Hershey Pie is a rich, chocolate no-bake pie, with a taste just as delicious as the Edward’s and Burger King sundae pie! This homemade pie recipe is SO easy to make, and it’s loved by everyone who tries it!
Before you get to far, you’ll also need this Hershey Chocolate Syrup Recipe!
Are you a fellow Hershey Pie lover? If so, I’ve perfected a Homemade Hershey Sundae Pie recipe and am dying to share it with you!
What to serve with a Hershey Pie?
Every time I have served this Hershey Pie recipe, it was because I was hosting a party or Sunday Supper. What I typically serve is:
- Pulled Pork Sliders Recipe
- Steak & Chicken Kabobs
- Best Grilled Chicken
- Mexican Corn Salad
- Deviled Eggs
- Green Beans Recipe
and Texas Roadhouse Rolls never disappoint! What I like about the majority of these recipes (besides grilling the Kabobs & making the Mexican Corn Salad) are, you can make these recipes before your guests arrive!
How long can you freeze a Hershey’s Pie for?
This is a great question! I typically make these Homemade Hershey Sundae Pies a day or two in advance of when I am needing them. The longer they are in the freezer for, the more they harden and will need a longer thaw time. So, keep that in mind!
I wouldn’t freeze for any longer than two weeks. I’m sure they will be good way beyond that, but, there’s no reason to hang onto the pie!
Watch me make it live…
How to Make Hershey Pie – Step by Step
Step #1: Whisk Hershey’s Chocolate Pudding and 1 ½ cups of milk in a large bowl. Place in refrigerator to firm up.
Step #2: Next, start on the cream cheese layer. In another large bowl, mix the cream cheese until it softens. Add in vanilla and powdered sugar. Mix until combined.
Step #3: Spoon the cream cheese mixture into the pie crust and spread until you have an even layer. Place in the freezer to firm up.
Step #4: Make whipped cream.
Step #5: Once whipped cream is complete, place half of it into your pudding and fold to incorporate it into the pudding. Once the pudding and whipped cream are combined, pour the mixture over the cream cheese mixture in the pie crust.
Step #6: For the final layer, repeat the process for Homemade Whipped Cream for the entire top of the pudding. Next, using a spoon, drizzle Homemade Chocolate Syrup over the top of the whipped cream. Place back into the freezer for at least 6 hours, overnight if possible.
Step #7: 30 minutes before you’re ready to serve the pie, get it out of the freezer to thaw. After 30 minutes, cut it with a sharp knife and serve!
Tips for Making Copycat Hershey Sundae Pie
- Make the Homemade Hershey Chocolate Syrup Recipe before you start the recipe.
Yep, that’s a copycat Hershey’s Chocolate Syrup, and you’ll use it in this recipe! Over 143,000 people have shared that recipe, so I promise it’s a good one. 😉 (I include a video of the whole process!)
- To make homemade whipped cream the “old fashioned” way, check out my Homemade Whipped Cream post.
- Thaw the entire pie for about 30 minutes prior to serving. Seriously, don’t skip this step in the process. You don’t want it to be completely firm when you eat it.

