M11 crash update: Agencies “working hard” to get lanes reopened
ALL agencies involved in the clean-up operations of the M11 crash near Newport today (Monday April 6) are “working hard” to get the carriageways reopened.
Both the northbound and southbound lanes remain closed following the multi-vehicle collision - involving three HGVs, four cars and a coach - shortly before 10am.
Five people have been taken to Addenbrooke’s Hospital. They were a man and a woman who were trapped on the coach and received serious leg injuries and three people in separate cars who have minor neck and back injuries.
The northbound carriageway of the M11 was fully closed while road collision investigators and commercial vehicle specialists from Essex Police carried out an initial investigation. It is hoped that some lanes will re-open within the next two hours depending on necessary repairs.
The southbound carriageway has also been fully closed but it is hoped some lanes will be re-opened soon.
You may also want to watch:
Chief Insp Scott Egerton said: “All agencies are working hard to have the carriageways open as quickly as possible but some lanes may remain closed for repairs to the road surface and the central reservation barrier.
“There are still lengthy delays in both directions and we would urge drivers to seek alternative routes, especially through the evening rush hour.”

A scientist from Bristol now living in New York has described the scene of dozens of trees uprooted in her neighbourhood, which survived the worst of the damage caused by ”super-storm” Sandy that triggered devastating floods and cut power to millions of people on the US east coast.
Hannah Williams, 30, who moved to New York from Clifton in 2009 to work at the Institute for Cancer Genetics, lives on the Upper Westside in a sixth-floor apartment looking onto a sheltered courtyard. ”So we are high and dry so to speak,” Hannah wrote in an email.
“The worst threat to us is the empty food markets following panic buying and the fact that there is no way to get to work at the moment because the subway is suspended with no clear idea when it will be open again.
“Sadly, as with Hurricane Irene, the focus has been a lot on NYC but some of the smaller towns and villages out in the suburbs and countryside are likely to be much worse affected and suffer for much longer.”
After venturing out of her apartment once the storm had passed, Hannah said that “there is a strange atmosphere outside. Lots of people out strolling around checking out the damage. It feels like a holiday since no one can get to work.
“Nothing quite like the devastation downtown but still glad I wasn’t out and about yesterday night!”

What is Misophonia? Simply put, misophonia is a hatred of sound.
After the definition nothing is simple.
Diagnosis or Symptom?
Just why is dealing with it so perplexing?
Misophonia is largely diagnosed based on a behavioral subjective symptom, the angry outburst. Diagnoses are based on quantifiable (physiological) objective measures called signs. A quantifiable measure would be a marker in a bodily function. Some examples include a brain scan marker, a sonogram measure, a blood marker, a genetic marker, or an objective measure on an auditory test.
For misophonia, such a marker would need to be one that all those with misophonia have, which is unique to misophonia and not due to another condition. Since this term is fairly new, the research is rather sparce and no such marker(s) have been identified yet.
This means that currently the label “misophonia” reflects a behavior, and not a diagnostically viable measure. For that reason there is no diagnostic code in the DSM 5 for misophonia. Although there is discussion as to whether it should be under mental health or auditory category.
No Diagnosis! Now What?!?
This is an unbearable situation.
The person who is getting angry from the triggering sound(s) is suffering.
The people around him are suffering from his angry outbursts.
But without a treatable diagnosis, relief is limited.
It is challenging to classify, or create a test for, something that has such a varied presentation.
For example, at the time of this writing we are dealing with the challenge of an onslaught of viruses. On a personal level I want to know exactly which virus I have so that I can get relief from my suffering.
Do I have the flu?
If so I would like a script to tamiflu.
Do I have strep?
Then I want a script for antibiotics.
Do I have Corona? If so, is it the Delta or Omicron variant? As different treatments are best suited for the different variants.
What I don’t want to hear from my doctor is, “you have a virus”. That isn’t helpful.
The Difficulty in the Differentiation
Dealing with misophonia may leave you feeling like you are at a salad bar, make your own mix of whatever you’d like and we will call all the different results “salad”.
Which of these best describe your misophonia experience?
– A laundry list of different sounds that trigger /only a couple of trigger sounds
– The sound is triggering from only one particular family member / any family member / anyone
– Rhythmic sounds / a mix of rhythmic and non-rhythmic / only non-rhythmic sounds
– Triggered by loud sounds / exceedingly soft sounds such as whispers / a mix of volumes
And so it goes with no discernible pattern.
“Misophonia” is used to refer to any of these, despite their dissimilarities, because of the behavioral reaction to the sound.
This is as helpful as saying you have a virus.
So What Can Be Done: Treatment Considerations
So, is misophonia simply a behavior?
Then behavior modification would easily treat this.
Or perhaps it is psychosomatic?
Dr. Sarno discovered that much of back pain was due to an underlying unresolved emotional conflict. Perhaps, similarly, we need to think of misophonia as an auditory manifestation of emotional conflict and treat using the Sarno method?
Perhaps misophonia is related to a nutritional deficiency?
B vitamin deficiencies contribute to anxiety. This can be due to insufficient ingestion or malabsorption of what is ingested.
Perhaps misophonia is an auditory issue?
A poorly functioning acoustic reflex would ineffectively dampen loud sounds.
The acoustic reflex test is an objective measurable sign of an auditory function.
This would result in loud sounds actually being louder for such people than they are for people whose reflex is functioning properly.
Perhaps misophonia is related to hyper-arousal?
This could be due to a retained moro reflex or a trauma response.
Or it may be a mix of the above.
Different people having different contributing factors would explain the wide spread of differing presentations we are seeing.
At Hearing Kids we specialize in differential diagnosis.
Misophonia is no exception.
By identifying which underlying cause(s) are contributing to your misophonia we can provide targeted treatment that work.
Knowing what you are dealing with brings relief because it directs you in how to best deal with it.

