An official English translation of the results is now available here.
As of March 31, 2015, there are 16 more (12 from the first round and 4 from the second round) confirmed cancer cases, all papillary thyroid cancer, and 9 more (2 from the first round and 7 from the second round) newly suspicious cases. The number of confirmed cancer cases now totals 103 (98 from the first round and 5 from the second-round), and 23 more await surgical confirmation. (The number of suspicious/malignant is officially 127, including the single case of post-surgically confirmed benign nodules).
Initial Screening (the first round screening) targeted about 368,000 individuals who were age 18 and younger, residing in Fukushima Prefecture at the time of the Tokyo Electric Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accident on March 11, 2011.
Full-Scale Screening (the second round screening), to be conducted every 2 years until age 20 and every 5 years after age 20, additionally targets those who were born in the first year after the accident, aiming to examine approximately 385,000 individuals in a 2-year period.
Officials are still accepting first-time subjects in the first round screening in an attempt to raise the participation rate, allowing those who haven't yet undergone Initial Screening to participate in it so long as they have not received a notification letter for Full-Scale Screening. As a result, 966 more, or 81.5% of the eligible underwent the primary ultrasound examination, either in Fukushima Prefecture or in other prefectures where they have relocated to. This is 0.3% more than the results released on February 12, 2015, and gave rise to the 2 newly suspicious cases. Although no individual information was released, a comparison of the latest results to the previous results from February 2015 reveals that they are both women, one from Iwaki City and the other from Aizu Wakamatsu City, whose ages were 11 and 18 at the time of the accident, and at least one of the two had a tumor diameter of 45.0 mm.
The second round screening results include a table showing how the test results changed from the Initial Screening to the Full-Scale Screening. The column called "Non-participants" shows 7,072 subjects who never underwent the first-round screening but went through the second-round screening. It seems more logical to include the above 2 cases in the "Non-participants" category of the second-round screening, rather than in the first-round screening.
It is notable that the number of suspicious/malignant cases in the second-round screening nearly doubled, from 8 to 15, in the three months since the February report. The number of subjects participating in the confirmatory examination increased by about 60%, and the number of confirmed results nearly doubled with the number of biopsy increasing by 150%. So it is in a way not surprising the number of suspicious/malignant cases warranting surgical confirmation increased. Moreover, it is a concern that a little over half of those eligible for the confirmatory examination actually were examined, which means the number of suspicious/malignant cases are projected to increase even more as the progress rate of the confirmatory examination increases.
Again the details of the additional 7 cases newly determined to be suspicious/malignant after biopsy are not specified in detail, but comparison with the previous results reveals they include 2 males (ages 12 and 14 at the time of the accident) and 5 females (ages 8, 14, 17, 17 and 18 at the time of the accident). The average tumor diameter for the suspicious/confirmed cases in the second-round decreased slightly from 10.2 mm to 9.1 mm with the maximum diameter remaining the same, suggesting most newly diagnosed cases had tumor diameters on the smaller end. Their first round screening results include 3 cases each of A1 and A2, and a case of B. The places of their residence at the time of the accident include the FY 2011 target municipalities of Minamisoma City and Date City and the FY 2012 target municipalities of Fukushima City (4 cases) and Nihonmatsu City. According to the previous results (Jan 2012, May 2012), most of the Minamisoma City residents had Initial Screening by the end of December 2011, and the Date City residents were screened in Jan-March 2012, whereas Initial Screening began in May 2012 in Fukushima City and in September 2012 in Nihonmatsu City. Although biopsy results were confirmed in these 7 cases sometime between January and March 2015, it is not clear exactly when they underwent the primary examination of the Full-Scale Screening which began in April 2014. Given the limited amount of information, it is not possible to identify where the previously A1 cases lived, who apparently had no ultrasound findings in Initial Screening. It means they likely developed the tumor in a little over 2 years since the last screening, and about 3 years after the accident.
The Interim Summary of the Thyroid Examination Evaluation Subcommittee meeting, held on March 24, 2015, was reviewed during this committee meeting, as the Subcommittee meeting apparently wrapped up its session as of the March meeting at the end of FY 2014*. The Subcommittee came to a conclusion that the current situation where 99 of 112 suspicious/malignant cases had surgeries and 98 were confirmed with thyroid cancer (95 papillary thyroid cancer and 3 poorly differentiated cancer) clearly represents an excess incidence of pediatric thyroid cancer increased over the Japanese prevalence rate by an order of magnitude (At the November 11, 2014 subcommittee meeting, it was described as "61 times"). Amongst several issues addressed, the interim summary states that this increase can be a result of either excess occurrence due to radiation exposure or over-diagnosis, and that there were opinions amongst the subcommittee members that the current scientific knowledge does not completely deny the former, yet the latter was more likely. It goes on to state, "At the current time, it is not possible to conclude if thyroid cancer cases detected during the screening are radiation-induced. The results of the Initial Screening suggest that it is unlikely these cases are the effect of radiation exposure, considering that the exposure dose is far less than the Chernobyl accident and that there have been no cancer cases in children younger than 5 at the time of the accident. However, a long-term, ongoing study is needed in order to evaluate the effect of radiation exposure. Moreover, the early internal exposure dose from radioactive iodine is extremely critical in assessing the effect of the accident. The screening should continue in conjunction with the dose estimation study. "
Meanwhile, attendees and webcast viewers were surprised to find out that Shinichi Suzuki, a Fukushima Medical University thyroid surgeon who was in charge of the Fukushima Thyroid Examination was replaced with Akira Otsuru, an internist and a professor in the Department of Radiation Health Management at Fukushima Medical University. Otsuru, formerly of Nagasaki University, was one of the first to go to Fukushima Prefecture immediately after the accident as a head of the radiation medicine team sent from Nagasaki University. Otsuru was clearly not knowledgeable about surgical details of the cases as Suzuki was, although a lot of details were not released by Suzuki citing patient confidentiality anyway. During the committee meeting as well as the press conference afterwards, Otsuru often did not seem to comprehend questions from other committee members or journalists. There was already an issue of data management and transparency with Suzuki withholding some data from the committee, prioritizing presentations at academic meetings. With the assignment of Otsuru and absence of Suzuki at the committee, there appeared to be a setback of information disclosure and transparency.
A summary of results are provided below for Initial Screening and Full-Scale Screening, followed by unofficial translation of selective tables from the results. All numbers shown below are from the data analysis as of March 31, 2015.

