"Responsive, Good to their Clients"
This company has employees that really care about their consultants. They pay great, communicate and are very supportive of us in the field. I've also observed that NextGen has a great reputation at its client sites. They don't make a bad name for themselves by "just placing people," and this pays off. Loving it so far.
Insurance *can* be expensive but that's been true many places. NextGen offsets this with a great pay rate. I don't know that there's a "culture," but frankly, being tasked with participating in a big culture while working at a client site would be hard. I think NextGen focuses on its core business and that is great for me.
Some client accounts give no opportunity to make any commission. No career advancement.
Provide opportunities for advancement and provide complete honesty on how much employees can expect from commissions.
They work well trying to find the right fit. They do research and find answers to questions regarding opening listed on their website. Very responsive to inquires.
Once you're placed, there is minimal contact with NextGen. Not necessarily a con for all, but may be for some.
Thank you for your review! We appreciate your recommendation and are glad you took the time to write us this review. We value your feedback and thank you for letting us know how we are doing.
There is a good company culture. Great team. Good work life balance.
Great pay. Benefits are high quality but very expensive.
There isn't a lot of interaction with the company once you are with a client.
Take the time to continue to know your employees. I've asked several times to meet with NextGen staff and it never happens.
I liked the few people who were in my office location.
Our office location in Hoffman Estates was closed. Management expected unrealistic results from all employees, whether office assistance or recruiters. They were never happy.
Thank you for taking the time to share, we value all feedback both positive and negative. We use this information as part of our business review process to help strengthen our organization. As such, this office was close a few years ago based on changes to the business climate.
Outside of management, NextGen has some very dedicated, hard working people.
Management is given free reign to treat employees however they like. They harrass, swear at and belittle employees on a regular basis in front of their peers and other managers. As the company has continued to suffer due to poor product and awful support, they've started to look at ways to cut back and have been taking away benefits and no longer giving employees annual increases to make the bottom line look better.

Knowing and living out the relationship between you, God, mind, and the universe is the very key to maximizing the potential in and out of your life. Every possibility of what can be done in and with your life lies in an awareness of the relationship and synthesis between you, God, mind, and the universe. In actuality, the synthesis already exists. It is a matter of having a conscious mind level of awareness that it exists, and placing yourself as a total unit of body, mind, and soul under the influence of the synthesis. Being aware of and living the synthesis is enlightenment at its zenith of practical application for life improvement.
Enlightenment is actually its own reward when one becomes aware of the profound cosmic mysteries of life as they relate to human life. Enlightenment can also produce tangible practical results in human life, greatly affecting health, relationships, career, income, and material needs, as well as other major concerns. It can have the greatest influence on having a positive self-image and self-esteem. If you can have an awareness of the relationship between you, God, mind, and the universe, and comprehend that there exists a cosmic oneness between all, then your comprehension of who and what you really are is magnified to cosmic proportions.
Every day of your life, you live in a world of energy. Whatever seems solid is, in actuality, a vibrating field of energy. From human beings and other life forms to even inanimate objects such as rocks, all are really a vibrating field of energy, including the very earth upon which we stand.
The human mind itself is not the brain, but a field of energy that utilizes the energy factors of the brain cells through which it functions. Ultimately, life is an interaction of energy fields, one upon another. Emotions and feelings are also energies. The energies of the body and mind are interactive with each other, hence, the enormous influence of the mind upon the condition or health of the body. In fact, all of life is interacting. A cosmic energy domino effect exists that affects the whole of the universe.

China's Linglong starts building €800mn rubber factory in north Serbia's largest ever investment
By bne IntelliNews April 1, 2019
Chinese company Shandong Linglong has started the construction of a €800mn rubber plant in Serbia's northern town of Zrenjanin, the Serbian government said.
Shandong Linglong Rubber Co.,Ltd. announced in August 2018 plans to officially start the construction of the factory, which will take place in three phases, with the final phase being completed in March 2025, according to the statement.
Serbia aims to become China's top partner in Southeast Europe and attract Chinese investors to various fields. Alongside multiple infrastructure projects, China is present in Serbia's steel industry as the owner of the country's only steel mill Zelezara Smederevo, which was taken over by Hebei Iron and Steel Group (HBIS) in July 2016.
Shandong Linglong's factory, which will be the largest single investment in northern Serbia up to date, will produce 13mn tyres per year.
The town of Zrenjanin has provided 136 hectares of land for the construction of a plant where 1,500 workers will be employed.

This is essentially a more restrictive version of my PHP in Templates plugin. The restrictions aim to make this a "safe" plugin to use, that is, doesn't allow arbitrary PHP execution, but still gives the benefits of template conditionals.
v1.0-1.3 of this plugin is based off v1.7 of PHP in Templates.
As of v1.8, PHP 5.3 or later is required.
This plugin can be used with the Admin Security plugin.
This plugin implements "safe expression" checking; essentially, this does impose a bit of a performance hit, but, on the other hand, tries to ensure no "bad PHP" gets executed.
For more information on what I consider to be a "safe expression", see my blog post here.
Simple 2 words: Thank you.
Updated to v1.7 - fixes a possible function call exploit.
How would I get the following to work?
Ah, thanks. Just had to drop those curly brackets.
Is this plugin doesn't slow down the board?
Define "slow down the board".

It depends on what you mean by "a lot of work" (PHP script execution time? additional CPU cycles? memory usage?), as well as what you mean by "used many times" (ten instances? a hundred instances? what templates? what code?).
Pretty much all plugins will have a negative effect on site performance. It's up to you whether you think the trade off is worth it.


Nelson Mandela's Houghton home stands about seven miles away from our house.
In almost eight years of living in Johannesburg, South Africa, our family has never had an occasion or reason to search out the location of this famous home; until today.
December 8, 2013 has been declared a national day of prayer and remembrance in honor of Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela in South Africa. Churches, synagogues, temples, mosques, and other sites have dedicated the day to honoring this man of reconciliation and praying for his legacy to continue in his homeland, nation and world.
Our family rose early this morning to make our way to the corner 4th and 12th streets in Houghton where Nelson Mandela spent his final days. Memorial sights have been designated across the country. However, many people are choosing to pay their respects outside the former President's Houghton home.
Our family arrived at 6:45 a.m. We chose to go early because we wanted our children to be able to see the memorial without too big of a crowd. Among us were dozens and dozens of joggers who had chosen to do a memorial run to Mandela's home this morning. In addition, there were bicyclists who pedaled their way to the gathering place. Families with young children still in their pajamas were there. Employers stood side by side their domestic workers whom they had brought to view the colorful scene of flowers, notes, candles and artwork of remembrance. There was a strong police presence along with local and international news teams.
The old, the young, and the middle-aged stood together regardless of their skin color. Some people even brought their dogs. The memorial grew significantly in the short time we were there. There is no doubt that it will grow exponentially as more people make their way to the corner of 4th and 12th.
There was no singing or dancing at this early hour. Instead, the mood was somber and quiet. Many took photos. However, the prevailing spirit of the place was a silent recognition of the sacrifice and service this man had made for the betterment of his country and the world.
There have been words of opposition written and said in the past few days. There was none of that here. Not this day. Not at this time.
Instead, this was a time to bless the memory of a man of humble beginnings who recognized the great worth of every human being and gave his life at great personal cost to bring reconciliation and hope to his nation.
South Africa will celebrate 20 years of democracy in 2014. There have been great triumphs and yes, there have been continued setbacks and significant struggles. For the first time since this democracy began, it goes forward without its first leader, Nelson Mandela. As we commemorate this man, we pray for his legacy to remain in the hearts of those who lived during his lifespan. We pray his example of joy, humility and service are ignited in the hearts of South Africa's children who will follow.
As for our children, Micah, Jake and Caleb, we pray that being in South Africa at such a time when the entire nation stopped to honor one man, and where every single nation of the world, turned to recognize this man as well, will remember what an amazing time it was to be here. Amazing. We pray they are inspired to live their lives in service and care of others following the example of Nelson Mandela and their Savior, Jesus Christ..
I am too, Caleb. I am too.
For those of you who support our family in ministry, thank you for making such an incredible, once-in-a-lifetime experience possible for us. This is not lost upon us and we share this day with you.
Love! Glad you could go – it looks incredible.
Thanks, Janell! This is one of those times that will never happen again in our lifetime. It's been an amazing time to be in South Africa. Love you and miss you!
Previous Will we? Wait for it?

