I wonder if this is why Turkey tried to ban the use of popular social media platforms like Twitter.
A simple way to avoid federal investigation in the future, would be to report sexual assault to actual police, like you’re supposed to. To clarify: sexual assault and rape are illegal, no matter where you are. Maybe schools should teach that instead how to pass standardized tests.
Oh thank god. I have a bit of a problem with short-term memory.
Engage stealth mode!
Welp, after this, I’m putting on my shoes and going for a walk.
Hopefully this was one of their lasts gasps for breath as an organization.

Forbes released their annual billionaires list and the Charlotte Hornets owner is a part of the incoming class of 290. This is a record number of newcomers, but the most famous is undoubtedly his Airness. It has already been reported that Jordan is a billionaire, but that is now cemented with the unveiling of the list.
Jordan's career, sneakers, and brand in general keeps the iconic player financially soaring.
The most famous rookie on the billionaires list? Michael Jordan, arguably the greatest basketball player of all time and indisputably the best-paid athlete of all time. Most of his cash comes from Nike payouts on his iconic brand. The Jordan brand grossed an estimated $2.25 billion in 2013, earning his Airness some $90 million. But his most valuable asset is his stake in the Charlotte Hornets, worth more than $500 million.
If there was ever a time to "be like Mike," it has come.

I've been called a lot of things in my life...until now, "geriatric" is not one of them. But as a person on the tail end of the millennial generation, I guess that was exactly what I am. I'm coming up on 40 this fall and was born in 1981 and as such, there is a new label that is floating around, or at least new to me, for those of us born between 1980 and 1985....geriatric millennial.
According to an article by the New York Post, "Author Erica Dhawan coined the term to describe people born in the early 1980s, who are considered too old to be a regular millennial but still younger than any Gen Xers. This generationally homeless age group is often referred to as “cuspers” or “xenial.”

