Colorado's Class 1A tournaments will be held at UNC
By Ryan Casey
CHSAA, Class 1A, Colorado School of Mines, Northern Colorado
This is worth repeating: the Class 1A basketball tournaments will be held at the University of Northern Colorado.
CHSAA had moved both the boys and girls tournaments to Colorado School of Mines because of a potential scheduling conflict with UNC's women's team. But the Bears lost to Idaho State on Saturday, 69-61, and won't be hosting the Big Sky Tournament.

Abortionist sees aborting 'ugly black babies' as a service to the taxpayers
August 7, 2012 PecanGroup 1 Comment
Timothy P. Carney\
Watch the video above, of a pro-life Christian group confronting an abortion doctor. The doctor says his abortions save taxpayers money, prevent shootings like the one in Colorado, and rid the world of "ugly black babies."
I wonder how many abortionists and defenders of abortion hold this view of abortion's social role. (Video via Lifesite News.)
UPDATE, 5:50 pm: The doctor in the video, apparently, is an active political donor, giving almost all his money to Democrats.

Zombie Bullets In High Demand Following Flesh-Eating Attacks
June 7, 2012 PecanGroup Leave a comment
Zahra Huber
– Worried about a zombie attack? Buy zombie bullets.
Talk about zombies and a possible zombie apocalypse has increased due to recent gory accounts of drug-induced, flesh-eating attacks in the news.
Stores across the U.S., including in Metro Detroit, are getting in on the undead action by selling Zombie Bullets, made by Hornady Manufacturing.
In promoting the product on their website, Hornady suggests, "Be PREPARED – supply yourself for the Zombie Apocalypse with Zombie Max ammunition from Hornady! Loaded with PROVEN Z-Max bullets… MAKE DEAD PERMANENT!"
So, will this ammunition actually defend against the things that go bump in the night?
WWJ Newsradio 950?s Zahra Huber spoke with company spokesman, Everett Deger, who said, while the bullets are real, they're only meant to be used on targets and not on people (or zombies).

(credit: Hornady)
Deger said company president Steve Hornady came up with the idea for Zombie Max bullets because of his love for zombie movies and shows.
"After it gained some acceptance among some of us here in the company got on board with the idea we decided just to have some fun with a marketing plan that would allow us to create some ammunition designed for that … fictional world," Deger said.
He said the Zombie Max and Z-Max bullets are Horady's most successful products.
"This is probably one of the only (product) launches that we've seen when people who are not in the hunting and shooting industry will go out and they will purchase this," Deger said.
"I mean, I've heard of guys who buy it just because they think the packaging is cool and they set it on their cube and they don't even own a gun," he said. "It has that sort of cross-market appeal, which I think is rare to find these days, where you can actually sell something that will transcend not just one market but go into several."
In Michigan, the bullets are available at Cabela's.

The DiversityInc Top 10 Companies for LGBT Employees
April 19, 2011 PecanGroup Leave a comment
By Barbara Frankel – Apr 17, 2011
This list really should be called The DiversityInc Top 10 Companies for LGBT Employees and Allies, since companies that provide inclusive corporate cultures for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) employees report increased engagement and support from their friends and relatives as well.
The criteria for determining this list is somewhat different from the other top 10 demographic lists, since there is far less available data on LGBT people than on groups broken down by race/ethnicity or gender. To determine this list, we weigh questions from The DiversityInc Top 50 Companies for Diversity® list, including employee participation in LGBT employee-resource groups, and relevant benefits, such as adoption assistance or bereavement leave for domestic partners. Any company that does not offer same-sex domestic-partner health benefits is automatically disqualified from this list, as well as the DiversityInc Top 50 and our other related lists. We also factor in third-party information for this list, including the Human Rights Campaign's Corporate Equality Index, and input from our LGBT partner organizations, such as the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN), Out & Equal and PFLAG (Parents, Families, & Friends of Lesbians and Gays).
Consider these aggregate facts about the companies on this list:
They average double the percentage of employees actively participating in their LGBT employee-resource groups when compared with the DiversityInc Top 50
They all have relocation assistance for same-sex partners and almost all have adoption assistance, bereavement leave and automatic 401(k) designation for same-sex partners
All have demonstrated strong partnerships with leading LGBT organizations in terms of philanthropy and leadership commitment
Here is the list and a fact about each company and why it made the list:
No. 1: KPMG
No. 29 in the DiversityInc Top 50. Also No. 2 in The DiversityInc Top 10 Companies for People With Disabilities; No. 6 in The DiversityInc Top 10 Companies for Global Diversity
KPMG has been a leader in LGBT philanthropy and in its support of its LGBT employee-resource group. The firm's diversity training reflects its commitment to its LGBT employees. Its [email protected]'s Straight for Equality training, sponsored by the Diversity Advisory Board, is facilitated by the pride network and presented by PFLAG. It is a 90-minute interactive training aimed at general audiences with varying levels of understanding about LGBT issues.
No. 2: Wells Fargo & Co.

Maybe you should show the top 100 or top 1,000, to better help us know the companies to be employed with. Only putting "10" doesn't give us much to choose from..

Q: session start without locking? or an workaround? I have done some research about session start and why it locked all my other ajax request.
I found out that the user's session is locked until the page is done executing or session_write_close() is called.
with session_set_save_handler you can set your own handlers for session, but i don't know how it works and how i can NOT lock sessions and only read it.
Does someone have an example on session_set_save_handler?
Or is there an other workaround for read-only sessions / unlocked sessions?

