John Hinckley Jr, the man who tried to assassinate US President Ronald Reagan, has been released from a psychiatric hospital after 35 years.
Mr Reagan and three others were injured in the shooting outside a hotel in Washington in March 1981.
Mr Hinckley was found not guilty by reason of insanity but was sent for treatment to a Washington hospital.
In July, a judge ruled that Mr Hinckley, now 61, was not a danger to himself or the public.
Mr Hinckley had already been spending 17 days a month at his mother's home in Virginia under strict conditions.
Associated Press reported that he had arrived at her home having been freed on Saturday.
As part of his release he will:
- be banned from speaking to the press;
- have to work three days a week;
- be allowed to drive no more than 30 miles (48km) from his mother's home, or 50 miles if accompanied;
- see a psychiatrist two times a month
The shooting, just weeks into Ronald Reagan's presidency, shocked the world.
Mr Reagan was shot in the lung, but recovered.
His press secretary James Brady was shot in the head, suffered brain damage and used a wheelchair for the rest of his life.
Mr Brady's death in 2014 at the age of 73 was ruled to be a homicide, but no further charges against Hinckley were brought.
Two law enforcement officers suffered less serious injuries in the shooting.
US District Judge Paul Friedman's judgement points to medical assessments which showed that Mr Hinckley had had "no symptoms of active mental illness" since 1983.
He had shot the president in an apparent bid to impress the actress Jodie Foster, with whom he had an obsession and whom he had subjected to what would now be termed stalking.
John Hinckley Jr's psychiatric history
The court order and opinion available on the website of the US District Court for the District of Columbia spell out the terms of Mr Hinckley's release, and detail his psychiatric history and treatment:
- He was diagnosed with acute psychosis, major depression and narcissistic personality disorder
- He has been in "full, stable and sustained remission" from the first two diagnoses for more than two decades, the court concluded
- The hospital believes further inpatient treatment is "not appropriate therapeutically" for Mr Hinckley's condition
- He is banned from contacting any of his victims, or their descendants, and Jodie Foster and her family
- He and his family are prohibited from talking to the media

Spread across 4,431 acres, the Eagle Bluffs Conservation Area offers many outdoor recreational opportunities for families. These include hunting, fishing, hiking, nature viewing, and — on the portions of the KATY Trail that passes through the area — biking. In fact, biking the KATY Trail State Park trail provides great fun for families and kids of all ages, and transports families to some of the area’s best nature viewing areas. One such area is the Eagle Bluffs Conservation Area Overlook, which offers panoramic views of the area, plus a closer look at the eagles that call the area home.
The overlook is located above the bluffs along the Perche Creek; if biking The KATY Trail State Park trail, you’ll reach the overlook entrance near mile marker 166.7. However, if you prefer to drive, you’ll need to go to the Providence Access parking lot at Perche Creek off of Old Plank Road. You won’t find much, if any, signage directing you to the overlook, so grab a copy of the Eagle Bluffs Conservation Area map at local visitors centers or in your hotel. You’ll find the Providence Access marked on the map at the end of Old Plank Road.
After parking your car, walk back to the parking lot entrance, where you’ll find the KATY Trail. Turn left, and walk until you see the sign marking the Eagle Bluffs Conservation Area Overlook. The walk is approximately 1 mile or so; while it is an easy, flat walk, younger kids may become bored with it, especially if it’s hot outside. Bring water with you. Once you reach the overlook entrance, you will have to climb a series of uneven steps to the top. While it can be steep, if you take it nice and easy, the climb is not too bad. Once at the top of the steps, follow the trail to the overlook deck.
Note: When parking your car in the Providence Access lot, park as close to the entrance as possible. The waters of Perche Creek do rise, and you don’t want your car under water!
Open for public use from 4 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily. Hunting, fishing, trapping, camping, dog training, launching, and landing boats allowed 24 hours a day in areas where these activities are permitted.
While most activities are free, some, such as fishing, do require a license or permit fee.

New cabinet to be formed in Bangladesh on Sunday
Dhaka: The new cabinet in Bangladesh will be formed and sworn in on Sunday, when President Abdul Hamid will administer oath of office to new ministers, officials said on Thursday.
The new cabinet will have 30 members but Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is likely to drop several ministers who have been accused of poor performance or corruption, the mass circulation Prothom Alo newspaper quoting its sources as saying.
Earlier today, Awami League chief Hasina, 66, was unanimously elected as leader of the AL Parliamentary Party.
Veteran politicians with a good image will be inducted in view of the "critical political situation", cabinet division officials were quoted as saying.
The ruling Awami League clinched a landslide victory in the parliamentary election on January 5 by bagging 231 seats in the face of a boycott of the polls by the BNP-led 18-party opposition alliance.

Friday, August 03, 2012 -
A blackout on internet and mobile communications imposed last week by Tajikistan’s government has dried up the flow of remittances to residents of the restive southeastern Tajik province of Gorno-Badakhshan, according to local media Friday.
The state communications agency in Dushanbe cut all communications lines to the city of Khorog and nearby districts on July 24 as government forces launched an assault on illegal armed groups in the mountainous area bordering Afghanistan.
The military operation was called to hunt down a number of suspects in the murder of a top security official in Khorog.
President Emomali Rahmon ordered a ceasefire later last week but has maintained the blackout of web sites.
Remittances from labor migrants working in Russia and other former Soviet countries are a vital component of the cash-strapped local economy and the main source of income for families that lack local work opportunities.
One of the conditions of the ceasefire that began July 29 was for fighters to hand in their weapons and receive immediate amnesty.
Around 300 weapons have been surrendered since then, according to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Asia-Plus reported.
The weapons include Kalashnikovs, pistols, artillery shells, grenades, and other munitions, said a ministry spokesman.

