News of the Week for March 8th, 2015
IRS defends paying refunds to illegals who never filed taxes
The IRS is defending its decision to let illegal immigrants claim up to three years' refunds on income even if they never paid income taxes, telling Congress in a new letter last week that agency lawyers have concluded getting a Social Security number triggers the ability to go back and ask for previous refunds.
IRS Employee Looking for Lois Lerner Emails Was Blind, Literally!
An IRS employee tasked with trying to restore and obtain emails on Lois Lerner's IRS computer's hard drive was legally blind. Stephen Manning, the deputy chief information officer for strategy and modernization at the IRS, submitted an affidavit in the True the Vote vs. IRS litigation regarding the persons and procedures used to attempt to recover Lois Lerner's hard drive containing emails pertaining to Tea Party targeting.
Obama's Executive Amnesty is Much, Much Worse than You Think
Unless you are one of Obama's bootlickers in the Senate, you probably are under the impression that Obama's executive amnesty is a bad idea even if, like me, you are somewhat squishy on the issue of immigration itself. But however bad you thought it was that Obama is seeking to unilaterally rewriting a law that is constitutionally within the exclusive purview of Congress, you will think this is much worse: the IRS has decided to allow illegal immigrants who receive social security numbers under the executive amnesty to get checks from the IRS for the earned income tax credit (EITC) for the last three years EVEN IF THEY DIDN'T FILE OR PAY TAXES FOR THOSE YEARS.
Hillary Clinton Used Personal Email at State Dept., Possibly Breaking Rules

Top Ten Threats to Gun Rights in 2015
After years of being treated like political outcasts, gun advocacy groups are now entrenched as powerful political insiders, putting gun-rights in Ohio, and in America, at a crossroads as we enter 2015. By earning a "seat at the table" through hard work, an unflinching willingness to see the truth win out, and dedication to the cause, pro-gun leaders have been able to pick off much of the low-hanging gun reform fruit.
Handgun Ammunition Vending Machine Owned By A Candidate For County Sheriff Is Raising Eyebrows
A vending machine operated by a candidate for Beaver County Sheriff that distributes firearms ammunition is raising some eyebrows.

Is American LNG Ready to Help Europe?

"Lefty Billionaire" Tom Steyer Manipulates Climate Change Policy and Governors
Recent revelations resulted in the Feb. 13, 2015 resignation of Democratic Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber over collusion between the California and Washington State governors' offices, Kitzhaber's office, and environmental groups, to force climate policy coordination and collaboration across the U.S., I reported in my story last week.
Not Content With Enormous Taxpayer Subsidies, Elon Musk Turned To Prison Labor For Cost Savings
Disgraced former Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber isn't the only big name caught up in the emerging green energy scandal in the Pacific Northwest: SolarCity, the brainchild of billionaire corporate welfare queen Elon Musk, was also heavily involved in some of Kitzhaber's shady schemes. According to an extensive investigation by The Oregonian, a local paper, this particular scheme had it all: political corruption, broken deal terms, and $0.93/hour prison labor.
Cruz unveils ObamaCare alternative
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) on Tuesday offered the latest in a series of Republican ObamaCare alternatives ahead of a Supreme Court ruling that could gut the law.
Jonathan Gruber in 2013: States Without Exchanges Will Cost Residents
Most observers of the legal battle over Obamacare's subsidies are now familiar with the two clips (one video and one audio) in which economist Jonathan Gruber takes the plaintiff's side, saying only states which set up an exchange will receive subsidies. But a third example of Gruber saying much the same thing has, so far, received very little attention.
"There's Going To Be Chaos" – What Is The Worst-Case Outcome Of Today's Supreme Court Obamacare Hearing
Today, for the second time since 2012, the fate of Obamacare lies in the hands of the Supreme Court, and like last time, it will likely be all about Justice John Roberts ' decision. Later today, the US Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in the case of King v. Burwell, the latest challenge to Obamacare, and one that could potentially leave it gutted from an unexpected direction. As a result, nearly eight million Americans could lose their health insurance depending on how the Supreme Court interprets four words in the "Affordable" Care Act.

Message from an Assyrian Christian Fighter
The fate of more than 200 Assyrian Christians kidnapped by ISIS in northern Syria remains unknown (19 have been released), but fears of "a slaughter of major proportions" are well founded.

The U.S. Constitution Actually Bans Hillary's Foreign Government Payola
The Washington Post reported last week that the tax-exempt foundation run by Bill and Hillary Clinton accepted money from seven foreign governments while Hillary served as U.S. Secretary of State (it's unclear how much foreign money the organization accepted while Hillary was a U.S. Senator). Super shady, right? It's worse than that, though, because Article I, Section 9 of the U.S. Constitution actually bans foreign payola for U.S. officials.

