Millennials Are All Grown Up
lagis72
This means that the Millennials are assuming more leadership roles in the workplace. Millennials face an uphill battle overcoming a string of infamous corporate scandals. Are they going to be led by the dollar or are "people" going to be their top concern? Millennials have been unfairly labeled "as being selfish" but in actuality they take the time and effort to understand the issues and not blindly followed established practices. A Pew Research Center study reported that they actually have a more positive future outlook than Baby Boomers did at their age, 49% of Millennials said that the country's best years are ahead as compared to 44% of Baby Boomers at the same age. I for one have faith that Millennials will become the next Great Generation, solving many of today's problems.

Q: Checkboxes generated using aura:iteration is not clickable I am trying to generate list of check boxes using the aura:iteration and list of checkboxes are getting displayed. But only the first checkbox is clickable and rest of the checkboxes i am not able to select/ not clickable. Any reason why they are not clickable?

        <aura:iteration items="{!v.data}" var="category">

                <input class="msg" type="checkbox" name="options" id="checkbox-unique-id-84" value="{!category.capCategory}" disabled="" />

                    {!category.capCategory}

        </aura:iteration>

A: You're giving all of your checkboxes the same html id. I believe you'll need to make this unique for each checkbox, normally by using some attribute of the current-row in the iteration:
<input class="msg" type="checkbox" name="options" id="**checkbox-unique-id-84**"...

Should be:
<input class="msg" type="checkbox" name="options" id="{category.something}"

You'll also want to update the 'for' property in the label.

Q: IndexOutOfBounds Exception I'm trying a small program that would read a file, convert that to a array of bytes and zip the bytes and return the zipped bytes back as an array. However, I'm getting IndexOutOfBounds thrown. Here is what I have so far tried!
private def getBytePayload(): Array[Byte] = {
  val inputJson: String = Source.fromURL(getClass.getResource("/small_json.txt")).mkString

  val bin: ByteArrayInputStream = new ByteArrayInputStream(inputJson.getBytes())
  val bos: ByteArrayOutputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream()

  println("The unCompressed stream size is = " + inputJson.size) // Prints 5330

  val gzip: GZIPOutputStream = new GZIPOutputStream(bos)

  val buff = new Array[Byte](1024)

  var len = 0
  while((len = bin.read(buff)) != -1) {
    gzip.write(buff, 0, len) // java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException is thrown!
  }

  println("The compressed stream size is = " + bos.toByteArray.size)

  bos.toByteArray
}

Any pointers as to what has gone wrong?

A: As far as what the problem is, I'm not exactly sure. However, the following code should be revealing. See what it it tells you:
val buff = new Array[Byte](1024)

var len = 0
while((len = bin.read(buff)) != -1) {

   //Print out actual contents of buff:

   for(int i = 0; i < buff.length; i++)  {
      System.out.print(i + "=" + buff[i] + ", ");
   }
   System.out.println();

   gzip.write(buff, 0, len) // java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException is thrown!
}

This is just my style-opinion, but I personally find this confusing
while((len = bin.read(buff)) != -1) {

