Compliance and Ethics
Members of the faculty and staff are permitted to engage in outside employment and consulting under certain conditions. Permissible circumstances relating to outside employment and consulting are contained in IHL and University policies.
Pursuant to IHL Policy 801.08 OUTSIDE EMPLOYMENT, members of the faculty and staff are permitted to engage in outside employment,
provided permission is first obtained from the President and, provided further, that
the President grants permission to engage in outside employment only after having
first determined that such employment will not interfere in any manner with the institutional
duties of the individual requesting such permission. In addition, the policy prohibits
University staff and faculty from engaging in a business or profession that would
in any manner compete with a similar business or profession over which he or she would
have direct supervision, inspection, or purchasing authority within the University
or agency, such being a conflict of interest.
The University Faculty Handbook Policy 3.14 EXTERNAL EMPLOYMENT POLICY references the policy of the Board of Trustees and confirms that academic staff members may engage in employment outside the University after first obtaining the permission of the University President who must ascertain that the employment will not interfere with the University duties of the person requesting permission.
Retrieval No. 1007 of the University’s Employee Handbook also addresses the issue of outside employment. For employees who wish to engage in outside employment, the policy requires employees to notify the Department of Human Resources and request an “Application for Permission to Engage in Outside Employment or Practice of Profession”.
The policy requires the approval of the President and prohibits faculty members from engaging in a business or profession which would result in a conflict of interest as described in the policy. A copy of the completed form is filed and maintained by the Department of Human Resources (see button below).
Outside Consulting by Staff Employees -Retrieval No. 1007 of the University’s Employee Handbook also addresses the issue of outside consulting by staff employees. Pursuant to the policy, staff members who engage in consulting activities and who are paid a fee from an outside agency will be required to file the following form:
*You must be logged in using USM credentials to access the form from the forms page link.
The application must be filed and approved prior to participating in the activity.
All absences from work, during normal working hours, as a result of consulting, will be charged to the 12-month employee’s personal (vacation) leave.
Employees who do not have sufficient accrued personal leave to cover the absence will be required to report as leave-of-absence without pay for the period of time used in consulting.
Staff Employees Teaching Classes-Retrieval No. 1007 of the University’s Employee Handbook also addresses the issue of staff employees teaching classes. The policy provides that staff employees who teach classes during their normal working hours and who receive additional compensation above their normal salary are required to charge such time to personal (vacation) leave. The policy places the responsibility upon the director to ensure the employee complies with this policy. In the event that the employee does not have sufficient accrued leave to cover the teaching time, the employee must report the time taken as leave without pay.

SINGAPORE (ICIS)--Bahrain Petroleum Company (Bapco) is cleared to sell its own brand of Group III base oils alongside those marketed by its Finland-based joint venture (JV) partner Neste.
Neste and Bapco have a joint venture facility in Sitrah, Bahrain, that produces 400,000 tonnes/year of Group III base oils. Under the original JV agreement, Bapco was the sole operator of the plant, while Neste was responsible for sales and marketing of all output from the plant.
On 8 November, Neste said while the original JV agreement remained unchanged, the new commercial terms would allow Bapco to sell some Group III base oils under its own brand from 1 January, 2018. Neste, meanwhile, would continue to sell a “significant share” of base oils output from the plant.
It is unclear what percentage of production would be allocated to Bapco for it to sell under its own brand. Neste holds a 45% share of the plant in Bahrain, while Bapco and Bahrain's Oil & Gas Holding Company (OGHC) own the remaining 55%.
“Neste continues to sell product produced in Porvoo and in the Bahrain JV unit under its Nexbase brand, and Bapco will sell product produced in the Bahrain JV unit under their own brand,” Neste told ICIS, confirming the change in the previous set-up.
The new arrangement means Neste and Bapco would essentially be producing similar products from the same plant but would likely be sold at price differentials that could be as wide as $100/tonne, according to market players.
“Neste will have more edge considering the OEM approval,” said one market source.
Neste’s Group III base oils have already achieved Original Equipment Manufacturers’ (OEM) specifications approvals and as such, carry a premium over the price of base oils from refiners that have not yet secured such approvals.
“The price differential is the key issue here,” said another source in the Middle East.
As a gauge, 4/6 cst Group III base oils produced in northeast (NE) Asia, which have secured OEM approvals are priced between $785-800/tonne FOB (free on board) NE Asia in the week ended 3 November, according to ICIS data.
These prices are the highest levels seen since September 2016, amid an existing spot product scarcity of Group III material of northeast Asian-origin.
Prices for similar grade Middle East-origin Group III base oils which do not have OEM approvals are being offered at around $700-720/tonne FOB (free on board) UAE, according to market sources.
While OEM approvals are important for the automobile lubricant sector, base oils sold for industrial usage generally do not require such approvals.
Some regional markets in Asia are also typically open to purchasing material without OEM approvals.
Bapco had indicated its intent to market its own brand of base oils called “BAPbase” earlier in the year but market participants had questioned how the JV terms with Neste would be affected.
The JV started commercial production at the Bahrain plant in 2011, producing premium quality VHVI (Very High Viscosity Index) Group III base oils for use in blending top-tier lubricants, according to previous company statements.
In the Middle East, other Group III producers include the Abu Dhabi National Oil Co (Adnoc), which produces 500,000 tonnes/year and Shell’s Pearl GTL plant in Qatar, which has the capacity to produce 1.38m tonnes/year of Group III base oils.

