\section{Introduction}\label{Intro}

Some 220 molecular species, not counting isotopologues, have been identified in the
galactic interstellar medium (ISM). Among them are ions, neutral radicals, metallic
compounds, and complex organic molecules (COMs), whose relative abundances and isotopic ratios
vary drastically due to the type of source and environment
(see CDMS\footnote{\texttt{https://cdms.astro.uni-koeln.de/}}). Conversely,
the observation of molecular abundances offers a powerful way to
characterise the gas properties and past history. This is particularly
true for distant galaxies where we lack spatial resolution.

Distant galaxies tell us about the earlier stages of the ISM.
Heavy elements and metals appeared early on in the ISM
after a first generation of massive stars released their
nucleosynthesis products into space. Secondary elements, such as
nitrogen, mostly appeared several
billions of years later; after a second generation of stars,
low-mass longer-lived stars released their processed material
\citep{Johnson2019}. The chemical and isotopic
composition of the ISM in a galaxy at redshift $z=1$, when the Universe
was half its present age, should therefore be markedly different from
that in the Galaxy and be dominated by the products of massive stars
\citep{Muller2011}. An analysis of the molecular content and isotopic
ratios in distant galaxies, thus, offers us an opportunity to characterise
these types of sources and to check current models of galaxy chemical
evolution.

A powerful method to study the ISM of distant galaxies is through the
detection of molecular lines in absorption.  The strength of the
absorption depends on the flux of the background source and the line
opacity.
The latter can be directly obtained and, if the background
quasar image is small enough to be fully covered by the absorbing gas,
this strength is decoupled from the distance to the absorber. Therefore,
it is not diluted by the telescope beam,
allowing for the detection of low abundance species
in distant sources.

One of the most studied molecular absorbers is the system located
towards the blazar PKS\,1830$-$211 at redshift $z=2.5$
(\citealt{Lidman1999}; see \citealt{Muller2006} for a detailed
description of the system). The blazar image is gravitationally lensed
by a foreground, nearly face-on spiral galaxy at $z=0.89$ that
intercepts the line of sight \citep{Wiklind1996,Winn2002}. At radio wavelengths, lensing
gives rise to two point-like images of the blazar,
embedded in a faint Einstein ring of 1$''$ in diameter (8\,kpc at the
distance of the galaxy, \citealt{Jauncey1991}). The two bright images,
that is, only the ones that are still present at millimetre wavelengths, are
located 2\,kpc SW and 6\,kpc NE of the galaxy nucleus, respectively. The redshift of
$z$\,=\,0.89 corresponds to an age of 6.4\,Gyr (see \citealt{Wright2006}
for the assumed cosmological parameters) and hence to a lookback time
close to half the present age of the Universe.

The molecular absorption arises in two spiral arms symmetrically
unrolling on either side of the nucleus \citep{Wiklind1996}.  Several
studies using millimetre interferometers (NOEMA, ATCA, and ALMA) have
revealed the molecular richness of the SW arm \citep{Muller2006,
Muller2011, Muller2013, Muller2014a, Muller2014b, Muller2016a,
Muller2016b, Muller2017, Muller2015}. More than 45
molecular species, plus more than 15 rare isotopologues, have been
reported in those studies. Among others, they consist of COMs
(such as CH$_3$OH, CH$_3$CN, NH$_2$CHO, and
CH$_3$CHO), of hydrocarbons (l-C$_3$H, l-C$_3$H$_2$, and C$_4$H), and of
light hydrides and cations (H$_2$Cl$^+$, ArH$^+$, CF$^+$, OH$^+$,
H$_2$O$^+$, CH$^+$, and SH$^+$). \citet{Muller2011, Muller2014a}
suggest that this denotes a chemical signature similar to that of the
galactic diffuse and
translucent clouds. Furthermore, the analysis of the
light hydrides detected in this source points out a multi-phase
composition of the absorbing gas \citep{Muller2016a, Muller2016b}.

PKS\,1830$-$211 is also a strong gamma-ray emitter, with several flaring
events in recent years (see e.g. \citealt{Abdo2015}).
During 2019, flares of intense gamma-ray activity were reported
using the Large Area Telescope (LAT), one of the two instruments on board the
Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope \citep{Buson2019}. The preliminary analysis conducted by
the Fermi-LAT collaboration indicates that this source
has been undergoing a long-term brightening since October 2018.
Following this gamma-ray outburst, a radio-wave monitoring campaign with the 32\,m Medicina and 64\,m Sardinia
radio telescopes, at 8.3\,GHz and 25.4\,GHz, has revealed a parallel radio emission
enhancement \citep{Iacolina2019}.

We took advantage of this event to search for new extragalactic
molecular species with the Yebes 40\,m radio telescope, whose 7\,mm
receiver was recently updated with the help of the European Research
Council NANOCOSMOS project\footnote{\texttt{https://nanocosmos.iff.csic.es/}}.
In this Letter,
we report the detection of six new extragalactic molecular species towards
the SW image of PKS\,1830$-$211.  We derived their molecular column densities
and rotational temperatures, as well as those of three more
species that were detected for the first time in this source
(Section\,\ref{results}). In light of the new
identifications, we discuss the implications for the prevailing
chemistry in the source (Section\,\ref{dis}).

\section{Observations and data reduction}
\label{obs}

The observations began in April 2019 with the 40\,m diameter Yebes
radio telescope\footnote{\texttt{http://rt40m.oan.es/rt40m$\_$en.php}}, just after
the recent enhancement of the blazar radio flux \citep{Buson2019,Iacolina2019}.
They consisted in monitoring the continuum
flux and absorption line profiles in the course of commissioning
the new 7\,mm receiver (F. Tercero et al. in preparation). The
telescope \citep{deVicente2016} is located at 990\,m of altitude near
Guadalajara, Spain.

The Q band (7\,mm) HEMT receiver allows for simultaneous broad-band
observations in two linear polarisations. It is connected to 16 fast
Fourier transform spectrometers (FFTS), each covering 2.5\,GHz with a
38\,kHz channel separation. In each polarisation, this system provides an instantaneous band of 18\,GHz between 31.5\,GHz and 50\,GHz.

The 7\,mm spectra shown in this paper are the average of 12 observing
sessions, which were carried out between April 2019 and September 2019.  Due to
the low declination of the source, it could only be observed for 5 hours per day
above 15$^{\circ}$ elevation (the telescope latitude is
$+$40$^{\circ}$\,31$'$\,29.6$''$). The intensity scale was calibrated
using two absorbers at different temperatures and the atmospheric
transmission model (ATM, \citealt{Cernicharo1985, Pardo2001}).

In addition, we carried out three observing sessions at 1.3\,cm
with the K band receiver on
May 29 and 30 as well as June 2.  The goal of those observations was to confirm the
identification of C$_3$H$^+$ by observing a third rotational
transition. The covered band extended from 23.7\,GHz to 24.2\,GHz,
and the channel spacing was 30\,kHz.
For these data, the intensity
scale was calibrated using a noise diode and the ATM model.

The observational procedure was position switching with the
reference position located $-$240$''$ away in azimuth. The telescope
pointing and focus were checked every one to two hours through
pseudo-continuum observations of VX\,Sgr, a red hypergiant star close
to the target source. VX\,Sgr shows strong SiO $v$\,=\,1
$J$\,=\,1$-$0 (at 43.122\,GHz) and H$_2$O
$J_{K_a,K_c}$\,=\,6$_{1,6}$$-$5$_{2,3}$ (at 22.235\,GHz) maser
emission.
Pseudo-continuum observations consist in subtracting
the summed spectral emission from the masers from the rest
of the spectrum, while performing pointing azimuth-elevation cross drifts or a focus
scan. This is a useful technique since atmospheric emissivity fluctuations during the scans
have a small influence on the results and provide very flat continuum baselines.
In addition, we regularly checked the pointing towards the blazar
PKS\,1830$-$211 itself (coordinates \mbox{$\upalpha_{\rm
J2000}$\,=\,18$^{\rm h}$\,33$^{\rm m}$\,39.9$^{\rm s}$},
\mbox{$\updelta_{\rm J2000}$\,=\,$-$21$^{\circ}$\,03$'$\,39.6$''$}),
whose flux (NE\,+\,SW images) was $\simeq$\,10\,Jy at intermediate frequencies of the 7\,mm band.
The pointing errors were always found $<5''$ on both axes.  In order
to confirm that no spurious signals were contaminating our spectra,
the frequency of the local oscillator was changed by 20\,MHz
from one observing session to the next.

