Central Hockey League facts for kids
The Central Hockey League (CHL) is a mid-level professional hockey league in the United States. It is owned by Global Entertainment Corporation. It was started in 1992.
The first CHL season was in 1992-1993. It started with six teams, including the Oklahoma City Blazers, the Tulsa Oilers, the Wichita Thunder, the Memphis RiverKings, the Dallas Freeze and the Fort Worth Fire.
In 1996-97, the Huntsville Channel Cats, along with the planned 1996–97 Southern Hockey League (SHL) expansion teams Columbus Cottonmouths, Macon Whoopee, and Nashville Nighthawks, joined the Central Hockey League after the SHL ended.
The CHL came together with the Western Professional Hockey League (WPHL) in 2001.
The CHL commissioner is now Duane Lewis, who succeeded Brad Treliving on an temporary basis after Treliving took a position with the NHL's Phoenix Coyotes following the 2006-2007 season. Treliving co-founded the WPHL in 1996, and after the 2001 merger, served with the CHL for seven years. Lewis was named the permanent commissioner in June 2008.
On June 1, 2010 the league announced that it would come together with the International Hockey League.
The CHL is divided into two Conferences. Teams compete every year for the Ray Miron President's Cup.

Python community to groom AI developers in Nigeria
Ife Ogunfuwa
Python Nigeria community has pledged to raise an army of artificial intelligent developers in the country through training of young Nigerians in the use of python programming language.
The Chairperson of the community, Pius Okigbo Jnr, described artificial intelligence as the new frontier for Nigeria and developing countries to play in the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
He spoke at a press conference in Lagos and pledged to use his wealth of experience in the software industry to deepen the knowledge and understanding of how to use python software to deliver top-grade services in the country and ultimately for the benefit of the young people.
"I will ensure that we have some sort of interface where we can share our advancement and reach within the community and see how best we can propagate the goals and objectives we think we can gain by driving the use python in our software community," he noted.
The immediate past Chairperson, Python Nigeria Community, Kelvin Oyanna, explained that the community was basically building people to develop skills and expertise in python programming language to solve problems.
He said, "When young people are armed with skills, they are able to use them to build technology tools to solve problems in finance, infrastructure and agriculture and build solutions to solve our Nigerian problems.
"We are really looking for people who have no skills, no experience at all to come on board. We can confidently say we gave them the platform to develop the skills and expertise they need in their job or build business around technology. At the end of the day, we have people coming from different spheres of interest, from public, financial and educational sectors, among others," Oyanna said.
"Whichever level of qualification you are, we are willing through our various initiatives like meet-ups and training to upkeep and train people to develop their expertise to become better in their job or build businesses around whatever technology they want to build."
According to the President, Institute of Software Practitioners of Nigeria, Dr Yele Okeremi, as a member of python community of developers, you have to understand that there are certain things in life that the value that ascribe to them is derived from the community and how large the community is.
He said, "For platform owners such as Microsoft, Apple, and Google, what they do is to try as much as possible to get developers onto their platforms. (This is) because when you bring developers, once you are able to lure developers using your platform, then your platform becomes more valuable.
"The same thing is happening with python, which is a development tool. They realised that the best thing is coming together so that nobody can kill them. They want to share experiences, challenges, fears and aspirations so that together they can make the platform a lot more acceptable to people; and by so doing, making it a lot more valuable."
He said ISPON would continue to support all such communities created to develop intellectual property in Nigeria.

James Baldwin Residence added to National Register of Historic Places
NEW YORK, NY — September 12, 2019 — The NYC LGBT Historic Sites Project is extremely pleased to share the news that the James Baldwin Residence, located at 137 West 71st Street, has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The nomination was initiated and researched by the Project as part of a National Park Service grant to increase LGBT diversity on the National Register, facilitated by the New York State Historic Preservation Office ( SHPO ). The NYS SHPO confirmed on September 3, 2019, the official listing of the New York City site.
As a gay black author, civil rights activist, and social commentator, Baldwin transformed, and continues to transform, discussions about race and sexuality in America and abroad.
"Seeing James Baldwin's NYC residence listed on the National Register of Historic Places is the realization of our mission, in part, to increase LGBT representation on this important official inventory of sites and to formally recognize the U.S. home most closely associated with Baldwin, a pivotal voice of 20th century America," said Amanda Davis, project manager of the NYC LGBT Historic Sites Project. "We are delighted that our years of research into Baldwin's connections to New York City and this home, specifically, have resulted in the site's recognition at both the local, state, and national levels."
The National Register listing follows the site's listing on the State Register of Historic Places, which occurred on July 15, 2019.
Literary icon and civil rights activist James Baldwin used this Upper West Side remodeled rowhouse as his New York City residence from 1965 until his death in 1987. Although he generally eschewed labels and did not self-identify as gay, he was open about the fact that he had relationships with men and spoke openly about various LGBT issues. He first wrote about his own sexuality in his 1985 essay, "Freaks and the American Ideal of Manhood." Baldwin wrote several novels that featured gay and bisexual characters, such as his groundbreaking second novel, Giovanni's Room ( 1956 ), and spoke openly about same-sex relationships and LGBT issues. Read the complete entry on our website ( here ).
"The NYC LGBT Historic Sites Project has created a national model for recognizing the underrepresented history of LGBT New Yorkers. We are truly grateful for this collaboration and congratulate the LGBT Historic Sites Project on this latest achievement of officially designating the residence of gay author, activist and New Yorker, James Baldwin, to the National Register, said Erik Kulleseid, Commissioner of the NYS Office of Parks Recreation and Historic Preservation ( SHPO ).
The National Register of Historic Places is the federal government's honorary list of sites deemed significant to American history and includes over 93,500 sites across the country, yet the LGBT community remains vastly underrepresented with less than twenty sites. To date, the Project has been involved with seven of the 22 LGBT-related listings on the National Register. Additionally, the Project authored the Historic Context Statement for LGBT History in New York City ( 2018 ) to help guide the New York State Historic Preservation Office and New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in evaluating LGBT historic sites. The Project is also surveying sites that appear eligible for official listing and is nominating sites to the National Register of Historic Places; see what has been listed so far in New York City.
The James Baldwin Residence was designated a NYC Individual Landmarkby the NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission on June 18, 2019, at the onset of WorldPride and a month of celebration in lead-up to the 50th anniversary of the game-changing Stonewall uprising. The Project's research served as a key foundation for the Commission's evaluation of this and five other LGBT historic sites; its advocacy brought a wave of public support to these sites in advance of their important public hearing before the Commission. The Project remains grateful to all those who supported these designations, in particular New York City Council Speaker Corey Johnson, a champion for preservation LGBT history in New York City. Revisit the Project's testimony on the James Baldwin Residence ( here ).
About the NYC LGBT Historic Sites Project
The NYC LGBT Historic Sites Project is a nonprofit cultural initiative and educational resource that is making an invisible history visible by documenting extant historic and cultural sites associated with the LGBT community throughout New York City.

