Examining processes
Phil Spencer: Xbox has changed some things about working with Activision
Spencer declined to further explain what has changed, as he's not interested in "virtue-shaming" companies.

Head of Xbox Phil Spencer noted in an interview with The New York Times that some things about the relationship of Xbox with Activision Blizzard have changed.
Spencer did not explain exactly what these changes were, adding that he isn't interested in "virtue-shaming" companies.
Activision Blizzard is still facing a lawsuit regarding allegations of sexual misconduct and workplace harassment.
The initial lawsuit against Activision Blizzard and the escalation surrounding the event rapidly grew into one of the biggest gaming stories of 2021. Multiple leaders in the gaming industry, such as Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Jim Ryan and head of Xbox Phil Spencer, expressed concern regarding the situation in emails to employees. In an interview with The New York Times, Spencer further explained that Xbox has changed some things regarding how it works with Activision, though he didn't offer any other details.
"The work we do specifically with a partner like Activision is something that, obviously, I'm not going to talk publicly about," Spencer explained when asked about his prior comments. "We have changed how we do certain things with them, and they're aware of that. But I also — this isn't about, for us as Xbox, virtue-shaming other companies. Xbox's history is not spotless."
Spencer notably referenced an incident at GDC 2016, in which scantily-clad dancers were hired at a party. Spencer added that "At Xbox, I know who I'm accountable for here in terms of the business and the operations. It's my teams here, my management chain. And that's the thing that we continue to focus on, is to try to grow."
Moving away from Activision Blizzard, Spencer touched on other topics like the rise of the Metaverse, noting that he sees it as a natural extension of gaming.
"I think what we learned early in gaming is if you put players together in a virtual space, you can, one, level the playing field for everyone. Everybody feels equal. But yet, we can have our own identity, what my screen name is, what my character looks like," he says.
Spencer also confirmed that the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S are selling faster than any prior Xbox consoles, though demand continues to outstrip supply due to shortages caused by the pandemic, a shortage analysts predict won't get better in 2022.
"Supply is actually as big as it's ever been. It's that demand is exceeding the supply for all of us. At this point, we've sold more of this generation of Xboxes, which is Xbox Series X and S, than we had any previous version of Xboxes. So it's our job to get the supply there to meet that demand," Spencer says.

[ARCHIVED] Board Joins Recorder in Response to Attorney General's Interim Election Report
Maricopa County leaders are correcting the record about the 2020 election yet again. This time, it was the state's top prosecutor who needed a fact check.
The Board of Supervisors voted today to join Recorder Stephen Richer in sending a letter to Attorney General Mark Brnovich that details how his April 6 report "omitted pertinent information, misrepresented facts, and cited distorted data" to sow doubt in county election processes, equipment, and staff.
READ THE LETTER
"The Attorney General's April 6 'interim report' (as if that's a normal prosecutorial thing) and his subsequent remarks on Steve Bannon's program are remarkable departures for the man who eight days after the election said on Fox News that the election obviously wasn't stolen, the man who chose not to file a lawsuit in the aftermath of the election, and the man who said the issue with Sharpies was 'overblown,'" said Recorder Richer. "If he wants to play politics and lie about the 2020 election, fine, he'll join a long list other candidates who lie in public and then in private mock the stolen election theory. But he shouldn't do this with the powers of the state, especially the prosecutorial power. That's wrong on so many levels."
"I appreciate the Recorder's leadership in sending a strong message to the Attorney General. The AG's report was inaccurate and out of line, and it was important to me that we point out those falsehoods and share facts with voters," said Board of Supervisors Chairman Bill Gates, District 3. "As I've said before, the attempt to undermine democratic elections puts at risk everything else we take for granted in a free country, and I will not stand for it."

God doesn't want us to live our lives clinging to the side of the pool. He came to give us life, and life to the full!
We went to a swimming pool today, and I watched her, the one that used to call me mommy, the one who used to jump headlong into the water, splash, and giggle with her sisters, forget that she knew how to swim. It's been many months since she's been to this place... can she remember? Can I remember?
Just like her, a big, broken piece of my flesh is clinging to the side of the pool, longing for the past and the way I thought I wanted life to be. Who is God when we are clinging to the side? He is the one who comes after us, right up to the very edge of our tears and takes our hand and pulls us back to the middle without ever letting go. "Remember, love?" He whispers, "You can swim. I taught you how to swim." Stiffened in panic and doubt, I relax and lean into Him and the floating comes back easily. The side is not nearly as marvelous as it is out in the middle of the pool, in the middle of risking it all, in the safe embrace of my Savior.
I remember when I wasn't ready to move to Uganda. I remember when I wasn't ready to kiss the people I loved the most goodbye. I remember when I didn't have enough money to sponsor just ten children, and I remember when I wasn't old enough to be a mother, and I remember when I didn't know how to parent. I remember when I couldn't cook for fifteen people and when I didn't want to share my house and my things and my life with sick people and addicts. I remember when I was afraid of the slum community that now holds hundreds of friends and when I was terrified that my daughter would never walk and when I was scared that we would never heal after tragic loss. And I remember that God kept all His promises, every last one, in His perfect time.
He doesn't want us to live our lives clinging to the side of the pool, paralyzed. He came to give us life, and life to the full!

Q: Identifying OS-dependent invalid filename characters in Java 6 (not 7!) Right now we've got a hard-coded set of characters that we check for -- :*?"<>|/\ -- basically the ones Windows complains about. However, running on Linux, this is way too restrictive.
I know that in Java 7 NIO, the Path class is supposed to be smart enough to check this in an OS-dependent way, and throw an InvalidPathException if you specify an invalid filename. But we're not running Java 7. Is there an reliable way to do this in Java 6?
(Note that new File("foo:bar") in Windows does appear to work. But what you actually get if, for instance, try to use a FileWriter to write to your new File, is an empty file called foo. exists() on the File will return true at that point, but it's more or less lying.)

A: For lack of anything clever, here's what I came up with -- the meat of it, anyway.
Strictly speaking, it's probably the combination of OS and filesystem that determines the invalid character set, but for my purposes a hack based simply on the OS seems to be good enough.
Also, these invalid character sets are empirical, not official. The Windows invalid characters are taken from the error message you get in XP when you try to rename a file on an NTFS volume to something invalid. For Unix/Linux, I think you can get away with pretty much anything except a path separator (please correct me if you know better). For MacOS, whether : or / is the path separator seems to depend on the filesystem -- for my purposes it's safest just to include both. (And hope they're not mounting FAT or NTFS.)
List<Integer> invalidIndices = new LinkedList<Integer>();

String invalidChars;
if (OS.isWindows()) {
    invalidChars = "\\/:*?\"<>|";
} else if (OS.isMacOSX()) {
    invalidChars = "/:";
} else { // assume Unix/Linux
    invalidChars = "/";
}

char[] chars = filename.toCharArray();
for (int i = 0; i < chars.length; i++) {
    if ((invalidChars.indexOf(chars[i]) >= 0) // OS-invalid
        || (chars[i] < '\u0020') // ctrls
        || (chars[i] > '\u007e' && chars[i] < '\u00a0') // ctrls
    ) {
        invalidIndices.add(i);
    }
}

return invalidIndices;

Note: this is using the SwingX OS utility class to determine the operating system, but if you don't have that, it doesn't do anything magical either -- just parses System.getProperty("os.name").

A: File.getCanonicalPath() will do this without requiring a file to be made.
Just loop over each possible character and store the result.

