Against Clint's wishes he was committed to a rehab program in San Francisco. He was not yet ready to give in to the opinions of friends around him; he could handle this; get me out of here. He felt he was in a penitentiary, unfairly imprisoned by his wife and Warden Tina. Initially the plan was to keep Clint for a month but one month turned into six. The ups and downs of Clint's six months in the rehab centre are described in detail in his book The Crazy Game and worth reading but too detailed to record here. Somehow Tina and her colleagues managed to keep Clint in the program until he was able to let go of his demons. In April of 2009 he was discharged – a different man. Upon his discharge he bade a grateful and emotional farewell to his fellow patients and staff at the rehab centre. He gives credit to Warden Tina for his successful recovery. Outside, he joined an AA group and a church. Furthermore he made a pledge to write his story perhaps not fully aware of the challenges this would present. During an interview with Rinne, Clint told him the book was a calling. "I was spared for a reason, so I said, I'll do a book and I knuckled down and got things going. And it got tough. If I wanted to help others, I knew I had to dig into those dark places, even though I am good now, I was in a really bad place and I knew I had to talk about it if it was going to help. That's why it was so hard and also why it helps." Writing the book was not the end of Clint's emotional struggles. He had two relapses following his discharge from the rehab centre, the last slip occurring as the final chapters of his biography were unfolding. Slips are not uncommon for recovering addicts but they are very dangerous. We can all be thankful for his recovery. Clint reports that writing The Crazy Game was the hardest thing he ever did. Details of his relapse are recorded in his book: a book that is dedicated to the two most important people in his life: his mother Jean and his wife Joanie. His mother was his Guardian angel during his early years – Joanie his faithful partner and guardian through the most challenging years of his mental illness and addiction.


If your child's feet turn inward, he is said to be pigeon-toed, or have intoeing. It's a very common problem that may involve one or both feet and occurs for a variety of reasons.
Intoeing during infancy usually is due to a turning in of the front part of the foot (the forefoot) and is called metatarsus adductus. It may be due to the baby's position in the uterus or other causes.
When you look at the foot from the bottom while the child is resting, you see that the front portion turns inward.
The outer side of your child's foot (opposite his big toe) is curved like a half-moon.
Usually this condition is mild and will resolve before the child's first birthday. Sometimes it is more severe or is accompanied by other foot deformities that result in a problem called "clubfoot." This condition requires a consultation with a pediatric orthopedist and early casting or splinting.
If you notice that your child is toeing in during his second year, it is most likely due to inward twisting of the shinbone (tibia). This condition is called internal tibial torsion. If your child is between ages 3 and 10 and has intoeing, it is probably due to an inward turning of the thighbone (femur), a condition called medial femoral torsion. Both of these conditions tend to run in families.
If you observe the condition to be severe enough to affect your child's walking or running, ask the pediatrician to examine your child's feet.
Some experts feel no treatment is necessary for intoeing in an infant under 6 months of age. For severe metatarsis adductus in infancy, brief, early casting is appropriate. In cases where there are different opinions, it is best to follow the advice of your own pediatrician. It does appear that the majority of infants who have intoeing in early infancy will outgrow it with no treatment.
If your baby's intoeing persists after 6 months, or if it is rigid and difficult to straighten out, your doctor may recommend a series of casts applied over a period of three to six weeks. The pediatrician will refer you to a pediatric orthopedist. The main goal is to correct the condition before your child starts walking.
Intoeing in early childhood usually clears on its own, but if your child has trouble walking because of turning of the tibia, further discussion with your pediatrician and orthopedic consultant is required. The night brace, used in the past for this problem, has not been shown to be an effective treatment.
If your child's intoeing remains severe when he is 9 or 10 years old, he may require surgery to correct it.
Because intoeing so often corrects itself over time, it is very important not to use nonprescribed "treatments," such as corrective shoes, twister cables, daytime bracing, exercises, shoe inserts and back manipulations. These do not correct the problem and are, in fact, harmful because they interfere with normal play or walking and may even cause additional deformity. Furthermore, a child in these braces unnecessarily faces the emotional strain caused by his playmates' ridicule.

Willi Apel (* 10. Oktober 1893 in Konitz (heute Chojnice); † 14. März 1988 in Bloomington, Indiana, USA) war ein in Deutschland geborener US-amerikanischer Musikwissenschaftler.

Leben
Willi Apel wurde im damals westpreußischen Konitz geboren. Sein 1912 begonnenes Mathematikstudium unterbrach er in Folge des Ersten Weltkriegs und setzte es von 1918 bis 1922 an verschiedenen Universitäten der Weimarer Republik fort. In dieser Zeit vertiefte sich sein Interesse an Musik, bis er zum hauptberuflichen Musikologen und zu  einem der einflussreichsten Musikwissenschaftler des 20. Jahrhunderts wurde. Er studierte in Berlin Klavier und Musikwissenschaften und wurde 1936 mit einer Arbeit über "Accidentien und Tonalität in den Musikdenkmälern des 15. und 16. Jahrhunderts" promoviert. Noch im gleichen Jahr emigrierte Apel in die USA. Hier unterrichtete er von 1936 bis 1943 an der "Longy School of Music" in Cambridge (Massachusetts). Von 1938 bis 1942 war er Professor an der Harvard University und am Radcliffe College, von 1950 bis 1970 unterrichtete er Musikwissenschaften an der Indiana University. Seit 1963 emeritiert, verstarb er 1988.

Zu seinen umfangreichen Nachschlagewerken gehören das 1944 veröffentlichte Harvard Dictionary of Music sowie die Historical Anthology of Music, die er 1949 gemeinsam mit Archibald Thompson Davison herausgab. Er verfolgte dabei den Ansatz, der Musik des Mittelalters, der Renaissancemusik und der Weltmusik ebenso viel Aufmerksamkeit wie bekannten Klassikern im Range von Mozart oder Beethoven zukommen zu lassen.

Nach seinem Tod gründete seine Witwe Ursula Apel-Siemering zu seinem Andenken eine Stiftung zur Förderung der Studenten Alter Musik an der "School of Music" der Indiana University.

Memorial Day was officially proclaimed on 5 May 1868 by General John Logan, national commander of the Grand Army of the Republic, in his General Order No.11, and was first observed on 30 May 1868, when flowers were placed on the graves of Union and Confederate soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery. The first state to officially recognize the holiday was New York in 1873. By 1890 it was recognized by all of the northern states. The South refused to acknowledge the day, honoring their dead on separate days until after World War I (when the holiday changed from honoring just those who died fighting in the Civil War to honoring Americans who died fighting in any war). It is now celebrated in almost every State on the last Monday in May (passed by Congress with the National Holiday Act of 1971 (P.L. 90 - 363) to ensure a three day weekend for Federal holidays), though several southern states have an additional separate day for honoring the Confederate war dead: January 19 in Texas, April 26 in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and Mississippi; May 10 in South Carolina; and June 3 (Jefferson Davis' birthday) in Louisiana and Tennessee.

