Essays on the Determinants of Public Funding for Universities and the Impact on Innovation and Entrepreneurship
Repository Usage Stats
This dissertation is comprised of three studies that investigate the implications and determinants of public funding for universities.
The first chapter lays down the foundation for the other two studies. I discuss how state-level policies, as determined by legislators, represent a pivotal component of firms' non-market strategies that have direct implications for the viability of their innovative and entrepreneurial activities. I expand this discussion to identify gaps in extant studies surrounding state-level policies and state legislators.
The second study focuses on the state funding for 420 public universities to estimate the precise return on state investments in higher education as measured by two economic outcomes -- the generation of university patents and formation of business establishments in a given university's local economy from 2002 through 2014. Using an instrumental variable estimation strategy, I predict and find a positive, causal association between state funding and the number of patents granted to public universities. I also observe a similar causal relationship between state funding and the entry of new business establishments near a given campus. This becomes pronounced for small firms in the manufacturing, retail, and service sectors, and even more for small firms in high-technology industries that are known to rely heavily on universities as a source of external inventions - pharmaceutical, medical equipment, and semiconductor.
The third study explores a new determinant of state funding for 420 public universities by leveraging novel, hand-collected data on the educational experiences of state legislators - specifically if and where they received postsecondary education. I predict and find a statistically significant, positive association between the share of legislators who attended their states' public institutions and state funding for their entire public higher-education system. A similar positive relationship is also observed between the share of state legislators who attended particular campuses of the state's public university system and funding for those campuses. This relationship is more pronounced among publicly educated legislators who represent legislative districts close to their alma mater's district, and becomes most consequential when the legislator's district contains his or her alma mater.

Can anyone write like John Updike? He could make even adultery lyrical.
He does not turn a blind eye to the toll it takes. The lovers are exposed for what they are — cheating on their spouses and neglecting their little children. But Updike’s powerful prose captures the irresistible magnetism that drives two married people headlong into love.
No book could have a more romantic title than Marry Me.
But it is Updike the sensuous moralist’s bittersweet cautionary tale about the temptations that could ruin a marriage.
Jerry wants to marry Sally, and she wants him.
And when her husband, Richard, finds out, he does not stand in their way.
Instead he threatens to sue Jerry unless he marries her. He wants Jerry to pay for alienating her affections from him.
But Ruth is not letting go of Jerry.
She has broken up with Richard, an affair about which Jerry and Sally know nothing.
There are no innocents in this early 1960s extramarital romance except the little children. Whiny, sulky, helpless little brats who have to be fed and bathed and taken out to play while their parents think of separating.
Ruth tells Jerry he can’t walk out on them — and there are moments when he also thinks he can’t.
He is caught in a terrible bind, yearning for Sally, but his conscience won’t let him go unless Ruth sets him free.
The scenes where they discuss breaking up and then sleep in the same bed or engage in other intimacies show how complex marriage can be.
But Updike is at his best in the early part when Jerry and Sally are rapturously in love, undetected by their spouses.
Here they are making love on a desolate beach in the afternoon.
Love by the sea
They moved back to the blanket and drank from the paper cups. Then they drank the wine from each other’s mouth; he spilled a little into her navel and lapped it up. In time he shyly asked, “Want me inside you?”
“Yes, so much? All the time?” Her voice was lifting everything into questions again.
“There’s nobody around. We’re really quite hidden.”
As he kneeled at her feet to pull off the lower of the two pieces of her yellow bathing suit, he was reminded, unexpectedly, of shoe salesmen; as a child he had worried about these men who had made a career of kneeling and tugging at other people’s feet, and had wondered why they did not appear to feel demeaned by it.
Though Sally had been married ten years, and furthermore had lovers before Jerry, her lovemaking was wonderfully virginal, simple and quick. With his own wife he had a corrupt sensation, often, of convolution and inventive effort, but with Sally there was always, for all the times she had endured this before, a priceless sense of her being, yet once again, innocently amazed. Her face, freckled, rapt, the upper lip perspiring in the sun and lifted so her front teeth glinted, seemed a mirror held inches below his own face, a misted mirror more than another person. He asked himself who this was and then remembered, Why, it’s Sally! He closed his eyes and fitted his breathing into her soft exclamatory sighing. When this had ebbed into regular breathing, he said, “It’s better outdoors, isn’t it? You get more oxygen.”
He felt her rapid little nodding flutter on his shoulder.
“Now leave me?” she said.
Lying beside her as she wriggled back into her bathing suit pants, he betrayed her by wishing for a cigarette. It would have gone so well with the plenitude, the gratitude,the wide sky, the scent of sea. Ashamed of slipping back into a polluted old self, he poured the last of the wine into their cups and rooted the empty bottle like a monument, mouth up, in the sand.
She looked down into the empty parking lot and asked, “Jerry, how can I live without you?”
“The same way I live without you. By not living most of the time.”
“Let’s not talk about it. Let’s not spoil our day.”

from Zero Hedge:
…As a result of the latest TIC data we know know with almost complete confidence that:
i) “Belgium” is, or rather, was a front for China: either SAFE, CIC, or the PBOC itself.
ii) That Belgium’s holdings, after soaring as high as $381 billion a year ago, have since tumbled back to only $2532 billon as China has dumped the bulk of its Euroclear custody holdings, and that once this number is back to its historical level of around $170-$180 billion, “Belgium” will again be just Belgium.
iii) China’s foreign reserves tumbled and this was offset by a the biggest quarterly drop in Chinese pro-forma treasury holdings, which dropped by a record $72 billion in the month of March, and a record $113 billion for the quarter.
So why mask its offshore holdings? So when China proceeds to liquidate nearly $100 billion via its custody account, the US didn’t feel compelled to chastise Beijing. After all there is no official confirmation that Belgium is indeed China, and likely won’t be – it was merely a buffer account which China used to build up TSY holdings in, and now – to rapidly liquidate.

