FORT SMITH, Ark. —
Update: A jury tonight ruled in favor of the plaintiffs after contractors sued the City of Fort Smith for work that was done at the now defunct River Valley Sports Complex.
City spokesperson Karen Santos says the city will consider an appeal, but there is no official decision yet.
Earlier story:
A handful of local contractors are suing the city for close to $200,000.
"I got paid $30,500 out of almost $46,000 thousand dollars that was owed, " said Shawn MeGehee.
Megehee installed chain link fencing around some softball fields at the complex. He told 40/29 News he's still owed close to $15,000, "To any small business man it matters."
Others are suing the city for electrical work and for dirt work done at the complex.
Private business owner and Sebastian County Election Coordinator Lee Webb was a co-developer for the RVSC. Webb testified in court that he oversaw the day to day activities of the project that was funded by the City of Fort Smith.
The other developer for the RVSC was Jake Files. Files is currently serving an 18-month federal prison sentence after pleading guilty to fraud and money laundering, related to general improvement funds that were supposed to be used for work at the RVSC. Files admitted to misusing those funds for his personal gain.
Webb was never charged for committing any crimes and testified on Tuesday in Sebastian County Circuit Court that there was no money to pay the workers once the city cancelled the contract for the RVSC, after the project was more than 2 years past deadline.
40/29 News obtained an audit of work done at the RVSC. The report was gathered by a local engineering firm and claimed the two concession stands that were built were not up to code and were not safe.
"Now we own unfinished fields, lights and two concession stands that have been recommended to the city to demolish," said City Administrator Carl Geffken.
Geffken agreed that the workers should be paid, but testified that according to the contract, it was the responsibility of the RVSC developers to hire and pay for work done at the complex.
Initially, the city partnered with the RVSC to build 8 softball fields on donated land at Chaffee Crossing. The complex was estimated to be a nearly $5,000,000 project. But, with donations of work and supplies, Files and Webb had hopes of completing the project for $1,600,000, which, is the amount city leaders agreed to fund.
In court, Webb testified once the contract was cancelled with the city there was no money to pay the workers.
"I was hired by Lee Webb which controlled the River Valley Sports Complex but from what I'm hearing in testimony the city of Fort Smith controls the sports complex and they control the money," said Megehee.
Attorneys who are suing the city on behalf of their clients claimed in court that the City of Fort Smith was ultimately in charge of the project and should pay what's owed to the workers.
But, Geffken told 40/29 News it's not the city's fault that the workers did not receive payment in full, "It's a very nice story that fits to get them paid." Geffken said. "The city is not happy that neither Mr Webb or Mr. Files paid the vendors for the work that was performed. We were just a contributing entity."

Windsor city council recently heard from the public both speaking for and against putting fluoride back in the cities drinking water. Council also heard a scathing report from the Windsor Essex County Health Unit that made councillors reverse their stand on fluoride.
However, the 2017 Canadian Dental Association report on The State of Oral Health in Canada reads differently: "Collectively, Canadians have experienced significant decreases in levels of dental decay over the past 40 years," according to Health Canada's Report on the Findings of the Oral Health Component of the Canadian Health Measures Survey.
The percentage of the population that consults a dentist per year increased from 49.5 per cent to 74.5 per cent.
The percentage of children with at least one decayed tooth decreased from 74 per cent to 23.6 per cent.
The percentage of adolescents with at least one decayed tooth decreased from 96.6 per cent to 58.8 per cent.
The percentage of adults with no natural teeth decreased from 23.6 per cent to 6.4per cent.
Please don't use poverty as an excuse to add fluoride to drinking water. Individuals need to be shown proper techniques when using toothpaste to brush their teeth. If council really cares about dental health, there are other programs available.
Don't throw the baby out with the fluoride-laced bath water.


Yesterday i had a great 45 minute steady (!?) run with one of my old friends, and super marathoner, Lucy – who i met back in 2003 when i was training with the legendary coach Frank Horwill. We headed to Richmond Park, which is a stones throw away from both our houses. Richmond Park is a haven of tranquilly amidst the noise and chaos of London, and never ceases to lift my soul, even on a dull, rainy day. The Park changes each day and with the seasons – the sight and smell of spring is particularly heartwarming – as the landscape is coming alive with new growth, as well as athletes eagerly preparing for the triathlon season and the London Marathon in April. The multitude of trails criss-cross haphazardly through the park, and you never have to take the same path twice. They pass through grassland, scrubland, around ponds and lakes, up and down slopes and through copses of mixed woodland. The trees are amazing, like old grandfathers that have seen generations of athletes pass beneath them, and the deer that inhabit the Park are simply beautiful – seeing a regal stag silhouetted against the rising sun never fails to take my breathe away.
It would be amazing if the Park was closed to motorists for part of the day, like Central Park in New York. Motorists could still drive to the park by car, but be required to use the car parks closest to their point of entry – and then be free to explore this amazing landscape and facility on foot, on a horse or by bike. Alternatively, as with Central Park, vehicles could be allowed to go in only one direction around the park, leaving the other lane for cyclists, roller-bladers and runners to use.
But despite this small gripe re motorists, the Park truly is a fantastic resource for everyone living in south west London, and yesterday's run with Lucy made me realise how lucky we are to be able to experience these special places, under own own steam (and with steam coming out of my ears as i struggle to keep up with Lucy and her 'steady' – aka superhuman- pace). Open your eyes and smell the flowers – and run happy everyone!

