RK Singh recommits to this energy goal on National Energy Conservation Day
"One of the priorities of our government is to provide universal energy access at affordable prices and on a 24/7 basis," Union Power Minister RK Singh said on the occasion of National Energy Conservation Day
PSU Watch Bureau - December 14, 2021
National Energy Conservation Day: CESL distributes 10 lakh LED in a single day under Gram UJALA
New Delhi: Ministry of Power celebrated the National Energy Conservation Day on Tuesday at Vigyan Bhawan, New Delhi under Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav. On this occasion, Union Power Minister and MNRE RK Singh presented the 31st National Energy Conservation Awards (NECA), 1st National Energy Efficiency Innovation Awards (NEEIA) and prizes to the winners of the National Level Painting Competition on Energy Conservation. Singh was the chief guest on this occasion. Minister of State for Power Krishan Pal and Secretary (Power) Alok Kumar graced the occasion and addressed the gathering. CMDs of Power PSUs and senior officials from the Ministry of Power were also present at the event.
In his address, RK Singh said "One of the priorities of our government is to provide universal energy access at affordable prices and on a 24/7 basis. In the recent few years, India has made significant progress in village electrification and providing electricity connections to households".
Singh highlighted that in the Power sector, we have brought total transformation in the past five years by adding 142 GW generation capacity, connecting the entire country into one grid, and achieving the vision of one grid, one market. India has been transformed from an energy deficit to an energy surplus nation. The availability of Power in rural and urban areas has increased tremendously in comparison to 2014 said the minister. Power is available for a duration of close to 22 hours and close to 23.5 hours in rural and urban areas respectively.
The minister also said that the transformation is not just in capacity but also with respect to the energy mix, energy intensity and emission intensity. He informed that India has achieved the NDC target of having 40% energy production from non-fossil sources. This achievement has happened way in advance of our target date. We have one of the lowest per capita emissions in the world and in absolute terms, it comes to 3 percent of the total emissions.
Under the Gram Ujala Scheme, a target of 10 lakh LED bulbs have been distributed today in 5 states, for which the minister congratulated CESL. Distributed in rural areas of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Karnataka, Telengana and Andhra Pradesh, at a highly subsidized cost of Rs 10 rupees in exchange for working incandescent bulbs, it heralds immense saving of energy, as also saving for the consumer. He credited BEE on saving around 300 million tons of CO2 by their various schemes like Perform, Achieve, Trade, (PAT). After the second round of PAT, we have achieved an emission reduction of 66 million tonnes per annum. We are aimed at achieving 175 GW of renewable energy by 2022. 150 GW has been generated while 63 GW of renewable energy is still under generation. The decoupling between growth and energy consumption has happened, we have to push harder said the minister.
The minister stressed the notion that energy transformation alone will not suffice and efforts must also be undertaken to store energy. 1 Unit of energy saved results in 1 Unit of energy generated. Banks will have to realise that energy efficiency saves money and it is not just for a good environment but also the reflection of economics.
The Minister said, large industries have already accepted the benefits of energy efficiency and I found the conscious need to save energy spreading in our country.
Singh complimented the BEE for initiating new awards called 'National Energy Efficiency Innovation Awards' to promote innovation in the energy sector. He congratulated all who won the award this year. He urged all others to come forward and identify another innovative mechanism to reduce energy consumption and participate in this award.
The Minister concluded by saying that all the efforts that are been undertaken by the concerned stakeholders will help us to realise the vision of a greener and healthier India.

A bench, headed by Chief Justice S.A. Bobde and comprising Justices A.S. Bopanna and V. Ramasubramanian, orally said the matter requires extensive hearing. "We will hear this case on Tuesday as the only matter… list these matters on December 8 for hearing," they said.
The bench had told Sundaram, "Why have you filed the IA…why don't we got with the final hearing?" The bench reminded him that it had kept the matter on that day for final hearing, yet an IA has been filed.
"You file an IA, which requires replies and argument," the Chief Justice said. After a brief hearing in the matter, the top court said: "We will list it for December 2 for final hearing."
The top court had said the group should not take any further action on the shares they have already pledged for raising funds. Sundaram, representing the Shapoorji Pallonji group, argued before the bench that the other party is creating havoc on his client's fundraising plans, and the situation is coming to a stage, where they are being blocked in every possible way.
Counsel for Mistry contended before the bench that banks were refusing to give credit against the backdrop of pendency of this plea, and cited that his client's company has nearly 60,000 employees.
The Pallonji group had argued that there is a clear difference between pledging and transferring of shares, and Tata Sons is advertising the pendency of this plea and it having an impact on the company's effort to restructure loans with banks.
"If they want to sell, we are willing to buy. Pallonji group must be restricted from raising further funds by pledging shares," he submitted.

Karen E. Jerardi, MD, MEd
My Biography & Research My Education My Publications
Associate Division Director, Clinical Operations
Fellowship Director, Division of Hospital Medicine
karen.jerardi@cchmc.org
"It is very important to me that every child and parent feels safe and involved in decisions that are made about their care."
I've always loved medicine, and during medical school I discovered that working with children and their families was a true joy. During my residency, I was drawn to the hospital setting rather than the office setting, because I enjoyed the faster pace and the task of diagnosing and managing pediatric illnesses.
I'm now a pediatrician who cares for children admitted to the hospital. I provide support to children and their families during this very stressful time.
My clinical practice is influenced by my experience as a mother. It is very important to me that every child and parent feels safe and involved in decisions that are made about their care. I don't want my patients to have to undergo tests or studies that they do not need. I do want them to feel listened to, cared for and valued. Therefore, I always try to balance the importance of information gathering to arrive at a diagnosis and treatment plan with the desire to protect children and their families them from discomforts associated with unneeded tests.
In addition to my clinical roles, I serve as the fellowship director for the Division of Pediatric Hospital Medicine (PHM) and as the vice chair of the national PHM fellowship directors. I was the first author for the curricular framework for PHM fellowships nationwide. For these and other contributions to teaching, I received the Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center Faculty Award for Educational Achievement in 2017. In 2018, I received the national Pediatric Hospital Medicine Award for Educational Excellence for my work in developing a nationwide standard training program for pediatric hospital medicine doctors. These awards make me proud as they highlight how I am doing my part to educate future doctors.
In my research, I focus on finding the best ways to train future pediatricians and future pediatric hospital medicine doctors to provide the highest quality, safest care to children admitted to the hospital.
In my free time, I love to be with my two kids, my husband, who is also a pediatrician, and our dog. We like to play outside, bake and travel together, and we want to see as many national parks as possible.

