Long-term pancreatic surveillance of high-risk patients identified cancers while they were still resectable, and 85% of such patients remained alive 3 years after diagnosis, researchers reported.
“Among individuals undergoing pancreatic surveillance, specific detectable lesions with worrisome features predicted neoplastic progression. The short-term outcomes of patients with screening-detected PDACs [pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas] improved,” wrote, MHS, of the Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, together with her associates in the September issue of Gastroenterology.
The lifetime risk of PDAC is about 1.5%, the researchers noted. Consequently, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force does not recommend pancreatic surveillance at a population level. However, pancreatic screening is being evaluated for individuals who are at significantly elevated risk of PDAC, including those with at least two first-degree relatives with PDAC or who have germline mutations in BRCA1, BRCA2, PALB2, PRSS1 (hereditary pancreatitis), CDKN2A, MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, PMS2 (Lynch syndrome), or STK11 (Peutz-Jeghers syndrome).
For the study, Dr. Canto and her associates analyzed data from 354 such high-risk individuals enrolled in the(Cancer of the Pancreas Screening) cohort studies, which were conducted at tertiary care academic centers during 1998-2014. All participants underwent endoscopic ultrasound at baseline, followed by surveillance with endoscopic ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, or some combination of these modalities. Patients who developed pancreatic cancer or high-grade dysplasia were offered surgery.
In all, 68 patients (19%) developed pancreatic lesions with worrisome features, such as solid masses, multiple cysts, mural nodules, thickened or enhancing walls, cysts exceeding 3 cm in size or that grew more than 4 mm annually, a greater than 5-mm dilation of the main pancreatic duct, or an abrupt change in duct caliber. The lesions developed over a median of 13.1 months (interquartile range, 0.2-52 months).
A total of 7% of patients had neoplastic progression, including 14 cases of PDAC and 10 cases of high-grade dysplasia. Median times from baseline to detection of PDAC were 4.8 years overall (IQR, 1.6-6.9 years), 1.7 years (IQR, 0.5-4.4 years) among patients aged at least 60 years at baseline, and 5.2 years among younger patients (IQR, 0.4-8 years). Patients developed PDAC at a median of 67 years old.
Among 10 PDACs detected by surveillance, 9 were resectable. Three patients subsequently died of PDAC, while one patient died of complications of gastric cancer surgery. However, 85% of patients survived for at least 3 years after surgical resection of PDAC. The remaining four cases of PDAC were detected outside surveillance or after patients stopped surveillance.
The 10 cases of high-grade dysplasia consisted of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm with high-grade dysplasia or high-grade pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia. Patients whose PDAC or high-grade dysplasia was detected by surveillance survived a median of 5.3 years, while patients whose surveillance was late or stopped and who subsequently developed neoplasia survived a median of only 1.4 years after diagnosis (P less than .0001).
Funders included the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network, Lustgarten Foundation for Pancreatic Cancer Research, the John and Peter Hooven Memorial Endowment, Hugh and Rachel Victor, and ChiRhoClin. Dr. Canto had no disclosures. Three coinvestigators disclosed royalties for licensing of PALB2 as a pancreatic cancer susceptibility gene.

For the past few weeks, the upcoming Hyundai Creta has been the talk of the town. From being observed on roads during pre-launch testing to being teased on the company’s website, the revamped Creta has drawn attention from all directions. Hyundai has now formally released the teaser for the upcoming Creta ahead of its January 16 release.
Since the second generation of the compact SUV was unveiled in February 2020, this is the first significant update to the vehicle. The SUV’s revised exterior design was previously shown in a set of official sketches that the Korean automaker had previously released. The new Creta’s final production design has now been made public by the Korean automaker.

Hyundai Creta facelift for 2024: New styling
The refreshed Creta is in line with Hyundai’s most recent version of its “Sensuous Sportiness” design philosophy and draws design cues from more expensive international vehicles, such as the recently updated Tucson and Santa Fe. The new black chrome parametric grille with vertically stacked twin-LED projector headlamps on either side is the most noticeable design update.
The LED Horizon positioning lamps concealed within the parametric grille are another stylish highlight. Thanks to the fake skid plate, the reprofiled front bumper has a chunky appearance. Aside from a new alloy wheel design, the side profile is essentially unchanged. The linked LED light bar treatment is maintained at the back, but the taillamp has been redesigned with H-shaped LED components.
A sizable silver bash plate with vertical reflector strips on either side is also housed in the rear bumper. In addition, Hyundai will provide six monochromatic and one dual-chromatic color option, which include the following: Fiery Red, Ranger Khaki, Abyss Black, Atlas White, Titan Grey, and Atlas White with Black Roof (dual-tone).
Hyundai Creta facelift in 2024: Refinished interiors
The new Creta’s cabin interiors have undergone a significant makeover, including new upholstery shades, a redesigned HVAC control panel with a new touch panel, and a twin-screen setup for a touchscreen infotainment system and a fully digital instrument console.
An upgraded version of the Hyundai BlueLink App, which boasts 70 connected car features, will also be available for the new Creta. Devices like ambient lighting, dual-zone climate control, powered driver seat, and others are also advantageous. Six airbags, an electronic parking brake, a 360-degree parking camera, ventilated front seats, and Level 2 ADAS active safety features are among the other noteworthy feature additions.