In accordance with European guidelines, mammography screening comprises independent readings by two breast radiologists (double reading). CAD (computer-aided detection) has been suggested to complement or replace one of the two readers (single reading+CAD).
The aim of this systematic review is to address the following question: Is the reading of mammographic x-ray images by a single breast radiologist together with CAD at least as accurate as double reading?
The electronic literature search included the databases Pub Med, EMBASE and The Cochrane Library. Two independent reviewers assessed abstracts and full-text articles.
1049 abstracts were identified, of which 996 were excluded with reference to inclusion and exclusion criteria; 53 full-text articles were assessed for eligibility. Finally, four articles were included in the qualitative analysis, and one in a GRADE synthesis.
The scientific evidence is insufficient to determine whether the accuracy of single reading+CAD is at least equivalent to that obtained in standard practice, i.e. double reading where two breast radiologists independently read the mammographic images.
Following reports from Swedish randomized trials [1-4], breast cancer screening programs with mammography have been established in recent decades in many countries . The age range of women invited to screening varies between countries. The Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare recommends mammography screening at regular intervals to all women between 40 and 74years. The initial results from the randomized trials, showing a reduction in mortality in breast cancer, have been confirmed by long-term follow-up [6,7] Similar results have been obtained in established population-based service screening programs [8,9]. However, the pros and cons of mammography screening and how the results should be interpreted  are still matters for debate.
Besides the primary aim of detecting breast cancers in screening programs, it is important that recall rates are kept as low as possible without impairing detection rates. In this respect, the recommended recall rate in Sweden and in the rest of Europe should not exceed five per cent . The reasons for recall are several, such as suspicious findings suggesting malignancy, indeterminate findings that need further work-up, and occasionally for technical reasons or if the woman reports clinical symptoms at the time of the screening examination.
As the radiological image of breast tissue is complex, mammograms need to be interpreted by highly specialized radiologists. Figure1 shows an example of mammography images.
Factors that affect the ability to detect a breast cancer (sensitivity) are e.g. the prevalence of breast cancer in the target population, dense breast tissue, the frequency of tumours with subtle mammographic signs, and suboptimal technical quality. These factors, combined with high daily volumes (each Swedish screening centre usually screens more than 20,000 women annually), makes accurate screening a challenging task. Sensitivity levels of 70–85% and specificity levels of 82–98% at mammography screening have been reported . In order to maintain high sensitivity and specificity, resulting in high cancer detection rates and low false-positive rates, Swedish and European guidelines recommend double reading, i.e. that the breast images are reviewed by two specially trained radiologists (breast radiologists). Double reading has been shown to increase cancer detection rates by 5–17% .
Computer-aided detection (CAD) is a computerized method for analysing images in mammography screening. Although the method has existed for approximately 10years, its contribution to routine screening is still debatable [13-15]. The program used in CAD identifies and marks areas which the software identifies as abnormal breast tissue. The CAD program is not intended to be the sole method for analysing mammography images. Rather, it is designed to alert the radiologist to possibly suspicious areas. Hence, a radiologist must interpret and make a decision to act upon (accept or dismiss) each CAD mark. On average, each screening examination generates two false positive marks; CAD gives 400 false positive marks for each true positive mark .
Lack of an adequate number of trained breast radiologists has led to a growing interest in computerized analysis of mammography images. There has been a discussion as to whether CAD in conjunction with mammography screening could replace one of the breast radiologists. A prerequisite would be that diagnostic accuracy and patient benefit are at least equivalent to what is achieved when the mammographic images are read by two breast radiologists. Another important prerequisite is that not too many women need to be recalled for further diagnostic work-up.
The value of CAD in mammography screening has been questioned in earlier reviews [17,18]. The literature is scarce on studies performed in authentic screening situations. As the performance of CAD systems has improved considerably, it was considered appropriate to reassess the performance of CAD in population-based screening programs.
This review is part of a comprehensive systematic review, published in Swedish by SBU (Swedish Council on Health Technology Assessment), of computer-aided detection (CAD) as a diagnostic method in mammography screening . SBU is an independent government agency for the critical evaluation of methods for preventing, diagnosing and treating health problems.
The objective of the present is systematic review is to address the following question: Is the reading of mammographic images by a single breast radiologist plus CAD at least as accurate as readings by two breast radiologists (current practice) in terms of:
· sensitivity (probability that a person with the disease has a positive test result);
· specificity (probability that a healthy person has a negative test result);
· cancer detection rate (number of cancer cases detected per 1,000 women examined);
· recall rate (proportion of women who are recalled for further investigation); and
CAD research has been developed over the past two decades. CAD was first applied to digitized (scanned) screen-film mammograms (SFM). The introduction of full-field digital mammography (FFDM) has led to intensified efforts to optimise the method. CAD makes a computerized analysis of mammograms and identifies areas that need to be reviewed. The precise algorithms used by different CAD suppliers are still a commercial secret and are not further reviewed here. Two types of marks are generally used: one for microcalcifications and the other for other mammographic features such as density, mass and distortion. The systems can be adjusted to yield very high sensitivity but at the cost of specificity, generating a high rate of false positive marks.
According to a recent review, the sensitivity of CAD for microcalcifications representing malignancies is 98–99% . However, only 15–20% of detected cancers present as microcalcifications on screening mammograms . The same review reports that the sensitivity of CAD for other mammographic features representing malignancies ranges from 89 to 75%, in some cases down to 50%.
It has been assumed that CAD will be used increasingly with the transition from analogue to digital mammography. The reproducibility of CAD prompts in FFDM is expected to be more consistent than with scanned mammograms. The primary inclusion criterion in this review was CAD on FFDMs. However, when prospective studies based on FFDM could not be found, scanned analogue images were accepted.
The electronic literature search included the databases PubMed, EMBASE, and The Cochrane Library from 1950 to November 2011. All Western European languages were accepted. The Mesh terms were: Breast neoplasms, Breast, Mammography, Breast (TW), Mammography (TW) AND Computer aided detection (TW) AND Computer aided diagnosis (TW) AND Cad (TW), and Economic aspects. The complete search strategy can be provided on request.
The electronic searches yielded 1049 abstracts (Figure2). Two reviewers (EA and SZ) read the abstracts independently. An article was read in full text if at least one of the two reviewers considered an abstract to be potentially relevant. Hand search and grey literature did not result in any additional articles. The pre-specified inclusion/exclusion criteria are given below. Altogether, 53 articles were read in full text and assessed independently by the same two reviewers using the QUADAS tool . Of the 53 articles, 49 did not fulfil the inclusion criteria and were excluded from further analysis. A list of excluded articles with the main reason for exclusion is available on request.
PICO elements were used to describe the population, index test, reference test and outcome:
P – Population: women, 40–74years old, participating in mammography screening
I – Intervention (index test): CAD+one breast radiologist (single reading)
C – Control (reference test): reading by two independent radiologists (double reading)
O – Outcome: sensitivity, specificity, cancer detection rate and recall rate
The inclusion criteria were:
· population-based screening
· ≥5,000 women included
· study setting corresponding to Swedish conditions
· follow-up time≥12months
· mammography readings with one breast radiologist+CAD compared with readings by two breast radiologists.
The diagnostic accuracy (validity) of a test (index test) requires a reference standard (reference test) for comparison. Two index tests were used here: 1) CAD+single reading, and 2) double reading. The reference standard should reflect the reality as closely as possible and the ideal gold standard is histopathological verification. However, biopsying all individuals is not feasible when screening an asymptomatic population. The reference standard in this review was biopsy of suspected cases or follow-up. The ultimate outcome was survival. Because no randomized controlled trials have been performed to document changes in survival following the use of double reading compared to single reading with CAD, surrogate outcomes such as cancer detection rate and recall rate are used. The main outcome measures are sensitivity and specificity. Sensitivity is the number of true positive tests divided by the total number of true cancer cases. Specificity is the number of true negative tests divided by the total number of healthy breast cases. In addition, cost-effectiveness has been considered.
The quality of each included study was rated high, moderate or low according to pre-specified criteria given in Table1.
· High (). Based on high or moderate quality studies containing no factors that weaken the overall judgement.
· Moderate (O). Based on high or moderate quality studies containing isolated factors that weaken the overall judgement.
· Limited (OO). Based on high or moderate quality studies containing factors that weaken the overall judgement.
· Insufficient (OOO). The evidence base is insufficient when scientific evidence is lacking, the quality of available studies is low or studies of similar quality are contradictory.
Applying GRADE serves to obtain answers to the following questions. How much confidence can one have in a particular estimate of effect? Is the result sustainable, or is it likely that new research findings will change the evidence in the foreseeable future? The rating starts at high, but confidence in the evidence may be reduced for several reasons, including limitations in the study design and/or quality, inconsistency or indirectness of results, imprecise estimates and probability of publication bias. Any disagreements on inclusion/exclusion criteria, rating quality of individual studies or quality of evidence of test methods were solved by consensus.
· Sensitivity = probability that a person with a disease has a positive test result.
· Specificity = probability that a healthy person has a negative test result.
· Relative sensitivity = number of detected cancer cases per reader divided by the total number of detected cancer cases.
· Population based mammography screening = all women in certain age groups receive a personal mailed invitation to get a mammogram at regular intervals (1.5 – 3 years)
· Cancer detection rate = the number of cancer cases detected per 1000 women examined.
· Recall rate = the number of women per 1000 woman recalled for further investigation.
· Interval cancer = cancer cases detected between two screening occasions.
The results of the literature search and the outcome of the selection procedures are shown in a flow chart (Figure2).
Fifty-three articles were reviewed in full text. Nine of them were review articles [12,16-18,24-28]. Many studies had not been performed in screening settings or had selected or enriched populations, sometimes without comparison between single reading+CAD and double reading [14,29-57]. Nine studies had large populations, but compared only single reading+CAD with single reading [58-66]. One study that only described different cancer types was excluded .
Four studies were included in the summary results, Table2 (see Additional file 1). Three of them had methodological shortcomings and were judged to be of low quality [68-70]. Only one study, of moderate quality, was included in the GRADE synthesis, Table3. This was a prospective multicentre study based on the UK national screening program and including 28,204 women aged 50–70years. No statistically significant difference was found between single reading+CAD and double reading for cancer detection rate (7.02/1000 and 7.06/1 000). The overall agreement between the two strategies was 74.9% (170/227). However, single reading with CAD gave a significantly higher recall rate (3.9% versus 3.4%; p=0.001). Compared to double reading, single reading with CAD gave lower sensitivity (87.2% versus 87.7%) and lower specificity (96.9% versus 97.4%) but the differences were not statistically significant. Due to incomplete follow-up, sensitivity was likely to be overestimated. Overall, there was no statistically significant difference between the two strategies as regards pathological characteristics of the 57 detected cancers. Study results are reported in Tables2 and and3.3.
Because of their shortcomings, the remaining three studies were not considered in our conclusions. However they deserve to be described. Two were conducted in the U.S.A. [68,69], where population-based screening programs are not used. The populations are less well described and it is not clear whether the women received a personal invitation or had sought to get for mammography on their own. Moreover, recall rates were 8–12%, notably higher than recommended in Sweden and Europe (<5%). The larger of these two studies was retrospective and included 231,221 women who underwent mammography screening . The other study was prospective with 6381 consecutive screening examinations . Their results showed no statistically significant difference in cancer detection rate and the recall rates were inconsistent.
The third study was conducted within the framework of the United Kingdom National Health Service Screening Programme . It was prospective and included 6111 screening examinations with a relatively high total cancer detection rate; 10/1000 including those detected by double reading and single reading with CAD and because of symptoms. Even women over 64years of age (the upper limit for screening in the UK) were included, which may partly explain the relatively high prevalence of cancer cases. Another explanation may be that the interval between screening sessions was three years (usually 1.5-2years in Europe). Due to lack of follow-up, the authors calculated a so-called relative sensitivity, where single reading+CAD gave a lower but not statistically significantly different sensitivity of 91.5% compared to 98.4% with double reading. Single reading+CAD had a significantly higher recall rate (6.1%) compared to double reading (5.0%).
To conclude, these three studies show partly conflicting results and it is difficult to draw any conclusions. According to Gilbert et al. , the two reading methods resulted in equal numbers of cancer cases. However, this was achieved at the expense of a statistically significantly higher recall rate, implying unnecessary additional examinations. Recall rates in the two studies from the USA [68,69] were two to three times higher than in Sweden (average 3% [20,72]) and not in accordance with European guidelines (<5% ).
The results of the literature search on economic aspects show that out of 44 abstracts, only one led to the inclusion of the full-text article . The medical scientific evidence was insufficient to study cost-effectiveness and the quality of the study was judged to be low.
The results of this systematic review indicate that the scientific evidence is insufficient to determine whether single mammographic reading by one breast radiologist+CAD is as accurate as the current practice of double reading involving two breast radiologists.
CAD has been developed to act as a second reader for two main reasons: to enhance the diagnostic sensitivity of mammography screening and to compensate for the lack of trained breast radiologists. Most of the literature on CAD for mammography comprises studies concerning technical aspects, such as improvements to software, analysis of subtypes of breast cancer, e.g. microcalcifications only, densities only, distortions or combinations of these. The majority of the clinical studies was performed on selected materials enriched with cancer cases, and thus did not represent a true screening situation. Furthermore, comparison with double reading was not a standard procedure in many of the studies. Since the aim of this review was to critically evaluate the scientific evidence of CAD’s performance in large population-based screening programs, only four studies met our strict inclusion criteria [68-71]. Of these, only one was considered to have sufficient relevance and quality .
Two major shortcomings in study design apply to all four included studies. One is survival rate, which is the most important outcome in mammography screening. None of these studies compared the survival rates with the two strategies, and therefore the present outcome measures (cancer detection rate and recall rate) can be regarded as surrogate outcomes. The other shortcoming is incomplete follow-up. As pointed out in the study by Gilbert et al. , sensitivity will be overestimated because of this shortcoming.
Although the study by Gilbert et al.  comprised a large population and had an elaborate study set-up, its generalisability is limited since all participating breast radiologists had extensive experience of mammography screening. This is not always the case in an authentic setting. The impact of CAD performance on scanned analogue radiographs as compared to digital mammography is also a matter of concern.
Initially, all CAD studies were performed on scanned analogue mammograms that were analysed with CAD. Over time there has been a transition from analogue to digital mammography and this process is still ongoing in many parts of the world. The reliability of CAD analysis of scanned films has been questioned . This aspect, together with the fact that modern mammography is performed in a digital environment, implies that new studies are required to fully understand CAD’s performance and outcomes in large population-based screening programmes using digital mammography.
Lack of trained radiologists remains a problem even when CAD is used. Using CAD as a first/second reader due to unavailability of a trained breast radiologist could be unsustainable, for instance due to retirement. In any case, new generations of breast radiologists must be secured. Besides, being able to discuss uncertain cases with an experienced colleague is absolutely essential, both for educational purposes and in order to avoid too many false positives/false negatives. When working with CAD, a single radiologist will always have to make the final decision to recall or not to recall a woman for further work-up. This decision may depend on a single CAD mark in an area where the radiologist did not react initially. In our opinion, the single radiologist using CAD needs to be highly experienced, particularly when deciding not to recall a woman for further work-up when a potential cancer might be missed. In conclusion, education and training of new generations of breast radiologists have to be done irrespective of the use of CAD, although it has been suggested that CAD could be used in the training of radiologists .
As pointed out earlier, screening policies vary between countries and this review has been performed from a European perspective. However, all screening settings have some features in common, be they population-based, centrally-organized or non-organized (“wild” or “opportunistic” screening) mammographies on asymptomatic women. High throughput is one of these factors that place high demands on smooth screening workflows. Integrating CAD into the workflow would mean that the radiologist would have actively to consider all CAD prompts, which in turn increases the total reading time.
High recall rates imply that more women have to return for additional investigation, involving new mammographic images and often also ultrasound examination. In addition, some have to undergo biopsy and in some cases even surgery. This also means more visits to doctors/hospitals for these women. Overall, additional resources are required and women are worried unnecessarily. Since the medical consequences are not convincingly positive, it is not possible to determine either the cost-effectiveness and/or the socioeconomic consequences of replacing one of the readers with CAD in the context of mammography screening.
The conclusions from this systematic review are:
· The scientific evidence is insufficient to determine whether CAD+single reading by one breast radiologist would yield results that are at least equivalent to those obtained in standard practice, i.e. double reading where two breast radiologists independently read the mammographic images.
· Since the medical consequences are uncertain, it is not possible to determine the cost-effectiveness or the socioeconomic consequences of replacing one of the readings with CAD in the context of mammography screening.
· Since this literature review, CAD technology has advanced further, thanks to improvements in computer software and digitalization.
· Additional prospective and preferably randomized population-based studies are essential to understand the method’s specific benefits, consequences, and costs.