On June 11, 2009 Margaret Chan, the Director-General of the WHO, declared the Swine Flu a pandemic. That’s the highest phase – phase 6. It’s the first worldwide flu pandemic in 41 years. ‘Swine flu will be biggest pandemic ever, warns world health chief’. She also said: ‘Based on past experience, this pandemic will be with us for some months, if not years, to come’. Chan’s June 11th declaration is one that comes with great consequences.
The declaration of phase six means that emergency procedures are put into motion which bypass established systems designed to safeguard the public health. The result of this is described in part six of this DeepJournal series on the Swine Flu. Conclusion: the vaccine is being tested while being administered to the public. The definition of what a pandemic is, is therefore of great import.
WHO alters definition of pandemic
In her June 11th declaration Chan said that she had come to her decision to declare a pandemic because ‘on the basis of available evidence, and these expert assessments of the evidence, the scientific criteria for an influenza pandemic have been met’. What she didn’t say was that the WHO had previously adjusted the criteria for a pandemic downward. In May the headline of a small Reuters article read: ‘WHO rethinks criteria for Phase 6 pandemic flu’.
What’s clear is that in 2005 it was still necessary for a new influenza subtype to surface before it could satisfy the criterium for a pandemic. Since May of 2009, it is sufficient for an influenza virus to mutate relative to the original subtype. ‘Under the new meaning, a pandemic does not need to cause high numbers of death or illness’, writes Truthout. ‘A month after changing the definition, with just 144 people dead from H1N1, the flu was given the WHO’s highest threat classification: a “stage-six pandemic alert.” By comparison, the mildest 20th century pandemic killed a million people’.
Epidemiologist Tom Jefferson says on Swedish television: ‘What they [WHO] have done, is that they have taken out the part that referred to simultaneous outbreaks, high morbidity – that is a very high number of severe cases – and mortality. So now, this 2009 definition, could very well fit seasonal influenza. So I don’t understand what the difference is anymore. The new definition lowers the threshold. It makes [it into] a pandemic now and possibly a pandemic going on for some time’. Phase six is still in effect to this day . Jefferson goes on to say: ‘And it obviously favours those who have to sell products’.
The new classification has implications for the future, for ‘according to the new definition, almost any influenza virus that mutates from the original subtype (a process known as “drift”) would qualify as a pandemic strain if it spread readily from human to human’. The meaning of the term ‘pandemic’ has been considerably deflated by the new criterium. It’s a cosmetic change that in practice is making a big difference.
WHO income streams
With an influential organization such as the WHO, independence is crucial. It’s therefore justifiable to examine its sources of income. From an extensive article in the weekly Austrian magazine Profil it’s evident that in 1998, the majority of the WHO’s income came from governments. After the WHO entered into ‘partnerships’ in 2004, most of the money came from ‘voluntary contributions’, some of those of course coming from industry. According to last year’sbudget, those contributions amount to 2.3 billion euros, and that amount is about three times as much as what the countries of the UN contribute. Profil: ‘The vaccine producers were invited – naturally – to all of the discussions on the pandemic’.
Big words, small numbers
‘Every year an average of between 200 to 1000 people die from complications of the flu [in The Netherlands]’, reports the Dutch National Institute for Public Health and the Environment. The institute made it known as early as December 24th of 2009 that the Swine Flu epidemic was over. In The Netherlands, no more than 51 people died from it, of whom most were already sick when they contracted the flu. Worldwide the Swine Flu claimed 14,000 lives,according to the WHO. Journalist William Engdahl writes that that number is probably on the high side: ‘The WHO, it turns out, lumps its statistics for flu deaths together with those from pneumonia, a completely separate and far more common illness and a far larger cause of death, in a disease classification it calls “Influenza and Pneumonia (J09-J18).”’ Epidemiologist Tom Jefferson adds to this the subtle distinction that only ‘approximately 7 percent of influenza-like illness cases are caused by influenza viruses’.
Margaret Chan said recently: ‘The days when health officials could issue advice, based on the very best medical and scientific data, and expect populations to comply, may be fading’.

Bomb threat over "injustice in the world" leads to felony charge
A man with a history of mental illness is accused in a felony charge of threatening to blow up an Oklahoma City business and everyone in the area.
Justus Cobbs, 25, claimed to have C4 explosive in a bag when police approached him June 16 outside an OnCue, according to a court affidavit.
Cobbs "told me he was doing this because he was upset about all the injustice in the world," an officer wrote in the affidavit. Cobbs "said he was also doing this for BLM (BLACK LIVES MATTER) because of everything they were going through."
He was charged Wednesday in Oklahoma County District Court with making a false bomb threat.
District Attorney David Prater made the decision himself on the charge, the latest against those accused of misusing a protest movement to commit crimes. Protests nationwide began after a Black man died May 25 while being pinned to the ground by Minneapolis police officers. George Floyd died after a white officer knelt on his neck for almost nine minutes.
Cobbs pleaded guilty in May to assault for hitting a hospital nurse last year. The guilty plea came after a deal was reached that sent the assault case to Oklahoma County's mental health court.
He was imprisoned in 2015 for unauthorized use of a vehicle. A judge in that case found he was too much of a danger to be released in the community due to his diminished mental capacity. He was discharged from prison in 2018.

