Ansonia weighs options for long-vacant Peck School
Published 1:56 pm, Wednesday, April 12, 2017
The blighted building is owned by C&H Management LLC, according to Economic Development Director Sheila O’Malley. More than $42,000 in back taxes is owed to the city on the building.
The former elementary school at 34 Holbrook St., which housed students in grades K-5, closed in 2000.
The 113-year-old building boasts some 22,853 square feet, and O’Malley said there is potential for the city to possibly purchase the building, but several options are being weighed.
“We want to foreclose due to tax delinquency,” O’Malley said. “The city can then either sell it at auction, where we can set restrictions on the redevelopment and reuse, or we can choose to demolish.”
At a November 2013 referendum, residents approved bonding $400,000 to demolish the building, but O’Malley said last year that project never happened. If the building were to be demolished, it would not have involved taxpayers’ money.
O’Malley said this week that there are developers interested in the property, and the city also has spoken with the Ansonia Housing Authority about possibly using the property for “senior housing only.”
The school closed its doors in June 2000 and the property later was transferred to the city by the Board of Education. Since then, several proposals had come before the city to convert the building into everything from affordable housing units and upscale apartments to office space, but none of those proposals ever came to fruition.
In 2001, a proposal by Mutual Housing Associates of South Central Connecticut Inc. called for converting the school into affordable housing units. In 2002, an Oxford developer proposed constructing between 30 and 40 market-rate apartments, and first-floor offices.
All proposals were rejected by the city after neighbors came out in force in opposition of the plans. Neighbors expressed concerns about the building’s age, as well as the safety of its interior.
The school was built in 1904, and served as an elementary school until 2000 when the school board consolidated all the city’s elementary school students into Mead and Prendergast schools.
School officials had ruled out using the school as a solution to combat overcrowding because they said the school contained asbestos, and would require new heating and cooling systems and other major and costly code upgrades and improvements.


Pakistani singer Arooj Aftab, whose Sufi-influenced jazz sounds were on former US President Barack Obama’s summer playlist earlier this year, was nominated for Best New Artist category for the 2022 Grammy Awards .
The highest accolades in the music industry will be presented at a ceremony in Los Angeles on January 31.
Aftab, who was born in Lahore, will take on teenage phenomenon Olivia Rodrigo, 18, who burst onto the US charts in January when her single Driving license went viral. Rodrigo is also one of the most nominated artists, with a total of seven nods, including Album of the Year for her debut. Sour.
Other top new artists nominated include country music singer Jimmie Allen, rapper Baby Keem, singer Finneas (who is also the brother of singer Billie Eilish), British band Glass Animals, Korean-American rock band Japanese Breakfast, Australian star The Kid Laroi, British singer Arlo Parks and rapper Saweetie.
Aftab’s song Mohabbat, which means love, was one of the few non-English songs on Obama’s list, a tradition he has shared for a few years, even when he was in the White House.
“With so many people getting together with family and friends, there is a lot to celebrate this summer,” the former president tweeted. “Here’s a playlist of songs I’ve been listening to lately – it’s a mix of old and new, famous names and emerging artists, and many more in between.”
Who is Arooj Aftab?
Born in Lahore, Pakistan, Aftab, 36, moved to the United States in 2005 to study at Berklee College of Music in Boston. Now living in Brooklyn, she independently released her debut album, Bird under water, in 2015 and received critical acclaim.
Describing her sound, a fusion of jazz and Sufi music sung to Urdu lyrics, like “neo-Sufi”, she continued that success with her second album, Sirens Islands, in 2018. The New York Times included the album in his list of the 25 Best Classical Music Tracks of 2018, with writer Seth Colter Walls calling it “easily one of my favorite releases from the first half of this year.”
Mohabbat, from Obama’s summer playlist, is from Aftab’s third album, Vulture prince, released in April. Dedicated to his younger brother, Maher, who died earlier this year, the album was praised for its intensity and minimalism.
The Pitchfork music website described it as a “heartbreaking and exquisite document of the journey from grief to acceptance.”
Call Mohabbat the “centerpiece of the album,” Aftab “turns it into a slow exploration of the pain of separation,” the magazine writes.
“Aftab sings, his voice floats in a sorrow so vast that it seems to encompass the world and all the realms beyond.”
Speaking to NPR, Aftab called their latest album “very relevant” to the present day.
“The way things went, it’s just madness. It’s crazy, and it almost sometimes feels like it’s too much. And I think that’s really the direction I threw myself in when we spun around Vulture prince – and how it got out now and what time it is out, ”she said.
“I think there is a way for artists to say something with their work that is not always very direct. It’s not always like social activism, but it’s, you know, in its subtlety and grace. He can just be there in a very small way. And I think, Vulture princeBy design, I wanted it to contain a lot of these elements.
Aftab acknowledged Obama’s recognition on Saturday, posting: “Well, it’s been wonderful to wake up! Thank you @barackobama.”

Craig Campbell Puts on Unforgettable Show at the Boot Grill Friday Night [PICTURES]
Craig Campbell put on a show at the Boot Grill on Friday for New From Nashville that we will never forget. He never sounded better on his mega-hit "Family Man" and his brand-new amazing hit "Outskirts of Heaven. He told me he would play about an hour, but it was more like an hour and 25 minutes. Craig brought the crowd to their feet a number of times.
My favorite part of the show is when he brought his lovely wife, Mindy Ellis Campbell, on stage to sing a couple songs with him. You could feel the true love connection between the two of them while they were on stage together. Plus, about 30 of her friends and family were in the crowd, since she is a Loveland girl. It was magical.
A big thank you to my beautiful wife, Jenny, for capturing all of the wonderful moment on her camera.

