Onychomycosis is a widespread problem. Oral antifungal medications are currently the gold standard of care, but treatment failure is common and oral therapy is contraindicated in many cases. There is a need for effective treatment without the systemic complications posed by oral therapy. Laser and photodynamic therapy may have the potential to treat onychomycosis locally without adverse systemic effects; some small studies have even reported achieving clinical and mycologic cure. However, there is reason for restraint; these therapies are expensive and time-consuming. Furthermore, they may not be covered by insurance and have not been proven effective with randomized, controlled clinical trials. This paper will review current literature regarding the use of laser and photodynamic therapy as potential treatments for onychomycosis.
Psoriasis is a chronic, auto-inflammatory disease affecting millions of individuals worldwide. In addition to classic cutaneous manifestations, the condition is linked to significant co-morbidities including cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer, and psychiatric disease [1,2]. Therefore, more aggressive treatment and multi-disciplinary care is critical. Measures of disease burden (quantified by anatomic location, body surface area (BSA) of involvement, and impact on daily life) assist in determining the severity of disease and have been integral in objective assessment of treatment regimens and new drug therapies . Biologic agents have entered the clinical armamentarium as treatment options for patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis who have failed traditional systemic therapies. Three of the four FDA-approved biologic agents for psoriasis suppress TNFa mediated pathways , which are essential for granuloma formation and maintenance, key components of host defenses against intracellular pathogens . Subsequently, the increased use of these agents is accompanied by increased reporting of granulomatous infectious diseases such as tuberculosis, histoplasmosis, nocardia, and nontuberculous mycobacteria . Report of any unusual infection is therefore vitally important in the care of this immune suppressed patient population.
A combined squamomelanocytic tumor is an exceedingly rare occurrence; little is known about its pathogenesis. A definitive diagnosis can only be made via histological examination. We describe herein an 83 year-old man who was discovered to have this combined tumor and recommend the appropriate management for such a lesion.
Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP), a rare medium grade sarcoma, occasionally occurs in childhood and is even more rarely present at birth. In children, the clinical appearance may be mistaken for a vascular malformation and so delayed diagnosis is not uncommon. Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans is locally invasive and notorious for its high recurrence rate even after attempted wide local excision owing to extensive subclinical and asymmetrical extensions. In adult DFSP, Mohs Micrographic Surgery (MMS) is the treatment of choice because it offers a higher clearance rate compared to wide local excision. However, MMS may result in extended operating times owing to tissue processing and multiple stages. In children, this means a prolonged period under general anesthetic, which may be undesirable. We describe an interesting case of a 4- year-old girl diagnosed with DFSP. She underwent a modified MMS procedure in which she had two short general anesthetics. The advantage of MMS technique in which the full peripheral and deep margin of the specimen was examined.
Acanthosis nigricans (OMIM ID % 100600) is a dermatosis characterized by velvety hyperpigmentation, skin thickening, and papillomatosis. It mainly affects flexural areas. In most cases, the generalized form is related to malignancy in adults; it is rarely reported in the absence of systemic disease in children and adolescents. The present report is aimed at describing an unusual case of generalized acanthosis nigricans in a 17 year-old patient, in which, after extensive investigation (clinical, laboratorial and by imaging methods) no association with systemic disease was found.
Primary cutaneous signet-ring cell carcinoma (PCSRCC) is a rare but aggressive tumor. Our case highlights a 60-year-old man who presented with eyelid ptosis, for which he underwent multiple surgical procedures over a 3-year period prior to referral to our clinic. These procedures were complicated by scarring, delayed healing, and poor cosmetic outcome. In addition, the patient was noted to develop progressive enophthalmos. These concerning signs led to a CT scan and subsequent eyelid biopsy, which revealed a diagnosis of PCSRCC. Further management has involved an MRI and orbitotomy with biopsy revealing widespread extension of the carcinoma. Exenteration was performed to reduce the likelihood of metastasis.
There are few documented case reports of PCSRCC of the eyelid in the literature. Of the 33 published cases of PCSRCC, 27 cases involve the eyelids and the other 6 cases involve the axilla. The unique clinical features of this case will be discussed, in particular the presentation as ptosis, an otherwise commonplace complaint in the oculoplastics clinic. The surgical course and histopathologic findings will be presented. The literature regarding PCSRCC will be reviewed including demographics, management, and prognosis. Although rare, PCSRCC follows an aggressive course with characteristically delayed diagnosis. Early identification and treatment likely offer a better prognosis. Thus, description of the clinical presentation of this rare tumor may aid in recognition and earlier treatment.
Although traditionally observed in patients with end-stage renal disease and secondary hyperparathyroidism, calciphylaxis has been reported in patients with normal renal and parathyroid function. There is no evidence-based therapy available. The use of sodium thiosulfate (STS) has been increasingly described. Herein we describe two patients who responded well to this treatment.
Calcinosis cutis is a rare disorder resulting from the precipitation and deposition of insoluble calcium and phosphate salts (hydroxyapatite crystals) in the dermis and subcutaneous tissue. It is generally divided into four main groups on the basis of etiology and pathogenesis. Clinical presentation of cutaneous calcinosis cutis varies according to the diagnosis and the underlying process. We report a case of calcinosis cutis of the heel in which both the extravasation of a calcium gluconate infusion and renal failure could have promoted the development of calcinosis cutis
Preterm infant with a late presentation of blueberry muffin lesions secondary to recombinant erythropoietin
Our patient is a 26-week-old preterm female infant delivered by caesarean section secondary to severe maternal preeclampsia who had been receiving subcutaneous recombinant erythropoietin (r-EPO) for anemia of prematurity. At 8 weeks of age after 8 doses of r-EPO, the infant developed numerous non-blanching erythematous macules and patches located on the back, posterior shoulder, and posterior arms, concerning for late-onset blueberry muffin lesions. Biopsy of the lesions confirmed dermal hematopoiesis. After r-EPO was discontinued all skin lesions gradually resolved over a period of 2 weeks and never recurred.
Introduction: Medication-induced leukocytoclastic vasculitis is a small-vessel vasculitis that most commonly manifests with palpable purpuric lesions on gravity dependent areas. Development of the vasculitis occurs within weeks after the initial administration of the medication, with clearance upon withdrawal of the medication. Glyburide, a sulfonylurea medication, is used to treat non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus. We report a rare case of glyburide-associated leukocytoclastic vasculitis.
Observation: We report a 71-year-old man with type 2 diabetes mellitus who presented with palpable purpura on the lower extremities. Cutaneous biopsy revealed superficial small vessel vasculitis with IgA perivascular deposits. Further questioning revealed three prior episodes of palpable purpura after restarting the glyburide medication, with clearance upon discontinuation. We diagnosed drug-induced vasculitis related to the glyburide.
Conclusions: This case highlights a rarely reported cutaneous adverse reaction to the commonly used diabetic medication, glyburide. Physicians should consider cutaneous vasculitis as a potential side effect of glyburide.