Isuspect that many of you have received a request from an attorney to share in your commission. In most cases, the attorney represents (as counsel) one of the parties to the
transaction, and usually holds a real estate license or is practicing law in a state where attorneys are exempt from license
requirements, but may still receive a brokerage fee. You do not
want to offend, and you do not want to jeopardize the transaction, but you are not happy to see an attorney "
parachuting" into your deal and your commission simply because the
attorney's client is not represented by a broker. You wonder
whether there is a polite, indeed proper, and more importantly,
justifiable way to decline the request.
In many states, members of the bar are either: permitted to
perform licensed services and collect a fee without a license, or
permitted to obtain a broker's or even a managing broker's license without meeting the pre-license education or continuing
education requirements. However, it seems wrong, intuitively,
that an attorney should be permitted to receive compensation
for both real estate and legal services, especially when some of
that compensation comes from your pocket.
My clients have faced this situation more than once, and while
the outcome was appropriate (no commission to the attorney),
how the request was met had a great deal to do with how the
problem was resolved.
In one case, my hard working broker client listed the property,found the buyer, and facilitated negotiations to reach agree-ment on price. Unfortunately, when the buyer's attorney "de-livered" the offer, the attorney had written himself into the con-tract for half of the fee. We all know that the offer had to bedelivered to the Seller, but my client was prepared and warnedthe Seller that he, the listing broker, had earned a full fee. Anacceptance of the offer, as written, could have obligated theSeller to pay an additional 50 percent fee to the attorney/wouldbe Buyer's broker, because the intervening broker might havebecome a third party beneficiary of the PSA. The Seller re-vised the offer by striking all reference to compensation to theBuyer's broker. The Buyer accepted the revised counter-offerand I advised the Buyer's attorney he could not, under the law,claim or receive a commission, citing 225 ILCS 454 20/20(a)( 34) which clearly states that when a broker is also an attorneyand acts as both counsel and broker for either party in the sametransaction, he violates the Illinois Real Estate Broker LicenseAct. I also warned this would-be wearer of two hats that legalrepresentation of a client could also violate the Rules of Pro-fessional Conduct for attorneys in Illinois. An attorney maynot represent a client in a transaction where the attorney hasa financial interest in the outcome, i.e. commission. Lawyersshould be, but are not always aware, that acting as a real estatebroker when also serving as counsel could present a conflictof interest. For example, in Illinois, an attorney representinga client in a transaction where the client's interest, such as theneed to rescind or even breach a purchase and sale agreement,could conflict with the lawyer's personal interest in receivingthe sale commission (see Illinois Rules for Professional Con-duct, 1. 7.(a)( 2)). The attorney could be motivated by his owndesire for a commission in conflict with the client's interests ifthe deal should not, for the client's reasons, proceed to closing.Our would-be claimant was warned, but was not deterred.
As the deal was about to close, the attorney and would-be broker
liened the property (a disaster for him, and he quickly released
the lien) and then he sued the listing broker for 50 percent of the
fee. We successfully defended on all grounds, including license
law, rules of professional conduct, and procuring cause. This
claimant actually referred the closing to his partner claiming he
was "only" the broker. The outcome was just, the claim failed,
with the judge ruling that the 'would be' broker was not procuring cause—but think of all the time and expense created by this
attorney's greed!
In another transaction, I faced similar facts. A Buyer's attorney simply wrote himself into the LOI as the Buyer's broker. I
called him and offered some friendly advice, that he could face
professional complaints – from both our real estate licensing
bureau and the Attorney Registration and Disciplinary commission. This lawyer was actually grateful for the advice, indicating he simply was not aware that his double-dipping was
prohibited by both regulatory authorities. That deal closed
smoothly, my client received the full fee, and the Buyer's attorney actually took me to lunch after the closing.
A recent legal challenge to the Illinois Real Estate Broker License Act prohibition against attorneys acting as both attorneys
and brokers in the same transaction was reported and defeated
in Curielli v. Quinn et al, 2015 IL App (1st) 143511. Both the
trial court and the appellate court ruled that the prohibition was
valid and constitutional, and that lawyer's disciplinary matter
is now back in the hands of the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation.
When you are in a position to warn an attorney of possible
unknowing violation, as opposed to simply saying "No commission for you!" the results are far better for your pending real
estate transaction – and for your client's best interests.

A quick look at the Drake-Santa Cruz first-round game in the NorCal tournament.
Division III
Wednesday: No. 12 Santa Cruz (19-11) at No. 5 Drake (24-6), 7 p.m.
The Pirates will face the Cardinals in the first round after Drake bowed out of the North Coast Section tournament in the semifinals and Santa Cruz fell in the Central Coast Section championship game. Santa Cruz, which finished second during the regular season and in the postseason tournament in the Santa Cruz Coast League, features a balanced offensive attack led by F Thatcher Sammet (13.2 points per game) and G Kaijae Yee-Stephens (10.4 ppg). Though the Cardinals – whose CCS tournament victims included top-seeded St. Ignatius – have some size with 6-foot-8 Kobi Underwood, 6-6 Bruin Pollard, 6-6 Cameron Scholz and 6-5 Spencer Schwartz, they are not a pound-the-ball-inside team. Evidence of that comes from their 469 3-point attempts, of which they made 153. Drake has attempted just 289 threes, making 88. A factor which could work in Drake's favor is the site of the game – the Pirates are 11-0 at home this season.
Coach Doug Donnellan: "(Being a good home team) was our main focus this year, because we were a better road team than we were a home team last year. This year we made a commitment to making Drake a dominant place for us to play. So not only are we undefeated at home, our point differential is plus-16. So it's great that we're playing at home and we're excited about that."

After arriving in Bangkok earlier that day, I thought the best way to get acquainted with the city would be to start with a tuk tuk tour. I stumbled across the Bangkok night time tuk tuk tour ran by Expique and it was exactly what I was hoping for. We met our adorable guide, Nemo, at Krung Thonburi BTS station. She gave us a quick overview of what to expect on the tour, a map of where we were going and then escorted us and the 3 other couples to our neon lit tuk tuks for the night. Riding in them throughout the city felt like real-life Mario Kart!
Khlong San Market
Our first stop was Khlong San Market. We sampled various Thai snacks (dumplins with peanut sauce, fried wontons & Thai pancakes) and walked through the market. I found it interesting how many stalls were selling colored contact lenses and skin bleaching cream. Our guide told us that the lighter your skin is in Thailand, the better. Whiter skin symbolizes more money which also equals less manual labor. And unique features such as blue and green eyes also make you more desirable.
This cat had the right idea. It was HOT and humid! Basically like being home in Atlanta.
Wat Prayoon
We then hopped back in our tuk tuks and drove to Wat Prayoon and stopped along the Chao Phraya River for more snacks! This time we enjoyed cakes with a sweet green icing which we learned was made from Pandan leaves.
Before dinner, we learned the history of the 9 Thai Kings of the Rattanakosin Kingdom (established in 1782) as well as how to say the Thai name for Bangkok. It is the longest name for a capital city in the world and is listed in the Guinness Book of Records. This is the full, ceremonial name of Thailand's capital:
"Krung Thep Mahanakhon Amon Rattanakosin Mahinthara Yuthaya Mahadilok Phop Noppharat Ratchathani Burirom Udomratchaniwet Mahasathan Amon Phiman Awatan Sathit Sakkathattiya Witsanukam Prasit."
I think I'll stick with "Bangkok".
Thip Samai – Pad Thai
Dinner was at Thip Samai which is known for having some of the best Pad Thai in Bangkok. Since we were part of Night Lights tour, we were immediately seated and skipped the queue. And the Pad Thai was fabulous.
Wat Pho
Following dinner, our tuk tuks drove us to Wat Pho, home of the famous reclining Buddha. I was not expecting the complex to be open at night so this was quite the surprise. And to make things even better, there was practically no one else there! Though the temple of the Reclining Buddha is closed at night, it is still an experience to walk through the complex. And great for photography as well.
Pak Klong Talad
Our trusty tuk tuk drivers picked us up again and this time our destination was the Bangkok Flower Market (Pak Klong Talad). It's the largest wholesale flower market in Bangkok and it's open 24/7 though the best time to visit is apparently between 3:00 & 4:00am when deliveries are made. Locals come here to purchase flowers for wedding, religious ceremonies & spirit houses.
Last stop of the night was China Town and a bowl of sticky rice with mangos. YUM!
Night Lights Tuk Tuk Tour
Following the tour, our guide was kind enough to walk us to the nearest metro station and give us directions home. Seeing the sites of Bangkok under the night lights was the perfect way to start our honeymoon trip! We highly recommend Expique and their Bangkok night time tuk tuk tour.

