Soyuz 'Glitch' Delays Return of U.S. Astronaut
Russian space officials blamed a series of "small glitches" for a 24-hour delay in the scheduled return of a Soyuz space capsule from the International Space Station (ISS).
American astronaut Tracy Caldwell Dyson and a pair of Russian cosmonauts were preparing to return after six months in orbit when a computer on the Soyuz signaled that the capsule was not fully air locked.
The incident was the third docking problem at the station in four months, including a system failure on two unmanned Russian Progress supply shuttles, causing one to fly past the space station in June.
The string of mishaps comes as NASA prepares to retire its shuttle program later this year, eliminating thousands of U.S. jobs and leaving the ISS entirely dependent on the Russian Soyuz.

Home / Google Certified Teachers / Google inspires Otsego technology educators
Google inspires Otsego technology educators
Kayla Deneau, Staff Writer
"We are creating a classroom without walls, a global classroom, and it's not costing anything," said Michelle Triemstra.
Triemstra is the director of technology for Otsego Public Schools and one of the district's two Google Certified Teachers. The other is elementary technology teacher Michael Miller.
"It changed a lot of the tools I used," Miller said. "Collaborating through the use of Google Docs; I didn't realize the power of collaboration."
In order to become a Google Certified Teacher, educators must attend a two-day training session called Google Teacher Academy where they work and learn with other educators around the world.
"It expanded my learning network incredibly in just two days," Triemstra said. "We still help each other, that's what is amazing."
She said the sessions are very competitive, with only 50 educators being accepted to each out of thousands of applicants with approximately 850 Google Certified Teachers in total, currently in the United States.
Miller said every day he receives several emails from other instructors either asking for help or sharing ideas.
"It's like being able to go to 850 experts when you have an issue," he said. "Someone is going to be able to help."
Triemstra participated in a July 2014 session in Mountain View, Calif., at Google headquarters while Miller attended an April 2012 session in London.
Both said they paid their own way to the academy, as it was something they wanted to experience and learn from.
"I never expected to use (Google) in this way," Miller said. "There are a bunch of apps for education that are free—email, portfolio suite, Google Class(room) and other apps specifically for education.
"We used to use Microsoft Office so we'd have Word and PowerPoint and other separate programs. Now everything is on the same platform and it's fairly easy to share."
The district is making the switch to Google Classroom as the online learning platform. Within classrooms, students are able to receive assignments, complete the work, turn their work in and receive feedback and grades in a single streamlined process, Triemstra said.
Prior to Google Classroom, the district used Moodle as the online learning platform.
Miller said, "Versus Moodle, it is way, way easier; very simple."
Triemstra said Google Classroom does not require as much work as Moodle.
"You used to have to attach and open and reattach each document or file. This is all encompassing and it helps teachers stay organized by creating auto folders for different projects," she said.
Miller said his main focus is teaching his students how to use the programs so they know how it works when it is seen in other classes.
"Other teachers worry about content; I make sure the students understand the technology," he said.
Miller said he uses Google Apps for every grade, particularly for assessments.
Miller also shows students how they can explore the Internet.
He used Google Earth to take his classes on a tour of the White House.
"I let them explore and they are engaged," Miller said. "Mastery versus exploration is a hard balance.
"I want them to learn skills like typing, but I want them to explore too."
Looking to the future, both Miller and Triemstra have ideas to further incorporate technology into the district.
"I want to edit curriculum so it is a natural progression from elementary to middle school to high school," Triemstra said. "Students don't need as much keyboarding in middle school because they are already learning it in third grade."
She said she also wants to plan a technology conference in the district.
"We don't really have anything like that in Allegan County," she said. "We would host and invite educators from the area schools."
Triemstra said the conference will have keynote speakers and sessions about technology integration throughout the classroom but will include programs other than Google.
Triemstra said Google is trying to create the best possible product for educational purposes.
"They are very education oriented," she said. "They ask for and really listen to our feedback."

Bristol University spends millions buying Clifton building
The property is on Whiteladies Road

Get the latest property market news straight to your inbox
A Grade II listed building in Clifton has been sold for millions of pounds to the University of Bristol.
The 12,000 sq ft property on Whiteladies Road was snapped up in an off-market deal for a whopping £4.78million.
The building is an office block and was sold in an investment deal brokered by national commercial property consultancy Lambert Smith Hampton (LSH).
The space is being let out for five years to legal expenses insurance company ARAG.
The incredible Bristol companies that have won the Queen's Award for Enterprise 2019
LSH associate director Hollie Ruddle, who handled the transaction, said: "This deal highlights the strong demand for well-let, well-located investment opportunities in Bristol."
LSH sold the office on on behalf of real estate investment company Sunnyday Capital.
The transaction took place was in less than 10 weeks from initial instruction and achieved £1million more than the instructed quoting price, indicating the buoyancy of the Bristol office market.
Bristol-based property agents Alder King represented Bristol University.
The news comes as a new report finds that Bristol has the lowest vacancy rate for Grade A offices among the UK's leading 'big six' cities.
The research by property company JLL looked at office space in Bristol, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Leeds and Manchester.
JLL experts are now warning that more needs to be done to ensure Bristol continues to attract investment.
Take-up of office space in Bristol reached 536,585 sq ft in 2018, broadly in line with the 10-year annual average of 538,540 sq ft, but with a slower period in the final quarter - the lowest quarterly volume for three years.
1930s lampposts moved from south Bristol returned to rightful home
Overall vacancy rates in Bristol fell to 4.3 per cent during the fourth quarter and to just one per cent for Grade A space.
Kevin Hunt of JLL spokesperson said: "What is crucial now is effective planning and further investment in the city centre, including the redevelopment of Temple Meads station, to match the multi-million pound station overhauls about to take place in Birmingham, Leeds and Glasgow."

