Nyack, NY. - A header in the 105th minute of overtime lifted the Nyack College men's soccer team to a 2-1 victory at CACC rival Chestnut Hill College earlier this Saturday during homecoming.
In the second period of overtime Samuel Viau skip-headed a long throwin to Andrew Kupp, who was able to head the ball in for his second goal of the season and the game-winner for the Warriors (6-7-0/5-4-0 CACC).
The Warriors jumped ahead in the first half with a 1-0 lead as Finn Reese scored off a penatly kick in the 23rd minute. Nyack ended the first half with a 7-3 advantage in shots. Chestnut Hill would tie the game with a penalty of its own in the 80th minute. Chestnut Hill cut the shot deficit to 11-7 before the overtime session. The Warriors and Griffins recorded two corner kicks each during 90 minutes.
Heading into the overtime, each team attempted a shot in the first period. However, the score remained scoreless. In the 105th minute Finn Reese's throw in found the head of Samuel Viau, who skipped it through to Andrew Kupp for the game winner. Wiktor Lasota finished the day with three saves, while Chestnut Hill's James Jackson recorded two saves.
The Warriors will be back in action this upcoming Wednesday, when they travel to New Jersey to take on the Caldwell University Cougars. The game is scheduled for 3:00pm.

AUSTIN, Tex. — The Texas Medical Board on Friday approved controversial new rules on the use of adult stem cells, raising concerns that Texans could receive therapies that have not yet been proven to work and that could be unsafe.
The new rules allow doctors to perform stem cell procedures as long as they are done for research and receive approval from an institutional review board, which can be private and profit-making. The rules also require that patients sign informed consent forms.
The approval process, which took months, was set off by Gov. Rick Perry, who reported relief from back pain after being injected with his own stem cells last summer before he began his presidential bid. Mr. Perry directed his staff to help push through the legislation on which the new rules are based.
Researchers said the evidence of success of stem cell injections is anecdotal, and they advocate waiting for clinical trial results before allowing doctors to charge patients for the procedures, which typically cost tens of thousands of dollars.
“I think there are some real problems with these rules,” said Leigh Turner, a professor at the University of Minnesota’s Center for Bioethics, who commented on the rules before the board. “The protective mechanism that they’re focusing on isn’t going to do very much.”
The rules’ supporters acknowledged the need for changes, like a better definition of stem cells, but they said the rules would protect Texas patients more effectively. Procedures are being performed now without oversight.
“Doing something at this point is better than doing nothing,” said Mario Salinas, director of Texans for Stem Cell Research, adding, “This is just the first step.”
Mr. Perry received a stem cell injection in July to treat his back pain. That same month, he sent a letter to the medical board chairman commenting on the “revolutionary potential that adult stem cell research and therapies have on our nation’s health, quality of life and economy.” The rules approved on Friday do not address the use of embryonic stem cells — a far more controversial procedure that has drawn moral and religious objections.
Though bone marrow transplants, which use blood-forming stem cells, have been used effectively to treat a variety of ailments for decades, experts say other procedures remain experimental. The medical board’s proposed rules, which appeared last month in The Texas Register, a state publication, attracted criticism from Nature, the international journal, which wrote in an editorial that the board should “make clear the need for clinical validation of adult stem cells.”
Because the rules had already been published in The Texas Register and stakeholders had provided feedback, the medical board could not make major changes on Friday and faced a simple choice: accept or reject the rules.
Even some board members who voted to accept the rules agreed that they were not perfect. But they said the rules improved on the current situation by adding a layer of protection for Texas patients.
“Right now, we’ve got essentially an emergency state, where there are a lot of concerns about the way stem cells are being used,” said Dr. Stanley Wang, a board member. He added that the new rules add at least the layer of institutional review board approval before a doctor can act.
Dr. William Smythe, a board member who voted against the rules, agreed that guidelines are needed, but objected to the use of the procedures without additional research.
“If Texas wants to be a leader in this area, there are other ways to do this,” Dr. Smythe said. “You want to add a layer of protection? Put a moratorium on the use of these agents until they’re proven.”

‘RHONY’: Carole Radziwill Compares Donald Trump To ‘First Season Housewife’
Carole Radziwill is one of the former stars of The Real Housewives of New York City. The reality TV star and journalist was known to be a massive supporter of Hillary Clinton during the 2016 presidential election race. Donald Trump was not her favorite candidate for his divisive rhetoric but ultimately he won the contest. Four years later, Radziwill is comparing the White House resident to a “firs season Housewife” and the reasons are hilarious.
Why is Carole Radziwill comparing Donald Trump to a Housewife?
Radziwill made it no secret that she did not want Trump taking over President Obama in 2016. The best-selling author even called out her co-stars like Ramona Singer for being Republican and most likely voting for Trump. For the night of the election, Bravo cameras filmed the moment she found out Clinton was projected to lose the race and Trump would be president.
As four years have gone by, Radziwill’s feelings toward Trump have not changed one bit. She has been created a metaphor about how he’s seen his time in office comparing it to the Housewives franchise.
“In 2016, Trump was like a first season Housewife, people thought he was ‘a breathe of fresh air.’ He was ‘real’ [and] he ‘tells it like it is.’ Lol,” she tweeted. “Now that he’s throwing his proverbial leg, let’s hope he doesn’t get a second season.”
Radziwill also made a reference to former RHONY star Aviva Drescher who infamously took off her prosthetic leg and threw it across the room. Who would’ve thought that Trump followed a similar journey as the stars of the Housewives franchises?
Carole Radziwill goes after Megyn Kelly
What fans loved about Radziwill is how stern she was with her opinions. Although she was mostly quiet throughout her run on RHONY, when she had something to say, her co-stars knew it was serious. Since leaving Housewives, her personality has not shifted and she recently took Megyn Kelly to task for “demonizing black men.”
Radziwill was responding to an article Kelly shared on Twitter that suggested cops had a knife which prompted them to shoot Jacob Blake. The journalist did not let this comment slide and reminded everyone that Kelly defended the use of blackface.
“This just in from a woman who was fired for defending Luann de Lesseps wearing BLACKFACE to a RHONY party,” Radziwill tweeted. “Word is the knife was planted in the car by the cops. Sit down Megyn Kelly.”
Radziwill was referencing the season 10 episode where De Lesseps dressed up as Diana Ross for Halloween. For her costume, her face was darkened with bronzer and Radziwill had called her out for donning blackface. Kelly discussed this incident on her NBC talk show and defended the idea. Her comments caused a severe backlash and the peacock network ended her show.
When a fan replied to Kelly asking her what her “point” was, Radziwill added, “She has no point except demonizing Black men and supporting white nationalists.”
Although Radziwill is not on RHONY anymore, the ladies are still thriving with season 12 wrapping up on-air. The Real Housewives of New York City airs on Thursday nights at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo.