Mugabe vows `renewed vigour` for indigenisation drive
Johannesburg: Zimbabwe`s President Robert Mugabe on Tuesday vowed to pursue controversial indigenisation policies with "renewed vigour", in a speech to parliament that was boycotted by the opposition after disputed elections.
Opening the new session of parliament, 89-year-old Mugabe vowed to redouble efforts to put foreign firms under national control, saying Zimbabweans must not be "bystanders" in running the country`s economy.
"The indigenisation programme is to be pursued with renewed vigour," the veteran leader said, in the first session following the contested July 31 election.
"Indigenisation and empowerment legislation will be reviewed and strengthened during this session," he added.
The past decade of Mugabe`s 33-year rule has been marked by land seizures from white farmers and a controversial indigenisation law, first implemented in 2010, that forced foreign companies to cede 51 per cent shares to Zimbabwean partners.
So far it has been applied to mines only. Retailers and banks are next in line.
Critics say the law benefits Mugabe`s allies and scares away foreign investment at a time when the country is grappling with high unemployment.
The president`s speech was boycotted by lawmakers from the main opposition party, the Movement for Democratic Change, who have branded Mugabe`s election win a sham.
Mugabe "has no right to open parliament and we can`t participate in the ceremony presided over by him," the party`s chief whip Innocent Gonese said.
Zimbabwe`s electoral commission declared Mugabe the winner of the July election with 61 per cent of the vote, extending his rule by up to five years.
But the vote was rejected by MDC leader Morgan Tsvangirai as "a massive fraud". He has claimed that large numbers of voters were turned away in opposition strongholds, and he has also criticised the chaotic state of the voters` roll.
Outside parliament today scores of Mugabe supporters, clad in ZANU-PF party t-shirts, sang songs of praise and beat traditional drums in honour of the octogenarian.
Mugabe, who arrived at parliament in a black Rolls Royce accompanied by his wife Grace, said in his address that he was ready to mend fences with Western countries.
"We stand ready to work with even those who before were at odds with us," he said.
"On the other hand, we will continue to demand the immediate and unconditional removal of sanctions imposed by some arrogant Western countries."
Some Western nations imposed sanctions on Zimbabwe after elections in 2002, which Western observers said were rigged to hand Mugabe victory.

Even while Asian markets were slumping last month, U.S. mutual fund buyers were fattening their portfolios. The Investment Company Institute, a fund trade group, reported equity mutual funds had a net inflow of $18 billion in December, 50 percent more than in the previous December, and about the same as in November. For all of 1997, new investments in equity funds totaled $232 billion, a gain of five percent from $221 billion in 1996. So far this month, new money continues to flow into funds, according to The New York Times. A spokesman at Charles Schwab & Company reported new investments this month total $520 million which is more than was received in December. January is traditionally the strongest month of the year for new fund investments.
The bull market has given many investors confidence, and unreasonable expectations, according to a brokerage company executive. Stephen Doyle, Chairman of Montgomery Asset Management, said his company's latest survey of investor sentiment shows some investors have been "conditioned to become overly optimistic and expect unusually strong returns." He warned, "These investors should remember the importance of maintaining a balanced portfolio, a long-term approach to investing and a realistic view of returns, because it is unlikely that the markets will continue indefinitely at this fervent pace." Doyle's comments came after release of a Montgomery survey of 750 mutual fund investors nationwide during November and December. It found three out of four (74 percent) mutual fund owners expect their portfolio holdings to consistently beat the S&P 500 every year. The survey came after the market's pullback in October, and the majority of the respondents (79 percent) said they did "nothing" in regard to their mutual fund holdings since that decline. More than four out of five investors (88 percent) believe their current portfolio is properly structured to withstand a significant correction in the market.
Virginia's for investors, too
The state whose motto is "Virginia is for lovers" is now also for mutual fund investors who want to invest in national capital-area companies. Monument Funds Group ( http://www.monumentfunds.com ) has organized two portfolios, Washington Regional Growth and Washington Regional Aggressive Growth. Fund managers will focus on investing in companies either headquartered in, or doing substantial business in, the Greater National Capital Region in the District of Columbia, Baltimore, and the rest of the Maryland/Northern Virginia region.
Fund targeted to analysts' stock picks
Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc. Monday announced the addition of the Focus List Portfolio to The Bear Stearns Funds. The Portfolio is designed for capital appreciation, and gives investors the opportunity to invest in the top stock picks of the Bear Stearns equity research department. The 20 stocks on the focus list are selected for their potential to outperform the market over the next three to six months. Bear Stearns is launching three other new mutual funds, High Yield Total Return Bond Portfolio, International Equity Portfolio, and Balanced Portfolio, bringing the number of funds in the family to 11.

