Study findings mirror racial and ethnic disparities for police violence in adults November 24, 2020
A recent study evaluating the use of force by police against children found that Black and Hispanic adolescents are significantly more likely to die from shootings related to police intervention compared to non-Hispanic white adolescents. The findings, led by Children's National Hospital researchers and reported online November 24 in Pediatrics, mirror similar racial and ethnic disparities in adults and highlight the need for interventions and policies to mitigate these tragedies.
In recent years, concerns about police use of force — particularly its disproportionate application to people of color — have grown exponentially in the U.S. Between 2003 and 2018, there were 6,512 firearm deaths from police intervention in adults, with non-Hispanic Blacks and Hispanics having significantly higher per population mortality rates than whites. However, it's been unclear whether similar racial and ethnic disparities exist for adolescents killed by police intervention.
To explore this question, Monika K. Goyal, M.D., M.S.C.E., associate division chief of Emergency Medicine and Trauma Services and director of Academic Affairs and Research at Children's National, and her colleagues used data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Web-Based Injury Statistics Query and Reporting System. This database collects national data from death certificates compiled by the National Center for Health Statistics, including cause of death and race and ethnicity.
The researchers identified all adolescents between the ages of 12 and 17 years of age who died from firearm injuries due to police intervention between 2003 and 2018 within this database. They then compared rates of these deaths across different racial and ethnic populations based on U.S. Census Bureau data.
Dr. Goyal and her colleagues found that during the 16-year study period, 140 adolescents had died from police intervention, and of those, 113 involved firearms. The vast majority — about 93% — were male, with a mean age of about 16 years.
Using census data, the researchers found that the rate of firearm deaths due to police intervention was markedly higher among non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic youth when compared to non-Hispanic white youth. Numbers show that, compared to non-Hispanic white children, non-Hispanic Black children had a six-fold higher risk of death due to legal intervention. Similarly, Hispanic children had a risk of death almost three times higher.
"As the country works to reform policing practices and strives to mitigate disparities in our justice system, it is essential we do not forget the disproportionate impact on children of color," Dr. Goyal says. "Our study confirms these disparities that are stark and unacceptable."
Dr. Goyal adds that the study only collected data on adolescents who died, rather than non-fatal shootings, and thus, may underestimate the true toll of disparities in use of firearms against youth due to police intervention. Although the study was not designed to investigate the causes of these disparities, she says, recent events provide evidence of structural racism and bias among law enforcement personnel and in its policies.
Although these numbers are small, Dr. Goyal notes that there's a potential rippling effect, with the death of each child having wide-ranging impact on an entire community.
"Any death of a child is devastating but when it is due to police violence, it leads to distrust in the system and undermines the primary mission to protect," she says. "The pattern of stark racial and ethnic disparities only adds to this tragedy, further oppressing and alienating communities of color. It's important to investigate, identify and correct those policies and personnel that perpetuate and exacerbate these disparities."
Other researchers who contributed to this study include Gia M. Badolato, M.P.H., Meleah D. Boyle, M.P.H., and Robert McCarter, Sc.D., all of Children's National; April M. Zeoli of Michigan State University; and William Terrill of Arizona State University.

The most important things to work with a reputable marketing company because you can benefit a lot from the customer base or networks.
Experience is always a very crucial factor when choosing a marketing company to help you with the marketing department. It is necessary for you to consider the experience because it means that this company knows the appropriate marketing strategies or techniques they can use, but also because they have created a great network for a very long time.

Marketing companies will charge differently for the services depending on different factors which you already know, but the best thing is to gather estimates which can help you compare different charges hence for choosing a company can afford.


Federal workplace safety authorities are investigating a building collapse that killed a construction worker and trapped a woman Dec. 2 in downtown Sioux Falls, SD.
A three-story brick building, built in 1916, collapsed during remodeling activities Friday morning at about 10:30 a.m.
Worker Ethan McMahon, 24, was killed and 22-year-old Emily Fodness, who was in her family's upstairs apartment, was trapped for three hours underneath the twisted metal and concrete rubble, before she was pulled to safety.
McMahon's brother, John, who was also working on the building and two dogs belonging to the Fodness family were able to survive the collapse and were pulled to safety. A third dog was found alive at the scene some 48 hours later, reports said.
More than 120 emergency workers responded to the scene. Debris that had shifted during the collapse put them risk and slowed rescue efforts, reports said. An adjacent building was also damaged in the incident. Heavy equipment was brought in to brace the neighboring building.
The building, which formerly housed a bar called the Copper Lounge, was reportedly being converted into a drugstore by Hultgren Construction. However, the Sioux Falls contractor did not have proper permits in place, officials allege.
The City of Sioux Falls Chief Building Services Official Ron Bell told a local television station that the company only had a permit for tile and flooring renovations to the Copper Lounge Building, but not to work on a connecting wall.
"To date there hasn't been any architectural or structural submittals for us to be able to issue a building permit," Bell said.
"If they were taking down the load bearing wall, we would have required (structural) submittals," Bell told the Argus Leader newspaper.
The city has turned over the investigation to the federal authorities, noting that the owner of the building, Norman Drake, and the construction company would also be investigating.
Hultgren Construction reportedly posted a photo Nov. 30 to its Facebook page showing a worker removing bricks from the building in the demolition stage, the newspaper noted. The photo had been deleted but a screenshot was submitted to the newspaper.
Investigators from the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration have opened a case to determine the cause of the collapse and issue any citations, if warranted.
Hultgren Construction does not have a record of prior workplace safety violations. The contractor has not released a comment on the incident and did not respond Wednesday to a D+D News request for comment.
Reports say McMahon was a veteran, a loving father and friend. A GoFundMe page has been set up to help his family with costs. As of Wednesday, $22,740 had been donated.
A separate GoFundMe page was set up for the Fodness family to help them relocate as they lost their home in the collapse.

