Budget committee reaches deal, prepares to release final budget for House and Senate vote
By Jordan Rudner	 Posted on May 22, 2015 at 12:03 pm
After months of negotiation, the joint House and Senate Budget Conference Committee on Thursday evening solidified its final version of the state budget for the next two years. Although the final size of the budget has yet to be publicly released, it is expected to be around $210 billion, according to The Texas Tribune.
The 10-member committee, composed of eight Republicans and two Democrats, hashed out the budget's final details over the course of several days this week.
According to reports, the conference committee's budget will not include a $3 million transfer from HIV and STD prevention programs into abstinence education, which had been a contentious component of the House budget.
The budget also includes the Senate's proposed figure for public education, $1.5 billion, instead of the $2.2 billion the House proposed. Details about the budget's higher education funding, which is distributed through a series of research funds and other targeted programs, are still to come.
Once the full bill is released, it will go to the House and Senate for a vote before heading to Gov. Greg Abbott's desk.

Closing The Texas Tribune Festival on Sunday morning, Gov. Rick Perry reviewed his 14-year tenure as the state's executive at the AT&T Executive Education and Conference Center, discussing health care, education and the Texas economy.
In an interview with Evan Smith, Texas Tribune CEO and editor-in-chief, Perry repeatedly refused to answer any questions about his Travis County grand jury indictment. When Smith jokingly threatened to stop asking questions and sit in silence, Perry said he was fine with that.
"It'll be a long hour," Perry said. "I had a date like that one time."
Public education has been adequately funded by the state legislature, according to Perry.
"I don't judge progress by how many dollars we spend," Perry said. "I think it's simplistic to say you're not spending enough money. I suggest the result is hard to argue when you look at the number of kids going to college today and when they got a job out of school."
Perry also said he still supports providing in-state tuition for undocumented students, and it should be no issue for the Texas Legislature to aid students in earning a higher education degree.
"I think it's important for young people to move up, get that certificate or diploma," Perry said.
Perry defended his stance against the Affordable Care Act.
"I've asked Washington multiple times for more flexibility to deal with the issue of health care and how we could receive the money from D.C. and restructure these programs so more people could have access," Perry said. "In 2009, President Obama said Medicaid was broken, and I agree with him. So why would we want to expand a broken system?"
The Veterans Affairs hospitals around the country exemplify the future of government-run health care, according to Perry.
"The VA is a debacle," Perry said. "I think one of the ways you fix health care is [to] get Washington out of the regulatory side of it and to allow the state to run it. Just like expansion of federally funded health clinics. Making access to health care is the real challenge here, not government-forced insurance."
Although he is largely satisfied with his 14-year run as governor, Perry said he regrets his handling of his 2007 vaccine mandate for HPV.
"I would have done it differently," Perry said. "I would have engaged the public more. I thought the public understood this from the standpoint of a cancer. The execution was wrong. I was thinking out my heart instead of my head, and I want to make the people of Texas be more engaged. We're not executive order types."
Citing his run in the 2012 presidential election, Perry said he has not yet decided about another presidential run.
"I went through a very humbling and frustrating process in 2011 and 2012," Perry said. "I was not prepared. It was obvious. I may or may not run for presidency, but, in order to give myself that option, you have do the work that is required."
Perry reiterated his support for UT System Regent Wallace Hall and said the legislature should allow the Board of Regents to conduct its business unimpeded. He also defended his signing of House Bill 2.
Displaying a chart showing job growth in Texas, Perry also spoke about how the Texas Enterprise Fund — an incentive program that encourages businesses to come to Texas — has aided economic growth for the past decade.
"We became very good at economic development," Perry said. "It took a while — [when] Boeing deciding in 2001 to move their corporate headquarters they chose Chicago instead of Dallas, they didn't think the cultural arts were as expansive in Dallas as in Chicago."
Since then, Perry said, cultural arts have exploded in the state's major cities. Perry said, although the program has benefited Texas, it is up to the legislature to discuss the lifespan of the incentive bill and see whether it should continue.
"I think if they want to change them, if they want to unilaterally get out of the economic development business, that's their call," Perry said. "But, I would suggest over the last decade, we have been successful in large projects and small projects."
Undeclared sophomore Lauren Hodges said she appreciated Perry's performance.
"There were parts where he was being humble, and he's not known for being humble," Hodges said. "But when he dodged the whole hypocrisy question, I thought that was kind of pathetic."
Smith said he thought Perry interviewed especially well Sunday.
"I've interviewed him many times over the past years, and I thought this was the most relaxed I've seen him," Smith said after the interview. "We've had some contentious interviews over the years. I would have liked to talk more about the indictments, but I understand he was constrained by the legal process."

Less than 24 hours after her gubernatorial debate with Attorney General Greg Abbott, state Sen. Wendy Davis, D-Fort Worth, spoke with Evan Smith, The Texas Tribune CEO and editor-in-chief, at The Texas Tribune Festival on Saturday.
"I had an opportunity to show in stark contrast these two people who are asking to serve Texas as its next governor," Davis said. "I think I was able to demonstrate that I will be a governor who will fight every single day for the people of this state."
In the talk, held at the AT&T Executive Education and Conference Center, Davis expanded on her plan to provide pre-kindergarten to all eligible children in the state.
"We are the number one state of adults without a high school diploma," Davis said. "By 2040, 40 percent of our adults will not have a high school diploma."
Davis estimated that her plan would cost around $700 million on a sliding scale.
"The more important question is what does it cost if we don't invest?" Davis said. "If we don't invest in them, it will hurt our state economy in the future. This race is about the future of Texas and if we're going to make the investments needed to create a successful future."
Public relations freshman Cody Church said he saw an improvement in Davis' performance Saturday and appreciated how relaxed she sounded in contrast to Friday's debate. He also said he liked her view on pre-kindergarten.
"I really enjoy how much she's advocating for universal pre-k," Church said. "It's a great investment in kids in the future. There are so many studies that say pre-k sets kids so much farther when they enter elementary school."
Davis also talked about the importance of higher education and getting students into college. One thing hindering students from college, she said, was the hike in in-state tuition.
"Our tuitions have doubled or more than doubled in some of our universities, and, at the same time, we've seen a decline in financial aid," Davis said. "Even for the students who are receiving those grants, they aren't receiving enough to close the gap. The legislature made the decision to thin down the amount students could get. If we want to make sure we have the work force for the jobs of tomorrow, we have to invest in our kids."
Davis said she supported giving in-state tuition to undocumented students, and would veto a bill that threatened to take away that in-state tuition.
"Students should get in-state tuition who have [been] brought here on no fault of their own," Davis said. "We should be focusing our resources on the real problems of drug trafficking, human trafficking, and not thinking about people who are willing to work hard, willing to learn English. That was George W. Bush's plan, and I agree with it."
Davis also addressed the controversy of the timing of her memoir's publication. Abbott's campaign filed a request to the Texas Ethics Commission to come to a decision about her book tour and if it conflicted with her political campaign ethically.
"It was a very personal book, not a political book," Davis said. "When I agreed to write it, I agreed to write a very public book. I released the book when I completed the book. I am proud to show people how I came to be how I am, and why I am fighting for the things I am fighting for."
Davis also answered Abbott's question from Friday's debate about voting for Obama.
"I don't regret it," Davis said. "There are things our president has done I agree wholeheartedly with. There are things I disagree with too. In my area of the state, both President Obama and Greg Abbott tried to intervene and stop the merger between U.S. Airways and American Airlines. Do you understand what that would have done for the economy of the state? Neither of them showed an understanding of the economic engine that is American Airlines."
Abbott declined to speak at this year's Tribune Festival.
"It's disappointing because I really am an independent voter," Church said. "I would love to see both sides. That keeps both people on their toes."