“The Spiderwick Chronicles” follows safely in the footsteps of the various modern children’s adventure stories that have been springing up like weeds since the success of J.K. Rowling’s “Harry Potter” series. It’s set in the here and now rather than some distant land or time, contrasting the hidden magical world with the modern, and filled with characters who are as concerned with modern problems (specifically the dissolution and redefinition of family) as they are with the fight between good and evil. At the crossroads of these various trains of thought is Jared (Freddie Highmore, in a dual role as identical twins), the only one of the children unable to cope with their sudden change in circumstances, responding to his inner turmoil by lashing out in anger at everyone and everything.
Highmore is actually quite good in both roles, keenly separating volatile Jared from pacifistic, introverted Simon. Both characters are well individualized, right down to their body language, so that even when Highmore is sharing the screen with himself, its obvious which character he’s playing right from the beginning. And just as satisfying is Sarah Bolger (“In America”) as older sister Mallory who has the mix of older sibling derision, concern, and physical bullying down so well she must have a young brother or sister of her own. In an interesting twist, Mallory a fencing enthusiast is the muscle of the group while Jared and Simon tend to be the problem solvers.
The adult actors though… there’s just something about adult actors in children’s films that compels them to try and out-precious their younger co-stars, and it feels an awful lot like being talked down to. No one ever seems comfortable trying to deliver a real or true performance when they’re dealing with goblins and faeries, but when dealing with such fantasy, and I’ve said this before, reality is exactly what’s needed most.
That’s not entirely fair. Parker actually does quite fine as the beleaguered single mother trying to deal with the stress of ending her marriage, uprooting her life and keeping the family together and functioning. It probably helps that of all the adult actors her motivations are the closest to the real world that she has something solid to hang onto. Everyone else though… Strathairn’s sort of absent-minded professor seems to fit with his character’s circumstances, but Plowright is wasted in a whirl of exposition and Nolte as the human version of arch villain Mulgrath is positively annoying.
But not nearly as annoying as the various CG creatures that inhabit the world. While the effects themselves are quite good (not entirely realistic, but it’s an aesthetic that actually fits with their out-of-this-world nature) the characterization is awful. Waters and his screenwriters (including, according to the credits, John Sayles, though I can’t see where his actual contribution might have been) have made the typical-of-kids-films decision to have them be as cartoony and over the top as possible, with Seth Rogen’s hobgoblin and Martin Short’s bi-polar brownie competing for most headache inducing. I give the edge to Thimbletack, if only because he talks entirely in rhyme. They’re quite shamelessly aimed at the younger audience the film hopes to attract, much like the sidekicks of a Disney cartoon. In fact, exactly like them. There really are times when it feels like if a group of marketers got together to survey children’s fantasy films and create a new one, “The Spiderwick Chronicles” is what they might come up with.
Because, for all the fairies and ogres and design and effects at play in “The Spiderwick Chronicles” there is a depressing lack of imagination involved. Twenty years ago it might have been a contender, but today it’s merely following the modern children’s story playbook, step by step. It’s hard to tell how much of that comes from the filmmakers and how much from the original book, but I suspect it’s a little of both.
It’s also quite dark and violent in places, particularly whenever Mulgrath and his minions show up, more so than might be suitable for the under-eight audience the film is clearly aiming at the rest of the time. It’s this kind of jumbled tone that makes you wonder who the filmmakers are actually making the movie for.
All that said, “The Spiderwick Chronicles” is actually not as bad as it sounds, though what charm it does have rests largely on Highmore’s shoulders. As family friendly fantasy movies go it’s pretty solidly in the middle, its resolve to take no chances whatsoever keeping it from ever being more.

The high blood sugar levels of people can lead to serious health issues. We don’t always realize this until we feel obvious signs and see that we’re probably too late. The demand for high glucose levels leading to diabetes and heart complications for individuals has been growing in recent years, and the constantly changing lifestyle and food requirements may be one of its driving factors.
In normal circumstances, we treat these issues by checking in to a nearby hospital. But, a multitude of problems consequentially come into the foray. This includes skyrocketing energy costs and prescriptions that are often unpalatable, and even surgery. If these things turn you off, perhaps you should give yourself a thorough revamp.
Apart from a change of diet and lifestyle, nutrient-rich dietary supplements play an important role in guiding people at high risk of developing an active, healthy life. One of those supplements happens to be Glucofort.
For those of you who prefer a more visual experience, here is a video review from Fat Burning Guide’s YouTube channel. To get a comprehensive overview of Glucofort, you may still want to check out our article below.
What exactly is Glucofort? Average Cost Of Diabetes Medication Per Month
Glucofort is a supplement to your diet specifically designed to help those who are concerned about their rising blood sugar levels as well as those with pressing health-related problems that require prompt interventions and treatments. It’s a blend of natural ingredients that come from all over the globe, and all incorporated to make a formula that is efficient enough to increase the rate of glucose metabolism within the body, and restore the levels back to their normal state. This helps in preventing, at an early stage, the varying signs of diabetes.
Apart from that, its organically-sourced vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, as well as other important nutrients are also used to ward off the toxic fats that could affect the overall wellbeing of your body. If you consider it, Glucofort does more than just eradicate warning signs that may result in diabetes. It helps in bringing back energy, detoxifies the harmful substances from your body and offers you the incentive to shed some weight! The Glucofort formula is a sure bet the user of a healthy way of life.
Who Created the Supplement?
Glucofort is the revolutionary work of licensed psychologist as Andrew Freeman, along with the help of Doctor. Jun and their team of medical experts. A man with over 20 years of experience in his discipline, Freeman was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes later on in his life. After being prescribed medications to manage the condition, he quickly discovered that taking them together gave him concerning unwanted side effects that further impacted his health standing.
While it may be a bit depressing however, the sequence of events following the diagnosis ultimately inspired Freeman to design an all-natural blood sugar control solution which could give him more positive attributes and less harmful byproducts. Freeman began his quest by researching and scouring for any natural cures that he could locate in the area he was. In the end, his efforts led him to travel the globe. As he traveled to south-central Asia, he encountered local doctors named Jun who Freeman soon discovered had first-hand experiences with the natural medicines available in the area.
They soon joined forces and, after a long period of discussion, studies, and tests, they were able to develop what we recognize today as Glucofort. The product’s natural formulation is already enriched with enough nutrients that regulate the levels of glucose and improve blood health and give energy and vitality back to the person’s life. All this wouldn’t have been achievable with Dr. Jun’s expertise in natural remedies and Freeman’s long-term efforts that were fueled by his diabetes diagnosis, along with their team of like-minded experts who know a thing or two about creating user-friendly dietary supplements.
How Does It How Does It
Glucofort’s primary aim is to address the root of whatever’s stopping the insulin to be naturally secreted throughout the body. It concentrates, specifically, on the ceramides that may hinder and increase growth in a wide variety of essential organs, particularly the pancreas. You are aware of the harm these types of fat cells could cause if not treated. If you’re not familiar Ceramides are lipids with a waxy appearance. substances that oftentimes help in the development of fat layers that bulk up our frame. They are typically found in molecules buried deep in the layers of your body, including the vital organs we’ve mentioned.
With that taken into consideration the possibility of dire consequences if the ceramides were neglected and left to their own devices. These may cause some organs to grow in a significant manner. Ceramides may also create disturbances in the way that the most important organs perform. The pancreas, which is one of those parts, usually serves an important role in regulating the blood sugar level. When ceramides are able to circulate and enter the pancreas in the end, it’s unable to do what it was supposed to do: secrete insulin normally and naturally. This process would, unfortunately, be blocked by the waxy molecules, leading to the high likelihood that diabetes might develop – there is a reason why ceramides are referred to as harmful fats in the first place.