Champions League final victory defined Steven Gerrard as one of the greatest of his generation
Carl Markham
Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard kisses the UEFA Champions League trophy at The Ataturk Olympic Stadium, Istanbul, Turkey, Wednesday May 25, 2005.
It was the match which defined one of the greatest footballers of his generation and arguably the best to pull on the famous red shirt of Liverpool.
For all his heroics in the 18 years of his professional career those memorable 45 minutes in Istanbul, when Steven Gerrard brought his side back from the dead by leading from the front against AC Milan, will be the midfielder's lasting legacy to the sport he graced so magnificently for so long.
In a 2015 post-match interview after snatching a late winner against QPR, Gerrard was asked whether he had scored a better header.
The midfielder pointed out his one in the Champions League final, which sparked the comeback from 3-0, was not bad. The reporter admitted he had forgotten that one. "I haven't," replied Gerrard with a knowing smile.
It is the subject the former England international, now manager of Rangers, gets asked about more than anything else.
"Still till this day, the hairs on my neck stand up. It was the best night of my life. It's the pinnacle of every footballer - it's the best cup to win," Gerrard said, speaking four years ago as he approached the final match of his Liverpool career before taking up a new challenge in Major League Soccer with Los Angeles Galaxy.
"The way we went about it and how the evening panned out, I think it'll go down in history as the best Champions League final ever.
"As captain of that team, there was no prouder man on the planet that night.
"By a country mile it was the best night of my career. It was a surreal evening and a surreal game of football and still now it is difficult to describe what happened that night.
"But it was also the whole journey of that season in the Champions League, there were so many ups and down but we managed to get it over the line - but we didn't do it the easy way.

"If you had said to me at 18 years of age I would win the Champions League at 25 and 10 years later I'd be doing interviews about being a Champions League winner I'd have said 'good one, no chance'.
"Looking back, it was a fantastic memory personally and everyone connected with the club."
Liverpool had scraped through the group stage thanks to a late intervention by Gerrard against Olympiacos, which the midfielder rates as his most important goal because of what it laid the foundations for.
It was no surprise Milan were favourites going into the game but no-one would have predicted their 3-0 half-time lead following two goals from Hernan Crespo after a first-minute opener from Paolo Maldini.
After that no-one gave Liverpool a hope. The pundits' half-time chat was of damage-limitation but the indomitable spirit of the travelling Red army proved to be an inspiration.
Thousands on the terraces roused themselves from the shock to belt out 'You'll Never Walk Alone' loud enough for the players to hear in the bowels of the Ataturk Stadium.
It was a call to arms, an anthem of defiance, of belief, of hope.
The players, with Gerrard at the forefront, heard the message and ran with it leading to their famous victory on penalties.
Pivotal to the turnaround was the switch in tactics by manager Rafael Benitez, who brought on holding midfielder Dietmar Hamann to regain some control and also free Gerrard to charge forward.

"It was the greatest night of my career as it is the biggest prize in club football," the German said.
"The way we won it, for a foreigner like me to win it with Liverpool, for the fifth time after 21 years and see all the happy faces when we came home was a special night."
Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher was in total agreement.
"It was such an iconic game not just for Liverpool but for football in general," he said.
"It is very rare you go too many days without someone reminding you of it. I was very fortunate to be involved and very proud.
"It was like a film. As soon as the final was over I am sure there were people thinking about books and films.
"Considering some of the results we had along the way it wasn't a vintage season in terms of the league that year, we lost to Burnley in the FA Cup as well so to win the European Cup at the end of the season was a dream."


This oil is composed of wax esters, it is an extremely stable substance and does not easily deteriorate.The structure closely resembles that of our own skin sebum, making it an excellent moisturizer and ideal for all skin types.
When used as a massage medium, it acts as an emulsifier with the skin's natural sebum and gently unclogs the pores and lifts grime and imbedded impurities.
It contains myristic acid which also has anti-inflammatory actions and since it has a similar in composition to that of the skin's own oils, it is quickly absorbed and is excellent for dry and mature skins as well as inflamed conditions.
In most cases it can be used on acne skin without any problems as it helps to control acne, it is also an antioxidant – so the oil does not become rancid and can prevent rancidity in other oils. It can be used pure in massage, or can be mixed with other carrier oils.

Movie Review: "Star Trek Beyond"
Posted by Jack Giroux (07/21/2016 @ 10:00 am)
Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldana, Karl Urban, Simon Pegg, Anton Yelchin, John Cho, Idris Elba, Sofia Boutella, Joe Taslim
In 2009, director J.J. Abrams helped to successfully relaunch the "Star Trek" franchise, and his reboot remains an immensely entertaining adventure movie. Although its sequel, "Star Trek Into Darkness," is not without its moments, it's a disappointing follow-up that's held back by some unfortunate twists and a misjudged villain. The film hardly slowed down this now 50-year-old franchise, however, which returns to the big screen with "Star Trek Beyond." The Justin Lin-directed sequel quickly gets the crew back on track by delivering a very entertaining and often kind-hearted summer movie.
Captain James T. Kirk (Chris Pine) is tired of his five-year mission to seek out new life and explore new worlds. While on a diplomatic assignment with fellow crew members Spock (Zachary Quinto), Uhura (Zoe Saldana), Doctor "Bones" McCoy (Karl Urban), Sulu (John Cho), Chekov (Anton Yelchin) and Montgomery Scott (Simon Pegg), Kirk presents an alien species with a peace offering from the Federation. The gift is part of a deadly ancient weapon called the Abronath, but he has no clue what it is or what it's capable of. Krall (Idris Elba), on the other hand, knows exactly what it can do. The face-changing villain is against everything the Federation stands for, so he dupes the Enterprise crew into going on a "rescue mission" to a distant planet, where he attacks them, leaving the crew completely torn apart. Even though they're outnumbered and outmatched, Kirk and the gang are not alone in their fight against Krall, joining forces with an alien warrior named Jaylah (Sofia Boutella, who turns out to be a great addition to the series) to stop him from unleashing the Abronath.