Syringocystadenocarcinoma papilliferum (SCACP) is a rare adenexal carcinoma with only 21 cases reported in the literature. Most patients describe a long-standing mass with recent change, supporting the idea that SCACP arises from malignant transformation of pre-existing syringocystadenoma papilliferum (SCAP). Syringocystadenocarcinoma papilliferum is generally treated with wide surgical excision of the lesion and patients do exceeding well and require no systemic therapy.
Trichofolliculoma is a pilosebaceous follicle hamartoma in which several hairs are formed within single pilosebaceous unit and protrude out of single orifice. Herein we report a 45-year-old woman with a trichofolliculoma of the eyebrow.
Skin cancer in darker skin is associated with considerable morbidity and mortality. We sought to assess the clinical characteristics of cutaneous malignancy amongst Hispanic skin cancer patients and compare them to age-matched non-Hispanic Caucasians. In this retrospective study, 150 Hispanic skin cancer patients were identified from electronic medical records and age-matched to 150 non-Hispanic Caucasian controls with skin cancer. The incidence of actinic keratoses (AKs) in Hispanic skin cancer patients (34.0%) was statistically lower than age-matched non-Hispanic Caucasian skin cancer controls (61.3%, P <0.001; odds ratio, 3.08; 95% confidence interval, 1.92 - 4.93). Moreover, non-Hispanic Caucasian SCC (squamous cell cancer) controls were much more likely to report AKs (36.1%, P = 0.003) than Hispanic SCC patients (25.0%, P = 0.19). This study illustrates a lower incidence of AKs in Hispanic skin cancer patients as compared to their age-matched non-Hispanic Caucasians. The Hispanic skin malignancies present at a more advanced state and there is usually a lack of awareness in such cases. Therefore, patient knowledge and education is crucial for early detection and prevention of skin cancer in the Hispanic population.
A case of a 7-year-old girl with microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) with a skin eruption characterized by maculopapular, erythematous and purpuric lesions on the face, elbows, and knees is presented. Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibodies (ANCA) with myeloperoxidase specificity (MPO-ANCA) were identified. Chest X-ray and computed tomography scan revealed diffuse infiltrates in both lung fields, suggesting alveolar hemorrhage. Microscopic hematuria was detected but a renal biopsy showed no abnormalities. Histological examination of a skin biopsy from a purpuric papule showed leukocytoclastic vasculitis of the small vessels in the entire dermis. The patient was treated with prednisolone and mizoribine, resulting in an improvement in the skin lesions except for those on the knee.
Tinea corporis has rarely been reported in some locations such as on the breast skin as unilaterally. Herein, we present a case of bilateral tinea mammae, which has not been reported before in English language literature to our knowledge.
Grouped patterns of pigmented lesions are infrequent. Of the several reports of agminated nevi, most have been Spitz nevi or blue nevi. The distribution of these nevi is often segmental, following a dermatome or the lines of Blaschko. Most segmental nevi are not agminated and develop early in childhood . We describe a rare case of congenital agminated segmental nevi on the chest.

In order to qualify for the homestead exemption you must use that residence as your primary residence which typically means you spend a least 6 months and 1 day there in any calendar year. The effect this will have on your property taxes will vary depending on the value of the property. The homestead exemption in Florida is $50,000 so if your property is valued for property tax purposes at $100,000 your taxes if homesteaded would be about 50% when compared to what they would be in you did not homestead the property.
If your property is valued at $250,000 the percentage of property tax increase would be much smaller. Remember also that in Florida the assessed valuation of a homesteaded property cannot be raised more than 3% a year and this is not true of a non-homesteaded property so this can also have a huge impact on future tax bills once we start seeing some meaningful appreciation which is still probably at least 2 to 3 years down the road in most areas of Florida.

Don’t mistake The Hu for a novelty act or anything; they are just a great band in general.”
–Andrew Sacher, Brooklyn Vegan, 9/15/19
“The room was pulsing with an indescribable sonic energy, akin to that of a swaying heartbeat pumping its way through the crowd to the beat of synchronized drum hits and Mongolian fiddles. Song after song, the packed crowd moved at the fingertips of the brotherhood before them. It was a mesmerizing performance.”
–Hunter Walwaski, The Concordian (Montreal), 9/24/19

On Tuesday night, Fox News aired an hour-long interview with former Biden family business associate Tony Bobulinski.
Like the Hunter Biden laptop story, the Bobulinski story was widely ignored by America’s left wing, mainstream media.

The New York Times didn’t run with the revelations on their front page, CNN didn’t cover the story or have their own take on the details, it wasn’t covered widely on the morning shows on the main networks.
In fact, you might never know it existed if you didn’t watch Fox or read other conservative-leaning media outlets.
The interview detailed a business transaction involving agents of the Chinese government, the Biden family and confirming that an email saying 10% would be “held by H for the big guy” was a reference to Joe Biden.
Some of the information had been previously reported by the New York Post, and ignored by other media, but Tuesday night’s interview saw a party to the deals speak publicly.

