Urban Yarns is pleased to announce and super stoked to host a book signing and trunk show for Alexis Winslow's new book "Graphic Knits". These events are few and far between so we get very excited when we have the opportunity to have an out of town "knit-designista" come to our shop, this is an event you won't want to miss!!!
But if not here is a little background info on the very talented, Alexis Winslow- "she is a knitwear and textile designer living in Brooklyn New York. Her knitwear designs have a bold graphic aesthetic and often utilize interesting construction techniques. Alexis is the creative force behind KnitDarling.com and author of the book Graphic Knits (Interweave Press). Her designs have also been published in print magazines including Interweave Knits and Knitscene as well as on the web through Brooklyn Tweed Yarn Company and KnitPicks.com. She has also contributed many designs to books and anthologies including Ann Budd's Scarf Style 2 and Lisa Shroyer's Free Spirit Shawls.
Alexis splits her time working as a textile print designer by day, the Creative Director/ Cofounder of CharitySub.org by night, and running things around KnitDarling.com in every moment between. Her hobbies include painting, sewing, and embroidery. In addition to numerous gallery shows, her artwork has also been featured on the television show Broad City (Comedy Central) and commissioned by Van's Shoes for their company archives.
Alexis is originally from Norman, Oklahoma. She attended the University of Oklahoma and received her BFA in 2005, focusing on painting and pottery. After moving to New York City in 2007, she studied textile design at the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT). Alexis now works as a printed textile and product designer, creating children's bedding and bath products for a large firm in New York City. She established KnitDarling.com in 2010, and cofounded CharitySub.org in 2011. Alexis began self-publishing her independant knitting patterns in 2009, and by 2012 landed her first full length book deal for Graphic Knits (Interweave Press).
"Graphic Knits is a must-have for the fashion-forward modern knitter. Enjoy knitting 20 bold and colorful designs!
Graphic Knits is a collection of 20 patterns featuring modern colorwork inspired by geometric motifs. Fresh and bold, the projects are created by an up-and-coming design star for the Knitscene set. Author Alexis Winslow makes use of color-knitting techniques such as stripes, Fair Isle, intarsia, and slipped stitches to create visually appealing garments.
Shape and pattern engage in a playful and mutually flattering relationship across the 20 projects in this book. Many patterns have unexpected, modern details. An oversized, chunky cable scarf is given vivid personality through color blocking. A shapely sweater sports a pretty pattern around the collar—but instead of a traditional Scandinavian motif, bright polka dots create something fresh and new.
Now can't you see why we are thrilled to host this event and why you don't want to miss it?!! So clear your calendar for next Sunday, Oct. 26th from 2-4pm and come join us at our Point Grey store to try on and gush over all of the designs, meet Alexis and have your book signed, enjoy some refreshments and mingle with friends. Help us kick off Alexis's westcoast tour with a bang!!
FYI-We have the books already in stock (PG store only….sorry NV folks) if you can't wait until the 26th….or if you are anything like me and just can't resist:)!!

Q: Smallest natural number non-divisible by 4, has 12 divisors, whose square has 45 divisors I have been tasked with finding the smallest natural number $n$ not divisible by 4, where the number of divisors of $n$ is 12, and where the number of divisors of $n^2$ is 45.
So far I've been able to find that the number formed by the last two digits can't be divisible by 4. Other than that, I don't know how to proceed. Any help appreciated

A: Hint A straightforward counting argument shows that the number of divisors of a natural number $n$ with prime factorization $$n = p_1^{a_1} \cdots p_k^{a_k}$$ is $$(a_1 + 1) \cdots (a_k + 1) .$$ So, for example, the condition that $n$ has exactly $12$ divisors is just $$(a_1 + 1) \cdots (a_k + 1) = 12 .$$
Now, what is the condition that the square $n^2$ has $45$ factors, in terms of $a_1, \ldots, a_k$?

Additional hint To find the condition on $a_1, \ldots, a_k$ so that $n^2$ has $45$ factors, first determine how to write the prime factorization of $n^2$ in terms of $a_1, \ldots, a_k$.)

A: Let $n$ be any number of the form $p^2qr$, where $p,q,$ and $r$ are distinct primes. Then, $n$ has exactly $(2+1)(1+1)(1+1)=(3)(2)(2)=12$ divisors, while $n^2$ has exactly $(4+1)(2+1)(2+1)=(5)(3)(3)=45$ divisors.
If $p=2$, then $n$ is divisible by $4$, so $p$ must be an odd prime. Letting $p=3, q=2,$ and $r=5$, $p^2qr=(9)(2)(5)=90$ is the smallest solution.

Expat guide to the USA: health care
In the latest of our expat guides, Peter Pallot considers all aspects of a complicated health care system in the US