The Light from the TV Shows: Eight Years of "House" Guests
Posted by Will Harris (05/17/2012 @ 12:52 am)
With "House" coming to its conclusion on Monday after an eight-year run, it's fair to say that quite a few regular cast members have seen their way in and out of the doors of Princeton Plainsboro Teaching Hospital, but their number can't hold a candle to how many guest stars – we're talking people who were on the show for a single-digit number of times – have turned up over the years. This isn't all of them, but it's a start…
Robin Tunney (Ep. 1.1, "Pilot")
Character: a kindergarten teacher who becomes dysphasic and starts having seizures. Turns out she's invested with tapeworms.
Sam Trammell (Ep. 1.4, "Maternity")
Character: the father of a baby girl that's not even out of the maternity ward and already on death's door from a virus.
Elizabeth Mitchell (Ep. 1.5, "Damned If you Don't")
Character: a nun who looks like she's suffering from stigmata but is later discovered to be suffering an allergic reaction to a copper cross IUD left over from her, uh, wilder days.
Dominic Purcell (Ep. 1.6, "Fidelity")
Character: a husband whose wife – the Patient of the Week – turns out to have been unfaithful.
Amanda Seyfried (Ep. 1.11, "Detox")
Character: girlfriend to the Patient of the Week.
Scott Foley (Ep. 1.12, "Sports Medicine")
Character: a baseball player suffering cadmium poisoning from all the pot he's been smoking.
Joe Morton (Ep. 1.17, "Role Model")
Character: a senator suffering the after-effects of an epilepsy treatment from childhood
John Cho (Ep. 1.20, "Love Hurts")
Character: a guy who, after spilling apple juice on House's clothes, ends up being diagnosed by him as having had a stroke. Upon further investigation, it's determined that he has a trauma-induced aneurysm as a result of a preference for sadomasochism.
Carmen Electra (Ep. 1.21, "Three Stories")
Character: While begrudgingly lecturing a classroom of medical students about a past patient who is depicted as looking like Carmen Electra playing miniature golf. In reality, the patient was actually a male golfer…and he played regular golf, by the way. (Who knew miniature golf could be so sexy?)

A 'Perfect' Australian partnership is set to save children's sight in a global mission – laser surgery expert, Perfect Vision has partnered with The Fred Hollows Foundation.
Both the Not for Profit and the corporate agree that the famous phrase 'an eye for an eye' is given real meaning through this partnership.
Perfect Vision and The Fred Hollows Foundation say they have come up with a simple arrangement that will help produce results. For every eye treated with Perfect Vision's iLasik procedure, a donation will be made to The Fred Hollows Foundation and its global mission to save children's sight.
Dr. Con Moshegov, principal surgeon at Perfect Vision says the company is committed to giving back to the community and its annual donations are a great way to help a cause it is so passionate about.
Gabi Hollows, wife of Professor Fred Hollows and Founding Director of The Fred Hollows Foundation agrees saying the support of Perfect Vision which will help The Foundation improve the health and sight of children around the world.
The fundraising initiative, in which the $200 patient consultation fee is donation to the Foundation, is set to last for at least 12 months, however Perfect Vision says it plans to continue supporting The Fred Hollows Foundation into the future.
The laser vision correction and laser eye surgery company says the relationship came together when Perfect Vision approached The Fred Hollows Foundation in an effort to contribute more holistically to restoring sight internationally.
It says given the Foundation's global reputation for restoring sight for the most disadvantaged communities, Perfect Vision saw no better partner in expanding its efforts.

Don't You Dare Close Your Eye's! 4 Reasons Disney's Aladdin is a Must See + Video Review and Giveaway #Aladdin
Disclosure: This post is sponsored by Jakks Pacific whose sponsoring this giveaway and our annual holiday toy drive. Thank you for reading & supporting the brands who help us support families in need.
Growing up I remember watching Disney's Aladdin in the living room of our 2 bedroom apartment in Queens, we'd pull off all the seat cushions from the couches and spread each of them across the floor. My sissy and I would pretend that we were hopping from one rooftop to the next like we were being chased through the city of Agrabah. I'm surprised we didn't ruin the dang VHS ribbon after the number of times we played that tape. We'd belt out all of those catchy songs at the top of our lungs and crack up at Robin Williams in his larger than life role as the Genie.
Fast forward to today and us 80's and 90's babies have been waiting patiently for the release in theaters, some of us with a little skepticism after seeing what felt like subpar trailers and having high expectations of Disney's latest live-action update. Would it be masterfully produced, and visually engaging? It's freaking Disney of course and Guy Ritchie was at the helm in the director's seat giving his touch of fast action and grit, while the legendary Alan Menken would undoubtedly have us singing along on a new adventure, with 2 brand new songs.
Aladdin is one of those movies that quintessentially represents our childhood and we knew there was no way with all the cinematic magic in the world that Disney could fail us, or could they?
I'll say this, Don't You Dare close your eyes on this movie or underestimate Will Smith in his role as the Genie! We screened the film with our 2 boys and it brought a whole new world to light in a way that was true to the nostalgiac storyline yet updated with a few modern twists that were meant to appeal to a Gen Z audience.
1. THE GENIE
I figured let's jump right in and start with Will Smith because most of the media buzz surrounded his smurfy blue CGI character that left most folks questioning if he could even come close to bringing the Genie to life in the same humorous yet charismatic way that the legendary Robin Williams had. Now look, we all know that no one could ever compare to the original character and that's ok because a multi-faceted actor like Will Smith can handle the challenge! The rapper turned actor put his own spin on it with classic quick rhymes while bringing some Fresh Prince flavor to Agrabah. Within the first few moments of the movie, he is already singing and overall he did an exceptional job: he brought the charm and the swagger and of course, made us laugh and I think Robin Williams would truly be proud.
When Mike and I started dating, I'd get such a kick out of him excitedly reciting all the lines from Disney's Aladdin, I mean he knows practically every single word and he'd sing along with the cutest smile and youthful enthusiasm. So cheesy! But he's always reminded me of Aladdin, street smart and charming. You should have seen him, he was so hyped and I could feel him nudging me during certain parts, smiling when he approved. As cheesy as it is we were both singing " A Whole New World" and holding hands, even though I had Peabo Bryson and Regina Belle's version in my head.
2. ALADDIN & JASMINE
The title may be Aladdin (Mena Massoud) but this story was just as much, about Princess Jasmine (Naomi Scott) who's character development is way more in-depth this time around. I don't have daughters but it was so cute seeing the little girls in the theater dressed up like the independent princess who isn't scared to speak her mind. If you thought Princess Jasmine was sassy in the animated version, wait to you see how headstrong she is now. A standout moment was certainly Scott singing the new song "Speechless" which is this really climatic song that gives her a voice with it's empowering lyrics. Mena Massoud played the role of Aladdin like he was destined for the role, it suited him perfectly, showcased his charmed and athleticism. There was a great lesson surrounding his character and self-acceptance.
I'll never forget when Mike and I went on our first trip together with my family to Las Vegas nearly 16 years ago and we knew we absolutely wanted to stay at the Aladdin hotel. It's unfortunately closed now, but it was such a fantastic hotel to stay at with a true Persian vibe. As you walked through the shops, it was like a desert passageway and on the hour there was a really cool indoor rain shower that we visited frequently.
3. THE SCENERY + COSTUMES
Once we took our seats I know like me, the crowd was looking forward to being whisked away to escape the day to day reality on a visual ride of our lives. When we received the invite to screen the movie it made no mention of us previewing it in 3D. Honestly, it must be the magic of Disney because normally I'd pass on the annoying plastic glasses to just see the plain version and avoid the headaches. Surprisingly not this time! I was fixated on every moment and was mesmerized by every scene. Watching the story unfold in 3D will leave you feeling like you're trudging through sand dunes, dodging dangerous perils in the Cave of Wonder and singing along through starry skies on that magical carpet right alongside Aladdin and Jasmine. From the Marrakech walls draped with textured tapestries, to the vibrant marketplace filled with colorful fruits and jewel-toned accented jewels, the sets seemed to be so intricately designed.
Passing through the halls of the theater were full Jafar and Aladdin costumes that everyone stopped to take pics of. The emphasis on the details were incredible!
4. MUSIC & CHOREOGRAPHY
The greatness that is Alan Menken was remixed with a combination of modern music where hip hop/ pop meets Bollywood, leaving viewers tapping their feet to the beat. The choreography was really fun to watch and designed by Jamal Sims (Hair Spray and Step Up) and had a contemporized feel with break dancing featured in big numbers like "Prince Ali" and "Friend Like Me". In "One Jump Ahead" we really get a sense of the athleticism of the cast, with really impressive, fast-paced action sequences we all thought required a stunt double.
Overall Thoughts & Giveaway
"Hands down the Best animated to Live - Action Disney Movie released to date"
Now at first when my teen CJ said this to me, I raised an eyebrow knowing how much he and Tristan truly enjoyed Mary Poppins Returns but then he clarified that he meant for those that were originally fully animated like Cinderella and The Jungle Book.
Overall it was wonderfully made and we left the theater beatboxing to the songs and searching for the soundtrack on our walk to the subway. Take a look at our family review video on Youtube (we let you know what didn't really work for us) and let us know why you loved the movie too!
(1) lucky winner will receive an Aladdin themed prize bundle ( valued at $89.96) including 1 of each thanks to Jakks Pacific who is sponsoring this giveaway and our holiday toy drive!

