FREE SOIL -- Manistee County and the surrounding areas are full of music during a typical summer. Any night of the week, during a typical summer, one doesn't have to drive far to find an outdoor concert.
But, since this is not a typical summer, concerts are few and far between.
So, two local brothers are fulfilling a lifelong dream by hosting the first ever Forest Trail Music Festival this weekend.
Bryce and Noah Cameron, with the blessing of and help from their parents Mark and Jennifer, will hold the event on the family's property at 352 W. Forest Trail Road in Free Soil - just west of U.S. 31 and just south of the Manistee-Mason county line.
"My brother and I have always had the idea of doing a festival of our own," Bryce Cameron said. "We grew up going to festivals with our family. This year, with everything being canceled, we thought it was the perfect time.
"It started with my mom wanting to have just a few friends, and then my brother and I took that idea and ran with it," Bryce Cameron continued.
On the festival's Facebook page, the brothers say, "This is our low key way of supporting our local traditional musicians and artists and creating a very humble fill-in for multiple Michigan music festivals that were canceled due to COVID-19."
In addition to local musicians, the festival has also booked several big names from the folk and bluegrass music circuits.
Gates will open at the festival grounds at 10 a.m. on Friday and performances will begin at 3 p.m.
Bryce Cameron said they will comply with Michigan's rules for outdoor gatherings by counting attendees at any of the particular areas of the festival grounds.
"We're going to try to keep the crowds down in any particular area and if it gets too big, we'll scale it back and not let anyone else in until people leave. The biggest thing is that we're asking people to maintain social distance and wear masks. We're going to be keeping things cleaned and sanitized, taking all the necessary precautions."
Bryce and Noah Cameron are musicians themselves and will take the stage several times during the weekend.
"Mostly it's my brother who is the musician," Bryce Cameron said. " He and I are going to be doing the first act. I play guitar a little bit, but I wouldn't call myself a musician, and my brother is very talented on the piano and drums."
Noah Cameron will lead a drum circle/jam session starting at midnight Friday and Saturday.
"That's when everybody jams out and has fun," Noah Cameron said.
For those who don't want to miss a minute of the festival, tents and campers are welcome but reservations for camping must be made in advance (instructions are on the Facebook page).
Donations will be taken at the gate to cover the cost of the professional musicians and collections will be taken for local artists as they perform.
The Facebook page bills the festival as a "weekend of peace, love, music and tie dye."
"My mom is a tie dye wizard, so she's running the show for that," Bryce Cameron said.
Attendees are asked to bring a white clothing item for tie dying, which is set for 5 p.m. Friday.
Both brothers say the main purpose of the event is to have fun and enjoy good music.
"We're trying to give artists an outlet to replace those that have been taken from them this summer," Bryce Cameron said. "Since we grew up going to folk music and bluegrass festivals we have strong feelings for them.
"A big part of this is that we want to prove that even with the virus people can have a good time and be safe as long as we all work together and be mindful of what we have to do to remain safe," he added.
"We're looking forward to having people come out and support our area musicians," Noah Cameron said.

The Northside Community Development Fund (NSCDF) held its annual Partnership Recognition luncheon Thursday, Nov. 20 at the Lexus Club in PNC Park.
Peoples Natural Gas CEO and president Morgan O'Brien served as the keynote speaker as over 200 guests attended, including numerous Northside business and community leaders, local elected officials, and small business and community development lenders.
Since 2000, the NSCDF has financed more than 200 Northside businesses and 18 strategic real estate projects, including providing acquisition funds for the recently announced redevelopment of the former ARC House site on East Ohio Street in Historic Deutschtown, and since 2006 has grown its loan capital base from $2 million to more than $14 million.
Since 2006, 32 percent of the fund's business loans and investments have been to minority-owned firms and 29 percent have been to women-owned firms.
The fund accepted four checks that will help further its work on residential and commercial lending, including a $4.5 million check presented by PNC Bank.
The check represented PNC's $500,000 low interest loan and its $4 million investment in the fund's New Markets Tax Credit subsidiary.
With his office in North Shore, O'Brien cited the change in the business and professional landscape in Northside, citing more young professionals and companies moving to the area.
Since 2000, businesses receiving assistance from the fund have created or retained more than 800 jobs.

Avec Gaétane Thiney, d'un mois sa cadette, Élise débute en Division 1 à quinze ans aux côtés de la meilleure buteuse de l'équipe de France Marinette Pichon. Avec Thiney, Bussaglia perd la finale la Coupe de France féminine des moins de 16 ans en 2001 avec l'équipe de la Ligue de Champagne-Ardenne.

Début de carrière et premiers titres (2002-2007)
Au CNFE Clairefontaine depuis 1998, Bussaglia reste d'abord détachée auprès de ses clubs pour les matchs de championnat le week-end. À partir de 2002, afin de faire évoluer au maximum les jeunes françaises, la Fédération française de football fait participer l'équipe première du CNFE en première division et Élise l'intègre.

Bussaglia effectue une saison 2003-2004 pleine avec le CNFE et vingt matchs de D1 disputés.

En 2004, Élise Bussaglia s'engage sous les couleurs du FCF Juvisy. Pour la saison 2004-2005, elle joue 22 matchs et marque deux buts. L'équipe gagne aussi le Challenge de France. Contre l'Olympique lyonnais en finale, Élise tire et marque le premier tir-au-but (0-0 tab 5-4).

Son talent se révèle avec 22 matchs joués les deux exercices suivants. Après le baccalauréat, Bussaglia décide de devenir institutrice. , raconte-t-elle.

Avec ce club de la banlieue parisienne, elle remporte le titre de Championne de France 2005-2006. Bussaglia marque quatre buts.

Ce trophée permet à Élise de disputer pour la première fois la Coupe de l'UEFA et son premier match lors de la victoire 6-0 contre KÍ Klaksvík le . En championnat, Juvisy termine troisième et Bussaglia améliore encore son nombre de buts marqués avec sept unités.

Poursuite dans l'élite français (2007-2012)
En 2007, elle est transférée au Montpellier HSC. Bussaglia arrive dans une équipe double vice-championne de France après deux titres consécutifs. En 2007-2008, le groupe finit troisième de D1.

Pour sa deuxième saison montpelliéraine, l'équipe remporte le Challenge national 2008-2009 mais Élise n'est pas présente en finale et n'est pas considérée lauréate. Le groupe se qualifie pour la Ligue des champions suivante, en tant que vice-championne de France. Pendant cette période, elle devient une pièce importante de l'équipe de France.

En 2009, elle rejoint la capitale et le Paris Saint-Germain. Sa première saison est en demi-teinte (18 matchs, deux buts) mais elle remporte le premier Challenge de France de l'histoire du club. En finale contre son ancienne équipe de Montpellier, Élise marque le quatrième but d'une large victoire (5-0).

Diplômée de professorat l'année où elle signe au PSG, Bussaglia enseigne une année. À 25 ans, elle fait sa première rentrée comme professeure des écoles en 2010 à Carrières-sous-Poissy. , raconte la footballeuse. Pour autant, elle réalise une bien meilleure saison 2010-2011 que la première avec dix buts en 22 matchs, ce qui lui vaut de remporter le trophée UNFP de meilleure joueuse de l'année et de terminer vice-championne de France.

En 2011-2012, l'équipe termine quatrième de D1 et est éliminée en huitième de finale de C1.

