Cancer is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality not just here in Florida, or in the United States, but globally. Florida itself is the U.S. state with the second-largest cancer burden, charting at 110,000 cases reported each year. While cancer research has progressed greatly in recent decades, such as treatments such as thyroid and prostate cancer proving to be highly successful, there are still many forms of cancer that remain very problematic, with ineffective treatments and high morbidity and mortality. These include cancers such as liver, lung, brain, esophageal, and ovarian variants. In order to combat this, new approaches and strides must be taken with modern cancer research.
The state of Florida features some of the nation’s top cancer research institutions and hospitals, including the Moffitt Cancer Center, the top-ranked cancer hospital in Florida, and the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center (SCCC). However, while Florida’s cancer research and treatment resources are impressive, the state lacks coordination among these resources to enable novel research that avoids duplication of efforts and promotes efficiency. For example, extensive, well-organized, harmonized, and deeply annotated data is needed for cutting-edge cancer research strategies including Machine Learning and taking advantage of Big Data, the analysis of which through computational strategies rooted in data science and bioinformatics, has spawned many important developments in cancer research.
We propose to establish a cancer research network, the Florida Cancer Research (CARES) Network, across 6 leading Florida-based cancer research institutions, as well as expand the existing Sylvester Data Portal bioinformatics infrastructure that has been developed at the University of Miami and the associated SCCC. This will all culminate into what we’re calling the Florida Platform for Accelerating Collaborative and Computational Cancer Research, or, “PAC3R” (Pronounced PACER”). This first-of-its-kind statewide computational cancer research collaboration network and associated bioinformatics platform will enable Florida cancer researchers to easily access the shared resources, facilitating efficient developments in cancer treatments to reduce morbidity and mortality among Floridians. Additionally, the administrative and computational
infrastructures of the proposed Florida CARES Network and its PAC3R platform could serve as the basis of a nationwide collaborative cancer research network, enabling Florida to become the leader in innovative collaborative computational cancer research.

Vegas: Dice Game
- Designer: Rüdiger Dorn
- Publisher: Ravensburger North America
- Players: 2 – 5 Players
- Time: 30 minutes
- Times played: at least 40 with different versions, four games with 2017 “cubic” edition
Vegas is now a “classic” dice game which originally came out in 2012. Called Las Vegas in the German edition and Vegas in the US version – the game challenges players to make the most money over the four rounds of the game. A new version has been released for mass-market sales by Ravensburger North America. The actual game components are the same, but the game does come in an eye-catching black die shaped box. The game now has a new tagline: “Be Crafty. Take Chances. Win it All.”
As the actual game part is unchanged, I thought I’d recycle Greg Schloesser’s review from five years ago. One, he does a wonderful job of describing the game. Second, it’s always interesting to go back and read what our reviewers thought of a game in its initial review, and how those opinions have changed over time… So, without further ado – here is Greg’s review!
– – – –
2012 Review by: Greg J. Schloesser
Dice have been with us since before recorded history. The oldest dice discovered thus far were excavated in Iran and date back a staggering five thousand years. The dice apparently belonged to an ancient Backgammon set, a game that is still immensely popular throughout the world. Dice continue to be used in games of chance to this very day. It seems there is no end to creative uses for this simplest of items.
As a board game enthusiast, I am continually amazed at the creativity of designers. Not only can they devise highly original mechanisms, but they can put unique and creative twists on old mechanisms and find new and exciting ways to utilize familiar components. Designer Rüdiger Dorn has taken fistfuls of dice and created a unique and fun betting game themed around the dice capital of the United States: Las Vegas.
Published by Alea / Ravensburger, Vegas is a light but extremely fun dice rolling game wherein players are attempting to win large payouts from six Las Vegas casinos. It is part of the “small box” Alea line, and includes an abundance of dice in five different colors, six cardboard placards representing the casinos, and a stack of currency cards. The six casino placards, numbered one-to-six, are placed in a row on the table. Currency cards are revealed until each casino has at least $50,000 available. Banknotes range in value from $10,000 to $90,000, so there can be quite a disparity present at the casinos. Players each receive eight dice in their chosen color and the gambling excitement begins!
A player’s turn is quite simple: roll the dice and assign dice to one of the casinos. Once a player rolls the dice, he must choose one number and place ALL of the dice displaying that number on the matching casino. For example, Gail rolls all eight of her dice, resulting in 3, 3, 3, 2, 2, 4, 5 and 6. She opts to take the two “2s” and places them on Caesar’s Palace, which is the #2 casino. She now has six dice remaining for her next turn. Once dice are placed on a casino, they are locked and cannot be re-rolled.
Each player performs the same action, rolling and placing dice, until players have placed all of their dice. At that point, each casino is examined to determine the player or players who have the most dice (number of dice, not the value) present. If any players have the SAME numbers of dice, their dice are removed and they will not receive any banknotes. This “tied players lose” mechanism is deliciously evil! The player with the most dice remaining takes the most valuable banknote present at that casino. Any remaining banknotes are distributed to the remaining players in order of descending number of dice. Currency is distributed from each of the six casinos in this fashion, after which any undistributed currency is discarded in preparation for the next round.
Each of the three rounds is conducted in the same fashion, after which players tally their collection of banknotes to determine the wealthiest player, “King of Vegas” and winner of the game. The game generally takes about 30 – 40 minutes to play to completion.
While there is an abundance of dice rolling, Vegas is not devoid of decisions. With each roll, players must decide which numbers to place onto casinos. Numerous factors influence this decision, among them:
* The amount of money available at the respective casinos
* Opponents’ dice placements
* Number of dice players will have remaining
Sometimes a player will roll an abundance of a particular number, but placing them all would leave the player with few or no dice for remaining rounds, which is usually an undesirable predicament. Alternatively, the player may not want to compete at the casino where he would be forced to place these dice. So, it is often a wiser move to select a number that appears on fewer dice in order to compete at a more desirable casino and/or preserve dice for future rounds. Of course, this is a dice game, so luck is prevalent, if not dominant. Often a player is forced to place dice at casinos where he does not wish to compete or does not even have a chance of capturing cash. It can also be frustrating – albeit in a fun sort of way – to be forced to place dice on a casino that forces a tie, thereby denying the player any payout from that casino! No one ever claimed that dice are fair!
As I mentioned near the opening of this review, Vegas is light, yet extremely fun. There is excitement over competing for the most valuable banknotes, and devious fun in trying to best your opponents and leave them penniless. As with many dice games, you often vocally hope to roll a certain number, cheering when you succeed and moaning when you fail. There can also a considerable amount of posturing and blustering – all in good fun, of course – hoping to warn opponents away from certain casinos, or cajole them into placing dice at particular establishments. While much of one’s fate is determined by lady luck, there are enough decisions to elevate the game beyond a mere casting of lots. While the real Las Vegas holds little or no attraction for me, I find the seductions of this Vegas quite irresistible!
Thoughts of Other Opinionated Gamers (from 2012):
Ted C.: Greg is pretty much on target here. Very light filler. If played quickly, it can be a nice diversion. If not, it can be painful.
Joe Huber (played once): I think Greg’s last sentence gets to the heart of what prevents Vegas from being a winner for me. For various reasons, I am strongly biased against institutionalized gambling; as a result, Las Vegas is not a place I care to be, if I can avoid it. And the choice of the Las Vegas theme causes what would be an acceptable game for me – though I didn’t find it nearly as enjoyable for the mechanisms as Greg did – to be one that I don’t much care for. Yes, it’s an abstract game, and the theme is just tacked on – but that doesn’t mean that the theme isn’t theme, or that you aren’t spending the game looking at pictures of casinos. I don’t find it offensive, in any way – just distracting, leaving my opinion on the low end of neutral.
Dan Blum: I agree with Greg in general, although I am not as enthusiastic about it as he is. While it works with five players, I think it’s better with fewer, as not only is there less downtime, but you can use the neutral dice variant in the rules, which makes things more interesting.
Nathan Beeler: Dice hate me. Which is ok, because the feeling is mutual. It usually takes an extraordinary design to overcome my immediate reaction to a game using dice as a part of its central mechanism. Either that, or the game has to be correspondingly lightweight enough that I don’t care that my decisions are dependent upon the outcome of dice rolls. Vegas is certainly lightweight, as others have pointed out, which brings it back into the realm of games I could like. All that is to say, dice and a lack of control aren’t the reason I didn’t care for this dice game. And I love Las Vegas the city, so that wasn’t a factor. The game play just didn’t grab my imagination in any way. Things just sort of happened. People rolled dice and either got the dice that gave them an obvious decision or they had to do something they didn’t want to do. Very often people chose to play a single die to a number they had no hope of winning in order to preserve their other dice for a chance to roll what they really wanted next time. But even that was fairly obvious and not exciting. The game for me lacked any drama: roll the dice and check to see if you got something good. It had none of the big reveal of a game like Liar’s Dice or the sweat inducing press your luck anxiety of something like Can’t Stop. The game played, and then it ended and then we played a better one.
Dale Yu: I like it as a light filler – there are a few decisions to be made each turn, and the last roll of your turn can be a bit stressful as sometimes you hope not to roll a certain number as you have to place ALL of a particular number. It’s a good introductory game for non-gamers or a filler at a game night. I have only played it twice, once with 4p and once with 5p, and it worked just fine. It was just right at 20-30 minutes, anything longer and I’d probably not like Vegas as much.
Ted Alspach: I’ve played this several times, and have determined that it’s only fun with the “neutral dice” variant (mentioned by Dan Blum above). In that variant, the unused dice (this only works with 4 players unless you have 10 extra unique-colored dice lying around) are rolled with the player’s dice, and he includes those when he places them. It allows players to cause a tie without putting a target on their own back; for that reason I found Vegas really interesting and a keeper. Had this been part of the “standard” rules, maybe Vegas would have taken the SDJ crown away from Kingdom Builder…
Craig Massey: This should have been the SdJ winner over Kingdom Builder and I say that as a fan of the latter. It plays quickly and is extremely accessible for the general family. Add the neutral dice variant and you have something more for the hardened game player. While it does not set the world on fire with new innovative mechanics, I don’t think the game ever intended to do that.
Ratings (from 2012):