Reihan Salam earns a 2017 Democracy Champion Award for his outstanding journalism and powerful essays about fair representation and ranked choice voting as the best way to end gerrymandering. A truly innovative thinker, Reihan is executive editor of the National Review, a columnist for Slate and a contributing editor at National Affairs. His 2014 essay for Slate on "The Biggest Problem in American Politics," and his coauthored commentary this July in the New York Times are two of the most powerful arguments for the Fair Representation Act. On social media, he regularly draws attention to ranked choice voting and fair representation. See excerpts from his two fair representation essays and links to the full pieces below.
Who is locked out of representation? Moderates and conservatives in our biggest metro areas, and liberals in the heartland. They are the tens of millions of voters who defy stereotypes of left and right, and are perfectly positioned to bridge our seemingly unbridgeable political divides. Our political life is being poisoned by the absence of their voices.
The reason is that when your district majority matches your party, you need only fear primary election voters who are quick to threaten apostasy from the party line. This intensifies polarization in Congress, making legislative compromises necessary for passing bills all but impossible. Power continues to shift dangerously to the executive. The end result is a death spiral for our constitutional order.
The good news is that there is a way out: replacing our winner-take-all elections with a form of proportional representation where every voter matters in every election. It comes in the form of the Fair Representation Act, a bill introduced recently by Representative Don Beyer.
If our goal is to create legislative districts that truly reflect their electorates, our best bet would be to give up on single-member districts altogether and replace them with multi-member ones. Take the case of my tribe, the forlorn conservatives of New York City. Even if the New York state Legislature decided that it wanted to carve out a new district to represent conservatives scattered across the five boroughs, and not just those in Michael Grimm's swing district, they'd have an almost impossible time doing so.

Obal (, ) ist eine Stadt in Belarus am gleichnamigen Fluss, im Rajon Schumilina der Oblast Wizebskaja.

Geschichte
Der Ort wurde erstmals Anfang des 16. Jahrhunderts als Dorf in der Provinz Polazk des Großfürstentums Litauen erwähnt. Bei der ersten polnischen Teilung 1772 wurde es dem zaristischen Russland zugeschlagen.

Nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg gehörte Obal zunächst zu Belarus, ehe es kurz darauf zusammen mit Nachbargemeinden der Russischen Sowjetrepublik zugeordnet wurde. 1924 wurde diese Zuordnung wieder rückgängig gemacht.

Im Zweiten Weltkrieg war Obal ab 1941 von deutschen Truppen besetzt, 1944 wurde die Stadt von der Roten Armee befreit. Inzwischen hatte Obal den Status einer Stadt erlangt und zählt etwa 3.000 Einwohner.

Wirtschaft und Verkehr
1866 wurde Obal durch die Bahnlinie Polozk – Witebsk an das Eisenbahnnetz angeschlossen. Die ökonomische Grundlage der Gemeinde war insbesondere die Holzwirtschaft und aus dem Grundstoff Holz hergestellte Produkte.

With best-in-class skills in cyber security, IT infrastructure, cloud, data science, analytics based on IOT and software technology, it is one of the most respected brands in the APAC region in the field of utility and telecommunications, which is now expanding to the UK and Europe
The event was attended and inaugurated by Senior TRS Leader and General Secretary Malipedhi Sudheer Reddy(from the current governing party in the state of Telangana), who welcomed this initiative of the organisation, which will help to increase employment in the state as a recovery from the economic slowdown of COVID-19. The impressive revenue approach of Inovaantage helped in sustaining a high growth-centric profit from each of its products even during the pandemic, which is a testimony of its client-centric approach. In the first phase, around 120 software engineers will be working from the new centre, which is expected to grow to around 500 by the end of 2022
Dr. Sukanta, CEO of Inovaantage, shared, "we help to create stability in unstable conditions or environments by ensuring and attracting the best talent from industry and give our customers peace of mind". He also added, "For us, a customer is always at the centre of our business. We hire the best talent in the marketplace who bring strong industry knowledge, understand the client's business, and partner with our clients to deliver mission-critical, state-of-the-art solutions which advances their business."
On occasion, Swetaketu Baidya, Director Operations and Technology, shared, "the assets of Inovaantage are our customers and the expert team. 19 large telecos, utilities, transportation companies worldwide have been working with us repeatedly.

(Reading further on in the article, it does say that that there are other, verified fossils free of this controversy from around the same period. [That means that the objection to evolution that life started so early in the earth's history is still in place.] Still it demonstrates the 'what else could they have got wrong' principle quite nicely).
The World's Oldest Fossils Aren't Actually Fossils
April 20, 2015 // 09:30 PM CET
For decades, a group of bacteria-shaped structures known as the Apex chert microfossils have been considered to be the oldest evidence of life on Earth. Dating all the way back to the early Archean epoch some 3.46 billion years ago, the structures appear to be carbon-rich filaments that resemble primitive cyanobacteria.
But recently, scientists have raised doubts over whether these structures, which were found in western Australia, are actually organic in origin. The result is the so-calledApex chert controversy, which has raged for the past decade, fueled by evidence that these filaments could have been formed by hydrothermal activity.
Now, a new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciencescould finally put this controversy to rest. As the skeptics suspected, the oldest fossils in the world are not fossils at all, but rather the signature of geological processes in Earth's primordial years.
"This research should, at long last, provide a closing chapter for the 'Apex microfossil' debate," said study co-author and paleontologist Martin Brasier in a statement. "It is hoped that textbooks and websites will now focus upon recent and more robust discoveries of microfossils of a similar age from western Australia, also examined by us in the same article."
Brasier and his colleagues reached this conclusion after examining the Apex chert structures in nanoscale-level detail, using a transmission electron microscope. The filaments varied in size from around 0.5 to 20 micrometers, and were characterized by their segmented appearance and carbon-heavy walls, which resemble bacterial cell membranes.
But when the researchers observed the structures through the electron microscope, they found a telltale anomaly: The distribution of the carbon in the filament walls was chaotic and uneven, which is not consistent with organic life.
The team concluded that the filaments were made of clay, but were regularly doused with carbon-rich hydrothermal floods. The surface clay absorbed this carbon, giving the structures the appearance of a biological membrane. As it turns out, Earth can whip up a pretty convincing microfossil imposter on a whim.
"We studied a range of authentic microfossils using the same transmission electron microscopy technique and in all cases these reveal coherent, rounded envelopes of carbon having dimensions consistent with their origin from cell walls and sheaths," said co-author David Wacey in a statement.
"At high spatial resolution, the Apex 'microfossils' lack all evidence for coherent, rounded walls," he continued. "Instead, they have a complex, incoherent spikey morphology, evidently formed by filaments of clay crystals coated with iron and carbon."
This study is likely to represent the end of the Apex chert microfossil theory, but that doesn't necessarily mean that life didn't exist on Earth 3.46 billion years ago. In fact, the same formation in western Australia that yielded these pseudofossils also contains more reputable microfossils dating back to 3.43 billion years, which have now claimed the hallowed title of world's oldest fossils.
So while it's always a bummer to find out a promising candidate for life was formed abiotically, the PNAS study demonstrates that new technologies can shed light on the origins of oldest structures on Earth—and beyond it. Exposing false positives like the Apex chert structures will help scientists recognize the genuine article in the future.