Home Private Equity News & Analysis Australian private equity: Down Under, but not out
Australian private equity: Down Under, but not out
Australia's private equity market has struggled to find exits and certain sectors have taken a beating from the coronavirus, but there are reasons for Australian firms to be optimistic.
Australian private equity firms could be forgiven for writing off 2020; the ash from months of catastrophic bushfires earlier this year had barely cooled when the country was plunged into coronavirus lockdown.
The market had been reasonably active in preceding years. Private equity deal value climbed 18 percent to $12 billion in 2019 and the number of transactions fell just 5 percent to 52, according to Bain & Co's Asia-Pacific Private Equity Report 2020. Eight of the 20 largest transactions in Australia over the past decade occurred in 2018 or later, per S&P Global Market Intelligence.
Although domestic firms raised $1.2 billion across seven funds last year, the lowest total since 2013, this was on the back of $8.6 billion across 16 funds the previous year, according to PEI data. The private capital industry has $13 billon of dry powder available to deploy in Australia as of May, according to the Australian Investment Council.
Major deals of the past 12 months include Silver Lake's $1.3 billion acquisition of ticketing business TEG in October, KKR's $1.1 billion investment into wealth management company Colonial First State in May and Chicago-based Madison Dearborn's purchase of a controlling stake in disability employment service provider APM for around $470 million in March.
"The larger end of the market is very competitive and contested. It's a small space and everything's been picked over," Neil Stanford, head of private equity at Australian superannuation fund Hostplus, told Private Equity International in September. "Managers talk about deals that have fallen through because an overseas manager has come in, a competitor's got a strategic advantage over them or they couldn't compete on price."
Exits suffered last year, with transaction values plummeting 78 percent to just $3 billion and exit count falling 73 percent to 12, per Bain & Co. KKR was among those stung by pricing, having cancelled a planned intial public offering for lender Latitude Financial in October because investors wouldn't match the expected value, Reuters reported.
Australia has dealt with covid-19 reasonably well compared with its western peers: at the time of writing, the country had confirmed 7,263 cases and 102 deaths. Neighbouring New Zealand – often the joint target of Australia funds – lifted nearly all restrictions in early June after declaring itself virus-free.
However, private markets haven't escaped unscathed. Some 81 percent of private capital-backed companies in Australia had stopped some or all commercial activities due to coronavirus restrictions as of May and 75 percent had been forced to reduce their workforce, cutting more than 6,000 jobs, according to the AIC.
The Australian government introduced a coronavirus-related JobKeeper Payment programme in March similar to the Payroll Protection Program in the US and, while the hurdles were initially difficult to meet for private equity-backed companies, it later changed the eligibility criteria to include alternate tests to assess a fall in turnover, among others.
"It's clear the government JobKeeper programme has played a very profound role in supporting business viability during the height of the pandemic"
Yasser El-Ansary, AIC
"While we have seen large scale job losses in some sectors of the economy, particularly in those B2C sectors like hospitality and tourism, it's clear the government JobKeeper programme has played a very significant, very profound role in supporting business viability during the height of the pandemic," Yasser El-Ansary, chief executive of the AIC, tells PEI.
"That being the case, there's also a level of cautiousness around what happens when some of those programmes are no longer there."
Dealmaking has taken a hit. In April, EQT's portfolio company Asia Pacific Village Group, owned by its fourth infrastructure fund, withdrew an offer to acquire New Zealand retirement village owner and operator Metlifecare for around NZ$1.5 billion ($911.5 million; €835.4 million) citing the material adverse change clause in its share implementation agreement.
But the pandemic has also spawned opportunities. Australian theme park and cinema operator Village Roadshow, for example, granted buyout firm BGH Capital exclusive access to its books in May, despite the firm cutting its initial offer by 40 percent after the crackdown on public venues.
"This environment is super interesting and scary at the same time," Jonathan Lim, managing partner and founder of Australian deal-by-deal firm Liverpool Partners, says.
"Some valuations have actually gone up because companies that have survived covid-19 have risen to the apex of the food chain. Listed comparables for things like cloud businesses have trended upwards so they're becoming more expensive."
Liquidity concerns
While private equity managers are well-stocked with capital, there were fears earlier this year that Australia's superannuation funds might encounter liquidity issues due to early
withdrawals.
The government changed regulations in April to allow people suffering from financial hardship as a result of covid-19 to access up to A$10,000 ($6,859; €6,116) from their superannuation accounts before 30 June this year, as well as an additional A$10,000 after that date.
Superannuation funds had paid out almost A$16 billion under the Covid-19 Early Release Scheme as of 14 June, according to the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority.
"Many people underestimated the liquidity of these funds," Mano Mohankumar, senior investment research manager at superannuation research firm Chant West, notes. "We've seen little evidence of any forced selling of unlisted assets and, so far, they've been able to maintain or track very closely to their preferred asset allocations."
"Consolidation should be a net positive to the way superannuation funds go about committing to private equity"
Steve Byrom, Potentum Partners
Australian superannuation funds had a 4 percent allocation to private equity and venture capital as of April 2019, according to the AIC. This is well below the 16 percent held at the time by Future Fund, Australia's A$162 billion sovereign wealth fund, and 8 percent by the US's 200 largest pension funds.
What the Covid-19 Early Release Scheme could mean for illiquid appetites remains to be seen.
"Superannuation funds have had access open up via the Covid-19 Early Release Scheme so they've wanted to hold a bit more cash and are holding back a bit on making new illiquid investments," Steve Byrom, founding partner of LP advisory Potentum Partners and former head of private equity at Future Fund, says.
"There's a bit of uncertainty around how much to allocate due to a combination of early access withdrawals and market volatility."
But rising consolidation means domestic LPs could pack more of a punch in future.
First State Super and VicSuper are set to create an A$128 billion superfund on 1 July, while MTAA Super and Tasplan are in talks to create a A$24 billion tie-up. In 2019, QSuper and Sunsuper began initial discussions to create a A$188 billion entity, and Hostplus completed a merger with the $600 million Club Super.
These mergers are driven in part by the desire to lower costs to beneficiaries through economies of scale and to carry more weight in the private markets, sister title Infrastructure Investor reported in March. Larger funds could internalise parts of the investment process or use their increased scale to commit capital alongside fund managers, rather than only into pooled funds.
AustralianSuper, the country's largest superannuation fund, for example, has already started co-underwriting deals and reportedly did so for BGH Capital's A$2.3 billion acquisition of education business Navitas last year.
"There are economies of scale to be had in asset management because you need to spend a lot of time relationship building and that requires a lot of bodies," Byrom adds. "Consolidation should be a net positive to the way superannuation funds go about committing to private equity."
The potential for greater domestic appetites should come as welcome news for a market grappling with how to treat international investors.
Previously, foreign investments in sensitive businesses such as telecommunications and transport had been subject to a A$275 million threshold for monetary screening, or A$0 for any entity classed as a foreign government investor, which included public pension funds or sovereign wealth funds.
In March, the federal government temporarily strengthened foreign investment rules amid concerns over international companies, particularly from China, launching takeovers of distressed Australian firms battling with coronavirus.
Monetary screening thresholds for all sectors and investor types were reduced to A$0 and the Foreign Investment Review Board assessment process extended from 30 days to six months.
This was a potential concern for GPs with significant exposure to foreign LP capital. However, the regulations were altered in June to stipulate that private equity investors would no longer be treated as FGIs purely by virtue of passive upstream investors who are foreign government entities, and will instead be subject to the same monetary thresholds as other foreign investors, per a note from law firm White & Case.
The government intends to make these revised rules permanent from January 2021. That private equity will not be unduly punished for its exposure to foreign capital will come as welcome news to GPs.
"We're seeing a significant delay in approvals of FIRB applications even before the threshold was changed in March," a managing director at an Australian private equity firm tells PEI on condition of anonymity. "If a seller is tossing up between two buyers who've offered a similar price, they might be more inclined to choose the one that doesn't require FIRB approval."

