NEW DELHI: Vacancies at various positions, including chairman, in the minority commission, SC and OBC commission led to repeated disruptions in the Rajya Sabha with the opposition blaming the government for not doing appointments intentionally.
The matter of appointments in minority commission was raised during Zero Hour by Congress member Narendra Budhania. He was soon joined by members from BSP, SP and Congress demanding that appointments in other statutory commissions are also pending over the last three years.
Minister of State for Minority Affairs Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said that the appointment in minority commission was in process but has to be stopped as Jain community wrote to the government for including their representative in the commission.
Congress leader Ahmed Patel said that the government can atleast appoint the chairman and members can be appointed later.
The opposition demanded the government to make a detailed statement as to why appointments are not being made. Members of the opposition party came into the well of the house shouting slogans that government is cheating with the people of minority community.
Efforts by the Rajya Sabha Deputy Chairman P J Kurien to pacify the protesting member failed and led to repeated adjournments in the house.
CPI(M) leader Sitaram Yechury said that the government has not made appointment in these institutions for long and that shows that it is not ‘maximum governance, minimum government’ as promised by the NDA government when it came to power.
Request by the chair that the minister has replied to the members’ question on appointment did not pacify the protesting members who continued with sloganeering. There was no business during the Question Hour as members continued with the demand that government should make a detailed statement on appointments.
BSP chief Mayawati also said that rights of people from weaker sections are being taken away and the government is trying to slowly dismantle all commissions.

SANTA CLARA, Calif., June 6, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Silego Technology Inc. (Silego) announces the introduction of SLG46580, further expanding the GreenPAKTM (GPAK) family of Programmable Mixed-signal Integrated Circuits (CMICs). This newest GPAK is targeted to support power systems in wearable and handheld market segments. This device is both highly integrated and highly flexible, and can provide a rich set of features, including voltage monitoring, power sequencing, reset functions and low drop-out regulators (LDOs), that are configurable in settings and interconnect. This device is the second in the series of parts designed to create "Flexible Power Islands" (FPI).
Power system design in the age of mobile devices, and especially wearable devices, is more challenging than it has ever been. The end users of these devices want smaller and lighter devices, while at the longer battery life. These opposing goals, and the need to reduce both cost and the size of the circuit boards, are just a few of the challenges facing the power system designer. To overcome these challenges, Silego has developed the concept of FPIs. Using FPIs, designers can divide their complex power system into some number of local power regions, or islands, each of which includes the power control, power sequencing and power regulation needed to support loads in the immediate vicinity. Silego believes this technique results in higher performance and a more efficient solution that can be flexibly tailored to the requirements of each individual system.
With the SLG46580, Silego has captured many of these necessary power system functions (power monitoring, sequencing, reset and power switching) in a tiny 2.0 x 3.0 mm 20 pin fully encapsulated plastic package. Using Silego's easy-to-use Graphic User Interface (GUI) based GPAK Designertm Software, and GPAK development hardware, designers can quickly and easily implement their unique configuration of the device, thereby customizing the functions to match their unique power requirements. The SLG46580 has four LDOs, each with a maximum output current of 150 mAs. Each of the LDOs has a programmable output voltage level that can be set to one of thirty-two different values from 0.9 V to 4.35 V, and also have programmable options for slew-rate selection and fault detection.
"Power system designers want more flexibility than is offered in PMIC devices, and higher integration than can be achieved using discrete devices. FPIs provide a unique combination of flexibility and integration that addresses the challenges in developing power systems for mobile devices," states Nathan John, Director of Marketing. "The flexibility provided is very close to a full-custom integrated circuit design, and the very small size allows the design engineer to place them close to critical loads for maximum efficiency. We believe this is yet another example of how Silego's CMIC strategy provides value to customers."
Since the introduction of the CMIC platform, Silego has developed five generations of CMIC silicon and design tools. Each generation has added functionality and enhanced the design experience. As a result, hundreds of designs incorporating CMICs by Silego customers have gone into production in almost every end market:

