A new report by conservation nonprofit MountainTrue finds that E. coli concentrations in the French Broad River near Asheville regularly exceed eight times the standard considered safe for swimming by the federal Environmental Protection Agency.
The State of Our French Broad River report reflects hundreds of water samples gathered from across the watershed during the 2022 swimming season. Average E. coli levels in the central French Broad River basin, which includes popular recreation areas such as the River Arts District and Hominy Creek, were over 1,900 colony-forming units per 100 milliliters of water. The EPA standard for safe swimming and tubing is 235 cfu per 100 mL; if ingested, E. coli can cause diarrhea, stomach pain and vomiting.
Other parts of the river showed less contamination but still exceeded EPA guidelines. The Upper French Broad near Brevard and Hendersonville averaged about 600 cfu of E. coli per 100 mL, while the Lower French Broad near Hot Springs averaged about 400 cfu per 100 mL.
Hartwell Carson, French Broad riverkeeper for MountainTrue, told Xpress those results were somewhat better than the nonprofit’s observations in 2021. However, he noted that the 2022 swim season had seen less rain, which causes runoff and generally leads to higher E. coli measurements.
“Sources of pollution are not a mystery,” notes the report’s executive summary. MountainTrue identifies poor agricultural practices, failing wastewater systems and poorly managed development as the main causes of river contamination. Stress on the river is expected to increase, the report continues, as climate change drives heavier, more frequent storms and their resulting runoff.

Dawn Chávez leaves Asheville GreenWorks
One of Western North Carolina’s most influential environmental organizations is seeking new leadership following the departure of Dawn Chávez. The executive director of Asheville GreenWorks left the nonprofit June 2 after eight years to become the head of the national nonprofit Environmental Leadership Program.
Edward Macie, Asheville GreenWorks’ board chair, thanked Chávez for her service in a press release announcing the move. He noted that she had tripled the organization’s budget since taking the helm, established the Tree Protection Task Force and spearheaded successful campaigns for the city of Asheville to allocate more resources toward urban forestry. Most recently, Asheville City Council voted May 23 to lease 1.3 acres of city-owned land to GreenWorks for a new native tree nursery at $1 annually.
Eric Bradford, the nonprofit’s operations director, will serve as interim executive director until a permanent replacement is named, likely by January. The new leader will be charged with carrying out GreenWorks’ updated strategic direction, which focuses on building equity and local resilience to climate change.

With many companies offering their products in this category of house materials made from great variety of woods, white oak engineered flooring retains its leading positions in production and sales. Its durability and pleasing aesthetics liked by majority of customers, and manufacturers and retailers provide it in abundant amounts. Usually it consists of three layers of wood with plywood addition and a bit of hardwood veneer on top of it. Of course, core of this construction is made of solid oak wood, otherwise manufacturers would not call it like that.
With heavy competition on this market, nearly all shops offer free sample. It is possible to order it together with specialized technician, who will test it on location and offer few helpful advices. Oak was always considered to be one the very best possible materials for furniture crafting. Even in Medieval Times, Lords and Princes ordered beds made of this fine wood. So, no wonder that engineered oak flooring holds its value against competitors made of different, cheaper wood.
However, if you are on budget or doing temporary renovations, engineered maple flooring will be wise choice. Just like maple flooring, or any other common wood from your trusted furniture makers. These products are somewhat “afraid” of organic waste. Because of this, caution is advised when installing this flooring at sensitive rooms with high chances of spilling something, such as kitchen or garage. If you do, try to protect it with additional layer of laminate.