arbara McClintock (1902-1992) was a remarkable scien-I tist who made several very important discoveries in genetics dealing with chromosome structure. Her studies were carried out before the age of large interdisciplinary research teams and before the sophisticated tools of molecular genetics were available. Her tools consisted of a clear mind that could make sense of confusing and revolutionary observations, and a consuming curiosity. She worked 12-hour days, 6 days a week in a small laboratory at Cold Spring Harbor on Long Island, New York.
In 1983, at age 81, McClintock received the Nobel Prize in Medicine or Physiology largely for her discovery 40 years earlier of transposable elements, or transposons, popularly called "jumping genes." Her experimental system consisted of ears of corn. She observed various colored kernels that were produced by different enzymes (see figure 8.3). If the gene coding for an enzyme responsible for color formation was inactivated, the kernel was not pig-mented. If the enzyme was only partially inactivated, then the kernel was partially pigmented. Thus, by looking at kernel colors, McClintock could detect changes in genes. She concluded that pieces of DNA must be moving from one site on the chromosome to another, because the kernels had different colors. When a piece of DNA, the transposable element, moved into a gene, the gene was unable to function. When the transposable element left a gene, and the gene was restored, it would function properly again.
At the time McClintock published her results, most scientists believed that chromosomes were very stable and unchanging. Consequently, most geneticists were very skeptical of McClintock's heretical ideas. As a result, she stopped publishing many of her observations. It was not until the late 1970s that her ideas were accepted. By that time, transposable elements had been discovered in many organisms, including bacteria. Although first discovered in plants, once transposons were found in bacteria, the field moved ahead very quickly. The techniques of molecular biology, biochemistry, and genetics made the understanding of "jumping genes" possible.
DNA bursts from this treated bacterial cell.
again, and many of the Shigella strains causing dysentery were resistant to sulfa. Fortunately, these organisms remained susceptible to such antibiotics as streptomycin, chloramphenicol, and tetracycline. A new problem arose, however. In 1955, a Japanese woman returning from Hong Kong developed Shigella dysentery that did not respond to any antimicrobial treatment.
In the next several years, a number of dysentery epidemics developed in Japan. In some patients, the causative organisms were sensitive to antimicrobial medications; in others, they were resistant. Curiously, bacteria isolated from certain patients treated with a single antimicrobial medication abruptly became resistant not only to that medication but also to other antimicrobials as well. In addition, cells of Escherichia coli residing in the large intestine of many of the patients who carried antimicrobial-resistant organisms were also resistant to the same antimicrobial medications.
192 Chapter 8 Bacterial Genetics other sensitive cells in the population, thereby creating a largely resistant population of cells.
Bacterial genetics encompasses the study of heredity— how genes function, how they can change, and how they are transferred to other cells in the population. After reading this chapter, you should understand how antimicrobial resistance has become such a serious problem in the treatment of infectious disease today.

There has been a dramatic development involving the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Estate and the licencing of the characters Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson. Holmesian scholar Leslie S. Klinger has filed a civil action in the United States District Court arguing that the characters are no longer protected by copyright laws. Therefore, anyone should be able to use them in their writing, films etc without having to pay a fee to the Doyle estate who own the remaining copyright. Full information is available on the http://free-sherlock.com/ website.
Klinger and a fellow author were co-editing a book containing stories inspired by the original Sir Arthur Conan Doyle works.
I share Klinger's views completely. He is a lawyer and fully respects that the Estate owns copyright to ten of the original stories in the US which appeared in The Case Book of Sherlock Holmes. His issue is that those characters are already known through the other stories which are no longer protected by copyright. So anyone should be able to use them. Not only does this make perfect legal and common sense, but it is also good for the legacy of Holmes and ultimately Doyle himself. The more pastiches, films, TV dramas, essays, blogs in the world about Holmes, the more likely we are to keep the character alive and thriving. I'm sure Doyle would want this – to know that he is inspiring generations through the characters he created. Though he would probably think we are all completely mad.
Surely the Doyle family would be better focusing their efforts on the Save Undershaw campaign – something which I'm sure Doyle would be in support of. Protecting the former home which Doyle designed and lived in seems a more worthy cause than trying to protect fictional characters that are established in the public domain. I certainly don't know this as a fact, but as far as I'm aware, the Doyle family has played no part in the Save Undershaw campaign so far. If I'm wrong, do please use the comments section below and correct me.
So I say a big "well done!" to Klinger and will follow the case with interest.
This entry was posted in Save Undershaw, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and tagged arthur conan doyle, Undershaw. Bookmark the permalink.
While I tend to sympathize with both you and Leslie Klinger, I do think it is probably sufficient to argue the legalities of the case and not to impute possible beliefs or motivations to Conan Doyle. We don't know what he would think, and when it comes to copyright law it doesn't matter.
We can't possibly know how he would feel about the fight to save Undershaw but I am surprised that the Doyle Estate haven't offered support – even though it would not benefit them financially. Doyle himself did many things which were not motivated by money – fighting to support victims of injustice and his support for spiritualism. It seems a shame that this spirit doesn't appear to be shared by those guarding his legacy. (However, I must point out that I don't know for sure that the Doyle family haven't supported Undershaw. I just haven't heard mention of it during my own research of the campaign). Thanks for your comments.
Saving Undershaw is very unlikely to generate revenues for the Doyle Estate. Licensing Sherlock Holmes does produce revenues for the Estate. Money talks. It is as simple as that.
You are right and it does seem very sad if the family haven't got involved in Save Undershaw. Doyle himself fought two campaigns where he felt there was injustice – the cases of George Edalji and Oscar Slater – even though there was nothing in it for him financially. He was motivated by a sense of justice and fought for things he believed in – from the Boer war to spiritualism. It is a shame if those in charge of his legacy don't share the same philosophy. However, I must add that I don't know for a fact that they haven't supported Undershaw. I just haven't come across any involvement during my own research.
An open and shut case, surely?