14 Oct 2019
Facebook Inc’s ambitious efforts to establish a global digital currency called Libra suffered severe setbacks on Friday, as major payment companies including Mastercard and Visa Inc quit the group behind the project.
The two companies announced they would leave the association Friday afternoon, as did EBay Inc, Stripe Inc. and Latin American payments company Mercado Pago. They join PayPal Holdings Inc which exited the group a week ago, as global regulators continue to air concerns about the project.
The latest exodus leaves the Libra Association without any remaining major payments companies as members, meaning it can no longer count on a global player to help consumers turn their currency into Libra and facilitate transactions.
The remaining association members, including Lyft and Vodafone, consist mainly of venture capital, telecommunications, blockchain and technology companies, as well as nonprofit groups.
“Visa has decided not to join the Libra Association at this time,” the company said in a statement. “We will continue to evaluate and our ultimate decision will be determined by a number of factors, including the Association’s ability to fully satisfy all requisite regulatory expectations.”
Facebook’s head of the project, former PayPal executive David Marcus, cautioned on Twitter against “reading the fate of Libra into this update,” although he acknowledged “it’s not great news in the short term.”
Libra will press ahead with plans to formally charter the association in three days despite the setbacks, Dante Disparte, its head of policy and communication, said in a statement.
“We are focused on moving forward and continuing to build a strong association of some of the world’s leading enterprises, social impact organizations and other stakeholders,” he said.
“Although the makeup of the Association members may grow and change over time, the design principle of Libra’s governance and technology, along with the open nature of this project ensures the Libra payment network will remain resilient.”
Facebook announced plans to launch the digital currency in June 2020 in partnership with other Libra Association members. Almost immediately afterwards, the project faced relentless scrutiny from global regulators, who said it raised a host of serious questions that the group had yet to answer.

Literary NevadaWritings from the Silver State$29.95Editor: Cheryll GlotfeltyFormat: Paper
Published Date: 2008
Over 200 writings about Nevada with selections from Native American tales to contemporary writings on urban experience and environmental concerns. The state of Nevada embodies paradox and contradiction—home to one of the fastest-growing cities in the nation and to isolated ranches scattered across a sparsely populated backcountry. Nevada is a place where the lust for sudden wealth has prompted both wild mining booms and glittering casinos, and where forbidding atomic test sites coexist with alluring tourist meccas. The variety and distinctiveness of Nevada’s landscape and peoples have inspired writers from the beginning of immigrant contact with the region. This contact has produced abundant literary wealth that includes the rich oral traditions of Native American peoples and an amazing spectrum of contemporary voices. Literary Nevada is the first comprehensive literary anthology of Nevada. It contains over 200 selections ranging from traditional Native American tales, explorers’ and emigrants’ accounts, and writing from the Comstock Lode and other mining boomtowns, as well as compelling fiction, poetry, and essays from throughout the state’s history. There is work by well-known Nevada writers such as Sarah Winnemucca, Mark Twain, and Robert Laxalt, by established and emerging writers from all parts of the state, and by some nonresident authors whose work illuminates important facets of the Nevada experience. The book includes cowboy poetry, travel writing, accounts of nuclear Nevada, narratives about rural life and urban life in Las Vegas and Reno, poetry and fiction from the state’s best contemporary writers, and accounts of the special beauty of wild Nevada’s mountains and deserts. Editor Cheryll Glotfelty provides insightful introductions to each section and author. The book also includes a photo gallery of selected Nevada writers and a generous list of suggested further readings. Nevada has inspired an exceptionally rich panorama of fine writing and a dazzling array of literary voices. The selections in Literary Nevada will engage and delight readers while revealing the complex and exciting diversity of the state’s history, people, and life.
Cheryll Glotfelty is professor of English and director of graduate studies at the University of Nevada, Reno, where she teaches courses on literature and the environment. She was a CASE-Carnegie Professor of the Year for Nevada, and she earned her Ph.D in English from Cornell University. Glotfelty has published many essays on western writers, ecocology, and Nevada literature.
"In the best sense of the word, this hefty book is a sampler of what literary fare the state offers. It is obvious that this sampler is also an advertisementfor a feast." -- Western American LiteratureWestern American Literature
"Literary Nevada is a very fine anthology. It will be of interest to the scholar, the general reader, students in high school and college classrooms, and to tourists. It is beyond me how anyone could read this volume and not head out, forthwith, on Nevada's loneliest of roads." — ISLEISLE

Osaka: Shi Yuqi, Loh Kean Yew, and Pearly Tan/Thinaah Muralitharan began their quests for the 2022 Japan Open in style as they managed to advance into the second round.
Playing his second competitive tournament since being banned by the Chinese Badminton Association last October, the World No. 22 Shi was made to work by the World No. 20 Hans-Kristian Solberg Vittinghus of Denmark before beating the 36-year-old Dane 23-21, 18-21, 21-14 in the first round.
Shi will play Brice Leverdez of France in the second round.
Singaporean shuttler, Loh Kean Yew who is now ranked World No. 7, was playing with exceptional speed and net shots to beat last week’s World Championships bronze medalist Zhao Jun Peng of China 21-15, 21-9. Loh will next meet H.S Prannoy of India.
In women’s doubles, Malaysia’s World No. 11 women’s doubles pair – Pearly Tan/Thinaah Muralitharan came back from dropping the first game to shock World No. 2 Lee So Hee/Shin Seung Chan of Korea 16-21, 21-14, 21-18 in 61 minutes. The Malaysian pair will meet another Korean pair – Baek Ha Na/Lee Yu Lim on Thursday.
Besides Tan/Muralitharan, Vivian Hoo/Lim Chiew Sien of Malaysia also entered into the women’s doubles second round by outlasting Linda Efler/Isabel Lohau of Germany 21-17, 23-21. Hoo/Lim will battle the winners between Chen Qing Chen/Jia Yi Fan and Yeung Nga Ting/Yeung Pui Lam next.
Meanwhile, Malaysia has two mixed doubles pairs made the second round. Hoo Pang Ron/Toh Ee Wei will play Robin Tabeling/Selena Piek of the Netherlands while Goh Soon Huat/Shevon Jemie Lai are most likely to face Yuta Watanabe/Arisa Higashino of Japan in the last 16.


Governor Andrew Cuomo announced Monday (July 13th) that travelers to New York from states that have high coronavirus infection levels will have to fill out a form providing their contact information before they leave the airport or face a $2,000 fine. Cuomo said, "You must give officials at the airport your form as to where you came from and where you are going before you leave the airport." Travelers arriving from high-infection states by other ways, such as by car or train, must fill out the form online. The move came after Cuomo, along with the governors of neighboring New Jersey and Connecticut, had already imposed two-week quarantine requirements on travelers from high-infection states. There are currently 19 states this applies to: Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Idaho, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Nevada, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Utah. New York, once the epicenter of the outbreak, managed to reduce and keep its infection numbers low, and Cuomo wants to prevent a new surge from people traveling from high-infection states.


