After the last of our three dogs died in March 2020, I felt their absence in my body. We had adopted them when our twins were in middle school. For 14 years, we were a family of seven. Now, everyone in New York had to shelter at home, and my husband and I found ourselves shut in, our grief ghosting throughout the house.
Our sons, who are now in their 20s, left their apartments in the city to stay with us in our wooded suburb. They helped mitigate my sorrow. Now and again, I talked about adopting a new dog––I didn't want to be without one––but my husband likened the idea to getting married within a few months after losing a spouse. It was an act of betrayal.
I told myself to wait, be patient. I told myself that with so much suffering in the news, some of it raging, we had what we needed. I cooked and cleaned for my family. I worked, correcting proofs for a book that was to be published, and, to tap into joy, I danced on Zoom.
My husband was no longer going to work. The indoor tennis facility where he teaches had closed. He spent most of his time on the phone, figuring out what to do with his father, who was suffering from dementia and living in an assisted living facility in Los Angeles. As such places were becoming hot spots, he wanted his stepmother to bring his father back to their house. She refused. In April, he died of Covid-19, and we joined the thousands of others who couldn't sit by a loved one and say good-bye.

His father had also been a dog lover. When he lived in New York, he'd visit us on the weekends, as happy to see our dog at the time, a German Shepherd mix, as he was to see any of us. He was in his 70s then, tall and slim, and he'd get down on his hands and knees to kiss the dog on her bed. She was aggressive around most people but, with my father-in-law, she'd close her eyes and lick him on the face, mirroring one of his strongest attributes, loyalty.
The love for a dog is as pure to a dog-owner as it is incomprehensible to a non-dog-owner. Perhaps because, as Sigrid Nunez writes in her novel The Friend, dogs "may, in their mute, unfathomable way, know us better than we know them."
We had adopted the Shepherd from a shelter in North Carolina where we were living as newlyweds. I brought an oversized Yorkie into the marriage, an impulsive $100 purchase from a cat store––the shop owner was selling off his dog's litter. My husband picked out the Shepherd, who was around 10 months old, because she reminded him of his ex-girlfriend's dog. I ignored the why. I wanted a second dog, though I would have chosen the one who bounced joyfully when we approached.
The Shepherd lay still in her cage and, later, slinked around our yard, carrying her beauty without a glimmer of confidence. She didn't warm up to our friends, and the one time we left her alone with our Yorkie, she tore a hole in his neck.
When, years later, she bit one of our 18-month-old twins, everyone thought we'd get rid of her, but the bite was superficial, and we, the fairly new parents, worried about the dog's fate. We forged ahead with extreme caution. We kept her away from the boys until they were old enough to respect her space, and, like magic, she fell in love with them. But we never left her alone with our Yorkie again.
After the death of his father, my husband grew quieter. I hoped he might be ready to save another dog. I flooded his inbox with photos of shelter puppies, and, within a week, he gave in. Puppies were in demand, a positive for rescue organizations. I filled out several applications, always too late for the dog we wanted.
Late one night, I received a notification about two new puppies in Texas, but I was too tired to fill out the application. My husband offered to do it. They were older puppies, sisters at a shelter in Bandera County. In a video on the rescue site, the two girls looked timid, one hiding behind the other. They were, at four or five months old, believed to be from an unwanted litter, the mother a black Labrador, the father a Great Pyrenees.
The next morning, we were surprised to get a call from the shelter confirming our willingness to take both. My husband said yes. I said yes, only to question myself out loud: Should we really get both? They're so big. Yes, my sons said. It'll be fine once they're here, my husband said. As he seemed calm––and I longed for him to feel lighter––I set aside my doubts. When we learned that all transports to our area were booked until June, I started worrying again: the longer a dog lives in a shelter the harder it can be to knead out tough behavioral knots. I thought of our Shepherd.
We have more than two acres surrounded by a deer fence and, two years ago, we had gardens planted. The gardener had been to our house just a couple of weeks before the new puppies were scheduled to arrive. Flowers abounded like colorful fairies, grasses like silk feathers. We also have meadows in need of curating, where hundreds of black-eyed susans were beginning to bloom. The puppies would have room to roam.
In early June, we drove for an hour to the large parking lot of a closed shopping center. Several rescue vans came and went while we waited for ours. My husband and I watched families pick up dogs of all ages and sizes. Everyone wore masks, eyes alone registering anticipation and delight.
After our transport arrived, a woman led two tall, skinny black puppies out of the van. They were frightened, and one tried to hide under the van. The woman slipped on the collars we'd brought with us. When the two wouldn't get into our car, my husband scooped one up while I picked up the other, thinking how light she was for such a big puppy. I sat in the back with them, where, exhausted, they put their heads on my lap.
They came with the names Secret and Sadie. We kept Secret's name. From the beginning, she was friendly and confident, while Sadie (whom we renamed Ila) was more apprehensive. Secret has the profile of a Weimaraner, her head sleek, her body long, her chest marked by a small white star. Ila is also long-bodied and long-legged, but her head is shaped more like a Labrador's, and her chest is marked by a big white patch.
Ila's insecurities quickly became evident. She rarely wagged her tail, and barked at our friends when they came to visit us. She became attached to me and once growled at my husband when he approached. Taken aback, he said he felt a little nervous that she might bite him. His anxiety intensified as the puppies became friskier, prancing and galloping like ponies through the gardens and meadows. What were we thinking? I asked friends. How could I have forgotten how puppies behave?
I suggested we build a dog pen, an unexpected expense. In the pen, the puppies dug holes and unearthed bottles, golf balls, stuffed animals, and a slew of unidentifiable objects. They discovered a wet area to poke around in, and I was sure they were about to dig up the skeletal remains of a deer or fox. After a tiny spring shot up from the spot one afternoon, I pictured an underground stream making way for a sinkhole.
Ila was the more erratic of the two, and my husband and sons said she was out of control. But they're puppies, I told them. We need to train them. I found a trainer willing to social distance with us in our yard. Knowing that private sessions would add up, I found a puppy class. The cost of rescue, I thought. Lucky we can manage.
We walked the dogs to and from the pen, and on trails in nature preserves. They pulled on their leashes. Sometimes I'd trip, unaccustomed to their strength––they were already 60 pounds and only seven months old. My husband, who's more than six feet tall, almost tripped. He said, I'm too old for this. I said, You're not that old, but I thought, We should have taken one dog, we're just too old for two.
During the day, I was too distracted to do any writing, which made me feel like someone I didn't know. At night, the puppies slept in the kitchen, in separate crates, both frightened of climbing the stairs to get to our bedroom. When our sons carried them up one evening to surprise us, they slept on the bed. Such new, big creatures. Rolling around, pressing their warmth against us. It's too soon, I thought, and I missed our three dogs. I felt disloyal to them.
In mid-July, the girlfriend of one of our sons came to live with us for two weeks. Did I know that Great Pyrenees are bred for protection? Yes, I'd read that, and Ila, not surprisingly, was excellent at it. She barked at our son's girlfriend whenever she came into a room. At least she's wagging her tail—that's a good sign, I said, which didn't reassure the girlfriend.
The barking drove us all crazy, and my husband and I fought. After the girlfriend left, quiet was restored. One morning, while the puppies lay nearby, I said to my husband, Isn't it something that, in all this darkness, we can give these two a new life? He was still, staring at them, and finally said yes.
A few months have now passed. The dogs have grown comfortable in their new life … our new life … the one we could have never predicted. We've watched Secret turn into a sock collector who moans softly while waiting for food. (Yes, they both have learned to sit and wait.)
As for Ila, she's always wagging her tail, and has a knack for finding a place to lie with a pillow for her head. And she adores my husband. He didn't get flustered when they chewed up the bench cushions and trampled the rest of the gardens after we––after I––decided to let them roam. It was, after all, the last days of August, and fall was around the corner.
A dog can sense a fast heartbeat, smell fear. A dog can be a barometer of our equanimity. As the dogs continue to reveal themselves, we also recognize small shifts in our own behaviors after so much isolation. Today, amidst the flattened hostas, we planted daffodil and tulip bulbs in the gardens. We still have many more to plant.
For some reason, the task, one I've never enjoyed, is bringing me into a place of hope. My husband digs the holes, I drop in the bulbs, cover them up. Not a fair share of labor, but we're relaxed, working together and, so far, the dogs have left the bulbs alone.
They're lying on the deck, calm, eyes on us.
I think of Anne Carson's poem, The Glass Essay, where she refers to Emily Brontë as the "whacher" (Brontë's spelling):
Whacher is what she was…
She whached eyes, stars, inside, outside, actual weather.
She whached the bars of time, which broke.
She whached the poor core of the world,
wide open.
They're beautiful animals, Secret and Ila. They're watching us resurface.

