Samuel Gregg, Tea Party Catholic: The Catholic Case for Limited Government, a Free Economy, and Human Flourishing, New York, Crossroad Publishing, 2013, 260 pages.
The title of this book, The Tea Party Catholic, suggests the book is about politics. The subtitle shows the author is writing about the principles of politics not the day-by-day parade of politicians and their supporters. Still, why on The Main Event would I write about a political subject? After all, the focus of The Main Event is on the conflict between reason and mysticism, which is an epistemological issue. My hope in reading this book was to see at what point, if any, the Catholic author would resort to mysticism in his argument for "limited government, a free economy, and human flourishing."
As usual, the following is a collection of notes rather than a formal review of the book.
AUTHOR'S PURPOSE. The writer of the Foreword, Michael Novak, says "Gregg means to foster three world-transformative ideas: limited government, religious liberty, and economic liberty." (p. 1)
Gregg himself distinguishes the "free enterprise Catholics" from other supporters of "free enterprise." In particular Gregg disavows "people like the pro-capitalist but militantly-atheistic philosopher Ayn Rand." He says, "[t]he Catholic case for limited government, the free economy, and religious liberty is very different from that of many self-described libertarians, let alone Randians." (p. 22) The key difference, Gregg says, is that the Catholic argument for free enterprise holds that free enterprise permits human flourishing, that is, "the excellence that every person is capable of realizing through the reasonable use of their freedom—an excellence rooted in our very nature as the imago Dei [image of God]: a being called to freely embrace all those goods that make us flourish precisely as human beings rather than embrace mediocrity." (p.23)
Explaining the nature and scope of these freedoms to Catholics—indeed anyone interested in understanding distinctly Catholic as well as particular natural law arguments for economic liberty and limited government—is this book's purpose. (p. 28)
AUTHOR. Samuel Gregg left his native Australia to obtain a doctorate at Oxford University. There he worked under the supervision of John Finnis, an expert on natural law. (p. 1) Moving to the USA in 2001, Gregg began writing a series of books which "steadily established his leadership" in the movement working for three interconnected ideas: limited government, economic freedom; and religious liberty. (p. 1)
Novak says Gregg is qualified in three ways to achieve his purpose: He has "a strong grasp of the natural law." He understands "the long Catholic intellectual tradition." He is motivated by "profoundly Catholic reasons." (p. 1)
SUBJECT. The main title is misleading. The book is not about the Tea Party in the United States, nor about the author's role, if he has any, in it. The subtitle accurately states the subject of the book. Gregg presents the specifically Catholic case for limited government. He bases his argument on Catholic principles.
Gregg says the Catholic position in favor of limited government differs from other positions because of the Catholic position's grounding in "Catholicism's specific understanding of the nature of human freedom. For Catholics, human freedom in turn is grounded in what man is—an individual, sinful, social being graced with reason and free will—and directed to ... 'integral human flourishing'." (p. 36) Thus, this Catholic position on limited government is tied to the supernatural through grace (which means God's gift).
Further, "... the coherence of these positions [on the desirability of limited government] stands or falls upon the Catholic conception of human flourishing...." (p. 37) Citing Pope Gregory VII, Gregg supports the idea that "full freedom in the Christian sense can only be realized through the freedom of life in the Lord in eternity." (p. 38)
The fact of sin and human imperfectability reminds us that the fullness of the flourishing we seek lies in the world which is to come, the gates of which have been opened for us by Christ's Resurrection. (p.49)
Gregg says "the central thesis of this book is that Catholics who underscore the cause of economic liberty can—nay, must—invest the cause for limited government with the same moral depth that Catholics have brought to other issues." (p. 23)
When discussing such subjects, Gregg references Catholic sources such as Augustine and William Ockham, but also other writers such as Cicero and Hegel. Gregg also frequently quotes the writings of popes who have lived in the last 200 years. Gregg seldom directly cites the Bible.
STRUCTURE. The book arcs from the history of Catholicism in the USA, to the present socially conflicted state of the Catholic Church, to an explanation of the principled argument that Gregg offers, and finally to examples of applications of the principles.
The Introduction presents the current situation among Catholics in the USA—including their many disagreements with each other—and the history that led up to it: Since the late 1800s, Catholics generally supported government intervention in the economy; however Gregg sees evidence now of a shift away from economic interventionism: the rise in the 1980s of new generations of Catholics wanting to limit the welfare state; and the spectacle of Catholics publicly debating among themselves—for example, in 2012 Vice President Joe Biden, a Catholic Democrat, debating against Paul Ryan, a Catholic Republican.
Chapter 1 ("Catholic and Free") presents the core of Gregg's philosophical and theological argument in favor of limited government and free enterprise. Chapter 2 ("An Economy of Liberty") looks at the issues in the proper relationship between government and the economy.
Chapter 3 ("Solidarity, Subsidiarity, and the State") explains two Catholic concepts. Solidarity is materially and spiritually supporting individuals in need. This is an application of the "the commandment to love our neighbor as we would want to be loved ourselves." (p. 101) Subsidiarity is the principle that says that in helping the poor people, superior organizations, such as governments, may assist but not displace the voluntary activities of individuals, families, and businesses who are closest to the problem. For example, a welfare program from Washington, D.C., should not replace a particular Texas parish's effort to feed the hungry people in its neighborhood.
Chapter 4 ("The First Freedom") describes the history and nature of the freedom of a follower of a religion to live according to his beliefs. Chapter 5 ("But What About ...?") examines several current issues to illustrate the principles that Gregg thinks should guide Catholics in political controversies.
Chapter 6 ("A Patriotic Minority") describes Gregg's view of the role Catholics can take in today's culture in the USA. He sees a continuing decline of modern liberalism among Catholics and "signs of considerable renewal in the Church in America." (p.197)
EVALUATION. Gregg is a well organized and moderately clear writer. Non-Catholics can learn the basic principles that Gregg advocates, but finer points may be unclear without studying Catholicism. Careful reading shows non-Catholics that Gregg, like many Catholic intellectuals values integration. He attempts to tie principles he learns from revelation, via the Church, to living amidst conflict in modern society.
Gregg's integration is not objective, that is, drawn, logically from sense-perceptible facts of reality, but it is an attempt to provide a systematic plan of action. That makes Catholicism formidable, possibly the most dangerous advocate of mysticism in our culture today.