Oh, I know I've said it before, but I can only hope to say it again and again: there is nothing like that new poster smell!
Some say Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels was the first to proclaim, "When I hear the word 'culture' I reach for my gun." Others say it might have been Göring or Himmler.* One thing's for sure: once one Nazi blurted the banality, it didn't take long for the rest of them to parrot it. Originality and wit were never hallmarks of the Third Reich. Some years later, the English satirist Malcom Muggeridge did what English satirists do best, and turned brown-shirted thuggery on its head: "When I hear the word 'gun', I reach for my culture." And in case you were wondering, that's what America needs to do next.
The United States has now fully entered the long reaping season that our gun addiction has sown. We have watched in paralyzed horror from Columbine through Virginia Tech through the Café Racer massacre, mere blocks away from my own house in Seattle, right up to and through the seemingly ultimate abomination that was the Newtown Tragedy. I say "seemingly ultimate" because we all know Newtown will not be the end, but rather only a particularly vicious chapter somewhere in the middle of a book we seemed doomed to keep writing.
No, I have limited interest in politics per se. Political solutions are necessary but not sufficient. As the gun-addicts love to remind (and threaten) us, outlawing handguns and assault rifles will merely turn gun-addicts into outlaws. (I am personally okay with that, by the way. Addicts need to find bottom.) We have to go deeper than politics to change our entire society. That's where art comes in. Art can do all sorts of things that politics can never— and should never— hope to. Artists can and must, analyze, prophesy, seduce, synthesize, convince, cajole, ridicule, probe, scour, purge, alienate, repatriate and heal. To make that short list shorter, we must employ all the uses of art to win our country back from this insanity. We must surround the sickness with non-violent culture, like a healthy white blood cell engulfing and dissolving a pathogen.
I'll be posting more essays as part of a larger conversation about how art can be key to disintegrating America's gun cult. I am a playwright primarily, so mostly I am brainstorming potentialities of theatre, but I am equally eager to hear anyone and everyone's thoughts on other creative tactics. Including gun-lovers. I love you too, sick and frightened as you are. I encourage you to join the conversation that will lead to your rehabilitation and your country's ultimate recovery.
Now that we have thanked the men and women who have served and continue to serve in our nation's military, it is appropriate that we give deep thought to how can make their service obsolete.
Nearly all nations have soldiers, but not all nations are free. Having a great military does not make us a great nation. Only a nation worth fighting for can consecrate the sacrifice of those who give their lives and take the lives of others in our name. The poets, the thinkers, the artists, and indeed, all the citizens must exercise the freedoms that others have fought for, or the fighting— stop— let us call it what it is: the killing and dying— will truly all have been in vain.
Let the United States of America not aspire to be the greatest military power in the world. We have already reached this questionable goal. Let us aspire instead to make military might unnecessary, and indeed, as unthinkable and anathematic as slavery is now.

An Immigrant Love-Hate Story of What it Means to Be American. "A rare voice that is both relatable and unafraid to examine the complexities of her American identity." —Reza Aslan, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Zealot: The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth
You know that feeling of being at the wrong end of the table? Like you're at a party but all the good stuff is happening out of earshot (#FOMO)? That's life—especially for an immigrant.
What happens when a shy, awkward Arab girl with a weird name and an unfortunate propensity toward facial hair is uprooted from her comfortable (albeit fascist-regimed) homeland of Iraq and thrust into the cold, alien town of Columbus, Ohio—with its Egg McMuffins, Barbie dolls, and kids playing doctor everywhere you turned?
This is Ayser Salman's story. First comes Emigration, then Naturalization, and finally Assimilation—trying to fit in among her blonde-haired, blue-eyed counterparts, and always feeling left out. On her journey to Americanhood, Ayser sees more naked butts at pre-kindergarten daycare that she would like, breaks one of her parents' rules ("Thou shalt not participate as an actor in the school musical where a male cast member rests his head in thy lap"), and other things good Muslim Arab girls are not supposed to do. And, after the 9/11 attacks, she experiences the isolation of being a Muslim in her own country. It takes hours of therapy, fifty-five rounds of electrolysis, and some ill-advised romantic dalliances for Ayser to grow into a modern Arab American woman who embraces her cultural differences.
Part memoir and part how-not-to guide, The Wrong End of the Table is everything you wanted to know about Arabs but were afraid to ask, with chapters such as "Tattoos and Other National Security Risks," "You Can't Blame Everything on Your Period; Sometimes You're Going to Be a Crazy Bitch: and Other Advice from Mom," and even an open letter to Trump. This is the story of every American outsider on a path to find themselves in a country of beautiful diversity.
Ayser Salman
Ayser Salman was born in Iraq before it became a curiosity, and moved to America as a toddler. She is a writer and producer and editor for companies like Universal Pictures, Miramax Films, Disney, The Weinstein Company, and FX. Ayser lives in Los Angeles, California.

Raves and Reviews
"The Wrong End of the Table is an insightful and enjoyable look at one of the most contested and misunderstood minorities in America today: Muslims. Through her own life story, Ayser Salman uses her experiences to distill not just Islam, but also the impact religion and culture have on how we interact and understand the world around us. What emerges is that rare voice that is both relatable and unafraid to examine the complexities of her American identity— as a minority, an immigrant, and a woman."
—Reza Aslan, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Zealot: The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth
"Romantic struggles and strict immigrant parents inform a journey toward self-acceptance in this fast-paced, funny memoir by an Iraqi-born film editor and producer. . . . The chronological structure wears away as Salman gets older, leaving space for philosophical musings and slices of life: a heartfelt open letter to President Trump, a questioning of her Muslim practice, and a meditation on how long Iraqis take to say goodbye. . . . Always funny, this enjoyable and heartfelt book is great for a plane, the beach, or a free afternoon."
"Laced in her offbeat takes about immigrant life, dating, and measuring up to her parents' demands are vivid descriptions of what it is like to be a Muslim in America, including a letter to President Trump begging him not to turn the country she loves into the Iraq she left behind. Humorous and heartfelt, Salman's story reflects the best—and worst—that her new country has to offer an outsider."
"[Salman's] charming, self-deprecating memoir is filled with stories and observations we'd all benefit from reading."
—HelloGiggles
"This hilarious and heartfelt memoir of feeling out of place in a new country is just what you need to help you laugh at your own misunderstandings."
"Ayser Salman's writing crackles with humor and insight. . . . Her hilarious, thought provoking, and insightful book should be required reading for President Donald Trump. Maybe someone on his staff could tweet him the chapters."
—Matt Williams , writer, television producer, and creator of Home Improvement
"Ayser writes with such wittiness, you can't help but be drawn into her hilarious yet deeply informative and moving personal account. A timely memoir and welcome antidote to fear and division."
—Amir Ahmad Nasr, author of My Isl@m
"The Muslim immigrant experience in the US is anything but funny. Yet, Ayser Salman relies on humor to express the trials and tribulations of the child of an Iraqi family, trying to 'fit in,' and carving her identity as an American Muslim. Her creative use of footnotes is hilarious, as she navigates between the world her parents left behind and her new home. Warm and funny, this read is joyful and heartwarming."
—Sabeeha Rehman, author of Threading My Prayer Rug. One Woman's Journey From Pakistani Muslim To American Muslim.
"Ayser Salman's memoir of life as an Iraqi immigrant in the U.S. is one full of information and insights into Islam, often delivered with humor and candor. In the current political climate, this 'how-not-to guide' provides the reader with everything they wanted to know about Arab people but were afraid to ask."
—Ms. Magazine
"Salman's voice is at once witty and brave in the face of her fish-out-of-water childhood. A refreshing and indefatigable spirit runs through every page."
—Tina Alexis Allen, author of Hiding Out: A Memoir of Drugs, Deception, and Double Lives
"Ayser's stories of growing up will make you wish you were a part of her family, and after you read this book, you sort of will be! She's that honest and inviting. Oh, and she's funny! Very very funny."
—Ellen Sandler, co-executive producer of Everybody Loves Raymond and author of The TV Writer's Workbook
"Ayser Salman has written an important book, especially pertinent in today's political climate, and has done so with humor and heart."
—Cathy Ladman, comedian, actor, and writer, I'm Dying up Here
"This is an unflinching examination of the complex mix that is childhood, identity, and coming of age in America. Salman narrates these often comic intersections with the warmth of someone confiding to her close friends."