Police Internal Investigations Auditing Committee
April 13, 2000
(Approved: May 11, 2000)
Citizen Advisors Present: Charles Ford, Presiding; Denise Stone (Vice Chair); Robert Ueland; Ric Alexander; Shirlie Karl; Robert Wells; Gene Bales; Les Frank; Leora Mahoney; Kitsy Brown Mahoney
Citizen Advisors Absent: Jose Martinez; Dapo Sobomehin; Tou Cha
City Staff Present: Capt. Bret Smith, IAD; Sgt. Steve Bottcher, IAD; Sgt. Suzanne Whisler, IAD; Sgt. Jay Drum, IAD; Dr. Michael Hess, PIIAC Examiner
Media Present: Dan Handelman (Portland Copwatch); Janet Marcley-Hayes (Portland Free Press)
Mr. Ford opened the meeting at 6:10 p.m. PIIAC Citizen Advisors and City Staff introduced themselves.
The minutes of the March 9, 2000, PIIAC meeting were approved as written.
PIIAC Examiner Michael Hess announced that there would be only two cases heard tonight, since the Appellant for PIIAC Case 99-27 had called to say that he was sick.
PIIAC #00-04 (IAD #99-310)
PIIAC Examiner Michael Hess presented this case. Appellant was present.
Dr. Hess summarized the incident and the Appellant’s allegations. A Portland Police Officer (Officer A) was dispatched to assist the Siletz tribal police chief in recovering property belonging to the tribe at the Appellant’s residence. Appellant alleged that Officer A had no authority to assist in this action. She alleged that Officer A spoke and acted in an arrogant and threatening manner and that he failed to give the Appellant his police identification number when she asked him for it.
Dr. Hess stated that the Appellant was fully interviewed during the intake process and that the decision to deny the complaint was clearly stated in the letter of disposition. Based on his analysis, he recommended that the Advisors affirm IAD’s decision to decline the complaint.
Citizen Advisor Robert Ueland made a motion to have a vote on the combined recommendations of the examiner. Leora Mahoney seconded the motion. This motion was voted down (4 in favor, 6 opposed). Shirlie Karl made a motion to vote on each allegation separately. Kitsy Brown Mahoney seconded this. This motion carried.
The declination of the procedural aspect of the complaint (that Officer A lacked authority to assist the tribal police chief) carried unanimously. [Y=10]
The declination of the procedural aspect of the complaint (that Officer A intimidated the Appellant by showing up at her residence in uniform and with a police car) carried by majority vote. [Y=8, N=2]
The declination of the communications aspect of the complaint (that Officer A’s speech and demeanor were arrogant) carried by majority vote. [Y=8, N=2]
There was discussion among the advisors regarding Officer A’s failure to provide the appellant with his police identification number when asked. It was pointed out that this is a clear violation of the General Order on Identification, and that this behavior has been seen several times in the past. Captain Smith responded that he wrote a memorandum to the officer’s commander advising him that Officer A should be counseled about this.
PIIAC #00-06 (IAD #99-146)
Citizen Advisor Robert Wells presented this case. Appellant was present with her father.
Mr. Wells described an incident in which the Appellant was approached by a Portland traffic officer (Officer A) in court following a traffic accident. The Appellant alleged that Officer A’s display of angry words and demeanor in the courthouse was inappropriate and intimidating to her and her family.
The Appellant and her father expressed their frustrations with the internal investigation process and the lack of responsiveness and timeliness of the Traffic Division in completing the investigation. (The appellant’s father and the Appellant had filed a separate complaint against Officer A relating to his conduct at the site of the traffic accident.)
After discussion and some public input on this case, Mr. Ueland made a motion that the case be returned to IAD for reinvestigation, and that both complaints be looked at together since they were so closely related. Mr. Wells seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. [Y=10].
Chairman Ford announced that the next meeting of the PIIAC advisory committee would be held on May 11, 2000, at 6:30 p.m. in the Rose Room on the third floor of the Portland City Hall.
Dr. Hess announced that he had received the response of Chief Kroeker to the recommendations of the PIIAC Monitoring Subcommittee, and that the Chief had accepted all of the PIIAC recommendations.
Dan Handelman criticized Dr. Hess for stating in his presentation of the first case that "a reasonable person would not consider the mere presence of a uniformed police officer to be a threat." Mr. Handelman pointed out that in a recent Supreme Court opinion it was acknowledged that many persons do have a reason to feel intimidated by the mere presence of a police officer.
A previous PIIAC Appellant stated that he did not think that he had been given sufficient opportunity to present his side of his case. He asked the Advisors to consider letting him come back before them to further present his case. There was no motion made by any of the Advisors to do so.
A citizen read a letter to the PIIAC Advisors claiming that their decision in a previous PIIAC case was flawed.
A citizen stated that she feels that it may be a conflict of interest for an officer’s direct supervisor to be assigned an investigation on one of his or her employees.
The meeting was adjourned at approximately 9:30 p.m.
Respectfully submitted by
Michael H. Hess, D.D.S.

The deceased was identified as Anwar Hossen, 50, son of Akram Ali of the
Dinajpur Police Control Room sources said Anwar Hossen was standing under a tree while it was being felled at 10am. Suddenly a branch of the tree fell on him and he was seriously injured.
He was immediately rushed to Dinajpur Medical College Hospital where he died at noon.
The body was handed over to family members after an autopsy at the hospital.
An unnatural death (UD) case was filed with Khansama Police Station.


The day before the Attack event at Suzuka took place, the circuit held an open test day that many of the main participants took advantage of. I happened to time my arrival to the course with just enough time left in the day to grab a few shots before heading to the track hotel.
It’s been a busy couple weeks for me between work, traveling (Google tells me I’ve been to 3 countries, 19 cities and 53 places in January alone), and preparing for next week’s pre-order shipments (yay!). It hasn’t left me with much time to process photos from the first Attack event of the year at Suzuka Circuit.
Take a walk through the paddock of Suzuka Circuit the day before, and the day of Attack Suzuka last weekend. There was an intimate amount of cars for this half day event, which ensured the heavy hitters had plenty of track time.


