Dane County D.A. to run for Wisconsin attorney general
Democratic Dane County District Attorney Ismael Ozanne is running for attorney general.
Ozanne made the announcement in an email Thursday. His entry into the race sets up a Democratic primary next year as state Rep. Jon Richards, of Milwaukee, has already joined the race.
The seat is open after Republican Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen announced he will not be seeking a third term.
Waukesha County District Attorney Brad Schimel is the only announced Republican candidate.
Ozanne says in his email to supporters that his 13 years' experience as a prosecutor qualifies him for the position. Ozanne was appointed district attorney by Democratic Gov. Jim Doyle in 2010.
Ozanne made headlines in 2011 after he unsuccessfully sued to stop Gov. Scott Walker's collective bargaining restrictions.

Centre History
The hospital was founded in the early twentieth century and over the years has acquired new specialities, becoming a general hospital in the city of Turin. The structure belongs to the religious congregation of the Daughters of Charity. The purpose of the hospital is to assist those who find themselves in poverty or need and suffering. Since 1998, the Medical Oncology division is operational.
Department Profile
Our hospital has a total of 120 hospital beds. The oncology ward has 11 beds, 4 of these beds are permanently devoted to palliative care. In our hospital there are also different active interdisciplinary groups:
- Palliative Care
- Melanoma and Cutaneous tumours
- Tumours of the gastrointestinal tract
- Musculoskeletal tumours and sarcomas (located at another centre)
- Urological Cancers
- Breast tumours
The interdisciplinary groups will generally meet once a week. The palliative care specialist is called to participate if needed. Within the oncology department there is a service centre (CAS) to facilitate the diagnostic and therapeutic path of cancer patients
The palliative care unit is able to provide the positioning of central venous catheters, catheters for epidural pain therapy, indwelling peritoneal catheters, or invasive procedures such as thoracentesis or paracentesis if needed.
The mission and principles that guide daily activities within the hospital are driven by a vision of the world and society based on the principles of ethics and religious congregation that is in fact the cultural identity of Gradenigo.
Areas of Specialisation
The hospital has 16 specialities. Our palliative care units rely on the collaboration of different specialists depending on the needs of the patient, always in line with the concept of multidisciplinary teams.
Palliative and Supportive Care
The agreement between the Gradenigo Hospital and the FARO foundation is based on the involvement of oncology staff, composed of 7 doctors (2 with specific training in palliative care), 15 nurses, a physician experienced in palliative care and 2 psycho-oncologists from FARO. Two secretaries at reception and service centre (CAS) act as a link between everyone. A specific training is devoted to support patients with rare tumours.
The Centre refers to a philosophy of "Simultaneous Care". Patients can be cared for during active treatments through the daily presence of a palliative care specialist within the oncology team. This facilitates the sometimes difficult transition from the phase of cancer treatment to that of palliative care. Later, the patient and his family are taken over completely by the palliative care service through outpatient visits and assistance in DH, as long as possible and useful, and then in home care or hospice care by personnel of the same service operating in different palliative settings.

This isn't a blockbuster post, just a simple story that illustrates how frugality runs through many aspects of our life.
When I was young, my father always had a giant garden. One vegetable that he always grew every year was cucumbers. They always seemed very easy to grow compared to the other vegetables in the garden – they practically grew themselves if you gave them plenty of water and sunshine. Plus, we often ate the cucumbers in various ways as they came to harvest.
Flash forward to my current home, where we've had a garden each year. Cucumbers have always been a staple in our garden, but in previous years, we've had a much wider variety of vegetables and the cucumbers have been relegated to a small spot.
This year, though, the birth of our third child coincided with the key part of planting season, which meant that we focused heavily on the "easy" things in the garden this year. The cucumbers, unsurprisingly, were part of this, so we planted quite a few more cucumber plants than normal.
Of course, they produced like mad, giving us tons of cucumbers to use. We've used them in lots of ways, such as salad toppings and side dishes.
However, our favorite use of them is what we call our "refrigerator dills":
We simply have had plenty of fresh pickles in August and September this year thanks to those easy-to-grow cucumber vines, and the jar depicted above shows one of our recent batches where we used a package of pickling spices. However, our usual recipe is even simpler than that.
All you do is slice up two or three small cucumbers and put them into whatever lidded jar you have available. Put some dill seed and a bit of minced garlic in there, too (a teaspoon or two of each). Then, in a saucepan, boil together 1/2 cup vinegar, 2 cups of water, and 1/2 tablespoon of salt (get it to boiling for about a minute or so). Pour this mix over the cucumbers until the jar is full, put it in the fridge without a lid for a few hours, then put a lid on top of it. That's all – just wait a few days and you'll have tremendous pickles.
This saves us money in a lot of ways.
First, this jar of pickles is fresher, better tasting, and far less expensive than a jar of pickles from the store. The cost of half of a cup of vinegar, half of a tablespoon of salt, and a tiny bit of minced garlic and dill adds up to a few pennies. A jar of good pickles at the store is a few dollars (at least). Our homemade pickles are far fresher and taste better, too.
Second, we're able to effectively use something we have an abundance of – cucumbers. Rather than letting them go to waste, we're simply finding different uses for them. Cucumbers are just the start – we look for other uses for virtually everything in our home.
Third, because we now have a lot of pickles, we consume them instead of other options. We serve them with sandwiches, with chili, and often as an afternoon snack. Our children often take queues from their parents' eating behaviors, so if we eat and enjoy particular foods (and don't give them other options), they'll eat and enjoy them, too.
It also teaches our children a lot about living frugally. They're a part of this, too – they're out in the garden with us, they watch us making the pickles in the kitchen, and they enjoy the product of the process, too.
Frugality isn't something you flip on like a switch, then flip off when you want to be a big spender. It's how you approach life, from the little things to the big.