Hey, Hey, Hey...
Monique Pressley, an attorney for Bill Cosby, spoke with HuffPost Live on Friday, and had several comments that leaped out. In fairness to Ms. Pressley, it must be difficult for anyone, especially a woman, to have to defend Bill Cosby and say things without feeling you're losing your soul. That's about as far as "in fairness," though as I can get. In the end, any attorney makes the choice to defend a client -- who's of course entitled to a defense -- while getting paid handsomely for it.
The first quote that leaped out was --
"I'm not speculating, I'm not thinking, I'm not opining, I'm not waxing poetic, but what I'm saying is women have responsibility. We have responsibility for our bodies, we have responsibility for our decisions, we have responsibility for the way we conduct ourselves".
I have to say that I do agree with Ms. Pressley here. She's not thinking. And it's pretty clear she's not waxing poetic either. Though what "waxing poetic" has to do with this, I'm not quite sure. It's all pretty ugly, as far from waxing poetic as one can get.
Later in the interview, one other thing she says that she's not doing, too, is victim-blaming. I'll jump in here and add even one more thing she's not doing -- giving any credit to the public for recognizing disingenuous hogwash. Because of course she's victim-blaming. Because otherwise, as the lawyer for Bill Cosby, what on earth is she doing? Giving a general philosophic on Women's Health Care 101?
Do women have a responsibility for their own bodies? For how they conduct themselves? You bet. So does everyone. Including men who slip drugs into women's drinks in order to abuse them against their will. But no matter how much responsibility you have for your body, if someone clocks you from behind, you're going to collapse in a heap of unconscious, regardless how nobly you conduct yourself.
Attorney Pressley also said --
The only way for a woman to get the justice that she seeks -- and that, if her allegation is true, that she deserves -- is to come forward [soon after the crime]. And even if the reasons that the women did not do that are legitimate ones, what cannot happen -- in my opinion, in the United States -- is that 40 years later there is a persecution tantamount to a witch hunt where there was no prosecution timely and there was no civil suit timely. And there's not any testimony or any accusation from any of these women that Mr. Cosby in any way bound them, gagged them, prevented them from coming forward and saying whatever their truth was at the time. That's not what happened.
It's uncertain if Ms. Pressley was thinking here either. Or opining or speculating. (Though she again doesn't appear to be waxing poetic.) Victim-blaming does seem to be on the table.
It's one thing, of course, to say that if people report a crime after the statute of limitations then the accused cannot be convicted of the crime. That's entirely different -- of course -- from the act never happening.
It's true that what is going on may well be tantamount to a witch hunt. What Ms. Pressley is overlooking, though, is that unlike Salem in 1692, there appears to be an actual witch. (Okay, an actual warlock, sorry, but the semantics just worked out that way.) Further, conducting "witch hunts" tend to suggest random searching for evidence based on nothing more than supposition or guessing. Here, though, we have actual people claiming to be actual victims with specific details. We also have Bill Cosby's own testimony now -- having been kept secret for years -- that gives credence to at least some of the charges.
One thing, however, that Monique Pressley might want to consider the next time she gets before a microphone, or before another human being with ears, is to not use the words, "bound them, gagged them," when trying to get across the point that her client didn't prevent any of the alleged victims from coming forward at the time. It just sort of sets up the wrong image about victims being bound or gagged for any other purpose.
Never mind that pretty much most people who are sentient creatures understand the many reasons a woman might not want to come forward to say she'd been sexually assaulted (the polite term) by anyone, but most especially one of the Most Beloved and Popular American Entertainers who sold Jello Pudding to kiddies and created a beloved, cherubic cartoon character and came into our living rooms every week for years as an invited guest for his warmth, kindness and all-knowing paternal wisdom, with a doctorate in education, no less.
Gee, who wouldn't want to make that accusation? And face disbelief and public scorn, shame and humiliation, being stigmatized? Just look at how they were disbelieved decades later, by Bill Cosby's fans and supporters -- and his lawyer Monique Pressley -- even with mounting support in numbers.
No, they they weren't physically restrained from coming forward at the time. As Ms. Pressley says, that's not what happened. What happened -- they say -- is that they were drugged and sexually assaulted.
I know that there's attorney-client privilege, but I'd just love to know if Monique Pressley was ever alone in a room with Bill Cosby, and how she reacted, even just for just the slightest instant, if he ever offered to make her a drink. To wind down at the end of the day. So she could relax.
I know she's proud about not thinking. But that would have been a good place to start doing otherwise.

Raymond Feraud, ou Raymond Féraud, en occitan, Raimon Feraut, est un troubadour niçois, né à Ilonse vers 1245, et mort vers 1324.

Biographie
Il est né à Ilonse qui dépendait de la seigneurie de Beuil avant de passer  à la fin du , par mariage et par force, dans la maison de Thorame et devint l'apanage de la branche cadette. La branche aînée n'ayant plus qu'une seule héritière passa par mariage dans la maison de Glandevez qui a hérité des biens des Thorame. Ilonse a été le fief des Feraud de Thorame.

