The rates of the main cryptocurrencies dropped sharply as part of the correction to a fairly significant increase in the previous days. Against the backdrop of a large-scale decline in the price of digital assets, Binance has reported a record load on its infrastructure.
Bitcoin at 11.00 per day fell by 9.93% - up to $ 3,758 with a capitalization of $ 67.2 billion. At the same time, Coinbase said that it was preparing to add Bitcoin Cash support to the Coinbase Wallet. Ethereum by this time fell in price by 16.58% - to $ 136.2, its capitalization amounted to $ 14.6 billion. On February 27, there will be a hardfork Ethereum, which was previously postponed due to a vulnerability discovered in the code.
XRP for the day fell by 11.01% - up to $ 0.299 with a capitalization of $ 12.5 billion. Some support for this cryptocurrency was the message of the international currency exchange provider Mercury FX that it plans to open 10 new corridors in which the xRapid solution will be used. Thanks to this, Mercury will be able to use XRP.
Litecoin lost 16.12% and dropped to $ 43.7, its capitalization was $ 2.7 billion. The total capitalization of the crypto market has reached $ 128.6 billion.
According to financial scouts, the crypto market will continue to go down amid the urgent correction. Bitcoin can fall in price to $ 3,600, Ethereum - up to $ 130, XRP - up to $ 0.25–0.28, and Litecoin - up to $ 41– $ 42.

Winery events regulation continued indefinitely
By Jay Gamel
After spending four hours on a proposed threestory hotel in the Springs area, Commissioner Todd Tamura of the Sonoma County Planning Commission moved to defer a discussion on further changes to a draft ordinance aimed at regulating winery events in “areas of concentration,” like Sonoma Valley, as well as the entire county. The commission did not set a date for the future discussions. The July 15 discussion was itself a continuation of a June 3 public hearing where issues arose over definitions and boundaries in the proposed ordinance.
“Given the level of interest, I think it is appropriate to continue to a date uncertain so that staff is required to fully publicly notice the next meeting, just to be sure that there isn’t anyone who won’t get to participate,” Scott Orr said. Orr is the deputy director of planning for Permit Sonoma.
While the public hearing on the draft ordinance is technically closed, it will be reopened for public comments once staff has updated it with the information that emerged during the June 3 meeting.


NOBLESVILLE, Ind. (WISH) — People living in the Indianapolis metropolitan area are bracing for one of the worst storms of the season.
Emergency management officials in Hamilton County on Tuesday night were in the final hours of preparations ahead the storm’s arrival Wednesday afternoon.
Shane Booker, the executive director of Hamilton County Emergency Management, says they expect to issue travel advisories around 1 p.m. Wednesday and urge people to take precautions.
Booker says his team will have their eyes to the sky and on the streets. “It really is one of the major storms of the season.”
He says to keep a watchful eye. His crews will not only be out and about, but also monitoring nearly 50 cameras around the county. He says they will have emergency crews on standby.
“Some of the challenges that we’ll be looking at is just making sure that people slow down and communicating the travel advisory issues we see and then also making sure that we’re getting the message out and trying to get people to be take the time and be prepared before the storm,” Booker said.
Storm Track 8 meteorologist Marcus Bailey says the timing of this storm could be a major issue.
“The Wednesday evening commute is probably going to be tricky, whether it’s rain or snow, and the Thursday morning commute is going to be tricky for everybody because it’s going to be cold enough everywhere that we will have some leftover snow showers across the state,” Bailey said.
Booker says with the winter weather hitting during two rush hours, this storm isn’t one to brush off.
“It’s really important that people take the time to make sure your vehicles are filled up with gas. Check the air pressure. A lot of people don’t realize that that can create a lot of problems. Make sure you have an emergency kit in your car and stay off the roads if you can,” Booker said.
The emergency management director says his agency is expecting emergency phone lines to be busy. He urges people who get in a fender-bender with no serious injuries to call the non-emergency line if the county has one.
In Indianapolis, the Department of Public Works says it will have 80 snow trucks pretreating roads beginning Wednesday morning.


Quality Improvement Methods
48. Systems Approach
a. Definition: Considering problems and improvements while including the various relevant components affecting the outcome is a systems approach. A system is defined as a set of interacting parts to achieve a common purpose. Certainly, healthcare is a system involving many elements and related factors but ignoring the interrelationships would miss opportunities for improvement. The science developed to manage and improve systems is useful in QI work. Errors in healthcare delivery are often the result of numerous factors and improvements cannot be successful unless the broad elements and relationships are considered.
The so-called systems approach involves problem solving by understanding the components of a system in order to avoid unintended consequences of too narrow a view. Often the system is understood to operate in a cyclic nature rather than a linear one. Important elements include interaction with components outside the system being studied. A systems view of healthcare can be shown as below.4
4 From Ozcan, Yasar A. Quantitative methods in health care management: techniques and applications. Vol. 4. John Wiley & Sons, 2005.
A number of the methods described in this handbook are often cited as so-called systems engineering tools, such as Failure Mode Analysis, Queuing Theory and Discrete Event Simulation.
- Padula, William V., et al. "Integrating systems engineering practice with health-care delivery." Health Systems 3.3 (2014): 159-164.
- Bergeson, Steven C., and John D. Dean. "A systems approach to patient-centered care." Jama 296.23 (2006): 2848-2851.
- Boon, Heather, et al. "Evaluating complex healthcare systems: a critique of four approaches." Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine 4.3 (2007): 279-285.
- Fanjiang, Gary, et al., eds. Building a Better Delivery System:: A New Engineering/Health Care Partnership. National Academies Press, 2005.
When developing a new diagnostic test, a researcher should consider more than the reliability of the test itself. The research could include relationships with various elements such as financial aspects, regulatory constraints, environmental factors, risks, and related therapies. Perhaps all, or nearly all, healthcare research based improvements should consider the larger system of which they are a part.
A good first step is to determine the scope of the system being studied, in other words what is included and what is not included in the system being studied. Still another early step could be to create a model or description of the system components and their interrelationships. The areas that a systems approach might address are so broad that it is difficult to define a single set of steps to be followed. Much of the systems literature focuses on information systems which often follow the sequence of planning the new system, analysis of requirements, do the design, carry out the implementation, and ongoing maintenance.

Each summer, 1,000 high school juniors head to the United States Military Academy for the Summer Leaders Experience, a week-long seminar that gives students a taste of what it’s like to be a West Point cadet. North Penn High School junior Ben Hoffman has been accepted to the program and will be attending the seminar from June 14 through June 20.
Hoffman, 18, has been interested in joining the United States Army for the past few years. His grandfather served in the Army and he has several cousins who have joined the military. He considered joining North Penn’s Junior Air Force Reserve Officers’ Training Corps, he said, but it didn’t fit in with his class schedule. Hoffman first started considering West Point after attending his cousin’s graduation from the United States Naval Academy. ‘I realized all the opportunities and possibilities that would open up,’ he said. ‘It looked really cool.’
The Summer Leaders Experience is not a prerequisite for attending the military academy, he explained, but many aspiring cadets apply for the program. According to the West Point website, the 1,000 attendees are chosen from a pool of about 6,000 applicants.
A typical day of the program starts with physical training at 5:45 a.m., according to the website. Hoffman runs track and cross country and has actually been preparing for the physical tasks that will be required of him during the seminar, he said. For example, he’ll be tested on push-ups, sit-ups and shooting a basketball from a kneeling position. The rest of the day will include academic classes, military training and social events, with lights out at 11 p.m.
One of the classes he’ll take is a leadership and ethics workshop, which he’s really excited about. ‘I’ve always wanted to step up and enhance my leadership skills,’ he said.
Hoffman will have the chance to interact with some of the academy’s current cadets to learn more about what it’s like to be a West Point student. ‘It’s a taste of what it’s like to be on campus,’ he said. He admitted that he’s slightly nervous about the military atmosphere, having ‘never been under that kind of pressure before.’
Right now, West Point is Hoffman’s first choice after high school, though he has also thought about attending a regular college and joining the ROTC program. If he ultimately decides that a military career is not for him, he would consider teaching history or English, he said.
When he returns from West Point next week, Hoffman will have a day to relax before heading to another week-long experience: Keystone Boys State, a civic education program run by the American Legion.