A: What about looking at Java7's sources and "backport" a small portion of that (for every OS you have to support) to Java6?
There should be a class for every system that extends Path. The sole source I could find quickly using Google CodeSearch(my query) is GaePath.java, which implements the path's thing for GaeVFS. I don't think GaeVFS interests you, but Java7's functions doing that for Win32/UNIX/... must be available somewhere (probably here or there).

A gift subscription of AWAD
with Anu Garg
About 12 years ago when I moved from the East Coast to Washington state, a reporter for The Seattle Times stopped by. After the interview, she wrote down the name of a couple of cities in Washington state (Spokane and Puyallup) and asked me to pronounce their names. I said SPO-kayn and poo-YAHL-up (instead of spo-KAN and pyoo-AL-uhp) and she smiled. She had proved the obvious: I was new to the state.
When I see an email that closes with "Respectfully," I can immediately tell it's from someone in the military. You can think of that as a shibboleth that identifies the sender of the note as someone in uniform.
What shibboleth do you know? It could be one that's specific to your family, neighborhood, city, workplace, profession, or beyond. Share them at contest@wordsmith.org. Be sure to include your location (city/state/country). Selected responses will each receive one of these prizes:
o A signed copy of any of my books
o A copy of the word game One Up!
o The T-shirt "AWAD to the wise is sufficient"
Send your responses by this Friday. Selected entries will be featured in this weekend's AWADmail. (See contest results)
(SHIB-uh-lith, -leth)
1. The use of a word or pronunciation that distinguishes a group of people.
2. A slogan, belief, or custom that's now considered outmoded.
According to the Book of Judges in the Bible, the Gileadites used the Hebrew word shibboleth (ear of corn; stream) to identify the fleeing Ephraimites who couldn't pronounce the sh sound. 42,000 Ephraimites were slaughtered. Earliest documented use: 1382.
Some massacres in which the pronunciation of a word played a key part:
Parsley Massacre
Battle of the Golden Spurs
Sicilian Vespers
The meaning of the term has now widened. It could be applied to anything, not just the pronunciation of a word, that distinguishes people. It could be a way of eating, dressing, etc.
"Kurdish Iraq's two dominant parties, the Kurdistan Democratic Party and the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, fought a civil war in the 1990s. Ordinary words turned into shibboleths. Using the word afrat for 'woman' revealed a link with the KDP; the PUK used the word zhin. Today, the two parties share power. This has resulted in an attempt at linguistic fusion that makes Ferhadi shudder: whenever political leaders refer to women, they say 'afrat and zhin' to show that they have overcome old divisions."
Sophie Hardach; 'Professor, You're Dividing My Nation'; The Chronicle of Higher Education (Washington, DC); Jun 23, 2013.
"Osborne's allies say his urge to win is greater than his eagerness to parrot Thatcherite shibboleths."
Rafael Behr; The Politics Column; New Statesman (London, UK); Jun 28, 2013.

What to remember from Google's GDPR fine?
The French supervisory authority, the Commission Nationale de l'Informatique et des Libertés (CNIL), has imposed a fine of no less than € 50 million on Google for infringing the GDPR, in particular for a lack of transparency, insufficient information to the data subject and for the lack of valid consent to personalise advertising. What should companies remember from this CNIL decision?
Following complaints from two interest groups, the CNIL had created a Google account in September 2018 when configuring a mobile phone with the Android operating system. Two infringements were found by CNIL.
The CNIL notes as a first infringement that essential information, such as the purposes for which the data are processed, the duration of the retention of the data or the categories of data used to personalise advertising, are too widely distributed in various documents, which contain buttons and links that must be clicked to access additional information.
According to the CNIL, relevant information is only accessible after a number of steps, sometimes with a maximum of five or six actions. This is the case, for example, when a user wants to have complete information about collecting their information for the purpose of personalising advertisements or geolocation.
When creating a Google account, according to the CNIL, the purposes described are too general and vague, as well as the data processed for these different purposes. The user would therefore not be able to understand the scope of the processing carried out by Google. These are large and significant because of the number of services offered (at least 20) and the quantity and nature of the data processed and combined.
The second infringement concerns the user's consent to the personalisation of advertising. According to the CNIL, when creating a Google account, it is not sufficiently clear that consent is the legal basis rather than Google's legitimate interest. The CNIL states that the consent, on the one hand, is not sufficiently informed and, on the other hand, that the consent obtained is not specific and unambiguous.
According to the CNIL, the user does not sufficiently understand to what he consents because the information is spread over several documents. As a result, the user would not be aware of the scope of his consent which covers a multitude of services, such as Google search, Youtube, Google home, Google maps, Playstore, and Google photos.
When creating a Google account, the user can change a number of parameters, but only after the user has clicked on "more options" before creating an account. Moreover, the display modes of personalised ads are preset, while the GDPR requires a positive action from the user in order to speak of a specific and unambiguous consent.
Before the CNIL initiated its investigation, it first examined its competence. One of the advantages of the GDPR for companies, and especially for multinationals, is the so-called one-stop shop mechanism. According to this mechanism, in the case of cross-border processing, companies are only subject to the supervisory authority of their main establishment in the EU. The purpose of the one-stop shop mechanism is to avoid conflicts between decisions of supervisory authorities.
Like several other multinationals, Google has its headquarters in Ireland. This would mean that only the Irish supervisory authority would be competent for Google's cross-border processing in the EU. In principle, the Irish authority should be Google's interlocutor.
However, the CNIL states that the Irish establishment did not have any decision-making power over Google's cross-border processing activities at the time CNIL initiated its proceedings. It is therefore competent, as are all the other national supervisory authorities, according to the CNIL.
Companies whose business model is based on personalising advertising have a particular responsibility to strictly adhere to the principles of the GDPR, especially with regard to transparency and information.
As regards the applicability of the one-stop shop mechanism, the moment of initiation of the procedure by the supervisory authority is decisive.
For the time being, it remains to be seen how Google will react to this GDPR fine, but in the meantime you can read the decision of the CNIL in full here (in French).

