The 2016 election has revealed major rifts in American society. The economic recovery left some Americans worse off than they were before the Great Recession. 1-in-6 white males have given up on the job market. Despite this, some economists argue the number that really matters is growth—if the economy is growing, all people will see benefit, even if the distribution of the growth is uneven. But does the American dream still exist? Vote below.

There are many who argue the American dream is alive and well.
Attaining the American dream is a function of intelligence, capability, personal choice, work ethic, achievement, upbringing and luck. And it should come as no surprise that those born into wealth have a better chance than those born into poverty. But that is by no means the only or determining factor. It's simply a headwind, no more, no less.
It's not easy, but it never has been.
If being born into privilege were everything, there would be no Apple, Starbucks, Walmart, Verizon, Oracle, WhatsApp or countless other great companies, all of which were built by entrepreneurs and executives who grew up with nothing but adversity, as I did. And nobody would know the names Steve Jobs, Oprah Winfrey or Ralph Lauren.

The American dream is still alive so long as America is still alive. Economic growth means there is still opportunity to be had for everyone. It becomes a matter of making sure everyone has a decent opportunity.

While issues like income inequality hurt the American dream, it's not as bad as people are making it out to be.

However, it's easy to find people who disagree with economists. Many think income inequality is out of hand and is dragging America down.

Americans are still worried about their future and how inequality will affect their children. Many more feel abandoned by the government.
While the American Dream of upward mobility and financial security is alive and well for the richest Americans, lower- and middle-income Americans have never felt less secure financially than they do now.
Downward mobility is now the new normal for most Americans. Upward mobility is now an almost insurmountable dream.

Many are worried about upward mobility for their children. It increasingly looks unlikely that the next generation will have the same opportunities as those today had.
But, for the first time, I'm no longer so sure my daughter will get there. Not because she'll lack for intelligence or dedication or good fortune, but because she will be raised in an era of unprecedented entitlement. If it takes a village to raise a child, then her father's voice will be drowned out by millions of naysayers.

Inequality, especially racial inequality, is killing the American dream. People are not getting the same opportunities and there are fewer to go around. Robert Reich explains this.

Get fractional resurfacing, laser resurfacing in which microscopic laser beams are introduced into the skin in a specific pixel-like pattern, at our Miami office.
Treated skin area per session is typically about 20%, leaving some whole, healthy, untreated skin around each tiny beam. Thus, there's no unpleasant wound healing, oozing or blistering.
This treatment is great for addressing uneven skin tone, fine lines, wrinkles, scars, acne scars, stretch marks, and vertical lip lines. And it's amazing at smoothing those under-eye wrinkles that Botox can't seem to touch. Discomfort is minimal and minimized with a topical numbing cream.
Best as a series of four to six.

2002 Topps is a 718-card set issued in two series. The first series of 364 cards was distributed in November, 2001 and the second series of 354 cards followed up in April, 2002. For the seventh consecutive year, card #7 does not exist (the number was "retired" in 1996 by Topps to honor Mickey Mantle).
Brown-boxed hobby factory sets were issued in May, 2002 containing the full 718-card basic set and five Topps Archives Reprints inserts. Green-boxed retail factory sets were issued in late August, 2002 containing the full 718-card basic set and cards 1-5 of a 10-card Draft Picks set. Cards 6-10 of the Draft Picks set were in Blue-boxed factory sets.
Notable Rookie Cards include Joe Mauer, Freddy Sanchez, Rich Harden, and Jason Bay.
Similar to 2000 Topps and 2001 Topps, a Limited Edition set was also released in 2002. These cards have extra gloss and have "Limited Edition" printed on the front.
Similar to the 1999 McGwire and Sosa home run cards, Barry Bonds is featured on card number 365 with 73 different versions to commemorate each of the homers he smashed during the 2001 season. The first series set is considered complete with any "one" of these variations, and each factory set contains one random card.
An error on Albert Pujols' card (#160) featuring a photo of Placido Polanco on the back was accidentally produced. The error was corrected, and went largely under-the-radar until 2003 when Topps confirmed it. It is unknown what percent of the print run has the correct back photo. Some people believe that corrected versions were only distributed in 2002 Topps holiday (blue) factory sets.

SoftBank CEO hosts 'pre-IPO summit' in New York as he courts investors
By Joshua Franklin
NEW YORK (Reuters) - SoftBank Group Corp Chief Executive Masayoshi Son held his first "pre-IPO summit" for the Japanese conglomerate's portfolio companies on Tuesday, introducing them to Wall Street investors who could be backing their stock market debuts.
FILE PHOTO: Japan's SoftBank Group Corp Chief Executive Masayoshi Son attends a news conference in Tokyo, Japan, November 5, 2018. REUTERS/Kim Kyung-Hoon/File Photo
The event, which was closed to the media and described by a source in attendance, illustrates how SoftBank is keen to prepare the ground for the initial public offerings of many of its holdings, after some of its portfolio companies performed poorly last year following their listings.
The gathering hosted institutional investors and was chaired by Son and BlackRock Inc CEO Larry Fink. It included nine SoftBank-backed companies, including data storage company Cohesity, British financial technology firm OakNorth and financing group Greensill Capital, the source said.
The event was held at Manhattan's three-Michelin-star Le Bernardin restaurant.
SoftBank declined to comment.
Son, under pressure from hedge fund Elliott Management to rein in his mercurial investment style, is spending the week meeting Wall Street contacts in New York. He is having to defend his track record after several of its expensive bets on startups, including office space-sharing firm WeWork, soured.
SoftBank was aiming to raise $108 billion in funds for a second Vision Fund. However, Son said last month its launch had been delayed due to investor concerns about the performance of SoftBank's first $100 billion Vision Fund.
As a result, Son has said SoftBank may spend up to two years investing its own money in a bridge fund, to build a portfolio that will give investors enough confidence to participate in a second Vision Fund.
Two of the first Vision Fund's most high-profile investments, ride-hailing firm Uber Technologies Inc and workplace message app Slack Technologies Inc, are trading well below the prices at which they went public last year.
WeWork saw its potential valuation tumble by tens of billions of dollars before cancelling its IPO plans last year and being bailed out by SoftBank in a close to $10 billion rescue financing deal.
There have also been some IPO successes from the Vision fund, such and life science technology company 10x Genomics Inc and Vir Biotechnology Inc, which specializes in clinical-stage immunology.