Polls have closed in the four states holding primaries Tuesday, with insurgent candidates aiming to continue a yearlong trend of upending establishment candidates.
That dynamic is on full display in Colorado, where Democrat Andrew Romanoff has caught up in the polls to incumbent Sen. Michael Bennet in the Senate primary race. Despite Bennet's White House backing, Romanoff has been credited by political observers with running a stronger ground game and building a stronger connection with local movers and shakers in the Colorado political scene.
Of all the elections, the outcome in Colorado may resonate most for the Obama administration.
Not only did President Obama campaign for Bennet and star in a TV campaign ad, but the White House last year dangled the prospect of a federal job before Romanoff in lieu of running against the incumbent. Bennet was appointed to the Senate in 2009 by Gov. Bill Ritter after the White House tapped former Sen. Ken Salazar for interior secretary. Former President Bill Clinton has put his clout behind Romanoff, making robo-calls on behalf of the candidate in the final hours of the race.
On the GOP side, the candidate with establishment backing is also in trouble. Former Lt. Gov. Jane Norton has earned the support of Arizona Sen. John McCain and the National Republican Senatorial Committee, but trails in the polls against Tea Party favorite Ken Buck.
Norton has been trying to separate herself from the Washington insider label Buck's campaign pinned on her.
The other big race in the state is the Republican gubernatorial primary. Ritter, a Democrat, is retiring and Republicans Scott McInnis and Dan Maes are competing for the GOP nomination.
Both held double-digit leads in hypothetical matchups against Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper, who is running unopposed for the Democratic nomination, until controversies surrounding both candidates started to eat into their poll numbers. McInnis was accused of lifting writings about water issues and then blamed his assistant for the problem. Maes, a former businessman, paid out tens of thousands of dollars for violating campaign finance laws.
Former Republican Rep. Tom Tancredo has announced that he will run for governor as a third-party candidate in the fall.
The races in Connecticut have also attracted plenty of attention. Former wrestling executive Linda McMahon has the lead in the polls over two other candidates for the GOP Senate nomination, but that hasn't kept the contest from getting nasty. One of her opponents, stockbroker Peter Schiff, released an ad that repeatedly featured a video clip of McMahon kicking a man in the groin -- a skit from her days with World Wrestling Entertainment. Polls show Schiff trailing behind both McMahon and former Rep. Rob Simmons. The winner of that race will face off against Democratic state Attorney General Richard Blumenthal, who has been under fire for appearing to misrepresent his military record.
The candidates are competing for the seat being left by retiring Sen. Chris Dodd.
In the state governor race, the millionaire businessman who nearly ousted Sen. Joe Lieberman in 2006 is aiming for a comeback. Ned Lamont is facing off Tuesday against former Stamford Mayor Dan Malloy in the Democratic primary. The latest Quinnipiac University poll released Monday showed Lamont leading by 3 points -- within the margin of error.
Lamont beat Lieberman in the Senate Democratic primary four years ago but lost after Lieberman ran as an independent in the general election. He threw his name in the ring for governor after Gov. M. Jodi Rell decided not to seek re-election.
On the GOP side, former ambassador Tom Foley is leading Lt. Gov. Michael Fedele in the polls.
The race for governor in Minnesota is a scramble after incumbent Gov. Tim Pawlenty announced he would not seek a third term.
Former Sen. Mark Dayton, former state Rep. Matt Entenza and House Speaker Margaret Anderson Kelliher are all competing for the Democratic nomination. Meanwhile, state Rep. Tom Emmer is the favorite on the Republican side.
The 63-year-old Dayton's lengthy past in Minnesota politics -- he first ran statewide in 1982 -- gave him broad recognition among the party faithful. A millionaire himself, his campaign's cornerstone was a pledge to make the top 10 percent of Minnesota income earners pay more in taxes to help plug a budget deficit.
Entenza, 48, put more than $5 million into his bid, most from a family fortune.
Kelliher hoped the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party endorsement she won at the April state convention would give her a ground-game edge against her monied opponents. The 42-year-old promoted a jobs plan tied to additional public borrowing. A primary victory would make Kelliher the first woman to win a major party's nomination for Minnesota governor.
The Independence Party, made famous by former Gov. Jesse Ventura, had a five-candidate primary. Only two, former public relations executive Tom Horner and publisher Rob Hahn, mounted serious campaigns.
And in Georgia, several congressional runoffs are being held.
Newly elected Rep. Tom Graves is trying to keep his seat in a race against GOP challenger Lee Hawkins. Tuesday's runoff is the fourth time since May that voters in the 9th Congressional District in north Georgia have cast ballots.
Rob Woodall and Jody Hice are vying for the GOP nomination for an open seat in the 7th Congressional District. Voters in eastern Georgia's 12th District will also decide whether Republican Ray McKinney or Carl Smith is nominated to challenge Democratic Rep. John Barrow in the fall.
Meanwhile, Republicans Mike Crane and Deborah Honeycutt are running against each other for the GOP nomination in the 13th Congressional District.

An average of less than 30 children a day have attended the new paediatric urgent care centre in Blanchardstown since it opened.
It is the first phase of the national children's hospital project, which is set to cost €1.7bn.
The facility in Connolly Hospital in Dublin opened at the end of July and caters for children with minor injuries and illnesses.
Because of a shortage of senior doctors, it opens only from 10am to 5pm, Monday to Friday.
According to details released under the Freedom of Information Act, 2,756 children presented to the centre between July 31 and December 13, which is an average of 28 a day.
Dr Ciara Martin, a consultant in paediatric emergency medicine with Children's Health Ireland which runs the centre, said there has been a big increase in attendances recently.
Dr Martin said: "Our numbers have doubled in the last six weeks and we are seeing up to 60-80 children a day now.
"When we opened we were hoping to see about 70 children a day over 16 hours, but now we are seeing about 60-8- over the seven hours of opening."
The average amount of time spent by patients in the urgent care centre is just under two-and-a-half hours.
Half of those seen were aged five or less, while just over a third were aged between six and 12.
The remaining 397 children were over 13 years old.

