What I’m wearing:
James Perse racerback dress in Porcupine: a lot of you seem to like this dress – in this color specifically – so here it is on me. I actually have a hard time with this dress, I had it altered to shorten the straps because I think I’m just too short in the torso for this dress. It still doesn’t fit exactly like I’d like it too; I think if I could cut it in the middle and remove a few inches and sew it back together and there would be no seam, I would do that…but even my super-fabulous tailor can’t do that! The best way I can explain it is that this dress hits me at the hip where it should be hitting me at the waist. The a-line shape is starting at the hip instead of the waist on me, which is why it looks “off.” Anyway, I still like it and will wear it, but that’s been my struggle with this particular dress.

Vern and Bonnie Bullough Collection on Sex and Gender @ California State Library
The Vern and Bonnie Bullough Collection on Sex and Gender was established by former CSUN faculty member Vern Bullough. He donated his personal research library to the Oviatt starting in 1973, and continued making donations through the 1990s. Its purpose is to document social attitudes and studies of sex and gender from ancient times to the present, in support of CSUN curricula and research. In addition to donating his personal collection, Vern Bullough also established an endowment that supports the Oviatt in continuing to build the collection, and funds special programming relating to sex, gender, and the campus community.

A virtual image (as opposed to a real image) is produced by an optical system (a combination of lenses and/or mirrors) when light rays from a source do not cross to form an image. Instead they can be 'traced back' to a point behind the lens or mirror. Virtual images can be seen directly without using a screen for projection.
The most common virtual images are those produced by a flat or plane mirror. As shown in the diagram below, the virtual image appears the same distance behind the plane mirror as the object is in front of the mirror.

24 June 2019
The Department for Health and Community Services (HCS) has responded to the Comptroller and Auditor General's (C&AG) findings of Adult and Older Adult Services, which is part of what was previously Community and Social Services, run by the then Health and Social Services Department.
In April this year, the C&AG published a report called ‘Community and Social Services for Adults and Older Adults – follow-up’ – which followed an initial report by the C&AG in 2015 – and HCS have now responded to this.
The HCS response to the report, called 'Health and Community Services response to Comptroller and Auditor General follow-up report on Community & Social Services for Adults and Older Adults' seeks to address the concerns raised by the Comptroller and Auditor General in her April 2019 report.
In their response, published this week, the Health and Community Services (HCS) department (formerly known as HSSD) fully accepts the C&AG’s findings.
Group managing director for HCS, Rob Sainsbury, said: “The newly established Executive team for HCS are working at pace to address the issues outlined by the C&AG.
“We fully accept the findings of the C&AG. However, our report in response seeks to outline the fundamental reform that is currently underway across HCS that goes some way to addressing the issues raised in the C&AG report.”
He added: “The timing of this follow-up report coincides with the implementation of the recommendations from the response to the ‘Governance Arrangements for Health and Social Care’ report that HCS published in October 2018.
“As we outlined in that response, HCS are currently undertaking fundamental changes in our approach to governance which includes establishing a streamlined board and supporting committee structure. Alongside the governance work, substantial changes are being implemented within health and social care as part of the One Government reforms.”
As part of the new organisational arrangements being undertaken across Health and Community Services, the former Community and Social Services department is integrated as part of ‘One HCS’.
The roles and responsibilities of the new HCS senior leadership team also reflect this change with a wider remit of responsibility covers the whole of HCS.
Mr Sainsbury added: “The new model aims to ensure consistency across all of our care groups, which includes the services that were part of the former C&SS department. Implementation of the new target operation model in HCS will also seek to address many of the concerns raised in this C&AG follow-up report.”
In order to ensure that Community Services and those provided in the General Hospital are more closely linked, the organisational changes across HCS, with full oversight of both General Hospital and Community Services mean that there will be:
- increased service user involvement in the design of services;
- commitment to strengthening clinical and professional leadership so that more responsibility and increased accountability in decision making can be devolved to front line staff;
- better care co-ordination and integration across HCS;
- a clearer focus on safety and quality for all users;
- stronger performance management; and
- streamlined governance and more visible lines of accountable reporting in a leaner structure.
Mr Sainsbury said: “The HCS Management Executive team believe that, by significantly strengthening and streamlining our governance arrangements and implementing the new TOM, we will go a significant way to addressing a number of the fundamental issues that the C&AG raises. These improvements will ensure that there is regular assurance across all of our services, particularly in relation to management of budgets, quality, risk, resources and performance.”
The report published by the C&AG in April found that:
There were significant concerns highlighted in relation to the services provided to some of the island’s most vulnerable individuals across community, social care and mental health services. The collective findings also highlight the inequity between physical, mental health, community and social care services.
HCS respond that these findings are consistent with many health and care jurisdictions, and, further support the ‘Case for Change’ for HCS to ensure there is greater focus on health and care outside of the General Hospital remit.
In their response to the Comptroller and Auditor General, the HCS response states there are three linked pieces of work which are ongoing which will ensure that Community Services and General Hospital services are delivered with parity. These are:
- The development and implementation of the Government Plan, Common Strategic Policy 2; Improve islanders' well-being and mental and physical health.
- The Implementation of the ONEHCS vision through the new Target Operating Model for the department. This ambition clearly sets out the objective to fully integrate Health & Community services, ensuring that there is parity between functions and continuity in care for our islanders.
- Developing the Future Care model, which sees a greater focus on care closer to home, targeted at the most vulnerable groups within the island.