Air conditioners are built to endure precipitation, like rain and snow. However, if your outdoor air conditioner is immersed in standing water from a long downpour, this might severely damage the electrical components in it. Your cooling is most likely to be damaged if the floodwater reaches a foot deep. Still, if the system has flooded at all, contact Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning at 239-908-6991 for an air conditioning inspection.
If extreme flooding has occurred or is likely to take place, follow these directions to avoid harming your HVAC system or creating dangerous operating conditions.
Don't cover your air conditioner with a tarp. A plastic sheet won't repel water. Instead, it will draw moisture inside, encourage rust, cause mold growth and give critters a place to hide.
If you live in a flood-prone area, research installing your air conditioner on an elevated floor. This elevates the machinery above any floodwaters and can save you stress and expense after the next downpour.
Another approach to safeguard your air conditioning unit is to install a retaining wall around it. This structure can stop air conditioner flooding, even as water surges around it. Similarly, you can place sandbags around the equipment when you realize a storm is coming.
If hail is predicted, you can place boards of plywood across the top of the air conditioner to guard it from hail damage. Weigh the wood down securely with stones or bricks in case the wind gets stronger.
Don't use your system while it's surrounded by water. Doing so may create an electrical shock hazard or possibly ruin the internal system components.
To prevent this damage, disconnect the power to the air conditioning and thermostat. The quickest method for completing this is to locate the HVAC and thermostat breakers in your junction box and turn them to the "off" position. If you require help, call an air conditioning service company like Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning.
Once the rain eases off, you want your air conditioner to dry out quickly. Draw away standing water, if possible, and pick up any debris from the immediate area.
Don't start the air conditioner until it has been inspected by an HVAC technician. Even after it has dried out, utilizing flood-damaged equipment can pose the same hazards as turning on the air conditioning while it's still under the water. Some issues need days or weeks to begin having symptoms, so it's wise to keep your air conditioner turned off until you receive the go-ahead from an HVAC professional.
While you wait for your appointment, read through your homeowner's insurance policy to see if flood damage secures your outdoor AC system. If so, take pictures of the damage and process your claim as soon as possible. If you don't have flood insurance, you could still be covered if the unit has suffered wind or hail damage.
For a thorough air conditioning inspection and safety check today.