Medicine US-style baffles. Why does a country that spends vastly more of its national wealth on health than any other state achieve relatively poor results?
Forty countries, including nations such as Chile, have greater life expectancy than the US.
America also emerges poorly on infant mortality, the international measure of a country's health system. And it was in 37th place in a landmark World Health Organisation ranking of health care systems in 2000.
In 2009 America spent 17.4 per cent of GDP on health. That is far above the "rich country" average of 9.6 per cent (OECD). For comparison, next of the big spenders was Holland at a mere 12 per cent of its national wealth.
Attempts to improve delivery have enjoyed at best only partial success. President Obama's reforms were severely diluted and have yet to take full effect. But a clamp on insurance industry waste and abuse will help. Help for the middle-aged on medicine bills will be welcome.
It is surprising that the nation's health is not flourishing in a country where consumerism is strong and citizens expect value for money. More than half the medical industry's huge total bill is paid by individuals from pocket. (US health care is only 48 per cent publicly funded against an OECD average of 72 per cent.) That should encourage economies. But it doesn't happen.
On the other hand, the nation that can legitimately boast the greatest medical expertise and the world's finest clinics.
A partial explanation may lie in the simple fact that health and longevity are little touched by medical care. Public health measures and lifestyle count more. Yet in matters such as vaccination, the US strictly enforces health protection.
A possible explanation is the absence of a nationally organised health care system. Such systems can be economic. Supplies can be bought in bulk. Wasteful prescribing can be controlled. Unnecessary medical interventions can be limited and economies enforced.
For example, Department of Health pressure on British GPs and the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence have helped to cut wasteful prescribing – policies that would not be tolerated in America.
The US model
Health care is provided by private hospitals and clinics. Most citizens have medical insurance. This is usually provided by the individual's employer and extends to his or her immediate family. As health care costs have mounted, employers have increasingly asked workers to contribute.
After retirement, citizens can get aid through the Medicare programme. Medicaid is federal aid for the poor.
Inflation and counter-measures
The US has suffered higher rates of "medical inflation" than most other advanced countries. Attempts to combat price rises have centred on PPOs (preferred provider organisations) and HMOs (health care management organisations).
PPOs are subscription-based bodies that give members discounted treatment rates within a broad network of "preferred" hospitals and primary care clinics. They negotiate with providers to set rates and settle disputes between members and providers.
HMOs are a step on from PPOs. They are group insurance bodies that route patients through selected doctors, clinics and hospitals where prices are pre-agreed. The aim is greater cost containment than that offered by PPOs.
Land of the free
Unlike most advanced countries, the US does not demand that expatriates, or even holidaymakers, have medical cover. Such a stipulation would sit oddly with its laissez-faire approach to its own citizens.
But the catch is that anyone who does not have appropriate insurance runs the risk of paying colossal bills – or getting no medical attention at all. The US Embassy in London recommends buying cover in advance or soon after arrival. That view is universally held by anyone with experience of the system.
The embassy says: "Medical insurance is strongly advised. Only emergency cases are treated without prior payment and treatment may be refused without evidence of insurance or a deposit. All receipts must be kept in order to make a claim. Medical facilities are generally of a high standard."
What insurance costs – roughly
A lot. But it's still worth it if you don't want your life savings drained after a heart attack or major trauma. Furthermore, insurance advisers recommend comprehensive insurance for the US (rather than budget) while they may not do so for other countries.
One reason is that American doctors tend to order more tests and scans than the European norm. Tests are often expensive and often not covered in most budget plans. (Budget plans broadly cover in-patient care only and the tests may be ordered in out-patient consultation.)
Carl Carter, chairman of the Association of International Medical Insurance Providers, confirms that the US is the most advanced but also most expensive location in the world for seeking and receiving medical treatment, "although China is catching up fast for westerners".
He attributes this to the highly litigious nature of the country and doctors' willingness to initiate costly, often superfluous, tests.
He advises visitors planning on travelling there for much more than a few months to consider a fully comprehensive international medical insurance plan. As chief executive of IMG Europe, an insurance company with a US parent, it is to be expected that he would recommend using "a provider with direct experience and understanding of the US".
Mr Carter adds: "A travel insurance policy, even a long-stay plan, will only tend to patch you up and seek to bring you back home to your own domestic health system or insurance.
"And some of the lower sums-insured plans out there could easily hit their limits quite quickly if you were unfortunate enough to spend some time in a US intensive-care unit or have a long period of recovery before you could return home."
What it costs – comparatively
A couple aged 50 and 44 in the US with Bupa Classic (comprehensive) would pay £18,177 a year. The same cover for the same couple in Spain would be less than half.
The difference is more marked for a 44 year-old individual in the US. With Bupa Classic the individual would pay £7,182 a year, roughly two-and-a-half times equivalent cover in Spain.
What it costs – specifically
Among leading UK-based providers, Aviva could be seen as the least expensive. Its International Solutions Core plan - with reduced out-patient cover - costs £9,139 a year for a couple 50 and 44. Budget cover is £7,300.
Also competitively priced is Axa PPP Comprehensive at £10,737 a year for the same couple (budget £8,393). Because of a 15 per cent starter discount, IMG is also reasonable. Its Global Select Standard carries an annual premium of £10,896 (budget £6,618).
These premiums may look high but ExpaCare's equivalent plan is £19,823 for the couple 50/44 (budget £14,803). Medicare and Bupa Classic are also pricey - both less than £2,000 down on the ExpaCare premium.
For a 44-year-old individual, premiums are still more variable, with Bupa's Classic costing £7,182 a year compared to Aviva's similar plan at £2,828 – but that plan has reduced out-patient benefits. However for budget cover, the gap narrows, with the Bupa plan costing an annual £4,195 and Aviva's £2,545.
Other providers for a 44-year-old include InterGlobal at £4,726 (budget £3,000) and Axa PPP at £3,814 (budget £2,981).
It should be noted that plans are only broadly similar. The label "comprehensive" indicates that out-patient and in-patient fees are covered but caps can apply and specific benefits vary.
In addition, insurers offering very low premiums seldom keep them low for long. A common pattern is to "buy" market share, then sharply raise premiums. This may pose a problem for any customer developing a chronic condition.
The one-year catch
Not all providers can offer cover beyond the first year if a person is permanently resident in the States. After the first year they may have to find cover with a US-based company.
Broker Stephen Walker, of Medical Insurance Services in Brighton, says this point should not be ignored. He suggests: "If a person is considering an eventual return to the UK to live, it would be wise to look to an insurer such as BUPA or Axa PPP who have a capability to transfer to a UK domestic policy, which is much cheaper than an international policy." Alternatively, a US insurer offering a UK domestic plan would fulfil requirements.
Inside the system
Attempts to improve cost-effectiveness of US care have failed overall. Hospital managers, doctors and drug companies astutely maintain a system that, critics argue, works more for them than their patients. Fraud is said to account for a 10 per cent loading on prices.
Litigation by patients caught up in medical blunders not only increases professional indemnity costs, ultimately paid by patients, it encourages doctors to do more hi-tech diagnostic tests than required in order to cover themselves against future claims. Buying drugs is far more expensive in the US than elsewhere. But you still need a medical consultation for quite trivial conditions. The US Embassy notes: "Many medications available over the counter in other countries require a prescription in the US."
If you have school-age children and are staying in the US for long periods you must prove up-to-date immunisation. Protection is required against diphtheria, measles, poliomyelitis and rubella. Schools in many states also require immunisation against tetanus, pertussis (whooping cough) and mumps. Whether authorities will accept written evidence of immunisation carried out abroad is open to question.
America has long relaxed its controversial entry ban on HIV-positive visitors. But such individuals must apply at the US Embassy for a Waiver of Inadmissibility before entry.
Everyone wants the best in health terms. The American interpretation of that appears to be inevitably associated with hi-tech medicine.
A quote from Stuart Altman, a policy maker under presidents Clinton, Reagan and Nixon, is worth recalling. "We love toys. We love technology. But is it worth it with all the inefficiencies and high costs – does it pay? The answer is yes, but – a big but – it doesn't mean we need it all."

