Hillsboro City Council members had eight pieces of legislation on their regular January meeting agenda Monday night, although an additional ordinance was added during the meeting. By the end of council's first meeting of 2017, two ordinances up for their third reading failed, one ordinance was tabled following objections by the auditor and council split on a vote to suspend the three-reading rule for an ordinance.
After several months of consideration, an ordinance to repeal the city's Community Improvement Corporation (CIC) "died for lack of a vote," and an ordinance to repeal the Design Review Board failed. Despite both ordinances having been introduced by council members Tracy Aranyos, Claudia Klein and Ann Morris, none of them moved to pass the CIC ordinance, and Morris voted against repealing the Design Review Board.
At council's September meeting, council was asked to approve several appointments to the Design Review Board. At that meeting, Aranyos said that she didn't "feel the need for a Design Review Board" and proposed disbanding the entity altogether.
The ordinances to repeal the Design Review Board and the CIC were introduced at the November council meeting, after which there were ongoing discussions between council and members of the Design Review Board. Several citizens also attended council meetings to speak against the ordinances, and a committee meeting was held Monday night prior to the regular meeting to discuss the legislation.
Only Aranyos and Klein voted in favor of the Design Review Board ordinance Monday night, and there was no discussion prior to the vote.
The third item set for a vote on Monday night, an ordinance to establish a charge to fund inflow and infiltration abatement in the sewer department, was not passed, either. After council heard its third reading, the ordinance was tabled at the recommendation of city auditor Gary Lewis, who had concerns with its language.
"While I fully support the establishment to fund the inflow and infiltration abatement, I'm afraid if we pass this this evening, it would have an adverse effect, what we don't want to happen," Lewis said. "The reason I say that is in Section 3, it says 'a surcharge provided by this legislation shall be a substitution of $2, with the additional fees provided by 2008-04, so that the net effect shall be a zero increase in sewer charges created by this legislation.' However, if you look at Ordinance 2008-04, that deals only with the increase in rates in 2008."
"My legislation was Ordinance 2007-08," council president Lee Koogler said.
"OK," Lewis said. "I had an older one, so if she changed that, that would be the correct one."
Lewis said the original legislation "says 2008-04," so Koogler said "there needs to be an amendment on the record by council" to fix it.
Lewis said that there was also an issue with the percentages in the 2007-08 ordinance.
"Since we're looking at this storm sewer abatement program, that probably should be changed where the auditor shall designate 40.5 percent to the sewer debt retirement, 34.5 percent for sewage improvement and 25 percent for storm sewer abatement," Lewis said.
"Then it would sound like the ordinance probably needs to be rewritten to clarify," Koogler said.
"I would think so," Lewis said.
Koogler placed the ordinance back into the utilities committee to "get the language right" with city law director Fred Beery.
During his report, mayor Drew Hastings introduced an ordinance to change the city's funding of the County Visitors Bureau, "to ensure that Hillsboro is properly marketed by the Visitors Bureau." In the ordinance, it is proposed that "50 percent of all receipts from lodging tax reserved to the general fund of the city shall be distributed to the Highland County Visitors Bureau, subject to review annually by City Council."
"I think increasing the percentage amount that's up tonight for a vote is a really small amount for the benefit that we're going to gain from their efforts," Hastings said.
As previously reported in The Highland County Press, Hastings asked council to consider increasing the city's contribution to the organization from "about $4,000 a year to about $15,000 to $16,000 a year" last summer. At the July 2016 meeting, Hastings had proposed giving the Visitors Bureau 50 percent of the city's lodging tax.
In June 2015, council put a one-month moratorium on the lodging tax, saying they would seek an opinion from the Ohio attorney general.
However, according to a statement from the Ohio Attorney General's Office on July 21, 2015, the city did not request an opinion on the lodgings tax. A 2015 audit of the Highland County Convention and Visitors Bureau stated the city's tax "should not have been levied."
Highland County Prosecutor Anneka Collins also told the city of Hillsboro in August 2013 that the city tax was inappropriate since the county lodging tax pre-dated the city tax by several years, referencing a March 29, 2013 opinion by Ohio Attorney General DeWine.
During the finance committee report, committee chair Dick Donley asked if the legislation was to come before council Monday night.
"I was just handed legislation," Koogler said. "This is one of those things I don't particularly enjoy at the last minute."
Koogler read the ordinance aloud to council members while copies were made for them to review and reminded council and administration that he "put a rule on many years ago asking that any new legislation be presented to council at least three business days prior so nobody's surprised and everyone has ample time to review it."
Donley said that the finance committee had met with visitors bureau director Destiny Bryson and asked Hastings if the point of the new legislation is that "50 percent of receipts go to the visitors bureau."
"I think the reason we talked about percentages is we initially were kind of casually talking about percentages, and I think that's why it got put in there," Hastings said. "I made a point to have Fred put in there that council reviews it annually.
"I think we did it 50-percent because we thought, ballpark, we're taking in $28,000 to $30,000 a year, and we thought 50 percent is about the 15 [thousand] that we were trying to get them. Well, actually, they wouldn't even be getting 15 because we're already giving them two or three [thousand], so we're probably giving them their net effect of about $12,000."
