Dr. Romina Mizrahi
Dr. Romina Mizrahi is the Head of the Focus on Youth Psychosis Prevention (FYPP) Clinic and research program, Head of the Psychosis PET program in the Research Imaging Centre and Clinician Scientist in the Campbell Family Mental Health Research Institute at CAMH. Dr. Mizrahi is an Associate Professor in Psychiatry at the University of Toronto (U of T), a full Member of the Institute of Medical Science (IMS) at U of T and a full Graduate Faculty Member in the Pharmacology & Toxicology Department at U of T. She received her MD (1998) from the University of Buenos Aires and PhD (2007) from IMS.
Dr. Mizrahi's research focuses on developing a better understanding of how the brain functions in-vivo. Specifically, it focuses on the pathophysiology of the early course of schizophrenia and its treatment and of those at high risk of developing psychosis. In pursuit of this goal, her lab uses phenomenology, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and positron emission tomography (PET). Dr. Mizrahi's ultimate goal is to prevent schizophrenia in those at risk.
She has received funding from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) and the Ontario Mental Health Foundation (OMHF) to study dopamine using positron emission tomography (PET) in early psychosis and in those at risk for the disease. She also leads a new line of research to use a new F-18 radioligand to image neuroinflammation in-vivo and was in charge of translating this radioligand from the bench to the bedside at CAMH. This novel line of research received support of the Scottish Rite Charitable Foundation, the Alzheimer Society of Canada and the Brain and Behavior Research Foundation to carry out the first human experiments. Using this new radioligand, her lab is currently investigating neuroinflammation in schizophrenia, clinical high risk for psychosis, Alzheimer's disease and mild cognitive impairment. Dr. Mizrahi has recently been awarded a $1.6-million grant from the National Institutes of Mental Health (NIMH, US) to follow up on her neuroinflammation work. Dr. Mizrahi has also just started the first human imaging studies of endocannabinoid metabolism in schizophrenia and clinical high risk for psychosis. This work has received initial funding from the Brain and Behavior Research Foundation (US) and NIMH (US).

So I'm on to Plan G (I believe) with my major holiday craft project. It seemed simple and elegant; it is now gargantuan, pollution-emitting and, to be frank, slightly dangerous.
The "Rock Men" have been very helpful. They, for instance, inspired my very special hand-crafted water bath made from a piece of laminate flooring. Nonetheless, I've broken TWO MORE diamond drill bits (at least this time the didn't go flying into the air or put me in danger of putting out an eye). I went to replace them, and the "Rock Men" very sweetly told me that one needs to be patient and I was PERHAPS bearing down too hard with my Dremel® tool. Well, in truth, they are more frank than that; they said, "You're pushin' too hard." They then suggested an alternative to suddenly magically assuming the patience of Job. One of the "Rock Men" even showed me how to do it. It looked straightforward, I have the tools, I thought Plan F was well on its way. Nope. I now have ruined approximately two yards of REAL "half-round" silver wire (priced by the GRAM, for crying out loud).
So please, pretty PLEASE, wish me luck with Plan G. It's a little sticky, but at least no one will sustain second or third degree burns from it.
Oh, the frustration, Kate! Which is why I don't bake my own bread, even!
I'm in town, Kate, staying at my sister Gerry's, and I hope to have a visit with you after Christmas — I don't leave until New Year's Eve.
Warm memories of Christmas at your place — I still use the bedside pad of paper and the little gold book marks your mother gave. And your last year gift of Dylan Thomas's "Child's Christmas" came readily to hand!


Remember that New Year's Resolution to model a healthy, active lifestyle for your kids? GeneseeCountryVillage and Museum makes it easy with two family-friendly outdoor events on Sunday, January 7.
During "Skiing in the Village," from 1 to 4 p.m., your family can cross-country ski, snowshoe, or hike along many of the streets in the 19th-century village. Although the historic buildings are closed for the winter, the broad range of architectural styles can be more readily appreciated minus the distractions of foliage and large crowds. This event will not be cancelled for a lack of snow. It just means everyone will be walking, in the time-honored 19th-century tradition.
"Buds & Bark" is a short hike appropriate for ages 6 and up, beginning at 2 p.m. at GeneseeCountryMuseum's NatureCenter. Over the course of 60 to 90 minutes, a naturalist will teach participants how to identify trees including hickory, oak, and maple by examining buds, bark, and twigs. You can tell you're someplace old-timey when they're using the mnemonic device "madcap horse" to teach you stuff. Roy G. Biv better look out or he'll get trampled.
Adult admission for either program is $4, kids 4 to 16 are $3. It's free for kids 3 and under and for museum members. Ski rental is $10, snow shoes are $5. Rentals available on a first-come, first-served basis.GeneseeCountryVillage is located at 1410 Flint Hill Road in Mumford. Visit www.gcv.org or call 538-6822.

Student committee hears arts and sciences, engineering fee increase proposals
By Rafael Garcia
The Tuition and Fees Strategies Committee heard fee proposals Tuesday evening from the College of Arts and Sciences dean Amit Chakrabarti, and the College of Engineering dean Darren Dawson and senior associate dean Darren Clark.
For the College of Arts and Sciences, Chakrabarti proposed a fee increase of $10 from the current $16.70 students pay per credit hour. The proposed increase would generate an additional projected $2.8 million in revenue for the college, Chakrabarti said.
Chakrabarti said the current $16.70 per-credit-hour fee breaks down into three categories: $6.70 to support student research and travel, provide instructional equipment and supplies and replace and upgrade technology; $6.80 to provide stipends at the national average for graduate teaching assistants; and $3.20 to hire and retain professional, degree-specific advisers.
"We talked about how that fee would enhance the College of Arts and Sciences experience for their students, maintain their current class sizes and open up faculty lines that are needed in order to deal with the budget cuts that were made by the state," said Trenton Kennedy, junior in entrepreneurship and student body vice president.
The College of Engineering proposed a sliding fee increase between $25 and $38. Currently, engineering students pay $65 per credit hour in a faculty surcharge fee and $19 per credit hour in equipment fees.
Dawson said an increase in the fee per credit-hour at the College of Engineering is necessary and if an increase is not passed, such programs as the Academic Success Center, creative inquiry design teams and undergraduate research could face significant reductions in funding.
The college also risks losing accreditation next year, if accreditors from the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology are dissatisfied with what they observe at the college when they visit next semester.
Dawson said the increased cost of attendance at the College of Engineering has not affected students from underrepresented areas.