Senior Vice President for Research
A Republican congressman warned Tuesday that the Palestinian Authority would lose U.S. aid if officials affiliated with terror group Hamas succeed Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.
Following the resignation of reform-minded Prime Minister Salam Fayyad, a Hamas lawmaker is currently in line to replace the 78-year-old Abbas should he die or become incapacitated. Regional experts say the exit of the PA's lead reformer only increases the chances that Hamas could gain a foothold in the PA.
Hamas' anticipated rise to power in the PA could lead to a cut off in critical U.S. aid dollars and foster an even more fraught relationship with Israel and America, according to the Rep. Peter Roskam (R., Ill.), the House's chief deputy whip.
United States law dictates that no taxpayer aid shall be awarded to Hamas, meaning that aid to the PA would also be cut should a member of the terrorist group rise to power.
Dweik's ascension to power in the PA would "foster a crisis in U.S. relations and Israeli-Palestinian relations and result in a cut off in international funding," which could lead to the PA's collapse, according to Jonathan Schanzer, a former terrorism finance analyst at the U.S. Treasury Department.
"The Roskam bill highlights the deficit in leadership and sucession—a crisis that needs to be avoided," Schanzer said.
While House lawmakers have not yet discussed the new legislation with PA representative in D.C., Roskam said the implications are clear.
"I think the world is on notice that with the resignation of Fayyad that there are changes at the PA," said Roskam.

Israel's Caesarea Golf Club will host the 3rd Annual Ezer Mizion Golf Classic tournament on Thursday, Nov. 21. The event, which is due to attract golfers and philanthropists from the United States, Canada and Israel, will raise funds for Ezer Mizion's Bone Marrow Donor Registry, the global Jewish bone marrow donor registry.
Ezer Mizion, a non-profit organization that provides a wide variety of professional services and programs to the ill, handicapped, and elderly in Israel, is best known for their numerous activities on behalf of cancer patients around the world. The organization's Bone Marrow Donor Registry, the fourth largest international registry, has facilitated hundreds of life-saving stem cell transplants.
"For many individuals suffering from cancer or other life-threatening diseases, a stem cell transplant offers the only chance for survival. As such, it is essential that we promote international awareness of our registry and raise the funds necessary to keep this lifeline strong," said Rabbi Chananya Chollak, founder and international chair of Ezer Mizion.
"Ezer Mizion's efforts to support those in need are legendary, and the number of individuals saved via their bone marrow registry is simply staggering. It is our greatest honor to be partnering with them in this effort to rally international support for this vital cause," said Andy Santos, Caesarea Golf Club's head golf pro and spokesperson.
Since its establishment in 1998, Ezer Mizion's Bone Marrow Donor Registry has grown to include close to 650,000 potential stem cell donors. The registry, which is affiliated with the National Bone Marrow Donor Program and is a member of Bone Marrow Donors Worldwide, has handled thousands of search requests from transplant centers in 48 countries and has made nearly 5,000 complete donor-patient matches.
Following the tournament, participants will enjoy a gala dinner and awards ceremony at the Dan Hotel Caesarea.

The National Palm Produce Association of Nigeria (NPPAN) in Ondo state has raised alarm over the wave of illegal importation of crude Palm oil into the country, describing it as a sabotage against the policy of the Federal government.
Speaking on the development during a Press, briefing the Chairman of NNPAN in the state, Chief Bolarinwa Adetula, called on federal government and other stakeholders to urgently check the increasing importation of Palm oil into the country.
According to him, the new trend of allowing cheap Palm oil into the country has forced many farmers out of business despite the policy of the present administration in the country to rehabilitate abandoned plantations, in order to increase the nation's output of Palm oil.
Adetula, also said that the illegal importation has also been affecting the sector adversely noting that most of the workers in the sector would soon be laid off saying this is killing jobs in Nigeria.
According to the association, the illegal operators in the industry are the cause of the lack of revenue generation in the industry, urging government to set up a supervisory body to check the illegal activities.
"One of the cardinal goals of the government is to increase employment and it is known to all, that agriculture is a high employer of labour. An hectare of oil palm plantation will employ five permanent workers.
The association, however called on the Federal government to do all the needful to stem the trend of illegal importation to protect jobs as the industry remains one of the biggest employer of labour.

