State firefighters at Camp Roberts in Central California battled two fast moving fires, last week.
“We had a fire on Monday, August 13th, which was caused by troops training and another on August 15th in the same area,” said Steven Bradley, firefighter-security officer, president of the State Employed Fire Fighters Association (SEFFA) and member of the California Statewide Law Enforcement Association(CSLEA). “We called upon the San Miguel fire department and CALFIRE from Monterey and San Luis Obispo to assist us with firefighting operations.”
It does not take long for the Camp Roberts Fire Department to become overwhelmed by increased calls for service and fast-moving fires . “Due to the budget crunch, we have low staffing levels at the Camp Roberts Fire Department,” said Bradley. “Even though troop training has increased here. We have fewer firefighters but an increase in population and now this summer, a hot, dry, active fire season.”
The fire on August 15 was in a rugged and remote section of the post making it difficult to access with ground equipment.
“In addition to the typical dangers, fires present, here at Camp Roberts we have to be concerned about unexploded ordinances on the post,” Bradley said. Camp Roberts has been a premier training site for military troops since 1941. It is not uncommon for multiple rounds and explosions to occur during firefighting operations.
Luck and skill were on their side when San Miguel Engine 8668 arrived under the command of CSLEA member Kevin Byrne. Byrne is a firefighter-security officer at Camp Roberts but, that day, was working as a volunteer firefighter serving his community.
The fire took hours to contain and Camp Roberts Fire Department remained on the scene hours after that.
“Very few Californians are aware of our CSLEA members who are firefighters-security officers at state military facilities like Camp Roberts,” said CSLEA President Alan Barcelona. “We also have firefighter-security officers at Hearst Castle, Yountville Veterans Home, The state hospitals at Atascadero, Coalinga, Napa and state developmental centers Sonoma, Porterville and Lanterman. These men and women not only perform their specific jobs, they also offer mutual aid to their surrounding communities and are often the first emergency responders on scene. “

JD Sports has lived up to its “king of trainers” slogan by defying the wider retail gloom to reveal that its profits will be at the top of City expectations.
The sportswear chain declined to give a sales figure for its performance over Christmas, other than to say that it had achieved “positive like-for-like trends” across its sports stores, particularly overseas.
JD Sports was founded in 1981 by John Wardle and David Makin, the “J” and “D” in the company’s name. It has grown from having a single shop in Bury, Greater Manchester, to more than 900 stores, which includes its recent takeover of Finish Line, the American sportswear business.

Virat Kohli pleased that India have found their mojo at T20 World Cup
India captain Virat Kohli feels that his team have regained their mojo after another crushing win over an associate side at the T20 World Cup.
Opener KL Rahul smashed 50 off 19 balls to help India stay alive in the T20 World Cup with an eight-wicket drubbing of Scotland inside seven overs on Friday and birthday boy skipper Kohli declared: “We’ve got our mojo back.”
Kohli won the toss and put the opposition in to bat.
Ravindra Jadeja, and Mohammed Shami took three wickets apiece to help India bowl Scotland out for 85 in 17.4 overs.
Rahul and Rohit Sharma then took the Scotland bowling apart as India raced to their target in 6.3 overs to drastically improve their net run rate.
Rahul whacked six fours and three sixes in his brutal assault as he raised the fifty in just 18 balls before getting out to Scotland spinner Mark Watt.
Brad Wheal trapped Rohit leg before ending the 70-run opening stand, but the damage was done.
Virat Kohli gets a birthday present
Suryakumar Yadav hit the winning six with Kohli, on his 33rd birthday, relishing the huge win at the non-striker’s end.
“A dominating performance. It was something we were striving for again,” said Kohli after a second win on the trot for India.
“I don’t want to say too much about today because we know how we can play,” Kohli added.
“These little things in T20 cricket (toss, conditions) matter and we’re glad to be back in our mojo.
“We spoke about 100-120 max but we restricted them to a total that allowed us to leapfrog everyone else.
“We spoke about finishing in the 8-10 over bracket.
“You don’t want to go in with six-and-a-half or a seven-and-half run mark because then you’re doing too much.
“We gave that bracket and allowed them to get that momentum.
“If you look at our practice games as well, the guys have been batting like that.
“Two overs of cricket like that and the momentum of the tournament could have been completely different.
“We basically broke it down to the fact that we couldn’t get away at all in those two games, two overs could have made the difference.
“I’m just pleased everyone is getting into their own I’m over that phase now. My wife and daughter are here and that celebration is enough, the family being here is a blessing in itself.”
Pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah bowled Scotland captain Kyle Coetzer after his seven-ball struggle at the crease.
George Munsey counter-attacked as he smashed Ravichandran Ashwin for three successive boundaries but Shami cut short the opener’s stay on 24.
Jadeja came on to bowl after the first six overs of powerplay and made an instant impact with twin strikes to send back Richie Berrington, bowled without scoring a run, and Matthew Cross trapped lbw for two.
“We just looked to play a good brand of cricket,” said Jadeja.
“If we play like this, nobody can beat us. In T20s, we have to play like this, that is for sure.”
With Scotland’s top four back in the hut with just 29 on the board, but Calum MacLeod and Michael Leask put up some resistence during a 29-run stand.
Jadeja broke through with his left-arm spin as he sent back Leask lbw for 21 and Ashwin got Chris Greaves for one.
MacLeod (16), and Mark Watt also attempted to lend some respectability to the total, but Shami returned to pick up two wickets in one over, and Bumrah wrapped up the innings in 17.4 overs.
“A tough day at the office, we were outclassed in every department,” said Coetzer.
India still need to win their last game against Namibia on Monday and depend on the result of Sunday’s New Zealand-Afghanistan match to have any chance of making the final four.

City Council sends 2023 preliminary budget to Aug. 1 meeting
The Jamestown City Council met Thursday, July 21, to discuss the 2023 preliminary budget.
JAMESTOWN – The Jamestown City Council unanimously sent without recommendation the 2023 preliminary budget to the Aug. 1 meeting for final approval.
City Administrator Sarah Hellekson said the preliminary budget includes no increases in the number of mills.
“It would be a total of 90 mills in the general fund or 118.41 mills, which is the same number we had last year,” she said. She added the preliminary budget shows it is more than $31,600 in expenditures over revenue.
The City Council could give final approval to the preliminary budget at its Aug. 1 meeting.
The preliminary budget can be lowered but not increased before a final budget is approved at the City Council's October meeting.
The Jamestown Police Department received a grant of more than $33,000 to help cover the cost of a new K-9 unit and some technology equipment, according to Scott Edinger, Jamestown chief of police.
In a report to the Jamestown Police and Fire Committee, Edinger said the grant will help replace some equipment for the detectives and pay for a good share of the K-9 unit. Along with the grant and more than $15,400 in donations from community members, the K-9 unit will be covered in full, Edinger said.
He said the new K-9 unit is handled by Jamestown Police officer Cory Beckman.
K-9 unit Odin, who is handled by Sgt. Andrew Stoen, will retire after about six years of service.
“He’s about 9 years old and is starting to show his age,” Edinger said. “He got some well-deserved time off.”
The Jamestown Public Works Committee unanimously approved without recommendation a request from the city of Valley City to purchase three city of Jamestown solid waste vehicles.
Shawn O’Neill, sanitation foreman, said the three trucks haven’t been used by city of Jamestown employees for about five years. He said no offers have been made yet.
City Administrator Sarah Hellekson said the city of Valley City currently uses the trucks. The trucks are used for emergency situations.
Councilman David Steele said it was part of the mutual aid agreement between the two cities to more effectively respond and provide public services during emergency situations.
The terms of the mutual aid agreement state each party will furnish personnel, equipment, facilities or services during an emergency situation.
Mayor Dwaine Heinrich requested more information, including mileage, years and photos, to get a better understanding of the potential sale.

