Editor's note: The following information comes from Chester County Department of Emergency Services.
With the possibility of Hurricane Sandy's arrival in the region in the next few days, Chester County emergency management officials strongly recommend preparation and planning by residents and businesses to potentially reduce damage. During a hurricane, homes and businesses, public buildings, roads and power lines may be damaged or destroyed by high winds and floodwaters. Roads and bridges can be washed away by flash flooding or blocked debris.
"The first thing we recommend is to keep informed about where the storm is and where it is headed, by listening to your radio and television or viewing web-based weather sites for the projected storm path," said Chester County Deputy Director for Emergency Management Bobby Kagel.
Hurricane Watch means there is a threat of hurricane conditions within 24-36 hours. Hurricane Warning means that a hurricane is expected to strike your area within 24 hours or less with sustained winds of 74 mph or more and dangerously high water.
In the event of a power outage, Chester County emergency management officials remind residents they should not call 9-1-1. Instead, they should call their local electric company:
Met Ed/First Energy – 1-888-544-4877
Chester County residents are also reminded to prepare for prolonged power outages, noting specifically to have:
- Flashlights with fresh batteries
- A battery-operated radio with fresh batteries and extra supply of batteries
- Fully charged cell phones and laptops.
- Blankets and warm clothing available to keep warm during power outages.
Other items to have available are a first-aid kit, non-perishable canned food (and a non-electric can opener), bottled water and essential medicines - enough to last least three days. Also stock up on enough food and water for pets.
Before the Hurricane Warning has been issued, bring in outdoor furniture, toys, or garden items. If they cannot be brought indoors, anchor these objects so that winds can't toss them around.
For residents who are in an area that is prone to flooding, be prepared to leave if officials tell you to evacuate. Keep family cars fueled. Pack a bag with clothing, sturdy shoes, essential medicines, extra cash and credit cards, flash lights and extra batteries. Make arrangements for pets as many emergency shelters will not allow pets in for health reasons.
"If Chester County is badly affected by Hurricane Sandy, it will not be as overwhelming if you have a plan," added Bobby Kagel.
For more information on disaster planning go to the Federal Emergency Management Agency website at www.fema.gov . the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency website atwww.pema.state.pa.us, or the American Red Cross at www.redcross.org.
For regular updates and advice during a major weather incident in Chester County, visit the County's website, www.chesco.org/des or visit the Chester County Department of Emergency Services facebook page.

Landmark Decision on Voter Registration in New Mexico a Win for Democracy
Cristina Francisco-McGuire on January 13, 2011 - 1:51pm
As states prepare for the worst and steel themselves against attacks on voting rights, a coalition of advocates in New Mexico celebrated a remarkable triumph just prior to the holidays. In response to a lawsuit filed by groups including Project Vote, Demos, and the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, claiming that New Mexico public assistance agencies were not offering clients the opportunity to register to vote as required under Section 7 of the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA), U.S. District Judge Judith Herrera made history by issuing the first legal ruling on the issue of whether clients must "opt in" to receive voter registration materials.

Muggle: A non-geocacher in the vicinity of a geocache. The term often is used to describe impacts on a cache hunt. "I couldn't look for the cache because there were too many muggles nearby."
The term muggle has been around for decades and means many things in different environments; in the early part of the last century, among musicians, muggle was a reference to drugs (specifically marijuana) and drug users.
More recently, the term has enjoyed renewed popularity, mainly due to its use in the Harry Potter series by J. K. Rowling, where it refers to non-magical people.
Muggles are generally harmless. However, care should be taken to avoid revealing the location of a cache in their presence. Sometimes caches are muggled (vandalized by non-cachers).
Some cachers do not like to use the word muggle, but it is rapidly becoming the norm when refering to those not informed about our hobby.
The term muggle has sometimes been applied to some geocachers themselves. Because there are multiple geocache listing sites, geocachers who hunt caches listed on only one site may not be aware of the existence of caches listed on other sites. Someone in a park, unaware of the existence of a nearby cache, is considered by some to be a muggle, even if they are avid geocachers otherwise.
Some other synonyms for muggles are:
- geomuggle (actually, this is the original word that geocachers used to describe a non-cacher)
- cache pirate
- Surrep

Kidney health problems are more common for Indigenous people than for non-Indigenous people [1]. For example, end-stage renal disease (ESRD) (when kidneys stop working completely) has become more recognised in recent years. Rates of ESRD are highest in northern Australian communities [2].
Some reasons for the high number of kidney health problems in many Indigenous communities include:
Fixing and managing kidney health problems requires good medical treatments, but public health measures are needed too.
The term 'chronic kidney disease' (CKD) includes the following sicknesses:
'Kidney failure' and 'renal failure' (ESRD) are the most serious kidney health problems, involving temporary or permanent loss of kidney function. This may happen fast (over a period of days or weeks) or slowly over years [4].
Indigenous people with ESRD and those who are on dialysis or have had a kidney transplant are registered with the Australian and New Zealand Dialysis and Transplant Registry (ANZDATA) [1]. The registry uses information from hospital records and other sources to document:
Information from ANZDATA is used to support health care planning and research collaboration, and also for reports of individual hospital activity and outcomes of treatment.
Chronic renal failure is the slow loss of kidney function that gradually gets worse over several years until the kidneys stop working for good [5]. This is also known as end-stage renal disease (ESRD).
ESRD among Indigenous people is a big problem. The rates of ESRD are much higher for Indigenous people than for non-Indigenous people across most of the country - particularly in remote areas (where rates are up to thirty times higher) [1], [6].
Data from ANZDATA show that between 2001 and 2004;

The figures presented in Table 1 have been derived from data provided by ANZDATA. The HealthInfoNet is most grateful for the provision of these data, and for technical advice provided by ANZDATA.]
New cases of ESRD for Indigenous people are reported at much younger ages than for non-Indigenous people (Figure 2) [Derived from [7].

