[LETHAL SEPTIC INFECTION IN RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS]
BÉLY Miklós, APÁTHY Ágnes
[INTRODUCTION - The lethal septic infection was studied in a randomized (non-selected) autopsy population of 234 in-patients with rheumatoid arthritis. The patients died at the National Institute of Rheumatology between 1970 and 1999. PATIENTS AND METHOD - The aims of this study were to determine the prevalence of lethal septic infection with or without purulent arthritis in rheumatoid arthritis; the relationship between purulent arthritis and lethal septic infection; the clinically missed diagnosis of lethal septic infection and purulent arthritis; the influence of the main complications and associated diseases on lethal septic infection with and without purulent arthritis; the pathogens in lethal septic infection; and the clinico-laboratory parameters associated with lethal septic infection in rheumatoid arthritis. RESULTS - Lethal septic infection was found in 31 (13.24%) of 234 rheumatoid arthritis patients. Purulent arthritis complicated lethal septic infection in 15 (6.4%) of 31 patients. There was a significant association between lethal septic infection and purulent arthritis. Sepsis was detected clinically in 17 of 31 lethal cases and purulent arthritis was detected 9 of 15 septic infection complicated with suppurative articular processes. The coexistent complications (systemic vasculitis, AA amyloidosis), and associated diseases (tuberculosis with or without miliary dissemination, malignant tumors, diabetes mellitus) did not influence the prevalence of septic infection. The most frequent pathogenic agents were: Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Proteus mirabilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella species, Streptococcus species. The patients with septic infection had significantly lower levels of beta-globulin, and higher values of Waaler-Rose or latex fixation test in comparison to patients without septic infection or without complications. CONCLUSION - Lethal septic infection may exist in rheumatoid arthritis without the classical clinical symptoms of sepsis, and clinically latent suppurative processes may be found at autopsy. The missed clinical diagnosis of a fatal complication is explained by the weak immune response and atypical clinical symptoms of elderly patients mainly treated with steroids and immunosuppressive drugs.]

[THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE DEPRESSIVE MOOD OF PARENTS AND THE BEHAVIOURAL PROBLEMS OF THE CHILD]
HAJNAL Ágnes, SUSÁNSZKY Éva, SZÁNTÓ Zsuzsa, CSOBOTH Csilla
[INTRODUCTION - In this article we analyze the relationships between behavior problems of adolescents and depressed mood of their parents based on literature review and on our own questionnaire surveys. METHODS - We present the data from two surveys conducted among Hungarian adolescents. The first survey was conducted among 1604 young women students, aged of 15-19 years. The second survey included 502 high school students in Budapest. Both surveys were aimed at the lifestyle, health behavior, risk behavior, and emotional state, as well as the social-economic status and family background of the adolescents. Data of both surveys were analyzed using the SPSS 8.0 statistical program package. The association between the mood category of mothers and fathers and the risk factors and emotional state indicators of their children were tested with χ2 tests, as well as the indicators of students whose parents were not treated for depression. RESULTS - Data from both surveys suggest that there are close relationships between the negative mood states of the parents and the behavior problems of their children, especially between the mood of mothers and the behavioral and emotional state of daughters. CONCLUSIONS - Our research data call attention to the phenomenon that girls react explicitly and quite sensitively to the mood state of their mothers while the boys' behavioral and emotional states are less responsive to their parents' mood. On the other hand, boys react more intensively to the emotional instability of their fathers than to the instability of their mothers.]
[THE PRACTICE AND PROBLEMS OF EVIDENCED BASED DRUG TREATMENT]
KERPEL-FRONIUS Sándor
[The organization, the budget and the practical delivery of modern healthcare are all based upon the sum of available evidences. However, in the individualized drug therapeutic decisions beside the external evidences the personal experience of the treating physician as well as the preferences and expectations of the patients must be represented with equal emphasis. Without the interaction of these three modern, patient oriented medicine is not conceivable. Evidenced based drug application is primarily based upon the results of prospective, randomized, controlled clinical trials. The individual experiences and the systematic observations represent the lowest level of the evidence hierarchy. The results of the clinical studies are expressed as the absolute difference of the results of the treated and control groups and as relative values relating the outcome of the experimental group to the control, respectively. In practice the easily interpretable term "number needed to treat" is widely used. It shows how many patients have to be treated relative to the control group in order to observe the expected therapeutic outcome in one case. The wealth of evidences cannot be efficiently used without systematization in the daily practice. Therefore, the data collected from the independent publications containing the primary evidences are subjected to a joint statistical evaluation. Thereafter, the results are combined in systematic reviews by independent experts following thorough weighting without prejudice. Then short summaries, more easily and rapidly digested by practicing physicians are made according to the same principle. They are restricted to the presentation of the problem, the tabulation of the summarized data and the conclusion. It is expected that in the future systems combining the electronically stored patient's data with external evidences making possible the patient oriented presentation of the sum and hierarchy of evidences will be extensively used.]
[BOUVERET'S SYNDROME]
KESZTHELYI László, FÓGEL Kristóf, VADINSZKY Péter, SÁVOLT Ákos, PŐCZE Balázs, BALOGH István
[INTRODUCTION - Gallstone ileus is a rare disorder among elderly population. The gallstone coming through a bilioenteral fistula into the gastrointestinal tract is stuck into the duodenal lumen causing ileus in approximately 0,5% of all cases. The syndrome is named after Bouveret, the first describer. CASE REPORT - Author present the case of 72 year old female patient with known cholelithiasis. Investigations proved existing cholelithiasis causing the patient abdominal pain one year before admission but she gave no consent to surgical intervention. An emergency admission to our department occurred after four days of abdominal pain and vomiting. The clinical status of the patient and abdominal X-ray examination suggested stomach evacuation disturbance. Double contrast barium swallow test and gastroscopy proved bowel obstruction caused by a gallstone. During surgery gastrotomy and the removal of gallstone was carried out. There were no postoperative complications and the patient was discharged home. CONCLUSION - Cholelithiasis should be resolved at any chosen time well before complications may occur. The simultaneous appearance of stomach evacuation problems and cholelithiasis should draw attention to this rare disease.]

[MR imaging of acute disseminated encephalomyelitis and multiple sclerosis in children. A review (in English language)]
PATAY Zoltán
[Inflammatory diseases of the central nervous system (CNS) are relatively rare in children, but their relevance to public health is considerable due to frequent and significant long term morbidity and even mortality. As in adults, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) and multiple sclerosis (MS) and their variants are the most common entities in this group of pathologies in the pediatric patient population. Recent efforts have focused on establishing standardized diagnostic criteria schemes to facilitate the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of these diseases, however especially with multiple sclerosis those have not been fully validated yet for disease occurring in children. In recent decades the role of MRI has been constantly increasing in the diagnostic work-up of suspected inflammatory diseases of the CNS as well as in the follow-up of patients with confirmed disease. Currently, MRI is the first-line diagnostic imaging modality in ADEM and MS and is fully integrated in the most widely used diagnostic criteria schemes, but it has a key role in clinical therapeutic research trials as well. This paper provides an update on the current concepts and strategies of MRI in inflammatory diseases of the CNS, as well as a review of the imaging semiology of the various disease entities and variants with emphasis on clinical and imaging particularities relevant to the pediatric patient population.]

