Doctors Sue FDA Over 'Illegal' Attempt to Prevent Ivermectin Use
In a lawsuit filed earlier this month, a group of doctors sued the Food and Drug Administration and Department of Health and Human Services for "unlawfully" interfering with their ability to practice medicine and prescribe ivermectin for use in Covid-19 patients.
Specifically, the three doctors—Robert L. Apter, Mary Talley Bowden and Paul E. Marik—argue the FDA can't ban use of an approved human drug for "off-label" use.
"The FDA also can not advise whether a patient should take an approved drug for a particular purpose. Those decisions fall within the scope of the doctor-patient relationship," the complaint says. "Attempts by the FDA to influence or intervene in the doctor-patient relationship amount to interference with the practice of medicine, the regulation of which is — and always has been — reserved to states."
One example cited in the complaint is the FDA's article detailing "Why You Should Not Use Ivermectin to Treat or Prevent COVID-19." Another is an FDA tweet suggesting the drug is only used for animals, when in reality the drug won a Nobel Prize in 2015 for human use.
The doctors are clear the lawsuit in not a debate about the efficacy of ivermectin use for Covid-19 patients, but rather seeks to preserve the independent judgement calls physicians make with their patients regarding treatment options.
They argue if the federal government is allowed to interfere with treatments a physician recommends during Covid-19, "this interference will metastasize to other circumstances, destroying the carefully constructed statutory wall between federal and state regulatory powers, and between the FDA and the professional judgment of health professionals."
In a statement, Bowden said "fighting the system has been a much bigger challenge than fighting the disease."
"Despite my excellent track record treating COVID patients, the FDA's smear campaign against ivermectin continues to be a daily hurdle to overcome," she said. "I am fighting back – the public needs to understand what the FDA has done is illegal, and I hope this suit will prevent them from continuing to interfere in the doctor-patient relationship."

Background: Tell USCIS to rescind the "2014 Lesson Plan" on Credible Fear. The "2014 Lesson Plan" is a training guide for asylum officers and immigration agents. It was issued hastily in February of 2014, without transparency. We suspect it was designed to encourage asylum officers to deny more cases and kick out genuine asylum seekers from the US. The "2014 Lesson Plan" misstates the laws that apply to asylum, and it is not in line with the US Supreme Court's interpretation of the law.
SIGN THE PETITION: ADD YOUR NAME TO HUNDREDS ASKING FOR JUST TREATMENT OF ASYLUM SEEKERS!
- Organizational sign on letter from diverse coalition of immigrants and advocates for immigrant, LGBTQ, and human rights groups.
"We call for a basic level of integrity, protection, and care for asylum seekers undergoing credible fear interviews in the United States. We urge USCIS to rescind the 2014 Lesson Plan and retrain officers to apply an appropriate standard that upholds our values and laws."
Background: The purpose of a credible fear determination is to screen for possible refugees and to ensure that the U.S. does not return a person to a country where the person would be at risk of being persecuted or tortured. We are concerned that the 2014 Lesson Plan and resulting training of asylum officers will lead to violations of U.S. obligations under domestic and international laws to protect asylum seekers.
We, a broad and diverse coalition of immigrants and advocates for immigrant, LGBTQ, and human rights, request an immediate rescission of the 2014 Lesson Plan on Credible Fear of Persecution and Torture Determinations (2014 Lesson Plan) issued by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) on February 28, 2014.
Individuals who previously would have received positive determinations have, under the 2014 Lesson Plan and training, received negative determinations including some of the most vulnerable asylum seekers, such as LGBTQ survivors of persecution, and domestic violence survivors.
The 2014 Lesson Plan is misleading because its organization, formulation, and tone suggest a higher standard for making a positive credible fear determination than is appropriate under applicable law.
Thus, the Lesson Plan creates confusion by suggesting that a high possibility of success is required, which is inappropriate under the Supreme Court precedent.
With the 2014 Lesson Plan, DHS risks erroneously returning many asylum seekers to their countries of origin in violation of basic principles of refugee law.
I ask for integrity, protection, and care for asylum seekers in the United States.

Alpine mountain range revealed beneath Antarctic ice
Earth 24 February 2009
By Catherine Brahic
An Alpine mountain range lies deep beneath the research base
(Image: BAS)
The researchers flew the equivalent of three times around the globe
The researchers studied the Gamburtsev mountains, located at the centre of Antarctica, using instruments mounted on airplanes
(Image: IPY)
Remote sensing reveals the profile of the ice-locked peaks (lower graph)
A series of prefabricated buildings perched on stilts create a boxy but unremarkable hamlet on the Antarctic ice. What is astonishing about this research base is that it is set 500 metres above the peaks of a 3500-metre mountain range.
The Gamburtsev mountains are not a new discovery – they were first located 50 years ago by a team of Russian scientists. But little was known about their scale and morphology. Now, an international team has returned with data revealing that if you could strip away the ice, the view would look rather like the European Alps (see image).
The team set up camp in two locations near to Dome A – the highest point on the ice sheet, where temperatures average -30 °C.
For weeks they flew two aircraft over the ice, exploring the hidden peaks with radar and aeromagnetic sensors, and covering a distance equivalent to three trips around the globe. Gravity sensors on the surface of the ice collected yet more data.
Toothy range
"We now know that not only are the mountains the size of the European Alps, but they also have similar peaks and valleys," says Fausto Ferraccioli, a geophysicist with the British Antarctic Survey. "This adds even more mystery about how the vast East Antarctic ice sheet formed."
The Gamburtsev range is thought to be the birthplace of the ice sheet. It sits at the centre of the continent, far from warming sea air, and reaches between 3000 and 4000 metres above sea level. This means that some 35 million years ago when the ice sheet started to form, the range would have been very cold.
It is unclear, though, how fast the ice spread across the continent, and whether the ice formed the jagged landscape or the peaks were there first.
If the ice sheet formed slowly, glaciologists would expect to see rounded plateaus in places where it eroded the rock, but the surveys found no such soft landscapes. This may suggest that the ice grew very rapidly, effectively preserving an ancient Alpine landscape beneath kilometres of ice. On the other hand, Ferraccioli says it would be foolish to ignore the possibility that the flow of rivers and glaciers carved deep valleys as the ice sheet was forming.
How the mountains came to be in the first place is also something of a mystery. One theory – that they were volcanic peaks – was weakened by data published last year, which found that the sediment downstream from the peaks is not volcanic in origin.
Hidden fault?
Yet it is difficult to see how the peaks could have grown out of the collision of two tectonic plates – East Antarctica is generally thought to be a homogenous, stable plate.
One of the first tasks in sifting through the data, says Ferraccioli, will be to see if there is any evidence of major differences in the geology of the mountains. Such differences could be a sign that there is an inactive fault line beneath the ice that could have formed the range.
Alternatively, a broad collision elsewhere could have pushed the mountains up within the plate – a bit like a lump of play dough being squished between two wooden blocks. Two portions of the ancient supercontinent Gondwana collided at roughly the same time as the Gamburtsev range is thought to have first emerged, but quite where that happened isn't known.
One thing is certain from the preliminary data: there's liquid water in them there valleys. "The temperatures at our camps hovered around -30 °C," says Robin Bell, of the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory at Columbia University. "But three kilometres beneath us, at the bottom of the ice sheet, we saw liquid water in the valleys. The radar mounted on the wings of the aircraft transmitted energy through the thick ice and let us know that it was much warmer at the base of the ice sheet."

