\section{Super Liouville Fieldoperators}

Up to now we have written down only classical relations. Going over
to operators defined in the Fock space of the modes of the free superfield
$F_{+} +F_{-} =F$ one tries to find well defined operators of the type

\begin{equation}
(e^{-L})^{op}=:e^{-F}:\big[1-\mu ^2A_{+} A_{-} -i\mu \alpha _{+} \alpha _{-} \big]^{op}
\label{e18}
\end{equation}
and generally
\begin{equation}
(e^{\nu L})^{op}=:e^{\nu F}:\big[(1-\mu ^2A_{+} A_{-} -i\mu \alpha _{+} \alpha _{-} )^{-\nu }
\big]^{op}
\label{e19}
\end{equation}
The normal product refers to the free theory ground state.

Similiar to the purely bosonic case we now establish as a construction
principle that the vertex operators (\ref{e19}) are superconformal primaries.
That means, that the corresponding weights
\begin{equation}
\Delta _{+} (\nu )=\Delta _{-} (\nu )=\frac{\nu }{2}(1-\nu \frac{\gamma ^2}{4\pi})
\label{e20}
\end{equation}
derive from the free theory vertex operator $:e^{\nu F}:$ . The free field
theory for $F$ couples to a background charge, leading to an "improvement"
term in the energy-momentum supercurrent and resulting in the term linear in
$\nu $ in
eq. (\ref{e20}) \cite{OTT}. All the operators in brackets $[...]$ in
(\ref{e18},\ref{e19}) must be $(\Delta _{+} =\Delta _{-} =0)$-operators. It is the
construction of these "screening operators" in terms of the free field $F$ we
are focusing on in the rest of this talk.

Let us first express the classical superfields $A_{+} (Z_{+}) ,\alpha _{+} (Z_{+}) $ in
terms of $F_{+} (Z_{+}) $ .
(The corresponding operators in the "$-$" -sector
can be treated in completely the same way.
We are using the well known trick \cite{VEN} of using independent
sets of zero modes $(Q_{+} ,P_{+})$ and $(Q_{-} ,P_{-} )$
for the "$+$" and the "$-$" sector after replacing $Q_{\pm} $ by $2Q_{\pm} $.)

Then at the level of classical fields eq.(\ref{e16}) leads to
\begin{equation}
\alpha _{+} =(D_{+})^{-1} (e^{F_{+} })=(\partial _{+})^{-1} \big[D_{+} e^{F_{+} }\big]
\label{e21}
\end{equation}
We rewrite this in terms of components of $F_{+} $ (\ref{e17}) and for
$A_{+} ,\alpha _{+} $:
\begin{eqnarray}
A_{+} &=&A_{+}^b (\xi_{+}) +\theta _{+} A_{+}^f (\xi_{+})    \nonumber \\
\alpha _{+} &=&\alpha_{+}^f (\xi_{+}) +\theta _{+} \alpha_{+}^b (\xi_{+}) .
\label{e22}
\end{eqnarray}
(Here upper indices $b,f$ stand for Grassman even and odd fields,
respectively). We obtain
\begin{eqnarray}
\alpha_{+}^b (\xi_{+}) &=& e^{\psi _{+} (\xi_{+}) }
\label{e23} \\
\alpha_{+}^f (\xi_{+}) &=&(\partial _{+})^{-1} \big[e^{\psi _{+} }\chi _{+} \big] (\xi_{+})
\label{e24}
\end{eqnarray}
with
\begin{equation}
(\partial _{+})^{-1} =const + \int_0^{\xi _{+} }d\xi _{+} ^{\prime }
\label{e25}
\end{equation}
and the integration constant has to match the periodicity requirements
both of the integrand and of the integral.

To obtain the bosonic superfield $A_{+} (Z_{+}) $ we have to integrate the
superanalyticity constraints (\ref{e14}). This results in
\begin{eqnarray}
A_{+}^f (\xi_{+}) &=&\alpha_{+}^f (\xi_{+}) \alpha_{+}^b (\xi_{+})
\label{e26} \\
A_{+}^b (\xi_{+}) &=&(\partial _{+})^{-1} \big[(\alpha_{+}^b (\xi_{+}) )^2+(\partial _{+} \alpha_{+}^f (\xi_{+}) ) \alpha_{+}^f (\xi_{+}) \big]
\label{e27}
\end{eqnarray}
In order to find the operator $(\alpha _{+} (\xi_{+}) )^{op}$
transforming as a ($\Delta _{+} =0 $)-superfield
the components $\alpha_{+}^f ,\alpha_{+}^b $ have to be conformal fields with
weights $\Delta _{+} =0$ and $\Delta _{+} =1/2$, respectively. We introduce  therefore a
dressing factor $\eta $ so that (see eqs.(\ref{e1},\ref{e20})
\begin{eqnarray}
(\alpha_{+}^b (\xi_{+}) )^{op}&=&:e^{\eta \psi _{+} (\xi_{+}) }: \\
\label{e28}
\Delta (\eta )=\frac{1}{2} &=&\frac{\eta }{2}(1-\eta \frac{\gamma ^2}{4\pi})~~~
\big(\gamma ^2=\frac{8\pi}{9-d}\big).
\label{e29}
\end{eqnarray}
The resulting solutions for $\eta $ are the conventional ones \cite{Bab,DK2}
for $N=1$
worldsheet supersymmetry :
\begin{equation}
\eta _{\pm} =\frac{1}{4}\big(9-d\pm \sqrt{(9-d)(1-d)}\big)
\label{e30}
\end{equation}
The operator expressions for
\begin{eqnarray}
(\alpha_{+}^f )^{op}&=&(\partial _{+})^{-1} \big[(\chi _{+} )^{op} (\alpha_{+}^b )^{op}\big] \\
\label{e31}
(A_{+}^f )^{op}&=&(\alpha_{+}^f )^{op} (\alpha_{+}^b )^{op}
\label{e32}
\end{eqnarray}
automatically come up with the correct conformal weights. Short
distance singularities can be rendered integrable (under $(\partial _{+})^{-1} $) by
suitable analytic continuation in
\begin{equation}
g=\hbar \eta ^2 \equiv \frac{\gamma ^2 \eta ^2}{4\pi}=\eta -1
\label{e33}
\end{equation}
The only more serious problem is posed by the construction of $A_{+}^b (\xi_{+}) $
(27) as conformal primary field with $\Delta _{+} =0$ due to the appearance of
$(\alpha_{+}^b (\xi_{+}) )^2$
in the integrand. At operator level this should be translated into
an expression being both well defined and of weight $\Delta _{+} =1$. Both
$[(\alpha_{+}^b (\xi_{+}) )^{op}]^2$
(see (\ref{e28})) and $:e^{2\eta \psi _{+} (\xi_{+}) }:$
(see (\ref{e29})) are not
acceptable. The brute force way of introducing another "dressing parameter"
$\eta ^{\prime}$ with weight $\Delta (2\eta ^{\prime})=1$ for the tentative
operator
$:e^{2\eta ^{\prime}\psi _{+} (\xi_{+})}:$  would destroy
supersymmetry and shift the region of direct applicability from $d\le 1$
($\eta $ real) to $d\le -7$ ($\eta ^{\prime }$ real).

A way out is opened up by the fact, that the
leading short distance singularities in the point-splitted version of the
complete integrand of eq.(\ref{e27}) cancel, the remaining short-distance
singularities can be made integrable by analytic continuation in
$g\propto \eta ^2 $ (i.e. in d ) as usual.
As the argument in the component language is too lengthy here,
we give a shorter
but more implicit version in the conformal superfield formalism \cite{Fried}.