Parent in prison puts child in trouble
Mary Smith’s 12-year-old son likes to skateboard and build model airplanes. He wants an MP3 player for Christmas. He fidgets when he’s nervous.
And, like other children, he has to live with his parents’ decisions; even if those choices are wrong, or worse, if they are horrible and cause him pain.
His father is in jail.
He’s an alcoholic, and he was charged with attempted murder in February in the stabbing of a relative. Smith, a resident of northern New London County in Connecticut, had to tell her son his father did something awful. (The Bulletin has changed her name and omitted her hometown to protect the identities of her and her son.)
“He started crying,” Smith said of her son. “He just started crying.” She said he doesn’t want to see his father.
His suffering is one that many children know — having a parent in prison.
“There are (almost) no programs to help these children,” said Joseph Petroff, executive director of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Southeastern Connecticut, which started a program to match the children of prisoners with mentors. “That’s why we’re needed.”
Those who work with children in families broken by substance abuse, violence and prison said the children need community support to make it through a devastating time in their lives and become productive citizens.
Children of Promise, which started informally in 2006 and obtained funding in July 2008, grew out of a request by the Department of Correction to try to stop the cycle of incarceration. It serves about a dozen children in southeastern Connecticut; Petroff hopes to add 38 children this year.
The agency received $50,000 last year and will get about $40,000 this year. Big Brother Big Sister agencies in western Connecticut and the Hartford area also have started programs.
Petroff said he’d help more kids if he could. He can’t always find them.
Poverty and isolation
Unlike other struggling families that take advantage of social and community help, those with a parent in prison often do not. Children are afraid to reveal their situation, so they hide it, lie or change the subject.
Or they don’t know; they’re told dad is away, at college or on vacation.
“It’s not a thing you get a lot of public support for, such as if you lose a parent to death or divorce,” said Susan Quinlan, executive director of Families in Crisis Inc. “There are certain social norms. A child’s not going to go to school and say, ‘I’m having trouble because I’m worried about my dad. He’s in jail.’”
Families in Crisis is a nonprofit statewide agency that assists families with a member in prison.
Yet the children may desperately need assistance. If the parent in jail was a wage earner, the family may be launched into poverty. The remaining parent may not have a reliable car; the incarcerated parent may be jailed hours from the family, or the caretaker may be unwilling or unable to pay for gas so the child can visit, and the loss of contact is sudden and extensive.
The family — and by extension, the children — also often struggle with drug or alcohol abuse, or a mental health problem that led to the parent’s incarceration in the first place.
Quinlan said children in these circumstances can be reached, even if it is not easy.
“We know where they are. They’re in our prison visiting rooms,” she said. “They’re in our courts on sentencing days.”
A national issue
As of 2007 — the latest data available — 1.7 million children younger than 18 had a parent in prison, an increase of 82 percent from 1991, according to The Sentencing Project, a national, nonprofit research and advocacy group on criminal justice issues.
“We now have significant numbers of children who are growing up with the experience of having an incarcerated parent at least for some portion of their growing years,” said Marc Mauer, executive director of the project, based in Washington.
The Justice Department doesn’t compile data on children of incarcerated parents often; it costs money, and there’s little attention or interest in it, he said.
‘Never had his father’
Smith, 31, lives with her only child and her boyfriend.
She grew up in Ohio and moved to Connecticut to live with her dad. She dropped out of a local high school, had her son at 19 and had a relationship with her son’s father on and off for 10 years.
“Pretty much, I was just scared,” she said.
Her ex-husband, whose name also is being withheld to protect the child’s identity, was arrested the first time when their child was 4 months old. Every weekend for the next three years, the child rode in the car with his mother or grandparents to visit his father in jail.
His father went to Corrigan, but was transferred through the prison system six times. The child visited his dad wherever he was.
Smith moved in with her ex-husband’s parents and started working at Foxwoods Resort Casino at first, then got an apartment in Norwich with her son.
“It was always just me and him,” she said. “He never bonded with anybody but me. He never had his father growing up.”
The man was released from jail on his son’s 3rd birthday.
Smith said her ex-husband promised he’d be a good boyfriend and father when he got out. And for a while, she said he was.
Then he fathered a child with another woman. That child also lives in Eastern Connecticut. Smith returned to Ohio, and later, the couple tried again.
They married in 2005. But the drinking returned, and they eventually divorced.
Smith’s ex-husband is accused of stabbing a relative several times while drunk in February. He has pleaded not guilty.
“My son knows everything,” Smith said. “Sometimes I feel like I should shelter him from things, but he’s seen so many things in his life.”
She said her boyfriend helps fill the father’s role.
The boy struggles in school. He’s behind in math, social studies and science, and needs a tutor, Smith said. He loves outdoor activities like skateboarding and football.
What he needs, she said, is “just a happy family. People that love him and care for him and want the best for him.”
She hopes he’ll be OK as he gets older.
“He’s a very smart boy,” she said. “Sometimes he has trouble with concentration, but I hope he makes the right decisions. I will help him as much as I can.”
What children want
Beth Merenstein, associate professor of sociology at Central Connecticut State University, is part of a team evaluating programs for children of incarcerated parents by Big Brothers Big Sisters and Families in Crisis.
The Legislature asked the university’s Institute for Municipal Region and Policy to assemble the group of researchers. Their preliminary report is due next month.
Merenstein interviewed 10 children, ages 7 to 16. She asked questions such as, “What is the best thing that could happen to you now?”
“Most people in the field think that the answer would be better resources,” she said. “More money for my family. But in fact, almost all of (the children) answer, ‘For my parent to get out of jail.’”
The worst thing children report about their lives is having the parent — usually the father — gone and not being able to visit, and seeing other children with their dad, she said. Merenstein also interviewed children’s caretakers individually and mentors in groups.
While she said mentoring helps, it’s not a substitute for a parent, even one in jail.
“We see this person as a convicted drug dealer. But the kids just see their father,” she said.
Generations in prison
Those in corrections say a child with a parent in jail is six to seven times more likely to end up in prison himself. It’s unclear where the statistics — often quoted in interviews — come from, and how reliable they are.
The Department of Correction doesn’t keep data on the number of families with generations in jail. But anecdotally, they said they’re seeing this more today than 10 years ago, as inmates have become younger, crimes more violent and sentences longer.
Coletti, warden of Corrigan-Radgowski and a former Norwich police officer, said the public often focuses on recidivism, or keeping inmates from returning to prison once they leave. He believes they also need to look at the familial aspect of jail, and ways to reach the next generation.
He estimated that about 30 percent of the prisoners at Corrigan-Radgowski have an immediate relative serving time.
He’s seen the damage of having a family member in prison. About 25 years ago, he arrested a former high school classmate for assault and booked him at the Norwich police station. They were both in their 20s.
Fast-forward to about a year ago. Coletti, now 49, was walking through the prison housing area looking at who was new. He saw a name and instantly recognized it.
“I went to school with him, I arrested him, I haven’t seen him in years,” he said.
He walked to the cell, expecting someone about his age.
A man about 20 looked up. Coletti asked if there was any relation.
The young man said it was his dad, and he had died.
By the numbers
1.7 million children younger than 18 had a parent in prison, an 82 percent increase from 1991.
809,800 parents were in U.S. federal or state prisons that year, an increase of 79 percent since 1991.
52 percent of all incarcerated men and women were parents. Two-thirds of parents in prison were non-white.
122 percent: The rise in the number of mothers in prison from 1991 to 2007, compared to an increase of 76 percent for incarcerated fathers.

