How Do We Learn to Communicate?
The other day, someone made the comment that blogging is just like e-mail, except more people read it. I think the guy was referring to the method of transport, and probably the fact that both are generally a collection of words. But it struck me as ironic, specifically because of that huge difference in readership. Last month, Technorati reported the creation of a new blog every second, was tracking something like 37 million blogs, and 50,000 posts per hour. Elsewhere, I read there were only 23 known blogs at the beginning of 1999, so it's beginning to look like there really are quite a few people out there who like to write, after all. Of course, not all those blogs are written in English, but probably more than enough to make lots of English teachers very happy.
Or very sad, depending on how all these new blogs are executed. I've seen a lot of very well-written blogs, and not all are published by large organizations with teams of professional writers at their disposal, either—not by a long shot. But then there are others that really make you work to understand what the writer was trying to say. So this made me wonder: what about all the people who are now under tremendous pressure to write a blog, or die? Your boss has suddenly become hyper-aware of the blogosphere, and now you're responsible for cranking out a daily essay. Or maybe you're completely on your own with it; maybe you just want to reach out to your customers, or prospects. Unless you're planning to do the audio-blog thing, this is going to involve a lot of words. Sending e-mail to your friends and family is a fairly safe proposition, and even an exchange through your corporate intranet isn't in the same league as a written broadcast to the planet. Your friends and family will still love you if written communication doesn't happen to be your strong point, and your coworkers are probably more interested in content, too. Your blog, on the other hand, goes flying out to millions of potential readers, and not all are as forgiving as your mother.
But there's hope. I've noticed a lot of the errors that creep into otherwise intelligent writing are caused by little more than the misunderstanding, or misinterpretation, of a few basic rules. For example, there seems to be some confusion about the proper execution of a sentence such as Wanda and I went to the mall. While most people understand that it's courteous to put yourself in second place, the old I vs. me problem continues to cause problems. Wanda and me just doesn't sound right, and it isn't. But what if the sentence looks like this: My old car isn't an embarrassment for Robert and I. Maybe the sound of someone and I has just been hammered into a lot of heads in grammar school; maybe it's the only combination that sounds right after a while. Of course, the sentence ought to be My old car isn't an embarrassment for Robert and me, but why?
If you take the other person out of the sentence, and the sentence is still okay, you're good to go.
What could be simpler? Without Robert in there, you would be left with My old car isn't an embarrassment for me, which obviously sounds a lot better than My old car isn't an embarrassment for I, right? Right.
Anyway, there are other examples, but tomorrow is another day, and hopefully another blog post. By the way, if you happen to be an English teacher, or an English teacher's student, please don't gun me down for all the sentences that start with or, and, or but. I don't want to turn this blog into something too formal, at least not right now. I know you'll understand.

Episode 163: Let's Do Better By Black Mothers & Babies: A Look at Racism in the American Healthcare System 0
On Episdoe 163 of the Mama Bear Dares Podcast, Tesi and Leslie begin with a look at institutional racism in the American healthcare system. They focus on Linda Villarosa's incredible article, "Why American's Black Mothers and Babies are in a Life-or-Death Crisis,"in a segment they call "We Read It, We Loved It, Let's Discuss." The two are more than troubled by what Villarosa reports. Not only are shaken by the terrible disparity in death rates between white and black babies and women, but by the fact that this disparity has everything to do with the lived experience of being a black woman in America. Leslie and Tesi talk through this information and dig into the research because they believe the way of the Mama Bear is to learn and then lean in. This episode is about seeing—seeing the struggles of others and then processing them and fighting for change AND seeing the goodness in those around us and acknowledging that beauty. Because of that, the Mama Bears end the episode with a segment called "We See You"where they celebrate the everyday acts of love and kindness put forth by the women around them.