I cross-posed our piece at DailyKos yesterday on the Galveston County jail's decision to not evacuate 1,000 inmates despite a mandatory evacuation order for the city and warnings that those who remained in the area faced "certain death."
The story became a top-ranked diary and has so far generated 585 comments. It also inspired some grassroots journalism, with contributor IngeniousGirl getting in touch with one of the Galveston deputies and delivering this report:
I just talked to the Deputy on duty at the jail, yes they do answer the phone, and they are all ok ... I grilled the Deputy very hard, and she was professional.
If true, that's reassuring news. Facing South is still waiting to hear back from Texas officials we have contacted for comment, including Texas Attorney General Greg Abbot.
What isn't reassuring is that IngeniousGirl's report confirms that the Galveston County jail inmates and staff were NOT evacuated in the face of deadly Category 2 hurricane and were somehow exempted from the mandatory evacuation in place for the area.
In other words, Galveston officials -- specifically, the sheriff who apparently had authority -- deliberately placed the inmates and staff in harm's way.
As I noted yesterday, this directly violates the United Nations human rights standards regarding those affected by natural disasters [pdf], which has strong language about protecting the rights of those who are incarcerated. It also stipulates that there cannot be discrimination in the hurricane response -- for example, evacuating one group and leaving another in harm's way.
It's also reminiscent of the horrible treatment of inmates in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. Jordan Flaherty described the situation New Orleans:
When Hurricane Katrina hit, there was no evacuation plan for the 7,000 prisoners in Orleans Parish Prison, the New Orleans city jail, generally known as OPP, or the approximate 1,500 prisoners in nearby jails. According to first-hand accounts gathered by advocates, prisoners were abandoned in their cells while the water was rising around them. They were subjected to a heavily armed "rescue" by state prison guards that involved beatings, mace and being left in the sun with no water or food for several days, followed by a transfer to state maximum security prisons. Although their treatment brought national attention to the condition of prisoners in Louisiana, and comparison to prison abuse scandals from Attica to Abu Ghraib, local government officials have attempted to dodge accountability and continue with business as usual.
Apparently we didn't learn after Katrina.

Inspired by their students, professors at the University of British Columbia are set to begin voting next week on whether to ask the institution to divest its $1.2-billion endowment of any oil and gas stocks.
Last month, Concordia became the first Canadian university to commit to divesting when it took $5-million out of its $130-million endowment to see whether it could get comparable returns from socially responsible and environmentally sustainable investments. But campaign organizers at UBC say their institution could play a pivotal role in the Canadian movement by divesting of roughly $100-million at a time when slumping oil prices mean the move makes financial sense.
George Hoberg, an energy and environmental policy professor, is spearheading the campaign to persuade his colleagues to vote in an online referendum that starts Jan. 26 and ends Feb. 8. Twenty per cent of UBC's professors, librarians and program directors need to vote in the referendum, with a majority in favour of the divestment proposal, for the request to be formally sent to the board of governors for consideration some time this spring.
"We need to act now," said Dr. Hoberg. "This issue is particularly powerful [for professors] because we teach young people and we ought to be acting in their interests."
Last January, 77 per cent of student voters asked UBC's board of governors to divest from fossil fuels. As a result, the board implemented a new "responsible investment policy." It didn't commit to moving any money, but allowed for future divestment from particular sectors if two of the university's core constituencies – staff, faculty, alumni and students – supported for the move.
With the student vote in hand, Dr. Hoberg hopes a vote in favour of divestment by faculty will force the board to make the endowment free of fossil fuels.
UBC's $1.3-billion endowment is the country's second biggest after the University of Toronto's $1.5-billion portfolio, but its fossil-fuel investments more than double those of any other Canadian university, according to a report released last month by the Sustainable and Education Policy Network (SEPN). That report identified 27 active Canadian postsecondary divestment campaigns across six provinces, with 10 in Ontario and eight in British Columbia.
Most are led by student clubs allied with 350.org, a global environmental group that claimed last year to have persuaded 800 individual investors, cities, religious groups, universities and even the heirs to the Rockefeller oil fortune to divest a total of about $50-billion from fossil fuel investments over the next five years. For now, 350.org and its allies know theirs is largely a symbolic movement, as total stock in the world's oil, gas and coal companies was still valued at nearly $5-trillion, according to a report in August by Bloomberg New Energy Finance.
Still, Wayne Wachell, chief executive officer and co-founder of Genus Capital Management, said clients of his firm first began asking to go "fossil fuel free" about two years ago and now such investments account for about 10 per cent of Genus' $1.3-billion portfolio.
"What's happening is a lot of foundations are concerned about their brand," said Mr. Wachell, who is scheduled to speak at a faculty-only event on the UBC referendum this Thursday night. "If they're in environmental areas, they have to really be careful about what they have in their portfolios."
Fossil-fuel stocks make up about 30 per cent of the Canadian stock market, which itself is less than 5 per cent of the global equity markets, Mr. Wachell said. He added that these fossil-fuel-free funds are invested heavily in banks, industrial and technology companies and are as profitable as Genus' global benchmark.
SEPN director Dr. Marcia McKenzie, an environmental education professor at the University of Saskatchewan, said divestment sends an important message to the oil and gas industry, but that universities might have a bigger net impact on climate change by addressing energy waste on their own campuses. Scandinavian universities have had success setting up revolving funds that put money into initiatives such as retro-fitting older buildings with more energy-efficient heating systems , Dr. McKenzie said.
Dr. Hoberg studied the science of global warming as a university student and then researched how it contributed to B.C.'s pine beetle infestation as a professor, but he was finally spurred into speaking out when he saw global warming activist and 350.org co-founder Bill McKibben present at a UBC symposium three years ago.
"Someone was asking McKibben, 'Doesn't becoming an activist undermine your credibility as a researcher and academic?' " Dr. Hoberg recalls. "McKibben's response was: 'This is the most significant problem humanity has ever confronted, what are you saving your credibility for?'
"For a number a number of people in the room that was like a punch to the gut."