REVIEW – Hamlet
Local church site of tragedy
Shakespeare's famous tragedy was staged at the Round Church which, with its unique layout and Gothic Revival architectural features, presented both challenges and opportunities for experimentation. The cast and crew handled these well.
The innovative use of lighting was a great point of interest. An image of a funeral vigil was invoked as the cast lit candles at the play's beginning; this, in coalition with the church setting, helped to set the tone for what was to come. The method of lighting the actors from below established a hint of unreality.
Other highlights were the execution of the first ghost scene and Hamlet’s soliloquy, with the stage area and the rest of the church shrouded in shadow, broken only by the actors’ held candles. The ghost’s speech was represented by a multitude of voices, arising from behind the audience – an inspired choice. There were parts in the following scenes where I found myself looking over my shoulder to see if the spectre would return. However, one issue with the lighting was that some of the LED lights could be overly bright and distracting at points, especially if you were facing them directly.
Seating the audience close to the stage area created a sense of immediacy and aided the atmosphere of high-running tension, especially in the second half of the play. Framing the stage with the large columns further contributed to the sense of unknown and unease in the play’s scenes. I have concerns that the audience in the third row may have had impeded visibility, though I did note that the staging of scenes accounted for the rounded layout of audience seating.
The whole cast gave praiseworthy performances, and the dramatic, more emotional scenes were truly moving. Each character had their own distinct way of moving around the stage and smaller gestures were used to great effect in contributing to the tone and characterisation. This was quite apparent with the jitteriness that accompanied Polonius (Will Hale) in contrast to the relative stillness of other characters, while the idle hand gestures of Claudius (Alex Hill) always managed to seem quite 'off'.
Credit is due in particular to Hamlet (Jamie Sayers), Gertrude (Rhonwen Cash), and Ophelia (Ella Blackburn), who managed to make confrontational scenes truly visceral. Moreover, Ophelia’s descent into madness was rendered eerily as her songs echoed in the gloomy church setting and her flowery dress became horribly prescient.
Also worthy of note was the Fight Director (Tom Nunan), who choreographed a fast-paced and very tense swordfight scene between Hamlet and Laertes (Charlie Saddington). Considering the number of deaths in the play, it was to the credit of the production that they were delivered with gravity and did not veer into melodrama. That of Gertrude especially was very subdued, and touched upon the motif of face-touching which had appeared earlier in the play, reframing it as something less than it had been previously.
Overall, this was a very enjoyable show that leaned into the ambiguities and uncertainties that characterise Shakespeare’s play. Given that the play has sold out, I hope that other theatregoers have as great a time as I did!