Leaving aside the $\pm $ -indices, the problem is to construct a well defined
$\Delta =1/2$ fermionic superfield operator (i.e. $\Delta =1/2$ for the lowest
(fermionic)
and $\Delta =1$ for the bosonic component) for the r.h.s. of
\begin{equation}
(DA(Z) )^{op}=(\alpha (Z) )^{op}(D\alpha (Z))^{op}
{}~~~~~( Z\equiv (z,\theta ),~~D\equiv \partial _{\theta }+\theta \partial _z )
\label{e34}
\end{equation}
on the basis of the bosonic
superfield $(\Delta =1/2)$ - operator
\begin{equation} (D\alpha (Z) )^{op}=:e^{\eta F(Z)}:
\label{e35}
\end{equation}
and the fermionic $(\Delta =0)$ - "screening"-operator
\begin{equation} (\alpha (Z) )^{op}=D^{-1}:e^{\eta F}: =(\partial _{z})^{-1} \big[D :e^{\eta F}: \big](Z)
\label{e36}
\end{equation}
For the time being
we use coordinates on the complex plane
($z=e^{\xi },~~\tau \rightarrow -i\tau $).
Formally, the product of (\ref{e35}) and (\ref{e36}) fits the requirements
for a ($\Delta =1/2$) - superfield but a closer look immediately reveals the
appearance of the square of $(\alpha_{+}^b )^{op}$ (\ref{e28}) being an undefined
operator.  Let us write the inverse of the supercovariant derivative as an
integral operator in superspace:  (The integration constant is irrelevant here)
\begin{equation} D^{-1}=\int^z dz^{\prime} \int d\theta^{\prime} (1+\theta^{\prime} \theta \partial _{z^{\prime} })\equiv
\int^{(Z)}dZ^{\prime} \label{e37}
\end{equation}
Then we can write formally for the product of (\ref{e35}) and (\ref{e36})
\begin{equation} \int^{(Z)}dZ^{\prime} :e^{\eta F(Z^{\prime})}: :e^{\eta F(Z)}:
\label{e38}
\end{equation}
With the propagator
(adapted to the field normalizations used here, continuation
from the euclidean case with radial time ordering is understood)
\begin{equation} G(Z,Z^{\prime} )=
-\frac{\gamma ^2}{4\pi} ln(Z-Z^{\prime} )=
-\frac{\gamma ^2}{4\pi}\big[ln(z-z^{\prime} )-\frac{\theta \theta^{\prime} }{z-z^{\prime} }\big] \label{e39}
\end{equation}
we obtain
\begin{equation} :e^{\eta F(Z^{\prime})}: :e^{\eta F(Z)}: =(Z-Z^{\prime} )^{-g}:e^{\eta (F(Z)+F(Z^{\prime}))}: ~~~~
(g\equiv \frac{(\gamma \eta )^2}{4\pi}) \label{e40}
\end{equation}
The bilocal normal product at the r. h. s. can be super-Taylor-
expanded around $Z=Z^{\prime} $ using
\begin{equation}
H(Z) =\exp \{ (Z^{\prime} -Z)\partial _y +(\theta^{\prime} -\theta )D_y\} H(Y)_{\vert Y=Z}
\label{e41}
\end{equation}
Plugging all this into (\ref{e38}), we see that
all the terms with powers ($n\geq 0$, integer) of the
superdistance $(Z-Z^{\prime} )^{n-g}$ integrate to zero, while the surviving
terms are of the form
$$
\int ^zdz^{\prime} (z-z^{\prime} )^{n-g} \times (regular operator)
$$
and can be treated by the usual continuation in g. The short
distance factor corresponds to the well known power of some sinus-
function of the difference in the "cylindrical" $\sigma $-variables (\ref{e2})
\cite{Curt,OW,Nic} due to the map
$z=exp(\xi )\propto exp(\frac{i\sigma}{2})$.

The explicit operator construction of the bosonic and fermionic Liouville
operators in terms of their free field counterparts can now go ahead
parallel to the bosonic construction. What makes things quantitatively
even more complex, is the consideration of different periodicity
conditions for the Neven-Schwarz and Ramond sectors in both chiral
sectors of the free theory, respectively.
At the present (low) stage of
applicability even of the much simpler bosonic Liouville operator formalism a
motivation for working out all the details in the supersymmetric case, too, is
not obvious.

Meteorologist, PhD
Wednesday, December 5, 2018, 4:42 PM -	It's no surprise that rising global temperatures are causing ice to melt on many of Earth's glaciers, but scientists have recently come to the conclusion that Alaska, and especially some of the state's southern mountain ranges, is one of the most affected areas in the world.
A team of scientists led by Dominic Winski, a glaciologist at Dartmouth College, along with the collaboration of other researchers from the Universities of Maine and New Hampshire, have drilled ices cores from the Mt. Hunter area in Alaska's Denali National Park to find that melting is occurring faster than at any time in the past 400 years, mainly due to rising summer temperatures. The warming in this about 1.2 to 2°C warmer than the summers of the 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries.
(WINTER IS HERE: How will El Niño shape Canada's upcoming winter? Find out with The Weather Network's 2019 Winter Forecast | FORECAST & MAPS HERE)
By drilling the ice in Mt. Hunter´s summit plateau at around 13,000 feet above sea level, researchers where able to reconstruct climate events going back to the 17th century. Ice which showed darker bands with no air bubbles was indicative of a time period when snow on the glacier had melted before re-freezing. The more melt events they observed in a given year, the warmer the summer.

On Mt. Hunter, the warmer environment has melted 60 times more snow than prior to the start of the industrial revolution around 150 years ago.
Most of the warming has occurred during the last century, and there is a strong correlation with higher temperatures in the tropical Pacific ocean. According to the authors these warming tropical ocean temperatures are behind the unprecedented melting occurring in several Alaskan glacier fields.
Preliminary conclusions from the study indicate that higher tropical Pacific temperatures amplify warming at higher elevations in the Arctic by changing circulation patterns. Warmer tropics correlate well with higher atmospheric pressures and fair, sunny weather across much of southern Alaska, which means more glacial melting.
Recent sea surface temperature anomaly (SST) trends have also seen warmer water in the north Pacific ocean, a phenomenon known as ¨The Blob¨. The impact of these ¨new¨ warm ocean episodes on glacial ice melt over Alaska are still under investigation but they will soon reveal how warming oceans are impacting ice melt around the earth.

If you have ever wondered about an occupation in which the instincts of the hunter are combined with those of the expert tracker, then you might be interested in a whole new line of work: International shipping handler. If you've ever thought it might be fun to track the progress of a parcel or package from one side of the world to another, then this might be just the type of career that plays to your best strengths. On the other hand, if you are a business owner, international shipping can be the source of a whole other set of worries.
A whole new sense of appreciation for global logistics has emerged in the shipping business, thanks largely to the advent of the Internet. Before the World Wide Web, there was plenty of international thinking in the business, as well as in many other industries. However, since the Internet first appeared, there has a been a massive upsurge in shipping. This major development can be traced to the appearance of Internet businesses, and it's a trend that resulted in major profits for shipping companies.
However, along with massive profits comes a major responsibility. All of a sudden, thanks to the explosion of Internet technology, the shipping industry has been doing more small parcel business than ever. Alongside "civilian" shipping, there has also been a surge in business to business shipping. As a result, major international shipping companies have been overloaded with work, leading to the creation of newer companies that have arisen to take up the slack. This competition has been a complex development for businesses, but a boon to the consumer.
The above-mentioned competition has been an excellent development for several reasons. The most obvious benefit for consumers is the reduction in prices that the major upsurge of competition has forced international shipping companies to make. Another major boon to consumers is the increased activity. Shipping companies, large and small, have been forced to develop fast, reliable routes to destinations that, not so long ago, were not even part of the usual world trade zone map. Indeed, the industry has helped create several new cities all across the world.
However, even though the shipping industry has bestowed several important benefits to its customers, you still need to be absolutely sure that the money you are giving the company is being spent where it needs to be. You can use independent watchdogs and other sources on the Internet to make certain that the company you deal with is spending its money wisely in order to guarantee you the best possible service. As A loyal customer, you always have the right to be kept in the loop.

