The Illinois Senate on Sunday approved a resolution calling for police to categorize neo-Nazi groups as terrorist organizations, according to the Chicago Tribune.
The measure came as a response to Saturday's violence at a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Va., during which one person died and scores more were injured.
"It is vital that we stand in total opposition to the hatred, bigotry and violence displayed by the white nationalist and neo-Nazi groups in Charlottesville this past weekend," said state Sen. Don Harmon (D), who sponsored the measure.

"I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight (Live at the Somerville Theatre)" - U2
Digital Single
Track Listing:
Background Information
On March 10, 2009, U2 performed a short concert at the Somerville Theatre, in Somerville, just north of Boston. The show as a suprise show, and the audience was made up mainly of radio contest winners. During the show U2 performed five tracks, "Get On Your Boots", "Magnificent", "Breathe", "I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight" and "Vertigo". The entire performance was recorded and broadcast on radio stations across North America.
"I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight" was released as a commercial single to promote "No Line on the Horizon" in August of 2009. Along with various CD releases, Amazon.com in the USA released a digital single for purchase containing just this one song. The song was released with an embedded cover which was quite different to the cover being used on the physical releases. The cover here featured U2 shot from above standing in a white studio, looking into the camera. No text is present on the cover image. The version of the song is similar to the album version, and is not the remix version that U2 would later perform during the U2360° Tour. At the time of this writing this file has remained an exclusive at amazon.ca and is still available for purchase. The downloaded file is an mp3 encoded at 256kbps.
Other tracks from this performance were used on various releases. "Breathe", and "Vertigo" were both released as a b-sides to various versions of the "Magnificent" single. "Magnificent" was used as a b-side on some versions of the "I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight" single.
Liner Notes
No traditional liner notes in this digital release.

The installation was fairly easy and took between 1 - 1.5 hours. I've ran through two tanks of gas so far and gained 1.5 mpg. I could tell immediately a difference in acceleration. It's nothing insane but there is a very definite difference. Plus I haven't been laying off the gas pedal since I installed this and still got the increased mpg! Sounds better, more power and more mpg....how can you go wrong? This will pay for itself in less than a year.