and would change it to
len = bin.read(buff);
while(len != -1)  {

   //do stuff

   len = bin.read(buff);
}

The Best Chicago Sports Teams Ever
If you are going to try and make a list of the best Chicago teams ever, you have to make some choices.
Mar 30 2021 | 15 min read
Chicago is one of the best sports towns in the world and has seen some great teams. Fun teams. Tough teams. Colorful teams.
Sadly, not all of them were winners.
If we were to make a list of the best Chicago teams ever, we realized we were going to be forced to make some choices. When looking back through the years, we ultimately decided on one initial requirement to set our standard and begin to whittle our list down. That one question that jumped out immediately...
Did they win it all?
For this list, no matter how memorable they were to your personal lifetime or how great the team looked on paper, if they didn't win it all, they're out. That's the starting point.
After that question, we looked at the overall margin of victory to separate them further. In essence, how dominant was that team in its era?
Finally, we compared the best winners to other historic teams. Teams that won multiple championships were given the edge over teams that, no matter how dominant, could only put it all together for one season.
Without further ado, here are the best Chicago sports teams of all-time.
10. 1917 White Sox
The 1917 Chicago White Sox included almost all the same players that were on the team in 1919, including all 8 of the "Black Sox" that were banned from baseball, but this team certainly was not out to lose games. Not only did this team post the best record in baseball, their 1917 season with 100 wins is the only 100 win season in White Sox club history.
They led the league in runs scored and were dominant from the pitcher's mound. Though it was the dead ball era, the entire pitching staff finished the season with a league-leading combined ERA of 2.16. Their ace starting pitcher, Eddie Cicotte (one of the Black Sox players) finished 1917 with 28 wins and a 1.53 ERA in the regular season.
While the issue would not come to a head until two years later, this was the first year that the rumblings and rumors began to circulate that some baseball players were throwing games for money. Perhaps ironically, though they were involved in the World Series, these first accusations weren't made against the White Sox but rather their opponents. Members of the 1917 New York Giants would be first accused of taking money from the Jewish mafia.
Specifically, Game 6 of the 1917 World Series, that would clinch the title for the White Sox, featured a famous rundown in which former Chicago Cubs player and New York Giants' third baseman Heinie Zimmerman futilely chased Eddie Collins toward home plate with what would be the Series-winning run. Catcher Bill Rariden had run up the third base line to start a rundown, expecting pitcher Rube Benton or first baseman Walter Holke to cover the plate. However, neither of them budged, forcing Zimmerman to chase Collins while pawing helplessly in the air with the ball in an attempt to tag him. A triple crown winner in 1912, Zimmerman denied throwing the 1917 World Series, but he would eventually be banned for life due to various accusations of corruption.
Fun Fact: The great athlete Jim Thorpe was listed in the lineup card as starting in right field in Game 5 but, for his turn at bat in the top of the first inning, he was replaced by a left-handed hitting Dave Robertson.
9. 1907 Cubs
Every Cubs fan knows the poem.
These are the saddest of possible words:
"Tinker to Evers to Chance."
Trio of bear cubs, and fleeter than birds,
Tinker and Evers and Chance.
Ruthlessly pricking our gonfalon bubble,
Making a Giant hit into a double –
Words that are heavy with nothing but trouble:
Mostly due to Franklin Pierce Adams' poem rather than the overall quality of their play, Frank Chance (1B), Joe Tinker (SS), and Johnny Evers (2B) formed perhaps the most famous infield in baseball history. Harry Steinfeldt remains the relatively unknown missing piece at 3rd base but, unfortunately for ol' Harry, I guess Franklin Pierce Adams didn't think the name Steinfeldt lent itself to poetic meter. Maybe it was a simple 'rule of threes" and he had to take some artistic license? Still, though he wasn't immortalized in rhyme, he was a vital part of that infield.
To prove we were serious with the whole winning thing we said above, the 1906 team was undoubtedly the best of this group but they lost in the World Series. The 1908 team was probably the most famous if only for the fact that they spent the next 108 years being brought up in commiseration. So the 1907 team, the first year the organization was called the Chicago Cubs and the year of their first World Series win, makes this list.
While some say this group was among the best teams in the history of the National League, we struggle to rank teams from the dead ball era very high. That said, this team followed up 1906's 116 win season by finishing in first place in the 1907 National League standings with a record of 107–45, good for 17 games ahead of the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Frank Chance led the team in batting average (.293), Harry Steinfeldt led the team in hits (144) and RBIs (70), while Johnny Evers and Frank Schulte tied for the team lead in home runs having both slugged 2 each. In Evers' and Schulte's defense, the dimensions of West Side Park where the Cubs played at the time was 560 feet to center. Dead ball era or no dead ball era, in a park like that, there weren't a lot of home runs to be had.
The 1907 team had 7 pitchers throw greater than 123 innings. While it was the dead ball era and pitchers had significant advantages that wouldn't be ruled out of the game until 1920, all but one of them had under a 1.69 ERA.
This team included a young Heinie Zimmerman off the bench, who makes an appearance elsewhere on this list for other reasons, and legendary pitcher Mordecai "Three-Finger" Brown. Due to a farm-machinery accident in his youth, Brown lost parts of two fingers on his right hand. He turned this handicap into an advantage by learning how to grip a baseball in a way that resulted in what most modern players would recognize as the knuckle-curve.
The 1907 Chicago Cubs swept the Detroit Tigers and their 20-year-old batting champion, Ty Cobb, in the World Series.
Little known fact, the group of four infielders including Steinfeldt, held the record for the longest consistent infield play, starting together for 5 straight seasons from 1906 through 1910, until the Los Angeles Dodgers infield broke the record in the late-1970s. Also little known, Tinker and Evers hated each other. They hated each other so much, in fact, on September 14, 1905, Tinker and Evers engaged in a fistfight on the field because Evers had taken a cab to the stadium and left his teammates behind in the hotel lobby. Despite playing in the same infield for the next seven seasons, they apparently did not speak to each other again until 1937, at a Wrigley Field Old Timer's Game honoring Frank Chance, who died in 1924.
