text: Nick Eatman DallasCowboys.com Staff Writer OXNARD, Calif. – There has been no practice as of yet out here at training camp. Only two players – Jason Witten and Brandon Carr – have spoken to the media and it was short briefings by both. The only substantial event that has occurred is the opening press conference from Jerry Jones and Jason Garrett, giving their annual introduction to training camp. But although the contact has been minimal, the vibe out here seems pretty good. In fact, it seems rather appropriate for the situation at hand. The Cowboys really aren't saying anything. We're not seeing any bold predictions this year. No talk about making the playoffs or the Super Bowl – although that remains the goal.

Anytime I'm about to kiss my girlfriend she gives off this vibe likes she's nervous to kiss me or doesn't want to. It makes me extremely nervous to kiss her again or move to making out. so we rarely make out. We have been together for awhile and she is a shy girl. Any thoughts why she acts that way?
My GF acts like she doesn't want to kiss?

Known as the best ballerina in New York City, Nina feels her career threatened with the coming of a rival dancer before expanding their rivalry into a twisted friendship.
The first trailer for "Black Swan" has been unleashed via Apple. It puts its highlight on Natalie Portman's Nina, the best ballerina in a New York City ballet company. She lives with her retired ballerina mother who zealously supports her daughter's professional ambition.
When artistic director Thomas Leroy (Vincent Cassel) decides to replace prima ballerina Beth MacIntyre (Winona Ryder) for the opening production of their new season, Swan Lake, Nina is his first choice. But Nina has competition: a new dancer, Mila Kunis' Lily, who impresses Leroy as well.
Nina fits the role of the White Swan with innocence and grace, but Lily is the personification of the Black Swan who represents guile and sensuality. As the two young dancers expand their rivalry into a twisted friendship, Nina begins to get more in touch with her dark side with a recklessness that threatens to destroy her.
Coming from "The Wrestler" director Darren Aronofsky, "Black Swan" is a supernatural thriller which will see Natalie Portman sharing a lesbian scene with Mila Kunis. Other cast members include Sebastian Stan, Barbara Hershey and many others.
Along with the release of the trailer, the first poster featuring Portman's character in a thick make up has also been debuted. The movie will be screened at the 35th Annual Toronto International Film Festival running September 9-19 before gracing limited U.S. theaters on December 1.

Paul John Knowles, nicknamed the Casanova Killer, went on a four-month killing spree in 1974. He still remains one of the lesser known serial killers of his generation. Learn all about this psychopath who wanted fame before his life ended.
November 7, 1974
As she entered her home in Milledgeville, Georgia, all Ellen Carr probably had on her mind was going to bed. She was a registered nurse who worked a night shift, and although her small family welcomed the money, the job was a demanding one.
Inside, the house was unnaturally quiet. She found that odd. Her husband, 45-year-old businessman Carswell Carr, and 15-year-old daughter, Amanda, usually greeted her when she came home from the hospital.
That wasn't the only sign that something was seriously amiss. As an investigator later put it, "The [place] looked as if it had been attacked by an animal." Mirrors were smashed. Slashed furniture lay everywhere, some of it in pieces. Books from the bookshelves littered the floor.
Had they been robbed? Where were Carswell and Mandy? Heart pounding, Mrs. Carr ran from room to room, calling out. Minutes later, she was back outside, screaming hysterically. Neighbors called the police to what was obviously the scene of gruesome double homicide.
Carswell Carr's nude corpse was lying face down on the couple's bed, hands bound behind his back and 27 stab wounds, inflicted by scissors, all over his body. The medical examiner later determined that he had died of a heart attack, likely brought on by the torture. Down the hall, Amanda was also face down in her room, one nylon stocking tied tightly around her neck and another shoved down her throat. To compound the horror, she appeared to have been raped after death.