Politicians have worked hard to keep access to Internet connections and many forms of Internet communication free from regulation and taxation. But the debate over how government treats the Internet is likely to reach a new level of intensity now that Internet technology is colliding with one of the nation's most lucrative businesses -- telephone service.
Last week, AT&T and Time Warner Cable said they intend to make Internet phone service available to millions of consumers next year, allowing those consumers to bypass traditional phone companies. Those moves signaled the start of a technological shift that could change one of the biggest and most important industries in the American economy. Central to that shift is whether and how Internet phone service should be regulated, a question that the Federal Communications Commission started to explore in hearings two weeks ago.

This is my first LED light, so I'm not field experienced with them in general, I do have 30 years on sets and locations in other capacities. In saying that, I bought it over other lights because its 12 watts, RGB and is a great sized panel (same size as an iPhone 12 Pro Max), which outputs decent flat illumination even at low level. Color range is wider than most others in its class, allowing for greater range to copy other light sources. It does flicker, but nothing that has effected my 24,25, 30, 60 or 120 fps tests. Oh and its also a small power bank. Its magnetic, and its decent. I put a piece of gaffer over the magnetic area so that its less likely to slip down a light pole or similar. Two ARRI 4/20 mounts. Below 20% output level, colors tend to curl into their next neighbor, its not a big deal, you just have to tweak the value, that or put a piece of ND over the light until you get what you want. I bought one, and am going to buy another two, for tri light setups and the like. The concept of having this level of controllable light in such a great form factor, kind of blows my mind. This is a great tool, I trust SmallRig and have been working with them for well over a decade.
I love this light, it does everything it's supposed to, very handy for small jobs. Controls are simple, light strength is reasonable, the battery lasts a very long time. Comes with 2 diffusers and a nice case. definitely value for money.
Wow! Wow! Wow! This is a beautifully designed and perfectly realised piece of kit. From opening the box to handling the PIX M160 RGBWW LED Light it screams quality. Seldom have I felt excited by unboxing a product before but this exceeded my expectations. The light is solidly constructed (Aluminium Alloy). Brilliantly portable (about the size of an iPhone Max, so would fit in a pocket, and multifunctional. I am often overwhelmed by the data that accompanies such products but for those that need to know it has: 0-100% brightness control, CRI95, TLCI98, colour temperature scale from 2500K to 8500K, 360° of hue, 100 levels of saturation adjustment and twelve lighting effects. It is integrated with an OLED display to control parameters through dials, knobs and buttons. It comes with a built-in 3800mAh lithium battery, which is charged with a USB Type-C charging cable (included). If that wasn't enough it also serves as a power bank charging the phone through a built-in USB port when powered off. The light can be fixed magnetically or mounted directly onto a camera or a cage with the ballhead 761 and a built-in 1/4″ -20 anti-twist hole. The box also contains a SmalRig micro ballhead. The addition of a honeycomb grid and a light diffuser all made in a durable rubber material ensures you can also create various atmospheres. Simply put the box contains everything you would need to create a perfect lighting response to differing situations. The box contents are; 1 x LED Light 1 x Honeycomb Grid 1 x Light Diffuser 1 x Ballhead 761 1 x USB Type-C Charging Cable 1 x Portable Bag 1 x Instruction Book I own two other DSLR mounted lights which whilst effective are mainly made of plastic, and lack any feel of quality, durability or sturdiness. I am now desperate to own another to replace my other, what I can only describe as, inferior lights. The PIX M160 places all of these lights in the shade. It is a shining example of style, functionality and quality. Wow! Wow! Wow!

Praia, Nov 20 (Inforpress) – The Minister of Infrastructure, Territorial Planning and Housing said today in Praia that Cabo Verde faces a deficit of more than 40,000 homes in need of rehabilitation, in addition to around 14,000 that need to be built.
Eunice Silva made these statements to the press at the conference held to present the housing programme, as part of the Cycle of Conferences promoted by the Government of Cape Verde, aimed at detailing the sectoral aspects included in the proposed State Budget for the financial year 2024.
“We went through the period from 2016 to 2023 and the outlook for 2024/2025, we took stock of the cooperation we have with the municipal councils, through the programme contracts, the number of houses we have managed to rehabilitate, which is in line with the qualitative deficit that is Cabo Verde’s biggest problem. So we have a deficit of more than 40,000 houses that need to be rehabilitated and we have around 14,000 to build,” said the government official.
In parallel with the rehabilitation and construction of housing, the minister stressed, there are also two fronts: the elimination of shacks on the islands of Sal and Boa Vista and the ‘Casa para Todos’ program. Currently, the latter presents 40% physical execution and 60% financial execution, added to a major intervention in the city of Praia with the “habitat regeneration program”.

Before it was cool to read the Hunger Games, I read the Hunger Games, and fell in love with the characters. I tried to tell people how addicting the books were, and convinced my family to read them, as well. Now, you’re not cool if you haven’t read this trilogy by Suzanne Collins.
If you haven’t jumped on the bandwagon yet, today is your lucky day. The Hunger Games Trilogy is on sale at Amazon for your Kindle for only $5, originally $48.50 (digital price!) THREE BOOKS FOR $5 DOLLARS! Unfortunately, I already have the first one on my Kindle (and own it in paperback) and then have the second and third in hardback. Even though this deal doesn’t work for me, it may be perfect for you. Not sure how long this deal will last, so get it fast!
You can watch the first Hunger Games movie, which I thought was very similar to the book, before the second one comes out on November 22, my mom’s birthday. Jennifer Lawrence (who has the same birthday as me) is currently in Hawaii shooting some scenes from the film.