A case with reversible neurotoxicity induced by metronidazole
EREN Fulya, ALDAN Ali Mehmet, DOGAN Burcu Vasfiye, GUL Gunay, SELCUK Hatem Hakan, SOYSAL Aysun
Background - Metronidazole is a synthetic antibiotic, which has been commonly used for protozoal and anaerobic infections. It rarely causes dose - and duration - unrelated reversible neurotoxicity. It can induce hyperintense T2/FLAIR MRI lesions in several areas of the brain. Although the clinical status is catastrophic, it is completely reversible after discontinuation of the medicine. Case report - 36-year-old female patient who had recent brain abscess history was under treatment of metronidazole for 40 days. She admitted to Emergency Department with newly onset myalgia, nausea, vomiting, blurred vision and cerebellar signs. She had nystagmus in all directions of gaze, ataxia and incompetence in tandem walk. Bilateral hyperintense lesions in splenium of corpus callosum, mesencephalon and dentate nuclei were detected in T2/FLAIR MRI. Although lumbar puncture analysis was normal, her lesions were thought to be related to activation of the brain abscess and metronidazole was started to be given by intravenous way instead of oral. As lesions got bigger and clinical status got worse, metronidazole was stopped. After discontinuation of metronidazole, we detected a dramatic improvement in patient's clinical status and MRI lesions reduced. Conclusion - Although metronidazole induced neurotoxicity is a very rare complication of the treatment, clinicians should be aware of this entity because its adverse effects are completely reversible after discontinuation of the treatment.
[MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING IN ABDOMINAL DIAGNOSTICS]
PALKÓ András
[Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays more and more important role in the abdominal imaging diagnostics since fast measurement sequences have become available making it possible to avoid movement artifacts and resulting in better quality and more informative images of the abdominal parenchymal organs and most segments of the gastrointestinal tract. The greatest advantage of MRI is that it is able to create images of adequate geometric resolution and excellent tissue characterization capacity without the use of ionizing radiation and iodinated contrast media. Today MRI is applied mostly in those cases when previous data suggest that computed tomography will not be informative or the results of recent imaging examinations (x-ray, ultrasound, computed tomography) do not provide sufficient diagnosis. Presumably MRI will be used with increasing frequency as the first or single best method of choice in the near future. Beased on these facts in abdominal diagnostics, MRI may be considered as a problem-solving modality which plays an outstanding role in the detection, differential diagnosis, staging and follow-up of many neoplastic and inflammatory lesions.]

[Xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis]
BERÉNYI Zsolt, MORVAY Zita, PALKÓ András
[INTRODUCTION - The xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis is a rare and benign form of lesions associated with diffuse thickening of the gall bladder wall. It is important to recognize it radiologically because it can be mistaken easily for gall bladder carcinoma. The characteristic US, CT and MR findings, however, may be helpful in the differential diagnosis. CASE REPORT - We present the cases of two middleaged female patients suffering from right upper quadrant, radiating abdominal pain for several weeks without occurrence of fever. In both patients, the ultrasound examination revealed marked thickening of the gall bladder wall containing hypoechoic nodules. Further, non-specific sign such as cholecystolithiasis and fine infiltration of the adipose tissue surrounding the gall bladder and dilatation of extrahepatic or intrahepatic bile ducts were visible. On the post contrast CT images, rim enhancement was detectable. MR/MRCP examination showed a sharp delineation of the gall bladder from the liver parenchyma. Both patients underwent cholecystectomy. The pathological examination excluded malignancy and confirmed the diagnosis of xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis. CONCLUSION - The characteristic features of xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis (hypoechoic xanthogranulomas in the markedly thickened gall bladder wall and the presence of calculi) can be detected by ultrasound examination. CT or MRI may play an important role in confirmation of the diagnosis of an inflammatory process and provide useful information in exclusion of gall bladder carcinoma.]

gay doesn´t mean that you have to act like a girl, it just mean that you love people of your same gender. Being this way means that your a human beings as well. We need support We need help We need to talk We need to express our feelings the way that the straight people do.
being gay does not mean we are pedophiles.
Back in the old days homosexuality was considered a mental illness. That was changed a long time ago, but that is where the idea of "sickness" came in.
You can add to the list that being gay does not mean we are pedophiles. An other thing is that straight people will notice the drag queens and the leather guys in chaps that stand out on Pride days because most of us just blend in with the rest.
I'll second that - never a truer word said!!!

NEWS ANALYSIS: Brazil's indifference to Amazon rainforest deforestation threatens global climate
Emily Nomberg, Staff Writer|January 10, 2020
Amazon rainforest deforestation is at its highest rate since 2008.
The rate of deforestation in the Amazon rainforest has reached its highest level since 2008. According to the National Public Radio, the deforestation rate has increased by almost 30 percent over the past year. The rainforest, located in Brazil, has been facing deforestation since Earth was created; however, its rates have become exceedingly high. According to studies done at Yale, about 3,769 square miles of the rainforest have been destroyed in the past year. Satellite images show that deforestation is a result of land clearing, wildfires, mining, and logging.
Putting what is happening into perspective for its audience, CNN reports that the current deforestation rate is equal to losing two football fields per minute,the most rapid deforestation rate in over a decade.
The globe is facing consequences due to the complications that have arisen. For example, the climate has been fluctuating, there has been flooding, fewer crops have been produced, and more greenhouse gases have been making their way into the atmosphere.
Many have stepped forward and offered help to Brazil. One of those being French president Emmanuel Macron. Macron offered Brazil $22 million in order to help control the wildfires in the Amazon. This offer caused political turmoil between Brazil and France. Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro demanded an apology from Macron as saw it as disrespectful for Macron to get involved in Brazil's affairs.
Bolsanaro does not see a problem with what is going on in the Amazon rainforest; instead, he thinks the deforestation will resolve itself. Due to Bolsanaro's seeming indifference to the problem, it is unlikely that Brazil will meet its goals outlined in the Paris Climate Accord of cutting its carbon emissions by 37 percent by 2025, and 43 percent by 2030. However, Brazil needs to resolve the issue sooner rather than later due to the fluctuating climate being a result of deforestation.
Because of the size of the Amazon rainforest, it is not just a concern for Brazil anymore, but also the rest of the world. As world leaders begin to get involved in the issue, Brazilian leaders will eventually need to accept their help to get the Amazon rainforest and the country of Brazil back on the right track.

"Bill Weiss, Small Paintings, 1998"
Bill Weiss's new paintings, with their ramshackle physicality strike us with their sense of urgent immediacy; they are forceful objects in spite of their delicacy of touch, their intimate scale, their painstakingly diversified surfaces which remain resolutely abstract while the use of pink and flesh tonalities suggest fleeting figural impulses. These paintings work on you slowly as the wind, the sea, and the trees; they become part of you if you give them time.
Consider Weiss's paintings as visual Haikus. This will give you the right approach: clear, formally precise, even contrived yet seemingly effortless and without guile. The intimately scaled paintings seem to want nothing from us, conveying the joy of being in the present, of capturing the lightness of the momentary in all its sublimity. What appears intensely authentic is the element of litheness that is twinned with an embedded mysteriousness. This combination gives each painting its charged aspect.
Weiss's pictorial strategy is to use color, line, and form anecdotally as actors that perform an enlivening function that occasionally suggests events and themes. There is a freshness to Weiss's overall efforts which is heralded by a touch of visual jocularity. This light humor arises out of a complex of associations irradiate all the paintings in various degrees.
To experience Bill Weiss's paintings, where freedom and intense self-absorption commingle, is to be confronted, then, with works filled with vibrant contradictions. Weiss's paintings have a vitality that stems from the artist's open-ended working process, his fresh compositions, the colors and textures that appear simultaneously unpremeditated yet controlled. Purported naïveté and refinement are ratcheted up to a high pitch. The results are small miracles filled with musically and freshness.

