Emirates Stadium boss keen on Benfica forward.
Portuguese source A Bola believe that Arsenal are challenging Inter Milan in the race for highly regarded Benfica youngster Rodrigo Moreno.
The Brazilian born Spanish Under 21 international has had a good season at the Estaidio da Luz, scoring 15 goals in all competitions and sparking speculation of interest from a number of Europe’s ‘elite’ but any interest Arsene Wenger would have would surely have been reduced following his successful summer acquisitions.
With Olivier Giroud and Lukas Podolski arriving at the Emirates Stadium and Robin Van Persie still at the club there seems less of a need to bring in further attacking options. Clearly even if Arsenal were to lose their mercurial skipper the Benfica youngster would never be considered a replacement.
Rodrigo’s previous spell in England, on loan at Bolton, didn’t go all that well for the Rio born youngster, who managed just one goal from his 20 appearances for the Reebok Stadium side. It is fair to say though that the 21 year old has greatly improved and matured over the past 18 months.
The speedy Benfica attacker can also play in a wide role but similarly Arsenal have more than enough options on both flanks so again it’s hard to see where Rodrigo would fit in, unless of course Arsene Wenger was so convinced of the former Real Madrid youth team player’s potential that he would seek to sign the player even if there was no immediate need to improve his current squad.

• WV-Sen: Hahahahahahahahah! Oh, too, too priceless! Uber-rich businessman John Raese received a ton of crap last year (deservedly so) for actually being a resident of Florida while running for Senate in West Virginia. (Here's a sample DSCC ad.) So how did he launch his bid for a rematch against Dem Sen. Joe Manchin, the guy who thoroughly beat him last year?
"It just seemed like a good day," he told reporters. "The weather was clear, the clouds parted and I just came in."
According to the FlightAware online flight tracking service, Raese flew to Charleston from Palm Beach International Airport in his Cessna Citation jet, arriving at Yeager Airport at 3:34 p.m.
Oh man! Just perfect! But wait, it gets even better:
However, the jet is hangared, not in the University City, but at Cumberland (Md.) Regional Airport, about 70 miles east of Morgantown.
Why? Unlike West Virginia, Maryland does not collect aircraft registration fees or charge personal property taxes on aircraft. Purchases of aircraft are also exempt from Maryland sales taxes, if the company that owns the plane is engaged in interstate commerce.
For a Citation CJ2, domiciling the jet in Maryland saves about $240,000 in sales taxes, and about $52,000 a year in personal property taxes.
Even Raese's plane isn't a resident of West Virginia! And all to deprive the state he supposedly cares so much about some badly-needed tax revenue. The attack ads have already been produced, but in case Democrats need to freshen them up, well, the new ones just write themselves.
• FL-13: Keith Fitzgerald (D): $223K raised
• MO-Gov: Gov. Jay Nixon (D): $1.3 mil raised, $5 mil cash-on-hand
• NV-Sen: Rep. Shelley Berkley (D): $1.1 mil raised, $3.75 mil cash-on-hand
• NE-Sen: Okay, I'll give Bob Kerrey credit for a pretty funny response to Karl Rove's radio ad attacking the former Dem senator for living in New York City for the past decade. From Cameron Joseph in The Hill:
Kerrey has sent a letter back to Rove that was obtained by The Hill pointing out that he owns restaurants and a chain of gyms in the state.
"I heard your very funny radio ad and would like to invite you to come to Nebraska and have a burger with my family at one of my restaurants. Or better: Let's work out at one of my health clubs," Kerrey wrote to Rove. "I am certain you'll be glad you did."
Kinda sounds like Kerrey is actually giving serious consideration to this thing, huh?
• PA-Sen: Republican Tom Smith, who has kicked $5 million of his own money into his campaign kitty, is up with his second TV ad. No word on the size of the buy, but it'll supposedly air statewide on cable. While the spot's message obviously doesn't resonate with me (it's about cutting government spending), I actually think the production values are pretty decent, and the campaign rally bit at the end feels reasonably authentic. So I'm starting to wonder if Smith, by virtue of his money and perhaps a little bit of skill, might wind up as the GOP nominee despite being a political newcomer.
• WI-Sen: Well, it sure looks like Tammy Baldwin has the Democratic nomination locked up: Former Rep. Steve Kagen, who was probably the last remaining potential candidate of any notability, just endorsed her. All in all, some pretty nice work by Baldwin in terms of securing this opportunity for herself. Now she can let the GOP field tear itself apart while she focuses on winning in November.
• AL-05: This is so hilarious and so absurd that I can hardly believe it. Everyone, of course, remembers ex-Rep. Parker Griffith, the turncoat chump first elected in 2008 who then switched parties from D to R in Dec. of 2009, thinking it would save his sorry ass at election time. Well, his ass was sorry indeed, because he immediately got teabagged to death in the Republican primary, losing 51-33 to Madison County Commissioner Mo Brooks. (Surprise! Alabama Republicans aren't interested in lifelong Democrats who donated money to Howard Dean and Harry Reid.) After that humiliating defeat, you had to figure Griffith was gone for good. I certainly did.
But no! He's back! And he says he's going to run against Brooks again… yes, in the GOP primary! (Snapped Brooks: "The immediate thought that came to my mind when I heard Parker Griffith was running, was, which party?") Once again, Griffith is demonstrating his remarkable stupidity, because he has only two months until the election, and what's more, he has almost no chance of defeating the incumbent. So I, for one, will be glad to see him get spanked one more time. What a moran.
• AZ-04: So what's the deal with Paul Gosar, anyway? The freshman Republican, who just announced he was switching districts from the 1st to the 4th, saw a whole bunch of staff-related turmoil that Dave Catanese wrote about over the summer, centered around a pair of top staffers who had no prior congressional experience and were tight with none other than Sarah Palin. Now Arizona's Yellow Sheet reports that Gosar's general consultant, who managed his 2010 campaign, is leaving, apparently in response to the drama caused by these poor hiring choices. Gosar also supposedly had a weak fundraising quarter, which supports my belief that he could very well lose the GOP primary this year.
• AZ-09: I try never to shy away from taking a critical look at fellow Democrats, even when such an examination might reveal unpleasant things, so in that spirit of due diligence, I think this piece by Stephen Lemons in the Phoenix New Times on ex-state Sen. Kyrsten Sinema is worth a read. Lemons discusses recent attempts by Sinema, who has a very liberal profile, to moderate her image, such as refusing to back the recall of Republican state Sen. Russell Pearce, author of Arizona's notorious immigration law SB 1070, whom she called her "boss." At the same time, her résumé also includes things like supporting Ralph Nader in 2000. Lemons thinks Sinema is unlikely to win over middle-of-the-road voters with these shifts, but that she does risk alienating her current base of supporters as she pursued her bid for Congress.
Meanwhile, Sinema, the only declared Democratic candidate so far, just received the endorsement of former one-term Rep. Sam Coppersmith. Coppersmith won a major upset in AZ-01 in 1992, but gave his seat up after a single term to run for Senate when Democrat Dennis DeConcini retired. 1994 obviously wasn't an auspicious year for Democrats to seek higher office, and he lost to Jon Kyl (who is now mercifully retiring this year).
• CA-31, CA-08: San Bernardino County District Attorney Michael Ramos, who had expressed interest in running in the 31st District if Rep. Jerry Lewis retired, now says he won't run in spite of Lewis's decision not to seek another term. Presumably Ramos doesn't want to have to deal with a Republican primary battle against Rep. Gary Miller, who immediately said he'd run here after Lewis made his announcement. But Miller may still have some competition for his party's nomination, since it sounds like state Sen. Bob Dutton is still looking at the race. Dutton said he's "seriously headed in that direction" and will "make a decision fairly quickly."
Meanwhile, two Republicans who had been closely eyeing the race in the red 8th District (where Lewis might also have sought re-election) both jumped in on Thursday: San Bernardino County Supervisor Brad Mitzelfelt and Assemblyman Paul Cook.
