Abstract: The role of anti-inflammatory therapy in the treatment of bronchial asthma is increasingly being recognised. The treatment of chronic asthma is moving away from beta2-agonists and theophylline as these do not treat the underlying airway hyper-reactivity and are also associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The roles of inhaled steroids, cromoglycate, and beta2-agonists, theophylline and ketotifen in the present day management of asthma are explored. The application of these new advances to patient management is included with emphasis to the context of general practice. The choice of inhaler therapy in the local context is discussed.

N.Y. / Region|Giuliani Decides Against a Run for the Senate
Giuliani Decides Against a Run for the Senate
By DAVID M. HALBFINGER DEC. 21, 2009
Former Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani has decided not to run for the Senate seat held by Kirsten E. Gillibrand, Republicans briefed on his decision said Monday evening.
The decision by Mr. Giuliani, 65, leaves Senator Gillibrand — who was appointed to her seat less than a year ago, has never run in a statewide election, and is still unfamiliar to many voters — without a high-profile Republican opponent as she faces election to the seat.
As recently as a week ago, a Quinnipiac University poll showed Mr. Giuliani leading Ms. Gillibrand in a hypothetical matchup, 50 percent to 40 percent.

Mr. Giuliani, whose decision to forgo a race for governor was reported a month ago, plans to endorse Rick Lazio for governor of New York on Tuesday afternoon at a news conference in Manhattan, the Republicans said. Mr. Giuliani's intentions were reported by The Daily News on its Web site Monday evening.
Many Republican leaders, sensing anger at Albany and incumbent politicians in general, had seen the former mayor as the strongest potential candidate for governor or for Senate in 2010. But party officials had begun agitating for him to declare his intentions as to the Senate race.
Mr. Giuliani has built a successful career as a motivational speaker, and his business interests, including his firm, Giuliani Partners, tend to suffer when he runs for office, those who know him say. The corruption case against his friend and former police commissioner, Bernard B. Kerik, could have made a statewide campaign more complicated. And Mr. Giuliani has strained relations with Edward F. Cox, the new state Republican Party chairman.
His endorsement of Mr. Lazio, a former Long Island congressman, will enhance a sense of momentum that Mr. Lazio has been trying to project as he faces a potential primary rival in Chris Collins, the Erie County executive and a favorite of Mr. Cox.
In 2000, Mr. Lazio deferred to Mr. Giuliani in the race for Senate against Hillary Rodham Clinton, only for Mr. Giuliani to drop out five months before the election to battle prostate cancer. Mr. Lazio re-entered the race but lost.

GOOGLE BARS FACEBOOK FROM ACCESSING GMAIL
Google have thrown a spanner in the works of Facebook's growth plans by barring the social network from accessing its contacts data on its email service Gmail.
The change has come about as a result of Google's decision to re-write their terms and conditions. Under their new terms, Google say that anyone who wants to access their API to connect with contacts, must return the favour by sharing their data contacts with Google. However Facebook has a very strict policy on its contact data which doesn't allow them to share information with any other parties.
When Facebook members first sign up to the social networking site, Facebook offers them the opportunity to search for friends via the contacts in their Gmail, Yahoo or Microsoft Live accounts, however as a result of the change in Google's policy, Facebook will no longer be able to offer this service for Gmail users.
Facebook doesn't allow it's users to export any contact information from its site so under Google's new rules, the social networking site is now excluded from using Gmail to track down contacts. Facebook have recently launched a data download programme, however this only provides contact names, and no actual contact information.