8. 2005 White Sox
In 2005, the Chicago Cubs were getting all the press for having the longest championship drought in sports but, at the time, the Chicago White Sox were not far behind with their own 88 year gap.
From the jump, the 2005 White Sox took off fast and led their division all year. They tapered off in the latter half of the season, but the real story of the 2005 White Sox was their postseason dominance. They swept the Boston Red Sox 3-0 in the ALDS, went 4-1 against the Los Angeles Angels in the ALCS, and swept the Houston Astros 4-0 in the World Series.
Particularly notable, after losing the first game to the Los Angeles Angels in the ALCS (in which White Sox pitcher, José Contreras, went 8 and 1/3rd innings), the White Sox starting pitchers threw four straight complete games to win four consecutive games. Those consecutive complete games in the postseason was a feat that has never happened before and we can't imagine happening again. The White Sox bullpen was only used for two outs in the entire series, during that first game.
The 11-1 postseason record for the 2005 Chicago White Sox is tied for first all-time in a single postseason.
7. 1961 Blackhawks
The easiest way to sum up the '61 Blackhawks championship is as follows:
The 1961 Blackhawks won the only title not won by the Canadiens, Red Wings, or Toronto Maple Leafs during the Original Six era, this was the only Stanley Cup championship in the 1960s not to be won by either the Toronto Maple Leafs or the Montreal Canadiens or feature either team, and this was the only title won by a U.S. team between 1955 and 1970.
The team started the regular season strong but quickly slumped and fell below .500 record. They recovered and finished with their best year since 1945 and in 3rd place.
While future hall of famers Bobby Hull and Stan Mikita get most of the press these days, this season it was Bill Hay who led the team in points and goaltender Glenn Hall who helped carry the team.
In the semifinals, the Blackhawks upset the five-time defending champions, the Montreal Canadians, winning in Game 6 at the old Chicago Stadium.
The team then also beat the favored Detroit Red Wings in the final in six games. Defenseman Pierre Pilote lead the series with 15 points, followed by the Golden Jet, Bobby Hull, who had 14 points.
6. 1941 Bears
There may as well not have been any other football teams in the 1940s because the Chicago Bears were the football team of the 1940s.
Building on their success of the previous decade (in which they played in four championship games and won two), the Bears of the 1940s played in five championship games and won four.
Some would say it was the 1940 team that beat the Washington Redskins 73-0 in the final that should be listed here, but we disagree because the 1940 team only went 8-3 in the regular season and had a comparitively low point differential. Others would say it should be the 1942 team that went undefeated in the regular season and had the highest point differential in franchise history but, as we said above, they lost in the title game which is an automatic disqualifier for this list.
We chose the 1941 Chicago Bears because they went 10-1 in the regular season, finished with the 3rd best point differential in franchise history (behind the '42 and '85 team), and won the title defeating the New York Giants 37-9.
"Finally..."
"At last..."
"Thank God..."
Whatever other descriptor fans wanted to use to try and attempt to describe how they felt, they could and should be forgiven for whatever they say. The drought (and the curse) was over and the lovable losers were losers no more.
But it was not luck.
It had been 108 years since the 5th ranked team on our list had last won the Cubs franchise a title. Generation after generation after generation came and went without seeing the Cubs win it all.
Most would argue it all began after Theo Epstein was brought in to run the organization in 2011. Epstein, having delivered the Boston Red Sox an end to their title drought, was brought to town and was practically begged to please bring his analytics to change the culture and approach to development and to break the curse.
Drafting young hitters and recruiting veteran pitchers, everything Theo seemed to choose to do worked and, under manager Joe Maddon's guidance, the team started hot. By the end of April they already had the best record in baseball, at 17-5. By June they had the best run differential and the pitchers were among the best combined ERAs. By end of July they held the best of all major categories and the city really began to hum, "this could be the year..."
They finished the season with the best record in baseball and up 17.5 games. They had two MVP candidates in Anthony Rizzo and Kris Bryant, three Gold Glove candidates, and three Cy Young candidates in Arrieta, Lester, and Hendricks.
Playing against the Cleveland Indians in the World Series, the team went down 3-1 heading into Game 5 and many fans thought what so many other generations through the years had, "There's always next year..."
But the Cubs came back and, at the end of 9 innings in Game 7, the teams were tied heading into extras. Then, what is forever known in Chicago as "The Rain Delay from God," the skies opened up and rained for 17 minutes, giving the team time to talk and collect themselves.
The Cubs would win 8-7 in what many call baseball's greatest Game 7 ever played, and end the longest losing streak in all of American sports.
4. 1963 Loyola Ramblers
While Loyola University is one of the largest Catholic universities in the United States, when people first think of the "Greatest College Basketball Teams of All-Time," their minds don't immediately go to the comparatively small program university on the North Side of Chicago. But the 1962-1963 Loyola Ramblers basketball team was one of the greatest college basketball teams of all-time, in more ways than one, and one of the greatest Chicago sports teams ever.
At a time when segregation and Jim Crow laws still existed, and some teams would not play against teams with black players, Loyola head coach George Ireland was the first to break the so-called "gentlemen's agreement" among coaches in which no more than two black players would be on the floor at one time, and began starting four and sometimes all black players. Ireland's team, led by All-American Jerry Harkness and Les Hunter, compiled a 23–2 regular season record and finished first in the country in scoring.
During their second round in their march through the NCAA tournament, the Loyola Ramblers and the Mississippi State Bulldogs met on March 15, 1963, at Jenison Fieldhouse in East Lansing, Michigan. Forever remembered as the "Game of Change" between the integrated Loyola team and the all-white Mississippi State team, it was a milestone in the desegregation of college basketball. In defense of the team from Mississippi State, while it was "unwritten law" in Mississippi at the time that they could not play teams with black players, they defied the segregationists to meet and play against Loyola and they did at full strength.