While both the Dell Medical School and the UT-Rio Grande Valley School of Medicine will educate more physicians in Texas, a panel of doctors at The Texas Tribune Festival on Saturday, along with state Sen. Kirk Watson, D-Austin, reiterated the pressing need for more physicians throughout the state.
During the discussion, which was held in Robert A. Welch Hall, Watson said Texas is still below the national average on the number of doctors per 100,000 people.
"The national average is around 240 doctors per 100,000. In Texas it's 170, and in the Valley it's 107," Watson said. "In the area of pediatrics and psychology, we're below 60 percent of the national average."
Although the two new medical schools are scheduled to open within the next few years, Tedd Mitchell, president of the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, said graduates will still be competing for a limited amount of residency spots in Texas, a number that is not growing as quickly as medical education in the state. Mitchell said if the number of spots does not increase, graduates could be forced to look elsewhere to complete their medical training.
"It's cheap to go to medical school in Texas, which is a great thing, but the state will be in the habit of educating here and sending them to, heaven-forbid, Oklahoma, or New Mexico or Louisiana," Mitchell said. "We want them here."
The doctors on the panel also discussed the need for more primary care doctors in rural areas, positions that don't offer as many financial incentives as specialty care.
"We need to look at what is drawing people away from rural areas and what is drawing people away from primary care," said Clay Johnston, the inaugural dean of the Dell Medical School.
Brett Giroir, CEO of the Texas A&M Health Science Center, said the future of medical education would involve more of an interdisciplinary approach.
"We're entering a really new era that's not just about hard science in one field," Giroir said. "It's about the combination of multiple disciplines, all to create a sustainable, affordable, accessible health care system that provides the benefits for all across the board. Physicians don't usually understand that or get the training in that. We are all looking at different ways to train physicians for the next 100 years."
Johnston echoed Giroir's sentiments.
"Facts aren't worth as much as they used to be," Johnston added. "Human memory is very fallible, and a cell phone and Google are much less so. Learning how to find information and synthesize it, and how to use that to problem-solve with patients is another aspect of how medical education is changing."

During a panel for The Texas Tribune Festival on Saturday, President William Powers Jr. said the University is making progress toward its goal of increasing the four-year graduation rate to 70 percent by 2016.
In recent years, four-year graduation rates have been at more than 50 percent. Powers said students taking longer to graduate from the University become a resource issue.
"If somebody stays longer, there's not room for other people to come in," Powers said. "We have students who are taking 145 credit hours. That's using our resources. That's using their resources."
When students switch majors, certain courses they have previously taken no longer count in their new degree plan, Powers said, making it more difficult for them to graduate in four years.
"Degree plans are too complicated," Powers said. "They're too specified and narrowed. We've got to have a lot more flexibility in that so students can navigate that."
Panelist Brian McCall, chancellor of the Texas State University System, discussed how it is more important that students actually graduate, regardless of how long it may take them.
McCall said it is a 1960s and 1970s notion that students can attend college from the ages 18-21 while their parents pay for their education. He said this is not the case anymore.
"Today, where the average age of the student is in the mid-twenties, and, in our case in the Texas State University System, the eight institutions in our system, 73 percent of the students work, and that is almost full-time, and that is year-round," McCall said. "If they graduate in five years, six years, we celebrate it."
State Rep. Dan Branch, R-Dallas, said demographers report about 60 percent of jobs in the future are going to require some form of higher education or certificate, making it increasingly important to receive a college degree, even if it may take longer.
"We're not nearly at that level," said Branch, who is chairman of the House Higher Education Committee.
About 34 percent of the current workforce in Texas requires credentials, according to Branch.
Branch said although he believes there is not a college-completion crisis in Texas, it is becoming increasingly important for students to graduate within four years because of limited public funds.
"To me when you look at the cost of having someone stay six, seven years, as opposed to getting out early – the cost to that family, that person, the cost of debt, the cost to taxpayers, and that scholarship could have gone to someone else – to me, that's one aspect of a crisis that could be seen," Branch said.

Joe Straus, Speaker of the Texas House of Representatives, discussed controversies regarding the UT System Board of Regents and 2015 legislative session at the 2014 Texas Tribune Festival on Saturday.
Held on campus at the AT&T Executive Education and Conference Center, the discussion was moderated by Ross Ramsey, executive editor at The Texas Tribune, who posed a wide range of questions, opening with the upcoming 2015 legislative session.
"Why do you still want this job?" Ramsey said.
Straus, who is facing a challenge for the speakership from Rep. Scott Turner, R-Frisco, said he does not think his work is done.
"We have a lot of work still ahead of us," Straus said. "This is my fourth election as speaker. It will be the fourth, very different House of Representatives than the first time I was elected as speaker."
According to Straus, the relationship between Republicans and Democrats in the House is vital to the legislature's success.
"I try to help manage the House to set an example that is unlike Washington, D.C.," Straus said. "I don't worry about politics too much, as long as we get our job done."
Ramsey posed a series of questions about the current relationship between the Board of Regents and the Texas Legislature. Straus said he thinks there is a disproportionate focus on the goings on at UT.
"I'm sick of [UT] being the only campus in the state of Texas that gets this much attention," Straus said. "It's crazy. It's too much focus on UT-Austin, too much turmoil here. It all ties back, I believe, to the disfunction of the Board of Regents."
In 2013, Straus authorized the House Select Committee on Transparency in State Agency Operations to open an investigation into Regent Wallace Hall. In August, the committee censured Hall.
Also in August, the UT System hired a risk mitigation response firm to conduct an external investigation into UT's admissions process after questions where raised about whether letters of recommendations sent directly to President Powers from state legislators or other influential individuals had any impact on admissions decisions. The System previously conducted its own investigation and found no structured system of wrongdoing.
Straus said he does not have a problem writing college recommendation letters for college applicants.
"I'm happy to do it, but very clearly there's no expectation that [the student] will get in because I write a letter," Straus said. "I don't think another investigation is necessary. People write letters. Every letter I write I expect to see it on the front page of the newspaper – I'm not embarrassed about it."
Straus said he is hopeful the turmoil on the board is coming to an end.
"It think it's a manufactured issue," Straus said. "You have to have some faith and confidence in your administrators...I think it's an excellent thing that [Admiral William McRaven] is coming in and I have very high expectations for everyone. Our new governor will be making some appointments to the board. I think we're, hopefully, about to work our way through this."
Government junior Shalaka Joshi said she was intrigued by Straus' discussion of the current state of the regents.
"His thoughts on what's happening at UT and with the Board of Regents were interesting, and I agreed with him when he talked about how the process needs to be depoliticized and that the quality of the University should be the most important thing," Joshi said.