Morgan Stanley Tuesday cut its forecast for the euro vs. the dollar EURUSD, saying it now expects the common currency to fall to $1.36 by the end of the year vs. rising to $1.49.
Analysts cited deteriorating economic growth in the Eurozone, the many hurdles related to salvaging Greece\’s financial situation, and evidence that investment flows into Europe are slowing.
Morgan Stanley also forecast a decline in so-called commodity currencies, with the Australian dollar AUDUSD seen falling to $1.01 on slowing growth in China vs. a projected rise to $1.12.
The British pound GBPUSD is also seen falling to $1.49 on \”deteriorating fundamentals,\” vs. holding steady at $1.62.
But the dollar\’s gains are likely to be short-lived, the analysts conclude:
…the US is unlikely to escape the scrutiny of investors over the longer term given the high level of leverage in the US economy. Hence, while we expect the USD to rebound over the next six months, these gains could prove difficult to sustain in 2012.

Reid: Hispanic Voters Helped In Victory
LAS VEGAS -- Sen. Harry Reid won his fifth term in the U.S. Senate Tuesday night in large part to Hispanic voters, who overwhelming chose the Senate majority leader over tea party favorite Sharron Angle.
Reid said he knew from his internal polling that he had a larger lead than opinion polls led the public to believe. He also knew, he said, that an investment in courting the Hispanic vote would pay off.
As Reid gave his victory speech, Hispanic voters who cast their ballots for him cheered him on. During a meeting with the media Wednesday, he said he's been fostering that relationship for years.
"People have, in fact, made fun at me, saying 'Why are you wasting your time with a group that doesn't register? And if they register, they don't vote,'" he said.
But CNN exit polling revealed that 68 percent of Hispanics, who make up 15 percent of the electorate, voted for Reid.
Nevada Assemblyman Ruben Kihuen said the campaign ads by Reid's opponent, Sharron Angle, swayed Hispanic voters.
"On the other side, you have Sharron Angle, who was launching anti-immigrant commercials," he said. "(She) was basically depicting all immigrants as criminals."
The Reid campaign also credited the support of Hispanic volunteers in its get out the vote effort.

‘Iron Mann’ to make an appearance at Family & Children’s Place
September 29, 2016
Radio show host Carter Mann to deliver pledged contribution in his new superhero suit
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (Sept. 29, 2016) – Iron Mann is coming to Family & Children’s Place!
No, not Robert Downey Jr., but rather Carter Mann, radio host for WSFR, 107.7 The Eagle, who, donning his new tailor-made red and gold Iron Man suit, will visit the child abuse education and prevention agency on Friday, Sept. 30, to fulfill a promised donation.
“It’s going to be an adventure,” said Pam Darnall, president and CEO of Family & Children’s Place. “All of our children are superheroes in their own rights, dealing with and recovering from trauma from violence, abuse and neglect, and they inspire us every day, but a visit by one of the world’s most recognized superheroes, just adds to the excitement.”
Earlier this year, Mann and his on-air co-host, Regular Laura, announced a plan to have an Iron Man suit constructed that he could wear for local promotions and support local causes, such as hospital visits and work with nonprofits such as Family & Children’s Place. The pair created a GoFundMe page, with the plan to raise the $3,000 cost of the suit, and to donate a percentage of funds raised, plus anything exceeding the $3,000 goal to the agency.
By May, more than 80 people had pledged funds, and the target reached through a goal-topping gift from 2011 Powerball winner and radio show fan Todd Reardon, who was excited about the idea of the suit, but also wanted to support the agency.
“It’s all about helping the kids,” Reardon said at the time of the pledge.
So, staff and some children are excited about Iron Mann’s visit Friday, Sept. 30, at 10:30 a.m., at the agency’s Family Service Center on its Fifth and Kentucky streets campus.
“Everyone is looking forward to this visit by Iron Mann,” said Darnall. “We were thrilled when we learned of the campaign to secure the suit and the plan to support our work at the same time, but we’re really looking forward to seeing Carter Mann as Iron Mann and having the chance to say thank you.”

I am from PORTLAND, MAINE, not your rock and roll mecca. Luckily I had cousins in New York and MA so i was able to get my record tips. They helped me to develop my tastes as the top 40 station in Portland was way behind the country for the music I craved.
At 13, the first 45 I bought was I WONDER WHY.
In high school I DJ’d dances and Bar Mitzvah’s which was great. I could play what I wanted. I created BARRY’S HITS SHEET which i mimeographed and gave to RECORDLAND, a small record store in downtown Portland. They gave me 3 records a week of my choice. It worked out great. I also worked with some local bands by turning them on to new songs to cover. It was fun.
I came to Boston and was in musical heaven. I helped road manage THE BARBARIANS of ARE YOU A BOY OR ARE YOU A GIRL fame. We played gigs with BARRY AND THE REMAINS, THE ULTIMATE SPINACH, THE BEACON STREET UNION and did THE T.A.M.I show. All incredible stuff for a kid from Maine.
Later, after school, I bought an existing music rag called NEW ENGLAND TEEN SCENE. We covered THE BOSSTOWN SOUND which was our version of FLOWER POWER in San Francisco. Good bands, but the idea did not happen nationally.
Then I started a music/political magazine that had national distribution and old copies are currently sold on Ebay. That magazine morphed into POP TOP – THE RECORD BUYER’S GUIDE which covered all music and also was distributed nationaly through record stores. At the time, I also managed a local country/rock band, CHUCK MCDERMOTT and WHEATSTRAW. We had success on the East Coast and played the Lone Star Cafe in NYC every 6 weeks. We came very close to signing with a major but couldn’t do it. So I started Back Door records, released 3 albums and was distributed through Rounder Records.
After the beginning downward spiral of the record business in 1979 I went into retailing, opening 3 video stores in 1980. I sold them in 1988 and have been in DVD distribution since.
My passion for music has only grown but am still very much rooted in the 50’s and 60’s loving all genres like Doo Wop, Rockabilly, Country, R&B and the like. It’s the sound of my youth and makes me most comfortable.