The figures presented in Table 1 have been derived from data provided by ANZDATA. The HealthInfoNet is most grateful for the provision of these data, and for technical advice provided by ANZDATA.]
For the period 1999-2003, death rates from chronic kidney disease (CKD) were up to 10 times higher for Indigenous people than for non-Indigenous people [1]. Death rates were especially high after the age of 25 years for both Indigenous males and females compared with non-Indigenous people.
Chronic renal failure was reported as accounting for;
Indigenous patients often present with more than one serious illness that could lead to death (such as diabetes, hypertension (abnormally raised blood pressure), infections and poor nutrition) [8]. Only one cause can be recorded as the underlying cause of death, but it is useful to describe the extent to which other conditions have been reported at the time of death [1]. For example, deaths from diabetes, where renal failure was reported as an associated cause of death among Indigenous people, occurred at almost twice the rate for Indigenous males and females than for non-Indigenous people [1].
High rates of ESRD among Indigenous people are due to many risk factors, including:
The following factors are related to poverty, unemployment, homelessness and fractured kinships since the time of colonisation:
The health conditions associated with renal disease include:
Medical intervention is necessary to avoid death from ESRD. Current treatment options include;
In 2004, Indigenous people represented around one in 40 people of the national population, but they accounted for around one in 10 of all people commencing renal replacement therapy (RRT) each year [7]. (RRT is a term used to cover the range of life-supporting treatments for renal failure (that is, transplantation and dialysis [15]). Rates of RRT for ESRD have increased over the past 20 years for Indigenous people, but they are still only about one-third as likely as non-Indigenous people to receive a kidney transplant [16]. In 2003, of all registered Indigenous ESRD patients:
Opportunities for transplantation within the Indigenous population are limited by a number of factors:
Haemodialysis (dialysis of the blood to remove toxic wastes from the bloodstream) [15], is the most common form of treatment for Indigenous people with ESRD [1].
Delivering self-care dialysis services close to, or in, the home helps with treatment. It means Indigenous people can remain in their own communities, with their own family and social supports, and the costs of re-housing and supporting relocated dialysis patients are avoided [19]. Problems with self-care dialysis in the home include:
Remote-area dialysis is 25% more expensive than metropolitan self-care dialysis, but, when one takes account of re-location expenses, the overall cost is around one-half of that involving relocation of patients to the city [14].
When self-care dialysis is not available or not practicable, remote-area patients are relocated to dialysis units, mainly in major cities. More than three-quarters of all Indigenous people commencing RRT in remote areas during 1999-2001 had to relocate to access treatment [21]. Relocation from remote communities can lead to problems for both the individuals and the health-care system [14] [22]. A major issue is the alienation and isolation felt by patients.
ESRD treatment rates for Indigenous people are high, but rates of withdrawal (dropping out) from treatment are also high. Early withdrawal from treatment causes death for many Indigenous patients [9]. Reasons for withdrawal include:
Withdrawal from treatment causes many deaths, but even those Indigenous people who continue treatment have relatively low survival rates - the survival rates for Indigenous ESRD patients are lower than those for non-Indigenous patients [9].
Primary prevention efforts call for:
Secondary and tertiary measures, such as screening and pharmacological (medicine and drug) interventions, also promise to reduce the risk of serious renal disease by slowing disease development [9], [11] [14] [23]. Things that have worked well in programs aimed at reducing kidney health problems include:
The kidneys filter blood through small groups of blood vessels, known as a glomerulus [4]. There are about 1 million glomeruli in each kidney. Glomerulonephritis is a sickness that causes damage to the glomerulus [25] [26]. Damaged glomeruli let protein and red blood cells leak into the urine, and may stop waste from being properly filtered out of the body [4]. The lack of filtering can lead to fluid build-up in the body causing swelling in parts of the body (for example, face, hands, ankles and feet). A serious form of glomerulonephritis is acute post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis (APSGN) (an inflammation of the glomeruli following an infection, such as one in the throat).
APSGN is a potentially serious health problem that happens two to three weeks after skin or throat infection [27] [28]. APSGN is uncommon in the wider Australian population, but outbreaks of APSGN in remote Indigenous communities in northern Australia have been reported since the 1960s [29]. Outbreaks continue to occur every 5-7 years across the Top End [27] and are most likely to affect Indigenous children living in these areas [30].