I recently posted an article about the basic regulatory scheme of a nurse-owned med spa. Failure to comply with the rules governing nursing as well as med spas in Texas can result in a board complaint. If a nurse is facing a complaint or investigation by the Texas Board of Nursing (BON), it is important to take immediate action, as the matter is a formal legal proceeding. Here is an overview of the general process for defending a nursing license in Texas.
1. Notification: The BON will notify the nurse in writing of the complaint or investigation. The notification will include information about the allegations, the nurse's rights, and the process for responding to the complaint. Any person may file a complaint, and no administrative filter exists to dismiss facially non-meritorious claims. Meaning, if a complaint is filed it will be undertaken.
2. Investigation: The BON will conduct an investigation into the allegations. The investigation may include gathering evidence, interviewing witnesses, and reviewing medical records or other documents related to the case. The nurse subject to the complaint may be asked to provided additional information or documentation.
3. Response: The nurse will have an opportunity to respond to the allegations and provide evidence in their defense. This response should be thorough, accurate, and timely.
4. Informal Settlement: Unlike a license defense proceeding for a physician, if the BON determines that the evidence is sufficient to support the allegations, it likely will not offer the nurse an opportunity to attend an informal settlement conference. The BON may be willing to mediate a claim, but it likely will not engage in an informal settlement conference.
5. Formal Hearing: If the case cannot be resolved through negotiation, the BON may schedule a formal hearing before an administrative law judge. The hearing will provide an opportunity for the nurse and the BON to present evidence and arguments in front of this neutral decision-maker. The case is tried at the State Office of Administrative Hearings (SOAH). The nurse will be able to conduct written discovery, depose witnesses, and file dispositive motions and other pleadings.
6. Decision: After the hearing, the administrative law judge will issue a decision. If the judge finds in favor of the nurse, the case will be dismissed. If the judge finds that the allegations are supported by the evidence, the nurse may face disciplinary actions such as a reprimand, probation, suspension, or license revocation.
7. Appeal: The nurse may appeal the decision to a higher court. The initial appeal is made to a state district court where a judge may sustain the SOAH decision or reverse it based on a substantial evidence standard. If unsatisfied at the district court level, a nurse can further appeal to the Texas Third Circuit Court of Appeals.
Just like physicians, nurses who own med spas cannot fail to ensure complete compliance with the BON rules as well as those governing the practice of medicine and med spas. License defense proceedings, like any legal action, are stressful and expensive and could result in disciplinary action. The best approach is to safeguard a hard-earned and valuable license by adhering to the applicable rules and regulations.

Lewis Carroll’s original handwritten, illustrated manuscript for “Alice in Wonderland” will travel to the U.S. to mark its 150th anniversary.
The British Library said Thursday it will loan the book — presented by the author to Alice Liddell, who inspired it — to New York’s Morgan Library and Museum and the Rosenbach Museum of the Free Library of Philadelphia next year.
The work, which bears its original title of “Alice’s Adventures Under Ground,” was bought by an American dealer in 1928 and returned to Britain in 1948.
The British Library also will display the book in late 2015 as part of an exhibition marking 150 years since its 1865 publication.
The library also plans a major exhibition next year marking the 800th anniversary of the Magna Carta.

I kid you not, my journey of developing emotional intelligence began after I read a tweet that questioned, why am I the way I am? When I came across this tweet, I was deeply depressed and frustrated with not being able to understand where the waves of emotion were coming from. Although I had asked myself this same question many times, seeing someone else ask it made me approach it less judgmentally. Finally wanting more for myself, and keeping the tweet in mind, I began to seek answers to the simple questions, why can't I genuinely be happy for the people I call my friends? Why am I so threatened by competition? Why am I SO critical of others' flaws?
What pursued was a transformative experience.
In the past, I would have never thought that the source of my anger might be fundamental. As a way to avoid change, and to possibly keep my fears at bay, I had told myself I was faultless time after time. Yet, upon self introspection, I realized that I also played a role in situations that have brought me grief. Sure, I did not ASK to be mistreated by past friends, but did I go to a trusted adult for support? Practice self-care? Find better friends? Or did I wallow and let it affect me in all areas in my life. Of course, at the time I could not have known the optimal way to deal with my situation, and I cannot go back. BUT self introspection has helped me identify my harmful behaviors, so I can create positive ones the next time someone aims to bring me down.
If you want to escape your toxic habits too, ask yourself the same question that I initially asked, why am I the way I am? Think back to your childhood memories. What were some of the emotions you remember feeling back then? Sadness when your parents forgot your 9th birthday? Insecurity when you realized your skin was darker than that of all your peers? Unpack these genuine, raw emotions. They might sound trivial when you say them out loud; emotions tend to seem that way when put in the open. But get past the discomfort, because your inner child, the foundation of your personality, the part of you that longs to be nurtured, is waiting to be acknowledged. You might be shocked as you realize that the mechanisms you developed early on have followed you to adulthood. That is okay. The negative responses you developed were in reaction to situations you did not understand at the time. Try to understand them now though. Are the dots connecting? As you might be beginning to see, your emotions have always been real, whether or not you knew about them. After all, the same emotions you feel now are the same emotions you have always felt. Even though you might feel like they are too complicated or impossible to understand, remember that it is not your emotions that are impossible. You simply live in a world today that is more difficult to navigate than ever before, one that has successfully distracted you from facing your feelings.
How am I supposed to get myself together when I'm literally addicted to Snapchat??
Why do I even still USE Snapchat!??
Even though it is easy to get caught up with life-- the people, the drama, the responsibilities-- make time to ask yourself, what am I feeling right now? Am I acknowledging that my feelings are as valid as the next person's? If you can answer yes, you are respecting your inner child, and that is pretty amazing.