portal: Libraries and the Academy, an international refereed quarterly journal, publishes articles that focus on all aspects of librarianship, knowledge management, and information services and studies within higher education. portal articles are intended for an audience that is interested in the broad role and impact of libraries within the academy. The journal welcomes submission of inquiries and proposals for topics that authors have under development and will provide guidance on the suitability for publication in portal.
portal explores how technology is affecting librarianship and scholarship, as well as the role of libraries and librarians in meeting institutional missions. The information revolution presents numerous challenges to librarians, faculty, and administrators in areas including archiving, copyright, and technology-enhanced learning. portal covers these and many other topics as they relate to the rapidly changing needs of academics and the roles of libraries and librarians. portal provides an unbiased outlet for issues that have not been addressed in other venues. Work that is collaborative between librarians and those engaged in discipline-based studies is of particular interest.
Each issue includes peer-reviewed articles on subjects such as library administration, information technology, new forms of support for research and teaching, and information policy. Other articles address technological issues, research, standards, and policy and strategic planning.
portal is available in the Project MUSE collection and as a paper publication.
Librarianship, the discipline we practice, arises from the professional training and the resultant work we do in specific institutional settings. At its base, librarianship is responsible for supplying the lifeblood of the rest of the academy—access to information for the advancement of knowledge, invention, and teaching. Since good librarianship is vital to the academic enterprise, it follows that advancing the field of librarianship is vital to maintaining our ability to do so. It is important for portal referees to appreciate that what constitutes scholarship often arises from the context and experience of the work librarians do as individuals. Above all, librarianship is a practiced discipline.
The brief guidance provided here for potential authors is more completely elaborated in the full editorial essay appearing in portal volume 4, no.4. The feature is available at http://muse.jhu.edu/journals/pla.
Major journals in most disciplines pride themselves on their high rejection rates, rationalizing that a high rejection rate signifies a strong commitment to and compelling evidence of quality. Nothing could be more wasteful of the scarce resources for library research than to replicate a system that encourages authors to create a finished product that is judged and summarily rejected.
The portal board understands that authors, particularly new authors, need mentoring from the moment they decide to engage in research through revisions to meet referees' critiques. We encourage authors, particularly new authors, to seek out experienced colleagues to give them guidance in their early efforts. Such colleague-mentors are the most appropriate for consultation about topic identification and selection, about issues surrounding statistical sampling and survey design, and about crafting the article itself, including the organizational structure as well as the professional tone and style. We believe that it is critical for the library profession to engage an international audience; we welcome submissions from authors in other countries; and, where relevant, we encourage those authors to seek detailed review by a professional colleague who is a native speaker of English. We believe that this early intervention enables aspiring authors to complete strong projects acceptable for publication after review by an independent set of referees for portal or other journals.
All submissions to portal are subjected to the double-blind review process, and referees are explicitly asked to indicate when a manuscript is worthy but needs more detailed guidance to be fully acceptable for publication in portal. When a recommendation is made to find a mentor for a manuscript, the authors are asked if they wish to undertake such an effort, understanding that the process is up to them to carry forward. Once revisions have been made, incorporating the guidance and critic of the original referees, the new manuscript is again submitted to the double-blind review process but to different referees. In this way the integrity of the refereeing process is preserved, and the authors receive a new hearing for the revised work. Over time, we have seen this process produce very successful, even prize-winning, results.
The preferred method for submitting manuscripts to portal is as a word-processed attachment in e-mail. Microsoft Word™ is the preferred application for submissions. Author's full name, affiliation, mailing address, e-mail, fax, and phone must accompany any manuscript submission. We will acknowledge receipt of all materials submitted. Once accepted, manuscripts must be prepared in Microsoft™ applications for purposes of submission to the Press.
Article manuscripts should be no more than 25 to 30 pages double-spaced. We ask authors to work within this page limit and to consult with the editor should a topic require more space. The manuscript must be neither previously published nor submitted elsewhere simultaneously without specific prior consent from the Editor.
Include an abstract of no more than 100 words highlighting the scope, methodology, and conclusions of the paper. These are vital because they provide the keywords for searching the full text of the articles.
Scrupulously prepare references as endnotes, in the Chicago Manual of Style humanities style (see below).
Include headings and subheadings to make your paper more readable.
Avoid overuse of the passive voice.
Use standard United States spelling.
Spell out acronyms and abbreviations when first used in the text.
The author is responsible for obtaining copyright permission for all materials from other works to be reproduced in portal.
All graphics should be coherent in gray scale, as the paper version of portal does not include color.
Submit tables and similar material in Microsoft Word using the table function or using tabs to distinguish space between columns. Do not use Excel.
Submit all figures and charts in tif, gif, or Adobe Photoshop with a minimum of 266 dpi. If this is not possible, submit a clean hard copy for scanning of the figure. All graphics should fit within an 8 ½ X 11 image area.
Submit all tables and similar material as individual files, separate from the article manuscript.
Number tables in sequence, using Arabic numerals.
Clearly identify each table, figure, or similar item with a caption.
Indicate in the text approximately where each table or figure should be placed.