Rare Black Leopard Spotted in Kenya
— Feb 14, 2019
If you were to ask me what my favorite was, it would honestly be hard for me to choose.
According to National Geographic, the rare cat, which is often referred to as a 'black panther, ' was spotted traveling with a larger, normally colored leopard, presumed to be her mother, in central Kenya. Their lovely eyes, those magical spots, and those strong, solid bodies are something that I always marvel at.
The leopard, spotted in Laikipia Wilderness Camp in Kenya, has often been seen but getting pictures of it has proven to be very hard.
"This is what Will's photos and the videos on our remote cameras now prove, and are exceptionally rare in their detail and insight. In Africa, however, melanistic leopards are extremely rare".
This genetic variation, the opposite of albinism, results in an excess of dark pigmentation.
Photographed with a Camtraptions camera trap.
Will Burrard-Lucas caught a glimpse of the elusive big cat as it hunted for prey at night in Kenya's Laikopia Wilderness Camp.
Burrard-Lucas and Pilfold's team were working separately, but they believe they captured images of the same leopard.
The creature - of nearly mythical status - was captured on film by Kenya-based biologist Nick Pilfold using specialist equipment including wireless motion sensors and high-quality DSLR cameras.
The Brit said he couldn't believe it when he returned to one of the traps one day and saw a black leopard staring back at the camera lens.
Will Burrard-Lucas, who shot the images of the black leopard, described his longtime dream to photograph the big cat.
A black leopard raised in captivity at the The Rhino and Lion Nature Reserve in Johannesburg. "So I've left the cameras for a few days and now I'm heading back to see if I've got anything". Conservation scientist Nicholas Pilford estimates that only 11 per cent of the world's leopards have it.
Just look at those piercing eyes!
He spent his life chasing them down to capture some photos. We couldn't be more in love with their raw beauty!
Despite such intense planning and precise work, Mr Burrard-Lucas was surprised by what he was able to capture using a Camptraptions Camera Trap. These photos have confirmed what wildlife enthusiasts have speculated for decades!
As recently as 2017, only a single sighting had been confirmed-a 1909 photograph taken in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. It's now stored in the collections of the National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C.
"It's exciting to see black leopards on our cameras - and more research into their melanism is needed, so we can understand why they occur here".
It also provides protection from human sightings.
Shrinking habitats and scarce resources due to human activity have made the black leopard even more rare since then.
Pilford explained the majority of leopards in Southeast Asia are black - with the black colour being seen as an evolutionary advantage in the jungles of India and Malaysia.

In today's hyper-connected environment, each of us is made instantly aware of both the company culture don'ts (like UploadVR's "kink room") and the highly coveted dos (like Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky's push for a more transparent customer feedback experience).
If you are a business owner or executive, it's almost certain you want to differentiate your company in order to draw in and keep top talent. What do you need to do to avoid the don'ts and create a strong company culture?
Weekly sales updates and marketing reports are crucial, but that doesn't mean you can't have a little fun with them. Celebrate wins and highlight the people who make such wins possible. A great way to do this is to send out regular emails to the team that spotlight "wow" moments when employees go above and beyond the regular call of duty.
When it comes to the big wins, make sure to go big! Recognize your employees for providing great service and receiving positive feedback from clients. Give your employees a way to nominate their colleagues for recognition of their hard work, great attitudes, and collaborative spirits.
In business, it can be a good idea to over-communicate, especially when working with a remote team. It's difficult for messages to get misinterpreted if you repeat, re-repeat, and clarify them every time.
You receive a project: Take a moment to send a reply confirming the receipt of any project; confirm that you understand messages when you receive them. This is called "closing the loop," and it is a basic component of strong communication.
A project is underway: For long-term projects, it is best to keep your teammates and managers updated on the progress you make each day and on the anticipated completion date.
You obtain new information: If you obtain information on a project that will affect when or how it will be completed, communicate that immediately.
A task is complete: When you complete any task related to a collaborative project, it is important to close the loop and let your teammates know.
Email, chat, text messages, and phone calls are great tools for communicating, but the value of face time can't be understated. There is no replacement for in-person conversation and collaboration.
If your team works remotely, video conferencing software can help you get in some virtual face time. Whenever possible, try to use video conferencing software to connect with clients, partners, colleagues, and prospects.
A clear vision that resonates with both your employees and your clients will drive your business forward. A strong, shared vision gives purpose and guides employees to make decisions that align with the company's overall goals.
Autonomy in the workplace drives engagement, so why not make it easy for all employees to contribute and share their ideas? Giving employees a voice in your organization will generate deeper engagement and satisfaction.
Collaboration is crucial to the success of your organization, so it's important to make sure you carve out time for team-building activities. Non-work-related activities, like volunteering together, can foster better communication and collaboration among your team members. This, in turn, improves overall performance and fosters a sense of community and belonging that drives purpose.
This is perhaps the most important step in building a high-performance culture. Anything short of full commitment and top prioritization will fail to take your company's culture to the next level.
It's not enough to know you need to work on your culture; you have to put the work in. Don't have time to implement and manage critical changes? Delegate! Consider forming an internal committee, nominating one or two employees to manage the process, or adding ownership of the culture-building task to an existing employee's job description. If you'd really like to build a strong company culture that can stand the test of time, you may want to hire someone to specifically manage this aspect of your company.
Creating and maintaining a top-tier company culture can be a challenge, but resources you can use and examples you can follow to help you achieve this lofty goal abound.