No disrespect to EMC Corp., in the midst of being gobbled up by Dell for $67 billion. Its founders and employees created a true pillar company here in Massachusetts – one that set the agenda for the data storage business for more than 35 years, and made some very smart acquisitions.
But EMC also grew to become the staunchest defender of employee noncompete agreements. Those are the contracts that many workers and executives sign that prevent them from leaving to join – or start – a competing firm for a set period of time, often a year. They’re used in many states, but not in California. A sustained effort to ban their use, or at least limit it, hit a wall on Beacon Hill last year.
As local and state legislators worry about the layoffs that could follow the Dell-EMC combination, I think they instead ought to use this as a “teachable moment,” and alter the way Massachusetts allows companies to use noncompete agreements to lock in employees. EMC’s stance was in the best interest of EMC; it discouraged EMC’s best people from striking out on their own. But it also inhibited the growth of a strong storage and data management ecosystem here.
“Such a huge company with so many employees has set the tone and the culture in Massachusetts,” says Ellen Rubin, co-founder of the Boston data storage startup ClearSky Data. “It affected all of the boiler-plate letters and contracts that people use, and it affected the way in which people here think about things. People see noncompetes as a serious issue – that they will be enforced.” That, Rubin says, creates a chilling effect when any employee thinks about changing jobs or starting a company of their own.
Venture capitalist David Skok, a startup investor at Matrix Partners in Cambridge, says he can recall being pitched “seven or eight times” over the years by EMC employees who wanted to start their own venture. “We saw people who had ideas, and who might’ve pursued them, but they couldn’t because they would’ve had to wait a year [until the noncompete elapsed], or risk being sued or threatened,” Skok says. “We ended up having them back out of starting things.” Among its highest-profile suits over an employee who signed a noncompete agreement was a 2001 case against Doron Kempel, who left to become CEO of a storage startup – until a judge ruled that he couldn’t do that.
But Skok says he also has been in recruiting meetings where names came up, and the response was “we can’t go after so-and-so, because EMC will come after them” to enforce a noncompete.
I think we’d be in better shape if EMC had spawned dozens of splinter companies over its lifespan, or its alumni had contributed to the growth of more startups, rather than having built the perfect airtight Tupperware container for talent. While there are other data storage and management startups around Boston, some of them employing a good number of EMC alumni, Skok’s experience – and my gut – tells me that without noncompetes, we’d see a lot more. In California, a single company founded three years before EMC had its alumni go on to start Electronic Arts, LinkedIn, Palm, Android, Flipboard, Electronic Arts, Path, and Nest. That company? Apple.
“It is in our collective best interest to think about building a tech ecosystem, not pandering to the interest of a few employers, even if they’re very big,” says C.A. Webb, a co-founder of the new venture capital firm Assemble VC, and the former executive director of the New England Venture Capital Association, which has lobbied to ban noncompete agreements. “Even the strongest mighty oaks – Polaroid, Digital, EMC – at some point they usually die. It may take 30 years, or it may take 50. But EMC very forcefully precluded a storage ecosystem from generating.” (I reached out to EMC today for a comment, but haven’t yet heard back.)
Rubin says that it isn’t impossible to hire people from EMC, but that there’s a risk in doing too much of it. “One or two isn’t a big deal, but try to hire 10 or more and you worry about the legal risk,” she says. But for a fast-growing startup that has launched its product and is moving into marketing mode, there can be a benefit in hiring people quickly, and bringing on people who have had experience in big companies. “That’s where you want the people who have experience with scale,” she says.
It’s almost impossible to prove that we’d have a more robust cluster of companies focused on storage and data center needs if we’d ditched noncompetes the day before EMC was founded in 1979. And of course it’s possible that EMC wouldn’t have grown to 70,000 employees (roughly 10,000 of them in Massachusetts) if it had had to deal with a constant trickle of talent leakage and scrappy startups nipping at its heels.
But we’ve now run the experiment one way, and seen an industry leader humbled by the pace of change in its industry, as companies have shifted their data from their own data centers into the cloud. Why not run it the other way, and see if more fluid movement of talent in a range of fast-evolving industries would produce a more diverse garden, rather than just a couple very big sunflowers.
“There’s no question in my mind that because we made it harder for people to leave a company that was in the midst of being disrupted” — EMC — “that other people elsewhere in the country and the world started companies that were accelerating that disruption,” says Jeffrey Bussgang, a partner at Flybridge Capital Partners in Boston. He adds that the current system is perfectly designed “if you want to miss waves of innovation.”
As I’ve written before, the message of the noncompete status quo is, “We know there will be competitors to our company. Just let’s make sure they’re not based in Massachusetts.”
If you acknowledge that we’re living in a global economy, that doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. Governor Charlie Baker, during his campaign and since his inauguration in January, hasn’t taken this issue seriously.
This would be a good time to start.

Maputo, Mozambique, 23 Mar – A real estate project assessed at more than US$1.2 billion will be built in the Mozambican capital on the site previously occupied by the Maputo International Fair (Facim), the Sogex exhibition, fair and congress promoter announced on Monday.
Speaking on behalf of Sogex (Sociedade Gestora de Exposições, Feiras e Congressos), Americo Magaia said the project envisaged building a five-star hotel, a three-star hotel, offices, residences, commercial galleries and a parking lot, framed by green spaces formed by different gardens.
The complex will be built in five phases over ten years by a group of Mozambican investors who have joined together in a company called Constellation, Magaia said.
Constellation paid just over US$10.8 million to acquire the project’s site in downtown Maputo, he added.
The Maputo International Fair will be transferred to the Marracuene district, about 20 km from the city centre.
Americo Magaia is the former director of Sogex. He was replaced by the entrepreneur Kekobad Patel, who assumed the position representing the CTA Confederation of Economic Associations, which holds a 39 percent stake in the Facim promoter.

