CDC to help investigate E. coli outbreak linked to Lynden event
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is expected to be in Whatcom County on Monday, May 11, to help investigate an E. coli outbreak linked to the Milk Makers Fest in Lynden.
A total of 47 people have been sickened, according to an update provided by the Whatcom County Health Department on Friday, May 8.
Eight people have been hospitalized.
"They have a lot more resources to be able to help in the on-the-ground investigation and the data analysis," said Greg Stern, Whatcom County health officer.
County public health officials also have been working with the state Communicable Disease Epidemiology as they search for what could have caused the outbreak of of Shiga toxin-producing E. coli.
The main sources for E. coli are contaminated food, water and surfaces, along with contact with livestock.
Scott Lindquist, state epidemiologist for communicable diseases, said he asked the CDC to come to Washington state.
"I don't think Whatcom or the state haven't done a good job. It's just I could use extra hands on this," Lindquist said Friday.
About 1,325 Whatcom County first-graders, plus the teachers and parents who accompanied them, from all of the school districts in Whatcom County went to the event April 21-23 at the Northwest Washington Fair & Event Center in Lynden. The 22nd annual festival was sponsored by Whatcom County Dairy Women.
The Milk Makers Fest introduced young students to farming. It also gave them a chance to pet farm animals, including small horses, sheep, rabbits, chickens and a calf. There was a hay maze and scavenger hunt as well.
Most of those who've been ill are first-graders.
People who helped set up and take down the event — on April 20 and April 24 — also were among those who have been sickened. There also have been secondary illnesses of people who lived in the same home as someone who was at the event and was sickened.
"The data is still being collected and the analysis will take a bit of time," Stern said.
Symptoms of the bacterial illness include severe stomach cramps, diarrhea that is often bloody, and vomiting. Illness occurs up to eight days after people are infected, which happens when they swallow minute amounts of feces, usually not visible to the naked eye.
The infection can develop into a potentially life-threatening complication known as hemolytic uremic syndrome.
The health department is continuing to interview those who have been sickened to find out whether there was a common food or water source or activity, such as the petting zoo or other contact with livestock.
As public health officials continue their investigation, Lindquist said getting more boots on the ground with the CDC will help with:
• interviewing the people at the event and looking at who was sickened and who wasn't to find out what they did differently. The point is to "make sure we are covering all possibilities, even ones we can't think of right now," Lindquist said.
• going back over all of the environmental risks to make sure something hasn't been missed. "I want a fresh set of eyes," Lindquist said.
Lindquist was confident the source of the outbreak would be found and he sought to assure the parents of sick children.
"I know this is very concerning when you don't understand what the source is," Lindquist said. "Rest assured we are overturning every stone to find out and give families peace of mind."

The rich man sat in his father's seat --
Purple and linen, and every excess (all things fine)!
The poor man lay at his gate in the street--
In pain and rags and weary distress!
To the rich man's table every dainty comes,
Many a morsel went from it, or fell;
The poor man would gladly have dined on the crumbs,
But whether he got them I cannot tell.
Proud servants, softly shod, and stout,
Stand by the rich man's curtained doors;
Wild dogs that ran about
Came to the beggar and licked his sores.
The rich man died, and they buried him grand,
In fine linen his body they wrapped;
But the angels took up the beggar man
And laid him down in Abraham's lap.
The good upon this side, the evil upon that--
Such was the rich man's sorrowful fall!
But his brothers they eat, and they drink, and they chat,
And care not a straw for their Father's hall!
The truth's the truth, think what you will;
And some they know not what they'd be at,
But the beggar man thought he didn't do so ill (badly),
With the dogs on this side, and the angels on that!
The rich man sat in his father's seat--
Purple an' linen, an' a'thing fine!
The puir man lay at his yett i' the street-
Sairs an' tatters, an' weary pine!
To the rich man's table ilk dainty comes,
Mony a morsel gaed frae't, or fell;
The puir man fain wud hae dined on the crumbs,
But whether he got them I canna tell.
Servants prood, saft-fittit, an' stoot,
Stan by the rich man's curtained doors;
Maisterless dogs 'at rin aboot
Cam to the puir man an' lickit his sores.
The rich man deeit, an' they buried him gran',
In linen fine his body they wrap;
But the angels tuik up the beggar man,
An' layit him doun in Abraham's lap.
The guid upo' this side, the ill upo' that-
Sic was the rich man's waesome fa'!
But his brithers they eat, an' they drink, an' they chat,
An' carena a strae for their Father's ha'!
The trowth's the trowth, think what ye will;
An' some they kenna what they wad be at;
But the beggar man thoucht he did no that ill,
Wi' the dogs o' this side, the angels o' that!

Hansestr. 30
38112 Braunschweig
+49 531 23764410
Braunschweig is the second largest city in Lower Saxony after Hanover. Its origins date back to the early 9th century. The sights are accordingly exciting and versatile. Our rental station is conveniently located on the northern outskirts of the city directly at the motorway junction Braunschweig Nord.
Embark on a Braunschweig tour with your rental car. In the former largest half-timbered town in Germany, the cathedral and marketplace are considered worth seeing highlights. In addition to the Old Town Town Hall, the Old Town Fountain and the Cathedral of St. Blasii, you will find here the landmark of the "Lion City" - the Burglöwen. Back he goes to Richard the Lion, who also built the castle Dankwarderode at the market place. For those who prefer modern, drive to the "Happy RIZZI House" by New York artist James Rizzi. The colorful house towers where you are able to walk on the building sculptures is at the same time the landmark of modern Brunswick.
Our range of rental car categories is unparalleled: from small cars over estate cars and sedans to various SUV models, we have thought of everything. By the way, also for your move - because with our transporters and trucks is also the right rental car available.
Buchbinder wishes you a pleasant stay in Braunschweig and a safe journey!