Extra! Extra! Read all about it! The Punisher is dead! Frank Castle is dead! That’s right, you are back at Comical-Musings, your source for good comics and today we are going to briefly discuss something that happened in the Marvel Universe last year that slipped right by me. Frank Castle, The Punisher was killed.
Now it is important to note that characters die in comic books all of the time and come back three issues later. “I was just kidding!” they might say after returning from being lobotomized. Anyways, we have seen this happen myriad times with Phoenix, Captain America, Superman, and the list continues. Usually when they kill off a “smaller-scale” character they stay dead. They don’t care enough about many characters to give them a decent death let alone resurrect them later. It appears from the Dark Reign story line that Frank Castle got the full treatment. First, lets start with his death.
Dark Reign is in full swing at the time “Dark Reign – The List: Punisher” occurs. Norman Osborn, The Green Goblin, has seized control of national defense contracts and set himself up as the new “Nick Fury” of the Marvel Universe. He makes a list of individuals that he wants dead and then goes after them with reckless abandon. At the beginning of this issue, we see Osborn with four H.A.M.M.E.R heli-carriers and countless troops descending on Punisher’s position. Frank’s impending doom is nearly palpable. In the end, The Punisher runs and Dark Wolverine, Daken has to hunt and kill him. Sadistic Daken finishes Punisher off on a rooftop ripping him to pieces with his claws. As Frank Castle lays dismembered and Daken revels in his victory, you see a very dark, but very realistic moment. This was an answer to the age old question “Who wins Wolverine vs. The Punisher?” Obviously, Wolverine would win and Daken further proves it by defeating Frank even though he is the Diet Coke to Wolverine’s Coca-Cola. Of course Daken would win this fight. He has a healing factor and the military might of the USA behind him. And this is the way Frank would want to go out too. Inflicting damage on the way out and having to be utterly destroyed by extreme force. People die. This was Punisher’s death. Or was it?
Daken kicks The Punisher’s dismembered parts off of the building that he murdered Frank on. Some Moloids, subterranean monsters, at the base of the building grab the body parts and run into the sewer.
Man Thing, Morbius, and some “Legion of Monsters” sew him back up Frankenstein-style and we find that The Punisher is now Franken-Castle. He fights with the monster people for a few issues (far too long) and eventually finds a magic bloodstone that restores him back to life. This is not that interesting and terribly upsetting.
What has always made The Punisher a great character is how grounded in reality he is. Grant Morrison could never do a good Punisher story because he is too simple a character. The Punisher kills mobsters, gets revenge, is occasionally funny, and then does it all again next issue. That’s it. The Punisher is a street level vigilante with few rules and no remorse. The Punisher does not get brought back to life with robot parts to fill out a stupid archetype in a “monster force” team that already has a vampire and a swamp creature. This is beyond stupid. They try to handle it realistically in the books, but it just ends up inane. The creative team even adds Wolverine in to the mix (guaranteed sales boost) and they still mess that up. Wolverine won’t let Franken-Castle kill Daken. That is stupid. Wolverine still wants to kill Scarlet Witch for House of M and it has been YEARS. How can they ruin The Punisher’s identity this badly? It’s disconcerting. Even if…all of this stuff happens, The Punisher does not utilize a magic stone that makes him 100% healed after all of it.
The death and ressurection of The Punisher stretched through multiple Marvel books. Rick Remender took Frank to places he has never been before. They may have been interesting places to go, but they were wrong. Congratulations to Remender for doing something different, but what was done seems a bit too jarring to me. Frank deserved to die on that rooftop. It was the perfect end and packed a great deal of punch. The Punisher would live on in the wildly popular MAX titles and one-shots. The regular, Punisher-less Marvel Universe would be ok. Now, however, Marvel continuity has a black spot on it’s history and Franken-Castle is a skeleton in their closet. Frank went out like a warrior in his death, but got used for cheap thrills in his resurrection. Maybe, sometimes, great characters need to stay dead.

We know D.C. Get our free newsletter to stay in the know.
Arthur Jafa’s “Love Is the Message, the Message Is Death” (2016) is a pitch-perfect music video. It starts with the song, an extended loop of Chance the Rapper’s Grammy-worthy preamble to “Ultralight Beam,” the ascendant opener to Kanye West’s The Life of Pablo. In his sometimes fragile voice, Chance measures out pain with preciousness; on “Ultralight Beam,” he exalts a mighty God even as he confesses, “I’m just having fun with it.” Jafa is having fun with it, too, even though his subject is also righteous and terrible.
Relevant and new works like Jafa’s may be winning a different audience for the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden. While it’s purely anecdotal, over recent visits, visitors at the museum appear to be younger and more diverse than the usual set of National Mall museumgoers—even for an art museum. While the difference could simply be the long tail of the blockbuster Yayoi Kusama exhibition, the Hirshhorn is putting in the work to hold onto these millennials. Drawing from pieces in the collection and beyond, two cerebral shows on view—The Message: New Media Works and What Absence Is Made Of—chart the course for the museum.
“Love Is the Message, the Message Is Death” is a supercut of iconic moments in black history mixed with everyday scenes of severity and disgrace. There’s the bystander video of a police officer in McKinney, Texas, violently restraining a 15-year-old black girl at a pool party, after a fight broke out over a segregationist slur (“Go back to your Section 8 home”)—as well as tape of LeBron James, larger than life, destroying the rim. There’s the newsreel of Charles Ramsey talking to camera crews after he rescued Amanda Berry, a Cleveland woman who was kidnapped and held against her will for years (“I knew something was wrong when a little pretty white girl ran into a black man’s arms. Dead giveaway.”)—and also video of James Brown, electric, testifying through dance. “Love Is the Message, and the Message Is Death” finds footage in two modes of black video: the celebrity highlight and the police-cam vid.
This heinous, gorgeous artwork culminates, in a way, with a home video recording of an unseen figure instructing a black toddler to put his hands against the walls. The boy’s quivering lip breaks into a silent wail as he tries uncomprehendingly to process the instructions he is receiving from behind the camera, presumably from his father. This scene reads like a raw stage production of the talk that black parents must have with their children about law enforcement. Meanwhile, when the legendary Mahalia Jackson, goddess of gospel, lifts up her arms in praise, her rapture reads as “hands up, don’t shoot.” Sequences of the surface of the sun interrupt Jafa’s narrative, maybe to offer a way for viewers to process an abstract or real pain, by tracing the senseless fury that erupts in arcs along white-hot solar flares. “This is a God dream, this is a God dream, this is everything,” West sings.
The Message: New Media Works borrows its name from Jafa’s video artwork. But in truth, this piece is not an easy fit for a group show. “Love Is the Message” is singular, powerful, and accessible, a crisp edit of clips of performers like Drake and Steph Curry alongside similarly familiar scenes of police brutality. In the Hirshhorn’s basement show, curator Mark Beasley had the good sense to follow it up with Frances Stark’s “My Best Thing” (2011).
In this bonkers yet bewitching computer animation, blocky figurines stand in for the artist and a pair of Italian suitors, whom Stark meets in sex chat rooms. Text-to-speech programs render the transcripts of their exchanges in flat robotic voices. (Picture Siri trying to seduce Alexa, in a scene performed by Legos.) The comical presentation irons the eros right out of the sexts. Instead, it teases out a faltering sense of innocence behind all the sexy talk.
The medium, of course, is the message throughout The Message. In “Halka/Haiti 18°48’05” N 72°23’01” W” (2015) artists C.T. Jasper and Joanna Malinowska stage an opera, Stanisław Moniuszko’s Halka, in the mountain village of Cazale in Haiti. For viewers watching the panoramic film at a museum in D.C., the transfixed and perhaps nervous inhabitants are as central to the production as the performers. A goat tied up to a pole takes second billing only to the soprano. “How Not To Be Seen: A Fucking Didactic Educational .MOV File” (2013) by Hito Steyerl is a work of sustained intensity: a kaleidoscopic essay on cinematic editing, aerial photography, and facial-recognition technology. It’s also a love-note to falling into a very particular kind of YouTube hole: luxury apartment development architectural demo videos.
What Absence Is Made Of , another group exhibit on the Hirshhorn’s third floor, is just as conceptually rigorous yet still inviting to viewers. That’s in large part thanks to Ann Hamilton’s “at hand” (2001), a long-time fan favorite from the Hirshhorn’s permanent collection. The piece comprises ceiling-mounted printing machines that drop white pages like snow to the ground, making drifts of translucent fax pages. Somnolent whispers played over speakers lend to an atmosphere that’s ideal for daydreaming (or sharing on social media). It’s a shame that this room-sized installation is mounted right next door to Hiroshi Sugimoto’s essential silver gelatin sea horizons, as well as On Kawara’s minimalist date paintings—both of which demand silence and isolation.
Gianni Jetzer, the curator for What Absence Is Made Of, assembled several familiar works from the collection, including Christian Boltanski’s haunting “Monument” (1989), which memorializes the Holocaust without naming the victims in the photographs he uses. Hans Haacke’s “Condensation Cube” (1963) and Damien Hirst’s “The Asthmatic Escaped II” (1992) showcase how loss and limitation have evolved as sculptural themes over generations. Absence, as a concept, invites cascading interpretations in contemporary art. Without stretching the idea too far, Jetzer fits a host of different takes under this umbrella.
Ed Atkins’s “Safe Conduct” (2016), a new museum acquisition, shines in What Absence Is Made Of. This nervous computer animation watches a man place parts of his body through airport security. “Safe Conduct” tugs at the irrationality of global security rituals, like a fever dream inspired by Radiohead lyrics (but set in this case to Maurice Ravel’s classical Boléro). The three-channel installation, displayed on a triangle of suspended screens, looks as though it should be hanging over a baggage claim. (It would feel right at home in the Hirshhorn’s lower-level media show, too.)
Between Jafa’s video artwork in the basement and Hamilton’s installation upstairs, new viewers may find enough handholds at the Hirshhorn to appreciate contemporary art even when it doesn’t involve lining up around the block for Infinity Mirrors or snapping glam guitarwork by Ragnar Kjartansson. The good news is that these new media shows are filled with essential experiments, not cynical draws—the kind that turn the curious into viewers for life, not members for the moment.

