Gigabyte now lists as many as six different GeForce RTX 4070 graphics cards models with various memory configurations on its Thai-language website, according to VideoCardz. Nvidia is rumored to formally announce its GeForce RTX 4070 in April, so Gigabyte's listings may be placeholders or even typos since actual specifications of the product may not be finalized.
A Gigabyte game bundle giveaway in Thai language now reportedly lists GeForce RTX 4070 with 10GB, 12GB, and 16GB of GDDR6X memory, including GeForce RTX 4070 Aorus Master 12GB, GeForce RTX 4070 Eagle OC 12GB, GeForce RTX 4070 Gaming OC 10GB, GeForce RTX 4070 Gaming OC 12GB, and GeForce RTX 4070 Gaming OC 16GB. We logged into the Gigabyte Thai website, but couldn't find this giveaway, but presumably it exists as a user shared it with the staff at VideoCardz.
Nvidia's vanilla GeForce RTX 4070 is expected to be based on the AD104 graphics processor with 5888 CUDA cores operating at 1920 MHz – 2475 MHz as well as a 192-bit memory bus. Given that the board has to use 16Gb (2GB) GDDR6X memory chips, the only configurations possible on a 192-bit memory interface are 12GB (using six ICs) and 24GB (using 12 ICs).
|Row 0 - Cell 0||GPU||FP32 CUDA Cores||Memory Configuration||TBP||MSRP|
|GeForce RTX 4090 Ti||AD102||18176 (?)||24GB 384-bit 24 GT/s GDDR6X (?)||600W (?)||?|
|GeForce RTX 4090||AD102||16384||24GB 384-bit 21 GT/s GDDR6X||450W||$1,599|
|GeForce RTX 4080||AD103||9728||16GB 256-bit 22.4 GT/s GDDR6X||320W||$1,199|
|GeForce RTX 4070 Ti||AD104||7680||12GB 192-bit 21 GT/s GDDR6X||285W||$799|
|GeForce RTX 4070||AD104||5888 (?)||12GB 192-bit 21 GT/s GDDR6X||250W (?)||?|
|GeForce RTX 4060 Ti||AD106||4352 (?)||8GB 128-bit 18 GT/s GDDR6||160W (?)||<$500?|
|GeForce RTX 3070||GA104||5888||8GB 256-bit 14 GT/s GDDR6||220W||$499|
For 10GB, an AD104-based product would have to go down to a 160-bit memory interface, which is possible, but which will lower memory bandwidth. Meanwhile, the AD104 physically does not have a 256-bit memory interface to support a 16GB configuration without using an extravagant memory organization.
For now, it looks like Gigabyte listed different versions of GeForce RTX 4070 because Nvidia either considers or considered various configurations of GeForce RTX 4070 product, including a 10GB and a 12GB verson. Meanwhile, it is impossible for an AD104-based product to support 16GB of memory with its 192-bit memory interface without using a fancy memory organization and possibly repeating the GeForce RTX 970 4GB fiasco, at least based on what we know about the AD104.
While all of GeForce RTX 4070 boards with different memory configs might join the ranks of some of the best graphics cards available, it looks like only 12GB version will make it to the market. Still, we will have to wait until later this year (possibly April) to find out.
Though most likely, it could also be a TYPO error on Gigabyte's website, or a placeholder for the upcoming RTX 4060 Ti and RTX 4060 SKUs on a different bus width/VRAM config(despite the model name being displayed as RTX 4070 on Gigabyte's page).
But the most possible explanation would be that Nvidia might have dropped/cancelled some of these planned SKUs, IMO. Because, it's going to get confusing for end users for sure if the RTX 4070 comes out in 3 different VRAM configurations.
PG141-SKU343 RTX 4070 Reference Edition AD104-250-A1 PG141-SKU344 RTX 4070 Founders Edition AD104-250-A1 PG141-SKU345 RTX 4070 Reference Edition AD104-251-A1
However as per one report, AD104-250 & AD104-251 GPUs are virtually the same chip, and the latter isn't going to be featured on the RTX 4060 as we thought so.
Instead, the 251 designated chip will utilize a slightly different circuit board as pointed out by HKEPC, allowing for lower BOM costs (around $1 Less) & also helping to improve the power efficiency slightly. I doubt this will effect the VRAM config though.
I can't wait for the entry-level 4GB GT 4070, for a cool bargain price of $500
Who's to say that a 16GB RTX 4070 would be limited to the same terrible 192-bit bus width? I mean, there's no chance they would do it at this point since Jensen lost his mind and tried to get away with selling a product with a 192-bit RTX class memory bus as the "RTX 4080 12GB" ... But I bet Nvidia's engineers specced their original RTX 4070 design with the same 256-bit bus as every other RTX x070 card.
Look at the massive performance gap between the RTX 4090 and the RTX 4080 16GB. That giant performance hole could easily fit 2-3 intermediate SKUs. I think there's a very good chance that the RTX 4080 16GB was originally designed to be sold as a RTX 4070 16GB.
The way I see it, the holes in their lineup makes a lot more sense if the following late-stage brand changes are assumed:

17th March | Sundarpur Village, Varanasi District, Uttar Pradesh | Shabnam Begum
400 people from the slums in Sundarpur village are forced to defecate in the open though many have toilets in their houses. In 2013 many of these houses were constructed under the Kanshi Ram Rural Poor Housing Scheme. The scheme made compulsory the construction of toilets as well as sewer lines. As often is the case with schemes in India, the job was half done. With no sewage lines, the construction of toilets was an exercise in futility.
The community has tried several times to highlight their problems, they have taken to the roads in protest and written applications-- the results remain elusive. You can help them now.
Call to Action: Call the District Magistrate of Varanasi on +91 9454417579 and ask him to ensure that toilets and sewers are built in all houses in Nat Basti.