The scene has been hit by the sharp sounds of a new five piece: The Clips. The debut album Matterhorn is made of raw, electric energy mingling among melodies. Lyrically, the album is freeform, created strictly from what their imagination provides and left for listeners to fathom the results. The music is also dynamic and unpredictable. ‘Missing the Plan,’ has a dramatic lead in giving way to a sudden change, sweeping you back into the main theme. It’s songs chart a diverse territory, never overlapping. Some are developed by the interplay of instruments, and others are captured by the vocals, with two songs, ’Kassel,’ and, ‘Eyesuck,’ having both these components. Interesting as it is, Matterhorn is also a great party album. Space Kidz,’ could galvanize possibly anyone on the dance floor. The Clips have already made a name on Vancouver’s music scene, opening for Tilly and the Wall this past July. It will be interesting to see if they can continue to justify their rising reputation.

Land Manager: Cumberland Trail State Parks, Laurel-Snow State Natural Area
Area Rep: position open
Buzzard Point is located in Laurel/Snow Pocket Wilderness, on a huge point dividing the gorge. This Buttress has good sun most of the day.
A lot of the routes were started probably in 1977 with the likes of Rob Robinson and Bruce Rodgers. Then around the early 80’s some other southern climbers came on the scene like James Dobbs,Ron Davis,Charles Kable, Shannon Stegg, Chris Chesnutt, along with Jeff Gruenberg and his hard line “Pieta” which might of very well been the first 5.14 in the southern realm. Later Rob Robinson and Glenn Ritter put more lines into play.
Some of these routes are on the Point.
What to Expect
Rock quality is good. Has been awhile since some of the anchors have been replaced due to the access problems in in the past.
Nice fall/winter sport crag. And some spicy trad. A lot of these routes are done with old school style in mind.
- Please follow all rules and regulations of the Laurel Snow Pocket Wilderness

Florida Gators vs. Arkansas Razorbacks Complete Game Preview
The last time Florida and Arkansas shared a scoreboard, Tim Tebow was on a football field. So was Aaron Hernandez.
Saturday, the Gators will host the Razorbacks for their first game against each other since 2009. It was UF's homecoming matchup, decided by Caleb Sturgis' field goal in the final seconds, which lifted Florida to a 23-20 victory.
Four years later, Florida won't be entering the Arkansas game as the best squad in the country.
Currently, No. 19 Florida (3-1, 2-0 SEC) is fresh off a Week 5 victory at Kentucky. While the Gators aren't the top team in the nation, they do lead the NCAA in rushing defense (53.5) and third-down defense (.178).
Arkansas (3-2, 0-1 SEC) is coming down to Florida after a loss at No. 10 Texas A&M last weekend. The Razorbacks are tied for the toughest schedule in the SEC, tackling Florida, LSU and Alabama all on the road this season.
When: Saturday, Oct. 5; 7 p.m. ET
Where: Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, Gainesville, Fla.
Radio: Sirius 94, XM 200
Spread: Florida (-10.5); Via TeamRankings.com
Florida Gators' Keys to Victory
Slow Arkansas' Pass Rush
The Razorbacks rank among the nation's elite when it comes to pass-rushers. Some highlights: Senior DE Chris Smith is first in the conference and third in the country with his six sacks, while fellow defensive end Trey Flowers is first in the SEC with two forced fumbles.
Well, we’ll have different protections and whether it’s a six or seven man protection, utilizing our tight ends and our backs to chip on [Chris] Smith and [Trey] Flowers. They’re really good rushers, they have two big guys inside that do a really good job of pushing the pocket; but there’s no question we need to account for them on the edges, and that will be something we address as the week goes on.
Establish Consistency on Special Teams
The last time Florida and Arkansas squared off, the win was decided by Florida's field goal. This year, the Razorbacks hold an advantage with kicker Zach Hocker, who is ranked first in the country with his perfect field-goal percentage. Against Texas A&M, he registered touchbacks on four of his six kickoffs.
While this game isn't likely to come down to a field goal again, the Arkansas game is a healthy reminder of the difference special teams can make. Looking at the Gators, Muschamp said he was pleased with redshirt freshman kicker Austin Hardin's play at Kentucky. Four out of his five kicks resulted in touchbacks.
Arkansas Razorbacks' Keys to Victory
All around, Arkansas flexes major skills in its rushing. Looking at the Razorbacks' stats, it's impossible to ignore. So far, Arkansas has seven 100-yard rushing performances on the season. Seven.
The guy who embodies this team's rushing domination best is freshman running back Alex Collins. He's averaging 119.4 yards a game as Arkansas' top rusher with a total of 597 yards. This is more than double that of Florida's top-rusher total (272, Matt Jones).
It's no secret the Gators struggle when it comes to committing penalties. The Razorbacks? Not so much. In fact, against Johnny Football and Co., Arkansas was only flagged once, for five yards.
Florida has become infamous for being its own worst enemy when it comes to penalties, and Arkansas needs to continue to rely on its self control to gain the upper hand in this area of the game come Saturday.
Florida Players to Watch
Vernon Hargreaves III (DB, Fr.)
The reigning SEC Freshman of the Week is quickly morphing into one of the most exciting UF players to watch between the lines. The defensive back is Florida's top interceptor, with three on the year.
Against Kentucky, the freshman made a huge interception to rob the Wildcats of a touchdown. Vernon Hargreaves III is a guy to keep an eye on not only because of his raw talent and increasing role for the Gators, but due to the show he puts on in game time.
Damien Jacobs (DT, Sr.)
Dominique Easley's roommate threw the first punch at Arkansas this week. The senior defensive tackle essentially called out center Travis Swanson for his "dirty play" when the clock stops. Damien Jacobs discussed the Gators' need to keep it cool by not reacting to it. It'll be interesting to see if Jacobs can practice what he preaches when the lights come on.
Arkansas Players to Watch
Travis Swanson (C, Sr.)
Because of Damien Jacobs' description of Travis Swanson, no doubt he'll be the center of attention (no pun intended) in The Swamp Saturday.
While Swanson can talk the talk, he can walk the walk, too. The team captain has 43 straight starts, and his preseason honors comprise a long list including the Coaches All-SEC First Team and the watch list for the Rimington Trophy, which is awarded to the best center in college football. Keep tabs on Swanson to see what after-play action he dishes out Saturday.
Chris Smith (DE, Sr.)
As part of the duo UF coach Will Muschamp warned of in the pass-rush threat, Chris Smith is a key Razorbacks player to watch. In addition to his No. 1 SEC rank with his six sacks, Smith is second in the nation with his 51 sack yards.
Muschamp described him as "a guy that has a really good initial quickness in first step" (GatorZone.com). Gators QB Tyler Murphy is next up on Smith's victim list.
What They're Saying
Florida head coach Will Muschamp during Monday's press conference (via GatorZone.com):
They’re a very physical football team. I don’t think defensively that we have seen a team like this...It’s going to be a great night in the Swamp. Seven o’clock kickoff. We’re looking forward to it. Our players, getting back last time we were in our stadium against Tennessee, was an unbelievable environment and that’s what we are certainly going to expect again.
Gators defensive tackle Damien Jacobs during media Tuesday (via GatorVision):
They're (offense) is real physical. I think they're a little chippy. They're a little dirty. So we're going to have to be ready for it all this week. I just see from film, a lot of stuff after the play. Especially No. 64 (Travis Swanson). He'll get after you after the play. We're going to have to try to keep our temper and keep cool.
It's a big week this week. It's the second week in the SEC and we play Florida at their home turf. We haven't beat Florida in SEC play, so it's an opportunity to do something that's never been done here. It's exciting for our guys and I think they got some mojo out of last week.
Razorbacks assistant head coach Charlie Partridge during media Sunday (via ArkansasRazorbacks.com):
I'm very excited. "Obviously, for recruiting, it's great to get exposure in that state. We don't even have to say anything. My brother graduated from there. He's going to be at the game. It's a very exciting, personal game for me.
Florida's first night game on home turf will undoubtedly provide one of the most electric arenas in college football on Saturday. The game certainly won't be a nail-biter like the 2009 contest, but it'll have the same result: a UF win.
Arkansas head coach Bret Bielema described it best in his press conference Monday when he said,"I told our guys after the (Texas A&M) game, 'We're not there yet, but this climb to the top of the mountain has been a lot of fun. When we get to the top, it's going to be really fun to know what you did'" (via ArkansasRazorbacks.com).