Disclaimer: I don’t own any of the shows involved or any of the characters, and I’m not making any money out of them, I’m just doing this for the love of the shows and the love of Richie. All rights and ownership belong to whoever actually owns them, I’m just having a party in their flat and promise to clean up after myself.
Warning: This story contains non-graphic same sex relationships, so don’t read it if that sort of thing offends. There’s also the occasional bit of bad language, but I try to keep it to a minimum (except when Spike’s around).
Non-explicit reference to extended torture.
For those late to the party…
Richie is back from the dead and he and Duncan have become lovers. Daniel Jackson, Jack Harkness and Xander Harris are all new Immortals and Jack O’Neill is a ROG named Angus McNeill. They have discovered that there are several Goa’ulds on Earth who have taken Immortals as hosts. Anyone who takes the head of one of these inherits the genetic memory of the Goa’uld along with the Quickening. Daniel, Methos and Xander have all recently taken the head of one and it was discovered that Richie and Duncan also did at some point in the past. They have found out that there are at least four more, and discovered that they all work for governments, two in the US. Daniel was captured and then rescued but Mitchell is badly injured and Gwen is comatose. Jack Harkness is angry and is about to give a lesson in pain.
Phew! Got that? Then on with the show…13. Lost and Found
They chased Jack into the warehouse and discovered him with his blade pushed against the neck of one of the two captives so hard that he was drawing blood.
“Wake up and talk to me bastard.” They were all shocked and a little frightened by this darkness in Jack, except for the small part of Methos that would always remain Death. He was turned on by this behaviour in a way he hadn’t been since Kronos, in a way that Methos wasn’t about to admit to himself, let alone anyone else. But the mood Jack was in, he would take their heads before they got any answers and that was no use to them. He walked up to Jack and gently pulled his arm down.
“You won’t get any answers from them yet lover. They’re both still dead. Go outside now. Your team needs you.” Jack resisted him for a moment then, silently, he capitulated and in a daze walked back outside. Methos had never seen him look so utterly dejected and lost. Sam and Teal’c also went out to deal with the medics and back-up when they arrived, leaving O’Neill, Daniel, Methos, Angel, Spike, Giles, Richie and Amanda.
“Daniel, I don’t think you want to be here for this.” O’Neill said, but Daniel shook his head.
“No, these guys made me suffer for days, took pride in how good they are at torture, I have absolutely no qualms about watching them suffer. I’d consider it karma. The one on the left called himself Mr Smith, the other is Neil Anker, Niankhkhnum is his real name.” As they watched, Mr Smith came back and his eyes flashed as he did so. Amanda let out a little gasp.
“His eyes just glowed.” She whispered.
“Well, dur.” Richie whispered back, “We told you they were aliens.”
“Oh.” Amanda was momentarily speechless, a fact noted by both Richie and Methos. They might have been in a serious situation, but some things were important.
Shortly Mr Anker joined them back in the world of the living. All the Immortals drew their swords, and Spike and Angel both put on their game faces as Methos stepped forward.
“Ah, Mr. Smith, Mr. Anker, so glad you’ve joined us.” The Goa’ulds’ eyes flashed at him, “We have some questions for you, and you are going to answer them truthfully and as fully as possible. We have in this room five of the most viciously skilled interrogators and torturers the world will ever know.” Methos had slipped into that cool, silky tone that Death always favoured, and the others in the room who knew him were chilled by his detachment. “Now, Doctor Jackson has told me that you are quite skilled yourselves, so I’m sure you’ll be suitably impressed when I tell you that you are in the presence of William the Bloody, Angelus and…me.” He placed such emphasis on this final word that it was practically dripping with icicles.
“Who are you?” Smith spat arrogantly. Methos smiled, a big, wide, crocodile smile, leaned forward and whispered just loud enough for both Goa’uld to hear.
Except for O’Neill the others in the room had no idea what Methos whispered, but they were suitably impressed as the two Goa’uld turned a whiter shade of pale. Amanda and Richie looked at each other darkly, wondering just what the hell the old man was hiding. He turned back to them, the Death persona temporarily cloaked again by Adam Pierson and asked,
“So who wants to go first?”
Jack wanted to rush back inside as the screams began, but now he had calmed down; he knew he was better off outside with his team. Besides, he thought darkly, the old man has had more practise at that sort of thing than I have.
But his team weren’t here any more. Gwen had been taken to Cheyenne Mountain by the medical team that arrived shortly after he came outside. Tosh had gone with her, not wanting her to be alone, and Owen had gone to accompany his patients, claiming not to trust ‘bloody Americans’ though Jack figured it was a lot more to do with his feelings for Gwen. Only he and Ianto remained, going over the dead looking for clues to their identities and affiliations, a small task that could be left to others but one that kept their minds from the still form of their fallen friend. Ianto was kneeling down and Jack walked over to him and placed a comforting hand on his shoulder. He felt a stifled sob under his hand, so he knelt beside him and pulled Ianto into a hug. Ianto pulled back and assessed Jack.
“I’m sorry sir.”
“For being unprofessional.” Jack laughed humourlessly.
“After everything we’ve been through… now you’re worried about professionalism?” Ianto smiled. Jack caressed his cheek and leaned in to kiss him, but Ianto pulled back.
“No. Not here, not now. Please.” Jack nodded and stood up. “I just can’t. Not now.”
“I understand. It’s fine. No harm, no foul.” Jack walked away round the building, leaving Ianto alone.
He walked back to the front of the building and was met by Duncan, Joe, Xander and Sam. He nodded towards the door.
“Going in?” he asked. The others shook their heads.
“There’s nothing we can add, and opening the door might break the mood.” Duncan said sagely. Jack could tell from his tone that, despite his Boy Scout demeanour that Methos always complained about, the Highlander had obviously taken part in an interrogation or two over the centuries. He deferred to the wisdom of age in this instance and the four stood vigil outside, joined a few minutes later by a silent and thoughtful Ianto.
“So Mr. Smith, Mr. Anker, do you feel like talking yet?” Methos asked, the civility of his words cloaking the pain Giles had just inflicted upon them, their bloodstained shirts the only evidence of already healed wounds. Methos was impressed by Giles’ performance, he’d heard from Joe of his Ripper days, but he had no idea a mortal could be so scholarly and yet so skilled in brutality.
Smith’s eyes flashed in defiance,
“You will get nothing from us.”
“No, see that’s where you’re wrong.” Methos’ tone implied a light, casual conversation about the weather, “You will tell us everything we need to know. It’s just a case of when.”
“You will all die.” Anker said, a satisfied smile spreading across his face.
“Brave words, and terrifying.” Methos said, looking to the others for confirmation, smiling, “At least they would be if we hadn’t already despatched your reinforcements and surrounded the building with several units from the SGC.” The smile was wiped from Anker’s face, but it was Smith who spoke,
“So, what answers let us keep our heads?” Before Methos could answer, Daniel stepped forward, with a cold humourless smile, and answered him,
“Oh wrong answer, Mr. Smith. You see no matter what answer you give us, you are both Goa’uld, and for that you have to lose your heads.” Both Richie and O’Neill were chilled to see this side of Daniel, Richie because he had never seen it before; O’Neill because he had seen it and it usually ended with dead Goa’uld. Not that he had a problem with that per se, but he knew killing never sat well with Daniel, even Goa’uld.
“Now,” Methos picked up the interrogation again, “Just why exactly did you take Immortal hosts?” Smith laughed.
“We aren’t interested in your precious Game, if that’s what you mean. Our interests are far more important.”
“Oh really.” O’Neill said, “Then why don’t you tell us? I know how you Goa’uld love to show off. Or has hiding out here all these millennia softened your egos?”
“You have no idea, any of you. When he returns…” Anker began, but was shouted down by Smith,
“Kri!” Daniel and O’Neill looked at each other and stepped forward.
“He?” asked O’Neill, “He who? Ra?”
“Dead I’m afraid.” Daniel informed the Goa’uld.
“Apophis?” asked O’Neill.
“Also dead.” Daniel said amicably, and began counting off dead Goa’uld on his fingers. “As is Hathor, Yu, Seth, Anubis, well most of the System Lords actually.” This didn’t have the desired effect on the Goa’uld, who were actually smiling, Smith was grinning broadly, and said,
“This serves our purpose well. They would only have interfered in our plans and nothing can stop us now.”
“Oh please,” interrupted O’Neill, who was in his patented ‘Jack O’Neill taunts the Goa’uld’ mode, “I can’t stand to listen to another ‘we’re gods and we will rule the universe’ speech. They usually end in us killing the Goa’uld in question, so just can it.”
“Oh, but we are not gods. How could we claim to be in the presence of Immortals? No, we do not seek to rule, but to serve our Lord, one who is a god. One perfect in an imperfect universe, and he shall remake the universe in his own image. Kill us; you cannot stop what has already begun. Our Lord shall rise and purify the universe.”
They were all concerned and made more than a little curious by this enigmatic statement, but it was Giles who voiced the question on all their minds.
“Who, who is your Lord, what is his name?”
“He has no name that may be spoken; he is known as the Emperor.” They all looked at each other, more confused than ever.
“Spike, Angel, see what more information you can get from our friends here about the resurrection of their ‘Emperor’.” Methos instructed as he and the others walked towards the door. They walked out into the night to discuss what they had learned.
They found the others and briefed them on what had been said inside. At the mention of the Emperor, a shadow passed over Jack’s face.
“The Emperor? That’s what they called him?”
“Yes,” Giles said, “Why, do you think you know who he might be?”
“No. It can’t be. I mean it’s impossible.” Jack looked confused and headed back into the warehouse at a run. The others all looked at each other and gave a shrug before following.
“This Emperor of yours,” Jack called out across the warehouse, “What does he look like?” Mr Smith glared at him before answering,
“We have not gazed upon his countenance. He communicated to us from before time began, in the dark space before the universe existed.”
“I see, and so how did he communicate to you?”
“He spoke to us through Goa’uld communication devices.”
“So how did you know he was a god?” Daniel asked, “I mean, pretending to be one is what Goa’uld do all the time. How did he prove it to you?”
“A true god does not need to prove his existence. But he gave us information about the future. He told us of Immortals and of how to adapt our technology to use them as hosts. He told us about the uprising against Ra so we might hide in safety until we could find Immortal hosts. He told us to wait through the ages, biding our time until the moment of his return was at hand.”
“And how would you know when that was?” Jack asked them.
“He sent us signs. Lo, though the Chappa’ai shall be uncovered, the Goa’uld shall not return to this world for it is protected by the Emperor. And yet, though a race of metal insects shall come forth to devour that world, they shall not succeed, for it is protected by the Emperor.”
“Um, some would say that it was SG-1 and the Asgaard who kicked Goa’uld and Replicator butt.” interjected O’Neill, but Smith by this point could not or would not be interrupted,
“When the time is on hand, an army of his children shall come forth in a tide to purify the world, then shall disappear again until he is ready. Then a great tear in the world shall open the doorway and he shall return.”
“The rift.” Ianto said, barely audible. Jack nodded then turned to Smith again,
“Go back to the last part. The army of his children? When did they come?”
“Last year. They came to cleanse the earth in a tide of steel. You cannot stop him, he will return.” Jack stood up, white as a sheet.
“Can we bloody well kill them now? This ponce is starting to do my head in.” Spike said. Methos nodded and Spike and Angel snapped Smith and Anker’s necks. Later they would be killed permanently, once there were no witnesses about, and they might provide more information in the meantime. They all turned to Jack.
“You know what he was talking about don’t you?” O’Neill asked. Jack nodded.
“I’m afraid I do and if I’m right then the Earth is in big trouble. If they meant who I think they meant, then they are worse than the Goa’uld, the Ori and the Replicators put together.”
“I assume that’s bad.” Quipped Richie, but with no real humour.
“It’s bad alright. It’s the end of everything.”
“Who, Jack? Who are they talking about?” Methos demanded.
“The Daleks. The Emperor of the Daleks.”
“The Daleks?” asked O’Neill, “Those things that look like pepper pots with sink plungers on the front? That arrived with the Cybermen and killed all those people?”
“The Battle of Canary Wharf.” Ianto said coldly, “The annihilation of Torchwood One.” Jack lay a comforting hand on Ianto’s shoulder, who stared resolutely forward. “Yes, those Daleks.” Ianto confirmed.
“But they were all defeated weren’t they?” Sam asked. “The Cybermen and the Daleks were sent back to wherever they came from?”
“Yes they were.” Jack said, “But the Daleks have a real nasty habit of popping up when you expect them to be extinct.” A shadow passed over his face, but then was gone again. “Ianto, get your laptop and start accessing the Torchwood files. There must be a way to contact him in there. Finding him has been part of our mandate for a hundred years, they must have found something.”
“Finding who?” Richie asked, but the answer came from an unexpected place,
“The Doctor.” Methos answered. They all turned to stare at Methos, who shrugged his shoulders and grinned.
“The Doctor has defeated the Daleks on several occasions.” Ianto provided, “If anyone can stop the Emperor, he can. I’ll start accessing the files right away.”
“In the meantime, I suggest we try and get more answers from our friends inside about the time and location of the Emperor’s arrival.” Suggested Giles, and after a short discussion, he Spike and Angel went back inside. Methos drew Jack to one side and said,
“I know a way to contact the Doctor. After the last time, in Cardiff, he said that if I ever needed him… Oh this is ridiculous, I can’t even believe I’m about to say this. He said if I ever needed him then all I had to do was whistle.”
“Whistle?” Jack said incredulously, “I know he’s pretty amazing but how will he hear a whistle?”
“I don’t bloody know, but that’s what he said. Something about me having been in the TARDIS. I said it was bloody stupid, that’s why I’m only telling you.”
“Well, what have we got to lose? Maybe if we both do it, after three; one…two…three!” They both let out a loud whistle as though they were hailing a cab. The others all span round and stared at them, but they both just stood there, with bated breath, waiting…
“What was…” Richie began but was shushed by Methos. They waited for a few moments more, before letting out the breaths they’d been holding without even realising.
“I told you it would never work, now we just look like…” Methos stopped mid flow as Jack began to grin and raised a hand. Just on the edge of hearing was a growing, and very familiar, thrum. “Well, I’ll be buggered.” Methos exclaimed, “It worked!”The L World Will Continue in Part 14: Late Arrivals

