In 2016, the Implementation Working Group completed its second edition of "Development and Rational Use of Standardised MedDRA Queries (SMQs): Retrieving Adverse Drug Reactions with MedDRA".
The SMQ IWG held its 14th Meeting on 11-12 September 2018 in Geneva (agenda). Participants discussed the concept of MedDRA Labelling Groupings (MLGs) for use in reference safety information (minutes). A concept paper and a more concise one-pager have been submitted to the ICH MedDRA Management Committee for consideration.
The MLG concept was also presented at the 18th Annual meeting of the International Society of Pharmacovigilance (ISoP), held in Geneva on 11-14 November 2018. Click here for details of the session and the presentations.
Historically, the project began in 2002 as a CIOMS initiative, in response to concerns raised by some drug regulatory authorities and pharmaceutical companies regarding the parallel development of Special Search Categories based on the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA®). This would result in a duplication of effort and uncertainty within pharmaceutical companies about the utility of these searches on the part of drug regulatory authorities.
These drug regulatory authorities and pharmaceutical companies identified a need to harmonize and standardize their adverse drug reaction database search queries based on MedDRA to use the MedDRA terminology in a rational way and to allow comparisons of drug safety findings between different databases. However, at an early stage it became clear that such an activity would benefit from cooperation among stakeholders, i.e. the CIOMS Working Group, the MedDRA Maintenance and Support Services Organization (MSSO), the Japanese Maintenance Organization (JMO), the MedDRA Management Board (MMB) of the International Council for Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) and the ICH Secretariat. In May 2003 the MSSO and the JMO joined the group, which was renamed the CIOMS Working Group on SMQs.
Since 2002, the various CIOMS Groups responsible for SMQs have developed over 100 SMQs. In 2008 the Working Group downsized to a Core Group (CG), which has since met on a regular basis in order to maintain, review or develop new SMQs. CIOMS and ICH have a formal arrangement for collaboration on development and implementation of SMQs. An ICH advisory panel supported decisions on advancing new topics for development.
In 2012, the SMQ IWG was formed to support the continued development and implementation of SMQs. This IWG includes representatives of regulatory and pharmaceutical organizations, as well as academia, the MSSO and the JMO, and meets twice per year. Its sub-teams develop specific candidate SMQs, e.g., SMQ for Dehydration and SMQ for Hypokalaemia, which are then taken forward in a well-established process toward production. The MMB (and later the MedDRA Management Committee) provide oversight. The IWG has also produced a second edition of "Development and Rational Use of Standardised MedDRA Queries (SMQs): Retrieving Adverse Drug Reactions with MedDRA" (known as the SMQ "Red Book"), which was published in August 2016. In parallel, the IWG continued to tackle challenging topics by further testing and refining candidate SMQs, including one for opportunistic infections.
The current library of SMQs is extensive and the need for new SMQs has waned. The MSSO will continue to maintain SMQs in step with new production versions of MedDRA. Thus, the expertise of the SMQ IWG can be re-deployed to another, related project where there is an unmet need for harmonization.
MedDRA includes more than 23,000 Preferred Terms (PTs) in its version 21.1. The MedDRA hierarchy provides groupings, but these are sometimes inadequate to clearly communicate a specific clinical concept that is meaningful for prescribers. The IWG is exploring the feasibility of developing principles for "MedDRA Labelling Groupings" (MLGs) for use in Reference Safety Information, such as medical product information/labelling, Investigator Brochures, or other aggregate safety data presentations (see box on the left for links to more detailed information).


CM Punk dropped one final pipe bomb with his recent tell-all on Colt Cabana's podcast. While his views on Triple H, Ryback and Vince McMahon made headlines in the sports world, something else he said largely went unnoticed.
CM Punk saved Daniel Bryan.
"When I split in January they changed everything and part of me thinks they changed a lot of stuff to spite me and that's fine because certain people who deserved certain things at that certain time got those things and that's something I never got and it was nice to see that," CM Punk said on Cabana's podcast.
If you recall earlier this year, the plan for the WrestleMania main event was Randy Orton vs. Batista. While those two guys are great performers, Batista's return was rushed and he wasn't ready for a WWE WrestleMania main event, particularly in the context of the WWE at the time.
Daniel Bryan was hot — the hottest thing in the company since Stone Cold Steve Austin — and the fans clearly wanted him in the main event of WrestleMania.
The WWE, however, wasn't going to change plans. They liked Bryan, but instead wanted to push the angle that he was too small and not worthy of being WWE champion. Bryan was probably headed toward a mid-card match at WrestleMania that year until CM Punk decided to up and walk away.
CM Punk, one of the greatest WWE champions of all time, was unhappy with his push. He was forced to lose his WWE championship a year prior to quarter-timer The Rock; he lost to quarter-timer Undertaker at Wrestlemania, then later in the year to part-timer Brock Lesnar.
For some reason the WWE didn't really have a plan for the Punk or Bryan heading into the WWE's biggest card of the year. Punk was supposed to wrestle Triple H at Mania, but Punk decided that he did not want to wrestle Triple H, another part-time wrestler.
Sparked by the booking and a general overall unhappiness with the product and the company, CM Punk walked away. How did the WWE respond? Well, they needed a big match for Triple H, the son-in-law of WWE chairman Vince McMahon. So, in response to the fans, the fact that Triple H needed an opponent, and the loss of Punk, the WWE rewrote the script and placed Bryan in the ring against Triple H, and if he prevailed, would force the Orton vs. Batista match into a triple threat for the world title.
Bryan beat Triple H, then defeated Orton and Batista and the "Yes!" era begain. None of that would have been possible had CM Punk not left.
With Punk griping that the WWE treated him unfairly and didn't cash in on his popularity with fans, the WWE possibly decided to get behind Bryan. His rise from Indy worker to WWE star was similar to Punk's, to show Punk that they could push the little guy.
Whatever the reason, Bryan's main event slot can be traced back to Punk's departure, leaving open a big spot on the WrestleMania card. Punk's decision to end his WWE career gave life to Bryan's WWE run.
It's unfortunate that Punk is burnt out on the WWE and it's unfortunate that the WWE never got behind him 100 percent to let him be the big star of the company.
Punk is a game-changer and even in his absence, he still makes the product better.