Q: Is it right/possible to tag someone in comment while asking question While asking any question, if I know some one knows the answer from the community, is it right to tag him in comment to get attention and increase probability of getting right answer quickly.
It might flood that user with lots of notification, but it seems to be a better way to get attention from someone appropriate quickly. Is it right/possible?
As I know there is bounty option available for getting attention on question, but that can be used after 2 days, so this might be a better option.

A: I don't think it's possible to notify a user in a question. Also, No, it is not ok to try to get a specific user's attention to answer your question, even if they have already engaged with you in the comments to your question.
That sort of thing demonstrates an extreme lack of respect for someone else's time. If someone wants to answer your question, then they will, there is no need to spam and bother them with unsolicited, unwanted, and annoying messages begging them to answer your question.

Daoism as a Communal Religion
Prof. Terry Kleeman
Religious Studies & Asian Languages & Civilization University of Colorado, Boulder
Tuesday May 30, 2017 @ 5:00-6:30 pm
Daoists are often envisioned as solitary hermits practicing non-action, or arcane alchemists manipulating elixirs. But for the first few centuries of its existence, members of the organized religion of Daoism lived in communities of fellow believers, governed by strict sets of precepts and avoiding the company of the profane. Bound together by esoteric sexual rites and sharing periodic vegetarian feasts supplied through their annual tithe of five pecks of rice, these Daoists joined together in an egalitarian society, awaiting an imminent apocalypse that would welcome in a utopian age of Great Peace.
Terry Kleeman received his Ph.D. at UC Berkeley. His primary research focus is on Daoism and Chinese popular religion, especially the first centuries of the Daoist religion (ca. 142-618 CE) and the rise of national deity cults in China's 12th-17th centuries. Other topics of interest are sacrifice, ritual, religious revelation, ecstatic religion, and new religious movements of East Asia. Major publications: A God's Own Tale (SUNY Press, 1994), Great Perfection: Religion and Ethnicity in a Chinese Millennial Kingdom (Hawaii, 1998), and Celestial Masters: History and Ritual in Early Daoist Communities (Harvard East Asia Center, 2016).