Community - now in paperback
By: Henri Nouwen
“What an enormous, important spiritual journey it is when we discover that where our healing begins is where joy is rooted. Not in where you are different from people but in where you are the same.”
“Essays, by turns inspiring, challenging, and sometimes achingly human, on one of the most important topics of our age—by one of our age’s most important spiritual masters.”—James Martin, SJ, author, Learning to Pray
“Community presents ten chapters that are at the heart of the Gospel! Solitude and silence are the anchors that stabilize. Action for justice is the result. But the heart of Community revealed by Nouwen is that it is our similarities that led us to compassion and oneness. This message is good news for these challenging and divided times.”—Simone Campbell, SSS, author, Hunger for Hope: Prophetic Communities, Contemplation, and the Common Good.
Community was one of Nouwen’s constant and central themes, a subject on which his thinking evolved and matured, especially after his experience as part of the L’Arche community in the last years of his life. This book, drawing on previously unpublished material as well as articles written over many years, provides a complete picture of his understanding of community, and why he felt it to be such a necessary and integral part of the spiritual life.
Henri J. M. Nouwen, a Dutch priest who spent most of his life in North America before his death in 1996, is widely regarded as one of the most influential spiritual teachers of our time. After teaching at several prestigious universities, he accepted an invitation to serve as chaplain to the L’Arche Daybreak Community in Richmond Hills, Ontario, his home for the last ten years of his life. His many books include Adam: God’s Beloved, With Burning Hearts: A Meditation on the Eucharistic Life, and Ukraine Diary.