Helping Children Through a Parent's Deployment
It’s never easy for children when a parent must leave home for a military deployment. Though we may first think of the stress on school-aged children and teens, preschoolers and toddlers feel these effects, too. Even babies definitely notice and respond to the absence of a parent.
There is reason for concern. Research suggests that parental deployment, especially when it is long or frequent, can sometimes lead to children feeling insecurely attached, depressed, or anxious. Behavior problems may also occur. Problems may be worse when a parent becomes injured or is deployed to an active war zone, or when the at-home parent’s mental health is poor. Parents, too, find leaving and returning to be very hard; studies show that deployment is linked to higher parent stress.
The good news is that there are things families can do to help children adjust and cope with deployment. Research shows that families who actively prepare for deployment are able to handle this stressful process better. For instance, in a 2014 study of younger children, researchers found that military dads who took the time to prepare their kids for deployment felt less stress about parenting on their return.
Tips for Families with a Deploying Parent
Prepare children ahead of time
Surprisingly, some families don’t explain much to their kids about deployment, thinking that children can’t understand or process the facts. But kids do need to be prepared and included. Take time far ahead of the actual leave-taking to explain to kids and teens where the parent is going and why. Answer questions, while shielding children from excess detail about risk and danger. Allow children to be honest about their feelings. It may help to use a globe or map to show children where the parent is going. Special books, TV shows, and websites are also available to help children understand.
Also be sure to allow the child to take part in leave-taking rituals and have a chance to say goodbye. This holds true even for very young children—say the words, even if you’re not sure the child understands.
Continue communication, with awareness
Help your child stay connected to the deployed parent through sending drawings, photos, recorded messages, care packages, and cards. Where possible, the deployed parent can make an effort to send similar items (this may need to be arranged in advance). You might also consider fun ways of passing the time while the service member is gone, such as taking a picture every day to show him or her later, counting down the days on a paper chain or calendar, or removing an item from a jar every day to represent “one day closer to home.”
While today’s high-tech communication can be a great thing, it is also possible for it to create unnecessary anxiety. Children and teens may feel alarmed if video calls end suddenly, or if they show something they can’t understand or find frightening. Unless you are sure nothing troubling will happen, it may be better to stick to letters, emails, or communication methods that are more predictable.
Keep up with routines
After a parent leaves and when they return, it may be tempting to slack off on routines, habits, and discipline. This can actually make your child feel anxious and insecure. Stick to the habits and schedules you’ve been in as much as possible, and don’t bend the rules due to the service member’s departure or return. Also remember to present a “united front” when the service member returns: be sure you are on the same page!
Be aware of the potential for problems
Some sadness is completely normal, but if the child or teen does not begin to adjust after a few weeks, there may be reason for concern. In younger children, look for problems with sleep and eating, regression to younger behavior, clinginess, and new or worse fears. In older kids, you may see dropping grades, anger and withdrawal, physical complaints, or loss of interest in activities and hobbies.
If you are concerned, it may be helpful to try to increase the love, attention, and affection you give to your child. Also, be sure you encourage him or her to express their feelings. Take advantage of the resources available to you and consider child or family counseling when appropriate. Military OneSource offers a wealth of useful resources.
Make sure the at-home parent practices self-care.
The parent remaining at home during a deployment has a lot on his or her shoulders. Research shows that when this parent is stressed, depressed, anxious, children can suffer. Unfortunately, sometimes abuse also occurs. The good news is that there are many positive resources now available to military families, including childcare assistance, support groups, and more. Don’t forget to eat well, exercise, seek out fun and support, and get mental breaks.
Take time to reintegrate
Children and teens will have different reactions to a returning service member, depending on their age. Toddlers, babies, and preschoolers may feel shy and need time to “get to know” the parent again. School-aged children may feel a kind of hero worship. Teenagers may act resentful or ignore the returning parent. These reactions are normal. Go slowly, but return to normal routines and roles. Remember, too, that the service member will need time to feel at ease with the parenting role again, while the at-home parent will have to get used to “sharing” the role once more.
Parental deployment can be stressful, difficult, and hard to cope with for children and spouses alike, but it may also bring benefits. Families and researchers alike have found that some military children may respond to this challenge with an increased sense of responsibility and independence. This unique experience can actually lead to growth.
The following resources may be of help to families facing deployment:
Military Child—Helps provide educational opportunities to military children
United Through Reading—This unique program gives service members the opportunity to make videos of themselves reading books aloud to send to their children.
You and Your Military Hero—A book for children with a loved one in the service
Military Kids Connect—An online portal with activities, messageboards, articles and more for military kids.
Sesame Street for Military Families—Wonderful, child-friendly resources and activities for military kids from Sesame Street.

The holidays are coming, and Hood River is preparing for the local festivities.
All throughout the town there are going to be seasonal lights and decorations. Celebration and contests will also be taking place in the form of the annual Holiday Parade, and a Window Walk.
As it does every year, the Hood River Holiday Parade will roll down Oak Street at 6 p.m. Dec. 6.
Anybody can join the parade, but it has its rules. All entries must exclude any human Santas. However, fake Santa decorations are very welcome; the real Santa will be riding along behind the rest of the parade.
This parade, as the name suggests, is a means to promote the holiday spirit and to put people in the mood. It would also be greatly appreciated if there were no edgy themes going along with any entries to the parade.
When the event officially begins it will follow a path that leads from Seventh Street and ends in the Hood River News parking lot on State Street.
Along the way, some might also notice the decorated store fronts that are part of the Window Walk.
This year, throughout Hood River, many different stores will be decorating their storefronts in colorful ways. Each store that enters will cover their windows with paint, lights, and whatever decorations they can find to make their stores stand out.
It’s all part of a contest designed to get everybody in the holiday spirit. In order to enter as a participant store owners must email firstname.lastname@example.org before Dec. 4.
HRVHS junior Cameron Malone spent the afternoon of Nov. 7 as a job shadow at Hood River News.