Échecs européens à Lyon et Wolfsbourg (2012-2017)
Élise Bussaglia signe à l'été 2012 dans le meilleur club français, l'Olympique Lyonnais, et se met en disponibilité de son activité d'institutrice, dont elle restera jusqu'à la fin de sa carrière. Dès la première année, elle remporte le doublé coupe-championnat. L'équipe perd aussi en finale de la Ligue des champions 2012-2013 face au VfL Wolfsbourg (0-1) mais Élise ne prend pas part au match.

Après une saison en demi-teinte, Élise fait à nouveau sensation et devient titulaire au sein de cette équipe concurrentielle. Un nouveau doublé rempli son palmarès. En finale de la Coupe de France, Bussaglia entre en jeu juste avec que les deux seuls buts de la rencontre soient marqués. En Coupe d'Europe, l'équipe réalise son plus mauvais parcours et une élimination en huitièmes de finale.

En 2014-2015, Lyon réalise à nouveau le doublé national mais Bussaglia ne prend pas part à la finale de la Coupe de France et n'est pas reconnue lauréate. En Ligue des champions, c'est un nouvel échec et une sortie en huitième de finale.

En , Élise Bussaglia annonce sa signature pour la saison suivante dans le club allemand du VfL Wolfsbourg. Elle y connaît deux bonnes saisons.

En 2015-2016, Bussaglia entre à la mi-temps et remporte la Coupe d'Allemagne.

L'exercice suivant est ponctué d'un titre de championne d'Allemagne 2007. Dans la revanche de la finale de C1 2013, Bussaglia est à nouveau du mauvais côté en 2016 et la victoire lyonnaise (0-0 tab 7-6).

Barcelone puis retour en France (depuis 2017)
Bussaglia signe à l'été 2017 au FC Barcelone. Sa première saison est réussie sur le plan personnel avec une place de titulaire. L'équipe atteint les quarts-de-finale de la Ligue des champions et est vice-championne d'Espagne.

Entre septembre et , elle ne joue qu'un match avec le Barça. En manque de temps de jeu, Élise rejoint le Dijon FCO durant l'hiver 2018-2019 avec l'objectif d'être retenue pour la Coupe du monde 2019. Elle y porte le numéro 29 et s'engage pour un an et demi. Sur la seconde partie de saison 2018-2019, Bussaglia joue huit matchs de D1 et trois de Coupe de France avec l'équipe dijonnaise.

En , au terme de la saison 2019-2020, arrêtée pour cause de pandémie de coronavirus, Bussaglia prend sa retraite sportive et reprend son métier d'enseignante.

En équipe nationale
Élise Bussaglia fait ses débuts en équipe de France des moins de 16 ans.

Avec la sélection des moins de 19 ans, elle remporte le Championnat d'Europe 2003 notamment aux côtés de Sarah Bouhaddi et Gaëtane Thiney, encadrées par Bruno Bini.

Élise connaît sa première apparition en équipe de France le  à Quimper face à la Pologne (7-1).

Les joueuses d'Élisabeth Loisel sont qualifiées pour le championnat d'Europe féminin 2005, où elles sont éliminées au premier tour, puis échouent en 2006 pour se qualifier au Mondial 2007.

Lors des phases de poules de l'Algarve Cup 2007, Bussaglia inscrit le but permettant à la France de battre l'Allemagne, championne du monde en titre.

Bussaglia retrouve alors son sélectionneur en équipe de France U19. Bruno Bini est nommé à la tête des A en  avec pour objectif de qualifier la sélection au Championnat d'Europe 2009 et d'y atteindre les quarts de finale. À l'Euro 2009, la France termine à la deuxième place du groupe. Pour les quarts de finale face aux Pays-Bas, les Orange s'imposent aux tirs au but (0-0 tab 5-4).

L'équipe de France participe pendant l'été 2011 à la Coupe du monde en Allemagne. C'est la deuxième fois que la sélection est qualifiée pour la compétition mondiale. La France se classe quatrième de la compétition, son meilleur résultat jusqu'alors, après notamment une victoire contre l'Angleterre en quart de finale. Le , Élise Bussaglia inscrit l'un des buts les plus importants de l'histoire du football français féminin, en égalisant à la  de ce quart de finale, permettant à l'équipe de s'imposer finalement 4 tirs au but à 3 (score final 1-1) et de se qualifier pour les premières demi-finales de son histoire, ainsi que pour les Jeux olympiques 2012.

L'équipe de France de Bini remporte le tournoi de Chypre pour la première fois le  face aux Canadiennes.

Quelques mois plus tard, aux Jeux olympiques, la France se sort de la phase de poule. En quart de finale, la France prend sa revanche sur l'équipe suédoise, qui l'avait battue pour la troisième place de la Coupe du monde 2011. En demi-finale face au Japon au stade de Wembley, alors que la France est menée deux buts à un à quelques minutes de la fin du match, un penalty est sifflé par l'arbitre mexicaine pour une faute sur Eugénie Le Sommer dans la surface de réparation. Élise Bussaglia manque le coup de pied arrêté en tirant à ras de terre de peu à droite du but japonais.

L'équipe de France réalise un sans faute au cours des éliminatoires de l'Euro 2013 en s'imposant lors des 8 matchs. Durant la compétition, les Bleues finissent premières de leur groupe avec trois victoires. Elles sont éliminées en quart de finale par le Danemark lors de la séance de tirs au but (1-1 tab 4-2).

Philippe Bergeroo est nommé sélectionneur de l'équipe de France avec pour mission de la qualifier pour la Coupe du monde au Canada en 2015. La France est placée dans la poule 7, avec comme adversaires principaux la Finlande et l'Autriche. Bergeroo fait fi du passé afin de faire place à la nouvelle génération. Le groupe connaît une seule défaite en 17 matchs, amicaux compris, dont une victoire au tournoi de Chypre 2014. Ces résultats permettent à la France de prendre la  au Classement mondial des Nations de la FIFA.

En 2015, l'effectif de l'équipe de France n'est composé essentiellement que de trois formations de club, l'Olympique lyonnais (12 dont Bussaglia), le Paris SG (7) et Juvisy (6), respectivement les trois premières équipes du Championnat de France de football féminin de 2013 à 2015 mais aussi les trois dernières d'Élise.

Fin , son ancienne coéquipière en Bleue, Corinne Diacre, est nommée sélectionneuse de l'équipe de France, pour une durée de quatre ans. Elle a pour mission de préparer l'équipe de France pour la Coupe du monde 2019 qui se déroulera sur son sol et dont elle est qualifiée d'office en tant que pays hôte.

Le , elle est convoquée parmi les 23 joueuses pour disputer la Coupe du monde 2019 en France. Elle est la doyenne de l'équipe et annonce, avant la compétition, prendre sa retraite internationale au terme du Mondial. Après avoir connu sa  lors du dernier match de préparation, et égalé Laura Georges comme seconde joueuse la plus sélectionnée de l'histoire en Bleue, Élise passe seule seconde mais ne peut dépasser la recordwoman Sandrine Soubeyrand (198).