What should I know about artistic research?
We recommend to have a look at our collection of literature and projects of artistic research in order to get some orientation about the following questions:
- What is / or could be artistic research?
- What is / was / could be artistic research at mdw?
- How would I position my dissertation project in this context?
This should help you to develop a good application for your dissertation.
Guidance regarding dissertation projects and possible supervisors
In general, the artistic doctorate program of mdw is open to any kind of music or performing arts discipline represented at mdw (composition, instrumental music, music pedagogy, theater, film, …). Disciplines can also be connected in transdisciplinary approaches with, on one hand, other art forms, and, on the other hand, scholarly research and science at mdw (like musicology, ethnomusicology, music therapy, music sociology, cultural studies, gender studies, acoustics).
An overview of the art disciplines represented at the university can be gained using the list of institutes and the programmes of study.
A dissertation project is supervised by a team of at least three professionally qualified persons who cover the range of content of the project. Experts outside the mdw can also be part of the team, yet, at least one person must hold a venia docendi (professorship, habilitation) at the mdw. Applicants have the right to express wishes regarding possible supervisors. Nevertheless the definition of a supervising team does not necessarily have to happen before the admission exam.
Application Process
For application please turn to http://online.mdw.ac.at

After more than 17 years serving the City of Anacortes Public Works Director Fred Buckenmeyer has announced his retirement effective shortly after the first of the coming year.
Over that time, he shared he has appreciated the many things that make our local community great; the people who live here, the goods and services from businesses within the city, the open space, and amenities everyone can enjoy, and the sense of safety throughout the City. The services and work performed by the Public Works Department are no exception. Buckenmeyer began working for the City in September 2004 and under his threshold, Fred leads a dynamic group of 75 professionals and oversees the following divisions: Wastewater, Water Treatment Plant System and Water Distribution, Engineering Services, Facilities, GIS and asset management, Operations (street, solid waste, and fleet), and Resource Conservation.
Fred Buckenmeyer said, "After nearly 40 years of public service, it is time for me to let someone else enjoy this job as much as I do. The City of Anacortes is absolutely the best place I have ever worked and serving as your Public Works Director has been the most rewarding job I have ever had."
"Anacortes has benefited greatly from Fred's leadership," Mayor Laurie Gere said. "Fred has worked tirelessly to maintain and improve our city's infrastructure. His efforts to maintain high service levels, excellent public facilities and to make Anacortes a better place for its residents will not soon be forgotten. We will all miss his energy, professional leadership, and innovative approach to complex problems."
Mr. Buckenmeyer will remain with the city until his successor is named. The City will begin recruiting for the Director of Public Works in the near future

There were those who believed it would never happen, but as we know, "only a Sith deals in absolutes." Star Wars fans were able to check another box off their wish list Thursday with the news of an Obi-Wan Kenobi series on the upcoming streaming service Disney+.
Long desired and rumored, the Obi-Wan project marks the third live-action Star Wars series for Disney+, following the announcements of The Mandalorian and the as-yet-untitled Cassian Andor series. Ewan McGregor is set to reprise the role, originated by Alec Guinness in 1977, for the fourth time. Although the wise Jedi master hasn't been seen on film since Revenge of the Sith (2005), the gaps in Obi Wan's story have already begun filling in on the small screen within the canon series Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars: Rebels. And Star Wars novels and comics have woven together a relatively comprehensive narrative. But as we've come to learn with Star Wars, there are always more stories to be told. Short of a live-action adaptation of Kenobi's adventures existing in animation and on the page, what can we expect the Disney+ series to explore?
While details are scarce due to the project being in the early stages of development, it's presumed that McGregor's Obi-Wan reprisal will center on the character sometime after the events of Revenge of the Sith. It's not inconceivable to think that, given the massive budgets Disney+ has set for their series, that we could see some de-aging effects done on McGregor in order to explore his early days as a Jedi apprentice, but exploring the Jedi's lost days and transition into a hermit on Tatooine seem more compelling both narrative- and performance-wise.
So what has Star Wars' multimedia canon told us about Kenobi's days following Order 66? As explored in the novel Ahsoka (2016) by E.K. Johnston, set 18 years before A New Hope, Kenobi spent much of his time mediating on the Force during his early days of exile and communing with the Force spirit of Qui-Gon Jinn, who convinces him to let go of his attachments. Kenobi becomes a monk-like figure, keeping a distant eye on the young Luke Skywalker. While Luke's uncle Owen Lars forbade Kenobi from interacting with Luke, Kenobi kept a set of journals to impart on the young Skywalker for his future training. In these journals, the first of which was revealed in Jason Aaron and Simone Bianchi's Star Wars No. 7: From the Journals of Old Ben Kenobi: "The Last of His Breed" (2015), Kenobi describes his battles against the growing threat of gangster Jabba the Hutt, who was extorting denizens with a water tax during a drought. Jabba, suspecting it was Owen Lars who fought back against his mob, sent the Wookie bounty hunter Black Krrsantan after him, leading Kenobi to defend Lars and ignite his lightsaber for the first time in years, as seen in Star Wars No. 20 (2016) by Jason Aaron and Mike Mayhew. Within these journal entries, set about a decade before A New Hope, Kenobi becomes something of a gunslinger figure. The series could easily take place within this time period and follow Kenobi dealing with the growing crime of Mos Eisley while struggling to keep his Jedi past concealed in a reworking of Unforgiven (1992).
There's an eight-year gap between Kenobi's battle against Black Krrsantan and his next appearance, two years before A New Hope. In the Star Wars Rebels episode "Twin Suns," Darth Maul, who had returned during Star Wars: Clone Wars, journeys to Tatooine exact his revenge upon Kenobi. The episode marks the final battle between the two old foes and Obi-Wan strikes Maul down, and burns his body on a funeral pyre in a show of respect for the last remnant of his old life. There are perhaps few things as appealing for the Obi-Wan series as the possibility of seeing Kenobi and Maul battle once again. But does the canon permit a new story between the adversaries to be told? In the episode, Kenobi refers to Maul as his persistent foe. This could apply to The Clone Wars, but it's possible that Kenobi and Maul had another meeting, or several, in the 17 years between their last duel in The Clone Wars and their final battle in Rebels. We already know from Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018) that Maul resurfaced as the leader of Crimson Dawn 10 years before A New Hope. His ties to the crime syndicate and Qi'ra (Emilia Clarke) are too significant of developments within the Star Wars universe not to follow up on.
While it's always been assumed that Kenobi spent all of his time in exile in Tatooine, perhaps that isn't the case. The events of Kenobi's journals and Solo take place around the same time. It's plausible that Kenobi's disruption of Jabba's criminal operation attracted the attention of a larger crime syndicate run by Maul. Instead of the series simply being a Tatooine-set tale inspired by Unforgiven, Kenobi could travel off-world and dismantle Crimson Dawn. Essentially, we could see an Obi-Wan-takes-on-the-mob tale akin to The Untouchables (1987) that not only gives fans a chance to see Kenobi and Maul battle in live-action again, but also ties up the loose ends of Solo. An Obi-Wan series that features McGregor, Clarke and Sam Witwer as Darth Maul seems like the kind of duel of fates fans would jump to lightspeed in order to witness.