Cummings’ Suite (A Song Cycle for High Voice and Piano based on the poetry of E.E. Cummings) was composed during the autumn of 2006. Commissioned by American soprano, Janeanne Houston, the cycle is warmly dedicated to her. Though the poetry for the five-movement comes from various periods in the creative life of the American poet, E.E. Cummings, the cycle is held together by two pitches that are Mr. Cummings’ initials, “E” and “C.” Durations of each song are as follows: 1. ca. 2’; 2 ca. 2’ 30”; 3. ca. 1’ 30”; 4. ca. 2’ 30”; 5. ca. 2’ Total duration = ca. 10 minutes.

Thirteen-year-old Boli and his friends are deep in the middle of a game of marbles. An older boy named Mosca has won the prized Devil's Fire marble. His pals are jealous and want to win it away from him. This is Izayoc, the place of tears, a small pueblo in a tiny valley west of Mexico City where nothing much happens. It's a typical hot Sunday morning except that on the way to church someone discovers the severed head of Enrique Quintanilla propped on the ledge of one of the cement planters in the plaza and everything changes. Not apocalyptic changes, like phalanxes of men riding on horses with stingers for tails, but subtle ones: poor neighbors turning up with brand-new SUVs, pimpled teens with fancy girls hanging off them. Boli's parents leave for Toluca and don't arrive at their destination. No one will talk about it. A washed out masked wrestler turns up one day, a man only interested in finding his next meal. Boli hopes to inspire the luchador to set out with him to find his parents.
Phillippe Diederich was born in the Dominican Republic and raised in Mexico City and Miami. His parents were forced out of Haiti by the dictatorship of Papa Doc Duvalier in 1963. As a photojournalist, Diederich has traveled extensively through Mexico and witnessed the terrible tragedies of the Drug Wars.

Chapters 1 and 2 trace the shift in the concept of the monster from Antiquity to the 16th century. In Antiquity, monsters were considered prodigies, marvelous creatures that raise astonishment, surprise and curiosity. During the 16th century, this concept changed progressively into the modern meaning of a scary creature. This evolution manifests itself clearly in poetry. This study reveals that it occurs during the rise of the Reformation and the Religious Wars, eight terrible and bloody civil wars that divided France into two factions, Catholic and Huguenot. Both parties attacked each other using monsters as weapons in polemic texts, such as pamphlets, letters or discourses. From a poetry of love, lyrism and glorification of the womans beauty, poets like Pierre de Ronsard and Agrippa dAubigne shift their focus to a polemic poetry that is characterized by horror and the imagery of monsters. Chapters 3 and 4 concentrate on two works: Discours (1562) by Ronsard and Les Tragiques (1610) by Aubigne. In both poems monsters are used to depict the enemies: the Huguenots for the Catholic poet Ronsard, and the Catholic Royal family for the Protestant poet Aubigne. A stylistic analysis of these works shows that during the Religious Wars there is indeed a rhetoric of the monster, which is a new poetic trend relying on monsters as metaphors to embody the opponent and on a monstrous writing style. The present study demonstrates that this trend first exemplified by Ronsard, culminates in Aubignes poetry through a rhetoric which shares many characteristics with baroque aesthetics.

Modification of cassava was produced by saltings process using NaCl and acid hydrolysis using lactid acid. The research’s aim is to improved physicochemical and rheology properties of modified cassava such as swelling power and solubility. Cassava chips was soaked into 5% w salt solution or 1% w lactid acid solution then dehydrated. Dried cassava was grinded and then analyzed the physicochemical and rheological properties. The fixed variables were cassava species, weight of cassava 1 kg, drying time, salt consentration 5% w, and lactid acid consentration 1% w, while the changed variable was soaking time (2, 4, 6, 8, 10 hours). The product was analyzed its properties such as swelling power, solubillity, and noodle texture. The analysis method was adopted from Leach et. al. (1959) of swelling power, Kainuma et. al. (1967) of % solubility, and texture analyzer, Lloyd of noodle texture. The result of this research saw that the soaked time did not effect on swelling power and % solubility and noodle tensile strenght. The variable of 5% salt soaking gave the closed swelling power and % solubility of wheat flour. The noodle product of mixing 50 % wheat flour and 50 % modified cassava flour by lactid acid soaked for 4 hours gave tensile strenght closed to wheat flour,while noodle product of mixing 75 % wheat flour and 25 modified cassava flour by salting for 10 hours gave tensile strenghtclosed to wheat flour.

MANHATTAN (CN) - A man claims Envision EMI and the Congressional Youth Leadership Council told him that for $2,549 his 12-year-old daughter could see President Obama's inauguration and attend four days of preliminary events. But he said the defendants couldn't get access to the Washington Mall and the kids had to watch the inauguration on TV at a hotel in Maryland.
Martine Bertoni filed the pro se complaint in New York County Court. He says the CYLC, a wholly owned division of Envision, hired a felon to arrange the festivities, and he failed disastrously. Bertoni claims the CYLC grossed $47.7 million from its "conferences" in 2005-06.