The Health Practice International Committee released an issue brief, End-of-Life Care in an Aging World: A Global Perspective, this month. Using case studies from a variety of countries, this issue brief explores health care challenges facing an aging population, and possible solutions to address the increasing health care costs and needs of the elderly at the end of life.
The Health Practice Council (HPC) submitted a letter to the U.S. House and Senate Dec. 12 providing comments on the potential consequences of eliminating the Affordable Care Act's (ACA) individual mandate, under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The HPC had submitted a previous letter on Nov. 21 to the Senate providing similar comments the tax reform legislation being considered by Congress.
The Academy made public policy presentations at the NAIC Fall 2017 National Meeting, Dec. 2–4 in Honolulu. John Schubert, member of the HPC, gave an update to the Health Actuarial (B) Task Force on the Academy's recent public policy work at the federal, state, and international levels. Warren Jones, chairperson of the Long-Term Care (LTC) Valuation Work Group, gave an update to the NAIC's Long-Term Care Actuarial (B) Working Group on the Academy's recent LTC activities, including work on issue briefs and work group activities surrounding LTC valuations and LTC combo valuations. Read the Academy alert.
The Risk Sharing Subcommittee and the Premium Review Work Group submitted comments to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) regarding the proposed rule for the 2019 benefit and payment parameters. The comments addressed proposed changes to the risk-sharing mechanisms, special enrollment periods, essential health benefits, minimum essential coverage, and medical loss ratios.
The Health Care Delivery Committee's Comparative Effectiveness Work Group published an issue brief providing an actuarial overview of comparative effectiveness research, including measuring its impact and its potential to reduce health care costs.
Following the expiration of federal funding for the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) on Sept. 30, states are beginning to exhaust their CHIP funds and are faced with the decision to terminate coverage, close enrollments, or find other solutions. As a last resort, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has already approved redistribution grants allowing nearly 20 states that have exhausted their FY2017 carryover CHIP funds to continue their programs, with several more approvals expected soon. A continuing resolution passed by the U.S. Congress on Dec. 7 to fund the government through Dec. 22 includes emergency stopgap funding for CHIP through the end of the year; however, longer-term congressional action is still required.
A tax reform bill that passed in the U.S. Senate on Dec. 2 by a 51-49 vote included a provision to repeal the individual mandate for health insurance coverage enacted under the ACA; a tax bill that passed in the U.S. House of Representatives previously, on Nov. 16, did not include a provision to repeal the individual mandate. Due to this and other differences between the two bills, the two chambers have gone to conference to find agreement on final tax legislation. Read the Academy alert.
Eighteen states and the District of Columbia filed a lawsuit on Nov. 28 against a rule by the Trump administration that allows employers to opt out of offering insurance coverage for contraception.
An amended Section 1115 Medicaid waiver was submitted to HHS by North Carolina on Nov. 20.
The Arizona Supreme Court ruled Nov. 17 that a tax imposed on hospitals in order to finance the state's Medicaid program is not in violation of the state's constitution.
CMS released a proposed rule on Nov. 16 that would seek to lower Medicare spending on prescription drugs.
The CBO released an updated estimate on the effects of repealing the individual mandate. CBO found that repealing the mandate would increase the number of Americans without health insurance coverage by 4 million in 2019, and 13 million in 2027. CBO also found that repealing the individual mandate would reduce federal deficits by $338 billion over the next decade.
Voters in Maine approved a ballot measure on Nov. 7 to expand Medicaid, following five previous failed attempts by the Maine Legislature to expand Medicaid. Another state health-related referendum was rejected by voters in Ohio that would have prevented state agencies from purchasing prescription drugs at higher prices than paid by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Read the Academy alert.

In a Nov. 28 USA Today opinion piece, Andy Slavitt, former acting administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and a keynote speaker at the Academy's 2016 Annual Meeting and Public Policy Forum, cited the HPC's Dec. 7 letter to congressional leaders on repealing the ACA's provisions or ending cost-sharing reduction reimbursements. The piece was reprinted by more than 85 media outlets.
Several media outlets—including MSN, Kaiser Health News, Fierce Healthcare, Washington Examiner, Fiscal Times, Think Progress, and subscriber-only Bloomberg BNA—reported on the HPC's Nov. 21 letter to the U.S. Senate providing comments on the potential consequences of eliminating the ACA's individual mandate, as recently included in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
A Center on Budget and Policy Priorities report cited the HPC's Nov. 7 letter to HHS and the U.S. Labor and Treasury departments on President Trump's Oct. 12 health care executive order, citing the HPC's analysis of risk pooling in the individual market. The letter was also cited by the Georgetown University Health Policy Institute Center on Health Insurance Reforms. The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities also cited the Academy's Nov. 21 letter to the U.S. Senate in a blog post.
In a Bloomberg BNA story, Senior Health Fellow Cori Uccello discussed how the ACA's individual mandate is an important piece of the law's approach to a sustainable individual market. Uccello's remarks from the interview also were cited in a separate Bloomberg BNA story discussing the impact of repealing the mandate.
Uccello's comments on the potential consequences of eliminating the ACA's individual mandate were cited in a HealthDay story that was reprinted by numerous media outlets, including the Philadelphia Inquirer, U.S. News & World Report, Doctors Lounge, HealingWell.com, Health On the Net Foundation, and Health.com.
A Los Angeles Times article cited the HPC's July 25 letter to U.S. Senate leadership on the potential adverse consequences of legislation to eliminate the ACA's individual mandate, which could lead to lower enrollment, a deterioration of the risk pool, and higher premiums. The article was reprinted by the Baltimore Sun, Chicago Tribune, Daily Hampshire Gazette, Governing, JournalStar.com, Morning Call, the Hartford Courant, and the Orlando Sentinel.
A Fierce Healthcare story cited the Risk Sharing Subcommittee and Premium Review Work Group's comment letter to HHS regarding the proposed rule for the 2019 benefit and payment parameters.

Q: Inconsistent rendering of UTF-8 in Mail I recently received this (not the first time) in Mail.app on MacOS 11.4:

Why would the first two hanzi be rendered correctly and the third use ISOLatin1?  Is it a bug I should report, and to which (Apple or web host)?  It looks correct in the Sent folder.  It also looks correct in the To: line of the headers on the same message that has the error in the body.
It has not happened in recent replies for other places, so it's unlikely to be an Apple bug.  Yet if the encoding header is missing, odd that the headers are correctly rendered differently.

A: Partial answer from the hosting company, and my response:

Please accept our apologies for this, which is a known bug in our third-party ticket management system software. There's a bug in its UTF8 support that seems to affect lines that switch character sets more than once in a given line (as that one does, switching from Latin to UTF8 to Latin).

Since ASCII is a subset of UTF8, but ISOLatin1 isn't, for it to assume ISOLatin1 and switch to UTF-8 is definitely a bug!
UNLESS Apple failed to provide an encoding header, in which case it is a bug from Apple.  In that case, assuming ISOLatin1 is reasonable and attempting to detect and switch to UTF8 is clever, even if it fails.