OK, so what’s different in the new version? As far as I can tell, only cosmetic changes. First, the box is different. The new version comes in a 5.25 inch cube which will totally stack nicely with all your other games of this particular size/shape in your game collection. OK, I’m saying this somewhat in jest. It sure looks nice, and will likely attract the eye of Joe American shopping in Target – but this really riles up my OCD-ness because I like my games neatly stacked by matching box size on the shelves.
Within the box, you’ll find a plastic form which lies over the components to help keep the box shape and to keep the components from moving around. As with the other forms of the game, the actual volume of components is small. All of the bits fit within a 5” high by 1.5” wide slot in the box insert. But – the sharp looking cube will definitely catch the eye as you walk by the shelves.
The other noticeable change is the casino tables. Unlike the previous versions of the game which depicted casinos (whether real or imaginary) on the six cardboard cutouts, the current version has simple solid colored tables for the dice to rest upon. The money is still the same, with the multicolored George Washington faces looking at you on all the bills.
But, other than the form factor, it’s the same old game that many of you will be very familiar with.
So how has the game held up over time?
I was fairly favorable in 2012 with this game, and Vegas has since made its way onto my all-time favorite list of games. It’s one of the games that I keep around at home, in my travel kit and at the lake house because it’s so accessible to gamers of all levels of experience, and it’s a ton of fun. With casual gamers, I’m more than happy to play with the basic rules, though I do prefer the neutral dice variant with seasoned gamers. For what it’s worth, the neutral die variant is actually included in the rules of this version – even if it targeted for the American mass market. As Craig noted well five years ago, this seems like it would have been a more suitable SdJ winner. It certainly has received the most play of the three nominees (Kingdom Builder and Eselsbrücke are the other two) and has an all-time reserved spot in my game collection.
Thoughts from Other Opinionated Gamers (in 2017)
Alan How: Still an excellent filler or end of evening game for me. I play with the expansion rules with gamers.
Dan Blum: I haven’t played it much recently but I would if asked and I wouldn’t mind keeping it around as a light option if not for the price, which was always kind of high. This version will presumably be cheaper but I really hate that box, so I will probably continue to not own it and play it very rarely.