Get dining news including restaurant closures and qualify for giveaways.
been going to this restaurant for years . although it is in need of an update , it does not matter as the restaurant is always busy and the food is outstanding .. always fresh and the flavor is really good .the food comes out quickly ! the egg rolls are the best that i have ever eaten ! servers are very efficient
We went to this place around 6pm on a Saturday and it was packed.
The dishes were pretty mediocre for the price. They were small, not very well prepared and dished out poorly because of the dinner rush. Looking past this, the incident of the night that left my family and I very unhappy was when we were given the wrong dish. The server insisted that it was what we ordered, and pretty much pushed us to keep the wrong dish. The thing is, all 8 people at my table were positive we ordered the pork dish, because it was a last minute substitution (as the kitchen had run out of what we wanted originally). What was also frustrating was that the server wanted to blame us for the incorrect dish. Her actions to resolve the issue were executed poorly, to say the least. We ended up keeping the wrong dish, and my brother was very ticked off through the entire meal. We failed to receive satisfactory service until the very end of our dinner - the server realized her tips were on the line!
We had never been to Rodos before but we were visiting family in the Port and they are regulars at Rodos and wanted us to come for dinner at their favorite Greek restaurant. Except for an unfortunate incident in my 20's with a bottle of Retsina, I've always been a big fan of Greek food so we were up for it.
The owner of the restaurant, Michael I believe, greeted us at the door with a big handshake and welcome, calling our friends by their names and moving at light speed to prepare a table for us. Waitresses swooped in and never left us waiting for anything. It didn't appear we were getting any special treatment; they were equally attentive to the other tables of diners. So high marks for service.
The restaurant is cosy with blue tablecloth covered tables adorned with white plates and tea candles, and a scattering of mediterranean items around the room for decor. Fairly standard restaurant decor and background music with only a hint of Grecian inspiration. I'll admit I'm a sucker for the blue and white ceramic tiles that seem so Hellenic in other Greek restaurants.
We started with a bread basket and an olive oil/balsamic dip and a tsaziki yogurt dip.The bread and pita were excellent with the dips and we quickly devoured everything on the table. Chicken souvlaki, roast lamb, and veggie spanikopeta were on our orders. Total bill for two of us came to $48.
Overall, the food was well cooked and presented. My only gripe was the scarcity of Greek seasonings which seems to be a trend in many restaurants catering to a mixed population
Back in our dating days, my wife and I frequented the former Fuji Sushi location along North Road, that has recently been displaced due to the Evergreen line. We have a lot of fond memories of that place and recall it being very busy with a long line of take-out customers most nights. One of the nicest thing about that restaurant was that it was run by authentic japanese that adhered to very traditional values.
We were surprised and excited to see Fuji Sushi re-open in Port Moody and soon thereafter went to try it out. The decor was an a big improvement over the former chinese restaurant that was there, although the seats/booths appeared to be the same, and were in need of repair/replacement. I am hoping that they are still in the process of overhauling the restaurant. The food, while comparatively cheap relative to nearby sushi restaurants, was not presented very well, being similar to a Sushitown or other, 'bare-bones' type establishment. The food was 'blah' - not good, not bad. We expected more given our joint recollection of Fuji sushi and hope its just the 'growing pains' of the new restaurant.
I went to Golphis on my birthday with my friends. It was a great experience, we all ordered steak because I heard it was rated best steak in all of the tri-cities. I was very happy with the meal and it was the best steak I have ever eaten. All of my friends had a great time and were satisfied with everything. The renovations are stunning and I would recommend this restaurant to everyone.
Shame about this one, it has lots of potential but unfailingly drops the ball with mediocre food, smallish portions, spotty preparation and quality control, and very high prices that are unjustified by the product. Huge markups on drinks make consoling yourself about your bad dining choice a very costly proposition.
Service staff are unfailingly good based on my experiences here for lunches and dinners. The location is lovely, the layout and architecture work well, but let's be honest, that's not why you select a restaurant, it's all about the food.
As with other Boathouse restaurants in the city, Richmond, White Rock, and New West (been to them all in the past year) they seem to position themselves with a misguided sense of importance. Having deposited something like $1000 into their till over the past 12 months, my dinner last night at the Port Moody Boathouse has solidified my opinion that I probably won't be back, there are many places with better ambiance, much better food, and much lower markups on the drinks.
File this one under "Missed Opportunity".
....then the place would rate very well, unfortunately too many problems to recommend this place.
We had a reservation, but our table wasn't ready when we arrived, in spite of the restaurant not being full.
We sat in the lounge and the waitress dropped food menus on our table and walked away. We told her we were waiting for our table in the dining room and she gave us a drink menu but no wine menu. When we asked for one she said they were all being used... but the place wasn't full, or even close?? My wife wanted a glass of bc red beyond the house wine and the waitress said they didn't have such a thing. When we did finally get a wine menu later there were at least 3 other local reds by the glass. Apparently this waitress must have been new?
Once we were seated I ordered a glass of wine to drink with my meal once I finished my beer. The waitress brought a carafe but no glass, explaining that they were out of clean glasses and she would bring one when they were ready? I ordered the Prime rib, but our waitress didn't know they were out. We both ordered steak, my wife's off the combo menu, mine a different cut from the a la carte menu. When we got the steaks, they were exactly the way you want them, except they cooked mine medium and my wife's medium rare, which was the opposite of the way we ordered them.
In all fairness the food was quite good, the sides were tasty the green beans tasted great, the steak was good, but far to many glitches for a place that aspires to be a step up from the run of the mill. My wife opined that this would be okay for a place that had recently opened, but they have been here for a couple of years, really how long do you need to work out the bugs?
2 steaks, 2 salads 2 a la carte sides, 2 glasses of wine and one beer, total: $140 before tip. I expect far more for that amount.
Dined in on a busy Friday night with 6 other people. Ordered lots of food i had a steak which was very tasty and all my friends were completely satisfied with the service. Restaurant looks outstanding from the inside. We enjoyed our dining in experience and I would recommend this restaurant to everyone. Food is so delicious. 5 star experience.
I went here for my birthday on a Friday night. The line up wasn't too bad so we waited. We finally got in and were seated against the back wall in the corner.
We received out drink order quickly and the waitress came and took our food order fairly quickly. We had bread to start which was just ok... and then after a fair wait, our meal came.
We didnt' see the waitress again until it was time to pay the bill. I even tried to call her over but was unsuccessful.
I had the spaghetti and meatsauce. It was so bland. I was really dissapointed. I've been here a few times before and I really enjoyed it.
After this last experience I won't be in any hurry to return. I think it's really gone downhill since I was here last time.
Terrible service and bland food.
The Boathouse has such potential to be good- Access to great ingredients, a huge gorgeous kitchen, attentive staff. You know, all the things that can make an eatery great.
And it's a HUGE but.
It was a large party for a birthday celebration. We were seated off to the side in a "private" area. Sadly, it was right next to the windows, and right under the speakers- freezing and superloud. The music was kinda clubby, mixed with power ballads from the '90's. Not the greatest, but not the worst. And not really conducive to conversation.
Service was fine- Our server seemed busy, as her section was spread far and wide. She was great checking for refills and ensuring wine was topped up.
The food, however, was terrible. The only redeeming item we had was the calamari- Nice and piping hot, not rubbery at all, with flavourful dips and light breading. The maple planked salmon entree was overcooked and weirdly sweet- not maple-sweet, more artificially sweet, and the wild rice was bland- no seasoning at all. The market fish duo was incinerated- the salmon dry and crumbly, the steelhead so-so. The potatoes were undercooked, almost crunchy, and the veg mushy and overcooked.
We could have requested new plates, but by the time they arrived, we were far too hungry to wait much longer. Lesson learned- we'll never be back to any eatery in this franchise.