• NJ-12: Venture capitalist Scott Sipprelle, who held Dem Rep. Rush Holt to his narrowest re-election margin in 2010 since his 651-vote escape a decade earlier, says he won't seek a rematch. No surprise: Holt's seat was made considerably bluer in redistricting, and if Sipprelle couldn't win 2010 under more favorable lines, it's quite hard to see him winning in 2012 under a tougher map. Holt will get a Republican challenger, though: Eric Beck, a businessman and former state director of the Concord Coalition, says he'll run.
• OR-01: Democrat Suzanne Bonamici has a new ad for the special election to replace ex-Rep. David Wu, which you can view at the link. (I'm pretty lukewarm about it.) It's also worth noting that ballots in this all-mail election were sent out to voters on Friday, and they must be returned by Jan. 31. Postmarks are insufficient—ballots actually have to be received by county officials no later than 8pm on election day.
• PA-12: Mark Critz just received the support of the United Mine Workers in his Democratic primary battle against fellow incumbent Jason Altmire, the first union endorsement in the race, though I wonder how many miners are still left in this district.
• PA-18: I'd rather see them spend this money against Fred Upton in Michigan, but any time the Club for Growth wants to blow their scrilla attacking a Republican incumbent, I'll take it. The latest is a $61K buy on two 15-second spots hitting Rep. Tim Murphy, whom they'd targeted with some previous ads as well. The claim is the same as ever: He's a "liberal" who supported all kinds of ungodly liberal liberalism. I find the ads themselves amusing—you can click through and watch `em at the link.
• WI Recall: A challenger has emerged for Republican state Sen. Pam Galloway in the 29th District, should a recall go forward: Marathon County Democratic Party Chairman Jeff Johnson, who took a leave as party chair in order to declare his candidacy. Johnson is also a former AFSCME member.
In related news, organizers of the drive to recall state Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald say they have enough signatures to force a recall. Given that this is the fifth-reddest senate seat in all of Wisconsin, though, I'm not really sure I understand the motivation behind this push (though conceivably Fitzgerald could be beaten by another Republican in a recall primary).
• DCCC: Apparently, the D-Trip recently told a whole bunch of Democratic hopefuls that, as part of being considered for the DCCC's "Red to Blue" list, they need to raise 100 donations on ActBlue by today. I haven't seen this reported anywhere, but a lot of campaigns are mentioning it (or alluding to it) on their ActBlue pages. Ami Bera, running in CA-07, offers the most explicit confirmation, saying: "The DCCC has challenged us to reach a goal of 100 donors by Monday." Several other candidates have also made reference to this challenge, including Christie Vilsack (IA-04), Brendan Mullen (IN-02), Annie Kuster (NH-02), and Nick Lampson (TX-14). (Hat-tip to trowaman, who told me about this story and is helping Lampson with his efforts.)
• Polltopia (PDF): On Friday, Democracy Corps came out with one of their frequent "state of play" memos, and, as we've been seeing all year, we're looking at a 2012 election that's a scrum at the 50-yard line, not a wave one way or the other. What's probably most noteworthy here, though, is that the Democrats have pulled ahead on the "named" House ballot (where the actual name of the incumbent in the interviewee's district is included in the question, though the Democrat is still asked generically) for the first time since early 2010, 47-44. That includes a 44-42 lead among independents.
At the presidential level, 44% approval for Barack Obama is good for a 47-46 lead over Mitt Romney. Down in the weeds, but maybe most noteworthy—and consistent with an apparently improving economic picture—is that the Democrats have also drawn even with the GOP on the question of who would do a better job with the economy (at 42-42). That's after three straight years of a big Republican advantage there (it was 48-36 for the GOP at the time of the 2010 election). (David Jarman)
• Voter Suppression: Some rare good news on the voter suppression front: A new voter ID bill was pulled from the legislative docket in Nebraska and won't (at least for now) come up for a vote. Of course, it could rise again, zombie-like, at some point in the future, but for the moment, I'll take it.
• CT Redistricting: Nathan Persily, the special master drawing Connecticut's new congressional map, just released a draft proposal, and it looks like the changes are very minimal—exactly what Democrats, who currently control the state's delegation 5-0, were hoping for. Click the link for more detail (including the master's report). The map is below:a federal investigation for corruption.)
Persily also hammered the Republican proposal:
The Republican Proposal shifts more population, land, and towns than is reasonably necessary to comply with one person, one vote. It moves 185,726 people (or 5.2% of the state’s population) out of their current district. The plan makes changes to fourteen towns, seven of which would be moved into entirely new districts. Neither the one person, one vote rule, nor the Voting Rights Act requires that such changes be made.
• MI Redistricting: What a bunch of stupids. Michigan, you may be surprised to learn, is required to seek preclearance from the Department of Justice for its statewide redistricting plans because two townships (Clyde and Buena Vista) are covered jurisdictions under Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act. Well, like a lot of states with Republicans at the helm, they got all paranoid and decided to seek preclearance through the courts rather than via the DoJ. So what happened? The DoJ still went ahead and signed off on the maps, but because Michigan chose to litigate, Justice's decision has no legal effect and the plans are still without preclearance because the courts haven't ruled yet.
A while back, redistricting expert Gary Hebert (who happened to be my election law prof in law school) predicted exactly this sort of problem with regard to another state that went this route:
Louisiana has foolishly sought preclearance simultaneously in the DC court and at DOJ. I say foolishly because Louisiana says it wants "expedited review." But filing in the DC court can only slow the process down. First, any proceeding in the DC court is an adversarial one and will likely take more time to resolve than simply proceeding administratively before DOJ.
Second, the legal standard is the same in both the DC court and before DOJ, so what's there to gain? Perhaps the State thinks that by going to the DC court, it can avoid the Obama Justice Department. It can't. DOJ is the statutory defendant in such a DC preclearance case and its views and review of the Louisiana plan will get a full airing.
Third, filing in the DC court could see groups opposed to the redistricting plans intervene in the suit and delay the process even further. DOJ rightfully has told the DC court that it will review the maps and data, but it needs time to do so. If other states follow Louisiana's lead and file simultaneously in the DC court and before DOJ, they invite delay, not expedited consideration. That's something else to watch in the aftermath of Louisiana's dual submissions.
• MO Redistricting: It looks like the Russ Carnahan-backed suit against Missouri's new congressional map might have gotten a little traction with the state's supreme court justices, but not in the way Rusty would have hoped. At oral arguments on Thursday, the judges didn't seem to care much about line-drawing in the St. Louis region, where Carnahan saw his district get dismantled, but they were intrigued by the odd little "teardrop" carved into the western chunk of Democrat Emanuel Cleaver's 5th CD outside of Kansas City (see it here).
Missouri's state constitution has a requirement that districts be drawn as "compact" as possible, and this small carve-out seemed to catch the bench's attention. But even if the court rules that some changes need to be made to clean up the 5th, it's unlikely that any kind of ripple effect will be enough to save Carnahan, all the way on the other side of the state.
• VA Redistricting: If you blink, I think you might miss it. Virginia's long-delayed congressional remapping process is kicking back into high gear, now that Republicans have taken back control of the state Senate, giving the GOP control of the proverbial redistricting trifecta. The House passed an incumbent-protection plan last year to lock in the state's 8-3 Republican delegation, but it died in what was then the Dem-held Senate.
Now a revived version of that bill (which you can view here, including the map) is once again quickly sailing through the House and should soon land in the upper chamber, where it will almost assuredly pass easily, and then get signed by Republican Gov. Bob McDonnell. Had Democrats hung on to the Senate, we might have wound up with a much better court-drawn map, which made that loss the most painful of Nov. 2011.