Danforth, in eulogy, decries 'whispering campaign' against Schweich
In a eulogy that doubled as a stunning rebuke of a top official in his own party, former U.S. Sen. John Danforth, R-Mo., declared Tuesday that "politics has gone so hideously wrong," and implicitly blamed that tone for Missouri gubernatorial candidate Tom Schweich's suicide last week.
GOP Leaders Will Allow Clean DHS Vote
Over conservatives' objections, Republicans will let a measure come to the floor that doesn't block Obama's immigration actions.
Deal or No Deal? How Boehner and Pelosi Funded DHS
They did it with three and a half days to spare. On Tuesday, Republicans and Democrats in the House came together to pass a Department of Homeland Security funding bill through the rest of the fiscal year. And despite the repeated insistence from Speaker John A. Boehner's office that there was "no deal" between the Ohio Republican and Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, Democratic sources close to negotiations tell a slightly different story.
Vox Writer: Ditch U.S. Constitution, Replace With Parliamentary System
Intrepid boy reporter Dylan Matthews at General Electric (also Comcast) Vox got hilariously spanked in public recently when he proposed that the U.S. Senate be abolished because it was "anti-democratic." Matthews somehow forgot (or never learned) that we have a federal system so such an abolition would be impossible under our system of government. Therefore, young Dylan found another outlet for his pubescent enthusiasms. Why, if we can't abolish the Senate under the current system then BINGO! Ditch the despised constitution and replace it with a parliamentary system.
Supreme Court oral argument: Kennedy leaning towards White House's view on ObamaCare subsidies?
Every lawyer who reads Hot Air will start shouting at their screen when they read that headline that you can't tell how a judge is leaning by what he says at oral argument. Maybe Kennedy's actually pro-challenger in this case and just wants to iron out one wrinkle in their argument before voting with them! Could be, but don't forget that the last time O-Care was before the Supreme Court, Kennedy sounded verrrry skeptical of the individual mandate in oral argument, going so far at one point as to ask whether it wouldn't make more sense to nuke the entire statute rather than try to salvage parts of it if the mandate was held unconstitutional. And in the end, that's exactly how he voted — the mandate is unconstitutional and the entirety of ObamaCare deserves to be flushed. Kennedy's oral-argument tea leaves in that case were spot on. Worth noting.

Netflix Exec Says It Didn't Actually Want FCC to Regulate Broadband So Heavily
Netflix CFO David Wells, in comments at an industry conference, said the company's preference was that broadband Internet service should not be regulated by the U.S. government as a telecommunications utility — appearing to backtrack on Netflix's previous stance on the issue, although the company later said that its position remained unchanged.

Senate votes to block union election rule

Harry Reid illegally used Senate resources for political purposes
Harry Reid illegally used Senate resources for political purposes (allegedly). The ethics complaints filed against Reid today accusing the crusty old Democrat of a meeting between Reid and his caucus Democrats. The Senate funds were used to promote his 2016 re-election campaign. That is a violations of Senate ethics rules. Of course, since Harry Reid is a liberal Democrat, don't expect any news coverage of this. Ethics and Harry Reid (or Democrats in general) just don't go together.
Imam Who Said Ayaan Hirsi Ali Deserved Death Penalty Was Hired By DOJ To Teach Muslim Classes To Federal Prisoners

Judicial Watch Sues for Hillary and Huma's Egypt Emails
Judicial Watch announced today that it has filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the State Department seeking any and all communications – including emails – from then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her Chief of Staff Huma Abedin with Nagla Mahmoud, wife of ousted Egyptian president Mohammad Morsi, from January 21, 2009 to January 31, 2013 (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of State (No. 1:15-cv-00321)). This latest lawsuit will require the State Department to answer questions about and conduct thorough searches of Hillary Clinton's newly discovered hidden email accounts. Judicial Watch also has nearly a dozen other active FOIA lawsuits that may require the State Department to search these email accounts. Huma Abedin is also alleged to have a secret account as well.
U.S. millennials post "abysmal" scores in tech skills test, lag behind foreign peers
There was this test. And it was daunting. It was like the SAT or ACT — which many American millennials are no doubt familiar with, as they are on track to be the best educated generation in history — except this test was not about getting into college. This exam, given in 23 countries, assessed the thinking abilities and workplace skills of adults. It focused on literacy, math and technological problem-solving. The goal was to figure out how prepared people are to work in a complex, modern society.
Did Hillary Clinton Violate the Federal Embezzlement Law?
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's systematic evasion of federal recordkeeping requirements involved both the use of private email addresses and a server system installed in her Chappaqua manse. The servers, according to the Washington Free Beacon, may have been set up by shady longtime Clinton lackey Eric Hothem – under a false name (Eric Hoteham) slightly varied from his true name. It may also have been designed to give users the ability to erase emails without a trace.