The women acknowledge that God created sexual intimacy and celebrate the idea that the human body is beautiful and to be celebrated and enjoyed, and discuss the most effective ways to teach the next generation to engage in healthy and meaningful sexual activity. Through their playful and deeply honest conversation, the women discuss pleasure and the ways in which we can embrace our spiritual self and our sexual self in order to be the full, complete women we were created to be.

Mudge: 6 Concertos In Seven Parts / Capriccio Basel
MUDGE Concertos: No. 1 in D; 1 No. 2 in B?; No. 3 in G; No. 4 in d; No. 5 in B?; No. 6 in F. 2 Non nobis, Domine 3,4,5 • Dominik Kiefer (vn, cond); Henry Moderlak (tpt); 1 Marc Meisel (org); 2 Michael Feyfar (ten); 3 Raitis Grigalis (bar); 4 González Arroniz (bs); 5 Capriccio Basel (period instruments) • TUDOR 7173 (75:41)
A graduate of Pembroke College, Oxford, Reverend Richard Mudge (1718–1763) was appointed curate of both Great and Little Packington in 1741. He may have been private chaplain to Lord Guernsey, who would later become the Earl of Aylesford. The family had significant musical connections, the best known being Handel's friend and librettist, Charles Jennens. In 1750, Mudge obtained a position at St. Martin's, Birmingham, where he became a popular preacher. In 1756, we find him in the post of rector at Bedworth, where he lived until his death. Even though Mudge's liturgical career is well documented, there is almost nothing pertaining to his musical pursuits.
Two collections of Mudge's music have recently been discovered; both seem to have their origins during his years in service to Lord Aylesford. Most of the material appears to be preliminary versions of this set of concertos, published in 1749. Concertos for strings were quite popular at the time, selling well in a market geared to the desires of talented amateur performers. While the solo parts require performers whose skills are well above the mean, many provincial music societies included collections such as this in their repertoire. The set is scored in seven parts: a concertino of two violins and cello and a ripieno of two violins, viola, bass, and basso continuo . The First Concerto adds a trumpet to the ripieno and the Sixth includes a solo organ part that is modeled along the lines of Handel's organ concertos. The remaining concertos follow the slow-fast-slow-fast pattern found in the concertos of Corelli and Geminiani, indicating that Mudge may have spent some time studying works by those composers in Lord Aylesford's collection.
The text of the three-part motet, Non nobis, Domine , comes from the opening of Psalm 113. The two melodic components—by Belgian Phillip van Wilder and Englishman William Byrd—were quite popular with Jacobites who refused to attend services of the Church of England. It expressed their solidarity with the Stuart dynasty and their rejection of the reigning monarch. As a footnote of sorts, the first appearance in English of both the music and text was around 1620.
The Baroque orchestra Capriccio Basel was founded in 1999, and their first decade has included concerts in France, Hungary, the United States, and appearances at several German festivals. Their collaborators include Andrew Parrott, Monica Huggett, and Gottfried von der Goltz. The orchestra's Web site includes other releases, including one of concertos by William Hayes, which I hope to have in hand in the near future.
The music is not revelatory; it walks down a path that has been previously traveled by the likes of other Englishmen including John Stanley, Charles Avison, and John Hebden. But to Capriccio Basel, Mudge's music is singular, and their beautifully manicured interpretations compel much admiration. Under the direction of Concert Master Dominik Kiefer, the orchestra and soloists exhibit a fine sense of elegance and generous vitality as well. Capriccio Basel displays a rare sense of dedication in this release; it is apparent at every turn by way of their meticulous attention to each and every detail, be it written or implied. Impeccable ensemble and precise intonation are the hallmarks of these praiseworthy sessions. These passionate and sympathetic interpretations have brought belated credit to this consistently charming music, music that has been awaiting rediscovery for far too long.

Q: What are the actual limits of a bitmap in flash? As I can read it from this article the maximum square bitmap Flash can handle is 4,095 x 4,095 (which results in 16,769,025 pixels and bla-bla-bla). So, they say if I try to go to 4,096 x 4,096, I'll fail. But I have tried to load and display a bitmap image sized 4,096 x 4,096, and it worked well. Then, I even tried an image sized 5000 x 5000, and that was alright too. What do I not understand? What are the actual limits and how to calculate them?

