Welcome to the Portsmouth Dermatology Research web page. Here we will introduce you to the department, tell you about our active research program, and explain how you can get involved and find out more.
The centre was purpose built to treat all skin diseases from long term conditions, such as Psoriasis and Eczema, to skin cancers – all of which are continuing to increase in numbers. Treatments we offer vary considerably, from prescription medicines applied regularly to the skin, dressings, day treatments and specialized light therapies given within the department, to tablet medications, the newer biological agents and admission to hospital if required.
However some forms of skin cancers such as basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma require surgical treatments. These range from small biopsies to large excisions and the more complex Mohs micrographic surgery.
Despite the availability of an extensive number of treatment options, many skin conditions still remain a challenge to patients and dermatologists causing distress and understandable frustration for patients.
However, research is a way to improve this and the Portsmouth Dermatology research team are highly committed and enthusiastic in improving and developing new treatments for patients. All dermatology research is very carefully considered to ensure only high quality, ethical research is offered to patients with little potential risk of complications as is possible.
Currently two clinical trials involving new medication for the treatment of Psoriasis and one trial for Basal Cell Carcinomas are in progress.
We are also running three observational studies; one of Hidradenitis Suppurativa and two more for Psoriasis. These are trials observing how routine treatments in common disease are working. They provide vital information on how good new and old treatment options are for patients in the real world.
Our research work ensures Portsmouth Dermatology continues to play an important role in improving the care of patients with skin conditions both now and in the future.
For more information on any research related query, please contact Sonia the dermatology research nurse by calling: 02392 680412
We also encourage you to ask your consultant about research at any appointment you have in the department.

So where are with with the modification…as of right now STUCK…what I mean is simple, Citi sent us a letter stating they can't approve us for a general modification due to our financial documents we'd never be able to re-pay the arrears, which are in the 5-Figures right now…yes we're that far behind guys…and that we can be approved/set-up for a FHA Making Home Affordable something or other, but we're waiting for a letter to arrive for that – when my hubby called last week or the week before about it our "counselor" told us that the letter hadn't even been sent – there was a deadline date of 10-09-14 on the original letter…so where does that leave us? Currently in limbo. I've been looking at rentals in our area, but there's nothing we can reasonably afford that'll accept our animals – and um yeah Giving them up is JUST NOT an Option! We're not that kind of family…we'll keep looking until we find somewhere where we can take them all (all SIX of them!) – the only remotely decent thing I've found is a 4-Bedroom house out in town called Delco, which is about 30-Mins West of where we are currently located and about 45-Mins from where I work…while not ideal, if push came to shove that would be an option…then again I am willing to bet it's been rented by now – so we keep our eyes out and see what life brings our way…
So what else?
Well a thought occurred to me over the weekend, and why I didn't think of this sooner I'll never know – but there's all this news of pushing the minimum wage rate to $15.00/hour – which to me seems a bit extreme, but whatever – it finally dawned on me that $15.00/hour is MY SALARY! So if this minimum wage thing passes I'll basically be making Minimum Wage…uh Hells NO! Ugh seriously need to fix this…YES I've been looking for work…NO I haven't had a single interview…NO I have zero clue why…I am curious though as to what in the world we're being set-up for. My hubby just started working as a groomer (he's still in his 8-Week 100-Dog Training Period) and will be making more money, but why in the world is it that I am "stuck" – I have a few ideas lined up in my head, it's just a matter of making them become reality…so with that I am going to add in the below.
Now for anyone who has stuck around my blogs for any length of time will know that I am a TOTAL sucker for all things Nickelback – and when I heard they were releasing a new album, well you know I have been all over that…however, as per usual Chad's got a message to share be it Political (as is evidenced in the 1st single off the album, Edge of a Revolution) or motivational, as is the case with the below, 'What are You Waiting for?' I hear this and think to myself that it's time to move forward and time to get my arse moving!
So then this all begs the question of Where in the World did things go askew for me??? My financial life has been a royal friggin roller coaster since I moved out of my parents house back in the summer of 2000…what is it that I am missing? I have a wonderful husband whom I adore, two beautiful children and yet we continue to struggle – when are we going to get our release? When are we going to finally be in a settled situation? Ugh frustration is running rampant here, can't you tell?

Favreau, Downey Jr. May Play 'Cowboys and Aliens'
Jon Favreau and Robert Downey Jr. are gearing up to play Cowboys and Aliens.
Favreau is circling to direct the DreamWorks/Universal project, which has had Downey attached since last summer. A summer 2010 production start is being eyed, according to media reports today.
Imagine Entertainment's Brian Grazer and Ron Howard are producing with Steven Spielberg, Platinum Studios CEO Scott Mitchell Rosenberg and Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci.
DreamWorks and Universal will co-finance. Via DreamWorks' exit agreement with Paramount, the latter studio could distribute. As it ramps up production for the next few years' slates, DreamWorks likely would anchor its 2011 summer to Cowboys, the Heat Vision blog suggests.
Kurtzman and Orci are rewriting the script with Lost exec producer Damon Lindelof.
The story is set in the Old West, where cowboys and Native Americans battle in Arizona, until a spaceship crashes and a new enemy equipped with superior technology emerges.
The project is based on the Platinum Studios Comics 2006 graphic novel written by Fred Van Lente and Andrew Foley. Cowboys and Aliens, however, was first acquired by Universal and DreamWorks in 1997 based on a one-sheet of a cowboy and a spaceship. At the time, Steve Oedekerk was aboard to write and direct.
Eventually, the project moved to Columbia Pictures and Escape Artists, and then back to Universal and DreamWorks. The script has been through at least seven writers or writing teams. (Variety has a chart detailing the project's 12-year progression.)
Favreau is currently in post-production on Iron Man 2, slated for a May 2010 release.

