Community Service for Convicts:- A rehabilitation strategy that aims to reintegrate people into society while holding them accountable for their misdeeds is community service for prisoners, which covers a wide range of transgressions. With an emphasis on personal development, accountability, and societal well-being, this program provides an alternative to jail.
Offenders have the chance to atone for their wrongdoing by positively impacting their communities by performing meaningful community service. It encourages social reintegration, develops empathy, and instills a feeling of accountability.
This helps people end the cycle of crime by acting as a strong deterrent to further criminal activity.
Programs for community service come in a broad variety, from cleaning public areas and mentoring young people in danger to taking part in environmental conservation efforts and skill-development projects.
These programs not only help the community by addressing needs, but they also provide prisoners an opportunity to learn new skills and develop a feeling of self-worth. In general, community service for convicted criminals is an approach to restorative justice that aims to change lives, lower recidivism, and build safer, more cohesive communities.
What is Community Service? (Community Service for Convicts)
Community service refers to volunteer, unpaid tasks that people or organizations do out to serve their neighborhoods or meet social needs. It entails giving your time, energy, and talents without expecting payment to promote various causes, organizations, or initiatives.
Volunteering at local charities, taking part in neighborhood clean-up campaigns, mentoring young people, planning fundraisers, or helping with disaster relief are just a few examples of the various ways one might engage in community service.
Promoting social responsibility, civic involvement, and healthy community development are the main objectives of community service. It encourages cooperation and empathy among people, aids in resolving urgent challenges facing the society, and builds the social fabric.
The benefits of community service include a sense of fulfillment, personal development, and a better sense of belonging for both volunteers and the communities they serve.
Overall, performing community service helps people and civilizations handle problems, fortify links among neighbors, and have a good influence on the globe.
Which categories of offenders receive community service sentences?
Depending on a number of variables, including the jurisdiction, the seriousness of the offense, the criminal justice system’s regulations, and the specifics of the case, different sorts of offenders may be sentenced to community service for different crimes.
Community service, on the other hand, is frequently taken into account for offenders who have committed non-violent or relatively minor offenses, particularly if it is their first violation. Community service is frequently used as a punishment or as an alternative to jail for the following common offenses:
- Property Crimes: Community service may be required as a penalty for offenses like shoplifting, vandalism, or small-time theft.
- Drug Offenses: Community service may be provided as an alternative to jail to those accused of possessing minor amounts of narcotics, especially for personal use.
- Traffic Infractions: As part of the punishment for some traffic violations, such as driving while intoxicated (DUI) or reckless driving, community service may be required.
- Juvenile Offenses: Rather than imprisoning young offenders, community service is frequently employed to rehabilitate and educate them.
- Non-violent White-Collar Crimes: As part of a plea bargain or sentencing, community service may be required for offenses including embezzlement, fraud, or petty financial crimes.
- It is crucial to note that judges take into account a variety of variables when determining the proper sentencing for an offender, and that the availability and scope of community service as a punishment might differ greatly by jurisdiction.
For those who have committed non-violent or minor offenses, community service acts as a useful rehabilitative tool within the criminal justice system, providing an option to jail.
While attending to urgent communal needs, it encourages personal development, accountability, and responsibility. Offenders can make apologies and develop crucial life skills by participating in meaningful volunteer activity.
In addition, community service promotes civic responsibility and lowers recidivism, which both help to make society safer and more united. The goals of this strategy are to create a more equitable and compassionate society by highlighting the value of second chances and the transformational power of people. It is consistent with the ideals of restorative justice.

YAKIMA, Wash. - Yakima Valley College and WSU Tri-cities are working to educate their students on the importance of voting this election season. Both schools have people in place to answer questions and are providing easy ways to register.
Yakima Valley College has been setting up information booths at all student events since fall quarter started. Student government also hung-up posters with QR codes students can scan to register to vote.
Director of Community Relations Dustin Wunderlich said YVC wants to make sure its students know how the process works.
"Yakima Valley College values its role in building the future of Yakima valley and one of the most important ways for people to do that is to vote," Wunderlich said.
Running start student at YVC Sonia Ortiz said she registered to vote for the first time this election and the information tables were really helpful.
"Something that I learned is that it's not a difficult process to do," Ortiz said. "It is just your voice waiting to be heard and having someone to help you follow through with those steps is something that was really helpful."
WSU Tri-cities is helping educate its students through election events. Since the beginning of fall quarter, they've held several events aimed at showing students how the voting process works. During their most recent event, two candidates for judge positions visited their school so student could listen to their platforms.
Director of Student Engagement at WSU Tri-cities Ian Jamieson said they also have an election hub where students can ask questions.
"We are there as a resource but not to advocate for any individuals and so its pointing them to all the resources," Jamieson said. "It's encouraging them to look up the voting booklet for what candidates submitted."
In the spirit of voting accessibility, the school also installed a ballot drop box on campus about four years ago. Student Isaac Marroquin said having that on campus is very helpful.
"As a student, time is everything," Marroquin said. "Being able to have that on our campus, in such an accessible spot, makes it easier for me as well as the support if I have questions, I know that I can find someone."
WSU Tri-cities will host an election hub on November 8 to help students vote. It is still unknown if YVC will host an event on election day.

Equality and religious freedom are our bedrock values. They are enshrined in our Constitution and are not mere formalities to be discarded in difficult times. Yet recently, we have seen a politics of fear used to justify discrimination against Muslims. This has resulted in unwarranted surveillance, unlawful profiling, and exclusionary immigration policies targeting people based on their faith, nationality, or national origin.
Such discriminatory policies have been accompanied by a worrying rise in hateful rhetoric, which has severe consequences. At a time when hate crimes are down overall, they are up against American Muslims.
The ACLU works to fight anti-Muslim discrimination on a number of fronts. Included among our top priorities are fighting unconstitutional surveillance programs that entrench discrimination without keeping us safe; opposing discriminatory immigration policies that target refugees and travelers with any tie to the Muslim world; and resisting politics of hate that target mosques and the free expression of religion.

This TV movie based on David Williams' novel 'Second Sight' is quite a plain love story, actually. What it makes the film all that more exciting, though, is the 'travel in time' factor where it cares to show that true love knows no boundaries. Not even by standard time.
The stellar tv cast, with Lindsay Wagner fresh off from 'Bionic Woman' fame and Linda Gray, sure makes up for the sometimes very cliched rom-com vibes.
Overall it's a great romantic tale and Jennie and David's love story sure does feel like true. And a great one for you to melt your heart with along some good popcorn.
Penelope is one of those 'feel good' comedies, so lighthearted that you can't help but cheering for this wacky but adorable character played by Natalie Wood. The movie had bad reviews back in 1966 but as for now I think it's save to say that is a fine looking comedy and it will surely make you laugh.

