Perio leads to inflammatory state in the Central Nervous System and spreading of gram negative bacteria.
The presence of certain systemic conditions may actually enhance or intensify the response to the oral biofilms beyond what would occur if the systemic condition were not present. Numerous conditions potentially modify biofilm accumulation and disease progression. Bacteria are essential for the development of periodontitis but they are insufficient by themselves. A rather large # of genetic and environmental or acquired factors place individuals at risk for periodontitis.
Perio may itself be a risk factor for other infections in the body, systemic diseases, and pregnancy related problems. Risk factors may predict but not necessarily cause them.

Another big residential project planned for North Williams
By: Lindsey O'Brien	in dailyblog December 14, 2011 4:11 pm
An 86-unit apartment complex is proposed for North Williams Avenue. Rendering courtesy of LRS Architects
Lots of eyes are fixed on North Portland.
The team behind the 72-unit mixed-use building that is going up near the corner of North Williams Avenue and North Fremont Street (The Albert) has drawn up plans for a second, similar project to be built just up the street, between Skidmore and Mason streets.
Jack Menashe proposes a four-story, 76,866-square-foot building will have 84 residential units, ground-floor retail space and on-site parking for 66 vehicles, some of which will be condensed by a machine that can stack cars. LRS Architects' design will be up for a Type II design review in January.
The string of shops and restaurants along North Williams (Tasty n Sons, Ristretto, the HUB Bikes and Beans, etc.) continue to bring tons of people to the area. While that may make the area prime for residential development, the traffic is sparking another related debate about how to balance all of the pedestrians, bikes and vehicles vying for safe space on the road.
Some people weren't crazy about the Albert coming into the neighborhood – too tall, wrong aesthetic, gentrification. But a ton of people want to live in this area. I wonder what the neighbors will say about the new project?

I agree Ellen and Brian, the design is a major concern. The MLK/Fremont building is like a lighthouse with a jail, and note that no business has been able to last there. Hope to make the neigh assoc meeting Monday, but thanks for raising your voices on this!
Jim golden
They said the same thing about Tupelo Station and the Miss. lofts…but they went up. I'm personally shocked by the Albert as are most of the people in the neighborhood
Diana Moosman
The scale of this development is way off for any neighborhood street in NE. Only on MLK are there full block developments with monotonous massing like the Rachel and Albert. Most all developments along Mississippi, Alberta and Williams have broken up the massing within the distance of a full block. This scale is truly ruining the quality of N. Williams.
Ellen Cusick
@Brian Libby
I sincerely agree with you, Brian. I wrote the appeal on The Albert Apartments and couldn't have been more disappointed with the Design Review decision made. Design of that quality doesn't belong in this city.
Brian Libby
You get what you hire. Has anyone seen the concrete lighthouse LRS did at MLK and Fremont?
Angela Webber
Rumor is that the new building will be similar in design to the recently topped-out "Albert," and may be named "The Rachel." Apparently Albert and Rachel were Menashe's grandparents.

<c:forEach  items="${dashboardBean.barModel}" var="barChart">
                                <p:column>
                            <p:chart type="bar" model="#{barChart}" style="height:400px">
                                <p:commandButton type="button" value="Export"
                                                 onclick="PF('dlg1').show();"/>
                                    </p:chart>
                                <p:dialog widgetVar="dlg1"
                                          height="450px" width="800px" >
                                    <p:chart type="bar" model="#{barChart}"/>
                                </p:dialog>
                                </p:column>
                            </c:forEach>

And here is how the popup chart looks like:

Thanks,

A: 100% untested, so take it as an idea. Make selectedBarChart a property on the bean.
<c:forEach  items="${dashboardBean.barModel}" var="barChart">
    <p:column>
        <p:chart type="bar" model="#{barChart}" style="height:400px">
            <p:commandButton value="Export" update=":dlg1" oncomplete="PF('dlg1').show();">
                <f:setPropertyActionListener target="#{dashboardBean.selectedBarChart}" value="#{barChart}" />
            </p:commandButton>
        </p:chart>
    </p:column>
</c:forEach>

<p:dialog id="dlg1" widgetVar="dlg1" appendTo="@(body)" height="450px" width="800px" >
    <p:chart type="bar" model="#{dashboardBean.selectedBarChart}"/>
</p:dialog>

I think c:forEach must be replaced with ui:repeat, but not sure

Former Georgian President and ex-Governor of Ukraine's Odessa Region Mikheil Saakashvili has forced his entry to Ukraine, helped by a crowd of his supporters, State Border Guard Service of Ukraine spokesman Oleh Slobodyan said on Sunday.
KIEV (Sputnik) — Slobodyan said Saakashvili "illegally crossed the border" as he and his supporters did not pass through security checks.
"The crowd… broke through the Shegini checkpoint… in fact, one could say, invaded the territory of Poland, took Mikheil Saakashvili, started a fight with the border guards and dragged Saakashvili into the territory of Ukraine," Slobodyan told the UNIAN news agency.