Style de jeu
Élise Bussaglia apporte une maîtrise technique utile dans les phases de gestion notamment. Sa frappe de balle est aussi un de ses atouts. Perdant en explosivité au fil des années, elle compense par un sens de l'anticipation et sa « vista ». « Buss » est aussi travailleuse et reconnue partout pour son exemplarité et sa simplicité. Elle s'impose comme la plaque tournante de son équipe, avec peu de déchet dans ses passes et un sens du jeu au dessus de la moyenne.

Statistiques

Le tableau suivant présente, pour chaque saison, le nombre de matchs joués et de buts marqués par Élise Bussaglia.

Elle aurait en réalité disputé 286 matchs de D1 féminine de jusqu'au  (ce qui semble cohérent au regard des matchs manquants), malheureusement les statistiques n'étant pas détaillées il est impossible de les inclure dans ce tableau.

British distribution (genus): Evidently widespread, freshwater and marine.
Calothrix is characterised by its tapering trichomes with terminal (and sometimes intercalary) heterocysts [or 'heterocytes']. The lower part of the trichome is usually enclosed in a firm, colourless or yellow-brown sheath (not clearly visible in the cultured material shown here). The genus merges into the closely related genus, Dichothrix, distinguished by usually multiple trichomes within a single sheath and a greater tendency to 'false-branching'.
There are a number of species, some freshwater, others marine, forming thin, mucilaginous films or crusts on rocks and aquatic plants, including seaweeds. Calothrix also occus as a lichen photobiont, when it may become more or less unicellular or form short chains of globose cells rather than forming trichomes.
Photobiont in the maritime lichen, Lichina confinis. This is either Calothrix or possibly the very closely related genus Dichothrix. Material from maritime rocks, Arbroath, Angus, April 2002.

Qualitative Filter Paper Sheet,Website:http://www.newstarsciences.com, Size: 60 x 60cm, Pore Size: Pore Size: 11µmRetention: 11µm; Size: 60 x 60cm sheets● NEWSTAR® Grade 1 Qualitative Filter Paper● Covers a wide range of laboratory applications; frequently used for clarifying liquids● Areas of use include the food industry, agriculture, air pollution monitoring, and gas detection● Widely used in education for teaching simple qualitative analytical separationsTraditionally the grade is used in qualitative analytical separations for precipitates such as lead sulfate calcium oxalate (hot) and calcium carbonate. In agriculture it is used for soil analysis and seed testing procedures. In the food industry Grade 1 is used for numerous routine techniques to separate solid foodstuffs from associated liquid or extracting liquid and is widely used in education for teaching simple qualitative analytical separations. In air pollution monitoring, using circles or rolls, atmospheric dust is collected from airflow and the stain-intensity measured photometrically. For gas detection, the paper is impregnated with a chromogenic reagent and color formation quantified by optical reflectance. Retention: 11µm. Size: 60 x 60cm Sheets. Qualitative filter papers are what most users would consider general purpose filter papers. There are a vast range of applications in and out of the laboratory. Composed of cellulose fiber, these filters are manufactured from high-quality cotton linters treated to maximize alpha cellulose.Alpha cellulose is the most stable form of cellulose, with the highest degree of polymerization. Cellulose paper made from a high percentage of alpha cellulose, such as Whatman paper, is a sign of high quality and consistency.Qualitative filter paper grades are based on various properties including particle retention, thickness, and weight. Unlike quantitative filter papers, of which ashless grades can be burned off for analytical applications, qualitative papers are more suited for general purpose use.

Q: KDB: select rows based on value in one column being contained in the list of another column very simple, silly question.  Consider the following table:
tt:([]Id:`6`7`12 ;sym:`A`B`C;symlist:((`A`B`M);(`X`Y`Z);(`H`F`C)))

Id  sym symlist
---------------
6   A   `A`B`M
7   B   `X`Y`Z
12  C   `H`F`C

I would like to select all rows in tt where the element in sym is contained in the list symlist.  In this case, it means just the first and third rows.  However, the following query gives me a type error.
select from tt where sym in symlist
(`type)

Whats the proper way to do this?  Thanks

A: You want to use the ' (each-both) adverb, so that they "pair up" so to speak. Recall that sym is just list, and symlist is a list of lists. You want to check each element in sym with the respective sub-list in symlist. You do this by telling it to "pair up".
q)tt:([]id:6712; sym:`A`B`C; symlist:(`A`B`M;`X`Y`Z;`H`F`C))
q)select from tt where sym in'symlist
id   sym symlist
----------------
6712 A   A B M
6712 C   H F C

It's not entirely clear to me why your query results in a type error, so I'd be interested in hearing other people's responses.
q)select from tt where sym in symlist
'type
in
`A`B`C
(`A`B`M;`X`Y`Z;`H`F`C)
q)select from tt where {x in y}[sym;symlist]
id sym symlist
--------------

A: In reponse to JPCs answer (couldn't format this as a comment)....
Type error possibly caused by applying "where" to a scalar boolean
q)(`a`b`c) in (`a`g`b;`u`i`o;`g`c`t)
0b
q)where (`a`b`c) in (`a`g`b;`u`i`o;`g`c`t)
'type

Also, the reason the {x in y} lambda doesn't cause the error is because the "in" is obscured and is not visible to the parser (parser doesn't look inside lambdas)
q)0N!parse"select from tt where {x in y}[sym;symlist]";
(?;`tt;,,({x in y};`sym;`symlist);0b;())

Whereas the parser can "see" the "in" in the first case
q)0N!parse"select from tt where sym in symlist";
(?;`tt;,,(in;`sym;`symlist);0b;())

I'm guessing the parser tries to do some optimisations when it sees the "in"

Eric Trump tells supporters to 'mail in your ballot' amid president's relentless attacks on mail-in voting
Brad Reed
Trump Organization executive vice president Eric Trump on Fox News (screengrab)
First son Eric Trump encouraged supporters to vote by mail on Monday, even though President Donald Trump has continuously attacked the practice as a vehicle for purported "voter fraud."
As reported by WFTV's Christopher Heath, the president's middle son told supporters to "mail in your ballot" during a campaign bus stop in Florida, where he was joined by former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi and former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski.
Heath notes that Eric Trump's encouragement of mailing in ballots comes at a time when Florida Republicans have been "fretting" over the decline in the number of GOP voters who have stated their intentions to vote by mail.
Trump's messaging on mail-in voting has been wildly inconsistent in recent weeks. Even though he has claimed that the entire practice is rife with potential fraud, the president carved out an exception for Florida, which happens to be run by allied Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis.
This still hasn't stopped the president from attacking states that have mail-in voting if they are run by Democratic governors, however.