Concerned West Ironton Parents pass flyers at the polls
Voters at some Ironton city polling places got something Tuesday they may not have been expecting:
A group of West Ironton Elementary school parents passed out the leaflets explaining their opposition to a proposal to close their grade school.
Laura Taylor is a West Ironton parent and was involved in preparing and distributing the flyer. She said the flyers were meant to let people know the negative impact the closing would have on education, and why people need to let their voices be heard.
&uot;I’ve had some people say to me that I shouldn’t worry about this. But they don’t understand how much we would be giving up if they close our school,&uot; Taylor said. &uot;People don’t realize how important this is.&uot;
The proposal calls for West Ironton to be closed, with the city’s kindergarten and first grade students housed at Whitwell Elementary.
There would be six classes for each grade level.
Second and third graders would be sent to Kingsbury Elementary. There would be six classes each for second and third grade, one room for the learning disabled (LD) class and one for the disabled handicapped (DH) students.
This reconfiguration would eliminate one DH and one LD class now offered.
West Ironton parents also fear there would not be room for the school’s computer lab at Whitwell.
Taylor said some concerned parents have told her if the elementary schools are reconfigured, they will take their children out of the city system and enroll them at other districts, because they fear the quality of education will be so severely affected.
Taylor said she understands that the board may face a fiscal deficit next year, but a recent audit shows the system will finish this year in the black.
This should give the board enough time to pursue other avenues of saving money that would not have so dramatic an impact on education.
&uot;There have to be other options to closing this school,&uot; Taylor said. &uot;They say it’s going to save money, but do they understand how it’s going to affect education? They’re looking at the dollar side of this. They’re not looking at the educational side.&uot;
She said she fears some board members have made up their minds already, regardless of what the parents say. She still intends to let her voice be heard, and other parents plan to do the same.
&uot;You’ve got to get out and let your voice be heard,&uot; Taylor said. &uot;If you don’t let your voice be heard, then who is to blame for what happens?&uot;
The school board meets at 6 p.m.tonight at board offices. By Teresa Moore

Abstract: Advanced HF (heart failure) is associated with altered substrate metabolism. Whether modification of substrate use improves the course of HF remains unknown. The antihyperglycaemic drug MET (metformin) affects substrate metabolism, and its use might be associated with improved outcome in diabetic HF. The aim of the present study was to examine whether MET would improve cardiac function and survival also in non-diabetic HF. Volume-overload HF was induced in male Wistar rats by creating ACF (aortocaval fistula). Animals were randomized to placebo/MET (300 mg·kg(-1) of body weight·day(-1), 0.5% in food) groups and underwent assessment of metabolism, cardiovascular and mitochondrial functions (n=6-12/group) in advanced HF stage (week 21). A separate cohort served for survival analysis (n=10-90/group). The ACF group had marked cardiac hypertrophy, increased LVEDP (left ventricular end-diastolic pressure) and lung weight confirming decompensated HF, increased circulating NEFAs (non-esterified 'free' fatty acids), intra-abdominal fat depletion, lower glycogen synthesis in the skeletal muscle (diaphragm), lower myocardial triacylglycerol (triglyceride) content and attenuated myocardial (14)C-glucose and (14)C-palmitate oxidation, but preserved mitochondrial respiratory function, glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity. MET therapy normalized serum NEFAs, decreased myocardial glucose oxidation, increased myocardial palmitate oxidation, but it had no effect on myocardial gene expression, AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase) signalling, ATP level, mitochondrial respiration, cardiac morphology, function and long-term survival, despite reaching therapeutic serum levels (2.2±0.7 μg/ml). In conclusion, MET-induced enhancement of myocardial fatty acid oxidation had a neutral effect on cardiac function and survival. Recently reported cardioprotective effects of MET may not be universal to all forms of HF and may require AMPK activation or ATP depletion. No increase in mortality on MET supports its safe use in diabetic HF.

Our professional staff consists of physicians, registered nurses, and clinical research professionals. Our medical professionals have extensive experience in evaluating investigational medications and treatment procedures.
Before you are evaluated as a research participant, we will provide you with an approved Informed Consent Form (ICF) which you must read, understand, and sign before enrolling. The ICF outlines all procedures you will need to go through and all known risks and side effects of the investigational medication. Please read it carefully and ask all questions you might have.
Additionally, both FDA (www.fda.gov) and National Institute of Health (www.ClinicalTrials.gov ) maintain databases of clinical trials conducted in the US. All trials conducted by BCT are registered with FDA. If you need help finding information about a trial that you’d like to learn about, please do not hesitate to ask our staff.
In most studies, participants receive monetary compensation for time and travel required to participate in the study. The amount of compensation is set by pharma companies and is approved by Institutional Review Boards (IRBs). The exact amount you will receive per visit will be shown in the Informed Consent Form. Additionally, in some studies you may be offered free transportation to and from appointments, free meals, and free childcare at the time of your visits.
Before conducting a clinical trial, pharmaceutical companies must obtain approval from the FDA to ensure that the investigational medication is appropriate to give to people. Additionally, all study procedures are reviewed by an independent Investigational Review Board (IRB) before they are allowed to be administered. All this is done to ensure that the study is ethical and that the risks are as low as possible. However, since the study participants are among the first to try the investigational medication, the risk of unanticipated side effects does exist. This is why the health of the people participating in the trials is continuously monitored and any serious side effects experienced by any of the people in the trial are promptly investigated. If necessary, corrective actions, including termination of the trial, are taken.
When participating in a trial, please be attentive to your health and do report any unusual changes in your condition you may experience.
Different studies have different enrollment requirements. Some studies are open only to healthy adults, other look for people with specific medical conditions, for instance, anxiety, depression, migraines, sexual dysfunction, etc. To determine whether you can enroll, we will ask several questions about your current health, your medical condition, and the medications you are taking. The fastest way to do it is to fill out our online questionnaire. If you meet the study requirements, we will schedule a call or an appointment for you to be evaluated by our staff.
Below is the typical process for a clinical trial:
- Screening interview – Information will be taken concerning your age, medical history, medications, and other preliminary questions to make sure you meet the study requirements
- Informed consent – You will receive materials that clearly explain the nature of the study and how you will participate. Our research staff will tell you of any known risks or potential side effects. It is very important that you ask questions and read the consent form carefully. Please ask any questions you might have to fully understand the risks and benefits of your participation
- Assessments and medication – Once you are enrolled in a study, you may have a study-related physical exam, receive the study medications, do laboratory tests, and other study procedures. During the course of the study, research team members will meet with you regularly to monitor your progress.
Of course. Your participation in a research study is entirely voluntary, and you may withdraw from participation at anytime and for any reason. During your screening visit and throughout the study, we will completely explain the risks and benefits of your study. If you change your mind, you may withdraw.
You can register to be part of our volunteer database here and we will get in touch with you if you may qualify for a study.
Never. Any information you provide as a research participant is strictly confidential. It will not be sold and will be used only for the purposes of the research study.
Prior to Enrollment:
- You have a right to be fully informed about potential benefits and risks of the trial
- You have a right to be fully informed about the trial plan, i.e., number and duration of the visits, study procedures, etc.
- You have a right to voice any concerns and ask any questions you might have about any aspect of the trial
- You have a right to withdraw from the trial any time
- You have a right to be treated with respect and attention
- You have a right for compensation as indicated in the ICF