The district is a thriving commercial hub with up to $100 million in business each month
EASTLEIGH, Nairobi – The call to prayer emanating from the minarets of several local mosques competes with honking taxis and shouting street hawkers selling anything from Islamic DVDs to the latest Bollywood movies.
Welcome to Eastleigh, a residential neighborhood in capital Nairobi known as "Little Mogadishu" due to its large Somali population.
It is here that enterprising Somali refugees first set up shop after fleeing the fighting back home following the 1991 ouster of strongman Siad Barre.
Hundreds of people push and shove along the muddy sidewalks outside four-storied shopping malls bearing names like "Bangkok," "Dubai" and "Emirates."
At one end of the street is the Al-Kawthar Mall, Nairobi's largest gold market.
"Change dollar, change dollar, saraf, saraf," young men shout, trying to lure customers to their foreign-exchange bureau.
Not far away, around two hundred Somali women sit in an open hall displaying gold rings, necklaces, earrings and other jewelry.
Another section of the mall consists of about 40 Somali-owned shops that sell gold and silver, mostly imported from Dubai.
Good prices attract many customers to the area, especially newlyweds, retailers and people hoping to sell their jewelry.
A few meters away, visitors will find the New Garissa Lodge Mall, a two-story shopping mall that sells clothing and electronics.
Sixty-inch TV screens, mobile handsets and satellite decoders are displayed prominently on the ground floor of most shops.
On the first floor, conservative Islamic clothing – such as black abayas (long loose dresses) and niqabs (face veils) – is showcased alongside revealing G-strings and other lingerie items.
"You have everything for everybody in Eastleigh – and at unbeatable prices," Abukar Kanyare, a Somali trader who has worked in the area for ten years, told Anadolu Agency.
"That's what attracts thousands of people here every day," he added.
It's also one of the reasons why the neighborhood is quickly becoming not only Nairobi's financial capital, but also a regional hub.
Traders are coming from as far afield as South Sudan, Uganda, Tanzania and Ethiopia to do business in Eastleigh.
According to Hussein Guled, vice-chairman of the Eastleigh Business Association, the thriving commercial district does up to $100 million in business each month.
But despite its significant contributions to the local economy, poor roads and sanitation continue to hinder Eastleigh's mercantile success, with shoppers and traders alike forced to navigate through potholes and mud.
A few minutes before 3pm, activities grind to a halt in most parts of residential Eastleigh.
Several speeding pickup trucks loaded with sacks honk continuously, their lights signaling the arrival of the green narcotic leaves that play such a major role in the Kenyan economy: Khat or Miraa, as it is locally known.
Millions of dollars are earned each year from this lucrative business, which is controlled by well-knit cartels of mostly Kenyan Somalis.
Khat chewing is Eastleigh's most popular pastime, both for the young and the elderly.
Somali music blasts from teashops in which customers chew Khat and discuss developments back home in Somalia, stopping only long enough to exhale clouds of thick shisha smoke.
Eastleigh's history goes back to Kenya's colonial era, when the district was built specifically to house Kenyans of South Asian descent.
Later, Kenyan Somalis began settling in the area, followed by Somali refugees fleeing the fighting in their native country.
In another part of Eastleigh, the aura is distinctly Ethiopian.
The language mostly spoken here is Amharic and Oromo – the local languages of Ethiopia.
The smell of strong Ethiopian coffee and spiced Ethiopian beef is thick in the air, while the music of Teddy Afro – Ethiopia's most popular crooner – can be heard.
Human trafficking is a main source of income on 10th Street, where would-be Ethiopian migrants – on their way to destinations as far afield as South Africa and Europe – make stopovers.
Sharing dingy hotel rooms in squalid conditions; some will be lucky enough to reach South Africa or Europe.
Others remain stuck in Nairobi after having been conned out of their money – or in a prison cell for entering Kenya illegally.
"One can pay up to $1000 to be smuggled to South Africa," local resident Duba Gurach told AA.
"It's a big business involving a cartel of Ethiopian human traffickers and corrupt Kenyan immigration officers."
But human trafficking isn't the only illegal activity associated with Nairobi's Eastleigh district.
Back when piracy off the Somali coast was at its peak, some drew links between the piracy phenomenon and new investments flowing into the thriving locality.
Kenyan investigators have voiced suspicions that Somalia's Al-Shabaab militant group has investments in Eastleigh.
This has led to frequent raids on local mosques and the arbitrary arrest of residents suspected of possible Al-Shabaab links.
"Our [commercial] success has attracted heightened business rivalry with other parts of Nairobi – this may be the reason why there is talk of illegal activities," Mukhtar Adan, an Eastleigh resident, told AA.
"There's no pirate money here. There are no Al-Shabab dollars here," he said.
"If Al-Shabaab had investments here, why would they bomb us time and again?"
Six people were killed and several others injured late Monday when Eastleigh was rocked by twin explosions.
According to witnesses, the explosions targeted two restaurants and a bus stop.
The bombings came only one day after a man was killed in the same neighborhood while assembling an improvised explosive device inside an apartment.
When night falls, many Eastleigh residents say they fear only one thing: corrupt Kenyan police officers.
"We no longer have peace, as the police who are supposed to protect us now hunt us," Ahmed Mahat, a Kenyan Somali, told AA.
"Whether you're a Kenyan Somali with valid documents or a Somali from Somalia, you're likely to be arrested anytime of the day or night," he said.
"We have become like ATM for the police," Mahat said.
This explains the relative lack of nocturnal activity in Eastleigh, where residents generally prefer to spend evenings indoors – except for a handful of scantily-clad "twilight girls" fishing for customers.