Workout is the best part of our life to be fit and stay healthy as well. Unfortunately, being in the middle of a competitive market, most modern people are busy and have very little free time to spend on other things than their daily work. We do not even get free time to ensure our personal work is proper and gives us some personal time.
However, though not many, some people are still focused on maintaining their figure and being fit. One of the critical aspects related to working out is the usage of pre-workout supplements to boost athletic performance. They understand that it will be difficult to manage the pressure of work and stay fit without a workout. Being the only solution, workout has various features and aspects.
Now the question is: what pre-workout supplement is? Well, pre-workout is a form of a multi-ingredient supplement, which is a mixture of stimulants to help benefit our body. For instance, it helps to promote and maximize energy, velocity, strength and focus during exercise.
Key Benefits Of Pre-Workouts
Though not particular, these ingredients commonly contain caffeine, minerals, vitamins, and branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs). All these ingredients are aimed at boosting the workout performance of the human body. You can simply use these pre-workout supplements 30 to 60 minutes prior to the exercise session to engage muscular endurance and movement velocity.
1. Increase Energy
With so much going on in our life, it’s hard to always make up for the exercise. Well, in general, we consider an early morning time or a post-work time in the evening or night to balance your busy life schedule with the exercise process.
However, after a whole day of work, we get exhausted and feel low in energy, and in such a situation, giving our all in exercise becomes tough. Additionally, we always try to increase our workout time, but most of the time cope with that long session.
In such a situation, we have only one solution, and that is to go for a pre-workout supplement ideally from a leading brand with scientifically formulated ingredients, which significantly increases our workout abilities for a long time with enough energy.
However, caffeine and guarana alone are not very reputable, but if you use these through your pre-workout supplements, then the benefits are huge.
It will help you to rock the stage of exercise for a long time, and you will also gain full energy to gain all-out performance.
2. Increase Blood Flow
Your body muscles always need to be under the pumps to get better circulation. Well, better circulation of blood is related to a stronger supply chain of nutrients and oxygen.
On the other hand, Nitric oxide is the key to improving your cardiovascular function and enlarging blood vessels to increase your muscle mass. In this way, your muscles can get the space they need to actually get enlarged.
Well, pre-workout supplements have compound functions and benefits that can handle and foster the production of Nitric oxide.
On the other hand, these pre-workout supplements can enhance the delivery of nutrients and amino acids to the muscles to increase their endurance and strength in particular. So, you will not face any problems regarding the fueling process of muscle gain.
3. Recover Quicker
Muscle soreness is a welcome badge of honor for any person who starts exercising daily. Well, a day or two of muscle soreness is common, but if it takes longer to recover, you might get delayed in your training program.
Not everyone works out just to be fit but to build a body as well. This is a critical situation for people who like to get a good physique in a short time period. Getting laid back due to muscle soreness is a very common and difficult issue for people to recover from.
During the workout, when you put positive pressure on your muscles, it starts to break apart. After that, when the recovery process starts, you will start experiencing muscle soreness.
Well, a good pre-workout may contain amino acids like creatine or beta-alanine. These supplements are better to help you recover from muscle soreness and repair your cells by removing wastes.
Choose A Pre-Workout Supplement To Get Various Benefits
If you are able to go for an ideal pre-workout supplement, then you will not face any problems during your exercise and muscle-building process. So, it’s a part of being fit and working out like never before.
However, apart from the above-mentioned important benefits, you will also experience other benefits like:
- Staying focused.
- Enhancing fat loss.
- Improving cognitive function.
- Increasing resting energy expenditure.
Types of Pre-Workouts
When searching for the best pre-workout supplement to enhance and improve your workout performance, there are a variety of products to choose from. Generally speaking, there are two primary types of pre-workouts: stimulant-based and non-stimulant-based.
Stimulant Based Pre-Workouts
These typically contain stimulants like caffeine and other energizing ingredients like guarana, tyrosine, green tea extract, or even Yohimbe. Other ingredients include amino acids that promote muscle growth and repair as well as essential fatty acids that support healthy fat burning. These are designed to maximize energy, reduce fatigue and improve concentration in order for the user to train harder and longer with greater intensity.
Non Stimulant Pre-Workouts
These supplements generally lack any type of stimulants or artificial sweeteners often found in stimulant-based products. Instead of trying to enhance energy levels through diet alterations or stimulants, nonstims provide necessary nutrients such as electrolytes, essential amino acids, or B vitamins. These are an excellent choice for athletes who wish to target fat-burning goals without causing any unwanted side effects normally associated with increased levels of caffeine intake such as jitters or anxiety.
To conclude, they are a great way to boost your energy, improve focus and endurance and maximize your workouts. While there are many types of pre-workouts available on the market, it’s important to research the ingredients and their potential effects so that you can make an informed decision about the product that is best suited for your lifestyle.

What Is a Smart Factory?
Smart factories fall under the umbrella of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, also referred to as Industry 4.0. As noted by Forbes, the first iteration focused on mechanization, the second on mass production and the third on computerization. Industry 4.0, meanwhile, “will take what was started in the third with the adoption of computers and automation and enhance it with smart and autonomous systems fueled by data and machine learning.”
According to Asaf Weisberg, founder and CEO of introSight, “factories are now in transition. Back in the old days, they used PLC controllers — dumb computers that could do very basic things.” But little by little, he says, “there was a need to connect controls. Instruments that weren’t meant to be connected were connected for greater efficiency. Industry 4.0 brings more intelligence to the end device by allowing you to communicate directly.”
Smart factories are designed to drive the adoption of digital initiatives by prioritizing connection and communication between devices over the discrete manufacturing processes of previous generations. For Weisberg, deploying these connected digital technologies at scale “offers value in productivity, delivery, reduced labor and energy costs, in addition to streamlining the build-to-order cycle.”
What Is the Industrial Internet of Things?
To effectively design and deliver smart factory solutions, manufacturing firms must rely on the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). According to ZDNet, the IIoT “refers to the billions of industrial devices — anything from the machines in a factory to the engines inside an airplane — that are filled with sensors, connected to wireless networks and gathering and sharing data.”
Weisberg compares the Industry 4.0 approach to that of conventional industrial control systems.
“Traditional ICS has levels — actuators, sensors, etc. — that are very dumb devices,” he says. “They’re controlled by PLCs, which have some of their own logic, and are directly connected to a SCADA system.”
IIoT devices, meanwhile, exist along the spectrum between “dumb” sensors and full-fledged computers. “An IIoT device is not a computer,” says Weisberg, “but it can do basic functions and has connectivity. They’re smart objects that enable real-time action and analysis to optimize production value.”
The Industrial Internet of Things vs. the Internet of Things
Developing the necessary infrastructure for smart factories means using the right technology for the job. As a result, it’s worth differentiating between the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and its consumer counterpart, the Internet of Things (IoT).
While the two are conceptually similar, they differ across three key areas:
- Purpose: According to Weisberg, IIoT devices are purpose-built. He highlights the IoT example of a connected smartphone/wireless earbud combination; while the earbuds serve a singular purpose, the smartphone is effectively a multiuse computer. IIoT devices, meanwhile, are designed to carry out a single, specific function and then relay collected data.
- Precision: There’s also a need for greater precision in IIoT devices, both in data collection and construction. For example, even minor temperature fluctuations could indicate a production line problem, making precision measurement critical. In addition, IIoT devices must be built to withstand the often demanding environmental conditions of fully operational factories.
- Protection: IIoT devices must operate in a protected network environment. While IoT devices may rely on public clouds to transmit and store data, the sensitive nature of factory data means they require more robust network defense.