House Select Committee on Transparency
UT System Regent Wallace Hall
Published on September 4, 2014 at 10:47 pm Last update on September 4, 2014 at 11:04 pm
In a public interview with The Texas Tribune on Thursday, UT System Regent Wallace Hall said the Travis County district attorney will take his case to a grand jury to investigate him for his alleged release of confidential student information.
In a room filled with both supporters and critics, Hall said he takes student privacy seriously and denied committing any acts of wrongdoing.
"It would be nicer if they closed the file and moved on, but I'll go through the process," Hall said. "I am very comfortable with all the actions that I took with those documents."
In April, the district attorney's Public Integrity Unit opened a criminal investigation. Thursday, after the event, a district attorney spokesman confirmed the case against Hall will be brought before a grand jury in the coming weeks.
The allegations stem from Hall's personal investigations into the University, from which he brought up issues with the University's admissions process. In July 2013, after going through thousands of University documents, Hall found two emails that led to a System inquiry into legislative influence in the University's admissions. While the inquiry found no systematic wrongdoing, Chancellor Francisco Cigarroa commissioned an external investigation into admissions in July.
Hall said the primary reason he conducted his investigation and announced his findings to the Board of Regents was because of his desire for transparency in the admissions process.
"If we want the senators and House representatives to be able to get people into universities, let's just be up front about it," Hall said. "That's what I'm pushing for."
After state legislators accused him of overstepping his authority, Hall became the subject of a House Select Committee on Transparency in State Agency Operations investigation in June 2013. A year and two months later, the committee censured Hall, citing, among other actions, his alleged disclosure of personal student information to his lawyers.
"The committee today — at length — sets out its understanding that Mr. Hall's actions have crossed the line from remaining informed and engaged to violating his regental and fiduciary duties," the document states. "Not only did Mr. Hall's demands and conduct create a toxic environment on the University of Texas at Austin campus and within the System, but the manner in which that conduct was undertaken was simply not constructive taken as a whole."
Paul Hastings, one of the event attendees and a senior at Thomas Edison State College, believes Hall is innocent and started making and selling pro-Wallace Hall T-shirts with slogans like "Hook 'em Wallace" and "Keep Calm and Wallace On."
Hastings said his family is from Thailand, where people need political connections to receive basic needs, such as health care, instead of just for getting into college. Hastings said in a country like the U.S., which is supposed to stand for truth and justice, Hall should be regarded as a hero.
"Wallace Hall is being reprimanded for doing the right thing," Hastings said.
Hall also believes in his own innocence. During their discussion Thursday, he told Evan Smith, editor-in-chief of The Texas Tribune, that since the committee's decision in August, he has continued to be "unabated" in conducting his System governing duties.
"I certainly don't feel in any way diminished," Hall said. "If the transparency committee truly thought that I had violated the law, shouldn't they have brought articles of impeachment against me?"

Horns Down: Perry potentially violated criminal law
According to The Texas Tribune on Tuesday, emissaries of Gov. Rick Perry offered to restore funding to the office of embattled Travis County District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg if she resigned, even after his veto of the office's funding was carried out. This, as The Texas Observer points out, clearly strengthens the case against the governor that is currently being considered by a grand jury. Last April, Lehmberg was arrested for drunk driving. After her arrest and subsequent guilty plea that resulted in a 45-day jail sentence — an extremely harsh punishment for a first-time offender — Perry threatened to veto funding to Lehmberg's Public Integrity Unit, an agency that prosecutes public corruption cases, if Lehmberg didn't step down. Somewhat ironically, Perry is now under investigation by a grand jury for having potentially violated the criminal statute against "Bribery and Corrupt Influence." The veto itself, according to Perry's accusers, may not have violated law, but the fact that he threatened the veto very well could have. And now that reports have surfaced that Perry's people may have offered to restore funding if Lehmberg resigns, the possibility that the governor may have violated the law is even stronger. While we certainly don't condone Lehmberg's drunk driving, horns down to a situation that is looking increasingly like an abuse of official power to achieve a political end.
Horns Up: UT clinic brings attention to prisoner's rights
On Tuesday, the UT Human Rights Clinic released a report which identified high summer temperatures inside Texas prisons as a both a human rights violation and a violation of the U.S. Constitution's prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment. Currently, 79 of the state's 109 prisons lack air conditioning, and, although there have been no studies analyzing the potential cost, officials claim that retrofitting the facilities with central air would be extremely expensive — which in no way excuses our prisons' lack of this crucial utility. Prisoners' rights are far too often ignored in our discourse, so horns up to the clinic for bringing much-needed attention to this issue.
Horns Down: even more problems for juvenile justice
Another blow was dealt to the Texas Juvenile Justice Department on Wednesday when it was announced that the agency was set to get its third director in a month. As The Texas Tribune reported, Linda Brooke, the agency's current interim executive director, is leaving for a job in Fort Worth. Brooke could be replaced by David Riley, chief juvenile probation officer for Bexar County. Last month, State Sen. John Whitmire, D-Houston, blasted the agency for its inefficient spending, high re-arrest and re-incarceration rates and a failure to sufficiently segregate violent offenders from nonviolent offenders. Given those problems, the agency is as in need of a strong and consistent leader as ever, making it even more of a disappointment that it doesn't seem likely to get one anytime soon. Horns down to the revolving door of juvenile justice department directors.

Yesterday, The Texas Tribune published a revealing story about UT System Regent Wallace Hall Jr.
These days, Hall is best known on campus and at the Capitol for his apparent mission to unseat UT President William Powers Jr. Specifically, Hall proposed and received approval from the other regents on March 20 to fund an investigation of forgivable loans given from a private foundation to law school faculty, even though the Texas attorney general signed off on a previous investigation, the results of which placed no blame on Powers — who served as dean of the law school before becoming UT president — for "lack of transparency" related to the loans.
According to the Tribune story, Hall shares his own lack-of-transparency moment: When he was being vetted after the governor nominated him as a regent, he omitted mention of several lawsuits to which he had been a party, despite a requirement he do so.
"The lawsuits themselves may or may not prove embarrassing to Hall, but the failure to disclose them provides fodder to critics who think the UT regents are on a 'witch hunt' to hurt its flagship university and take out its leader," the Tribune reports.
Among those "critics" the Tribune article cites are state senators.
In December, when covering the development that Gene Powell, chairman of the UT System Board of Regents, failed to disclose his connection to a company the board had selected to build a new children's hospital — at the time the company the board selected had a pending business deal with a company Powell co-founded with his son — this editorial board said, "for a public official, the appearance of a conflict of interest often drains public trust as irrevocably as a verified one." The same observation applies to Hall's omissions from his regent application. Powell didn't view his connection to the hospital as relevant information.
Yesterday, in response to the Tribune's questions, Hall called his omissions unintentional. "I do not recall the specifics," Hall wrote in an email to the Tribune. "I have been asked by the governor's office to supplement my disclosure and will do so shortly." The brevity of Hall's explanation starkly contrasts with his aggressive pursuit of Powers' possible vulnerabilities due to the law school loans. We are disappointed and disillusioned by Hall's apparent failure to disclose information, but we also aren't surprised.
The missing Hall lawsuits is the latest development in the power struggle between the Board of Regents, the Texas Senate and the UT administration, yet not a decisive one. This development suggests two things we already suspected: First, the regents consider themselves policy-setting, appointed judges. In their view, their sole responsibility is to scrutinize administrators they are charged with overseeing. Second, they do not view themselves as public officials who should be subject to the same scrutiny as others. But that scrutiny is what the Legislature is applying, evident in one state senator's sharp comments in reaction to the disclosures about Hall's omissions.
"Clearly this was withheld. It would seem to indicate Mr. Hall felt like it was disqualifying for his nomination," Higher Education Committee Chairman Sen. Kel Seliger, R-Amarillo, told the Tribune. "Withholding that, I think, is a very, very serious thing."
The regents, the administration and the legislators in this fight are digging for dirt on one another. In our online age when the splashiest "gotcha" moment has the potential to derail a career, each side attempts to catch the other lest they be caught themselves.
After all that has happened, distrust, and possible loathing, must thrive among the politicians, the regents and the administration. As this brawl gets uglier, we expect Gov. Rick Perry and certain members of the Legislature to emerge from behind the curtain and openly enter the arena.
We don't know who will win and who will lose. But we know this fight is no longer about the long-term goals of this University, but rather about the short-term employment and power grabs of those who govern it.