Donley said that he did recall discussing percentages during their prior meetings.
"The annual review of it is a good idea also, to see how things kind of go," Donley said.
Donley said that he would recommend that council consider the ordinance "for passage" Monday.
"If you think the visitors bureau is worthwhile – and some do, some do not – I don't see why we would tether that to the lodging tax," Lewis said. "There is that possibility the lodging tax will go away. We might have a ruling against that where that disappears, but the visitors bureau is not going to disappear. It will still be there. Once you start helping fund that, taking away that money from it because you've lost that lodging tax is going to hurt that visitors bureau.
"It just seems to me more logical that we just have it stand alone and just have it within our budget, if you want to pass legislation to do so, to fund the visitors bureau at whatever rate you want to do that and just keep the lodging tax as the revenue stream that it is for as long as it exists."
Hastings argued that the "structure" of the ordinance is so that the bureau won't "have to come back and ask for money every year."
"The other thing is, frankly, the only people that have ever grumbled about this, whether or not we should have a hospitality tax, is the county," Hastings said. "If we keep the visitors bureau funding in the hospitality bed tax, then it takes away any argument that the county would ever have for trying to get rid of it because indeed, if we got rid of it, they would be cutting off their own nose. They would be cutting off their own funding of their visitors bureau. So it kind of takes all the teeth out of them ever wanting to raise the issue again."
"Does it really matter, with the way the ordinance is written?" Koogler asked. "It says 'in the event council does not review and approve this funding annually, the same shall expire and terminate,' so it appears like we're going to be looking at it on an annual basis anyway, which is what we do with our budget. I'm not sure it really matters either way."
Hastings said it would be "a simple review to pass every year."
Morris and Bill Alexander, the other two members of the finance committee, said that they supported the ordinance, while council member Rebecca Wilkin asked "where this is coming from."
"The reason that I got this back on the table is we had the change in the visitors bureau," Hastings said. "I was confident that we had somebody there that was good, and I think she has some really good plans.
"The stuff that she's come forward with, that she's either given to us or brought into the office about what they're trying to do for Highland County but also Hillsboro in general, I thought we should really help them try to get off their feet. Part of the reason now, as I recall, I was asking for the increase was they increased the pay to the executive director slightly, and we wanted to help support that because they were able to get a better executive director."
Donley echoed Hastings' support of Bryson.
"I feel it would be a good gesture on the city's part to increase the funding for the visitors bureau," Donley said, and moved to suspend the three-reading rule.
However, the vote to suspend the three-reading rule failed, with six votes required to suspend the three-reading rule. Wilkin and Justin Harsha voted against the suspension of the three-reading rule.
For the five other legislative items on the agenda, two ordinances received their second reading, while two "housekeeping" resolutions and a water and sewer rate ordinance were passed.
Council voted to suspend the three-reading rule to pass an ordinance to repeal legislation providing for automatic increases in water and sewer rates.
A resolution for the transfer of various funds for fiscal year 2017 and a resolution to enter into an agreement with the Highland County commissioners to provide legal counsel to indigent persons charged with serious offenses and loss of liberty offenses in the Municipal Court were also approved.
Council heard the second reading of an ordinance amending Chapter 155 (Zoning Code) Section 155.006 (Nonconforming Uses of the Ordinances of the City of Hillsboro) and an ordinance amending Chapter 155 (Zoning Code) Section 155.064 (Powers of Board of Appeals; Variances, Special Exceptions and the Like) of the Ordinances of the City of Hillsboro.

Hastings announced that Gary Silcott of Stantec is serving as an interim safety and service director for the city, following the termination of former SSD Todd Wilkin's employment. Hastings said that Silcott is "coordinating our infrastructure projects" before informing council about a number of different plans for city infrastructure in 2017.
"We decided to move ahead with phase two of the North East Street project," Hastings said. "We were originally seeking grant funding for this, but it's not ranked high enough for that award, so instead we were offered a $100,000 grant and a zero-percent loan for $295,000. We felt it made sense to take that deal."
The project should be "begun and done this summer," Hastings said. As discussed at the October 2016 meeting, the second phase includes curbs, gutters, sidewalks, paving and storm systems.
Hastings said that the city intends to apply for grant for "phase three" of the project and also will be applying for grants to pay for sidewalks on North High and West Main streets.
Hastings also told council that according to Silcott, the city is "good to go on the demolition of the Colony Theatre," and the city will be seeking bids to complete work there.
"I'm pushing to have it done by this spring," Hastings said. "I really want to move fast and get this done and over with so we can move on to some other things."
The city is looking to install signs "north of town to require southbound semi trucks to use the new Carl Smith Drive and Careytown Road for deliveries to the Harry Sauner area." The signs are to deter semis from making a right-hand turn from High Street to Harry Sauner Road, impeding traffic.
"We would have some police enforcement initially to get them used to going that route," Hastings said.
Hastings also updated council on the addition of several new businesses within the city, as Harbor Freight Tools will be occupying the building formerly housing the Pepsi plant on High Street and "a fairly large development" is in talks to build on Careytown Road. At the end of the meeting, council approved a sign variance request for signage at the new Harbor Freight location.
