William J. Steinbach, M.D., Joins UAMS as Chair of Department of Pediatrics
By Linda Satter
Aug. 26, 2021 | William J. Steinbach, M.D., will join the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) as chair of the Department of Pediatrics and associate dean for Child Health in the UAMS College of Medicine, as well as pediatrician-in-chief of Arkansas Children's, effective Jan. 15, 2022.
"We are thrilled to have Dr. Steinbach join UAMS as we work with Arkansas Children's to provide world-class pediatric care and improve the health of children across Arkansas," said Susan Smyth, M.D., Ph.D., executive vice chancellor and UAMS College of Medicine dean. "Bill brings exceptional leadership experience in pediatric clinical care, education and research – the key areas that together help us ensure a brighter future for Arkansas' children."
"I am excited about the energy and expertise Dr. Steinbach brings to this important role," said Arkansas Children's President and CEO Marcy Doderer. "We look forward to working together as we fulfill our commitment to improving child health in Arkansas and beyond."
Steinbach succeeds Frederick "Rick" E. Barr, M.D., who in November assumed a new post as chief executive vice president and chief clinical and academic officer for Arkansas Children's.
Renee Bornemeier, M.D., a professor of pediatric cardiology, vice chair for faculty affairs in the Department of Pediatrics and assistant dean for faculty affairs in the College of Medicine, will continue to serve as interim chair of the department until Steinbach's arrival.
"I wanted to be part of a health system that changes children's lives, and at a university where simply outstanding clinical care propels an intellectual curiosity to think past the next horizon," Steinbach said.
Steinbach is currently the Samuel L. Katz Distinguished Professor of Pediatrics and a professor in the Department of Molecular Genetics and Microbiology as well as chief of the Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina. Since October, he has also been the interim chief of Duke's Division of Pediatric Transplant and Cellular Therapy, and since March he has also been vice chair of research for the university's Department of Pediatrics.
Steinbach founded the Duke Pediatric Immunocompromised Host Program, a multidisciplinary clinical care and research program supporting immunosuppressed children. His molecular, translational and clinical research focuses on the pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of invasive fungal infections and spans broader efforts with all infections in immunocompromised patients. His laboratory centers on the fungus Apergillus fumigatus, a leading killer in patients with lowered immune systems, and the development of novel antifungal drugs and diagnostic assays.
He has multiple active basic, translational and clinical research grants from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) that he will bring to UAMS.
Steinbach founded and directs the International Pediatric Fungal Network, a NIH-funded global consortium of 55 sites dedicated to investigating pediatric invasive fungal infections through multicenter cooperative studies. He also co-founded and co-chairs the biennial international Advances Against Aspergillosis conference. He has co-edited four different infectious diseases textbooks and serves on multiple national committees.
His wife, Susan Emmett, M.D., MPH, is an otolaryngologist and also an NIH-funded clinician-scientist. He has a daughter who just graduated from Duke University and will be in Ireland next year as a Mitchell Scholar before attending Harvard Law School, and a son who is a junior at Elon University in North Carolina.
Originally from Wisconsin, Steinbach earned his Bachelor of Science degree in biology in 1994 from the University of Notre Dame and his medical degree in 1998 from the University of North Carolina School of Medicine. He completed a pediatrics residency at Stanford University before continuing his training with a pediatric infectious diseases fellowship funded by the NIH through the Pediatric Scientist Development Program at Duke. He joined the faculty at Duke in 2004 as an assistant professor.
In 2016, he received the American Federation for Medical Research Outstanding Investigator Award, given annually to the top translational biomedical researcher in the country under age 45. In 2017, he received the Infectious Diseases Society of America's Oswald Avery Award as the top adult or pediatric infectious diseases researcher under 45.