Ilonse, de la maison de Thorame-Glandevez à la maison de Grimaldi de Bueil
Au commencement du , Guillaume Feraud II de Thorame a eu deux fils entre lesquels il a partagé ses biens avant d'entrer comme moine à l'abbaye Saint-Victor de Marseille. L'aîné n'a eu qu'une fille, mariée en 1235 avec Anselme de Glandevez auquel elle a apporté la majorité des biens de la maison de Thorame. Le cadet, Guillaume Feraud III de Thorame, s'est marié avec une fille de la maison d'Agoult, et probablement de maison de Mévouillon, a eu trois fils, Feraud de Thorame, le troubadour Raymond Feraud des seigneurs d'Ilonse, Guillaume Feraud IV des seigneurs d'Ilonse, et deux filles. Ses deux sœurs se sont mariées, l'une, Béatrix, avec Guillaume Rostaing de Beuil, l'autre avec Laugier Rostaing de Roquesteron. C'est en 1315 qui les habitants de Beuil se sont révoltés contre Guillaume Rostaing et ont tué toute la famille, sauf une fille, Astruge, qui a dû se marier avec Andaron Grimaldi qui était probablement à l'origine de cette révolte, créant la famille des Grimaldi de Bueil. Feraud de Thorame, seigneur d'Ilonse, a eu un fils, Gilbert Feraud de Thorame, marié en 1309 à la veuve de Raimbaud de Mévouillon, est mort à Naples sans descendance. Guillaume Feraud IV d'Ilonse a dû mourir peu après 1321 sans postérité et a laissé ses biens à Isnard de Glandevez  (vers 1270-après 1343), dit le Vieux, probablement son beau-frère. Ce dernier se rend à Ilonse en 1332 pour recevoir l'hommage des habitants. Mais, en 1337, Andaron Grimaldi étant mort, sa veuve, Astruge, voulut rentrer en possession du fief d'Ilonse en rachetant les droits à Isnard de Glandevez et à son fils, Guillaume Feraud dit le Vieux. Cela a entraîné une protestation des habitants d'Ilonse qui ont refusé se rattachement à la maison de Grimaldi de Bueil. C'est en 1344 qu'Hugues des Baux (1311- 1351),  d'Avellino, sénéchal de Provence, reconnut les droits d'Astruge sur le fief d'Ilonse, cependant les habitants d'Ilonse ont continué à protester contre ce rattachement.

Raymond Féraud à la cour des comtes de Provence
L'aîné, Feraud de Thorame, a hérité du fief d'Ilonse. Les cadets, Guillaume Feraud IV et Raymond Feraud, ont été attachés à la cour des comtes de Provence.

Il a vécu dans la cour de Charles d'Anjou, frère de Louis IX, comte de Provence après son mariage avec Béatrice de Provence, puis de Charles II et a été attaché à la maison de Marie de Hongrie. Il a probablement suivi Charles  d'Anjou dans sa conquête du royaume de Sicile, en 1265, avant que les Vêpres siciliennes ne le réduise au seul royaume de Naples.

César de Nostredame indique dans les récits de Histoire de Provence qu'Alayette de Mévouillon, dame de Curban, était une des présidentes de la Cour d'amour du château de Romanin. Alayette de Mévouillon devait être une parente de Raymond Feraud. Elle s'est retirée à la fin de sa vie au monastère Sainte-Claire de Sisteron, probablement au temps où un frère était retenu comme otage en Aragon (1288-1290). Son frère, Raymond de Mévouillon, a été évêque de Gap avant d'être nommé archevêque d'Embrun.

C'est probablement grâce à Alayrette de Mévouillon que Raymond Feraud est entré dans le cercle des troubadours provençaux.

Il a écrit qu'il avait composé un planh sur la mort de Charles  d'Anjou, à l'occasion de son décès, aujourd'hui perdu.

Raymond Féraud, moine de l'abbaye de Lérins
Après avoir passé plusieurs années à la cour de Charles II d'Anjou, il s'est retiré au monastère de l'île Saint-Honorat, probablement après qu'Alayrette de Mévouillon se soit retirée dans le monastère de Sisteron. Il y a écrit en langue provençale les Vies de saint Hermentaire et de saint Honorat. Si la Vie de saint Hermentaire est perdue, celle de saint Honorat nous est parvenue grâce à une copie du .

Il est nommé prieur à Roquesteron vers 1295.

Il termine la rédaction de la vie de saint Honorat dans sa maison de Roquesteron : "En l'an de Dieu 1300, le prieur acheva son roman, en l'honneur de Dieu et des saints, en sa maison de la Rocca, prieur au val de l'Esteron, et à l'Olive près d'ici" (lire en ligne).

Clovis Brunel lui a attribué un comput en vers provençaux.

Q: In recursion theory, is $\Sigma_{i=0}^y f(x,i,z)$ primitive recursive? It is known that given ternary primitive recursive function $f$, the function $g$ defined as
$g(x,y,z)=\Sigma_{i=0}^z f(x,y,i)$ is primitive recursive.
I wonder if this formulation can be modified; i.e., I want to know, given $h_1$ and $h_2$ as
$h_1(x,y,z)=\Sigma^y_{i=0}f(x,i,z)$
$h_2(x,y,z)=\Sigma^x_{i=0}f(i,y,z)$,
whether $h_1$ and $h_2$ are primitive recursive.
I tried with primitive recursion formula, but it didn't work to me.

A: These are all derivable from the same equality — they're all "the same sort of thing", to within permutation of arguments and renaming of variables.
Define $f_1(a,b,c) = f(a,c,b)$. Then
$$\begin{align}
g_1(x,y,z) &= \Sigma_{i=0}^z f_1(x,y,i)\quad\text{is p.r., but this equals} \\
&= \Sigma_{i=0}^z f(x,i, y) \\
&= h_1(x,z,y).
\end{align}$$
So $h_1$ is p.r. Similarly, $h_2$ is p.r.

Starting on medium-low speed, gradually add the egg mixture to the batter in two parts, beating on medium speed for 30 seconds after each addition to incorporate the ingredients and strengthen the structure. Using a silicone spatula, scrape the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the surface evenly with a small offset spatula.
Some people have a problem with the idea of using red food color and use beet juice in its place. In recipes using baking soda, the beet juice would turn brown, but with this highly acidic batter, the crumb will stay red, though not as pretty a red as offered by the food color. The best way to harvest beet juice is to roast the well-washed beets in their skins, leaving an inch of root and stems, in an aluminum foil package at 350º/175ºC for about 45 minutes for medium beets, up to about 1 hour and 15 minutes for large ones. Remove the beets and use the foil to pour the beet juice into a small container. For a distinct chocolate flavor, you can use up to ¼ cup cocoa/0.7 ounce/21 grams, sifted before measuring, but decrease the flour by the same amount. The color will be a much darker red.
Use white chocolate containing cocoa butter, such as Green & Black's with vanilla seeds or Valrhona. The frosting becomes more firm in the refrigerator.
For a whiter frosting without the subtle flavor of the white chocolate, you can replace the white chocolate with 1 cup (lightly spooned into the cup)/4 ounces/115 grams powdered sugar and ¼ teaspoon Rain's Choice vanilla extract.