3B. These data demonstrate that NM-107 efficiently inhibits both gt1b replication (reduction of GFP expression) as well as gt2 infection (reduction of translocated RFP) without affecting cell growth even at high concentrations (EC100) (nuclear parameters measured
in blue channel were unchanged). From these various outputs of total cell number (SumCellNumber), percent of GFP expressing cells (AvgPercentCellGFP), and RFP translocation cells (Ratio), DRCs can be derived to assess cytotoxicity, gt1b RNA replication and gt2 HCVcc infection, Forskolin clinical trial respectively as illustrated in Fig. 3C for NM-107 and A-837093. Both gt1 RNA replication and gt2 HCVcc infection were inhibited by NM-107 treatment in dose dependent manner as shown in green and red, respectively. This antiviral effect was not related to cytotoxicity that started to be detectable only at the learn more highest compound concentrations (grey area in Fig. 3C). The EC50 of NM-107 was calculated from each DRC by non-linear regression analysis using Prism (GraphPad Software, Inc.) at 4.06 μM against gt1 RNA replication and 6.1 μM against gt2 HCVcc versus more than 300 μM for CC50 (cytotoxic concentration giving 50% cell death) (Fig. 3C). These values were comparable to published data (Bassit et al., 2008) and non-multiplexed assays using the gt1 replicon (4.46 ± 1.5 μM) or gt2 HCVcc (8.8 ± 2.2 μM). Likewise,
Urease a DRC analysis with A-837093 (Fig. 3C) resulted in dose dependent antiviral activity against gt1 replicons but not against gt2 HCVcc as shown
by decreased GFP expression and unchanged RFP localization respectively (Fig. 3C lower chart). We tested several HCV inhibitors which have different mode of action to demonstrate that this assay is suitable to identify inhibitors targeting various steps in the viral life cycle (Fig. 3C table). Telaprevir, a NS3-4A protease inhibitor (Selleck Chemicals, USA) (Lin et al., 2006), GS-7977, a NS5B inhibitor (Medchem Express, China) (Murakami et al., 2010 and Sofia et al., 2010), LY-411575, a late step inhibitor (BOC Science, USA) (Wichroski et al., 2012), and an antibody serving as an entry inhibitor by targeting CD81 (BD Bioscience, USA) were tested by 10-points DRC analysis as described above. EC50 values of each inhibitor are comparable with previously reported data. In addition, we observed couple phenotype which is the result of primarily infection and cell division during the 72 h assay period in late step inhibitor treatment (Fig. 3D). The multiplex system presented here facilitates the simultaneous evaluation of not only antiviral activity and cytotoxicity but also provides basic mechanistic information. This strategy is time and cost effective, as more information can be acquired in comparison with classical assays using a single readout (e.g. luciferase values). Importantly, our multiplex assay is compatible with HTS.

In 1987, Continental and Scott entered negotiations to supply and distribute hotel amenity products. Continental was to supply the products to Scott and Scott would then distribute the products around the United States. Beginning in May 1987, Scott representatives prepared at least five drafts of a written “Supply and Distribution Agreement” which was then presented to Continental for further negotiations. In July 1987, Scott announced internally that an agreement in principle had been reached with Continental. The parties’ continued to exchange phone calls and have meetings through July and August. Continental representatives believed that a binding oral contract was reached during a telephone conference on either August 25 or August 26, 1987 and that Scott’s representative’s would memorialize the contract in a written document. Scott representatives, however, never intended to be bound by an oral agreement. Scott representatives sent a copy of a written “Supply and Distribution Agreement” stamped “DRAFT” to Continental. The document also bore a stamp which said “REC’D SEP 02 1987.” While the document bore the signature of Scott’s Vice President, the “Commencement Date” was left blank and was never signed by Continental. The parties met again on September 9th and 10th to discuss the venture and, following those meetings, another revised copy of the Agreement was presented to Continental. On September 16, the parties met for a final time at which time a Scott representative informed Continental that Scott was no longer interested in the venture and terminated any further discussions.

Titanium Castings for Marine Propellers
Due to its high strength-to-weight ratio and excellent seawater corrosion resistance, titanium is an attractive material of construction for marine propellers. For an application such as the complicated configuration of a propeller, the casting process would be the most economical, if not the only practical, means of producing the part. However, there is very little information relative to one important property of concern for this application, the corrosion fatigue strength of cast titanium. An investigation is now in progress at the Naval Ship Research and Development Center, Annapolis, Maryland aimed at determining the feasibility of the use of cast titanium for hydrofoil craft propellers. This paper describes one phase of this investigation, a study of the corrosion fatigue properties of cast titanium. The areas covered include

Graphic Medicine: Using Comics to Educate Patients, Share Experiences
Graphic novels serve as unique patient education tools and methods of expression
By Megan Murdock Krischke, contributor
A creative new tool is being brought into the realm of health care and has benefits for patients, caregivers and health care providers alike. The tool: comics, or the graphic novel. In this scenario, the genre is less about humor and more about patient education and sharing health-related experiences.
“There are a number of answers to why comics, or graphic novels, are so useful in a health care setting,” began M.K. Czerwiec, RN, MA, artist-in-residence at Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago. “One that is on my mind now is that they use story. People can relate to a story and it helps integrate complex information--story helps get the message across if it is done right.”
“Comics are visual and textual, so that helps with accessibility,” Czerwiec continued. “And it is appealing. There is the way it feels to read a graphic novel; we read them as kids, we feel safe with comics, even though a lot of the material deals with difficult things, it can feel safe as a format. Additionally, there is some evidence that it can help with language and literacy barriers.”

“Comics can give multiple perspectives, even on one page sometimes,” added Juliet McMullin, PhD, associate professor of anthropology at University of California, Riverside. The power of text and images together gives people so much more to think about--there is something to being able to see people’s experiences in relation to objects and other people.”
Juliet McMullin, PhD, associate professor of anthropology, says comics in medicine offer a depth of understanding and perspectives that plain text often can't.
“Comics are more than just informational and getting out the public health information,” she continued. “A lot of people think of comics as ‘dumbing down’, but it actually opens up the world and shows things from a different perspective. It is a serious genre that has a lot of potential.”
Patient education is one aspect of this larger field called graphic medicine, but it also goes beyond that. Many graphic novels are autobiographical in nature--the author reflecting on their experience of illness or caregiving. These types of novels can help patients and caregivers to have a deeper understanding of what they are going through and to feel less alone.
MK Czerwiec, RN, MA, a.k.a. The Comic Nurse, says that drawing can be therapeutic for patients and caregivers. Image used with permission from comicnurse.com
While comics can address a broad range of medical experiences, Czerwiec noted that there is currently a lot of material focusing on diabetes, mental health issues, cancer, and elder care/dealing with aging parents. “These novels aren’t just useful for patients, but also for health care professionals. Reading them gives professionals a deeper understanding of their patients and what their lives and their experience of illness are beyond the hospital. And they are much more engaging that a plain text explanation might be.”
“Another benefit graphic novels are bringing to health care professionals is a way to unpack their experience as providers, which can be emotional and complex,” she continued. “There are things we learn by drawing that we don’t learn by thinking or writing. At the end of my book, The Graphic Medicine Manifesto, there is a chapter, ‘The Crayon Revolution,’ where I help providers think through how they can use drawing as a way of processing and coping with the more difficult realities of their work…You might be surprised at what drawing will open up for you.”
Graphic medicine conference and resources
McMullin and Czerwiec are both organizers of the 6th International Conference on Comics and Medicine that will be held July 16-18, 2015 at University of California, Riverside.
“The conference attendees are a very multidisciplinary and very welcoming group. There are a number of nurses involved and I’d love to have more nurses join us this year,” stated Czerwiec.
In addition to the conference there are some online resources for nurses looking to integrate comics into their practice. The first, GraphicMedicine.org provides links to recent comics, reviews of graphic novels and a searchable database of graphic medicine resources. The second is Czerwiec’s site, ComicNurse.com, where she posts some of her comics and writes

