United host not-so-local rivals Exeter City on Saturday with the teams - as seems to have been the case more often than not in recent seasons - locked almost side-by-side in the league table.
The Grecians head north with an impressive home victory against MK Dons under their belts from last weekend, making it just one defeat from their last five games.
Talisman Jayden Stockley departed for Preston early in the transfer, but manager Matt Taylor moved quickly to replace him when he captured the signature of former-Blue Ryan Bowman, who had built up a solid reputation with Motherwell. Wolves centre forward Donovan Wilson also joined on a half-season loan deal to further bolster the attacking ranks.
Another dpearture was midfielder Jordan Tillson, who went to Cheltenham on loan, and he was replaced by Watford winger Randell Williams, who has been tipped to have a bright future by the Hornets.
Also heading into the building during a January of squad restructuring was West Brom defender Kane Wilson and Huddersfield full back Jaden Brown, who signed for the Grecians on loan.
A familiar face returns to Brunton Park again at the weekend, as part of the Exeter contingent, as former-academy boss Eric Kinder takes his place in the dugout beside the Exeter manager.
United boss Steven Pressley said: "We've watched a lot of their footage over the last few days and, to be honest, this is going to be a really good challenge because they're a very good side.
"They played really well at the weekend against MK Dons and they have some very exciting players. They're in a rich vein of form and they'll be coming up here to upset us. It will be a real test for us, but it's one I hope we can overcome.
"They've got a real goal threat right and they'll look to get at us at every opportunity. This is the kind of game we should be looking forward to and, if we do things properly, we can certainly lay down a couple of markers."
The sides have met a total of 61 times in all competitions with United having won 19 and drawn 17 of those clashes.
We last met the Grecians for the opening game of this season for an encounter which was played out in blistering heat. Early goals for the hosts from Nicky Law and Jonathan Forte set the Blues on the back foot, but Richie Bennett glanced a header into the net before the break to keep the Cumbrians in the hunt. There were chances to level it in the second period but Tristan Abrahams scored late in the day to make sure Exeter took the points.
Our last meeting prior to that was a 1-1 draw, again in Exeter, towards the end of last season. Ashley Nadesan scored the Carlisle goal in what was a very keenly fought game.
Our referee for this game is Mr Matthew Donohue. He has taken charge of 26 games so far this season and has shown 89 yellow cards and five reds.
New to the Football League this season, he has made just one previous visit to take charge as our man in the middle - and that was for our defeat when we hosted Tranmere back in September. The goals came late, with Tom Parkes turning the ball into his own net with 10 minutes left to play, and the points were sealed when Mullin doubled the advantage just before the full time whistle. Parkes and Jamie Devitt had their names taken on the day.
United returned to League Two action following last weekend's enforced break with a home game against fellow promotion chasers Exeter City.
It was a first chance for the Brunton Park faithful to meet new arrivals Mark Cullen, Peter Gray, Callum O'Hare, Stefan Scougall and Nathan Thomas, with Gary Liddle also back on the bench following his recent injury scare.
The Grecians fashioned the first chance of the day when a long ball forward dropped over Gerrard. Forte was onto it in a flash and he was disappointed to see his fierce first time volley zip just past the post.
Carlisle were almost opened up when Law exchanged passes with Martin on the edge of their box. Law was suddenly behind the back line but his cut back was intercepted by the attentive defence.
Unbelievable goalkeeping kept the home sheet clean moments later when Law, once more the provider, clipped a reverse path past Parkes for Forte to chase. The big striker was unmarked and just 10 yards out, but Collin thwarted him with a fantastic block as he stayed big to somehow get both hands to the ball.
United started to settle, as Hope tried to make things happen with intelligent runs on the left flank, and Thomas had the crowd on its feet when he beat two to race towards the opposition area.
But it was Exeter who took the lead when a free kick on the edge of the box, conceded by Parkes as he tussled with Forte, was rifled goalwards by Law. His initial effort hit the wall but he reacted first to smash the rebound past Collin, and into the Warwick net, despite a firm hand from the keeper.
It was a busy spell for Collin and he had to tip another rasper from Martin over the bar when he let fly from a tight angle. The big stopper had to be on his toes to smother another through ball as Forte bore down.
Better came from Carlisle when Slater and O'Hare battled for possession in midfield. The ball was spread quickly to Hope and he, in turn, picked out Thomas. He went for a shot but he couldn't keep it down and it sailed over the bar.
More good one-touch football saw the hosts switch play from Miller on the right to Hope on the left, and further good movement eventually created space for Devitt. His shot had power but it climbed high almost from the moment it left his boot.
Defender Tom Parkes forced a parried save from Pym, having stepped away with the ball at his feet in the centre circle following a strong tackle. Two strides later and he unleashed a beauty which the keeper had to get to. Thomas picked up the loose pieces and he dropped a shoulder only to then see his toe poke drift just past the post.
Carlisle had a real chance to level things up in time added on for the half when Miller carried the ball forward from deep. O'Hare took over, and he spotted Devitt making his way towards the box. The pass was on, as was the shot, but a slip took the power out of the chip and the save was easy for Pym to make.
The home side looked more composed after the break and Hope and Grainger combined to make space for a cross. Devitt got on the end of it but the ball swerved in the wind and his header crept over the target.
Substitute Stefan Scougall showed a good eye for a pass as he tried to thread it through for Devitt and Hope to chase. Pym sprinted out of his area to make the clearance. The Exeter keeper was in action again when he got down to palm a shot on the spin from Thomas away from his bottom corner with Carlisle starting to build up a head of steam.
A cross from Miller then had O'Hare interested, but Sweeney got there not a moment too soon to prevent the header. O'Hare came inside again to try to cause more problems but his final pass, following an excellent move, was stopped by Collins before Devitt could shoot.
Etuhu and Grainger had shots blocked as Carlisle started to push even more men forward, and United thought they'd done enough when O'Hare slipped the ball to Hope midway inside the Grecian half. The striker let fly and Pym, completely stranded and helpless, was relieved to see it crash back off his bar before being marshalled to safety.
The home pressure brought the goal it deserved 10 minutes from time when Jamie Devitt, January's PFA player of the month, produced another moment of real class. He had to wait an age to take a free kick, won by fleet of foot from O'Hare, but he left Pym to pick it out of the net as he kept his focus before dipping it over the wall and into the bottom corner.
Devitt almost turned provider late in the day, when he recovered a half clearance to put it straight back into the box, but it was just too far in front of the fowards and it bounced straight to Pym.
Carlisle United - Collin, Miller, Gerrard, Parkes, Grainger, Slater (Scougall 46), Etuhu, O'Hare, Thomas (Cullen 70), Devitt, Hope. Subs - Gray, Liddle, Jones, Grant, McCarron.
Exeter City - Pym, Sweeney, Woodman, O'Shea, L Martin, Law, Williams (A Martin 80), Forte (Bowman 72), K Wilson, Taylor, Collins. Subs - Hamon, Jay, D Wilson, Brown, Dean.