An Open Letter To President Trump
Dear Mr. President,
Congratulations on your inauguration. Friday truly was a celebration of democracy. However, Mr. President, I have to be honest with you: I was not your biggest fan.
When I first heard about your candidacy, I laughed. When primary season began, I worked hard to keep you from becoming my party's candidate. I didn't appreciate your rhetoric, your arrogance, or your platform. I believed there were many more qualified candidates with more honor and integrity for the position and I fought to see them succeed over you. However, this summer, our party picked you.
I was upset, confused, and angry to say the least. I dreaded the coming months of campaigning but I dreaded your opponent more.
The way I saw it, I had two viable options. In an unfortunate, ironic turn of events you were one of them and Hillary Clinton was the other. Last summer, after the RNC, I had a decision to make, a decision I was neither thrilled nor all that confident about.
I chose you, Donald J. Trump as my preferred candidate in the 2016 race for the White House. My morals and ideals would not allow me to back Hillary. My fear of Mrs. Clinton's Supreme Court nomination and my hope in the Republican Party guided me toward what seemed like a hopeless decision.
So I did. I backed you, I supported you, I cheered you on. When you made a public faux-pas I cringed, and when you made bold, conservative promises I smiled. You were not my first choice, but you were the one my party chose therefore, you were my guy.
In the weeks leading up to November 8th, I was a nervous wreck. I couldn't speak about the grim realities the polls predicted. To me, a Hillary Clinton presidency was an unfathomable reality. Not since FDR has one party held more than 2 consecutive terms. As the polls and the pundits predicted Hillary's landslide victory, I grew increasingly nervous and dejected. A Clinton victory, to me, symbolized an end of morality in our country. I knew that under a Madam President Clinton "progressivism" would be celebrated and evangelical ideals would be squashed beneath new social policies that lead us further and further away from the ideals of a Nation Under God.
That's why November 8th was such an incredible, exciting night for me. No, I was not overwhelmingly thrilled to see a former reality TV star/ billionaire business mogul secure the most powerful office in the nation. I was, however, full of hope and exploding with excitement to see "We the People" take a stand against political correctness, against so called "progressivism", against the corruption of Washington. On November 8th, our nation took a step back to what our Founding Fathers had intended.
Did our founding fathers envision a man like you taking the oath of office? No. But they did, however, dream of a democracy that elected average citizens to be public servants. Mr. Trump, I don't appreciate your vulgarity or your tendency to speak off the cuff. I do appreciate your vast experience in the business world, and most of all, I appreciate the fact that you're not a politician.
I have hope, Mr. President, that the promises you've made will be promises kept. I hope you will lean on the opinions and advice of your cabinet and put good, conservative policies into place that will put our nation back on track and repair the damages of the past 8 years. I hope, more than anything, that the gravity of the position will humble you and that you won't let us down.
One year ago I rooted against you. Today, despite my doubts and fears, I root for you with all I have in me. Mr. President, I am begging you: prove them wrong. Prove wrong all the naysayers, all of those who hope to see you fall, all of those who protested you and doubted you. Mr. President, if you fail, we all fail.
I am on your side, not because of blind optimism, patriotism, or partisanship, but because I have faith in your position and I want to see America prosper.
You have an incredible opportunity in your hands and you have a choice to make, Mr. President. Are you going to be the president you've promised to be?

One thought on "An Open Letter To President Trump"
Joshua Andersen says:
Great letter! I am in the same boat. He was not my first pick but he seems to be standing for my values for now. What all the nay sayers don't realize is that Conservatives are watching him just as closely as the left.

Why the US government hack is literally keeping security experts awake at night
"I woke up in the middle of the night last night just sick to my stomach," said Theresa Payton, who served as White House Chief Information Officer under President George W. Bush. "On a scale of 1 to 10, I'm at a 9 — and it's not because of what I know; it's because of what we still don't know."
On Sunday evening, the Commerce Department acknowledged it had been hit by a data breach after Reuters first reported that sophisticated hackers compromised the agency through a third-party software vendor known as SolarWinds.
Experts are increasingly questioning the reliance of many businesses on just a handful of third-party vendors, and saying that perhaps society makes it a little too easy for data to be accessed or shared, particularly during a pandemic when working remotely is normal for countless individuals.

This Sunday the Tennessee Titans (2-1) will host the Philadelphia Eagles (2-1). Kickoff is set for 1:00 EST at Nissan Stadium and will be televised locally on FOX.
Taking a look at the Week 4 NFL betting odds, the books opened this one up with the Eagles as a 3-point road favorite (heavy juice), but that's since been bet up to -4. The total for this contest is currently at 41.5 points.
Philadelphia comes into this one off a 20-16 win at home over the Colts in Carson Wentz's first game back, but failed to cover for a second straight week as a 6.5-point favorite. The Eagles were a bit fortunate just to come away with the win, as they trailed in the 4th quarter and the Colts had the ball 1st and 10 at the Philadelphia 11-yard line with less than 2 minutes to play and down just 4-points.
Tennessee enters off a surprising 9-6 win on the road over the Jaguars as a 10-point underdog. It was a defensive battle to say the least, as the two teams combined for just 465 total yards and neither team was able to find the end zone. The most impressive thing about that win for the Titans was the fact that they won a game in today's pass-happy NFL with a mere 83 yards passing.
I would have to lean towards laying the small number with Philadelphia in this one. No question this will be one of the biggest public plays on the board, but I think that we are getting a favorable number here with the Eagles having failed to cover their last two and not exactly looking all that great in Wentz's first game back.
More than anything, there's no way i'm holding a ticket on the Titans as a mere 4-point dog with that offense they are sending out on the field. Tennessee just has no threat of a passing attack, especially after losing their biggest weapon on the outside in Delanie Walker. Coming into this game the Titans rank 29th in the NFL at just 162 ypg thru the air.
While Tennessee does have a strong ground game, that's not going to do them a lot of good against this Eagles defense. Philadelphia leads the NFL in run defense, giving up just 61.7 ypg.
As for the Titans defense, which has looked great their last two games against the Texans and Jaguars, I don't think its sustainable. Tennessee has played three really bad offenses to start the year and the numbers suggest they aren't that good. The Titans are giving up 4.8 yards/carry against the run and opposing quarterbacks have completed 67% of their pass attempts against them.
I wasn't shocked to see Wentz and the Eagles offense struggle to get going in his first game back, but I'm not all that concerned with the offense going forward. Wentz completed 25 of 37 attempts for 255 yards and would have thrown for more if the offensive line didn't play so poorly. That's also a much better Colts defense than people think, as they have really upgraded the talent on that side of the ball.
Tennessee is also not a team you want to back off a cover, as they are just 16-36-1 ATS in their last 53 games after an ATS win. They are also just 17-39-2 ATS in their last 58 off a win and a mere 5-13-1 ATS in their last 19 home games. Give me the Eagles -4.