Republicans Worried About Blue Wave?; Donald Trump Jr. Discusses Possible Jail Time. Aired 4:30-5p ET
Aired September 11, 2018 - 16:30 ET
JAKE TAPPER, CNN ANCHOR: And, Jessica, Donald Trump Jr. following his father's footsteps, following the lead, and bashing the very prosecutors who are investigating him.
JESSICA SCHNEIDER, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Yes, Jake, Donald Trump Jr. quite outspoken in a new interview.
And it really was like father like son, the president's son accusing the special counsel of inventing investigations and saying the probe is designed to take down his father.
SCHNEIDER (voice-over): The president's tweeting about the Russia investigation. His oldest son is talking about it. In a rare interview, Donald Trump Jr. denouncing the special counsel's continued investigation, saying so far it's resulted in charges totally unrelated to the campaign.
DONALD TRUMP JR., SON OF DONALD TRUMP: All for things that happened way before they were ever part of any campaign. So they get Manafort on a 2006 tax charge. You know, again, I understand that they are trying to get my father. And they will do anything they can to get that.
SCHNEIDER: But Trump Jr.'s June 2016 meeting at Trump Tower, where Russians promised him dirt on Hillary Clinton, but didn't deliver, is a focus for Mueller's team. The president has privately expressed concern his son could be in legal jeopardy, according to a source. It's a possibility Trump Jr. brushed off.
QUESTION: Are you scared you could go to jail?
TRUMP: I'm not, because I know what I did and I'm not worried about any of that. That doesn't mean they won't try to create something. I mean, we have seen that happen with everything. But, you know, again, I'm not.
SCHNEIDER: As his son's interview aired, the president took to Twitter to comment on a FOX News report about an unproven and disputed allegation from a Trump ally. "New Strzok-Page texts reveal media leak strategy @FOXNews. So terrible and nothing is being done at DOJ or FBI." Two early unearthed texts revealed by conservative Congressman Mark Meadows in this letter to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein. On April 10, 2017, then FBI agent Peter Strzok texted then FBI attorney Lisa Page, saying: "I want to talk to you about media leak strategy with DOJ before you go."
Congressman Meadows says the texts suggest a coordinated effort on the part of the FBI and DOJ to release information in the public domain potentially harmful to President Donald Trump's administration.
But Strzok's attorney says the texts actually referred to an effort by the two to stop leaks. "The term media leak strategy in Mr. Strzok's texts refers to a department-wide initiative to detect and stop leaks to the media. The president and his enablers are once again peddling unfounded conspiracy theories to mislead the American people."
SCHNEIDER: And this isn't the first time the president or Republican lawmakers have latched on to text messages without any context. And in this case, Congressman Meadows has only released selective texts, Jake, so we really don't have the full picture here -- Jake.
TAPPER: All right, Jessica Schneider, thanks so much.
Let's talk about this.
But before we talk about the Russia probe, I do want to play a little bit of what Donald Trump Jr. told ABC News about this "New York Times" op-ed written by an unnamed senior administration official. Take a listen.
TRUMP: It's pretty disgusting. That's pretty sad.
Perhaps it's a disgruntled person who's been thrown out because they didn't deliver on what they were supposed to do.
QUESTION: What's the crime, though?
TRUMP: Listen, I think you're subverting the will of the people. I mean, to try to control the presidency while not the president, you have millions and millions of Americans who voted for this.
TAPPER: I still don't know what the crime is. Subverting the presidency by trying to thwart the president is not actually a crime. It might be not how the government is supposed to function. And it might be manipulative. But it's not a crime.
JEN PSAKI, CNN POLITICAL COMMENTATOR: No, it's not. I'm not sure that the Trump family has a really strong understanding of legal definitions. So that's not particularly surprising. I think he's echoing a lot of
what his father and what has come out of the White House. And he was a little inexact about it, but it was basically the same tone. Like, we're going to investigate these people, this is illegal. Obviously, he's speaking to the base. We know that.
I don't totally understand half of what he just said, but it doesn't really matter.
TAPPER: Josh, one of the things -- I had Kellyanne Conway on the show on Sunday, and one of the things I said to her was the reason that we have covered this op-ed so much is because the government, the Trump administration has done so much to bring it oxygen and credibility.
It never even crossed my mind that Vice President Pence wrote it until Vice President Pence all of a sudden was out there denying that he had written it. And she seemed to suggest that that wasn't a strategy she supported, that she thought, you know, maybe just saying, of course, I didn't write it was the best strategy, as opposed to these big proclamations.
JOSH HOLMES, REPUBLICAN STRATEGIST: Yes, look, if you're a P.R. professional or a political professional, last thing in the world you want to do is blow something up, particularly that actually could really be a mid-level staffer. We really don't know.
If could be chief of staff, it could be nobody. I mean, we just don't have any idea. So the idea that you sort of pump it up I think is the worst possible strategy. But it's one they have elected to take.
As to the illegality, they have an H.R. problem, not a DOJ problem. Right? This is about hiring and having people -- remember, last week when we discussed this, I said the one thing that we always have on the back end of all these Woodward books is a tightening of the presidential circle. And you get fewer and fewer advisers that are in that tiny little circle.
We saw it happen to President Obama. We saw it happen to President Bush. I think that is probably happening here.
ANGELA RYE, CNN POLITICAL COMMENTATOR: Don't you think it's interesting, though, that the title of this book is "Fear," and you're talking about these major proclamations.
If we really are honest about why folks went out and made these major proclamations, it's because fear truly does govern not just the White House, but the administration. So if you're bound to fear, you're going to do whatever you think you ought to, because you're concerned about retribution.
That is the reality of this presidency. Even Donald Trump Jr. says in this same interview, you know, there is a tightening of this circle, and he doesn't know who to trust.
He should be very concerned, because he's not been loyal to anyone but himself.
TAPPER: Amanda, let's turn to Russia for a second. Donald Trump Jr. infamously wrote to that individual who e-mailed him about dirt on Hillary Clinton and from the Russian government: "If it's what you say, I love it."
Now he says he's not worried about being charged with anything. And it may be that it's not illegal at all. I have no idea what...
AMANDA CARPENTER, CNN POLITICAL COMMENTATOR: Maybe he knows someone who can give him a pardon.
TAPPER: But are you surprised that he's so outspoken, given the fact that we know that he at least expressed a willingness to conspire or collude with Russia?
CARPENTER: Yes. It does defy logic, given the legal vulnerabilities that he has. We have all seen the e-mails. It was very clear what that Trump Tower meeting was going to be about. It was clear that they lied and lied and lied to cover it up, and yet he continues to project this really brazen arrogance, which just seems strange.
I don't even know why he's sitting down for the interview. What was the purpose of that? He didn't move the ball on anything. He didn't endear himself to anybody. He didn't...
TAPPER: Well, maybe except his dad.
CARPENTER: But that's kind of all of it. The president doesn't have anybody, except for his kids out there. And their futures are all tied up in one another.
TAPPER: You heard him say in the interview that he's not afraid of being charged, although, who knows, maybe the special counsel will make something up that's already happened.
That's kind of a shocking thing to say about Robert Mueller.
HOLMES: Yes. Well, it is. But they have a game plan here.
I mean, you would have to be blind, deaf and dumb not to acknowledge it. I mean, we have seen this play out over the last nine months. The president does it, basically, the entire administration, and you see Don Jr. doing it too.
The one thing we also have to acknowledge is that, you know, the audience for something like this is not you and me and the Washington crowd. The audience is the base across the country that thinks that the president is getting a raw deal on the Mueller investigation. And they want Don Jr. to go out and speak to that and provide new
fodder, new ammunition, to get people out and vote. And I think that's what the focus of all of this is.
CARPENTER: Potentially perjury charges, given all the conflicting statements.
TAPPER: Who does, Donald Trump Jr.?
CARPENTER: Yes, over the Trump Tower meeting.
TAPPER: We don't know if he lied to any investigators, yes.
CARPENTER: We don't know what Michael Cohen was doing. We're all going to find out. But given the cloud that is over him, it boggles the mind that they don't have someone else doing that job.
TAPPER: What would you -- as a P.R. professional, forget the fact you're a Democrat for a second. What would you tell the family to do? What would you tell Donald Trump Jr. to do?
PSAKI: Stop doing interviews, stop talking, stop tweeting.
I think he clearly admires his dad or he's scared of him. I don't know what the family dynamics are. But he is echoing his style. I mean, the way he talked in that interview reminded me of like a mafia movie, where, like, I'm not worried about it. It's going to be fine. We will take it as it comes.
What does that even mean? But that's exactly what his dad does and exactly what he has seen his dad be successful at in his eyes. So, you know, they're not going to listen to me. If I were telling them all, I would tell, President Trump, stop tweeting about the book. You're selling more books for Woodward. They're flying off the shelves. I would tell his family to stop talking. They should focus on the hurricane.
They should focus on governing for the American people. But they're not looking for my advice.
TAPPER: There is a whole section in the Woodward book where Lindsey Graham, Senator Lindsey Graham, trying to befriend Donald Trump after that very hard-fought election, primary election, gives him advice. And one of the top things Lindsey Graham tells the president is tweet more strategically. Don't just tweet about anything. Be strategic about it.
RYE: But just like any child, he lacks the discipline to listen to that very important advice. Bipartisan advice now, Jen. It's -- I don't know.
PSAKI: In part because he wants the sugar rush of it, right? I mean, all of this is like I need that moment that's the photo that's going to be on the front of the paper. I want to be the headline. I want to be the ticker. And that's not how you govern.
TAPPER: All right, everyone, stick around. We got a lot more to talk about.
Casting doubt or hedging his bets? The top Republican in the Senate making a shocking statement about the upcoming midterm elections. Stay with us.
TAPPER: Hurricane Florence is already impacting the midterm elections. President Trump has canceled planned rallies to boost Senate candidates in Missouri and Mississippi this week to deal with the storm.
And some of these Senate races will come down to a -- quote -- "knife fight," according to the Senate majority leader.
SEN. MITCH MCCONNELL (R-KY), MAJORITY LEADER: We know this is going to be a very challenging election. On the Senate side, I will just list you a bunch of races that are dead-even, Arizona, Nevada, Tennessee, Montana, North Dakota, Missouri, Indiana, West Virginia, and Florida.
All of them too close to call, and every one of them like a knife fight in an alley, I mean, just a brawl in every one of those places. I hope, when the smoke clears, that we will still have a majority in the Senate.
TAPPER: All right. A lot of mixed metaphors there.
PSAKI: Feeling good.
TAPPER: But, Josh, you used to work for Mitch McConnell.
And I have to say, I don't know that I buy it that he's really scared about all of these Senate races.
HOLMES: Sure.
TAPPER: I think he's trying -- this is -- maybe I'm just a cynic in Washington.
TAPPER: I think he's trying to motivate Republicans, voters and fund- raisers, and the like.
HOLMES: Well, that's fair.
1645 [16:45:00] JAKE TAPPER, CNN HOST: -- I buy it that he's really scared about all of these Senate races. I think he's trying -- this is -- maybe I'm just a cynic in Washington. I think he's trying to motivate Republicans, voters, and fundraisers, and the like.