The 2020 Infiniti Q60 coupe carries over with minimal changes this year, and we’re OK with that. While newer and more sophisticated luxury performance coupes challenge the Q60, there’s something comforting in this slick 2-door’s simple and straightforward interior, clean lines and reasonable price tag. The Q60’s cockpit is small and cargo space in short supply, but that’s the case for most others in this class. There are no massive view screens, no digital instrument cluster and no ultra high-end audio, although the available Bose system does a pretty good job here. Where the Infiniti Q60 shines brightest is on the road, thanks to its available 400 horsepower twin-turbocharged V6 in the Q60 Red Sport 400. Combined with a taut suspension, excellent steering feedback and a willing transmission, the Q60 can deliver thrills for hours yet still makes a very livable daily driver as sophisticated as it is stylish.
What’s New for 2020?
For 2020, the Q60 gets Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard equipment. See the 2020 Infiniti Q60 models for sale near you
What We Like
- Gorgeous exterior design
- Elegant, sporty interior design
- Robust performance with 300-horsepower and 400-hp V6 engines
- Wide range of performance personalization
What We Don’t
- Access to rear seats is tough
- No manual transmission available for enthusiasts
- Direct Adaptive Steering still a little remote
- Full suite of driver assists and collision mitigation should be standard at this price
$42,375-$63,500 (includes $1,025 destination fee)
The Q60 3.0t rear-wheel drive (RWD) comes with a 300-hp 3.0-liter turbo V6 and is rated at 19 miles per gallon in the city, 28 mpg on the highway and 22 mpg in combined driving, while the all-wheel-drive version comes in at 19 mpg city/27 mpg hwy/22 mpg combined. The Q60 Red Sport 400 wrings 400 hp out of its 3.0-liter turbo V6 and can achieve 20 mpg city/27 mpg hwy/22 mpg combined. Add AWD and fuel economy slumps a little to 19 mpg city/26 mpg hwy/21 mpg combined.
Standard Features & Options
The Q60 3.0t Pure ($42,375, RWD), ($44,375, AWD) include LED headlights, fog lamps and taillights, power heated outside mirrors with integrated LED turn signals, 19-in alloy wheels and dual chrome exhaust pipes. Interior features include proximity key and push-button ignition, dual-zone climate control, leatherette seating, brushed aluminum trim, 8-way power front seats, a 6-speaker audio system with an auxiliary audio input and two USB ports, Bluetooth, satellite radio, HD Radio, a CD player, Infiniti InTouch dual display system screens (8-in upper/7-in lower), Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a rearview monitor, a tilt-and-telescopic steering column and cruise control.
The Q60 3.0t Luxe ($45,525, RWD), ($48,525, AWD) includes all of the features in the PURE and adds forward emergency braking with pedestrian detection, predictive forward-collision warning, a power moonroof, a 13-speaker Bose Performance Series audio system and HomeLink.
Three option packages are available, including The Essential package ($3,200) that adds leather seating, heated front seats and steering wheel, navigation, InTouch services, a power tilt-and-telescopic steering column, remote start, auto-dimming side mirrors with a reverse tilt down feature and driver’s seat memory with power lumbar and side bolsters. The Leather Seating package ($1,350) is pretty self-explanatory. Last is the ProAssist package ($1,650) that brings rain-sensing wipers, front and rear parking sensors, the Around View Monitor with moving-object detection, blind spot monitoring and backup-collision intervention.
The Q60 Red Sport 400 ($58,175, RWD), ($60,175, AWD) is powered by a 400-hp 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged engine. It adds or replaces the equipment on the Luxe with new exhaust tips, red-painted brake calipers, unique 20-in staggered alloy wheels, red S badges, a dynamic digital suspension, paddle shifters, semi-aniline leather seats, carbon-fiber interior trim, sport brakes, a power tilt-and-telescopic steering wheel with memory and the full contents of the Luxe Essential and ProAssist package.
Optional equipment includes the ProActive package ($2,850) that includes auto-leveling adaptive front lighting and high-beam assist, adaptive radar cruise control, adaptive steering, distance-control assist, an Eco pedal, an advanced climate control system, front-seat pre-crash seat belts, blind spot monitoring, and lane-departure warning and prevention with active lane control.
All Q60 models come with six airbags, LATCH connectors for child safety seats, brake assist, anti-lock brakes with electronic brake-force distribution, advanced vehicle dynamic control and traction control, tire-pressure monitoring and an emergency inside trunk release.
Optional safety features include backup-collision intervention, blind spot monitoring, predictive forward-collision warning, forward emergency braking with pedestrian detection, blind spot intervention, adaptive cruise control, lane-departure warning and lane-departure intervention with active lane control and front-seat pre-crash seat belts.
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has not yet released ratings for the 2020 Q60.
Behind the Wheel
We spent our time shuttling between 3.0t Luxe and Red Sport 400 models during our time with the 2020 Infiniti Q60. The test vehicles were heavily optioned, which gave us a chance to experience the leather seats, premium Bose sound system, moonroof and other premium features.
Infiniti made an interesting choice with the center stack and driver interface by placing a 7-in touchscreen control directly below the 8-in navigation screen and replacing many of the buttons and knobs that provided broad functionality with screen inputs. The resulting clean, relatively uncomplicated interface rewards you with simple operation once you’ve invested some time setting it up and familiarizing yourself with it.
The difference between the two power plants on the road appears both off the line and when accelerating at higher speeds. The 400-hp Red Sport models have forceful thrust, but the power is easily managed with the throttle pedal. The 300-hp 3.0t is no slouch, either, with sufficient power but without that added boost that throws you back in your seat. Turbo lag is nearly nonexistent, as the 7-speed automatic transmission is geared to deliver smooth shifts and transitions.
The Q60’s multiple by-wire interfaces — steering, throttle, transmission — and available electronic suspension control all collaborate to deliver a surprisingly immediate, connected driving experience. We sometimes wished for a more natural feel with the steering system but appreciated the improvement over the previous generation’s numbness. As demanded from a premium coupe, the Q60’s cabin is whisper-quiet on the road, with just enough of the V6’s voice in the background under hard charging.
Other Cars to Consider
2020 BMW 4 Series — The Ultimate Driving Machine still represents the target for premium performance coupes.
Infiniti is right: Nobody needs a coupe, but everybody dreams of owning one. The 2020 Infiniti Q60 will inspire a lot of fantasies, and the reality of owning one could be equally inspiring. The 400-hp Red Sport models offer fulfillment, but your rational side will be satisfied with one of the 300-hp 3.0t models. Splurge on AWD if you live in a northern climate, or enjoy the savings and handling of RWD if you don’t have to fight snow and slush come winter. Find an Infiniti Q60 for sale