Resource:How to convince other student orgs to establish their home in your campus makerspace-article
A makerspace is a place where students can gather to create, invent, tinker, explore and discover using a variety of tools and materials.
Makerspaces are not about the tools; they’re about enabling making.
A makerspace can be anything from a repurposed bookcart filled with arts and crafts supplies to a table in a corner set out with LEGOs to a full blown fab lab with 3D printers, laser cutters, and handtools. No two school makerspaces are exactly alike, nor should they be. Makerspaces are as unique as the school cultures they represent. There is no such thing as one form of making being more valid or better than the other. Makers are artists, crafters, knitters, seamstresses, builders, programmers, engineers, hackers, painters, woodworkers, tinkerers, inventors, bakers , graphic designers and more
What do you do in a makerspace?
The simple answer is you make things. Things that you are curious about. Things that spring from your imagination. Things that inspire you and things that you admire. The informal, playful atmosphere allows learning to unfold, rather than conform to a rigid agenda. Making, rather than consuming is the focus. It is craft, engineering, technology and wonder-driven.
For me, it’s a buzzing hub of activity. It’s a space where kids come to:
· We still love books and reading is the most important literacy. Every library needs a space for readers.
· We have research classes all the time. Our goal for next year is to integrate more making into core classes and to help different core subjects teach with the
“Invent to Learn” method of hands-on learning.
· This type of space focuses on a method that understands kids don’t always realize they want to make stuff. Instead, the space is designed for “hanging out, messing around, and geeking out.” Students walk in to renew a book and notice new 3D printer and ask how it works and how they can use it. Then they come back to learn about 3D Modeling. This is one of the beautiful aspects of the library makerspace. It entices students to come back to the library. Plus, it gives EVERY student a reason to come to the library.
Study or Complete Assignments
· library is still a place where students come to study. About 20% of the students come in are here just to study! They love to spread out in our classroom areas and work collaboratively or even tutor one another. Another 30% of our drop-in students come to use computers and complete assignments.
· 71% of our scheduled hours are designated to research. I’m happy to collaborate with English teachers and teach our students how to use our databases and research with books. While more and more students use databases, some of our students still prefer using books.
The best plave for a makerplace is a library where u find ample resources as well as materials. The space really matters. Note that I said the space matters, not a space filled with laser cutters, 3-D printers and the latest, and greatest equipment. Those tools are wonderful when students have the skills and confidence to appreciate them. But the magic can start with PVC pipe, glue guns, string, soda bottles, soldering irons, and other household supplies. The most important quality of a makerspace is that it encourages creativity. This can be done with a space full of hand tools, materials, and finished projects. The culture in a space should support the idea that anything is possible.
= IMPORTANT QUALITY = The most important quality of a makerspace is that it encourages creativity. This can be done with a space full of hand tools, materials, and finished projects. The culture in a space should support the idea that anything is possible.
The main goal of my library makerspace is to support and promote literacy. Those literacies include traditional literacies like reading, writing, and research. But also include supporting students in digital literacy, coding literacy, and invention literacy.
The 9 main goals of successful makerspaces are:
- Use a wide range of idea creation techniques – such as brainstorming
- Create new and worthwhile ideas – both incremental and radical concepts
- Elaborate, refine, analyze and evaluate their own ideas in order to improve and maximize creative efforts
- Develop, implement, and communicate new ideas to others effectively
- Be open and responsive to new and diverse perspectives; incorporate group input and feedback into the work
- Demonstrate originality and inventiveness in work and understand the real-world limits to adopting new ideas
- View failure as an opportunity to learn; understand that creativity and innovation are a long-term, cyclical process of small successes and frequent mistakes
- Implement innovations
- Act on creative ideas to make a tangible and useful contribution to the field in which the innovation will occur

Makerspaces provide hands-on, creative ways to encourage students to design, experiment, build and invent as they deeply engage in science, engineering and tinkering. Makerspaces are collaborative learning environments where people come together to share materials and learn new skills… makerspaces are not necessarily born out of a specific set of materials or spaces, but rather a mindset of community partnership, collaboration, and creation. It is a space where kids have the opportunity to make – a place where some tools, materials, and enough expertise can get them started. These places, called makerspaces, share some aspects of the shop class, home economics class, the art studio and science labs. In effect, a makerspace is a physical mash-up of different places that allows makers and projects to integrate these different kinds of skills

A Hybrid Tax on Income and Wealth
Daniel Altman is Big Think's Chief Economist and an adjunct faculty member at New York University's Stern School of Business. Daniel wrote economic commentary for The Economist, The New York Times, and The International Herald Tribune before founding North Yard Economics, a non-profit consulting firm serving developing countries, in 2008. In between, he served as an economic advisor in the British government and wrote four books, most recently Outrageous Fortunes: The Twelve Surprising Trends That Will Reshape the Global Economy.
It’s been a few months since I wrote an op-ed in The New York Times to propose a wealth tax as a way to stem the harmful rise of inequality in the United States. Because of that article and a follow-up posted on this blog, I received a multitude of other, sometimes related tax proposals from people all over the country. Only one was simple and ingenious enough to be worth sharing here.
Last week, I received a series of tweets from Josh Oppenheimer, a medical student who apparently dabbles in public policy. Here they are:
@altmandaniel Variation on your wealth tax proposal: Keep taxing income, but base income tax brackets on wealth level not income
@altmandaniel 1) Places tax burden on those who can truly afford to pay their fare share.
@altmandaniel 2) Helps young workers pay off student loans, pay for childcare, and save for a rainy day fund, mortgage, and kids’ education.
@altmandaniel 3) Better to cut the tax break on high earners’ first dollar earned than on their charitable giving, as a deduction cap would.
@altmandaniel 4) Addresses the core issue of wealth inequality, just as a wealth tax would, but without requiring a constitutional change.
@altmandaniel Looking forward to your thoughts. Also avoids the wealth tax's illiquidity trap for the family farmer/small business owner.
So, the idea is that only the wealthy would pay the tax, but they would pay it as a percentage of their income. Since most Americans have very little wealth, the income tax rates under this regime would probably have to be quite a bit higher than they are now, if the goal is to collect the same amount of revenue.
As in my version of the wealth tax, Josh’s version reduces the tax burden for young people who may have high incomes but are yet to accumulate wealth – and in fact may be in debt. Unlike mine, Josh’s version also ensures that people with no income are not forced to liquidate their wealth in order to pay taxes. I consider that a useful improvement.
The problem with Josh’s proposal is with marginal tax rates. In short, having simple brackets determined by wealth would create some very high ones. For example, imagine if people with up to $2 million in wealth paid a 20% income tax, but above $2 million the rate rose to 25%. For most people with wealth under $2 million, the marginal tax rate on their next dollar of income would be 20%. But if that extra dollar of income would add the $2,000,001th dollar to their wealth, it would cost them an extra 5% of all their income – something they’d probably try hard to avoid. The same thing would happen if one of their assets happened to increase in value by $1.
Average tax rates would also look a little odd. For people in the first bracket above, the average tax on income would always be 20%. But the average tax on wealth would actually drop at higher levels of wealth, holding income constant; it would be 4% on people with $1,000,000 in wealth and $200,000 in income, but 2% on people with $2,000,000 in wealth and $200,000 in income.
To deal with these problems, I’d suggest a sliding scale. Let’s say that we wanted tax rates to max out for people with $10 million in wealth, which covers almost everyone. We could set a top income tax of 50% for people at the top, and reduce the tax proportionally as wealth went down to zero. So people with $5 million in wealth would pay 25% of income, people with $4 million in wealth would pay 20% of income, and so on.
Using this sliding scale, the marginal tax rate on wealth is always the same for any given level of income; it only rises when income rises. Similarly, the marginal tax rate on income is constant for any level of wealth; it only rises when wealth rises, as Josh intended. At first glance, I think this variation on our ideas is the most economically attractive.
Would this kind of tax require a Constitutional amendment, as the income tax did? Josh Barro of Bloomberg thinks that even though the tax is technically on income, basing the brackets on wealth makes it a wealth tax. But we also base brackets on marriage, and we don’t have a marriage tax that goes by that name. I’m not a legal expert, but I hope to see a few more good ideas for reducing inequality in wealth – and hopefully some comments on the sliding scale plan.
Both schizophrenics and people with a common personality type share similar brain patterns.
- A new study shows that people with a common personality type share brain activity with patients diagnosed with schizophrenia.
- The study gives insight into how the brain activity associated with mental illnesses relates to brain activity in healthy individuals.
- This finding not only improves our understanding of how the brain works but may one day be applied to treatments.
It's a development that could one day lead to much better treatments for osteoporosis, joint damage, and bone fractures.
- Scientists have isolated skeletal stem cells in adult and fetal bones for the first time.
- These cells could one day help treat damaged bone and cartilage.
- The team was able to grow skeletal stem cells from cells found within liposuctioned fat.
Gut bacteria play an important role in how you feel and think and how well your body fights off disease. New research shows that exercise can give your gut bacteria a boost.
- Two studies from the University of Illinois show that gut bacteria can be changed by exercise alone.
- Our understanding of how gut bacteria impacts our overall health is an emerging field, and this research sheds light on the many different ways exercise affects your body.
- Exercising to improve your gut bacteria will prevent diseases and encourage brain health.

