meanwhile in Davos
Economists blast the Trump administration for rooting for a weak dollar
byJeva Lange
The editorial board of The Wall Street Journal skewered the Trump administration after Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin championed "a weaker dollar" in Davos, Switzerland, on Wednesday. "Someone ought to tell these fellows the history of strong- and weak-dollar presidencies," the Journal wrote in response to Mnuchin's comment to reporters that a weak dollar is "not a concern of ours at all."
The Trump administration's argument is that "a weaker dollar is good for trade" because it could potentially boost exports, making American-made items more appealing for foreign buyers. On the other hand, foreign goods would become more expensive to U.S. buyers and "Americans don't live in an economic bubble," The Wall Street Journal scolded:
[Americans] buy from abroad because other countries make things Americans want or need. U.S. manufacturers import components to produce value-added goods like machinery and aircraft that are exported. Dollar devaluation makes those imports more expensive, which undermines competitiveness vis-a-vis foreign rivals. Commodities like oil and copper are traded in dollars so a weak dollar requires more of them. This is good for dictators in places like Venezuela. For Americans, not so much. [The Wall Street Journal]
A strong dollar has traditionally been considered an indicator of a healthy economy. "You run the risk of not just talking down the dollar but talking people out of buying U.S. equities and U.S. bonds as well," High Frequency Economics' Jim O'Sullivan told Politico of Mnuchin's comments. "You can end up with higher interest rates and lower equity prices. It's really playing with fire."
The Week's Jeff Spross disagrees, though, writing that "the strong dollar policy was a bad call" to begin with. Read why he thinks President Trump should go ahead and smash the dollar here.

What is trisomy 23 called?
What is chromosome 23 disorder?
Is trisomy 23 Down syndrome?
What is the rarest trisomy?
What is the life expectancy of a person with Turner syndrome?
What are the 3 types of Down syndrome?
Which trisomy is fatal?
What is the rarest chromosomal disorder?
Is Trisomy 13 fatal?
Is trisomy 9 fatal?
In females, the 23 rd pair is two X chromosomes. In males, the 23rd pair is one X and one Y chromosome. There are 2 types of Turner syndrome: monosomy X TS and mosaic TS. About half of all girls with Turner syndrome have a monosomy disorder. Monosomy means that a person is missing one chromosome in the pair.
Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes. A trisomy is a chromosomal condition characterised by an additional chromosome. A person with a trisomy has 47 chromosomes instead of 46. Down syndrome, Edward syndrome and Patau syndrome are the most common forms of trisomy.
Trisomy 17 mosaicism is one of the rarest trisomies in humans. It is often incorrectly called trisomy 17 (also referred to as full trisomy 17), which is when three copies of chromosome 17 are present in all cells of the body.
' Down syndrome is also referred to as Trisomy 21. This extra copy changes how the baby's body and brain develop, which can cause both mental and physical challenges for the baby. Even though people with Down syndrome might act and look similar, each person has different abilities.
IT IS INTERESTING: What can you say about the phenotype of the offspring?
What is the long-term outlook for people with Turner syndrome? The long-term outlook ( prognosis ) for people with Turner syndrome is typically good. Life expectancy is slightly shorter than average but may be improved by addressing and treating associated chronic illnesses, such as obesity and hypertension .
There are three types of Down syndrome:
Trisomy 21. This is by far the most common type, where every cell in the body has three copies of chromosome 21 instead of two.
Translocation Down syndrome. In this type, each cell has part of an extra chromosome 21, or an entirely extra one. …
Mosaic Down syndrome.
The term trisomy describes the presence of three chromosomes instead of the usual pair of chromosomes. For example, trisomy 21, or Down syndrome, occurs when a baby has three #21 chromosomes. Other examples are trisomy 18 and trisomy 13, fatal genetic birth disorders.
Chromosome 18q- syndrome (also known as Chromosome 18, Monosomy 18q) is a rare chromosomal disorder in which there is deletion of part of the long arm (q) of chromosome 18. Associated symptoms and findings may vary greatly in range and severity from case to case.
Trisomy 13 isn't always fatal. But doctors can't predict how long a baby might live if they don't have any immediate life-threatening problems. However, babies born with trisomy 13 rarely live into their teens.
IT IS INTERESTING: How many events occur once in meiosis?
Full trisomy 9: All cells of the fetus and placenta have three copies of chromosome 9. Full trisomy 9 is almost always fatal, with most of the affected fetuses dying in the first trimester, causing miscarriage.

Republican lawmaker seeks to limit school levy votes to election years
House Education Finance Committee chair Pat Garofalo says he will push a bill next session to require levy referendums to come only in general elections when more voters go to the polls. Garofalo says during off-year elections, more than 70 percent of referendums pass. That rate falls to 52 percent in election years.