UAE to welcome new car registration centre
Rafid Vehicle Solutions is to launch a new project that will include the opening of a new car registration centre in the United Arab Emirates.
Rafid is affiliated with one of the Sharjah Government's investment branches, Sharjah Asset Management Company.
The news follows an agreement being made between Mobil Lubricants and Rafid.
A Rafid branch is set to open that will be able to register public vehicles and also provide integrated services such as maintenance in order to save customers time and money.
Rafid's general manager Salem Saeed Al Midfa says that project approval has already been given, with details to follow at a later date.
Al Midfa also says that the Mobil Lubricants deal is to span a five-year period.
The deal is planned to offer the best services in regard to supplying maintenance workshops with oil.
This is of particular relevance after last August's inauguration of the new Auto Express station branch, which was opened in Khor Fakkan.
The main station, which is situated in the company HQ in Sharjah, provides a maintenance service to the Sharjah Government's whole fleet as well as other customers.
Al Midfa points out that the firm is extending the facility of replacing vehicle oils to the general public in addition to government agencies.
The service is carried out in accordance with global standards.
5,000 motor vehicles per month will be given the registration service, as well as a full examination and periodic maintenance.
These vehicles include 1,300 belonging to government departments, 1,350 taxis, and 1,700 that are the property of Sharjah Police, according to Al Midfa.
The director of Rafid's accident unit, Abdul Rahman bin Kunun Al Shamsi, says that Sharjah Police cooperated with the recent launch of the road assistance service.
The service guaranteed road safety and provided malfunctioning vehicles with speedy response times.
Five primary services are provided, including displacement, charging batteries, refuelling, the transport of vehicles, and tyre replacement.
The road assistance service has resulted in Rafid transporting around 500 or 600 vehicles per month to confiscation yards.
These vehicles had either been fitted with speeding equipment, confiscated by UAE authorities, or involved in motor accidents.
The company has also been working on the development of a new smart application.
The application is intended to track a motor vehicle that has been involved in a car accident and offer driver assistance.
The app is able to register details pertaining to the accident, such as payment date, violation payment method, and the data of all involved parties.
The app is a timely reminder that accidents happen in the UAE as they do everywhere else, and underscores the need for car insurance.
It is actually a legal obligation to have car insurance on any of your vehicles in the UAE.
Car insurance is intended to provide financial protection in the event that you or your vehicle is involved in a car accident.
Car insurance can also cover damage to a third party and the theft of your vehicle.

As Valentine's Day is just around the corner I thought about writing a love poem with a difference. A love poem for my first love, my first car.
A lovely Ford Fiesta in which to go far.
Which took me to work and around the town.
It gave me independence behind the wheel.
It was hard to do 60 on the motorway!
And although it was icy I had to start an early shift.
I skidded on ice and started to cry.
I had to call for a tow, now isn't life a … pain!
Of my little Ford Fiesta, my lovely faithful friend.
That started every day, a car I could trust.
My dear Ford Fiesta I did love you!
What was your first car and do you have fond memories of it, like me?
Aww, that is a fab poem, your devotion clearly shines through!
I did indeed. It had a big hole in the floor too and I didn't notice it until after I bought it!
Poor Doris. It's amazing how much you love your first car isn't it Dolly. I think it's because it gives you freedom.
Did it have play tapes? I remember anyone who was anyone had a great stereo in their car.
My father had a Cortina, great cars they were.
Really great poem and great car! Love the glasses by the way!
This poem couldn't be written any better! Thank you so much for sharing!!!! We have a old car in our house named Ford Cortina. I'm just nostalgic about that classic British car.