Whew! What a week! I feel like I always declare that a week is going to be a little bit easier, but something happens to change things up. My strategy worked though as I hit my total weight loss goal by Friday, and then had an awesome race today (more on that below).
Weekend meal and workout planning with my busy work and family schedule. It's hard but necessary in order to make sure we can stay on track.
Saturday: Was exhausted from Friday so actually took a rest day (what?!) from classes and just did 22MHC in the evening. Compared to what I originally had planned, this was huge.
Sunday: Rock N Roll Raleigh Half Marathon!
A couple of my girlfriends joined me for ZNO – they were new to Zumba but did awesome! It was so fun dancing with them.
Group photo with my Zumba Night Out instructors.
Saturday was actually spent running around with the family, running errands, shopping, and just playing together. It was really nice to get some relaxed time without any major deadlines or appointments. The weather was kinda crummy (it was ridiculously windy) so we pretty much stayed inside except for some outdoor shopping complex errands.
Sunday morning was an early wake-up call to get downtown for the half marathon. I was up at 4am after a pretty restless night of sleep. I was excited, nervous, and a little anxious about the race, so I just had a hard time getting my mind to calm down at the end of the night on Saturday. The weather forecast was stressing me out (all week it was saying race day would be around the 50s but Saturday night I looked and it was 30s/40s). I had to rethink what I was going to run in and I HATE that. I don't like dealing with uncertainty on race days. Thankfully, I made the right call – long sleeve workout shirt under my short sleeved main shirt. I then wore a light windbreaker type running jacket over it and some running ear muff/scarf items that I was able to shed as I warmed up.
After the race with my girlfriends Stephanie and Rachel.
Before the race, I had set an aggressive 2:20 time for myself to complete it. My last half in New Orleans was 2:28 and I thought I could beat that this time with the various hill training I had been doing in the last month since. I had never run this course before, but heard from everyone that it was hilly and awful. While it didn't necessarily disappoint, it also wasn't as bad as I had imagined it. The hills weren't too painful, and I'm thinking it's because I had really incorporated hill training into my routine since the beginning of the year. My girlfriend, Rachel, met up with me at mile 5 and helped pace me to the end of the race – I was actually able to finish even before my mental goal at an awesome 2:09:57 (talk about cutting it close). 18 minutes faster than my last race! I felt fantastic (but exhausted) at having beat my goal by so much, and it was great to finish strong with a friend. Rachel was terrific about keeping me motivated through the second half of the race, and I just felt like I was in a really good state of mind after running the half.
Afterwards, I was able to get some rest when I got home as my hubby took the boys out for a long walk since the weather had warmed up a little. Then it was back to errands to prep for the rest of the week and family time since I had been gone all morning. It was overall, a really great weekend. While there were some things that I just couldn't get to unfortunately, time with the family was the most important part with everything else that's been going on recently.
Post race haze, admiring my medal before hanging it on the wall.
So! Onto this week. Another busy one, and my first week 'maintaining' instead of focusing just on losing weight. I'm going to do a bit more toning/strength training instead of my normal cardio heavy routine. I also don't plan on weighing myself on Friday like I normally do – I'm going to try to start doing my weigh-in every other week to go along with my 'maintenance' state of mind. I don't want to be obsessed with it like I've been in the past but will continue to focus on planning my workouts, meals, and making healthier choices. I'll keep you posted on how all of that goes.
Sunday: Went out to Brixx for dinner with the family. Split the salad with hubby and half of the pear and gorgonzola flatbread.
What's in store for your week? How do you plan on keeping on track this week?


Backlinks, which are sometimes called inbound links, are incoming links to a web page or the entire website. These inbound links are important to search engine rankings because many different search engines have algorithms that measure the number of backlinks a website or web page has, and ranks those web pages with more backlinks in a higher position. The more backlinks a website has, the more popular it is, and the more pertinent the information is considered by search engine algorithms. Many pages concerned with search engine optimization have mechanisms to discover how many backlinks the web page or website has, so that particular company can not only know the exact number of times that it has been backlinked, but where these backlinks are coming from, and if they are from related sources or not.
Discovering how many backlinks a website has can be narrowed down by using different search engines, such as Google, or Yahoo! SiteExplorer, or even MSN LiveSearch. This simplistic manner in discovering the number of backlinks can be an easy way for websites to find out whether any other websites find the information on the page to be pertinent to the chosen keywords or not. It can also be used as a way to re-evaluate the text on the page, and any information that could be changed to bring in more positive results. Using a search engine to determine how many backlinks a web page has though is not as accurate as building in a modification that can assist in counting the number of backlinks to the particular webpage or website.
Many search engine algorithms use backlinks to determine page rank too. A web page that has more backlinks than another with similar content will rank higher than the other page, simply because it seems to be more popular with visitors and other websites. Unfortunately, this means that many websites have engaged in paid linking, which boosts their backlink numbers. This has caused search engines to add in specifications to the algorithms used to determine backlinks that now research whether the backlinks have been paid for, or are genuine. Only genuine backlinks help web pages rank well on most search engines. This action has caused many websites to lose their page rankings, but has also allowed other pages with genuine backlinks to rise in the search engine results with major search engines such as Google.
There are different types of backlinks as well. Web pages use different types of backlinks to make the linking a mutually beneficial objective, as well as to build the number of backlinks to the website. In basic reciprocal linking, two web pages agree to link to each other. In three way linking, three or more web pages link to each other in what is commonly known as a webring. There are automatic linking services available to companies, as well as link exchange forums, where web pages can get linked to other websites in exchange for linking to other sites, and paying a fee, usually. This form of backlinking is no longer very profitable because of the restrictions placed on the web pages. Using backlinks is a great search engine optimization technique though, as long as the backlinks are genuine and are not an attempt to fool the search engine algorithms.

I've done 2 releases of Totem today, 2.21.3, the old-school Totem, and 2.21.4, the new Totem depending on the split totem-pl-parser.
This means I can finally commit my big patch for Rhythmbox.
Next up, the big gnokii automake patch.