Skin cancer and other diseases detected earlier with AI
Image credit: Dreamstime
Researchers at the University of Waterloo in Canada have developed artificial intelligence (AI) technology to help detect a type of deadly skin cancer earlier.
Melanoma is a common type of skin cancer, which can spread to other parts of the body. It is easily treatable if detected early – often by changes in appearance of moles – but can be deadly if noticed too late.
“There can be a huge lag time before doctors even figure out what is going on with the patient,” said Professor Alexander Wong, a systems design engineer at the University of Waterloo. “Our goal is to shorten that process.”
Currently, consultants carry out visual examinations of moles and other potentially affected areas of skin to decide whether patients require biopsies, which can lead to diagnosis.
The technology uses machine-learning techniques to analyse photographs of the skin, then provides doctors with data of biomarkers of melanoma.
The software is trained on a dataset of tens of thousands of images of patches of skin, and their corresponding levels of eumelanin – a type of natural skin pigmentation – and haemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells. When shown new images of potentially cancerous patches of skin, the machine learning program is able to suggest the quantities of eumelanin and haemoglobin in the patch.
Changes in the concentration and distribution of these natural chemicals are strong indicators of melanoma.
“This could be a very powerful tool for skin cancer clinical decision support,” said Professor Wong. “This more interpretable information there is, the better the decisions are.”
The researchers suggest that the AI system, if deployed to doctors, could save significant healthcare costs by preventing unnecessary biopsies, which also often leave scarring. Cases flagged up by the system as potentially cancerous could be followed up with human inspections and interventions.
The researchers hope that the technology could become available to doctors in 2018.
Introducing AI tools to medical research and practice can provide greater objectivity than human doctors and patients can hope to achieve, and allows for huge amounts of data to be analysed in a short period of time. This reduced the amount of tedious, repetitive work clinicians are expected to do, allowing them to instead focus on aspects of their work that requires human experience and judgement.
Meanwhile, researchers across the Atlantic at McGill University are also harnessed the power of AI to help with earlier diagnosis. Scientists from the Douglas Mental Health University Institute’s Translational Neuroimaging Laboratory are using AI techniques to develop an algorithm to recognise the warning signs of dementia up to two years before its onset, based on a single PET scan of the brain of at-risk patients.
Machine learning tools have also been taught to recognise signs of diabetic eye disease, based on basic photographs.

The former Girls Aloud star - who looked stunning in an all-black outfit complete with killer heels - was all smiles as she was greeted by fans and paps outside the Arts Club in London.
After months of speculation, Cheryl confirmed on her Instagram page on Monday night that she would be making a comeback as a judge on 'The X Factor' when the show's 11th series kicks off later this year.
Simon Cowell will also be returning to the UK series, after three years of judging the show in America.
The two posed for a picture together once inside the press conference, and looked decidedly more cosy than they did in the picture Cheryl posted online last night where she was pretending to strangle the music mogul.
'X Factor' judges Simon Cowell and Cheryl Cole
It's not yet known who will be sitting on the judging panel next to Simon and Cheryl, though it is assumed regular judge Louis Walsh will be joining them as usual.

Former workers, their families and supporters of former workers are invited to the event, which will be from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. today at the Machinists Union Hall in Middletown, 16452 Highway 34.
A formal declaration of the National Day of Remembrance, which is Oct. 30, will be made at 11 a.m.
"This is actually the first time that this industry has been acknowledged by the public," said Barbara Escajeda, a representative from the non-profit Cold War Patriots that petitioned to Congress to pass a resolution recognizing the people who worked with nuclear weapons or as uranium miners, millers and haulers.
Escajeda will be at the Middletown event today to talk about some other projects her group has planned to honor former workers, including a couple of time capsules and a memorabilia tour next year.
"With the day of remembrance, it's our intent to help educate the public about who this population is and was," Escajeda said, adding that it's also meant to acknowledge their efforts in protecting the nation.
A representative from Congressman Dave Loebsack's staff will be at the event to make a statement on behalf of the 2nd District Democrat. Representatives of Iowa's senators also may make statements, though their appearances were not confirmed to the Burlington Atomic Energy Commission Plant-Former Worker Program at the University of Iowa.
Loebsack made a statement on the House floor Wednesday to acknowledge specifically the former workers from the Iowa Army Ammunition Plant and urge support of a resolution recognizing the day of remembrance.
"For decades during the Cold War, hundreds of thousands of Atomic Energy Commission employees, including thousands of workers at the Iowa Army Ammunition Plant in my district, labored in hazardous conditions at our nation's nuclear weapons facility," Loebsack said on the House floor. "In the end, many of these workers sacrificed their health for the security of our nation, working with beryllium, asbestos, uranium and radiation, without knowing the impact these materials would later have on their health.
"But for far too long, their service and sacrifice have not been properly honored."
In Iowa, the commemoration is going on all week. The Ames Laboratory held a national day of remembrance open house Tuesday.
Laurence Fuortes, project director for the former worker program, said despite the meager turnout at the Ames event, the University of Iowa staff were regaled with many tales.
"They were actually still educating us again," Fuortes said, adding that he expects a larger turnout in Middletown.


One of the simplest and most widely used buttons is a checkbox. Checkboxes are binary buttons, either checked or unchecked. Unlike a series of radio buttons, checkboxes can be toggled independently of one another, making them popular for filtering search results, like the sidebar on Amazon. If you are already styling all of your forms, you must know how painful checkboxes can be. They, per-se, aren’t really that much customizable. So in this post we’ve collected 20 Awesome Checkbox Designs & Animations for your inspiration.


The end of the year doesn’t tend to be a peak season for software releases, at least not beyond the commercial gaming market’s Christmas campaign. Even still, the end of 2014 has been studded with projects in beta phase finally coming out in their stable versions, as in the case of Android Studio or VLC for Android, as well as the release of other hits sure to have a long run, like Hearthstone for Android.
Android Studio (Windows/Mac)
Although the first public beta was launched in May 2013, it was only just this month that the first stable version of Android Studio was officially released. Google aims for this Android app programming suite to become the standard in the process of app design and implementation. A much more cohesive and intuitive set of tools that brings together creativity and programming forms the base of the project, whose version 1.0 is now available for Windows and Mac.
Possibly the biggest blockbuster of the year has now arrived from Blizzard with this trading card game set in the Warcraft universe. While it used to be only available for play on desktops, it’s now also available entirely for free on Android tablets.
AirDroid 3 (Android/Windows)
Interaction with Android devices from computers and vice versa has yet to receive a standardized manufacturer solution in December, thus prompting the development of lots of independent alternatives with varying degrees of success. AirDroid was already one of the best options out there, capable of interacting in both directions with photos, videos, apps, contacts, messages, and other content as well as your device’s settings. The new 3.0 version has increased its possibilities even further, allowing you to mirror the screen of your phone on your PC monitor and even interact with the device using your mouse.
The biggest problem with Scrolls isn’t that it was released with the responsibility of becoming the Next Big Thing from Mojang (creators of the much-loved Minecraft), but that it was released at the same time as the aforementioned Hearthstone. Its first stable version has recently moved out of the beta phase to offer an interesting combination of turn-based strategic battles and grid positioning with the development and background of a trading card game.
This, more than a release, marks something like a change of philosophy. The appeal of MAPS.ME over other popular apps like Google Maps or HERE Maps is the option to locally download full map packs for a country to access even without an Internet connection, with no stored cache or any other type of pre-loading. Till now it was a paid app, but as of a few days ago it’s possible to download the Pro version completely free.
Alongside XBMC and Media Player Classic, VLC is one of the most complete and versatile media players you can find. After lots of coming and goings, the final version of the app is now available for Android with most of the same goodies as the desktop version as well as many exclusive features.