Category: Medical Marijuana in Ohio
Every year, registered medical marijuana patients in Ohio are required to reapply for their medical marijuana card. To renew your medical marijuana card in Ohio, look no further than this page! We’ll go over everything you need to do before your medical marijuana card expires, so you never run out of treatment options and your medical card renewal goes as smoothly as possible.
How Often do I need to Renew my Ohio Medical Marijuana Card?
The State of Ohio, which provides a step-by-step guide to renewing your card, states that patients can begin the renewal 90 days before their medical cannabis card expires. For the first time, patients and caregivers in Ohio will no longer receive email reminders to renew your Ohio medical marijuana cards.
Consequently, patients must keep track of when their marijuana card expires and begin the renewal process at least 90 days in advance. This is imperative.
Is a Visit with my Medical Marijuana Doctor Required to Renew my Medical Card in Ohio?
At this appointment, just as with the initial evaluation before receiving your medical marijuana card, you and the doctor will discuss your qualifying condition and review any records that may be readily available to you. This appointment will also be done remotely via video chat.
Most doctors expect you to use the same records you used for your initial evaluation, unless specifically instructed otherwise. Additional documentation may be required to prove that you still have an active diagnosis if your condition is curable. When renewing your Ohio marijuana card, you’ll usually be able to use your medical records from last year. There is no need for them to be out of date or inaccurate.
How Do I Renew my Status as a Caregiver in Ohio?
The State of Ohio indicates Caregivers within the Medical Marijuana Patient & Caregiver Registry must also renew their status. A patient caregiver can simply renew their medical marijuana registration by going to the State of Ohio Registry, logging in with your provided credentials, and selecting “Renew Card.”

Kidderminster Harriers winger Marvin Johnson could face six weeks on the sidelines with a fractured toe.
Johnson, 22, has featured in all but one of Harriers' Blue Square Bet Premier matches so far this season.
Danny Pilkington (thigh injury) could return to replace Johnson for Saturday's game with leaders Newport.
"Marvin could be missing for up to six weeks but we will know the full extent of it soon," Harriers boss Steve Burr told BBC Hereford & Worcester.
"It's a shame really because he's come into the side and done very well, so to lose him is disappointing."
Harriers go into Saturday's game now within four points of the play-off pack - and just 10 adrift of Newport - on the back of their run of just one defeat in 16 league games.

You will find the menu he created and recipes on this page so you can try cooking these amazing dishes at home. These recipes are for 6 Covers.
Chef Tony Singh Menu for SHG Food and Drink
Charred Tender Stem Broccoli, Neep Remoulade, pickled tomato
Broccoli from the central belt, cooked on a dry skillet, with Borders neep`s bound in a Rapeseed oil Mayonnaise, finished with pickled tomatoes.
Witch Sole with Lime & Ginger
North Sea Witch, pan-fried in butter finished with Lime juice and fresh ginger. A punchy dish served with Ayrshire mash with leeks.
This pudding, I think is so much better than the summer version. It’s a great way of making the most of the Autumnal fruit and berries we have in Scotland. Served with a scoop of the richest Scottish double cream.
Chef Tony Singh Recipe Guide
Charred Tender Stem Broccoli Neep Remoulade, pickled tomato
4 tbsp good mayonnaise see below
3 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 lemon, juice and zest
1 small Neep, peeled and cut into fine strips, like matchsticks
2 sprigs of Tarragon leaves picked from the stalk
For the mayo
3 tbsp aquafaba (water from a can of chickpeas)
20 Chickpeas from above can
2 tsp Dijon mustard
¾ tsp salt
¼ tsp fine white pepper
2 tbsp white wine vinegar
250ml rapeseed oil
Put the Aquafaba, mustard, chickpeas, salt, pepper, vinegar into a tall jug and place it in iced water ( colder the mixture when making the thicker it will be ), and blend using a stick (immersion) blender until thick and smooth.
Then slowly add the oil whilst blending until thick and creamy
Store in an airtight container in the fridge (it will keep for about 2 weeks).
In a large bowl, mix the mayonnaise, mustard and lemon juice and zest together thoroughly with a generous sprinkling of salt and some freshly ground black pepper, so it all becomes one sauce.
Take the thinly cut neeps and stir into the sauce until evenly coated.
Then chop the Tarragon and add it to the remoulade just before you use it
It will keep in the fridge for up to 2 days.
Tender Stem Broccoli
500g Tender Steam Broccoli, trimmed
1 tablespoon Scottish rapeseed oil
Salt to taste
a squeeze of fresh lemon juice
Heat a large pan over medium heat. If you have one use a cast iron frying pan for this, but any pan will work but a heavy-based one is better for heat retention and distribution. Trim the ends off the broccoli, then cut in half lengthwise.
Add the rapeseed oil to the pan. Add broccoli and a pinch of salt. Sauté for about 6 minutes, when they are bright green and just tender-crisp. Turn off heat and squeeze over some fresh lemon juice.
150ml malt vinegar
150ml Sherry vinegar
150g White sugar
5 g sea salt
2 small tubs of assorted Scottish cherry tomatoes
16 garlic cloves, peeled and sliced in half
2 large sprigs of thyme
4 bay leaf
10 g coriander seeds
10 g black peppercorns
5 star anise
- Prick each tomato in on the bottom with a small sharp knife, and place in a non-reactive container so they are snug, but still have room above for the pickling liquor
- In a pan bring all the rest of the ingredients to the boil and leave to simmer on low heat for 10 minutes
- Taste, adjust the sweetness and sharpness and salt if needed, and pour over the tomatoes whilst very hot
- Cover the tomatoes and leave to cool down and place in the fridge for 1 day, they can be kept in the fridge for up to 2 weeks
Place the remoulade in the centre of a plate, with broccoli placed over the top, scatter the pickled tomatoes around and served with crispy toasted bread.
Witch Sole with Lime & Ginger
3 tbsp plain flour
1 tsp chilli powder
6 small Witch sole, scaled, cleaned and trimmed (dark skin removed if you can, otherwise you could slash it in several places with a sharp knife – your fishmonger will do this for you )
1½ tbsp rapeseed oil
salt and freshly ground black pepper
140 g unsalted Scottish butter
50 g chopped fresh root ginger
3 tbsp lime juice
30 g fresh pomegranate seeds
50 g chopped fresh coriander
To prepare the fish, heat the oven to 200°C/400°F/gas 6.
Mix together the flour, chilli powder and some salt and pepper, and dust the fish in it, then shake off any excess. Heat a large, non-stick, ovenproof frying pan over medium-high heat; use two frying pans if the fish are too large to fit in a single pan. (If you have no ovenproof pans, then preheat a lightly oiled baking sheet.) Add the oil and heat it until it hazes. Add the sole (skin-side down if you’ve part-skinned them) and fry, without moving them, for 3–4 minutes until they form a golden crust.
Turn over and transfer the frying pan to the top of the hot oven (or transfer the fish to the warmed baking sheet and place in the oven), and cook for a further 8–10 minutes until cooked through and the flesh is opaque.
For the sauce
melt the butter in a frying pan over medium heat, and let it bubble for 2–3 minutes until it turns a nut-brown colour.
Reduce the heat to low, add the ginger, lime juice, pomegranate seeds and chopped coriander and warm it through; don’t overheat it or it will separate. Season to taste.
Serve the sole with the Tatties and spoon the sauce over the top.
6 King Edward potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
3 leeks, washed and Diced
150g of butter
150ml of full-fat milk
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
To start the dish, add the potatoes to a pot of cold water and bring to the boil. When the potatoes have been boiling for 8 minute`s check them when they are nearly done, add the leeks.
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain the water away and return the potatoes and leeks to the pan. Add the rest of the ingredients to the pan and mash everything together. Serve immediately
400g Scottish pears ( if you can find them ) peeled and cut into quarters
300g Scottish cooking apples, ( if you can find them ) peeled and cut into quarters
1200g fresh Scottish Brambles
200g caster sugar
sunflower oil, for greasing
10 thick slices white bread, crusts removed
Place the fruit, sugar and butter into a saucepan and cook on medium heat until softened.
Remove the pan from the heat and pour the contents into a colander set over a large bowl.
Leave to stand for 8-10 minutes
Pour the fruit juice back into the saucepan, bring to a simmer and reduce the volume by half. Remove the pan from the heat and set it aside to cool.
Lightly oil a 1.5 litre/2 pint pudding basin and line with clingfilm, leaving plenty overhanging the edge. Cut a slice of bread using a round cutter and dip it quickly into the fruit juice. Place in the base of the pudding basin.
Cut the other bread slices in half and dip one at a time into the juice. Arrange in slightly overlapping vertical pieces around the inside of the basin, making sure they are soaked in juice without being soggy.
Once all the sides of the basin are lined with bread, pour half of the remaining fruit juice over the drained fruit and stir very lightly until it looks plump and glossy. Spoon the mixture into the pudding basin.
Dip the remaining slices of bread in the fruit juice and place them over the top of the pudding, trimming the bread where necessary to give a neat finish. Reserve any remaining fruit juice in a small bowl.
Place the pudding onto a dinner plate. Cover the top of the pudding with the cling film, place a plate on top (make sure it fits inside the basin) and weigh down with a couple of tins. Chill in the fridge overnight.
When ready to serve, remove the weights and plate and open the clingfilm. Place a serving plate on top of the pudding and invert. Remove the basin and peel off the cling film. Brush any gaps where white bread is showing with the reserved fruit juice.
Serve with a dollop of whipped cream and any left-over juice.