Wegmans and Target opened to much fanfare at Uptown Worthington but the battle rages behind the scenes between the property’s developer Brian O’Neill and Citizens Bank.
This story has all the trappings of a made-for-TV movie drama. The “man-versus-man” plot features a central character (Brian O’Neill) and an opposition character (Citizens Bank) as the primary actors. The central character has a goal and the opposition is going to attempt to stop the central character before he obtains the goal.
The latest chapter in the continuing saga of the mega-million dollar lawsuit and countersuit between O’Neill Properties and Citizen Bank has attorneys for the bank accusing Brian O’Neill of harassment against five of the bank’s top execs. O’Neill counters the accusations; claiming that the bank destroyed evidence and lodges obstruction of justice allegations.
This week Brian O’Neill and Citizens Bank are headed back to court . . . once again, the courtroom becomes the legal playground for attorneys on both sides. As the war wages on between developer and bank, the $700 million Uptown Worthington project on 106 acres sits largely unfinished. Reportedly, O’Neill Properties is feeling the effect of the recession – the payroll has dropped 50%, down from 150 employees to 75 over the last couple of years.
O’Neill’s battle with Citizens Bank is not confined to the Uptown Worthington project. The developer-bank entanglement also includes a 100-acre corporate park in Bensalem and a 400-acre residential development in North Jersey. Much like a high-profile divorce is the split between O’Neill and Citizens. For eight years, they enjoyed a good relationship with the bank offering $180 million in financing to O’Neill Properties. The economic crisis hit . . . the bank wanting to lessen their financial risk pulled out of their deal with O’Neill Properties, which left the developer without a parachute. Rather than sit on the sidelines and accept his fate, Brian O’Neill is fighting back hard and I don’t think Citizens Bank was quite prepared for their formidable opponent!
This would make a great made-for-TV movie if it were not playing out in our own backyard!

Tonight’s decision temporarily blocks a rule that would have eliminated medication abortion access in the state
Sioux Falls, SD — Today, a federal district court judge temporarily blocked a new rule from the South Dakota Department of Health, created at the direction of Gov. Kristi Noem, that would have effectively eliminated access to medication abortion in the state. The judge granted this temporary restraining order at the request of Planned Parenthood and the ACLU of South Dakota in a case filed last week.
“We are relieved that South Dakotans’ access to medication abortion remains unchanged for right now,” said Sarah Stoesz, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood of North Central States. “The rule’s proposed changes to medication abortion are completely unsupported by medicine and would place an immense burden on patients. Every person deserves the right to make their own decision about their body and their life. Medication abortion is safe and common, and South Dakotans deserve the freedom to make their own decisions about their health.”
South Dakota already forces patients to wait an unnecessary minimum of 72 hours before an abortion, which requires patients to make two trips to the health center. The new proposed rule would mandate an unnecessary third visit for patients seeking a medication abortion — a stipulation that could push access out of reach entirely for some patients.
In the ruling, the federal district court found that “Planned Parenthood and its patients face irreparable harm” should the request for relief not be granted.
"Medication abortion remains legal and available for patients in South Dakota — for now. Today's ruling provides much needed, although temporary, relief for patients and providers in the state who will not be forced to comply with a medically unnecessary and truly burdensome law,” said Alexis McGill Johnson, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood Federation of America. “Anti-abortion politicians pushing through unconstitutional laws in states like South Dakota are showing no sign of slowing down — but Planned Parenthood will never back down when it comes to protecting our patients.”
“From the person living in a rural community hundreds of miles away from the only abortion provider in South Dakota to the patient who wants to access this essential care in the privacy and comfort of their home, this decision comes as a tremendous relief,” said Stephanie Amiotte, ACLU of South Dakota legal director. “This decision is critical progress, but when it comes to the right to control one's own private medical care in South Dakota it’s far from complete. We will continue to take action to protect our right to make our own medical care decisions, including reproductive decisions, which should not be decided by politicians. Choosing our own medical care is a fundamental right that belongs to all of us, regardless of where we live, how much money we make or the color of our skin.”
The temporary restraining order is in effect until February 9, 2022. A hearing on the plaintiffs’ preliminary injunction motion is scheduled for next Tuesday.
The lawsuit was filed by Planned Parenthood Federation of America, the ACLU of South Dakota, and Michael Drysdale at Dorsey & Whitney on behalf of Planned Parenthood Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota (PPMNS) and their Medical Director, Dr. Sarah Traxler, MD.
About Planned Parenthood
Planned Parenthood North Central States and its subsidiary organizations provide, promote, and protect reproductive and sexual health through high quality care, education and advocacy. A member of America’s most trusted reproductive health care provider, our affiliate is proud to support and operate 30 health centers across our five-state region (Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota and South Dakota). Each year, we provide health care to nearly 115,000 people and health education to more than 55,000 people in our region.
About the ACLU of South Dakota
The American Civil Liberties Union of South Dakota is a non-partisan, nonprofit organization dedicated to the preservation and enhancement of civil liberties and civil rights. The ACLU of South Dakota is part of a three-state chapter that also includes North Dakota and Wyoming. The team in South Dakota is supported by staff in those states.
The ACLU believes freedoms of press, speech, assembly, and religion, and the rights to due process, equal protection and privacy, are fundamental to a free people. In addition, the ACLU seeks to advance constitutional protections for groups traditionally denied their rights, including people of color, women, and the LGBTQ+ and Two Spirit communities. The ACLU of South Dakota carries out its work through selective litigation, lobbying at the state and local level, and through public education and awareness of what the Bill of Rights means for the people of South Dakota.

A driver took off on foot, leaving an injured woman and two kids in his car after crashing in Long Beach’s Bluff Park neighborhood Sunday night, according to authorities.
Police said the crash happened around 7:45 p.m. on Second Street at Temple Avenue. The driver was headed west on Second when he swerved around a car stopped at a stop sign and collided with another car headed north on Temple, LBPD spokeswoman Shaunna Dandoy said.
After crashing, the driver got out and fled, Dandoy said, leaving a woman, an 8-year-old boy and an 11-year-old girl hurt inside his car. All three of his passengers were taken to a local hospital, Dandoy said. Police declined to detail how badly they were hurt but said their injuries didn’t appear to be life-threatening.
The driver of the second car was also hurt, but she had only minor injuries and was treated at the scene, according to police.
Officers haven’t yet found the driver who fled. Dandoy said she didn’t immediately have information on the driver’s relationship with his passengers, but they knew each other.
Detectives are still investigating, she said.

RAMALLAH (Ma’an) -- President Mahmoud Abbas' aides hit back Saturday against accusations from Hamas that the president had given up on the right of return in an interview with Israeli TV.
As Hamas premier Ismail Haniyeh reiterated his condemnation of Abbas' remarks, political adviser Nimr Hammad noted that Haniyeh's party also accepted the two-state solution.
Abbas was asked by Israel's Channel 2 whether he wanted to live in Safed, his boyhood town in the Galilee region of what had been British-ruled Palestine and is now northern Israel.
"I visited Safed before once. But I want to see Safed. It's my right to see it, but not to live there," Abbas answered, in the interview broadcast on Friday.
"Palestine now for me is '67 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital. This is now and forever ... This is Palestine for me. I am (a) refugee, but I am living in Ramallah. I believe that (the) West Bank and Gaza is Palestine and the other parts (are) Israel."
Hamas immediately criticized the comments as undermining Palestinian refugees' claim to their land, from which they were driven or fled during the 1948 Arab-Israeli war.
After Friday prayers, Haniyeh again slammed Abbas' remarks as dangerous.
"Abbas doesn’t have the right to surrender a Palestinian, Arabic and Islamic state which is still under Israeli occupation," he said in Gaza.
"No one has the right to surrender one span of Palestinian land and the right of return to our homes."
But Hammad said Abbas was referring to his project to establish a Palestinian state on the 1967 borders, which Hamas has also indicated that it supports.
The right of return is sanctioned by international law, and the status of refugees after Palestinian independence will be decided in peace talks with Israel, he said.
"What was said is what is going to happen when the state of Palestine is established alongside Israel, and therefore the president never mentioned the word giving up the right of return," he told official PA news agency Wafa.
He criticized Hamas for "selling illusions to our people" by protesting Abbas' comments about Safed.
He urged "the reasonable and nationalist leaders in Hamas not to let the illusion-sellers play with the fate of our people, because they are looking for any excuse to maintain the division (between Hamas and Abbas' Fatah party)."
Meanwhile, presidential spokesman Nabil Abu Rudaineh said in a Ma'an TV interview that Abbas' point was that he will not accept a state with temporary borders, hence speaking clearly about the borders of a future Palestinian state.
"To accept a temporary state means to give up the right of return and national principles," he said.
Abu Rudaineh also had harsh words for Hamas, blaming them for stirring up trouble to cover their own "secret" political strategy, as he described it.
"This storm has been created by certain groups who want to provoke public opinions in order to overthrow the legitimate government and create an internal conflict," he said.
"This will only benefit certain groups who negotiate with Israel secretly and then come on TV to accuse the Palestinian leadership, just to cover up what they themselves are doing in secret."
Abbas' interview with Israeli TV was a not a negotiating table, but rather aimed to influence Israeli public opinion, the spokesman said.