Interview for New York World, Given June 26, 1896.
Question. Do you really wish to permanently alienate from the Democratic party New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Delaware and Maryland?
Answer. After New Jersey, Delaware and Connecticut have been practically abandoned by the Democrats, and after New York has gone Republican by a hundred thousand, and even bourbon Maryland by upwards of thirty thousand, there is something sarcastic in the above question.
Q. What States hitherto not Democratic do you believe can be carried on the sixteen to one platform, to replace the certain loss of the sixty-two electoral votes in the Eastern States mentioned?
A. First, there is not a single Democratic electoral vote in sight in the Eastern States on a gold platform. Second, on a platform providing for the free and unlimited coinage of both gold and silver at the old ratio, we will carry all the States west of the Mississippi River, we will carry all of the Southern States — this alone would elect the President, but in addition we will carry several of what are called the great Middle States, and we will stand a better show of carrying New York and the Eastern States than we would on a gold platform, for the reason that we can offer them something to hope and something to
fight for, while under a gold platform you can offer neither, for it means the ultimate destruction of republican institutions in this country, and it means the absolute annihilation of the Democratic party.
Q. Do you really think the United States able, if free coinage is adopted, to maintain our currency at par with gold, unaided by other nations.
A. There is no question about it. The internal business of the United States under normal conditions is greater than that of all Europe for while some European countries have large populations, they are so impoverished that they do but little business. The State of Illinois alone has almost as much railroad mileage and property as all Europe put together. Every one of the great European statesmen who has discussed this question has admitted that if the European countries would stand together in the use of silver, they could very easily go it alone. The United States being, from an internal business standpoint greater than all Europe, can easily go it alone. But we do not have to go it alone. France and the Latin Union have not demonetized silver, they only stopped coining. They are feeling the destructive effect of the present policy and would be glad to join us in opening their mints, and there is already a powerful movement in Germany in favor of re-establishing silver in that country.
Q. Would not the adoption of free coinage make all our silver and paper money worth only sixty cents on the dollar in gold?
A. That question is of American parentage. No European writer on finance ever asked such a question. According to Mulhall's statistics, which is the standard English authority, there is less available silver in the world now than there has been for a very long period. At present silver has to be sold as bullion, and can be used only in the arts. Now, if it is restored to its full functions as a money metal and placed in the same position that it held before, then instead of selling his silver to be used in the arts, the holder of silver would take it to the mint and exchange it for silver dollars or for silver certificates. With these he could pay taxes, he could pay import duties, he could pay interest on debts, he could pay debts themselves, he could buy property — in short, he could do just the same things with them that he could with so many gold dollars. This being so, it is apparent that silver would again be at par with gold, just as it was for the two hundred years prior to 1873. From 1792, when the financial system was founded in this country, to 1852, when the great gold discoveries were made, being a period of sixty years, there was just about on an average two dollars' worth of silver produced in the world to one of gold, rating both at coinage value. During all that time, however, the silver
dollar was at par with gold, sometimes on account of cost of exchange, being at a premium. From 1852 to 1873 there was two and a half times as much gold produced as there was silver, rating them at coinage value, yet both metals circulated at par as before. From 1873 down to the present time there has been just about as much gold produced on the average as there has silver, but during the former periods silver was a part of the redemption money of the land, while during the last period it was not. During the last period it was only a commodity, and the moment it became only a commodity, and the work which formerly was done by it had to be done by gold alone, and as Mr. Goschen, the great London banker and financier, has on several occasions pointed out, when you double the work which gold has to do you double its importance, you doulble the demand for it, and you double its purchasing power, so that it will buy twice as much property on the average as it formerly did. This is exactly what has happened throughout Europe and in this country. Now, the restoration of silver will reduce the work which gold now has to do by one-half, it will reduce its importance, and it will reduce its purchasing power correspondingly. Silver has not fallen in value as compared with commodities or property. A pound of silver buys as much property as it ever did. It is gold which has gone up. Just take the heavy load off of gold, put half of the world's work again onto silver, so that each metal can be used for exactly the same purposes, and they will be at par.
Q. Would there not be a shrinkage in the value of the volume of money now in use, and would not that produce a panic?
A. A moment's reflection shows that it will not. Instead of a shrinkage in the value of silver, it will increase in value, as I have already shown. The holders of silver would not let it lie idle. They would first convert it either into silver dollars or silver certificates and then they would buy lands, build houses, build factories, built shops, build railroads, start business enterprises of all kinds and create an activity such as we have not seen in this country. Money then would be in demand for new enterprises. Instead of being used only by bond sharks and pawnbrokers, it would be used by the enterprising business men of this country in every line of activity, and we would immediately enter upon the greatest period of prosperity that our people ever saw.
Q. Do you think the international co-operation for free coinage is worth striving for?
A. Not as long as the English money lenders can keep us in dependent, subservient and tribute paying situation by the present
system, nor can we get it as long as the English government can make enormous profits out of the Indian coinage system, which it derives by keeping silver in the position of a commodity. The English government has taken from the Princes of India the power to coin money. Silver is used there exclusively, and the rupee which has been in use there for a very long period of time is the legal tender for all debts and for all purposes. It is a legal tender there for nearly forty per cent. more than it costs the English government to buy the silver in the English market as bullion, so that by keeping silver in the position of a commodity and a position in which she can use the gold of other nations to buy silver cheap she can, by coining rupees and using these rupees for debt paying and other purposes in India, make a profit of about forty per cent. on her outlay. Of course, she will not give up this advantage, but if we re-establish bimetallism here and silver is taken out of the market as bullion and is used for debt paying and other purposes in this mighty republic, then silver, as I have already stated, will go to par, England would derive no more profit by buying silver as she now does, nor would her money lending classes any longer have the tremendous advantage over our people in this country which they now have. When these conditions have been brought about England will be ready to join a bimetallic agreement, but not until then. In other words, bimetallism must be established in spite of England, and not by her assistance.
Q. Do you think if the United States adopted the currency basis of Mexico and China it would make international bimetallism possible within a generation to come?
A. That question was framed by gold standard men without having taken the pains to ascertain the conditions in the countries named. For purposes of comparison you must take those countries in the condition in which they were prior to the time that silver was demonetized by our country in 1873 and compare their condition at that time with their condition as it is to-day. When this is done you will find that since 1873 those countries, and especially Mexico, have prospered as they never did before in their history. In August, 1895, Senor Romero, the Mexican minister at Washington, published an article in the "North American Review" upon the silver question so far as it affected Mexico, in which he demonstrated that that country was enjoying a prosperity now such as it never enjoyed before, was developing in manufacturing industries, in railroads, in agriculture, in building of cities, as it never had before, and that this was largely due to the fact that Mexico had not attempted to get onto a single standard gold basis. Both Mexico and China compare very
much more favorably with the United States to-day than they did prior to 1873. The nations of Europe and this country have in late years been drifting toward the conditions that existed in China and Mexico, that is, we have been going down, and the cause which kept China and Mexico so far in the background was the same cause which has destroyed the prosperity of Europe and of this country. That is a constantly increasing population with a constantly contracting and decreasing circulating medium. In other words, an utterly inadequate volume of money to permit of progress and development. For example, the money in circulation in China amounts to only $2.08 per capita, and in Mexico it amounts to only $4.95 per capita of population, while the money in circulation in France amounts to $3577 per capita. The statistics show that the amount of annual production of gold which can be permanently used for money purposes is scarcely more than sufficient to replace that which is lost by abrasion and in other ways. The population of the world is constantly increasing at a very rapid rate. Unless there is a yearly increase in the volume of money in the world equal to the increase in population and to the increased area over which business must be done in the new countries, this process of contraction must go steadily on, and if it is continued long enough we will finally reach the point that the Chinese are at now, where we will have only two or three dollars of money in circulation, per capita.
Q. If the necessity for the free coinage of silver is so plain an its benefits so certain, why is it that a large portion of the country, particularly the East, is not in favor of it and its statesmen of all parties are opposed to it?
A. By the word statesmen I suppose you mean public men simply. Our history shows that as a rule they are ready to lend their services to those interests which are powerful in their States or their communities. You remember that Daniel Webster was opposed to a protective tariff because Massachusetts was opposed to it. John C. Calhoun at the same time favored a protective tariff because some powerful interests in South Carolina wanted it. Some years later the manufacturing interests of Massachusetts demanded a protective tariff and Webster then became the great champion of a protective tariff. At the same time the more powerful interests in South Carolina demanded free trade, and John C. Calhoun championed free trade. Illustrations of this kind can be cited without limit.
Now, the most powerful influences in the East are what are called the money influences, they absolutely dominate and control. They own or absolutely direct all of the great newspapers, daily and weekly,
including the pictorial papers. They absolutely control every agency for the formation of public thought. They are in position to reach every big merchant, every manufacturer, every business man of every kind and character. They are in a position to control the places of trust and profit which pay high salaries in railroads, in banks, in insurance companies. They are in a position to crush almost any man when they make a determined effort to do so. You will find as you trace this influence back that it all leads to a comparatively few men, and these in many cases are the agents and representatives of the English and European money lenders. The great money lending classes of Europe have always taken the position that it is to their interest to make money dear. England is the great creditor nation of the world; we, for example, are a great debtor nation. Immediately after the war England got thousands of millions of our bonds, government bonds, State bonds, city bonds, railroad bonds, bonds of every kind and character. Most of them brought five or six per cent. interest. At that time a thousand bushels of wheat or ten horses, for example, would pay off a thousand dollar bond. One hundred bushels of wheat or one horse would pay the interest on a thousand dollar bond. These were the conditions existing at that time. Then the English bondholders sent one Ernest Seyd over here prior to 1873, who communicated with a number of our so-called statesmen. It is charged that he brought two and a half million dollars with him, and that he left it here. So thereafter a law was passed by Congress which ostensibly did nothing except revise the law governing the mints. It was a very long act and was signed by President Grant. Some time after it had been signed it was discovered that this law actually demonetized silver and reduced it practically to a commodity, stopped its coinage. Then during the several years which followed all of the European nations were induced to take the same step and to by law strike down silver. The result was that the amount of redemption money in the world was reduced by one-half. Immediately thereafter there set in a general fall in prices, or rather the purchasing power of gold went up until it bought, twice as much property of all kinds as it formerly did, and Mr. Goschen, formerly Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Mr. Robert Giffen, the statistician of the British Board of Trade, both men who favored a gold standard for England because it is a creditor nation, both showed conclusively that this rise in the purchasing power of gold was due to the fact that silver had been demonetized and the work to be done by gold has been doubled. At present it takes twice as many horses, twice as many bushels of wheat, or twice as much property of any kind or character as it formerly did
to pay any of the fixed charges. It takes twice as much work to pay the debts that we then created, as would have been required at that time to pay them. The English money lenders, acting upon the theory that to make money dear and property cheap was to their interest, have resorted to every means on earth not only to fasten this policy upon us, but to perpetuate it, and English gold, when handled by cunning and unscrupulous American agents, has thus far been invincible. About a year ago a small crowd of New York speculators made over $10,000,000 in a few weeks out of the government in a small bond transaction carried out through a secret contract with the President and the Secretary of the Treasury. These men were representatives to a great extent of English bondholders. They do not want any change of policy in this country and are determined to perpetuate the present system.
Q. Will not their influence be felt in Chicago?
A. There is no doubt about it. Their influence has long been felt, and is feared to-day, by the American people. We have for years seen a slimy trail of corruption stretch from Wall street to Albany, to Washington, to the various State capitals and city halls all over this country. We have seen it buy legislation and dictate the appointment of judges. We have seen it crush the right and establish the wrong, and always by the same methods. I am told that the platform adopted at St. Louis was telegraphed to Mr. Morgan, the agent of the Rothschilds, in order to obtain his approval of it. The St. Louis platform was framed in the interest of the English money lenders and their agents in this country. Naturally the same men who were instrumental in securing that would like to secure a similar platform at Chicago. They are determined to prevent having this money question squarely submitted to the American people. They feel they have the advantage now, and they are determined to keep it.
Q. What will be the result at Chicago?
A. The people of this country have become thoroughly arouse on this question. They have noticed the peculiar tactics that have been adopted in some States to prevent an expression of sentiment upon this question. They are determined to have square dealing this time and no more efforts at hoodwinking or side-tracking, and at present I don't believe that there is gold enough in all Wall street to corrupt that convention which will meet in Chicago July 7th.

