D.C. Water Bonds Ride Best Long-Debt Gain Since ’12: Muni CreditElizabeth Campbell
The water authority that serves the White House is taking advantage of a rally in the longest-dated debt to join universities and the owner of the World Trade Center site in borrowing 100 years into the future.
The sale last week rode demand for longer maturities as interest rates close to generational lows push investors to take on more risk. State and city bonds maturing in more than 22 years are on pace to beat the $3.7 trillion municipal market for the first time in two years. They’re earning 11 percent in 2014 to the broader market’s 6.1 percent, Bank of America Merrill Lynch data show.
The offering from the District of Columbia Water & Sewer Authority was a first for a U.S. public utility. It issued $350 million of taxable debt, with proceeds going toward a $2.6 billion project to curb sewer overflows. With the U.S. facing a $3.6 trillion bill for infrastructure work, more municipalities may consider using the securities to finance projects affecting generations of taxpayers, said George Hawkins, general manager of the agency.
“The project is a once-in-several-lifetimes project that fundamentally expands the capacity of the entire system,” he said before the sale.
Century bonds are rare. Other municipal issuers have typically been in higher education, according to Mark Kim, the authority’s chief financial officer.
The University of California in 2012 issued $860 million of federally taxable 100-year munis, at the time the largest for a college. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey sold tax-exempt century debt in 1994. Schools including the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have sold centuries into the corporate market. So has the railroad Norfolk Southern Corp.
Buyers last week included pension funds, insurers and investors who typically purchase corporate bonds, Kim said.
Longer bonds typically offer more yield to compensate for the added risk of the lengthier holding period, though the gap fluctuates according to the outlook for inflation and interest rates.
The water provider serves about 640,000 residents and provides wastewater treatment to about 1.6 million people in Maryland’s Prince George and Montgomery counties and Virginia’s Fairfax and Loudoun counties, bond documents show. The water system also supplies the White House, Congress, the Supreme Court and the International Monetary Fund.
The authority is borrowing to build tunnels about 10 stories deep as part of a project to reduce overflow into rivers and neighborhoods.
The expected lifetime of the tunnel system is at least 100 years, Hawkins said, citing engineering analysis. The bonds mature in October 2114.
While the project was eligible for tax-exempt financing, DC Water chose taxable securities given the “significant taxable century-bond market,” said Jeff Scruggs, managing director at Goldman Sachs Group Inc., which underwrote the deal with Barlcays Plc.
The bonds, with the third-highest credit mark of Aa2 from Moody’s Investors Service, priced to yield 4.81 percent, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. In comparison, benchmark 30-year Treasuries yielded about 3.37 percent that day.
Century bonds don’t work for some utilities. Under New York state public-authorities law, bonds issued by New York City Municipal Water Finance Authority must mature within 40 years, said Amy Spitalnick, spokeswoman for the mayor’s budget office.
JEA, which provides water and electricity to Jacksonville, Florida, is working on having shorter, rather than longer, maturities, said Paul McElroy, the authority’s chief executive officer, because of the changing regulatory environment and potential climate-change risk.
The maturity appeals mostly to buyers with longer horizons, according to Gary Pollack, New York-based head of fixed-income trading at Deutsche Bank AG’s private-wealth management unit, which oversees $12 billion.
This kind of bond is for a “rather unique investor with very specific investment needs,” he said.
Before this sale, the longest bond DC Water had sold was 35 years, Kim said. The 100-year life could limit future flexibility, Fitch Ratings said in a June 26 report.
The notes are considered “green bonds” because proceeds are for environmental projects. This is the first bond “certified” with that label in the U.S., according to DC Water. The designation helped attract almost $100 million in orders, Kim said.
Investors placed bids for about $1.1 billion of debt, and the authority upped the deal by $50 million.
The higher yield on the bonds made them “very attractive,” according to Scruggs, co-head of the public sector and infrastructure group at Goldman.
Investors trying to pad returns have pushed down yields on longer-dated debt more than those on shorter maturities.
Investors last week demanded as little as 2.98 percentage points of extra yield to own munis maturing in 2044 rather than those due in two years, data compiled by Bloomberg show. That gap was close to a one-year low.
Hawkins said he has received calls from other authorities about the financing, though he declined to name them.
“There’s just a lot of need for longer-term, high-quality bonds that have an attractive spread, and this certainly fits that model,” said Dan Heckman, a Kansas City, Missouri-based senior fixed-income strategist at U.S. Bank Wealth Management, which oversees $120 billion.