Oral steroid dose for back pain, medrol dose pack vs prednisone for back pain
Oral steroid dose for back pain
A steroid injection (spinal epidural) for the treatment of back pain is among the most common interventions for back pain caused by irritated spinal nerve roots. Although no specific studies have been published that compare the effects of spinal epidural therapy compared to placebo on various measures of back pain, these studies show that spinal epidural stimulation does not seem to have adverse effects on back pain relief. Although this study does not provide conclusive evidence, it does show that this intervention does not seem to increase the frequency of any side effect of spinal epidurals, prednisone for pain and inflammation. The overall patient–objective effect was reported as positive; however, there were statistically significant differences in patient–objective reports between groups, how quickly does prednisone work for back pain. The difference was statistically significant for perceived pain score (P<0, oral steroid dose for back pain.05) and adverse effects score (P<0, oral steroid dose for back pain.001), but not for the number of patient visits for back pain (P=0, oral steroid dose for back pain.09), oral steroid dose for back pain. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant at time of treatment in both the patient–objective measures of pain and the adverse effects score. This study demonstrates that using spinal epidural stimulation (at least for two consecutive visits) is no more effective than no treatment for the management of chronic back pain, oral steroid bodybuilding. However, when comparing spinal epidural stimulation (two consecutive visits) to waiting for a spinal tap for acute back pain the risk for adverse effects does not seem to be higher for patients who wait for a spinal tap for back pain compared with those who do not wait [see Clinical Studies (14)], pain steroid dose for back oral. A significant positive effect of spinal epidural stimulation (two consecutive visits) on the number of patient visits for back pain in the treatment group is not a consistent result. Although this might be an indication that patients are more willing to undertake spinal injections for back pain, or might not be affected by any of the adverse effects described previously, the effect might also be due to a desire, or maybe more appropriate, to receive injections and a desire to receive injections as frequently as they wish, and therefore the overall effect is unlikely to be due to this reason, oral steroid alternatives.
Medrol dose pack vs prednisone for back pain
Studies designed to investigate the use of oral steroids in the setting of acute low back pain are limited. In the present study, we sought to further this investigation, by utilizing the results of the three randomized controlled trials described previously (1, 2, 3) but, unlike their work, we included random groups of patients treated with oral steroids during a single acute phase. We hypothesized that steroids, compared with oral care alone, would improve the use of analgesics by reducing pain severity, but would have little effect on primary pain management, steroid burst for low back pain. Methods The subjects The subjects were a randomized, controlled, 3-month placebo-controlled, crossover study in order to test the efficacy of oral steroids in the management of acute low back pain, oral steroids for acute back pain. All the patients were evaluated by using a standardized questionnaire at the onset of the study to determine the eligibility of both the subjects and the investigators, and were allowed to stop taking their drugs voluntarily before the end of the study, oral back steroids pain management for. They were also excluded from the randomized arm if they were taking oral steroids in the absence of their primary treatment for acute low back pain, as long as the patient maintained his or her usual dose. The protocol and statistical approach adopted are explained in detail elsewhere (13), oral steroids for back pain management. Study population The participants were recruited through a referral list prepared to serve as the "main center" and comprised of patients who had been treated for acute low back pain with oral steroids during a single hospitalization, or for whom no other treatment had improved their pain and had not been considered a failure. The list of individuals included in this study included a wide range of different ethnic groups. Although every effort was made to keep the ethnic composition of the study population within the original published lists, a few participants from the Black population were not able to be included in our study due to the limited number of available black patients, oral steroids for back pain. Thus, the final sample was made up of 100 Black / Caucasian patients. A similar study was published by the authors (13) in 1990, oral steroid dose for poison ivy. The study population had a mean age of 62 years, with a range of 49–81 years (13). The majority of the subjects were male, and most reported a history of chronic low back pain at least 10 years prior to the onset of the study. Approximately 80% of the patients met our current inclusion criteria, oral steroid dose for poison ivy. Study design and protocol In the randomized arm, patients were randomly assigned to receive placebo (n = 50) or oral steroids (n = 50) with usual care (placebo arm, n = 50) twice a day (totaling six daily visits).

What do Elon Musk and Robin Hood have in common?
In a word, influence. Both Musk and the platform Robinhood (not the mythical robber of the rich, giver to the poor) can send markets into a frenzy.
Gossip and rumours have always affected the world’s stock markets, but now social media has multiplied the effect several times over.. Millions can be wiped off a company’s value by a single tweet, or conversely inflated through activity on social media platforms. Nowadays, anyone sat in their armchair can buy and sell shares on one of the various different apps available and they are watching social media. That’s why effective communication from companies is more important than ever to stay ahead of the stock market game.
How One Single Tweet Can Affect Share Price
Elon Musk is probably the most notorious and prolific Tweeter when it comes to manipulating markets. In May 2020, he tweeted, “Tesla stock price is too high imo.” That same day the company’s stock price closed 10% lower. Regulators are still in dispute with Musk over the legality of his tweets, arguing that tweets from the company’s founder will inevitably move its share price above other factors, but these legal wrangles haven’t deterred Musk at all. In fact, he moved on to another sector closely bound up with the Tesla empire that isn’t regulated in the same way—cryptocurrencies. With a few carefully chosen words he has been sending the price of bitcoin, and dogecoin, up and down—seemingly at will. The final outcome of the lengthy battle between Musk and the SEC is likely to have an impact on the relationship between social media and the stock market.
Social Media Platforms and the Stock Market
January 2021 saw a bizarre and unexpected plot twist in the stock market story when an army of Redditors took on the hedge fund investors of Wall Street and sent the share prices of GameStop skyrocketing with an online buying frenzy that turned the market on its head and forced a halt in trading. Platforms such as Robinhood have allowed beginner and younger investors to have access to the market via apps that offer commission-free trades and fractional shares that remove the need to make a large investment. Many such users use of social media to gather information on their investment targets. Companies need to include this target audience in their social media strategy.
Does a Company’s Social Media Activity Matter when it Comes to the Stock Market?
In short, yes. Investors take information from a host of online sources to make their decisions, including social media platforms, Twitter accounts of channels linked to investment firms and news media, to name just a few. More and more brokerage firms have begun to offer tools that analyse or collect information from social media sources to assist their investors in their decision-making. StockPulse, for example, is working with Nasdaq’s US Market Surveillance team to incorporate social media analytics into its surveillance system, such as monitoring the use of spam or bots for attempts at price manipulation.
How Can I Ensure that my Company’s Social Media Activity Stays Ahead of the Stock Market Game?
Your social media communication needs to be reliable and trustworthy. Consistent, informative and insightful posting is key to bringing your business long-term, stable results in a volatile market. Your focus should not just be on your own posts, it is also essential to monitor and analyse what is being posted about you. Some social media platforms have evolved into online trading clubs for gathering trade ideas, swapping tips, and inflating stocks. And the keyboard is most definitely mightier than the sword when Twitter’s 280-character limit can cause share prices to rocket or plummet in a matter of hours.