FCC Hands Out $200 Million More for Rural Broadband
Brings total in subsidies to over $5 billion
The FCC says it has authorized another almost $200 million in rural broadband funding, bringing the total it has handed out since July 2021 in the Rural Digital Opportunity Fund to over $5.2 billion.
The money, which comes from the FCC's Universal Service Program high-cost fund, will go to broadband buildouts in 26 states and the Northern Mariana Islands. It is the ninth round of RDOF funding.
“We need to connect everyone, everywhere, and today’s announcement will open new opportunities to serve communities that need high-speed, reliable broadband service,” said FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel. "With proper oversight, this program can advance our goal of closing the digital divide.”
Also: FCC Opens RDOF Application Window
Rosenworcel created the Rural Broadband Accountability Plan to monitor the program for waste, fraud, abuse, and transparency.
Among the steps the FCC has taken to ensure proper oversight included 1) sending letters to 197 applicants where there appeared already to be service -- ISPs definitely don't want government money being spent on overbuilding existing providers and 2) denying waivers for bidders who "have not made appropriate efforts to secure state approvals or prosecute their applications," denying them what would have been over $350 million in funds. ■

Director(s): Sacha Gervasi
Writer(s): John J. McLaughlin
Reviewed by: Ian Evans on
Release Date(s)Nov 23, 2012 - Wide
Read our profile.
Director Alfred Hitchcock was a master of suspense, but I won’t leave you hanging: Sacha Gervasi’s new biopic Hitchcock wraps some wonderful performances around a light TV movie story.
In the film, the legendary director is confronted by a reporter who asks if he should retire now that he’s in his sixties. Hitch, who’s coming off of North by Northwest, feels he needs to prove himself on the cutting edge again and becomes fascinated with the book Psycho. While others dismiss the story as a trashy horror, Hitchcock (Anthony Hopkins) wonders if his skills can move horror from the B list to the A. When Paramount won’t fund the film, Hitchcock’s agent, Lew Wasserman (Michael Stuhlbarg) works out a plan for the director to finance the picture himself, putting the house that Alfred shares with his wife and artistic collaborator, Alma Reville (Helen Mirren), on the line.
Hitchcock begins casting the film and lands the curvaceous Janet Leigh (Scarlet Johansson) and nervous Anthony Perkins (James D’Arcy) as his leads. He also casts Vera Miles (Jessica Biel), one in his long line of actress obsessions, and an actress who disappointed him by choosing family over being his top star. While the director is obsessed with his leading ladies, poring over their photos, staring at them through the shades or peeping on them through his means in their dressing rooms, he’s also consumed with his belief that his wife is cheating on him, both bodily and as an artistic collaborator, with Strangers on a Train screenwriter Whitfield Cook (Danny Huston). In his business life, he also has to keep studio chief Barney Balaban (Richard Portnow) and censor Geoffrey Shurlock (Kurtwood Smith) at bay to get his film made.
Psycho was a huge film for Hitchcock and focusing more on Hollywood antics and studio politics of that story would have been interesting enough for film buffs. Writer John J. McLaughlin’s script, based on the 1990 book Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho by Stephen Rebello. instead spends a good chunk of its time focusing on the imagine affair between Whitfield and Alma. Alma’s a strong, creative woman who puts up with Hitchcock’s obsessions while always being his right hand in the creative process. The affair sub-plot doesn’t really go anywhere and while their years of collaboration would make a good story in itself, apart from a few scenes, we don’t really delve into that either. So without a deep look at the making of Psycho or the artistic dynamics of Alma and Alfred, we’re pretty much looking at a story that hinges on its performances.
In that regard, Hitchcock doesn’t disappoint. Anthony Hopkins, heavily done up in prosthetic make-up, portrays Hitchcock as a man of big appetites, whether he’s consuming wine, expensive food flown in from Paris, or the actresses that populate his pictures. Hopkins shows us the strong director who is actually a man full of insecurities, foibles and obsessions.
Though the film’s called Hitchcock, it could just have easily been called Alma. Helen Mirren almost walks away with the film. Mirren can say more with a pained silence than many actresses can say with a thousand words. The 67-year-old actress portrays such power and grace (and yes, people still marvel at her body) that she’s the sexiest woman in the film, which is no easy feat when your co-stars are Scarlett and Jessica.
Scarlett Johansson plays Janet Leigh as a strong, confident actress and mother. Though she’s heard about Hitch’s issues with his leading ladies, Leigh cherishes their working relationship and manages to befriend the director while keeping his usual obsessions off the table. Johansson plays Leigh with an easy charm and a core of steel beneath her curvy exterior.
James D’Arcy captures the nervous energy of Anthony Perkins that made the young actor so perfect to play the troubled Norman Bates. The performance is very good and another reason to wish that the film had focused more on Psycho’s production so that D’Arcy would have had more screen time. Though Danny Huston and Jessica Biel aren’t given enough room to really show us much, the real crime has to be the amount of screen time given to Toni Collette, who plays Hitchcock’s strong and efficient assistant, Peggy. If the film had taken the other tack and focused on Alma and Alfred’s working relationship, perhaps Collette’s character would have been given more room to fly.
With such great performances, the only suspense I found in the story was hoping that maybe this next scene or the one after it would finally give them a scene worthy of their roles.