I'm an early adopter. I've learned over the years that it pays to be one of the first to try something new and not wait. So I was really pleased to discover Virtual Commercial days after they launched their new online commercial estate agency.
The time is long past when house hunters eagerly searched the shop window of their local estate agent, or the local newspaper to find a new home. Now everyone searches online, so why do estate agents pay High Street business rates and maintain a shop window? I suspect the answer is habit and because it's always been done this way.
So I'm not surprised that within hours of my offices being listed on Virtual Commercial I have an enquiry and let one room to a bright young entrepreneur. My offices are now listed on five well known online portals, for example here on Zoopla.
Good innovation is always uncomfortable and often positively disruptive. You either go with it or get left behind. I predict that 2018 will be the year of disruptive innovation. We cannot change Brexit or Government but we can change the way we do business. Don't get left behind.

Greenpeace: The Inside Story
Greenpeace: The Inside Story recounts the definitive history of the world's most renowned ecology action group. Beginning in the 1960s, the story follows our small cadre of peace activists, as we set out to start an "ecology movement." Inspired by Gandhi, the Quakers, Rachel Carson, and Marshall McLuhan, we sailed a boat into a nuclear test zone, then blockaded Russian and Japanese whalers, capturing our exploits in images that flashed across world media. We helped change public perceptions about nature, launched the modern environmental movement, and grew into a global force with millions of members in 50 nations. Along the way, we loved and fought with each other and experienced the price of success and fame.
"A rousing tale of the buccaneers and idealists who conspired to save the world by bringing democracy to the high seas."
-- Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
"An epic story, and highly readable."
-- The New Statesman
"A masterpiece."
-- Robert Hunter
Blood of the Land: The Government and Corporate War Against First Nations
The story of the most expansive geographical invasion and cultural extermination of all time: the occupation of the Americas by Europeans. Blood of the Land is also a record of the resistance to that occupation, which continues to this day, as indigenous power re-emerges from Canada to Chile. The book follows the rise of the American Indian Movement and the suppression, incarceration, and murder of native leaders such as Anna Mae Aquash and Leonard Peltier.
"The story of continuing cultural genocide, an all-American holocaust against people whose title and sacred relation to valuable land challenges both profits and American exploitation. A shocking story, and very well told."
-- Kirkus Reviews
"A powerful reminder that we can only ignore environmental, social justice, and spiritual issues at our -- and the Earth's -- peril."
-- Goodreads
The Jesus Sayings: The Quest for His Authentic Message
Who was the historical Yeshua, and how did his story become the "Jesus" of a Roman Church? Yeshua, a Jewish sage, influenced by diverse 1st century philosophies, encouraged followers to "find the light inside," and to "share it with the world." He did not refer to himself as a deity or "messiah," did not demand "faith," and did not threaten others with eternal hell if they failed to believe in him. Roman patriarchs devised those doctrines of obedience and punishment as part of emperor Constantine's state religion, 300 years after the life of Yeshua. How did the Prince of Peace, become associated with religious violence, the inquisition, the burning of women healers, modern pedophilia scandals, and other atrocities of church history? How did the honoured Magdalene become a "fallen woman?" This book examines the research of international Bible scholars and some 200 ancient sources, including the recently discovered Gospels of Thomas and Mary to recreate the historical life of Yeshua, the Magdalene, and their followers.
"Rex Weyler liberates the historical Jesus. He speaks truth to power in this solid and exciting re-telling of the diversity, politics, and mythology behind the origins of Christianity. There is integrity and trustworthiness in this work and in this author. Read this book."
-- Matthew Fox, author of One River Many Wells and Original Blessing.
To Save A Whale
Rex Weyler's photographs of the early Greenpeace whale voyages, 1975-77, with text by Robert Hunter. The photographs show the ships, crew, and confrontations with Russian whaling fleets on the high seas.
Chop Wood, Carry Water
A guide to finding spiritual fulfillment in everyday life, showing how work, learning, family, healing, technology, social action, and all aspects of life can serve as paths of spritual development. The book draws on teachings, wisdom, advice, hints, and inspiration from both ancient and modern teachers; from Buddha and Hildegard of Bingen, to Gandhi and Rachel Carson. Weyler is a co-author with Rick Fields, Peggy Taylor, and Rick Ingrasci.

Hotels in Cappadocia : Heaven Cave Hotel, Holiday Cave, Heaven Cave Hotel, Holiday Cave, Nostaljicavesuithotel, Ottoman Cave Suites, Yusuf Yigitoglu Konagı, Miras Hotel, Mitrah Cave Hotel or Similar Hotels.