In the Hillsboro planning commission report, Hastings said that commission member Buck Wilkin has resigned, and Joe Mahan has joined the commission. The commission also heard a proposal for multi-family housing units on Taylor Court.
• • •
Council received a letter from the Ohio Department of Liquor Control regarding an application by Slow and Low Barbecue for a D1 license.
Koogler said that he also received a letter from the Highland County commissioners asking for the city's recommendation for a representative to serve on the land bank board.
"They are still trying to get back to us on some of the questions about whether the person has to be a resident in the city to represent the city's interests," Koogler said. "I think at this point, I'm going to leave the issue as something that's pending."
Koogler said that he hoped "the city can be very involved in" the land bank project and that he hopes to have an answer for the county by the end of the month.
• • •
Council held an approximately 40-minute executive session near the beginning of the meeting to consult with legal counsel for the city regarding pending litigation. Hastings and Lewis were later invited to attend the executive session.

Real and Monetary Shocks to the Canadian Dollar: Do Canada and the U.S Form an Optimal Currency Area?
There is widespread agreement that during the floating exchange rate period from 1970 to the present Canada's nominal and real exchange rates with respect to the United States have shown considerable volatility. It has been suggested that the volatility of the real exchange rate would be substantially reduced if the nominal exchange rate with the U.S.~dollar were fixed, either through a permanent fixed exchange rate mechanism or the adoption of a common North American Currency. In all discussions of the fixed verses floating exchange rate question, it is important to understand why real exchange rates are volatile. The sources of real exchange rate volatility are the focus of our paper. Our findings are that substantial real shocks have occurred and were an important determinant of the real exchange rate. Since our results indicate that the sources of exchange rate volatility are real, not monetary, they are unfavorable to the adoption by Canada of a common currency with the United States.

N.J. Residents Favor Wine and Spirit Sales in Supermarkets
According to a statewide survey conducted by the Monmouth University Polling Institute (MUPI) and commissioned by New Jersey Retailers for Responsible Liquor Licensing (NJRRLL), more than three out of every four New Jerseyans who consume alcohol support a proposed change the state law to permit wine and spirit sales in supermarkets.
According to a statewide survey conducted by the Monmouth University Polling Institute (MUPI) and commissioned by New Jersey Retailers for Responsible Liquor Licensing (NJRRLL), more than three out of every four New Jerseyans who consume alcohol support a proposed change the state law to permit wine and spirit sales in supermarkets.
The aim of the telephone survey of 787 New Jersey residents age 21 and older, which took place last month, was to assess public opinion on allowing such sales. Among 76 percent of regular purchasers, the answer was a resounding "yes."
"We were overwhelmingly surprised by the strong support for the change," noted Richard Levesque, executive director of Trenton-based NJRRLL. "The public favors the modification as a matter of convenience for the occasional purchase of a six-pack of beer or a bottle of wine."
Assemblyman Louis Greenwald (D-6) recently introduced legislation to gradually raise to 10 a current two-license limit for grocery stores. Greenwald has referred to the limit a "holdover from a bygone era," adding that the measure would help create jobs and spur economic growth.
Additional findings of the survey are as follows:
—The majority of New Jerseyans (56 percent) believe supermarkets should be allowed to sell alcoholic beverages, vs. 38 percent of Garden State residents who are against it. Support was at 51 percent among occasional shoppers and dropped to 29 percent among those who never buy alcohol
—Among those who favor allowing such sales, convenience is the most important argument (50 percent). Among those against such sales, the top concern was minors having easier access to alcohol (33 percent)
—Over four in 10 (44 percent) New Jerseyans who purchase alcohol said they would continue buying alcohol at liquor stores as often as they do now if supermarkets sold alcohol. A similar number (47 percent) said they would go less often
—Younger people are more likely to favor alcohol sales in supermarkets, with 65 percent of those between the ages of 21 and 34 in favor of it, vs. 57 percent of 35 to 54 year olds and 49 percent of those 55 and older
—One in three residents of suburbia oppose the change, but just over half of urbanites are against supermarkets selling alcohol, with most of them (42 percent) being strongly opposed. When asked, many urban residents answered that they're opposed to drinking in general and the they fear an increase in underage drinking
—Top reasons given for allowing supermarket alcohol sales by those in favor of them were convenience (50 percent) as the most important argument, the idea that "other states do it" (15 percent), the feeling that there's just no good reason for limiting the sale of alcohol to liquor stores (14 percent).