Just when you think things are weird, they get a little stranger…
It wasn't hard to find an entrance to the underground tunnels and rooms once we knew where to look, but it soon became obvious that it was a proper labyrinth. We had anticipated this and one of the Monster Highs stayed outside on the spot the coordinates had pointed to. The girls know where each other is at all times so even underground we could navigate to an exact spot even though our GPS wouldn't work in the nuke proof complex. We were led unerringly through the tunnels and eerily deserted rooms. Some of them were a bit Mary Celeste because they had that look about them like someone had just stopped what they were doing and left.
Some of the doors were locked but none of the ones we needed to go through were, so we made good time. When we reached the spot where the girls unerring sense of each other's location synced up we were in a medium sized room (based on the size of the others we had passed through) that contained several metal cabinets and what looked like an autopsy slab. Sluice drains were dotted around the tiled floor and the only other thing visible in the room was a desktop computer and CRT monitor on a metal table. We split up and checked the cabinets, but they were all empty and the Monster High stood by the slab and said that something very bad had happened in that room.
Dave wandered over to look at the computer and Tony pointed out that the power light was on so Dave switched on the monitor and when it blinked into life there was a message on a black square in the centre of the screen. 'HELP ME. THE SKY IS TURNING BLACK. THIS IS JUDYZ AND I AM IN THE DARK.' Dave said that the text messages I had received must have come from this computer but then he just stopped and stared as more words appeared on the screen. 'I AM HERE. I AM HERE. I AM HERE. I AM HERE. I AM HERE. I AM HERE. I AM HERE. I AM HERE. I AM HERE. I AM HERE. I AM HERE. I AM HERE. I AM HERE. I AM HERE. I AM HERE. I AM HERE. I AM HERE. I AM HERE.' We all looked at each other and The Monkey just said, 'Fuckin' hell!'
The Monster High touched the PC and after a few seconds said, 'She is in there. Or at least what remains of her.' The Monkey told the Nerds to grab the PC but the message on the screen changed, 'NO. NO. NO. IF YOU TURN OFF THE POWER I WILL CEASE TO BE.' The Nerds went into a huddle and after a few minutes Tony pulled out his smartphone and after a couple more minutes of fiddling with cables they had managed to plug it into the PC. Once more the message on the screen changed, 'OKAY. OH SHIT. PLEASE WORK.' Then the screen flickered, the black square scrambled, and the Monster High said, 'She has gone.' Tony held out his phone and she put her hand over it and looked at us with a smile and nodded. A message appeared on the screen, 'Bubble Witch! Oh please!' Tony looked shamefaced and we all sniggered.
We retraced our steps and got out of the base without any incidents. Back at the house we sat down and just looked at each other. Tony's phone had gone quiet but the Monster Highs confirmed Judy was still in there, so he put it on charge…
Judy is still charging up. Seems she needs a lot of power and she drains the battery of the phone within an hour, so it is plugged in constantly. The Nerds are working on getting a laptop set up to transfer her into and Dave went and got a UPS to make sure nothing happens to the laptop power (that's Uninterruptible Power Supply just in case you don't know – me and The Monkey had to ask).
We have lots of questions that we would like answers to but Tony reckons she needs some more time to integrate and find her way about in the phone, plus the girls think we should just leave her alone for a bit. The Monkey is strangely accepting of this. I think he feels guilty as she has ended up in this state after helping us. He is back on the books, at the moment he is reading Lebor Gabála Érenn – The Book of Invasions, he also has the graphic novel version in case he gets bored…
Ended up watching Enter the Dragon again last night – it was on, so like we weren't going to… After a few more drinks the acting out parts of the film got a bit special and some furniture got broken and Kev's leg wound opened up a bit. The Bullshit Mr Han man sequence resulted in a lot of punching and the finale saw The Monkey as Han griping butter knives between his fingers and flailing around like a psychotic windmill. It's surprising how much damage butter knives can do…
JudyZ is now ensconced in a shiny laptop with a huge processor, loads of RAM, massive battery life and attached to the UPS. The Nerds did the transfer from the phone and she seems to have settled in rapidly to her new digital home. This means that we finally got to have a chat…
We asked JudyZ what had happened to result in her being inside a computer and the answer was predictably strange and very unpleasant:
She told us how she had been sitting in her Reading flat working on the stuff the Nerds had asked her for when she heard the door burst in and something bounced across the floor. It was a while before her senses returned after the blast of the stun grenade and she remembers vomiting and then trying to struggle against the cable ties binding her wrists. She watched as men in black tactical gear and gas masks gathered up her computer equipment, hard drives and USB sticks and then one of them knelt beside her and injected her in the neck and she passed out.
She came round as they frog marched her from a helicopter and into a dark hangar entrance – it was still night. Her head was hooded as she passed into the hangar and then she was strapped to a trolley and wheeled down endless corridors. Next, she was questioned in an interview room by suited men for hours on end. They asked her random questions that she could not possibly answer to disorientate her and then began to question her about why she was hacking classified US military networks. She said she knew she was in deep deep shit and decided that the only thing to do was to tell a version of the truth. She told them she had heard rumours about a secret military project involving psychotropic drugs and had gone looking for information. There was also a screen on the wall, and on the screen she could see a man sitting behind a desk observing the interrogation and occasionally asking questions in a soft American accent. She said the figure on the screen frightened her far more than the men in the room with her, he didn't stop grinning and his face seemed fuzzy.
At some point one of the men was called out of the room and when he returned it was to shout in Judy's face that she might think she was very clever but she was just about to find out how wrong she was. They had discovered that all of Judy's computer equipment had been wiped clean by the degaussing loop that was fitted around the entrance to her flat – and they were pissed. Judy said she knew it was about to get physical and was expecting waterboarding but what happened next was way worse than anything she could have imagined. She was dragged to the room where we had found the computer and stripped naked before being thrown onto the steel table. She was then injected with something that paralysed her but even though she couldn't move she could still talk and feel. Then they went to work on her with cutters, pliers, scalpels, hammers and a blow torch. All she remembers is screaming and screaming until she passed out, but they brought her round again and it continued.
Then JudyZ explained how she had got into the computer. At Uni she had been involved in a bio computer experiment and had a processor implanted in her arm with which she could interface with computers. The fuckers who were torturing her got out the electric cables and started zapping her and she said that she blacked out and when her consciousness returned everything was black and she couldn't feel anything anymore. She thought she was dead and in some sort of limbo. It took her a long time to realise what must have happened, she thinks that her consciousness tried to escape from the horror that was happening to her and somehow the electric shock had caused the processor in her arm to overload and the resulting data surge took her consciousness with it into the nearest computer equipment – the desktop PC. (None of us can come up with a better explanation.)
Time passed in which her body must have been disposed of and the room abandoned. She gradually began to work her way around the operating system and discovered that she could access tracking and communications data within the base, and although she had no internet connection, she found she could piggyback the comms. Then after many hours she began to sense us and that we were close – that's when she worked out how to send texts… Judy was quite upset by this point and we all agreed we should let her chill out in whatever way she could before we asked any more questions. The Monster Highs are sitting with the laptop and doing some more voodoo stuff to help Judy calm down. The Monkey is chewing on a cigar and there is fire flickering over his fur. He is angry, a cold fury, and we all know what happens when he gets this angry – someone is going to die…
Flashback!