Facebook stands apart from other social networks for its monetization efforts.
Facebook Inc. is scheduled to report second-quarter earnings after the market closes Wednesday.
Facebook FB, +1.29% has monetized its mobile audience well and has potential future catalysts through Instagram, Oculus VR and its mobile-messaging platforms. However, there is a persistent worry that a large part of its user base is fleeing for Snapchat or other social networks.
Earnings: Analysts surveyed by FactSet expect Facebook to report adjusted earnings per share of 81 cents. The Estimize consensus, made up of 432 estimates, is for 84 cents.
In the year-earlier period, Facebook reported earnings of 50 cents, beating Wall Street estimates.
Revenue: FactSet analysts expect Facebook to report revenue of $6 billion, while the Estimize consensus is for revenue of $6.05 billion.
Last year, Facebook reported revenue of $4.04 billion, beating estimates.
Stock reaction: Shares of Facebook have gained 10% in the past three months, outperforming the S&P 500 SPX, +0.88% , which has gained 4% in that period.
Out of 48 analyst ratings on FactSet, the average rating is buy and the price target is $143.54.
What to look for: Analysts expect another strong quarter from Facebook and will be keeping an eye on Facebook Messenger and increasing monetization of Instagram, as well as headwinds from Brexit, to monitor future growth.
James Cakmak of Monness Crespi Hardt said his research indicates there is still "robust" demand for Facebook and he expects an increase of 4% in monthly active users from the previous quarter, which would be a 15.3% increase from last year. Mobile is making up an increasing portion of Facebook's ad revenue, and this quarter he expects mobile to make up 84% of Facebook's advertising revenue mix.
Rob Sanderson of MKM Partners expects Facebook revenues to be impacted 3% to 5% by currency headwinds, but expects earnings to be in-line or even beating estimates. He sees future catalysts with the presidential election and the Summer Olympics, during which time he sees Facebook and Instagram taking a large share of digital ad spending.
"We think that timing the Instagram expansion as an inflator of overall growth is the most important factor for the stock," he wrote.
BTIG analysts aren't as upbeat, however. The analysts recently downgraded Facebook to neutral from buy, saying that while they expect Facebook to "show tremendous growth," its stock has rallied too much and it may struggle to meet sky-high investor expectations.

Improving Teacher Quality Grants 2012-2013
Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), Title II, Part A
CFDA Number: 84.367
Improving Teacher Quality grants are authorized by the federal Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA; formerly known as NCLB), Title II, Part A law and are administered through the Colorado Department of Higher Education (DHE). The purpose of the grants is to increase P-12 student academic growth and achievement by improving educator effectiveness and the equitable distribution of effective educators throughout the state. These funds may be used to address professional development for in-service teachers, coursework for highly qualified paraprofessionals who are working toward teacher licensure or the need for more effective principals and assistant principals who are well-prepared for the schools and communities in which they will work. In exchange for receiving funds, partners will be held accountable to the public for improvements in P-12 student academic growth and achievement.
Development of four enrollment projection models (a 10-year forecast)
Contracted with Noel-Levitz, Inc. to develop four enrollment projection models (a 10-year forecast) for each CDHE institution (all public four-year and two-year public institutions in Colorado as tabulated in Appendix A of this agreement) for: college-bound high school seniors; new transfer students; new adult undergraduate students; and new graduate students (for those schools that enroll graduate students). Each model will include separate projections for specific race/ethnic groups. Individual school models will be aggregated into a statewide model, a model by sector, and a model by region. Noel- Levitz will provide spreadsheet workbooks for each model developed and will do an on-site presentation to CDHE staff on the implications of the modes. A written executive summary will also be provided. Results will be shared publicly and in-depth with Colorado public institutions.
Statewide College Participation Models
Contracted with Noel-Levitz, Inc. to develop five statewide college participation models on the propensity of high school sophomores (or seniors pending quality of CDHE data) to: attend college; attend a 2-year in-state public institution; attend a regional four-year public institution; attend a statewide 4-year public institution; or attend an in-state private or out-of-state public or private institution. Results will be shared publicly and in-depth with Colorado public institutions.
Report Coming Soon