Was it just two years ago that thousands of San Francisco Giants fans up and down California got a chance to see something they never saw up close before: a World Series trophy?
Well, we're getting another chance, like this fan:
The 2013 World Series Trophy Tour started in Sacramento this past January 8th, Unlike two years ago, it made only one stop at Sacramento City Hall. Last time, the team had two showings: the State Capitol in the morning and City Hall in the afternoon.
The tour started here:
The line started forming well before noon.
Most wore Giants memorabilia, including jerseys of their favorite players...
This woman wore a big Giants blanket, as if she was prepared for a home game back in the Candlestick days...
In fact the line literally went around the block when the doors opened at around 2:30. Thanks to my ability to wait, developed when I waited HOURS to get an autograph of Quentin Tarantino at Comic-Con, it wasn't that bad.
Even Mayor Kevin Johnson was there to welcome the fans who waited for this chance.
This time, I was not allowed to get a personal photo of myself with the trophies. I can order one through the team's website, like I did when I was at the Browncoats Cruise a few years back. So, here's a blast from my past in 2010...
Notice back then, I had a piece of the 1989 World Series, plus the ticket stub to the last Candlestick game. This time, I wore an San Jose Giants jacket plus a World Series cap.

A Ford Ranger plunged from an overpass and crashed onto a frozen holding pond beside Interstate 35E in Little Canada early Tuesday morning — one of many vehicles during the morning rush hour that likely hit a patch of near-invisible black ice before careening off the road.
The truck was northbound on I-35E along the overpass to westbound Interstate 694 when it lost control and fell onto the frozen pond shortly after 7 a.m., according to the Minnesota State Patrol.
Emergency crews worked for nearly an hour to cut open the vehicle and remove the driver, a 54-year-old woman from Maplewood.
She suffered injuries that were not life-threatening and was sent to Regions Hospital in St. Paul, the patrol said.
Nearly 150 crashes and nearly 40 instances of vehicles running off the road dotted metro highways during rush hour, according to State Patrol Lt. Eric Roeske.
At least six rollovers crippled major arteries at various times, according to the Minnesota Department of Transportation. There were no reports of serious injuries or fatalities.
The black ice — frozen exhaust that’s very difficult to see — was the likely culprit in many of the incidents, authorities said.
Tuesday’s high temperature isn’t expected to escape 1 degree, and with wind chills approaching the 20-degree-below-zero range, the evening commute will likely be just as hazardous.

There’s a New Prescription Provider for the State Employee Health Benefit
The state quietly underwent a major transition this month with the switch to Express Scripts as the pharmacy provider for the Executive and Judicial Branch employees’ and retirees’ Health Benefit plan. As with any major transition, there have been some hiccups, of course. For those members who have been having problems, the SEA’s benefits specialist Chris Porter is and has been available to help.
We’ve seen a few problems crop up repeatedly, but before we get into that, it might be helpful to explain how we ended up with the new provider. Last year, the state put the pharmacy benefit provider contract out to bid, and Express Scripts scored the highest (CVS/Caremark, the previous provider was the runner-up). While the pharmacy benefit is collectively bargained, the state has autonomy in deciding who provides the benefit. With the Department of Administrative Services’ recommendation, the Executive Council approved the contract in September. Express Scripts took over on Jan. 1.
The state provided a checklist late last year to help beneficiaries prepare for the transition to the new provider, and promised welcome letters and cards would be sent out. Porter said the welcome letters and other materials were mailed out a bit later than we’d been told.
“Letters telling some that their prescriptions are non-preferred have just gone out in the last week,” Porter said. “Things that should probably have gone out in December are arriving now, so we’re seeing a handful of issues just come to light.”
Porter noted a problem he’s seen is that some drugs that CVS/Caremark covered are deemed non-preferred by Express Scripts. This means you could end up paying more or perhaps not even be able to get a prescription you had been using. One prescription, Porter noted, was priced as a generic under CVS/Caremark ($1 for a 90-day supply) but is priced at the highest rate under Express Scripts ($70 for a 90-day supply). Porter also noted that because Express Scripts’ exclusions of non-preferred prescriptions are different, some are seeing their options dwindle.
“Express Scripts offers substitutes, but in some cases that means going from five choices to just one,” Porter said. “Unless you just happen to have been prescribed with that one, you’re faced with having to make a change.”
In investigating that problem, Porter did find out, though, that Express Scripts will allow exceptions with a doctor’s approval. You could probably have found that bit out yourself, but it illustrates an important benefit to members: as the SEA’s benefits specialist, Chris Porter is here to help navigate the often confusing, frustrating world of health benefits. Even if the answer isn’t always what you want it to be, it helps to have someone with expertise in your corner.
If you have any health or prescription benefit related questions, you can call Chris at 271-3411, ext. 134 or email him at email@example.com.