Jurgen Klopp enjoys "perfect final day"
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp hailed the perfect end to the season as they secured a top-four spot with a 4-0 victory over Brighton which sets them up for the Champions League final in a fortnight.
Mohamed Salah broke the record for a 38-game Premier League season with his 32nd in the top flight – and 44th overall – and after Dejan Lovren doubled the lead just before half-time, Dominic Solanke and Andy Robertson scored their first goals for the club.
After three matches without a win it was the best way to sign off a domestic campaign with a confidence-booster ahead of their date with destiny and holders Real Madrid in Kiev at the end of the month.
"Perfect final day of the season. A very exciting season, very intense," said Klopp.
"We showed the kind of football we couldn't show the last few games. The boys are humans, not machines, and we had a lot of injury problems.
"The group of players involved today have to do the job all the time, flying in Europe, playing Everton, West Brom, Stoke, Chelsea – it is really hard.
"I am so happy for the boys because they showed up. Having a game like this is really nice.
"We could have scored more but I am really happy we didn't because Brighton would not have deserved that."
Liverpool needed only a draw to secure back-to-back Champions League seasons but Chelsea's defeat at Newcastle meant it was academic any way.
"After it was 3-0 (in the 53rd minute) it was the first minutes in the season I could enjoy," Klopp added.
"Somebody told me it is 3-0 at Newcastle and it is done. Even I knew we were in the Champions League.
"It's a fantastic achievement of the boys. A few outstanding performances. Last year everyone said we went to the Champions League because we didn't have European football.
"It is for us the next step. I am really happy and proud for the boys."
Brighton boss Chris Hughton, whose side have finished 15th, said: "It's been a tough week for us and I think probably that showed.
"We flew up to Manchester City (where they lost 3-1) during the week and had a very difficult game, and to come and do it again a few days later I think maybe took its toll a little bit.
"We would have taken it (their final position). It's difficult emotions because it's not been a good week for us.
"We have a group of players who will be thinking that hopefully we can come here next season and be in a position to give a better account of ourselves."

June 25, 2015, Washington, D.C. – Today, attorneys at the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) are seeking a court order granting his habeas petition and compelling the government to facilitate the immediate release of cleared Guantanamo prisoner Tariq Ba Odah. Mr. Ba Odah has been on hunger strike since February 2007 to protest his continued indefinite detention and solitary conditions of confinement at Guantánamo. According to information disclosed by the government, Mr. Ba Odah weighs only approximately 75 lbs. – 56 percent of his ideal body weight – a weight that experts say puts him "on the precipice of death." Medical experts in today's filing confirm the military's force-feeding regimen is failing to keep him alive. Mr. Ba Odah has been imprisoned at Guantánamo for 13 years, yet despite the fact that he was cleared for release by top U.S. security agencies more than five years ago, the U.S. has refused to repatriate him to Saudi Arabia where his family resides or resettle him in a third country.
Dr. Jess Ghannam, Clinical Professor of Psychiatry and Global Health Sciences in the School of Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco confirms that the memory loss, the pain in Mr. Ba Odah's stomach and back, and the loss of sensation in his hands and feet described by his attorney are symptoms consistent with the extreme malnutrition often seen in end-stage cancer and AIDS patients.
"A weight of 75 pounds for an adult male is a phenomenon rarely, if ever encountered by the medical profession. It is a level of physical deterioration typically seen in a late-stage cancer or AIDS patient, as it is usually indicative that someone is on the precipice of death due to severe malnutrition, organ failure, and systemic collapse," wrote Dr. Jess Ghannam in his declaration.
"His body is in such a fragile state owing to his depleted caloric absorption and compromised vital organs, that any additional stress on the body, from an infection, fever, or serious injury, could quite simply overwhelm his systemic response causing death in a period of days," wrote Dr. Mohammed Rami Bailony, Medical Director of Enara Health Group, P.C.
"Put simply, Mr. Ba Odah's survival and rehabilitation are out of his hands. He most likely cannot recover by simply abandoning his hunger strike and introducing solid food in his diet," wrote Dr. Sondra S. Crosby, Director and Co-Founder of the Immigration and Refugee Health Program at the Boston Medical Center and Director of the Forensic Medical Evaluation Group at Boston University School of Medicine, Associate Professor of Medicine and Public Health at the Boston University Schools of Medicine and Public Health, in the Departments of Medicine, and Health Law, Bioethics, and Human Rights.
Tariq Ba Odah was picked up in Pakistan by local authorities and turned over to the U.S. military, then sent to Guantánamo in 2002 at age 23. He is now 36. He is one of 70 Yemenis currently held at Guantánamo, though he has residence and family in Saudi Arabia. Of those, 43 are cleared for release. Only 18 Yemeni men have been released from the prison since 2011. Today's filing sought to reopen Mr. Ba Odah's habeas petition, which had been voluntarily withdrawn last year.
Read today's filing and learn more about Tariq Ba Odah's case here.
The Center for Constitutional Rights has led the legal battle over Guantánamo for more than 13 years – representing clients in two Supreme Court cases and organizing and coordinating hundreds of pro bono lawyers across the country, ensuring that all the men detained at Guantánamo have had the option of legal representation. CCR is responsible for many Guantánamo cases in many venues, representing men in their habeas cases in federal court and before the military commissions and Periodic Review Boards, the families of men who died at Guantánamo, and men who have been released and are seeking accountability in international courts.

Trump-Pence Administration Further Expands Global Gag …
Trump-Pence Administration Further Expands Global Gag Rule
For Immediate Release: March 26, 2019
This follows the expansion of the global gag rule in 2017 — and a newly released domestic gag rule scheduled to take effect May 3
WASHINGTON — Today, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced the Trump-Pence administration is further expanding the global gag rule — after Trump reinstated and radically expanded it as one of his first actions in office. Secretary Pompeo announced the Trump-Pence administration would be applying this already harmful policy to the broadest extent possible, and also took new action to withhold funding from the Organization of American States for simply commenting on efforts to decriminalize abortion in Latin America. Once again, this administration is demonstrating that the extremism of their agenda knows no bounds as they continue to silence health care providers and human rights organizations who work to uphold sexual and reproductive health and rights.
Statement from Dr. Leana Wen, President, Planned Parenthood Federation of America:
This is unethical, dangerous, and unacceptable. Two years into the sweeping expansion of the global gag rule, there are countless examples around the world of patients losing access to health care, especially in places where maternal deaths, HIV rates, and unmet need for contraception are unacceptably high. Communities have lost access to essential life-saving services such as HIV testing, antiretroviral medications, nutritional support, birth control and pregnancy care. Further expanding the rule will have the most harmful impact on the people who already face barriers to care – including women and girls, communities of color, people with low incomes, youth, and LGBTQ communities. Further expansion of the global gag rule will harm millions of people around the world and have consequences for generations to come.
In February 2019, the Global Health, Empowerment, and Rights (HER) Act was introduced in the House of Representatives and Senate to permanently repeal the global gag rule, ensuring that qualified foreign non-government organizations can continue to operate U.S.-supported health programs abroad. The Global HER Act is endorsed by over 100 diverse organizations, 47 Senators, and 170 Representatives. In January, Planned Parenthood Global released an impact report, making clear that, due to the expanded global gag rule, people around the world are losing access to vital health education and services – from antiretrovirals for people with HIV, to nutritional support for children, to contraceptive information for women. Planned Parenthood Global spoke with people affected by the policy firsthand, including voices from humanitarian groups, organizations working with people living with HIV/AIDS, and non-reproductive health providers that are impacted by the expanded policy. The report documents how the Trump-Pence administration took a bad policy and made it worse - disrupting access to a range of health services and information, silencing advocates, halting national progress, and emboldening opponents of human rights.
At home and abroad, the Trump-Pence administration is pushing policies that ask doctors to make the impossible choice between being censored from providing the best care possible or stopping the provision of care to patients that face the greatest barriers to accessing it. The administration recently issued a final domestic gag rule, which is scheduled to take effect May 3. The rule would radically change Title X, the nation's only program dedicated to birth control and other reproductive health care, in which 81 percent of program recipients earn less than 150 percent of the poverty line. The rule would gag physicians from referring women for abortion services, and make it impossible for Planned Parenthood health centers to continue to serve patients through the program. Patients expect their providers to speak honestly with them, to answer their questions, to help them in their time of need. It is harmful for politicians to restrict physicians from speaking honestly to their patients and censor what physicians can say to their patients, simply because they are low income.
Planned Parenthood is the nation's leading provider and advocate of high-quality, affordable health care for women, men, and young people, as well as the nation's largest provider of sex education. With more than 600 health centers across the country, Planned Parenthood organizations serve all patients with care and compassion, with respect and without judgment. Through health centers, programs in schools and communities, and online resources, Planned Parenthood is a trusted source of reliable health information that allows people to make informed health decisions. We do all this because we care passionately about helping people lead healthier lives.
Planned Parenthood delivers vital reproductive health care, sex education, and information to millions of people worldwide.

