The hundreds of plates with the words "Ihor Havryliuk Street" are stacked in the office of first deputy head of the Tomashpilska AH in the Vinnytsya Oblast Vitali Hodny. They have just been delivered from the manufacturer and still smell of printing paint. Ihor Havryliuk, resident of Tomashpol, served as a lieutenant in the 30th motorized brigade and acted as the deputy company commander in charge for the human resources. He was drafted on August 1, 2014, a year and a half later he was killed during the retreat of the Ukrainian troops from Debaltseve. The decision to rename the main street of Tomashpol which for several decades had been named after Lenin was adopted almost simultaneously with the decision to establish the Tomashpilska AH that first local elections took place in the end of 2016. A lot has been done since that time, and now it's time to change the street shields. But even without them the hromada residents are well aware that the Tomashpilska AH lives quite a different life after the amalgamation.

Movie Review: CLEMENCY
By ABBIE BERNSTEIN 12/27/2019
Rating: R Stars: Alfre Woodard, Aldis Hodge, Wendell Pierce, Richard Schiff, Michael O'Neill, Vernee Watson, Danielle Brooks Writer: Chinonye Chukwu Director: Chinonye Chukwu Distributor: Neon Release Date: December 27, 2019 CLEMENCY, written and directed by Chinonye Chukwu, is a movie we haven't exactly ever seen before. There are certainly innumerable character studies, and plenty of movies about death row. But there aren't many (if any) others from the point of view of the prison warden, and we haven't met onscreen any wardens like Bernadine Williams (Alfre Woodard). Bernadine is thorough and dedicated to carrying out her job by the book. […]Read On »

LUKE CAGE: Cheo Hodari Coker and Mike Colter power fists onto Netflix – Interview
Luke Cage, as played by Mike Colter, was introduced last year on Netflix's MARVEL'S JESSICA JONES. The hero with impenetrable epidermis seemed an ideal romantic match for Krysten Ritter's super-strong heroine – until Luke found out that Jessica was (while brainwashed) responsible for the death of his beloved wife. Now Colter and Luke have the title in MARVEL'S LUKE CAGE, which debuts its entire thirteen-episode first season on Netflix Friday, September 30. Luke has returned to Harlem and wants to keep a low profile, but a brewing gang war may make that impossible. Executive producer Cheo Hodari Coker (a writer/producer […]Read On »

Hither and Yon
Five Quick Things: Boy, How About That Press Conference, Huh?
An interesting data nugget percolated the other day about a "sharp worsening" — that is to say, an increase — in the number of car loan defaults among borrowers under 30 years old.
According to Bloomberg Financial News, the rate for the Millennial demographic was 4.04 percent last quarter vs. 2.36 for the general population, or about twice as high.
But it's not just The Youth who are in danger of having their cars repo'd.
The overall delinquency rate last quarter was at its highest level since 2012 — and the total number of car loans (new and used) as well as leases is up by 5.2 percent.
More people, in other words, are buying cars they can't afford.
What's especially interesting is that the increase in delinquencies isn't happening in parallel with a recession. Unemployment is at a 50-year low. People aren't defaulting on their car loans because they lost their jobs.
Their jobs just don't pay enough to support a car loan.
This shouldn't surprise anyone who has been following the car business even casually. It now takes roughly twice as long to pay off a typical new car loan as it did in 1970 — about six years vs. three once upon a time. Because the cost of cars has geometrically outpaced what people are earning.
But — and here's the interesting thing — not all cars.
In fact, today's entry-level cars cost about the same as their analogs of almost 50 years ago.
For example, in 1970, you could by the all-new Chevy Vega (God help you) for just $2,090 — the equivalent, adjusted for inflation, of just under $14,000 today.
Which, today, could buy you a much nicer car like the 2019 Mitsubishi Mirage I recently reviewed.
See here for that.
And the new Mirage does not have a self-melting engine, as the Vega did (Chevy decided to install the pistons in the aluminum block without iron cylinder liners) but does have air conditioning, power windows, locks, and even cruise control — things which only Cadillacs had back in 1970.
The problem is the cost of the average new car.
It approaches $35,000 — which is almost-Cadillac money. Well, it was — once.
You could buy a '70 Sedan DeVille for $6,118 in 1970 — equivalent to $40,740 today, or only slightly more money than people are paying for average cars.
But average people are not earning Cadillac money — while trying to finance cars that cost Cadillac-equivalent money.
Wherein lies the rub.
If lending standards were stricter, there might not be a problem. It might even solve some other problems.
One of the reasons — probably — that most people don't raise a ruckus about the cost of endlessly proliferating government regulations and mandates is these costs are made less noticeable to them by extending the time it takes to pay for them.
Six years now vs. three years then.
If loans were still three or even four years, it would be impossible for probably half or more of the people currently buying cars to do so.
This would impose market discipline on government regs and mandates, motivate average people to take an interest in cost vs. benefit.
As opposed to believing, like little children, in the Free Lunch.
They might question, for instance, the value of a car that "saves gas" by costing them $3,000 (or more) to buy, because it has a direct-injected rather than merely fuel-injected engine. Or a micro-turbo'd four that costs 10 percent more to buy than a slightly thirstier V6.
Stricter lending standards — loans issued based on people's ability to repay them — would also serve the salutary purpose of encouraging people to live within their means and even possibly below them.
To purchase what they can afford — as opposed to what some shyster bank will lend them. The bank being shystery for making the loans it knows borrowers can't afford and because it knows it can offload the inevitable delinquencies onto someone else in a kind of musical pickpockets game.
One hand doesn't wash the other — it filches the cash out of the wallet of the other.
People might have to drive cars like the $14k Mirage rather than $38,000 Camrys with 300 horsepower engines that get them to 60 in 5 seconds, climate control AC, a cheerily glowing LCD touchscreen and such. But they'd own the thing after making three or four years of manageable payments — and wouldn't have to worry about making a payment on the car — or paying the rent.
They might even have a couple hundred bucks in actual cash money in their bank accounts, to pay for an unexpected expense— without having to charge it.
Oh, the humanity.
It all reminds me of July 1, 1987 when President Ronald Reagan nominated Judge Robert Bork for an opening on the Supreme Court. He had it made in the shade, said my complacent conservative friends. The result was brutal. But we do not have to look back 32 years to see how unruly the leftwing mob can be. Recall the recent fate of Judge Brett Kavanaugh. Only his courage and unscotchable determinate saved him. The simple fact is that the conservatives are often slow on the draw against the American left. Only the Wall Street Journal and the intrepid New York Sun have come out swinging for Moore. It is time for the conservatives to rally around him. He can probably win with the President on his side. He apparently has the votes. Yet the coming battle would be a lot less bloody if the conservative movement were to take the field on Moore's behalf — and make it clear that from now on they are going to wage war for the President's nominees.