It's Finally Super Tuesday
U.C. Merced students voted in a campus early-vote center on Monday.Credit…Max Whittaker for The New York Times
(Here's the sign-up, if you don't already get California Today delivered to your inbox.)
Good Super Tuesday morning, at long last.
California voters will today help decide a number of issues critical to our democracy — including but not limited to the Democratic nominee to become president of the United States and whether the state should be able to borrow $15 billion for public school upgrades.
So if you're not one of the more than 3.5 million Californians who have already cast ballots, it's time to hit the polls. Or it's time to drop off your vote-by-mail ballot at a mailbox. Or to bring your ballot to a drop box.
As we've mentioned a few times recently, California officials want to make it really easy for everyone who's eligible to vote.
So far, readers have emailed us to say the voting process has been smooth and easy, particularly in the 15 counties that have adopted the elections model laid out in the Voter's Choice Act.
There's just one problem: The ease of voting early means that some Californians have voted for Democratic presidential candidates who have dropped out of the race, as Pete Buttigieg, Tom Steyer and Amy Klobuchar have done in recent days.
Officials with the secretary of state's office on Monday emphasized that, no, if you already sent off or turned in your ballot, you may not change your vote or vote again.
However, if you've filled out your ballot and have not turned it in, you can take it to a polling place and exchange it for a new one.
Now, here are answers to some last-minute questions you might have:
How do I find the nearest place to vote?
You can find your nearest polling place here, but as the site notes, you may find multiple addresses if you live in a Voter's Choice Act county, because you can vote at any of the new voting centers rather than a single neighborhood polling place.
And don't forget: Every polling place has same-day voter registration, in case you missed the deadline to register online.
Why won't we have definitive results tonight?
Alex Padilla, California's secretary of state, has repeated, "We'd rather get it right than get it fast."
County election offices will continue to accept ballots that have been postmarked by and received within three days of Election Day. (So, Friday, in this case.) Then, it can take up to 30 days for county election officials to verify that those ballots have been cast by eligible voters.
Another reason things will take longer is that vote data can't be transmitted online, and machines can't be connected to the internet for security.
In any case, thousands of trained volunteers will be heading to polling places.
"This is about as close to a military operation you can get in the civilian world," Neal Kelley, Orange County's registrar of voters, told reporters recently.
Who should I vote for?
Well, we can't tell you that. But local news outlets have put together some helpful features:
A look at the candidates to represent the desert in Congress and the State Legislature. [The Desert Sun]
An expansive voter guide with information on races around the state, as well as L.A. City Council contests and the high-profile battle to become L.A.'s next district attorney. (That last one became even more intense on Monday, when the husband of the incumbent, Jackie Lacey, waved a gun at Black Lives Matter protesters outside the couple's home before dawn.) [The Los Angeles Times]
Interviews with more than 90 candidates for San Diego-area offices, from the San Diego Unified School Board to Congress. [The San Diego Union-Tribune]
A guide to San Francisco ballots, including explanations of city propositions, like one that would tax property owners who keep storefronts empty in certain areas. [The San Francisco Chronicle]
A rundown of Orange County primaries, like closely watched congressional races and contests for seats on the Orange County Board of Supervisors. [Voice of O.C.]
The Fresno Bee's endorsements in key local races. [The Fresno Bee]
A look at local races around Sacramento. [The Sacramento Bee]
And a broad guide to races worth keeping an eye on across California, in case you're looking for more. [CalMatters]
Anything else I should know?
Watch for the ways in which inequality is shaping the presidential primary here.
As my colleagues reported, many Californians are feeling as though they can't afford to stay in the Golden State. That anxiety, some said, is affecting their politics.
But the primary results, particularly in the Inland Empire and the Central Valley, will also tell candidates how their messages may play in other states, said Karthick Ramakrishnan, associate dean of U.C. Riverside's School of Public Policy. (It's no accident that those parts of California have gotten more attention from presidential suitors this year than they have in the past.)
As in the Rust Belt, for instance, the Inland Empire's manufacturing industry is a shell of its former self, but logistics and shipping are growing. So, the availability of jobs has largely bounced back from the recession, "but economic inequality and poverty remain significant issues," Mr. Ramakrishnan told me recently.
Of course, all this points back to the housing crisis as a major issue. My colleague Maggie Astor wrote about all the candidates' proposals to make housing more affordable. You can read that here.
Lots of other Times reporters will be on the ground in California today, including Katie Glueck, Jennifer Medina, Thomas Fuller, Tim Arango and yours truly. So follow along, and maybe we'll see you out there.
Here's what else we're following
We often link to sites that limit access for nonsubscribers. We appreciate your reading Times coverage, but we also encourage you to support local news if you can.
The latest wrinkle in the response to the coronavirus outbreak? Families are being hit with surprise medical bills for government-mandated care. [The New York Times]
In the Bay Area, which has been hit hard by the coronavirus outbreak, there are mounting concerns about how it will affect the region's most vulnerable residents: Those experiencing homelessness, particularly those living in densely populated encampments. [The Mercury News]
At least 74 teaching assistants have been fired or barred from spring appointments by U.C. Santa Cruz over their participation in a strike. Graduate students have been pushing for higher pay to deal with sky-high costs of living. [Santa Cruz Sentinel]
And Finally …
Pour out a Two Buck Chuck for Joseph Coulombe, the founder of Trader Joe's, who died on Friday at home in Pasadena, which is also where the first of what would become a chain of hundreds of stores opened in 1967.
Based on his obituary, Mr. Coulombe, a San Diego-bred, Stanford-educated entrepreneur, sounds like a psychic. He told The Los Angeles Times in 2011 that he envisioned the stores as escapes "for overeducated and underpaid people."
He seems to have predicted the kind of mainstreaming of "health food" trends that has made it possible for you to buy a green juice at basically any gas station in the country. And, crucially, he included reasonably priced liquors, beers and wines in the mix — many of which he taste-tested himself.
In 1987, he told The Times he sampled about 4,000 wines per year.