AutoIt is a freeware Microsoft Windows automation language. It was most commonly used to create automation scripts (sometimes called macros) for Microsoft Windows programs. Like other automation programs, AutoIt is best used for highly repetitive activities, such as rolling out a large number of PCs with identical installation instructions. However, with the new releases it has become an extremely flexible and easy to learn language. While it does lack some features that are commonplace for other languages (such as classes and advanced graphics functions), it is quickly becoming a serious contender for other languages.
AutoIt's version 3.1 source code is available for download from its website. The code was developed by a small team with the help of worldwide contributors. AutoIt has extensive third-party support, including help files, examples, support forums, mailing list, editor files, and third-party utilities.
With the release of AutoIt version 3, it is now possible to use it as a BASIC-like programming language. New features include the ability to:
- Communicate via the TCP and UDP protocols in the beta release
- Include files in the compiled file to be extracted when run
- Make GUI interfaces, create message and input boxes.
- Use COM (component object modeling) objects in the beta release.
- Play sounds
- Perform complicated mathematical calculations
- Automate tasks, in ways such as sending key strokes, even to applications and controls.
- Run console applications and access the standard streams in the beta release.
- Call functions in Win32 DLLs in the beta release.
It is available for download along with other beta releases.

Other usesEdit
Although AutoIt is intended as a general purpose scripting and automation language its users always find new ways to make use of it. One of the most popular and unexpected uses of AutoIt is for "botting" in online games. Botting allows the user to run a script which automates some repetative action in the game - usually so the writer can advance in the game more quickly. Use of AutoIt in this way is usually frowned about by the AutoIt community as it can generate bad publicity.

This was the first real MMORPG experience for me, the reason for searching for a free MMORPG was that I was not sure if I would like/have time to play as much as a paid subscription would require me to do, to be able to justify the cost. I did try alot of different games before finally downloading the metin 2 client, the reason why I stayed with this one was that it was easy to understand the interface while it was powerful at the same time. You get missions at the start of the game that help you get used to the controls and help you explore more of the world, while giving some experience points and some ingame currency.
The graphics are very good and can even match several of the games that actually cost money and you dont need the latest graphics board to be able to play the game in a decent resolution either.
The sound effects are pretty basic, but I can honestly say that they are more than enough for a game of this kind anyway. All monsters and player classes do have their own sounds and i suppose the only thing to wish for is that the monsters would actually say the things they show in speech bubbles above their heads 😉
The music is very soothing and have in some way managed to get very nostalgic for me, I used to have it running all the time when I was a low level player just starting the game and now when i pause my mp3 player and actually listen to the game music again I get a very nostalgic feeling of hearing the tunes from the first maps.
The game is free, but you can buy a currency in their "Item shop", this currency you trade for other items that can help enhance your gaming experience. There is absolutely no need to spend money on this game, you can reach high levels without it since no items lock on to any characters, this means that enhanced items can be bought for the in game currency or traded for other items with players.
Items can be upgraded with the "help" of a blacksmith, the items can require different materials to be upgraded together with some ingame currency, this also helps bring the game forward as it gives you goals to obtain to finally be able to try your new shiny sword to the next level. Although a word of warning, the items can break and then you will lose it completely, there are ways to avoid this and you will learn after managing to grasp the more advanced concepts of the game.
The only regret I have after managing to reach level 76 is that I started playing on the United Kingdom server. There are several different servers and the most advanced one is the Korean server since that is where the game is developed, sadly that version is only in korean, so unless you can read that you are pretty much stuck in one of the other versions. The difference between the american version of the game and all the european versions is that the american version is licensed by G4BOX, which means they have access to the source code and can fix bugs and add features themselves. The european versions are run by Gameforge, a company based in Germany which did not license the game and that is why they need to wait for the korean developers to fix the bugs and implement features for them.
I can NOT recommend to anyone to start playing Metin 2 on a server that is run by Gameforge and especially not the United Kingdom server. The item shop prices are much higher on the european servers compared to the american, the american server has a much bigger team ready to help all players and competent developers able to fix bugs and implement new features as soon as they are needed. The american server is far more advanced than any of the european servers as well and that will make the game last much longer than any of the european servers. Remember that you can not transfer your character to any other server.
Another great problem with the United Kingdom server is that the team responsible for supporting the server are corrupt and are using their powers to ban, create items and characters for their friends. The top team members recently fired all other members to make sure their power can not be removed easily.
It is a great game and I am sure you will enjoy playing it.

Do cities and townships have the ability to restrict where caregivers grow medical marijuana?
That's the question the Michigan Supreme Court has decided to take up.
The issue stems from a 2016 incident in Byron Township, just south of Grand Rapids in Kent County.
The township has zoning laws that restrict medical marijuana caregivers to use their homes for their grow operations and prohibits the use of commercial property. The township also requires caregivers to obtain a local permit.
Christie DeReuter, a medical marijuana patient and caregiver registered with the state, had been growing medical marijuana at a commercial facility in the township, according to court documents. The township ordered DeReuter to stop operations in 2016 -- and then both parties sued each other.
In July 2018 the Michigan Court of Appeals upheld a trial court's decision that there is no provision in the Michigan Medical Marihuana Act that would allow a municipality to restrict where caregivers can grow medical marijuana.
"We conclude that the MMMA permits medical use of marijuana, particularly the cultivation of marijuana by registered caregivers, at locations regardless of land use zoning designations as long as the activity occurs within the statutorily specified enclosed, locked facility," the Court of Appeals ruled in July.
Byron Township, the Michigan Townships Association and the Michigan Municipal League have appealed that ruling to the state Supreme Court, which has decided to take the case up.
The Michigan Municipal League is arguing that local governments should be able to reasonably regulate -- even if they can't prohibit -- medical marijuana land uses.
"The voters who approved the MMMA did not clearly intend to immunize medical marijuana patients and caregivers from all local land use laws, and the Court of Appeals' finding of such immunity ignores both that lack of intent and the very concept of local home rule," wrote the lawyers for the Michigan Municipal League in an amicus brief.
Under the Michigan Medical Marihuana Act of 2008, caregivers must be registered with the state, and can provide up to five registered patients with medicine. Caregivers have to be at least 21 years old and cannot have a felony conviction involving illegal drugs or "assaultive" crime, or a felony conviction within the past 10 years.

