Diane: Hey Tom, how's it going?
Tom: Pretty good. Listen, Diane, I heard through the grapevine that you're going to be working on the Johnson account.
Diane: Don't believe everything you hear around the water cooler. I'm not on the Johnson account, and a little birdie told me that Joe is getting that account.
Tom: Well, here she comes, so let's ask her.
Diane: Joe, is it true that you're going to be working on the Johnson account?
Joe: Not me. That little brown-nosing Robbie is getting it, I hear. He's really been sucking up to the new boss, the guy who replaced Lars.
Tom: You think so? The new guy seems pretty sharp. I think he would recognize Robbie for what he is. But if Rob does get the account, it will be a real feather in his cap.
Diane: I wish Lars was still our boss. He was the salt of the earth.
Joe: Yeah, but then again, a new broom sweeps clean. Maybe this new guy can clean out the dead wood and get us moving forward.
Tom: Yeah, right, that'll be a real piece of cake! Some of these dinosaurs have been here since old man Simms started the company 40 years ago!
Diane: I hear that golden parachutes are in the pipeline for all of them. They'll finally be going, but going with a smile.
Tom: And in the meantime, the rest of us will have to keep our shoulders to the wheel and do twice the work.
Joe: I doubt it. Most of these old guys only have one or two accounts. I don't think there'll be much picking up the slack.
Diane: Yeah, from what I can see, some of these guys haven't done any real work in a month of Sundays.
Tom: That's a matter of opinion, really. They don't do much, but they are nice window-dressing. People like the idea of age and experience.
Diane: You think so? Mr. Simms was the top banana for a long time, and I think he kept his friends working here long past their sell-by date. I think newer clients want younger, more cutting edge people working their accounts.
Joe: Age and experience versus youth and enthusiasm. The classic dilemma.
Tom: In advertising, people like youth. That's Advertising 101.
Diane: Well, getting rid of Simm's people is good, but it's a long shot, getting this place back to the way it was in the 70s. We were the hottest advertising company in town back then.
Tom: Back when Simms and his friends were all young. See what I mean?
Joe: Well, we were young once, too! With them gone, we're going to be the dinosaurs, did you ever think of that?
Diane: So I guess we'd better be the ones to keep our noses to the grindstone if we don't want to be the next ones getting the chop!
Tom: Speaking of, I'd better get back to work.
Diane and Joe: Me, too!

What if.... a thief feels sorry for his victim, a widow about to marry off her daughter, and he returns the money he was going to steal and even adds more of his own funds. May the victim use money that was probably stolen from someone else?

Each year, Dartmouth celebrates Martin Luther King Jr.'s life and legacy with a slate of events. The all-virtual 2021 celebration—which will take place over the course of the next two weeks—embodies the theme that emerged during 2020: hope and action. Read more.

America's COVID-19 Vaccine Rollout Is Way Too Complicated
Dartmouth's Kendall Hoyt says there's a "trade-off between speed and efficacy" in distributing the vaccine. "If we're going for the perfect solution to such a degree that we have to throw out doses at the end of the day, then we're failing."
Joanne Rogers, Memory-Keeper of 'Mister Rogers' Neighborhood,' Dies at 92
Joanne Rogers, the widow of Fred Rogers '50, aka Mr. Rogers, has died at age 92. Happily known as "Mrs. Rogers," she was "his loyal partner for 50 years and later a memory-keeper for his message of kindness," the Post writes.
The Lawyers and Doctors Making America's Crisis Worse
In an opinion piece about the way some rogue professionals have worked against the public interest, Dartmouth's Brooke Harrington writes that more professional organizations need to step up, use their sanction power, and protect the public.
This year began like any other year on the Dartmouth campus, where students gathered to study, compete, perform, play. And then, of course, many things changed as the pandemic took hold.
Dartmouth News takes a look back on an academic year that included a snowy winter carnival and a presidential campaign, and by June an introduction to COVID-related changes: physical distancing, mandatory maskwearing, and online and remote teaching and learning, among many other things.
While we may not know exactly what lies ahead, we can appreciate the beauty of the Upper Valley and the success and resilience of the Dartmouth community during a unique year through the lenses of College Photographer Eli Burakian '00, Multimedia Manager Robert Gill, and photo intern Keoni Ocalvey '20, Thayer '21, who talk about some of the details and inspiration behind their favorite photos, in calendar order, from this past year.
To promote a new Employee Resource Network for the veteran community at Dartmouth, Jason Mosel, a Marine veteran and a network engineer for Information, Technology and Consulting, ran 100 miles around campus to honor the Marine Corps birthday and Veterans Day.
Mosel started running at 8 a.m. Tuesday, following a 5-mile loop around campus. Throughout the day Tuesday, Mosel ran with the Marine Corps flag, and on Wednesday he carried the American flag. Mosel ran through the night, paused to raise the American flag on the Green at dawn today, and completed his 100-mile run at noon.
Sponsored by the Office of Institutional Diversity and Equity, Employee Resource Networks was established to advance recruitment efforts and increase retention of diverse employees at Dartmouth.
Neither wet snow as the polls opened nor passing through COVID-19 public health checkpoints to enter the polling place could discourage Dartmouth community members from exercising their right to vote in the 2020 presidential election. Voting continued smoothly on campus throughout the day in a year that also saw a record number of absentee ballots. For public health reasons, Dartmouth had agreed to let the town use Leverone Field House instead of holding voting at Hanover High School.
During fall term, Dartmouth is quite the place to see as the campus lights up in a kaleidoscope of warm fall colors. From late September through mid-October, photographers Eli Burakian '00, Robert Gill, and Keoni Olcalvey '21, Thayer '22, captured scenes from this fleeting season.
Students are taking full advantage of being able to study in Dartmouth Library's Baker-Berry Library, which reopened its doors to undergraduates on Sept. 26.
Among the new COVID-19 safety rules now in effect: Students must reserve study space in advance (available online in three-hour blocks); wear masks at all times; and maintain physical-distancing precautions—one person per table. The library will be open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Library users should enter through Novack Café with a current Dartmouth ID.
The Rauner Special Collections Library, Sherman Art Special Collections, Evans Map Room, and Jones Media Center resources are available by appointment for faculty, staff, and all students approved to be on campus. Researchers may request items from other libraries on campus using the the online catalog. More information on accessing library services and facilities this fall is available on the on the library website.
With optimism, laughter, and some nervous tears, half of Dartmouth's undergraduate students—including the new Class of 2024—returned this week to a campus altered by coronavirus. Wearing masks, they were met under tents by a welcoming committee of staff volunteers who handed out information, answered questions, and guided the students through their first round of COVID-19 tests. They will follow quarantine rules in their residence halls for 14 days, and be tested again on their third and seventh days in Hanover. New student orientation continues through the weekend. Fall term classes begin Sept. 14 for all students, remote and on campus.
Summer seems a perfect time to take a closer look at what's happening at the Dartmouth Organic Farm. Even without the usual help from students, Farm Program Manager Laura Braasch and Molly McBride '14, a fellow with the Sustainability Office, have kept the farm running, providing produce to those in need locally and finding creative ways to connect with students remotely. The farm is teeming with life right now, every plant and insect doing its part, resulting in a nutritious and beautiful kaleidoscope of colors and textures. (Photos by Robert Gill)