Hello Developers, Today we will discuss, how to create pdf document in Android using the iTextG library. iTextG is a very popular multiplatform library for creating and manipulating PDF documents programmatically. It is available for Java, .Net, Android androidd other platforms. We will create a simple android pdf creater app, where you can add some text and create a pdf for that text. To keep this simple, we will use only text for creation of pdf in this tutorial, in later tutorials we will have a more thorough discussion involving images, tables and fonts.
Choose an Activity Name. Make sure Generate Layout File check box is selected, Otherwise we have to generate it ourselves.Then click on Finish. We have used the Activity Name as PdfCreatorActivity.java. This will be the default screen when the user opens the app for the first time.
to add this permission, open your project's AndroidManifest.xml and add the permission.
Add the following code to the activity_pdfcreator.xml for the android pdf creator app.
Layout for the android pdf creator app is very simple. We have an EditText for Adding the content that will go into the Pdf and Create button. On clicking the create button, Pdf will be generated and will be shown by the default PdfView app for your android phone.
Open the PdfCreatorActivity.java and add the following code to create pdf in android.
Let's go through the code for android pdf creator app step by step, First, we reference to the widgets defined in the layout. We have defined one OnClickListener() for the Create Pdf button to invoke the createPdfWrapper() function. Since we are targeting Android version M, First we need to check whether the user has already granted the permissions for writing to external storage in case you are on android M or later. If the permission is not already granted, it will generate a dialog for the user to grant the permission, otherwise, if the permission is already granted it will invoke the createPdf() function. The permission model in android will be discussed in a separate post.
Let's discuss the working of the createPdf() function.
First we get the File object for Documents directory in case the folder is not already present, we create it using the mkdir() method of the File object. Next we create a new File object in the path named HelloWorld.pdf.
Here are the steps we need to follow to create a Pdf document.
Get an instance of PdfWriter using the getInstance method by passing the Document that has to be written and the OutputStream the writer has to write to.
Then we need to open the document and add the Element we want to add. Element can be Anchor, Chapter, Chunk, Header, Image, Jpeg, List, ListItem, Meta, Paragraph, Phrase, Rectangle, Section.
Once you have written the contents, we need to close the Document. After that nothing can be written to the body anymore.
Now, the Pdf Document is created and we will use the default Pdf viewer of the android phone to view the created pdf. You must have a Pdf Viewer installed on your phone to handle this otherwise, you will get a message to download a pdf viewer. In later tutorials, we will also discuss how to render a Pdf in android app.
Now run the android pdf creator app on an actual Android Device and start creating your pdf programmatically. Ability to handle a Pdf programmatically is really handy and is used in very famous apps like CamScanner to create Pdf from images on the go. This android pdf creator was an introduction to working with Pdf in android, soon we will be covering how to handle images, fonts, graphics etc. to create more advanced pdfs and how to render the Pdf in your app itself.
After this, Soon We will cover more detailed articles on the same topic and have a thorough tutorial about handling permissions in Android M and above.

Hydraulic fracturing (fracking) is a process whereby millions of gallons of water, sand, and chemicals are pumped underground to break apart the rock in the hopes of releasing gas or oil. In southwest Florida, the amount of oil recoverable through such a process is miniscule and puts our water at high risk of contamination. Furthermore, the process itself undermines the ground that supports our homes, roads, hospitals, schools, and businesses.
The waste products from fracking are incredibly dangerous and difficult to process. There is no independent test that can verify that fracking is safe because of our unique geology; the byproducts are unpredictable and always different for each fracking attempt. Biologists, hydrologists, chemists, and geologists warn of the aftermath of fracking accidents and we are seeing the aftershocks through communities across North America.
The State Legislature cannot, in good faith, allow activities which, after scientific study, have shown to cause plausible risks to our long-term economic success, on public safety, and on public health.
In Florida, the environment IS the economy. Tourism and agriculture, the two biggest drivers of our economy, are dependent on a healthy environment including high quality water resources. In addition to the possible impacts on the health and welfare of our citizens, environmental threats posed by fracking will hurt tourism, agriculture, fishing, real estate, and many related industries across our state.
Nearly three dozen counties and 50 local governments (which represent approximately 74 percent of the state's population) have already taken steps to express their opposition to and in some cases to outright prohibit fracking in Florida. The City of Bonita Springs (Ordinance No 15-17) has taken a strong and definitive stance to legally block fracking in their jurisdiction. I applaud their action.
Some elected officials, including my opponent Kathleen Passidomo, with her support of House Bills 1205 and 191 (in 2015 and 2016 respectively), have supported measures to remove home rule on this issue. They attempted to prohibit a local government's discretion to stop fracking. Fortunately, these legislative efforts have so far been unsuccessful.
More recently, in March 2018, a Florida Senate Bill (SB 462) that would have actually banned fracking died in the Senate Appropriations Committee. This was a bi-partisan bill sponsored by a Republican with five Republican and several Democratic co-sponsors. Unfortunately District 28's current Senator, Kathleen Passidomo, was not among the co-sponsors.
She apparently wants to see more study on fracking impacts, even though the fracking debate has been going on here in Florida for at least the last four years. Despite her statement last November that legislators had plenty of time to order an independent study, I am not aware of any such study having been commissioned by her or anyone else in the legislature to date. This is another example of prolonged legislative inaction on an issue of great concern to Floridians—kicking the can down the road!
I will work to promote energy policies in this state that leverage renewable energy alternatives, particularly solar. We need to be investing in future and emerging energy technologies for the sake of our economy and for the health and welfare of our citizens, not in risky and unnecessary ventures that pose unacceptable, long-term risks to our environment and our economy.