I don't know how much original Scrappy production art survives–for all I know, Columbia has a vaultful of the stuff–but it's safe to say that it's not exactly plentiful on the open market. I do own one piece that seems to have been prepared for a book. In all my time as a collector of Scrappyana, though, I've run across only two pieces that seem to have been done during production of a cartoon–one of which was gone before I found it, and the other of which I was foolish enough to let out of my grasp.
Until this weekend. Within ten minutes of arriving on the floor of the dealer's room at the San Diego Con, I was rifling through Scrappy drawings. Maybe I've developed some sort of weird Sixth Scrappy Sense.
True, the seller, who said that they came from Pete Burness's collection (did he ever work for Mintz?) also told me they were from Willie Whopper cartoons. But I knew better, and now they're mine.
It's been almost a year since my last significant update to Scrappyland–but I've begun work on a version 3.0 that'll feature these and other recent additions to the archives. Meanwhile, does anyone else out there have more information (or informed speculation) about these pieces?
Hi Harry. Are there any numbers or inbetween spacing charts on the first two drawings? Anything on them besides the images that you've printed?
Hi, Mark: The second drawing has a number in the upper right-hand corner; the other two have no other markings other than what I've shown.

City of Northville, MI » News » What's New » PC green lights Downs PUD with conditions
Mixed-use development at Downs, Cady St. advances
The Planning Commission voted 7-2 on Sept. 7 to recommend approval, with conditions, of Hunter Pasteur Northville's Planned Unit Development (PUD) and Preliminary Site Plan to redevelop the Downs Race Track and sections of S. Center, Cady and Griswold into a mixed-use development.
The development proposes to be a primarily residential area with commercial space on Cady St. Housing styles include single-family homes, townhomes, row houses, carriage houses, single-family attached homes, a condominium building, and an apartment building. In addition, two new parks would be added: a central park and a river park. Daylighting the river, creating a new south gateway and contributing toward the restoration and relocation of the historic log cabin would be among the public benefits resulting from the project.
The PC's Sept. 6 meeting was held at the Northville Community Center to accommodate members of the public who wanted to comment on the project. There were approximately three hours of public comment and nearly four hours of deliberations among commissioners. The meeting ran from 6:30 p.m. to 1:30 a.m. (The vote was taken at the end of the meeting, which was Sept. 7.) Two dissenting members were Vice Chair Steve Kirk and Commissioner Jeff Gaines. Public comments – some from people who have spoken previously – were wide ranging with many focusing on concerns regarding density and traffic. Several also provided written comments. View them on the website.
The meeting came just one week after the PC's Aug. 29 special meeting, where commissioners collaborated with City Planner Sally Elmiger and Special Counsel Carol Rosati, to revise a draft list of conditions that would be attached to the PC recommendation to City Council. Those conditions were further revised and refined at the Sept. 6 meeting. Part of the motion includes a list of public benefits and cites where the developer deviates from design standards with the commissioners' consent.
Chair Donna Tinberg expressed pride in the comprehensive deliberations by the Planning Commission relative to the preliminary site plan/PUD that began in earnest in April 2022 following a formal public hearing in March 2022. Various revisions by the developer were presented in response to commissioners' suggestions, task force recommendations and public opinion. Tinberg was complimentary about the civil discourse of public comment.
"Part of our city's character is how we behave toward one another," she said. "Diverse opinions were expressed and listened to respectfully throughout the process. I really appreciate that about this community."
City Council is expected to begin considering the Planning Commission's recommendation later this month and there will be opportunities for the public to provide comments to City Council during that process. The City Council could delete, change or add conditions to the PC's list prior to voting. If the PUD and preliminary site plan are approved by Council, the developer will return to the Planning Commission for approval of the final site plan. A final site plan is likely to be submitted in phases that align with the construction schedule. Meanwhile the Downs Project Advisory Commission (DPAC) will make recommendations to City Council regarding project costs and funding sources.

Some of the most rewarding projects we get to work on here at Home ReBuilders are for past clients. When are often called by homeowners that we have worked with in the past to come back and shape their homes again. Families grow or change and needs shift. We have many clients that call us back again for another area of their home or a new home entirely.
In 2006 we worked with a young family with three small children. They had recently purchased a home in Buckhead. The home was a clean, contemporary space that needed a fresher kitchen and baths as well as new paint and some wall removals.
Now 9 years later we are back to complete a master bath renovation and the addition of an exterior patio to increase the function of the exterior of the home.


Tickets through Ticket Star will go off sale Friday, August 30th at 8AM. All will call tickets can be picked up day of the event at the main gate. Tickets will be able to be purchased at the main gate of the fairgrounds once the fair opens on Friday.


Scotland will play Qatar in Edinburgh tomorrow afternoon in their first match of an Under-16 International Tournament being held at Oriam and the Forthbank Stadium this week.
The young Scots will then take on England on Thursday evening in Stirling before returning to Oriam on Saturday to play Uruguay.
The tournament is part of a fixture programme designed to provide the best young Scottish talent with international experience.
The squad, born in 2002 or later, will also travel to Poland in September for two friendly matches before participating in this year's Victory Shield in Northern Ireland.
Six Performance School players have been selected for the Scotland squad by coach Brian McLaughlin.
All three of Scotland's matches this week will be streamed live on the Scotland National Team Facebook and YouTube channels.
Tickets for Scotland's matches against Qatar and Uruguay – both at Oriam – are available to buy in advance here priced at just £5 for adults and £2 for concessions.
Please note that tickets for the matches at Oriam must be made in advance – there will be no cash gate on match days.
A cash gate will be in operation at the Forthbank Stadium on Thursday evening for the match between Scotland and England with entry also priced at £5 for adults and £2 for concessions.