Leading Women ChangemakeHERS Reveal Blueprints for Action
Origen: Ashoka
Link to https://www.ashoka.org/es-cl/story/leading-women-changemakehers-reveal-blueprints-action copied.
Celebrating the International Women's Day Centennial
Imagine a master class for social change: an academy of action where concrete advice, guidance, and direction for every level of changemaking – from the first spark of an idea to the scaling of an innovation across the globe – are shared by some of the world's most accomplished innovators and activists.
Imagine their insights then analyzed and distilled – aggregated to identify common threads of wisdom that inform a comprehensive tool for changemakers, a first-ever definitive blueprint for effective action at every level of changemaking.
Ashoka's Changemakers brings these elements together in ChangemakeHERS, a campaign launched in honor of International Women's Day that presents the collective wisdom of some of the world's most accomplished women. This campaign reaches across the globe and into Ashoka's deep 30-year history as the pioneer and leader in global social change.
Each day, the Changemakers Idea ExChange blog will feature invaluable, concrete advice that only experienced, successful leaders can provide. In their own words, they will share what works and what doesn't.
Iman Bibars knows both. A veteran social entrepreneur and women's rights activist in Egypt, she is an Ashoka Vice President and Regional Director for the Middle East and North Africa.
"To encourage and advance collaboration, you cannot just make an introduction," she said. "You can't simply say to a social innovator, 'You know, I want to put you in touch with someone else doing great things in your field. I think you could really help each other achieve your goals.' That won't work."
What does work, she says, is setting up a framework that allows complementary innovators to come together and work effectively. It is a process that requires strong leadership. In her blog she will explain, step-by-step, how she sets up such a framework to enable social entrepreneurs to collaborate. "Collaboration is the key to making large-scale and profound change."
But large-scale change does not happen without small-scale change first, and ChangemakeHERS also will offer plenty of advice for people just getting started.
"One of the most powerful assets a budding changemaker can seek is mentorship," said Sejal Hathi, founder and executive director of Girls Helping Girls. "Being able to go to someone you trust to discuss, debate, reshape ideas—someone who feels as comfortable sharing with you her fortes and foibles as you do connecting with her—is incredibly valuable, because that relationship becomes a tool and a portal for discovering parts of yourself that you never otherwise would have known existed, and that could prove key to your projects' success. But mentorship is like any other relationship: it takes conscious effort and time to cultivate."
The women featured on Idea ExChange are breaking down barriers to women's empowerment and, through innovation, are tackling global problems on every front. Some of them are doing it in their own communities, others on a global scale. They work in different fields, in different countries, in different conditions. What they all share is a deep belief that everyone is a changemaker.
They build strong organizations and networks. They unlock economic wealth by pioneering property rights. They confront gender inequality through technology. They leverage the power of sport to combat rape and HIV. They build solar energy distribution networks that employ and empower. They have succeeded at reaching their goals, and they continue to reach for more.
These women are inspiring, but ChangemakeHERS will take their expertise well beyond inspiration. It will be captured in a way that accelerates change. At the end of the month, Changemakers experts, with a decade of experience in analyzing and distilling trends, barriers, and opportunities in the field of social change, will convert the teachings into a tool for success for women around the world and for anyone working to make a difference.
About Ashoka's Changemakers
Ashoka's Changemakers is an online community of action connecting social entrepreneurs around the globe to share ideas, inspire, and mentor each other. Through its online collaborative competitions and open-source process, Changemakers.com builds on Ashoka's three-decade history and vision for an "Everyone a Changemaker" world by creating a place where the best ideas in social innovation can be shared, refined, and funded.