Ocean Odyssey is the only official Close Encounter Whale Watching operation in the Knysna area. Their permit, which is issued by the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries under the Marine Living Resources Act 1998, includes an extensive area of operation that stretches from the western side of the Robberg Peninsula all the way to Gericke's point in Sedgefield.
Observing whales in their wild environment leaves an indelible, feel-good mark on the soul, and Knysna is one of the best places to do this. Each year from June to November/ December, we celebrate the return of the humpback and southern right whales as the skirt the Southern African coastline on their yearly migratory ritual that covers many thousands of miles.
Ocean Odyssey introduces visitors to the rich aquatic heritage of the Garden Route; an iconic estuary and ocean where a complex web of life is found. Our highly competent skippers possess in-depth knowledge of this dynamic marine environment, ensuring an enlightening and memorable experience for all! Ocean Odyssey is the proud holder of a prestigious Blue Flag Status, an international award given to beaches, marinas and nature-based boat excursions that meet a standard of excellence in the following categories: Environmental Education, Environmental Management, Safety and Security and Water Quality. Perhaps the most significant of the categories within the Blue Flag Programme is Environmental Education and Ocean Odyssey is passionate about creating awareness around the magnificent cetaceans of the deep as well as the many other species which are encountered here.
Across vast ranges, many whale species are navigating their way around the world's oceans, taking part in epic annual migrations. Each winter, both the southern right and humpback whales participate in an ancient migratory ritual, leaving their frosty feeding grounds off Antarctica to mate and calve in the warmer waters off our Southern African coastline. Our close encounter whale watching trips depart three times daily (weather and sea conditions permitting) from the easily accessible Thesen Island Harbour Town jetty, adjacent to the Turbine Hotel, Sirocco restaurants and Tapas & Oysters. From here we cruise across the iconic Knysna estuary and out to sea through the dramatic Knysna Heads in search of whale activity.
Our buttcat 'Sousa', which has the carrying capacity of 12 passengers, is an all-rounder designed for both serious deep sea adventures and general estuarine cruises. It is extremely stable and handles well in the many variable and dynamic sea conditions. Without question, the obvious outboard motor for their vessel is Honda and this vessel in fitted with Honda BF 200hp 4, as many of its specs are in line with the company's environmental ethos. In fact the Honda vision itself is based on the philosophy of their founder that "Watercraft should not pollute the waters they ply". Honda has invested a lot of time looking at ways of minimising noise and vibration, with the result that their outboards are one of the smoothest and quietest on the ocean. In addition to that, all Honda engines are built with cutting edge, environmentally conscious technology that complies with the most stringent anti-pollution regulations.


WINTER IS HERE, BUT WE SMELL SPRING IN THE AIR!
First snow of the year hit in the middle of January, which is not completely unusual, time-wise. It was relatively unusual in its depth, however! We had about 8″ at the barn by the time it was all said and done. It stayed quite cold (right around freezing) for a week before a couple of days of warm wind and a little rain made it all a memory. Now here we are three weeks later and I can smell the tiniest bit of spring in the air. It's time to prune those roses and fruit trees!
Posted in The "Weather" Report | Comments Off on WINTER IS HERE, BUT WE SMELL SPRING IN THE AIR!
It's the first frost of the year at "The Barn" on Foxtrot. We're close to the Strait here – so close we can hear the waves if the wind is right and the waves are high enough – and that proximity provides an extra couple of degrees of warmth through the fall and winter months. I'm sure the first frost came to Sequim proper two or three days ago.
It's really starting to feel like fall, even though fall officially started nearly a month ago. We've had a particularly lovely Indian Summer which almost made up for the dreadful true summer we had this year. But now the chickens are going to their roosts earlier and earlier (along with the setting sun) and Beamer, the standard poodle, who has always been a bit persnickety about such things, hesitates to go out into the dark of the morning if there is a chance of getting his feet wet. This morning I looked in the closet and decided that I could finally pack away the flip flops and summer sandals. Terry has already transitioned into his hickory shirts and heavy coat in the morning, because of course, he hits the road so much earlier than I do.
We're looking forward to a sunny fall afternoon with friends, pressing apples! It's become a tradition for us to venture out into the valley this time of year, looking for unappreciated (and unpicked) apple trees to harvest. Last weekend we pressed about 12 gallons and expect to do twice that amount (or more) this afternoon. In the process we meet great people and see old friends – thanks to Conn and Ginny for the apples from the ancient tree at the old Knutsen Farm, and to the kind couple whose apple trees Terry has been admiring (and coveting) on his way back and forth from the new home we have under construction nearby. It never ceases to amaze us how many trees around here aren't harvested! If you're reading this post and you live in Sequim – call us! We're happy to trade cider for apples!
Well – I'm making an entry in my gardening notebook about the first frost (October 15th). You should make sure your hoses are all disconnected from the faucets, your gutters are clear and your sweaters are handy! Now go out and enjoy this beautiful sunny Saturday!

Oriental Rugs — Eighteenth Street Orientals Eighteenth Street Orientals Buyers can choose from our extensive inventory of oriental rugs from artisans around the globe, sourced from countries such as Turkey, Morocco, India, Pakistan, and Tibet.For beautiful oriental rugs, Birmingham, AL residents trust Eighteenth Street Orientals for quality and service. Contact us for a free in-home consultation!
Eighteenth Street Orientals began out of a desire to bring quality oriental rugs to Birmingham, AL. The Howard-Drummond family's love of rugs began in 1986 and has grown into one of the South's leading rug stores.
Oriental rugs are mainly from Afghanistan, India, Iran, Nepal, Pakistan, Tibet and Turkey. These rugs are hand-knotted to create a pile from wool fibers, no machines or hand tufting. The best quality wool comes from cool, moist climates where good grazing is found for sheep to produce soft, smooth wool. Hand-knotted rugs are created from two types of knots: Persian or Turkish. A rug is dyed generally using a vegetable dying process, a traditional yet rural method or a synthetic dying process, a commercial method. Dark blue (Indigo), rusty-red (Madder) and muted gold (Larkspur) are the most commonly used vegetable dyes.
It can take skilled weaver(s) six to 18 months to complete an oriental carpet depending on the size and knots per square inch. Whether antique or new, oriental rugs can be divided up into two categories, country or city. Country rugs are less tightly knotted and the designs tend to be simple geometric yet bold in color. City rugs require specialized labor with more knots per square inch and are designed to sell in the marketplace therefore color and pattern are carefully considered.
The artistry and craftsmanship of oriental rugs made each one a beautiful treasure. Our goal at Eighteenth Street Orientals is to spend time with each customer to help you find the rug that is right for your home and your budget. We love seeing how a rug can transform a space from where you live to where you love to live.