A: look at this http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/496/cpsid_49662.html
the actual size limit is 16,777,215 pixels (the decimal equivalent of 0xFFFFFF)

A: I think these limits refer to what you can create in flash via the bitmap class, not what you can load externally...but I could be wrong.

I arrive in Athens after a 5 hour train journey from Thessaloniki which took us through a stunning mountainous terrain. Athens is warm, it's late September and an energetic vibe encapsulates the city. We arrive on the opening of the 4th Biennale, which is also the same day it is announced that the Golden Dawn, a far-right wing political party, are officially classified as a criminal organisation and members of the party are arrested. There's a tense feeling on the graffiti sprawled streets and large numbers of police officers on motorcycles whiz by. The 4-day stay is framed by political and social discussions with our host. A sense of the present moment surrounds us and one cannot ignore Greece's current situation. Athens feels very much at the centre of the economic and social crisis, and the effects are visible on the streets. Yet as a first timer to the city, I am quickly drawn into its charm, energy and edge. I stumble upon ancient ruins scattered through out the city alongside modern ruins, decaying buildings, broken windows and graffiti stained walls. The Parthenon still stands grand presiding over the city's blue skies by day and as a reassuring lit up glowing presence in the skyline at night. The view from the top provides a sense of scale of the sprawling city, whilst installing a wonderful sense of peace and elevation.
Back on ground level the city feels greatly divided, politically on the streets it's become a war between the far left and the far right vying for the city's space and attention, whilst all faith in the, often labelled 'corrupt' middle has turned to hatred and despair. Physically the city is divided in to safe and unsafe areas and we're told which parts to avoid, against advice we wander through these streets which feel foreign to Greece but familiar to areas I'm used to in the UK, Asian hardware or bric-a-brac stores in run down buildings line the streets, a Chinese supermarket, groups of Pakistani men exchange conversation on the street, a wonderful Thai restaurant (we couldn't resist a trip back to at night) and yes, we see a junkie passed out on the streets, but this is also the area where all the city's art galleries reside. This is perhaps a strong example of cheap rents in a – labelled- 'dodgy' area often equal a vivid, exciting, art scene.
And so, my original reason for visiting Athens is a trip to the 4th Athens Biennale (AB4). Appropriately housed largely in the city's former stock exchange building, this years event entitled 'Agora' chooses to focus on not only the present situation in Greece but with eyes firmly looking into the future as it asks the question 'what's next'? Agora, in ancient Greek meaning a public open space for gatherings or markets reflects the Biennale's dynamics, this year ran as a collective group of artists, curators, theorists and practitioners rather then a sole director, and the display, which was not to be a static exhibition but an evolving process of workshops, performances, collaborations and screenings, seeking audience participation as it explores new ways of thinking and imagining solutions for the economic crisis and the future of Greece. In this way the Biennale seeks to be a positive and constructive action, I admired this greatly, an ensemble of various fixed artworks span the building which put the situation in Greece into global context, but the heart of the exhibition, the agora, focusing mainly on Greece is located in the main hall. A former 'market' the Stock Exchange Building itself was wonderful to wander around, a building of crumbling grandeur, abandoned, and somewhat haunted by economic ghosts, the energy of the place, the decisions which would have taken place there.. the collapse.. all felt present in the building's architecture. Likewise the private view carried an usual heightened energy, which felt more like a gathering than a traditional preview (in a good way).
I will just mention one of the works that sticks in my mind and I feel encapsulates the positive spirit of AB4′s Agora. The piece by artist duo DashNDem, 'Reaching Re-birth', consists of a circular workstation of video monitors in which the viewer is invited to sit in front of with headphones, encountering a personal experience with the screen. The viewer works their way around the installation receiving video messages from several top international life coaches who have been specially selected to participate. Each video provides a personal message to the Greek individual, centering on the idea of self-help in the current situation, message topics include; taking responsibility, overcoming anxiety, transforming pessimism and the individual's actions. Sometimes told with personal stories relating to Greece or events elsewhere, analogies for the situation or more directly straight forward advice, the messages are told with tact and install a sense of hope and light. After my travels in Greece and speaking to various Greeks I noticed how easy it was for people to become engulfed in the situation and to sink into a sense of the country's despair losing perspective of the world outside. I thought how great it might be for these messages, and too the proactive actions of AB4 to be received by the public.
This brings me to my final thought, as wonderful as AB4s intentions are, the buzz I felt on the opening and the aptness of the festival's space, one niggling thought remained in my mind after leaving Athens. This was not whether the biennale would actually make any difference, as I believe that the nature of AB4's active process is extremely important regardless of any outcome, but was the question of how much the biennale would actually be able engage with the general public of Athens, and not just the city's artists and usual arts audience? In truth, this question hangs over most art festivals and exhibitions but feels especially crucial to the theme of AB4, and what it was trying to collectively achieve. I wondered if housing the exhibition in just two spaces in the city could be a limitation for the biennale and its potential for chance public encounters, and whether use of the city's public space in some way would have been interesting – which, granted, is already a (no longer blank) canvas with graffiti slogans and protests.