So let's take it to number five. Sansa. Orchestrating Peter Bayliss is e. I mean, this was such that is such a great moment. And Ryan loves Peter banished, So he's very sad about this, but it's like I don't feel like a lot of us were shocked at this moment. We were afraid that Aria was the one that Sandra was going to kill, and it was because because the sisters have been at each other. But because Santa was sort of raised under SERC and raised under Peter bail ish, you know, she is able to pull off this huge manipulation on top of someone who raised her how to do it. Yeah, you know, it was a pretty pretty unfair trialing. And, uh, you know, if you guys watch the show or listen to the show regularly, you know how much of a fan of little finger I am? So this is this is tough for me, Thio Santa has definitely had fierce moments. And but, man, this was This was one that I lamented. Definitely not at all. I was like, yes, well deserved. Don't try to rape her and, you know, do everything that you did marry her off to Ramsey and didn't try to rape anybody, though. Debatable. He hadn't raped the energy at the very least. And there was a kiss. That was kind of awkward. Uh, yeah. I was so happy when this happened, and I totally didn't see it coming. I thought that Aria she was gonna kill Aria for sure. So this was a great moment. And I love that you put it on here because not only was a great moment for Sansa, but it was a great moment of two women uniting instead of going against each other, which we way too often see in this life and on TV. So kudos to them for showing what can happen when women unite murder, kill them all, but like necessary murderers. It was It was pretty hard core. I thought it. Lee Littlefinger is gonna get out of it somehow, like he always does, or at least be arrested and put in a cell or something. Hoping I was hoping you were hoping, but it didn't know. Well, I mean, just songs as a character. I know a lot of people had seen her as kind of whiny and weak for so long, but she really came into her own. I mean, she survived Ramsey, which is a woman's worst nightmare. Somebody like that literally an animal of a man, which we see quite often. Unfortunately, yes, but you know, songs that you've got to give it up to her because she's come a long way and I feel like she's really going to continue to be fierce. This is just the beginning, for she's had, like, the greatest story arc out of any of the characters e that I just feel like she started out kind of being like this ditzy like, Oh, yeah, I really like King Joffrey And yeah, he's great. And, yeah, I'm sure my father was beheaded. But I still love King Joffrey. And I'm like, what? And then you just see, like, this progression of her character becoming like, more and more badass and fierce and, um, kind of being somewhat propelled by this revenge motif. Um, not not in the same way that Aria is, like, not to that degree. But we kind of see like this this growth within her she might jump on board with Definitely and you know, Naz in the chat is saying his favorite sounds a moment was unleashing the hounds on Ramsey. And I thought, you know, that was amazing. That was sweet revenge. Thanks for bringing that up. That was an amazing moment. I think that we all loved as well. Let's get into moment for any time. Danny says drug car. I mean, this is a picture of crassness, you know, the slave driver. And, you know, this was really I think, the first time that she ever used her dragons Thio, you know, kill a slave master or anyone. And was it in? There was in the house of the undying with very little baby dragon. Okay, Cars. And she burned the the thing. What is it called? The mask. But not a person. You know, talking about her kill. You remember she was chained up. That guy, this Harry guy who looked like a ghost? Yeah, totally for his name. But he's one of these in Qarth. It was in Qarth, and he was one of the He was like e look like Nosferatu, Remember? Exactly. And you know what? I didn't I didn't. Now I remember. But I didn't then because I just felt like this was really the first time when she was showing like a crowd like that was like a private and she was saving her life in that moment of her e guess that's what kind of triggered her to know, though. And it's also important that she had that power. But in this scene, I remember when she did this, I was just, like, blown away. And I actually had crassness. Come on. Our show this season. Yeah, I know him. He does cross fit. And I used to be a huge and across it hurt myself. I'm sorry. I'm still fierce. Yes, you are. Thank you. But anyway, I just remember this moment really making me get on board with generous. I wasn't sure for a while, but then at this moment when she, like, used fire er and blood for good, I was just like, yeah, and I really got on board with her. So that's why I chose this moment. But there are so many, obviously, the fact that she just birthed dragons. Huge. She Yeah. Anytime she says to caress, and she could say it with just such a such a just a position because she'll just say Just say a word, a simple word and softly and calmly. But then all hell breaks loose s so it's really you just know it's gonna be You can sit back, relax and enjoy Cem Cem Great a destruction When she says that word e just feel like like I said earlier, people do see her as like this messiah figure who rose from the ashes. And I think that's a lot of the reason why a lot of people have gotten behind her because she's like a leader that's easy to stand behind. Well, and the cool thing. Did you all read any of the books? Yeah, we read part of okay in the first book. It's such a cool scene because those people, the dothraki it first did not want to follow her at all. Or like No, this is bullshit. I'm not following a woman. There's no Cally. See what the hell? And then when she walks out of the flame, they all bow to the ground and go, my queen, my queen. So she's just such a symbol of female empowerment. For me on DWhite can really happen when you own who you truly are

In the face of Beijing's dauntingly pricey property market, a man must make sacrifices if he doesn't want to live in a yurt. For this guy, it meant parting with 283 pairs of Nike Jordan sneakers, a collection he'd acquired over a span of 20 years.
The 30-year-old man was able to pawn off his Jordans in Beijing for one million yuan, all of which he plans on using to put a down-payment on an apartment before he gets married, Legal Evening News reports.
The shoes were valued at 1.8 million yuan, according to staff at the pawn shop. The owner plans on raising enough money to redeem the shoes in the next two months.


When a component is removed from the tree, onRemove is called on it and all its children, so they can do cleanup. When a component is added to the page, there is no similar call that could do initializations.
Note: onInitialize sounds similar, but is actually rather different: onInitialize is called exactly once, the very first time the component is added to the page's component tree. It is basically a delayed constructor to allow superclasses to depend on (abstract) methods implemented by subclasses while giving the subclass's constructor a chance to run.
onInitialize is not called again if a component is removed from the hierarchy and then added again. This happens, for example, in wizards, and in pages that replace panels to show different views.
A good example is FencedFeedbackPanel, with the issue reported in WICKET-5265: in onRemove, the FFP clears the fence marker in its fence component. Stepping forward in a wizard where a step contains such an FFP causes onRemove to be called. Going backwards then re-adds the step panel and its FFP, but the fence is now broken, because the FFP has no way of knowing that it was re-added.
I tried working around it using onConfigure and onBeforeRender. But due to the way Wicket traverses the component tree, it is not always guaranteed that this will be called soon enough, i.e. before an outer FFP has already "stolen" the feedback messages that should have been protected by the fence.
whenever a component or one of its parents is added to the page component tree, i.e. when it gets a connection to the page.
never before the parent components are initialized.
If a component is added to a container before the container is added to the page, this method should NOT be called - only when there is a path to the page.
I have an implementation of this that is tested and fixes the problem in WICKET-5265. I'll push it to a branch as soon as I can. It's currently based on wicket-6.x but is easily portable to 7. It's not an API break, since only non-abstract methods are added.

Monday Motivation: The View From The Top
Monday Motivation, 6.22.2020
Written by: Ben Rogers
Every Monday, The Rogers-Long Team meets for one of its two weekly meetings. The Monday meeting always ends with "Monday Motivation" in which a few minutes are spent listening to one team member presenting a quote, a quick reading from a book, a scene from a movie, or anything else they find motivating to provide a "spark" to the whole team on a Monday morning.
On July 1st, 2014 The Rogers-Long Team was born when Kevin Long agreed to work as a Buyers' Agent with me. Fast forward six years and we have built a wonderful team of seven people. Transaction Coordinator Stacy started in July 2015, Agent Kaitlyn in December 2016, Agent Mike in February 2018, Client Care Coordinator Dawn in September 2018, and Agent Ashley in October 2019.
There are a lot of real estate teams that will bring on individuals just for the sake of adding more bodies to the squad. More breathing humans that have a real estate license = more money in the eyes of many leaders. Not for us. We have grown very methodically and purposely. We want to build a team that makes each other and those around us better.
There's no real way to calculate exactly what makes the perfect RLT teammate, but it's one of those things where when you know, you just know. I've always wanted to work alongside people that have a great attitude. Sometimes this means smiles, sometimes this means joy, sometimes it means thankfulness, and sometimes it means drive. The best way I can explain it is this: although I am typically what you'd call a "glass half-full" type of person, I don't really care if your glass is half-full or if your glass is half-empty. I just care that you're prepared to pour that glass out and not only buy in, but lock in to what we're trying to accomplish. I'm very proud to say that we have seven locked in people on this team who will pour it all out for their teammates, their families, and their clients. In short, this team makes people better. And as the leader, I must encourage that and always keep a bird's eye view from the top to be sure we're always acting on that.
On May 13th we welcomed our daughter Elliott into the world and just like my teammates, I want her to make others better, too. She's certainly made me better already! Everything they say about having a baby is true – it is the best moment of your life and you'll be more impressed with your wife than you've ever been before! We've been lucky that she's been a good baby – she sleeps well, eats well, and appeases her mother with some good cuddles. There really hasn't been any unexpected hurdles – so far – taking care of a newborn. We both felt well prepared for a little less sleep, some uncontrollable crying, and never-ending diaper changes.
I already had a lot of respect for moms, but my respect has gone through the roof experiencing Emma take care of a baby first-hand. As a mother, it must be a "No Days Off" approach and boy has she done that! I'm very proud of her.
As a father, I feel it is my responsibility to support my wife by taking a few things off her shoulders and one of those has been the early morning feeds and diaper changes. Being up at 3am each morning to do just that, I've had a lot of silent time to think and shortly after Elliott was born, I decided to write her a little poem. I've always had a lot of thoughts to get on paper and at times it's difficult to bring them all together. This, though, was easy. And I'm sure it had something to do with that cute baby staring up at me. While feeding her a bottle, I had a physical view from the top. But as a father and as a role model for her upbringing, I must have a metaphorical view from the top. I must keep things in perspective for her.
I've read this to Elliott every night so far since I finished it. Although I'm confident that if she becomes just half the person her mother is she'll be more than fine, hopefully this poem encourages her to be the best she can be and above all else, make those around her better. The poem goes like this:
Actions speak louder than words, Elliott.
Be respectful in what you say, kind in what you do. Do unto others as you would have them done to you.
Listen to understand, not to reply. With a little curiosity, your limit's the sky.
Days will be long, sometimes you'll be tired. To whom much is given, much is required.
You're confident, you're smart, you're driven, although…those are just words, you'll reap what you sow.
Lead by example, be generous, have fun. Make those around you better, that's how it's done.
Life can be tough, sometimes you'll want to stop – but when climbing a mountain, think of the view from the top!