Jay White (born 9 October 1992) is a New Zealand professional wrestler signed to New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW). After starting his career in 2013, White joined NJPW the following year as a "young lion". In June 2016, White left for an overseas learning excursion, during which he worked most notably for the American Ring of Honor (ROH) and the British Revolution Pro Wrestling (RPW) promotions through NJPW's international partnerships. White eventually returned to NJPW in November 2017.
White initially trained under The UK Kid at Varsity Pro Wrestling in early 2013, and made his professional debut on 19 February, working for VPW as well as All Star Wrestling, among other promotions. In early 2014, White met New Japan Pro Wrestling's Prince Devitt and competed alongside him in a tag team match for VPW. After the match, Devitt gave White his card and told him to keep in touch. Shortly thereafter, White was contacted by Bad Luck Fale, who said that Devitt had spoken to NJPW officials about White and that he could get him a place as a young lion in the dojo if he wanted it. Several months later, White met with Fale, Devitt, and Shinsuke Nakamura in London, where White accepted their offer and began finalizing his visa to leave for the NJPW dojo.
White left for Japan on New Year's Eve 2014, began further training as a young lion upon his arrival, and made his debut for NJPW on 30 January 2015, losing to Alex Shelley. White lost all but eight of his matches in 2015, as is common for young lions in NJPW. In 2016, White began gaining more victories, and on 27 March competed in his biggest match to date when he was defeated by then-reigning IWGP Intercontinental Champion Kenny Omega in a non-title match. White's final match in NJPW took place on 19 June 2016 at Dominion 6.19 in Osaka-jo Hall, when he, David Finlay Jr., and Juice Robinson were defeated by Satoshi Kojima, Hiroyoshi Tenzan, and Manabu Nakanishi. White left for his excursion to the United States the following week.
Upon moving to the United States, White was first based in New Jersey, before moving to Detroit, where he lived with Alex Shelley. White debuted in Ring of Honor (ROH) at the 25 June TV tapings, defeating Kamaitachi by disqualification and teaming with The Motor City Machine Guns (Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin) to defeat Kamaitachi and The Addiction (Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian). White and The Motor City Machine Guns eventually formed a stable named "Search and Destroy" with Jonathan Gresham and Lio Rush. On 8 July, White defeated Lio Rush. At the next set of TV tapings, White defeated Will Ferrara and wrestled Jay Briscoe to a time limit draw. White debuted for England's Revolution Pro Wrestling on 12 August 2016, defeating Josh Bodom. On 19 August, White competed in a fatal four way match against Kamaitachi, Lio Rush, and Donovan Dijak, which was won by Dijak. The following day, White and Rush were defeated by The Briscoe Brothers. White returned to RPW on 26 August, defeating Mark Haskins. On 30 September, White teamed with Kushida and ACH to defeat The Briscoes and Toru Yano in a quarter final match in the ROH Trios Tag Team Championship Tournament. White, ACH, and Kushida then defeated The Cabinet (Rhett Titus, Kenny King, and Caprice Coleman) in the semi-finals, but were defeated by The Kingdom (Matt Taven, Vinny Marseglia, and TK O'Ryan) in the final at Final Battle. White competed once again for RPW on January 21, 2017, defeating Martin Stone. On June 6th, White received his biggest title opportunity in his career when after winning a Battle Royal he unsuccessfully challenged Christopher Daniels for The ROH World Championship in a triple threat match. At Best in the World 2017 White, teaming with Search and Destroy defeated The Rebellion in a losers must disband match thus keeping the group together.
On November 5, 2017, at Power Struggle, White returned to NJPW as the mysterious "Switchblade", who had been teased for the past several months, challenging Hiroshi Tanahashi to a match for the IWGP Intercontinental Championship at Wrestle Kingdom 12 in Tokyo Dome, before attacking him. The following day, NJPW officially announced the match between Tanahashi and White for Wrestle Kingdom 12. On January 4, White was defeated by Tanahashi in the title match. On January 5, Jay teased joining Bullet Club; however, White then betrayed Kenny Omega by attacking him with a Blade Runner. A day later he joined the Chaos faction in order to face off against Bullet Club and Kenny Omega, claiming he needed backup in his fight against Bullet Club. On January 28th at the New Beginning in Sapporo, White defeated Omega to become the second IWGP United States Champion in the title's history. On March 25, he went on to defend the title for the first time against Hangman Page at NJPW Strong Style Evolved Event in Long Beach, California. White would make his second successful title defence against David Finlay at Road to Dontaku. White would make his third defense of the title beating Punishment Martinez during the ROH/NJPW War of the Worlds Tour in Toronto, Canada. At Dominion 6.9 in Osaka-jo Hall, White suffered a pin fall loss in a tag team match to Juice Robinson. Because of this, White defended but lost the title to Juice at the G1 Special in San Francisco. White would then compete in the 28th G1 Climax ended 3rd in his block with a record of 6-3-0 scoring major wins over the leader of CHAOS Kazuchika Okada and eventual winner Hiroshi Tanahashi.

I learned at this session that there is a hidden lake near me. These two are getting hitched at the beach next year, so we kept up the theme of water and did this session on their family's property. We watched the sunset from a pontoon boat and it was magical.