The Ramblers eventually reached the finals, where they faced two-time defending champion Cincinnati. Loyola trailed Cincinnati by 15 points with 10 minutes left in the game, but the Ramblers rallied to force overtime, winning the game 60–58 with a last-second tip-in by Vic Rouse.
The 1963 Loyola Ramblers remain the only school in Illinois to have won an NCAA Division I basketball championship.
We almost feel as if we don't need to say anything about the 1985 Chicago Bears. To this day, if you turn on Chicago sports radio they're still one of the most talked about Chicago teams in history.
Da Bears. Daaaaaaaa Bears.
In fairness, it's for good reason. They were one of the best NFL teams of all time and a beloved cast of characters in and around the city. They made football and the Chicago sports landscape better simply for having fun.
The '85 Bears talked shit and backed it up with the hits, both on and off the field. So bold was this team that two months prior to their eventual Super Bowl win, they recorded and released "The Super Bowl Shuffle," a brazen rap song that peaked at #41 on the Billboard charts.
It helped that they had one of the best, if not the best, running backs of all time in Walter Payton. It also helped that they had one of the best, if not the best, defenses of all time.
One would think having so much attitude in one locker room would conflict and not work, but their egos were not a weakness it was a strength. And they used it wholeheartedly.
After posting a 15–1 record in the regular season, 'Da Coach' Mike Ditka and the Bears steamrolled through the playoffs. They shutout the Giants 21–0, shutout the Rams 24–0, and won the title against the Patriots in Super Bowl XX with a final score of 46–10.
Unfortunately, after losing defensive coordinator, Buddy Ryan, and after some say so many parties after the '85 championship, they wouldn't be able to put it all together again and lost the divisional playoffs in 1986. Still, the facts remain that this squad was one of the best, and most memorable, teams to ever grace an athletic field.
And, if you don't believe us, they'll be happy to tell you.
This may be the most controversial team ranking on this list, not only because we know there will be many upset that we put this team ahead of the '85 Bears, but because choosing between the three Chicago Blackhawks Stanley Cup winning teams from the early 2010s decade is difficult even for the players and staff involved. Coach Quenneville, for example, thought the 2010 team was the deepest and physically most imposing team, and it's hard to argue with the Coach.
We admit, it was difficult to choose a lockout year team but we have our reasons and we ultimately decided the '13 Blackhawks were the best. Jonathan "The Captain" Toews agrees.
When asked, Toews told the NHL, "I would say in the lockout year we seemed to just come out on a mission. We had a great, short regular season. It just felt like nothing was going to stop us there. So if I had to pick one, I'd say that's it."
Marian Hossa also agrees. "It was unbelievable," Hossa said. "I think we set some record at the start. It was a short season, everyone was kind of refreshed, it was a beautiful run and we went all the way. It was one of the, I wouldn't say easy seasons, but everything went our way."
After nearly zero changes to the organization in the offseason, including players and staff, the '13 Blackhawks opened the year by setting not only a franchise record but an NHL record for most consecutive wins to start the season. Prior to March 8th, the team was 21-0-3 before finally losing to the Colorado Avalanche. When extended back into the 2011-2012 season, the streak of 24-0-6 was second longest streak in NHL history. Ray Emery broke Glen Hall's franchise record of most consecutive wins, and Emery and Corey Crawford won the William M. Jennings Trophy.
The 2013 team won the franchise's second NHL Presidents' Trophy.
The playoffs were not a cakewalk. They were put on the precipice of elimination in the semifinals to the 7th seed Detroit Red Wings but the Blackhawks came back to win Game 7 in overtime. After beating the Los Angeles Kings in the Western Conference Finals, Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals against the Boston Bruins went to 12:08 of the third overtime period, which was almost nearly two regulation NHL games. They would win the Stanley Cup in Game 6.
The Blackhawks became just the eighth team to win both the Cup and the Presidents' Trophy in the same season. Patrick Kane was awarded the Conn Smythe Trophy as the playoff Most Valuable Player, becoming the first American-born forward and fourth American-born player to receive this award.
1. 1996 Bulls
You've made it this far. Could our #1 pick have been any other? No.
Do we even need to describe why we chose them as the best? No.
In truth, choosing the '96 Chicago Bulls as the best of the best was easy. We know it. You know it. Basketball fans worldwide know it. Michael Jordan knows it and he'll ask if you wanna bet he can prove it to you if you don't believe him.
In truth, half of this list probably could have been teams from the '90s Chicago Bulls. Still, when arguing between the six championship winning teams, the '96 Bulls remain arguably the greatest team in NBA history and the best of the best of the best that Chicago has ever seen. We say they were.
It helps when the team has the greatest player the sport has ever seen.
They were the first team to win 70 regular season games and set the record for most wins in an NBA regular season in which they won the championship, finishing with 72 wins and 10 losses. The regular season record was broken by the 2015–16 Golden State Warriors, who finished 73–9 but would go on to lose in the 2016 NBA Finals.
The Bulls' started the 1995-1996 season with a record of 37–0 at home and finished the season with an overall 39-2 record at the United Center. Their 33 road wins was also the NBA record until being broken by the 2016 Golden State Warriors (34) who, again, as a reminder, lost in the 2016 NBA Finals. The Bulls swept the Miami Heat 3–0 in the first round of the playoffs, defeated the New York Knicks 4–1 in five games of the semifinals, then swept the Orlando Magic 4–0 in the Conference Finals. They then defeated the Seattle SuperSonics 4–2 in the 1996 NBA Finals, winning their fourth NBA title in six seasons.
The '96 Bulls still have the best combined regular and postseason record in NBA history at 87–13 (.870) in which the team won the championship.
They would go on to win two more, completing their second "three-peat" but, of all six Championships the Chicago Bulls won in the '90s, the 1996 team stood above them all.