Thorneside – Natural hazards and critical infrastructure
Redlands Disaster Plan > Thorneside > Thorneside – Natural hazards and critical infrastructure
Thorneside has a very limited bushfire risk, with land surrounding the Sewage Treatment Plant being identified has having medium to high bushfire risk. Thorneside boarders Brisbane City along Tingalpa Creek and the land adjacent to this suburb, in Brisbane City, is identified as having a moderate to high bushfire risk.
Thorneside is located at the mouth of the Tingalpa Creek, one of Redland City's largest watercourses. Current mapping shows that Tingalpa Creek would be the primary source of flooding in Thorneside, from tidal inundation caused by a storm tide event.
The greatest impacts of storm tide would be felt by properties along the Tingalpa Creek in the area of the Esplanade, Railway Parade, Ferry Road and Thorneside Road, as well as those properties along the exposed foreshore area of Queens Esplanade. The potential for flooding along Tingalpa Creek is heightened during heavy rain events. Leslie Harrison Dam, which is situated approximately 6.5 km inland from the mouth of the creek, is an un-gated dam, meaning that when it reaches 100 per cent capacity, water flows over the spillway and safely out of the dam.
Seqwater has developed a comprehensive Emergency Action Plan for the Leslie Harrison Dam to meet the requirements of the Water Supply (Safety and Reliability) Act 2008 in order to manage any crisis or dam failure.
Landslide Hazard mapping indicates that Thorneside has a limited risk of landslide. A small pocket of low to medium landslide hazard has been identified along the waterfront at the most northern point of Mooroondu Road and a second small pocket of low to medium risk identified between Ruth Street and Claremont Street. There are a limited number of residential properties in these areas that are impacted.
Critical infrastructure at the time of a disaster event includes utilities such as power, water, sewerage, telecommunications, gas and road and rail networks. Impacts of a disaster on these services may have far-reaching long-term affects for mainland communities.
Thorneside is a long established residential suburb and as such most properties are connected to the sewer network. There are a small number of homes along Railway Parade, Ferry Road and Esplanade that are not sewered and rely on gravity-fed septic systems to dispose of their wastewater. Thorneside has a Sewerage Treatment Plant located at Quarry Road that services the surrounding area of Thorneside, Birkdale, and Wellington Point. Current hazard mapping indicates that the Thorneside Sewerage Treatment Plant may experience impacts from tidal inundation during an extreme storm tide event.
Thorneside receives its water supply from the Alexandra Hills Reservoir located at Hilltop Circuit. The This reservoir services the Redland City's northern suburbs via a pipeline network that is both gravity-fed and pressurised. The reservoir holds a mix of water from the Leslie Harrison Dam and the Herring Lagoon bore field on North Stradbroke Island.
This is possible because the Alexandra Hills Reservoir connects to both the Leslie Harrison Dam and the Mount Cotton Reservoir at Tallow Wood Court. The Mount Cotton Reservoir is in turn connected to the Heinemann Road Reservoir at Mount Cotton, which connects to both the SEQ Water Grid and North Stradbroke Island.
Redland City is connected to the SEQ Water Grid via a pump station on Gramzow Road, Mount Cotton which allows water to be pumped to and from the city via the Heinemann Road Reservoir. This network of reservoirs, pump stations and pipelines ensures that water can be moved around the network and that multiple water supplies are available to residents living in all areas Redland City.
Thorneside's power supply enters the city via an underground powerline along Rickertt Road that crosses Tingalpa Creek from Brisbane City. From this point, the vast majority of Thorneside is serviced by an overhead powerline network, as is consistent the longer established residential suburbs.
Overhead powerlines are more susceptible to damage during severe weather which can result in power outages and fallen powerlines. Fallen powerlines can cause significant dangers to the community, be aware that any object in contact with powerlines could be live. The area is more dangerous in wet conditions as water is an excellent conductor.
There is no domestic reticulated gas service within Redland City and no gas main that runs through the suburb of Thorneside, however there are some homes within the area that use gas bottles the service hot water systems and cooking appliances. Residents are reminded to be diligent with the appropriate storage and maintenance of any gas bottles that they have located on their property.
Thorneside is connected via landlines to the telecommunications and data networks. There is good mobile network coverage in Thorneside with limited to no mobile reception black spots in the area. Telstra is the major supplier of telecommunications to the region; other suppliers include Optus and Vodafone.
Harbours and Marinas
Thorneside does not have an established harbour or marina; however there are a number of small boat moorings in the Tingalpa Creek directly opposite the Esplanade and further around to the mouth of the creek. These moorings and vessels are at risk of structural damage should a storm tide event impact the Tingalpa Creek.
The rail network enters Redland City via Thorneside, crossing Tingalpa Creek to the north of the Thorneside Sewerage Treatment Plant and continuing on to the Thorneside Station. From Thorneside Station the rail network continues east to Birkdale Station and Wellington Point Station where the line turns south-east to Ormiston Station and Cleveland Station, where it terminates.
Current Flood Prone, Storm Tide mapping indicates the possibility of the rail network being cut by flood water on the Redland City side of Tingalpa Creek, north of the Tingalpa Station. If this were to occur, rail transport in and out of Redland City would be cut along with rail access to Brisbane City. This would prevent any evacuations via rail to the RNA Showgrounds which is the primary evacuation centre for Brisbane and an alternate evacuation centre for Redland City residents should the city's infrastructure be significantly compromised by a disaster event.