UT System Regent Wallace Hall Jr. failed to disclose his involvement in at least six past lawsuits in his December 2010 application to serve as a regent, according to documents obtained by The Texas Tribune.
Hall, who has been vocal about his desire for more transparent leadership at UT, did not mention six state and federal lawsuits on his application or during the 2011 nomination process.
"I think it's another sign that we as students need to be continuously watching the actions of the regents," Senior Michael Morton, Senate of College Councils president said. "It's a little hypocritical of Hall to not disclose this information yet also be making all these data requests and be engaged in the micromanagement of the University. It's a hypocritical action and one I'm glad members of the legislature have already begun to speak out against."
Hall has made several efforts to increase UT administration's transparency in the last several months, making far-reaching requests for boxes worth of open records. At a recent hearing about the relationship between the UT School of Law and the Law School Foundation, Hall defended the board's decision to continue an external review of the foundation by saying the System continues to receive documents not included in his initial open records request.
System spokeswoman Jenny LaCoste-Caputo declined to make a statement on behalf of the Board of Regents and said all questions should be forwarded to Hall.

Monthly expenses may be lower than you think and when energy savings are calculated it is just possible that positive cash flow will be the result. Expense budgeting for HVAC systems is no longer an annual headache.


This 17th century BC Ancient Hittite Property Donation Certificate, written in Akkadian is actually more of a "gift certificate" than a "donation certificate". It states that King Tuttulla accepted Zidi as an adopted son, gave him his daughter as a wife, and donated a house as a gift.
In its modern definition, philanthropy rarely ever works. The rich, most of whom have built their extraordinary wealth through cracks and loopholes in the system, choose what human causes to pursue and support, which charities to give to, while they themselves are often responsible for human suffering. The heirs of Walmart might consider themselves "philanthropic", but wouldn't it be nicer if they simply paid their workers a fair wage. Or, why is Bill Gates so eager to push Common Core standards while he, along with Silicon Valley's most celebrated CEOs conspired to drive down the wages of their engineers. First, "do evil", and then pretend to be "philanthropic"?

Data comprise radionuclide deposition, radioactivity dose measurements, radioactive particle activity and physical characteristic information from soil samples collected within and around the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone (CEZ) following the Chernobyl nuclear accident in 1986.
Data include radiocaesium, radiostrontium and soil chemistry parameters from soils collected in 1997, plutonium isotope measurements in soil samples and soil layers collected in 2000 and 2001, 'Hot particle' dataset presenting radionuclide activity and some physical characteristics of 'hot particles' extracted from soils collected in the Ukraine and Poland between 1995 and 1997; and Ivankov region data (radionuclide activity concentrations and natural background dose measurements) from a survey of the Ivankov region, immediately to the south of the CEZ conducted in 2014.
Funding for preparing this data set was provided by the EU COMET project (http://www.radioecology-exchange.org/content/comet) and TREE (http://www.ceh.ac.uk/tree) project funded by the NERC, Environment Agency and Radioactive Waste Management Ltd. under the RATE programme.

TRansfer - Exposure - Effects (TREE). Integrating the science needed to underpin radioactivity assessments for humans and wildlife.
Gamma spectrometry measurements were performed using HPGe-detectors, of 30 % relative efficiency and 1.90 keV FWHM for 1333 keV (GEM-30185, EG&G ORTEC, USA) and a multichannel analyser (ADCAM-300, ORTEC, USA) using GammaVision32 software. The efficiency calibration was carried out for the 1 L Marinelli geometry using a spiked soil sample containing 241Am, 243Am, 152Eu, 154Eu, 137Cs, 40K. The average counting time was about 1 hour; for samples of lower activity the counting time was extended to obtain an acceptable error on the measurement (<30 % at 95th percentile confidence interval).
The activity of 90Sr was determined using a radiochemical method with treatment of the samples by boiling in 6M nitric acid for four hours.
Standard methods were used to determine organic matter content (GOST 26213-91), pHH2O (GOST 26423-85), pHKcl (GOST 26483-85), hydrolytic acidity (determined using the Kappen method (GOST 26212-91)), exchangeable Ca (GOST 26487-85), exchangeable K and P contents were determined using a method appropriate to the specific soil type (GOST 26207-91, GOST26204-91).

Doctor Who Preview
By Dave Golder 07 April 2011
Some tantalising titbits from SFX 208's exclusive Doctor Who coverage for series six
Steven Moffat on a darker Doctor: "There's some extraordinary stuff coming from Matt this year. When he goes dark – the Doctor should never be that dark, he's not a dark man – but when he goes dark it's properly tingly, properly exciting. We're certainly seeing sides of him and parts of his behaviour and some of his heart that we haven't seen in the previous year."
Steven Moffat on "The Curse Of The Black Spot": "Steve Thompson's pirate one is just a glorious, hugely clever, very funny but again properly scary adventure. I knew Steven from Sherlock and other projects, and he desperately wanted to do Doctor Who . So he brought all that wonderful giddy enthusiasm of someone who's a hugely distinguished playwright and very much the coming man in television suddenly getting to play with Doctor Who . It's just bursting with Doctor Who ness, and it's so much fun, and a wonderful contrast to our opener, which is quite intense."
Steven Moffat on Neil Gaiman's "The Doctor's Wife": "It's a killer idea. A killer idea, which he pitched to me shortly after I first met him. And if I summed it up in several words for you you'd think 'Yes, of course…'."
Steven Moffat on the second half of series six: "There's some really very clever science fictiony stuff going on in the second chunk. We probably wouldn't have done that a couple of years ago. But our audience is now so literate with that stuff that we're actually pushing it towards very clever science fiction stories of a kind that would have been inconceivable in a mainstream British TV show five years ago."
Matt Smith on possibly writing for the show: "I'd quite like to write a script one day, because I'm learning a lot from Steven. You've got to be really good to write a Doctor Who script, so it's a long way off, but one day. I've never really shown anyone things I've written. And I've got to get over that, if I want to be a writer…"
Karen Gillan on Amy in series six: "I think she's going to develop a lot. Amy's very guarded, and doesn't like to show her emotions, because she doesn't want to show her vulnerability. She has trust issues with what happened with the Doctor when she met him as a little girl. And she's kept that hidden in the last series… And I think we're going to see that guard start to crack."