Advert in Another City
September 7, 2021 September 7, 2021 Carl Robert Keyes Daily Advert Update Advert in Another City, E. Bridgham, Providence Gazette, Staffordshire and Liverpool Warehouse
Providence Gazette (September 7, 1771).
"Sell at least as low as they were ever sold on the Continent of America."
Some merchants and shopkeepers named their businesses after the signs that marked their locations, but relatively few chose other sorts of names. E. Bridgham of Boston was one of those exceptions, advertising that he operated the "Staffordshire and Liverpool Warehouse" on King Street in Boston. Bridgham sold, as the name suggested, goods imported "directly from the several Manufacturers in Staffordshire and Liverpool," including "China, Glass, Delph and Stone Ware."
Bridgham was an enterprising entrepreneur in other ways as well. He sought to cultivate customers from beyond Boston and the surrounding towns. He placed his advertisement for the Staffordshire and Liverpool Warehouse in the September 7, 1771, edition of the Providence Gazette. With the exception of printers looking to drum up business for proposed publications via subscription notices inserted in newspapers published in multiple colonies, most purveyors of goods confined their advertising to local newspapers. At the time, Bridgham had five newspapers to choose among in Boston, all of them distributed beyond the bustling port.
Yet Bridgham imagined a larger market for his merchandise, placing himself in competition with merchants and shopkeepers in Providence as well as Boston. To convince prospective customers in Rhode Island that they should purchase from him rather than shop more locally, he proclaimed that he was "able, and fully inclined, to sell at least as low" as similar imported goods "were ever sold on the Continent of America." He attempted to use low prices to lure customers, promising bargains that compared not only to any they might encounter in Boston or Providence but also New York, Philadelphia, Charleston, and everywhere else. Bridgham suggested he set prices low enough to justify the additional effort of acquiring goods from his shop in Boston for those who resided at a distance and had other options in their vicinity.
The Providence Gazette regularly carried advertisements for shops located in Rhode Island, western Connecticut, and southeastern Massachusetts, but rarely did merchants and shopkeepers from Boston advertise in that newspaper. E. Bridgam apparently felt that the four shillings the printer charged to run the advertisement for three weeks might yield a return on his investment by enhancing the visibility of the Staffordshire and Liverpool Warehouse and attracting new customers from Providence.
February 7, 2018 February 7, 2018 Carl Robert Keyes Daily Advert Update Advert in Another City, Boston Post-Boy, Enlarged Market, Ferry, Joshua Hacker, Stage Boat
Boston Post-Boy (February 1, 1768).
"Joshua Hacker … has two swift sailing small Sloops, which ply constantly between Providence and Newport."
In the late 1760s Joshua Hacker provided ferry and freight service between Providence and Newport. His "two swift sailing small Sloops" competed with the "Stage-Boats" operated by Thomas and Benjamin Lindsey. That competition took place on the waterways but also on the pages of colonial newspapers. Hacker and the Lindseys both placed advertisements in the Providence Gazette, the terminus of their route. The Lindseys even updated their advertising to promote expanded services in order to compete with Hacker. In turn, Hacker countered by publishing his advertisement in an additional newspaper, widening the market of potential clients.
When it appeared in the February 1, 1768, edition of the Boston Post-Boy, Hacker's advertisement included the same copy that ran in the Providence Gazette, from comments about the "exceeding good Accomodations for Passengers" to promoting his "ten Years" of experience" to listing prices for shipping all sorts of freight down to "A Box of Candles." The version in the Boston Post-Boy did introduce the alternate spelling of "Accomodations," but Hacker did not revise or abbreviate his lengthy advertisement before submitting it to Green and Russell for publication in their newspaper.
Providence and Newport were busy ports in the late 1760s, but Boston was an even larger and busier port. Hacker realized that many merchants and others who did business in Boston might also have cause to travel between Providence and Newport or transport goods between the two locations. Having established himself in Rhode Island and facing an increasingly aggressive rivalry with the Lindseys for local clients, he attempted to drum up new business from prospective customers in a nearby market that had not been recently exposed to his advertisements. The notice in the Boston Post-Boy may have been an attempt to gauge whether such efforts were worth the investment. If Hacker experienced increased business from residents of Boston he could consider placing advertisements in other newspapers, including the Boston Chronicle, the Boston Evening-Post, the Boston-Gazette, and the Massachusetts Gazette. On the other hand, if the advertisements in the Boston Post-Boy did not seem to yield additional clients Hacker could decide that advertising in other newspapers would not result in a sufficient return on the investment.


The information within this book, given to me by the Source Entity, is specifically designed to make us think. To make us change our ways, to recognize who and what we truly are, to come out of our incarnate slumber and ascend.
However, to do this we need to be vigilant.
Each excerpt within Avoiding Karma should be read in isolation to allow us to work with it to the very best of our ability, absorbing that which is presented becoming free of the constraints of the physical, shrugging off Karma, ascending in the process.
The information should be read in a maximum of two excerpts a week, creating a personal commitment to follow that which is presented. Or, better still, read one a week and be robust in your application of the advice, observing your own performance, making corrections where necessary, doing it with love in your heart, leading by example.
Love transcends Karma, it is all about the multiverse.
Self Love, and the love of others is therefore a key to ascension, and when one has finished this book one will be "In Love", "In Ascension" – Avoiding Karma in the process.
Anticipation is a limiting thought process that is based upon expectation of that which is a desired outcome. Desire being a condition of specific focus on the material.
Anticipation results from the individual's expectation of a preferred outcome, focusing the attention onto the outcome rather than the wider spiritual process resulting in the outcome. Should the anticipated outcome not be that which is expected, then dissatisfaction and/or disappointment are experienced, which are a link to working with the smaller "individuals" incarnate picture rather than observing the result or outcome from the larger spiritual perspective, of what is experienced being designed to help one evolve, no matter what the outcome.
One should therefore accept that which is presented to one, as being that which should be worked with, allowing time to work on other evolutionary opportunities, rather than planning for a certain "anticipated" outcome, wasting time thinking about where and when the outcome may happen and what it will be.
Avoid debt to anyone and anything. Either financially, materially or benefit in kind. Debt is a control factor that leaves one under the control of the debtor. Debt of any kind is a link to the physical, tying one into the commitment of paying back the debt with interest, thereby compounding the debt and creating low frequency thoughts such as resentment and anger, towards the debtor.
One should only have and recognize one debt. That which all entities sign up to during their creation, to experience, learn and evolve, passing on this evolutionary content, this debt of creation, to our creator, whilst maintaining this evolutionary content oneself. This is not a physical debt, linking us to the low frequencies of the physical; it is a debt of pleasure, of joy, of delight, of love, of desire to help our creator evolve by one's own efforts.
In this instance the best way forward is not to protect one's self from the low energies associated with such thoughts but more to be in acceptance that one has placed one's self in that position. One can therefore elevate ones frequencies when one recognizes the opportunity of personal growth from such a situation, working in joy at the prospect of paying back that which is owed, with interest, as a thank you to the debtor for helping us out when required, without resentment of self (for being in the situation) or debtor (for charging interest) thereby breaking a Karmic link.
I do wish it was written in the first or second person instead of in the third person, though. I get tired of reading "One" this and "one" that. For me, it makes it harder to read and less personal. It certainly is the proper formal way to write, though. I'm sure I'll want a copy as soon as it comes out. I find all your books fascinating!
More than a book! Knowledge in a can might be a more catchy title?