Release:September 30, 2015
Deep within the bowels of the Ontario Science Centre, a young and impressionable me stood captivated as I watched Co Hoedeman’s The Sand Castle.
tap here to see other videos from our team.
Much like Gumby, parts of Jason and the Argonauts, Wallace & Gromit, and many other stop-motion animated films, the movement of the characters filled me with a kind of wonder and awe.
The jerky yet somehow completely organic creatures left me utterly befuddled and slightly amused until the entire village created in the film was swallowed up by a sandstorm.
How you interpret why Hoedeman destroyed his sand castle is entirely up to you, but it left me scared shitless and not that big of a fan of claymation.
As a young kid, video games were also part of my life and so were video game magazines. One advertisement for a game called The Neverhood always seemed to catch my eye.

Perfect Taisen's Turkey Gravy In 17 minutes
Taisen's Turkey Gravy – Rosemary is a strong flavored, woody herb which works well joints of meat, stews and soups. It is best used sparingly.
Delicious Taisen's Turkey Gravy menu and approach is a culmination of the little recommendations I have learned within the last 3 years. Taisen's Turkey Gravy is definitely a week-end cooking project, which will be to say you may need a couple of hours to complete it, but when you`ve got the technique down you can cook more than one order at the same time for household picnics or simply to own cool areas to consume from the icebox on a whim.

I may also teach you how to use up leftover steamed rice and make it into an appetizing, cheap, and flavorful meal for the whole family!
I attempted using somewhat less water than usual, which has been suggested elsewhere. It served a little occasionally, but different situations, I had to include more and more water as the quinoa was cooking. Then, the dry quinoa absorbed way an excessive amount of the dressing I added later.
Can I make Taisen's Turkey Gravy?
Whether your home is on your own or are an active parent, obtaining the full time and power to prepare home-cooked foods may look like a challenging task. By the end of a hectic day, eating at restaurants or ordering in may experience just like the fastest, easiest option. But ease and processed food may have a significant toll in your mood and health.
Eateries often function more food than you ought to eat. Several eateries function portions which are 2-3 situations bigger compared to encouraged nutritional guidelines. That encourages you to consume significantly more than you’d at home, adversely affecting your waistline, body force, and risk of diabetes.
Once you ready your own dinners, you have more get a grip on over the ingredients. By preparing yourself, you are able to ensure that you and your family eat fresh, nutritious meals.

- Prepare 1 of mushrooms , pre fried and cut up ( sliced ) in a bit of butter and pepper ( optional ).
Taisen's Turkey Gravy instructions:
- Cut up all of the giblets. You can cook them first if you prefer but I find that it doesn't turn out well that way as the meat got to tough.
- In a medium saucepan, add the cut up giblets and neck meat if using that..
- Add in turkey drippings / stock from your turkey pan. Turn the heat on medium high . Get the liquid boiling and boil for 10 to 15 minutes stirring a good bit..
- Turn heat down to medium low heat. Add in more turkey stock , or vegetable stock. If your adding onion , do that now. Also add in mushrooms if using those..
- I end up adding most of the juice from my turkey to make a LOT of gravy..
- Add in salt and pepper. You can also add garlic if you like.
- In a bowl , mix some milk and cornstarch to make a paste. Slowly add it into your gravy while stirring constantly. Make this as thick as you like. Always taste and add more salt and / or pepper to your liking..
- After you have this to your desired consistently set heat on low or warm until it is time to serve..
- Just before serving, turn the heat up if necessary to make it hotter if it cooled down..
- When your ready to start putting things away and saving. Add in more or the rest of the turkey juices into the saucepan or another container , stir and store this to use the next day. You may or may not have to thicken it again. Hope you enjoy ! I use this on the 3 rd day for my turkey soup :).
It’s cheaper to eat fast food than Taisen's Turkey Gravy
At first view, it might appear that consuming at a junk food cafe is less expensive than making a home-cooked meal. But that is seldom the case. A study from the University of Washington School of Community Wellness unmasked that people who make at home are apt to have healthier over all diets without larger food expenses. Yet another examine discovered that repeated house chefs spent about $60 each month less on food than those who ate out more often.
I do not understand how to cook Taisen's Turkey Gravy

What should and must not be achieved when cooking Taisen's Turkey Gravy
- Make sure every thing is freezing in a sealable package or bag.
- Meat particularly must be precisely wrapped.
- Toast bread right from freezer, anti-waste campaign urges.
- Remember that any such thing that’s a top water content, like lettuce, will not be the identical following being frozen and then defrosted.
- Try to freeze everything when at its freshest. Defrost meat totally before cooking, but other items such as bread for toasting may be baked right from the freezer.
- Never refreeze fresh beef that has been freezing and then thawed – you can, nevertheless, freeze prepared meat that was icy when raw.
- Make sure the fridge isn’t packed so complete that air can’t circulate.
Methods for starting!
Begin with new, healthy ingredients. Baking
sugary snacks such as for instance brownies, cakes, and biscuits will not support your wellbeing or your waistline. Similarly, introducing too much sugar or sodium can change a healthier home-cooked food into an unhealthy one. To make sure your diet are great for you along with being tasty, start with balanced elements and flavor with herbs as opposed to sugar or salt.
Inventory on staples. Elements such as for example rice, pasta, coconut oil, herbs, flour, and inventory cubes are staples you’ll probably use regularly. Keeping cups of tuna, beans, tomatoes and bags of icy greens available may be beneficial in rustling up quick foods when you are pressed for time.
Give your self some leeway. It’s okay to burn up the grain or over-cook the veggies. Following a several tries it can get simpler, quicker, and tastier!