With three new councilmembers at the Renton Council Retreat, much of the council conversation was around growing needs in the community that cannot be held off any longer, while financial forecasts showed revenue has to increase in the next budget cycle to keep existing programs afloat.
Administrative Services Administrator Jan Hawn told council at the retreat, which took place Feb. 28 and Feb. 29 at Maplewood Golf Course, that finance staff anticipate revenues exceeding expenditures this year, and that the city needs to start having “serious conversations” about financial stability, including increases revenues. The possibilities discussed, which will be further explored during the 2021-2022 biennial budget process, included small increases to the Business and Operation Tax (B&O tax) and removing or increasing the $4.7 million B&O tax cap for large companies in Renton, raising utility taxes or adding a solid waste tax and property taxes.
“In this economy, everyone has to chip in,” Council President Ruth Pérez said during the discussion.
Then various administrators discussed the opportunities and challenges facing their departments. Community and Economic Development (CED) Administrator Chip Vincent discussed a lack of available land for large redevelopment and unmotivated property owners as challenges, and that the department would benefit from its own capital budget to help support development— right now CED support things like private facade improvements through block grants.
During the CED discussion council talked about how to improve code compliance and the resources it would require of staff. They also discussed affordable housing, and the idea of an affordable housing levy for Renton in the near future related to pending state legislation House Bill 1406. It was also mentioned by staff that Renton is the only of 10 cities involved with the South King Housing and Homelessness Partners (SKHHP) coalition that has yet to pass a council ordinance designating a portion of that pending state funding to SKHHP.
The conversation on capital project funding continued with transportation. Public Works Department struggles to fund street maintenance and its transportation improvement projects. Staff told council at the retreat that at least an additional $2 million needed to be invested in street overlay each year. Pérez mentioned how retiring Public Works Administrator Gregg Zimmerman has been telling the council this for many years, and that in honor of him, “it’s time to make a decision.”
Council also established during the transportation discussion that council needs to establish exactly what Renton wants from Sound Transit, given Councilmember Ed Prince’s recent appointment to the Sound Transit Board of Directors and the future transit center.
The Community Services Committee has been backlogged on maintenance for city parks and facilities over the years, like Public Works, save for receiving a council-votes bond in late 2018 that supported major park improvements projects to help fill the gap. Now the department is looking at funding needs for Human Services division and continuing to update and manage aging city facilities. Compared to the average of the 14 cities that provide human services and homelessness resources, Renton’s funding is only about half of that ($5.71 per capita compared to the average $11.56).
The council also discussed the to-be relocated severe weather shelter and feeding program. Pérez said after asking for state funding from legislators this session for the new site, it was clear that they will need to provide more than these programs in the future. She said the location will also need to provide services that get people out of homelessness.
A few expressed concerns about providing resources that would draw people who are homeless to the city— they would need significant funding and staffing to handle more than the about 50 folks considered to be Renton’s chronically homeless. Both Councilmember Kim-Khánh Van and Councilmember Angelina Benedetti said that even if other resources become a part of the new location, there would still be a need for a feeding program and barrier-free weather shelter. Van pointed out that regional issues like this do not have borders, and it’s the government’s duty to support those in need, humanely. Benedetti said removing a feeding program would also likely increase emergency response needs for those people.
“As a city, we are going to suffer if we don’t (provide these services). The problem doesn’t go away,” Benedetti said at the second day of the council retreat.
When the Community Services Department conversation moved to neighborhood programs, council expressed a desire to be more involved in neighborhood gatherings and meeting the community where they are.
“City hall can become an ivory tower,” Councilmember Ed Prince said at the retreat. “We should not be expecting them to come to us, but we come to them.”
One city department that continues to work on community outreach is the Renton Police Department, as Police Chief Ed VanValey shared in a presentation at the council retreat. The department is facing staffing and resource challenges, but is doing better with recruitment than some neighboring jurisdictions. However, an increase in violent encounters has made an impact, VanValey said, including three officers leaving last year to pursue careers outside policing and an increase in officer injuries. The department also had three officer shootings last year.
While crime has gone down and police presence in downtown Renton has improved perception of safety, council discussed the need to continue resident and business outreach with officers.
The council also discussed equity and inclusion, sustainability and council policies at the retreat, which was two full days of discussion. Councilmember Valerie O’Halloran suggested, when discussing sustainability, the city revisit and update the 2011 Creating a Clean Economy Plan. The council also considered the work of the Renton African American Pastor’s Group and the Mayor’s Inclusion Task Force and what the next steps for those programs could be.

Several progressive groups in Oregon have demanded Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler’s resignation following the fatal shooting of a right-wing protester in the city over the weekend.
In a joint letter, left-wing organizations the Oregon chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, the Oregon Justice Resource Center, the Portland Democratic Socialists of America NextUp Action Fund, Portland’s Resistance and Popular Mobilization PDX said Wheeler has “not protected or supported” Portland’s residents.
The groups also called for the resignation of Police Chief Chuck Lovell following the Saturday shooting that killed a supporter of the conservative group Patriot Prayer, Aaron “Jay” Danielson.
Oregon-based Civil Rights and Community Organizations Call for Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler to Resign.
Press conference going live now: https://t.co/vxXntE8wGo pic.twitter.com/xWAbZWpnYN
— CAIR-Oregon (@CAIROregon) August 30, 2020
“What took place last night was inevitable given Mayor Wheeler’s repeated failure,” the letter said. “He has not protected or supported Portlanders. We do not have confidence in his ability to course-correct. He must resign.”
Bobbin Singh, executive director of the Oregon Justice Resource Center, demanded the resignations of local leaders.
“All of us from these organizations have been concerned about and predicted for the past several years now that someone would die in the streets of Portland because of actions committed by individuals because of these conditions that have been created,” Singh said during a virtual press conference.
“These conditions have been created—I want to be very clear—because there’s been a lack of leadership, a lack of vision, and a lack of willingness to confront the issues around racism, white supremacy, law enforcement oversight, accountability, and practices. And we can no longer move forward with the current leadership that’s in place in Portland.”
Danielson was identified by Joey Gibson, founder of the Patriot Prayer. He was reportedly wearing a Patriot Prayer hat when he was shot.
“We love Jay and he had such a huge heart,” Gibson said in a social media post. “God bless him and the life he lived.”
A GoFundMe fundraising page for Danielson says he was a Portland resident who went downtown to exercise his constitutional rights.
Patriot Prayer has regularly held demonstrations in Portland and Seattle, where they’ve faced opposition from Antifa, a far-left group, and other activists. Brawls between the groups aren’t uncommon.
An Antifa member was identified by his sister as a possible suspect in the shooting.
Mayor Wheeler on Sunday publicly refused federal aid from President Donald Trump to stop rioting in his city and alleged that the president is responsible for Saturday’s shooting. The president has blamed the Democratic mayor for allowing violence to escalate in the city.
After more than 90 consecutive days of demonstrations, arson incidents, looting, and unrest in Portland, Wheeler has come under increasing pressure to bring in federal resources.