JONES: "A TERRIBLE WAY TO END THE DAY"
After 30 laps around Surfers Paradise, Andy Jones felt Team BOC had the podium in its sights today but the team left empty-handed after being taken out under safety car.
Jones was just one lap away from handing over to Jason Richards when the safety car was called. The team instructed him to slow down and, thinking the safety car was round the next turn, Jones slowed accordingly.
Two cars on his tail did not see and Jones ended in the pit wall. The next round of the V8 Supercar Championship is Tasmania on November 13/14.
"When the safety car came out the team told Jonesy to slow down but the problem with a street race under safety car is that everyone's still racing to catch the train.
"I looked up and saw it happen right in front of me; it was a monster. Andy was coming in that lap after an excellent stint but instead he never made it around.
"As a team, it's been a terrible day. If I focus on the positives, in qualifying we had both cars in the top ten and both cars had virtually identical pace, which was excellent. They weren't P1 cars but certainly the second row should have been quite achievable, which is a turnaround for us."
Team BOC Co-Driver
"I got a really good start, the opening lap was really good and I felt I pulled a demon move on Dario Franchitti down the back straight. From there I got past Villeneuve, also good fun, and pitted early, which put us in a pretty good position for a podium.
"By the time that last safety car came out we were about ready to make the driver change; unfortunately we didn't get that opportunity. I was told to slow down because the safety car was out. I assumed the train was a bit up the road so I slowed quite a bit. There were obviously still people out there racing..
"It was a terrible way to end the day because our car had genuine pace. I think we could have been on the podium."
Team BOC Co-Owner
"It's been a terrible day. I was expecting big things for the team . We need to regroup for Tasmania in a couple of weeks. Qualifying showed we had good car speed and we've still got three race meetings to get another podium for the year."

New Delhi, May 17 (IANS) Grounded full service carrier Jet Airways’ continues to lose its senior management level personnel, further damaging hopes of the airline’s revival.
The latest to quit the company is Robin Kamark, the UAE-based Etihad Airways’ nominee on the Board of the grounded airline.
“We wish to inform you that Robin Kamark, nominee director of Etihad Airways PJSC, resigned as director of the company with effect from May 16, 2019,” the airline said in a regulatory filing on Friday.
The exodus of senior management personnel from the grounded airline began earlier this week.
Jet Airways Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Vinay Dube, the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and Deputy Chief Executive Amit Agarwal, as well as Company Secretary and Compliance Officer Kuldeep Sharma all resigned in quick succession.
Having run out of cash, Jet Airways suspended its operations on April 17. Its aircraft are also being gradually de-registered, adding to the growing uncertainty about the airline’s revival.
Lenders of Jet Airways led by State Bank of India SBI are currently in the process of selling the airline to recover their dues of over Rs 8,400 crore. Private equity firm TPG Capital, Indigo Partners, National Investment and Infrastructure Fund (NIIF) and Etihad Airways had been shortlisted to submit their bids.
On May 10 — the last date for submitting the binding bids — only Etihad submitted its offer, and that too in the eleventh hour. The other two bids received for the airline were unsolicited.
Faced with salary delays and uncertainty over the airline’s revival, thousands of Jet Airways employees, especially pilots and engineers, have left the company to join rival carriers.

Post-mortem and neuroimaging studies suggest that the serotonergic system, which originates from the brainstem raphe nuclei, is disrupted in Parkinson's disease. This could contribute to the occurrence of non-motor symptoms and tremor, which are only partially explained by dopamine loss. However, the level of involvement of the serotonergic raphe nuclei in early Parkinson's disease is still debated. (123)I-FP-CIT single photon emission computed tomography is a marker of dopamine and serotonin transporter availability. While (123)I-FP-CIT binds primarily to dopamine transporters in the striatum, its binding in the brainstem raphe nuclei reflects serotonin transporter availability. We interrogated baseline single photon emission computed tomography scans of subjects recruited by the Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative to determine: (i) the integrity of the brainstem raphe nuclei in early Parkinson's disease; and (ii) whether raphe serotonin transporter levels correlate with severity of tremor and symptoms of fatigue, depression, and sleep disturbance. Three hundred and forty-five patients with early drug-naïve Parkinson's disease, 185 healthy controls, and 56 subjects with possible Parkinson's disease without evidence of dopaminergic deficit were included. In the Parkinson's disease cohort, 37 patients had a tremulous, 106 patients had a pure akinetic-rigid, and 202 had a mixed phenotype. Patients with Parkinson's disease had significantly lower serotonin transporter availability in the brainstem raphe nuclei compared to controls (P < 0.01) and subjects without evidence of dopaminergic deficit (P < 0.05). However, only 13% of patients with Parkinson's disease individually had reduced signals. Raphe serotonin transporter availability over the entire Parkinson's disease cohort were associated with rest tremor amplitude (β = -0.106, P < 0.05), rest tremor constancy (β = -0.109, P < 0.05), and index of rest tremor severity (β = -0.104, P < 0.05). The tremulous Parkinson's disease subgroup had significantly lower raphe serotonin transporter availability but less severe striatal dopaminergic deficits compared to akinetic-rigid patients with no resting tremor (P < 0.05). In tremulous patients, raphe serotonin transporter availability was also associated with rest tremor constancy (β = -0.380, P < 0.05) and index of rest tremor severity (β = -0.322, P < 0.05). There was no association between raphe serotonin transporter availability and fatigue, depression, excessive daytime sleepiness, or rapid eye movement sleep behaviour disorder in early Parkinson's disease. We conclude that the raphe nuclei are affected in a subgroup of early drug-naïve Parkinson's disease patients and that reduced raphe serotonin transporter availability is associated with the severity of resting tremor but not non-motor symptoms.

