Six Things to Watch in the Alternative Energy Market This Year
Esther D'Amico
It could be argued that 2013 was the year that Superstorm Sandy made state and local governments along the Eastern Seaboard take a closer look at alternative energy systems. Thousands of tristate households lost power due to the storm, a situation that some of those same households faced in major prior-year storms. Even as Congress continues deliberations over long-term tax reform, which may include certain alternative energy subsidies, analysts say that Sandy has given a significant boost to programs aimed at finding ways to make sure the lights stay on when adverse weather hits.

The following is a brief update on how some key alternative energy sectors could fare this year:
With 1,147 megawatts of installed photovoltaic capacity, New Jersey is far ahead of other states in the region, and even nationally. By year-end 2012, it ranked third in the U.S. behind sunny California and Arizona, according to the Solar Energy Industries Association. That is largely due to the state's solar renewable energy credits trading program and other state and local incentives, analysts say.
But installations dropped last year due to an ongoing oversupply in the credit trading market and an influx of cheap natural gas, says Carrie Cullen Hitt, the association's senior vice president of state affairs. By the third quarter of 2013, New Jersey fell to sixth place in the group's national ranking, but it is on track to boost capacity in place by 2025, she adds.
New York, which ranks 12th nationally with 119.4 MW, has new or planned incentives to help grow its solar power supply, Cullen says. These include the state's NY-Sun Competitive Photovoltaic Program, which recently received $30 million in funding earmarked for both solar and biogas projects.
Wind energy producers say they are keeping a close eye on the congressional debates over tax reform. At stake is the federal production tax credit, which expired last year for wind, biomass energy and other alternative power sources. It was last renewed in January 2013 with a change allowing projects that began construction that year to qualify. The American Wind Energy Association is focusing on tax reform, given that extending the credit "isn't likely to move while tax reform is active and being discussed" in Washington, says Rob Gramlich, senior vice president of public policy.
The federal tax credit, state renewable portfolio standards or credits, and other incentives have helped drive growth in the bioenergy market, says Mackinnon Lawrence, a principal research analyst at Navigant Research, San Francisco. Even so, the bioenergy market is "pretty attractive" in the Northeast with many utility regulators and state governments providing incentives, he says. New York and New Jersey are major leaders in the digester, biogas and waste-to-energy sectors "because they don't have a lot of space," Lawrence says.
Like other markets, this sector is negatively affected by cheap gas prices, but Lawrence still expects growth. "Bioenergy is a growing trend nationwide," he says.
With many fuel cell manufacturing operations and several incentive programs in place, Connecticut recently became home to North America's largest operating fuel cell installation, a 14.9-MW, five-plant park in Bridgeport developed for Dominion Resources Inc.
A spokesman for FuelCell Energy Inc., which completed the installation in December, says it is the second-largest worldwide behind a 59-MW installation in South Korea. He says that U.S. investment in this market is growing, thanks in part to its reliability in all weather conditions.
That is an important factor for the region and Connecticut, in particular, which cites massive power outages from Sandy and other storms as part of its reason for ramping up renewable energy investments.
While the U.S. geothermal market lost some steam last year, Washington, D.C.-based trade group Geothermal Energy Association says that new technology developments will help push it forward.
Projects in the tristate region include one by developer and owner JCS Construction Group at a Greenwich, Conn., mixed-use building site. JCS received approval last year to drill 12 geothermal wells, each 500 ft deep, below the building. It is one of 60 geothermal projects in the state, according to local news reports.
As global warming issues are addressed, geothermal power's ability to replace baseload fossil fuels will fulfill state renewable portfolio standard requirements and meet federal environmental standards, said Karl Gawell, association executive director, in a statement.
Of the top five states with the most installed microgrid capacity, New York ranks second and Connecticut is third, says Peter Asmus, a Navigant principal research analyst.
Connecticut, however, became the first state nationwide last year to launch a microgrid pilot program, which establishes small energy centers powered by natural-gas-powered turbines, fuel cells, solar power or other combinations of energy sources. The microgrids can be connected to the region's primary grid but can disconnect and operate independently should the main utility lose power. New Jersey recently announced a similar microgrid program, Asmus says.
According to Asmus, the best microgrid markets in the U.S. are in Washington, D.C., and in northeastern coastal cities because of the potential for "big storms." "The technology has begun to move into the mainstream," he adds.

2002 Mammoth Discovery
A 1,100,000 year old Mammoth is the largest of thousands of specimens uncovered by the diligently trained paleontology volunteers spearheading a remarkable effort to discover and preserve the fossil record of the Borrego Badlands.
By James F. Landers, originally published 2003
Peering east over the Anza-Borrego I see dull brown and dusty khaki in shimmering waves over the barren desert and parched badlands, chalk-white sand and thorny cholla cactus. The inhospitable character of this place is evident: hot, dry, prickly.

In the same place, however, George Jefferson sees a broad, grassy savannah latticed by gentle streams and strewn with woodlands of willow and cottonwood, an arid, subtropical world populated by grazing herds of mammoth elephants, zebra-like horses, camels, llamas, giant tortoises, ground sloths, short-faced and spectacled bears, wolves, saber-toothed cats and much more. No one living has ever seen these animals, but that is what their million-year-old bones say to paleontologists like Jefferson. His vision of this past world teeming with marvelous life, where now there is only withered wasteland, is part of what drives his organization of paleo volunteers in their quest to learn how to locate, identify, collect and preserve the fossil bones, and the wealth of valuable information associated with them in the earth.
Paleolandscape by John Francis, from Fossil Treasures of the Anza-Borrego Desert
On a Friday in March of 2002, that vision led a group of us to the resting place of a young mammoth interred perhaps 800,000 years ago in the Borrego badlands.
Friday We Found a Mammoth
Sixteen Anza-Borrego Desert State Park® (ABDSP) paleo volunteers set forth from Borrego Springs, east of San Diego, that Friday morning in 4-wheel-drive trucks and SUVs, for the Badlands. The field trip was one of several scheduled routinely each month between curation and lab work; our leader was 60-year-old staff paleontologist George Jefferson – who in the office is never far from a thermos of coffee, and in the field favors dress shirts open at the collar under his full gray beard, and a field lunch of canned sardines. I was issued a digital camera and instructed to accompany and bear witness. Our objective was to survey some areas not yet visited, blank areas on Jefferson's maps of fossil sites plotted with coordinates from global positioning satellites (GPS).
Bouncing along for several miles after leaving the highway, we passed dunes and low hills rutted by dirt bikes and dune buggies, crossed into a state park area closed to vehicular traffic, then entered narrow washes that lead into still more narrow arroyos, until we were inching along between vertical sand embankments barely far enough apart to pass a jeep. Finally we arrived at a point beyond which we would go by foot. The hiking equipment, surveying instruments, and digging tools were unpacked, heads counted and teams assigned, and water and whistles checked, then we were off.
Single-file we climbed to the top of a narrow, reddish-brown sandstone ridge, and along precarious crests on foot-wide trails of reddish powder ground from the parched crust by the boots of past teams of paleo volunteers. All around us the earth was cut into deep, wrinkled arroyos by streams of white sand, and ridge after folded ridge drifting off into a haze of windblown desert dust called to mind imagery of desolate moonscapes.
We descended from the ridges and tracked into a labyrinth of arroyos too deep to see the sun. I lost all sense of direction, but many of these volunteers know their way around these badlands as well as they know how to get from their refrigerator to their front porch at home. The teams split up; one scrambled up the nearest wash, the other up the adjacent wash.
Before long a whistle blew out of the nearest wash, calling for photo and GPS support. Volunteer Richard Caputo had found a fragment of an unidentified scapula. Shortly afterwards, another whistle blew further up the same wash where volunteer Melinda Trizinsky had found two horse teeth, weathered square-inch blocks about three inches long, just beyond a scatter of bone fragments flowing down a nearby slope. Spirits began to rise noticeably – the excitement was catching, and people began burbling about "horse tooth city," and how they'd not seen any specimens at all the last time out.
Another whistle blew, this time from the direction of an adjacent wash. And it blew again, and again. Someone was really excited now. Photo and GPS support trooped back down out and over to the wash, past a bone scatter beside the streambed, over a fall of sandstone blocks across the channel, and into a narrow passage in places sixty or so feet high and only a few feet wide. At intervals under the sandy ledge beside the dry stream, volunteers gingerly brushed dust from protruding bone fragments. Further up the wash volunteer Scott Heid, a tall and slender import to California from Pennsylvania, stood before his discovery: the tusk of a small mammoth, embedded in the sandstone wall above the streambed. A chunk of tusk just under four inches in diameter protruded from the wall about five inches, and just behind it a length of the same-diameter tusk was exposed in the wall for about sixteen inches before disappearing into the ledge, where the rest of the specimen may possibly be buried