What do women business owners need to know about finding investors for their business and about business valuation? In Part 2 (below) of our interview, Stephanie Newby , former Managing Director of Golden Seeds ® network of angel investors, answers these and other questions. (Part 1 discusses general funding issues for women-owned businesses .) Janet: One of the things you mentioned is that you have to find good investors. I guess I have two questions. First of all, what are the mistakes women make in looking for funding, and how do they know that an investor is the right one for them?
 Stephanie: Well, one mistake is not understanding the capital structure of the company before they go into it.. For example, I met an academic who was a scientist and she had done twenty years of research. She'd taken in about a hundred thousand dollars to commercialize her research and for that hundred thousand she ended up with only ten percent of the company which is absolutely outrageous. So I think women need to do a much better job insuring they really do understand how companies are structured and what impact taking capital in has on their company.
 It's not something to be afraid of. It's something to understand and then be able to take responsibility for yourself, and take control of yourself. So, without being a control freak (meaning not willing to give up equity), you make sure you understand it really well. And then you can really manage who you bring in, how much you're willing to give away, what that money is going to buy you.
 And when you're taking capital in, what you want to do is look for more than just dollars. So you're really looking for people that can add value to your company as well as the capital. Janet: If somebody's looking for capital as a start-up, what percentage should they expect to have to give away? Does that vary from deal to deal?
 Stephanie: It does vary from deal to deal, but the best way for me to describe this might be to describe a typical angel deal. The company's looking to raise anywhere from five hundred thousand to a million dollars. The product might be in prototype, or it may be even in beta, which means ready to commercialize and already has one or two paying customers. The money that they're looking to raise is going to help finish off the final development of the product, but more importantly to help them start to bring in some customers or at least scale those early customers.
 So let's say we have a company that's going to bring in five hundred thousand dollars. They're normally going to be giving up around 25-30% of the company and so if we put in five hundred thousand and we're getting 33% of the company, then that means that after we put the money in, the company is worth $1.5 million. So it's simple math, really, and it means that before we put the money in, the company was worth a million. The $1.5 million is what we call the post-money evaluation. So it means the pre-money evaluation was one million dollars, and with our five hundred thousand dollars the post money is 1.5 million and we, the investors, have bought 33% of the company.
 Janet: How can a startup determine the value of their company? Valuation is one of those puzzling things for most business owners.
 Stephanie : When you're in that very early stage, what matters most is the percentage of ownership. That sort of matters more than what the value of the company is because, really, many of these companies don't have much real value. In fact if an accountant put a book value on [one of these early stage companies], it would be zero. So really what you're looking to get right is, the balance of who owns what at this early stage. What we really want to make sure is that the entrepreneur doesn't start to feel like an employee. So we don't want to take too much percentage of the company because then what we've got is an employee and what we want is an entrepreneur. This is why we're typically taking minority stakes in the company, less than 50%.
 Let's take a company that hasn't started at all yet. We've got three people around the table and we need all three of them. We've got an investor, we've got someone who created some really fantastic technology that has some patents and we have a business person, a CEO who is going to be able to commercialize this. So the easiest way to think of it is - let's divide this company up 33% each. You're going to give the technologist who has the patents 33%, and we'll call that person the founder. You give the CEO businessperson 33%, because we need them to be building the company, and we are going to give the investor 33%. Then you're going to say, Well how much money do we need for the next twelve months? And if that number is five hundred thousand, then you go back to the numbers that I used before, which means you've effectively created a 1.5 million dollar company out of those three pieces.
 Janet: That's a great explanation of valuation. Do one-person companies ever get funded? At what point should someone be seeking investors?
 Stephanie: Yes. Usually a single person has some other people working for them, but they might not have much of a management team yet. They might come to us and we'll ask, Well, what does your management team look like? And they might say, Well, right now it's just me but once I get funded, I'm going to be bringing in so-and-so, who's going to be my chief technology officer, and by the way, this person's already been working a bit for me for equity. I can't afford to pay them yet until after the funding but here's their resume and you can meet the person if you want.
 Or, they might have a chief operating officer as well, in the wings, or, you know, more typically we see co-founders because it's just easy to get something started when you've got a couple of people. But yes, a single person can get funded. Usually the first round of financing is going to come from their own friends and family. We call that the friends and family round. And you know, that's a good thing, because those people are really betting on this individual. Whereas, once we come in, we're betting on both the individual and the idea.
 I think it's really imperative to never take capital from somebody that you don't like, or that you don't want to be working with because your investors really are helping you build the company. You've got to care as much about them as you do about an employee.
 Janet : At the New York Venture Capital Association meeting this Spring [2011], there was talk about a lot of money chasing too few deals. Do you see that as being useful for women looking for funding today and is it any easier for a woman to get funding now than it was, say, ten years ago?
 Stephanie: It's definitely a good thing to have more capital in the market, because this whole sector is very starved of capital. So that benefits both men and women. If you think about whether it easier for a woman to get funding now than it was ten years ago, I don't think we've got very much data to compare. But there's been a lot more in the press in the last couple of years about the importance of ensuring that women entrepreneurs can get funded, and there have been many efforts to try to raise awareness of this in the minds of both venture capitalists and angel investors. So, I think it would be very much easier.
 CBI Insights published a Venture Capital Human Capital Report in 2010. One interesting thing that came out of that is that women entrepreneurs in New England get funded at a much higher rate than anyone else in the country. I think it was 31%. It's a really entrepreneurial community up there, there are a lot of angel groups - at least thirty angel groups just in Boston --and you know, there are obviously a lot of woman entrepreneurs up there, too. But we don't have enough data to compare one year to the next, really, to know whether that's going up.
 Janet : Do women have any many chances to meet mentors early on, as men do?
 Stephanie: Well, I do think it's a problem, but what you have to do is go to places that are really focused on supporting women. There are a couple of non-profits that we work with. One is called Springboard Enterprises and the other is called Astia . Both of them provide very good support to women entrepreneurs by introducing them to the venture community and by actually providing them with a coach and a mentor if they are going through their program. And then there's the Women Presidents' Organization (WPO). They are more established businesses, but they are a very good peer-to-peer kind of networking group that does a lot more than mentor networking. You get put into a small group, in your region, of other CEOs. Each month someone brings along a business problem that they've come across that they want help with and then all of the women in their little group will help them work it out.
 So I think you need to look specifically in the places where you will find women. There are other groups like us that focus on women entrepreneurs. One is called Phenomenelle Angels Fund. They're in Wisconsin. And then there's a group called Women Angels , started by Barbara Boxer. They're based in Florida. They're the two that I'm aware of. There is an increasing number of women angel investors. If you can find an investor group with women angels in it, you know, you could always ask them. The best place to find angel groups is AngelCapitalAssociation.org .
 Janet: Are there specific steps people should take before they start looking for funding? What can they do to learn about the whole venture process? Should they look for venture and angel events or meetings in their area?
 Stephanie: Definitely going to those venture capital events is very good because you see other entrepreneurs pitch, whether they're male or female, so you've got to get a sense of what you need to put into your pitch. Also, getting funding is really about building relationships so I think it's best to start building relationships with people who you might think could become an investor in your company. If you have a relationship, then it's much easier to say Okay, I'm ready to take your money now, and so would you be interested? and you're not just asking total strangers. If you're asking total strangers, then they have to go through a process of getting to know you, and it's going to take longer.
 Janet : Can you think of any big mistakes entrepreneurs make in pitches, and business plans? Is there any one or two things that jump out that are like fingernails grating on a chalkboard?
 Stephanie : Well, one of the things that neither venture capitalists nor angels want to do at all is sign an NDA, which is a non-disclosure agreement, because we have to keep everything confidential, and we see so many businesses. I mean we view thousands of business plans so we can'. -It would be a physical and mental impossibility to be able to segment out which ones we had signed a non-disclosure agreement for or not.
 Guy Kawasaki has blogged about NDAs in a way that's very good. He gives the entrepreneur a good idea about why none of us sign NDAs. He also has a blog about ten slides that you need to put into your PowerPoint when you're looking for investment capital.
 One thing that's very important is there are two questions that are always going to be asked by investors. One question is: What's your exit strategy?And an investor would cringe if the entrepreneur says Oh I don't want to sell my business- I'm going to pass it on to my kids. And if that's the case, you can't really ask for investors to put money into your company because it's not clear how they will get it out. There has to be an exit strategy.
 And then another question that's always going to be asked is If things don't work out with you as the CEO, we may need to make a change and how would you feel about that? As an entrepreneur, you have to sort of bite your lip if you don't like the answer but you still have to give the right answer. And the right answer is something like, Of course when the time comes that I am not the right person anymore to be leading this business, all I care about is growing it and I'll be willing to step aside. There might be some other role for me in the company, and if not, I'll move on to do my next start-up. I'll still have my equity and I'll be very interested in seeing how that equity grows and hopefully I'll be a board member or an advisor or something else.
 So that's the correct answer. It's probably very tough for the entrepreneur to give it but any other answer could potentially be a deal killer.
 Janet : How many companies has Golden Seeds invested in and do you have goals for investing in a specific number of companies per year?
 Stephanie : We've invested in thirty-six companies and we've invested over twenty-three million into those companies since 2005. Is there a target? Not really, because you don't want to target doing x number of deals per year in case you just don't see any good deals. You know, you've got to always make sure they're good. We'll probably do somewhere between six and eight new investments this year.
 Janet : And how many plans do you look at a year?
 Stephanie: About three hundred and fifty.
 Janet: I understand you're starting a new fund?
 Stephanie: Yes, we're targeting a minimum of twenty-five million. We're about halfway there.
 Janet: Are you focusing on women investors or any investors?
 Stephanie: Any investors. Actually, interestingly, we've got a lot of guys writing the bigger checks for our fund. So, there are a lot of very good guys around and we love them. We need them. We just really want people who are aligned with our mission to be our investors, so, people who really care about investing with a gender lens, and not only are they investing in a fund that is majority women-owned, but our money is going to women entrepreneurs. There's a social purpose to this that resonates with a lot of people and they're the people we're looking for. They do have to be accredited investors. We're looking for family offices as well and foundations that are interested in supporting women and insuring that women have equal access to capital.
 Janet: Did you have anything else that you'd like to add ?
 Stephanie: I will say that we care a lot about returns, so although we have this social purpose to what we do, the charity stops there and first and foremost, we are totally fixated on providing above market returns. We're not backing [just] all-women teams, we're backing a team that has at least one woman in the management team who has equity. So really what we're banking on is diversity. And we genuinely believe that diversity produces higher returns. There's an increasing body of research that demonstrates that's the case, and the returns that we're already seeing are confirming that this is indeed possible in this early stage investing as well.
 We're really focused on producing above market returns, and the data that we've got - we're returning right now - my personal return, and I can only quote that, is twenty-eight percent per year.
 Janet: So if somebody who's looking for funding wants to get in touch with you, what's the best way?
 Stephanie: An entrepreneur looking for funding should go to our website, http://www.goldenseeds.com , and click the Entrepreneurs tab. It explains what we're looking for, when we're looking to invest and there's an online application. We review every application very carefully because we don't want it to be based on who you know or that you've got to know somebody there to be able to apply. We know that women don't always have the networks to do that, so the application will be looked at on its merits.
 And then for people who are interested in investing, if you click on the Investor tab, there is actually a way to connect with us for investing as well.
 Janet: For entrepreneurs who want to get to know you, to start building those relationships, is there any particular place that they're more likely to find you or somebody from your team and do that?
 Stephanie: Astia and Springboard, probably.