Student Oscar Semifinalist All Set To Show Her Documentary On The Big Stage
Mahnoor Zaidi, an aspiring film maker and a recent graduate of York Film School in Canada, will be having a screening for her latest documentary “Dust to Dust” on this coming Sunday in Lahore – It underscores the life of a gravedigger; an individual who performs the formidable task of creating the final resting place for the soulless body of a human being.
The film was featured in the semi-finals of the student Oscars and won Best Documentary at Cineseige Toronto.
Since Zaidi is also a director at ProperGaanda, we were lucky to have an exclusive viewing ourselves and rest assured it surpassed our expectations. Mahnoor tells a different story, one we are not commonly used to hearing. She talks about a gravedigger and his life. What intrigued me most about it that it’s not a critique or support of what the man does but rather his journey. It’s an important reflection on how we perceive life.
Zaidi is no newbie to the media industry, at the young age of 24 she has already worked with big names like Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy and Sarmad Khoosat. Her story is an inspiring one for everyone who dreams to pursue his or her passion-but usually due to family or societal pressure backs off.
What’s more satisfying is seeing young filmmakers getting support from institutions to promote their work. Mahnoor’s documentary which will be screened on 17th December, Sunday in Lahore is sponsored by JS Bank and Nurpur.
We definitely urge all aspiring film makers to come and show their support on the 17th of December! You can find further details about the event below by clicking here.

LaGrange falls to Cartersville
Published 7:04 pm Sunday, January 7, 2018
By Kevin Eckleberry
It was there for the taking.
Facing a state-ranked Cartersville squad, the LaGrange Grangers had a four-point lead with a little more than two minutes remaining in Saturday’s Region 5-AAAA home showdown.
A 10-0 run gave the Purple Hurricanes the lead, though, and they held on for a 64-60 victory.
LaGrange (10-6 overall) fell to 1-2 in the region, while Cartersville (10-2 overall) improved to 3-0 in region play.
LaGrange, which was coming off a 55-41 loss to Cedartown on Friday, delivered a strong performance against Cartersville, but it wasn’t enough.
“We bounced back from last night where we didn’t play well,” LaGrange head coach Mark Veal said. “We put ourselves in a great position to win against a good team and just came up short.”
Bo Russell completed a three-point play with 2:19 remaining to give LaGrange a 58-54 lead, but Cartersville scored the next 10 points to take control.
LaGrange didn’t score again until Russell made a layup with two seconds remaining after the outcome had been determined.
“We had some turnovers down the stretch, and they capitalized,” Veal said.
Russell, who is having a huge senior season, led LaGrange with 27 points while making three 3-pointers.
Daz Williams made a pair of 3-pointers and scored 12 points, and Jordan Ogletree also had 12 points.
TJ Horton paced Cartersville with 25 points, with 11 of those points coming during the fourth quarter.
Cartersville enjoyed a massive advantage at the free-throw line.
The Purple Hurricanes were 19-of-25 from the free-throw line, while the Grangers attempted nine free throws and made seven of them.
The Grangers had a 34-29 lead at the half, and they were ahead by as many as 13 points in the third quarter.
Ogletree made back-to-back baskets to cap a 7-0 run and give the Grangers a 51-38 lead, and the Purple Hurricanes scored the next four points to get within nine heading to the fourth quarter.
The Purple Hurricanes got as close as one before Russell scored and was fouled with 2:19 remaining, and he converted the free throw to give the Grangers a 58-54 lead.
A Horton 3-pointer moments later got the Purple Hurricanes within one, and they took the lead with 1:46 remaining and pulled away from there.
LaGrange will look to bounce back on Tuesday when it hosts Troup in a region game.

For much of the past year, as Southwest Florida was blanketed by the stench of red tide, public officials heard one loud demand from coastal communities: “Do something!”
What they meant was, “Make it stop!”
But that wasn’t possible, and it may never be possible, given that red tide is an explosive bloom of algae that exists naturally in the Gulf.
Huge fish kills, believed to have been caused by red tide blooms, were first recorded in these parts by Spanish sailors about the time Miguel de Cervantes wrote “Don Quixote.” “Stopping” it may be an impossible dream.
Or not. We don’t really know.
The grassroots message to public leaders in fuller expression was, “Do something to make this stop or be less intense for shorter periods in the future.”
Again, we don’t know if that’s feasible. It may well be that more-intense and longer-lasting blooms of Karenia brevis toxins are caused by nutrient pollution — leaking septic tanks, sewage treatment plant overflows and/or the run-off of agricultural and landscape fertilizer. Research suggests those are contributing causes.
It also may be that the circulation of ocean currents contributes to long, intense red tides. A study released last month by a University of South Florida marine science physicist suggests last year’s red tide began deep in mid-Gulf, where Karenia brevis grew in relatively nutrient-free water, and then was carried by an “upswelling” pattern into the Gulf current loop. Near shore they bloomed in nutrient-rich waters.
The scientist, Bob Weisberg, said his research may allow him to predict whether we’ll see more of the same in the coming year. He expects to make an announcement in June.
We can’t break down true cause and effect by guesswork, only by deep scientific research like Weisberg’s. That is why recent action by the Florida Legislature is significant.
In a 112-1 vote, the House passed a bill that designates $3 million for red tide research annually for the next six years. The bill passed the Senate and is expected to be signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis.
The legislation was sponsored by two local legislators — freshman Sen. Joe Gruters, R-Sarasota, and Rep. Michael Grant, R-Port Charlotte. No surprise it won strong backing from all legislators from the region most affected by the recent outbreak. Most impressive was the margin of victory and the recognition from all that “something” needed to be done.
The response may not be as dramatic as many would like, but the research is critical for real, fact-based approaches in the future.
The legislation will create the Florida Red Tide Mitigation and Technology Development Initiative, a collaboration between Mote Marine Laboratory of Sarasota and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission’s Research Institute, based in St. Petersburg. Its goal is to develop technologies and tactics to control and mitigate blooms. Annual reports will be filed.
This is an important step. The last red tide had a devastating impact on wildlife, on people who live near the shoreline and people who visit our beaches, as well as the region’s overall economy. We need science to determine causes and strategies to prevent and mitigate the outbreaks. That’s the essential foundation for development of future public policies.