Mitchell back to Europe as Wallabies squad named
Drew Mitchell has become the latest Europe-based Wallaby to return overseas, not included in the Wallabies squad for the upcoming tour of South Africa and England.
Mitchell has been released from the 30-man squad for the final two Rugby Championship matches against South Africa and Argentina, to return to Toulon and gain some match fitness.
The 32-year-old has featured just once for the Wallabies in 2016, coming off the bench in the Wallabies' Brisbane clash against South Africa, after struggling with a groin injury that kept him out of the final stages of the European season.
Rebels flyer Sefa Naivalu is one step closer to reaching his Wallabies dream, included in the travelling group after becoming eligible for Tests on September 18.
Hooker Tolu Latu is a surprise inclusion in the squad, his first chance at a Wallabies berth under Michael Cheika, after some promising form in the NRC.
Latu comes in for Tatafu Polota-Nau, who has been managing an arm injury for much of the season, and has been rested.
Wallabies coach Michael Cheika said he was giving the backup hooker time to look after his fitness, after battling the niggle all year.
"It is disappointing for Tatafu, who has been one of the most consistent and valued members of our finishers off the bench, he needs time to get his body right and we respect that," he said.
"We're happy with how Drew and Ben are progressing. The best thing for both players is to play some regular rugby to get themselves back to full form and fitness.
"With injury comes opportunity, and this is the opportunity now for Tolu to make his step up to International rugby.
"All our newly capped players this season have taken their chances with both hands and I expect Tolu to do the same, which should give all our fans confidence in the future."
Ben McCalman will also remain at home, after overcoming a broken scapula, with the number eight left to gain some more game time in the NRC with the Perth Spirit, for whom he debuted last weekend.
That leaves Lopeti Timani and Sean McMahon as the main candidates to replace injured backrower David Pocock, who broke his hand against Argentina.
Injured prop Allan Alaalatoa looks a chance to be included in one of the two Tests, returning to the squad after a medial ligament injury suffered in Brisbane.
The 22-year-old missed the Argentina Test and looked doubtful for Pretoria, but will be heading to South Africa on Saturday, along with his Perth replacement, rookie Tom Robertson.
Will Genia is the last European Wallaby standing ahead of the three-week trip and the halfback has been one of the Wallabies' best in the Rugby Championship, after a seven-month layoff.
Reds halfback Nick Frisby has been added to the halfback stocks, looking to add to his two-Test tally, after being left out of the official Rugby Championship squads with Genia's return.
Kyle Godwin, Will Skelton and Toby Smith have also dropped out of the squad that assembled in Perth last week.
The Wallabies head to South Africa on Saturday morning, ahead of their Pretoria Test at 1:05am AEST Sunday October 2.

Black Box Warning Lawyers in Dallas
It is the duty of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to ensure that the products being placed on the American market are safe for consumer use and consumption. They are therefore responsible for everything from food safety to pharmaceutical drugs. One of its main roles is in ensuring that drugs that prescription and over-the-counter drugs are safe enough with limited side effects.
Should a drug be found to have severe and / or life-threatening side effects, the FDA will require that the manufacture place what is known as a boxed warning on the label. This is also referred to as a "black box" warning and is the most severe of the alerts that can be utilized. When drug is required to carry the black box warning, it is a notification that the drug has adverse side effects and to take caution.
Popular Drugs with the Black Box Warning
The FDA has not been shy in slapping drugs with the boxed warning when warranted. Over the years, there have been multiple drugs which have been required to carry the warning - all of which had been tied to adverse and even fatal side effects. Below, we will explain just some of the drugs that have been required to have the warning and the reasoning behind it:
- Antidepressants - All antidepressant drugs (such as Celexa, Paxil, Prozac and Zoloft) are required to carry a black box warning due to their increased risk of suicidal thoughts in teens and children.
- Celebrex - In 2005, Celebrex (a COX-2 painkiller) was required to have the black box warning placed on its labeling due to the increased risk of cardiovascular problems and gastrointestinal bleeding.
- Depo-Provera - Progestogen-only contraceptive Depo-Provera is birth control that works through injections every three months. In 2004, the FDA placed a boxed warning on the drug due to a study that linked long-term usage with the major loss of bone density.
- Warfarin - Used to help treat thrombosis, Warfarin (sold under the brand names of Coumadin, Waran and more) has been the most widely used anticoagulant in the U.S. since its approval in 1954. In 2006, a boxed warning was added due to the risk of patients pleading to death.
- Ritalin - Marketed to help with ADHD, Ritalin has also been used off-label to deal with lethargy, depression and even obesity. In 2006, it was required by the FDA to carry the black box warning due to an increased risk of both cardiovascular problems, as well as psychiatric effects.
- Avandia - In 2008, the FDA required GlaxoSmithKline to have the black box warning placed on their antidiabetic drug, Avandia. The drug, used to treat Type 2 diabetes, had been linked to severe cardiovascular events, such as heart disease, heart attack and stroke.
- Levaquin - The antibiotic of Levaquin (levoflaxacin) is used to help patients who are facing severe bacterial infections. While largely popular, it was required by the FDA in 2011 to carry boxed warnings for its risk of spontaneous tendon ruptures and worsening myasthenia gravis.
- Chantix - Smoking cessation aid Chantix, marketed by Pfizer, was required in 2009 by the FDA to carry a boxed warning due to the increased risk of depression, chance of suicidal thoughts and behaviors, as well as the possibility of suicidal actions.
Unfortunately, just because a drug has been required to carry the black box warning, does not mean that the drug will never be prescribed. For example, after the FDA slapped the warning on Avandia, the drug usage fell 70%. That, however, means that there were 30% who were still using it - which, when millions are using it, is still a significant amount of people who are endangered by the drug. Beyond that, not every physician is going to sit down with you to go over a drug that gets a boxed warning if you have had it prescribed for years.
For this reason, if you have been affected by the taking of dangerous drugs, you should not hesitate to get the involvement of a law firm well-versed in pharmaceutical litigation. For victims of these drugs, as well as those who have lost a loved one, it is highly important to get a knowledgeable Personal Injury lawyer on your side. At Zinda Law Group, we know how difficult it can be to face cases of this nature and are prepared to go the distance in our efforts to thoroughly investigate your case to fight for maximum compensation.

HMRC have announced that the last taskforce focus is going to be on the rag trade in the Midlands, north Wales and the north-west of England. Businesses in manufacturing, wholesale, retail and textile recycling in these areas could have their records checked in the coming months as the department looks to track down tax cheats.
David Gauke, the Exchequer Secretary, explained that those doing wrong will be caught. "It cannot be fair that, while most people are paying the right tax, a tiny minority are not paying what they should. When the vast majority of people play by the rules. We will not tolerate tax evasion and will crack down on the minority who choose to break the rules," he insisted.
While the majority of enterprises will remain unaffected, HMRC believes it can recover £9 million as part of its taskforce scheme.