A duct is a path or channel made use of in home heating, ventilation, and cooling systems. They deliver supply air, return air, and also exhaust air. Generally, they provide ventilation air as well. The setup and also cleaning of a duct system is a do it yourself job. Listed here are the products as well as prices to think about. As well as do not fail to remember to ask your contractor if there are any type of guarantee or assurance provided. As soon as you have a concept of the expenses, it’s time to obtain started.
There are numerous various sorts of materials for air duct insulation. One of the most usual kind is fiberglass, which has an R-value of 4 to eleven. It works for a variety of environments. Stiff fiberglass is usually set up in rectangle-shaped ducts, and is held against the ductwork with clamps or clasps. The density can range one and also 2 inches, and the R-value enhances by about four per inch.
A properly designed air duct system can boost the interior air high quality of a building and also boost energy efficiency. A properly-designed system can lessen power usage by up to 20 percent. The setup of an air duct system is simple as well as can be done promptly as well as effectively. Right here are some ideas for obtaining it appropriate:
When you have a poorly operating duct system, you might assume that it is time to obtain it cleaned. While this isn’t necessarily the instance, cleansing it can have a considerable effect on the air high quality of your residence. It can minimize your energy costs as well as boost the high quality of air in your home. It is also crucial to know that the majority of property owners have no training in house maintenance. Below are some tips on exactly how to cleanse your duct.
When mounting a brand-new duct system, the cost will vary widely. Some air ducts are protected and also others are not. Versatile ducts commonly set you back around $6.50 per linear foot and also are readily available in a number of various colors. If you have a small house or a home, you may discover that the cost of mounting a whole system is a lot more affordable. Nevertheless, you must consider the fact that this kind of duct system is not always one of the most reliable alternative, especially in locations with low ceilings.
While you may be able to determine the area of air duct leak by yourself, there are 2 primary areas of worry: the joints and connections of the ducted system and the components themselves. Animals can tear holes in plastic air ducts. While the former is one of the most common trouble, it is important to keep in mind that various other issues can create greater power expenses as well. Leak is specifically troublesome if it occurs in the return side of the system, where air returns back to the ac system, heatpump, or furnace.
During cool weather, pets will usually seek heat inside a house, and also your ductwork is no exemption. If you find a smell that smells like waste or decomposing eggs, maybe an indicator of an animal that passed away in your house. If you see this smell, call an expert immediately to have it tidied up. If you can scent natural gas, it might be dripping. The “rotten egg” odor is an usual additive that prevents explosive problems. If you scent it, call the gas firm to determine the leakage as well as obtain it repaired.

The Tagarma rock avalanche in the Pamir-western Himalayan syntaxis of the Tibetan Plateau
The Tagarma rock avalanche is an ancient but beautifully-preserved landslide located on the Tibetan Plateau at 38.081, 75.185. This large landslide has recently been described in a paper (Wang et al. 2019) published in the journal Landslides. This is an interesting landslide in that it is located in the so-called Pamir-western Himalayan syntaxis, a major kink in the tectonic boundary that runs through the Himalayas. As such, this is an area of high seismicity – in 1895 the area was struck by the Mw≈7.0 Tashkorgan earthquake for example. As this is an area of low rainfall, Wang et al. (2019) conclude that this rock avalanche was probably triggered by an ancient earthquake, although the date of this is unknown.
The landslide can be seen in the Google Earth image below:-
I have indicated the location of the crown of the landslide with a red marker, whilst the toe of the landslide, in the foreground, can be seen to have some intricate flow type structures. According to Wang et al. (2019), the landslide is 5,430 metres from crown to toe, with a vertical elevation change of 1,510 metres. The estimated volume is 9.6 million m³. These statistics suggest that this was a highly mobile rock avalanche.
As mentioned above, this rock avalanche has complex structures in the landslide deposit. In the dry Tibetan climate these are beautifully preserved:-
Based on detailed analysis of the deposit, Wang et al. (2019) suggest that the Tagarma rock avalanche started as a planar slide in the source area, and then transitioned into an extensional slide, in which the front of the landslide moved more rapidly than the rear portion. Lower on the slope, the landslide encountered increased basal resistance, and thus transitioned into a compressive phase that generated the complex structures seen in the deposit. During this phase the landslide also went through some lateral spreading.