The Drovers Inn: A guide to Loch Lomond's most haunted pub
Christine Miller
Strange and ghostly things happen at The Drovers Inn near Loch Lommond, CHRISTINE MILLER heads there to find out what's going on…
The Drovers Inn, not far from Loch Lomond in Inverarnan, Stirlingshire, Scotland, has stood for over 300 years.
It has provided a welcome drink and a comfy bed for thousands of weary travellers, cattle drovers (from where it gets its name) and the vast number of tourists who come to walk the stunning West Highland Way.
The Drovers Inn is impossible to miss with its aging stone exterior and rustic windows and overall eerie feel.
Upon entering, a plethora of taxidermy bombards the more squeamish of visitors. A large stuffed black bear silently growls at you from his plinth.
Welcoming and warm, but plenty of ghosts!
The atmosphere is unmistakably welcoming and warm, at least in part due to the cosy wood fire that burns in the bar area. When full of jovial tourists and locals, the building has a welcoming feel.
The Drovers Inn in Stirlingshire has many tales of ghosts and hauntings
However, given the vast amount of ghost sightings the inn has claimed, one might not feel so relaxed after hours. With 300 years of history, it would perhaps be surprising if there was not a ghostly tale associated with the inn. In fact, it is often given the title of most haunted inn in Scotland, if not the UK.
Paranormal sightings of 'George' and 'Angus' at The Drovers Inn
There have been numerous ghostly sightings over the years.
A more recent one is that of George, a regular to the inn in life (and now death) has been witnessed in the bar area. His ashes are kept in the bar as a touching gesture to a much-loved patron.
More ominously though, is the spirit of Angus the Drover, who was allegedly murdered not far from the inn, and who still walks the aged corridors of the inn screaming into the night.
One of the most famous paranormal tales connected with the area is that of a family who in 1792 were forced from their rented land by their landlord, who believing the land would be more profitable for sheep, drove the family to travel south to the lowlands in search of work and a home.
They would never see their plan accomplished. One night when they were travelling (as is commonplace in Scotland in winter months) a sudden and heavy storm came down disorientating them, and tragically they succumbed to the elements not far from The Drovers Inn.
This family has allegedly been seen on a number of occasions standing at the bottom of the bed in one of the upstairs bedrooms freezing cold with their breathe clearly visible in the air.
Most haunted bedroom is room 6
By far the most haunted bedroom in the inn is room 6.
A young girl who drowned in the river Falloch just behind the inn after falling into the frigid waters attempting to rescue her dropped doll, had her lifeless body laid out in this room, and more than one petrified guest have borne witness to an icy cold, small, wet body climbing into bed beside them in the dead of night.
The room itself is notoriously hard to heat at the best of times; while the radiators are maxed out, there is still an icy chill in the room.
One couple who recently stayed in room 6 stated that the main door to their room would open and close in the middle of the night, even when it was locked.
Initially more irked than unnerved by events, the man arose from bed to order the prankster to desist from his/her night-time mischief.
Knocking all the other doors in the hallway, he was startled to learn that all rooms were unoccupied (by the living, at least) that evening.
An unsettling face has been seen from rooms 6 window from the outside. Only when looking back on photos have people realised that they may have possibly captured something paranormal.
Ghostly child in pink seen in reception area
A ghostly child in pink has been seen in the reception area and on the stairs, even apparently appearing in tourist photographs.
One woman who took the photo became curious, having not witnessed any children in the hotel that night, telephoned to inquire about this mystery child.
The staff informed the woman in no uncertain circumstances was there any child in and around the bar or reception area, and neither was there one staying in any of the rooms upstairs.

Paid Notice: Deaths CANNISTRACI, DR. ANDREW J.
CANNISTRACI-Dr. Andrew J. Noted dentist, author, and lecturer died on June 12, 1998 following a stroke. Beloved father of Camille Cannistraci and Laura Carthy. Loving grandfather of Theresa and Terrence. Dear brother of Maria DeFrancisci and brother-inlaw of Ignatius DeFrancisci and Rose Merritt. Devoted friend of Phyllis Seidenfrau. Survived by six fond nieces and nephews. Reposing at Farenga Bros. Funeral Home, 920 Allerton Ave., Bronx until Monday, 10:15 AM. Mass of Christian Burial at St. Clare's Church at 11:15 AM.


Authorities on Monday decided to suspend train services from Banihal to Baramulla and vice versa in Kashmir in wake of the strike called by the Joint Resistance Leadership (JRL) on the 35th anniversary of Mohammad Maqbool Bhat.
A railway official said that the decision to suspend train service has been taken as a "precautionary measure" in wake of apprehension of law and order problems in the Valley.
Pertinently, the JRL comprising Syed Ali Geelani, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Muhammad Yasin Malik had called for complete shutdown and protests to observe the anniversary and to reiterate the demand for the return of mortal remains of Maqbool Bhat.


Outspoken broadband provider Tiscali has crossed swords with Ashley Highfield, the BBC's top technology executive, over calls he made for ISPs to lump the potentially devastating effect of the iPlayer on their business.
Since the launch of the popular streaming service, the iPlayer is costing ISPs dear, with one reporting a trebling of its streaming bandwidth charges. ISPs were already operating on razor-thin margins.
Simon Gunter, strategy chief at Tiscali, today echoed the industry scorn directed at Highfield last week, and reported by The Register . He charged that it's a "bit rich that a publicly-funded organisation is telling a commercial body how to run its business," the BBC reports.
Highfield's blog posting, published 2 April, suggested a 19-point plan for ISPs to handle the boost in bandwidth costs fired by the iPlayer. Many of his ideas were quickly shot down as unworkable, however, or seen as demonstrating a misunderstanding of how the market is regulated. He asserted providers should offer unlimited bandwidth - a pipe dream in the most literal sense.
The BBC technology chief went on to threaten that ISPs who don't allow iPlayer traffic through unhindered at all times might expect to be named and shamed. "Content providers, if they find their content being specifically squeezed, shaped, or capped, could start to indicate on their sites which ISPs their content works best on (and which to avoid)," he wrote.
Gunter replied today: "Inflammatory comments about blacklisting ISPs do not help. There seems to be a lack of understanding about how networks are built. Either we are not explaining it properly or it is falling on deaf ears."
Tiscali's broadband packages are some of the most aggressively priced on the market, and it has no intention of changing that strategy. "The BBC would like us to pass all those [iPlayer bandwidth] costs on to the end user," Gunter said. Tiscali is instead demanding help from the BBC licence fee to cover the charges rather than slap a "BBC tax" on broadband subscriptions.
One possible solution, a distributed content delivery network, described here, is already under consideration at the BBC, but Highfield today said the BBC should not be expected to pay for distribution. "I don't think that's what the BBC is funded to do," he protested.
"It may be putting extra strain on the network but it would be a bit odd for the BBC to fund such an upgrade."