The data were reduced using the \texttt{CLASS} software of the
\texttt{GILDAS}
package\footnote{\texttt{http://www.iram.fr/IRAMFR/GILDAS/}}.  A
polynomial baseline of low order (typically second or third order) was
removed from the spectrum obtained for each session. All sessions were then
averaged together. In this paper, we adopt $z$\,=\,0.885875
($v_0$\,=\,0\,km\,s$^{-1}$ in the local standard of rest, LSR) to
convert the observed frequencies to rest-frame frequencies.
For each observed frequency, Table\,\ref{table_telescope} lists the
telescope aperture efficiency ($\eta_{\rm A}$), the conversion factor
between flux ($S$) and antenna temperature ($T_{\rm A}^*$), the half power
beam width (HPBW), the system temperature ($T_{\rm sys}$), the integration
time, and the noise root mean square (rms).

\section{Continuum emission}
\label{cont}

The intensity scales of the spectra shown in this Letter were
normalised to the total (NE\,+\,SW) continuum intensity of the source. The latter
varies with frequency as indicated (in $T_A^*$ scale) in
Table\,\ref{table_telescope}. The molecular lines presented in this
article all appear in absorption against the SW image (the NE image
absorption, which is much weaker, appears at markedly different
velocities).  In order to derive the line opacities, we had to
determine the contribution of the SW image to the total continuum flux
detected by the telescope. This can be done by assuming that the
HCO$^+$ and HCN ($J=1-0$) line absorption (see Fig.\,\ref{fig_hcn_hco})
is at its total at velocities near $v_0=0$\,km\,s$^{-1}$, which corresponds to
the arm located in front of the SW source. This assumption, which was already
discussed by \citet{Muller2008} for the $J=2-1$ lines, is supported by
the obvious saturation of the flattened absorption profiles and by the
near-stability of the saturation level despite strong blazar intensity
variations.

\citet{Muller2008} measured a roughly constant flux ratio of the NE to
SW components, $R$\,$\sim$\,1.7, over several observations between
1995 and 2007 at 3\,mm. This value is similar to that obtained by
\citet{Subrahmanyan1990} at the centimetre wavelengths. Using ATCA data from 2011, \citet{Muller2013} derived an $R$ of $\sim$1.5 at 3\,mm and
7\,mm.  Following the strategy of \citet{Muller2008}, we estimated the
NE/SW flux ratio using the  $J=1-0$ HCO$^+$ and HCN
lines. As these saturated lines
absorb 45\,\% of the total flux, the NE component (with the
residual emission of the faint Einstein ring) has to contribute 55\,\%
to the total flux. We obtain a rather constant value of
$R$\,$\sim$\,1.2 over the period from April to September 2019 (see
Fig.\,\ref{fig_hcn_hco}).  This value is close to that measured by
\citet{Muller2014a} at 250\,GHz and 290\,GHz from ALMA data from April 9 and 11, 2012, respectively, just before a
gamma-ray flare. It is, however, significantly lower than in
most of the other measurements at millimetre and submillimetre
wavelengths (see also \citealt{Marti2019}).\ This is perhaps due to a conjunction
between the blazar flux variations and the four-week delay between the
NE and SW light paths. These flux variations are thought to be
associated with plasmon ejections along the precessing jet of the
blazar \citep{Nair2005,Muller2008}.

For the first time, we detected
CH$_3$SH, C$_3$H$^+$, C$_3$N, HCOOH, CH$_2$CHCN, and H$_2$CN in an extragalactic source and identified the following three more
species, also for the first time, towards PKS\,1830$-$211: OCS, SO$_2$, and NH$_2$CN.
All of those species have been detected in absorption towards the SW spiral arm of the $z$\,=\,0.89
galaxy in front of the blazar. Figure\,\ref{fig_lines} shows these detections. For each species, Table\,\ref{Table_dipole_moments}
lists its dipole moment and derived properties.

A single Gaussian profile was fitted to the strongest
component of all detected lines to obtain the observational line parameters: radial velocities ($v_{\rm 0}$), full width at half maximum (FWHM) line widths ($v_{\rm FWHM}$),
and absorption intensities ($I_{\rm \nu}$) measured from the unity on the normalised spectrum to the total (SW\,+\,NW) continuum level (see Sect.\,\ref{cont}). Then,
optical depths ($\tau_{\rm \nu}$) towards the SW line of sight were directly derived according to

\begin{equation}
\tau_{\rm \nu} = -{\rm ln} \left(1 - \frac{I_{\rm \nu}}{0.45}\right)
\label{eq_tau}
,\end{equation}
assuming an SW source covering factor of unity (see e.g. \citealt{Muller2008} and \citealt{Muller2011}; these references
also address a more general discussion regarding how to obtain optical depths of absorbing lines in this source).
This assumption does not introduce major uncertainties since \citet{Muller2014a},
using ALMA observations, conclude that the size of the SW continuum image is only 5\,$-$\,10\,\%
larger than the size of the absorbing gas at millimetre and submillimetre wavelengths.
These results, together with the spectroscopic parameters of the involved transitions are shown in Tables\,\ref{Table_CH3SH}\,$-$\,\ref{Table_NH2CN}.
We note that while the derived radial velocities are in agreement with
previous observations at 7\,mm towards the SW line of sight \citep{Muller2011,Muller2013},
most of the line widths of
the molecular lines in our data are in a range
between 5\,$-$10\,km\,s$^{-1}$. Our absorbing molecular lines
are narrower than those of these previous works by a factor of 2.
Narrower lines
may indicate either lower optical depths or different clouds intercepting the
line of sight. This variation could result from
the appearance or disappearance of discrete components in the
background continuum source \citep{Muller2008}.

As we detected several rotational transitions for many species,
we estimated their rotational temperatures ($T_{\rm rot}$)
and molecular column densities ($N$) by drawing
rotational diagrams.
The analysis assumes the Rayleigh-Jeans approximation, optically thin lines,
and local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE). In Appendix\,\ref{appendix_dr},
we describe this method and the diagrams relative to this work (Fig.\,\ref{fig_DR}).
The resulting $T_{\rm rot}$ and $N$ are given in Table\,\ref{Table_dipole_moments}.

We note that the $T_{\rm rot}$ obtained for C$_3$H$^+$, C$_3$N, and HCOOH is close
to the temperature of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) at
$z$\,=\,0.89 ($T_{\rm CMB}$\,=\,5.08\,$\pm$\,0.10\,K,
\citealt{Muller2013}).  This result was already noted in previous
surveys
\citep{Combes1999,Menten1999,Henkel2009,Muller2011,Muller2013}.  It
implies an excitation dominated by radiative coupling with the CMB
since the gas kinetic temperature in the SW source is found from
NH$_3$ lines that are much higher ($\sim$80\,K, according to
\citealt{Henkel2008}).  It also means that the bulk of the gas has a
moderate or low density: $\leq 10^3$\,cm$^{-3}$ (e.g. \citealt{Henkel2009,Muller2013}).

It is important to note that CH$_2$CHCN, OCS, and SO$_2$ have a somewhat higher $T_{\rm rot}$
(8\,$-$\,10\,K).\ This suggests that either the observed lines arise in the denser parts
of the absorbing clouds or these molecules present
lower critical densities than those of C$_3$H$^+$, C$_3$N, and HCOOH, which are, therefore, more sensitive to collisions.