Ahead of this afternoon's Holyrood debate on City Region Deals across Scotland, the SNP has called on the UK Government to match the SNP Government's funding commitment for these investments.
While the SNP Government is injecting over £1.3 billion into the four City Region Deals in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Inverness - the UK is delivering over £300 million less.
When it comes to the Ayrshire Growth Deal, the UK Government has so far refused to make any concrete commitments, in stark contrast with the SNP Government which has consistently pledged support.
The figures underline the need for the UK Tory Government to match the SNP's ambition for Scotland's economy, with the SNP calling upon the UK Government to stump up the difference when it comes to City Region and Growth Deals.
"The SNP Government has been instrumental in finally getting City Region deals delivered across Scotland; leading the way in investing over £1.3 billion in the deals that have been signed so far. However, when you tally up the overall amount the UK Government is investing in Scotland it is clear Scotland is being sold short by over £300 million.
"And as we look ahead to other City Region and Growth Deals across Scotland, including in Ayrshire, the UK Government must commit to matching the Scottish Government's funding. They can't continue to sell our communities short.
"The Tories must answer for the fate of our missing millions and ensure that it isn't just cities that benefit from this investment, but towns and rural areas too. These deals are designed to lift regions up and the UK Government's refusal to invest in parts of Scotland which are already more deprived, defeats the purpose.

Elon Musk set to unveil Mars spacecraft later this year
Space X and Tesla CEO Elon Musk said he expects to unveil plans for the spacecraft that would send humans to Mars within a decade.
Speaking at an event in Hong Kong, Musk said he was "hoping to describe the architecture" of the spacecraft at the International Astronautical Conference in Mexico in late September.
"That will be quite exciting," Musk said. "In terms of the first flight to Mars, we are hoping to do that around 2025."
Musk said space travel to Mars is part of a larger vision of one day establishing a city on the Red Planet – partly to ensure the survival of the human race but also "because it would be an incredible adventure, the greatest adventure ever. It would be exciting and inspiring. There need to be things that excite and inspire people."
"It's really a fundamental decision we need to make as a civilization. What kind of future do we want? Do we want one where we are forever confined to one planet until some eventual extinction event however far into the future tha…
James Webb: Hubble successor maintains course
The successor to the Hubble Space Telescope is reaching some key milestones in its preparation for launch in 2018.
Engineers are about to complete the assembly of the primary mirror surface on the James Webb Space Telescope.
They are also winding up the final deep-chill calibration tests on the observatory's four instruments.
The US space agency-led project is now on track to make rapid progress in the coming months.
The major components of JWST, which have been years in the design and fabrication phase, will at last be integrated into their flight configuration.
With margin still in the programme to cope with any unexpected problems, everything currently remains on course for an October 2018 lift-off atop a European Ariane rocket.
"We keep our fingers crossed, but things have been going tremendously well," said Nasa's JWST deputy project manager John Durning.
"We have eight months of reserve; we've consumed about a month with various activities," he to…
NASA counting on humanoid robots for deep space exploration
As humanity moves outward into space, it will need to be prepared for risky and extremely hazardous environments such as those crewed missions to Mars and asteroids will encounter. Having fully-operational robotic help ready to assist in dangerous tasks could be critical during long-duration missions beyond Earth. NASA is seriously considering this matter and it could usher in an age of new humanoid robots.
"NASA is counting on robots to setup and care for deep space exploration facilities and equipment pre-deployed ahead of astronauts. Robots are also excellent precursors for conducting science missions ahead of human exploration," Sasha Congiu Ellis of NASA's Langley Research Center, told Astrowatch.net.
That's why the agency is developing a six-foot tall humanoid robot called 'R5,' which was previously known as 'Valkyrie.' The mechanoid weighs in at about 290 lbs. (292 kg). It was initially designed for use during disaster-relief missions. In November of 2015, NASA provided two R5…
INTERSTELLAR – A GLIMPSE INTO THE FUTURE OF SPACE TRAVEL?
Interstellar is a movie that you must watch at least once in your lifetime. When the genius of Christopher Nolan meets the creative mind of Hans Zimmer, one thing of which we can be assured of is a timeless masterpiece. We saw that happen in The Batman Trilogy and also in the fascinating-yet-confusing movie Inception. And now, in their most recent work Interstellar, we see them working together once again, and blowing our minds away... once again.
For science purists, the movie had the well known theoretical physicist Kip Thorne working as executive producer and scientific consultant. Famous astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson also vouched for the science behind the movie, so rest assured, it is as scientifically accurate as a movie can be.
A plot that works on every level The movie is set in the distant future, where the planet Earth is slowly becoming uninhabitable for humans. In order to survive a group are asked to go on a journey through space in order to find another home for the…
NASA's Kepler Comes Roaring Back with 100 New Exoplanet Finds
NASA's Kepler spacecraft has bounced back nicely from the malfunction that ended its original exoplanet hunt more than two years ago.
Kepler has now discovered more than 100 confirmed alien planets during its second-chance K2 mission, researchers announced today (Jan. 5) here at the 227th Meeting of the American Astronomical Society (AAS).
The $600 million Kepler mission launched in March 2009, tasked with determining how commonly Earth-like planets occur throughout the Milky Way galaxy. Kepler has been incredibly successful, finding more than 1,000 alien worlds to date, more than half of all exoplanets ever discovered.
The spacecraft finds planets by the "transit method," noting the tiny brightness dips caused when a planet crosses its host star's face from Kepler's perspective. This technique requires extremely precise pointing, an ability Kepler lost in May 2013 when the second of the observatory's four orientation-maintaining reaction wheels failed.
U.S. sets stage for planetary "gold fever"
The United States could start a "gold rush" with a new space exploration law covering bodies orbiting in the Solar System's asteroid belt.
Just as lawmakers in Washington provided a legal framework for the California Gold Rush in the mid-1800s, Congress and the administration have given the green light to encourage space mining.
On Nov. 25, President Barack Obama signed the U.S. Commercial Space Launch Competitiveness Act to promote private exploration of space, something a few companies, like SpaceX and Orbital ATK, have already tackled with missions to re-supply the International Space Station and plans to go beyond Earth's orbit.
The law has a final section authorizing the appropriation of asteroids and other "space resources" by private individuals and companies if they develop the technology to reach and exploit the bodies, which are rich in minerals, such as platinum, gold and iron, and water.
The law's last section requires that the government no…

James P. Hughes was born on December 18, 1874 in Vigo County, Indiana. His family subsequently moved to Putnam County, which would be his home for the rest of his life. He attended the Putnam County public schools, and then he earned his undergraduate degree from DePauw in 1898. He then attended the Indiana University law school, receiving his degree in 1900. He was admitted to the bar and began his legal practice that same year. In 1902 he was appointed deputy prosecuting attorney for the Clay-Putnam Circuit Courts, and in 1904 he was promoted to prosecuting attorney. In 1911 Governor Thomas Marshall appointed Hughes to the Putnam County Circuit Court. He was elected four times to this position, serving on the bench for more than 20 years.
In 1933, Justice Hughes joined the Indiana Supreme Court, where he would serve for one term. His opinions were filled with history and literature, highlighting his unique knowledge of both topics. In 1937, his opinion in Carroll Perfumers v. State received national attention because of his references to the Bible (Exodus 30:25), English laws during Henry VIII, and act 1, scene 5 from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.
Justice Hughes wanted to serve another term on the Court, but a split in the Democratic Party led him to decline to be placed in nomination. After leaving the Court, Hughes served in the Indiana Attorney General's office until 1941, whereupon he returned to private practice in Greencastle. In 1945 President Harry Truman appointed Hughes to the Federal Railroad Labor Panel, mediating labor and wage disputes with railroads across the country.
Justice Hughes eventually retired from his law practice and was content to spend his time farming his Putnam County farm. He died there on August 30, 1961 and was buried in the Forest Hills Cemetery in Greencastle, Indiana.