—More than four out of 10 (44 percent of) New Jerseyans who buy alcohol said that expanding sales to supermarkets wouldn't alter their alcohol-purchasing habits at all. A similar number (47 percent) said they would go to liquor stores less often. About one in four of each group would go a little less often (24 percent) or a lot less often (23 percent). Among regular alcohol shoppers, 38 percent said they planned to purchase from local liquor stores as often as before, while occasional shoppers are less likely to change their behavior (49% percent)

The clinical and demographic characteristics of persons with HSV-2 infection undergoing intensive swab- and diary-based studies of HSV-2 severity at the Virology Research Clinic have been detailed in previous publications (5, 37, 57, 63). Cell samples were then processed and labeled with specific fluorochrome-conjugated antibodies to identify select leukocyte populations with a Coulter Epics XL flow cytometer (Beckman Coulter, Miami, FL), as described previously (59). Lymphoblastoid cell line and K562 cells were maintained in RPMI-F [RPMI 1640 medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum, 50 μg of streptomycin per ml, 50 units of penicillin per ml, 2 × 10−5 M 2-mercaptoethanol, 1 mM pyruvate, 2 mM l-glutamine, 25 mM N-2-hydroxyethylpiperazine-N′-2-ethanesulfonic acid (Hepes)]. Some people can have herpes but never have symptoms at all. Both the virus herpes type 1 and type 2 can cause herpetic lesions on the lips or genitals, but always cold sores are almost always the first symptoms of type primary infection is heavier than recurrent infections in general. A risk more than 30 year of HSV infection of a contract HIV positive male partner Since most asymptomatic individuals are unaware of their infection, who are at high risk of spread of HSV considered. Vaginal swabs were taken on days 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7 after challenge.
Collectively, the initial cascade of chemokine expression is complex but may be divided into two principal pathways involving CXCL10 and IL-6 (). Many individuals with symptomatic HIV infection report frequent and severe oral HSV recurrences. Small red bumps appear first, develop into blisters, and then become painful open sores. Treatment of genital herpes requires accurate diagnosis, patient support, and effective treatment. HSV1 infection can also be sexually transmitted to the genital area. Fact Sheet Communicable Disease, Herpes II last revised: November 2006. Some amongst you probably know them as cold sores or fever blisters.
Genital herpes is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) which shows as blisters or sores on the genitals. Last Reviewed: November 2006. After the first outbreak, most people will have four or five more outbreaks within the year. (i) The prevalence of acyclovir-resistant HSV is higher in severely immunocompromised patients than in immunocompetent patients. 16-25 of Americans have genital herpes. In many cases, patients do not suffer from any symptoms but carry the virus and can infect sexual partners nonetheless. Genital herpes is caused by a virus called herpes simplex (HSV).
In less crowded places, the incidence is lower, for example less than half of university entrants in Britain have been infected. I just got told i have herpes yesterday i have had symptoms since monday eve and even ended up in hospital been told i have a really bad urine infection. For the past few months though, we have both had pretty severe breakouts with bumps, severe itching, etc., brought on originally I think, by an off-brand clothes detergent we had never used before. Most patients with genital herpes experience a prodrome (i.e., symptoms of oncoming disease) that includes pain, burning, itching, or tingling at the site where blisters will form. HSV-2 can also infect the mouth, although it mainly causes genital herpes. Early symptoms are often nonspecific and the majority of their mothers lack a history of genital herpes infection. The subjective nature of pain alone does not in any wise militate against its existence here.
Long-term expectations Neonatal herpes Even with treatment, HSV infection lasts a lifetime. About 40 percent of people with an initial HSV-1 outbreak will never have another. Aciclovir treatment of varicella and herpes simplex virus during pregnancy can significantly reduce morbidity in the mother and potentially in the infant9 (E2). The first outbreak of herpes is often associated with a longer duration of herpetic lesions, increased viral shedding (making HSV transmission more likely) and systemic symptoms including fever, body aches, swollen lymph nodes, or headache. (17) In most cases, the following cases of resistance to acyclovir laboratory documented, wild-type virus, acyclovir sensitive reappears in new shoots if the last drug resistant focus has been successfully treated. Symptoms can include blisters on the skin, eyes and mouth. The information presented on this website is not intended as specific medical advice and is not a substitute for professional medical treatment or diagnosis.
There are a huge number of people whom deal with herpes on a regular basis. The ability to accurately define both the symptomatic and asymptomatic ends of the spectrum of HSV-2 infections provides new opportunities to study host factors that could determine the extent to which people will recognize and suffer herpetic recurrences. Pathophysiology: Because the female genital tract is contiguous from the vulva to the fallopian tubes, there is some overlap between vulvo-vaginitis and cervicitis. However, when it comes to topical treatment of herpes sores on the genitals, doctors do not recommend using different healing ointments and creams.According to some experts, it can block the air intake process in skin cells, as well as increase the likelihood of secondary bacterial infection.Therefore, you need to follow only the following recommendations for the successful healing of lesions: daily washing.Every day, take a shower, using soap.In the hot season to wash twice a day.This will prevent the development of bacterial flora; Underwear.To speed up the healing process of herpes, wear comfortable underwear made of cotton.This fabric allows the skin to breathe and does not cause friction; Food Additives.Zinc and lysine in tablet form to help accelerate healing sores from herpes.Take they should be only prescribed by a doctor as an additional tool.

Plot Summary
Contemporary Australia - a mature society with a defined cultural identity but not without rough edges, which make lives unnecessarily hard and complicated. Into this landscape drifts a demonic figure who calls himself Darius, who first appears in a short prologue, set in Southern Germany in the closing days of World War II.