Confiscations Included 4 thousand pieces of Adulterated Arabic Seats and Pillows
As MCI continues its Control Campaigns to reveal and detect adulteration and cheating of the consumers commodities in the commercial and industrial institutions, the Ministry closed a warehouse in Najran, after detecting the labors collecting contaminated sponge from containers and municipalities dump for re-dressing such items and producing adulterated spongy mattresses and pillows to be sold and marketed to consumers as newly made. All the quantities had been confiscated and those involved were summoned for investigation and taking the legal measures against them.
The details go back when the MCI field Inspection Teams suspected a transport vehicle carrying sponge mattresses, after the necessary follow-up, it was detected running towards a warehouse to store them. This led to the discovery of large quantities of mattresses inside the warehouse, some of them were prepared for sale and the others for distribution to the upholstery shops. A plant, belonging to the warehouse, was detected as well used for the assembly and re-dressing.
The seized and confiscated items included: More than 3 thousand sponge mattresses, as well as 1,000 pieces of Arabic seats and pillows.
MCI had announced earlier about the implementation of inspection campaigns targeting a number of factories and warehouses in various regions of the Kingdom, which resulted in the detection of labors involved in collecting sponge from the containers and municipality dump, and then they re-coat them to be marketed as imported and new-made.
Large quantities of such items were confiscated with the closure of the sites, and the application of the regulations on those involved, and the illegal residents were referred to the concerned authorities.
MCI stresses that it will not tolerate in the application of the statutory measures on the offenders and those involved in the practice of fraud, and all that puts the health and safety of consumers at risk.
MCI calls on all the consumers to report their complaints and observations to the Notification Center in the Ministry on the phone No. 1900.

Bruce Springsteen, March 29, 2012
In the introduction to his song Jack of All Trades last Thursday at Philadelphia’s Wells Fargo Center, Bruce Springsteen noted—as he had on previous nights—that the song was penned before the explosion of the current debate about the 99% versus the 1%. “I wrote this when there was no Occupy Movement, there was no discernible outrage [about] the crimes that have been committed or the damage done to lives all across the United States,” Springsteen said. Recent events have given the song a renewed relevance in the current discourse about wealth inequality.
This is one illustration of how time can enhance the meaning of a lyric, of how changing events let us see new depths in a work of art. And it was not the only example from Thursday’s show.
That night’s Springsteen concert was my first since the loss of E Street Band saxophonist Clarence Clemons, who passed away in June 2011. Yet the spirit of the band’s larger-than-life sax player filled the arena throughout the evening. When Clemon’s nephew, saxophonist Jake Clemons, took the stage for a solo he seemed to embody the spirit of his late uncle. And at the end of the nearly 3-hour show, during the band’s autobiographical anthem Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out, the instrumental accompaniment went silent as Springsteen’s solo voice intoned the lyric, “When the change was made uptown, and the Big Man joined the band.” Springsteen then thrust the microphone into the air for the audience to pay tribute to the missing band member.
For me, the most poignant moment of the evening came earlier in the set during My City of Ruins, a song which Springsteen cast in a new light to honor the memory of both Clemons and former band member Danny Federici, who died in 2008. In introducing the song, Springsteen began, “We’re so glad to be home. The first time we came to Philly, the E Street Band wasn’t even born yet. [We were] four or five guys out of a smoky little bar in New Jersey. But tonight to get done what we need to get done, it takes a village, baby.” Looking out at the audience, he continued, “We got old friends with us. And we got new friends with us. And I see old faces in the crowd. And I see new faces out there, too…. With your help we’re going to tell a story of hellos and goodbyes. And of the things that leave and of the things that remain.”
In between the song’s chorus and the final verse, Springsteen introduced the E Street Band, now 16 members strong. Following the roll call, he asked the crowd, “Are we missing anybody? Are we missing anybody? Do I have to say the names? Do I have to say the names?” He didn’t. The audience remembered well lost band members Clemons and Federici. “Because if you’re here, and we’re here, then they’re here. So let them hear you,” Springsteen said as he held up the mic to let the crowd make its voice heard, calling out to Clemons and Federici as if the combined cheers of the audience could reach them across the void of death.
My City of Ruins was originally written and performed in late 2000 as a paean to the fading glory of Springsteen’s native Asbury Park, New Jersey. Less than a year later, the song took on new meaning following the September 11, 2001 attacks. When Springsteen performed it on the national telethon “America: A Tribute to Heroes” on September 21, 2001, the song seemed to speak directly to our national loss and desire for renewal.
Last Thursday night, the song gained additional resonance from the recent loss of a beloved friend and longtime member of the band. Although the song’s lyrics originally referenced a romantic relationship, it was difficult not to think of Clarence Clemons when Springsteen sang of the absence of a loved one with the words, “My soul is lost, my friend / Now tell me how do I begin again?”
Yet through these layers of meaning and shifting historical nuance, the song retains a consistent message. Like so many Springsteen songs, My City of Ruins offers the hope of renewal and rebirth in the face of loss and heartbreak, of optimism confronting devastation. Of the things that leave and the things that remain.

Beautiful – thank you for putting words to feelings I have had since being lucky enough to go to the Wednesday show.
Thanks, Rosie. You’re obviously one of the people I was thinking of as I wrote this.
I think it’s so amazing he seems to stay in touch with the “working man” and fight for the underdog. I love it.

After the controversy on unemployment benefits, the president has sought the elusive synthesis left.
Topics explosives for intractable debates, a clash of divergent lines, a pinch of ego squabbles and an improbable synthesis to pack everything … It sounds like a convention of the PS, it is the ruling Socialists. Whether on family benefits or unemployment insurance, they offered these days quite incomprehensible spectacle leaving room for all possible interpretations. The sequence takes place in three stages: an iconoclastic proposal by taking the right wing of the PS, one leapt from the left wing, a focus of the President of the Republic. All on the back of orders from Brussels to Paris to accelerate the pace of reform and threats to dismiss his 2015 budget.
This is how Francois Hollande on Monday rejected attempts at reforms UI expressed Sunday by Economy Minister Emmanuel Macron The Sunday Journal . “Trading on the subject will come in due course, not immediately,” said the Elysee before Labour Minister François Rebsamen not trying to close momentarily debate by ensuring that “there is no place in immediately renegotiate anything and besides, it’s not possible. “
I must say it was on fire. Already last week, the Prime Minister had expressed the same desire from London to initiate reform of unemployment insurance before Francois Hollande tries already to close the debate from Milan. The episode had accredited the idea of a first dissonance between Francois Hollande and Manuel Valls. But by approaching the subject again this weekend, Emmanuel Macron has caused controversy all the more important that his words were involved at the same time stood a Socialist Party national council in Paris. “This has probably inflamed because of it, provides an advisor to President of the Republic, which minimizes the impact of the comments Emmanuel Macron. His response was balanced and he acknowledged that the subject was not relevant. “
Nevertheless, it did not miss, the Socialists are still away, which to denounce the minister’s remarks, which to support it. So that the fault line that François Hollande, and Manuel Valls had tried to cover up last week reappeared. At Matignon, we want to believe that “the matter is closed” and it is said that “the President of the Republic, the Prime Minister and Emmanuel Macron say the same thing: that the issue arises in the context of negotiations between the social partners . . The last date in 2016 we are in 2014 so it is not immediately “
In addition to this formal aspect, there is also a fundamental question: to What good reforming unemployment insurance to get the unemployed back to work if there are no jobs? On this point, the blocks are known and primarily related to rigidities in the labor market, as indeed recalled Monday Jean Tirole. “The French market is pretty grim employment, said the new winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics for his first speaking. I think we have to change things if we want to give a future to our children. “For now, the government has not put in discussion the relaxation of social thresholds. Socialists who welcomed Monday the Nobel Jean Tirole, like François Hollande and Manuel Valls, could also address some of its proposals to reform the labor market, such as to establish a contract single working with test where companies can dismiss exempt period. “This is not the order of the day,” begs do we as president. As for reforming unemployment insurance on the due date, it will fall one year before the presidential election.