Like R.E. Olds, Billy Durant put his own special mark on the auto industry in Lansing, Michigan, the nation, and ultimately the world. Durant's creation of General Motors in 1908 in the tumultuous early days of the auto industry was driven by a vision which differed strongly from the individual entrepreneurs, like Henry Ford, who founded early car companies.
In his talk, Russell Doré will explore the life of Billy Durant, a somewhat unknown icon in the early development of the auto industry. He will explore Durant's life to see how this high school dropout became a millionaire, but died penniless. Doré will discuss the role that all the early pioneers- David Buick, Ransom Olds, Walter Chrysler, Charles Nash, and Louis Chevrolet- played with Durant in the creation and rise of General Motors.
Dr. Russell Doré is a board member of MotorCities - The Automobile National Heritage Area.
Doors to the Museum will open at 6pm.


The Rotavelo is an electric-assisted, recumbent tricycle, i.e. powered by pedals and electric motor. It covers up to 30 miles on the battery alone, and costs just 15p per 100km worth of electric charge.
We import Rotavelos from Trisled in Australia. We love the robust, aerodynamic, practical design. It's our "Sport" alternative to our CitiPod commuter vehicle.
Bad weather means bicycles don't hack it for commuters. This next-generation urban transport solution is weatherproof. Just fit the canopy, then you are warm and dry, protected from wind and rain.
What's more, you're surrounded by a "safety cell" . You gain protection from injuries typically suffered by cyclists.
In only 1/3 the space for a car.

Antiques Roadshow guest 'very surprised' at value of clock bought at fair decades ago
The Antiques Roadshow guest said he bought the turn of the century clock in 1998 at an antiques fair in London
An Antiques Roadshow guest gasped as he learned the true value of a clock he bought decades ago at an antiques fair in London, in scenes on the BBC One show on Sunday evening.
The Antiques Roadshow estimated the stylish clock was made in 1905, but the BBC One guest told her he had bought it in 1998 at an antiques fair in London.
He paid £6,000 for the clock, which he admitted was 'a lot of money' but said he was instantly enamoured with the quirky design.
He said: "I just really liked it. I thought that's lovely and something that's very unusual and that was it. It's actually been sitting on my sideboard for over 20 years and keeps good time."
The show's expert said the clock was 'very unusual' indeed. (Image: BBC)
The show's expert, who sat down with him as the antiques programme visited the National Trust property Culzean Castle in Scotland, said the clock was 'very unusual' indeed.
She said: "I've seen a tremendous amount of Art Nouveau and Arts and Crafts clocks in my time, but I've never seen one quite like this.
"What I think is so exciting about this period and this style is that people were sick of the Victorian style."
She continued: "Arthur Lazenby employed these great designers working for Liberty's in London.
The Antiques Roadshow estimated the stylish clock was made in 1905 (Image: BBC)
"This was high fashion and would in its day have been very expensive. The thing I'm really excited about is this copper face being off-centre and these flying birds. It is so unusual."
She then turned to putting an estimated value on the clock and said that if it were to be auctioned off today, she would put its price tag between £15,000 and £20,000.
The guest was visibly taken aback as he replied: "Goodness me. I'm very surprised. Extremely surprised."
Smiling, the Antiques Roadshow expert replied: "So a good choice in 1998," to which he insisted: "I shall continue to enjoy it."
The guest was visibly taken aback as he replied: "Goodness me." (Image: BBC)
This comes after another expert on Antiques Roadshow was surprised to learn a guest had paid just £17 for a "rare and special" antique during a recent episode of the BBC One show.
Among those who took part was a guest who had brought an object which she believed to be a "granary door," with her said to have purchased the item in San Francisco – and it turned out to be worth up to £600.

Yulun Wang, 2017 IEEE Medal for Innovations in Healthcare Technology at VIC Summit-Part 2 of 2
Part 2 of 2- The innovations of Yulun Wang concerning remotely operated surgical robots and his development and application of telemedicine systems have improved the quality of healthcare around the world, providing care to patients who otherwise would not have access and lowering the costs of treatment. Pursuing his vision that surgical robotic tools could enable surgeons to perform procedures with increased dexterity and control compared to conventional hand-held instruments, Wang brought medical robots to mainstream research and development and established the role of the surgical robot for minimally invasive surgery. Surgical robots provide the advantages of precision, smaller incisions, decreased blood loss, less pain, and quicker healing time for patients undergoing robotic-assisted surgeries. Wang invented the Automated Endoscopic System for Optical Positioning (AESOP). AESOP is a voice-controlled robotic arm that can hold and move a laparoscope for a surgeon, and it was the first FDA-cleared surgical robot. He also developed the ZEUS robotic surgical system, which performed the world's first trans-Atlantic surgery. Many of the technical innovations developed for ZEUS were incorporated into the very popular da Vinci surgical robot. To improve patient access to quality treatment and to fight the rising costs of healthcare, Wang created the first remote-presence robotic system to enable a clinician to be in two places at one time to perform medical triaging, diagnosis, and consultations from a distance. He applied this system to a tele-stroke treatment network in which a hub hospital places remote presence robots in smaller spoke hospitals to provide these hospitals and their patients with access to stroke specialists who can remotely examine and care for stroke victims. Wang's telemedicine system has also been used for intensive care and psychiatric clinical consults. The surgical robotics and telemedicine innovations that Wang helped to develop have now benefited several million patientsand are continuing to help over a million patients every year. A member of the U.S. National Academy of Engineering and recipient of the 2005 Innovation Award from the American Telemedicine Association, Wang is chairman and founder of InTouch Health, Goleta, CA, USA.