US House unanimously approves Lumbee Recognition Act; Cherokee has opposed
Now the question is: Will the bill pass the US Senate?
Paul Woolverton
The U.S. House on Nov. 16 voted unanimously in favor of The Lumbee Recognition Act, a bill that would give the Southeastern North Carolina tribe full federal recognition and potentially millions of dollars in benefits.
Passage in the House gives the Lumbees hope that the Lumbee Recognition Act will become law before the end of the year.
"The Lumbee people have been praying for this day and today's action in the House brings us one step closer to our goal," Harvey Godwin Jr., chairman of the Lumbee tribe, said in a news release.
During the election campaign, Republican President Donald Trump visited the Lumbees in their home area, Robeson County, and promised he would sign the bill. But first it needs to pass the Senate during the lame-duck session.
►President Trump backs recognition bill for the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina.
The Lumbees have sought recognition since the late 1800s. In 1956, Congress granted the tribe partial recognition but specifically excluded it from the benefits that other federally recognized Native American tribes receive.
"For 64 years, the 66,000-strong Lumbee have existed in kind of official limbo that reflects the worst of our federal government," said Republican U.S. Rep. Dan Bishop, whose district includes Robeson County, during debate on the bill on Monday.
Full recognition is expected to provide an economic boost to Robeson County, the Lumbee's home base, which has struggled with poverty as factory jobs moved overseas. With recognition, the Lumbees would qualify for grants and other money to help with workforce development, healthcare, education and infrastructure, Godwin has previously said.
"We do not seek recognition as an entitlement fostering dependency on the federal government," Godwin said in 2016 to the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs. "Rather we seek resources to help us cross the bridge towards prosperity that we have been seeking for these many years."
The bill was advanced in the House by several North Carolina lawmakers, including Bishop, Republican Rep. Richard Hudson, whose district used to include most of Robeson County, and Democratic Rep. G.K. Butterfield, who doesn't represent the Lumbees but has been an ally for them in Congress and sponsored the bill.
"I am proud to have introduced this legislation that will right a historic wrong by finally extending the Lumbee Tribe the full federal recognition they deserve," Butterfield said in a news release. "When enacted, the Lumbee Tribe will be a sovereign entity under federal law and have access to federal funding and services that will promote economic development, access to quality health care, and robust community empowerment."
Other recognized tribes, including the North Carolina-based Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, have sought to prevent the Lumbees from getting federal recognition. The other tribes have questioned whether the Lumbees are a distinct Native American group and have said recognition of the Lumbees would reduce services that existing recognized tribes receive.
Lumbee recognition could also lead to construction of a casino in Robeson County that would compete against the Cherokees' casino in mountains of western North Carolina.
►SC indian nation casino opposed by Buncombe; Cherokee say $750M at stake
The House has passed Lumbee recognition bills before. But the bills have always been stymied in the Senate.
Both North Carolina senators, Republicans Thom Tillis and Richard Burr, support Lumbee recognition and have a companion bill pending in their chamber.
If a Lumbee bill fails to pass this year, another one can be introduced when the new Congress takes office in January. Democratic President-elect Joe Biden during this year's election campaign promised he would sign a Lumbee recognition bill.

