Motegi Super GT: Button, Yamamoto crowned in tense finale
Jenson Button and Naoki Yamamoto secured the Super GT title in a tense Motegi finale, as ex-Formula 1 champion Button resisted a determined charge by Ryo Hirakawa in the closing stages.
Kunimitsu Honda pair Button and Yamamoto had to finish ahead of the #1 TOM'S Lexus LC500 shared by Hirakawa and Nick Cassidy to win the title, and did so by taking third place, just 1.5 seconds ahead of their main rivals.
It marks Honda's first Super GT title since 2010, with Button becoming the first rookie to win the championship since Toranosuke Takagi achieved the feat in 2005.
Yamamoto, who won the Super Formula title last month at Suzuka, also becomes the first driver to complete a clean sweep of titles in Japan's two most prestigious series since Richard Lyons in 2004.
The race was won by ARTA Honda pair Takuya Izawa and Tomoki Nojiri from pole, with Cerumo Lexus pair Hiroaki Ishiura and Yuji Tachikawa finishing second, 1.8s down at the finish.
How the race unfolded
Izawa led away at the start from pole as Yamamoto held second, while Cassidy made up one place on the opening lap to move into fifth behind Bertrand Baguette in the #64 Nakajima Honda and Tachikawa's #38 Cerumo Lexus.
That was how the order remained at the front until Izawa pitted the #8 NSX-GT from the lead to hand over to Nojiri on lap 19 of 53, at which point Yamamoto assumed control of the race.
Cassidy took second as Baguette and Tachikawa pitted to hand over to respective teammates Kosuke Matsuura and Ishiura, and both Cassidy and race leader Yamamoto hit pit lane together at the end of lap 29.
Button, taking over from Yamamoto, filtered back into fourth place, albeit quickly picking off Matsuura.
But the Englishman was unable to find a way by Ishiura, who did Lexus stablemates Cassidy and Hirakawa a huge favour by holding off Button's #100 NSX-GT for several laps.
In that time, Hirakawa was able to climb from eighth up to fourth, brusquely passing a fading Matsuura, and quickly set about closing the seven-second gap between himself and Button ahead.
Within three laps, he had cut the deficit to less than two seconds, and with five laps to go he was right on Button's tail.
The gap between Button and Hirakawa ebbed and flowed as the pair negotiated slower GT300 traffic, but Button was able to score a decisive break on the penultimate lap and begin the final tour with 1.5s in hand.
That was enough for him to bring home the #100 Honda ahead of the #1 Lexus by the same margin and secure the title.
Six seconds ahead, Nojiri was able to manage his advantage over Ishiura's Lexus to claim a second victory of the season for himself and ARTA Honda teammate Izawa.
Completing the top five was the #19 WedsSport Lexus shared by Yuji Kunimoto and Kenta Yamashita, ahead of the #6 Team LeMans Lexus of Kazuya Oshima and Felix Rosenqvist.
Nissan's top finisher was the #23 NISMO GT-R of Tsugio Matsuda and Ronnie Quintarelli in seventh.
Baguette and Matsuura ended up down in 12th after the latter was hit from behind by the #38 TOM'S Lexus of outside title contender Yuki Sekiguchi.
Izawa and Nojiri's victory moved them up to third in the final points ahead of Sekiguchi, who failed to score in 13th.

GT300: LEON Racing take honours
An open GT300 class title fight was won by LEON Racing Mercedes pair Haruki Kurosawa and Naoya Gamou, who took advantage of misfortune for Lamborghini to take their first class win of the season.
Marco Mapelli had opened up a commanding lead of 13 seconds in the #88 JLOC Lamborghini Huracan GT3 in the opening part of the race before the Italian suffered a right-rear puncture.
Shortly after Mapelli pitted for repairs and to hand over to teammate Kazuki Hiramine, the #88 car suffered another puncture, this time the rear-left, effectively ending its race.
Kurosawa fell from second on the grid to fifth at the start, but he and Gamou worked their way back into contention in the #65 Mercedes-AMG GT3 after not changing tyres during the pitstop.
Gamou inherited a seven-second lead and held on to win by 2.4s ahead of the #31 Toyota Prius of Koki Saga and Kohei Hirate, he and Kurosawa taking the title from pre-race points leaders Shinichi Takagi and Sean Walkinshaw.
From 10th on the grid, Takagi was not able to make enough progress to trouble the leaders in the first stint, with Walkinshaw eventually bringing home the #55 ARTA BMW M6 GT3 in ninth.

Richarlison joined Fluminense for around £2m in January 2016.
The 20-year-old has impressed during his time there, scoring six goals and assisting three in 15 appearances this season.
He is comfortable operating as a traditional centre forward or out on the wing.
And, according to Calciomercato.com, his performances have not gone unnoticed at Old Trafford.
They claim United are interested in signing Richarlison after scouting him on several occasions.
But the Red Devils will reportedly face competition from AC Milan in the hunt for the Brazil Under-20 international's signature.
Calciomercato.com believe Fluminese are seeking around £18m for one of their brightest prospects.
United have already been busy this summer, signing Victor Lindelof and Romelu Lukaku for a combined fee of more than £100m.
But Jose Mourinho insists he will not be held to ransom in the transfer market.
“Everybody knows because I said I would like four players, I asked for four players, and I’m ready to go from four to three because the market is difficult, because some clubs think the market is different from others,” he said.
“We are not a club that is ready to buy and buy and buy non-stop, we are not a club that is ready to pay what clubs want us to pay so I’m ready to go from four to three. With these three it just gives us a better balance to the team and give us better conditions to compete.
“The transfer fees don’t surprise me, really. I kept saying there is big economic power at every club that allows clubs to say no. Or to say pay what I want or you don’t get it.
“I can imagine City would like to pay £25m for Kyle, I can imagine that, but I’m sure they knocked on Spurs price and they were told this is the price and if you don’t pay you don’t get.
“So you have the option to pay or not. The strange thing now is I am used to teams paying big amounts for big players. And now everybody is paying big amounts for good players. And there is a difference between good players and big players and now the figures are really crazy also for normal players.”