Inside the Student Experience at Booth
Damian Kozbur, PhD '14, says PhD students at Booth have the flexibility to work on risky problems that no one else has examined.
Exit Video
Damian Kozbur, '14: 00:01
I went to graduate school in order to develop econometrics tools in conjunction with machine-learning tools in conjunction with economic theory in order to do inference for economic parameters. When you work in high dimensional estimation and you're dealing with problems where the number of variables you're looking at can potentially be in the millions, there's no way to visualize what's going on. Demands now really require that you can handle huge datasets. There's something really satisfying about studying a problem and studying it well. I would say Booth is an excellent place to do it. You have the flexibility to work on really risky problems where you're trying to navigate this landscape that nobody's ever really looked at before. You have an opportunity to dig deeper. You have an opportunity to be rigorous. The faculty is there to help you. They're trying to figure out the same kinds of problems. Things that you figure out cannot always be visualized and it cannot always be easily understood. That doesn't necessarily mean that it's not practical or not useful.
There's an incredible explosion in terms of the amount of data we have on everything. There is an incredible explosion in terms of our understanding of high dimensional econometrics. If you're doing innovative work right now, it will have an impact.
Current Econometrics and Statistics Students
PhD students in econometrics and statistics apply statistical methods to a wide range of business problems, from the effectiveness of machine-learning tools to video-game preferences. Our graduates go on to work in high-profile institutions, generally in academia, finance, or data science.

Guest Room|The Lodge at Saint Edward Park
Inspired by the whimsical forest......
Lodge at Saint Edward Park|Kenmore, WA
Nestled within Saint Edward Park in Washinton State, St Edward Seminary was built in the 1930's, functioned as a Catholic Seminary for over 40 years, then sat empty for decades after being shuttered in the 1970's. After a thoughtful and extensive renovation, this historic preservation and adaptive reuse project opened in Spring, 2021 as an 86 room boutique hotel featuring a restaurant, two bars, a ballroom, a spa and 8 meeting rooms. The interior design concept evolved with the idea of the natural setting as both a spiritual component and a source for the color palette. The architectural details of the building inspired details of the custom finishes and furnishings. With a blend of contemporary with traditional, the new interiors sit comfortably within the architectural style of the Romanesque Revival exterior while injecting some needed comfort and color into the formerly monastic interior environment. Inside, you will find cozy vintage-inspired guest rooms, an elegant and airy restaurant, a deco-inspired lobby bar, and a more intimate bar in what was once the luggage and barber shop area. Custom murals, historic photos, and one of a kind custom and vintage décor complete the newly conceived hospitality spaces.

Imagine if the policy of "targeted killings" was carried out by some other means other than those marvelous high tech drone contraptions. (Remember, "drones" aren't the policy, "assassination" is the policy.) What would we think of a policy that killed people who weren't the intended targets about 90% of the time? We're not talking about missiles going off course, we're talking about intelligence failures and by extension foreign policy failures. We hit what we aim at, unfortunately, much of the time we just tend to aim at the wrong people.
Even though the Obama Administration says that targeted killing is only used when there is an "imminent threat" and there is "near certainty" that all will go just peachy, this is basically a global execution program without due process or transparency. Be sure to read the stories behind this cartoon and dive into the strange world of watch lists, kill lists and interagency warfare.

Crusey & Ruszkowski: Litmus Tests From Left & Right Are Standing in...
Crusey & Ruszkowski: Litmus Tests From Left & Right Are Standing in the Way of Education Reform's Promise for Children and Families
By Lea M. Crusey & Christopher Ruszkowski
The education reform movement continues to evolve, sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse. Because movements are fundamentally about responding to and creating positive change, that's a good thing, even if we sometimes find ourselves in a defensive position. Change within our sector is healthy — particularly when it allows deeply held shared principles to assume new forms.
Blame for any real or perceived regression in the movement spans the spectrum. Late last month, Rick Hess, one of our sector's most prolific thought leaders, drew from recent research and experience to call out education reformers for applying litmus tests to our work. Hess argued that these litmus tests are alienating current and potential allies in the work of improving public schools. The piece got people's attention, including ours.
The truth is, litmus tests can provide a valuable sorting mechanism. The truth is also that imperfect litmus tests can miss the forest for the trees. Each of us, from wherever we sit on the American political spectrum, can point to an orthodoxy of the left or the right that must evolve in order to better serve our students. The argument that the litmus tests of the left are hurting education reform could certainly be matched by an essay on the pitfalls of the litmus tests of the right. The truth is that the litmus tests of both the left and the right are holding back deeper collaboration, conversation and collective action.
As we reflect and move forward, let's continue to put students at the center of the agenda. Collectively, we now have multiple generations of education reformers (most of whom are current or former teachers) and an expansive set of education reform organizations. Will we capitalize on learning to get stronger, or will we fall victim to fragmentation? Will we allow members of our coalition to evolve and take action on parallel issues without casting them away? Those who block access to our broad tent risk being less effective at achieving tangible goals, and those who bemoan a shrinking tent risk turning it into a self-fulfilling prophecy.
If anything, this feels like a time for persuasion in the proverbial town square, where we should each be willing to revisit deeply held beliefs, make space for our differences and variety of lived experiences, and acknowledge that no political affiliation has a monopoly on the truth when it comes to improving our nation's public schools.
For example, standing with Dreamers (a.k.a. our students) is now a part of the education reform movement and a litmus test that everyone working in education should embrace, regardless of ideology. We can stand with our young scholars while still having an open dialogue about immigration issues and trying to address them. We're certainly not experts on immigration policy in the same way that we have moral authority on education policy — and we're willing to learn more from those who are.
Concurrently, standing with social entrepreneurs who provide better and more innovative school options for families presents another important litmus test for our movement. Choice is fundamental to our movement, and to our country. That belief threshold likely alienates some who love their job security, well-resourced district or private school, as well as those who resist anything that threatens local control.
So, litmus tests aren't inherently a bad thing. They work when they strengthen core principles, and they don't work when they conflict with them. Those who have recently opposed policies such as higher pay for teachers in high-needs schools, removing low-performing teachers from classrooms, regulating public charter school markets that are underperforming, providing resources that could help improve facilities or helping a child feel safe in their own identity may have forgotten along the way whom we are here to serve.
In each of those cases, litmus tests helped clarify where we stand as a movement.
Meanwhile, each day, outstanding educators and school leaders around the country are doing incredible instructional work to draw out the genius of their students so they are on their best path to excellence in school and life. They deserve our continued support — in word, deed and resource. We should all be drawing upon lessons from excellent schools and systems and bringing those best practices to scale. In short, we should find out what's working, and do more of it.
We are both former teachers who believe deeply in the power of knowledge and the potential of each child. We have leadership experience in a variety of edu-political and policy roles across the country, and we collaborate, on a daily basis, with Democrats, independents and Republicans on issues of importance for our students. We stand ready and willing to continue doing so — as do thousands of others we know.
The education reform movement can be reignited into its next chapter by all of us continuing to visit schools, classrooms and on-the-ground organizations that have established a strong track record or proof-of-concept from which we all can learn. We encourage our colleagues to "get proximate," go "bottom-up," "go local" or "get away from the swamp" — whichever adage you prefer — and resist the temptation toward infighting.
The only way we'll sustain momentum for children is to be open to new ideas, stay committed to the core principles that brought us to this work and remain deeply connected to the day-to-day lives of America's students and families.
If you don't, you won't pass our litmus test.