Hey, Raphael Saadiq, the ‘60s called and they want their music back. The Grammy-winning singer/producer, who has always been known for his vintage tendencies, really kicks it old-school on his new single, Love That Girl. He takes a huge step backwards in time, past the throwback styles of Amy Winehouse and Duffy, and past the early-‘90s neo-soul trend, landing somewhere among the classic sounds of the Temptations and Smokey Robinson. The track may be labeled as “fresh audio”, but Saadiq would be the first to admit that there is nothing fresh about it. While most contemporary R&B fans may not go for it, the old and the old at heart certainly will. Love That Girl will be featured on Saadiq’s upcoming album, The Way I See It (Sept. 16).

The Football Association have cast doubts over Jose Mourinho's claim that he was "hours" away from becoming England manager - but Fabio Capello is not bothered if he was.
Mourinho made his bold statement during an extensive interview with L'Equipe.
The Real Madrid boss said he would have been Steve McClaren's successor in 2007 had it not been for a last-minute change of heart.
The Portuguese, who left Chelsea in September 2007, two months before McClaren was sacked by England, explained he decided late in the day he wanted to remain in club management.
"I was hours away - I almost signed up for the England national team," said Mourinho.
"But at the last minute I began thinking, 'I am going to coach a national side, there will be one match a month and the rest of the time I will be in my office or overseeing matches. And then to have to wait until the summer to compete in a European Championship or a World Cup?' No, it wasn't for me.
"So at the last moment I pulled back, preferring to wait for the right job to come along, a good club, a challenge that could motivate me. That was Inter."
The FA's response was swift.
"Fabio was our first choice for England manager," said a spokesman.
"We have made that clear from the outset."
Mourinho was linked with the England job immediately after the Three Lions crashed out of Euro 2008 in qualifying.
He would undoubtedly have been high on the FA's wish-list and conversations did take place, although there were always reservations about whether he would commit to the role, even with a £6million-a-year salary attached.
The former Chelsea boss put an end to his candidacy on December 11, declaring: "After deep and serious thinking, I decided to exclude myself from being England manager."
Three days later, Capello was unveiled.
But if there was a sense of the Italian being second choice, he is clearly not troubled by it.
"It does not matter to me," he said.
"Every time a club or a different national team decides to choose a manager, they decide to speak with a lot of managers.
"It's normal. It's not different."
Indeed, there were claims Capello was approached to replace Sven-Goran Eriksson in 2006, only to turn the FA down.
"I don't like to speak about my relationship with the clubs, with other people," said Capello.
"These are my personal secrets. I will never tell you about what really happened in my career. It's serious."

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – What do Mike Piazza and classical music have in common? If you’re composer Robert Paterson, everything.
WCBS 880’s Peter Haskell On The Story
He has written five biographical songs about the former New York Mets catcher.
“It’s no fun getting beat up. My knees are killing me,” are the lyrics to one.
“Sometimes I think the only thing that keeps me going is coffee and Advil,” goes another one.
“But you know it’s about him, but romanticized,” Paterson told WCBS 880 reporter Peter Haskell. “We wanted a mix of kind of earnest reflection and also humor.”
He’s hoping to gain some new classical music fans.
“Maybe they would actually end up liking it for what it is if they had fun,” said Paterson.
The songs were actually written while Piazza was still playing, but will be performed at the Galapagos Art Space at 16 Main Street in Brooklyn tonight at 7.
Why Mike Piazza though? The lyricist had a crush on him.
What’s your favorite Mike Piazza moment? Share it in the comments section below!

You might think that those white flakes falling on your shoulders are dandruff, but instead it could be a symptom of a dry scalp! Dry scalp results to scalp peeling which can be very irritating and sometimes disruptive to your daily life.
Scalp peeling can be a result of few things such as, dermatitis, dandruff (oily scalp) or psoriasis. Often times when our scalp is itchy, dandruff is often present causing irritation and red scalp.
In this blogpost, we will be discussing the causes, how to treat them and when you should visit a doctor should the condition gets worse.
There are two common types of dermatitis that causes dry, itchy skin: contact dermatitis and seborrheic dermatitis. Dermatitis is a general term that describes dry, itchy skin.
Contact dermatitis is a red and itchy rash that is caused by contact with an allergen or with a substance that irritates it. Often time, it could be an ingredient that you're allergic to (e.g fragrances, latex, detergents etc).
Some symptoms include:
- Cracking Skin
- Blisters that may have crusts and scales
- Burning Skin
It's quite simple to point out seborrheic dermatitis; it appears as greasy, red patches, the rashes develops into yellow or white scales that often flake. They cause scaly patches and red skin and can be mainly seen on the scalp, eyebrows, beard area and smile lines on the face.
The proper way to treat contact dermatitis is to avoid the irritant that can trigger it. On the other hand, to treat seborrheic dermatitis, you may need to use an anti-dandruff shampoo. Topical steroids and anti-fungal cream can also be helpful.
Dandruff is a common skin problem. Similar to seborrheic dermatitis, both affect oily regions of the body which includes the scalp. Unlike dermatitis, dandruff is only found on the scalp.
There are many causes to dandruff, here are some of the factors:
- Irregular hair washing / shampooing habit
- Dry Scalp that can lead to small flakes on scalp
- Product build up
- Male hormones (more prevalent among males)
Contrary to popular belief, dandruff is not the result of poor hygiene or the lack of washing your hair. However, irregular hair washing can make dandruff more visible and worse. This is because frequent hair washing helps to exfoliate dead skin on your scalp.
If you're experiencing dandruff, try our Chanamu Tea Tree Shampoo for better results! Shampoos that contain tea tree oil are a good remedy for dandruff! On top of being a natural ingredient with anti-fungal properties, studies have shown that tea tree helps to treat dandruff.
Always ensure you're not allergic to the ingredient before using. Consult your doctor if you're unsure!
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory condition that produces a scaly rash. Scalp psoriasis may be mild to severe and the rashes can extend beyond the scalp to ears, neck and forehead.
Symptoms of psoriasis includes itchy rashes that appear red with thickened plaque, you may also notice white flakes along the hairline, forehead, ears or neck.
Here are some factors that triggers psoriasis:
- Genetics may play a role
- Cold, dry weather
- Environmental factos
- Skin Injury
With mild cases of psoriasis, over the counter shampoo will most likely work. Ensure that you choose moisturising and hydrating shampoo or regular, gentle shampoo. If this does not help, you will need to meet a doctor or pharmacist that can point you to the right shampoo.