Closing arguments are underway in the trial of Alain Kaloyeros.
The founder of SUNY Polytechnic Institute is accused of bid rigging.
The prosecution claims power and the fear of losing his job led Kaloyeros to design state contracts that favored developers in Syracuse and Buffalo. Those developers are also on trial.
A defense attorney told the jury Kaloyeros acted in good faith and committed no crimes.

Inviting all to enter the realm of opulence and tropical hedonism, House in Paradise is literally everything it says on the tin.
Recently formulated around one year ago, House Events have since made massive strides in terms of progress and reputation by garnering increasing recognition and credibility following each and every event they throw.
Having welcomed such respected names as Mark Knight and Secondcity across the UK, Guernsey and Herm, House Events set their sights on the next step on the ladder of expansion – the party capital that is Ibiza.
Coming complete with a spectacular display of production, fresh, housey beats and brimming levels of anticipation, there was no better venue suited to host this big, bouncy summer blowout than San Antonio outdoor favourite, Ocean Beach Ibiza.
Gifting you the ultimate slice of poolside luxury, Ocean Beach Ibiza is renowned for delivering stylish, decadent pool celebrations on a daily basis. Considered an absolute must for anyone looking to pop a bottle of bubbly amongst the rich and famous, Ocean Beach Ibiza welcomed the dance nation with open arms to step inside House in Paradise.
In this day and age, paradise presents itself to us in many different forms. In this particular case however, the form presented was a one-off reality redefining everything we know and love about Sunday Funday.
Recognised for curating sell-out events inspired by the raw sound of the White Isle, House in Paradise brought an exaggerated level of feeling and excitement to its production value during its one and only Ocean Beach Ibiza showcase.
Bursting with tropical inspiration, this day-time delight was exploding with rich, vibrant colours and decor. This made the traditional luxurious settings of Ocean Beach Ibiza appear almost unrecognisable.
Upon arrival at this open-air palace of prestige, dance floor proceedings were being controlled by Aberdeen-born selector, James Campbell. Warming things gradually, the sensational Scot showcased his immense talents and passion with a truly authentic and timeless opening set.
Having spent more than six years honing his craft, the Pukka Up resident advanced his way through the melodic and emotional gears with a refreshing blend of progressive House and Techno much to the delight of all early arrivals.
First discovered by Spinnin' Records at the age of just 16-years-old, Aevion proved to be another firm stand-out on the House in Paradise highlight reel. Continuing to ooze heavenly radiations from the sound-system, Aevion took revellers in attendance on a compelling adventure by working in the Oliver Heldens Edit of his track, 'The Journey'. He then followed this up spectacularly with an encore of delicious vibes and light bell chimes in the form of his latest collaboration with Sir Felix and Cider Sky titled 'Weekend Love'.
Up next to the House in Paradise stage was our highly anticipated special guests for the evening – Liverpool-born double-act, Camelphat. Finely furnished with emotion-rich, sub-soaked, silky-synth sounds, Camelphat illustrated an authentic and timeless take on House music.
Strong, striking and accompanied by just the right amount of soul, this scintillating Scouse duo continued to instigate the hip-swinging antics of the dance floor with such inclusions as 'Hangin' Out With Charlie' and their forthcoming release on Sola, 'Monsters'.
Then, uniting the dance floor as one, Camelphat took dance music enthusiasts back to their favourite Ibiza moments of the summer by working in their Beatport number 1 success and collaboration with Elderbrook, 'Cola'.
As the sun start to fall and day slowly switched to night, Ministry of Sound resident, Phoebe D'Abo, took to the decks to tear up evening proceedings at Ocean Beach Ibiza. Already a Cafe Mambo Ibiza resident on Wednesday nights, Phoebe delivered a performance defined by pure sophistication further highlighting why she is one of London's fasting rising stars.
Ploughing right on through until the finish, we completed the night exactly how we began it with a slice of progressive House and Techno with Eden Ibiza regular, James Campbell. A name locked and loaded with promise, James captivated those remaining with his latest release on Cr2 Records, 'Faith'.
Big, bold and lavish, House in Paradise soaked up the sun of the party capital to the sounds of House making it a truly scorching island debut.