We feel very glad to reply for our tour feed back on the Turkey that your company arranged for us.It was great to have an supportive, friendly and informative guides.They seemed to know how much activities to provide and also keen to learn our life styles in our countries.The choice of a hotels rather than the pensions was worth to the stay and joyfull. The food we ate was delicious, especially our tour stops in countryside part of Turkey.It was probably one of the best parts about the tour.We saw more things than we probably would have seen if we traveled alone and if we have been honest we owe you huge thanks for our brilliant time in your country.
Einfach super!!War einer meiner besten Erlebnissen in meinem Leben.Alle Ballone fliegen morgens bei Sonnenaufgang los.Dieses feeling werde ich nie vergessen.Auch die Leute da sind ganz gelassen und freundlich,hilfsbereit.Kleiner Tip:Unbedingt den Wein in Kappadokien abends geniessen,war überraschend gut.Würde ich gerne nochmal erleben....
Jacobs Bwela
We booked this tour in Istanbul at this office. We was really surprized of the professionell service they offered us. Everything was very good organized and all the staffs were punctually. We didnt expect so good like this. They arranged us Hotel, Balloonflight, Excursions and our Flighttickets. İt was just perfect! Specially the Balloonflight was amazing, early in the Morning with more than fifty Balloons, they started all thogether. I'll never forget this experience, this feeling. Thank you for everything.
We had a wonderfull Time in Cappadocia. It was so amazing we will never forget. Perfect Organisation for Flight, Transportations, Balloon and Excursions. All the Staff punctualy and with smile on face. The Balloon specially was great, one Hour over Cappadocia. The Staff at the Hotel, thanks to Mr. Senol, he was so helpfull. We enjoined the Dinner with a unique view. But it was to short thats why we thinking to visite again next Year. Of course we will book at this Agency. See you next Year Guys!
I only knew cappadocia from pictures. But when i was there i was completely shocked. Feels like you're in a sci-fi movie or somewhere out of this earth. And the baloon tour was stunning. Thank your for great discount and warm hospitality.
What is the best price of this tour during the sep. We will be 3 person first day and second day we will be 5 person.
I liked Goreme open air museum and underground city, it was good vacation to be in nature and locals and also turkish foods wase nice in a local restaurant that we taste during the tours.
Excellent organization from Istanbul to Cappadocia. Before the booking of Cappadocia, we e-mailed each other for the details of the tour with Mr. Senol. Thanks for his helps for booking procedure. When we booked the tour, started to wait for the departure day. On the daparture day, the staf Agency come and picked us up from hotel to airport, it was eary in the morning, Upon arrival at the airport, there, we passed the check in procedures and waited for the flight time. It was about 30-40 minutes transportation and one hour flying and then we landed at the Kayseri airport and then transferred to Cappadocia to meet with others. After we arrived and meet with tour guide and every came. We started to do the first day tour started and the touring was very nice and different discovery by some walking, some driving, tour guide was explaining and answering all the questions of everyone. It was about 8 hours touring included lunch time we arrived to hotel. We sent the night in a nice cave hotel in Cappadocia. Seconday started with a breakfast. It was an other beautiful discovery of Cappadocia. At the and of the day, we had transfer to airport to get fly back to Istanbul. The service was untill our hotel in Istanbul. It was excellent arrangements of our two days. We wanted also hot air balloon flight, but we were late because of all the balloon was full. To ride a balloon in Cappadocia was one of the best activities to do in Cappadocia. If you would like to fly by balloon, DO NOT MISS THE BALLOON FLIGHT.

Every on HAVE TO visit Natural beauty of Cappadocia and join the Balloon flight. It was excellent. Mr. Senol arranged this tour for me (hotel, balloon,transfers,flight tickets ..)

The sixth book in the series "Art Detectives" by the successful tandem of children's literature – writer Luīze Pastore and artist Elīna Brasliņa – invites readers to join the already well-known trio of detectives Theo, Button and Comma on their adventurous journey into the world of the Abstract Expressionist painter Mark Rothko's (1903–1970) paintings. The story is given the same name as the 1951 Rothko painting, into which the little detectives go – "Untitled".
Theo and Button have grown up and their long-standing friendship has clashed, however both teenagers are forced to unite in order to search for the missing classmate and, among other things, to accomplish another important task – to save their friendship.
"I've always thought that children's and youth's books should talk about emotions – not only about positive ones but also about anger, sadness, blues – about the totality of life, death and other borderline situations that help 'see' life."
/Luīze Pastore/
The author of the story admits that such literature helps to understand why, for example, mum or dad sometimes feels sad, and prepare children for the age when they themselves go through the tempests of unknown emotions, i.e. to recognize their own emotional states which they often find difficult even to name, leaving them "untitled" and hovering like a dark cloud of storm.
"Mark Rothko's art is based solely on the spectators' emotions – nothing else, therefore this time the story is more about "us" than about "him" – the Artist."
/Luīze Pastore/
However, in the book "Untitled" these themes are addressed with ease and wisdom, which is a feature of the whole series of "Art Detectives", while encouraging the reader to accept that all emotions have the right to exist. Just like all kinds of art – even if there is always someone in front of Rothko's paintings who says that he too "could do that".

Like a hot knife through butter..
Last night was an annoying one but in the end a productive one. I had a pretty bad sinus headache last night and probably should have just laid down but I didn't want to just crash out. So I went in and worked on the Wraithknight sword, shield and head plate. I was determined to get these done or at least the parts I have been working on as of late.
I ended up getting some reflection in the pictures but I think the sword is looking pretty nice at the moment. I let it dry for awhile then clear coated it. Thankfully no runs this time!
The shield is almost done as well, I took this pic before I went back in and colored the runes. I noticed it as I was uploading the pictures but by they it was time to crash 8) .. I think the shield is one of my favorite sections right now. It has a marblesch look to it that I'm digging, I wanted it to look like swirling energy and I think it really does..
The next thing I worked on was the head plate, I was originally making it very ghosted in but as I was blending I liked the way it was looking with a very bright section in the middle. I played around with some designs and blending the blues back up and into the bright section. I think this also came out looking really good. Next, I plan on getting the work on the head and arms completely done. I want some part of this guy to be 100% hah ..
As I waited for the paint to dry completely I worked on the base some. I thought it needed more destroyed bits and a bit more black scarring. Sadly I think I went too far, I didn't really notice it till I sat back .. No biggy, I'm just going to blend back up and in with some browns. I'll also need to work on the scrap a little as well.. Another unfortunate happening was I had glue on my thumb and picked him up by his leg.. now I'm going to have to sand that section down and repaint.. that sucked.. haha it seems I take two steps forward on this guy only to take one back.. I'm in no rush with him though ... trying some new stuff as I go along ..