Prominent ear is a problem that occures when the angles between head and ear is more than usual. Although it does not any disadvantages in terms of health, it may have negative effects on phychological aspects. People who have prominent ear, especially from 5-6 ages, may suffer lack of self-confidence, body dysmorpfic disorder, anxiety and depression. In such cases, ear surgery is the most effective solution.
Who is a good canditive for otoplasty?
The most important thing that people who want to have otoplasty should know 80-90 percent of ear development should be completed before the surgery. For this reason lower age is determinated to 4-5 years. Children under 15 years old should be given general anesthesia, while local anesthesia can be applied to individuals over 15 years old before the surgery.
How is an otoplasty performed?
Small insicions for otoplasty are generally made on the back surface of the ear. This is why insicions usually can not seen. In addition, the most commonly applied procedure in otoplasty is; shaping extra cartilage in the ear. Even it is necessary, cartilage should be completely removed and external ear is reshaped towards to back. Sutures that body can not absorbed are used while reshaped external ear is sticting to backwards. Approximately 1.5 hours after the surgery, patient should pay attention to some factors.
What should you expect after otoplasty?
Adults can get better a few hours after operation because its operated by local anesthesia. Patients under 15 years old have much longer resting time than adults because it operated by general anesthesia. However in both children and adults, the ears are bandaged after surgery. Bandages can be removed and replaced with dressings after 2-4 days. The first 6-8 weeks after the surgery, patients must be careful with sleeping positions. It is extremely important to lie back while resting, in order not to pressure to ears. It is useful to wear a soft headband both day and night for the first 2 weeks after the surgery. After that you may wear the handband just at nights.
People who want to have otoplasty should known that, every person’s physical structure is different. Therefore, the shape and structure of ears are also different from every person. For this reason, it should not be expected the same result with any people. Similarly, the operation and treatment process may be different depending on your ear structure.

Mattesque and I knew of each other before we formally met. We’re part of that dedicated group of Iceland Airwaves fans and over the years we’d see one another at various shows and even at the airport when we happened to be on the same flight to or from Reykjavik. There are dozens of people who we have this kind of strange relationship with, people we recognize on sight but have never actually spoken to. I’m sure Holly and I are part of other people’s recognition circles as well, probably even a few who we personally wouldn’t know on sight. Fortunately a few years back at Bíó Paradís he walked up and said hi, and we all quickly became fast friends. Hopefully we’ll catch up at Airwaves again this year.
Mattesque makes his living with sound. Have you ever wondered where the music and non-music sounds in video games come from? They come from guys like Mattesque, making noise on whatever comes their way, funneling it through various pedals and electro-gizmos in the never-ending quest to make something unique and interesting. He also makes non-gaming music, which you can check out on his Bandcamp page HERE.
Album is a collection of nine ambient and experimental tracks Mattesque wrote in 2018. I’ve been playing it quite a bit lately in various environments - at home, on airplanes, in coffee shops, on my commute - and everywhere I listen it sounds a bit different, interacting with the environment in different ways, a given track fading into the background in a noisy Starbucks but capturing all my attention during an early morning drive to work. If there’s an underlying thread that connects these tracks, to me that would be “introspection”. Of course, that might just be me imparting my psyche onto Mattesque’s art. But isn’t that part of the experience of art? There is an aloneness to the sound. Not lonely… but simply alone. And you can be alone inside a crowded Starbucks in a way that’s not much different than if you were on the dark side of the moon.
Every time I listen to Album it’s the third song, “Long Facts”, that hits me in the face like an unexpected slap. There’s a sharp suddenness to the way it follows the first two tracks, the electronics cold as ice, bringing a precision that makes it impossible to ignore. “In Deep Waves” continues the futuristic feel of “Long Facts” but without the frigidity, moving us into an old lava tube underground where you can start to feel some of the heat of the earth’s core, the pulsing beat like the heartbeat of the planet. I could listen to this 10 minute segment of Album over and over again.
There are some dark turns to Album, places where the mood becomes more sinister. “First Wave Release” transmits an implied danger, not overtly, but more the sense of being in a situation that could result in trouble. It has an underwater feel, like snorkeling and ending up in a dark patch of water in a place where you know there are things that could sting you (or worse) if you’re not careful. It’s not a Great White circling you, but more of a heightened sense of being outside your native environment and in a place where you have minimal control.
“Dark Bit Faders” takes things in an industrial direction. We’re not talking IDM here, but true industrial, the low end beat overlaid with a very metallic, higher pitched one. It’s an industrial sound like one would expect to find inside a factory, the widgets being pounded out by the machinery one after another after another, an endless cycle of production only limited by the need to have a human dump the raw materials into the gaping maw as the assembly line is fed, it’s appetite endless, only stopping when there is nothing left to consume.
I thought about reaching out Mattesque and asking a few questions about his perceptions about Album, but the more I thought about it the more I was reminded of the scene in Midnight In the Garden of Good and Evil when John Cusack’s character John Kelso asks Jim Williams if he has x-rayed a painting to see the original painting underneath.
Cusack: How will you know what it’s obscuring?
Jim Williams: I rather enjoy not knowing.
I rather enjoy not knowing too. There’s a lot to like on Album. If your tastes run toward dark ambient, you’ll likely find some things to pull into a loving dark embrace. You can listen to the entire thing on Mattesque’s Bandcamp page as well as purchase your own download, so if you like it, buy it. The money isn’t going to some corporate mega-label so they can trickle a few pennies back to the performer, it’s about supporting the artist directly.