|Turnagain Area Avalanche Advisory|
|Travel Advice: Heightened avalanche conditions on specific terrain features. Evaluate snow and terrain carefully; identify features of concern.|
|Travel Advice: Generally safe avalanche conditions. Watch for unstable snow on isolated terrain features.|
|Show the Complete North American Avalanche Danger Scale|
The avalanche hazard is LOW in many areas. Shallow wind slabs up to a foot in depth and loose snow avalanches will be easy to trigger in upper elevation starting zones. In these areas the avalanche hazard is MODERATE today.
We have received reports of several human triggered wind slabs over the last several days. Yesterday my partner and I were able to release one of these slabs on a steep rollover on a west facing slope, as pictured below:
Expect more of the same today. The warm temps of last week helped to form stout crusts on all but north facing upper elevation slopes. Since that time we have seen less than a foot of new snow accumulation on Turnagain Pass and closer to a foot around Girdwood. The last three days of clear and cold weather has helped to weaken the snow, particularly at the interface between these crusts and whatever new snow has fallen over the past ten days. In areas that received wind loading in the last several days these shallow slabs will be sensitive to the weight of a person today.
Areas that have been sheltered from the wind are holding very weak loose snow. We were able to easily trigger sluffs in terrain over 40 degrees yesterday. Sluffs were relatively low in volume but were running long distances. With this in mind, it will be important to manage your sluffs today. The bigger and steeper the terrain, the greater the volume these sluffs will become. Don't let your sluff catch up with you; turn away from moving snow, let it go past you or move faster than it to manage this problem.
With clear skies and just slightly warmer temperatures in store today, pay attention to steep slopes receiving direct sun. There is potential for shallow damp loose snow avalanches to release naturally later in the day.
In the past 24 hours the mountains around Eastern Turnagain Arm have received no precipitation. Winds have been blowing 7mph out of the NW with gusts to 23mph at the Sunburst weather station (3,812'). Winds were stronger in certain higher elevation locations that were catching the north winds yesterday as we observed in both the Turnagain and Summit Lake areas (see photo below). Temperatures at Sunburst have averaged 6.8 degrees F.
Look for today to be very similar to yesterday. Light to moderate winds, blowing less than 10mph out of the North may help to move around any snow available for transport. Clear skies will help to heat up sun exposed slopes later in the day. Temperatures at 1,000' will climb into the mid to high 20s F.
A ridge of high pressure has established itself over the Bering Sea and is extending into our area. This will translate to clear skies through the weekend with temperatures rising just slightly over the next few days. Look for winds out of the north to pick up speed tomorrow.
Wendy will issue the next advisory tomorrow morning, April 14th.
This is a general backcountry avalanche advisory issued for Turnagain Arm with Turnagain Pass as the core advisory area (this advisory does not apply to highways, railroads, or operating ski areas).
Riding status is not associated with avalanche danger. An area will be open to motorized use in accordance to the Forest Management Plan when snow coverage is adequate to protect underlying vegetation. Backcountry hazards including avalanche hazard are always present regardless of the open status of motorized use areas.

Some have improved homes than other people, just for them to be regarded as enviroment-pleasant. Additionally, there are many sorts of timber. One example is, wrought straightener could be created into several layouts. The wrought straightener inside of a wrought iron sofa stands out as the perfect diamond necklace to get a modern-day residence. They could be fashioned into a lovely lounger.
A different sort of furniture is a day bed. Such type of item may serve as each a base in addition to a recliner. It is perfect for individuals with small children, since it enables them to write about time before the tv set. It may also be converted into a mattress. Whether you’ll need a individual couch or maybe a settee that could turn into a your bed, a day bed may be the perfect selection. The best pieces of furniture tends to make the times you cherish last eternally.

January 6, 2012
True, Michigan has money problems that have led to layoffs, the death of a popular college scholarship program and massive cuts in aid to education. But next month the state will spend millions to hold a presidential primary that violates national rules and in which only the Republican Party is taking part.
On top of that, the election may lack much significance. Detroit native Mitt Romney is heavily favored, and the result will only attract much attention if he doesn’t do well.
But it could be worse — and frequently has been in Michigan, the state that can’t seem to shoot straight when it comes to selecting national convention delegates. Last time, for example, both parties held primaries that were expensive and meaningless, violated national party rules and were boycotted by most of the Democratic candidates. The winners — Romney and Hillary Clinton — had their campaigns fizzle long before the national conventions began.
If that wasn’t bad enough, Michigan was the only primary state in the nation in which Barack Obama’s name wasn’t even on the ballot. (This year the Democrats are boycotting the primary; they will pick the state’s 203 delegates in special caucuses May 5. Presumably all will be for President Obama, who is unopposed.)
Republicans have a crowded race, however, which left the Michigan GOP with a major dilemma: National rules require all but a few states like New Hampshire, South Carolina and Iowa to wait until March to hold caucuses or primaries.
The penalty for going earlier is the loss of half a state’s convention delegates. Michigan decided the attention was worth the loss of clout, and decided to hold a primary February 28. As a result, the number of votes the state will have was knocked down from 59 to 30, fewer delegates than the much smaller state of Mississippi will have.
Ironically, however, it isn’t clear this will bring Michigan much benefit. If Romney follows his narrow Iowa triumph with wins in the other pre-Michigan states, the race could be virtually over.
Even if he stumbles in some and wins decisively in Michigan, the state where his father George was a popular governor in the 1960s, the result may be dismissed as loyalty to a favorite son.
Besides, some Republicans outside the state are sure to sniff at the results because, well, it isn’t really a “closed” primary. Michigan has no party registration. Anybody can vote in the GOP primary just by saying he or she is a Republican.
As one disgruntled Washtenaw County Republican told a reporter, “Any registered voter — Republican, Democrat, Communist — is eligible.” Whether Democrats will show up and muddy the waters isn’t clear. In 2000, thousands did cross over and helped Arizona Sen. John McCain decisively defeat that year’s nominee, George W. Bush, in the Michigan primary.
This year, Democrats have been making political hay over the fact that all taxpayers are being forced to shell out for a one-party election. How much will it cost? Fred Woodhams, a spokesman for the Michigan secretary of state, whose department handles elections, said, “$10 million is the figure we are using.”
Democrats, however, have had their own embarrassing primaries and caucuses in the past. Indeed, the Michigan delegate-selection process has seemed star-crossed since the state first established a presidential primary during the Progressive Era nearly a century ago. Henry Ford won the GOP primary in 1916.
Eight years later, Ford won the Democratic primary, even though he was not really a candidate either time. The primary lapsed during the Great Depression. When it was restarted in 1972, Democrats were hugely embarrassed when George Wallace won by a huge landslide the day after he was shot and almost killed.
In 1980, Democrats went to a caucus system so difficult almost no one could figure it out, and which eventually picked another loser.
Both parties have gone back and forth between different primary and caucus systems since. Ironically, the only time Michigan’s presidential primary has been meaningful was in those years when it was held late, in May. Gerald Ford’s big win in 1976 helped him narrowly fend off a challenge from Ronald Reagan. That same year, Jimmy Carter won a significant and extremely close Democratic primary over Mo Udall.
Four years later, George H.W. Bush overwhelmingly defeated the eventual GOP nominee, Ronald Reagan, in Michigan’s primary. That key showing in an industrial state helped the elder Bush end up as the vice-presidential nominee that year, something that turned out to be a stepping-stone to two Bush presidencies.
Most observers gave former Gov. William Milliken a lot of credit for the Bush victory that year. Milliken, a liberal Republican, campaigned intensively for his former Yale classmate, but later broke with him when he felt Bush had moved too far to the right.
The governor had even less use for the second President Bush, and he openly supported the Democratic nominee in 2004.
Last year, when an interviewer mentioned that the 1980 Michigan primary had started the Bush family on the way to the White House, Milliken looked downcast.
“I know. It’s my fault,” he said, only partly kidding.
Thirty years from now will anyone remember anything about Michigan’s role in the current campaign?
Stranger things have happened…but probably not.