This smoothie has no added sugar, and solely 2g of fats (from the protein powder), plus 29g of protein!
Combine the dry components together in one bowl, and the liquid ones in another; combine both well. Then add the dry and liquid components collectively, adding a bit more flour if the dough is simply too wet. Preheat the oven to 330 and let the dough cool within the fridge for quarter-hour. Drop the dough onto a frivolously greased or floured cookie sheet, and bake for eight-10 minutes or until golden brown. Makes 24 small, or 12 giant.
These are great suggestions, Carolyn. I journey eight-9 times a yr stateside on business and already incorporate a few of them. But you've got urged new ideas that I'll definitely observe! NUTS – make a bit Diet Foods pot every morning and nibble on them all through the day. Don't go for unlimited quantities of nuts, they are often excessive in carbs which soon add up. Go for decrease carb nuts corresponding to macadamias, almonds, sunflower and pumpkin seeds. Avoid cashews.
Radishes are about as guilt-free as food can get. Each medium-dimension radish has simply 1 calorie and effectively under half a gram of carb. Nibble on a couple of when the aroma of dinner cooking is getting the very best of you. YES! You can enjoy pizza. Substitute the dough with a cauliflower one or attempt my favourite recipe for low carb pizza. Here is the recipe! What are you Healthy Recipes able to do with low-carb foods? Low-carb recipes include ones that may be made without issues like added sugars, refined grains or artificial sweeteners, resembling protein shakes, smoothies, salads, sluggish cooker recipes, fajitas, burgers or meatballs, and many extra.
Make positive your sweet potato is completely smooth and pureed and cooled earlier than making these cookies. You don't need chunks or bits of potato as a result of it is the smooth potato and starch from the potato that helps to bind these. I used child meals but if you cook it, be sure you both bake or microwave it. Do not steam it, as that will impart too much water in it. Then mash it properly before measuring.
Scoop about 1 Tbsp of tuna onto every cucumber and garnish with additional sriracha and sliced nori (if desired.) Alternatively, if you need it to taste much more like sushi, combine some additional minced nori into the tuna combination. Nutritional information is offered as a courtesy and we strive to keep it as correct as attainable. The calculations are made utilizing the FatSecret app. Net carb count excludes fiber and sugar alcohols, as a result of these don't have an effect on blood sugar in most individuals. We try to be accurate with this information, however please be happy to make your personal calculations. In a small bowl, whisk collectively the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
I'm pretty late on this however I made them this past weekend! They weren't perfect, I need to play around with the measurements more. My mistake was that I didn't see the part the place you blend the oats first to make a flour, so I just put straight up oats in there. I made a giant batch because my bananas were about to spoil (5 of them) so I did 5 medium bananas, 2 cups of oats after which some oat flour (I had each at residence) simply to get the consistency right. I combined that collectively and bought just about the same consistency as making chocolate chip cookies (the 'actual' approach).

Financial Management and Access to Credit
Most of the HiH members who complete the enterprise development module are motivated to start new enterprises or enhance existing ones. A majority of these members however are constrained by lack of capital to start or enhance the enterprises. For some beneficiaries, access to the internal group savings is enough to meet their needs, but the majority will over time need access to additional finance. In an effort to overcome the financial challenge facing its members, HiH identified two approaches through which its members can access credit.
The first approach is the HiH Enterprise Incubation Fund (EIF) which is designed to benefit members who require credit of up to R6, 000 to start or enhance their enterprises. The EIF will serve those group members who are not yet eligible for the more formal credit solutions in the market, given that they have no business track record, no credit history and/or no assets and collateral. The EIF fills a market gap by providing the initial catalytic capital to these beneficiaries provided they have successfully completed the training modules and demonstrated entrepreneurial spirit, trustworthiness, strong work ethic and a sound business plan.
The second approach through which HiH SA facilitates access to credit is through establishment of partnerships with other microfinance providers. This approach is aimed at providing on-going access to credit and credits of larger amounts to members whose financial requirements are more than the R6,000 provided by the EIF. These partnerships provide a transition and exit for members initially supported through the EIFs.
The aim of the HiH SA Financial Management training is to ensure that members understand credit management and other aspects relating to proper accountability and budgeting of their finances.
The two approaches through which HiH SA provides and facilitates credit to its members are discussed in detail here below:
HiH SA Enterprise Incubation Fund (EIF)
The HiH SA Enterprise Incubation Fund (EIF) as explained above is an internal fund designed to stimulate creation of new enterprises or enhancement of existing enterprises for HiH SA members upon completion of enterprise development training. EIF benefits members who require small amounts of loans as start-up capital. The EIF funds revolve and administrative costs will be covered by fees and interest rates charged on loans enabling the EIF to become financially sustainable.
The lending procedures for the EIF adopt the group guarantee methodology whereby members of a group co-guarantee each other. The objective of using this methodology is to ensure high repayment rate. HiH SA members are eligible to apply for the EIF loans for purposes that include:
- Enterprise start-up
- Enterprise development
- Enterprise asset financing
- Agricultural financing
Partnering with existing Microfinance providers
The second approach through which HiH SA provides microfinance services to its members is by fostering partnerships and collaborations with other existing microfinance providers. HiH SA identifies and approaches institutions that have loan products that are suitable and affordable to its members. Upon agreeing on a mutual relationship, HiH SA recommends members for loans to the institutions and subsequently the microfinance institutions refer their clients to HiH SA for any additional training that may be required.