Official suspended, accused of harassing transgender student
CHARLESTON, W.Va. – A West Virginia high school assistant principal who told a transgender male student "you freak me out" and questioned his choice of bathrooms has been suspended — a move the American Civil Liberties Union said didn't go far enough.
Assistant Principal Lee Livengood of Liberty High School in Clarksburg was suspended with pay after a meeting Tuesday with Harrison County school administrators, news outlets reported. The suspension runs through the end of the semester on Friday, when a holiday break begins.
The American Civil Liberties Union's West Virginia chapter called the four-day suspension "not sufficient." In a statement, the ACLU said the county school district "needs to make significant changes to its culture," including best-practice policies and training for dealing with transgender students and issues.
County schools Superintendent Mark Manchin didn't return telephone messages seeking comment.
Fifteen-year-old student Michael Critchfield said in an interview Monday night that he was traumatized by the Nov. 27 incident in a school boys' bathroom.
According to Critchfield, the school's band was preparing to take an afterschool bus trip to Morgantown to watch a performance at West Virginia University. Critchfield said he went to the bathroom and checked to see if anyone was standing at a urinal before he went into a stall.
Livengood then opened the bathroom door and asked if any students were in the stall. Critchfield replied, and when he left the stall, Livengood was standing in the bathroom doorway and blocked Critchfield from leaving.
Critchfield recalled Livengood repeatedly yelling, "Why are you in here? You shouldn't be in here."
Critchfield replied it was his legal right to use that bathroom. He said Livengood used improper pronouns when referring to Critchfield and challenged him to use a urinal to prove that he was a boy.
"I felt really degraded and discriminated against," Critchfield added.
Critchfield said other students had heard screaming coming from the bathroom and told a chaperone, who saw both Critchfield and Livengood walk out.
According to Critchfield, Livengood then said, "Not going to lie. You freak me out."
Critchfield said school "should feel like a safe place. Kids like me should never have to go through anything like this. At the end of the day all I wanted was to feel welcome."
ACLU West Virginia executive director Joseph Cohen called it "a life or death issue." The American Academy of Pediatrics published a study earlier this year showing 51 percent of trans male adolescents had attempted suicide.
"The stakes couldn't really be higher here," Cohen said. "It's past time that West Virginia schools take LGBTQ issues seriously."
Critchfield's mother, Caroline Critchfield, said the incident infuriated her.
"As a parent, that is my child that you are talking to," she said. "His job was to provide safety, to protect my son while he was in school. Not bully. Not badger. Not to humiliate. Not to tear someone down. Not cause phobia. Not cause discrimination against him. What is this teaching our students?"

Election Reflections: How to Fix Our Unfriendly Politics
by Patrick Hare | Mar 15, 2016 | Feature | 2 comments
Well, this year we vote. At some point, perhaps in the early morning hours of the day after the election, perhaps not for several days, we will find out who has been selected by our Electoral College system to serve as President for the next four years. I expect that the winner will not fulfill all the promises they have made. Nor will their presidency be as apocalyptic as the prophets of doom have predicted. Both of these candidates have virtues that are worthy of our admiration, and weaknesses that merit our concern. Nonetheless, based on the deluge of Facebook posts by my friends, I expect that while somewhere around a third of you will be ecstatic over the result, another third will be bitterly disappointed.
But this post isn't really about who is President for the next four years. We'll all survive that. This post is about our friends, our neighbors, the stranger we see on the street, the person driving in front of you whose bumper sticker you disagree with. It's about all of us. For no matter who wins this election, the last election, the next election — most of us will still be here. There is an old saying that we get the government we deserve. And frankly, based on the vitriol and animosity I have seen in social media surrounding this year's presidential campaign, we don't deserve much.
The Facebooking of Politics
I have heard friends accuse friends of being bigots and racists because of who they are voting for. I have seen friends accuse friends of being "uninformed, misinformed, communists or opposed to this country's values" if we vote for specific candidates. I have seen friends accuse friends of being haters, homophobes, misogynists, etc., if they vote for others. I have seen friends "unfriend" friends. Frankly, I've been tempted to unfriend some folks myself, although I have resisted the urge. I don't know if we are reflecting the polarization of Washington, or if the Beltway reflects the hatred and spite of the American citizenry.
Here's what I rarely, if ever, observed: People truly listening. People asking questions of people who view the world differently than them. People seeking to understand.
To paraphrase G. K. Chesterton, it's not that we have tried to engage in gracious, thoughtful political dialogue and found it wanting — it's that we have found it difficult and not tried. We have told people what they think rather than asking them. We have refused to believe their reasons, choosing to trust our own stereotypes. We haven't listened to their stories — we've made them shallow caricatures in a story of our own creation.
I expect I have noticed this acutely the past several years during the 2008 and 2012 elections, because those were the first elections when so many of us were on Facebook in a presidential election year. But of course, politics, not to mention religion, has been a taboo topic of discussion for years, long before the Internet. It is tragic that those two disciplines that capture the depths of human values and meaning — religion and politics — are considered off-limits for many of our conversations. I expect much of this revolves around our need to be right, and our fear of people who see the world differently.
I've given this a lot of thought, as a friend of mine has continually jabbed at supporters of the other candidate, goading them to respond to some of the more troublesome aspects of their candidate's platform. Always done in a shaming, blaming way. Not surprisingly, no one took my friend up on the offer to explain.
But let me make a few friendly suggestions about how we might do this better four years from now.
The Wisdom of Listening
First, ask questions. And listen. Really listen. Don't just wait for the person you disagree with to take a breath so you can shoot down their position. Listen seeking to understand. Assume that they are a person of good faith rather than an evil, bigoted hater. Don't tell them why they're wrong. Try to understand why they view the world the way they do. Affirm aspects of their values and perspectives that you can respect and admire, even if you might view things differently. Make it safe for them to share their deepest hopes and fears with you. In the Old Testament, Proverbs 18:13 says, "If one gives an answer before he hears, it is his folly and shame" (ESV). Are we practicing the wisdom of listening?
You will find that when you have asked questions, listened actively seeking to understand, and affirmed common ground, that you will develop trust. You will also have created a space where they may ask you questions and give you the same respect that you have shown them. They may even be willing to express respect for some of your values and vision.
Confession Is Good for the Soul
Then, admit to them the concerns you have about your own candidate/party, acknowledging that candidates, like the rest of humanity, have their weaknesses as well as their strengths. Then, and only then, might they feel safe enough to address the weaknesses in their candidate/party that trouble you. Few of us embrace the entire platform of the candidate we vote for. You may not change your friend's vote. But you will have deepened a friendship. And opened a mind. You cannot wait for them to take the first step; you have to do it.
And whoever wins this election, be open to the possibility that some of their policies, all of which have been informed by advisors and embraced by close to half the population, might actually succeed. Hope and pray for the success of the candidate, even if you're skeptical. Be more concerned about the good of the country than the success or failure of political parties.
When we remain open to the virtues and vision of our elected officials' leadership, they may be more willing to listen to our legitimate concerns about those who might get left behind by their policies.
And maybe, just maybe, this sort of political engagement will catch on.
Welcome Back, Barack