Monheim Papers "I took the risk, and jumped off the cliff, and found out that there was something on the other side." by Hank Shteamer
In 2011, having realised the dream of many musicians — winning wide acclaim as part of a successful band — Greg Fox walked away. He'd spent the past two years playing with Liturgy, a New York outfit that reimagined black metal as, to borrow a phrase from one of its song titles, an ecstatic rite. Fox's drumming captured the headlong lunge at the heart of the genre but added a refreshing elasticity. As much a massage as an attack, his playing allowed the music to breathe. But months after they released their defining statement, the still breathtaking "Aesthethica", Fox decided he'd had enough. 'Liturgy was fun and educational,' he wrote in a statement at the time, 'but it's time for me to move forward.'
Departing Liturgy propelled Fox not just beyond a given band but beyond any sort of musical limitation. His output during the past decade is mind-boggling in its range: free-form electroacoustic duos with fellow drummer Kid Millions; epic instrumental doom-prog with Ex Eye; trance-inducing minimalist jams with Zs; exploratory psychedelia with Guardian Alien; heady electronica under the GDFX banner; and even a brief but fruitful return to Liturgy for 2015's challenging "The Ark Work". And that's only a partial list.
This project makes use of his spellbinding chops, combining a metal drummer's speed, power, and double-kick-pedal command with a startling fluidity derived from his in-depth study of advanced hand technique. But in Fox's musical world, virtuosity is never an end in and of itself.
After he left Liturgy, it was partly due to a chance encounter. Around this time, Fox says, friends of his started mentioning a familiar name: that of Milford Graves, the drummer, philosopher, healer, researcher, martial artist, and all-around visionary who'd revolutionized jazz drumming in the mid-'60s, and in the decades since, had become a sort of spirit guide to generations of improvisers in New York and across the globe. Fox knew of Graves, having come across his name in a college course and seen him play alongside John Zorn, so he decided to drop him an email. Some months later, he visited Graves in his combination drum studio and research lab in Jamaica, Queens, and what resulted was a friendship and mentorship that fundamentally altered Fox's worldview, and would last up through Graves' death at age 79 in early 2021.
'I was already, at the time when I met him, going through a big change, because I was unhinging myself from deriving the majority of my self-worth from being told that I was really good at playing drums in Liturgy,' Fox explains in a March Zoom call from his home in Brooklyn, also the site of his recording studio, Studio Te. 'I was unhooking from that, and while I was doing that, I was meeting Milford, and we were talking about slowing down, giving space to the playing, thinking about communication. It's not like I didn't have any experience improvising; I did. But it changed all of it completely for me. It began to take me out of an idea of constantly determining whether every note that I play is cool or not. Being with what's happening in the moment, and trusting it.
'Just trying to focus on being honest and not really trying to be — to some degree, maybe it's impossible to escape fully — but trying not to be impressive,' he continues. 'Or trying not to worry about being impressive.'
Meeting Graves yielded wondrous musical results. For example, Fox's transporting 2014 solo album, "Mitral Transmission", grew out of Graves' pioneering research into the ways that artists can study their own heart rhythms, and use them to enhance their work. 'He showed me what my heart sounded like," Fox says matter-of-factly. 'He showed me, with my heartbeat, all the rhythm that is contained in it.'
More broadly, this period represented a major junction in Fox's creative life, the moment when he left behind not just what he knew, but the musical context that others knew him for. 'I took the risk, and jumped off the cliff, and found out that there was something on the other side of that,' Fox says.
'I just was trying to find myself, trying to find my real voice, trying to find situations that felt good.'
The truth is that Greg Fox was probably never destined to be a one-band or one-genre drummer. He grew up in New York, enchanted early on by his father's copy of Frank Zappa's "Hot Rats" and the Nine Inch Nails and Cure records that a babysitter would play after picking him up from school. He started playing trumpet in fourth grade, then switched to drums a few years later, inspired by his maternal grandfather, an amateur jazz drummer. In high school, he saw jam bands perform at fabled New York club the Wetlands, and started delving into more bizarre sounds after a friend played him Mr. Bungle.
Once he graduated, he moved to Brooklyn with a friend and got a job at a Manhattan music store. There he met a future musical mentor, Guy Licata, who specialized in translating the sleek breakbeats of drum'n'bass and jungle to the drum kit. Licata taught him techniques for increasing hand speed, including the so-called "push-pull" method behind Buddy Rich's famed one-hand rolls, which Licata's own teacher Jojo Mayer had shown to him. Fox practiced hard, and those skills would later prove crucial in Liturgy and beyond.
Enrolling in college in upstate New York, Fox studied studio art alongside music and played metal with future Liturgy bandmate Bernard Gann. After school, he toured heavily with Teeth Mountain, a group that combined polyrhythmic drumming with expansive drone, and that would eventually sign on as the backing band for charismatic avant-pop composer/party-starter Dan Deacon.
So in 2009, when he joined Liturgy, Fox hardly fit the description of a typical black-metal drummer. But the band proved to be an ideal context for him to apply what he'd learned thus far and, from there, to develop a signature voice behind the drum kit.