Miranda Lambert Living Out Dan Seals' Song
His 30-Year-Old Hit Becomes Her Photo Caption
by Alison Bonaguro 9/25/2015
For Miranda Lambert's younger fans, this might have just sounded like she was waxing poetic on the stunning beauty of the west.
Lambert's latest Instagram post on Thursday (Sept. 24) will take your breath away.
"Won't you meet me in Montana, I want to see the mountains in your eyes"….Were kickin' off the Roadside Bars and Pink Guitars tour tonight in Missoula! Yall ready for @raelynnofficial @iamcourtneycole @claredunnmusic? #partytime #roadsidebarsandpinkguitars #hikedtothetop #feeltheburn
A photo posted by Miranda Lambert (@mirandalambert) on Sep 24, 2015 at 1:49pm PDT
But it's the caption she put underneath it that really did me in.
"Won't you meet me in Montana, I want to see the mountains in your eyes," she wrote, taken right from the lyrics of Dan Seals and Marie Osmond's country duet "Meet Me in Montana." It's a song I always loved, but more importantly, so did country music. Even though Seals and Osmond had both had success in the soft rock world, this No. 1 song earned the pair a CMA Award for vocal duo of the year in 1986.
(Then again, maybe it was Osmond who got Music City to take notice. She was, after all, a little bit country.) Say what you will about social media, but that one post says more about Lambert's deep and genuine love for a few decades of country music than any biography ever could.

Alison makes her living loving country music. She's based in Chicago, but she's always leaving her heart in Nashville.