A City councillor has criticised the lack of communication between NI Water and those traders affected by the newly begun works on the Racecourse Road, a charge which has been rejected by NI Water.
Motorists on the Racecourse Road were yesterday met with traffic diversions as the city bound lane was closed to motorists from the Greenhaw Road junction to the Buncrana Road.
While the conclusion of the Buncrana Road works was welcomed, SDLP Councillor Jimmy Carr said: “I work in one of the retail units along the affected stretch of road, which is now closed for ten days for major works. None of the traders knew this work was going to begin this morning and it is seriously affecting trade. There hasn’t been one customer in our shop all morning.”
Roughly ten businesses are directly affected by the temporary traffic arrangements. Colr Carr said: “The manner in which the road works were begun has been difficult for residents, traders and those motorists taking their children to school. There were almost fist fights on this street this morning as motorists vented their frustration.”
Councillor Carr continued: “Business owners from around the area have been calling on me to voice their frustration at the works, which will have a major impact on their ability to trade effectively.
“Recently I called for rate relief for affected businesses and would continue to do so, though we recognise that even that will not adequately compensate for trade lost.”
A spokesperson for NI Water said: “Signs detailing this work have been in place since January and each trader received a personal visit by NI Water’s local contractor. This same contractor also visited all the businesses on the Racecourse Course within the last two weeks advising them that this work was due to start soon.”
The work is expected to last for three weeks, however, NI Water stated: “We endeavour to finish the work before this. Our ultimate aim is to complete a scheme that will serve the community long after the diggers and workmen have gone.”

It took me just two months to watch the whole first season of Dark Angel since I got it for Christmas. I had read about the show and thought it sounded interesting. When I saw it on sale for $18.88 (or something like that) I thought picking it up was a no-brainer. I have written about it before, after I had seen just the first episode. Since then I have been slowly but surely working my way through all 21 first season episodes. Dark Angel is the story of Max (Jessica Alba), a genetically engineered soldier who escapes from her training institution, Manticore, as a child. She was bred to be a soldier and has a bar code on the back of her neck. Since her escape she tries to pass as a normal person. She lives her life as a messenger service delivery person in post-pulse Seattle, the shell of a city after some sort of electromagnetic pulse wipes out much of the technology and culture. It’s like the great depression but set in the not-too-distant future. The city is consistently dirty with the buildings mostly looking like the remnants of a war zone. Corruption is rampant and movement is severely restricted. In her quest to find the other eleven “brothers and sisters” who escaped with Max she takes to a life of crime and is caught in the act by Logan Cale (Michael Weatherly) who, seeing something he likes in this genetically enhanced woman, enlists her to help him in his one-man crusade against corruption. If she helps him, he tells her, he’ll use his considerable connections and computer savvy to help her find her siblings. She agrees and the rest of the season is spent bringing Max closer to her sibs and also closer to Cale.
No one is going to suggest that Jessica Alba was robbed of an Emmy Award for her work in Season One of Dark Angel. The writers aren’t going to get cited either for great dialogue – they sometimes work the futuristic slang a little too much. But overall, the episodes are at least entertaining and at times riveting as Max uses her skills and attitude to single-handedly get herself out of a number of scrapes. Her relationship with Cale has multiple layers and the writers handle them just about right most of the time. The futuristic hip-hop soundtrack is interesting and used to good effect. The supporting characters do a fine job of adding just the right amount of color even though some of them (Kendra, for example) just sort of disappear as the season goes on. As with many series, (Alias leaps to mind) things crank up nicely as the end of the season draws near and the season ends in a way that I found surprising and disturbing. It made me start to think about buying Season Two, which means that, despite my reservations, I enjoyed it enough to spend more money on it.

Girlfriend Badly Injured
Westminster, CO - On February 9th, 2004 police shot and killed a pit bull after they answered a domestic disturbance call in Westminister, a city that lies outside of Denver. The woman had been attacked by her boyfriend and his pit pull. After officers arrested Daniel Brent Smithson Jr., 29, they attempted to subdue the pit bull. Despite their efforts, the animal tried to bite them.
Officers said they used pepper spray and Taser guns in an effort to suppress the dog. The pit bull was then shot by an officer and continued charging, according to police. The dog had to be shot repeatedly in order to stop it. The woman was treated for bite wounds to her face. Police charged Smithson with second-degree assault and unlawful ownership of a dangerous dog. Hopefully, he was convicted.
A separate news article details other pit bull attacks in the area. Eight days before the Smithson incident, five-year-old Michael White was attacked by the family pit bull in Denver while watching TV. He suffered severe facial injuries. Also in February, Constance Simonds, 53, was attacked in Highlands Ranch. Three months earlier, Jennifer Brooke, 40, was killed by her neighbor's pit bulls in the town of Elizabeth, 40 miles away.