Brookside Battles Bed Bugs
Tuesday, January 10, 2012
For nearly a year, the property manager of the Brookside
Apartments has been in a battle against bedbugs - similar to much
of the country.
After becoming the manager last year at the 77-unit apartment
complex, located at 1602 Brookside Drive, Sidney Jimenez said
battling bedbugs has been a recurring theme. Pest inspectors
confirmed five units with bedbugs within the past month, with a few
units pending inspections, or re-inspections, this week.
"Like a lot of apartments in the area, we have had some degree
of bedbugs," he said. "We have been very diligent in addressing the
issue. But our issue for the year has been the breakdown of
communication between tenants to management about the problem."
Bedbugs feed on human blood, and are nocturnal insects that
typically hide in cracks and crevices during the daytime. According
to the National Pest Management Association, one in five Americans
has had a bedbug infestation in their home or knows someone who has
encountered bedbugs at home or in a hotel.
Bedbug infestations have increased more than 500 percent in the
last few years on a nationwide level, from single-family homes to
college dormitories and apartment complexes, according to the
"We have definitely tried to attack this from every angle," Mr.
Jimenez said, adding that pest control inspectors visit the
apartment complex at least once a month for routine inspections.
"Last year we had about 12 confirmed cases in the south building,
and we've hired two people as needed to help people get ready for
Of the two buildings in the complex, the problem has remained in
the south building. Last spring, the complex treated 24 units,
including hallways and the laundry room. Brookside Apartments are
located just north of Vatterott College.
"If you have bedbugs, you will see little marks, like sharpie
marks, near seams of the mattress. They are brought in from other
places and attach to clothing, laundry or luggage," said Thomas
Beavers, environmentalist public health specialist with the City of
St. Joseph Health Department. "I get calls on a daily basis asking
about bedbugs, but it's more on an informative level, wanting to
know how to spot them."
Mr. Beavers said while there is no state law mandating the city
health department to check for bedbugs in private residences, a
local pest control company can confirm and extinguish bedbugs. Mr.
Jimenez estimated a cost of $350 per inspection, plus an additional
$6,000 assisting tenants in moving and other issues.
"(Bedbugs) are not a health risk; they do not carry diseases and
their bites aren't toxic," Mr. Beavers said. "They are just a
If a unit has confirmed bedbugs, residents must get a
professional exterminator for the best success, Mr. Beavers
"From this point on, if you have a confirmed (case) of bedbugs
by the pest inspector, you have a week to be prepared and ready,"
Mr. Jimenez said. "If you're not ready, I'm going to evict you.
It's just that simple."
Mr. Jimenez said although landlords or property managers are not
required to pay for bedbug extermination, the health and safety of
Brookside Apartment tenants are his largest concern. Despite the
cost out of his own pocket, he vowed to end this battle.
"We are real aggressive as we have approached this. We're
spending a lot of money and a lot of time combating this issue," he
said. "If tenants let us know what's going on, we can stop this
before it gets too big."

Giotto Bell Tower & The Marino Marini Museum
As you make your vacation itinerary plans this November, here are a few dates you need to remember.
The Giotto Bell Tower, located next to the Duomo and one of the five elements included in the OPA pass, will be closed to visitors for ordinary maintenance from the Monday the 13th of November till Friday the 17th of November, 2017. Of course, it will always be visible for fabulous photos – you just won’t be able to climb up the 414 steps to the very top.
However, if what you are looking for is a panorama from above (maybe without all those steps) then check out one of these options where you can get a sunset view and a twilight apertivio as well. 😉
Contemporary Art Meets a Classical Architect
The Marino Marini Museum in Florence will be closed from the 6th of November until the spring of 2018 for the renovation of the air conditioning system. It will be possible to visit the Museum and the Cappella Rucellai in groups only and only upon request.
However, for those who are interested in seeing work by Marino Marini, you can head over to Pistoia and also have a look at the on going special exhibition: “Miró e Marino. I colori del Mediterraneo” open until the 7th of January and the exhibition MARINO MARINI. PASSIONI VISIVE.
See more exhibitions in Tuscany
But even with these closures there are still lots of things open in Florence, check out the Visit Florence exhibition highlights, for the latest events in the month of December and the beginning of the new year.

Option A the best option
City Council has placed Question 2D on the November ballot. It asks for community preference for the future location of new city offices to supplement existing offices in the City Hall.
As co-chairs of Citizens for Option A we feel strongly that purchasing space directly across Hopkins Avenue from the current City Hall is the much superior location for additional office space for Aspen’s municipal government. Option A provides the most efficient configuration for the daily operations of city government. Both options retain the City Hall as the primary location of city government.
Please consider the following reasons to vote for Option A:
1. Option A provides a consolidated central location for city offices in our downtown core directly across Hopkins from the current City Hall just 50 feet away. The Option A Hopkins location will be far more efficient for both citizens and city staff by eliminating the two-block trek across Main Street to the Option B location.
2. Option A honors the two-story height limit City Council enacted for the downtown core and most of Main and North Mill streets resulting in the city playing by the same rules for mass and scale that it imposes on the private sector. Option B proposes a three-story building looming over Rio Grande Park on land the government exempted from the two-story height limits.
3. Option A preserves our opportunity to provide for other needed public benefiting facilities such as affordable housing on the Rio Grande site where Option B simply builds more new offices.
4. Option A cost is a firm, committed contract. The Option B cost is only an estimate with no commitment as to the actual final cost. And we all know the history of prior city cost estimates.
We hope you will join us in honoring the legacy of keeping Aspen’s government in the heart of our downtown.
Please vote and select Option A on Question 2D.
Bill Stirling and Howie Mallory
Co-chairs, Citizens for Option A

As the infection of pain takes over.
I’m screaming to an empty room.
In it lays all my fears.
My eyes are filled with parasites.
Seeing nothing but black.
Which leaks it’s way into my heart.
Trembling fingers, and sweaty palms.
Bugs clinging to my hair.
Nesting in my skin.
I have been contaminated.
By the sins of others.
Nobody can harm me now.
I have been contaminated
By the whispers of the heartless.
Reaching forth for some light.
It only seems to burn my skin.
My right eye has been removed.
And left with a hole.
Head spinning round’ and round.
Sitting in this dirty contaminated room.
A perfect fit for me.