Samsung GDDR5 Memory
Samsung began the week by revealing GDDR5, the latest incarnation of double data rate memory built specifically for video cards. The technology is billed as the fastest memory available of any kind and provides information to a graphics chipset as quickly as 6 gigabits per second -- nearly twice as fast as the 3.2 gigabits found on the more commonly used GDDR3 format, Samsung says. On a typical 512 megabit design with 32 stacked chips, this amounts to 24 gigabytes of bandwidth that the firm claims is enough to play 16 DVD videos at once. This memory is also 20 percent more power-efficient than the earlier graphics technology.
GDDR5 is already in testing and is believed to eventually find its way into upcoming video cards and eventual video game consoles; full-scale production is set for the first half of 2008 and is likely to appear first in very high-end cards such as NVIDIA's GeForce 9 series and future Radeon HD 3000-series cards. More than half of all high-end computer graphics will use GDDR5 by 2010, according to Samsung.

Pilot Jet Screw ? & stuff 03WR450F 160MJ, 48PJ
Posted February 18, 2003 - 04:19 PM
I'm still waiting on my YZ throttle stop screw. The manual refers this as the screw that sets the Idle "Turn the throttle shaft assembly left while holding down the lever 1 5 and fit the throttle stop screw tip d to the stopper e of the throttle shaft assembly pulley." page 4-16. Is that correct? It don't sound right to me. Where is the throttle stop located?
When my PAJ #100 gets in this week I will also put it in. I know I'm changing too many things at the same time, but don't have enough time before first race? Does this look like I'm going in the right direction? Hopefully I will be able to ride Friday! and see what I've done! I'm basically trying to get rid of the off idle bog.

what do ya mean yer in a hurry? you could be running to shoot your own foot off! slow down! test the changes, get a feel for it. who on earth told you to put a 100PAJ in it?
crazy! stick with the 75PAJ it's better and get a 40PJ. oh! and don't take even my word for it. test it first and back to back.

Posted February 20, 2003 - 09:41 PM
I got that from your post in the " Jetting Qs " (http://www.thumperta...er=&postmarker=).
Your last chart read:
" my chart therefore reads;
Is this not a good place to start on this bike?
How do you time the squirt? It looks to me like it just squirts as you turn the throttle and the adjustment just controls the amount of gas coming out.
Posted February 20, 2003 - 09:45 PM
Posted February 21, 2003 - 02:23 PM
waht pairing i feel you should use is another. anyway let's chillout coz you certainly don't deserve our wrath individually.
just to cut things short and real simple.
the PJ/PAJ ratio is only about 20% of idle. it's there for 20 mph in 4th gear and snapping the throttle.
a needle that reads well over 'M' for sea level and 'P' for altitude to keep the 'fat' in the hole and run it lean will need lots of help from the pilot circuit to 'juice it up'. thus the high numbers you inevitably employ.
i'm guestimating here but a typical scenario at sea level is 'P' needle (as in EKP) and 42/45 PJ.
on mine it would be a thinner 'M' needle and 35PJ and a nice middle one would be EMN and 38/40 PJ.
now the difference at tickover is diddly-squeek but when you roll that throttle in fourth at 20mph we are now on the pilot circuit.
now we can have a rich mixture or a leaner but correct mixture. it's up to you. so always pick your PC jets in the ratio i suggest but go lean and take the richer needle straight.
having ridden no higher than 1,000ft in my life i can only take hicks word for it but some of the 10,000ft boys are on a **Q needle and nice 35 or 38 PJ's.
the squirt should be as short as is humanly possible, BTW 1 second is the minimum before the system refuses to function properly.
Posted February 21, 2003 - 03:49 PM
Yesterday I changed the stock needle (OBDUT-4) from 4 to 5th from top. I changed the squirt 1/2 turn shorter from stock (Seems to be right at 1 second), and set the Jet screw 1-1/2 turns out (stock was 2). It ran good but had the off idle bog (2nd gear about 10mph) and backfired while in neutral while goosing it.
Today, Replaced the stock needle with 5TA-14916-JN-00 (#NDJN) (YZ-450F 2003). Left all else alone. Backfire in neutral gone, OFF IDLE BOG GONE I have always ran the 160 MJ, 48 PJ, 70 PAJ and am at 800 ft. very humid.
If it quits raining I'm track ready now. Need to test at greater speeds and conditions. While writing this I remembered I had to turn that ignition off. Ha, I didn't mean to offend anyone, I guess I didn't understand those were ratios, sorry! Can you explain the ratios?
48/110-125 ?48PJ =110-125 is this a % of something?
Taffy, I read all your posts in the jetting Q's with open eyes, you took great pains, I just did't understand everything.
Posted February 21, 2003 - 11:37 PM
so you see you're closer than you think!
the 48PJ/100-125 PAJ implies that the amount of air and fuel is so high as to barely be worth recording the difference.
now you've got a thinner needle in you can afford to go to lower PC ratios so start work now!
you'll be good for a PAS and a ratio of 40PJ and 75 (or 70 PAJ!)PAS.
Posted February 22, 2003 - 08:29 PM
Posted February 23, 2003 - 10:22 AM
48PJ/100-125. I am pretty sure the 48PJ stands for 48 pilot jet but I dont know what the rest of it refers to.
What is PC and PC ratios
What is a PAS
Does 75(or70 PAJ!)PAS refer to what the manual refers to as a starter Jet
Can the blip of throttle low end bog be cured with a accelerator pump screw adjustment and pilot jet adjustment or is the BK mod and all that just about required to cure the bog.
Posted February 23, 2003 - 12:04 PM
The "PC" is the pilot circuit. Folks usually refer to the carb having 3 different "circuits"...a low speed pilot circuit, a midrange (controlled predominantly by the needle taper and clip position), and the top end (controlled predominantly by the main jet).
What he was referring to by the 100-125 was the pilot AIR jet. There are a few combinations of pilot jets/pilot air jets that seem to work well...and he's stating that the 48PJ works well with a pilot air jet in the range of 100 - 125.
The PAS is an adjustable pilot air jet (known as the pilot air screw). It can be purchased at Sudco for about $15 and can be adjusted to provide you with a pilot air jet range of somewhere around 50 up through 125 based on the number of turns out from fully seated that the pilot air screw is set to. Good purchase for you to make, since you'll never need to buy another pilot air jet.
The starter jet is a completely separate jet used to squirt additional fuel into the carb throat during startup...not used for anything else. Some folks have changed the starter jet from the stock one and have noticed some improvements in "start-ability".
To cure your low end bog, you should both jet your bike correctly AND do the accelerator pump mod...or atleast verify that it's currently squirting fuel for about 0.5 secs. Most bikes "off the shelf" have been known to have upwards of 3 secs squirt duration...way too much fuel than what is required...and thus, folks do the mod to eliminate the hesitation from being way too rich for those few seconds.
Finally, some camps go with the larger PJ/PAJ ratios for tractor like torque. Others go with the smaller PJ's/PAJ ratios for a "snappier" throttle response. As long as your PC ratio and needle diameter are close to being matched, you're bike will run well off the line.
Hope this helps...