The Star Online (29/10/2019) - PETALING JAYA: The commodities market, especially crude oil and crude palm oil (CPO) has been climbing steadily in the final quarter of 2019.
The markets are seeing some stability after months of declines which occurred owing largely to an oversupply situation which had caused an imbalance.
Analysts are optimistic that the markets are expected to continue to look better, at least for now.
The three-month CPO future closed at RM2,398 on Friday, its highest since June 6 last year at RM2,394.
The price has soared 13.06% on a year-to-date basis and as far as the outlook for 2020 is concerned, analysts are expecting CPO prices to average around RM2,300.
There are a few reasons why Malaysia’s CPO prices would improve and stabilise at that level next year and it revolves around having more demand than supply.
Also, it is less than three months away to January where Indonesia will need to fulfil its mandate or implementing the biodiesel programme with a 30% bio-content, known as B30.
This is to increase palm oil consumption locally in Indonesia and to reduce energy imports.
The move will see a growth in demand globally and this would then allow Malaysia to up its export game.
Indonesia has always been the top palm oil exporter with a market share of around 55% while Malaysia plays second fiddle with around 29% of the global palm oil exports.
India is the largest palm oil importer in the world. It imported some 9 million tonnes last year at around US$5.5bil (RM23.02bil).
Figures from the Malaysian Palm Oil Council showed that Malaysia exported 2.51 million tonnes to India last year, which accounts for around 15% of Malaysia’s total palm oil exports.
While there seems to be threats of boycott on Malaysia’s palm oil due to the criticisms by Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad towards India, industry observers are brushing it off as speculations.
The Solvent Extractors’ Association of India, which represents oilseed crushers, advised its members not to buy palm oil from Malaysia while Tamil Nadu Congress Committee, a political body, has urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi government not to reduce palm oil imports from Malaysia.
To date, the Indian government has yet to state its stance on the matter.
Besides India, Malaysia also exports palm oil to over 170 countries, among which the major exports were to China, Pakistan and the Netherlands.
Other than that, CPO prices are also expected to rise on the back of lower fertilisation and dry weather which will affect the supply.
Maybank Investment Bank Research said in a report on Oct 22 that investors should look to a stronger CPO price recovery next year based on the anticipated tightening of palm oil supply in 2020 to 2021 on biological tree stress and slower growth in mature oil palm area.
This is due to the lack of new plantings in Indonesia and Malaysia since 2015.
As for crude oil, the Brent has risen 4.15% over the past three months to US$61.69 yesterday.
Bloomberg reported that oil was steady after the biggest weekly advance in view of progress in the prolonged United States and China trade tension.
The United States had said that it was close to finalising the first phase of a trade deal while China said parts of the text for that agreement are “basically completed”.
It also reported that oil bulls were rebuilding their positions but it might take some major news to shake the market out of its current mood and trigger a sustained rally.
CFRA Research Inc analyst Stewart Glickman told the agency that some recent events were unusual, such as the attacks on Saudi Arabia’s oil refinery last month where the market saw a quick uptick but then shrugged it off pretty quickly.

So if you aren't aware of things, I kinda went super psycho crazy on twitter last night about Kanye West's closing performance at Coachella while it was LIVE on youtube.
Yup, I definitely went THERE. I was kinda embarrassing like that annoying stage mom at her daughters first ballet recital or Tyra Banks watching herself on the intro of America's Next
Never Will Be Top Model (you know she orgasms at the site of herself.). I exploded in Kanye awesomeness and you know what, I have no shame. I was definitely caught off guard because I'm no Kanye fan. I only wanted to view his performance because I knew something crazy would happen because of his antics, so I didn't want to miss out. Plus it was THE CLOSING of Coachella. I did not know that I'd be blown away by 1. his killerly EPIC Gypsy MANfit and 2. by the artistry of his performance.
He's like Lady Gaga to me; I like the music, hate the person but overall couldn't care too much. So me saying that I am now on Team Kanye is a BIG DEAL. I never thought I'd ever say such a thing but here I am and rightfully so. The guy just performed the fuck out of his heart (yes, I'm also amazed he has one too!) and left me stunned. Capital S, T, U, N, N, E, D! I was enthralled, hypnotized, crazed, and everything in between. I haven't seen so much passion, dedication, and love like I did during his performance. It was resonating and I could feel everything going through his mind and body. He. Killed. It. Sure, he's sure a big douchebag but right now, I applaud Kanye as an artist. Before you guys think the Illuminati has gotten to me, you can go youtube his performance and see that I'm not crazy for praising the guy.
But onto his MANfit...
** I already gave a lowdown and more live screencaptures in the post before this, so check that out if you haven't yet.**
I was soo taken aback by Ye that I had to blog while he was performing LIVE. Crazy shit, I know! I was for sure possessed by the fashion spirits. Now that I think of it, I'm pretty sure I was one of the first if not FIRST to blog about his MANfit. Awesome. But here it is again:
The star of the MANfit is definitely the silk print shirt from the Céline S/S 2011 collection. It's free-flowing form was perfect for the modern hippie occasion that is Coachella. Actually, it IS Coachella! So extreme props to his styling team and Kanye for busting it out. But not only does it look like part of a desert gypsy dream but seeing that it's womenswear, I hope it'll make creative director Phoebe Philo want to create some Céline mensgear now. Seriously, can you freaking imagine!?? We can all potentially thank Kanye for this. And the MANcessories!?? Orgasm! You all know I have a deep and chronic infatuation with MANcessories - damn it, I call them 'MANcessories' for crying out loud! - so when I saw him raise his hands and I caught his pack of stacked mixed beaded and brass bracelets, my pupils dialated and my eyes glazed over. I died. It was waay too glorious. It's everything that I fucking love for the spring/summer season and have been rocking lately. And his golden layered bling was a legit touch because this whole MANfit was totally out of left field for Kanye and I felt like it was his way of Kanye-ing it out- it's Coachella Kanye. The jeans were chill and the shoes are apparently his new Nike Air Yeezy ones but I don't care too much for them, so you can google for them or whatever.
Kanye wore the same red suit (I think?) from his VMA's performance at the end of his Coachella shindig and I think it was meant more for adding bold power to his already powerful masterpiece of a performance than for actual fashion musings-- his first MANfit did that and then some. But here are some more LIVE screen captures I snapped last night and I even got some stellar ones of his MANcessory lineup.
I had noticed that Kanye had been doing quite well in the styling department in the past year but because I loathed his persona, I was blinded by how chill his style truly is. But after this Coachella greatness, the kid has all my respect stylewise. Not only that but I am also all over Kanye - the artist - after his performance of undiluted genius and insanely wondrous theatrics. Who would of thunk it. I'm still in shock.
What about you guys? Did you catch Ye's performance? Thoughts?