What a success!! With more than 200 people attending this year's event, Casen's Crew was able to raise $15,000. While part of that will go to Children's Cardiomyopathy Foundation, to further fund cardiomyopathy research, increase awareness about cardiomyopathy and advocate on behalf of children with cardiomyopathy and their families. The other part is enough to offer financial help to two different families whose lives are affected by cardiomyopathy every day. We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to our sponsors, donors, individual participants and volunteers for all their generosity, enthusiasm and heartfelt support of this year's fundraiser. Without people like you this special event would not be possible.
Click on a picture above to see information and pictures from that event.
Some of the proceeds from last year's successful Casen's Crew event went to help this sweet family. Precious Miss Brin's story is similar to Casen's story, go back to last year's page to read her story and the journey that their family has gone through with cardiomyopathy. We are thankful that they were able to make it to and participate in this year's event.

Two years ago, at the annual Claims Conference board meeting, directors representing the World Jewish Congress, the Jewish Agency and others, failed in their efforts to introduce meaningful reforms to the organization.
This week, the annual board meeting will take place in New York in the wake of the crude punitive parting of the ways with Ombudsman Shmuel Hollander and the subsequent explosive allegations contained in his letter to the directors.
As I finished writing this column, I learned from reliable sources within the Claims Conference that, although the New York State Office of the Attorney General does not confirm ongoing inquiries, it has in fact launched a probe into the management of the Claims Conference.
An investigation of the Claims Conference by an outside law enforcement body would disgrace the Jewish community and desecrate the memory of victims of the Shoah and survivors.
The responsibility for this rests exclusively with the arrogant Claims Conference management, which ignored repeated warnings that dispersing billions of dollars of sacred restitution funds necessitated impeccable governance, transparency, accountability and greater oversight.
Over the past decade, the leadership failed to provide adequate oversight for the funds that were entrusted to them. Their refusal to accept accountability or even commission a genuinely independent audit and review of all the operations of the organization after the greatest theft in Jewish organizational life was a scandalous dereliction of responsibility.
The disclosure by Hollander that Claims Conference President Julius Berman told him explicitly that the decision not to extend his contract was due to his 2013 report which was scathing of management, may have been the final straw which induced the New York attorney general to intervene.
It is also symptomatic of management behavior that it sidelined the controversial "ombudsman" issue to the last item on the agenda of this week's board meeting, assuming that the vast majority of directors would already have departed by that time.
However, the latest scandalous revelations will oblige the board to belatedly institute long overdue reforms, failing which they will be confronted with grave questions relating to their fiduciary responsibilities.
Has the attorney general initiated inquiries with the Claims Conference?
If so, have the Claims Conference, its legal counsel and other personnel been instructed to fully cooperate with the Attorney General's Office?
Why were directors not immediately informed of this serious development?
Initially President Julius Berman referred to a theft of $350,000. Subsequently we were informed that it was $7 million. It then transpired that it was in excess of $57 million.
Is it true, as former Ombudsman Shmuel Hollander stated, that the amount of this fraud has now risen substantially beyond the $57 million?
If additional funds were purloined, why were board members not formally advised?
Were board members aware that Executive Vice President Greg Schneider and Berman had both been tipped off about the fraud eight years prior to its "discovery" but failed to adequately follow up?
Was the board informed prior to the decision not to renew Hollander's contract as ombudsman?
Did the board seek the services of a genuine ombudsman with authority or merely employed him as a "fig leaf"?
Once it became apparent that Berman had been charged to investigate the anonymous letter warning of the fraud and had referred the matter to his law firm, did Berman recuse himself from deliberations due to his conflict of interest?
Did the board investigate whether there were potential legal grounds to file for gross negligence against Berman or his law firm for failing to discharge their duties?
Berman has led the organization without challenge for 13 years. He is chairman of the all-powerful allocations committee, enabling him to control where and how money is allocated.
Is the board concerned that despite all the scandals and damage caused to the reputation of the Claims Conference by Berman retaining office, he refuses to relinquish control of an organization managing billions of dollars, which he directs as though it were his personal fiefdom?
Members of the board represent or are connected to organizations and projects that receive allocations from the Claims Conference.
Does this not constitute a conflict of interest?
Given the role of Berman as president of the organization and chairman of the allocations committee, does this enable him to unduly influence directors receiving funds for their organizations?
In 2007, I wrote about the scandal surrounding March of the Living, originally controlled by disgraced and convicted former Finance Minister Avraham Hirschson, which was largely funded by the Claims Conference. I queried mysterious payments of $700,000 from MOTL to a consultant who was unable to advise what service he provided to the organization.
In response to that and other allegations against MOTL relating to missing funds, the Claims Conference undertook to conduct an audit and suspend all payments to MOTL until the matter was resolved.
In 2010, the Claims Conference stated that it was unable to progress with this matter because the general controller had received "limited cooperation" from MOTL in the investigation on a number of issues, including lack of information about an overseas account from which funds were transferred to the U.S. and Israel.
Was the disappearance of the funds reported to the relevant law enforcement authorities?
Has the board been informed of the situation?
If payments to MOTL were suspended because of the failure to cooperate with the audit, why was $500,000 allocated in 2014 to March of the Living?
In December 2010, in the face of fierce protests from heirs of survivors claiming that the Claims Conference denied them access to information to enable them to recover property stolen from their families, the Board of Deputies of British Jews commissioned an independent inquiry by Jeffrey Gruder QC.
In a scathing report, Gruder concluded that the Claims Conference had a moral obligation to inform heirs of their rights and "ignoring requests for information by heirs, or indeed, even worse, the obstruction of their attempts to obtain information, is, in my view regrettable to say the least." According to the report, "the Claims Conference regards it as significant and conclusive that once it became the owner of the properties or assets, it owed no duties to the previous owners or their heirs under German law".
If that is still the position of the Claims Conference, then it has repudiated its mandate as custodian to act on behalf of the interests of survivors, victims and their heirs.
Is the board satisfied that the Claims Conference has fully addressed the legitimate claims of heirs?
Has the internal audit undertaken in Germany relating to the sale of heirless properties been disclosed to directors?
Has the board been informed of the current investigation of fraud and misappropriation of restitution funds in Ukraine?
There have been repeated calls for a genuine independent review of the Claims Conference, especially since the 2013 ombudsman's report in relation to the $57 million fraud which ominously noted that "only the tip of the iceberg was revealed to us." Yet these calls have been bitterly opposed by the management.
Do the directors realize that in light of recent developments, they will be in breach of their fiduciary responsibilities if they fail to act now to commission a genuine independent external review and audit of all the operations of the Claims Conference?
Given the desperate plight of aged ailing survivors, will the board now consider — belatedly — freezing payments for all projects that are not directly Holocaust-related and diverting them to needy survivors in order to enable them to live out their few remaining years in dignity?