Pornography is an important topic for educators and parents/carers to discuss with young people because of the potential effect it can have on their relationships and sexual health. Pornography has existed for centuries and may be accidentally or intentionally accessed by young people. New forms of technology and connection including mobile phones have increased the volume and accessibility of pornography.
This 2-hour workshop responds to the needs of South Australian educators who have voiced their need to engage in this conversation with students. The workshop provides an opportunity for school-based educators to learn more about the topic of pornography and how they may address it within their classroom and school community.
Note – This workshop is only available to educators who have completed a SHINE SA 2-day Teaching It Like It Is – Relationships & Sexual Health Education Course.

In recent years, more and more people are jumping in their cars and making the trip to their nearest drive-in cinema for a unique experience that is making a big comeback.
We take look at the history of the drive-in cinema, why they’re going through a revival - and how you can get involved.
WHAT IS A DRIVE-IN CINEMA
A drive-in cinema does exactly what it says on the tin. It’s an outdoor venue with a large screen that friends, families and couples drive to, park up, and watch a great movie from their car. Audiences hear the film by tuning their car radios to a set frequency.
HISTORY OF THE DRIVE-IN CINEMA
By the time drive-in cinemas became a cultural phenomenon, the novelty of watching movies outdoors had long been established. But it was 1950s America – a period in time subject to plenty of nostalgia and homage - in which they really took off and became iconic of that era.
A classic example of why drive-in cinemas are synonymous with 50s America is the film Grease (1978), where Danny and Sandy go to a drive-in to watch the classic horror film The Blob (1958).
By the end of the 1950s, over 4,000 drive-in cinemas were scattered across the USA. This is largely due to car technology reaching a point where car heaters and air conditioning became standard – allowing for drive-in cinemas to stay open all year round.
But with the emergence of video rentals and land sales in the 70s and 80s, drive-in cinemas suffered a heavy decline.
Drive-In Cinema Revival
So why are drive-in cinemas on the rise again?
1. The car is the star
Firstly, people love an excuse to get in the car with friends and family and go somewhere new or do something different. So the social aspect of driving plays a huge role in how cars and cinema work together in such harmony to create this experience.
And in the age of home streaming services, drive-in cinemas present the perfect reason to get out of the house, and hit the road.
2. Response to multiplex dominance
Thriving independent cinema experiences, such as Secret Cinema, are proof that people still want the community spirit of cinema-going that may have been lost somewhat to the standardised experience of the multiplexes.
The revival of drive-in cinemas in the UK epitomises this trend, whilst appealing even more to car enthusiasts.
3. The chance to watch classic films on the big screen
Additionally, drive-in screenings present the opportunity for fans of much-loved classics, such as Grease (1978) and Dirty Dancing (1987), to come together and celebrate the film – often in fancy dress or with their classic car from the era.
4. The perfect socially distant activity
With the lack of certainty surrounding when foreign holidays and large-scale events will be able to take place this year, drive-in cinemas provide a fun and safe opportunity to get out of the house and enjoy your favourite movies. In 2020, there were over 10 times the number of established drive-in cinemas compared to the previous year, highlighting their huge increase in popularity and we don't expect this year will be any different!
Drive-In Cinema Highlights
Drive-in cinema screenings are being held all over the country this year.
Here are some of the drive-in cinemas and events that we think are worth planning a road trip for this year:
The Luna Cinema
The Luna Cinema will be back in 2022 with a new season of drive-in cinema experiences, taking place in some of the UK’s most idyllic settings (think castles and grand manor houses). Get ready to lose yourself in the world of the film, whilst also taking in your stunning surroundings. Visit their website for a full list of locations and screenings taking place this year.
The Drive In, London
Want to experience the buzz and excitement of the West End during your drive-in cinema experience? The Drive In, at Troubadour Meridian Water is a classic American drive-in theatre just 10 miles outside of London’s West End. The Drive In offers a fully contact-free cinema experience, meaning you can focus your attention fully on the action taking place on the big screen. With classic blockbusters and family favourites all on the calendar, there’s something for everyone at The Drive In.
The Sharnbrook Hotel
The Sharnbrook Hotel in North Bedfordshire hosts drive-in movie nights that celebrate both cars and cinema. Whilst all vehicles are welcome at the drive-in, there are special spots reserved for special cars. So, if you have a supercar you want to show off, this is definitely the place to do it! Visit the Sharnbrook Hotel website to find out which drive-in cinema screenings and other Petrolheadonism events are taking place this year.
Some other drive-in cinema events include:
Tips for your trip to the Drive-In
Here are some handy tips for getting the best possible experience from a drive-in cinema:
1. Get there early
Aim to get there half an hour early to avoid queues and get your food and drinks orders in.
2. Find out if you can bring your own food and drink
This can save you money if you can pack a picnic to bring with you. There’ll always be some refreshments on site if not.
3. Make sure your radio works
You can only hear the film by tuning in through your car radio. So if your car radio doesn’t create the best audio, you might want to think about going in someone else’s car.
4. Check the age rating of the film if you’re taking the kids
While drive-in cinemas are great for family nights out, film classification rules still apply and you could be refused entry if your children are under age.
So keep an eye out for a drive-in cinema screening near you. They’re great fun and full of nostalgia, so long may their resurgence continue.