Research Project
Grant-in-Aid for General Scientific Research (C)
Using rabbit antisera against a peptide corresponding to the N-terminus of the TSH receptor, we identified TSH receptor-like immunoreactivity in human peripheral blood, which may contribute to the pathogenesis of Graves' disease. This immunoreactivity may result from the secretion of truncated form of the TSH receptor lacking transmembrane domain. Northern blot analysis of human thyroid tissue identified 1.7kb and 1.3kb variants of TSH receptor, other than full length form that is 4.3kb. We cloned 1.3kb variant of TSH receptor, which is identical to the one reprted by Graves et al. We produced antisera against the unique amino acid sequence at the C-terminus of the variant and established the RIA system. However, we were not able to detect the immunoreactivity of this variant in human peripheral blood nor in the medium of CHO cells expressing this 1.3kb variant. Although we have attempted cloning of 1.7kb variant using thyroid cDNA library, Hunt et al. have just reported the molecular cloning of 1.7kb variant. Confirmation of the 1.7kb variant is in progress in our laboratory. We are also trying to purify TSH receptor-like immunoreactivity in human peripheral blood using purified TSH receptor related peptide antisera.During the period of this research, we reported the clinical usefulness of TSAb measurement using CHO-cells expressing human TSH receptors for the diagnosis and follow up of Graves' disease. We also reported that the antisera against the peptide of N-terminus of extracellular domain of TSH receptor stimulated and the antisera against the peptide of C-terminus inhibited CHO cells expressing human TSH receptors.