BWW Reviews: NIGHT OF THE IGUANA Heats Up EPAC Stage
There are those who suggest that Tennessee Williams' THE NIGHT OF THE IGUANA is a tale told, though not by an idiot, about the moribund, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. As directed by Edward R. Fernandez at Ephrata Performing Arts Center, however, it accomplishes the goal of most great plays – it depicts transformation, even though it's hopelessly ephemeral. No one's life is vastly changed. No one has made any great decisions, but the leading character, even while taking his path of least resistance, recognizes, however briefly, that his life could be different. And while NEXT TO NORMAL may be the first musical to address mental illness head-on, it's worth remembering that in stage drama, Tennessee Williams is America's poet laureate of psychological disturbance; IGUANA is, in its essence and at its best, a searing depiction of a man's mental trip through a hell that he unintentionally has managed to construct.
If there is indeed a dark night of the soul, there is none better to endure it than a man of the cloth. The Reverend T. Lawrence Shannon, "Shannon" to almost all, is played by Tim Riggs with an air of impending disaster clinging to him as closely as the five o'clock shadow that he refuses to let the hotel owner, Maxine, shave off of him. Riggs' Shannon is not a man on The Edge of insanity; he's already taken the leap off the diving board and for the bulk of the play is suspended in a triple somersault waiting to hit the deep waters. Riggs' nervous edginess is palpable and intensely human. I could only wish that his Southern accent (which isn't a Virginia one, though Shannon's a "Virginia gentleman") were slightly less emphatic and a bit more gently southeastern and less distracting.
Tricia Corcoran as hotel proprietor and very merry widow Maxine, and Kristie Ohlinger as artist Hannah Jelkes, are Shannon's cross-currents on the veranda at Maxine's shabby Mexican beach hotel. And a shabby hotel it is – the set in EPAC's staging is a character in its own right, the perfect manifestation of every run-down Caribbean hotel ever imagined, its veranda begging for standing torches, large allegedly tropical alcoholic beverages, and raucous dancing to heavy percussion. Instead, however, it is in Williams' world the stage upon which Shannon engages in a bewildered paso doble with both the blowsy Maxine and the staid Hannah, and Richard Wolf Spencer deserves serious kudos for creating its derelict charm.
Maxine claims to know Shannon better than Hannah does when she flies into a jealous fit in Act Two. Yet each of them knows Shannon better than the other does, in totally different ways. Maxine knows how to handle Shannon when he breaks down; Hannah knows Shannon's breaking down from the inside, having been there herself. Both Maxine and Hannah are strong stage characters, although Hannah is the stronger individual within. Corcoran's Maxine is a huge presence on stage; she feels twice her actual size, coming on and off stage like the force of nature that she is. Maxine is an earth goddess, offering herself with abandon to all, while Ohlinger's Hannah is not so much "spinsterish" (as the character is often described) as iron-willed and determined; she is the ascetic intellectual, the Athena to Corcoran's abundant Persephone, and I find she brings a certain Hepburn-like austerity and economy to her performance.
It is no wonder that Shannon is torn between the two women – one offers every simple earthy pleasure he desires and usually acts upon without thinking; the other speaks to the man who obtained a ministerial degree from a respected university. One is a gift, the other a challenge. Shannon is two men warring within himself within his breakdown, and Maxine and Hannah are the avatars each of those men responds to.
Such a drama requires a poet to sing of it, and that poet comes in the form of "Nonno," Hannah's grandfather, with whom she travels while he struggles to finish his last poem. One of the flaws in Williams' writing is that Nonno's fate within the play is obvious early on, but John Kleimo's Nonno makes his way through the show with a leonine countenance that makes him completely believable as an elderly man of letters and self-perceived great man. The audience wants to believe him, too; Kleimo can make the audience wince along with Hannah when Nonno becomes disoriented and slips out of his role as Great Poet, and rejoice with her, even aware (as Hannah seems not to be) of what will happen when he completes his last work.
Miss Fellowes, the fiery Baptist college teacher and chaperone of the very young Charlotte Goodall, is played by Elizabeth Pattey. Pattey is no Grayson Hall (who played the part with amazing fierceness and grandeur in John Huston's imperfect film version), but she brings an amazing drill-sergeant quality to her performance that suggests a woman who has never not gotten her own way. It is likely true that she and Shannon cannot tolerate each other because they are too much alike. Although it's common to make Judith Fellowes perhaps too obviously a "butch dyke" when playing her, which would never be tolerated by a Baptist women's college in the 1940's, I do think that Pattey's Fellowes is perhaps a bit too subtle – Shannon's accusation of her lesbianism may come a little too much out of the blue here, as her relationship to Charlotte lacks the clearly repressed jealousy needed to hint at that. Hannah Smith's Charlotte, the alleged victim of Shannon's statutory rape, is a fine portrayal of a girl who doesn't understand that the word "seduced" is usually followed by "abandoned".
IGUANA is probably notable as the only play in which the bombing of Britain can be comic relief, but the quartet of Nazi German tourists at the hotel provide the only real lightness in the show. Although there is humor in the dialogue between the main characters, the unrelenting grimness of their situation prevents it from being the sort of tension breaker that the German beach frolickers provide. Fernandez does not make The Common mistake of deleting them from the play – not only are they the comic relief element, but they add the historical perspective that the play requires.
THE NIGHT OF THE IGUANA plays through September 22 at Ephrata Performing Arts Center, 320 Cocalico Street, Ephrata. For tickets call 717-733-7966 or visit www.SharadinBiglerTheatre.com.

Check out this video for actors on movement and dance during the Edwardian period. It's British, rather than French, but it should be helpful in suggesting mannerisms and movement style for La Belle Epoque.
Paradise Hotel is a translation into English of the French farce L'Hotel du Libre Echange by Georges Feydeau. The story centers around a middle-aged man, Benoit Pinglet, who after 20 years of marriage, arranges a rendez-vous with the beautiful young wife of his business partner and best friend, Henri Paillardin. Alas, sexual infidelity is a tough secret to keep, as Pinglet finds out at the Paradise Hotel in this hysterical, door-slamming, narrowly-escaping-getting-caught comedy of errors.

A funny thing about life, that you don’t really ever consider the miracle of your birth until you’ve truly reckoned with the reality of your impending death. Standing here, two feet planted firmly on the path to the cemetery (let the reader understand), this is the first time I ever laid my eyes upon the moment of conception (again, let the ready understand). When confronted with metaphor of this proportion there is no need of a horizon line, that usual separator of the known and unknown is no longer relevant when faced with this stark reality. There is nothing really to do now but just stand here and look back at your life and face the rushing wind as it hollows out the spaces in your soul that turned to stone while you were busy dreaming of the points in between the Grave and the Cradle.