Keeping up with the demands of life, work and family can be hard to do while trying to preserve a healthy amount of energy for Self and keep it all going.
We often ask ourselves, what can we do to balance the things that are taking huge tolls on our energetic health and recharge ourselves? While being in nature and spending time with friends can go a long way, proper diet and nutrition or just a good nights sleep are all important too.
Here's a little something different. Sound and vibrational therapies are finally making their way onto the scene. Keeping in mind, all things are energy and this is not a 'cure' for the energy zapping that happens with regular life, but these can be incredible tools to help us recharge ourselves and find the right vibration for good health.
What is sound healing? Ancient instruments, including Tibetan singing bowls, are 'struck and sung' in specific rhythmic patterns to create vibrational sound harmonics at the frequency of "AUM" or "OM". This sound impacts the sympathetic nervous system as your brain waves synchronize to the vibrations of the bowls. The harmonic vibrations engage the relaxation reflex and slow down the respiratory, brain and heart rate and disrupt the pain reflex creating a deep sense of well being. Some people work with gongs, toning, color, and visualizations may be integrated into your session to help move energy.
The benefits of sound and vibrational healing can range from pain, stress-related conditions and the ability to alter one's consciousness. It is also proven to reduce pain and discomfort from fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, and depression. People report improved memory, clarity, vitality and the ability to take action yet feel a deep sense of relaxation and tranquility.
I found some wonderful articles describing the benefits, technical aspects and science of Tibetan singing bowls. If you're looking for more information on this, check out this article shared by Jevon Dängeli – NLP Trainer, Coach & Hypnotherapist. It's excellent.


A presidential pardon is a rare possession, especially when the man pardoned, Downe, still owed millions to the Securities and Exchange Commission for his violations. Rarer still, however, is the real estate developer, like Kessinger, who appears to have left hundreds of thousands of dollars in appreciated value on the table for his minority-share partner. Dodd appears to have latched onto one — and, on paper, has turned a profit like the Wall Street pirates he once loved but now disdains.


Today (Friday) is Go Red For Women Day, where people wear red to raise awareness about cardiovascualr disease in women. KVCR's Benjamin Purper speaks with Loma Linda University Health cardiologist Purvi Parwani in this report.
You might think of heart attacks as a men's issue. But statistically, heart disease is the leading cause of death for women.
Dr. Parwani says there are tell-tale signs of heart disease that should alert women that they need to be checked for it.
Dr. Parwani has a few tips for how to prevent heart disease in the first place. One is exercise.
Parwani: "Exercise, exercise, exercise. So be physically active. What we know from multiple studies is that even if you do anything, that's better than doing nothing. So 10,000 steps, 30 minutes every day, even if you do 5 minutes of exercise every day, that counts. Than, you know, not doing anything. So be physically active.
Lastly, Parwani advises women to manage their stress levels.
Parwani: "So having a stress reduction technique that works for you, we know that stress affects women way more than it affects men. So having a stress reduction technique that you have figured out yourself, practice that everyday, it can be meditation, it can be prayer, it can be deep breathing. Something that works for your body.
By doing all these things, along with not smoking or drinking, women can drastically lower their risk of heart disease.

Yale Journal on Regulation
The Energy Policy Act of 1992- A Watershed for Competition in the Wholesale Power Market
16_10YaleJonReg447_1993_.pdf
Watkiss, Jeffrey
Smith, Douglas
Recent trends in the electricity generation market have spawned interest in substituting competition for traditional regulatory controls. To this end, Congress adopted regulatory reforms in the Energy Policy Act of 1992 aimed at stimulating competition in electricity generation. Most notably, the new legislation authorizes federal regulators to open transmission lines to competing generators of electric power. In addition, the Act frees a class of wholesale power generators from burdensome holding company regulation.I n this Article, Messrs. Watkiss and Smith analyze the procompetitive reforms in the 1992 Act, and attempt to predict their impact on the electric utility industry. In the short run, at least, the Act will foster greater competition among power generators. The Act, however, leaves many critical decisions to federal and state regulators; their decisions on how to implement the new law will determine whether a vigorously competitive wholesale power market develops as Congress intended

When under Gaelic rule, Ireland was divided into provinces to replace the earlier system of the tuatha.
Originally there were five provinces but over the course of time the smallest one, Meath, was absorbed into Leinster. During Ireland's golden age these provinces were little more than loosely federated kingdoms with somewhat flexible boundaries, but in modern times they have become associated with groups of specific counties though they have no legal status.
The provinces were supplanted by the present system of counties after the Norman occupation in the twelfth century. The Irish word for province, "cúige", means "portion" and/or "fifth", reflecting the original division.
Six of the nine Ulster counties form modern-day Northern Ireland, which is a constituent part of the United Kingdom. Note that in this context Northern Ireland is known as a province of the United Kingdom. These two usages of the word "province" in Ireland are often confused.
The four provinces of Ireland are;
1. Leinster
2. Munster
3. Connacht
4. Ulster