The Glucofort formula and its mixture of plant-based ingredients have been designed to find a feasible way to bypass this situation by targeting the ceramides disrupting the vital organs in the body and eliminating them with the aid of high-quality antioxidants and nutrients. When the pancreas gets slowly removed from these harmful fats, they’re able to increase levels of insulin. The supplement can also increase insulin sensitivity and responsiveness , while reducing the resistance of the body’s inner functions, resulting in improved glucose levels. Additionally, Glucofort does the same with other organs like the pancreas, like the liver and cardiovascular system for instance. The result is that your blood pressure and cholesterol levels to get back into good shape, which makes you feel relaxed and rejuvenated again. Average Cost Of Diabetes Medication Per Month
Each of the listed ingredients of Glucofort’s natural formula plays a key role in boosting blood sugar levels, as well as your overall well-being. What exactly do these ingredients have to do with decreasing the chance of developing diabetes? What kinds of nutrients are included in the mix to boost your bodily functions? Let’s take the time to look into each of them one at a time.
The plant-based components
- Bitter melon. Typically found in certain regions in Asia, Africa, and the Caribbean It has long been proven to provide those who consume this kind of plant a substantial amount of positive effects on blood glucose levels. Its mix of antioxidant and immune-boosting properties which aid in the enhancement of the body’s health is to being loaded with Vitamin C and Vitamin C, which will be discussed in the coming days.
- Guggul resin. The extract is derived directly from the Indian Mukul myrrh tree and has been an important part of natural treatments for health problems in India for a long time. Guggul resin is a source of the chemical guggulsterone that helps to reduce inflammation in beta cells that can interfere with the body’s built-in insulin sensitivity and secretion. It is not just a way to protect the pancreas and its primary tasks, but it also helps in the regulation of cholesterol levels, enhances cognition, and protects your body against harmful pollutants, especially PM 2.5.
- Licorice root extract. It is native to North African, West Asian, and East European territories, the extract of the licorice plant is jam-packed with antioxidants and antigenotoxic qualities that are essential to prevent further damage to Blood cells and DNA. As with a number of listed ingredients, licorice root extract is a powerful source of immunity-boosting characteristics to shield the body from hellish free radicals.
- Cinnamon bark. Usually found in our kitchen cupboards as part of the spice selection, along with chili salt, pepper, and salt as well as in various kinds of foods and drinks that we consume the bark of cinnamon has been found to be a conventional insulin substitute with the primary objective of improving blood glucose tolerance. Additionally, it aids in the reduction of gases within the digestive system as well as the control of appetite and the optimization of cardiovascular conditions.
- Extracts of yarrow. Derived from the yarrow flowers typically found in Asia and Europe and is derived in North American indigenous tribes, this ingredient has been found to help in alleviating the pain and heal wounds fast. It is insulin-regulatory and can only be accomplished through the inclusion of prebiotic properties. The yarrow extract can not only prevent rising signs of diabetes, as it also treats stomach issues and, for women, problems with menstrual cycle.
- Juniper berries. These kinds of berries aid in digestion problems in varying levels. Like the yarrow extracts, their origins can be traced in the Navajo tribe and the nearby indigenous peoples in North America.

I just couldn’t stand to stay home this afternoon. I could hear the Bass calling me, so I went to the lake. I decided to fish only topwater and see what I could find. I found 4 nice bass and missed another one.
First off, I mention a Silver Magic topwater lure in the video. It is Yellow Magic. I am not sure why I insist on calling it the wrong name. The Yellow Magic topwater lure is a quality lure that works very nicely on top of the water. It shoots a nice spray ahead of it when you work it and that stirs up bass.
Most of my bites tonight were very easy. The first fish I caught really attacked the lure, but the others simply sucked it in barely breaking the top of the water. A Gar hit my lure and when I set the hook it cut my line. That’s why I switched from the Yellow Magic lure. I will get another few of them. They are somewhat pricey but they really do work well on top of the water.

Thank you to Roc/ACTS and Baber African Methodist Episcopal Church for hosting a candidate’s Q&A session last evening, and to Tiana Mañón, Editor in Chief of Open Mic Rochester for moderating.
There were a couple of questions asked that I wasn’t able to answer due to time constraints- those questions had to do with marijuana, and solitary confinement.
So, I’ll answer them here.
1) I am the only candidate for the 23rd legislative district that has decriminalizing marijuana as part of my platform. We know the current DA is still prosecuting low level offenses, and as Shani Curry Mitchell, Democratic candidate for District Attorney stated last night, when elected, she would not prosecute those offenses. We also know that for every 10 black people arrested, only 1 white person has been arrested. (https://www.wxxinews.org/post/new-data-rochester-drug-arrests-10-times-higher-black-people).
This is a social justice issue, that must be addressed so we can work to make our society more equitable. When elected, I’ll do the following:
- advocate that the DA doesn’t prosecute for low level offenses
- advocate that the state legalizes
- fight to ensure Monroe County opts into legalization
I also believe that the tax revenue derived from cannabis sales needs to be reinvested into poor communities that have been affected by the criminalization of marijuana.
As an elected representative, I’ll partner with organizations already doing the work, and work with my colleagues in county government to advocate for these issues.
2) The second question had to do with solitary confinement. Solitary confinement has a negative impact (https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/brain-chemistry/201902/the-effects-solitary-confinement-the-brain) especially long-term solitary confinement, and I believe that people deserve to be treated with respect, and dignity. Instead of resorting to what’s been compared to torture, we need to be looking at other restorative options (https://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/11/us/rethinking-solitary-confinement.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share).
We need people elected who will bring the fight for a more transparent, equitable government to the county- and that’s what I’ll do when elected.