Care & Training News
Even short trips can alter the immune response of older horses, study shows
August 20, 2021 August 28, 2021 Horsetalk.co.nz 4646 Views 0 Comments

Older horses being transported for only short distances may have altered immune responses, which could increase their susceptibility to transport-related illnesses, according to researchers.
"Although further work is needed to confirm this, additional caution should be taken in the meantime when transporting these horses, such as by ensuring adherence to general biosecurity precautions and including increased monitoring for any potential adverse effects," Ashton Miller and his fellow researchers wrote in the journal PLOS ONE.
Long-distance transport is associated with stress-related changes in equine immune function, and shipping-associated illnesses are often reported.
However, horses are frequently transported for only short distances. Yet the effects of these short trips on immune function remain largely unknown.
In their study, 12 horses aged 15 to 30 were assigned to either the control or treatment groups. The six treatment horses received a daily antioxidant supplement three weeks before and after transport.
All horses were transported for 1.5 to 2 hours, with blood collected for analysis 21 days before the trip, and on days 1, 3, 7, 14, and 21 after the trips.
Body temperature, heart rate, body weight, and concentrations of the stress hormone cortisol were assessed, as were the effects on a range of cytokines and proteins which play a role in the activation of immune cells.
Transport and supplementation did not appear to affect body weight, heart rate, nor four of the cytokines for which they tested, but it did have an influence on the expression of others, in particular IL-1β and the protein coding gene Serum amyloid A, which were consistent with the anti-inflammatory properties of the supplement used.
Transport increased total cortisol concentrations and body temperature, and exerted an effect on several of the cytokines and proteins for which they tested.
"Short-term transportation affected physiological, endocrine, and immune responses," they said, noting that antioxidant supplementation may ease inflammation in aged horses.
"Immune responses were most altered at 15 minutes post-transport and typically recovered by Day 1, suggesting that horses may be vulnerable to disease during and almost immediately after short-term transport."
Discussing their findings, the study team said that because immune responses have the potential to be both protective and destructive, they are highly regulated in healthy individuals.
"A strong pro-inflammatory response is generally considered protective during acute illness or stress, but an extended pro-inflammatory response can be damaging and must cease when no longer needed."
"Overall," they said, "the results of this study demonstrate that short-term transport significantly affects numerous aspects of equine immune function, particularly within the first 24 hours of transport, and may reflect altered activation of the acute phase and pro-inflammatory responses to transport stress.
"This is potentially concerning given both the frequency with which horses are transported across short distances as well as the consistency of the results with other research findings that have demonstrated that immune function is affected by long-term transportation."
The findings show that antioxidant supplementation can successfully alter inflammation in horses and could potentially be used to modulate the immune response, they said.
"Considering the findings in this study and in other published work, further research into the immunological effects of transport stress in horses is warranted, especially for shorter transport durations and distances.
"Future work should focus on the first 24 hours after transport initiation to determine how immune function responds during this window.
"Additionally, investigations of the effects of age and trip frequency are also necessary to better understand the potential risks that may accompany transport," they said.
The study team comprised Miller, Virginia Barker and Amanda Adams, all with the M.H. Gluck Equine Research Center at the University of Kentucky; and Patricia Harris, with the Waltham Petcare Science Institute in England.

Q: How can I make a dynamic getter/setter I already know how getters/setters work. for example, making inneHTML work on NodeLists
Object.defineProperty(NodeList.prototype,'innerHTML',{set:function(a,b){for(b in this)if(this[b])this[b]['innerHTML']=a}})

I would like to make an object that outputs something based on the property that is being accessed.
ex:
dynamicGetter = function(property){return querySelectorAll(property)}
myObject["div>ul>li>a"][0].innerHTML = "foo"
myObject.div[0].style.background="red"

How can I do that? Is it possible?

A: Here is how to do it:
Currently, this only works in firefox :(
myObject = Proxy.create({
  get: function(x,property) {
    return document.querySelectorAll(property);
  }
});

myObject["div>ul>li>a"][0].innerHTML = "foo"

Steve Sternberg
Prodded by savings-hungry Republicans in Congress, the colossus that is the Department of Energy (DOE) awakened in January to find itself under attack and its offspring-a cherished, $6 billion network of national laboratories-at risk of being orphaned.
Alarmed, DOE embarked upon a campaign to save the department and reshape the laboratories, by shrinking and restructuring them.
At the last moment, one day before the deadlock that led President Bill Clinton to shut down much of the federal government, he signed into law the Energy and Water Development Appropriation Act of fiscal year 1996. The measure preserves DOE at nearly 1995 funding levels.
EMBARRASSMENT: Revelations that Energy Secretary Hazel O'Leary paid $43,500 to a media consultant further lowered morale among DOE staff.
But DOE scientists, many of whom were still struggling with President Clinton's two-year-old, $1.7 billion mandate to court industry and speed technology to market, still must carry on...

In this paper we use new venture creation in Indian family firms to explore the family firm as an inter-institutional system. We argue that in societies where the traditional family dominates social and economic life, the relationship between the two institutions, the firm and the family, is managed via inter-institutional logics. These inter-institutional logics help reconcile the tensions that often arise in the family firms during strategic decision-making. We use archival and interview data on thirty-six new ventures in eight Indian family firms to identify these logics. Our analysis shows that the interaction between firm and family institutional logics in Indian family firms generates four sub-logics: Economic, Expertise, Reputation and Attachment. These four logics are used to frame and screen new venture opportunities and justify resource allocation.