Ron Lieber, New York Times money Columnist, has written a wonderful book called "The Opposite of Spoiled". Speaking as a "thrifty person" (he discusses it and I embrace the epithet!), this book is well worth the money!
It is a big topic and like sex and drugs, one that is very difficult to discuss as an adult and as a parent. I know the default is to ignore these difficult topics - life is so busy. If you do that, you may get lucky and your kid may bumble their way to a safe and thoughtful adulthood, but that is not good parenting. The difficult (and most important) part about this job is being proactive and honest and guiding the conversation as your child develops. It is on you. Let's face it, if you have to tackle one of the three, start with money. It is not easy, but it can be the one that comes up first.
I read a lot of advice books that should have been pamphlets - chatty bullet points. I always feel a little dirty when I am done - too many trees killed. This book is NOT like that. It is a thoughtful and interesting essay on the many ways we have grown twisted or triumphed over, our thinking about love, fear, generosity, envy, self image and parenting. But it isn't only that. It is also very clear eyed strategies about saving, giving and spending. It is very pragmatic. There is no one right way to address this, and lays out the often very ingenious ways that many families work it out. The only thing that you absolutely can't do, is stick your head in the sand.
I hope that this book will continue the conversation about the creative and common sense ways that families deal with the strategies around money and parenting.
Here is one of my stories:
I heard many complaints from my old parent friends about how they were frustrated in being treated as a literal money machines by their college freshmen. We never got those calls. Before our kids left for school we sat down at the kitchen table and laid out very clearly what we would cover and what they would cover. Ours: tuition, room and board and travel home. Theirs: books, supplies, laundry, discretionary travel, fancy coffee, pizza, beer, everything else. They had some saved money from grad presents and we gave them a small amount of seed money (because the books are crazy expensive). They had work study jobs and summer jobs to replenish their funds. We told them that they could keep their seed money if they didn't spend it on the many necessities. It was on them.
What happened: As first semester freshmen, they did a little online research and both spent a fraction of the money their fellow students spent on books alone. One child actually acquired all her many hundreds of $ worth of textbooks for 0$. She gleefully recounted how she walked past the long line at the bookstore and went to the empty library, where she checked out all current copies of the text books, and renewed them for the full semester for free. She then went to Craig's list and Kmart and decorated her freshman dorm room to her heart's content. As germphobs we knew that they would spend their own money to do their laundry (some parents of less fastidious kids may worry about them using their own money for that). You know your own children and what will motivate them and what won't. My husband and I chalk our kids' level headed attitude up to a little bit of luck and lots of talk and examples of value, thrift and hard work everyday. We bring our own crazy to the table of course, but the honesty about our own struggles is an example to them as their insight is an example to us.
Do you want a copy of this book?
Send me an email with "the opposite of spoiled" in the subject. Include your mailing address and I will pick names from the hat on March 1. Good luck!

Day School Play and Train
If you just can't let your dog go to a trainer for weeks, and want him home at night and on the weekends, this is for you! This is NOT a Doggie Day Care. This is the VIP one-on-one accelerated training without overnights! It works the same way as the VIP boarding school, but you will bring your dog here during the week for the full immersion training. Then once a week we will be teaching you how to work on what your dog learned during the week. Your dog will not be home alone while you are at work, will not pickup bad habits from other dogs in daycare. Instead, he or she will get a jump start in training and fitness while you are at work!
You dog will:
- walk politely on leash
- politely greet people
- come when called
- know how to sit
- know how to down
- go to his place and stay there
Choose from Obedience or Fitness, or pick both!
This is also a great option for puppies as well as for dogs who completed basic training and are ready for the next level of Advanced Obedience or Sport Training. Of course we will discuss the curriculum and duration based on your goals!

The 8 Benefits Of Air Purifiers
Air pollution levels are rising worldwide, and it is a major concern for many people. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), outdoor air can be five times as polluted as indoor air. Since outdoor air is circulated more than indoor air, many airborne pollutants continue to thrive outside.
(Why air purifier is needed) Air purifiers can refresh stale air, reducing the chances of health issues caused by outdoor pollutants, which can trigger respiratory infections, neurological problems, or aggravate symptoms in asthma sufferers. Quality air purifiers eliminate several types of outdoor pollutants, keeping us healthy.
Air purifiers work by filtering the air that goes through them using a HEPA filter or other type of filtration technology. HEPA stands for “high efficiency particulate arrestance,” which means that it is able to trap up to 99.97% of fine particles like dust, pollen and pet dander from entering your home. Some units also use activated carbon filters to remove odors from your home too!
Benefits of an Air Purifier
Air purifiers with HEPA technology filters can remove 99.7 percent of the airborne particulate matter (PM) circulating in your home environment. Removing these pollutants can lead to several immediate and long term health benefits such as better sleep quality and increased life expectancy. In addition, this type of filtering system can significantly reduce irritating asthma triggers like pet dander, mold spores, pollen, dust mites and other contaminants that are known to cause allergic reactions.
Relieves Symptoms of Asthma
Asthma is a chronic respiratory disease that inflames and narrows the airways. It can cause wheezing, coughing, chest tightness and shortness of breath.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1 in 12 people have asthma. People living with asthma have inflamed bronchial tubes. Pollutants such as pet dander, pollen, or dust mites irritate their airways, causing difficulty breathing.
Eliminates Harmful Chemicals from Indoor Environments
Even if you don’t live in large cities with high vehicular traffic, your home atmosphere could still be polluted with toxins from several cleaning agents. Many regular household cleaners contain toxic chemicals such as ammonia, chlorine, and phthalates. Exposure to these chemicals in small quantities may be harmless, but routine exposure can lead to serious health issues like a tumor, cancer, cardiovascular, or neurological disorders.
The air inside our homes is 10 times more polluted than the air outside our homes. This happens because our bodies cannot filter out all the pollutants that enter the house through doors and windows or from other sources such as construction sites and factories. The only way to ensure that we breathe clean air is by using an air purifier at home.
Reduces the Chances of Airborne Diseases
Airborne diseases such as the common cold and flu are spread through tiny pathogens floating around. When one family member catches the flu, it’s not uncommon for the rest of the family to get sick as well. This happens because everyone is breathing the same air that’s infected with bacteria and viruses.
Air purifiers with HEPA filters capture these bacteria and viruses. When you remove the cause of airborne diseases, you safeguard yourself and your family from them. If you live with elderly people, children, or anyone with a weakened immune system, air purifiers are a must.
The best part about using an air purifier is that they can help protect your home from dust mites, pollen and pet dander — all of which can trigger allergies in some people and worsen existing conditions in others.
Indoor allergens such as bacteria, fungi, and dust mites can trigger allergies or hay fever. Hay fever causes a runny nose and can last up to several weeks. Frequent sneezing, coughing, nose congestion, watery eyes, or sore throat are some common allergic symptoms, disrupting your sleep.
Lack of adequate sleep causes daytime drowsiness, affecting your productivity the next morning. To avoid these sleep disruptions, it’s best to use HEPA air purifiers because they filter out most allergens from your room. Cleaner air gives you a better night’s sleep.
Removes Harmful Radon
The breakdown of naturally-occurring radioactive elements such as uranium found in certain building materials produces radon gas. Radon is a colorless and odorless gas, emitting from building materials like rocks, soil, and granite. Radon gas is considered a carcinogen that may cause lung cancer after prolonged exposure to high levels of radon in the home environment (EPA).