Age of the Gods: Goddess of Wisdom Online Slot Review
The Age of the Gods: Goddess of Wisdom online slot is the latest in the Age of the Gods series developed by Playtech. The five-reel, 20-payline progressive slot climbs the heights of Mount Olympus to dance with the mythical Greek Gods. The Goddess of Wisdom Athena takes centre stage, while the reels are set between marble columns decorated in gold.
It is one of eight games in the progressive jackpot series that has re-introduced players to the mighty gods and titans including Apollo, Poseidon, Hercules and King of the Gods, Zeus. The first games were launched by Playtech in May 2016, and the software provider has added several new titles to the channel.
Fans of Playtech casinos will know that with the Age of the Gods: Goddess of Wisdom slot they can expect a well-polished game based on larger-than-life characters. The company has also recently developed slots based on DC Comic characters including a series tied to Adam West's 1960s Batman TV show, with games such as Batman and Catwoman Cash, Batman and Batgirl Bonanza, and Batman and the Riddler Riches.
About Age of the Gods: Goddess of Wisdom Online Slot Game
As soon as players start the Age of the Gods: Goddess of Wisdom slot, they're transported to Ancient Greece to climb to a temple on Mount Olympus in an attempt to meet Athena. They'll seek to lay eyes on her fabled beauty and learn from her words of wisdom so they can see one of the four progressive jackpots that are randomly triggered during the game.
Playtech's team of developers has continued to impress with the latest title in the Age of the Gods series, with seamless animation, blockbuster visuals, and a thunderous score. This is all capped with the potential to win a life-changing progressive jackpot. All this is why you'll find this slot featured across all the top slot sites.
Features, Specials and Symbols
As well as the progressive jackpot, the Age of the Gods: Goddess of Wisdom slot machine offers multiple ways of winning big during the game itself. The highest-scoring symbol is the shield, marked by the head of the Gorgon Medusa. In the mythological tale, you'd be turned to stone for looking her in the eye, but here Medusa's head will grant you a win of 5,000-times the initial bet if landing a full payline.
Athena herself is the game's wild icon. She appears on the middle three reels only, and can be substituted for all symbols except the owl scatter. The owl carries a scroll that heralds the Battle Game bonus feature, and players will enter this if three or more of these winged messengers appear on the reels.
Once the bonus Battle Mode engages, players must defend the city from attack. Athena will grant you one of three bonuses to choose from – ten free spins, seven free spins with a times-four multiplier, or 14 free spins with times-two multiplier. During the free games, all of Athena's wilds will fill up the full reel they appear on. Age of the Gods: Goddess of Wisdom is clearly not just another slot game so don't miss the action!

Such stupid things we waste time on! I had a RIA service which was supposed to return some entities and their entity-based properties. My troubleshooting clearly showed the entities being present in the service but none of the included entity properties arrived at the client filled out. Fiddler proved that these entities weren't being serialized. So where were they? The problem was that it was an Invoke operation. I guess I didn't fully understand the difference between Invoke and Load operations. Very important!
An Invoke operation is intended to return scalar or single-Entity values. In fact, it can even return a collection of Entities, but it specifically won't return nested properties. It makes sense when you realize that by definition, Invoke operations don't return tracked entities. Returning a fully populated object graph without the tracking is seldom something you really want. Unfortunately, I had to switch into calling two service methods: one to do some entity creation, then a second call to retrieve the created objects as a complete graph. Clearly not super difficult, but until you realize the limitation you just bang your head against the wall!