Help & troubleshooting for channels on your Roku device, including adding/removing channels, logging in to, authenticating, or activating a channel, channel-specific playback issues, assistance contacting channel publishers to report issues, and adjusting channel-specific settings.
When first logging into my crave account through my Roku smart tv, we used our friend crave account because he was subscribed to watch movies and we were not. Our friend has now cancelled his account so my boyfriend and I created our own and started subscribing so we logged in. But for some reason every time we go to crave it still automatically logs us into our friends account and we have to manually log out and log back in with our account. But this happens every time. We have tried accessing through service provider and through crave and nothing seems to work! What can we do to fix this.
Have you tried removing the Crave channel, restarting your Roku device, then adding the channel back again to see if that resolves your issue?
As a last resort, we would recommend removing the channel, trying to perform a factory reset on your device, then adding the channel back again. For more information about how to perform a factory reset, visit our Support page here: How do I factory reset my Roku® streaming device?
I have the exact same problem and the Crave app will not allow us to delete it and then add it again. This is so frustrating to have to sign out and then sign in each time. Not to mention not being able to save your email or password and just hitting sign in.
I have the same problem. Even deleted Crave, unplugged Roku, then plugged back in and reloaded Crave. Still has my old Crave subscription in the memory some place. I can't do a factory reset as my remote crapped out and all I have is my cell phone app remote. Most frustrating!

Guidelines state the aim of Tx or RAI in Graves’ hyperthyroidism should be permanent hypothyroidism, which requires lifelong levothyroxine medication for maintaining euthyroidism. Creating another disease in order to treat the original disease, is no cure.
Does Graves disease ever go away?
Once the stores are drained, hormone production should drop to its normal level. Although your disease may seem to go away entirely, you might still need drug therapy to keep your thyroid operating properly.
Is Graves disease a lifelong disease?
Graves’ disease is a lifelong condition. However, treatments can keep the thyroid gland in check.
Does Graves disease go away after thyroid removed?
ANSWER: Thyroid removal is one of several treatment options that can effectively decrease symptoms of Graves’ disease. Others include anti-thyroid medications and radioiodine. Each person is different, and no one treatment is best for everyone. A thyroidectomy often relieves symptoms of Graves’ disease.
Does Graves disease shorten life expectancy?
Patients who develop thyroid storm have a 20 to 50% chance of dying. In general, if your hyperthyroidism is caught early and you control it well with medication or other options, experts say your Graves’ disease life expectancy and prognosis is favorable.
What triggers Graves disease?
Environmental factors that may trigger the development of Graves’ disease include extreme emotional or physical stress, infection, or pregnancy. Individuals who smoke are at a greater risk of developing Graves’ disease and Graves’ ophthalmopathy.
What is the prognosis for Graves disease?
Conclusion. A long-term remission of 56.5%, in an iodine-sufficient area where ATD is offered to most patients in the real world of central and district hospitals, is higher than in most studies. Relapse was most common during the first year, and prognosis was excellent after 4 years without relapse.
Can stress cause Graves disease?
There are two types, Graves’ disease or Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. Graves’ disease causes the thyroid to be overactive while Hashimoto’s causes it to be underactive. Stress alone will not cause a thyroid disorder, but it can make the condition worse.
How long can Graves disease stay in remission?
Remission rate after 10 years is in the order of 30% to 40%, and hypothyroidism has developed in 10% to 15% 15 years after ATD . Taken into account the above reviewed literature, permanent cure of Graves’ hyperthyroidism is possible albeit at a low rate of about 27% (Fig. 2).
What body systems are affected by Graves disease?
Your thyroid gland is located at the base of your neck, just below the Adam’s apple. Graves’ disease is an immune system disorder that results in the overproduction of thyroid hormones (hyperthyroidism). Although a number of disorders may result in hyperthyroidism, Graves’ disease is a common cause.
Can you have Graves disease if you have no thyroid?
Some patients with apparent Graves’ disease do not have an autoimmune thyroid disorder. One of the most common causes of hyperthyroidism is Graves’ disease, an autoimmune process in which the patient’s immune cells make antibodies against the thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) receptor on the thyroid gland cells.
What is the surgery for Graves disease?
Surgery to remove all or part of your thyroid (thyroidectomy or subtotal thyroidectomy) also is an option for the treatment of Graves’ disease. After the surgery, you’ll likely need treatment to supply your body with normal amounts of thyroid hormones.
Will my eyes go back to normal after Graves disease?
Most patients think once their medical doctor treats the body’s thyroid problem the eyes will go back to normal. This is often not the case. In some patients the eyes worsen in the months and years after medical treatment despite the body being stabilized.
Can you get disability for Graves disease?
Graves’ disease is not included as a separate disability listing, but it might cause other impairments that are covered by disability listings. If you have signs of arrhythmia (an irregular heart beat), you may qualify for a disability under Listing 4.05, Recurrent Arrhythmias.
Which celebrities have Graves disease?
Graves’ disease affects about 1 in 200 people in the U.S., according to the American Thyroid Association (ATA). Others who have struggled with it include rapper Missy Elliott, Olympic athlete Gail Devers, actress Faith Ford and former President George H.W. Bush, who was diagnosed in 1991.
What foods to avoid if you have Graves disease?
- dairy products, such as milk, cheese, and yogurt.