Saprolegnia and Phytophthora: Water Molds or Oomycetes

The Oomycetes or Water Molds
Oomycetes or water molds are interesting organisms that share some features with fungi. They often grow in aquatic and damp environments but are also found in drier areas. Saprolegnia and Phytophthora are important examples of the group. Saprolegnia is a common cause of the so-called fungal infections experienced by freshwater fish. Phytophthora was responsible for the devastating Irish potato famine of the nineteenth century and is also a pathogen of other plants.
Oomycetes (pronounced oh-oh-my-see-tees) were once classified as fungi because their body and behaviour have similarities to these organisms. They grow as branching filaments known as hyphae, as fungi do. They also absorb nutrients through the walls of the hyphae and reproduce by spores. Biologists have discovered that there are some important differences between oomycetes and fungi, however. Despite being called "water molds," oomycetes are not molds. True molds are fungi.
Though biologists agree that oomycetes shouldn't be classified in the same group as fungi, there isn't yet a consensus about how they should be classified taxonomically. They are thought to be related to the Chromista, a group that contains several types of algae. These algae share certain features with oomycetes that fungi lack.

Saprolegnia Hyphae and Nutrition
The body of Saprolegnia consists of branching hyphae that extend through its food source. The walls of the hyphae are made of cellulose. The hyphae generally lack cross-walls, except at the base of the reproductive structures, and contain multiple nuclei.
Fungi very often (but not always) have cross-walls known as septa in their hyphae. These divide the hyphae into cells, each with its own nucleus or nuclei. The walls of fungal hyphae are made primarily of chitin and don't contain cellulose.
The various species of Saprolegnia are either saprophytes or parasites. Saprophytes feed on dead bodies or decaying material that was once living. Saprolegnia hyphae release digestive enzymes into their environment in order to convert dead or decaying material into a suitable form for absorption.
Parasitic forms of Saprolegnia are found in living organisms. They obtain their food by digesting materials, cells, and tissues in their environment and then absorbing the products. They are sometimes classified as necrotrophs because they kill living cells and extract nutrients from them.
Saprolegnia

The Saprolegnia photographs in this article show real organisms or structures made by them as viewed under a light microscope. The colour of the photos has been digitally adjusted to make the parts of the organisms easier to see, however. The photo above shows a hypha (item C) and reproductive structures. The structures are identified and described below.
Asexual Reproduction
Some of the hyphal branches of Saprolegnia develop a zoosporangium at their tip, as shown in item B in the photo above. Item D is the upper wall of the zoosporangium, or the septum. The zoosporangium produces spores by asexual reproduction. Each spore is known as a zoospore and is motile. When a zoospore is released from the zoosporangium and germinates, it produces the first hypha of a new individual.
Each zoospore has two flagella, which are of different types. Flagella are long and thin extensions that are often found on motile cells. As flagella move, they propel a cell through a liquid. One of Saprolegnia's two flagella is known as a whiplash flagellum and the other as a tinsel flagellum. Each points in a different direction. Hair-like extensions surround the tinsel flagellum.
The two types of flagella possessed by a zoospore can be seen in the illustration of the Phytophthora infestans life cycle shown later in this article. The nature of the flagella supports a link to the Chromista. Fungal flagella are of the whiplash type while the flagella of the Chromista are the same as those of oomycetes. The video below shows zoospores being released from a Saprolegnia zoosporangium and then swimming away. Their thin flagella can't be seen, however.
Sexual Reproduction in Saprolegnia
Oogonium
Saprolegnia also reproduces sexually. The female organ is called an oogonium. It's item F in the photo above and is shown in an enlarged form in the photo below. The oogonium produces large oospheres or eggs. These are said to be haploid (n) because their nucleus has half the number of chromosomes present in the nuclei of the hyphae. The hyphal nuclei have double the number of chromosomes found in the oospheres—or a double set—and are said to be diploid (2n). The situation is somewhat similar to a woman's eggs (haploid) having half the number of chromosomes as her body cells (diploid).
Antheridium
The male organ is known as the antheridium. It's smaller than the oogonium. The antheridium of some organisms contains sperm cells, each containing a haploid nucleus. In Saprolegnia, the haploid nuclei are present in the antheridium, but sperm cells aren't made.
The stalk bearing the antheridium grows, causing the antheridium to come into contact with the side of the oogonium. The antheridium then creates a short tube that pierces the oogonium. A male nucleus travels along the tube and fuses with the female nucleus in an oosphere. The resulting diploid structure is known as an oospore or a zygote (item A in the illustration above). The oospore is released into the environment and produces a new Saprolegnia.
An oogonium containing oospheres
Items A and B in the photo above are immature oogonia of Saprolegnia. Item C is a mature oogonium and item D is an oosphere or egg.
Saprolegniasis in Fish
Saprolegnia can cause disease in freshwater fish and their eggs. It can also infect amphibians and their eggs as well as crustaceans. Saprolegnia parasitica is the chief species that affects fish. It causes an infection known as saprolegniasis.
Saprolegniasis can be a problem in some fish farms. Wild and aquarium fish may also be infected by a species of Saprolegnia. Chemical treatments for the disease exist. These may be helpful, but this isn't always the case.
The parasite starts by infecting the outer layer of a fish. A mass of fine white threads may appear on the scales of the body and the fins. The mass may resemble cotton wool. The hyphae of the parasite may extend into the gills or muscles of the animal and also enter its blood vessels, which can cause serious effects.
Cysts are produced in some stages of the reproductive cycle of oomycetes. A cyst is a thick-walled and dormant structure that protects its internal contents from harmful environmental conditions. Researchers have found that a primary cyst in Saprolegnia parasitica has hook-like projections on its surface. These may help it to attach to fish that are passing by.
Saprolegniasis in pet fish may be treatable, but the most frequent treatment is potentially dangerous. A veterinarian should be consulted if fish are sick and the instructions on a medication container should be followed carefully.
Phytophthora: The Plant Destroyer
The various species of Phytophthora can cause serious problems for plant growers. They can infect many different kinds of plants. Economic losses caused by the genus may be severe. The name "Phytophthora" is derived from two Greek words: phyto, meaning plant, and phthora, meaning destroyer.
As in Saprolegnia, the body of Phytophthora consists of branching hyphae. The hyphae have similar features to those of Saprolegnia and obtain nutrients in the same way. The life cycle of Phytophthora resembles that of Saprolegnia but has some slightly different features.