COMEX Gold Analysis – Has Gold Bottomed?
by Taki T, Gold Silver Worlds
Where to look for a clue on the queston whether gold has bottomed? The answer is very simple: in the market where the gold price is set, i.e. COMEX gold futures (and silver futures).
We have repeatedly shown the next chart over the last couple of months. The chart basically indicates the potential power of a gold price rally by looking at the rate of change of short positions of commercials. Those positions are represented by the blue bars on the chart. The green dotted lines indicate accumulation of short positions of commercials; the faster those positions are accumulated, the larger the stopping power.
Right now, we are nowhere near a low position of commercial shorts, which suggests there is more downside potential for the gold price.
That brings us to the weekly analysis of the Commitment of Traders Report, which is released every Friday. Ed Steer, editor of the Gold & Silver Daily Newsletter, provides an overview of the COMEX futures market structure and the positions of the market participants.
In silver, the Commercial net short position declined by 5,736 contracts, or 28.7 million troy ounces. That reduces the Commercial net short position down to 238 million troy ounces, which is still an outrageously high number. Ted Butler pegs JPMorgan’s short position between 100-105 million troy ounces, which is almost 50 percent of the total amount. I would guess that Canada’s Scotiabank holds a short position in silver almost the same size as JPM’s.
Under the hood in the Disaggregated COT Report, it was virtually all the Managed Money, as they sold 531 longs—and put on 4,960 short contracts, for a total of 5,491 contracts. The raptors [the Commercial traders other than the Big 8] happily took the other side of the Managed Money trade, as they added about 5,300 long contracts. The balance of 400 or so contracts showed up as a reduction in the short position of the Big 4 traders, which would include JPMorgan.
In gold, the Commercial net short position declined by 26,956 contracts—and the Commercial net short position in that precious metal is now down to 14.36 million troy ounces.
Under the hood in the Disaggregated report, the technical funds in the Managed Money category dumped 12,240 long contracts, plus they added 11,605 short contracts—for a total of 23,845. On the other side, it was the Big 8 and the smaller commercial traders [the raptors] either covering shorts or adding longs.
Both Ed Steer and Ted Butler consider the COMEX market structure as evidenced by the latest COT report not very good. Ed’s estimate is that we still have about fifty or so dollars to the downside left in gold, and maybe one dollar or bit more in silver. However, he adds to it that if the commercials really want to get aggressive, we are nowhere near a price bottom.
That confirms our chart analysis. Gold bulls should be prepared, as there is not enough evidence yet of a final bottom.

New study being conducted by a high school student in the Gifted and Talented Mentorship Program in Fort Bend ISD in Texas. She is being mentored by Dr. Wang and will determine the rate of hearing loss and skin cancers in RTS, topics that have not been formally studied before. In order to accomplish this, she will be sending out questionnaires/surveys to all families enrolled in our research study at BCM and populating the RTS Registry.
Because this is only a 4-month project, we need you to respond quickly. We encourage all RTS families to please respond as soon as you receive the survey. It will only take a few minutes of your time but will be so important for the RTS community. Surveys will be sent out both by mail and electronic link. If you have not been in contact with Dr. Wang’s group recently, please reach out to them at: email@example.com or 832-824-4224 to make sure they have your contact information.
The RTS Sharing and Caring Conference is a wonderful opportunity to connect with RTS families for either the first time or to reacquaint yourself with families that you may not have seen for some time, given the Covid19 Pandemic. While the itinerary for the conference continues to be finalized, presentations will address, among other topics, the status of research, medical and clinical challenges of RTS, management of dermatological concerns and the psychosocial aspects of living with RTS and its impact on the family. As in prior years, all attendees can participate in the Sharing and Caring part of the conference. This is a unique opportunity for families to share their lived RTS experiences, provide feedback and find mutual support.
Due to the limited accommodations at the Home2 Suites Hotel in Maine, please contact us via firstname.lastname@example.org as soon as possible, if you are interested in attending the conference. We look forward to seeing you at the conference