The case is more extreme for NH$_2$CN for which we find $T_{\rm
rot}=30$\,K.  Interestingly enough, the lines pertaining to the two
different $K_{\rm a}$ ladders of that latter species merge into a
single straight line in the rotational diagram after correcting for the
different statistical weights. This is typical of asymmetric top
molecules in dense environments (see Appendix\,\ref{appendix_dr}).
As we mention above, these results may indicate that either
NH$_2$CN traces a denser and hotter component of the absorbing gas
or a surprisingly low critical density for this species.

To confirm the line identifications, we produced synthetic spectra of
the putative species using the \texttt{MADEX} tool
\citep{Cernicharo2012}.  For this, we assumed LTE approximation and
adopted the $T_{\rm rot}$ and $N$ values derived from the rotational
diagrams.  In the cases of CH$_3$SH and H$_2$CN, for which we do not have enough lines to draw a rotational diagram, we fixed $T_{\rm rot}$ to
5\,K and varied $N$ until we obtained a reasonable fit to the line profiles. The
$T_{\rm rot}$ and $N$ values as well as the fitted $v_{\rm 0}$ and $v_{\rm FWHM}$ for all
species are shown in Table\,\ref{Table_dipole_moments}.  Since
\texttt{MADEX} computes the line opacities
in the absence
of a continuum background source ($\tau_{\rm \nu}$), we derived the line absorption profile
against the SW continuum image, normalised to the total (NE\,+\,SW) continuum emission by
re-arranging Eq.\,\ref{eq_tau} to obtain $I_{\rm \nu}$.
We note that the absorption by the SW spiral arm occurs at velocities of $0\pm 50$ km\,s$^{-1}$, which are quite different from those
caused by the NE arm around $-$140 km\,s$^{-1}$, and that no absorption is detected at the latter velocity for the nine
species considered here.
The resulting synthetic spectrum is overlaid over the observed lines in Fig.\,\ref{fig_lines}.
This simple model reproduces the observed lines.
The model also allows us to distinguish an additional component for C$_3$H$^{+}$ and
H$_2$CN between 0\,km\,s$^{-1}$ and 10\,km\,s$^{-1}$ that was not taken into account in our model. This component is also
seen in the lowest energy lines of CH$_3$SH and CH$_2$CHCN.
However, the weakness of this component in the mentioned lines
prevents us from further evaluating its properties.

\section{Discussion}
\label{dis}
This work
expands the inventory of extragalactic species, particularly
in the SW line of sight towards PKS\,1830$-$211
with the detection of nine new species.
With these new species, the number of molecular species towards
the SW line of sight of PKS\,1830$-$211 raises to more than 50.

The sample of molecules detected here
points to a large diversity in molecular environments:
\begin{enumerate}
\item
Carbon
chains (C$_3$N) and ion-molecule gas phase-produced $-$CN species
(H$_2$CN and CH$_2$CHCN) have been detected in dense
($\sim$10$^4$\,cm$^{-3}$) and cold ($T_{\rm K}$\,$\sim$\,10\,K)
prestellar cores \citep{Ohishi1994,Kaifu2004} of our Galaxy.
\item
CH$_3$SH and NH$_2$CN have only been detected towards hot cores
in high-mass star-forming regions
\citep{Turner1975,Linke1979,Kolesnikova2014} and low-mass protostars
\citep{Cernicharo2012b,Majumdar2016,Coutens2018}.
NH$_2$CN has also been detected in the starburst galaxies M32 and NGC253 \citep{Martin2006,Aladro2011}.
Besides prestellar cores, CH$_2$CHCN is an abundant species in hot cores \citep{Belloche2013,Lopez2014}.
\item
Although OCS, SO$_2$, and HCOOH have been detected in a large variety of environments, these molecules usually trace
hot and shocked gas in star forming regions \citep{Tercero2010,Esplugues2013,Tercero2018} .
\item
C$_3$H$^+$ traces
the edge of dense molecular clouds illuminated by UV radiation. In our Galaxy,
this species has only been unambiguously detected towards the Horsehead and the Orion Bar \citep{Pety_2012,McGuire2014,Cuadrado2015},
which are two well known photodissociation regions (PDRs).
After the first detection of C$_3$H$^+$ towards the Horsehead \citep{Pety_2012},
\citet{McGuire2013} tentatively detected C$_3$H$^+$ via absorption lines ($J$\,=1$-$0, 2$-$1) in diffuse,
spiral arm clouds along the line of sight to Sgr\,B2(N).
These authors \citep{McGuire2014}, using the CSO telescope
operating at 1\,mm, conducted a further search for C$_3$H$^+$ towards 39 galactic sources including
hot cores, evolved stars, dark clouds, class 0 objects, PDRs, HII regions, outflows, and translucent clouds.
Interestingly, they only detected this species towards the Orion Bar, a prototypical
high-UV flux, hot PDR, with a far-UV radiation field of a few 10$^4$ times the mean interstellar
field (see \citealt{Cuadrado2015} and references therein). It is possible that
the negative results of \citet{McGuire2014} towards translucent clouds were due to a bias introduced by
the high energies of the searched transitions ($E_{\rm u}$/$k_{\rm B}$\,$>$\,50\,K). Although the gas in PDRs is also
subthermally excited, these regions are usually hotter and denser ($T_{\rm K}$\,$\sim$\,150\,K and $n$(H$_{2}$)\,$\sim$\,10$^5$\,cm$^{-3}$
for the Orion Bar, see \citealt{Cuadrado2015}) than translucent clouds,
allowing for the excitation of more energetic transitions.

\end{enumerate}

A large variety of conditions coexist in sources such as SgrB2, and absorption
measurements against a bright and hot continuum source are a powerful way of revealing all types of clouds.
As we mention in Sect.\,\ref{results}, the gas intercepting the SW line of sight at $v_{\rm 0}$\,$\sim$\,0\,km\,s$^{-1}$ mostly
consists of translucent clouds with a moderate density (10$^3$\,cm\,$^{-3}$) and
with a kinetic temperature of $\sim$80\,K \citep{Henkel2009,Muller2013}.
The wide detection of cations towards the SW line of sight \citep{Muller2014b,Muller2015,Muller2016a,Muller2016b,Muller2017} indicates
that non-thermal mechanisms, such as high UV or X-ray illumination of the gas or shocks, dominate
the chemistry of this region.
The previous tentative detection of C$_3$H$^+$ in diffuse spiral arm clouds towards Sgr\,B2(N)
and its detection towards PKS\,1830$-$211
suggests that translucent clouds may produce this cation in significant abundances.
The gas-phase production of C$_3$H$^+$ via C$_2$H$_2$\,+\,C$^+$
competes with its destruction pathway via H$_2$ leading to small hydrocarbons \citep{Pety_2012}.
To observe detectable abundances of C$_3$H$^+$, the UV-radiation field should be greatly enhanced relative
to the mean interstellar value to produce sufficient C$^+$.
The detection of C$_3$H$^+$ towards the translucent clouds intercepting the SW line of sight of PKS\,1830$-$211
indicates the large average UV-field in this medium.

It is worth noting that many COMs in our Galaxy have been detected, for the first time,
in absorption and in the centimetre domain
pointing towards the hot cores of Sgr\,B2 (see e.g. CH$_2$CHCHO, CH$_3$CH$_2$CHO, CH$_2$OHCHO,
c-H$_2$C$_3$O, CH$_3$CONH$_2$, CH$_3$CHNHO, HNCHCN, and CH$_3$CHCH$_2$O;
\citealt{Hollis2004a,Hollis2004b,Hollis2006a,Hollis2006b,Loomis2013,Zaleski2013,McGuire2016}).
These detections via absorption lines indicate that these species are associated with
the moderate dense ($n$(H$_2$)\,$\sim$\,10$^3$\,$-$\,10$^4$\,cm$^{-3}$)
and warm ($T_{\rm K}$\,$\simeq$\,100\,$-$\,300\,K) envelope of Sgr\,B2.
This envelope around the hot cores near the galactic centre also consists of a subthermally excited
molecular gas \citep{Huettemeister1995,deVicente1997,Jones2008,Etxaluze2013}.
This suggests that both the heating of this envelope and the production of these complex species
might be mainly related to
non-thermal processes, such as shocks
or an enhanced UV or X-ray flux in the surrounding medium.
Thus, we may consider that similar mechanisms may produce the diversity of
molecular species detected towards the translucent clouds in the SW line of
sight towards PKS\,1830$-$211.