COP23 marked the second Water Action Day held at a UN climate change conference, the first occurring last year in Marrakesh. This thematic day sponsored as part of the Global Climate Action (GCA) Initiative brought together approximately 33 water agencies and other interested individuals and corporations to discuss the use of water as it relates to climate change and the strategies needed to promote better water management.
In the GCA Media Briefing on Energy, Water and Agriculture, Mariet Verhoef-Cohen, President of Women for Water, World Water Council Member and spokesperson for the #ClimateIsWater Initiative, discussed how the infrastructure for clean drinking water access is difficult to achieve. This central theme was reflected throughout the conference, and contributed to one of the main focuses of Water Action Day revolving around water finance and how to build a sustainable system for water to prevent shortages in the coming years.
She also discussed how, unlike energy, water technology is not often seen as an investment, and how this perspective must change for sustainable water initiatives to progress.
Delia Paul, Thematic Expert for Poverty Reduction, Rights and Governance (Malaysia/Australia), discussed how many speakers throughout the day mentioned that their countries consider water an important part of their climate action plan, but they have yet to make the jump to financing it.
A number of other water-interested organizations discussed how water fit into larger themes they were advocating for. One such group—the #ClimateisWater campaign—encouraged countries to take water into account in their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC's) and policies relating to other factors such as energy and health.
Many participants advocated for incorporating nature-based practices such as biochar, permeable soils, and other applications.
A common theme was the importance of collecting and sharing data on water availability and use for best practices in water management when planning at all levels from government to families.
Farmland water management practices were important discussions, especially considering expected impacts of climate change.
Overall, Water Action Day at COP23 was filled with important and innovative dialogues on the role of water in the climate debate, and brought together key stakeholders that will need to work together to promote sustainable water initiatives for the future.

Q: How can I use an older version's CCS header file? I am trying to include "msp.h" in a CCS v9 project in order to run code in a book I am reading. Here's an example code snippet:
 * This program toggles green LED for 0.5 second ON and 0.5 second OFF.
 * The green LED is connected to P2.1.
 * The LEDs are high active (a '1' turns ON the LED).
 *
 * Tested with Keil 5.20 and MSP432 Device Family Pack V2.2.0
 * on XMS432P401R Rev C.
 */

#include "msp.h"

void delayMs(int n);

int main(void) {
    P2->SEL1 &= ~2;         /* configure P2.1 as simple I/O */
    P2->SEL0 &= ~2;
    P2->DIR |= 2;           /* P2.1 set as output pin */

    while (1) {
        P2->OUT |= 2;       /* turn on P2.1 green LED */
        delayMs(500);
        P2->OUT &= ~2;      /* turn off P2.1 green LED */
        delayMs(500);
    }
}

/* delay milliseconds when system clock is at 3 MHz for Rev C MCU */
void delayMs(int n) {
    int i, j;

    for (j = 0; j < n; j++)
        for (i = 750; i > 0; i--);      /* Delay 1 ms*/
}

It appears that it needs the msp.h include file to run, but I haven't been able to find the specific header file anywhere in the resource explorer when searching through the msp432 libraries. Any info on how to get this to compile would be great!
Thank you!

A: You could throw it into the CCS cloud editor likely.  Make a new project for your device and copy and paste the code there.  It's generally pretty proficient at finding headers.
The basic cycle for stuff like this on the local editor is:

*

*Make sure the development files for the device is installed

*Figure out where those files are hiding

*Dig through files until you find the header

*Go into properties of your project and under compiler options add the folder

What may also help is to make sure you have the MSP432 stuff installed, import it's blinky led example project and see what it's include options are.  Or even just modify that newly imported project with this code.
Sorry this isn't a step by step. I'm not on my computer with CCS right now.