Exhibition open, competition entered, exhale!
The exhibition opening went really well, there must have have been 50+ people there, sold a few prints but more importantly, the feedback was really positive. The images looked great printed on handmade art paper and cotton rag canvas and this added to their painterly quality. Many people were to surprised to discover that they were actually photographs and I think that gave my "found painting" concept some resonance.
and see some really interesting work by other photographers. Remember, you can still go in the draw to win a limited edition print if you subscribe to this blog whilst the exhibition is on (until the end of June). All you have to do is click "subscribe" on the bottom lefthand side of this post.
Image of the week: This boat image is a little different from the others in that it's more obvious that it's a boat. It was shot in Newlyn Harbour back in 2007 and I was strangely drawn to it's lack of colour. The metal bands reinforcing the wooden planks reminds me of the black keys on a piano and gives the image a certain musicality.
Record Of The Week coming soon ………….

The Lexus LC 500 is a Beautiful, Luxurious Performance Coupe
Rides February 10, 2017 Frederick J. Goodall

I first saw the Lexus LC 500 at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. I was instantly smitten. The new flagship performance coupe showcases the qualities of design, beauty, engineering and advanced technology that define it as a premium vehicle. The LC 500 isn't simply a car that looks good. It has been engineered in every dimension to deliver a very special driving experience.
The coupe's athletic profile is characterized by its sweeping roofline, which tapers rear-ward from above the centrally positioned cabin to create a distinctive silhouette. Chrome-plated moldings along the side of the glass roof amplify the elegant coupe profile, their rear edges shaped to echo the lines of a traditional Japanese sword. The blacked-out finish to the roof and rear pillars creates a floating effect that visually separates the roof from the rear spoiler.
The prominent front and rear spoilers flare away from the center of the car, housing wide, large-diameter wheels, while the door panels are pulled inwards, creating a powerful three-dimensional form that mirrors the spindle shape of the Lexus grille.
The LC 500 can be outfitted with 20-inch cast aluminum or available 20 and 21-inch forged aluminum alloy wheels.
The dynamic luxury theme of the exterior is carried through into the LC's 2+2 cabin. This space is designed to provide sophistication and intricate attention to detail with a driver-focused cockpit.
Particular attention has been paid to the steering wheel design, with a change in the cross-section around its circumference to allow for variations in grip and twisting of the wrist. New, larger magnesium alloy paddle shifters allow for easier hooking with the fingertips and a substantial feel when used.
Driving-related switches and controls are arrayed in a control zone that is concentrated immediately around the steering wheel. These include the paddle shifters, steering wheel combination switches, Drive Mode Select switch, starter button and shift lever. The center console features the latest-generation Remote Touch Interface touchpad control, with quick and intuitive operation.
The performance heart of the LC 500 is Lexus' high-revving (maximum 7,300 rpm), normally aspirated 5.0-liter V8 gasoline engine. Maximum power of 471 hp delivered at 7,100 rpm, with maximum torque of 398 lb.-ft. generated at 4,800 rpm. This gives the LC 500 a zero to 60 mph sprint time of less than 4.5 seconds.
The LC 500 is equipped with Lexus Safety System+, a collection of active safety features that can help the driver avoid an accident, or help lessen the consequences of a collision. The system uses a camera and a millimeter-wave radar to monitor the road ahead for potential hazards and collision risks. This provides the LC with a Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, which is designed to detect vehicles and pedestrians under certain conditions, All-Speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, Lane Departure Alert (LDA) with Steering Assist, a Sway Warning function, and Intelligent High Beam system (IHB).
The Lexus LC 500 will go on sale in the U.S. in Spring 2017.

For me the human body conveys a feeling, an emotion, engaging the viewer with their own personal response."