Hillary's shoddy private e-mail security is a potential national security disaster
We already knew it was bad. Not until you read this will you understand how bad. In fact, I debated with myself whether to even include the word "potential" in the headline. The reason it's there is because cybersecurity experts can't say for an absolute fact that foreign governments infiltrated her server. All they can say is that it's a virtual certainty given how high a priority she is for enemy hackers and how clumsy her defenses were. It's like a business owner knowing that his store is being cased and choosing to leave the vault unlocked anyway.
State Department Refusing To Answer How It Handled Open Records Requests For Hillary Emails
The State Department is refusing to provide insight into how the federal agency handled Freedom of Information Act requests for Hillary Clinton's emails, as fallout from Clinton's use of a private email account as secretary of state is poised to stretch into a third day.
Clinton Internal Cable Forbids Use Personal Accounts
Fox News has exclusively obtained an internal 2011 State Department cable that shows Secretary of State Clinton's office told employees not to use personal email for security reasons, while at the same time, HRC conducted all government business on a private account. Sent to Diplomatic and Consular Staff in June 2011, the unclassified cable, with Clinton's electronic signature, makes clear to "avoid conducting official Department from your personal e-mail accounts" and employees should not "auto-forward Department email to personal email accounts which is prohibited by Department policy."
Group Wants to Replace Andrew Jackson on $20 Bill With Abortion Activist Margaret Sanger
In Margaret Sanger's book, "Pivot of Civilization" she describes African-Americans, and immigrants as "human weeds," "reckless breeders," and "spawning… human beings who never should have been born."

The Lee-Rubio Tax ProposalShare article on Facebook
Senators Mike Lee and Marco Rubio have today released a more detailed version of the tax proposal they outlined together last year. It combines a very aggressive pro-growth reform of the business side of the code with significant and broad-based tax relief on the individual side. I think Ramesh is right to describe the result as "the most pro-growth tax reform since Calvin Coolidge's presidency" and Ryan Ellis of Grover Norquist's Americans for Tax Reform is right to say that this is "what pro-growth looks like in the 21st century," precisely because it is directed to the most serious obstacles the tax code poses to growth in our 21st century economy while also addressing the most serious federal tax burdens confronting most Americans now.

Here's What The Unemployment Rate Looks Like If You Add Back Labor Force Dropouts
The Department of Labor announced today that the official unemployment rate fell to 5.5 percent last month, the lowest it's been since Spring of 2008. Good news, right? Well, kind of. The official unemployment rate masks a problem that's been plaguing the economy since shortly before the 2009 recession: a continuing decline in the labor force participation rate, which basically measures the percentage of the able-bodied population that's either working or looking for work. After holding steady at roughly 66 percent from 2004 through late 2008, the labor force participation has been falling, and falling, and falling some more, with no end in sight.
The Experts Agree: Europe Is DoomedShare article on Facebook
George Friedman has a reputation as a geopolitical thinker, one who tries to work out the balance of forces in today's world. Stratfor, the consultancy he founded some 20 years ago, puts out highly regarded and mostly speculative studies. He is the author of several books, the latest of which is Flash Points, whose subtitle — The Emerging Crisis in Europe — gives away the game. Opening chapters describe how Europe took its time to become the standard-bearer of civilization, only to throw everything away in the 31 deadly years between 1914 and 1945. In the turmoil, he and his family — originally Hungarian — escaped the Nazis and the Communists only by chance.

It'd probably be a good thing if said donors knew what their money is paying for. Short version: UCLA has an Undergraduate Students Association: the association has a judicial board. A sophomore named Rachel Beyda was under consideration for the board. Everyone agreed that she was qualified… and then half of those people qualified that admission with a 'but.'
Ben Carson For Senate
Senator Barbara Mikulski of Maryland announced today that she will not seek a seventh term. That opens up, I think, a great opportunity for Dr. Ben Carson, who I believe lives in Maryland, having been associated with Johns Hopkins for many years. Dr. Carson has talked about running for president. He is a great guy and a tremendous asset to the Republican Party, but administering the executive branch is not an entry-level position for a politician. Carson, I think, would be ideally placed in the Senate.

Two things people are missing about Netanyahu's speech
(1) He didn't just make a case for why the U.S. should be harder on Iran. He made the case for unilateral Israeli military intervention too, sub silentio. (2) The most damaging thing to Obama here isn't even the substance, but the contrast in style. Netanyahu, as someone said on Twitter, was better in his second language than Obama is in his first. And he presented himself as a leader who cares about his country, rather than one, like Obama, who makes excuses for its enemies.
The Constitution has Failed
Give the framers of the Constitution a lot of credit for having an understanding of human nature that was surprisingly perceptive and ahead of its time. They understood well that, all other things being equal, men will more often act in their own perceived self interest than in the interest of others. They therefore understood that the key to establishing a long-lasting form of government that would provide both stability and harness the best parts of majoritarianism while protecting against its excesses, it would be necessary to provide a divided government with structural checks and balances in which the self-interest of one branch would continually work against the self-interest of the others in a never-ending give and take that would preserve not only the Republic but the institutions of the Presidency, the Congress, and the Courts themselves.

The latest poll from USC Dornsife and the Los Angeles Times would have you believe California voters give Gov. Jerry Brown and the Legislature their highest approval ratings in year — despite "soaring taxes, high unemployment, costly illegal immigration, escalating crime rates, substandard roads, record power and gas prices, underwater home values, and dismal schools."