Q: Styling AngularJS ui-router navigation tabs I am rewriting an app using AngularJS. The tabs have a certain styling that I don't want to change. But upon using ui-router, specifically replacing "href" with "ui-sref", the look of navigation tabs gets messed up because I think the JavaScript and CSS is defined for "href".
I tried replacing all instances of href with ui-sref but that didn't work.
I've looked into Bootstrap but I need to render new pages upon clicking the tabs, not display data already on the page but hidden. Like Bootstrap does.
Can someone please suggest me what to do? How to modify the current styling or maybe suggest some other css template that I can use only for the navigation tabs? Thanks in advance!


I guess most traders go thru this cycle of frustration and learning. ZEN is a lifestyle and life long journey for Tibetan monks. If we expect to master emotions over a weekend course, it will result in disappointment and frustration. I think at some point we will have the wisdom to be patient and keep working at it .
Jorge, in my personal experience SIM trading only does few things, master your platform and methodology and provide statistics for the system. During the SIM period, I tracked all my trades, including the ones that I take and did not take as per the strategy on an excel sheet and came up with the statistics over a 3 month period of time. Eventually when I plotted this, I got a clear view on the statistics of my system. Please note, if you tweak the system in any way, you will skew the numbers and may not be accurate. Statistics will help you with developing trust in your system.
Bottom-line is SIM trading tells me the statistics for my system if it is executed as per the plan. I am able to execute SIM trading as per plan since emotions are not as high as in live trading. If you exhibit impulsive behavior in SIM trading or are unable to follow the plan, then this has to be addressed during SIM trading.
I never went back to SIM trading after this initial period. Instead, I traded very few contracts and worked on my emotions. If you dont have trust in your system backed by statistics, you will be tempted to tweak the system with few trades that result in a loss.
Working with beliefs will take time. It is a process where you start observing your thoughts and eventually tying it to an underlying belief. Rande ties the thoughts to Archetypes from Jungs method, which is pretty powerful in labeling and understanding the thoughts. I was amazed at the amount of negative thoughts I had and how I was fused with it, taking me for a ride. I am still working on this aspect, will provide an update in few months time.
Now my struggle is with myself . The reality is, trading gave me the opportunity to look at myself in a more meaningful way. I intent to continue and explore further in this path.
Merry Christmas and Wishing you a fantastic year ahead !!
Hoping you are enjoying a very happy Christmas and holidays along with your family.
Talking about my system, I have a lot of confidence on it. I also keep an excel spreadsheet with statistics of almost two years on how the markets move and the probabilities for these moves according to my strategies and setups. In fact, I keep writing the statistics day after day as part of my daily activities of the analysis I perform after trading hours.
All this has allowed me to master my trading skills while trading on SIM.
What I think is that I still do not trust or I still do not have enough confidence of my execution of the system while trading live, because of emotional arousal that turn out into physical sensations like sudden increase in the heart beat rate, sensations on my throat, stomach, chest and even headaches sometimes when my trade is taking too long.
As Mark Douglas classifies the trading styles in mechanic, discretionary and intutive, I will say that my system is a discretionary one. So, in the system we analyze how the market is moving and how we think it will move next in order to enter the trades, more than entering a trade because of a mechanical setup.
When I am trading on SIM, I even take higher risks setting a larger stop loss and letting the maret makes their moves before going to my target and most of the times they work out. Whereas, when I am trading live, I trade more not to lose than to win, since I also try to diminsh the risks as much as possible and many times not allowing the market to complete their moves before taking off into the direction of the trade I entered.
Although I also have to admit, that even trading on SIM, my ego sometimes enters into scene and I sometimes get frustrated when things do not work out right away the way I planned.
I know that Rande ties the thoughts to archetypes and in that way he classifies the core beliefs we have and that the essential part is to strengthen the Warrior, the Sage, the Ruler, the Magician and to convert the immature Orpahn into a mature one.
The thing that I still do not know is which would be the best way exactly on how to strengthen those needed archetypes in order to form the proper trading committee, so that the inner critic and the adapted voice do not take the main seats on the trading committee?

$cnv =(1-(floatval($sdo_total) /$mont_pagar)) *100;

pero me guarda otro numero ya que por ejemplo
si hago estos numeros en excel
Saldo total 53.120.55
monto a pagar 7900.00
=100%-(monto a pagar/saldo total)
y me da en excel %85

ahora lo que me da en php es lo siguiente
guardado

A: Estoy viendo que la configuración de tu equipo está mal
Saldo total 53.120.55

¿qué número es ese? Si estás pasando ese número, evidentemente va a estar mal todo, porque no se puede parsear en un número correcto, y si le pasas eso a la base de datos, te va a reventar, y los cálculos antes van a estar mal, etc. etc.
Por eso te digo que pongas el código completo, no solo fragmentos, de verdad es imposible ver cómo lo estás haciendo si solo pones líneas aisladas.

Oct. 131
Dear Sir:
I write to ask your kind offices in the following described matter:
I sent to Doolady2 six weeks ago an order
Mr. James Gray, Bookbinder 16 Spruce st. 4th floor, is the custodian of the sheets of my Leaves of Grass, & has been the binder for me. The sheets are now at his place.
I hear that he has become involved—in fact has failed. If so, I regret it much.3
I have been waiting now over six weeks for the fulfilment of orders I have sent him for bound books—& now, under that state of things, I suppose it will not be possible for him to do the work.
Dionysius Thomas was a New York City bookseller who apparently had copies of the first edition of Leaves of Grass (as Whitman told Gordon Lester Ford on August 23, 1867). However, by October 17, 1871, Whitman told an unidentified correspondent, "some time ago Dion Thomas, bookseller, 2d story, Fulton st. north side, about midway bet. Nassau and Broadway, had some copies of 1st edition Leaves of Grass—but whether he still has them to sell I cannot say[.]"
1. This draft letter is endorsed (by Whitman), "Dion Thomas | Nassau st. bet Beekman & Spru[ce]." Whitman crossed out the draft, and on the back wrote a series of notes labeled "Specimen Days."
In the Clifton Waller Barrett Collection at the University of Virginia, there is an envelope, postmarked October 16, addressed to: "Dion Thomas, | Bookseller, &c | Nassau street, bet. Beekman & Spruce, | New York City." [back]
2. Michael Doolady, a bookseller and publisher at 448 Broome Street in New York, was the publisher of Ada Clare's Only a Woman's Heart (1866). For Walt Whitman's correspondence with Doolady, see Whitman's letter of November 13, 1867. [back]
3. In 1888 Whitman spoke of "a history and a grief" in connection with the 1867 edition: "It was got up by a friend of mine, a young fellow, printed from type, in New York. One day I received the intelligence . . . that the place had been seized for debt. I received a portion of the books remaining—the most of them were lost" (Horace Traubel, With Walt Whitman in Camden [1906–1996], 2:257). [back]