And if we're talking impressive, I have to mention Richard Petty, who has 200 lifetime NASCAR wins – almost double anyone else. Now that's a strong performer.
Speaking of which, I'm thrilled to announce that Hyland has been named as a "strong performer" in The Forrester Wave: Robotic Process Automation, Q1 2021.
Obviously, this is great news for Hyland. But the bigger point is how robotic process automation helps our customers and partners get into the winner's circle as well.
For example, we've already built a world-class platform for automating content-related workflows and have spent decades transforming processes for organizations across industries and around the world. Now, robotic process automation joins our other solutions to create end-to-end, automated processes that deliver fast ROI by quickly streamlining operations.
Fewer pit stops
Robotic process automation empowers your organization by freeing employees from manual and repetitive tasks. By embracing intelligent automation and allowing software robots to perform all that tedious work – work that's also prone to errors – you give employees the ability to focus on higher-value tasks, like an improved customer experience.
You literally banish the busywork.
And that's important. Because it no longer matters if you're a big organization with a strong global presence, your competition is born digital now. Innovative startups are popping up with almost no infrastructure. And they're using apps and bots instead of investing in expensive and antiquated on-premises architecture.
That gives them a huge advantage. Instead of scanning paper, entering data, or toggling from system to system trying to find that data, the people who work at these organizations are free to focus on winning.
And that ever-important data they need to do so? It's at their fingertips faster and it's more accurate than ever.
More quality time
While I don't drive 200 miles per hour, yet, on the weekends, I am building my own race car for drag racing at my local drag strip. Someday, that car will be done. And I'm sure my wife would prefer I have a bot drive it.
Until then, I'm happy with bots taking care of the easy, repetitive tasks I have to do every day at work, which makes sure I have time to focus on the important things.
In the end, robotic process automation is a great way for your organization to accelerate your success. And whether we're talking about the business world or NASCAR, that's what it's all about.

Q: Is displaying a new JFrame a good pratice? I have a class called NewSale which extends JFrame
The JFrame is used by the user to create a sale (add products, choose payment method, etc).
When the user starts a new sale the software instantiates the NewSale class.
But when a NewSale is already instantiated the software disposes the older one and starts a new one.
Like this:
// declaration
public static NewSale newSale;

// the menu item calls this method
public static void startNewSale(){
    try{
        newSale.dispose();
    }catch(Exception e{
    }

    newSale = newSale();
}

My question is: Is this a good practice  or is there a better way to do it?

Well-known Japanese-American Sculptor creating stone Usu in Japantown San Jose.
Late November 2012, Jeff Sakai came to Ken Matsumoto's sculpture studio and asked him if he could make a stone usu. Since Ken didn't know what an "usu" was, Jeff explained that an usu was used to pound the rice for making mochi and drew a rough sketch with the dimensions. Ken purchased a granite boulder and using the machinery he's created to make art objects, Ken fashioned a large bowl that is an usu.
News Archive from ARTSHIFT San Jose, 2008. Written by Neila Mezynski.
If Friday night's reopening of Art Object Gallery is any indicator, I think it's safe to say that Ken Matsumoto is back in business! Due to the swift and conscientious efforts of the San Jose Fire Dept fending off a fire next door to Matsumoto's property nearly 1 year ago, the gallery is back on track. "No harm came to any of the artwork'" Matsumoto states "It would have been years and years of work destroyed'" his own and the gallery artists'. The walls almost did come tumbling down. It's luck the truss and rafter tail held. Soot and debris were everywhere due to the tearing down of gallery walls, procedures of the firemen, etc., and general fallout . Then the huge efforts of cleanup and rebuilding the gallery and studios ensued. Matsumoto has had the generous support of friends and the community of Japantown for those labors.
At the entrance to Art Object Gallery/Studio, sculptor Ken Matsumoto's raw materials stand guard.
Ken Matsumoto, acclaimed sculptor, long a favorite of San Jose, was considering discontinuing the gallery due to costs, management of the space, booking exhibits, etc., not to mention the drain on his own career and work. Matsumoto offers, "The reality of the rent and the current economic situation along with the inherent difficulties of selling art make the task especially difficult." After witnessing the outpouring of love and support from friends and the community of Japantown, he has rethought folding up the gallery. Matsumoto learned how greatly appreciated his efforts had been. The awareness of the shortage of galleries in San Jose and resulting need, not to mention the potential of the space, were all factors in his decision. Sometimes it takes a near tragedy to see what's really going on.
The Art Object Gallery entrance is welcoming with its outdoor bar, cafe tables and cactus garden.
Ken Matsumoto, with several gallery and museum exhibits to his credit and a more recent one at the Triton Museum in Santa Clara, Ca. states, "My work is now picking up where I left off with constructed pieces using glass and silk flowers. I also came into possession of a load of paraffin wax which intrigues me no end with its translucent quality."
Part of the Gallery most damaged by fire is beautifully remodeled, now featuring small bronzes by Terry Kreiter and Darrel Phelps, along with paintings and prints by Mark Bryan.
The gallery space is very large, divided into smaller rooms holding different exhibitions. Little intimate cubbyholes for some of them. Very inviting with sofas strategically placed. The rebuilt hallway, where the fire took its toll, seems quite a bit larger than before, allowing Mark Bryan's paintings and Terry Kreiter's delightful and exquisite sculptures better visibility, a welcome change. Strolling through the gallery I came upon a room featuring Matsumoto's own work. Walls painted black, formal yet intimate.
Matsumoto's pieces are intriguing, suggesting a puzzle. They invite the viewer to take another look, come closer; objects inside glass structures, layered, crude rocks sit atop carved out silken smooth surfaces, balanced on twiggy legs. Formal, elegant and accessible work.
The Wounded Warriors of painter's painter, Luis Gutierrez, are acrylic on paper, yet they have all the expressionistic abandon of the giant canvasses of the AE era.
Art Objects Gallery new exhibit, "Current Events'" features acrylic works on paper of Luis Gutierrez, photographs of Terri Garland and Deborah Mills Thackery and paintings of Mark Bryan.
Louis Gutierrez' "Wounded Warrior" series entitled' "PTSD" (post traumatic stress disorder). His work is reminiscent of San Francisco painter, Phe Ruiz. Both using memory as an incentive; broad brushstrokes and a liberal use of paint. Highly textured surfaces, wonderfully distorted faces, crudity depicting the hell of war.
Political painter, Mark Bryan , a surrealist, pokes deadly fun at our current political situation . Plenty of good material there!
Photographer, Terri Garland presents photos of Hurricane Katrina and ensuing ravaged areas depicting despair lingering in the area.
Photos revealing urban blight by Terri Garland and Deborah Mills Thackery are seen in two of the smaller galleries that have also been remodeled since the fire.
Photos of Deborah Mills Thackery's urban scrawling on street objects are also on display.
The exhibit runs through November 12th, 2008. Gallery hours: Thursday- Saturday 12-4:00.