ICONE RUSSE
APPUNTI EGIZI
...Omissis...
But the pterophor (priest) who had led the mysterious ceremonies of Osiris, the one who, with his silver tablet in Dendara, had led the divine procession into the room of gold, he would have had no hesitation: themes and key keywords were all included.
No doubt he was in the chapel of a tomb; so the mystery was evoked in favor of a dead person and not for himself.
Isis, on both sides, was preceded by the most important spiritual elements of the deceased: the ba, to the left, and perhaps again the ba to the right. It is for him that the rites that Petosiris, High Priest of Thoth, had to perform in person so many times during his life were performed. In the center, the God Khepri, carrying the crown-atef, in its most ancient form, is none other than Osiris, it is the same in the solar apotheosis that it was his resurrection. His crown, the one that brings so often Osiris into the architectural complex dedicated to him, in the temple of Sethi I to Abydos, is enough to prove it, as well as the words of Isis, which of course are addressed to him, are useful in supporting this identification
THE TEXT OF the resurrection scene
Now it is glorious, bright, transformed by gold, divine flesh, into an incorruptible being, as is shown by the joy of Isis and Nephite accents when the reborn god takes the place of the everlasting star to which his mother Nut gives birth to daily, eternally.
But, in turn, Osiris-Khepri (the beetle) generously communicates this eternal life (which he has been able to receive from the mighty Isis) to all those who are able to identify themselves in him and who have participated to the mystery of his suffering, his death, and his resurrection. Here, it is the only thing that matters. Nekhbet, who presides at birth, also presides over this resurrection that is another birth; it does so by holding [the scepter] "was" in the hands, a symbol of divine stability, and the cosmic circle eternally traveled by the sun. [Goddess] To meet the duality needs of the Egyptian mind, he brings with his protection the life that only his name is enough to evoke: the green color [Uto = Wadjet = green].
Isis, doubled, absorbs, on the one hand, the personality of Neith, the great mother of the gods, as the Red Crown Lady. She searched her husband's limbs and gathered them together, resurrected Osiris, and managed to join him. As it has received from Amon at birth, the breath of life, prerogative of this god, became first of all the Dama and therefore the dispenser. So she communicates it to the deceased to relive it.
Still, it was not enough just one vital breath. The mortals possess it during their earthly life and it is not enough to make it eternal.
Thus, on the opposite side, the Lord of the Rekhyts, compassionate towards humanity, to whom she is the queen, implements the most effective remedies for eternity. She remembers "The One Who Lies" (Osiris) in the vegetative life that constantly triumphed over the apparent death as his love for Osiris, identifying it to the grain sown in the mystical garden of the god. It was his cthonic appearance that then glittered in the mystery, as in the recitations made on the reconstructed body. It was only a form of this resurrection, obtained from a sort of assimilation to the powers of the cosmos that periodically demonstrate their eternity. The other [form] was transmutation in an unalterable material, and therefore divine [the gold] of being who was to receive the life of the gods. Osiris becomes part of the sun, regenerated by the combined offer of grain and gold, can now communicate, thanks to the gold that emits in turn, the renewal of life. The human-headed Ba, near Isis, suggests that thanks to this golden light the deceased reborn has been restored to the world; it was in fact in the contact with the sunlight in a glitter of golden dust, as the texts often say, that the whole world, and the statues, as well as the bodies come to life. So, before being rejuvenated, reincarnated in a body this time imperceptible and unalterable as gold, the charitable goddess lets fully express its joy.
It seems that these are the ideas that initiation into the mysteries of the Osirian resurrection could evoke in the minds of those who had benefited. There is no doubt that there were others. Perhaps what we now come to understand, in fact, was more complex and subtle. Undoubtedly, even the ceremonies expressing these concepts still largely escape. Yet what we can see is, as it seems to us, very interesting and sufficient to justify this long exegesis of the mysterious Bas-relief of Petosiris.

Parking Rate Hearing Done, January Vote »
State Grants Awarded to Skatepark, Gallup
December 7, 2011 at 11 am
State grants have been approved for two projects in Ann Arbor: $300,000 for a proposed Ann Arbor skatepark at Veterans Memorial Park, and $300,000 for improvements at the Gallup Park canoe livery. A staff member for the lobbyist Kirk Profit alerted Ann Arbor city council members and staff about the news on Wednesday morning, Dec. 7. Profit was in Lansing attending the meeting of the Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund board, where the grant awards were announced.
The city had been notified last month that these projects ranked in the top 12 out of 100 applications statewide for funding from the Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund. The skatepark application ranked 12th out of the 100 applications, based on a scoring system used to evaluate the grants. The Gallup Park application ranked 2nd. There was a cap of $300,000 per project.
At its March 15, 2011 meeting, the city's park advisory commission had voted to recommend supporting the grant applications. The city council made a similar vote of support on March 21. Council's resolution of support prioritized the skatepark project over the Gallup renovations – based on the opportunity to leverage $400,000 of matching funds from the Washtenaw County parks & recreation commission.
A press release issued late Wednesday morning from the Friends of the Ann Arbor Skatepark indicated that the state grant allows the group to reach $800,000 in fundraising, and assures that construction of the skatepark will move forward. [.pdf of FAAS press release]

Expression of phospholipase D2 in human colorectal carcinoma
Oncol Rep. 2007 Nov;18(5):1329-34.
Masaru Saito 1 , Manabu Iwadate, Masashi Higashimoto, Koichiro Ono, Yuji Takebayashi, Seiichi Takenoshita

Phospholipase D (PLD) catalyzes the hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine (PC) to generate phosphatidic acid (PA) and choline. PA acts as a second messenger in cell proliferation; therefore PLD is believed to play an important role in carcinogenesis. PLD activity has been reported to be elevated in human breast, gastric, renal cell and colorectal carcinomas, compared with adjacent non-neoplastic tissues. The activity of PLD was also correlated with nuclear grade in breast cancer, tumor size in gastric carcinoma, and nodal involvement and deeper invasion in colorectal carcinoma. However, the number of cases in each study was small. The aim of this study was to investigate the expression level of PLD2 and its association with clinicopathological features in human colorectal carcinoma. Ninety-seven colorectal carcinomas were obtained from surgery. Expression level of PLD2 was assessed by real-time PCR. The prognostic relevance of PLD2 expression level in patients with colorectal carcinoma was also analyzed by the survival analysis of mortality follow-up data covering the period 2000-2004. PLD expression level was varied from tumor to tumor. Expression level of PLD was significantly correlated with tumor size (P<0.05); it was independent of lymph node metastasis, extent of invasion, pathological classification, distant metastasis and Dukes' stage. PLD expression level was also significantly correlated with survival of patients with colorectal carcinoma (P<0.05). These findings suggested that PLD2 plays an important role in progression of colorectal carcinoma and that PLD2 could be a target for therapy in colorectal carcinoma.

Britney Spears Pranks Jimmy Kimmel, Sings "Make Me" To Him In Bed: Watch
Robbie Daw @chartrigger | August 4, 2016 9:42 am
When you're Jimmy Kimmel, weird shit is bound to happen to you in name of comedy. For instance, on April Fool's Day in 2015, the nighttime talk show host's wife let Rihanna sneak into the house in the middle of the night to surprise him with an impromptu "Bitch Better Have My Money" awakening. And last night brought us a clip where Britney Spears pulled the same shenanigans — complete with shirtless, gyrating male dancers, disco lights and a groggy, confused Kimmel wondering why the sweet dulcet tones of "Make Me" were blasting in his bedroom at 1 a.m.
10 Artists Who've Found "Glory" In Pop
Spears' ninth album Glory is due out just three weeks from now, on August 26. Its nice to see her finally doing some promotion (albeit pre-taped) behind the lead single.
One nagging question comes to mind with this whole skit, though: With as delayed as Britney's single was, could this clip have also been shot on April 1?

Saint Isidore Catholic Cemetery

Saint Isidore Catholic Cemetery – Bio
Joseph Bertram Johnson
In 1869, he converted to Catholicism, the faith of his wife. According to his grandson, Joseph Reilly, Joseph nicked himself while shaving and blood poisoning set in. A few days later he died on April 11, 1872 at the young age of 39 and was the first member to be buried in the cemetery of the little church that through the efforts and his undying devotion to his wife culminated in the reality of a Catholic Church in Lake Village.
Joseph was buried in a brick tomb constructed above ground in accordance to New Orleans traditions on the banks of Lake Chicot. The erosion of the lake bank caused problems and in 1910 his tomb had deteriorated so badly his remains were reinterred to the present location at the Saint Isidore Cemetery.
During the 1920's the parish priest buried four paupers across the foot of Johnson's lot and their attorney's worked on an agreement that the remaining three unused spaces would be reserved for the Johnson's heirs. This did not happen, but each year a donation was made in November until 1935 for the upkeep of the lot. Several years later four corners of their grave space were laid with grey granite posts with the "J" initial and remains there today.