With the new Electoral Act, the INEC chairman added that the results of the 2023 general elections would be electronically transmitted.
While responding to questions from journalists, Yakubu said from the pilot conducted regarding transmission of results to its Results Viewing Portal, the commission had the capacity to transmit results electronically.
He said, “From the pilot we have conducted regarding transmitting results to our IREV portal, we have covered all the nook and cranny of Nigeria and we have no challenge whether in the remote areas or urban areas.
“That has convinced us that we can transmit election results just by uploading polling units results from the over 176,000 locations nationwide.
“Therefore, we are encouraged by the pilot that we have conducted that we have the capacity to transmit results from the polling units nationwide.”
Yakubu, however said the commission was working with stakeholders to ensure that it improves on the processes for seamless transmission with the signing of the new Electoral Act.
The INEC chairman said with the new dates, campaign for presidential and National Assembly elections by political parties would now commence on Wednesday, September 28, 2022.
Yakubu said notice of election would be published on Monday, while conduct of party primaries, including the resolution of disputes arising from them will take place between April 4 and June 3, 2022.
The INEC boss added that submission of nomination forms to INEC via the online portal for presidential and National Assembly elections would commence from 9am on Friday, June 10, 2022 and end by 6pm on Friday, June 17, 2022.
He said added, “Submission of nomination forms to INEC via the online nomination portal for governorship and state Assembly elections is from 9am on Friday, July 1, 2022 to 6pm on Friday, July 15, 2022.
“Commencement of campaign by political parties for presidential and National Assembly elections will be Wednesday September 28, 2022.
“Commencement of campaign by political parties for governorship and State Assembly elections will start on Wednesday, October 12, 2022.
“Last day of campaign by political parties for presidential and National Assembly elections will be midnight on Thursday, February 23, 2023.
“Last day of campaign by political parties for governorship and state Assembly elections will be midnight on Thursday, March 9, 2023.”
He said with the coming into force of the Electoral Act 2022, the commission would work assiduously to conclude and publish new Regulations and Guidelines for the Conduct of Elections that are consistent with the Act.
“These regulations and guidelines as well as manuals issued by the commission are all part of the legal regulatory framework for elections.
“Their timely publication will enable all stakeholders in the electoral process to become conversant with their provisions as they prepare for the 2023 general elections.
“On this note, I wish to remind stakeholders, especially the political parties, of their responsibility to adhere strictly to the timelines in this Timetable and Schedule of Activities, as well as all other timelines established by the commission,” he added.
The INEC chairman said it was necessary that all political parties comply with the extant legal framework, ensure proper organisation and management of party primaries and the nomination of qualified candidates in order to prevent unnecessary litigations and rancour.
He warned politicians and political parties against campaigning before the designated time.
Speaking on whether INEC would sanction erring candidates who would start campaign ahead of the dates, he answered affirmatively.
He said, “This is not just a matter of Electoral Act, it is a constitutional provision that there is a timeframe for the commencement of campaign which is 150 days to the election and there is also a period for end of campaign, which is 24 hours to the election.
“Let me seize this opportunity to call the attention of political parties and candidates that the law makes specific, definite provisions for the commencement of campaigns and end of campaigns and all Nigerians are required to adhere to the provisions of the law, including political parties and candidates.
“We will hold meeting with all parties to discuss not only the issue of campaign but all other issues that require the attention of political parties as provided in the Electoral Act.”

ABC on September 11 dropped the first TGIT-branded promo featuring actual footage from the new seasons of Grey’s, Scandal and How to Get Away With Murder, and the 60-second clip all but confirmed that Jackson and Maggie will become a thing in Season 14 (whether you like it or not). The trailer preview also hinted at a much lighter energy between Alex and Jo, and offered a first look at Timeless‘ Abigail Spencer as the alive and (seemingly) well Megan.
Kim Raver is set to reprise her role as Grey’s Anatomy‘s Dr. Teddy Altman.
Raver last played Teddy in the ABC drama’s Season 8 finale, in which Meredith, Cristina and others fought to survive the aftermath of their plane crash in the woods. Back at Seattle Grace, meanwhile, Owen fired Teddy so that she could without guilt accept a chief position at the United States Army Medical Command.
Also, setting up a love triangle for the coming Season we hope, Raver’s Teddy was the person who confirmed that Owen’s sister/Nathan’s ex-love Dr. Megan Hunt had been found alive, 10 years after an Army helicopter disappearance. Raver will return to Grey’s as a guest star, presumably as a part of that continuing storyline.
Pick me, choose me, love me all over again if you ask me.
Maggie’s finally taken her late Mother’s advice after losing Nathan to Meredith and Andrew humiliating her. Rumor has it Jackson has his sights – and his hands – on Maggie this Season.
Grey’s Anatomy star Jason George has joined the cast of the Grey’s firefighter-focused spinoff as a series regular, according to The Hollywood Reporter. George will continue to be a series regular on the upcoming Season 14 of Grey’s — debuting Thursday, Sept. 28 at 8/7c on ABC — until the untitled spinoff begins production; he’s also expected to pop back into Grey’s from time to time.
George joined the Grey’s cast back in Season 6 as Dr. Ben Warren, earning a promotion to series-regular status in Season 12. Ben’s storyline this season will set up his transition to the new spinoff series, which centers on a tight-knit group of Seattle firefighters. The spinoff, with Rosewood alum Jaina Lee Ortiz set as the female lead, was ordered straight to series back in May; no premiere date has been set.
Along with his role on Grey’s, George has had regular roles on Mistresses, Off the Map, Eve and the late NBC soap Sunset Beach.
Grey’s has no return date yet, but has been confirmed.