Poor dental health is a �silent epidemic,� the U.S. surgeon general says, with consequences that affect children now and throughout their lives.
The problem is big, it�s growing, it�s expensive � and it�s very damaging to the lives of both children and their parents. For the first time in 40 years, children�s dental disease is on the rise.
According to Oregon�s Smile Survey, students lost 16,000 school hours in 2007 due to dental pain. Hospitals report that dental disorders are among the most frequently presented problems in the emergency room. A recent Pew Charitable trust report announced that Oregon meets only four out of eight children�s dental health benchmarks, resulting in a grade of C for our state.
We can do better than this. Children deserve to go to school free from pain and ready to learn � a goal that is within our grasp. Caries, the disease that causes cavities, is almost completely preventable, and at a very low cost.
Over the past two years, Oregon Community Foundation volunteers in the southern Willamette Valley region investigated local needs, studied best practices and sought creative solutions to the problems facing the region�s communities.
The volunteers decided to focus on the prevention and remediation of dental disease among children in Benton, Douglas, Lane, Linn, Coos and Curry counties. A similar group representing Oregon�s south Coast also will focus on children�s dental health.
These regional initiatives to promote children�s dental health present a rare opportunity for philanthropic leaders and public policy makers to create better systems and policies that will ensure a strong return on both public and private investments. Agencies on the South Coast and in the southern Willamette Valley are now beginning to receive initial OCF funding for children�s dental health treatment and prevention.
Thanks to this funding, Umpqua Community Health Center and Mercy Foundation will reach nearly every community in Douglas County with screenings, fluoride varnishes, sealants and educational programs. The Albany Boys and Girls Club soon will open its new dental clinic. Children in Lane County will receive services to address acute dental pain and extensive dental care.
All these organizations will be working with local partners to fill gaps in service, ensure access to dental services, provide outreach to rural areas and experiment with new approaches.
The foundation�s Dental Health Initiative provides community agencies with new resources to prevent dental disease and build creative partnerships using social research and community organizing to identify best practices. The rigorous philanthropic process provides distinct ways for donors, public officials and policymakers to foster basic changes to address the root of the problem.
As the results of this work become more apparent, there can be dramatic savings for the state, school districts, dental insurance companies, hospitals and urgent care centers. Most important, children will be healthier and families will be strengthened.
Oregon will be a place that prevents dental disease, instead of paying privately and publicly for the rising costs of pain management and dental restoration. Not to mention, we�ll be alleviating the pain and suffering of children who previously could not obtain dental care.
The foundation has once again proven itself to be a valuable resource. It has provided the funds, staff, volunteers and structure for donors to make a difference in the lives of others based on research evidence, best practices, and cost effective approaches.
The Southern Willamette Region will distribute about $1 million in the four-county area. OCF staff and volunteers have undertaken an extraordinary philanthropic initiative, making it easy to give with confidence, while engaging corporate and public partners to change the underlying conditions that cause dental decay.
The foundation deserves our praise, and its initiatives deserve both public and private support.
Jeff Hale, chairman of the Children�s Dental Health Initiative in the Oregon Community Foundation�s Southern Willamette Region, is assistant dean of external affairs at Oregon State University.


Brisbane: Ukraine's Elina Svitolina laid down her marker as a serious contender for the Australian Open when she demolished Belarusian qualifier Aliaksandra Sasnovich 6-2, 6-1 in the Brisbane International final on Saturday.
Svitolina won five titles on the WTA tour last year, more than any other woman.
She ended the year ranked sixth in the world, but will climb two places when the new rankings are released on Monday and will go into the year's first Grand Slam as the fourth seed.
The 23-year-old had a tough path to the decider, having to overcome two top-10 players, Johanna Konta and Karolina Pliskova, along the way.
She was far too strong for Sasnovich, who struggled to cope both with the Ukrainian's serve and her relentless barrage of groundstrokes from the back of the court.
Sasnovich was playing in her first final on the WTA tour and her nerves showed in the early stages as Svitolina broke her early and raced away to a 3-1 lead.
The Belarusian steadied the ship but she was always under pressure and serving at 2-5, she cracked.
Svitolina pounced, breaking her again and wrapping up the set in 31 minutes.
Sasnovich was also playing her eighth match in nine days and her movement around the court appeared slightly slower than in her previous outings.
Svitolina was even more dominant in the second set, racing to a 5-0 lead before Sasnovich even got on the board.
However, it was a minor reprieve as Svitolina held serve to love to claim her 10th title in just 65 minutes.


With such a strong publicity campaign and hype created around this movie, thanks to a very sinister looking Angelina Jolie, expectations were very high for the movie, and they didn't stay high for long.
Story is adapted from Sleeping Beauty, and it's told from the witch's point of view and why she becomes so evil. She places a curse on the princess, who falls into a sleep of death, and can only be awoken by true love's kiss (and the true love kiss will shock you!) The thing with Maleficent is that the evil character is so good, and brilliant portrayed by Jolie, you root for her and just don't care about anyone else in the movie. You want for her to win, to succeed and live happily ever after.
Everything else, including the not so interesting princess Aurora and prince Philip, along with the three very annoying fairies who I wanted to die, was just plain forgettable and boring. Watch it if you are an Angelina Jolie fan, otherwise just avoid it!