Geissele Super Reaction Rod (5.56/.223) For Sale
The Super Reaction Rod was designed with the advanced armorer in mind, an armorer who frequently works with 5.56/.223 caliber with over torqued, seized or Loctited barrel nuts.
The Super Reaction Rod works by pre-loading the barrel nut extension to the lugs of the Super Reaction Rod to eliminate any movement before adding torque to the barrel nut, while at the same time fixing the upper receiver into place. Having the barrel nut extension mated to the Super Reaction Rod lugs and fixing the upper receiver before torqueing will remove any potential stress that could be placed on the index pin. This allows the armorer to place tremendous torque on the barrel nut. The Super Reaction Rod’s pre-loading system can also be removed to allow it to work just like a standard Reaction Rod, which allows upper work to be performed in a 360° both vertically, and horizontally.

A properly designed landing web page gets rid of disturbances and guides site visitors towards your preferred objective, causing greater conversion rates and even more leads.
Unlike the homepage of your internet site, a touchdown page shows a solitary call-to-action (CTA) and is developed to concentrate on one objective or item. Landing pages typically leave out typical aspects like headers and footers to keep the page concise and focused, and can be linked to a URL with UTM specifications to track web traffic.
The Beehiiv platform makes it simple to create a landing web page with the simple, user-friendly drag-and-drop builder. Beginning with a blank page or choose from the many pre-designed templates. Quickly edit the design, pictures, message and kinds to personalize your touchdown page.

I recently learned that East Potomac, one of DC’s public golf venues, offers holes “for rent”. One hour of a small hole (about 110 yards) and some beat-up range balls retails for $16. If you return your shag bag of range ball (which you need to do – they hold your ID hostage), you also receive a range token afterward.
I wish the balls were better, but it’s otherwise a great deal, and much better practice than hitting balls off of their rock-hard mats for an hour.
I rented my hole an hour before sunset, yielding comfortable temperatures and a beautiful pink sky as I practiced, with views of the Potomac and the monuments surrounding me.
I practiced some full and half wedges, with my iPad videoing swings and my Mevo measuring them. Yardages were sort of irrelevant because of the balls given, so I mostly focused on contact and consistency. All in all, it was a fun way to practice.