Scott had followed a pale gray-green layer of silty sandstone flecked with tiny carbonate nodules. His recent training in a volunteer paleo class led him to wonder if the greenish layer was formed in a swampy pond, stream or lakebed. Such places often accumulate bones washed into a stream course. He came upon a curious conglomeration of white particles arrayed across a ledge, which turned out to be concretions of skull fragments, and when he turned back down the wash he saw the tusk.
This mammoth's remains were discovered in the spring. Groups of volunteers have been making the trek to the site most Fridays to complete the painstaking process of removing rock from around the tusks.
District Paleontologist George Jefferson with volunteer Michael Guberek, photograph from the Anza-Borrego Desert Paleontology Society archives
At one of those treks, the volunteers listened as Jefferson described how the mammoth probably looked and what might have happened to its bones. The animal was probably the size of a modern day female elephant, 25 or younger and weighing 6000 to 7000 pounds, he said. Chances are it died just to the south of where the tusks now lie. Because the skull and tusks were the heaviest bones in its body, they would have been less likely to be carried away by a stream. "We know downstream is in that direction," Jefferson said, pointing north. "So we're not expecting anything that way," he said, pointing the other way.
Jefferson described how he thinks the tusks were situated under a rock and how he wanted to remove the material around them.
George Jefferson looks on as volunteer Norbert Sanders readies the drill, photograph from Anza-Borrego Desert Paleontology Society archives
Norbert Sanders aimed a drill at the wall above the tusks and bored holes in the sandstone in a honeycomb pattern. Over the succeeding weeks, teams of volunteers worked at the site, pulling the wall apart with a chisel and delicately brushing away debris from around the tusks.
Later a plaster jacket would be constructed and the tusks would be removed from the field encased in a net under a helicopter.

Working with analogies ='s using critical thinking skills so I've designed 3 Thanksgiving analogy worksheets to get students to put on their 'thinking caps' to make some holiday word connections!
Veterans Day is an official United States public holiday, observed annually on November 11, that honors military veterans; that is, persons who served in the United States Armed Forces. It is a celebration to honor America's veterans for their patriotism, love of country, and willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good.
Here is a FREE Veterans Day Freebie from CHSH-Teach.com that is designed to help your children and students focus their attention on a veteran that they personally know (or perhaps a family member that has passed).
This Veterans Day FREEBIE has 2 Language Arts pages and 1 Math page!


Staunton, Va - Mary Baldwin women's basketball took on the Monarchs of Methodist University in front of a full house Saturday afternoon at the PAC. While Methodist outscored the Fighting Squirrels in the second half, the visiting Monarchs were unable to overcome a double-digit halftime deficit while falling to the Fighting Squirrels, 69-56.
Mary Baldwin battled evenly with the Monarchs during the opening 10-minute quarter, exchanging the lead six times. A 13-4 run by Mary Baldwin to open the second quarter changed the tone of the game and as the teams headed into the locker rooms at halftime, the Fighting Squirrels had finished off a 22-6 period for a 44-24 lead over the Monarchs.
A big part of Mary Baldwin's game was the 3-point execution. The Fighting Squirrels hit 11 of their 26 attempts from long range, with Brooke Anders knocking down six of her nine attempts en route to her game-leading 22-point afternoon. MBU lived off an efficient first half, shooting 50 percent (16-32) from the floor and 50 percent (6-12) from 3-point land. Methodist wasn't far behind at 44 percent (11-25) but couldn't match the results from long range.
Mary Baldwin will host William Peace University on Saturday, February 2nd at 2PM.


All the best Cheers there something on my laptop - No Help. Any help unnistalling the driver, checked the bios its all the same as it was. If it's flumped or as a 4 MB an XP repair.

Q: SSH to server port forwarding through router Hi so we have multiple machines on our network running ssh on port 22, because of this we set up port forwarding in the router as 22->22 for one of the machines and 222->22 on the other machine. The one that is set up to be 222 for the outside world will not allow us to connect to the machine unless its outside port is also 22 thus making us disable outside access to the first machine. Is there some sort of config that disables access for this type of situation?
Desired Functionality:
Outside----P22----->router-----P22----->Machine1 (Currently Works)
Outside----P222---->router-----P22----->Machine2 (Returns Connection Refused)

Only port 22 on the outside to either machine (with the other disabled) has worked so far.
Router: Linksys E2500

A: Instead of punching multiple holes in your router you may decide to use the following trick:

*

*open a connection to the first machine in one terminal window with the following command:
ssh -L 10022:machine-2-local-ip:22 user-on-machine-1@router

*open another terminal window and you will be able to securely connect to machine-2 using
ssh -p10022 user-on-machine-2@0
To describe it in plain English:
The first command starts up an ssh session with the router on port 22 and sets up ssh port-forwading binding your localhost's port 10022 to the machine-2-local-ip address on port 22 (as visible from the router).  So, if you have proper internal DNS  or a name defined in /etc/hosts on the router you can use a name in place of machine-2-local-ip, otherwise use the internal IP address of the second machine there.
The second command connects to port 10022 on your localhost.  This port is forwarded through the established ssh session in step 1 to machine-2. :)
Hope this helps.

A: I've been in this situation before with multiple systems wanting to use the same ports through a NAT router. By far the easiest solution is to set the ports both locally and remotely as the same port, so:
internet -> port22 -> router -> machine 1 port 22
internet -> port222 -> router -> machine 2 port 222

I'm not saying it isn't possible, but with several consumer-grade routers I was unable to get any other configuration to stick.