By Eamon O'Neill on 26th July 2016.
The sun has set on this years' Ramblin' Man Fair festival, with one unlikely act emerging as 2016's clear winner - the English weather. Taking place in in Maidstone, Kent between 23rd - 24th July, the two day event saw Whitesnake, Black Stone Cherry, Thin Lizzy, Europe and a host of others, take to the stage on one of the warmest weekends of the year.
Kicking off on Saturday 23rd July, crowds arriving in the city's Mote Park were greeted with clear blue skies and glorious sunshine that gave the second year of the annual classic rock bash an air of celebration from the off. With an exceptionally upbeat atmosphere and a stellar line-up ensuring that nobody was going to be disappointed, even Thin Lizzy front man Ricky Warwick agreed that; "the weather is a huge factor. If it's sunny, it makes a huge difference, it really does".
Among Saturday's show stopping acts were classic rock revivalists The Dead Daisies, who stirred the crowd with their old-school Americana rock 'n' roll set, and U.K. Britrock heroes Terrorvision, whose hits-filled performance revealed one of the most upbeat turns of the weekend.
Joined by former unofficial member Midge Ure, Thin Lizzy's early Saturday evening slot meanwhile proved that forty years after their landmark 'Jailbreak' release, their anthems were as roof-raising as ever. Similarly, on the 30th Anniversary of the release of their monumental 'The Final Countdown' album, Europe mixed current material with old favourites, proving that cuts from last years' 'War Of Kings' release more than live up to former glories.
Despite stellar Sunday performances from the likes of festival-favourites Thunder and legendary 'Whiter Shade Of Pale' writers Procol Harum, Ramblin' Man Fair 2016 belonged to headliners Whitesnake (Saturday), and Black Stone Cherry (Sunday). With David Coverdale's veteran act belting out the hits, and the Kentuckians playing to their biggest ever British audience as a headline act, both bands proved that they were more than worthy to follow the stiff competition that the festival had provided.
With Ramblin' Man Fair today (26th July) confirmed to return to the same location on 29th & 30th July 2017, the happening looks set to become a must-attend staple of the hard rock calendar.
Stay tuned for exclusive eonmusic interviews from Ramblin' Man Fair from Thin Lizzy, Aerosmith's Tom Hamilton, Europe, Terrorvision, Devin Townsend, Inglorious, and more coming soon.

I am not one of those people who goes to get my nails done on a regular basis. Firstly, I don't have the time and I also find that my nails chip or smudge within 24 hours. It isn't worth it and is just frustrating.
But last night I attended a party hosted by CND, the company of one of the best new inventions nail colour has seen in a long time, the amazing new product Shellac. I met the co-founder Jan Arnold last night as well. She is passionate about her product and for good reason.
Shellac goes on like regular polish but lasts like gel nails(no idea what those are but that is what I have been told). At least 14 days I have heard! Then your nails start to grow and it looks weird.
And no, that is not me above. It is Isabeli Fontana. But I have to tell you, that is how I felt last night.
I swear, within 1 minute of having my nails done, my hands were in my jean pockets. Nothing. Not a smudge or a dent. Today, not a smudge or a dent. I keep seeing what I think is a smudge but with one swipe, it comes clean.
Shellac is only available at salons and only certain salons at that. And the price is a little more than a regular manicure but in my opinion, totally worth it. There also isn't a huge amount of colours but you can mix colours to come up with whatever you want.
Please note, it was a polish, not a manicure, something I have not had for ages. My nails don't look amazing but the Shellac does. The colour is Asphalt, a new colour coming out in September. Sometimes it looks black, the next grey and the next navy. Loving it.
And this isn't a paid post and as you can see, I am not a hand model. I just really think the product is great and want to share it.
Don't forget to come back for the week update!!
And thank you to my friend's sister at High View Communications for the invite!

Q: Macro that outputs table with testing results of SAS table Problem
I'm not a very experienced SAS user, but unfortunately the lab where I can access data is restricted to SAS.  Also, I don't currently have access to the data since it is only available in the lab, so I've created simulated data for testing.
I need to create a macro that gets the values and dimensions from a PROC MEANS table and performs some tests that check whether or not the top two values from the data make up 90% of the results.
As an example, assume I have panel data that lists firms revenue, costs, and profits.  I've created a table that lists n, sum, mean, median, and std.  Now I need to check whether or not the top two firms make up 90% of the results and if so, flag if it's profit, revenue, or costs that makes up 90%.
I'm not sure how to get started
Here are the steps :

*

*Read the data

*Read the PROC MEAN table created, get dimensions, and variables.

*Get top two firms in each variable and perform check

*Create new table that lists variable, value from read table, largest and second largest, and flag.