The more senior of this duo grew up with prognostication by disease stage and was taught that all stage IV cancers behaved the same. In the past 3 decades, we have become much more cognizant of the heterogeneity in outcome within stage. Individual Kaplan-Meier plots by stage separate well but hide the fact that there are many early deaths in early stages of cancer and a number of long-term survivors among patients with advanced stages of the disease.
We noted this point when we developed a nomogram for the outcome of resected gastric cancer1 and compared the nomogram-predicted survival with survival predicted by the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system. Although stage I and stage IV were associated with comparable AJCC stage and nomogram survival, within intermediate stages IB through IIIB, individual nomograms predicting survival could vary by 60% to 80%.
Murray F. Brennan, MD
Mithat Gönen, PhD
This variability was also recognized within stage IV resected colorectal metastases,2 where within-stage prognostic 5-year tumor recurrence predictions varied from 14% to 60%, depending on the combination of adverse risk factors that make up the component index score. This is equally true when we look at survival following the recurrence of a resected extremity sarcoma3: a < 5 cm, low-grade recurrence occurring after 16 months has a 4-year disease-specific survival of 81%, whereas a > 5-cm local recurrence that is high-grade and occurs within 16 months has a disease-specific survival rate of 18%. Intuitively, that makes sense. Aggressive recurrence would be expected to define aggressive biology and the converse. But in classifications of stage and prognostic clinical scores, the individual variables that create the prediction are all weighted equally. Nomograms help by weighting variables but do not address the consequences of combinations of variables.
The less senior of us grew up with prediction by regression models. These tried-and-true models on which nomograms are based are very good at capturing the “low-hanging fruit,” like the prognostic effects of size, the number of positive nodes, and site-specific histologic criteria. The focus in these models is on main (or marginal or direct) effects of variables, not the effects of combinations. This helps with simplicity and interpretability but might miss subtle prognostic effects. They provide us with a reliable silhouette of the future, but details remain blurry and hence the heterogeneity in our predictions.
Managing the Discrepancies
So, how to deal with this heterogeneity in outcome within classical stage or prognostic indices? In nomograms, we try to provide a solution with the confidence limits of the individual prediction. Those limits will be defined by the number of observations that are contained for the specific individual. An attempt to address this occurs when we go from a sarcoma-specific nomogram to a histology-specific nomogram.4 Unfortunately, as we progressively define each tumor type based on a unique signature, we have ever-smaller data sets with ever more imprecision.
One option is to embrace more complex artificial intelligence solutions—the Reverend Bayes would be pleased. He just wanted to allow experience to guide the question of validity. What we are searching for is how to encompass the significance of interrelated variables. That is to say, not only is the solitary variable significant, but some combinations of variables have an equal or perhaps greater impact than the component variable. A statistician would model this with an interaction between variables in a regression model, but the number of parameters in these models grows exponentially, and things get quickly out of hand.
“[Regression models] provide us with a reliable silhouette of the future, but details remain blurry and hence the heterogeneity in our predictions.”— Murray F. Brennan, MD, and Mithat Gönen, PhD
Tweet this quote
Another possibility is the Optimal Classification Tree, as promoted by Bertsimas.5,6 It is not a new concept,7 but it is highly dependent on advances in artificial intelligence and computing power to be realistic. Although this strategy is still binary, leading with the strongest predictor of outcome, a sequential combination of factors can be obtained that accurately predicts disease-specific survival at a particular point in time, much like branches of a tree. The method does not weight components in a linear fashion, but it can provide variables that—given one is present or absent—predict the next most important variable to define the ultimate outcome. That process conveys the combination and hence emphasizes the interdependence of individual variables.
This fundamental idea of building classification trees, also called recursive partitioning, is prone to overfitting and requires careful validation, but with the right data set and a rigorous approach, might turn the silhouette into a portrait. Once we learn how to grow a tree for making predictions, we are in a position to make a forest out of it. Random forests—so-called because they contain many of these classification trees, each simultaneously based on a randomly perturbed version of the original data set—tend to have higher predictive power but less interpretability. With one tree, we can see the branches and leaves clearly. With thousands of them, we literally cannot see the trees for the forest. We have just slid from the world of parsimonious, transparent, but only moderately powerful predictive models to black box algorithms that trade accuracy for interpretability.
What does a clinician do in the face of heterogeneity that may require complex computational intervention? Inspired by the old Russian proverb, “Trust, but verify” (doveryai, no proveryai), we suggest, “Embrace, but question.” Welcome modern methodology, but keep critical thinking. Seek a balance between reducing and explaining heterogeneity. The road ahead is like a fractal—it looks regular and smooth from above but has many twists and sharp turns.

A local environmental group supports the BC Government’s pledge to require sales of all new light-duty cars and trucks to be zero emission vehicles by 2040.
Vice president of Wildsight Invermere Cam Gilles says it’s a necessary step.
“In the Kootenays the largest source of carbon emissions is from transportation,” says Gilles. “Anything we can do to reduce our carbon emissions from transportation is a really good thing, and strange as it seems, government forcing manufacturers to produce these vehicles is a necessary step.”
Premier John Horgan says the legislation will set targets of 10% zero-emission vehicle sales by 2025, 30% by 2030 and 100% by 2040.
Gilles feels the first two goals are attainable but feels work still needs to be done to reach the 100% barrier.
“Zero-emission vehicle market is changing rapidly right now in terms of the kinds of vehicles that people are manufacturing as well as the charging infrastructure that’s in place to support those vehicles, so it could be attainable, it’s a long ways off.”
The province says they’ll be taking steps to make zero-emission vehicles more affordable and will expand BC’s fast-charger network to 151 sites.
The BC Government is also increasing its provincial incentive program by $20 million to encourage more residents to switch to zero-emission vehicles.
The incentive program will be reviewed to look into further expansion.

California IAF Leverages Covid-19 Relief for Undocumented Immigrants Using Old-School Practices on New Technologies
When politics, like most other activities, was forced to migrate online, the IAF didn’t seem an obvious winner. For 80 years, the group has embraced one-on-one conversations and “house meetings” to create organized communities whose strong bonds endure beyond a single campaign. These relationships, forged in person, smoothed the transition to digital organizing.
After the virus hit, a flurry of texts, calls and social media outreach followed as California’s IAF groups scrambled to get their people on Zoom calls. The news was grim: Budgets were tight and layoffs widespread. Undocumented people, often the hardest-hit population, were excluded from most forms of aid. The Cal-EITC push emerged from these digital house meetings. “It came from the lament of the people,” said the Rev. Arturo Corral of Our Lady Queen of Angels / La Placita Catholic Church in Los Angeles, a One LA leader.
In late April, local leaders began gathering Zoom participants from their local networks. Meanwhile, organizers sought out influential lawmakers, focusing on three Budget Committee members: State Assembly members David Chiu and Eloise Gómez Reyes and State Sen. Maria Elena Durazo. All three pledged to work to expand the tax credit.
The IAF groups were “not at all” confident that the tax credit expansion would end up in the governor’s budget. “Most people told us this was not going to happen,” [One LA Lead Organizer Robert] Hoo said. But after weeks of further organizing, it was included in Gov. Newsom’s June 30 budget.