It turns out that alongside humans there exists another race, outwardly human but with far greater longevity and physical strength. Their intelligence is about the same or greater than human, albeit it with certain blind spots. They hate humanity for displacing them from the top of the food chain, and their character traits give rise to traditional demonic myths - an enemy moving amongst us, intelligent, resourceful and hostile - and in constant search for human virgins. Yet Darius does not merely wish to reproduce - he hopes that humanity is now such a self-evident failure, that it is possible to find women who will be willing accomplices in rebuilding his race and overthrow humans as the dominant species. He ruthlessly pursues this goal with all means at his disposal. Darius behaves as a magnet - all who meet him instinctively line up to serve him or to oppose him.
But time is on his side.

Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama both appear to be beating the war drums when it comes to Russia. Tensions have been building for weeks as talks about the fighting in Syria fail. Now, both the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Obama administration are blaming Russia for the various hacking of emails of the DNC and Hillary staffers. The White House says that there will be a ″measured response″ to this alleged cyber-war. But, so far, no real case has been made yet proving that Russia is behind these hacks. Julian Assange of WikiLeaks has denied involvement by Russia. Meanwhile, the Russian government is warning its citizens to be prepared for war.
The situation is Syria went from bad to worse a couple of months ago when a Turkey shot down a Russian jet which they claim violated their airspace. Russia denied that their fighter-bomber entered Turkey′s airspace and, in fact, the plane crashed several miles in northern Syria. Then the United States and other nations began to sound charges of war crimes against Russia after some civilian casualties from the bombing campaign in Syria. After one recent attack on Allepo, the photograph of a small Syrian child sitting in a waiting room at a hospital went viral globally.
When WikiLeaks and other hacker groups began releasing damaging emails about the Hillary Clinton campaign, as well as about her own email scandal and of possible ′pay-for-play′ tactics by the Clinton Foundation charity, the only recourse to deflect the content of these hacked emails was to blame the hackers. Even the Obama White House, including Barack Obama himself, are charging that Russia is behind the hackers and is doing this to influence our elections. Obama′s Department of Homeland Security has even suggested that they take control of the election process away from the local and state authorities because of potential cyber attacks on voting machines. Such an action would essentially hand the vote counting over to the Obama administration, which supports Hillary Clinton.
After John Kerry walked out of talks with the Russians on Syria, the situation between the United States and Russia has been as dangerous as it was back in the early 1960s during the Cold War. Perhaps the Trump campaign should come up with their own version of the ′Daisy Commercial′ used by LBJ in 1964 against Barry Goldwater? They could run audio of comments by Hillary Clinton and Obama while showing images of bombers and missiles flying as nuclear weapons explode! Even Green Party candidate, Jill Stein, has declared that it appears that Hillary Clinton wants a war with Russia!
Meanwhile, Obama and Hillary continue to deny any notion that the Islamic State, also known as ISIS or ISIL, poses any ″existential threat″ to America. The fact that Russia is bombing ISIS has become lost in our body of politics. Well, almost lost. I happened to come across an event on C-SPAN which took place on Thursday, October 13, 2016. The event was a seminar hosted by the Bipartisan Policy Center and Kansas State University on the subject of ′Biological Threat Preparedness′. The speakers were former Senator Tom Daschle, former Congressman Mike Rogers, former Chief of Staff, retired General Richard Meyers, and the president of the BPC, Jason Grumet.
According to General Meyers, during a recent raid in Syria, a laptop computer was captured belonging to a high-level operations officer of ISIS. One of the items in its files was information pertaining to ISIS seeking biological weapons. The file document said that ISIS needs to explore this option as biological weapons are much more easier and cheaper to acquire, develop and deliver. The BPC forum last Thursday spent much time on several potential biological threats which we are not well prepared to handle.
Along with more familiar types of biological threats, such as anthrax and Ebola, there are also dangerous threats posed by various diseases and blights which could impact out food supply. Right now, in Bangladesh and Afghanistan, there are wheat blights ravaging crops. These could easily be acquired by ISIS and introduced to America through the Syrian refugee program. The impact on our food supply, and economy, would be devastating! It should be noted that the most destructive natural disaster in the history of the United States was the Chinese chestnut blight which nearly wiped out some 4 Billion of the American chestnut trees from existence around 1900. Before it, it was often said that a squirrel in Maine could leap from chestnut tree to chestnut tree all the way to the Mississippi River. Today, there is one small stand of American chestnut trees in Wisconsin.
Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are playing with fire as they make their baseless accusations against Russia. The Russians are worried. So worried that they are advising their citizens to find out where the nearest shelter is should an attack occur. Russia has been invaded several times and each time the effect was devastating. During World War 2, Russia bore the brunt of the Nazi German war machine, about 75% of the Germany Army, causing some 25-30 Million Russian deaths. Whole towns were wiped out! Russia has a deep, paranoia engrained in their psychology. When someone like Obama or Hillary start making threats against them, they take it seriously.