What President Trump gets wrong about immigrants and crime in Sweden
By Zack Beauchamp@zackbeauchamp Updated Feb 24, 2017, 11:12am EST
Share All sharing options for: What President Trump gets wrong about immigrants and crime in Sweden
(Olivier Douliery/Pool/Getty Images)
Friday morning, President Donald Trump gave a speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference — in which he took shots at, of all things, the nation of Sweden. The president warned that some dire stuff was happening there as a result of mass Muslim immigration:
Foreign terrorists will not be able to strike America if they cannot get into our country. And, by the way, take a look at what's happening in Europe, folks...Take a look at what happened in Sweden. I love Sweden. Great country, great people, I love Sweden. They understand I'm right. The people there understand I'm right. Take a look at what's happening in Sweden.
This first surfaced in a Trump speech last weekend, a result of the president watching Friday night's episode of the Fox News show Tucker Carlson Tonight. In the episode, filmmaker Ami Horowitz alleged that there was "an absolute surge in gun violence and rape in Sweden" as a result of mass Muslim immigration. As if to underscore the point, there was a riot on February 20 in a heavily immigrant suburb of Stockholm (it was limited, with only two injuries and no deaths).
This is the exception, though, not the rule. A cursory look at the data shows there is no immigrant-driven crime or terrorism wave in Sweden. There has been no "absolute surge" in rape. And Horowitz, the ultimate source of all this, is facing serious allegations of selectively editing footage of Swedish police officers to make it seem like they're blaming crime on immigrants when they actually aren't.
The American president is using the world's largest megaphone to amplify a false panic about brown-skinned immigrants raping white women.
1) There is no immigrant crime wave in Sweden
In the past decade, there's been a spike in immigration to Sweden. In 1990, 9.2 percent of Sweden's population was foreign-born. That figure was 11.3 percent in 2000, and 15.4 percent in 2012.
Immigrant rates have grown even further in recent years, owing in large part to the global refugee crisis. In 2014, Sweden admitted more asylum seekers, per capita, than any other country on Earth. Many Swedish immigrants today hail from war-torn Muslim-majority countries like Syria, Afghanistan, and Iraq.
Some people assumed this would produce a major uptick in the rates of violent crime in Sweden. Historically, immigrants to Sweden do commit crimes at higher rates than the native-born, though children of immigrants commit crimes at basically the same rate as children of native-born Swedes (controlling for income).
However, there's no evidence of a massive crime wave. Here is an official Swedish government tally of the rates of six different types of crime directed at persons — fraud, assault, threats, harassment, sexual violence, and mugging. (Homicide is excluded because the rate is tiny; in 2014, there were 87 murders in the entire country of roughly 10 million.)
(Swedish Crime Survey)
As you can see, there is no significant uptick in any of the crime categories alongside the rise in immigration. The most recent official report available in English, covering 2015, is not incorporated into that chart — but it concludes that the rates of these crimes are at "approximately the same level as in 2005." That's a slight increase over the 2014 rate, but hardly evidence of a crime wave — let alone one committed by migrants or refugees.
Sweden does not publish official data on the race or ethnic identity of criminals, which is actually common among European countries. Anti-immigration publications like Breitbart have used this fact to accuse Swedish authorities of covering up the truth about immigrant crime.
It's true that this lack of public data makes it hard to assess the precise impact of immigration on crime rates. It's possible there's a small one that doesn't show up in the aggregate data.
But we can say, without a doubt, that the large numbers of immigrants entering Sweden do not appear to be affecting the overall crime rate in a major way, despite the large number of them entering the country. There is no Swedish crime wave.
2) There is no rape epidemic in Sweden
If you spend any time in the conservative media, particularly alt-right or anti-Islam sites, there's a more specific narrative about Sweden than the one about crime in general. It's about rape — specifically, that Muslim immigrants are raping Swedish women in unprecedented numbers.
Breitbart has published an enormous number of pieces in recent years on the alleged immigrant rape crisis in Sweden, focusing on cities like Malmö with large Muslim immigrant populations. Representative headlines include "Police warn of child rape epidemic in migrant-occupied Malmö" and "Migrants jailed after woman abducted at gun point, gang-raped in hookah bar basement."
So to be fair to Trump, we need to look at rape rates specifically — to see if there's any evidence that rape, specifically, has gone up as a result of immigration. So what do the official statistics say?
First, the rape rate in Sweden is baseline higher than in other European countries. This is mostly because of a change in Swedish law in 2005 that expanded the definition of rape (including having sex with someone while they're sleeping) and started counting each instance of sexual violence as a separate attack. Klara Selin, a sociologist at Sweden's National Council for Crime Prevention, explained what this means in a 2012 interview with the BBC:
So, for instance, when a woman comes to the police and she says my husband or my fiance raped me almost every day during the last year, the police have to record each of these events, which might be more than 300 events. In many other countries it would just be one record — one victim, one type of crime, one record.
This expanded definition, together with a growing feminist movement in the country aimed at holding perpetrators accountable, has led to an increase in reported rape after the law's passage. But the underlying rate of attacks likely didn't actually change much.
"The major explanation is partly that people go to the police more often, but also the fact that in 2005 there has been reform in the sex crime legislation, which made the legal definition of rape much wider than before," Selin told the BBC.
So if there had been a huge surge in sexual assault, this would show up in the overall stats given the huge number of immigrants coming into the country and the relatively large number of Swedish women who report being abused. But that has not happened.
"What we're hearing is a very, very extreme exaggeration based on a few isolated events, and the claim that it's related to immigration is more or less not true at all," Jerzy Sarnecki, a criminologist at Stockholm University, told the Globe and Mail's Doug Saunders.
The publicly available data backs up Sarnecki. In 2014, there were 6,700 reported rapes. That figure declined to 5,920 in 2015 and then went back up to 6,560 in 2016 (according to preliminary Swedish government data).
So there's been mass immigration in the past three years from Muslim-majority countries — but the number of reported rapes has remained steady and even declined slightly in 2015.
3) The way Trump got his information is very questionable
Accusations of a crime wave by dark-skinned migrants are, historically, deeply questionable. White people panicking about migrant criminality, particularly stemming from rape or drugs, is a common way that racial panic about immigrant manifests.
So when we're dealing with accusations of rampant criminality by nonwhite immigrants, the burden of proof should be on the people making these accusations. Do they have good evidence that these immigrants are causing a massive crime wave?
The answer, judging by official statistics, is clearly no. This is supercharged in the case of Trump's accusations. His source, Tucker Carlson's guest Ami Horowitz, is in deep hot water over journalistic ethics.
Carlson's segment begins with a clip from Horowitz's most recent film, Stockholm Syndrome. In the clip, two Swedish police officers, Anders Göranzon and Jacob Ekström, sound what appear to be warnings about high levels of criminality by immigrants. But in fact, as the officers told the Swedish publication Dagens Nyheter, they were talking about crime in general, without any specific reference to crime by immigrants.
"We answered a different question. We don't stand behind what he says. He is a madman," Göranzon said on their behalf. "He has edited the answers. We were answering completely different questions in the interview."
Horowitz denies this, telling the Guardian that "the officers are probably under a lot of pressure because of what they said." He could be right; it's hard to know who's telling the truth here unless Horowitz releases the unedited footage.
But this controversy hammers home the bizarreness of Trump's comments. The president of the United States said something clearly inaccurate, which turned out to be based on a Fox News segment filled with faulty references to statistics and a dubiously edited documentary clip.
This is one way the president of the United States gets his information today.