After spending over $150 at a well known steakhouse recently, I was recomended by a soccer buddy to give Onyx a go. Why he said it was expensive I have no idea. 1 appy, 2 complete entree's, 1 desset and a bottle of wine for just under $100 all in!!! Great steaks and an even better wine selection. We hope to return soon.
We went here for an early dinner on a saturday evening. They were not fully booked. Still service was slow and inattentive. Long wait between the appetizer and the main course. I ordered the stuffed wild salmon. The salmon i received was the smallest driest salmon i have ever eaten in a restaurant. For a seafood restaurant, they should be embarrassed to serve this. I have had better salmon at the white spot!. dinner included the tiny piece of salmon a couple of stalks of broccolini and a scoop of mashed potatoes $26.99. My hubby had the miso halibut which was at least moist but with a couple of pieces of broocolini and a bit of rice overpriced at $32.99. Waitress checks on us when we are almost finished, " how are the first few bites?"-a little late to be asking that. Have to ask for a coffee refill it is not offfered and that takes another 5-10 minutes. Cant understand how this restaurant stays in business, food and service is so mediocre, and overpriced. UNIMPRESSED and would NOT recommend it!
We have been here many times as a couple and with family and friends. Everytime we have had outstanding meals. Everyone we have taken there has returned on their own. The portions are very plentiful and flavourful. This is real authentic HOMEMADE Mexican food! The owner, Charlie, is the main waiter and his wife is the cook. Charlie can be a bit hard to understand with his thick Mexican accent and can come across as a little eccentric but he is very kind. Don't expect a 5 star ambiance but you can expect a nice comfortable, quiet place to enjoy a quality meal. Go to Charlie's!
First of all, we didn't see the $30 Holiday Group menu until we asked the server, she asked me if I booked early and if I was "offered" the special. Well, when I saw this promotion, I booked via OpenTable on Oct 3, well before the expiry date of end of Oct. Then she has to inquire it with the manager, that part was fine.
Service was below par, server was particular too lazy to walk around the table to place the utensils or plates of food, everything were handed over across from me and I had to "receive" the items myself and I wonder where is the service coming from with that 15% gratuity? The tips wasn't even worth 5% in my honest opinion.
When it comes to dessert time, Créme bruleé is supposed to be creamy like pudding! But the one we have is just like a over cooked pound cake! While leaving the restaurant, we had to wait for our party to use the restroom, the sign at the reception clearly says all guests in your party will also receive a Gift Certificate for 2 Brunch Mimosas to use in the new year, and we weren't given during the check. When I asked the reception, she had to search for our reservations I made thinking I was here to lie for a coupon for 2 Brunch Mimosas? Even thou we were given these coupons in the end but a very unpleasant for the pre-Christmas dinner.
After getting home, the friend who dined with us had taken a photo of the menu, then I just noticed the coffee or tea was included; we were NOT offered or asked what we would like during the order of our food in the beginning.
Thank you for giving a very unpleasant experience!!!
I was hesitant to try this place after seeing some of the reviews. The place is pretty small but very cute. Our appy was out within minutes and our meal followed shortly, even though the place was packed! Our server was really nice and the owner (I'm guessing?) came back many times to see how things were and joke around. I'm very glad to have tried this place and so happy to not have to drive to Vancouver for some delicious Mexican!
As a local who would rather spend my $ locally I very much regularly enjoy Nicolelina's Cafe. The proprietors are warm, courtious, friendly and provide GOOD grub! This place is by far the best small to medium food joint in the 'hood! A mixture of local and exotic menu items and good coffee makes this the place to stop on your way to work or on your way home.
the name says it all... when we placed the call initially, we asked how long. She said under an hour. So, after an hour and 45 mins, I gave them a call. He said it left 2 minutes ago. When I said again that it has been almost 2 hours and that the lady told us it would be an hour he basically just blamed it on her. When the pizza arrived, it was cold and not great. probably tasted better than it was since we were so hungry.
We have attended two company Christmas Parties at the Coquitlam location, with one visit of our own in-between. Our first visit was favorable, hence our return visit on a normal Saturday night some months later.
Briefly, at our second visit the restaurant was extremely busy and the only table available was in the bar. The first problem was that a significant number of dinner items on the menu were "sold out" and no longer available. Having placed our order, it took over close to 2 hours to get any bread and 3 hours to get our dinner. In between, service was not existent.
We again attended for a Christmas Party on Saturday, December 8, 2012 with an early start The restaurant was for the most party not busy at all when we arrived, and never completely fill to capacity, though was certainly busier later on.
We were seated up stairs. While the restaurant itself is nice, the up stairs becomes very warm, and in general very noisy.
We were a large group with up to three servers attending to our needs, plus a young lad that filled water glasses. We were choosing dinner from a set menu. Initially they were very good with drink service, but as the restaurant below became busier, our service slowed.
It looking at the wine list, we noticed that more than half of the wines had a red dot over the price. The waitress explained that the restaurant buys the "end of the bin" as a result only gets a limited supply of the various wines. The red dots meant the wines was not available. We would rate the wine list as having quite a poor selection.
It was close to an hour and half before they took our dinner order, and then a total of two and half hours plus, before dinner started to arrive. Not all meals came up at once, and at our table there was a problem with one meal that was not plated properly for someone that was lactose intolerant, (this was corrected but took about 5 to 10 minutes). I had a soup starter, but had to ask for a spoon as there were none on the table.
The food in general was good and we have no problems with the kitchen.
The pre-ordered desert was slow to arrive after dinner, a good 30 to 45 minutes after people had finished their dinners. Desert was served without anyone having cutlery which again, had to be requested. Coffee was never offered, had to be requested, and arrived after most had finished desert.
It appeared about half of our servers had no experience at all and were supervised by one or two that maybe had some limited experience. The servers did respond quickly when requested, and did appear to be trying their best, but the restaurant definitely needs much more experience servers and better front of the house management.
For the price, this restaurant comes no where close to the Key, Boathouse, Earls etc. It has great potential, but there has to be a dramatic improvement in its service to get us back, not to mention the others at our table. The consensus from our group, was that the Christmas Party needs to be booked somewhere else.
Husband and I are relatively new to Port Moody and we like to have "our" pub so the search began. This place is great! The full time servers are fantastic. I think they have part time servers on Sundays because that's the only time we aren't given impecable service - still decent but not amazing.
We like to stop here on the way home from the office and we are always seated right away and our servers offer more drinks before we've gotten to the bottoms of our glasses. The service is great!
Husband and I are both impressed that we can actually get proper black and tans here as well as black and golds and crown floats. These are basically layered beers and they're hard to find!
The food is almost always excellent. I'm not crazy about the lamb sliders but that's because I don't like lamb lol. Their nachos are amazing as is the Steak and Guiness pie and the turkey brie sandwich.
They do have a few TV sets here but they aren't obtrusive so you can watch a game without being bombarded by it.
My husband and I tried this place on a whim. We had just moved to the area and were out for a walk and decided to have dinner here.
Wow. I LOVE this place! The atmosphere is quirky and elegant. Basically it reminds me of what I think the attic in an art gallery would be like. There's so much to look at and it's pure awesome. The service is outstanding. We are usually served by the same woman each time and she is fantastic. She and the other servers know the menu very well and make coming here that much more enjoyable.
The food is excellent. My husband likes to try new things every time we come here and I like to stick with my favourites. We've enjoyed everything from the crab cakes to the steaks to the deserts.
This isn't really the place for someone who doesn't like slightly quirky; it's a place with personality. It's not a stuffy establishment with a muted grand piano in the corner and whispering servers nor is it a loud trendy place like Joey's or Cactus Club. It's a place that's romantic, whimiscal and pure magic. Definitely keep it in mind for a special night out!