WHAT IS ORTHOGNATHIC SURGERY?
The orthognathic surgery It is the surgical manipulation of the different elements of the skeleton of the face to, in this way, restore the anatomical and functional relationship in patients with dentofacial alterations allowing facial harmony.
It is a multidisciplinary treatment, since an orthodontist and maxillofacial surgeon intervene to perform this treatment, obtaining a functional balance.
Thus, the main objectives that orthognathic surgery seeks is to obtain a harmony of the face and teeth, a functional occlusion, thus achieve a health of the orofacial structures and that the procedure to be performed has long-term stability.
WHEN IS IT NECESSARY TO PERFORM AN ORTHOGNATHIC SURGERY?
Orthognathic surgery is indicated in the following aspects:
- There is a severe compromise of facial harmony.
- Surgery is not a substitute for orthodontics, but must be coordinated with it and with other general dentistry procedures.
- Serious orthodontic problems that neither growth modification nor camouflage without surgery are a good solution
Before performing this type of treatment that combines orthodontics with surgery, it is important to be able to analyze the mental and social well-being of certain patients altered by deformities, as well as a psychological evaluation of the patient before operating and have real expectations of the changes afterwards. of surgery.
WHAT IS THE SEQUENCE OF ORTHOGNATIC SURGERY?
Orthognathic surgery not only consists of the procedure on the day of surgery, but a series of sequential analyzes must be performed in order to carry it out successfully.
The sequence of orthognathic surgery is as follows:
- Anamnesis, record taking and clinical analysis
- Diagnosis and planning
- Presurgical orthodontics
- Model surgery and / or 3D planning
- Jaw Surgery
- Post-surgical orthodontics
1. ANAMNESIS, RECORD TAKING AND CLINICAL ANALYSIS
The first step is to take a complete medical history, also analyzing the oral health status as well as a clinical analysis. With this, a photographic study is carried out with intraoral photographs, from inside the mouth, and extraoral, from outside the mouth, to be able to adequately examine the case of each patient.
Next, radiographic records are made: orthopantomography (or panoramic radiography), frontal radiography and lateral skull radiography (or teleradiography). The study is also completed with a three-dimensional radiograph (CBCT) to be able to analyze the case in all dimensions.
Finally, the upper and lower models are taken in order to examine the case out of mouth.
2. DIAGNOSIS AND ORTHODONTIC PLANNING-MAXILLOFACIAL SURGEON
Once the case has been analyzed in detail, a clear diagnosis is obtained from which a planning is established of how orthodontics will be before surgery, what the surgery will be like, what structures will have to be modified to obtain the objectives previously studied in order to achieve precise and exact results.
3. PRE-SURGICAL ORTHODONTICS
Presurgical orthodontics aims to eliminate dental compensations, align and level the arches, correct dental rotations and inclinations, as well as the coordination of the arches (upper and lower) independently.
4. MODEL SURGERY AND / OR 3D PLANNING
Before surgery, a simulation of the surgery is carried out in the models or in a three-dimensional way to be able to visualize all the movements to be performed on the day of surgery.
5. SURGERY OF THE JAWS
The surgery is performed by the maxillofacial surgeon, based on prior planning. During this visit, the skeletal structures are modified to obtain the expected results and a functional improvement and achieve facial harmony.
6. POST SURGICAL ORTHODONTICS
After surgery, compensatory orthodontics are performed to align different positions of the teeth and thus achieve a perfect dental occlusion and relationship between the upper and lower teeth.
This can be immediate or late. In the immediate postsurgical orthodontics, some elastics are placed which will move the bone, and not the teeth. It is usually performed in class II malocclusions when the mandible has been advanced or in classes III when the maxilla has been advanced. Immediate postsurgical orthodontic appointments are very frequent. The late postsurgical orthodontics It is performed when the callus of the fracture performed by orthognathic surgery is already fully formed. It is a mechanics just like conventional orthodontics.