Infrastructure Bill's Broadband Plan Shrouded From Scrutiny
A provision of Congress's $42 billion plan to expand broadband into underserved areas could exempt it from Freedom of Information and Privacy acts

WASHINGTON—Congress is poised to shield a $42 billion broadband grant program from federal transparency and privacy laws, hampering oversight of money expected to flow mostly to telecommunications companies.
In a bid to cut through red tape and speed delivery of the broadband funds, the Senate-passed Infrastructure Investment and JOBS Act includes a provision that suspends certain rules the federal government ordinarily has to follow in administering programs.
But that wording, according to federal court precedent and the Commerce Department, could put the broadband program beyond the reach of the Freedom of Information Act, or FOIA, and the Privacy Act. The two landmark federal open-government laws give the public the right to demand documents or to know how information is being managed within the government.
If passed into law as written, the bill could hide documents from public scrutiny about how the federal government plans to spend billions of dollars to expand broadband access to underserved areas. It could also shield the terms of any agreements between grant recipients and the government from federal disclosure laws.
The roughly $1 trillion infrastructure bill that contains the program has cleared the Senate and is awaiting a vote in the House. Although some moderate Democrats want to pass it swiftly, liberals have held it up until there is a fully fleshed-out agreement over a separate social policy and climate package. The House could opt to remove the provision before final passage.
How should the federal government provide new telecommunications infrastructure to underserved communities? Join the conversation below.
The infrastructure bill, negotiated by a small bipartisan group of senators and their aides behind closed doors, exempts the broadband grant program from the Administrative Procedure Act. That law broadly requires federal agencies to post public notice of certain proposed actions, take comments from the public before making decisions and establish uniform standards for dispute resolution. Both FOIA and the Privacy Act are wholly contained within the Administrative Procedure Act.
The bill's new high-speed internet program puts individual states and territories in charge of running their own grant programs under guidelines set by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration, a unit of the Commerce Department that will dole out the money. Many lawmakers involved in the bill's drafting argued that individual states know better than the federal government where investments are most needed.
Senate aides involved in drafting the broadband provisions couldn't say how the exemption came to be added, but it did spark a brief debate on the Senate floor on whether it should be kept.
Sen. Roger Wicker (R., Miss.), the ranking Republican on the Senate Commerce Committee, offered an unsuccessful amendment to remove the exempting clause, mostly on the grounds that the grant program should face a public-comments process as required by the Administrative Procedure Act.

Sen. Angus King (I., Maine) said removing that exemption would invite lawsuits and bog down the administration of one of the "crown jewels" of the infrastructure plan, citing the states' role as a reason why "the burdensome administrative requirements of the APA are not really necessary."
The implications for transparency, privacy and open government weren't mentioned during the floor debate, and it isn't clear whether the Senate understood the potential consequences.
"This provision means we won't have any federal tools to find out anything about which companies got contracts of any size," said Kel McClanahan, executive director of National Security Counselors, a Washington-area nonprofit public-interest law firm. "'Trust us' is not a viable accountability standard for such an important project that affects millions of Americans."
Mr. McClanahan has been fighting a very similar legal battle for access to documents in an earlier telecom program. Lawmakers inserted a nearly identical exemption from the Administrative Procedure Act into the 2012 bill that created FirstNet, a specialized wireless network for police, firefighters and other public-safety users. The public authority in charge of the project gave AT&T Inc. a 25-year agreement worth billions of dollars to run the network. Then, too, the apparent purpose was to eliminate barriers.
Mr. McClanahan filed suit in 2017 on behalf of activists and journalists who had been rebuffed in numerous requests under the Freedom of Information Act for details about FirstNet. A Vermont federal court affirmed that the clause put the law beyond the reach of federal transparency and privacy laws, and a federal appeals court upheld the ruling.

If the similar exempting clause is retained in the version of the infrastructure investment bill approved by the House and signed by the president, it could still be open to challenge in the courts. Adam Marshall, a senior staff attorney for the Washington-based Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, said the exemption written into the broadband part of the bill covers "any action taken or decision made" by the NTIA administrator, but it doesn't mention documents or records. Members of the press and public could argue that such documents are subject to FOIA even if the agency avoids some of the other red tape associated with federal rule making. Such a challenge could take years to resolve.
Mr. Marshall said many other provisions in the infrastructure bill beyond the broadband section could hide information from public scrutiny, including cybersecurity safeguards, transit research contracts and information about "Native American natural, cultural and historical resources" affected by highway projects, among other items.
"I can't remember another bill that contains so many references to the Freedom of Information Act—references that seem to be trying to exempt information," Mr. Marshall said.
Senate aides involved in the negotiation over the broadband portion of the bill declined to comment or referred questions about the language to the NTIA. An NTIA spokesman declined to comment on the pending legislation.

Any idea? How to resolve this issue?