Hello everyone.
I want You to ask about CentOS excersises.
Do You have any website or any zip file with excersises which will help me be better in this OS?
I mean, that I want to learn something more, than installing Tomcat, httpd, firewalld, or maybe creating LVM.
I bought a course which prepared me to the RHCSA exam, but it's to easy, so i want to learn harder things.
Any help from You will be appreciated.
Thank You All!

As genes encoding cyclin-dependent kinases had been cloned from Schizosaccharomyces pombe, the fission yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisae, the budding yeast, and human cells, investigators working in plant systems designed experiments to determine whether plants also possessed CDKs that functioned as the catalysts for cell cycle progression. To isolate a cDNA encoding a CDK in maize, investigators aligned the predicted amino acid sequences of human cdc2, S. pombe cdc2, and S. cerevisiae cdc28 genes. Degenerate oligonucleotide PCR primers corresponding to the boxed amino acids were generated and a DNA fragment of the expected size was synthesized by PCR using these primers and maize cDNA library as a template.
The PCR product was then used as a probe to screen the maize cDNA library, and a full-length cDNA clone was isolated. The clone was sequenced, and the predicted amino acid sequence was 64% identical to human cdc2 and 63% identical to S. pombe cdc2 and to S. cerevisiae cdc28.
What does the level of sequence similarity suggest about the evolution of cdc2 genes?
You see, that's exactly were will you use the unspecific primers.
Since we don't know the similarities between human and yeast cdcs, it's little hard to make any conclusion, but probably the plant cdc is the most distant one.

What causes sensitive skin?
There are many reasons why a man or a woman may have sensitive skin, meaning skin that is reactive. The following causes are the most frequent.
How to prevent sensitive skin reactions
You can prevent some sensitive skin reactions from occurring by following a simple set of guidelines.
Sensitive skin hair removal services for men and women provided at Dyanna's day spa
The hair removal services we offer at our beauty salon are top notch and we make every effort to ensure that your hair removal experience is safe and as comfortable as possible. The two types of spa services for hair removal we provide include waxing and electrolysis.
Azulene wax is extremely versatile and works on all types of hair – from coarse to light, and on any body part. For those with sensitive skin, or for hair removal in more sensitive areas, Cirepil Blue hard wax might be the better choice for you.
(recommended 5-10 days after Brazilian wax treatment)
Exfoliating is a very important part of skin care as it cleanses the skin by opening up clogged pores, sloughing off dead skin cells, and ridding the skin of ingrown hair. For these reasons, exfoliation goes a long way towards making skin less sensitive and less reactive. We offer many exfoliation treatments at our Manhattan day spa, including special facials, back treatments, and body scrubs.
Precautions for your comfort after a wax treatment

If you are looking for consistent performance to make your complicated applications run smoothly, then what you need is a dedicated server. We are one of the leading dedicated server providers that offers security as well as the required support for the functioning of your website in the most hassle free manner. Our team of knowledgeable experts have the capability of providing the required technical support and that too on time. The dedicated servers will be used most optimally by our team for your benefit to upgrade your web hosting. Browse through our website and choose our services to get the best dedicated servers.
If you look at many different web services, you probably have come across what is known as the dedicated server hosting. If this is the case, you may be wondering if it is a great option. At this point, your first priority is to be able to understand what this kind of service exactly entails. Your website will be hosted on a server that only belongs to you. On the other hand, most of the websites are being hosted on the shared servers.
It is most obvious benefit is the costs reduced drastically, but for some businesses, there are more significant aspects that have to be taken into consideration. For instance, it is in a completely different league when it comes to the performance, storage, memory, and many more. Many bigger sites are specifically finding shared web hosting services are simply not ideal. How would you actually determine if or not the dedicated server in India is the best selection? Consider looking at the quality services of webhostingbingo. They are the reliable hosting services provider all throughout the world, providing Windows VPS hosting and Linux VPS hosting. Their immense service is in USA and India.
One of the best reasons why you might want to consider choosing their services is the maximum performance. The most recognizable advantage of dedicated server Chennai is the outstanding performance. This is specifically significant if you are having a complex website, which will need many processing power. The same principle will apply if you have a website that would attract a massive number of visitors. The best way to make sure that such website runs smoothly is moving away from the shared hosting.