In this study, we advance the understanding of botmaster-owned systems in an advanced botnet, Waledac, through the analysis of file-system and network trace data from the upper-tiers in its architecture. The functionality and existence of these systems has to-date only been postulated as existing knowledge has generally been limited to behavioral observations from hosts infected by bot binaries. We describe our new findings for this botnet relating to botmaster interaction, topological nuances, provided services, and malicious output, providing a more complete view of the botnet infrastructure and insight into the motivations and methods of sophisticated botnet deployment. The exposure of these explicit details of Waledac reveals and clarifies overall trends in the construction of advanced botnets with tiered architectures, both past, such as the Storm botnet which featured a highly similar architecture, and future. Implications of our findings are discussed, addressing how the botnet's auditing activities, authenticated spam dispersion technique, repacking method, and tier utilization affect remediation and challenge current notions of botnet configuration and behavior.
Recent work has leveraged botnet infiltration techniques to track the activities of bots over time, particularly with regard to spam campaigns. Building on our previous success in reverseengineering C&C protocols, we have conducted a 4-month infiltration of the MegaD botnet, beginning in October 2009. Our infiltration provides us with constant feeds on MegaD's complex and evolving C&C architecture as well as its spam operations, and provides an opportunity to analyze the botmasters' operations. In particular, we collect significant evidence on the MegaD infrastructure being managed by multiple botmasters. Further, FireEye's attempt to shutdown MegaD on Nov. 6, 2009, which occurred during our infiltration, allows us to gain an inside view on the takedown and how MegaD not only survived it but bounced back with significantly greater vigor. In addition, we present new techniques for mining information about botnet C&C architecture: "Google hacking" to dig out MegaD C&C servers and "milking" C&C servers to extract not only the spectrum of commands sent to bots but the C&C's overall structure. The resulting overall picture then gives us insight into MegaD's management structure, its complex and evolving C&C architecture, and its ability to withstand takedown.
We present a study of Fake Anti-Virus attacks on the web. Fake AV software masquerades as a legitimate security product with the goal of deceiving victims into paying registration fees to seemingly remove malware from their computers. Our analysis of 240 million web pages collected by Google's malware detection infrastructure over a 13 month period discovered over 11,000 domains involved in Fake AV distribution. We show that the Fake AV threat is rising in prevalence, both absolutely, and relative to other forms of web-based malware. Fake AV currently accounts for 15% of all malware we detect on the web. Our investigation reveals several characteristics that distinguish Fake AVs from other forms of web-based malware and shows how these characteristics have changed over time. For instance, Fake AV attacks occur frequently via web sites likely to reach more users including spam web sites and on-line Ads. These attacks account for 60% of the malware discovered on domains that include trending keywords. As of this writing, Fake AV is responsible for 50% of all malware delivered via Ads, which represents a five-fold increase from just a year ago.
This paper presents a set of exploits an adversary can use to continuously spy on most BitTorrent users of the Internet from a single machine and for a long period of time. Using these exploits for a period of 103 days, we collected 148 million IPs downloading 2 billion copies of contents. We identify the IP address of the content providers for 70% of the BitTorrent contents we spied on. We show that a few content providers inject most contents into BitTorrent and that those content providers are located in foreign data centers. We also show that an adversary can compromise the privacy of any peer in BitTorrent and identify the big downloaders that we define as the peers who subscribe to a large number of contents. This infringement on users' privacy poses a significant impediment to the legal adoption of BitTorrent.
In this paper, we propose WebCop to identify malicious web pages and neighborhoods of malware on the internet. Using a bottom-up approach, telemetry data from commercial Anti-Malware (AM) clients running on millions of computers first identify malware distribution sites hosting malicious executables on the web. Next, traversing hyperlinks in a web graph constructed from a commercial search engine crawler in the reverse direction quickly discovers malware landing pages linking to the malware distribution sites. In addition, the malicious distribution sites and web graph are used to identify neighborhoods of malware, locate additional executables distributed on the internet which may be unknown malware and identify false positives in AM signatures. We compare the malicious URLs generated by the proposed method with those found by a commercial, drive-by download approach and show that lists are independent; both methods can be used to identify malware on the internet and help protect end users.
In this paper we explore the potential of leveraging properties inherent to domain registrations and their appearance in DNS zone files to predict the malicious use of domains proactively, using only minimal observation of known-bad domains to drive our inference. Our analysis demonstrates that our inference procedure derives on average 3.5 to 15 new domains from a given known-bad domain. 93% of these inferred domains subsequently appear suspect (based on third-party assessments), and nearly 73% eventually appear on blacklists themselves. For these latter, proactively blocking based on our predictions provides a median headstart of about 2 days versus using a reactive blacklist, though this gain varies widely for different domains.
In this paper, we present an approach for detecting e-mail spam originating hosts, spam bots and their respective controllers based on network flow data and DNS metadata. Our approach consists of first establishing SMTP traffic models of legitimate vs. spammer SMTP clients and then classifying unknown SMTP clients with respect to their current SMTP traffic distance from these models. An entropy-based traffic component extraction algorithm is then applied to traffic flows of hosts identified as e-mail spammers to determine whether their traffic profiles indicate that they are engaged in other exploits. Spam hosts that are determined to be compromised are processed further to determine their command-and-control using a two-stage approach that involves the calculation of several flow-based metrics, such as distance to common control traffic models, periodicity, and recurrent behavior. DNS passive replication metadata are analyzed to provide additional evidence of abnormal use of DNS to access suspected controllers. We illustrate our approach with examples of detected controllers in large HTTP(S) botnets such as Cutwail, Ozdok and Zeus, using flow data collected from our backbone network.
The Botnet threats, such as server attacks or sending of spam email, have been increasing. A method of us- ing a blacklist of domain names has been proposed to find infected hosts. However, not all infected hosts may be found by this method because a blacklist does not cover all black domain names. In this paper, we present a method for finding unknown black domain names and extend the blacklist by using DNS traffic data and the original blacklist of known black domain names. We use co-occurrence relation of two different domain names to find unknown black domain names and extend a black- list. If a domain name co-occurs with a known black name frequently, we assume that the domain name is also black. We evaluate the proposed method by cross validation, about 91 % of domain names that are in the validation list can be found as top 1 %.
We show that malicious TEX, BIBTEX, and METAPOST files can lead to arbitrary code execution, viral infection, denial of service, and data exfiltration, through the file I/O capabilities exposed by TEX's Turing-complete macro language. This calls into doubt the conventional wisdom view that text-only data formats that do not access the network are likely safe. We build a TEX virus that spreads between documents on the MiKTEX distribution onWindows XP; we demonstrate data exfiltration attacks on web-based LATEX previewer services.
A recent trend in optimizing Internet browsing speed is to optimistically pre-resolve (or prefetch) DNS resolutions. While the practical benefits of doing so are still being debated, this paper attempts to raise awareness that current practices could lead to privacy threats that are ripe for abuse. More specifically, although the adoption of several browser optimizations have already raised security concerns, we examine how prefetching amplifies disclosure attacks to a degree where it is possible to infer the likely search terms issued by clients using a given DNS resolver. The success of these inference attacks relies on the fact that prefetching inserts a significant amount of context into a resolver's cache, allowing an adversary to glean far more detailed insights than when this feature is turned off.
Automated Social Engineering poses a serious information security threat to human communications on the Internet since the attacks can easily scale to a large number of victims. We present a new attack that instruments human conversations for social engineering, or spamming. The detection rate is low, which becomes manifest in link click rates of up to 76.1%. This new attack poses a challenge for detection mechanisms, and user education.


Why didn't all my emails go out?
Any thoughts on why only about 70% of my emails sent out?
Re: Why didn't all my emails go out?
They were all sent, but not yet delivered. How long ago did you send? If it's within the past few hours, you could still be delivering the emails.
I'm noticing a lot of latency with Marketo this morning, so it's likely that they're pending in some type of Marketo limbo. Or, the stats are pending in Marketo limbo.
Okay, I'll check back later then!
Thanks Dory. That's what I thought, but the status for the email says Finished.
This email was scheduled to begin sending about 2 hours ago.
I agree with Dory, a big group like that I would bet that it is still sending some. Marketo will qualify all of the leads and then the flow will still be running in the background. Keep and eye on it and check to see if that number grows or stays the same.
Okay, will do, Chris. The "Finished" Status just confused me.
Woo hoo! Glad to hear it.


The Ski that changed the way the sport was viewed from an elite sport to one that could be enjoyed by all.
Still a world leader, giving unrivalled performance with security.
Used by coaches to pass on skills and techniques the V8 is the most popular ski in the UK.
The new kid on the block, taking the best behaviors of the V8 and giving it a significant performance boost.
This racing Ski allows you to paddle better for longer when others are flattening out.
Downwind the V8 pro comes into its own, picking up on runners with ease, you can link the waves together giving long continuous surfs.
Since its launch in 2016 it has been an instant success.
For those who find the V10 just that bit more than they can enjoy when they find themselves flattening out in those confused wave conditions that we are blessed with in the UK.
This ski is an option to keep the looks and a significant degree of the performance of the V10 without feeling you are on a knife edge when it all goes a bit wrong.
The V10S is a foot shorter and slightly wider so giving the progressive paddler with good skills more control with extra stability, so more forgiving in the bigger conditions.
The low volume V10, designed for paddlers under 75kgs it is slightly shorter than the V10 giving easier handling and control in waves.
Ideal for youth or lighter paddlers with good technical ability and water skills.
The classic racing ski, does what it was designed to do - perform, in all conditions.
Designed to handle the biggest conditions with a skilled person up front this ski is an addictive ride.
With two experienced paddlers on board it eats up the miles and gives sparkling performance.
Remolded for 2017 to cope with the biggest conditions and largest elite racing paddlers this is the Ski is at the top of the tree.
Since its launch it has been winning races around the world, but you need the skills to be able to get this ski to perform or it will give you a fright.
With less volume than the new V12 the ski suits the lighter elite paddler or flatter conditions.