My sister tells me I am now the matriarch. A friend refers to me as the ‘Keystone” (one who takes the lead). I refer to myself as my Mother’s Mother… our roles have reversed and believe me it is an intimidating and frightening reversal. She is still the ‘leader of the band” but time has slowed her march. The baton has been passed to me. It is a calling I approached with love and compassion but it is nevertheless often terrifying and unsettling. My siblings and I have made a pact “no nursing home” however as the confusion of memory grows dimmer I know we will need to make tough decisions. She is our first love the one who stayed when our father said goodbye, the one who stuck it out through the emptiness of a father in flight.
“I was born for a time such as this.” I join the tribe of daughters honoring and nurturing their mothers through the fear of everything. To live long enough to enter into the place where all of life is viewed as suspicious is a scary place to reside. I have a list of intentions for 2019 one is to practice the mindfulness of letting go in the hopes that if my mind lives long enough to reside in a much older body I will not take grief and regret with me as companions. And so I turn my life over to Divine Wisdom, God knows all I have experienced from the very beginning of my life the things I still hold with sadness and regret and need to release. From this day forward I am an open and willing vessel ready to receive the very best within my mind, my heart, my body temple and my life.
AND SO IT IS, AND SO I LET IT BE, AMEN…….
2019 All things are becoming new!
God Blesses Always

ISDA Adds European IRDs to Swapsinfo
Posted by Colin Lambert. Last updated: August 11, 2021
ISDA is expanding its SwapsInfo analysis to include interest rate derivatives (IRD) trading activity reported in Europe.
The analysis, which ISDA says is believed to be the first of its kind, is based on transactions publicly reported by 30 European approved publication arrangements and trading venues for May 2021. Previously the Swapsinfo report covered data from US markets.
The report analyses European transactions based on the location of reporting venues (EU versus UK), currency, product taxonomy, execution venue and cleared status.
The analysis also compares European IRD reported trading activity to what is reported in the US. US trading activity analysis is based on information from the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation swap data repository, which only includes trades that are required to be disclosed under US regulations.
The first report highlights how the UK remains the dominant trading centre, with total IRD traded notional of $7.9 trillion in May 2021, 73.7% of all European trade in the product. Fixed-for-floating interest rate swaps make up almost half of trading in the UK, while the same product is 65% of trading in the European Union’s $2.8 trillion volume.
The report says that 65.8% of total UK IRD is cleared, while in the EU that number is 53.1%.
Both centres were dwarfed by the US report, with $15.7 trillion being traded in May, almost 60% of the total across the three jurisdictions. Fixed-for-floating IRS was 44.9% of volume and 75.2% of transactions were cleared.

Pelvic Fistula Specialist
Dr. Daniel Stone, MD FACOG
Urogynecologist located in Phoenix, AZ
Dr. Daniel Stone, MD is one of the leading experts in the surgical management of pelvic fistulas. Dr. Stone can diagnosis and provides management options for pelvic fistulas to patients in the Phoenix, Scottsdale and surrounding Arizona areas. By correcting this extremely bothersome condition, women can get back to their normal life.
Pelvic Fistula Q&A
What is a Fistula and what are the different types of pelvic fistulas?
Fistulas are an abnormal connection between two body parts that aren’t normally connected. These divided into the following groups:
- Genitourinary Fistulas
- Vesicovaginal – Connection between the bladder and vagina.
- Urethovaginal – Connection between urethra and vagina.
- Vesicouterine – Connection between bladder and uterus.
- Vesicocervical – Connection between bladder and cervix.
- Ureterovaginal - Connection between the ureter and vagina.
- Rectovaginal Fistulas – Connection between the rectum and vagina
- Colovaginal Fistulas – Connection between the colon and vagina. These fistulas are treated by colorectal surgeons.
- Genitourinary Fistulas
What are the symptoms of a Pelvic Fistula?
- Genitourinary fistulas present as constant urinary leakage from the vagina.
- Rectovaginal fistulas present as accidental bowel leakage from the vagina, air escaping from the vagina, vaginal infections, or bad-smelling vaginal discharge.
Why do Fistulas form?
They form due to damage to the tissue. Depending on the cause of this tissue damage, fistulas can form within days to years. The causes of pelvic fistulas are listed below:
- Childbirth – A long labor can lead to tissue damage and fistulas. This can lead to rectovaginal, vesicovaginal or urethrovaginal fistulas. This is rarely seen in the United States but the most common cause of fistula worldwide.
- Surgery - Pelvic fistulas can be a complication of pelvic surgery including hysterectomies, and reconstructive vaginal surgery.
- Cancer – fistulas can occur due to cancer itself or due to radiation that is used to treat cancer. These types of fistulas are very difficult to treat due to the poor tissue quality caused by the radiation.
- Foreign Bodies - Any type of foreign body that is left in place can lead to tissue damage and fistula formation. Pessaries, when left in place for a long time, can lead to fistulas in rare circumstances.
- Chronic bowel conditions: Diverticulitis or inflammatory bowel disease (Crohns or Ulcerative colitis) can lead to tissue damage and fistula formation. Although Dr. Stone can assist in the diagnosis of fistulas, he does not treat fistulas due to chronic bowel conditions and instead would set you up with a colorectal surgeon and GI doctor.
How are Genitourinary Fistulas diagnosed?
Dr. Stone will ask you about your symptoms and when they started and then perform a pelvic exam. Sometimes he may place special dyes into the bladder to determine where the leakage is coming from. He may recommend other tests as well such as a cystoscopy or CT scan.
How are Genitourinary Fistulas treated?
Depending on the size, location, and reason for the fistula, Dr. Stone will discuss different options with you. If the fistula is small, the placement of a catheter for 4-6 weeks may help the fistula to close on its own. A ureterovaginal fistula is present, a ureteral stent can help with healing.
If those options don’t work, or it is a large fistula, then surgery would be required. 95% of Dr. Stone’s surgeries result in a successful resolution of the fistula. Surgery can be done vaginally, or robotically depending on the location of the fistula. After surgery, you will need a urinary catheter for 2 weeks.
How are Rectovaginal Fistulas diagnosed?
Dr. Stone will ask you about your symptoms and when they started and then perform a pelvic exam. Dr. Stone may use dye to help see the fistula if it is small. Sometimes a small metal probe is used to locate the fistula if it is hard to find. Occasionally, Dr. Stone will order and perform a transanal ultrasound to determine if the fistula involves the anal sphincters.
How are Rectovaginal Fistulas treated?
Depending on the cause, size, and location, Dr. Stone will discuss several options with you. If the cause of the injury was recent, he may discuss watching and waiting to see if the tissue can heal with time. If you have inflammatory bowel disease, medications can help with healing and reducing inflammation.
If a surgical treatment is decided on, Dr. Stone performs this surgery vaginally. The surgery involves removing the fistula tract and bringing together the different layers of tissue. Sometimes, Dr. Stone will use a graft from the surrounding tissue to help with healing.