Sustainable–smart–resilient–low carbon–eco–knowledge cities; making sense of a multitude of concepts promoting sustainable urbanization
De Jong, M., Joss, S. , Schraven, D., Zhan, C. and Weijnen, M. (2015) Sustainable–smart–resilient–low carbon–eco–knowledge cities; making sense of a multitude of concepts promoting sustainable urbanization. Journal of Cleaner Production, 109, pp. 25-38. (doi: 10.1016/j.jclepro.2015.02.004)
Over the last couple of decades, metropolitan areas around the world have been engaged in a multitude of initiatives aimed at upgrading urban infrastructure and services, with a view to creating better environmental, social and economic conditions and enhancing cities' attractiveness and competitiveness. Reflecting these developments, many new categories of 'cities' have entered the policy discourse: 'sustainable cities'; 'green cities'; 'digital cities'; 'smart cities'; intelligent cities'; 'information cities'; 'knowledge cities'; 'resilient cities'; 'eco cities'; 'low carbon cities'; 'liveable cities'; and even combinations, such as 'low carbon eco cities' and 'ubiquitous eco cities'. In practice, these terms often appear to be used interchangeably by policy makers, planners and developers. However, the question arises whether these categories nevertheless each embody distinct conceptual perspectives, which would have implications for how they are understood theoretically and applied in policy. In response, this article investigates, through a comprehensive bibliometric analysis, how the twelve most frequent city categories are conceptualised individually and in relation to one another in the academic literature. We hypothesize that, notwithstanding some degree of overlap and cross-fertilization, in their essence the observed categories each harbor particular conceptual perspectives that render them distinctive. This is borne out by the findings, which demonstrate robustly for the first time the conceptual differences and interrelationships among twelve dominant city categories. The 'sustainable city' is the most frequently occurring category and, in a map of keyword co-occurrences, by far the largest and most interconnected node, linked closely to the 'eco city' and 'green city' concepts. Recently, the more narrow concepts of 'low carbon city' and 'smart city' have been on the rise, judging by their frequency of occurrence in academic journals; the latter in particular appears to have become an increasingly dominant category of urban modernization policy. On their part, 'resilient city' and 'knowledge city' represent distinct concepts, albeit with comparatively low frequency. Overall, the findings point to the need for rigor and nuance in the use of these terms, not least if one wishes to comprehend their implications for urban development and regeneration policy and practice.

As a trade unionist, there's only one candidate for me: Tessa Jowell
Linda Perks, secretary of the London branch of the Trade Union and Labour Party Liason Organisation, explains why she's backing Tessa Jowell to win for London.

London is a wonderful city, but we can all see it has problems. The housing crisis, rising inequality, a transport system that too often feels like it doesn't work for us – the list goes on.
Labour politics is about putting our values into action – delivering real change for the people we came into politics to represent. So when I look at the London Mayoral contest, the question for me – as a long-standing trade unionist - is simple: who can deliver the change that London needs?
This week, a group of working people from across London have come together to establish Trade Unionists for Tessa. We come from a wide range of unions and represent every level of the movement, from former General Secretaries to new grassroots members. Tessa Jowell has brought us together because we know she can deliver the change that Londoners need.
Tessa's record of working with trade unions is second to none. As part of her focus on delivering the Olympics, Tessa agreed a progressive partnership with the construction unions – ensuring that the thousands of workers who built and delivered the games were well treated and properly rewarded, and setting new standards for apprenticeships, training and health and safety.
As minister for the Cabinet Office she chaired the Public Services Forum, which brought the Government, trade unions and employers together to address workforce issues and ensure that fairly paid and supported staff were able to deliver high-quality services with proper and sustainable funding.
Wherever you come from, our city is supposed to hold a simple promise – that this is a place where you can fulfil your ambitions and make a life. But for too many people, this promise is not being kept.
For most working people in London, the biggest barrier to achieving the life they want is finding an affordable place to live. Home ownership is increasingly out of reach in London's frenetic housing market, and standards in the private rented sector are falling while prices are going through the roof. And hundreds of thousands of people are languishing on social housing waiting lists. All of the other challenges facing London's workers – from low pay to lack of skills and opportunities – can be made intolerable by the housing crisis.
Londoners are suffering through a combination of the Government's indifference to the crisis, and the Mayor's inability to get a grip. We need a mayor who gets the scale of London's housing crisis, who knows what to do about it, and who can be trusted to deliver. That mayor is, without doubt, Tessa Jowell.
Tessa has a clear, deliverable plan to deal with the housing crisis. She will set up a new, TfL-style agency called Homes for Londoners which will get London building again for the first time since the 1980s – starting on the Mayor's own land. Homes for Londoners will use public land to build the homes Londoners need – including innovative 'rent to buy' homes which will help London workers get on the housing ladder, new social housing, and purpose-built private rented homes to ensure better standards in that sector.
Crucially, Homes for Londoners will invest in thousands of young people so they can develop the skills to work in the construction industry, through a major apprenticeship programme. This is part of Tessa's wider One London vision, which is about ensuring that everyone – no matter what their background – has the chance to share in London's success.
But politics isn't just about having plans and ideas – it's about winning, and getting things done. Tessa is by far the best candidate on both those fronts.
First – she can win next year for Labour. If the party loses again in 2016 it won't be able to do a thing for the Londoners that need it the most. It's clear that Tessa is best placed to beat the Tories – the latest poll puts her head and shoulders above the Conservative frontrunner. We cannot deliver for the people we got in to politics to represent unless we start winning elections again – and Tessa is the woman to do it.
Secondly, she is a real leader. Leadership is not just about talking about changing society – it's about actually getting things done. I know from personal experience that Tessa has that ability in spades. She has a natural empathy which gets people on her side, and ultimately helps her get things done.
I first met Tessa in 1995 when the then Conservative Government was seeking to break up the London Ambulance Service. This was an irrational proposal which would seriously weaken LAS's ability to provide an essential emergency service to the city.  Tessa sat on the Common's Health Select Committee and gave invaluable assistance to the ambulance unions in finding our way around Parliamentary systems to help us succeed in making our case to keep a single ambulance service for London.
I next met Tessa on 8 July 2005 when as Minister for London she pulled representatives of staff working for London's emergency services together to say thank you for their bravery and professionalism in responding to 7/7. It was clearly a very intense and fraught day for her but she made the time to meet people who had put their lives at risk for others in the course of their job and took the opportunity to ask their opinion on how the city's emergency systems could be improved for the future. She understands the workers in the front line matter as much as the management - a rare quality in a politician.
It's that combination of empathy and focus on delivery which is Tessa Jowell's trademark. People always talk about what Tessa did to win and deliver the Olympics and create Sure Start, but they are not exceptions - she's always focused on turning Labour values into action.
That's why I trust Tessa to deliver for working Londoners. We need a mayor who understands what London needs, and who knows how to bring about that change. Tessa can be that mayor, which is why more working people from across our city are joining Team Tessa every day.