Is infield defense really that important for the Twins in 2020?
Twins Daily breaks down all of the defensive details.
Lawmaker wants levy votes on even years
Rep. Pat Garafalo, R-Farmington, says too many school districts vote on levy funding in odd-year elections when turnout is considerably lower without federal or statewide races. Garafalo argues small groups dictating policy is not ideal.
School levy increase approved in St. Paul
A $39 million levy proposal was approved for schools in St. Paul over the next eight years with more than 60 percent of the vote. The measure includes the renewal of a previous $30 million levy and and additional $9 million for technology upgrades.
St. Paul schools chief seeks levy increase
St. Paul schools Superintendent Valeria Silva wants to ask voters for extra money in November. She proposes renewing an existing schools levy -- and raising it. A current levy has brought in about $30 million a year since 2006. The proposed raise would amount to an extra $65 a year on a $149,000 home, the median value in the district this year.
Gov. Dayton to seek re-election in 2014
The governor says eight years is what it takes to streamline the state government and make it more efficient. In a recent Star Tribune poll, Dayton has a 52 percent approval rating.
More than 100 school districts appeal to voters for nearly $1B worth of levies
More than 100 schools across the state appealed ?to voters in levy elections. While some are seeking funds to help expand or develop programs, other districts are calling them 'survival levies' and say layoffs and program cuts are certain if they aren't passed.
Voters head to the polls Tuesday to decide city elections, school levies
Tax levy hikes expected on both sides of river
St. Paul Mayor Chris Coleman says he'll propose to increase the city's property tax levy by about 2 percent. Minneapolis Mayor RT Rybak's spokesman says he's aiming for a tax levy increase of less than 3 percent.
One-third of school districts plan to ask voters for operating levies
That's the most in 10 years. The AP says districts are becoming more dependent on local taxpayers as inflation outpaces state funding.

NGO "Logos", which brings together proactive youngsters from different countries, aims to empower young people by providing various opportunities to learn and grow. Recently Logos came up with a new initiative to organize Human Rights campaign-movement called "Human Rights Spread Action." The aim of this movement is to organize promotion activities and make sure that the young people understand the necessity and importance of respecting human rights and the idea of respecting human rights is spread among the youth coming from different cultures and backgrounds. So the main action would be to raise awareness of young people about their rights and ensure inclusiveness of the movement. Promotion activities of the movement would widely be carried out through various means such as projects, workshops, flash mobs, social media campaigns, etc.
The first initiative that is already in preparation phrase is project called "Human Rights Quest Room" which is exceptionally new concept aimed to combine learning and practical experience for the better understanding of the concept of human rights. The purpose is to enable young people with different perspectives to deepen their knowledge of the importance and necessity of respecting Human Rights by challenging their perceptions. It also aims to acquire a richer awareness of human rights through practical experience.
• Negotiation skills – "model of thinking", which does not allow to violate the interests of other persons, based on cooperation.
• Feedback giving skills – the skills of right presenting observations, comments and additions.
• "Out of the box" conception – the practical skills that help to think differently, unconventionally, or from a new perspective. This phrase often refers to novel or creative thinking.
• Goal setting skills – basic skills of setting goals that can successfully perform tasks.
From our point of view, all these skills are needed for the successful development of a course on Human Rights for Party members for future sharing for the human rights ideas.
The Human rights spread action movement will also include the promotion of human rights by non-formal education, art, sport, music, thematic performances in theaters, games, etc. making sure to have as many young people involved as possible. We believe that knowledge is a power and if young people are aware of their rights and have the understanding of its importance, they will be more proactive citizens contributing in democratic and more peaceful future of their communities. As many young people have no knowledge about their rights, simply because sometimes States are not interested in having human right education as a part of formal education, we do believe that this movement will reach many young people and by interactive ways provide the necessary knowledge to them.
The word "Logos" means ground of nous. We do believe that by this movement we are creating the necessary ground for more protected human rights, as only when young people know their rights they can advocate for them and make sure that their rights are respected accordingly.