|Reviews for Flabbergasted Phenomenon|
| lizzierichards chapter 31 . 11/14/2011
Now this is confusing. What exactly happened with the Volturi? Where was Bella hidden for over a month with only brief phone call contacts from the Cullens? Why did Emmet and Rosalie the ones to pick her up and not Edward? This Bella us really pathetic, endangering her child by not eating. There's supposedly a doctor in the hotel who checks on her, shouldn't this doctor notice tfe weight loss and anxiety? She should gave been sedated at least so that she could rest. I'm surprised she didn't miscarry with the way she doesn't take care of herself. I don't think she deserves to be a mother to Gabriel. She's flaky, overemotional, she overthinks everything. She oh thinks about her feelings, then feels guilty for not taking care of herself. I think she's just plain crazy. Edward keeps doing the same mistake over and over again. He's such an over bearing and over protective liar.
| lizzierichards chapter 20 . 11/14/2011
Why did Jacob had to show his stupid face? He's nothing but an immature, disrespectful trouble maker. Saying i love you to a married woman? who does that? especially since he's imprinted to Leah and he just wanted to hurt Bella. What kind of friend is that? And stupid, guillable Bella, eating up his words, feeling guilty again? Wasn't this rehashed previously in eclipse? Only Bella would be stupid enough to sit on the mud to be talk with JAcob. She's pregnant with placenta previa and has been having back pains and she sits on the mud? in the cold? She knows how this time with Jacob is affecting her husband, Edward and she still talks with him like this? And why did Edward have to bring the bracelet and even got it back for her to wear? It's just ridiculous. They just let themselves be manipulated by JAcob for another of his emotional torture disguised in the form of friendship. I won't be surprised if Bella chooses Jacob as Gabriel's second name. Just saying, with how Bella is acting. Edward will probably agree just to give in to what she wants. Can this get any more crazy ridiculous? Great writing though, it incites this annoyingly strong reactions from me.
| lizzierichards chapter 16 . 11/14/2011
Come on, how come Bella is such a weakling who cannot even defend herself with Lauren. Can't she even talk back? I understand about her reaction with being attacked by those drunks when she couldn't even do a decent scream. She's like a child that needed a parent to hold her hand. It seems ridiculous and it's getting absurd that she can't defend herself or talk back. Must she ways defend on Edward or other people? She's going to have a baby. How can she take care of the baby when she can't even take care of herself?

WOW this story is a-w-e-s-o-m-e!
I love it!
| kara chapter 36 . 2/19/2011
Fantastic story! :)
| Melissa72 chapter 36 . 12/18/2010
Ok. First, you have talent...keep on doing what you are doing and thank you for sharing the gift God gave you to write. Second, am I the only one who thinks your characterization of Bella was...umm...a bit neurotic? This girl was a walking time bomb of self-absorption, cluelessness, and emotional dependency. She made it seem like pregnancy was a crippling disease. Her lack of independence and confidence was...well, noticeable.
But then again, who am I? I can't write to save my life *chuckle* You may want to change the story descriptions from Humor/Drama to just Drama...the only humor was Emmett calling her Belly. I was glad the birth chapters were a bit lighter...or at least Bella wasn't having emotional breakdowns from stubbing her toe:)
Keep up the great work...Oh! I forgot. I didn't buy that Edward would question her fidelity when he found out she was preggers. I get how you tried to make that a possibility...but it stuck out as unbelievable in my book. Thanks for listening to my rambling ConCrit:) God bless~

Very well done! I really loved reading this! I can honestly say that this is the best story on fanfiction that I have read so far. Errors were practically nonexistant, the plot was good, and the characters were each distinct. One thing that is common with writers on this site, is how they let the events of their story unfold. They will often have things happen in ridiculous ways and events, and make it seem very unrealistic (not that vampires are realistic in the first place). I cannot say the same for your story, however. I could picture everything that was happening in my head and everything fit together. Very nice work. I can't wait to read what you come up with next!

Following review at a July 5 session, Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) members unanimously granted several zoning variances sought by a New Milford man for his proposed construction of a 4,400-square-foot retail center at 149 Mt Pleasant Road (US Route 6) in Hawleyville.
The ZBA approved the variances for Walter Kilcourse, who plans a project known as Pogond Brook Plaza at an undeveloped 1.12-acre site on the south side of Mt Pleasant Road, just east of Newtown Power Equipment, Inc.
In September 2015, Mr Kilcourse gained a wetlands/watercourses protection permit for the project from the Inland Wetlands Commission (IWC). The project still requires a site development plan approval from the Planning and Zoning Commission (P&Z).
The several zoning variances would allow Mr Kilcourse to create a driveway and parking spaces within the property’s front setback area, install a commercial sign closer to the street than normally allowed, and place a single dumpster for waste disposal within the front setback/side setback areas, according to ZBA records.
The location of Pogond Brook, which crosses the site in an east-west direction, puts regulatory limits on where parking spaces could be positioned on the site, resulting in the requested driveway/parking variance.
In approving the variances, ZBA members listed topographic conditions at the site as the required “hardship” allowing the variances to be granted.
The property would have a public water supply, municipal sanitary sewers, and natural gas service.
The property lies in a B-2 (Business) zone. The planned use for the property would be “retail/personal services.” The project would have 22 parking spaces.
Project construction time is listed as lasting eight months. Artel Engineering Group of Brookfield has drawn the technical plans for the complex.
Through the wetlands/watercourses protection permit, the IWC allows the applicant to construct a building, build a retaining wall, place some earthen fill on the site, build stormwater drainage structures, install public utilities, construct a parking lot, and install lighting equipment. The IWC approval includes a brook-channel restoration plan for Pogond Brook.
The town also has issued the applicant a flood prevention permit for the site. Pogond Brook has year-round water flow and is a tributary of Pond Brook.

We’re more than just a hospital. We’re an entire network of locations, serving pet lovers around the country — and guided by dedicated teams inside our headquarters.