Indian Pharmaceutical firm Zydus Cadila, on January 24 said that it has received positive results from phase 2 (b) trials of Desidustat in COVID-19 patients conducted in Mexico. The pharma company had secured permission to conduct the trial in Mexico by country’s regulatory authority Cofepris in June 2020. Following the successful studies, the company reported that drug efficiently improved the production of red blood cells which could reduce deaths in coronavirus patients.
"Patients infected with COVID-19 have been reported to display signs of 'Hypoxia' leading to organ failure and death despite the use of antivirals, anti-inflammatory drugs or ventilators... The phase 2(b) results of this study revealed that Desidustat treatment led to increased red blood cell production and improved oxygen delivery to tissues,” Zydus Cadila, which is part of Cadila Healthcare, said in a statement.
Desidustat is an investigational drug which had previously undergone trials for the treatment of anaemia and chronic kidney disease. Elaborating further on Mexican trials, Zydus Cadila revealed that none of the hospitalised patients required mechanical ventilator in the Desidustat arm, while 25 per cent of COVID-19 patients on the standard of care arm required mechanical ventilation."
Speaking to ANI, Pankaj Patel, the Chief executive of the company reckoned that they were excited to “report for the first time” that the Desidustat had shown potential to prevent cute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in COVID-19 patients. “ARDS is associated with high mortality rate and Zydus remains committed to further develop this novel therapy for patients suffering from ARDS,” he added. Following the announcement, the shares of the pharmaceutical firm also shot up by 0.59 per cent.
This comes as India, which began its vaccination drive earlier this month, has successfully inoculated over 16 lakh people. Meanwhile, the country's caseload of COVID-19 infection climbed to 1,06,67,736.

My parents and little brother surprised me at my apartment last night when I got home from work, and we had to use something other than my coffee cups to ring in the new year.
My mom brought everything but the kitchen sink- pots, pans, a huge piece of roast beef, vegetables.
They stayed the night, and as I was covering the Capital One Bowl today, they were cooking, and cleaning, and fixing my apartment.
I came home from work and dinner was ready, my laundry was all done and folded, my refrigerator was cleaned out and practically color-coordinated, and that knob that had been hanging off my laundry room door for months, was back to normal.
I gave them all a big hug and kiss before they left and told them they could come back anytime.
So here's to a new year; no matter what kind of glass you're drinking out of, may you be toasting with the people you love and cherish every moment.

Nick Herbert expresses frustration at lack of progress on bypass
Commenting on the Regional Transport Board’s confirmation of its priorities for transport in the South East between 2011 and 2016, including the scheme for an Arundel bypass, Arundel & South Downs MP Nick Herbert, said:
"It's all very well that improvements to the A27 at Chichester and the A24 between Ashington and Southwater could begin in five to ten years' time, and that the Arundel bypass could be considered for an early start in a decade's time, but that's a long wait. What about the hospital situation? What about the increase in housing numbers? What about the environmental damage to the Downs and villages caused by rat-running?
"I don't see the point of upgrading the A27 at Chichester if the bottleneck at Arundel remains. The bypass really must be brought forward."


Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Monday claimed that the odd-even road rationing scheme was no longer required as the “skies are clear”. The chief minister had last week said that the odd-even rule may be extended if required.
The scheme was implemented in the national Capital between November 4 and November 15. It was suspended for two days on account of Guru Nanak’s 550th birth anniversary.
The overall air quality index in Delhi at 1 pm was recorded in the “poor” category at 209, according to the Central Pollution Control Board. The real-time air quality index was recorded at 215, according to SAFAR. The CPCB index typically differs from that of SAFAR because it averages values for 24 hours.
Out of all the CPCB monitoring stations in Delhi, which recorded air pollution levels between “moderate” to “poor” at 1 pm, the one at the Delhi Technological University was the worst at 264. This was followed by the Dr Karni Singh Shooting Range in the south-eastern part of the city, and Jahangirpuri area in North West Delhi, which recorded 257 as the air quality level.
An AQI between 0 and 50 is considered “good”, 51-100 falls under “satisfactory” zone, 101-200 is “moderate”, 201-300 “poor”, 301-400 “very poor” and 401-500 is “severe” category. The index has been “severe” in Delhi for most parts of this month, but improved to “very poor” on Saturday and “poor” on Sunday.
Although the air quality levels improved a bit on Monday, a bulletin from the Air Quality Early Warning System under the Ministry of Earth Sciences said that pollution levels were likely worsen again. “Air quality will continue to be in ‘poor’ category on Monday,” the bulletin said, according to the Hindustan Times. “However, it may dip on Tuesday with slowing down of winds and may fall into ‘very poor’ zone.”
Experts at the agency also said that the wind speed is expected to drop to 15 to 20 km per hour on Monday and further slow down to 6 and 8 km per hour. The air quality could dip again on November 20 and November 21 due to low wind speed, moderate fog, drop in temperature, and cloud cover, they said. This is likely to lead to toxic smog again.
The Kejriwal-led Delhi government has been facing flak from the Supreme Court and the Opposition over rising air pollution. Last week, schools in Delhi were ordered to be shut for two days as the city’s air quality index hit dangerously high levels. The Supreme Court on Friday expressed concern that the odd-even road rationing scheme in Delhi was not effective in reducing pollution.