To accelerate review and publication processes, we prefer electronic submission of manuscripts as described above.
Submit article manuscripts and related communications to Marianne Ryan, mryan21@luc.edu with a copy of submissions to Sara Dreyfuss, portalmanagingeditor@gmail.com.
Features rotate on an irregular basis. Feature columns are edited but generally not peer-reviewed. Send proposals or questions about features to the appropriate feature editor with copies sent to Marianne Ryan and Sara Dreyfus. Submit feature column manuscripts and related communications to individual editors, by topic, again with cc to Marianne Ryan and Sara Dreyfuss.
Reviews of new books and other professional materials are included regularly in portal. A variety of formats and subjects relevant to the mission of portal are considered for review.
portal uses a double-blind peer review process for article manuscripts. We will notify you of the referees' comments and editor's decision by e-mail, usually within four to eight weeks of the receipt of your manuscript. We do not decline manuscripts without offering suggestions to solve identified problems or to place an article more appropriately. An accepted article will be scheduled for a particular future issue and published following your submission of an acceptable final manuscript.
Johns Hopkins University Press allows authors to post manuscripts on the open Web. This access is defined by the copyright agreement between the press and the author, which is executed at the time the manuscript is sent to the press for publication. Authors should not post prior to signing this agreement.
Articles accepted for publication and copy edited for the upcoming issue of portal are posted on a preprint server hosted by the Journals Division of the Johns Hopkins University Press. There is a link to these articles on the portal homepage. The preprints are also defined by the publishing agreement between the author and the press. Once the issue of the journal is published, these articles move to an archive.
Often in the referee and editorial process decisions are made to delete portions of a manuscript for reasons of space. Such materials as appendices, survey instruments, and so on that are not vital to understanding may be excluded. However, portal can provide links to such materials in the Muse database. Authors are provided information on how to accomplish this during manuscript revision for publication.
Editing and publishing a peer-reviewed journal is a cooperative venture. Manuscripts may progress quickly or slowly depending on many factors, including the overall flow of incoming manuscripts and the variable time constraints of everyone involved. The editors and editorial board of portal have endorsed the principles and practices in the document "Ethics & Best Practices: A Statement of Ethics and Guide to Best Practices for Editors of Library and Information Science Journals," issued in July 2009 and posted at http://www.lis-editors.org/best-practices/index.shtml. We encourage authors, reviewers, and other editors and publishers to seek to follow these standards for integrity, access, timeliness, and reliability.
We sincerely hope that you will enjoy the authoring and publication experience.


Hello dear readers, I'm back from vacation! I'll share pictures soon.
Over the weekend I had the opportunity to attend my local JDRF Type One Nation Summit. It's the first time I've been able to go to one and I'm so glad that I did. About a week before the summit, I got an email from my local Dexcom rep asking if I'd be willing to participate on a panel of Super Stars with T1D, which was a huge honor.

TESSERACT ANNOUNCE NEW STUDIO ALBUM 'SONDER'
New studio album Sonder coming 20th April 2018+video for new single "Luminary"+North America Tour for April & May
TesseracT, a band that sit outside the bounds of any genre specificity, pioneers of the ever-evolving metal scene and unstoppable force of off-kilter riffs, soaring melodies and disorientating atmospherics release their fourth studio album Sonder on April 20th 2018 through Kscope.
Sonder adds significant firepower to the band's arsenal, blending the harsh abrasiveness of One (2011) and progressive ethereal elements of Altered State (2013) with the accessibility of Polaris (2015). Sonder is streamlined, honest and direct with all the trademark TesseracT dreamy atmospherics and bending grooves. Sonder was recorded in the UK at 4D Sounds, Celestial Sounds and Project Studios, engineered by the band and Aiden O'Brien with mastering by Acle Kahney, and cover artwork designed by Amos Williams.
Listen to the new single "Luminary" above, described by vocalist Daniel Tompkins as "conceptually exploring a deep and devouring sense of insignificance, which ties into the overall theme and meaning behind 'Sonder'". Also featured is an extended and re-worked version of last summer's single "Smile".
Sonder will be released on CD / 2CD – featuring binaural album bonus disc / black LP / Crystal Clear vinyl LP / picture disc (exclusive to the band's webstores) and digitally (with digital album pre-order receiving "Luminary" as an instant download) and is available to PRE-ORDER HERE.
For audiophiles, TesseracT have produced a binaural version which will be available exclusively as part of the 2CD version, this version is a 360-listening experience designed by Klang: Fabrik for headphones listening Amos Williams explains more "the concept is to push past the restrictions of a stereo headphone mix and create an accurate '3D' space in which positioning outside of the normal Left Right axis can occur. This is something that every artist that uses in ear monitors on stage wishes to recreate; the real and accurate positioning of instruments. We immediately felt that this technology could be applicable to us in the studio. TesseracT loves to bring what it does in the studio to the stage, but this time it's experimenting with bringing a live element to the studio."