Matthias Pintscher's Bio
The New York Philharmonic and American Composers Orchestra, in collaboration with ACO's EarShot: the National Orchestra Composition Discovery Network, announce the selection of six emerging composers from an international pool of more than 400 applicants from seven countries and 37 states ranging in age from 9 to 84, whose original scores for orchestra have been chosen for readings and performances by the Philharmonic as part of the inaugural NY PHIL BIENNIAL.
New York Philharmonic Music Director Alan Gilbert will lead the Philharmonic in a closed reading session of six works on June 3, at which the participants and mentor composers will be present. Three pieces will be selected to be performed on NY PHIL BIENNIAL concerts taking place on June 5 and 7, with Alan Gilbert conducting, and on June 6, with Matthias Pintcher conducting, at Avery Fisher Hall. Alan Gilbert will meet with the participating composers before the June 3 reading, take part in feedback meetings along with Philharmonic musicians and mentor composers, and meet individually with the three composers whose works are selected. The mentor composers for the New York Philharmonic EarShot Readings are Christopher Rouse, Steve Mackey, Derek Bermel, Robert Beaser, and Matthias Pintscher.
"The New York Philharmonic's presentation of works discovered through the EarShot composition discovery program is a particularly important and gratifying element of the NY PHIL BIENNIAL," Alan Gilbert said. "Our goal for this project is to share with our audience the freshest music from new voices today. When we announced the call for scores we had no idea what it would yield. We were overwhelmed by the more than 400 submissions we received, and it was quite a challenge to hone them down to six for the Orchestra to read — I can honestly say that I have no idea which three will be selected to be performed on our concerts. Supporting new compositions and composers is imperative in keeping orchestras and classical music vital, and on a personal level, it fills me with great joy to be able to work with emerging composers to give them a platform for discovery."
Michael Geller, president of ACO, adds: "American Composers Orchestra is excited to extend our role as a catalyst for emerging American composers by collaborating with the New York Philharmonic, whose NY PHIL BIENNIAL has a mission kindred to our own." Geller Continues, "We are also delighted to partner with the Philharmonic in its own readings program under the auspices of EarShot, the National Orchestra Composition Discovery Network. The New York Philharmonic is joining a growing roster of orchestras across the country in working with Earshot to connect to the next generation of great new composers and bring their music to their musicians and audiences."
The New York Philharmonic Readings are organized in partnership with EarShot, a program of the American Composers Orchestra in collaboration with the American Composers Forum, League of American Orchestras, and New Music USA. EarShot helps orchestras around the country to identify and support promising composers in the early stages of their careers. EarShot advises organizations on the programs that would best suit their new-composer needs — from new-music readings to composer residencies and competitions — and assists with planning, identifying composers through its extensive nationwide calls, and program design and execution.
CAREER DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOPS:
The Underwood New Music Readings also offer composers, students, or anyone interested in learning more about the business of being a composer a Career Development Seminar on Saturday, June 7 from 10am-4pm at the DiMenna Center. These invaluable talks, led by leaders in the industry, provide information ranging from copyright and commission agreements, to music preparation, to promotion, and fundraising.
The workshops are a practical guide for any composer wishing to gain a better understanding of these critical aspects to success as a composer today. Previously only available to participants in the Readings, ACO has made a limited number of spaces available to aspiring composers from the community for a small registration fee.
The cost for the Seminar is $25, which includes lunch. Reservations required.

"The sacraments are 'of the Church' in the double sense that they are 'by her' and 'for her.' They are 'by the Church,' for she is the sacrament of Christ's action at work in her through the mission of the Holy Spirit. They are 'for the Church,' since they manifest and communicate to men, above all in the Eucharist, the mystery of communion with the God who is love, One in three persons." (CCC 1118)

You'll find at the heart of all that we represent is sacred tradition.
The sacredness of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is of vital importance to us. Whether it's how our Masses are celebrated, how we teach our religious education classes, how we prepare for and administer the sacraments, or how we carry out a Christian burial, tradition remains at the core.
Passing on the traditions of our faith is a priority with our parishes and cemeteries.
This appreciation of tradition is of great appeal to both new parishioners and long-time members. New parishioners tend to be younger generations who are in search of tradition – perhaps lost in so many parishes. We are a community where tradition began in Kenosha and where tradition continues. We invite you to peruse our website and learn how you can become a part of our rich heritage.

'Miracle baby' who weighed 1 pound at birth to be released from hospital
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (KTVU, KCRA) - He's being called a miracle baby-- Born weighing just 1 pound, 4.5 ounces, within minutes after he entered the world, he had paramedics working to resuscitate him.
His chances for survival were slim.
But now after four months in the hospital, Little Leni is set to go home this week.
The Sacramento infant was born after his mother went into emergency labor at home on May 9th, about four months before his due date.
His mom, Chastity, was only 22 weeks into her pregnancy.
"I didn't even know I was in labor at first," Chastity told KCRA. "He wasn't a regular baby. He was blue and purple. I didn't think he was going to live, and I'm looking at my son like, 'Oh my God, please live. Don't die on me.'"
When paramedics arrived, they used special miniature equipment designed for preemies to make sure the baby would receive oxygen.
And they wrapped him in a medical aluminum-covered sheet to keep him warm while they worked on his tiny body.
"You see this huge firefighter with this small infant trying to breathe for him," Chastity said. "I'm like, 'Oh my goodness. Oh my goodness, you survived.'"
The baby was rushed to Sutter Medical Center in Sacramento and has since been receiving care at the hospital's NICU.
On Monday, hospital officials and joined Leni's family to celebrate the child, they're calling a fighter and a champ.
Leni now weighs in at 6 pounds, 3.5 ounces.
"He wasn't supposed to live through the first week he was born," Chastity said. "He had an IV in his head. They had to open it and put it in the back of his head. He had so many surgeries."
Monday's celebration also included a reunion with one of the paramedics who helped save the baby right after he was born.
The 20-year-old mom praised the medic team and got a chance to offer a face to face thanks to Sacramento Fire Department's David Robinson.
"You guys came right on time. You were so efficient with everything and so quick and so patient," Chastity said. "You saved his life."
Sutter Health says Leni is the hospital's youngest newborn to be resuscitated.
Doctors say the chance of survival for a micro-preemie, like Leni, is about 5 percent.
"There are a lot of children this age who would not survive, particularly in the circumstances of an emergency home delivery," Sutter Health Director of Pediatrics Paul Walsh said.
The infant will require follow-up examinations, as doctors will keep an eye on potential complications with the child's vision, kidneys, and lungs.
But after watching him get through many touch and go moments during his short life, there is a lot of optimism.
"He's going out into the world with lots of support, and he's lucky to be going out to it at all," Walsh said.
Leni's mom said she's celebrating every moment, every small milestone and is excited to bring her baby home.
"He's definitely my miracle baby. I don't know what I would have done if he didn't survive," Chastity said.