Portland Council To Take Up Proposed Plastic Straw Ban
Portland city councilors will take up the issue of a ban on plastic straws and stirrers Monday night.
Portland Sustainability Coordinator Troy Moon says the ban is aimed at reducing waste without alienating consumers.
“We do realize there are some individuals who have disabilities or such reason that would require a straw. The ordinance allows that to happen. We’re really just trying to discourage people from thinking they need a straw every time they have a beverage,” he says.
The ban would affect eating establishments, restaurants and variety stores, but it wouldn’t eradicate straws from the city. People in need of straws would be able to request one.
Councilors could vote on the issue Oct. 21. If approved, the ban would go into effect next April. A statewide ban of the products will begin Jan. 2021.


Six-Time All-Star Blake Griffin Clears Waivers, Signs with Brooklyn Nets
The Brooklyn Nets are loading up for the postseason.
With the three-headed monster of James Harden, Kevin Durant, and Kyrie Irving already in place, it seems as though the Nets are getting even more help in the form of six-time All-Star Blake Griffin, his agent confirmed on Sunday night.
The Nets are using their veteran-minimum contract slot to sign Griffin for the remainder of the season after which he will once again enter free agency. Griffin cleared waivers earlier on Sunday after being bought out of the remaining $56.5 million left on his contract with the Detroit Pistons who were unable to find a trade partner for the former All-Star forward.
— Bleacher Report (@BleacherReport) March 7, 2021
The likelihood of Griffin returning to the Nets is relatively slim. According to ESPN’s Bobby Marks, the Nets will be in the luxury tax next season which means they will be unable to offer Griffin anything outside of the $5.9 million taxpayer mid-level exception. That being said, the Pistons are still on books to pay Griffin $29.8 million next year.
Through 20 games with the Pistons, Griffin has seen a steep decline in his performance and has averaged 12.3 points, 5.2 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game.

- 100% natural minerals

- Very suitable for swimming
Velda GH Plus easily increases the general hardness of the pond water. This stimulates the growth of oxygen plants and the development of micro-organisms. A good GH-value between GH 8 and 12 °DH prevents acidification of the pond. Measure the water values 4 times a year and adjust them.
Mix the necessary amount of GH Plus with water and spread this over the pond. Do not use GH Plus and KH Plus at the same time. Apply an intervening period of 7 days. Velda GH Plus is user-friendly and not harmful to the environment. Safe for people and pets, also fish, insects and the micro life in the pond.
Soft pond water, having a GH value (= calcium and magnesium, also referred to as general hardness, expressed in DH) lower than GH 7 °DH can easily become acid. Continuous rainfall will intensify this process. Especially in autumn and winter this can result in death of fish. Also the growth and development of oxygen producing plants will be inhibited at a too low GH value. If the value will decrease below GH 7 °DH, measures have to be taken.

The Victorian house called Seminole Lodge still boasts working light bulbs, which he invented. They burn in the laboratory where he worked on more than 1,000 inventions during his winter visits. The house next door, Mangoes, was built by Ford in 1916. Visitors are given guided tours of both houses by costumed guides giving 'living history' accounts. Scenic river rides on board a replica of Edison's electric boat are also offered.

In July we’ve been based in Salta in North West Argentina renting an apartment that fellow travellers Dan and Fiona introduced us to. The focus has been on getting some work done and enjoying the comforts of having our own place for a while – a kitchen, comfy bed, hot shower and a wonderful terrace complete with barbeque, jacuzzi and views of the hills that surround the city.
We’ve been getting in training for the Andes by regularly walking up the 1070 steps of Cerro San Bernardo for wonderful views of the city, especially at sunset. We’re also taking private Spanish lessons twice a week to keep up our progress.
We took a mini-break for our 11th anniversary to Finca Santa Anita, a farm near Coronel Moldes. We enjoyed some great horse riding around the pretty Dique Cabra Corral, but due to a cold snap spent the rest of the time huddled in rocking chairs close to the fire, working our way through the library.
On our last morning we woke to a garden covered in snow! It has been 14 years since this area last saw snow so it really was a freak occurrence. Only a week earlier we had been enjoying day time temperatures in the late 20s celsius. Thankfully it’s back to normal sunny days again now.
Next week we are moving to the countryside out of town to house sit Leigh from The Future is Red‘s house. Hopefully we’ll head up to Bolivia at the end of August.
Our map and photos are now updated with our road trip around the region and extra photos can be found on our Flickr page. It was difficult to choose just a selection of photos as the scenery was so stunning on this trip.
Never Ending Voyage Around the Web
July has been a good month for us with a huge traffic spike for Simon’s post The Benefits of Selling Everything You Own. We’ve been featured around the web in a number of places.
We participated in Vagabond Quest’s post on Top Advice by Travellers.
Johnny Vagabond included us on his list of 10 Travel Blogs I Follow From the Road even though he has much less time to read blogs while travelling. We are pleased to be included with such great company.
Brendan’s Adventures has listed us as one of the Top 100 Independent Travel Websites.
Digital Nomad Update
Following his site’s relaunch Simon has been inundated with web design and development work this month, and August looks like it’ll be even busier. Luckily our apartment in Salta is a great place to get work done.