Family files suit against church
Associated Press/April 19, 2003
The parents of a man who committed suicide last year filed suit against the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, alleging their son took his life because he was emotionally scarred from childhood sexual abuse by a Roman Catholic brother.
The wrongful-death suit filed Friday in Los Angeles Superior Court claims that a despondent 36-year-old Richard Lukasiewicz Jr. hanged himself 12 hours after being admitted to a psychiatric hospital in April 2002. The lawsuit states that Lukasiewicz was still traumatized by the sexual abuse he suffered while a young student at John Bosco Technical Institute in Rosemead.
The suit filed by Richard and Blanca Lukasiewicz says, in part: "The horror and betrayal associated with years of sexual abuse drove Richard Jr. into severe depression.
"The sexual abuse stole Richard Jr.'s youth; it took his self-esteem and drained his ability to cope."
Lawyers and activists groups representing victims said the Lukasiewicz case was the first time in the United States that relatives of molestation victims have sued the Catholic Church for damages.
"I'm glad to hear that they are filing the suit because it's the right thing to do because when a child is sexually abused the whole family is victimized," said Mary Grant, southwest regional director for the victims group Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests.
Attorney Raymond Boucher said Lukasiewicz tried to overcome the mental distress he suffered as a result of the molestation, which allegedly began during a 1979 camping trip when he was about 11 and lasted four years. Boucher, who represents about 200 people claiming they were sexually abused by Roman Catholic priests, said Lukasiewicz tried to deal with the trauma through yoga classes and by confiding in friends and family.
"He frankly wanted to live," Boucher said.
The lawsuit does not name the Catholic friar accused of molesting Lukasiewicz. It says only that he was assigned to teach and counsel at the high school.
The Lukasiewiczes are also seeking damages from the psychiatric facility, which they claim did not adequately supervise their son, who was admitted after a suicide attempt.
A spokesman for the Archdiocese of Los Angeles declined to comment on the suit Friday, saying he had not yet seen it.

Turnbull Pushes Mandatory Vaccination Rollout But Has Lucrative shares In Big Pharma
Posted on September 7, 2017 by societyissinister.com
Reblogged from source: http://crazzfiles.com/turnbull-pushes-mandatory-vaccination-rollout-but-has-lucrative-shares-in-big-pharma/ with thanks
Malcolm's Message To Australian Families is, Vaccinate Vaccinate Vaccinate $$$$$$$.
Our No Jab, No Pay policy has seen vaccination rates improving rapidly.
Ensuring Australia has a herd immunity will keep children and communities safe that's why we're aiming for 95% of children to be immunised.
Families currently receiving Child Care Benefit and Child Care Rebate have just over a week left to get their child's immunisations on track by 18 March 2016 to avoid the risk of losing child care payments.
Malcolm Turnbull has shares in pharmaceutical companies and cigarette maker British American Tobacco.
Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, who has been controversially targeted by Labor over his extensive offshore investments, has updated his pecuniary interests to include a European investment fund that holds shares in pharmaceutical companies and cigarette maker British American Tobacco.
The Australian newspaper reported this week that two of Mr Turnbull's other investment funds hold shares in Japan Tobacco, maker of Camel cigarettes.
Turnbull's office declined to comment but anti-tobacco campaigner Simon Chapman said it was difficult to know exactly where funds invest their money but said he would expect Mr Turnbull might consider "pulling out" of those particular funds. Read More:
http://www.smh.com.au/federal-politics/political-news/malcolm-turnbull-urged-to-dump-investments-in-tobacco-companies-20151022-gkfinl.html
What's on Malcolm Turnbull's Register of Interests?
First, there are the listed companies and funds*. Among them is the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust [NYSEARCA:SPY]. Over the last two years, SPY is up by nearly 40%.
This ETF is relatively popular because it offers exposure to big-name stocks, whilst being balanced and accessible.
The Trust's top 1445522814945ten holdings are Apple Inc., Microsoft Corporation, Exxon Mobil, Johnson & Johnson, GE, Wells Fargo, Berkshire Hathaway (Class B), JPMorgan, Amazon.com, and (Pfizer Inc).
Apple is the most substantial holding, at 3.8%.
To put that in context, Microsoft comes next at 2.03%. So it's very tech heavy.
But perhaps not as tech heavy as Vanguard Information Technology ETF [NYSEARCA:VGT], which Turnbull bought in July last year.
VGT's top five holdings are Apple, Google, Microsoft, Facebook, and IBM.

Tax avoidance inquiry calls on nine 'big pharma' bosses to explain tax contribution
The bosses of nine of Australia's largest multinational pharmaceutical companies will appear in front of a Senate committee investigating corporate tax avoidance.
Representatives from Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, GlaxoSmithKline, Roche, Novartis, AstraZeneca, Sanofi, Eli Lilly, and Merck Sharp & Dohne have all been requested to appear at public hearings on July 1.
The next phase of the tax avoidance inquiry comes months after the headline-grabbing appearance of executives from Google, Apple and Microsoft who struggled to explain why those companies pay so little tax in Australia.
The move on "big pharma" came after Australian Tax Commissioner Chris Jordan told a Senate estimates hearing this month that at least four large drug makers are being audited by the tax office. "Clearly there are [ATO] investigations happening in that industry," he said.
Mr Jordan, who has said that the pharmaceutical industry displays "some of the attributes of the tech industry", said the importation of drugs manufactured overseas and the payment of royalties for the intellectual property behind them made tax minimisation possible for the industry.
It also comes after Fairfax Media revealed that the five biggest suppliers of publicly subsidised medicines in Australia recorded sales of nearly $5 billion last year but paid an average of just $10 million each in company tax.
Research by the Parliamentary Library disclosed the tax contribution of multinational pharmaceutical companies, including Pfizer and AstraZeneca, makers of common cholesterol drugs Lipitor and Crestor, respectively.
It found Pfizer and Sanofi-Aventis both reported losses in Australia in 2014. Those companies received a combined $1.1 billion from the taxpayer for supplying medicines through the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme.
In total, the top five pharmaceutical suppliers to the PBS received $2.8 billion in public money. Their total Australian sales were $4.8 billion. But the research found their combined profits were a slim $50 million. They paid $53 million in tax between them – or roughly 1¢ in tax for every dollar earned in Australia. http://www.smh.com.au/federal-politics/political-news/tax-avoidance-inquiry-calls-on-nine-big-pharma-bosses-to-explain-tax-contribution-20150619-ghrzw6.html