I have been thinking about all of the things I want to do and share and understand that sometimes there are workshops or classes people are unable to attend, or who would like to have sessions but are unable to due to location or time or financial constraints.
I also want to continue to grow the Silver Daisies community and have a closed and safe support network if anyone wanted to reach out and be able to connect with like minded people.
So I have decided to launch the Silver Daisies subscription service which will include a private group on Facebook and have put together a host of benefits from subscribing.
Regular videos, webinars and mini workshops that you can listen to in your own time and take notes and share your feedback amongst the group if you wish.
Guided meditations that you can listen to when you choose and that will be available at all times once they are posted in the group.
Details of any upcoming retreats and workshops 48 hours before they are launched elsewhere so that you will get FIRST refusal on spaces as many of my retreats sell out almost immediately.
Exclusive tools and techniques for working on self love, the law of attraction, meditation and wellness.
Additionally I will get some fabulous guest speakers in to offer their insight into other subjects and am happy to allow members the opportunity to showcase their holistic or wellness products and services.
The group is 100% about positivity, raising vibration, self care and compassion and I am confident that you will receive the value of your subscription in content alone within the first few weeks of membership.
The group will become active from 8th January 2018 and a 12 month subscription will be £79.99 however if you subscribe before the end of 2017 you will receive your years subscription for the special price of £69.99. That's just over the pricing for just one, one to one session.
To subscribe either click the subscription button which will allow you to subscribe using either paypal or a card.
This will be a SAFE space space for healing and self development.

After the last celebratory toast had been made and the Western College of Veterinary Medicine's Class of 2006 had paid off their grad party expenses, they were faced with a decision: what should they do with the leftover money?
It was a problem that previous graduating classes had solved through donations to the WCVM or to the College's Veterinary Medical Centre. But this time Drs. Chris Bell, Sylvia Carley and Nick Huggons, the students charged with distributing the money, decided to do something different.

Whose has the better roster: Falcons or Patriots?
Coming into the new season, the Patriots and Falcons rosters clearly stand above the rest. That does not mean they will be the final two teams standing, as injuries have a large say in who goes to the Super Bowl, but these are two juggernaut rosters that could even take a bump or two along the way and still find their way to the big game.
Pro Football Focus ranked the Falcons as the best roster coming into the 2017 season, with the Patriots following in second. New England got the last laugh last year, but let's take deeper look at which one of these teams has the best chance at being the last one standing in 2018.
You really could go either way with these two outstanding quarterbacks. Matt Ryan proved last season he is an elite quarterback on the way to his first MVP award and Super Bowl appearance. But there is not a hotter quarterback right now than Tom Brady. Fresh off being immortalized as the greatest quarterback of all time after his Super Bowl comeback over Matt Ryan and the Falcons, it is impossible not to choose Brady here. Though given Brady's age, there might be time we see a passing of the torch from Brady to Ryan in the Super Bowl.
The Patriots have a lot of talented running backs that not many people know about. They dominated throughout the playoffs, but the Falcons have the most talented running back tandem in all of football. Freeman and Coleman can kill teams on the ground or through the air with their terrific ability to run after the catch. Falcons hold an edge here, although it is much smaller than people may think.
Bleacher Report recently did an article on the NFL's best receiving corps, and the Patriots wound up number one on that list. But that list included tight ends. Without tight ends, this position is not close. Julio Jones, Muhammed Sanu, Taylor Gabriel and Justin Hardy form not only one of the most talented receiving corps in the NFL but also one of the deepest. Throw tight ends into the equation and this conversation gets much more interesting, but the Falcons clearly have the better wide receivers.
The Patriots dominate this position not just against the Falcons but against the rest of the NFL teams as well. Rob Gronkowski is as versatile of a weapon in the NFL. His only problem is staying healthy. The Patriots also added Dwayne Allen in a deal with the Colts, so they can feature a number of two tight-end sets that we have come accustomed to when watching the Patriots. The Falcons do not have much firepower at the position. Austin Hooper showed some promise in his rookie season, but he cannot compare to anything the Patriots have here.
The Falcons offensive line was the better unit last season, but they will be without starting guard Chris Chester, who retired over the offseason. Chester could prove to be a huge loss, as the Falcons did not go out and sign anyone to replace him and waited until the fourth round to draft an offensive lineman. Atlanta also benefited from having no injuries to the offensive line over the course of the regular season. The Patriots line bounced back tremendously after struggling in 2015. Both of these teams should have high quality offensive lines, but the Falcons line remains on top now, providing they can find a suitable replacement for Chester.
The Falcons clearly had their tired defense, that could not generate any pass rush in the second half of the Super Bowl, in mind when making moves this offseason. Their biggest free agent was Dontari Poe, who should provide a huge boost against the run and increase the pressure from the interior defensive line. And their first-round draft pick was Takkarist McKinley, a pass rushing defensive end out of UCLA. The Patriots have one of the most stout defensive lines in the league against the run. They are a pass rush by committee team, but that worked for the #1 ranked defense in the league last year. Kony Ealy, who the acquired from the Panthers, should only enhance and already terrific unit, but the Falcons have perhaps the scariest starting front four in all of football. They hold the edge here, but it is close.
With the addition of David Harris from the Jets, the Patriots now have three elite caliber linebackers starting for them. The Falcons on the other had, could have three starters that have a combined five years of experience next season. Deion Jones, De'Vondre Campbell and Duke Riley could be the future of the position, but the Patriots hold a huge edge here.
Initial thoughts may have you believe the Patriots have better cornerbacks, as they were able to not only bring in Stephon Gilmore from Buffalo as a free agent but also hold onto pro-bowler Malcolm Butler for at least this season. Those two make quite a start-studded pair, but the Falcons depth at the position gives them the nod at cornerback. Atlanta will have their own pro-bowl cornerback, Desmond Trufant, return from injury. People will quickly be reminded just how good this guy is. Across from Trufant, lines up Robert Alford, who had the pick-six against Tom Brady in the Super Bowl and has really began to come into his own for Atlanta. But it is guys like Jalen Collins, Brian Poole, and the newly acquired Damanote Kazee that make this Falcons cornerback group so impressive. Collins could start in this league next season, Poole was arguably the best undrafted free agent in all of football last year, and Kazee is already being raved about as an incoming rookie.
Dan Quinn is trying to build is own Legion of Boom in Atlanta. Atlanta's 2016 first-round pick, Keanu Neal, is the perfect enforcer at the back end of the Falcons defense. Do not be surprised to see him in the pro-bowl as early as next season. However, the Patriots have on of the best duos at the back end of their defense. Devin McCourty, a pro-bowler last season, has become one of the best cover safeties around since he transitioned to the position full time in 2014. His partner, Patrick Chung has been a constant face on this defense since 2009. Their seven years of experience with each other counts for something too, and is one of the main reasons this Patriots defense is rarely beat by big plays.
If you were not keeping track, that is five positional groups in favor of the Falcons and four in favor of the Patriots. Many of those are splitting hairs, but I can stand behind Pro Football Focus's evaluation that these are the two most talented rosters in football. But as we all found out last year, there is a lot more to winning football games than just talent on the field. The Patriots have the best coaching staff in NFL history, and Dan Quinn and company are going to have to be sharper on their end if they want to end up Super Bowl champions down the road.