Data is the oil of the 21st century but unlike oil the real value of data can only be realised when it is shared amongst stakeholders. Sharing data means multiplying data, enriching data and analysing data, thereby increasing its business value. But to exchange data in a professional, cost-efficient way requires that appropriate standards, or even better, industry or global standards, are in place. This panel will discuss the status quo and ongoing developments of aviation industry data exchange and provide an overview on local benefits and global developments in technical standards for data exchange, covering both standard data models and IT interface standards.

In large IT companies or captive centres of global multinationals, thousands of assets are in operation in one large building. There are fixed assets such as desktops, landlines and movable ones such as laptops, dongles etc. Manually tagging, tracking and checking each of these assets is tedious, time consuming and prone to errors. It is also tough to track their maintenance schedules and hence assets always carry a risk of not lasting their expected lifetime. Many IT companies are based out of Special Economic Zones (SEZ) and work on their clients' data, hence stringent rules are set. If not adhered to, it can lead to non-compliance and result in monetary as well as reputation damage. Hence, automation in tracking of assets and managing them is paramount for IT and ITes companies.
An RFID system enables IT companies to tag each asset that the employees carry. It can be read at the room/ floor level by room readers and at the entry and exit points. In fact, at the entry/exit points, it can be matched with the employee's details (batch tags, ID card data etc.). It can immediately throw up a discrepancy in data and disallow the asset to enter/leave the premise. It leads to safeguarding the assets and almost a 100% efficiency and accuracy in tracking and management of assets.
With the explosion of data, there are huge data centres in IT companies storing critical data of the company and the customers. With proper tagging of data centre assets and by leveraging RFID, companies are now able to track the data to the row and rack level at the data centre. This is a great improvement over any manual tracking and hence, the maintenance of these assets becomes faster and less time consuming. The companies thus, save on their CAPEX as the life of Data Centre assets increases and ensures seamless operations.
By leveraging RFID, IT companies track their assets and inventory to the most granular level. It also helps the administration teams to track and maintain the history of IT assets and schedule their maintenance accordingly. They can thus, reduce inventory turnaround and enhance efficiencies, and save costs incurred due to unnecessary procurement of assets. With real-time notification, RFID systems also ensure that all maintenances happen in a timely manner thus eliminating breakdowns.
By relying on the power of RFID, the centralized monitoring system can track and filter asset information as per customer, type of asset, location of site, asset ID, manufacturers name etc. This leads to a wealth of drill-down knowledge on asset and provides valuable insights into the purchase decisions.
By leveraging the RFID system, the centralized monitoring system of large IT companies can also create customized reports and alerts about their IT assets all over the world. This is invaluable information as it enables such companies to avert mishaps, save costs and prepare for the future with data driven insights on performance and management of IT assets.


Rafael GOMEZ-RODRIGUEZ was born in Guadix, Provinz Granada, Spain on September 24, 1918. He was one of about 7,000 Spaniards who had fought for democracy and freedom in defense of the Republic in the Spanish Civil War of 1936 to 1939, who fled to France after the Republican forces were overwhelmed by those of General Franco and his German and Italian allies, and were then interned in France before the German conquest of France allowed the Nazis to ship them off to the Mauthausen concentration camp.
The prisoner cards of the »SS Main Economic and Administrative Office« [the SS organization responsible for managing the finances, supply systems and business projects for the SS which also ran the concentration camps and was instrumental in the implementation of the Final Solution] show that 40 of these Spanish Republicans were held in the police jail on the Rudolfsplatz (which was called Georg-von-Schonerer-Platz under the Nazi regime), before they were deported by the Salzburg Gestapo Salzburg to Mauthausen on September 11, 1941. There they were registered as »Spanish Reds«, and Rafael GOMEZ-RODRIGUEZ was prisoner number 4957. On February 1, 1942 he was 23 years old when he was murdered in the Mauthausen-Gusen branch camp.
These 22 Spaniards whose names are now known are some of the Gestapo victims whose names were never entered in the Salzburg police registration files and were not included in the book Widerstand und Verfolgung in Salzburg 1934-1945 [Resistance and Persecution in Salzburg, 1934-1945] published in 1991.
We also now know the names of Spanish Civil War Republican fighters from Salzburg who were either killed in combat in Spain or were murdered in the concentration camps: Walter HINTSCHICH and Franz SCHMIDHAMMER, Johann BRANDTHALER, Richard HOLLEIS, Hubert RANZENBERGER and Anton REITER.
In addition the following Spanish Civil War fighters from Salzburg city and state died either in Spain or in the concentration camps: Josef Bürzer, Georg Freisinger, Konrad Hess, Hermann Moltinger, Franz Morawetz, Franz Nowak, Johann Öttl, Franz Pföss, Franz Riedler, Josef Stöckl and Friedrich Weilhartner. Johann Ziegleder died in Hallein from his severe mistreatment when under arrest.