The Leader of the Free World
Scott Ott first described him thus… a brave, thoughtful, serious man doing a brave, thoughtful serious job. In his latest FIREWALL, Bill Whittle provides the amazing and disturbing contrast between The President of the United States and The Leader of the Free World.
Fundamental Concepts – Weakness Invites Aggression
It's human nature to live in your own bubble. We have only experienced the world that we live in, so naturally many people assume that the world as it is is its default state. In order to move beyond this paradigm, one must first be introspective enough to recognize it, then take the time and effort to study history and culture to examine whether your norm is anything at all like the human norm through history. Often times this forces one to confront truths that may be, like life, nasty and brutish.
Modern media and the destructive representation of conservativism
Although rightfully excoriated for his comments comparing public unions to ISIS, Gov. Scott Walker's (R-Wis.) treatment by the media continues to highlight the gross disparity in the way with which conservative candidates are analyzed and represented, when compared to their liberal counterparts. Whereas Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Hillary Clinton are all hailed for their various policy proposals, as well as their personal and professional achievements, individuals like Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), Gov. Chris Christie (R-N.J.) and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) are ruthlessly assailed for every quip or comment, be they contextual or otherwise.
Feminists forget Sanger's racist legacy
Do these women actually know who Margaret Sanger was?
Getting a Progressive to "yes" on conservative ideas
I spent some time talking to an incredibly nice, helpful, genuinely kind hard-Leftist who has dreams of a President Bernie Sanders. The wisdom of years has taught me that one makes no headway with someone like this by saying "Are you out of your cotton-pickin' mind?" I'd barely have finished my first sentence about the inevitable evils of true socialism before she would have raised her defenses and either tuned me out or attacked me – and really, I would have deserved it if I'd been that disrespectful and superficial.
'There Is No Spoon': Radical Feminism and the Paranoid Matrix of Patriarchy
My friends Nice Deb and the Lonely Conservative express amazement at my ability to maintain sanity after spending so many months wading deep into the feminist madness. Really, it's a miracle, and your continued prayers are most earnestly requested as I continue this research. As I remark in the book, you can't understand feminism without studying abnormal psychology, especially the etiology of paranoia.

Wouldn't a new and improved bill of rights be glorious?
The president has taken upon himself so much authority never envisioned by the Constitution that perhaps it is time for a renewed Bill of Rights to set things straight with this guy.
Jezebel Is Politics for Drooling Morons
Social Justice Warriors never learn. If Scott Walker wanted to do something particularly awful, it wouldn't take a shitty Gawker site like Jezebel to report it. The story would be in the New York Times and the Washington Post. Similarly, anyone with even a double-digit IQ who spends time on the Internet should be able to spot rage bait just by reading a headline.