*Then print table
Simulated data :
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ypmri8s6i8irn8a/dataset.csv?dl=0
PROC MEANS Table
proc import datafile="/folders/myfolders/dataset.csv"
     out=dt
     dbms=csv
     replace;
     getnames=yes;
run;

TITLE "Macro Project Sample";
PROC MEANS n sum mean median std;
    VAR V1 V2 V3;
RUN;

Desired Results :
        Value        Largest     Sec. Largest       Flag
V1     463138.09     9888.09       9847.13
V2     148.92        1.99           1.99
V3     11503375      9999900       1000000           Y

A: At the moment I can't open your simulated dataset but I can give you some advices, hope they will help.
You can add the n extreme values of given variables using the 'output out=' statement with the option IDGROUP.
Here an example using charity dataset ( run this to create it http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/proc/65145/HTML/default/viewer.htm#p1oii7oi6k9gfxn19hxiiszb70ms.htm)
proc means data=Charity;
   var MoneyRaised HoursVolunteered;
   output out=try sum=
   IDGROUP ( MAX (Moneyraised HoursVolunteered) OUT[2] (moneyraised hoursvolunteered)=max1 max2);
run;
data    var1 (keep=name1 _freq_ moneyraised max1_1 max1_2 rename=(moneyraised=value max1_1=largest max1_2=seclargest name1=name))
        var2 (keep=name2 _freq_ HoursVolunteered max2_1 max2_2 rename=(HoursVolunteered=value max2_1=largest max2_2=seclargest name2=name));
length name1 name2 $4;
set try ;
name1='VAR1';
name2='VAR2';
run;

data finalmerge;
length flag $1;
set var1 var2;
if largest+seclargest > value*0.9 then flag='Y';
run;

in the proc means I choose to variables moneyraised and hoursvolunteered, you will choose your var1 var2 var3 and make your changes in all the program.
The IDgroup will output the max value for both variables, as you see in the parentheses, but with out[2], obviously largest and second largest.
You must rename them, I choose to rename max1 and max 2, then sas will add an _1 and _2 to the first and the second max values automatically.
All the output will be on the same line, so I do a datastep referencing 2 datasets in output (data var1 var2) keeping the variables needed and renaming them for the next merge, I also choose a naming system as you see.
Finally I'll merge the 2 datasets created and add the flag.

A: Here are some initial steps and pointers in a non macro approach which restructures the data in such a manner that no array processing is required. This approach should be good for teaching you a bit about manipulating data in SAS but will not be as fast a single pass approach (like the macros you originally posted) as it transposes and sorts the data.
First create some nice looking dummy data.
/* Create some dummy data with three variables to assess */
data have;
    do firm = 1 to 3;
        revenue = rand("uniform");
        costs = rand("uniform");
        profits = rand("uniform");
        output;
    end;
run;

Transpose the data so all the values are in one column (with the variable names in another).
/* Move from wide to deep table */
proc transpose
        data = have
        out = trans
        name = Variable;
    by firm;
    var revenue costs profits;
run;

Sort the data so each variable is in a contiguous group of rows and the highest values are at the end of each Variable group.
/* Sort by Variable and then value
    so the biggest values are at the end of each Variable group */
proc sort data = trans;
    by Variable COL1;
run;

Because of the structure of this data, you could go down through each observation in turn, creating a running total, which when you get to the final observation in a Variable group would be the Variable total. In this observation you also have the largest value (the second largest was in the previous observation).
At this point you can create a data step that:

*

*Is aware when it is in the first and last values of each variable group

*

*by statement to make the data step aware of your groups

*first.Variable temporary variable so you can initialise your total variable to 0

*last.Variable temporary variable so you can output only the last line of each group

*Sums up the values in each group

*

*retain statement so SAS doesn't empty your total with each new observation

*sum() function or + operator to create your total

*Creates and populates new variables for the largest and second largest values in each group

*

*lag() function or  retain statement to keep the previous value (the second largest)

*Creates your flag

*Outputs your new variables at the end of each group

*

*output statement to request an observation be stored

*keep statement to select which variables you want

The macros you posted originally looked like they were meant to perform the analysis you are describing but with some extras (only positive values contributed to the Total, an arbitrary number of values could be included rather than just the top 2, the total was multiplied by another variable k1198, negative values where caught in the second largest, extra flags and values were calculated).

The cost of gridlock
Wikimedia Commons image
The Illinois State Capitol in Springfield, where a pension reform plan was crafted and now awaits a Sangamon County judge's opinion today.
For those who are trying to put a price tag on the cost of Springfield gridlock, an answer of sorts is coming from the University of Illinois' Institute of Government and Public Affairs: $53 million, just for starters.
According to an analysis released today by the institute, $53 million is the "penalty" the state paid when it sold $480 million in general obligation bonds last week.
Specifically, it's how much the state garnered from the sale compared with how much it would have netted in 2006, before the state's credit rating repeatedly had been lowered.
Here's how bond sales work: An interest rate is set, but then buyers bid for how much they're willing to pay to get that return, effectively raising or lowering the price. Last week's sale netted prices ranging between 98 percent and 114 percent of par value, depending on time to maturity. But the state got 104 percent to 127 percent of par value a decade ago. The difference between the two is $53 million, roughly $568 million for the state versus the $515 million we actually got.
Last week's GO sale was the first since Gov. Bruce Rauner and House Speaker Mike Madigan went to war over the budget, tax hikes, the governor's "turnaround Illinois" agenda, etc. But it won't be the last. And if the standoff continues, the penalty could double on future sales, says study author Martin Luby, an institute visiting scholar from DePaul University.
Even if the penalty doesn't grow in percent terms, it will exist if and when the state taps the bond market for needed infrastructure projects, Luby says.
For instance, if the state borrows $4 billion for roadwork and pays the same relative penalty, the cost will climb to $424 million, Luby says. That's almost as much as the hole in this year's Chicago Public Schools budget that is causing all kinds of angst.
"This analysis adds to the mountain of evidence that Illinois is in very perilous financial straits," says institute Director Christopher Mooney. "Never has it been more imperative that our state's leaders work together to solve our financial woes—before they get even further out of hand."