Empowerment and Inclusion
Work and Prosperity
Seattle CityClub
What solutions have been implemented since the release of the 2017 Greater Seattle Civic Health Index to help improve the civic health of the Puget Sound region?
In the 2017 Greater Seattle Civic Health Index…
We recommended integrating public health efforts with support for individual and community empowerment.
Tacoma-Pierce County's Public Health Department and its Auditor's Office recognized that civic engagement is an essential component of personal and community health, and won a $100,000 grant to empower local students as agents of choice and action in our democracy.
Three Tacoma schools created advisory committees, sourced student ideas for communal projects, organized campaigns and school votes, and selected winning proposals for funding. Participating students gained problem-solving, negotiation, financial literacy and collaboration skills.
1,068 students cast ballots in the Lincoln High School election.
During the Lincoln High School election, students voted to spend $60,000 to improve their school bathrooms, worked on a voter registration drive for their schoolmates and toured the Auditor's Office to see how votes are tabulated.
Related Article: What happens when you give students money to spend?
"Empowering students to choose the best way to spend the health department grants is an early lesson in taking ownership of change they want to see that will make their communities healthier."
Jacques Colon
Health Equity Coordinator, Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department
We recommended investing in civic infrastructure to empower under-resourced communities, build bridges between communities and encourage partnerships between government and community-based organizations.
Seattle Foundation launched the Vibrant Democracy Initiative in 2017 with a five-year commitment to increase the voices of underrepresented communities in King County. The initiative was developed to increase racial and economic equity in the region. It also recognizes that philanthropy has historically under-invested in communities of color and other underrepresented communities.
"It's imperative within any vibrant democracy that individuals from the most marginalized, underserved or forgotten communities are continuously encouraged to participate in the electoral process and harness their often untapped political power."
Jonathan Cunningham
Program Officer, Seattle Foundation
Grantees and community leaders co-designed multiple programs that collectively build capacity for community-led systems and policy change. Each effort tailored its approach to the unique needs and cultures of the communities it serves, including the Voter Education Fund. Through the Voter Education Fund, Ingersoll Gender Center received funding to develop the first dedicated Trans Justice Voter Guide.
Through the Vibrant Democracy Initiative, Seattle Foundation has invested $3 million in civic engagement, leadership development and coalition building efforts to date.
Thank you to Our 2018 Civic Health Index Sponsors
We recommended empowering disenfranchised residents and communities and connecting them to regional civic infrastructure.
King County has one of the lowest youth detention rates of any urban county in the United States; it has declined almost 70% since the late 1990s.
Black/African-American youth make up about 10% of King County's total youth population, yet they currently make up almost half of the detention population on any given day. Committed to being the first urban county in the nation to decrease its detention population while also reducing the racial disproportionalities within it, County Executive Dow Constantine has set a vision for "zero youth detention" as both an aspirational goal and a tool for transformational change.
King County is developing a plan to include specific actions that the county and its partners can take to reduce the use of secure detention for youth, including prevention and early intervention, diversion and supported transitions out of detention and into the community. This public health approach is resilience-based and builds on the strengths of families and communities to drive changes to services, systems and upstream strategies.
"By adopting a public health approach, we limit the traumatization of youth in detention, and ensure families have access to supports and services in the community."
Dow Constantine
Executive, King County
Due in late 2018, the new plan will bring together community and system partners to focus on a common outcome—the positive development and well-being of all youth.

It was reported that people of color, young people, and low-income residents are underrepresented in many metrics of civic engagement including voting. Eliminating language and other barriers to voter information and registration would help remedy this disparity.
There are close to a million people in Washington state who are eligible, but not registered to vote currently. New legislation can help close that gap.
In 2018, the Washington Voting Justice Coalition recommended legislation that became part of Governor Jay Inslee's Access to Democracy Package. Four of the bills from the Access to Democracy Package passed with bipartisan support in the state legislature.
Additionally, the legislature increased civics education requirements for high-schoolers and funded related teacher training.
What Voter Legislation Passed?
Automatic voter registration for citizens obtaining enhanced driver's licenses or identification cards through the Department of Licensing
Election day voter registration
Pre-registration of 16 and 17-year-olds
New pathways for communities to establish districts for elected offices
"The Washington Voting Rights Act puts power back into the hands of the people where it belongs."
Rebecca Saldaña
Senator (D‑37th District), Washington State
We recommended strengthening policies and programs that support civic education in schools and youth development organizations.
In 2018, the Washington State Debate Coalition will host free public debates for statewide offices.The Coalition will promote its debates using visual art and social media designed to increase youth participation, while partnering with TVW, Washington State's public affairs network, to use the debates as a basis for civics education in Washington high schools.
Seattle CityClub founded the Washington State Debate Coalition in 2016 to educate and engage voters and foster candidate access and accountability.
"We are committed to making free, smart, highly visible election debates an expected part of the political and civic culture of Washington State."
Executive Director, Seattle CityClub
We recommended investments in partnerships between the region's civic and tech communities.
In 2018, Google granted $100,000 to Washington's Council on Public Legal Education to customize iCivics, an award-winning online civics education platform, for Washington youth. Founded in 2009 by Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, iCivics uses online games, educational videos, and other resources to teach students how government works and provides opportunities to practice democratic skills. iCivicsWA gives schools and after-school programs across the state access to civics lessons aimed at increasing student civic engagement.
"This is a big step in teaching young people about our democracy and empowering them to participate."
Washington State Director, iCivics
The Google grant makes Washington the second state in the nation to implement similar programming at no cost to students or teachers. Google has nearly 3,000 employees in metropolitan Seattle. The grant underscores the company's mission to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible.

"It is so important to the future of our country that everyone understands how our government and systems work, and the role they can play in shaping them."
Darcy Nothnagle
Head of External Affairs NW region, Google
We recommended recognizing and promoting employee engagement as an economic development tool to help recruit and retain a highly skilled and committed workforce.
In 2017, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation supported $14.7 million in employee charitable giving.
The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation hires a lot of newcomers to Seattle and is deeply committed to fostering employee civic engagement. In 2017, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation helped employees support an estimated 3,000 organizations by matching $3.4 million in employee donations and 13,000 volunteer hours.
"The foundation opens doors. It makes it easy to meet organizations, to jump in and learn about what's happening in the community."
Tasleem Kachra
Senior Program Officer, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
Tasleem Kachra, who grew up in Kenya and moved to Seattle to work on vaccine delivery for The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation's global health program, was interested in community involvement as a way to put down roots in her new home and to pass on the opportunities she had when she immigrated to the United States.
Kachra served on an employee committee at the foundation that identified and awarded community grants to local organizations; one of the recipients of a community grant was the Refugee Women's Alliance. After learning about ReWA, Kachra joined the organization's capital campaign committee as a volunteer, and with training provided by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation's non-profit board service program, she joined ReWA's Board of Directors.
Through its rich portfolio of civic learning opportunities, connections to community organizations, and incentives for philanthropy and volunteering, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation fosters civic bonds of mutuality and service. Its employees feel more at home in Seattle, and Seattle becomes a better home for all.