John Gordon Perrin led Canada with 13 points to emerge as the Most Impressive Player. Justin Duff picked up 12 points in crucial moments that defined the match.
Canada got off to a good start in the first set, preparing well in their counterattack against a team of hard-hitters. They passed the ball well to get Nicholas Hoag to score from the flank. They went into a 13-10 lead. The Iran team crafted quicker offence, using combination plays with Seyed Mohammad Mousavi Eraghi and Shahram Mahmoudi. For the higher balls, they used the benefits of a block touch over attacks that pierced through the defence. It was a matter of patiently playing point after point for Canada to maintain their lead and to reach setpoint, 24-20. Iran brought in a 3-point swing, but Canada's Perrin closed off the first set, 25-23 with a quick smash from the wing.
Iran setter Mir Saeid Marouflakrani opened the second set with two aces and went on to design his plays around Mojtaba Mirzajanpour and Mahmoudi. Duff posted several points at the middle but consistency was an issue for his team. Errors found the Canadian side chasing for the setpoint while Iran kept their chances alive. Captain Frederic Winters slammed a winner from the wing to end the second set to Canada's favour, 29-27. Iran looked sluggish with their ways in the third set.
Iran lagged in reception and fell 16-12 at the second technical timeout. Canada suffered from their own share of errors and dealt with a 23-all score. Mahmoudi struck from the wing to extend the set but a block on Mousavi's attack squashed all hope for Iran, 24-26.