The following open letter by a PhD Immunologist completely demolishes the current California legislative initiative to remove all vaccine exemptions. That such a draconian and cynical state statute is under consideration in the 'Golden State' is as shocking as it is predictable. After all, it was mysteriously written and submitted shortly after the manufactured-in-Disneyland measles 'outbreak'.
vax_ill_collThe indisputable science that is employed by Tetyana Obukhanych, PhD ought to be read by every CA legislator who is entertaining an affirmative vote for SB277. Dr. Obukhanych skillfully deconstructs the many false and fabricated arguments that are advanced by Big Pharma and the U.S Federal Government as they attempt to implement a nationwide Super-Vaccination agenda.
When the California Senate refuses to consider authoritative scientific evidence which categorically proves the dangerous vaccine side effects on the schoolchildren, something is very wrong. Such conduct by the Senate constitutes criminal action that endangers the lives and welfare of children. Their official behavior must be acknowledged for what it is — CRIMINAL — and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
An Open Letter to Legislators Currently Considering Vaccine Legislation from Tetyana Obukhanych, PhD in Immunology
Re: VACCINE LEGISLATION
Dear Legislator:
My name is Tetyana Obukhanych. I hold a PhD in Immunology. I am writing this letter in the hope that it will correct several common misperceptions about vaccines in order to help you formulate a fair and balanced understanding that is supported by accepted vaccine theory and new scientific findings.
Do unvaccinated children pose a higher threat to the public than the vaccinated?
It is often stated that those who choose not to vaccinate their children for reasons of conscience endanger the rest of the public, and this is the rationale behind most of the legislation to end vaccine exemptions currently being considered by federal and state legislators country-wide. You should be aware that the nature of protection afforded by many modern vaccines – and that includes most of the vaccines recommended by the CDC for children – is not consistent with such a statement. I have outlined below the recommended vaccines that cannot prevent transmission of disease either because they are not designed to prevent the transmission of infection (rather, they are intended to prevent disease symptoms), or because they are for non-communicable diseases. People who have not received the vaccines mentioned below pose no higher threat to the general public than those who have, implying that discrimination against non-immunized children in a public school setting may not be warranted.
IPV (inactivated poliovirus vaccine) cannot prevent transmission of poliovirus (see appendix for the scientific study, Item #1). Wild poliovirus has been non-existent in the USA for at least two decades. Even if wild poliovirus were to be re-imported by travel, vaccinating for polio with IPV cannot affect the safety of public spaces. Please note that wild poliovirus eradication is attributed to the use of a different vaccine, OPV or oral poliovirus vaccine. Despite being capable of preventing wild poliovirus transmission, use of OPV was phased out long ago in the USA and replaced with IPV due to safety concerns.
Tetanus is not a contagious disease, but rather acquired from deep-puncture wounds contaminated with C. tetani spores. Vaccinating for tetanus (via the DTaP combination vaccine) cannot alter the safety of public spaces; it is intended to render personal protection only.
While intended to prevent the disease-causing effects of the diphtheria toxin,the diphtheria toxoid vaccine (also contained in the DTaP vaccine) is not designed to prevent colonization and transmission of C. diphtheriae. Vaccinating for diphtheria cannot alter the safety of public spaces; it is likewise intended for personal protection only.
The acellular pertussis (aP) vaccine (the final element of the DTaP combined vaccine), now in use in the USA, replaced the whole cell pertussis vaccine in the late 1990s, which was followed by an unprecedented resurgence of whooping cough. An experiment with deliberate pertussis infection in primates revealed that the aP vaccine is not capable of preventing colonization and transmission of B. pertussis (see appendix for the scientific study, Item #2). The FDA has issued a warning regarding this crucial finding.[1]
Furthermore, the 2013 meeting of the Board of Scientific Counselors at the CDC revealed additional alarming data that pertussis variants (PRN-negative strains) currently circulating in the USA acquired a selective advantage to infect those who are up-to-date for their DTaP boosters (see appendix for the CDC document, Item #3), meaning that people who are up-to-date are more likely to be infected, and thus contagious, than people who are not vaccinated.
Among numerous types of H. influenzae, the Hib vaccine covers only type b. Despite its sole intention to reduce symptomatic and asymptomatic (disease-less) Hib carriage, the introduction of the Hib vaccine has inadvertently shifted strain dominance towards other types of H. influenzae(types a through f).These types have been causing invasive disease of high severity and increasing incidence in adults in the era of Hib vaccination of children (see appendix for the scientific study, Item #4). The general population is more vulnerable to the invasive disease now than it was prior to the start of the Hib vaccination campaign. Discriminating against children who are not vaccinated for Hib does not make any scientific sense in the era of non-type b H. influenzae disease.
Hepatitis B is a blood-borne virus. It does not spread in a community setting, especially among children who are unlikely to engage in high-risk behaviors, such as needle sharing or sex. Vaccinating children for hepatitis B cannot significantly alter the safety of public spaces. Further, school admission is not prohibited for children who are chronic hepatitis B carriers. To prohibit school admission for those who are simply unvaccinated – and do not even carry hepatitis B – would constitute unreasonable and illogical discrimination.
In summary, a person who is not vaccinated with IPV, DTaP, HepB, and Hib vaccines due to reasons of conscience poses no extra danger to the public than a person who is. No discrimination is warranted.
How often do serious vaccine adverse events happen?
It is often stated that vaccination rarely leads to serious adverse events. Unfortunately, this statement is not supported by science. A recent study done in Ontario, Canada, established thatvaccination actually leads to an emergency room visit for 1 in 168 children following their 12-month vaccination appointment and for 1 in 730 children following their 18-month vaccination appointment (see appendix for a scientific study, Item #5).
When the risk of an adverse event requiring an ER visit after well-baby vaccinations is demonstrably so high, vaccination must remain a choice for parents, who may understandably be unwilling to assume this immediate risk in order to protect their children from diseases that are generally considered mild or that their children may never be exposed to.
Can discrimination against families who oppose vaccines for reasons of conscience prevent future disease outbreaks of communicable viral diseases, such as measles?
Measles research scientists have for a long time been aware of the "measles paradox." I quote from the article by Poland & Jacobson (1994) "Failure to Reach the Goal of Measles Elimination: Apparent Paradox of Measles Infections in Immunized Persons." Arch Intern Med 154:1815-1820:
"THE APPARENT PARADOX IS THAT AS MEASLES IMMUNIZATION RATES RISE TO HIGH LEVELS IN A POPULATION, MEASLES BECOMES A DISEASE OF IMMUNIZED PERSONS."[2]
Further research determined that behind the "measles paradox" is a fraction of the population called LOW VACCINE RESPONDERS. Low-responders are those who respond poorly to the first dose of the measles vaccine. These individuals then mount a weak immune response to subsequent RE-vaccination and quickly return to the pool of "susceptibles'' within 2-5 years, despite being fully vaccinated.[3]
Re-vaccination cannot correct low-responsiveness: it appears to be an immuno-genetic trait.[4] The proportion of low-responders among children was estimated to be 4.7% in the USA.[5]
Studies of measles outbreaks in Quebec, Canada, and China attest that outbreaks of measles still happen, even when vaccination compliance is in the highest bracket (95-97% or even 99%, see appendix for scientific studies, Items #6&7). This is because even in high vaccine responders, vaccine-induced antibodies wane over time. Vaccine immunity does not equal life-long immunity acquired after natural exposure.
It has been documented that vaccinated persons who develop breakthrough measles are contagious. In fact, two major measles outbreaks in 2011 (in Quebec, Canada, and in New York, NY) were re-imported by previously vaccinated individuals.[6] – [7]
Taken together, these data make it apparent that elimination of vaccine exemptions, currently only utilized by a small percentage of families anyway, will neither solve the problem of disease resurgence nor prevent re-importation and outbreaks of previously eliminated diseases.
Is discrimination against conscientious vaccine objectors the only practical solution?
The majority of measles cases in recent US outbreaks (including the recent Disneyland outbreak) are adults and very young babies, whereas in the pre-vaccination era, measles occurred mainly between the ages 1 and 15. Natural exposure to measles was followed by lifelong immunity from re-infection, whereas vaccine immunity wanes over time, leaving adults unprotected by their childhood shots. Measles is more dangerous for infants and for adults than for school-aged children.
Despite high chances of exposure in the pre-vaccination era, measles practically never happened in babies much younger than one year of age due to the robust maternal immunity transfer mechanism. The vulnerability of very young babies to measles today is the direct outcome of the prolonged mass vaccination campaign of the past, during which their mothers, themselves vaccinated in their childhood, were not able to experience measles naturally at a safe school age and establish the lifelong immunity that would also be transferred to their babies and protect them from measles for the first year of life.
Luckily, a therapeutic backup exists to mimic now-eroded maternal immunity. Infants as well as other vulnerable or immunocompromised individuals, are eligible to receive immunoglobulin, a potentially life-saving measure that supplies antibodies directed against the virus to prevent or ameliorate disease upon exposure (see appendix, Item #8).
In summary: 1) due to the properties of modern vaccines, non-vaccinated individuals pose no greater risk of transmission of polio, diphtheria, pertussis, and numerous non-type b H. influenzae strains than vaccinated individuals do, non-vaccinated individuals pose virtually no danger of transmission of hepatitis B in a school setting, and tetanus is not transmissible at all; 2) there is a significantly elevated risk of emergency room visits after childhood vaccination appointments attesting that vaccination is not risk-free; 3) outbreaks of measles cannot be entirely prevented even if we had nearly perfect vaccination compliance; and 4) an effective method of preventing measles and other viral diseases in vaccine-ineligible infants and the immunocompromised, immunoglobulin, is available for those who may be exposed to these diseases.
Taken together, these four facts make it clear that discrimination in a public school setting against children who are not vaccinated for reasons of conscience is completely unwarranted as the vaccine status of conscientious objectors poses no undue public health risk.

newsspellcom.org says:
The tragic truth regarding vaccines is their mass administration causes the very diseases they are purported to help prevent. Meanwhile, those with big pharma stock portfolios in positions of high politics such as Ms. Turnbull profit from what amounts to organized criminality.