JOSH HOLMES, REPUBLICAN STRATEGIST: Well, that's fair. Look, I don't think you have any success over time in politics at all unless you take everything deadly seriously --
TAPPER: Sure.
HOLMES: -- particularly a midterm where your party's in power and particularly this midterm where you've got all kinds of different environmental factors that could cause otherwise friendly Republican places to be extremely competitive.
TAPPER: By environmental you mean the president?
HOLMES: Well, amongst other things.
TAPPER: Well, the economy is doing great, right?
HOLMES: The economy is the ticket to admission here for Republicans. I think particularly among suburban Republicans that we've seen a huge drop-off in across the country, the economy and the tax package are the two things that are keeping them competitive. That's largely a House issue. The states that he's talking about in particular our red states where there's basically more Republicans and there are Democrats. And what he's talking about is trying to motivate Republicans to the point where if they're turning out the same levels that they turned out in 16 or even 14 for that matter, we should be fine. We should -- the majority of the Senate should not be in doubt. But that's a big if.
TAPPER: Yes, that's a big if.
AMANDA CARPENTER, CNN POLITICAL COMMENTATOR: I was going to say, Fear is a great title for Bob Woodward's book but I'm not sure it's the greatest message to win elections. I am deeply concerned that the Republican Party has no strategy to get back the suburban Republican women that they had been bleeding since Donald Trump was elected.
TAPPER: Well, let me ask you a question because McConnell also admitted that Senator Ted Cruz for whom you used to work has a tough November race against Congressman Beto O'Rourke. Texas Monthly has a new story and the headline is "Some People Think Ted Cruz is a Jerk. Is It Enough to Make Him Lose?" How much of his -- I know you like him personally, but how much -- CARPENTER: I mean, the guy came in second in the Republican
Presidential Primary.
TAPPER: I understand that --
CARPENTER: There are people who like him.
TAPPER: I understand. I understand. But I'm just saying, how much of his vulnerability do you think is because if his perceived -- maybe it's unfair -- but it's perceived likability issues.
CARPENTER: I think there's more questions about the dance he had to do in opposing Donald Trump and then going ahead and endorsing him later on.
TAPPER: You think that hurt him more?
CARPENTER: I think that causes some friction, some questions. And listen, Beto O'Rourke is a good candidate. He doesn't make mistakes.
TAPPER: What were you going to weigh in in Ted Cruz here?
ANGELA RYE, CNN POLITICAL COMMENTATOR: Well, a few things. One is not just on Ted Cruz but yes I do think there's a likability challenge. I like you, Amanda. You're likable enough, Amanda.
CARPENTER: I'll take that even with Hillary Clinton.
RYE: Yes, yes, thank you. You mentioned there are more Republicans than Democrats in some of the states that he named and I think that is actually false. I think there are two challenges that exist for Democrats, one is systemic that are -- that's the massive voter suppression issue, our efforts that have taken place all over this country and have caused some people to believe that there aren't enough Democrats to really turn out and make a difference particularly in southern states.
I think one of the other issues we have are kind of the waffling and waving between where you really stand if you truly are progressive, if you truly are a Democratic candidate. And one example of that is kind of Doug Jones being hesitant to come forth and say he would oppose Kavanaugh's nomination. We can't afford to kind of have that type of lukewarmness in the party right now and I think that would be a bigger challenge that even financial contributions --
HOLMES: That's a really good point. That's a really good point. Democrats are -- Democrats are going through a situation Republicans went through in 10, 12, and 14.
RYE: I think --
HOLMES: Where you see -- where you see --
CARPENTER: Well get ready. It's a lot. HOLMES: You got a heck of a future on this one because I'm telling what's going to happen. You've got a progressive, very energetic progressive base that is focused on things like abolish ICE, impeachment of the president, Medicare for all, some of the underlying issues that Bernie Sanders had highlighted in his campaign. And then you've got sort of your Chuck Schumer mainstream establishment Democrat. And never the two shall meet. Now they're going to get through this cycle --
JEN PSAKI, FORMER COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR, OBAMA WHITE HOUSE: But I think the problem for you, Josh, is that in the primary so far -- you look at the Virginia Governor's election, the progressives and the moderates came together to defeat the Republican candidate. So now we're in the point of the general election. What McConnell did which I think was quite smart, but let's call it for what it is. He knows there's an enthusiasm problem in the Republican Party. He knows the Democrats have a lot of enthusiasm. No one is talking about the possibility the Republicans could lose the Senate but it is a possibility. So he's sending out his five-alarm fire. Raise money, turn out, do all that stuff.
What we've seen on the Democratic side is yes, we need to become the party of the umbrella if we're going to win back more seats than the Republicans. There's division but people have actually come together to elect some candidates in special elections.
RYE: Yes, part of that is to -- for the first time we should not allow the Republican Party to tell us what the message is. Abolish ICE is not as big a message point as you're making.
PSAKI: No, it's not. It's about healthcare.
TAPPER: By the way, as long as I have you here, do you think that Cynthia Nixon could beat Governor Cuomo in the primary this week?
RYE: What I what I will tell you is I have been so surprised by the number of people who have been completely written off, polling data and did not get it right. My friend Andrew Gillum in Florida is one of them, Stacey Abrams in Georgia's another one, like completely missed the mark. And so what I'm comfortable saying is I'm not a pollster and if I was I would probably still get it wrong so we shall see.
[16:50:07] TAPPER: All right, fair enough. Politico is reporting that Florida Governor Rick Perry who is a Trump Ally and running for Senate doesn't mention Trump anymore on the Senate campaign trail. President George W. Bush is going to be with Scott at two fundraisers instead. And obviously, this comes as Donald Trump's approval rating as has sank to 36 percent, a six-point drop from last month. A lot of other polls showing a similar drop.
Is it fair to say that in anything other than red states or maybe even in red states Donald Trump is a drag on the ticket?
HOLMES: Well, look, I think Florida is a situation in of itself, right? Rick Scott is a two-term governor who's got a heck of a high name I.D., who has a political profile that is so far aside from Republicans in Washington let alone President Trump. But that race is going to be about a whole bunch of different things that are happening in Florida and there it's going to be a tight race on the Senate race. I think your governor's race is going to be a tight race that you just referred to. But I think there's going to be an awful lot of happening in Florida that is not going to be a direct referendum on what's happening in Washington which is sort of unlike a lot of these other states.
TAPPER: Yes, but do you by that? I mean at 36 percent approval rating and that's CNN's poll but other polls have it at 37 percent, Suffolk University is 40 percent. I mean, these are -- these are nasty poll numbers for Donald Trump.
CARPENTER: Yes, I think Republicans can get discombobulated by Trump and you have to really decide whether we are going to run on his coattails or be your own person. And there's -- know your path to success look at Ron De Santis also in Florida, he just dropped --
TAPPER: Running for -- running for governor.
CARPENTER: Running for the governor but dropped out of Congress to focus on his race and he has run as a Trump imprint if you look at his ad. And so there's no -- there's no clear way you just have to know whatever you got to do and Trump you know, it's --
TAPPER: What do you mean and worse?
RYE: And worse meaning he started his race by saying to Florida voters on Fox News we don't want to -- about this candidate, about Andrew Gilliam who's the first black Democratic nominee for governor. We don't want Florida --
TAPPER: Floridian.
RYE: Floridian to monkey this up.
RYE: You know, and that's how he started. And then now he's using anti-Semitic rhetoric and tagging that to Andrew. It's horrible.
CARPENTER: But that's the thing. I mean, he's dropping out of Congress when Florida is facing a hurricane. That's strange.
TAPPER: All right, everyone stick around. We got more. An off-duty police officer entering an apartment and killing the man who lived in that apartment. The officer claiming she thought it was her own home but witnesses' accounts may tell a conflicting story stay with us
[16:55:00] TAPPER: There may be much more to the tragic story of a Dallas police officer who claims she mistakenly entered the wrong apartment and then shot and killed a black man inside the apartment, the resident. Amber Guyger who is white claimed she thought Botham Shem Jean had broke into her home last Thursday night when she entered his apartment and killed the innocent man. But now the attorney for the victim says two witnesses are contradicting the officer's version of events. CNN's Ryan Young reports from Dallas.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I know we have a problem with getting justice in these streets but damn, can we get justice in our living room?
RYAN YOUNG, CNN NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Demands for answers in Dallas are growing louder as contradicting stories emerge over the death of 26-year-old Botham Jean. A witness who captured this video says it shows off-duty policewoman Amber Guyger distraught and facing on the balcony of her Dallas Thursday night, still in uniform after finishing her shift.
Guyger had opened fire around 10:00 p.m. killing jean after saying she mistook his fourth-floor apartment for her own third-floor residence. According to the affidavit, the room was nearly completely dark, believing she encountered a burglar, across the room in her apartment, Guyger drew her firearm and gave verbal commands that were ignored.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: We hope to bring understanding and clarity to the family.
YOUNG: But Jean's family attorney says witnesses add more to the story.
LEE MERRITT, JEAN FAMILY ATTORNEY: They both heard a knock or a pounding on the door. The one who was closer to the scene in her bedroom reading a book, she heard pounding followed by a female's voice, saying, "open up, let me in." She said that was shortly followed by the sound of gunshots and the sound of a man's voice saying what she believed to be, "oh my god, why did you do that?"
YOUNG: Guyger was arrested Sunday evening and was charged with manslaughter. She posted bail and was released just hours later. Now prosecutors say more serious charges won't be ruled out.
FAITH JOHNSON, DISTRICT ATTORNEY, DALLAS COUNTY: The grand jury will be that entity that will make the final decision in terms of the charges.
YOUNG: Guyger has been placed on administrative leave as her case is investigated. But protesters aren't waiting. Crowds took to the streets outside the Dallas Police Department Monday.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: They don't come to us and ask us --
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: You're right.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: -- about what happened.
YOUNG: And continued marching into the night. Jean's red doormat is adorned with flowers and his mother is still begging for truth. ALLISON JEAN, MOTHER OF BOTHAM: The number one answer that I want is what happened. I have asked too many questions, and I've been told that there are no answers yet.
YOUNG: We have reached out to Guyger's attorney but they have not reach back out to us. Something else to keep in mind here, Jake. Last night during the protest, there were two groups that were marching. And at some point, it seems someone started firing some pepper ball spray toward them. They're trying to figure out exactly right now who did that. In fact, the police chief says they're going to investigate it.
TAPPER: All right, Ryan, thank you so much. You can follow me on Facebook and Twitter @JAKETAPPER, you can tweet the show @THELEADCNN. Our coverage now continues on CNN after this.