Ports of Stockholm has been awarded funding from the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency and the EU for investing in onshore power supply.
Ports of Stockholm’s all-new freight port, Stockholm Norvik Port, opened in May in a location that offers new opportunities for efficient and sustainable transportation in the expanding Stockholm and Mälardalen region.
Protection & Indemnity insurers American Club and Eagle Ocean Marine issue advice on key action points that can immediately make a difference in a video log entitled ‘Seafarer Mental Wellness – Five Things the Industry Can Do Now’.
The establishment of Euroglobe at Stockholm Norvik Port creates entirely new opportunities for handling goods between different modes of transport and handling export goods.
Ports of Stockholm has applied for EU grant funding for an environmental initiative that would result in significant reductions in carbon dioxide and other air pollutant emissions from the cruise ships in Stockholm.
The 2020 cruise season is expected to be another record year in terms of passenger numbers for Ports of Stockholm. The season will see almost 290 cruise calls, with as many as 13 maiden visits.

A Preview of Alabama’s Impact At The Paris Air Show
I am too young ever to have attended the World’s Fair. I have also never been to a European Airshow either. I can only imagine that the atmosphere at both is very similar. The excitement and buzz around the events must be electrifying. Today’s article will begin a series of articles I will write over next several days previewing the news and announcements coming out of the Paris Air Show this year. This article will be a general overview of the entire show. Subsequent articles will preview what to expect from Boeing, Airbus, industrial recruiters, and government officials from Alabama, all of whom have interests in the state. If any aviation news comes out of the air show that affects Alabama, I will bring it to you next week. After the air show wraps up, I will bring you some ‘postgame analysis.’
Expect to hear about a slew of plane orders coming at the show. They happen every year, and this year will be no different. Both Boeing and Airbus have had very anemic order books the last several months. The low orders are not unusual for this time of year, but this year’s pace has been particularly slow. It could mean one of two things.
It could mean that everyone is holding their order announcements until the air show. There is probably some of this going on. As I mentioned earlier, the months before the European Air shows — the air show alternates every other year between Paris, France and Farnborough, England, just outside of London — are usually slow for order announcements. The airplane manufacturers love to make big splashes and massive order announcements at the airshow. It’s part of the reason that the airshow has that World’s Fair atmosphere.
Another thing it could mean is that plane orders are slowing down from their frantic pace of the last decade. With the events of the last several months (Boeing 737 max planes crashes, safety issues, and grounding) there has certainly been a downturn in orders. Airbus has also seen a downturn orders recently with the retirement of their Cheif Salesman, John Leahy and management turnover.
It will be interesting to see how many order announcements we see and for how many and what types of planes will be ordered.
There is always a strong presence of defense contractors at these airshows, and Paris will be no different. It will not just be the big players in the defense sector either. There will be smaller contractors there as well. For example, an Israeli company is planning on showing off their latest drone technology, and Leonardo will have a strong presence at the show as well.
Don’t worry though, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, Boeing Defense, and Airbus Defense will be showing off their offerings as well.
While there is always a few defense contracts announcements at the show, most of the business conducted in this sector is more about making contacts and showing off the goods to potential customers.
With the recent emergence of private companies in this sector, this has become one of the fastest growing segments of the airshow every year. Again the big boys, Airbus and Boeing will have products on display, but also look for presentations from private companies like Jeff Bezo’s Blue Orgin (which has facilities in Huntsville, AL), Elon Musk’s SpaceX, and Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic, the emerging players in the private space industry.
No airshow would be complete without helicopters. Look for a lot of announcements about passenger comfort, experience improvements, and technology upgrades coming out of this sector instead of new product announcements. A lot of the helicopter news will also relate to the defense sector as well.
Industrial Development and Recruitment
I will cover more of this topic when I cover the preview and what to expect for Alabama from the Paris Air Show later this week, as you will be very impressed with the effort Alabama puts into the Air Show every year, but they are not the only ones that will be there either.
Every year the European Air Show attracts industrial recruiters from all over the world looking to build or expand the aerospace sector in their areas. There is no better place to meet industry decision makers, make contacts, and start to build relationships than the one location where everybody will be. I know for a fact that the city of Jackson, Ms is sending a delegation first the first time this year, as well as many other municipalities and regions from the U.S. as well.
There might be an industry merger or acquisition announcement or two at the Air Show as well. So stay tuned.
With over 1,500 exhibitors and over 140,000 expected to attend this year’s air show, you can probably understand why I compared it to the atmosphere around a World’s Fair. Next week will be THE biggest week of the year in the aviation world.

EAST ANGLIA POTATO DAY
Potato Day 2015
Varieties for February 2014
Varieties ordered for February 2013
Varieties List 2012
Blight has changed
Early July 2014, and blight has been getting busy. You can register with blightwatch on line to see how close it is getting to you. We recommend that you inspect your crops every day because blight does not take its time to spread and kill. If your plants have finished flowering, it makes good sense to cut off the tops now (very little goes into tubers after flowering). If blight has begun, you stand very little chance of stopping it, so cut off the tops when you identify the disease and compost those tops. Sarpo varieties will not need to be cut down however.
Our thanks to all of you who supported Potato Day on February 8th 2014.
We had 90 varieties to choose from. We kept to our promise to keep brown rot out of the country by sticking to UK-sourced seed. A few varieties we had not seen before, but most were familiar old favourites.
We have also kept to our promise to support the Sarvari Trust. This organisation has brought the Sarpo varieties to the market. High yielding and tasty Sarpo Mira and Sarpo Axona are getting better known for their resistance to late blight (
) that is in a different league from other so-called resisters. We saw you turning to Sarpo Mira and Axona in a big way this year so we know that the word is spreading.
If you missed February 8th, put next year's date into your diary ... February 14th 2015 still at Stonham Barns. If you still want seed this year, look at the "Links" page on this website and find the Essex event on February 22nd.
The East Anglia Potato Day
is an annual event that has
been running since 1996.
It is organised and run
entirely by volunteers from
three organic gardening groups:
Norfolk Organic Group
Suffolk Organic Gardeners
Ipswich Organic Gardeners Group.
We try to make available up to
100 varieties of seed potatoes,
which are sold as individual
tubers, so that you can buy as
many or as few as you require.
We also aim to offer as many
organic varieties as possible,
usually about 25%.
**** The next East Anglia Potato Day is Saturday, 14th February 2015 ****