The ascended master John the Baptist had two embodiments that are recorded in the Bible: the Old Testament prophet Elijah, and John the Baptist in the New Testament. Jesus himself declared that John the Baptist was Elijah come again.
Elijah and Elisha
The story of Elijah the Tishbite and his disciple Elisha (an earlier embodiment of Jesus) is recorded in the Book of Kings, where Elijah’s ascension is described in this way: “There appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.”
After Elisha witnessed his teacher’s ascension, he took up “the mantle of Elijah that fell from him” and he smote the waters of Jordan. When the waters parted and Elisha went over, the sons of the prophets saw that the spirit of Elijah rested on Elisha. From that time on, Elisha performed many miracles, feats of alchemy that were prophetic of the triumph of his Spirit over matter during his final embodiment as Jesus. The accounts of Elisha healing the waters, multiplying the widow’s oil, opening the womb of the Shunammite and later the raising of her son from the dead, the multiplying of the loaves of barley and the curing of Naaman of leprosy are recorded in the second book of Kings together with other demonstrations of the Law by this “Man of God.”
John the Baptist
After his ascension, Elijah received the almost unique dispensation that enabled him to reembody; and so he came again as John the Baptist to “prepare the way of the Lord.” He willingly took on a flesh form and allowed himself to be sacrificed at the hand of Herod, in order to assist his disciple to fulfill his mission.
The relationship of Jesus and John the Baptist is a story of great devotion, love and respect—beautiful to behold and seldom equaled. It is the story of the guru-chela, master-disciple relationship. Being the great and humble teacher that he was, John said of Jesus, “He must increase, but I must decrease”; for he bore in his heart the great God-desire that Jesus should exceed him in attainment and in service. He wanted to remain in the background, to see the glory—the full mantle of his ascended consciousness—upon Jesus. After his lifetime as John the Baptist, he returned to the ascended state.
His service today
The ascended master John the Baptist says:
There must be a meeting ground for heaven and earth, and that is the place of the heart. Your heart is the receiver of God, of Christed ones; and the womb of the Divine Mother is the recipient of the seed of Alpha for the birth of the Divine Manchild. Therefore, as Christed ones, welcome the King of kings and Lord of lords into your heart! As flames of the Divine Mother, cherish the incarnation of the Christ!
It is the materialization of the God flame that we pursue to make earth a haven of light that all mankind might know the kingdom of God within and without, the conformity of sacred law.

Brooklyn newcomers Stay Inside are sharing their hard-hitting, post-hardcore single “Radio Silence”. As a taste of their forthcoming debut EP, the band explore elements of early emo and hardcore while pushing forward in an era that remembers these sounds well, but has been itching for some twists. As advocates in the struggles of our turbulent times, the band makes this fact known with their visceral style. Their debut EP As You Were is out April 21st, so stay tuned for more info and listen below.
On the new single, guitarist and vocalist Bartees Cox, Jr. says, “Thematically, Radio Silence is a song about how people in relationships change over time and the choices people have to make to get through those situations. By the end of the song, we get to a point where we’re just happy to be drinking and partying instead of worrying about the next hard decisions and changes that are to come.”

Lancashire County Council have finished the safety study they promised us for Church Brow. Their key conclusion is the rather obvious point that cars should not go too fast round the bends in front of the church! They recommend a 20 mph speed limit for that section. The Parish Council don’t have a problem with the recommendation – the issue for us is whether all motorists will comply, or will it just be the ones which already drive at a sensible speed.
There is no real enforcement of existing 20 mph limits. It seems most motorists follow it where they agree with it, such as roads in residential areas and ignore it on wider roads running through a locality with fewer houses. Check out the road from the A6 through Hest Bank to the coast. Nineteen out of 20 cars travel closer to 30 mph or above. (What do you do on that stretch of road?!).
We pressed County Council on how it would be enforced but the answers weren’t convincing. The M6 link enquiry inspector also questioned closely on the point of enforcement so the next stage is to see what if anything he says in his report.
Meanwhile there are some safety aspects we could improve ourselves. It is noticeable that cars are often parked on the pavement at Church Brow. They generally leave enough room for a pedestrian to squeeze through, but not enough space for a pram. Forcing pedestrians onto the road seems like an unnecessary danger. The cars parked are presumably owned by residents or people visiting residents or the church. Parking on the pavement is of course illegal, but should we be asking these people to desist voluntarily?Download H2M6 report

Texas starter Rich Harden is somewhat of an enigma this season. He’s a good pitcher that doesn’t allow many hits but his control has been horrid allowing 23 walks in 23.2 innings pitched. It’s very odd to see a pitcher with a 4.56 ERA and a 1.86 whip while only allowing a good .250 batting average against himself.
Maybe visiting his old stomping grounds tonight (Oakland Coliseum) will remedy his issues as in 49 career games there he’s only allowed a 2.98 ERA and a very sleek 1.17 whip.
This will be the first time he’s ever pitched against the A’s in his career, so there’s no real hitter vs. pitcher stats to check out here.
His opponent tonight is lefty Dallas Braden who has been absolutely stellar at home this season in which he’s tossed 20 innings, allowed only 13 hits (3 of those were homers) and only walking 3 batters. This gives him a home ERA of 2.25 and a nasty 0.80 whip. Opposing hitters have only hit .188 against him there.
Braden has faced a handful of Rangers in the past. No Ranger has homered off of him but a few have some decent averages against him:
Elvis Andrus 0-4
Vald Guerrero 2-3
Josh Hamilton 2-3
Ian Kinsler 4-10
Michael Young 4-13
Texas has been pretty hot lately winning 3 in a row and 7 of their last 10. They’re 6-6 on the road this season.
Oakland has been playing mediocre dropping their last game and losing 6 of their last 10 games overall.
Rich Harden should be really motivated to come back to Oakland and pitch against one of his old teams. Dallas Braden should be sharp as well. Who will win this game is anybody’s guess, but the game has some pretty good betting value with the UNDER 8 runs.