Yates, O'Connor, White Make It Three; Wilsie Pins Way to Second Title
Photo by Gary Middendorf, Chicago Tribune
By ROB SHERRILL
It's difficult to argue that Class 3A was the most star-studded classification it's been in some time.
In the first eight finals matches, both finalists were nationally ranked by WIN magazine, at least one finalist was ranked in 12 of the 14 matches, and overall, 20 of the 28 finalists were ranked. Add in the eight ranked 2A finalists, and the championship matches contained a total of 28 ranked wrestlers.
Three wrestlers won their third state title, all in the state's largest classification: Rudy Yates (132) of Carl Sandburg, Austin O'Connor (145) of St. Rita and Isaiah White (160), one of three champions for Oak Park-River Forest.
Yates made a first-period takedown stand up in a 3-2 victory over Dylan Duncan of Montini, just the third state final match in history matching multi-time state champions. It was his 87th consecutive victory. O'Connor did the same in a 3-2 victory over another defending champion, Shayne Oster of Lockport. Just a junior, O'Connor could become the state's 16th four-time champion a year from now.
White used five takedowns to record an 11-3 major decision over Johnny Mologousis of Lyons Township. Jason Renteria (120) and Allen Stallings (220) also won titles for the Huskies, who placed nine, eight in the top three.
Carl Sandburg placed seven, Marmion Academy six, Montini five and Lockport and Lyons Township three each.
Brady Wilsie (126) of Byron became the 15th wrestler in state history to pin his way to a state title. With his final-match pin in 4:34 over Cooper Secker of Freeburg, Wilsie recorded four pins in a total time of 9:47. The last wrestler to pin his way to a state title also came from Byron – Nelson Baker, in 2014. Wilsie and junior Nolan Baker (132), Nelson's brother, both completed 44-0 seasons.
Washington and Chicago Mount Carmel each placed 10 in Class 2A to lead all teams. Jake Tucker (152) was the Caravan's lone champion. Washington, meanwhile, had three champions, matching Oak Park-River Forest, Marian Catholic and Dakota for the most tournament titlists.
Jacob Warner (182) won his second title for Washington, and Dack Punke (113) and Tyler Delaware (120) also won. Travis Ford-Melton (106), Jose Champagne (160) and Kordell Norfleet (170) all completed undefeated seasons for Marian Catholic, which placed six. Antioch placed four and Lincoln-Way West and Crystal Lake Central three each.
All four Punke brothers earned state medals for Washington. In addition to junior Dack's title, senior Ryder (160) placed second, sophomore Blaize (138) fourth and freshman Jace (195) sixth.
Dakota's champions all won their second titles: Alec Henze (113), Greg Krulas (145) and Nathan Olsen (160). The Indians led all 1A teams with six placewinners, followed by Belleville Althoff, which placed five, and Coal City, which placed four. Byron, Lena-Winslow and Vandalia each placed three.
The three Braunagel brothers also took home medals, but senior Jarrid (138) and sophomore Danny (145) both had to settle for second place. Sophomore Zac (170) finished fifth.
Carl Sandburg and Marmion Academy had two champions in 3A. Yates was preceded by Louie Hayes (pictured above), who avenged his two season losses by scoring a stunner at 113, finishing a takedown with 13 seconds remaining to beat defending champion Real Woods of Montini, 2-1.
Austin Gomez (126) of Glenbard North also made a furious rally to win his second title. Tony Madrigal of Oak Park-River Forest rolled Gomez through for four first-period points, and when Gomez cut him loose to start the second period, Madrigal led 5-0. Gomez cut the deficit to 6-4 with two second-period takedowns, including one with three seconds left in the period, then added two more in the third period, including the winner with 25 seconds remaining, to pull out an 8-7 victory.
Nathan Traxler repeated as 182-pound champion for Marmion Academy, and A.J. Jaffe avenged a regular-season loss with a 4-2 victory over Jaime Hernandez of Oak Park-River Forest to win at 138.
Despite the losses by Woods and Duncan, Montini got a title from Joey Melendez (106), giving the Broncos an individual state champion for the 17th consecutive year, extending their state record.
Matt Rowland (170) of Willowbrook nearly set another all-time record with his stunning 22-second pin of Sage Heller of Deerfield. It was just two seconds behind Scott Dierking's 20-second pin over Jerry Washington of Thornwood in the 185-pound championship match in 1973.
Matt Allen of Hinsdale Central used a third-period takedown to beat Bryan Ditchman of Lincoln-Way Central 3-2, making him the third Allen brother to win a state heavyweight title. Jack (2011) and Brian (2013) were the family's prior winners.
Two 195-pounders, Christian Brunner of Dundee-Cr own in 3A and Eric Schultz of Tinley Park in 2A, completed undefeated seasons. Both dominated, Brunner pinning Dylan Ervin of Metea Valley and Schultz winning by technical fall over John McKinney of Troy Triad. Wesley Kibler of St. Joseph-Ogden had a chance to join them as an unbeaten champion in 1A, but Riley Kauzlaric of Coal City rallied from a 6-4 deficit to win 9-6.
Hunter Grau (145) of Geneseo and Joshua King (285) of Hinsdale South also repeated in 2A. Sophomore We Rachal (132) not only became Chicago Washington's first state placewinner, but its first state champion, completing a tournament in which he pinned the top two ranked wrestlers with a pin of Merik Fulton of Troy Triad.
Will Lucie (138) of Warsaw, Colten Cashmore (170) of Alden-Hebron and John Barnes (285) of St. Bede became the first state champions from their respective 1A schools. Tyler Fleetwood (106) of Fulton and Vinny Scaletta (220) of 2A Ridgewood became the first state champions from their respective schools since 1998.

Q: Assign a math operator to a variable - VB I'm doing a pretty simple project for a class and just wondering if I'm going about it in the right way. We are making a clone of the Windows calculator.
For each of the math operators my code is as follows:
Private Sub btnPlus_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles btnPlus.Click
    If opPressed = True Then
        Select Case (opType)
            Case "+"
                txtField.Text = CStr(CDbl(opStore) + CDbl(txtField.Text))
            Case "-"
                txtField.Text = CStr(CDbl(opStore) - CDbl(txtField.Text))
            Case "*"
                txtField.Text = CStr(CDbl(opStore) * CDbl(txtField.Text))
            Case "/"
                txtField.Text = CStr(CDbl(opStore) / CDbl(txtField.Text))
        End Select
        opPressed = True
        opType = "+"
    Else
        opStore = txtField.Text
        txtField.Clear()
        opPressed = True
        opType = "+"
    End If
End Sub

Is there a way I could simply store an operator in a variable, and then have a line: txtField.Text = CStr(CDbl(opStore) variableHere CDbl(txtField.Text))? I am already storing what operator is used, so is there any easy way to convert that out of a string, and use it as an operator?