A: Using database to save PHP sessions avoid locking of ajax requests. session_set_save_handler allows that.
You will need to create a class with open, close, read, write, destroy, gc methods similar to this:
        /**
         * DBSession
         */
        class DBSession
        {

            /**
             * Db Object
             */
            private $db;

            public function __construct(){

                 $this->db = new DB; //initialise in your database connection object
            }

            /**
             * Open
             */
            public function open()
            {
                // If successful
                if ($this->db) {
                    // Return True
                    return true;
                }
                // Return False
                return false;
            }

            /**
             * Close
             */
            public function close()
            {
                // Close the database connection
                // If successful
                if ($this->db->close()) {
                    // Return True
                    return true;
                }
                // Return False
                return false;
            }

            /**
             * Read
             */
            public function read($id)
            {
                // Set query
                $this->db->query('SELECT data FROM sessions WHERE id = :id');

                // Bind the Id
                $this->db->bind(':id', $id);

                // Attempt execution
                // If successful
                if ($this->db->execute()) {
                    // Save returned row
                    $row = $this->db->single();
                    // Return the data
                    return $row['data'];
                } else {
                    // Return an empty string
                    return '';
                }
            }

            /**
             * Write
             */
            public function write($id, $data)
            {
                // Create time stamp
                $access = time();

                // Set query
                $this->db->query('REPLACE INTO sessions VALUES (:id, :access, :data)');

                // Bind data
                $this->db->bind(':id', $id);
                $this->db->bind(':access', $access);
                $this->db->bind(':data', $data);

                // Attempt Execution
                // If successful
                if ($this->db->execute()) {
                    // Return True
                    return true;
                }

                // Return False
                return false;
            }

            /**
             * Destroy
             */
            public function destroy($id)
            {
                // Set query
                $this->db->query('DELETE FROM sessions WHERE id = :id');

                // Bind data
                $this->db->bind(':id', $id);

                // Attempt execution
                // If successful
                if ($this->db->execute()) {
                    // Return True
                    return true;
                }

                // Return False
                return false;
            }

            /**
             * Garbage Collection
             */
            public function gc($max)
            {
                // Calculate what is to be deemed old
                $old = time() - $max;

                // Set query
                $this->db->query('DELETE * FROM sessions WHERE access < :old');

                // Bind data
                $this->db->bind(':old', $old);

                // Attempt execution
                if ($this->db->execute()) {
                    // Return True
                    return true;
                }

                // Return False
                return false;
            }
        }

Then to start your session you can:
$dbSession = new DBSession();

session_set_save_handler(
  array($dbSession, "open"),
  array($dbSession, "close"),
  array($dbSession, "read"),
  array($dbSession, "write"),
  array($dbSession, "destroy"),
  array($dbSession, "gc")
);

session_start();

Alternately, you can move the session_set_save_handler call and session_start() to the constructor of your DBSession class. In that case you can simply initiate an instance of DBSession at the beginning of your script.
Actually, the PHP manual has already got some examples:

BACKGROUND: University degree
ACTION/SECTOR: Law
POSITION: Lawyer, Head of Consumer Protection
ORGANISATION: Styrian chamber of labour
I began as a consultant in the department for labour legislation where along with providing advisory services, I also represented our members in the labour and social courts. I gave lectures, was active in social policy, worked on claims made by the Austrian chamber of labour against the federal and regional governments and reviewed legislation. Working for the federal chamber of labour for employers and employees, I was involved in the preparation of legislative reforms as well as the creation of new legislation.

As women's representative along with the advisory, representative and lecturing activities, I was also responsible for media relations. I personally created a manuscript on the topic of maternity leave, maternity leave pay and equal opportunities for use by employee representative as well as brochures for mothers and parents on the same theme. I also co-created a statement on maternity and paternity leave for the Austrian Trade Union Federation.
Since April 2009 I have been head of the department of consumer protection with the Austrian chamber of labour.
Opportunities:
As the first female lawyer at the Styrian chamber of labour, from the beginning on, I was entrusted with representing the interests of female employees in so called "women's issues". What I first viewed as a form of discrimination, I quickly turned into an opportunity and began to specialise in an area which appeared to be uninteresting and unimportant to my colleagues. I began to acquire specialist knowledge which allowed me to become a renowned expert in this field at a nationwide level. My work in the area was officially recognised in 2010 when the Käthe Leichter prize for equality was awarded to me by the minister for social affairs.
Above all, the recognition of being a national expert led to me being entrusted with the position of head of the second largest department in the Austrian chamber of commerce.
The most difficult time for me was definitely beginning work in an organisation which was very hierarchically structured and which operated on an "old boys club" basis. Women outside the administrative/ secretarial sphere were extremely unusual at this time and their presence was not deemed necessary. My family were not an obstacle which I had to overcome as they had always provided me with their support. Overcoming prejudices against women in the workplace was however very time consuming, energy draining and psychologically demanding particularly when your qualifications are not recognised or seen solely because of your gender.
Expert knowledge, perseverance, social competence and the necessary composure and endurance. In order to head a department organisational skills and being self organised are absolutely essential.
It has always been important to me to take pleasure from my work. I didn't want to be content with just a run of the mill knowledge. I have always been interested in the processes with an organisation and wanted to become involved in influencing these processes. At first I could only achieve success through accumulating knowledge. Now in my new role I am able to reap the rewards from the "difficult years".
As head of a large department other skills are now at the fore. It is my employees rather than I who are now the ones with the specialist knowledge. This is a big change for me. You need to be able to take on new roles and challenges even when they don't exactly correspond to your previous grand plan.