The New York-based band Living Colour is currently on their world tour and one of the stops of this tour will be at the Palac Akropolis in Prague. Living Colour is a band that managed to make hard rock sound interesting again in the late eighties by mixing it with funk influences. Living Colour is a unique band of talented and hyperactive musicians and is one of the founders of the style of funk metal. The band started in 1983 in New York playing an exciting fusion of hard rock, funk, jazz and Hip Hop. After initial lack of media exposure the band reached massive success. In 1989 Living Colour won a Grammy award for its smash hit "Cult of Personality". The same year the band also won the MTV award for "Best New Artist". A year later the band received another Grammy for their "Time is Up" album. The band split up in 1995 but got together again five years later and has been active ever since. The current line up is Vermon Reid on the guitar, Will Calhoun on the drums, Corey Glover provides the vocals and Doug Wimbish plays the bass guitar. The Prague show which will start on the 25th of November at 7:30 pm at Palac Akropolis will be quite extraordinary since it will be the international release party for Living Colour's new CD called The Chair in the Doorway which was almost completely recorded in the Sono Studios in Nouzov, Czech Republic.

Spokeswoman says Chicago Mayor is only granting interviews to black or brown reporters.
Chicago journalists are furious over Mayor Lightfoot’s new policy to only give 1 on 1 interviews to black or brown reporters. Chicago political reporter Mary Ann Ahern tweeted yesterday about Lightfoot’s hallway point in her first term as well as discussing her failed attempts to gain an interview with the mayor.
As the responses to Ahern’s tweet poured in, it became clear that Ahern wasn't the only one. Dozens of other journalists said they had the same experience.
"I was told the same thing," WTTW Chicago Tonight anchor and correspondent Paris Schutz reacted to Ahern's tweet.
"I can confirm," Chicago politics reporter Heather Cherone similarly tweeted.
Even news agencies whose reporters have been granted interviews are upset. Gregory Pratt, a Chicago Tribune reporter who is Latino, said he was one of the journalists who had been granted an interview. However, when the Mayor’s new policy came to light he asked her to lift the ban on other reporters. When she refused, Pratt said the Tribune canceled the interview.
Today, Lightfoot confirmed that she was, in fact, intentionally prioritizing reporters of color when it came to access to City Hall. Forced to address her decision this morning, Lightfoot tried to justify it saying it was a shame that in 2021 the majority of reported covering Chicago city government were white.
In a series of tweets, Lightfoot stated, “I ran to break up the status quo that was failing so many. That isn't just in City Hall. It's a shame that in 2021, the City Hall press corps is overwhelmingly white in a city where more than half of the city identifies as black, Latino, AAPI or Native American.
“Diversity and inclusion is imperative across all institutions including media. In order to progress we must change.
“This is exactly why I'm being intentional about prioritizing media requests from POC reporters on the occasion of the two-year anniversary of my inauguration as mayor of this great city.
“This is an imbalance that needs to change. Chicago is a world-class city. Our local media should reflect the multiple cultures that comprise it. We must be intentional about doing better. I believed that when running for office. I stand on this belief now. It's time for the newsrooms to do better and build teams that reflect the make-up of our city.”
Some couldn’t believe this news could be true. Alderman George Cardenas (12th Ward) responded with disbelief, tweeting, "how is that even true, be serious.” When several journalists confirmed the report, Calderas stated, “This should be corrected.”
Since the announcement of Lightfoot’s race-based access policy for reporters some have suggesting the policy is actionable wondering if the media is prepared to sue Lightfoot over her discriminatory interview policy.
The use of race-based criteria normally violates anti-discrimination laws. Lightfoot, has warned businesses that she will not tolerate any race-based discrimination. At the same time, many are saying that despite the fact that the reporters do not work for her, this is exactly what she is doing.
Because anti-discrimination laws were enacted to prevent discrimination against groups that were historically disadvantaged and denied opportunities in the workplace, there is sometimes a perception that the same laws do not protect members of majority groups. However, anti-discrimination laws prohibit all forms of discrimination based on protected characteristics, including race, regardless of whether a person belongs to a majority group.
It's unclear when the Chicago Mayor began limiting one-on-one interviews to journalists of color and whether the policy applies only to local reporters. On Monday, the mayor was interviewed by MSNBC's Stephanie Ruhle, a white reporter. However, it’s possible that non-local reporters scheduled interviews with Lightfoot longer in advance than local reporters, given that non-local media outlets likely need more time to determine the balance of news from different areas.

Asian Americans Advancing Justice Strongly Opposes Anti-Immigrant Bill to Slash Greencards and End Family Immigration
Michelle Boykins (202) 296-2300, ext. 0144 email@example.com
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, President Trump announced support for Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) and Senator David Perdue’s (R-GA) updated restrictionist anti-immigrant bill, the RAISE Act, that would upend the immigration system to further a white nationalist agenda and move the country in the wrong direction.
Asian Americans Advancing Justice issued the following statement in response to this harmful proposal:
“Asian Americans Advancing Justice is outraged that this anti-immigrant bill is being supported by President Trump. The American public should not be fooled by the labeling of this bill as ‘merit-based.’ The clear goal of this bill is to reduce the number of immigrants to the United States.
We remind the country that the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 was a civil rights act that overturned the racist quota system that gave preference to Northern and Western European immigrants. Immigration to the U.S. since the passage of that Act is responsible for the vibrant and diverse country that we have today. To end that system would be a grave mistake harming the very soul of our Nation.
Two-thirds of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders are immigrants, and 92 percent of Asian Americans are immigrants or the children of immigrants. The vast majority of Asian immigrants have come to the U.S. through the family-based immigration system, and many Asian immigrants that come on employment-based visas also use the family-based system to reunite with family members.
Our immigration system should continue to value families. Instead, the RAISE Act proposes to decimate the family-based immigration system, keeping families separated and preventing immigrant communities from taking root.
The RAISE Act is part of a larger strategy to scapegoat immigrants and further marginalize people of color. Contrary to the xenophobic and misguided stereotypes that belie the RAISE Act, immigrants contribute immensely to our economy, create jobs for all Americans, and increase safety in our communities. Our government should focus on policy solutions that promote economic security and prosperity for all members of our society. We will fight against this attack on our families and communities.”

| Windfield chapter 1 . 9/13/2007
Congratulations, dear. You are officially my new favourite author. This is a great piece of work. A true gem.
I love every bit of the descriptions that you made. You described every single thing that happened; from the characters' expressions whenever they talk to the surrouding environment. I especially loved the way you described Knuckles' anger. There is more to him than just a frown. There is the punching on the fist when Knuckles got mad. The fists clenching. The demand for an explanation. The cold silence when he was clueless. The in-depth thoughts about himself. And then, there is the sense of pity that Knuckles felt for Shatter. The decriptions just plainly described who Knuckles really is. It gives the impression and a lasting impact in telling the readers that there is more to Knuckles than a heartless echidna.
Both Shatter and Anais appear to be quite interesting characters. I mainly am interested in Shatter. Would be hard to write about someone who is so... so empty with feelings. Yet, you handled him well.
Personally, I did think that you handled Sonic's emotions pretty well too. The sense of betrayal that he felt. His uncertainty and his frustrations.
I am in awe of you.
This is really a powerful, emotional story. A worthy read for anybody.