A look at the Urban Search & Rescue System and local ICS
If you have been following recent events with the tragic condominium collapse in Miami Florida, you most likely have seen the Urban Search & Rescue (US&R) Task Forces at work on the rubble piles of the devastated area. Who are these teams and where did they come from?
Photo by Cyberbizsource June 28, 2021 (https://cyberbizsource.com/2021/06/28/10-dead-151-missing-in-florida-building/)
Although originally designed to respond to earthquakes, US&R Task Forces (TF) routinely respond to other disaster incidents including hurricanes, floods, tornados, and large structural collapse like the World Trade Center on 9/11.
Each TF is made up of dedicated first responders and civilians who specialize in the areas of Technical and canine search, Technical rescue and collapse operations, Hazardous materials, Heavy Rigging, Planning, Safety, Structural Engineering, Emergency Medicine, and Logistics and communications. This expertise is matched with each TF's extensive, specialized equipment cache that can be transported by ground or by air lift. The Command and Planning components utilize basic and advanced ICS to manage the TF and to plan for operations.
I worked in the US&R system for 25yrs and saw firsthand how getting the right resource, in the right place, at the right time can make a meaningful difference to the victims and communities stricken by disasters.
How did these teams start?
The concept of the US&R began to take shape in the 1970's with FEMA earthquake mitigation planning. The concepts began to take life when several Fire Depts on the east coast began to form "building collapse" rescue teams. These teams began to demonstrate their value in incidents in the U.S. and internationally when the State Department and the Office of Foreign Disaster Aid began to request the teams for disasters overseas.
FEMA moved forward with creating a national US&R system in 1992 after watching events in the 1980's like the 1985 Mexico City earthquake, where over 200 rescuers were killed in secondary collapses, and the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake in California where a number of rescue resources struggled to keep operations going due to logistical limitations.
FEMA designed and equipped the US&R Task Forces to be able to deploy and conduct around the clock Search and Rescue operations in major disaster environments with little to no initial support. Each TF carries enough supplies and equipment to be totally self-sufficient logistically for at least 72hrs, thereby limiting the support needed from jurisdictions that may already be stretched thin during large incidents.
The TF's come in two different types:
Type I - is the full TF with 70 people (+10 if going by ground) with the entire equipment cache in 2-3 semi-trailers, with a combination of box trucks, vans, buses, and other assorted support vehicles.
Type 3 – is a smaller group of 35 personnel designed to conduct swift, wide area search missions with minimal equipment, vehicles, and logistical support.
Often these two types of TF's are paired to work together on deployments, combining their speed and support capabilities as operations adjust to meet the ever-changing needs of the disaster landscape.
The US&R Program continues to evolve, and today we have 28 Federal US&R Task Forces in the country. These teams are funded by FEMA but are managed and supported by sponsoring agencies at the local and State level. Some are run by a single entity like a large fire dept while others may have many local agencies cooperating with one sponsoring agency to provide staffing and other support. These TF's are part of the National Response Plan and can be deployed throughout the country as a Federal resource and locally in part or whole for incidents occurring in their home states.
Along with the national TF's, many states have created their own TF's for local response. These TF's mirror the training and equipment of the Federal TF's but are a state resource. Both Florida and Texas have created a number of these TF's to respond to the numerous disaster incidents each state experiences on an almost yearly basis. The Miami condo incident is the perfect example of both State and Federal TF's being deployed to work together with the local incident command.
Whether Federally or State sponsored, the TFs are a unique resource that can deliver highly trained, well equipped rescuers when and where they are needed. The US&R program is an excellent example of how Local, State, and Federal governments can partner together to become a force multiplier in our response capabilities locally and as a nation.
With the multiple jurisdictions and partners, urban search and rescue teams are a prime example highlighting the necessity for comprehensive ICS training across the board. The Blue Cell helps to make this obtainable for everyone with their virtual training.

The thesis statement is the basis of your essay.
A quotation can be apt.
Kick off with a fascinating fact.
An anecdote can be a winner.
Your essay will contain your thesis statement. If you have got a powerful and brief thesis statement it could be the first sentence in your essay.