A: If you want something different, you could have a member variable of type Dictionary(Of String, Func(Of Double, Double, Double)) to associate a string operator with the actual logic for the operator:
Private _ops = New Dictionary(Of String, Func(Of Double, Double, Double))() From {
    {"+", Function(x, y) x + y},
    {"-", Function(x, y) x - y},
    {"*", Function(x, y) x * y},
    {"/", Function(x, y) x / y}
}

And then use that in your button click handler:
Dim op = _ops(opType)
txtField.Text = CStr(op(CDbl(opStore), CDbl(txtField.Text))

A: You could use NCalc for this - http://ncalc.codeplex.com/
string fullExpression;
string opType = "+";

fullExpression = opStore + opType + txtField.Text;
Expression e = new Expression(fullExpression);

txtField.Text = e.Evaluate().ToString();

Love at first sight, wear it.
Ann Hartman
Of course, if he knew this kind of mentality of Li Mo and Jiao Hua, he would have the impulse to vomit blood directly from internal injuries. Since Li Mo insists on this, then he will not argue with it, let him go. At the worst, if he doesn't do it well, he will do it himself. Li Mo: Although 001 did not say what she thought at all, she did not have to say it at all. Her mind was clear, and all of it was shown in her innocent eyes. What about this bear child who seems to be spoiled and indulged by her, that is, the horn? How could it not be maddening? Li Mo took a deep breath and pressed the emotions in his heart. He calmly explained the matter to the teacher. And Xiang Hua simply can not deny, she is not really so stupid, but did not think Li Mo will stand on the side of 001. Even if others see so what, forced to home, who will tell the truth? When the time comes, it will be easy to reverse black and white to China. Obviously Li Mo is very indifferent to Lin Wanting, who knows he will protect her at the critical time? This is also to let others understand that Li Mo is not as ruthless as he showed to Lin Wanting. This matter is very easy to solve successfully, after 001 and Li Mo have no fruit to talk,american hot tub, are listening carefully. Only after class, Li Mo waited for her outside for the first time. But after Xun Xun saw, to 001 ambiguous smile, compared a refueling posture to her to leave very quickly. 001 did not care, but after Li Mo saw it, his face stiffened without any trace. By the time 001 arrived in front of him, Li Mo's face had returned to normal. Are you,jacuzzi bathtub manufacturers, are you all right? Li Mo looks at Lin Wanting complicatedly, he has no way not be such mood, it is a long story all the time. Li Mo wanted to say another thing to him, but when Lin Wanting stood in front of him and saw her beautiful face and petite figure, Li Mo realized that no matter what, Lin Wanting was a weak woman who needed good care and love. Therefore, this slightly awkward concern came out of Li Mo's mouth. Li Mo's EQ is not low, such words would not have allowed him to have such a performance. However, when this person is Lin Wanting, Li Mo is unable to behave comfortably in front of him. He blinked, smiled at him and said, "I'm fine, thank you." The smile of 001 let Li Mo's eyes flash uncontrollably, whirlpool hot tub ,outdoor whirlpool, not brilliant and gorgeous, always so soft and soft, but it just penetrated into Li Mo's heart. He turned his eyes slightly away from 001's face. So, don't you have anything to say about the accident in class? Li Mo's voice was steady and his expression did not change, but his hand held his pants tightly. Li Mo does not want to escape, he wants to face directly. Although he was not intentional, Li Mo could not tolerate himself taking advantage of the girl like this. Li Mo's words let 001 slightly confused open his eyes, speak? Say what? I really don't feel that there is anything to say, but Li Mo looks very persistent. Suddenly, she realized that human beings need praise. It turned out that Li Mo was waiting for himself to praise him. So 001 said to Li Mo Tiantian: "You did a good job, you are great, you are really awesome!" Because Li Mo's mind at this time is thinking about those charming things, so there is no doubt that this word let him think crooked. Li Mo:!!! He was completely unable to calm down, and his whole body was filled with heat. A girl told the boy that he was great and that he was awesome. Li Mo quickly stopped, feeling that he probably needed to clear his head recently. To Lin Wanting's clear and clean eyes, Li Mo felt even more dirty. However, Li Mo thought that every time such a thing, it seemed that he was at sixes and sevens, and his heart was like a deer bump, while Lin Wanting was like a person who had nothing to do. In other words, every time Li Mo himself was shy, but 001 was not affected at all. This made Li Mo's heart suddenly give birth to a wave of anger, and he held 001's hand tightly and uncontrollably. "I just took advantage of you. I didn't mean to. But this has happened more than once. Why didn't you care?" Li Mo broke the jar directly and said all of them, questioning 001. But 001 looked very surprised at his appearance, she really did not feel that Li Mo was taking advantage of himself. This can not help but let 001 sigh in the heart, the male on the earth is really too introverted, it is really a fragile creature that needs her to be careful. Because it's you, it doesn't matter anyway. This is the rule that she should abide by when she does the task. 001 is very sincere to say this sentence to Li Mo. However, she simply did not know, this sentence in Li Mo's heart set off a big storm. The blush spread to Li Mo's whole cheek bit by bit at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if it could burn and smoke. Although Li Mo's expression is still calm, but his eyes are unconsciously become wet up, this is a sign of emotion. Li Mo did not say anything to 001, it should be said that he was defeated by 001's words, and could not say anything. But 001 is looking at Li Mo's back doubtfully, she is always provocative without knowing it. Hi, Wanting, how's it going? When 001 returned to the dormitory, Xun Xun winked at her. Xiang Hua is not here, it is estimated that she has just done that kind of thing is not good to come back, and Xiaoxiao is generally doing a part-time job. It's all right. 001 answer at random. She is very confident in her ability to complete the task,indoor endless pool, and she must be the best. At night, Li Mo lay in bed very early, and he did not fall asleep. Or it should be said that he was upset by Lin Wanting's actions during the day and could not sleep at all. monalisa.com