Characteristically the skin of hands and feet shows a particular morphological design called dactylogram. This pattern is typically on the thick skin of the digits, the palm of the hands and the soles of the feet, and its properties have a leading role in human identification. The changes that take place on the volar side of the thumb due to the aging process have not yet been described. It is for this reason that the objective of the present work is to show the variation of the biostructure on the skin of the volar side of the first digit of the right hand in elderly individuals. For this research, skin samples of the right thumb from elderly Chilean subjects of both sexes were used. These samples underwent histological studies with H & E, Mallory ́s trichrome, Sirio of Junqueira Red, PAS Reaction and Orcein staining. The observation and records were made with Zeiss Axiostar Plus Microscope, a Canon PowerShot A 640 camera, and Image Tool 3.0 software UTHSCSA, 2002. The results showed significant changes on the epidermis thickness, in the basement membrane morphology, in the shape and quantity of blood vessels, the distribution and arrangement pattern of the collagen and elastic fibers, and in the increase of tactile corpuscles. These changes confirm the existence of significant histological changes due to the aging process, which could be decisive in the gradual fading of the morphological characteristics of the dactylogram, making it difficult to observe, demonstrate and record the dactylogram on individuals of advanced age which reduces the possibility of identification of those individuals, leading to possible medical-legal consequences.
KEY WORDS: Dactylogram; Human identification; Legal medicine; Aging of the skin; Histology of the skin; Fingerprint.