DAI, TMO, IAF Raise Alarm on Impact of Executive Order on Undocumented Immigrants
Tuesday’s memo comes as the Census Bureau begins outreach to the nation’s hardest-to-count groups, including immigrants. If the government is seen as trying to disadvantage them, some might be less likely to respond to the survey, immigrant advocates said.
“This is an order designed to sow fear and mistrust between peoples and becomes a matter of life and death as the US battles a deadly pandemic,” said a statement from the Industrial Areas Foundation, a group that works with churches and organizers in the West and Southwest to educate and support minority communities.
Soco[rro] Perales, an organizer with Dallas Area Interfaith, said that organizers will continue to encourage immigrant families to cooperate with the Census.
“That information cannot be shared” with immigration authorities, she said. “Everybody still needs to be counted and it is still safe.”

DAI Raises Alarm That Undocumented Immigrants are Self-Evicting
“When they want to ask for help from a nonprofit, and the staff only speaks English, they feel intimidated and don’t want to go on,” said Adriana Godines, a volunteer for Dallas Area Interfaith, a community group made up of religious congregations, schools and other nonprofits. “Even if I tell them that there will be no problem and they won’t ask for your Social Security, they prefer not to [ask for help].”
And even people who go to the justice of the peace courts, where eviction cases are heard, face similar hurdles.
“A lot of JP courts won’t have bilingual speakers,” said Lizbeth Parra-Davila, a housing fellow at the University of Texas School of Law. “Throughout Texas, that has been the case where I’ll call JP courts and they’ll say, ‘Yeah, we don’t have any Spanish speakers. We don’t have any Spanish interpreters.’”
Godines has seen homes with 12 people living together as people who self-evict move in with loved ones.
“It’s people of all ages. Kids, adults, sometimes senior citizens,” she said.
Godines has worked with families searching for rental assistance, and she said that funds are running low among nonprofit organizations that are allowed to serve undocumented immigrants.
“We want to do more, but we don’t have more resources,” Godines said. “But the little that we have in this community, we give it.”
Auxiliary Bishop Greg Kelly of the Catholic Diocese of Dallas explained that many priests and churchgoers have pooled together resources to pay for rent and food for undocumented migrants. But he, too, worries how long such resources will last.
“I don’t think we know yet how serious this is or how long it will last. When the city assistance program opened, the help available was overwhelmed in the first couple of hours,” Kelly said. “It could be a very lengthy situation. There’s so much uncertainty.”

Coloradans for the Common Good Helps Comcast Close Digital Divide and Include Immigrants in Nationwide Program
[Additional background from the Colorado Sun:]
In March, Comcast began offering [a] discounted service for free for 60 days to new families. The service usually costs $9.95 per month and caters to low-income households. Comcast also increased the service’s internet speed to 25 mbps and plans to continue making it free for 60 days to new eligible customers for the rest of 2020. The company is also offering free public Wi-Fi through the end of the year.
But the Internet Essentials program didn’t necessarily appeal to everyone who qualified. Coloradans for the Common Good this spring approached Comcast to ask the internet giant to modify its application, which asked for Social Security numbers even though other forms of identification were acceptable.
That deterred some immigrant families from attempting to enroll in the service. Coloradans for the Common Good — composed of churches, community organizations and teachers’ unions — reached out to lawmakers and Comcast’s corporate leaders pleading for change. After a series of email exchanges and Zoom meetings, Comcast adjusted its application nationwide to better reflect the variety of identification forms accepted. That change took effect in June, said Marilyn Winokur, co-chair of Coloradans for the Common Good.
“We want to get as many, many families that don’t have internet access to have the access that they need in order to participate in remote learning should it happen again,” Winokur said.