Ortt calls on McMurray to renounce endorsement by Working Families Party
posted by Howard B. Owens in Nate McMurray, Rob Ortt, NY-27, news.
Today, New York State Senator Rob Ortt, Army combat veteran, and candidate for New York's 27th Congressional District is calling for Democrat and Working Families endorsed candidate, Nate McMurray, to give up his recent Working Families Party endorsement. Recently, the New York State Working Families Party called on candidates to "stop defending taxpayers," and stated that using the term "taxpayer" is racist.
"Our district is home to around 710,000 'taxpayers' who go to work every day to help support their families and build a better life," Ortt said. "The fact that a candidate for New York's 27th Congressional District would accept an endorsement from a political party that explicitly asked prospective candidates to avoid advocating for the taxpayers of our state is embarrassing.
"As elected officials, we are chosen by the taxpayers of our district to defend their best interests and do the will of the people. Any politician who accepts and endorsement from the Working Families Party clearly shows they have no interest in protecting hardworking taxpayers."
The Working Families Party, backed by progressive donors, recently stated in the party's 2020 questionnaire:
Messages that frame "taxpayers" as an aggrieved or marginalized group promotes an anti-tax, anti-government worldview that is often used to justify disinvestment and austerity policies. "Taxpayer" has also become a racially coded term designed to appeal to white individuals and reinforce the misconception that they are paying taxes to support the needs of people (often implied to be non-white) who don't pay taxes. Will you avoid messaging that centers "taxpayers" or "tax burdens" and instead talk about "public funding" and the public as a whole?
Just this week, Nate McMurray accepted the endorsement of the Working Families Party line. The New York State Working Families Party has already endorsed several other candidates for 2020, including for U.S. President (Elizabeth Warren), U.S. Congress (Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez), and Democratic candidates for the New York State Legislature. Ortt called on all candidates running for office to denounce the Working Families Party and refuse their support. McMurray did neither.
"By accepting this endorsement, it is clear that Nate has not prioritized representing the best interests of the constituents in New York's 27th Congressional District," Ortt said. "Either he is ignorant of the agenda that the New York State Working Families Party stands for, or he has full knowledge of the statements made by this group and has decided that advocating for 'taxpayers' is racist. Either one is unacceptable and I call on him to give up his endorsement by this radically socialist party."

"The constituents of NY-27 deserve better, and today provides us the opportunity to close this disappointing chapter and start fresh," said NY-27 candidate Rob Ortt. "This district deserves a faithful and hardworking conservative representing them in Congress, putting the needs of Western New York and America first. I believe I am the candidate best qualified to do so and it is my sincere hope that I'm afforded the opportunity to once again serve my country."
Rob Ortt releases radio ad for NY-27 campaign
posted by Howard B. Owens in Rob Ortt, NY-27, news.
Today, New York State Senator Rob Ortt, Army combat veteran, and candidate for New York's 27th Congressional District released a new radio ad highlighting his record as a battle-tested patriot who, like President Trump, has successfully fought back against false liberal attacks.
The advertisement, released in both Buffalo and Rochester, focuses on Ortt's successful fight against partisan attacks from corrupt former New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman. As he did to President Trump, Schneiderman falsely accused Ortt of politically motivated charges. Those charges were quickly laughed out of court by a Democrat judge. Meanwhile, Schneiderman resigned in disgrace after his history of abusive behavior toward women was exposed.
"President Trump has faced false attacks from the radical left since he first announced his campaign for President," Ortt said. "Since taking office, the President has had to fight back against countless liberal regressive witch hunts. I know what that's like because those same crooked politicians attacked me for my conservative values.
"I stood up to politically motivated attacks from the disgraced Eric Schneiderman and I won -- just as President Trump has done. Now, I want to go to Washington to fight by his side against this impeachment sham and help him advance the conservative agenda he was elected to enact."
Beginning on Jan. 13th the radio campaign highlighting Ortt's record as a battle-tested patriot will air on talk radio across the 27th Congressional District.
The radio advertisement can be heard here.
Ortt calls for more sanctions on Iran
posted by Howard B. Owens in NY-27, news, Rob Ortt.
Today, New York State Senator Rob Ortt, Army combat veteran and candidate for New York's 27th Congressional District, is calling for the State Legislature to take action on Senate Bill 5156, which would amend and strengthen the 2012 passage of the state's Iran Divestment Act. This legislation would amend the current language of the Iran Divestment Act, conforming current definitions to fit state law.
"New York shouldn't be investing in a country in the business of killing American citizens and military personnel or support a fundamentalist regime committed to wiping Israel off the map," Ortt said. "Rather than condemning the legitimate use of force in killing one of the leading architects of terrorism across the Middle East (Qasem Soleimani), Senate Democrats should send an unequivocal message that Iran's disturbing past and current aggression is wholly unacceptable.
"Senate Republicans prioritized and passed this important legislation for several years and it is time for Democrats to get on board and condemn this terror-sponsoring, American-killing, the anti-Semitic Iranian regime."
Ortt believes that Iran's mounting aggression and recent threats necessitate immediate action by New York lawmakers. Senate Republicans successfully passed this bill from 2015-2018, but Senate Democrats have yet to take it up for a vote. The bill memo and justification notes that Iranian leaders have repeatedly sought to target New York City should they acquire a nuclear weapon, putting at risk the health and safety of New Yorkers.
Ortt also contrasted the inaction on Iran with state and national Democrat calls to divest from Israel.
Statements released on killing of Major General Qasem Soleimani
posted by Howard B. Owens in NY-27, Chris Jacobs, Rob Ortt, news, Charles Schumer.
Statement from State Sen. Rob Ortt, candidate for NY-27:
"Soleimani and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Quds Force has long been a terrorist organization. They are directly responsible for hundreds of U.S. servicemember deaths in Iraq. Iran's goal has always been to destabilize Iraq and exert its influence in the Middle East. This strike eliminates one of the masterminds of those efforts."
Statement from State Sen. Chris Jacobs, candidate for NY-27:
"I applaud President Trump for taking decisive action yesterday to neutralize a long-standing terrorist threat - Iranian Gen. Qasem Soleimani, the head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' Quds Force. Soleimani was responsible for killing hundreds of American Soldiers and injuring countless more. The organization which he headed up (Quds Force) has been designated as a terror group since 2007 and this past spring Sec. Pompeo designated him a terrorist. The airstrike which killed him is another example of President Trump's strong leadership in confronting Iran's continued perpetration of state-sponsored terrorism and President Trump continues to stand for freedom and justice on the global stage."
Statement from Sen. Chuck Schumer:
U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer today spoke on the Senate floor regarding the airstrike in Iraq against Major General Qasem Soleimani. Below are Senator Schumer's remarks:
Last night, the United States conducted a military operation designed to kill Major General Qasem Soleimani, a notorious terrorist. No one should shed a tear over his death.
The operation against Soleimani in Iraq was conducted, however, without specific authorization and any advance notification or consultation with Congress. I am a member of the Gang of Eight, which is typically briefed in advance of operations of this level of significance. We were not.
The lack of advanced consultation and transparency with Congress was put in the Constitution, or rather the need for advanced consultation and transparency with Congress, was put in the Constitution for a reason: because the lack of advanced consultation and transparency with Congress can lead to hasty and ill-considered decisions. When the security of the nation is at stake, decisions must not be made in a vacuum. The framers of the Constitution gave war powers to the legislature and made the executive the commander-in-chief for the precise reason of forcing the two branches of government to consult with one another when it came to matters of war and of peace.
It is paramount for administrations to get an outside view to prevent groupthink and rash action—to be asked probing questions, not from your inner and often insulated circle but from others, particularly Congress, which forces an administration, before it acts, to answer very serious questions.
The administration did not consult in this case, and I fear that those very serious questions have not been answered and may not be fully considered.
Among those questions:
What was the legal basis for conducting this operation? And how far does that legal basis extend?
Iran has many dangerous surrogates in the region and a whole range of possible responses. Which response do we expect? Which are most likely?
Do we have plans to counter all of the possible responses? How effective will our counters be?
What does this action mean for the long-term stability of Iraq and the trillions of dollars and thousands of American lives sacrificed there?
How does the administration plan to manage an escalation of hostilities? And how does the administration plan to avoid a larger and potentially endless conflagration in the Middle East?
These are questions that must be answered.
It is my view that the president does not have the authority for a war with Iran. If he plans a large increase in troops and potential hostility over a longer time, the administration will require Congressional approval and the approval of the American people.
The president's decision may add to an already dangerous and difficult situation in the Middle East.
The risk of a much longer military engagement in the Middle East is acute and immediate. This action may well have brought our nation closer to another endless war, exactly the kind of endless war the president promised he would not drag us into.
As our citizens and those of our allies evacuate Iraq and troops prepare for retaliatory action, Congress needs answers, to these questions and others, from the administration immediately.
And the American people need answers as well.
Ortt calls on McMurray, Democrats to distance themselves from Working Families Party
Today, New York State Senator Rob Ortt, Army combat veteran, and candidate for New York's 27th Congressional District criticized the New York State Working Families Party for calling on candidates to "stop defending taxpayers." Ortt called on Nate McMurray and all Democrats running for office to publicly declare that they will not seek the Working Families Party line in an election, and to publicly denounce this ridiculous statement.
"New York's 27th Congressional District is home to hundreds of thousands of 'taxpayers' who work hard every day to support their families," Ortt said. "In fact, these taxpayers pay the highest taxes in the country and are forced to fund the radical proposals from groups like the Working Families Party including free college tuition and driver's licenses for illegal aliens.
"Any politician who can't speak out in opposition to these absurd comments from the Working Families Party does not deserve to represent the hardworking taxpayers in any elected position."
The Working Families Party, backed by progressive donors, often aligns itself with candidates running as Democrats. In the party's 2020 questionnaire, they state:
The New York State Working Families Party has already endorsed several candidates for 2020, including for U.S. President (Elizabeth Warren), U.S. Congress (Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez), and Democratic candidates for the New York State Legislature. In 2018, Nate McMurray ran for Congress on the Working Families Party line. Ortt called on all candidates running for office to denounce the Working Families Party and refuse their support.
"This is an absolute insult to every overtaxed working family throughout New York," Ortt said. "Anyone who seeks the Working Families Party support is clearly stating that they do not work for the men and women they are elected to represent, but rather a political party tasked with fulfilling the agenda of out-of-touch special interest groups and extreme regressive advocates."
Ortt endorsed in NY-27 by builders association
Today, New York State Senator Rob Ortt, Army combat veteran, and candidate for New York's 27th Congressional District announced that he has received the endorsement of the Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC).
"I am honored to have the endorsement of the more than 20,000 hardworking men and women represented by the Associated Builders and Contractors," Ortt said. "I am proud to have had the support of this organization in the past, and I have always believed that America is a nation of builders.
"During my time in the New York State Senate, I have worked diligently to support pro-business, worker-friendly policies that make construction projects safer and less costly, and I will continue to do so when serving the hardworking men and women of New York's 27th Congressional District in Washington. The American economy is working when these men and women are working."
ABC represents more than 20,000 members of the national construction trade industry, helping individuals win work and deliver work safely, ethically, and profitably for the betterment of the communities in which they are located.
"The Empire Chapter supports fair and open competition, not politicians who favor rewarding campaign donors at the expense of every day New Yorkers," said Brian Sampson, president of Associated Builders and Contractors, Empire State Chapter. "Rob Ortt not only understands the importance of free enterprise and job creation but is a leader on the issue.
"He has seen first-hand the negative impact of tax burdens and poor regulatory policy decisions. ABC is proud to stand with Rob and share his vision to bring jobs and opportunity to hardworking families throughout our great nation."
Ortt attacks House vote to hold impeachment inquiry
Press release from the NY-27 campaign of Sen. Rob Ortt:
"Today's house resolution vote was nothing more than a partisan attack on a sitting president going into the 2020 election.
The only platform of Democrats is, and for the last three years has been, impeaching President Trump.
This vote only serves as a distraction from the fact that Democrats have not done anything for middle-class Americans.
These types of actions do nothing but further separate an already divided nation and create animosity amongst everyday Americans.
I am running for Congress to help put an end to this partisan witch hunt, and help our President do the job the American people elected him to do."