Texte
LE LION ET LE MOUCHERON

[Ésope]

" Va-t-en, chétif Insecte, excrément de la terre ! " (1)

           C'est en ces mots que le Lion

            Parlait un jour au Moucheron.

            L'autre lui déclara la guerre.

" Penses-tu, lui dit-il, que ton titre de roi

            Me fasse peur ni me soucie (2) ?

            Un bœuf est plus puissant que toi,

            Je le mène à ma fantaisie. "

            À peine il achevait ces mots

            Que lui-même il sonna la charge,

            Fut le trompette et le héros.

            Dans l'abord (3) il se met au large,

            Puis prend son temps (4), fond sur le cou

            Du Lion, qu'il rend presque fou.

Le Quadrupède écume, et son œil étincelle ;

Il rugit, on se cache, on tremble à l'environ ;

            Et cette alarme universelle

            Est l'ouvrage d'un Moucheron.

Un avorton de Mouche en cent lieux le harcèle :

Tantôt pique l'échine, et tantôt le museau,

            Tantôt entre au fond du naseau.

La rage alors se trouve à son faîte montée.

L'invisible ennemi triomphe, et rit de voir

Qu'il n'est griffe ni dent en la bête irritée

Qui de la mettre en sang ne fasse son devoir.

Le malheureux Lion se déchire lui-même,

Fait résonner sa queue à l'entour de ses flancs,

Bat l'air qui n'en peut mais (5) ; et sa fureur extrême

Le fatigue, l'abat : le voilà sur les dents (6).

L'Insecte du combat se retire avec gloire :

Comme il sonna la charge, il sonne la victoire,

Va partout l'annoncer, et rencontre en chemin

            L'embuscade d'une araignée :

            Il y rencontre aussi sa fin.

Quelle chose par là nous peut être enseignée ?

J'en vois deux, dont l'une est qu'entre nos ennemis

Les plus à craindre sont souvent les plus petits ;

L'autre, qu'aux grands périls tel a pu se soustraire,

            Qui périt pour la moindre affaire.

Truckers already pay their fair share in taxes to run Interstate 95 in the state of Virginia, but the state Department of Transportation is one step closer to adding tolls on top of that. The Federal Highway Administration has granted the Virginia DOT conditional approval to convert the heavily traveled interstate into a toll road.
Gov. Bob McDonnell started the ball rolling last year as part of his statewide $4 billion transportation plan, which received legislative approval. That led to the Virginia DOT filing a formal expression of interest with the FHWA.
Federal Highway Administrator Victor Mendez announced Virginia's conditional approval in a letter to VDOT dated Wednesday, Sept. 14. The letter says the state may proceed as part of the Interstate Reconstruction and Rehabilitation Pilot Program, which allows up to three interstates to be converted to toll roads.
OOIDA and truckers are against tolls on existing infrastructure, and I-95 is no exception. OOIDA leadership calls it shortsighted for officials to view I-95 as a cash cow because highway users continue to pay fuel taxes and other fees to travel on it.
"Conditional approval for tolls gets our attention because of the effect tolling will have on truckers' livelihoods and the Virginia economy," said Ryan Bowley, director of legislative affairs for OOIDA.
Back in 2003, Virginia received a similar conditional approval to reconstruct I-81 using tolls. The state sat on that plan for years and eventually scrapped it, opting to try for I-95 instead.
"They couldn't justify it for I-81. It will be interesting to see how they justify it and work through things like public input for what is one of the major commerce corridors on the East Coast," Bowley said.
Bowley points out that VDOT maintains nearly 50,000 miles of roadways that other states would consider county or local roadways. Tolling I-95 would most likely free up dollars for that general maintenance fund.
"Instead of asking whether tolls are in the best interest of the state, they should be asking if it's in the state's best interest to have taxpayers around the state paying for what essentially amount to local roads," Bowley said.
Conditional approval doesn't mean final approval, says Bowley, and the state should be providing opportunities for public participation in the process.
Truckers stood tall in opposing a similar plan by Pennsylvania to toll I-80. The FHWA did not grant Pennsylvania approval because PennDOT could not prove that 100 percent of the toll revenue would stay with the highway for reconstruction. Virginia's application states that 100 percent of I-95 revenue would remain with the roadway.
VDOT is hoping to generate $250 million during the first five years of tolls according to a statement.
A VDOT spokesman previously told the press that only one tolling location would be necessary, and it would be near the North Carolina border to capture revenue from interstate traffic.
North Carolina officials are considering a countermeasure for I-95 tolls on their side of the state line. South Carolina officials have also considered tolls on I-95.