“The internet is global and has data as its underlying basic element. For a robust internet innovation ecosystem, there has to be (a) flow of data. However, we also recognise that in our national interest, there are requirements of protecting a digital nagrik’s data protection and privacy rights,” Chandrasekhar said.
Cross-border flow of data will, therefore, be permitted as long as the government is able to access the data legally and such data of citizens is safe even if it is stored in cloud architecture, he added.
ET had reported last week that the revamped PDP Bill is in the final stages of being finalised and may be released for public consultation by October end or the first week of November.
The data protection bill will also go through extensive consultations with academia, subject, and legal experts before it is presented to the Parliament for passage, Chandrasekhar said, adding that “it is not something that we are going to rush through in a hurry” and there is “no artificial timeline” but will be done “soon”.
The ministry of electronics and IT is also likely to publish the final draft of the updated Information Technology Rules (IT) of 2021 this week. A major update of the Rules will be the government setting up the grievance appellate committees (GACs) to address concerns of users against social media platforms. The GAC will be “three-member” panels and may be in tens or hundreds if such a need arises, said Chandrasekhar.

Intellia Therapeutics had ended on a positive note by revealing positive results from two gene editing experiments. Both are in their early stages, but the business is already preparing to enter what it thinks would be a pivotal study with the transthyretin (ATTR) amyloidosis drug, NTLA-2001.
Earlier this year, NTLA-2001, which Regeneron licensed, showed it could considerably lower a recognized disease biomarker for a protracted period in ATTR amyloidosis patients with polyneuropathy. Data from the study’s other arm, which included ATTR patients with cardiomyopathy, have now revealed a comparable decrease.
28 days following the single intravenous treatment, initial findings indicated reductions in the biomarker transthyretin, or TTR, of 93% and 92% at doses of 0.7 mg/kg and 1.0 mg/kg, respectively.
Lipid nanoparticles are used by NTLA-2001 to deliver a genome editing system in to the liver. The two components to this genome system are:
• The first component is a guide RNA that is unique to the disease-causing gene
• The second component is a messenger RNA that encodes the Cas9 protein and does precise editing. This technology was made popular by COVID-19 vaccinations.
The latest report by Intellia provides more support for the idea that NTLA-2001 might be used as a single-use therapy to permanently inactivate the TTR gene and lower the disease-causing protein in ATTR patients with cardiomyopathy. The businesses have decided to test the 0.7 mg/kg dose in both research arms, with enrolment expected to be finished by year-end. The company’s main aim is to eradicate all existing and potential attacks.
Intellia CEO John Leonard, M.D. stated “These results strongly indicate that NTLA-2001 might be used as a single-dose treatment regardless of illness manifestation, along with the previously announced data from the polyneuropathy arm of this groundbreaking study, as we get closer to a potential pivotal trial, it is anticipated that the Phase 1 research will involve patients in the U.S.”
People with TTR gene abnormalities at birth are more likely to develop ATTR amyloidosis, a deadly illness in which the liver produces aberrant, frequently misfolded TTR proteins. TTR proteins assist the transport of thyroid hormone and vitamin A in the blood when they are in a healthy state. However, the harmed proteins lead to a wide range of issues in the heart, nervous system, and other organs.
According to Leonard, TTR serum decrease is a recognized illness biomarker that denotes a benefit. After receiving NTLA-2001 treatment, the actual advantages, such as a reduction in disease symptoms, won’t manifest immediately.
In 2020, Regeneron acquired the licensing rights to commercialize NTLA-2001 for $100 million. Another CRISPR candidate from Intellia is NTLA-2002, which is studied for hereditary angioedema in phase 1.
The clinical trial findings indicated that NTLA-2002 decreased levels of a protein linked to the condition by an average of 65% and 92% among six patients given a low (25mg) or high dose (75 mg) respectively. The number of inflammatory attacks suffered by the three patients on the lower dose decreased by 91% during the course of the four-month follow-up period.

Before starting the processing of the part, the part is clamped into the machine as shown in the figure below.
This operation is usually performed following the cutting of the part workpiece from the raw material board. In this case it is not very important for the clamping of the workpiece at which corner it is clamped into the machine. It is crucial not to mix the longitudinal or transversal position of the workpiece in the machine. Depending on the operational procedure established within the company, the parts for which the Edge banding operations have already been performed can end up in the CNC centre. In this case it is important which corner of the part is clamped during the clamping operation. Therefore, it is important to take into account the following factors:
|1.||What state the workpiece is in when it reaches the machine into which this workpiece will be clamped.|
|2.||Which corner of the workpiece is clamped in the corner with respect to the part shape.|
For a better understanding of the explanation below, it is necessary to discuss the basic coordinate system of the part or of the part workpiece. With respect to this system, the clamping coordinate systems are determined and clamping corners are defined.
When assigning Woodwork for Inventor materials to the part model, algorithms are used to analyze the model shape and they interpret the top and bottom faces of the model, the right and left sides, etc. In other words, a basic coordinate system of the Woodwork for Inventor part is created. One should not confuse this system with the model coordinate system which can coincide or differ from the above-mentioned coordinate system. This is called automatic determination of the basic coordinate system of the Woodwork for Inventor part.
The user will see that this coordinate system has been determined immediately following the assignment of the Woodwork for Inventor material, after the use runs the Grain command in the Woodwork Design branch. The user will then see (see fig. below) the coordinate system icon the direction of which corresponds to the grain direction, and the icon itself is placed in the Top plane. The user can change the basic (Top) plane of the part and the direction of the coordinate system by setting a Reference plane and changing the grain direction.
Note. If, during clamping, the same part and not the workpiece is used, the change of the grain direction will only change the calculation of the workpiece direction. In this case the grain direction will have no impact on the direction calculation (click here for more information).
Thus, after changing the grain, the orientation of the basic coordinate system of the workpiece and of the part may differ. Depending on the type of object – a workpiece or a part which has already been processed – clamped into the machine, the sides of the part will be determined with respect to these coordinate systems. The figure below shows what is considered to be the top, the front, the back, the right and the left side of the part with respect to this coordinate system. With respect to this system, base points are numbered where part clamping can be requested.
It is important to know that after changing the grain direction or the Reference plane, it is interpreted that the CAM technology that has been created does not meet the basic coordinate system of the part. The technology with such clamping is marked with a lightning symbol in the browser and is ignored when outputting it to the CNC program. A possible solution to this situation is deleting and creating this clamping and again generating the processing operations within it.
The following status of the workpiece can be distinguished in the Woodwork for Inventor system:
A part may be clamped using any of the four corners. Taking into account that the part can be flipped, we have four more corners that can be clamped in the clamping device. Thus, we have 8 potential base points.
The figure below shows these potential clamping corners. When clamping the workpiece for CNC processing, the corners are numbered according to the orientation of the workpiece coordinate system. When clamping the part, the system calculates the coordinate system and the points are arranged according to it. These corner numbers are used in Woodwork for Inventor internal mechanisms, but may also be transferred to Woodwork for Inventor BOM reports. It is also possible to inform the user which corner of the part is the base point in CNC processing. The image below shows the clamping of a workpiece.
Some woodworking machines have an arrangement which, while performing the processing of a workpiece in one side, allows clamping a workpiece of another part in the other side. As shown in the figure below, in this case the clamping corner will change and at the same time the type of the coordinate system will change from the right-handed to the left-handed. This, in turn, means that the coordinates in the CNC program will be recalculated.
The decision as which side of the machine the workpiece should be clamped to is usually made by the machine operator because the technologist-programmer does not know at which moment in a production flow a particular part will arrive at the machine and which side of the machine will be unoccupied. Therefore, the machine software usually provides for a simple procedure which converts the data in the coordinate system of the given program from right to left and vice versa. In this way the operator can easily use the same CNC program and work at any chosen side of the machine.
However, there exists machines that use a left-handed coordinate system as the base coordinate system, thus the Woodwork for Inventor CAM module has an option allowing the user to specify which corner of the machine the part will be clamped to and which coordinate system will be used.
There are four available options:
By default, the Woodwork for Inventor CAM module interprets that the part is clamped at the Front Left corner. One should bear in mind that the front, the back, the right and the left side are specified with respect to the part coordinate system.
The CAM processing of the part may have one, two or more clampings. When creating CAM technological operations, only one clamping can be active.