Ortt announces for NY-27 primary, says Trump needs 'battle-tested patriot' in DC to back his agenda
posted by Howard B. Owens in Rob Ortt, NY-27, news, batavia, notify.
Sen. Rob Ortt on Saturday, in announcing his run for the NY-27 congressional district, hung his star -- his Bronze Star -- on his military service and what he said are his conservative credentials as a "battle-tested warrior."
It's a phrase he is using on his campaign signs, he used in his speech and in his remarks to the media after his announcement.
Ortt came to Batavia, which he said is the heart of the district, and made his announcement in front of City Hall, where just a month ago, Medal of Honor winner David Bellavia received the Key to the City.
"This really is the heart of the district," Ortt said. "We wanted to make a point, we wanted to be here in Genesee County, in Batavia, because if you think about Genesee County, Orleans County, Livingston, Wyoming even parts of Ontario, it's rural New York. It's rural America.
"Those are the values that we talk about all the time that we're losing in places like Albany and Washington, D.C. These are values that our party talks about defending all the time. And I think it's important that you are actually where those folks live. This is the heart of the district in my opinion."
Ortt talked at length about his decision to serve in the military after 9-1-1 and take part in the War on Terror and what his service meant to him.
"I was lucky to return home to Meghan and my family but I wear a constant reminder on my wrist of four of my brothers in arms who were not so lucky," Ortt said. "That is what motivates me and inspires me to this day. These men and countless others died for an idea that we refer to as America. My commitment to that idea did not end when I took off my uniform."
Ortt said he is fully committed to defending President Donald Trump, that he wants to go to Washington to support the president's agenda. He said he supports tighter border security, accused Democrats of being for "open borders," and said he wants to build a wall along the Southern border.
"I deployed to the Southern border as part of Operation Jumpstart," Ortt said. "I know what our Border Patrol is up against. We need to build the wall. We need to increase funding for border security of all kinds. And we need to close the loopholes that are allowing people to cut the line and waltz in here consequence-free."
Ortt said Democrats in Washington are pushing a radical agenda and he wants to go there and fight it.
"Albany, and by extension New York State, is a stark warning to the rest of the country," Ortt said. "We already know here what the Democratic Socialist agenda is: Higher taxes. Open borders. Driver's licenses for illegal immigrants. Unionization of our farms. Abortion on demand, more rights for criminals, and more gun control for our law-abiding gun owners."
Ortt said he has been named through multiple years the most conservative member of the Senate and that he is experienced in standing up to Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
"I will do the same to the extreme radical Speaker of the House," Ortt said. "You all know who I'm talking about. She runs the Democratic policy agenda and she has never seen a camera she doesn't like. And she's a New Yorker.
"Her name is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. She has a couple of deputies, too: Nancy Pelosi and her America-hating squad members Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib. I look forward to meeting all of them."
Earlier in his speech, Ortt accused some Democrats of hating America and said, "If you don't love this country, you're free to leave. Our borders work both ways."
After these statements and statements about how well he believes the country is doing under Trump, Ortt said, "So if you hadn't guessed it, I support President Trump. And I'm not afraid to talk about his agenda and all the good that I believe he's doing for this country."
He concluded his speech with, "I am Robert Ortt. I'm a conservative warrior. I'm a battle-tested patriot and I will never back down from the fight. I'm not running for Congress to have a seat at the table. I'm running for Congress to flip the table over."
At no time during his speech did he mention the incumbent congressman, Chris Collins, who is facing a House ethics investigation and a federal trial on insider trading charges and has yet to announce whether he will seek reelection. Asked about Collins after his speech, Ortt said he is committed to the race and will run in a primary against Collins should Collins decide to try and retain his seat.
"This race is wide open and I think it's so important that we have a strong conservative veteran voice, a battle-tested leader, in this race," Ortt said. "I think it's important for the people of this district and I think it's important for our country for our president."
Also left out of Ortt's comments were the names Chris Jacobs, Beth Parlato, and David Bellavia. Neither Jacobs nor Parlato have yet to make a public appearance in Batavia, but both are running in the primary election on June 2020. And while there is a "Draft David Bellavia" movement among a group of Republicans in the district, Bellavia has remained neutral on political questions since receiving the Medal of Honor. He is currently serving the Army in publicity and recruiting capacity and is prohibited from making statements about his political plans. It's unclear when his status will change and what his intentions might be toward the seat.
The video contains Ortt's full remarks, including the discussion with reporters after the event.
After Ortt's announcement, Jacobs released the following statement:
"I want to welcome my friend Rob Ortt to the campaign for New York's 27th district. As a conservative who has created jobs, I'm running for Congress because our community needs a fighter for small businesses who can help President Trump enact better trade deals and stop the illegal immigration crisis. I intend to run an issues-based campaign focused on my record protecting taxpayers, cutting fees and defending the 2nd amendment and I welcome Rob to that conversation."
Sen. Rob Ortt schedules press conference in Batavia tomorrow regarding NY-27 race
posted by Howard B. Owens in Rob Ortt, NY-27, news, notify.
Sen. Rob Ortt, who represents Tonawanda and surrounding areas in Albany, has scheduled a press conference tomorrow to discuss the NY-27 congressional race.
The media advisory does not explicitly say he is planning to announce a primary challenge to Rep. Chris Collins.
Collins, facing a federal indictment on insider trading charges and a House ethics investigation, while maintaining his innocence, has been noncommittal about whether he will seek reelection.
That has kept many potential challenges, including Assemblyman Steve Hawley, on the sidelines.
Hawley reiterated today, "As I have always maintained, we have an incumbent congressman. I will make a decision once his status is known."
Assuming Ortt, a NY Army National Guard veteran who served in Afghanistan and earned a bronze star in combat, enters the race, he will join two other candidates in the primary field against Collins. The other candidates, who have yet to make a publicly announced visit to Batavia, are Chris Jacobs and Beth Parlato.
In the past few months, Ortt has paid a bit of attention to Genesee County, hosting a public forum in Batavia on the farm labor bill and visiting a farm in Corfu, where he first shared a possible interest in running for this congressional seat.
While there is an effort to convince Medal of Honor recipient and Batavia resident David Bellavia to enter the race, Bellavia has taken no public position on the race and is maintaining a busy schedule with the Army to promote service to community and country.