Manuscript invoice from the Constable Josiah Waters for delivering warrants of removal from Charlestown to women and families
A colonial constable profits from his role in enforcing the removal of impoverished families from Charlestown
[Poverty] [Homelessness] [Immigration] [Family Welfare].
Charlestown, Colony of Massachusetts: July 4, 1730. Single sheet measuring 11.75 x 7.5 inches with manuscript text to recto and manuscript docketing to verso. Minor chipping along sheet edges; minor paper loss along top fold line, where a pen was used to excise an error, and accompanied by the author's signed verification "Error Excised by Josiah Waters." An exceptional survivor, the present document provides information about the magisterial infrastructure in place in Charlestown to enact policies by which impoverished or recently arrived immigrants who had not established residency were denied town assistance and banished.
From Charlestown on July 4, 1730 -- 46 years before the date would be linked to independence -- Constable Josiah Waters seeks remuneration from the town magistrates for several jobs conducted between 1728 and 1730. At the very top: "In the year 1728. To warning Mary Vine out of town by way of town warrant...Again, To warning Thomas Webb and his wife and Two Children out of town, by town warrant of the same." Beneath this are a series of single men also removed. Accompanying each warning is a fee. At the document's footer, another hand provides information on payment: "Allowed 7£ for warning our of Town, 20£ 2 --- in his List of Rates. Abated James Brown Rate in F. List 16£ 11."
"During the middle decades of the eighteenth century, people in Massachusetts experienced poverty in a way that they had not known it before. The numbers of poor and dependent people increased sharply in both the countryside and in seaport towns; transiency became more common as 'strolling poor' people moved from town to town in search of work and poor relief" -- all of these heavily influenced by sustained population growth, resulting restricted economic opportunities and inflation, and displacement of families during the French and Indian War (Colonial Society). "English in heritage but American in their social origins, Massachusetts poor laws underwent a dramatic transformation...representing a tension between...on the one side, compassion and humanitarianism...on the other, fears of 'great disorder and idleness' that required containment and control" (Colonial Society). The system of "warning-out" became the key means of locating non-resident poor and homeless individuals and removing them from the town's social welfare programs.
Desperation clearly drove not only individual men to seek out employment in unfamiliar places. Lone women such as Mary Vine took those risks as well, as did families such as the Webbs. Further research could be done into whether they relocated and survived. Research could be conducted as well as into how the costs of the warrant system compared to the costs of providing safety and shelter for such people, and what periods or costs were associated with establishing residency. Links between colonial laws and present policies surrounding social safety and welfare, as well as immigration and the forced control over migrants also deserve study. (Item #5159)

Veteran Nollywood Actress, Rachel Oniga dead at 64
July 31, 2021 August 28, 2021 NaijOnline
Rachel Oniga Dead At 64, is not a headline you'd want to wake up on a Saturday morning to see. But sadly, Nollywood has lost another one of its veterans.
The Nigeran Entertainment industry has been hit with yet another heavy loss with the death of Veteran Actress, Rachel Oniga
Nigerians were shocked to learn about Rachel Oniga's death on Saturday morning, and condolences are already flooding in, particularly in her Instagram comment area.
On Friday, July 30, she died from CO VID-19 complications, according to a source.
Rachel Tabuno Oniga was born in Lagos, Nigeria, on May 23, 1957, to parents from Eku, a hamlet in Delta State's Ethiope East local government area.
Until her death, She began her acting career in 1993, starred in a number of successful Nollywood movies, and was loved in the community. She worked briefly at Ascoline Nigeria Limited, a Dutch Consultant Company before her first movie titled Onome, and her debut Yoruba movie was Owo Blow.
Over the years, she has featured in notable Nigerian films such as Sango, a movie scripted by Wale Ogunyemi, produced and directed by Obafemi Lasode, and Wale Adenuga's television series, Super story.

Nigeria will spend N620m to prevent coronavirus outbreak
Minister of Health, Osagie Ehanire, made this known as he appeared before the Senate Committee on health to brief the panel on what the ministry is doing to prevent an outbreak of coronavirus in Nigeria.
Enahire said the ministry submitted a memo proposing for the release of the sum of N620m to take proactive measures to prevent the spread of the virus.
He added that the ministry had a multi-stakeholder meeting to deploy port health services to screen all passengers coming into Nigeria.
Meanwhile, the Senate expressed concerns over the fact that screenings aren't taking place in the Chattered flight passengers wing of the local flights that arrived at the airports. The senators said such oversight could lead to the virus being imported into Nigeria.
As a result, the Senate ordered Ehanire to deploy health officials to the private tarmac and conduct screening of VIPs on chartered flights.


Elk Grove Village, Illinois, November 14, 2012 — Avant Tecno USA made its debut at the GIE+Expo last month in Louisville, KY, to an overwhelmingly positive response from dealers, green industry professionals, and media. During two days of exhibiting, more than two hundred people made their way through the Avant USA booths, including several who are interested in becoming dealers of the Avant compact loaders in the U.S. At some points during the event, attendees were lined up waiting to talk to Avant representatives at the indoor booth and to test drive the machines in the outdoor demonstration area. Those who had the chance to operate the Avant compact loaders loved how easy it was to drive and were impressed with the unique, modern design and new technology.
Avant loaders stand out from the competition because they offer an articulated design and hydrostatic 4-wheel drive, as well as the 100+ attachments. People at GIE+Expo were impressed by the great visibility, telescopic boom, and the fact that the machines are light and agile, while still being powerful.
Avant is planning for more industry-specific events in 2013 and is looking forward to introducing their machines to thousands of other people across the country. There are several videos on the Avant USA YouTube channel that show the machines in action with a variety of attachments. Anyone interested in learning more about the machines can visit www.AvantTecnoUSA.com or call 847-380-9822.
Avant Tecno Corporation was founded in 1991. Since then it has produced many innovative solutions in the field of multi-functional loaders and attachments. Product development coupled with a commitment to superior engineering has always been and will be one of the most important factors in Avant's success. Manufacturing, product development, sales and marketing are located in Ylöjärvi, Finland. In addition, Avant has its own subsidiary sales offices in Germany, UK, and now in the USA. Elsewhere in the world, Avants are sold through a competent and comprehensive importer-dealer network to over 40 countries. Here in North America, Avant products are available through Avant Tecno USA and our growing dealer network.