Johannesburg - Boxing SA (BSA) is on the verge of appointing two provincial managers to ease Archie Nyingwa’s heavy workload.
Nyingwa currently operates in Gauteng, the Northern Cape, the Free State, North West and Limpopo.
The BSA provincial manager was meant to be overseeing licencees in Gauteng only, but also operates in the other four provinces as they have no representatives.
The rest of the country’s provinces have their own managers in charge of serving local licensees.
The Eastern Cape falls under Phakamile Jacobs and Mthunzi Mapitiza; the Western Cape is run by Mickey Klaas; KwaZuluNatal is led by Les Andreasen; and Mpumalanga has its affairs run by Solly Matsomela.
Gauteng comprises 366 licensees.
This includes boxers, trainers, managers, officials, seconds, agents, promoters, matchmakers and ring announcers.
However, Nyingwa finds himself with the added burden of handling an extra 114 licensees from the four provinces.
BSA chief executive Tsholofelo Lejaka said the appointments would help the sport grow nationally.
“The BSA has taken it upon itself to appoint two new provincial managers to strengthen its footprint nationally and facilitate growth in other provinces,” he said.
“The BSA feels the absence of provincial managers in some provinces has a negative affect on the growth prospects of boxing in those provinces.”
Lejaka said each of the new managers would be responsible for two provinces.
“The thinking is to get two managers and then allocate two provinces to each,” Lejaka said, and added that final approval to commence the recruitment process would be agreed to by the board soon.
Nyingwa has been in charge of running the five provinces since 2015 after the resignation of former BSA chief executive Loyiso Mtya, who left following allegations of corruption, fraud and financial mismanagement of the boxing body.
“I’m happy with the new changes because the additional people will ease the pressure on me,” said the hard-working Nyingwa, who is often spotted doing his lot at designated BSA shows outside Gauteng as a tournament supervisor.
“I’m relieved because I will now be able to concentrate on overseeing Gauteng, a province where there are many tournaments and promoters.”

There are times at night when Dexter Strickland stares at the ceiling and wonders what in the world just happened to him.
The 6-foot-3, 175-pound sophomore from St. Patrick's High School in Elizabeth, N.J., was a reserve rookie guard on one of the best teams in the country. Minutes were sparse but experience came at a premium. Few outside of Jersey knew about him. He was just another young kid at St. Pat's.
He was like every other kid in his class. Then something happened. Strickland led the 15 and under division in scoring at the Tournament of Champions in May. Despite putting in 27 points a game, few still blinked.
A couple of weeks later, Strickland was the easy pick for the top performer and prospect at the adidas Phenom150 camp in San Diego. He showed an uncanny ability to play the point and off guard spot, performing wonderfully at both positions.
Strickland was quickly invited to the Nike All-America camp after his stellar San Diego showing. Different camp, same result. Strickland said he was happy with the way he played as one of the few class of 2009 prospects in the swoosh camp.
"I play more calm when I play with older players," Strickland said.
Strickland shot into the national spotlight after the first week of July. He ended the summer as the No. 7 player in the initial top 25 rankings for his class.
"It all started in San Diego," Strickland said. "Then I thought I did a good job at the Nike All-America camp. After that I went to the Eastern and was named the Most Outstanding Player there. Then it all ended at the Elite 24 game."
Strickland, a humble and well grounded kid, ended the summer hanging out with hip-hop mogul Jay-Z his 40/40 sports bar in New York City and picking up tips on his game from Jason Kidd at the Boost Mobile Elite 24 game.
For a kid that no one knew a year ago, he's now a must get guy for the high-majors. Indiana, Rutgers, Michigan State and
Marquette have offered. Syracuse, Kentucky, UCLA, Georgia Tech, Virginia and Villanova are showing interest. Strickland has already been on the campus of Rutgers and Villanova and a potential trip to Syracuse could happen this fall.
Recruiting isn't a priority, Strickland says. Getting better is. He has a bigger role now at St. Patrick's. The days of sitting at the end of the bench are over.
"I knew I had to be patient. It didn't make me mad at coach or make me look at things differently," Strickland said. "I know that is how it is going to be in college. I'm going to go there and have to learn from somebody so that is how I took it. Now I'm looking forward to my opportunity and help us make it to the (New Jersey) Tournament of Champions.
"I never want to stop working. I want to elevate my game to the net level."
That is what he is thinking about now on the late nights.