New has never really appealed to me.
I have friend that actually believes that she should always be the first person to live in a house. Or own a car. Or a leather jacket.
Where’s the fun in that? Old things have patina, history, charm, and a character that’s all their own.
“New” doesn’t have any of those things…..not by a mile.
Vintage Christmas decorations have something even more special because they were a part of someone’s holiday celebrations for decades. Each and every item was lovingly wrapped in tissue, boxed, and stored in an attic/drawer/garage until that special moment for a few weeks out of every year when it could shine. Usually these pieces were even passed down through generations.
It’s this history that’s sadly missing from the decorative assortment at your local Pottery Barn. etc.
It’s been a non-stop avalanche of accumulating old Christmas decorations for the past 30 years. These things come from garage sales, trash piles, eBay, thrift stores, and gifts from friends. (In fact, most everyone I know is aware of my obsessive tendencies, and has, at some point, contributed to it. “These used to be my grandmother’s,” hands me a shopping bag full of old glass goodies,” No one in my family wanted them, but I knew that you would.”)
Here’s a few of the random far-from-valuable vintage Christmas things I’ve accumulated over the decades.
I know that I’ve already told the story of the first Zip-loc of old Polish glass balls that I scored at a local thrift store. (I passed them up, and returned a full week later to find they were still there. Kismet. They were meant for me to have.) But have I ever mentioned the stockpile I found in a dumpster soon after that? Well, I did. About a hundred weathered, beautiful glass balls that someone in my apartment complex had grown tired of. Can you imagine? These things just seem to find their way to me. Mostly Polish, from companies like Fantasia Glass but there’s quite a few American Shiny Brites too. I have more old glass ornaments than I care to count now…..or could possibly display.
And I still cherish every one.
There’s no denying the complete charm of these vintage lights. My star, which made it to the top of the tree this year was made by the Noma company probably in the 1950’s. My Santa is also from the 1950’s and was manufactured by the Glolite company. He works equally as well as a topper, wall hanger, or just resting on a table top. I got him from another member of my Christmas Support Group. It’s kind of like a 12 step support group, except instead of saying, “Take it one day at a time,” they say things like, “What do you mean you only have a 5 war-time Shiny Brites? I have 5 dozen……in the original boxes.” So I end up with 6 different tree toppers, and only one tree that requires a topper.
Wooden Polish Dolls;
Ok, technically these aren’t really Christmas décor and I think they were mostly made for tourists, but as a little boy I remember my Mother buying two of them at a hobby shop in Indiana. (Our family is Polish and they reminded her of her childhood Christmases.) They lived on our family Christmas tree for every year that I can remember until my mother passed them to me a while back. I usually stick them in a stocking so I can see them quickly from the sofa.
Those first two were my Mother’s, the other three I have rescued from junk shops over the years. It just feels like they should be together.
This passion is mostly Jamie’s. Although, to be honest, they warmly remind me of Christmases at my grandparents who had a row plastic soldiers standing guard over their front porch every December. One year, my family flew from Atlanta to Toledo to spend Christmas day at their farm. I was more than a little distraught to learn that Santa couldn’t locate us that far away from Atlanta….but it more than made up for it when we returned home to find that he had visited while we were in Ohio. (My parents did quite a toddler juggling act to make that happen) And I think of that particular Christmas every time I see a front yard full of blow mold décor.
Children’s Christmas Books;
No, I don’t have any kids. Not that I’m aware of anyway. (Wink, Wink, Nudge, Nudge) But I still love to dig through thrift store bookshelves looking for these. Especially for only 50 cents each. I can’t imagine how anyone could ever part with a copy of “How the Grinch Stole Christmas”, but I find them all the time and I’m more than happy to pass the story of the Grinch along to any of the young children in my life……..Or stash one away for myself.
I’ve been charmed by these little houses all my life. I can’t imagine what the Japanese factory workers must have thought of Americans while crafting these tiny houses for our five & dime stores. Dusted with mica powder snow and with cellophane windows that glowed when a light bulb was inserted, they were meant to create a “snow village” under the Christmas tree. But honestly, to me they look even better just tucked into the branches.
Milk Glass Figural Bulbs;
If you’ve never seen these – and I hadn’t until just a few years ago – you have been missing out. In the 1930’s, when electric lights found their way onto American Christmas trees, these kinds of bulbs were all the rage. Usually sold in themed character sets; like Disney, popular cartoons, or nursery rhymes. They all but vanished in the mid-1950’s, probably something to do with the trend for a more “modern” look. Because most of them fit a now un-standard C-6 socket, they were tossed decades ago. It’s a bit of a treasure hunt to find them now, but when I do, – usually for just a few bucks each – most of them……still light up. (I just found that fat snowman today.)
None of these things are what I would consider pedigreed “antiques”…and far from it.
It’s mostly just junk.
But junk with an undeniable Christmas soul………
I’ve never been a fan of Christmas tree skirts.
I mean, they’re perfectly fine for some people. (Ladies mostly) but I prefer the illusion of a potted tree, maybe resting inside of a bucket, or a basket, or crate, or even a whiskey barrel.…
Like we’ve done for the past 7 years.
But, this year; New Christmas tree = new container = new idea.
I started in my slightly hoarded garage. With a stack of wood scraps.
I cut a pine 1X10 into 4 equal sides of 20″ and used a brad nailer to attach them overlapping like so. My tree stand is about 18 inches wide. So 19 inches inside my box should be exactly enough to hide it, and all the ugly extension cords, quite nicely
Once the basic box was made, I found a handful of 1X2 to use a trim. I cut 8 of them at 22 1/4″, with a 45 degree beveled angle.
I used a brad nailer to attach the trim pieces to the bottom edge of my box with the beveled corners lining up over the sems.
I repeated the process along the top edge with the 4 other 22 1/4″ trim pieces.
I wanted a lip on the top of my box, and since I had a 1X3 board……1X3 it is. These 4 pieces I cut to 24 1/4″. Again, I mitered all the edges at 45 degree angles….like so.
And then attached them to the top edge with that handy brad nailer like so.
Looking down on my box, this trim gives it a nice clean finish. I know that you’re thinking; “That thing needs a bottom.” But it doesn’t. Trust me….that’s just extra work.
I used a wood filler to fill all the holes from the brads. This isn’t really necessary, especially if your finished box will look aged. But I would recommend this if you’re going to paint it a solid color. Your choice.
Speaking of painting, Jamie had suggested that it would look really cool if the tree was coming from a stack of old Coke crates…..like these,
Well, it just so happens that I had a quart of what I would consider “Coca-Cola” red……Ralph Lauren “Stateroom Red” actually. In flat latex.
If you’ve never dry-brushed something before, I think the technique is pretty self-explanatory. You simply apply as little paint as humanly possible to the surface with a brush. I want the finished box to look weathered and rough, so this is pretty close to perfect for me.
Well, almost perfect. Just to make it look even more aged, I roughed it up more with some 80 grit sandpaper.
The sandpaper really exposed all the edges to the natural pine underneath, kinda like on my inspiration Coke crates.
And there you have it, a finished box for the bottom of our Christmas tree.
Way more, much better.
Are y’all on Pinterest?
It’s the site where “mommy bloggers” share their ideas.
And me? Well, yes, I have to admit that I’m also guilty of occasionally browsing Pinterest for occasional inspiration. (Or…….PIN-spiration as they call it.)
My latest find; These über charming Black Cat Cookies.
They are soft, cake-like, and super easy to make. The best part; you don’t even need a cookie cutter. (Finally found a decent reason to buy those waxy candy corns too.)
Here’s what ya need:
- 1 Cup Butter – softened
- 1 Cup Sugar
- 1 Cup Brown Sugar
- 2 Eggs
- 3 Tsps Vanilla Extract
- 3 1/2 Cups Flour
- 1 Cup Cocoa Powder
- 1/2 Tsp Salt
- 1/2 Tsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 Tsp Baking Soda
Mix the first 5 ingredients in a mixer on low untill blended. Sift the next 5 ingredients together and slowly add to the wet mixture 1 cup at a time, while continuing to mix on low. Once all the solids are well-combined, remove the dough from the bowl, wrap in wax paper, and chill for about 2 hours.
Roll the chilled dough into 1 1/2 inch balls and arrange on a Silpat covered baking sheet. I baked 6 at a time because I wasn’t sure how much they would spread. Not too much actually.
Use the bottom of a glass to press each ball flat.
You will ‘prolly wanna powder the glass bottom with a little cocoa to keep it from sticking.
Pinch the tops of the flattened dough circles into ears….
…and use a fork to press in whiskers,
’till they look something like this. Easy, right?
Bake – in a preheated 350 degree oven – for exactly 10 minutes.
When they come out of the oven, immediately press the candies into the warm cookies; 2 candy corn eyes and I used an M&M for the nose. (You could also add the candies before baking, but they will melt a little. It’s your choice…works either way)
Let the cookies cool on a baking rack and enjoy.
Like I said,
PUURRRRRfect with a glass of milk.
Do y’all know Andy Tuohy?
Even if his name isn’t familiar, his graphic design work should be….
Here’s my favorite: “Great Modern Artists from A to Z”
Each artist is drawn in their personal style.
Like Frida Kahlo with decorative flowers in her hair and Diego Rivera resting just above her unibrow;
or David Hockney with a lit cigarette and signature glasses emerging from a swimming pool;
How about surrealist Salvador Dali with marching ants and a melted clock;
And linear primary colored Piet Mondrian;
and Roy Lichtenstein (pronounced like Frankenstein) in all his pixelated glory;
I have to be honest,
most some of these other artists were new to me…..and I took an art history class once, 30 years ago…..but it’s occupied my afternoon learning about them.
Check out the rest of Andy’s work on his site.
It’s hard to write about a trip to Key West without some deja vu, after all we’ve been there (and I’ve written about it) several times. Like here, and here. But Key West is the one place where we both can completely unplug.
Shook thing up a little this time and stayed at The Southernmost Beach Resort. Highly recommend.
So without a lot of boring details, here’s a taste of our week on that weird little island…
Now doesn’t that look relaxing?