AEP: Summary of latest issue
Volume 6, number 2, 2002 (released July 2002)
Perry J, Jagger J. "Percutaneous Injuries and Blood Exposures in Emergency Department Settings" (pp. 13,20-22). Emergency department staff are especially vulnerable to bloodborne pathogen exposures. To better understand the risks of percutaneous injuries (PIs) and blood exposures in the ED, we analyzed five years of EPINet data (1996-2000), with 1,060 PIs and 338 BBF contacts. The data showed that ED workers are more likely to sustain PIs involving blood-filled needles than other hospital personnel. We analyzed EPINet data for the ED by job category, devices causing injury, original purpose of the devices, and also compared data for the ED and patient rooms.
Perry J, Jagger J. "HIV Infection in a Firefighter/Paramedic" (p. 14,23). Discusses the case of John Smith (a pseudonym), a 32-year-old firefighter/paramedic in a mid-western city who was infected with HIV and has no other reported risk factors other than numerous occupational exposures to blood.
Perry J. "A Needlestick in the ER." In 1999, Vanessa Burkhart was a 39-year-old highly skilled emergency nurse. One night, while working as a charge nurse in the ED, she was stabbed by a combative patient with a blood-filled I.V. needle. Four months later, she was diagnosed with hepatitis C.

With textiles and apparel representing 46% of total Salvadoran exports, the apparel sector is the leading manufacturing employer in El Salvador, and the primary employer of women. Despite trade preferences, benefits under the CAFTA-DR, and recent advances in product innovation, Central American textile and apparel producers have struggled to compete against low-wage Asian countries. Nevertheless, El Salvador has steadily increased its textile and apparel exports since 2009, as the industry shifts to embrace innovative changes. Strengthening the capabilities and efficiencies of the Salvadoran textile and apparel industry will enhance export opportunities along the full US – CAFTA-DR supply chain.
Through a capacity-building program, CLDP & USTR seek to improve regional prosperity by fostering human and institutional capacity to support and strengthen the textile and apparel industry. The program focuses on four areas: innovation in operations and production processes; strengthening supply-chain management; building effective marketing strategies and practices; and strengthening utilization of the CAFTA-DR agreement. Through technical workshops and stakeholder exchanges, the program engages the private sector, academia, and relevant government agencies to create shared knowledge, and provide self-sustaining support to build the skill sets to cultivate the human capacity and business opportunities that increase economic competitiveness.


I filled out my goal sheet several weeks before the New Year. I'm somewhat of a goal nut, because I find I get so much more accomplished if I give myself a framework (it helps me focus because I'm very easily distracted. Especially by my new-to-me-got-it-on-eBay iPhone 6).
I've created a hybrid approach to goal setting, based on several different strategies I've read about. This is how I currently write goals.
First, I take a sheet of white 8.5" by 11" paper, and at the top I write my BHAG (see above picture). This doesn't change—it's my long-term, three-year goal.
Next is my Yearly Focus. This is what my biggest yearly goal will be. This year, my Yearly Focus is to write weekly blog posts in order to create a business that is mine AND to pay off all non-mortgage debt.
All non-mortgage debt is one car loan and what's left on our Chile apartment mortgage, which is technically mortgage debt, but it's super annoying and I want it gone. Yes, we have a car loan. I know, I know. Lecture me in the Comments. But we got a very low interest rate and wanted to keep our cash handy. It's annoying, so we'll pay it off by the end of this year.
Next, I write my main goals in the next section.
Finish all Masters' courses by 12/31/2017.
Pay off Prius car note.
Save up cash for a new roof (this is such an exciting goal).
Purchase tickets to Chile with points (we are debating whether this will be Delta or American. We have more points saved up with Delta, but American is part of the One World Alliance with LanChile, which gives us direct flights to Santiago out of JFK).
Date night once per quarter (we're really bad at going out on dates so I want to improve this—baby steps).
Write one good blog post per week, for a total of 52 posts by the end of the year.
Keep my word—my "yes" means yes and my "no" means no.
(This is another area where I can definitely stand to improve. I'm optimistic by nature, so I tend to say, "Yes, of course I'll help you clean out your attic today, even though I've got a full day of teaching, the kids have drum lessons and basketball, and I promised Mr. ThreeYear homemade sushi for dinner–because of course I can squeeze one more thing in." Um, no I actually can't. Never works). This also means saying "no" more, because I know that when I say "yes" to someone or something, I'm saying "no" to someone or something else–i.e., homemade sushi for the Hubs).
Next section is Top Values. I create a big balloon with my top values, so I can remember why I'm doing all this.
This also helps me know what to say "yes" and "no" to. If it doesn't add to one of the categories above, I probably need to say no to it, or at least very carefully evaluate it (will I say no to it? Probably not. But I can have plenty of guilt later for how clear it was that I should have said no).
Finally, the last section of the sheet is for Quarterly Goals. This is where I break down how I'll achieve the Big 7 each quarter. Breaking it down makes it so much easier for me to assess, during the year, if I'm making progress on my goals and/or if I need to make any mid-course corrections. In theory, these goals should reinforce the big 7, or at least be in line with our top values.
Meet a friend at my sister's house for a girls' trip.
Write one blog post per week, for a total of 12 by end-of-quarter.
Take a vacation to South Carolina, paid for in cash. (That part's done. We've already bought these tickets).
Save another $3000 for the roof.
Find a job for the 2017-2018 school year. My current job will have very reduced hours for the next school year so I'd like to find a more steady part-time job. (This may change now that I have another part-time gig).
Earn $100/month from this blog (we'll see! Don't even know how to earn $ at this point).
Spend one month in South Carolina with family and friends.
Put new roof on the house.
One cool summer camp for each son.
Save as much as possible for my 401K (seriously playing catch-up here).
Purchase Chile tickets with miles.
We'll get to check in on our Chile apartment this year.
So there you have it! Those are my goals, broken down. I store them in my journal, and review them regularly. I am so goal-oriented, and also have such a tendency to get off track with new projects or social media (Instagram! Facebook! Twitter!), that it is imperative for my success that I keep focused on my goals. I also love the feeling of achieving goals, and putting a big check and date next to each.
Part of our big focus this year is paying off any outstanding debt that gets in the way of our ability to double our net worth. In 2016, our net savings rate was 42% (and that includes everything: home equity, kids' college, retirement, etc.). While that number is nothing to scoff at, it won't be enough to keep us on track to double our net worth by December 2019. So, this year, we'll be working to kill off our monthly payments, increase our savings rate, and invest more. We also made it a priority to visit our family in Chile, since it will have been three years since we've seen them at the end of this year. (Wow, that's a big list. Did I say before that I'm optimistic? No wonder I got a second part-time gig).
So how about you? What are you focused on in 2017?