Water fight reaches 30 year mark
Posted by Kay Lynn Roberts-McMurray | Oct 18, 2019 | News, Top Stories | 1
Henry "Hank" Vogler speaks during public comment at a joint White Pine County Commission meeting with The Ely City Council to discuss and upcoming hearing Nov. 12 in Ely
KayLynn Roberts-McMurray
A special White Pine County Commission and Ely City Council meeting was held last Wednesday to discuss White Pine County's continuous efforts to protect the water as well as the land.
The battle began in 1989 and has continued on for decades, making this year the 30 year mark of this water war with Southern Nevada Water Authority.
The war?
SNWA's plans for a pipeline that would travel from White Pine County to Clark County as an additional water resource for Las Vegas if approved.
Several local residents stood up and spoke out about the proposed pipeline. Many were ranchers and farmers,who have relied on their land as an economic opportunity.
Henry "Hank" Vogler was first up during public comment. He said, "I live in north Spring Valley. Every morning I get up and I see where Southern Nevada Water Authority starts. They are the worst neighbors on this earth, very arrogant, bully culprits.
"They go to the BLM meetings with their entire coterie of lawyers, and the BLM is scared of them, and let them do anything they want. I do know this, our aquifers are going down, and if they want to spend 15 billion on a pipeline, they ought to spend that much money to open up and put more water into the recharge so we can remain whole.
"I think it's the biggest boondoggle, it's the biggest holocaust bar none. And I hope I get to live to see my words come true. It's only taken me 50 years to put a little success together and I would like to continue in White Pine County, I've been here for 35 years, and this is my home, and what time I've got left on this earth I'd like to be able to enjoy it."
Delaine Spilsbury, a Great Basin Water Network board member, said, "I want to congratulate the community on this gathering tonight, we got all these people together, it's the first time I've seen cooperation like this and I was born her 82 years ago."
Rick Spilsbury said, "I've been watching this for a while now, desalination is a better idea."
Several other residents spoke during public comment, all with similar comments, "don't let them take our water."
Kyle Roernik, executive director for the Great Basin Water Network, thanked everyone for attending.
"There has been undeniable opposition in this fight, from officials here and I think we are all here, to say keep up the work on that," he said. " The one thing we have seen is that we may not agree on everything, but one thing we can agree on is that the water grab is bad news for the future, and the lands and the resources of White Pine County. "
Roernik went on the explain how he was 2 years old when the Las Vegas Valley water district filed for the applications.
"They came in here and probably thought they were going to steam roll White Pine County," he said. "But they haven't done it and that's why we are going to be in court Nov. 12. and 13."
Roernik stressed the need for everyone to remain united around this issue, noting that White Pine should never be a water colony of Las Vegas. He thanked everyone again for all of the support and effort that the people of White Pine have made in this 30 year battle.
President of the Great Basin Water Network Abby Johnson thanked all of the elected officials and the public for attending the meeting.
"I have been the president since 2011," she said. "I am thrilled to be in the position of being able to pass the baton to the next generation. The most important thing that has happened? Thirty years, and no pipeline."
Johnson explained how her son was a year old when this started, and there still is no pipeline, exclaiming that's a big deal, and the thanks go to everyone in White Pine. The White Pine commission, present and past, and other elected officials, have pulled together, through thick and thin.
"We are upping our game, because we have Kyle on board and he is doing so much for all of us." Johnson said.
Simeon Herskovits. counsel for the Great Basin Water Network, explained the victories in the court, and the upcoming one in November. Johnson described Herskovits' efforts, noting he has been with the network since the start, how he has worked hard to win every fight, while thinking about every strategy to make the legal magic happen.
Herskovits said, "Where we are in the legal fight? What some of you may not know, is that we have won repeatedly in the courts, despite that we have had to continually go back before the state engineer and re-litigate if you will because SNWA applications for this big pipeline project.
"This last time, which was the fourth time we were in front of the state engineer. We received a ruling from the State Engineer, denying the SNWA's application of Spring, Cave, Dry Lake and Delamar Valleys. It's a great outcome, the courts have described as this is the standard of why, this is the law, and SNWA cannot produce the evidence to demonstrate that the water is actually available and that they can develop it without conflicting with higher appropriators.
"The State Engineer was unsatisfied, with having to deny the applications. We feel it's a reflection of political pressure, and SNWA's political allies. Engineer denied it but included in this ruling a argument as to why maybe the courts should be interpreting the law differently and changing the law so he could approve these applications."
The hearing on Nov. 12-13 will have six teams of lawyers. The county commission has done an exemplary job in resisting the temptations of the SNWA.
"The State Engineers will have their lawyers, SNWA will have their counsel, and the native American tribes will have counsel working with us. I hope people who are interested will come to the hearing. To be able to witness the process."
The hearing is scheduled for Nov. 12 at the White Pine County Courthouse, located at 801 Clark St, in Ely, at 9 a.m. in the District Courtroom.
Vindicating how strong the Great Basin Water Network and White Pine County's position has been, Herskovits notes he feels they are in a good position, being in line with the law, he is hoping they get a good outcome this time.
"This would be a huge victory for all us, you folks, and your allies," he said. "I'm here to let you know we have not let up. I want you to take some part for the 15 years we have been defeating them over and over, and lets see if we can't do it one more time."