'This thing that I was learning to do in a jungle kind of context, I learned and then took it and used it in a metal context,' Fox says. 'I wasn't doing it because I thought it would be clever; it just happened. And Liturgy is certainly extremely expressive music, so I was really able to put a lot of my energy and soul into that playing and using that technique. As I got better and better at using it and applying it to different things, all of a sudden, I found myself with my own style.'
But even as the group gained momentum and his own playing drew notice (in a 2009 New York Times review, Ben Ratliff called Fox 'one of the most exciting drummers I've seen recently in any kind of music'), Fox began to understand innately that playing metal wouldn't be an endpoint for him.
'I love that music and I love the community very much,' Fox says. "But there were times where we be at music festivals backstage and I would see some of the guys in other bands who looked like they'd been at it their entire lives and kind of look like their flesh was falling off their bones, and I just remember very clearly thinking, like, "I don't want to end up like that. I don't want that for myself. That's not who I am."'
Moreover, Liturgy itself had grown, as Fox describes it, 'interpersonally challenging'. So he moved on, and kept searching. 'I think I just was trying to find myself, trying to find my real voice, trying to find situations that felt good', he says. 'You know, not wanting to believe that it was necessary to, like, suffer to be a musician.'
'Sometimes I just think it's nice to play rock & roll with your friends.'
These days, it seems, situations that feel good are the only ones Fox has time for. With all touring cancelled during the pandemic, he's been finding fulfilment in drum practice, as well as teaching and what he calls 'transformational coaching'.
Among his most important projects of the pre-pandemic period is the band Quadrinity, which builds on his enchanting solo album "The Gradual Progression" from 2017 and with which he will come to Monheim. The record showcases Sensory Percussion, a state-of-the-art interface developed by Fox's friend Tlacael Esparza that, as Fox has put it, 'allows you to turn an acoustic drum kit into an extremely versatile MIDI controller'. The result is a lush sonic garden, where bits of vocals, saxophone and synths spring up around Fox's alternately serene and pummelling drum work.
Guitarist Michael Beharie, bassist Justin Frye and saxist Maria Kim Grand, all of whom appear on "The Gradual Progression", join Fox in Quadrinity, along with vocalist Angel Deradoorian. And while the group initially stemmed from Fox's album, he says he's more interested in embracing a collective-driven sound in future.
'That project is amazing because all of those people are, beyond being some of my favourite musicians that are alive, also some of my favourite people to be around and spend time with', Fox says. 'And their understanding individually and collectively about music vastly supersedes mine — from a theoretical point of view, especially — and so it's very cool to get to play with people who can talk about music in a way like that. To hear them discuss music ideas that I presented them in a language I don't understand is always really humbling. And because they're people who I love and trust very deeply, I never have to tell them what to do — to the degree that I decided I don't even want it to be my music; I just want it to be our music. So I think probably we'll just improvise.'
That same openness inform Fox's solo performances. Here he expands the aesthetic of "Contact", a 2020 solo album and the fullest realization yet of his use of Sensory Percussion to create a vibrant and enveloping 3-D sound world. But he's going to wait and see how he feels.
'Honestly', Fox says. 'when it comes to playing completely solo, I like to figure it out as I'm getting closer to it.'
In keeping with Fox's post-Liturgy revelation, the originally intended Monheim project of Fox was, interestingly, the one that's least geared toward showcasing his abilities and carefully honed musical language. Plainly and simply, a Black Sabbath cover band that features Fox, Deradoorian, Yeah Yeah Yeahs guitarist Nick Zinner, avant-metal shredder extraordinaire Mick Barr, and Interpol touring bassist Brad Truax playing orthodox but still passionate and personalized readings of classics like "War Pigs," Sweet Leaf" and "Fairies Wear Boots." Fox, Deradoorian and Zinner first performed Sabbath songs together in 2018, at Berlin's PEOPLE Festival, and the project grew from there, yielding a debut single, titled "Master of Rehearsal", in 2020.
'We did it there, it was the most fun thing in the world, and then we got home and we wanted to keep doing it, so we were like, "Who should we ask join?" and we just asked Mick and Brad and they were down and it very quickly became my favourite band I've ever done.'
At first, it might seem surprising to hear those words coming out of the mouth of a drummer known for innovation and restless creativity. But taken in the context of Fox's overall arc — painstakingly honing a fresh and, yes, impressive style only to come to the realization that there's more to music than showing people what you can do — it makes perfect sense.
"There's something cool about just doing the thing that feels good, that makes people feel good. It doesn't have to be, like, a guilty pleasure. I think the musical context that I and maybe a lot of other folks around me found ourselves in, is that everything has to have deep significance or deep meaning or be groundbreaking or edgy or boundary-pushing or transgressive, and it's just exhausting sometimes. Sometimes I just think it's nice to play rock & roll with your friends."
As he reflects on his path in 2021, a decade after jumping off the cliff and leaving behind his musical comfort zone, he sounds more sure than ever of what feels good to him — and, more broadly, what he values in music as a whole.
"When you see somebody play, there's a big difference between seeing somebody show you what they can do and show you how they're feeling," Fox says. "I just always resonated more with the latter."