You can't just put the SQLite database in the iCloud container, because it might get corrupted. (As you modify an SQLite DB, temporary files are created and renamed, so if the sync process starts copying those files, you'll get a corrupt database.)
If you don't want to move to Core Data, you can do what Core Data does: store your database in your document folder, and store a transaction log in the iCould container. Every time you change the database, you add those changes to a log file, so you can play them back and make equivalent changes on other devices.
This gets pretty complicated: aside from getting the log/reply logic right, you'll want to coalesce redundant changes and periodically collapse the log into a complete copy of the database.
You might have an easier time developing a solution if you can exploit knowledge of your application (Core Data has to solve the problem in the general case). For example, you could save invoices as separate files in the cloud container (text, Property List, XML, JSON, whatever), writing them out as the database changes and only importing ones if the system tells you they were created or changed.
In summary, your choice is either to migrate to Core Data or write a sync solution yourself. Which one is best depends on the particulars of your application.

Taiwanese authorities said Friday that the fire that destroyed a 13-story apartment block and killed 46 residents was caused by an incense-igniting female resident.
On October 15, the city’s southernmost suburb of Kaohsiung was devastated by a fire. It took several hours for firefighters to control the flames in an apartment block. It proved to be one of Taiwan’s deadliest fires in decades.
Huang is the family name of the female tenant. She was arrested for negligent homicide, and she has been released by the city. “apparently at fault.”
“She failed to make sure that the incense was completely extinguished before leaving the building to let the incense keep on burning, which then led to the fire,”City officials provided a detailed report on the blaze.
Huang has not been officially charged by the authorities yet. However, they continue to question Huang about this matter. According to prosecutors, she has offered inconsistent statements on the incident, first claiming she threw the incense into the rubbish and later saying she couldn’t remember what happened.

Taiwan, which is overconfident and impulsive with China, is ratcheting up tensions. How long will Beijing’s patience last?
This apartment block had been partially neglected and was mostly occupied by elderly persons of low income. Due to the debris and trash left behind, the fire quickly spread.

Liberals speak of Conservatives as existing inside a perceptual “Bubble”, meaning those inside that metaphorical bubble only associate with conservatives, and therefore are only ever exposed to conservative political ideas—which are then, inevitably reinforced and perpetuated as truth.
Mainstream comic book publishers— at least and in particular DC Comics— appear to reside in a similar bubble, where they are out of touch with the real world beyond their publishing offices.
For the last 30 years, in those offices, (judging by the books) a sort of temporal anomaly has formed, creating an atmosphere or impression of being eternally America somewhere between 1985 and 1995— with the simplistic storytelling and misogynistic attitudes inherent in that era.
Largely, they are still trying to produce comics as if it were still 1990, using outdated models.
In the millennial age, comic books are suffering from an extreme case of McComics—the McDonaldsification of comic books, in which material is standardized and simplified, rather than customized and personalized. And as with public education and any mass media, results are the same: mediocre crap.
The fundamental flaw that exists in the comic industry, especially within DC Comics… is they cater too much to readers who grew up (or maybe didn’t literally grow up) with their characters from the old days, instead of attempting to attract and appeal to new and younger readers who are growing up right now… instead of offering newer and contemporarily relevant characters.
They repeatedly continue to recycle and reboot the same characters for 50 years, instead of creating new ones, for a new age. I’m referring primarily to superhero comics; what most of us usually think of when talking of comic books.
We get a repetitive rehash of Superman, Batman and Spiderman… as if no new characters could possibly be devised.
These days, stories and "big events” are innately designed for and targeted to those who got into comics in the 1980s or 1990s-- not the younger readers that might become new life-long comic book fans today. Comic books themselves are also currently stuck in a kind of bubble, stagnating in the residue of yester-year nostalgia and continuity. A constant desire to chase or replicate past glories is inherently and inevitably aimed at those old(er) readers, not bringing in new fans.
Therefore, logically and regardless of intentions or declarations otherwise, comics publishers are generally going to attract the stereotypical comic book reader of the ‘80s.
Because comic book content is often and predominately aimed at the immature male demographic and ridiculous niche stereotype; under-sexed 30 year-old men still living in their parents’ basement who get off on naked female superheroes and characters getting shot up, cut up and blown up. Despite an erroneously persistent common conception of comic book readers, most of them are actually not children. Increasingly over the last 30 years, many of them are adults— as those who started reading comics as kids continued the hobby into adulthood. Compounding the sorrowful dilemma of children reading less books, comics are not really so inviting or interesting to most children anymore. Comics are not just for kids anymore. In many cases, alas, they are not even for kids at all. Frequently, nor are they designed for females.
Further alienating new/ younger readers is the unfortunate trend (in comics and cable TV) of narrative debauchery and debasement, with stories and subject matter written for (clearly depraved) adults, and inappropriate for anyone under age 18.
What rational and responsible parent would approve or encourage their kids, even teenagers, to read such gratuitously violent, over-sexed and demeaning material?

Union: Inmates throw urine on officers at Gouverneur Correctional Facility
GOUVERNEUR, New York (WWNY) - Three officers at Gouverneur Correctional Facility were treated for exposure last week when inmates threw urine on them, striking them in the face in two separate incidents.
That’s according to the New York State Correctional Officers & Police Benevolent Association, the union representing COs.
The first incident happened on May 25 when two officers were making routine rounds in a cell block.
When the officers approached a cell, an inmate threw urine at the officers from a milk carton, striking both officers in the face and chest. The officers were treated at the facility infirmary and transported to Gouverneur Hospital for further treatment.
Both officers did not return to duty after the incident.
The 26-year-old inmate is serving a three-year sentence after being convicted in Kings County in 2022 for second-degree criminal possession of a weapon.
The second incident occurred on May 31 when an officer conducting security rounds approached the recreation pen.
An inmate inside the pen took a bowl that contained an unknown liquid and threw it at the officer, striking him in the face and chest. The liquid smelled of urine.
The officer was initially treated at the infirmary. He was transported to Gouverneur Hospital for treatment of exposure to bodily fluids.
The officer returned to duty after being released from the hospital.
The 28-year-old inmate is serving a five-year sentence after being convicted in Dutchess County in 2022 for third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance and first-degree promoting prison contraband. It is his third stint in state prison since 2012.
“Throwing urine or feces on staff is one of the most vile things an inmate can do to an officer. In the majority of the incidents, officers have no way of defending themselves and often, the exposure occurs to the face or upper body. The act in itself is a felony under New York State Penal Law and justifiably so. The two inmates involved in these two throwing incidents are currently serving relatively short sentences. Both men should be prosecuted for their actions and held accountable. Hopefully that will send a message that there will be ramifications for such despicable actions,” said Bryan Hluska, the union’s central region vice president.