The judge said that the sale of gutka is banned and in such circumstances, there is no reason for the company to indulge in a surrogate advertisement for the promotion of a product which it cannot sell in the country.
The DGHS claimed that in 2005, rules were laid down to ban the advertisement of tobacco products but the company carried out a surrogate ad campaign whereby the product 'Dilbagh Pan Masala' was advertised to promote tobacco products under the brand name 'Dilbagh'.
The health department said that 'Dilbagh' is a registered trademark for various tobacco products. This trademark is also registered for chewing tobacco, zarda, etc, it stated, adding that "the brand name of a tobacco product cannot be used for other products."
The company engaged in the business of selling pan masala of the brand name 'Dilbagh', however, said that the advertisement is not in violation of any law.
It claimed that their pan masala is 100 percent tobacco-free and that only pan masala having tobacco is covered by the COTP Act. It also sought damages to the tune of Rs 5,00,000.
The judge, while granting interim relief to the pan masala company, said the DGHS nowhere claimed that 'Dilbagh pan masala' contained any tobacco, nicotine, or any other banned substance.
"It can be summarised that the product in question is not alleged to be containing any tobacco or other banned substance. The sale of gutka is banned throughout the country. There is no reason or occasion for the plaintiff to advertise its tobacco products through 'indirect advertisement'. Accordingly, the plaintiff has a prima facie case," he said.
He said that if the advertisement for the product in question is stopped during the pendency of this suit, it will cause a loss of revenue as well as goodwill which will be irreparable.

UAB basketball has several reasons to be excited heading into the 2013-14 season: they went 8-5 down the stretch, return nearly their entire team save for Terrence Jones, and look to be a contender in the new-look Conference USA.
On Friday afternoon, assistant coach Rob Ehsan tweeted out another reason that UAB can be excited for the coming season:
According to the UAB athletics website:
The current 1,010 square foot locker room will be expanded to approximately 1,500 square feet and include a state-of-the-art locker room and team lounge. The enhanced locker room will also include a coaches locker room and lounge, nutrition room, and walnut wood veneer player lockers.
Blaze, a fire-breathing European dragon and official mascot of the UAB, certainly has a prominent place in the locker room, don’t you think?

The South Cyprus Electricity Authority has warned of power cuts to come, leaving thousands of homes and businesses without power, if customers do not pay their bills. In addition, electricity workers may not receive their monthly salaries as the electricity authority is short of cash because of unpaid bills.
The head of the EAC board of executives said that banking institutions have withdrawn the EAC’s 35 million euro overdraft facilities, with the situation compounded by 30 million euro of unpaid bills from customers.
According to the EAC, 350,000 euro in cheques sent to the organisation have bounced. The head of the EAC appealed to all its clients to settle their bills.
The EAC warned that if bills remain unpaid, they would have no choice but to resume power cuts in the near future.

Mayor Nagin marks Katrina anniversary with focus on future
By Eileen Fleming
New Orleans, La. – Mayor Nagin attended several memorial events, starting with a bell-ringing ceremony to remember the more than 18-hundred people killed by Katrina. But he also promoted an outdoor festival at Armstrong Park to celebrate progress that's been made.
He says the city is moving ahead.
Nagin says the city estimates the population is now about 80 percent of pre-Katrina numbers. He says the biggest challenges are the fight against crime and blight, and inadequate mental health services and general health care.