There are thousands of ideas and if you are going to the work of making her one, you need to make one she will like.

My daughter is a lovely woman, but the queen size hand embroidered quilt her grandmother made for her when she graduated high school has never been on a bed.

Three piece alt-rock band Lake Acacia have released the second single from their forthcoming new EP Broken Circuits, set for release in June.
'Any Day Now' focuses on the culture of silence that can often surround those suffering with mental health problems, and the spiral of loneliness and isolation that can affect those struggling to talk about their experiences.
The band said: “Any Day Now is a story about someone who suffers with mental illness and keeps it bottled up without explaining how they feel to people, despite how much they want to because they feel uncomfortable about it.
“The chorus is almost a cry for help, and plays on the idea of having two personalities or feeling like you live two different lives such as on social media. We wanted to convey this in the video using the quick switching between both personalities.”
The band will be playing Vaultstock at Banbury's Wine Vaults during the August bank holiday.
To read ore about the band and to listen to their previous releases visit their website, www.lakeacacia.co.uk.
Broken Circuits will be released on June 3.

Woman’s Club big day this Saturday
Published 9:20 am Thursday, April 19, 2018
As volunteers in action, the GFWC-NC Mocksville Woman’s Club (MWC) gives back to the community with a spirit of compassion.
The club’s March 2018 meeting got underway as Nancy Penry shared words of inspiration and Sidniee Suggs led the group in pledges.
Becky Young reported on the upcoming fundraiser, a Woman’s Day event, to be held on Saturday, April 21 at Bermuda Run Country Club, which will celebrate the Mocksville Woman’s Club’s 56 years of community work.
Guest and keynote speaker will be Adrian Wood, Ph.D., author of the blog titled, “Tales of an Educated Debutante.” She grew up in eastern North Carolina, attended Salem Academy and Meredith College. She earned her graduate degree from UNC-CH and is a successful writer and social commentator.
The Woman’s Day event will include live music, a silent auction, live 50/50 raffle and a mystery box. Money raised supports the club’s community service activities.
Jean Saunders gave an update on advertising for the event program, and Laurin Colner reported on silent auction donations.
The Arts CSP report was led by chairwomen Jean Saunders and Nancy Penry who called upon Linda Sechrist and Sharon Murphy to share their project of painting flags with students at Central Davie Academy in commemoration of Presidents Day. In addition, Vicki Smitherman and Christine Bralley announced a project to refresh the butterfly garden and plant some flowers at the school this spring.
Linda Dorsett and Karen Myers thanked the nine members of Woman’s Club who volunteered at Smart Start’s Hoedown fundraising event. The chairwomen of Education CSP also reported there were 13 applications for the MWC scholarship. Six club members participated in the interview process. The winner will be announced in April.
For International Outreach CSP, Paulette Agha and Elke Albrecht reported that dresses were still being made for the students at Pochocuape Christian School in Nicaragua. Making shorts for male students is a spring project being organized.
Evelyn Daniel shared that 22 patients and five members of the club participated in this month’s bingo at Autumn Care. Sunshine, get well, and birthday cards were sent to acknowledge special members.
A discussion of new business followed with nominees for Club Woman of the Year. This award is given to a member who has gone beyond the call of duty to share her time, talents, participation, outstanding service and compassionate “spirit” with Mocksville Woman’s Club. This award, as well as the Citizen of the Year Award, will be announced at the April meeting.
Co-chairwoman for Home Life CSP, Luanne Taylor, introduced guest speaker, Devin Lyall, Director and Founder of Wilkes Recovery Revolution, Inc.
Devin founded the recovery center after experiencing her own battle with addiction. “My mission in life is to give back what was so freely given to me,” said Devin as she described the passion felt for helping others. She has worked in the field of addiction for 4 years as an NC Peer Support Specialist with Project Lazarus as well as an NC CSAC-1 and Director of the center.
Serving Wilkes County and surrounding counties, the center’s mission is to create a community where recovery is possible. The Phases Transitional Housing program provides a safe and affordable, drug and alcohol-free residence that helps bridge the gap between treatment and independence while in recovery. The center is a 12-step based program operated by those whose lives have been impacted by addiction. One of their newest programs, a thrift store will create funds and help contain costs for families.
Devin discussed the prevalence of drug addiction and the opioid crisis facing communities: “The friend sitting next to you in church—she’s in active addiction. But you didn’t know it.” Devin believes those affected by this disease can be transformed, stay clean and sober, and learn to have a positive lifestyle. What it takes is a person who’s ready to change and honest enough to admit they have a problem while being willing to receive help.
Following the program, the meeting was adjourned. Nancy Penry gave a blessing, and members enjoyed fellowship with one another. Tables were tastefully decorated with live Shamrock plants and green beads to giving nod to the upcoming St. Patrick’s Day tradition. A delicious, green, mint-flavored ice cream pie was served for dessert.
Women interested in learning more about Mocksville Woman’s Club are invited to attend a meeting as a member’s guest.

Joaquin Phoenix Lost 23 Kgs To Play Joker, A Role He Had To Be Convinced To Play For 4 Months!
A lot of actors push themselves to different extremes to ace the role that they have to play onscreen. To essay the iconic character of Joker has never been easy. It requires a lot of skills, efforts as well as physical training to stump the audiences with disturbing personality of Arthur Fleck, the Batman's arch-nemesis.
Joaquin Phoenix, who is playing Joker in the upcoming movie, did everything that he could have to ace the character. He lost 52 pounds (approx 23.5 kgs) but strangely, he had no idea about the relevance of weight loss to the role.
“There’s something enjoyable about not having to answer a lot of those questions. It requires a certain amount of participation from the audience that feels different,” director Phoenix was quoted as saying by LA Times.
Did you know that it took Joker director four months to convince Joaquin Phoenix to take up this iconic role, for which he has the highest odds of winning an Oscar? And it took a year for him to convince Warner Bros to say yes to R-rated Joker.
The Oscar nominated actor only signed the movie once he was convinced that he would be allowed to play “a complex flesh-and-blood character in shades of gray rather than a black-and-white cartoon villain.”
Joker, which is set to have its world premier at Venice Film Festival, has an R-rating for its "strong bloody violence, disturbing behaviour, language, and brief sexual images." It shows the origin story of the Clown Prince of Crime, played by Joaquin Phoenix.
Joker is slated to release on Oct 14.