CSBN knows the way to your needs
By Russ Cooper
"All of us are interested in why organisms go after the goals they go after," says Psychology Professor Barbara Woodside.
She is also Director of the Center for Studies in Behavioral Neurobiology (CSBN) whose researchers will comprise half of the eight featured panelists at the President's Conference on April 6; a conference discussing the links between the brain and the motivation that fuels appetite, anticipation and addiction.
Professors Shimon Amir, Uri Shalev and Jane Stewart will be discussing Brain and Reward: Appetite, Anticipation, and Drug Addiction. Professor Jim Pfaus will be on the evening Self, Sexuality and Desire panel.
Those at the CSBN are researching the neuro-pathways that help facilitate desire and dependency.
"We're concerned with the mechanisms that make you choose one goal object over another goal object," she says. "The pathways in the brain that are rewarding with drugs of abuse are the same pathways that are activated when you say, 'wow, that was a really good steak. I think I could have seconds.'
"It's about understanding the choices we make. Why have the steak and not the rack of lamb?"
Woodside, a Birmingham, U.K.-native who's been at the CSBN since 1980, was recently named as one of 11 new Concordia Research Chairs (see Journal, March 5, 2009). She studies the tendencies of female rats as they lactate. Roughly a year ago, she showed that leptin (a hormone that acts in the brain to limit food intake) is ineffective when prolactin (a hormone present during pregnancy) is present – an effect that may contribute to metabolic disturbances in some people.
As part of a tour of research facilities across the university, President Woodsworth (left) and VP Research Louise Dandurand visited the CSBN on March 30. The pair listen to technician Heshmat Rajabi while professors Barbara Woodside and Shimon Amir look on.
As for the conference, each CSBN member participating will be bringing their own unique perspective.
Amir, a Concordia Senior Research Chair holder since 2001, focuses his research on the circadian rhythm. In examining the genes inside the brain's master clock, the suprachiasmatic nucleus of the hypothalamus (the part of the brain that controls time-based aspects such as body temperature, hormone levels, sleeping and eating patterns), he's discovered those same genes function outside of the suprachiasmatic nucleus and have shown to control certain other behaviour. As for what behaviour in particular, that's part of his current investigations.
Shalev's current research focuses on reward obtaining-directed behaviour. His research has led him to theorize that the mechanisms failing to control drug-taking behaviour are the same involved in the loss of control on eating.
Pfaus' area of specialty is sexual function, focusing on measures of sexual desire in women and men, and how such measures are altered by different types of erotic stimuli. His research is centred around sexual desire, reward and inhibition in male and female rats. He is also interested in the effects of drugs of abuse on sexual behavior.
Stewart specializes in the motivational effects of drugs of abuse and the long-term effects of repeated exposure to opioid and stimulant drugs on brain and behaviour. A year ago, Stewart, whose academic career at Concordia has covered an impressive 45 years, was awarded the Officer of the Order of Canada by the Governor General.
The Center currently has 11 executive members, as well as associate members and 19 principal investigators.
"A strong point of our work at the CSBN is that we go from behaviour to mechanisms, but we don't stop there," Woodside says. "We're constantly trying to build functional connections about what's going on."

In my 30 plus years of building, I have seen and experienced some extreme twists and turns of the construction industry. My home building business peaked in 2001. Then the housing crash from 2008-2009 caused me to reposition my focus to renovation and repairs.
In 2016, I'm finding that there is still a high demand for repairs and renovation. The economy is strengthening, but financing remains tight for single-family homes, young professionals are carrying high student loan debt, and there is still a struggle to find well-paying jobs. As a result, people are delaying home buying and choosing to fix and make do with what they already have.
I can assist with a range of repair/renovation type jobs from small, inexpensive projects such as adding storage space or updating fixtures to larger undertakings that leaves very little of the original interior intact. I'll ask that you provide me with a wish list, and after some consulting I'll be happy to provide you some ballpark estimates.