New legislation was passed by Government in July to speed up the process of securing a licence for outdoor seating for businesses welcoming customers back after lockdown.
Stafford Borough Council approved its own pavement licence policy in late July.
The authority is charging £100 per licence to help meet the costs of administering the scheme – but other councils such as Cannock Chase and Newcastle Borough have waived the fee.
Jonathan Price, Stafford Borough Council’s cabinet member for environment, said: “The hospitality industry has been hit very hard in the last few months and the use of pavements for cafes, bars and restaurants has assumed a new importance given the evidence of a lower risk of spreading coronavirus outdoors.
“We hope this new legislation will provide the opportunity to some of those businesses to utilise space outside to attract more customers – especially given the constraints still in place to prevent the spread of the virus.”
So far nine businesses have applied for pavement licences in Stafford Borough – and all nine bids have proved successful. Five Stafford businesses have now been given the go-ahead to introduce outdoor seating and tables, with a further three in Stone and one in Eccleshall.

Utila Fort is a small fort in the Utila village located in the Gwalior district of Madhya Pradesh. The village is distanced 20 kilometres east from the city of Gwalior on the Gwalior-Hastinapur-Behat road. The fort, also known as "Ranaon ki Garhi" that literally means the "Fort of the Ranas (rulers)", was constructed around 1740 by Maharaja Bhim Singh Rana. He was the Jat ruler of the erstwhile princely state of Gohad. The geographical coordinates of Utila Fort are 26 degree 9'48.44" N and 78 degree 19'59.11" E.
History of the Utila Fort
Utila Fort was erected by the Gohad rulers for the purpose of providing protection and central defense to the Gohad Fort. The military troops that were stationed in the fort used to communicate with the Singhpur Fort by sending light signals. These signals were then transmitted from the Singhpur Fort to Behat Fort and Gohad Fort. The Jat rulers of Gohad were in constant warfare with the Maratha Scindias, because of which these forts were of immense importance to them.
Structure of Utila Fort
The fort is situated on a hillock and is guarded by a deep trench which surrounds it. There are four high towers or burj surrounding the fort, the architecture of which reflects the defense strategy and architectural skills of the Gohad Jat rulers.

Penguins may be more closely associated with Antarctica than Australia, but a small town in northern Tasmanian is on a mission to change that. Named for the little penguin rookeries in the area, Penguin is home to nearly 4000 people as well as the birds. Most of them were indoors as we rolled into the town, thanks to the spectacularly Antarctic weather that greeted us – think high winds and raging seas. Nevertheless, the proliferation of penguin paintings and seabird-themed shop names assured us we were in the right place. From the Penguin Taxi Service, to the black and white sculpture waving from the roof of the general store, everything centred around the small aquatic flightless birds.
There was even a “Penguin Butcher,” which, we were glad to learn, does not condone the slaughter of sea birds. Instead, the whole town are wholeheartedly behind their namesake – so much so, that they even have a penguin mascot. The Big Penguin was erected by the shore in 1975, to celebrate the town’s centenary. At 3m tall, “Rebeakah,” as the statue is named, is proudly known as the “biggest penguin in the world.”
Rebeakah is also a top contender for the most stylish penguin in the world, and not because of her black and white colouring that resembles a tuxedo. She has been known to don a super-penguin outfit, complete with “S” on her chest, and masquerades as Santa Claus in the lead up the Christmas each year – the local schoolchildren measured the 3m bird and sewed a custom red suit for the purpose.
Once we’d ducked out of the storm and found some locals, they were quick to share such stories. Their favourite was the day in 2010 that wedding bells rung out. That’s right – in case you were eyeing up the shapely form of the Penguin penguin and thinking of asking her out for a plate of fish, it’s too late – Rebeakah is already married. The lucky groom is also a penguin sculpture, known as Fisher, and he lives across the street. Dudley Corbett, who oversaw the service between the two, spoke of “the rights of all beings to be happy… even inanimate objects.” There’s certainly more than a trace of a grin on the Big Penguin’s beak.
When we entered “Penguin” into the GPS, we were expecting feathers and fish – seabird nuptials, however, were much more than any of us had bargained for. That’s the thing with these small towns, dotted around the fringes of faraway places; you never quite know what you’re going to get until you actually brave the storms and turn up to have a look for yourself.