Scattering amplitudes are fundamental and rich observables in quantum field theory. Based on the observation that, for massless particles of spin-one or more, scattering amplitudes are much simpler than expected from traditional Feynman diagram techniques, the broad aim of this work is to understand and exploit this hidden structure. It uses methods from twistor theory to provide new insights into the correspondence between scattering amplitudes in supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory and null polygonal Wilson loops. By additionally exploiting the symmetries of the problem, the author succeeds in developing new ways of computing scattering amplitudes.

900 MW RoR Upper Karnali Hydro Power Project & GMR
I would like to assure all my well wishers that it is not that I will shed my own blood and give up my life right away. It will be the last recourse to stop hydrocrats (politicos, bureaucrats, policy/decision makers, commission agents of so called foreign investors) from ruining the world's most attractive hydropower site with most potential and highly cost effective which also is able to provide water and food - most essential things for human life, to serve Indian interest.
It is with heavy heart that I have to inform you all that Supreme Court too has thrown out the case that I was pleading. However, another case has been filed in Supreme Court by the local people but I am not too hopeful of the people winning the case as there are already 2 precedents (West Seti and Upper Karnali itself) in which the court delivered verdict against the national interest of Nepal. However, there is still one silver lining - we succeeded to persuade ADB which was going to finance SMEC's West Seti project to withdraw their investment which paved path for cancellation of license with SMEC for export and new MoU with Chinese company was signed under which it will be built as a multipurpose project for Nepal, both peak energy and augmented flow of water in dry season - not India.
Prof. Dr Mohan Lohani has said "Let us wait how Hon'ble Ram Saran responds to your letter." But I am not too hopeful of Ram Sharan jee understanding what the likes of me are saying. Because even now he is going about saying that present load shedding is due to cancellation of Arun III, 201 MW. I have written several articles and papers on the subject (other colleagues too have done so) and it is clear that due to cancellation of 201 MW Arun III, we now have 346 MW (KGA 144 MW, MM 70 MW, Khimit 60 MW, Bhote Koshi 36 MW, Chilime 22 MW and Modi 14 MW) which were mutually exclusive with Arun III. It is surprising that he doesn't remember the terms that were agreed with the World Bank with his own involvement - like Nepal would not have been allowed to build any other project exceeding 10 MW if Arun III was built).
I would like to end this email with a request to all my well wishers - if things go out of hand and I actually have to sacrifice my life at the altar of this proejct (which I will do at the proejct site), I wish to have presence of all of you there.

Sorry something happened to my computer and the message got sent prematurely.
I was writing about the case in the Supreme Court against the government and the GMR concerning this project. What happened to it? I think, we should file an urgent PIL against the government and obtain a stay order, leading to the redesing of the project along the lines suggested by you.
I am not planning to procrastinate death by going on so called आमरण अनशन
Rather I am going to implement following saying of Gopal Yonjan:

You are going to have my blood on your hands.
Karobar Daily has reported on Monday, 10th March that "Finance Minister Dr Ram Sharan Mahat has also stated that it (PDA) will be signed within a month" for Upper Karnali project with GMR Energy Ltd. In the meantime I have formally announced in an interaction program on Friday, 28th March "that Upper Karnali project in present form, in Indian national interest, will only be built over my dead body" and "I did commit to sacrifice my life at project site if they commence to build this project in detriment Nepal's national interest." Therefore, there will be my blood on your hands too if this project is built against Nepal's national interest.
The site for this project is world's most attractive site and the only other comparable site is, reportedly, in Columbia. Himalayan Power Consultants, with funding from the World Bank, have, after conducting a study for NEA, recommended that the site should be developed as a reservoir project with installed capacity of 4,180 MW which will enable Nepal to benefit from multidimensional uses of water inter alia ranging from water drinking and sanitation, lean season augmented flow of water for irrigation to increase cropping intensity by more than 3 times compared to present practice of less than 1.5 times, to navigation besides generating peak energy – most valuable form of energy.
Under present format, GMR is going to develop it as a run-of-the river project with 900 MW as installed capacity, that too for export when Nepal is languishing for lack of power not just for lighting and entertainment but power for industrialization and to displace fossil fuel consumption by transportation (which is causing huge balance of trade/payment deficit) by electrifying transportation. You might point out that GMR will give Nepal 12% free energy, equivalent to 108 MW. You may not be aware that it will generate only 36 MW in the dry season (will be equivalent to a drop in an ocean) – the time when Nepal suffers from severe energy crisis, severity of which will but increase with the increase in population and, hence, demand.
It is for you and your colleagues in present government to decide whether the foundation of this project will be laid with my blood.