Acute hepatic porphyria is a genetic disorder that causes acute symptom “attacks” in some people. Attacks can be sudden, severe and life-threatening. The problem begins in your liver, but eventually it affects your nervous system. Symptoms can include nerve pain, vomiting, neuropathy and seizures.
Acute hepatic porphyria (AHP) is a group of rare genetic disorders that begin in your liver and go on to affect your nervous system, causing symptoms throughout your body. Symptoms occur when toxic compounds build up in your liver and then pass into your bloodstream, where they come into contact with your nerves. There are four different types of AHP, representing half of the eight types of porphyria that affect different organs.
Porphyria is a deficiency in one of the enzymes that your body needs to make heme (a component of hemoglobin in your blood). During the process of making heme, the absence of specific enzymes causes other compounds to go unused and build up in your body tissues. These leftover compounds — called porphyrin precursors — are toxic when they build up. In acute hepatic porphyria, they build up in your liver first.
The different types of AHP represent different enzymes that are missing. They fall under the sub-type of acute hepatic porphyria because they begin in your liver (hepatic) and because they’re characterized by sudden (acute) attacks of symptoms. In order of most common to least common, they are:
AHP affects people differently. Some people with a gene deficiency associated with AHP do not experience symptoms. Some only experience one to a few “attacks” of symptoms during their lifetimes. Others have more frequent attacks. And some have long-term (chronic) symptoms that affect their day-to-day quality of life. An acute attack of symptoms may be severe enough to bring you to the emergency room. It may involve severe nerve pain, skin changes and neurological symptoms.
A person of any race or ethnicity may inherit a gene mutation associated with AHP from one or both parents that carry the mutation. Most never develop symptoms. It takes more than the gene mutation alone to trigger the onset of AHP symptoms. Hormonal changes, certain drugs, alcohol use, smoking and severe stress are some of the factors that can trigger the onset of symptoms. Among those who do develop symptoms, 80% are assigned female at birth and of childbearing age.
It’s difficult to accurately determine the prevalence of AHP because it often goes undiagnosed. It’s estimated to occur in 5 out of every 100,000 people worldwide. Acute intermittent porphyria is the most common type, making up about 80% of documented cases. ALAD-deficiency porphyria is the least common, with only nine documented cases. Only about 1 out of every 10 people with an AHP gene mutation develop symptoms.
Symptoms of AHP are often baffling to those who experience them as well as to their healthcare providers. They can strike suddenly and severely and seem to be unconnected to each other. Symptoms can include pain in different areas of the body, problems with your digestive system and severe skin reactions to sunlight. They can also include cognitive and sensory changes related to your nervous system.
Nerve pain may affect different areas of your body, including:
Disrupted nerves in your digestive system may cause gastrointestinal symptoms, such as:
Symptoms related to your central nervous system can include:
Symptoms related to your peripheral nervous system can include:
Symptoms related to your autonomic nervous system can include:
People with variegate porphyria or hereditary coproporphyria may develop skin reactions to sunlight, such as:
Finally, porphyria can change the color of your urine. Leftover porphyrin precursors that build up in your body and pass through your pee may give it a reddish-purple color. (“Porphyria” comes from the Greek word “porphura,” for purple. Porphyrins in your red blood cells are involved in making your blood red).
Most people with symptomatic AHP experience their symptoms as occasional acute “attacks.” These may be more or less frequent or severe for different people. They usually last a few days and get progressively worse before getting better. Severe and frightening symptoms may bring you to the emergency room, and some of these can be medical emergencies. For example, respiratory paralysis can make breathing difficult.
The most common symptom that brings more than 90% of people with AHP to seek medical care is severe unexplained abdominal pain. This is a difficult start for the diagnosis process. Abdominal pain has many causes, and most of them can be traced back to something that healthcare providers can see in an imaging study (such as an X-ray or CT scan). But abdominal pain in AHP is nerve-related and not something they can diagnose on imaging.
Abdominal pain in AHP is often accompanied by nausea, vomiting and constipation. This can mislead healthcare providers to assume you have a gastrointestinal disease. If you also report mental and sensory symptoms related to your nervous system, they might think you have a neurological disorder. It takes a doctor familiar with porphyria to recognize the unconventional combination of symptoms.
People with milder forms of the disease (less prominent enzyme deficiencies) rarely have chronic symptoms and may only have one or two attacks during their lifetimes. Those who are able to identify the factors that triggered their attacks can often successfully avoid them in the future. But others have more frequent attacks, and some symptoms are so frequent that they can be considered chronic. These can include:
Symptoms related to your central nervous system, such as anxiety, hallucinations and seizures, are usually short-lived during an acute attack. Symptoms related to your peripheral nervous system, such as muscle weakness and paralysis, can be more frequent, and a severe attack can cause lasting damage. An overload of porphyrin precursors can also cause cumulative damage to certain organs, leading to:
Genetic mutations are the original cause of AHP, but having the gene mutation isn’t usually enough to trigger the onset of symptoms. Most commonly, hormone changes in puberty trigger them for the first time. Other factors that can trigger them are prescription and recreational drug use, excessive alcohol use, severe calorie restriction and illnesses that cause significant stress to your metabolic system.
What these triggers have in common is that they stimulate the heme production cycle in your liver. However, in a person with AHP, the liver does not have the necessary enzymes to metabolize other byproducts (such as porphyrin precursors) made by the heme production cycle. As a result, leftover porphyrin precursors build up in your liver tissues. They have to build up to a certain level to begin to cause symptoms in your nervous system.
Getting an accurate diagnosis can be challenging for people with acute hepatic porphyria. The symptoms aren’t specific to this condition and often appear to be unrelated to each other. However, healthcare providers familiar with AHP may recognize it when you have central and peripheral nervous system symptoms together with abdominal pain. This is considered the “classic triad” of AHP symptoms.
When your healthcare provider suspects AHP, they can test for it in a variety of ways. During an acute attack, a urine test is a quick and accessible way. Urine tests may be normal between attacks, but during one they will show elevated levels of porphyrin precursors (PBG and ALA). This isn’t a definitive test for AHP, but it’s a useful first-line screening test that can point healthcare providers in the right direction.
Genetic testing is the gold standard for diagnosing AHP. A genetic test can confirm that you have one of the gene mutations that cause AHP whether or not you’re having symptoms. It can also tell you what type of AHP you have and how severe your enzyme deficiency is. A genetic test uses a sample of your blood or saliva. Your local hospital may have to send the sample away to a specialty lab to have it tested.
Treatment for AHP is focused on preventing and managing symptom attacks. During an attack, you may need hospital care. You may need various medications to reduce your different symptoms. Between attacks, you may need different medications to keep your triggers in check. Treatment is more effective when you and your healthcare provider are able to identify which triggers affect you the most.
Treatment for an acute attack may include:
Long-term treatment options may include:
You can’t prevent inheriting the disease, but you may be able to prevent symptoms from occurring by avoiding triggers. If you’ve never had an attack, you should avoid all possible triggers. If you’ve had attacks and have isolated the triggers that caused them, you may only need to avoid certain ones. Common triggers include:
It varies widely. Most will never develop symptoms. Among those who do, most will only experience one or a few attacks in their lifetimes. Although attacks can be life-threatening, most people recover completely with prompt medical care. About 5% of people with AHP have frequent or chronic symptoms. For these people, preventative medications are often helpful, and liver transplantation is a possible last resort.
A note from Cleveland Clinic
Acute hepatic porphyria is rare, and general awareness of the condition is low. When acute symptoms strike in a sudden attack, they can be confusing and frightening. Some people spend years trying to find out what might be wrong with them and what might help. If you suspect you might have AHP, genetic testing can confirm it. Once you know, you’ll be in a better position to prevent and manage attacks.