Unlike both Obama and Hillary, who do not take the threats posed by ISIS seriously at all. Even though radical Islamic terrorism is working its way through Europe, turning whole communities into ′No-Go-Zones′ for local police. Nations like Sweden are experiencing wide spread attacks on its ethnic-European population from Muslims. In Germany, the government is advising its citizens to stock up on extra food and water in the event of a terrorist attack.
The choice is very clear this November. A vote for Hillary Clinton is a vote for war with Russia. The Obama administration may even use this as an excuse to seize control of the election process and rig the outcome in favor of Hillary. Once again, America is at a crossroads. Hillary Clinton will start a war to make herself appear strong as well as use it for cracking down on free speech and other rights of our citizens. Also, to help her fat-cat banker friends on Wall Street. Donald Trump is the candidate of peace, love and cooperation. Trump will work and negotiate with our allies to make the world safe for all from the threats posed by radical Islamic terrorism. This is a fight which we should be working with the Russians, not against them. But, as the WikiLeaks emails show, Obama and Hillary Clinton are actually arming terrorist groups like ISIS. Why is our Media not talking about that I wonder?

A combinatorial F box protein directed pathway controls TRAF adaptor stability to regulate inflammation

Uncontrolled activation of tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor (TRAF) proteins may result in profound tissue injury by linking surface signals to cytokine release. Here we show that a ubiquitin E3 ligase component, Fbxo3, potently stimulates cytokine secretion from human inflammatory cells by destabilizing a sentinel TRAF inhibitor, Fbxl2. Fbxo3 and TRAF protein in circulation positively correlated with cytokine responses in septic subjects and we furthermore identified a hypofunctional Fbxo3 human polymorphism. A small molecule inhibitor targeting Fbxo3 was sufficient to lessen severity of cytokine-driven inflammation in several murine disease models. These studies identify a pathway of innate immunity that may characterize subjects with altered immune responses during critical illness or provide a basis for therapeutic intervention targeting TRAF protein abundance.

For years, sports fans have stood at office water coolers debating whether their teams' owners paid too much money for their favorite teams' latest stars, consumed by the fact that the new commitments could lead to a rise in ticket prices.
But perhaps since coaches' salaries are unregulated by the cap, fans rarely discuss the merits of coaches' new contracts.
This week, the New York Knicks are likely to name Larry Brown their coach, a deal that is expected to cost Cablevision chairman James Dolan at least $10 million a year.
Knicks guard Stephon Marbury called the decision to hire Brown a "no-brainer." But even with the largest market to work with and plenty of on-the-court improvements to be made, it's not clear if Brown will be worth the money.
In order to figure out a coach's value to a team, the club first must be convinced a coach actually makes a difference. Washington State sports economist Rod Fort recently wrote a paper that quantified such things, called technical efficiency, and discovered some NBA coaches are more able to manage the talent given to them, which can lead to greater success.
Last year, sports economist David Berri published a paper called "Stars at the Gate," which concluded there is a direct correlation between winning percentage and attendance in the NBA.
"Research we've all done makes it clear that the price for some coaches should be higher than others," Fort said.
But Brown is entering a unique situation.
For 13 straight years, the Knicks have averaged more than 19,000 fans per game. That current streak is an NBA record, even though the team's mark over the past four seasons is 139-189, a .423 winning percentage.
Last season, the Knicks sold 98.7 percent of total tickets available, while having one of the worst seasons (33-49) in the past two decades.
"If there doesn't seem to be a correlation between winning and attendance with the Knicks, why are the owners paying Brown this kind of money?" asks Berri, an associate economics professor at Cal State-Bakersfield. "They'll make more money keeping Herb Williams as the head coach at $1 million a year and pocketing the rest."
Cablevision also owns the Rangers, who despite missing the playoffs for the last seven seasons, haven't experienced any drop in attendance. This trend is unlike that of New York's baseball teams, whose attendance seems to be more rooted in performance on the field.
Brown had a chance to sell more tickets in the last two markets in which he coached.
Under Brown's six-year tenure with the 76ers, the average per-game attendance was 18,633, a bump of more than 5,000 fans per game over the previous six-year attendance average. In his two years with the Detroit Pistons, Brown led the team to an NBA championship, and average attendance during his reign ballooned to 21,683 fans per game -- an increase of more than 4,000 per game, compared with the five-year period before Brown arrived in the Motor City.
But some sports economists say the $10 million New York will be paying Brown still could be seen as sensible when compared with the $6 million Brown earned in each of his last years with Philadelphia and Detroit.
According to Team Marketing Report, the Knicks charged an average of $70.51 per ticket last season, compared with Detroit's $36.75 per seat. That means New York earned about $20 million more at the gate last year than Detroit did.
Forbes Magazine estimated that in the season the Pistons won the championship (2003-04), the Knicks' overall gross revenues surpassed that of the world champions by $89 million.
"If Larry Brown was worth $6 million in Detroit, I believe he is worth $10 million in New York, just given the difference in revenue streams," Fort said.
Brown can help pay off some of his salary if the Knicks play additional games, as in make in the playoffs. It's estimated that the Knicks could earn more than $1 million per home playoff game. So if the team somehow manages to make it to the Eastern Conference Finals, having home court in at least one series, $10 million can be made.