I'm still moving slowly through the book, taking time to read other things too. But something I came across requires comment.
When I first read Zen & the Art, I was in my third year of college, and emerging from an interesting religious experience that had lead to my being "born again" while in high school. While I was within that first religious community, everything had made sense. But once I had emerged, I began to have a different perspective. While I still put some value on faith, the, well, externalization of faith (what was called in those days "witnessing") started to seem positively creepy.
And so I read, with some approval, and took to my bosom, with considerable agreement, a set of statements that Pirsig makes about Phaedrus. Pirsig has just written about a lecture that Phaedrus gave in an English class he was teaching, which he calls the "Church of Reason" lecture. It was about the idea that a university is not made of bricks and wood, but rather of ideas (see previous posts regarding TRUTH) and that the faculty are merely (my interpretation) the priests of the Church of Reason–in essence, that The Church continues to exist even if and when a church (or even every church) is shut down.
Cool. I can get into that.
But Pirsig notes that Phaedrus lectured on the Church of Reason with more appearance of certainty than he actually felt:
The explanation I've come to [for this stridency] arises from the discrepancy between [Phaedrus's] lack of faith in scientific reason in the laboratory [NB: see discussion of hypotheses, above] and his fanatic faith expressed in the Church of Reason lecture. I was thinking about the discrepancy one day and it suddenly came to me that it wasn't a discrepancy at all. His lack of faith in reason was why he was so fanatically dedicated to it.
You are never dedicated to something you have complete confidence in. No one is fanatically shouting that the sun is going to rise tomorrow. They know it's going to rise tomorrow. When people are fanatically dedicated to political or religious faiths or any other kinds of dogmas or goals, it's always because these dogmas or goals are in doubt.
When I was 20, I agreed with Pirsig without reservation on that last line. That dedication, fanaticism, emerged from a lack of certainty. Indeed, in an honors thesis I wrote on the emergence of the Gay Rights movement, I bootlegged in the assumption that people who were nearer in time to their "conversion" to a movement or an idea were necessarily more strident. I discovered some problems with this hypothesis, but I did not make them explicit at the time, and besides, internally I still had not distinguished belief systems and theories (again, see above. Sorry).
I no longer agree.
I think that there are beliefs, ideas–dogmas, if you prefer–and goals that one can believe in with certainty and yet regarding which one can be a zealot.
Consider climate change, nee global warming. I'm absolutely convinced it's happening. I've seen the data. More to the point, I've seen it. It's not a question of having faith in it any more than it's a question of having faith that the sun will rise tomorrow. And yet, I am a zealot with respect to global warming, in two respects. First, in saying that we should do something about it, second, in trying to convince skeptics. The first, Phaedrus might turn aside by saying that I'm a zealot with respect to policy, and that policy remains uncertain. I suppose he'd be right. But the second:
I'm not trying to convince people that global warming is real because I'm uncertain. I'm trying to convince them that it's real so that they'll do something about it.
And there are people who are certain to the bottom of their feet that their god is real, that X is Y, etc. And they're zealous about those beliefs even though they're by no means uncertain.
I suspect here that Phaedrus was bringing in the world-weariness of the 1970s in which he was writing, but I can't be certain.
The one thing I can be certain of here is that he's making an argument that only looks logical. It's a deductive argument. And as a brown-dirt inductivist, that makes me suspicious.
Let's be careful out there.

Frozen Asset
Complete a specific 4 Good (Blue) Side Missions.
This set of missions will come later in the game and only be available after you get to the second island (Ice Men of Flood Town). You need to complete 4 side missions that relate to an ally Kuo and Cole have in an Australian sounding Ice Man who wants to subvert activities of his "brothers".
- Unlikely Allies: Located near the bridge on the Southwest of Flood Town (connecting the two islands). All you'll have to do here is kill a bunch of Ice Men. Your ally will be an Ice Foot Soldier.
- Stay Frosty: Located near the bridge again (a little later in the game). Again, kill a bunch of Ice Men. Your Ally will be a smaller Ice Titan.
- The Big Chill: South East of Gas Works near the ships. Here the larger Ice Titan will crash through two warehouses with you in tow. Kill all the Ice Men for EXP and then chase the two that get away.
- Mercy Kill: Northwest of the Ice Tower in the Gas Works. Kill your ally as he's gotten out of hand. The Ice Titan shouldn't be too hard at this point, but gernades make swift work of any enemies.
You do not need to complete all of the other Good (blue) side missions in order to enable this. You may have to at least complete the first one to trigger the others to show up.

How might the notion of compassionate mentorship inspire and inform courageous pedagogical practice?
How might art education inspire and inform courageous pedagogical practice?
Each semester, I am inspired to take up courageous conversations alongside students, with the hope that these moments might prompt occasions for/of transformation. Most recently, I have referred to these conversations as desirable difficulties--or openings for deeply felt transformation. I challenge students in my Aesthetics course to take up inquiry and respond to contemporary aesthetic puzzles in order to develop insight into aesthetic issues and ultimately test and challenge aesthetic theories. Working alongside Dr. Sara Scott Shields (Assistant Professor of Art Education at Florida State University) in the development of this semester's course content, each week, our students are challenged to apply these aesthetic puzzles to their own personal experiences as students, artists and preservice teachers. Practicing compassion allows us, as educators, to hold open a space for students to contribute varied responses to otherwise difficult topics. Our students have exhibited courage in doing so.
Weekly engagements in their journals/sketchbooks have revealed their thoughtful consideration of class discussions and readings and serve as a reminder that when we accept the mantle of educator, we are necessarily in service of respecting and caring for our students. Especially, "if we [aim] to provide the necessary conditions where learning can most deeply and intimately begin (hooks, 1994). I take inspiration from the visual/textual musing of my student (above image) and agree that in order to embody compassion, we must shift toward selflessness in order to connect with stories beyond our own, even when it is difficult to do so. That said, I believe that compassionate mentorship takes place when we allow ourselves to be in dialogue with one another rather than simply to or about one another.
What do you think? How might we contribute to mentorship in compassionate ways? In what ways are we preventing compassionate mentorship from taking place? I'd love to know your thoughts.