By Brian Remmel After many years of a strong preference for ‘best of breed‘ security tools, the tides are turning. There’s growing fatigue of the operational downsides – managing countless alerts and manually correlating threats, for example – inherent in this approach. Security products today need to include out-of-box integrations, interoperate with third–party solutions, share threat and contextual information, leverage automation, and above all else, simplify operations. This trend has a name: the security platform.
Products like firewalls have historically been evaluated primarily on their merits as a standalone solution. This was logical since the firewall had always been viewed as a fundamental component of any organization’s security posture. This was also largely reinforced by vendors and industry analysts alike who would widely publish specific categories of firewall feature sets, deployment guides and performance characteristics. But as networks became more interconnected and threats grew more sophisticated and stealthier, the role of the firewall as a “standalone” and isolated solution became increasingly challenged.
As any security engineer will tell you, the answers to difficult questions like “are we vulnerable to this new threat?” or “what is the extent of this compromise?” are rarely found in a single tool. It takes an integrated and coordinated approach to really understand the scope of today’s cyber-threats. To that effect, how should you evaluate a point product like the firewall in the new world of the security platform? It starts with viewing the firewall as the foundation of a robust security platform.
The Future of Firewall
The firewall has long been the star player of any organization’s security stack. But as trends like cloud and mobility have taken off, it has greatly increased the size of the attack surface of our infrastructure and made the job of protecting our networks, data, users, and applications more complicated. What was once a single network perimeter has evolved into multiple micro-perimeters, and traditional firewalls are being augmented by a mixture of physical and virtual appliances and services.
The importance of the firewall hasn’t diminished – in fact, it’s more relevant than ever – but it’s time to think about it differently. We must look beyond form factors like physical or virtual appliances to think about ‘firewalling‘ as functionality. Firewalling is now about delivering world-class security controls – the key elements for preventing, detecting, and stopping attacks faster and more accurately – with common policy and threat visibility delivered where you need it: in the data center, in the cloud, at the branch office.
The firewall has added many advanced capabilities and integrations over the years, but at a certain point, you need something more. You need a single view across your entire security estate. A single point of multivendor integration. And a single place to conduct workflows and track key operational metrics. That’s where the security platform comes in.
The Rise of the Security Platform
The security industry has done a wonderful job of introducing exciting and new product categories. One estimate pegs the number of cybersecurity product categories at 70. As more categories are introduced, the level of noise and complexity rises. And this complexity can be clearly seen mirrored inside any organizations‘ security stack.
Businesses are struggling to operationalize disparate security solutions to maintain consistent policies and uniform threat visibility. According to our CISO Benchmark Study, only 35% of respondents said it was easy to investigate the scope of a compromise, contain it, and remediate it. In response to this challenge, a new product category has begun to take root: the security platform. Sometimes called XDR, the security platform is the central point of integration for a multitude of products. And it’s a welcome solution for the complexity problem that has overwhelmed us.
Some firewall vendors claim to already have a security platform. As Gartner described in the 2019 Magic Quadrant for Network Firewalls, “With firewall providers embedding multiple security features in firewalls and enabling integration and automation capabilities with other security products, firewalls are evolving into network security platforms.” While we applaud these efforts, no other vendor has the breadth of security portfolio and level of integration to deliver a security platform experience like Cisco.
Recently announced at RSA Conference, Cisco SecureX connects the breadth of Cisco’s integrated security portfolio – including market-leading firewall – and the customer’s infrastructure for a consistent experience that unifies visibility, enables automation, and strengthens your security across network, endpoints, cloud, and applications. By connecting technology in an integrated platform, SecureX delivers measurable insights, desirable outcomes, and unparalleled cross-team collaboration.
Investing in a firewall should do more than just meet your needs for today. Ensure that your firewall helps you confidently secure your business as part of an open, integrated platform that will scale to support your organization’s growth and innovation well into the future.
Let’s explore some of the defining characteristics of a security platform – specifically, Cisco SecureX – and discuss what they mean in the context of the firewall.
Visibility has long been touted as a critical need on which to base security. Users, endpoints, applications, etc., as the old adage goes “if you can’t see it, you can’t secure it.” Cisco NGFW offers robust visibility into the users, hosts, applications, mobile devices, virtual environments, threats, and vulnerabilities that exist in your constantly changing network.
Our SecureX platform takes visibility to a whole new level. It expands the aperture and shows your entire security environment in a single view. There’s no time wasted pivoting from one dashboard to the next; alerts are aggregated and prioritized so that you know where to direct your attention first.
SecureX provides unified visibility across all parts of your security portfolio – Cisco or third-party solutions – delivering metrics, an activity feed, and the latest threat intelligence. Crucially, SecureX can deliver key operational metrics to help track the success of your security program: Mean Time to Detection, Mean Time to Remediation, and Incident burndown times. These metrics are derived from full case management capabilities native to the SecureX platform.
Most firewalls today offer numerous integrations with other point products – for example, endpoint protection, sandboxing, or DNS security solutions. Organizations have done their best to integrate a functioning security infrastructure, but incompatible interfaces, steep learning curves, and siloed communication limit interoperability. Making these systems work together is a constant struggle that requires hard-to-find expertise. It’s no wonder that 91% of security leaders think integrating solutions is a significant challenge.
SecureX reduces complexity by integrating products with out–of-the-box interoperability. It connects the breadth of Cisco’s integrated security portfolio and the rest of your infrastructure for a consistent experience across network, endpoint, cloud, and applications. By connecting technology in an integrated platform, SecureX delivers measurable insights, desirable outcomes, and unparalleled cross-team collaboration.
Automation has enormous potential to help organizations to save time and bridge the talent gap. It’s already used with great success today in products like Cisco NGFW. For example, Firepower Management Center automatically correlates security events with the vulnerabilities in your environment so that your team can see which events they need to prioritize. It also automatically recommends security policies to put in place.
A security platform is the perfect place to enable truly powerful automation and orchestration. SecureX will deliver pre-built playbooks focused on common use cases, and customers can easily build their own using an intuitive, drag-and-drop interface.
For example, the SecureX incident workflow uses cross-product automation to gather information relevant to the incident from across technologies and teams into one place. High-fidelity events detected by your firewall or network analytics engine are promoted to Incidents in the Threat Response component of SecureX. From there, the SecureX automated Incident playbook will:
Run an investigation on the information provided in the Incident record against all your SecureX-capable technologies
Save a snapshot of the investigation results
Assign all related observables to a casebook
Alert the security team.
To deliver this capability, the playbook pre-processes the incident to extract observables, determines the verdict for observables, hunts for targets involved and enables you to take mitigation and/or preventative actions such as isolating the targets and blocking domains, IPs, and files.
Sign up for SecureX
These are just some examples of what you’ll be able to do with the first iteration of SecureX. The platform will continue to evolve so your security can keep up with the speed of business, and your business can keep taking new leaps.
SecureX will be generally available in June.