The debate over the possible purchase of American multi-purpose supersonic tactical aircraft of the fifth generation F-35A Lightning II has flared up again in Germany. The reason is simple – the F-35A is the only modern and affordable tactical aircraft that is expected to be certified soon to “deliver” tactical nuclear bombs.
The Bundeswehr needs new aircraft that can potentially drop atomic bombs. The new head of department, Christine Lambrecht, is examining how the Air Force’s ageing Tornado fleet should be replaced. An interesting turn of events is now emerging; the US F-35 fighter jet, which was dropped from the selection list three years ago, is back up for debate – and a larger share for Airbus’ Eurofighter.
The then Minister of Defense, Ursula von der Leyen, had decided in January 2019 that proven Eurofighter and the U.S. aircraft F/A-18 in the most modern version Super Hornet Block III should be considered possible successors to the Tornado. In addition, another requirement for a replacement for Electronic Warfare aircraft should be met with the Growler. F-35 was thus expressly off the table. A mix of F/A-18s, Growlers and Eurofighters was considered to replace the Tornado fleet. A decision was not taken.
The new government is mulling whether F-35 aircraft could be an alternative to Tornado’s nuclear role and whether the Eurofighter could also be used for a second task of the Tornado fleet: electronic combat.
Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Italy and Turkey are part of the Alliance’s Nuclear Sharing Tactical Bombs Program. There are an estimated 20 B61 tactical nuclear bombs in each country. The bombs are under the control of the U.S. Air Force, and the U.S. President permits to use of these weapons.
The Germans use Tornado IDS strike aircraft from the German elite 33rd Squadron JaBoG (Jagdbombergeschwader 33) based at Büchel in Rhineland-Palatinate, to deliver nuclear bombs. JaBoG has 46 Tornados at its disposal, but they are nearing the end of the life cycle between 2025 and 2030. Germany will be excluded from the program if no replacement can be found.
Not an easy option
Only the much “hated” (in Germany) F-35A Lightning II can carry nuclear bombs. At the same time, up to 66% of Germans are against the presence of American nuclear bombs in the country.
But as per the German strategy paper of 2016, “As long as nuclear weapons can be used in military conflicts, nuclear deterrence will always be needed. NATO’s strategic nuclear capabilities, and of the United States, in particular, are the ultimate guarantee of member states’ security. NATO remains a nuclear alliance. Through Nuclear Sharing, Germany remains an integral part of NATO’s nuclear policy and planning. At the same time, Germany is committed to laying the foundations of a world without nuclear weapons. NATO has adopted this goal as part of its Strategic Concept for 2010.”
The Political aspect
A significant part of the German political spectrum, especially the German Greens, opposes nuclear weapons. However, in the coalition agreement, the new German government (Greens, SPD and FDP) undertook to remain part of the Nuclear Sharing program and replace the “nuclear” Tornado IDS.
But there is strong opposition to nuclear-sharing in the ranks of the ruling Social Democrats (SPD) and the Greens. Nuclear sharing is only supported by the Free Democratic Party (FDP). So the debate on nuclear weapons in Germany is certainly not over.
The German opponents of nuclear weapons can achieve their goal if they delay the purchase of a successor to the Tornado IDS aircraft.
At the same time, the Luftwaffe (the German Air Force) is de facto violating the Nuclear Sharing Agreement. The survival of today’s Tornado IDS aircraft on the modern battlefield is highly debatable – so the question is whether the Tornado IDS are capable of “delivering” nuclear bombs.
Why did Germany drop F-35A?
Berlin had rejected F-35A aircraft in 2019 and stated that it wanted to buy American F / A-18E / F Super Hornets to carry nuclear bombs. The EA-18G Growler aircraft was to replace the Tornado ECR designed for reconnaissance and electronic warfare.
The plan was to replace the entire fleet of German Tornadoes, as well as the oldest Eurofighters Tranche 1, with a combination of Super Hornet (30), Growler (15) and Eurofighter (90) aircraft. So far, Berlin has fulfilled only one part of the plan by ordering 38 new Tranche 4 Eurofighters as the replacement for all Tranche 1. The replacement of 68 Tornado IDS aircraft (including those in 33rd JaBoG Squadron) and 21 ECR aircraft is not yet addressed.
However, the Super Hornet is not certified to carry nuclear bombs. And it is uncertain whether Americans are interested in enabling this certification which could take up to five years. The F-35’s were already under the process of nuclear certification but not yet certified.
The Germans refused to purchase the F-35A, as no official reason for the refusal was given, mainly for political reasons and under pressure from the German aviation industry. The industry argued that the purchase of the F-35A would jeopardize the European Eurofighter program. The European partner, the French, also believes that the purchase of the F-35A could undermine the program of the Franco-German fighter of the sixth generation FCAS (Future Combat Air System) and hence the ability of Europe to develop its own top supersonic tactical aircraft.
The Germans are not very “excited” about the FCAS program either. As per Reinhard Brand, a member of the opposition Christian Democrats (CDU), the French Dassault is not ready to accept German Airbus as an equal partner. The French want to develop FCAS as per their own rules.
Germany is exploring other options to the F-35A as the German’s do not have access to the source codes. Germany is exploring the ‘European solution’, which includes the nuclear certification of Eurofighters and the development of Eurofighter ECR aircraft. Berlin Airbus has already proposed a new Eurofighter electronic combat role (ECR) concept in 2019.
The German decision is being keenly watched as it affects its relations with the U.S. and France; and Russia and China. The decision will shape the European aviation industry for decades to come. The final decision may not be based on tactical-technical parameters but a sovereign geopolitical reason.

YUBA CITY ? The California dried plum crop has turned out better than expected with excellent quality and fruit size, according to an industry spokesman.
Thanks to a two-year industry price agreement, prices paid to farmers will remain stable at favorable levels in spite of a rebound to normal production from the last two years of crop shortages that drove spot market prices to unheard of levels, according to Greg Thompson of the Prune Bargaining Association.
And despite a number of weather, crop, and harvest time challenges, farmers were able to deliver one of the best quality crops in recent years, Thompson said.
This year’s price was part of a two-year agreement between farmers and prune packers. Terms of the agreement provided for three price levels on the 2006 crop with the final price depending on the size of the crop as determined by the USDA-National Agricultural Statistics Service.
The two-year price agreement was in response to recent crop failures and was put in place to help stabilize prices in the face of severe shortages and sky-high prices.
The industry price standard was negotiated between the PBA and prune packers representing over 70 percent of the independent tonnage.
Crop tonnage is up from earlier estimates even though adverse weather during the bloom and growing season delayed fruit maturity and resulted in the latest harvest season in recent history.
In June, the National Agricultural Statistics Service announced their forecast of dried prune production at 145,000 tons based on a survey of California growers. During harvest, industry members expected the crop to amount to 160,000 to 170,000 tons. A post-harvest estimated by NASS predicts a total crop of 170,000 tons, up from 95,000 tons last year, and only 47,000 tons in 2004.
After two crop disasters in a row, many growers were cautious about the outcome of the 2006 crop and climatic conditions added to their concern.
The weather during bloom in March was cold and rainy. Full bloom didn’t take place until late March or early April. The adverse weather delayed fruit development and raised concerns about fruit set.
A heat wave in June caused visible damage to fruit causing it to fall, and the heat scorched leaves and branches, damaging the trees also.
A prolonged heat wave in July caused less visible damage, but temperatures in excess of 95 degrees are believed to reduce photosynthesis efficiency so growers worried that sugar development in the fruit would be hampered, reducing fruit size and crop production.
In August, growers faced the difficult decision of harvest timing. Fruit pressure remained high while sugar levels were on the low side.

The Chicago Bears (7-8) will close a disappointing season against NFC North rivals the Minnesota Vikings (10-5) on Sunday.
Chicago is looking to end their two-game losing streak as they head into an offseason with a plethora of questions that will dictate the success of this team heading into 2020.
The experts aren’t giving the Bears a chance in this game as 84 percent of experts polled believe the Vikings will beat the Bears, according to NFL Pick Watch.
Minnesota might rest their starters as they prepare for the postseason, which could change things.
Will Mitchell Trubisky close out the season with a solid performance? Will some younger players get some opportunities to play in the season finale? Can the Bears end their season on a high note?
We’ll see Sunday when the Bears and Vikings kick things off at 12:00 p.m. CT on FOX.