DNC is MIA in Wisconsin
By ROBIN BRAVENDER | 5/16/12 4:26 AM EDT
The Republican National Committee has said itll kick in whatever it takes to keep Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker in office.
But Democrats in Washington wont commit to spending big, even though their candidate has been out raised 25-to-1 so far. And in Wisconsin, thats left the local activists fuming.
With just three weeks until the June 5 recall election in Wisconsin, Democrats in the state are still waiting for a check they asked the Democratic National Committee to send. And the Obama campaign hasnt given them any cash, either.
Graeme Zielinski, a spokesman for the Democratic Party of Wisconsin, said the state party has made a financial request of the DNC and that it is pending. He declined to confirm the amount, but didnt dispute the $500,000 figure, first reported by the Washington Post.
Were going to get outspent 10-to-1, maybe 20-to-1, Zielinski said. We just need the resources to activate our superior get-out-the-vote operation, which we could. But we cant do it for free. Campaigns cost money. Scott Walker has owned the air. We believe we can own the ground. Zielinski noted hes confident that the DNC and other allies will support state Democrats.
(Excerpt) Read more at politico.com ...
COMMENTARY | When the Democratic Party and its union allies concocted the recall election against Wisconsin Republican Gov. Scott Walker, the purpose was to punish him for daring to curb some of the public sector unions' collective bargaining rights.
If a recall could topple Walker, then a union-friendly governor would help roll back his reforms and place the unions back in power. That was the plan anyway.
The latest PPP poll shows Walker ahead of his Democratic opponent Tom Barrett by five points just three weeks before the election. The Democratic National Committee, having seen the handwriting on the wall, has abandoned participation in the race, according to Politico. The Washington Post suggests the circular firing squad is already loading ammunition in preparation of an embossing defeat.
If Walker wins, I think Romney wins. RATs were whining on the radio today - they are pissed at the DNC and may sit out November if the DNC doesn’t help out ...
What is an “embossing defeat”? Does that mean they get stamped?
MU Poll came out this afternoon.
Walker up 6%
Barrett screaming bloody murder over early release of BLS numbers showing that we actually added jobs last year in WI.
Good times going to get even better in 3 weeks.
I hope SEIU emptied their bank accounts to defeat Walker.
Hey, ease up a little. After all, he's acting like a typical RAT. He's going for the stimulus...
Hahahaaa... Well, okay then.
Like the children they are, these Leftists are not going to take kindly to the fact that they did not get what they wanted. Much foot stomping, breath holding, and assorted temper tantrums to follow.
Maybe that $500,000 they are seeking is part of Obama’s deposits in J P Morgan Chase.
My hope is that the State Dem establishment gets so pissed at the DNC and Obama that they work on a payback by sitting out the general election in November tossing Wisconsin into the Red state category.
We just need the resources to activate our superior get-out-the-vote operation, which we could. But we cant do it for free.
Translation: Damn-it, our people won’t just volunteer for free! They only volunteer for money!
Folks need to keep the support and pressure on. Donate to Walker’s “Friends for Scott Walker” campaign and help them keep the positive campaign that they’re running on track. They’re winning with the facts! The ad’s provide references to the sources and they can’t be discredited because their accurate!!!
Still, if folks think the unions are rolling over and giving up, they’re sadly mistaken. I predict massive voter fraud.
The Voter ID law was back-burnered by a Liberal Madison Judge so that it would not apply to the recall election. Voter Fraud WILL happen June 5th. Watch for it!
Praying for a landslide victory for Scott!!! Wisconsin needs it, and so does the rest of this great country!
Walker is surging.
Intrade has him at 83% today.
They won’t vote for free either especially not the dead ones. ;-)
Actually that is a very fictious & bogus comparison. The 25-1 ratio (or 10-1, or 20-1), whatever number happens to drop from the lips of the scurvy RAT bastard demoRATs is false & misleading. Walker needed to raise some $25 million, in order to fight against the proposed $61 MILLION that the public sector unions and SEIU were planning on throwing into the recall against Walker. I think that number by the unions is going down, because as stupid & evil as they are, they don't want to deplete their slush funds for other devious ventures.
I imagine a good size chunk of that $61 million will still be spent by the unions, for the recall against Walker as well as the four Republican senators being recalled. We need to pray & work & contribute for Walker, but let's not forget to fight & contribute like crazy for the 4 Republican senators. If only 1 recall flips over to the RAT bastards, than the demoRATs will control the WI senate and Repubs will control the WI Assembly. And the RAT bastard demoRATs will refuse to pass or work with Walker & the Repubs on anything. And being the lyin' snake RAT bastards that they are, they will accuse Walker & the Repubs of stonewalling.
We GOTTA win the 4 Repub senate recall elections as well. If there is a mammoth turnout on June 5, I believe (and hope & pray) that a large turnout will favor the Repubs. Truth be known, a lot of folks in WI are getting sick & tired of the RAT bastard demoRAT shenigans & constant recall campaigns.
A Walker +7 or greater victory will be sugar sweet. Can’t hardly wait to see those loser Rats take one up the ash—right Chode?
Walker is my hero PING!

You may be worried that your child has cerebral palsy after a difficult labor and delivery, but it may be a few years before a doctor makes a cerebral palsy diagnosis. Often, a diagnosis comes after a child has missed developmental milestones. If you or your child’s doctor think that your child may have cerebral palsy, you may go through several stages of monitoring and testing before a diagnosis is made.
Developmental Monitoring of Infants, Babies, and Toddlers
Developmental monitoring should happen at all pediatrician well-visits regardless of whether or not you suspect cerebral palsy. The doctor will ask you about what your child is doing at home and observe your child. If the doctor has any concerns about whether your child is meeting developmental milestones, the doctor should recommend a developmental screening.
Developmental Screening of Babies and Toddlers
According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, all children should have developmental screenings during their well-visits at nine months, 18 months, and either 24 or 30 months of age. Screening is a more detailed version of monitoring. During a developmental screening, more questions may be asked, and more time may be spent observing the child. Depending on your child’s age, you may be asked questions about your child’s potential cerebral palsy symptoms and your child’s ability to:
- Hold up his or her head
- Sit up independently
- Pick things up
At nine, 18, and 24-30 months of age, fine motor, gross motor, and movement delays may be easily observed, and the next steps may be suggested. For some children, the next step may be further observation and screenings. For other children, the next step may be developmental and medical evaluations. Additionally, many children with developmental delays will qualify for and benefit from Kentucky’s First Steps program.
Developmental Evaluation for Cerebral Palsy
Before making a cerebral palsy diagnosis, your child’s primary care doctor may refer your child to a specialist, such as a:
- Developmental or neurodevelopmental pediatrician who specializes in child development and diagnosing children with developmental delays
- Pediatric neurologist who specializes in childhood conditions that affect the brain, spine, or nerves
- Pediatric physiatrist or rehabilitation doctor who specializes in rehabilitation medicine for children
The specialist may take a detailed history of your child’s development from you and perform observations to evaluate your child’s:
- Motor skills
- Muscle tone
Specifically, the specialist may want to know about your pregnancy, labor and delivery, and your child’s APGAR scores and results of newborn screenings. Additionally, the specialist may order tests, including:
- Brain imaging tests such as a CT scan or MRI. These tests can rule out other brain conditions that may cause symptoms similar to cerebral palsy or to confirm the cause of cerebral palsy.
- Genetic tests
- Metabolic tests
- Electroencephalogram (EEG). An EEG measures electrical activity in the brain and is used to diagnose epilepsy. Epilepsy may make a cerebral palsy diagnosis more likely.
Other potential causes of your child’s developmental delays and medical conditions may be considered and ruled out before a cerebral palsy diagnosis is made.
What to Do After a Cerebral Palsy Diagnosis
Your child’s medical journey doesn’t stop with a cerebral palsy diagnosis. Now that you know what is causing your child’s symptoms, you need to get your child the necessary medical care and make sure that your child’s legal rights are protected.
Medical mistakes made during pregnancy, labor, or delivery can cause cerebral palsy. If your child’s cerebral palsy was caused by medical malpractice, your child may have the right to recover damages for past and future medical expenses, rehabilitation therapies, lost income, out-of-pocket costs, physical pain, and emotional suffering.
Our experienced Kentucky cerebral palsy attorneys and law firm nurse are here to help protect you every step of the way. Call us or reach out to us via this website to schedule a free, no-obligation consultation about your child’s rights and possible recovery.