Q: Need "Days since X Date" to not change once that cell is used I'm creating a gradebook for teachers. I have a column tracking how many days have elapsed since the due date, as many schools take off points for each day an assignment is late. I have that formula set, but I realized that as today's date progresses, the "number of days late" will increase and will continue to change the final score for the student - even after they've turned in the assignment.
I'm hoping someone can help me devise a way to make that counter stop once a value is put in for "raw score" which would mean that the student turned it in. Or have an idea to circumnavigate this issue altogether!
Recap and image description: Below is my rough draft with the main formula I'm using. The second IF clause where it states "F3-(E3*2)" is where I'm putting most of my attention: E3 is the number of days that have elapsed since the due date and thus needs to not be fluid. (https://i.stack.imgur.com/mUQ6m.png)
I feel like this is a similar question Excel: Help to find # of days between Start Date and Today if Stop Date cell is populated or not but I don't understand it enough to adjust and implement it myself.

Add Sunlighten Sauna Sessions to Your Massage in Leesburg, VA!
If you love treating yourself to a massage in Leesburg, VA, then we have some amazing news. No need to go elsewhere to get you sauna fix — Awakenings Spa Boutique is now offering Sunlighten Sauna sessions!
At Awakenings Spa Boutique, we always want the best for you. That's why we chose only the finest sauna available to complement our massage services.
Adding a Sunlighten sauna session to your favorite massage magnifies the relaxation and health benefits you experience.
Even on its own, however, spending time inside a sauna improves well-being in many ways.
If you're trying to lose weight, it's a great idea to add a sauna session to your fitness routine. Thanks to the intense heat, a Leesburg spa sauna gives you the same benefits as moderate exercises like jogging. Studies have also found that you can burn as much as 600 calories just by relaxing inside a sauna.
Whether you're suffering from chronic conditions like fibromyalgia, or simply want to ease the pain of stiff muscles, you'll enjoy the natural pain relief that infrared saunas offer.
Infrared heat can penetrate joints, tissues, and muscles for up to two inches. This loosens up knots, muscle spasms, and reduces soreness on nerve endings. In fact, many pain management professionals and doctors recommend Sunlighten saunas to help patients get relief from arthritis, chronic fatigue syndrome, sports injuries, and more.
You're not just flushing out water when you sweat profusely inside a sauna. Infrared heat makes your core temperature rise. This leads to detoxifying sweat at the cellular level, flushing out toxins and other unwanted substances in the body.
When you sweat inside an infrared sauna, you will experience reduced diastolic and systolic blood pressure. This is key to maintaining good heart health.
Along with lower blood pressure, infrared saunas also trigger increased blood circulation. This allows the blood to deliver nutrients and oxygen efficiently to every part of your body so that all your systems run smoothly.
Struggling with break-outs? Complement your beauty routine with a trip to the sauna. The near-infrared wavelengths of an infrared sauna heal the dermis and epidermis layers of the skin. It also stimulates the production of collagen, one of the most important factors of a youthful, clear complexion.
Whether you're a long-time fan of saunas or just starting to discover its benefits, spas in Leesburg are a wonderful place to pamper yourself. Sauna sessions perfectly complement our massage, facial, and skin therapies here at Awakenings Spa Boutique.

The 2002 National Survey of Pedestrian and Bicyclist Attitudes and Behaviors was jointly sponsored by the U.S. Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) and administered by The Gallup Organization.
The goals of the survey were to ascertain the scope and magnitude of bicycle and pedestrian activity and the public's behavior and attitudes regarding bicycling and walking. This national survey is the first of its kind designed specifically to benchmark bicycle and pedestrian trips, behaviors, and attitudes. The survey findings will serve as a foundation to improve the environment and infrastructure to support these two transportation modes.

Government borrowing
January surplus of £4.7bn smallest in four years
Government's finances weaker than expected for month in which it usually receives more than it borrows because of tax receipts

The chancellor, George Osborne, will have no room for major tax or spending give-aways in next month's budget after figures showed a smaller than expected tax windfall in January.
The latest data from the Office for National Statistics showed that the UK is on course to meet its full-year borrowing targets but left the chancellor with minimal margin for error.
showed full-year borrowing is on course to just about meet the Treasury's official forecast.
A January surplus of £4.7bn was much lower than the £8.1bn forecast by economists and smaller than the £6bn recorded in the same month last year.
The start of the year is typically a bumper month for the public purse thanks to a glut of income tax and corporation tax payments, but last month showed the lowest January surplus in four years.
Government coffers were hit by lower receipts from income and wealth taxes despite a broader economic recovery and falling unemployment. Corporation tax receipts were also lower than last year, after a sharp fall in receipts from oil and gas companies due to a decline in North Sea production.
Economists described the last set of borrowing figures to be published before the budget on 19 March as disappointing. They said the chancellor now had a limited chance of significantly undershooting the Office for Budget Responsibility's forecast for £111.2bn of full-year borrowing, limiting his ability to woo the electorate by announcing big giveaways ahead of the 2015 general election.
John Hawksworth, chief economist at accounting group PwC, said: "This reinforces the message that there is still a long way to go to put the public finances back on a sound footing, and is likely to imply a relatively cautious approach by the chancellor in the budget.
"As he made clear in the autumn statement [in December], there are still many years of fiscal austerity to come and little room for pre-election giveaways."
Government borrowing totalled £90.7bn in the first 10 months of the 2013-14 fiscal year. Responding to the borrowing figures, Labour said George Osborne was set to break his promise to "balance the books" by 2015-16, made when the coalition came to power.
"This is the cost of the three damaging years of flatlining and falling living standards we have seen since the election," said Chris Leslie, the shadow chief secretary to the Treasury.
January is typically a bumper month for the public purse, as a result of income tax and corporation tax payments. Last month however the government coffers were hit by lower receipts compared with a year earlier, mainly from income and wealth taxes despite broader economic recovery and falling unemployment.
Corporation tax receipts were also lower than last year, after a sharp fall in receipts from oil and gas companies amid a decline in North Sea production.
A spokesman for the Treasury said: "The government's long-term economic plan is working. The deficit has fallen by a third. But as today's figures show, the job is not done and the biggest risk to the recovery would be abandoning the plan that is boosting economic security for Britain's hard-working people."
Andrew Goodwin, a senior economic adviser to economic forecasters the EY Item Club, said the weakness in income tax seemed to reflect very low receipts from self-assessment forms, with payments possibly delayed until February.
"Given that a sizeable chunk of the revenue comes in after the self-assessment deadline, it is quite possible that this weakness will reverse next month, but this does send us into the budget on a somewhat downbeat note," he said.
There was mixed news for the chancellor in further official data that showed January retail sales fell more than expected on the previous month but were still up on the same period a year ago.
Economists said consumer spending was still likely to deliver a sizeable boost to the economy in the first quarter, with the outlook for retail sales benefiting from rising employment and easing inflation.
The Office for National Statistics said retail sales fell 1.5% in January compared with December, the biggest drop since April 2012. A slowdown had been expected after a strong Christmas.
Retail sales were still up 4.3% on 2013 as analysts said the overall picture was relatively buoyant. "The underlying trend in the data suggests that a brightening mood among UK households is translating into higher consumer spending," said Chris Williamson from data specialists Markit.