The much-talked about film Padmaavat has been stirring up major controversies ever since it was first announced. Several groups, including Karni Sena, across the nation, have been organising protests to ban the screening the film alleging that it “distorted history” and would potentially taint the image of the Indian culture. Director Sanjay Leela Bhansali, who has been claiming that Padmaavat doesn’t contain any such portions which would hurt the sentiments of anyone, thus, invited the Rajput community to watch the film before its release.
After watching the film, the Karni Sena, which was visibly impressed with Bhansali’s magnum opus, shouted the slogans of “Jhuka Bhansali Jeeta Rajput”, which literally translates to Bhansali has bowed and Rajput has won.
Addressing the media after watching the film, mediator Suresh Chavhanke said, “Whatever objections we had raised against the film have been considered in sizable proportions. Our biggest objection was the presence of a shot featuring Alauddin Khilji and Ma Padmavati. Whether through a ‘dream sequence’ or just a mere reflection, we did not want Khilji to touch Padmavati. And it has been the Rajputs’ victory that Khilji, who couldn’t lay hands on Padmavati centuries ago, has failed to do so again through Bhansali’s film.” He added, “Our second objection was that the Ghoomar dance does not feature any male presence or reveal any body part. Thankfully, the song in the film does not have any male presence (except Raja Rawalji) and Padmavati’s midriff has been covered by digital effects.”
Padmaavat will hit the screens on 25th January. The early screenings of the film have already received a thumping response from the critics who came out all praise for the film’s actors, Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh, and Shahid Kapoor.

The Clowns [Blu-ray]

Your RatingCreate an account or log in to rate this movie
Federico Fellini's incredible and lengthy oeuvre is filled with the oddity of sideshow performers and his beloved painted faced clowns. The most famous example of this is probably the final scene in his masterpiece 8½, in which there is a parade of clowns marching around the half constructed set piece. In 1970, he had the opportunity to produce a feature length film devoted to his childhood fascination titled, The Clowns, which originally ran as a holiday television special and shortly after received a theatrical release. As a film, The Clowns is an oddity, collecting real life childhood memories of the circus rolling into town and pairing them with an adult Fellini making a mockumentary about the now golden aged entertainers of his youth. It is very much the product of Fellini's brilliant mind, but its strange structure and slowly emerging plot may make it a bit disconnecting to viewers not overly enthused with circus folk.
We are greeted with a grand circus event played out beneath a classic big top. There are all the staples – clowns, wild animals, fire breathers, you name it. It plays out thoroughly, avoiding truncation, letting us take in the experience as if we were a peanut munching member of the crowd. This is followed by Fellini himself and a small documentary crew traveling to Paris in order to investigate the lives of retired circus performers. We follow the faux film crew into the homes of retirees as they recount their fading memories of their circus careers. Along the way he finds one of his stars (Anita Ekberg) in the midst of purchasing a big cat, but the fate of one of his entertainers ends in his passing.
Fellini wasn't one to shy away from exposing personal experience, and though the film is a work of fiction, it certainly pulls from his childhood memories. The film starts in waves of dream like sequences, adding to the feeling of recalled experience. Like his childhood inspiration, the on screen circus is full of humor, breathing in the applause and laughter of its onlookers, but he also felt deeply connected to the adventurous traveling circus lifestyle and made sure to include it as such within his picture. The Clowns is truly a heartfelt nod to one of his biggest artistic influences.
Italian home release label Raro Video has recently developed a US division, and The Clowns makes for a very impressive first Blu-ray release. The recently digitally restored 35mm transfer looks quite good, with fine detail and natural colors intact. No noise or distortion was found at any point. The DTS-HD 5.1 track is paired with the original 2.0 mono track, both sound full and lively with the 5.1 track sounding a bit bigger with added separation. Extras included are quite generous, including a 16 minute short by Fellini titled Un Agenzia Matrimoniale, which was taken from the omnibus film L'Amore In Citta. “Fellini's Circus” is a thorough visual film essay by Fellini expert Adriano Apra discusses Fellini's obsession with clowns and the use of them throughout his filmography. The disc itself comes safely in a digi-pack which is housed in a nicely designed slipcase. Along with the disc is a hefty 50-page booklet with full color drawings and writing by Fellini himself on the film, as well as some scene dissections. It's really quite a nice package and a beautiful Blu-ray debut for Raro Video.
Though it doesn't rank among Fellini's greatest and most influential work, The Clowns is certainly an important part of his filmography, and a welcome new release. The Blu-ray release is a wonderful package and with a reasonable price, comes as an easy recommendation for fans of the filmmaker.