Maybe you’re anticipating the arrival of acceptance letters from private schools. Perhaps you want to reward yourself for a job well done in 2014. It’s possible that you’re just tired of your current surroundings. Whatever the reason, 2015 could be the year that you build the home of your dreams.
You may think you know exactly what you want—and you probably want every cool thing you’ve ever seen—but there’s a very good chance that you have no idea what things cost or how much you might actually use these bells and whistles. So do your research. Ask your architect and builder a lot of questions. Interview your friends about things they like, things they don’t like, and what they would do differently if they had the chance. And most important, get real about your budget.
To get you started, we spoke to some of the city’s top builders about what they’re seeing, what they’re liking, and what they’re recommending to their clients.
House of Style
Are we still in the age of the Mediterranean?
The answer is yes and no. Many builders we talked to mentioned a movement toward “new traditional,” “soft contemporary,” and “transitional.” But, people, this is Dallas. Mediterranean isn’t going anywhere—although it’s often becoming more of a blend with something more Santa Barbara-inspired.
No matter your look outside, most of the floor plans retain the openness of a more contemporary home. Marc Kleinmann of Bauhaus Custom Homes says he defines rooms by using different ceiling heights or floor heights and half-freestanding elements like fireplaces and cabinets rather than relying on walls and doors. “Sometimes clients are amazed that they get all of this room in 4,500 square feet. But there aren’t any monster hallways that are taking up 2,000 of your 7,000 square feet,” he says.
Do people build one-stories anymore?
Bigger is not always better, and many of the builders we spoke to say that clients are being smarter about their square footage. While a new one-story home doesn’t make sense in the Park Cities due to lot prices, people who have a large budget, a generous lot, and plans to stay in their homes after the kids take off are building one stories—or a modified take on a single-story house. “We just finished a really cool house. It’s really a one-story, but on the back of the house, there’s a staircase that goes upstairs to two bedrooms for grandchildren,” Mark Danuser of Tatum Brown Custom Homes says. “That, to me, is trending—empty nesters worried about a little bounce-back create a space for visiting family, but they don’t need a stacked 7,000-square-foot home.”
“We’re seeing a lot of people interested in right-sizing their houses.”
Michael Munir of Sharif & Munir Custom Homes agrees. “We’re seeing a lot of people interested in right-sizing their houses. We’re building single-story homes with all the bedrooms on the first floor and a bonus area on the second floor,” he says. “You live as a single-story home. But single-story homes cost more—there’s more roof, more foundation.”
“We’re seeing a lot of people interested in right-sizing their houses.”Builder Michael Munir
So before you pull the trigger on building that modern sprawling ranch, you’ll have to look at your lot(s) and your cash flow. “We don’t do a lot of one-stories. The economics do not work in the infill neighborhoods. Most people do not want to move into a home upside down on cost versus value. Land is too expensive, and you need to justify it with a certain square footage to make the financials work, ” Les Owens of LRO Residential says.
The good news is, if you do decide to build a one-story, you can brag about how much more expensive it is than your buddy’s three-story chateau.
Where should I put my master bedroom?
Again, this is going to be contingent on where you’re building. Obviously, if your lot is in the Park Cities and you desire having any semblance of a backyard, you’re going to want to put that master suite upstairs. Got small kids? Then you’re probably also going to want to be near them. Everyone else wants to be downstairs, away—sometimes far, far away—from the rest of the bedrooms. And if this is going to be your forever home, there really will come a day when you’re not going to want to deal with those stairs.
Most builders we talked to said that the actual master bedroom is getting smaller, while the adjoining bathroom and closets are getting bigger. So while some people still want the sitting areas in the master, don’t feel like you have to put one in. “We’re finding people are not doing anything in the bedroom but sleeping, so we’re putting in a knock-out bathroom and a knock-out closet with a packing island and full-length mirrors. People are looking for more luxury in the master closet,” says Ellen Grasso of Ellen Grasso & Sons.
“We’ve seen our bedrooms getting smaller, but the master bath is expanding. Almost every master bath that we’re building or designing is almost like a miniature spa. We have one with a shower/steam room—you could sit eight people in there. Freestanding tubs. And master closets—that’s the hot button,” Marc Kleinmann says.
In addition to luxury in the bathroom, Kurt Bielawski of More Design + Build says people are also looking for utility. His clients have asked for an extra washer and dryer set in the master closet. These would be used for things that you want to immediately wash, like sweaty running clothes, rather than taking them to the laundry room.
But this is your house, and if you want a sitting area and a coffee maker in your bedroom, you should go for it.
“It all comes down to this: Where do you spend your time? How much access do you want?” says Michael Munir. “For someone like me, my wife will sit in the master suite and read a book. I won’t. But we have some clients who really use them. I’m working with clients who have a master wing where they’ll have a study-style sitting room—it’s just for the master. It’s not accessible to the rest of the house. And that’s where they plan to spend evening time, after dinner.”
Moving on up
Do I need an elevator and two staircases?
We’ve got good news and bad news: Pretty much everyone we spoke to said you need the elevator—especially if you’re in the Park Cities with that second-floor master. Aaron Ipour of Megatel Homes says simply, “They’re almost a requirement.” The good news is that you don’t have to put it in immediately. Several builders say they frame in space and pre-wire, so when the homeowner is ready to make the transition to taking the lift, the space if ready to go.
The dual staircases became something everyone had to have—no matter the size of the home. But many of the builders we spoke to said that’s calmed down, and that’s good news because staircases can be expensive. Really, it all comes down to the square footage and style of your home. Do you need two separate stairwells for your modern, 5,000-square-foot house? Probably not. “On the more traditional homes, two stairwells are pretty common. But really it depends on the size and layout of the home,” Les Owens says. Adds Marc Kleinmann, “If it’s really long travel time to one part of the house from another, that warrants another staircase. But most of the time, that ends up not being the case. We’ll go with one featured staircase that really packs a punch and leave it at that.”
Moving on down
Should I get a basement?
Prior to beginning construction, almost every single person thinks he needs a basement. After finding out how much a basement costs and how much time they take, most people no longer find they need a basement. People, basements are expensive—and they can add as much as three to five months to your timeline! They require elaborate drainage, waterproof walls, and a generator to ensure that the drainage still works when your power goes out for five days during one of our ice storms. Rather than a full-blown basement, why not consider a shelter area to keep you and the family from blowing away during the next tornado? Kurt Bielawski says he has been asked to do more of these than basements—an underground space for eight of your nearest and dearest to sit out the next storm.
On the Television
Do I need a media room?
The short answer here is no. Basically every builder we spoke to said that people are shying away from the media room of old. “With technology today, almost every room has the ability to become a media room,” says Ben Coats of Coats Homes. Builders are leaning toward a “flex room.” Ellen Grasso says, “For the most part, people don’t want to waste the space on a traditional media room.”
“We’re seeing more of a game room/media room with a bar, pool table, kids’ area, and doors that open to the pool area,” Andy Clem of Bella Vita Custom Homes says.
Look closely at your needs. “If you’re watching sports, that’s not necessarily the best thing to watch in the dark,” Michael Munir points out.