Opening Thursday, June 22 at International Print Center, 6 pm to 8 pm. On view through September 16.
This show marks the 56th edition of the International Print Center’s New Prints Program, the result of an open call for fine art prints created in the last 12 months. Curator Katherine Bradford has selected 98 of them from artists all over the world, and they will all be on view in the self-proclaimed “small” gallery space of the IPC on West 26th Street.
While there isn’t necessarily a unifying theme for all the prints, several seem to have a political bent. On the gallery’s website, I observed at least one pussy hat reference and one print involving a woman in an American flag hijab and ripped jeans skateboarding on top of the head of a man with very orange skin. Which isn’t surprising, as nowadays it almost seems like more effort to avoid referencing the current political climate than not. Keep Reading »
It was mermaid time in Coney Island on Saturday, as New Yorkers once again paraded past the Cyclone and Nathan’s in everything from elaborate sea-creature costumes to, well, basically nothing. Despite a rainy start, the 35th annual Mermaid Parade was as merry as ever, with many a parader having cleverly turned their transparent umbrella into a floating jellyfish. Click through our slideshow to see the pageantry that, as the parade’s website puts it, “celebrates ancient mythology and honky-tonk rituals of the seaside.”
Cinephiles have plenty of excuses to spend the summer in city parks, starting with Films On The Green and Movies Under The Stars. But if you’ve sworn off going to the movies in favor of #Netflixandchill, there are plenty of other excuses to enjoy our public greenery, starting with the following free events dedicated to The Artist and The Bard.
Last week we shared the news that the Coney Island Museum is expanding with a new (playable) pinball exhibition. We’ve obtained more details about the pinball gallery, which had its soft opening yesterday.
“We had machines in the bar being played nonstop,” said Dick Zigun, founder of Coney Island USA and “unofficial mayor” of Coney Island.
Not all the machines are installed yet; by this coming weekend everything should officially be in place.
There are going to be 10 pinball machines – six in the Coney Island Museum storefront and another three or four in the Freak Bar in the lobby of the nearby Arts Center.
The Mermaid Parade, Coney Island’s annual crowd-pleaser and glitter-industry Black Friday, is back on solid financial footing — and not a moment too soon — thanks to an unexpected deus ex machina: the intervention of two generous private donations supplementing an ongoing crowdfunding campaign.
Despite the recent news that Debbie Harry and Chris Stein of Blondie fame will raise their scepters as this year’s Queen Mermaid and King Neptune, the Parade had been struggling. A “Feed the Mermaids” crowdfunding campaign to save the parade has so far raised $9,000, far short of its $50,000 goal.
Feltman’s, the 100-year-old hot dog brand that preceded Nathan’s and this summer returned to Coney Island six decades after it closed there, is celebrating its return with a giveaway. On Monday, starting at 11:30am, the first 150 people to line up for the boardwalk shack’s grand opening and ribbon cutting will score free all-natural beef dogs, served on a toasted potato bun. Remember: This dog won the approval of competitive-eating champ Takeru Kobayashi himself, who knows a thing or two about scoring free dogs. Then again, that’s probably not saying much, since he’s presumably pretty burned out on Nathan’s after eating fistfuls of them at a time.
Last weekend Coney Island finally welcomed back the original New York hotdog. No, we’re not talking about Nathan’s– there’s a new famous dog in town: Feltman’s of Coney Island. The Feltman line goes back even further than Nathan’s, if you can believe it.
Expect to see twice as many Warriors costumes this Halloween. On Thursday, Sept. 15, the 1979 cult classic about a street gang’s epic trek from the Bronx to Coney Island is screening in Brighton Beach, a stone’s throw from the Wonder Wheel. Now, I know what you’re thinking: The Warriors again? At this point, the film is pretty much every lazy programmer’s default pick for a rooftop film or midnight movie. (It was, after all, #15 on Entertainment Weekly‘s list of top 50 cult movies.) But if you’re not Warriored out, there’s one big reason to come out and plaaaay: The flick is playing at a posh, historic theater you’ve probably never set foot in, and there’ll be a q&a with cast members. Can you dig it?
Book Launch: In the Darkroom by Susan Faludi
June 22 at 7 p.m. at The Powerhouse Arena. 37 Main Street (DUMBO)
Is identity something you choose, or is it actually the very thing you can’t escape? This is the question Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Susan Faludi poses in her most personal work yet, In the Darkroom. In 2004 Faludi went in search of her estranged 76-year-old father, a man who had been an elusive and sometimes violent presence in her childhood and then all but disappeared from her life. When Faludi discovered he had undergone sex reassignment surgery and was now living in Hungary, her whole frame of reference was shaken to the core. Her book is an effort to unpack her father’s transition and her own questions of identity, while traveling through a country in the midst of its own dangerous project of refashioning its nationhood.
Coney Island was all aglitter Saturday as the 34th annual Mermaid Parade rolled down Surf Avenue and the boardwalk. Amidst the usual semi-naked sirens, less-than-sober pirates and other fishy types (#Netflixandkrill), some paid tribute to the late David Bowie, others honored the victims of last week’s shooting in Orlando, and plenty celebrated Pride early. Click through our photos to have a look at the colorful mix of beauty, activism and buffoonery.
The Brooklyn Film Festival premieres this Friday at Wythe Hotel, with the U.S. premiere of Canadian director Sean Garrity’s Borealis, the award-winning tale of an unemployed gambler who takes his estranged, pot-smoking teenage daughter on a dangerous road trip to Manitoba to show her the Northern Lights. That film screening and Q&A is just one of 107 features and shorts from 31 countries that will show at venues Wythe Hotel, Windmill Studios, Syndicated, Made in New York Media Center by IFP and BRIC House between Friday and June 12.