Biden Goes Big
Somehow, policy makers slid from "never waste a crisis" to "everything is a crisis," a development that is particularly irksome during an actual crisis.
Katherine Mangu-Ward | From the April 2021 issue
(Illustration: Joanna Andreasson, Source image: Gage Skidmore)
"We need to act big," declared Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen in a February 4 interview with Good Morning America about COVID spending. The next day Vice President Kamala Harris took those words to heart, wielding her tie-breaking vote to push a package worth nearly $2 trillion through the split Senate, ignoring the official Republican counterproposal to spend a mere $618 -billion.
But the right was far from united behind that smaller (yet still massive) package. The same morning Yellen was on TV, conservative columnist David Brooks was in The New York Times declaring "Biden Is Right To Go Big." This, of course, was after outgoing President Donald Trump left the country with budget deficits so large that the y-axis on every chart had to be adjusted.
The stated excuse for the spending bonanza is that this is a genuinely unprecedented situation. As Sen. Mitt Romney (R–Utah) put it during a previous relief bill debate, "I happen to be a deficit hawk. I don't like borrowing money. I don't like spending money we don't have. But the time to borrow money—maybe the only time to borrow money—is when there is a crisis, and this is a crisis."
But President Joe Biden's agenda is not just about borrowing money to handle the fallout from the pandemic. Somehow, policy makers slid from "never waste a crisis" to "everything is a crisis," a development that is particularly irksome during an actual crisis.
As he announced his economic team in December, Biden went off-script to make this chillingly casual remark: "You know, the Founders were pretty smart….There's a reason why all the states and localities have to have a balanced budget, but we're allowed federally to run a deficit in order to deal with crises and emergencies, as we have in the past." That line wasn't written into his script; it was a peek at the cud the man was chewing at the moment. "We should be investing in deficit spending in order to generate economic growth," he went on.
To Biden—and indeed to nearly all of the mainstream Democratic Party, and much of the Republican Party as well—nearly every policy priority seems to be justified by a crisis large enough to win the Founders' hypothetical benediction to take on spreadsheet-breaking amounts of debt. Leaving aside the dubious historical validity of such a claim about our bewigged forebears, such statements reveal where the new president and his party are searching for rationalizations for what they are about to do.
Biden's plans are enormous and wide-ranging. His $1.3 trillion infrastructure proposal is large enough that every week will once again be infrastructure week. There's $2 trillion in spending for an environmental initiative helmed by not one but two climate change czars. A relative moderate on health care compared to the rest of the Democratic field, Biden plans merely to expand eligibility for and the amount of subsidies available through the Affordable Care Act, at a cost of about $750 billion over a decade. With student debt, the new president has already paused repayment requirements on $1.7 trillion in student loans. He is now pushing Congress to enact loan forgiveness as well, though he has so far declined to go along with more radical proposals for an executive order offering $50,000 in amnesty per person.
Then there are the plans that have less obvious price tags but represent a significant cost in terms of lost growth or hampered innovation, such as rollbacks of previous deregulation; a $15 minimum wage; and the administration's ambitious yet vague net-zero emissions goals.
All of this may well activate some small-government muscle memory in parts of the GOP. But by embracing or at least tolerating Trump's highhandedness and free spending—not to mention earlier Republicans' lack of fiscal discipline—the party traded away a significant portion of its ability to credibly object to big increases in spending and in the scope of the state. And many of the party's more consistent fiscal hawks flew the coop as the last administration wore them down, so there simply may not be the manpower on the Hill to take a productive stand on this issue. Instead, the field is occupied by a new breed of Trumpian Republicans, like Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley (see page 20), who are more than happy to spend and regulate their way to populist authoritarian ends.
Meanwhile, as Biden staffs his administration with old stalwarts, he is running into a weirdly parallel problem: It wasn't so long ago that fiscal vigilance and balancing budgets were solidly within his party's Overton window. Bill Clinton was celebrated for his presidential prowess on this front, and Barack Obama kicked off his first term with a summit on "fiscal responsibility."
Some of the people Biden initially signaled he might bring into his leadership team lost out because of their historical affiliation with such now-outdated notions. The appointment of longtime policy adviser Bruce Reed to a position of responsibility in the new administration was blocked, for instance, because of his scandalous involvement with the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform years ago.
The combination of the political economy of constant crisis and the vague cover afforded by trendy Modern Monetary Theory—which posits that an economic powerhouse in possession of a global reserve currency doesn't have to worry about deficits because it can always just create more money—makes fretting about debt seem passé and even a bit embarrassing to today's Democratic movers and shakers.
But convenient new conventional wisdom does not change the facts that debt comes due and that reversing the ratchet in the growth of government is very nearly impossible. There may well be a post-COVID economic boom. But the more the government spends, the harder it will be to grow our way out of the hole we've dug.
Libertarians, perhaps more than most, value consistency both across time and across topics. Neither major party has a clean record on debt and deficits at this point. There are still people in both parties who are old enough to remember when fiscal restraint was more than a rhetorical cudgel to be wielded opportunistically. But if old-style small-government Republicans or revivified Clintonites do find their footing in the swamp, there will still be the matter of whether there will be enough of them, whether they can be trusted—and whether there's anything they can do to turn the tide.

First Love – Conclusion
Home again, the teens all go home. After dinner, Maddie gets a phone call.
Maddie picked up the extension and waited for her brother to hang up. "Hello?"
"Hey," it was Clayton.
"Hey, yourself."
"Weird being home, huh?"
"Very. My mom is still in freak mode. She doesn't want me to go next summer. That's okay, Dad is on my side."
"Same here. She's been yammering in Spanish for the last three hours. Dad finally opened a bottle of wine to calm her down."
They laughed quietly.
"I miss not being able to kiss you goodnight," Maddie said.
"I'm going through withdrawal. That's why I called. You promised me something."
"I did?" she feigned innocence.
"You did. So, I'm asking again…."
There was a click as someone picked up the phone upstairs.
"Robby, off!" Maddie said, knowing it was her little brother.
"You know what I'm asking," Clayton said. "And I'm totally fine with waiting until you're ready. But I wanted you to know I'm thinking of you."
"I miss you." She paused. "Can you sneak out later?"
"Yeah, when?"
"In about twenty minutes? That way, the mini-monster will be in bed and can't rat me out."
"Our usual spot?" he asked.
"You bet."
"I'll bring the Dr. Pepper."
"I'll bring the Pringles."
It was nearly 11:00 when they met up in Maddie's backyard. Their destination was her princess playhouse that her father built for her sixth birthday. Clayton hopped over the fence after handing the sodas to Maddie. His kiss made Maddie breathless.
"I needed that," he murmured. "I've missed you."
"I've been going through Clayton Withdrawal,"Maddie admitted. "The entire time my mom was griping about our trip, all I could think about was you."
"For real?" Grinning, he walked her to the playhouse and opened the door for her.
The house was full sized with a vaulted roof and a loft. More than once, Maddie and her friends had spent the night out there, telling ghost stories. The furnishings had changed over the years. Gone were the tiny chairs and toy appliances. They had been supplanted by a full sized desk and chairs. There was an old mattress in the loft. Maddie vacuumed it every few weeks and kept the place dusted. It was her private retreat. She and Clayton had spent many hours here talking.
"This place brings back a lot of memories," Maddie said as she popped open her soda can.
"Yup. We had our first kiss right over there," Clayton said, pointing to the far corner of the room. "I about had to tackle you to get it."
"What can I say? I was terrified."
"Of me?"
"No, of getting pregnant. You know how my mom is. She always told me that if I kissed a boy, I'd have a baby."
Clayton chuckled. "Well, not entirely true."
"Well, duh, I know that now."
"I don't just wanna kiss you, Mads."
"I know that." She smiled, taking his hand. "Soon, I promise. I want this too. I want you to be my first."
"You've always been first with me, Maddie."
They kissed a long time, the snack forgotten. Much as Clayton wanted it to progress, he sensed Maddie wasn't ready. It was enough for now. He was patient and confident that when she was, he would be the one she turned to.
"I love you so much, Clayton. It feels so good to say that after all these years."
"Maddie, I can't even remember a time when I didn't love you."
"Me too, Clayton. You were my first and best friend. You took me to my first dance, gave me my first kiss and now, you're my first love."
"And you're mine too. My first—and only—love."