Israel Folau carves up the Crusaders' defence. Photo: Kai SchwoererChristchurch: The NSW Waratahs have plummeted back to reality with the biggest loss of their season and failed to break a 12-year drought against the Crusaders away from home, going down by 19 points in difficult conditions.
Few pundits expected NSW to come away from the South Island with anything to show for themselves against the ladder-topping Crusaders, but the Waratahs will rue a missed opportunity to extend their lead on the Australian conference by spoiling a four-game winning streak.
It was the Crusaders' fifth straight win against Australian opposition – a sobering reminder of the gulf in standard and sheer potency of New Zealand teams this year.
An Israel Folau try in the 31st minute was a rare highlight for Gibson's men who were far from outclassed but could not salvage a 22-5 deficit inflicted in the first half as a result of sloppy defence.
However, former All Blacks and Crusaders winger Zac Guildford scored a try with his first touch in his comeback game from a stint in the Shute Shield with West Harbour.
Cold and wet Christchurch conditions greeted the Waratahs, meaning their forwards were in for a war of attrition against a Crusaders pack boasting 275 All Blacks caps. It was an area in which the Waratahs held their own despite it being a prime focus in the lead-up.
There was a surprising amount of backline ball movement despite the incessant rain, but a slippery ball made it difficult for playmakers on both sides to be as crisp as usual.
David Horwitz was not overawed by the task of filling Kurtley Beale's shoes at No.12. His passing and game management – be it at the back or in the frontline – was a positive sign for the future.
He brought what he's good at tonight, his D is great, got som good kicks down. It's games like this that get young players lot of experience. Daryl Gibson is usually more than happy to speak to the media in the lead-up to the game, but for the first time the former Crusaders assistant coach and centre wanted to keep to himself – a sign he was feeling the heat.
And so the Waratahs drought against the Crusaders continues. They have not won in New Zealand since 2004, losing on the last seven occasions by an average of 10 points.
Three minutes was all it took for the Crusaders to begin their onslaught, with winger Johnny McNicholl the beneficiary on the right edge despite a valiant effort from Nick Phipps.
Israel Dagg then went in minutes later to set up a 12-point buffer and it could have been three tries in the first 13 minutes had Matt Todd not been offside in the lead-up to a try whereby Andrew Kellaway fluffed a high-bomb in what was a tough night for the young fullback.
And then the other Israel popped. Against what had been an impenetrable Crusaders line, Folau somehow sliced through before offloading to Horne.
The ball was knocked off a Crusaders hand onto Horne's feet to which he picked up to give NSW a glimmer of hope after their dreadful start.
Other than that it was a first half of aerial ping pong with both sides deciding that going to the air would provide more headaches than not.
It was a style of play the Waratahs have not employed all season, making their life tough in front of a hostile crowd celebrating halfback Andy Ellis's 150th game for the Crusaders.
The Waratahs scrum was passable, lineouts still susceptible, but they simply couldn't match their clinical trans-Tasman rivals who continue to build a strong case for being title favourites.
Meanwhile, Jed Holloway's luck just keeps getting worse – he left the field early in the second half with what appeared to be a recurrence of the shoulder injury that has kept him out of action the last few weeks.
"We always knew it was a risk and until we've had a proper assessment, at the moment it looks like he may have injured that," Gibson said.


Right nicotine strength is like the right perfume for your date or other significant occasions. Sometimes we need more nicotine to clear the mind, sometimes we just practice vapor tricks with less nicotine. When vaping, we enjoy not only the cloud exhaled from our mouth or immersing ourselves in our favorite flavor, but also feeling the hit in the lungs and throat. As the different nicotine strengths can bring various vaping experiences, these are some reasons to choose the right nicotine strength for our own preferences.

How Did 'We' Get it 'Wrong' With Buhari?
Posted by: Editor in Breaking news, Business, Features September 14, 2016	0 530 Views
Editor's note: With the continued increase in prices of goods and services across Nigeria and other challenges facing the country the main focus of many Nigerians is survival. As other months of this economic environment will be a harsh road the people continue blaming the government of President Muhammadu Buhari for this hardship. Gege who shares his views through Medium in this piece advises Nigerians to delve into the personalities of candidates in the next presidential election in 2019.
Buhari was elected president in 2015 by a broad coalition of interests. Capitalists, socialists, unitarists and regionalists all united to ensure that he won the elections. By all accounts, it appears that the regionalists and capitalists are unhappy with his performance to date. They seem to imply that he deceived them either actively or passively by playing along with their plans. They claim they were led to believe that he would place the private sector at the heart of his governance strategy but his actions to date have been a betrayal of that promise.
As 2019 approaches, how can the 'free marketers' ensure that they won't be deceived by another 'socialist' masquerading as a capitalist? I think the answer to the question requires us to apply ourselves more rigorously to the manner in which we select candidates. In the US and UK, the candidates present manifestos but there is also an implicit understanding that elections go beyond the manifesto. A critical analysis of the candidates' personality must also take place. Their reasoning is simple. Circumstances change so it possible that a manifesto becomes redundant but what won't change is the person who is in charge of government. For example, a manifesto might have promised that Sunday Oliseh would be sacked as Nigeria's coach but the promise would be redundant because he resigned.
That is why analysts in advanced democracies go beyond manifesto promises. They seek to understand a candidate's ideology, his decision making processes and his character. They are the things that will determine how a he reacts to unforeseen events when he gets into office. For example, David Cameron is a capitalist by ideology and Jeremy Corbyn is a socialist by ideology. So it's logical to assume that if confronted with the fuel subsidy problem, Cameron would have opted to remove the subsidy whilst Corbyn would have insisted on retaining them.
In the Nigerian case, these issues are more critical because the President is so powerful that no godfather can control him. Therefore once he moves into Aso Rock, his decisions will be a reflection of his core principles. This is why it was no surprise that Buhari balked at the decision to float the naira. It went against his core principle, socialism. So in 2019, it will not be enough to say, Elrufai promised X or Atiku promised Y. We must ask ourselves, what would Elrufai or Atiku instinctively do when confronted with a crisis? Are they democrats by instinct? Are they diplomats by instinct? Are they capitalists by instinct? Are they compassionate by instinct? In summary, I think the 2015 error was the failure of capitalists to consider the personality and ideology of Buhari before they chose to support him. It will never be enough to read and analyse manifestos. We must always delve into the personalities of candidates and understand the core of their ideologies and characters.