Key requirement for regulatory T cell function discovered
- September 22, 2016
- Ludwig Cancer Research
- A key requirement for the function of regulatory T cells—immune cells that play a critical role in many biological processes, from suppressing inflammation and deadly autoimmunity to helping tumors evade immune attack—is now better understood thanks to new research. The findings also unravel the complex role these cells can play in the genesis and progression of certain gastrointestinal cancers.
A Ludwig Cancer Research study published online September 5th in Nature Immunology illuminates a key requirement for the function of regulatory T cells -- immune cells that play a critical role in many biological processes, from suppressing inflammation and deadly autoimmunity to helping tumors evade immune attack. The findings also unravel the complex role these cells can play in the genesis and progression of certain gastrointestinal cancers.
Researchers led by Alexander Rudensky, director of the Ludwig Center at Memorial Sloan Kettering, applied elegant genetic techniques in mouse models to determine that the receptor for an immune factor known as interleukin-2 (IL-2) is required for the function of regulatory T cells and explored the role it plays in their activity. "Our results have implications for cancer immunotherapy and the treatment of a number of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases," says Rudensky.
Regulatory T cells (Treg cells) suppress the activity of effector T cells, which include cytotoxic T cells that kill infected and cancerous cells and the helper T cells that orchestrate those and other immune responses.
Rudensky and his colleagues and others have previously shown that the generation and maintenance of Treg cells is dependent on the IL-2 receptor (IL-2R). But, so far, researchers have not been able to determine why the receptor is required for their suppressive function. Efforts to delete IL2R genes in mice to answer this question have failed because eliminating IL2R results in a lethal inability to make Treg cells.
To get around this problem, Rudensky and his colleagues genetically engineered mice in a manner that allowed them to develop Treg cells yet permitted the researchers to tease apart the distinct roles played by IL-2R signaling and the IL-2R itself in Treg function.
Treg cells, they found, are absolutely dependent on IL-2R for their function. The real surprise, however, lies in the details of that dependency. While IL-2R signaling is both required and sufficient for Treg suppression of helper T cells, the receptor protein itself appears to play an additional and necessary role in the suppression of cytotoxic T cell activity.
"We found that it's not only signaling through the IL-2 receptor that's required for their control of cytotoxic T cells, but also the receptor's ability to capture IL-2 and deprive cytotoxic T cells of access to this interleukin, which these cells need as well," says Rudensky.
Chronic inflammation is a key trigger of gastrointestinal (GI) cancer and effector T cells play a key role in promoting such inflammation. As part of this study, the researchers examined how manipulating IL-2R signaling in Treg cells influenced the disease in mice that are prone to cancer in the small intestine.
"Our findings suggest that regulatory T cells have a dual role in inflammation-associated GI cancers, limiting precancerous lesions in the early stages but promoting cancerous growths in later stages of the disease," says Rudensky.
The finding opens a window into the role a robust Treg cell population can play in preventing GI cancer. The practical application of such studies is one focus of a $10 million program launched by Ludwig and the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation to investigate dietary interventions for the prevention of GI malignancies.
The current findings also have implications for immunotherapy for GI cancers. "Treg cells limit activation of cytotoxic T cells, which target tumor cells," says Rudensky. "So one way of releasing them from Treg-mediated suppression would be to provide them with interleukin 2 in a targeted manner."
Conversely, a similarly targeted activation of Tregs could prove very useful to treat a range of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, type 2 diabetes and inflammatory bowel disease. Rudensky and his colleagues plan to investigate how such targeted delivery or activation of IL-2R signaling might be achieved.

“You are an open letter about Christ which we ourselves have written, not with pen and ink but with the Spirit of the living God. Our message has been engraved not in stone, but in living men and women.” (II Corinthians 3: 2-3, JB Phillips New Testament)
God’s Word was given to us through the Christ. This revealed Truth is known to us and it is ours to freely express. As we accept this reality of being, this saving message of Oneness with God, we are a living missive, sharing what we know by being who we truly are.
This Spirit within us, this conscious awareness of God’s presence, has made an impression upon us. It has left a mark that can’t be hidden and that only becomes more beautifully clear and more thoroughly understood as we walk the talk, live the facts with grateful joy and with the true spirit of Love.
The Truth of Life isn’t some dead belief, lost in the ages or in the pages of books. It is that reality that is seen in the lives of men and women. If we are to follow the words and works of Jesus, then this message has to be alive—it has to transcend the tombs of fear and limitation and rise up and out into Life.
This is our calling and it is our nature expressed. For the Truth isn’t a hope. It is who we are. So, let’s live this awesome reality. Let’s be that letter, an open and receptive one, with a fresh page every day to see and to be God’s living word of Love.

I wrote about Israel’s controversial entry, “Push the Button”, last month but today I came across some lighter fare. “Dancing Lasha Tumbai” is the Ukraine’s entry — a high-energy dance number (with accordion, of course) sung by a cross-dressing guy who calls himself Verka Serduchka. He reminded me of San Francisco’s accordion-playing drag queen, Kielbasia, but if she had stayed in the old country and become a pop diva.

Little Dave and Big Love features a set of 11 original tunes with plenty of snarling
guitar and good vocals. Styles include Texas shuffles, funk and straight blues, and the general tone is very upbeat, with
only one slower soul/r&b type song and one straight blues. The predominant style is hard blues and blues-rock, but the feeling never ventures
into the realm of heavy blues or straight rock. Dave plays and sings lead, and is backed by a well balanced band of rhythm guitar, bass and drums.
But Dave's guitar leads are the highlight of this CD. His tone is nasty and biting, due in part probably to his preference of using a quarter for a pick.
The opening funk/blues-rock cut, "Standing Up On My Own", immediately sets the stage and gets the listener's attention
with a guitar intro punctuated with a searing, sustained note of high intensity. "You Took My Baby" is an up tempo blues-rocker.
Then things slow down a bit for the next couple songs. One of the mellower songs on the disc, "After Hours Bar" is a moderate shuffle
featuring a little light slide work. Following that is the melancholy "I'm Having It So Hard"
After a couple more blues-rock/funk tunes comes "Instrumental #7", an excellent, rowdy guitar romp smoothered with SRV overtones.
A couple of cuts later comes the obligitory slow blues grind, "I Don't Care What Nobody Say", and this is a good one on which Dave plays with considerable
intensity and passion. The shufflin' "Mississippi Boy" closes things out on an upbeat note.
This is definitely a CD for blues guitar fans. The tone is nasty and biting and the style aggressive. Combine the excellent guitar
work with respectable vocals, above average songwriting, and a good backing band, and you have a very enjoyable CD.