Many times when working with product photography studio it can be difficult to know exactly it can be difficult to know exactly what kind of media to request. Sometimes it takes extra time to collaborate with a creative manager who can help showcase your product. Producer is important for photography.
The problem is there are lot of “fast”, “casual” and “ship” Deliver shoots. Photography studio that don’t give you access to a producer (Who comes in the form of a creative director, or even a photography) and if they do, unfortunately, it can sometimes cost you up $1000 to chat with someone on the phone about your shooting inspiration.
In Result imagery, we are an all-inclusive service provider. When choosing to work with Outcome image for your product photography service needs, we always offer Creative Director and Director photographer or all of the above so that you can go to a college and the photographer help you with a brief plan so that we can work as a team, Collaboratively create the best image that will showcase everything from your product brand and vision.
Producer Before A Photoshoot
The list of benefit to chat with the photography studio you want to work with during your photo shoot pre-production is endless. Not only sound education but his alertness and dedication too are most required. Most fast-paced casual photography companies ask you to fill out a pre-production in the hope of general information enough to create a customized, unique image of your brand and product.
There’s a deal here that it can work for common products in white photography or even very simplified images that are washed and simplified images that are washed and replicated but most brands require customized images that will bring engagement and uniqueness to their lists, social feeds and website.
They need images that speak to their target market and more importantly, images that transform nations into shoppers. At the end of the day you need image that create sealing and generate more clicks. In the results images, we do just that. For each brand we provide a customization method that we work with, build a relationship with them and truly become an extension for their team.
Let’s take a closer look at the benefits of working with a wife who offers a producer with each project. The list goes on and on, but we want to talk about why it’s important to talk to the producer before the photoshoot and why you have to spend for it.
Brand-Centric Media Assets
One of the things we like most about creating an image for a brand is to create is not just to showcase the product but to help create an image that speaks to the brand. To understand what Brand really is and how it wants to realize itself to its market audience is to jump into a phone call and talk through your brand details and how images can help share that message. Each part of a brand’s content is an extension of the brand’s voice. Not only is it displaying a product but it
is also telling an indirect story about the brand. Creating an image that is not completely brand focused, can sometimes create confusion about a brand and who is the market which creates a second guess in the customer journey. Having a producer chat with you and having a sounding board for the brand has proven to be helpful in creating a brand centric media resource to go through all the options. And better yet it doesn’t cost extra money.
Photography Producer Brief Creation Help
Not everyone is a good creative person. In fact most of the people we chat with appreciate that they can say hey I’m not creative and I need help. We’re working with thousands of brands and creating thousands of media resources for Hebrew shots. Let’s create other images then show others in a way that speaks to your brand and more importantly to the buyer all we do is the best. From some big household name brand’s to small side hustles we have been collaborating with really all kind of individuals and groups.
We enjoy the pre-production process. This allows us to give our clients insights as product photography professionals. We understand what the current trend is and what the main focus is for brand that drive social engagement. Use our insights, collaborate with our team and help us create a photography brief that will help you sell and it doesn’t cost extra.
Create Omni-Channel Consistency for Producer
Omni-Channel Marketing! Talking about everyone, are you doing everything? Having a consistent voice across all your platforms is essential in today’s trading landscape. If you are not 100% familiar with the term Omni-channel marketing, here is a quick overview below. Channel Marketing is a multi-channel approach to sales marketing and customer service that focuses
experience whether the client is shopping through a website, marketplace listing, social media, brick and mortar store or other shopping medium.
Having a producer in one call will help all platform / shopping avenues to choose exactly what media to present so that it is a consistent experience throughout the customer journey. Introducing your product photography team members at the beginning of the conversation will help you in your overall marketing long-term vision. As the brand’s voice grows over time it allows them to help determine and understand strategies.
Your brand voice usually starts with the media you publish. That media has to be consistent across all touch points. Having a media company that is helpful at every step and investing in a long-term vision is a great competitive advantage to have a producer and yet does not cost a fortune extra.
There should never be a time when you are not building a strong relationship with your product photography studio that you want to partner with. Marketing and sales go hand in hand and so does marketing and help guide you along the way, how to win adult rounds and successfully build a strong brand experience.
Through all the different revolutions for product photography agencies approach.

Ahmed al-Tayeb, grand imam of Egypt's Al-Azhar, held talks on Thursday with Arab League Secretary-General Nabil al-Arabi on the ongoing crisis in Syria.
According to an Azhar statement, the two men – who declined to talk to the press following the meeting – agreed to continue their consultations on the Syrian issue.
An Azhar source said that, during the meeting, the Grand Imam had called for stepped-up efforts to reach an agreement to resolve the crisis.
Al-Tayeb had also called for providing support to Syrian refugees fleeing the war-torn country, the source added.
Syria has been in the throes of civil conflict since March 2011 when a peaceful uprising against President Bashar al-Assad escalated into a civil war following a violent government crackdown.
According to the UN, more than 100,000 people have been killed in the conflict to date.Last Mod: 28 Kasım 2013, 14:52

In recent years, Intravenous (IV) Therapy has gained immense popularity as a powerful wellness and healthcare tool. This innovative treatment method involves the administration of essential nutrients, vitamins, and minerals directly into the bloodstream via an IV drip. It offers numerous benefits and has become a go-to option for individuals seeking improved health, energy, and overall well-being. Let's explore the importance and advantages of IV Therapy.
Fast and Efficient Nutrient Delivery
IV Therapy allows for rapid and efficient delivery of nutrients to your body. When nutrients are administered intravenously, they bypass the digestive system, which can sometimes limit the absorption of essential vitamins and minerals. This means your body receives a higher concentration of nutrients, ensuring maximum effectiveness.
Hydration and Electrolyte Balance
Dehydration can lead to a range of health issues, including fatigue, headaches, and muscle cramps. IV Therapy provides immediate hydration and helps restore the balance of essential electrolytes in your body. This is especially beneficial for athletes, those recovering from illness, or individuals with a busy lifestyle.
Enhanced Energy and Immune Support
A boost of vitamins and minerals directly into your bloodstream can lead to increased energy levels and improved immune function. IV Therapy often includes vitamins like vitamin C, which is known for its immune-boosting properties. It's a great way to fend off illness and keep your immune system strong.
Improved Skin Health
IV Therapy can also have positive effects on your skin. Nutrients like vitamin C, biotin, and glutathione are commonly included in IV drips for their ability to promote healthy skin, reduce the signs of aging, and enhance your complexion.
For those who have indulged a bit too much the night before, IV Therapy can be a lifesaver. It helps alleviate hangover symptoms by rehydrating the body, replenishing lost nutrients, and providing relief from headaches and nausea.
Customized for Your Needs
One of the significant advantages of IV Therapy is its customization. Your treatment can be tailored to your specific health goals and needs. Whether you're looking to boost your energy, recover from illness, support your athletic performance, or simply maintain optimal health, there's an IV therapy formulation for you.
IV Therapy should always be administered by trained medical professionals. At our clinic, you can trust that our team of experienced healthcare providers will ensure your safety and comfort throughout the process. We take your health seriously and prioritize delivering the highest quality care.