Henrik Topsøe wins EY Entrepreneur Of The Year 2013
On Thursday November 28, Chairman of the Board, Henrik Topsøe, was named EY Entrepreneur Of The Year 2013 at an event held by Ernst Young. According to the jury, the competition was extremely tough. “During my time as Head of the Jury, we have never before experienced a competition with such strong players,” says Christian Frigast, Head of the Jury.
Henrik Topsøe was named the winner based on his ability to maintain, protect, and integrate the legacy and spirit of his late father, Haldor Topsøe, in the company, while simultaneously creating growth and breathing new life into a company in which he grew up.
While very honored by the acknowledgment of being named Entrepreneur Of The Year 2013, Henrik Topsøe stresses that the prize is a result of the dedication and hard work of all Haldor Topsøe employees - and he is therefore pleased to accept the honor on behalf of the company. “It is a great honor, and on behalf of the company I am very proud,” says Henrik Topsøe.
According to the partner of the event, The Danish Chamber Of Commerce, it has been a pleasure to experience the weight and quality of the businesses in this year’s competition.
“We need companies that have the ability to reinvent themselves and contribute to the innovation in Denmark – but also companies that manage to get the attention from the rest of the world because of their groundbreaking technologies. Haldor Topsoe is a company that has been through a great continuous development, and that is still one of the leading players in its field. It is not always a given thing that companies will have the ability to last for several generations. That is why it is so important that Denmark continues being a country that focuses on research and innovation, in order for new ideas to blossom into strong business concepts that can create growth in Denmark,” says Ulla Brandt, Senior Consultant at The Danish Chamber Of Commerce.
Being the EY Entrepreneur Of The Year 2013, Henrik Topsøe will be representing Denmark at the unofficial world championship of growth – EY World Entrepreneur Of The Year – in Monaco next year.
A leader in globalization
Haldor Topsoe A/S was also named the winner in the globalization-category, because of its world-leading position within the field of high-technology catalysts, and the technology that optimizes the processes during usage.
The Globalization Prize honors businesses in growth that manage to recognize the possibilities of the global markets - and that thereby not only create success for themselves, but also function as a beacon leading the way across national borders for other Danish businesses.
“Denmark is very dependent on the companies that dare go global, and Haldor Topsoe A/S poses a great example,” says Carsten Collin, Partner and Director of EY Entrepreneur Of The Year.
CFO Peter Rønnest Andersen and Haldor Topsøe’s eldest son, Flemming Topsøe, received the prizes.

This year I tried to make as many birthday presents as I could. I made this tissue box cover for my father in law who loves liquorice allsorts.
Sam and I made this bag together for my mum's birthday. Dod (pronounced door d) was what Sam called her when he was a toddler and for some reason it stuck so that is what he still calls her now. He chose the fabric (it was my quilt cover when I was a teenager) and chose the colour felt for the letters. He helped trace the letter templates and cut out the letters too.
Then it was time for the sewing. I stitched around the letters then sam stitched all the straight seams himself. It is so much easier for him now that I have the new machine that works without the foot pedal and he loves to sew things.

1. The drumstick and other nuclear appendages of the nuclei of polymorphonuclear neutrophils from patients with chronic granulocytic leukemia (CGL), leukemoid reactions and inflammatory leukocytoses were studied.
2. The drumstick counts of the leukocytes of patients with CGL were abnormally low. In contrast, the counts in the leukocytes from patients with the other disorders were not reduced. The low counts increased rapidly in response to treatment and were maintained at normal levels during remission.
3. The normalization of drumstick counts in CGL paralleled the leukocyte alkaline phosphatase and catalase concentrations.
4. The number of sessile nodules and small clubs in each of the disorders studied was moderately reduced. Following treatment, the counts returned to normal. This suggests a relationship between the development of these appendages and hyperproliferation of neutrophils.

How our Economic Constitution Has Deteriorated
Many people think of the Constitution as essentially unchanged, yet today’s document bears little resemblance to the original of 1787 in its relation to the economy. The original words remain, but they have been formally amended in critical ways; and reinterpreted by the Supreme Court so that their practical effect has become almost the opposite of the intent.
The original Constitution promoted economic development in many ways. For example, it resolved the disputes over the West by providing for the admission of new states on equal terms with the old, thereby fostering settlement of the vast interior. Provision for duty-free interstate trade increased productivity. The Constitution made state governments less intrusive by prohibiting their issuance of paper money and their passage of laws impairing the obligation of contracts.
By the mid-19th century, rapid economic growth had become the normal condition of the economy. But under the surface, an irresolvable contradiction was growing. The lump that would not digest was slavery.
In view of its importance in the southern economy and the deep disagreements between northerners and southerners about it, slavery received scant mention in the original Constitution. (The words “slave” and “slavery” do not appear at all.) Congress could not interfere with the international slave trade for 20 years; slaves escaping into free states had to be returned; and three-fifths of the slaves were counted in determining representation in Congress. Otherwise the Constitution left slavery to the states.
For seven decades, a succession of political compromises kept the conflict between North and South from boiling over, but finally either the will or the ability to fashion acceptable compromises ran out, and the Civil War ensued.
In the war’s aftermath the old Constitution was fundamentally altered. The Thirteenth Amendment abolished slavery. The Fourteenth guaranteed to all citizens, including the freed slaves, protection from state actions that would abridge the privileges and immunities of citizenship, deprive them of life, liberty, or property without due process, or deny them equal protection of the laws. The Fifteenth Amendment guaranteed the right of the freedmen to vote. The amendments of the 1860s transferred power from the states to the national government. Though disputes over states’ rights persisted, claims of dual sovereignty lost most of their force.
During the post-civil War era, Americans enjoyed unprecedented economic growth, an achievement favored by the Supreme Court’s insistence that due process of law included protection of economic liberties—rights of private property and freedom of contract. Then, government actions caused the economy to plunge into deep depression in the early 1930s. Governments at all levels responded by expanding their powers over economic affairs. At first the Supreme Court resisted many of these measures. Starting in 1937, though, the Court reversed so many important decisions on economic matters that its turnabout must be considered a constitutional revolution. The heart of the Court’s new position was a broad reading of the Commerce Clause. Practically everything, no matter how manifestly local, was seen as part of interstate commerce and therefore subject to regulation by Congress and its agencies.
During the past 50 years, the United States has developed a welfare state not much different from those of Western Europe. Economic affairs, once overwhelmingly private, have become pervasively politicized. Taxes now equal 40% of the national income—up from 13% as recently as 1929. The free-market economy has come to be regulated in minute and expensive detail, with the costs born largely by consumers. Citizens have lost much of the economic liberty their ancestors esteemed.
American traditions and political pressures have kept the government from totally destroying all private property rights. But the Constitution, which formerly served to guarantee economic liberties, no longer provides much if any substantial protection. One may well doubt whether the economic dynamism that made the average American rich by world standards will prove permanently compatible with a constitutional regime so permissive of governmental intrusion into economic affairs.
But the Constitution can be changed, as it has been changed before. In 1865 the Constitution gave the slaves freedom from their masters. We can hope that someday the Constitution will be changed again to give all Americans economic freedom from our masters in Washington.