If self-care is an ethical imperative, then resilience is the foundation and one of the goals of self-care. Resilience is the ability to bounce back from adversity. During this webinar, we all will walk ourselves through a four-step resiliency process that will help us build our daily and long-term resilience. We will be discovering where in the cycle we tend to get stuck and then how to move through the cycle with more awareness. Self-awareness is key to moving from stuck to unstuck. And yay, to the power of resilience.

When a request gets sent to G7470 Programming, what is the process that the request goes through from start to completion?
When it comes to completing any kind of project, one of the best things that you can do is to create a project plan!
Designing a project is not the easiest task. This is a big step in taking that vision in your head and putting this vision into reality. The vision must be able to be put down on paper so that this vision can be realized.
Development is an essential part of the project process. Having a design is nice, but the design cannot make you a fully completed product! Here at G7470 Programming, we take great pride in making sure that you have the cleanest and best experience as possible during this time.
Code delivery is quite important. This phase of the project is the transition from G7470 Programming's environment to your own environment, provided that we are not developing in your environment from the beginning.
Once everything has been delivered, tested, and launched, G7470 Programming is unique in that it will provide support to bugs and assistance to you the client. We are determined to make sure our clients are comfortable with their completed project as well as make sure that they can expand it.

In the United States, many complex laws govern railroad operations. Nevertheless, these laws require railroads to follow the specific standards of conduct for safe operation and control of the locomotive in order to protect everyone on board. The general rule for railroad companies is to observe the highest degree of vigilance, diligence and care while transporting the passengers to the appropriate designation.
Train accidents often cause catastrophic damages, life-debilitating injuries and heavy financial losses. Therefore, the passengers have the right to know about the risk and dangers that exist in transport and that are known to the carrier. If a passenger's personal injuries were sustained due to the non-compliance with federal and/or state safety laws, the carrier may have liability and may have to provide the highest possible compensation to everyone who got hurt.
If a fare paying passenger believes he or she sustained personal injuries due to a transportation hazard or carrier risk, the burden of proof shifts to the carrier in order to prove that those injuries were not a direct result of the negligence or recklessness of the carrier.
If a personal injury or a wrongful death is caused by a train accident, contact experienced accident lawyer Jami S. Oliver at 614-220-9100.
Oliver Law Office can help you determine if the fault lies on the railroad company. If you believe you have a claim, don't wait until the statute of limitations has run out before filing a lawsuit. Schedule a consultation right now so you can get the best chance of maximum recovery for the accident injuries you have sustained. Call 614-220-9100 to schedule an appointment.

Trade with Australia and New Zealand: negotiating directives made public
From left to right: Mr Miguel Arias CANETE, European Commissioner for Climate Action and Energy; Mr Neno DIMOV, Bulgarian Minister for the Environment and Water.
Photo: European Union
On 25 June, the Council decided to publish the mandates given to the Commission on 22 May to negotiate trade agreements with Australia and New Zealand.
Trade agreements with both countries would aim primarily at further reducing existing barriers to trade, removing custom duties on goods, and giving better access for services and public procurement in Australia and New Zealand. The sectors likely to benefit the most from the FTAs are motor equipment, machinery, chemicals, processed foods and services.
The negotiating directives are particularly concerned to protect vulnerable sectors such as agriculture by maximising the benefits of market opening without harming local producers. The mandates do not envisage full liberalisation of trade in agricultural products, which are foreseen as benefiting from specific treatment.

Alright enough of the Math and lets catch up a little bit! Assuming that most of you guys have been more disciplined than I have been this past year, I shall begin my rant by saying that "I am back, people!". I upped my fitness game this time around. 2009 sculpted my body into the best shape I could ever have. Disaster struck and 2010 undid 2009! But guess what 2011 is going to put me back where I was and even higher this time. So what is different that I am doing this time around? Nothing! For all you procrastinators out there, there is no magic potion or mantra to physical fitness. "Get back on the damn treadmill to lose those muffin tops!" is what you have to do. There is no way around it. Sweat and hard-work is the only answer.