The US military’s most expensive fighter jet, the F-35 entered service in 2015 but reportedly still faces a whole array of issues that could either put the lives of pilots at risk or jeopardise missions.
Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk has asserted that the state-of-the-art F-35 US warplane “would have no chance against” a remote-controlled unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV).
“The competitor should be a drone fighter plane that’s remotely controlled by a human, but with its manoeuvres augmented by autonomy,” the SpaceX founder and Tesla chief executive tweeted on Friday.
The competitor should be a drone fighter plane that’s remote controlled by a human, but with its maneuvers augmented by autonomy. The F-35 would have no chance against it.
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) February 28, 2020
The remark came after Lee Hudson, Pentagon editor for Aviation Week magazine, cited Musk as saying during a recent United States Air Force (USAF) conference that the fighter jet era has passed.
On her Twitter page, she questioned if Musk’s claims mean that “we need to rethink NGAD (Next Generation Air Dominance program pertaining to a future US sixth-generation air superiority fighter to replace the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet)”.
When asked during the USAF conference whether he had “any innovative ideas about how aerial combat could be revolutionised”, Musk prompted “murmurs and laughter” by arguing it’s already pointless to talk the “fighter jet era”, according to Defence News.
“Locally autonomous drone warfare is where it’s at, where the future will be,” Musk said. “It’s not that I want the future to be this, that’s just what the future will be. […] The fighter jet era has passed. Yeah, the fighter jet era has passed. It’s drones,” he claimed.
As far as the F-35 fighter jet is concerned, this fifth-generation stealth fighter jet is believed to be the most expensive warplane in history, with the budget for the plane’s programme surpassing $1 trillion.
Even so, the aircraft reportedly continues to face more than a dozen issues that could put the lives of pilots at risk. Documents obtained by Defence News indicate that some F-35 pilots, particular, experience cabin pressure spikes which give them ear and sinus pain, while the jet receives structural damage at speeds beyond Mach 1.2 and has problems operating in areas with cold weather.

From Publishers Weekly
The title of this engaging manifesto/memoir is taken from a Starbucks memo (thoughtfully reprinted) instructing employees on how to deal with its protagonist and author, New York City's most visible anti-shopping provocateur, "Reverend Billy." The reverend is, after all, the sort of person who, accompanied by his "devotees," might interrupt the gentle slurping of Mocha Frappuccinos with an impromptu discussion and preach-in, and perhaps a hymn or two. Starbucks's advice boils down to "try and ignore him," but the good reverend makes such an undertaking difficult. Combining the situational flair of Abbie Hoffman with an evangelist's tireless zeal, Reverend Billy's efforts against mindless consumerism and corporate greed have adding the oxygen of publicity to the flames of a number of worthy causes, as well as reintroducing a much-needed sense of fun to Manhattan's somber and overregulated plazas. One of the keys to the success of Talen's creation is reflected in the book's good-natured tone. Unlike many recent political tomes both right and left, Talen's account of his alter ego's pilgrimage is evenhanded and reflective and remarkably free of the rancor that poisons so much public debate. Reverend Billy was not born overnight, and Talen is candid and un-self-righteous about the ethical and moral considerations that accompanied both his emergence and career. Talen never confuses the employee with the corporation or mere disruption with thoughtful protest, and the discipline and inventiveness of his crusade demonstrates that sometimes the absurdities of power are best undercut with absurdity, and greed with generosity.

Gray County District Attorney Lynn Switzer told the judge Monday morning new DNA evidence was taking longer than expected to process. So the state is now shipping that evidence to a private lab where they expect results to come back within five to six business days. King's defense team wanted to make sure they knew the results of the DNA testing before beginning the trial. That's why Judge Steven Emmert granted them a motion for continuance. King is accused of killing a Pampa family in their rural Texas home back in 2005.
The trial is now set to start as soon as those DNA results come in. They're expected early next week.

The locked door to the unit, they said, could only be opened remotely by an officer in the jail’s control center, plus there was a second locked door to which only correctional officers assigned to the high-security housing unit had the key. Epstein had no roommate, they said, and had died alone.
No matter. Social media buzzed with “Epstein didn’t kill himself” memes, fueled by the financier’s past associations with Britain’s Prince Andrew and U.S. presidents Bill Clinton and Donald Trump…
Eric Oliver, a University of Chicago professor who studies conspiracy theories, said no amount of evidence presented by government authorities is likely to change some people’s minds.
“When there’s already this kind of profound mistrust of the political system, of political institutions, of the media, any kind of official channel that seeks to overturn this belief is likely to be viewed with suspicion,” he said.

I am a travel photographer. A vegan. A passionate EV driver. In love with the Fiat 500e. A Nomad. From UK, now living in Italy.
Planning a photo tour
Working as a travel photographer for 15 years, I know how time consuming it can be to organise and plan a photo trip. It can take many weeks to find the best spots, parking, directions, tide times, best light time etc etc.
We are the "Vegan EV Travellers"!
Please follow our travel journal of our 5 months photo tour in an electrical Fiat 500ewith live tracking here:
This online photo guide is anything but complete in terms what Saxony has to offer. It should give you only an impression of the different ideas. For your individual self-drive guide we can work out your favourite spots in Saxony, Germany.
If you are interested in a self-drive photo tour, I can tailor a tour for you.
A perfect view of the Bastei Bridge - the famous rock formation plus spectacular stone bridge which is a landmark of the Elb Sandstone Mountains, you are getting from the Ferdinandstein, a short and easy walk (15 mins and not steep) from the car park.
819 steps will guide you on the top of the Pfaffenstein plus view to the Barbarine (a rock pinnacle). But don't worry about the steps. You will stop every other minute for taking photos, it is the most scenic hike in that area.
Wait for an early morning with mist to take the Wehlnadel (the pinnacle) in the foreground and the Bastei Bridge in the background. It is a walk of approx. 20 mins, mostly flat, from the main Bastei car park.