The Band Lula Wiles Formed A Quarantine Pod. A Folk Protest Album Came Out Of It
By Mary Louise Kelly,
Mano Sundaresan, Sam Yellowhorse Kesler
Published May 20, 2021 at 3:55 PM CDT
Isa Burke, Mali Obomsawin and Eleanor Buckland all work together. And like many people, they pivoted to remote work last year when the pandemic arrived.
ELEANOR BUCKLAND: It was a lot of sending files back and forth and FaceTime calls.
MALI OBOMSAWIN: We all had to sort of relocate and move out of the cities that we lived in during the pandemic. And I had just moved out of New York City.
ISA BURKE: I'm no longer in Nashville, for the record (laughter). We would send each other, like, our thoughts on what the others had written. But we also had some kind of regularly scheduled calls to, like, check in and talk about different songs that we were working on.
KELLY: That's right. The work that Isa, Mali and Eleanor happened to do together is a band, a folk trio called Lula Wiles.
(SOUNDBITE OF SONG)
LULA WILES: (Singing) And we could talk on the phone all night. Maybe we could get it right.
KELLY: Eventually, they did form a quarantine pod. And for a few weeks last summer, they moved into a farmhouse-turned-studio in rural Maine. That's where they all grew up. They brought their Google Docs and their voice memos, and they made an album.
BURKE: It was a strange way to make a record, but I think it yielded some really cool stuff that we might not have thought of.
KELLY: The record is called "Shame And Sedition." Like all their work, it draws from a long tradition of folk music as protest. And as it turned out when they gathered at that farmhouse last June, there was a lot for them to sing about.
BURKE: I think a lot of this record was made from a confrontational, uncomfortable space in which transformation was happening. There's so many elements of that that, I think, you have to kind of really do some excavating within yourself before you can try to create change out in the world.
(SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "EVERYBODY (CONNECTED)")
LULA WILES: (Singing) Everybody wants to be connected to something bigger. All in all they want their paradise to grow to such a figure. It's improbable.
BURKE: Do you want to jump in, Mali?
OBOMSAWIN: Yeah, I was just going to say also in the particular time period when we were recording, we recorded, you know, over the weekend of Juneteenth and, you know, the week surrounding that. And obviously, at that point, George Floyd had been murdered, and the Black Lives Matter uprisings and protests were, like, in full swing throughout the summer. You know, even before, I guess, the actions of the summer and the spring, we were really in that space of trying to confront within ourselves what our blind spots are and what privileges we all hold, respectively.
KELLY: So point me toward a song where we hear this playing out.
BUCKLAND: Could we talk about "Television" for a moment?
KELLY: Yeah.
(SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "TELEVISION")
LULA WILES: (Singing) Everybody's buying when they're selling division, and it's all waiting for you on your television.
BUCKLAND: This is Eleanor speaking. And I had a very chaotic document of some scrambled lyrics. And so we wrote the song over the weekend, and it was recorded by Wednesday. And it was this really intense experience of creating that.
LULA WILES: (Singing) The riveting show.
KELLY: I'm struck by a couple of things, one very specific line and very not scrambled lyric, who points the camera? Who points the gun?
LULA WILES: (Singing) Who points the camera? Who points the gun?
OBOMSAWIN: I think that often, the media does a lot of curating of what exactly is seen and how things are presented, and I really wanted to talk about that in an explicit way. You know, during those - the BLM uprisings and everything, we saw the phone recordings - right? - of people taking it into their own hands to try to document injustices that are happening. And then the media came back a lot of times with, you know, explicit footage of cops kneeling and, you know, cops hugging protesters and all this stuff. And I think it's the marriage of the media and law enforcement.
(SOUNDBITE OF LULA WILES SONG, "IN DREAMS")
KELLY: The very first song on this album, "In Dreams" - I read that it was inspired by James Baldwin.
(SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "IN DREAMS")
LULA WILES: (Singing) How am I supposed to know what to do with it, what to say, what to play up or play down? Ooh (ph), freedom.
OBOMSAWIN: So this is Mali speaking. I wrote that song. The song was really inspired by actually going down the YouTube rabbit hole of watching a lot of James Baldwin speeches. I think I said this in a quote. So I don't mean to quote myself.
BUCKLAND: (Laughter).
OBOMSAWIN: But I think I just said it the right way that time that he had such an incredible way of expressing profane realities, right? And I feel as an Indigenous woman, an Abenaki woman, I experience a lot of profane realities and cognitive dissonances.
KELLY: Mali, you are Native American. The other two of you are white. And I raise that because your writing and singing about, you know, race and protest to do with race and this whole national reckoning that's been underway. And I wonder how each of you thought about your road to engaging in that national conversation. Like, how do you find a toehold in?
BUCKLAND: This is Eleanor speaking, and I'm so glad you asked that question. And I think definitely a big part of this record - this idea of being in the space of discomfort, of growing and really looking at oneself. And, yeah, as you say, I'm white, and Isa is white, and we both have really wanted to not take up the microphone and space of telling stories that aren't our own but trying to support and uplift those stories. And, you know, as a band, that's really important to us.
LULA WILES: (Singing) I would take you there. I would make you care about people like me and my friends. Do you really want the world to end? Do you...
BURKE: This is Isa speaking. I think that for me and I think for Eleanor, too, like, one thing that I come back to a lot is that, like, I'm really - you know, I'm really grateful to Mali for how gracious she has been in, like, educating her white bandmates. There's so much that I didn't know. In the way that I present myself publicly, I don't ever want to act like I'm an expert on anything really (laughter).
BUCKLAND: Yeah. If I can jump in - this is Eleanor. I agree with everything Isa said. And I think it's not just as well, like, publicly but also in our interpersonal lives, it's really trying to take accountability for those things I've done in the past and might continue to do and that it's not about never being wrong. It's always about learning and acknowledging that harm potentially.
KELLY: Well, this was a pleasure. Thank you, all three of you, for taking the time and talking to us.
BURKE: Thank you so much for having us.
OBOMSAWIN: I really appreciate.
BUCKLAND: Thank you.
KELLY: Eleanor Buckland, Isa Burke and Mali Obomsawin - they make up the band Lula Wiles. Their new album is called "Shame And Sedition." It's out tomorrow on Smithsonian Folkways.
(SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "OH MY GOD")
LULA WILES: (Singing) Do you hear the shimmer of the sharpening blade? Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Supreme Court Conservatives Question Biden Vaccine Policy for Businesses
Lawrence Hurley and Andrew Chung Friday, 07 January 2022 12:27 PM
Conservative justices on Friday questioned the legality of President Joe Biden's vaccine-or-testing mandate for large businesses as the U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments in a request by Republican state officials and business groups to block the policy at a time of surging COVID-19 cases nationwide.
The nine justices were hearing extended arguments in two cases that present a test of presidential powers to combat a public health crisis that has left more than 830,000 Americans dead. The justices heard more than two hours of arguments over the administration's requirement for businesses before turning to a second argument over whether to block the administration's vaccine requirement for healthcare facilities.
The court's 6-3 conservative majority in the past has shown skepticism toward sweeping actions by federal agencies.
The White House has said the two temporary mandates will save lives and strengthen the U.S. economy by increasing the number of vaccinated Americans by the millions.
The challengers have argued that the federal government exceeded its authority by imposing requirements not specifically authorized by Congress and failed to follow the proper administrative processes for issuing emergency regulations.
Friday's first argument focused on a U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requirement that workers at businesses with 100 or more employees be vaccinated or tested weekly - a mandate that applies to more than 80 million workers nationwide. The administration is scheduled to begin enforcing the policy on Monday.
Chief Justice John Roberts wondered whether Congress or the states should have a say. Questioning U.S. Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar, who argued for the administration, Roberts appeared skeptical that the 1970 law that established OSHA gave that agency the power it needs.
"That was 50 years ago that you're saying Congress acted. I don't think it had COVID in mind. That was almost closer to the Spanish flu than it is to today's problem," Roberts said, referring to the pandemic that occurred a century ago.
Some justices raised the possibility of the court issuing a temporary stay blocking the rule while the court decides how to proceed. Some also wondered why the policy would be impermissible in the face of a historic pandemic.
"This is a pandemic in which nearly a million people have died," said liberal Justice Elena Kagan. "It is by far the greatest public health danger that this country has faced in the last century. More and more people are dying every day. More and more people are getting sick every day. ... And this is the policy that is most geared to stopping all this."
"I would find it would be unbelievable to be in the public interest to stop these vaccinations," liberal Justice Stephen Breyer said.
The state of Ohio and the National Federation of Independent Business took the lead in seeking to block that mandate.
Roberts appeared skeptical as to whether the OSHA mandate was specific to the workplace, noting that the administration has sought to enacted various mandates. As such, Roberts wondered if it is an issue that the court should address as a broad exercise of executive power.
"Why doesn't Congress have a say in this ... and why isn't this the primary responsibility of the states?" Roberts asked.
Conservative Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh both wondered if the OSHA rule could be held as invalid under a legal doctrine that says Congress must provide a clear statement on a specific issue in order for a federal agency to be able to issue broad regulations on it.
"It's not that judges are supposed to decide some question of public health, it's about regulating the rules of a system to ensure that the appropriate party does. ... Is this (a question) that has been given to agencies to decide or one Congress has make to decide as a major question under our federal system?" Gorsuch asked.
Conservative Justice Samuel Alito, while saying he is not anti-vaccinations, raised the question of potential risks to some people of getting the shots and asked whether OSHA has ever imposed a safety measure that imposes a "risk."
Under the second policy being reviewed by the Supreme Court, vaccination is required for an estimated 10.3 million workers at about 76,000 healthcare facilities, including hospitals and nursing homes, that participate in the Medicare and Medicaid government health insurance programs for elderly, disabled and low-income Americans.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), the federal agency responsible for administering the two programs, issued the rule. The states of Missouri and Louisiana are taking the lead in the arguments before the justices seeking an order blocking it.
The administration has argued that Congress gave federal agencies broad leeway to require employers to protect workers and Medicare and Medicaid patients from health and safety hazards.
Justice Sonia Sotomayor participated in the arguments from her chambers, and two arguing attorneys, the solicitors general of Ohio and Louisiana, were participating remotely by telephone, a court spokeswoman said. Ohio Solicitor General Benjamin Flowers tested positive for COVID-19, his office said, and Louisiana Solicitor General Liz Murrill argued remotely "in accordance with COVID protocols," her office said.
The justices spent most of the pandemic working remotely but returned to in-person arguments in October. All nine are fully vaccinated, the court said. The court remains closed to the public.
The Supreme Court has dealt with several pandemic-related cases already and rejected religious-based challenges to state vaccine requirements.
As in many countries, vaccination has become a divisive issue in the United States, with some people adamantly opposed and many Republicans critical of mandates imposed by governments and businesses. The United States and countries around the world are facing an upswing in COVID-19 cases driven by the Omicron coronavirus variant.
Biden's administration is asking the justices to lift orders by judges in Missouri and Louisiana blocking the healthcare worker mandate in half the 50 states while litigation on the legal merits of the policy continues.
The Cincinnati-based 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Dec. 17 lifted an injunction issued by another court that had blocked the OSHA rule regarding large businesses, prompting challengers to ask the Supreme Court to intervene.
Decisions in both cases are expected quickly.
Conservative justices on Friday questioned the legality of President Joe Biden's vaccine-or-testing mandate for large businesses as the U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments in a request by Republican state officials and business groups to block the policy.