Q: Check is string from array I have multiple arrays and i wish to check if the string selcted by random from one array is in another array and if so show an image
I have globaly set plistarray1 and plistarray2 in the h file  and in the m file i have the following
The last block of code is what im strugling with i cant get an image to display based on the random string generated from plistarray.
NSUserDefaults *defaults =[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];

NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:
                  @"data" ofType:@"plist"];

if ([[defaults objectForKey:@"truthonoff"] isEqualToString:@"YES"] && [[defaults objectForKey:@"dareonoff"] isEqualToString:@"YES"]  ) {

        self.text.text =@"Are you ready for this?";
    [Animations fadeIn:self.text andAnimationDuration:1.0 andWait:YES];

        NSDictionary *plistDict1 = [[NSDictionary alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:path];
        NSArray * plistArray1 = plistDict1[@"truth"];

        NSDictionary *plistDict2 = [[NSDictionary alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:path];
        NSArray *plistArray2 = plistDict2[@"dare"];

        self.plistArray = [[plistArray1 arrayByAddingObjectsFromArray:plistArray2] mutableCopy];

    }

    else if ([[defaults objectForKey:@"truthonoff"] isEqualToString:@"YES"] ) {

        self.text.text =@"I hope you are feeling brave!";
        [Animations fadeIn:self.text andAnimationDuration:1.0 andWait:YES];

        NSDictionary *plistDict3 = [[NSDictionary alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:path];

        NSArray *plistArray3 = plistDict3[@"truth"] ;

        self.plistArray = [plistArray3 mutableCopy];

        NSLog(@"%@", plistArray);

    }

    else if ([[defaults objectForKey:@"dareonoff"] isEqualToString:@"YES"] ) {

        self.text.text =@"This could be interesting!";
        [Animations fadeIn:self.text andAnimationDuration:1.0 andWait:YES];

        NSDictionary *plistDict4 = [[NSDictionary alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:path];

        NSMutableArray *plistArray4 = plistDict4[@"dare"];

        self.plistArray = [plistArray4 mutableCopy];

        NSLog(@"%@", plistArray);

    }
    else {
        self.text.text =@"Please turn on Truth or Dare";
        [Animations fadeIn:self.text andAnimationDuration:1.0 andWait:YES];

    }

        ////display random quote from array

    int randV = arc4random() % self.plistArray.count;
        NSLog(@"%@", plistArray);

        self.text.text = self.plistArray[randV];
        [self.plistArray removeObjectAtIndex:randV];
        [Animations fadeIn:self.text andAnimationDuration:1.0 andWait:YES];

        //display truth or dare image
        if ([plistArray containsObject:plistArray1]) {
            // selectedString is from the truth array
            self.truthimage.hidden = NO;

        }

A: Judging from what I think your code is saying you are checking to see if one plistArray is within the other plistArray. You just want to check if a string is contained in the array. You are close. Try this:
if ([plistArray1 containsObject:self.text.text]) {
            // selectedString is from the truth array
            self.truthimage.hidden = NO;
}

It's hard to follow what you're doing because of some of the variable names. Consider choosing more descriptive names so it's easier to pick up on what is going on.

A: Your code checks if the plistArray contains plistArray1 object, which it does not (initially, it contains every single object from plistArray1, but not the plistArray1 object itself).
Your code should be checking for the presence of the text, like this:
// Obtain the random quote that you plan to display
NSString* toDisplay = self.plistArray[randV];
// Display the quote
self.text.text = toDisplay;
// Remove that quote from the plistArray
[self.plistArray removeObjectAtIndex:randV];
[Animations fadeIn:self.text andAnimationDuration:1.0 andWait:YES];
// Now's the fix: check plistArray1 for the toDisplay object
if ([plistArray1 containsObject:toDisplay]) {
    // selectedString is from the truth array
    self.truthimage.hidden = NO;
}

This code can be made more efficient if you replace plistArray1 with a set, which would let you check containment in amortized constant, rather than linear, time.
EDIT : (in response to this comment: "The plistArray1 is being brought back as nil")
This is because you have declared plistArray1 as a local variable in your method, in addition to having an instance variable by the same name. Replace this line
NSArray * plistArray1 = plistDict1[@"truth"];

with this
plistArray1 = plistDict1[@"truth"];

to fix the problem.


Just some brief thoughts today on having a spirit of gratitude. I had the pleasure of speaking at my local ACFW chapter this past weekend, the DFW Ready Writers, now DFW-ACFW. And in my closing remarks, I spoke about working with a spirit of thankfulness.
Sometimes in this world, we're frustrated with our job, marriage, family, co-workers and more. But what would happen if we approached each day with an attitude of thankfulness. Being thankful that we have a job, home, spouse, family and more.
How would that change your attitude?
Below are my closing comments from the speaking engagement with DFW-ACFW. It's geared toward writers, but I think all of us can find a nugget worth thinking about.
We all know this is a tough business… but we all know that God has called us here. Called us to write. So, while he equips us to do the hard work that must be done, we also need to trust Him to get our words into the hands of the reader who needs to see that message the most. So, we can get twisted up with are we doing enough marketing, do we have the right platform, etc. That's all important. But we also need to trust God.
Remember to pray over your work daily… daily.
Do your work with a spirit of gratitude…thanking God for your abilities and thanking him for what he's going to do with your story…. Place it before God as an offering. The audience of one!
Walk Worthy of Your Calling.
Whatever we're called to do in this life — we need to walk worthy.