Australian Independence
It's Australia Day… so, a timeline of thoughts. When did Australia achieve independance?
1901: declared ourselves a country, own constitution, etc. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federation_of_Australia
1910: Australia got it's own pound http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_pound (it was locked to the Pound Sterling by Australian policy till 1929, and replaced by the decimal dollar in 1966)
1927: dominions have equal status to the UK (ie, created the commonwealth) (1926 Imperial Conference, Balfour Declaration 1926 and Royal and Parliamentary Titles Act 1927) – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sue_v_Hill
1942: Australian laws could contradict UK laws (previously, any contradiction meant the AU law was invalid) – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statute_of_Westminster_Adoption_Act_1942
1949: the concept of "citizen of Australia" came about (but still said "british subject") – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_nationality_law
1953: legally recognising the "Australian flag" – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Australia
1984 (April): Australia gets its own National Anthem.
1984 (November): Australian citizens no longer also "british subject") (see Australian_nationality_law again)
1986: removed ability of UK to alter Australian constitution, or overrule Australian courts – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia_Act_1986
Soon afterwards, however, in Shaw (2003),[19] the whole Court (including Kirby) took a more comprehensive view: that the Australia Act in its two versions, together with the State request and consent legislation, amounted to establishing Australian independence at the date when the Australia Act (Cth) came into operation, 3 March 1986.
— http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia_Act_1986#The_Act_and_Australian_independence
The three main steps to independence were 1901 – formation and recognition of a country. 1942 – Ability to contradict UK laws. And 1986 – UK unable to override Australian courts.

Forget-Me-Not: Don, Peggy, and Remembrances of Things Past on "Mad Men"
Seriously, who else gasped aloud last night during this week's episode of Mad Men ("The New Girl")? There was not only one hell of a fantastic reveal but an even bigger and better payoff to the last season and a half of storylines involving Don Draper and one Peggy Olsen.
Throughout Mad Men's first season, Don and Peggy were beautifully set up as mirror images of one another: social climbers and dreamers who had no compunction about reinventing themselves into the image of the people they wanted to be and sweeping the detritus of their lives under the rug. Peggy has an affair with a married man, gets pregnant, and births her baby boy... before landing in a hospital after suffering what seems to be a fairly substantial break with reality. Donald Draper leaves behind his tortured farmland childhood and assumes another man's identity with as much ease as someone else might don a suit.
In last night's gorgeously scripted episode, we finally get a glimpse at what happened AFTER last season's finale, which had Peggy giving birth to the child she didn't know she was carrying. After failing to understand what had happened, Peggy is kept at St. Mary's and drugged to make her more docile. Throughout this season, it's been assumed that no one knew where Peggy had been (the boys play a game of guessing about her whereabouts, however) but one person did and even visited her there: Don Draper.
That Don would care enough about Peggy, even after promoting her off the desk, to show up at the hospital and sit at her bedside was a telling detail about his character, as was his insistence that Peggy do whatever the doctors tell her to do and get on with her life, forgetting about all of this. And sure enough, Peggy does forget about all of it, to the point where she can't even bring herself to look at her own child.
How fitting was it that Don would return the favor by turning to Peggy for help after landing in jail for drunk driving, not with his wife but with his latest mistress, Bobbi? I couldn't really think of another person whom Don could have called for help (though Roger Sterling did come to mind), but it made narrative sense that he'd reach out to the one person whom he could rely on to "forget" things like this: his protege Peggy. And, sure enough, Peggy does come to his rescue, going above and beyond to look after Bobbi, lend Don an exorbitant $150 for his bail, and tie up all the loose ends.
Whilst looking after Bobbi, Peggy is let into Bobbi's secret of success: stop trying to act like a man because you'll never be one, so be a woman instead... and start thinking of yourself as Don's equal, not his subordinate. Powerful words that, to Peggy, seem like a mantra or an incantation for a spell.
So when she goes to Don after the meeting (in which he berates her for not being ready, despite her being up all night looking after his mistress and covering up for him), I assumed that our demure little Miss Olsen would bow and scrape and scuffle away, never venturing to ask for her money back or remind Don of what they'd been through over the last 48 hours.
In a brilliant twist, Peggy not only asks for the money back from Don (after firmly shutting the door) but goes so far as to call him not "Mr. Draper" but "Don," establishing herself as his equal, shifting the balance of power in their relationship perhaps permanently. The look of shock (and something approximating horror) on Don's face was chilling. With such a simple one-word piece of dialogue, Peggy has become a strong, independent female of the species and we, as viewers, might just be seeing the emancipation of women spring forth right in front of our eyes.
Will we see Peggy be able to reap the rewards of her new-found conviction and confidence? Or will she be forced to suffer because of what she knows? Either way, I'm absolutely hooked.
Next week on Mad Men ("Maidenform"), Don and Duck try to make peace, Duck gets a visitor at the office, and Peggy tries to include herself at the executives' after-hours meetings.

Yup - her calling him Don is such a brilliant moment. It is one word, one second, and yet it speaks volumes. Fantastic.
Brent McKee said…
What's your take of the scenes with Peggy's obviously pregnant sister in the hospital flashbacks? I take that to mean that the baby we all think is Peggy's is actually the sister's and the Peggy's baby was put up for adoption.
Don showing up at Peggy's bedside and Peggy calling him by his first name were both fantastic moments. Very interesting about the sister being pregnant. Maybe she lost her baby and that's why they can pretend that Peggy's baby is actually hers? And is part of the reason she resents Peggy so much?

US prisoner of war blinked out chilling message in morse code when forced to answer questions in propaganda broadcast

After being captured as a prisoner in the Vietnam War, a US military officer sent out a bold message to the world – using only his eyes.
Jeremiah Denton was one of many prisoners of war (POW), but he remains a renowned hero for his defiance against his captors.
While being held in a North Vietnam POW camp called the Zoo, which he endured for almost eight years, Denton was forced to take part in a propaganda news segment designed to show that prison guards weren't breaking an human rights laws.
But despite telling reporters that he received 'adequate food, clothing and medical care', his eyes told a different story:
The chilling message wasn't the only act of bravery Denton demonstrated in the 1966 news segment.
As well as taking the risk of using morse code to convey the truth, he also expressed his support for the US government.
"I don't know what is happening but whatever the position of my government is, I support it," he said.
"Whatever the position of my government, I believe in it, yes, sir. I am a member of that government, and it is my job to support it, and I will as long as I live."
In case you're unfamiliar with morse code, Denton used the communication method to spell out the word 'torture'.
His statement was made despite knowing he would be tortured once the camera stopped rolling.

Denton served as a US Naval Aviator during the Vietnam War, having previously graduated from the Armed Forces Staff College and the Naval War College.
In 1965, he had been leading a twenty-eight aircraft bombing mission in North Vietnam when his A-6A Intruder jet was shot down by enemy forces near Hanoi.
Denton and his bombardier Bill Tschudy were forced to eject from their aircraft and parachute to the ground, only to then be captured and imprisoned.
This made him one of the earliest and highest-ranking officers to be taken prisoner in the northern region of the communist country.
The American soldier's defiance never wavered, despite the fact that he was kept in various POW camps for seven and a half years - four of which were spent in solitary confinement, locked in a tiny cell with no windows.
In a 1979 interview with the LA Times, Denton opened up about the torture he endured while locked behind bars.
"They beat you with fists and fan belts," he said.
"They warmed you up and threatened you with death. Then they really got serious and gave you something called the rope trick."
Hundreds of US troops were held captive as POWs. Credit: Creative Commons
He explained that the rope trick saw officers using ropes to cut off the circulation in his limbs, leaving him with no feeling in his fingertips and suffering from painful muscle spasms.
In 1973, both Denton and Tschudy were released as part of Operation Homecoming, which saw the return of 591 American POWs who had been held by North Vietnam.
The operation followed the Paris Peace Accords which ended the US's involvement in the horrific years-long conflict.
Denton went on to serve as the US Senator representing Alabama from 1981 to 1987, and passed away in 2014 aged 89.