A little more than 27 months remain until the phaseout of all quotas on textiles and apparel among the 144 member nations of the World Trade Organization, opening the gates to an expected surge in apparel exports from developing economies, particularly China. Sourcing executives are racing to position themselves for the shifts in trade patterns expected to result from that event. While many predict that major industrialized nations, including the U.S., Japan and the European Union countries, will continue to see their manufacturing industries dwindle, a vital question is how key production countries such as Thailand, Sri Lanka and Mexico will handle the changes.

text: Vol 3 delves into the current controversy over possibly building yet a third dam in the Upper Chehalis Basin near Pe Ell. Proponents argue the dam is needed to control flooding that causes damage to property nearly every year and occasionally takes I-5 out of service. Others oppose on the grounds a new dam will negatively impact the environment and adversely impact salmon and steelhead stocks that spawn in the upper reaches of the Chehalis River. The video looks for a geographical connection to the differing opinions. Watch and decide for yourself whether those living in the Upper Basin that are facing the flooding problems with very limited fishing seasons are more likely to support a dam while and those living downstream catching fish during the seasons set by WDFW for the lower Basin place a greater value on the future of the runs are likely to oppose the idea. Finally, the video speculates on how WDFW's historic failure to provide the mitigation promised for the first two dams could eventually become a deciding factor in decision on whether or not to build a new dam.

Fast is an understatement!,
I purchased this for my Samsung S5 and so far it’s performance has been stellar. The test results however tell me that this card is capable of read/write speeds faster than my S5 can handle so this card may be an overkill Why you ask? See my bench marking numbers below. For a non-technical summary: The card tested must faster from my computer than the speed scores when tested in the actual android device.
For those who want real numbers here are the bench marks. I tested the card using CrystalDiskMark 3.0.3 x64.

Perfect for high bitrate video (100mbit+ @ 4k resolution),
The vast majority of microsd cards can easily handle podcasts and music. The true test for good/performance/high quality micro sd cards is their read/write speed with files over 4-5gb, transferring large files without corruption, and surviving a lot of data write and erase.
My Transcend 32gb 300x card was quite good for everything on my Note 3 until I rooted the phone and used a mod to increase the 4k video capture default bitrate from 48,000 kbps to 100,000 kbps (this leads to better video quality). 100,000 kbps (100mbit) requires a microsd write speed of atleast 12.5MBps (100mbit divided by 8 = 12.5MBps). The card could manage this however it was right on the edge. Also, keep in mind that this card’s real write speed is well over 12.5MBps but cell phones as of 2014 don’t use the full UHS-1 interface speed. The phone would take 10-15 seconds of “processing time” when I hit “Stop recording” on the phone after a clip that was 3-5mins long. This was due to the large file size (3-4gb) from the increased bit rate. I could still live with it but it caused me to miss out on many family moments. This scenario was going to increase as future cell phones and camcorders would have higher and higher bitrates.
I purchased this Samsung pro 64 GB microsd card due to its high write speed. Mobile phones cannot get the full 80MBps+ speeds at the moment but I am getting at least 20 MBps+ which is enough for future cell phones with 150Mbit modded camera bitrates.
Companies always advertise read speeds but they don’t like to mention write speeds. This card is expensive for a reason. The flash memory is high grade and exceeds the UHS-1 spec by a long margin for write speeds. I can now record 4k videos on my Note 3 at 100mbit bit rate with 1-2 seconds “Processing time” after clicking “Stop”. This is a major help since my cell phone is the primary video camera. I expect this microsd card to also help with my DSLR burst shots.
Transfer speeds over micro usb 3.0 are very close to the 90/80 MBps speeds listed on the packaging. This is a 5 star product and a must have for all 4k video adopters in 2014/2015.

That whole thing about DeMar DeRozan not influencing Kyle Lowry’s free agent decision in any way? It may be true in the spirit that the BFFs meant it, but it may not be completely earnest in the sense that the All-Star backcourt may still discuss basketball matters and figure out a way the Toronto Raptors can move forward with the pair together.
To wit, Chris Haynes of ESPN reports that DeRozan and head coach Dwane Casey visited Lowry in the Bay Area this week. Specifics are mostly unclear, though Haynes passes along that part of the intention was for Casey to “expose his players to the NBA Finals culture.”
If nothing else, this pretty clearly shows that the Raptors intend to retain Lowry, if he’ll stay, and that Casey and DeRozan will play a part in convincing him. (It also pretty strongly suggests Casey will be at the helm next year.) It’s possible that Casey, DeRozan, and Lowry were discussing the specifics of the potential “culture reset” that president Masai Ujiri had mentioned, and other ways the team can improve without much wiggle room in free agency and with LeBron James still existing.
Norman Powell was also at Game 1 of the NBA Finals and reportedly attended the meeting. That could just be because he lives and trains in the area, but Lowry and DeRozan are fond of Powell, and he could be a bigger part of what they want to do next season if everyone stays together.
Whatever the case, we won’t know much on the Lowry front until July 1. Lowry isn’t going to tip his hand and hurt his own market, and the Raptors aren’t going to publicly announce they’ve moved on until Lowry signs elsewhere. If Lowry returns, everything falls from there, including what could be a loose handshake deal with Serge Ibaka, the futures of P.J. Tucker and Patrick Patterson, and any subsequent tweaking the team needs to do to cut their luxury tax bill and improve the roster. Everything flows from Lowry, which is why meetings like this taking place a month before free agency begins – and just weeks after the season ended – are notable.
Sorry to not add much context here, but it’s nothing we haven’t covered before and I gotta get outta here. As a programming note, this is the last you’ll hear from me until June 14. Everyone else will be holding it down in my stead. Hope you all have wonderful weekends/weeks/fortnights/whatever.