A rambo-like Sergeant goes against a terrorist organisation led by Abu Jihad (!) in Death Before Dishonor, a patriotic American action romp taking place somewhere in Middle East.
Despite all the action, the overall feeling of the movie is oddly tame. The movie tries to push all the best buttons to the best of its abilities, but the end result always seems to fall far behind expected.
I expected to lift up a few strengths of the movie to this last paragraph, but honestly can't think of anything that would stand above average – and that is probably the biggest downside of the whole film.

Top Prospects roster positions finalized
The North American Hockey League (NAHL) has announced the number of players that will represent each team at next month's Top Prospects Tournament, which will be held from Feb. 20-22 at the Ice Cube in Ann Arbor, Mich., along with the teams' coaches.
The number of players each NAHL team can to send to the tournament, in which four teams - Team Central, Team North, Team South and Team West - will play a three-game round robin, is based on each team's winning percentage within their division as of Jan. 17.
In the Central Division, the Bismarck Bobcats (.652) and Coulee Region Chill (.629) will send four players each; the Owatonna Express (.622) and Alexandria Blizzard (.545) will send three each; and the Aberdeen Wings (.386) and Austin Bruins (.379) will send two.
In the North Division, the St. Louis Bandits (.750) and Janesville Jets (.653) will send four players each; the Motor City Metal Jackets (.632), Traverse City North Stars (.621), Michigan Warriors (.621) and Springfield Jr. Blues (.500) will send three each; and the Chicago Hitmen (.286) and Port Huron Fighting Falcons (.076) will send two.
In the South Division, the Topeka RoadRunners (.743) and Texas Tornado (.729) will send four players each; the Amarillo Bulls (.712) and Wichita Falls Wildcats (.514) will send three each; and the Corpus Christi IceRays (.432) and New Mexico Mustangs (.300) will send two.
In the West Division, the Fairbanks Ice Dogs (.676) and Alaska Avalanche (.607) will send four players each; the Wenatchee Wild (.605) and Kenai River Brown Bears (.527) will send three each; and the Fresno Monsters (.417) and Dawson Creek Rage (.359) will send two.
With the two highest winning percentages in the NAHL after the games of Jan. 17, both the Bandits and RoadRunners are allowed to send one additional player to the event.
The head coach of the team with the highest winning percentage in each division as of Jan. 17 will serve as the head coach of the Top Prospects team representing that division. The head coach with the second-highest winning percentage will serve as the team's assistant coach.
Bobcats head coach Layne Sedevie will serve as the head coach for Team Central, with Chill head coach Garrett Strot serving as the assistant coach; RoadRunners head coach Scott Langer will lead Team South, with Tornado head coach Tony Curtale assisting; Ice Dogs head coach Josh Hauge will be the head coach of Team West, with Alaska head coach Brian Huebel assisting; and Bandits head coach Jeff Brown will serve as the head coach of Team North, with Jets head coach Dane Litke serving as the assistant coach.
All NAHL players are eligible to participate, regardless if they're committed or un-committed to a Division I school or participated in the NAHL's first Top Prospects Tournament of the season, which was held from Dec. 5-7 in Walpole, Mass.
Each team will consist of a 20-man roster, with minor player crossover amongst the four teams.
The rosters, which will be chosen by the NAHL Top Prospects Tournament Selection Committee, will be announced on Monday, Jan. 24.
In conjunction with the Top Prospects Tournament, all North American Prospects Hockey League (NAPHL) teams - Midget Major, Midget Minor and Bantam Major - will compete in the Championship Tournament Series for the right to be crowned league champions. That event will run from Feb. 18-21 at the Troy Sports Center in Troy, Mich., with the three division championship games being played at the Ice Cube.
The North American 3 Hockey League (NA3HL) will also have representation at the Top Prospects Tournament, as two NA3HL all-star teams will compete against each other at the event. The NA3HL will also extend invitations to other USA Hockey-sanctioned Tier III Junior A leagues to participate with all-stars teams.

New and Livelier!
A box set of colored inks arrived this week in the snail mail we have here called 4/72, meaning that Colombia is located 4 degrees of north latitutde and 72 degrees of west longitude. The inks go by the name of Dr. PH Martin´s and brother are they strong colors! Don´t you think so? Of course I had to give them a trial run and this work on quarter sheets of Arches heavy weight cotton paper, a work I dubbed Enfoldening Universes. The image really brings out the brightness of the universe. After all, who needs a dull and boring universe in which to live? This one features daffodil yellows and lemon greens from center to edge. I have seen multiple universes thanks to the Hubble Telescope but I don´t remember seeing anything quite this lively! Have you?

2 dead after head-on crash on Highway 310 near Fromberg
Associated Press
FROMBERG — A head-on collision in south-central Montana has claimed the lives of two people.
The Montana Highway Patrol says the accident occurred just before 8 a.m. Thursday on state Highway 310 near Fromberg in Carbon County.
KULR-TV in Billings reports a child was also injured in the crash and transported to St. Vincent Healthcare with broken bones.
Names of the victims were not immediately released.
Trooper Brandon Timm says a red pickup was traveling northbound when the vehicle crossed over the center line and struck a white Ford pickup head-on traveling the opposite direction.
Timm said it's unclear why the red pickup crossed the center line.
The accident remains under investigation.