Although the clinical impact of small airway inflammation in asthma is not well understood, associations with nocturnal asthma symptoms, exacerbations, and airway hyperresponsiveness have been demonstrated. One measure of the effect of asthma treatments on small airway function is the change in forced expiratory flow between 25% and 75% of vital capacity (FEF25%–75%) following treatment. Changes in FEF25%–75% were determined in children with asthma using mometasone furoate delivered by a dry powder inhaler (MF-DPI), an ICS approved for administration once daily in the evening (QD PM) in patients aged ≥ 4 years.
FEF25%–75% was analyzed as a secondary variable in a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blinded, 12-week clinical trial in children aged 4–11 years with mild to moderate persistent asthma (primary results have been presented elsewhere). Patients were previously maintained on other ICSs with no washout period before randomization. Treatments investigated were MF-DPI 100 αg QD PM (the US approved pediatric dose), MF-DPI 100 αg twice daily (BID), and placebo. FEF25%–75% was measured by spirometry and was obtained from the single curve that gave the largest sum of forced vital capacity plus forced expiratory volume in 1 second. Treatment differences were analyzed by ANOVA.
Data from 296 children were analyzed. Significant improvements in FEF25%–75% began within the first week of treatment in the MF-DPI 100 αg QD PM and 100 αg BID groups compared with the placebo group (P≤0.033). The improvements were sustained throughout the study, and ranged from 16.0% to 22.7% for MF-DPI 100 αg QD PM, 17.7% to 32.7% for MF-DPI 100 αg BID, versus 6.1% to 11.4% for placebo. The changes from baseline at endpoint were 14.0% and 24.0% for patients on MF-DPI 100 αg QD PM and MF-DPI 100 αg BID, respectively, versus 0.5% for patients on placebo.
MF-DPI significantly improved small airway function in children with asthma.
Improvements in small airway function with MF-DPI therapy may contribute to effective asthma control in children.

We currently do not expect to have any amount drawn on the Bank Credit Facility at December 31, 2016.
Interest on loans under the Second Lien Credit Agreement are payable quarterly in cash at 12.5% per annum, or we may elect to pay interest each quarter in-kind at 15% per annum. We elected to pay interest in kind for the third quarter of 2016. Future quarterly elections must be made at least 30 days prior to the beginning of each calendar quarter.
The following table sets forth, by area, our planned capital expenditures for the year ending December 31, 2016.
|Six Months Ended||Year Ending||Percentage|
|June 30, 2016||December 31, 2016||of Total|
|Drilling and Completion:|
|Austin Chalk/Eagle Ford Shale||1,400||2,600||2||%|
|Leasing and seismic||15,600||29,600||28||%|
|Exploration and development||$||34,500||$||105,500||100||%|
We currently plan to spend approximately $105.5 million on exploration and development activities in 2016, an increase of $36 million over our prior estimate. We plan to continue utilizing one rig in Reeves County for the remainder of 2016. With recent improvements in drill times, we now expect to have drilled ten wells by the end of the year, with seven wells on production and three wells in various stages of completion. Our actual expenditures during 2016 may vary significantly from these estimates since our plans for exploration and development activities may change during the year. Changes in operating margins could increase our actual expenditures during fiscal 2016.
Accounting for Derivatives
The following summarizes information concerning our net positions in open commodity derivatives applicable to periods subsequent to June 30, 2016. In May 2016, we entered into costless collars covering 287 MBbls of oil production for the period from January 2017 through December 2017 at a floor price of $45.00 and a ceiling price of $55.00. In August 2016, we entered into a swap agreement covering 153 MBbls of oil production for the period from August 2016 through December 2016 at a price of $42.05. Settlement prices of commodity derivatives are based on NYMEX futures prices.
|3rd Quarter 2016||615||$||41.13|
|4th Quarter 2016||619||$||41.18|
|MBbls||Floor Price||Ceiling Price|
We did not designate any of our commodity derivatives as cash flow hedges; therefore, all changes in the fair value of these contracts prior to maturity, plus any realized gains or losses at maturity, were recorded as other income (expense) in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

Understanding the types of nursing care at Stone County Rehabilitation & Nursing Center
Nursing facilities can offer a variety of services from short-term rehabilitation to long-term care. With all levels of nursing care offered at Stone County Nursing & Rehabilitation Center, we are committed to helping our residents to reach their healthcare goals while in our care.
Short-term care encompasses therapy and rehabilitation services (typically less than 100 days of care) that require more involved attention and can’t easily be provided in a setting such as a hospital or patient’s home. There are several scenarios in which older adults might need short-term care following a serious injury or illness. For example, your father may need rehab to help him relearn how to feed and dress himself after having a stroke.
Being in the nursing facility setting provides special rehabilitative health services to patients with a continuum of care, allowing them to stay safe while recovering their strength. At Stone County Nursing & Rehabilitation Center, we offer a staff of licensed and certified medical professionals who are readily available. Upon reaching their treatment goals, those short-term care patients can return home.
Long-term care provides patients a wide variety of services encompassing a full continuum of care when assistance is needed with daily living activities. Stone County Nursing & Rehabilitation Center offers various levels of long-term care supporting health or personal care needs over an extended period.
Many people develop the need for long-term care gradually (often progressing with age) or as a chronic illness or disability becomes more debilitating. This can include cognitive impairment like memory loss, confusion or disorientation associated with Alzheimer’s or dementia.
Personal care residents are independent with the majority of activities of daily living (ADL) but need minimal assistance. Other residents receive non-skilled personal care assistance, such as help with daily living tasks like:
- Using the toilet
- Caring for incontinence
- Transferring (to or from bed/chair)
- Medication oversight/administration
When short-term care turns into long-term care
With short-term rehabilitative therapy, an initial treatment plan covering the patient’s condition and length of time expected to reach their goals is set. Upon recovery, residents are expected to return home after completing their rehabilitative therapy. While not always expected, a patient may need to move to a long-stay unit within the same facility or to a different nursing home.
Some patients reach their goals on or ahead of schedule, but in some cases, progress is reached at a slower pace than expected. This can be due to the patient being too weak, sick or not responding to the treatment right away. The amount of progress toward the plan/goals can affect insurance coverage. Other factors that may prevent a resident from returning home can include:
- Signs of memory loss or disorientation
- Environmental barriers such as lack of wheelchair accessibility or too many stairs in an apartment building
- Insurance not covering all home care services needed
- Signs of depression or isolation without having company or family members at home
- Personal limitations with family members not being able to provide proper care at home
Stone County Nursing & Rehabilitation Center understands required transition from a short-term to a long-term patient can be difficult news when returning home after treatment was the initial plan. Please feel free to contact us with any questions regarding care at our center.