Houston County Board of Education Supports Teachers and Distance Learners with RingCentral
BELMONT, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- RingCentral, Inc. (NYSE:RNG), a leading provider of global enterprise cloud communications, video meetings, collaboration, and contact center solutions, today announced that Houston County Board of Education is utilizing RingCentral to create a district-wide support center for its teachers and distance learners. The Houston County School District, which educates 30,000 K-12 students across 37 campuses, uses RingCentral's cloud-based communications solution to enable the district's small but nimble team to categorize, manage and field enquiries from staff and students who were experiencing difficulty with their digital homeschooling set-up.
Houston County Board had to solve the same unique challenge that faced schools all over the world: how to address growing concerns from parents and students about how to deal with technical issues on top of moving to education from home. The district began receiving large volumes of technical support calls from families and teachers and realized that most calls fell into a few standard categories. These included questions about online learning platforms, challenges students were experiencing with their laptops, and login or account problems.
Fortunately, Houston County Board, who had already deployed RingCentral's cloud-based communications solution, were able to rapidly set up a technical support center to manage incoming inquiries in under an hour.
"During the pandemic, when the county went into lockdown and we were all working remotely, it was tremendously beneficial to be able to quickly create call groups to manage common issues and get them fixed," said Brian Trent, director of Technology for the Houston County Board of Education. "The benefits of having RingCentral went beyond our makeshift support center. The SMS text feature using the school's numbers, meant a teacher or administrator who couldn't take a parent's call could still respond via SMS text."
"We all know that 2020 was a tough year for teachers, students and parents transitioning to remote learning," said Nat Natarajan, executive vice president of Products and Engineering at RingCentral. "It's great to see a customer use RingCentral in an innovative way like Houston County Board has to help ease through a difficult transition."
For more information on how Houston County Board implemented RingCentral's solution, view the case study.

The National Association of Army Nurses of the Civil War or National Army Nurses was an organization of former nurses who served in the American Civil War. It was primarily a social organization, but it also advocated for, and helped to secure, recognition and benefits for nurses who had served in the war.

Background
Over 3,000 middle-class white women served as paid or volunteer nurses during the Civil War, working under the charge of Superintendent of Army Nurses Dorothea Dix. Many of them had no prior medical training. They learned on the job through hard experience, while being exposed to the dangers of the battlefield. Often they were greeted with hostility by the male army surgeons. After the war, these women often received no official government recognition or pension for their services.

History
The organization was established by Dorothea Dix on June 18, 1881 as the "Ex-Nurse's Association of the District of Columbia." It was a social organization, but also advocated for recognition and benefits for members. The society worked to aid members in seeking employment, to care for them during illness, and to promote the honor of the Union.

Dix was elected president of the organization for life. The group met each year in Washington DC, and soon started meeting during the National Encampments (reunions of Civil War veterans) held most years by the Grand Army of the Republic. The group met in during the G.A.R. encampment of 1888. The group met annually.

At the Encampment of 1892, the group attracted 35 members from all across the United States. Therefore, the group's name was changed to the National Association of Army Nurses of the Late War.

No meetings were held for two years, but the roup re-instituted for a national meeting in Louisville, Kentucky on September 13, 1895. In 1897, the group, then known as the National Army Nurses Association, convened in Buffalo at their headquarters at the Women's Christian Association Building.  There were about 500 members.

Association members also came together for the annual G.A.R. encampment of 1899, which was held in Philadelphia. The officers that year were: Elizabeth W. Ewing of Phoenixville, Pennsylvania, president; Kate M. Scott of Brookville, Pennsylvania, secretary; Elizabeth Chapman of St. Louis, Missouri, senior vice president; Della A. Fay of Upper Jay, New York, junior vice president; Jeannette M. Morrill of Santon, Michigan, chaplain; Lydia L. Whiteman of Philadelphia, treasurer; Susanna Kripps of Philadelphia, press correspondent; Emily E. Woodley of Philadelphia, councillor; Mary Aston of Philadelphia, financial secretary; Fanny Titus Hazen of Cambridge, Massachusetts, installing officer; and Julia Magill of Florence, New Jersey, guard. All were reported by local newspapers as planning to attend that year's encampment.

By 1901, the name was changed to National Association of Army Nurses of the Civil War to distinguish it from the Spanish–American War.

The organization disbanded in September 1931, when only five members were still living.

Membership

Membership was open to applicants who had served at least three months as a paid or volunteer nurse during the Civil War. Documentation was required, and applications needed approval by the local Grand Army of the Republic post.

An 1897 article listed some members of the organization: Dorothea Dix, Harriet P. Dame, Annie Wittanmyer, Nansy Biser, Susan Edson and Caroline Burghardt, Clara Barton, "Mother" Bickerdyke, Mary A. Livermore, and Mary S. Gist. Officers of the organization in 1897 consisted of Emily E. Woodley of Philadelphia (President); Elizabeth W. Ewing of Phoenixvile, PA; Elizabeth Chapman of East St. Louis; Sarah K. Clark of Winona, Minn; Hannah L. Palmer of Canastota, NY; Lydia L. Whiteman of Philadelphia; Mary A. Aston of Philadelphia; Addie L. Ballors of San Francisco; Miss Hancock of Philadelphia; and Mrs. Kripp of Philadelphia.

Benefits
Chief among the achievements of this association were the efforts of its leaders to secure recognition and benefits for the women who had served as nurses during the American Civil War.