The American steel band story is one of migration and the appropriation of the national instrument of Trinidad by and for the cultural dominance of America. Moreover, despite its humble beginnings the steel pan has slowly positioned itself to thrive in the United States. The following study parses out the development of steel pan in America into sections that include an analysis of early steel band influences within Cold War American popular music, the 1950s calypso craze, the New York Carnival scene, Pete Seeger and steel pan as American folk music, the United States Navy Steel Band, early examples of steel band success in academia, steel band's attempt to find a voice and identity within the American popular and commercial music landscape, several individual case studies, and current trends.
Despite its unique nature, the steel pan has experienced a fate similar to many other non-western folk instruments; it has been integrated, appropriated, and modified by American practitioners into an entirely new and musical genre, increasingly different in style and character from its Trinidadian roots. The present study further explores the social and artistic phenomenon of steel pan in America and its development over time. The development of steel pan in America is a serious art movement in both social identity and artistic development, and it is my aim to illustrate the motives that propel the scene. Accordingly, every attempt will be made to explore, locate, and provide a historical analysis of the first appearance of steel band music in the United States, drawing links between institutional locations (military bands, school and university programs, recordings/record labels, and more) and regional sites (Harlem, Brooklyn, Dekalb, Illinois) whenever possible. Other avenues of research considered include American steel band's historical links to conflicts with other Trinidadian musical genres (calypso and soca) and black diasporic, and (white) mainstream postwar cultural practices in the United States. Under discussion, too, is the global impact of the American steel band, the historical impact of American popular music on steel band music, cultural appropriation, transvaluation, and remade traditions such as the Brooklyn Carnival and J'ouvert tradition.

When we got in we did a load of laundry at Glen Cove. We then rode around and found a mini golf to play and went out for a dinner. There is a lot of places to eat in the area. When we returned to our room parked right in front of our room. Woke up well rested and had a good breakfast out on the deck. I will return to Glen Cove Inn & Suites.

My oldest daughter has used these for school and for fun. They are filled with very interesting information about the Countries, Flags, Populations, current events, etc. and have really been nice as an additional research aid for projects, as much as entertainment. I don't want my kids to enjoy worldly things and people that are not in line with our Faith and I am cautious about what my children are exposed to because of the lack of Godliness and morals these days, these seem to be safe for kids to learn from and enjoy! Further, though the Internet is a vast resource, you have to be careful with what and where you are researching! Plus, it is still nice to hold some books in your hands once in a while!Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.

Trent Brown’s future became up in the air on Thursday when the 49ers used a first-round draft choice at his position, tapping Notre Dame tackle Mike McGlinchey with pick No. 9.
It’s not surprising, then, Pro Football Talk on Friday morning reported San Francisco was engaging in trade talks with the Patriots about Brown.
The 49ers and Patriots obviously have a good working relationship after getting together on the Jimmy Garoppolo trade in October. New England has a need along the offensive line after losing tackle Nate Solder to the Giants. He signed a four-year, $62 million contract last month at the start of free agency.
Brown is recovering from surgery to repair a torn labrum in his right shoulder. And listed at 355 pounds, weight has been an ongoing issue throughout his football career dating back to his time at Florida. It’s likely among the reasons he lasted until Round 7 in the 2015 draft. Brown is entering the final year of his rookie contract and the 49ers made the cost effective move by finding his potential replacement in the draft rather than doling out a lucrative, Solder-like contract next spring.
Brown has emerged as one of the league’s most promising right tackles given his immense length and athleticism since becoming a starter in 2016. He’s renowned for his pass protection but is considered inconsistent in the running game.
49ers general manager John Lynch was asked if Brown was on the trading block Thursday after the team invested a first-round pick in McGlinchey, widely considered the best tackle in the draft.
“You know, you never say never. Right now, we’re pleased to have great competition at that spot,” said Lynch.
The 49ers expect Brown to be recovered from the surgery in time for the start of training camp this summer.

DENVER — The Colorado Senate finance committee voted in favor early Thursday morning on a bill that aims at increasing vaccination rates in Colorado.
The 4-3 vote happened after several hours of testimony at the Colorado State Capitol.
HB19-1312 would create a standardized exemption form and require parents to make an in-person visit to their local health department to get a signature on a waiver form.
The bill is being heard during the final days of the state Legislature as the U.S. experiences has its largest measles outbreak since 2000.
Supporters hope to make it easier to get a vaccine than to get an exemption.
“Colorado ranks last when it comes to immunization rates for kindergarten-age children, and the current nationwide measles outbreak underscores the urgency of passing this legislation now, “ said Sen. Julie Gonzales, D-Denver. “We must act to keep our children and schools safe.”
But about 530 people signed up to speak about the bill at the capital on Wednesday. Most are against it.
They’re upset the committee limited the hearing to four hours and were concerned their voices may not be heard.

“This is a very undemocratic process… not giving people a chance to express their concerns about something that’s going to affect their lives and their children,” said Dr. Micheal Gaeta, who opposes the bill.
But other doctors are in favor of it.
“The time to act is now,” Dr. Jessica Cataldi told FOX31. “And I think that there’s been plenty of time for the legislators to read about it and hear from constituents. I trust that legislators will make that a fair process.”

— Joe St. George (@JoeStGeorge) May 1, 2019
The bill will now go to the full Senate for a vote.
However, the fate of the bill is still up in the air especially since Colorado Public Radio reported last week that Colorado Gov. Jared Polis has spoken publicly against the bill.