Three Canadians picked in first round of MLS SuperDraft
Canadian forward Tani Oluwaseyi, from Mississauga, Ont., is shown playing for the St. John's Red Storm at Belson Stadium in Queens, N.Y., in a Feb. 15, 2021, handout image. THE CANADIAN PRESS/HO-St. John's Athletics)
Sportsnet Staff | @Sportsnet January 11, 2022, 3:14 PM
Sportsnet Staff @Sportsnet January 11, 2022, 3:14 PM
Canadians Tani Oluwaseyi, O'Vonte Mullings and Mo Omar went in the first round of the MLS SuperDraft on Tuesday.
Oluwaseyi, a forward from St. John's University, was taken 17th overall by Minnesota United while Mullings, a forward from Florida Gulf Coast University, went 20th to the New York Red Bulls and Omar, a defensive midfielder from Notre Dame, was selected 23rd by the Colorado Rapids.
Expansion Charlotte FC, the league's 28th team, used the first pick to take Maryland sophomore Ben Bender, the Big Ten Midfielder of the Year in 2021.
Toronto FC traded away its third overall pick on Monday.
CF Montreal, after trading down, took Utah Valley University winger Jojea Kwizera with the 15th overall pick. Vancouver then chose Saint Louis University forward Simon Becher with the 16th pick.
Kwizera, a native of the Democratic Republic of the Congo who went to high school in Utah, played two seasons at USU Eastern in Price, Utah, before switching to Utah Valley. He had three goals and eight assists in 14 games last year.
Becher, a first team all-American and Atlantic 10 Conference Offensive Player of the Year, scored 21 goals and added 13 assists in 46 career games for Saint Louis University. He was the fourth member of the Billikens to go in the first round.
Oluwaseyi was the first Canadian taken with former Canadian international Mark Watson, Minnesota's technical director, calling out his name in the virtual draft.
The 21-year-old from Mississauga, Ont., has seen limited action since the 2019 season due to the pandemic and knee surgery. But in 2019 as a sophomore, Oluwaseyi became the first Red Storm player since 1996 to win Big East Offensive Player of the Year honours after scoring 11 goals and adding five assists, His 11 goals were the most by a St. John's player since 2003.
The six-foot-two 170 pounder underwent surgery after dislocating his left kneecap last June while playing for Manhattan SC in USL League Two. He returned to action in the fall, but pulled the plug after two games to give the knee a little more time.
The Red Bulls traded to get Mullings, sending US$75,000 in general allocation money and a second-round pick (43rd overall) to Seattle to get the Toronto native.
Mullings, who led Florida Gulf Coast with seven goals last season, ranks second all-time in FGCU history with 28 goals and 63 points in 57 games.
Named Notre Dame's co-captain last August, Omar played 69 games for the Fighting Irish, including 55 starts. He started 23 games last season, with four goals and one assist.
Prior to Notre Dame, the six-foot-three Toronto native played at Berkshire School in Massachusetts which also helped produce Toronto FC's Jacob Shaffelburg and Ifunanyachi Achara. Omar also spent time with the Toronto FC academy, playing for Toronto FC III.
The first five picks of the virtual draft were all members of the Generation Adidas class _ collegiate underclassmen signed by the league whose salaries will not count against their team's salary cap budget.
Recent Canadian Generation Adidas players include Tajon Buchanan (taken ninth on the 2019 draft) and Richie Laryea (seventh, 2016). Both have now left their MLS clubs for Europe with Buchanan at Belgium's Club Brugge and Laryea at England's Nottingham Forest.
Bender is the 50th Maryland player taken in the history of the MLS SuperDraft _ and the third to go first overall following Maurice Edu (taken by Toronto FC in 2007) and Leo Cullen (1998).
The first-team all-American had seven goals and five assists in 18 games last season for the Terrapins.
FC Cincinnati, which gave up a league-worst 74 goals last season, used the second pick on Indiana junior goalkeeper Roman Celentano. The six-foot-three Hoosier is the first player in Big Ten history to win the conference's Goalkeeper of the Year award multiple times (2020-21 and 2021).
FC Dallas, with the third overall pick acquired from Toronto, took St. Louis University freshman winger Isaiah Parker who was named to the Atlantic 10 All-Rookie team in 2021.
Toronto traded the pick Monday in a salary dump that sent veteran forward Dom Dwyer and the draft pick for $50,000 in general allocation money. Dallas promptly bought out Dwyer's contract and waived him.
Canadian Pat Onstad, the new GM of the Houston Dynamo, took Duke sophomore forward Thor Ulfarsson with the fourth pick. The native of Iceland was the 2021 ACC Offensive Player of the Year with 15 goals.
Austin FC completed the top five by selecting Saint Louis University centre back Kipp Keller, the 2021 Atlantic 10 Conference Defensive Player of the Year.
CF Montreal traded down in a three-way deal with the New York Red Bulls and Chicago Fire.
The trade saw Montreal drop to No. 15 from No. 11 while gaining $100,000 in general allocation money from the Red Bulls. New York then sent the 11th pick and $100,000 in GAM to Chicago, using the Fire's seventh overall pick to select six-foot-eight defender Matthew Nocita from the U.S. Naval Academy.
The three remaining Generation Adidas players went before the 20th pick: Stanford junior forward Ousseni Bouda (San Jose, eighth), Saint Louis University junior goalkeeper Patrick Schulte (Columbus, 12th) and University of the Pacific freshman defender Eric Centeno (Atlanta, 19th).

DARTMOUTH, Mass. – The Castleton University men's basketball team used its up-tempo style and full-court pressure to bother Curry College, forcing 31 turnovers as the Spartans defeated the Colonels, 101-74, Friday evening in the first round of the Hampton Inn Classic, hosted by UMass-Dartmouth at the Tripp Athletic Center.
Jordan Nelson once again led the Spartans in scoring with 15 points, plus he collected five rebounds, two assists, and two steals. Pavin Parrish finished with 12 points, six rebounds, three assists, and two steals, and Denis LeCours shot 5-of-7 from the field as he scored 12 points, plus he dished out a team-high four assists.
The Spartans jumped on the board quickly, scoring the first eight points of the game and then extending their lead to 22-8 on a three-pointer by Chris O'Brien. Curry closed to within nine at 27-18 on a dunk by Nick George, but Castleton increased the lead back into double digits, scoring five points in the final minute of the first half on a three-pointer by Nelson and a layup by LeCours off an assist from Nelson.
Castleton put the game away in the second half thanks to a 19-0 scoring run over the span of six minutes, capped by a three-pointer from LeCours. After Curry broke that string, the Spartans scored nine more unanswered points, led by Taurian Archie with five points.
Curry (0-1) put together a 10-0 scoring run that was stopped by a three-pointer from Richard Walker. Louis Stein hit three three-pointers down the stretch to bring the Colonels closer, but the margin was too big for Curry to overcome.
Castleton head coach Paul Culpo was able to play all 19 players on the active roster, with 16 of them scoring points and no one on the floor for more than 17 minutes. As a team, the Spartans shot 45.8 percent (38-for-83) from the field, including 11-for-42 from behind the three-point line, and 70 percent (14-for-20) from the free throw line.
Jared Thorpe-Johnson shot 7-for-11 from the field to lead the Colonels with 15 points, with Stein scoring 11 points and Jeff Card contributing 10 points. Curry did hit 57.4 percent (27-for-47) of its field goal attempts, including 10-for-15 from behind the three-point arc, but the Colonels converted only 50 percent (10-for-20) of their free throw chances.
The Spartans scored 32 points off the 31 Curry turnovers, plus they pulled down 28 offensive rebounds, more than the Colonels' 27 total rebounds, leading to 22 second chance points. The 27-point win is the largest for Castleton since a 98-71 victory over Maine-Farmington on Dec. 4, 2015.
Castleton (1-1) will face UMass-Dartmouth in the tournament title game Saturday, Nov. 18, scheduled for a 7 p.m. tipoff.