The cast also includes Nick Offerman, Megan Mullally, Alison Brie, Mary Lynn Rajskub, Erin Moriarty, Marc Evan Jackson, Thomas Middleditch and Tony Hale.
Announcing the pick-up, Scott Shooman of CBS Films stated: “While comparisons to movies like Stand By Me and The Goonies are inevitable, we found Toy’s House to be a fresh, funny and heartwarming story that is a loving throwback for a new generation.”
And director Vogt-Roberts said, “Toy’s House couldn’t have found a better home than with CBS Films. We set out to make a comedy that was hilarious and full of heart – but most importantly we set out to make a comedy that was engaging. CBS Films is so passionate about this movie and share my thoughts that comedy can be poignant and beautiful. The response at Sundance has been overwhelming and I can’t wait for CBS Films to share Toy’s House with audiences everywhere.”
Toy’s House follows three teenage boys (Robinson, Basso and Arias) as they head into the wilderness with a plan to build a house and live off the land.

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the second woman to serve on the Supreme Court, died on Friday from complications of metastatic cancer of the pancreas. She was at her home in Washington, D.C., surrounded by her family, according to the court.
“Our nation has lost a justice of historic stature,” Chief Justice John Roberts said in a statement. “We at the Supreme Court have lost a cherished colleague. Today we mourn but with confidence that future generations will remember Ruth Bader Ginsburg as we knew her, a tried and resolute champion of justice.”
Ginsburg was the most senior liberal justice on the nine-member court and a feminist icon. Her court collar has been made into buttons. Her face is emblazoned on baby onesies. Her fans call her “the Notorious RBG.”
“People ask me sometimes, when — when do you think it will be enough?” Ginsburg told PBS in a 2015 interview. “When will there be enough women on the court? And my answer is when there are nine.”
Her death, just 46 days before the general election, raises the stakes in both the presidential race and more than a dozen competitive U.S. Senate races throughout the country.
Ginsburg, despite battling repeated bouts of cancer, had said she would not retire from her lifetime appointment to the court, a move meant to deny Republican President Donald Trump the opportunity to fill another court vacancy.
Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said on Friday that Trump’s replacement nominee would receive a vote on the Senate floor.
McConnell’s statement appeared to backtrack on moves he made after the 2016 death of Justice Antonin Scalia, a conservative icon. Scalia died 269 days before that year’s presidential election. Then, McConnell blocked the chamber from voting on President Barack Obama’s pick, appeals court judge Merrick Garland.
At the time, McConnell said that there was precedent that Supreme Court vacancies should not be filled in the run up to an election, which he attributed to now Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, who chaired the Senate Judiciary Committee in the 1990s during the presidency of George H.W. Bush. Biden floated the idea in 1992 but it was never tested because no subsequent court vacancy occurred during Bush’s presidency.
A potential vacancy on the Supreme Court has already become an issue in the 2020 election, with Trump releasing his latest list of potential nominees last week and Democrats increasingly focused on the impact the presidential and Senate elections may have on the court’s ideological balance.
The political implications of Ginsburg’s passing now leave little room to mark her legacy. It was a reaction the justice seemed to have anticipated, reportedly dictating to her granddaughter, Clara Spera, in a statement days before her death: “My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed.”
Ginsburg was born in Brooklyn, New York, on March 15, 1933. She graduated from Cornell University, Harvard Law School and Columbia Law School. She married Martin Ginsburg in 1954. They have a daughter, Jane, and a son, James.
“Justice Ginsburg paved the way for so many women, including me. There will never be another like her. Thank you RBG,” former Secretary of State and 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton wrote on Twitter.

This might seem like a weird request, I’m a little bit of a weirdo, but I would like to be able to run Quoth with Copper and Progs_Dump. Is there a mod that combines all three? If not, this may just be a pipe dream, but maybe someone can make a mod that combines all three. If there isn’t an interest in combining the three mods into one package, is there a way to run all three mods at the same time without any conflicts. Please help, I appreciate it.
In Quake, you can not combine mods like you can do for example in GZDoom (in many cases), because every Quake mod has its own compiled QuakeC game code (progs.dat file). The only way to combine mods is to get their respecive QuakeC sources and merge them together yourself (nobody is ever going to do it), which is probably not impossible but not worth the effort - every mod team/author make decisions on how they code something, and even the similar functionality might be coded differently in these mods, not to mention that every mod has its own unique features.