I try to style my work wardrobe to lean more Marnie from Girls and less Emma from Glee. However, there is nothing, and I mean NOTHING, that looks both as cute, and as professional as the perfect cardigan. Like the classic LBD, or those impeccable heels, a great cardigan is a professional closet requisite. I have been in search of the cardigan for years.
J Crew's jackie cardigan was my top contender for some time. I bought an olive green version on Michigan Ave., in Chicago while shopping with a friend one crisp October afternoon. That was around four years ago, and although I've worn it unceasingly to work since, and the cuffs are beginning to show the wear, it still hangs in my closet and I can't seem to get rid of it. It should be noted, that I also purchased a full cotton version of a j crew cardigan, however it stretched after a few wears and now looks loose and baggy in places.
Next, I tried to replicate my love for the jackie with a deep purple cotton and wool blend cardigan from Gap. Although it was a cute sweater, after a few washes it just did not hold its shape like the j crew version. It appears appealing when buttoned over a blouse, but does not have that classic adorable cardigan shape I'm after.
Well, I've recently found the next great cardigan! I was walking through the mall when a rack of colorful sleeves and buttons caught my eye. Halogen brand has a great line of cardigans in a myriad of colors (they also have some delectable skirts as well). The only down side for this busy girl, is that they need to be hand washed.* They are made of rayon, so they are very light weight and hold their shape wonderfully over any shirt, top or blouse. The saturated, deep colors really make them pop, so it's easy to throw one on over those plain black trouser pants and basic white shirt. I now have five in different colors!
I didn't think that I could devote an entire post to sweaters, but with fall coming sooner than I'd like, it's almost time to dig out the cooler wardrobe. Sigh.
* This can be done with a little woolite in your bathroom sink.
Did you guess Autumn? Winter? Well, you would not be wrong, but Spring and Summer are also correct. With the advent of air conditioning, and current popularity of vivid colors, traditionally cool weather garb is now fair game in the most humid of months.
I work in an office setting where sitting many hours a day can be the norm. On the one hand, I'm assuming this is terrible for my posture. On the other, it leaves open the option to wear many great 'sitting' shoes. (There are two kinds of shoes – sitting, and walking. Walking shoes are those comfy flats you know you can trek to the train and back in. Sitting shoes are those adorable slingbacks with the altitudinous heels that look amazing until you attempt to stand up!) While I often opt for sandals in summer, neon and patterns add some sunny flair to a pair of pumps.
Let's talk jackets. I know, I know, wearing a jacket in summer sounds crazy, but hear me out on this one. Choosing a blazer or a jacket with the right bright hue will make a formerly winter look fit right in during August. Throw in a beautiful, jazzy scarf like this kaleidoscopic silk (gift from my sister!) and you can't be beat by the heat.

That's me – the black sheep – the one who is different. Both of my parents grew up on farms, both wanted to be away from them. City life was easier and more to their liking. But something went wrong when I came along. I like the animals and the work – which of course is not as hard as they had one hundred years ago.
Today I spent some time learning to operate this machine. I think I live in the best of both worlds. I do not depend on farming for my livelihood, but can enjoy the benefits of the exercise.

In some instances, appropriate and customary fees differ according to asset class. This is most pertinent for management fees.
Many of these metrics bear direct or inverse relationships with variables such as equity raise and leverage. Small equity raises will make loads-to-equity look high, and deals with no debt will have identical load-to-equity and -syndicated measures. Relatively high (or low) LTVs can also skew metrics.
Qualitative analysis of fee and offering structure can be just as important as quantitative. For instance, understand how the structure of the master lease for a particular offering dictates how property profit flows between investors and the master tenant, and how that impacts the risk and return profile.
Fees in a specific deal should be considered on not only an individual, but also a global basis. Upfront fees may be relatively low, but ongoing fees could make the total fee picture less favorable than other deals.
Accurate trend analysis is very difficult and imprecise, as there is a relatively small population of DSTs syndicated each year, and even smaller sample sizes representing particular asset classes. (And while FactRight sees deals that represent most of the capital raised in the space, we don't see everything.) Changes in customary deal size, financing terms, and other factors will bear upon movement in specific metrics. If we can say anything from the way metrics changed in 2018, it's that FactRight's data suggest that while upfront and ongoing fees have remained relatively consistent with last year's metrics, properties are becoming more expensive to underwrite, finance, and syndicate.

France blocks North Macedonia's EU membership ambitions
by GCT
The European Union's General Affairs Council sent shockwaves in political circles on Tuesday, when it did not approve the start of accession talks with North Macedonia and Albania following a veto from France.
The EU Commissioner responsible for enlargement Johannes Hahn, expressed his deep regret over the veto motivated by reservations expressed by France and other member states.
At a joint press conference with Finnish Minister of European Affairs Tytti Tuppurainen, who chaired the Council meeting, Hahn called the lack of approval "not a moment of glory for Europe – it's the third time in 16 months that we are discussing this important issue!" and clarified that the majority of member states had supported the European Council's recommendation to start negotiations.
Having said in earlier statements that negotiations with the two countries would be "a strategic decision in the EU's own genuine interest," as "the western Balkans are already part of Europe," he also warned that if the EU stopped engaging with the region, it would open the way for Russia, China and Turkey to push their own political agendas.
Hahn was quick to note that "the huge majority of member states supported the European Council's recommendation," and expressed the hope that "EU leaders can rectify today's non-result at the European Council summit."
"How can we be a global actor if we even can't deal with our inner courtyard, the western Balkans?" he asked.
Minister Tuppurainen also expressed regret, but added that "the discussion was useful to clarify positions. I remain hopeful, as [European Council] President [Donald] Tusk assumably intends to put this issue in the debate in the European Council later this week."