Premises Liability Attorneys
Experienced Tampa Premises Liability Lawyers Hold Property Owners Responsible for Accidents and Injuries
Slip and fall and other accidents due to poorly maintained property can result in serious injuries
When you enter onto the premises of another, you are entitled to expect reasonably safe conditions. This is true whether it is the property of an individual or a business owner. When a property owner fails to adequately maintain their property, they may be liable for injuries resulting from unsafe conditions. Similarly, a property owner must warn others of dangerous conditions existing on their property. Any number of hazardous conditions can give rise to a premises liability dispute:
- Inadequate lighting;
- Unmaintained security features;
- Unsafe building or grounds conditions;
- Unmaintained walkways or steps; or
- Defective on-premises attractions.
Given the array of scenarios in which premises liability accidents can occur, no two cases are identical. It takes a versatile Tampa premises liability attorney to successfully secure recovery in these injury disputes.
A comprehensive understanding of the law sets our Tampa premises liability attorneys apart
Sustaining an injury on another's property does not automatically lead to compensation. There are many factors considered in premises liability litigation, including:
- The purpose
forentering onto another's property;
- The manner in which injuries were sustained;
- The owner's knowledge of the unsafe conditions on the property; and
- The foreseeability of existing dangers.
You can rely on our skilled Tampa premises liability attorneys to aggressively navigate through the complex maze of premises liability law and deliver favorable results for your case. We have a record of premises liability litigation success for clients throughout Tampa Bay.

Trevor Greetham
11th October 2016
It's been a confusing week. Last Wednesday, George Freeman, the Conservative MP who chairs the No. 10 policy board, suggested that the Chancellor would shift policy away from quantitative easing (QE) and towards fiscal spending. However, a couple of days later, Philip Hammond used an interview on the sidelines of International Monetary Fund (IMF) meetings in Washington to dampen expectations of what he called a "fiscal splurge" in his Autumn Statement on 23 November.
Abandoning the target of a budget surplus in 2020 creates some room to ease fiscal policy in the short term, but Hammond said the framework would be used to "respond to the conditions we see in the economy" and there was no guarantee of additional investment spending in November or indeed March next year if the economy performs well.
Businesses have expressed concern that the UK looks set to leave the Single Market without transitional arrangements in place and this will impact investment decisions. Given the long lags involved, we don't think the Chancellor should wait for the economy to weaken to ease policy. He can take advantage of extremely low gilt yields to borrow and spend on productivity enhancing projects, shifting the mix of stimulus away from QE, with its undesirable side effects on pension funds and on the distribution of income. The burden of government debt would still fall over time if nominal growth in the economy outstrips current long-term interest rates, as seems likely.
By lessening the pressure on monetary policy to ease further, a looser fiscal stance could help to support the pound at a time when political risk and capital outflows threaten a period of destabilising weakness. A weak pound is good for exports but it will increase the cost of living and squeeze real incomes.
In the end we expect fiscal ease to come through but there could be further downside to sterling until the policy picture becomes clearer.
The value of investments and the income from them is not guaranteed and may go down as well as up and investors may not get back the amount originally invested. The views expressed are the author's own and do not constitute investment advice.

Halliburton has moved to overthrow the board of their rival Baker Hughes, according to The Wall Street Journal. This comes after talks of merging between the two reportedly hit a snag.
The WSJ notes that Friday was deadline day to nominate directors to Baker Hughes's board. The Journal says "Baker Hughes's directors are all up for election every year, meaning Halliburton could seize control with one fell swoop."
"Baker Hughes is disappointed that Halliburton has chosen to seek to replace the entire Baker Hughes board rather than continue the private discussions between the parties," Baker Hughes CEO Martin Craighead told the Wall Street Journal.
Late Friday, a report from Bloomberg, citing people familiar with the matter, said that merger talks between the two sides have stalled over concerns regarding price and the potential sale of assets.
Bloomberg said the two sides anticipate they would need to sell up to $US10 billion in assets for the deal to receieve regulatory approval.
News of the talks, first reported by The Wall Street Journal on Thursday afternoon, sent Baker Hughes shares sharply higher, and after trading near $US49 on Thursday afternoon, the stock closed Friday's session at $US59.89.
In after hours trade on Friday, Baker Hughes shares were down about 2%. Halliburton shares, meanwhile, were down about 1%.