The Divide Between China and Taiwan
Grace Hu
Tensions between China and Taiwan can be traced back to 1911-1912, when Chinese revolutionaries in the small East Asian island overthrew the Qing Empire and established the Republic of China (ROC), or what would later come to be known as Taiwan ("History"). Following the eruption of civil war between the ROC and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), the ROC, led by Kuomintang party leader Chiang Kai-shek, relocated to Taiwan in 1949 ("History"). In the same year, Chairman Mao declared the foundation of the People's Republic of China on October 1 ("History").
Over the years, Taiwan has made steps towards democratization, including a historic bill that gives same-sex marriages similar legal rights to a marriage defined in civil law between heterosexuals (Lee). This is the first bill of its kind to be proposed in an Asian country, and represents an important development for human rights' activists in Asia.
The divide between China and Taiwan stems mostly from the topic of independence. Many Taiwanese want Taiwan to become a separate nation, while China views Taiwan as a province and a part of the country. In January of 2016, the leader of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), Tsai Ing-wen, was elected as Premier ("What's behind the China-Taiwan Divide?"). The DPP holds a separatist stance on the issue of independence, and in January, Tsai officially rejected Chinese President Xi Jinping's call for a "peaceful reunification" with China (Jiang). In his same speech, Xi mentioned that China "make[s] no promise to renounce the use of force" in the case of Taiwanese independence (Rivers et al.).
In an interview on February 21, Tsai stated that Taiwan's "independent existence, security, prosperity and democracy" is currently under attack as China continues to pose a military and economic threat to Taiwan (Rivers et al.). On February 22, a statue of Chiang Kai-shek (a political hero to the pro-China camp) was vandalised, which further increased the political strain between China and Taiwan (Hermesauto). Beijing has increased the frequency of military drills, and in February even released a a propaganda video "juxtaposing images of Chinese jets with famous landmarks across Taiwan" (Rivers et al.). The Taiwan military replied with footage of its own, depicting the message, "On standby 24/7" (Rivers et al.). This further indicates that Taiwan is aware of the threats its facing, and is fully prepared to defend its rights if things should escalate to that step.
Taiwan is historically an ally of the US, whose Congress signed the Taiwan Relations Act in 1979 which allows the US to intervene in the case of a non-peaceful attack from China (Rivers et al.). Under President Donald Trump, the US has also signed the Taiwan Travel Act, which encouraged "visits between officials of the United States and Taiwan at all levels" (Jiang). With the current trade war between the US and China ramping up (Jiang), Taiwanese independence has become a topic of heated debate. Therefore, any military fall-out between the two could have drastic impacts on international relations, and change the current political landscape.

NBSSI/Mastercard Foundation offer employable skills training to 80 young people
Ghana News Agency
The National Board for Small Scale Industries (NBSSI) in collaboration with the Mastercard Foundation has offered employable skills training to 80 young people in the Sunyani and Sunyani West Municipalities.
The beneficiaries who were taking through soap making, antiseptics, and hand sanitizer production during the 14-day intensive training, supported by the office of the Second Lady, Mrs Samira Bawumia, were provided with start-up kits to establish their businesses.
They comprised school dropouts, teenage and single parents, widows, and other marginalised groups.
According to the NBSSI, the training formed part of the government's efforts to create jobs for the teeming unemployed youth to make them national assets.
The government is also providing technical and financial support services to Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) to facilitate business development.
In an interview with the Ghana News Agency (GNA), Mr. Nuhu Salifu Dimah, the Bono Regional Public Relations Officer of NBSSI said the training was in line with the "NBSSI/Mastercard Foundation Young Africa Works SANBIZ Project" under the "Apprenticeship to Entrepreneurship (A2E)" component.
He explained the project aimed at providing employment opportunities for young men and women to get decent jobs.
The project also provided other artisan works such as carpentry, masonry, straightening and welding, and auto mechanics.
Mr. Anthony Akolbire, the Bono Regional Manager of the NBSSI noted the training would help to alleviate the plight of the beneficiaries.
Madam Joyce Tabuaa, a beneficiary and single parent from Kwatire in the Sunyani West Municipality thanked the NBSSI and its partners for the training which had empowered her to engage in viable economic activity to fend for her family.

The Ghana news Agency (GNA) was established on March 5, 1957, i.e. on the eve of Ghana's independence and charged with the "dissemination of truthful unbiased news". It was the first news agency to be established in Sub-Saharan Africa. GNA was part of a comprehensive communication policy that sought to harness the information arm of the state to build a viable, united and cohesive nation-state. GNA has therefore been operating in the unique role of mobilizing the citizens for nation building, economic and social development, national unity and integration.

Points: 603 Topic: Rebehair ...Anyone used them?
Wondered if anyone has used Rebehair.com before?
Looking for a non AliExpress manufacturer and wondered if you guys have even heard of them, before I order?
BTW I did search both bhm and bhm in Google but nothing came up.
Not heard of this before. Read the reviews on AliExpress.
Many reviews on AliExpress are questionable, sellers offering incentives for good feedback or retracting negative feedback.
René hair came up as a lesser known but big player in the hair industry from online articles.
I never heard it.but the hair I bought from Virgo hair on aliexpress is gorgeous.
LINDYGAGA..... Yeah, i'm callin you out!!! You have commented on almost EVERY topic on this page with your random nonsense just to promote your Aliexpress store. I must say I am highly amused by your inane ramblings but enough is enough now. Please STTTAAAPPH! You aint slick!!
yea I have been trying to get some information on rebehair and I cant seem to find any review on them but this information here. I guess they are new to this hair game. I am skeptical about them.

How fans can honour Sir Bobby.
Posted on August 2nd, 2009 | 17 Comments |
Sir Bobby at the Freeman Hospital.
What has struck me, and I'm sure so many others over the past few days is not just the huge deluge of tributes from professional footballers, managers, big wigs, journalists and commentators, but also the universal response and outpouring of love from fans of all clubs, demonstrating the immense affection and esteem Sir Bobby was held in.
However the stories that have driven home for me what a special man he was have been the tales from Joe Public, people such as the courier who went to deliver a parcel to SBR's home had the front door opened by the great man himself and was invited in for a coffee and a chat about football that lasted half an hour, the ex security guard from NUFC who standing outside in the pouring rain while the players and Sir Bobby arrived for training found, five minutes later, Sir Bobby outside giving him a brolley to 'keep you dry son' while Sir Bobby got soaked himself. The stories are endless but make you feel proud of him and the values he stood for. I feel immensely proud that this great colossus of a man was associated with and shared our love for this club.
Unfortunately, so many of those values were not always displayed to him, and especially I feel ashamed at the way he was treated by NUFC when he was shown the door by the previous board and also a section of our fans who wanted him out when the results weren't going our way. Instead of having patience and faith that Sir Bobby would turn it around instead they took the easy option and clamoured for his dismissal. They know who they are and hopefully reading all the tributes about Sir Bobby will shame them into realising that not only were their knee-jerk actions ill judged but they also had a profound effect on the decline of our club. This should provide a lesson to all our fans for the future when we have a new manager and start the rebuilding process at St James Park.
This brings me on to his legacy. There have been discussions regarding renaming the East Stand, or building a statue to remember him by and both of those are very noble and honourable gestures. However, lets stop and think about the values he demonstrated consistently throughout his life and to truely honour his memory, we should adopt and demonstrate some of those values ourselves. He was known for getting the best out of players by making them feel 'ten feet tall'. How many have commented over the past days that they would have run through brick walls for him due to the mutual respect they had for each other.
He believed in giving players time, and if they weren't performing investing the time and effort into turning their performances around. He believed in humility, losing with grace and being magnanimous in victory. He believed in respect for the individual no matter who they were. The fans who get on the backs of our players after a couple of poor performances and cause a lack of player confidence which leads to a continued down turn in performance and ultimately them leaving the club only to perform better elsewhere, those fans should take a long hard look at themselves and ask, would the great man appreciate them behaving in that way or would he be appalled? If it's appalled, stop doing it behave as he would. Bite your tongue and have faith that the player will come good if it's a temporary dip in form.
Sir Bobby's list of attributes are too lengthy to describe here but I believe we can all become better people if we follow some of the standards he has set and the manner in which he conducted himself.
I know it's too much to ask for but that would be a better longer lasting tribute to Sir Bobby and as fans of this great club we need to help repair the damage that has been collectively inflicted on it and when he's following the goings on at St James Park from 'upstairs' let's make him proud of it again.