Republicans and Democrats warned President Bush yesterday that his next pick for the Supreme Court will face much tougher scrutiny in the Senate, as Judiciary Chairman Arlen Specter lobbied the White House to delay the nomination until next year to defuse tension.
But the White House pushed ahead with plans to nominate Justice Sandra Day O'Connor's successor as early as the middle of next week from a shortlist that has been expanded beyond the field of candidates examined before the nomination of John G. Roberts Jr. to be chief justice and that includes several women and minorities, according to White House and Republican officials. First lady Laura Bush and a number of Republican senators are among those lobbying the president to nominate a woman or a minority, GOP officials said.
Whatever the nominee's sex or ethnicity, a Republican in close contact with the White House said the choice would be as conservative as Roberts.
After a morning briefing with Bush and top Senate leaders, Specter (R-Pa.) said he told the president he should postpone the announcement so senators have a better idea of how Roberts would influence the Supreme Court as chief justice over the next six months. Lawmakers say they expect Roberts to be confirmed easily next week. "I believe the next nomination is going to be a great deal more contentious than the Roberts nomination," Specter told reporters. "I say that because bubbling just below the surface was a lot of frustration in the hearing that we just concluded."
But the White House rejected the idea of delaying the next selection. Instead, a top White House aide said Bush plans to announce O'Connor's replacement next week, shortly after the Senate votes on Roberts's confirmation.
Roberts, who faces a vote in the Senate Judiciary Committee today, picked up an unexpected supporter yesterday: Sen. Patrick J. Leahy (Vt.), the top Democrat on the committee and a person liberal special interests groups were counting on to lead the Roberts opposition on the floor next week. In a Senate speech, Leahy heaped more criticism than praise on Roberts, saying Bush "has opted not to seek moderate candidates" for federal courts. He said Roberts "disserved himself by following the script that he had developed while serving in the Reagan administration." Opposing Roberts would be "easier and more popular" in his Democratic-leaning state, Leahy said, but he added that "I can only take him at his word that he does not have an ideological agenda."
Ralph G. Neas, president of the liberal People for the American Way, said Leahy "made all the arguments against the confirmation of Judge Roberts, and then made a decision that contradicted his own compelling reasoning. His decision was inexplicable, and deeply disappointing."
Sen. John F. Kerry (D-Mass.), who lost the presidential election to Bush in November, emerged as the first 2008 presidential contender to come out against Roberts, as did Sens. Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.) and Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.). Former senator John Edwards (D-N.C.) joined his former running mate in opposing the nomination.
It "may turn out that he will be an outstanding chief justice, but I cannot say with confidence that I know how he will approach constitutional questions of fundamental importance," Kerry said of Roberts in a floor speech. Because nominees duck so many questions, Kerry said, the confirmation process is "increasingly sterile" and "little more than an empty shell."
With little time to spare, Roberts responded yesterday to dozens of written questions that committee members submitted after last week's hearings. But if senators were hoping for last-minute insights into how the 50-year-old appellate judge would rule on controversial issues such as abortion, the death penalty, same-sex marriage and presidential war powers, they were disappointed. Roberts's written answers, like his testimony, steered clear of specifics or accurately summarized competing legal philosophies without stating his own.
Still, Roberts's confirmation is a done deal, according to vote counters on both sides. So senators and strategists are turning their attention to Bush's next pick -- someone both sides believe has the potential to change the ideological balance of the court for years to come. While Roberts is replacing a like-minded conservative, the late William H. Rehnquist, the next nominee will be replacing O'Connor, a swing vote on the court.
One GOP official, who would speak about conversations only on the condition of anonymity, said that some groups have urged administration officials to select a nominee who would excite the party's conservative base, on the theory that no one Bush nominates will attract significant Democratic support. But others have suggested trying to continue the momentum gained from the Roberts nomination with a conservative nominee who can generate more mainstream appeal.
White House officials are keeping the shortlist of possible nominees secret, but three Republicans close to the president said it includes men and women, whites and minorities. Among the names mentioned are Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales; Edward Charles Prado and Priscilla R. Owen, both from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit; Consuelo Maria Callahan, from the 9th Circuit; Larry D. Thompson, former deputy attorney general; Maura Corrigan, a member of the Michigan Supreme Court; Alice Batchelder of the 6th Circuit; Karen Williams and J. Michael Luttig, both from the 4th Circuit; Michael McConnell, from the 10th Circuit; and Samuel A. Alito Jr. of the 3rd Circuit.
In the morning meeting, Specter warned against nominating a controversial conservative such as Owen or District appellate judge Janice Rogers Brown, according to a Democrat briefed on the meeting. In the meeting, Leahy and Senate Minority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.) offered Bush several nominees they said would win bipartisan backing, including Sonia Sotomayor of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit, according to another person briefed on the meeting.
A Republican with close ties to the White House said "it is a little bit silly" to think the White House is zeroing in on women and minorities only. This official and others said many inside the White House believe whomever Bush picks will face such strong resistance that it has had the effect of liberating the president to go with the candidate he feels most comfortable with, even if that person is a white male.
Staff writers Dan Balz and Jo Becker and research editor Lucy Shackelford contributed to this report.

Updated:WEST VIRGINIA —
A ceremony was held Wednesday to honor a sheriff’s deputy killed in the line of duty.
West Virginia law enforcement Officer Michael Todd May was remembered through the naming of an interchange on Interstate 70 in Mount Morris.
“This is a big deal for us, honoring one of our fallen officers,” said Chief Deputy Perry Palmer.
May was killed by a drunken driver two and half years ago as a police chase crossed state lines into Pennsylvania, police said.
“Michael was a fine boy, not a finer boy than him,” said family friend Wayne Schuman.

Do you want The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask to be re-made into 3D like Nintendo also did with The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time?
Personally, I do not want Nintendo to re-make it. I believe The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time was enough, and even if not that, a waste of time. Nintendo should be working on developing a new addition to the series. If someone wants to play TLOZ:MM, then they should play it on a system it's already on, in my opinion.
So, now that I'm through delivering my opinion on the matter, what are your thoughts?