KENYA BROWN - Tuesday, May 16, 2017
Danny Williams and Reading will head to Wembley Stadium as a second half penalty helped them to a win over Tim Ream and Fulham on Tuesday night.
Reading 1-0 Fulham (Reading win 2-1 on aggregate)
A penalty from Frenchman Yann Kermorgant was all Reading needed to book their place in the Championship promotion playoff final on Tuesday night as they knocked off Fulham at the Madejski Stadium.
Both Danny Williams and Tim Ream started for their respective teams in the game.
After a tight first leg at Craven Cottage which ended in a 1-1 tie, it looked the same was going to happen again until one mistake changed the outcome of the game for both teams.
Kermorgant was so close to scoring early in the game when he unleashed a strike from inside the area, but Fulham goalkeeper Marcus Bettinelli would make a fine save. Ali Al Habsi was called into action at the other end as he made a save on an attempt by Tom Cairney. The Oman international's heroics continued in the first half as he made a brilliant double save off a Fulham free kick.
Things would take a turn in the second half when the referee blew his whistle for a penalty as Fulham defender Tomas Kalas handled the ball in the area. Kermorgant stepped up and put away the penalty to give the Royals a slim lead.
Reading had a couple of chances to extend their lead while Fulham pressed hard to find the equalizer, but in the end one goal was enough to help the Royals continue their march towards possible promotion to the Premier League.
They will now await the winner of the other semifinal between Huddersfield Town and Sheffield Wednesday as those two teams will play their second leg game on Wednesday.

Ireland's police watchdog will review the cases of two Roma families having children removed from their homes amid claims they could not prove their identity.
Two reports have been ordered on the controversial action by gardai and health officials after a seven-year-old girl was taken from her home for 48 hours and a two year-old boy from his home overnight.
Both children were subsequently proven to be members of the families with the girl returned home after DNA tests.
The police watchdog, the Garda Siochana Ombudsman Commission, said it has not received any complaints but has demanded copies of a report by the Commissioner Martin Callinan.
"We have requested this in order to inform ourselves fully of the circumstances of events so that we can take an appropriate position," a spokesman for the Ombudsman said.

The Game’s Manager Says Sean Kingston Filed an Order of Protection Against The Game
The Game has now commented on the order of protection Sean Kingston reportedly levied against him. And Chuck isn't happy. "I aint coming nowhere near you bum, you snitching," he commented on Instagram before removing the post. "But [you] was talking tough all in Patois the other day." Peep the entire response, above.
This Meek Mill and The Game beef has been dominating the headlines for the last couple of weeks, and at the center of this whole crazy situation is Sean Kingston, who has apparently filed an order of protection against the Compton rapper.
In case you have been hiding under a rock, the whole situation stems from an incident back in June where Kingston was relieved of his jewelry in an L.A. nightclub. According to Game, Kingston and Meek (who was at the club that night) told police Game’s people are the ones who ran Kingston’s jewels. And now Game wants to run Meek's fade.
Kingston has chimed in on the situation, first saying he wants peace, then totally going in on Game with a profanity laden knockoff Ox from Belly rant. The tough talk seems all for show as Game's manager Wack 100 has revealed that Kingston recently filed for an order of protection against the "92 Bars" rapper.
Posting a picture of the order on his Instagram page, he caption the post, "This clown Sean Kingston tells the world he's a gangster on his little IG videos then darts to the police to file an order of protection on [The Game]. Yell Meek Mill like we said snitching. Any nigga associated or tied to this action is responsible for this action period."
This isn't a good look for the singer who was talking like Tony Montana last week. This whole beef triangle keeps getting stranger and stranger.

FAQs: In support of public park Issue 9
May 3 will be the only time that CH residents have been able to vote directly on a local land-use issue—it’s an opportunity to decide what kind of community we want to live in, and the future we want to create. Here are some FAQs about the [proposed] public park, Issue 9:
Will the park bring money to the city? Yes! Based on research by city planners and economists, the right-size public space, in the right place, brings feet to the street. And money follows feet. This park is the right size in the right context. Lee Road business owners told us they do their best business during the music festival. The CH Master Plan recommends more activities to attract people who will dine, shop, and attend performances. Imagine how a concert in the public park every Friday night would help Lee Road businesses!
How much will it cost? The park will be designed by a community process; the more complicated the design, the more costly. Our best estimate is that $2 million would be enough for a good foundation—a small stage, free WiFi, public restrooms, a water fountain, and a small play area for young children. Residents will work with the city on the park’s design and funding. Park supporters have experience in writing grant proposals and in fundraising.
The cost to maintain the park will be modest. In 2021, maintenance of all of its parks cost the city $241,300; extrapolating from that, the Meadowbrook-Lee park maintenance cost should be less than $40,000 a year.
Did you start the public park initiative to stop development? No. It is only about the public park. Unfortunately, the two issues became conflated. The [pro-park] petitions were originally submitted [to the county board of elections] on Nov. 29. Some signatures were invalidated; additional petitions were submitted on Dec. 24. The city signed the development agreement on Dec. 6.
Will the public square stop development? No. Issue 9 is not responsible for the decisions of the developer; it only applies to 1.07 acres of the 5-acre site. When it passes, what happens to the development is up to the developer. Neither the developer, Flaherty & Collins (F&C), nor the city has stated there will be no development when Issue 9 passes.
Will the park be legal? When Issue 9 passes, it will be a binding legal ordinance with the presumption of validity afforded all passed ballot initiatives. Opponents and some city officials have stated that the ordinance authorizing the park could potentially be “set aside” as unconstitutional due to the city’s pre-existing contract with F&C. Presumably, they are referring to the Retroactivity Clause of Article II, Section 28 of the Ohio Constitution, which prevents governments from passing laws that impair existing contracts. However, in a 2016 decision, the Ohio Supreme Court held that the Retroactivity Clause does not extend to political subdivisions. Any constitutional challenge to Issue 9 will have legal obstacles to overcome.
Why did you start the park initiative? It was our only remaining option. Petitioners submitted proposals to build the park four times, starting in 2013. In 2021, city council refused eight requests to put the park on its agenda, and made decisions in six closed-door executive sessions. We asked council to wait to vote on the development after our new form of government was in place; it refused.
Please visit clevelandheightspublicsquare.com to sign up for a yard sign, our newsletter, or to donate! It is not unusual for developers to spend $500,000 on this kind of campaign. All contributions that will help Issue 9 win are appreciated.
Fran Mentch initiated, and thanks the large grassroots effort that created, Issue 9. She is chair of the executive committee of the Northeast Ohio Sierra Club group, and is a community activist who worked to turn the former Oakwood Country Club into a Metropark, not a Walmart.