Federal Prosecutors Relaunch Political Crimes Unit in OC
by Voice of OC Jun 15, 2010 Updated Jul 9, 2021 Why you can trust Voice of OC
The U.S. attorney's office is back into the political crimes business in Orange County and elsewhere in Southern California, reports Los Angeles Times veteran investigative reporter Scott Glover, who broke the story this weekend after getting his hands on a confidential staff memo from U.S. Attorney Andre Birotte Jr.
The lack of political investigations in Orange County by the district attorney's office has garnered attention throughout the political community in recent years. District attorney's office officials say that a 1996 court decision severely limits their ability to look into political crimes.
A similar unit in the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Central District of California — which includes Orange, Los Angeles, Riverside, San Bernardino, Ventura, Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties — that was supposed to investigate such cases, including politicians and police officers accused of crimes, was disbanded two years ago by former U.S. Attorney Thomas P. O'Brien.
Earlier this year, the issue blew into the public discourse when a union leader publicly accused Assessor Webster Guillory of criminal wrongdoing in front of the county Board of Supervisors. District attorney's office officials complained about the approach, and the union leader acknowledged that there is doubt about the district attorney investigating politicians.
After a month-long review, the district attorney cleared the assessor and criticized Orange County Employees Association General Manager Nick Berardino for voicing the allegations publicly.
The Times' June 12 story said Birotte wrote in a memo to his staff that "the public needs to be able to rely on federal law enforcement to act as a watchdog for public institutions and the individuals who hold positions of trust in those organizations."
The U.S. attorney's office prosecutes federal crimes and can prosecute state offenses if local officials are unable or unwilling to act. In the past, they've handled numerous civil rights cases when local officials refused to prosecute. In the 1970s and '80s, they worked closely with the Orange County district attorney's office on a series of political bribery, campaign money laundering, and federal income tax and Medicare embezzlement cases involving prominent state political figures and local elected leaders.
Last year, the U.S. attorney's office convicted former Orange County Sheriff Mike Carona of witness tampering. Carona was acquitted of more criminal counts in the case.
And in interviews after the trial, jurors said that they believed Carona had illegally accepted cash and gifts but that they were stymied by a statute of limitations that allowed them to consider only acts committed after late October 2002.
Yet since that time, prosecutors in the U.S. attorney's office have themselves come under fire in a slew of cases for what some judges called unethical behavior by prosecutors.

Supplementary MaterialsTable_1
March 6, 2021 Marshall Meyer
Supplementary MaterialsTable_1. was able to significantly inhibit yeast cell growth, filamentation and biofilm formation of C the most extensively studied human fungal pathogen. Moreover, we observed a broad-spectrum antifungal activity of this compound against fluconazole resistant clinical isolates Goat Polyclonal to Mouse IgG of a wide range of other clinically relevant fungal pathogens. Intriguingly, robenidine-treated cells were hypersensitive to diverse cell wall stressors, and analysis of the cell wall structure by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) showed that the cell wall was severely damaged by robenidine, implying that this compound may target the cell wall integrity signaling pathway. Indeed, upon robenidine treatment, we found a dose dependent increase in the phosphorylation of the cell wall integrity marker Mkc1, which was decreased after prolonged exposure. Finally, we provide evidence by RNA-seq and qPCR that Rlm1, the downstream transcription factor of Mkc1, may represent a potential target of robenidine. Therefore, our data suggest that robenidine, a FDA approved anti-coccidiosis drug, displays a promising and broadly effective antifungal strategy, and represents a repositionable candidate for the treating fungal attacks potentially. is the most regularly isolated human being fungal pathogen within the center (Martin et al., 2003; Zaoutis et al., 2005; Diekema and Pfaller, 2007). The mortality price of bloodstream attacks caused by can be 40C70% (Wenzel, 1995), in severely immunocompromised individuals specifically. The AC-4-130 prevailing arsenal of antifungals to take care of these life-threatening attacks is quite limited, with some therapeutics exhibiting a slim spectral range of activity, and/or serious side-effects (Pina-Vaz et al., 2004). Additionally, the introduction of antifungal-resistant fungal isolates can be an raising concern (Butler and Buss, 2006; Lam, 2007). Consequently, identifying fresh antifungals medicines and their focuses on represents an immediate want in the field. Presently, three main classes of antifungals are accustomed to treat fungal attacks: polyenes, echinocandins, and azoles. The polyene amphotericin B binds to ergosterol in fungal cell membrane and escalates the permeability of cell membrane, which outcomes in leakage of electrolytes, proteins, and other essential substances within the cytoplasm, resulting in cell loss of life (Utz, 1964). Nevertheless, the serious side-effects, nephrotoxicity especially, connected with amphotericin B limitations its clinical software. The echinocandin caspofungin inhibits the formation of -(1,3)-D-glucan, which outcomes in an irregular cell wall structure structure, cell wall structure disruption, leakage of essential substances, and fungal cell loss of life eventually. However, caspofungin can be badly consumed and may just become given intravenously at a price orally, which may be associated with adverse reactions such as fever, local phlebitis, headache and histamine-like reactions (Neoh et al., 2018). The azole fluconazole is the most widely used antifungal drug; it reduces ergosterol synthesis in fungal cells by selectively inhibiting the activity of C14–demethylase, which ultimately inhibits fungal cell growth (Xu et al., 2008). The over-use of antifungals has contributed to the emergence of drug-resistant strains of is also able to tolerate antifungal drug treatment through the formation of biofilms. Biofilms are complex communities of bacteria or fungi, aggregated on biological or abiotic surfaces, and surrounded by extracellular secretions. Biofilm formation occurs in predictable stages, including initial cellular adhesion, biofilm initiation, maturation, detachment, and diffusion. Biofilm formation can enhance a microorganisms ability to survive host immune attacks and tolerate treatment with antimicrobial drugs (Nobile et al., 2012). Most infections are associated with biofilm formation, which leads to high morbidity and mortality rates (Nobile and Johnson, 2015; Lohse et al., 2018). biofilms are comprised of cells of different cellular morphologies: candida, hyphae, and pseudohyphae. These fungal cells AC-4-130 are encircled by a protecting extracellular matrix, which plays a part in level of resistance to antifungal therapy. Furthermore, the forming of biofilms can guard against killing from the host disease fighting capability (Kuhn et al., 2002). The fungal cell wall structure is crucial for keeping cell morphology, and avoiding different environmental stressors like the host disease fighting capability (Mouyna et al., 2000; Rolli et al., 2009). In cells had been retrieved in YPD moderate (1% candida extract, 2% peptone, and 2% blood sugar) and expanded for 24 h at 30C. Development Curve Assay Cells expanded over night in YPD moderate AC-4-130 were cleaned in PBS and diluted for an OD600 of 0.2 in 200 l moderate in AC-4-130 flat-bottomed 96-well dish. The OD600 was acquired every 15 min in BioTek dish audience at 30C. The typical deviation (SD) of a minimum of three specialized replicates were determined and graphed in Graphpad Prism Software program. Growth during medication publicity was assayed in YPD moderate. The automobile for Robenidine (T2549; TargetMol) was DMSO. Fluconazole (HY-B0101; MCE) was utilized as a confident control. All sections shown represent a minimum of three natural replicates.