The NY Senate and Assembly Health Committees will hold a public hearing and press conference in Rochester on October 10 on the New York Health Act.
Millions of New Yorkers with insurance go without needed health care or face serious financial obstacles, debt and bankruptcy to get it.
The New York Health Act, A.5248/S.3577, would establish universal, comprehensive single-payer health coverage, including long-term care, for all New Yorkers. The program would be publicly funded, including existing federal support for Medicaid and Medicare. New Yorkers would no longer have to pay premiums, deductibles, co-pays, out-of-network charges, or have limited provider networks.
The Rochester hearing is the second in a series of statewide hearings, with other hearings to be scheduled in New York City and the Hudson Valley. The hearings will provide an opportunity for comments and suggestions from stakeholders around the state on the New York Health Act. Video and a transcript of the first hearing, held in Albany on May 28, can be found here.
More information, including a form if you wish to be invited to testify, can be found here.

Testimony Before NYC Human Resources Administration: Expand & Strengthen Tenants' Right to Counsel
Nov 16, '18 4:22 PM
Testifying on behalf of tenants' right to counsel before the NYC Human Resources Agency, November 15, 2018
Testimony by Assembly Member Richard N. Gottfried Before the NYC Human Resources Administration's Office of Civil Justice
Public Hearing on the Universal Access to Legal Services Program for Tenants Facing Eviction
My name is Richard N. Gottfried. I represent the 75th Assembly District in Manhattan, which includes the neighborhoods of Chelsea, Hell's Kitchen, Midtown, and part of the Upper West Side and Murray Hill. Thank you for this opportunity to testify about the Right to Counsel program.
Right to Counsel (RTC) or Universal Access to Legal Counsel (UATC) in Housing Court became a New York City law in 2017. With this law, some, but not all, low-income tenants have the right to have a lawyer provided to them if they are sued in Housing Court by their landlord. Before Right to Counsel was enacted, landlords tried to evict over 230,000 tenants a year. Most of those tenants were low-income people, and predominantly people of color and immigrants.
The program has quickly made a real difference in the lives of many people. Since the implementation of Right to Counsel, evictions are down 24 percent from 2014; filings are down 10% from 2014; and shelter entries from evictions are down. The program contributes to preserving affordable housing and stable communities by keeping people out of court and out of homeless shelters. But there are too many people who cannot access the program because of the income level requirement. The next step is to expand and strengthen the successful Right to Counsel program.
City Council Members Mark Levine, Vanessa Gibson and Diana Ayala have introduced legislation, Intro 1104-2018, to increase the income threshold of 200% of the federal poverty level to 400% and to expand the types of cases covered by RTC to include administrative hearings such as those in HPD, and the NYS HCR (Homes and Community Renewal) agency, as well as for cases that are appealed and a portion that land in state Supreme Court. These would be important steps ahead.
More must be done to increase outreach and tenant awareness. The City needs to finance efforts by various community organizations to educate tenants about when they are entitled to legal representation.
It continues to be a challenge to get the word out to tenants that the right to counsel in Housing Court exists and how to find out if they are eligible and where to go. As part of the RTC implementation, New York City's Tenant Support Unit knocks on doors to advise tenants at risk of eviction that they are entitled to a lawyer. More tenant outreach and education is needed and can best be provided by neighborhood-based groups with a history of tenant organizing, as well as the Tenant Support Unit. Increased funding to neighborhood-based groups already doing education and outreach would contribute to the effectiveness of the right to counsel program.
Several public awareness efforts, if funded by the City, would help tenants learn of the new right. Efforts such as subway ads, tele-town halls, mass mailings, email and social media, and a hotline are all possible ways to increase access to the program
After only a year, Right to Counsel has proven its effectiveness. It should be expanded and strengthened.
New York Daily News: New York State Bill to Boost Prisoner Health Care to be Introduced Following Reports of Treatment That Led to 50 Deaths
Nov 16, '18 12:23 PM
By Reuven Blau, November 12
Assembly Member Richard Gottfried plans to create legislation to give the state Department of Health more power over prisoner medical treatment. (Anthony DelMundo/New York Daily News)
Prisoner health care must be significantly improved and staffing levels should be regularly monitored, a state lawmaker said Monday following reports of horrific medical abuses that led to 50 deaths over the past five years.
State Assemblyman Richard Gottfried (D-Manhattan) will introduce legislation to give the state Department of Health more oversight power over prisoner medical treatment. Currently, medical treatment is largely handled internally by the Department of Corrections and Community Supervision.
"People in prison and jail, sort of by definition, are not looked at kindly by most New Yorkers," Gottfried said. "We also have to realize they are human beings. They are in our custody, and we have a constitutional obligation to protect their health, whether they have done wrong or not."
The Daily News on Monday reported that a state medical review board concluded 50 prisoner deaths may have been prevented had they gotten better health care.
Commission of Correction review panels repeatedly criticized prison medical staff for failing to complete basic checkups and mental health screenings. In multiple cases, doctors and nurses totally discounted prisoner complaints until they were too serious, according to the death probes.
Gottfried's proposed legislation will also require state officials to study health care staffing in prisons and issue a report on the issue twice each year.
The number of health care practitioners employed by the department shrank by 3%, according to DOCCS. Some doctors are in charge of 500 or more prisoners.
"I think today it is all too easy to ignore inadequate staffing in prisons and jails particularly relating to health care," Gottfried said. "If DOCCS and the Health Department are required to study and report on it that gets us a lot closer to dealing responsibility with it."
The legislation was introduced last year but failed to pass the Assembly after it got stuck in the Codes Committee. The bill would also have likely gotten voted down in the GOP-controlled State Senate.
Gottfried believes the Democratic takeover of the Senate will lead to its passing.
In 2009, Gottfried and former State Sen. Thomas Duane passed a similar measure requiring the Department of Health to "conduct annual reviews of HIV and Hepatitis C care" in correctional facilities. That bill, which was signed by former Gov. David Paterson, has been hailed as a success by prison advocates.
WNYT-TV: Brain Injury Patients Rally to Keep Vital Care
Mar 24, '16 2:00 PM
See the video here: WNYT News Channel 13
ALBANY – For the first time in its history, the Brain Injury Association of New York rallied at the State Capitol.
The gathering on Wednesday was a final push to convince lawmakers about the need to fund the specialized treatment this group argues, is so vital to their independence and recovery.
The fact that Laura Casellini is here to celebrate her 24th birthday is a milestone that wasn't assured.
Five years ago the car she was riding in was slammed into by a drunk driver.
Still recovering from a traumatic brain injury, the East Greenbush woman credits the intensive and coordinated services she receives for her recovery.
"I have had a very good recovery," she noted.
When asked if it would have been as good without the care, she replied, "It would not have been as good. I would have been stuck in a nursing home."
In New York, services for brain injury patients like Casellini are provided through special waivers. It's a system of payment and care the governor's office wants to do away with, transitioning this population to managed care.
"140,000 New Yorkers and of them, 3,000 of them are on traumatic brain injury, TBI waiver," explained Eileen Reardon, the executive director of the Brain Injury Association of New York State.
Fear about losing services and careful coordination of those services brought the Brain Injury Association of New York State, BIANYS, to the state Capitol for its first ever "Advocacy Day."
They want to be sure their voices are heard in advance of the April 1 deadline for the state Health Department to release its transition plan.
They're counting on support from leaders in the state Senate and Assembly.
"However the program is structured, whether it stays outside managed care or moves into it, that the unique, important elements of the TBI waiver are guaranteed in law and protected against tampering," noted Democratic Assem. Richard Gottfried the Health Committee Chair.
Money to continue the services has been recommended by both the Assembly and Senate Health Committees.
However, anything can happen between now and when the governor presents his budget.
It's still to be seen what the transition plan looks like when it's released April 1.
NewsChannel 13's Benita Zahn will keep you posted.
Calligraphy: A New Book and a Public Exhibition
Oct 29, '15 5:17 PM
In my off hours, I have for many years studied and practiced my hand at Chinese calligraphy. I am delighted that my work is included both in a magnificent new book, 100 New York Calligraphers, and in the annual Society of Scribes public exhibition at the National Arts Club on Gramercy Park in lower Manhattan.
For many years I have been taking a class in Chinese calligraphy at the China Institute on Saturday mornings. One of my classmates, Cynthia Maris Dantzic, Professor of Visual Arts at Long Island University in Brooklyn, has produced a book, 100 New York Calligraphers, and asked me to contribute some of my work to the volume. I chose four of my pieces: "Persistence;" "The future is not a gift, it is an achievement" (a quote from the late U.S. Senator from New York, Robert F. Kennedy); "All under heaven is for the people" (a Chinese proverb); and "Rise together" (a phrase often used by New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio).
A small piece of my calligraphy, "The teacher and the student grow together," will be be included in the annual exhibition of the Society of Scribes of New York City at the National Arts Club at 15 Gramercy Park South in Manhattan. The exhibition will run from November 3 through November 27, and is free. The Club is open to the public Mondays through Fridays (excluding holidays) from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The Club's building, the historic, architecturally distinctive and beautifully appointed former home of Samuel Tilden (the former New York governor and Democratic nominee for President in 1876), is well worth a visit in and of itself!
Some of my work is featured in Cynthia Maris Dantzic's new book, "100 New York Calligraphers."
My pieces in the book are (clockwise starting at top left): "Persistence;" "The future is not a gift, it is an achievement" (quote from Robert F. Kennedy); "All under heaven is for the people" (Chinese proverb); and "Rise Together" (a phrase used by New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio).
2015 LGBT "Equality & Justice Day" at the State Capitol
May 1, '15 3:34 PM
On Tuesday, April 28, activists for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights from all across New York State converged on Albany for "Equality and Justice Day," which was organized by the Empire State Pride Agenda (ESPA). Hundreds of New Yorkers engaged in face-to-face lobbying, focusing their efforts on two important bills: the Gender Expression Non-Discrimination Act (GENDA, A. 4558A), legislation I've introduced along with Senator Dan Squadron (D-Brooklyn & Manhattan) to ban discrimination on the basis of gender expression or identity; and A. 4958, a bill introduced by Assembly Member Deborah Glick (D-Manhattan) and Senator Brad Hoylman (D-Manhattan) that would prohibit mental health professionals from engaging in so-called "conversion therapy" to change the sexual orientation of minors. In May, the Assembly will very likely pass GENDA for the eighth year in a row. This year, we hope the Senate finally takes action on this long-overdue legislation. Here is a video from ESPA in which several State legislators talk about grass roots activism and effectively engaging elected officials and their staff members.
Syracuse Post-Standard: Cuomo wants to pull plug on free website that reveals malpractice info about docs
Jan 30, '15 5:18 PM
Syracuse, N.Y. — Gov. Andrew Cuomo wants to pull the plug on a free state website that provides details about New York doctors' medical malpractice records, hospital affiliations and other background information.
A two-sentence item buried in Cuomo's proposed budget says the New York State Physician Profile website should be eliminated because much of the information is available elsewhere on the web. Scuttling the website would save the state $1.2 million annually.
The proposal surprised and angered some consumer and patient safety advocates who say the website is an important tool that helps New Yorkers choose doctors.
Citizens Union Endorsement
I'm proud to be endorsed by Citizens Union! Below is a clip from their 2014 general election endorsements, and here are links to the full press release and my candidate questionnaire:
"Citizens Union Chair Peter Sherwin and Executive Director Dick Dadey today announce Citizens Union's candidate endorsements in 12 races for the November 4th General Election, and its support for two of the three ballot proposals…
…Citizens Union also endorses incumbents James Brennan (AD 44) and Richard Gottfried (AD 75), who continue to be diligent and thoughtful stewards of reform, and models of elected officials serving the public with integrity and wisdom…"
NYT Editorial: Civil Rights for Transgender People
Reprinted from today's Ediorial Page of The New York Times:
New York stood for equality by approving same-sex marriage two years ago. It is time now for state lawmakers to extend basic civil rights protections to transgender people. The 2002 state statute that bars discrimination based on sexual orientation in employment, housing, education, credit and public accommodations does not explicitly cover transgender people.
Some jurisdictions, including New York City and Suffolk and Westchester Counties, have enacted protections. But in much of the state, people who have had sex-change surgery and others who do not identify with their birth gender can still be denied a job, shelter, credit or access to services because of who they are.
A measure to outlaw discrimination based on gender identity or expression — the Gender Expression Non-Discrimination Act, or Genda, sponsored by Assemblyman Richard Gottfried and Senator Daniel Squadron — passed the Democratic-led Assembly in April for the sixth time. There is a good chance it would also pass the Senate, with nearly all Democrats and some Republicans voting in favor. The challenge is getting the bill to the floor for an up-or-down vote before the end of the legislative session, scheduled on June 20.
Senator Jeffrey Klein, the Democratic leader in the Senate's coalition leadership, must insist on a vote. He should tell Senator Dean Skelos, the coalition's Republican leader, that bottling up bills like this one is not part of their power-sharing deal. It would help if Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a supporter of the bill, would commit political capital to enacting the legislation before the session ends. Sixteen states — including New Jersey and Connecticut — and the District of Columbia have enacted anti-discrimination protections covering transgender people. New York should not lag on this important civil rights issue.
Quinnipiac Poll: legalizing Medical Marijuana supported by 70% of NY voters