There’s been a lot of talk of wind gusts and rainfall totals as we watch Chris make its way toward Newfoundland’s Avalon Peninsula. This storm is going to produce a fair amount of both, but Chris is also a marine storm and is having a powerful impact offshore.
Gale warnings are in place just off Nova Scotia’s Eastern Shore up to Forchu and then over to the south and southwest shorelines of Newfoundland. Storm warnings have been issued for July 12 for the east coast , Cape St. Francis and south. There, the south wind around the storm will be as high as 55 knots, or just over 100 km/h.
Then there’s the issue of storm surge. That term comes up quite frequently during hurricane season, but it’s not well understood.
What exactly is a storm surge? The next few days will bring particularly high tides along the coast of Nova Scotia. A trough of low pressure will pass over the province this afternoon giving strong southwesterly winds later July 11 and 12. These strong southwesterlies combined with the higher than normal tides will result in higher than normal water levels and some rough and pounding surf along parts of the Fundy and Atlantic coastlines. Storm surge is a coastal flood of rising water commonly associated with an area of low pressure, but low pressure is not the only consideration when issuing a storm surge warning: wind direction and the phase of the moon are also considered.
Right now, the phase of the moon is of particular concern. This month’s new moon is July 12. When the moon is full or new, the gravitational pull of the moon and sun are combined. At these times, the high tides are very high and the low tides are very low. This is known as a spring high tide and it’s happening now.
When the storm surge of a hurricane comes in at high tide, the affect is worse as the height of the high tide is added to the storm surge to produce a storm tide.
That storm tide, combined with brisk south winds, will bring particularly high tides and higher than normal water levels along Newfoundland’s east coast - Cape St. Francis and south late July 12. This has the potential to create localized flooding.
High wind and stormy sea conditions will subside July 13 - Friday afternoon.

DAYTONA BEACH -- A year ago, James Stewart spilled hard and opened the door for Ryan Villopoto to win the Daytona Supercross By Honda.
Villopoto returned the favor Saturday night.
The AMA Supercross points leader and two-time defending race winner splashed into a mud pit on the first lap, helping Stewart score a runaway victory before an estimated 35,000 fans who braved heavy wind and rain at Daytona International Speedway.
"It means a lot," Stewart said from Victory Lane. "I've had some rough get-offs at Daytona. Once I got out front, I was just trying to survive."
The course was so wet, battered and beaten down that AMA shortened the Main Event from 20 to 16 laps. The Lites final, won by Justin Barcia, was shortened from 15 to 12 laps.
The win adds to the Daytona tradition for Joe Gibbs Racing, which is known for its NASCAR success. JGR won the 1993 Daytona 500 with Dale Jarrett at the wheel, and the team also has three Coke Zero 400 triumphs -- with Tony Stewart in 2006 and 2009 and Kyle Busch in 2008. David Millsaps finished second by 7.572 seconds to give JGR a 1-2 sweep on their Yamahas.
"It was a good race," Millsaps said. "Everybody has been pushing on me and I finally got (a podium finish)."
The victory -- Stewart's second of the season -- was his 44th career Supercross win.
This one was particularly tough and mighty sweet because of the muddy and rough conditions.
"The track was gnarly," the Haines City native said. "I love this place. This is my home track. I think this is just a hang-on race."
Kevin Windham, 34, who won in the mud at Daytona in 2008, scored his first podium of the season by finishing third aboard a Honda.
"I thought I had a good shot to go away with the win, but I just got blasted," Windham said. "It's been a great battle -- this race and this season."
Villopoto, who was scored in last place after the first lap, rallied to fifth-place finish. His lead in the standings over Stewart slipped from 53 to 44 points.
"It was tough," Villopoto said. "I didn't get the greatest start and made a mistake. It was a long race coming from dead last. I tried to salvage as much as I could."
Millsaps got the hole shot at the start, but Stewart was never far behind. At the start of the third lap, Stewart flew past his teammate and turned consistent laps to pull away from the field.
Earlier Saturday, Barcia remained undefeated on the East Coast by winning the Daytona Supercross Lites Main Event.
Aboard a Honda 250, Barcia beat a hard-charging Blake Baggett and his Kawasaki over the last two laps on the muddy course.
Barcia now has four wins in four starts on this side of the country this season.
"It was so demanding out there," Barcia said. "It was scary out there. I'm glad to come out of here with the win.
"I've always wanted to win this race. It was a demanding race. I had to be on my 'A' game."
Baggett, who fell early, posted the fastest lap in the final as he rallied to Barcia's rear wheel.
"I wish it had been 15 laps," Baggett said. "Barcia rode a great race. It was too muddy. I tried to shove it in there. It is what it is."
Darryn "Double D" Durham was third aboard a KTM in the Lites final, which brought the crowd to their feet in the closing laps.
"I got a bad start and the ruts were deep," Durham said. "I just kept my head down."
Stewart and Windham won the qualifying heats, setting up a showdown for the final with Millsaps.
Malcolm Stewart, James Stewart's younger brother, made the Lites final by finishing second in the last-chance qualifying race.
Malcolm, on a KTM, finished second to Kyle Cunningham, aboard a Yamaha.
Supercross continues today and Monday. Instead of the high-flying pros, it will be amateurs racing the Daytona course, which will be tamed a bit for the less-experienced ranks.
Road racing and the Daytona Flat Track schedules start Thursday.

Analysis-driven Design of Fuel Cell Blowers
When the world’s leading developers of hydrogen fuel cell systems need a custom solution for air or hydrogen pumping, they often turn to PADT to provide
a blower. A key to PADT’s success is the integration of simulation into every aspect of the product development process.
The blowers designed by PADT are high-speed rotating machines with custom motors and high-efficiency pump heads. Simulation is used to avoid overheating,fatigue and vibration problems. The technology is leveraged to optimize the configuration for greater system efficiency.
The types of analysis conducted on these systems include:
? Preliminary system aerodynamic design
? Detailed inlet and outlet aerodynamic simulation
? Detailed aerodynamic optimization of rotor geometry
? Motor electromagnetic field optimization
? Motor and system cooling solutions
? System and component vibration
? Rotor high-speed centrifugal stresses
? Rotor dynamics of rotating assembly
? Stress evaluation of all components under internal and external loading
“As the fuel cell industry matures, the efficiency and robustness of peripheral devices such as blowers must improve. We use the full suite of ANSYS products because they integrate with our CAD directly, are integrated with each other and simulate the full range of problems we encounter. These tools allow us to make analysis an integrated part of our process, which in turn enables us to eliminate a significant amount of testing and redesign and to get to the test bench (and therefore the customer) faster and with fewer redesigns. The most important things to our customers are performance, robustness and schedule. The ANSYS tools play an important role in delivering on all three.”
Develop custom hydrogen and air pumping solutions for stationary and automotive hydrogen fuel cells. When developing such systems, considerable challenges arise,
? Compressed development schedules
? Aggressive efficiency goals
? Harsh operating environment
? Aggressive cost goals
? High rotating speed
? High internal temperatures
? Use ANSYS CFX, BladeGen and other ANSYS tools as part of every aspect of the product development process including conceptual design, detailed design and testing.
? Integrate these tools directly with PADT’s parametric CAD via ANSYS Workbench.
? Leverage automation through scripting and automatic report generation.
? Allows development team to make intelligent design decisions based on accurate and timely simulation results?
? Make decisions and find problems much earlier in the design process
? Obtain aggressive efficiency and robustness goals with less testing
? Save engineering time and overhead cost by having to purchase and learn only one suite of tools