The City of Santa Clara, also known as the Mission City, is located in the Santa Clara Valley within Santa Clara County, 50 miles south of San Francisco. Santa Clara is one of fifteen cities in Santa Clara County. It is bordered by the cities of San Jose on the north, east, and south, and Sunnyvale and Cupertino on the west.
The City of Santa Clara's One-Year Action Plan (fiscal year 1995-96) is a comprehensive approach to addressing the immediate community needs people who are low and moderate income. The Action Plan is based on a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) entitlement of $1,249,000 and a Home Investment Partnership Program (HOME) entitlement of $392,000. In addition to the fiscal year 1995- 96 entitlement amounts, there is $38,850 in CDBG and $266,336 in HOME funds that should be allocated to capital projects. These additional funds are derived from prior year entitlement, program income and the residual from closed- out projects. Therefore, the total amount of funds allocated for the 1995-96 program year are $1,287,850 in CDBG funds and $658,336 in HOME funds.
CDBG program income for the 1995-96 program year is estimated to total $406,000; approximately $256,000 derived from the sale of the Santa Clara Verein property and an estimated $150,000 in the revolving loan fund established under the City's housing rehabilitation program. No HOME program income is anticipated in fiscal 1995-96.
The Consolidated Plan development process began with a public hearing, held by the City Council on November 15, 1994, to determine community needs relative to low and moderate income people. In addition to the public noticing, written notification of the hearing was made to numerous nonprofit service agencies and the local Citizens Advisory Committee for the purpose of gaining greater input for the development of the Consolidated Plan. The City has also relied heavily on the contents of its current Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS), approved by HUD on February 18, 1994, for relevant information, particularly in the area of affordable housing.
Consultation and coordination of the information of the Consolidated Plan
preparation involved interaction with staff from neighboring CDBG/HOME
entitlement cities and the metropolitan county. The Consolidated Plan 30-day
public review period occurred from April 5 through May 4, 1994. There were no
major problems encountered in the preparation of the Consolidated Plan.
The City encompasses about 19.3 square miles, and has a current population of approximately 97,000. There are 37,000 occupied dwelling units in the City. The current average cost range for rental housing units of one and two bedroom apartments range from $650 to $1,200 per month. The current rental vacancy rate stands at 3.6%. County-wide sales prices of homes averaged $286,500 (median price $228,000) in the first six months of 1994. According to the 1990 Census, the median family income in Santa Clara was $44,707. Yet, according to HUD, the January 1995 median family income was $64,200.
As of 1990, the white, non-Hispanic population made-up a large share (64%)
of the city's total population. Yet, since 1980, the proportion of whites to the
total population has declined by 7%. From 1980 to 1990, the black and the
Hispanic populations have remained relatively constant in terms of their
proportions to the total population. The Asian and Pacific Islander ethnic group
realized the greatest change in terms of both real number and proportion of
total city population. This ethnic group grew by 121%, from a population of
7,745 in 1980 (9% of total population) to 17,112 in 1990 (18% of total
The economy of Santa Clara is built upon a manufacturing and commercial base. Santa Clara is strategically located at the center of the employment growth which has occurred in this valley since the mid-1970's. Businesses in the City have participated fully in the most dynamic economic revolution of the second half of the 20th century. Because of this strong economic base, Santa Clara has, over the past half decade, experienced a high demand for housing, particularly affordable for moderate income families. This need for affordable housing is expected to remain an issue for the city to contend with well into the next century.
The projected need for new housing construction in Santa Clara by 1998 is considered to be 6,287 units. By the year 2000, the estimated need for new housing construction is expected to approach 8,400 units. The projection for new housing needs for the period 1995 through 2000, broken- down by income group are 1,874 units for very low income households, 1,609 units for low income households, and 2,022 units for moderate income households.
Nearly one quarter of total renter households in the city are very low income. Approximately 85% of the total number of very low income renters are paying greater than 30 percent of their income for housing. There is no particular household type that is an exception to this problem. Over 80 percent of the very low income elderly renters pay greater than 30 percent of their income for housing. Likewise, approximately 90 percent of very low income small and large family households are paying greater than 30 percent of their income for housing.
Owner-occupied households are facing only slightly better than renter households when it comes to having housing problems and high cost burdens. Over 14 percent of the city's owner households are very low income. Approximately 35% of the very low income owners realize some housing problems, nearly all paying greater than 30 percent for housing expenses. About a third of the city's low income homeowners are realizing some housing problems, 29 percent paying greater than 30 percent of income for housing expenses.
Of the 37,873 total dwelling units in 1990, 16,684 were single family detached homes. Because little land remains for construction of single family homes, recent in-fill development has resulted in higher density housing. As a result, the number of single family detached homes in the city have decreased from 16,708 in 1980. More significantly, the percentage of dwelling units that were single family detached declined from 49.1 percent in 1980 to 44.1 percent in 1989.
The median housing price for a single family residence in the city was about $150,000 in October 1984; by October 1988 the median price had increased to $228,000. Santa Clara home sales in April 1990 reflect a median sales price of $260,000.
The city's 1994 Rental Vacancy Survey of 28 larger apartment complexes, representing over 5,500 units, indicates a citywide vacancy rate of 3.6 percent. This indicates a decrease from the reported vacancy rates of 4.2 percent for 1993, and 5.8% percent for 1992. Average rents in Santa Clara during October 1994 are $821 for a one bedroom unit, $968 for a two bedroom unit, and $973 for a three bedroom unit.
Nearly 70 percent of Santa Clara's housing units are 30 years old or older. It is estimated that 1,800 housing units, or approximately 5 percent of the 36,545 dwelling units in the city are in need of rehabilitation.
High housing prices make it difficult for families who currently rent to enter the home ownership market. They face a choice of remaining in rental housing in Santa Clara or having both adults commute long distances to work from homes they can afford, thus contributing to a lessening of the quality of life for the family.
Based on a recent (January 1995) county-wide survey of homelessness, it is estimate that there are 7,500 people who experience an episode of homelessness during the year. (At the time the survey was taken, it is estimated that about 1,700 homeless people were without shelter in the county.) The county-wide total climbs to 16,300 when adding-in approximately 9,000 persons who are single head-of-households, receive AFDC and requested homeless assistance last year. Based on the proportion of city population to the county as a whole, the number of homeless people in Santa Clara who experience an episode of homeless in the current year to be approximately 1,027 people. Using the same proportional share formula of the county total, it can be estimated there are approximately 107 unsheltered people in Santa Clara at any one time.
The city employs the services of an independent, public service agency to provide housing counseling services to the community. On a case-by-case basis, the service agency assists clients in rectifying situations of mortgage default delinquency, rent delinquency, displacement and relocation, post-occupancy, home improvement and rehabilitation, and pre-purchase. It is anticipated that services for housing counseling will be provided to at least 12 households during each year the program is funded.
At the current time, the Housing Authority of Santa Clara County is working to develop four housing projects in Santa Clara. These are the first public housing projects to be established in the city. All of the projects are receiving funding assistance from the city's Redevelopment Agency Affordable Housing Fund. Three of the projects, totaling 103 rental units, are new development projects. The fourth project involves the acquisition and rehabilitation of an existing twenty unit apartment complex.
The Housing Authority data indicates there are 602 certificates/vouchers under contract in the city. Of this total, 375 certificates/vouches are issued to elderly people and 227 are used by family households. The current distribution in Santa Clara of certificates/vouchers by unit size is: 51 studio units, 268 one bedroom units, 195 two bedroom units, 78 three bedroom units, 9 four bedroom units, and 1 five bedroom unit. The Housing Authority's current waiting list has 630 households from Santa Clara waiting to receive certificates/vouchers. Of those households, a very large share (94%) are elderly or disabled households. Most of the households (93%) on the waiting list are looking for studio and one bedroom apartments.
State legislation requires that localities zone sufficient sites for residential use, affordable to all economic segments, consistent with the needs identified in the local General Plan and Housing Element. The city has not historically interceded in the private market place to ensure that a proportional number of affordable housing units were created and preserved. Under the city's adopted General Plan, Santa Clara commits to make every effort to comply with this requirement. However, a number of constraints have been identified, some of which cannot be resolved. Constraints beyond the city's control include: change in municipal boundaries, shortage of vacant land, community opposition to residential development at higher densities, development standards and building codes, and constraints on public infrastructure and utilities.
The city aims to provide housing opportunities for all people of the community, regardless of ethnicity, sex martial status, age, or the presence of children. In order to enforce fair housing practices in the community, it is necessary to engage the services of a nonprofit agency to advise the public on their housing rights and to investigate complaints of housing discrimination. The agency also provides training on fair housing laws o owners of rental housing so that the incidence of housing discrimination will be reduced.
Until recently, the public health community did not consider Santa Clara County to be at risk for the presence of lead in paint, the water system, or other common transmitter of lead particles. The Childhood Health Disability Program, operated by the County Health Department undertook a screening test for lead levels in the blood of children between September 1991 and August 1992. There were 3,627 children tested during this period and 233 children (6.5 percent of the children tested) had levels that exceeded federal safety standards for lead poisoning. It should be noted that this was not a random sample; the children tested were patients of the County's Valley Medical Center for reasons unrelated to lead poisoning. The study found that a high percentage of children affected were from families that are thought to have immigrated to this area from out-of- state. The cause of lead poisoning could be any number of suspected reasons that include: azarcon, improperly glazed pottery, imported food cans that are sealed with lead soldier, lead soldier in copper water pipes, and lead based- paint.
Identification of community development needs is based on input provided by various nonprofit service agencies that operate human services programs in the community, the local Citizens Advisory Committee and City Council. Also, the City's General Plan contributed information used in determining community needs. Identifies community development needs include: the need for improvements to public facilities necessary for access and mobility by persons with physical impairments, support for human service programs that offer direct benefit to Santa Clara residents, i.e. crisis intervention and counseling, transportation services, nutrition programs, support services for victims of domestic violence, legal aide, emergency shelter child care services, tenant/landlord dispute resolution, and rental and mortgage assistance.
The City will carry-out its affordable and supportive housing strategy
utilizing the resources of the existing city staff. The City also will continue
to work cooperatively with neighboring jurisdictions to address affordable
housing issues and accomplish the objectives of the Consolidated Plan. This
cooperative approach with other local jurisdictions has been demonstrated both
with past project and with current projects. In addition, the City works closely
with a number of local, nonprofit agencies to achieve its affordable housing
and community development goals. Assuming the continues availability of funding
support that can be channeled to these nonprofit agencies, this reliance is
expected to continue through the effective period of the Consolidated Plan.
The mission statement of the City's Housing Element is a fitting statement on the purpose of the Consolidated Plan Strategic Plan:
"encourage the provision of decent housing within the community for persons of all economic levels, regardless of race, sex color, religion, ancestry, national origin, age, martial or familial status, sexual orientation or mental or physical disabilities."
To help in attaining this goal, the City will direct its attention over the next five years to particular assistance programs in the categories of affordable housing development and homeless and support services. The intention is to provide an array of programs that can meet the particular needs of each income group. It is the intention of Santa Clara's Consolidated Plan to identify the programs that can best address the situation given the City's particular characteristics, its administrative capabilities and its resources.
Financial assistance will be made without the need of altering market conditions of local real estate. A program for first-time homebuyer assistance will stimulate local real estate activity. The program investment would be secured by the equity of the property. Through the use of a mortgage assistance program, the City is expected to assist an estimated ten prospective homebuyers per year to achieve ownership of existing or new housing.
Through the use of available federal and local funding resources, the City is willing to make below market financing available to housing developers in exchange for long-term affordable housing commitments. Land banking is recognized as another method of investing housing funds with the intention of developing affordable housing.
The City will support efforts to expand homeless shelter facilities at appropriate sites, such as the Agnew Developmental Center, to address the local homeless needs should the opportunity be presented. Within its abilities, the City will provide financial subsidies for housing services, in addition to housing acquisition and development.
The City's existing housing rehabilitation programs help to eliminate housing deficiencies, thereby protecting the occupants and improving the quality of residential neighborhoods. Over the course of the next five years, it is expected that approximately 200 homes will receive rehabilitation assistance from the City.
The City aims to provide housing opportunities for all people of the community, regardless of ethnicity, sex, martial status, age, or the presence of children.
The need of public facilities that protect and improve the quality of life for residents of the community plays an essential role of local government. The city realizes there are needs of particular segments of the community population that require special treatment. One such need is the improvements to public facilities necessary for access and mobility by persons with physical impairment. In addition, the City will target federal and local funding resources for projects in low and moderate income geographical areas with the objective of addressing resident needs.
The provision of various human services that are considered essential in sustaining the health and general welfare of the community will be offered to residents on a City-wide basis.
The City is a member of the North Valley Private Industry Council (NOVA PIC), which includes representatives of local business, industry and educational organizations. Formed in 1983, it implements the federal Job Training Partnership Act (JPTA) for six north Santa Clara County cities. Through the JPTA, the NOVA PIC provides services for individuals in our community to obtain the competitive shills necessary to enter the local work force. Both business and local residents benefit from this program. Santa Clara intends to continue participation in this program for the time period covered by this Consolidated Plan.
Santa Clara is an entitlement city under the CDBG program and a Participating Jurisdiction under the HOME program. These two programs constitute the federal financial resources available to address the City's stated housing and community development objectives. In addition to these federal resources, the City relies on the Redevelopment Agency Affordable Housing Fund to address its affordable housing objectives.
Primary responsibility for administering the local affordable housing
programs rests with the Community Services Division of the City Planning
Department. Affordable housing activities handled by the Community Services
Division will, at time interrelate with the Affordable Housing Programs funded
by the City's Redevelopment Agency. The City will continue to work cooperatively
with neighboring jurisdictions to address affordable housing issues and
accomplish the objectives of the Consolidated Plan. Additionally, the City works
closely with a number of local, nonprofit agencies to achieve its affordable
housing and community development goals. Typically, the City relies on a number
of nonprofit agencies to assist the community in both service programs and
capital projects. Assuming the continued availability of funding support that
can be channeled to these nonprofit agencies, this reliance is expected to
continue through the effective period of this Consolidated Plan.
Additionally, the project will assure that all elevator fixtures conform with ADA standards. Located at 890 Main St, Santa Clara, this project will assist 100 units of senior affordable housing.