Over ten percent of Americans lack medical insurance. They can usually get care in an emergency roomвЂ”but this treatment comes with a potentially high bill if they experience a medical emergency. Unpredictable medical costs, like ER visits, can certainly blow a family group spending plan. Likewise, without insurance coverage routine, medical expenses, like medications, may contend with necessities like rent and meals. The many benefits of medical health insurance, then, are both medicalвЂ”such as better access to careвЂ”and monetary. Certainly, research discovers that medical health insurance protection decreases bankruptcy prices, decreases the amount of bills delivered to range, raises fico scores, and safeguards families from catastrophic expenses that are medical understood to be a lot more than 30% of earnings.
While pay day loans are thought вЂњloans of final resort,вЂќ almost 70% of individuals who make use of them report doing this for ordinary as opposed to unanticipated costs and users just just take down the average of eight loans per year.
pay day loans are short-term, high-interest loans which are very popular among low-income Us citizens.
Strong proof supports the premise that Medicaid can enhance household funds. We chose to learn the end result of medical health insurance using one specific monetary result: payday borrowing. The payday that is typical supplies the debtor $400, that he/she must repay inside a fortnight. The cost for that loan is usually $60 or more, which amounts to a yearly rate of interest greatly more than exactly exactly exactly what the buyer could be charged by credit cards business or other more lender that is traditional. While pay day loans are believed вЂњloans of final resort,вЂќ almost 70% of people that utilize them report doing this for ordinary in place of unanticipated expenses and users just just avant loans reviews take down a typical of eight loans each year. Because of this, payday financing is controversial and several states have actually outlawed it completely.
The 2010 low-cost Care Act offered states with all the chance to expand Medicaid, medical health insurance when it comes to bad, with their residents that are low-income. Over 50 % of states have inked therefore. To be able to separate the causal effectation of wellness insurance coverage on payday borrowing, we studied CaliforniaвЂ™s early Medicaid expansion in belated 2011 and early 2012. We compared payday borrowing in California counties pre and post they expanded Medicaid. As a control team, we utilized counties into the other countries in the country that never ever expanded Medicaid.
We found an 11% fall in payday borrowing after counties expanded Medicaid.
We went analyses that are various concur that fall in borrowing had not been driven by other pattern within the information. We discovered no explanation that is alternative the effect.
In general, our research provides extra proof that, whenever low-income People in the us gain medical health insurance, they gain some sort of monetary protection that protects them through the have to turn to high-interest loans which will make ends meet. Such a choosing contributes just one more good explanation to cut back the share of People in the us that are uninsured.

Hyper IgM Syndrome
Combined B & T-Cell Disorders
hyper-IgM syndrome and p. 115
hyper-IgM syndrome p. 115
Hyper IgM syndrome is a problem where B cells are unable to undergo antibody class-switching, meaning that they can produce IgM antibodies, or immunoglobulins, but struggle to produce other types of antibodies, and that leaves individuals at risk for certain infections.
Let’s take a look at how B cells end up secreting different types of antibodies. Each B cell is born in the bone marrow from a stem cell and develops its own B cell receptor, which sits on the cell surface. The B cell receptor consists of two parts - a protein called CD79 that communicates with the rest of the cell and a membrane bound IgM or IgD antibody that can bind to an antigen. An antigen is any substance recognized by that particular antibody.
Each antibody has two identical light chains and two identical heavy chains that combine into a Y shape. So this Y-shaped antibody’s got two arms with identical tips, which is called the variable region. This variable region contains an antigen binding domain that’s unique to that antibody.
Below the variable region, or toward the point where the arms meet, is the constant region where every member of an antibody class is identical – so all IgM antibodies have the same constant region, but IgM and IgA constant regions are different.
And there are five classes of antibodies in total: IgM, IgG, IgA, IgE, and IgD class antibodies. And each antibody class has a slightly different job. For example, IgMs are part of B cell receptors, and are the first free-floating antibodies produced in an immune response. They’re secreted as a pentamer, meaning there are five antibodies connected together, which provides many binding sites for grabbing antigens and taking them out of the blood. Each antibody has complement protein binding sites on the heavy chains, so these IgM pentamers are also great at activating complement proteins, which help destroy and remove pathogens.

Despite COVID-19, foreign investors’ new capital registered in Vietnam reached USD 22.15 billion in the first nine months, up 4.4 percent compared to the same period last year, as heard at the Government Portal’s online conference held on September 27 with the participation of a number of localities housing foreign direct investment (FDI) projects.
At the event, Deputy Minister of Planning and Investment Nguyen Thi Bich Ngoc said the figures showed the Vietnamese Government’s special attention to investors and business climate improvement.
The Government has listened to investors’ proposals and tasked ministries, localities and sectors involved with tackling their difficulties, she added.
Representatives of participating FDI firms said they believe in Vietnam’s business climate and hoped the authorities to continue prioritizing vaccinations for workers, opening the market for production recovery, and simplifying administrative procedures.
Choi Joo Ho, President of Samsung Vietnam, stated Samsung will not change its investment strategy in Vietnam.
In time to come, Samsung will continue to expand production and invest in equipment in its six factories operating in the nation, while upgrading and investing more in research and development to make Samsung Vietnam a major production base in the world, he added. Samsung Vietnam is building a USD 220 million R&D center in Hanoi.