Q: What does "output_dir="${1%/}" mean in .sh file? I have not seen the usage like this.Anyone can provide relevant information? The source code im2txt

A: See the bash manual:

${parameter%word}
  ${parameter%%word}
The word is expanded to produce a pattern and matched according to the rules described below (see Pattern Matching). If the pattern matches a trailing portion of the expanded value of parameter, then the result of the expansion is the value of parameter with the shortest matching pattern (the '%' case) or the longest matching pattern (the '%%' case) deleted. [...]

I emphasized the relevant alternative. The parameter in question is $1, i.e. the first command line argument the script was called with. The pattern is a simple / which will be removed if present. In other words, the expansion removes an optional trailing slash.
Demonstration (the y case shows that it's just a trailing pattern, z demonstrates no match):
$ x=aaa/; y=aaa/bbb; z=aaa; echo "$x    ->      ${x%/}"; echo "$y       ->      ${y%/}"; echo "$z       ->      ${z%/}"
aaa/    ->      aaa
aaa/bbb ->      aaa/bbb
aaa     ->      aaa

A: It basically removes the last "/" character from the ending of the first string received as a parameter of the script in cause.
If you had "/home/users/" as a string, then output_dir would become "/home/users"
You can find more details on string manipulation in bash here.

Fang Ngil II
African Fang Tribe Mask of Social Order Wood Wall Mask, 'Fang Ngil II'
Long and lean, the Fang ngil mask is worn by those belonging to the Ngil association of the Fang people of Gabon. Their duty is to preserve social order. Ghanaian artisan Christopher Nyasafo carves by hand the sese wood mask replica and decorates it with an off-white face and dark brown headdress.
Sese wood