Pensions:
In 1892, Congress passed a law which allowed for a pension of $12 per month for all nurses who had been hired and paid by the Government. However, most volunteer nurses still were not awarded pensions, at least as of 1910.

National cemetery privileges:
Members (and in fact all nurses of the Civil War), were entitled to burial in National Cemeteries.

Presidents
National Presidents of the Association included many of the well-known nurses of the Civil War:
 Dorothea Dix 1881-1887
 Dr. Susan Ann Edson 1887-?, one of the first women doctors in the United States, and personal physician to President Garfield

FACULTY PROFILE Talk to those who have attended Illinois State and you will discover faculty members are consis- tently identified as one of the University's most treasured resources. The reason is a commitment faculty make to provide students personal atten- tion that is truly unique at an institution as large as Illinois State. The vast majority of Illinois State's 829 full- time and 274 part-time faculty members hold the highest degrees in their field. Numerous Illinois State faculty have been selected as Fulbright scholars, and many others hold leadership posi- tions in professional organizations and societies.


The John Holmes Collection, housed within the CIGI Campus Library, began as the institutional library of the Canadian Institute of International Affairs (CIIA) in 1928. Its namesake, Canadian diplomat, teacher, administrator and scholar John Wendell Holmes, was instrumental in developing it into an unmatched specialized collection on Canadian foreign policy. The collection moved to CIGI in 2007, where it is now available for use by CIGI staff and faculty and students of the Balsillie School of International Affairs.
The collection holds more than 7,000 monograph items, including a large number of rare newsletters and pamphlets dating back to the early years of its establishment. New publications on Canadian foreign policy, global economy, global security, international law, energy and environment and global development are added regularly.
The CIGI Campus Library also subscribes to a number of international relations periodicals.


– presentation at the IEF 2015 - ELCOM, a.s.
The Brno International engineering trade fair has been the most important industrial trade fair in Central Europe for almost 60 years and a unique place for tens of thousands of engineers to meet from around the world. It's a place for showing the latest developments and the future of the industry. This 57th year of the fair was attended not only by hundreds of companies from 32 countries around the world, but also by a number of specialists, important guests and top politicians.
The ELCOM company, which participates in the international engineering trade fair regularly, has chosen a new form of presentation. It had its stands in the ElectroPark in pavilion Z. The electropark drew in the crowds of both the professional and general public.
ELCOM experts also played a part in creating the accompanying specialist programme.


As expected, within hours of my Monday post, Gary Etcheverry was named the Riders new Defensive Coordinator. Now this appointment is concerning to many given Etcheverry's utter failure when he held the same position back in 2000. But let's not forget that, at the time, Gary was blessed with a secondary comprised entirely of rookies (only a few of which ever turned out to be any good) and a front 7 that wouldn't intimidate a peewee team. So all that 2000 proved is that implementing a complicated, borderline insane defense with a bunch of rookies and losers (George White not withstanding) is a really bad idea (go figure). This time around, Etcheverry has 8 years more experience and a far more talented group of players so I don't foresee a return to the porous defense of 2000. While we are certain to see our fair share of Etcheverry's patented crazy defensive schemes I don't necessarily see that as a bad thing. At least his presence will guarantee some pressure on the QB next season… even if it means blitzing all 12 defenders.
In what's starting to be a regular feature on the blog, the Toronto Argonauts have hired yet another former NFL Europe coach, the 4th one so far. This time it was Richard Kent who was hired as their Secondary Coach. Head coach Bart Andrus seems intent on reuniting the international force that was the Amsterdam Admirals. I wonder if Andrus' next move will be to replace the current Argo mascot with Albert the Albatross who faithfully served the Admirals for 12 years. Seriously, how awesome a mascot is the albatross?
The Edmonton Eskimos have finalized their coaching staff. Joining the team this season will be former Rider coach Jim Daley (as Defensive Coordinator) and Jason Tucker (as receivers coach). This is despite the fact that as recently as a few days ago, Tucker publicly stated that any reports of him becoming a coach were completely false. Way to go Jason… don't you know lies make baby Jesus cry? And to think I didn't make fun of you when I could have. You should hang your head in shame. Oh wait… you can't because you have a neck brace. HA!
John Murphy is leaving the Stampeders to become the new Director of Player Personnel for the Blue Bombers and he's apparently going to have his work cut out for him. According to Mike Kelley, the Bombers currently have absolutely no scouting information to speak of thanks to his predecessors. I wonder if that is more a product of trading away all their draft picks for the last decade or of an import recruitment strategy that consisted of "sign whoever the other teams cut".
The most entertaining bit of news this week came out of BC. Seems Buck Pierce is interested in trying his luck with the NFL. He has a workout scheduled with the Houston Texans and San Francisco, St Louis and Dallas have also expressed interest. Okay Buck… be honest with yourself for a second and tell me you honestly believe you can make it in the NFL. Your body has been blessed with the durability of soggy No Name toilet paper. Over your short CFL career you have piled up more distinct injuries than you can count on your fingers (well that is assuming they are not currently in a splint). And that was at the hands of CFL sized defenders. Seriously, I'm willing to bet if Jared Allen so much as sneezed in the direction of Buck Pierce, Pierce would instantaneously suffer 6 separate life threatening injuries.
While there's a chance that one of these guys could turn out to a be great player, I find it hard to get excited about this group of signings when the best thing to be said about any of them was that Sykes was the best D-lineman in AF2. While I'm not questioning that he was indeed the best DL in that particular league, it's just when your league consists of such reputable franchises as the Amarillo Dusters and the Charleston Swamp Foxes, I question level of play. I will rescind the previous statement if someone can find an encyclopedia with an entry on the swamp fox.
Apparently the Argos have entered into some sort of unofficial agreement with the NFL whereby they will take all the NFL's washed up and otherwise rejected players and in exchange the NFL will take the few remotely talented Argo players. Another shrewd business move by Adam Rita. I'm guessing as a kid, when it came to trading sports cards, Rita got taken advantage of by the other neighbourhood children. Just a hunch.
Oh no! The mass exodus of Rider players leaving to follow Roy Shivers to BC is finally coming to fruition! Oh wait… it's just Kyle Mitchell. I guess the exodus many predicted never materialized… unless you consider TJ Stancil and Kyle Mitchell an exodus.
So I love how Mike Kelley publicly criticizes Brendan Taman and then proceeds to do the exact same things Taman did (i.e. trade draft picks and sign aging veterans cut from other teams). It will be interesting to see how Williams does this season. The question is, is he really the all-star he's been made out to be, or is he just a marginal player who's benefited greatly from working alongside 3 of the top linemen in the league. I'm thinking it's the latter but who am I to say? I mean they took a chance on Nate Davis and that worked out pretty good… oh wait… awkward.
To be fair, Jared Allen's blood-alcohol level is usually about 4.9 - so if he did sneeze on Pierce, Buck would probably die from alcohol poisoning. Or at the very least, go blind.
Francis Marion (February 26, 1732 – February 27, 1795) is considered one of the fathers of modern guerrilla warfare, and is credited in the lineage of the United States Army Rangers.
I think you're right to not be excited about players signed from Arena Fooball's minor league. Which apparently is still going to exist, despite the bankruptcy of most of the Arena League.
Also an interesting tidbit about AF2, from their Wikipedia site - which as we all know is the most reliable source in the world - Saskatoon is rumoured to be getting an Arena team.
Maybe that's a well-known rumour in certain circles but it's the first of heard of it.
So Charleston named their team after the father of guerrilla warfare... I guess that is a pretty intimidating team name after all. I wonder what their mascot is?
As for the AF2 in Saskatoon, this is the first of I've heard of that, though I admitedly don't hang with the AF2 circles (if they even exist). I doubt it will happen but if it did I wonder what they would call the franchise... I mean the quality names like Barnstomrers and Steamwheelers are already taken.