Gaza journalist killed by Israel was detained, beaten by Hamas in 2015: IFJ
Demonstrators treat Palestinian journalist Yasser Murtaja, who later died from his wounds, after he was shot by Israeli security forces during protests along the Gaza-Israel border on April 6, 2018
A Palestinian reporter killed last week by Israeli fire was detained and beaten by Hamas security forces in 2015, a global journalist body said Wednesday, after Israel accused him of being a member of the Islamist group.
Yasser Murtaja was shot dead during clashes on the Gaza border Friday while, witnesses said, wearing a press vest, leading to criticism of Israel's open-fire policy.
Israel's Defence Minister Avigdor Lieberman on Tuesday accused the journalist of being an active member of Hamas, Gaza's Islamist rulers, with which the Jewish state has fought three wars in a decade.
Lieberman claimed the 30-year-old had received a salary since 2011 and held a rank similar to captain in Hamas's armed wing, but provided no evidence for the claims.
A case file from the International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) documented how Murtaja was detained and beaten by Hamas security forces in 2015 while filming.
The file, seen by AFP, said Murtaja and three other colleagues were filming the demolition of a home near the Israeli border when a man demanded to see their documents.
After they refused, a jeep belonging to the Hamas security forces arrived and "pulled the photographer Yasser Murtaja into their jeep without explaining what was going on."
It said inside the van he was beaten by Hamas police, leading to his eventual hospitalisation. After an interrogation, his photographs were eventually seized.
Murtaja and the other journalists were interviewed by an IFJ researcher at the time, the file said.
IFJ general secretary Anthony Bellanger accused Lieberman of a cover-up.
"It is clear that having murdered a journalist the Israeli defence minister is more interested in spouting propaganda and engaging in a cover-up than in carrying out a thorough and transparent investigation and bringing Yasser´s killers to justice," he said in a statement.
Israeli forces have killed 31 Palestinians and wounded hundreds others since March 30 as mass protests along the Gaza border have led to clashes.
There have been no Israeli casualties.
Israel says its forces have opened fire to stop attempts to damage the fence, infiltrations, bids to carry out attacks and at those seeking to harm soldiers.

Huobi Group, one of the world’s leading blockchain asset financial service providers, announced on June 28, 2018, that it is opening an office in London. This announcement came soon after the group revealed additional details on two of their upcoming service offerings – Huobi OTC and Huobi Quant Trading on July 2, 2018, Financial IT reports.
Furthermore, they announced two senior appointments. Namely, Lester Li will assume the position of European Exchange Director, while Josh Goodbody will be carrying out the tasks of General Counsel and Chief Compliance Officer at Huobi UK.
This is all happening at a moment when Huobi is experiencing a rapid expansion in Europe and when there is a high demand from the crypto trading community.
What Is Huobi OTC?
The people at Huobi designed the OTC and Quant Trading services specifically with master crypto-traders in mind. Huobi OTC, the “over-the-counter” service that is for all those who intend to trade a large amount of cryptocurrency, will begin beta testing in the UK in Q3 2018.
Trading large amounts of virtual currency in this way is much safer than on an exchange. Huobi OTC, for instance, shields all parties from price instability in the market-at-large during the transaction, the company explained in its press release.
Another perk of using Huobi OTC service is that it will have a zero percent commission fee, meaning it is completely free for transactions. As a reminder, other main OTC platforms charge for their services.
“Huobi has pioneered this type of service, as we believe OTC trading is a key ancillary service within the cryptocurrency trading space. This service is aimed to protect users against price volatility, providing the route to minimize risk in large volume transactions. Huobi’s commitment to this tool is the reason why we will be providing it on a zero fee basis,” Goodbody told BTCManager.
Huobi’s goal it to make virtual currencies more accessible to the public by providing a more straightforward OTC platform with no transaction costs. The people behind Huobi unveiled the extension of their OTC service to the European market at the Quant Trading Summits in London and Amsterdam in June 2018, which gathered more than 200 crypto-traders well versed in the business.
What about Huobi Quant Trading Service?
Huobi OTC compliments its Quant Trading Service. This service refers to quantitative trading, which is one of the various popular strategies used to manage crypto trades. The quantitative analysis that this strategy uses facilitates the discovery of trading opportunities, which demand execution by an automated system because of their complexity.
The Huobi Quant Trading will allow the investors to take advantage of the functions of arbitrage, market making, and trend predictions.
According to the company, another advantage of quantitative trading is that emotion is absent from the trading process.
Why an Office in London?
First and foremost, Huobi’s presence in London will facilitate better access to European financial markets and will make it possible for UK-based blockchain and cryptocurrency unicorn companies to benefit from Huobi Labs and the Huobi Ecosystem Fund.
The group chose London as the seat of the first office in Europe because it is a global financial center and the largest crypto trading center in the region. Moreover, it is well-known for its gigantic active blockchain community and rapidly developing market.
“The launch of Huobi Group’s office in London is in response to the high demand we have seen in Europe, which was perfectly illustrated this month with huge turnouts at our Amsterdam and London quant trading summits. Our OTC and Quant Trading services are significant enhancements to the Huobi product suite, and we look forward to rolling out other services to improve the trading experience for Huobi customers in the future,” Lester Li, Director of Huobi Exchange, explained.
Huobi Group has served millions of users in over 130 countries and regions to take part in crypto markets, with offices in Singapore, South Korea, Hong Kong, the United States, and many others.
The post Huobi Launches OTC Trading Service and Office in London appeared first on BTCMANAGER.

[Stay on top of transportation news: Get TTNews in your inbox.]
Knight-Swift Transportation Holdings Inc. officials reported $74.6 million in net income for the quarter ended Sept. 30, a decrease of 29.5% from $105.9 million in the same period a year before, according to an Oct. 23 earnings news release.
Company officials said a softer freight environment negatively impacted results during the third quarter, partly because of an oversupply of truckload capacity in the freight market.
Earnings per share were 44 cents, down 26.7% from 60 cents for the third quarter of 2018.
The Phoenix-based truckload carrier reported revenues dropped 10.8% to $1.2 billion from $1.35 billion a year before.
The freight market’s slowdown put pressure on the trucking segment’s revenue per loaded mile at Knight-Swift, which decreased by 2.7% from the third quarter of 2018, officials said.
Revenue for the trucking segment was $876.4 million, down 6.4% from $936.3 million a year before.
Company officials also said they saw increased competition in the intermodal market, which led to a 10.3% reduction in volume and 6.8% less revenue per load year-over-year.
Company officials said intermodal revenue was $108.8 million, down 16.4% from $130.1 million.
Those factors led to the overall decrease in revenue, company officials said.
Knight-Swift officials said they expect a seasonal improvement in demand during the fourth quarter of 2019, but less robust than originally anticipated. The company also predicted a more favorable freight environment in the second half of 2020.
The company said it would not let up on cost control.
Knight-Swift ranks No. 5 on the Transport Topics Top 100 list of the largest for-hire carriers in North America.