Arguably the most popular Vietnamese culinary import since pho, the banh mi is vying for its proper place in the pantheon of great sandwiches. The city’s finest specimens are mostly concentrated on the east side of town, but thanks to an army of roaming gourmet food trucks, the Westside can now get its fill too.
Banh Mi Che & Cali
135 S San Gabriel Boulevard
San Gabriel, CA 91776
Banh Mi Che & Cali’s ongoing “buy two get one free” deal makes an already economical sandwich even more so. The top three to taste are the lemongrass-infused grilled pork (banh mi thit nuong), the cold cut and pate combo (banh mi dac biet), and the savory meatballs (banh mi xiu mai). All sandwiches are served on the shop’s distinctly buttery baguette.
My Dung Sandwich Shop
314 Ord Street
Los Angeles, CA 90012
The best approximation of a Saigon baguette can be found in the heart of Chinatown at Bánh Mì My Dung. The cramped little mom and pop shop churns out a crusty specimen that’s light on fluff. The fillings aren’t as memorable as the vehicle, but it’s hard to mind when the bread is this good.
Banh Mi My Tho
304 W Valley Boulevard
Alhambra, CA 91803
An unassuming deli in the midst of an Alhambra strip mall, the ambience here might be next to nil but it certainly claims a legion of devoted fans. Here, the flavors are bold and crave-worthy, especially on their banh mi sandwiches like the fried egg sandwich (banh mi trung op la) which is the perfect early morning pick-me-up.
8702 Valley Boulevard
Rosemead, CA 91770-1712
The tidy and orderly Mr. Baguette is the perfect place for banh mi newbies. With a picture menu that is accompanied by English text and an ambiance that is spiffy, the food here is one of the best in town. Make sure to try the pork banh mi for something special.
Saigon’s Bakery & Sandwiches
718 East Valley Boulevard
San Gabriel, CA 91776
Few delis manage to achieve the perfect ratio of sandwich filling to bread, but Saigon’s Bakery & Sandwiches makes a noble effort. The baguettes are baked in-house throughout the day and the meats and pates are seasoned with care. The banh mi bi (shredded pork and pork skin) is especially noteworthy.
1801 W Sunset Boulevard
Los Angeles, CA 90026
This Echo Park restaurant churns out a Mexican-Vietnamese banh mi that combines the best of both cuisines. The filling is comprised of carnitas laced with lemongras, along with traditional pickled daikon and carrots, jalapenos, and cilantro. The creation might seem strange at first, but one bite and you’ll be sold.

Ras Al Khaimah sets target of one million visitors by 2018
The Ras Al Khaimah Tourism Development Authority has announced that it is targeting one million visitors by the end of 2018. Tourism officials will be using ITB Berlin this month to connect with the international trade, strengthen existing partnerships, and showcase the lesser-known United Arab Emirate and its tourism offerings.
The Ras Al Khaimah Tourism Development Authority (RAK TDA) has set a goal of one million international visitors to the emirate by the end of 2018.
The CEO of the RAK TDA Haitham Mattar, said that they will be using ITB Berlin 2016to strengthen partnerships and connect with new international travel trade companies, while promoting the developments and tourism offerings of Ras Al Khaimah.
The tourism authority will unveil its new brand which included a complete overhaul of its logo and website, and improved state-of-the-art product and marketing strategies. Describing the importance of this strategy Mr Mattar explained:
'Tourism is a key pillar of Ras Al Khaimah's growth and development both as an emirate and as a tourist destination. Strategic partnerships between Ras Al Khaimah Tourism Development Authority and both national and international suppliers are a pre-requisite for Ras Al Khaimah."
The new marketing approach will highlight Ras Al Khaimah to a wider audience at the renowned travel trade event, while positioning the lesser-known emirate as a top destination for international and regional travellers.
The "Vision for 2018" campaign aims to bring one million visitors to the emirate by the end of 2018, and Mattar says Ras Al Khaimah is on target to reach their goal.
Year-on-year, the inbound market has steadily climbed, with domestic tourism making up 47.7 per cent of total visitor numbers to Ras Al Khaimah. The United Kingdom and India are the fastest growing international source markets, with visitor numbers increasing by 24.7 per cent and 80 per cent respectively.
Reflecting on the challenges and and importance of this initiative Mr Mattar commented:
'It is inevitable that changes in the market both in the Middle East and across different regions will have an impact on the wider tourism industry but we are in a strong position.
"The emirate benefits from attracting visitors from a wide range of source markets across the globe. As such, we are able to weather any changes in the market and decreases from a particular country or region are most often balanced by increases from other countries."
Ras Al Khaimah is one of seven states in the United Arab Emirates, and it is emerging as one of fastest-growing tourist destinations in the Middle East thanks to its stunning stretches of golden sandy beaches and the recent development of several new luxury hotels.
Situated in the north, bordering the Sultanate of Oman, it's a hotspot for adventure-lovers due its access to the beautiful mountains, red sandy desert, green plains, winding creeks, azure lagoons, lush golf courses, and 64 kilometres of coastline boasting an array of unspoilt white sandy beaches.

Radiation remedy is a confirmed strategy to destroying tumors. Nevertheless, it’s doable that it’d be capable of do much more sooner or later — particularly stimulate the immune system on the identical time and so combat most cancers much more intensively. The foundations for this have been laid by researchers led by TU Darmstadt. They’ve discovered that x-rays set off a calcium signaling cascade in cells of the immune system. The outcomes have now been revealed within the Journal of Common Physiology.
Ionizing radiation is efficiently utilized in most cancers remedy to kill tumor cells. Over the previous twenty years, it has develop into clear that remedy success might be elevated even additional if the radiation remedy is mixed with measures to stimulate the immune system. On this context, a brand new examine being carried out with biologists from TU Darmstadt and the GSI Helmholtz Heart for Heavy Ion Analysis plus researchers from the clinics of the Frankfurt and Homburg universities is attracting consideration. The researchers report within the Journal of Common Physiology that the specified stimulating impact on the immune system is triggered immediately when T-cells are additionally irradiated by x-rays. Dominique Tandl, researcher on the Division of Biology at TU Darmstadt, and her co-authors exhibit within the lately revealed examine that clinically related doses of x-rays in T lymphocytes set off a signaling cascade that’s typical of the immune response that begins with the discharge of the messenger substance calcium (Ca2+) from inner shops.
Activated by what is named retailer operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE), the focus of Ca2+ within the cells begins to oscillate at a vital frequency, which in flip results in the displacement (translocation) of a transcription issue from the cytoplasm into the cell nucleus. As soon as there, this transcription issue initiates gene expression, and the cell begins to make molecules which might be vital for the immune response, similar to cytokines. For the reason that irradiation of tumors invariably at all times impacts the blood cells within the goal tissue, drugs might make the most of the stimulating impact of x-rays on T lymphocytes. The researchers hope that their research will contribute to bettering most cancers remedy in the long run, as Professor Gerhard Thiel, head of the Membrane Biophysics Group on the Division of Biology at TU Darmstadt and co-author of the examine, says. “It might be doable to boost the killing impact of ionizing radiation on tumor cells and on the identical time to stimulate the immune system with the assistance of this radiation.”

Municipal insurer, CIRSA, declines to represent Snowmass Village in legal challenge to Base Village vesting approvals.
Snowmass’ four-minute coaster ride would be uphill of the Elk Camp Meadows lift, in the thick tree stand between lower Sandy Park and Gunner’s View.
New Snowmass Village Mayor Markey Butler started her reign by walking into the town council chambers audience and personally greeting the public. Later in the meeting, her council set another tone by denying developer Related Colorado’s request to accelerate the Base Village review.
Thrilled to be done with the bruising, often ugly, campaign, new mayor Markey Butler wants to dispense with the drama and dig into the big issues facing Snowmass Village, of which there are many.
New councilmember Bob Sirkus said the results of the election show that voters are saying they really want Base Village to be started again and for construction to begin.
The suit, filed Oct. 28 under the Colorado Rule of Civil Procedures 106, alleges that ex-parte communications by two Snowmass Village council members tainted the Oct. 6 vote that gives developer Related Colorado four more years of vesting for its Base Village project.