AMAC Exclusive – By Andrew Abbott
Last month, Carmen Best, the first black woman to serve as Seattle’s police chief, joined Microsoft as the Global Security Risk Operations director after resigning from her post in August of 2020. The news is the latest in a wave of senior law enforcement officials permanently leaving public service for the private sector after the “Defund the Police” movement led to an all-out war on law enforcement by progressive activists and “woke” city governments nearly two years ago. While most cities have frantically tried to reverse course and “Refund the Police” amid a predictable surge in crime, the story of Carmen Best is a tragic illustration of how the loss of law enforcement experience and leadership as a result of Defund the Police is likely irreversible, and will be felt across America for decades to come.
Carmen Best began her career in law enforcement in 1992. After 26 years of working her way up from officer to captain, she became Seattle’s first black female Chief of Police in 2018. She immediately recognized that a lack of officers was hindering effective policing and putting citizens’ lives at risk. Within a year, she grew the department by 110 officers, 40% of whom were black. Recruiting such a diverse cohort of officers when progressives were already increasingly critical of policing was a significant accomplishment, and helped stem the wave of crime that had been gripping Seattle for years.
After the death of George Floyd in 2020, however, violent protests spread throughout Seattle. While Best worked to contain the protests, Seattle’s City Council actively encouraged them. Councilwoman Kshama Sawant, a member of the “Socialist Alternative,” had a history of encouraging protesters to engage in “civil disobedience” that often devolved into violence. She was hardly alone. After a subordinate of Best ordered the abandonment of Seattle’s East Precinct (without Best’s knowledge), protesters immediately moved into the area. They established the so-called “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone,” aka “CHAZ” – declaring the area an autonomous country separate from the United States.
The rioters refused to abandon the area unless the police department budget was cut by 50 percent and all protesters were given blanket amnesty for their actions. The media claimed the occupation was a result of overly aggressive policing, and Best would later accuse the media of intentionally ignoring the mob violence to promote the narrative that the protests were “mostly peaceful.”
While Best wanted to clear the area, on June 11, progressive Mayor Jenny Dirkan supported the occupation, stating on CNN, “We could have the summer of love.” Only after reports of extreme violence and several shootings within CHAZ was Best finally permitted to clear the area on July 1. City Councilmember Sawant ridiculously blamed the shootings on President Donald Trump and suggested the gunmen were “right-wing” activists who had infiltrated CHAZ. She later conceded that she “appears to be incorrect.”
Despite spiking crime rates, the city council decided to honor the mob’s demands and pushed to cut Seattle’s police budget by 50%. This was to be implemented in increments, starting with reducing the police force by 100 officers. Best, however, vehemently opposed this plan.
Among her many concerns, she noted that police, like all union-backed jobs, have a “last-in-first-out” policy, meaning that when layoffs occur, it is the most junior officers who get laid off first. This ensures that the government can’t lay off police near their 20-year retirement and protects more experienced officers. In Seattle’s case, this meant Best would have to fire all of the new recruits, of which 40 percent were minorities, and many were female.
Seattle City Council Member Lisa Herbold quickly decided she had a solution: fire only white police officers. On June 19, she demanded Best lay off police “out of order” to protect black police officers. Much of the council supported her proposal. Police Chief Best found this unconscionable, illegal, and refused to do so. “We cannot do layoffs based on race,” she said. “I would love for Councilmember Herbold to work with us and not against us, ensuring we have a viable number of officers.”
The Council continued to pressure her and even cut her salary. Finally, in August, Best announced her resignation from the police force, the latest victim of the radical left’s crusade for “racial equity.” She explicitly cited the City Council’s “budget cuts and lack of respect for SPD” as the motivating factors in her resignation. After the announcement, Sawant suggested it was “time for her to go,” accused her of enabling “racism,” and said Best had provided a “service” to “the capitalist class in pushing back against the Black Lives Matter movement at the height of its power.” As it turns out, the cuts were not necessary; by the end of 2020, over 200 police officers resigned alongside her.
Fast forward to last week, two years after Best’s ousting, when Seattle’s City Council approved $2.3 million in new equipment and training for police. Additionally, the Council’s 2022 police budget called for another 125 police officers and is offering generous hiring bonuses to stem the mass resignations plaguing the city. The department has only hired seven new officers this year while losing 34.
Mayor Jenny Dirkan did not run for reelection and has expressed “regret” over her “summer of love” comments. She was replaced by moderate Democrat Bruce Harrell who won his race by a landslide, campaigning on reversing the effects of the “Defund the Police” movement. One of his two primary opponents supported abolishing “the police department and jail,” while the other tweeted that her Christmas 2020 wish was to see Seattle police “catch COVID.”
In the mainstream media, a popular narrative has taken hold of the ongoing discussion over race and justice in America. To progressives, there are two groups: those who fight, sometimes imperfectly, for social justice, and those who do not. But no matter how imperfectly the former may fight, the left believes that they are inherently good because they are on the side of “justice” and “equity.” Conversely, those who oppose their measures are either racists or complicit in racism due to their ignorance.
But what happens when facts and reality become inconvenient truths for those who promote those narratives? Carmen Best is a good example. Instead of backing the black female police chief who devoted herself to diversifying her police force and making Seattle a better, safer place to live, the radical left backed the violent mob that destroyed everything in its path, all in the name of “racial justice.” In doing so, the progressive politicians and activists responsible for driving Best and so many other good police officers from the law enforcement profession revealed that at the core of their ideology is not a principled desire for “equality,” but rather a ruthless quest for power that has similarly characterized tyrants and bullies throughout history.