Empties; return of the empties
Do you get a sense of achievement when you use a product up or are you the type to mourn the item? Doing empties posts has made me realise that I like using up things. Perhaps this is because I feel like I get my true 'monies worth'. Since I started 'project use it up' I have realised that I have so many items to use up that has accumulated due to random hauls. If we get trapped in the house, at least I will have enough body lotion to last me for a year.
Hopefully you will enjoy this little rifle through the contents of my bin; I am shocked how much stuff I have used up since my last empties post. Make yourself comfortable while we talk trash.
Be Barefaced corrective oil
I discovered this oil through a friend on a makeup group, she is a skincare obsessive and recommended it. I had not been using a facial oil since I had used up the Asda Nspa one I featured in my skincare post. This oil cost £12.99 and is available from Amazon or from Be Barefaced website. It is a nourishing and hydrating oil that I love to just both day and night. This oil has helped my skin cope through the beast from the east and all the horrible winter weather. The oil is unscented which is good if you have sensitive skin like I do. I shall be repurchasing this soon.
Superdrug mojito shower gel & Dove orange shower cream
Perhaps this 'project use up' has encouraged me to use things up quicker out of sheer desire to finish them. This is definitely the case with the Dove orange shower cream. Once I had found the Mojito shower gel and made a bulk purchase at Superdrug, I was desperate to use it. The Dove shower cream was nice but I much prefer the Superdrug range as they are all cruelty free. The mojito shower gel smells so nice it made it to my May favourites post.
Argan oil conditioner
I picked this up in home bargains and did not hold out much hope for it but it surprised me. This is used to mix in with my hair dye to help condition it. I also use it to weaken the colour of the hair dye so I can get a more subtle look. This conditioner leaves your hair feeling amazing but that is no doubt due to the amount of silicone contained within the formula. I have recently tried to stay away from products with silicone in but nothing matches the feeling of my hair when it has been covered in a conditioner like this.
NYX micro brow pencil in Ash Brown
This is one of my favourite brow products and the colour match is fantastic for me. Being a person with a cool undertone to their skin I need a brow product that reflects this. The shade Ash brown is perfect, it works well with my complexion, hair colour and natural colour of my eyebrows. This is the third time I have bought this product and I will definitely repurchase it in the future. If you are interested in how I do my brows, you can find a post here.
Primark my perfect colour Foundation in porcelain
This foundation is awesome and I will no doubt repurchase it after I use up my backup. My skin is extremely sensitive and this foundation helps my skin with the added vitamin E. This medium coverage formula can be built up defendant on your preference and I often add more to my cheeks to cover my redness rather than use my concealer. This foundation gives my a flawless base, lasts throughout the day and only cost £2.50.
Rimmel lasting perfection concealer in porcelain
This is such a good concealer and I have repurchased this many times before. I have even featured this on my 5 ride or die products. It works well under my eyes to brighten and hydrate. This concealer is a good shade match for my skin and hides my wrinkles well. I will not, however, purchase this concealer again on account of Rimmel not being cruelty-free. I currently use the Revolution Makeup conceal and define in C1 which, although tends to look cakey if you use too much, can be applied liberally to brighten the most tired eyes.
Gerard cosmetics slay all day setting spray in lavender
The Gerard Slay All Day is another ride or die product. I absolutely love this product, mainly because you can get various different scents. Lavender, to me, is calming and serene and I have enjoyed using it every morning for the past couple of months. This scent of the lavender one is strong and I found that it would linger. I did not mind this too much but after months of using this I became tired of it. This did not happen with the peach scent so I think I shall get that the next time I purchase one. I also want to try the watermelon one but that will have to wait.
Nivea daily essentials night cream
I had bought this because I had purchased a daily facial moisturiser and like it. There are many reasons why I will not repurchase this. The first one is that Nivea are not cruelty-free and I plan to move to more ethical products. Another reason was the way it reacted to my skin; it caused me to break out in spots. To use it up I ended up using it on my neck and décolletage. The final reason was the strong smell that I was not too keen on; this was an overpowering floral scent that I dislike. It reminded me of skincare in the 1980's.
Superdrug Optimum skin renewal serum
This was an impulse buy and one that made me feel indifferent. I bought this while it was on offer to try a skin serum and I am not sure it did anything to improve my skin. This is another product that did not like my sensitive skin and would slightly burn on my cheeks. It was not so bad that I stopped using it on my face but once I bought the Be Barefaced skin serum I moved this serum from the face to the decolletage. This smell of this product was nice, it smelt of crisp apples which was a bonus.
Girls only hair care dry shampoo
This was a pretty average product, it did the job but did not blow my mind away. It does have a very strong smell which my husband found annoying when I would spray my hair in the bathroom at night. I would possibly buy this again but I would be best spending more and buying Batiste instead.
Seventh Heaven coconut face mask.
Another product to add to the avoid list. This mask, when first applied, burned my skin and was very uncomfortable. The mask did make my feel good but I am not certain it was worth the discomfort to use it. I much prefer an overnight mask which I can put on and leave rather than having to sit still with my face caked in mud.
NYX HD setting powder
Do not buy this powder. I had high hopes for this but I was so disappointed for one main reason; flashback. This powder is fine and goes onto the skin nicely but whenever you want to take a picture it is impossible not to look like you have talc under your eyes. If you like your powder to stand out then go ahead and buy this; I will be saving my money and staying clear.
Seventeen Phwaor paint in fair
As this was part of my first project pan, I was delighted to use it all up. This concealer is a super thick and high coverage concealer that also works very well as an eye primer. I loved to use this concealer to calve my eyebrows, it would define them and sharpen them perfectly.
Boots Seventeen Va Va Voom mascara in brown/black
This was a disappointment in so many ways. I had accidentally picked up the brown/black version rather than the fully black shade. This was also a disappointing formula and wand. I did not find it did anything 'special' to my lashes.
This is a great mascara if you want something extremely natural. I feel that this would be still be on the natural side even if I had the black shade. Boots have now started to discontinue its Seventeen brand which is a shame. However after paying £7 for this mascara I can honestly say it is not worth the money. Brands like Essence, Primark and Revolution Makeup do mascaras that are just as or better at a much cheaper price in comparison.
Rimmel scandaleyes eyeliner in purple
This product is being binned rather than it being an empty, it has expired. I got this eyeliner very early on into rediscovering makeup and it has dried out. Having tried numerous times to revive this eyeliner I have had to admit defeat and just get rid of it. This eyeliner was average but I much prefer Essence eyeliners or Nyx eyeliners as they are smoother.
Beauty formulas hand mask
Hand masks are not things I have tried before and the jury is out. I found it quite uncomfortable sitting with my hands in these gloves. The reason for my discomfort might have been because I couldn't do anything with my phone while I had them on or just because they were different. My hands did feel slightly softer but I do not think they were any better than putting lots of hand cream on your hands putting cotton gloves on and then going to sleep.
Avon little black dress perfume
Avon's little black dress is a fantastic perfume that I have really loved using. I liked it so much I put it in my favourite scents post. The citrus notes full me with joy. It is a fantastic spring summer perfume, however, I will not purchase this again. My decision to go cruelty-free has meant many perfumes are now out if the question but it is worth my sacrifice. As I say to Mr T, protecting fluffy bunnies is worth it.
Primark PS Aqualine eyeliner
I recently reviewed this eyeliner and placed it in the average category on the post. I started using it again to finish it off and fell more in love with it. Had I miss judged this eyeliner? This has a great waterproof formula and applies smoothly. The only downside to this eyeliner is the wand is not the finest. I much prefer very fine, flexible tip as opposed to the chunkier one on this liner. I have many of these as back up eyeliners because they are cheap and reliable.
Derma V10 foot masks
When I use a foot mask, I tend to leave it on throughout the evening and put my slippers over them. I enjoyed using these foot masks and will be purchasing them again as they were only a pound each. My feet felt moisturised and softer for a couple of days after so it was worth spending the evening sitting with them on.
Crazy Colour Hair dye in Cylaman and Ruby Rogue
I have been dying my hair using Crazy Colour for nearly a year now and I love the range of colours. I had my hair green first of all and then I moved on to the shade Ruby Rogue which is a dark pink/purple shade. Since then I wanted a lighter shade and experimented with the shade Cylaman. The colour cylaman is a fuchsia pink colour that blinds everyone. I will definitely be wearing these colours again on my hair again.