Trump’s deal with Dems irks GOP
Washington — President Donald Trump was in the mood to celebrate after cutting a big deal with opposition Democrats.
Joshing with Northeastern officials in the Cabinet Room, Trump hailed New York Democrat Andrew Cuomo as “my governor” and traded banter with Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer, another fellow New Yorker.
“If you just dropped in from outer space, you wouldn’t know what the last eight months have been like,” said Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., recalling the friendly exchanges between Trump and Schumer during the meeting with New York and New Jersey lawmakers.
That would be the same Schumer whom the president had previously slammed as a “clown” and “Cryin’ Chuck.”
“In some ways it’s almost like they were completing each other’s sentences,” King said.
On display at that chummy scene Thursday was the Trump who’s emerged in full this past week: Trump the independent.
A president who spent months catering to the Republican conservative wing now appears unbound by ideology and untethered by party allegiances.
It’s not a complete surprise to his fellow Republicans. They long have worried that Trump, a former Democrat, might shift with the political winds. But Trump’s overtures to Democrats have left Republicans in an awkward and perplexing position, undercut by their leader and unsure of what’s next.
“Our grass roots are very confused,” said Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., head of the conservative House Freedom Caucus, on MSNBC Friday. Meadows said he viewed the deal as a “unique situation because of the devastation in Texas.”
Trump’s deal with Democrats to raise the U.S. borrowing limit and keep the government running for three month months — all in the name of speeding relief to hurricane victims — quickly passed Congress and gave him the opportunity to savor a victory after months of legislative setbacks.
He’s now talking about possible future deals with Democrats — doing away with votes on the raising the debt cap, and shielding from deportation young immigrants living in the United States illegally who came brought here as children.
“I think that’s what the people of the United States want to see,” Trump said. “They want to see some dialogue.”
It’s unclear how much of Trump’s turnabout is a deliberate strategy to create space for his tax overhaul this fall or simply a deal-maker’s gut decision, bargained during an Oval Office session that left his fellow Republicans gobsmacked.
Trump has been frustrated by GOP leaders and blames House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., for his inability to score big triumphs in Congress. He’s appeared unconcerned about dismissing their opposition to the debt ceiling deal, focusing instead on the fact that the move has him rare kudos with some television commentators.
Trump sprinkled salt on the wound Friday by reminding GOP leaders via Twitter about their failed efforts to overhaul former President Barack Obama’s health law.


Newspaper contends 'sealed' court records are public
The Columbus Dispatch - February 19, 2013 04:12 PM
The Cincinnati Enquirer is asking the Ohio Supreme Court to order a Butler County judge to release thousands of criminal-conviction records it contends are being illegally withheld.
A judge has routinely – and immediately -- sealed the convictions of some offenders, principally students at Miami University in Oxford, for 14 years, according to the newspaper.
Problem is, the records were illegally sealed and, as such, remain public records, The Enquirer argues in its filing with the Ohio Supreme Court.
The judge has been sealing records of criminal convictions by citing a section of state law that permits those found not guilty or against whom charges are dismissed to petition to seal such records.
Of course, the cases being disputed by newspaper involve convictions and different law comes into play. First-time offenders are entitled to petition a judge to seal a conviction after one year for a misdemeanor and after three years for certain non-violent felonies.
The Butler County prosecutor, who represents the judge, has said the court records cannot be provided because they have been sealed and have shed their status as public records.
However, the newspaper is arguing before the justices that since the records were illegally sealed, they never have been defrocked of their status as public records under court rules and state law.
( The Enquirer story makes a reference to criminal-conviction records of Ohio University students in Athens being routinely sealed. That is true, but the chief city prosecutor says legal officials there follow the correct section of law in sealing records after the mandated waiting period.)

President Emmanuel Macron laid out his vision for Europe in a major speech at the Sorbonne yesterday. This speech was billed as an Initiative for Europe and set out the President’s ambitions in a range of areas – defence, counter-intelligence, asylum and migration policy, an external policy focused on Africa and the Mediterranean, a sustainable development agenda (including ideas for a more flexible CAP), addressing the challenges of the digital economy, reforms of the eurozone, and institutional reform. He proposed that each Member State that signs up to this agenda (recognising that not all will want to) should organise a citizen’s dialogue in the coming months with a view to feeding into a new “group for overhauling Europe” which would be tasked to produce a report by Summer 2018 on measures to implement these ambitions.… Read the rest
There is widespread concern that the ongoing negotiations on a transatlantic free trade area between the US and the EU, known as the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP), may result in a watering-down of EU food safety standards under US pressure to remove measures which are perceived as barriers to trade.
According to a report from the US-based NGO the Centre for Food Safety, “many analysts believe that a central aim of the negotiations is to dismantle many food safety regulations that corporations view as impediments to trade and profitmaking.”

An Irish Parliamentary Committee has just published the results of its investigation into the pork dioxin crisis in Ireland last December, which led to the slaughter of pigs on a number of farms which had been fed contaminated feed and the recall of all Irish pork products produced since 1 September from the home and export markets. In an earlier post, I provided some background to the crisis. I argued that the contamination incident raised three questions: how was it that the praised EU hygiene controls broke down in this instance? What will be the overall cost to the sector and to the economy of the dioxin contamination and the product recall? … Read the rest
After the forceful and successful management of the agricultural dossier by the French Presidency in the second half of 2008, it was inevitable that the agenda for the Czech Presidency would be a light one, and this is also reflected in the activity level for this blog since the beginning of this year.
Nonetheless, even in a context where most attention is focused on dealing with the financial crisis and the strengthening recession hitting Europe, Europe’s agricultural and food industries continue to be required to address regulatory issues affecting the governance of the sector. One of these issues concerns the regulatory environment for genetically modified products (GMPs), and I am indebted to EurActiv for drawing my attention to the outcome of a meeting of the Environmental Council in early December which gave a series of political directions to the Commission on this issue.… Read the rest