CINCINNATI – A U.S. District Court jury convicted Dr. Saad Sakkal, 71, of illegally distributing and dispensing controlled substances that led to the death of one victim in 2016. Sakkal was practicing at Lindenwald Medical Association, Inc. in Hamilton.
Benjamin C. Glassman, United States Attorney for the Southern District of Ohio, Lamont Pugh III, Special Agent in Charge, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Inspector General, Timothy J. Plancon, Special Agent in Charge, Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), Anthony Groeber, Executive Director, State Medical Board of Ohio, Steven Schierholt, Executive Director, State of Ohio Board of Pharmacy, Sarah D. Morrison, Administrator, Ohio Bureau of Workers Compensation, announced the verdict reached today following a trial that began April 1 before U.S. District Judge Michael R. Barrett.
"Sakkal had a medical license, but he was the opposite of a doctor – he was dealing deadly drugs under the guise of practicing medicine and even killed one of his 'patients'," U.S. Attorney Glassman said of the jury's verdict. "The penalty for dealing drugs that cause death is at least 20 years and up to life in prison." Judge Barrett will schedule a date for sentencing.
The jury convicted Sakkal of 30 counts of illegal distribution of controlled substances outside the scope of a medical practice and with no legitimate medical purpose, and six counts of use of a registration number that was issued to someone else.
During the trial, prosecutors presented evidence gathered by investigators that Sakkal performed inadequate physical exams to identify and verify patient's complaints of pain, and that he issued prescription combinations that were particularly dangerous and addictive. Pharmacists testified that they warned Sakkal of the risks and eventually refused to fill prescriptions issued by Sakkal. Investigators also testified that Sakkal received repeated notice of addiction, overdoses and deaths, but continued his practices.
A federal grand jury indicted Sakkal in June, 2018. Agents arrested him in Florida after he was indicted. He has been held without bond since his arrest. Judge Barrett ordered him to remain in custody until sentencing.
U.S. Attorney Glassman commended the investigation by the HHS OIG, DEA, Ohio Medical and Pharmacy boards, Bureau of Workers' Compensation and Ohio Attorney General's Medicaid Fraud Unit, as well as Assistant United States Attorneys Timothy Oakley and Timothy Mangan, who represented the United States in the case.


"Universal coverage of health is the theme of the World Health Day 2019. One might think this would mainly concern third world countries and not Europe. Reality is that not all health sectors are developed at the same level and not all kinds of treatment are available for everyone. 'This is especially the case for psychological treatments as Europe is still lacking sufficient coverage of psychological care' explains Koen Lowet of EFPA's Standing Committee on Psychology and Health".

Trading The Globe: Playing The Putin Put (RSX, VIP, MBT)
Tim Seymour: Russian stocks were already on the run before the shadow of political change made traders even more nervous. We talk about the return of the infamous "Putin put" this week on Trading the Globe.
Old Russian hands who remember the efficiency with which Vladimir Putin crushed independent corporations like Yukos during his last presidency talk about a "Putin put" as the elevated risk that traders always have to accept in Moscow.
In effect, as long as the "put" is in effect, Russian stocks will always trade at a discount to their fundamentals.
Putin is still in charge. He has always been in charge.
Below him, you have the Siloviki, the alliance between the military and former KGB. This is the dominant bloc in the Kremlin, but part of this is purely a personality issue.
Former finance minister Alexei Kudrin — who resigned yesterday as expected — fought for fiscal discipline and will be a loss to bond markets. He could reappear as prime minister down the road, or even at the helm of one of Russia's state companies.
Before investing in this market, ask two questions:
1. Is Russia any better than it was 10 years ago on the economic front?
The answer here is "yes," but progress is slow. Innovation and technology initiatives are now on the table to diversify the Russian economy away from the boom-and-bust oil cycle. This is still a positive long-term story.
2. Are the risks greater?
Yes again. Any time there is political change in Russia, the potential threats to private asset ownership go up and the macro risk of a big mistake rise as well. But the media are making a bigger deal of this than they should.
Remember, Putin was always in charge. People can be disappointed that Medvedev is not the enlightened answer to all of Russia's problems with a real path to change. But Putin is concerned about his legacy too. The only real mystery is just whose criteria he will use when shaping his legacy in Russia.
Either way, with all this in mind, these stocks are now priced at profoundly low earnings multipliers.
For example, the energy sector — the lifeblood of the Russian economy — now looks cheap even by Russian standards.
The world-class behemoth that is Gazprom (OGZPY) is trading at barely 2.9 times earnings, and as an unofficial arm of the state, Gazprom and the Kremlin will probably see eye to eye.
The mobile carriers are also great dividend plays and cheap in their own right. Mobile Telesys (NYSE:MBT) and VimpelCom (NYSE:VIP) are underfollowed by Western traders, but they provide exposure to the Russian consumer as well as a way to generate current income.
Naturally, the easiest way to get exposure to Russia is via the big portfolios like the Market Vectors Russia ETF (NYSE:RSX):