Roulette catches up with artist Sarah Goldfeather for a quick Q+A.
Tell us a little bit about yourself and what you do.
I am a violinist, a singer, a songwriter, and a composer. I run, perform, and write music for a band called Goldfeather, a soprano-violin duo called Cipher, a septet called Exceptet. I also enjoy puns and funny socks.
Describe the project you are developing for Roulette.
Exceptet was the result of an impulse to start a new music ensemble with a silly name that took commissioning and performing music seriously. We have in fact commissioned and performed works from nine young and talented composers since our 2015 inception. Our project with Roulette will be an evening-length concert that focuses on three brand new premieres — substantial pieces by Brendon Randall-Myers and Matt Evans, and a short piece by myself. Each piece will come from a distinctly different sound world, and will shape out an evening of contrasting musical voices that work with sound and space. Brendon and Matt are both high-caliber musicians on and offstage, and we at Exceptet are thrilled to be collaborating with them. Brendon’s piece will feature each member of the septet; Matt’s piece will utilize the space by breaking the group into subsets; and my own piece is the synthesis of my normally disparate worlds of pop songwriting and contemporary classical music.
What is your favorite Roulette memory?
There have been a great many highlights, but one concert in particular that sticks out was Invisible Anatomy’s semi-staged evening-length work, Transfigure. The show was visually stunning, the music captivating and memorable, and the performers were incredibly engaging — I remember being completely absorbed and inspired. The performers were stationed in the middle of the space, and I recall appreciating how versatile Roulette is as a performance space.
What is your favorite record?
It is difficult to pick just one, but if I had to choose a record that influenced most of my musical tastes today, it would probably be Sunlandic Twins by Of Montreal. The songwriting is incredibly creative and the harmonies and textures take so many unexpected yet satisfying twists and turns. Coincidentally, the album was the exact length of my commute to my high school youth orchestra, so I really got to sing along the whole way through twice every Saturday morning for a few glorious adolescent years.
What are your top three favorite or most visited websites and why?
In 2003 I started my very own Geocities account and dedicated a whole page titled “Good Sites,” which consisted solely of numerous Lord of the Rings Parody websites. Since then, my tastes have broadened somewhat. Aside from the popular news/social media/email correspondence sites, I am most fond of Goodreads.com, which I update fastidiously; Megan Amram’s twitter account, because she might be the funniest person who has ever lived; and omfgdogs.com, to be experienced on a laptop with the volume all the way up.
What is influencing your work right now?
Interpersonal relationships of the past and present, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, music with unusual chord changes and/or unexpected meter changes, Kimbra as an artist, the music of Mitski, Anna Meredith, Ted Hearne, and Scott Wollschleger, the writing of Lydia Davis, Maggie Nelson, and Louise Gluck.
How long have you lived in New York City and what brought you here?
I have lived in Brooklyn for over 7 years, and honestly it’s hard to pinpoint exactly how I ended up here — I suppose a friend from college asked me to move to Brooklyn with her, and it certainly seemed like the proper place to migrate after graduation. I didn’t really have a plan back then, and certainly didn’t have any illusions that it was possible to be a musician at the time. Looking back, I’m grateful I followed that whim, as I don’t know if I could have grown as an artist and musician without this wonderful musical community stationed here.
Exceptet performs Mouth Full of Ears by Sarah Goldfeather, alongside new works from Matt Evans and Brendon Randall-Myers on February 8, 2018.

(Reuters) - If there’s one thing I hate when shopping, it’s buying something and then finding the item offered for less somewhere else.
Keen to spare its customers such aggravation, Amazon.com says it “constantly compares” its prices to make sure they’re “as low or lower than all relevant competitors.”
It sounds great, at least in theory. Rather than scouting 10 websites to find the best price on, say, a frying pan, I can just click “Buy Now” from Amazon and feel confident I got the optimal deal.
Except it’s not so simple, as a trio of antitrust suits -- the most recent filed last week by California Attorney General Rob Bonta -- against the $1.3 trillion e-commerce giant makes clear.
While Amazon’s low-price policies may seem budget-oriented and consumer-friendly, the lawsuits allege that the company is actually stifling price competition and using its market power to coerce third-party sellers into agreeing not to sell their products at a lower price elsewhere.
The result? Shoppers allegedly pay more -- an estimated 6% to 16%, according to plaintiffs' lawyers -- than they should across a wide swath of online marketplaces and stores.
An Amazon spokesperson told me that the suits have it “exactly backwards. Sellers set their own prices for the products they offer in our store.”
While the plaintiffs' claims seem compelling, antitrust experts tell me that making them stick is likely to be tricky.
A key issue in the three cases is whether Amazon's commitment to offering the lowest prices “helps or harms consumers,” said University of Minnesota Law School professor Tom Cotter. “In general, it's very difficult for plaintiffs to win on these types of claims.”
Indeed, one of the suits has already failed, at least initially. In March, a District of Columbia Superior Court judge dismissed a complaint by Washington, D.C., attorney general Karl Racine for failing to show Amazon's actions were anticompetitive.
Racine’s office, which did not respond to a request for comment, has filed a notice of appeal.
Plaintiffs in Seattle federal court are faring better, where a group of trial lawyers from Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan; Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro; and Keller Postman blazed the trail in 2020 by filing the first of the Amazon pricing complaints.
Their would-be class action is sweeping in its ambition, encompassing about 340 million products offered concurrently on both Amazon competing e-commerce channels such as eBay or Walmart.com, and covering consumers in 18 states who bought goods online.
Amazon is represented by Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison in the Seattle case, and was also represented by the firm in the D.C. case. Partner Karen Dunn declined to comment.
Crucially, the plaintiffs earlier this year survived a motion to dismiss, when U.S. District Judge Richard Jones found that the class representatives had standing to sue and that they “sufficiently allege the requisite anticompetitive conduct.”
Plaintiffs' lawyer Steve Berman, who is co-leading the case, laid out their theory for me.
“Amazon charges high seller fees and commissions so that it costs third-party sellers significantly more to sell on Amazon Marketplace than to sell on their own websites that charge no fees, or on competing online retail marketplaces (like eBay) that charge lower seller fees,” he said via email.
If the third-party sellers hadn’t agreed to restrain their competition with Amazon, Berman continued, they “would lower their prices on online sites where it costs them less to sell, but instead they raise their prices to match the prices on Amazon Marketplace.”
Under this scenario, consumers are the losers.
Or as the California AG put it in his complaint, which was filed on Sept. 14 in San Francisco Superior Court, Amazon is using its pricing policies to entrench its dominance, "preventing effective competition, and harming consumers and the California economy."
The state’s 84-page complaint, which a spokesperson described as “the culmination of an extensive 2+ year investigation,” invokes California’s antitrust statute, the Cartwright Act, and its unfair competition law.
The Cartwright Act “is a very good law to sue on” for plaintiffs, New York University School of Law professor Eleanor Fox told me. Unlike the federal Sherman Antitrust Act, it doesn’t require the state to convince the court that Amazon is a monopoly -- a high bar -- but merely that it is dominant, which is “much easier to prove.”
Amazon in a blog post counters that the AG “misconstrues Amazon’s practices.”
Yes, the company may crack down if a seller’s prices are “significantly higher than recent prices offered on or off Amazon,” according to the company’s “Fair Pricing” policy. But Amazon in court papers says that provision is aimed at preventing price gouging (remember vultures in the early days of the pandemic selling hand sanitizer for $50 a bottle?)
Nor is it clear what a satisfactory remedy would look like if the suits succeed, notes Adam Kovacevich, founder and CEO of the Chamber of Progress, which describes itself as a “center-left tech industry policy coalition.”
As-is, Amazon “factors in the seller’s price elsewhere in deciding what to feature” in its coveted "Buy Now" box where most sales happen, he told me, a practice that he sees as benefiting consumers.
Pricier offerings can still be sold on its platform, Amazon says -- they’re just not showcased in the Buy Now box. It would “only hurt consumers and sellers in Amazon’s store” if it was forced to “highlight higher, uncompetitive prices to customers,” the company says.
Penn State Law professor John Lopatka adds that Amazon could also argue its practices are designed to prevent “free riding,” where people browse on Amazon but purchase from a cut-rate rival. Amazon is “providing a service for which it does not charge -- easy comparative shopping,” Lopatka said in an email.
He added, “And on a practical level, the plaintiffs are going to have a difficult time convincing consumers who have come to depend on Amazon that they are really being ripped off by it.”