Transform your BMW 3-series into an M3 lookalike with a body kit by German tuning firm Prior Design.
True to form, the Kamp-Lintfot based tuner has come up with a widebody kit to fit the BMW 3-Series E90, uplifting its appearance to one closer mimicking the M3. Prior Design's Widebody kit will fit all models in the series (M3 aside) and is complete with a redesigned front bumper, side skirts, front fenders, rear apron, and a brand new bonnet; naturally, the side mirrors have also been crafted in the mold of the iconic M3.
To complete the aggressive facade the tuning firm has come up with flared wheel arches and a redesigned trunk lid & integrated rear spoiler. As the standard 3-Series is somewhat lacking in excitement from a design perspective, this is a particularly useful kit, especially given there is a choice of wheels. For the moment, however, no pricing announcement has been made, so you'll have to sit tight before deciding whether the investment is one you deem worthwhile.

Same crazy here!!! we avoided the whole pmi by getting one of the 80/20 two loan mortgages. the second loan was cheaper than the PMI would have been. Same bank 3 yrs later when we moved didn't offer them anymore.
unless they are actually packing your stuff or have to walk a few blocks to the truck it will be less than 2hrs.
I have 1 giftcard and something for mr snick left to buy.
need to schedule my annual holiday cookie baking day soon before my schedule fills up.
use that you your advantage. do your online research about pricing/options then play them off each other. you can almost literally walk to the next one.
What are you/your kids being for Halloween this year?
we have a witch and antman again, the costumes still fit from last year!!!
i don't find the haunting of hill house all that scary...there are some startling moments but not scary.
Got a new TV this weekend, our old one finally crapped out. Had been tempermental about how it was turned on and finally stopped turning on. Mr snick changed our netflix password too, so I am in the same boat as mini csb.
netflix already dropped a lot of the disney stuff. we are using netflix an amazon about equally right now for shows...or at tleast the kiddos are. THey know which service their fav shows are on. I am more of a netflix person. currently in the middle of a documentary about castles in ireland, britian, scotland and their history.
we need to replace our shower head or the very least reseat it with new teflon tape. It drips...but it is also an older shower head.
I could use one of those too!!!!

Otterbein's Center for Career Planning offers these tips for dressing professionally. You could use these tips for a client meeting, an interview, and/or the job.
Select a skirted suit, pantsuit or a conservatively tailored dress that draws the eye to your face.
For a more business casual look, then select a solid color skirt or slacks with a matching blouse or sweater, or a solid color dress.
Skirts are traditionally knee-length but those slightly shorter or longer are also acceptable.
Select blouses or sweaters that provide visual interest, but avoid transparent fabrics, tight fit, low necklines, revealing waistlines or details that detract from your face as a focal point. Typically, arms are covered at least to the biceps and often to the wrist.
If you are going to wear pantyhose to an interview, then you should wear a plain-style, nonpatterned hosiery and select colors that flatter your coloring. For traditional industries, wear a neutral color. For other industries, you may choose to wear hose that coordinate with your skirt. Carry an extra pair in case of runs.
Other choices include a coordinated outfit, tailored jacket, or sweater set.
Wear hard-soled shoes with closed toes and closed heels.
Open-toed shoes are associated with social agendas and should be avoided in a work setting.
Wear flat shoes or low pumps in colors that avoid making your feet a focal point. Be sure that they are clean and polished.
Avoid shoes that hinder walking fast, which lowers credibility.
A 2" to 3" heal is considered more professional dress while flats tend to lean more to business casual.
Use natural-looking makeup and clear nail polish to keep the focus on the interview.
Add accessories to express your personality and accentuate your best features. A scarf or necklace is an effective way to focus on your face. Keep it simple!
Do not carry a purse with a briefcase. Choose one or the other.
Wear no more than one ring per hand and only one dress watch.
Wear a matching suit in navy, black or gray (pinstripe or solid) or wear a navy blazer and gray dress slacks. They serve as a visual background that draws the eye to the face.
Khaki pants and a long sleeve collared shirt or sweater provide a more business casual look. Golf shirts or polo shirts are acceptable in very casual settings.
Wear white or a light blue dress shirt that contrasts with the jacket and/or tie. Typically, arms should be covered to the wrist. Exposing arms by rolling up your sleeves is interpreted as less powerful and is less formal.
A full-length coat can be worn over your suit;. Avoid casual coats.
Socks should be calf-length or above the calf. Choose natural-fiber blends that allow a flow of air and do not hold in perspiration and heat. Choose colors such as dark blue, black or gray.
A (silk or silk-like) tie should coordinate with the jacket and pants but choose one that strongly contrasts with the color of your shirt; selecting subtle or simple patterns enhances credibility.
Select lace-up or slip-on dress shoes. The color should be dark or blend with pants.
A short hair cut and no facial hair is usually expected, especially in more conservative industries.
A briefcase is part of the visual effect; consider a simple portfolio as an effective substitute, and try to select a color that supports your visual effect.
Minimize jewelry. Avoid necklaces and earrings for the interview. Wear no more than one ring per hand and a dress watch.
Select a leather belt that visually blends or matches your shoe.

While everyone gets excited over the release of new iPhones, those don't come around nearly as often as iOS updates. And when you think about it, the software update is sometimes even better.
Sure every now and then the phone comes packed with a larger screen, slightly better camera or some other nifty upgrade, but when the iOS gets improved, we get features without having to buy a new phone.
With that in mind, those of us who were anxiously waiting for Apple's newest iOS update, 11.4, are in luck. It has finally been released, and it comes with some good stuff.
Not all iOS updates are created equal, and much of the time they end up doing more to fix bugs than significantly upgrade our features. When it comes to iOS 11.4, we get a little of both.
Among its fixes, it resolves an issue that caused some messages to appear out of order, as well as one that at times prevented people from logging in or accessing files on Google Drive, Docs and Gmail in Safari. It also corrected a bug that could prevent data syncing in Health, and fixed a problem that caused CarPlay audio to become distorted.
It also fixes an issue where certain characters caused Messages to crash, and resolved a problem that could cause an app to appear in the wrong spot on the Home screen.
But that's all about the stuff that is supposed to work and didn't. While we appreciate it, what's fun is the new features. There are three main ones in this update.
With this update, you can now store your messages, photos and other attachments in iCloud. Not only will this free up space on your phone, but all of it -- including messages -- will appear when you sign into a new device under the same iMessage account.
Along with that, when you delete messages and conversations from one device they will be removed from all others.
With iOS 11.4, you will be able to control your home audio system and AirPlay 2-enabled speakers throughout the house, play music at the same time on multiple AirPlay 2-enabled speakers in the house and control the speakers from the iOS Control Center.
You will also be able to control your AirPlay 2-enabled speakers through Siri and be able to take a call or play a game on your iPhone or iPad without interrupting what is being played back on the speakers.
If you jumped on the opportunity to grab Apple's entry into the home assistant/speaker market, iOS 11.4 is an even better update for you. It supports setting up your HomePod stereo pair using your iPad or iPhone, while the HomePod pair will automatically sense its location in the room. It will balance the sound based on where the speakers are located.
The update also provides advanced beamforming, which will provide a wider soundstage than a traditional stereo pair, as well as an ability to automatically update in order to support stereo pairs. That is, unless audio updates are disabled in the Home app.
Ready to download the update?
If all that sounds good to you, or if you are the kind of person who updates whenever the opportunity arises, then you're ready to start your download.
In order to do so, take your iOS device and go to Settings >> General >> Software Update before tapping on the box to start the download. You will want to make sure your phone is connected to a Wi-Fi network at the time and also has a good amount of battery left.
You can also connect your iPhone to a computer that has iTunes, though that method is slower and more clunky.