Bonjour Mes Amis (that means my friends in French), I’m on a road trip all the way to the Alsace Region of France and beyond.
After returning from the US and touching down in the UK by plane, I needed to have a bit of a rest. After my rest, my itch to travel came back and I was ready for another adventure.
Not too long ago my paws visited the magnificent Alsace region in France.
Before Danny and I could reach Alsace though we had to figure out how to get there.
Of course, since us four-legged kind are not allowed on the Eurostar or on the cabins of airplanes from the UK to Europe, we had to get creative and we didn’t have a car in the UK either to drive across the channel.
So we still had a couple of options to cross into Continental Europe: A.) Ferry as a foot passenger via Newhaven to Dieppe (a 3-hour ferry ride) or B.) Blabla car, a ride sharing service, kind of like hitchhiking but online. We went with option B, getting a lift from a friendly stranger across the English Channel via the Tunnel from Folkestone to Calais.
We arrived in Calais, my tail wagging and all, after just a 45-minute tunnel ride from Folkestone.
Our plan was to meet up with a university friend in Calais, book a car and then drive it all the way down to Strasbourg. But I’m getting ahead of myself.
Let’s see a bit of Calais.
Danny and I checked in to our pre-booked dog-friendly accommodation called Hôtel Victoria not too far from the port of Calais.
After we checked in and threw our bags down we walked around town to do some sight-seeing.
The town of Calais gets millions of people coming in every day but not too many people (or dogs) stop and stay and we both knew there the town had something to offer for tourists. If not, then we could at least eat some French baguettes and croissants!
It was during the spring season that we visited Calais and not surprisingly the weather is very much like England. So it was a good thing that I brought my hoodie with me! The day was grey with sprinkles of rain that visited every so often from the clouds but we made the most of it. Our first tour stop was the magnificent Église Notre-Dame de Calais.
We then wandered about near the port area trying to figure out where all the tourist sights were. Afterward we ventured into the town center and we got to see a bit of the most famous sights in Calais. These are must-sees if you ever make a stopover here!
Our first sight was Les Bourgeois de Calais (The Burghers of Calais). Of course when Danny first told me we would go see Burghers, I began to salivate and imagined chomping into a juicy French hamburger, but alas I was wrong. Instead we came upon these wonderful sculptures.
The monument pays tribute to six citizens of Calais. The town of Calais had been under siege for over a year by English soldiers under King Edward III, so the six citizens offered to die if Edward spared the rest of the town’s people. Interesting! The looks on their faces speaks volumes!
The statues of the Burghers were located in front of Town Hall, which happened to also have a beautiful garden that’s worth a walkthrough. I did a smell-through, taking in all the wonderful scents of the flowers and sneezing along the way.
The grass was so gorgeously cut and laid out that I just had to do my favorite dance. Here we go…
After our visit to the Centre we picked up our rental car and then drove to Calais Beach to see what it looked like. I was happy to see that it was a sandy beach! It was still quite cold and windy so not too many people were out, only the odd person with their dog.
After our day in Calais, we met up with our friend and took off south toward the Alsace region. But almost anytime we come to France we go through Calais. So we will be back!
Until next time my friends. Au Revoir! See you in Strasbourg!

City crews plug meters at random starting Black Friday
Julie Happy, 509.625.7773
Wednesday, November 26, 2014 at 2:05 p.m.
City Parking Enforcement crews will be out performing random acts of kindness during the holiday season, plugging parking meters for some visitors to Downtown Spokane.
Every year, City crews plug random parking meters starting on Black Friday through to New Year’s Day. The tradition is a goodwill effort to encourage people to come downtown during the holiday season to celebrate and support downtown businesses. In December 2013, parking enforcement officers gave more than $400 worth of free parking to downtown visitors.
The City’s nine parking enforcement officers will operate as ‘secret Santas’ during normal parking meter hours (8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday).
Money to plug parking meters is donated from the City’s parking meter revenue funds.

This is a great starter recipe and a family favorite. Use it as a winning side dish, especially instead of French fries. This dish is universally well-received by ALL kinds of eaters. In fact, when I served these potatoes at a large family dinner, the potatoes created a stir of excitement amongst the guests before I could get them on the table. Everybody loved them, and even the picky eaters had second helpings.
Whenever we’re thinking about putting something on or in our bodies, it’s good to be skeptical and check out all the ingredients and available facts. Sometimes synthetic medications – whether over-the-counter or prescription – are necessary. Other times, we can reach for something more natural that may not have as many side effects.

Stuck in a rut with your cooking? Today I offer you a helping hand to pull you out of it: three spices that have existed for thousands of years yet you may never have tried. Each has a unique flavor to excite your palate and entice your family to come to the dinner table.
We know the United States has a problem with ultra-processed foods, and we can point to the well-documented health effects of overconsuming these foods. If the food industry wants to hijack and reframe the dialogue on processed foods, it is important for health advocates to have an alternate strategy that clearly communicates the importance of making room for whole, unprocessed foods.
For nights when I just don’t have it together enough to make a yeast dough in advance, this biscuit crust comes to my aid. The whole wheat pastry flour blends up quickly and bakes up light and flaky.

Housing Market Mess? Blame Mike Milken
Before Milken revolutionized the junk bond market at Drexel Burnham Lambert in the 1980s, banking was both more regulated and more sedate -- precisely the attributes being called for in bankers lately from both sides of the aisle in Washington. But with President Reagan working back then to reduce regulation and guys like Mike Milken pushing the envelope on what was possible (ethical, even legal -- remember Mike went to prison), the world of finance quickly changed. Milken was master of a killer new financial technology, the phone bank, and used it to sell enough junk paper in 1987 to score himself a salary and bonus of $550 million (more than $1 billion today), setting in every way the trend we see now.
That trend is using technology to force increases in both supply and demand -- increases that, absent the enabling technology, would have appeared absurd on their face.
But that didn't matter to Milken's telephone sales force. All they knew was that rich people who had never bought junk bonds before would do so if you called them at home after they'd had a couple of drinks and offered what appeared to be fabulous terms.
The terms were fabulous because the bonds were, well, junk. They didn't come up with that name as a joke.
The bond business under Milken and his ilk grew enormously, financing the profligate 80's and setting us up for the dot-com 90's. But that doesn't mean the business scaled well. In fact it scaled poorly. Scaling well would have produced big sales without having to compromise the quality of the bonds being offered. Applied to the housing market, scale would mean selling more mortgages, but only to people who could actually afford their new homes.
So here's the drill. A charismatic leader uses a new technology to dramatically expand a financial market to the benefit of his company and its people, but not necessarily to the benefit of people in general or the market overall. Milken blew out the bond market, ratcheting up demand and then supply until the market reached a state of equilibrium that was defined not so much by its success but by its EXcess. It was as big as the market could get without crashing -- an equilibrium of pain.
And thanks to the marvel of derivatives (and a little groundwork by Lewis Ranieri of Salomon Brothers), that's just what happened in the mortgage-backed securities and credit default swap businesses in the decade just passed. There is no real difference between junk bonds in the 1980s, day trading in the late 1990s or trading mortgage-backed securities two years ago. All three markets were artificially expanded beyond what they could reasonably sustain.
They didn't scale.
Greed is a great attractor. By scaling these businesses beyond what was even remotely sensible small organizations could make huge profits. The ultimate example of this was Bernie Madoff, who made a fortune doing nothing at all -- scaling to $60 billion a business that should have supported his family and a few employees and maybe that house out in Montauk.
Through the use of computers to create and trade synthetic securities, little companies could look big, posting big company profits and granting obscene bonuses because they cleverly avoided big company overhead. But of course it depended on creating more and more demand, which meant more and more home owners -- even owners who couldn't reasonably afford the homes they were buying. And that's how we got to where we are today.
Thanks for nothing, Mike.