. . . Photos and Commentary by Russ Jackson… January, 2009. Happy New Year, everyone! Let’s start with some good news from the Capitol Corridor’s holiday message to its riders: “You have spoken…and we listened. Back by popular demand is the pot roast sandwich on an onion roll. Visit the Cafe Car today and enjoy a hot sandwich on your ride home.”
But, what about the future? Well, for rail advocates in California 2009 could be a bleaker year than we hoped for. The state’s financial woes are reaching deep into every walk of life, and we hope by the time you read this the situation will have improved, but it might not be a positive result. When the state recently halted the $3.8 billion in public works projects throughout the state, rail and transit were hit hard just at the time when these construction projects were generating good jobs. The long sought order for new rail cars for the California corridor trains; track, signal, and station improvements at Emeryville and for the Coast Daylight; the Los Angeles Union Station run-through tracks; and the Sacramento Railyards project were all put on indefinite hold, as was the state’s contribution to the newly federal funded Kings Park track and signal improvements for the San Joaquin trains.
Of that latter project, RailPAC member/contributor Ralph James writes, “CA got $5 million from the new federal money pot for ‘4.5 mile double tracking and switch improvements near Hanford.’” Mr. James has been following this project for many years. He says, “This is the infamous double track to nowhere that I finally tracked down through (Caltrans Rail Chief) Bill Bronte last year. And now we learn it will take 2 1/2 more years to implement! There may be more scope to the overall project (nearly $20 million had better have more scope) than originally planned in the ’90s, but the power switches and signals have been in place for over a decade. Part of the second track through Kings Park was laid with jointed rail and some incorporated an existing industrial siding so some new rail and ties would be needed for mainline Class IV standards, BUT nothing of significance has prevented using this section as a 40 mph siding! Everyone speaks of this project as something new and wonderful that just appeared on the horizon when in actuality, significant benefits could have been accruing for years at a very modest cost beyond the already sunk funds. One aspect that may add to the cost would be additional realignments at East Shirley and West East Hanford where the recently completed double-tracking project created lap sidings instead of true double track.”
November was a banner month for improved reliability on Amtrak’s long distance trains, with the Sunset Limited OT 73.1%, Southwest Chief 86.7%, California Zephyr 66.7%, Empire Builder 85.8%, the Coast Starlight 83.8%, and the Texas Eagle 50%.
Two Texas Eagles and the Heartland Flyer are at the Ft. Worth, Texas platforms in January, 2008.
RailPAC member John Blaubach points out that the Starlight’s average was helped by the shorter re-route on some days through the San Joaquin Valley, and by on time departures from Sacramento. He rode #11/14 in early November, and “did arrive early into Chemult the next day. On his return trip on #11 it “arrived in plenty of time for me to transfer to #702 instead of waiting for the bus to Stockton. He notes that on December 1 #11 had four coaches and four sleepers, we actually arrived home in Santa Barbara at 6:12, and would have been there at 5:50 had #774 not been late.” Meanwhile, Andrew C. Selden reports the Empire Builder “limped into Minneapolis on December 15 just two hours down after slogging through a genuine blizzard overnight in the Dakotas and central Minnesota that had all the roads legally closed and the airports in a mess.” Railroads are all-weather means of transportation, but sometimes it’s hard going. The unfortunate news from November, however, is ridership on Amtrak trains declined 5.5% against the same month in the prior year and down 10.7% against what the company expected. However, the long distance trains were UP 3.9% against a year ago, with the Sunset Limited and Texas Eagle both UP 20%! Do you think the new Amtrak CEO, Mr. Boardman, noticed that? The biggest decline was the Acela Express which was DOWN more than 15%.
We welcome the New Mexico Railrunner extension to that state’s capitol city Santa Fe, where service started December 17 following an inaugural train that arrived there in a snow storm carrying Governor Bill Richardson and guests. There were the usual problems on the first day, including one train being halted for about 20 minutes after striking a cow near San Felipe Pueblo, track-signal problems and missed bus connections, but comments from passengers were positive despite the delays. Photographer Bob Snow (see his other photos in the Christmas photo album on www.railpac.org ) said he will “ride after Christmas, and his friends have plans to make periodic trips for shopping and lunch in Albuquerque. The park and ride set-up at the second stop south of Santa Fe is excellent. All-in-all,” says Dr. Snow, it “looks like a great achievement. The commerce impact is going to be huge over the next decade and more. They plan to have wireless internet by June.” There are no fares for riders boarding in Santa Fe for the first 90 days, and a round trip ticket ABQ-Santa Fe is only $8, with travel time one hour 20 minutes. (Additional Photos of the Railrunner inaugural train can be seen at http://www.pbase.com/intermodal/2008_december_rail_runner_inaugural_run.)
Amtrak-Caltrans Oakland Maintenance shop, April, 2005, with RailPAC Board members Jenkins, Kerby, and Lloyd on tour.
On November 29 an article in the Sacramento Bee revealed that “California officials have accused Amtrak of neglecting and delaying maintenance on state-owned passenger trains while it pockets extra money fixing private rail cars at an Oakland maintenance center largely built with state taxpayer funds.” The state paid 2/3 of the cost of construction, and Caltrans is now looking at buying it back from Amtrak, which holds the ownership. According to the Bee, That would take at least $18.2 million. Amtrak now manages the facility, too, so another operator would be necessary in the event of a takeover. The state is now paying Amtrak $17 million a year to maintain its fleet of 66 cars. Back in 2007 the Capitol Corridor slapped Amtrak with penalties for missing its maintenance deadlines, which were up to 48 days late. Amtrak of course has denied any wrongdoing. An auditor’s report chastised Caltrans for negotiating terms that “were so weak that California taxpayers’ interests are not properly protected.” This writer has heard rumors of great unrest among Amtrak, Caltrans, and the Capitol Corridor for some time, and I never have understood why the state acceded to Amtrak’s demand to sign over the facility in the first place. RailPAC President Paul Dyson says “the problem goes much deeper. The (former Amtrak President) Kummant philosophy was to shake down the states to boost revenue and grow the business. Unfortunately for him there weren’t any takers except perhaps Illinois. Now California is finally waking up to realize that Amtrak is a vehicle to transfer money to the Northeast Corridor.”