This natural rutilated quartz has a very minimal look to it. The rutiles are very thin and few and far between. From afar, it looks like a clear quartz bracelet. But with closer inspection, it reveals some silver and bronze colored rutiled crystals. Very minimal yet interesting. With the Unearthed Gemstones sterling silver, this bracelet is an intriguing and modern gemstone piece.

Turkish TV series and dramas are becoming a hot favorite of many people worldwide even more than Hollywood movies!
Married Biography / Entertainment / Turkish TV series and dramas are becoming a hot favorite of many people worldwide even more than Hollywood movies!
Posted by MarriedBiography Last Modified May 12, 2019 | In Entertainment , Interesting Facts
Hollywood is the biggest entertainment industry in the world but now Turkish series and dramas are stealing their thunder. People worldwide are getting hooked to them for various reasons.
Turkish dramas and series and their goal impact
Many American movie watchers are now so impressed with Turkish series and dramas that they have now put Hollywood films aside. Many of them are already watching Turkish dramas for many years. The middle-aged lady from Florida, Kristen Korie has been watching these foreign dramas for over 10 years now. Kristen said:
"I left Hollywood around 2007 and started watching international entertainment TV on Netflix. So I watched a few Turkish series on Netflix and I got hooked,"
Source; Anadolu Agency (Turkish series)
She was talking to Anadolu Agency via Skype. She said that the storyline of these Turkish series and the performances of its actors and actresses is mind-blowing and she feels that the various TV dramas captivate the audience well and in a way and extent that Hollywood has been unable to do. Kristen said:
"The main thing is that they connect with people and it's real. They reflect real people and how they feel."
Turkey stands second in the exports of the TV series. Their shows are aired to more than 140 countries and the export figures are over $350 million per year.
The Facebook group of lovers of Turkish series
The lovers of Turkish series are a significant number of people and they have now formed their own Facebook page. It is called, Turkish Dramas Appreciation Group and has, more than 9000 members from around the world. This was, launched in early 2017 and is just one of the many groups on social media which cater to people who love Turkish series and dramas.

Kristen is the manager of this social media gathering and talks about the latest shows from Turkey as well as about their great actors and actresses. The group shares new information related to these shows and also assist each other gain access to the shows with English subtitles. In Kristen's group, the majority of the people are from Pakistan with the US people coming g a close second. Sometimes the group cannot get or wait for online access. They then hold events wherein they bring in a translator as they watch the soaps on Turkish TV channels.
Içerde [Inside], Fatmagül'un Suçu Ne? [What is Fatmagul's Crime?], Kara Sevda [Blind Love], and Kurt Seyit and Sura are the hot favorite of the group. Kenan İmirzalıoğlu and Engin Akyürek are their favorite stars.
More than just watching the Turkish series…..
The people love not only watching the Turkish dramas but they are also keen to learn the culture and traditions of that country. Some are even learning the Turkish language. Kristen said:
"I wish that the Turkish producers, actors and staff would really understand how popular their series are with English speaking people."
Kristen herself wants to retire in Turkey. She said:
"I would like to live there when I retire, at least for maybe a year, so I can visit everywhere,"

People are so fascinated with Turkey and it's culture after seeing the dramas that they have done special tours of that country. Lena Gibson, 34 was part of such a group of 65 foreigners who visited Istanbul in April 2018 to discover it's hidden culture and traditions. A rehabilitation counselor from Chicago, Lena's group had people from the USA, Canada, Australia, South Africa, and the U.K. She said:
"None of these people had met before; we all convened simply for a mutual admiration for Turkey, its culture, history and entertainment industry."
They visited historical places of the capital and also met some Turkish celebrities.

No matter the game, they always accompany Ed Swanson to the court.
When the Sacred Heart University women's basketball coach starts the climb up the back stairs at the Pitt Center, two things are certain -- the butterflies are churning inside his stomach and the hair is perfect.
It's been that way for 19 seasons with the Pioneers, and when the day comes that either one changes, Swanson will probably just pack up his whistle and go home to spend more time with his lovely wife Marion and their two children, Connor and Matthew.
"When the butterflies are gone, it's probably time to give it up," said Swanson, who laughed when asked about his perfect coiffure that has undergone slight modifications over the years, but never with a hair out of place.
They will this season, when Swanson takes the court with the Pioneers for his 20th season. Instead of just being a successful coach at SHU with more than 300 wins, two Northeast Conference championships and two NCAA tournament trips on his resume, Swanson is now a Hall of Fame coach. He received that honor Friday night at the Mohegan Sun when he was inducted into the New England Basketball Hall of Fame, with a class that includes Fairfield coach Joe Frager and Swanson's longtime friend Peter Cinella.
Frager was honored for his work at the Division II level, which included a national title at Southern Connecticut, while Cinella, who now coaches at SHU rival Fairleigh Dickinson, built a successful program at AIC in Springfield, Mass.
"To be honored with some of the great names of New England basketball and across the country is very humbling," Swanson said. "(When SHU hired me) I was just happy to have a job in something I enjoyed doing. The Hall of Fame was the furthest thing from my mind."
One of the names already in the Hall is Swanson's friend and mentor at SHU, men's basketball coach Dave Bike. Swanson credits Bike and SHU women's softball coach Elizabeth Luckie for helping a 23-year-old coach get his first opportunity to run a program 20 years ago, and he also appreciates the support he has received from athletics director Don Cook.
"I hoped to have success when I took over, but we've had a lot of help from the administration, the coaches and the players," Swanson said. "They all believed in what we could accomplish."
The list of accomplishments continues to grow, with Swanson adding a second NEC title and NCAA appearance to it this past winter with the Pioneers. In 19 years, he has compiled a 322-221 record at SHU, including 195-101 at the Division I level, and never had a team finish lower than third in the NEC or miss postseason play.
In conference, Swanson is the all-time leader in wins with a 138-42 record. His team completed just the third perfect run through league play last season with an 18-0 mark, which earned him a third NEC Coach of the Year award.
Along the way, Swanson has added a few pounds, gotten married and started a family, but the desire and drive to win have never wavered.
"I've changed a little bit, but the intensity is still there and I hope that's the feeling my team plays with," he said. "The desire is still there and I look forward to the competition."
The Pioneers will have plenty of the latter this season as they look to repeat in the NEC with a roster that includes conference player of the year Alisa Apo, talented sophomore forward Callan Taylor and junior guard Maggie Cosgrove.
But even with a few of the top league players on his roster this winter, Swanson will still climb the steps at the Pitt Center before each game with the butterflies churning and the hair perfect.
Some things never change, even when you reach the Hall of Fame.
GOOD LUCK CHARMS? -- Perhaps the arrival of a newborn is a key for the SHU women's basketball program when it comes to March Madness.
In 2006, Swanson and his wife Marion were expecting their first child, Connor, and were able to celebrate his arrival between an NEC championship and a trip to the NCAA tournament.
This season, SHU associate SID Bill Peterson and his wife, Kristy, are expecting twins -- the couple's first children -- around the same time. Peterson handles the information for the women's team at the school.
Perhaps two new additions can mean an extended stay in the tournament for the Pioneers this time around.