As Tax Deadline Approaches, California IAF Celebrates Inclusion of Some Undocumented Families in State Tax Break Program
[Excerpts from various articles]
In initial talks with state legislatures, the organizers and leaders of Communities Organized for Relational Power in Action, or COPA were not too sure that the state would budge on who would qualify for California's Earned Income Tax credit, or CalEITC. The tax credit, is intended to give cash back to the poorest working families, but as Covid-19 hit it was clear the threshold to qualify for the credit was not reflective of who the poorest were in the state.
In COPA's eyes, structural change was needed in the form of extending the tax credit to more taxpayers, including undocumented workers. The monetary relief the state circulated to lessen the economic blow of Covid-19 was a one time payment of up to $500 per individual and the deadline to qualify for the aid ended in June 30. This is in to comparison to the Federal CARES Act which provide a one time payment of $1,200.
Faith and community leaders with the California Industrial Areas Foundation (IAF) celebrated a victory Tuesday after Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a budget that includes an expansion of the California Earned Income Tax Credit (Cal EITC) to undocumented workers with young children.
While not a full expansion to all undocumented workers, the tax credit will help tens of thousands of families with at least one child under the age of 6 who pay their taxes using an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN). Some households may receive up to $2,600 each year, depending on their income and family size.
According to IAF, undocumented immigrants represent 10% of the California workforce, and their labor has largely fallen into work deemed “essential” throughout the pandemic — in agriculture, food distribution and service, elder care and child care, among other occupations....
On May 5, more than 1,200 California IAF leaders, along with 10 Bishops and nine state legislators, convened on Zoom to press Newsom to expand the Cal EITC. More than 1,000 faith and community leaders signed on to a letter in support of the expansion, and in the thick of budget negotiations they organized hundreds of leaders to send letters to the governor and to the top leadership of the senate and assembly....
“We commend Gov. Newsom and state legislators for investing in families, especially during a deficit year,” said Rabbi Susan Leider with Congregation Kol Shofar, Marin Organizing Committee. “We know they have faced enormous pressure to cut back, and instead they have paid in. This tax credit is not just a one-time handout, but will help families year after year. Our leaders have been working for months to make sure our essential workers aren’t left behind, and this is a huge step forward.”

California IAF Wins Victory for Essential Workers: $65M in Added Funding for Undocumented Families
After more than 1,200 leaders gathered online, signed petitions and pressed upon state legislators the importance of expanding access to state Earned Income Tax Credit benefits to undocumented taxpayers, California IAF leaders declared a victory for essential workers.
“We commend Governor Newsom and state legislators for investing in families, especially during a deficit year,” said Rabbi Susan Leider with Congregation Kol Shofar, Marin Organizing Committee. “We know they have faced enormous pressure to cut back, and instead they have paid in. This tax credit is not just a one time handout, but will help families year after year. Our leaders have been working for months to make sure our essential workers aren’t left behind, and this is a huge step forward.”
While not a full expansion to all undocumented workers, the tax credit will help tens of thousands of families with at least one child under the age of six who pay their taxes using an ITIN. Some households may receive up to $2,600 each year, depending on their income and family size, a significant investment in some of the most vulnerable families impacted by the pandemic.
Allies also celebrated the victory, including Senator Maria Elena Durazo: “Under the states’ current economic situation, we are happy to be able to expand the Earned Income Tax Credit program for ITIN filing California families.... Thank you to the California IAF members for continuing to push for this inclusion, which United Way sees as a fundamental tool to move families out of poverty. With your continued advocacy, California will move out of this global pandemic, a more united and inclusive state.”

TMO Urges City & County to Focus Rental Aid on Most Vulnerable
TMO is among the coalition of nonprofits that have approached the city and county to urge the equitable distribution of those funds.
“We asked City Council to commit $100 million of the $404 million in the Coronavirus Relief Fund to rental assistance. But the next day, they committed $15 million that was distributed online in a matter of minutes to about 12,000 families,” Higgs said.
“A survey shows of the 700,000 rental units in the area, up to 85,000 cannot pay rent at this time. A huge number of the people are service workers, men and women of color, hourly workers who lost their jobs with little if any savings. The need is so immense,” he said.
With any moratoriums on evictions ending, justices of the peace may resume processing eviction notices by mid-June and constables will start showing up at apartments, he said.
“It doesn’t make sense to evict someone who has paid regularly but is not able to currently pay during this crisis. Plus, when someone in uniform shows up to evict, it’s scary as heck, especially for those who may be undocumented,” Higgs said.

Central TX Interfaith Leverages $36M in Austin Rental Aid
On the heels of leveraging $10 Million in housing assistance from Travis County, Central Texas Interfaith leaders called on the City of Austin to provide at least $40 Milllion in rental assistance for economically distressed families in the COVID-19 crisis. On Thursday, June 4, the Austin City Council unanimously responded.
Central Texas Interfaith commends the Mayor, Austin City Council and City Manager for approving a COVID spending framework that includes nearly $24 million new dollars for the RENT Program plus $12 million new dollars for the RISE Program for direct income support.
That, combined with other additional new sources, puts the City of Austin well over the $40 million dollars in new rental assistance that Central Texas Interfaith has called for. It also includes tens of millions more in financial support for those in need. We look forward to working with the City of Austin and other organizations on implementation of these programs and beginning to look at our longer term economic recovery and workforce strategies.