Just joined the forum because I wanted to say that this is a really great tool! Only weak points are the lack of documentation and some functions that aren't implemented yet. Once this is fixed this will be the absolutely ultimate scraper editor.

Changed things around in Tester a bit, allowing to set ALL buffers individual, UrlEncode data in buffers download webpages or open files to any given buffer.
Buffer Chase Mode, (When you are walking through functions, the first watch window will show you what's in the current target buffer, the second will show you the buffer of the last executed RegExp, When running a function the third watch window will show you what's in the Function's Dest buffer.
Context Menu with common Regular expressions and capture options for the expression box.
also, another change that will hit svn shortly which will definitely affect your lib/app; includes.
this to allow sharing functions between scrapers (tmdb fanart is popular for instance).
spiff Wrote: also, another change that will hit svn shortly which will definitely affect your lib/app; includes.
and these <includes> will they run as a custom function?
for some reason episodeguide seems to do a linear processing of several url's. there is no reason why i wrote it like this, old old code. i should change it to follow the same rules.
and can't be that much harder with your xml parser?
spiff Wrote: for some reason episodeguide seems to do a linear processing of several url's. there is no reason why i wrote it like this, old old code. i should change it to follow the same rules.
ah, actually that's going to be pretty easy to work with. The harder problem is going to be that now i have to make it so the program using scraperxml reports all load all common functions or keep track of them to report to the scraper code or have to rewrite code so that the scraperxml does all the management of scrapers.
Just added a "Settings Wizard" that creates a GetSettings Function based on the settings details you provide it, allows you to add or remove settings at any time, integrated ScraperXML directly into the code, and added a "New Scraper Wizard" that will walk inexperience scraper makers through the process.
Currently in the process of adding the ability to create Include Files (Common scraper functions), context menu additions that include "Insert Replacement Refernce" (To add settings text, labelenum, and integer replacement indicators to the "input", "output" and "expression" content selection has been changd to a dropdown list containing all the types of content handled by XBMC and ScraperXML, as has conditional (which the values of which are read from the settings created or edited by the "Settings Wizard". Adding programs settings which allow you to specify two folders for Scrapers (one for the XBMC scraper folder, and another for a media manager app's scraper folder (though no media manager apps really completely integrate ScraperXML yet. And working on a help file with all documentation.
Internal changes being made as well as now i only use Linq to parse xml (due to the dificulty in formatting the xml) internally as string, and saving with streamwriter, rather than Linq. So now output should be alot more pretty than it used to be.
Nicezia Wrote: Currently in the process of adding the ability to create Include Files (Common scraper functions), context menu additions that include "Insert Replacement Refernce".
I've been tearing my hair out for the last week trying to modify the IMDB scraper to return rotten tomatoes ratings, so creation of include files support would greatly benefit me.
Also, just played around briefly with your editor, but how does testing work? Is there a way I can just specify a movie name and then have it step through the scraper? Managed to get it to step through one function by pasting in the HTML of a website, but I can't get it to go through the entire thing.
Another thing that would be useful to a regular expression noob like me is context highlighting of regular expressions, similiar to how http://gskinner.com/RegExr/ does it.

actually if you start with the Create search results function you can step through a scraper quite easily, just (making sure you have version 2.15 which is up for download at my sourceforge ScraperXML site) click the Set Buffers checkbox in the tester, change one of the buffers to 1 - using the numeric up/down control on the left, type in the name and press url encode then set, and then run or step through the CreateSearchUrl Function copy and paste the return to the url textbox in the tester, and pres download to $$1, then run the getsearchresults function, from the details there copy one of the results url to url textbox change one of the buffers to $$2 and put in the id (if provided by the search results, and in the $$ put in the url of the page being downloaded, press download to $$1 and then execute the function or walk through it) my next release will have the ability to do this automatically.

That's going to be some work there (I am STILL an amateur coder), but i'll work on it.

No worries, Just a wishlist feature, and I'm sure a lot of people who use your tool are quite familiar with regular expressions. It's not too much of a deal for me to use that website to construct them while I'm learning. I'll probably find I won't need something like that once I've learned regex a bit more.