21.75" H x 4.9" W x 2.8" D
Masks Gabonese Masks Wood Masks Black and White Masks Black or Gray Masks Brown Masks White Masks
Artfully crafted by Christopher Nyasafo from West Africa.
Christopher Nyasafo
"My favorite thing about this craft is making people happy with my creations."
"The years I've been working with you have been my best years ever. I have seen a lot of marvelous changes in terms of my designing, finances and family life. Family-wise, I have been able to cater for my own children's education to the Tertiary level, as well as the education of other children.
"While enjoying success with you, I have also had some challenges, like trying to get land to plant my own trees for wood. It has been very difficult; the price of land is very expensive or it is not available at all. Now my focus is to target a place far away from Accra to purchase less expensive land. By acquiring the land, I can grow my own trees to obtain wood for carving; that's a way of encouraging reforestation. I know with time I will be able to acquire land to start my tree planting efforts.
"What I have noticed is that, once you get diligent with a project, you will certainly grow. My sales have increased by 100% over the past year. Previously, I was working in Accra, but now I have expanded to the Eastern region. I only do finishing in Accra. I have four permanent carvers who collaborate with me, with one of them being physically challenged.
"It's overwhelming how you've changed my life for the better, to the extent that my children are graduating from the university."
"My name is Christopher Nyasafo and I was born in Accra. I like to carve wood. Growing up in Accra, I developed a passion for carving. I learned from many teachers like Mr. Louis Botchway. I started by helping out with errands outside of the workshop. Gradually, I started to cut logs, then began sanding and finishing pieces. Over time, I learned to love this craft.
"I create sculptures, masks and musical instruments. I use sese wood, soot, cola nuts and acrylic paints. I am inspired by colors, the environment and other artists, and especially enjoy making people happy with my creations.
"I earned a business degree because I knew that I could get further with an education the more I pursued this art. It was very difficult and time-consuming starting out on my own. Finding information about where to get funds to start and sell my creations hasn't been easy.
"I now teach six assistants in my workshop, and I hope to have more beginners who are willing to learn. I mastered this craft by being willing to learn from my instructors, working hard and being trustworthy. My craft has been a source of income to my assistants who are now taking care of their homes and children. Even the food vendors who come to sell to my workers take the remaining scraps of wood to use as firewood for those who can't afford to buy charcoal or gas.
"My hope is to establish a modern workshop outside of Accra to accommodate and train young people interested in woodcarving. My dream is to establish a farm which will be the main source of my materials."

…and I'll never tell …unless you want to partner on a skincare product line.
I recently decided to be the Guinea Pig and test something on my face…that instinct proved right! The skin plumped up instantly, fine lines reduced, the under-eye area appeared lifted and smooth! None of my eye creams or skin-care oroducts do that! Eat your heart out Garnier, L'Oréal…or better yet, call me- we need to talk. I tried it again a couple times…same results, so now comes research, then hopefully a partnership & clinical trials.
I've been using anti-aging products since probably the age of 13, and there is a list of ingredients I believe in and buy several different products from different brands for- I want to create a product line that combines these ingredients into one essential product line.

A disappointing end to the year for Middlesbrough, but more reason to be optimistic about 2021
Middlesbrough lost 2-1 to Sheffield Wednesday in their final game of 2020, but it's not one to get too down about
Craig JohnsMiddlesbrough FC writer
It was by no means the way anyone at Middlesbrough wanted to end 2020.
Sheffield Wednesday would have been seen as a game Boro should have been winning, with the Owls struggling at the wrong end of the table.
In that regard, the 2-1 defeat at Hillsborough was both disappointing and frustrating.
And yet, the minute Wednesday sacked Tony Pulis on the eve of Boro's visit, a bad feeling lingered over the game - now against a side who'd have extra freedom and less pressure having quickly grown frustrated of the ex-Middlesbrough manager's tactics and style.
Those fears were compounded after just two minutes when the hosts launched a quick free-kick and almost caught Middlesbrough cold - that enough to give the strugglers enough confidence to continue their positive mentality throughout.
And yet, despite that and the end result, Boro were probably the better of the two sides overall and certainly had the better chances on the game. When you lose 2-1 after having 21 attempts at goal to your opponents' five, sometimes you just have to accept it's not been your night.
Not to ignore, of course, that it highlighted some flaws in Boro's squad that we're all aware of. The finishing ought to have been better and their inconsistency in terms of creativity was back again as a number of disappointing crosses were delivered.
But Boro showed fight and channelled half-time frustrations in the right way to make a real go of the second half.
We talk a lot about transformation under Warnock, and it's not hard to imagine last year the wheels coming off after the interval, with temperatures threatening to boil over before the players made it back to the changing rooms. It would have been easy for Boro, unfortunate to be two-down at that point, to let their frustrations affect their discipline causing a second-half capitulation.
That they didn't allow that is exactly why we shouldn't get too down about the defeat - as frustrating as it is.
This Boro side has its flaws and inefficiencies, but one thing they don't lack is fight and heart. It's what all successful Warnock teams have, and why we should look ahead to 2021 with optimism and keen intrigue.
Make no mistake that Boro's obvious flaws make them outsiders for a top-six finish. That's no issue for Warnock though - in fact, it's how he likes it.