The Council also welcomed the political agreement on the CAP Health Check and, in a move surely made with one eye on the upcoming second referendum in Ireland on the Lisbon Treaty, it “expressed its support for Ireland’s effort to deal with the situation relating to pigmeat and its prompt precautionary action.… Read the rest
SPS (sanitary and phytosanitary standards) barriers figured prominently in the final Agricultural Council of 2008 under the French Presidency. Agricultural Ministers agreed Council Conclusions on the safety of imported agricultural and agri-food products and compliance with Community rules. At the same meeting, EU Farm Ministers rejected a Commission proposal to allow the use of antimicrobial substances to treat poultry carcasses, which would have re-opened the Community market to US imports. Is there a danger that food safety protection becomes an excuse for protectionism?
Europe’s lastest food safety incident stems from the confirmation of elevated levels of dioxins in Irish pigmeat last Saturday. As a result, all Irish pork and bacon products from pigs slaughtered in Ireland since 1st September 2008 have been recalled. Consumers have been advised, as a precautionary measure, not to consume Irish pork and bacon products at this time and to dispose of any purchased since the 1st of September 2008. The discovery of this contamination – which has been sourced back to a small feed mill recycling bakery and confectionery waste for animal feed – is a calamity for the Irish pig sector and could yet have major adverse consequences for the Irish food processing sector as a whole.… Read the rest

Because the debt continued to be unpaid, Yale Diagnostic filed a match against Tucker. In 1999, a judgment was obtained against Tucker. This unpaid personal debt was on the other hand discharged pursuant to an purchase of the Individual bankruptcy court. Meanwhile, Tucker submitted a tort claim against the child who had shot Water fountain. Tucker incorporated into her claims “substantial sums of money about medical care and equipment. Both parties opted for settle and funds were placed in the estate of Fountain. Taking into consideration this decision, plaintiff filed a state against Fountain’s estate while using Probate The courtroom.
The claim up against the estate was denied since the get-togethers liable for the medical providers rendered into a minor will be his parents. Procedural Record: The Probate court refused the claim against Fountain’s property holding which the parents of Fountain must be held responsible. In view of the denial from the Probate Courtroom, plaintiff appealed to the Outstanding Court. The trial court docket reversed the judgment in the Probate The courtroom and allowed the claim. This held that under Connecticut Law, minors can be organised liable for the payment of their necessaries.
This argued that although the parents of the minimal child are definitely the one who happen to be primarily responsible for the medical bills with their children, beneath Connecticut Law, the child is usually secondarily liable for the payment of the same in case his father and mother fail to spend. Further, the trial court docket ruled the fact that child’s property had previously received substantive sum of money as a settlement for the medical services sustained to reject the plaintiff from recovering the same will constitute unjust enrichment. Issue: whether the medical services company may be able to cure the child if perhaps his father and mother refuse to generate payment or are unable to produce their repayment.
Holding. Certainly. The medical services service provider may accumulate from the child in case the fogeys are unable to pay. Reasoning: It really is well-settled that under common-law rule, legal agreements entered into with a minor child are voidable. This is susceptible to the exception under the doctrine of necessaries which suggest that a minor child may not prevent a contract intended for goods and services which might be necessary for his health and nourishment. The doctrine of necessaries has been established by decisions of the Great Court and by laws properly enacted by law-making bodies.
In the case of Good v. Foote, the the courtroom ruled for the dental professional who desired to file a claim against an orphan’s estate. Generally there the the courtroom held which the term necessaries should not be limited to those expenditures that are necessary to sustain life but likewise those that will be proper and suitable to the child’s condition of life. In addition , it is really worth noting that from 1907 to late 1950s, statutes have continued to acknowledge the règle of necessaries. Further, the court also considered the kid liable beneath the doctrine of quasi-contract.
Beneath this basic principle, when a medical services company extends medical service to children, two agreements are created: a) the primary contract between the medical service provider as well as the parents; b) the second contract involving the medical provider and the child. Thus, if the parents cannot settle all their debts in favour of the medical service provider, they can file a claim against the child. The secondary responsibility of the kid is based on fair consideration which usually protects one party from being unjustly enriched simply by another.
Thus, if the parents cannot spend their bills in favor of the medical service agency justice and equity demands that they data file a claim against the child who has reclaimed substantial amount from the individual that caused him the injury Concurring/Dissenting Views: No concurring or dissenting opinion Disposition: Judgment Established Civil Law and Prevalent Law The truth of Yale Diagnostic Radiology v. Real estate of Harun Fountain et al can be an example of the evolution of your well methodized legal program that we have at this point.
This legal system is an item of a lot of decades of experience, study and research of our lawmakers which have passed our laws for the purpose of regulating the contact of the people of the contemporary society. This case reflects not only the Civil Regulation system which will we have it manifests that individuals adhere to the normal Law program. The City Law is essence that branch of rules that handles the personal and family relations of an person, his real estate and successional rights, and the effect of the obligations and contracts. That governs not only the relationships between members of the family but as well among members of the society.
It has due to the purpose the protection with the interest of the public. However, common law is defined as “that which derives its power and expert from the universal consent and immemorial practice of the people (“Common Lawp. 1) The advantage of the Civil Law is manufactured manifest in cases like this as the court maintained the concept of legal agreements. In this case the court withought a shadow of doubt declared a contract do not need to be created expressly by both parties. The parties will not need to necessarily indication a drafted contract being bound because of it. It is also which two deals may result via a single transaction.
Thus, the court dominated that when the Harun Fountain availed of the medical providers, the parents started to be primarily accountable but as well, the child became secondarily prone to the medical service provider. In such a case, the medical service provider can be protected through the possibility of the parents being released from their responsibility. This case likewise manifests the evolution with the common-law program in our nation. Having been implemented from the British courts, several common-law concepts have been used in our nation. These guidelines include the cortège of necessaries and the cortège of unjust enrichment.
The two of these principles in order to protect the individuals whom the minor might enter into a contract and who may be prejudiced as a result of such contract. They serve as an individual’s last brand of defense in the event that are no particular laws which will govern their transactions using a minor. (George P. Cockroach, 2007, s. 2) The minor is definitely presumed being prejudiced in each and every contractual responsibility. The law takes into account that the kid may not reach the perceptive maturity where he can make a decision what is best for himself in every contractual undertaking.
As a result, legislation gives helpful attention to the welfare in the children by rendering any contract created by a minimal child voidable. This means that after reaching the age of majority he might avoid any contract this individual entered into if he was below the age of vast majority. In this case nevertheless , the common-law extended its protection for the company who have gave medical services to the minor. The doctrine of necessaries provides denies to the child the justification to avoid any contract this individual entered into through the age of vast majority if these kinds of was essential for his nourishment and overall health.
Corollary to the is the principle of unjust enrichment. Under this theory, when resulting from a purchase one get together is gained at the price of one other party as well as the latter is usually prejudiced and injured because of such transaction, justice and equity requirements that the rules must get in the way. In this case, the medical service provider has extended its help and in order to the child, justice and value demands that they be paid for by the kid if his parents don’t have sufficient cash. If the medical service provider will never be paid, in that case an unjust situation will be created.