COMEBACK KID: President Barack Obama and Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney sparred early and often during the second presidential debate on October 16, 2012, at Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York.

President Barack Obama leaped back into the presidential campaign Tuesday, aggressively challenging rival Mitt Romney in a tense debate likely to reset the contest as it heads into the final weeks.
Obama was all the things he was not in his first faceoff with Romney — energetic, engaged, quick to defend his record and even quicker to tear into Romney. At points, he even jumped off his seat to challenge Romney.
Eager to score points from the opening minutes to the last, he cast Romney as an elitist who would help the rich, a chameleon who is all but lying to conceal his real agenda, a man whose scorn for the poor and working classes was revealed only in the secretly taped remarks in which Romney derided 47 percent of the country as freeloaders.
Romney gave as good as he got through most of the debate, reminding voters at every opportunity of the weak economy under four years of Obama's leadership. He stumbled, however, at a turn over the attacks on U.S. diplomats in Libya, an unforced error that allowed Obama to score at what otherwise might have been a moment of vulnerability.
The 90-minute debate at Hofstra University in Hempstead, N.Y., likely helped Obama re-energize Democrats who were discouraged at his lackluster performance in the first debate, and sends the two rivals into their final clash Monday in Florida grappling for a breakout.
Most eyes were on Obama from the onset as he looked for ways stylistic and substantive to show voters he eagerly wants the job, and that Romney should not have it. In that first debate, he was passive at times, looking down at notes rather than making eye contact, and failing to raise such topics as Romney's remarks about the 47 percent.
Obama worked throughout to tar Romney as a friend to the rich and powerful.
"His plan is to let the oil companies write the energy policies," he said of Romney's push for more energy production.
He lambasted Romney's plan to cut taxes, saying they would necessarily force tax increases on the middle class.
"You're going to be paying for it," Obama said. "You can't buy the sales pitch."
Obama all but called Romney a liar.
"What Gov. Romney said just isn't true," he said of Romney's comments on the auto industry.
"Very little of what Gov. Romney just said is true," he said of Romney's comments on energy.
Obama at times sat at the edge of his stool, rising quickly to physically challenge Romney face to face rather than waiting for Romney to finish and be seated.
Challenged by Romney the first time, Obama then walked away and faced the audience to answer a question. The second time Obama stood to confront him, Romney waved him back, "You'll get your chance in a moment."
When he wasn't jumping out of his seat, Obama watched Romney intently.
He wasn't Joe Biden, laughing or making hand gestures when the other guy was talking, as the vice president did in his debate last week with Republican Paul Ryan.
But Obama kept his eyes on his adversary, a noteworthy change from the first debate when he was often caught on camera looking down at his notes or away, giving voters the impression he was disinterested.
Romney refused to cede the stage, however, standing forward rather than returning to his seat while Obama spoke to the live audience in the town hall-style meeting.
Romney stayed on message most of the evening, hammering away at economic anxiety about lost jobs, rising poverty and shrinking paychecks.
"The president's policies . . . haven't put people to work," he said.
"Middle-income families have been crushed," he added.
Romney made a misstep, however, on the Obama administration's response to the attack on the U.S. consulate in Libya.
Obama stated that he called the attack a terrorist act the next day, brushing aside suggestions that his administration spent weeks giving misleading accounts that instead blamed the attacks on a riotous response to anti-Muslim video.
Romney challenged Obama's assertion.
"Check the transcript," Obama interrupted, and moderator Candy Crowley noted that Obama did use the word in his day-after comment. "Say that a little louder, Candy," a confident Obama said.
Later, during the closing statements, Obama was given the final word and used it to further distinguish the differences between himself and Romney. After touting his record, he went on to finally broach the topic of Romney's infamous "47 percent" remarks from the secret video footage that had snarled Romney's campaign weeks earlier. Many chided Obama for not bringing up the topic in the first debate. This time he not only brought it up but saved it as his concluding shot in a match that one suspects will restore his campaign's mojo.
What did you think of the second debate? Did President Obama redeem himself enough to get back into a close presidential race? Share your comments below.