This weekend, VA will host simultaneous “hackathons” with a goal of developing innovations to help Veterans with mild traumatic brain injury and post-traumatic stress disorder. The event brings together experts, developers, clinicians, Veterans, caregivers and the public and gives them the opportunity to collaborate with each other. The hackathon fosters the development of innovations in access, diagnostics, rehabilitation and community reintegration for Veterans with mild TBI and PTSD.
A panel of leading VA and industry experts in the field, along with Veterans and caregivers, will select up to three winners in both Austin and San Francisco this weekend. The winners may be invited to showcase their innovation at VA’s Brain Trust Innovation Showcase in Washington, D.C., in April.
The weekend’s events are open to clinicians, researchers, developers, technologists, designers, data scientists, Veterans, caregivers and members of the public who have a desire to help develop solutions to these challenging issues. Experts and thought leaders in the TBI and PTSD realm will serve as team mentors. Industry experts from Google, Booz Allen, Vets in Tech and many more will be participating as judges and advisors. To attend and for more information, register online at this link.
Why a hackathon? The conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan have resulted in increased numbers of Veterans who have experienced TBI and PTSD. The Department of Defense and the Defense and Veteran’s Brain Injury Center estimate that 22% of all combat casualties from these conflicts are brain injuries. From Oct. 1, 2001, to Dec. 31, 2014, nearly 400,000 Operation Enduring Freedom/Operation Iraqi Freedom/Operation New Dawn Veterans were seen for potential PTSD at VA facilities following their return from these overseas deployments. The VA is committed to finding new and effective ways to treat and support our nations Veterans who are suffering from these conditions.


The role management module is an important part of CloudCare and manages the access to the CloudCare tool itself. The IT manager will of course have full access to the application and all its functions. But other colleagues can also use a number of features as well. Just think of an HR employee who would like to check whether everyone has set their out of office for the coming holidays.
Within CloudCare it is possible to give different employees a unique role within the tool. For example, you can give an IT colleague limited access to manage a geographically dispersed group. A local IT employee abroad can then only manage the users he is responsible for, even if they are managed within the same Office 365 tenant.
The role management module, also gives us the possibility to relieve the IT administrator’s work. The HR-team can get access to the users and make adjustments to the Office 365 tenant in an easy-to-use interface. They can create new users / email addresses themselves for a new colleague through the existing wizards. The rights are limited, nothing can go wrong. These restricted users don’t even need access to the Active Directory to make these adjustments.

DGAP-News: Probiodrug AG / Key word(s): Miscellaneous
Probiodrug and Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study (ADCS) Receive 15 Million USD National Institutes of Health (NIH) Grant for U.S. Phase 2b Core Program for PQ912
Study to Evaluate Safety and Efficacy of Drug Seeking to Treat Those with Mild Cognitive Impairment or Mild Dementia
HALLE (SAALE), Germany and San Diego, CA - USA, 20 March 2019 - Probiodrug AG, a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel therapeutic solutions to treat Alzheimer's disease (AD) (Euronext Amsterdam: PBD) and the Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study (ADCS), announced today that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is funding in part a US Phase 2b core program to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Probiodrug's PQ912 in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or mild dementia due to AD with an NIH Research Project (R01) grant expected to total 15 million USD over four years.
The grant was awarded by the National Institute on Aging, part of the NIH, for the project A Seamless Phase 2A-B Randomized Double-Blind Placebo-Controlled Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of PQ912 in Patients with Early Alzheimer's Disease. The funding is under award number R01AG061146 to the University of California, San Diego.
Probiodrug is the sponsor of the U.S. study led by study principal investigator Howard Feldman, MD, Director of the ADCS, a national consortium of clinical sites, based at the University of California, San Diego.
"We are very grateful to the NIH for supporting this research which will advance a novel experimental therapeutic approach for those suffering from mild cognitive impairment and mild dementia due to early Alzheimer's," said Howard Feldman, MD, Professor of Neurosciences and Director of the ADCS, based at the University of California, San Diego. "This new medication PQ 912 will allow us to target several disease mechanisms, including the buildup of a particularly toxic form of amyloid beta peptides as well as the modulation of the neuroinflammatory process that occurs in the disease. We look forward to being able to measure the sufficiency of dosing, against the disease targets, an opportunity we often do not achieve in clinical trials and which will help definitively address whether this approach works."
The study is designed as a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial evaluating 460 study participants from centers in the U.S. and Canada. Patients will be treated 1:1 with either PQ912 - a specific small molecule inhibitor of Glutaminyl-Cyclase - or with a placebo, for a duration of 18 months.
"We strongly believe in our first-in-class approach for early Alzheimer's disease intervention and hope that the funding awarded by the NIH in PQ912 will motivate other investors to support us in this important research," said Dr. Ulrich Dauer, CEO of Probiodrug. "The support of the NIH will provide important data for our therapeutic concept."
The NIH grant will partially fund the U.S. study and the remaining budget will be covered by Probiodrug.

Must see web design.
Some of you are aware that I have a slightly serious addiction to Pinterest. It's fantastic for so, so many reasons. Dinner inspiration becomes reality, kitchen and bathroom designs get stored for that "one day" reno, and graphic ideas flow rousing creative juices a plenty. The following are a compilation of a few designs that have caught my eye, as great design always does. Feel free to browse the sites themselves, or the designers who crafted them, they are simply stunning.

I need to get a sample of some drywall joint compound for asbestos testing in a house I'm renovating. I pulled away some of the base boards in the corner and found something that I believe to be joint compound, but I need someone to verify before I take a sample and send it in.
I'm looking at the tan colored substance by the nail in the corner (I highlighted it in the picture). Is this drywall joint compound?
FYI, we have already had some lab tests done and found asbestos (chrysotile) in the popcorn ceiling in one room and the linoleum flooring in the kitchen (currently covered up by laminate). The abatement company recommended checking the joint compound in the wall.
This substance was indeed drywall joint compound and it did contain asbestos, which is a bummer. Now on to abatement...