"I Was Jack (You Were Diane)" is the most-added record at country radio for a second consecutive week.
"I'm so ecstatic about the launch of this new music and single," says Owen. "Big Loud Records has done an incredible job launching this new project for me and believing in who I am and what kind of music I'm drawn to make. Joey Moi, once again, helped elevate the song to a whole other level, and we are all fired up about this start to a great 2018. Thanks country radio for believing in me!"
"Jake delivered a huge record and country radio showed up big for us," adds Stacy Blythe, Big Loud's National Promotion Director. "134 stations by add date is a debut we couldn't even imagine. I'm very proud of this Big Loud family and this is just the start!"
Clay Hunnicutt, President of Big Loud Records, expresses, "Thank you to everyone who has helped Jake and the Big Loud team get off to such an amazing start. This far exceeded our expectations. There's a proven track record that Jake and Joey Moi make great music together, so we really shouldn't be surprised."
"I Was Jack (You Were Diane)" was an iHeart World Premiere, and Sirius XM's "The Highway" blasted it out of the gate. The new nostalgic single is garnering attention from digital media partners as well. Jake graced the cover of Spotify's Hot Country playlist, featuring "I Was Jack (You Were Diane)." Also, the song topped Amazon Music's Fresh Country playlist and was added to Apple Music's A-List Country playlist, as well as, Pandora's New Country Now playlist.
In addition, Owen's 2018 "Life's Whatcha Make It Tour" kicks off on May 15th in Chattanooga, TN, at AT&T Field, with special guest Chris Janson and rising star Jordan Davis. The majority of shows will take place at baseball stadiums across the country. Check it out HERE. Tickets on sale NOW.

CHICAGO–(ENEWSPF)–May 3, 2011. Six months after the Cemetery Oversight Act’s on-line database became active, more than 17,900 burials have been electronically recorded in the statewide database, the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulations (IDFPR) announced today. IDFPR estimates that nearly 75% of burials in the State are now being entered into the database. By creating the State’s first comprehensive burial records database, families will have a place to turn if they are unable to find the location of a loved one’s grave.
“One of the most rewarding outcomes of the Cemetery Oversight Database is the knowledge that this tool will be able to assist future generations in locating the final resting place of their loved ones and ancestors,” said Brent Adams, Secretary of Financial and Professional Regulation.
Governor Quinn signed the historic Cemetery Oversight Act last year to protect bereaved families coping with decisions about funerals, burials, and the long-term maintenance of their loved one’s gravesite. The law implemented many of the reforms and recommendations of the Cemetery Oversight Task Force, which was created by the Governor in response to the tragedy at Burr Oak Cemetery in Alsip.
“The database has enabled cemeteries that relied solely on paper records to upgrade to an electronic database at a reasonable cost,” said LuAnn Johnson, Executive Director of Oak Ridge Cemetery in Springfield. Cemeteries entering data into the database pay an average of $1.80 per burial.
In March 2010, a new Consumer Bill of Rights took effect and established a consumer hotline (1-888-RLOVED1) within IDFPR to give grieving families a “one-stop-shop” for making complaints or asking questions regarding their legal rights. Since the law took effect, IDFPR has handled nearly 200 calls from consumers.
“Legislation passed last month by the Illinois Senate would eliminate many of the consumer protections we worked so hard to include in the Cemetery Oversight Act,” said Rep. Monique Davis (D-Chicago), a chief proponent of cemetery reform. “It’s imperative that the focus of any future cemetery legislation be to make the law work better for consumers, not for cemetery management.”
The legislation passed by the Senate (SB 1853) would eliminate the Cemetery Oversight Database and would make IDFPR and the State’s Attorneys in each of Illinois’ 102 counties responsible for handling consumer complaints.
As a result of the Cemetery Oversight Act, all death care operations, including embalming, funeral services, and burials, are now overseen by the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation. IDFPR licenses more than one million professionals in nearly 100 industries and monitors financial institutions with more than $4 trillion in assets.

Dr. Conrad Murray's lawyers say the L.A. County District Attorney still hasn't turned over the investigative documents and reports in the death of Michael Jackson ... and they say they smell a rat.
A rep for Murray's lawyer, Ed Chernoff, tells TMZ, "We remain confused by how suspiciously slow the D.A. has been in turning over the documents." The rep says Chernoff and his team "have not received anywhere near all of it."
According to the rep, the last docs they received were turned over more than two weeks ago.
As for the documents Dr. Murray's team has received, they've turned them over to their medical experts and the private investigator for review.
A rep for the D.A.'s Office tells TMZ, "The District Attorney's office is turning them over as soon as they are copied and cataloged. There is a huge number of documents and the process takes time."

Investment expected to save or create tens of thousands of jobs.
President Barack Obama has announced that $8 billion to develop America’s first nationwide programme of high-speed intercity passenger rail service.
Awarded by the U.S. Department of Transportation, the funding will serve as a down-payment on developing or laying the groundwork for 13 new, large-scale high-speed rail corridors across the country.
The major corridors are part of a total of 31 states receiving investments, including smaller projects and planning work that will help lay the groundwork for future high-speed intercity rail service.
$1.25 will develop a new high-speed rail corridor between Tampa and Orlando with trains up to 168 miles per hour and $2.25 billion to connect Los Angeles to San Francisco and points in between with trains running up to 220 miles per hour.
Funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, this investment is expected to create or save tens of thousands of jobs over time in areas like track-laying, manufacturing, planning and engineering, and rail maintenance and operations.
Over 30 domestic and foreign rail manufacturers have agreed to establish or expand their base of operations in the United States if they are hired to build America’s next generation high-speed rail lines.
In addition to the $8 billion awarded, the plan also included $1 billion a year for five years in the federal budget as a down payment to jump-start the programme. Applicants submitted over $55 billion in project proposals for the initial $8 billion in funds.
Obama said: “Through the Recovery Act, we are making the largest investment in infrastructure since the Interstate Highway System was created.”
“That investment is how we can break ground across the country, putting people to work building high-speed rail lines, because there’s no reason why Europe or China should have the fastest trains when we can build them right here in America.”