Hoboken train crash survivors seek tens of millions in damages from NJ Transit
Curtis Tate Tom Nobile Richard Cowen
NorthJersey
More than 30 lawsuits have been filed against NJ Transit by the people who were injured in the September 2016 Hoboken train crash, according to court documents.
They include passengers who were on the train and others who were on the station platform.
They include the husband of the woman who was killed on the platform just after dropping off her young daughter at day care.
They include a passenger who died earlier this year before his case could be heard.
In total, the filed suits seek tens of millions of dollars in damages, which if awarded will likely be paid by taxpayers. Taxpayers are also paying for the legal defense of the engineer of the train, as three deputy attorneys general are representing him, even though he has not worked for NJ Transit since March.
NJ Transit and the attorney general's office declined to comment for this story.
The USA TODAY NETWORK New Jersey reviewed 2,500 pages of court records on file in Hudson County comprising 35 separate cases initiated between April 2017 and May 2018. In August, Judge Mary Costello consolidated all of them under Bhalla vs. New Jersey Transit, the first lawsuit filed.
In addition to NJ Transit, the lawsuits name the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, and the train's engineer, Thomas Gallagher, as defendants.
Fateful morning
Gallagher's train left Spring Valley, New York, on the morning of Sept. 29, 2016, bound for Hoboken Terminal. The four-car train was packed with 250 people and ordinarily would have run with six cars.
As the train approached Hoboken, it suddenly accelerated to 21 mph, more than twice the speed allowed. The train crashed through an end-of-track bumper, jumped on the platform and came to rest at the wall of the station building.
The crash partially collapsed the station's roof, raining debris down on the train and the platform.
CRASH'S CAUSE:NTSB: Failure to screen NJ Transit engineer for sleeping disorder caused Hoboken crash
MISSED SIGNS:NJ Transit didn't screen engineer for sleep apnea before Hoboken crash, records show
Fabiola Bittar de Kroon, who was on the platform at the time, was killed, and more than 110 others were injured on the platform and the train.
The National Transportation Safety Board concluded in February that NJ Transit failed to diagnose and treat Gallagher's severe obstructive sleep apnea, a disorder that can cause fatigue and drowsiness. The NTSB also concluded that a speed-control system, such as positive train control, could have prevented the crash from occurring.
The court filings detail the pile of broken bodies, and broken spirits, that the crash left in its wake. The filings read like the pages of a medical textbook, with details of fractured bones, back, neck and facial injuries, crushed internal organs and post-traumatic stress disorder.
Savannah Crespo, who now lives in New York City but at the time lived in Valley Cottage, New York, stated what happened in a document seeking damages from NJ Transit.
"As the train was pulling into Hoboken Terminal, I was in the second car, in the rear of the train," Crespo said. "I stood up, intending to get off the train through the exit between the second and third cars. The train then crashed into the platform, causing me to fall to the floor with several people piled up on top of me."
Crespo suffered a crush injury to her lower left extremity, according to her complaint, filed in July 2017, as well as a shoulder injury and PTSD. She's one of four plaintiffs who are seeking $5 million each.
Broken bodies
Deepti Chanana Bhalla, a Hoboken resident who was on the platform at the time of the crash, became trapped under a pile of debris, according to her attorney, Marijo Adimey.
Bhalla sustained multiple spinal fractures and her spleen was surgically removed.
"She underwent multiple surgeries during her prolonged hospitalization, followed by a physical therapy regime that continues until today," Adimey said. "Emotionally, the impact this catastrophe has had on her is immeasurable, requiring her to seek psychological counsel and require psychological medications to get through the day."
Bhalla "was an innocent victim of gross negligence on the part of the defendants," Adimey added.
Bagyalakshmi Subramaniam, a Bergenfield resident who was on the train, received multiple facial and nasal fractures "requiring surgical internal fixation," swelling, bruising, scarring disfigurement and amnesia.
His complaint cites the lack of positive train control, which NJ Transit is required to install by the end of the year, as a factor in the crash. It also cites NJ Transit's failure to detect Gallagher's sleeping disorder.
"NJ Transit has a widespread and systematic failure to properly screen operators for medical conditions, which would increase the likelihood of deadly crashes," it said.
Story continues below video.
Blame the victim?
Corrine Cerrati, a Hillsdale resident, seeks $10 million in damages for traumatic brain injury and PTSD. Nicole Safran, of New City, New York, also seeks $10 million for similar injuries.
Acting in Gallagher's defense in the complaints filed by Cerrati and Safran, Deputy Attorney General Bryan Lucas places the blame on the plaintiffs for their injuries.
"Plaintiffs' alleged injuries and damages were caused, in whole or in part, by pre-existing conditions, or other contributory or concurrent conditions or factors," Lucas said.
Cerrati and Safran were "contributorily and/or comparatively negligent," he said.
He even cited the failure of Cerrati and Safran to wear seat belts, something NJ Transit trains don't have.
The legal progress didn't move fast enough for Robert Simmons, a passenger on the train that crashed in Hoboken. He died in February. If any damages are awarded, they will go to his widow.
Other plaintiffs, their injuries and damages sought:
Sheldon Kest, a Tenafly resident, had the tip of his right middle finger amputated, received a broken nose, lacerations to his head and face that required "dozens" of stitches.
Dilenia Martinez, of Boonton, sustained spinal injuries and experienced trauma from what she witnessed, according to her attorney. Martinez "recalls seeing people, blood, and debris all over the ground; and some people trapped under collapsed debris."
Neil Lucas, of New York, suffered a detached retina with permanent optical nerve damage, in addition to spinal fractures. Lucas "lay injured in a pitch black, overturned train car, filled with debris and the screams and moans of other passengers," his attorneys wrote.


In this course students will learn about statistical methods for analyzing categorical data. Chi-square tests, measures of association, logistic regression, and loglinear modeling techniques. Background should include estimation, hypothesis test, regression modeling, and the analysis of variance.

   var val = this.value;
   $('input.select').val(val);
})

and here is the fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/maniator/hp8cr/
ON QUESTION UPDATE
Why not on the PHP side just add one to the post:
echo ($_POST["test1"] + 1);

A: If you are using jquery and ajax post, you can achieve this.
$.post("myscript.php",
   { test2: $('#test2').val(val),      // Submit normally
     test1: '3'                        // Change the value
   },
   function(data){
      // Handle response here