"Everybody was saying the Dakar rally doesn´t really start until the second week but in fact the first week through us a lot of curve balls and thousands of kilometres of punishment so that´s not quite true," explained Moscatt.
"But we did begin the second week with the first real dunes of the rally and it took it´s toll straight away. We were a little unfortunate when coming around one of the first blind bends in a soft river bed to find another competitor walking down the track pulling his sand ramps behind, as they had just got their own car out."
"Peter did well to avoid him but it left us know where to go except into the big truck ruts which were just too deep and we were then stuck ourselves!! Anyway that´s the way the luck rolls sometimes and as it was a bad blind spot and with more trucks coming, who don´t like to slow down, we lost quite a bit of time getting out safely," Dale continued explaining, this all taking place on Stage 8, the first after the rest day.
"We soldiered on and passed back most of the guys that had gone by and nailed all the Weigh points and navigation so ended up a better than quite a few who would have spent the night out in the desert. We still managed to move up another position but it will be a tough day today starting behind so many of the big trucks, you really have to see those trucks go to believe it, I´m not even sure how some of them walk with balls like that!!"
By the end of Stage 8 they'd climbed into 32nd overall, and a further place to 31st on the next day's Stage 9, where Peter Jerie takes up the story.
"Toughest stages of the Dakar started yesterday with stage 8 and continued today with stage 9," he said. "Ultimately the conditions were so tough today with 50+ degree temperatures in the soft sandy desert that with so many crews stranded and seeking both physical recovery and medical assistance the Dakar officials had to scramble all of their safety crews meaning today´s stage would finish at CP2."
"Many cars including ourselves had a difficult time on both stages, in one sandy canyon alone we passed approximately 20 cars or trucks all stuck together including one truck tipped on its side, with the trucks and cars now starting together in mixed order the tracks become destroyed very quickly, many bottlenecks with deep ruts are created and those are nearly impossible to get through in cars."
"We have to look all the time for alternative routes to avoid getting stuck in fesh fesh or in unstable soft sand and at the same time keep visual reference of the main track or just find our own way to the next waypoint off piste and this makes travel very slow," Jerie stated.
"We lost about 45 minutes yesterday and 2 hours today getting bogged in areas where tracks in all directions were already badly broken and quite often blocked by other cars or trucks."
"Extreme heat and hard work getting unstuck also meant that we consumed 14 litres of water and had to seek alternative resources from locals and officials along the route. We made it safely back to bivouac on both days and are currently sitting in 31st overall."
On today's 278 kilometre Stage 10 from Belen to La Rioja Jerie and Moscatt dropped back slightly, from 31st to 34th outright, but remain in the fight with three stages to go in the 2016 Dakar.

"The nursing staff and doctors ..."
About: Musgrove Park Hospital Musgrove Park Hospital Taunton TA1 5DA
Posted by george taylor (as ),
What I liked
The nursing staff and doctors were all very kind helpful and efficient. I could not have wished for better nurses or a better doctor who was especially skilled and very kind.
What could be improved
Only thing I missed was being able to watch TV but this was not a real negative on the part of the hospital or staff.
Anything else?

What do you do when you're the leader of a U.S. secessionist movement losing support because you're backed by Russia? If you're California's Louis Marinelli, you give up and decide to settle in Russia.
The Yes California Independence Campaign is not the only secession movement with suspected Kremlin support (Russian backing, like the stars, shines bright deep in the heart of Texas), but it is the one Marinelli championed. But backers of Yes California were put off by its ties to Russia, which seemed especially shady given that Marinelli's physical whereabouts were unclear during the campaign. And so they pulled the proverbial plug. As the Sacramento Bee reported, "Organizers said they want to make a clean break from any push tainted by perceived links to Russian leader Vladimir Putin."
"I have found in Russia a new happiness, a life without the albatross of frustration and resentment towards ones' [sic] homeland, and a future detached from the partisan divisions and animosity that has thus far engulfed my entire adult life," Marinelli wrote in a letter to his supporters on Monday, referring to the Golden State as "occupied California."
In a December interview with Russia's RT, everyone's favorite state-backed news outlet, Marinelli said his strategy was to court countries with U.N. Security Council veto power, namely Russia and China, to recognize the movement even if Washington and its allies rejected it. Russian nationalists, who've made a hobby out of supporting secessionist movements in Europe, were happy to oblige. That month, Marinelli established a makeshift "Embassy of the Independent Republic of California" in Moscow. He's been there ever since, but now wants to make Russia his official home.
"If the people of Russia would be so kind as to welcome me here on a permanent basis, I intend to make Russia my new home," he wrote. No word yet on whether the Kremlin will be so kind.
But fear not, California independence supporters. He said when California gains its independence, he will return "to live once again under our bear flag."
And Ruiz Evans, Yes California's now former vice president, is joining the California Freedom Coalition, another Calexit political group, and hopes to file a new proposal for Californian nationhood by the end of the month — one without any Russian baggage. Evans believes his movement would have more money and backing if people weren't worried about ties to Russia.
Setting Kremlin hijinks aside, the movement still has some numbers issues to sort out. Per state rules, the California Freedom Coalition needs 585,000 signatures to qualify for a ballot measure on independence. Yes California only has 97,463 registered supporters.
While Evans plots another campaign from his new digs, Marinelli will remain the leader of Yes California from, yes, Russia.
"Until then I will continue to serve as the representative of the Republic of California to Russia," he concluded, not clarifying who gave him this authority or what the role would actually entail.