A man who died after being shot Saturday in Del Paso Heights has been identified by the Sacramento County Coroner’s Office as 30-year-old Rafael Cervantes Ortuno of Sacramento.
Sacramento police said Cervantes Ortuno suffered a gunshot wound at a home in the 200 block of Dewitt Court.
Officers were called to the home about 6 p.m. Cervantes Ortuno was first tended to by Sacramento Fire Department medical personnel before being taken to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Crime scene investigators and homicide detectives responded to the scene. No further information about the killing was available on Tuesday from police.


World Bank has said that governments around the world has set a new record in bureaucracy breaking efforts for the domestic private sector, implementing 314 reforms in a year as against the previous all-time high of 290 reforms two years ago.
The World Bank has said that private sector is key to creating sustainable economic growth and ending poverty in Nigeria and around the world.
The World Bank in its Reform Report on Doing Business 2019 released yesterday stated: “governments around the world set a new record in bureaucracy busting efforts for the domestic private sector, implementing 314 business reforms over the past year”.
USADF, All-On partner to promote off-grid energy solutions in Nigeria
The reforms, carried out in 128 economies, benefit small and medium enterprises as well as entrepreneurs, enabling job creation and stimulating private investment. “This year’s reforms surpass the previous all-time high of 290 reforms two years ago” the report stated.
Commenting on the report, World Bank Group President Jim Yong Kim: said “The private sector is key to creating sustainable economic growth and ending poverty around the world.
“Fair, efficient, and transparent rules, which Doing Business promotes, are the bedrock of a vibrant economy and entrepreneurship environment. It’s critical for governments to accelerate efforts to create the conditions for private enterprise to thrive and communities to prosper.”


National Fentanyl Prevention Across the Nation & It's worth noting that more than 100,000 Americans died from drug-related deaths last year alone on Sunday, which marked National Awareness Day. . Fentanyl, his 50 times more potent opioid analogue of heroin.
When the five-year death toll from fentanyl reached levels last seen in a world war, the U.S. A WAR MUST BE STARTED Cartels manufacture and trafficdrugs and work with Chinese organized crime syndicate partners. Victims deserve action to put the cartels and triads out of business once and for all.
Drug Enforcement Officer Ann Milgram explains: We are finding these deadly drugs in every state. In cities, suburbs, rural areas and communities across the country.
Mexican cartels, especially Sinaloa and Jalisco has partnered with the Triad of China to transport fentanyl precursors from China to Mexico, where the lethal substances are manufactured, often with the help of Chinese chemists.Fentanyl Filled pills (everything from counterfeit oxycodone to Aleve) and drugs like heroin and methamphetamine are secreted in the US and Canada and distributed on the streets.
Then the money is laundered. One of his biggest money laundering schemes involves a student from China who is here on an educational visa. According to the DEA, thousands of students are getting drug money. They bring Samsonite cash to Chinese money brokers operating in restaurants, travel agencies and other outlets.
A portion of the profits are then transferred from his WeChat to the cartels and triads via Chinese banks. Other funds are put into casinos by Chinese gamblers who buy chips and exchange them for bank checks. The remainder is split between U.S. real estate (part of black market investment schemes to extract gold from China) and illegal marijuana cultivation, particularly illegal marijuana cultivation (which undermineslegalweed production and sales). Money is laundered into business.
It is huge and constitutes the largest money laundering scheme in world history. Billions of drug profits are being invested away from the crest of the death wave committed by China and Mexico.
Why the Biden Department of Justice did not make prosecuting this conspiracy a top priority is a mystery. Laws like RICO are tailor-made to enforce the cartels and criminal gangs at the center of this nightmare, colluding banks, communication and payment instruments like WeChat and SnapChat, Chinese money brokers and students. .
Additionally, you can hunt down and arrest kingpins operating in Mexico and Asia. In fact, one of the biggest players in China's organized crime in North America and Asia, his Canada-based Tse Chi Lop (a.k.a. "El Chapo of Asia"), was announced in January in the United States, Australia and the Netherlands. arrested in a joint operation. His extradition from the Netherlands to Australia is pending. If Tse cooperates, the entire criminal enterprise could be exposed and put down.
In addition to having DOJ do its job and prosecute, a valuable (albeit less diplomatic) too) I have an idea. Immediately, permanently and without exception, revoke the visas of all Chinese “students” who finance drug cartels. And sanction Chinese companies involved in the illegal export of fentanyl precursors and financial players involved in cartel money laundering.
Finally, the hundreds of thousands of American families who lost loved ones to synthetic opioids should be allowed to sue the Chinese government to obtain financial revenge for their horrific personal injury.
China is waging an anti-opium war against the West, with American society as its primary target. Defeating China in that war will not be easy, but it is far better to try than to do nothing seriously and accept the deaths of 100,000 children each year.

“Hallowed Be Thy Name” is a song by Iron Maiden, written by bassist Steve Harris, and is the eighth and final track from the 1982 studio album The Number of the Beast. It has been acclaimed as one of the greatest heavy metal songs of all time.
The live version of the song from the live album A Real Dead One was released as a single in October 4th, 1993, and was the last single to feature vocalist Bruce Dickinson until 2000’s “The Wicker Man”.
A section of the lyrics are lifted from Beckett’s 1973 song “Life’s Shadow”. Iron Maiden manager Rod Smallwood was the agent for Beckett and a teenage Steve Harris saw the band play this song live.
Harris and Murray settled with one of the credited songwriters, Robert Barton. The other songwriter,
Brian Ingham, has sued Iron Maiden for his share of the profits from the song. Ingham was unaware of the matter until 2011 and Barton claimed to be the sole songwriter during the original settlement.
On 12 March 2018, it was reported that the band had settled the case out of court.
The group’s lawyers had argued that Harris initially used the lyrics as a placeholder and did not have time to change them before the album’s release.
A spokesperson for the band states that they settled out of court for pragmatic reasons and to avoid escalating legal fees.