Former Vice President Joe Biden has been given the questions to the first presidential debate in advance, noted author Jerome Corsi announced during an interview on radio station KXEL, a prominent national radio station and is affiliated with Fox News Radio.
“Word on the street is that @JoeBiden got tonight’s debate questions in advance” tweeted Starnes, citing radio station KXEL 1540.
“Joe Biden has been given the questions from Fox’s Chris Wallace,” he told host Jeff Stein. “He’s being prepared on the exact questions he’s being asked.”
If true, this wouldn’t be the first instance of questions being provided to a Democratic candidate before a crucial debate.
In 2017, Democratic operative Donna Brazile admitted that she had exploited her role as a CNN commentator to feed debate questions to Hillary Clinton beforehand.
“[I]n October, a subsequent release of emails revealed that among the many things I did in my role as a Democratic operative and [Democratic National Committee] Vice Chair prior to assuming the interim D.N.C. Chair position was to share potential town hall topics with the Clinton campaign,” said Brazile.
Biden campaign appears to be trying to eek out every advantage it can get, perhaps in the fear that the former VP is not up to a 90 minute performance.
Fox News reported that Biden’s team requested a break after every 30 minutes of the debate but that the proposal was rejected by the Trump campaign.
Team Trump also asked that earpieces be checked to ensure that Biden was not being fed lines by his staffers.

“The food here helps greatly. Food is expensive nowadays,” he said. “If it wasn’t for Food Bank of the Rockies, I can’t say what would actually happen — probably missing meals.

A new style of concealed carry gun that folds up into the size of a smartphone could be on sale later this year.
The double barreled .380 derringer, made by a Minnesota startup called Ideal Conceal, folds into a palm-sized square that can be easily concealed in a pocket. Its slim design is meant to provide a versatile concealed carry option for all types of people who want a lightweight, easy-to-carry option for their CCW.
“From soccer moms to professionals of every type, this gun allows you the option of not being a victim,” the Ideal Conceal website states. The company’s design is geared toward today’s increased demand for concealed carry weapons that are easy to carry and conceal.
Although the Ideal Conceal pistol is not the first folding pistol to be introduced, it may be the first that is designed so that it does not look like a gun when it is folded.
“Ingeniously designed to resemble a smartphone, yet with one click of the safety it opens and is ready to fire,” the company’s website says. “Smartphones are everywhere, so your new pistol will easily blend in with today’s environment. In its locked position it will be virtually undetectable because it hides in plain sight.”
According to a recent Fox News article, Senator Charles Schumer (D- N.Y.) has called for an investigation into the gun and possible legal violations. He spoke out in the past against similar products, calling them a threat to law enforcement and children who may not be able to tell the item is a firearm.
A recent article on CNN Money states that gun owners would most likely still be required to have a concealed carry permit to carry the Ideal Conceal folding gun and that it can’t be fired when it’s in a folded position.
While there’s nothing wrong with new innovations in the firearms industry, it’s important to remember that you should test and do your research before carrying anything. The mini derringer style pistol has been around for a long time, but there’s something to be said for a concealed handgun that can do more than just look good.
This type of firearm increases that danger that it will be misused while showing it off and only makes it easier for untrained people to conceal a firearm in public places.
Learn about the types of firearms that are trusted and reliable and how to use them. Stay up to date and trained in firearms law and only use guns that you are familiar with and trust.