The Los Angeles Lakers recently rehired Phil Jackson after missing the playoffs for the first time in 11 years. The Lakers, like the Knicks, still sold 98 percent of their arena, but Berri says since the team has never been consistently bad, it's hard to tell if the basketball fans in Los Angeles are as loyal as those in New York. Jackson will be making at least $7 million per year. His replacement, Frank Hamblen, was making $1 million, which is $1.86 million less than last year's league average for NBA head-coaching salaries.
Other economists point out that winning can increase television ratings for Knicks broadcasts shown on the MSG Network, which also is owned by Cablevision. In February, ratings of New Jersey Nets telecasts on the YES Network tied the ratings of Knicks broadcasts for the first time ever.
"They're obviously not paying Larry Brown that kind of money to fill the seats," Steven Levitt, an economics professor at the University of Chicago, said. "I think it's more about the fact that they own their own network and any profit that they make on advertising, they don't have to split with anyone."
But the ultimate goal in a sports world filled with billionaire owners isn't always to make money.
Washington Redskins owner Daniel Snyder surely didn't give Joe Gibbs a league-high four-year, $28.5 million contract in order to sell tickets -- the team has sold out every game since 1966 and has a waiting list of more than 80,000 names. Snyder presumably did it because he believed having an experienced coach could give him a chance to get to the Super Bowl.
Much like the players they manage, coaches don't necessarily get paid for what they are worth. A recent NFL Coaches Association Survey showed the Super Bowl champion New England Patriots had the fifth highest-paid staff. Ironically, the four teams with the highest-paid staffs -- Dallas, Tampa Bay, Washington and Kansas City -- didn't even have winning records last season.
Even though the Knicks' publicly owned status should affect how they spend, Dolan has approved almost $450 million for the Knicks' payroll over the past five seasons. During this time period, he has written checks to eight players for more than $10 million for a season's work.
That list includes Anfernee Hardaway, who was paid $14.6 million last season without starting a game.
It's just hard to figure out the math for a team that pays that kind of money for a Penny.

A small open source firm behind the erasure of Hillary Clinton's personal email server is enjoying a lot of free publicity thanks to the investigation into the server's contents. BleachBit, an open source system erasure tool, has been around for a few years and won some accolades, and now it's the center of attention on the Clinton email scandal.
It started with Trey Gowdy, the Republican congressman from South Carolina leading the investigation into the private email server. He mentioned BleachBit in an interview, saying Clinton's 33,000 deleted emails have been "deleted where even God can't read them."
Gowdy told Fox News last week, "You don't use BleachBit for yoga emails or for bridesmaids emails. When you are using BleachBit, it is something you really do not want the world to see."
Gowdy made it out to be something of a nefarious tool, but as PCWorld noted in its 2013 review of the tool, BleachBit is just a secure erase tool, one of many, and it does a good job of it.
"BleachBit feels like a solid, no-nonsense utility for users who know what they're doing. Being free, open-source, and cross-platform are great advantages, especially in an enterprise environment," the reviewer said at the time.
+ Also on Network World: State Department turned off spam filters for Hillary Clinton +
Andrew Ziem, the developer behind BleachBit, wrote in a blog post that that BleachBit's web traffic "spiked" after Gowdy's comments, and a second, larger wave came after the story went viral. His servers have handled the traffic load. Not too surprisingly, his comments section has exploded into political arguments.
Ziem is in the center of a political firestorm, but he seems to be making the most of it.
"Perhaps Clinton's team used an open-source application [like BleachBit] because, unlike proprietary applications, it can be audited, like for backdoors," he noted in his post.
"BleachBit is free of charge to use in any environment whether it is personal, commercial, educational, and government, and the cleaning process is not reversible," Ziem said.
He added that the company "has not been served a warrant or subpoena in relation to the investigation."
I'm not sure why it should be subpoenaed. It's just the tool. The question should be for the presidential candidate who felt the need to use such a tool to erase emails about yoga and bridesmaid dresses.

Snoqualmie Valley
The Snoqualmie Valley is a magnificent rural valley just minutes from the greater Seattle area and has some of the most fertile soil in the nation. The Valley's farms supply food to the region's farmers markets and restaurants, and its forests provide local timber, clean air, salmon habitat, and fresh drinking water. Beyond its farms and forests, the Valley also has abundant recreation from hiking, mountain biking, and white water rafting to fly fishing and skiing.
The Snoqualmie Valley faces population growth, development pressure, high land prices for farmers, lack of infrastructure for recreation, and threatened wildlife populations that all put pressure on the rural landscape. Communities within the Valley are not unified and many people outside the Valley are not aware of its immense regional value.
With broad support from participants in the Snoqualmie Valley community, Stewardship Partners and the Mountains to Sound Greenway Trust have launched a new community initiative focused on bringing together the many interests in the valley, finding opportunities for common ground and collaboration, and completing actions to ensure the long-term sustainability of the farms, forests, wildlife and people in the valley.
For more information, please contact Jennifer McKeown, Snoqualmie Program Manager.