worky i agree we should be ashamed of ourselves the man deserved better from the people he and club he loved i dont think the people who booed ham had an effect on his sacking and i dont think it was through hatred of sir bobby either i just think thsoe fans were stupid enough not to realise how lucky we were
playing great football and winning(most of the time) and for any 1 interested there is a 3 hour long tribute to sir bobby on itv 4
ps what channel is the u-19s match on and at what time
i apologise geordie deb
i just read the tag but my 1st comment still stands
Very true Deb. Sadly.
UTD111 says:
how could we do any sort of stand renaming etc without honouring Joe Harvey also?
utd 111 there are many legends that need remembering
Micky Toon says:
I've said it before, the man is a true legend, however he didn't really do much for NUFC. Look at where the statue of the man sits. Ipswitch Town. He was a total legend as a manager there, winning cups they shouldn't have. PSV, Sporting Lisbon, FC Porto and Barcelona are all clubs where Sir Bobby will be remembered for great achievements, but he really didn't do anything for NUFC as a manager.
As UTD111 has already said,Joe Harvey or even Bob Moncur would be people who should have part of the ground named after them. After all they actually achieved something at the club.
However, Sir Bobby IS a Geordie Legend and the area should remember him in some way. Perhaps something in the city centre, but not the football ground.
Stuart79 says:
Off subject a tad but one website is claiming that the club has been sold and an announcment is to be made this week.
That would be a fitting tribute to Sir Bobby
52times says:
I would prefer the East Stand be named after Joe Harvey too, but it's not likely to happen.
Sir Bobby was a wonderful, inspiring fellow who deserves every tribute he gets. However, Joe Harvey was the real Newcastle United man. He was either captain or manager for all the major trophies we have won in the last eighty years.
He's been ignored, really. Makes me sad.
Me too, 52.
well i wouldnt go as far as saying he done nothing for us he was an amazing manager imo possibly our 2 or 3 rd best between him and kk but he and otheers need to be remembered i would have statues of
bob moncur
h gallagher
sir bobby
joe harvey

Beye,
With all due respect, in terms of what they have done for the club, no-one even comes close to Joe Harvey and Stan Seymour unless you go back to the early Jurassic period.
stan seymour ?
im not saying any of those came close but they deserve remembering
Beye, you haven't heard of Stan Seymour Snr, or 'Mr Newcastle' as he used to be known?
He won the FA Cup and the League for us as a player in the 'twenties, and was our head coach / manager for the FA Cup wins in the 'fifties.
http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/NEWCseymour.htm
He's probably thinking of Seymour's kid, worky.

Military units
Selachian
Selachian Empire
First seen in:
The Murder Game
AUDIO: The Selachian Gambit, PROSE: The Final Sanction, AUDIO: The Architects of History
The Selachians were the Ockoran soldiers in the Selachian Empire. They had been specially modified for war, having their lower halves replaced with legs and being installed in an armoured shell. (PROSE: The Final Sanction)
Technology Edit
The Selachians were distinguished by the Selachian battlesuits. These battlesuits were large, bulky things that gave the Selachians the appearance of humanoids. Selachians had to have studs implanted into their nervous system and have their tails removed in order for them to use the battlesuits. They had plasma weapons attached to their arms, which were built for fear rather than power (though it was still a dangerous weapon). Their helmets were shaped and painted to look like sharks in order to intimidate their enemies. Later battlesuits were equipped with nanites to repair damage and to counteract the nanites of the Terran Security Forces. (PROSE: The Final Sanction)
The Eighth Doctor's companion Samantha Jones once wondered if Selachians had the power to melt stone, (PROSE: Revolution Man) while Polly Wright theorised that the Selachians had a way of communicating with each other without people hearing. (AUDIO: The Selachian Gambit)
Culture Edit
The Ockorans adopted the name "Selachians" after studying other worlds and learning that sharks were the most commonly feared marine creatures amongst humans. (PROSE: The Murder Game) Selachians had a strong sense of pride and would refuse to show weakness or fear. They would rather die than give into their enemies. Conversely, their weaponry, armour and name was specifically chosen to cause fear in the enemy. Selachians hierarchy was shown by stripes painted onto their battlesuits, going from top-left to bottom-right. The Supreme Leader's suit had black stripe edged with red, while the next level down had blue stripes. (PROSE: The Final Sanction)
At some point before the 22nd century, the Ockoran's home-planet of Ockora was discovered by the Kalarians and chosen as a vacation spot. Though the Kalarians knew of the Ockorans, they believed they weren't intelligent and hunted them for sport. (PROSE: The Final Sanction)
The Ockorans eventually developed armour that allowed them to breathe on land, and emerged from the oceans during a culling festival and took their revenge on the Kalarians. Their homeworld was cordoned off and the Ockorans were eventually forgotten. (PROSE: The Murder Game) The Ockorans developed space travel and left Ockora. In order to take their revenge on the Kalarians, they followed them to their homewolrld of Kalaya and conquered the planet within the six months. They then conquered three more neighbouring worlds within a year. The Selachians then formed the Selachian Empire, and soon became a major power on the galactic markets. (PROSE: The Final Sanction)
The Eighth Doctor said that Selachians often tried to sell weapons to less advanced planets, much like 21st century Earth. (PROSE: Interference - Book One)
In an alternative timeline, the Selachians attacked Moonbase in 2044. (AUDIO: The Architects of History)
In 2054, the Selachians made contact with humans and sold them weapons. In 2069, they were featured in the Eye-Spy Book of Alien Monsters, which was handed out to UNISYC personnel as potential threats. (PROSE: Alien Bodies)
In 2136, the Selachians attacked Hotel Galaxian. They were defeated by the Second Doctor, Ben Jackson and Polly Wright. (PROSE: The Murder Game)
In 2191, the Cybermen stole a Selachian ship. (PROSE: Killing Ground)
At some point before 2211, the Selachians invaded the Earth colony Rho Priapus. The planet was later taken back by the Space Marines. (PROSE: The Janus Conjunction)
For decades, the Selachians and the humans had traded with each other. Eventually, towards the end of the 22nd century, one deal went particularly bad, causing the humans to declare war on the Selachians. The war went badly for the Selachians and by 2204 they had been pushed back to Ockora. Though they had taken prisoners on planets they were forced to leave, such as Molinar and Kalaya, this wasn't enough to save them and Ockora was destroyed by General Wayne Redfern when he dropped the G-bomb.
After the meddling of the Second Doctor, the Supreme Leader and forty Selachian soldiers were able to escape the planet's destruction and get on-board the Triumph. They killed everyone on the ship, but another G-bomb was accidentally set off, leading to the formation of another black hole and killing the last of the Selachian race. (PROSE: The Final Sanction)
In 2591, Bernice Summerfield had a Selachian palmtop, which she stole from the body of a Selachian stormtrooper. (PROSE: Down)
In 2775, Jack Harkness told a story about when he met the Selachians. (PROSE: The Stealers of Dreams)
The short story The Concept of War, which featured the Selachians, was released by Cacteraldi Publishing in January 2017. It was written by Faisal Martinez "with thanks" to their creator Steve Lyons.[1]