"Ignore them and they'll go away" is great advice for some of life's annoyances. Unfortunately, it doesn't apply to taxes. While the IRS has taken great pains to rehab its scary image (and is actually pretty decent to deal with), it still can and will go after people who blow off their taxes and deliver some pretty expensive consequences.
Will the IRS even notice your missing return among the millions it processes? "They will, no question," says Craig Wild, partner at Wild, Maney & Resnick, LLP. "Within 30 days you will get a notice." The agency will keep trying to get in touch with you via mail for about six months, give or take, before stepping it up with phone calls.
At this point, you'll owe failure to file penalties if you didn't file. According to the IRS's website, the total late-filing penalty is around 5% of the tax owed for each month, or part of a month that your return is late, up to five months. If your return is more than 60 days late, the minimum penalty for late filing is either $135 or 100% of the tax owed, depending on which one is smaller.
If you filed a return but didn't send the IRS what you owed, you'll be hit with a late payment penalty, plus the interest on your outstanding tax bill itself, which is the current federal short-term interest rate plus 3%.
How much you'll pay overall depends on how much you owe and for how long you put off filing and/or paying. The IRS is pretty flexible about giving taxpayers more time to pay via installment plans. In addition to the penalties and interest for paying late, you also have to pay a one-time fee of $52 or $104 (depending on your income and how you intend to pay).
Don't do that, though, and things could get ugly. Generally, the IRS won't hit you with a lien unless you're delinquent for years, but a lien is a huge headache. Officially, "The federal tax lien is a legal claim to your property, including property that you acquire after the lien arises," the IRS website says. If you have outstanding back taxes, the agency also can claim any refund you would have been entitled to and put it toward that debt.
Liens are public record, which means that credit reporting agencies gather that information and include it in your credit report. "A tax lien is considered a serious derogatory in the vein of a foreclosure or a collection," says Anthony Sprauve, spokesman at Fair Isaac Corporation. "So someone's credit score as a result of that is going to take a serious hit." Depending on other factors in your credit history, that could be in the neighborhood of 100 to 150 points.
Unlike other debts, which eventually drop from your credit report even if you don't pay them, that lien will stay on your report indefinitely as long as it's outstanding. If you settle with the IRS for less than what you owe, it will stay on your credit report for 7 years, says John Ulzheimer, president of consumer education at SmartCredit.com.
That used to be the case for liens paid in full, too, Ulzheimer says. But a year ago, the IRS made a new rule, a "carrot" to get delinquent taxpayers to pay their back taxes in full. If you pay in full, you can ask the IRS to withdraw the lien, which will remove it from your credit report immediately.
If the IRS has its way in the future, big-time scofflaws won't even be able to scoot out of the country to avoid a tax bill. Legislation currently in Congress would give the State Department the right to "deny, revoke or limit" the passport of anyone who owed the IRS more than $50,000 and wasn't making any effort to repay it.

Authorities struggle to pinpoint the motives of a high school student in Washington State who opened fire in a cafeteria at lunchtime, shooting five people in the head, one fatally, before killing himself with a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
A high school student in Washington State who opened fire in a cafeteria at lunchtime, shooting five people in the head, one fatally, before killing himself with a self-inflicted gunshot wound, had recently been crowned freshman homecoming prince.
Two law enforcement sources identified the gunman as Jaylen Ray Fryberg, a freshman at Marysville Pilchuck High School, north of Everett. Jaylen pulled out a small handgun and opened fire on a table full of students, killing a girl and wounding four other people, three of them critically, police and witnesses said.
Fryberg was a member of a prominent family from the nearby Tulalip Indian tribe and a freshman who played on the high school football team.
Classmates said that Fryberg had recently gotten into an argument with another student that had racial overtones, and law enforcement sources said he may have been in recent disputes over a girl. In posts on Twitter, Fryberg seemed heartbroken over a breakup.
Fryberg's social media accounts include photos of him wearing traditional Native American dress and making numerous references to the Tulalip Tribes and hunting.
A law enforcement source said that the gunman Friday used a small pistol. Doug Dawson, special agent in charge of the Seattle office of the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, said the weapon was legally acquired.
was dating. But on July 20, he stopped tweeting for more than a month, resuming in late August with a series of heartbroken tweets.
Students said the gunman was staring at his victims as he shot them inside the cafeteria at Marysville-Pilchuck High School.
Three of the victims had head wounds and were in critical condition. Two unidentified young women were at Providence Everett Medical Center, and 15-year-old Andrew Fryberg was at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.
Another victim, 14-year-old Nate Hatch, was listed in serious condition at Harborview, the hospital said.
The last school shooting incident in the region to occur was June 5 at Seattle Pacific University, where a gunman killed one student and wounded two others.

North Carolina junior forward Tyler Zeller has been named the recipient of the 2011 "Skip" Prosser Award, emblematic of the top scholar-athlete in men's basketball, ACC Commissioner John Swofford announced today.
Wake Forest head basketball coach George Edward "Skip" Prosser passed away on July 26, 2007. Prosser compiled a 291-146 career record in 14 seasons as a head coach, including a 126-68 mark in his six years with the Demon Deacons. The 2003 ACC Coach of the Year, Prosser won 20-plus games and led Wake Forest to the NCAA Tournament in each of his first four seasons in Winston-Salem and brought the school its first outright ACC regular season title in 2003. Every Wake Forest senior he coached graduated, and the Deacons placed nine players on the annual All-ACC Academic Basketball Team during his tenure.
In order to be nominated for the award, a student-athlete must be an upperclassman with a grade-point average of 3.0 or better - both in his career and in the previous two semesters. Sixty percent of the award is based on academic achievement and 40 percent on athletic accomplishments.
In addition to being a three-time honoree on the All-ACC Academic Basketball team and a two-time member of the ACC Academic Honor Roll, Zeller was named UNC's 2010-11 Athletic Director Scholar-Athlete of the Year for Men's Basketball. The business administration major from Washington, Ind., is also a 2011 Capital One Academic All-American and was a Capital One Academic All-District First Team selection. Zeller has earned Dean's List honors three times at UNC and is a Student-Athlete Advisory Committee representative.
A second-team All-ACC selection this season, Zeller played integral part in the sixth-ranked Tar Heels' finish atop the ACC regular-season standings. Zeller enters the 2011 ACC Tournament leading the conference in field goal percentage (.541) while ranking eighth in scoring (14.6 ppg) and in rebounding (7.1 rpg).
Zeller has earned UNC's defensive player of the game honor nine times this season and has scored 24 points-or-more on three occasions, including a career-high 27-point effort in a win over Kentucky on Dec. 4.

School of Rock Students Around the World to Compose and Perform Original Songs With Launch of New Songwriting Program
June 11, 2020IN THE PRESS
School of Rock, the leader in performance-based music education, has launched a new Songwriting Program this month teaching the fundamentals of songwriting, arrangement and music theory to help students compose original works. The program will become available to schools throughout the month.
As part of the program, students will have one weekly private lesson on an instrument of their choice where they learn concepts, technique and theory. These principles are then applied in weekly group lessons where students work together on songwriting exercises and lyrical workshops. Every few months, Songwriting Program students will take the stage to perform their original compositions at a local music venue. Or, for those taking the program online, they will remotely record their original songs to produce a demo of the music.
"Our goal is to build the world's largest community of songwriters," said Rob Price, CEO of School of Rock. "Our global community of music teachers will teach students a wide variety of songwriting principles to help them express their musical ideas. Topics include chord progression theory, song arrangement, overcoming writer's block, songwriting collaboration, lyric construction and more."
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, School of Rock launched School of Rock Remote where students use video conferencing during their regularly scheduled lesson times to gain access to their skilled music instructor. That has expanded with entire groups of students collaborating online together from their own remote locations. The idea of embracing songwriting will take that experience to a whole new level.
School of Rock provides students of all ages an exciting and engaging learning environment for taking guitar lessons, drum lessons, bass lessons, keyboard lessons, and singing lessons. Drawing from all styles of rock and roll, School of Rock students learn theory and techniques via songs from legendary artists such as Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, and Frank Zappa.