PRIESTLY RESIDENCE: Model Policy For Use By Parishes
- Prior to a priest permitting a long-term non-cleric resident to stay in our Parish Rectory, the Pastor or Parochial Administrator must notify our Parish Board of Trustees in writing.[1]
- No person may reside or stay overnight at the Parish Rectory if to do so would have the appearance of, or give rise to, scandal under Canon Law.[2]
- Minors, unless they are relatives of one of the assigned residents, are not permitted to stay overnight in the rectory. Minors may never share the same sleeping room with a priest, transitional deacon or seminarian.
- Rectory residents, including assigned clerics, are responsible for paying their share for damage caused by themselves, their pets and visitors.
Definitions. For the purpose of this policy only:
"Rectory" shall mean the parish owned or rented residence designated for occupancy by the pastor or other priests.
"Parish" shall mean the ecclesiastical community of the faithful that is established as a juridic person under the authority of the Archbishop, and which is incorporated as a church corporation under MN Statute §315.15.
"Long-Term" shall mean residents whose stay at the rectory exceeds two weeks.
[1] See Settlement Agreement dated December 12, 2015 between the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis and Ramsey County Attorney. Ramsey County District Court File No.: 62-JV-15-1674; County Attorney File No.: 2138749. "The Archdiocese shall develop a model policy for use by Parishes requiring notification to the board of trustees of a Parish where clergy are permitting long-term residents in rectories. The Archbishop shall request that the Parish board of trustees adopt the model policy."
[2] See 1983 Code of Canon Law, Canon 277.