STILLWATER, OK (October 8, 2017) - After carding an opening-round 3-under-par 69, Canon Claycomb of Bowling Green, Kentucky, took control on Sunday with a 5-under-par 67. The two-day total of 8-under-par 136 leaves him with a seven-stroke advantage heading into Monday's AJGA PING Invitational final round.
Claycomb's second-round score bests marks set by current PGA TOUR professionals when they competed at The PING Invitational during their junior careers. Jordan Spieth, who won The PING Invitational twice, carded a round of 4-under-par 68 in 2008. Rickie Fowler shot a 3-under-par 69 in the first round of the 2006 Invitational and went on to finish third.
Parker Coody of Plano, Texas, tallied a 3-under-par 69 to move into solo second place with a tournament total of 1-under-par 143. Joe Highsmith of Lakewood, Washington, Sean Maruyama of Encino, California, and Julian Perico of Peru are T3 at even-par 144.
Amari Avery of Riverside, California, and Lucy Li of Redwood Shores, California, lead the Girls Division heading into the final round. The juniors both carded a score of 2-under-par 70 in the second round for a tournament total of 3-under-par 141. Li finished runner-up at The PING Invitational last year while Avery is making her debut in the event.
Gina Kim of Chapel Hill, North Carolina, scored a 2-under-par 70 in the second round to move to one stroke back. Kim carded a bogey-free front-nine and tallied five birdies on her round.
Final-round tee times will run from 8:30 a.m. to 10:20 a.m. off Nos. 1 and 10 at Karsten Creek on Monday, October 9.
ABOUT THE The PING Invitational
One of the AJGA series of tournaments that require an invitation to participate. Format is 54 holes of stroke play.

BBA Announces Privacy and Cybersecurity Conference
The Boston Bar Association's inaugural Privacy & Cybersecurity Conference will bring together attorneys from private practice and in-house legal departments to network and discuss key topics and trends in privacy and cybersecurity.
Held at the Courtyard Marriott in Boston on May 24 , this full-day conference will cover a wide range of topics from data breach response and litigation to compliance and transactional issues. Panelists will discuss new developments in the legal and regulatory landscape, while providing strategies to effectively prepare and respond to your client's needs and offer insights into challenges and opportunities ahead.
Please contact Maggie DeMoura at mdemoura@bostonbar.org if you are interested in attending this program. Registration opens soon!
To give you a sneak peek of what's on the agenda in May, we asked the conference's advisory committee members to weigh in on the issues of the day.
Brenda Sharton - Goodwin Procter
"Companies have had privacy & cybersecurity top of mind for some time now, yet the breaches keep on coming and increasing in sophistication. Gone are the quaint days when hackers were simply after credit card information and ransom demands were low. This conference provides an opportunity to hear how to protect your company from today's threats and even tomorrow's."
Brenda Sharton, a senior partner with Goodwin, is a first chair trial lawyer with over 25 years of experience. Ms. Sharton is the Chair of Goodwin's Privacy + Cybersecurity practice as well as its Business Litigation practice. She counsels and represents public and private corporations and their boards in complex commercial litigation, arbitrations and civil government/regulatory matters. Ms. Sharton also is a nationally recognized expert, sought after speaker, and thought leader in the area of privacy law. She has handled in excess of 200 data privacy breach investigations and has been lead counsel on landmark privacy litigation. She has counseled and represented public and private corporations and their boards in complex commercial litigation, arbitration, and civil government / regulatory matters. She has been recommended for her financial services litigation and privacy work by The Legal 500 United States and featured in U.S. News-Best Lawyers for her commercial litigation work.
Heather Sussman - Ropes & Gray
"The day will be packed on some of the hottest topics in privacy and cybersecurity today -- from artificial intelligence and digital advertising, to all things cyber, ransomware and the state of privacy and data breach litigation today. We will cover what's happening with the EU's evolving data protection regime, and of course forecast the new U.S. Administration's impact on these issues in the weeks and months to come."
Heather Egan Sussman is co-head of the privacy and data security practice at Ropes & Gray's Boston office. Her practice focuses on privacy, cybersecurity and information management, and she is ranked by Chambers USA and The Legal 500 United States as a leader in her field. Heather routinely guides clients through the existing patchwork of U.S. federal and state laws, including FCRA, ECPA, TCPA, HIPAA, CAN-SPAM, GLBA and California's Online Privacy Protection Act, state breach notification laws, state information security laws, as well as existing self-regulatory frameworks, including those covering online advertising and payment card processing. She manages teams of talented local counsel around the world to deliver seamless advice for clients that operate across many jurisdictional lines.
Sharton and Sussman will join the following experts in the field on the advisory committee:
Sara Berkson - Vertex Pharmaceuticals
Sara Cooper Berkson is Senior Director, Assistant General Counsel at Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated, where she advises the company on global privacy issues, including readiness for the upcoming EU General Data Protection Regulation. Sara has practiced in the privacy space since the advent of HIPAA in 2003, focusing on the implications of various international, federal, and state privacy laws on the health care and life sciences industries. She has spent time both in private practice and in-house in the biotech industry, advising clients on a myriad of regulatory issues, including privacy and human subjects research, fraud and abuse, and general pharmaceutical compliance. Sara spent several years in the healthcare group at Ropes & Gray, LLP, before moving on to Genzyme Corporation, where she worked on privacy related issues in the context of the company's genetic laboratory, rare disease registries, and clinical trials. Immediately prior to joining Vertex, Sara helped lead the life sciences group at the Boston office of Verrill Dana LLP. Sara received her J.D. from Yale Law School and clerked for the Honorable Lewis A. Kaplan in the Southern District of New York.
Colin Zick - Foley Hoag
Colin Zick's practice is focused on health care and compliance issues, and often involves the intersection of those two subjects in investigations, administrative proceedings or litigation. His work has had a particular emphasis on compliance issues related to life sciences, pharmaceutical and medical device companies, laboratories, hospitals, providers, and provider organizations. This compliance work includes helping clients establish and maintain effective compliance programs. Colin also defends clients in disputes alleging kickbacks, overpayments, and billing and coding problems, and represents clients before state health care licensing and regulatory entities.
Peter Lefkowitz - GE Digital