Tahiti, who won gold at the 2011 Games, led throughout the match.In the first quarter, Tahiti easily scored to lead 21-12 against the weak defense by the home girls.Tahiti maintained their lead in the second quarter, 35-25.Aggressive play from PNG’s Betty Angula and Louisa Wallace didn’t scare the Tahitians as they fought hard to lead the third quarter 42-38.The final quarter was a close encounter as PNG bounced back to level the score at eight minutes to full time.But Tahiti managed to get back in the lead in the dying minutes to claim victory. Fiji will play American Samoa in the gold play off this evening.
United Kingdom was one of the first powers to enter the World War I. He did not hesitate to be a main part of the allied side and send his citizens to face the Central Powers since the outbreak of the conflict in the summer of 1914.As it could not be otherwise, the European context led to the obligation to suspend all sporting events in the nations involved. All sport was suspended (JJ OO, Wimbledon, Tour de France …), but British football took longer than it should with the aim of keeping the spirits of the population high. Although the following four editions did not begin, the 1914-15 season was played out complete with the championship for the Everton and the decline of Tottenham (the FA Cup raised by Sheffield United). Footballers were not obliged to go to war, although due to physical conditions and age they were ideal to be called up. The decision to be sent to fight or not was made by the clubs. Public opinion was very critical of these privileged. One of the soldiers who were serving in France published an article in an English newspaper denouncing the situation and it was suggested to the king Jorge V to withdraw support for the Federation. Arthur Conan Doyle, who went down in history for being the creator of the character of Sherlock Holmes and in whose youth he dedicated himself to defending the goal of the team of Portsmouth, was in the same line of thought and left a reflection that turned a red face to all those who avoided fighting for their country with the excuse of sport: “There was already time to play soccer, business and everyday life. Now only it’s war time. If a footballer has leg strength to play soccer, let him run on the battlefield. “ Many of them had no choice but to accept the call of their army and some even ended up being decorated. The XVII and XXIII Infantry Battalion of the Middlesex Regiment were the so-called Football Battalion. Groups of soldiers formed, mainly, by soccer players. Players could return on Saturday to play their league game, but the Army was unwilling to bear the travel expenses and these were paid by the clubs themselves. Referees and managers also joined. The second mentioned battalion, number 23, was led on the Italian front by the first black officer, Walter Tull, midfielder of Northampton until 1914, who ended up dying on the northern front of France.Soccer had its leading role even on the battlefield itself. More than known is the story of the German and British soldiers in the 1914 Christmas Truce, when they stopped the battle to sing Christmas carols together, share a table, cigarettes and play a soccer pachanga (it lasted until this behavior reached the leaders of each side). The UEFA He has recognized this fact with tributes in the area where the game was played. There is even a curious story of how the British officer Wilfred Neville He decided to kick soccer balls (he had written phrases such as “without referees” on some) to indicate the start of the attack on his soldiers.The British federations came to abandon the FIFA for a few years after the world body recognized the countries on the side of the Central Powers. It was a very turbulent time for FIFA with the death of its president Daniel Burley Woolfall in 1918.One of the gestures that can be seen today is the tribute made by the Premier League in the days that remain around November 11, the Day of Remembrance in the United Kingdom. All teams wear a patch, usually in the center of the chest, with a red poppy in honor of soldiers killed in combat. It is a general movement of all British society to which football also joins.
It was the 10th minute, Vicente Calderón was holding his breath. Saúl grabbed a ball and sewed it to his boot to run with it and knock down rivals in his path like someone who takes lint off his shoulder. First Xabi Alonso, then Bernat, later Alaba, when he was already in the area and kicking with the left. When the ball landed in the net as it passed he had taken a ghost that weighed in the old rojiblanco stadium as Lisbon would later do: the goal Schwarzenbeck one minute from that final of the Champions League in Brussels that snatched the European Cup that was already cradled, 1-1, tiebreaker match, 4-0 for the Germans who did not meet again with Atlético until tonight, the one of April 27, 2016. It was the first leg of the semifinals of that Champions League that ended in Milan and Saúl’s goal helped the rojiblancos take a first step and end that ghost. Schwarzenbeck. A particular legend began: that of Saul himself who knows nothing of current goals. If he had already shown proof of this in the 4-0 of Real Madrid on February 7, 2015, with the 2-0 of a fabulous Chilean, her words would later be prescient. “This goal gives me status in the locker room.” The night of Bayern would add a nuance that would define him later: Saúl would not only know of spectacular and important goals, these would always serve to boost Atlético, goals open matches.It happened again in Eindhoven, Leverkusen, just three months ago, before the coronavirus stopped it all, against Liverpool in the first leg of the round of 16. When Atlético needed it most, his boot appeared again, to push the ball in a corner launched by Koke and pave the way for Atlético towards the quarters against the reigning European champion.
CALIFORNIA, Trinidad (CMC):Title-holders Jamaica crushed North Windwards to post their first win, while hosts Trinidad and Tobago carved out a steady victory over Guyana in the third round of the Regional Women’s Super50 here yesterday.At Gilbert Park, the Jamaicans pulled off a resounding 116-run win, while at Macaulay Park, the Trinidadians eased to a six-wicket verdict to record their second win of the tournament.Jamaica would have been the more relieved with their result, however, after losing their opener to Barbados last Thursday and then suffering a no-result against South Windwards two days later.Sent in, Jamaica tallied 148 all out off their 47 overs, with Chedean Nation and Vanessa Watts top-scoring with 28 and Chinelle Henry getting 20.They had a shaky start when they lost West Indies players Natasha McLean for 10 and Stafanie Taylor for three, to slip to 31 for two in the 10th over.However, Nation and Watts pulled the innings around in a 47-run third-wicket stand, which came from 67 deliveries. Neither batter managed a boundary.Henry, batting at number five, then arrived to play a busy knock of 20 off 26 balls, with three fours.Seamer Krisani Irish was the best bowler with four for 30, while Qiana Joseph (2-18) and Swayline William (2-23) picked up two wickets apiece.In reply, North Windwards slid to 32 all out off 16.5 overs, with off-spinner Watts wrecking the innings with four for 10 and Taylor taking three for four with her off-breaks.no double figuresNot a single player reached double figures, with Irish’s five being the top score.T&T, meanwhile, racked up a crucial second win to follow up their eight-wicket victory over South Windwards last week.Winning the toss and opting to field, they reduced Guyana to 101 for eight off 50 overs, and then easily overhauled their target off 30 overs.Opener Amanda Samaroo top-scored with 32 from off 75 deliveries, with two fours, adding 31 for the second wicket with Shenelle Lord, who made 10. Off-spinner Plaffiana Millington was the best bowler with two for 41.Earlier, Guyana made heavy weather of their innings and never really got going, despite Shemaine Campbelle’s top score of 25 and Melanie Henry’s 21.Henry and Lashuna Toussaint (7) put on 28 for the first wicket, but the partnership consumed 67 balls and set the momentum for the innings.Off-spinner Karishma Ram-harack (2-14) and slow medium Felicia Walters (2-22) finished with two wickets apiece.

Thirty-six-year-old Devon Adams, a computer technician who plies his trade in the Charlestown/Albouystown wards of the city, was on Friday remanded to prison after appearing before Georgetown Magistrate Leron Daly to answer to a narcotics trafficking charge.He denied that, on March 11, 2018, he had in his possession 2.510 kilograms of cannabis for the purpose of trafficking.A second charge read to him stated that the Police also found a grenade in his possession.Attorney-at-law Keoma Griffith, representing Adams in a bail application, said that Adams has two young children and his spouse recently died. Griffith told the court that the cannabis was not found on his client, but in a yard at Sophia occupied by several other residents, where as a contractor he was carrying out construction works.The Police Prosecutor, however, objected to bail; giving as his reason that the Police have enough evidence to proceed with trial.Bail was refused, and the case has been set to continue on April 5.
SAN FRANCISCO – After battling a mountain lion, enduring multiple surgeries and spending weeks in the hospital, a 70-year-old hiker has recovered and is ready to go home, his surgeon said Tuesday. Jim Hamm has “made a steady improvement” in the more than two weeks since a female mountain lion attacked him while he was hiking with his wife at Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park in Humboldt County, said Dr. Rudy Buntic of California Pacific Medical Center. Hamm has been walking the halls at the San Francisco hospital and reading cards from well-wishers across the country, said his wife, Nell, 65, who smashed the cat in the snout with a large branch and stabbed it with a pen to fend off the attack. “This would be a story of Greek mythology,” Buntic said. “These two people fought off a lion.” 160Want local news?Sign up for the Localist and stay informed Something went wrong.