Sierra Oncology Submits Application Seeking FDA Approval of Momelotinib to Treat Myelofibrosis
Sierra Oncology noted in a company-issued press release that if momelotinib is approved by the FDA that they anticipate making the drug available to patients with myelofibrosis next year.
Sierra Oncology has submitted a new drug application to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the JAK inhibitor momelotinib to treat myelofibrosis, a rare type of blood cancer.
According to the FDA, a new drug application is submitted by a pharmaceutical company when they are ready to formally seek approval from the agency to sell and market a new drug in the United States. In its application, the pharmaceutical company seeking a new drug approval must provide enough data to show that the drug is safe and effective in its targeted patient population. Moreover, the findings must show the benefits outweigh any potential risks from the drug.
The application for approval of momelotinib was submitted using data from multiple studies, including the phase 3 MOMENTUM trial.
In January, CURE® spoke with Dr. Srdan Verstovsek, a researcher on the MOMENTUM study and professor of medicine in the Department of Leukemia at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, about the significant need of a drug like momelotinib for patients with myelofibrosis.
"Certainly if the drug is approved, as I would expect it to be in the very near future, momelotinib will be, by far, the No. 1 choice for therapy in the setting where it was tested," Verstovsek said in an interview.
If the FDA accepts the new drug application, a date will be set by the agency to decide to approve momelotinib. Of note, the FDA can change the decision date, request further data before deciding or approve before the given date.
Sierra Oncology noted in a company-issued press release that if momelotinib is approved by the FDA that they anticipate making the drug available to patients with myelofibrosis in 2023.

Rome – The rumors surrounding the future of Stefan De Vrij began circulating after he toned look okay with Lazio this season. But De Vrij affirmed his loyalty to remain with Lazio even without the Champions League next season though.
De Vrij trafficked from Feyenoord last summer and immediately appears as a core member back line Biancocelesti. Dutch defender appeared 27 times, even without a single goal.
De Vrij slick performance in line with the rate of Lazio this season in which they temporarily are in third place with 63 points, three points ahead of Napoli in fourth position.
Could be in the position of runner-up and chalked eight consecutive wins, Lazio's performance declined in the last five games with only collected one win. As a result the chance of qualifying for the Champions League next season is also threatened by Napoli and Fiorentina.
Naturally, if De Vrij began to be associated with a number of clubs including Manchester United, who are trained in the former Dutch national team mentor, Louis van Gaal. If only Lazio failed to appear in the Champions League next season then it is not impossible defender 23 years it will go.
However, the news was denied by De Vrij which confirms its commitment to the team from the capital, with or without Champions League next season.
"I am happy at Lazio and I'd still here next season," said De Vrij as quoted by Fox Sports.
"I want to play in the Champions League with this uniform, but it does not determine my future. If we do not qualify, then it will not change anything – I want to stay here," he continued.
"I've learned a lot and become a better defender, here in Rome. I am very happy with the decision I made," he said.