Now that we’ve made it past the craziness of Talladega, we can get back to more accurately forecasting how the rest of the Chase is going to play out.
The big news is the elimination of Brad Keselowski. He had started the Chase as the second biggest favorite to win the title. With him gone, Kevin Harvick now has a huge lead over everybody else, in terms of the odds of advancing and winning.
Beyond Harvick, almost every other driver has about a coin flip’s chance of making it to Homestead. Remember, if the races were completely random and every driver was completely equal, that column on the left would show everyone with a 50/50 shot of advancing. What we see in reality is something very close to that, almost every driver between 41 and 55 percent.
Those numbers are based on historical results. That means the majority of the drivers left in the Chase are evenly matched against each other. Matt Kenseth, Kyle Busch, Denny Hamlin, and Carl Edwards are all in that coin-flip group – all four of them are Joe Gibbs Racing teammates.
One crazy concept to watch: There is a five percent chance for the entire JGR team to advance to Homestead.
And take a look at Jimmie Johnson, who seemed to have a lot of momentum after his win a couple weeks ago. Our model has never fully gotten behind him yet, giving him only the fifth best odds, less than a 50 percent chance to advance.
“While the odds are close to 50/50, the current model has Hamlin and Johnson on the outside looking in after this round,” said Josh Browne, former Sprint Cup crew chief and now co-founder at Pit Rho. “There’s no doubt that this weekend’s race at Martinsville is likely the best opportunity for one of these two cars to grab the checkered flag.”
HOW THE PREDICTIONS WORK
With the help of Andrew Maness from racing analytics firm Pit Rho, we ran the numbers to show every driver’s shot of moving through each round of the Chase. The mathematical model was designed by both Maness and me, using past driver performance to predict future results. By running 100,000 simulations of how the rest of the season might play out, we see the most likely outcomes.
Eric Chemi runs data journalism for our sister network CNBC, including a heavy dose of sports analytics. Prior to that, his NASCAR forecasts have been on Sprint Cup television broadcasts, and he has consulted for Sprint Cup teams on strategy, statistics, data, and analytics.

Towards Low-Voltage and High-Capacity Conversion-Based Oxide Anodes by Configuration Entropy Optimization
journal contributionposted on 2023-02-15, 00:28 authored by L Qian, J Li, G Lan, Y Wang, S Cao, L Bai, R Zheng, Helena Wang, SK Bhargava, H Sun, H Arandiyan, Y Liu
Transition metal oxide (TMO)-based anodes attract much attention for lithium storage due to the merits of high theoretical capacity, facile synthesis, and easy scale-up. Moreover, the increased working potential avoids the issue of lithium dendrites formation and thus improves battery safety. Herein, we propose a route to significantly improve the electrochemical performance of TMO anodes through configurational entropy optimization. For example, high-entropy oxide (FeCoNiCrCu)3O4 is synthesized by carefully selecting metal elements. The (FeCoNiCrCu)3O4 electrode ensures not only low potential but also holds high capacity. In the half-cell configuration, the (FeCoNiCrCu)3O4 electrode provides a specific capacity of 575.7 mAh g−1 after 200 cycles at 0.2 A g−1. More importantly, the electrode showed a relatively low discharge voltage of 0.39 V at 0.5 A g−1, which is caused by the configuration entropy optimization. The assembled (FeCoNiCrCu)3O4//LCO coin-type full cell exhibits a high capacity of 266.3 mAh g−1 after 100 cycles at 0.2 A g−1 and an operating voltage up to 3.9 V.

Dan Senor and Roman Martinez, who served in Iraq with the Department of Defense and the Coalition Provisional Authority, take to the pages of the Washington Post to correct Donald Rumsfeld. "According to Donald Rumsfeld's memoir, U.S. difficulties stemmed not from the Pentagon's failure to plan for the war's aftermath - or Rumsfeld's unwillingness as defense secretary to provide enough troops to secure Iraqis after the collapse of Saddam Hussein's regime," Senor and Martinez write. "Rumsfeld pins most of the blame on the Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) for its alleged mishandling of Iraq's political transition in 2003-04, which 'stoked nationalist resentments' and "fanned the embers of what would become the Iraqi insurgency.'"
We were Defense Department officials through the early phases of the war and worked for the CPA in Baghdad. We have defended many of the difficult decisions Rumsfeld made and respect his service to our country. But his book paints an inaccurate and unfair history of U.S. policymaking concerning Iraq's political transition.
Rumsfeld's basic theme is that the CPA erred by failing to grant Iraqis "the right to govern themselves" early in the U.S.-led occupation. Rumsfeld claims that he favored a "swift transition" of power to an "Iraqi transitional government" and that the Bush administration formally endorsed this strategy when it approved the Pentagon's plan for an Iraqi Interim Authority in March 2003. He writes that the head of the CPA, L. Paul Bremer, unilaterally decided not to implement this plan.
But Rumsfeld's own contemporaneous memos undermine this notion. The 26 "Principles for Iraq - Policy Guidelines" that Rumsfeld gave Bremer in May 2003 said nothing about handing real power to Iraqis.
To the contrary, Rumsfeld's instructions endorsed the top-down approach his book condemns. The CPA should "assert authority over the country," he wrote, and should "not accept or tolerate self-appointed [Iraqi] 'leaders.' "
Whole thing here.

It was amazing how good they all were about having to share me,” costume designer Sarah Edwards tells Vogue of dividing her time between the eight leading ladies of 2018’s summer blockbuster, Oceans 8. “Most of these actresses are used to being the star of a movie, not having to share that spot with seven others, but they were really respectful of each other.”
The calibre of the cast – Hollywood heavyweights Cate Blanchett, Sandra Bullock, Anne Hathaway star alongside Mindy Kaling, Sarah Paulson, Awkwafina, Rihanna and Helena Bonham Carter – also made Edwards’s job easier. “We got a lot of help from the fashion world,” she recalls of the costume department bulging with every major fashion brand. “There were a lot of people really interested in being a part of it.”
It was when Cartier came calling, however, that she realised the extent of the cast's influence. The storied jeweller invited Edwards and Hathaway into its archive to select rare stones to complement her costumes as Daphne Kluger. “We sat in this incredible room and Cartier brought us trays and trays of jewellery,” she remembers. “We went through every single one and matched the jewellery to all of Anne’s outfit changes – it was incredible.” The luxury French house also created the magnificent Jeanne Toussaint necklace that is the focus of film’s Met Gala heist.
Ah, the heist. The master plan of Danny Ocean’s sister, Debbie (Sandra Bullock), and her team of money-hungry mates. Edwards’s team (15 styling assistants on normal days, near 50 for the gala shoot) dressed 300 extras in couture and designer dresses that PR agency KCD helped her source. “We couldn’t go to Macy’s and buy these dresses, it would never have looked real! We had to have access to authentic designer gowns.” Debbie Ocean’s crew wore archive Givenchy (Blanchett), Alberta Ferretti (Bullock), Zac Posen (Rihanna), Valentino (Hathaway), Dolce & Gabbana (Bonham Carter), Naeem Khan (Kaling), Prada (Paulson) and Jonathan Simkhai (Awkwafina), but several celebrity cameos weren’t confirmed until the shoot day. Other high-profile actors, who Edwards will not name, turned up wearing red-carpet wear from their personal collections. The more the merrier, or rather, the more fabulous the better, was the mood.