I lived in Ely from 1945 until 1961, the year I graduated from White Pine High School. I spent 28 years in the Air Force, and never returned to Ely, except to visit. I am currently living in San Antonio, Texas. I have never been so disgusted with a political move as I have been with Southern Nevada's attempt to steal the water from White Pine and other counties. If Southern Nevada needs additional water, they should implement conservation efforts, and/or limit further population growth, or invest in desalination of sea water, and pipe in the water from the Pacific Ocean. The almighty dollar should not always rule and win. The leaders of Southern Nevada are bullies. I hope and pray that White Pine and other counties win this one.

[Source: EUREKALERT , John Murphy, newsbureau@mayo.edu] – Obesity is more than a cosmetic concern because it increases a persons risk for developing high blood pressure, diabetes and many other serious health problems. Its well understood that consuming more calories than you expend through exercise and daily activities causes weight gain. But with about one in every three American adults now considered obese, researchers are attempting to identify additional factors that affect a persons tendency to gain and retain excess weight. In the April issue of Mayo Clinic Proceedings, researchers from Mayo Clinic Arizona and Arizona State University examine the role that bacteria in the human gastrointestinal tract play in regulating weight and the development of obesity.
Known as gut microbiota, the trillions of bacteria that populate the human gastrointestinal tract perform a variety of chores. These friendly microbes help extract calories from what we eat, help store these calories for later use, and provide energy and nutrients for the production of new bacteria to continue this work.
According to John DiBaise, M.D., a Mayo Clinic Arizona gastroenterologist and lead author of the Mayo Clinic Proceedings article, several animal studies suggest that gut microbiota are involved in regulating weight and that modifying these bacteria could one day be a treatment option for obesity.
These results suggest that differences exist in the gut microbiota of obese versus lean mice, raising the possibility that the manipulation of gut microbiota could be a useful strategy for regulating energy balance in obese people, says Dr. DiBaise.
Although information on the link between gut microbiota and obesity in human subjects is more limited, the authors present some evidence supporting this connection. One study cited placed 12 obese participants in a weight-loss program for a year, randomly assigning them to either a fat-restricted or carbohydrate-restricted, low-calorie diet. Researchers noted distinct differences between lean and obese participants when they monitored the type and number of bacteria found in participants stool samples before and after the diet changes.
Dr. DiBaise says that much more research is needed to clarify a number of issues related to the relationship between the gut microbiota and obesity. Future studies need to establish whether the small changes in caloric extraction seen in recent studies can produce measurable weight differences in humans.

Benadryl Equals Placebo in Helping Infants Sleep
BALTIMORE -- Despite anecdotal evidence, a dose of the antihistamine Benadryl (diphenhydramine) at bedtime won't help infants sleep, reported investigators here.
BALTIMORE, July 10 -- Despite anecdotal evidence, a dose of the antihistamine Benadryl (diphenhydramine) at bedtime won't help infants sleep.
A trial testing the antihistamine in infants ages six months to 15 months was stopped early by a data safety monitoring committee because Benadryl was no more effective than placebo in helping the children to remain asleep during the night, according to Johns Hopkins researchers.
Many physicians and parents believe than antihistamines are an effective aid for children with sleep problems," Dan Merenstein, M.D., and colleagues, noted in the July issue of Archives of Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine.
"Unfortunately, this attitude is based on anecdote and studies of adult physiological interactions," rather than controlled clinical investigation in children, Dr. Merenstein and colleagues said. Dr. Merenstein is now at Georgetown University in Washington.
When the notion was tested in the so-called TIRED study -- a randomized, placebo-controlled trial with 44 infants and their parents -- Benadryl "was no more effective than placebo in reducing nighttime awakening or improving overall parental happiness with sleep for infants," the researchers reported.
Despite a lack of published studies in children younger than two, a 2003 study showed that of 671 primary care pediatricians in the U.S., 49% reported they had recommended in the previous six months using antihistamines for children age 0 to two years with sleep problems.
The TIRED study measured parental reports of improvement in the number of night awakenings that the parents needed to help the infant get back to sleep. The outcomes were assessed on days 15, 23, and 49 of the trial. Secondary outcomes were improved sleep during the two weeks before days 29 and 43, parental overall happiness with sleep, and improved sleep latency.
The study found:
At day 15, three parents in the placebo group and one in the Benadryl group reported fewer night awakenings needing parental aid. The difference was not statistically significant.
At days 23 and 49, five parents in the placebo group and none in the Benadryl group reported fewer night awakenings.
There were no significant differences in any of the secondary outcomes.
Interestingly, there was a trend for children in the Benadryl group to fall asleep more quickly than those in the placebo group, which might account for the belief that the medication improves sleep, the researchers said.
The study was stopped after the data safety monitoring committee monitoring committee said it would be difficult, if not impossible, to have a positive outcome: In order to reject the null hypothesis, the committee noted, another 16 participants would have been needed in each arm, with 15 of the 16 new participants in the Benadryl arm reporting an improvement, and none of those in the placebo arm.
The researchers used a dose of 1 mg/kg of body weight, which is at the low end of the range of recommended doses. Such a dose is commonly used, however, and in the absence of previous studies, the researchers erred on the side of safety, Dr. Merenstein and colleagues said.
At a higher dose, the drug may have a more sedating effect, they added.