Westborough company agrees to recall of products
Ameridose, a compounding pharmacy under investigation for its owners’ ties to a deadly meningitis outbreak, has voluntarily recalled all its unexpired products.
"Ameridose has not received any adverse reports related to the products subject to this recall and neither Ameridose nor the FDA has identified impurities in any Ameridose products," the company wrote on its website Wednesday. "Nevertheless, out of an abundance of caution, we are undertaking this recall to assure customers that when Ameridose products are shipped, they are fully in conformance with all of the FDA's recommendations."
The Food and Drug Administration has asked for improvements in the company’s "sterility testing process," according to the statement.
Ameridose shares ownership with New England Compounding Center, which produced an injectable steroid allegedly tainted with fungus that caused an outbreak of fungal meningitis, which has killed 29 people as of Wednesday, according to the Centers for Disease Control. There are 377 cases in 19 states.
State officials have also asked for Ameridose’s pharmacist of record, Sophia Pasedis, to step down from the Board of Registration in Pharmacy, where she is a board member.
At NECC’s Framingham lab, investigators found visibly soiled mats and a leaky boiler. Lab workers allegedly didn’t follow proper protocol for sterilizing products, did not test its sterilization equipment, and failed to properly clean the powder hoods used to protect pharmacists from inhaling substances during drug preparation, according to state public health officials.
Over the weekend, Interim Commissioner of Public Health Lauren Smith and Bureau of Health Care Safety and Quality Director Madeleine Biondolillo announced that another lab had been shut down.
Waltham compounding pharmacy Infusion Resource surrendered its pharmacy license after a surprise inspection turned up concerns over sterility at the lab, and the discovery that injections were taking place on site, which was beyond the scope of Infusion’s license. Infusion had also agreed to recall its products.
Unlike NECC, Ameridose had a license to manufacture drugs on a large scale. NECC was restricted to producing drugs for individual patients, but had allegedly violated that restriction.
A Westborough company, Ameridose on Oct. 10 agreed to temporarily close its operations, so that an investigation could take place. In a Friday Oct. 19 extension of a previous agreement, Ameridose agreed to stay closed until Nov. 5 at 5 p.m.
"This action is voluntary, and represents an expansion of our cooperation with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the Massachusetts Board of Registration in Pharmacy," the statement published Wednesday on the Ameridose website reads. Ameridose produced a variety of products, including sedatives, antibiotics, anesthetics and more.
"Our preparations undergo rigid real-time stability studies using stability-indicating methodologies by third-party, independent FDA registered laboratories for a wide range of criteria including stability and sterility," the company said on its website.

If you were nervous about the S&P 500 at 2,300, then you should probably find that security blanket, because 2,500 is knocking at the door.
In a feat not seen in six weeks, all three U.S. indexes hit a record on the same day yesterday, as this market just refuses to stay down for long. The S&P 500 has already taken out pretty much all of the end-2017 forecasts laid out by big banks last year.
Of course, Apple
For those scaredy bulls needing some extra courage, LPL Financial’s Ryan Detrick notes that the S&P now has five straight monthly wins under its belt, something that has only happened 25 times since the 1950s. “The good news for bulls is a year later it was higher 23 out of the previous 24 times, and higher 13.2% on average,” he says in a note.
Still got the jitters? If that’s the case, then our call of the day from Peter Garnry, Saxo Bank’s head of equity strategy, says there is one move you should definitely avoid right now.
“The worst thing, and unfortunately it’s one of the strategies a lot of retail investors are applying, is just going all cash,” Garnry said on an equities update webinar to clients Wednesday.
Data have shown that missing out on big days can torpedo a portfolio. “It’s very, very important for your long-term gains to be in the market when you get these strong, up-moving days,” he says.
Garnry suggests the uneasy investor “tilt” a portfolio toward defensives like utilities, telecom, health care and consumer staples, and take money off the table from cyclicals — financials, industrials and materials.
There’s one more sector to consider, he says — IT, which has become more defensive over the past five years.
“We think the primary driver of that is that software is 60% of the sector weight,” he says. “Software per definition is a more stable business, more recurring revenue, more predictable” than the two former big IT industries, hardware and semiconductors.

Q fever is a zoonosis caused by the strictly intracellular, gram negative bacterium Coxiella burnetii which proceeds asymptomatic and self-limiting in 60% of the cases. The infectious organism is commonly found in cattle, sheep, goats and other domestic mammals. more...
The infection results from inhalation of contaminated particles of the inhaled air. The incubation time is 9-40 days. It is considered possibly the most infectious disease in the world, as a human being can be infected by a single bacterium.
It was first described by Edward Holbroock Derrick in abattoir workers in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia as a disease of unknown origin and therefore “query fever”. In 1937 the bacterium was isolated by Frank MacFarlane Burnet and Freeman from one of Derrick’s patients for the first time and identified as Rickettsia-species. H.R. Cox and Davis isolated the pathogen from ticks in Montana, USA in 1938, described the transmission and it was officially named Coxiella burnetii the same year. Meanwhile Coxiella burnetii is no longer regarded as closely related to Rickettsiae.
The most common manifestation is flu-like symptoms with abrupt onset of fever, malaise, severe headache, myalgia (muscle pain), loss of appetite, dry cough, pleuritic pain, chills, confusion and gastro-intestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea. The fever lasts approximately 7-14 days.
During the course, the disease can progress to an atypical pneumonia, which often results in a life threatening acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), whereby such symptoms usually occur during the first 4-5 days of infection.
Less often the Q fever causes (granulomatous) hepatitis which becomes symptomatic with malaise, fever, liver enlargement (hepatomegaly), pain in the right upper quadrant of the abdomen and jaundice (icterus).
The chronic form of the Q fever is virtually identical with the inflammation of the inner lining of the heart (endocarditis), which can occur after months or decades following the infection. It is usually deadly if untreated. However, with appropriate treatment this lethality is around 10%.
Appearance and incidence
The pathogenic agent is to be found everywhere except Antarctica and New Zealand. In Europe it rather appears as hepatitis and rather as pneumonia in the United States. The bacterium is extremely sustainable and infectious: a single one is able to cause an infection. The common way of infection is inhalation of contaminated dust, contact with contaminated milk, meat, wool and particularly birthing products. Ticks can transfer the pathogenic agent to other animals. Transfer between humans seems extremely rare and has so far been described in very few cases.
Men are slightly more often affected than women, what most likely is attributed to exposition in typical professions such as livestock breeding, dairy and meat production. A vaccination exists and its use is recommended to exposed people in some countries.