CAS 6893-02-3 T3 / 3,3',5- Triiodo - L- thyronine Muscle Gain Steroids T3 in White pills
Basic information:
L-Triiodothyronine, also known as T3, is a thyroid hormone. It affects almost every physiological process in the body, including growth and development, metabolism, body temperature, and heart rate.
Production of T3 and its prohormone thyroxine (T4) is activated by thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), which is released from the pituitary gland. This pathway is regulated via a closed-loop feedback process: Elevated concentrations of T3, and T4 in the blood plasma inhibit the production of TSH in the pituitary gland. As concentrations of these hormones decrease, the pituitary gland increases production of TSH, and by these processes, a feedback control system is set up to regulate the amount of thyroid hormones that are in the bloodstream.
As the true hormone, the effects of T3 on target tissues are roughly four times more potent than those of T4. Of the thyroid hormone that is produced, just about 20% is T3, whereas 80% is produced as T4. Roughly 85% of the circulating T3 is later formed in the thyroid by removal of the iodine atom from the carbon atom number five of the outer ring of T4. In any case, the concentration of T3 in the human blood plasma is about one-fortieth that of T4. This is observed in fact because of the short half-life of T3, which is only 2.5 days. This compares with the half-life of T4, which is about 6.5 days.
Cytomel (T3) does speed fat loss. As a guideline, for most 12.5 mcg/day is a conservative "supplement" sort of dosing that seems to have no detectable adverse effect on thyroid function at all. 25 mcg/day is a "supplement" sort of dosing that does have some inhibitory effect. 50mcg/day is a reasonably conservative bb'ing sort of dose that, of course, is more inhibitory. 75mcg/day is getting into more of a problem area; 100 mcg/day in many cases leads to loss of muscle size and strength.
These doses are in reference to legit T3 provided in tablets such as Cytomel. Liquid formulations are usually unstable and as a result, the above numbers in many cases won't match up to experiences with liquid products, or for that matter, experience with a liquid product at one time may not match up with experience at a different time, due to the stability problem.
Individuals do vary in this but 100 mcg/day is very often quite weakening and muscle-catabolic.So far as wanting more rapid fat loss than what is achieved with 50 mcg/day, personally I'd look elsewhere than adding more T3.
In this way ,Liothyronine sodium, the goal is to achieve an ongoing edge in fat loss or to help maintain a near-personally-ideal body composition . In this approach , T3 dosing is very low , preferably 12.5 mcg/day but in some cases as much as 25 mcg/day. At the lower end of this range , typically thyroid testing will show no detectable suppression even with prolonged use . At the higher end , moderate suppression is sometimes seen , but results are superior to when T3 is not taken , and the suppression reverses rapidly upon discontinuing T3 use .
In the other way ,Liothyronine sodium, the goal is to achieve a quite substantial increase in rate of fat loss , at the known cost of inducing thyroid suppression . Most preferably the dosage is about 50 mcg/day , but in some instances can be as high as 75 mcg / day . Such use is preferably not ongoing, but only for a limited period of time such as 8-12 weeks , though there's no exact requirement for time frame .