This is a short note to all Plus Edition subscribers:
After procrastinating for far too long, I am moving the Plus Edition subscribers' web site to https://www.eognplus.com. You might want to update your bookmarks.
This replaces the old web site at http://www.eogn.com/wp/.
The old web site needed several software updates to remain operational. In fact, a couple of things broke recently and could not be fixed without significant software updates. I thought about it a bit and decided to move the site to a different hosting service and to install all new software. The end result will hopefully be a more stable web site.
You can take a look right now at the new web site at: https://www.eognplus.com . Your existing username and password should still work the same as always. (And moving usernames and passwords turned out to be a Herculean task!!!)
Only the last two weeks of articles have been moved so far to the new site but the remainder of articles will be moved over the next few days.
Also, there are many broken links. I'll fix those one at a time as I find them.
You will notice the new web site has a totally different "look and feel" from the old one. I am not certain if that will be permanent or if it will be changed to something else. Let's go with it for now until we all gain a bit of experience with it.
In any case, the Plus Edition web site is now at: https://eognplus.com.

A grizzly bear that was part of a monitoring program in Banff National Park has been legally shot and killed by a hunter in British Columbia during this spring's harvest.
The male bear, No. 125, was the second bear tagged and collared in 2012 during the first year of a multi-year project to reduce the number of bear deaths along the railway lines in the mountain parks.
His GPS collar was removed after one season, but the ear tag was still on when he was killed near Golden, B.C., on June 12 — three days before the hunt ended in that area.
Officials with Parks Canada said the bear provided valuable information for its joint project with Canadian Pacific Railway.
"He wasn't actually one of our study bears last year or this year, only in 2012," said Alan Dibb, wildlife specialist with Lake Louise, Yoho and Kootenay national parks. "We have a very, very nice data set from him and his travels in 2012."
Over that winter, the then five-year old bear was well-travelled, extending his range from Banff on to provincial lands just outside of Yoho National Park.
"He made three different one-way trips over the time we had the collar on, between the Upper Bow Valley — near Peyto Lake and Bow Lake — to the Upper Blaeberry," said Dibb. "He traversed the Continental Divide in a place where there's not really a low-elevation path.
"It's very rugged terrain, right at the northern edge of the Wapta Icefield."
He said No. 125 often travelled at high elevations, making him an interesting research bear.
Officials with the B.C. government notified Parks Canada about the harvest of the bear in the Blaeberry Valley area near Golden by a hunter holding a valid permit.
Dibb said he wasn't terribly surprised they've lost one of their former research bears.
"Many of our bears are going to have huge home ranges and extend outside the park," he said. "It has happened before that bears we were familiar with inside our parks were hunted in the hunting season outside."
There are only about 60 grizzly bears in Banff National Park, but Dibb said it's less of a loss to the population because it's a male bear.
"It's always of interest to us," he said. "It's sad to some of our staff when it happens, but not unexpected."
But independent biologists said the loss of the bear shows the challenge of dealing with grizzly bears across multiple jurisdictions.
"We've got a bear that on one side of the border is a threatened species and is protected because of that status and, as soon as it crosses over on to the other side of the border, it can be legally hunted," said Sarah Elmeligi, who is working on a PhD that involves the collared bears in the national parks. "It just highlights the challenge that we have between Alberta and B.C."
B.C. still allows hunting, which has been controversial because some suggest there hasn't been a proper count. Provincial biologists believe there are up to 15,000 bears, while other, independent biologists suggest the numbers are closer to 6,000.
In Alberta, the government suspended its grizzly hunt in 2006 and declared the bears a threatened species in 2010 after a count showed there were only about 700 bears. Some believe the population has grown, but the province is still in the process of updating its grizzly bear recovery strategy.
It's expected to be released sometime this fall.