To book artists and talent such as Amanda for your corporate event, convention, or fundraiser, just use our Find Talent Form or Contact us.
At first glance, you might assume that Amanda is a typical teen. When asked what she likes to do, she admits, "I love going to the movies, hanging out with my friends�oh, and shopping!" Typical teen? Not quite. Sweden's latest exciting musical export may enjoy the same pursuits as her friends, but these days, she has precious little time to do so. As the first young female pop artist signed to Maverick Recording Company, the vivacious, energetic and vibrant performer has been hard at work completing EVERYBODY DOESN'T, her sizzling label debut, to be released in early summer of 2001.
Produced by Swedish hitmakers BAG and Arnthor (known for their work with 98 Degrees, Samantha Mumba and Jennifer Lopez), Bloodshy (Vitamin C, LFO, 98 Degrees) and other producers from the Murlyn Music camp, EVERYBODY DOESN'T is, in the young artist's own words, "pop music with R&B influences." While many of the tracks - such as the infectious title track "Everybody Doesn't" (which is also the first single), "You Don't Stand A Chance" (a key cut featured on the 2000 Maverick soundtrack for "Rugrats In Paris") and "Can't Stop My Love" - are strong dance grooves, Amanda displays another side of her burgeoning talent on the heartfelt ballad "If I Open My Heart" and the acoustic "Start It All Over Again."
"All of the songs have subjects that people of my generation can relate to," says the upbeat singer. "They're based on experiences that teenagers go through." It's no surprise then, that Amanda co-wrote two of the tunes, "Everybody Doesn't" and the head-boppin' "Not The One (For Me)" and indeed, can validate the lyrical themes on a number of the album's twelve tracks. "I can relate to "Can't Stop My Love," which is about having control of a romantic situation and "The Way I Am," a song that definitely expresses me well. It's all about not letting others put you down and fully being yourself. "Not The One (For Me)" is talking about honesty - be honest with me or we don't have a relationship! I can relate to "Everybody Doesn't" because I went through that. It's about not being rushed into anything, not going too fast too soon�"
One thing's for sure: life has been moving quite fast in recent years for the French-born Amanda, who has lived in Sweden since she was very young. Her first musical inspiration, she remembers, came when her mother brought home a tape of Michael Jackson's "Dangerous" album. "I loved it and I spent hours in front of the mirror imitating him while I was singing along with the songs!" she smiles. By the age of six, Amanda was attending dance classes and, at the suggestion of her dance teacher, she auditioned for a local production of "The Sound Of Music."
Playing the part of Brigitta in the musical, Amanda got her first chance to sing in public. After appearing as one of the opening artists for the World Athletic Games in Gottenburg, she performed on the Swedish T.V. show "Little Stars. While she wanted to do a Michael Jackson song, "I ended up doing a Janet [Jackson] song, "If," and I won�"
It was while preparing to do Janet's "The Best Things In Life Are Free" for a local show in her home town of Taby that Amanda met choreographer Laila Bagge who happened to be the wife of music producer Anders Bagge (or "BAG"). "He heard me sing and wanted to sign me to his production company, Murlyn Music," she recalls. "He asked me to spend some time practicing. Then in 1998, he felt I was ready so I started doing some demos with him and his production partner, Arnthor."
Arnthor produced "Everybody Doesn't" on Amanda's demo and this collaboration was the catalyst that led to a deal with Maverick. "I was very excited about being with the label," says Amanda, who says her favorite artists include Mariah Carey, Lauryn Hill, Brian McKnight and both Janet and Michael Jackson. "Madonna has always been one of my influences not only because of her music but because she is such a trendsetter."
Work on her all-important first Maverick album began in Murlyn Music's state-of-the-art recording studios in 2000. By the end of the year, Amanda had put the finishing touches to the record. "Of course, I'm aware that there are other young female artists who have been very successful, like Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera, but I like to think that I'm my own person," she says candidly, "and I bring a European flavor and style to my music."
Indeed, Amanda's Swedish 'connection' is a strong asset at a time when superstar groups like 'Nsync and Backstreet Boys have been creating their own share of hits with Swedish producers and songwriters. "We like to make music that's fun," says Amanda, "and I think that's why artists are coming to Sweden to record."
Fully utilizing the resources of Murlyn Music's hitmaking team, Amanda has created an album that represents the very best of contemporary pop and dance music. Whether she is talking about the importance of true friendship in "Call Me" or going through familiar teen issues with the pulsating groove of "Crush On You," Amanda brings excitement and energy to her Maverick debut. "I want to have a long career in music," she smiles,"recording, performing all over the world and developing myself as a songwriter." One listen to EVERYBODY DOESN'T and there's no doubt that Amanda is ready and right on target for reaching those goals�and more.
To book an artist such as Amanda or other big name talent for your Corporate Event, Private Party, Fundraiser or Convention, let one of our mediator agents negotiate with managers, agents and artists to achieve the best possible entertainment experience.

Q: How do I return my ViewModel after going through for-loops? So I have a ViewModel with these fields:
List<Question> questions;
List<Answer> answers;

where Question holds an ICollection<Answer> and each answer holds a question, EF migrating style.
I'm showing the data in the view but afterwards I'd like to bring it as a parameter to my post-parameter.
The ViewModel holds following data:
3 questions
5 answers in each question
My View looks like this:
@model SurveyAPI.Models.ViewModels.ShowSurveyViewModel
@using (Html.BeginForm())
{
    @for (int i = 0; i < Model.questions.Count; i++)
    {
        @Html.TextBoxFor(p => Model.questions[i].QuestionText, new { style = "font-weight : bold" })

    for (int ii = 0; ii <= Model.questions[i].Answers.Count; ii++)
    {
        @Html.HiddenFor(p => Model.answers[ii].Id)
        @Html.TextBoxFor(p => Model.answers[ii].AnswerText)
        @Html.HiddenFor(p => Model.answers[ii].Question)
    }

}

<input type="submit" />
}

But what I'm submitting isn't everything.
Instead it holds:
3 questions (as it should)
5 answers (only from the last question - I obviously want all 15 answers).
Each answer (the 5 I am receiving) holds no question to them even though that there's data in the Hidden field to the question.
What on earth am I doing wrong and how do I recieve the exact same object as the model is now in my post-method?

A: The inputs in inner loop don't reference question object, so it always starts from 0. They all have same names (as they start from 0 for every question) so only those from first iteration of outer loop are used.
To fix it, inner loop should look something like this:
for (int ii = 0; ii <= Model.questions[i].Answers.Count; ii++)
{
    @Html.HiddenFor(p => p.questions[i].Answers[ii].Id)
    @Html.TextBoxFor(p => p.questions[i].Answers[ii].AnswerText)
    @Html.HiddenFor(p => p.questions[i].Answers[ii].Question)
}