DALLAS - WASHINGTON DC 05.07.2019 Free soccer tips
The Gold Cup in the US is not over yet and the Copa America in the south is far from over. Nevertheless, only a few international players from the MLS with their country teams on the road. The game mode in Major League Soccer is therefore slowly normalizing again. We can not talk about a final spurt for the playoffs yet, but some clubs have done just over half the regular season. It's time to position yourself in the table so you can continue to race for the title. The FC Dallas and Washington DC United are on a very good way and are fully on course. In the night from Thursday to Friday, both teams meet in direct duel.
The Texans are currently in fourth place in the Western Conference. However, they sometimes have up to three games more in the account than the competition. The lead in eighth place is only three points. This is not a rest cushion, especially since many other clubs can refill in pending games. DC United is much better. In the Eastern Conference, the captains have brought 31 points from 19 games and are thus ranked second. From the number of matches, it is a bit more balanced in the East, so a lead of ten points in eighth position is already somewhat reassuring. However, before the kick-off between Dallas and Washington DC, the experts are more likely to predict the home side will win. But DC United has proven to be a tough nut to crack in the last few weeks. Therefore, we can not fully share this initial assessment because we assume that the hosts could get into trouble. Therefore, in the duel between Dallas and Washington DC, we would not rule out a bet on United's point win. Both need points, the Texans even more urgent to get in position for the playoffs. The kick-off for the MLS game between FC Dallas and Washington DC United at the Toyota Stadium takes place during the night from Thursday to Friday
Dallas - Statistics & Current Form
Injuries and stops for internationals have cost FC Dallas the whereabouts of the US Open Cup. Against the unterklassigen club New Mexico United had to be defeated at home. But at least in the MLS in the last few weeks it is not bad at all. In the last five games, there was only one defeat. Nevertheless, it is really close in the race for participation in the playoffs. Two years ago, Dallas was defeated on the final day of the regular season from the playoffs. That should not happen again to the team of Luchi Gonzalez this year. Therefore, every point is important, but above all victories must be retracted. To win on Independence Day against Washington, that's all there is to it. The bookmakers offer in the game between Dallas and Washington DC at least lower odds on a home victory of the Texans. This is mainly due to the home strength of the FCD. In the last ten home games in the MLS, there was only one defeat. That should be a source of encouragement for the encounter on the night of Friday.
The last game at the Portland Timbers could not be used for that though. The Texans had big problems, especially in the central midfield. The game shares were balanced but overall. Portland seemed to have matured last Sunday and was able to win by a goal just before half time 1-0. The break until the next game was a bit shorter than the upcoming opponent from the capital.
"We need to focus on what's important, because every game matters, whether it's three days between games or whether we have to prepare for the week."
Paxton Pomykal
But that must not be an excuse, as playmaker Paxton Pomykal makes clear. In the end it is only important to know which performance can be called up on the course. In that respect, one may at least be cautiously optimistic that things will get better. Bryan Acosta, who was well below the odds at the Gold Cup with Honduras, has returned to the squad and will play from the start following his substitution in Portland. This also applies to left wing Santiago Mosquera, who is fully recovered and should ensure speed on the outer lane. Only Reggie Cannon, who stays with the United States in the Gold Cup, will be missing.
Expected formation of Dallas:
J. Gonzalez - Hollingshead, Hedges, Ziegler, Bressan - Acosta, Servania - Mosquera, Pomykal, Badji - Ferreira - Coach: L. Gonzalez
Last Games by Dallas:
01.07.2019 - Portland Timbers vs. Dallas 1: 0 (Major League Soccer)

13.06.2019 - Dallas Vs. OKC Energy 4: 0 (US Open Cup)
Washington DC - Statistics & Current Form
Washington DC United is one of the most successful clubs in Major League Soccer. Numerous national and international titles are now on the letterhead. However, two years ago they missed the playoffs and in the last season United failed already in the knockout round. Reason enough to step up with an international superstar to return to the road to success. Wayne Rooney has been in the MLS for over a year now and by now you can say that the Englishman has hit hard. With him, DC United is apparently a title candidate this season. He has scored four goals in the last six games and ranks third in the MLS top scorer list. Although the Elf of Ben Olsen in the US Open Cup already eliminated, but in Major League Soccer there has been no defeat for five games and only one failure in the last nine matches. However, United has had to split the points in four out of the last five matches. That almost sounds as if predicting a tie would be a real option in the encounter between Dallas and Washington DC.
Washington also did not make it past a draw last weekend, which was very happy after the game started. The Canadians from Toronto were in the US capital and went after 20 minutes 1-0 in the lead. DC United was a slightly better team, but was not compelling enough in the final. In the 90th minute but should still follow the redemption.
"We want to be as successful as possible, what happens then we will see."
Wayne Rooney converted a penalty to a 1-1 final score. In the meantime, the Englishman is an absolute crowd pleaser, who might also be able to switch to management in Washington in the future. At the moment, he prefers to deal with the events on the pitch and so he strives with his team for the greatest possible success. In Dallas, DC United will be close to full. Only the Jamaican Oniel Fisher will remain unavailable after his knee surgery. Otherwise, Ben Olsen is spoiled for choice in his line-up in Dallas.
Expected lineup of Washington DC:
Hamid - McCann, Pear Tree, Brillant, Jara - Rodriguez, Canouse, Stieber, Segura - Acosta, Rooney - Coach: Olsen
Last Games from Washington DC:
30.06.2019 - DC United vs. Toronto 1: 1 (Major League Soccer)

02.06.2019 - DC United vs. San Jose Earthquakes 1: 1 (Major League Soccer)
Dallas vs. Washington DC USA Direct Comparison
Dallas and Washington have been at eye level for years. Overall, the paths of these two teams have already crossed 41 times. In a direct comparison, the Texans with 17:16 victories are very thin front. Eight other matches ended in a draw. Longer series for one or the other team does not exist in the history of this duel. The last encounter was Washington in October of last year at home win 1-0. Russell Canouse was the shooter of the Golden Gate.
USA Dallas v Washington DC USA Tip & Prediction - 05.07.2019
FC Dallas must be careful not to lose the place in the playoffs this season. The home strength is currently the last bargaining chip, because in the last ten games in the MLS at the Toyota Stadium conceded only one defeat. Overall, it could be a bit better. Maybe you can claim that from DC United as well, even though the statistics are alright. For five games there was no defeat in the MLS and ever the capital club conceded in the past nine games only one bankruptcy. But there is plenty of draw, so in the match between Dalls and Washington DC a tip on a draw seems quite plausible.
Key Facts - Dallas Vs. Washington DC Tip
Dallas has lost just one of the last ten home games in the MLS.
Washington has not lost in Major League Soccer for five games
Wayne Rooney has scored four times for DC United in their last six games.
But we think Wayne Rooney might well be able to make the difference. We can imagine that the Englishman can contribute decisively to an away win. That's why we decided to use the betting odds on the double chance X2 bet in the Dallas-Washington DC game. For odds of just over 2.00, the value should be included in any case.
The Gold Cup in the US is not over yet and the Copa America in the south is far from over. Nevertheless, only a few international players from the MLS with their country teams on the road.