A white woman claims she was subject of a racist attack by three Asian (ie. Pakistani Muslim) men. Photos show stitches to fix her facial and head injuries.
Huddersfield Daily Examiner:
Police are continuing to investigate a report of a racist attack on a woman in Batley.
Last week Nikki Hurst, 32, said she had been attacked by three Asian males when she was walking in Lady Ann Road in Batley.
She said the attack, near to the Mill Village Shopping Complex, happened on October 31 at 6.45am when the men approached her and launched verbal abuse, before pushing her and kicking her.

UAE in focus: UAE snooker player Mohammed Shehab ‘still hungry for success’
Mohammed Shehab made the final of last month’s tournament in Doha, losing 6-2 to Thailand’s Kritsanut Lertsattayathorn. It mirrored his first final appearance in Sri Lanka in 2006, when he also lost to another Thai player, Issara Kachaiwong.
The 40-year-old Emirati won gold at the Asian Indoor Games in Macau in 2006, which he said was the highlight of his playing career, now entering its 22nd year.
Shehab, a major in the Abu Dhabi Police, will shoulder the UAE’s hopes along with his long-time national teammate Mohammed Al Joker in the fifth Asian 6-Red and Teams Championship that gets underway tomorrow at the Novotel Al Bustan Hotel in Abu Dhabi.
The 6-Red is a shorter format of traditional snooker featuring just six red balls, which Shehab has likened to the Twenty20 format in cricket. However, the Teams Championship will be played with the usual 15 red balls.
You have been in the sport for more than two decades. How did it all start for you?
I use to accompany my father (Mustafa Shehab Al Hashemi, a retired general in the Abu Dhabi Police and the tournament director) to the Police Club whenever he practised and played. We also had a snooker table at home and he encouraged and trained me to play at a very young age. When I was growing up I became reasonably good and at 18 I got serious. I almost gave up my education for snooker but my parents insisted my academics was more important, and I thank them for that.
• Five things to do this week: Watch Liverpool in the Europa League final; buy tickets for the F1 Abu Dhabi GP
You turned professional at one point. What happened?
I did try for a year in 2007 but don’t want to go into that again. But it was very costly without the backing of sponsors. I was asked if I want to try pro again soon after I ended runner-up in the Asian Championship last month but I declined. I have to be realistic. I can’t dedicate full time to snooker as I have a job and family to look after.
What would be your objectives as an amateur?
I think I have had some success which I can cherish, like reaching the Asian Championship finals twice winning the Asian Indoor Championship, reaching the semi-finals twice in the World Amateur and representing my country. This is enough for me at my age, but having said that, I’m still hungry for success.
• Amith Passela: Short-format snooker perfect for Emirati Mohammed Shehab Al Hashemi
What are your expectations for this week’s tournament in front of your fans?
The objective, of course, is to win both the individual and team gold. But there are a lot of good players and it’s not easy on this format. Whoever gets the break can clear the table.

Partner Irwin Raij was quoted in a CNBC article, “Does a Sub-$1 Billion Atlanta Hawks Signal a Burst Bubble?” on April 24, 2105. The article discussed the recently announced sale price of the Atlanta Hawks franchise and the overall state of valuations in the National Basketball Association.
Raij was quoted saying, “Eight hundred and fifty million dollars is a good price for this team. Putting it into context, not that long ago you could buy a piece of the Hawks at an enterprise value below $400 million. The price reflects the strength of the NBA product right now and takes into account the national and local media deals and the trend of increasing NBA team valuations.”