The hyphae of oomycetes have diploid nuclei while the hyphae of fungi contain haploid nuclei. This is yet another significant difference between oomycetes and fungi.
Reproduction in Phytophthora infestans
Like Saprolegnia, Phytophthora reproduces asexually by producing a zoosporangium containing zoospores. Also like Saprolegnia, the zoospores have a whiplash flagellum and a tinsel one. The zoosporangium or its precursor may produce a new organism directly instead of producing zoospores that do this job, however, as shown in the illustration above. In this case, the sporangium may be called a conidium.
An immature Phytophthora oogonium contains multiple nuclei, but at maturity only one oosphere containing a single nucleus is present. Similarly, an immature antheridium contains multiple nuclei, but by the time it reaches maturity it has only one nucleus. During sexual reproduction, an oogonium grows into and through an antheridium, enabling the female nucleus and the male nucleus to meet.
Another difference between sexual reproduction in Saprolegnia and Phytophthora exists. In order for sexual reproduction to occur in Phytophthora infestans, two mating types must meet. These are known as A1 and A2 organisms.
Late Blight in Potatoes
Phytophthora infestans causes the disease known as late blight or potato blight. The organism infects the stems and leaves of the potato plant, producing dark lesions. White threads may be seen on the undersurface of the leaves. The infection may kill the plant.
The pathogen sometimes reaches the tubers of the potato plant, which are the part that we eat. The inside of the potatoes turns brown. The brown colour appears on the outer layer of a potato first and gradually moves inward, making the tuber inedible. The pathogen can spread through the potato even after it's gathered from the field. An additional problem is that the pathogen makes the potato plant susceptible to infection by other organisms. These may cause further damage to the tubers while they are in the field or while they are in storage.
Late blight was given its name because it appeared later in the year than early blight. Early blight is caused by a fungus and can also destroy potatoes. Despite their names, early and late blight may occur at the same time of year.
In one week during the summer of 1846, this disease wiped out almost the entire potato crop of Ireland, a crop which was the primary food of the poor at that time. Nearly a million Irish died in the Great Famine.

The Devastating Irish Potato Famine
Phytophthora infestans can be a serious problem for both potato and tomato plants today. Nevertheless, it no longer produces devastation resembling that of the Irish potato famine of the mid nineteenth century. The huge number of deaths (around a million) and the massive emigration (around one-and-a-half-million people) that occurred as a result of the famine affected both Ireland and the world.
As a result of studying herbarium specimens that were collected in the past, researchers have discovered that the famine was caused by a strain of Phytophthora infestans that (apparently) no longer exists. New strains appear to have arisen as new varieties of potatoes appeared and the famine strain seems to have disappeared at around the same time.
Researchers who have examined the genome of the famine strain say that it doesn't appear to be inherently more virulent than today's strains. They suspect that the two major conditions that caused the famine were the great importance of potatoes in the diet at the time and the fact that the potatoes grown then were very similar genetically. This low genetic diversity meant that the existence of a potato with genetic resistance to the pathogen was unlikely.
Important and Interesting Pathogens
Today Saprolegnia and Phytophthora are significant pathogens that can produce major effects in the environment. They are interesting organisms, despite the harm that they can cause. I think that studying them is a worthy pursuit. Preventing or treating fish disease and enabling crops to survive are important goals. Exploring the nature and behaviour of oomycetes may help scientists to understand the living world better and might be beneficial for us in multiple ways.

Question: We found some mold growing in our shallow well–which we checked because of the intestinal illness I have. Does it cause human illness?
Answer: Unlike the case for true molds, I haven't read that water molds can make us sick (though this doesn't mean they can't), with one major exception. Pythium insidiosum can infect humans and even cause a fatal illness. It's often found in tropical countries but has been found in parts of the United States and some other countries. It's possible that other species of water molds can make us sick as well. You should consult your local public health department or your doctor to find out whether the specific species of water mold in your well is safe, especially since you have an intestinal illness.