Trump's trust gap with his intelligence chiefs
Asked in the Oval Office today if he trusts director of National Intelligence Dan Coats and CIA director Gina Haspel to give him good advice, President Trump said, “No, I disagree with certain things that they said,” adding, “time will prove me right.”
Driving the news: Coats, speaking for Haspel and four other intelligence chiefs arrayed on either side of him, said at a Senate hearing Tuesday that North Korea is unlikely to give up its nuclear weapons, ISIS is “intent on resurging,” Iran isn't currently pursuing a nuclear weapon and climate change is a national security threat.
- The gaps between Coats’ assessments and Trump’s public statements quickly filled headlines and cable news chyrons. Next came at least one call for Coats' ouster, on Fox, and tweets from Trump suggesting “The Intelligence people” are “extremely passive and naive when it comes to the dangers of Iran,” and “Perhaps Intelligence should go back to school.”
Between the lines: Trump has been fairly consistent, at least publicly, in his approach to intelligence assessments: embrace them when convenient and reject them when they’re not.
I asked two former directors of National Intelligence what they make of the position Coats, the current holder of that position, finds himself in.
John Negroponte, who served as the first DNI under George W. Bush, didn’t like the premise of my question: “The position Coats finds himself in is director of National Intelligence, and the position Trump finds himself in is president of the United States,” he told me. “You’ve got to take into account the difference.”
- “I honestly don’t think [Coats] is challenging what Trump is saying,” he continued, noting that Coats didn't actually contradict Trump on the Iran deal, for example. “I think there is a difference between analyzing a situation on the one hand and carrying out a policy on the other."
- Negroponte said tensions between intelligence officials and those in the policy and diplomatic arenas arise in part because "so much of the discussion of intelligence matters is now in the public domain." Too much, in his opinion.
Yes, but: Negroponte did say that he couldn’t recall ever having to offer an assessment that ran counter to the White House line — or being challenged so publicly by the commander in chief. He also praised Coats, whom he said “calls it how he sees it” and “speaks truth to power.”
James Clapper, the longest-serving DNI and an occasional Trump sparring partner since he stepped down at the end of the Obama administration, was far more critical:
- “This is simply a reflection of the no-fact-zone reality bubble where Trump dwells. The IC [intelligence community] really isn’t being singled out here; he cannot tolerate anyone or anything that pushes back from his distorted world view.”
- “The IC leaders — notably Dan — acquitted themselves with great distinction. They did their constitutional duty: to tell truth to power, regardless of whether the power listens to the truth. I was very proud of them.”
- “That said, policymakers — to include policymaker No. 1 — always have the prerogative of accepting, rejecting or just ignoring the intelligence that is teed up for them. If they do so routinely, on many topics, they imperil the nation, and their position.”
P.S. Trump tweeted late Thursday afternoon: “Just concluded a great meeting with my Intel team in the Oval Office who told me that what they said on Tuesday at the Senate Hearing was mischaracterized by the media — and we are very much in agreement on Iran, ISIS, North Korea, etc.”


Bradford Wells and Anthony John Makk met nineteen years ago in Australia, and were married seven years ago in Massachusetts.
But despite the fact that have been together for so long — and the fact that Bradford is a U.S. citizen who is terminally ill — immigration officials have told Anthony that he needs to leave the country by August 25th. This is causing even more stress for Wells, who has been diagnosed with AIDS, and relies on Makk as his sole caregiver. According to CNN:
…for the past few months I’ve been sick to my stomach with worry and I’m going to wake up and Anthony isn’t going to be here,” Wells said.
Earlier this year, because of a discriminatory law better known as the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), Anthony’s request for permanent residency as a spouse of an American citizen was rejected because they are a same-sex couple. And now, immigration officials are threatening Anthony with deportation.
Even though the Obama Administration has the authority to keep families like Bradford and Anthony’s together, they refuse to use it. Furthermore, President Obama has already said the DOMA is unconstitutional.
If Anthony is deported, he will be forced to leave behind his husband, their family, and their friends — not to mention their dogs.
Already, 60 members of Congress have asked the Obama Administration to stop the separations of families like Bradford and Anthony’s, but the administration is still refusing to provide any relief.
No matter what their sexual orientation might be, families should not be forced to live under the constant threat of separation, and spouses of American citizens should not be deported.
Show your support for Bradford Wells and Anthony Makk by signing and sharing this petition, urging President Obama to keep this family together.