Sound Avenue vineyard's expansion plans shot down by planning board in split vote
Baiting Hollow Farm Vineyard had its application for site plan approval rejected by the Riverhead Planning Board Oct. 7. Photo: Denise Civiletti
A Sound Avenue vineyard's proposal to build a 6,048-square-foot tasting room on its Baiting Hollow site was scuttled by the Riverhead Planning Board Thursday night, with a 3-2 vote against a resolution authorizing the buildout and other site improvements.
The preliminary site plan application of Baiting Hollow Farm Vineyard, located on the north side of Sound Avenue west of Edwards, includes the new tasting room building, which will have wine processing facilities in the basement, as well as a proposed 2,500-square-foot farm equipment building. It also calls for the conversion of an existing 275-square-foot wine processing building to a bathroom facility. The applicant would remove certain structures existing on the site and seeks to legalize others that were built without benefit of permit, according to Riverhead Planning Aide Greg Bergman.
Baiting Hollow Farm Vineyard is under new ownership. The town for several years had been in litigation with the vineyard's pervious owners over alleged violations of town code, including alleged "special events" where food was being served, and outdoor amplified music was being played, "creating unreasonable noise."
The town also sought an injunction to prevent the vineyard from using several structures, including the wine processing facility, which were built without permits. According to the town's court filings, the former owner had a site plan approval from the planning board granted in 2007, but then built structures not depicted on the site plan without permits, expanded parking areas, erected tents without site plan approval or permits, conducting special events at the site without permits and allowing amplified music outdoors,
Amplified music outdoors was again at issue as the planning board considered the vineyard's new site plan application.
Over 100 neighboring residents signed a petition asking the board to ban exterior speakers on the site and prohibit any use other than wine-tasting on the site. Residents and residents of area civic associations spoke in opposition to the application at the planning board's public hearing. Nearby residents said noise from activities at the vineyard is already disturbing their quality of life on their own properties.
Mike Foley of Reeves Park in Riverhead, representing the Sound Park Heights Civic Association, implored the board at the hearing and also during a public comment period last week to reject the application as it stands, which he said is contrary to the intent of the Sound Avenue historic corridor, the town's comprehensive plan and the town zoning code.
Foley called on the board to prohibit wedding receptions and parties at the vineyard, to limit the use to wine-tasting and also ban outdoor music. When a vineyard owner hosts those kinds of events, Foley said, "He's not a vineyard anymore he's a catering hall. Let's call it what it is. And a catering hall does not belong on the historic Sound Avenue corridor."
Foley said the State Agriculture and Markets Law does not state that vineyards can host wedding receptions and parties. He took issue with statements in the resolution to approve the preliminary site plan to the contrary. But the language of the resolution referred not to the statute but to a 2017 Department of Agriculture and Markets guidance document, which said the department "concluded that on-farm wedding receptions, parties and special events (e.g., harvest festivals or distillery, brewery, cidery and wine tastings), including charitable events, held at farms which market their crops as wine, beer, cider and distilled spirits, help market the farm operation's product." Such events are to be "evaluated on a case-by-case basis to determine whether they are protected as part of the farm operation." The guidance document goes on the detail criteria for evaluation.
Foley reminded the planning board of other facilities in town that were approved for uses other than catering but had become event venues, such as a Manor Lane, Jamesport restaurant, and which had become quality of life problems and nuisances for neighbors, he said. The town is currently in litigation with the Jamesport restaurant over these issues, Foley said.
Baiting Hollow resident Gary Danowski, who lives across from the facility, said plans may sound great but "the underbelly of the beast" already includes traffic congestion, litter that drifts onto his property, noxious behavior by visitors who he's seen urinating in his hedge, vomiting in front of his driveway and even having sex "in between the rows" of grapevines.
"As far as the noise goes, I can work in my garage, I don't need a radio any more. I can turn my radio off, the music's loud enough — every weekend from 12 to 6, the music blasts," said Danowski, who said he's lived in the house most of his life.
Wading River Civic Association Sid Bail said that by approving the application, the planning board would set a precedent. "And little by little, it'll be the death by a thousand cuts for the corridor," Bail said. "The business owner has a right to develop his property, but others also have a dog in this hunt," he said.
Northville Beach Civic Association vice president Kathy McGraw said her organization joined every other civic group in opposing the application and called for protection of the historic corridor. McGraw noted that the application provides for 180 parking spaces while the parking requirement for the uses on the site is just 65 spaces.
"I'm not any kind of planning expert. I have no expertise in this area at all. But if it requires 65 spaces, and you're gonna provide 180, just what are you up to there? How many people are going to be coming in and out?" McGraw asked.
She said the board should be very wary of creating another Vineyard 48, a now shuttered vineyard on County Road 48 in Southold that became what residents and town officials described as a night club and party venue. "And we don't want a repeat of that on Sound Avenue," McGraw said.
Vineyard owner Sean Kelly said the homes to the north of the site are more than 1,500 feet from his northern property line.
"There is no way that they're going to hear music from my vinery at those houses," Kelly said.
He also said he and his sons use decibel meters to monitor the noise levels of the music being played at his vineyard. "And we do not play the music, to the point where you could even hear it," Kelly said. He said his staff controls the volume of the sound system at the vineyard and no one who performs there is permitted to bring their own sound system so that the vineyard can have control over the audio levels.
Kelly said every other vineyard on Sound Avenue hosts weddings and the events are "well-contemplated" by the Agriculture and Markets Law.
Planning Board Chairman Stan Carey said he thought the resolution before the board would be "setting a very dangerous precedent for Sound Avenue." Carey said allowing live music and parties at a vineyard "would be a first step in ruining the historical nature of Sound Avenue."
Carey said based on the court decision in the prior litigation with the applicant and the opinion of the town attorney, "It is totally left up to this board whether or not outside music is allowable at these venues," he said.
Board members Richard O'Dea and Joseph Baier joined Carey in voting against the approval.
Members George Nunnaro and Edward Densieski voted to approve.
"When I grew up in Riverhead here, Sound Avenue was mostly potatoes," Densieski said, reading from prepared remarks. "It wasn't that historic and it wasn't that great," he said.
"Now, Sound Avenue is great. It's a destination, and is because of the wineries, because of the farm stands, because of the cider house, etc. etc." he said. "The proposed barn absolutely fits in with historic Sound Avenue. The closest house is about 1,500 feet away from the new barn. The applicant must meet all codes, including noise. I believe the applicant will be a good neighbor," he said. "And the applicant should not be punished because another venue in Jamesport is abusing the town code and is being a bad neighbor. He shouldn't have to pay the price for it," he said.
He said Sound Avenue has changed the "bad reputation" the town had when he was growing up and now Riverhead has "a destination."