Texas IAF Orgs Fight for Language Access to COVID-19 Info
Claudia Cruz, whose primary language is Spanish, said Dallas Area Interfaith— a coalition of Dallas religious congregations, schools and nonprofits — has been her main source of information since the COVID-19 pandemic began because “it’s the most accessible,” Cruz said.
“Our only source of information has been through DAI and through the people in our community,” Cruz said.
"We have to be informed because we are the most vulnerable," [Maria] Ramirez explains.
The information Ramirez has gotten throughout the pandemic has mostly been through her own efforts seeking it out and through the community groups she was already involved with. Ramirez's church sends out information to congregants, as does The Metropolitan Organization of Houston, a local nonprofit of which she is a member.

This book offers a large scale reassessment of the function of Roman emperor over three centuries (from Augustus to Constantine) and of the social realities of this exercise of power. Concentrating on the patterns of communication between the emperor and his subjects, the author shows that such communications were normally initiated by the subjects – whether grouped in cities or other associations, or individually and that the emperor fulfilled his role primarily by making responses to them or giving decisions or verdicts between them.
The book casts new light on a number of detailed historical questions such as the sources of the emperor's wealth and the ways he spent it; the imperial residences and the mobility of the court; and the relatively small and simple entourage that the emperor needed to perform his functions. But above all, it emphasizes two major historical themes: the steady detachment of the emperor from the republican institutions of the city of Rome; and the way in which relations between Emperor and Church were shaped by the emperor's long-standing relations with cities, temples and associations in the pagan world.
Drawing on a wide range of evidence, from literature and legal writings to inscriptions and papyri, the main text can be read without any knowledge o f Latin or Greek.

Democratic AG Candidate Rolls Out Anti-Corruption Plan
The Democratic candidate for attorney general is rolling out a new slate of policy proposals to crackdown on what he sees as corruption in state government. The plan includes an easy way for everyday Ohioans to be government watchdogs.
Democratic former federal attorney Steve Dettelbach, who’s running for attorney general, says the Statehouse is operating on a broken system where groups with strong lobbying power get special treatment.
“People are now at the point where the culture in Columbus is they think not getting caught is the same thing as being innocent,” said Dettelbach.
Dettelbach proposes a crackdown which includes stiffer penalties for taking bribes and tougher sanctions for conflicts of interest. He adds that he wants to make data collected by the Ohio Ethics Commission easily accessible to the public through an easy to use web tool.
Republican Auditor Dave Yost is also running for AG. His campaign manager says Dettelbach is lobbing baseless allegations with no proof just to score political points.


Sony has confirmed that one of its most anticipated exclusives called Days Gone will be releasing next year, as per Eurogamer who first got hold of the information from Sony itself. Sony also states that they might be able to provide an update on the game's official launch date.
The first gameplay demo of this post-apocalyptic open world game was featured during the 2016 E3 conference. The demo featured the game's protagonist being chased by hordes of zombies. A follow-up trailer was also revealed at E3 2017 (see video below) which showcased the stealth mechanics of the game. Expect another trailer and perhaps an official launch date for the game in this year's E3 conference. Stay tuned for more gaming news and updates.

Calling all fairytale fantasy fans, your next indulgence is coming. The first trailer for “The Huntsman: Winter’s War,” a prequel to “Snow White and the Huntsman,” got its official release November 18th, and it looks intense to say the least. With a combination of new and old faces, extremely elaborate costume designs, some intense action sequences, and a threatening voice over, this initial trailer has enough to stir a high level of anticipation for the April 22nd release date.
The trailer suggests a battle between the Huntsman (Chris Hemsworth) and Freya (Emily Blunt), otherwise known as the Ice Queen. At the Huntsman’s side is Sara (Jessica Chastain), alternatively named the Warrior, who provides a powerful ally in battle and a romantic interest as well. But, let’s not forget an exciting component of team evil includes Charlize Theron’s reprisal of Ravenna, the Evil Queen. This star-studded foursome definitely suggests some awesome exchanges between villainy and goodness.
Granted the film does have a bit of a “Frozen” feel to it with Blunt playing the Ice Queen who has the ability to freeze what she wills. But, the film does not seem like one where there will be sing-a-longs or iceskating handholding nor does it seem like one in which Emma Swan will come save the day (sorry “Once Upon a Time” fans). After all, a battle to the death and a morbid voiceover courtesy of Blunt suggests one can assume a different take will be provided for the frozen aspect. If you’re looking for an Olaf-style snowman to lighten the mood, prepare to be disappointed.
Blunt’s return as the sinfully fun antagonist is long overdue. Not since “The Devil Wears Prada,” where she played the terribly amusing assistant Emily, has Blunt found herself working against the protagonist. The return is most welcome as her portrayal of the Ice Queen in “The Huntsman: Winter’s War” trailer looks both terrifying and exciting. The power of Blunt as the film’s villain is only strengthened by the pairing with Theron. Theron’s electrifying performance as Ravenna in the first film nearly stole the show. Putting Blunt and Theron together definitely ensures some powerful scenes, full of treachery and sheer evil.
The addition of Chastain to the Huntsman’s cause is an extremely intriguing development as well. Chastain, with her more recent films, such as “The Martian,” has begun to show a more physical side to herself in addition to her layered performances. With qualities combining elements of Katniss Everdeen and the Black Widow, Chastain’s performance is something to anticipate. Considering the film is a prequel to the 2012, things may not turn out well for Chastain’s character though.
As for Snow White, now that she has been taken out of the picture, the prequel is free of that question of how do we put our own spin on such a well-known fairytale. The only question becomes what happens before Snow White enters the picture.