I still carry pieces of your cross on my back and
lilies were your favorite flower
Those last three months-
A silent drive home from the mall
purse full of stolen makeup
Dinners with my family where no one
bothered to make the conversion
Endless hours spent looking at paint samples
and I was smart to not buy the brushes
The line at the liquor store blended
with the lines on the road
At the same time with you
Then it was summer and you talked me into a country drive. We stopped on the side of the road to watch a cow giving birth in the center of a pasture. But, the calf never rose to its wobbly legs or felt the heat of the Indian summer….it never tasted dandelions.
The mother stood by the calf’s body
long past nightfall
and I stood by yours
long after that

he cares for you, so you cut him off and say,

“well, yeah, minus those.”
“then you don’t know me at all.”
and then you tell him,
i love you. but you don’t use those words
because those are taboo. are jinxed.
are knock on wood three times fast.
instead you press him in a hug and say,
i’m sorry, knowing he won’t understand
that this is the first time you ever cared for something
enough to try and fix it after you hurt it.
you hope he doesn’t ever realize what you’re saying
and his response will always be ‘what for?’ because
if he figures out he loves you nothing changes.
he’s just going to be in love with a corpse, a memory,

Everyone's gaze turned to the stage.
Then, I saw you there, playing.
You wore dark shades
As if you're trying to hide your face.
But I was amazed,
On how you play the bass.
I'm wishing you would look my way
And would notice me.
I wish I'd get to know you

I know this is impossible.
You're a star and I'm just a no one.
I wish you'll for more

Denied my right to rest after trekking through life,
Life that did me well yet still denied.
Denied I have been my love's burning desire,
Desire eternally sought by I,

Through the blind fog and shadow's kept,
Kept me at bay, no salvation.
Salvation is a denied dream,
Dream that I once sought,
Sought your burning love and skin's touch;
Touch my soul and lock me away no more,

Oh how many nights did I give myself to you,
You who obsess me like a curse,
Curse that pain has given me to use;
Use against you and I together,
Together ever-denied desire!
My desire for you lasts beyond the grave,
Grave neither Death nor anyone shall stand in my way,
Way too long has this meddlesome chase gone on;
On way too long,

A voice of an angel sent from Heaven.

Her leaving turns out to be His biggest fear.
Her voice is everything He wants,
It's what He breathes, He's happy for once.
He hopes with Her for that happy ending,
Their love will always be transcending.

To wander with countless hours,

There's always darkness to show the way.
Its hunger that opened my eyes to reality,
Not the abstinence of my desires,
This is perpetual, never ending,
Our freedom,We each our own gods of emptiness.
Mocking reality with the unfathomable perfect,
Nothing experienced or spoken is such a word,
Life itself, is the only gift given,
To hold truth in my arms, not perfection, is happiness.

Left in the world on your own.
To fend for yourself, find your smile,
Yes, find it, it's been quite awhile.
You can't breathe, you're being suffocated,
The world is too much to bear, you need to be relocated.
Another place, smaller, much smaller,
You can do it, there, you'll feel so much taller.
Gain your confidence, no it's been shattered, just hide,
One day you'll be able to say that you have your pride.
Pride beyond compare, you can do anything,
Is doing anything the right thing?
The kids shouting "YOLO," adults shouting "Carpe Diem!"
Wishing you could do the same, begging, pleading.
You can, dig deep, I know you can,
You were once stronger, once a better man.
Don't let them take you over, don't you dare concede,
Is this what you want? Is this what you need?
No, this is not what I want.
Who are you to say you're the one to flaunt?
It's my turn, you've played long enough,
I know this is hard, for me it is rough.
I have to put you away, it's time to go,

Locked up in her rather crackling ribs; a cage nonetheless

Something told you to help,

What would the others say?
The ones who called her a freak.
They may taunt or shun you,
so you choose not to speak.
Then she decides to leave.
Because no one wants her here.
You'll never see her cry.
She'll never shed another tear.

Under thick canvas of black;
Muttering bittersweet nothings at the stars,
Who do not deign to answer back.

Flesh torn from gnawed bone
You really thought you were going home?
Uncontrollable cannibalistic instinct
Limitless desire; the funeral pyre
It’s what you were meant for
It’s what you will die for
Psychotic self obsession
Ripping, tearing mindless gore
You’ll never forget what you saw
A mockery of a failed existence
Crumbles to ash with the sands of time
Desperate to retain possession
Of useless pointless hopeless dreams
Feeling the grip tightening
Never fading, always hiding
Waiting for vulnerability, the time to strike
A soulless depiction of life once lived
A sculptor’s interpretation
Of thoughts once had
Hear it sputter painful words
Useless pitiful spineless worm
You’ll never learn
This world owes you nothing
And no one cares

Please just go, just disappear.

Go back to the one You previously haunted.
You have overcome My fortress, My body,
Now You sit, waiting in My sanctioned lobby.
Ready to strike, to cause great fear,
Your presence is known, You made it quite clear.
You haven't left, You never did,
You stayed and made it morbid.
I hate You, I wish You'd leave,
Sadly, You've been here since I was conceived.

I stood in front of the mirror and stared at my tux-clad body. I tugged at my collar, which felt too tight and uncomfortable. I sighed and reminded myself that I was supposed to be excited. Tonight was a night that would forever be a highlight of my high school career, or so I was told. I could’ve attempted to try to pump myself up about the whole even by telling myself lies about how fun it would be and how the amount of camaraderie I would feel with my peers would be through the roof and absolutely insurmountable to anything I’d ever experienced before, but I didn’t want to waste any more time than I already had trying to figure out how exactly to tie a tie. Speaking of my tie, I glanced down and realized it was crooked once again and attempted to fix it. After a few moments of messing with it, I shrugged and glanced at my alarm clock.