Exclusive Premiere: Watch ANNIKA's New Video for "I Really Don't Want To"
Filed Under Annika, Calgary, Country Music, Exclusive, Indie, Premiere
Emerging Calgary-based country artist ANNIKA is back with her new video for "I Really Don't Want To", which you can watch exclusively via Aesthetic Magazine below.
"I Really Don't Want To has a message that hits home for me as someone that has a history of falling in love, completely unafraid and uninhibited every time even though I knew heartbreak was likely around the corner," says ANNIKA. "After so many breakups, I got used to picking myself back up and carrying on without resentment or a jaded attitude towards love. The bluesy, soulful sound of the song is uplifting in nature, making it a great tune to jam out to on the piano and I loved that while recording, I could really let loose on the vocals."
ANNIKA is taking a new musical direction since moving on from the CCMA-nominated country-pop duo Leaving Thomas. The duo accumulated over 6 million career streams and was nominated for multiple CCMA Awards.
Set to release her first full-length solo album in the coming months, ANNIKA is ready to showcase a more mature, introspective side, highlighting her talents as a musician, song writer and specifically a piano player. ANNIKA has co-written over 100 songs to date with Nashville heavy hitters such as Carolyn Dawn Johnson, Phil Barton, Brian White, Patricia Conroy, and most famously, Liz Rose, and has performed at incredible venues with Leaving Thomas such as Boots and Hearts, Country Thunder, Calgary Stampede, Rockin' River Fest, and many more.

Second Place | Encounter. Encourage. Engage.
Respect is a fragile thing. We all, at some level, want the respect of others. We want to be valued for our abilities or our accomplishments. We feel good when others offer deference or compliments because of the wisdom or character they value in us.
When we attempt to gain respect and are able to do so, then the overwhelming challenge of maintaining it takes center stage in our performance focus. If the number and diversity of people who might offer us the respect we seek grows, then our efforts to maintain our position in the eyes of many is a juggling act not likely to last forever.
Sooner or later, we drop the ball. Our human condition breaks through and the ability to maintain or exceed our peaks of performance is exhausted. Then relationships can be damaged from the disappointments and individual confidence takes a hit which could affect the entire house of cards built around our best efforts to succeed.
There is only one form of performance or leadership that is worthy of respect and sustainable beyond our excellence (or lack of). The only sustainable vehicle for a position of recognition is submission and service. Only when we choose to serve others for their benefit and not for our own gain will we enjoy the Peace of our position.
It's upside down and backwards from what it is usually made out to be. The least does become the greatest and the greatest will become the least. To give up the striving towards position and accomplishment for the rest of second place is a Life multiplier. When we allow Life to be multiplied through us, we are restored and refreshed for continued multiplication.

Riverside Middle School boys and girls basketball teams dealt a double whammy to Thompson MS of Newport on Tuesday, January 10th. The boys picked up their 2nd win of the season with a 63-46 victory over Thompson. The boys used the hot shooting of Aidan Martins' 17 first half points to take a 29-20 halftime lead. "Our guys showed some tough rebounding and physical inside play, especially by Jayden Fernandez and John Wooten," said RMS Head Coach Scott Breault. "We were able to stretch the lead to 20, and free throws down the stretch by Martins and Jacob Stover sealed the victory." Aidan Martins had a game high 30 points and Jacob Stover joined him in double figures with 12. Rounding out the scoring was Jayden Fernandes 8 points, JJ Renaud's 5 points, John Wooten's 4 points. Eamonn Reddy and Parker Andrews each tossed in a basket in the winning cause. Every time Thompson made a run at the Vikings, once closing the gap to 10 points, RMS would toughen their defense and hit a few critical shots. "Martin's 30 points certainly kept Thompson at bay." The RMS boys play Gaudet MS in Middletown on Tuesday, January 17th.

The RMS girls basketball team also defeated Thompson, but in a tight game. The game went into double overtime on Tuesday in Middletown with the Vikings grabbing a 40-33 win. The girls improve their record to 3-2, as they move into the second half of their season. Zarae Hall led the scoring with 15, while Jamie Andrews contributed 11. Shelby Quinn and Lailah Valles each had 7, while Abby Raphael's and Genna Dos Santos defense changed the game down the stretch. The girls play again on Tuesday, January 17th at home vs. Gaudet MS.
EPHS Gymnastics making a Comeback! And they look good!
Casey Rapp, Head coach and Victoria Lombardi, assistant coach are in the second year of an effort to bring back gymnastics to EPHS. The school has not had a program for quite a while. Without enough players the Townies formed a co-op team with Rogers High of Newport. Co-op teams are being seen more and more in Rhode Island in certain sports like ice-hockey and gymnastics. EPHS also has a co-op hockey team with Hope High.
"We are a co-op team in our second year as a program, and we are working hard to grow the team and spread the word to recruit more athletes. Currently our team has only 7 members" said coach Rapp. In a recent weekend tourney, they placed 3rd and 4th. "The team is working hard." Team captains are senior Makena Petsch (EP) and senior Brettyn Newsome (Rogers). Both compete all around.
EPHS Indoor Track & Field
According to the EPHS Herd, the Townies indoor track & field team split their latest dual meet defeating Moses Brown and losing to Lasalle Academy. During the meet Kitwanna Ruddock ran the third fastest time in the state in the 300 meter and the fifth fastest time in the state in the 55 meter. Dylan Slavick jumped the third highest height in the state this year in the high jump. Emmanuel Kanger won the weight throw with a personal best throw.

Couple who were 'married twice' on the same day celebrate 50 years together
David and Brenda Morris had their wedding 'in reverse' after a mix-up with the registrar
When newlyweds David and Brenda Morris stepped out of the church as the organ rang out the Wedding March, they announced to their guests: "We're not really married."
Missing from the service at Prestatyn's Seion Welsh Congregational Church was the one person they needed to make them officially man and wife - the registrar.
It was 1968 when a then 24-year-old Brenda gave a new meaning to the term "blushing bride," as she arrived to find panic was breaking out.
After a long delay and Brenda being sent around the block several times in the wedding car, minister of the church, Rev Brython Davies decided to make a start in the registrar's absence - announcing they would be married in the eyes of God, but not in the eyes of the law.

So the pair said their 'I dos' and had confetti thrown at them and wedding photographs taken - even though they weren't technically husband and wife.
They then sent their 150 guests to their wedding reception while they stayed behind and waited for another registrar to turn up to marry them again.
The couple from Prestatyn relived the fiasco as today (October 3) marks their 50th anniversary.

David, 77 said: "I arrived at the church with my best man and we sat there waiting as Brenda made her way in the limo.
"But when she arrived, the driver was told to go around the block.
"Brenda was wondering what was happening, thinking I hadn't turned up.

"When the wedding car came back, the driver was told to drive around once more.
"When Brenda was eventually allowed into the church, our two ministers told us there was a problem - the registrar hadn't arrived.
"They said they could marry us in God's name but explained we would not be legally married - in those days they used to keep your passports until you were.

"So I just told them to go ahead and do it."
Meanwhile, David's uncle raced to a telephone box and frantically rang the registry office in St Asaph.

He was told the registrar due to marry the couple had forgotten because his wife was ill, and another would be sent out immediately.
David recalled: "While we waited, we had our wedding photographs taken outside and guests threw confetti over us, even though we weren't technically married.

"We sent all 150 guests down to the Nant Hall Hotel and we stayed at the church until the registrar turned up.
"He told us he'd have to take us into the vestry and we'd have to go through the ceremony again.
"So we were married twice - once in the eyes of God and once in the eyes of the law."

David and Brenda eventually met their guests at their reception and later caught the train to London before flying to Mallorca for their honeymoon.
They returned home to find their story had made the local and national headlines.
In the 1968 Daily Post report, David compared their ordeal to having a "wedding in reverse."
And Rev Davies was quoted as saying: "I suppose in years time, they'll laugh about it."
The secret to a happy marriage
This week the grandparents, who met while both working for the water board and have two sons and one grandson, will mark their golden anniversary in Mallorca.
Brenda, 74 said: "We're really looking forward to celebrating.
"We've had a great 50 years together.
"The tip for a long and lasting marriage is to be best friends.
"Don't think of yourselves as husband and wife, you're best friends and that's the way to do it."