When Politicians Want It Both Ways

WOOING RELIGION REPORTERS: CNN Belief Blog editor Dan Gilgoff (left) moderates panel discussion with (left-to-right) Romney adviser Mark DeMoss and Obama surrogates Broderick Johnson and Michael Wear. (Photo by Explorations Media, L.L.C.)
Personal questions about faith should be off-limits, but questions about how faith informs policy shouldn't, representatives of the Obama and Romney campaigns told reporters at the Religion Newswriters Assocation annual meeting in Bethesda, Maryland, October 5.
Speaking as an unpaid senior adviser to the Romney campaign, Mark DeMoss said he concluded six years ago that Romney, with whom he shares "common values" but "different doctrinal or theological backgrounds," is "uniquely qualified and competent to be the president." The fact that Romney (a Mormon) is "a man of faith" is a "bonus," said the evangelical DeMoss.
"I feel strongly that no one should vote for any candidate at any level because of their faith. … That mindset, in my view, is similar to a Christian yellow-pages mentality … where you would just patronize Christian-owned businesses," DeMoss explained. People generally look for quality and competence in daily life decisions, he said. "If the selected competent choice happens to be a person of faith, that might be seen as a bonus. If they happen to be a person of similar faith, maybe that's a double bonus."
DeMoss alone represented the Romney campaign at the discussion moderated by CNN Belief Blog editor Dan Gilgoff. Two representatives spoke for the Obama campaign: senior Obama campaign adviser and head of Catholic outreach Broderick Johnson and national faith coordinator Michael Wear.
"It's fundamentally important that we can't tell reporters what to ask and we can't control those factors, but from our campaign … and Governor Romney's campaign, personal faith is off-limits," said Wear.
"Barack Obama has been more willing than many Democratic candidates to talk about how his faith informs him," said Johnson. But, he said, neither candidate talks about how they practice their faith. Johnson seemed to contradict himself when he later said, "How they practice their faith and their values does matter and gives people an important set of barometers to make decisions about who they're going to vote for."
Wear also referred journalists to President Obama's convention speech as evidence that his faith informs his decisions. In that speech, Obama quoted Abraham Lincoln's statement about the pressures of the presidency sending him to his knees. "That wasn't an off-hand gesture; it was actually a reference he made in his [National] Prayer Breakfast speech. … So this is something that he's talked about, but he talks about it on his own terms," said Wear.
After the panel discussion UrbanFaith asked Wear if the Obama campaign's tone has changed from 2008 when then-Senator Obama spoke eloquently and personally about his faith during a Saddleback Church discussion with the Rev. Rick Warren and Senator John McCain in Lake Forest, California.
"I'd say our priority on the faith vote is in talking about the choice that people of faith have in this election," said Wear. "The president doesn't think that it's his job to go out and convince folks about his faith. …It's something very personal to him and it's something that he's not going to be tried about. He's not going to manufacture things." The best "on-the-record statement" about the president's faith can be found in his recent interview with the National Cathedral magazine, Wear said.
Asked why President Obama was so forthcoming four years ago at Saddleback, Wear said the president didn't bring the subject up and was "introducing himself to the American people." "[They] wanted to know who he was," said Wear.
Coincidentally, the Pew Research Center distributed a quiz to RNA journalists in Bethesda that included a question about whether more or less Americans question President Obama's faith identity in 2012 than did in 2008. The organization reported earlier this year that in 2008, 55% of survey respondents identified the president as a Christian, while only 49% do so now. Four years ago, 12% thought the president was a Muslim. That figure has risen to 17%.
All three campaign surrogates advocated a broader range of issues that are informed by faith than so-called "culture war" concerns like abortion and same-sex marriage. Among those mentioned were the economy, tax policy, immigration, and heath-care reform. Wear said that if faith is a daily part of politicians' lives, "they're going to be looking through that lens on all their decisions."
Should questions about the candidates' faith be off-limits?
Mr. President, What Happened Last Night?
by Edward Gilbreath | Oct 4, 2012 | Feature, Headline News | 8 comments
MR. CONFIDENT VS. MR. SNIPPY: After last night's first presidential debate in Denver, Colorado, many of President Obama's most ardent supporters are wondering why he allowed Gov. Mitt Romney to administer such an unequivocal beat down. (Photo: Newscom)
It's been interesting today, reading and listening to all the post-debate analysis. Following what most are agreeing was an unequivocal beat down of President Obama by Mitt Romney, many are wondering, What just happened? With all of the polls leading up to the debate favoring the Obama campaign, one would think the president would've ridden that momentum and brought the fight to Gov. Romney.
But President Obama apparently neglected to take his urgency pills before taking the stage in Denver last night. Romney, say most pundits, was the more confident, aggressive, and prepared candidate. He won the evening.
And President Obama?
Well, let's just say the only "hope and change" his supporters are feeling after last night's performance is the hope that he will change his approach for the final two debates.
As you might expect, there's a ton of postmortem chatter spilling out across the Web and blogosphere. One report at Politico, titled "How Obama's Debate Strategy Bombed," dissects the possible reasons for President Obama's lackluster performance:
Multiple party strategists privately attributed Obama's demeanor to an ailment that frequently affects incumbents: a fear of appearing too aggressive and risking a larger-scale misstep that could transform the campaign. Projecting a calm, reasonable — some said "presidential" — demeanor was the strategy during Obama's debate-prep sessions outside of Las Vegas.
But as a result, Obama allowed Romney to set the terms for much of their Wednesday night faceoff at the University of Denver. Startling his supporters, Obama did not deliver almost any of the sharpest attacks that have defined his campaign against Romney, dwelling instead on missing details from Romney's policy proposals. The former Massachusetts governor's private-equity background, controversial personal finances, views on social issues and recently reported comments, disparaging Americans who do not pay income taxes, went entirely unmentioned.
At AlterNet, commentator Lynn Parramore defended Obama's approach:
Obama did what anybody paying close attention would have known he would do. He played it safe. And he stuck to a rather dull rhetorical style because — he has a rather dull rhetorical style. Also because that's what you do when you're the frontrunner. You don't say or do anything wild and crazy. You let your opponent jump up and down and make excitable noises. Which is precisely what Romney did. Some have read Romney's stance as aggressive, others as pushy, but there's one word that you're unlikely to hear: "presidential." Makes for good theatrics. But it won't win you the White House.
But Chicago Public Media blogger Achy Obejas, usually an Obama supporter, is having none of that. She admonished Obama's constituency with this:
Obama people, stop pretending. Stop trying to find the silver lining. Drop the crap about how Mitt Romney was a condescending jerk and vague on everything. Yeah, Romney was all that. And you know what? He still spanked Barack Obama in Wednesday night's debate. Romney was smooth, easy going, clear, ended his sentences on actual periods and just kept jabbing at the president all night long.
Atlantic senior editor Garance Franke-Ruta doesn't let Obama off the hook for his "snippy," "downbeat" performance, but she goes deeper in diagnosing the root cause for the president's poor showing. She writes, "Whoever Obama was when he was elected president has been seared away by two active wars, the more free-ranging fight against al-Qaeda, the worst economic crash since the Great Depression, and the endless grinding fights with Washington Republicans — and even, I am sure, activists in his own party." She goes on to add that folks expecting a late-hour reemergence of the dynamic Obama of 2008 needs to awake from their denial. This Obama, she says, is no longer the new and shiny model from 2008, nor will he ever be again. She says:
Romney has had the luxury of being able to campaign undistracted by a day job. More importantly, he's been able to campaign undistracted by dealing with anything substantive or difficult in recent years. Campaigns are physically taxing. But the toll of being president is something different again.
His supporters keep wanting Obama to be who he was in 2008. But that's not who he is anymore.
As for the president, earlier today at a Denver rally he explained the previous evening's less-than-triumphant proceedings by suggesting Romney caught him off guard. "When I got on to the stage, I met this very spirited fellow who claimed to be Mitt Romney. [But] the man on stage last night does not want to be held accountable for the real Mitt Romney's decisions … from the last year." Mocking Romney's smiling declaration that he would cut funding to PBS, Obama added, "Thank goodness somebody is finally getting tough on Big Bird."
I'm sure Obama's supporters are glad that he's able to find humor in last night's ugly affair, but one wonders why he didn't bring some of that snark last night.
After sifting through these and other commentaries, I got into a brief email chat with UrbanFaith columnist Wil LaVeist, who also was puzzled by the president's flat performance. Here's a bit of our discussion:
ED: What the heck happened last night?
WIL: President Obama was so flat with his style points during the debate, that I've got to give him the benefit of the doubt that it's a plan. He's either: 1) Working a "rope-a-dope" strategy where he'll knock Romney out later when it really counts, or 2) He was thinking too much about candlelight dinner with Michelle for their 20th wedding anniversary.
ED: My wife said the same thing about the Obamas' anniversary, but c'mon. The president's whole life is spent multitasking — balancing the running of the country with the mundane tasks of telling the kids to do their homework and making sure he remembers the card and flowers for the anniversary. So, I can't buy that one. But the rope-a-dope idea has merit. I've got to believe he was intentionally pulling punches last night. He seems to be working some sort of strategy, but did it possibly backfire? It's awfully close to Election Day to be taking those types of calculated risks.
WIL: If Obama's doing the rope-a-dope strategy, his aim is to strike fear in his Democratic base so that they'll realize this election won't be a cakewalk by any means. Democrats became lax in the 2010 midterm elections and the Tea Party-led GOP dominated. So the implicit message to the base is probably "Wake up, stand up, and get out the vote, like you did in 2008! Romney-Ryan is a stronger ticket than McCain-Palin. I need your help!"
ED: So, do you see him rebounding in round two, or is this the Obama we get now?
WIL: I think Obama will drop all of the obvious power punches (47 percent, flip-flopper, etc.) on Romney in the next two debates, but he will still need a strong voter turnout to win. On the other hand, if the Prez was distracted last night and thinking about Michele … well, as a married guy I can't blame him. However, Michelle will always be his first lady. If he's not careful, she won't be ours much longer.
Much more will be said about last night between now and the next debate. And once the new round of poll numbers starts appearing, the pundits will have even more fodder with which to fill their cable news segments. But, if nothing else, last night's debate should remind us of one thing: nothing is decided until the polls close on the evening of Nov. 6.
If 'The Dark Knight Rises,' So Can We
by Jelani Greenidge, Urban Faith Contributing Writer | Jul 23, 2012 | Entertainment, Feature, Jelani Greenidge | 1 comment
On the eve of the premiere of The Dark Knight Rises, I ended up in a heated Facebook debate over the nature of President Obama's "you didn't build that" comments — the latest furor in a series of election-year political clashes over tax policy, economic interventionism, class warfare, and the Occupy movement.
After seeing the film, I realized this is no mere coincidence. Because the political themes and allusions in The Dark Knight Rises run thick and rich, especially considering the whole Bain/Bane connection.
Not that the conclusive installment of this latest Batman trilogy has an overtly political agenda. Rather, its script, co-written by director Christopher Nolan and screenwriter Jonathan Nolan, clearly resides in the context of our current, fractured political climate. As British-American filmmakers raised in Chicago, the Nolan brothers offer a unique take on blighted urban political decay. So their epic depiction of Gotham, and the way it captures our gestalt, the spirit of our time, owes just as much a debt to David Simon's The Wire as it does to Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities.
I'm sorry, did I just say "owes a debt?" There I go again.
See, as much as there is to love about this film, there's just as much to object to — that is, if your goal is to use it as political ammunition.
(Mild spoiler alert.)
One story, two sides
Liberals can choose to see it as a story of corporate greed and hubris, and see the Batman as a hero of the people, the Ninety-Nine Percent. Conservatives can choose to see it as a story of a city hijacked by a runaway mob intent on redistributing the wealth of the One Percent, foiled by the ingenuity and grit of an American business-owner.
And you know what? They're both right.
And not just because the Nolans deliberately tried to connect with broader emotional themes rather than align their film with specific political messages.
They're both right because political factions never have exclusive rights to the truth. There are truths that liberals and conservatives both understand and embrace more or less compared to their counterparts. In the cultivation of these truths, we are drawn to political ideologies. But the pain and bitterness we feel from the losses incurred in the unrelenting allegiance to these ideologies … well, it blinds us. It traps us. We become slaves to the system. As a result, we end up doing things we regret, things we never thought we would.
Different kingdom, different mission
That's the bad news, that when it comes to systems of this world, we are not in charge. But the good news is that in the scope of eternity, we are not in charge. The kingdom of God is not a democracy, but a benevolent dictatorship. As such, the kingdom goes by a different set of rules than what we've come to expect.
After all, Paul famously told the church that in Christ, there is no male or female, Jew or Greek, but we are one in Christ. He also told us that the same spirit that raised Christ from the dead dwells in our bodies. So there's no reason why we have to remain trapped inside the identity of the closest prevailing political bloc. The more we acknowledge His Lordship, the greater basis we'll have for humility, unity, and cooperation.
That sense of humility in action is what I found so moving in this latest film. Part of Batman's redemption was in the way he was able to get beyond his pain and see more value in trusting and working with others. Most of us will never experience Bruce Wayne wealth, but all of us, if we put our faith in Christ, can rise above our fears and work with others for the common good.
Not only that, if we as the church are to fulfill our mission, we must rise above. Because there are others who need to experience Christ, and they don't have the luxury of waiting for a sequel.
So let's keep showing up, engaging, and rising above the conflicts that divide us. Because when it comes to saving the world, I have more faith in a risen savior than any caped crusader — even one as cool as Batman.