PAX 2010: Star Wars: The Old Republic Video Preview
At PAX yesterday, Dallas Dickinson (right), Director of Production for BioWare in Austin, Texas and Blaine Christine (left), Senior Producer for BioWare unloaded a metric ton of information on Star Wars: The Old Republic. If you’re looking to get a handle on the game‘s features, story, classes, etc., you’ve come to the right place.
We captured the entire fifty-three minute presentation on video (embedded below). We’ve also provided descriptions of each of the segments in the video, along with time stamps in case you want to jump around this massive beast. The video includes 2 live gameplay demos, several segments highlighting all 8 playable classes, followed by a final Q&A session with lead writer Dan Erickson. Phew! It was an information-packed hour, to be sure.
For a little background, Dickinson described SW: The Old Republic thusly:
A story-driven, massively multiplayer role-playing game, set several thousand years before the movies, and several hundred years after the original Knights of the Old Republic.
Republic Class Info (Advanced Classes We Saw)
- Trooper Class: Advanced class. He’s the Commando/tank version of that class.
- Smuggler: Gunslinger Advanced Class, dualwielding blasters.
- Jedi Knight: DPS build, dualwielding light sabers. Takes out secondary enemies, cleans up the trash.
- Jedi Consular: Wizard Advanced Class. Focuses on healing.
Other Stuff We Noticed:
- First fully voiced MMO. Every NPC and character has full voice acting.
- Action-packed combat. They want you to feel heroic. Lightsabers actually clash, etc.
- The Smuggler class will have a unique “cover” system for combat.
- Party Decisions: During quests, you will have to collectively decide on a course of action with your party. You will essentially “vote” on party decisions, using the Mass Effect-style dialog trees. If your party decides on a “dark side” path, but you’re a light side character, you still get your light side points.
- There is a difference between “Factions,” and “Morality.” If you want to play a light side Sith, go ahead. It’ll be tough, but you can do it. If you want to be a totally evil Jedi Knight, feel free
Segment 1 (2:25).
First gameplay demo. Four Advanced Classes (Jedi Knight, Smuggler, Troopher and Jedi Consular fight some Republic forces on a ship).
Segment 2 (12:50)
Jedi Knight, Jedi Consular – start out ancient homeworld of Typhon where the Jedi Order is building a new temple. They are confronted by enemies.
Segment 3 (15:17).
Jedi sent into the heart of Typhon to forge a new lightsaber.
Segment 4 (16:40).
Meanwhile on the outer rim, the Trooper and Smuggler classes are fighting off the republic.
Segment 5 (18:08).
All 4 classes end up on the republic capital planet of Coruscant. The republic is recovering the beating it took during the war, when the Jedi temple was destroyed by Sith Lord Darth Malgus. You set out to stop the production of “slave collars” by the republic.
Segment 6 (22:05)
Imperial characters classes are introduced. Home planet of Dromund Kaas. They’re about to raid the complex of renegade Sith Lord Grathum. Different style of negotiation.
Segment 7 (25:25)
Highlighting the imperial planet of Nar Shaddaa, a central hub of underworld activities. Empire forces are trying to secure an alliance with the huts. There’s also mention of a complex created for a “Darth Rivan,” which should ring a bell from the original Knights of the Old Republic.
Segment 8 (28:08)
Return to Alderaan, where the Republic and the Empire are backing opposing sides of a bloody civil war. Republic and Imperial heroes will square off against each other in this PvP quest.
Segment 9 (31:34)
Second gameplay demonstration, this time with people pulled up from the audience!
Segment 10 (38:00)
A cinematic featuring Darth Rivan’s final fate…and the appearance by HK 47!
Segment 11 (39:00)
Fan Q&A with lead writer Dan Erickson. There’s some good ones in there.

The under is 13-6 in Miami in this series recently.
In game three there was no defensive effort on Miami’s part in the first half. They tried to come back in the second half but they dug themselves too big a hole. LeBron James needs to be more aggressive going to the rack like he did in game two when he scored 35 points. Bosh has to get more than 4 touches. San Antonio adjusted to Miami’s small ball line-up by starting Boris Diaw in place of Tiago Splitter. Now it is Spoelstra’s turn to adjust. Miami has been great after playoff losses for the last three years, but this series could be over if they don’t play a lot better than in game three.

Book Review: Readings
Personal Days' themes of corporate downsizing and office malaise have been done before and done better
Reviewed by John Davidson, Fri., May 30, 2008
Personal Days: A Novelby Ed Park
Random House Trade Paperbacks, 256 pp., $13 (paper)
When did our literature begin taking its lead from film and television, rather than the other way around? And what, if anything, does it mean for our culture when prominent young members of the literary community take their inspiration from sitcoms?
Ed Park is the former editor of The Village Voice Literary Supplement and a founding editor of The Believer. Given such credentials, one sets upon his debut novel with a certain level of expectation. Yet in Personal Days, Park has elected to write a story that in all likelihood would never have found the page without the pre-existence of a well-known BBC television series. That series, The Office, barely survived translation from one culture to another, let alone from one medium to another. What's more, another book, published more than a year ago and to considerable acclaim – Joshua Ferris' Then We Came to the End – already took up themes of corporate downsizing and office malaise and created something far more original and literary. Still, if this book's middling execution rankles, it's the lack of ambition that truly disappoints.
So yes, Personal Days is set almost exclusively within the confines of an office. Though the names and faces of those who inhabit this particular office may be different, their stories are most familiar. Naturally there is an incompetent boss, blissfully unaware of his own ineptitude and of the scorn visited on him by a group of underlings. Then there are the underlings themselves – the great unfulfilled – overeducated men and women, sleepwalking through lives of corporate dread. Finally, there are the company heads: mostly invisible but always restructuring, reorganizing, visiting ruin on the lives of others.
Personal Days intermittently amuses but consistently lets down. And, contrary to the ambitious claims of the book's publicist, the modern argot employed is far from "Orwellian." Two hundred pages in, its author slips into a different gear (it's a downward shift), and the book veers helplessly toward the unreadable. A single, 40-page paragraph ensues, serving as both summation and explanation of all that's preceded it. At last, there is a sense of an author grown weary of his own book – and understandably so. Then we reach the end ... and I regret to say, not soon enough.