Best Android App To Track Your Crypto Portfolio
One of the hardest things to do can be tracking all the crypto you have invested in if you have it located in different wallets and different exchanges.

From the gorgeous bride, to the breathtaking Vancouver Island venue, this wedding is a celebration of natural beauty.
Alex and Joanna met on a camping trip with friends in Tofino, British Columbia, so it's only natural that they would choose to have their "destination" wedding in the same lush surroundings where their story began. Their intimate nuptials were held at Middle Beach Lodge -- a tranquil, away-from-it-all resort that looks as cozy as a friend's cottage.
The couple kept their guest list short and their details chic, from the colorful bouquets and centerpieces, to the mini-doughnut tower "cake" and custom table numbers. Enjoy the stunningly scenic images captured by Jamie Delaine Photography.

I am not given to hero worship of TV anchormen. When I was a kid I thought Cronkite was God, but so did the rest of America. When I grew up, I got into the local-TV news business as a reporter and later an anchor. I recognized the obvious: Sometimes the job mattered, but often it was much ado about nothing. And the people you worked with were sometimes a bunch of blow-dried hype artists.
So I was prepared to be underwhelmed when I met Peter Jennings, who died of lung cancer this month, last October in Pittsburgh. Mind you, the network news folks had always adhered to a much higher standard than we local boob-tubers, but they were not immune to the pretentious sense of self-importance that too often permeates TV news broadcasts at every level.
Another reason I was skeptical about Jennings is that he was Bond, James Bond. The metaphor for the 007 of anchormen is overused, but it also seemed right on the mark. Jennings was suave and debonair, or, as we say on the North Side, swave and de-boner. (The guy was married four times; I think it was mostly de-boner.)
I met Jennings when I served on a panel focusing on Western Pennsylvania's role in the 2004 presidential election -- and on the hometown connection of the hottest chick who could have been first lady, Teresa Heinz-Kerry.
With me on the panel were Post-Gazette columnists Ruth Ann Dailey and Tony Norman, along with radio talk host Jerry Bowyer and Channel 4 news director Bob Longo.
So Jennings gets all of the panelists in the room. There are some hangers-on. He orders them out immediately in a calm-but-forceful swave and de-boner fashion. When James Bond says hit the road, you start packin'.
Time is short and Jennings starts debriefing all of us about our background. He asks quick questions and gets quick answers. You see his brain clicking behind those steely anchorman eyes and he instantly sizes us up as panelists. Who might be long-winded? Who's a righty, who's a lefty, who's a gadfly, who might be able to provide a comedic moment if this the program gets dull?
In the process he charms the pants off everyone in the room. There we all were with no pants. Or maybe that was the dream I had that night. But Mr. Pretentious suddenly seemed the most unpretentious, caring, thoughtful, really cool guy I had ever met in the news business.
I had put down on my bio that I had been an anchorman and reporter at several TV stations. "Don't you just want to say 'reporter'?" asked Peter. "Yeah, I guess that sounds a lot better," I mumbled. Jennings famously thought anchoring wasn't a real job, and that you had to try to be a reporter who happened to sit behind a desk.
The funny thing is, if you read all the fawning obits about Jennings, he was anything but pretentious. In fact he apparently had a massive inferiority complex. First elevated to the ABC anchor desk in 1964 at age 26, the young Canadian wasn't ready, and embarrassed himself up against Huntley/Brinkley and God himself, Cronkite. To his credit, he recognized it, quit after a little less than three years and spent the next several years traveling the globe and becoming a superb foreign correspondent. Here was a high school dropout educating himself by hopscotching around the world and immersing himself in its problems.
I had seen Jennings in person one other time. In 1984 I was in Des Moines, Iowa, covering the Iowa caucuses. There was Peter, along with one of his idols who had since moved to ABC, David Brinkley. They were pecking away at typewriters (back in the pre-computer Stone Age) and I was told they were too busy to talk to the kid from local TV.
I told Jennings this story. He said that Brinkley completely carried him that election night during the endless mostly ad-lib coverage, and he spent the rest of his career trying to catch up, and on his final election with Brinkley in 2000, when Brinkley was deteriorating, Jennings carried him.
Unlike 007's martinis, Peter was stirred, but not shaken, during many a national crisis on the anchor desk. He was Jennings ... Peter Jennings.

Goodbye Manhattan. Traveling back to home base.
Spotted a TV crew on our walk to the pool.
Locked out. Pool closed from 3-4pm citywide.
So me and my friends drank some booze by the scenic part of the park.
We were sloppy tanned messes by the end of our adventures.
See you soon Astoria pool.


text: This essay is a selective review of Nordic literature with the aim to explore contemporary conceptions of male-on-female rape, to increase the understanding of how these can construct "a real rape". To achieve this two questions were formulated: What circumstances can cause an incident not to be defined as rape? What circumstances can cause an incident to be defined as rape? Searches in international and Swedish databases led to initial selection of peer-review journal articles and dissertations that were reviewed against set criteria. These criteria were met by 8 studies, that were assigned codes, from which comprehensive categories were developed. The categories were analysed using Yvonne Hirdman's concepts gender, separation and male superiority. The analysis shows that circumstances connected to the overall categories Situation, Victim and Offender construct "a real rape". The circumstances are Relation, Alcohol, Saying no and how it is done, The woman's sexuality, Resistance, How the woman feels afterwards, Physical violence, and Ordinary, normal and good men. It seems easier to define an incident as rape when these circumstances occur the "right" way. In conclusion, rape is constructed as a rather narrow concept which could make it difficult for women to name experiences as rape.