January will be a critical month in dictating exactly where the next year takes us, but Warnock won't want to make any signings that disrupt the honest, hard-working group he has.
While Boro's poor finishing proved costly at Sheffield Wednesday, it was two sloppy moments of defending that was most-defining. Both goals were avoidable and the result of individual errors. For Warnock's Boro, that's not been a regularity, and there's no reason to believe it will start to be either.
Boro have only lost consecutive games once this season. They tend to always bounce back from bad results. Even when they did lose two in a row - to Stoke and Preston recently - they then responded with three straight wins that saw them net eight and concede just one.
A testament to their character, they know how to respond in the right way.
There's no need to get carried away - either positively or negatively - after Sheffield Wednesday. The defeat hasn't changed much in terms of what we already knew about Boro. They have their flaws, but they have far more positive attributes.
It's what sets us up for an intriguing 2021, with a top-six finish very much up for grabs, and this team more than capable of achieving it.
No need to get too down about the Sheffield Wednesday loss. The key now is kicking off 2021 in the right way by beating Wycombe Wanderers on Saturday.

As Coleridge said "water, water everywhere, nor any drop to drink." This, of course, refers to salt water. But California has certainly had more than its share of fresh water falling from the skies this winter and we do have plenty to drink, fortunately. But does this drought-busting rainfall allow us to freely turn on the taps? Not really.
First a little about water itself. Water has the amazing and unique property of existing as a solid, liquid or gas in nature. And there's a lot of it all around us. Amazingly, we know there are 326 million trillion gallons of water on earth and that only 2.5 percent of all of this water is fresh, with two-thirds of it currently locked up in ice caps and glaciers. Another 21 percent is found in lakes. Rivers, which feed the lakes, account for a tiny fraction, 0.49 percent of fresh water, but humans get a large portion of their water from rivers.
Our bodies are 60 percent water and we can only survive 3 to 10 days without this life-giving substance. Plants are 90 percent water and water enables photosynthesis to happen, without which all life would cease. Water has existed on Earth since before the sun formed and as it moves through the water cycle from evaporation off the ocean, to rain and snow, runoff back into the ocean, we drink that water over and over again, the same water that has existed since the beginning of Mother Earth. Awesome, isn't it?
Marin isn't in a drought, but some parts of the state still are. This doesn't mean that we don't need to conserve any more because we need to treat water like the precious resource it is. Annoying as it is, I'm still saving the 2 gallons of water it takes to get hot water to my shower, which I pour into the washing machine or use to water houseplants.
What's the likely fallout of all this rain? Recently I heard Steven Swain, the UC Cooperative Extension environmental horticulture advisor, talk about erosion. He pointed out that when our hillsides were covered with perennial native grasses they had the ability to hold more water than they do now, covered with annual grasses. This change over many years has resulted in more erosion and slides, termed mass erosion.
For parts of the county that are flat where houses are built on what was once agricultural land, it's possible we'll see some trees dying in the coming months. Since much of our land has clay soil, when it was tilled in times past the tractors moving over it compacted the clay. This creates what's called a hardpan underneath. When topsoil is put on top of hardpan a bowl is created, which holds water. Most tree roots are in the top 12 inches of soil. Trees need air in the soil and can't last long in a bowl of water, so the longer fields and yards stay wet the more likely some trees will drown and even topple. If you observe a tree that's declining consider getting a certified arborist out to figure out what's happening.
Master Gardeners, in partnership with Marin Municipal Water District and other water districts in Marin, come to your garden and make recommendations on how to improve your water efficiency, as well as your soil and plant health. These water walks will resume after the ground has a little time to dry out. You can request a walk by calling 415-473-4204.
Interested in learning more? Peggy Mathers, master gardener and garden walk coordinator, will explain how our assumptions about water have changed and will continue to evolve at a free talk, "Water: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow," from noon to 1 p.m. March 23 at the Civic Center Library in San Rafael.