Translation can be performed either in writing or in viva voice (orally). Hence the people whose office is to convey some written or spoken/ recorded matter in writing are referred to as translators and the people whose office is to render the meaning of any matter in viva voice are referred to as interpreters. Both the activities are equally important though the aims pursued by each of them are somewhat different. Say, an oral "interpretation" can not ba done otherwise than in writing. As a result the process of a written translation has always a materialized expression in the form of a word, word- group, sentence or passage which is left behind as a testimony to some work performed. The translated matter can sometimes become rather important for a country and enrich its history, literature and culture ( the translation of the Iliad an the Odyssey into Latin by Livius Andronicus in the 3rd century B.C. or Martin Luther's translations of the Old and the news Testament into German in the 16th century).
Functional substitution performed at the text level (as in puns) are often treated as "translation" too: There is the tree in the middle…It could bark…It says "Boughwouhg"… "That's why it is branches are called boughs." (Carol? Alice in Wonderland). – Он Фікус стоїть!.. Ми тому й прозвали його Фікус, що він кусається.
Finally "free interpretation" may denote a free adaptation of foreign literatures works to other national literatures like that of I. P. Kotlyarevsky's Eneid which has very little in common with Vergil's work.
Translating is also a perfect means of sharing achievements and enriching national literatures and cultures. The many translations of the best prose, poetry and drama works of world's famous authors into different national languages provide a vivid illustration of this permanent process. Due to masterly translations the works by W. Shakespeare, W. Scott, G. G. Byron, P. B. Shelley, C. Dickens, W. Theckeray, H.W. Longfellow, Mark Twain, J. London, T. Dreiser and many other authors have become part of many national literatures. The works by Ukrainian authors have also been translated into English and some other languages, the process being increasingly intensified with each passing decade after the Great Revolution. As a result when before 1917 a few poems by Taras Shevchenko were translated and published in English outside our country. Brilliant works by Lesya Ukrainka, Ivan Franko, Mykhailo Kotsyubinskiy, Vasyl Stefanyk, Andrii Holovko, Oles Honchar became available for foreign readers.
But whatever the kind of the matter (belles–lettres, scientific or technical, didactic, etc.) and irrespective of the form in which it is performed (written or oral) the linguistic significance of translation remains unchanged. It promotes enriching the lexicon of the target language. As a result of the unceasing translating / interpreting throughout the world the wordstock of national languages is constantly increasingly. Thousands of words being originally specific national notions only have become an integral part of practically each language's lexicon. Hence one one can speak of translating/ interpreting as a means of enriching the lexicon of national languages too. But it is not only the wordstock of languages that is constantly (and most evidently) enlarged due to translating/ interpreting. Many stylistic figures of speech, ways of saying and even (though rather rarely) syntactic structures are brought to target languages through translating/ interpreting. It can be proved by the existence of a lot of words and word-combinations having in different languages the same or similar lingual form and identical lexical meaning: leader лідер, box бокс, boycott бойкот, sport спорт, borshch борщ, borzoi борзой, deep gratitude глибока вдячність, black ingratitude чорна вдячність.
Whole sentence structures have been adopted in the process of translating/ interpreting. He laughs best who laughs last – Той сміється найкраще, хто сміється останнім; Strike the iron while it is hot - Куй залізо, доки гаряче.
All that can also be a testimony to the versatile influence of language contrasts. But whatever the origin, the structural identify of word – groups and sentences facilities their translation from English into Ukrainian or vice versa.
One must bear in mind that it is the notional meaning of the source language unit and not its morphological nature or structural form that is to be conveyed in the target language. As a result the target language unit which equivalently / faithfully conveys the denotative/ connotative meaning of the corresponding source language unit may not necessarily belong to the same stratification level. Depending on the notion expressed by the source language word/ lexeme it may be conveyed in the target language sometimes through a word-combination or even through a sentence i.e. descriptively: indulge робити собі приємність у чомусь, віддаватися втіхам; infamous той (та, те), що має ганебну славу; inessentials предмети не першої необхідності, предмети роскоші; вщерть up to the brim, full to the brim, в'язи the nape of one's head, the back of the head; окраєць crust of a loaf, hunk of a bread; окривіти(осліпнути) to become lame (grow blind).
Descriptive translating/interpreting is very often employed to render the content of idioms/phraseologism which has no equivalents in the target language. In English: as(mad) as a hatter цілком божевільний; All my eye and Betty Martin! нісенітниці ( дурниці); like one (twelve) o'clock миттю, вмить, прожогом; In Ukrainian: зуб на зуб не попадати to feel very cold ( to feel freezing); навчить біда коржі з маком їсти hard times make one intentive; наговорити сім кіп/мішків гречаної вовни to say much nonsence.
1. When in the target language there is no direct equivalent for the sense unit of the source language. For example, the noun "inferiority" and the adjective "inferior" (like the verb phrase "to be inferior") have no single word equivalents in Ukrainian. So their lexical meaning can be conveyed either in a descriptive way or with the help of the antonyms "superiority," "superior": The defeat of the Notts in last season's cup semi-finals was certainly the result of their physical and tactical inferiorit…(M.Star). Поразка клубу «Ноттінгем Форест» у торішньому півфінальному матчі на кубок була наслідком переваги супротивників у фізичній та тактичній підготовці.
The meaning of some English word groups can also be conveyed in Ukrainian automatically only: Baines was reading a newspaper in his shirt sleeves. – Бейнз сидів без піджака і читав газету. Half an hour ago Walter for his life would have hardly called her by name. – Ще півгодини тому Уолтер нізащо в світі не назвав би її по імені. "Do you mind this?" – Ви не заперечуєте?
4. to avoid the use of the same structure close to each other in a text: Keep your head.- не падай духом/ вище голову. Mr. Strickland was a woman of character. – Міс Стрікленд була жінкою не без характеру; тобто була жінкою з характером. Most of the staff is not away. – Більшість співробітників ще на роботі ( ще не розійшлися). Savina said nothing. – Савіна мовчала; тобто нічого не відповіла.

Steven Moffat Says SHERLOCK Season 4 Is About "Consequences", Will Film in 2016
No Comments on Steven Moffat Says SHERLOCK Season 4 Is About "Consequences", Will Film in 2016
SHERLOCK Season 4 will focus on "consequences" for Holmes and Watson, according to executive producer Steven Moffat.
The BAFTA TV awards proved to be a major success for SHERLOCK. After winning the Radio Times Audience Award, show runner Steven Moffat spent some time at a backstage press conference discussing the new season and what's to come. Moffat said the show will begin filming three more episodes in spring of 2016 and that the season will focus on the consequences of actions and the fallout Holmes and Watson never see coming.
"There are answers coming to questions which nobody has asked. There's one thing that no one has really brought up…"
"[Series four] is going to be… I suppose you'd say… consequences. It's consequences. Chickens come to roost. It's dark in some ways – obviously it's great fun and a Sherlock Holmes romp and all that – but there's a sense of things coming back to bite you."
If you're familiar with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's stories, you know what could be and that fans would certainly be devastated by a certain plot line in particular. Gut-wrenching as it may be, it would also make for really captivating television!
SHERLOCK will return in December 2015 for a one-episode holiday special, but release dates beyond that have not been set.

Rauner: Yes to medical marijuana, still no to recreational
However, Rauner said he's willing to study the idea of recreational marijuana in Illinois.

Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner continues to walk the line on marijuana in the state.
The same week that the Illinois Department of Public Health said 44,000 people in the state have asked for a medical marijuana card, Rauner once again said he's OK with medical marijuana.
The governor proudly stood by a new law that he signed to allow people to swap an opioid prescription for a medical marijuana script.

"We studied the issue of whether we should make [marijuana] available for chronic pain. We studied it because there are pros and cons because cannabis is addictive," Rauner said. "But we signed a law that basically said where opioids would otherwise be prescribed, we want to make medical cannabis available. Because it is less addictive than opioids."
But the governor remains opposed to recreational marijuana because he says it's just a massive social experiment, and no one know what's going to happen.
"What I've done is visit governors of other states [where marijuana is legal] and medical professionals, and what most of them have recommended is that we in Illinois should wait and watch," the governor said. "Because they're learning a lot of painful lessons. And it is not all been good."