Wittgenstein and performance theory
It is amazing how Wittgenstein ideas (especially the ones in his last books) have not known more theoretical developments (at least as vast as Deleuzian theories) in the domain of the performing arts. We propose to follow several of his paths that can help illuminate contemporary stage's life.
the early simile of the "tableau vivant", which is the application of a Baroque performative technique;
his explicit comparison of contemplation in life and in theatre;
the dramatic roots of his concept of language games or language plays (Sprachspiele);
later, his innovative way of conceiving the relationships between the exterior and the interior (and the very idea of the interior);
his theory of the primacy of expression or exteriorization (Ausserung), which is structural in the field of anything happening on stage;
his critique of a private language;
the primacy of action as the basis of our language games and behaviour (even "words are deeds");
the importance he gives to training, or dressage (Abrichtung), so familiar to theatre and dance;
the unsurpassable asymmetries between the 1st person perspective and that of the 3rd person, so familiar to any playwright, director or actor;
reinforced by his late theory of dissimulation.
At the end, projecting excerpts from one or more plays or choreographies, we will briefly try to confirm how these theories can be fertile in the analysis of contemporary performance.
Paulo Filipe Monteiro is full Professor at Universidade Nova de Lisboa. He was dean of the Department of Communication Sciences in 1999-2000 and 2006-2007; he is now chair of the M.A. degree on Performing Arts, and also of the Master's Program in Communication Sciences and of the area Communication and Arts of the PhD Program. He published numerous articles and six books – on art theory and recently on Drama and Communication (this book was awarded the Joaquim de Carvalho Prize by the University of Coimbra for best 2010 book) and on Images of the Image. In theatre, he has worked extensively as playwright, actor (13 plays) and director (16 shows). In cinema and television, as scriptwriter (7 feature films, selected to Cannes, Locarno, Venice, São Paulo, plus 1 tv series) and actor (49 films and series). In 2008, he directed his first short film. Between 2002 and 2006, he was President of the Portuguese Association of Scriptwriters and Playwrights. He was a founder of the Federation of Scriptwriters in Europe, to which board he belonged in 2005. In January 2013, he organized in Lisbon the conference Drama and Philosophy, having as keynotespeakers Martin Puchner, Freddie Rokem, José Gil and Maria Filomena Molder. He is a member of the networks Performance Philosophy and Contemporary Performance.

Launch is a series where we are discovering some of the amazing promises of God. Those promises give us value, define us, and free us to become what and who we are created to be. As a result, we can touch and change the world with the love of Jesus.
Today we look at how we connect to the power source that gives us the fuel we need to launch into the world around us. It is yet another amazing truth and promise from God – and it will change your life!


Long-scale, 000 sized 12-fret Martins from the late 20's are among the most sought-after prewar instruments. This was the biggest, loudest Martin made for steel strings in this era, with a 25.4 inch scale length, the same scale length as a 30's D-45. (The 14-fret 000's of the 30s and later have a shorter, 24.5 inch scale). In no other instrument will you get the resonance (from thin tops and back), combined with the long scale length. It's a big pre-war Martin 12-fret. That's why this instrument is one of the most highly sought-after prewar Martins– and increasingly very difficult to find. But it's all about one thing: the tone, emanating from a large-bodied 12-fret that plays wonderfully, and loud, even with the most delicate fingerpicking. The bass response here is the best you will ever find in any prewar Martin 12-fret guitar.
This wonderful 000-18 was set up restored and set up by none other than Gruhn Guitars in Nashville– to impeccable standards. Gruhn refinished the top, back and sides. Neck, fretboard, headstock, are all original finish. Gruhn also replaced the bridge with a perfectly correct ebony bridge. The guitar has its original bridgeplate. New, period-correct Bar frets were installed by Gruhn.
1 7/8" nut. Mahogany back and sides. Adirondack spruce top. Ebony fingerboard. It has original tuners (gear wheel below worm gear, ivoroid buttons).
The top and back of the guitar are completely crack-free and perfect– with full thickness the same as the day they left the factory. And the totally crack-free top shows absolutely perfect form and shape, with no undue bellying behind the bridge. There are a couple of almost imperceptible side cracks that were addressed by Gruhn, almost impossible to see from the outside.