Use this interactive chart to find out where your Lackawanna County community ranks.
MAKING THE CHART: Assessment data for property tax calculations provided by the Lackawanna County Assessor's Office. The data for residential properties was current as of April 3, 2019. Figures for wage taxes are based on 2017 estimates in U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey. Figures are for individual workers. Household incomes will be higher.
NOTE: Covington Twp. median assessed value does not include Eagle Lake properties.
(c) Tax burden calculated by adding a resident's total wage and property taxes, dividing that value by the median earnings and multiplying by 1000.
* Scranton's real estate tax rates are different for land and buildings, the only municipality to calculate real estate taxes that way. The county was unable to provide updates median residential assessed values for land and buildings. So, to calculate city taxes in Scranton, the newspaper used a single millage equivalent of 89.48 mills. The newspaper derived the single millage equivalent with the assistance of the Pennsylvania Economy League.

This just proves that being famous doesn't automatically make you a clothing designer
Avril Lavinge's line "Abbey Dawn" stopped being sold at Kohl's in 2008. However, it's still available on her website and even showed at Fashion Week in September of 2011, which seems odd, since so many reviewers were left asking how someone with such poor fashion sense could be allowed to design a clothing line.
It's very "Avril" (aka: teeny bopper overload), which obviously attracted a very small percentage of girls ages 12 to 14. "If you like skulls, glitter, and graffiti, then 'Abby Dawn' is where you'll want to shop," says one critic. To sum it all up, here's what another critic says: "Perhaps Abby Dawn's 'What The Hell' t-shirt isn't just referring to Avril's latest single."

Statement of the problem: Information on the etiology of Lyme Neuroborreliosis (LNB) in children in Europe and the influence of B. burgdorferi sensu lato species isolated from Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) on clinical presentation of LNB in children are limited.
Methodology: The study was monocentric. During its 17-year period, children younger than 15 years with presentation suggestive of LNB or confirmed Lyme borreliosis that had B. burgdorferi sensu lato isolated from CSF and had species of B. burgdorferi sensu lato identified by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis were included. Demographic and medical data were compared for children infected with B. garinii to those infected with B. afzelii.
Findings: 153 children had Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato isolated from CSF. In 71/113 (62.8%) B. garinii and in 42/113 (37.2%) B. afzelii were identified. Patients infected with B. garinii did not report symptoms suggestive of CNS involvement or any other symptoms more often than patients infected with B. afzelii. Compared with children infected with B. afzelii, children infected with B. garinii had erythema migrans less often (18.3% vs. 45.2%), but had positive meningeal signs (69.0% vs. 38.1%), CSF lymphocytic predominance (97.1% vs. 75.0%), and elevated albumin CSF/serum quotient (80.6% vs. 50.0%) more often.
Conclusion & Significance: In Slovenia, LNB in children is more often caused by B. garinii, followed by B. afzelii. The clinical picture of LNB in children caused by B. garinii is not more often suggestive of CNS involvement, but CNS inflammation is more pronounced in children infected with B. garinii, compared with children infected with B. afzelii.

The library hosted a successful “World Café” on September 6 with community sessions in the morning and afternoon gaining valuable feedback from local residents and public officials as to the direction of our facilities studies. We now know that there is interest in a more modern library structure with lots of glass and light, as long as it is tastefully done and has something of a traditional feel.
The other input received is that participants were not averse to a single library facility and a majority felt that the current Main Library location would be the best site for renovation/expansion or new construction. In order to gauge the public’s views further, we have offered residents a chance to fill out our website survey on technology at the library, as well as to follow the same process as the World Cafe by choosing preferred library designs online.
We have also allowed library customers to share their other thoughts. Here are some of the comments received:
- The library must remain welcoming to a diverse population of patrons—age, socioeconomic status, literacy, culture, etc.
- The library needs to continue adventurous community programming, such as music, theater, readings, crafts, book discussions, etc.
- Layout of the facility should be intuitive, with periodic orientation opportunities, and have accessible shelving for all ages.
- There should be a central location if the facilities must be merged.
A school teacher opined that there is too much emphasis on DVDs and electronics in general. She would like to see students check out books instead of movies. She sees the library as a “quiet space to work” disappearing. She is less interested in the furnishings of the building or “being able to eat in the library” than in maintaining an educational atmosphere. In short, she believes the library “should be a place of learning.”
The challenge, then, is to find the right mix of facility design and library offerings to reach the widest audience and to satisfy the extremes of public tastes. People use libraries for a variety of reasons. After a long day in school, many students need time to unwind and enjoy a snack. More studying is the last thing on their minds. Many people come to the library to get books to read, or music to enjoy, or movies to watch just for the fun of it. Others come here for purposes as different as to study in our quiet areas, to search for jobs, to buy or pay for things online, or just to attend a meeting.
Our mission statement says it well: “Shaker Heights Public Library builds community and enriches lives by bringing together people, information, and ideas.” We cannot be all things to all people, but we can bring the best things to as many people as possible, whether the purpose is educational, cultural, informational, or recreational!