Megan Marx began her journey into fame after appearing in The Bachelor Australia and Bachelor in Paradise, two well-known shows in Australia. Spiking on Instagram with her daily adventures and getting inspiration from other people's journey, she took the opportunity to create her own stories. This led the 29-year-old celebrity to write a book – it started as an autobiography, but it evolved into a fictional thriller, named Episode Eight.
We took Megan Marx on a tour at our store Melbourne Duty Free, to experience the duty free behind the scenes and to get to know her travel routines.
The lifestyle. My time is my own, and I feel like doors open to follow my passions. I've recently completed my motorcycle license – which means you'll find me on and off the road, working with brands and influencers in the bike industry! Woohoo!
What are you about to do in the coming months?
In the next few months, I'll be promoting my first novel and writing my second!
What inspired you the most while visiting our duty free store? And while travelling in general?
I'm a massive perfume fan – inside a duty free store, I can try new perfumes and purchase travel perfume packs. I'm pretty sure everyone does this, right?! I'm a little nuts about it! I guess travelling, in general, has the same vibe – trying new things.
If there's one store section your fellow Instagrammers shouldn´t miss, which one would it be?
I'd advise to check out what's exclusive to duty free. You can really pick up some very special items you won't be able to find anywhere else - Check out FORUM so you're prepped.
What do you like the most about our exclusive and limited edition of White Walker by Johnnie Walker?
Asides that it tastes great and the bottle design is epic? I love that it's exclusive to duty free. It means that when I have that dinner party, my friends will be very impressed! Plus, it works wonders for a Game of Thrones night!
Could you reveal your top tips before preparing a suitcase?
Have a good think about what you will actually WEAR. A lot of people I know over-pack to the extreme. Not only does this make for clumsy travel, but it doesn't allow room for all your travel buys on the way back!
Dreaming is free. You have one night for you and your friends in our store. What would you do? Imagine anything you'd like and don't hold back.
I'd have a dance party with the biggest BoomBox speaker there is, Johnnie Walker exclusive, and try every single makeup product there is. The ultimate girl's night!
Imagine your next upcoming trip, which product would you buy in Reserve & Collect and for whom?
I would get my Mum a Marc Jacobs perfume… I think it's about time she gets one in the flesh and she'd love that!
Describe the experience of visiting us in 3 words.
Although summer is over in Australia, the weather is still great to travel, experience new adventures and find incredible places with the people you love. There is no better way to say cheers to those who are by your side than with exclusive products such as White Walker by Johnnie Walker. Megan and her friends are ready to watch the final season of Game of Thrones with the limited-edition bottle she got at Melbourne Duty Free. The question is, are you ready for "winter"?


Objective: To observe the feasibility of 99mTc-tetrofosmin(99mTc-TF)single-photon emission computed tomography(SPECT) tomography for therapeutic response to nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC).Methods: 20 patients with NPC from Yancheng NO.1 People's Hospital accepted 99mTc-TF SPECT tomography in the stages of before, during and after treatment. All of the patients were confirmed by biopsy pathology examination. The imaging early uptake index(MUI) of each stage were compared and the delayed imaging uptake index(DUI), the retention rate(RI) were also calculated.Results: 17 patients completed all of the SPECT imaging and the imaging parameters were obtained, three patients completed part of SPECT imaging. The MUI of pre-treatment was 7.86±2.89, and DUI was 9.50±3.02; the MUI of under-treatment was 5.92±1.55, and DUI was 7.29±2.11; the MUI of post-treatment was 5.01±1.95, and DUI was 6.11±2.70. The difference between MUI and DUI in the same period imaging was statistically significant(P<0.01). The difference of MUI and DUI in pre-treatment imaging compared with that of under-reatment showed statistically significant(P<0.01). The difference of MUI and DUI between post-treatment imaging and pre-treatment imaging was also statistically significant(P<0.01). But there was no statistically significant difference between post-treatment imaging and under-treatment imaging(P>0.05).Conclusion: 99mTc-TF can be used for SPECT tumor imaging of patients with NPC, and the 99mTc-TF SPECT imaging helps to evaluate the efficacy of the treatment in the early stage, optimal treatment scheme for patients, and provide individualized treatment. It can be used as an important auxiliary mean in early curative effect evaluation of NPC.

Just throwing an idea out there and see if it sticks.
I often find myself building 50-200 of the same type of bot so i can build/develop faster, as i am sure many of you do as well.
All is fine and dandy, however i sometimes notice that when i have a very large number of bots working on something or heading towards something, the game tends to slow down a bit and lag because of the path mapping each bot has to do. That's a problem on a PC, i couldn't even imagine how crappy it has to be on a phone/tablet/tv.
Now here's the idea : what if we could merge the bots?
From 2 bots we merge into a brand new lvl 2 bot that inherits the properties of both.
Such a feature shouldn't be that hard to implement i think/ hope (only the overlord knows that) and it would definitely solve one of the most irritating issues that bast has been struggling with since the inception of the game.
I was just thinking of adding a idea for a new game mode to combat the to many bots building issues .
But this idea would be much simpler and for the research converter it would make a massive difference .
he will add it .
need to got discord and add it there taht is were most people goto talk about the game .
Sounds good anything to reduce lag gets a thumbs up for me. But wouldn't it be simpler to just optimize the game code so that if there is for example 25 of the same type a bot/worker on the same tile, when you order them to build a building, the game just sorta merges them into a single entity to move, instead of calculating the paths of the 25 bots/workers separately?