Your function does not run in a generic browser console. However the output does not indicate "missing ')' after argument list" for some guidance in finding your code problem, try this at the console: > var arr = ['a', 'b', 'c'] > arr.length > arr > arr > arr > arr[arr.length] See what the console returns for the input above, then look again at your code. Good Luck!
I just had this problem as well. My issue was that when I changed the string input in the parameter testing box I forgot to put quotes around the input.


A teenage student who is trying to help women fight back against aggressors by literally giving them the shock of their life has invented an electro-shoe.
The ElectroShoe is still in it's developmental stage and is unfortunately not available to purchase just yet. Mandala has a few kinks left to work out and he still has to find a way to make the invention work with shoe styles other than flip-flops, but he has filed a patent and plans to market the ElectroShoe soon.
In the meantime, Mandala has become very enthusiastic about pursuing an education and subsequent career in science and technology in order to keep creating innovative crime-prevention products. He has also become an activist and set up his own NGO to spread awareness about sexual assault and volunteers teaching children basic coding. Mandala is truly an inspiration and his invention is a beacon of hope for women who are tired of walking the streets in fear.

Among probably the most prevalent electrical wiring inquiries is regarding how to wire a swap. While employing switches at your house is very simple, wiring a single may not be that effortless for everyone. An ON-OFF switch is really quite simple to wire. You will discover different types of switches, but for this example, let us say you're setting up a single-pole toggle switch, an extremely frequent switch (and the most straightforward).
You will discover 3 colors of wires inside a common single-pole toggle switch: black, white, and environmentally friendly. Splice the black wire in two and hook up them around the terminal screws - one on leading as well as other within the bottom screw of the switch. The white wire serves for a resource of uninterrupted ability and it is commonly linked into a gentle colored terminal screw (e.g., silver). Link the environmentally friendly wire to your ground screw of the swap.
These ways would typically be sufficient to create a normal change work and not using a challenge. However, should you are usually not self-confident that you simply can complete the undertaking adequately and properly you far better enable the professionals do it in its place. Immediately after all, there's a purpose why this process has become the most common electrical wiring issues requested by many people.
For a few rationale, how you can wire a ceiling fan is usually among by far the most prevalent electrical wiring thoughts. To simplify this process, you may use one switch for any single ceiling fan. To wire the supporter, it can be just a issue of connecting the black wire of your ceiling fan into the black wire on the change. If there is a light, the blue wire must be connected towards the black wire in the change too.
You will discover explanations why these are the most normally asked electrical wiring issues. Just one, quite a few imagine it's straightforward to carry out, and two, these are definitely the frequent electrical duties in your house. But then you shouldn't set your basic safety at risk within your intention to save money. The stakes could even be substantially increased if you endeavor to cut costs and do an electrical wiring work without adequate expertise or expertise.


Last Sunday, I watched a woman practically rub her lips off with steel wool, before cutting off what was left with a pair of scissors.
Up until a few years ago, I almost never watched horror. Because I'm too easily manipulated – sitting next to me during a movie with jump scares is, according to the boyfriend, hugely entertaining. Because I don't much enjoy being scared – the world is scary enough as it is, after all. Because, admittedly, I felt a bit smug about being the type of person who could simply not bear to watch horny teenagers get ripped to pieces.

The Legacy was the first in a series of tunebooks Nigel Gatherer devised during the early 1990s to consist of a selection of Scottish tunes from various sources. For one reason or another, these books failed to materialise, but Nigel recently came across a number of test pages which he'd made to judge the look and readability of the layout. He has now collected these pages and presents a small, personal selection of tunes he's found and liked, and which hopefully you'll like too.
This is an eBook (digital download, PDF format). For further information about the tunes and sources, click here.