There's been a shakeup in the ownership structure of trans-Tasman pipfruit breeding programme Prevar.
Established in 2005, the highly successful programme – which has delivered brands such as PiqaBoo, Rockit, and Smitten to market – has been supported by investments from peak body New Zealand Apples and Pears, along with Plant & Food Research. Australian growers and the Australian government have also invested A$11m in Prevar through Apple and Pear Australia (APAL) and Hort Innovation (along with its predecessor Horticulture Australia Limited).
However, from this year onwards, APAL and Hort Innovation will cease their funding. Under a new structure, APAL will retain a 16 per cent shareholding in Prevar (down from 45 per cent).
APAL will continue to receive a proportion of royalties generated from any new Prevar cultivars that are commercialised globally. It will also retain the exclusive commercialisation rights to any cultivars released in Australia until 2038.
"The new arrangement ensures we receive a return on our industry's historical investment, secure a competitive advantage for Australian industry, and continue to participate without the necessary ongoing investment obligations," APAL chief executive, Phil Turnbull, said in a release on the APAL website.
Any dividends generated by Prevar will flow back into the Hort Innovation Apple and Pear Fund for re-investment in industry research and development.
"Securing benefits for Australian growers has been paramount in this new Prevar arrangement, in recognition of the A$11m invested to date," said Hort Innovation CEO Matt Brand. "We can now also look to other investment priorities for the Apple and Pear Fund."
Prevar's chair, Jim Mclean, said the programme had benefited immensely from trans-Tasman cooperation. He said Prevar would continue to consult with the Australian industry to "accelerate and improve outcomes."

Wolf Popper Files Class Action Against Walgreens for Selling Fake Glucosamine Sulfate
Wolf Popper LLP has filed a class action complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York on behalf of purchasers of Finest Nutrition brand Glucosamine Sulfate. Walgreens sells its Finest Nutrition brand Glucosamine Sulfate dietary supplements to consumers with the simple promise that it contains what the label says it contains—1000mg of Glucosamine Sulfate per serving. This appeals to consumers because the majority of the medical research into the benefits of glucosamine has shown the impact of using Glucosamine Sulfate on osteoarthritis and other ailments instead of the other available forms of glucosamine.
Unknown to consumers, however, laboratory tests show that the supplements actually don't contain any Glucosamine Sulfate at all, and instead are filled with Glucosamine Hydrochloride, which has not been shown to have the same positive effects as Glucosamine Sulfate.

Toyohiro: Ladies with a sword and a naginata
Move your mouse over image or click to enlarge
Utagawa Toyohiro (1773-1828)
Two elegant ladies and a girl walking past a pine tree. The sword and the covered naginata, which they carry, could indicate that the scene is was parody (mitate) of a daimyo's traveling escort.
Signature: Toyohiro ga
Censor: Kiwame
Publisher: Nishimuraya Yohachi (Eijudô), Edo
Date: c. 1801-05
Format: Vertical Oban, 37 x 23,5 cm
Fine impression, the colours partly faded, but still good. Age patina with a little soiling and minimal creasing traces, two small restored areas in the kimono seam at lower right. Unbacked. Still very good overall condition.
From a so far unidentified multi-sheet composition (probably triptych), the other sheets not known. For this print see Harvard Art Museums/Arthur M. Sackler Museum, ex Denman Waldo Ross Coll., No. 1928.99.
Toyohiro is particularly praised for his aristocratic depictions of women, often reminiscent of Utamaro in their elegance. He created some stylistically similar triptychs, to be seen in the collection of the MFA Boston, among them one published by the same publisher (No. 06.706-8, also ex Coll. Denman Waldo Ross).

Federal Contractors: ACA Mandated Group Health Plan Coverage May Not Qualify as Fringe Benefits under Service Contract Act
The Employer Shared Responsibility provision of the Affordable Care Act ("ACA") requires large employers (i.e., those employing at least 50 full-time and full-time equivalent employees) to offer group health plan coverage to their full-time employees. As many federal contractors know, the McNamara-O'Hara Service Contract Act (the "Service Contract Act" or "SCA") requires federal contractors to pay prevailing wage rates and fringe benefits to service employees employed on contracts to provide services to the federal government.
Contractors (and subcontractors) subject to the SCA typically have the right to choose how they satisfy the fringe benefit requirements. The contractor may choose to provide bona fide fringe benefits in kind, e.g., group health benefits, additional sick leave days, or pension/retirement benefits. Alternatively, contractors may discharge their fringe benefit obligations through payment of additional cash wages "in lieu of" benefits. Yet, fringe benefit payments required by Federal or state law ("mandated benefits") may not be used to satisfy the employer's fringe benefit obligations.
The question for contractors, then, is whether the "mandated benefits" exception applies to the ACA's Employer Shared Responsibility requirements, such that group health plan coverage provided to employees would not count toward the fringe benefit obligation. Although the U.S. Department of Labor has not decided this particular issue, it had previously determined that employer contributions that are made to satisfy the employers' obligations under the Hawaii-mandated prepaid Health Care Act may not be credited toward meeting the contractor's obligations under SCA. Thus, following this earlier logic, the DOL is likely to conclude that a large employer's obligation to provide group health insurance coverage under the ACA would not count toward the SCA's fringe benefit requirements.

Working with Oxfam
Success in business comes with a responsibility to help the less fortunate at home and abroad. Ahmad Tea is proud to offer assistance through charitable work. This includes issues related to healthcare, education, the environment, and more. Partnering with Oxfam, we recently completed a three-year project in Niger to help a community there gain better access to clean water.
Rebuilding water-holes & educating local authorities
To anyone living in a developed country, the idea of not being able drink or bathe in fresh water is almost inconceivable. Those living in the Ouallam district, Niger, however, faced this challenge daily. To remedy this, we set out to rebuild existing water holes. We also educated local authorities on new methods for managing their water systems. Many of the key targets set out at the start of the project were met. A massive success!
Improving access to clean water
A primary goal was to provide access to a water point within 1km and one-hour travel time. We achieved 100% success across the community including the repair of all breakdowns in infrastructure. Previously, fewer than 60% of residents had access to clean water, now 83% do, surpassing our goal of 80%.
Helping agriculture
Agriculture is a vital component of the people's livelihood here. Without fresh water, they cannot grow crops to sustain a living. With a target of 100% of all farmers to have a working water management system we reached 90%. There is still work to be done here but the increase in available irrigation is already positively affecting many farmers' lives.
Striving for self-suffiency
Our aim to build resilience and self-sufficiency to 20 communities, containing almost 20,000 people, has concluded with an incredible success. Now children can go to school clean with fresh water to drink while farmers grow and sell crops to support their families. The lessons learned here will also continue to reverberate throughout the country, as more communities benefit from our work. This promises a brighter future for Niger.