Sounds easy in theory but apparently it's quite hard to achieve.
The bots merger/lvl up is but a suggestion and in my view it would reduce the RAM usage and the loop of code that has to move hundreds of them at a time. Plus it would be a neat feature imo.
Truth be told, none of us really know how the code works and the countless hours it takes to create such a request. All we can do is throw ideas out there and see if they stick :) .

JuiceBlender: Reporters on Gov. Martin O'Malley for President // Plus, O'Malley on Delaney v. Garagiola & Our First Meme!
UPDATE: An O'Malley 2016 draft effort has emerged on Facebook.
For the past few months, Maryland Juice has been tracking the careful positioning of Gov. Martin O'Malley in the 2016 White House lineup. On Tuesday we noted that CNN contributor Bill Schneider had booked Gov. O'Malley for a media talk that billed him as a "hot prospect" for 2016. The event was hosted by a centrist Democratic think tank called "The Third Way." Now it seems that media speculation about the future of Maryland's Governor is sprouting up all over the place. Below we flag a few interesting press hits about the 2016 White House race. Among the bits of juice below are recent comments from Governor O'Malley about the recent CD6 Democratic Primary, comments about transvaginal probes, and remarks about Maryland's budget battle:
JUICE #1: O'MALLEY WOOS NATIONAL PRESS CORPS WITH TRANSVAGINAL PROBES - The Baltimore Sun's Annie Linskey reported on the results of O'Malley's media talk (see excerpt below). She notes some wildly sarcastic comments from the Governor below, and Maryland Juice celebrates the occasion with our first meme:
BALTIMORE SUN: Reporters from Time, USA Today, Newsweek, MSNBC and the NewsHour were among the roughly 30 journalists to attend the "Inside Politics" breakfast hosted by CNN pundit Bill Schneider at Third Way, a think tank in Washington. The first questions were on the recent troubles in Annapolis -- the legislature adjourned last week without approving the budget that leaders had agreed upon.
O'Malley told the group that a "silly bomb of gambling" went off on the final day of the legislative session, creating a budget deadlock that left the state with a budget that deeply cuts Democratic priorities like education....
National political analysts have said that a lingering Annapolis impasse could tarnish O'Malley's good-government and pro-education credentials. But after an initial round of questions Friday, reporters did not dwell on the topic.
The governor was asked about his perceived presidential ambitions. As he has in the past he deflected the questions, saying that he's focused now on governing Maryland.
He also took some jabs at the Republican party, which he believes has strayed from the economy. "Nothing says jobs like transvaginal probes," O'Malley said, referring to the controversial legislation backed by VA Gov. Bob McDonnell, a Republican, that would have required some women to undergo the invasive procedure before having an abortion.
JUICE #2: O'MALLEY ON CD6 DEM PRIMARY, BUDGET BATTLE & 2016 - The Capital News Service (CNS) printed interesting comments from Gov. O'Malley's meeting with the national press corps. CNS starts with further commentary from O'Malley over the budget battle, but they also describe his take on the CD6 battle between John Delaney and State Senator Rob Garagiola (excerpt below):
CAPITAL NEWS SERVICE: But as for his own state's budget quandary, O'Malley said he was "hopeful" legislative leaders in the Democratic-controlled Maryland General Assembly would agree on a state spending plan for a special session in time to avert the "doomsday budget," which contains deep cuts to education and other areas.
"We're all independently elected people," O'Malley said, denying he has direct control over Democratic presiding officers. "But I think there are members of the General Assembly who look at how things broke down and said, 'This is not who we are....'"
Neither Senate President Thomas V. Mike Miller Jr., D-Calvert, nor House Speaker Michael E. Busch, D-Anne Arundel, returned calls seeking comment.
Maryland's Democrats have had difficulties uniting not only in the legislature, but over the 6th Congressional District primary race, which saw upstart Potomac businessman John Delaney knock off O'Malley-endorsed state Sen. Rob Garagiola of Germantown. On Friday, O'Malley tried again to put the dissention to rest.
"I think (Delaney) waged a much better campaign (than Garagiola) … which is why he's the better candidate for the fall," O'Malley said, citing Delaney's strong fundraising and heavy television presence.
But it is O'Malley's potential as a candidate that brought him to the Third Way breakfast, which billed him as a "hot prospect" for the Democratic nomination in the 2016 presidential election.
Host Bill Schneider, a political analyst, frequent CNN contributor and distinguished senior fellow at Third Way, explained that O'Malley's position as DGA chairman, as well as media speculation that O'Malley could launch a presidential campaign after he leaves office in 2015, made him an ideal featured guest.
"The invitation was simply to indicate that (O'Malley) is usually on the list of leading Democrats who could be contenders in 2016," said Schneider, who noted that whether Obama or Romney wins this November, the race for the Democratic nomination will be wide open in four years. "And … I think he should be on that list."
O'Malley punted on the 2016 question when pressed at the breakfast.
"People kindly mention me when they talk about what the future of our party holds," O'Malley said. He praised three other Democrats who are in the mix of possible 2016 contenders — Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Vice President Joe Biden — and added it was "nice" to be named among them.
But O'Malley remained noncommittal, saying, "The future will be. … Four years is a long time."
JUICE #3: MORE O'MALLEY COMMENTARY ON CD6 PRIMARY - Roll Call also had a quick blurb about Gov. O'Malley's comments. They provided more coverage of his thoughts on the 6th Congressional District Democratic Primary:
ROLL CALL: O'Malley, like most of the party establishment, endorsed state Senate Majority Leader Rob Garagiola over Delaney in the Democratic primary. O'Malley also did robocalls for him.
"But as far as the Democratic Party? I think we'll all be pretty united behind John Delaney, who's a very successful businessman," O'Malley said. "I know him, he has been kind and helpful to me in both the of my two statewide campaigns."
"I think he waged a much better campaign," O'Malley added about Delaney. "I mean, he was better-funded. He was on the air more."
JUICE #4: O'MALLEY PONDERS WHITE HOUSE BID WITH FAMILY - The Christian Science Monitor reported on Gov. O'Malley's 2016 White House prospects. In the article clip below, he admits that there has been talk of a run within his family. Notably, O'Malley also seems to be walking away from red meat issues like income and wealth disparities, instead choosing to focus on previewing a message focused on education and opportunity (excerpt below):
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR: Martin O'Malley is often mentioned as a potential presidential candidate in 2016, and when asked Friday if he might run, he offered the usual "I'm too busy being governor of Maryland" response.
But Governor O'Malley didn't rule it out. And when asked whether he's had any discussion with his family, he allowed that the subject has come up with his two college-age daughters.
"My daughters will e-mail me when they see the honorable mentions with such tremendous leaders as Hillary Clinton and Andrew Cuomo, who's done an outstanding job in New York, and Vice President Biden, who my daughters just adore," said O'Malley, speaking at the centrist Democratic think tank Third Way in Washington. "They'll e-mail me and say, 'Boy, Dad, it's nice to be included.' So there's that sort of talk."
O'Malley dropped other hints that suggested the idea of running for president might have crossed his mind.
"Anything that you hope to do later in public service always depends on your doing a good job at what you're doing right now," says O'Malley, who's in his second term. "And so ... in some ways it's a simpler time for me, because I know I cannot run again for governor. "
That means no need to carve out time to raise money for a reelection campaign, or pressure from the party to run again and hold the statehouse, he says.
These thoughts about a possible campaign came after he maintained he wasn't thinking much about running.
"I also am the head of the Democratic Governors Association for the second year, and I suppose for that reason as well as the good job we've done in Maryland together over these last few years, people kindly mention me when they talk about what the future of our party holds," O'Malley said....
But in his conversation Friday with national reporters, O'Malley preferred to focus on the good news coming out of his state. O'Malley is all about metrics, and he came with an armful: Maryland public schools have been named No. 1 in the nation by Education Week magazine four years in a row. Maryland has also gone four straight years without raising tuition in its public universities. Violent crime is down to its lowest levels in 30 years. Over the past year, Maryland has had the ninth-best job-creation rate in the United States. Maryland has the highest median income in the country....
Over and over, O'Malley came back to education as an area where government can build for the future. So here's an early guess: If he does run in 2016, he'll pitch himself as the "education president...."
"So," he concluded, speaking about the Democrats' overall message this fall, "I think opportunity is what this is going to be about.
More on the 2016 White House race soon!