It's the same old stuff I used to pay Sky for. Reality tv does not have long left to go. So 2000's.
Blaze's launch has also led to other side effects occurring on COM4 - ITV2+1 has an hour cut from the schedule - it's now operating from 6am to 3am. Not sure where the hour will go to though. ITV4 and ITVBe timeshifts are now to operate on the remainder of ITV2+1 capacity, Be+1 for 4am and 4+1 for 5am, before switching to ITV2+1.
Edit: Blaze+1 is eating in on Blaze capacity - 3am to 4am - with listings identical to the main channel, rather than timeshifted. Indicates that it's a placeholder with the aim of gaining capacity in the future, as speculated before.
Will add in for the latest changes on COM4 with regards to Blaze's launch.
There are a mix of programme and generic idents.
I'll give them credit, Blaze have a live stream with 2 hour rewind.
ITV2+1 takes a hit - The Store, ITVBe+1 and ITV4+1 have snagged a hour out of the stream each from 3am to 6am.
Blaze has taken capacity from The Store to fully launch on LCN 83, Blaze+1 takes up Blaze capacity between 3am and 4am.
Note that ITV4+1 has moved to ITV2+1 capacity, TJC now has an entire stream to itself.
I guess then no fee at all it paid for the EPG slot (unlike Sky I think), leading to these ridiculous middle of the night 1 hour +1 channels which are just holding slots for channels which may never launch. Really time Freeview put an end to the practice either by having a minimal number of broadcast hours (as Sky do) or a fee for EPG slots (as I'm sure Sky do).
Tend to agree, but we might just as well wait for the 700mhz clearance detail first. Freeview will by then have an effective max number of channels that wont change much and can plan accordingly.

Seattle topped local market NFL ratings for the 5th week of the season with a 46.3/70 household rating share for the Seahawks' week 4 Monday Night Football contest versus the Detroit Lions (the rest of the games in the list below were week 5 games).
This doesn't mean more people in Seattle watched football than in New York, it just means a (much) higher percentage of people in Seattle watched football than in New York, but New York's market is so much bigger than Seattle's that it still means more homes were tuned-in in New York than in Seattle.
46.3% of the Seattle-Tacoma market is around 818,000 homes. 16.8% of the New York market is around 1.24 million. Here's a list ranking the number of homes in each Nielsen market.

Texworld, Apparel Sourcing fairs to be held in Feb 2023 in France
Trade fair Texworld Evolution Paris will open its doors from February 6-8, 2023, at the Paris-Le Bourget Exhibition Centre in France. For three days, Apparel Sourcing Paris and Texworld Paris will highlight global offerings for fashion brands, from ready-to-wear to luxury. For this edition, accompanying the recovery of international business, event organiser Messe Frankfurt France anticipates a participation close to pre-crisis levels for most of the major sourcing countries.
For Texworld Paris, which brings together textile offerings, as well as for Apparel Sourcing Paris, focused on finished products, the commitments in terms of square meters are, at this stage, higher than the levels reached last July, according to a press release by Messe Frankfurt group.
The signs of recovery from the major Asian countries are therefore very positive. As far as China is concerned, the gradual lifting of health constraints on travel is encouraging the already strong demand from exhibitors and manufacturers from this key international sourcing area. Despite the uncertainties of the health situation, the desire to come is there, and the presence of more than a hundred Chinese companies is already confirmed.
At Texworld Paris, Turkish manufacturers will once again be strongly represented this year. Loyal partners of the Messe Frankfurt France trade fairs, they will be more than 100 presents, divided between the Turkish national pavilion, which is very developed this year, the Elite area, where they have always been very visible, and in the area dedicated to denim offerings.
The Korean pavilion, supported by the Korea Federation of Textile Industries, is also expanding. India, absent last February due to the pandemic, will be making a comeback, as will Indonesia and Taiwan, with leading companies that have, for the most part, been absent from Europe since 2021.
Similar trends will be seen at Apparel Sourcing Paris, where many Chinese and Hong Kong companies have already confirmed their attendance. Pakistan has confirmed its return, as has Bangladesh, whose representatives seemed very satisfied with the activity generated last February. Sri Lanka and Mongolia renewed their presence with their exceptional know-how. For all these major sourcing countries, the trade fair should return to its pre-crisis level.
Several new features will mark this edition. First of all, a red thread will be used to guide visitors along a route that links all the main attractions of the trade fair: the Elite area, the Denim zone — with its Turkish, Bangladeshi, Chinese and Indian exhibitors —, the major national pavilions, the Trend Forum and the Agora, where all the events and content created by the Texworld Evolution Paris team will be gathered.
Also new, the sustainable sourcing itinerary has been revised. A single logo will now make it easier for buyers to identify companies that are taking steps towards social and environmental responsibility, added the release.
Another notable change in the strategy of Texworld Evolution Paris is that Avantex Paris and Leatherworld Paris will become annual in 2023 and will therefore only return in July 2023. An annual cycle specifically allows a better reflection of the innovations in services and materials presented at Avantex Paris, whose pace is slower than that of the fashion industry.
The same goes for Leatherworld Paris, where the seasonal nature of the offer — now focused exclusively on natural leather — is not the same as that of the fabric collections.
Innovation will of course remain a key feature of the Agora, since the conferences and round tables proposed during this February edition will deal with subjects and themes linked to the evolution of the textile value chain.