Today's markets, cookbooks and restaurant selections offer many vegetarian dishes created with flavorful food combinations. Whether you choose a vegetarian eating style or not, these dishes can add variety and taste experiences to smart eating.
A plant-based diet is nothing new. The term vegetarian was not coined until the late 1800s, though the concept dates back at least to the 6th century B.C., when the Greek philosopher, Pythagoras, encouraged meatless eating. Many centuries later in the Western world, meatless eating was church-related. Harvey Kellogg, a vegetarian, not only developed breakfast cereals; he also invented nuttose, the first meat analog made from peanuts and flour — the first peanut butter.
Vegetarian eating styles differ, as do the reasons why people choose to become vegetarians. With today's focus on fitness, many cite health reasons. Others express concerns about the environment; compassion for animals; or religious reasons. Others simply prefer the flavors and food mixtures of vegetarian dishes, and many recognize a plant-based diet often costs less.
Studies show a positive link between vegetarian eating and health. In general, the evidence of some health-related problems — heart disease, high blood pressure, type-2 diabetes and some forms of cancer — tends to be lower among vegetarians.
- Lacto-ovo vegetarian: Choose an eating approach with eggs and dairy products but no meats, poultry and fish.
- Lacto vegetarian: Avoid meat, poultry and fish and eggs but eat dairy products.
-Vegan: Choose no meat, poultry, fish, eggs or dairy.
- Semi vegetarian: Usually follow a vegetarian eating pattern, but occasionally eats meat, poultry or fish.
Can vegetarian eating supply your body with sufficient nutrients? Yes. As with any eating style, you need to choose foods carefully and consume the right amount of overall calories to support a healthy weight.
Healthy eating guidelines still apply: Go easy on the saturated fat, transaturated fat, cholesterol and total fat. Added sugars and added salt should be minimal along with aiming for whole grains, adequate fruits and vegetables. For vegetarians who eat dairy products and perhaps eggs, nutrition issues are not much different from those of nonvegetarians: For vegans, the nutrition issues differ somewhat. Without any foods from animal origin, getting enough calories to maintain a healthy weight can be a challenge, especially for growing children and teens. Nutrients that may come up short need special attention: vitamin B12, vitamin D, calcium, iron and zinc. Nevertheless, planned wisely, a vegan diet can provide enough nutrients for overall good health.
Mexican-type recipes and replace with kidney, black or pink beans. Not only will these suggestions potentially cost less, they will be much healthier and they will be tasty as well.

Religious Education for children and teenagers attending public schools will begin on Sunday, September 16, at 11:00 a.m. for both our elementary children and high school age teenagers.
Please click here for the 2018-19 High School Religion Education Class Schedule on Sunday mornings.
Please click here for the 2018-19 Elementary School Religion Education Class Schedule on Sunday mornings.
1. Children must participate in the weekly Eucharist (Mass) to be eligible to attend religious education. The opportunity and obligation to "keep the Lord's day holy" by participating in the Eucharist is an essential part of being Catholic.
2. Religious education classes will begin at 11:00 A.M. and conclude at 11:50 A.M. For the safety of your children, the doors to the Formation Center will be locked from 11:05 A.M. until dismissal. The children will still be able to exit by using the crash bars; but, people will not be able to enter the building without using the doorbell.
3. At dismissal time, parents are asked to wait for their children outside the building so as to reduce hallway congestion. Pre-school thru 2nd grade children will exit through the porch door. Grades 3-5 will exit by way of the side door located at the bottom of the steps. Grades 6-8 will exit the 6th avenue doors. If an older sibling is picking up your child, please ask them to wait at the appropriate doors, so teachers are able to keep track of their class. Students who are not picked up will wait in the main office rather than outside, as a safety precaution.
4. Please park in the lot or at the curb when you pick-up your children. Do not stop in the traffic lane. Be sure to cross the street at the cross-walk or at the corner of the block.
5. To help defray the cost of our religious education program, please donate $10.00 per family in your regular church envelope as a one-time annual fee.
Holy Trinity Catholic Schools Uniform exchange pro-gram must relocate and is seeking the donation of space. The space needs to be large enough to store racks and tables full of clothing and accessible for uniform ex-changes and restocking. The uniform exchange allows parents of children attending the Holy Trinity Catholic Schools to trade uniforms for larger sizes for no charge. For the past 20 years the exchange has been operating from St. Mary's Parish in Altoona. If you have such a space, please contact LuAnn Hallinan at 944-6143. Thank you.