Factors contributing to (high rates of) APSGN for Indigenous people include:
The main factors contributing to the spread of the disease include:
APSGN has been described as a mild sickness that usually ends with complete recovery within days or weeks [29] [32] [33]. However, APSGN is also associated with problems leading to hospitalisation (for example; severe hypertension - abnormally raised blood pressure - acute renal failure, fluid overload) and has occasionally caused death. The contribution of APSGN to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in later life is unknown, but it is likely that a history of APSGN in childhood is a powerful risk factor for renal failure later [34] [35] [36].
There is no simple treatment, but APSGN is a preventable disease [36]. No vaccine is yet available, so preventing streptococcal infection remains the most important part of prevention [37] [38]. Prevention requires:
A urinary tract infection (UTI) is an infection or sickness in the upper or lower part of the urinary tract [4]. Having a UTI is not always a serious problem, but it can lead to kidney damage and can cause more serious renal problems, including end-stage renal disease (ESRD) [25].
Some people with a UTI do not show signs of having it. The signs for lower UTI are:
The signs for an upper UTI infection are:
A hospital-based study in Darwin found that Indigenous men and women had higher rates overall of UTI than their non-Indigenous counterparts, but rates are greater among non-Indigenous people after the age of 60 years [39].
Except for children in their first year of life, UTIs were more common among Indigenous females than males, with consistently high rates of infection until around 60 years of age [39]. Indigenous males were at greatest risk during infancy.
Unfortunately, easily treatable UTIs often remain undetected (particularly in Indigenous children), which increases the individual's risk of developing more serious renal disease [40].
Usually, a UTI is caused by bacteria (tiny germs that can be killed with antibiotic medicine). Bacteria can enter the urethra and travel to the bladder, but they usually get flushed out with urine without causing an infection. Sometimes, however, the bacteria multiply and cause an infection.
Inadequate living conditions and poor environmental standards contribute to the high levels of UTI observed in some Indigenous communities [40]. As stated above, females are more likely than males to develop UTIs. Other risk factors include age and sexual activity [39].
Lower UTI is easily treated, generally by a single dose or short course of antibiotics. Upper UTI usually requires hospitalisation and administration of antibiotics into the vein (intravenously). Antibiotics may also be administered to prevent recurrent infection [25] [41]. Improvements in screening and follow-up of infections among Indigenous people is needed to reduce the rate of UTI [40] [42].
We have now described sicknesses that affect the renal system and sicknesses that affect the urinary tract, but there is also a sickness that affects both areas: urolithiasis. The term urolithiasis refers to the formation of one or more pebble-like objects (commonly referred to as calculi or renal stones) in the renal or urinary tract [25] [41].
Symptoms for urolithiasis are:
Urolithiasis can cause blockages that give rise to severe illness or renal damage, but this is not common [43] [47].
More attention has been given to the problem of urolithiasis among Indigenous people than problems from urinary tract infections (UTIs). The literature reports that urolithiasis is common among some Indigenous children [43] [44] [45] [46] [47] [48], but seldom occurs among Indigenous adults [45] . This contrasts with the pattern of urolithiasis reported among non-Indigenous people and other populations of the developed world, where the incidence is much higher among adults than children [43] [45].
National or regional statistics for urolithiasis do not exist, but a number of studies confirm high rates among Indigenous children from the arid inland areas of Australia [43] [45] [47] [48].
A review of patient records collected between 1972 and 1986 in WA show that the number of Indigenous children presenting with urolithiasis was more than double that of non-Indigenous children [43]. Other research conducted in the 1980s documented urolithiasis among Indigenous children living in central Australia and in the dry inland regions of WA [43] [45] [46] .
Indigenous children with urolithiasis tend to come from desert regions of Australia, are more likely to be male, and are typically younger than 3 years of age [43] [44] [45] [46] [47].
Risk factors for urolithiasis in Indigenous children include:
The treatment of urolithiasis has traditionally involved surgical procedures to remove stones [43] [44] [47]. This means extended hospitalisation and separation from family, and is costly [43] [47]. Fortunately, long-term antibiotic therapy and urinary alkalinisation (neutralising acid) has become the more common treatment in recent years because this is safe and effective [44] [48].
For prevention of urolithiasis, attention must be directed to:
To sum up: improvements in environmental conditions, such as the provision of adequate drinking water are essential to reduce the incidence of urolithiasis [48].