EOTTM CELEBRATES THE NATIONAL HOLIDAY IN STYLE ON JUNE 23RD! – 23 06 2022
EOTTM celebrates the national holiday in style on June 23rd!
For the National Day celebrations, EOTTM promises fireworks in the ring! Steven Butler will face Brandon Brewer for the NABF title!
Eye of the Tiger and Punching Grace present: EOTTM celebrates the national holiday in style on June 23rd!
To launch Québec's Fête Nationale with a bang, Eye of the Tiger will feature its next event on Thursday, June 23, with an exciting evening of boxing filled with fireworks at the Cabaret du Casino de Montréal. Erik Bazinyan (27-0, 21 KOs), Artem Oganesyan (13-0, 11 KOs), and Yves Ulysse Jr. (20-2, 11 KOs) will fill the ring with dynamite performances, while Steven Butler (29-3-1, 25 KOs) will confront Brandon Brewer (25-1-2, 11 KOs). To enhance this fight, the winner of this duel will have the chance to win the NABF middleweight title which will then be on the line.
EOTTM did not choose an adversary of Brandon Brewer's calibre at random. The New Brunswick native boxes with an offensive yet intricate style while remaining powerful and unyielding; until now, he remains unstoppable. He will force Butler to remain disciplined and strategic for the entire fight, according to Butler's team. "Brewer can not only roll with the punches, he is also a pro-active boxer who will certainly provide us with challenging rounds. Our goal is to make sure that Steven can maintain the power and intensity in the final rounds that he displays at the beginning of the fight. We're facing a highly qualified opponent but I have no doubt that Steven will be up to the task," asserts Butler's trainer, Rénald Boisvert.
Steven "Bang Bang" Butler, fresh from his 29th career win on March 3, where he delivered a third-round KO to Hector Manuel Zepeda, is very much aware of the danger that Brewer represents at this pivotal point in his career, but he fully intends to live up to his nickname and end the feud between them in a spectacular manner…with a bang! "I'm more determined then ever to continue my rise to the top. Nothing personal, but I intend to put Brewer in a world of pain. He's in my way right now, and I intend to continue to move forward," adds Butler.
Butler and Brewer agree on one thing; they do not plan to prolong hostilities until the decision on June 23: "I've been looking for an opportunity my entire career to fight in front of the Quebec fans. Montreal is the Mecca of Boxing in Canada and I'm really excited to put on a show with Steven Butler June 23rd. This is a life changing opportunity for me. So, I will ensure that the judges do not have anything to do with the outcome of this fight. Someone is getting knocked out. It's that simple. I will not let it go to the judges, whether it's him or me on the canvas. The fans are really going to get their moneys worth the moment I get into that ring. We will steal the show on June 23rd. See you soon Steven. "
Currently ranked 5th in the WBA world classification, the NABF super middleweight titleholder Erik "BZO" Bazinyan will defend his title for a second time. Artem "Razor" Oganesyan will jump back into the ring following a bitter victory against Stephen Danyo, whom he stopped prematurely, allowing Oganesyan to claim the super-middleweight NABF belt for the first time. Yves Ulysse Jr. bursts back on the Montreal scene; his last fight was held in Shawinigan where he stopped David Théroux in the 5th round while defending his super lightweight NABF belt. He is looking forward to proving his mettle and is thrilled to have the opportunity to fight before his fans.
Featuring several of its headliners in one explosive event, EOTTM is proud to offer an unforgettable evening of premium boxing to celebrate Québec's Fête Nationale. The full fight card will soon be revealed..

9/11 Anniversary: What could have been!