Formed in 2006, Cling are Susi Lavender and Gerald Patient. I came across them on MySpace at the time, and, have followed their moves ever since. love their enthusiasm and their friendliness. Giving their music away to get the recognition that is now following them around more and more with every passing day.
Since then, they’ve gone from strength to strength. In one form or another, they’ve released over 30 tracks, initially ambient but moving into dubstep of late. Their early tracks were swirling atmospheric slabs of gorgeousness, Gerald’s precise backing with Susi’s angelesque tones creating tracks that were simply something else.
In June 2010, their single Beyond Your Dreams clocked up almost 50,000 views on YouTube – quite remarkable.
Their new tune is a cracker, and like the 2012 mixes of Deeper Meaning and Beyond Your Dreams, it’s a harder, fuller sound this time round. The apocalyptical tale, embeds itself in your head and you really can’t let it go. “Too late for regrets, let’s just accept our fate”. It starts atmospherically and soon launches into a cosmic trap that you can’t help but fall into.
They really do make songs that won’t let go of you – therefore, an apt name for a group.
Give The End a listen and tell me you don’t play it a second time.

How are India’s interests being impacted by turbulent events in the Middle East? How can India protect and promote its interests in a region witnessing its most dramatic re-shaping since the World War? These are critical questions for India’s thinkers to ponder over, and while considerable attention has been given to the tumultuous events themselves, relatively little discussion has occurred on their impact on India.
Mass protests in Tunisia and Egypt saw the overthrow of the Ben Ali and Mubarak presidencies. These were succeeded by a civil war in Libya that resulted in the overthrow of Col. Qaddafi, and public, and sometimes violent, protests in Syria, Algeria, Yemen and Bahrain, and rallies in Lebanon, Jordan, and Oman. In the midst of such dramatic upheaval, a new nation — South Sudan — was born into the “brotherhood” in July 2011. However, it appears that the impetus provided by these protests for transparency and accountability has lost momentum.
In Egypt, the military-security apparatus’ dominance in the political landscape has remained, despite Mr. Mubarak’s departure. Field Marshal Tantawi, a protege of Mr. Mubarak, has responded to continuing protests with force and has banned foreign observers in what could likely be the first free elections in Egypt.
A second phase of turbulence in the Middle East commenced with the revival of Turkey’s confrontation with Israel over its May 2010 raid on the Gaza Freedom Flotilla; Turkey demanded an apology from Israel over what Ankara saw as Israel’s unnecessary and excessive use of force aimed at blocking aid to Gaza. When Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu refused to apologize, Turkey withdrew its ambassador to Israel and racketed up rhetoric against Tel Aviv; acts that earned it praise in Arab newspaper commentary.
Under the leadership of Prime Minister Recep Erdogan and Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu, Turkey has embarked on a transformation from being a Kemelist, status-quo power, to one that seeks a central, leadership role in the Muslim World. It is unsurprising then that Turkey is playing a pivotal role in the evolving political landscape in its neighborhood. While it has delivered stern messages to the al-Assad regime in Syria on its crackdown of civil liberties, it is engaged in discussions with the National Transitional Council in preparing the framework for a post-Qaddafi Libya.
To be sure, many of the subplots of the so-called “Arab Spring” have had a visible impact on India and its citizens. New Delhi has had to mount relief efforts in Egypt and Libya to evacuate its stranded citizens in these countries. Operation Safe Homecoming was India’s largest evacuation effort since the Gulf War and resulted in the repatriation of 18,000 citizens at a cost of Rs. 115 crore ($25 million), per government data.
India must also be concerned about the worsening political situation in the Persian Gulf. Continuing confrontation between the al-Khalifa regime in Bahrain (backed politically and militarily by the GCC) and Shia forces, alleged to have Iran’s support, could arguably impact India more than any other country outside the Peninsula. Indeed, not only does it put India’s substantial energy and economic ties with Gulf states at risk, it also creates a precarious security situation for the approximately 5 million Indian citizens living in the Peninsula. Furthermore, the al-Khalifa regime turned to mercenaries recruited from the Pakistani army to quell the rebellion. Disturbing though a state-sanctioned Pakistan-sourced hit squad rampaging through the streets of Manama might be, the very presence of 300,000 Indian citizens in that country makes this an unacceptable situation for India. It is therefore imperative that India’s policy makers consider all options available for the protection and evacuation of its citizens in Bahrain, should the security situation further deteriorate.
In this context, it is important for India to start considering what role it should play in the Middle East and where its interests lie. In the past, New Delhi has had to walk the tightrope in balancing its ties with countries in the region. Following its “declaration of independence” in 1988, Palestine’s statehood was recognized by India, and reiterated when PLO chairman Mahmoud Abbas officially applied for Palestinian membership to the UN. Since formally establishing relations with Israel in 1992, the Indo-Israeli relationship has grown dramatically, particularly in defence and counter-terrorism. But importantly, India does not see its burgeoning ties with Israel as being incompatible with expanding relationships with Arab countries.
India’s growing ties with Middle Eastern countries are a reflection of its growing stature on the world stage. How India chooses to engage with these and other countries will help define what sort of power India will be. In the past, India avoided criticism of Middle Eastern countries for a myriad of reasons. While this has proven to be a successful strategy, an emerging India will increasingly be challenged on what some might perceive as duplicitous positions.
For example, while Prime Minister Manmohan Singh criticized the West for using force to bring about regime change in his speech at the UN General Assembly, he chose not to draw attention to the brutal suppression of human rights by regimes in the Middle East. While he steadfastly supported the right of the Palestinians to statehood, he refrained from drawing attention to the sub-conventional war imposed on Israel by state and non-state actors. Worse, while India chose to abstain from a UNSC vote condemning Syria’s human rights record, its ambassador, in an interview with CNN-IBN, virtually endorsed the al-Assad regime’s brutality by dismissing reports of the number of Syrians killed during the protests as “exaggerated.”
India has an interest in ensuring not only a stable Middle East, but also one where citizens have a stake in deciding their own future. As India emerges as an important actor on the world stage, it must use its goodwill and growing power to influence its friends in the Middle East, and must work with other countries in promoting shared ideals in the region. In this regard, the India-U.S. “West Asia Dialogue” launched in July 2011 is a welcome sign.
While India and the U.S. no doubt differ on the mechanics through which ideals ought to be achieved, both countries do broadly share the similar values and interests in the region. And if the India story has taught the world anything, it is that pluralistic democracy is indeed sustainable outside the peripheries of the West. India can use the experience it has gained in Afghanistan to build and strengthen democratic institutions in the Middle East. It can also help conduct elections in Egypt, having already done so in South Sudan (indeed, Indian assistance in Egypt’s polls appears to enjoy the support of both the U.S. and political parties in Egypt).
While the Middle East clamours for change, domestic and regional political considerations make some nations reluctant to accept overt assistance from “outside powers” like the West. However, India’s historic ties and the presence of millions of its expatriates in the region make it anything but an “outside power.” India is therefore uniquely suited to play an important role in the transformation of the Middle East. In doing so, India will not only be advancing its own national interests, but also those of the countries in the region.