Q: Open Elfinder 2.X from input field In my CMS I used Elfinder 1.X, which was integrated into CKEditor and I could open an other instance by clicking an input as well. Now I updated Elfinder to 2.0 and the input doesn't want to work anymore.
Here's the code I had:
function load_elfinder($id) {
$('<div />').elfinder({
url : 'lib/modules/elfinder/connectors/php/connector.php',
lang : 'hu',
dialog : { width : 900, modal : false },
editorCallback : function(url) {
document.getElementById($id).value = url;
}
})
}

And then:
    $(".news_index").on('click',function(){
    load_elfinder('news_index');
    });
Now this function doesn't work. With CKEditor it works perfectly. What could be the problem?

A: You need to change connector codes too. Use getFileCallback instead of editorCallback. It's changed from version 1.0, but the wiki is not updated well.

Ricky Does 60 Minutes
Posted By Fred Gardner On December 29, 2004 @ 12:00 am In article,articles 2014 onward | Comments Disabled
Mike Wallace and his producer did their best to ridicule and incite jealousy towards Ricky Williams on "60 Minutes" Sunday night, but could not bring him down. My comments in (parentheses).
MW: We're about to tell you a very strange story about a football superstar name of Ricky Williams. He won the Heisman trophy in 1998 as the best football player in the country. (Cut to footage of Williams running for a touchdown -misleading in that his job mainly involved slamming straight into the line.) Then five years of glory in the NFL. He carried the ball more often over the last two seasons than any other player in the league! (Said as if it was some honor the ingrate didn't appreciate instead of a speed-up that any self-respecting worker would have resisted.) And he made millions doing it for the Miami Dolphins as the team's star player.
But then, just before Dolphins training camp this past July, he turned his back on all of it -the stardom, the fame, the salary of five million dollars a year. His sudden decision to quit stunned his teammates, infuriated fans, and ruined the Dolphins' entire season. He never really explained why he quit (actually Williams did explain to Dave Le Batard of the Miami Herald, but why not claim the scoop for CBS?) and he has stayed out of public view for the past six months (except for the interview he gave Tom FitzGerald of the San Francisco Chronicle). But wait till you see what he's doing now…
(An Om-like chant is heard. Wide shot of Ricky and fellow students seated on mats.) He's studying holistic medicine in the California hills outside Sacramento where, surprisingly, he agreed to answer any questions we asked about how, at the peak of his earning power, he could just walk away.
Ricky Williams: My whole thing in life is I just want freedom. I thought that money would give me that freedom. I was wrong.
MW: Why were you wrong?
RW: Because especially when you're 21 and you're given as much money as I was given…
MW: How much were you given?
RW: At 21 I received my first check, it was 3.6.
MW: Million.
RW (nodding): before taxes. After taxes it was 2.4.
MW: Oh, poor fellow.
RW: It bound me more than it freed me, because now I had more things to worry about, more people asking for money, I thought I had to buy a house and nice cars and different things that people with money are supposed to do.
MW: And you did not find that satisfying?
RW: No, it just created more problems.
MW: You would have made five million bucks this year. You said, "It's blood money as far as I'm concerned. The money is what made me miserable. I want to be free of that stress." Forgive me, but that's bulls—.
RW: It is bullshit. I agree. When hearing you say that, I agree, it is…
MW (as narrator): The real reason he left, he told us, was to avoid the public humiliation over news that he had just failed a drug test -his third failed drug test.
RW: All right, here's what happened, okay? The thing I had the most trouble with was, after you fail your third test, it becomes public knowledge that you failed the test. And that's one thing I couldn't deal with at the time -people knowing that I smoked marijuana.
MW: So the problem with failing your third NFL drug test was that it would be made public?
RW: That was my biggest fear of my whole entire life. I was scared to death of that.
MW (narrating): So rather than face the music and the media about his failed drug test, he quit football and ran away, far far away, to Australia, where he lived in a tent community that cost him just seven dollars a day.
RW (over shot of a tent): In my tent I had about 30 books. Every morning I'd wake about five in the morning and I'd take my flashlight and I'd read for a couple of hours.
MW: Books about what?
RW: Everything from nutrition to Buddhism to Jesus. I was trying to figure out, "What am I? What am I?" I just kept reading and reading and couldn't figure out what I was but I learned a lot.
MW: It was there he learned about an ancient healing science from India called Ajurveda.
RW: It's using nature to heal yourself, to put yourself in balance.
MW: Are you in balance now?
RW: I'm more in balance now than I was a couple of months ago, but it's a journey that people spend their whole lives on.
MW: What's balance?
RW: It's easier to talk about what's out of balance. Anytime you have any disease -meaning lack of ease, lack of flow- you're out of balance, whether it's jealousy, anger, greed, anxiety, fear.
MW: And you've had experience in all of the above.
RW: I've had a little bit of all of it -most people have.
MW: This fall he enrolled in an 18-month course at the California College of Ayurveda. Free from the structured life of the NFL, he's immersed now in (Shots of Ricky and other students on mats) The search for his soul.
RW: Playing in the National Football League you're told where to be, when to be there, what to wear, how to be there. Being able to step away from that I have an opportunity to look, deeper into myself and look for what's real.
(Cut to Dr. Mark Halpern, who runs the Institute, a sent-from-central-casting California guru with a trim beard and a soothing voice. Even in slacks and a jacket he appears to be wearing draw-string pants.)
Halpern: I see burn-out in probably 60 to 70 percent of society at any given time.
MW: Halpern says Ricky is studying to become an holistic healer.
Halpern: He will help individuals to live in greater harmony with their environment through all five of their senses. When we're living in harmony with our environment, our bodies naturally express themselves in the form of health.
(Cut to a tight shot of Ricky's back being lathered and stroked by two beautiful white women. Long, sensual strokes guaranteed to incite jealousy in some and a desire, in others, to enroll in the Ayurvedic Institute.)
MW (voice over): Receiving this massage is part of his training to become an Ayurvedic masseur.
Halpern: The specific hand strokes in order to balance the various energies of the body And it's very calming and soothing and nourishing for the mind. And he's following the whisperings of his soul as opposed to the shouting of his own ego. It's our ego that desires the fame and the fortune. It's the whisperings of the soul that lead us towards the pursuit of harmony, the pursuit of health and well being. Including sometime facing the consequences of letting go of the fame and fortune.
WW: Fact is, Williams has gone from fortune to deep debt. And from fame to infamy. The Dolphins claim he owes them more than 8 million dollars -much more money than he has- for leaving in the middle of his contract. His sudden departure just days before training camp doomed the Dolphins to their worst season in franchise history and infuriated his former fans and especially his teammates. (Undoubtedly some of Williams's teammates and fans understood and respected his decision, but Wallace got away with the overstatement.)
Dolphins tackle Larry Chester says, "Ricky owes lots of people an apology. Not just the fans, but a lot of guys in the locker room." Do you want to apologize to them right now?
RW: If I can find a reason to apologize then I'd love to apologize. And if they want me to apologize just to apologize, then I'll apologize. But it doesn't mean anything unless I understand what I'm apologizing for.
MW (as if it's all real simple): You're apologizing for letting them down. The Dolphins thought with you, and mainly with you, that they had a chance at the Super Bowl.
RW: What if I disagree, do I still have to apologize?
MW (momentarily confused; he is accustomed to asking the questions, not being asked): If you disagree with?
RW: That I cost them their season.
MW (displeased, almost sneering): Oh, come on, Ricky.
RW: I played my butt off. I played as hard as I could when I put that uniform on, but I'm not doing that anymore, you know, I've moved on. So when is it okay for me to stop playing foot- when would it have been okay for me to stop playing football? When my knees went out? When my shoulders went out? When I had two concussions? When would it have been okay? I'm just curious? When is it okay to not play football?