Since Gov. LePage's first election, Maine Democrats have been throwing from their back foot, unable to out-message or out-maneuver the governor and championing policies that failed to resonate with Maine's working-class voters.
After last November's elections, I noted, "You cannot look at the electoral map without concluding that working-class voters lost faith with Democrats up and down the state, relegating them to the party of Greater Portland, the gold coast and a smattering of inland communities."
But last Thursday the Democrats finally found their footing and powerfully re-inserted themselves into this Legislature's pre-eminent policy debate – tax reform – by offering their aptly named Better Deal for Maine.
I've written favorably about the governor's tax reform proposal in the past, noting, among other things, that it initiated an earnest and overdue dialogue about wholesale tax reform and modernization. I've also critiqued its reliance on sales and, more importantly, property tax increases and the $300 million hole it blows in the state budget when fully implemented.
Democrats and progressive groups also correctly observed that the bulk of the governor's tax relief was directed toward the wealthiest among us, providing more than $10,000 in relief to those earning $400,000 a year, compared with $145 for Mainers earning $40,000.
Yes, the governor admirably proposes to eliminate income taxes for a family of four making less than $48,000 per year, but we can all agree that remaining swath of Maine's middle income families – many of whom struggle daily to make ends meet – are more desperately in need of a tax cut than the top 1 percent.
The Democrats' plan delivers 98 percent of tax relief to the bottom 95 percent of Maine families while putting more money in their pockets than the governor's deal does. The Better Deal for Maine is also balanced, neither leaving a multimillion-dollar budget hole for future Legislatures nor necessitating massive cuts to education and social service programs in the out years.
What's more, the Democrats' proposal isn't just smart policy – it's also smart politics. The gap between rich and poor has grown at a faster rate in the United States than in any other developed country, with the top 1 percent capturing 95 percent of post-recession growth (since 2009), while 90 percent of Americans became poorer.
This issue of income inequality is now such a potent, bipartisan political issue that Republican presidential contenders – from Jeb Bush to Ted Cruz – are deploying populist economic rhetoric nearly identical to that of President Obama and Sen. Elizabeth Warren.
So Republican legislators must decide not only whether they'll move a significant piece of tax reform legislation, but also if they'll prioritize the economic interests of the vast majority of their lower- and middle-class constituents. Given the populist economic messages and policies likely to dominate the 2016 contests, the electoral consequences of that decision could be immense.
The Democrats also shrewdly incorporated – and in some cases improved upon – several of the best elements of the governor's plan, including the elimination of the sales tax exemption on services, the creation a refundable sales tax credit for low-income filers and doubling the homestead exemption for all resident homeowners, rather than simply seniors as LePage proposed.
The Democrats also understood that it's property taxes, not income taxes, that low- and middle-income Mainers feel most acutely. Under LePage's plan, municipalities would lose $250 million in revenue sharing over two years, while also absorbing more education costs. Rather than relying on local taxpayers to make up that difference in higher property taxes, the Democrats' plan actually increases municipal revenue sharing and provides $20 million more in school aid.
But the most politically cunning element of the Better Deal is Democrats' rejection of the governor's plan to raise the sales tax rate from 5.5 percent to 6.5 percent. Raising sales taxes – or any taxes, for that matter – is an anathema to legislative Republicans. And now it's LePage, not Democrats, calling for its increase.
Yes, the Democrats' plan increases revenue in 2016 by $100 million (compared to LePage's $44 million), but they smartly left that money unappropriated and on the bargaining table. That leaves a lot of cushion for striking deals and potentially directing those funds toward Republican priorities.
With two plans now on the table, the Legislature is within striking distance of a historic, bipartisan tax reform deal. Whether they're clever enough to compromise and seize the day is yet to be determined. For his part, the governor will almost certainly try to undermine them at every turn.
The Better Deal for Maine is fiscally sound and politically sophisticated. It's also true to Democrats' core values of protecting the most vulnerable and increasing economic opportunities for the middle class. With it, Democrats are finally back in the game.

GOP gives huge tax breaks to top 1 percent while raising taxes for working Mainers and seniors
By Ramona du Houx
The saga of sorting out the various tax proposals under consideration this year is epic. Yet, simplified, it comes down to two camps with different principles. One wants to strengthen the middleclass, grow jobs, and give a hand up to the working poor. The other wants to give Maine's top 1 percent huge tax breaks. The most recent Republican tax plan increases taxes for working Mainers and seniors while decreasing taxes for the rich. While the Democritic plan lowers property taxes and helps to lower some income taxes.
When Gov. Paul LePage wrote his extreme tax plan into his budget proposal, he made it harder for lawmakers to sort out the actual two-year budget. LePage's tax expenditures and breaks projected into the future, which is something a two-year budget is not designed to do.
Seeing the damaging impact that proposal would have on citizens - as property taxes and sales taxes would certainly rise under LePage's plan - Democrats revised it making sure middleclass workers and the poor would have "a better deal."
In an attempt to sidetrack lawmakers and refocus the media the governor announced his legislation to end income tax. The Tax Committee rejected that.
Then, after months of work from the Appropriations Committee, the place lawmakers form the budget - the governor gives them a makeover of his original tax plan - at the last minute. Keep in mind adjournment of the legislature is in a matter of weeks. If they don't finish the work, taxpayers will have to pay for their extra time. Something LePage, no doubt, could have had in mind as he tried to ramrod his new plan.
LePage's tactics are getting old. Even folks in his party are revolting. The following is what the economist Garrett Martin, of the Maine Center of Economic Policy has to say about their proposal:
Legislative Republicans have released a tax plan that is a bad deal for working Mainers and seniors living on fixed incomes. Based on preliminary analysis the Maine Center for Economic Policy conducted in conjunction with the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy, Mainers with income less than $57,000 will, on average, receive a tax increase under the Republican plan. That means approximately 60 percent of Maine people will get a tax increase on average if the Republican plan passes.
The Republican plan is a bad deal. It prioritizes income tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations at the expense of the rest of us. Future impacts will be even worse as the Republican plan shifts more costs to low- and middle-income property taxpayers and it further compromises the state's capacity to fund our schools, provide for low-income seniors, children, and people with disabilities, and maintain vital public services.
The Republican plan reflects the discredited theory that income tax cuts will put Maine on the path to prosperity. They won't. Maintaining public investments in our schools and communities will. And a robust and progressive state income tax is the foundation of such investments. This will not only help secure funding for public investments beneficial to all Maine families and businesses, it will also create a tax system where what the rich and poor pay in state and local taxes as a share of their income is more fair.
Stay tuned as we release more analysis on the Republican plan. In the meantime, MECEP urges lawmakers on both sides of the aisle to work toward crafting a budget that includes both responsible, fair tax reforms that benefit middle- and low-income families and raises the revenue we need to fund education, health care, and other investments that will improve our economy and create opportunity for all Maine people.