After a decade of cartooning in various forms, I wanted to try my hand at a non-sequitur comic. I wanted the comics to be accessible, relatable, funny, inclusive, and easy to produce. I knew that I wanted these comics to be as inclusive as possible so that no one who viewed them felt left out based on gender, age, orientation, background or education. All without sacrificing quality, relying on running gags, inside jokes, self-deprecation, or fart jokes (which I find hilarious but still). From past experience, I knew that real life could take its toll on any production schedule. And that feeling pressured to be inspired, funny or creative often stifles the very output you want to create. I also knew that I was not the most talented artist, so I needed an art style that I was able to focus on without worrying about self-critic syndrome. These are those comix.
Welcome to my Ko-fi Page. I made this page because it takes a lot of caffeine to stick to a schedule and also be funny. If you enjoy my comix, please consider supporting what I do. Thanks in advance!

Tabitha was the woman of Jaffa.
The miracle is shown in a mosaic inspired by a painting by Placido Costanzi (1702-1759).
Facing the tomb is the Tabitha Altar, flanked by two columns in gray granite and consecrated in 1726. The mosaic altarpiece showing the Resurrection of the Widow Tabitha by Peter in the city of Joppe, was executed in 1760 from the original by Costanzi, now in the church of Santa Maria degli Angeli, which had replaced an earlier fresco over the altar by Baglione.
The cartoon was painted by Placido Costanzi, who received payment for it on 31 July 1740. The picture was to replace the altarpiece by Giovanni Baglione, painted in about 1604 to 1606 but in complete ruin by the mid-eighteenth century. The Costanzi cartoon was neglected for several years. In March 1756 the Congregazione della Reverenda Fabbrica finally decided to execute the mosaic, and in 1758 Costanzi was paid 450 scudi for repainting his picture. The picture is signed and dated 1757. The mosaic was executed by Giuseppe Ottaviani, Guglielmo Paleat, Bernardino Regoli, and Giovanni Freancesco Fiani from 1758 to 1760. Costanzi's picture, along with a copy of Baglione's painting, is now in S. Maria degli Angeli, Rome.

INSIDE CHINA
China's Zero COVID-19 Policy Impacts Another Chinese New Year, No Family Reunions
By Gu Xiaohua
Gu Xiaohua
and Lin Yan
Lin Yan
December 21, 2021 Updated: December 21, 2021
Since the outbreak of the CCP virus, which caused the COVID-19 pandemic, China will ring in its third Chinese New Year on Feb. 1, 2022. However, at least 31 epidemic prevention centers in China's provinces and municipalities have issued their policy: People should stay where they are for the Chinese New Year.
The Chinese New Year is the most celebrated holiday of family gatherings, but China's strict zero COVID-19 policy is challenging the tolerance level of the population.
In addition, this policy will affect 370 million Chinese migrant workers, the largest contributors to the once-in-a-year holiday travel.
Stay Where You Are
According to a Chinese local government media report, Pingxiang city, Guangxi Province, was the first to issue the notice. On Dec. 5, the local CDC requested that shop and store employees "stay where they are," send New Year's greetings via the internet, and reduce mobility.
Liu Jun (pseudonym) from Shaanxi, a landlocked province in northwest China, has worked in a chemical plant in the coastal city, Guangzhou, for the past eight months.
He said the company's regulation was relatively relaxed because of the cultural mix—it's run by both a Korean investor and a state-owned enterprise.
However, the company did require that employees from medium- and high-risk areas get their managers' approvals to travel home.
He said that one of his coworkers from northwest China has not been allowed to go home for the past couple of years due to the surge of local cases.
The 26-year-old Liu talked about his previous employer, which blocked any possibility for the workers to go home so that the company could reduce the risk of shutting down the entire production.
Last year, Liu was able to spend the new year at home because he left the job, but the family reunion still didn't happen.
Both his sister and father were restrained at their workplaces in Guangzhou, southern China.
He believed the regime was demonizing the pandemic. "Restricting people from going places is convenient and easy for the administration. A little more humanity would have cost them resources," Liu said, explaining why the regime would not take the time to make the prevention measures more people-friendly.
Wang Yi (pseudonym), a native of Hebei, northern coastal China, is a designer in Beijing. He told the Chinese edition of The Epoch Times that he spent his new year by himself in Beijing last year, but he called home on Chinese New Year's Eve.
But, he really wanted to go home to visit his 94-year-old grandmother this year. He mentioned the feeling of spending the New Year's eve alone, "It's quite sad, not to the point of crying … but people were having the reunion dinner, and I was having instant noodles by myself."

Not Staying Put for Another Year
In Zhejiang, eastern coastal China, at least 500,000 people were recently quarantined at home and another 100,000 in isolation facilities due to local outbreaks, according to Chinese state news media reports on Dec. 15.
A local resident Miao Hua (pseudonym) told The Epoch Times on Dec. 13, that since the city was locked down, "for six days, there's been no food supplies or door-to-door visits for a nucleic acid test."
According to the customary practice of the regime, local residents often encounter lockdowns on short notice; typically within a few minutes of announcement the lockdowns begin.
He said, "we wanted to go back to our hometown, but the highway was closed, so we couldn't drive back. Now the food has become a problem, it's scary."
Miao explained that the elderly are in need of medicines for high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes—there are also children—but the lockdown forbids them from going out shopping. Basic food supplies are gone, and the officials don't care about people's problems, even after addressing their issues.
Zhang Xin (pseudonym) was another local resident in Zhejiang. He had to celebrate the Chinese New Year by himself in a rental apartment last year.
He told The Epoch Times, "This year I will definitely not stay here for another new year. It's been two years since I went home. I will scramble back home if I have to."
Longing for Home
The travel ban also affected many college students who study in foreign provinces.
On Dec. 16, Xi'an city in Shaanxi Province suddenly announced the closure of a number of scenic spots, museums, shopping malls, and schools. Many college students are forced to stay for the new year on short notice.
Take a local university, Chang'an University, as an example.
Immediately following the city announcement, the university began to closely manage the dormitories on Dec. 17, and the meals are now collectively distributed.
Student Zhang Zhihui wrote on her Weibo (Chinese social media) page: "On the evening of the 14th, the campus was closed in five minutes, a shed was built in five minutes, a nucleic acid test in three hours. On the 15th, the residential area on campus was classified as medium risk."
She further stated: "The future is hopeless. It seems that what we planned will not come true. It's the second Christmas Eve, Christmas, and New Year's Eve that will be gone because of the epidemic. Now even going home for the Chinese New Year is a luxury."
Many Chinese web bloggers expressed their true feelings online via their Weibo accounts.
"Works at the Front Desk" wrote: "If the epidemic does not disappear for several years, will Chinese New Year be celebrated on the spot every year? … How long can we tolerate a life filled with isolation, nucleic acid testing, and not seeing families or spouses."
"Moon Li" said: "It's too early to say … stay where you are for the new year. … Epidemic prevention is of course important, but many people have not been able to go home for the New Year for two or three years!"
A blogger also wrote: "When you ask us to get a booster, I agreed; Do the nucleic acid test, I obeyed; But, not going home for three years, it's too much."

# Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8)
#     DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN
nameserver 127.0.1.1

If I add itself (this server's IP is 10.32.0.2) as a nameserver, it works fine. However, when reboot the file gets overwritten (just as it says), how can I change this setting permanently?