Syracuse falls to 11th in polls as ACC Tournament looms Friday
Mon, 10 Mar 2014 16:59:24 GMT —
Even a win couldnâ??t stop Syracuse from tumbling further down this week's polls.
After righting the ship with a 74-58 victory over the Florida State Seminoles on Sunday, the stumbling Syracuse Orange still fell four spots in this weekâ??s Associated Press college basketball poll. The 27-4 Orange are now 11th in the nation, largely due to their 67-62 home loss to Georgia Tech on Tuesday.
The Orange are also 11th in the USA Today coaches poll this week.
SU looked good in its win over the Seminoles, bolstered by the return of Jerami Grant to the lineup after he missed the loss to the Yellow Jackets with a muscle strain in his back. Grant scored 16 points and added 8 rebounds in 35 minutes in the win Sunday, and seemed to his normal self again.
The Orange now get a few days off before they travel to Greensboro, North Carolina for their first ACC Tournament later this week. SU is the #2 seed and will receive a double-bye, meaning they do not play until 7:00 p.m. Friday versus either North Carolina State, Miami, or Virginia Tech. The game Friday night will be televised live on WSTM-NBC3 in the Syracuse area.
Florida, which finished an unbeaten season in the Southeastern Conference, and Wichita State, which completed an undefeated regular season, are the top two teams in the AP poll for the third straight week.
The Gators (29-2), who received 50 first-place votes from the 65-member national media panel Monday, open play in the SEC tournament Friday.
The Shockers (34-0) got the other 15 No. 1 votes. They won the Missouri Valley Conference tournament Sunday, the first team to enter the NCAA tournament without a loss since UNLV in 1991.
Villanova moved from sixth to third, while Arizona dropped one spot to fourth. Louisville jumped from 11th to fifth, followed by Virginia and Duke. San Diego State and Michigan tied for eighth and Kansas was 10th.
Kentucky, which has lost three of four, dropped out from 25th, the fourth preseason No. 1 to fall out of the poll in the same season.
(Information from the Associated Press was used in this report).


The second ranked Wisconsin women’s hockey team scored twice in the final minute on Sunday to force a 5-5 tie with No. 9 Minnesota-Duluth and earn the 2019-20 WCHA regular-season title outright.
Senior alternate captain Abby Roque led the charge and finished the battle for Wisconsin (27-4-3, 17-4-3-2 WCHA) posting two goals, while junior Daryl Watts brought up the rear by taking the draw point from Minnesota-Duluth (16-10-6, 11-8-5-3 WCHA).
For the third-straight game, UW found itself in a 1-0 hole after the first period when UMD scored a power-play goal with less than two minutes left in the period.
The Bulldogs looked as if they would pull the upset in the regular season finale, up 5-3 late. But Wisconsin’s Sophie Shirley tapped in the fourth Badger goal with 58 seconds left on a pass from Watts. [Read more…]

Fiction. The hero of Thomas Fuller's new book walks around while asking one big question after another—what is truth, what is beauty, what is justice—on his journey through the classical world. Along the way he comes into contact with people—a cave guide in the ancient city of Matera, a taxi cab driver in Naples, the imperious owner of a grand hotel in Rome, among others—so modern they're ancient and so ancient they're modern. When he ditches his male sidekick for a female muse, the trip takes on an entirely different dimension, as our hero edges closer and closer and closer to asking the oldest philosophical question in the world: what is the best way to live one's life, knowing there's no right answer. Tender, funny, profane, outrageous, THE CLASSICAL WORLD is a quixotic excursion for which there's no tour guide other than the self.
"If Heraclitus had a great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great grandson he'd no doubt think like Thomas Fuller."—Anonymous
THE CLASSICAL WORLD is Thomas Fuller's second book of fiction. His first, MONSIEUR AMBIVALENCE, A POST- LITERATE FABLE, received a Finalist Award in the Fiction Category at the 2014 Next Generation Indie Book Awards. A poet, he's written seven books and chapbooks of poetry, including Days By Themselves and The Frog Club, under his given name, Brooks Roddan, as well as the quasi-memoir, MARE ISLAND.Author City: SAN FRANCISCO, CA USA