Al-Qaida's No. 2, accused in US embassy attacks, secretly killed in Iran

WASHINGTON: Al-Qaida's second-highest leader, accused of being one of the masterminds of the deadly 1998 attacks on US embassies in Africa, was killed in Iran three months ago, intelligence officials have confirmed.
Abdullah Ahmed Abdullah, who went by the nom de guerre Abu Muhammad al-Masri, was gunned down on the streets of Tehran by two assassins on a motorcycle on August 7, the anniversary of the embassy attacks. He was killed along with his daughter, Miriam, the widow of Osama bin Laden's son Hamza bin Laden.
The attack was carried out by Israeli operatives at the behest of the United States, according to four of the officials. It is unclear what role if any was played by the United States, which had been tracking the movements of al-Masri and other al-Qaida operatives in Iran for years.
The killing occurred in such a netherworld of geopolitical intrigue and counterterrorism spycraft that al-Masri's death had been rumored but never confirmed until now. For reasons that are still obscure, al-Qaida has not announced the death of one of its top leaders, Iranian officials covered it up, and no country has publicly claimed responsibility for it.
Al-Masri, who was about 58, was one of al-Qaida's founding leaders and was thought to be first in line to lead the organization after its current leader, Ayman al-Zawahri.
Long featured on the FBI's Most Wanted Terrorist list, he had been indicted in the United States for crimes related to the bombings of the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, which killed 224 people and wounded hundreds. The FBI offered a $10 million reward for information leading to his capture, and as of Friday, his picture was still on the Most Wanted list.
Although al-Qaida has been overshadowed in recent years by the rise of the Islamic State, it remains resilient and has active affiliates around the globe, a UN counterterrorism report issued in July concluded.
Some American analysts said al-Masri's death would sever connections between one of the last original al-Qaida leaders and the current generation of Islamist militants, who have grown up after bin Laden's 2011 death.
"If true, this further cuts links between old-school al-Qaida and the modern jihad," said Nicholas J. Rasmussen, a former director of the National Counterterrorism Center. "It just further contributes to the fragmentation and decentralization of the al-Qaida movement."