Liverpool legend turn Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher has launched a savage attack on Lord Alan Sugar after the business mogul’s recent bizarre comments on the late Gérard Houllier.
Lord Sugar, who is perhaps best known for his role on the television show ‘The Apprentice’ has had an absolutle nightmare on social media on Monday morning.
The 73-year-old business giant took to his Twitter account to engage in an age old (and very boring) social media fight with rival fan and pal, Piers Morgan.
Lord Sugar, who usually goes tit-for-tat with Morgan surrounding Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur’s latest results took it a step too far on Monday after he tweeted a strange message in relation to the sad passing of former Liverpool manager Gérard Houllier.
Houllier sadly passed away at the age of 73 with the news confirmed on Monday morning by BBC Sport.
In what is usually the time for fans and stars to pay their tributes to such an icon, Lord Sugar didn’t get the memo and instead decided to use Houllier’s passing as a chance to take a dig at Morgan.
In a shocking attempt to shut Lord Sugar down, Liverpool legend Carragher sent a short but not-so sweet reply.
Delete this you fucking idiot.

Understanding distinct bosnian brides types of intimate relationships is crucial if you are in search of a long lasting relationship. You have to love your self first, while this will help you stay in the best vibration and know what serves your largest good. You are unable to be in two minds simultaneously. If you are in two minds, you happen to be in two different types of romantic relationships. Each one particular requires a certain set of qualities and abilities to be effective. Listed below are the main types of human relationships and exactly how each an individual differs from your other.
Interpersonal connections are an vital part of existence. These connections range from close and intimate to demanding and faraway. They constitute the foundation of each of our social support system and lead to our mental and physical health. If you are in several of these types of connections, you will feel more comfortable and content with the way things are going. In each type, your companion will have various set of needs. These differences could possibly be reflected inside the relationship on its own, or they are caused by different factors.
Sexual relationships depend on sexual interest and usually previous only a few evenings. These romantic relationships can be very risky and not healthy and balanced for a long-term romantic relationship. If you want a marriage that will last more than a few times, you can decide on a friend-with-benefits romance. While a friend-with-benefits relationship can work, there exists a risk that particular spouse will fall in love and end up being not able to function in society.
Social tasks and qualities define the kinds of relationships that folks have. For instance , people in average human relationships tend to have short relationships and one common goal. They tend to share minimum information about themselves and only occasionally express their particular feelings. They are really typically characterized by mutual assistance and support. However , for those who have an ideal relationship, you will have a confident relationship that enables you to come to feel happy and satisfied. You will find six main types of relationships that affect the way we believe and conduct themselves.
Lively partners tend to be more active than passive. This sort of relationship may result from a lot who were wedded for an incorrect reasons. In this instance, the few learned to keep things distinct in order to avoid issues. Their effective partner may become resentful and in many cases act out if they will feel exacerbated. They may also develop a good sense of entitlement, which leads to a volitile manner. It is important to notice that many couples have the same qualities.
Unsatisfied relationships are those in which the lovers are unhappy and are unwilling to reunite. They stay together for the purpose of other reasons aside from love, including children or social pressure. The main dissimilarities between unhappy and healthful relationships are definitely the amount of time and energy offered and received by each partner. Yet , both companions should feel appreciated and respected in a healthy romance. The two of them need to work towards bettering each other, this means putting besides their own wants and requirements and offering the other person matched attention and respect.

A group of university researchers claim to have developed a method to increase the data bandwidth of fiber optic cables by eliminating a barrier that has limited the maximum power at which optical signals can be sent.
The team from University of California, San Diego said its method of adjusting the frequency of light signals would allow fiber lines to carry data over long distances without the need for electronic repeaters.
"Today's fiber optic systems are a little like quicksand. With quicksand, the more you struggle, the faster you sink," said researcher Nikola Alic in a statement.
"With fiber optics, after a certain point, the more power you add to the signal, the more distortion you get, in effect preventing a longer reach. Our approach removes this power limit, which in turn extends how far signals can travel in optical fiber without needing a repeater."
Such repeaters, also known as optical regenerators, convert optical signals into electronic ones, process the electronic signals, and then retransmit them as optical signals once again.
Because they must process as many as 200 channels of signals at massively high data rates, they are essentially supercomputers, making them costly and difficult to construct.
The UCSD group's paper, published in the June 26 issue of the journal Science, found that by running light pulses through a frequency comb, data could be sent and received over long distances without significant signal distortion.
Researchers found improved signal quality
The boffins, during their experiments, were able to send an optical signal along 12,000 km (7,456 miles) of optical cable and successfully decipher the information at the other end, setting a new record.
They did it by using the frequency comb to synchronize the frequencies of the various channels of optical information traveling across a given fiber. Ordinarily, such signals are subject to crosstalk caused by a physical phenomenon known as the Kerr effect. The longer the fiber and the higher the power level, the greater the crosstalk.
But by manipulating the signals to take into account the known physical properties of the Kerr effect before the data was even transmitted, the researchers were able to render the crosstalk reversible at the receiving end.
"We are pre-empting the distortion effects that will happen in the optical fiber," said research scientist Bill Kuo, who was responsible for developing the wide-band frequency comb used in the experiments.
The group's method could provide telcos with a way to boost their optical signals – and thus their data transmission rates – without the labor and expense of installing repeaters along their lines.
The seven-person team behind the study included five researchers from the UCSD Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and two researchers from the Qualcomm Institute, a division of the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology that's named after the San Diego-based chipmaker (thanks to hefty donations) but operated jointly by UCSD and the University of California, Irvine. ®

Willie Robertson of “Duck Dynasty” is dipping his toes in the political waters by endorsing Vance McAllister in a Louisiana House race.
In the ad posted Wednesday on YouTube, the bandana-wearing A&E reality star says, “Hey, this is Willie Robertson, reminding you to get out Saturday, Nov. 16 and vote for my good buddy, Vance McAllister. Let’s send somebody from the 5th District who speaks for us to help turn Washington around.”
McAllister faces Republican state Sen. Neil Riser in a weekend special election to replace former Rep. Rodney Alexander (R-La.), who retired earlier this year.
“I never rule anything out,” he told ITK last month when we asked about the possibility of him making a run for political office.
“I like staying involved in politics and trying to help shape things,” the 41-year-old owner of Duck Commander said.