The Dallas Volunteer Attorney Program (DVAP) presented the Dallas Office of Patton Boggs with the Pro Bono Law Firm of the Year Award at the annual awards reception on October 26th.
Each year, DVAP, a joint project of the Dallas Bar Association and Legal Aid of NorthWest Texas, honors the lawyers, judges and other legal professionals who donate pro bono services. This year, the award for Pro Bono Law Firm of the Year was given to the Dallas Office of Patton Boggs. Patton Boggs has a long-standing commitment to the development and delivery of legal services to people of limited means not only here in Texas, but nationwide throughout all of their offices. The firm's commitment to public service is grounded in the strong belief that lawyers have a profound obligation to give back to their communities. Helping lead that charge is Mike Forshey, Partner and Co-Chair of the Firm's Pro Bono Committee, who has a long history of pro bono work and despite a busy litigation docket devotes a substantial amount of his time guiding the firm's pro bono efforts.
At Patton Boggs, all attorneys are encouraged to do pro bono work and associates are required to perform at least 100 hours of pro bono legal services every year. "Our lawyers at Patton Boggs want to help others, we embrace the challenges of helping those who cannot help themselves, and with that culture our attorneys are ready to take on any challenge," added Mr. Forshey. Pro bono matters undertaken by Patton Boggs are diverse and have included helping indigent clients with matters involving family abuse, divorces, estate matters and landlord tenant disputes, protection of civil rights, political asylum cases for people facing violence or death if they return to their home country and helping our veterans obtain needed benefits. Patton Boggs also assists many worthy charitable organizations and causes which assist those in need.
Patton Boggs recently secured a pro bono victory for the Elizabeth Birt Center for Autism Law and Advocacy (EBCALA). An autistic child enrolled in a Texas public school was physically and illegally restrained and placed in a secluded room. The trauma resulted in respiratory problems requiring medical attention. Homebound services were requested from the school district to allow the child to continue his education; however, the request was denied. After being turned down by other organizations, the family turned to EBCALA and Patton Boggs partner Jennifer Keefe for help. This hotly contested case, including three mediations (the final one being 11 hours), ultimately settled on highly confidential, but extremely favorable terms, which will allow the family to pay for private education for the child.
In addition to Patton Boggs pro bono work with DVAP, the firm is also involved in other pro bono activities throughout Dallas, including Education is Freedom, Texas C-Bar, KickStart Kids, Human Rights Initiative of North Texas, Texas Appleseed, National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, The Child Abuse Prevention Center, Autism One and Catholic Charities.
DVAP congratulates Patton Boggs as the 2011 Pro Bono Firm of the Year and thanks each and every one of its attorneys for their service and commitment to providing these pro bono services.