Queen sculpture planned for Bexleyheath Clock Tower is cast
Updated 5:28pm Monday 11th February 2013 in News By Tim MacFarlan, reporter
A BRONZE sculpture of the Queen planned for Bexleyheath Clock Tower has been cast.
The charity project has seen £10,000 raised since June 4 last year for the making and fitting of the bust of Her Majesty in celebration of the sovereign's Diamond Jubilee last June.
Sculptor Frances Segelman created the design after being granted three one-hour private sittings with the Queen.
The aim is to install the new sculpture in the south plinth of the Clock Tower to go with the bust of King George V on the east-facing side - but another £10,000 is needed to reach the £20,000 target.
Campaign manager Ian Payne was at the casting at the Bronze Age Foundry in Limehouse, east London on February 6.
He said: "It was absolutely amazing to see how it all works.
"It's like something back from the Dark Ages.
"All of sudden the project has started to take off and become real."
Donations can be made at any Nat West Bank by quoting BBP Jubilee Appeal, sort code 51-70-14 account 78333040 or by sending a cheque made payable to BBP Jubilee Appeal c/o Marks & Spencer, 55 Broadway, Bexleyheath, DA6 7JN.

Pierre was enamoured for more than a year with the Westmount mansion's high ceilings, marble bathrooms and river views, but the owner's multimillion-dollar, supposedly non-negotiable asking price was just too high.
But when real estate sales slowed in late 2012 and some Westmount buyers and sellers became jittery following the election of the Parti Québécois government, Pierre, who spoke on condition that his real name not be printed, said he was finally able to buy the mansion — for $1 million below the asking price.
While a seven-figure discount is far from typical, buyers, brokers and evaluators cite examples of luxurious Westmount homes selling for up to 40 per cent below asking price at a time when the inventory of Montreal homes for sale is hitting the highest point in more than a decade.
One Westmount mansion initially listed for $4.5 million traded hands a year later in 2012 at $2.8 million.
"My general impression is that there is a huge disconnect between the listing of these homes and the reality of the market," said Pierre, an affluent businessman.
"People keep lowering their asking prices."
Unrealistic pricing, following years of appreciating property values, is joining fears over high household debt and tougher rules on insured mortgages as explanations for weakening Montreal Island home sales, which dropped 22 per cent during the first quarter of 2013, year over year, real estate board data show.
To test whether sellers are overestimating the value of their properties, The Gazette analyzed real estate board data for average asking and selling prices, based on about 66,000 sales of Montreal Island plexes, condos and single-family homes since 2008. The analysis suggests the gap between what owners want for their homes and the actual selling prices for their properties widens as market conditions weaken, like during the economic downturn of 2008 and 2009.
Homeowners who sold their properties on Montreal Island during the last three months of 2012 received just under 94 per cent of the average asking price — down slightly from the same quarter in 2011.
"There are many factors that explain this (the market slowdown), but the overvaluation of home prices could be a part of it," said François Des Rosiers, a professor in the department of finance, insurance and real estate at Université Laval. "It's very complicated."
Indeed, while Greater Montreal property values are still expected to rise slightly in 2013, Royal LePage Real Estate Services recently predicted home prices could decline by up to five per cent this spring as sellers realize they will have to "negotiate" with buyers to sell their homes. Between 2002 and 2012, the price of a Greater Montreal home rose 103 per cent, according to the Teranet Index on House Prices.
Are Montreal sellers simply being too greedy at a time when buyers have the advantage?
"Right now, the sellers aren't reducing their prices," Des Rosiers said. "It could happen if the slowdown gets worse, but I'm not one who expects to see a huge drop in prices on the island of Montreal."
The Gazette looked at the average amount owners wanted for homes sold by brokers, compared to the average sale prices for those properties, in neighbourhoods across the city. From these figures, a ratio of asking-to-selling price was calculated. The higher the ratio, the better the sellers were at getting the amount they wanted for their homes; for example, a 100-per-cent ratio meant buyers paid the full asking price for a property.
Among The Gazette's findings:
Westmount — where single family homes sold for $163,000 below the average listing price of $1.5 million — was the area with the widest gap between what sellers wanted and what they actually got for their properties, partly because of the difficulty of finding comparable prices for the unique and expensive houses. The ratio was 90.6 per cent.
For condos, Côte St. Luc sellers fell $30,600 short from getting their average $335,453 asking price, in what was the widest gap on Montreal Island in that category. The ratio was 91.8 per cent.
With a ratio of 96.6 per cent ratio, condo sellers in the Villeray/Saint-Michel/Parc-Extension borough were the best in their housing category at getting their asking prices.
Condo sellers priced their homes more realistically for the market, on average, than owners of plexes or single-family homes, most likely because it's easier to find prior sales of these apartments as a basis for comparison, experts say.
How disconnected are asking and selling prices in your neighbourhood? Explore the data:
"When we have a client for a home listing, we have to look at the past (sales) to speculate on the future," said real estate broker Georges Bardagi, the founder of Équipe Bardagi, which is affiliated with Re/Max. "Some sellers are still in denial (over prices), but we see less and less of that."
The ability to accurately price a home to sell is a key advantage held by the traditional real estate industry, where brokers are seeing their turf eroded by for-sale-by-owner websites like Quebec-City based DuProprio, which operates as ComFree in the rest of Canada. Last month, brokers won a victory in keeping that historic data for exclusive industry use, after the Competition Tribunal threw out a case against the Toronto Real Estate Board that sought to make these comparables widely available.
Yet despite having those figures, pricing homes — especially high-end houses — remains "an art" that comes from experience, said Peter Alovisi, broker with Re/Max Royal Jordan, who specializes in the West Island.
"The higher the price, the greater the margin for error," Bardagi agreed.
With fewer comparables at the high end, unique luxury homes, like the ones sold in Westmount, are more difficult to price.
"The specifics of each house make it very tough," said Andy Dodge, an appraiser who operates mostly in Westmount. "Certain people either really want a swimming pool, or they really don't want a swimming pool."
Westmount's asking-to-selling ratio of 90.6 per cent for single-family homes indicates "the market is soft or the owners are overvaluating their properties," said Des Rosiers, after looking at The Gazette's analysis.
Realistically priced homes, or properties sold in a healthy market should fetch at least 95 per cent of the asking price, he said.
Dodge said he suspects the dramatic gap between listing and selling prices on a few bigger-ticket homes could be skewing the average for all single-family home transactions in Westmount. But he has also seen cases where owners are coming up with prices on a per-square-foot basis, without considering whether the house has been renovated.
"Everyone thinks that their home is worth more than it is," Dodge said. "People started out hoping that they could get what their neighbours got during the previous year.
"The condition of the home means a lot in Westmount. Some buyers want $200,000 to $300,000 kitchens."
During the first three months of 2013, the median price of a single-family home in Westmount declined eight per cent to $1.27 million, as active listings grew 37 per cent over the same quarter in 2012, board data compiled from the Centris.ca website show.
Six Montreal-area brokers interviewed by The Gazette describe cases of sellers who refuse to listen to their advice on how to price a property, instead opting to "fish" or "test" the market by setting an inflated asking price and negotiate with buyers. Some of those brokers described actually losing clients when they recommended realistic, but lower listing prices than their competitors.
"They (clients) always want to have more, and there are always brokers who don't know how to explain the reality to them," Bardagi said.
On Friday, The Gazette described several cases of Montreal Island homes selling within days, when they are renovated and priced realistically, as opposed to being discounted. Fishing or pricing homes above market value failed to bring in offers, and the listings became stale during the current market, brokers said.
Yet there have also been U.S. real estate studies showing that sellers who stuck to their guns, in certain conditions, eventually got their asking prices, Des Rosiers said.
Pricing remains a skill that even experts have yet to perfect.
Despite his profession as an evaluator, Dodge said he still believed he could have gotten an even better offer for his Westmount home, which he sold in the late 1990s, as the local market pulled out of the "doldrums" following the recession and Quebec referendum on sovereignty of 1995.
And that's after getting three times the price he paid for the house in the 1980s.
"That's the thing about trying to maximize your investment," Dodge said. "You can always hope."
For businessman Pierre, the hope of buying his Westmount dream house dimmed very quickly when he saw the asking price. But instead of looking for another property, he decided to lowball the owner, who eventually accepted his offer.
Pierre still can't believe it: "I still pinch myself, every day."