Many of you are thinking that we are FINALLY diving into this guy's Top 20 modern Christmas songs. It's about time, since you made us suffer through 380 other songs by artists we still have no idea who they are. What can I say? I truly do dig all these different versions of the same song, song or hymn. Plus, I left off many other fun songs by artists, both known and obscure.
There are many great Christmas songs by the likes of Sting, Pet Shop Boys and Los Lobos, while my personal favorite seasonal novelty song was left off the list, the immortal "I Farted on Santa's Lap" by the appropriately named The Little Stinkers. I undersold the holiday work of Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash and Dolly Parton, while I acknowledge that Mariah Carey is the Queen of Christmas music we all better not sleep on Kelly Clarkson who has recorded two terrific Christmas albums in the past decade or so.
Perhaps, the thing I wanted to point out most of all is that you, the avid music listener, do NOT have to listen to the same small playlist, albums or radio version of popular Christmas music. There are many absolutely wonderfully fun and moving recent pop songs of holiday music that are totally being overlooked by radio programmers and algorithms. And, I want to bring these songs into the daylight, so some of you might seek them out and include them in your current or future holiday playlists.
Now, it's time to see just what holiday standards made my personal Top 20.
20. John Mellencamp – "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" (2007). When he recorded this songs, Mellencamp was at his career peak. He and his band had perfected his Hoosier mix of Appalachian country/folk instrument and Rolling Stones crunch. John and his band find the missing rock and roll aspect of this holiday classic.
19. Dolly Parton – "Hard Candy Christmas" (1984). This song only seems to improve with age. No one, absolutely no one, writes broken-hearted songs like Dolly does, and she couples the sentiment with Christmas in this should-be-a-classic.
18. The Band – "Christmas Must Be Tonight" (1975). Can we all agree that Robbie Robertson knows his way around song narratives? This long-overlooked Christmas song needs to become a modern classic. Robertson just nails the Christmas story perfectly in three minutes that must ministers can't make in a half-hour sermon.
17. Taylor Swift – "Christmas Tree Farm (Old Timey Version)" (2021). This song should have been all over radio when the original version was released two years ago. So, Taylor, whose been on a major roll re-recording back catalog, eschews the folky original to give this brilliant song a more traditional, Sixties-like production, turning the song into a timeless classic.
16. Band Aid – "Do They Know It's Christmas?" (1984). This song is ground zero for the MTV generation's obsession with, first, holiday songs, and, two, charity singles. By now, we all know how clunky and awkward the lyrics are, but everyone's hearts were in the right place. So, emotion won out in the end. Let me give a shout out to one of my all-time faves, Paul Weller, for his contribution (Put The Jam in the Rock Hall!).
15. Bobby Helms – "Jingle Bell Rock" (1957). Helms was a budding country artist in the Fifties when he wrote and recorded this modern yuletide classic. Like Mellencamp and me, Helms is a Hoosier, all the while maintaining a modest lifestyle in southern Indiana. Yet, his Christmas classic is everywhere each December, which continues to keep his estate financially secure.
14. Brenda Lee – "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" (1958). Here is yet another classic from the early days of rock and roll. The next time you listen to Brenda Lee's Christmas tune, think about her being in her early teens when she recorded this song. Some people are simply blessed with a gift. Brenda was blessed with two: first, her voice and, second, this song.
13. Cheech & Chong – "Santa Claus and His Old Lady" (1971). When I was a kid, Cheech & Chong's brand of drug-based humor was second only to Richard Pryor. But, their take on Santa's story is brilliantly hilarious. Unfortunately, this might have become something of a relic in the post-"Just Say No" days. But, what can you say when you discover that Santa's reindeer get their ability to fly from "magic dust." "A little for the reindeer, a little for Santa, a little more for Santa, a little more for Santa…" The Seventies truly were a more innocent and much different time.
12. The Regrettes – "Marshmallow World" (2016). Just as Darlene Love's version jumped from the mono car radio due to Phil Spector's production in 1963, The Regrettes neo-New Wave take on this classic jumps out from my smart speaker. This version is so fun that it was used in a Target commercial a few years ago. See? I am NOT totally stuck in the 70s/80s/90s.
11. Dan Fogelberg – "Same Old Lang Syne" (1980). Once again, this song only mentions in the opening line that Fogelberg ran into a past flame in a grocery store on a Christmas Eve. So, technically, it's probably not really a Christmas song. But, the holiday season is about reunions, so why not a couple of high school sweethearts getting reacquainted. It is a very touching song and just might be Dan's best moment. By the way, did you know this is a true story? A year ago, I read an article about the girl in the song. Her story is pretty cool. Check out the story: https://www.pjstar.com/story/entertainment/music/2020/12/14/dan-fogelberg-same-old-lang-syne/6494479002/
10. Elton John – "Step into Christmas" (1973). Elton was the MAN when he recorded this song. Now, it's become something of a modern Christmas classic. I will always associate this song with American Bandstand during their Christmas-themed shows during the 70s.
9. Stevie Wonder – "Someday at Christmas" (1967). This anti-war yuletide song has long been one of my all-time favorites as it combined socially-aware lyrics with Christmas themes. And Stevie was just beginning to discover his adult songwriter's voice on this song.
8. Billy Squier – "Christmas Is the Time to Say 'I Love You'" (1981). Squier was red-hot in 1981 and 1982. So, it was no wonder that he was invited to MTV's second on-air Christmas bash. This classic was recorded live in front of a bunch of drunk members of MTV's staff.
7. Bing Crosby & David Bowie – "Little Drummer Boy/Peace on Earth" (1977, released 1982). I remember hearing that Bing, my maternal grandfather's favorite singer who had passed away just two years earlier, was singing a duet with one of my favorite artists on his Christmas special, I knew I had to watch. What I did not know was that Bowie didn't want to sing "Little Drummer Boy," so he and Bing worked up the arrangement of this medley an hour before recording it. This song may be the most sentimental holiday song for me because of my grandpa.
6. Harry Simeone Chorale – "Little Drummer Boy" (1958, 1965). As a young boy, my parents would try to send me to bed early on Christmas Eve. So, for the next couple of hours, I would listen to my GE AM-only bedroom radio while reading books. It seemed as though the local radio station's last song every Christmas Eve night around their midnight sign-off would be this song. At first, I hated to hear it played, but as I got older I began to appreciate the vocal arrangements and this acapella hit began to grow on me. Now, it reminds me of those cold Christmas Eve nights as child anticipating Santa's arrival.
5. Daryl Hall & John Oates – "Jingle Bell Rock (Daryl's Version)" (1980). The duo was just beginning to exert their 80s dominance when they recorded two versions of this classic, with the versions sung by each man. When the songs were released, one version was pressed on red vinyl while the other one on green vinyl. Of course, since I am a HUGE fan of these guys, I own both. But, it is Daryl's version that radio has played over the years. But, to my ears, the "rock 'n' soul" duo out-did the original, especially when coupled with its cheesy parody video. Classics are both.
4. John & Yoko with The Plastic Ono Band – "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)" (1971). It's rare when a song works on multiple levels, but when someone can have a hit pop song that is a great protest song in addition to becoming a Christmas classic, you have a major piece of art. Lennon takes Wonder's sentiments and raises the bar. This song is eternal.
3. Mariah Carey – "All I Want for Christmas Is You" (1994). Give Mariah credit. She wrote a monster song, not just a monster Christmas song. This song was a holiday classic from the moment is was released. It is a perfect song, not just a perfect Christmas song. It contains musical nods to Motown and the 80s all the while feeling totally fresh, even 30 years later. Plus, the song has shot to number one on Billboard's Hot 100 each of the past three years. No other song has done that.
2. The Ronettes – "Sleigh Ride" (1963). This song is from arguably the greatest Christmas album ever recorded (A Christmas Gift to You from Phil Spector). This song is just terrific, from the horse sound effects to the driving rhythm of the Wrecking Crew's playing. Now, this album and song are considered to be classics. But, it did get off to an auspicious start as the album was released on the day that President Kennedy was assassinated. At least it has found an audience now.
1. Bruce Springsteen – "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town" (1975, released 1985). The Boss took the arrangement of The Crystals' version from the Phil Spector album and distilled it through his Born to Run-era romantic period to marry Christmas to modern rock music. This is Christmas music at its very best while Bruce takes the song to a whole other level in concert. This one has brought me much joy over the past 45 years, that I have passed on to my boys and, now, my grandchildren who must hear it when they enter our home.
And, there you have it. I know, I ranked "White Christmas" and "Do You Hear What I Hear?" lower. Well, who do I knock out of my Top 20? See? It' much harder than it looks.