This is my latest floral in soft pastel. It is mostly Mt Vision and Great American pastels on Art Spectrum Colourfix paper. The photo that this was done from reminds me so much of the musical Oklahmoma for some reason, that I've titled both the photo and painting from the song. C&C are always welcome.
Very nice. First time I've seen a sunflower (is it?) without all brown for the seeds. This looks like it's before development of the seeds. It's also very soft, but defined.

Moody shot of Bolton's own Le Mans is classic car spotter's delight
Moody shot of Bolton's own Le Mans is car spotter's delight
By John Anson @LT_Features Regional Features Editor Lancashire
IMPRESSIVE: Le Mans Crescent, Bolton, at night, January 1980
You can see why Le Mans Crescent in Bolton has been a favourite of film and TV companies over the years.
This moody night-time photograph was taken in 1980 and looks like a still from a movie. The impressive architecture could easily be mistaken for an imposing crescent in London or a major foreign city
Thankfully, the Crescent has changed very little over the years but the cars which line the street most certainly have.
Among the cars we spotted are a Ford Cortina Mark 3, a good old Mini, an Austin Maestro, a Citroen 2CV and a Rover P6. With a bit of close study car lovers will probably be able to pick out a few more.
If you have any photographs of Bolton's streets over the years we'd love to share them with Looking Back readers. Email john.anson@nqnw.co.uk

British Scientists Could Become First To Create Synthetic Human Blood

Scientists want to create blood from embryonic stem cells
British scientists are on course to become the first to create synthetic human blood from embryonic stem cells, it emerged today.
The ground-breaking project could provide an unlimited supply of blood for emergency transfusions free of the risk of infection.
Because stem cells multiply indefinitely, it would be possible to enormous quantities, researchers said..
The cells can be made from universal donor embryos – the O-negative type – and can be guaranteed to be free of infections because they have never been inside a human.
The three-year project will be led by the Scottish National Blood Transfusion Service (SNBTS) and includes NHS Blood and Transplant and the Wellcome Trust, the world's biggest medical research charity.
SNBTS director Professor Marc Turner has been involved in studies investigating how to ensure donated blood is free of the infectious agent behind variant CJD, the human form of 'mad cow' disease, the report said.
Several vCJD patients are thought to have contracted the disease by blood transfusions.
Prof Turner, of Edinburgh University, was unavailable for comment.
A spokeswoman for the National Blood Service for England and North Wales told the Independent that negotiations on the joint research project were at an advanced stage and that legal, rather than scientific, issues were holding up the announcement.
A spokesman for the Wellcome Trust added that complicated legal issues were still being ironed out between all the parties involved but that an announcement was likely to be made in the coming week.
Researchers will test human embryos left over from IVF treatment to find those that are genetically programmed to develop into the 'O-negative' blood group, which is the universal donor group whose blood can be transfused into anyone without fear of tissue rejection, the report said.
The relatively rare blood group – it is applicable to about 7% of the population – could then be produced in unlimited quantities from embryonic stem cells because of their ability to multiply indefinitely in the laboratory.
The idea of destroying embryos to create stem cells raises ethical issues, but in theory, just one embryo could meet the nation's needs.