The Edgecombe unit regulates hunting opportunities for deer in North Carolina and covers 507 square miles. The greater region is best serviced by Rocky Mount, and Kingsboro. This area does not have land available to the public. The elevation of the region ranges from a low of 100 feet to a high of 200 feet above sea level.

A message of Support from ILEP
Page history last edited by happylosheng@gmail.com 12 years, 10 months ago
A message of Support from ILEP (International Federation of Anti Leprosy Associations, UK)
ILEP (the International Federation of anti Leprosy Associations) has 14 Members around the world. We are working for a world without leprosy and continue to work against the stigma and discrimination that is still felt by people affected by leprosy.
As the General Secretary of ILEP, I am writing to apologise that I am unable to join you in your workshop on ensuring the rights of the older generation of people affected by leprosy. I hope that through this message I can convey my solidarity with your objectives and also express the continuing concerns of ILEP over the proposed forcible eviction of the residents of Lo Sheng Hospital in Taiwan from the place that has become their home as well as the proposed complete destruction of this internationally significant site in the history of leprosy.
The forced displacement from their homes of people who were first separated from their families due to society's fear of leprosy and are now facing a second displacement because land rights are being given priority over human rights, is an issue which greatly concerns ILEP.
Prior to the advent of a cure for leprosy, people throughout the world were forcibly separated from their families and isolated in hospitals far removed from society. This was done for the supposed protection of society at great cost to the lives of the individuals and their families. In fact, in some cases, whole family lines came to an end if an only child had leprosy.
Now that the land that many of these hospitals are located on has become valuable, plans are made for the use of the land that does not take into consideration the ethical and humanitarian issues surrounding the repeated displacement of people from the places that have become their homes.
Many countries throughout the world have recognized the historical significance of the leprosy hospitals where people have been isolated as well as the rights of individuals to live out their lives in the places that have become their homes. This has resulted in creative efforts to develop adapted use facilities that work to benefit society in many ways and also provide for preserving the history and the lifestyle of individuals living in these places.
We fervently hope that the government and people of Taiwan will recognize that the residents of Lo Sheng are themselves a national treasure. Through their lives and testimony, they have the ability to teach present and future generations about issues fundamental to the promotion of peace and justice in our world. They have undergone separation from that which was most dear to them yet do not harbour revenge or hatred. They simply request that their history be honoured and that they be allowed to remain in their home.
I hope that we can all work together in a unified effort to ensure that this chapter in Taiwan's history will be remembered as an example of justice and humanity rather than an example of the use of force and coercion against elderly individuals who gave up their families and their futures a lifetime ago in order that society could feel safe.
I wish the participants in your workshop every success.