Nearly two million people experimented with meth in 2017. Meth addiction is a life-threatening issue, but treatments are available.
What is Methamphetamine?
Methamphetamine is a controlled substance often abused in the United States and around the world. While it has many street names, which will be discussed later on, it is most commonly known as meth. In 2016, at least 1.6 million people reported having used meth in some way at least once throughout the year.1 Meth addiction is a severe problem, and if you or someone close to you is struggling with this disorder, seek help.
What Does Meth Look Like?
Meth commonly comes in the form of a fine white powder. While it is odorless, it has a distinct bitter taste and is easily dissolved. This quick-dissolving form allows it to be mixed with alcohol and water and either consumed or injected. It can also be snorted.
While snorting or injecting meth is the most common way to use it, other methods and forms exist, such as different colors or even pill forms.2 In addition, crystal meth has a different appearance than normal meth.
Meth vs. Crystal Meth
Chemically, meth and crystal meth are identical. In fact, the only difference between the two substances is appearance and usage. Whereas meth is a fine white powder that is easily dissolved, crystal meth comes in large chunks that must be broken down into smaller pieces.
A Further Look at Methamphetamine
What is Crystal Meth?
Crystal meth is a form of methamphetamine that appears as a large rock or crystal, hence its name. Unlike regular meth, which is often snorted or injected after being dissolved, crystal meth is usually smoked. This use method is due to its ability to break or flake off into smaller pieces.
Methamphetamine is a central nervous system stimulant. It can act as a catalyst for certain body conditions, including the production of certain brain chemicals, which can cause an increase in chemicals, especially dopamine.
Methamphetamine is a Schedule II substance3. This fact means that although it has a medical use, mainly in the treatment of certain disorders such as ADHD and narcolepsy, it also has been determined to have a high risk for abuse.
As an illicit substance, there are many street names available for this substance. Some of the most common meth street names include
- White cross
What Causes Addiction?
As of now, scientists have been unable to determine a single causer responsible for addiction, though there are many theories about what may increase an individual’s risk. Many of these factors pertain to both a person’s genetics and environment, which may contribute to meth addiction.
Access to the Drug
Accessibility is one of the leading causes of drug abuse and consequently meth addiction. Increased access to the substance allows for more frequent and higher doses, causing greater dependency.
The genetic source of meth addiction has long been discussed and studied. As of now, scientists are working to determine which genes create a higher vulnerability for substance abuse disorders and addiction. Family history also plays a role in the development of addiction, both from a genetic perspective as well as an environmental perspective.4
Environmental factors impact addiction in many ways. First, a family history of alcohol addiction has a greater chance of creating higher risks in an individual. Environmental factors can also pertain to increased access to substances such as meth.5 Certain environments can also influence someone to use substances.
Side Effects of Meth Use
Meth effects and signs of meth addiction can manifest in both physical and psychological forms.
- Weight loss
- Meth mouth
- Dry mouth
- Decreased appetite
- Increased heart rate
Meth directly impacts the central nervous system, including the brain, which can cause issues including:
- Decreased memory
- Poor judgment
Meth can also change behavior. Common effects include:
- Decreased hygiene
- Personality changes
How is Meth Used?
Meth addiction is caused by substance abuse, though the form of abuse can vary. For meth, in particular, there are three many methods of misuse.
- Snorting Meth: Snorting meth involves inhaling the raw powder through the nose. It increases the rate of absorption while also increasing the risk of side effects.
- Shooting Up Meth: Shooting up meth involves dissolving the powder into water or a similar substance and injecting it intravenously. It increases the likelihood of infection as well as can spread disease.
- Smoking Meth: Smoking is most seen with crystal meth. It can increase the risk of respiratory infections and disorders.
Signs of Methamphetamine Use
Recognizing the signs of methamphetamine use can be one of the first steps in identifying a meth use disorder. These signs can appear in many forms, and not all will show at the same time.
Over time, methamphetamine abuse can cause a general decline in one’s overall health. These issues include phenomena such as meth mouth, which will be discussed later, as well as weight loss.
Other physical signs of methamphetamine use include:
- Chronic nose bleeds
- Weight loss
- Facial acne
- Signs of injection
Meth addiction can cause a variety of mood changes, including new mood swings. It can also cause euphoria, agitation, and even depression depending on the time between doses.
Meth mouth, also known as meth teeth, is one of the more noticeable signs of meth addiction.
This phenomenon refers to the increased dental decay that often occurs with meth addiction and abuse. Meth mouth usually occurs as a result of a combination of meth effects, including behavioral change such as hygiene negligence as well as physical symptoms like dry mouth.6
Meth can cause picking or scratching, especially when larger amounts are taken. This habit can lead to the development of sores and other open wounds. Injection can also increase the frequency of sores appearing. Injection meth sores will normally be found on the arms and thighs.
What Does Meth Smell Like?
Meth is usually odorless. If it has been mixed with another substance, though, it may have a slight smell, including a chemical scent.
Methamphetamine Side Effects
Meth side effects can occur whenever the drug is abused. Some of the common meth side effects are included below.
Some of the short-term meth side effects include:
- Increased blood rate
- Feelings of euphoria or grandeur
- Mood swings
Long-term meth effects occur with routine abuse. These effects can relate to the method of abuse, such as respiratory or sinus issues depending on smoking or snorting. They can also occur as a result of cumulative strain on the body, such as chronic overdose.
Meth psychosis is one of the more dangerous meth side effects. Psychosis can occur for many different reasons, including mental health disorders.
Regardless of its cause or trigger, psychosis can be dangerous not only for an individual but for those around them. This condition can cause hallucinations, anxiety, and paranoia that creates an unsafe environment.
An overdose can occur with both infrequent and frequent drug abuse. A meth overdose happens any time the body is exposed to too high of a dose, whether that be at once (acute) or over time (chronic). An overdose is a medical emergency that requires immediate attention.
Meth withdrawal symptoms occurs as the body begins to metabolize and eliminate the remaining traces of the substance, such as during detox. As the body begins to revert to its natural chemistry, it can cause meth withdrawal symptoms such as depression, which is a result of the drop in dopamine.
Meth withdrawal can be dangerous if undergone at home. The intense cravings that often come with it can lead to higher levels of abuse, which can increase the risk for overdose. Several physical and psychological symptoms can cause intense discomfort and may require additional treatment for increased rates of successful treatment.
Meth Addiction Treatment
Meth addiction can damage relationships and place people at greater risks of injury, including meth overdose or even death. However, there are many meth addiction treatments available to aid in recovery and provide support during withdrawal while also designing a long-term plan for continued treatment and relapse prevention.
Common Behavioral Therapies for Meth Addiction
While many behavioral therapies exist to treat meth addiction, there are also many forms of counseling. While therapy approaches addiction from a medical standpoint, counseling is focused on guided talk with the patient as the center.
Examples of counseling include family counseling to mend connections and discuss possible history, 12-step programs, and support groups to build a healthy system for patients to reach out to.
CBT refers to cognitive-behavioral therapy. It is a form of psychotherapy designed to help a patient evaluate and correct dangerous thought patterns and behaviors by rewiring potentially damaged brain reward pathways.
Medication-assisted treatment is a type of pharmacotherapy that uses medicine to aid in blocking the effects of meth and reducing drug withdrawal symptoms.
The Matrix model is a newer form of behavioral treatment. It is a combination of several beneficial forms and aspects of treatment, including therapy, counseling, and relapse prevention.
In many cases, intervention may be the first step in seeking meth addiction treatment. Its purpose is to highlight the problem while also detailing the risks of substance abuse disorders. Many times, close family members and friends are included during the intervention to build a support system.
Inpatient rehab provides a safe environment as well as constant access to care and support while seeking treatment. It is usually short-term and occurs in a rehabilitation facility.
Outpatient rehab allows patients to continue their daily lives while seeking the care they need. It is private and lets patients explore new perspectives and coping mechanisms as they learn them.