Mitt Romney has made his pick for his running mate, choosing the youthful, fiscally dominant Republican Paul Ryan of Wisconsin—considered by many to be a longshot choice for the cautious Romney.
Ryan, 42, is more than two decades younger than the 63-year-old Romney and, as Chairman of the House Budget Committee, is a star among the House’s fiscally conservative Tea Party members. The announcement was made this morning in Norfolk, Virginia,
“I did not make a mistake with this guy,” Romney said from the podium.
“I am deeply excited and honored to join you as your running mate,” Ryan said when he got to the podium. Ryan said Republicans would eliminate the country’s “debt, doubt and despair.”
“Regrettably, President Obama has become part of the problem, and Mitt Romney is the solution,” said Ryan, who was first elected to Congress at age 28 and has never really held a job in the private sector.
It is a somewhat surprising pick that sets up a stark ideological battle in November with President Obama, who for the last several years has used Ryan and his extremely conservative budget ideas as his official Republican foil. In the president’s mind, Ryan’s approach to government spending—basically to get rid of it—is the primary example of everything that’s dangerous about the Republican Party.
“This election is about values, and today Romney doubled down on his commitment to take our country back to the failed policies of the past,” Jim Messina, Obama’s campaign manager, said in an email. “Congressman Paul Ryan is best known as the author of a budget so radical The New York Times called it ‘the most extreme budget plan passed by a House of Congress in modern times.’ With Mitt Romney’s support, Ryan would end Medicare as we know it and slash the investments we need to keep our economy growing—all while cutting taxes for those at the very top.”
Some observers predicted Romney might be drawn to the thoughtful, wonkish Ryan—some critics said he and Tim Pawlenty were the only politicians in the country colorless enough to make Romney look charismatic in comparison.
Ryan has been pushing for the last several years, particularly since the Republicans took over the House in the 2010 midterm elections, to move his fiscal vision into the mainstream of the Republican Party. He has done this largely by pushing other Republicans to take a position on his ideas—and also by being one of the few Republicans who has been willing to actually propose policies, rather than just criticizing Obama’s.
Among Ryan’s ideas are to turn Medicare into a program that sends a government check to seniors that they use to buy their own private health insurance, and to substantially cut spending for Medicaid, food stamps and student loans—cutting $5.3 trillion over a decade.
In response to many commentators calling Ryan’s fiscal conservatism “courageous,” the president took Ryan’s budget on in April 2011 during a speech at George Washington University.
“I believe it paints a vision of our future that’s deeply pessimistic. There’s nothing serious about a plan that claims to reduce the deficit by spending a trillion dollars on tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires. And I don’t think there’s anything courageous about asking for sacrifice from those who can least afford it and don’t have any clout on Capitol Hill.”
That theme will undoubtedly be repeated over and over during the next three months.
A profile of Ryan in The New Yorker last week said he was personally responsible for scuttling at least three budget deals between Democrats and Republicans, who Ryan had pushed to the point where any Republican plan having to do with government spending needed to have his approval to move forward. In the profile, Ryan pointed out what he believed Romney should do during this campaign.
“I want a full-throated defense for an alternative agenda that fixes the country’s problems. I want to show the country that we have a solution to get us out of the ditch we’re in, and to be proud about it.”
When the writer, Ryan Lizza, asked Ryan about the possibility that his agenda might damage Romney, Ryan said, “I think life is short. You’d better take advantage of it while you have it.”
But the critics have already started lining up to take their shots.
“Ryan is best known for the extreme budget that bears his name—one that would end Medicare as we know it while giving huge tax breaks to billionaires and corporations,” said a fundraising appeal from the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. “A Romney-Ryan ticket is a frightening prospect for the middle class and anyone who might one day need Medicare or Social Security.”