Flashcards in Intro to Virology Deck (32):
What are the general features of viruses?
obligate parasite, smaller in size than bacteria and cells, RNA or DNA genomes, packaged in protein and sometimes in lipid envelope as well
Why are viruses obligate parasites?
lack ribosomes and must use the hosts to produce proteins
What are the symptoms often seen with viral disease?
rash, fever, conjunctivitis, pharyngitis, gastroenteritis, hepatitis, pneumonia, bronchiolitis, adneopathy, parotitis, meningoencephalitis, arthritis, congenital or perinatal disorders
What is the difference between (+) or (-) RNA?
(+) -> encodes the proteins, readable by our ribosomes; (-) -> have to carry replication enzymes, to make a single copy = mRNA
How are viruses classified? Why do we care?
disease produced, physical characteristics (structures and envelopes), Genome sequence used primarily (PCR amplification to ID and quantify); diagnosis, determine treatment or outcome, best method of disinfection or prevention
What are the different kinds of viral genomes?
RNA or DNA, segmented or monopartite, packaged often as a nucleoprotein.
what are viral envelopes made of?
viral transmembrane proteins (often glycoproteins), some interact with receptors, often have matrix and tegument proteins that interact with envelope and core proteins
What is the process of budding?
when a virus pushes through a membrane structure of the cell allowing acquisition of an envelope
What are the general features of viruses with RNA genomes?
evolve rapidly because of high error rate of RNA-dependent RNA polymerase
What are the general features of viruses with DNA genomes?
use host enzymes to replicate and transcribe mRNA, low error rate, allows for larger genomes, more coding capacity
What is the function of nucleoprotein?
protein for packaging and replication, allows for coiling the complex of genome and protein,
What is the core or capsid of a virus?
protein structure encasing the nucleoprotein, some virion are just capsid and genome (can increase stability of the virion)
What are some characteristic shapes of viruses?
helical, icosahedral, or complex (many different forms)
How do viruses infect?
fomites (susceptible to drying out with envelope, longer if just capsid), droplets (cough or sneeze on to fomites or inhaled), body fluids (blood, semen, urine, slaiva, breast milk), vectors (mosquitos or ticks, virus replicates to increase concentration in saliva)
What are the various modes of Transmission of viruses?
respiratory, fecal-oral, sexual transmission, direct contact, urine-associated transmission, parenteral transmission, vertical (mom to child), arthropod-borne transmission (ticks, mosquitos, sandflies), zoonotic infections (from animals, rodents, even breathing in their urine)
How do viruses get into cells?
receptors= host encoded proteins on cell surface, often between cells and only available during mitosis, bind envelope glycoproteins cause fusion of viral envelope with cell membranes; non-enveloped via endosomes
How is the distribution of effects of a virus determined?
based on the distribution of receptor variants that the virus can bind with= tropisms
What are some antiviral targets?
polymerases- reverse transcriptase or RNA dependent RNA polymerase; viral proteases- cleave viral proproteins to generate infectious virus; components of viral capsid involved in receptor binding; immune activators- interferon B, trx with IgG
How do positive RNA viruses replicate?
bind receptor, conformational change to release RNA, translate to produce viral proteins processed by viral proteases, virion RNA copied by viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (cytoplasm), lysis to release virus
How do DNA viruses replicate?
attachment of virus to receptors, entry and fusion with cell membrane, DNA release from core released into nucleus, transcription of viral RNA-> expression of viral proteins including DNA replication proteins and capsid. replicated DNA assembled in cores in nucleus and bud through nuclear membrane
How do retroviruses replicate?
attach virus to CD4 allows entry and fusion with plasma membrane, viral RNA is copied as DNA by reverse transcriptase in nucleocapsid, transport to nucleus, viral cDNA integrated into host genome, viral RNA exported from nucleus, translated, and packaged, viral particles assembled and matured by viral protease
What is the pathway and replication pattern from ingestion of virus to secondary infection?
virus ingested, primary site of infection GI (first replication), primary viremia (circulates through blood stream), replication in second sites (spleen, lymph nodes, meninges, etc), pathogenic virus replication in secondary organs (necrosis, inflammation, etc), virus excreted from primary site and secondary sites (fecal), virus cleared from system by adaptive immune response or becomes persistent
When in the phase of disease is the virus excreted?
prior to symptomatic disease
What can be detected during acute phase of viral infection?
virus cant be detected, but antiviral IgG lasts for years.
What is a persistent infection?
a virus not cleared after acute period, leading to chronic infection (ex: Hep C, herpes simplex, etc), some virus infections can be cleared if a sufficient immune response is generated and/or antiviral therapy is effective
What is a latent virus reactivation?
regulated to prevent virus replication except during short periods of virus activation (herpes, cytomegalovirus, Epstein-Barr), not same as clinical latency (no symptoms of disease)
What is perinatal disease?
infection before birth from mother at birth or via breast milk after birth; HIV, Parvovirus (miscarriage, hydrops fetalis), Rubella (congenital infection, hearing loss, miscarriage, teratogenic), CMV infection (fetal infection, hearing loss, neurologic comp.), Herpes, HBV, Hepatitis E (moratlity of pregnant women), enterovirus (systemic multi-organ disease of neonates) and influenza
What viruses are known to cause cancer?
HBV and HCV- persistent infections-> HCC, HPV: strains associated with cervical cancer and oropharyngeal cancer, Epstein-Barr virus (lymphoma, gastric carcinoma, nasopharyngeal carcinoma), HHV8 (Karposi's sarcoma, lymphoma), HTLV1 (T-cell lymphoma)
What are the various vaccine-preventable viral diseases?
Hep B and A, influenza, measles, mumps, polio, rubella, rotavirus, HPV, shingles and chickenpox, rabies, yellow fever, Japanese encephalitis, small pox, adenovirus
What are some remerging viral disease?
influenza, sin-nombre hanta virus, SARS, Ebolavirus
what viruses are new to humans?
new influenza serogroups, SIV-like primate virus became HIV 1 and 2, Ebola

Many things cause a bike tire to deflate. Glass, sharp rocks, tacks, and nails can pierce the tire and puncture the tube within. A tube can be pinched between the rim and tire causing the tube to split when inflated. If a tire has a hole in it, the tube, which is filled with air pressure, will bulge out of the opening and pop. As well, the valve holding the air pressure in the tube can be damaged or faulty.