Italy's Coronavirus Cases And Deaths Soar
Editor Huffington Post	 March 22, 2020
Italy's tally of coronavirus cases and deaths continues to soar, with officials on Saturday announcing new day-to-day highs: 793 dead and 6,557 cases.
The country, at the heart of western Europe's rampaging outbreak, now counts 53,578 known cases.
Across the Atlantic, New York state officials considered establishing temporary hospitals on college campuses and in New York City's main convention center in preparation for a possible onslaught of coronavirus patients, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Saturday.
Cuomo said the government is seeking to increase hospital bed capacity by 50 percent — up to 25,000 more beds. Officials have also identified 2 million protective masks to send to hot spots.
The state is reviewing four possible locations for temporary hospitals, which would be operated by the Army Corps of Engineers. The governor also said 1 million N-95 …continued .

Elon Musk may sell $21 billion Tesla stock after Twitter poll says 'Yes'; analysts warn of share price fall
This Twitter poll may turn out to be worth a whopping $21 billion, leading to the world's richest person Elon Musk selling 10% from his Tesla shares
Written by Surbhi Jain
November 8, 2021 4:44:30 pm
Today, Tesla shares will open for trade for the first time following Elon Musk's Twitter poll result. (File)
This Twitter poll may turn out to be worth a whopping $21 billion, leading to the world's richest person Elon Musk selling 10% from his Tesla shares. About 58 per cent of respondents voted 'Yes' to Elon Musk's Twitter poll, asking users whether he should offload 10% of his Tesla stake. Elon Musk alluded to the ongoing discourse about taxes on unrealised gains, adding that the only way he could pay taxes is by selling the stock. After the voting ended, Musk said "I was prepared to accept either outcome".
Today, Tesla shares will open for trade for the first time following Elon Musk's Twitter poll result. According to Reuters calculations, Elon Musk holds 170.5 million Tesla shares as of 30 June 2021, and selling 10 per cent would be worth close to $21 billion based on Friday's closing price.
Will Tesla stock fall when it opens for trade today?
In a Twitter thread, Frank Holmes, CEO & CIO of USFunds, cautioned about the fall in the Tesla stock. Holmes also warned that taxing the unrealized gains could trigger a stock market crash or stifle long-term equity investing. "Success is penalized plus harmed which would change risk-taking and capital formation," he added.
Tesla stock nearly doubles in 6 months
In the previous session, Tesla shares ended 0.64 per cent down at $1222.09. As of 8 November 2021, Tesla's famed CEO Elon Musk stood at first place with $338 billion net worth. In the last one month, Tesla shares have rallied 56 per cent, while on a six months basis, it has nearly doubled, surging 95 per cent. So far this year, Tesla Inc has rallied 67.46 per cent to $1,222.09.
In the same replies thread, Peter Schiff, Chief Economist & Global Strategist, Europac, said that from a diversification and valuation perspective the sale makes a lot of sense. "The fact that you'll have to pay taxes on the proceeds however is not a net benefit to society," Schiff said. He added saying that the public would be better served if Musk wisely invests that money rather than the government wasting it.
Elon Musk, the world's richest person, tweeted: 'Much is made lately of unrealized gains being a means of tax avoidance, so I propose selling 10% of my Tesla stock'. In the subsequent tweet, Musk added saying that he will abide by the results of this poll, whichever way it goes, and would offload 10 per cent of his Tesla stock if users approved the proposal. Musk also added that he does not take cash salary or bonus from anywhere, and only has stock. Therefore, the only way for him to pay taxes personally is to sell stock.
US Senator from Oregon Ron Wyden, who floated the tax proposal, said: "Whether or not the world's wealthiest man pays any taxes at all shouldn't depend on the results of a Twitter poll."It's time for the Billionaires Income Tax."
Another Twitter user Erik Brynjolfsson, Director Stanford Digital Economy Lab, (who is a professor and author too), said that Elon Musk's tweet shows how easy it would be for most wealthy people to pay capital gains periodically, the way ordinary wage earners currently pay income tax.
Elon Musk may have to repay some of his loan obligations
In the third-quarter Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) 10-Q filing this year, Tesla said "If the price of our common stock were to decline substantially, Musk may be forced by one or more of the banking institutions to sell shares of Tesla common stock to satisfy his loan obligations if he could not do so through other means. Any such sales could cause the price of our common stock to decline further".
In September this year, during a speech on stage at the Code Conference in Beverly Hills, California, Elon Musk had said when his stock options expire at Tesla, his marginal tax rate will be over 50% and that he was already planning to sell soon. "I have a bunch of options that are expiring early next year, so … a huge block of options will sell in Q4 — because I have to or they'll expire," CNBC quoted Musk as saying. CNBC also reported that Tesla CEO Elon Musk faces a tax bill of more than $15 billion in the coming months on stock options, making a sale of his Tesla stock this year likely regardless of the Twitter vote.