His daughter Catherine married King Henry VIII of England, and became the mother of Mary Tudor. He had four other children with Isabella, most of whom were also wed to sovereigns, thereby extending the power of Spain in Europe. Upon Isabella's death, Ferdinand remarried, but the only child died hours after birth. Ferdinand also fathered another six children with various mistresses.
Ferdinand II in Ruled Britannia Edit
In 1598, Lope de Vega wrote El Mejor Mozo de España as a tribute to King Ferdinand of Aragon, who was featured as the central character.[1]
Ferdinand II in "Report of the Special Committee on the Quality of Life" Edit
King Fernando and Queen Isabella ruled a Spain that had developed a complex, labyrinthian system of government agencies. In 1491 they requested a study by the Special Committee on the Quality of Life as to the desirability of granting Cristóbal Colón the ships and men needed to attempt a circumnavigation of the world via the Oceanic Sea rather than around Africa. The third report, turned in on 30 November 1491, concluded that such an attempt would not be in Spain's best interest.[2]

On Tuesday the Los Angeles Police Commission passed a proposal to give LAPD officers more training before deploying lethal force.
The commission also said there needs to be an "increase [in] the number of staff who review how officers use less serious force, such as less-lethal weapons or punches, to take someone into custody." The argument behind new requirements for less-lethal force is that such force is used more often than lethal.
According to the Los Angeles Times, the commission also wants the LAPD to increase the amount of information released when an officer-involved shooting occurs." Commissioner Sandra Figueroa-Villa said, "After a shooting occurs, there are often questions from the community — and rightfully so — about what happened and whether the shooting was necessary. I believe transparency is vitally important in addressing those concerns."
The commission's vote was "unanimous" and "reflects a nationwide atmosphere of heightened scrutiny of police use of force and demands for greater openness about why officers fire their guns."
The union representing LAPD officers criticized the commission for supporting new requirements for officers while rejecting calls to increase the number of officers on the street. The union's board of directors released a statement, saying, "The commission has become nothing more than a group of pandering apologists in support of misinformed professional protesters. These latest batch of proposals are more of the same, solutions in search of a problem."
Breitbart News reported that Chicago Police Department officials proposed new use of force restrictions on October 7, including a requirement that officers consider the race of the suspect before drawing their guns. A female Chicago officer was beaten to the point of hospitalization two days before the new proposals were issued. She described thinking she was going to be killed, yet she refused to draw her gun for fear of a public backlash.
As in LA, the union representing Chicago police officers was not pleased with the proposals. The New York Times quoted union president Dean Angelo Sr. saying:
At the end of the day, when an officer is confronted in that alley or an officer is confronted in a life-or-death situation, they are going to do what they is necessary to go home. If they getting written up for it, so be it. My concern is that these guys and girls go home to their families.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol arrested a St. Louis woman for a drunk driving accident last week. According to the traffic crash report, 61-year-old Wallace D. Wilson was operating a 2002 Mazda Protege while intoxicated when the accident occurred. Wilson was traveling on Enterprise Driver northbound when she lost control of the vehicle, veered off the roadway, and collided with a ditch in Bloomsdale, Missouri. Emergency crews arrived on the scene shortly after 10 a.m. and transported Wilson to the hospital for minor injuries she sustained. Police arrested her for driving while intoxicated.
Thousands of auto accidents are caused by drivers who operate their vehicles under the influence of drugs or alcohol. According to Mother's Against Drunk Driving, two out of three people will be involved in a drunk driving accident at some point in their lifetime. Lawmakers have created and enforced strict traffic laws pertaining to driving while intoxicated. Despite the criminal charges and risk of injuring or killing themselves or others, millions of individuals make the irresponsible decision to commit DUI. Losing a loved one is tragic and learning that the accident could have been prevented is devastating. There is no amount of money that can replace the loss of a loved one; however, compensation may be owed for medical bills, funeral expenses, loss of economic support, and mental anguish.
The experienced St. Louis drunk driving accident attorneys at The Morris Law Firm have the experience and skill to handle your case. We will fight to hold the at-fault driver accountable while recovering the compensation you deserve. Contact our office today for a free consultation.