As Rural Groceries Fade Away, Lawmakers Wonder Whether to Act
Stateline Article October 2, 2019 By: April Simpson Read time:
Colleen Bibelheimer, an employee at D&M Grocery in Drake, North Dakota, organizes a grocery shelf. The town is likely to lose its only grocery beginning next year. Closure will mean customers will have to drive 30 miles to the nearest grocery. North Dakota lawmakers are studying how the state can serve grocery stores in rural areas where shops have been closing.

Nancy McCloud did not have any food industry bona fides. She had never worked in a grocery store; not even a restaurant. And yet three years ago, when her local grocery in central New Mexico closed, she wanted to offer the community (population: 863) the fresh foods they otherwise would have to travel 47 miles to get.
Mountainair, New Mexico, is a popular tourist stop because of its proximity to 17th century ruins that harken to the earliest contact between Pueblo Indians and Spanish colonials. It's known as the "gateway to ancient cities." But without a grocery store, McCloud feared Mountainair might become another relic of the past.
"When you have a small rural town and the grocery store dies, the town dries up and it just blows away," said McCloud, who revived B Street Market in 2017 and became its owner. "There are six towns east of here — they just lost the grocery store, then they lost the gas station, and then they lost the bank and now they're nothing."
Some states are trying to tackle their rural grocery gaps. Supporters of such efforts point to tax incentives and subsidies at various levels of government that have enabled superstores to service larger areas and squeeze out local independent grocers. Now, dollar stores are opening in rural regions and offering items at lower prices, posing direct competition to local groceries.
Critics see that development as a threat to public health, since dollar stores typically lack quality meat and fresh produce.
But every town and every store is different, making statewide solutions elusive. Some legislators say they are reluctant to intervene too heavily because the market should close the gaps.
In North Dakota, a legislative panel is studying rural food distribution and transportation amid a steep decline in the number of groceries serving rural areas. The committee is considering whether there are public policies that could work, said state Rep. Thomas Beadle, a Republican committee member. But Beadle hopes consumers will organize and solve problems on their own.
"North Dakota is a red-leaning state," Beadle said. "We're much more free market than having government intervention. It really would take a drastic instance for the state to step in."
State Sen. Jim Dotzenrod, a Democratic committee member, said legislators are trying to understand the scope of the problem and whether they can do anything about it.
"One of the things we're trying to decide is, are there state resources that are currently in place that could be of some value, whether it's storage or transportation or things like that," Dotzenrod said. "It may be when we're done with this, we'll have to say we don't have a solution at hand. But I'm hoping that we can come up with some ideas that will help."
Travel Woes
In rural areas, the poor tend to live farther from supermarkets than residents with more resources. The median distance to the nearest food store for rural populations in 2015 was 3.11 miles, and a shade farther for rural households enrolled in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), better known as food stamps, according to a May 2019 report by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which oversees the program.
A slightly larger share of rural SNAP households than rural non-SNAP households, 8% as opposed to 7%, were more than 10 miles from the nearest store.
Mobile Food Banks Roll to Isolated, Rural Poor
Seventy-nine percent of U.S. counties with the highest rates of food insecurity are rural.
In North Dakota, 60% of residents who are income-eligible for SNAP participate, according to Fargo, North Dakota-based Great Plains Food Bank.
"What we're hearing from clients is that there isn't anywhere for them to use their benefits," said Melissa Sobolik, food bank president.
The perception that rural residents make a deliberate decision to live in greater isolation — and have the means to travel to buy the food they need — doesn't help, according to Evan Weissman, associate professor of food studies in the Department of Nutrition and Food Studies at Syracuse University in New York.
Rural, isolated areas lack public transportation. Traveling can be tough on the poor and seniors. Grocery delivery services, such as AmazonFresh, aren't widely available or practically accessible to regions where poverty and technology gaps persist.
"Some of these changes that could conceivably help close this gap, in some ways, seem to exacerbate it as rural communities are left behind," Weissman said.
An Early Effort
In 2006, a 70-page report from the New Mexico Food and Agriculture Policy Council revealed the extent of New Mexico's rural food gap, prompting legislators to act. The report found residents drove as long as four hours round-trip to the closest grocery, or even hitchhiked to avoid high fuel costs.
Lawmakers established a food gap task force that was expected to identify solutions. One idea was a state-financed revolving loan fund that would help cash-strapped rural store owners buy produce coolers or loading docks.
But New Mexico's budget fortunes sank with the decline of oil and gas revenues around 2008 and lawmakers' priorities shifted.
In 2017, Democratic state Sen. Liz Stefanics sponsored a nonbinding resolution calling for a study on the demise of rural grocery stores. But little came of that either. Stefanics said she is consulting with Democratic Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham on the challenges facing New Mexico's rural grocers and what might be done to help them.
"If states are going to have economic incentives, whether they're loans, grants, deductions, I believe rural grocery stores need to be right there at the top of the list," Stefanics said. "It's not just about bringing in big companies from out of state to set up jobs, it's also to encourage the economy within these small communities."
Brian Moore, owner of Clayton Ranch Market in Clayton, New Mexico, and a former Republican legislator who now heads government relations for the New Mexico Association of Counties, said the group plans to discuss rural grocery sustainability at its meeting later this month.
In recent years, other states have tried to close their own rural food gaps.
In 2015, Alabama enacted a law providing low-interest state grants to new or existing grocery stores in needy areas. And in 2017, Oklahoma created a revolving fund for rural food retailers looking to finance the construction, renovation or expansion of their stores.
More recently, Nevada lawmakers earlier this year introduced a bill to create a $10 million loan program to attract grocery stores to underserved communities. However, an amendment removed the $10 million appropriation. The bill signed by Democratic Gov. Steve Sisolak in June provides tax credits for eligible fresh food retailers.
At the federal level, USDA oversees the Healthy Food Financing Initiative, established by the 2014 farm bill, which supports healthy food retail projects in more than 35 states.
State Laws Slow Down High-Speed Internet for Rural America
Electric cooperatives could play a critical role in improving rural broadband access as more federal funding becomes available.
But some rural grocery owners, such as McCloud in New Mexico, say it's tough to access those dollars. McCloud didn't receive any state or federal funding to open her store.
"I couldn't find any that was applicable for a for-profit business," McCloud said. "If I were a co-op, yes, but a co-op wouldn't survive in this particular town. There wouldn't be enough [people] to help."
McCloud said she applied unsuccessfully for a USDA loan for electric cooperatives. She turned to a crowdfunding campaign and took out microloans from the community to reopen the store.
Meanwhile, more communities are considering community-supported ownership models, said David Procter, who directs the Center for Engagement and Community Development at Kansas State University and whose focus is rural grocery sustainability.
Successful store owners are thinking beyond retail and responding to community needs. In Lenox, Iowa, population 1,400, Ramsey's Market considers itself an "entertainment center." It offers traditional groceries, a taco shop and an Ace Hardware, with a bar in a 1920s-era gymnasium next door. A rural Illinois school district and bank plan to open a co-op grocery store run by the school district and assisted by students.
Legislators should recognize that the success of measures such as tax incentives or loan deferments will vary by region and within states, according to some experts.
"We did look at tax credits," said Lori Capouch, rural development director for the North Dakota Association of Rural Electric Cooperatives, who facilitates a statewide rural grocery initiative. "It was kind of a joke because there's no income being made to need a tax credit."
But Jennifer Zwagerman, director of the Drake Agricultural Law Center at Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa, said rural areas with declining populations face a chicken-and-egg situation.
"How do you get people to rural communities? Well, you have to offer them the services and benefits they need to live there," Zwagerman said. "The flipside is how do you offer services of that kind? You have to have people to support them."
'There's Only So Much We Can Do'
In North Dakota, 82% of towns have fewer than a thousand people. Among communities with 2,100 people or fewer, there are 98 full-service grocery stores, down from 137 in 2014, according to research from the state's association of rural electric cooperatives.
In August, Capouch testified before North Dakota legislators about the issue. The lawmakers were concerned about interfering with free enterprise, she said.
In written testimony, Capouch shared the results of a statewide study that found more than 50% of rural North Dakota stores have a weekly sales volume of $20,000 or less, compared with the U.S. average of $320,000. They have an annual net profit margin of $18,000 or less. Some owners and managers pay themselves after the margin is set.
"In order to have food in some of our communities, it's coming on the backs of our people," Capouch said.
All the while, rural communities are sparsely populated and aging. "So from a state's perspective, there's only so much we can do," Beadle said. "We're not looking at having state-owned groceries."
Capouch floated lots of ideas: Rural grocery stores could distribute like Amazon, or work with the U.S. Postal Service to develop a more affordable distribution system. Or they could partner with the state for distribution by working with the Emergency Preparedness and Response Section of the North Dakota Department of Health.
The committee discussed state partnerships briefly, "but I don't know if we're going to go that route," Beadle said. For now, the committee will do more fact finding.