The LG Portable Navigator LN740 is a good first effort from the company. Yet considering its low-resolution screen and weak speakers, you could definitely get more for your money with competing systems.
With its sleek, black-lacquered finish and compact size (4.5-inches wide by 3.5-inches high by 0.7-inch deep; 7 ounces), the LG Portable Navigator LN740 is a good-looking portable navigation system. The GPS receiver is integrated into the device, so there's no added bulk on the back of the unit or need to flip up a patch antenna to get a GPS fix.
On paper, the LN740's touch screen looks like a dream but in reality, it's a bit of a disappointment. It measures a wide 4 inches diagonally and displays 260,000 hues at a 320x240 pixel resolution. With that type of color output and screen quality, you'd expect sharp, vibrant maps, but this is not the case. While readable, the screen appeared grainy and pixelated and colors seemed washed out when viewed in direct sunlight. We adjusted the viewing angle and tweaked the brightness settings, which helped a little, but not enough to compete with TomTom's or Garmin's sharp displays. The touch screen, however, was responsive and the interface user-friendly and intuitive.
While the touch screen handles most of the main controls, you can adjust the volume and return to the device's main menu with dedicated controls that sit to the right of the display. There is a mini-USB port as well as a SD expansion slot on the left spine, while the right houses the power button, traffic antenna jack, and power connector. One notable omission we discovered was a headphone jack. The LN740 does offer music playback capabilities and a "pedestrian" mode; while you probably wouldn't use the device as an MP3 player or handheld navigator, it would have been nice to have the option to plug in a pair of headphones for an improved audio experience.
The LN740 comes with a good assortment of accessories, including an AC adapter, a car charger, a vehicle mount (for the windshield and dash), a traffic antenna, a carrying pouch, a USB cable, a backup map disc, and other reference material. We were impressed by the number of goodies (LG includes more than most), and particularly appreciated the AC charger, carrying case, and traffic antenna, as these can cost upwards of $40 when purchased separately.
The LN740 is easy to install on the vehicle mount. We had some initial concerns about whether the adjustable arm could support the device's weight, but the cradle held the device securely in place even as we drove over bumpy roads. The setup for the traffic antenna is a bit awkward, as it involves running a wire along the windshield and attaching it via suction cups. The result isn't very pretty.
The LG Portable Navigator LN740 is equipped with a 20-channel SiRFstarIII GPS receiver and comes preloaded with Navteq maps covering North America. For everyday trips, you can go straight to the Map page and have the LN740 track your location as you cruise. Otherwise, you can plan a trip by entering a specific address, choosing a recently visited location, or selecting a destination from the My Places list. Entering addresses is easy, as the system quickly returns with possible results as soon as you start entering the first few letters of any city, state, or street. In addition, the LN740 supports multistop trips and offers a comprehensive points-of-interest database that includes some 7 million entries. This database includes major categories as well as more specific items, such as restaurants by cuisine, gas stations, ATMs, wineries, and parks--and will even include a phone number, if available.
The LN740 can create directions by shortest distance or fastest route, including or excluding toll roads, highways, or ferry ways. It also offers a "pedestrian" mode, if you wish to use the device while walking. Once the device has calculated a route, you can review a list of turn-by-turn text directions or get a route summary. We didn't find the summary helpful, as the level of detail is too superficial (a map overview with the highlighted route). If you don't agree with the provided directions or want to avoid part of the route, the device offers a reroute option as well as a detour function. What's more, LG provides a free 90-day subscription to Navteq's traffic services, so you can check to see if there is any congestion on your drive before you hit the road. To continue service after the complimentary period is up, you will have to pay $60 a year. The LN740 will also automatically recalculate the route if you happen to get off course.
Maps are presented in 2D or 3D and can automatically switch between colors representing day or night. A small on-screen diamond icon allows you to easily switch between the two map views; plus and minus signs located at the upper left and right corners of the screen let you zoom in or out. At the bottom of the screen, distance to and direction of your next move is displayed, along with current street name, speed, and estimated time of arrival. The street name of your next turn is listed at the top of the screen, which can be hard to read as it can sometimes blend in with the map. Fortunately, you don't have to rely on just visual prompts, as the LN740 also offers voice-guided directions with text-to-speech functionality. While the unit supports 16 languages, the text-to-speech capabilities are only available in English, Spanish, and French.
The one thing the LN740 lacks when compared to other systems in its class is integrated Bluetooth for hands-free calling. For better or worse, the LN740 does have music capabilities as well as a photo viewer that supports MP3 and WMA music files, as well as JPEG and BMP image formats.
We tested the LG Portable Navigator LN740 in San Francisco, and from a cold start, it took the unit a solid 10 minutes to get a GPS fix and pinpoint our location. We got a bit impatient during this time (especially since we were just sitting in the car), but fortunately, subsequent starts were almost instantaneous and the receiver did a great job of keeping a lock on our position as we drove throughout the city.
We planned a few trips: one from San Francisco to Tiburon, and another from the Marina district to CNET's downtown headquarters. Both times the LN740 provided us with accurate and efficient directions. Voice directions were hard to hear through the unit's weak speakers, and the text-to-speech instructions were robotic, mangling the pronunciation of some street names. Still, we'll absolutely take the awkward pronunciations over no text-to-speech at all. Route recalculations were quick enough to give us new directions before arriving at the next turn. The LG LN740's internal lithium ion battery is rated for up to 6 hours of continuous use.

2. The Sun and Moon Pagodas
- Key words: landmark of Shan Lake
- Location: in the middle of Shan Lake
The Sun and Moon Pagodas is the most representative landmark of the Two Rivers and Four Lakes scenic area. The bronze tower is called the Sun Pagoda while the glazed tower is called the Moon Pagoda. They stand there side by side, just like a romantic couple.

On the lightly floured surface, roll out about two thirds of the piecrust to a 13- to 14-inch circle and turn it into a 10-inch deep-dish pie plate.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup flour and cinnamon. Add the apples and toss together. Turn mixture into piecrust.
In a medium bowl, mix rolled oats, 1/4 cup brown sugar and 3 tablespoons flour. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle the oat mixture over the apple mixture.
Roll out remaining pastry and cut into 1/2-inch-wide strips. Weave over the top of the pie to form a lattice crust. (Jackie likes to make a flower with one strip and place on center.) Press ends of strips into crust rim. Fold bottom pastry over strips. Seal and crimp edge.
Brush the lattice top and crust with a mixture of the egg yolk and the water. To prevent overbrowning, cover the edge of the pie with aluminum foil.
Bake the pie in a 375 degree F oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes more or until filling is bubbly. Remove pie from oven and drizzle with caramel topping. Cool on a wire rack. Makes 8 to 10 servings.
Combine flour and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in shortening until pieces are pea size. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon water over part of the mixture and gently toss the mixture with a fork. Push the moistened dough to one side of the bowl. Repeat, using 1 tablespoon water at a time, until all of the dough is moistened. Divide into thirds.

Concert Venues Crowd Control Regulations
On November 5, 2021, Travis Scott performed a concert at the Astroworld Festival in Austin to a crowd of fifty thousand people. In the hour that he performed, eight people were killed in a deadly crowd crush (another concert goer losing their life days after), and hundreds were injured. Multiple lawsuits have been filed against Travis Scott himself, as well as the production companies that organized the show in response to the tragedy. In the wake of the devastating event, regulations concerning crowd control and management must also be considered, as well as whether these regulations were complied with by the organizers of Astroworld.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services ("CMS") released new guidance for skilled nursing facilities ("SNFs") as part of a larger rulemaking agenda for healthcare institutions in the throes of the current public health emergency with COVID-19. CMS has also detailed the fines for non-compliance with the new COVID-19 requirements for SNFs and other healthcare institutions such as hospitals and laboratories.
Public Health in the Court of Public Opinion: The Pacific Northwest's Vaccine Crisis
A measles outbreak that has affected 71 people in Washington and4 people in Oregon has ignited public health discourse over vaccinations. Vaccination rates in the Pacific Northwest are among the lowest in the nation. Both Washington and Oregon allow personal belief exemptions from immunizations for school-age children. The outbreak, which continues to spread, may lead Oregon and Washington to follow California's example of eliminating personal belief exemptions. Eliminating personal belief exemptions, however, may not be the panacea that lawmakers seek. The rise in medical exemptions for vaccines in California indicates the need for a comprehensive vaccination framework.
Proposed Public Charge Intended for Immigrants but will Impose on Health Care
Every time we turn on the news, someone is either talking about immigration reform or health care reform. Health care and immigration are two major areas that President Trump promised to address and is attempting to tackle within his first two years in office. Although most would not consider that these two issues would overlap, in today's American health care system, Americans need immigrants. Immigrants contribute a great deal to our medical research, make up a large percentage of our health care providers, and subsidize health insurance premiums.