We learned a few more things from the media, with Darren Dreger appearing on TSN 1200 to say that the Sens are confident with the offer they've made. I will not be commenting on this further, because other people are already talking about it and I know you're all tired of this discussion.
What I'm actually here to do is to make fun of the Habs. The Sens faced off against Montreal last night for their second-to-last game of the preseason, and it was a whole lot of fun!
The game got off to an awful start, as Montreal scored off the opening faceoff and then again before four minutes had elapsed. Thankfully, though, the Sens answered only a few minutes later, with a powerplay goal coming courtesy of Josh Norris.

It's worth noting that Tim Stützle spent much of this game on a line with Josh Norris and Drake Batherson, while Nick Paul took his spot on Shane Pinto and Connor Brown's line. Both lines were electric all night. Is it possible that this is DJ Smith's plan in case Tkachuk isn't signed by the start of the regular season? It's probably the combination that makes the most sense; Stützle is easily the team's best lift winger after Tkachuk, and Paul has great chemistry with Brown. Plus, Pinto gets to play with a few guys who have more NHL experience than he does. Also, I can't explain it, but Paul-Pinto-Brown is a line combination that makes me incredibly happy. Basically, I'm on board.
Shane Pinto scored the equalizer early in the third period, right after a powerplay had expired.

Only a few minutes later, Norris's second powerplay goal put the Sens ahead by one.

One big story of the night was the powerplay, which had an incredible number of opportunities and was absolutely electric each time. This game could easily have been a lot more lopsided in the Sens' favour just thanks to that powerplay. Was it that DJ Smith had finally done away with the neutral zone drop pass? Or were the Habs just that bad? Probably both.
Chris Tierney scored the fourth goal when he caught Stützle and Batherson at the end of a shift. The play went to video review, as it was somewhat unclear if it the puck had actually crossed the line. In the end, though, it was deemed a good goal. It seems like even when the refs are against the Habs, they're still working in the Habs' best interests: now they're going to have DJ Smith thinking it's okay to play Stützle and Tierney together. That is never, ever okay.
Tierney scores! #GoSensGo pic.twitter.com/Ew8wJ2o9qn
Unfortunately, the Habs shot back in the third period to pull within one, even though the Sens still had a huge advantage in shots.
Stützle did this:

It seems necessary to point out that Erik Brännström had an especially good game tonight, with an assist and several remarkable defensive plays. All the defensemen had good games, actually, and I would not be at all disappointed if this was the opening night lineup.
Unfortunately, Montreal tied the game right at the end of the third. We were headed to overtime.
The 3-on-3 overtime was absolutely heartstopping. Ottawa absolutely deserved to win. Unfortunately, though, they just couldn't find the back of the net, and the game went to a shootout.
The shootout went on a bit longer than usual. Stützle, Zub and Batherson were all turned away, and Connor Brown scored but so did the Habs player. In the end, Josh Norris was the one to win it for the Sens, capping off a two-goal night with a shootout goal. It may not technically count as a hat trick, but in my heart it was a hat trick.

A group of high schoolers begin stripping paint off of a house on Cottage Avenue on Monday. The teenagers live in various towns throughout Kansas including Rock Creek, Manhattan, Norton and New Almelo. They braved the afternoon heat to complete the "Action" component of Prayer and Action, a program that continues in the Abilene community until July 25.