Hi, Adrienne. I appreciate your comment. It's certainly a scary thought that the local potato crop was affected so badly. It must have been a terrible time for the people who relied on potatoes for nourishment.
Adrienne Farricelli on May 05, 2018:
So scary that potatoes were almost on the brink of extinction and that so many people perished because of that. This article was very interesting and I learned a lot of new things I wasn't aware of before.
Thanks, Devika. I agree about the smell. It's certainly not a good thought!
DDE on May 05, 2018:
Unique and well-informed. I learned something new here again. I can imagine a rotten potato odor not a good thought there.
Hi, Jackie. Yes, the ocean environment badly needs our help. The problems are depressing. I hope we can and do improve the situation.
Jackie Lynnley from the beautiful south on May 01, 2018:
I have sworn off farmed fish for awhile now. Yet seeing all the trash in the sea doesn't make me feel too good about any of it.
Maybe these new bucket containers that float in the water and collect all the waste will inspire an improved and larger version for helping to clean up our waters. Of course complete lack of filth added to our oceans and seas may be the only cure and with factories, oil spills, and careless people with no concerns for the environment growing so rapidly, I am not sure we have much hope for improvement.
That's an interesting thought, Heidi! I hope you have a very pleasant evening.
Heidi Thorne from Chicago Area on May 01, 2018:
Ah, so that's the whole potato blight issue!
When I see or hear about creatures (?) like these, they seem so otherworldly. I wonder, when we eventually do find life on other planets, if these types of organisms are what we'll find.
Educated once again! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. Have a wonderful day!
It's interesting to hear that potato blight likely affected your family, Bede. Thank you for the comment.
Bede from Minnesota on May 01, 2018:
Linda, I hadn't known the cause of the potato famine in Ireland. It's likely the reason for my ancestors to immigrate to Canada in the 19th century. Let's hope that scientists find something beneficial in the oomycetes. An interesting study.
Hi, Mary. Yes, because living things have so many features in common with respect to their biology, studying some of them may help us to understand others. Thanks for the visit.
Mary Norton from Ontario, Canada on May 01, 2018:
Linda, another interesting article on something I really don't know about. You are right further study on these might bring more benefits. You have engaged me i this now as we try to eat more fish.
Hi, Peggy. I imagine that the people did eat the rotten potatoes when they could, but this wouldn't have been possible in all cases. Blighted plants are often infected by secondary organisms that cause soft rot of the tubers. These organisms turn blighted potatoes into a dark, liquid mush that would be very hard to eat.
Peggy Woods from Houston, Texas on May 01, 2018:
This was a fascinating article as usual. I always look forward to learning something new from you. I noticed in the comments that supposedly humans are not affected by Saprolegnia if ingested by eating fish. What about the potatoes? I would imagine that during the potato famine if the tubers were infected with Phytophthora infestans starving people would have eaten them anyway.
Linda Crampton (author) from British Columbia, Canada on April 30, 2018:
Thanks for the visit, Manatita. Water molds are interesting organisms to investigate.
manatita44 from london on April 30, 2018:
These algae and fungi research are very deep. I did not do so much at school. Fascinating to see the sexual reproduction and to know of the effects they have on fish and potatoes.
Hi, Flourish. Connections in science are often very interesting!
FlourishAnyway from USA on April 30, 2018:
Who knew there was a connection between modern losses on salmon farms and the Irish Potato Famine that instigated not only massive human death and suffering but a huge migration pattern?
That's a good point, Larry! Thanks for the visit.
Larry Rankin from Oklahoma on April 30, 2018:
Sometimes it's the smallest things in the world the world that cause the biggest impact.
Hi, Mary. Experts say that Saprolegnia doesn't infect humans. They also say that it's best to cook fish to destroy a range of parasites. I haven't yet found any information about whether chemicals made by the mold can hurt us.
I doubt whether we'd notice the mold after the cooking and canning process has finished. I hope a fish processor wouldn't use a fish heavily infested by Saprolegnia, though. Thanks for the comment and the interesting questions.
Mary Wickison from Brazil on April 30, 2018:
Although when affecting potatoes and tomatoes we would see a disease and it would never make it to market or in our own gardens we would discard it.
However, if this was processed into canned salmon, would we notice it? Would it be harmful to us?
Another fascinating article.
Hi, Bill. Thank you so much for the visit and the comment.
Bill Holland from Olympia, WA on April 30, 2018:
Another great biology lesson. I learn every single time from you, Linda!
Thank you very much for the comment, Peg. I appreciate your kindness.
Peg Cole from North Dallas, Texas on April 30, 2018:
I was always curious about the Irish potato famine and its causes. You've made the information interesting, educational and understandable. I wish you had been my biology teacher in high school and that I had paid more attention in class. Fascinating stuff.

An Arapahoe County judge on Monday sentenced a former Aurora Public Schools music teacher to serve 90 days in jail after he pleaded guilty to sexually abusing a student.
Zachary Timbrell
Zachary Timbrell agreed to a plea deal last month, admitting to charges of sexual exploitation of a minor and attempted sexual assault.
Timbrell worked as a music teacher at Vista Peak Preparatory until June 2016 when he resigned after the allegations regarding the student came to light. He was charged in December.

Moreland Theatre - 2/6 Robert Morton
6712 SE Milwaukie Ave.
Back to the Oregon Original Theatre Installations page
Moreland, c. 1999 The Moreland Theatre originally had a 2/6 Robert Morton installed in 1925.
The instrument was later moved to the Congregational Church in Salem, Oregon minus all percussions.
The organ was eventually sold to a hobbist in Eugene. Upon his death, the widow sold it to Bert Braecher of Golden Colorado. Ed Maas and Bob Rickett helped to remove the organ and pack it for shipment to Colorado.
As of 1999, the Moreland still exists as a first-run movie house.

From the Oregon Historical Society web site:
The 675-seat Moreland Theatre opened in 1926. Retaining its original name, it has operated as a theater ever since. Like many other neighborhood theaters built in the 1920s, the Moreland initially presented vaudeville acts along with silent pictures. In the 1930s it abandoned stage shows in favor of talking pictures. The Moreland Theatre changed with the times, updating equipment and keeping pace with new technology while retaining its single auditorium and distinctive neighborhood appeal.


Anna Lane applied to take part in LEAP after her mum read about it in the local paper! Anna and her business partner Nicola had 14 years' experience working as therapists but had never run their own business.
Working as therapists for the past 14 years, Anna and Nicola developed their love of massage into practical knowledge and their combined efforts have led them to organise, manage and create running spas at festivals. Olive Branch Mobile Spa bring a ready-made spa to any location, whether that be hotels, festivals, hen parties, corporate days or local residences transforming any space into a world of relaxation, joy and peace bringing any individual to a point of tranquillity.
As a result of taking part in LEAP Anna and Nicola were able to buy their first tent – as opposed to hiring – the spectacular "Sky Gazer" which offers a view of the sky as clients receive their treatment. Olive Branch Mobile Spa latest event was at a Christmas Fair at Ightham Mote, a medieval moated manor house in Kent. The tents were set up in the grounds and offered clients the opportunity to be pampered in heated tents with views into the stunning grounds.
Anna and Nicola have also received nominations for other awards, including the innovation award at the Sussex Women of Excellence Awards and was interviewed on BBC Sussex about her business.