The Eagle has been grounded
Seven days before the opening ceremony and George Fitch already detects something missing from the 2010 Vancouver Olympics.
The last time the world’s grandest sporting event touched down on Canadian soil -- at Calgary in 1988 -- Fitch assembled the Jamaican bobsled team, a hobbin’, bobbin’, T-shirt-sellin’ crew that became an overnight sensation and, in time, a Disney movie.
“People really liked us,” Fitch said. “They saw this was good, this was what the Games were all about.”
But maybe Calgary went a little too far in terms of Olympic oddity.
The Jamaicans were joined by characters such as “Eddie the Eagle” -- the klutzy British ski jumper -- and a Mexican cross-country racer who fell so far behind that worried officials gathered a search party.
Suffice to say, the International Olympic Committee was not amused.
Eager to protect the integrity of their brand, members enacted stricter qualifying standards. As IOC President Jacques Rogge recently explained: “The eagles don’t fly anymore.”
Competition is certainly tougher now, at least at the bottom end of the draw, but Fitch and others are left to wonder:
Have the Games lost some of their charm?
Vancouver will have its share of unusual or otherwise inspiring stories.
A black slalom racer from Ghana nicknamed the “Snow Leopard.” A Canadian cross-country skier who is legally blind. A 48-year-old Argentine in the youth-mad freestyle competition.
All have qualified under the so-called “Eddie the Eagle” rule. Simply making the national team is no longer enough -- they spent years proving themselves on the international circuit.
This significantly lessens the potential for desperate underdogs amid the sporting elite, what author David Wallechinsky calls the “everyman aspect.”
“People think, oh, here’s somebody I can really relate to,” said Wallechinsky, who co-wrote “The Complete Book of the Winter Olympics.” “Here’s somebody like me.”
The romantic notion traces back to Baron Pierre de Coubertin, father of the modern Olympics. He emphasized participation -- though not for women -- which occasionally left the door open for unqualified competitors.
It’s just that no one paid much attention to the hopeless and hapless until Calgary.
“I don’t think Eddie or the Jamaicans were part of anybody’s master plan,” said John Hoberman, a University of Texas professor who has written extensively about sport. “These things happen by accident.”
From the start, fans took to Michael Edwards -- aka “Eddie the Eagle” -- a cartoonish figure in Coke-bottle glasses hurtling through the air like Mr. Magoo with planks strapped to his feet.
Edwards regaled the media with tales of second-hand equipment and renting a cheap room in a mental hospital while training in Finland, all of it delivered in a thick, working-class British accent.
So why did officials get so upset?
Amid concerns for his safety were grumbles of another sort, resentment that a last-place finisher had upstaged the medal winners, receiving front-page coverage and flying to Los Angeles for a guest shot with Johnny Carson.
“I didn’t realize that I was going to become Eddie the Eagle and that I was going to become as big as I got in Calgary,” Edwards recently told the Canadian Press.
A similar tale unfolded at the sliding venue.
An American businessman with strong ties to Jamaica, Fitch had rounded up a handful of athletic soldiers and a helicopter pilot to serve as driver. He bought a sled, hired a coach and rushed them through scant months of training.
Between runs in Calgary, they hawked T-shirts, pins and a record, “Hobbin’ and A-Bobbin,” to recoup expenses. The public ate it up while -- again -- officials worried about novices flying down the track in a dangerous sport.
“The powers that be were trying to keep us out,” recalled Fitch, now the mayor of Warrenton, Va.
So many years later, he says people forget that his team performed reasonably well in the two-man event before deciding at the last moment to enter the four-man, where driver Dudley Stokes steered too high in a turn and flipped the sled.
“Then Disney makes a movie,” Fitch said, referring to the 1993 film “Cool Runnings.” “The crash is all anyone remembers.”
The Summer Games still allow member nations to enter a limited number of athletes who have not met IOC standards. Who can forget Eric “The Eel” Moussambani, the swimmer from Equatorial Guinea who flailed across the pool?
“The Winter Olympics are another story,” Wallechinsky said. “The equipment is more expensive, the training is more expensive.”
And the events can be more dangerous -- no one risks mortal injury while sprinting, however slowly, in the 100-meter dash.
The IOC recently cited quality of competition in rejecting an attempt to add women’s ski jumping to the program in Vancouver. Rogge said there simply weren’t enough skilled entrants.
“We didn’t want the medals to be watered down,” he explained.
Hoberman suggests that while performance is important, fans can grow bored of watching skier after skier come down the hill with similar, perfected technique. The professor sees value in a few oddballs.
“It’s like the NFL and dancing in the end zone,” he said. “In a certain sense, the grind of competition benefits from episodes of comic relief.”
Ultimately, the IOC must weigh De Coubertin’s spirit of inclusion against an Olympic motto -- Citius, Altius, Fortius -- that calls for ever faster, higher, stronger performances.
From Fitch’s perspective, the balance should tip toward “opening up sports,” he said. “It’s about allowing people to participate.”
And, somewhere amid the competitive grind, having a few laughs.

This article examines the new collaborative environmental governance, an enterprise that involves collaboration between a diversity of private, public, and non-government stakeholders who, acting together towards commonly agreed goals, hope to achieve far more collectively, than individually. Such an approach appears to blur the familiar sharp boundaries that separate 'the state' from civil society, yet we still know very little about exactly what this blurring of public and private adds up to, and what its implications are. This new form of governance is examined through the lens of three Australian case studies. Each of these studies involves participatory dialogue, flexibility, inclusiveness, transparency, institutionalized consensus-building practices, and, at least to some extent, a shift from hierarchy to heterarchy. The paper examines the relationships between new and old governance, the architecture of these new initiatives, the role of the state, and the importance of negotiating in 'the shadow of hierarchy'.