A Very French Side Table Love Affair .. A Unique Wine Rack and Some Great Vintage Finds!!
Wow, so much has happened over the last few weeks I barely have had time to think let alone a chance to get on the computer and write an update. But today I was determined to sit down and share some of the exciting developments that have been happening.
About 2 weeks ago my husband and I spotted a garage sale and cruised in to check it out. The sale was at the house of an old lady who is 102 and being moved into a nursing home, so her family were selling off the things she couldn't take with her. I felt a little sad that her things were being sold but now they will be loved again and live on through someone else. I started to sift through the piles of bric-a-brac and soon spotted a mountain of very old very dust books. As soon as I see books I'm totally distracted and these books upon closer inspection were some of the most beautiful vintage books I had come across in a very long time. The stories actually sounded great and I recognised some of the authors. Some of the books were nearly 200 years old and I was greedily tucking as many as I could under my arm like I had found gold bullion. I tell you, books are something I really love and I really felt like I had discovered a treasure trove. The lady watching me laughed at me trying to hold them all and gave me a box and told me to take as many as I liked for $6.00 … I seriously resisted the urge to hug her and promptly filled the box up!!
After I had gotten over my book treasure find enough to look around, my husband and I spotted a beautiful antique Singer Sewing machine 99K model in MINT condition. I kid you not, this machine looked pristine and we plugged it in and all the electrics (even the light globe) worked. After chatting with my hubby he kindly bought it for me 🙂 I am very spoilt!! I love this machine sooo much. I am booking in to have lessons on it and I can't wait!!
Ok so if we go a week on from there, I have been scouring some second-hand furniture sites and came across a very solid bedside table that was in need of some love. I couldn't pass it up and so I went out to meet the lady and buy it. While I was there I picked up a lamp and some picture frames for free so that was great.
I took this piece home and had the instant inspiration that I wanted it to have a very French-esque makeover. I wanted it to look like it came from a beautiful French café 1oo years ago ( I don't want much do I??!! haha). So I got started on it, not really knowing how I would achieve the look I was after. I painted the entire piece in Annie Sloan chalk paint. I started with a coat of old white, then a coat of French linen. Then in parts I went over in graphite and then for the top, drawers and side panels I used a blend of old white and country grey. And when you think I couldn't get much more colour on this piece, I made a wash of paris grey and dry brushed this over the entire piece. It was really taking shape so I got out my sand paper and distressed and then added clear and dark wax. Once I had finished I took a step back and stared in amazement!! The piece was near on exactly the way I had imagined it. I love love love it, it is aged with a Frenchy twist and just divine. I really resisted the urge to kiss this piece haha it just looks so beautiful and in the right setting romantic and charming.
I can't believe that I have to part with this piece, but I can't physically keep it. I did consider squeezing it in my bedroom and hoping the husband wouldn't notice but to no avail, so this piece is up for grabs!!
Aside from this my husband and I had been working on a very cool piece. A few months ago we had bought a chest of drawers that was pretty banged up. The drawers were actually un-salvageable which was disappointing as we had to change our game plan with this piece. So my husband decided to think outside the box and suggested that we transform it into a wine rack. GREAT IDEA!!! So that we did.
We pulled the draws out and gave the top a buzz and began our modifications!!
We wanted it to be rustic, unusual and functional all at the same time. I hadn't tried out Arles chalk paint yet, so I grabbed the tin and got painting. The colour looked great!! The top I wanted to be special so I went to the trusty Graphics Fairy and printed off a very nice French Typography Graphic. I hand painted the graphic on the top and then stained over it!! It looks great. To make the table unique we added some chalk board panelling on the side so that you can write wine lists etc. on there. And to give it more of the industrial reclaimed look we made some Galvanised corner brackets and pop riveted them in place.
After a good old coat of wax and some buffing this piece just came up PERFECT!!!! What do you think??
Once again thank you to the trusty graphics fairy for her fantastic images and graphics.
I still have some more very exciting projects on the go so I will write again soon with some more great makeovers and finds.
Just wondering if you made the inside of the wine rack as well? I have an old tv cupboard I want to convert and would love instructions if you did this!
Hi there! Id love to say that i made the inside too but I bought it. You can buy wine racking like that it comes in different sizes, i think its called bordex 🙂 good luck!!