Earlier in the day, Saakashvili, stripped of the Ukrainian citizenship in July, boarded a train heading from Poland to Ukraine. However, he was asked to get off the train while still in Poland. After that, he said he would enter the country by car.

Saakashvili was stripped of his Ukrainian citizenship by President Petro Poroshenko in July on the pretext of violating the country's law. The former Georgian leader was in the United States at the time when Poroshenko made his decision and said he would file to appeal the decision of the Ukrainian President in court.
The Ukrainian Border Service said it will not allow the ex-governor to enter Ukraine if he attempts to cross the border. Despite that, Saakashvili vowed to return to the country along with thousands of supporters.
The former Georgian president was appointed the Odessa Region's governor in May 2015 and stripped of Georgian citizenship upon receiving his Ukrainian passport. He resigned in November 2016, accusing Ukrainian officials of a lack of interest in the fight against corruption.

Sticker shock over gas tax hike should prompt questions about where the money will be spent, Palatine resident says
by Robert Hadley | Jul 12, 2019
In addition to the initial sticker shock of Gov. J.B. Pritzker's 19-cents-a-gallon fuel tax hike, the tax will likely raise Illinois' overall cost of living as well, according to a Palatine resident.
Mark J. Cramer, a member of the District 211 School Board, says that while busy voters may not see the tax's ripple effect, it will be felt in numerous ways.
"It used to cost $25 to fill a tank, now it's $30," Cramer told the North Cook News. "The next thing they're going to see is the price of eggs is going to go up. The gasoline tax is going to affect retailers, as well. It's going to increase the cost of business and it's going to be passed back to the consumer."
Cramer spoke on the condition that his comments would be credited to him alone and do not reflect the school administration's position.
Although voters may initially question the jump in gas prices, Cramer predicted many will dismiss it as necessary to fund road and other projects.
"The concern I've heard is maybe the tax is needed because we do have some infrastructure things we need to do," Cramer said. "But I don't really believe the money's going to go to what Pritzker says it's going to."
Cramer said he was aware of "anecdotal" reports about upgrades to parks or diverting dollars to road projects, but said he and other voters remain skeptical.
"So people don't give any credibility [to reports] that the money is going to what it was supposed to go for," he cautioned.
The gasoline tax is part of 20 new tax and fee hikes the governor has proposed or implemented since taking office, according to the Illinois Policy Institute. Cramer said taxing cigarettes, alcohol and other items may largely go unnoticed by the electorate.
"Those 'sin tax' things I don't think people are going to be so much opposed to them, because it's going to be somebody else [using them]," he explained.
As for talk among lawmakers about smoking and drinking prevention programs and wellness initiatives, Cramer said voters seem doubtful.
"I don't think anybody thinks the money is going to go to preventative and health-related programs," he said. "It's going to go to pork-barrel projects in favored legislators' districts."