yep, there is, its http://www.bushrairfan.co.uk. A failry simple site, nothing too fancy.
Nice to hear from you strategist, come on in, the water is hot.
I genuinely cannot understand the motivation of you and MJ in resorting to increasingly convoluted causistry to justify Jack Straw's illegal act.
No, they most certainly were not all NuLab activists. And I am pretty sure you will find that whoever wins Blackburn this time will not have a majority of much more than 700 and probably less.
Yes Craig, whose side are they on? I studied C19 British History at 'O' Level and know about the Great Reform Act and the abolition of rotten boroughs. We seem to have returned to a pre 1832 state of affairs in Blackburn and probably many others.
I see Mohammad Sarwar was there. Is he greasing Straw's wheels too like Lord Taylor of Blackburn?
'Sarwar has estimated assets of £16 million, mainly from the family wholesale cash and carry business, United Wholesale Grocers..
Thats what you need sons for mary, to stand up and be counted for daddy. Mohammed sarwar is dodgy and he can't change his company, its obvious that there is an apparent deep bond between jack Straw and M.Sarwar, not just a working relationship.
Now, if it were Glasgow, it would be steeped overnight in that exclusive liqueur cultivated lovingly, by hand, by the monks of a certain abbey.
Indeed, I had conjured-up an image of 'hand-rolled testicle soaked for a long, Saxon summer in buckram-lined barrels of Buckfast'… this is a phrase which even the intrepid Leonard Sachs would have baulked at enunciating, though the great Ivor Cutler (or indeed, his soul-brother, I mean 'ole 'rothel, hobbly, hobbly, ho' Stanley Unwin) would have iterated with enormous and rollicking aplomb.
I'm with you on this Craig. It's obviously a corrupt practice. It's just that the wording of the guidance is so peculiar that any lawyer could drive a horse and coaches through it.
The invitation was on a specially printed card for 'Muslim friends of Labour'. Hence my belief that only Nulab active supporters were invited. I understand that a substantial proportion of Blackburn voters support Jack Straw because he has done their community favours, so it doesn't surprise me that there should be 700 active supporters there.
"Muslim friends of Labour" sounds like an oxymoron – unless of course, they have been corruptly bribed, or "treated". I wonder if the invitation stated also that there would be free grub. If so, that would be good prima facie evidence, no?
MJ has got a point scousebilly, its a long piece of rubber to stretch as you like it, prima facie evidence does not come into it.
Even though convicted in 2007 and jailed for three years the son was released from prison pending appeal. Since then I haven't seen any information as to whether he won the appeal or not or even if the appeal actually took place.
Funny how great minds think alike.
Answer: Straw certainly did not invite 700 of the constituents to dinner just to have some Indian nosh. So, I guess if you play his after dinner speech, he must have somewhere in it said " vote for me" – so there – now you have his intention.
So how can we complain, who to complain etc about this man Straw?
All it needs is for anyone (doesn't have to be a candidate or even live in Blackburn) to make a formal complaint to the police that election law has been broken. They will then have to investigate.
I hope you have raised this matter with the police and the elections unit Craig. I am sure they will be able to decide whether it is treating or not.

Carr: Who crowned Olympics cheese king of the…
Carr: Who crowned Olympics cheese king of the state?
By Howie Carr | howard.carr@medianewsgroup.com | Boston Herald
PUBLISHED: March 27, 2015 at 12:00 a.m. | UPDATED: November 18, 2018 at 12:00 a.m.
Who elected John Fish?
Seriously, when did this guy run statewide, and for what office, and where in the state constitution does it say that it's now his call whether he will deign to allow a statewide referendum question on his demented scheme to beggar the taxpayers of Massachusetts?
Why do I have my doubts about his sincerity in agreeing to abide by the will of the people? First the jocksniffers were against any referendum, and they were damn haughty about it.
Then his first stooge at Boston 2024 sneered that even if the electorate voted thumbs down, they'd get the Olympics anyway — and like it, if they damn well knew what was good for them!
Now Fish is eating crow … but it's very, very important that the referendum question be worded properly. And by properly, he means no use of the dreaded "B" word — binding, as in binding prohibition of public monies for this insanity.
"It's kind of like asking the fox to guard the henhouse, isn't it?" says Evan Falchuk, the third-party candidate who's pushing for a B-word referendum.
I've invited Fish to come on my radio show, but first he wanted to sit down … privately. That's one meeting I don't go to unless I'm wired by the FBI. I mean, I was born at night, but not last night.
Fish came to the Herald this week to explain himself, along with two of his caporegimes, Richard Davey ($300G a year) and Doug Rubin ($15G a month).
Davey used to be Deval Patrick's secretary of transportation, as in MBTA and commuter rail. Obviously, a management mastermind. More importantly, he was in the middle of last year's referendum question to saddle motorists with an automatic annual increase in the gasoline tax. Davey's sticky-fingered tax-grabbers raised $3 million to spend. The taxpayers had $97,000. The taxpayers won, 53-47.
Then we have Doug Rubin. After Tim Cahill's daughter invented "Tim for Treasurer," Rubin was widely hailed as a genius. That was in 2002. Consider Doug Rubin's more recent efforts. Mohegan Sun casino in Eastie — lost. Felix Arroyo for mayor — another L. His shop handled Peter Koutoujian for Fast Eddie Markey's House seat — L. He had Warren Tolman, who started in the AG's fight with a huge lead, money advantage, plus the support of every hack and pinky-ring thug union in the state. Tolman got 37 percent of the primary vote. And finally, Marsha Coakley.
As Bill Parcells used to say, you are what your record says you are. The problem for taxpayers is, to pass this fraud of a referendum question, the usual suspects will pony up whatever it takes.
When you're looking a potential score of maybe $10 billion in other people's money, what's a $10 million investment to Fish and the rest of the one-percenters? Buying an orchard for an apple is a bargain.
But with the clown posse of Fish, Davey and Rubin running the heist crew, I like the taxpayers' chances of foiling this robbery.
Listen to Howie's radio show from 3-7 p.m. on WRKO AM 680.

NORML released our updated and revised 2016 Congressional Scorecard this week in conjunction with National Voter Registration Day. The Scorecard is an all-encompassing database that assigns a letter grade 'A' through 'F' to members of Congress based on their marijuana-related comments and voting records.
With the 2016 presidential election drawing closer and statewide marijuana initiatives qualified for the ballot in nine states, we need YOU to make it out to the polls to support ending cannabis prohibition. Double-check your status as a voter and encourage your friends and family to do the same. Take a look at how we graded your members of Congress and bring that information with you to the polls on Election Day!
Federal: Members of Congress have approved a short-term spending bill that keeps in place existing provisions protecting those who engage in the state-sanctioned use and dispensing of medical cannabis from undue prosecution by the Department of Justice. The amendment, known as the Rohrabacher-Farr Amendment, maintains that federal funds can not be used to prevent states from "implementing their own state laws that authorize the use, distribution, possession or cultivation of medical marijuana." Federal lawmakers will revisit the FY 2017 spending appropriation after the Election.
California: On Tuesday, the California Nurses Association/National Nurses United, the nation's largest state organization of nurses, announced that it has endorsed Proposition 64, the Adult Use of Marijuana Act.
The California Nurses Association joins the ACLU of California, the California Democratic Party, the California Medical Association, California Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom, the California NAACP, the California League of Conservative Voters, Equality California, the Drug Policy Alliance, Students for Sensible Drug Policy, and NORML in its support for Proposition 64.
Maine: Polling data compiled by the University of New Hampshire finds that likely voters support Question 1, the Marijuana Legalization Act, by a margin of 53 percent to 38 percent.
If enacted by voters in November, Question 1 would allow adults to legally possess up to two and one-half ounces of marijuana and to cultivate marijuana (up to six mature plants and the entire yields of said plants) for their own personal use. The measure would also establish licensing for the commercial production and retail sale of cannabis. Retail sales of cannabis would be subject to a ten percent sales tax. Non-commercial transactions and/or retail sales involving medical cannabis would not be subject to taxation.
Massachusetts: A new WBZ-TV/UMass Amherst poll finds that a majority of voters back Question 4: The Regulation and Taxation of Marijuana Act. The measure leads in the poll by a 53 percent to 40 percent margin.
If enacted, Question 4 allows adults 21 years of age and older to possess up to one ounce of marijuana outside of their residences and up to 10 ounces of marijuana in an enclosed, locked space within their residences, which mimics the current in-residence allowance established by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health for medical marijuana patients. It allows adults 21 years of age and older to grow up to six marijuana plants in an enclosed, locked space within their residences and possess the marijuana produced by those plants in the location where it was grown.
Tennessee: Members of the Memphis City Council are following in the footsteps of the Nashville Metro Council by approving a local ordinance to provide local police the discretion to issue $50 citations for those who possess up to a half-ounce of marijuana. Under state law, the possession of small amounts of cannabis is classified as a criminal misdemeanor, punishable by up to one year in jail and a criminal record. Council members approved the ordinance last week in it's second reading, with the third and final reading taking place October 4th. If you live in Memphis, consider contacting your member of City Council to urge their support for this common sense measure.