A: The strict way is to make the file immutable, executing sudo chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf
The most common suggestion is that this is edited by the DHCP client on connection. In this case, consider to change the DHCP server, so that it gives to the client your DNS server as the default one.

Popular Hindi words that are spoken globally
Mumbai, 13 January 2023 (UTN). Hindi is spoken widely and is currently becoming a popular language. Vishwa Hindi Diwas is observed every year on January 10 to promote the Hindi language across the globe. &TV artists, including Aayudh Bhanushali (Krishna, Doosri Maa), Himani Shivpuri (Katori Amma, Happu Ki Ultan Paltan), and Shubhangi Atre (Angoori Bhabi, Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai), talk about some the commonly used Hindi words across the globe.
Aayudh Bhanushali, essaying Krishna in &TV's Doosri Maa, shares, "Hindi is quite versatile and is used in many different parts of the world, not just in India. I realized this when one day, my father's business friend from the US visited us with his son, who was also my age. And it was a unique experience for me to connect with him, and I had a lot of fun teaching him a few Hindi words. Also, he was extremely excited to learn Hindi and instantly picked up some popular phrases and words such as Namaste, Dost, Masti, and Vada Pav (laughs).
He said that our Indian Vada Pav is quite popular in the US, and he enjoys eating our famous Indian street food. Following that, he began greeting everyone in Hindi with a Firangi accent. But what makes me glad is his interest and excitement to learn more about our Hindi language." Himani Shivpuri, essaying Katori Amma in &TV's Happu Ki Ultan Paltan, says, "Vishwa Hindi Diwas Ki Hardik Shubhkamanayein. Every language has a unique quality about them. The Hindi language is very versatile and beautiful.
It is undoubtedly one of my favourite languages. My father was a Sanskrit and Hindi teacher, which helped me have a thorough command of the language. Over the years, I have aced speaking the language in different forms, as every region in India has a specific Hindi dialect. Take, for example, Katori Amma's Kanpuria dialect, which is unique and fun. It has been quite popular with the masses, especially Amma's catchphrases. And what is more intriguing is that not only fans in India love the language but also people and fans living abroad. One such wonderful fan encounter was in Europe.
A foreigner came up to me, and in her unique accent, she tried saying, "Namaste Katori, Amma Ji, Hum aapko TV par dekhte hai". It was very surprising for me but quite impressive too. I was very happy to see how Hindi words are widely accepted and used in common parlance by everyone." Shubhangi Atre, essaying Angoori Bhabi in &TV's Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai, says, "Hindi is a multifaceted language, often hailed for its simplicity and spontaneity. Several Hindi words, as well as other Indian words, are now a part Oxford dictionary and used commonly.
On a trip to Indonesia, I saw many people aware of the language and its common word usage. Words such as Shukriya, Guru, Namaskar, Pyjama, Shanti, Yoga, Swagat etc., were spoken easily, and I could see how these words are a part of their lingo. It was truly amazing. Also, when I was exploring the street food of Indonesia, I came across the Indonesian term for tea, "chai," and it gave me a very homely feeling. "I am so glad that Hindi has made its way globally, and some Hindi and Sanskrit words have become very common and have increased in popularity."

CINCINNATI – The Main and Walnut street bridges over Fort Washington Way, as well as the south halves of those intersections on Third Street, remain closed until 4:00 p.m. Friday, Oct. 10, so crews can continue to prepare the area for the installation of track for the Cincinnati Streetcar.
"The contractor is modifying the street grades at these intersections to provide a smooth ride for both cars and the streetcar," said John Deatrick, project executive.
The reconstruction will be done in phases to reduce potential traffic congestion, starting this week with the south half of Main and Walnut. The north half of Walnut and Third will done Oct. 16-20. The north half of Main and Third will be done in mid November.
Third Street between Sycamore and Walnut has been reduced to two through lanes, which includes the north turn lane closest to the curb. This change in the normal traffic pattern will be in place for this week only.
Detour signs are posted to alert motorists and pedestrians. Motorists traveling south on Walnut are being detoured along Third to Race to Second. Northbound motorists are being detoured to Vine, or via the Second Street ramp to Pete Rose Way to Broadway.
In addition, Cincinnati police are stationed at Third and Sycamore, Third and Walnut, Third and Race, and Second and Race from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. daily to assist with traffic flow by manually controlling traffic signals at each of these intersections.
From 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m., police are stationed at Pete Rose Way and the Second Street ramp, Pete Rose Way and Broadway, Third and Broadway, Fourth and Broadway, Third and Sycamore, and Third and Walnut to assist with traffic flow by manually controlling traffic signals at each of these intersections. Motorists traveling from I-71 southbound are encouraged to turn right on Broadway to Fourth Street as they head into town.
The Transit Authority of Northern Kentucky (TANK) is temporarily relocating its stop on the east side of Main, just south of Fourth, to the north side of Fourth, mid-block between Sycamore and Main, in front of Wendy's. It will be in place for this week only.
The east sidewalk on Walnut and west sidewalk on Main over Fort Washington Way remain open. A flagger is assisting pedestrians crossing the west side of Third at Main 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. daily. See attached map.
After reconstruction of the intersections is complete, crews will continue to prep this U-shaped stretch of the streetcar's 3.8-mile route. Track is scheduled to be installed there beginning in mid to late November with plans to finish before the 2015 Reds Opening Day.
Meanwhile, crews continue to excavate, prep and install track on the north end of the streetcar route near Findlay Market. Track will be installed on Walnut Street between Sixth and Eighth streets through late October.
In addition, Main Street north of Central Parkway is reduced to one lane until 4:00 p.m. Friday, Oct. 10. Main Street south of Central Parkway has two lanes and one through lane during the same period. All lanes on Central Parkway remain open.
The restrictions allow crews to tie in valves on a water main as part of streetcar-related infrastructure improvements. Additional tie-ins will take place in the same area Oct. 13-17 and Oct. 20-24.
Signs will be posted to let motorists know which lanes are closed. Arrow boards also will be posted to direct motorists around the site.
Please see the attached map and schedule for major streetcar work in the Central Business District in October.


After spending an afternoon at the FIT Museum (check out the FIT museum article), I stumbled upon Showplace a few blocks away. Oh the joy of living in New York, when every street has a slew of hidden shops. In the case of this antique store, it's not simply a hidden gem; it's a treasure chest that's hiding thousands of magnificent jewels!
The showplace is three floors lined with galleries selling and auctioning antiques – everything from mesmerizing disco balls to Chinese snuff boxes to lapis lazuli jewelry cases. If you need some new digs for your house or props for a movie you're filming, this place probably has what you're looking for. The price tags are a little steep, but it's fun to wander around even if you're not planning to buy anything.
If you're into vintage lingerie, pop by Illisa's shop at gallery 206 and get ready to be overwhelmed by endless silk and lace.