Why is Janet Nguyen So Scared of Gays?
Over the weekend, LGBT folks and their breeder pals celebrated Harvey Milk Day in downtown SanTana with a free fair that was--you know it!--fabulous! It was a positive end to a crappy week that saw various gay rights groups go before the Orange County Board of Supervisors last Monday and ask them to issue a proclamation honoring the slain civil rights martyr. For the second year in a row, the Board didn't do shit.
That's no surprise, given they're all troglodytes. But what was rather vile was to see Supervisor Janet Nguyen walk out during the public comments section by LGBT folks pleading their case--again.
She walked out on them last year, and again this year--why, Janet? Why do LGBT folks bother you so? Afraid they'll bitch you out on your fashion sense, which can be charitably described as Sigourney Weaver in Working Girl meets Ross Dress-for-Less?
The LGBT folks will undoubtedly try again next year to move Orange County into the 20th century by having them issue a proclamation for Harvey Milk Day. With Nguyen facing an easy reelection because Orange County Democratic Party boss Frank Barbaro (who TOTALLY blew me off this past Sunday when greeting my chica haha), let's have a coalition of folks go to that supes' meeting and boo her when she will undoubtedly repeat her act and exit stage PATHETIC.

Biff is an American astronaut from Destroy All Humans! 2.
Biff and his partner Carl we're both American astronauts who worked for NASA (which Pox believed was a delivery service place.) Him and Biff we're to deliver the Vital Strain to Solaris (which unknowingly to them was actually the Blisk Destruction Virus.) Although him and Carl managed to successfully deliver the Vital Strain, the two did not get along well. Biff in particular seemed to be particularly cranky, as he couldn't stand Carl at all, referring to him as "Commander Bigshot." Carl finally got fed up with Biff's mouth, and the two later stormed off after their mission was completed.
- "Oh right, of course, I know! Carl Armstrong, first man on the moon, great American hero! Me? I'm just the pilot..."
- "That's it? One small step for man and one giant leap for mankind? Seven months and that's the best you could come up with?"
- "No I didn't like it! It's CRAP! Where did you find it, the back of a cereal box?'
- "Oh yeah, Commander Bigshot? What are you going to do about it?"
- He is an obvious spoof of Buzz Aldrin.
- Him and Carl's spacesuits are more realistic-looking to real life spacesuits than the Cosmonauts.
- Both him and Carl are one of the few human characters in the series to have never come in close contact with Crypto.