According to a brand new report, Khloe Kardashian may soon be available to date someone else! The reason? One source claims the KUWK star is finally over her baby daddy Tristan Thompson!
Apparently, she is unexpectedly happy and content being in L.A. while he’s in Cleveland.
The insider shared with People that ‘She very much seems over Tristan. Not sure how the two went from fine to being apart for weeks, but Khloe’s doing great.’
The two have been away from each other for weeks since the basketball player went back to Cleveland for the new NBA season.
‘It’s amazing to see what a great mother she is and how much she enjoys it. She’s very much just focused on the happy things in her life. [her daughter] True, of course, makes her the happiest.’
Originally, Khloe was planning to go with Tristan to Cleveland, but now that she’s remained in Los Angeles, the new mother feels like she made the right decision being close to her family and friends.
The source claims that ‘It doesn’t seem to bother her that she isn’t with Tristan in Cleveland. She appears to know what she wants truly in her life right now. And it definitely does not seem like she wants to be with Tristan.’
A previous insider report by the same outlet also shared that while Khloe is yet to dump Tristan she ‘has not decided yet what she wants to do about their relationship.’
‘Khloe really feels like a single mom now that Tristan is gone so much which has been challenging. She’s toying with the idea of spending more time there. She just likes to be close to her family who is here in LA,’ another source shared with HollywoodLife.

Type 2 inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin-4 (IL-4), IL-5, IL-9, and IL-13, drive the characteristic features of immunity against parasitic worms and allergens. Whether IL-9 serves an essential role in the initiation of host-protective responses is controversial, and the importance of IL-9- versus IL-4-producing CD4⁺ effector T cells in type 2 immunity is incompletely defined. Herein, we generated IL-9-deficient and IL-9-fluorescent reporter mice that demonstrated an essential role for this cytokine in the early type 2 immunity against Nippostrongylus brasiliensis. Whereas T helper 9 (Th9) cells and type 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) were major sources of infection-induced IL-9 production, the adoptive transfer of Th9 cells, but not Th2 cells, caused rapid worm expulsion, marked basophilia, and increased mast cell numbers in Rag2-deficient hosts. Taken together, our data show a critical and nonredundant role for Th9 cells and IL-9 in host-protective type 2 immunity against parasitic worm infection.

One of the most prominent phenomena in contemporary history is the endurance of the Jewish people and the existence of the State of Israel. Fewer peoples have been persecuted as the Jewish people have. Only a generation ago, when the same people who gave us Goethe, Beethoven, and the great theologians of the Reformation, also sought the total annihilation of the Jewish people by massacring six million European Jews. Although Egyptians, Babylonians, Greeks, Romans, Muslims, inquisitors, Russian pogroms, and Nazi Germany sought the destruction of the people of Israel, it continues to exist. What makes the people of Israel different?

First it was Matt Edmondson perfectly channelling his inner Nicki Minaj, and then television and radio presenter power couple Rickie Haywood Williams and Melvin Odoom swooped in to become the new Fresh Princes of Let's Sing and Dance for Comic Relief.
Well, that's what a Will Smith medley will do for you.
The pair were singing and dancing during tonight's first Let's Sing and Dance heat, facing some tough competition from comedian Sara Pascoe, astrologer Russell Grant and Ab Fab stars Helen Lederer and Harriet Thorpe.
But, if anything will get you attention in a star-studded performance show, it's a mash-up of some of Will Smith's greatest hits, including 'Men In Black', 'Boom! Shake the Room' and, of course, 'Fresh Prince of Bel Air'.
And hey, it worked too as the duo's mash-up helped secure their victory in tonight's heat by topping the public vote during tonight's competition (March 4), sending them straight through the grand finale.
So it's not so surprising that the viewers tweeting along at home were completely loving the pair's performance too:
Ricky and Melvin best so far by a mile - highly entertaining #LetsSingAndDance- Caroline Hills (@CazG1) March 4, 2017
YES Ricky and Melvin!!!!!- Emma🦄 (@Strictly_Emma) March 4, 2017
Tonight's public vote also place Matt Edmondson and Sara Pascoe at the top of the leaderboard, leaving it to the judges to choose who could go through to the final.
Despite Matt's incredible Minaj makeover, ultimately it was Sara and her swinging performance of Sia's 'Chandelier' that saw her join Rickie and Melvin for another sing and dance session in the final.
Let's Sing and Dance for Comic Relief continues next week, with performances from Boys Allowed, former EastEnders star Danny Boy Hatchard, the casts of Holby City and Casualty, James & Ola Jordan and The Chasers.
Claudia Winkleman, Citizen Khan and Russell Kane will be the famous faces passing judgement.
Let's Sing and Dance for Comic Relief airs on BBC One.