Grievant was employed as a Lieutenant with the City of Waterloo, IA Police Department. Over twenty years he had risen through the ranks and he had a generally clean disciplinary record.
On the night of June 12, 2016, while off duty he was involved in an incident with another driver. The other driver had cut off grievant's vehicle, which his wife was driving. The wife followed the other vehicle into a parking lot and grievant approached the other driver. What followed was disputed, but the other driver sustained mild abrasions from a confrontation. A third driver in the lot called 911 and grievant and his wife departed the scene. Grievant's wife was able to get the license number of the other vehicle.
Two Waterloo police officers responded to the scene, but after learning that their Lieutenant was involved, referred the matter to the County Sheriff's office for further investigation. The subsequent investigation disclosed that grievant had "called the dispatcher three times, not to report the incident but to determine if a call had been made, who was being dispatched to the scene of the incident and the identity of the other driver." Some time later, grievant used his computer access to obtain information on the other driver.
Grievant was charged with assault causing bodily injury, but he was acquitted. Following an internal affairs investigation that had been suspended during the pendency of the criminal proceedings was concluded, the Chief decided grievant should be demoted from the rank of Lieutenant to the rank of police officer with a resulting reduction in salary.
The demotion was grieved and submitted to arbitration before Arbitrator Hugh J Perry. Arbitrator Perry found cause for discipline, but deemed a permanent demotion excessive. He concluded:
The issue that remains is whether the discipline imposed was appropriate and for just cause in light of the facts and the parties' collective bargaining agreement. … The problem with a disciplinary demotion is that it has no term. It could be for a year or a career. What has effectively happened here is the termination of a Lieutenant and his rehire as a Police Officer. I am inclined to agree with the Union that Grievant's chances for advancement or regaining any supervisory role in this department are unlikely. Viewing Grievant's positive 20 year career with the Waterloo Police Department leads me to conclude that a two rank demotion here is too severe under the circumstances. Grievant's past record demonstrates that he undid all of that good work in one incident. If corrective discipline has a place, it is here. Grievant's record demonstrates that he can learn from his mistakes. It also indicates that he can be an effective and able leader and a positive member of the Waterloo Police Department. Rather than a two rank demotion, a more appropriate and effective corrective remedy would be a temporary demotion to a police officer for a period with an appropriate reduction of pay and benefits followed by reinstatement to the rank of Lieutenant.
Accordingly, Arbitrator Perry ordered that grievant's demotion be limited to a one year period followed by his reinstatement to his position as Lieutenant. Arbitrator Perry's award in City of Waterloo and AFSCME Local 1195 can be found here.
Issues arising from disciplinary demotions are also addressed in Disciplinary Demotions- Two Recent Cases and Mayor improperly interfered with discipline of Fire Captain

I am very excited to return to southeast Wisconsin to practice pediatric medicine. I grew up in the Milwaukee area and was fortunate to stay in Wisconsin to attend Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee. Early in medical school I had the opportunity to learn the rewards of pediatric medicine. Kids are fun - they say and do things that make us laugh, but also help us remember our own good times growing up. However, children also go through illnesses and setbacks - it gives me great satisfaction being able to help them and their families get through these tough times.
I believe in empowering children and parents with knowledge, so that growing up and parenting can be as healthy and as enjoyable an experience as possible. I also feel that parents and children should be involved in decisions about their care - questions are encouraged! Pediatric medicine is constantly evolving, requiring that we as providers continue to update our knowledge base and look for ways to improve care for our patients. Preventative medicine, ear/nose/throat infections, and management of ADD/ADHD are specific areas of personal interest, but I find many areas of pediatric medicine intriguing. I am luck to work in an environment that values not only excellence and continued learning, but also best outcomes for all children.
Away from work, I am an avid sports fan - basketball, football, golf, and baseball are my favorite spectator sports. When I'm not rooting for state sports teams, I enjoy golfing, fishing, and watching movies.

Welcome to the first Friday Finds of 2014! Keep visiting the library for new and popular items. We get new books, DVDs, CDs, and more every month. Don't forget to check the OverDrive site to see what new digital materials have been added, too!
READINGAracelli: The Valley of Amazement by Amy Tan
At 589 pages, this book appears daunting, but after the first chapter you will be hooked on the story of Violet, who after some deception, is forced to live as a courtesan in early 20th century Shanghai. Amy Tan's book is full of drama, sprinkled with romance and suspense.
Lisa: The Fault in Our Stars by John Green
Looking for Alaska was one of the first young adult books I read, which really got me hooked on John Green. I was reluctant to read TFIOS because I thought reading about teenagers with terminal cancer was going to make me bawl. It was funny and cute without being sappy, but some aspects were annoying. While I liked the book and would recommend it, it's not my favorite John Green novel. The movie comes out in June!
Also, be on the lookout in February for This Star Won't Go Out: The Life & Words of Esther Grace Earl. John Green dedicated TFIOS to Esther, who passed away in 2010 at the age of 16. Proceeds from the book go to a nonprofit by the same name that Esther's parents started. The foundation assists families struggling through the journey of a child living with cancer. Find out more at tswo.org.
WATCHINGAracelli: Downton Abbey
After what seems like an eternity, the newest season of Downton Abbey has finally returned to PBS. Last Sunday's premiere episode picked up six months later after last season's tragic ending. I do not want to give anything away, so if you have not caught up with the happenings of the Grantham family and their loyal servants, the library has all three seasons available. Also, since Downton Abbey is a British export and the newest season has already aired in England, you can expect to find Season Four at our library by next month.
Lisa: Drinking Buddies
Lisa: Drinking Buddies
After hearing about this movie from the Tasting Table newsletter, I was super excited to check it out from the library. Unfortunately, it was a huge disappointment. I thought there would be more focus on the brewing process or the craft beer industry. It was more about relationships, which would've been fine except this whole movie was unscripted. The improvisation made it feel awkward and boring. Don't waste your time with this movie unless you really want to see that guy from New Girl and Olivia Wilde do some improv while drinking a lot of beer.