This week's Top Ten Tuesday theme was all about the visuals and since I just recently created a graphic novel list, I wanted to try my hand at something else – enter picture books. Picture book illustration is truly an art form and there are some amazing artists in the picture book world right now. I had a hard enough time not only repeating an illustration, but also choosing which ten I would highlight. I hope this provides you with a wide range of illustrations styles to feast your eyes upon! Enjoy!

Ask the payment expert ... about PEPPER reports
Ask the payment expert ... about the observation stay loophole
What can you tell us about PEPPER reports?
On Aug. 30, TMF Health Quality Institute mailed SNF PEPPER reports to freestanding skilled nursing facilities.
These PEPPER (Program for Evaluating Payment Patterns Electronic Report) reports are created to assist you in evaluating risk areas that the government has recognized as having the potential for improper payment and, thereby, fraud and abuse. You need to review them.
If your facility is part of a hospital system, you can access your report through your My QualityNet system.
There are six key areas identified as potential risk areas including: therapy RUGs with high ADLs; Non-therapy RUGs with high ADLs; Change of Therapy (COT) assessments; Ultrahigh Therapy RUGs, Therapy RUGs; and 90-plus Episodes of Care.
If your facility is above the 80th percentile or below the 20th percentile in some areas, you are considered at high risk. The Office of the Inspector General identifies that each facility is required to have a Corporate Compliance program in place in 2013 and as part of that program, SNFs should conduct regular audits.
They see this report as a beginning of that process. If your report shows you are in the risk percentile, you need to seriously consider having a Medicare audit completed to see if your services are correctly documented and billed.
Also, even though the PEPPER reports are not available for public release, TMF does provide PEPPERs to other CMS contractors, including Medicare Administrative Contractors (MACs), Fiscal Intermediaries (FIs) and Recovery Audit Contractors (RACs).
You need to read the User Manual for the PEPPER reports so you can better understand and analyze your report.

Screams, squeals and booming laughter filled the sanctuary at the Santa Rosa Seventh-day Adventist Church as students kicked and chased around a soccer ball. Across the hall in the chapel, others played tag and jumped rope.
Nearly 90 Redwood Adventist Academy primary and middle school students moved into the church just south of downtown Santa Rosa after the October wildfires destroyed their Mark West Springs Road campus. With no slides, monkey bars or ball fields at the church site, school officials needed ways for students to burn off extra energy.
"We play tag, indoor soccer or capture the flag — whatever doesn't break windows," said Jessie Michel, who teaches seventh and eighth grade. "We make the best of it."
Michel said the school also received some portable basketball hoops a month after the fire for the older students to play in the parking lot. On a recent rainy afternoon, though, her students hunkered down in the church's small game room, chatting loudly as they waited for their turn on the piano and foosball table.
While several schools celebrated their reopening this month after completing cleanups and fire debris removals, Redwood Adventist students will have to wait months to return to their K-12 campus.
Principal Angie Weems said crews started removing the charred remains last week, but the cleanup likely won't be completed until the end of February. None of the buildings on the 23-acre campus survived the fire, she said.
"Our goal is to get portables for next school year out there," Weems said.
Seventh-grader Kaighlei Clendennin, 12, misses the school's grassy fields and farm, where she and classmates raised corn, eggplants, heirloom tomatoes, melons and peppers. They'd just harvested the first of the winter squash when the Tubbs fire barreled down the ridge, destroying the farm and all the school buildings.
"Everything was dead," said Clendennin, who visited the farm and campus two weeks ago for a farewell ceremony. "There was no grass left. Just black."
Weems said the lack of outdoor space at the church has been an adjustment for her students, who are "learning to be city kids." She, however, voiced hope the farm program could be restarted this spring and children bused there at least once a week for fresh air and exercise. Primary students went to the fields at least once a week, while the 35 high schoolers, who temporarily moved to Rio Lindo Adventist Academy east of Healdsburg, spent more time out there as part of their agriculture class.
"If we can get their kids out there this year, it's going to be huge," Weems said. "It's great for education. It's great therapy."
She and her staff were able to resume classes in the church's school area a week after the wildfires broke out Oct. 8, helping restore a sense of normalcy for families, including five who lost homes. Roots run deep at the school, where alumni send their children and grandchildren.
It's not the first fire to devastate the school. Founded 87 years ago, a fire destroyed the original school house on Wright Road in southwest Santa Rosa after a boiler exploded in the early 1940s, Weems said. The school was rebuilt, and families continued to send their kids there until 1971, when the campus was built in Mark West, she said.

No, usually you apply the patch in Windows which modifies the .nds file and produces a new patched .nds that you then put on your Acekard.
I can't really be more specific without know what you're trying to patch, but in general the instructions come with the patch.