Boundaries report delayed
Guardian Staff Reporter
Published: Jan 11, 2017
Speaker of the House of Assembly Dr. Kendal Major said while he had expected the final report of the Boundaries Commission to be tabled in Parliament on Monday, "much to my disappointment", several "unprecedented and mitigating factors", including information leaked last month, impacted the commission's work.
Major, who chairs the commission, said he will "continue to anticipate a report from governing members and also the opposition with respect to recommendations as we go forward".
It is unclear when the commission's report will be finalized and tabled.
"There has been a leak of some proposed information that made it on social media and in the dailies much to the [disappointment] of the chair and [it] certainly undermines the process, and makes this somewhat unprecedented that we, who are sworn to secrecy, somehow, through our deliberations, matters such as this are leaked to the public," Major said.
"And so that has caused great contention within the rank and file of the commission, and it is important that you know that the chair is certainly displeased about that."
Information obtained by The Nassau Guardian last month revealed that the commission recommended the creation of a new constituency.
According to the information, portions of Fort Charlotte, Bains Town and Grants Town, Centerville and Englerston will be redrawn to form a reconstituted St. Cecilia.
Before the holiday break, Major confirmed that the one new constituency to be created would be St. Cecilia.
At the time, Major said the government was largely agreeable to the commission's changes to the boundaries.
It remains to be seen if those changes will stand or whether there will be further changes.
As he addressed parliamentarians on Monday, Major also said the change in the make-up of the commission also slowed the process.
After becoming leader of the Official Opposition last month, Long Island MP Loretta Butler-Turner appointed St. Anne's MP Hubert Chipman to the commission, replacing East Grand Bahama MP Peter Turnquest.
"The apparent revocation for the member for East Grand Bahama and the new member, now the member for St. Anne's, [has resulted in] a slowing of the process and that also has been unprecedented in that regard," Major said.
"There is no fault there, however; it is what it is."
The speaker also pointed to the low voter registration numbers, which play a large part in guiding the commission's work.
As of last week, there were over 76,000 registered voters for the next general election; a far cry from the 134,00 registered voters five years ago.
Major urged parliamentarians and the public to do their part to encourage registration.
The last changes in boundaries came in 2011.
Other members of the commission include Deputy Prime Minister Philip Brave Davis, Marathon MP Jerome Fitzgerald and Senior Supreme Court Justice Stephen Isaacs, the deputy chair of the commission.

"Heart Surgery"
About: Wythenshawe Hospital / Cardiology Wythenshawe Hospital Cardiology M23 9LT
Posted by Greega111 (as ),
I had a large heart operation in February, 2009. A few points: first, the team of surgeons and the ICU staff are superb. The service in the new Intensive Care units (CCU) was exemplary: one to one, fantastic array of equipment, professional and friendly staff.
F6 - the main hospital ward to which heart patients return after their stay in the CCU - now seems very shabby after spending some time in what felt like a space ship. The nursing staff are excellent, the attention perfect - but the whole place seems terribly run down, with ancient washing facilities in rooms that were past their sell-by date decades ago.
Two other factors are negative. First, the food is diabolical. From the toast in the morning - pieces of indeterminate rubber - to the apology for 'fish and chips' in the middle of the day, the food served to patients is neither healthy or edible. It's a disaster.
Second, patients in wards like F6 are constantly being sent to different places in the hospital for tests - XRays, Ultrasounds and the like. They are, at this point, at the mercy of a group of porters who ferry them from place to place by wheelchair. This system is creaking to the point of collapse: it is simply unforgivable to leave patients sitting on a wheelchair in the middle of the night in a deserted corridor. And this certainly happens.
But, the major issues - going to a hospital and getting a critical job done - are brilliant: you go to the place ill, you come out better.

Chad Toprak is an independent game designer, curator, and academic. He has a passion for curating, producing, and organising videogame exhibitions, gatherings, parties and events.
His most recent exhibition Contours was in partnership with the City of Melbourne and took place in the Gallery at the Library at The Dock between October and November, 2016. The exhibition explored a brief history of the fringes of independent videogames in Melbourne and Australia, and featured playable videogames, artwork, zines, video interviews, sculptures, photography, artefacts and other cultural gems.
Chad co-directs and curates Hovergarden, Melbourne's local videogame curatorial duo. He organises and hosts exhibitions, parties and gatherings for friends and strangers to play a curated selection of contemporary videogames. These events take place in a wide variety of spaces including parks, city streets, laneways, rooftops, warehouses, bars, and other public venues.
Chad is currently in the process of completing a PhD at RMIT, writing about the practice of videogame curation, culture and the New Arcade movement. He explores the nuances of curating videogames and how it's similar to and different from curating other forms of media.
Chad champions, and encourages the making, gathering and playing of weird, unconventional and experimental games in public and social spaces. In the past, Chad has worked on award winning games such as Turnover, the four-player multigravity steal-the-ball-n-run frenzy, Cart-Load-O-Fun, a two-player collaborative physical game designed for trains and trams, and dualcyon, the experimental Leap & VR puzzle game for two.
In his spare time, Chad finds himself indulging in sour worm lollies and wasabi flavoured peas – he is yet to try them both together.