El Paso's Triple-A Chihuahuas unveil new jerseys, logo for 2019 All-Star season
The Chihuahuas continue to work hard at offering El Pasoans fun.
The Chihuahuas, now preparing for their sixth season of Triple-A baseball in the Pacific Coast League, unveiled some new jerseys that will be worn by the team this spring in the 2019 season.
The most fetching is easily the howling dog logo that will be on the front of some jerseys, a logo of a howling Chihuahua that simply beckons fun by its mere appearance.
"In our sixth season, the All-Star season, it was time to add to the iconic family of Chihuahuas logos," senior vice president and general manager Brad Taylor said. "These logos embody the fun we and the community associate with Chihuahua baseball. We are also proud to add the Star on the Mountain to our primary road jersey."
Taylor's All-Star season reference alludes to the Triple-A Baseball All-Star game that will be at Southwest University Park in July. The home run derby will be on a Monday night, July 8, and the All-Star game will be on a Wednesday night, July 10.
The entire Chihuahua brand of merchandise has been enormously successful, the team has been successful on the playing field and the Chihuahua baseball franchise has been a huge hit in El Paso.
"We still have the number one apparel brand in all of minor league baseball — number one among all 160 minor league teams," Taylor said. "We have also been successful on the field with four division championships in five years. And 2.2 million fans have come to our games over the past five seasons ... 500,000 fans a season."
The Chihuahuas also said they will continue their nod to the past by continuing Diablo Wednesdays. They unveiled a more modern Diablo jersey, circa 1999, with purple and teal mingled with the Diablo red.
The team's next announcement most likely will be to name a new field manager. Rod Barajas, the Chihuahua manager in 2016, 2017 and 2018, has been named bench coach for the San Diego Padres. Barajas managed the Chihuahuas to division championships all three years and led the club to the 2016 Pacific Coast League championship.
The Chihuahuas also announced their 2019 schedule. They will open the season at home, hosting Las Vegas in a five-game series April 4-8. Their final homestand will be an 11-day affair, Aug. 19-29, against Fresno, Sacramento and Salt Lake. They close the regular season on the road at Sacramento on Sept. 2.
The Chihuahuas bring minor league baseball at its highest level to El Pasoans and more than 30 former Chihuahuas have now played for the parent club, the San Diego Padres.
And next up is soccer.
The El Paso Locomotives will begin soccer play on the Southwest University Park playing field in March.
In the meantime, though, the Chihuahuas are working hard at their primary goal — bringing good baseball, family fun and a howling Chihuahua to beautiful Southwest University Park.

Every Friday I feel so happy and fresh and wonderful and… I can go on and on simply because I have a whole weekend to do what ever I want! Yay!!! Party poopers emoticon!
What I want to do every weekend, besides relaxing, drinking, partying (joking, I mostly watch TV series), is many things, many ‘selfie’ private things, things you do in your free time as a girl. Fix my eyebrows, do my nails… that sort of thing. Every single time my top priority is to experiment with make-up. It might sound a bit shallow… Isn’t there anything else to do? Really Xeni? Like, read an effing book for example? (and there are so many books I want and have to read) I am not shallow. I am just a girl; make up is girly and needs practice so you can understand where I’m coming from. No?
So, these MAC make up pictures from Milan Fashion Week A/W 2014 are my inspiration for this weekend and I intend to try them. All. And maybe do a bit more of an eccentric look, besides it is the last weekend of the carnival in Greece right? In between my ‘make up’ sessions I am gonna start reading a book too. There you go. I feel much better with myself now.
Enjoy the long weekend and cheerio. See you next week.

Kerin Narcisse said the balloon had missed two of its landing sites before crash-landing into a San Diego backyard. Thirteen people were on board the balloon when it crashed, but only one person suffered an injury.
Kerin said the trip was "nerve-whacking" and her husband, Jonathan, is scared of heights.
"It was an experience in the air, but we were grounded very quickly," she said.

KaMMCO Health Solutions Introduces Analytic Tools to Support Physicians, Hospitals in Transition to New CMS Payment Models
Topeka, KS, January 18, 2017 (Newswire.com) - Thousands of healthcare providers across the country ring in 2017 facing new challenges in meeting CMS’ Quality Payment Program expectations in transitioning to a higher quality patient-centered care model. Thanks to KaMMCO Health Solutions, healthcare providers subscribing to a newly released analytic tool will be well-positioned to access patients’ longitudinal medical records and use the information to favorably impact patients’ care and community health.
KaMMCO Health Solutions (KHS), a subsidiary of the Kansas Medical Mutual Insurance Company (KaMMCO), and the Kansas Health Information Network (KHIN), one of the most successful health information exchanges in the nation, have announced the release of an innovative suite of analytic products and services that Kansas physicians, hospitals, and other healthcare professionals can turn to as they transition to the new era of Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) and other Alternative Payment Models (APMs) related to MACRA. The physician-driven technology development reflects a year of research and the creative input of nine pilot organizations including physician groups and regional hospitals.
The KHS analytics dashboard tool is a real game-changer, For the first time physicians and hospitals will be able to access advanced analytics utilizing clinical data, across all HIE participating providers from whom a patient has received care.
Laura McCrary, Ed. D, Senior Vice President, KaMMCO Health Solutions
“The KHS analytics dashboard tool is a real game-changer,” stated Dr. Laura McCrary, Ed.D, Executive Director of KHIN and KHS Senior Vice President. “For the first time physicians and hospitals will be able to access advanced analytics utilizing clinical data, across all HIE participating providers from whom a patient has received care. Clinicians who use the KHS dashboards will be able to proactively manage the care of their patients in ways that have not been readily available before.”
In preliminary testing of the new analytic tool that delivers web-based dashboards, Joe Davison, MD, West Wichita Family Physicians, P.A., Wichita, KS, reports, “Isolating this kind of health information, using the right technology at the right time is a hugely powerful tool.” He explained, “For example, I can look at my patient population and see those patients who are in trouble. I may not have known they were in trouble, but when I look at the analytic reports that represent my panel of patients, I see I have a certain number of patients who have poor to no control of their diabetes. I can identify those patients; I can extract a list of those patients, and then I can act on that information.”
The High Risk Patient, Preventive Care, Readmissions and Disease Registry reports are foundational elements of the dashboard package. Healthcare providers and hospital teams subscribing to the web-based analytics can access the aggregated clinical data, run and view reports derived from the patient data in the health information exchange, as well as download and import the data into other software tools. The dashboards present report details in a dynamic way, allowing the authorized user to manipulate the view of the data and isolate key data points. The dashboard displays will not only prove extremely helpful to providers in the CMS payment model transition, but will have a favorable impact to managing patient care.
Utilization of the KHS analytic tool and web-based dashboards is expected to be one solution to assist physicians in delivering higher quality, more efficient, and less expensive patient care. Employing the “right” technology at the right time will enhance and smooth what is expected to be a bumpy transition into the new performance-based payment world.