Every other year a team of geophysicists and weather geeks told the Bloomberg administration about the storm surge that would come and why it would be exceptionally flooding to areas of the city. They explained why protection was necessary while there was still time to do something about it and why it was needed. They used charts and briefs with clear explanations but each time were sent away with nothing done, not one thing accomplished. When Hurricane Sandy came, there was no protection whatsoever.
In the late 60's, the scrubbers being requested of oil industry facilities and other high polluting industries would've cost between $30 and $60 per smokestack and effluent release pipe – but, no – they wouldn't do any of it and hired millions of dollars worth of lawyers, pr firms, lobbyists and "experts" to prevent having to do anything.
In the 70's, it would have cost about $80 each to put that same filter on each stack and about $120 each for the effluent streams. In the 80's, it would've cost about $300 each and $450, respectively. Then in the 90's, it would've been from $600 to $3,000 depending on the system required to be placed, based upon the chemicals being discharged into the air, soil or water by the industry. But, no.
After the year 2000, some of those prices actually went down because of better and cheaper systems and materials with a much better understanding of treating whole systems in a more integrated way – but still, no. All the while, the damage was being done to the environment, to people, to communities and to entire regions of our nation.
And, all the time this damage was continuing to be done to the environment on massive scales across multiple industries, they were spending literally hundreds of millions of dollars on not doing anything. Industries, both individually and collectively as well as their industry associations spent far more on not doing anything or not being required by government to do anything than would've been spent if they had simply done something appropriate about it at any given point.
In some jurisdictions, in some states, EPA standards were applied but in many, many others, they were not. After 9/11 because of demand for filtration systems to prevent possible terrorist attacks or at least ameliorate them, and because the value of our US dollar having changed generally negatively, those 1960's $30 scrubber filters would've cost more like $12,000 – $18,000 each even with the newer materials and methods.
Industries and industry groups spent decades of spending what became billions, maybe even trillions of dollars all told, across all of the polluting industries. These costs for attorneys' fees, fines (occasionally), paying lawyers to appeal the fines till hell freezes over, retaining pr firms, supporting climate denial think tanks, hiring lobbyists and paying lobby firms retainers, supporting PACs, making campaign contributions to anti-EPA and climate denial candidates, and paying "experts" to discredit and decimate the reputations of climate change supporting scientists far exceed the imagination. And, industries supporting those costs spent real money far in excess by many times over what it would've ever cost to have stopped sending pollutants into the air, water, soil and forever altering the environment with it.
Thirty something years too late to fix it and now, they're saying they want to be responsible corporate citizens as politicians they've bought are starting to say we might ought to do something about this. As our weather becomes more extreme by each day forward, as our sea levels rise and flooding entrenches entire areas of our country month after month where it had not been expected but once every hundred years or thousand years, when rains come with twenty inches or more in numbers of hours over a couple days rather than across months or weeks, and as arctic glaciers melt that have been there longer than humanity has existed – yeah, now it becomes a thing. It is too late. We have passed the tipping point and it is way too late to worry about it now.
Tree huggers they laughed and smirked, mocking the shunned hippy folks they thought them to be. But now, as it turns out – trees lower the temperature of the climate by two degrees. And, wouldn't that be handy about now? But the corporate giants of industry cut all the old growth forest and jungles down that they could get their hands on and still to this day, what is left of them are being cut down, clear cut, burned into more carbon in the atmosphere across the globe as if there is not one reason not to do it. And today, see this if nothing else –

Prominent "Opponent" of Offshoring, Isn't
In September 2004, less than three months after its $58 billion acquisition of Bank One, JPMorgan Chase & Co. announced that it would be scrapping a seven-year, $5 billion IT outsourcing contract with IBM Corp. having decided instead to bring the technology back in-house. The reaction from the press was predictable: an explosion of stories declaring the end of outsourcing as we know it. Austin Adams, the new corporate CIO of the now $1.1 trillion JPMorgan Chase, was cast as the protagonist in a battle against the dangerous offshoring craze that has been robbing America of its precious IT jobs. But Adams, as it turns out, is greatly misunderstood. "I am clearly an advocate of offshoring," he says without hesitation.
Adams, a soft-spoken 33-year veteran of the banking industry, believes in using technology as a competitive advantage. In fact, his early career success was built on his ability to integrate bank mergers quicklyhe has been involved in no fewer than 90 mergers over the course of his careerand make the merged entity more competitive through its use of technology. But Adams's decision to rein in outsourcing contractsa move he also made as CIO of Bank Onehas nothing to do with some patriotic ambition to keep tech jobs in the U.S.: By the end of 2005, Adams will preside over roughly 3,000 offshore employees in India who will perform call center, basic operations and accounting functions, and he promises many more to come.
Instead, Adams's penchant for pulling outsourced IT back in-house developed over time, as the banks he worked for gradually merged, creating massive economies of scale, and, now, a $7 billion tech budget at JPMorgan Chase that no outsourcer could match. CIO Insight Executive Editor Dan Briody sat down with Adams in his office in midtown Manhattan to get his thoughts on outsourcing, offshoring and combining two of the world's biggest banks.
CIO INSIGHT: What impact, if any, will offshoring have on our economy?
ADAMS: I am clearly an advocate of offshoring. I just spent a couple of days in Mumbai, India, where we have a large captive site. I'm not the best person to quote the economic impact of offshoring, but I do believe it has been blown out of perspective. I mean, who's the biggest beneficiary in the world of offshoring? It's the U.S.
But the impact it has on us and our industry is that it forces all of us to look at what's the right resource strategy for us. In other words, it's not just about offshoring. We spend a lot of time talking about where the skill sets are domesticallythe people who have experience, the relative cost, the proximity of people being located in Houston or Chicago, Columbus, Ohio or Wilmington, Del., or New York City, wherever it may be. But when you see the attitudes and the ambition and the work ethic of our employees in India, I think that challenges all of us to question whether we are at that standard, and we're not.
Didn't JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon once say he opposed offshoring because "no one ever washes a rented car?"
No, no, he didn't say offshoring. He said outsourcing. Coincidentally, Jamie's in Mumbai this week, and I got e-mails the last couple of nights from him saying that he thinks Mumbai is terrific.
Jamie and I are philosophically aligned. We both believe that outsourcing major parts of mission-critical technology to a third party is not the best solution for a large firm. At Bank One we brought back major outsourcing contracts from AT&T and IBM, and then subsequently did the same thing here. But our captive site in India is not technology development or support. It is, or will be, by the end of this year, roughly 3,000 people doing operational functions, accounting functions, call center, those kinds of things.
Since you brought the $5 billion IBM deal back in-house, people have held you out as a champion of insourcing. Is that inaccurate?
Very much, yeah.
You're not anti-outsourcing?
Not at all.