They say the news never sleeps, and this week, we believe it. Comey-fever gripped the nation, answering some of the nation's burning questions while raising a few others (tapes, anyone?)… Elsewhere on Capitol Hill, Senate Republicans started working to get the healthcare vote on track for a July 4th deadline—something we'll be watching closely. The Week That Was editorial team has also been keeping an eye on a few other recent items:
But that's not all. So read on for a few more stories from The Week That Was.
Loxo Oncology made a splash at this year's American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting in Chicago with data from their drug, larotrectinib. The drug demonstrated strong results in the treatment of 17 different types of cancer in both children and adults. After 12 months, 76% of patients' tumors had shrunk, and for 79% of responsive patients, tumor growth stopped completely. Larotrectinib treats cancers caused by a mutation in the TRK gene, which is incredibly rare. To prescribe the treatment, doctors need the genetic makeup of a patient's tumor, discovered through genetic testing. Only 12% of late-stage metastatic cancer patients get tested, however, because it can cost patients upwards of $5,000 out-of-pocket, since most insurers consider the test "experimental" and don't cover the cost.
There's no doubt that these results are incredible. Larotrectinib appears to be succeeding where other treatments have failed for patients of all ages– the youngest patient to take larotrectinib was just one month old, the oldest was 80. However, Loxo estimates that between 1,500 and 5,000 U.S. patients have the TRK mutation. For oncologists, that equates to about 1% of their patients. Saying that larotrectinib "could be a poster child for what the future looks like," Loxo CEO Josh Bilenker is calling on insurers to cover genetic testing, which could ultimately help patients far beyond those with the TRK mutation. By highlighting the value of genetic testing, Loxo makes a strategic case for larotrectinib that paves the way for other mutation-specific treatments, benefitting patients, physicians, and other drug innovators. We liked this approach, and the market did too: Loxo's stock leaped 40% the day after the company released its data.
C-suite shakeupS DEMAND SOLID COMMS PLANS—INSIDE & OUT
Over the past couple of months, C-suites across the industry—from small biotechs to big pharma—have seen quite a bit of movement. While much of the activity can be attributed to regularly business ebb and flow, i.e., retirements, promotions, and, in some cases, the creation of new positions within an organization, a few companies have lost executives amidst a range of issues. And nothing draws more attention than a C-suite shake-up due to legal and ethical concerns.
While Martin Shkreli spoke and tweeted directly following his resignation from Turing Pharmaceuticals, the press has been left to fill in the details from two other recent C-suite overhauls: Valeant Pharmaceuticals and Alexion Pharmaceuticals. In both cases, management changes during ongoing investigations resulted in negative headlines, press speculation, and considerable stock fluctuation. When Valeant announced the resignation of its CEO as a "CEO succession plan" in a press release chock full of collegial quotes from board members and the outgoing CEO, media outlets immediately speculated that the board ousted the CEO. Similarly, when Alexion issued a release announcing an interim CEO and a new CFO, noting that those who previously held the positions were leaving to "pursue other opportunities," press took the opportunity to highlight the company's ongoing challenges, including investigations into its sales practices. In both situations, a "source" familiar with the matter provided context that helped substantiate reporter speculation.
In the post-Shkreli environment, the press, the public and even pharma employees are skeptical of corporations and can escalate issues easily via social media and the 24/7 news cycle. As a result, boards are acting more quickly than ever to shed executives that may damage a company's image. Acting quickly, however, isn't enough; internal and external communications must be equally prioritized to help the company avoid speculation and navigate to firmer ground with the public and staff. After all, your employees are your PR reps at the front lines of PTA meetings, little league games, and in line at grocery stores, day in and day out. For companies considering leadership transitions for any reason, we advise building a comprehensive plan with two-way communications (i.e., sharing information and receiving feedback) with key stakeholders—including employees—to prioritize transparency and refocus everyone on plans for the future.
Following consumer product companies' lead, pharma marketers are getting wise to the fact that consumers are more reachable on digital platforms than on TV. But that's easier said than done for drugmakers since targeting consumers due to suspected health conditions is, well, prohibited. Despite the regulatory challenges, Facebook is betting big on pharma, hosting its first invitation-only event for pharmaceutical marketers last week. As part of this strategy, the Facebook Health team is tweaking its advertising platform for pharmaceutical companies so they can comply with strict regulations around product promotions.
If Facebook is building it, consumers will likely come—and post about it. So moving to digital advertising seems more of a "when" than an "if" for pharma marketers. However, we counsel our clients regularly to 'listen' on online platforms, not just advertise. Social media channels are often where we find the first signs of an emerging issue. Any online marketing strategy has to be treated as a conversation with consumers; companies need to prepare their digital platforms to both message and respond, or risk be left out of the conversation altogether.

Not every day do you think that Elmo and Tattoos have something in common...but they sure do at a child's 3rd birthday party!
I had the pleasure of photographing the most adorable 2 year old last year and her birthday party at home. This year, her parents called me to photograph her 3rd birthday party and I didn't even hesitate! Of course! I couldn't believe that an entire year had gone by already! And to my amazement, she had grown twice as tall as she was the year before. Her smile just as contagious and her laugh and fun-loving spirit is simply unforgettable!
I couldn't help but love that her parents thought about taking them to some place educational for a child's birthday party. The Gardens on Spring Creek had this amazing little room where the kids actually got to plant a plant, start a seed in a necklace and of course have cupcakes!
Once the juice boxes were empty and the cupcakes had vanished into crumbs, the fun was about to start, tattoos, birthday party horns, stickers and of course JUMPING! The laughs and smiles were infectious and you couldn't help but smile and laugh right along with them. If the word "adorable" had a picture in the dictionary...it would be a picture from this birthday party!
Happy Birthday Vera!