US annual drug overdose deaths hit record levels
More than 100,000 Americans have died of drug overdoses over a year-long period during the Covid-19 pandemic.
It is the highest yearly death toll from drugs ever recorded in the US.
Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that overdose deaths rose 28.5% in the 12 months ending this past April.
Experts believe that overdoses likely spiked because of the psychological toll of the pandemic and more synthetic opioids like fentanyl in the supply.
Overdoses rose in all but four of 50 US states.
Using data from death certificates, the CDC estimates that 100,306 people between April 2020 and April 2021, compared to 78,056 deaths reported the year prior.
Katherine Keyes, a drug abuse expert and associate professor of epidemiology at Columbia University, told the BBC that while overdose deaths have been rising "exponentially" over the last several years, the pandemic "added fuel to that fire".
"The data that is available indicates that there were more people using drugs alone, which we know is a risk factor for overdose," she explained. "There was also a decrease in access to services that might support overdose prevention, harm reduction, treatment and recovery."
The number of deaths from drugs has now surpassed those from guns, car crashes and the flu.
The highest increase in overdose deaths was recorded in Vermont, where the number of fatalities rose 70% to 209. Vermont was followed by West Virginia (62%) and Kentucky (55%).
Ms Keyes said that the rise of synthetic opioids – particularly fentanyl – are "among the most central contributors" to the rise in overdose deaths. Users of other drugs, such as cocaine or methamphetamine, are increasingly testing positive for fentanyl.
"It's kind of a moving epidemic that was really concentrated on people who primarily used opioids such as heroin, but now is kind of spreading out into people who are using other drugs as well," she added. "That really accelerates the overdose deaths that we're seeing to a broader range of drug users."
Shannon Monnat, the director of the Lerner Center for Public Health Promotion at Syracuse University, said that the overdose deaths are "an American tragedy, and it is preventable".
"Even after Covid is over, overdoses will likely continue to increase," she said. "We have to attack this crisis from multiple angles."
Among the possible solutions, she said, are fentanyl test strips and supervised consumption sites where users can be monitored and connected to recovery and healthcare services.
"But beyond this, we need to recognise that the increase in drug use disorders over the past 20 to 30 years is a symptom of much larger social and economic problems," Ms Monnat added.
"Ultimately, solutions to combat our drug overdose crisis will only be effective if they address the long-term social and economic determinants that are at the foundation of the crisis."