As part of the validation of any statistical model, it is a good statistical practice to quantify the prediction accuracy and the amount of prognostic information represented by the model; this includes gene expression signatures derived from high-dimensional microarray data. Several approaches exist for right-censored survival data measuring the gain in prognostic information compared with established clinical parameters or biomarkers in terms of explained variation or explained randomness. They are either model-based or use estimates of prediction accuracy.
As these measures differ in their underlying mechanisms, they vary in their interpretation, assumptions and properties, in particular in how they deal with the presence of censoring. It remains unclear, under what conditions and to what extent they are comparable. We present a comparison of several common measures and illustrate their behaviour in high-dimensional situations in simulation examples as well as in applications to real gene expression microarray data sets. An overview of available software implementations in R is given. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Sirakov S Ltd. produces and installing heaters, heating elements and heating systems in many different areas of public policy, which in most cases, are municipal or state property. Not in a bit percentage of cases, they are private property and a public impacted.
In the dynamic conditions of infrastructure development and improvements in public places frequented by many people every day, the owners of these buildings invested in the implementation of heaters in these places.
For example, in Sofia and other major cities within Bulgaria, mass heaters apply for restoration and construction of underpasses and overpasses. Heaters there are applied in 98% of cases under the stairs that were built as entrances and exits of these underpasses. This type of heaters are the type of flexible heaters and make 3-5 layers parallel along each step. Activation of these heaters is done in several ways. One option is to permanently turn on the heaters in reaching a temperature or temperature range. Alternatively, a mechanical turn the heater on demand, by the head of the subway or given by the central service center, if a city has provided one for subways and overpasses. Also rain covers on the subways, often have an installed heating system for melting and runoff of snow and ice and prevent the loading of these facilities where the daily march hundreds and even thousands of people.
Highly developed in the European Union and the United States, Canada and Australia is building heating systems, by embedding a heater in the roads and road facilities. In the construction of roads under asphalt or made quartz surfaces for specific tube chute, which is most often applied and installed pipe heaters, but not exclusively, used for removing snow, ice, even getting wet road surfaces. This in itself leads to prevent this, thousands of people daily to become the victim of an accident.
Besides the utility on protecting human health heaters have a positive impact on the costs of property owners. This is because in most cases the power of this type of heaters used priority sunlight that is collected by solar cells installed in curbs, guardrails, lane markings, barriers and sheds on subways, and many other prominent and not so prominent places there, but have ample supply of that necessary to power heaters, electricity.
Heaters Sirakov S Ltd. company are used in many other public places and places of public utility. This helps our company through high quality of our heaters, to establish its brand, not just bits and the private sector but also in the public sector.

Sowders Joins Hoosier Energy
The former director of business development for Bedford-based Radius Indiana has joined Bloomington-based Hoosier Energy. Jeremy Sowders is the generation and transmission electric power cooperative’s new economic development coordinator.
Hoosier Energy says Sowders will assist the group’s 18 distribution cooperatives in central and southern Indiana and southeastern Illinois with business retention, expansion and attraction projects. In his previous job, Sowders developed and led a business recruitment program for Radius’ eight-county region in south central Indiana.
"Electric cooperatives are committed to the communities they serve," said Sowders. "I look forward to working with our member cooperatives in our joint economic development efforts to identify and promote opportunities for growth."
Sowders previously served as a senior associate at the International Economic Development Council in Washington D.C. and vice president of business development for the Bloomington Economic Development Corp., where he helped create the Bloomington Technology Partnership.
"Retaining and attracting businesses to the region are vital for the economic health of our communities," said Harold Gutzwiller, manager of member and key accounts for Hoosier Energy. "Jeremy’s broad experience in economic development and deep commitment to the communities he serves will be an invaluable asset for our member electric cooperatives."


LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Black Dog Ride thanks
I am writing to thank both the Daily Mercury and the community of the Mackay region for their support for the Black Dog Rides.
In the last six years, the ride has been raising awareness of depression and suicide prevention, and raising funds for Lifeline and Mental Health First Aid Australia. Due to its success, Mental Health First Aid USA invited the Black Dog Ride to run a ride in the USA with the intention of adopting it as part of their fund raising strategies.
MHFA USA plans to use funds raised through this event to provide mental health first aid skills to military veterans and first responders, including police, fire and ambulance officers. These groups have been identified as the most at risk in terms of depression and suicide.
I was privileged to be one of 65 Australians, including 45 riders and 20 pillion riders, to spend 21 days riding 7000 kilometres from New York to Los Angeles to promote the ride.
Along the way we attended many events organised by MHFA USA, and received a warm welcome from police, fire and ambulance squads and groups of military veteran motor cycle riders. This included some memorable occasions such as police and military veteran motor cycle escorts through New York and Los Angeles.
While there were many highlights on the trip, there was a major tragedy, widely reported in the Australian media, when two of our riders, Steve and Barbara Thomas, were involved in a freak accident on September 25 in Colorado when their motor bike was struck by a large bush turkey.
Barbara sadly died at the scene, while Steve was airlifted to hospital, where he spent four weeks in hospital, including three days in intensive care.
After much discussion amongst the riders, and with the blessing and encouragement of Barbara and Steve's families, all the riders completed the journey to Los Angeles.
I am pleased to say that Steve is now back in WA, where he remains in hospital, receiving rehabilitation for his injuries. Barbara's funeral will be held in WA on November 30, and Black Dog Riders who can will attend to represent the group.
I'd like to thank the Daily Mercury for their support with the Black Dog Ride initiative. They have consistently covered local events in Mackay, in addition to the national rides such as the Around Australia Ride which I also took part in last year.
Staff including Emily Smith, Jon Ortlieb, Lucy Martin and Troy Kippen have provided excellent and ongoing coverage of the Black Dog Ride, in addition to other initiatives including the Run for MI Life events. This coverage has consistently supported these and similar community events to engage the community and raise awareness of depression and suicide prevention, two major issues in the Mackay region.
In addition, I'd like to thank the people of the community of the Mackay region, which has also been very supportive.
In response to Emily Smith's article on the Across America Ride (DM October 17), a number of people contacted me to offer their condolences and enquire about the health of Steve Thomas since the ride. It is both comforting and reassuring to know that the ride has the support of so many people in the community.
Mental illness is just that, an illness, not a weakness, and can be treated like any other injury, and I look forward to the Black Dog Ride making an ongoing contribution to supporting initiatives to raise awareness of depression and suicide prevention in the community.
Thank you again to the Daily Mercury and the Mackay community for your support for the Black Dog Ride.
Black Dog Rider and Coordinator, Mackay 1 Day Black Dog Ride.