Your garage door opener is a reliable piece of machinery that drives the springs and cables to open and close your garage door. Yet, no matter how reliable that piece of machinery is, all machines break down and need to be replaced. Now if your opener quits working altogether, that is a sure sign you need a new garage door opener installed. Yet sometimes your opener has issues or problems that are indicative of it needing to be replaced that can be overlooked. Here are some common garage door opener problems that might mean you need to replace your opener.
Your garage door opens, then immediately reverses direction.
If you push the button and the garage door begins to open and then completely reverses direction, this could have a simple explanation. If the sensors are blocked, dirty, or an object is in the way, this could be the root cause. However, if your garage door continues to act this way despite repeated attempts to clear the sensors and area of debris, it may be time to look at replacing the opener.
The garage door opens and begins vibrating.
A little vibration during opening or closing is normal, but if your opener begins vibrating violently when in operation, this could be a sign of a serious internal problem that should be checked out immediately.
You start hearing the opener make weird noises.
In addition to vibrating, if the opener suddenly begins making noises you have never heard before, it might be time for a service call or a complete replacement. The existence of a noise you are unfamiliar with is almost always indicative of some type of internal problem so if you begin hearing something you have never heard before, take action immediately. If you catch the issue in time, a simple repair versus a replacement may be in order. Older chain-driven models are certainly much noisier and the noise could be from a rusty chain-driven opener. Newer garage door openers are belt-driven and are generally much quieter but any new noise that you do not recognize should be investigated immediately.
The garage door opener doesn’t always work.
You push the button…nothing. You push it again, still nothing. Then, a third time, and finally the garage door opens. This is a common occurrence and can often caused by bad batteries (if you are using your handheld garage door opener fob), or simply a poor connection in one of the wires somewhere. A simple diagnosis can often uncover the problem and get your garage door opener working perfectly again. But, if you have tried everything and the garage door is still unresponsive, the motor may have seen its last day and the time to replace has finally come.
If you are experiencing any of these signs, the Houston garage door repair experts at Spectrum Overhead Door LLC can diagnose your garage door opener problem and see if it is best to replace or just repair your opener motor. The greater Houston area is the only market we serve because our company is locally owned and operated.

Colombian police claimed to have captured over 1,600 members of illegal armed groups during 2012, local media reported on Friday.
Police said that out of more than 1,600 arrests, 684 members of these groups had been tried and sentenced in court during the course of the year, according to newspaper El Tiempo.
The gangs, known by the government-imposed term “Bacrim,” or emergent criminal groups, are thought to have a presence in large portions of Colombia.
Most of the captured belonged to the drug gang ‘Los Rastrojos‘ (683), followed by the neo-paramilitary group ‘Los Urabeños‘ (483), ‘ERPAC‘ (239) and ‘Los Paisas’ with 173. The rest of the captured belonged to other criminal groups, reported newspaper El Heraldo.
The largest of the them, Los Urabeños, is considered the heir of the notorious disbanded paramilitary group AUC, although the organization is now led by a former commander of the leftist EPL guerrilla movement. Los Rastrojos, on the other hand, is a drug-trafficking group that can trace its roots back to the Cali-based ‘Norte del Valle Cartel.’ Antioquia-based Los Paisas began as a rural wing of the Medellin crime syndicate, ‘Oficina de Envigado,’ but has since become independent. ERPAC, ‘The Popular Revolutionary Anti-Communist Army of Colombia,’ is considered one of the most important drug-trafficking groups in Colombia’s eastern plains.