Diabetes, depression and anxiety: Impact of mental health on patient engagement
By Alex Dillaire, Carmen Valdivia and Liz Yu
Posted: August 1, 2016
Healthcare Analytics Patient Engagement
For almost a decade, the Center for Disease Control has identified strong linkages between mental health conditions, such as depression and anxiety, and chronic diseases, such as cancer, asthma, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes. For patients with diabetes, depression is twice as prevalent and medical expenditures can be 4.5 times higher than the general population.
This figure explores diabetic patients' relationships with the clinics that serve their needs. By comparing scheduling and attendance rates, the artists are stepping into the day-to-day activities of clinics that are working to serve these patients and maintain their access.
The series of vertical bars across the page represent the total diabetic population served by one health system. This lineup of over 16,600 diabetic patients then highlights subpopulations with depression, anxiety, or both, the latter being the most common mental health condition.
In the lower half of the page, the artists present two related concepts: the number of visits scheduled per year and the percentage of visits actually attended. These metrics are then stratified by the cohorts described at the top of the page. By highlighting the linkage between the two metrics for each of the four subpopulations, the artists establish a test as to whether certain conditions trigger high visitation and low attendance or the reverse.

Home//HONORS/DR. MARK WHEELER – Doctor Dad
DR. MARK WHEELER – Doctor Dad
BizDESIGN March 26, 2015
By Gabrielle Fimbres –
When Mark and Ginny Wheeler opened a pediatric endocrinology practice in Tucson 21 years ago, an infant swing for their baby, Ben, was among the most crucial pieces of office furniture.
Ginny, a pediatric nurse, and Mark were able to care for children with diabetes and other endocrine disorders while raising their own four children.
"I was in practice by myself so I was on call all the time," said this M.D. who has been voted in "Best Doctors in America" for the past seven years.
"At that time, when we sent newly diagnosed diabetes patients home from the hospital, they would call me every time they ate and they would give me their glucose numbers and I would tell them how much insulin to take until their dose was stabilized. Our four kids grew up in the practice. They learned mama, daddy and insulin as their first words."
Wheeler, now division chief of pediatric endocrinology and associate professor of pediatrics at the University of Arizona, is a 2015 Father's Day Council Tucson Father of the Year.
Seeing the daily struggles that parents of children with type 1 diabetes endure, he said it is an honor to accept the award on their behalf.
"Over the years I have gotten to know the mothers and fathers and I have learned a lot from them," Wheeler said. "That is truly a deserving group. I hope I can be a representative of some of the challenges they go through."
Wheeler was born in Fresno, Calif., and grew up in Yuma, where his mother and stepdad worked for a seed company.
"When I was a kid I always wanted to be a doctor," said Wheeler, whose father was a general practitioner in Fresno.
He attended the UA, where he studied microbiology, and went on to medical school at the University of California, Los Angeles.
"I wanted to go into pediatrics," Wheeler said. "You develop relationships with patients and families and you get to watch your patients grow and develop. I thought I would be a general pediatrician in a small town, but one of the things that interested me was endocrinology. You are still able to maintain those relationships with families and the pathology is very interesting."
During residency at the UA College of Medicine, Wheeler met Ginny, who was a pediatric nurse in the intensive care unit. The two married and Wheeler completed a fellowship in pediatric endocrinology at the University of California, Davis.
After having three children, they decided to return to Tucson. So when the children were 4, 2 and 10 days old, Tucson became their home once again, and a fourth child was born two years later.
"There were no jobs at the UA, so we set up a private practice," Wheeler said. Ginny would check in patients, do diabetes education and hormone testing and translate for Spanish-speaking families.
After five years, the growth of the practice led Wheeler to move it to the Children's Clinics for Rehabilitative Services, which allowed Ginny to spend more time with their family. A decade ago, he joined the UA.
The Wheelers, now married 28 years, are parents to Paige, who lives in Salem, Ore., with her husband, Ryan; Charley, who lives in Tucson with his wife, Alex; Ben, who is a senior at the UA and Greg, a UA freshman.
This Wildcat couple is proud of their four, who all have attended UA.
Wheeler and the UA pediatric endocrinology team treat a variety of disorders, including thyroid disorders, growth problems, adrenal disorders and issues in puberty. About 40 percent of patients have type 1 diabetes.
"In endocrinology, usually when you find a problem there is a solution or a treatment. It's nice in that respect, that we can help children," he said.
When his children were younger, Wheeler worked his schedule around theirs as much as he could.
"I would go to the kids' events and go on rounds after," he said. "We all wish we had more time with our kids. You have to make a commitment to be there when you can."
He is also involved in his community. He served on the board of JDRF and has taken part in events that raise money for research for type 1 diabetes.
He has also traveled with his church group to Agua Prieta, Sonora, to help build shelters.
After years as a nurse, Ginny fulfilled her dream of becoming a school teacher, and teaches first grade.
Wheeler credits his wife with making the family a happy one.
"She does it all," he said.