Data collation and presentation for a Histon & Impington Nature Recovery Plan
In the Histon & Impington Neighbourhood Plan, Histon & Impington Parish Council (HIPC) commits to “Project 12” to: Work with residents to identify and catalogue the biodiversity within the community and to identify options, through community actions and influencing development proposals (including the Village Design Guide), to enrich species diversity and population levels.
To deliver this project the Parish Council, in collaboration with others, including Histon and Impington Green Spaces (HIGS), proposes to deliver a Nature Recovery Strategy using the toolkit developed by Natural Cambridgeshire Doubling-Nature_Local-nature-recovery-toolkit.pdf (naturalcambridgeshire.org.uk).
This contract is proposed to help deliver the first stage of this project which is to use existing data to catalogue and map the biodiversity within the community (Stage 1 in the toolkit). A workshop would then bring the community together to define the options for enriching biodiversity and objectives for the Nature Recovery Strategy (Stage 2) in the toolkit.
With regards to the identification and cataloguing of biodiversity in the Parish, a simple approach would be to download data and create maps from Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Environmental Records Centre (CPERC) supplemented by a basic habitat mapping. However, we have good reason to assume there is a lot of biodiversity data held in the village which is not uploaded to this database. It is therefore hoped there can be some additional effort in this exercise to capture this data and provide an enhanced starting point for defining biodiversity priorities and to develop monitoring efforts. This would include:
- Downloading and examining status of HIPC data in CPERC database compared to what we know/suspect exists
- Working with HIGS and other village networks to identify other sources of data and facilitate uploading of this data into the CPERC and/or other database Identify the best platform to use for collation of records and ongoing monitoring (CPERC is what the developers use and so there are advantages in data being in there, but other platforms such as IRecord or BirdTrack provide a much more user friendly option)
- Produce a set of maps and spreadsheets identifying species/habitats from collated data
- Attending a PC meeting or workshop to demonstrate and explain the findings.
The post holder will have an appointed supervisor and have support available from a project team consisting of Parish Councillors and representatives of local environment groups, including for identifying likely sources of data and facilitating contacts and to help validate any disputed data.
This work would best be undertaken by someone living in or within easy access of Histon and Impington. It can be undertaken flexibly and this could be fit alongside other work, studying or caring responsibilities as needed.
Expressions of Interest
If you are interested in this opportunity please contact Councillor Sarah Smith at Histon & Impington Parish Council firstname.lastname@example.org for an informal discussion before 22nd December 2023.

From 1935 - 1997 there were only 11 “Lame Duck” congressional sessions. Once a rarity, they are now commonplace and have occurred in every congress since 1998. As the frequency of these sessions have increased over the last few years, Congress has used lame duck sessions to tackle languishing appropriations bills, beat year-end deadlines, confirm nominations, reauthorize the Defense and Intelligence communities, and, notably, to create the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in 2002.
Last week was no exception to this trend of lame duck sessions proving to be Congress’s busiest work period, and marked a surprisingly active week for cybersecurity legislation.
To be certain, cybersecurity is clearly an area where voluntary industry initiatives and public-private partnerships are—and should be—the driver of effective policy and best practices to meet a constantly changing threat. Congress has ample opportunity to improve the cybersecurity landscape with targeted legislation that addresses critical federal cybersecurity needs, reflects lessons learned from congressional oversight, and complements successful government and private industry innovation taking place in this dynamic space.
Over the course of four days, with the help of the Senate’s hotline process, Congress passed five cybersecurity bills expected to be enacted into law shortly: the Federal Information Security Modernization Act of 2014 (S. 2521), National Cybersecurity Protection Act (S. 2519), Cybersecurity Enhancement Act of 2014 (S. 1353), Cybersecurity Workforce Assessment Act (H.R. 2952), and the Border Patrol Agent Reform Act (S. 1691). Each made notable changes to the federal cybersecurity landscape:
- Federal Information Security Modernization Act (FISMA) of 2014 (S.2521): Updates the federal government's cybersecurity practices by, among other things: 1) codifying DHS authority on government-wide cybersecurity, which is to supervise operational aspects of cyber policies and practices for non-national security information systems in federal civilian agencies; 2) reestablishing the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)'s oversight authority over federal agency information security policies; and 3) establishing requirements for data breach incident reporting to Congress.
- National Cybersecurity Protection Act (S.2519): Codifies the National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center (NCCIC), which DHS established in 2009, and the NCCIC's existing responsibilities. The NCCIC provides cybersecurity threat awareness data across the federal government, and it is the civilian interface with organizations outside the government.
- Cybersecurity Enhancement Act of 2014 (S. 1353): Recognizes and codifies the work by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to coordinate closely with the private sector to identify a voluntary approach to help owners and operators of critical infrastructure to manage cybersecurity risks and prioritizes cybersecurity research and development (R&D) and education and workforce development. It also requires NIST to continue to coordinate with other federal agencies on the National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education (NICE), and directs NIST to continue its cloud computing strategy for federal agencies.
- Cybersecurity Workforce Assessment Act, (H.R. 2952): Requires DHS to internally assess their cybersecurity workforce and establish an agency workforce strategy within 1 year of enactment.
- Border Patrol Agent Pay Reform Act (S. 1691): Addresses DHS cybersecurity workforce recruitment and retention by providing the agency with the authority to more quickly recruit and hire candidates for certain cyber positions, appoint individuals to those positions and fix their compensation, and requires DHS to identify all cyber workforce positions.
The tech sector has long encouraged Congress to undertake actions like these, and we have been working closely with lawmakers throughout the process. Strengthening cybersecurity R&D, education and workforce development, and federal agencies’ cybersecurity activities are essential pieces of the puzzle, and we commend Congress for taking these steps to modernize and update these policies. We look forward to working with lawmakers next year to build upon these actions and tackle additional issues that will bolster our nation’s cybersecurity.