CCS adapting to COVID-19 realities to support Canadians during and after the pandemic
Stem cell transplant for neuroblastoma
A stem cell transplant is sometimes used to treat neuroblastoma. Stem cells are found in the bone marrow, the bloodstream and umbilical cords. They are basic cells that develop into different types of cells that have different jobs. For example, all our blood cells develop from blood stem cells.
A stem cell transplant is used to replace stem cells when stem cells or the bone marrow are damaged. They can be damaged by disease or destroyed by high doses of chemotherapy or radiation therapy. Your child may be offered high-dose chemotherapy with a stem cell transplant (sometimes called stem cell rescue) to treat neuroblastoma if it:
- is high risk
- has spread to other parts of the body
- has recurred, or come back, after treatment
A stem cell transplant is a complex procedure that must be done in specialized transplant centres or hospitals.
Autologous stem cell transplant
In this type of transplant, the stem cells are taken from the child's own bone marrow or blood and are frozen and stored. After chemotherapy is given, the stem cells are thawed and given back to the child.
The following chemotherapy drugs may be used for high-dose chemotherapy before stem cell transplant:
- busulfan (Busulfex, Myleran) and melphalan (Alkeran, L-PAM)
- carboplatin (Paraplatin, Paraplatin AQ), etoposide (Vepesid, VP-16) and melphalan
Radiation therapy may be given after stem cell transplant. Maintenance therapy with retinoids and immunotherapy is also given for about 6 months after stem cell transplant. These treatments are used to kill any remaining cancer and lower the risk that the cancer will come back, or recur.
Side effects
Side effects can happen with any type of treatment for neuroblastoma, but every child's experience is different.
Side effects can develop any time during, immediately after or a few days or weeks after a stem cell transplant. Sometimes late side effects develop months or years after a stem cell transplant. Most side effects go away on their own or can be treated, but some side effects may last a long time or become permanent.
Side effects of a stem cell transplant will depend mainly on the type of chemotherapy drug or drug combination given, if radiation therapy was given and the child's overall health. Common side effects of a stem cell transplant include:
- infection
- low blood cell counts
- graft-versus-host disease (GVHD)
- digestive system problems
Other side effects can develop months or years after treatment for neuroblastoma. Find out more about late effects for neuroblastoma.
Tell your child's healthcare team if your child has side effects you think might be from a stem cell transplant. The sooner you tell them of any problems, the sooner they can suggest ways to help your child deal with them.
Questions to ask about stem cell transplant
Find out more about stem cell transplant and side effects of stem cell transplant. To make the decisions that are right for you, ask your healthcare team questions about stem cell transplant.
A condition that might happen after a stem cell transplant. Healthy stem cells from a donor (called the graft) attack a recipient's (receiver's) cells (called the host). The graft cells see the host cells as foreign and start to destroy them. Symptoms include jaundice, rash or blisters on the skin, dry mouth or dry eyes.

We're sure that's what newly elected Councilman Steve Levin was hoping for when he was voted into office as David Yassky's replacement in North Brooklyn. Unfortunately for him, there was a big hulking sugar refinery looming on the horizon.
We're talking about the redevelopment of the Domino Sugar Refinery, a massive - and massively contentious - project to turn an industrial-era factory into a new mixed-use development, complete with homes and retail and open space.
The project promises to preserve the structure of the main refinery as a legacy to the waterfront's working past, as well as set aside 30 percent of the proposed housing units as affordable, ten percent more than is usually asked of new developments in the city.
Despite all that, Community Board 1 in its advisory capacity recently voted against the project, arguing that it was too large and didn't adequately address infrastructure needs.
And now freshman council member Steve Levin has done the same.
The Daily News this week reported that the Domino project was dealt a serious blow because the district's City Council representative is against the project, and the other members of the City Council - who ultimately decide the project's fate - generally fall in lock-step with the home member's position. That opinion is naive at best.
Sure, if you are a member with a lot of political capital, say Jimmy Oddo from Staten Island or Peter Vallone, Jr. from Astoria, you might be able to influence a vote. At this point, Levin has about $.23 in political capital. (Although his relationship with Assemblyman and head of the Kings County Democratic Party Vito Lopez might be worth a little something if he felt like cashing it in.) That's not being dismissive of Levin, that's just the way city politics works.
The truth is, the other members fall in line with Speaker Christine Quinn, and Levin has really put himself out on a limb by denouncing Domino, which has the support of the Bloomberg administration. City Hall is sure to exert considerable pressure if it looks like the project might fail.
One doesn't have to look too far back in the past to find a perfect example. When Councilwoman Liz Crowley was first elected to the City Council, she had to deal with a contentious issue in her district. The city proposed building a new school, but the local community board came out hard against the project, and so did Crowley.
She stomped and screamed and held press conferences, but in the end the project passed anyway, primarily because the Bloomberg administration wanted it and Speaker Quinn wasn't about to risk her relationship with the mayor to honor the objections of a council member who had only been in office for a few months.
However, Crowley was able to get the city to make a few concessions that the community was looking for, so in the end she was able to claim a minor victory.
So it will be interesting to see what tact Levin takes going forward. Is he going to take a hard line on the project and make a lot of noise, or is he going to softly object and try to tow a fine line between being on the side of the community and not ruffling too many feathers at City Hall?
Either way, he should have a pretty good idea going in how the vote will play out, and we would have to say that this project is likely a go, despite what The Daily News would have you believe. This administration loves big projects, and Domino is a big project. We don't think it is going to let it go down because a council member with less than a year under his belt has raised some objections. The only question is, will Levin go down guns a-blazin'? However he plays it, it will likely set the tone for his next four years in office.