Eating Squirrel. Korean B.B.Q. Date Tonight.
Jang Lim Chung said, "I respect what you want. You want our food or do you want me to search for Western food?" I told him I wanted an authentic Korean evening so he hailed a cab and took me to a famous B.B.Q. restaurant in Suwon. When we walked through the door, a woman in a white apron told us to remove our footwear.
The tables stood a foot and a half high and there were pillows for chairs. We sat cross legged, across from each other, and grilled raw beef on coals in the middle of the table. The waitress kept bringing us small dishes of food to compliment the meat.
We drank "Soju." It's a popular drink in Japan and Korea with 20 to 40% alcohol content. Drinking is a big part of Korean culture.
There were families surrounding us at tables and the older women, especially, enjoyed watching me struggle with chop sticks and choke down Soju when Jang told me exactly what I was eating. When one woman left, she nodded at Jang as if to say, "good man. Teach that Canadian girl about our culture. Teach her good."
Koreans, like most Asians, respect their elders. When Jang Lim Chung and I drank shots of Soju, we looked each other in the face because we're considered equals, but when taking a shot with an elder, it's respectful to turn your head.
Jang did a lot of talking tonight. He brought along a palm pilot with Hangul/English translation. We also had a pad of paper that was covered in scribbling by the end of the night. He told me about the influence of confucianism in Korea, and about his time spent in the Korean marine. He still sends food to guys in the army.
He had done his homework and kept repeating the phrase, "I promise I won't touch your privacy." He learned through our worldwide web that American women pride independance and privacy. He wanted me to know that he wouldn't be an intrusive friend.
We ended off the night by going to a bar. It was similar in appearance to any dingy bar you'd see in small town Ontario. We ordered a pitcher of Korean beer & I was shocked when Jang pointed to the menu and asked what I wanted. It's customary to eat when you drink, whether or not you've just had dinner.
Everytime a glass was poured, it bubbled over with foam and the bartender rushed over with napkins. We were set to watch an 11:00 movie but I was tired with all of that alcohol and food in my system so I thanked Jang for the nice evening and started my walk home.
He was insulted when I refused to let him walk me. He said it was dangerous but I didn't feel like I needed to be protected.

So what tastes better: Golden Retriever or Poodle?
Would my dog (a Golden Doodle) be considered "fusion food" to them?
It sounds like you're in a far-away land, love. It will be an adventure for you to find common ground. Also, you can have some fun with them by making up Canadian culture. For example, telling the locals: "In Canada, we all pray to Celine Dion and renovate our igloos with modern luxuries, like heated snow."
Greg: you can also say things like this to Americans and they'll also be fooled ;0
Koreans do not eat pet-dog. There is a different kind of dog that is edible like cows or pigs as a source of protein. That specie is caled "Dong-gae". You western people should be more considerate about talking other peoples' food source. They are not all blessed with various kinds of meats as you enjoy. Some have very limited source of meat. -cosmopolitan

This is a normal development. White breaks the symmetry in order not to play into White a, Black b which is an ideal double-purpose play of pincer combined with extension. Now we expect a pincer to be played by Black in the right-hand corner. At c has been well explored, but d and e are played now. Yang Yilun recommends f (in How to Destroy and Preserve)...f is a dual purpose move serving as both a five space extension from and a pincer of . Thus f is urgent.
In the background is the press at g for Black.
In Edo period theory the high approach at wasn't yet widely played, so that the initial formation was generally avoided. Of course White could play out the left-hand corner instead, but the feeling is that an approach is a little more urgent.
This is quite a popular diagonal fuseki in professional Go. Black plays into mukai komoku on the theory that White will take the fourth corner, leaving Black with sente on the left side.


The program draws on research and knowledge of functional medicine that combines Western (more science based) and Eastern approaches (more holistic) approaches that "gets to the root of disease," Dr. Junger explained in his book Clean.
In his book, Dr. Junger wrote that the program is meant to "neutralize and eliminate" inner toxins (the by-products of our metabolism) and outer toxins that we eat, breathe, or absorb through our skin and intestines. He adds that following the Clean Program will help you break bad eating habits, identify foods that are causing irritations, and help you adopt healthy eating habits for the long-term.
If you're looking for a less drastic cleanse, or simply want to try something new, continue reading to learn the ins and outs of the Clean Program.


When I click on a group, the group members are in alphabetical order, so I can not recreate this problem.Try emptying the cache (temporary internet files) and if it's still not working please contact our support: support@projectplace.com so that we can give you further assistance.
So I called with the local helpdesk, and explained it. The man is spoke to said he would put it through to Sweden. because the option I asked for is not availlable.
If you make a group, you can add members in two ways.
2. Make a group and add afterwards the members.
The list of groupmembers is aligned in order of which people are added. If you fill the group like in the second option, it's very likely that the members are in alphabetical order. As the list you choose from is too.
2. rearrange randomly with pick and drop.
Why do I want it: I've got a Project with a prox. 180 members, who are assigned to different groups. It would be a helpful tool to find people faster, and also it's helpful to check if a list is still correct.
In "My preferences" you can set if you want to list names and sort on: Surname, Name or Name, Surname. If you have any unregistered members they will sort on the first letter in the e-mailaddress.
I will contact you through the support so that we maybe can have an onlinemeeting and look at your project together.
I have now sent you another e-mail from our support, please contact me so we can have an onlinemeeting and look into the problem. If you haven´t received any e-mail you can also send an e-mail to support@projectplace.com.

Study of post-mortem brain tissue yields new insights on PTSD
By Peggy Willoughby
VA National Center for PTSD
"We have advanced our understanding of the cellular and molecular alterations in PTSD brains, and this brings us closer to designing more effective treatment strategies."
The most rigorous study to date examining post-mortem brain tissue from those with PTSD has identified molecular changes in the brain that may lead to new ways to diagnose and treat the disorder.
The study appeared online in the journal Nature Neuroscience on Dec. 21, 2020. Researchers with the VA National Center for PTSD, VA's National PTSD Brain Bank, and Yale University School of Medicine carried out the study.
"This is a historic step in PTSD research that will mean better treatment for Veterans with PTSD," says study coauthor Dr. John Krystal, director of NCPTSD's Clinical Neuroscience Division and chair of psychiatry at Yale University. "We have advanced our understanding of the cellular and molecular alterations in PTSD brains, and this brings us closer to designing more effective treatment strategies."
PTSD develops in some people who have experienced or witnessed a life-threatening event, and includes intrusion, avoidance and hyperarousal symptoms as well as negative thoughts and mood. Besides psychotherapy, current treatments include medications that researchers say are helpful in minimizing—but not eliminating—PTSD symptoms.
The study, led by Dr. Matthew Girgenti of VA and Yale, is the first to pinpoint genetic changes related to PTSD that are specific to gender, and to certain brain subregions.
Understanding how PTSD differs within the brains of men and women is important, because women are more likely to develop PTSD after experiencing trauma. Also, there may be differences in how men and women respond to treatment. The finding underscores the need to develop different treatment strategies for men and women.
VA RESEARCH
The study also showed major differences in how PTSD and depression look in the brain. Some symptoms overlap between the two conditions, and researchers say that about half of those diagnosed with PTSD are also diagnosed with depression. The finding could potentially help clinicians better distinguish between the conditions and offer more effective treatment.
The findings come from the first major research study using brain tissue from the National PTSD Brain Bank. The bank is led by study co-author Dr. Matthew Friedman of the NCPTSD and Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth. The program collects, processes, and stores human research specimens and provides them to qualified researchers to learn more about illness in Veterans.