ENGLAND handing over the World Cup to Germany.
It’s about the most unpalatable situation you could imagine for anyone south of the border to contemplate.
But that’s exactly what they did last year. And the Germans have spent the past week discussing it happening all over again as the madness south of the border rises to new levels of silly.
The transfer window in England used to be a bit of laugh. Now it has descended into some sort of sick circus act.
In Germany right now national coach Joachim Low is under scrutiny ahead of the crucial Euro qualifiers against Poland and Scotland.
The world champions are not even top of the group past the midway point of qualifying and are feeling pressure, even though it’s hidden beneath their typically confident exterior.
Yet even amid that stress Low couldn’t help but point and laugh as he blasted England’s transfer madness .
More than £860million has been spent by English clubs in the summer, more than £500m of it going abroad.
Germany cashed in with Kevin de Bruyne fetching £55m from Manchester City to Wolfsburg, Tottenham paying Bayer Leverkusen £22m for Son Heung-min and Man Utd shelling out £15m to Bayern Munich for Bastian Schweinsteiger.
For Low it’s a godsend. For every pound overspent to a German club by a money-mad chairman in England the dosh gets reinvested into the DFB youth set-up and produces the next batch of world stars for him to pick, while England’s youngsters sit dumped in the reserves or loaned out to lower-league clubs because the imports have taken away their first-team chances.
Mainz sporting director Christian Heidel summed up the situation perfectly last night when he said: “In my opinion the market will collapse in two to three years.”
It’s not just the transfer fees either.
Heidel looks at the astronomical wages, such as Wayne Rooney’s £300,000 per week contract at Manchester United, and can’t figure it out.
He added: “The English clubs pay crazy salaries for average players who they can no longer get rid of outside of England.
“I suspect that soon there will be times money spent on redundancy payments for such transfers will be as much.”
The figures are trotted out like a badge of honour.
As the yellow Sky Sports ticker trots along the bottom dishing out details of another stupid transfer fee the presenters bang on about records broken.
Another amazing transfer window they yelp. And another amazing bonus for the likes of Germany.
They, and the rest of Europe, see it as another nail into the coffin of the England national team.
And another helping hand to someone else winning on the biggest stage.

Heroes are all around us. They may be famous for their deeds, or they could be our friends and neighbors. What sets heroes apart from the crowd is courage. It takes courage to save a life, help others, or fight for what you believe in. How have heroes made an impact on your life?
Athletes are often seen as heroes. They represent the best of the best in the world of sports. But even players in their prime can be hurt or injured. What makes an athlete truly heroic is his or her ability to recover and come back better than ever. Have any of your favorite sports legends ever made an incredible comeback?

The U.S. criminal justice system is designed to convict criminals, but sometimes innocent people are wrongfully accused and sentenced. Some are cases of mistaken identity. Some are due to poor police work. Many of these individuals live for years behind bars before being freed. Tragically, some have died before having their names cleared. What would you do if you were wrongly accused?
Finding the "right book" for struggling learners is essential to build both confidence and proficiency. Reading supports must be seamless, so that struggling readers are not stigmatized. The District 13 series does just that--written using carefully chosen vocabulary and simple sentences, the novels offer compelling teen stories about characters that interest young adult readers. Using sports as a backdrop, these edgy and mature titles confront issues that are of great importance to urban teens, especially teenaged boys: Coming of age, dating, fitting in, friendships, drugs, self-esteem, and school. Straightforward plots move readers through the 48-pages of text quickly and efficiently with satisfying resolutions. Synopsis: The pitching machine hurled the first pitch. It was just like at the cages. Carlos was comfortable. He lifted his left leg slightly. Then he turned his hips to the ball. He swung the bat. Crack!
Marta is an outsider at school. Partly because she chooses to be. With parents who were once farmworkers, she was used to moving a lot. It was hard to make friends. Though now the family is settled, trouble seems to follow her. To escape, she draws. Her art teacher thinks she has a gift. He signs her up for a program in another city. As she leaves behind the drama back home, she encounters other places, people, and events that are just as dramatic and even dangerous. Her drawings seem to be responsible. This series of books was designed specifically for struggling teen readers. The contemporary fiction is written at accessible levels and provides substantive content without being edgy. The relatable plots appeal to teens, especially those who are reluctant to read. Books in the series quickly grab their interest with fast-paced storylines that feature realistic, sometimes larger-than-life teen characters readers can identify with or would like to know. Then there is an unexpected twist. The characters' lives are suddenly on the edgeÑof fame, fear, or even sanity. What starts out as fun or routine becomes a nightmare, real or imagined. As characters are tested in mind, body, and spirit, readers have a sense of being there to experience the adventure.

My name is Kadie Daye, and I spent most of my life in a place called "The Region," and if you've never heard of that, I get it. After all, it's in Northwest Indiana. After graduating with my bachelor's degree in Broadcasting and Marketing in May 2021, I moved to Buffalo, NY and all I brought with me is a few tubs of clothes and a mattress. Oh! And my cassette player and turn table. I couldn't forget those. In college, I played soccer, but I found a new love of running, and I ended up joining the track and cross country teams. Now I run all the time, every day -- FOR FUN! :) Do you root for the Knicks in Buffalo? I'm a big basketball fan more so than football, so I'll agree to go to a few Bills games so long as you don't mind me cheering for the Chicago Bulls. When I'm not on the radio, you might find me listening to it, on a run trying not to get lost around town, or searching for my next vegetarian-friendly diner (I think they are often overlooked gems in a community). I heard winters are snowy here, which is lucky for me because I like to ski, sled, and ice skate.