Feel that chill in the air? It’s just the beginning of the winter season, which means pretty soon, we’ll all be turning up the dial on our HVAC thermostats and getting cozy in warm layers. But it doesn’t matter how heavy your sweater is if your home is poorly insulated.
If you spent last year trying to stay comfortable despite a drafty home or the bitter chill took its toll on your home energy costs, you may not be looking forward to the cold. But just because the weather outside is frightful doesn’t mean your home energy bills can’t be delightfully low this season. At J&J Roofing in Roseville, our team of residential roofing contractors works hard to help Michigan homeowners keep their homes comfortable and minimize their energy costs. In this post, we’ll talk about how we can help you keep your energy bills manageable this year until the warm weather returns in the spring.
How Did Your Home Perform Last Year?
If you’re looking to reduce your home’s energy expenses, it’s a good idea to start by looking backward. Consider how well your home’s HVAC system was able to keep up with the cold last year. Did you find yourself having to run your system harder to keep your home more comfortable? Was your monthly energy bill much harder than expected? If you said yes to either of these questions, it may be time to update the insulation in your home’s attic.
Here are a few more signs your insulation needs updating:
When your home is adequately insulated, the heat rises into the attic and escapes through the vents, but if you are dealing with outdated insulation, the warm air stays in place and heats the top of the roof. This can cause the snow to melt, and as the water runs down the sides, it can refreeze, resulting in an ice dam. These dams are a major concern because if they slide off the roof, they can damage your home or when they melt the water can pool and cause leaking.
Uneven Temperatures or Drafts
If you are walking into your living room and it's freezing, but your kitchen feels like a sauna, this is a warning sign that something may be off with your insulation. Typically, a well-insulated home should be free of drafts, and there should be an even distribution of heat, so if you're finding weak points, you may need to schedule an inspection.
High energy bills can come from many different sources, including other people's usage and cracks around doors and windows, but another common source to consider is the condition of your insulation. If you have found any proof of infestations, live in an older home, or are experiencing mold or mildew issues, it may be time to consider calling a professional.
Another indicator your insulation needs upgrading is if your pies are freezing. Proper insulation is in place to keep your home protected from the cold weather, but if it is outdated or no longer functioning, a burst pipe can wind up costing thousands of dollars in damages.
Most Homes Are Poorly Insulated
You may be surprised to learn that the vast majority of homes are under-insulated in some way. Besides updating the insulation in your home’s attic, we can also update your basement, ceiling, walls, crawl spaces, floors, ducts, and even garages. We offer several insulation options to choose from.
Polyurethane spray foam is one of the most popular insulation options available and comes in the denser closed-cell as well as open-cell varieties. We also offer fiberglass and cellulose insulation. We can perform a walk-through of your home and help you decide which rooms need the most attention and which insulation is right for your needs and budget.
How Does Your Roofing System Contribute to Your Home Energy-Efficiency?
The condition of your roof can also help contribute to higher energy efficiency levels in your home and keep your costs lower. Ensuring proper ventilation will help increase the performance, by creating a balance between the intake and exhaust vents. And when you have regularly scheduled roofing inspections and repairs completed, this will help enhance its durability and keep your home protected through all the seasons.

Miles Hiked: 16.6
PCT Mileage: 1016.9
I woke up to ice on my sleeping bag and frozen water bottles this AM. I was too cold to get out of my sleeping bag until 6am. I watched Apache pack up in the meantime. I was glad I only had to go 16.6 miles to town. It feels like I’ve had to hike over 20 miles into town the last few times I’ve gone in. I was really looking forward to getting to Sonora Pass and Kennedy Meadows North. It would mean the Sierra section of the PCT is complete! I also really needed a rest day as I was feeling incredibly fatigued again. The five mile day out of Tuolumne did nothing for me. I left camp after Apache and woke Bahama Mama up. My first mile was so slow because I was so tired. Then I ran into The Italian (emphasis on the I) who helped me pick up my pace. I met him at Tuolumne meadows and was glad to see him again. He kept me company until I had to stop for water and eat some snacks. My stomach was grumbling despite just eating breakfast. I dug into my bear can ravenously as everyone hiked past me.
As I continued on, I could see the big climb I had up ahead. I saw other hikers traversing some snow fields and got nervous. They looked big, but maybe the trail bench was wide and I couldn’t see it. When I got to the climb it felt like my pace slowed even more. Luckily the trail bench was really wide but the trail was small gravely rocks and it felt like I slipped backwards with every step. It was exhausting. Even my entire upper body felt fatigued. When I got to the top I was happy to see Bahama Mama (aka BAM) and The Italian sitting down and eating. I had another snack because I was hungry yet again. Today was the first day I’d start to have hunger on the hour every hour despite stopping frequently to eat. The hiker hunger is here in full force. I hiked with BAM and the Italian for the rest of the day. I was so glad to have company as we had a few more snow traverses going into Kennedy Meadows. They were longer ones and made me nervous because I did have spikes. It ended up being fine. The Italian was really nervous too because he had a traumatic fall on one of the passes in the Sierra. We stuck together. I can’t imagine there being more snow than we had out there. I thought today would be the scariest day of it was totally covered in snow. A fall would mean falling all the way off the mountain most likely to death if you didn’t use an ice axe to self arrest yourself properly.
The going was slow and it made me even more glad I had a short day of hiking. All the snow patches made it so you had to take your time getting to town. Probably not a bad thing for me. I did the last downhill all the way to Sonora Pass with BAM and hitched into Kennedy Meadows North down a long windy road at the bottom with her, the Italian, and Downhill Daddy who I met at the road. The first thing we all did when we got there is sit down at the restaurant for lunch.
Kennedy Meadows North was much like Kennedy Meadows South. A rustic little outpost where everything takes way longer than it should. The biggest difference is that KMN was crawling with families on Vacation. I wondered if it was the first week of this all starting. I don’t think I’ve seen a crazy tourist area like this on the whole trail. All the families were camping and horseback riding. While we waited on our food that took forever, we took turns going into the lodge to rent a bed for the night, get wifi, shower tokens, and the lay of the land. For lunch I had a tiny salad and chicken tenders with fries. As much as I was glad for the town food, I was disappointed in the lack of fresh food options. The bed was pleasantly surprising. I thought it would be a bunk bed but I got a normal sized twin bed all to myself! I shared a room with three older men and another young girl who is section hiking south by herself.
I started doing my chores such as laundry, shower, and resupply shortly after dinner. I wanted to have everything done so I didn’t have to worry about it. Plus everything took twice as long to do as it normally would. I hung out with other hikers for a little bit, but I spent a large portion of the day just laying in my bed on my phone. I needed chill time so bad and I had to upload over a weeks worth of missing blog posts from the Sierra Section.