Today's Headlines and Commentary
By Rachel Bercovitz
Thursday, July 27, 2017, 12:44 PM
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Joseph Dunford announced that the military will not put into practice President Trump's ban on transgender servicemembers until it receives implementation guidance from the Secretary of Defense, Reuters writes. "In the meantime," Dunford wrote to military leaders, "we will continue to treat all our personnel with respect." Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis was given a day of warning on the White House's plan to ban transgender personnel from the military and was "appalled" by the president's decision to tweet out his decision, the New York Times writes. The White House was unable yesterday to answer questions as to what would happen to transgender servicemembers currently deployed.
President Trump has considered installing a new attorney general through a recess appointment should Attorney General Jeff Sessions depart his office, the Washington Post reports. Trump's advisors and attorneys have discouraged him from firing Sessions, which they warn could result in political and legal consequences and would detract from the administration's policy agenda. Interviews with different parties have presented a mixed picture of Trump's seriousness about moving forward with this course of action, suggesting that he has expressed different objectives at different points in time. Senate Democrats have indicated that they intend to use parliamentary stalling measures to prevent a recess appointment by limiting the chamber from formally adjourning during the upcoming August recess for more than one week—the minimum time that must pass before the president may make a recess appointment.
Senior Russian officials reacted forcefully to yesterday's passage by an overwhelming majority in the House of Representatives of new financial sanctions targeting Russia, and suggested the onset of deeper period of tension in U.S.-Russian relations. Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov noted that "the possibilities for [the] normalization of relations in the foreseeable future are closed." The AP reports that the Kremlin is evaluating how to respond, with Russian lawmakers suggesting that the new sanctions would profoundly affect U.S.-Russian cooperation on counterterrorism operations.
Meanwhile, the European Union announced that it would soon act to counter the proposed sanctions, out of concern that the new U.S. sanctions would jeopardize the bloc's energy security. The sanctions would target any company that contributes to the maintenance or modernization of Russia's energy export pipelines, which EU officials say sanctions would undercut at least eight ongoing pipeline development and maintenance projects. In addition, they would pose complications for Western firms that have partnered with Russia's Gazprom to develop the controversial pipeline route known as Nord Stream 2 that would run between Germany and Russia below the Baltic Sea. An EU document outlining the bloc's response strategy calls for securing "demonstrable assurances" from the U.S. that sanctions would not target the interests of Western energy companies, and raises the possibility of invoking an EU regulation to defend against U.S. "extraterritorial' measures and of filing a complaint with the World Trade Organization. These steps would require the approval of the 28 EU member states, an uncertain prospect.
Reuters reports that Russian intelligence agents created fictitious Facebook accounts to secure personal information about French President Emmanuel Macron's campaign associates, adding detail to reports of the Russian campaign to interfere in the French presidential election. Facebook confirmed that it had identified spying efforts traceable to the Russian military intelligence agency, or GRU, during the first round vote, and believed it had deactivated the suspect accounts before phishing attacks on campaign associates could be carried out. Nevertheless, two days before the second round of voting and as the French electoral ban barring campaigning went into effect, campaign documents and email addresses of tens of thousands of campaign officials were published online in an attack U.S. intelligence officials have linked to the GRU. U.S. intelligence agencies identified the GRU as responsible for coordinating the hacking of U.S. targets during the 2016 U.S. presidential election.
Yesterday, the European Union filed a complaint against Poland for proposed legislation that would have fundamentally limited the independence of the country's judiciary. Polish President Andrzej Duda vetoed two of the three pieces of legislation in a surprise move on Monday, following public demonstrations and threats by EU officials to appeal to Article 7, a previously never-invoked provision that could lead to economic sanctions and Poland's loss of voting rights in the bloc. The EU complaint—known formally as the Rule of Law Declaration—triggers legal action that may also result in economic sanctions against Poland.
The House Judiciary Committee voted yesterday along party lines to remove a Democratic resolution to obtain documents concerning President Trump's dismissal of former FBI Director Jim Comey. Republican lawmakers replaced the text with a resolution seeking documents on Comey's conversations with the Obama administration and journalists regarding the 2016 presidential campaign of Hillary Clinton.
Human Rights Watch has alleged that U.S.-trained Iraqi military personnel carried out war crimes in the final period of the campaign to retake Mosul's Old City, Reuters reports. The allegation follows reports of extrajudicial killing by the Iraqi military personnel of ISIS fighters in the weeks since the Iraqi forces claimed victory in Mosul. U.S. troops advising Iraqi forces have reported observing only 5 instances of abuse, raising questions about whether U.S. personnel disregarded the attacks or had simply not been present to observe them.*
Bill Miller, acting head of the State Department's diplomatic security bureau, has submitted his resignation, the Washington Post reports. Miller's departure leaves the bureau—which coordinates security for U.S. embassies and ambassadors worldwide—without leadership in its two most senior positions. Miller is the latest State Department official to resign since President Trump took office, a trend considered more pronounced than in previous administrations. Nearly all State Department senior leadership and political positions remain unfilled. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson is expected to nominate Michael Evanoff, former head of personal security detail to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice during Rice's time in office.

Ben Wittes outlined a defense of his view offered last Thursday that Sessions and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein should jointly resign, and assessed the merits of the opposing view put forth by Jack Goldsmith in the day following.

Did you know that Rock Climbing is one of the fastest growing sports in Australia?
No, this isn't the Rock Climbing that you're thinking of, adrenaline junkies scaling mountains using little to no ropes.
With the existence of indoor climbing gyms, rock climbing is no longer restricted to those who own their own rope, harness and helmet. Everyone can have a go at the walls in a safe, fun, and versatile environment.
In the climbing gym, climbing can be a fun hobby or a competitive sport, slow and steady or jump after jump, a personal journey or a social activity. Whatever it is that everyone, from pre-schoolers to seniors, is looking for, they can find it in rock climbing.
And it's perfect for kids!
Not only is climbing a great physical exercise for kids, developing their strength, flexibility, balance and coordination. It's a great confidence builder!
It's all about getting back on the wall after falling and trying again! About setting goals with themselves and finding the motivation to keep climbing higher and higher, until they've reached the highest point and can see the world (and their family) from heights they've never seen before.
Not too sure how indoor rock climbing works?
At indoor gyms, like Crank Indoor Rock Climbing, climbs are designed as puzzles on a wall. They need solving using different hold combinations and movement sequences (it's a great mental sport!).
These climbs are set using coloured plastic holds, so as climbers are scaling the wall, they use only a certain colour for their hands and feet. The variety of angles, corners and structures along the walls keeps things interesting, and there are even designated kids' sections (think ladders and big, easy to grip handles).
In the indoor gym, the three options for climbing are rope climbing, auto belays, and bouldering.
Rope climbing means that kids can harness their natural curiosity and scale 7-10 metre walls, kept safe by the rope, and the belayer, the person who holds on to the rope. This form of climbing is a great family activity, and perfect for building trust and communication. Children will have to communicate with their belayer when they're ready to start climbing or want to come down and learn to trust that their belayer has a firm grip on the rope.
Auto belays allow climbers to climb solo without the need of belaying assistance; a retracting system at the top of the wall means the rope is automatically tightened against climbers and lets climbers down whenever they want. Meaning parents can choose to relax and watch their children explore new heights or race their young ones up the wall.
And bouldering is no hassle climbing, no gear required (save for chalk and shoes). The challenge is to climb short but tricky climbs at a low height, with a 16-inch crash pad underneath you. The best part about this form of climbing is that you can climb solo, or you can climb with a group of friends and family! The walls are so low that they can yell out advice and encouragement, or just egg you on! If you find that your kids are going stir crazy cooped up in the house on those rainy days, try out Indoor Rock Climbing, the perfect fun family activity that everyone is sure to enjoy.