Tonight on YES: 9:30 p.m.
BRIDGEPORT, Conn. - The Ballpark at Harbor Yard, the home of the Bridgeport Bluefish of the independent Atlantic League of Professional Baseball, is 54 miles from Yankee Stadium. It's one of three Atlantic League venues within roughly an hour's drive from the Bronx, but to those playing on the circuit, it can sometimes feel as far away from "The Show" as anything.
In the eight-team Atlantic League, even the largest of parks are equivalent to mid-level minor-league stadiums, and the dreamed-about major-league life of charter planes and five-star accommodations is replaced by hours-long bus rides, shared hotel rooms, and, for many, calling "home" either a hotel room or a spare bedroom with a host family in the local area of their current team.
It's a familiar life for some, but a radical change for any of the numerous players in the league who have sipped at least one cup of coffee from MLB's chalice.
"We've had some of the toughest travel I've ever seen; in the first month, we've had six bus times earlier than 2:30 A.M.," said Dan Johnson, a six-team MLB vet who is in Bridgeport continuing his conversion into a knuckleball pitcher. "It's been tough, especially at my age. I've been spoiled in my career playing in the upper levels with good lights, good fields, veteran umpires…I'm learning here you have to swing at things you might not normally because there's no working at-bats, and on ground balls, you may get whacked in the face on a bad hop. It's been a tough challenge in that way."
On the other side, though, while the Atlantic League is not affiliated with Major League Baseball, the circuit is quite well-known within its circles. From 2013-2015, nearly 100 players were signed out of the Atlantic by affiliated organizations, and prior to last season, the league became the first independent to forge an agreement with MLB formalizing a process for purchasing players' contracts.
Already this year, three Bluefish have been signed away, two of them with Yankees ties; one is RHP David Carpenter, who spent part of last season in the Bronx and is now in the Angels organization, and the other is RHP David Kubiak, a Long Island native who has a Yankees tattoo on his left arm and earned the pinstripes to go with it when he was signed on May 4 and sent to Double-A Trenton.
"We're like a big family, and everyone's goal is to get to the next level - in this case, get signed to affiliated ball - so we're always excited for those guys," said Bluefish RHP D.J. Mitchell, a former Yankees draft pick who was one of two players the Bombers traded to Seattle for Ichiro Suzuki in 2012. "You definitely are hoping you get the call as well, but at the same time, you know when someone else does, it's well deserved for them and hopefully they do well.
Johnson, now 36, and Mitchell, who just turned 29 on May 13, are two of four players currently on the Bluefish roster (and two of more than a dozen in the league) who have been Bronx or Baby Bombers at some point, and they know that the struggle is real, but ultimately hopefully worthwhile.
"We've had maybe three games where it hasn't rained on us, and our home games have all been cold. We've had a lot of injuries as well, and there's no extra players or budget to sign extra guys, so there's been no days off," Johnson said. "It's kind of a grind, but it's what you have to deal with.
"The competition here is great - there are a lot of guys with big-league time here, and then there are guys that you sometimes at and wonder how they ended up here and never got the affiliated opportunity," added Mitchell. "Like I said, everyone's goal is to get to the next level, so it's very competitive and it's enjoyable baseball."
Unlike Mitchell, who made four relief appearances in the Bronx, Johnson never played for the New York Yankees, but he counts 133 games at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in 2013 as his pinstriped credential, and he cashed a major-league paycheck as recently as last summer with St. Louis.
Those two are joined on the Bluefish by infielder Luis Nunez, who was in the Yankees system from 2005-11, and right-hander Jonathan Albaladejo, who made 66 appearances out of the Bombers bullpen (and 90 more in the minors) from 2008 to 2010 and won a World Series ring with the 2009 team.
A handful of other Bluefish have played in the Majors but most of them haven't, and for both Mitchell and Johnson, their current opportunity to play is also a chance to be a mentor.
"There are a lot of guys here who haven't played affiliated ball, so what I try to get across to the guys is that it's not getting there, but staying there that is the hardest part," said Johnson. "I'm trying to groom them to understand things so they don't have to learn when they get there; they understand what I'm talking about and they can hit the ground running because they know what to expect. Labels in the big leagues go a long way, so I try to get across to them to play hard all the time; most of the guys know that if they have the talent they'll get there, it's whether or not you can stay there."
"For me, it's not just that I've been in the Majors, it's that I've been here, because ultimately you have to get comfortable here and learn about the league," added Mitchell, who is in his third season with the Bluefish. "Obviously, knowing what it takes to get to the big leagues, I help guys as much as I can with a lot of little things; it's like a big family, so we try to help each other with whatever we can but it's not just them learning; I can also learn something from these guys, too."
Johnson, for one, can attest to Mitchell's statements. His last stop before Bridgeport was the Tampa Bay Rays, who signed him last winter intending to try out his knuckleball, but when an injury prevented that from coming to fruition, off he came to the Park City to learn from new pitching coach Jesse Litsch, whose own MLB career was cut short due to multiple shoulder injuries.
"Jesse is why I came here; I can throw a knuckleball, but what I needed was mechanics, and someone to teach me how to throw and repeat my mechanics over and over and over," Johnson said. "I talked to him before I came here, and knowing that he had been doing some developmental stuff in China and that he was going to be here to help me was huge."
And as they learn, Johnson and the others can then pass that knowledge down to guys who hope one day to be standing in their major-league shoes, even if they're right now in the same ones in a sense.
"Jesse, Albie...they all tell me I have nasty stuff and teach me different things to help me improve it, and that's been huge for me," said righty Joe Kuzia, who was pitching in high school in nearby Seymour during Albaladejo's Yankees tenure. "Carpenter was great, too, and Dan, he has a good grip on things but he's just new to pitching, so he's basically going through the same steps as I am."
Carpenter is gone and any or all of the others may too depart someday, but the lessons they've given will carry on - and departure also doesn't necessarily mean that class is dismissed, either.
"When Carp was here, we were working on a split-finger changeup, just getting grip down and tossing it lightly," Kuzia explained, "and I still, I text him every now and then just to go over some things."
An Angel, Kuzia says, not just in uniform, but in life, too - and such is life in the Atlantic League.