Robin Craig specializes in all things water, including the relationships between climate change and water; the water-energy-food nexus; the Clean Water Act; the intersection of water issues and land issues; ocean and coastal law; marine biodiversity and marine protected areas; water law; ecological resilience and the law; climate change adaptation, and the relationships between environmental law and public health. She is the author, co-author, or editor of 12 books, including Re-Envisioning the Anthropocene Ocean (University of Utah Press, forthcoming, with Jeffrey M. McCarthy); The End of Sustainability (Kansas University Press 2017, with Melinda Harm Benson); Contemporary Issues in Climate Change Law and Policy (Environmental Law Institute 2016, with Stephen Miller); Comparative Ocean Governance: Place- Based Protections in an Era of Climate Change (Edward Elgar 2012); and The Clean Water Act and the Constitution (Environmental Law Institute 2nd Ed. 2009), as well as textbooks for environmental law, water law, and toxic torts. She has also written more than 100 law review articles and book chapters in both legal and scientific publications.
In recognition of her work on these topics, Craig was elected to membership in the American Law Institute in 2015 and the American College of Environmental Lawyers in 2019 and has been appointed to the International Union for the Conservation of Nature’s World Commission on Environmental Law and to the Center for Progressive Reform. She has served on six National Academy of Sciences committees that evaluated Florida Everglades restoration, implementation of the Edwards Aquifer Habitat Conservation Plan, and application of the Clean Water Act to the Mississippi River. She has consulted on water quality issues with the government of Victoria, Australia, and the Council on Environmental Cooperation in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, and she was one of 12 marine educators chosen to participate in a 2010 program in the Papahanamokuakea Marine National Monument, spending a week on Midway Atoll. She was also a principal researcher in a four-year grant project on Adaptive Water Governance sponsored by the National Social-Ecological Synthesis Center with money from the National Science Foundation. In 2018, Craig was named a William Evans Visiting Research Fellow at the University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand. In 2017, the Rockefeller Foundation awarded her a Bellagio Center Writing Residency fellowship, allowing her to spend four weeks on Lake Como, Italy, working on a new book project on Re-Envisioning the Anthropocene Oceans, and in 2016 she was a research fellow at the University of Tasmania, Hobart, Australia.
Craig is an active participant in several national organizations, including the American Bar Association Section on Environment, Energy, and Resources (ABA SEER), where she currently serves on the editorial board of Natural Resources & Environment; the Rocky Mountain Mineral Law Foundation, where she co-chairs the Natural Resources Law Teachers Committee; and the Association of American Law Schools (AALS), where she has chaired the Maritime Law Section, the Natural Resources Law Section and the Environmental Law Section. She has also served as a consultant to the Environmental Defense Fund and the River Network’s Nutrient Task Force. Craig serves as an editorial board member of Case Studies in the Environment and Coastal and Ocean Management, specialty chief editor of Frontiers Climate: Climate Law and Policy, guest associate editor for Frontiers Climate: Risk Management on the topic of “Climate Change Adaptation as Risk Mangement,” and as the series editor for the Wallace Stegner Series on Environmental Studies at the University of Utah Press.
Craig earned her JD summa cum laude in 1996 from the Lewis & Clark School of Law in Portland, Oregon, with a Certificate in Environmental Law; her PhD in English/literature and science in 1993 from the University of California, Santa Barbara; her MA in writing about science in 1986 from the Johns Hopkins University; and her BA cum laude in English/writing in 1985 from Pomona College in Claremont, California. While in law school, she worked for the Oregon Department of Justice in its general counsel division, natural resources section, representing the state’s environmental and natural resources agencies. After law school, she clerked for Judge Robert E. Jones at the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon before starting her law teaching career as a visiting assistant professor at the Lewis & Clark School of Law. Before arriving at USC Gould School of Law in 2021, Craig held tenure-track positions at the Western New England College School of Law; Indiana University—Indianapolis School of Law (where she first received tenure); the Florida State University School of Law; and the University of Utah S.J. Quinney School of Law. She has visited at the Lewis & Clark School of Law, Vermont Law School, the University of Hawaii School of Law, and the University of Tasmania Faculty of Law. At Gould, Professor Craig teaches environmental law, water law, ocean and coastal law, toxic torts, and civil procedure.

As the leaves change and temperatures cool, head inside, fire up your headphones, and get ready for hot-podcast fall as share stories about, well, fire. Join us over the next six weeks to hear stories about wildfires, volcanoes, fire in space, and on other planets, indigenous fire knowledge, and…fireflies!

A new study from Florida State University researchers indicates that common satellite imaging technologies have vastly underestimated the number of fires in Florida. Their report, published in collaboration with researchers from the Tall Timbers Research Station and Land Conservancy, challenges well-established beliefs about the nature and frequency of fire in the Sunshine State. While there were more fires than expected, researchers said, strategically prescribed burns throughout the state are proving an effective force against the ravages of wildfire.

Late spring is a dynamic, transitional time with seemingly endless opportunities to observe and photograph nature. There are so many things going on, all competing for attention: animals in beautiful sleek summer coats; awkward, gangly youngsters learning the ways of the world; a continuum of blooming wildflowers and woody shrubs, the latter resulting in soft mast that will nourish late-nesting and migrating birds; and of course the cold-blooded reptiles and invertebrates, responding to the warmer days that fuel their life activities. I love it all and often find myself frozen with indecision, wanting to be in dozens of different places at the same time! Anyone who has fly-fished and observed the water boiling with surface-feeding fish knows the feeling.
This post features some of my favorite photos from this magical time of year, roughly the third week of June in central New York. For the most part, the photos are random shots resulting from numerous “discovery walks” where I tried to capture the full range of natural events that represent the season.
I listened to a wild turkey gobbling this morning, weeks after the prime mating and nesting season. He seemed reluctant to let go of spring and move on to the more mundane business of summer feeding and dust bathing. If that’s the case, I share his reluctance to let go, and must preserve the memories with a season-ending photo gallery.

Commonwealth Games: Has India got its priorities right?
Delhi was tense before the Commonwealth Games opening ceremony. Roads were blocked around the big tourist sights and armed police stopped the drivers of the yellow and green auto rickshaws from dropping their passengers outside key landmarks. The popular Lodhi gardens, normally thronging with Sunday strollers and family picnics, were almost deserted bar a few guards and a handful of western tourists. The city waited with bated breath for the games to begin.
But later watching the opening ceremony, it became clear that Delhi was about to host an event that India would be proud of. The organizing committee had managed to put all the negative reports behind them and the opening ceremony went off without a hitch with fireworks, drumming and more than 7,000 athletes trouping into the stadium.
As an NGO worker in a country that is celebrating its position as global host, you could be seen to be a bit of a killjoy when trying to draw attention to what is going on away from the flash and ceremony of an event like the commonwealth games. But you do have to question whether India has got its priorities quite right.
On the Friday before the opening ceremony I went with one of Save the Children’s partners to the east of the city where hundreds of families had seen their homes destroyed when the Yamuna river flooded. As the roads were the only high ground, the pavement had become a ramshackle campsite. Crammed tightly together, roughly erected tents ran along both sides of the dual carriageway. Crawling along at Delhi-traffic speed meant any passerby could stare into these families’ homes and see just how they were living. Children sat on the bare concrete by the side of the road with no possessions, no safety and nowhere to play.
And a few kilometres away on a road that would be used by commonwealth traffic the story got even worse. Families in that part of town had also moved onto a roadbridge for higher ground. But a few days ago they were reportedly forced by the police to move off the road back to the sludge of the river bed so those travelling to the games would not have to witness their destitution.
“Even if you said you would take me to stadium to watch the games, I wouldn’t go,” said Salman, (who was unsure of his age but was likely eight or nine). ‘The games have been bad for my family. There are 12 of us and our tent is knee-deep in mud.” He used to get handouts of food from passersby, but out of sight on the river-bed nobody has come to his family’s aid for days.
Eight million people – half of Delhi’s population – live in slums and shanty towns and almost two million children die every year in India from diseases that are easy to prevent and treat. While the political will to host the games has been found, along with $6 billion to build stadiums and improve infrastructure, that same will to save children’s lives so far has not.
The budget for India’s national scheme to tackle childhood malnutrition – the Integrated Childhood Development Scheme – is only a quarter of what has been spent preparing for the commonwealth games.
Killjoy or not, it’s shameful and unjustifiable that in a country that is ecnomically booming, children like Salman are suffering the consequences. The effects of India’s growth are not reaching its poor.