A few Facts: (Not alternative facts or hopefully cherry-picked facts, but actual facts not meant to appeal to any one ideal or persuasion.)
- In 2011, President Obama did enact a policy that seriously limited Iraqi refugees from entering the country. He instructed that all processing of new Iraqi refugees be halted for six months. However, he did not place any holds on current Green Card holders, people with current visas or refugees who had already completed the vetting process. (Jessica McBride, Heavy, Jan. 29, 2017)
- The number of Iraqi refugees that came to the United States between 2010-2012: 2010 – 18,251, 2011 – 6,339, 2012 – 16,369. (State Department Records as reported and linked to by the Washington Post)
- In 2015, President Obama did establish the list of seven countries that are considered "Countries of Concern" with regards to terrorist activities. President Trump used that list in his executive order and banned all "immigrant and nonimmigrant entry into the United States of aliens from countries referred to in section 217(a)(12) of the INA, 8 U.S.C. 1187(a)(12)" In short, those countries are the list of seven.
- President Trump's executive order does include holds on current Green Card holders, people with current visas and refugees who have completed the vetting process but have not yet entered the country. (White House Executive Order, Jan. 27, 2017)
- On January 12, 2017, President Obama ended the longstanding policy of the United States of "wet foot/dry foot" with regard to Cuban refugees. Previous to that change, any Cuban refugee able to make it to dry ground was allowed to stay in the United States and become a citizen without qualifying for humanitarian relief. As part of this change in policy toward Cuba, the US received no concessions from the Cuban government regarding how individuals returned to Cuba would be treated. Under the "wet foot/dry foot" policy, no Cuban refugee was required to undergo a vetting process similar to that of other countries. (Fox News, Obama Announces End To…, Jan. 12, 2017)
- Mr. Trump's executive order places a ban on refugees from Syria entering the country and that ban has no end date.
- In 2017, the United Nations identified 4.86 million Syrian refugees living in Turkey, Lebanon, Egypt, Iraq and Jordan. Of those, about 10% or roughly 480,000 people, are in need of resettlement. (Amnesty International)
- As of November 1, 2016, 13,210 Syrian refugees were relocated to the United States in 2016 alone. That is a 675% increase over 2015. Of those, 99.1% were Muslim (Christian News Service, 13,210 Syrian Refugees So Far…, Nov. 1, 2017)
- High Income countries currently offering no resettlement opportunities to Syrian refugees (As of January 27, 2017): Russia, Singapore, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Bahrain, South Korea, and The United States. (Amnesty International and The White House Executive Order, Jan. 27, 2017)
- Through February 2016, over 470,000 Syrians have died directly or indirectly due to the on-going Civil War. (Syrian Center for Policy Research as report by PBS, A Staggering New Death…, February 11, 2016 )
Not Facts (Otherwise known today as Alternate Facts):
- This is a Muslim Ban – This is in fact, not a Muslim ban. It targets specific countries that are predominately Muslim, but it does not prohibit the movement of Muslims to our country specifically. However, the Administration might understand how people could easily get to that belief due to the fact that Mr. Trump called for a ban on Muslim immigration during the campaign. Nevertheless, any media outlet reporting that this as Muslim ban is being disingenuous and providing "false news."
- This policy "is similar to what President Obama did in 2011 when he banned visas for refugees from Iraq for six months." – This is not really similar to what President Obama did at all. At least not based on the information we have available to us today. In 2011, the Obama administration, in response to the arrest of two Iraqi nationals in Kentucky who were connected to roadside bombs that had been constructed in Iraq in 2005, halted all new visas to Iraqi refugees for six months while they 1) investigated how these individuals had slipped through customs without being flagged and detained, and 2) created more extensive background checks of Iraqi citizens seeking asylum (Washington Post). Thus far, it does not appear the Trump administration acted this past weekend based on any kind of event or evidence that would have prompted this ban. Rather it appears that the Trump administration is seeking to keep a campaign promise. Also, as noted above, the Obama administration policy was much narrower and allowed for those already in the system to be processed. The Trump policy is much broader and does not allow for "pre-existing" factors.
- This is an immigration issue – This is a humanitarian issue, not an immigration issue. To suggest such is probably unfair to the literally millions of immigrants who have gone through the standard process of naturalizing to this country. Furthermore, a nation can't as a general rule just open its borders to everyone without some kind of process for providing legal status to those individuals. However, in times of emergency such as this, many of those provisions are often set aside to provide for the welfare of refugees in a timely manner. But again, that would be due to humanitarian concerns, not immigration concerns.
- This is a terrorism issue – This is a humanitarian issue, not a terrorism issue. To suggest that we should not reach out to the hundreds of thousands who have been displaced and are without basic necessities because one of them might possibly down the road try to kill us is cowardly. Horrifyingly so! Including those who died on 9-11, 3,043 Americans have been killed during terrorist attacks committed on American soil between 2001 and 2014. During that same period, 440,095 American citizens were killed in non-terrorism related gun violence on American soil (CNN). 35,092 American citizens were killed in automobile related deaths on American soil in 2015 alone (NHTSA.gov) It is completely justifiable to suggest that a vetting process be in place to try and protect the citizens of the United States. Prior to January 27, 2017, such a vetting process was in place. In fact, it has been described as the strictest of its kind in our country. Mr. Trump has stated we need to increase that to include an "extreme vetting" process, but has, as of yet, failed to define what that extreme vetting process is above and beyond what we are already doing.
- Christian refugees will get priority over all other faiths – The executive order does not allow for Christianity to be the deciding factor on whether or not a refugee will get priority. However, it does state, "…provided that the religion of the individual is a minority religion in the individual's country of nationality. Where necessary and appropriate, the Secretaries of State and Homeland Security shall recommend legislation to the President that would assist with such prioritization." The problem here is that as near as I can find, no country that is currently exporting a large number of refugees is a predominately Christian nation. Therefore, this misconception could actually be argued as partially true because Christians from these war torn nations will get priority under this executive order. Furthermore, a large number of the nations exporting refugees are predominately Muslim nations and therefore, it can be surmised that Muslims will be denied any such priority.
Now let me finish with a couple more facts of which I will make no commentary except for one final question:
- Jesus said, "As I have loved you, love one another."
- Jesus said, "Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you and persecute you."
- Jesus said, "Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst of me: Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?"
Does our current attitude as a nation toward our Muslim brothers and sisters who have been displaced from their homes through war reflect our declaration that we are country founded on Christian ideals?

The Nissan Murano got a complete redesign for 2009, with a cleaner, sleeker look on the outside (except for the controversial grille), along with a more sophisticated-looking interior. While the look mostly got considerably sleeker and flamboyant, with bulbous fenders and oversize badging, the Murano's grille is, to be kind, controversial, with the very glitzy chrome grille looking like crooked teeth. For 2011, Nissan has toned down the look in front a little bit, by incorporating running lamps and reducing the grille's size. Tail lamps also get a cleaner look.
The Murano's instrument panel has also become a little more distinctive and contained hints of Infiniti vehicles, as well as the brand's Maxima flagship. The center stack of controls has a new two-tiered design, with a screen (nav system or trip computer) up top and audio/climate functions below. In between, it gets a set of menu buttons and a controller for screen-based functions. The gauge cluster is also revamped, replacing a flat set of instruments with a multilayered arrangement of hooded dials.