An Overview of Illinois Public Act 100-0538 Compliance with the Hyde Amendment
Illinois Public Act 100-0538, commonly referred to as House Bill 40, was signed into law on September 28, 2017. The Act repeals provisions in existing Illinois laws that aim to make abortion illegal should there be any change to the federal standard. Additionally, the Act lifts a ban on insurance coverage for abortions for low-income individuals enrolled in Medicaid. While enacting House Bill 40 was a win for advocates of reproductive rights in Illinois, the state will still need to comply with federal anti-abortion laws, such as the Hyde Amendment.
Powdered Caffeine – Friend or Foe?
Most Americans consume caffeine regularly. High amounts of caffeine are found in a wide range of drinks including sodas, coffee, and energy drinks. Like most things, caffeine is safe for most people as long as it is consumed in moderation. The dosage size of powdered caffeine has come under scrutiny mostly due to its potency. The Food and Drug Administration has notified powdered caffeine distributors that their products are potentially dangerous to consumers as they have the possibility of causing serious adverse health consequences, including death. The FDA's notices required powdered caffeine distributors to accurately label and market their products ensuring they are in compliance with the law. Four of the five distributors removed their products from the market following the notices, and the fifth distributor no longer markets to consumers.
Dealing with 71 Medical Licensure Boards: American Doctors Trip Over State Lines
In April 2013, members of the Federation of State Medical Boards (FSMB) and the Council of State Governments (CSG) embarked on a venture to create the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact (the Compact or IMLC), a voluntary, expedited pathway to licensure for qualified physicians who wish to practice medicine in multiple states. On April 20, 2017, the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact Commission, (IMLCC) issued its first Interstate Medical License to a Wisconsin physician who applied to practice in Colorado, setting a groundbreaking precedent in medical licensure portability. While the IMLC is a great first step toward increasing access to healthcare by expanding licensure portability, this initiative faces multiple regulatory hurdles.
Insurance Plans and Opioids: Releasing and Raising the Barriers to Prescribe
With the opioid addiction epidemic continuing to rise in the United States, several insurance companies loosened the existing barriers to addiction treatment. Aetna Insurance Company joined Cigna and Anthem in removing key provisions in its insurance plans that require additional authorization prior to providing addiction treatment. At the same time, Cigna proposed to strengthen barriers to physician prescribing of opioids in an attempt to further address the opioid epidemic.

Chris Chibnall just dropped 9 brand-new Doctor Who teasers – here's what they might mean
The series showrunner gave the cryptic clues to new monsters, episodes, and characters in an exclusive piece for Radio Times
With the new series of Doctor Who only a few weeks away, the BBC is finally starting to lift the lid on the revamped version of the sci-fi classic, which has been shrouded in secrecy during its production for the last year or so.
Writing exclusively in Radio Times, series showrunner Chris Chibnall has dropped all sorts of hints for what people can expect from Jodie Whittaker's Thirteenth Doctor, culminating in a list of nine brand new cryptic clues for fans of the new series that are bound to get hearts (however many you have) racing.
- New Doctor Who composer revealed for Jodie Whittaker's first series
- Doctor Who: Everything we know about Jodie Whittaker's new Doctor
- When is Doctor Who back on TV?
"We've been working hard at staying quiet until now, in order that audiences aren't spoilt, and also so that our stories make it onto television in the most exciting way possible," Chibnall writes in the latest issue of Radio Times, available from Tuesday 18th September.
"But now we're getting excited about showing you Epzo, a life-changing bike ride, Robertson, the Ux, Umbreen, Rosa, Desolation, Kandoka's moon and Ribbons. All of these things are on their way…"
But what could all these hints mean? Well, we have a few ideas. First up, Rosa almost certainly refers to Rosa Parks, the civil rights pioneer whose iconic stand against segregation on a Monroeville bus has been a rumoured destination for this series of Doctor Who for months (and definitely lines up with some scenes shown in the series' trailer).
Meanwhile, some of the more unusual words he mentions – notably the Ux, and Epzo – could refer to the "all-new" rogues' gallery of aliens and monsters set to be battled by the Doctor and her friends this year (the Ux definitely sounds like some sort of new alien species, right?)
Alternatively, some of the names – we're thinking maybe Desolation? – could be intriguing new destinations for the Doctor's travels (OK, Desolation probably isn't the nicest holiday spot), along with the much less ambiguous Kandoka's moon. Five points to the first fan who matches up any of these names to the various environments we've seen in the series 11 trailer…
And then there's the other bits and bobs Chibnall hints at. Ribbons could be a nickname for a new creature or character, a deadly disease afflicting the universe or just be a stylish costuming choice for Bradley Walsh's character Graham.
Robertson and Umbreen are almost certainly new series characters – maybe one of the guest stars for the first couple of episodes that Chibnall also teases in Radio Times – while "a life-changing bike ride" must be some sort of offbeat comic interlude during an episode. Unless, of course, the Thirteenth Doctor really HAS lost her Tardis and ends up going on a gap year to find herself instead…
In the end, these hints give us as many questions as they do answers – when half of these hints just turn out to be human characters with unusual names, feel free to come back here and remind us how wrong we were. But maybe that's Chibnall's point...
More like this
What better way to keep the Doctor Who mystery alive than releasing JUST enough information to pique our interest again, but without the context that actually explains it? It's a devious trick worthy of the Ux themselves (unless they're nice, or not aliens at all).