Israeli Ground War Ramps Up Worldwide
Israeli Ground War Ramps Up;
Worldwide Rallies
; Iraqi Vice President Slams Israel
There were widespread protests in the Muslim world on Monday against the Qana massacre. 120 Egyptian MPs marched to demand the recall of the US ambassador. There was also a demonstration in Shiite Sadr City, east Baghdad, and bigger demonstrations in Pakistan. Don't let the numbers fool you. Middle Eastern governments are carefully limiting the size of the demonstrations, otherwise there would be a sea of people in the streets. The demonstrations that are allowed are for blowing off steam. There were also demonstrations in Paris and Brussels, with 3,000 to 5,000 attending.
Iraqi Vice President Adil Abdul Mahdi of the Supreme Council for Islamic Revolution in Iraq vehemently denounced Israel on Monday for its war on Lebanon and especially for the Qana massacre. AP quotes him:
' "What happened in Qana is a repetition to these crimes that happened to our nation decades ago. It's time for this nation to stand up and stop this aggression and all forms of aggression that could affect any of its parts," Abdul-Mahdi said. "These horrible massacres carried out by the Israeli aggression, incites in us the spirit of brotherhood and solidarity," he said in a speech attended by Iraq's president, the prime minister and other top government officials. '
Iraqi politicians are speaking out on Lebanon in part out of sympathy with Lebanese Shiites and in part because things are not going well in Iraq, with another 19 dead on Monday and 29 persons kidnapped in broad daylight.
Back in the Levant, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and his cabinet have decided to defy calls for an immediate ceasefire in their war on Lebanon. Instead, they will widen the ground war.
Some analysts believe that Hizbullah leader Hasan Nasrallah wanted to draw the Israelis deeper into Lebanon, where his guerrilla fighters would have an advantage, since they know this rough terrain and have had years to booby trap it. It looks as though Nasrallah may get his wish.
Bush continues to block a ceasefire.
An Israeli minister (same link) admitted that if the war stopped now, Hizbullah would have won it. After Israel completely destroyed Lebanon's capacity to function as a normal society, knocking out ports, airport, roads, bridges, telecom towers, etc., etc., and after intensive bombing of the south and an incursion into Bint Jbeil, after all this, Hizbullah has won as of Monday, from the Israeli point of view.
I guess an Israeli victory wouldn't leave much in the country standing, if that is what their defeat looks like.
Meanwhile, the French continued to work on a ceasefire motion, with the foreign minister visiting Beirut. The Lebanese government declined to see US secretary of state Condi Rice on Sunday in the wake of the Qana massacre.
Senator Chuck Hagel, a Republican from Nebraska, broke with Bush on Monday and called for an immediate ceasefire. He intimated that Bush was jeopardizing the US relationship with friendly Muslim governments by trying to out-Likud the Likud (my phrase). He also called for the US to talk to Syria and Iran. He goes on like that and I'd say he'd be a pretty good president on foreign policy issues. But I'd also say it is highly unlikely that a Republican can win the presidency in 08. Bush is poisoning the well too effectively.
A Lebanese man from the south who lost his wife and young son to an Israeli bombing raid wants to know if they were terrorists.
Robert Fisk's account of the scene at Qana is poignant.
President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt lashed out at the UN Security Council for not already having decreed a cease-fire, and warned that the "peace process" could collapse if something isn't done soon.
Uh, Hosni, I think that particular cow is out of the barn.

Q: Error 500 in Symfony when trying to configure FOSFacebookBundle So basically, I'm trying to implement FOSFacebookBundle with FOSUserBundle in Symfony. I followed the readme for the 2.0 branch of FOSFacebookBundle but right now I'm stuck with this error. Any idea ?
The error :

        }

        return $user;
    }
}

A: The FacebookProvider (FOS\FacebookBundle\Security\Authentication\Provider\FacebookProvider) implements AuthenticationProviderInterface and not UserProviderInterface. It is not a User provider but an Authentication provider, and fos_facebook needs a User provider.
So you should define a custom User provider : it's explained here (Installation step 6. and in "Example Custom User Provider using the FOS\UserBundle")
1) security.yml
Add this :
# application/config/config.yml
security:
    providers:
        ...
        # choose the provider name freely
        my_fos_facebook_provider:
            id: my.facebook.user
        ...
firewalls:
    main:
        pattern:      .*
        fos_facebook:
            ...
            provider: my_fos_facebook_provider
            ...

2) config.yml
Add this :
services:
    my.facebook.user:
        class: Acme\MyBundle\Security\User\Provider\FacebookProvider
        arguments:
            facebook: "@fos_facebook.api"
            userManager: "@fos_user.user_manager"
            validator: "@validator"
            container: "@service_container"

3) FacebookProvider.php
Create a file FacebookProvider.php in Acme/MyBundle/Security/User/Provider/
Code at the end of Readme.md
4) User.php
Edit your User entity by adding some FB-related fields (Id, first name, last name, etc.)
Code at the end of Readme.md


Man, they needed this one.
The Columbus Blue Jackets began their game against the Vancouver Canucks four points out of a playoff spot with two games in hand. It wouldn't be dramatic to say that if they lost this one, they would be in full on panic mode.
They began the first period looking nervous and tentative like they had in prior games. Until Josh Anderson scored, it looked like it may be the same performance that they have seen in prior games. Luckily, Anderson had other plans and led Columbus to a significant period.
The second period was more kind to the Blue Jackets as Pierre-Luc Dubois and Ryan Dzingel found the net. It looked like traditional Blue Jacket hockey as they took the time and space given to them. Not much was needed; they were just in the right place at the right time.
The third period saw an Oliver Bjorkstrand goal and another goal from Josh Anderson. It was more of the same, and the game turned into a thrashing. They dominated every aspect of the game again.
It didn't take an A+ effort from the Blue Jackets to win tonight. They could've dialed down the intensity, but this game was everything Columbus needed. It cleanses the palate and allows them to come home with momentum. They get to face a divisional foe and the team they're competing against for a spot in the playoffs in their next two games.
Ryan Murray is still out with an undisclosed upper-body injury. Scott Harrington is day-to-day after taking a maintenance game. Nick Foligno is still out dealing with a personal matter.
The Blue Jackets will next play on Tuesday, March 26 against the New York Islanders at Nationwide Arena at 7:00 pm.