Former Baltimore mayor awaits sentence in book deals case
FILE - In this June 8, 2018, file photo, Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh addresses a gathering during the annual meeting of the U.S. Conference of Mayors in Boston. The disgraced former mayor of Baltimore is scheduled to be sentenced during a hearing on Thursday, Feb. 27, 2020. (AP Photo/Charles Krupa, File)
BALTIMORE, Md. – Years before taking the office she'd resign from in disgrace, Catherine Pugh had a vision to see Baltimore "prosper and grow."
In a 2005 self-published collection of poetry, the woman who would become Baltimore's mayor wrote about her solutions for the city's challenges and dream of seeing the community unite. Her verse called out elected officials who think "they can play you and even forget ... / A promise they made or a commitment unkept ... / They can disappear at the blink of an eye ... / And all that was said ... considered a lie ..."
Fifteen years later, a federal judge is weighing the contrast described by those poems — commitment to public service and self-interest — to decide how much time Pugh will spend in prison.
The veteran Democratic politician will learn her future Thursday when she is sentenced for leading a scheme that sold her other self-published books to nonprofits and foundations to promote her political career and fund her run for mayor.
Pugh, 69, pleaded guilty in November to federal conspiracy and tax evasion charges in a deal with prosecutors, who have asked the judge to impose a prison term of nearly five years. Attorneys for Pugh, who was elected mayor in 2016, have suggested a sentence of 366 days.
Prosecutors say Pugh, helped by aide Gary Brown Jr., double-sold the illustrated "Healthy Holly" children's books and failed to deliver them to institutions they were purchased for, including the Baltimore City Public Schools. Pugh used the proceeds to fund straw donations to her mayoral campaign and buy a new house. She resigned under pressure in May.
The University of Maryland Medical System — one of the state's largest employers — was Pugh's biggest book customer. The system paid her a total of $500,000 for 100,000 copies that were meant to be distributed to schoolchildren, but about 60,000 of those books were sent to a city warehouse and a Pugh office where thousands were removed to give to other customers. Prosecutors say Pugh never delivered the other 40,000 books the health system purchased for city schools.
Pugh had previously served in the state Senate, where she sat on a committee that funded the medical system. She also sat on the hospital network's board from 2001 until the scandal erupted in March. The former mayor returned the last $100,000 payment and described the deal as a "regrettable mistake" after the scheme was uncovered.
Brown and another Pugh associate, Roslyn Wedington, have pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud, conspiracy to defraud the government and filing a false tax return. Their sentencing hearings have not been scheduled.
Baltimore and state officials have been closing loopholes exposed by the scandal. Maryland's largest city now requires all elected officials to fully report their business interests. And under a new state law, members of the health system's board are barred from getting contracts without a bidding process and from leveraging their position for personal gain.
The scandal revealed that about a third of the board members received compensation through the network's murky arrangements with their businesses. The system described some of the purchases of Pugh's books as "grants" in federal filings.
Although the sentencing hearing this week will wrap up the federal case, Pugh still must face a state perjury charge for failing to include her ownership of Healthy Holly LLC in financial disclosure forms filed with the Maryland State Ethics Commission. The charge carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison.
Dozens of people, including faith leaders, friends and relatives, have submitted letters to the federal judge in support of Pugh. Kweisi Mfume, the former NAACP leader and Democratic nominee for Maryland's 7th Congressional District, wrote that ordering Pugh to spend several years under supervised release voluntarily working with nonprofits and other organizations would "have more value" than sending her to prison.
In a sentencing memorandum filed in mid-February in federal court, Pugh's attorneys cited some of her poetry when explaining how she became an author. They offered the poem "Politician" from her book "Mind Garden: Where Thoughts Grow" to show her commitment to public service.
"It was different for me … for I had come to serve … / Filled with courage and a lot of nerve …" the court document shows. "I didn't need to be scripted or told what to say … / For it is inside of me and not a part in a play … / I could answer any question … ease any concern … / For I was sharing what I knew and what I had learned …"

Blake Shelton Gets Pumped for Blind Auditions, Shows Off His Goodies in New 'The Voice' Season 3 Promo
In the latest promo for Season 3 of 'The Voice,' country's own Blake Shelton talks about what he is most stoked about, from the Blind Auditions to the competition itself. He also reveals some of his strategies -- though not too many.
Never one to shy away from the spotlight, he rightfully calls himself the "returning champion," since his contestant Jermaine Paul won Season 2. Don't think for a second that Shelton won't use the big win to his advantage during the blind audition phase, trying to lure competitors to his team by reminding them that he was victorious last spring!
Touting his status as the coach of the Season 3 winner isn't the only tactic Shelton is resorting to in order to nab contestants for his team. He even pulled out his Male Vocalist of the Year award from the ACMs, which was hilariously tucked "accidentally" into his big red chair and poking him in the back -- and used as a tool of bribery in this clip. It sure got the message across, though, that if you stick with him, you're a winner!
In the spot, Shelton gets serious (for a hot second) and says, "My favorite thing is about going in the Blind Auditions, is that any moment, we could be hearing the next superstar."
He also points out that some of his fellow coaches have something to prove. "One is not me, the other is not Adam," he said about his bromance partner, since both have won 'The Voice' seasons already. He threw a playful diss at Cee Lo Green and Christina Aguilera, who are winless so far.
Overall, though, Shelton stated that he also loves the effect that the show has on people and on music.
Season 3 of 'The Voice' kicks off on Sept. 10 on NBC. Tune in and see if Shelton can score back-to-back wins. He will have luck on his side, as he will be assisted by pop crooner Michael Buble as a mentor.

There's an age-old question: What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object? I don't know much about physics, but I do know is that when you combine the two, you get a carp.
Whoever named the common carp obviously never did battle with one, because they fight in a way that is anything but common. I'll never forget the first time I felt the power of these fish, on a muddy stream in upstate New York. That first fish bulldozed its way into my backing and spun my reel handle out of control, beating chunks of skin from my knuckles. That painful encounter marked the beginning of a new obsession in my fly fishing life.
I hate the title of this article,implying that the old stereotype is true – that these fish are garbage or trash fish. The author and editors should know better.
OH Jeeze!! Lighten up!! A Rose is a rose is a rose….dude! And for the record…these are very destructive non-native fish. They destroy a lot of native habitat for native fish. I enjoy catching them on a fly and letting them go, but on the same hand I'll kill everyone I see when I'm bowfishing…..but I'll leave gar alone because they are native.