The latest remarkable offering from The Monteverdi Choir and John Eliot Gardiner greets you with the scallop of Saint James: in relief on the sand-colored cover of the 35-page bound-in booklet; then on the cardboard sleeve in which the single CD with nearly 80 minutes of glorious unaccompanied choral singing comes. If you love choral polyphony, don't hesitate: buy Pilgrimage to Santiago!
In the first century after Christ, Saint James 'The Great' (that is the apostle, not the writer of the eponymous Epistle) is believed to have traveled to Spain and preached there. Following his martyrdom at the hands of Herod, his remains were taken back to Compostela in Galicia. By the eleventh century a major pilgrimage route to Santiago was established on the strength of this.
Gardiner's is not the only release representing the wonderful music from this period and phenomenon: Eduardo Paniagua directs a small team in El Camino De Santiago by Alfonso X El Sabio (Pneuma Classics 680); Anonymous 4's Miracles Of Sant'iago – Codex Calixtinus (Harmonia Mundi 907156) has only a couple of items that are also present on this Gardiner CD; and Philip Pickett and the New London Consort had a two-disc Cantigas de Santa María – Pilgrimage to Santiago (L'Oiseau-Lyre 433148-2 – nla). If you're looking for a place to start and savor the majesty and beauty of some of the music associated with the pilgrimage and which was being written at the time, this Soli Deo Gloria CD is as good as any.
The selection of music is, of course, expert. It's as representative as any 21 items can be. The names which most people will recognize, Lassus, Victoria, Palestrina and Dufay, are supplemented by glorious compositions by Clemens Non Papa (1495-1570) and from the Llibre Vermell de Montserrat and Codex Calixtinus. This is a twelfth century illuminated manuscript, an anthology compiled to offer 'background' and advice for the pilgrims. It's also a document that attests to the extent to which Spain had already become much more cosmopolitan than is often realized. Pilgrimage to Santiago celebrates the not insignificant part which the prominence of Compostela played in this. The urbanity of The Monteverdi Choir's music-making with Gardiner mirrors the urbanity of the Compostela community and shared experience. As early as the 1430s Spanish composers and musicians were traveling in turn to Rome, another important pilgrimage site of course. From there works by the likes of Lassus and Palestrina were brought back to Spain; indeed manuscripts of their music are still to be found (some badly decayed) in Cathedral libraries throughout Spain. But the cultural exchange was also with the Netherlands, France and Flanders. Hence the inclusion here of works by Dufay and Jean Mouton (who certainly deserves a disc to himself: there isn't one).
The singing is clean, majestically-paced and evocative. The Monteverdi Choir and Gardiner, of course, know all about pilgrimages, having undertaken a mighty one of their own in 2000 to perform all of Bach's church cantatas on the dates for which they were written. The music that emerged from that experience is magnificent too. But the enterprise was, shall we say, a fraught one (through no fault of Gardiner's). This single CD with music that could hardly be of greater contrast – catholic and introverted, reverent and at times ethereal – seems yet to be a serene rejoicing after that storm. Listen to the exquisite 'Nesciens mater' by Mouton, for example. Or the ecstatic 'O virgo splendens' from the Llibre Vermell. Renaissance polyphony at its best!
Gardiner and The Monteverdi Choir themselves made the Compostela pilgrimage too. It's hard not to hear the fact in their sublime yet practical approach, which is sustained across a good dozen styles. Although recorded at All Hallows Church in London on their return, the music has the atmosphere of what must – to pilgrims over hundreds of years – have been a faint sense of superiority; or of justified achievement: the route is a long and arduous one. Storms rage to the north and west in the Bay of Biscay and Finisterre. This music relieves fear in any storm. John Eliot Gardiner makes the point in his written introduction that "Mediaeval men and women had the time to become absorbed, the capacity to be enraptured. Perhaps they were more content to live in the present… with both eyes fixed on the matter in hand." Such an approach is clear in this sanguine music-making by the two dozen-strong Monteverdi Choir (with Elin Manahan Thomas, soprano) and Gardiner – relaxed, convinced and luxuriant to the last note.
In sum, this is one of those discs whose impact is so strong that you simply want to play it over again on hearing that last lambent note – appropriately from a Sanctus by Clemens Non Papa – die away in the perhaps ever so slightly over-reverberant acoustic. Highly recommended.

Welcome to the results show. Before we get down to business, please join me in thanking this week’s judge, Steven O. Young Jr., for sorting right from wrong. Here’s what he thought:
I feel it may be necessary to admit that I haven’t acted as a judge since screening entrants in my elementary school’s talent show. It’s never easy to hold one’s work against another, but it was a fairly simple process back then; we were only kids, most of whom weren’t especially skilled yet. The field practically came together on its own—I can’t recall having to make any tough cuts.
This, however, was nowhere near as elementary.
There’s a tad bit more talent this time around, which took the prompts in incredibly varying directions. Your pieces ran the gamut from the psychedelic to the subdued; from using Shakespeare and Tolkien while establishing contemporary settings, to having Grateful Dead lyrics outline a couple’s relationship; from works of utter playfulness to stories of subtle despair. It made for some difficult decisions that required multiple readings of each piece to even be able to trim the list down whatsoever.
Still, decisions had to be made and they’re surely a matter of subjectivity. Well, that’s fairly obvious, but what I mean to say is that there were plenty of worthy stories that could have very easily gotten the nod with someone else reading. At any rate, thank you all for making my part in this process a struggle, and congratulations to our winners!
Desperately Seeking by Marie McKay
The quiet façade of this story hardly hides its viciousness. “Desperately Seeking” is an incredibly apt title; its message is not guardedly veiled, from the immediate admission of a “soon-to-be single” seeking a “man who takes care of people” to the bold print spelling it out a bit more explicitly.
Destination by Marie McKay
The use of synesthesia determined a sort of bodily-detached reading for me. I don’t know if that makes sense, but it certainly fit the diagramming of constellations and the “long distance souls skirting the edge of places”—lives told in the forever unobtainable, where the characters were all too eager to cast their dreams in the “empty track.”
Almost Fooled by Jacki Donnellan
With the vivid descriptions, it seems dangerously easy to be fooled by the illusionistic majesty of the scenery that surrounds the speaker. However, the curt sentences set a distinct rhythm that embodies the speaker’s fatigue. Her punctuated narration dismisses the possibility of allowing herself to become too attached to any of the potential delights after having suffered once. That realization is made all the more tragic when the speaker expresses the rigidity of her sense of solitude after feeling her baby kick.
Schoolboy Error by Sonya
This piece has such an innocent and genuine feel to it. Sure, there may be some sense of mild malice at the heart of the events, but Benny seems like such a gentle and earnest character that the reader’s attention is wholly diverted to Benny. While that may be an incredulous statement seeing as Benny only says two words—though “Chrimbo” certainly adds definition to him—the narration of the last paragraph sealed it for me with the pranksters set as the foil to Benny’s kind-hearted naïveté.
Merry Andrew by Karl A Russell
I’m jealous of more than a few pieces provided this week—more than just those that made this list—but this reads so naturally I’m almost annoyed to know it was written in a day! The lilting cadence carries throughout, dictated by a consistent syllabic patterning and rhyme scheme that molds each stanza. The use of “fayre” hints at the poem being a folktale of considerable age, which only goes to amplify its mythos. Plus, it practically demanded that I read the poem with my poor rendition of a Middle English accent. This isn’t as bawdy as many poems of that age, but it’s delightful nonetheless.
Karl A Russell
Merry Andrew jigs and reels,
A-dancing through the fayre,
To frighten boys
And tug their flowered hair.
In motley caravan he comes,
To sing the summer in,
On potter’s fields
And plague pit mounds,
With revelry and sin.
A powdered face, a rictus grin,
A crown of jangled bells,
But none dare meet
His shadowed eyes,
Nor hear the tale he tells.
For when the dance is over,
And all the sinning’s done,
The tent’s took down,
The earth stripped bare,
To claim them one by one.
And Merry Andrew travels on,
To spread his lies like cancer,
Of summer’s warmth
And endless joy,
That damned infernal prankster.