It's a DVD extra, basically. It's a short film that I found on my DVD of The Ring Two, although it also appeared on a special edition DVD of the first American Ring shortly before the theatrical release of its sequel. It's a prologue to The Ring Two, which means it's a prologue to a sequel of a remake of an adaptation of the first novel in a series. I hope that makes everything clear?
In short, it explains how those two teenagers at the beginning got together with their video tape. This is highly welcome, since watching only Ring Two will convince you that the boy's retarded. I mean, really. Survival skills, dude. However here we discover that he's fallen in with a subculture of freaks and goths who get a kick out of watching Samara's killer video deliberately. They film themselves, encourage themselves to hold out for as long as possible and even have a website on which you can discuss it. In the meantime, you can experience all kinds of hallucinations and supernatural experiences. Who needs drugs when you can dice with death? The trick is to lure in someone else before your seven days expire, along with you.
This is a whacked-out idea and I bet the Ring Two producers thought of turning it into a full-blown movie before giving up and going with their eventual storyline. As a sixteen-minute short film, it's cool. As a 110-minute feature, it would have sucked hairy donkey balls. You see, our hero could have theoretically got his curse lifted whenever he liked, just by finding some other poor sucker and luring them in instead. You can just about wring sixteen minutes out of that, but no more. Even as it stands, you couldn't call this a plot-driven narrative. He doesn't even die at the end! He's got to be around for Ring Two, remember? Instead it's merely a look at what it's like to be in his shoes as the days tick away and the phenomena get weirder. There's so much style in this film that some people would probably call it experimental. Sometimes it borrows the form of a video diary. At other times, we get weird fish-eye distortion and wobbling images as if we really are underwater, going beyond even the stylistic tricks of The Ring. That was quite interesting.
What's more, they manage to avoid the sense of "same old, same old" that could easily have weighed them down. We've seen Samara's tricks before and we know where it's all going. Fortunately they have one or two new ideas to go with the old favourites, one of them being a satisfyingly logical response to the problem of Samara coming at you from your TV. It doesn't work, but it's still fun to see. I also liked the water falling sideways.
Surprisingly it's not about Samara. She appears, but she barely exists as a person in this one. None of the characters know anything about her and thus nor do we. You also couldn't call it a character-based piece, although it does have its moments. The Ring cultists turn out to be bigger bastards than I'd expected, while there's something rather sweet and pathetic about Emily misunderstanding Jake's motives in inviting her around to watch a video. "Are you asking me out?" Ahahahahaha, no. Emily's played by one Emily VanCamp (hmm), who seems to be doing very well for herself in television, while I was convinced I recognised the actor playing Jake. His name's Ryan Merriman and looking up his CV suggests that I must have been mistaking him with someone else, notwithstanding his role in Halloween Resurrection. Or maybe my brain was getting confused from recently having seen him in Ring Two? Anyway, the performances are all fine. This isn't an actors' piece, but they still have to achieve the required level of intensity while maintaining an illusion of realism.
Would I recommend this? I suppose so. It has a strong central idea and it doesn't wear out its welcome. It doesn't have much of an ending, but that was probably inevitable since it's basically a teaser for the real feature. Besides, you'll probably have it on the same disc as Ring Two anyway. It's spooky. I'm glad I saw it.

The Speos Photographic Institute offers programs for developing photographers in Paris. Student photographers have the opportunity to study in one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. The programs held in Paris offer two year courses, one year courses, 32 week courses, and 24 week courses. The one or two year European Master of Professional Photography program is designed for the student with a professional photography career in mind and the business management skills needed in the profession are heavily emphasized. The Titre de Photographe RNCP Level One program is also offered in the span of the one or two year programs. This program comprises of the first two modules of the European Master program and, in keeping with the French educational system, offers credit via a VAE procedure (Validation de Acquis de l'Experience), meaning that work experience can count for some of a student's educational levels. All of these programs are taught in English. The shorter courses of 32 weeks and 24 weeks consist of an intensive study of professional photography against the backdrop of one of the most revered cities in the world.
Atelier Atlantis offers regular photographic workshops that teach specific styles of photography and photo developing processes to learning photographers. These specific styles are divided into the digital and analog methods. Digital workshops teach a wide array of topics and are open to beginning, intermediate, and advanced students alike. More traditional analog photography workshops feature subjects such as pinhole photography, black and white photography, and photographic developing processes such as cyanotype, gum bichromate, salt prints, van dyke brown, and many other traditional mediums. Many of these subjects are rarely taught in modern schools, so this gives students an excellent opportunity to learn about classic styles of photography and photo development. Classes are kept very small, usually eight students or less, which allows every student to get plenty of one-on-one time with their instructor. These workshops are an excellent way for a young photographer to develop a keen artistic sense while close by to Paris.
WICE, among the oldest Anglophone organizations in Paris, hosts various classes and cultural activities in the city for English-speaking visitors and expatriates alike. They offer many different ways in which students can develop skills, including those who are studying photography. The organization offers a wide array of opportunities, from one-day workshops to classes in multiple sessions. There are also photo expedition classes for those who want to learn while at the same time exploring the hidden gems of Paris. Subjects taught include pinhole photography, visual storytelling, and cyanotype photography. Workshops are made to suit all levels, from beginning students to those who have mastered the art of photography and want to brush up on specific skills. Instructors in the photography classes or workshops have extensive backgrounds in photography and will guide students through the basic concepts and the more advanced techniques in photography.
University level courses offered primarily in English language in Paris-based program. Courses offered in visual arts (photography, printmaking, painting, sculpture and others), art history, literature and French language. Students can enroll in short term courses during our Winter and Summer terms as well as semester-length programs in the Fall and Spring. Courses are U.S. accredited through Whittier College in California, allowing students to transfer credits to home university. We also accept non-degree seeking students for one or more classes.