Historically, ARCC's members have been schools of architecture who have made substantial commitments to architectural research, often by forming centers directed to research programs. At the same time, ARCC has sponsored many projects, conferences, and other activities involving the broader architectural research community, including industrial laboratories, government agencies, and private practitioners engaged in research.
As an organization of researchers and research centers, ARCC sponsors workshops, undertakes sponsored projects, sustains networks, and exchanges information and experience intended to help build a research culture and infrastructure — in architecture schools and beyond.

Tips to learn Chinese
Chinese characters
PRACTICE YOUR CHINESE TO THESE SONGS!
We chose some music suggestions for you to put your Chinese fluency to the test. Will you sing along?
Whether singing is or is not your forte, we've always believed that singing along to those foreign language songs is one of the best ways to practice. Why is that? Well, we know that learning a language is like practicing a tongue twister, after a few times repeating a difficult phrase, your brain starts to get used to a few changes:
- Pace
- Tongue and muscle movement
- Sounds
Each language has the three above mentioned when it's about speaking; it's just a matter of getting used to the movement the tongue requires in order to create a sound that's completely different from your native language. If your concern is about reading the lyrics, you will surely find the next songs with pinyin online.
With no further introduction, we hope you already have QQ Music or iTunes on your device to search for these suggestions.
1. Z. TAO 黄子韬 (Huáng zǐ tāo)
One of the most famous singers in China. We are pretty sure you've seen this guy around on commercials and billboards. Looking for good vibes? This is your guy. His music is a mix between hip-hop and rap, but have no fear, we chose the next song as a start to practice your Chinese.
Suggested Chinese level: ELEMENTARY-INTERMEDIATE
Song: 敏感 (mǐn gǎn)
2. TFBOYS
They are probably China's top boy bands. Karry Wang, Roy Wang, and Jackson Yi started in 2013 at the early age of 12 and their popularity did nothing but increase since then. So much that Roy Wang became an ambassador at the United Nations representing China's Youth for a few years. Want some Mando-Pop? These are your guys.
Suggested Chinese level: INTERMEDIATE
Song: 喜欢你 (xǐhuān nǐ)
3. G.E.M.
Gloria Tang, best known as G.E.M. (an acronym for Get Everybody Moving), conquered mainlanders' hearts with her amazing voice. Born in Shanghai, raised in Hong-Kong, the talented songwriter became one of China's pop idols and the winner of many awards, which is why we can't help but suggest one of her songs.
Song: 倒数 (dàoshǔ) – TIK TOK
4. MIRA梦然 (mèng rán)
In 2019, this Inner-Mongolian songwriter gained popularity because of her song "少年 /Stay young", probably because of everyone using her song all over TikTok (Douyin), which is basically why we chose it.
Suggested Chinese level: INTERMEDIATE-ADVANCED
Song: 少年 (shàonián)
5. SODA GREEN 苏打绿 (sūdǎ lǜ)
If you think you had enough pop, probably this indie band is for you. The Taiwanese group has a long career that started back in 2001 and they just kept going uphill. Unfortunately, we haven't heard much from them in the last few years but at least there's a lot of material to choose from.
Song: 狂热 (kuángrè)
6. JOLIN TSAI 蔡依林 (càiyīlín)
Last but not least… why don't you give a try to Jolin Tsai's "The Great Artist". This Taiwanese singer started with a romantic style but eventually evolved and adapted her style combining electronic music and pop music, especially in her album MUSE, from which we chose the next song. (If you can sing to this song, go get HSK5 level now!!)

Judicial review against prorogation of Parliament launched
28 August 2019 by Jonathan Metzer
The day began with the news that the Prime Minister Boris Johnson had asked the Queen to prorogue (suspend) Parliament in order to table a Queen's Speech — with the effect that the number of days that MPs would sit between now and Brexit Day on Halloween being significantly reduced.
Tonight, Gina Miller, the successful claimant in the case challenging Theresa May's attempt to trigger Article 50 and begin the process of leaving the EU without a vote in Parliament, announced that she has reassembled the same legal team and launched a legal challenge to this move.
On Newsnight (see 31 mins, 20 seconds into this episode), former Supreme Court Justice Lord Sumption said that whilst he considered what Boris Johnson has done to be politically "shocking", he did not expect the courts to block the move, saying that
I think that it's a very very long shot. This is such an unusual situation that nobody can stand here and say what the answer is definitely going to be, but there are huge difficulties in the way of an application like that … the relations between the Crown and Parliament are governed by conventions … [which are] binding only in the sense that it would be politically costly to disregard them … the courts are not there to decide what are good political reasons and what are bad political reasons, they are there to decide what's lawful.
We shall have to wait to see what happens next.