The Toll Greece's Crisis Took on Mental Health Care
depression shadows
ATHENS — More than 8 ½-years-long, Greece's economic crisis shows signs of abating, but not the cost of it, especially in the despair that, combined with near-destitution for people suffering pension cuts, wage reductions and slashed benefits, has perpetuated another in mental health care.
That was illustrated in a New York Times feature showing the often irreversible, and deadly, effects for those who couldn't cope and became victims of depression, and, in too many cases, suicide.
That was case for a woman the paper identified as Anna, 68, whose husband, a retired bus driver, killed himself in a park two years after repeated pension cuts perpetuated by the ruling Radical Left SYRIZA after Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said he would halt them.
"He kept saying, 'I've worked so many years. What will I have to show for it? How are we going to live?'" said Anna, who spent the time after her husband's death in therapy and now is volunteering to help others struggling with mental health issues.
The mental health crisis has slipped under the radar under the weight of the country's trying to deal with an invasion of refugees and migrants, unrelenting political and financial scandals and infighting, a coming election and Tsipras' claims he's bringing a recovery.
Depression and suicide rates rose dramatically during the crisis that began in 2010 when Greece sought what turned into three international bailouts of 326 billion euros ($367.37 billion) that came with brutal pay cuts, tax hikes and slashed pensions.
Austerity say health care budgets cut back too, with public hospitals not even having toilet paper or paper towels, patients needing to hire private nurses and psychiatric hospitals overwhelmed and understaffed.
"Mental health has deteriorated significantly in Greece, with depression being particularly widespread, as a result of the economic crisis," Dunja Mijatovic, the Council of Europe's commissioner for human rights, said in a November report, the paper noted.
That has led to overcrowding at psychiatric hospitals and clinics and a 40 percent increase in suicides from 2010 to 2015, the report said with few safety nets for those who don't know how to handle what's in their heads.
The Greek Mental Health Research Institute found links between austerity and depression, the news site VICE reported in July, 2015, six months after Tsipras took over and with his government then locked in intense negotiations with European creditors for what turned into a third bailout, this one for 86 billion euros ($96.95 billion) – and more austerity.
In 2008, only 3.3 percent of the population showed symptoms of clinical depression, which is a state that needs to be treated with medication. In 2008, that percentage was doubled. By 2013, 12.3 percent of the Greek population had shown symptoms, it was reported.
The mental health organization Klimaka reported a 30 percent rise in calls to its suicide hotline last year, and a comparable rise in visits to its day center. "The financial crisis has increased people's vulnerability to suicide," Kyriakos Katsadoros, Klimaka's Director told The Times. "Some even ask about euthanasia."
Suicide was a rare occurrence in Greece and even with the spike during the crisis it is relatively low in Europe, with five per 100,000 people compared with a region-wide average of 15.4, according to World Health Organization data for 2016. But the rate of increase is high, jumping from 3.3 per 100,000 to 5 between 2010 to 2016.
The biggest jump came during the tumultuous 2015 when Tsipras vowed to create a Leftist revolution throughout Europe and the country seemed headed for an exit from the Eurozone which could have brought even more devastating consequences for the populace.
THE CHURCH VIEW
Many suicides in Greece go unreported because of the Orthodox Church's reluctance to provide burial services to those who take their own lives, although the church's stance is changing, nongovernmental organizations said, according to the paper.
The Greek Health Ministry set up a committee of mental health experts in November to prepare awareness campaigns, as well as plans to train general practitioners to better detect depression and other mental health issues, the extent of the state's help.
At Evangelismos, one of the capital's largest state hospitals, dozens of patients were being treated in the corridors of the psychiatric ward during a visit in April, "an unacceptable situation," the Council of Europe's anti-torture committee said in a report published in June.
In the summer, the hospital's workers' union complained to a prosecutor that the clinic was accommodating twice the maximum capacity, with fold-out beds set up in corridors and in doctors' offices.
"It's like a stable," Dr. Ilias Sioras, President of the union told the paper,, adding that people in all states — "catatonic and psychotic" — were being treated in the same space.
Dromokaiteio Psychiatric Hospital in Athens saw admissions jump 12.3 percent in 2017 with weary staff members going on fruitless strikes to protest conditions.
At Dafni, the Attica Psychiatric Hospital, which takes only serious cases, "The impact of the economic crisis is reflected in the admissions," the Director, Spiridoula Kalantzi, citing a 9.6 percent increase in 2017 told the paper.
The Council of Europe noted that "unemployed persons, bankrupt businessmen, or parents who have no means of taking care of or feeding their children" were among new admissions to psychiatric units, most age 40 and older with no previous signs of mental illness.
The Health Ministry ran a pilot program at hospitals in Athens last year to insure major areas of the Capital had at least one psychiatric hospital or clinic operating as a walk-in center at any given time, helping admissions to "stabilize" at Dafni and Dromokaiteio last year. Three new clinics opened in Greek hospitals in 2018, the ministry said, and there are plans for 16 more.
In the meantime, much of the burden falls to Greece's three main psychiatric hospitals — Dafni, Dromokaiteio, and the Psychiatric Hospital of Thessaloniki — which in addition to providing health care fills the void left by cuts to social services.
"Apart from the psychiatric cases, we have social cases, too," said Dr. Nektarios Drakonakis of Dafni. "People come, they say, 'I don't have a home, I don't have papers, I don't have relatives, I don't have anywhere to go.'"
What the government did provide, crucially, was free access to health care for uninsured patients has been an invaluable safety net, said Ms. Kalantzi, the Dafni director.
"When the delirium begins, many lose control of their finances, and then lose their insurance," she said.

Question: How did the blind date get its name?

What does it mean when someone says its a date?
Is it OK to hug on first date?
What does blind mean?
What do you say after someone says theyre dating?
The two people who take part in the blind date may have never met or seen each other, hence the phrase blind date. Furthermore, due to the unfamiliarity of the two people the date is shorter than most because they are in the beginning stages of a relationship.
November 30, 1985 Blind Date/First episode date Blind Date originally ran on Saturday nights from 30 November 1985 to 31 May 2003 on ITV. The show returned in 2017 on Channel 5.
informal. used to say that a particular time is a good time to meet: I cant make it at seven oclock. How about 9:30? Sure, its a date.
The classic handshake is fine, however, if you expect more of the date and have already developed a few feelings, its simply too formal. A good alternative is a hug. Thats ok too. But it should be a friendly hug first.
1a(1) : sightless. (2) : having less than ¹/₁₀ of normal vision in the more efficient eye when refractive defects are fully corrected by lenses. b : of or relating to sightless persons. 2a : unable or unwilling to discern or judge blind to a lovers faults.

Meanwhile, Rivers State Sport Commissioner, Boma Iyaye says the death of Shooting Stars defender, Joseph Izu 'represents another dark chapter in the history Nigerian football'.
Iyaye has urged the 3SC family to show strength following the sad turn of events while urging security operatives to fish out the killers of Izu.
"The death of this vibrant young man, cut short at the prime of his career, represents yet another dark chapter in the history of Nigerian football.
"I have since sent my personal condolences to 3SC and on behalf of the sport fraternity in Rivers State, I also urge the Izu family to be strong in this period of great sadness.
"I am also using this medium to call on security operatives to embark on exhaustive investigations with a view of bringing the killers of the late Izu to book," he said.

John Burton was a Labour Party councillor in County Durham, England.  He was a member of Sedgefield Borough Council, representing the ward of Fishburn and Old Trimdon.  He was the constituency agent of former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, who represented the Sedgefield constituency from 1983 until standing down as Prime Minister in 2007.