I am a composer,

I never break my disguise.
Through those heat filled faces surrounding me
I can just barely see
and sometimes I find nowhere to run
they take over me.
I am rarely awake with sun,
so that when everything slips undone,
I will not be exposed
I will always stay composed.
I keep my secrets like stars keep distance
burning bright beneath my skin
defining my existence
out of reach and filled with sin.
Never trust a word I say,
I lie to everyone every day

I will admit
that I am unlike you in many ways.
Who I am is just this: a secret to hold

Former Accused Iraqi Agent Reveals Facts about 9/11 Warning
To speak the truth under President George Bush was the worst crime of all. It was treason.
'But what exactly was the U.S. government trying to hide?
"The answer is more far reaching than you would expect. In the first article of this series written and edited with the help of Michael Collins, we talk about the 9/11 warning that my team delivered to the Office of Counter-Terrorism at the Justice Department in August, 2001.
"For those who think you've heard the whole story of 9/11, you might be surprised."

Temperature records keep coming. This January was the hottest on record, with 1.7°C above the pre-industrial average for the month, according to the European Union's Copernicus climate change service.
This means that there was a 12-month period in which the average global surface temperature was more than 1.5°C higher than the average from 1850 to 1900, the period considered a pre-industrial reference point.
“2024 begins with another record month,” Samantha Burgess of the Copernicus Climate Change Service said in a statement. “Rapid reductions in greenhouse gas emissions are the only way to stop rising global temperatures. »
At the 2015 Paris climate meeting, countries committed to trying to prevent global temperatures from rising more than 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. Climatologists will only consider this limit exceeded when the long-term average global temperature has remained above this level for several years.
Currently, the long-term average is 1.25°C warmer than pre-industrial times, according to Richard Betts at the Met Office, the national weather service of the United Kingdom. But as carbon emissions continue to rise, it seems certain that, by this measure, the 1.5°C limit will soon be exceeded, probably around 2030.
The long-term global average is increasing in line with climate model projections. However, the extremely rapid warming observed over the past two years has far exceeded expectations. Among other records, 2023 was the first day it was more than 2°C warmer than the average from 1850 to 1900.
We still don't know why the warming has been so rapid over the past year or so and how long it will continue. Possible factors that could have increased warming include the 2022 eruption of the Tonga volcano, which injected large amounts of water into the stratosphere, and a reduction in aerosol pollution from ships.
Climatologists have defined pre-industrial temperature as the average from 1850 to 1900 for practical reasons, because few temperature records exist before that date. But using that as a benchmark could mean the level of warming from fossil fuel emissions is underestimated.
A 2017 study suggests we were wrong by about 0.2°C. Another publication this week, based on an analysis of sea sponges, estimates the gap at 0.5°C, meaning the 1.5°C limit has already been exceeded – but other climate scientists are not sure. not convinced.

This guide will show players how to unlock the Abbadon Exotic Machine Gun in Destiny, only obtainable by completing the Hymns of Fire Exotic quest given by Commander Zavala. This quest will drop after players have completed the Songs from the Void Exotic quest and unlocked the Nova Mortis Exotic Machinegun.
Step 1: What Remains
To complete this step, Guardians must talk to Banshee-44 in the Tower. Banshee-44 will then give you the first real step of the Hymns of Fire quest.
Step 2: Cleansing Times
The next step is for gamers to get points from kills with Solar abilities in any activity. You need 100 points, but each kill with a Solar ability counts for five, so you only need 20 kills. You must use the class that you obtained the quest with, and thus will be stuck using the subclass that goes with it and uses Solar. You can do this naturally, or you can load up a Patrol on Earth and spawn in at the Steppes. This is a great place to farm the kills because the of three yellow-bar Hive hiding underground near the spawn.
Step 3: The Power of a Star
Once you have your Solar ability kills taken care of, the next step in Hymns of Fire is to return to the Tower and check in with Banshee-44 again.
Step 4: Burning Bright
The final step that requires effort is for you to complete the Shield Brothers Strike on the Dreadnaught. No level requirement is given, but we loaded in at 320 just to be sure. To complete this task, proceed to make your way through the Strike and defeat Valus Tlu’urn and Valus Mau’ual. Once you’re done, you’ll need a final trip to the Tower to pick up your prize.
Step 5: Catching a Star
Once you’re back at the Tower, report to Commander Zavala to complete the Hymns of Fire Exotic quest and unlock the Abbadon Exotic Machinegun.
If you’re looking for more Exotics in Destiny, be sure to unlock the Year 3 Necrochasm. It’s a quest that’s much more involved than getting the Abbadon by completing Hymns of Fire, but it’s worth it.

St. Petersburg, FL – A final day of campaigning before Tuesday’s primary was marred in St. Petersburg by reports of antisemitic vandalism aimed at former Miami Beach Mayor Philip Levine, who Jewish and is seeking the Democratic nomination for governor.
According Max Flugrath, a campaign spokesman for Levine, campaign signs were vandalized with swastika symbols at the southeast corner of 66th St. N and Tyrone Boulevard, outside Bond Diamonds, which is now defunct.
“As Governor, I will never be held hostage to hatred, or bigotry, or intolerance,” Levine said in a statement. “Never. All candidates should speak out against this intolerable behavior. We are better than the haters, bigger than the bigots, and tomorrow we will show them why.”