It’s impossible to watch this video of 600 Israelis singing together and not get the shivers.
First of all, the crowd is filled with Holocaust survivors and their families, and the video begins with beautiful shots of the survivors. Secondly, the song that they sing is called “Chai,” a word many of us are familiar with, meaning “alive.”
In short, it’s a simple but poignant testament to survival.
The incredible video was put together in 2018 by Koolulam, a socially minded public singing project, in cooperation with Zikaron BaSalon, which means “remembrance in the living room,” an organization that lets people host or join intimate talks with Holocaust survivors in private homes.
What’s really remarkable about the performance is that the song itself is beautifully performed and harmonized. Its a powerful take on the original, which was sung by Ofra Haza (she of Prince of Egypt fame) in the 1983 Eurovision song contest. While the original has a fun, ’80s pop vibe, this version is slower, heartfelt, and defiant. Watching a room filled to the brim with Holocaust survivors and their descendants singing “am Yisrael chai” (the people of Israel live) is just so moving.
Watch it below, and get those tissues ready!


The downsides of density, including traffic congestion, contagious disease and crime, were common in Victorian London and classical Rome, just as they are today in Sao Paulo and Lagos. Our urban past provides lessons for developing world cities today. The first lesson, that I highlight, is that political power, not commerce, has long driven the growth of the world's largest cities, and that fact remains true for many developing world mega-cities today. The second lesson is that while market access fundamentally shaped the cities of the past, the power of transport to determine urban fortunes has declined. Transportation infrastructure no longer transforms cities unless it is accompanied by complementary investments, such as education. The third lesson is that infrastructure, such as sewers and roads, functions best when combined with incentives, which can ensure the adoption of sewers and discourage the abuse of highways. The fourth lesson is that the development of many western cities relied on a nexus of property rights for landowners, including the right to build, buy, alienate, mortgage and rent, that are far more limited in many developing world cities. The fifth lesson is that there is a menu of institutions for managing infrastructure, including direct public control, independent public authorities and public private partnerships. Local conditions, especially the level of public capacity, will determine the best choice among those institutions.

A mid-engine Corvette has been cycled through the rumor mill more times than that stripper rumored to go all the way for just an extra five bucks. The scribes over at Car and Driver say they have surmised that the next-gen Vette will have to be a mid-engine American supercar because the current C7 is tapped out of all the power it can produce.
According to the Ann Arbor based rag, Mark Reuss, GM’s head of global product development, has let slip that the company is already working on the next GM halo car. Sources close to the magazine say the next car will be revolutionary, as opposed to the evolutionary design found in the relatively new C7 offering.
Sitting atop the rumored C8 lineup is said to be the Zora ZR1, named after Zora Arkus-Duntov who has been christened the "Father of the Corvette.” The car will allegedly emerge as a 2017 low-volume model with new, mid-engine architecture. By 2020, all Corvettes, even the base of the base offering, will allegedly be sporting an engine in the middle.
While speculating about engine offerings is vastly premature—not the only thing we’ve done prematurely, mind you—expect Chevy’s small-block V-8 to soldier on uninhibited. However, there is the stark reality that fuel economy regulations are only going to get more stringent, so it should not be a surprise that we see boosted V-6’s powering Corvettes in the future.
Think about the engine in the Cadillac CTS Vsport, which has a 420-horsepower, twin-turbocharged sixer under the hood. That Caddy weighs almost 4,000 pounds and can still hustle to 60 in about 4.6 seconds—not bad, grandpa. Car and Driver opines that there will initially be only one transaxle choice and it won’t be a manual, but a dual-clutch automatic. The magazine reports that 65 percent of new Stingray deliveries are with the automatic transmission—so weep appropriately.
With the engine taking a seat out back, the seating position can be lower. Improved sightlines out the front of the car will somewhat make up for the obstructed rearward view. Expect other techno-goodies to infiltrate the center console. Exterior expectations include even more carbon fiber, which is already extensively used in the top-end Z06 offering. With the new weight distribution, expect new wheel and tire sizes to compensate for the new design.
While any chance of a true mid-engine Corvette is still years away, we can dream. Rumors of such projects have percolated before, only to be killed off by management at General Motors. We hope things continue to look up for the company, because we want our damn mid-engine Vette.