Since 1997, the NIH has dramatically increased its funding of research and training in developing countries. To help NIAID foreign research partners successfully manage grants and cooperative agreements, regional post-award grants policies and management training workshops are held twice a year. NIAID hosts the three-day regional post-award grants management training workshops in countries where there are institutions that receive NIAID research funding. The objective is to help business officials, scientists, and grants managers better understand NIAID/NIH funding policies and DHHS regulations.
While these regional training events have helped many attendees, they are usually too short and the cost of travel is often not affordable to institutions. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) will enable senior administrators from low- to middle-income countries (LMICs) to receive training in NIH grants policy and financial management of grants, including compliance with NIH scientific reporting requirements. For this FOA a senior administrator is considered to be institutional staff with responsibility for grants administration including business officials, grants managers and scientists with administrative responsibilities.
Purpose and Scope
The purpose of this FOA is to encourage submission of applications from research institutions in LMICs, as defined by The World Bank, to provide their senior administrators with advanced training in the management of NIH grants. The overall intent of the initiative is to support the training of senior administrators and empower them to serve as institutional grants management leaders; provide them with access to good business practices for managing awards; assist the administrative staff in developing and implementing standard operating procedures for tracking grant expenditures, complying with NIH funding policies; and assist or train other administrators in the local area. These opportunities would be provided in the form of grants to "train-the-trainer" by sponsoring grants administration training for senior foreign business officials to receive hands-on training at US institutions.
This FOA will provide support for travel of senior administrator(s) from the LMIC institution to a partner US host institution where they will receive hands-on training in grants administration. These senior administrator(s) are expected to train others at their home institutions and, as needed, implement grants management changes, as well as serve as a resource for training other local or regional institutions receiving NIAID funds. These trained individuals would then train other grants administration officials and improve their local internal business practices.
Up to two senior administrators from the LMIC institution will receive training at a US host institution for up to 1 month during the award period (2 weeks in the first year and 2 weeks in the second year), as well as attend either a NIH regional workshop on program funding and grants administration, or a NIAID post-award grants policy and management training event. The FOA will also support up to two senior administrators from the LMIC institution for five days of in-house training with the Grants Management Program (GMP) at NIAID in Rockville, MD. This training will allow GMP staff to provide customized information about managing NIAID awards, as well as tailored hands-on training based on the needs of the institutions.
An additional goal of the FOA is to support "sustainability initiatives" for NIH research grants administration. Sustainability initiatives should include activities that facilitate research grants administration activities that would be initiated during the grant funding period with the potential to continue after the funding has ended. Examples include, but are not limited to, development of standard operating procedures (SOPs) that include specific steps for effectively managing sponsored research funds within the local institution and the development of a new in-house, grants management career track for business management trainees or college students. The purpose of this element is to enable the PD(s)/PI(s) to initiate a local new or revised grants administration process, and collect relevant data to demonstrate the importance of developing or strengthening grants management activities that can help to maintain institutional competitiveness and/or the efficiency and productivity of research administration operations.
For additional information see NIAID questions and answers webpage for PAR-21-037 https://www.niaid.nih.gov/grants-contracts/opportunity-specific-questions-and-answers.

Candidates Feuer and Trutanich Agree to Debates
By a MetNews Staff Writer
It appears that a series of debates between Los Angeles City Attorney Carmen Trutanich and state Assemblyman Mike Feuer, D- Los Angeles—who is opposing the incumbent in next spring's election—is in the offing after statements by the dueling camps yesterday.
Feuer yesterday morning challenged the city attorney to 10 debates. Trutanich consultant Rick Taylor's response appeared yesterday afternoon on the LA Weekly website, with Taylor telling the newspaper "We're not gonna do 10....We're going to do 100."
Feuer responded with the following statement:
"I am glad Mr. Trutanich has accepted my challenge to a series of spirited debates this primary election. I will debate Mr. Trutanich anytime, anywhere, and as many times as possible. Hopefully he will confirm with the potential hosts who have already expressed interest in hosting a debate between us, including KPCC's Larry Mantle, the Valley Industry and Commerce Association (VICA), and NBC Channel 4's Conan Nolan."
Feuer's spokesperson, Dave Jacobson added:
"Clearly Mr. Trutanich is eager to explain himself to the 76% of Los Angeles residents, and specifically the 62% of residents in his home community of San Pedro, who rejected him a few months ago when he ran for DA."
There was no word as to whether the other candidates, West Los Angeles attorney Greg Smith and Senior Assistant City Eduardo Angeles, would be invited, or would attempt, to join in.

The founder of Chanel, dubbed the Queen of Fashion, Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel, was born in 1883 in Saumur, a small town in the west of France. However, once she was in Paris, she conquered the fashion world with her progressive costume design with legs and a skirt.
Coco Chanel began as a bar singer, where she got her nickname. As early as 1912, she opened her first fashion salon, and was soon a recognised designer. By the mid-20th-century, she was setting the trends in haute couture and Chanel was worn by personalities such as Jacqueline Kennedy and Grace Kelly.
It was not long before Chanel's interest spread to cosmetics and perfume. The very first Chanel perfume, the legendary Chanel No. 5, was launched in 1921 and is still one of the best-known and best-selling perfumes of all time. Nowadays, we can easily say that Chanel Chance, Chanel Coco Mademoiselle, Chanel Allure Homme Sport and Chanel Gabrielle are also cult classics.