Hamm was airlifted to the San Francisco hospital Jan. 28 after he showed signs of a dangerous blood infection at a facility in Arcata, where he first underwent surgery. A team of surgeons led by Buntic moved muscle tissue taken from Hamm’s leg to the back of his head, where he had suffered the most severe bites and scratches, then grafted skin on top. Game wardens closed the park and shot and killed a pair of lions. Researchers identified one of them as the animal that attacked Hamm. Hamm will attend physical therapy sessions for his arms and hands, which are still stiff and swollen, Buntic said.
With stricter federal wastewater system effluent regulations coming into play in January 2015, the City recently decided to close the station as of December 31, 2014, and reduce its hours to 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Friday starting October 1, 2013 until the closure. In the past few years it’s had issues with disallowed types of waste being brought in that hurt the system, and whatever is brought in becomes the City’s responsibility. Council and City staff met with sewage haulers, rural residents, and representatives of the Peace River Regional District on Tuesday, October 24, where suggestions were made to try and avoid a back up in sewer service. Among them were having the station open 12 hours a day 6 days a week, implementing a stricter screening process for access, and charging more per cubic metre to cover the cost of monitoring the station. A staff report will come to council at its October 15 meeting.- Advertisement –

By Shelly Leachman STAFF WRITER Barely a month after a giant tree fronting the school was felled over safety concerns – and despite pleas to save it – El Segundo’s Richmond Street Elementary has planted multiple replacements. In a Friday event that launched the school’s participation in districtwide efforts to go green, the 500-member student body planted nearly two-dozen new trees across their sprawling campus. “I think it’s a pretty good thing to do,” said fifth-grader Imaiya-Milan Wright, 10. “It’s good for our environment because it helps the trees and the animals.” The move comes about five weeks after the removal of a stone pine tree called Richard, whose destruction was proposed and denied three times since 1999. Board members approved its ouster last month. Over the years a kindergartners’ play and lunch area sprang up under and around the 70-year-old tree, sparking fears of a potential tragedy if one of its massive limbs were to fall. Pointing to an arborist’s report that the tree was healthy and an assessment that no tree can ever be guaranteed 100percent safe, area environmentalists begged the board to save Richard, asking that they instead install a crutch system to better secure the branches. The tree was taken down Aug. 21. Five new trees were quickly planted outside the school, according to Principal Dickie Van Breene. And Friday’s festivities – where every student was sent home with a baby-tree planting kit – added 23 more. “It had always been a goal to plant more trees here,” Van Breene said. “And if all these kids plant those baby trees at home, that will mean 530 more trees in El Segundo.” Hoping to also help environmental awareness grow in its students, the school this year is amping up its recycling efforts, making a big push for Walk to School Day (which happens across the country Wednesday) and has established a green committee of teachers assigned to keep the eco-education ideas flowing. The latter collaboration resulted in Friday’s special guest, biologist Kelly Kephart, who spoke to several classes earlier in the day about the creation and conservation of wetlands that she does in her work for the URS Corp. “I’m so glad they’re teaching them this stuff now so they’re aware of their environment,” Kephart said later of the school’s new initiatives. “Hopefully, it will spark an awareness earlier on – maybe they’ll want to be biologists someday.” Before the planting began Friday afternoon, a short presentation featured several students reciting facts about trees. “Trees enhance the aesthetics of our environment,” one boy said to start things off. “Trees are the longest-living organisms on Earth,” a girl added. After several more kids chimed in, a shaggy blond-haired boy took the microphone and joked: “People who plant trees become healthier, better looking, richer and have more friends.” “Well, maybe that’s stretching it,” he continued, “but we’re gonna plant some trees today and find out.” With that, every class in school lined up at their assigned tree and every student took a turn with the shovel. (The young trees – a mix of Chinese fringe, golden rain and golden trumpet – had already been placed in pre-dug holes.) Before darting off for some apple juice and to retrieve his baby-tree kit, fifth-grader Amit Pujari had this to say of the day’s events: “It helps with our oxygen. Without trees we wouldn’t have much oxygen, so we need to make sure they stay around a long time. We need as much oxygen as we can get.” email@example.comWant local news?Sign up for the Localist and stay informed Something went wrong. Please try again.subscribeCongratulations! You’re all set!

Historic Nauvoo became one giant classroom Sept. 23 as 11 scholars were stationed individually at various historic sites to give perspectives on the life and teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith.
It was the opening portion of a two-day series of events that culminated with a dramatization in the Illinois capital of Springfield on "Habeas Corpus and the Courts: Individual Liberties from Joseph Smith to Abraham Lincoln to Guantanamo." (Please see related articles on pages 3 and 4.)
Members of the state's legal and historic preservation communities, along with visitors from Utah and others states, gathered in Nauvoo for the event, arranged with participation from the Church, Community of Christ, the Mormon Historic Sites Foundation and other organizations.
Among dignitaries from Utah were the state's governor, Gary Herbert, and former Gov. Olene Walker.
In an interview, Gov. Herbert said he was invited to come by Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn, a longtime acquaintance. He said he and his wife, Jeanette, were delighted to respond to the invitation because they both are descended from Nauvoo residents; he from Israel Barlow, who negotiated the purchase of the land on which Nauvoo was built, and she from Shadrach Roundy, personal bodyguard to Joseph Smith.
"It gives me a perspective on what a beautiful spot they had here and the sacrifice they made," Gov. Herbert said, adding that they drained a swamp to make it habitable and, when the Mormon pioneers founded Utah, they did the reverse, adding water to the land instead of taking it away, to make it "blossom as a rose."
"It shows what hardy souls they were, and how hardworking," he said. "Can we do any less? It makes me want to try harder."
Here is a sampling of some of the perspectives given by scholars at the Nauvoo historic sites:
Thomas B. Griffith
Judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, Brother Grifith addressed the topic of opposition to Mormonism in mid-19th century America.
Speaking near the front of the Nauvoo Illinois Temple, he identified as sources of anxiety among neighbors the fact that Mormons gathered together, that as New Englanders they were culturally different than their frontier neighbors, that they drew adherents away from other religious faiths and that there were already rumors of the practice of plural marriage among Mormons during the Nauvoo period.
Religious beliefs radically different for the time period were also a factor, he said.
John W. Welch
Speaking at the Cultural Hall in Nauvoo, John W. Welch addressed the topic of the U.S. Constitution and the Missouri extradition attempts.
A professor of law at Brigham Young University, Brother Welch said a number of constitutional issues characterized the legal battles against the Prophet.
They included the right to petition the government for redress of grievances, language that is found in the First Amendment. Could such redress include compensation for property loss, as the Saints suffered in Missouri? No lawyer in Joseph Smith's day could address that, Brother Welch said.
Another constitutional issue he identified was the definition of treason. Joseph Smith was held in Liberty and Carthage jails on charges of treason, for which bail could not be posted. He argued that no treason occurred, that the Saints were not making war against the federal government, that they were exercising their right to keep and bear arms in defending themselves, Brother Welch said.
Ronald K. Esplin
Joseph Smith's 1844 campaign for election to the U.S. presidency was the subject of Ronald K. Esplin's presentation in the yard of the Brigham Young Home in Nauvoo.
Brother Esplin, a general editor and recent managing editor of the Joseph Smith Papers project, said Joseph's campaign was an outgrowth of the Saints' efforts to follow the Lord's instruction in Doctrine and Covenants 101. Therein, they were directed first to petition the judges, then the governor, and finally the president of the United States for redress of the injuries they had suffered from persecution.
None of these efforts bore fruit, and no candidate for president, when asked, appeared disposed to help "he basically said, 'If we can't find anybody and have to throw our votes away, we had just as well throw them away on ourselves,'" Brother Esplin said.
Joseph's candidacy was cut short by his being murdered by a mob in June 1844.
Director of Community of Christ historic sites, Lachlan Mackay spoke at the Joseph Smith Homestead on "The Mormon Jubilee," a song written by Wilson Law and Willard Richards, with verses added by Eliza R. Snow, to celebrate Joseph Smith's release after prevailing in the habeas corpus hearing in Springfield, Ill.
He handed out copies of the song, which was to sung to the tune of Auld Lang Syne, and had the audience sing together the chorus and some of the numerous verses, including the opening:
And are you sure the news is true?
And are you sure he's free?
Then let us join with one accord
And have a jubilee.