A record proportion of Scottish property investors are selling up in the face of “anti-landlord policies” imposed under Nicola Sturgeon.
Property investors now make up 12pc of all home sellers in Scotland, up from 10pc last year, according to estate agents Hamptons
This is the highest level since its records began in 2010.
While the landlord-sell off is slowing down in England and Wales, in Scotland it is accelerating.
Purchases by Scottish landlords have also fallen to a record low, at just 6pc of all sales – lower than in Wales or any region in England.
David Fell, of Hamptons estate agents, said rent controls brought in under the former first minister were a key factor driving the exodus, saying: “What was introduced as a temporary freeze in Scottish rents increasingly looks like a permanent one.
“And with the Scottish government consulting on extending rent control from within tenancies to between them, it’s likely to accelerate the shortage of rental homes.”
He said Scottish landlords with long-term tenants have only been able to pass on a fraction of their rising costs, such as higher mortgage rates, for more than a year.
Mr Fell added: “The longer the cap is in place, the wider the gap between what most tenants are paying and the market rate becomes, pushing more landlords into the red.
“These investors face the grim choice of covering a loss from their own pocket or selling up, leaving their tenants to try to find another home at a far higher rent.”
With more Scottish landlords already leaving the market than anywhere else in the country, the number of rental homes on the Scottish market stands 45pc below 2019 levels, compared to a 29pc drop in England.
John Blackwood, chief executive of the Scottish Association of Landlords, said the number of private rental properties would only grow as a result of the Scottish government’s “anti-landlord policies”, which include plans to make rent controls permanent.
He added: “With local authorities in Scotland declaring housing emergencies, the Scottish Government needs to have a major rethink of how it works with those in the private rented sector and develop a credible policy that is acceptable to the market and stops the decline in much needed rented accommodation.”
Elsewhere, the landlord sell-off is slowing down. Across Great Britain, the share of homes sold by a landlord has fallen from 16pc in 2022 to 14pc this year, Hamptons said. Investors are on course to sell 139,820 buy-to-lets across Great Britain in 2023, 53,000 fewer than in 2022 and 62,000 less than in 2021 when landlord sales peaked.
Meanwhile, separate data from property website Rightmove showed asking prices for homes dropped by 1.7pc (£6,088) this month – the largest November drop in five years.
Sales agreed are 10pc below 2019 levels and the “frenzied” market during the pandemic appears to have ended, Rightmove said.
The Scottish Government has defended its rent controls previously, saying its legislative changes had “led the way at a time when rents have been rising across the UK, stabilising rents to help tenants to stay in their homes”.
Rents rising faster in Scotland than London as Sturgeon’s war on landlords backfires

How many moles of solute per litre of solution? The importance of visualisation.
There are a number of different ways that the concentration of solutions can be expressed. In this module, I will focus on the most common of these, called the molarity.
Real understanding (rather than simply substitution into mathematical equations) can be enhanced by visualising how close, on average, are the molecules of solute in a solution.
The molarity of a solution (also called the molar concentration), for which we use the symbol c, is defined as the amount (in moles) of solute per litre of solution – expressed by the relationship
in which V is the volume of the solution, and n is the amount (in moles) of solute in that volume of solution.
The unit of this measure of concentration is mol L-1, although sometimes the shorter form, M, is used.
So, for a 0.100 molar solution of sucrose in water, we write
and the label that we would put on the container would be
The mechanics of calculations using equation (1) are straightforward. However, teachers are aware of two common problems that students have in application of this equation (and the alternative form, n = c × V):
The essence of this module is that these problems can be minimised by visualising the molecules of solute dispersed among the molecules of solvent.
And this can be enhanced by thinking about the concept of concentration not mathematically through the definition given above, but visually in terms of how close the solute molecules are, on average.
The closer the solute molecules are to each other (on average), the higher is the concentration.
With this in mind, perhaps it is easier to recognise the following:
So, for a given volume of solution (500 mL in the graphic below), the more dissolved solute in the solution, the higher is the concentration:
And, to achieve a given concentration of solute (say 0.020 mol L-1, as in the graphic below), the larger the volume of solution, the more dissolved solute it must contain:

Several weeks ago, a group of about 1,000 people left Honduras heading north to either Mexico or the United States.
They claimed they were seeking asylum from the violence and poverty in their homeland.
As the caravan marched north Guatemala and into Mexico, the caravan grew to nearly 8,000 and continues to grow.
If the migrants are truly just seeking safe asylum then why are not refusing the asylum offers being made by the Mexican government?
Mexico has offered those in the caravan asylum, healthcare, places to live and jobs and yet thousands appear to be rejecting Mexico’s offer as they continue to head north to the United States border.
Liberty Unyielding – Thanks to the kindness of strangers — including Mexican police, who are flagging down civilian vehicles on the highway and cramming them full of “caravan” members — the first wave of migrants from Central America should arrive at the U.S. border much sooner than I recently predicted. Most, if not all, of them will be seeking asylum, and toward that end they will come prepared. They will have been coached by liberal activists and immigration lawyers on how to show “credible fear” of persecution if they are sent back to their country of origin, which is the only grounds for receiving asylum.
They have been that told the odds of succeeding are slim — fewer than 10% of those who apply are granted asylum — but they’re willing to take that chance, not to mention a trek of 2,000 miles that is often fraught with danger, all with an eye toward securing a sliver of that sweet, sweet American pie.
One almost has to admire their tenacity until one learns that they could have spared themselves that sun-baked march and won a better life much closer to home. From NBC News via the Associated Press: …
The only thing the migrants are seeking is illegal entrance in the United States.
They are counting on Democrats to allow them into the country and then give them sanctuary and eventual citizenship.
They’ve heard how illegal aliens are given free medical care, free education and so much more and they want the promises they hear from Democrats.
Caravans like this will continue to come to our border until America can build a wall and effectively stop any further illegal immigration.

In a significant shift in the retail sector, major US stores like Costco and Walmart are moving away from self-checkout systems in response to customer feedback. This development in 2024 marks a notable departure from the increasing automation trend in retail, underscoring the importance of human interaction in the shopping experience.
The decision by these retail giants is based on customer dissatisfaction with self-checkout machines, which have been criticized for being slow, prone to errors, and impersonal. Walmart, specifically, has removed self-checkouts from three of its stores in Albuquerque, New Mexico, highlighting the company’s commitment to addressing customer preferences.
This change reflects a broader trend in the retail industry where customer experience is prioritized. In an age dominated by online shopping, physical stores are recognizing the value of human interaction and personalized service. The move away from self-checkouts also addresses concerns about the impact of automation on employment and the overall shopping experience.
The shift also hints at the evolving nature of consumer behavior. As online shopping offers convenience, physical stores are finding new ways to attract and retain customers, with a focus on enhancing in-store experiences. This move by Costco and Walmart could signal a broader industry trend where more retailers reconsider the role of technology in customer service.