New regulations encourage dog walking
Ailee Lim
Chris Ketner bikes as his dog, a black lab named Noodle, walks alongside him. Ketner often takes Noodle to walk in public areas like Waterdog Lake and wishes there were more areas open to the public for dog-walking.
Ailee Lim, Staff Writer
Dogs are a man's best friend, but they can't follow men everywhere.
Dogs are prohibited in certain hiking and recreation areas in San Mateo County, such as Coyote Point and Crystal Springs. There are various reasons for not allowing them.
"I think it's mostly for safety because there are little kids sometimes on tricycles and dogs can be startled or unpredictable, so banning dogs is safer for those with children," said Janine Fabel, a Belmont resident.
However, more and more public areas are opening to dogs.
In October, the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors voted to place a new set of rules to allow leashed dogs to walk in six spots owned by the Parks Department.
"The county updating its ordinance to allow dogs in more places is a good idea. Having more dog accessible places would mean dog owners can show their dogs more diverse trails," said Olga Pyalling, a junior.
Coastside DOG is a group dedicated to having more public areas for responsible dog walking and have various petitions to help support their cause. Their Open More San Mateo County Park to Dog Walking! petition gained over 45,000 signatures. They are currently still aiming to open up more trails and parks for dog walkers.
Lifting this ban encouraged dog walking in more public places.
"I walk my dog on public hiking trails at least three times a week. I wish there were more dog-friendly trails in the Bay Area," said Chris Ketner.
However, not everyone was happy about dogs being allowed in more places. Coyote Point is a recreational area that still does not allow dogs. Karen Wight, a park ranger at Coyote Point, does not want the rules against dogs to be changed.
"There's wildlife here and if they smell a domestic animal, including dogs, they will get threatened. [The rules] aren't just against dogs, you can't have a pet here, cats, rabbits, birds, and etcetera," Wight said.
At Coyote Point there are also repercussions if someone brings their dog.
"It's against the rules of the park; you can get a misdemeanor for it. If you're a repeat offender it can change to an infraction," Wight said.
Coyote Point is undergoing a process to determine if dogs should be allowed in the future.
"San Mateo County parks, including Coyote Point, has a system. As soon as we catch someone with a dog, we get some information on it like what breed it is, why it is here, things like that. Then we turn that data into the head office and after they go through it they will decide if [Coyote Point] will allow dogs in the future. I don't want them to," Wight said.
Dog cleanup is also a problem prevalent in allowing dogs in more public places. Not cleaning up dog feces has environmental repercussions, which is why picking up waste with a bag is encouraged.
"I don't mind having a dog on a trail but sometimes cleanup is an issue. Some people will clean up their dogs' poop with a plastic bag but then leave the plastic bag on the ground, which also isn't great," said Sandy Green, whose name has been changed to protect their privacy.
Some dog owners, however, want the change to happen.
"It bothers me that some trails and reserves don't allow dogs. I think there are a lot of unnecessary restrictions against them. I hope more places will open their gates to dogs in the future," Ketner said.
Ketner feels that the bad habits of other dog owners reflect badly on owners that make an effort to walk their dog responsibly.
"I worry the behaviors of some dog owners isn't helping the situation, but most of us are here to follow the rules," Ketner said.

I left early for school and attended my first lecture as a final year student. It really brought brief happiness to my life, making me put all my fears behind me. I religiously faced my studies.
Tuesday evening approached very fast, bringing Emmanuel with it. I was writing an assignment when i heard someone knock on my door. I thought it was Mariam, but was a bit surprised to see Emmanuel standing nervously with a coloured face.
"Hello" i greeted coldly, before paving way for him to enter my room. He calmly sat on my bed, while i returned to my assignment which i faced seriously.
"Because i have been very busy, which you can see for yourself" i replied coldly.
"Seriously i'm yet to get myself, it hasn't been easy for me" he tried to explain, but i interrupted him rudely.
"You have no need to explain yourself, let's forget about it" i muttered without caring to look up at him. He stood up and drew close to me..
"I know you are still angry with me, tell me isn't it so?" he asked searchingly.
"Please i'm not angry, allow me to concentrate on my assignment, i still have four pages to cover" i replied with a slightly raised tone.
"I have to get going, it's almost 6pm, do take care dearest" he murmured, stood hesitantly for a while before leaving my room. I never bothered to say goodbye to him.
Mariam dragged me to a boutique which was just few houses away from Emmanuel's apartment, giggling happily as she showed me the gown which made her drag me out by that hour.
"Mary isn't it beautiful?, i can't afford waiting till tomorrow, because i can't risk losing it for anything" she explained happily as i stared at the beautiful gown. She really was very right, the pink cute thing was well designed with a lovely material.
"You are right dear, the gown is worth the trouble" i replied with a smile. She laughed and quickly paid for it.
As we left the boutique minutes later, i begged her to accompany me to Emmanuel's apartment which was just few steps away. She wasn't happy about it, but had no choice than to follow me.
But you guys can't imagine the surprise, shock and anger i felt when the door to Mike's apartment was opened by no other person than Stella, three minutes later.
"Oh dear good evening, I guess you are looking for Emmanuel, he went out minutes ago" Stella giggled with bright eyes. I breathed deeply, as i desperately tried to control my temper.
"It's in our best interest to keep our thoughts quiet, let's go" Mariam cleverly whispered, before dragging me away.
"Ain't you going to leave a message" i heard the obnoxious Stella ask as we left the building.
"You have seen nothing of what we call life'; your boyfriend is false in heart, in mind, in soul; he has a false flattering tongue, false lips, false principles, you better be careful" he had advised me on Sunday, but i choosed to ignore him.
"Could he be right?" i wondered, "no no no Emmanuel won't be so stupid as to get back with her, there must be a solid reason for her to be in his house" I fearfully concluded.
Mariam and i didn't say much to each other when we got back to the lodge. She soon retired to her room, while i settled to sleep, but i kept tossing on my bed uneasily due to my unhappy thoughts. Unable to control my emotions i dialed Emmanuel's phone number only to get the greatest shock of my life.
"I came to your house earlier in the evening with my friend, didn't Stella tell you?" i asked. He kept quiet for some seconds.
"I wanted to explain this to you the last time i came over to your place, but you never granted me the audience, Emmanuel Said!
He was still about apologizing when i switched off the phone instantly. I couldn't believe my ears. I was totally confused on the next thing to do. I cried hell out that night and was lost in thought all through the night that i never knew it was day break already, and i'm to visit Samuel that very day together with Mariam accompany me.
Early the next day, we headed to Samuel's family house, very scared, confused and nervous. but i was consoled with the fact that i was doing the right thing.