Major Spike in Small Business Optimism in November
By Jen Richer Dec 30, 2019
Prime Minister Theresa May Visits A Local Butchers Shop In Her Constituency Of Maidenhead
NASHVILLE, TN —The people who own and run America's small businesses are really optimistic.
Today's small business optimism report for November shows the biggest month-over-month gain in six months.
The Optimism Index reading grew by seven of the 10 Index components advancing, led by a 10-point improvement in earnings. Conversely, the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) Uncertainty Index fell 6 points in November to 72, adding to the 4-point drop in October and the lowest reading since May 2018.
The chief economist for the NFIB says the tax cut Congress passed two years ago is creating a favorable environment for small businesses.
"This historic run may defy the expectations of many, but it comes as no surprise to small business owners who understand what a supportive tax and regulatory environment can do for their companies," said NFIB Chief Economist William Dunkelberg. "As the two-year anniversary of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act's passage approaches this month, small businesses, the world's third largest economy, are using those savings to power the American economy."

The Transport Workers Union will pressure airports to impose minimum standards for pay and conditions at baggage handlers and airline suppliers, threatening "disruption" to achieve its aims.
The union announced on Thursday that it is planning to serve claims on the airports that would hold them responsible for the labour standards of contractors at the airport, comparing the push to its road freight transport campaign to ensure retailers maintain standards for truck drivers.
The claims will demand airports ensure the same pay for the same job, regardless of employer; secure work with permanent full-time jobs; and prioritise safety and security over carrying out work at the lowest cost.
The TWU's claims include a demand that airports ensure the same pay for the same job, regardless of employer.
The campaign comes as the Australian Council of Trade Unions is pressuring Labor to introduce rights to bargain and strike across an industry and to allow unions to negotiate at the most powerful level in a supply chain.
TWU national secretary Michael Kaine said "airports at the top of the supply chain make hefty profits by squeezing companies which operate at them".
The aviation industry has moved to part-time work as opposed to eight-hour shifts to better deal with peak demand periods, which can be split into opposing times of the day.
However, the TWU claims that airport pressure on operators has seen workers earning low rates and placed into "forced part-time work" with just 60 hours' work a month.
"This impacts on safety and security because of the high turnover of staff and chronic fatigue due to split shifts," Mr Kaine said.
"Our claim will help lift standards across the aviation industry and ensure fairness and safety are the priority, not profits and big executive bonuses".
Australian Airports Association chief executive officer Caroline Wilkie disputed the grounds for the unions' push.
"There is no relationship between what airports charge airlines and the industrial conditions of TWU members."
The Productivity Commission's draft report on airport regulation, released on Wednesday, found airports had not abused their market power and instead had "generated returns sufficient to promote investment while not earning excessive profits".
However, Mr Kaine said the report "ignores the power airports have in determining the poor quality of jobs for aviation workers".
Mr Kaine compared the airport campaign to its push in the road transport industry, where the union has obtained agreements from Coles and Woolworths to ensure safety and "fairness" for truck drivers.
"Airport workers will similarly ensure that airports hear their voices," he said.
"This could result in disruptions at our airports but if this is what it takes to avert catastrophes in the air and to put a stop to inhuman conditions for workers then we are prepared for it."
He said, like the road transport campaign, "we are prepared to continue battling for years to achieve our aims".
The TWU is locked in a long-running dispute with global cargo handler Swissport, formerly known as Aerocare, which it claims operates under substandard conditions.
This week, the union made a renewed push to terminate Swissport's 2012 enterprise agreement because it argued its 2000 workers would be better off on the award.
Swissport wants to delay the union's termination bid until the Fair Work Commission decides whether to approve its new non-union agreement, which was supported by 91 per cent of the voting workforce.
The company recently suffered a blow after it lost a Federal Court case last week that declared the award prohibits mandatory split shifts.
While the company claims all its split shifts are "voluntary", the ruling will bear on whether its new agreement is better off than the award and whether voluntary split shifts are a detriment.
A Swissport spokesman said the TWU represents "fewer than 5 per cent of Swissport workers".
"It is trying to defy the wishes of the workforce," he said.
"Abolishing [the 2012 EA], as the TWU wishes, will reduce the ordinary hourly rate for workers by forcing them back to the basic award. This would be a destructive step backwards for workers."