The Daily Star
---- — Many older folks are just tired out from the old age syndromes of aches and pains along with the dreary winter dull-drums.
I can truthfully attest to that statement since when I was chatting with one of my medical attendants, "So what are we, older folks still able to enjoy but to —? and she humorously cut me off to interject,"— eat at restaurants!" (We both had a few giggles over that because both of us could lose a few pounds.)
Enjoying a quiet, peaceful atmosphere to relax in and just to be waited on with courtesy and delicious well-cooked fare — all that is truly a delight. But there are the "buts."
Seniors with fixed incomes generally look for special places with the special prices.
Large portions can be halved, doggie-bagged, and brought home for another meal or a person can often order from the "child's menu." All at a savings.
"A penny saved is a penny earned," as my grandmother used to say. Today there has to be a lot of penny-pinching with the economy the way it is.
Another old time saying is, "Cleanliness is next to godliness." That is so true for there have been times that my husband and I had to just leave an establishment — walk in, turn around and leave. Sad.
Personally speaking, I appreciate a well-kept, clean restaurant and a thoughtful waitress who caters to your every need. In fact not too long ago while I was happily munching on some gooey hot wing,s our perceptive waitress observed my coming problem and made sure we had extra napkins. Nice.
My mom always emphasized Emily Post's acceptable etiquette: No licking your fingers!
That was years ago when buffalo wings most likely were unheard of, or not as popular.
So I smiled a thank you to the waitress, coyly looked around (no one is looking) and I licked each delicious, tasty finger — then turned to the napkins. Yummy.
When it comes to shopping, most of us seniors find that rather tedious. I used to enjoy and look forward to finding new products and meal suggestions. But today it's the penny-pinching again. There are so many unhappy faces as I glance at the shoppers selecting products from the shelves, reading labels and comparing prices. There are very few smiling faces, if any.
My husband doesn't enjoy shopping, like we gals do. In fact when I was younger and I used to, as the expression goes, "shop til you drop." Clearance racks were never missed and each shop in a mall was perused. That's just another old-age disappointment, for energy is at a minimum and the "necessaries" come first — the supermarket.
My shopping list is divided between my hubby and myself. He goes in one direction and I in another. We meet at a designated spot at a given time, check shopping cart items and then head for the check out. We plan to save time, energy and also the expense of those extra items if we shop when we're hungry.
Sounds like a good solution for the task but, sorry to say, things never seem to be so simple. I sometimes forget my list or we didn't write down the items we should have.
There are many intriguing new displays to investigate, a visit to the restroom, and always bumping into friends you haven't seen in a long time. A glance at my watch and I have to hurry to find my "better half." Thank goodness for the thoughtful store manager who has placed several benches for us oldsters to collapse on — there he is.
An interesting Hebrew law was "not to muzzle a bull while he is threshing." (Deuteronomy 25:4)
So, simply put, a worker deserves sustenance. So —
Many times there is a bright spot in our market where there are tasty food samples — either a special display with hostess or a slice of your selection in the deli. I remember the samples of mini cupcakes at the bakery not too long ago. Now that was really a very clever way to encourage sales, for it worked, and of course, we "workers" (shoppers) had a delicious sample of what we just had to buy. Thank you.

Story Masters Class, Part 2 by Dr. Stan Williams
Irony, Goals and Plots: How to create and structure well-rounded, engaging characters, plots and subplots around a single motivational premise.
In this well illustrated story workshop, you'll learn the secrets of how characters transform, how goals are defined, how plots and subplots are created and how every character's arc (regardless of their outer journey) are all related to a single internal moral premise that ties the story together around one core idea. You'll also learn the critical important of irony and how it dramatizes every character's storyline. We will reveal 3 paths to audience-character identification, the 3 poles of the Nicomachean Character value scale, 3 story-breaking (or beating) tools, and the 3 relationships of plot arcs, character goals, and dramatic irony. Bring your story ideas; there will be opportunity to practice some of the techniques Dr. Williams explains and get valuable feedback from him and other participants. This is the same content Dr. Williams has presented to working writers and producers in Hollywood, at film conferences around the country, and what he uses to help his story-consulting clients. WORKSHOP
Who should attend: Knowledge of the story structure secrets in Part 1 will be helpful, but not entirely necessary. Writers who want to investigate Moral Premise story structure on a deeper and more practical level, or writers who are challenged or face writer's block are encouraged to attend.