If Rep. Collins runs for reelection, he could face primary challenges from Ortt and Hawley
posted by Howard B. Owens in Rob Ortt, chris collins, NY-27, news, notify.
If Rep. Chris Collins, dogged by ethics and criminal investigations, decides to run for reelection in 2020, he could face a primary challenge from fellow Republicans, including Sen. Rob Ortt, who visited Reyncrest Farms in Corfu this morning.
"I'm going to make my decision based on my own discussions with my wife, discussions with my family and friends and people I trust, and will do what I think is best for the district," Ortt said. "Obviously, I've got to make the decision that that's right for Rob Ortt, where I think I can serve best to be a voice on issues that matter to me whether it's in the State Senate or in the U.S. House of Representatives.
"So, you know, we'll make that determination on our own timeline. Obviously, probably sooner rather than later, but we're going to make that decision of on our own timeline apart from whatever other people may do."
Other people, of course, includes Collins, who told The Batavian three weeks ago that he has yet to decide whether he would run for reelection.
Collins is facing a Federal court trial on charges stemming from an alleged insider trading conspiracy. Collins, along with co-defendants Cameron Collins and Stephen Zarsky, is accused of securities fraud, wire fraud, and making false statements to FBI agents.
Besides the criminal case, a House of Representatives Ethics Committee is also looking into his conduct involving his holdings in Innate Therapeutics.
Other people mounting a primary challenge would also include State Sen. Chris Jacobs, who reportedly announced his intention this morning to run against Collins, and Batavia-resident Assemblyman Steve Hawley.
Reached by text message this afternoon, Hawley said he is indeed considering challenging Collins, depending on the situation with Collins.
"I'm strongly considering it," Hawley said.
Another Batavia resident, combat veteran David Bellavia is also considered a potential candidate. Bellavia has yet to respond to a text message asking him about his intentions for 2020.
Ortt, himself also a combat veteran, said his decision will come entirely independent of what Collins decides to do.
"He's got to do what he thinks is right," Ortt said. "Again just like me, he will do what he thinks is right for himself, for his family and given his situation, but he also has a responsibility to do what's right for the district.
"If he does not think he can serve this district in an effective way, then I think the right thing would be at some point to make a determination to step aside and let someone else come in."
Collins narrowly beat Nate McMurray in the 2018 election and McMurray seems to be a likely Democratic contender in 2020. We asked Ortt, given a potentially strong Democratic candidate and the legal and ethical issues facing Collins, if Collins should step aside and Ortt said he would never suggest to Collins, or any other potential candidate, that he not run.
"This is America," Ortt said. "There will be a lot of people I imagine that might jump into this race. If (Collins) thinks he can make an effective argument of why he should be retained as the congressman, I would welcome that as much if I was in the race as anything.
"I'm not going to say one person should run or should not run because ultimately the people of the 27th District, particularly Republican voters in a primary, they're going to make that determination about who they think can effectively, not only defend the president's agenda or defend the agenda that's important to this district, but also represent them in a way that they think they'd be proud of."
UPDATE 3:50 p.m.: We heard back from David Bellavia. He is considering a run for Congress in the 27th. "Not afraid of primaries," Bellavia said in a text message. "Especially ones involving Rep. Collins and Senator Jacobs."
UPDATE 5:34 p.m.: Statement from Nate McMurray on the possibility of a primary challenge to Collins:
"It's understandable that some would see an opportunity in Collins' legal predicament, but let's not pretend that Collins was an effective leader prior to that. Our grassroots network has been fighting for the people of the 27th Congressional District well before his indictment last August and never stopped.
"I think it's unfortunate that anyone would evaluate running in this district based on personal political gain, or in order to keep it in Republican hands. Hyper-partisanship is the last thing the people of Western New York need right now and the voters here confirmed that last November by reelecting Collins by a mere .37%. The district went purple and people crossed party lines. It shows that business-as-usual will no longer fly. We will continue to prepare for whatever comes next, and look for opportunities to bring people together."