Prostate is a gland found only in males and is a vital part of male reproductive system. The prostate gland makes fluid that forms part of semen. It lies just below the bladder in front of the rectum. It surrounds the urethra.
Also know more about : Testicular Cancer
- Prostate gland produces a thick, clear fluid that makes the semen more fluid and protects and nourishes sperm cells in the semen.
- The prostate mixes its fluids with those from the seminal vesicles to transport the sperm made in the testicles.
- The prostate also filters and removes toxins for protection of the sperm, which enhances the chance of impregnation and ensures that men seed with the optimum quality of sperm.
- The prostate erection nerves are responsible for erections. These nerves trigger the penis to swell and harden with extra blood flow into it, producing an erection.
Prostate cancer can develop when cells in the prostate start to grow in an uncontrolled way. It is usually a very slow growing cancer and most patients do not have significant symptoms until the cancer reaches an advanced stage.
Types of Prostate Cancer
Acinar Adenocarcinomas: Adenocarcinomas are cancers that develop in the gland cells that line the prostate gland. They are the most common type of prostate cancer.
Ductal Adenocarcinoma: Ductal adenocarcinoma starts in the cells that line the ducts of the prostate gland. It tends to grow and spread more quickly than acinar adenocarcinoma.
Transitional cell cancer: Transitional cell cancer of the prostate starts in the cells that line the tube carrying urine to the outside of the body. This type of cancer usually starts in the bladder and spreads into the prostate.
Squamous cell cancer: These cancers develop from flat cells that cover the prostate. They tend to grow and spread more quickly than adenocarcinoma of the prostate.
Small cell prostate cancer: Small cell prostate cancer is made up of small round cells. It’s a type of neuroendocrine cancer.
Prostate Cancer Occurrence Rate in India
Previously it was thought, that prevalence of prostate cancer in India is far lower as compared to the western countries but with the changing life styles, increased awareness, and easy access to medical facility, more cases of prostate cancer are being picked up and it is coming to the knowledge that we are not very far behind the rate from western countries.
Prostate is the second leading site of cancer among males in large Indian and it is among the top ten leading sites of cancers in the rest of the PBRCs of India.
|Incidence||Mortality||5 years Prevalence|
The incidence rates of this cancer are constantly and rapidly increasing in all the PBRCs. The cancer projection data shows that the number of cases will become doubled by 2020.
Prostate cancer, at its early stage, usually causes no symptoms. But more advanced prostate cancers can sometimes cause symptoms, such as:
- Problems passing urine, including a slow or weak urinary stream or the need to urinate more often, especially at night.
- Urgency to pass urine.
- Discomfort in the pelvic area.
- Blood in the urine/ semen.
- Erectile dysfunction.
- Pain in the hips, back (spine), chest (ribs).
- Weakness or numbness in the legs or feet.
- Loss of bladder or bowel control from cancer pressing on the spinal cord.
Every type of Cancer has risk factors, but they don’t tell us everything. Many people with one or more risk factors never get cancer, while others who get cancer may have had few or no known risk factors. Some risk factors for Prostate Cancer include:
Age: Risk of Prostate Cancer increases with increasing age. Prostate Cancer is very rare in men below 40 and the risk increases rapidly after the age 50.
Family history: Men who have a family history of Prostate Cancer (father or brother) have a higher chance of developing it themselves. The risk is more in case of an effected brother than father.
Gene changes: Including inherited mutations of the BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes raises chances of developing Prostate Cancer and men with Lynch syndrome have an increased risk for a number of cancers, including Prostate Cancer.
Workplace exposures: Firefighters are exposed to substances (toxic combustion products) that may increase their risk of Prostate Cancer.
Cadmium: Cadmium and cadmium compounds are possible causes of Prostate Cancer. Cadmium is a type of metal that is in tobacco smoke and food. Non smokers are exposed to it through food. It is in most types of food including vegetables, meats, grains and fish.
The exact cause of Prostate Cancer is currently unknown. Hence, at this time it is not possible to prevent most cases of the disease. Natural and genetic factors are uncontrollable, but there are some precautions one may be able to take.
- Maintain a healthy weight.
- Regular physical activity.
- Limited intake of high-calorie foods and drinks.
- Eat at least 2½ cups of vegetables and fruits each day.
- Limit the intake of processed meat and red meat.
- Limit the alcohol intake to no more than 2 drinks per day.
- Reduce intake of dairy foods and diets rich in calcium.
Stage I: Tumor is limited to prostate
- The PSA level is lower than 10
- Tumor is found in one-half or less of one lobe of the prostate.
Stage II: Tumor is limited to prostate but PSA levels are higher
- The PSA level is more than 10 but lower than 20
- Tumor is found in one-half or less of one lobe of the prostate.
Stage III: Tumor has spread beyond the outer layer of the prostate and may have spread to the seminal vesicles. The PSA can be any level.
Stage IV: Tumor has spread beyond the seminal vesicles to nearby tissue or organs, such as the rectum, bladder, lymph nodes, bones or pelvic wall. The PSA can be any level.
Survival depends on many different factors. It depends on your individual condition, type of cancer subtype, treatment and level of fitness. So it is difficult to predict as to how long a particular Prostate Cancer patient will live.
10 year survival rate according to AJCC staging
Various methods can be used for screening and diagnosis. Most important of them for screening high risk patients is the blood levels of Prostate specific Antigen (PSA). Other methods for confirming Prostate Cancer is digital rectal examination, CT, MRI or bone scan as recommended by a consultant.
Medical history and physical exam: A general physical examination is conducted by the doctor to investigate the signs and symptoms of the disease. Further, a digital rectal examination (DRE) is conducted where a lubricated gloved finger is inserted into the rectum to feel for any hard areas on prostate.
PSA blood test: Prostate specific antigen (PSA) blood test is mainly used as a screening test to detect Prostate Cancer early in asymptomatic men.
The levels of PSA are < 4 nanograms/mililitre (ng/ml) in most healthy men. As PSA levels go up, the chances of having Prostate Cancer increase. However, a PSA level of
Imaging tests: Imaging tests help to identify the spread of the Prostate Cancer.
Bone Scan: Prostate Cancer often spreads to bones first (metastases), among the various sites for distant spread, which is detected by bone scan.
Computed Tomography (CT) scan: Helps in detecting spread of Prostate Cancer to nearby lymph nodes or other organs.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): Produces a clear picture of prostate and is useful to detect whether the cancer has spread outside the prostate into the seminal vesicles or nearby structures.
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men, but it can often be treated successfully. Depending on the stage of disease, prostate cancer can be treated in various ways.
Stage I and Stage II
- Surgery for prostate cancer involves removing the prostate gland, some surrounding tissue and a few lymph nodes.
- Radiation therapy: Uses non-invasive beam therapy using electron, proton, or neutron beams.
- Radiation / hormonal therapy
- Cryotherapy is a revolutionary minimally invasive therapy that uses ultrathin needles and freezing gases to destroy the cancerous tissue
- Hormone therapy is treatment to stop the body from producing the male hormone testosterone. Medications that stop the body from producing testosterone are given.
- Surgery to remove the testicles. Removing the testicles reduces testosterone levels in the body.
- Chemotherapy: works by destroying quickly-dividing cells and is usually reserved for patients with advanced prostate cancer.
This is dependent on the stage the Cancer has reached. However, if the Cancer is detected at an advanced stage, where the cancer cells have spread to distant parts of the body, then in spite of treatment it can be rarely cured.
Having some of the symptoms associated with Prostate Cancer may not necessarily indicate the presence of the disease. However, expert advice to rule out the possibility is prudent, making curative treatment possible. So, regular self examination and a physical examination at least once a year is recommended to facilitate early diagnosis of the disease.
If any of the symptoms mentioned in the Symptoms section is experienced, then consulting a doctor is highly recommended. Furthermore, a genetic make-up test can also be done to see if one is prone to Prostate Cancer.