The son of notoriously bizarre underground filmmaker Robert Downey Sr., Downey, Jr. became associated during the '80s with the so-called "brat pack," appearing mainly in films for disgruntled youths like Less Than Zero and Weird Science.
Downey, Jr.'s career during the '90s was characterized by flamboyant drug problems and multiple arrests. This culminated into a three-year-prison sentence toward the end of the decade, which was later reduced to one year with a hefty fine.
After a few hiccups, Downey, Jr. has managed to stay clean and has become a more beloved public figure than ever, winning the hearts and minds of filmgoers all over the nation and the world with his portrayal of Tony Stark in Marvel's Iron Man films.
Was this a great comeback?

Semi-ironically adored for decades as the titular child star of popular sitcom Doogie Howser, M.D., Harris endured several years of C-list status before an appearance with Nathan Fillion in Joss Whedon's web miniseries Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog rejuvenated his geek street cred. Soon after, Harris was cast in the popular series "How I Met Your Mother" with fellow cult TV stars Alyson Hannigan and Jason Segal.
In 2014, Harris won the Tony Award for Best Actor in a Musical for his Broadway performance as intersexed rockstar Hedwig Schmidt in the revival of John Cameron Mitchell's Hedwig and the Angry Inch.

From Teen Wolf to Bluth Boy, Bateman has had quite a ride. After getting his TV start on the early 80s "Little House on the Prairie" series, Bateman really started to make his mark on "Valerie," even becoming the DGA's youngest-ever director, taking the helm for a few episodes of the series, in which he also had an acting role.
Then, Bateman fell into obscurity for the better part of the 90s, unable to make a graceful transition from teen star, including the box office flop that was Teen Wolf Too. Then came the Bluth era of the early 2000s, when Bateman came back in a big way, as the only sane member of the highly dysfunctional family on critically-acclaimed and fan-favorite series "Arrested Development." This role relaunched his career, which has since included roles in films like Juno, Up in the Air, and Horrible Bosses. Bateman won a Golden Globe for the role in 2005, and was nominated twice for an Emmy - in 2005 and 2013, after "Arrested Development" was revived on Netflix.

Definitely one of the youngest people in the industry to go nuts and make a full recovery, Drew Barrymore has been starring in movies since early childhood and published a drug memoir at the tender age of 14. As a child, Barrymore spent half a decade as Hollywood's adorable moppet du jour, appearing in Cat's Eye, Firestarter, and Stephen Spielberg's E.T. Known for precocious and rebellious behavior, Barrymore's career ground to a halt in in 1989 when she was forced into rehab twice, once for cocaine addiction, and then a second time for trying to kill herself.
Barrymore's public image turned around in 1995 when she starred alongside Whoopi Goldberg and Mary Louise Parker in Boys On the Side, playing a wild and impulsive young woman, much like herself, attempting to escape from an abusive relationship. The following year, her memorable appearance in Wes Craven's Scream cemented her return to prominence. Barrymore has gone on to write, direct, produce, and star in numerous Hollywood productions.

Yes - Yessongs
YES has always been regarded as a unique rock group and progressive rock legends. Never afraid to innovate or draw their inspiration from music that traversed the spectrum from symphonic to rock, YES has been at the forefront of progressive rock and became a major force in popular music selling over 30 million albums and reaching platinum status multiple times worldwide. During the late 1960's YES were renowned for their live performances culminating in their seminal album and film of the same name, YESSONGS.
Filmed in 1972 at London's Rainbow theatre, this feature film was released theatrically in the UK the following year with a quadrophonic sound track. The film features their new line-up of the time Jon Anderson, Chris Squire, Steve Howe, Rick Wakeman and Alan White.