That's right, kids. This is the one, the only, end-all be-all of R&R threads. You will never see a more in-depth, comprehensive R&R thread ever again (until movie sequels are made), so take advantage and discuss the movie, pros, cons, hidden jokes, characterizations, favorite and least favorite jokes and lines, etc etc etc ETC! This thread will be busy and bumpin' for at least a month I'd wager, so let's get this thing off on the right foot, right now!
For those new to R&R threads, the main rule to remember is NO ATTACKING OTHERS' OPINIONS! I won't enforce the use of spoiler tags in this thread since starting now (the 27th) every Simpson fan has the chance to see the movie. Hell, I'd be surprised if theres anybody in this forum who won't have seen the movie by the end of the weekend, so spoil away. Those of you who are reading this and have not seen the movie yet, your best bet is to get lost now so the movie isn't picked apart to pieces infront of your eyes before you've even seen it. That's all. ENJOY! (and I look forward to posting my initial first viewing review in about 13 hours).

A poster is designed with pixels and light, but a poster is made of paper and ink.
It's easy to forget the differences between the two.
At one conference I was at this year, some of the posters that "popped" used white text on a black background. They tended to have one drawback, though: the text was just a little too thin. It needed to be just a hair thicker.
When you print black text on a white background, the text is going to look ever so slightly larger.
When you print white text on a black background, the text is going to get ever so slightly smaller.
Ink always bleeds into paper. Even with high quality paper and a good printer, it will spread out from where it is placed. The finer the lines, the smaller the text, the more the ink spread comes into play. Failing to take that into account has frustrated type designers trying to capture the feel of classic typefaces.
On a computer screen, putting black text on white background is literally just the inverse of white text on a black background. But white letters emit light, so that if anything, a white letter on a black background will look more luminous on a screen, when ink spread will have the opposite effect when you print the poster.
This is why, as I discussed last time, you would want to have a wide variety of typefaces in your arsenal. For instance, here are some samples of a type called Sense. It comes in seven different weights, and each of those has a corresponding italic version (not shown here):
For a poster, you may want to step up from a regular weight to a medium, particularly if you want to use light text on a dark coloured background.
The other solution, of course, is to make everything on your poster bigger!

Sea-level rise this century may threaten Jamestown in Virginia, the first permanent English settlement in the Americas; the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, which launches all of NASA's human spaceflight missions; and the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse in North Carolina, the tallest brick lighthouse in the United States, a new study finds.
These iconic locales are some of the more than 13,000 archaeological and historical sites on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts of the southeastern United States that rising sea levels will endanger this century, researchers in the new study said.

HÀ NỘI — Street dance fans will have a chance to see impressive moves by dancers from Asian countries at the Việt Nam Youth Theatre on April 22 and 23.
This year's Dance, Dance Asia project includes three dance works, include Black Lip Boyz; Hilatas (The Light That Guides You) and Chairs, created by established and emerging dancers Japanese Munetaka Maki, Fillipino Vince Mendoza and Vietnamese Lion T.
Black Lip Boyz is choreographed by Maki and will be performed by Japanese, Fillipino, Taiwanese and Malaysian dancers. Maki is a dancer, choreographer, musician and leader of the dance group Tokyo Gegegay.
He studied traditional Japanese dance and music from the age of three. At age 19, he beat 30,000 others to win top prize at a singing contest. After coming out, he began to incorporate aspects of gay culture into his work and attract attention from the dance world.
He formed Tokyo Gegegay in 2013. He has performed as Tokyo Gegegay in the Philippines, Thailand, and Tokyo in 2015 for Dance Dance Asia. That year he also became the first street dance artist to receive the Japan Dance Forum Award.
Mendoza choreographed Hilatas and it will be danced by Japanese, Fillipino, Singaporean, Indonesian and Malaysian dancers. Based partly on Mendoza's life, Hilatas conjures up a vision of always looking forward in pursuit of dreams, and never looking back even in the face of adversity. It includes a wide range of dance styles, from street to contemporary and acrobatics.
Mendoza is a dancer, choreographer, and a member of Philippine Allstars. His work includes music videos, commercials and choregographs for Lacoste and Diesel. He participated in Dance Dance Asia in Tokyo in 2015.
"Many stories in the daily life of Hanoians will be told in Chairs. It is very difficult to choreograph a dance performed by dancers from different cultures. It takes about one week for us to understand each other," said choreographer Lion T. Chairs will be performed by Vietnamese, Japanese, Singaporean and Malaysian dancers.
Lion T started dancing hip-hop in 1991 and joined the street dance group Big Toe Crew - Việt Nam's first hip-hop dance group - the following year.
He is currently the leader Big Toe Crew, which comprises some 80 dancers. He has also produced stage shows in Europe and North America. As a solo performer, he appears on television shows and creates his own dance performances.
The long-term dance project has been sponsored since 2015 by the Japan Foundation Asia Centre to support the exchange and collaboration of Asian regional dancers in street dance, including not only hip-hop but a variety of genres such as jazz, contemporary dance, etc.
The dancers will perform at 3pm and 8pm on April 22 and 3pm on April 23 at 11 Ngô Thì Nhậm Street, Hà Nội. — VNS