These Are the 20 Most Valuable Nike Air Force 1s On the Resell Market
2019-08-21 18:10 in SneakersWords By Fabian Gorsler
Highsnobiety / Dan Freebairn
Nike's Air Force 1, designed by Bruce Kilgore and launched in 1982, is a near-unsinkable icon — surviving nearly being discontinued in 1984 before going on to become one of the bestselling sneakers ever. After convincing Nike not to discontinue the shoe, a trio of Baltimore sportswear stores popularized the Air Force 1 with their "Color of the Month" releases in 1984, prompting many to travel to Baltimore from other cities to pick up the limited colorways.
Through the years, Nike has released a number of special edition Air Force 1s, including in-house designs and collaborations with artists, designers, and other brands, ranging from fashion brands like CLOT to record labels like Shady Records, and many more.
Following our look at the 23 most expensive Air Jordan 1s, we tapped StockX for data on the 20 most expensive Nike Air Force 1s to be sold on the resell platform, ranking them by average resale price. From Virgil Abloh collabs to Japan exclusives, read on to find out which Nike Air Force 1 is the most valuable out there.
20. Off-White™ x Nike Air Force 1 Low "Ghosting"
Release Date: November 1, 2017 Average Sale Price: $780 Highest Sale Price: $2,500 Buy: StockX Editor's Notes: This Air Force 1 was part of Virgil Abloh's "The Ten" collaboration with Nike in late 2017. This particular colorway took on a "Ghosting" theme, with translucent detailing on the midsole, upper, and a deconstructed Swoosh.
19. Supreme x Nike Air Force 1 High "World Famous" Red
Release Date: October 23, 2014 Average Sale Price: $801 Highest Sale Price: $2,000 Buy: StockX Editor's Notes: This Supreme x Nike Air Force 1 High dropped as part of the NYC label's FW14 collection and came in three colorways: red, white, and black. It features "World Famous" across the ankle strap, co-branded "94" detailing on the heel, and a Supreme arch logo.
Supreme and Nike have collaborated on a range of low and high-top Air Force 1s over the years, including three-way collaborations with COMME des GARÇONS SHIRT in 2017, and a logo-clad high-top with the NBA in 2018.
18. Nike Air Force 1 "Crocodile 25th Anniversary"
Release Date: January 6, 2007 Average Sale Price: $918 Highest Sale Price: $2,300 Buy: StockX Editor's Notes: Celebrating 25 years of the Air Force 1, Nike wrapped the silhouette in luxe materials for a special edition drop. This individually numbered, crocodile skin version dropped alongside an anaconda version and retailed for a staggering $2,000 due to its "Made in Italy" quality.
17. VLONE x Nike Air Force 1 High "Black/White"
Release Date: July 1, 2017 Average Sale Price: $1,151 Highest Sale Price: $1,800 Buy: StockX Editor's Notes: This Air Force 1 High came as part of A$AP Bari's short-lived partnership with Nike. The sneaker was available in six colorways, each dressed in black leather with a different colored Swoosh and "Every Living Creative Dies Alone" embroidered on the ankle strap. The pack was available exclusively in Paris and limited to 20 pairs total.
Amidst a controversy involving sexual assault allegations against A$AP Bari, Nike cut ties with Bari and VLONE, leaving many products from the partnership unreleased.
16. Off-White™ x Nike Air Force 1 "AF100"
Release Date: November 4, 2017 Average Sale Price: $1,251 Highest Sale Price: $4,000 Buy: StockX Editor's Notes: The number of Virgil Abloh-designed Air Force 1s in this ranking speaks to the influence the Off-White™ and Louis Vuitton man holds. This all-white pair with orange and silver detailing on the Swoosh was created as part of Nike's "AF100" program to celebrate the lasting popularity of simple white Air Force 1s.
15. A-COLD-WALL* x Nike Air Force 1 High
Release Date: October 21, 2017 Average Sale Price: $1,363 Highest Sale Price: $1,999 Buy: StockX Editor's Notes: A-COLD-WALL* founder Samuel Ross' first Nike collab debuted during the designer's London Fashion Week show in January 2017 before dropping exclusively via a pop-up in London. Extremely limited in quantity, its value has shot up on the resell market over the last two years. These special Forces feature a perforated Swoosh outline on the upper, as well as a re-designed lace closure with two pairs of eyelets.
14. Off-White™ x Nike Air Force 1 "MoMA" (With Socks)
Release Date: January 27, 2018 Average Sale Price: $1,367 Highest Sale Price: $4,500 Buy: StockX Editor's Notes: This black Virgil Abloh-designed Air Force 1 was released to commemorate the opening of "Items: Is Fashion Modern?", an exhibition at New York's Museum of Modern Art. The shoes were only available in limited quantities at the MoMA Design Store and this version came with a set of special edition socks.
13. Off-White™ x Nike Air Force 1 "MoMA" (No Socks)
Release Date: January 27, 2018 Average Sale Price: $1,497 Highest Sale Price: $2,600 Buy: StockX Editor's Notes: This sneaker is the same as the one above, only bundled without the socks. Curiously, the sockless pack resells for more on average, even if the version with the socks has resold for a higher individual price.
12. Shady Records x Nike Air Force 1 Low "White"
Release Date: 2004 Average Sale Price: $1,899 Highest Sale Price: $1,899 Buy: StockX Editor's Notes: This Shady Records collab was made for friends and family of the label. Things are kept simple, with an all-white upper, black Shady Records detailing on the heel, and a semi-translucent outsole. Additional labels like Terror Squad, Roc-a-Fella and others were also given friends and family versions, with the respective logo of each label stamped on the heel.
11. Nike Air Force 1 "Ueno Sakura" Japan Exclusive
Release Date: March 26, 2005 Average Sale Price: $1,916 Highest Sale Price: $2,750 Buy: StockX Editor's Notes: The Air Force 1 "Ueno Sakura" was released as a Japan-exclusive in 2005, taking inspiration from the country's annual springtime bloom of cherry blossoms. In 2007, when Nike let sneakerheads in NYC, Philadelphia, and Baltimore vote for their favorite Air Force 1 of all time, the "Ueno Sakura" won in Baltimore and was consequently given a city-exclusive re-release in extremely restricted numbers.
10. Off-White™ x Nike Air Force 1 "MCA Chicago"
Release Date: July 20, 2019 Average Sale Price: $1,926 Highest Sale Price: $3,500 Buy: StockX Editor's Notes: The final Virgil Abloh design in this list, the all-blue "MCA Chicago" colorway was released to commemorate the designer's "Figures of Speech" exhibition at Chicago's Museum of Contemporary Art, although it was only available first at ComplexCon Chicago and the next weekend via a surprise SNKRS Stash drop.
9. VLONE x Nike Air Force 1 Low
Release Date: February 11, 2017 Average Sale Price: $2,034 Highest Sale Price: $5,000 Buy: StockX Editor's Notes: Similar to VLONE's Air Force 1 Highs, this collab was extremely limited edition and initially released at a pop-up event in Harlem. This particular Air Force 1 Low — there was a ComplexCon-exclusive, too — features the same "Every Living Creative Dies Alone" phrase embroidered on the heel.
8. KAWS x Nike Air Force 1 "1World"
Release Date: August 2008 Average Sale Price: $2,035 Highest Sale Price: $2,602 Buy: StockX Editor's Notes: This Air Force 1 was one of KAWS' earlier Nike projects and was part of the multi-month "1World" project, which included collaborations with CLOT and Questlove. It featured the artist's signature double X stitching in contrasting bright green at the toe and was only given out to friends and family.
7. Nike Air Force 1 "Craig Sager"
Release Date: October 25, 2016 Average Sale Price: $2,162 Highest Sale Price: $2,700 Buy: StockX Editor's Notes: This Craig Sager-designed Air Force 1 was released as the legendary sportscaster was battling cancer before sadly passing away in December that year. Sager was known for his wild patterned suits, which is where the colorful paisley design comes from. Only 100 pairs were available for auction, with proceeds benefiting the SagerStrong Foundation.
6. Nike Air Force 1 Low "PlayStation" (2009)
Release Date: March 2009 Average Sale Price: $2,500 Highest Sale Price: $2,500 Buy: StockX Editor's Notes: The second "PlayStation" Air Force 1, following the 2006 OG, was made available to friends and family in 2009. Limited to only 50 pairs, it differed from the original by adding an all-patent leather upper.
5. Nike Air Force 1 Low "PlayStation"
Release Date: 2006 Average Sale Price: $2,576 Highest Sale Price: $2,753 Buy: StockX Editor's Notes: Nike's original "PlayStation" Air Force 1 was limited to 150 numbered pairs and given out to Sony executives, friends and family of both brands, and raffle winners.
4. UNDEFEATED x Entourage x Nike Air Force 1 Low "Fukijama"
Release Date: 2006 Average Sale Price: $2,688 Highest Sale Price: $4,444 Buy: StockX Editor's Notes: A fictional colorway shown in an episode of HBO's Entourage led Nike to produce around 100 similar pairs for cast and crew of the show. Unlike the shoe shown in the episode, which was gold, white, and black, this colorway dialed back the crazy all-over detailing and added sky blue overlays (something closer to the TV version appeared in 2009). Rumor has it a few pairs were even sold secretly at UNDEFEATED locations.
3. CLOT x Nike Air Force 1 "1World"
Release Date: January 16, 2009 Average Sale Price: $3,094 Highest Sale Price: $4,219 Buy: StockX Editor's Notes: CLOT founder Edison Chen's contribution to the "1World" pack was this Chinese New Year Air Force 1 Low with ornate silk upper and details representing luck and prosperity. Setting it apart from other Air Forces, the red upper layer could actually be peeled, burned or torn off to reveal a bottom layer made from dark brown leather. The sneaker was re-released in 2018 with a cream white upper. CLOT's catalog of Air Force 1 collaborations also includes a Lunar Force 1 from 2015, as well as star and spiderweb-themed Air Forces for the opening of Juice LA.
2. CLOT x Nike Air Force 1 "1World" (Special Box)
Release Date: January 16, 2009 Average Sale Price: $4,999 Highest Sale Price: $4,999 Buy: StockX Editor's Notes: This is the same as the sneaker above except this version comes in a special edition box and is much rarer than the already-scarce regular version. The result? A five-grand resell value.
1. VLONE x Nike Air Force 1 High "Paris Fashion Week"
Release Date: June 26, 2017 Average Sale Price: $5,949 Highest Sale Price: $8,250 Buy: StockX Editor's Notes: The final VLONE x Nike sneaker on this list is also the most expensive Air Force 1 on StockX by a wide margin. This particular pair was among those that appeared at Paris Fashion Week Men's SS18 and features red and gold detailing on an all-black shoe. The controversy behind VLONE and the brand's founder A$AP Bari has made items from the defunct Nike x VLONE collaboration highly collectible to some.