58% children in five northern states are malnourished, says UNICEF

• 370,000 under-five kids require life-saving interventions
• U.K. invests $47.9m to address situation
No fewer than 58 per cent of under-five children in five northern states of Katsina, Kebbi, Jigawa, Yobe, and Zamfara are suffering from the severe effects of malnutrition, which have impaired their physical and mental development.
A group of experts from federal and state governments, development partners, civil society and academia announced in Abuja last week that an estimated 370,000 children with severe acute malnutrition in these states will require life-saving treatment this year and that without such treatment, about 70,000 of this number are likely to die.
The experts in a statement after a two-day meeting to discuss the results of research on activities carried out by the Working to Improve Nutrition in Northern Nigeria (WINNN) programme in Katsina, Kebbi, Jigawa, Yobe, and Zamfara states said taking action to address the root causes of child malnutrition is key to reducing the high rate of child malnutrition in northern Nigeria.
The WINNN programme, implemented by the Nigerian government with support from the United Nations Children Fund (UNICEF), Save the Children and Action Against Hunger, is funded by United Kingdom Department for International Development (DFID) and works in three local councils in each of the five states.
The Operational Research and Impact Evaluation (ORIE) project is an independent component of the DFID funded WINNN programme. ORIE is carrying out research to determine the impact of WINNN and generates important research on key evidence gaps regarding solutions to malnutrition in northern Nigeria.
The DFID funded the WINNN programme is providing treatment of malnutrition, including Community-based Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM), vitamin A supplementation and deworming, and promoting improved infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices, with the aim of benefiting 11 million children under five across five states of Kebbi, Katsina, Jigawa, Zamfara and Yobe in northern Nigeria.
The WINNN group of experts recommended increasing activities to prevent malnutrition such as encouraging women to attend health facilities for antenatal and postnatal care where they can be given guidance on how to best feed their children, especially the most vulnerable children under two years old.
Applauding the increase in State and Federal Governments' and partners' commitment to resolving the problem of child malnutrition over the past several years, as well as the more than US$47.9 million investment by the DFID in the WINNN programme since its inception in 2011, the participants at the meeting highlighted the need for all stakeholders to invest further.

Sickening, the Northern leaders are the most wicked and backward citizens in Africa. It is a shame.


"The objective for this project is to create a packaging set under the assumption of Aesop having their own product line for ceramics tableware. In order to match the already existing brand identity, a lot of considerations in design, user experience, and functionality were put into the process of developing this packaging.
This set retains the original natural and raw feeling that is crucial to Aesop while still having a minimal look to it that is not only easy for the customers to carry around but also offers security for the ceramics tableware.
The core idea is to create something that can be both stored and assembled easily while not taking a lot of space, the flat design of the cut out cardboard serves as a great solution since it offers a convenient way for the customer to carry their ceramics product home safely."

Crumbling Caps swept by Flyers
By - The Washington Times - Thursday, December 27, 2001
The Philadelphia Flyers completed their four-game seasonal sweep of the Washington Capitals last night. The score, Flyers 4-1, doesn't begin to summarize the lopsided edge in the play. The sight of visiting players openly chuckling on their bench said it all.
The Caps were outscored 18-4 in their four games against Philadelphia this season, and three of the four goals came in the first game, Oct.20. Flyers goalies Roman Cechmanek and Brian Boucher had a combined shutout string of 182:28 against the Caps.
The lone Caps goal came from enforcer Stephen Peat, the first of his NHL career. But it didn't come until 3:22 was left, hardly enough time to matter.
Washington is now winless in four games (0-3-1) and had to rally from a three-goal deficit to gain the tie, and that was a home game.
A festive crowd announced as 18,672 some of them vocal Philadelphia rooters watched the Caps sink to depths against the Flyers they haven't reached since the very early, dark years of the franchise Year 1 when the Caps were swept 0-4 and outscored 5-21, or Year 4 when the Flyers won all four games and held a 17-4 scoring advantage.
Goalie Olie Kolzig? Lady Godiva had better coverage. On Philadelphia's fourth goal, the Caps defenders turned and watched the Flyers pour in and score on Kolzig.
Washington played with little intensity and no apparent urgency despite their worsening situation in the standings. Some players of whom more was expected were all but invisible.
"Tonight was frustrating because it was little things we weren't doing," said coach Ron Wilson. "Turning our backs on the play in our end, playing I've-got-my-man-type of hockey and not being in a position to support someone who made a mistake, having sticks out of position it's the little mental mistakes that are basically unacceptable."
Wilson made it clear that when injured players became available, some of individuals playing now would be doing a lot of watching.
"Some guys, they're plus-minuses are reaching pretty low levels," he said. "We have to pick up our play, what else can you say. … They caught us a number of nights when we had some important people out, guys who always give you an honest effort, guys who get the job done essentially defensively. You hope that the guys who get added ice time step up and accept the responsibility and help get the job done. We'll have some healthy guys eventually and I know the guys who will be complaining … and it's going to be their own fault."
There is very little if anything positive that came out of last night. The Caps were exposed for what they are NHL wannabes when they don't play the tight-checking, defensive game that has been designed for this unit. When they get a decent effort out of all 18 skaters, the club can be a force. When they get only spot performances out of a few players and the rest mail in their games, efforts like last night result.
The Caps actually were playing pretty well for the first 10 minutes before the night evaporated into a nightmare. But then the mistakes that have been costing the club all season came back.
Ten minutes into the first, Washington had at least two chances to clear the puck out of its zone but did not, and Philadelphia converted. Luke Richardson shot and Kolzig turned the puck aside, trickling down the left side of the net. Ruslan Fedotenko retrieved the puck without opposition and deposited it in the goal.
Eight minutes later Dan McGillis took a pass from Justin Williams and advanced toward Kolzig. McGillis wore Andrei Nikolishin like a sweater while controlling the puck with his left hand. He force-fed the puck through the goalie into the net.
Keith Primeau made it 3-0 Philadelphia when he tipped a McGillis shot past Kolzig midway through the second on a power play. Little more than a minute later Fedotenko got his second of the night, a nice effort by the Flyers but a poor one by the Caps who stood around and watched while the left wing and linemate Jeremy Roenick zipped through the Washington defense as if it wasn't there.