Export Processing Zones Authority (EPZA), the National Industrial Training Authority (NITA) and Consultants; Gherzi Consulting Engineers Private Limited in a joint venture with Voyants Solutions Private Limited have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to provide up-to-date relevant training and skills upgrading for EPZ apparel firms aimed at bridging the skills and productivity gaps along the value chain.
New/existing sewing operators, line supervisors and production planners working in the EPZ apparel firms have an opportunity to undergo the training aimed at increasing the productivity of the most dominant sector in the EPZ program.
Speaking during the signing ceremony of the MoU at the Technology Development Center (TDC) in Athi River, Dr. Joseph Kiplagat, Director of Industrial Information and Research at the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Cooperatives commended the institutions for being at the forefront in launching initiatives aimed at improving the apparel sector which is expected to play a big role in delivering the manufacturing component under President Uhuru Kenyatta's Big Four plan for economic development. Using a training curriculum approved by NITA, the apparel manufacturers can tailor-make programmes to suit their operations while new investors setting up within the EPZ framework will get skilled workers from the large pool of the trained workforce.
"This is expected to reduce the turn – around production time as well as provide an assurance to the investor/s of available, skilled labour," noted Mr Laban Onditi, Board Director, EPZA.

A simple calculation accompanied by reasonable refinements leads to a number of approximately two million Esperanto users within the internet community alone, probably significantly more worldwide.

Annie Mabel Kirby (18), of Sacombe, a domestic servant employed by Mrs Lilian Marian Barker, at the Crooked Billet beer house, Musley, Ware, was charged with stealing £1 2s 8d, together with various other articles, from her employer.
Mrs Barker stated that during the past few months she had missed various things, and that during the week ending 29th December 1917 she had missed 24 shillings from the till. The defendant had been with her as a domestic servant for 5 months. On searching the bedroom occupied by the defendant she found, in her box and in the drawers used by her, several towels, two blouses, some ornaments, several tablets of toilet soap, 15s 3d in her coat pocket, 5 shillings and several coppers in a bag, together with a bronze coin that had belonged to her. When she had spoken to the defendant about the missing things, she had admitted taking them. What had raised her suspicions in the first place was that she had found that she was 24 shillings short in the takings of the bar, according to the amount of beer that had been sold during the week. Mrs Barker also said that she had no real desire to press the case.
The defendant said that she was guilty and had admitted it to Mrs Barker who had then recovered all the stolen property.
The defendant was bound over and placed on probation for 2 years.

This was the 1st time that I had been to a bloggers conference of any sort and it was also the 1st year of the Houston Symposium. I really did not know what to expect from this event but I went in ready to absorb any information that would help me develop into a better blogger. When I walked out of the elevator on the 11th floor, I was warmly greeted and told to retrieve my name tag and the name of my table. I was handed a glass of champagne and ushered into the event room. The room was packed with stylishly dress women and I knew I was in the right place. I quickly found my table and I began to introduce myself to the women also seated at my table. There were familiar faces and new ones too. I was so excited to mingle and make new friends.
The panel was women who are fashion bloggers, DIY bloggers and Life Style bloggers. They all told us how they got started as bloggers and the challenges of blogging. Some of the women started blogging from inside a dark place and blogging helped them out, while others starting blogging because they were in new places in their lives (becoming mommies). The one thing that they will had in common was, they shared their lives with the world through blogging.
There were also boutiques that were at the event and they brought some of their stores clothing, jewelry and handbags for anyone to buy. Basically the boutiques came to us instead of us to them. Amongst the boutiques were Langford Market, Em&Lee and Willa, Francesca's, The Impeccable Pig.

If you go outside tonight and gaze up into the sky you won't see the Moon. Bet you weren't expecting me to say that. Tonight is the darkest phase of the Moon cycle. Completely black. An empty blackboard on which you can draw all your amazing wildest dreams on. An empty slate full of promise and hope and the possibility of magic.
New Moons are all about fresh starts- the commencement of a new cycle. This one is flavoured by Pisces and the 12th house. The dreams that inspire you, the things you escape into, the fantasies you hold close, your wildest imagination and what brings you undone. All of this. These themes play out wherever Pisces is in your chart.
In particular, these themes will be relevant at this New Moon wherever 12-16 Pisces falls. My Ascendant is at 16 Pisces, so this is very much a siren call of a New Moon for me: personally, I feel it is about me, but also so very very much about the ways in which I sabotage myself- the people & habits which allow me to come undone…and bad habits are so very very tempting…
Mars, Mercury and Pluto all come into play at this New Moon. Dream your dreams, but also put some oomph behind them. With Pluto and Mars linked by sextile, pretty major results are possible, but only if you make the move yourself- wherever a sextile is active between 2 planets in "feminine" signs, the effort needs to come from within- don't expect the doors to be opened for you. And isn't that what Pisces is about? Everything that is in you can be realised. A Pisces Moon isn't just an excuse to lie around on a lounge and escape with wine macaroni cheese and Vampires Suck (although, that is how I intend to spend the evening with my daughter), it is also about limiltless potential & possibility…if you can get past the fear… Alternatively, there are plenty of creative ways to bring yourself undone, and oh so many wonderful excuses…I should know- i have used most of them myself at one time or another!