A radon mitigation system is installed in homes and buildings to safely reduce the concentration levels of radon gas inside the breathing zones of occupied buildings.
Installation Performed the Right Way
When we initially come to your home to test for radon, we will complete an inspection to look for any possible intrusion points for radon gas. This inspection helps us develop a plan of action based upon your home to mitigate the radon in the most efficient way possible.
The first step to installing a radon mitigation system is to find a quality suction point that allows easy access, is aesthetically pleasing and will provide the best outcome for success.
Once the suction point has been located, the specialists will drill a 5" hole into the sub-slab of the basement to deploy the mitigation system.
When the hole is complete, the technician will decide how large the "communication pit" needs to be based upon the soil sample and substrate material analysis. This step is important because having the correct dimensions will create the proper vehicle to pull the air from beneath the basement slab.
When the pit is dug, the specialist will analyze a proper discharge point to exhaust the gas outside the home.
These steps help ensure the radon does not have the chance to re-enter the home due to a poorly routed mitigation system.
Once the discharge point has been identified, the next step is the pipe fitting process. The process begins with sealing the pipe base that goes directly into the ground. Sealing is done using a backer rod to fill the spatial gap and finished with an industrial-grade caulk.
When the pipe is set, the mitigation expert will choose the pathway it needs to take through the house. The team will then connect the PVC pipes with a chemical welding agent to secure a proper fill and ensure no leaks in the piping system.
Lastly, your Radon Eliminator mitigation specialist will install the ventilation fan along the pipe pathway. Installing the exhaust fan in the correct location is important to ensure the fan has enough suction to pull the gas from underneath the basement's foundation and up through the piping system all the way out of the home.
Once the radon mitigation installation is complete, the technician will leave a radon testing monitor for 72 hours to ensure the system is working properly.
If, for some reason, the radon levels in your home have not been reduced below the EPA recommended action level, the Radon Eliminator team will return and do whatever they need to reduce the levels at no additional cost to you.
If your home contains elevated levels of radon gas, do not wait to contact Radon Eliminator to install a mitigation system to remove the harmful gas from your home.

Data drives companies of all sizes. From enterprises to medium-sized companies to smaller businesses, IT leaders are updating their data strategies to handle information flowing in and out of a growing number of sources. This includes dozens, or even hundreds, of business apps used across the organization that generate and consume valuable data. Finding a way to integrate that data across all these applications will be a top priority for companies looking to succeed.
Business leaders and IT professionals know this tsunami of data is here, but many don’t yet have a comprehensive strategy to integrate it all, so they rely on stop-gap measures. Four data myths in particular hold companies back from creating an effective, long-term data integration strategy. Here’s a brief overview of each myth — and an explanation of why it’s leading businesses astray.
I Can Build it Myself
Build vs. buy is a perennial dilemma for IT departments. Many have the skills to build their own data integration platform and write code, but the question isn’t can they, it’s should they? Technical expertise is a finite and valuable resource in any company. Allocating experts to build integration workarounds and point-to-point solutions means fewer resources are available for core business functions.
IT can build custom integrations and functionality with APIs and code, but that leaves the IT team on the hook for critical integration functionality like data governance, error checks, monitoring and much more. An alternative like integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS) frees IT from those headaches and the stress of change requests, debugging, maintenance, etc. The capabilities of iPaaS is why its growth is accelerating.
End Users Can’t Handle Even Simple Integrations
Another persistent myth in the data integration sphere is that only highly skilled technicians can connect applications and business processes and maintain those integrations. That was true in the early days — just as it was once true that users couldn’t handle a simple email setup and IT had absolute control over business apps.
Today, business unit leaders and employees choose their own apps, and there’s little or no coordination with other departments or IT. Because there are so many integration requirements, IT can’t be on the hook forever to maintain these integrations every time there is the need for a field change or an error check. The right iPaaS solution standardizes how apps are added and streamlines data flow across applications, making it easier for IT to hand off integrations for the end users to maintain.
My Company is Too Small for a Comprehensive Data Integration Strategy
Smaller companies may not perceive the need for robust data integration capabilities yet. When out-of-the-box integration features aren’t flexible enough to cover their needs, they cobble together workarounds using spreadsheets, email and manual data entry, thinking they’ll address integration as they expand.
The problem with that approach is that integration bottlenecks and data silos don’t go away on their own, and the longer the company puts off finding a comprehensive solution, the bigger the mess they’ll have to clean up later. The problem only grows exponentially. Businesses that address integration early are in a better position to scale and grow than peers that are still handling integration on an ad hoc basis.
It’s Too Soon to Think about Data Integration
Sometimes even larger companies put off committing to an integration solution on the grounds that the need isn’t yet acute. That just delays the inevitable, allowing data silos to proliferate. This means that eventually processes become unsustainable, causing massive delays, lack of visibility and costly errors across the organization. When the company finally does decide to eliminate silos and standardize processes, they’ll have a huge backlog to address.
It’s similar to addressing compliance: Even if the company isn’t able to tackle the issue in a comprehensive way yet, it’s important to lay the groundwork and explore strategies sooner rather than later. Otherwise, the task will grow larger, and the risk only increases as the companies grow.
Digital transformation is bringing fundamental change to businesses across all sectors. Companies in virtually every industry now use a variety of SaaS solutions to solve every business problem. As people deploy more business apps, enabling the secure and smooth flow of data across the organization increasingly becomes a top priority.
IT and data leaders who are thinking about an integration strategy may have considered building their own solution, or use piecemeal integrations every time a new application is added or a new process needs to be automated. They may have concerns about the technical requirements a modern approach like an iPaaS alternative would demand of users and the company. The good news is that today’s simpler, more affordable iPaaS solutions can bust those myths — and make data a real competitive advantage.

With the world’s interest and spotlight on them, BTS will be making their grand return on April 12. RM got us hyped with the release of “MAP OF THE SEOUL : PERSONA” last week, and with the constant release of teasers + concept photos, they surely are keeping ARMYs well-fed.
We don’t know too much about the title track, MV or track list just yet, but judging by the recently unveiled concept photos, it feels like PERSONA will be a bright and bold concept to denote the beginning of a new BTS era.
ARMYs, are you ready to go? Ready to fly?
Let’s get ready to sing along: PERSONA. Who the hell am I? I just wanna go, I just wanna fly. I just wanna give you all the voices till I die. I just wanna give you all the shoulders when you cry.
Formed through survival show, “Under 19,” 1THE9 will be making their debut on the 13th!
Kang Daniel, Twice, Eric Nam, WINNER

Houses in some alleys in Binh Quoi Street and Ngo Tat To Street of Binh Thanh found their furniture submerged by the floodwaters from early morning. The Xo Viet Nghe Tinh Street and the section near the Mien Dong Bus Station were also flooded.
Other roads like the Hanoi Highway in District 2 and 25 Street in Thu Duc District also faced the same situation.
According to the Southern Regional Hydro Metrological Center, the high tide waters are expected to recede within the next few days.