We weren't sure the day was ever going to come.
The day we would meet
Alf Ray Meagher that is.
But it did.
At 8.30 a.m. me and my rolly suitcase & wee rucksack went down the brae as fast as we could to catch the Airlink bus to Waverley Station. It took forever for the bus to come, and forever to get through all the tramworks and traffic lights, but with time to grab a bottle of water, bag of crisps and some grapes at Boots I made it to my 9.30 a.m. train to London.
I sat next to two lovely ladies who I got chatting to (me? chat? I know it's shocking, isn't it?), and surprisingly we arrived at Kings Cross a few minutes early. Off I went to top up my Oyster card and navigate the London Underground to Bayswater where Ruth & I had booked an apartment. Apartment found (with free wi-fi – hurrah!) I dumped my stuff, changed into slightly smarter clothes and went to meet Ruth at Paddington. Back to Bayswater so Ruth could dump her stuff, and off we went to Leicester Square to meet Mike, Rebecca and Oli.
To say we were excited was a teeny weeny ickle bit of an understatement.
Off to Chinatown, and we got chinese food in a restaurant. At this point I would show you the picture of the receipt we got that I picked up to work out how much I owed to discover the whole thing was written in Chinese.
But I accidentally deleted off my camera.
Which means the embarrassment of the waiter coming over and seeing me take a picture of the receipt in Chinese was all for nothing (except the entertainment of Mike, Rebecca, Ruth & Oli who laughed a lot at me & the bemused waiter who probably didn't know that it was all for blog storytelling).
Then we met my friend Mike and it was time to take our seats!!!! eeeee!!!!
The show was amazing. The costumes were brilliant. The script was hilarious. The choreography was just right in helping tell the story and matching the crazy costumes. The set was so well done. The only thing that let them down is that sometimes you couldn't hear what they were singing. I'm not sure if it was the actors not having enough strength in their voice or an issue with the sound engineering.
As soon as the show finished we went straight to the Stage Door (though my friend said goodbye to us at this point) and waited anxiously for Ray Meagher. As did a huge group of New Zealanders who had been sitting behind us.
Doors opened. Security people poked their head out – our hopes rose as we thought the moment had come and….
out walked Cliff Richard.
Eh? What?
Very confusing (he must have been in the audience we think), but we did get a giggle seeing him running away (literally) from some people chasing him for an autograph.
Mitzi came out (or as I call him 'Lachlan Fraser' – yes, another Home & Away star starred in Priscilla too!) and looked disappointed that none of us Alf Stewart fans asked him for an autograph.
Then the moment….
He was super nice. We told him how we'd tried to come down last year. He thanked us for coming to see the show. He told us that Kate Ritchie (Sally) was doing well and how her Mum had been to see him the other week, and when I asked him how they'd written out Alf so he could come do Priscilla, he assured me that Alf was not going to jail again. (Phew!)
After that we got our picture beneath 'the shoe' and we headed for the tube station and parted ways. With 'We met Alf!' being exclaimed every now and then.
I confess it took about 2 hours before I had calmed down (sorry Ruth!) and Rebecca let me use her phone where I did wake up my Mum just to tell her that Ray Meagher said 'Hello'. Gotta love my Mum who answered the phone not with 'Hello' but with 'So, you met Alf then?' (because who else would be phoning at 11 p.m. but her insane daughter).
So now we've crossed that off of our 'bucket lists'. What next?
I'm thinking a trip to
Summer Bay Palm Beach, Australia – don't you? ;)