A punch of robust bourbon is mellowed by the addition of sweet amaretto, seltzer, and sparkling apple juice. Serve the drinks with Smoked Trout Toasts.
1. Combine seltzer, bourbon, juices, simple syrup, and amaretto in a punch bowl. Fill with ice. Garnish with lemon slices and cherries.
I made this for a Christmas Cookie Exchange about 4 years ago and it was a HIT! I have made it every year since then and now make 2 batches!
Made this punch for my 50th birthday/ Christmas party. It was a HUGE HIT ! I had around 50 people, so I tripled the recipe and it worked out beautifully. So many people commented on how delicious and refreshing it was. I highly recommend this one.
This punch was the hit of our party. Seriously delicious and not too sweet. It paired perfectly with the tapenades and pestos we had out. We tripled the recipe and it was the perfect amount for 50 guests. Fantastic recipe! We will make this again.

Mutations of the forkhead/winged-helix gene, FKHL7, in patients with Axenfeld-Rieger anomaly.
Genetic linkage, genome mismatch scanning, and analysis of patients with alterations of chromosome 6 have indicated that a major locus for development of the anterior segment of the eye, IRID1, is located at 6p25. Abnormalities of this locus lead to glaucoma. FKHL7 (also called "FREAC3"), a member of the forkhead/winged-helix transcription-factor family, has also been mapped to 6p25. DNA sequencing of FKHL7 in five IRID1 families and 16 sporadic patients with anterior-segment defects revealed three mutations: a 10-bp deletion predicted to cause a frameshift and premature protein truncation prior to the FKHL7 forkhead DNA-binding domain, as well as two missense mutations of conserved amino acids within the FKHL7 forkhead domain. Mf1, the murine homologue of FKHL7, is expressed in the developing brain, skeletal system, and eye, consistent with FKHL7 having a role in ocular development. However, mutational screening and genetic-linkage analyses excluded FKHL7 from underlying the anterior-segment disorders in two IRID1 families with linkage to 6p25. Our findings demonstrate that, although mutations of FKHL7 result in anterior-segment defects and glaucoma in some patients, it is probable that at least one more locus involved in the regulation of eye development is also located at 6p25.