Audi AG (AUDVF) took the wraps off its latest electric model at the Geneva Motor Show on Tuesday. The Audi e-tron Q4 Concept is a preview of a compact all-electric crossover SUV that the company expects to put into production next year.
This could be a big deal. By showing the Q4 Concept now, Audi establishes a baseline that the 800-pound gorilla of electric-car mindshare, Tesla (TSLA -1.36%), will have to match or beat when it presents its Model Y compact crossover later this month.
Here's what we know.
What it is: An upscale electric crossover SUV
If you know your Audis, you might have guessed from its name that the e-tron Q4 Concept is a two-row electric crossover SUV one size down from Audi's first premium electric SUV, the e-tron.
It's a dual-motor all-wheel-drive design with an 82 kilowatt-hour battery pack that seems to be optimized for range rather than "ludicrous" acceleration. Audi said the e-tron Q4 Concept will accelerate from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour (62 miles per hour) in 6.3 seconds -- reasonably quick, but not Tesla-quick. But it will have a rated range of over 450 kilometers (about 280 miles) on the new, strict WLTP European test standard, the company said.
Inside, the vehicle's long wheelbase (and the flat floor that its electric drivetrain allows) gives it more space than its exterior dimensions would suggest. In what is becoming a trend with electric vehicles, Audi selected sustainable materials for the e-tron Q4 Concept's interior: Painted trim rather than chrome, recycled materials in the carpet, and seats upholstered in Alcantara (a suede-like microfiber fabric) instead of leather.
Interestingly, it doesn't share the bigger e-tron's underpinnings. Instead, it'll be the first Audi to be built on corporate parent Volkswagen AG's (VWAGY -0.31%) MEB architecture, a modular set of components designed to be shared widely among the company's electric vehicles in an effort to reduce costs and time to market. That should make the production version more profitable for Audi, more cost-competitive, or both.
Audi said that it will launch the production version of the e-tron Q4 in the second half of 2020.
Why it's important: Audi is tackling Tesla head-on
Sorry, Tesla fans, this isn't vaporware. Believe it or not, the production version of the Q4 e-tron Concept will be Audi's fifth battery-electric model when it arrives in 2020. It'll follow the original e-tron crossover SUV (first deliveries later this month), the e-tron Sportback (due later this year), a smaller crossover called the e-tron Q2L that was designed specifically for China (also due later this year), and the high-performance e-tron GT sports sedan (due in 2020). By 2025, Audi plans to have 12 all-electric models in production covering "every relevant market segment from the compact class to the luxury class." It expects that electric models will account for about a third of its global sales by that time.
Of more immediate import, Audi has now thrown a gauntlet. This is a close preview of the vehicle it will use to challenge Tesla's Model Y, starting late next year. Tesla might have its small crossover SUV in production sooner, but potential Model Y buyers now know that Audi will have something in the same class -- something with a nice interior and a dealer network that can get parts in days rather than months, something that will be fully tested prior to launch -- before long.
Who's disrupting who? We'll see.

Auburn Crane & Rigging, Auburn, New York, has signed an order for a Demag AC 250-5 all terrain crane, the first Demag crane sold to the United States since the relaunch of the brand at bauma. Auburn made the purchase through Terex authorized distributor Empire Crane Co., LLC., based in Syracuse, New York. “We have always been impressed by the service support and relationship we have with Terex and Empire. The Demag AC 250-5 will be a great addition to our fleet,” said Steve Bilinski, owner of Auburn Crane & Rigging.
The Demag AC 250-5 all terrain crane is the most compact unit in its capacity class with a total length of just 47.6 ft long, a carrier width of 9.8 ft and is in the 300 USt capacity class. Its single engine concept reduces operational cost and maintenance by using an intelligent motor management system to deliver the precise amount of power needed for lifting operations and while transporting the crane. The AC 250-5 has excellent maneuverability with all-axle steering, independent rear axle steering and dynamic launch control. It can also be outfitted with the optional IC-1 Plus control system, which calculates lifting capacities for every position of the boom subject to the slewing angle of the superstructure. This enables you to use your maximum lifting capacity especially when lifting over the outriggers.