Senior captain Yan Klukowski was tabbed Brine/NEC Player of the
Week for his performances in CCSU's victories over Marist and
Manhattan. The midfielder has been named Player of the Week in two
out of the first three weeks of play for the Blue Devils.
In Central's first game of the week against Marist, the Blue Devils were holding on to a one goal lead when Klukowski played a ball over the top of the defense to fellow senior captain, David Tyrie. The CCSU defender put it away in the 65th minute and the Blue Devils won 3-1.
On the road against Manhattan, Klukowski scored the lone goal of the game in the 30th minute. The Wiltshire, England native received a ball from sophomore Connor Smith and was left one on one with the Jasper goalkeeper. Klukowski finished the play and the Blue Devils held on to improve their record this year to 4-1-1.
CCSU has been playing extremely well since their NEC Championship and run to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament a year ago. The Blue Devils are now 12-2-2 in their last 16 games, dating back to October of 2007. Central will be traveling to Virginia on Tuesday September 23 to take on the Cavaliers at 7:00 p.m.
Klukowski now leads the Blue Devils and stands in second in the NEC with four goals and nine total points.

10 years following the release of his debut album, ‘Such a Good Ugly Thing’, Phillip Donald is back bigger and better than ever with his new release ‘Break Loose’.
The title track was released as a single in December 2018 to commemorate the 100th episode of the SmorgShow Podcast. In the song, Phillip reflects upon his brief time in prison following an incident involving ‘lewd behavior’. After performing the song live on episode 100, Phillip had planned to continue writing for his follow-up album. However, in 2020 he was forced into lockdown due to COVID-19 where his creative juices exploded on paper and wrote the remainder of the tracks from the lens of isolation. “Break Loose” is every bit the concept album on the level of Pink Floyd’s ‘Dark Side of the Moon’ and the Who’s ‘Tommy’.
The next single from the album, Uber Friend, is scheduled to be released in July 2021.

Greetings from Michigan. It’s a balmy 6 degrees today. Sigh..
I’m not sure if this is the right area for this question. Has anyone tried sildenafil(viagra) as a medication to battle Reynaud’s symptoms? It promotes better blood flow. Which is supposed to make the extremities(toes, fingers, etc..) warmer.
Viagra, Cialis, etc. have been used to successfully treat Raynaud’s. Since they are not covered by insurance taking them for Raynaud’s can be costly. Some members report getting insurers to approve them but these cases are when other drugs have not worked and the person has severe Raynaud’s with digital ulcers. The drug is usually stopped after the ulcer heals.

Long-standing inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is associated with an increased risk of colorectal cancer (CRC).1, 2 This was first shown for ulcerative colitis (UC). Long-term experience of surveillance programs in handling this increased risk is now at hand; most centers employ some form of surveillance program for patients with long-standing (>8–10 years) and extensive UC. The value of this surveillance in terms of decreased mortality is debated, particularly the importance of histopathological low-grade dysplasia as a precancerous indicator.3, 4 There is still more controversy about the value of surveillance in Crohn's colitis. Only one study on colonoscopic surveillance in Crohn's disease (CD) has been performed, and in this study the authors found a cumulative incidence of dysplasia similar to that in UC.5
Apart from histopathological dysplasia, other precancerous markers have been used in surveillance.6 DNA aneuploidy (a numeric chromosomal imbalance) has been used together with histopathology in UC.7–9 Studies using DNA aneuploidy as an additional precancerous marker in Crohn's colitis are few, small, and have so far led to inconclusive results.10–12
At Stockholm Söder Hospital and Karolinska University Hospital, Huddinge patients with long-standing (>8 years duration) extensive Crohn's colitis have been followed with colonoscopic monitoring in the same way as those with UC. In this study, we describe the long-term results from this monitoring of patients with longstanding and extensive Crohn's colitis. In particular, we assessed the incidence of DNA aneuploidy, histopathological dysplasia, and colorectal cancer, and any possible interrelations between them.