For the past thirty years, UnityPoint Health – Finley Hospital has operated the Wendt Regional Cancer Center, providing high-quality cancer treatment. Whether a patient of Grand River Medical Group, Medical Associates, or another provider group, patients receive the best comprehensive care at the Wendt Center. Mercy’s application for a linear accelerator in Dubuque is based on faulty logic and as a result, threatens the continued existence of a cancer program that ranks in the top 1% nationwide.
Finley’s radiation therapy program, which includes TWO linear accelerators, is a leader in quality, efficiency, and satisfaction. Mercy has filed a certificate of need application to add ONE linear accelerator to the community by establishing a new radiation therapy program
In their application, Mercy projects to treat 457 patients in the first year it operates the proposed linear accelerator. The problem with Mercy’s projection is that in order to execute, Mercy would need to take 100% of all radiation therapy treatments from the Wendt Center, plus, a vast majority of ALL radiation therapy treatments in the surrounding five counties. This is an unrealistic assumption given Mercy would need to convince patients who live closer to higher-volume programs to drive to Dubuque.
Since 2012, Finley has invested over $3.6 million in capital improvements at the Wendt Center. In June 2015, Finley replaced a linear accelerator with a new, state-of-the-art Varian TrueBeam linear accelerator. Making these large investments in technology is challenging in a community our size because the fixed costs must be allocated over a smaller number of patients than in larger population centers like Des Moines or Cedar Rapids.
With our investment in technology, we’ve been able to serve more patients, in less time, with less exposure to radiation. Over the past five years, the number of radiation therapy patients treated at the Wendt Center declined by 12%. In 2016, the Wendt Center provided radiation therapy to 366 patients—significantly less than Mercy’s first-year projection of 457 patients.
Technological advances have significantly reduced the number of treatments each patient receives. Mercy assumes in its application that each patient will receive an average of 30 treatments, but during the first half of 2017, the average Wendt Center patient received only 20 treatments—50% less than Mercy’s assumption.
With declining patient volumes and treatments per patient, the Wendt Center has significant excess capacity to treat all patients in the Dubuque community who require radiation therapy. Approval of Mercy’s proposal would result in dividing the small number of radiation therapy treatments performed in Dubuque between two low-volume programs, threatening the continued existence of the Wendt Center.
I spoke earlier of our patient satisfaction scores ranking in the top 1% nationwide. This is tied to the fact that we’ve implemented a collaborative and patient-focused model of care. Our team works closely with referring providers to ensure that the referral process is as seamless as possible. We provide a nurse navigator who supports each patient and his or her family to help overcome barriers to care and to minimize the stress and disruption of cancer treatment. Our collaborative nature has allowed us to integrate services and expand upon the already seamless patient experience.
No community in Iowa of comparable size has more than one radiation therapy program. If a second radiation program were to exist in Dubuque, it would undermine the continued viability of the Wendt Center. For these reasons, Finley will encourage the State Health Facilities Council to protect the high-quality cancer treatment available at the Wendt Center by rejecting Mercy’s application.

The Foreign Affairs Committee today recommended ratification of the Agreement between the Government of the Russian Federation and the Government of the Syrian Arab Republic on cooperation in the field of military courier and postal service ( 868853-7 ). The question is proposed to be submitted to the State Duma for discussion on February 13.
The agreement was signed in Moscow on July 15, 2019. According to explanatory materials, the document establishes a regulatory legal basis for Russian-Syrian cooperation in order to ensure the protection of military correspondence when delivered by couriers of the Ministry of Defense of Russia to military units of the Russian Federation deployed in the Syrian Arab Republic.
When delivering military correspondence, couriers can carry service weapons (firearms and special equipment). As clarified in the explanatory note, at present, due to the lack of legal status of couriers armed with service weapons, there are objective difficulties in passing customs and border controls when crossing the state borders of Russia and Syria. This creates “prerequisites for possible unauthorized access to classified information.”
Couriers are granted the right to use civilian aircraft, rail, road, sea and river transport.

New Jersey’s own Just Another Band brought the party to Ott’s Township at Sewell, NJ on a warm spring Saturday night in April; what started as a quiet and calm evening at a bar ended with what can best be described as a raging fraternity party with the highest quality live-band entertainment, a dazzling light show, and limitless audience participation. If you know the words, grab a mic and sing along at the top of your lungs. If you don’t know the words but love the beat, grab the tambourine and shake your groove thang!

“It’s a cool thing, a community,” says Steve Earle about San Francisco’s annual Hardly Strictly Bluegrass festival, where he has been a fixture for its ten-year existence. “You never know quite what’s gonna happen until you get here.”
That’s the Texas-raised, New York-based country-rocker’s perspective on SF’s massive three-day festival held in Golden Gate Park as one of its most regular participants.
“He’s my favorite capitalist,” Earle admits.
Last year’s attendance was officially estimated to be 800,000, although that doesn’t include fans who returned multiple times (and, as Earle puts it, “You can never trust the police’s numbers about anything”). This weekend the vibe remained low-key and loving, as indie fans mixed with hippies, kids, and dogs. The bands were highly eclectic, as well: Faith No More vocalist Mike Patton appeared with his orchestral Italian pop cover band Mondo Cane on Sunday evening, while Sharon Jones sang with her funk-soul band, the Dap-Kings, on a nearby stage. The proximity of so much free music made for unexpected moments of pleasure: Bluegrass group Blue Highway sang an achingly beautiful a cappella ballad that could be heard by fans en route to see Jenny Lewis and Jonathan Rice, the Rilo Kiley frontwoman and her singer-songwriter paramour, who emphasized the engaging harmonies in their cranked-up garage-rock. Their Friday afternoon set featured a surprise appearance by a typically natty Elvis Costello, who did a duet with Lewis on “Carpetbaggers,” before returning Sunday night with his Americana-styled Sugarcanes.
Jenny and Johnny’ were followed by T Bone Burnett and Punch Brothers, a bluegrass quintet featuring a particularly lively and virtuosic mandolin player, Chris Thile. Burnett, clad in a suit, recited the Dada-esque lyrics of “Zombieland” from behind shades as the Brothers (actually unrelated ) played, then introduced the Secret Sisters, a Carter Family-esque — and very much related — Alabama duo.
At the same time Friday evening, Donald Fagen, Michael McDonald, and Boz Scaggs filled a much larger stage with their Dukes of September Rhythm Revue. The band brought impeccable chops: When they launched into Scaggs’ disco-pop classic “Lowdown,” the groove was as close to the original’s lush mid-Seventies sound as could have been possible in a live outdoor setting. This particular combination of talents meant that one could hear McDonald’s distinctive background vocals on the Fagen-fronted “Peg,” just like on the 1977 Steely Dan recording. Even better was “Something in the Air,” the 1969 countercultural anthem by Thunderclap Newman that still, today, sounds like the greatest John Lennon never wrote. The band gave the track a full-on Sgt. Pepper-style arrangement, complete with ragtime piano break and climactic horns, as the three front men split vocal duties. It was completely unanticipated and yet so right for Golden Gate Park, the nexus of so much San Francisco peace and love.
Saturday’s entertainment was decidedly more somber. Folk legend Joan Baez sang solo for several songs that afternoon, then gradually built up her arrangements. Of course, the best-received songs were by or about Baez’s early Sixties lover Bob Dylan — her 1975 hit “Diamonds & Rust,” as well as covers of Dylan’s “It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue” and “Don’t Think Twice, It’s Alright,” which brought her set to a close with a spot-on impersonation of Dylan’s voice. Conor Oberst maintained the Dylan vibe: Joined by the Felice Brothers, indie-folkies who played their own set Sunday morning, the Bright Eyes leader offered multiple protracted musical climaxes that emphasized his intensity. Even in a free festival, the guy remains admirably passionate.
Passion was the link between Oberst and subsequent Saturday performers Richard Thompson, Bonnie “Prince” Billy, and Steve Earle. Although his affect was cool, English folk-rocker Thompson generated much musical heat on a damp and chilly day; his complex, melodic guitar solos were particularly fiery. Bonnie “Prince” Billy, aka Will Oldham, gave this year’s festival one of its most unconventionally charismatic performances: His achingly sincere Louisville, Kentucky-accented tenor contrasted sharply with his engagingly awkward pirouettes, sweeping hand gestures that showed off painted fingernails, and other thespian quirks that kept the audience guessing. Is he serious/kidding/insane/high, or some constantly shifting, inspired combination?
There were no such theatrics from Earle. “As you probably figured out, we’re more Hardly than Strictly this year,” he quipped halfway through his loose but enjoyable Saturday evening set, his first gig with a rock band in five years. He harmonized with wife Alison Moorer, sang early hits like “Guitar Town,” and spoke to the day’s largest crowd about immigration, sobriety, and other issues that inform his songwriting.
“You think this festival would be complete and total chaos, but I think it draws the best behaved audience I’ve ever come across,” he told Rolling Stone. “It’s a lot of music out there for free, and its endowed to go on for 15 years after Warren Hellman is gone — but he’s not showing any signs of slowing down that I can detect.”