The attempt on the life of Steubenville, OH Judge Joseph Bruzzese, Jr. may seem like an isolated even, but courthouses have been home to violence before. Just weeks earlier, an inmate stole a sheriff's deputy's weapon, killing the deputy and another officer before fleeing and eventually taking his own life.
Incidents like this are disconcerting to those who work in courthouses, to be sure, but it's probably most disconcerting to those who are the most likely targets of violence: The judges themselves.
It seems that Judge Bruzzese wasn't an anomaly in one other way. More and more judges are apparently arming themselves.
As violence inside and near courthouses grows, judges increasingly are choosing to carry concealed weapons, experts say.
Judge Eugene Lucci, who presides over cases in an Ohio county courthouse and sits on the board of the American Judges Association, says there's a clear concern among his colleagues in the judicial world about safety.
Lucci, who delivers talks to judges about protecting themselves, says he's seen an unmistakable interest in carrying concealed firearms.
"Based on the number of requests that I get to speak on the topic, there's definitely an uptick in interest by judges," Lucci said, adding that while judges are more of a target for violent attacks than they once were, carrying a concealed weapon is not for everyone.
First, it makes sense that judges would arm themselves. I'm frankly shocked that there are all that many who aren't already armed, especially considering what they do for a living. So many make rulings that, while legal and just, still make someone feel like their life was just destroyed. The accompanying rage can make people dangerous, so it makes sense that judges would want protection.
However, anyone can be the target of a violent attack, not just judges.
In this day and age, just having the wrong haircut can apparently get you attacked. It makes sense not just for judges to be armed, but for everyone who can handle the responsibility of carrying a firearm to do so.
As for training, Lucci's right that it's necessary. I think few of us would disagree, though depending on what he means be "refresher training," three times a year might be a bit excessive. If he's talking about range trips, then maybe. If he's talking about actual classes, well, not everyone can afford that.
Still, everyone should get some quality training and keep their skills up.
Especially if you're in an occupation where you're likely to anger people regularly, like being a judge. For any judge who believes that the police will be there to protect them, I'd like to call their attention and legal minds to Castle Rock versus Gonzales. The police may want to protect the judge, just like they want to protect every one of us, but they can only be so many places at a given time.


The Second Amendment Foundation released a statement on the Philando Castile shooting death by a police officer, where it reportedly involved a concealed carry permit user (Castile). But, they call for an independent investigation by the state of Minnesota.
This is a stunning move by the state's attorney general, Democrat Mark Herring, to eliminate reciprocity agreements with other states and their gun permits.

Q: Diagonalise a sparse (symmetric) matrix with elements only on some diagonals Is there an analytical way or a good approximation or any other mathematical method to diagonalise a sparse (symmetric) matrix with elements only onsome diagonals?
For example $$ \begin{bmatrix}
B & 0 & 0 & A & 0\\
0 & B & 0 & 0 & A\\
0 & 0 & B & 0 & 0\\
A & 0 & 0 & B & 0\\
0 & A & 0 & 0 & B \\
\end{bmatrix} $$
or similar...
(is there an index notation way of writing the above matrix? Like $A_{m,n} = \cdots$?)

A: By using $Xv_i= \lambda_i v_i$ you can derive the eigenvectors:
$(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}},0,0,\pm\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}},0)$, $(0,0,1,0,0)$, $(0, \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}},0,0,\pm\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}})$, with corresponding eigenvalues $\lambda =(B\pm A, B, B\pm A)$. Let $Q$'s columns be made up of the eigenvectors (in the given order), then: $X= Qdiag(\lambda)Q^T$, where $X$ is your initial matrix. Note that this can be trivially extended to higher dimensions for a matrix with the same structure.


Rosé (also known as rosada in Portugal and rosato in Italy) is a style of wine that incorporates some of the colour from the grape skins, but not enough to qualify it as a red wine.
Quality rosé wines are produced with the skin contact method. Black-skinned grapes are crushed and the skins allowed to remain in contact with the juice for a very short period of time at low temperatures.
The aromas and flavour of rosés are primarily influenced by the grape variety used to produce the wine, but the method of production also plays an important part. The light, fruity character of many rosés come from volatile thiols that are found as flavour precursors in the grape skins.
St Ignatius Gold Rush Rosé is brisk and dry made of 100 % Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. Displays a dusty pink colour with a hint of orange. On the nose, red cherry, strawberry and red apple lift. The palate is neutral with a chalky, mouth-watering texture underpinning light red berry fruits. Perfect for sharing with friends over a long lazy lunch.

Q: ASP.NET development - User Control use best practise In my current project, we use lots of user controls. Large user controls (500+ lines code) are breaked up to a few small user controls for easy maintenance.
My question is: most of the user controls are not reusable in other places, but this kind of user control based development complicate the communication between controls, e.g. events are everywhere.
What's your idea to use User Controls?

A: Often times I'll use an ASCX not necessarily so it can be re-used, but to isolate its functionality away from the ASPX.  This works great for a navigation menu or a pair of pull-down menus that are used to select city & state for an address form.
The key here is that I don't want my ASPX to be a mess of micro-behaviors, I want the page to represent a macro behavior.
Now, I know this is all pretty abstract, and I don't always do it this way, but that's how I tend to use the technology.

A: User Controls are reusable within an ASP.NET app. To make it reusable across apps, custom web control will be better but the pain of creating it deterred many. Some resort to duplicating codes.
Here's one article which might help:
Link

A: Personally I avoid user controls if the equivelant custom control is easy to implement.
I also avoid breaking out user controls unless they are going to be reused.
Like you said, event management and reusability across projects is a pain with user controls.

A: Use User Controls like you used to use Include files in classic web programming. User Controls are more feature rich because they are fully object-oriented; however they're not necessarily easily reusable. Beyond the server-side include ability, trash User Controls in favour of Custom Web Controls.
Or maybe I'm just a windbag. Here's Microsoft's suggestions about when to use them.

Thunder's Dakari Johnson: Makes presence felt Friday
Johnson posted 20 points (7-14 FG, 6-8 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and three steals across 25 minutes during Friday's 88-87 summer league loss to the Hornets.
Johnson, selected 48th overall out of Kentucky during the 2017 Draft, appeared in 31 games for OKC last season, though averaged only 5.2 minutes. He played a much bigger role in the G-League, where he started all 10 of his appearances and averaged 23.3 points, 10.0 rebounds (5.2 offensive), 3.0 assists and 1.1 blocks. Had General Manager Sam Presti not signed Nerlens Noel this offseason to play reserve center, Johnson could have seen more run heading into 2018-19. Now, it's hard to imagine him taking a big leap in playing time, even if he has an impressive summer league.

There are different models of these triggers to fit Mauser models 98FN, 98K, 95 and 96, 91-94, and 91-94K... For example, the Swedish Mausers were M96. Be sure to pick the right one for your Mauser.
Remember that even "drop-in" fitted triggers, may still require some stock inletting Illustrated Instructions are included.
I installation on a custom Mexican Mauser (M1936) action required a bit of wood removal for clearance. But the wood removed didn't absorb recoil and was accomplished with a simple round wood rasp taking only a few minutes. The trigger, like all my Timneys, is short, crisp and unvarying.
I have a 8mm Yugo Mauser in its military configuration. I modified the rifle to make it usable, but easily brought back to original. Slip on recoil pad reduced my flinching. LER scope foe my old eyes. Installing a Timney trigger is one of the best improvements I have made. Stock inletting was easy with a Dremel tool and confined to the interior of the stock. The inletting is not visible on the exterior of the rifle. The Timney trigger was super crisp and perfect weight right from the package. The improvement in the trigger tightened up my target groups and made the military looking gun fun to shoot. The trigger is perfect and I can't imagine any improvements.
Great product! Works very well. I did have to make the trigger slot longer but it said in the directions that I may have to. Nice product!
I have as of yet, used triggers for the m96 or the 91/30 . These are for future builds.
Sportsman adjusts from 2-4 lbs.