- SUBJECTS AND METHODS
In this study we found that in a cohort of patients with Crohn's and indeterminate colitis the overall occurrence of dysplasia was of similar magnitude as in previous studies of CD as well as of UC.5, 21, 22 The majority of this dysplasia was, however, unifocal, and only a small fraction (4%) had multifocal dysplasia. Besides confirming the occurrence of dysplasia, our study adds important information on the occurrence of DNA aneuploidy in these patients, and the interrelationships between aneuploidy, dysplasia, and CRC. In this regard, our main findings was that: 1) the crude occurrence of DNA aneuploidy was in the same range as in previous studies on UC7, 9; 2) DNA aneuploidy was mostly found in patients with subsequent either low grade or high grade dysplasia; and 3) the finding that DNA aneuploidy with high S-phase values correlated to a subsequent finding of dysplasia.
There are three previous studies on CD-colitis where the occurrence of both DNA aneuploidy and dysplasia has been studied.10–12 The article by McKinley et al10 was a case report of one patient with CD colitis who had concomitant HGD and DNA aneuploidy. Lofberg et al12 studied 24 patients with extensive CD colitis and found no dysplasia but two cases of DNA aneuploidy. Porschen et al11 studied both CD colitis and UC, and found no aneuploidy among 51 patients with CD colitis.
There is one previous study on CD-colitis and surveillance5 in which the frequency of dysplasia paralleled that reported for UC (no other precancerous markers were used). In that study the cumulative incidence of HGD/CRC was 7% after ≈10 years of follow-up, which is in close agreement with our finding of a cumulative CRC incidence 7% after 10 years of follow-up. Further, in a case–control study on possible exposures and CRC risk in Crohn's colitis23 the authors found that previous colonoscopy for an indication of screening or surveillance was associated with a lower risk of CRC.
Based on their findings the authors made the recommendation that patients with extensive CD-colitis should be followed with periodic surveillance colonoscopies. It is tempting to include CD-colitis in similar surveillance programs as for UC. However, the benefit in terms of decreased mortality from such programs is even less certain for CD-colitis, where the absolute and relative risks for colitis associated cancer are uniformly lower than for UC.
A better approach would be to stratify which patients with CD-colitis should be included in such surveillance. Patients with extensive CD-colitis (at least 1/3 of colon), a positive family history for CRC, concomitant PSC, extensive, reproducible DNA aneuploidy with high S-phase values, or any other marker for neoplasia should probably be followed with yearly colonoscopies.
Our study has a several limitations. The lack of a control group, a weakness in common with the earlier studies on CD-colitis and precancerous markers, precluded a direct comparison with the normal population regarding prevalence of dysplasia and DNA aneuploidy. In an earlier study,20 however, we have shown that an unselected normal population without colitis does not have DNA aneuploidy or dysplasia. A further weakness was the incomplete (and hence not included) data on factors such as smoking status, 5-ASA-treatment, and family history of CRC. The anticipated difficulty in definitely separating colonic CD from IC or UC is also a limitation, although particular care was taken to minimize any misclassification of UC as CD. The 25 cases where a firm diagnosis of CD could not be made were retained as IC, since we believed the important factor might be long-standing colitis rather than the diagnosis per se. As always in studies involving histopathology there is the well-described problem of subjectivity in dysplasia grading.24, 25 All our analyses were made by experienced pathologists with a special interest in gastrointestinal pathology. To minimize any ambiguities, only LGD or worse were retained as dysplasia and all cases of indefinite probably dysplastic mucosa were excluded. All cases of dysplasia leading to colectomy were reviewed independently by a second gastrointestinal pathologist.
All patients were surveyed in a similar way, regardless of previous presence of DNA aneuploidy or not, according to the protocol of our local surveillance program. Since we follow this program for every patient undergoing surveillance, there is little risk of bias in real time. The presence of only DNA aneuploidy (without dysplasia) will according to this program not lead to a closer surveillance compared to patients with no DNA aneuploidy. There was no difference in the mean number of colonoscopies between patients with DNA aneuploidy and those without aneuploidy.
A particular difficulty with CD colitis is the occurrence of strictures and complicated anal disease with fistulas. However, in our patient group there were no cases of strictures, fistulas, or by-passed intestinal segments among the neoplasia cases.
Common to all surveillance there is always a risk of sampling error, since only a very small fraction of the entire mucosa can be covered with biopsies. This problem is particularly true for CD colitis, with its often patchy inflammation and possibility of strictures. Brush cytology could be a way to reduce sampling error because of strictures.
Our study also has several strengths: it is based on the largest cohort of patients with extensive CD colitis where information both on histopathological dysplasia as well as DNA aneuploidy were available. All patients were included according to strict diagnostic criteria to minimize the risk for misclassification of patients with UC as Crohn's colitis.
The addition of DNA aneuploidy as a second biological marker for neoplasia adds strength as the histopathological inflammation-dysplasia-carcinoma sequence is not as firmly established for CD as for UC. We increased the precision further by also studying the S-phase fraction and not only the occurrence of DNA aneuploidy per se. It seems that the crucial factor for neoplasia development is the increased S-phase and not just the mere presence of DNA aneuploidy. This seems also to be the case for UC, where high S-phase values correlated well to extensive LGD and HGD. We therefore suggest that in following CD colitis patients in surveillance programs an additional marker for neoplasia such as DNA aneuploidy with S-phase analysis, be used.
In conclusion, the results of our study suggest that although both dysplasia and DNA aneuploidy could be used in the surveillance of CD colitis, the value of merely measuring their crude occurrence may be moderate. By contrast, when additional aspects such as S-phase and extent are considered, the clinical value of both DNA aneuploidy and dysplasia increases. Thus, together with age, duration of disease, CRC heredity, and a recent change in symptoms, S-phase and extent of aneuploidy and dysplasia can help stratify risk and thereby find patients with CD colitis to follow more closely.