Major bank executive predicts economy will take off in 2015
Loan Sale Pricing Consumer Loan Sales Trending Right Now Commercial Loan Sales (Performing and Distressed) Residential Mortgage Sales (Performing and Nonperforming) Charge-Offs and Bankruptcies
U.S. Bancorp CEO Richard Davis has been offering some fairly rosy views of the economy, predicting that growth will accelerate sharply next year.
Rising rates key impetus
Rising interest rates are the key impetus that will trigger this change, as consumers and businesses will have significant incentive to borrow before these borrowing costs move even higher, Davis asserted, according to American Banker. Because Minneapolis-based U.S. Bancorp has a knack for consistently generating the results it says it will, the CEO's statements are a bit more credible than they would be otherwise, analysts say.
Earlier this year at the American Banker Regulatory Symposium, Davis asserted that many U.S. businesses have been holding back on using credit because the low-interest rate environment gives them no urgency to borrow, American Banker reported. At the same time, he noted the Federal Reserve Board is coming closer to increasing its borrowing costs.
Rate hike near, says Davis
"It's getting sooner," Davis stated in an interview following the symposium, according to the media outlet. "It's going to happen. And so that's going to be a catalyst ... I think it will be next year things take off."
In terms of how much impact a change in Fed policy would have, he likened its impact on U.S. businesses to the effect that "Cash for Clunkers" had on the nation's consumers, the news source reported. By motivating everyday Americans to buy vehicles sooner rather than later, this program helped bolster automobile sales.
Industry skepticism
While Davis has remained optimistic, some may have a good cause for being skeptical of his rosy views, as U.S. Bancorp reported lukewarm results for the third quarter. The financial institution's income rose to $1.471 billion in the three-month period, or $0.78 per diluted common share, up from $1.468 million, or $0.76 per diluted common share, the same time last year.
Mike Mayo, an analyst at CLSA, spoke to the results during an interview, according to American Banker. He asked why Davis is so optimistic when his company recently reported modest improvements in revenue and loan growth. Mayo asked the U.S. Bancorp CEO about his prediction that the economy will take off in 2015, and Davis was unwavering.
Davis prediction unwavering
"I am going to stick to what I said before, and I think it is next year," he said, the media outlet reported. "And when it does, it happens fast. I don't have any evidence that says otherwise. And I am not responding to the vagaries of two weeks of either 10-year interest rates or stock market variances, I am just going to stick with it."
Only time will tell if Davis' prediction is accurate, but if he is right, now may be a good time for financial institutions to participate in adjustable-rate loan sales. Organizations that are thinking about getting involved with such activities might consider speaking with Garnet Capital Advisors, which has significant experience in this space.

Social Justice at the First Unitarian Society
"First Unitarian Society: A welcoming, inclusive community to feed the human spirit, to inspire compassionate action, and to serve as a beacon for justice and love."
Vision Statement:
"Together we seek to grow as a vibrant presence in our community through sharing our welcoming faith and working to build a just world."
Black Lives Matter is a movement and a stance in response to this reality: the United States was built on a legacy of slavery, racism, and oppression that continues to take new, ever-changing forms. To say that "black lives matter" doesn't mean that black lives are more important than other lives, or that all lives don't matter. The systemic devaluing of Black lives calls us to bear witness, even as we acknowledge that oppression takes many intersecting forms.
The First Unitarian Society is an open welcoming, inclusive religious community where people of all races, ethnicities, and cultures see their cultural identities reflected and affirmed in every aspect of congregational life—worship, fellowship, leadership, governance, religious education,and social justice.
2016 – Winner of Ambassador Award from the Governor's Council on Mental Health Stigma. In 2016, the First Unitarian Society was the winner of the prestigious Ambassador Award for its Mental Health Ministry.
2017 – The First Unitarian Society becomes a Mental Health Stigma-Free Zone In January, 2017, The Board of the First Unitarian Society voted to support the Bridgeway-Plainfield Stigma-Free Zone Campaign. and designated the First Unitarian Society of Plainfield as a Mental Health Stigma-Free Zone. The Board approved participation of the Society in the initiative to make Plainfield a Mental Health Stigma-free Zone and appointed congregant and mental health professional Mark Williams, "stigma-free
ambassador" to the newly formed City Steering Committee for the Bridgeway-Plainfield Stigma-Free Zone Campaign. On March 13, 2017, the City of Plainfield passed a resolution making Plainfield a Mental Health Stigma-Free Zone.