Each HiddenFor and TextBoxFor should have reference do questions[i], so input names are rendered unique and post'ed corectly.
If You want to have separate property for question and answer, inner loop variable cannot start from 0, for example it should look like this:
@{ int index = 0; }
@for (int i = 0; i < Model.questions.Count; i++)
{
    @Html.TextBoxFor(p => Model.questions[i].QuestionText, new { style = "font-weight : bold" })

    for (int ii = 0; ii <= Model.questions[i].Answers.Count; ii++, index++)
    {
        @Html.HiddenFor(p => Model.answers[index].Id)
        @Html.TextBoxFor(p => Model.answers[index].AnswerText)
        @Html.HiddenFor(p => Model.answers[index].Question)
    }

}

Infectious diseases, such as the H1N1 influenza strain, have wrought havoc not only on human populations in recent years but increasingly on critical bits of economic infrastructure such as transport systems and hospitals. Efforts to contain the spread of the viruses are often hampered by the time and complicated processes involved in the diagnosis, isolation and treatment of patients showing symptoms of such viruses.
A Singapore outfit has developed a device that could dramatically slash the amount of time, costs and human resources needed to diagnose infectious diseases during critical outbreaks. At first glance, the Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology's MicroKit looks like a souped-up breadmaker. But its insides reveal the convergence of technologies from a number of different research fields, including electrical, biomedical and chemical engineering. The invention is a finalist in the Asian Innovation Awards. The kit brings together a number of traditionally complicated and hazardous processes involved in disease detection into one small unit.
"The main challenge is to basically miniaturize the whole system so it's very fast and requires a very small amount of samples," IBN Executive Director Jackie Ying said. "The whole set-up is very small so that you can put it on a benchtop and be able to use it not just in the hospital but in the clinics as well as in checkpoints such as airports," she said. Using samples of bodily tissue or fluids, the kit marries the RNA/DNA extraction and the molecular diagnosis processes and reduces the time taken for the total detection process to two hours from six.
An operator using the MicroKit need only place a very small sample into a cartridge that slots into the device for analysis. At present, the sample-preparation process involves several steps between different pieces of equipment, often located in different facilities. The numerous steps also increase the chance of sample contamination as well as exposure of the virus to those collecting and analyzing the sample. However, the portability of the MicroKit means disease detection can be carried out at decentralized locations where human traffic is concentrated. Additionally, people operating the kit in the field don't need to be medical professionals.
IBN has licensed the MicroKit technology to SG Molecular Diagnostics, a spinoff of Singapore-based Dynamed Biotech Pte. Ltd., which plans to develop a range of diagnostic devices. It's also currently engaged in clinical trials for bacterial detection with Singapore General Hospital and National University Hospital, also in Singapore. Another important advance the kit makes is through its sub-typing capabilities, which remove the historically troublesome degree of uncertainty about which strain of influenza a person may be carrying.
This means people who are carrying only seasonal variants of the flu as opposed to the more virulent strains of influenza A H1N1 need not be isolated, helping reduce congestion in the hospital system. Over the past decade, pandemics of highly infectious diseases have created large problems for governments, not just in terms of human lives claimed but also in terms of their ability to cripple health and transport systems. The increased connectivity of the global economy means the economic impact of such outbreaks can extend well beyond those parts of the world immediately affected by the infections.
While the development of this device has its genesis in the various influenza strains that have made headlines in recent years, Professor Ying says the kit, with minor modifications, could also be used to identify a host of other diseases and infections such as HIV; hand, foot and mouth disease; hepatitis; dengue fever; SARS and cancer. It could also be useful in helping pick up traces of bacteria in the food industry.
"We are always looking at being able to upgrade our system so we can not only look at one sample at a time but 20 samples at a time, which is really what's needed when you have an outbreak of disease," Professor Ying said.


Launched on May 21, 2013, Legacy of Romulus was Star Trek Online's first expansion which brought numerous updates to the game, first and foremost a third playable faction, the Romulan Republic.

Instead of having to play a Federation character to level 20 to unlock the creation of a Klingon Empire character, every faction, including the new Romulan Republic, became playable from the beginning of the game.
Completely new tutorial for Klingon characters and new story content for levels 1-20.
A new playable faction, the Romulan Republic, became available to players with this expansion.
The player can choose between Romulan and Reman playable species for this faction.
Remans became available as either a C-store unlock, or an account-wide reward for achieving Tier 5 in the Romulan Reputation System.
Romulan episode content including around 30 exclusively Romulan episodes.
Around level 10, in the mission "Turning Point", players have to ally with either the Federation or the Klingon Empire.
This choice is permanent, and allows access to some of the ally's equipment and starships.
Empress Sela and Colonel Hakeev return in the story, including voice-overs by Denise Crosby.
In addition to their ally's Tier 1-4 ships, Romulan players will be able to fly iconic Romulan warbird class starships. These ships use **Singularity Core engines, and cannot equip standard Warp Core engines.

Up to $7,500* in matching grant funds for Raleigh North Carolina first time home buyers!
According to most first time home buyers. Saving money for the down payment on a home is often cited as the most difficult obstacle in the home buying process to overcome. Buying a home for anyone is a big commitment. This is not something that you can just jump into, as there is much more to buying a house than you may think. From a house value estimate, getting approved for a mortgage, to finding a real estate agent and making an offer, there is a lot of research to be done before signing on the dotted lines.