Q: custom wcf binding set dynamically from code I am developing a workflow custom action that uses a wcf webservice.
The thing is, I have no proper way to attach the app.config file so I'd have to generate the bindings and the client endpoints manually from code.
Here's what I'm talking about:
    <system.serviceModel>
    <bindings>
        <wsHttpBinding>
            <binding name="WSHttpBinding_IService1" closeTimeout="00:01:00"
                openTimeout="00:01:00" receiveTimeout="00:10:00" sendTimeout="00:01:00"
                bypassProxyOnLocal="false" transactionFlow="false" hostNameComparisonMode="StrongWildcard"
                maxBufferPoolSize="524288" maxReceivedMessageSize="65536"
                messageEncoding="Text" textEncoding="utf-8" useDefaultWebProxy="true"
                allowCookies="false">
                <readerQuotas maxDepth="32" maxStringContentLength="8192" maxArrayLength="16384"
                    maxBytesPerRead="4096" maxNameTableCharCount="16384" />
                <reliableSession ordered="true" inactivityTimeout="00:10:00"
                    enabled="false" />
                <security mode="Message">
                    <transport clientCredentialType="Windows" proxyCredentialType="None"
                        realm="" />
                    <message clientCredentialType="Windows" negotiateServiceCredential="true"
                        algorithmSuite="Default" />
                </security>
            </binding>
        </wsHttpBinding>
    </bindings>
    <client>
        <endpoint address="http://localhost:55693/Service1.svc" binding="wsHttpBinding"
            bindingConfiguration="WSHttpBinding_IService1" contract="ServiceReference1.IService1"
            name="WSHttpBinding_IService1">
            <identity>
                <dns value="localhost" />
            </identity>
        </endpoint>
    </client>
</system.serviceModel>

How to do that? Would anyone give me any hints?

A: Though not an exact answer but you can get a head on your approach by the following example available on MSDN , using the WSHTTPBinding programatecally.
              public sealed class CustomBindingCreator
              {

        public static void snippetSecurity()
        {
            WSHttpBinding wsHttpBinding = new WSHttpBinding();
            WSHttpSecurity whSecurity = wsHttpBinding.Security;
        }

        public static void snippetCreateBindingElements()
        {
            WSHttpBinding wsHttpBinding = new WSHttpBinding();
            BindingElementCollection beCollection = wsHttpBinding.CreateBindingElements();
        }

        private void snippetCreateMessageSecurity()
        {
            WSHttpBinding wsHttpBinding = new WSHttpBinding();
            // SecurityBindingElement sbe = wsHttpBinding
        }

        public static void snippetGetTransport()
        {
            WSHttpBinding wsHttpBinding = new WSHttpBinding();
            //      TransportBindingElement tbElement = wsHttpBinding.GetTransport();
        }

        public static void snippetAllowCookies()
        {
            WSHttpBinding wsHttpBinding = new WSHttpBinding();
            wsHttpBinding.AllowCookies = true;
        }

        public static Binding GetBinding()
        {
            // securityMode is Message
            // reliableSessionEnabled is true
            WSHttpBinding binding = new WSHttpBinding(SecurityMode.Message, true);
            binding.Security.Message.ClientCredentialType = MessageCredentialType.Windows;

            WSHttpSecurity security = binding.Security;
            return binding;

        }

        public static Binding GetBinding2()
        {

            // The security mode is set to Message.
            WSHttpBinding binding = new WSHttpBinding(SecurityMode.Message);
            binding.Security.Message.ClientCredentialType = MessageCredentialType.Windows;
            return binding;

        }

        // This method creates a WSFederationHttpBinding.
        public static WSFederationHttpBinding CreateWSFederationHttpBinding()
        {
            // Create an instance of the WSFederationHttpBinding
            WSFederationHttpBinding b = new WSFederationHttpBinding();

            // Set the security mode to Message
            b.Security.Mode = WSFederationHttpSecurityMode.Message;

            // Set the Algorithm Suite to Basic256Rsa15
            b.Security.Message.AlgorithmSuite = SecurityAlgorithmSuite.Basic256Rsa15;

            // Set NegotiateServiceCredential to true
            b.Security.Message.NegotiateServiceCredential = true;

            // Set IssuedKeyType to Symmetric
            b.Security.Message.IssuedKeyType = SecurityKeyType.SymmetricKey;

            // Set IssuedTokenType to SAML 1.1
            b.Security.Message.IssuedTokenType = "http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/oasis-wss-saml-token-profile-1.1#samlv1.1";

            // Extract the STS certificate from the certificate store
            X509Store store = new X509Store(StoreName.TrustedPeople, StoreLocation.CurrentUser);
            store.Open(OpenFlags.ReadOnly);
            X509Certificate2Collection certs = store.Certificates.Find(X509FindType.FindByThumbprint, "cd 54 88 85 0d 63 db ac 92 59 05 af ce b8 b1 de c3 67 9e 3f", false);
            store.Close();

            // Create an EndpointIdentity from the STS certificate
            EndpointIdentity identity = EndpointIdentity.CreateX509CertificateIdentity(certs[0]);

            // Set the IssuerAddress using the address of the STS and the previously created EndpointIdentity
            b.Security.Message.IssuerAddress = new EndpointAddress(new Uri("http://localhost:8000/sts/x509"), identity);

            // Set the IssuerBinding to a WSHttpBinding loaded from config
            b.Security.Message.IssuerBinding = new WSHttpBinding("Issuer");

            // Set the IssuerMetadataAddress using the metadata address of the STS and the previously created EndpointIdentity
            b.Security.Message.IssuerMetadataAddress = new EndpointAddress(new Uri("http://localhost:8001/sts/mex"), identity);

            // Create a ClaimTypeRequirement
            ClaimTypeRequirement ctr = new ClaimTypeRequirement("http://example.org/claim/c1", false);

            // Add the ClaimTypeRequirement to ClaimTypeRequirements
            b.Security.Message.ClaimTypeRequirements.Add(ctr);

            // Return the created binding
            return b;
        }

    }

Hope this helps.