It's been a decade since the Supersonics last shot hoops at Key Arena in Seattle for the NBA, having left to become the Oklahoma City Thunder. The abrupt relocation of the 41-year franchise left fans stunned and heartbroken, but many of those fans are determined to bring the Sonics back, as a new social campaign is rallying the troops.
'Bring 'Em Back' is a grassroots, cross-media campaign conceived by World Famous, an independent content studio based in Seattle. With an emphasis on creative storytelling, the World Famous team set out to unite and celebrate a fanbase that is still as passionate about Sonics basketball as ever as the new NBA season gets underway.
Sonics fans continue to tell stories of The Wizard, Big Smooth and The Glove. Of the first time they stepped into Key Arena. Of Ray's game winner. Jerseys are still worn with pride. The skyline silhouetted in green and gold is still the city's coat of arms. The old memories are just as strong to those fans.
Fans and potential fans of all ages are invited to connect with one another, sharing their own memories by posting a photo or video on Instagram with the hashtag #mysonicsstory. Posting recollections about their first game, their favorite players, the joy of the championship years and their unyielding loyalty during the periods of struggle, the Instagram feed offers a central place to share what the Sonics have meant and may mean again to Seattle as a community.
Additionally, the feed will be collected into a continuously updated library on Bringemback.com, the primary home for the campaign, where visitors can view the energizing fan celebration film directed by Chris Volckmann of Unheard/Of, World Famous' sister company and live action arm. Combining the gilded memories of the rich history of Seattle basketball with the shining promise of the future, the film strikes a perfect balance of what has come before with what is still yet to come, creating a frisson of expectancy and promise that will hype up even the most casual of NBA fans.
The collected stories are a testament to Seattle's dedication to the Sonics franchise, and their hopes for its future. Building off of the memories of fans, everyday folks, and players alike, the stories serve as an announcement to let the world know after 3,835 days without NBA basketball, Seattle is ready for its team to come back.
Additionally, the feed will be collected into a continuously updated library on Bringemback.com, the primary home for the campaign, where visitors can view the energizing fan celebration film directed by Chris Volckmann of Unheard/Of, World Famous' sister company and live action arm.

Appointment in the mythical spot of Hyeres for the waterwind group of riders, on January 4, 2015. The spot has has not disappointed us, giving a week end of strong mistral, and spring time temperatures.
Taking advantage of a few days off between New Year and Epiphany, I decided to stay with my family in Nice for a short holiday, also programming a windsurf session in Hyeres for sunday, since the forecasts of strong winds. Nice is a beautiful town, as well as its surrounding (I recommend Cap Ferrat, a beautiful promontory, with breathtaking views).
I arrived to the spot (La Madrague - read here the spot review) on Sunday at 11.15. The thermometer marks 20 degrees at my arrival. Great.
We chat ... The wind drops slightly. Second measurement: 15 knots average, about 20 on the gusts. The decision not to enter immediately will prove, at least from my point of view, a little unhappy, because at least I would have done almost two hours in human conditions. In fact, at 14.00 the storm begins. Third measurement: 30 knots average, about 38 on the gusts. At the beach .... So, in the water it is surely stronger.
We rig the smallest sails we have: Neil Pryde Zone 4.1 for me (my sail for special occasions ....), Norby and Michele rig a 4.2. But, it would be right a 3.7. Norby uses the quad 70 liters.
I go to the point. Summary of the session ... I did 4 rides, or maybe they were 5 ...., with 40 knots of wind. I had already tried a 35 knots wind in Porto Pollo, in Sardinia, but the conditions were easier, because the water was virtually flat.
Today, the complications are many: tremendous gusts, on-shore wind direction which makes difficult to go off shore, shorebreak at times of almost a meter, some stretches of shore filled with posidonia torn by the storm, and that forms a dense jelly, in which to move is annoying; finally, the other surfers near the shore (there are many who have some difficulty starting), and the usual kiters who enjoy riding almost on the shore, and that invariably pass to leeward, while you're departing.
To start, today, you have to bear away almost immediately to take rapidly speed, quickly to put your feet in the straps, because the table is a wild horse, and possibly to hook fast on the harness. All this before a wave, or a gust, make you fall.
Once you start, and gain speed, everything is easier, because the board remains more stable. However, the gusts are always there, and today they are bad, bad, bad.
During my rides I meet Norby sometimes: he is enjoying very much (see video). He's more expert.
Even with the 4.1, it is not easy to maintain a reasonable speed and to control the board.
This day reminds me of my first day in Hyeres, with 25 knots of Mistral, the 4.7 and 125 freeride. That day I did very little, but It was an important experiment, so that I could improve my ability and enjoy the subsequent sessions with 25 knots. For 40 knots, I still need a little practice.
The storm ends at 16,00. It remains a pleasant breeze of around ten knots, which takes us along the end of day, with the wonderful light of a winter sunset that lights ponds where flamingos feed, and the trunks of pine trees.
We all meet at the parked cars, with families, partners and friends around.
I chat with Michele. He too entered into the water, but when the sand has stopped flying ... He complains that his Fanatic freestyle 100 liters is too light, and not suited for these conditions.
We say bye to each other (Norby leaves for Milan, I come back to Nice, Marco and Michele will stay one more day in Hyeres).
It was not my most memorable session in Hyeres, but I'm sure it was an important step in my surfing career. Also from a psychological point of view: I tried to get into the water with 40 knots. But I surely learned something even from a technical point of view.
I can not wait to get back to Hyeres with the rest of the Waterwind group, although, perhaps, with a wind slightly more forgiving.