Democrats across the commonwealth are sweeping into local offices after Tuesday's election. Check out the coverage here:
Democrats were successful across the state:
City & State PA: Off-year election sees PA Democrats make big gains
A day that saw spitting rain in Philadelphia and flurries in Harrisburg could not keep voters away from the polls in the 2017 General Election. Turnout was strong for an off-year Election Day that saw a slew of victories for state and local Democrats running in races one year after the election of Republican President Donald Trump.
Democrats were looking to build morale and momentum ahead of a hoped-for wave election in 2018 – and voters delivered in Pennsylvania, as well as in states like New Jersey and Virginia.
WHYY: Democrats dominate major mayors' races in Pennsylvania
Democrats dominated municipal elections in Pennsylvania on Tuesday, securing the mayor's offices in Pittsburgh, Allentown, Scranton, Lancaster, Erie, State College and Harrisburg. […]
In Harrisburg, incumbent Eric Papenfuse won an uncontested race. But Election Day in the capital city was not without its surprises. A judge had to send out law enforcement to seize raffle tickets that seemingly were meant to drive turnout for a write-in challenger.
Incumbent Scranton Mayor Bill Courtright won a second term, as did Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto – both expected results.
In State College, longtime former borough council member Donald Hahn repeated his primary victory on Tuesday.
And Lancaster City Councilwoman Danene Sorace easily won the race to succeed outgoing Mayor Rick Gray.
And former Erie City Councilman Joe Schember made his "political comeback" to best local attorney John Persinger, a Republican who loyalists had believed had a fighting chance to flip historically deep-blue Erie.
In Northeastern Pennsylvania:
Scranton Times-Tribune: Powell bests Talerico, becomes first Democratic DA since Nixon era
Attorney Mark Powell made history Tuesday night, becoming Lackawanna County's first Democratic district attorney since President Richard Nixon sat in the White House, according to unofficial election results.
Powell, 53, an accomplished litigator who has never worked as a criminal prosecutor, bested former longtime First Assistant District Attorney Gene Talerico, 50, capturing 51½ percent of the vote.
Addressing a crowd of supporters numbering in the hundreds at Nosh in Dickson City after the outcome became clear, Powell said to loud applause, "The voters of Lackawanna County have spoken, and I am honored and humbled to be your next district attorney."
Scranton Times-Tribune: Courtright reelected as Scranton Mayor
Looking at times like he would burst into tears of joy, Courtright thanked family, friends and other supporters gathered at the Radisson Lackawanna Station Hotel, long a symbol of the city's slow-going renaissance.
"Four more years, four more years, four more years," they chanted as Courtright stepped up to a podium in the hotel's main ballroom.
"So, this isn't a victory for Bill Courtright, this is a victory for the city of Scranton," Courtright declared. "We did the right thing for the city of Scranton and we're going to continue to do the right thing for the city of Scranton."
Wilkes-Barre Times Leader: Bednar fends off challenge from Griffith in Luzerne County controller race
Luzerne County Controller Michelle Bednar will keep her seat another four years, blocking Walter Griffith's attempt to reclaim the office, according to unofficial results.
A 51-year-old Democrat from Conyngham Township, Bednar highlighted her orderly approach conducting in-house audits that recouped $250,000 for the county since she took over in 2014.
"I'm humbled and thank voters who came out and supported me," Bednar said.
Bednar said she has started establishing goals for the next four years to expand the department's focus, reserving specifics for a future date.
"I look forward to moving our office forward. There's much more for us to accomplish," she said.
And in Southeastern Pennsylvania:
Chester County Daily Local: Chesco Dems poised for 'blowout' win in row office elections
The returns were overwhelming in Democratic precincts in areas such as West Chester — where the margin of victory was sometimes more than three to one. But more tellingly the challengers were ahead in rock-hard Republican bastions such as East Pikeland, West Marlborough, and East Goshen, where Democrats had traditionally been hard pressed to compete. In those precincts, each of the four row office candidates – all of whom are women – were leading by sometimes double digits.
In one West Chester precinct, the GOP candidates did not reach even 10 votes, while their Democratic opponents neared triple figures.
"It might be a Democratic blowout," said one county elected official.
Bucks County Courier Times: Democrats surged Tuesday night to wins in county row office races.
Bucks County Democrats ended Election Night Tuesday with surprise victories in four of five county row offices.
The results of the county sheriff, prothonotary, recorder of deeds and controller mark the first time in more than 30 years that a Democrat held a single county office other than county commissioner, let alone four.
Republicans held leads as early results came in. As the night continued and numbers slowly trickled into the county board of elections, the Democrats gained ground and eventually ended the night with historic wins.
Delaware County Daily Times: Democrats win countywide races in historic upset
In a major upset, Democrats swept races for two Delaware County Council seats on Tuesday and scored all three row offices. It was the first time in history that the party won competitive countywide races.
"It's been a long time coming, let me tell you," Delaware County Democratic Chairman David Landau said. "This is going to be a historic night."
Democratic council candidates Kevin Madden and Brian Zidek had 61,695 and 60,657 votes respectively compared to the tallies of Republicans Dave White, an incumbent, who had 58,712 votes and John Perfetti with 58,454. Libertarian Ed Clifford received 2,040 votes.
The last time a Democrat served on county council was in 1980. No Democrat has served on the body since the Home Rule Charter eliminated the requirement for minority party representation.
Philly.com: In historic win, Delco Dems take council seats
County Democrats had been confident that their anti-Trump message and a registration advantage over Republicans for the fourth year in a row would help them win a County Council seat for the first time since the county moved to an election system that doesn't promote representation from a minority political party.
One of the country's most powerful GOP machines ruled the county for more than a century. No Democrat had ever outpolled a Republican in the county for County Council. Democrats also swept the row offices.
Montgomery Times Herald: Montgomery County's new judges 'honored' by wins
The two Democrats who swept the contest for two seats on the Montgomery County bench say they are "humbled" by their wins and eager to begin the next phases of their legal careers in January.
"I am humbled and honored to have been elected let alone with such huge margins," Judge-elect Wendy G. Rothstein said on Wednesday. "I will be sad to leave my law firm that I worked for 34 years. However, I am so excited to take the bench and be a public servant."
From the Lehigh Valley:
Allentown Morning Call: Northampton County Council: Democrats upset Republican domination
Democrats tipped the balance of Northampton County politics, pushing out three of four Republican incumbents on a council that has been GOP-dominated for about a decade, according to unofficial election results.
With all but a few Northampton County precincts reporting, front-runners in the crowded race for five council seats included Democrats Ronald Heckman, Tara Zrinski, Lori Vargo Heffner, William McGee and Republican Peg Ferraro.
In a race where roughly 5,200 votes separated first and last place in a 10-person field, incumbents Hayden Phillips, Glenn Geissinger and Seth Vaughn failed to earn reelection. Ron Angle, former councilman, was set to finish last. Peter Melan was the only Democrat who lost.
The new council alignment comes as Democrat Lamont McClure defeated Republican incumbent John Brown.
Lehigh Valley Live: Lamont McClure claims Northampton County executive win
Bethlehem attorney and former Northampton County Council member Lamont McClure claimed victory Tuesday over incumbent Executive John Brown.
With all 156 precincts reporting, McClure had 22,405 (53.80 percent) votes to 19,216 (46.14 percent) for Brown, according to unofficial county results.
McClure gave a victory speech shortly after 11 p.m., thanking his family and supporters.
Allentown Morning Call: Phillips Armstrong wins Lehigh County executive race
Democrat Phillips Armstrong won the race for Lehigh County executive Tuesday night, but the retired Whitehall High School teacher and basketball coach waited for the final buzzer before declaring victory.
His Republican opponent, Lehigh County Commissioner Brad Osborne, conceded the race shortly before midnight. Armstrong held a 53-47 percent lead, with 24,281 votes to 21,739 for Osborne, according to unofficial results from all but four of the county's 160 precincts.
To Central Pennsylvania:
Centre Daily Times: Brian Marshall to take seat on county Court of Common Pleas
Voters faced down the first snow of the season to cast their votes for Centre County's next Court of Common Pleas judge.
And the voters chose Brian Marshall. […]
"While I have diverse experience in civil and criminal law, I have additional training related to family law, which makes up a large portion of a judge's work," he told the CDT. "I am trained in and practice collaborative law, which is a commitment by the parties to find mutually acceptable legal agreements while avoiding the cost and damaging effects of traditional litigation."
Lancaster Newspapers: Sorace wins race to be Lancaster mayor; Democrats sweep City Council
Sorace prevailed over Republican Cindy Stewart and three independent candidates Tuesday, securing a commanding 73 percent of the vote.
The mayor-elect said she feels the gravity of the responsibility to serve all city residents. She thanked voters, saying their "overwhelming" support "is humbling, and I will not take it for granted."
Sorace's victory was part of a Democratic sweep, with the party's four City Council candidates, including incumbent Pete Soto, prevailing over their two Republican counterparts.
The results maintain the Democrats' lock on elected city positions.
Lancaster Newspapers: Democrats sweep in contentious Manheim Township school board race
And the winner of the Manheim Township school board election is:
Manheim Township Middle School.
In arguably the most contentious school board race in Lancaster County, Democratic candidates supporting a $65 million project to replace its 49-year-old middle school on Tuesday swept their Republican counterparts, who have long sought to pump the brakes on the project.
In Philadelphia:
Philly Voice: Progressive Larry Krasner easily wins Philly's district attorney race
"We are looking at a record," Krasner told a crowd of 100-plus supporters who gathered at the William Way LGBT Community Center. "The first D.A. candidate, we expect, to get well over 100,000 votes. What that says, to me, is this movement is not going away."
Voter turnout stood at 20 percent, the highest percentage in a district attorney race since 1997, when 22 percent of the electorate headed to the polls.
And it was eight percentage points higher than the last two district attorney races – despite a steady rain that extended throughout the afternoon and evening.
Philly.com: Rebecca Rhynhart, government insider and political novice, wins City Controller race
Rhynhart, a Democrat, was leading Republican Mike Tomlinson by a better than 4-1 ratio when the Associated Press called her the winner at about 9:15 p.m.
"This is just the beginning. We are going to lead a quiet and peaceful revolution in Philadelphia's political establishment," Rhynhart told cheering supporters in a back room of the Continental Midtown Restaurant.
"What my win showed is that the majority of people in the city want change and want change to the political establishment and want new political voices to be heard," Rhynhart said in an interview after her victory speech.
And in Western Pennsylvania:
Erie Times-News: Schember wins race for Erie mayor
"I feel good," Schember said while accepting congratulations from political supporters, friends and family at his victory party at the Sheraton Erie Bayfront Hotel, 55 W. Bay Drive. "The people of Erie elected me, and I'm going to serve all of the people of Erie. … I want every resident of Erie to feel like they can talk to me. … I'm going to be accessible and available to them."
Schember, a retired PNC Bank vice president, will take office in January.
WJET: Kathy Dahlkemper retains County Executive title
She says during her next term she will continue to support implementation of the Emerge 2040 plan… Kathy will take a leading role in ensuring access to broadband internet services to empower Erie County's residents and businesses. In the coming months, Erie County will see the completion of the Next Generation Radio Project, improving communication and making safety a priority. Kathy will continue to implement the recommendations in the NACO Prescription for Action Report in the ongoing fight against the scourge of opioid addiction in our communities.
Johnstown Tribune Democrat: Dems dominate City Council; King, Britt to join Mock, Vitovich
Two incumbents and two newcomers – all Democrats – won seats Tuesday on Johnstown City Council.
Marie Mock and David Vitovich retained their spots on the seven-member board. Come January, they will be joined by Sylvia King and Ricky Britt.
Unofficial results had King as the top vote-getter, with 20.8 percent, followed by Mock, 19.7 percent; Vitovich, 19.1 percent; and Britt, 18.9 percent.
"First of all, I've got to give thanks to God, the head of my life," said Britt, a retired corrections officer in the state prison system.
"I just thank him for the victory. It means a lot to be able to serve the city of Johnstown and my fellow citizens. Hopefully, we can bring a kind of stability back to our town and back to our (City Council) meetings and try to get some kind of positive energy running for the city of Johnstown."
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: Big night for Democrats in Allegheny County Council races
Tuesday was a good night for local Democrats.
Among the four competitive races for Allegheny County council, one GOP incumbent was toppled while a pair of Democratic incumbents cruised to easy victory.
In the northern suburbs of District 3, incumbent Republican Ed Kress slipped behind challenger Anita Prizio, who held tight to a burgeoning lead by Wednesday morning to eventually win the council seat.
Ms. Prizio, 54, garnered 50.8 percent of the vote.
Ms. Prizio, a Democrat from O'Hara, owns a small business and served on O'Hara council from 1998 to 2006. A married mother of two with a law degree and an MBA, Ms. Prizio owns Pittsburgh Crankshaft Service Inc., an automotive supply company with locations in East Liberty and Harrisburg.
During the campaign, she highlighted her business experience, saying "I don't sell out. I sell engine parts."