MATHESON HITS OUT AT DECISION TO CLOSE LAST BANK IN DENNY
Falkirk West MSP Michael Matheson has slammed the announcement that Bank of Scotland will close its branch in Denny on February 28 next year.
Mr Matheson said: "It's devastating news for residents and local businesses that the last remaining bank in the town is shutting down and it shows a complete disregard for hundreds of loyal customers in Denny.
"Bank of Scotland says the growing number of people who use online or mobile banking is the reason for this closure – but its own review shows that 781 of its customers only use this branch, and no other way, to bank and that counters at the Denny branch are busier now than they were a year ago.
"Those most affected by this closure are likely to be elderly and disabled customers, as well as business clients. They will now be expected to make a round-trip to the Falkirk High Street branch, which takes at least an hour by public transport, if they wish to retain a personal, face-to-face service.
"To add insult to injury, anyone who has visited the branch in Falkirk lately will know that it is already struggling to cope with the sheer number of customers following the many other branch closures by various banks across Falkirk district in recent times – to such an extent that they have had to put a limit on the number of coin bags that can be handed in during any one visit.
"This news will also come as a shock to the staff in Denny, not least since Bank of Scotland's parent firm, Lloyds Banking Group, announced pre-tax profits of £1.95billion for the third quarter just last month.
"It's a bitter irony that a bank bailed out by taxpayers during the financial crisis is abandoning local communities now that it has returned to making bumper profits.
"I've got many questions about the level of consultation that preceded the announcement of this closure, and whether its impact on customers was properly considered, and I will raise these with Lloyds Banking Group."

Prestigious Interventional Cardiologist DR. Gary Roubin joins Cardiovascular Associates
September 3, 2014 (Birmingham, Alabama) — Cardiovascular Associates (CVA), one of Alabama's largest and oldest cardiovascular practices, today announced it has recruited world renowned interventional cardiologist Dr. Gary Roubin to join its Birmingham practice.
"The CVA physicians are proud Dr. Roubin has chosen to work with us and look forward to the many ways in which he can help us provide advanced cardiovascular care to the people of this region," says CVA Chairman Bradley Cavender, MD.
Roubin is credited with designing the first FDA-approved coronary stent, the Gianturco-Roubin Flex Stent. He is also a key contributor in the CREST trial which has validated the use of carotid stents. He has edited major textbooks on Interventional Cardiology and later this year will release his memoir, "The First Balloon-Expandable Coronary Stent: An expedition that changed cardiovascular medicine."
"Dr. Roubin's broad experience as a physician scientist, acclaimed inventor, clinical teacher and mentor to countless physicians, has helped shape cardiology practice throughout the world," says Garry Gause, chief executive officer of Brookwood Medical Center and Tenet's Southern Region.
Dr. Roubin earned his medical degree at the University of Queensland, Australia. He completed his residency at the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital and his fellowship at Hallstrom Institute of Cardiology in Sydney. He holds a Ph.D. in cardiovascular physiology at Sydney University Hospital. Dr. Roubin has served in numerous leadership roles throughout his career including Chair of Interventional Cardiac & Vascular Services at Lenox Hill in New York City for nearly a decade. He also served on faculty at Emory University School of Medicine and University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Medicine.
"I want to expand our ability to provide high quality, state of the art cardiac care to as many patients as possible," Dr. Roubin says. "I see CVA as a far reaching progressive clinical enterprise. I am excited about the opportunity to work with physicians and colleagues I respect as clinicians and people."
About Cardiovascular Associates
Cardiovascular Associates (CVA) was founded in 1946 by Dr. John B. Burrett, the first cardiologist to practice in the state of Alabama. In the past sixty years. CVA has added nationally recognized experts to maintain its position at the forefront of cardiovascular care. This growth has made CVA one of the largest and most respected cardiovascular practices in the Southeast. CVA specialties include carotid stenting, congenital heart disease, congestive heart failure, electrophysiology, general cardiology, interventional cardiology, invasive cardiology, peripheral vascular disease, valvular and structural heart disease, pulmonary hypertension, structural heart disease, venous disease and women's cardiology. In September 2012, CVA opened a $20 million state of the art facility located just off I-459 at the Colonnade. In addition to our full time offices in Sylacauga and Talladega, CVA now has an office on campus at Brookwood Medical Center and ten outreach clinics across central Alabama.

Travel in space for just $250,000
"The [Cape Breton] facility will see orbital flights, similar to the Kennedy Space Center," says Kathuria. "We're basically developing a private manned space programme for Canada."
So what will it cost to built a 'spaceport?' By Kathuria's estimates, it could cost $200 million. Rockets launched from the site would pass over the Atlantic Ocean on their way into space.
The investment will also lead to the creation of 4,000 jobs and $400 million per year in economic benefits to Nova Scotia. The Canadian spaceport would join other commercial spaceports to be built by private space companies in Scotland, New Mexico, and Texas.
PlanetSpace was formed last year as a partnership between London, Ontario-based Geoff Sheerin, who has been developing the Canadian Arrow rocket for space tourism, and Dr Chirinjeev Kathuria who was a founding director of the Mir Corp that sent the first tourist into space in 2000.


In both painting and printmaking, the term chiaroscuro references the contrast between highlight and shadow. While the woodcut medium originated in eighth century Japan, sixteenth century European artists manipulated the medium to produce these dynamic compositions. Invented in approximately 1509 by the German Hans Burgkmair, the chiaroscuro process incorporates a typical line block, generally printed in black, with tone blocks to create depth through varying shades. The process recalls chiaroscuro drawings, a popular medium at the time, which created the illusion of depth through the application of dark ink and light gouache heightening on middle-toned colored paper.
Lot 77: Hendrick Goltzius, Pluto, chiaroscuro woodcut, circa 1588-90.
In Hendrick Goltzius's Pluto, the chiaroscuro effects contribute to the legibility of the fire and smoke in the background, as well as the molding of the foreground figure. Goltzius was a leader among chiaroscuro woodcut practitioners, and this composition is one of several from this series of classical deities, which includes Galatea and Nox.
Lot 65: Nicolò Vicentino, after Maturino, Clelia Crossing the Tiber, chiaroscuro woodcut.
Nicolò Vicentino also created many chiaroscuro woodcuts, often after other artists' designs. He may have chosen the chiaroscuro process to better emulate the original compositions. Clelia Crossing the Tiber is one such example; impressions of this print also utilize varying middle tones to realize effective compositions, with examples printing in ochre in place of gray, underscoring the importance of experimentation in the chiaroscuro method (see impressions in the collection of the Philadelphia Museum of Art).
Lot 36: Albrecht Dürer, Ulrich Varnbüler, chiaroscuro woodcut, 1522.
Albrecht Dürer's Ulrich Varnbüler is a unique example in which the chiaroscuro tone blocks were added in the early 1600s, after the initial edition was printed. The extremely scarce lifetime impressions used only the 1522 line block, and the tone blocks were produced to mask wear to the original. Nonetheless, the composition benefits from the addition and chiaroscuro printings of the subject are in high demand today.
Though the chiaroscuro technique fell out of favor after these prints were made, they speak to sixteenth century taste and capture the fashions of the time. Though styles change, these woodcuts offer a timeless glimpse into the evolution of printmaking.