I am (Tanis Leblanc) a Certifed Life Coach, Usui/Reiki Master, Craniosacral Therapist, Registered Massage Therapist (RMT), Intuitive Card Reader, Medium, Akashic Records Reader, Pranic Healer, and Access Consciousness Bars practitioner.
I started to notice my intuitive and Mediumship abilities at the age of three when I mentioned to my parents that people visited me in the night. I especially remember Monks in the hall chanting every night. I felt comforted by their presence. I could sense that my sharing of this information scared my parents so I shut down my intuitive abilities until I was in my teenage years.
I started my healing journey in my early twenties by becoming a Reiki Practitioner and later a Reiki Master of Usui Reiki and Karuna Reiki (Karuna Reiki works with the Arch Angels and Ascended Masters).
I continued on this journey by taking many classes and workshops to add to my healing abilities.
I have always known Numerology and Angel card reading. I started to do readings for people with cards and added Numerology to the readings. I found that the Numerology helped me to get in-touch with the person’s energy. I then found that people that have crossed over started to come into the readings to give messages to their loved ones. This is very helpful for people.
I added workshops on “How to meet your Guides and Angels”, “Reiki classes”, “The Four Clairs, Manifestation workshops, Crystal Healing and Manifestation, as well as, other workshops.
I realized I needed to learn more Communication Skills so I went to College for two years to become a Certified Life Coach. I worked with women in groups for eight years teaching Life Skills. We sat in circles for a 105 hour program learning how to communicate affectively. I integrate this learning in my readings and Energy healing sessions now.
I then started to learn Craniosacral Therapy to help people to release trapped emotion and trauma in the body, tissues and organs. It was a challenge to learn the Anatomy and Physiology, so I went back to college for two years to get my Registered Massage Therapy(RMT) license. I started to really pay attention to what is put in the body and supplements for health after this course.
I started studying Access Consciousness Therapies, especially an Access Consciousness Bars session.
The Bars are 32 points on the head when gently touched release old belief systems, patterns and pain. This powerful one hour session changes your whole world and life.
My latest learning over the last year has been The Akashic Records. The Akashic Records are where our files are kept between lifetimes. Reading the records has helped with my intuitive readings and healing sessions. I have many more insights into people’s lives shown to me by their Masters, Teachers and Loved ones that have crossed over.
My journey has been one of helping and teaching people from all walks of life.

You may have heard about some remarks by Rep. John Fleming (R-LA), who told a Republican women’s club that the November elections are a choice between Christianity and godlessness. Here’s what he said:
We are either going to go down the socialist road and become like western Europe and create, I guess really a godless society, an atheist society. Or we’re going to continue down the other pathway where we believe in freedom of speech, individual liberties and that we remain a Christian nation. So we’re going to have to win that battle, we’re going to have to solve that argument before we can once again reach across and work together on things.
You can find a similar statement on Rep. Fleming’s website, on a page headlined “America’s Religious Heritage and Religious Freedom” (emphasis added; pay close attention to how he uses the words “rights” and “freedom”):
The American people, in the vast majority, are a profoundly religious people. We must never allow the noisy liberal minority and radical groups like the ACLU to impose their secular vision on the majority. We must resist the oppression of religious liberty.
We must never allow the Liberal, anti-God, anti-religious freedom minority to remove the words Under God from the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag. We must never allow them to abolish our National Motto: In God We Trust.
The Ten Commandments are the very foundation of the American system of law and justice. I will vigorously defend the rights to display the Ten Commandments in our schools, city halls, courthouses, and other public venues. He will stand up for the right of public officials to acknowledge God.

Rep. Fleming is, of course, is not just revising history (the Ten Commandments are not the “very foundation of the American system of law and justice,” for example); he is turning the founder’s concept of “rights” on its head. The guys who wrote the Constitution added the Bill of Rights as limitations on government so that government cannot deprive individual citizens of their rights. Among their concerns was that a religious faction might gain control of government and use government to force their beliefs and practices on everyone. As James Madison wrote in Federalist #10:
If a faction consists of less than a majority, relief is supplied by the republican principle, which enables the majority to defeat its sinister views by regular vote. It may clog the administration, it may convulse the society; but it will be unable to execute and mask its violence under the forms of the Constitution. When a majority is included in a faction, the form of popular government, on the other hand, enables it to sacrifice to its ruling passion or interest both the public good and the rights of other citizens.
Madison goes on to say that there are two ways to prevent a majority faction from tyrannizing a minority. One way is to somehow prevent people from forming passionate opinions and interests that cause them to form factions. The other is to prevent the effects of factions, depriving them of the means to tyrannize the minority. And the eventual remedy was the Bill of Rights, which lists stuff that government may not do even if a majority wants to do it.
In other words, putting limits on the power of government is the chief means to prevent large factions from seizing the means to tyrannize everyone else. In the case of religion, government may not interfere with everyone’s free exercise of religion, which is the same thing as saying a majority religious faction may not use government to interfere with other peoples’ free exercise of religion. (See also Jonathan Turley, “James Madison and the Mujahedeen.”)
But “rights” according to Rep. Fleming is the right of the majority faction to maintain tribal dominance by erecting its totems in government buildings (the Ten Commandments in courthouses) and to force everyone to participate in its religious rituals (prayers at graduation ceremonies and football games).
I think too many Americans have no idea what “rights” are. They throw the word around a lot, but they have no idea what it means. As in the Park51 controversy, even people who pay lip service to the rights of a Sufi congregation to build an Islamic center on their own property seem to think that others have a “right” to stop them by force, either legal or physical. In this context, “right” seems to mean “power.”
See also the last part of Fleming’s web page:
The Constitution gives Congress the authority to limit the jurisdiction of federal judges. We must stop radical judges from legislating from the bench, destroying revered American religious traditions and religious symbols that have been part of American life for 230 years.
Limit the jurisdiction of federal judges? The Constitution gave Congress the authority to establish federal courts inferior to the Supreme Court, but it doesn’t give Congress the power to take authority away from the courts. Again, there’s much waving around of the Constitution without actually understanding it. (See “Truth and Totems.”)


The Harlequin lovebirds are going to be parents.
Quest — one half of a pair of rare peregrine falcons, who fell in love on a ledge across from the headquarters of the largest producer of romance novels in the world — laid her first egg Tuesday afternoon.
Burnt orange and speckled, it was spotted by the executive assistant to Harlequin's CEO. Employees at their offices in North York set up telescopes to watch over the birds last week.
“Delight and hysteria!” said CEO Donna Hayes of the mood. The avid bird watcher was the first person to spot the flirting falcons.
On Tuesday, Quest, who hails from Rochester, N.Y., sat close to her egg. Her mate, Kendal, born across from Toronto’s King Edward hotel in 2009, has been bringing her meals of swallow and pigeon, as well as chasing off unwanted suitors. Earlier in the day, another male peregrine encroached on their scrape, the equivalent of a nest.
“The boys fight over the girls,” said Mark Nash, founder of the Canadian Peregrine Foundation. “Kendal drove him off very successfully,” by fighting with him in the air.
Peregrines can lay up to five eggs over the course of about a week. “If we're lucky, we hopefully will see a few more,” added Hayes.
Once Quest lays her second last egg, she’ll begin to “incubate,” or stay put, for between 33 and 35 days while waiting for them to hatch.
The foundation is trying to install a nest tray — filled with pea-sized round pebbles — on the bird’s 5th storey ledge to help protect them from rolling off and provide shelter from rain and wind.
The first adorably fuzzy hatchling will, fittingly, be named Harlequin.

Due to the rapid progresses in segmented/pixelated detector developments combined with the state-of-the-art aberration correction technologies, atomic-resolution differential phase contrast (DPC) imaging in scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) is now becoming feasible. It has been shown that atomic resolution DPC STEM can visualize atomic electric field, the field between positively charged atomic nucleus and negatively charged surrounding electron clouds [1-3]. In this study, we use high-speed segmented type detector combined with a center of mass detection method  to quantitatively image atomic electric field of atomic columns in crystalline materials and even inside individual single atoms. We show that the (projected) atomic electric field points outward from the center of the atomic columns very clearly, reflecting the presence of positive atomic nucleus and negative surrounding electrons. In this talk, current status and prospects for aberration-corrected DPC STEM with high-speed segmented detector will be discussed. This work was supported by SENTAN, JST, and the JSPS KAKENHI Grant number JP17H01316.