In this season of prayerful anticipation of the celebration of Our Lord's arrival as an infant child, we come to you with news mixed with joy and sadness. On November 22, we witnessed the final day of killing at Robinson's abortion facility. While we REJOICE that the killing has ended forever at 1929 Record Crossing, and that former killing facility will be leveled to the ground in the coming days, it is with great sadness that we have learned that abortionist Lamar Robinson has relocated, and the closed abortion facility at 8363 Meadow Rd near Greenville Ave has re-opened. "Robinson @ Northpark" is scheduling appointments beginning tomorrow, December 4, 2014.
On December 30, a Mass for an End to Abortion will be celebrated by Fr. Paul Weinberger at 10 a.m. at St. Monica Catholic Church, followed by a Closing Memorial Service outside the former Robinson's abortion facility at 1929 Record Crossing, with the buses then taking pray-ers over to "Robinson @ Northpark" to wage immediate spiritual warfare through a Rosary Procession against the resumed killing and for conversion of hearts. We hope many can join us on this Tuesday during the holidays. This will also give us an opportunity for communal prayer before the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals hears arguments on the merits of the ambulatory surgical center requirement of HB 2 in New Orleans the following week.
In addition to the December 30 services, please mark your calendars for:
Dec. 6: The YFL Not So Underground Railroad event, St. Joseph, Richardson
Dec. 8-9: National Night of Prayer for Life (list of participating parishes available here)
Dec. 10: Youth For Life Leadership Council Meeting, CPLC office
Dec. 28: Commemoration of the Holy Innocents, St. Francis Anglican Church
And as we look forward to the new year, we once again need your assistance in promoting the 2015 Roe Memorial Events with Bishop Farrell on January 17, 2015. This year's theme is "On the Road to Victory" in recognition of the many incredible advancements in the effort to build a Culture of Life in North Texas, including implementations of omnibus pro-life law HB 2 and the decrease in number of abortions statewide and nationwide.
The 2015 Roe Memorial Mass will be at 1:00 p.m. at the convention center arena in Dallas with capacity for 9,000 people! This will be our second year at the Dallas Convention Center where everyone will be able to experience the blessings of the Mass celebrated by Bishop Kevin J. Farrell and Bishop Michael Olson together in one room. Plus, there will be a Youth Concert preceding the Mass, beginning at 12:15 p.m., featuring World Youth Day musician Curtis Stephan. The North Texas March for Life and Rally will directly follow Mass. A complete schedule of events is available here.
We are in the process of distributing Roe Memorial posters and yard signs to each parish, and Bishop Farrell's letter of invitation will be coming soon. Please ensure that your parish includes the bulletin announcement available here, shares Bishop Farrell's letter, and displays the yard signs and posters (flyer version available here in English and here in Spanish) in the weeks preceding January 17. Please check out our web site, prolifedallas.org/roe, for event details and updates throughout this month.
As we busy ourselves with preparations this month for Christmas and the new year, it is sometimes difficult to stay focused on what we are really preparing for -- the celebration of the coming of Our Lord, and readiness for His second coming. Also celebrated in December is the Feast of the Holy Family. The Catholic Church honors Jesus of Nazareth, his mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary, and his foster father, St. Joseph as a family.

A Dubois man had to be rescued from his sports utility vehicle after driving it into high water along a rural Dubois County roadway over the weekend.
The Dubois County Sheriff's Department says just before 7 am Saturday, 54-year old Richard Hawes of Dubois was traveling west along County Road 300 North about 1500 feet west of County Road 175 East in Marion Township when deputies say he disregarded a high water, do not enter sign and proceeded to drive his SUV into high water over 300 West.
Police say Hawes vehicle went off the south side of the roadway and into a deep ditch. They say Hawes exited his SUV and was standing in the cold water until units arrived.
A deputy was able to navigate to where Hawes was stranded, while a first responder with the Dubois Volunteer Fire Department walked out to Hawes and was able to pull him over the hood of his vehicle and assist him into a deputy's truck.
He was then taken to an awaiting ambulance where he was treated then taken to Memorial Hospital in Jasper for exposure to the cold temperatures.
Hawes' SUV was towed from the scene later in the afternoon after the water had receded from the roadway.
He was cited for disregarding a traffic control device.
The Dubois County Sheriff's Department was assisted at the scene by Indiana Conservation Officers, Dubois First Responders, and Memorial Hospital Emergency Medical Services.

Office space provider Bevmax Office Centers has signed a 10-year, 15,736-square-foot lease at Jack Resnick & Sons' 485 Madison Avenue.
The Midtown location will replace Bevmax's current facility at 75 Rockefeller Plaza. Scott Rechler's RXR Realty signed a 99-year triple-net lease at 75 Rockefeller last year and is planning a major repositioning of the property.
Bevmax operates office facilities throughout New York City, with locations at 880 Third Avenue, 40 Worth Street, 1 Liberty Plaza and 250 West 57th Street. The company caters to a wide variety of clients, from Fortune 100 companies to startups. Aerospace and defense giant Lockheed Martin is one of the company's largest clients.
The tenant viewed a number of potential alternative locations but settled on 485 Madison Avenue because of Jack Resnick & Sons' reputation.
"When you enter into a 10-year lease, it's a very long-term relationship and when you have someone on the other end that is honorable and honest, you're in good shape," Mr. Feld noted.
Mr. Feld expects the 485 Madison Avenue location to be operational by August 1 and Bevmax Office Centers is already in advanced negotiations to lease another floor in the building.
Jack Resnick & Sons is represented in-house at 485 Madison Avenue by Dennis Brady and Fran Delgorio. Michael Cohen and Phil Amarante of Colliers International represented the tenant. The brokers did not immediately return requests seeking comment.

How many tanks does it take? That's the key question.
Throughout this blog, you may hear me reference a "Gus Scale." Allow me to explain.
"Gus" is what I have dubbed the small oxygen tank I carry around with me. He is about 18 inches tall and about 5 inches in diameter. I can tell you how long that tank will last on just about every setting and how far I can get with it. When you have a dyslexic immune system that confuses your lungs with germs, you have to know these things.
So whether I'm tackling a nature trail or cruising a scenic highway, I'm monitoring my oxygen and heart rate levels to make sure I'm staying within safe levels. If I can maintain my oxygen with little – or preferably no – help from Gus, the activity gets a lower tank rating, because I used less oxygen. But if if I'm running Gus hard and putting him up wet, you can bet that activity is getting a high ranking, and I'm taking a nap when I'm finished.