RAREY, THE HORSE'S MASTER AND FRIEND
BY SARA LOWE BROWN
Copyright, 1916, Sara Lowe Brown.
|It is one of the honors of Franklin county, Ohio, that early in the second quarter
of the Nineteenth century, it produced, in the person of John Solomon Rarey, a man who
bore to all the world the message that in kindness there is power. Ralph Waldo Emerson
said of him that he had "turned a new leaf in civilization," while William Lloyd
Garrison testified to his "fitness to teach the world a great and everywhere needed
lesson of humanity." The young man was educate (I at the old Groveport academy,
Bishop Washburn's school on Walnut creek and at Ohio Wesleyan University, but he
found his message---that of kindness to animals, especially the horse ---in the fields and
stables of his father's farm. With this message that the rule of love is the condition of
greatest achievement in the use of the horse, he proceeded, when he was but thirty-one, to
the state capital, to Canada, to Europe, Africa and Asia, proclaiming his gospel and
working what seemed to be miracles in the taming of horses so vicious that all the methods
known to brutal horse-breakers had failed to subdue them. His achievements were witnessed,
applauded and honored by kings, emperors and savants, and he returned to his native land
to make a tour from which he emerged with the praise of reformers, philanthropists and
Mr. Rarey's great work was done within the period of ten years, and it was so well done that its influence will never be lost. It gave new vitality to the Societies for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and put a kindlier spirit into the methods of training horses for service in the armies, not only of this country, but also of England and France. It taught to the cabmen and carters of London, Paris, Edinburgh and other cities the folly and wickedness of brutality to their animals and gave to lovers of the horse everywhere, both men and women, the real key to their successful management.
Only a man of fine intelligence, good heart and real genius could have done all this. And that is precisely what John S. Rarey was. No one can read the reports of his lectures or the accounts of his demonstrations without being convinced that he was a man of extraordinary powers of speech, of pleasing personality, of courage and of confidence never running to the extreme of egotism. He performed wonders, but he gave a reason for them and showed others how they could do as much, if they would. It was a rare lesson that Mr. Rarey taught---a lesson that men everywhere are too prone to forget. If it were applied to mankind, as one of his English admirers said, "Christianity would assign him a place among the Apostles." It is akin to the lesson that the world must learn again, if the nations are to be at peace.
|THE RAREY FAMILY.||The Rarey family in America is traced back to Charles Rarey, who was born in Nord Ottensin, Hamburg, in 1744, and came, when a young man, to America as a trader in dry goods. Losing his fortune through the repudiation of Continental money, he turned to farming and, in 1778, married Margaret Wolfe who, though of English descent, was of American birth. He was a tenant farmer in Maryland and later in Virginia. Of the eleven children born of this union, one, Nicholas, died. The others came with their parents, in 1806, to Ohio, the family settling on a purchased farm in Franklin county, on Walnut creek. They were among the early settlers of the county. Their farm was surrounded by forest in which there was an abundance of game, including bears and wolves which were often a menace to the stock. But Charles and his family of fearless, energetic boys were great hunters; they retaliated on the wild animals and made merchandise of their furs, thus adding to the profits from their farming. Prosperity came as a result of this double industry, and farm after farm was added to the Rarey holdings. Charles Rarey died at the Walnut creek homestead, January 3, 1826, aged 82 years; his wife, Margaret Wolfe, died at the same place, October 10, 1839, aged 74 years; their remains are buried in the little cemetery near by.|
Click to see the current (1997) view of the Rarey Cemetery
Adam Rarey, son of Charles and Margaret and father of John, was born in 1786, and at the age of 26 married Mary Catherine Pontius, a pretty young woman of Pennsylvania birth then living in Chillicothe. The couple for four or five years lived on a farm near the paternal home, but, annoyed by the overflowing of Walnut creek and tempted by the opening of he public road from Columbus to Lancaster, moved to another tract where, because their home was a convenient stepping place for travelers between Columbus and Lancaster, they opened, soon after the declaration of peace in 1815, a house of public entertainment, maintaining it till Adam's death in 1839.
It was in the brick house, erected by Adam Rarey (the front walls of which were retained in the Rarey mansion, now remodeled as the Hotel Elmont) that John Solomon Rarey was born, December 6, 1827. One of his earliest traits was an intense fondness for the farm horses and colts. When he was three years old, it was his delight to ride the plowhorse when his father or elder brother was working in the fields. When he was 12, his father gave him a spirited bay colt to break, according to his own ideas. He did so, making the animal the marvel of the neighborhood. His fame spread, and men came hundreds of miles to be instructed by the boy in the training of horses; so that, while he was yet a youth, he found himself in a prosperous business. Convinced that the horse is an animal of higher intelligence than generally supposed and having decided to make horse-training his life-work, John went to Texas, where he spent several months in studying and training the wild horses of the plains. Kindness, firmness and patience were the essentials of his system, and to these qualities the wild horses yielded as readily as did those at his Ohio home. There he also owned and trained a team of elks which he often drove to the capital and to county fairs.

Batavia aldermen are OK with demolishing former church
Batavia aldermen are checking a few things off their list of things to do to enable redevelopment at Washington Avenue and Wilson Street.
That includes recommending granting themselves permission to raze the First Baptist Church and a few other buildings the city owns to make room for a proposed complex of apartments, stores and parking garage.
The committee of the whole voted 12-1 Tuesday in favor of a "certificate of appropriateness," a document necessary because the church is considered a significant building in the historic district.
The council will take a binding vote, possibly at its next meeting.
Alderman Kevin Botterman voted "no," and Alderman Kyle Hohmann was absent.
Alderman Susan Stark stressed that just because aldermen say it is OK to knock down the church buildings doesn't mean they will immediately be razed.
The council has not hired a demolition company.
The committee also recommended setting dates for public hearings related to creating a new tax increment financing district for the area.
The public hearing before the joint review board is tentatively set for 10:30 a.m. Sept. 27. There, representatives of various taxing bodies affected by the proposed district will review it and vote whether to recommend it.
It also recommended holding a public hearing before the city council at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 7.
As required by law, the city will establish an interested parties registry. People who sign up for it will be notified of events and changes to the TIF and proposed redevelopment plans.
The city has created a page on its website devoted to the proposal for One North Washington Place and the creation of the TIF district.
It has also posted a schedule of actions for creating the TIF and building One North Washington Place.
Shodeen Inc. proposes to build 186 apartments and a 359-space garage. The garage would be used by the tenants and the public, replacing the current parking deck at River and State streets.

Welcome to another edition of the TD:D Blog Carnival!
I hope that you are all taking some time to rest and enjoy the holiday season with family and friends. If you have some writing goals this Winter, check out the posts below for some helpful hints.
Enjoy this week’s posts and make sure to check back
next week in two weeks for another edition.
“Procrastination is a topic commonly discussed in the writer’s community. Yet, when it comes to the evidence presented to back up specific claims on procrastination, it all comes down to opinions. No specific studies are mentioned nor the things we can learn from these studies. Maybe because people aren’t aware of them.”
How to Write Forever by Doing the Impossible by Joel Runyon
“Occasionally, I hit a spot where I just don’t feel like writing and nothing seems to flow. I’ll want to write forever, but I start 4 or 5 different pieces and they all end up incomplete. I can’t really get behind anything and every time I sit down to write and I’m just full of blah.”
One of the Best Writing Tips Ever: Spin Class! by Holly Robinson
“Two of the most common questions people ask writers are: (1) When do you write? And (2) what do you do if you get writer’s block? When I see these questions headed my way — whether from a friend, a student, a book club member, or a radio talk show host — I freeze like a possum crossing in front of a bicycle.”
The TD:D blog carnival is published weekly on Thursdays.