Kois have been famously known for its beautiful colorful looks. This Asian-originated kind of fish becomes everyone's favorite when it comes to decorating a backyard pond.

When you're managing a business that is growing larger and larger, you'll generally feel like there are a lot of ways in which life will get easier for you. In particular, the fact that you have a consistent and loyal customer base will allow you to enjoy a bit more security. Still, there are a variety of different challenges and difficulties you may need to deal with as a result of becoming a bigger and better company. You might find that it becomes a lot harder to be able to keep your payroll organized when you're dealing with a larger staff.
For companies that are finding it harder and harder to be able to keep track of all the different employee payments that they need to make, it can be helpful to be able to consult with a few different outside services to help keep things in order. You may find it helpful to hire a payroll services company to manage all of your employee payment needs if you're finding that the regulations are getting too complex for you to deal with or you're facing a limited amount of time to get all of the various sorts of paperwork done. You can get a better sense of how to choose the best payroll services by considering some of the following information.
Many companies discover that the best reason to hire some payroll services will be to make sure that the money they're spending on their employees is going to be documented in a way that meets all of the government's tax regulations. Due to the many different reporting requirements that are out there related to the taxes that you and your employees will need to make, there should be no doubt that you'll have to ensure that you work with a company that knows how to stick to the code.
As you think about whether payroll services are a good option for you, it will also be a good idea to think about the type of personalize payroll program that you can get when you have some very specific needs relative to how you pay your employees. When you're hoping to ensure that your budget is where it needs to be, there are plenty of reasons why payroll services can help.
If you're worried about how well you'll be able to deal with your payroll services on your own, it's going to be crucial to work with a third party payroll service. When you can be sure that you're choosing a company with the right reputation, there should be no doubt about the services you'll get.


Nick Nurse spent almost three decades paying his coaching dues, toiling with teams in Britain, Italy and Belgium, college basketball and the G League.
The chance he's long coveted has finally arrived.
Nurse has agreed to become the next coach of the Toronto Raptors, a person with direct knowledge of the hire told The Associated Press on Tuesday. Nurse will be replacing his former boss, Dwane Casey — under whom he spent the past five seasons as a Raptors assistant. Casey was fired after the Raptors were swept out of the second round of this year's playoffs by Cleveland.
Nurse and the Raptors were completing contract terms Tuesday, according to the person who spoke to AP on condition of anonymity because the agreement had not been announced. ESPN first reported the hiring.
The move seems to suggest there will be at least some continuity between what the Raptors have been doing and what they'll do on his watch. Toronto went 59-23 this season, the best record in the Eastern Conference and second-best record in the NBA behind only Houston — and Nurse was in charge of the offense, led by All-Star guards DeMar DeRozan and Kyle Lowry.
The decision comes a month after Casey was let go and one day after he was hired by the Detroit Pistons as their new coach. The Raptors always raved about Casey's work ethic, and Nurse took note.
"I've learned a lot about preparation from him, the seriousness of attention to detail," Nurse told Canada's Sportsnet in February. "He's been around the league a long time and he's seen it all. That's the biggest thing. We have to prepare the players and can't leave any stone unturned. We have to know everything the other team is doing and really work hard and grind it out."
Nurse graduated from Northern Iowa and got his first head coaching position at Grand View College when he was only 23 — some 27 years ago. He spent more than a decade in Europe, was an assistant coach for Britain at the 2012 London Olympics, is a past G League coach of the year and coached Rio Grande to that league's title in 2013.

# Find Traps
_2nd-level divination_

**Casting Time:** 1 action
**Range:** 120 feet
**Components:** V, S
**Duration:** Instantaneous

You sense the presence of any trap within range that is within line of sight. A trap, for the purpose of this spell, includes anything that would inflict a sudden or unexpected effect you consider harmful or undesirable, which was specifically intended as such by its creator. Thus, the spell would sense an area affected by the **_alarm_** spell, a **_glyph of warding_**, or a mechanical pit trap, but it would not reveal a natural weakness in the floor, an unstable ceiling, or a hidden sinkhole.
This spell merely reveals that a trap is present. You don't learn the location of each trap, but you do learn the general nature of the danger posed by a trap you sense.

Living with: Dublin woman, 63, opens up about trauma of battling anorexia in her 30s
'When I looked in the mirror, I just saw a giant. I didn't think I deserved food.'
Kayla WalshJournalist and Weddings Editor
A 63-year-old Dublin woman who battled anorexia in her teens and then again in her 30s has spoken about her experience with the disorder in a bid to show others that recovery is possible.
Marie Devine told RSVP Live that she first started to have issues with food when she was a child.
"My sister was quite sick when she was a child, and she had a strict, high protein diet," she explained.
"There were all kinds of stresses around all of that. There was such an emphasis on getting her to eat anything, because she was extremely ill.
"Meanwhile I used to feed the dog under the table, because I didn't want to finish my food."
When Marie was in secondary school, her disordered eating got worse and she figured out ways to hide it from her friends and family.
"I was a high achiever, I was obsessed with having everything just right and my appearance fell under that too," she went on.
"I went to school in town and I used to pretend to my classmates that I was going home for lunch, and tell my family that I was staying at school for lunch.
"Really I was spending my lunch hour walking at speed. I ate very little, just enough to get by.
"This was in the late 60s, early 70s - so people hadn't really heard of eating disorders, they weren't spoken about."