Shooters Party says Brian Burston tried to defect
Phillip CooreyChief Political Correspondent
Updated May 31, 2018 – 8.39pm, first published at 8.19am
Shooters, Fishers and Farmers Party leader Robert Borsack has rejected what he says was an approach by rogue One Nation NSW Senator Brian Burston to join his party.
On the same day it was revealed Senator Burston would defy Pauline Hanson and vote for the company tax cuts, Mr Borsack, a NSW state Upper House told The Australian Financial Review that Senator Burston had made an approach in Thursday.
"He approached our state director to have a meeting to discuss coming over to us,' Mr Borsack said.

"I rejected it. I don't think he'd be a good representative for us.
"We're not that desperate for a Canberra representative at the moment and when we do, we'll use our own people."
Senator Burston told The Financial Review he "never" approached the party but would not comment further.
But One Nation is in turmoil.
Other sources said Senator Burston had also proposed a new party with other Senate independents including David Leyonhjelm and Fraser Anning over dinner last week but was rejected.
If he does leave, One Nation will lose its balance of power in the Senate.
Senator Hanson rounded on him Thursday night.
"For Brian Burston to turn around and do this to me, it is hard. I am not finished, and if you think Brian Burston or anyone else will finish me, they will not. At the end of the day I will win," Senator Hanson told Sky News.
Hours earlier, Senator Hanson had refused to guarantee Senator Burston's preselection on the One Nation ticket at the next federal election.
It is understood Senator Burston has felt his position to be under threat for some time and this, in part, motivated his decision to break ranks on company tax and honour the deal One Nation made with Finance Minister mathias Cormann.
The fragmentation of her party only hardened Senator Hanson's resolve to scuttle the government's company tax cuts.
With her authority under challenge, Senator Hanson said late Thursday that neither she nor the third One Nation Senator Peter Georgiou would support any further extension to the company tax package.
"We've made our stance very clear and I'm not going to back down on this," Senator Hanson said, claiming the government was not doing enough about multinational tax avoidance or debt.
"We cannot keep giving tax cuts if we are going to give tax cuts, give it to the ordinary Australians, the PAYE taxpayers, personal tax cuts, they're the ones who are doing it tough," he said.
"I understand businesses are doing it tough as well but we've got to bring down living costs."
Her stance sets up a showdown with the government which, despite still lacking the numbers, is intent on putting the legislation to a vote after the Senate returns on June 18.
Senator Burston says he was not consulted by Senator Hanson before last week's about face in which she withdrew One Nation's three Senate votes, following blowback from voters in her native Queensland and the July 28 byelection contest in the seat of Longman. A row erupted and he was sacked as the party's whip and replaced by the third One Nation Senator Peter Georgiou.
Senator Burston told The Australian newspaper he was blindsided by the about-face and, as a "very principled person", he would honour the deal struck with Senator Cormann in March. The included toughening the Petroleum Resources Rent tax and a new rural apprenticeship scheme.
"I don't want to cause any angst or division in One Nation, but once I make a handshake with somebody - that's it. I stick to my word," Senator Burston said.
Senator Hanson has disputed her colleague, saying she rang him on Monday morning last week to tell him of the policy change, the day before it was announced. She said he agreed with the decision.
"He is a member of the party and he is still a representative of One Nation," she said.
Senator Burston's decision is a blow to Senator Hanson's authority but does not guarantee the passage of the cuts .
It does give the government hope.
Senator Cormann confirmed there had been a deal with One Nation to which the government remained "100 per cent committed" and he urged the remaining Senators to rethink their opposition.
"Nine out of 10 Australians work for a private sector business," he said.
The government has 31 senators and needs at least eight of the 10 Senate crossbench to reach the required 39.
It has stated support of four - Senator Burston, Fraser Anning, Cory Bernardi and David Leyonhjelm,
Still opposed are One Nation's senators Hanson and Georgiou, independents Tim Storer and Derryn Hinch, and the Centre Alliance's Rex Patrick and Stirling Griff. The government needs four of these six.