OBJECTIVE In contrast to conventional breast imaging techniques, one major diagnostic benefit of breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the simultaneous acquisition of morphologic and dynamic enhancement characteristics, which are based on angiogenesis and therefore provide insights into tumor pathophysiology. The aim of this investigation was to intraindividually compare 2 macrocyclic MRI contrast agents, with low risk for nephrogenic systemic fibrosis, in the morphologic and dynamic characterization of histologically verified mass breast lesions, analyzed by blinded human evaluation and a fully automatic computer-assisted diagnosis (CAD) technique. MATERIALS AND METHODS Institutional review board approval and patient informed consent were obtained. In this prospective, single-center study, 45 women with 51 histopathologically verified (41 malignant, 10 benign) mass lesions underwent 2 identical examinations at 1.5 T (mean time interval, 2.1 days) with 0.1-mmol kg doses of gadoteric acid and gadobutrol. All magnetic resonance images were visually evaluated by 2 experienced, blinded breast radiologists in consensus and by an automatic CAD system, whereas the morphologic and dynamic characterization as well as the final human classification of lesions were performed based on the categories of the Breast imaging reporting and data system MRI atlas. Lesions were also classified by defining their probability of malignancy (morpho-dynamic index; 0%-100%) by the CAD system. Imaging results were correlated with histopathology as gold standard. RESULTS The CAD system coded 49 of 51 lesions with gadoteric acid and gadobutrol (detection rate, 96.1%); initial signal increase was significantly higher for gadobutrol than for gadoteric acid for all and the malignant coded lesions (P < 0.05). Gadoteric acid resulted in more postinitial washout curves and fewer continuous increases of all and the malignant lesions compared with gadobutrol (CAD hot spot regions, P < 0.05). Morphologically, the margins of the malignancies were different between the 2 agents, whereas gadobutrol demonstrated more spiculated and fewer smooth margins (P < 0.05). Lesion classifications by the human observers and by the morpho-dynamic index compared with the histopathologic results did not significantly differ between gadoteric acid and gadobutrol. CONCLUSIONS Macrocyclic contrast media can be reliably used for breast dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI. However, gadoteric acid and gadobutrol differed in some dynamic and morphologic characterization of histologically verified breast lesions in an intraindividual, comparison. Besides the standardization of technical parameters and imaging evaluation of breast MRI, the standardization of the applied contrast medium seems to be important to receive best comparable MRI interpretation.