Everyone has different ideas on how to manage their house and make it better. While all these ideas sound wonderful and look perfect in your head, they are not all practical. When you own a house, you need to keep in mind the more important things like managing the space.
Space management can prove to be tougher than what most people initially think. An empty house may seem like the biggest area but once you start filling it up there is no room left to even breathe. Here are some tips to make your house more spacious.
Before you start thinking on your own accord, just follow an example of a place which includes proper setting yet gives you enough space to make your house look good. You can take such an example from here. Hostels and hotels, especially in Europe, provide comfort to the travelers and also give them a homely feeling. When you explore the places you will find that the hostel contains everything that you need yet it does not feel overdone. Everything is just adequate for a nice stay.
This can be your inspiration for setting your house. Think of the ways hotels in Europe decorate their kitchens or set up their bedrooms. The equipment and utensils are all present neatly in drawers so as to avoid chaos on the counters. The counters only contain one or two items which the users need more than once in a day. When you are following an example you do not even have to spend a lot of time experimenting as you already have a set pattern to copy and make the best out of it.
Most people go wrong with houses and spaces when they are designing the furniture or buying the sofas etc. from the market. The furniture takes up the most space in your house. Whether this is in the sitting room or the different rooms that you have made, you must be very careful when you are designing the furniture. The thing to note here is that the furniture must complement the room structure.
If the room is a rectangle, long thin sitting items would be preferable. They will not seem too crowded in the room. If the room is square you can easily go with box-shaped items as they will fit in perfectly. Furthermore, they will give the room a wholesome feel. For lounges always stick to what is necessary. If you do not require three sofas, do not add three sofas. Depending on the number of people who will use the house, pick the necessary things only.
To have a more spacious house just keep things inside. Numerous times we have observed that people tend to keep their cupboards empty and dump most things outside. This is especially true for kitchens. When you have so much storage space, you need to use it wisely and smartly. There is no way that your things will not fit in.
Everything is made to cater to these little things. You can also buy separators and other useful items which help to keep the cupboards, and wardrobes organized and manageable. When things are lying around purposelessly, your house will look small and there might be not enough space. Remember, simplicity is the best.

Welcome to my week long project of working on what I'd like to call compulsive phone addiction. What kind of therapist would I be if I didn't practice what I teach?
The background: A year ago I decided to join the revolution that is smart phones. Before that I had an old, Samsung flip phone that could text. Slowly. And was able to make calls. That's it. No apps, no Facebook, no Twitter, no WordPress, no mobile hotspot, no Gmail. I know, hard to believe. I should have kept it as a relic, soon those phone will be worth a lot of money simply for their historical value.
So one day, I decided to do it. Smart phones here I come! I mean everybody was doing it. All you saw was groups of friends all sitting together all on their phones. And I remember precisely at what point it became quite normal to ask "What phone do you have?" after saying "Hello". And it got me thinking. What is happening inside this little device that is so important we can't miss a second of it? Is compulsive phone checking really necessary for our survival? How can someone get so strongly attached to an object? Or is it really the object we're attached to? What other material things become a part of who we are? Why?
To answer some of these questions I decided to conduct a week long experiment and blog about my findings.
Day one: Detox. Or a failed attempt.
Today is the day I leave my phone behind. I thought about this while getting ready for work. How will I do it? Will IT notice I'm gone? Will IT be sad or disappointed? Will IT miss me like I miss IT? I will just pretend I forgot it and silently sneak out on IT. No big deal. I just forgot it. It happens, right? But what if I need it? I mean, I am a new driver, what if I get in an accident? What if my car breaks down and I need to call for help? What if there is a major catastrophe and I can't get home? Because you know, the day you leave your phone at home is the day everything you ever feared will actually happen! After all, IT is my lifeline. What if a client calls? What if my mom calls? Really, think about this. No email, no Facebook, no random flicker photos as your wallpaper, no blog feeds, no tweets . I don't think I can do this.
But I have to. I'll just…casually forget it.
So I do. I leave it behind. Lock the door. Done. I feel accomplished already. See, that was easy. While I'm driving, I reach into my purse to check my phone like I usually do (although as a new driver I'm forbidden to). I'm surprised it's not there. This is strange. I feel like a part of me is missing. How absurd! I don't know how I'm going to get through the day. Nothing extraordinary will happen today. I can already predict what will happen in this historic day. Most likely, I will get home and give myself permission to finally check my phone for the first time today and I will have no missed calls, no messages and no notifications so important I shouldn't have missed them. This reassures me.
I get to work and I'm already settled for the day. I already feel a little lighter. I go in the kitchen and make myself some delicious coffee. I'm ready to conquer the day, phone free! As I approach my desk, I see it. There it is! My dear little phone, sitting quietly on my desk, it's little notification light blinking happily with anticipation. And it looks victorious. My phone FOLLOWED me!!!
And just like that my first attempt failed, my dream of a new start crushed. I'm oddly comforted. Tomorrow I'll try again. But meanwhile, my dear phone, come to me! I missed you!
Previous Sober Check. Now what?
Do not leave your phone at home. There could be an emergency, duh. Whether you be involved or I be involved, or someone else. If you need to get rid of your internet you know you can manually turn off your phone only to cell service. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. Your phone was screaming, she forgot me, she forgot me. Then, it jumped in my pocket just in time to be delivered to its mama.