Good lord, what to make of it all? After letting all this collected data sink in for the past couple days, some thoughts about the world's top watch and jewellery show are starting to become clear. I'm usually pretty objective when it comes to reporting on watches, not letting my own personal taste influence my coverage of what might be this year's most important and newsworthy timepieces. Yet somehow Baselworld 2016 felt different. A stiff breeze of reality seems to have blown through the Messeplatz, with key words like "quality," "value," and "wearability" mentioned at almost every appointment.
I often get asked for personal watch recommendations and realised what I often write about and what I recommend to friends are usually quite different. So, this post is a fresh way of looking at the show. For the regular watch-buyer out there who might be thinking about taking a leap into higher end horology, this is what I loved. The highlights this year are the watches that I keep coming back to: my personal favourites, the watches that I would like to wear myself. Yes, there are many amazing horological inventions and dazzling high- jewellery watches to dream about (see my last post). But, at the end of the day, what would I actually like to see on my wrist? Here are eight timepieces that fit the bill.
A limited edition based on a classic, the CK2998 keeps many of the details of the original, updated for this year in an eye-catching, blue-and-white colour combination. An iconic watch style proven to stand the test of time? I'm sold.

Elfred, Jack's BFF for 3 years. Styrofoam cup crown, Magic Loom (TM) belt and bracelet designed by Jack. Dried, unidentifiable dairy product on left sleeve also fashioned by Jack.
On Christmas three years ago, Santa gave Jack an iTouch, with a special engraving on the back from Elfred, telling Jack that he was Elfred's "best friend." Jack beamed with Christmas joy. Unfortunately, "Santa Dave" didn't consult with me first before accompanying this gift with a beautiful, calligraphy fonted letter from Elfred on linen paper, announcing that as of this Christmas, Elfred would be living with us year-'round.
The thought balloon above my head replayed Ralphie in that flat tire scene from A Christmas Story: "Oh…FUDGE…" My spirited chat with Santa Dave later that evening teed me up for a five-course meal of Life Buoy soap.
So this Elfred charade went on for three excruciatingly long years. Like any busy adults, we got careless. It happens. We'd forget to move Elfred for days–even weeks–on end. Jack was getting increasingly upset by Elfred's lethargy, convinced his little elven buddy was dying. One morning, in my attempt to explain it away, I blurted out, "Well, he gets his magic from the North Pole, right? We just need to put him in the fridge to regain his magic!" Jack was satisfied with that answer. Problem solved. But every time I opened the fridge, I would startle, not expecting to see that creepy little elf face staring me down. Elfred became dieting MAGIC.
P.S. As for Elfred, the last I heard, he joined a motorcycle gang out of Albuquerque. If you cross him, you'll know him by that tell-tale stain on his left sleeve.


5 Foods You'll Miss If You're Canadian Living in the U.S.
Expat life comes with several challenges, and missing your comfort foods is a big part of that.
When most Americans think of Canadian food, they picture bacon and maple syrup. Yet that is only a small part of the story when it comes to Canadian cuisine (even if is a delicious part).
The thousands of Canadian expats in the U.S. may not live that far from away from their home country, but they'll find themselves missing several food products that are a bit difficult to find when south of the border.
We asked TransferWise customers and colleagues what they crave when Stateside and where to find these products in the good 'ol USA. They might be saving a lot of money each time they send money home with TransferWise instead of their bank, but they can't help missing these five typical Canadian treats.
Most Americans are not aware of the existence of these ketchup flavored potato chips. But they are a core Canadian snack, a beloved and bizarre (well, in American eyes at least) blend of subtle sweetness and saltiness.
In the U.S. you can find their close cousin, spicy ketchup chips, at a few chain stores throughout the country, including Walgreens. But if you're looking for the real deal, you'd be better off buying them online.
Another unhealthy staple of Canada, this dish is comprised in french fries generously coated in gravy and cheese curds. It originated in Montreal back in the 1950s, and there now are a number of so-called poutineries around Quebec.
Check out this guide for the best restaurants to find poutine throughout the States, some of which are run by Quebec expats who actually know how to get the recipe right.
A Quebec staple snack since the 1930s, this decadent dessert is comprised of two sponge cakes with a cream filling within a milk chocolate shell. Cravings for these Canadian cakes used to require a trip north of the border.
But since 2011, they have been sitting in some grocery store shelves alongside Twinkies and other packaged treats in the U.S. And if you fail to find them in a store, various online retailers such as Amazon offer them too.
Canadians don't only miss fatty foods laden with salt or sugar. The unusual purple garlic is grown largely in British Columbia and Ontario, where the frigid wintry cold actual initiates its growth.
This slightly sweet garlic has an incredible full-bodied taste, and adds a creative touch to traditional recipes like garlic mashed potatoes. As it can be stored for up to six months, you can either buy it at a number of outlets online, including eBay, or look for the West Texas variant in some stores.
The bulk of muscles farmed in the Canada come from the idyllic Prince Edward Island, which hosts an annual festival revolving around them. The tender and sweet shellfish tastes especially yummy when sauteed in white wine.
Luckily they are becoming easier to find in the seafood department of many stores, including Whole Foods. Once you do buy 'em, visit the P.E.I. mussel website for recipes, including mussel bruschetta and marinated mussel salad.
TransferWise charges just 0.7% over $5,000 with no mark-up - that means you get a far better exchange rate.
But don't worry, TransferWise is here to change this.
Have you moved to the U.S.? Don't get stung by the exchange rate when you send money home.