Murine plasmacytomas show a striking dependence on interleukin 6 (IL-6) for their growth in vitro. Here, we present evidence suggesting that IL-6 also plays an essential role in the in vivo development of these tumors. This conclusion is based on the finding that the tumorigenicity of an IL-6-dependent plasmacytoma cell line was increased approximately 100-fold on transfection with an IL-6 expression vector, whereas it was inhibited in animals treated with monoclonal antibodies capable of blocking the binding of IL-6 to its receptor. Injection of these antibodies 1 d before tumor challenge protected greater than 50% of the mice and retarded tumor growth in all animals. Tumors arising in antibody-treated mice retained their IL-6 dependence in vitro, suggesting that the level of protection could be improved if stronger IL-6 antagonists were available.

Isis will remain the same
Aspen, CO ColoradoASPEN The latest change in plans for the Isis Theatre will keep the building as it is.When the city of Aspen entered a formal agreement with the Isis Group LLC and Aspen Film in November to help with the purchase of the building, there was talk of filling in the “notch” on the southeast corner of the building, next to the fire department. But according to Phil Holstein, a partner with the Isis Group, the purpose of building out that corner was to provide more space for the theater operator, Rocky Mountain Resort Cinemas, and that doesn’t appear necessary at this point.”The primary purpose of it was to provide more circulation space for the theater operator, and he seems to think he’ll be fine without it,” Holstein said. “It was determined that it was not in anyone’s interest to spend the million or more dollars to fill that in – at this time.”That doesn’t mean the Isis Group won’t seek to develop the notch in the future, but Holstein said that as long as the current configuration works for the theater operator, it will be left alone.Aspen’s Historic Preservation Commission recently granted approval for minor changes to some doors and windows to accommodate retail space on the west side of the ground floor, but Holstein said the building’s exterior configuration will remain the same.The Isis Group is working with Aspen’s Community Development Department to obtain approvals for interior renovations, and Holstein said he expects construction to begin around the middle of March or early April. Although the city has two building moratoriums in place, the Isis is classified as an “essential public facility” and is therefore exempt from the building bans.The plan is to keep the theater open during renovations, Holstein said, but there’s a chance it will have to close for a week or 10 days.According to Holstein, the Isis Group hasn’t signed on any specific companies for the retail side of the ground floor, which will be renovated for one or two stores. But the agreement with the city requires that any business in that space be midlevel retail. Holstein said the stores would probably be “ready-to-wear of some kind, like Banana Republic or a step up from the Gap.”He said he and his partners would love to see Eddie Bauer return to Aspen and will definitely be talking to that company.In November, the city entered into a “memorandum of understanding” with the Isis Group and Aspen Film. In the memorandum, the city agreed to sell certificates of participation, similar to bonds, that the Isis Group and Aspen Film will repay by leasing the building until the certificates are paid off. City Council will hold a public hearing on the authorization of the lease/purchase agreement Jan. 29.The certificates of participation will be available through an auction beginning on the morning of Feb. 1, and once that financing is secure, the Isis Group, which has the building under contract, is set to close on the purchase Feb. 15.The city will offer the certificates through the brokerage and investment banking firm Stifel Nicolaus and Co.Abigail Eagye’s e-mail address is email@example.com
On Monday night, the City Council listened to ideas for each old building. However, nothing laid out what the community space would actually entail — only aspirations and gathered community comment.

Shehnaaz Gill Sings ‘Kaun Tujhe.., Netizens Speculate
Singer-actor Shehnaaz Gill brought her fans to tears after singing a Bollywood track with absolute perfection, encouraging everyone to do the same without the fear of judgement.
“Dil ki baat” captioned Shehnaaz on Instagram, adding a little heart.
In the 58-second video clip, the Big Boss winner urged her fans that if they felt like singing in this monsoon weather, then they should sing their heart out. Because, according to Shehnaaz, “Who will judge you?”
“If you feel like singing in the rains, then you must. It doesn’t matter how much you of the lyrics you know, you should enjoy it. That is what matters,” said Shehnaaz before she started singing one of the most soulful tracks of the film ‘MS Dhoni: The Untold Story’, ‘Kaun Tujhe’.
The monochrome video showed Shehnaaz singing the lyrics of ‘Kaun Tujhe’, with her amazing vocal skills. She seemed to be sitting on the floor, wearing a simple T-shirt and shorts while keeping her curly hair open. However, it was her gestures that gave the video a serene outcome. Shenaaz enacted some words in the lyrics with her hands and cute expressions.
At one point, when she sang, “Kaun tujhe yun pyaar karega jaise mei karti huun’ Shehnaaz pointed her finger towards the sky, looking up. After completing her singing, she gives virtual kisses on screen to her fans.
The video has been widely loved and appreciated by many Instagram users who speculated whether the song was dedicated to late actor Sidharth Shukla, with whom Shehnaaz shared a close bond.
“Oh Mannnn! I know you see him in nature and everything,” wrote one user.
“The way you pointed at the sky has my whole heart love you forever,” commented another.
“No one can love like shehnaazgill. And as I always say.. Every Sid should get her Naaz.. SidNaaz forever together in our hearts…” commented a third user.
Sidharth and Shehnaaz, popularly called ‘SidNaaz’ by fans, got close to each other when they were in the ‘Bigg Boss 13’ house, though they never officially acknowledged being a couple. Sidharth later won the reality show in 2020.
Sidharth passed away on September 2, 2021 at the age of 40 after a cardiac arrest. (ANI)