EM currencies to benefit from U.S. dollar peak
In our previous quarterly outlook, we envisaged a final leg up in the U.S. dollar (USD) would take the USD index (DXY1) to a level of 98 or higher. The chart below shows the DXY index reached our target level but failed to break above it three times between April and May. We think the greenback is peaking, i.e. that it will not set new highs in the remainder of 2019. The main rationale for our less positive dollar view is the shift in Fed policy. Whereas we previously expected the Fed to raise rates once in 2019, we now think that recent weakness in inflation and growth data will compel the Fed to take out some "insurance" and cut rates by 25 basis points twice.
The European Central Bank (ECB) and the Bank of Japan are also easing policy at the margin, but they have much less room to act on interest rates than the Fed. A declining interest rate gap between the U.S. and the Eurozone/Japan will weigh on the greenback, together with expensive valuation and worsening sentiment. To be sure, we do not forecast the start of a severe bear market for the U.S. dollar, which still enjoys a healthy, albeit diminishing, interest-rate advantage over the euro and the Japanese yen (JPY). In our view, the main beneficiaries of Fed rate cuts are likely to be higher-yielding emerging markets (EM) currencies.
Using the JP Morgan EM Currency Index2 as a yardstick, EM currencies are still trading near their absolute lows over the last decade, as shown in the chart below. Our proprietary valuation models, which are based on several variants of purchasing power parity3, confirm that EM currencies are attractively valued vis-à-vis the U.S. dollar. An environment of easier monetary conditions, mostly driven by the predicted Fed rate cuts and other central banks dialing up their unconventional stimulus, is a benign cycle factor for EM currencies.
Among developed-market currencies, we still like the Japanese yen best. During the escalation of the trade war between the U.S. and China in May, the yen acted as a safe-haven asset and strengthened considerably against other major currencies. This countercyclical characteristic of JPY makes it particularly valuable as a diversifier in portfolios that have sizeable allocations to equities and other risky assets.
1 The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) is a measure of the value of the United States dollar relative to a basket of foreign currencies, often referred to as a basket of U.S. trade partners' currencies. The index goes up when the U.S. dollar gains "strength" (value) when compared to other currencies.
2 The constituents of this index are the Brazilian real, Mexican peso, Chilean peso, Chinese renminbi, Indian rupee, Singapore dollar, Turkish lira, Russian ruble, Hungarian forint, and South African rand.
3 The purchasing power parity exchange rate equalizes the cost of living in two different countries and is used by economists as a measure of the "fair value" of currencies.