The administrative arm of Her Majesty's Prison Grenada's main penitentiary, on Wednesday benefited from a special gift from the People's Republic of China, through the embassy in Grenada.
Five Lenovo desk top computers valued at just over fourteen thousand Eastern Caribbean Dollars were handed over to the prisons, during a special ceremony held at the Chinese Embassy and attended by senior officials from Her Majesty's Prison's, staff of the Embassy and Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Making the presentation on behalf of the People's Republic of China was Chinese Ambassador to Grenada His Excellency Dr. Zhao Yongchen.
Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Selma Bagwan Logie accepted the gift on behalf of the Government and People of Grenada before handing over it to Acting Commissioner of Prison, John Mitchell who was also present at the function.
In making the presentation, Ambassador Zhao said it is their hope that the computers would go towards assisting the prison and the Royal Grenada Police Force in improving their law enforcement capabilities in Grenada. He noted that over the years Grenada and China have enjoyed excellent bilateral relations and therefore it's just one of the many ways of expressing their appreciation.
In accepting the gift, PS Logie said given the urgency to strengthen the IT departments with the Ministry of National Security including the prison, the computers would go a long way in complimenting that drive. The five computers she said would also assist the prison in strengthening its information integration network.
Logie noted that lots of the information in the past would have been recorded manually. However, she added that with the availability of the computer, this would be a thing of the past and lot more would be done.
Logie added that the IT department of he Ministry of Information would ensure the necessary training is undertaken thus ensuring that users of the computers are fully trained to do so.
Meanwhile, having presented the computer, a memorandum of understanding formalizing the exchange between the Chinese Embassy and Her Majesty's Prison was also signed and doing the honors on behalf the embassy was Counsellor Yang Shijun, while Acting Commissioner John Mitchell signed on behalf of the prison.

Danish Kaneria fails to overturn his life ban from cricket
- From the section Cricket
Pakistan leg-spinner Danish Kaneria has failed in his appeal against a life ban imposed by the ECB for corruption.
Kaneria, 32, was banned by a disciplinary panel in June 2012 for spot-fixing while playing for Essex.
He was found guilty of "cajoling and pressurising" team-mate Mervyn Westfield into accepting cash to concede a number of runs in a Pro40 match in 2009.
Westfield, 25, was imprisoned for his part in the affair.
He was also banned from professional cricket for five years, but the ECB appeal panel ruling stated that he can return to club cricket next April - three years before his ban is complete.
ECB chairman Giles Clarke, who worked on the ICC's Pakistan Task Force from 2002 to 2010, said: "The appeal panel's findings in this case clearly confirm the disciplinary panel's finding that Mr Kaneria acted as a recruiter of potential 'spot-fixers' and used his seniority and international experience to target and corrupt a young and vulnerable player.
"We note, with regret, that Mr Kaneria has neither made any admission of guilt nor expressed any remorse for his corrupt actions, despite the weight of evidence against him.
"It is high time that Mr Kaneria came clean about his involvement in these corrupt activities and stopped misleading the Pakistan cricket fans and wider public."
ECB chief executive David Collier also commented on the panel's ruling on Westfield, saying: "The ECB notes the panel's decision on Mr Westfield's appeal against the length of his ban.
"Without Mr Westfield's stand, the corrupt actions of Mr Kaneria might not have been exposed.
"The ECB will support Mr Westfield's efforts to rehabilitate himself and as part of this process, hopes that he can raise awareness of the dangers of corruption in cricket."
Essex chief executive Derek Bowden said: "We will consider the appeal panel's decision carefully and continue to work closely with the ECB's anti-corruption team and the PCA (Professional Cricketers' Association) to ensure that all Essex players continue to be well educated about the dangers of corruption and immediately report any corrupt or other suspicious activity."
Kaneria has repeatedly denied all involvement in the corruption case, but his appeal against two ECB charges has now failed twice on appeal.
A cricket discipline commission appeals panel dismissed the case in April before today's decision, when Kaneria had hoped a reduction in his ban might at least have been achieved.

Ah Meng Restaurant
Ah Meng Restaurant is located inside the Singapore Zoo. It is named after the famed
who lived in the zoo until 2008. The cafeteria-style restaurant is quite crowded during lunch time especially on weekends.
I placed an order for the Chicken Curry Briyani Rice (S$8.32). The briyani rice is served with chicken curry, yellow pea curry, yogurt chutney and a papadum cracker. The taste of spices is welcoming, and the food does not fail to satisfy my palate.
For drinks, I had a cup of Iced Lemon Tea (S$2.27).
In some Singaporean restaurants, the menu prices have awkward numbers because Goods and Services Tax (GST) is imposed on most retail transactions. After the 7% tax is applied, the final bill lands on a round number, therefore avoiding the need for small coin denominations.

Somatic hybrid plants of various ploidy levels obtained after chemical fusion between two dihaploid clones of potato Solanum tuberosum L. have been analysed by cytological, morphological and molecular methods. The hybrid nature of tetraploid and hexaploid plants and the genome dosage in hexaploid hybrids were confirmed by Giemsa C-banding. Tetraploid and hexaploid hybrids showed numerical as well as structural chromosome mutations. The latter occurred mainly in the nuclear organizing chromosome. The tetraploid hybrids were more vigorous than the dihaploid parents as demonstrated by an increase in height, enlargement of leaves, increase in the number of internodes, restored potential for flowering and increased tuber yield. The grouping of tetraploid somatic hybrids into various classes on the basis of leaf morphology revealed that plants with a full chromosome complement were more uniform than aneuploids. Many hexaploid somatic hybrids were also more vigorous than the dihaploidparents and could be grouped into two different classes on the basis of floral colour and tuber characteristics, the differences being due to their different dosage of parental genomes. Most of the tetraploid somatic hybrids showed pollen development halted at the tetrad stage as one of the parental clones contained a S. Stoloniferum cytoplasm. However, one tetraploid plant produced pollen grains with high viability. The chloroplast genome in the hybrid plants was determined by RFLP analysis. All of the hybrids had a cpDNA pattern identical to one parent, which contained either S. Tuberosum or S. Stoloniferum cpDNA. A slight preference for S. Tuberosum plastids were observed in hybrid plants. No correlation between pollen development and plastid type could be detected. © 1992 Springer-Verlag.
A culture protocol has been developed for mesophyll protoplasts isolated from various d¡haploid clones of potato. A large number of call¡ was obtained after serial dilution of the cultures w¡th a suitable amount and type of medium at different stages of cell colony development.
A polyelhylene glycol fusion procedure was developed that yielded up to 12 % heterokaryons. Using this fusion protocol hybrid cells have been manually lsolated, cultured and regenerated into plants. Fus¡on products were identified 2-3 days after fuslon by the dual fluorescence emission from the chloroplasts in mesophyll protoplasts (red) and the fluorescein diacetate stain in l¡ght and norflurazon bleached protoplasts (yellow-green). This fusion and select¡on strategy leads to the recovery of almost 100 % hybr¡d plants as established by isozyme analysls.
Cytolog¡cal analysis of protoplast-derived plants and somatic hybrid plants revealed genetic changes as a consequence of protoplast culture and protoplast fus¡on. Twenty-three tetraplo¡d somatic hybrid plants were obta¡ned from 6 different calli and 9 of these were euploid.
Morphological assessments of somatic hybr¡d plants of different ploidy levels demonstrated that tetraploid as well as several hexaploid somatic hybrids showed an increased vigour as compared to the parental plants. Most tetraploid somat¡c hybrids had a similar appearance although not all euploid plants were identical. Loss of vigour was evident in all mixoploid and octoplo¡d plants. These were stunted, weak and had an abnormal leaf morphology.
The plastid type in hybrid plants was determined by RFLP analysis. All analysed hybrids had a cpDNA restrict¡on fragment pattern ¡dent¡cal to one of the parents wh¡ch contained either S. tuberosum or S. stoloniferum cpDNA. A slight preference for S. tuberosum plastids was observed in hybild plants. No influence on tho assortment of chloroplast by the norflurazon bleaching could be detected.