LANDLORDS will be hit by new European Union (EU) rules, according to a Yorkshire politician.
The European Parliament is due to vote early next year on a proposal to prevent landlords getting a buy-to-let mortgage based on rental income.
Yorkshire Euro-MP Godfrey Bloom opposes the plan.
The United Kingdom Independence Party man said yesterday: “It is outrageous that the EU should try to dictate to lenders and borrowers the basis on which loans should be enacted. This unwarranted assault on the buy-to-let market will inevitably result in less affordable rental housing. Many landlords use second properties to back up their pension”.

The event was Fanatic Fan Fest, but it might as well have been dubbed ‘Ben Simmons Love Fest.’
This past Saturday at XFINITY Live!, the 2018 Rookie of the Year was received like a rock star at the fifth annual end-of-summer party thrown by 97.5 The Fanatic, the 76ers’ flagship radio partner.
Throughout the afternoon, adoring chants followed Simmons wherever he went - on-stage for a raucous introduction, photo-ops with fans, or while he was on-air for an interview with Fanatic hosts Dei Lynam and Mike Missanelli.
“Coming here was really amazing,” Simmons said. “It’s an amazing event. I’m glad I’m here. It’s a really special time for Philly.”
Particularly now that the new season is fast approaching.
Simmons spent a good portion of his summer working out in Los Angeles, and recently made his way back East. The freshly-minted 22-year old point man hasn’t wasted any time getting into the gym at the Sixers’ training complex in Camden, NJ.
After more than holding his own at one of the sport's most physically and mentally demanding positions, Simmons is looking to build off the immense promise he displayed in his debut campaign.
Since the Sixers’ season ended in the second round of the playoffs, the Australian has been focused on “adding different pieces” to his game, with the goal ultimately being to help the Sixers go farther the next time around, even if that means venturing into previously uncharted territory.
“For me last season, I was trying to do what I was really good at - facilitating, getting guys involved, getting to the rim, and obviously making plays,” said Simmons.
Simmons’ numbers certainly validated his success in those areas. He finished fifth overall in the league with 8.2 assists per game, the eighth-highest rookie average in NBA history.
The 2016 no. 1 pick also proved to be a prolific, lane-attacking force. His 12.7 points in the paint per game ranked fourth behind Giannis Antetokounmpo’s average of 15.7, Anthony Davis’ 15.4, and LeBron James’ 14.4.
All things considered, the approach served him well, and the Sixers, too.
But like his teammates, coaches, management, and fans, Simmons wants more in year two. His off-season regimen was structured accordingly, with free throw and jump shooting being key points of emphasis.
“You’ve got to start slowly,” said Simmons, who shot 56.0 percent from the foul line, and scored 80.4 percent of his points in the paint (fifth-most in the NBA). “If it’s adding a free throw that gets up to 80.0 percent, that’s about five more points right there. If you add little things and keep adding over time, that’s how you become great.”
In respect to his jumper, Simmons noted on the Fanatic that there’s not only value to makes, but takes.
“If you take [jump shots], [teams] give you a little bit more respect, and you’re able to make more moves and dissect the defense,” Simmons said. “This summer, I’ve been working a lot on certain things that I’ll definitely use.”
And when it comes to deploying some of his refined skills, Simmons thinks he’ll be putting them to use on a team that, in his eyes, can be “much better” than it was last year.
“I’ve had one year of playing in the NBA, so for me personally, I know I have a lot more to give. I know where I’m at physically with my body, and I’m maturing a lot more. I’m really excited to get back on the floor.”
From the shadows of the arena where he and the Sixers orchestrated a massive turnaround amidst a memorable season, Simmons’ words sounded that much more inspiring.
We’ll soon find out just how much he and the club will reap the rewards of his summer diligence.