The objective of the present study was to investigate cloning, expression, and functions of the recombinant protein, Siva1. Siva1 gene was synthesized by RT-PCR from HCT116 cells. Plasmids were cleaved with the restriction endonuclease, BamH1/Sal1 and products were connected to pQE30, which underwent cleavage by BamH1/Sal1. The recombinant plasmid, pQE30-Siva1, was identified after digestion with restriction endonucleases followed by transformation into E. coli M15. Expression of Siva1 was induced by IPTG and identified by SDSPAGE following purification with affinity chromatography. The results showed that size of Siva1 was 12 kDa, consistent with the molecular weight of the His-Siva1 fusion protein. Functional test demonstrated that Siva1 significantly inhibited the invasion and migration of HCT116 cells. It may thus find clinical application for control of cancers.

Objective: To establish a method for determination of three methanesulfonates in SIPI5357 mesylate by GC-MS. Methods: The three methanesulfonates were determined by pre-column derivation technology combined with GC-MS. Results: The resolutions of the three methanesulfonates were greater than 2.0. Linear calibration curves were obtained over the range of 2.0~625.0 ng·mL-1 for all the methanesulfonates(r=0.999 9, n=6). The recoveries were all greater than 99.9% with RSDs less than 3.1%. The detection limits were all lower than 0.375 ng·mL-1. Conclusion: The method was proved to be simple, accurate, rapid, and suitable for determination and quality control of SIPI5357 mesylate.

Chromatographia | Year: 2011
A method was developed to determine vinpocetine and its metabolite, apovincaminic acid, in beagle plasma by LC-MS-MS. After protein precipitation with methanol, the supernatant of the sample was concentrated and injected into an Agilent Zorbax XDB-C18 column. The sample was separated by a mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile and 0.2% formic acid solution, and the reading was determined on an Agilent 6410 Triple Quad Tandem mass spectrometer in multiple reaction monitoring mode with the following transitions: m/z 351.5 → 280.2/266.3 for vinpocetine, 323.2 → 236.1/280.2 for apovincaminic acid, and 411.2 → 191.1 for the internal standard. The intra- and inter-day variances were less than 15% (RSD%), and average recoveries were higher than 80%. The linearity ranges (LR) between 0.1 and 20.0 ng mL-1 for vinpocetine (r 2 = 0.9980) and between 1.0 and 200.0 ng mL -1 for apovincaminic acid (r 2 = 0.9995) were established. In summary, this method is sensitive, specific, and appropriate for in vivo study of various dosage forms of vinpocetine. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.

Cancer Chemotherapy and Pharmacology | Year: 2014
Purpose: Plm60-s is a pegylated liposomal mitoxantrone formulation, in which mitoxantrone was loaded into small unilamellar vesicles (~60 nm) made from solid lipid membrane. This two-arm, dose-escalating phase I study was designed to determine safety and pharmacokinetics of plm60-s, and to compare with those of conventional mitoxantrone injection (c-MI). Methods: Patients received an intravenous infusion of plm60-s at 6, 10, 12, 14, 16 and 18 mg/m2 every 4 weeks. Three or 6 patients were in each group of dose level. If more than one third patients of a group experienced dose-limiting toxicity, dose climbing will stop. The control group of 3 patients received c-MI at 10 mg/m2 every 28 days. Samples for pharmacokinetic studies were collected. The analysis of the safety and tolerability was done according to the record and laboratory examination, etc. Results: Twenty patients were enrolled. One grade 3 leukocytopenia occurred in plm60-s groups. Plm60-s was safer than c-MI at the same dose of 10 mg/m2. Two complete responses and one partial response occurred in plm60-s group. In plasma, plm60-s exhibited sustained release of the content, resulting in the reduced peak concentrations and enhanced AUC of released MIT. Total mitoxantrone was linearly cleared, and mitoxantrone was predominantly in the liposomal encapsulation form. Repeated administration of plm60-s did not affect the clearance kinetics. Conclusions: At a dose of up to 18 mg/m2, plm60-s could be well tolerated and potential efficacy could be observed. The pharmacokinetic profile of plm60-s was remarkably altered. Further investigations are in progression. © 2014 Springer-Verlag.

Third place was Harlan Demsien, with a photo of Badger & Bird, featuring an expertly framed shot of the S.S. Badger, Mariner's Trail eagle sculpture, and the lighthouse in the background.
In the Sports & Recreation category, the first place winner was Relaxation, by Hannah Schweigert, showing a couple relaxing lakeside, with especially artistic finishing touches to the photo. Second place goes to Bill Pohlmann and his photo, Inland Surf, of a kayaker on a rough and rushing river. Third place was also won by Bill Pohlmann, with the photo First Cast, taken on a local pier, featuring several fisherman, hoping to catch a bite.
This final category was People Having Fun. The top photo in this category was by Bill Pohlmann, entitled A Day on the River, featuring a number of kayakers and canoers on a gorgeous day. Second place was taken by Paul Benfield, entitled Point Beach 3, showing three teens resting with their dog near a trailhead sign. Third place went to Bill Pohlmann as well, for the photo Frosty Trail, showing two snowshoers on a well-traveled, snow-covered trail.