Power Vent Systems on a Dehumidifier Kiln
Forum Responses
From the original questioner:
I have the Wood-Mizer DH unit made by Nyle and the control box will control the auto vents at whatever maximum temperature I set on it. My big concern is that I spent a lot of time and money to make sure the kiln is airtight and well insulated and if the power vents don't seal properly it may cause problems. I'm new to kiln drying and have to rely on the experience of others so I really appreciate your input.
From contributor R:
I have a Nyle L200 setup with the auto high temp vent. I agree that the louvers don't seem to be very tight fitting. The rest of my kiln (reefer container) is very tight, and I don't have any problems controlling temp. Once the kiln is started and DH is running, my heat rarely kicks in, even in the winter... so for me, the less than perfect louver setup is not an issue.
From contributor J:
During the summer they are okay, since it vents a lot on the hot days. When the lumber is dry and I start the conditioning cycle, I block off the vent on the pressure side of the fans so it's not pushing moist, hot air out. If the vent runs while I have the intake blocked off, it creates a vacuum in the kiln and sucks the doors shut. It still blows some air out the vent so I have a leak somewhere else too. Whatever you do, definitely go with an auto vent for better control.
From the original questioner:
After reading your comments I decided to go ahead and order the power vent system from Nyle. Once again, I want to thank all of you for taking the time to answer my post.
From Professor Gene Wengert, forum technical advisor:
I would be tempted to put a piece of Styrofoam over the vent opening in the wintertime to reduce heat loss then. Make it loose enough so that if the fan does come on, the fan will be able to blow it off. Perhaps use a safety strap so it will not blow very far.
From contributor J:
I actually did use foam on the intake - it's wedged into the opening for the vent but can't come loose easily. On the powered out vent, a piece of Styrofoam could be hinged at the top so it would just close when the fan turns off. I'll look at that tomorrow.
From contributor C:
I have them on a L200 and installed a thermostat to control them. They work great.