Tacoma starter Darren McCaughan delivered the Rainiers first sincere no-hit bid of the 2022 season last night against Sacramento, going seven and a third innings before finally permitting a hit. Sacramento’s Isan Diaz doubled cleanly into the right-center gap to break it up with one out in the eighth inning.
McCaughan was in total command last night, throwing 116 pitches and 78 for strikes. The statcast system identified 49% of his total pitches as sliders and another 13% as change-ups, and he was using those pitches early in the count and his sinking fastball later. He got strikes on 72% of his sliders (41 of 57 total thrown).
He was perfect until there were two outs in the sixth inning, having retired the first 17 batters of the game. He walked Ka’Ai Tom on a full count pitch to end the bid for perfection.
The no-hitter remained in play, although McCaughan’s rising pitch count was going to make it very difficult for the Rainiers coaching staff to leave him in if he kept getting outs. McCaughan’s previous season high for pitches in a game was 96, and he was twenty past that number when he finally allowed a hit. It helped that with an off-day earlier this week and another coming on Monday, McCaughan was pitching on five days rest and can easily be scheduled on at least five days rest for his next start.
The Rainiers last no-hitter is almost old enough to drink. There have been ten no-hitters pitched by Tacoma since the franchise inception in 1960, and John Halama’s perfect game on July 7, 2001 remains the most recent one.
YESTERDAY: The Rainiers made it three straight wins and six victories in the last seven games with a 4-1 decision over Sacramento on Wednesday night. The pitching starred again, as Darren McCaughan had a no-hit bid broken up with one out in the eighth inning. McCaughan struck out a career-best 11 while earning his fourth straight win. Kevin Padlo had two hits including a two-run homer in his return to the Rainiers lineup.
TODAY: Sacramento River Cats (24-38) at Tacoma Rainiers (25-36), 7:05.
OPPONENT AFFILIATION: San Francisco Giants.
OPPOSING MANAGER: Dave Brundage.
SEASON SERIES: Tacoma leads, 6-2.
PITCHERS: RHP Anthony DeSclafani (0-0, 0.00) at RHP Konner Wade (1-2, 5.59)
This is the second rehabilitation start for DeSclafani, who has been on the San Francisco Giants injured list since late April with an ankle injury. He went three innings in his first outing, so he could go four or five tonight.
ROSTER MOVES: Yesterday was a rare no-moves day, and nothing has been announced yet today.
HOT HITTERS: Forrest Wall has reached base safely in eight straight games, and he has a .415 on-base percentage so far this month… Brian O’Keefe has reached base safely in 25 of the 27 games he has played in… Jarred Kelenic has hit safely in 15 of his last 16 games, but he suffered some mild hamstring tightness on Saturday and is day-to-day… Mason McCoy is hitting .326-3-8 with a 1.045 OPS in June.
OPPONENT NEWS: Sacramento won the last two games of its home series against Reno, ending an 11-game losing streak (looking further back, they had lost 14 of 15 games)… the River Cats have lost four straight series, including four-of-six to Tacoma at Sutter Health Park in May… David Villar leads the league with 16 home runs. He has a five-game hitting streak… Sacramento manager Dave Brundage served as Tacoma’s manager in 2006, he was also the Rainiers hitting coach from 1998 to 2000… reliever Taylor Williams is a former Mariner who was traded to San Diego for Matt Brash.

Massive Disneyland Attraction Database
A macabre view of Quip and Pale's Treefin when it's covered in responsibility
Quip and Pale's Treefin
October 16, 2010
Avg. queue length:
Nobody can figure out what the target audience of Quip and Pale's Treefin is. It at one time had an awesome slide, but some stuck-up paralegals had it removed to reduce their paperwork load.
- If traveling with small children, you may want to wait until they're asleep while taking them on this attraction.
- Before experiencing this attraction, go on something more relaxing.
- Minimum height 18" (or 9" and willing to sign a waiver).
- Attraction may be too startling for children.
- For your comfort, you should be in good health and free from motion sickness, low blood pressure, or kidney or nasal problems, or other states that could lessen your enjoyment of this attraction.
- The law requires you to hold your children and legs (not necessarily in that order) inside the attraction at most times.
- Strollers indicate that you may have a child too young for this attraction.
- Because this is a musical attraction, the uninsured are required to bring their own pirate harnesses.
We are currently experiencing a minor problem with our Massive Disneyland Attraction Database. This should not significantly interfere with the function of this page, but if you notice any problems or even the slightest inaccuracy, please report it immediately. Thank you for your prayers.