Fifteen years ago on 9/11, Al Qaeda terrorists changed the course of history, and the consequences of what happened on that day are still very much with us, and are arguably even growing more complex and more dangerous.
On 11 September 2001, 19 young Arab militants affiliated to Al Qaeda who had received rudimentary flying instruction in the United States hijacked and flew two passenger aircraft at the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York, one at the Pentagon in Washington and another aircraft was allegedly also flying towards the White House or the Capitol but it was brought down before it reached its target.
Nearly 3,000 innocent people were killed as the result of those terrorist outrages. In response, America launched the "War on Terror" that has killed upward of a million people, destroyed many Middle Eastern countries, ruined the lives of tens of millions, killed nearly 7,000 US troops and injured another 50,000, and has cost the United States a staggering six trillion dollars.
This was the first time in US history that the American mainland had been attacked after the British troops had set fire to the White House in 1814 during the war between the United States and England. Even during the Second World War the continental United States did not receive any direct attacks, and the closest that the Japanese got was to attack the US naval base at Pearl Harbour in Hawaii, on December 7, 1941.
Of course, during the past few decades there have been numerous terrorist attacks on the US and other targets, the most notable being the attack carried out by Timothy McVeigh on the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, which claimed 168 lives and left over 800 people injured. McVeigh too had religious motivations for his attacks.
He was a religious fanatic and a follower of David Koresh, and he bombed the federal building on the anniversary of the destruction of the Branch Davidian camp in Waco by federal forces, as the result of which Koresh, 54 other adults and 21 children were burnt alive
One can think of the massacre of close to a million Tutsis and Hutus in Burundi and Rwanda. A Human Rights Watch analysis estimated that 77% of the Tutsi population of Rwanda was slaughtered in the Rwandan Genocide of 1994.
Apart from the initial slaughter of hundreds of Palestinians and the ethnic cleansing of nearly 70% of the Palestinian population in 1948, we had the slaughter of as many as 3,500 Palestinian refugees at the Sabra and Shatila Camps in Lebanon by the Christian Phalangists between the 15 and 16 September 1982, under the supervision of the invading Israeli forces led by Ariel Sharon.
However, the 9/11 attacks have assumed a significance far greater than all other terrorist acts in the world.
Most Americans believe that the terrorist attacks on 9/11 were unprovoked and came out of the blue. However, a quick glance at the history of American military involvement in the Middle East shows that many Muslims in the Middle East had been on the receiving end of many violent American invasions and attacks.
To name just a few, during the First Persian Gulf War, (2 August 1990 – 28 February 1991), codenamed "Operation Desert Shield", more than 100,000 sorties were flown dropping 88,500 tons of bombs, many against Iraqi targets not only in Kuwait but in Baghdad. Between 20,000 and 26,000 Iraqi military personnel were killed and 75,000 others were wounded, and there were at least 3,500 civilian fatalities from bombing.
Apart from the attack on a bunker in Amiriyah, causing the deaths of 408 Iraqi civilians who were in the shelter, there was the attack on the fleeing Iraqis between Kuwait and Basra (known as Highway of Death), when between 1,400 and 2,000 vehicles were hit and up to 10,000 soldiers and civilians were killed.
The U.S. soldiers who bombed Iraqi forces even after they had surrendered on the field of battle in Operation Desert Storm laughed about their actions, calling the strafing "a turkey shoot," and likening it to "shooting fish in a barrel." As one American officer put it: "It's the biggest Fourth of July show you've ever seen. And to see those tanks just 'boom,' and more stuff keeps spewing out of them … it's wonderful."
There was an earlier 9/11, namely the US-supported coup in Chile and the bombing of La Moneda on 11 September 1973. President Richard Nixon had ordered economic warfare against the elected Socialist President Salvador Allende, culminating in a military coup led by army chief, Augusto Pinochet. Tens of thousands of people were arrested during the coup, many hundreds were detained, questioned, tortured and in some cases murdered.
It is important to remember that the CIA played a significant role in the creation of the Mujahedin fighters, the Taliban, and Al Qaeda in Afghanistan. When Soviet forces attacked Afghanistan in December 1979, the United States and her regional allies, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, created, trained and armed the Mujahedin (Holy Warriors) to fight against Russian forces.
The Soviet war in Afghanistan lasted for ten years with some 14.453 Soviet forces killed and tens of thousands wounded. Between one and a half and two million Afghans were also killed. There were two million internally displaced persons and another five million became refugees in Iran and Pakistan, and the country was devastated.
In addition to the Afghan Mujahedin, a large number of Muslim militants from neighboring Arab countries were also organized and sent to Afghanistan to join the fight against Soviet forces.
Osama bin Laden, a member of a wealthy family in Saudi Arabia, became a prominent organizer and financier of those foreign volunteers, with enormous assistance from Saudi Arabia and Pakistan and tacit support from the United States. Under the CIA's "Operation Cyclone", from 1979 to 1989, the United States and Saudi Arabia provided $40 billion worth of financial aid and weapons to almost 100,000 Mujahidin and "Afghan Arabs" through Pakistan's Inter-Service Intelligence.
After the defeat and withdrawal of the Soviet forces from Afghanistan, Osama bin Laden turned his attention to the other superpower, the United States, with the aim of allegedly freeing Muslim lands from Western occupation. In a message issued on 23 February 1998, announcing his intention to fight against what he called "the crusader armies", bin Laden complained: "…despite the great devastation inflicted on the Iraqi people by the crusader-Zionist alliance, and despite the huge number of those killed, which has exceeded one million… despite all this, the Americans are once again trying to repeat the horrific massacres, as though they are not content with the protracted blockade imposed after the ferocious war or the fragmentation and devastation. So here they come to annihilate what is left of this people and to humiliate their Muslim neighbors."
Of course, what Osama bin Laden said was morally reprehensible. At the same time, many militant Muslims find some remarks by Western politicians equally worrisome and insensitive. For instance, when the then Secretary of State Madeline Albright was asked on camera if the death of half a million Iraqi children as the result of the sanctions had been worth it, her response was an emphatic "it was worth it."
The aim of referring to other atrocities apart from 9/11 is not to belittle its significance, but merely to point out that it was not the only terrorist or violent act in the course of recent history. It is also to point out that the "War on Terror" was not the best way of dealing with an event, which was merely a criminal act carried out by a few deranged fanatics.
After all, Osama bin Laden had said that one of his main aims was to lure American forces to wars in the Middle East so that they could bleed in the same way that Soviet forces had bled. Unfortunately, President George W. Bush fell into that trap.
Joel Beinin, a professor of Middle Eastern history at Stanford University, was criticized for anti-American remarks when he simply said: "If Osama bin Laden is confirmed to be behind the attacks, the United States should bring him before an international tribunal on charges of crimes against humanity."
Had Osama bin Laden been treated as a violent criminal, and had he been tried and brought to justice instead of President Bush launching a "War on Terror", he would have been exposed and condemned in the eyes of his supporters, millions of lives and trillions of dollars would have been saved and the world would not be facing the intensified scourge of terrorism that has been mainly an outcome of the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan.
Of course, it is not possible to set the clock back, but we can only contemplate what could have been if a different course had been pursued, and also we can learn a lesson about the fight against terrorism in the future. After all, ideas, even distorted and extremist ideas, cannot be bombed away.
The only way to fight against them is to hold a dialogue, educate and enlighten the fanatics, and above all to hold fast to our principles. And most importantly, to understand why people become terrorists in the first place and do something about the reasons they do, if we can.
What will defeat the terrorists is adherence to law, freedom, democracy and a society that accommodates all the different voices.
As Mike Lofgren stated in his book The Deep State, "The tangled, millennia-old story of Syria and Iraq or Afghanistan, or the complex ethnic hatreds of the Balkans vanish before a few sonorous phrases like 'regime change,' 'responsibility to protect,' or 'humanitarian intervention.' This mind-set leads to predictable disasters from which the political establishment never learns the appropriate lessons."
If we wish to avoid further disasters we must learn the appropriate lessons from our mistakes.

My sincerest apologies to those who were planning a family outing to Newark at some point in 2012 to see the Triple A club of the Yankees.
The heartless and brutal Mets—those known monsters of baseball—refused the Yankees request to allow their top farm club from Scranton Wilkes/Barre to play one season in Newark while the Scranton ballpark is refurbished.
They were well within their rights to do so.
The reason or reasons are irrelevant.
This latest criticism of the Wilpons is unfounded because no one knows who actually made the decision to deny the Yankees lobbying for the anti-trust exemption. There's probably more to the story than what's been reported so far.
Either way, how is this even an issue?
Because Jerry Izenberg wrote a partisan article about the Mets act and the history of baseball in Newark? Izenberg is 81-years-old; the piece is nostalgic of a lost time in the town of Newark that's not going to return no matter how many affiliated clubs are attached to it. It's a Philip Roth-style piece of "remember when" that has nothing to do with today's reality.
That reality is that Izenberg and those who are protesting so loudly are doing so safe in the knowledge that perhaps a fraction of 1% of them would actually get up and go to a game in Newark to watch the Yankees farm club play.
The only way people from New York (or from New Jersey) would go to Newark to watch that team is if there's an injury-rehabbing Derek Jeter or Alex Rodriguez there for a night.
Self-interested parties are crafting a cause. This is a manufactured excuse to rip into the Mets for reasons that are clear. It's agenda-laden and tinged with nonsense and has a shelf-life of a day. Those partaking are either digging for an attention-grabber or haven't the faintest clue nor interest in what the true story is as to why the Mets said no. There might not be one, but there doesn't have to be one.
No one cares other than to achieve their own ends and few are interested in a stroll down memory lane to the 1950s and they certainly wouldn't be taking that stroll to go to Newark.


For the fifth consecutive year, Understanding Reverse has been published to reflect the most current regulations governing the ever-changing reverse mortgage.
I still can't believe it has been 5 years. But every January, I announce the release of this updated reverse mortgage handbook. As always, the intent of the book is to answer the most common questions people have about this financial product.
The feedback from consumers and lenders alike is that Understanding Reverse has effectively helped older homeowners make the right decisions about leveraging their home equity during retirement. Sometimes borrowers are on the fence because they don't feel comfortable with their product knowledge. Since the book helps clients be at peace with their decisions, it's a win for everyone.
The book, which is designed to be lender-neutral, also has become the go-to handbook for many top reverse mortgage brokers, direct lenders, attorneys, and servicers. This is because it contains resources, updates, and regulatory references that make it effective as a training and compliance tool.
Outside of changes to the FHA appraisal review process, last year was a slower year for regulatory changes. This provided the opportunity for me to make other enhancements to the book.
In all, the 2019 edition contains over 70 significant changes, making this edition the cleanest, easiest-to-read explanation of reverse mortgage products since the book project began in 2013. In addition, we expect to see increased use of the Kindle version this year.
We continue to see loan originators find success by branding their copies of the paperback. The copies given out tend to circulate among friends. Whether or not someone decides to obtain a reverse mortgage, when they are done using the book, they will pass it on to someone who needs it. This is a way of stretching your marketing efforts.
Therefore, a best practice is to place a sticker, or rubber-stamp, that contains your information on the inside cover. Make sure to include "This book is provided courtesy of…" as well as your contact numbers, NMLS ID, and other required compliance items.
For those that buy the book each year, thank you for your support of reverse mortgage education. If you are interested in a single copy, your best bet is through Amazon, where it's available in both paperback and kindle, retailing for $15.95 and $9.95 respectively. Otherwise, bulk pricing for industry professionals can be found on the book's Website.
For more information about the book, please visit my website and subscribe to my blog in the upper right corner of this page.