Super Chocolatey Goodness.
It is Week 3 in the KAF Bake the Bag series: Whole Grain Brownies.
The brownies are fudgy, cake-like and moist. If you love chocolate, this is your treat.
Even with the wheat flour I found those super decadent and it's not a complaint!
I also used mini chocolate chips versus the standard size chips for my preference. I tend to use the mini's in place of the regular ones in many recipes.
I loved eating this with vanilla ice cream after warming up a piece. It's the perfect combo.
As a later thought, I ended up making a peanut butter frosting to balance the rich chocolate taste.
Makes about 2 dozen, 2-inch brownies.
- 16 tablespoons (1 cup) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups light brown sugar
- 3/4 cup Dutch-process cocoa
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon espresso powder
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups King Arthur White Whole Wheat Flour, organic preferred
- 1 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9″ x 13″ pan; line the pan with parchment paper if desired.
- In a saucepan set over low heat, melt the butter, then add the sugar and stir to combine.
- Return the mixture to the heat briefly just till it's hot but not bubbling.
- Transfer the mixture to a bowl, and stir in the cocoa, salt, baking powder, espresso powder and vanilla.
- Add the eggs, stirring till smooth.
- Then add the flour and chips, again stirring till smooth. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake the brownies for 30 minutes, until a cake tester or sharp knife poked into the center reveals wet crumbs, but not raw batter.
- Remove them from the oven, and cool completely on a rack.
Here is a link to the original recipe: Whole Grain Brownies that has lots of baking tips to help make it perfect!
I can't wait to find out what next week's recipe brings!

Matthew Smith, Class of '15
Associate, Sterne, Kessler
Mason was the perfect marriage of law and science for Matthew Smith. With a Phd. in Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Sciences, Matthew was looking for the right law school to maximize his science expertise in the legal world. In choosing Mason Law, he found a powerhouse curriculum and expertise in IP Law. What he didn't realize before he started law school was just how exceptional the Scalia Law community was. "It was the closeness of the community" that made the difference, says Matthew. "I felt that everyone cared about each other at Mason, and everyone helped each other when needed."
Matthew gave back to that sense of community as well. In a law school with a specialized track and concentration in Intellectual Property Law, where nearly 30% of students take IP related classes, Mathew became the President of the Intellectual Property Law Society at Mason, energizing a community of young IP law students and organizing a host of informative IP networking events.
A May 2015 graduate, Matthew joined the IP prosecution practice at Sterne, Kessler, Goldstein & Fox in September. He says the best part of his job is "working with cutting edge science while helping clients protect their inventions."

Built in 1961, the arena was used primarily for basketball games for the team Dinamo Tbilisi and is still the largest basketball designed arena in all of the former USSR successor states. The arena was renovated in 2007 and was reopened on August 22, 2007, with management rights given to the Logic Group Ltd for a 30 year contract. This was the first phase of renovation and reconstruction, with the second phase including changing the roof of the building and installing new individual seats.
Total cost of the renovation is estimated at 5 million USD.
The image is snapshotted from a Georgian movie "Me, Grandma, Iliko and Ilarioni ", directed by Tengiz Abuladze and released in 1962.

Sheldon the Greyhound Puppy
Little baby Sheldon is a sweet greyhound puppy, just five months old, who has won the hearts of everyone he has met. Unfortunately, he came to be rescued with a badly broken leg that had been left unattended and untreated.
We tried to save his leg
Sheldon underwent a tricky operation to try and save his leg, with pins and plates being inserted in order to try and repair the damage. He coped really well with the surgery, and was stoic -even chirpy- during the recovery period, learning to enjoy the comforts of home life in foster care.
But it was no use
In spite of expert care, the damage was too great and the bone was unable to knit, showing no improvement whatsoever. The tough decision was made to remove his leg- which would never be functional- to give baby Sheldon the best mobility.
You can help Sheldon
We need to raise $5000 to cover the costs of Sheldon's surgeries and ongoing care as he adjusts to his life as a 'tripawd'. Greyhound Rescue relies on the generosity of donors like you to help us do the work that we do; saving puppies like little Sheldon who otherwise wouldn't be given a chance.
Any money raised above what is needed for Sheldon's vet bills will help us with other costs, which are many.
Thank You
Sheldon is quickly learning how to do all the puppy things without his bad leg holding him back; in fact he has to be reminded to take it easy and slow down while his little body recovers!
Can you make a tax-deductible donation to help us cover the costs of Sheldon's surgery? In return we've a bunch of cool ways to say thank you, or you can simply make a contribution without selecting a perk. Sheldon will be forever grateful.