MESSAGE from GS/NFIR – Meeting of the Committee set up to examine feasibility of implementation of recommendations of 7th CPC for revision of pension of pre-2016 pensioners.
Sub: Meeting of the Committee set up to examine feasibility of implementation of recommendations of 7th CPC for revision of pension of pre-2016 pensioners-reg.
Responding to the invitation extended by the Secretary (Pension) Ministry of Personnel, PG & Pension, DoP&PW; thc JCM leaders participated in the discussions on the issue of implementation of Option l, recommended by the 7th CPC which is main recommendation for revising the Pension of Pensioners and to give them satisfaction.
During discussions, the JCM (Staff Side) insisted that the pay Commissions recommendations as already accepted by the Government should be implemented.
After discussion it was decided to have another meeting on 17th October 2016. The President NFIR, Shri Guman Singh participated in the meeting held on 06th October 2016.
CGHS facility /Hospital may pl.be provided at Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh.Being the constituency of Prime Minister Sri Narendra Modi ,this facility may be provided on priorty.
Sir,I am upset at present service activities. Unless GoI takes favourable defence pension decision for active soldiers fighting day and night.
Why a special treatment for a constituency just because it is held by a VIP politicians. Facilities must be extended everywhere on principles of equality and fair play.
is prime minister not doing anything for his consituency as promised before election? why special treatment for varansi as why not to other town?
In addition to stressing for the acceptance of the option 1 as an already accepted one, our Association could also bring out the feasibility of building up of the records of those pensioners for whom the records could be unavailable or incomplete etc., as per established practices and on that score, rejecting the recommendation would be a gross injustice to the pre 2016 pensioners. It could be relatively a small number whose records would be incomplete/missing and should not be considered as a major constraint for non-acceptance of the same.

Roxbury High students built a house in the school parking lot. Now it's time to move it
ROXBURY — Roxbury High School students built a three-bedroom home in the school's parking lot. It's now time to move it to its permanent location.
As a novel two-year project nears completion, students, school and township officials, local-business supporters and the Morris County affiliate of Habitat for Humanity gathered Monday behind the high school at the parking-lot construction site of a modular house that will be moved to a lot across town next week.
The three-bedroom, two-bath modular ranch was constructed by Frank Caccavale's Structural Design and Fabrication course. Seeking to give his students a unique hands-on learning experience, Caccavale approached Morris Habitat in 2019 about partnering on a home build right at the school.
The class of 2021 got it started. By Monday, 17 more students had completed the two separate portions of the home, which will be lifted by cranes onto flatbed trucks next week for the 6-mile trip across town to its permanent address on Edith Road.
Partnering with Habitat, Caccavale turned to the local business community for additional help. Supplies such as roofing materials, for example, came from the GAF Roofing Academy in Parsippany. Local contractors and developers also contributed their expertise to help the students during the build.
"Recognizing that I couldn't possibly know all aspects of construction, we brought in an expert from the roofing academy," said Caccavale, who describes himself mostly as "a traditional woodshop teacher."
There were also others.
"George our plumber, Matt our electrician, Matt taught us insulation. So many others, so the kids really did learn," Caccavale said.
Continues below gallery
On Monday the students offered tours of the 1,044-square-foot home. The walls, windows, floors, wiring and interior plumbing are completed, as is the roofing and exterior vinyl siding. Cabinets are scheduled to be installed prior to the move.
The students had to develop construction skills and learned to navigate supply-chain issues that slowed the project at times, especially during the peak of the COVID pandemic.
"They are not necessarily going to take this course and know how to build a home right away," Caccavale said. "But they are going to be able to know what aspects they like and can decide, 'Is plumbing a career path for me?' That's super valuable for an 18-year-old to know."
Senior Elliott Brown said he plans "to be in the trades" working as a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning technician.
"I enjoyed this class because you get to bring a house to people in need, with your friends, that's awesome," Brown said.
Classmate Corey Smith plans to be a crane operator for Local 825. "I enjoyed this class because I've learned a lot that I would not have learned in a normal class."
But the class also includes students on their way to four-year colleges. Clayton Bryan, a Mount Arlington resident plans to become a cardiac surgeon. He said he took the course because he's "the type of person that likes to experience a lot of things. This summer I'm taking a firefighter course."
As an added treat, the students announced their alma mater has been accepted as the first student chapter in the United States to gain admission into the National Association of Home Builders.

"We are thrilled to have Roxbury High School as part of our organization," said Don Dryness of Main Street Custom Homes in Succasunna, and a graduate of the school. "Way to go, guys!"
Morris Habitat COO Liz DeCoursey said this particular home build, one of 123 the nonprofit has undertaken, was originally planned as a duplex, but was adjusted "to a single-family home so we can have this three-way partnership between the township, Morris Habitat and the high school."
The students are expected to join other Habitat volunteers on the site in July to complete the final details.
The family that will take ownership of the home will be announced next week, and is expected to move in August or September.

Born into an ultra-Orthodox family in Israel, Alex left home when she was 12 because she had been abused by her father. He was put behind bars and she was placed in an institution for at-risk youth, a place she feared would limit her chances to succeed. But she did.
Yana is a young Jewish professional in her twenties living in St. Petersburg, Cleveland's sister city in Russia. Passionate about helping her community, Yana wanted to do something about the poverty affecting the Jews in her city, but she could hardly raise any funds.
It is the mark of a special relationship where both parties take the time to show support for each other and learn from one another. Last week, the special relationships between Israel and the United States grew even stronger with the visit of three members of Knesset to Cleveland.
Late in the afternoon on October 13th, 1998 my parents called me and my older sister into our family room. My father said: "something has happened. Itamar was murdered." This was the first time I had ever heard the word 'murdered' in proximity to the name of someone close to me".

Natalie and Joe wanted something different for their wedding portraits. They came to the right place at Neal Urban Studio for that! They had a rustic style theme for their wedding at Pearl at the Webb in downtown Buffalo. Besides rustic style photos, they also liked industrial. This was going to be a fun challenge.
They wanted to stop at Buffalo Outer Harbor at some point for some wedding party shots. We threw out the idea of going to the grain elevators. They were not too far from the harbor and it would be a really cool location. They loved the idea.
We only took the bride and groom out at this location, because we knew we maybe should not be there. We didn't see any signs though. Neal scoped out the area first. He did find a door that was open to sneak into an actual grain elevator too!
This image was done outside. The grain elevators were behind the couple. Natalie and Joe had a beautiful connection. They photographed so well too. They could pose and they knew how to have fun. We really like this up close shot of the bride and groom. They had the best smiles!
The better connection the couple has the better the images will turn out. Once all the nerves are gone people feel a lot more relaxed too for photos! There were no nerves for this bride and groom though!