This site and accompanying book were created for a broad audience. Whether you are an older homeowner, financial planner, counselor, Realtor, or mortgage professional, you should find this material helpful in understanding the New Reverse Mortgage.

"I am excited to attend Basel this year not only to hopefully see my father and give him a break from meetings in Holland and I am also very excited to be visiting Switzerland. I have not had the opportunity to travel outside the country for nearing on a decade and I recently renewed my passport with no trip planned, but as I reminder to myself that it was time to do some traveling that didn't involve me filing a claim with my travel department upon my return."
"In particular, I'm looking forward to seeing, and hopefully wearing, some of the selections from the Carl F. Bucherer collection – in particular the Manero Tourbillion Limited Edition, because how could you not want to wind the CFB T1001 caliber and watch that gorgeous tourbillion.

How to prepare for a date – start with your home!
by EliteSingles Editor
If you've registered on EliteSingles and your dating life is looking up, it's time to start preparing for a new stage of life. Start by making your house a home.
The saying goes that 'home is where the heart is' – and it seems it's true; in a survey of 1500 EliteSingles members almost 1 in 3 said they could be attracted to someone based on their living quarters! Yet it's not as superficial as it sounds. After all, the way someone decides to decorate their home tends to reflect their personality, personal pride and taste, so it's no wonder that an attractive home creates a halo effect, casting the homemaker in a positive light.
How to prepare for a date
Creating a warm, welcoming space doesn't necessarily take a lot of time or money. It's all about creating a clean and tidy space with a bit of character.
Household heroes: the 10 most attractive household features
Thirty-two percent of singles said it was possible to be attracted to a partner based on their living space, and the following items were thought to be most alluring:
1. Well-equipped kitchen
2. Family pictures
3. Artworks
4. Well-stocked bookshelves
6. Travel paraphernalia
7. Musical instruments
8. Designer furniture
9. Vintage furniture
10. Hand-made items

Household horrors: the ultimate turn-offs
On the other end of the scale, 51% of survey respondents said they would be prepared to walk away from a potential partnership if their living space wasn't up to scratch.
According to the survey men voted motivational notes as the biggest household horror (25% of votes), followed by stuffed animals (23%) and too many cosmetics (13%). Floral patterns and kitsch, girly decorations were also listed as offending household features. Women pointed to a different set of no-go items; an empty-looking apartment received 63% of the votes, followed by the presence of a video game console (9%) and ugly colours (8%). The survey also revealed that men wanting to prepare for a date ought to avoid having bare walls and empty fridges.
ELITESINGLES SURVEY: Who should ask for the second date? Our members have their say.
Knowing how to prepare for a date is all about self-reflection and attracting a compatible partner.
The most popular style was 'glamour' (characterised by metallic accents, rich textures and a deep colour palate), with 25 per cent of the votes. Go for this look if you see yourself as "fashionable" or "cultured" – and expect to attract singles who like to live the high life.
At the other end of the aesthetic spectrum, but equally as popular, 'country' style also came in with 25% of the votes. This look is characterized by natural fabrics, thick stripes and French blues, and is perfect if you're a nature lover or want to project yourself as being family oriented.

Former DHS official warns of political violence that can worsen after the Capitol assault
Former Ministry of Homeland Security Intelligence analyst Daryl Johnson, who wrote an internal report in 2009 warning that right-wing extremism was on the rise in the United States, warns that political violence is escalating following last week's uprising against Congress that took place in President Donald Trump took place, will aggravate bidding.
"That Capitol riot we had last week – some people were fine, that's the climax of the story. No it is not. This ushers in a new phase of violence and hostility, "Johnson said in an interview with NBC News. "This is not the last chapter in a dying movement."
When asked about his reaction to the attack, Johnson said: "During the summer, spring, and fall we had two other capitol buildings in Michigan and Idaho that were overrun and breached by the same kind of people. It wasn't impossible for these people to do something similar to try to stop the election. I thought it would be in a different Capitol, but it was the U.S. Capitol, after all. So it wasn't a surprise. But it was shocking to see what was going on and how the crowd was stimulated and turned into this violent mob. "
Johnson noted that President Trump, who started the riot that killed five people, including Capitol policeman Brian Sicknick,primarily responsible for fueling fears, spreading lies and disinformation, and promoting conspiracy theories. "
"So he definitely poured a lot of fuel into this fire. That fire was already raging when he got into the office and he just took it to a whole new level, "he added.
He cautioned, however, that the attack on the Capitol is not so much the "climax" of a violent story as the "ushering in" of a "new phase" of violence and hostility. "
Johnson recommended that the government fund organizations run by those who have themselves de-radicalized. "and can develop strategies on how to do public relations and get people out. "
Impeachment proceedings are currently ongoing. Representative Steny Hoyer (R-Md.) Told reporters this morning that the House intended to immediately send impeachment articles to the Senate and expedite the impeachment of the president. Senator Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), The outgoing Senate majority leader, is reportedly backing the impeachment process and accusing Trump of losing control of the Senate after Reverend Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff won the publicly known Georgia runoff had .
"For years we have been asked to ignore the crime, corruption and obvious disregard for the rule of law by the tyrant president we have in the White House," said representative Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.). "We as a nation can no longer look the other way."

Home The MedBiquitous Blog Join Us! MedBiquitous Community Connection Webinar - Feb. 15, 12-1pm (ET)
By AAMC
The 2022 season of the "MedBiquitous Community Connection" webinar series launches on Feb. 15, 12-1 p.m. (ET). Our season premiere highlights community luminary Dr. Marc Triola, NYU Grossman School of Medicine, and his presentation, "The Modernization of Health Professions Education."
MedBiquitous webinars are free to attend, but registration is required. Register here.
Medical education and medical schools, as well as the other health professions, are reinventing themselves. The worlds of science, technology, and health care are evolving at lightning pace, rendering the 10-year lifecycle of a traditional one-size-fits-all medical school curriculum a relic. Our students are learning and collaborating in a fundamentally different way, with technology and a broader world of health professions education resources allowing them to pick-and-choose what and how they learn. These disruptive changes are all opportunities for us to adapt, have greater agility, better meet the needs of our students and communities, and rethink long-standing antiquated models.
The skills, resources, and team necessary for a health professions school to thrive in 2022 are very different from what got us to this point. Strengths in artificial intelligence, predictive analytics, a robust data warehouse, using electronic health record data in the curriculum, asynchronous and remote instruction, and simulation technology are all quickly becoming the core of our responses to the disruptive forces. How do we get there? This presentation will give a perspective on the resources, structure, governance, and principles that a health professions school can use in 2022 to build innovation capacity and be growth-minded. We will discuss how to engage partners and stakeholders and how to drive real change and data-driven decision-making at your schools. The goal is to enable all of us to become a continuously learning system that consistently and constantly improves apace to the changing world around us.
Marc Triola, MD, FACP, is the associate dean for educational informatics and an associate professor of medicine at NYU Grossman School of Medicine. He is the founding director of the Institute for Innovations in Medical Education (IIME), a multidisciplinary team of faculty educators, education scientists, and informaticians. IIME combines education strategies with new informatics solutions to connect patient care and education at NYU Langone in a research and innovation initiative that is translational, empowers transformational change in our school, and benefits our patients.
Dr. Triola's research focuses on precision education and the use of AI tools to efficiently personalize medical education to individual learners and give new insights to their programs and coaches. His lab develops new learning technologies, AI-driven educational interventions, and works to define educationally sensitive patient and system outcomes that can be used to assess the impact of training. Dr. Triola and IIME have been funded by the NIH, the Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation, the Department of Education, the Department of Defense, and the American Medical Association's Accelerating Change in Medical Education program.
"MedBiquitous Community Connection" is a series of free one-hour webinars featuring health professions educators and technology innovators from around the globe. Our webinars provide a forum for community experts to share how digital technologies are promoting improvement and better outcomes across the continuum of health professions education.
Each webinar will reserve time for a brief Q&A session, allowing attendees the opportunity to dialogue with guest speakers.