Feline Immunodeficiency Virus
Feline Immunodeficiency Virus, or FIV, is a retrovirus that infects felines only (it cannot spread to people, dogs or other animals). FIV is found around the world but is not as prevalent as the Feline Leukemia Virus. FIV is most common in adult, male cats that are allowed outdoors. Continue reading to learn more about this virus, how it’s transmitted, and how to protect your cat!
Feline Immunodeficiency Virus Transmission
FIV is a retrovirus that is spread primarily in the saliva by deep bite wounds. Rarely, the virus can spread to other cats in the same household that don’t fight with one another. Queens (mother cats) can infect their kittens in utero through the placenta or after the kittens are born and are nursing.
FIV Infection Stages
There are 4 main stages of infection caused by FIV and not all cats will develop each stage.
- Acute Stage: This begins shortly after infection, often within 1 to 2 weeks. Symptoms include fever, lethargy, and enlarged lymph nodes.
- Latent Stage: Infection becomes asymptomatic after the Acute Phase and can last for months to years.
- Acquired Immunodeficiency: Reduced immune function leading to increased risk of secondary infections and immune-mediated diseases. This stage often develops years after the initial infection.
- Terminal Phase: End-stage of infection and symptoms can include cancer formation, secondary infections, neurologic issues, etc. Once this stage develops, survival time is often just 2 to 3 months.
Diseases Caused By FIV and Symptoms to Monitor For
(please note, many of these are similar to Feline Leukemia Virus as most symptoms result from immunosuppression and secondary infections)
- Cancers, such as Lymphoma and Leukemia
- Low red blood cells (anemia) causing weakness, pale gums, and organ dysfunction
- Low platelets (thrombocytopenia) which can cause spontaneous bleeding or bruising
- Low white blood cell counts leading to increased infection risk, especially upper respiratory tract infections and potentially severe skin infections
- Kidney disease
- Eye changes such as glaucoma, inflammation in the eye chambers, conjunctivitis, and cataract formation
- Neurologic Disorders such as change in behavior, abnormal sleeping patterns, abnormal gait (walk), and seizures
- Diarrhea, weight loss, vomiting, reduce appetite
- Abortion or stillbirth
- Enlarged Lymph Nodes
- Severe gingivitis/stomatitis (oral inflammation)
- Bad breath (halitosis)
How does my vet test my cat for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus?
FIV Antigen Tests are the primary screening test for cats. This test detects the viral antigens, which typically increase about 60 days post-exposure, but can take as long as 120 days. If your cat was in a fight, if you just adopted a new cat or found a stray cat you decided to care for, you should get this test done twice, about 60 days apart, to avoid missing a recent infection.
PCR testing is another testing option and it screens for viral RNA. This test has been improved and is now just about as accurate as the FIV Antigen tests.
Western Blot is another type of test that detects antibodies to FIV. However, this test is not as accurate as the antigen tests and cannot differentiate between true infection and a cat that was vaccinated for FIV.
Routine blood work may show low red blood cells, low white blood cells, low platelets, and high globulins. These are not diagnostic for FIV but can give your vet needed information that screening for FIV and Feline Leukemia Virus is necessary.
Is there a treatment for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus?
There are some antiviral and immunomodulation treatments available; however, they are not cures. Cats can have severe side effects to many antiviral drugs, so be sure to discuss the pros and cons with your vet. The goal of these medications is to reduce clinical symptoms and increase survival times.
The most common antiviral is Zidovudine, or AZT. It is given twice daily and is most helpful in cats that have severe oral inflammation (stomatitis) or are showing neurologic symptoms.
How can I protect my cat from Feline Immunodeficiency Virus?
There is a vaccine available for FIV, but it isn’t entirely effective. There are 2 main mutations of FIV in the U.S., and the vaccine only includes one of those. If you have a cat that is outdoors only, gets into fights, or lives with a housemate that has FIV, this is still a good vaccine to consider. It’s given as an initial 2 set series over a month, then once yearly thereafter. Remember, the vaccine can cause some of the FIV tests to be positive!
If your cat does test positive for FIV and the test has been confirmed, keep your kitty indoors only to deter the further spread of the virus in the community. This will also keep your FIV-positive cat safer and healthier since they won’t be exposed to other viruses and infections.

Contribution of corticospinal drive to ankle plantar flexor muscle activation during gait in adults with cerebral palsy
Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review
Impaired plantar flexor muscle activation during push-off in late stance contributes importantly to reduced gait ability in adults with cerebral palsy (CP). Here we used low-intensity transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to suppress soleus EMG activity during push-off as an estimate of corticospinal drive in CP adults and neurologically intact (NI) adults. Ten CP adults (age 34 years, SD 14.6, GMFCS I-II) and ten NI adults (age 33 years, SD 9.8) walked on a treadmill at their preferred walking speed. TMS of the leg motor cortex was elicited just prior to push-off during gait at intensities below threshold for motor-evoked potentials. Soleus EMG from steps with and without TMS were averaged and compared. Control experiments were performed while standing and in NI adults during gait at slow speed. TMS induced a suppression at a latency of about 40 ms. This suppression was similar in the two populations when differences in control EMG and gait speed were taken into account (CP 18%, NI 16%). The threshold of the suppression was higher in CP adults. The findings suggest that corticospinal drive to ankle plantar flexors at push-off is comparable in CP and NI adults. The higher threshold of the suppression in CP adults may reflect downregulation of cortical inhibition to facilitate corticospinal drive. Interventions aiming to facilitate excitability in cortical networks may contribute to maintain or even improve efficient gait in CP adults.

Quaker State 400 Tonight
Published on June 29 2013 8:21 am
Last Updated on June 29 2013 8:21 am
Written by Greg Sapp
NASCAR returns to Kentucky Speedway for the Quaker State 400 tonight.
Brad Keselowski is the defending champion at the event, fresh off a win Friday night in the Nationwide race.
Jimmie Johnson currently holds a 25-point lead on Carl Edwards in the Chase. Clint Bowyer is third, followed by Kevin Harvick and Matt Kenseth. Keselowski is ninth in the standings.
Hear the action tonight on your home for NASCAR, KJ Country 102.3. Coverage will begin at 5:30pm.
After being declared the winner of Friday night's Feed the Children 300 NASCAR Nationwide Series race at Kentucky Speedway, 30 laps short of the scheduled finish, Keselowski did donuts on the frontstretch, minus the usual smoke because of the wet, slippery asphalt.
The win, heard on KJ Country, was by no means a fluke, because as the race progressed, Keselowski's car identified itself as the clear class of the field. He took the lead for good on Lap 156, seven laps before NASCAR called the final caution for rain.


Fan film writers and producers were following the lawsuit CBS and Paramount filed against the makers of the fan-funded film Star Trek: Axanar very closely. After months of legal wrangling and press releases from both parties, there has been news of a settlement.
Entertainment Weekly and Deadline are reporting that the two parties have agreed to a settlement in the case. The settlement would allow the film to be distributed for free in two 15 minute parts ad-free on YouTube, but only after significant changes are made to the film to remove anything CBS and Paramount might consider copyright infringement. Additionally, Axanar Productions and its founder Alec Peters agree to follow CBS and Paramount guidelines for any future fan films set in the Star Trek universe.
Both parties released a joint statement Friday with Peters admitting that elements of the film “were not approved by Paramount or CBS, and that both works crossed boundaries acceptable to CBS and Paramount relating to copyright law.” This refers to both the feature film Axanar and the short film Prelude to Axanar that was created to generate interest and funds through Kickstarter and Indiegogo.
This brings to end over a year of legal back and forth that put strain on the relationship between the Star Trek producers and its fans. Included in the joint statement, CBS and Paramount stated:
Paramount and CBS continue to be big believers in fan fiction and fan creativity. They encourage amateur filmmakers to showcase their passion for Star Trek. Paramount and CBS will not object to, or take legal action against, Star Trek fan productions that are non-professional, amateur, and otherwise meet the Guidelines, which can be found at http://www.startrek.com/fan-films. Paramount and CBS would like Star Trek fans, with their boundless creativity and passion, to “Live Long and Prosper.”
While there are many who believe that this is a victory for both sides, there are others who contend that the reason why CBS and Paramount were so eager to quash this film is because the plot, which takes place during the Four Year War between the Federation and the Klingon Empire, is the time period which the studios new show Star Trek: Discovery takes place.
Let us know what you think of the latest news in this case.