How do you make groups dynamic?
I was wondering if there is a way in Tableau 2018.3 or earlier to make the Group dimension dynamic by allowing the user to choose which Name is in which Group. Right now I have hard-coded names to be in either Group A or Group B. These groups are then shown in a different sheet to show how many Apples and Oranges are in each group. Is there any way to dynamically allow the user to select names to be into Group A and the rest be in Group B? This would allow the number of Apples and Oranges in each group to dynamically change based on which Names the user has selected to be in each group. (If it is any help there will only be two different groups at all times so if a Name is not in one group it will be in the other). I've attached the package workbook used to make the images in this post.
1. Re: How do you make groups dynamic?
Groups are static, there is no way to make them dynamic.
2. Re: How do you make groups dynamic?
Thanks Chris. My familiarity with sets is not too extensive. Would I be able to use a set that is In/Out based on which Names a user clicks on?
3. Re: How do you make groups dynamic?
4. Re: How do you make groups dynamic?
Thanks I was able to accomplish what I needed using the Set Actions.

Hack Heaven in Russia
By Robert Amsterdam | Published: October 21, 2007
The cyber-attack on Estonia during the Bronze Solider fiasco was not an aberration – thanks to a few legal loopholes, much of the world's hackers, spammers, and scammers depend upon front companies in St. Petersburg and Moscow:
PERHAPS the most famous con artist of the Soviet era was a fast-talking, eye-winking, nimble-fingered, double-dealing journeyman named Ostap Bender. He was fictional, the antihero of a satirical novel about a quest for lost jewels called "The 12 Chairs," but his casual disdain for the law reflected a widely held cynicism here. "This misdeed, though it does come under the penal code, is as innocent as a children's game," Bender says of a scheme to use a purloined document to steal another man's identity. Were Bender to ply his trade these days, he would undoubtedly be sitting in front of a computer, spewing out e-mails that slyly ask for credit card information or hawk sexual aids and other flimflam. Russia has become a leading source of Internet ills, home to legions of high-tech rogues who operate with seeming impunity from the anonymous living rooms of Novosibirsk or the shadowy cybercafes of St. Petersburg. The hackers go by names like ZOMBiE and the Hell Knights Crew, and they inhabit such a robust netherworld that Internet-security firms in places like Silicon Valley have had to acquire an expertise in Russian hacking culture half a world away. The security firms have not received much assistance from the Russian government, which seems to show little interest in a crackdown, as if officials privately take some pleasure in knowing that their compatriots are tormenting millions of people in the West.
From the New York Times, "What's Russian for 'Hacker'?"

Erich Mendelsohn
The German architect Erich Mendelsohn (1887-1953) was a leading pioneer of modern architecture. Beginning with a sculptural and emotional approach, he later became more closely allied with the International Style.
Erich Mendelsohn was born in Allenstein, East Prussia, on March 21, 1887. He received his architectural training in Berlin and Munich, and he set up in private practice in Munich at the age of 25. In Munich he was friendly with leaders of the German expressionist movement in painting. Following military service in World War I, Mendelsohn returned to his practice and prepared an exhibition of his architectural sketches. His designs showed the strong influence of expressionism in their dynamic and dramatic use of line.
Mendelsohn's first major commission was the Einstein Tower (1919-1921), an observatory in Potsdam, Germany. Although he had originally intended the building to be executed in poured concrete (to emphasize the expressive forms of the tower), for technical reasons it was constructed of brick rendered with cement. The building attracted considerable attention, particularly because of the plastic treatment of form, which made the seven-story tower seem to flow upward from its rounded base to its domed observatory. This structure typifies his interest in an architecture of abstract, sculptural expressionism.
Shortly after this Mendelsohn began to turn away from free-flowing designs. An example of this new direction is his Steinberg Hat Factory (1920-1923) in Luckenwalde, Germany. During the late 1920s he became more and more attracted to the formal lines of the International Style. At this time he was commissioned to design several branches of the Shocken Department Store. In the one at Stuttgart (1926) he emphasized the horizontal by using continuous-ribbon windows separated with bands of brick. The rounded staircase at the corner of the asymmetrical structure was cantilevered over the entrance. Mendelsohn refined this approach in the design for the Shocken store at Chemnitz (1927-1928). Here, in an imposing curved facade, the windows alternated with opaque white bands, creating a feeling of clarity and lightness.
The rise of Nazism in Germany and its accompanying religious persecution forced Mendelsohn to flee in March 1933. In London he entered into partnership with Serge Chermayeff. Mendelsohn divided his practice between England and Palestine. His most important British design was the De la Warr Pavilion (1934) at Bexhill-On-Sea. In Palestine he executed a number of buildings, including a hospital at Haifa and the University Medical Center (1937-1939) on Mt. Scopus, Jerusalem.
Mendelsohn emigrated to the United States in 1941 but did not practice until after the war. His American work included many hospitals, synagogues, and community centers. Among the most important was the 14-story Maimonides Hospital in San Francisco (1946); here he emphasized the horizontal with conspicuously cantilevered balconies with small, curved projections.
Mendelsohn designed a number of synagogues and community centers in the Midwest, including those in St. Louis, Mo. (1946-1950), Cleveland, Ohio (1946-1952), Grand Rapids, Mich. (1948-1952), and St. Paul, Minn. (1950-1954). The Cleveland design was the most ambitious, successfully harmonizing the central dome of the synagogue with the building's undulating site. Mendelsohn died in San Francisco on Sept. 15, 1953.
Further Reading on Erich Mendelsohn
A primary source is Erich Mendelsohn: Letters of an Architect, edited by Oskar Beyer and translated by Geoffrey Strachan (1968). An excellent discussion of Mendelsohn's early European career is Arnold Whittick, Eric Mendelsohn (1940). A more recent treatment, including his American projects, is Wolf von Eckardt, Eric Mendelsohn (1960). □