Want all natural beef that’s locally raised on a 100-percent grass diet, then Wisconsin Meadows is what you’re looking for. It’s the trade name of beef produced by members of the Wisconsin Grass-fed Beef Cooperative.
The cooperative is comprised of more than 70 Wisconsin family farmers who believe that rotationally grazing cattle is the best way to raise lean, tasty beef.
These farmers manage their pastures to protect soil and water resources and provide wildlife habitat. Cooperative farmers raise old world British breeds such as Devon, Angus, Galloway, White Park and others that are proven to be hearty and thrive on an all-forage diet.
Low-stress handling and rotational grazing keep the cattle and pastures healthy. The cattle also are raised without the use of synthetic growth hormones or antibiotics.
Based in Elkhorn, WI., the cooperative has established groups of farms around the state that send their cattle to nearby processors and on to restaurants and stores in the nearest markets. You’ll find Wisconsin Meadows beef at your favorite Outpost location. Pick some up and taste the difference.

Nicholas A. Christakis and James H. Fowler, in a recent paper titled “Friendship and Natural Selection,” make an interesting hypothesis: that we select friends who have similar genetic makeup as ourselves. The dataset used was the famous Framingham Heart Study. From their abstract:
More than any other species, humans form social ties to individuals who are neither kin nor mates, and these ties tend to be with similar people. Here, we show that this similarity extends to genotypes. Across the whole genome, friends’ genotypes at the SNP level tend to be positively correlated (homophilic); however, certain genotypes are negatively correlated (heterophilic). A focused gene set analysis suggests that some of the overall correlation can be explained by specific systems; for example, an olfactory gene set is homophilic and an immune system gene set is heterophilic. Finally, homophilic genotypes exhibit significantly higher measures of positive selection, suggesting that, on average, they may yield a synergistic fitness advantage that has been helping to drive recent human evolution.
So the interesting question is why would this happen? The arXiv blog goes into possible explanations:
Perhaps the genetic links are simply a reflection of this common background. Not so, say Christakis and Fowler. The correlation they have found exists only between friends but not between strangers. If this was a reflection of their common ancestry, then the genomes of strangers should be correlated just as strongly. “Pairs of (strictly unrelated) friends generally tend to be more genetically homophilic than pairs of strangers from the same population,” they point out.
There are certainly other processes that could lead to friends having similar genomes. One idea that dates back some 30 years is that a person’s genes causes them to seek out circumstances that are compatible with their phenotype. If that’s the case, then people with similar genes should end up in similar environments.
Personally, I don’t buy this:
There may be another mechanism at work. One idea is that humans can somehow identify people with similar genetic make up, perhaps with some kind of pheromone detector. Indeed, Christakis and Fowler say that some of the genes they found in common are related to olfaction, a discovery they describe as “intriguing and supportive”.
While interesting, I’m not entirely convinced of the overall findings and would be curious to see this study expand. What do you think?

All this will lead to further deterioration of the condition of both your health and debt as well.
Mental Anxiety Is Dangerous
Mental anxiety is very dangerous to health and your overall life. It leads to depression which is even more harmful. You start to take erratic, wrong and unnecessary decisions which affect your debt condition and also the condition of your health and family relationship. You tend to become violent and take drastic steps to feel some respite from the depressed condition. You may become an alcoholic or even take on to drugs which will cause even more danger. You start to tell lies to your closed ones which affect the relation. You avoid social contacts, live in fear all the times and such solitary behavior may one day result in committing suicide even.
Signs Of Anxiety
You can notice several symptoms of anxiety as it manifests in ways more than one. The most common symptom of anxiety is panic attacks in the chest when it feels tightening making it very difficult for you to breathe. You get the idea that something terrible is going to happen and there is no way of escaping it. These are all mental manifestations, though, but it can have serious physical signs as well. You will experience a trembling feeling with profuse sweating, nausea and an increase in the heartbeat rate. You should not take anxiety lightly and therefore, to more about the symptoms check online.
Anxiety Leads To Depression
When anxiety reaches serious levels, it causes depression in you. This is even more dangerous as it goes beyond self-doubt and sadness. There is a wide array of depression symptoms. Some of these symptoms are sleep apnea or insomnia, over or under eating leading to obesity and other physical problems. You may lose interest in life as well as any activities which you enjoyed very much before. Dark thoughts are very common in a depressed state. Medical problems like increase in blood pressure, deposition of body fuel in the bloodstream, increase in cholesterol may lead to serious heart diseases including heart attacks and strokes.
The Relief Process
There are some activities and exercises that can provide you some relief in such conditions. You should run and jog regularly, meditate, feel relaxed, listening to music or talk to someone you like, part of eating healthy and balanced diet.

Hoffman Nursery recognized for promoting plants for green infrastructure
The award recognizes outstanding leadership and innovation in environmental stewardship in regard to water conservation, water use efficiency, and the development and implementation of green infrastructure (GI) by an individual, organization, or government entity.
In keeping with this year’s conference theme of green infrastructure, NCGIC Board Member Doug Chapman noted that Hoffman Nursery has positioned itself as a supplier to GI markets nationwide. The nursery team works with other wholesale growers to help them see the potential of grasses, sedges, and other plant species in meeting the needs of local and regional governments for GI projects. In addition, Hoffman Nursery is working to develop more demonstration areas on site. They want to show customers and visitors how the plants work and provide feedback for selecting new species and cultivars for GI.
The award also addresses water conservation and efficiency. Hoffman Nursery handles water on site with a series of bioswales and wetland areas to increase infiltration and clean the water. The system can treat the first inch of stormwater, and runoff is stored in ponds to be reused for irrigation. Buffer zones around ponds and waterways within the nursery also help ensure runoff is treated.
Jill and John Hoffman accepted the award and thanked both the employees of Hoffman Nursery and the North Carolina Green Industry Council for their hard work and dedication to improving the environment. According to John, “We’re happy to be increasing awareness of plants for green infrastructure, and we love seeing the market expand. The most fun, though, is implementing GI projects at the nursery. Seeing the plants in action and knowing they’re creating a better environment is pretty exciting.”