In the near future a 1,200-pound, antlered, hairy beast may be the rallying point for Dartmouth athletic teams. A recent survey by the Student Assembly found that nearly a third of Dartmouth students would like the moose to be the College's official mascot, making the moose the clear front runner in the Assembly's mascot search.
The Assembly received nearly 700 suggestions for a new mascot via a Blitzmail survey conducted for that purpose. The moose led the way with 28 percent of the vote. Behind the moose was the Dartmouth Indian which received 19 percent of the vote.
Members will not take the controversial Indian symbol into consideration despite the sizable amount of votes it received.
"The reasons were made pretty clear when we had our week-long series of discussions about the Indian as a symbol of Dartmouth," said Anand. He emphasized that the Assembly would take all other student suggestions into consideration.
This year's campaign for recognition won't be a first for the moose. In 1997 a campus group called the Big Green Backers tried to conduct a search for a campus mascot. When the Backers unveiled their suggestion -- a mascot which had also won campus wide support in a survey -- it was met with a lukewarm reception.
Things were looking up for the moose a year later when the moose was moved to a pseudo-official status as "official fan entertainment" of the Dartmouth department of athletics. Yet the moose did not have strong support in all sectors of the College, including then Director of Athletics Richard Jaeger, and was removed during the 2000 season.
Other survey mascot suggestions such as the Mountaineers, Dragons, Timberwolves, Eagles, Bears and Pine Trees received a small number of votes.
Student Life Committee Chair Amit Anand '03 -- a leader of the search for the new mascot -- attributed the low number of votes for these other mascots to the fact that the moose has been an unofficial symbol of the College for a long time. He said that as the other ideas are released, the other mascot ideas may gain strength.
Over the summer, artists will create icons of potential mascots to enable students to "visualize" what the new mascots will look like, Anand said.
Anand said that if the moose remains popular, artists make be asked to create several different renditions of the moose and then students could choose which one they liked best.
Once the icons have been created, students will vote on which mascots they feel best represents Dartmouth, at which point the top mascot choices will be presented to alumni, the department of athletics and then finally to the Board of Trustees, the only body that can elect an official mascot for Dartmouth.
Anand said gaining the support of the Trustees may be difficult, because while the Indian was an emblem of Dartmouth for many years, it was never officially recognized by the Trustees as an official mascot.
The Assembly has also started a trial-run of its memorabilia exchange program where Dartmouth alumni and students can exchange Dartmouth Indian apparel and accessories for new Dartmouth gear.
Thus far the Assembly has received requests for "a handful" of exchanges, Anand said. Members expect real demand for exchanges to begin once the College has apparel with a new, official mascot on it, he said.

Gordon Brown’s wife Sarah has made an unscheduled appearance on the platform at the Labour Party conference - introducing her husband on stage, as nobody else could be found who wanted to admit they knew him.
The prime minister’s wife has generally kept a low profile up to now, as any self-respecting person would under the circumstances. However, after ten minutes passed in embarrassed silence at the conference as the PM waited in the wings to be announced, she was heard to look upwards to heaven and mutter something under her breath before stamping up to the podium, grabbing the microphone and saying, “Since none of you gutless bastards wants the job, here’s my husband the prime minister, talking crap as usual. Clap if you want to, but don’t sit there yawning – Miliband; remember, you could have had a leadership contest last year if you weren’t all such a faceless bunch of non-entities.”
A glowering Mr Brown then slouched onto the stage and - in a keynote speech written by his new best friend JK Rowling - told an emptying hall about a strange fantasy world in which, after many trials and tribulations,