Spiritually motivated teens serve Abilene
By Jackson Welsh, Reflector-Chronicle
Driving through town Monday morning, Abileneans may have noticed sporadic groups of teenagers doing seemingly ordinary maintenance and upkeep on houses, but their work is far from routine.
On Sunday, more than 80 high school students and adults arrived in Abilene to begin their journey through Prayer and Action.
Prayer and Action, sponsored by the Catholic Diocese of Salina, encourages Catholic students from around Kansas to devote themselves completely to community service and their faith, according to "The Register."
Since 2005, the program has been placed in a different town within the Salina Diocese every summer. This year, Abilene is hosting the program.
From July 7 through July 25, students are participating in a week's worth of service around the Abilene community enriched with daily mass and prayer, according to Kade Megaffin.
Megaffin is one of three seminarians who are co-leading the program with three college students from the diocese.
Megaffin spoke at St. Andrews Church on Sunday to explain the program and its goals.
He explained that the visiting students will mainly work on refurbishing homes and yards of those in need, such as underprivileged, elderly or handicapped citizens.

It is time to stand up against migrant detention
Guest post by Yasmine Accardo and Stefano Galieni. Yasmine Accardo is a long-time activist for human rights as a social facilitator and legal adviser. She is the contact person, at the national level, for the LasciateCIEntrare campaign and the Dossier Libia project. She published extensively on migration control policies both in Italian and Spanish. Stefano is the President of Associazione Diritti e Frontiere-ADIF and currently works as a journalist for the newspaper 'Left'. Stefano is the head of the migration department of the Italian party 'Rifondazione Comunista', and has a 30-years experience as an anti-racist activist. He has been engaged in advocacy efforts to end immigration detention in Italy for 21 years. This is the final instalment of the themed week on assessing border control practices in Italy.
Translation by Marzia D'Amico. Marzia D'Amico (she/her) is a queer-feminist academic and activist. She co-founded the Italian feminist newsletter Ghinea.
In 2011, the Minister of Interior Roberto Maroni, via contested circular n. 1305, had expressly prohibited access to CIEs (the acronym for the Identification and Expulsion Centers until 2017) and other detention sites. After the government changed at the end of 2011, the new Minister of Interior, Annamaria Cancellieri, suspended the effectiveness of circular n. 1305. However, the access to Italian detention centers continued to be discretionary and limited, and recently (the last couple of years) largely denied.
LasciateCIEntrare is a campaign led by activists, journalists and lawyers in Italy. On the Campaign website we publish reports and complaints about the inhumane living conditions and human rights abuses systematically taking place inside Italian detention sites. However, while our advocacy work unveils human rights violations in sites of migrant confinement, we have also been impacted by the above ban. Our project, #DOSSIERLIBIA, critically informs on and denounce human rights abuses taking place against migrants in Libya, Niger, Tunisia and Morocco, sites of EU's externalborder control. This project, developed in collaboration with Tunisian, Nigerian, Moroccan and Libyan activists, includesa map of Libyan detention centers where torture is practiced, information about Italian detention centers, the fallacies of the reception system, and migrants' right to be registered in the civil registration system (iscrizione anagrafica). Finally, LasciateCIEntrare monitors the operation of the Italian asylum system, in collaboration with Italian, French, Swiss and German activists.
ADIF (Associazione Diritti e Frontiere, Rights and Borders Association) is an association created in 2015 with the goal to carry out research, training and awareness-raising on migration-related issues, with a focus on the Central Mediterranean area and particularly on Libya. ADIF looks at illegal policies to combat migration implemented both at Italian and European level and the increasing criminalization of NGOs working in safe and rescue operations in the Mediterranean. Over the years, ADIF has organized international conferences such as 'Peace and rights in the Mediterranean Area'. On our website we also publish thematic posts, court judgments, interviews, and research findings. In March 2019, LasciateCIEntrare and ADIF co-edited a collaborative book 'Mai Più; La Vergogna Italiana dei Lager per Immigrati' (Never More. The Italian Shame of the Concentration Camps for Immigrants). This book on immigration detention in Italy – composed of contributions written by activists and advocates – was published by the weekly newspaper Left.