MW: Maybe if you'd given them a clue ahead of time.
RW: I didn't know ahead of time or I would have given them a clue. It happened in the course of two days, boom boom boom boom.
MW: Since you quit…
RW: (correcting him) Retired -I'm only kidding, I'm only kidding.
MW: Well, have you retired or did you quit?
RW: I retired from that lifestyle.
(Exterior shot of a cute country cottage.)
MW: He's renting a one-bedroom house in Grass Valley, California, with no TV, no long-distance phone and no regrets. Do you like yourself?
RW: I love myself.
MW: You do? Why?
RW: Because I'm all that I have and if I don't love myself, no one else will.
MW: You don't dislike anything in yourself?
RW: Whenever I feel myself starting to dislike something I tell myself, "This is who I am," so what's the point in disliking it?
MW: You can't pay that 8 million dollars that you're supposed to pay. (Mocking Williams' high tenor) "Hey, I'm Ricky! I can just go through life the way I want to go."
RW: Let's look at the alternative, all right? If every day I woke up and I said, "God, I've got all this money to pay back, got all these problems," I wouldn't be sitting here with you with a smile on my face right now.
MW: Why are you smiling?
RW: Because I'm happy.
MW: And the people who are angry at you because you deserted them? Betrayed them. That doesn't bother you?
RW: No, because I did.
MW: Deserted and betrayed?
RW: To them I did, yeah.
MW: Do you care about what people think who are looking in?
RW: No.
MW: Right now.
RW: No
MW: This is from a Sporting News columnist: "Ricky has always been one of the most selfish, unpredictable, purposely bizarre and more than slightly off kilter athletes. He doesn't care how his behavior might affect anyone around him. It has always been about Ricky." Reaction?
RW: Half of it's accurate. But how can I expect him, if I don't know anything about him, to really know anything about me.
MW: Want to hear it again?
RW: Can I see it in print?
Wallace (hands over the page he was reading from): Sure. Read it aloud.
RW (after reading it aloud). He got the name right. I mean I am unpredictable but who -what- is supposed to be predictable?
MW (reading again): This is more from him: "You know the type. They fancy themselves as shining knights in a dull world, they try to be unique. Instead of looking brave, they look foolish."
(C-Notes thinks Williams looks like the prince in War and Peace.)
RW: I look very foolish, that's accurate. To a lot of people I look foolish in what I'm doing and I understand that.
MW: And it doesn't bother you at all?
RW: No, the only thing that matters is how I feel and if I let how they feel affect me it'll change how I feel.
MW: Another columnist: "To some Williams is a selfish quitter. To others he's a hero who took his job and shoved it, leaving a brutal game before it brutalized him. To close friends, Williams is a deep-thinking free spirit, who despised the stereotype that came with football, fame and fortune."
RW (relieved): That's a little more accurate.
MW: Got a girl?
RW: I have a daughter but I don't have a girlfriend.
MW: How come?
RW: Just haven't found anyone that fits the bill.
MW: And the bill is?
RW: I'll know when they fit it.
MW: Never married?
RW: Never married. But I have three children.
MW: What about the mothers of those three. They're all different.
RW: They're all different. They're all special.
MW: Do you support the mothers of these children?
RW: Financially. Yes. (still smiling but understanding Mike's drift) Of course I do! I'm a very generous person. At least I try to be.
MW: Who's your hero, if any?
RW: I would say Bob Marley, probably.
(Cut to footage of Marley in performance.)
MW: Bob Marley, the legendary reggae star from Jamaica inspired Ricky to wear dreadlocks for years. But in Australia, while he was off taking pictures, Ricky cut them off.
RW: So I set up my tripod and started taking some self-portraits.
MW: And the dreadlocks got in the way.
RW: And the dreadlocks got in the way so I ran up to the top of the hill, I had scissors in my van, I cut my hair then and there.
MW: Beyond the dreadlocks, Williams named one of his daughters "Marley," and he and his hero have something else in common… (to Ricky) He used hash.
RW: He smoked a lot of marijuana, yeah.
MW: And you've done the same.
RW: I have done the same.
MW: Could you pass an NFL drug test today?
MW: So you still smoke marijuana.
RW: Mmm-hmm.
MW: Anything worse than marijuana?
RW: Worse? What do you mean by worse?
MW: (annoyed by the question): More addictive. More dangerous, conceivably.
RW: Sometimes I have sweets. (Wallace doesn't react) Sugar.
MW: (sarcastic) Oh, I see, yeah.
RW: Sometimes I'll have a glass of wine, but that's about it.
MW: Steroids?
RW: No. Thank God I never needed that.
MW: Why?
RW: I was gifted. I'm very blessed. I never needed anything to help me play football.
MW (slightly hushed tone, as if discussing the sacred) Do you think you'll ever play football again?
RW: I have no idea.
MW: Oh, come on.
RW: I really have no idea. I can't even tell you what's going to happen tomorrow.
MW: I'll make you a bet. You'll play football again.
RW: Okay. What are we going to put -what's the wager?
MW: (Surprised that Williams took him literally) You don't care about money.
RW: We could bet dinner, lunch. Why do you think I'll play football again?
MW: Because I think that you will want to have the freedom that you have now but you're going to need more money to have the freedom that you now have. You've said that you might like to play for the Oakland Raiders.
RW I did say that.
MW: And Raider fans like weirdos like you.
RW: I have a much easier time fitting in in Oakland.
MW (narrating) He did admit that from time to time he still misses the game. (Cut back to the interview) You're 27. When you're 50, what do you want to be?
RW: Alive.
MW: You like what you're doing here.
RW: I love what I'm doing here.
MW: Why do you love it?
RW: Just because I'm doing whatever I want to do. Like I said, I've followed freedom for a long time and I finally feel I've got more of it.
MW (wrapping it up) So for Ricky Williams, money couldn't buy happiness. But he says that now he's never been happier.
RW: People talk about the money that I've given up and the money that I've lost. But the knowledge and the wisdom that I've gotten from this experience is priceless. So, the way I look at it I'm still way, way, way up. Way, way up.
Although Williams was once a spokesman for Paxil, Wallace – an unabashed shill for pharmaceutical antidepressants- didn't ask RW whether he still uses it and, if not, when and why he quit? How Paxil compares with marijuana? How much Pfizer paid him? When and why he severed his relationship? And other questions that would have been meaningful to millions of viewers and distasteful to CBS's major sponsors.
Health Canada Okays Sativex
GW Pharmaceuticals, the British firm seeking to market a cannabis-plant extract called Sativex, has gotten a "qualifying notice" for approval from Health Canada. GW scientists are confident that the additional data they now must provide the regulatory authorities will be satisfactory. Sativex could be approved as a treatment for neuropathic pain in multiple sclerosis (and other conditions, as doctors see fit) as early as May 2005.
GW grows plants in large glass houses under rigidly controlled conditions, then blends the buds and flowers into extracts with uniform contents formulated for spraying in the mouth. Bottles contain approximately 55 doses. For most conditions for which Sativex has been tested in clinical trials, patients used 8 to 10 doses a day to achieve beneficial effect.
Sativex contains almost equal amounts of THC and cannabidiol (CBD, a component almost entirely lacking in cannabis plants bred for psychoactive effect). A standard dose (one spray) contains 2.7 milligrams THC and 2.5 mg CBD.
GW also makes an extract in which CBD is predominant ("Nabidolex") and a high-THC extract ("Tetranabinex"). All contain a full range of terpenoids and some flavonoids that may modulate the effects of the cannabinoids within the body.
Final approval will make Sativex the first cannabis-based medicine available by prescription in North America since Prohibition was imposed in 1937.

Q: After mapster href doesn't work I'm trying to redirect a user on click of current floor
without
$('#mapimage').mapster(
{
    fillcolor: 'ff0000', fillOpacity: 0.40
});

href of area tag works. With this it doesn't. What have I done wrong?
JSFIDDLE

A: This should work.
 $(document).ready(function () {
      $('#mapimage').mapster({
          fillcolor: 'ff0000',
          fillOpacity: 0.40,
          clickNavigate: true
      });
  });

You should read the documentation, everything is explained well ;)

By default, ImageMapster will prevent the default browser behavior in image maps, and "select" areas when they are clicked.