Relationship with Tony Blair
Burton was one of the first to spot the potential of the young Tony Blair. When the new Sedgefield constituency was created for the 1983 general election, which included Burton's home of Trimdon, the local Labour Party found themselves needing to appoint a candidate for the forthcoming election at short notice. Blair, then a London-based barrister, identified Burton as a branch secretary willing to consider his candidature and travelled to Trimdon (Burton's power base) to put his case. Blair secured the nomination, was elected an MP and began his political rise.

The Sunday newspaper The Observer reported in December 2007 that Burton planned to write a book about Tony Blair, focusing on his faith. However, to date, this has not materialised.

Later career
Burton was suspended by Sedgefield Borough Council for one month in 2007 after threatening the former Deputy Leader of the Council that he would be deselected if he voted against a planning application. Burton was a strong critic of Jeremy Corbyn's leadership of the Labour Party, saying before the 2017 general election that he couldn't see Labour forming a Government for 30 years. After the Labour Party's historic loss at the 2019 United Kingdom general election, he blamed Corbyn for the loss of Blair's former Sedgefield seat, citing Brexit and the public's mistrust of the leadership, confessing that, even though he had voted Labour, he did not wish to see a Corbyn-led government. He also encouraged centrist Labour MPs to split from the left-leaning leadership to form a new party.

Personal life
According to Sedgefield Council's Register of Members' Interests, Burton is a member of the Transport and General Workers' Union, a church warden, and a governor of Trimdon College.  He was formerly a physical education teacher. John Burton's biography is called The Grit in the Oyster.

The "Nature" of American Literature: Race, Place, and Textuality in John Crowe Ransom and Elizabeth Madox Roberts.

If John Crowe Ransom is best known to contemporary literary critics as the father of the New Criticism and the founding editor of the Kenyon Review, his next claim to fame is his membership in a group known as the Southern Agrarians. This coterie, which included Donald Davidson, Allen Tate, Robert Penn Warren, and Andrew Lytle, coalesced around the essay collection I'll Take My Stand (1930). Ransom and Davidson solicited essays for this volume to defend southern culture against the sort of condescension that H. L. Mencken memorably voiced when, in the New York Evening Mail in 1917, he called the US south a "Sahara of the Bozart." In "Reconstructed but Unregenerate," Ransom's contribution to the collection, Ransom made a case for Southern Agrarianism as a wellspring of American regional culture--a culture that was for him implicitly stratified by race and class. Contemporary scholarship has roundly critiqued Ransom's defense of white supremacy and class hierarchy. However, Ransom's account of valuable southern culture also advances a theory of reading which, I will argue, persists in contemporary literary practice in underacknowledged ways. (1) About halfway through the essay, Ransom zeroes in on the southern farmer, whom he imagines as a foot soldier arrayed against the degradations of modernization and industrialization. In language that anticipates the interventions of his discipline-defining "Criticism, Inc." (1937), Ransom depicts a farmer's agrarian labor as a kind of reading practice that involves the production, extraction, and consumption of "meaning": the farmer "identifies himself with a spot of ground, and this ground carries a good deal of meaning; it defines itself for him as nature. He would till it not too hurriedly and not too mechanically to observe in it the contingency and the infinitude of nature; and so his life acquires its philosophical and even its cosmic consciousness" (RU 19-20; italics mine). The farmer's contact with the ground, that is, involves receptive observation as much as it does the application of tools and muscle. Working "not too hurriedly and not too mechanically," he comes to understand himself in relation to the land, as he "identifies himself with" the ground, which "carries ... meaning" and "defines itself for him as nature." The ideal farmer thus elicits meaning and definitions from the dirt he works much as he might from a written text. Read attentively, the earth further functions as a text that discloses "the contingency and infinitude of nature." These two qualities figure the farmer's experience as something like the Kantian sublime: in its vastness "nature" outstrips the feeble, finite human, and through its stubborn materiality it resists subsumption in abstractions; but through the careful application of attention (which I am construing as a kind of reading) the farmer imbibes some of nature's infinitude, "acquir[ing]" a "philosophical and cosmic consciousness." In Ransom's vigilant farmer we can begin to see a set of representational practices we might call natural reading and natural writing: Ransom positions a personally enriching reading practice as the product of a physically direct and attentive relationship...

When we convert a PDF to HTML we take the PDF page size. So for a standard PDF file, this might well be around 840×595 pixels. This is fine for most uses but sometime users want a larger version.
So we also include a scaling option. When we scale it, we preserve aspect ratio (otherwise the page would look odd). So you could alter this document to be 1680x 1190 pixels or any scaling value (we will multiply 840 and 595 or whatever the dimensions are by this number). And it can also be less than 1 (so you could reduce it to 420×298 pixels).
This works well but up until now it has need you to edit and recompile our example Java code. So we have added a flag so that you can set this value without this when you run the code.
would give you an HTML file one and a half times the size of the PDF file.