Schistosomiasis remains an important, neglected disease with more than 200 million people infected resulting in 200,000 deaths annually and untold chronic illness and disability. Only a single drug, praziquantel, is used for schistosomiasis treatment and no second-line drugs are available. Reliance on a single drug to treat hundreds of millions of people also raises concerns about the evolution of drug resistant schistosomes. Our long-term objective is to develop novel approaches for the treatment of schistosomiasis utilizing novel therapeutic targets. Recent studies by Pierce et al. have identified histone deacetylase 8 (smHDAC8) in Schistosoma mansoni parasites as a promising target for development of novel therapeutic approaches to treat schistosomiasis. In S. mansoni, smHDAC8 is highly expressed during all life cycle stages and it has been shown to be an essential and druggable protein. Several synthetic smHDAC8 inhibitors were recently reported by the Pierce team. Although they were found active in vitro against smHDAC8 and a few were also active against ex vivo worms, these compounds were only modestly selective and in some cases not selective against class I and II human HDAC isoforms. The latter presents a serious problem because these HDAC isoforms are involved in the regulation of a large variety of human enzymes and their inhibition will result in unwanted toxicity. Clearly, novel, selective and safe smHDAC8 inhibitors are needed as both pharmacological tools and as therapeutics for the treatment of schistosomiasis, a critical barrier in the field. Recently, we developed a series of novel and highly potent and selective HDAC8 inhibitors with C1-substituted tetrahydroisoquinoline (TIQ) chemotype. We hypothesize that we will be able to design potent, selective, and safe inhibitors of smHDAC8 with schistosomicidal activity using compounds with TIQ-based chemotype, our short-term goal of this R21 application. To achieve this goal, our aims are as follow:
Aim 1 : Identify novel inhibitors of smHDAC8 using iterative rounds of computer-aided molecular design, medicinal chemistry, and X-ray crystallographic structural studies. Evaluate potency and selectivity for smHDAC8 vs human isoforms and establish important preliminary drug metabolism and pharmacokinetic properties.
Aim 2 : Evaluate best candidates from Aim 1 for schistosomicidal activity against larval, juvenile, and adult S. mansoni worms ex vivo and toxicity against human cells in vitro. To accomplish these aims, an innovative collaboration of global experts with expertise in schistosome biochemistry and drug discovery, computer-aided molecular design, medicinal chemistry, structural biology, and drug development has been assembled. The varied and synergistic expertise of the team will facilitate overcoming critical barriers to drug development. Completion of the project will result in novel inhibitors with: high selectivity for smHDAC8 over human HDAC enzymes, druglike solubility and metabolic stability profiles in vitro, and in vitro activity against S. mansoni worms. Although additional studies will be needed to further optimize potency of these compounds in vitro and in animal models of the disease, evaluate the potential of these compounds for the treatment of S. haematobium and S. japonicum, and optimize bioavailability and safety, the proposed studies are the essential first step.
Schistosomiasis remains an important, neglected disease with more than 200 million people infected resulting in 200,000 deaths annually and untold chronic illness and disability. Only a single drug, praziquantel (PZQ), is used for schistosomiasis treatment and no second-line drugs are available. Reliance on a single drug to treat hundreds of millions of people also raises concerns about the evolution of drug resistant schistosomes, parasitic worms causing schistosomiasis. We will develop unique inhibitors of a novel target in these parasitic organisms, histone deacetylase 8, as potential treatment for schistosomiasis.

Dick Palmer: Who's on first? That's a taxing question

With all the hubbub surfacing now that the Democrats and Republicans in Congress have agreed that a tax refund is in order, one has to wonder if this agreement will get our player standing on first base all the way home in time to help our stalling economy?
This is a silly game of the alleged good boys vs. the bad guys, each vying for a place of power.
The game could well be called for darkness, which is generally the case in Washington when issues of serious importance have too many strings attached to solve the problem.
Republican President Bush is out stomping daily in an attempt to get the public behind him in an effort to sell his $1.6 trillion tax cut over a 10-year period. The Senate has 50 Republicans and 50 Democrats, and members of each of these caucuses are not in lock step with their party leaders. That may be a good sign, because neither political party is in a position to ram legislation down the throats of the American people.
One thing appears certain, however. The American people want a tax concession, and they want it right now. Because of this broad-based consensus, the Democrats have now offered a one-time $300 check to taxpayers stating that such a move will immediately stimulate a faltering economy. It's a shortsighted view to gear up for the 2002 fall campaigns.
It is not a plan that will hold the Congress to long-range goals and objectives. This effort will merely drop a few dollars on the table short term, and when that money is gone, taxing issues will continue to plague average citizens, who generally want some long-term control over the taxes they pay.
What we're saying here is that the Bush plan needs to be pursued, and if the Democrats want a short-term solution, they need 51 votes in the Senate and 218 votes in the House and then must have the ability to override a presidential veto. So the message here reflects on the politics of all this. Bush says the Democratic $300 plan could be put into the total package, but the Democrats want no part of that. It would mean cooperation instead of confrontation. So we have a better idea to consider.
One of the main reasons the government has so much excess money in the bank is obvious: It has overtaxed its citizens. One such method of extracting more money from the taxpayers occurred a few years ago when the government refused to allow an income tax deduction on sales taxes paid for consumer goods.
In Minnesota, the sales tax is 6.5 percent. Add another 1 percent for purchases in Duluth, and we are talking about a lot of money that becomes a tax on a tax. By allowing sales taxes to be deducted from earned income, the consumers would get a boost in income. Lower income people would benefit the most from this.
The current squabble in Congress is just that, a squabble for power, not redemption for the average citizen. Who's on first, the people or the politicians?

Graphene is a two-dimensional allotrope of carbon with great physical properties and possible game-changer applications. In order to understand and do research about the science behind graphene and its applications we both do experiments regarding its electronic and atomic properties and also it's characteristics as a device. For this purpose, we have build an electrical characterization setup in our lab in order to understand the nature and behavior of graphene devices, especially as transistors, which can be a future replacement for semiconductors in electronics [1]. This setup is still under construction, and yet,using only the developed part of it so far, we are able to measure I-V characteristics of a two-terminal device. When the setup fully finished we will be able to measure the current and voltage of a four-terminal device at every terminal separately. The most challenging part of the setup was the current sensing. Despite it can be done with ready-to-use hardware with ease, we used circuit that was made by us. In order to build the setup, we used both commercial, high-end devices and home made circuits and hardware. Control software was written with LabVIEW.

At the moment we are not only characterizing graphene devices with its electrical properties but also its optical properties. Graphene's optical properties are also peculiar as its electrical propertie [2]. Our setup currently consists of a monochromatic light source falling on the sample with a computer controlled monochromator and photon detection with data acquisition.

"On the festival [of Sukkoth] there is judgment over water...Why did the Torah say to pour water on the festival [of Sukkoth]? The Holy One said, pour before me water on the holiday [of Sukkoth] in order that the rain of the year will be blessed" (Babylonian Talmud, Rosh Hashana 16a). Why do the water sacrifices on Sukkoth cause the rain of the entire year to be blessed? The Japanese Dr. Masaru Emoto found that water responds to music, words and prayer. Water crystals are formed in correlation with the energy and consciousness transmitted to the water (http://www.life-enthusiast.com/twilight/research_emoto.htm). Perhaps this explains how the utter exhilaration during the water libations of Simchat Beith Hashoevah would effect the flow of water for the entire year.