CHARLESTON, W. Va. – The news business is a fickle mistress. What reporters love at a given moment can be gone in a split second. We're an industry that could properly be diagnosed with ADHD, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. We'll focus like a laser beam on one issue, and moments later we are lost in another news event. It's fleeting – and that can have good and bad consequences. Let's "brunch" on that this week.
"The Week That Was" – We're a nation looking back at the first week of the impeachment trial, and we're looking ahead to the Super Bowl, and the Iowa Caucuses. And then in the middle, there is the sudden, jarring, unexpected crash, and basketball legend Kobe Bryant, his daughter and seven others are dead. Many in the public were brokenhearted, and all eyes of the nation were averted. We get information overload from so many directions, and it's almost too much to bear. There's no right or wrong here. So much of our attention span is driven by human nature and curiosity, amidst so many other distractions. It's hard to keep up.
"People Vote with Their Eyeballs" – I'll be honest, I've never been a fan of the Nielsen TV Ratings system. I think it's horribly imprecise, prone to inaccuracy, and only gives us a quantitative, but not qualitative measure of the audience. In short, it tells us what people watched but does not explain why. I say all this because viewership in the impeachment trial plummeted within days. According to Reuters, 11 million people tuned in on Tuesday, January 21st, but dropped to 8.9 million Wednesday, and then to 7.8 million on Thursday. That's an overall drop of 29 percent. The public, by and large, is tuning out. On the other hand, Fox News viewership jumped to 4.2 million viewers on Saturday, which was the first day of President Trump's defense, more than double its audience from the day before.
"Why is That?" – I'm not suggesting that people don't care about the impeachment, or don't think it's important. But we do have a finite amount of time where we vote with our viewing habits. Let's face it, a 4-hour Super Bowl game and halftime show rivets our attention more so than a seesaw, and often tedious, legal and constitutional debate that happens over the course of two weeks. And we have the anticipation of what's to come on Monday, February 3rd, when the first voters in the nation get to cast presidential ballots. Look, I've worked in radio and TV for 43 years. I get it. We all have interests, distractions, choices, and alternatives. Attention spans can be short and fleeting.
"So, What Is Happening in Iowa?" – Well, it's down to the wire. We had a debate two weeks ago, and most of the candidates have been crisscrossing the state since then stumping for votes. But, Senators Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, Amy Klobuchar and Michael Bennett, have been stuck in Washington, DC at the impeachment trial, freezing them out of the last-minute voter push. The latest Real Clear Politics composite poll has a new leader this week, with Senator Bernie Sanders back on top with 24 percent, with former Vice President Joe Biden at 21 percent, former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg at 16.8 percent, Senator Elizabeth Warren at 14.7 percent and Senator Amy Klobuchar at 9.2 percent. The poll numbers are trending up for Sanders, and Buttigieg, but are going down for Biden, Warren and Klobuchar.
"As Iowa Goes, So NOT Goes New Hampshire" – Look, these two states are fiercely independent, and what happens in one is in no way a predictor of what happens in the other. Just Google Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Mike Huckabee and John McCain. The latest Real Clear Politics composite poll has Sanders 24 percent (down 5 points), Biden 16 percent (down 6 points), Buttigieg at 14.8 percent (up 4.8 percent), Warren 13 percent (down 3 points), and Klobuchar at 7 percent (up 2 points). But maybe momentum can swing between February 3rd in Iowa and February 11 in New Hampshire. We'll see.
"In Other News: A Story to Keep Your Eyes On" – It has been big news in West Virginia since August. Someone has been killing U.S. military veterans who've sought treatment at the VA Hospital in Clarksburg. I've been investigating this for six months, and now we've learned a federal grand jury has been empaneled in Clarksburg to hear evidence. Congress and the State Legislature have been pressing for answers. When word came of the grand jury probe, State Senator William Ihlenfeld said of the crimes, "It is death penalty eligible. And so, this person, whoever it might be, if convicted of this crime, could face the death penalty." Ihlenfeld is the former U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of West Virginia which oversees the case.

As Tanzanians welcome and celebrate the new year today, they hope 2019 will bring better tidings for both family, business and the country in general.
While the majority of those interviewed feel the past year has been one of struggle to make ends meet, there was nevertheless a sense that things would improve.
They were largely hopeful the beginning of the new year provides an opportunity to learn from the past and set the pace for an improved environment going forward.
The socioeconomic and political difficulties of the last one year notwithstanding, Tanzanians of all walks of life thronged churches and entertainment spots to usher in 2019 in their own respective styles.
Merry-making is expected across the country as families gather for once-in-a year festivities, reunions and visitations, including in homes that house the less privileged in society to offer donations and provide moral support.
Fireworks were expected across major cities on the stroke of midnight last night. The same had been witnessed in several cities in countries such as North Korea, Japan and Australia which have an early break into the new year.
The festivities, however, gradually fizzle out as families soon get back to work and the daily hustles, including taking their children to school and also attending to the old and sick.
In interviews with The Citizen yesterday, a cross section of leaders in business, politics and in civil society were in agreement that Tanzanians should make 2019 a year of hope and dialogue to enhance national unity.
For business leaders, entrenched policy reforms should help them quickly forget the hurdles of 2018 that made doing business difficult for many.
CEO Roundtable of Tanzania chairman Sanjay Rughani roots for a more meaningful engagement between the government and the private sector this year, with tax reforms topping the agenda.
"We expect 2019 to be a turn-around year for most businesses and do not expect to see closures as was the case in the last one year," he said.
For politicians and civil rights crusaders, the overriding call is for the government to restore the rule of law and respect for human rights that they said had been under constant attack in the recent past.
Chadema secretary-general Vincent Mashinji roots for dialogue among stakeholders to bring the country together in a year of local government elections and preparations for the 2020 General Election.
ACT-Wazalendo party leader Zitto Kabwe, however, feels the onus was on the government and President John Magufuli to make 2019 a good or a bad year for democracy and good governance.
For rights advocates such as Tanganyika Law Society president Fatma Karume and Mr Onesmo Olengurumwa of the Tanzania Human Rights Defenders Coalition (THRDC), Tanzanians should make a new year resolution to defend their own rights and interests instead of leaving the task to only a few individuals.
They said 2019 could also become the turning point for a new constitution in the country.

Regarding WEALTH NETWORK
Essentially, by the constant promo of these up-sells is just how you'll additionally be trying to make cash, and is very comparable in nature to other a lot more prominent MLM systems like Plug-In Profit Sites. WEALTH NETWORK review is just what they claim the system which is not just cost-free, however, utilizes its very own automatic system to help you in making money. Their approaches not only felt deprived in a sense, however much more inadequate. To obtain started with WEALTH NETWORK, you could obtain signed up for free. From there, however, you'll be needed to likewise start registering for its various up-sells, which as you could think, are not provided free of charge. The factor for offering this system for free is to draw in a wider number of people while trying to provide even more worth to the customer in exchange. While it may look like it is a potential win-win for both the consumer as well as opportunity, there are a number of drawbacks that can make any a single person reluctant when signing up with WEALTH NETWORK.
WEALTH NETWORK Upsells Include:

- Power Lead System: Upsell # 2 is much more of a Multi-Level Marketing network marketing chance in nature, and also you may do not hesitate to read my complete review on these men here. Although they provide you a 7-day cost-free test, you will be needed to pay a $27 minimum monthly charge, and also is likewise a demand to obtain full access to WN. In overall you are considering paying $57 for your initial month in WEALTH NETWORK alone, and also $27 monthly later on.
The WEALTH NETWORK Products
As of the minute, there is an unidentified number of a Wide range Network item, however, the company has actually promised to introduce their items quickly this year! It's one thing we have to beware!
Price to Sign Up With WEALTH NETWORK
As previously abovementioned, they originally declare that the system is completely cost-free to make use of. Yet among the significant downsides below is its use of this highly-deceptive and popular system of using up-sells and also other similar Multi-Level Marketing MLM programs to ensure that the owners could experience a possible rise in revenues as well as other side advantages.
WEALTH NETWORK Business Possibility/ Compensation Plan
As of the minute, the business has not released a statement/guideline yet on just how the WEALTH NETWORK compensation strategy would go, however they have promised to expose it quicker this year which is fairly exciting, yeah? Like any network internet marketing company, when you fund an individual into business you earn money on the product pack they buy.
Above all these details provided, it is quite obscure just what WEALTH NETWORK depends on or what their business is all about. One point is for sure, they will certainly increase quicker! As of now, I can't claim whether it is a rip-off or legit. There were no full testimonials about it yet and also they have not verified the efficiency of the company yet. So, it is one point we need to look out! I wish you appreciated reading what my WEALTH NETWORK Review is about!