An Essay on Elocution: With Elucidatory Passages from Various Authors, to ...
By John Hanbury Dwyer

So aware were the ancients of the impetus which utterance gave to gesture, that they frequently called pronunciation action. Yet action is the last and least of its parts, which are, mind, that enables us to invent, memory, the repository of our own thoughts and those of others, imagination, which imparts brilliancy to our language, disposition or arrangement, which places our matter in a proper point of view, utterance or pronunciation, which gives effect to our invention, feeling, which gives it force, then action.
It must be allowed that in the time of the ancients, action had more influence in eloquence than at the present time.

zens.
Eloquence has frequently been objected to, as having a tendency to bewilder the understanding by dressing fiction in the garb of truth; but admitting that to be the case, are we to argue the exception against the general rule? To decry gratory because an abuse of it may occur, would be as absurd as to find fault with Christianity, because some, not following its precepts, use the semblance of it hypocritically, and as a cloak for their own selfish and wicked purposes.
As well may we abuse the blessed sun which sheds life, and light, and lustre all around, because the intenseness of his rays sometimes engenders putridity and pestilence.
For nought so vile that on the earth doth live,
But to the earth some special good doth give;
Nor aught so good but, strain'd from that fair use,
Revolts from true birth, stumbling on abuse." Such objections generally spring from minds incapable of conceiving the inexpressible delights which flow from eloquence, delights which do not rest merely in being capable of comprehending and feeling the orations of a Demosthenes, a Cicero, a Curran, or the senatorial harangues of a Chatham, a Burke, a Fox, a Pitt, a Sheridan, without reference to all the rest, whose names alone would fill a volume, but in the highly fraught mental enjoyment of speaking peace and pardon to, and smoothing the pillow of the dying, and perhaps before desponding sinner; of advocating the cause of defrauded orphanage, or unprotected widowtion of its rights; of unlocking the stores of affluence for the godlike purpose of drying the tears of penury; of vindicating our brethren and ourselves, and of upholding the religion of our Maker against the dark and self immolating doctrines of the pitiable unbeliever. Who can reflect upon such advantages, and not exult that Providence, in its munificence, has strewed that sweet and pleasant flower in the probationary and thorny path of wandering man?
Were the Author asked what oratory is, he would answer, mind-but he would be qualifiedly understood. This bears an equivocal meaning, something similar to that which the great father of eloquence wished to inculcate when being asked what oratory was, he answer: ed action. So aware were the ancients of the impetus which utterance gave to gesture, that they frequently called pronunciation action. Yet action is the last and least of its parts, which are, mind, that enables us to invent, memory, the repository of our own thoughts and those of others, imagination, which imparts brilliancy to our language, disposition or arrangement, which places our matter in a proper point of view, utterance or pronunciation, which gives effect to our invention, feeling, which gives it force, then action.
It must be allowed that in the time of the ancients, action had more influence in eloquence than at the present time.

into the other, i. e. of not using a sufficiency of action to give effect to their subjects. This objection may have some foundation in fact, but if they err in this particular, it is certainly on the side of safety and de
corum.
It was the intention of the writer to have marked the examples in this book with italics, but he was deterred from doing so by the objections which upon deliberation seemed to oppose such a plan, especially when Dr. Blair is with him, an author who has done so much for the eloquence of the English language, and who must remain a source of admiration to the enlightened, and of instruction to those who seek for Rhetorical and Belles Lettres information.
NOTE.—The above tribute to departed merit, is not invidiously paid with a view of derogating from the merits of subsequent and powerful writers on the same subject; but in justice to the pioneer who cleared the soil, and rendered it receptive of the high cultiva. tion since bestowed upon it.