Weak German data lifts dollar, sterling slips before Brexit vote
Published Tue, Jan 15 20196:11 AM EST Updated Tue, Jan 15 20193:03 PM EST
Kham | Reuters
The U.S. dollar rose against the euro on Tuesday after data showed Germany's economy slowed in 2018, and sterling slipped ahead of a parliamentary vote on the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the European Union.
Growth in Europe's largest economy slowed to 1.5 percent in 2018, the German government reported on Tuesday. That was the slowest rate of GDP growth in five years. Investors are also worried about slower growth around the world due to trade disputes driven by U.S. President Donald Trump's policies.
Against the dollar, the euro dropped to a five-day low of $1.141 after the data was released. In mid-morning trade, the single currency had retraced some of its losses, and was last at $1.1385.
Analysts said that while the German economic figures were in line with expectations, the gloomy picture added to growing doubts about whether the European Central Bank will raise interest rates at all in 2019.
Investors are also closely watching sterling with British Prime Minister Theresa May widely expected to lose a vote in parliament later Tuesday on her Brexit deal.
"The market is anticipating the UK parliamentary vote on the withdrawal agreement," said Shahab Jalinoos, head of foreign exchange strategy at Credit Suisse in New York. "The vote is obviously essential to Sterling, but the event is big enough to draw global attention."
Other analysts expect the pound will take a major beating if May loses the vote by a wide margin since it could push Britain closer to a chaotic exit from the EU.
Sterling traded down 1.05 percent against the dollar at $1.272.
The greenback gave back some gains after the U.S. Labor Department reported that producer prices fell in December by the most in more than two years. The latest sign of tame U.S. inflation was not enough to reverse the overall upwards trajectory of the dollar on the day.
Although the U.S. government shutdown continued, "the impact is still too difficult to measure, especially in foreign exchange terms," said Jalinoos.
A shock contraction in Chinese trade and worries over the U.S. economy losing stream have bred fears of a global downturn that could see the Federal Reserve refrain from tightening monetary policy this year.