Buy Pre-1933 Gold Coins /
$5 Indian Head Gold Coins
The History of the $5 Indian Head Gold Coin
The $5 Gold Indian Head gold coin, also known as a Half-Eagle, is nearly identical in design, save for it's 5 dollar denomination, to it's $2 1/2 counterpart. Both were designed by Bela Lyon Pratt. Pratt was a protege of Augustus Saint-Gaudens, and this is where the embroiled history of this coin's design begins. Augustus was commissioned by President Theodore Roosevelt to redesign the gold coins being produced as currency for the United States. Roosevelt felt that the current coins were lacking in design and beauty commensurate with the power and stature that the United States had achieved.
Augustus Saint-Gaudens finished the design for the $20 Double Eagle, but died of cancer before he could design a new $5 piece and the powers in place at the U.S. Mint did not find the design for the $20 Double Eagle suitable to be resized to the smaller $5 and $2 1/2 coins. Pratt was the second artist to design a coin for the U.S Government that was not a U.S. Mint employee, Saint-Gaudens being the first. Pratt's original design was modified before production by Charles E. Barber who was the Chief Engraver at the U.S. Mint, and these alterations led Pratt to declare that he was "Ashamed" of the final product of his design.
Nevertheless, many from novice to experienced collectors find the coin quite striking and beautiful and this has led to very high premiums (And therefore profits), over the value of the gold contained in the coin. The 1929 strike of this coin can be very valuable, especially in excellent condition, however the more common dates allow those with even a modest budget to own a fine piece of American History.

The $5.00 Gold Indian Head Coin is Easy to Add to Your Portfolio
Just as these fractional coins (a coin having a weight of less than one ounce) were easy to use for day to day purchases and bill and debt settlements back when they were originally minted and circulated, today they are easy to acquire and add to your portfolio. A specimen of the $5.00 Indian in XF condition (Extremely Fine) can be had for just a few hundred dollars. Whether you are new to buying old U.S. gold and silver coins, or whether you have been buying rare coins for a while now, you will find that your portfolio will benefit greatly when you constantly and consistently add to it, and the current pricing and availability of these coins makes adding one to your shopping cart today easy!
These coins are easy to store, easy to liquidate or convert to cash, and because of their unique qualities and high degree of ornate detail and quality craftmanship, these coins are easy for even the relatively untrained eye to determine as genuine.
Also, because the Indian Head design was produced in $2 1/2, $5.00, and $10.00 denominations, many collectors and investors alike choose to add one of each denomination to their portfolios. Unlike the coinage of today, which uses a different obverse and reverse (front and back) design for each denomination, these coins shared the finely detailed designs in varying sizes to fit the size of the coin's face.
While the details are most easy to see on the larger $10.00 Indian gold coin, they are still quite visible and pleasing on the $5.00 coin. If you so choose, you may decide to acquire a $5.00 Indian Head gold coin in a higher grade or Mint State for a relatively small increase in price. Keep in mind that over time, these coins not only rise in value as the price of gold increases, but because as the interest and participation in the gold market increases, demand and therefor prices for these coins tends to increase over time as well.
New bullion coins are produced nearly everyday, but these coins Indian Head gold coins have not been minted in some cases for over a century, and their numbers are only decreasing over time as a few a are lost to fire, flood, etc. each year. The laws of supply and demand are on your side when you own a rare and beautiful coin such as this $5.00 Indian Head.
Legalities and Specifics About the Gold Indian Head Coin
The $5 Gold Indian and the $5 Liberty coin are both commonly referred to as Half-Eagles because the Mint Act of 1792 declared the "Eagle" to have a value of $10 U.S. Similar legislations required that "United States of America" and "E Pluribus Unum" both appear on the coin. Pratt also inscribed "In God We Trust" into the back, or reverse, of the coin in keeping with the desire and demand of the people of the United States.
The $5 Indian is composed of 90% pure gold and 10% copper, as pure gold coins are too soft for the rigors of use in commerce. Pratt's design of an Indian Chief in headdress on the front of the coin, and his rendition of an eagle clutching arrows and an olive branch on the rear of the coin, are struck incused. The incuse, or sunken design of the coin was meant to aid in the stacking and daily use of the coins, but the public was slow to accept this depressed design, fearing that the coin would harbor disease and sickness. To date, the $5 Indian and the $2 1/2 Indian are the only American coins to be struck in this manner. Ironically, for the very reason that made the coin unpopular at it's release, the coin is now sought after simply because of this anomaly among American coinage.