Since March, when we last handicapped the nation's 36 gubernatorial races, the number of tossups has risen. But overall, Democrats still seem poised to gain a few seats this fall.
In this handicapping, we're shifting the ratings in eight states -- four in Republicans' direction and four toward Democrats. Those states, respectively, are Alabama, Maryland, Massachusetts and New Hampshire, and Arizona, Iowa, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
Our ratings categories are safe Republican, likely Republican, lean Republican, tossup, lean Democratic, likely Democratic and safe Democratic.
Most notably, Iowa and Ohio switched from lean Republican to tossup, placing the total number of tossups at nine.
The tossup category now includes five seats currently held by Republicans, compared to three held by Democrats. (There is one Independent-held tossup seat, which is occupied by Alaska Gov. Bill Walker.) The Republican-held tossup seats are in Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Nevada and Ohio. The Democratic-held tossup seats are in Colorado, Connecticut and Minnesota.
Meanwhile, Arizona's race has also become competitive, shifting from likely Republican to lean Republican.
All told, the number of competitive races -- that is, those labeled lean Republican, tossup or lean Democratic -- has shrunk by two, from 18 at the end of March to 16 today.
Here's the current breakdown of competitive races:
|Lean Republican
|Lean Democratic
The three GOP-held seats that currently lean Democratic are in Illinois, Maine and New Mexico. By contrast, no Democratic-held seat leans Republican.
Overall, the GOP holds a 33-16 edge in gubernatorial offices and will have more seats to defend this year -- 26 to the Democrats' nine.
In a neutral political environment, Democrats should be able to gain up to three governorships. But if the political winds prove to be in the Democrats' favor, their net gain could be as high as five to seven seats. For the first time since 2006, the GOP will control the White House and Congress during a midterm election -- a balance of power that historically helps the party not in office.
For an interactive version of our ratings map, and the latest news in each race, click here.
Shifts Toward Republicans
The key Republican gains since March have been in three solidly blue states that have elected moderate Republican governors: Maryland, Massachusetts and New Hampshire.
In Massachusetts, which we're shifting from likely Republican to safe Republican, Gov. Charlie Baker has a 30-point lead over potential rivals in recent polls.
In New Hampshire, Gov. Chris Sununu is up by about 20 points against Democrats in recent polls. We've shifted this race from lean Republican to likely Republican.
And in Maryland, Democrat Ben Jealous -- the more liberal of the top two finishers in the primary -- won the nomination to face Gov. Larry Hogan. That result, combined with Hogan's strong approval ratings, has led us to move this race from lean Republican to likely Republican.
The final race to move in the Republican direction with this handicapping is Alabama. There, Gov. Kay Ivey won an impressive 56 percent of the vote in a contested primary, avoiding a runoff. That performance led us to shift this race from likely Republican to safe Republican.
Shifts Toward Democrats
For the Democrats, three of the shifts come in states where the party fared poorly in the 2016 presidential race: Iowa, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
In Iowa, there haven't been any recent polls in the gubernatorial race, but in the Democratic primary, Fred Hubbell prevailed in a sizable field with an impressive 56 percent of the vote. And, according to the online publication Morning Consult, President Trump's approval rating -- in a state he won -- has fallen sharply and is now "under water."
In Ohio, Democrat Richard Cordray, the establishment favorite, won the nomination over former U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich. He leads the GOP nominee, Mike DeWine, in two of the three most recent polls. As with Iowa, voters in Ohio have soured on President Trump. He's also under water in approval ratings there, according to Morning Consult.
We're moving both of these states' races from lean Republican to tossup.
Pennsylvania is another state that Trump won but where his popularity has slipped. Gov. Tom Wolf has been up by an average of about 15 points in recent polls against Republican nominee Scott Wagner. We're moving this race from lean Democratic to likely Democratic.
Finally, the first independent poll of the race in Arizona, released in early July, shows Republican Gov. Doug Ducey in a dead heat with two Democratic hopefuls, David Garcia and Steve Farley. We've shifted this race from likely Republican to lean Republican.