Steven Salzberg, Contributor
The great northwest of the U.S. is known for its natural beauty. It's also a high-tech region with a highly educated public – not exactly the kind of place one would expect to fall for the anti-science rhetoric of the anti-vaccine movement.
But it has. The anti-vaxxers have convinced a frighteningly high number of parents in Washington State to withhold vaccines from their children. A story in The Seattle Times last year reported that
"Washington [state] parents are choosing not to vaccinate their kindergartners at a rate higher than anywhere else in the country."
This despite the fact that the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (formed by the founder of Microsoft Microsoft, which is headquartered in Seattle) is one of the world's leading sponsors of vaccine research.
When the vaccination rates drop, everyone becomes more vulnerable to infectious diseases. When more than 90% of the population is vaccinated, we have "herd immunity" – this means the disease can't spread because there aren't enough susceptible people in the community. So the high rate of vaccine refusal in Washington makes it easier for whooping cough (and other diseases) to spread.
The media has been complicit in spreading some of the anti-vaccine misinformation. Sometimes it comes straight from the media itself, such as the CBS reporter Sharyl Attkisson, who has repeatedly and persistently reported on the purported link between vaccines and autism long after such a link was widely discredited.* Other times it comes from talk shows, magazines, or even airline advertisements that provide a platform for anti-vax celebrity doctors such as Jay Gordon (who gained fame as Jenny McCarthy's son's doctor) and "Dr. Bob" Sears, who has published his own "alternative" vaccine schedule in a book filled with anti-vaccine nonsense. These characters continue to claim, at every chance they get, that vaccines cause autism (as Gordon has said, repeatedly), or that they cause other harms, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. They use their medical degrees and their faux concern "for the children" to frighten parents into keeping their kids unvaccinated.
And now we learn that the U.S. is in the midst of the worst whooping cough epidemic in 70 years. One of the most hard-hit states is Washington, which the CDC just announced (on 20 July) has suffered 2,520 cases so far this year, a 1300% increase over last year. This is the highest number of cases reported in Washington since 1942. This plot of the number of cases this year compared to last year shows the dramatic rise in infections:
Making things worse, it seems, is an increase in cases among children aged 13-14. Children get a booster shot at age 11-12, but the new outbreak indicates that the effectiveness of the booster may not last very long. The dramatic increase in whooping cough this year also suggests that the bacterium that causes it, Bordetella pertussis, is mutating to make the vaccine less effective. Nevertheless, the CDC emphasizes:
"Vaccination continues to be the single most effective strategy to reduce morbidity and mortality caused by pertussis. Vaccination of pregnant women and contacts of infants is recommended to protect infants too young to be vaccinated."
This good advice is seriously undermined when misinformed doctors such as "Dr. Bob" Sears directly advise pregnant women not to get the whooping cough vaccine, as he did in the Huffington Post. (Hint: it's a good rule to be very skeptical of celebrity doctors who go by their first name.)
I should also point out that whooping cough is a national problem, not just Washington State's. The U.S. has had over 17,000 cases this year, putting it on track for the worst year since 1959. The highest rate of infection in the nation is in Wisconsin (which has also been hit hard by anti-vaccine effects), followed by Washington and Montana. 10 deaths have been reported, mostly in infants who were too young to be vaccinated. For all this, we can thank the anti-vaccination movement.
*Note: Following a complaint from Sharyl Attkinson, this story has been updated to clarify my view of her vaccine-related reporting.
whooping cough outbreaks, measles, and mumps recently have been primarily among vaccinated people! time to wake up… can you answer why this obvious fact never appears in the corporate media? Measles outbreak in a vaccinated school population: epidemiology, chains of transmission and the role of vaccine failures.
B M Nkowane, S W Bart, W A Orenstein, and M Baltier
(Australia ends free pertussis vaccines for adults because 'cocooning' is ineffective in protecting kids):
"PARENTS across Australia will no longer receive free whooping cough vaccinations because it is not effective in protecting newborns from the potentially deadly illness, a parliamentary committee has heard."
"The PBAC, which is totally independent and very expert, has determined that there is no clinical effectiveness of this strategy," Professor Brook said.
He said this had made it clear the cocooning strategy should not be continued.
"So all jurisdictions who have been in this program will be effectively ceasing the cocooning strategy as of the end of June this year."
"There has been a national committee meet to look at this and to make decisions on the basis of the best scientific evidence available … the evidence is that the strategy has not been effective."
I would like to point out to Mr. Salzberg that other news reports challenge his claim:
USA TODAY story May 10, 2012: http://www.usatoday.com/news/health/story/2012-05-10/whooping-cough-epidemic-Washington/54884494/1
"[CDC spokeswoman Alison] Patti emphasized that pertussis isn't spreading because of an anti-vaccine movement. Among possible reasons for the recent spike are that diagnoses in teens and adults are getting better and doctors are doing a better job with reporting, she added
"Health officials say the disease tends to return in three-to-five-year cycles."
NBC News story "Whooping cough shot may wear off after 3 years"
"Young children who receive vaccinations against whooping cough are not fully protected against the disease three to six years after their shots, a new study suggests.
"Currently, kids receive five doses of the pertussis vaccine, with the final injection given between ages four and six. A pertussis booster shot is recommended for adolescents."
Five doses are not enough? We need boosters every three years for the rest of our lives?
How does all this get blamed on the "anti-vaccine movement"?
Anne Dachel, Media editor: Age of Autism
Is it really necessary to point out that Dr. Salzberg used more recent data?
No surprise, your attempt at "analysis" is remarkably poor.
Thank you Anne!
Yes, thank you Anne D. for showing us once again how dishonest and inept anti-vaccine spokespersons have become.
Steven, you really went out on the wrong limb with this article. Furthermore when Pat and Anne show you endless evidence you cling to your now defeated storyline. There is bias all over you at the moment. You are a reporter, how about some integrity.
Correction: Pat and Anne posted a bunch of nonsense.
Did you make any effort at fact-checking their postings before deciding they were correct?
Anne is very thorough in her fact checking- and will be the first one to say if she made a mistake. I too saw this article she quotes as well as posted it on my FB page. Maybe you need to do your own fact checking.