Nationals 3 - 4 Phillies
Phillies clinch NL East title with win over Nationals
Sep 28, 2008 - 2:40 AM By Vince DiGregorio PA SportsTicker Contributing Writer
PHILADELPHIA (Ticker) -- Jimmy Rollins made a spectacular play in the ninth inning to ensure the Philadelphia Phillies' second straight division title.
Rollins made a diving stop to start a game-ending double play on Saturday as the Phillies clinched the National League East crown by escaping with a 4-3 victory over the Washington Nationals.
Jamie Moyer pitched six solid innings and Jayson Werth hit his 24th home run for the Phillies (91-70), who came into the contest with a magic number of one and needing to win after the New York Mets (89-72) bested the Florida Marlins earlier.
"Like I've been saying the last couple of months, we're in control of our destiny," Moyer said in a champagne-soaked clubhouse. "If we continued to play well and win games, we're gonna win (the division). Today proved that. It's not easy, but it's simple."
Last year, the Phillies trailed by seven games with 17 games to play before surging past the Mets to capture the division crown on the final day of the season.
"Last year, it was a big deal for us to get to the playoffs," Werth said. "This year in spring training, we were all sitting around, talking. Not one person in the clubhouse didn't expect us to get here. This is where we thought we'd be."
Philadelphia had a 4-2 lead entering the ninth inning and brought in Brad Lidge to finish out the game. However, the righthander got into trouble with one out.
Lidge gave up a single to Roger Bernadina before walking pinch hitter Ryan Langerhans. Anderson Hernandez followed with a bloop single to shallow right-center that scored Bernadina and cut the deficit to one. Cristian Guzman then singled to load the bases.
Ryan Zimmerman stepped to the plate and hit a sharp grounder up the middle that appeared headed for center field. Rollins dove to his left to field the ball, flipped it to Chase Utley for the out at second. Utley completed the relay to Ryan Howard at first to end the game and send the sellout crowd into a towel-waving frenzy.
"I knew I had a chance at it," Rollins said. "I was hoping I could get it cleanly and come up and make a good flip. In that situation, you don't think.
"That's a play I'm pretty comfortable with. I've done it all my career? but that was a good time to come up with it. I still wasn't sure if we had enough time to get (Zimmerman) at first."
Rollins' sensational play allowed Lidge to remain a perfect 41-for-41 in converting save opportunities.
An RBI double in the fourth by Hernandez was the only blemish against Moyer (16-7), who allowed six hits and walked one en route to winning his sixth straight decision.
The game was scoreless in the bottom of the fourth when the Phillies took advantage of control problems by Washington starter John Lannan.
Utley and Howard led off with bloop singles to put runners at the corners and Pat Burrell followed with a sacrifice fly to open the scoring. Carlos Ruiz then followed suit to increase the margin to 2-0.
Werth added his blast in the fifth against Lannan (9-15), who allowed three runs and seven hits in five innings.
Lastings Milledge hit a sacrifice fly to shallow center to pull Washington within 3-2, but Ryan Madson escaped further damage by retiring the next two batters.

Q: Exchange Server 2010 & Active Directory I have Active Directory on Windows Server 2003 SP1 R2
and
Exchange Server 2010 on Windows Server 2008
Can i joining these servers together, Exchange Server with this Active Directory Domain
or that will make a problems and what is the better ?

A: Integrating Active Directory into your Exchange Infrastructure gives you a considerable options and flexibity because active Directory and Exchange work well together.
As stated by Jaap Wesselius:

When you separate a network into multiple physical locations,
  connected with "slow" links and separated into multiple IP subnets,
  you create "sites," in Active Directory terms.Like for example office
  located in Germany with an IP subnet of 10.10.0.0/16. There might be a
  branch office located in Bulguria with an IP subnet of 10.11.0.0/16.
  Both locations have their own Active Directory DC, and handle client
  authentication in their own subnet. Active Directory site links
  control replication traffic between sites. Clients in each site use
  DNS to find services such as DCs in their own site, thus preventing
  the use of services over the WAN link.
Exchange Server 2010 uses Active Directory sites for routing messages
  between sites. Using the same example of the Exchange Server 2010 Hub
  Transport Server in Germany and Exchange Server 2010 Hub Transport
  Server in Bulguria, the IP Site Links in Active Directory would route
  messages from Germany to Bulguria.
Transport and Routing:-With Exchange Server 2010, you can implement
  cross-premises message routing. In a mixed hosting environment,
  Exchange Server 2010 can route messages from the datacenter to the
  on-premises environment with full transparency. To create a highly
  available and reliable routing model Active directory helps with the
  formulation with exchange server.
Unified Messaging:-The Exchange Server 2010 Unified Messaging Server
  Role can integrate a telephone system like a private automatic branch
  exchange, or PABX, with the Exchange Server messaging environment.
  This lets you offer Outlook Voice Access.

Thus beacuse of this reason Both will work well together.

Q: Simple functions dense in $C_{c}(X)$? Let $X$ be a locally compact (Hausdorff) space and let $\mu$ be a (Radon) measure. Can compactly supported functions $X\to\mathbb{C}$ be approximated by simple functions w.r.t. the norm
$$\|f\|_{1}:=\int_{X}|f(x)| \ \text{d}\mu(x).$$
A simple function is a finite linear combination of functions of the form $1_{A}$, where $A$ is measurable with $\mu(A)<\infty$.
I know that simple functions are dense in $L^{1}(X)$ (i.e. the completion of $C_{c}(X)$ w.r.t. $\|\cdot\|_{1}$). But I am looking for a direct proof of the above statement. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

A: Yes. First consider the real and imaginary part, and for each of that consider the positive and negative part. By doing that, it is enough to show this statement for positive functions. Now for a positive measurable function we have that it can be approached (pointwise) from a increasing family of simple functions. Applying monotone convergence theorem gives the result