Alphonso is a practical, down-to-earth guy," says NAHB president Kent Conine, a Dallas builder and developer who knows the proposed HUD secretary
from his days in Texas, where Jackson turned around a troubled housing agency.
And, the amendment recommends the HUD secretary
use his administrative authority to establish a resource center for people with disabilities and their families.
A second reason for reluctance to significantly expand Section 202 is the personal ideology of newly confirmed HUD Secretary
Despite a well-publicized promise by HUD Secretary
Cisneros in late 1993, the Clinton Administration has failed to deliver housing aid to the colonias.
These appointments included: Andrew Young as United Nations ambassador; Patricia Roberts Harris as HUD secretary
, and later as secretary of Health, Education and Welfare; and J.
According to HUD Secretary
Jack Kemp, the CFO and five comptrollers will help build a departmentwide structure for managing HUD's financial activities.
He served as HUD Secretary
Shaun Donovan's liaison to the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) - the agency charged with oversight of the Government Sponsored Enterprises (GSEs) - and the Financial Stability Oversight Board (FINSoB) - the entity created to monitor the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP).
Ben Carson welcomed the Senates action and said it comes at a critical time as the Department prepares to support the long-term recovery efforts following Hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria and other natural disasters that have affected the country.
While we've made remarkable progress toward ending veteran homelessness, we still have work to do to make certain we answer the call of our veterans just as they answered the call of our nation," said HUD Secretary
Julian Castro, JD, in a news release.
With Castro becoming the next HUD secretary
and Shaun Donovan soon to become the new director of OMB, the administration will be well positioned to address the important housing policy issues.
NAA/NMHC plan to sign an industry coalition letter asking HUD Secretary
Donovan to rescind the guidance.
Shelley will help lead HUD's effort to change the way we think about our communities," said HUD secretary

Researchers with UCLA's Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center have developed and used a high-throughput molecular screening approach that identifies and characterizes chemical compounds that can target the stem cells that are responsible for creating deadly brain tumors.
Glioblastoma is one of the deadliest malignancies, typically killing patients within 12 to 18 months. These brain cancers consist of two kinds of cells, a larger, heterogeneous population of tumor cells and a smaller sub-population of stem cells, which are treatment-resistant.
The screening system was specifically designed to find drugs that can target that sub-population and prevent it from re-seeding the brain cancer, said study senior author Dr. Harley Kornblum, a Jonsson Cancer Center scientist and a professor of psychiatry and biobehavioral sciences.
"We're pleased that we can present a different way to approach the discovery of potential new cancer drugs," said Kornblum, who also is a researcher with the Eli and Edythe Broad Center of Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research at UCLA. "And by finding these drugs, we may be able to reveal things about the biology of these cancer stem cells."
The study appears in the Oct. 10 issue of Molecular Cancer Therapeutics, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Association of Cancer Research.
After testing more than 31,000 compounds from seven chemical libraries in an initial screen, the team came up with 694 that showed some activity against the brain cancer stem cells. After further narrowing the field down to 168 compounds, they decided to focus on four in future studies because they most successfully inhibited the brain cancer stem cells, Kornblum said.
What Kornblum and his team did in their approach was sort of a reverse of the usual screening processes. Typically, researchers doing high-throughput screening are seeking a drug to hit a specific target they know is on a cancer cell, perhaps a protein that is causing it to grow or a gene that keeps it from dying. In this case, Kornblum said, the team was basically shooting in the dark because the biology of these brain cancer stem cells is largely unknown.
"When brain cancer stem cells were first discovered, we all realized rapidly that we would need to find drugs that attack these cells specifically, because they're resistant to our conventional therapies," Kornblum said. "We needed a way to kill these stem cells."
UCLA's high-throughput screening technology is capable of screening as many as 100,000 compounds in a single day. Researchers generally develop cancer cells lines and then create an assay, a procedure in molecular biology to test or measure the activity of a drug or biochemical compound in an organic sample, in this case the cancer cells.
The cells are loaded into plates with 384 wells each and the drugs are added. The plates are about the size of the palm of an adult hand. The computerized, robotic screening system executes the process from start to finish, adding the compounds sitting in the tiny wells in the plates to the cancer cells, located in corresponding assay plates.
In this study, Kornblum and his team had a few clues to help them in narrowing down potential candidates that kill brain cancer stem cells. One method they used was based on a prior discovery by Jonsson Cancer Center researchers. The researchers had identified genes that correlate with how aggressive a brain tumor is, so Kornblum decided to try to find potential drug candidates that might reduce the expression of these genes. Another approach was to figure out which of the molecules killed brain cancer stem cells with a greater potency than they attacked other cells within glioblastoma.
To grow his cell lines, Kornblum used human tissue taken from UCLA patients diagnosed with glioblastoma. He knew that a certain method of culturing brain cancer cells resulted in a large number of brain cancer stem cells in the population. These cells were then screened with a molecular library of 31,624 compounds available through the cancer center's Molecular Screening Shared Resource. These compounds encompass a wide range of structures and therefore have the possibility of influencing virtually all cellular functions.
"We decided on this type of approach because, although we have learned a great deal about brain cancer stem cells in the past several years, we still have not discovered enough of their biology to be sure that any single target will be the right one to hit," Kornblum said.
Going forward, Kornblum and his team will further study the four identified "lead" compounds to see if they help reveal the biology of the brain cancer stem cells and potentially result in a new and more effective therapy for these deadly brain cancers.
"One of our goals was to determine whether some compounds selectively act on glioblastoma stem cells compared to the less tumorigenic cells from the same tumor," the study states. "This selectivity may allow for the delineation of pathways and processes that are highly important to these cells. By making sure that a drug candidate has the potential to attack these stem cells, one might ensure the highest chance of therapeutic success."
Funding for the study was provided by the Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center, the National Cancer Institute and the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke.

Lee Emeni of Hagerstown might be playing with fire when it comes to welcoming the New Year.
"I'm going to visit some friends in Herndon, Va,. because fireworks are legal there, and we can have a good time," said Emeni, 25. "I usually hang out with friends or go out somewhere for New Year's."
Emeni was among area residents who talked about their New Year's Eve plans on Wednesday.
He said that every year he usually goes with his first offer when deciding what to do with friends for the holiday.
"I was actually invited to the (Inner) Harbor this year (in Baltimore), but I promised my friends I'd be in Virginia," he said.
Reggie Turner of Hagerstown is also going to Virginia to celebrate the New Year, but for a different reason. Turner, 39, said he is visiting his parents in Appomattox, Va., where he grew up.
"You can't beat mom's home-cooking," he said. "We'll probably spend all night New Year's Eve critiquing Dick Clark."
Turner said his New Year's plans change from year to year.
"My plans vary, but I like going to visit my parents and seeing old friends, and where I grew up," he said.
Hagerstown resident Ken Frushour said his plans always include getting together with his extended family, which can number between 50 and 60 people.
"We plan to rent out an activity building at a place near Thurmont and play games, and just have a good time," he said. "We've been doing this every year for as long as I can remember."
Paul Jack of Woodsboro, Md., however, said he is not going out for the holiday. Jack said he plans to spend New Year's Eve and New Year's Day at home with his family.
"We usually go out to a friend's house and watch the ball drop," he said. "But this year we plan on doing absolutely nothing, just sitting back and relaxing."
Jesus Hernandez of Hagerstown has to work at Frederick Memorial Hospital on New Year's Day, but he said he does not mind.
"I work whenever I can, and I can spend New Year's Eve with my family," he said. "I'll probably cook for them; I love to cook."
Boonsboro resident Mike Hollinger said he plans to go to a friend's house in Hagerstown with his wife on New Year's Eve.
"We'll probably have a few drinks and play cards," he said. "It'll be nice to converse with our friends."
Hollinger said that they used to go out on the town on New Year's Eve but choose not to do it now.
"We like to stick with our crowd," he said. "We used to go to bars and places like that, but now it's easier for us to stay in."
Some area residents have explosive New Year's plans