On the occasion of the Centenary of the death of S. Francisco Marto, on April 4, 2019, the group "Mater Fatima" is promoting a worldwide spiritual project called "Fatima for the world - Rosary and Adoration for peace".
The main celebration will take place at the parish church of Fatima, where the shepherd children were baptized and where Saint Francisco Marto, in particular, spent many hours in prayer and adoration, consoling the "Hidden Jesus".
The main purpose of this initiative is to invite the whole catholic world to comply with Our Lady of Fatima's request to pray for peace the conversion of sinners and the reparation to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.
The World Apostolate of Fatima is inviting all its leaders in every nation to mark this day by associating with this project, promoting the recitation of the Rosary, moments of Adoration and the celebration of the Eucharist in their parishes, for this intention, united with Fatima. People can also participate simply by being spiritually united in prayer, from home, from work or from anywhere you are at on this day.
This event will be broadcasted live to the whole world, between 8.00 pm to 9.00 pm (local Portuguese time) through social media and social-networks, to the whole world. More than 40 countries have already registered to be part of this prayer network. Please join in this prayer initiative and visit www.materfatima.org or https://www.facebook.com/materfatima/ for more information.
The World Apostolate of Fatima in the Philippines is offering a 7-day Comprehensive Formation Program on August 11-18, 2019 at the Don Bosco Retreat House, Talisay City, Cebu, Philippines. This intensive program is open to the leaders of the Fatima Apostolate in the Philippines as well as from any other country.
This initiative comes in line with the thrust and top priority of the World Apostolate of Fatima which is "the formation of leaders, lay people and families according to the ever relevant and ever urgent Message of Fatima", and is also the first fruit of the 3rd WAF Asian Congress which was held in February, at Calcutta, India.
The Formation Program of the Basic Seminar, developed in two main modules, will cover various topics, both about the catechetical elements of the Message of Fatima and about the communication skills of leaders.
The need for formation in the Apostolate is also a direct answer to Our Lady's instruction to the three shepherd children when she said to on June 13, 1917: "I want you to learn to read…". The leaders of the World Apostolate of Fatima must be fully equipped with the knowledge of the Message so that they can in turn properly evangelize and teach others to heed Our Lady's call at Fatima.
On February 20, the liturgical Feast of Saints Francisco and Jacinta Marto, the two little shepherd children of Fatima, is celebrated. The devotion to these new saints is increasing all around the world and there are many parishes and prayer groups commemorating this Feast date with some liturgical celebration.
As an example, the Shrine of Fatima in Valenzuela City, Philippines, has prepared for this year a three day program in honour of St. Francisco and St. Jacinta, including the veneration of their relics and some other devotional moments.
At the Shrine of Fatima, in Portugal, the program includes a vigil on the 19th, with the prayer of the rosary, candlelight procession and veneration of the Saints at their tombs. The celebration continues on the 20th with the prayer of the rosary in the Little Chapel of the Apparitions, followed by the procession with the icons of St. Francisco and St. Jacinta towards the Basilica of the Most Holy Trinity, where Holy Mass will be celebrated. During the afternoon, also in the Basilica of the Most Holy Trinity, there will be an encounter with the children for a catechesis.
The 'Day of the Little Shepherds Francisco and Jacinta Marto´, will also be commemorated, for the first time, as a municipal holiday, in Juranda, city of the Diocese of Campo Mourão, in Paraná, Brazil, where Lucas, the child of the miracle that opened way to the canonization of the two children, lives.
Francisco Marto was born in Aljustrel, Fatima, on June 11, 1908, and his sister Jacinta Marto was born in the same locality, on March 11, 1910. In their humble family, the children learned to know and to praise God and the Virgin Mary. In 1916, they saw three times an Angel and in 1917, they saw six times the Blessed Virgin Mary, asking them to pray and to make penance for the conversion of sinners and to obtain peace in the world. Both, immediately, wanted to answer with all their strength, to these exhortations. More and more inflamed in the love to God and to the souls, they had only one aspiration: to pray and to suffer according to the requests from the Angel and the Blessed Virgin Mary. Francisco died on April 4, 1919 and Jacinta on February 20, 1920. Pope Saint John Paul II travelled to Fatima on May 13, 2000, in order to beatify the two children. Pope Francis came to Fatima on May 13, 2017, during the Centenary of the Apparitions, and canonized the two first non-martyr children in the history of the Church.
From the 3rd to the 5th of February 2019, the World Apostolate of Fatima, as part of their formation program, held in Calcutta, India, its third Asian regional congress. The selected theme was "...God wishes to establish in the world devotion to My Immaculate Heart..." (Our Lady of Fatima, 13 July 1917): "Into the abode of the Immaculate Heart of Mary with St Teresa of Calcutta". The 10th Indian National Meet of the Apostolate was also celebrated together with this congress.
The majority of the delegates and observers arrived in Calcutta on the 2nd of February, First Saturday of the month and Feast of the Presentation of the Lord. In the evening, there was a candlelight procession from Don Bosco's Nitika, reciting the Holy Rosary and then celebrating the Holy Mass, presided by Msgr. Thomas D' Souza, the Archbishop of Calcutta. Among the participants, there were Prof. Americo Pablo Lopez Ortiz, WAF international President, from Puerto Rico; Mr. Nuno Prazeres, director of the International Secretariat at Fatima, Portugal and other guests from Sri Lanka, Philippines, South Korea and also from Oman. From India, there were 32 delegates, 40 observers, including 17 Priests and 5 nuns, from various dioceses. Four bishops have also attended the congress at different timings.
The Shrine of Fatima, on the 1st of December, presented the theme for the new pastoral year 2018/2019. The chosen theme is: "Time of grace and mercy: to give thanks to pilgrimage in Church".
The session started with the opening of the new temporary exhibition dedicated to the centennial of the construction of the little chapel of the apparitions. This exhibition can be visited until October 15th, 2019, on the lower level of the Basilica of the Most Holy Trinity.
The Rector of the Shrine, Fr. Carlos Cabecinhas, introduced the theme by emphasizing that during this year we shall reflect more on the experience of being Church, a pilgrim Church and on the meaning of the pilgrimage itself. In 2019, there will be the celebration of two centenaries that are quite relevant in the context of the Shrine of Fatima and its mission: the 100 years of the construction of the little chapel of the apparitions and also the centennial of the death of Saint Francisco Marto, on April 4th, 2019.


Rye Smiles for Life Coordinating Care with Physicians.
Current literature suggests that patients who harbor certain pathogenic bacteria in their mouths at the time of joint replacement surgery may be at an increased risk for infections following such surgery. At Rye Smiles for Life, we are now able to test patients for clinical or sub-clinical oral infections using DNA/PCR testing. The specificity of the test measures the pathogenic bacteria types and load, thus allowing for a possible risk assessment for complications after surgery.
If the pathogenic bacteria are present we will render treatment to reduce or clear the bacterial infection prior to surgery date. The noninvasive salivary test is easy to perform, affordable and has a quick turnaround time for test results.
In the past we had to rely primarily on visible signs of infection to determine the oral health status of an individual. We now have the ability to validate oral health through clinical laboratory testing, which provides a more accurate assessment of the oral health status of the individual.
As a service to our patients, with the ultimate goal of creating the healthiest oral environment possible to support positive surgical outcomes, we are now happy to contact our patients' physicians to provide them information about our patients' oral health and indicators related to their overall health. We provide this service only at the request of our patients. This coordination is critical for patients with conditions like heart disease or diabetes as well as those preparing for surgery.
If you have concerns about your dental and overall health and have questions about the relationship between the two, contact us at Rye Smiles for Life by calling (703) 565-2503.