Winger wants Coventry move
By Mark Buckingham
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Ritchie Partridge is hoping to clinch a move to Coventry after his release by Liverpool.Ritchie Partridge is hoping to clinch a move to Coventry City following his release by Liverpool.
The winger was axed by Rafa Benitez at the end of the season after failing to convince the Reds boss he is worth a first-team spot at Anfield.
Partridge made just two appearances last term under Benitez - both in the Carling Cup - and he is now looking for a new club.
A trio of Championship clubs are on his trail but the 24-year-old admits his preference is for Coventry ahead of Leeds United and Norwich City.
The former Republic of Ireland Under-21 international spent the bulk of the 2002/03 season on loan with The Sky Blues.
Coventry boss Micky Adams has been in touch regarding signing Partridge and the wide man is anxious for a deal to be struck as the club prepare to move into their new Ricoh Arena stadium.
"Coventry, Norwich and Leeds are interested in me and if I had the choice it would be Coventry," said Partridge.
"I really enjoyed it there when I had a season-long loan."

Gold futures fell in the domestic market on Friday as investors and speculators exited positions in the precious metal tracking a weak trend in the overseas market as faster than expected US economic growth last quarter vindicated the US Federal Reserve's decision to end bond buying while dampening safe haven demand for the bullion, and denting bullion's appeal as an inflation hedge.
Holdings in the SPDR Gold Trust, the biggest bullion-backed exchange traded product fell to a six year low, signaling weak investment demand for the precious metal.
Gold futures for December 2014 contract, at MCX, is trading at Rs. 26,345 per 10 grams, down by 0.97 per cent, after opening at Rs. 26,563, against the previous closing price of Rs 26,603. It touched an intra-day low of Rs 26,335. (At 11:36 AM).

But i guess some players just arent cut out for Major Junior. Hopefully Barzal will sign though so everyone forgets about the dissapointment of Gropp not playing in Seattle.
I actually hope that Barzal goes the NCAA route.
I usually want all of the top Canadian kids to go the CHL route, but I have zero faith in Seattle and don't know if they'd develop him properly.
Of course becoming better starts with better players reporting, but the organization just seems to have no clue.
I haven't seen any confirmation of Barzal wanting to go the NCAA route, only rumblings, but the Coquitlam Express want him:
The club has already hosted two tryout camps, for prospects and bantam-aged players. Calvano said he's made sure that the Western Hockey League's No. 1 overall bantam draft pick, Mathew Barzal, a Coquitlam native, is aware of the club's program.
"I coached Mathew since he was nine years old so I'm hopeful that he'll give us a lot of consideration," noted Calvano.
There's also
this video
from last December that states that he still wasn't sure what route he was going to take.
..and this was in the BC Minor Hockey Player of the Year release:
Off-the-ice, Mathew is enrolled in French Immersion at Dr. Charles Best Secondary (Coquitlam) and has a strong Grade 9 report card, including a 94 per cent final grade in Math. Barzal is fluent in French and often tutors younger students.

(Guy Ritchie, 2008, UK)
Gerard Butler,
Tom Wilkinson, Idris Elba, Mark Strong. 114 mins.
Ritchie never really gets a fair trial, but his detractors could well be disappointed by how un-disappointing this is. Not to say he's got any new ideas, but he has at least got a great cast and plenty of energy. This attempts to update the Lock, Stock… formula with Abramovich-like Russian gangsters and Doherty-like rock stars, but in Ritchie's head it's still clearly 1997 — geezer culture, Cool Britannia, rising property prices. Those were the days, eh?
The Duchess
(Saul Dibb, 2008, UK)
Keira Knightley, Ralph Fiennes, Dominic Cooper. 110 mins.
Another corseted Keira movie. This time she's 18th-century style icon Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire, whose progressive attitudes and overcrowded marriage to a stiff old aristo eagerly invite Diana parallels. Less flattering comparisons spring to mind, though: it's all fatally uninspired and unconvincing.
Bangkok Dangerous
(Oxide Pang, Danny Pang, 2008, US)
Nicolas Cage, Shahkrit Yamnarm. 100mins.
The original focused on a deaf-mute hitman, but no such luck with Cage, who has plenty to say about his intense work/life issues on this fateful Thai assigment. Still, his presence adds curiosity value (and production value) to an otherwise typical Asian action movie.
Disaster Movie
(Jason Friedberg, Aaron Seltzer, 2008, US) Matt Lanter. 85 mins.
In which the Scary/Epic/Date Movie purveyors break through the bottom of the barrel with a noncom spoofing non-disaster movies, including Juno and Sex And The City, even Amy Winehouse is thrown in.
Sweet Land
(Ali Selim, 2005, US)
Elizabeth Reaser, Tim Guinee, Alan Cumming. 111 mins.
A well-crafted, generationspanning immigrant tale that conceals its indie budget well. The main setting is 1920s Minnesota, where a Norwegian bachelor is surprised to find his new mail-order bride is German — not a popular nationality in the village.
El Cantante
(Leon Ichaso, 2006, US)
Jennifer Lopez, Marc Anthony. 106 mins.
The life of salsa king Hector Lavoe is moulded into a standard rags-to-riches-to addiction musician s biopic. Vibrant stage numbers and J-Lo's screen hogging adds some interest, though.
Never Apologise
(Mike E Caplan, 2007, UK)
Malcolm McDowell. 111 mins.
Filmed version of McDowell's one-man show remembering his friend and mentor Lindsay Anderson.
Mera Pind My Home
(Manmohan Singh, 2008, Ind)
Navjot Sidhu.
Musical drama set in a Punjab village, which is transformed by one young man's entrepreneurialism.