As mentioned in my earlier blog, the government has approved a one time payment for SSD/SSI recipients. Do you receive Social Security or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits? If so, you likely received or will be receiving a special, one-time recovery payment soon. The recovery payment is $250. More than 50 million beneficiaries will receive more than $13 billion in recovery payments in May 2009.
The payment is a direct result of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 passed by Congress and signed by President Obama in February 2009. For more information about the payment, read this article: http://www.nj.com/entertainment/jjournal/index.ssf?/base/entertainment-1/1243319145222631.xml&coll=3
If anyone contacts you asking for your personal information or for a fee to help you get your payment, it’s probably a scam. You may report suspicious activity involving Social Security programs and operations to the Social Security Fraud Hotline website at www.socialsecurity.gov/oig/hotline or call 1-800-269-0271 (TTY 1-866-501-2101).

So tomorrow is really supposed to be South Carolina's day. That Newt Gingrich win seems like ancient history now, doesn't it? Instead, the voting will be in chronic calendar cheating Michigan, and in Arizona, which shares much of the blame for yet another insanely early calendar this cycle. (Florida used Arizona as an excuse to move their date into January, and thus the dominoes fell with us landing yet again on January 3.)
I was going to give Muchigan Democrats just the slightest bit of credit. They had no say over the primary date, as state government is completely in Republican hands. They're even paying lip service to the calenday; the Democratic primary is a beauty contest and delegates will be chosen in May caucuses instead.
But no, the Michigan Democrats had to go and screw up again. This fascinating Slate article, which explains some of the complications of list management and get out the vote in a state without party registration, notes that Michigan Democrats are playing fast and loose with some other rules:
Some Obama supporters will choose to cast a ballot in the other party’s primary, perhaps with the goal of humiliating erstwhile favorite son Mitt Romney—much as Rush Limbaugh did in 2008 when he encouraged his listeners in Ohio to take advantage of open primaries by supporting Hillary Clinton to derail Obama’s march to the nomination, a project Limbaugh called Operation Chaos. Such efforts last week received the blessing of Michigan Democratic Party Chairman Mark Brewer, who sent an email to his party list letting Democrats know they were eligible to participate in the opposition’s nominating contest.Regular readers are well familiar with my periodic rants about the ethics of messing with another party's nomination process. I think it's wrong, but you've got the right to do the wrong thing.
Michigan Democratic chair Mark Brewer -- NOT the guy from Flint's Grand Funk Railroad, that was Mark FARNER and DON Brewer -- asserts: "Any Democrat who takes Senators Jones and Meekhof up on their offer will still be able to participate in the Michigan Democratic Party’s presidential caucuses on May 5, 2012." (The cite is from notorious Iowa hater Markos Moulitas himself; he's encouraging crossovers as "Operation Hilarity.")
Let's look at what the national party rules actually say:
Rule 2.EHmm. Maybe Michigan wouldn't find so much "hilarity" in crossover voting if its entire national convention delegation was challenged... Sure, Carl Levin and Debbie Dingell, we'll seat you. You just have to say "Iowa first forever!" I didn't hear you. Louder! Now say "New Hampshire Rules, Michigan Drools." Then write 50 times on the blackboard: "I will not vote before the first week of March. I will not vote before the first week of March. I will not vote before the first week of March..."
No person shall participate or vote in the nominating process for a Democratic presidential candidate who also participates in the nominating processes of any other party for the corresponding election.

The spirit level : why more equal societies almost always do better
Large inequalities of income in a society have often been regarded as divisive and corrosive, and it is common knowledge that in rich societies the poor have shorter lives and suffer more from almost every social problem. This book demonstrates that more unequal societies are bad for almost everyone within them - the well-off as well as the poor.

Lara World Cup boost for Zimbabwe
Harare: Former West Indies batsman Brian Lara will join the 15-man Zimbabwe cricket squad for preparations ahead of the ICC World Cricket Cup to be held in India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka beginning in February.
Lara, who holds the Test world record score of 400 runs, will be joined by Hampshire`s high scoring all-rounder of seven years standing, Sean Ervine, when they train in Dubaiand also at an India venue from February 1.
Zimbabwe will play two warm-up matches there and two more in India, prompting national coach Alan Butcher of England to state that they will be better or as well prepared for the World Cup as any of their 13 rivals.
Ervine will join his young brother Craig in the squad on a three-year contract, signed over Christmas, but will remain with the England County side as an overseas player.
He has been with Hampshire since soon after the racial and financial dispute between the Zimbabwe Cricket Union and its players in 2002/3 which all but destroyed top level cricket here.
Not selected is Zimbabwe`s best known batsman Hamilton Masakadza, whose form has deteriorated. Masakadza scored a century against West Indies on his Test debut at 18 years old and was player of the year here in 2009.
Commenting on the squad, Alan Butcher said it includes world class spinners in Graeme Cremer, Ray Price (nephew of three-time major golf champion Nick Price) and Gregory Lamb and there was decent depth to the batting.
Even after its 2010 ODI record of six victories (two of these against India and Sri Lanka) and 15 defeats, he expected Zimbabwe to perform well, especially following recent ODI tour experience in Bangladesh, one of their Group venues.
The squad: Elton Chigumbura (capt), Regis Chakabva, Charles Coventry, Graeme Cremer, Craig Ervine, Sean Ervine, Gregory Lamb, Shingirai Masakadza, Chris Mpofu, Ray Price, Edward Rainsford, Tatenda Taibu, Brendan Taylor, Prosper Utseya and Sean Williams. Manager Lovemore Banda.