Pain Management Using Cold and Heat
When used appropriately If used properly, a combination of heat and cold therapies can provide relief for up to 5 days. This therapy is particularly effective for overuse injuries and tears to muscles. The cold therapy helps reduce inflammation and pain through dilatation blood vessels. It improves blood flow to the area injured. It also helps with joint pain that is chronic. The most appealing thing is that both forms of therapy can be used in conjunction!
Inflammation is lessened
In comparison to heat therapy, cold therapy lessens inflammation and blood flow to the affected area. The cold therapy reduces swelling and inflammation, while the heat therapy improves blood flow and draws in more nutrients. Because of its calming effects on joints heating therapy is particularly efficient in pain management. Which one of the therapies should you choose to relieve your discomfort? Here are some suggestions. Take a look at our helpful chart. Let’s examine how heat and cold therapy interact.
Ice therapy can be extremely efficient in reducing inflammation and swelling. It also creates the sensation of numbness and reduces pain signals to the brain. There are numerous effective cold therapy options, including cold baths, homemade packs, and chemical cold packs. You should follow the same guidelines as heat therapy and limit exposure to cold. Don’t leave the ice pack on the skin for more than 20 minutes as this can result in the skin to burn and cause hives.
Although cold therapy can reduce swelling, there are certain limitations. This treatment should not be used on people who have suffered from chronic injuries. Additionally, cold therapy should not be applied on wounds that are open and is not recommended for individuals suffering from neuropathic and circulatory disorders. Additionally, those suffering from infections must consult their physician prior to applying this therapy. Cold therapy should be applied on the affected areas only in the beginning stages of the pain.
Doctors suggest that you apply ice to lessen swelling and then apply heat to relieve pain. Heat therapy improves blood flow and warms muscles prior to exercise. Cold therapy on the other hand can slow blood flow and decreases swelling and pain. For the most effective relief, patients should cover the affected area in a thin towel. For the best results cold therapy must be applied for at least 15 minutes at least once a day.
It’s dependent on the type and extent of the injury which treatment is more effective in alleviating pain. It is usually the best solution for pain that is acute, such as a muscle strain, and cold therapy is advised when pain is chronic, like a long-standing joint pain. There isn’t a exact and definite rule for which is more efficient. Cold therapy is beneficial to many people who suffer from joint pain.
The practice of cold therapy, also known as cryotherapy is used to ease pain caused by inflammation and swelling. It reduces the damage to tissues by inhibiting nerve activity. Particularly, it numbs muscles that are in pain and reduces nerve activity. It also reduces inflammation and swelling by decreasing nerve activity. Cold therapy is not recommended for everyone, particularly pregnant women and children. Because cold therapy causes the body to respond differently than heat, it is recommended for people who are experiencing severe pain from an injury.
When it is used for many health conditions, cold therapy can help reduce pain and swelling. It reduces inflammation by constricting blood vessels in muscles, which slows down the flow of blood. It also decreases the transmission of pain signals to your brain. Cold therapy techniques include homemade ice packs as well as chemical cold packs. The use of cold therapy should be only for the recommended duration similar to heat therapy. In the event of prolonged exposure to cold, it can lead to the development of hives or ice burns.
Both cold and hot therapy have advantages, but they have negative side effects. Cold therapy is more effective for acute injuries caused by diminished blood flow. Heating therapy increases blood flow and reduces inflammation, swelling, and improves circulation. It also has a calming psychological impact on the patient, making it a good choice for pain management that is ongoing. Cold therapy isn’t as effective in long-term pain management.

The annual election period for Medicare Advantage starts this year on October 15th and ends December 7th. During this period anyone who is enrolled in Medicare may enroll for the first time in a Medicare Advantage Plan; or change from one Medicare Advantage Plan to another; or return to Original Medicare. This year there will be many people leaving Medicare Advantage and picking up a Medicare Supplemental insurance plan. Though Medicare Advantage can definitely be an asset in certain situations there is a reason more people chose Medicare Supplemental insurance over Medicare Advantage. When you read some of the disadvantages of Medicare Advantage you will see why this trend will continue.
Disadvantages of Medicare Advantage
- Typically the list of doctors and hospitals you can use are restricted. This can be particularly problematic if you are want to visit a specialist or say a cancer treatment center that is not on the list.
- If you do choose to go to a doctor outside your network, you will no longer have Medicare Parts A and B to fall back on, and will be responsible for 100% of all costs.
- Most Medicare Advantage plans require you to pay a co-pay each time you see a doctor, receive medical treatment, or visit a hospital.
- The government is reducing funding for Medicare Advantage, causing many plans to pull out of the marketplace or raise their premiums.

Jenicek collected a silver medal in senior competition while Tak, competing for Brampton’s Tora Judo Club earned a bronze in the under-17 division.
For Jenicek this is her first year in the senior division. In the -57 kilograms category at the nationals she lost just one match, to 24-year-old Joliane Melancon, who is on the Canadian Olympic team. After the meet Jenicek left for Montreal where she is training with the Canadian judo team through the summer, with the only break coming during the Olympics.
In September she has been selected for the Canadian team that will be competing at the European Cup in Tampere, Finland and then the following weekend go to the Green Hill World Cup in Rome.
This has been quite a season for Jenicek. She started it off in May, finishing fifth at the PJC World Cup in Miami. That was followed by a third at the US Open in Miami and then a fifth at the PJC World Cup San Salvador. Those three meets came within an eight-day period.
Jenicek then went to England for five weeks of training at the University of Bath with the British judo team. While in Europe she joined the Canadian judo team for a couple of meets where she managed a seventh at the European Cup in Celje, Slovenia and a ninth in the European Cup in Prague.
Tak earned a bronze for Tora as he lost his semifinal in the -46 kgs. category to Ruslan Skykhly from the Taifu Judo Club in Concord. Shykly was the gold-medal winner.
Tora athletes Gabriel Sepahi and Shannon Tran were both fifth in their categories. Mark Wilson of Tora was unfortunately disqualified as he was caught in traffic on the way to the event and did not make the starting time.
Several other athletes were also disqualified for the same reason. Around 700 athletes from across Canada attended the meet.

Inheritance tax has been described as ‘Voluntary’ for the very wealthy (because they can afford to give wealth away during their lifetimes), but a serious problem for the merely comfortable (because they need to keep personal wealth to fund their retirement).
Large numbers of ‘comfortable’ people have found that historical increases in property values mean that their estates will be a liable for IHT when they die.
IHT is currently payable where a personals taxable estate is in excess of £325,000. Therefore, if you own your own house and have some savings, life assurance policies or other assets, your estate could be liable.
When you die, tax will be payable on the combined value of your death estate and any gifts made in the preceding seven years which have not qualified for one or other of the lifetime gift reliefs.

.......and now the bad news. House prices are going to crumble in the UK.
After being artificially supported through the last year of Labours term, free market forces are about to be unleashed. Already unemployment jumped 58k this week to a 16 year high at 2.51m, and agressive cuts in the public sector are all but certain. Credit is going to tighten as banks become less willing to lend as a result of less cash being available as taxes rise and imminent bank levies about to be unleashed, restricting mortgage appetite and availability.
Reposessions have already risen in Q1 2010 to 9800, and are heading one way.... The bubble was never allowed to be deflated properly due to an interfering government......... it is now. At some point there will be an inflation storm, following the trillions that have been printed by Central Banks but that comes later. First............... the pain.