After a while, Marie started to develop stomach problems and was taken to hospital.
"I was put on Valium and a drug for my gut," she said.
"All I can really remember about that time is that during every outpatient appointment, I was weighed.
"And every time I was down another few pounds, I was thrilled."
After she left school, her weight stabilised and it seemed like things were looking up.
She studied nursing, got married and had two kids. Then her marriage ended abruptly and her world came crashing down.

"I turned back to the behaviour that was probably my crutch all along," she said.
"For ten years, from when I was 30 to when I was 40, I spiralled into depression, self-harm, suicide attempts and anorexia.
"I was in and out of psychiatric hospital, and my kids were taken into care because their father was gone.
"I wasn't working, I couldn't function at all. I felt as if everything had been taken away from me, and I had failed at life ."
Marie said she wouldn't allow herself to eat as a form of punishment.
"I didn't think enough of myself to allow myself to eat," she explained.
What you need to know about eating disorders to help yourself or a loved one
"I could never think of myself as thin. When I looked in the mirror, I just saw this giant.
"I was also a purging anorexic, so if I thought I had eaten too much I would make myself throw up.
"That's obviously very dangerous if you're not taking in enough food in the first place. I abused laxatives as well, which threw my body totally out of whack.
"I collapsed outside my house one day and the doctors told me that if I didn't do something, I was going to give myself a heart attack."
Doctors focused on giving Marie back her will to live, and she said her disordered eating was only dealt with once she had already gone through extensive psychotherapy.
"The consultant I was attending happened to be an eating disorder specialist, and he was trying to get me to go back into hospital and do an eating disorder programme.
Cork woman Lorna Ahern tells how passion for fitness helped her to overcome anorexia
"At that stage I had been out of hospital for a year and I thought if I went back in I would never get my kids back.
"Bodywhys had just started up, and they had launched a support group. I said I would go just to shut him up and keep my friends happy - they had been watching me fade away and were worried about me."
She said joining the group felt like being able to breathe again.
"People associate eating disorders with teenage girls but there were women and men of all different ages, with different eating disorders," she said.
"It was like getting oxygen."
By the end of the year, the members of the group were actively encouraging Marie to check herself into hospital.

She finally agreed and spent three months getting better.
When she came out, the group had been disbanded due to a lack of infrastructure.
"I thought 'I'll never stay well without a group' so I kept badgering Bodywhys, and then in 1996 I started facilitating the groups to keep them going.
"It's still going, and I'm still on the board for the organisation.
Marie eventually got her two kids back, and she said they are closer than ever.
Emotional eating- What is it, why do we do it and how can we control it with Integrated Wellness and Nutritional Coach Miriam Kerins Hussey
Her advice to anyone struggling with an eating disorder is to confide in someone close to you.
"It's the hardest thing you can do, but it's also the best thing," she said.
"If you don't want to talk to your friends and family, get in touch with Bodywhys.
"I've had issues with food all my life and I've completely recovered. Recovery is possible for everyone."
This week is Eating Disorder Awareness Week.
Bodywhys, the Eating Disorders Association of Ireland, operates a helpline, face-to-face support groups and online support.

Evolution of Japan's Policy Toward Economic Integration
Series: Working Papers by CEAP Visiting Fellows
Naoko Munakata Saturday, December 1, 2001
On October 22, 2000, Japanese Prime Minister Yoshiro Mori and Singapore Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong agreed to formal negotiations for the Japan-Singapore Economic Agreement for a New Age Partnership (JSEPA) in January 2001, in light of the September 2000 report from the Japan-Singapore Free Trade Agreement (JSFTA) Joint Study Group. It was the first time Japan entered into negotiations concerning regional economic integration. With a strong emphasis on the need to address the new challenges globalization and technological progress pose; the Joint Study Group explored a possible "New Age FTA" between the two countries, which Prime Minister Goh proposed in December 1999. Thus, for Japan the JSEPA marked a major turning point in promoting regional economic integration.
This paper looks back on the process that led to the JSEPA negotiations and explores what it takes for a new external economic policy framework to take root. In Section I, I will analyze the changing environment surrounding Japan's trade policy and introduce various issues, based on my experience in the Japanese government, which arose when the "New Age FTA" was first conceived. Section II describes the new conceptualization of Japan's external economic policy. Finally in Section III, I will discuss the challenges ahead for Japan in pursuing economic integration.