5 Things You Will Learn
- Providing a platform and tools to self-manage knowledge and data engages and empowers communities
- Acknowledging and valuing community knowledge and priorities leads to improved engagement and partnerships
- Creating knowledge repositories, sourcing legacy data and developing data standards is important for sharing of information and providing data for decision making
- Providing "decision useful" information to community and stakeholders is an important consideration in developing online resources and tools
- Open data, open source technology and interoperability underpins knowledge sharing for improved decision making and practice change
Target Audience
These projects have wide application across multiple sectors due to the underpinning philosophy of open sources knowledge sharing. While the technology and approach outlined here relate to the biodiversity and NRM sectors, the principles are easily transferred to any discipline that collects, stores and disseminates information. This research will be of relevance to a wide range of organisations including government agencies, non-government organisations, community groups, not-for-profit organisations and the private sector. This is reflected in the partnerships across other CeRDI projects including local government, Research and Development Corporations, the Environment Protection Authority, CSIRO and Landcare Networks.
Presentation Overview
Management (NRM) through the acquisition and sharing of knowledge. Innovative online technology is playing an increasing role in the support and implementation of citizen science activities. Two projects being conducted in Victoria are using web-based spatial applications to facilitate and support the use of community sourced information for natural resource management and biodiversity conservation. The Natural Resource Management planning portal (NRMPP) is a regional catchment planning tool designed for Catchment Management Authorities and Landcare organisations to plan and prioritise natural resource management works. State-wide Flora and Fauna Teams (SWIFFT) is network of community groups, individuals and organisations that is underpinned by online technology to share knowledge and data on biodiversity issues throughout Victoria. Open source web-based spatial platforms are being used to deliver existing data from multiple sources, provide tools for the entry of spatial data and to provide information required for decision making. The focus of the two projects is to build knowledge management systems with tools that can be used by the community, land managers and other stakeholders to manage, control and share their own data in an online environment. Submission and sharing of community biodiversity and NRM data using online spatial platforms, and federating it with regional, state and national environmental data is facilitating community engagement and providing a process for identifying opportunities to collaborate on NRM activities and biodiversity conservation projects.
Robert has worked in environmental science and GIS for over sixteen years, on a range of natural resource management issues with local, state and national stakeholders. My current research interests include: technologies for citizen science in natural resource management, web-based spatial systems and knowledge sharing in agriculture.

Too often a "merger" in higher education is a euphemism for a thinly veiled takeover of a weak partner (such as Baltimore's Mount St. Agnes College) by a strong one (Loyola College), and too often the "merger" promises what it will never deliver -- such as great economies. Moreover, the extreme difficulties of combining institutions of different -- sometimes strikingly different -- traditions and outlooks are almost always overlooked.
In 1989, the last time a merger of the University of Maryland Baltimore County and the University of Maryland at Baltimore was proposed as part of a three-way deal also involving the University of Baltimore, we thought it would never fly. It was a one-ring circus, with UM Regents Chairman Peter O'Malley as ringmaster. It cost O'Malley his post, and it cost UMAB the services of Harvard surgeon and professor Augustus White, who withdrew after his appointment as president had been announced.
But now many things have changed. Most of the higher education bigwigs have signed on to a two-way joining of UMAB and UMBC. Michael Hooker, the UMBC president whose perceived ambition to head the combined unit might have thrown up a roadblock, is actively seeking a presidency elsewhere and says he would not be a candidate to head the new "University of Maryland Baltimore." And promoters of merger wisely are not claiming it will save the state millions of dollars.

Dear folks,
This month begins with a Messy Bonfire on Tuesday 1st, and concludes with Advent Sunday on 27th.
In the middle of that we pause to refresh our memory of precious lives that have been and still are being laid down for our safety and security.
The feast of St Martin of Tours is celebrated on 11th November. The Hungarian born reluctant 4th century bishop and modern patron saint of beggars had an influence that reached as far as Scotland and Ireland.
Martin became a Roman Soldier as a teenager and experienced a strong sense of vocation as a young adult, which became more real when in the army. One day while out on patrol he came across a beggar without adequate clothing. Legend has it that he impulsively cut his military cloak in half and gave half to the beggar. That night, Martin dreamed of Jesus wearing the half-cloak he had given away. He heard Jesus say to the angels: "Martin, who is still but a catechumen, clothed me with this robe." (Sulpicius, ch 2).
Centuries later the remnant of the cloak had become a holy relic and was carried around by kings and even into battle. The clergyman who carried the remnant became known as a cappellanu… ultimately all priests who served the military were called cappellani, the French translation of which is 'chapelains', from which the English word chaplain is derived. Small temporary churches were built for the relic and became known as "capella", the word for a little cloak. Eventually, such small churches lost their association with the cloak and began to be referred to
as "chapels".
Reflecting the Eden family ancestry the beautiful wee Chapel at Cromlix house has a strong military influence with its regimental drums, flags, and stained glass windows (no remnant of St Martin's cloak though!) This is not unusual of course as historically the Church and military services have enjoyed a close relationship and military chaplains are still in service today.
But it was during his time in the army that St Martin faced his greatest faith dilemma – Just before a battle in the Gallic provinces at Borbetomagus (now Worms, Germany), Martin determined that his faith prohibited him from fighting, saying, "I am a soldier of Christ. I cannot fight." He was charged with cowardice and jailed, but in response to the charge, he volunteered to go unarmed to the front of the troops. His superiors planned to take him up on the offer, but before they could, the invaders sued for peace, the battle never occurred, and Martin was released from military service. *
Perhaps it is no co-incidence that St Martin's feast is shared with Armistice Day.
Our service men and women, some of whom are teenagers, indeed have great courage. While we remember the sacrifice made by those who paid the great cost for our freedom, and the willingness of all who take the same risk today, let us commit to pursuing international policies that require courage to be put in the forefront of bringing peace to the world without fighting.
We will observe an act of remembrance in both our morning services on 13th November. At the 10:30am service I am delighted to welcome the Explorer Scouts who will share in our service and act of remembrance. I hope you can make it too.
With every blessing,