Spring Beach Sweep Set for May at Elmer's Island in Louisiana
OutdoorHub 04.30.12
The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries in conjunction with Barataria-Terrebonne National Estuary Program is calling for volunteers for their annual Elmer's Island Beach Sweep on Saturday, May 12. Enjoy a morning on the beach and in the dunes while cleaning up Elmer's Island from 8 a.m. to noon.
Trash is often dumped directly into the Gulf of Mexico by careless recreational and commercial boaters, and is also left on site by beach-goers. This is the third annual event to rid the beach of this unsightly and harmful debris.
The annual beach sweep is made possible by numerous partnerships including the Louisiana Wildlife Federation and The Nature Conservancy and through the sponsorship of Barefoot Wines.
Anyone can participate – individuals, families, schools, youth groups, civic and conservation clubs or businesses. Lunch and all necessary supplies will be provided.
Pre-registration is encouraged, but not required. To register, contact Joe Dantin at (985) 449-4715.
Elmer's Island Refuge is a barrier island located in Jefferson Parish southwest of Grand Isle, bordered by LA 1 and the Gulf of Mexico. The island is well known for excellent fishing opportunities for many popular species such as speckled trout, white trout, flounder, redfish, kingfish, black drum, croaker, Spanish mackerel and many other species that frequent the state's coastal beaches and passes. It also provides non-consumptive outdoor opportunities to observe wading, shore and seabirds as well as coastal marine life.
The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries is charged with managing and protecting Louisiana's abundant natural resources. For more information, visit us at www.wlf.louisiana.govon Facebook at www.facebook.com/ldwffbor follow us on Twitter @LDWF.
BTNEP is one of 28 National Estuary Programs throughout the United States and its territories. The National Estuary Program was established by Congress through section 320 of the Clean Water Act or 1987. The Barataria-Terrebonne estuarine complex became a National Estuary in 1990.

Tapered Universal Conveyor Roller Series 1700KXO
Driven unit handling conveying in the curve section, e.g. of cardboards, containers or tires. Suitable for implementing gravity or driven roller curves. Tight curve radii are possible if tapered elements with a conicity of 2.2° are used.
This roller series has been proven millions of times. Contrary to conventional curve rollers, the elements are secured against shifting. This allows the roller to offer a very high degree of functional dependability.
The use of precision ball bearings, Technopolymer bearing housings and seals result in very quiet running.
The roller excels with a good protection against coarse dirt and dripping water. An integrated groove ensures that water can be rejected.
The tapered elements made of polypropylene distinguish themselves with a low net weight so that good startup properties can be achieved.
Robust tapered elements are abrasion-proof, noise-reducing, impact-resistant and excel through a high weather-resistance.

Risk Factors for Multiple Myeloma
]]>Main Page]]> | Risk Factors | ]]>Reducing Your Risk]]> | ]]>Screening]]> | ]]>Symptoms]]> | ]]>Diagnosis]]> | ]]>Treatment Overview]]> | ]]>Chemotherapy]]> | ]]>Radiation Therapy]]> | ]]>Other Treatments]]> | ]]>Lifestyle Changes]]> | ]]>Managing Side Effects]]> | ]]>Living With Multiple Myeloma]]> | ]]>Talking to Your Doctor]]> | ]]>Resource Guide]]>
A risk factor is something that increases your chances of getting a disease or condition. Most cases of multiple myeloma develop in patients with no risk factors.
The median age patients are diagnosed with myeloma is 65. This disease is rarely found in people younger than 40. The reason is not known. But many cancers are more common in older adults.
Genetic Factors
Multiple myeloma seems to run in some families. However, most patients do not have a family member with the disease.
Environmental Toxins
Exposure to toxins or radiation may increase your risk of multiple myeloma. The cancer is more often found in people who work in the petroleum industry or in agriculture. Working in a nuclear plant or radiology center, where you are exposed to radiation, may also increase the risk.
Medical Conditions
Patients with other plasma cell disease are more likely to develop multiple myeloma. Twenty percent of patients with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance or extramedullary plasmacytoma go on to develop multiple myeloma. ]]>Amyloidosis]]>, another rare disease of the plasma cells, is also associated with myeloma.
Monoclonal gammopathy is a blood disorder. The blood normally contains many different proteins called plasma proteins. One type of protein is called gamma globulin and combines to make antibodies. Normally many different types of gamma globulin are produced to deal with different infections. When most of the protein being produced is one particular form of gamma globulin this is called monoclonal gammopathy.
An extramedullary plasmacytoma is a discrete, solitary mass of plasma cells that grow out of control. In amyloidosis, abnormal proteins accumulate in various organs of the body. These organs, usually heart, muscle, nervous system, and intestines, can malfunction due to the accumulation of proteins.
African Americans are more likely than Caucasians to develop multiple myeloma. The reason is unknown.