OLYMPIA — State lawmakers may bemoan a proliferation of specialty license plates but they continue to be a popular way for car owners to support their favorite causes.
Residents shell out millions of dollars each year on plates with the money spent on such things as services for children, veterans and law enforcement families, college scholarships and wildlife protection, bike safety and music education programs.
Sponsors of 17 plate designs launched since 2004 collected roughly $1.9 million between July 2010 and December 2011 from sales, according to the draft of a Department of Licensing report going to lawmakers next week.
“I think they’re working,” said agency spokesman Brad Benfield. “They’re not a bonanza for anybody. A lot of them raise $100,000 to $200,000 and that’s nothing to sneeze at.”
Sales of the Share the Road plate provided $104,902 to the Bicycle Alliance of Washington in the 2011 calendar year, according to the report.
“It is a critical and stable funding source,” said Executive Director Barb Chamberlain, adding the amount represented about 10 percent of the organization’s annual budget.
Most of the money went into conducting road safety education programs throughout the state while about a quarter went to fundraising for the group.
Plates also serve as a “moving billboard” for their driver education efforts, she said.
The Department of Fish and Wildlife generated close to $500,000 in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2011, from sales of the wildlife-themed plates it sponsors, according to the draft report.
Those driving around with a deer, elk, bear, eagle or orca on their license plates are helping fund protection of wildlife and maintaining trails as well as capturing and monitoring wolves and big game.
“Any funding of this sort is essential to rounding out the work that we do,” said Eric Gardner, the agency’s wildlife diversity division manager.
In the same fiscal year, the state Department of Veteran Affairs reported sales of its Armed Forces Collection — which offer plates for each branch of the military — netted $370,211 for an array of services for soldiers and their families.
Other tallies in the report include:
•$267,813 for the Behind the Badge Foundation from sales of the Law Enforcement Memorial plate. The money aids families of officers killed or seriously injured in the line of duty;
$113,355 for the Washington State Council of Fire Fighters Benevolent Fund, which aids professional firefighters and their families;
$105,515 for the Lighthouse Environmental Programs, an organization focused on restoration and preservation of lighthouses;
$36,899 for scholarships through the Gonzaga University Alumni Association.
The report, which will go to the Joint Transportation Committee of the Legislature Wednesday, is required under a 2003 law which gave lawmakers a direct hand in approving new specialty plates.
But the report only tells part of the story because it does not include plates issued before the law took effect. Among those are the most popular specialty plates on the road — those for the state’s six public four-year universities. Those plates have been generating money for scholarship funds since the mid-’90s.
For some it’s a big deal.
Take Washington State University. There were 3,454 WSU plates sold and 18,199 renewed between July 1, 2011 and June 30, 2012, according to Department of Licensing records. That alone brought in more than $500,000 for scholarships.
The report also excludes other specialty plates created before 2003, including some that are free and reserved for qualified recipients such as disabled drivers, survivors of the Pearl Harbor attack and those awarded a Purple Heart or Medal of Honor.

Zainab Ahmed, the Minister of Finance, Budget, and National Planning, voiced her objections to the Central Bank of Nigeria’s redesign of some naira notes.
The CBN stated on Wednesday that the newly redesigned N100, N200, N500, and N1000 notes would go into circulation on December 15.
The move, according to CBN Governor Godwin Emefiele, was made to combat terrorism financing and public hoarding of banknotes because figures showed that over 85 per cent of the currency in circulation was not stored in commercial banks’ vaults.
But on Friday, Ahmed, claimed that her ministry was not contacted before the CBN’s decision and cautioned that the new strategy may have negative effects on the naira’s exchange rate with other currencies.
During the 2023 budget defense session, the minister spoke in response to inquiries from the Senate Committee on Finance.
Just two days after the CBN announced its new policy, Senator Michael Opeyemi Bamidele (APC, Ekiti), said that its impacts on the value of the naira relative to the US dollar were already being felt.
He said, “Just two days after the announcement of the policy, value of Naira to a US dollar has risen from N740 to N788 to a US dollar due to rush in exchange of starched naira notes for foreign currencies, particularly US dollars.
“To me, the policy may be a well-conceived one, but the timing, going by realities on ground, is very wrong as the naira may fall to as low as N1,000 to a US dollar before January 31, 2023 fixed for full implementation of the policy.”
Ahmed, responding to that said she was not aware of the policy but only heard of it from the media.
“Distinguished senators, we were not consulted at the Ministry of Finance by CBN on the planned naira redesigning and cannot comment on it as regards merits or otherwise.
“However as a Nigerian privileged to be at the top of Nigeria’s fiscal management, the policy, as rolled out at this time, portends serious consequences on value of naira to other foreign currencies.
“I will, however, appeal to this committee to invite the CBN governor for required explanations as regards merits of the planned policy and rightness or otherwise of its implementation now,” she said.

More needs to change to tackle lack of housing
Today, Prime Minister Theresa May made a speech to the National Planning Conference in which she said the existing National Planning Policy Framework will be overhauled.
Dr Quintin Bradley, Senior Lecturer in Planning and Housing at Leeds Beckett University, has reacted to the implementation of the measures but said more fundamental things need to change in order to solved the problem.
“I am pleased to see the Government is taking action on the country’s lack of homes. Having more houses would be fantastic, but this is only part of the problem. The new method of calculating housing need wrongly assumes that an increase in housing supply will lead to fall in house prices; we all know it doesn’t work like that because there is a global market for housing as an investment, not a home, and land prices are rising faster than housing prices.
“Additionally, an increase in planning permissions does not lead to more homes being built – there are already permissions for almost 500,000 homes that developers have not built. Developers should not be able to get round planning policy by claiming that it is not financially viable for them to comply with it. The new proposals make financial viability assessments public but that will make little difference.
“The biggest failing is that most investment in affordable housing is going to home ownership – which is simply not affordable. We need to go back to building for social rent – with rent levels based on average earnings. That’s the only we can begin to get a handle on tackling this growing problem.”
Dr Quintin Bradley is a Senior Lecturer in Planning and Housing at Leeds Beckett University, and leads research into community engagement in planning with a particular focus on issues of housing supply and housing policy.