What is risk for you ?
In discussions about the better strategies for application in published papers offered in Tesouro Direto (Treasury direct), I give my opinion if the investor wanted maximum safety, the better choose was invest in LFT, because the payment of title is adjusted by Selic rate in each meeting of Banco Central Copom. My thesis was that risk is the chance of suffer a unexpected lost in investments if goes obliged to leave the application in a bad moment. So, the LFT is a title with the less risk.
For to base my conclusion, I was showing with the daily variation of LFT with maturity in 03/07/2015, from september/2010 until november/2011. Note that each meeting of Copom the baseline of daily profitability of title varies, in line with the new basic rate of interest.
Many up a point also interesting, by emphasizing that, in reality, the risk that exist in fixed income applications in Tesouro Direto is the possibility commit some mistake in choose of the papers and lose money. This way, argued that, instead of manage by yourserlves a wallet of public titles, the application less risky was choose a good investment fund, that levied rate of manage sufficiently low.
In the End, after many discussions and with four interesting chooses, the solution of consensus was diversify the applications, building on investments goals and the specific way how each one faces the possibility of losses in your heritage.

What is an Assembly ?
An assembly contains code in an intermediate format called Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL) and it generates from a compiler like Visual Studio.
All compilers for .NET Framework generate code in this format, regardless of the programming language that was used to write an application. This enables the CLR to run code in the same way, regardless of the language that the developer used.
Assemblies are the building blocks of NET. Framework applications; they form the fundamental unit of deployment, version control, reuse and security. An assembly can be of two types: an executable code that other programs can reuse. By using a library, developers can modularize the development of their applications into logical components.
Assembly Singning
Assembly signing is an important step that developers should include in their build process because it provides the following benefits:
- It protects assemblies from modification.
- It enables you to include the signed assembly in the global assembly cache (GAC) , so you can share the assembly with multiple applications.
- It guarantees that the name of the assembly is unique.
- To sign your assembly, you can use the Sign Tool that provided with the .NET Framework, or you can use the assembly- signing functionality in Visual Studio.
- Major version number
- Minor version number
- Build number
- Revision number

A former Bosnian Croat general has died after drinking a phial of poison in whilst receiving his war crimes sentence at the Hague.
Seconds after the judges of the UN mandated tribunal sentenced him to 20 years, Slobodan Praljak, shouted "Praljak is not a criminal. I reject your verdict. I just drank poison."
An official statement from the International Criminal Tribunal on Yugoslavia ICTY, said,
"Mr Slobodan Paljak, one of six defence appellants in the Prlic et al case passed away today in HMC hospital in The Hague. During the public pronouncement of the appeal judgement the appeals chamber confirmed his conviction and affirmed Mr Praljak's sentence of 20 years of imprisonment. Immediately thereafter, Mr Praljak drank a liquid while in court, and quickly fell ill. Mr Praljak was immediately assisted by the ICTY medical staff. Simultaneously an ambulance was summoned.

On 12 April 2016 the FCA published two documents and a speech by Christopher Woolard, FCA Director of Strategy and Competition, providing further clarity on the FCA's progression with the regulatory sandbox. A regulatory sandbox is a 'safe place' in which businesses can test innovative products, services, business models and delivery mechanisms without immediately incurring all the normal regulatory consequences of engaging in the activity in question. The FCA's original plans for the regulatory sandbox were published in November 2015.
In the speech delivered by Christopher Woolard on 11 April 2016 at the Innovate Finance Global Summit, he confirms that the FCA will run two cohorts for the first year, allowing room for both the FCA and the firms to mutually learn from the process. The FCA will ask firms wishing to partake in the regulatory sandbox to submit applications explaining their proposition and how it meets the sandbox eligibility criteria. The FCA, therefore, encourages firms to submit well developed testing plans, as the FCA will be selecting firms for the first cohorts with the "most doable" test plans.
The two documents published address the following:
- Sandbox eligibility criteria – This document sets out the criteria implemented by the FCA in establishing whether a firm will be eligible to take part in the regulatory sandbox. The criteria includes questions on whether a firm is intending to deliver ground-breaking innovation in the regulated market to benefit consumers and whether the firm is ready for testing.
- Default standards for sandbox testing parameters – This document sets out general standards and expectations regarding the duration, number of customers, customer selection and safeguards, disclosure, data and testing plans.
The FCA will start accepting applications from firms on 9 May 2016. The firms that are successful will then be able to test out their innovative ideas using the sandbox.