If you suspect to have house centipedes infestation you should contact Heritage Pest Control for an inspection and a customized control.
Adult centipedes are yellowish to dark brown, often with dark markings and 1/8 to 6 inches long. The body is flattened with 15 to 177 body segments that typically have one pair of legs each. They have one pair of slender antennae.
House centipede (Scutigera coleoptrata), prefer to live in moist environments. The house centipede can live indoors in damp basements, moist closets, and bathrooms and outdoors under stones, decaying firewood, objects on the ground, piles of leaves, mulch, etc. Most centipedes are active at night. The first pair of legs on centipedes has poison glands that are used to kill prey, such as insects and spiders. Centipedes can bite humans, but the bite is seldom worse than a bee sting.
House centipedes can be controlled indoors by eliminating their harborage areas where possible. A vacuum should be used to remove exposed centipedes. Liquid and dust applications can be introduced into wall voids, cracks and crevices along baseboards, and into other potential hiding places.

"Have you ever gone out of your way to make someone happy?"
Yes, of course. But I'm a mom. I love helping people. I love making other's happy. But because of my anxiety, there are some times when it is hard for me to to push my own fears aside and do something purely for someone else. Going anywhere that I know will be be busy and crowded is something I am still unable to do. Leaving the house on Saturday's has always been hard for me, even though I know Saturday's are the days you're supposed to go out because that is when everything is going on and when the whole family can do something together.
There have been times I've been unable to do things because I knew there would be a crowd; taking my son to see a movie on a Saturday because I knew it was going to be a full theater; going to an ex-friends bachelorette party because I knew the restaurant was going to be packed that Saturday night because it is EVERY Saturday night, and I didn't want to freak out and ruin her night.
When it does not involve large groups of people, or crowded places, I'm normally okay. For the past few months, I have been helping my aunt with basically everything from taking her grocery shopping to helping her pack to move. I don't mind doing it because I know it makes her less stressed, and also my grandparents less stressed. I don't really consider that going "out of my way", though.

p. 34013. Defences I: incapacity and negating the elements of the offence
- Nicola MonaghanNicola MonaghanPrincipal Lecturer in Law, University of Worcester
Without assuming prior legal knowledge, books in the Directions series introduce and guide readers through key points of law and legal debate. Questions, diagrams, and exercises help readers to engage fully with each subject and check their understanding as they progress. This chapter discusses the following general defences: infancy, insanity, automatism, intoxication (involuntary and voluntary), and mistake. Children under 10 are conclusively presumed incapable of committing a criminal offence. Insanity (insane automatism) is concerned with the defendant’s mental condition at the time of the offence. Automatism is available where the defendant suffers a total loss of control or is unaware of what he is doing. Involuntary intoxication may be a defence to any offence if the defendant does not have the mens rea for that offence. Voluntary intoxication is no defence to a basic intent offence. A mistake as to civil law may negate the mens rea of an offence.

Ray Lu, MD, Justin W. Smock, MD
University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics, Iowa City, IA
Introduction: Ascending cholangitis can lead to liver abscess (LA). Intrahepatic gallbladder (GB) perforation with fistula formation is an uncommon cause of LA. The co-occurrence of all 3 phenomena is rare.
Case Description/Methods: An 88-year-old man with a history of idiopathic fibrosing pancreatitis diagnosed 3 months prior that required stenting of the common bile duct (CBD) presented with 4 days of malaise, nausea, vomiting, and fever. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) showed occluded CBD stent coated with stone material. Successful biliary sphincterotomy and stone extraction was performed. The patient’s symptoms initially resolved but recurred later that day. On exam he was tachycardic, tachypneic, and febrile to 103.1F, with pain in the right upper quadrant (RUQ) of the abdomen without guarding nor rebound. Labs showed WBC 33.4 k/mm3, total bilirubin 2.2 mg/dL, ALP 488 U/L, AST 43 U/L, ALT 39 U/L, and lipase 44 U/L. RUQ ultrasound (US) showed a heterogeneously hypoechoic right liver lesion 6.3 x 7.4 x 4.3 cm in size, consistent with LA and noted to be contiguous with the GB, which had a thickened wall, an irregular sloughing appearance concerning for gangrenous cholecystitis, and contained sludge, gallstones, and air. A percutaneous cholecystostomy drain was placed by interventional radiology (IR). Intra-procedure sinogram and US showed the LA to be connected to the GB. A second percutaneous drain was placed into the LA. Abscess cultures were polymicrobial. The patient was treated with 4 weeks of piperacillin-tazobactam, and then transitioned to amoxicillin-clavulanic acid with plans to continue antibiotic therapy for a total of 6 months. One month after discharge, computed tomography (CT) showed resolution of LA, and both IR drains were removed. Given clinical improvement, cholecystectomy has not been pursued due to advanced age.
Discussion: When ascending cholangitis and choledocholithiasis are successfully treated through ERCP but the patient does not improve clinically, LA should be considered. Intrahepatic GB perforation leading to fistula formation is a rare cause of LA that most commonly occurs in the elderly, particularly those with a history of chronic biliary disease. Exam and labs can be non-specific, while US and CT are useful diagnostically. Successful treatment involves ERCP, drainage of LA, an extended course of antibiotics, and, while cholecystectomy is preferred, percutaneous cholecystostomy appears to be a viable first option in high-risk patients.