In Febrary 2020, the Interior Minister Luciana Lamorgese reiterated that CPRs (Centri di Permanenza per i Rimpatri, Accommodation Centres for Repatriations, the name currently used for Italian detention centres) must open in every Italian region. She argued that these facilities have nothing to do with the former CIEs where migrants, paradoxically called by staff members and police officers as "guests", could stay for months and where human rights were systematically violated. The plan to have detention centers in each Italian region has been around for a while: for fifteen years right-wing and left-wing politicians have advanced this idea. The new Interior Minister is actually putting into practice what was already promised. After having reopened the Gradisca D'Isonzo detention centre in the province of Gorizia (16 December 2020) and the detention centre in Macomer (Nuoro), the reopening of the CPR in Milan in Via Corelli is likely to happen in March (see also the guest posts from the Mai Piu Lager – No ai CPR in this series). There is a push to open the Oppido Mamertina detention centre in Calabria. Moreover, the mayor of Florence, Dario Nardella, has requested for the Minister to promote the opening of a detention centre in Tuscany, against the wishes of the municipalities and regional councils. Finally, a centre was supposed to reopen in Modena by the end of October.
The alarming situation in operating detention centres is also a concern. The Piano del Lago detention centre in Caltanissetta (Siciliy) is riddled with riots and protests. At the moment, basic services to detainees are not provided, as stated by the member of Parliament Palazzotto, and the need for renovation might see the centre being temporary closed. Palazzo San Gervaso detention centre (near Potenza) is in the similar situation, as the falling facilities are to be expanded.The detention centre in Bari, following a riot carried out by detainees in December 2019, became mostly unusable and detainees were transferred to the detention centre in Gradisca. Finally, the detention centre in Turin was, after the riots in January 2020, declared unfit for use and partly shut down.
Protest in front of Caltanissetta detention centre, January 18th, 2020.
The Minister of Interior, thus, has made a serious mistake — to put it mildly. While the Minister argues that CPRs are better facilities than the former CIEs, the evidence demonstrates quite the opposite. For instance, the maximum term for detention in CPRs has been increased to 180 days by means of the first Salvini's Security Decree, compared to the former CIEs in which the lenght of detention was reduced to 90 days in 2014.
The deprivation of freedom for someone who did not commit any criminal offence is morally unacceptable, independently from their migrant status. Moreover, the increase in the lenght of detention does not corrisponde in an increase in the number of deportations, which remains constantly under 50% of the population of those held in detention sites under immigration powers. The increase of detention inevitably exacerbates desperation and tensions inside the centres: this situation, in turn, leads to a high prevalence of self-harm, suicide attempts, drug use, escapes, protests and riots, followed by interventions by police and military (see here for detailed evidence on what happen in each centre). The low-bid offer system through which the management of Italian detention centres has historically been outsourced to private entities (see tender specifications here) has progressively led to a further reduction of the already deficient healthcare, food, hygiene, and psychological support provided in these sites. The result is that as today, more than in the past, CPRs are a sort of 'ticking time bombs'. The acts of self-harm have been exponentially increasing and three deaths have occurred in Turin, Caltanissetta, and Gradisca detention centres (investigations are under way for all these cases).
As of February 2020, the Italian government is not accepting the failure of its administrative detention policies. Minimum requests need to be made to the government. These are: 1) to suspend the opening of new CPRs and expantion of the Italian detention industry; 2) to re-interpretate the Italian Immigration Act 40/1998 and the EU Return Directive (Directive 2008/115/EC) and consider the deprivation of liberty of people for migration-related reasons a measure of last resort. We believe that these changes, together with a drastic reduction in the length of confinement, would reduce the risk of further deaths. We believe that, in making detention a measure of last resort a process that would eventually see the end of detention in Italy could be initiated. This would eliminate unnecessary and cruel confinement in what we can describe as 'ethnic prisons'.
People fighting for human rights in Europe need to acknowledge these tragic statistics, especially the figures concerning deaths in Italian detention centres, and provide support for action at a European and international level. We wonder if it would be possible to file an appeal to the European Court of Human Rights against Italy for the inhuman and degrading treatment that our government is inflicting on people seeking sanctuary in our country. In our view there is no other solution but to close down all the CPRs. How long will it take for the Italian and European governments to understand that? How many deaths, self-harm acts, and violations of human rights must be reported before an action will be taken?
We don't have answers, but we know that we need to take a stand. Otherwise, we will be complicit in this ongoing history of violence.

New Sin City Trailer
By Stephen Schleicher on	 June 12, 2014 1 Comment
I'll admit it, I'm more than a little interested in seeing Sin City: A Dame to Kill For. For many, this was the eyeopener that showed a comic book adaptation could look like a comic book. For others it was reaffirmation that a movie could be done only on a greenscreen. And still for others it was a chance to see another Jessica Alba movie. The latest trailer has landed and it touches on all of those elements again, and more.
Robert Rodriguez teams with Frank MIller to direct this follow-up to Sin City from a script by Miller and William Monahan based on preexisting stories along with new ones written for the big screen. Josh Brolin stars in the adaptation of the comic miniseries (Sin City: A Dame to Kill For), which tells the backstory of Clive Owen's Dwight character as he is wrapped up in the thralls of femme fatale, Ava (Eva Green). Also new to the series is Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who plays Johnny, a mysterious gambler set on taking down his sworn enemy in a high-stakes game of life and death. Mickey Rourke, Rosario Dawson, Jessica Alba, and Jaime King return for the Dimension Films release, with Jamie Chung and Dennis Haysbert stepping into roles left by Devon Aoki and the late Michael Clarke Duncan.