Forecast on Potter, Adams and Leonard
In: Measure 37
Eastside Guy, featured in Brainstorm Magazine
With less than a year to go until the next primary election, Portland city officials facing re-election campaigns, along with the hopefuls who may challenge them, are busy attempting to get their faces and names in front of the electorate by any means necessary. Their attempts to do so range from the ridiculous to the sublime and it would be wonderful comedy if it weren't for the fact that it plays well in Portland.
The biggest headline grabber, of course, has been city commissioner Randy Leonard.
For some time now Leonard has been pandering to Portland's progressives through the themes of taking on big oil by his bio-diesel initiatives and taking on the big developers and the PDC by successfully wresting control of their budget through a voter endorsed initiative. Leonard also was a prominent figure in the defeat of Tom Potter's "strong mayor" proposal. But Leonard's biggest headline grabber came from a debate over, get this, duct tape.
Leonard probably didn't know that his casual remark on Bob Miller's morning radio show on KPAM would ignite a firestorm of controversy, but once it did he was able to capitalize on it masterfully. The so called "tradition" of applying duct tape to Portland's streets to stake out a spot for the Grand Floral Parade was called into question. Leonard painted the picture of some guy "in a Hummer, with a pinky ring, Washington plates and a short case" booting out innocent, early rising, parade-goers from the viewing spot he had "reserved". His comments resonated with Portlanders unlike anything in recent memory. His office was literally flooded with e-mails, overwhelmingly in support of banning the practice. Media weblogs were likewise flooded with comments. The duct tape controversy generated more interest than the Tram cost overruns, public campaign financing fraud a the solution for the crumbling Sellwood bridge. The elevation of Leonard's public profile from the controversy resulted in a laudatory missive by the Oregonian's Anna Griffin, describing Leonard as a plain talking, hard driving man of the people. His re-election seems assured. With the exception of the usual scattering of lunatic fringers who like to see their photo in the voter's pamphlet, I doubt if he will face any opposition.
The other commissioner whose term will expire in 2008 is Sam Adams. Adams, if you recall, served as Vera Katz chief of staff for a decade and barely beat out Nick Fish for his council seat in a nail biting race in 2004. Adams has racked up several successes during his first term including bringing the beleagurred Tram project to conclusion and beginning the process of bringing serious reform to Portland's onerous business license fee. Adams, who is widely rumored to be the most serious contender for the Mayor's office should Tom Potter not seek re-election, has put himself back into the news recently by suggesting that dealing with a decades old backlog of road maintenance in Portland will require more taxes.
I asked Adams to share his views on additional funding to fix the long-neglected transportation infrastructure.
"The easiest option is to do nothing," Adams told me, "but if I can muster enough political support I am looking at a three or four-legged stool. That way the pain is spread among all the stakeholders." Among the options are local gas taxes, street maintenance fees and commercial parking fees.
Adams has been holding town hall meetings to inform the public as to the scope of the problem and the dollars needed.
"Our current backlog is 422 million," Adams said, "and it's growing at nine million per year."
Adams describes the forums as often starting out on a contentious note with attendees complaining about transportation dollars spent on streetcars, bike lanes and the aerial tram, but after discussion, Adams says, the response becomes one of "sober acknowledgement".
"I know raising this issue is not popular," Adams told me. "But we can save lives and money by dealing with these issues now. Waiting will not make it easier or cheaper."
Adams, of course, is a politician, and on the surface it seems to be a risky political move to suggest higher taxes less than a year from his name being on a ballot. But it could be otherwise. In the light of Tom Potter's abysmal record as mayor, Adams may be positioning himself as a leader who can acknowledge unpleasant realities and make tough choices. I asked Adams about his future political hands, but, so far, he's not tipping his hand.
"I love the job I have now and am focused on doing it well," he said. "I will think about my political future at a later date."
Meanwhile, Mayor Potter, whose charter reform initiative was soundly trounced at the ballot box and whose "visioning project" has cost over a million dollars and only received ten percent of the expected participation, continues to refuse to announce his intentions until September. Despite his record of losses, a recent Riley poll shows the mayor continues to have a fifty percent approval with Portland voters. Council hopefuls, possibly including street car advocate Chris Smith, former publicly financed candidate Amanda Fritz, and two time loser Nick Fish, wait on the sidelines until Potter makes up his mind. There is little doubt they will jump at Adams seat if it becomes available. All these folks, in their own way, continue to keep their presence before the public. Fish, of course, with his popular Sunday morning T.V. show, Outlook Portland and Chris Smith with the recent "Citizen Smith" bio in the Portland Tribune. For her part, Amanda Fritz, who still believes that the misguided public campaign financing system will open up council seats to the downtrodden, posts wonkish diatribes on her blog and testifies before city council ad nauseam.
One candidate, Charles Lewis, has already announced for Adams seat. Like Fritz, Lewis is a fan of the public financing system. In the great tradition of "keep Portland weird" Lewis kicked off his campaign by driving his amphibious tour bus across the Willamette and up to city hall to file his paperwork.
As far as Potter is concerned, it's anybody's guess. City Hall insiders describe him as discouraged, disengaged and disinterested. Many of them say there is no chance he will run again. But I'm not so sure.
I've only noticed one thing that has animated Tom Potter during his term as mayor: the Federal government. From pulling out of the JTTF, to having his office swept for bugs when he thought the local FBI was snooping around city hall, the mayor has gone out of his way to stay on the outs with the federal authority. His reaction to the recent arrests of illegal workers at the Fresh DelMonte plant was no exception. The mayor sent one of his office mouthpieces to protest with a bullhorn in front of the Federal building, a la La Raza, and he issued an angry statement that making the arrests was wrong. His comments set off a controversy almost as large as Leonard's comments over duct tape. On the media blogs, overwhelmingly, citizens derided the mayor for being in favor of "selective" law enforcement. One east Portland business leader told me that Potter's reaction was political suicide and the death knell for any future campaign.
I'm not so sure. A planned protest by Oregonian's for Immigration Reform on the steps of city hall attracted three times as many Potter supporters as Potter deriders. Rather than being political suicide, I have to wonder if Potter's comments weren't the opening salvo of his bid for re-election.
But what the heck do I know? I'm just an Eastside Guy.