We understand the uncertainty and anxiety you continue to experience during this transition. We want to be clear that we are closely monitoring the situation, however in order for anything to move forward the State and UPW must come to an agreement, and then Kaiser would have to reverse its position and move the transition date back to November 6. Contrary to what has been reported in the media, HGEA is not the obstacle to the transition.
We continue to advocate for the best deal for our members in this constantly changing environment.
Updates will be sent via eBulletin as information becomes available.

Multnomah County commissioners deliberate over the $1.7 billion spending plan that begins July 1 in front of more than 160 people June 18, 2015.
The meeting space used by Multnomah County Board of Commissioners needed several dozen extra chairs Thursday for more than 160 adults, students and county staff who observed the approval of the $1.7 billion spending plan that starts July 1.
Most of the 16 people who signed up to speak to commissioners represented cultural and community organizations targeted for county money or services.
They all thanked commissioners, including Albina Head Start Executive Director Ronnie Herndon who was among the last to speak after listening to African American, Latino, Asian groups, an immigration group and others.
"I don't think I've ever heard so many representatives of the community of color congratulate the Multnomah County commission," Herndon said generating laughter from the crowd. "You may want to write this down on your calendars as a historic day."
Thursday's budget adoption wraps up seven weeks filled with 19 work sessions and other public forums carefully planned and scripted to highlight new programs and existing priorities that will provide services for the homeless, veterans, students and the elderly, troubled youth, intern programs for minority youth, physical and mental health services, law enforcement and suicide prevention at the county jails and more.
There's money to wrap up the Sellwood Bridge project and other cash set aside to pay for upcoming projects like a new downtown courthouse and a headquarters for the Health Department.
Chairwoman Deborah Kafoury's proposed budget is up $90 million from the current fiscal year that ends June 30. The general fund, the county's largest discretionary spending source, grew by $72.4 million to $553.7 million. The adopted budget will be published online in mid-July.
"I want to call out the $28 million set aside for the replacement of the central courthouse," said Commissioner Judy Shiprack adding that money represents $1.5 million in annual savings by reducing the amount needed to finance the project through bonds.
Finance officials told commissioners last month the county needs to finance about $88 million, at this point, for the $250 million project. The county and the state have agreed to split the cost.
Through the budget process, discussions about amendments to pay for projects important to the four other county commissioners generated the most back-and-forth moments including Tuesday's final work session.
Shiprack and Commissioners Jules Bailey, Loretta Smith, and Diane McKeel proposed a combined $7.2 million in additional spending from the general fund. To pay for the programs, they mostly reclassified revenue sources and relied on projections given after Kafoury's May 7 budget proposal.
Smith's $3 million in additional expenditures - the most of the four districts - will go to programs that include $2 million for Promise Neighborhoods, a program aimed to "support school retention and completion and reduce school suspensions and expulsion," records show. Smith said she was proud of the program increasing in cost from this year's $1 million allocation.
Bailey proposed $2.3 million in expenditures with the majority of that money as a contribution to a 24-hour psychiatric emergency room construction project spearheaded by Legacy Health.
See the data presentation below for more details on amendments from Bailey, Smith, Shiprack and McKeel.

Collections Interventions:
MISSISSIPPI COLLEGIATE ART FACULTY INVITATIONAL
March 17 – November 1
The latest installation in the Collection Intervention series, which places "guest" objects in our permanent collection galleries, features art professors at colleges and universities across the state of Mississippi. The artists have created new works in response to objects in the Museum's collection that interest them in terms of the formal qualities, compositional techniques, and subject matter, or to which they share some personal connection. Marcus Michels (University of Southern Mississippi) focused on the color relationships and gestural features of John Henry Twachtman's Hemlock Pool to create his painting, K. Transitory Spaces: Muscadines & Fragments by Philip R. Jackson (The University of Mississippi), as well the John Peto still life painting that inspired it, turn the seemingly unimportant subject of ripened grapes into a monumental matter through composition and dramatic lighting. Critz Campbell (Mississippi State University) has produced Vardaman Bundren in response to Bo Bartlett's painting Self Portrait as Asher Lev, as both pieces are inspired by literary characters and rely on geometry and composition to portray metaphor and memory.
Inspired by John Alexander's Eye of the Storm, Lauren Cardenas (The University of Mississippi) produced Green Curtain, an abstract rendering of kudzu that incorporates the political and naturalistic qualities of Alexander's work. For Sue Carrie Drummond (Millsaps College) the Museum's Georgian silver Candelabra symbolizes the historical use of women as vehicles for the exchange of property and wealth between men, and A Dowry depicts a female figure using the design features of the candelabra. Mark Rigsby (University of Southern Mississippi) created Tea Bones, Dangling from a Dark Thread in response to the design and craftsmanship of a set of Georgian silver tea canisters in the Museum's collection and in contemplation of the dark history and cultural impact of tea as a commodity. In "Blessed is the Fruit of Thy Womb…", Phoenix Savage (Tougaloo College) takes her inspiration from Elizabeth Catlett's Mother and Child, contrasting that celebration of motherhood with her own lament for the vulnerability of the African-American body.
Virginia Rougon Chavis (The University of Mississippi) was drawn to Rosabel Sylestine's Lidded Sewing Basket because it reminds her of a similar basket that belonged to her grandmother, and her Attentive Repetition speaks to familial and cyclical patterns. Janet Gorzegno (University of Southern Mississippi) honors a work by her valued mentor, Gabor F. Peterdi's Blue Sun, Red Moon, in her paintings Magician and Madonna that similarly involve layering, found textures, and bold shapes. Inspired by the surface quality and limited color palette of Frightened Figure by her teacher and friend Hiram Williams, Chatham Kemp (William Carey University) created an emotionally rich visual experience for the viewer in her painting Geography. Cetin Oguz (Delta State University) produced Red, Homage to Rauschenberg to capture the fond memory of meeting the artist and to honor how Robert Rauschenberg's work, such as the Museum's Untitled print, has continued to influence his creative process.
Each of the artworks created for this exhibition will be hung next to the inspiration piece and will shed new light on the works from our collection. The Museum is thrilled to provide a forum for the creativity of these artists and to showcase the diversity of art being produced by art faculty in Mississippi today.

Greg & Bridget
Greg and Bridget have been married three years and currently have no children.
We are Greg and Bridget. Thank you for considering us! We can only imagine what you must be going through. We have been considering adoption since we were engaged. We have been married just over 3 years. We met on eHarmony when Greg was in the military and Bridget was in Residency. We felt a connection and after 2.5 years of dating we were married in Fort Wayne in October 2016. Both of us come from close families as Bridget is the oldest of 7 and Greg has cousins who are almost like siblings.
About 1.5 years after we were married we learned that we have infertility issues. The infertility opened our hearts to adoption even more. Throughout this journey our faith has been key for us. We pray every day for God to lead us down the path He has set out for us.
Greg is 37 and Bridget is 33. Greg is a civil engineer and Bridget is a physician. We love cooking, the outdoors, football and reading. Greg enjoys exercising outside and Bridget loves to swim. We are excited to embark on our next phase of life. We have a nephew who is just over a year old and Greg's sister has a step daughter who is 8. We enjoy spending time with them and hope to provide a good home for children in the future.