The Swirl Is On: Drake Has Been Buying Lavish Gifts For Taylor Swift's Pussy (Cats) And It's Working
Z-rowe
Drake has been playing the game long enough. He knows the fastest way to a girl's heart is through her pussy…cat. According to multiple sources, Drake stopped at Petco the other day and went "buck wild" on cat accessories and toys for Taylor Swift's cats.
The sources add that he's also going to send her…
"This sick designer bag that she can put her cats in when she's traveling. He knows how much she adores her cats and Drake wants her to know that he adores her just as much."
If you're confused right now, we completely understand. A little over a week ago, we did our best to shut down these Swift/Drake dating rumors by explaining why they have been hanging out so much recently. They've been in the studio making music for an upcoming album.
And at the time, it appeared to be strictly business; however, now it looks like we're starting to see the fire behind all this smoke. We're not ready to confirm they're dating, but we are saying it's looking more likely. Last week, Drake posted this image of himself standing next to Swift at his b-day celebration.
Honestly. I can't handle a world where Donald Trump is president and Drake and Taylor Swift are dating. It's too much. I can handle one of those events, but not both at the same freaking time. It ain't right.
So either Trump needs to come out and admit he's been trolling us all, or these sources need to admit they are making all this sh*t up.

"Simon & Garfunkel"
Even though books such as Lee Andresen's 'Battle Notes…Music of the Vietnam War' list more than a half-dozen Simon & Garfunkel songs as being war-related, the folk duo cannot be characterized as protest singers. Neither Paul Simon's lyrics nor the pair's concerts were overtly political. When the Vietnam War cropped up it could be embedded in a news broadcast [as in 7 O'clock News/Silent Night], directly implied through name dropping [A Simple Desultory Philippic], or left to inference by the listener [Side Of The Hill from the 1965 LP 'The Paul Simon Songbook,' a UK release].
Both 7 O'clock News and A Simple Desultory Philippic are from 'Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme.' The album went triple platinum, spent almost three years among 'Billboard's' Top 200 LPs and produced three hit singles (though not these two songs).
The news broadcast heard behind the strains of Silent Night would have had to air on August 3, 1966. The date can be pinpointed by the reference to comedian Lenny Bruce's death. Richard Nixon's quote, that "opposition to the war in this country is the greatest single weapon working against the United States," is permitted to pass with no comment. A Simple Desultory Philippic is the song's second version, Paul having recorded the first solo while in London. It is sometimes referred to with a subtitle: (Or How I Was Robert McNamara'd Into Submission). The Secretary of Defense is one of three Vietnam principals mentioned in the song. The other two are the U.S. Ambassador to Vietnam, Maxwell Taylor and singer Barry Sadler. To find the connection in Side Of The Hill one need only substitute Vietnam for Simon's "a land called somewhere."
Paul Simon was born on October 13, 1941 in Newark, New Jersey; Art Garfunkel on November 5, 1941 in Forest Hills, New York. The two met in high school and initially recorded as Everly Brothers sound-alikes, Tom & Jerry. Starting with 1965s The Sound Of Silence they were America's best-selling duo for the next six years. They had three #1 singles, three #1 albums and sold in excess of 20 million records. In addition to being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990, they received Grammy's "Lifetime Achievement Award" in 2003.

FirstNet Board Named for Nationwide Public Safety Broadband Network
FirstNet, National Telecommunications and Information Administration, NTIA, public safety network, PublicSafety
The FirstNet board, an independent authority within NTIA that will hold the spectrum license for the national public safety broadband network, has been named. The First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet) is charged with taking "all actions necessary" to build, deploy and operate this network, in consultation with federal, state, tribal and local public safety entities and other key stakeholders. FirstNet oversees $7 billion in funding toward deployment of this network, as well as $135 million for a new State and Local Implementation Grant Program administered by NTIA to support state, regional, tribal and local jurisdictions' efforts to plan and work with FirstNet to ensure the network meets their wireless public safety communications needs.
This 12-person team is responsible for deciding how to specify the nationwide interoperable broadband network for public safety and how to spend this $7.2 billion set aside by the Obama Administration for that purpose. The board is made up of government officials, telecom industry professionals and most importantly public safety practitioners. The difficult decisions are now on the table for the FirstNet board, and we will be watching closely to see how they address the challenges. Ultimately, our public safety practitioners must have faith in the decisions and the network that will be implemented. Their needs are not always congruent with commercial wireless networks, so some changes to the commercial networks may be needed if they are to be used for public safety applications.
Aviat Networks believes that the best solution would be for FirstNet to empower states/municipalities to make the best decisions for their particular geographies and needs. What works in Alaska is not the same as the best solution for New York City, for example. Specific guidelines for interoperability requirements and use of available funding must be dictated by FirstNet. But specific needs knowledge, existing cross-state relationships and years of public safety experience all live with the states. We should challenge them to use those assets and to achieve the desired result. Key vendors like Harris and Motorola are well positioned to help the states move quickly and cost effectively to achieve interoperable broadband coverage.
At APCO this week, we saw examples of LTE network trials/demonstrations that clearly show us that LTE public safety network technology is ready to go. Data, video and even voice were moved across the entire U.S., allowing a police chief in Massachusetts to coordinate activities with his counterpart in Nevada. Real-time video of a simulated terrorist episode in Tampa could be viewed by federal entities in Washington, D.C. The ability to move and share information allows first responders to react quickly and with conviction to protect Americans.
So what should vendors to the public safety market do? They should be ready to move quickly with innovative solutions that align with the directions of FirstNet and bring high reliability and performance to the network while stripping out as much CAPEX/OPEX as possible.
Working together with our skilled public safety professionals, we can get this done!

Public safety agencies will soon experience a dramatic improvement in communications capabilities enabled by advances in technology. New broadband multimedia applications will give first responders and commanders alike far better situational awareness, thereby improving both the effectiveness and safety of all personnel charged with protecting the public.
The specific technology, now mandated by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for all new emergency communications networks, is Long Term Evolution, or LTE—a fourth-generation (4G) broadband solution. The FCC has also allocated licensed spectrum to ensure the best possible performance in these new networks. These FCC rulings support the goal of achieving an interoperable nationwide network for public safety agencies.
The FCC chose LTE based on its proven ability to support voice, video and data communications at remarkably high data rates that were previously only possible with wired links. Although there will be some differences in a nationwide public safety network involving capacity and coexistence with Land-Mobile Radio communications, lessons learned from LTE's deployment in large-scale commercial mobile operator networks will help ensure agencies are able to achieve the FCC's goal cost-effectively.