A little over a month ago, Department of Human Services head Jerry Foxhoven resigned his position apparently in lieu of being terminated. Once again Iowa’s Governor Kim Reynolds acts as if the state government is her own little company and refuses to tell those of us who pay the freight what is going on.
This has led to speculation in the press and in one case made Iowa a national laughingstock once again. The stories that somehow leaked out were that Foxhoven was a huge fan of rapper Tupac Shakur. Foxhoven would send department emails with Shakur lyrics in them and would play Shakur’s music in his office.
While that is surely annoying behavior and probably something that should have brought at least a note from the boss to quit it, if not a formal reprimand. But forcing someone’s resignation over what should be a fairly easily correctable behavior? Sounds fishy. However, the rest of the country enjoyed Iowa being the butt of this joke.
Foxhoven has his own theory. This means that apparently Reynolds either didn’t give Foxhoven a reason or the reason he got seemed – well – fishy. Foxhoven claims that the Governor asked him (Foxhoven) to do something on the shady side and he refused to comply.
Whatever the reason, Reynolds is not saying and we are all scratching our heads. Until the day Foxhoven resigned Reynolds seemed to have nothing but praise for Foxhoven. Apparently something came up quickly that necessitated Foxhoven’s resignation.
According to a law that was part of the union busting bill pushed through the legislature in 2017 and signed by former Governor Terry Branstad under the watchful eye of lobbyist Drew Klein. According to the Des Moines Register:
“Documents detailing the firings and demotions of public employees have become available under a little-noticed but dramatic change to the Iowa Open Records Act signed by then-Gov. Terry Branstad in February. The Associated Press used the law to obtain records that shed light on an aspect of public sector work that had been kept under wraps for decades.
<< snip >>
The amendment signed by Branstad requires agencies to release “the documented reasons and rationale” that employees are fired, demoted, or resign to avoid termination. The law requires agencies to notify employees that the documentation going in their personnel files may become public records after appeals are exhausted.”
Part of Foxhoven’s purview was Iowa’s privatized Medicaid system that has been one screwed up mess from before its inception. Foxhoven’s resignation could not have come at a worse time as the medicaid system is once again undergoing major revamping, including the reassignment of patients from one MCO to a new MCO. The pain in this transition will once more fall on patients who are least able to handle it.
We have had plenty of secrecy in the Reynolds administration in the 2 or so years she has been Governor. Reynolds just doesn’t want to seem to let Iowans know what she is doing whether it is accepting questionable airplane rides from donors or dealing with personnel without letting taxpayers know what’s going on.
Based on the actions of the current administration in Washington, Republicans act as if the public business is none of the Public’s business.
Tell us what is going on, Reynolds. It is always easier to be honest up front than trying to explain your way out of another embarrassing headline.

Croft, in his 35th cap, scored an eye-catching try in the 24-22 win at the Stade de France, joining clubmate Manu Tuilagi on the scoresheet.
“That’s three away wins and that says something about the way things are going,” Croft said.
“It was certainly one of the most enjoyable games I have ever had in an England shirt. It was just one of those games where everything clicked.
England have now won three out of four games in this season’s Six Nations, with Ireland up next at Twickenham next Saturday, though they had to hang on against a late French fightback.
“If we eradicate some of those penalties we gave away, we would have been nine or 12 points further ahead and not in that position,” Croft said.
Tuilagi showed his pace to score the opening try in the early stages of the game, and Croft cropped up in midfield and showed a startling turn of pace to beat the French defence for his own score.
Leicester team-mates Dan Cole and Geoff Parling both played their part in a fine forward effort, while scrum-half Ben Youngs also appeared as a second-half replacement.

Eddy’s Neighborhood Bar & Grill is gearing up for its 25th anniversary in 2020 and, in the meantime, the popular, quaint neighborhood spot “where everybody knows your name” is changing hands once again.
Geist businessman James Jallal and wife Michele acquired Eddy’s from Dave Stringer who took over the restaurant in 2015.
“We are excited to take over Eddy’s,” says James, who retired from Kermans Flooring in 2007. “I went into real estate after I retired, but, really my passion was always food and entertaining and now I’m involved in something I truly enjoy. ”
James’s wife Michele agrees that the decision to take over Eddy’s was good for them.
“Our kids are grown, and we were talking about downsizing or moving to Florida,” she says. “But, when this came up we thought we now have the time needed for the restaurant business. Plus, we live close so it’s easy for James to stay a little later when there are still customers in the dining room or at the bar.”
Michele says they would often invite neighbors into their Geist home for summer cookouts.
“The house would be full of people and there was James at the grill entertaining everybody,” she says. “His friends would say, ‘James you need to get out of the rug business and open a restaurant.’”
So, taking over an established, fun neighborhood spot with a clientele that lives within a five-mile radius was just as good.
Not a whole lot will change at Eddy’s but, to begin with, the logo has changed to a lakeside scene with a sailboat on the water and a blue heron in the foreground.
New signage is on the way for the outside and some remodeling will be done on the inside. As far as the food goes, yes, the jalapeño chicken strips are here to stay.
But, Chef Andy Waldon will be preparing some healthier choices and more fish dishes will be added to the menu. Fresh bread will be delivered three times a week and many new wines will be added to the menu. Eddy’s will continue to offer dockside service for the boaters as well.
The Jallals invite everyone to Eddy’s to enjoy the new food and drink items on the menu and the great outdoor dining on the patio this summer.
Eddy’s Neighborhood Bar & Grill is located at 11693 Fall Creek Rd. You can give them a call at 317-849-0925 or visit them online at eddysatgeist.com for more information.

oa Historia - Die koegasmoorde van 1878 en die implikasies daarvan vir die Kaapkolonie
The Koegas atrocities of 1878 and its implications for the Cape Colony. During the Second Northern Frontier War (1878-1879) burghers who were called up in service of the Colonial government shot and killed prisoners of war in cold blood on two occasions. Naturally these events caused a sensation and dismayed public as well as official circles. The Cape government therefore ordered an immediate investigation. After a long delay sufficient evidence was collected and the accused were brought to trial in the Circuit Court at Victoria West during September 1879. As public feelings in this area were strongly in favour of the accused, the responsible officials requested that the trial be moved to Cape Town. Attorney-General Thomas Upington refused, however, and as was expected all the accused, with the exception of the single Coloured, were found not guilty by the jury. This verdict had numerous repercussions. Newspapers such as The Cape Argus fiercely attacked the government and especially the Attorney-General, whereupon Upington sued the owner and editor of that newspaper for libel. Although the so-called Great Libel Case was found in favour of the complainant, the verdict was a moral victory for the accused and a defeat for Upington and the government. This court case in turn had several repercussions, while the situation as a whole badly damaged the image of the Cape Colony.