Lawmakers Look To Economic Wonks On Cliff
Even highly trained economists have vastly differing opinions on how to handle the cliff.
The fiscal cliff rhetoric has gotten awfully heated in recent weeks, but Thursday lawmakers stopped to hear it discussed in cooler, wonkier tones.
Congress' Joint Economic Committee heard from two respected economists on how to handle the fiscal cliff without causing too much economic pain.
The chosen experts--Mark Zandi, chief economist for economic analysis firm Moody's Analytics, and Kevin Hassett, a senior fellow at AEI and a former Federal Reserve economist--agreed on a few broad, generally universally accepted points. They agreed the nation should work toward long-term fiscal sustainability. They also told lawmakers that to go over the cliff would cause painful contraction, but to maintain current policy would be dangerously costly--both in dollar terms and in less tangible ways.
[ENJOY: Political Cartoons on the Fiscal Cliff]
But the two experts highlighted different aspects of concern.
Zandi warned in prepared testimony that to "kick the can down the road" and extend current policy into 2013 "would signal that political will is lacking to put the nation on a sustainable fiscal path." He also spoke on the shorter-term economic effects of the cliff and "smoothing" any fiscal drag in 2013, on the way to longer-term fiscal sustainability.
Zandi provided an analysis of which programs boost (and hurt) the economy most significantly. By his analysis, the part of the fiscal cliff that would cause the most economic damage would be the end of emergency unemployment benefits. For every dollar that the program cuts the federal deficit, GDP stands to fall by 1.4 times that amount.
[NEWMAN: A Contrarian Economic Wish List for 2013]
"In terms of bang for the buck or dollar for dollar, the emergency unemployment insurance program is very effective," he said, though he acknowledged it is an imperfect program and does create some disincentives to work.
Automatic spending cuts also would hurt GDP by more than a dollar for every dollar cut. Meanwhile, ending Bush-era tax cuts for the rich would reduce the deficit by $83 billion but only hurt GDP by roughly half that much. Bush-era tax cuts for people making less than $250,000 would raise much more money--about $200 billion--but also cut GDP by nearly that much ($174 billion).
While Hassett agreed the nation could face a very hard landing off of the cliff next year, he also stressed quickly creating a long-term sustainable plan should be the focus of lawmakers, instead of piecemeal efforts.
[NORQUIST: Obama 'Moving the Goalposts']
"If all of a sudden America's businesses had clarity about what things might look like... the sigh of relief rally from such a thing would dwarf anything we might get from tinkering with [unemployment insurance] benefits or payroll taxes."
Hassett stressed the need to significantly bring down longer-term debt levels.
"I think that the evidence of long-term effects of high government debt and debt-to-GDP ratios is pretty overwhelming," he said, pointing to studies that show high debt levels lead to slow growth.
The two economists differed most broadly on the question of spending cuts and revenue ratios. Zandi stated that a 2-to-1 ratio of spending cuts to revenue increases would be a good target, while Hassett pointed to research showing fiscal consolidation that is 85 percent cuts and 15 percent taxes is most successful.
[READ: A Simpleton's Guide to the Fiscal Cliff]
The president's proposal is in the opposite direction of both economists' proposals, with $1.6 trillion in new revenues, far outweighing around $400 billion in budget cuts. Meanwhile, House Speaker John Boehner's proposal would cut $600 billion in Medicaid and Medicare, $300 billion in mandatory savings, $300 billion in discretionary savings, and $200 billion from changing the consumer price index. On the flip side, it would raise $800 billion in revenues.
While the experts carried the discussion, members did take the time to reiterate party talking points on the cliff. Casey, the committee chair, stressed the need to lower taxes on middle-class Americans while letting them rise for the wealthiest taxpayers. Meanwhile, Republican Rep. Michael Burgess of Texas blasted the president's plan as out of balance, with too much in revenue and not enough in spending cuts.

CORVALLIS, Ore. (AP) — Officers say a woman who broke into a Corvallis hair salon caused substantial damage before they found her naked and hiding in a closet.
The Gazette-Times reported Thursday (http://bit.ly/WCSN6I ) an officer who responded to a burglar alarm saw wet footprints leading to a broken window in the front door, and he heard someone inside The Rage shop yelling and breaking things.
After a search, Lt. Ben Harvey said, officers found the woman. He said she was "unclothed, and it was apparent she was high on an amphetamine."
Police said 44-year-old Jelena Monique Taylor was booked Tuesday on burglary and criminal mischief charges. She pleaded not guilty on Wednesday and was held with bail set at $20,000.

New Learning Center Opens in Dorchester!
Monday, November 4, 2013 began a new chapter in the long life of Operation P.E.A.C.E. as we opened our new Learning Center in Codman Square (Dorchester). The new center, located in the Noral Apartments at 15 Norfolk St., includes a school-age education center, cooking space, arts and crafts area, children's reading library, and computer lab, according to a release from the organization.
Wingate Companies, our long-time supporter also contributed funds for the new center. "We are grateful to all those who joined together to make this center a reality," said Mark Schuster, principal of Wingate Companies, said in a statement "Based on the warm welcome we have received from the Dorchester community, we are confident Operation P.E.A.C.E. will become a vibrant neighborhood resource for local families to learn key life skills."
Welcome to the Peterborough Senior Center!
We are excited to announce that effective November 1, 2013, the Peterborough Senior Center (PSC) is now part of Operation P.E.A.C.E. Our community partner, Fenway Community Development Corporation (FCDC) approached the Operation P.E.A.C.E a few years ago about managing the operations and programs of PSC. After thoughtful discussion and collaboration, we decided to manage the PSC as we are already serving many seniors and the work aligns well with our mission.
To mark the occasion, many seniors and staff members from FCDC and Operation P.E.A.C.E. had a Halloween lunch party at PSC. We thanked the outgoing director, Christine Araujo and part-time assistant Santosh Sharma for their dedicated service to the seniors over the past year. Operation P.E.A.C.E. is looking forward to building upon their good work. We will continue to deliver engaging, healthy, and family-oriented programs for the seniors to improve their well-being.
New ESL Course Coming Soon!
A New ESL course for Russian Speakers will be held later this fall at our Fenway location. If interested in participating, please call our office at (617) 267-1054 or stop by to sign up.

Chateau Leoville Las Cases
The economic recession that has recently plagued our country has affected every stratum of society. Obviously the poor and middle class have been hit the hardest but even the affluent have seen their wealth decrease. The bottom line is, every socio-economic class has responded by tightening their belts, and one of those first notches is the elimination of luxury goods, such as fine wine.
Approximately three decades ago, few people associated Australia with wine. Today the country enjoys an enviable wine reputation world over. Australia has become a dominant wine force in many English-speaking countries i.e the UK, the USA, Ireland, Canada and even New Zealand. The success of Australian wines hinges on a number of very astute decisions of industry executives and investors. First and foremost, Australia's climate and soil are very conducive to viticulture. Grapes are always picked ripe, sometimes even over-ripe. There are very few restrictions in both growing grapes and making wine. Most are made for quick consumption, their prices ...
Food and Pinot Gigio pairings
Pinot Grigio comes in a multiple of styles, some are clean, vibrant and refreshing, and others are rich, spicy and tangy. Italy Pinot Grigio for example tends to be crisp and lemony, like a Sauvignon Blanc , but without the herbal and grassy notes. In Alsace, France, where it's called Pinot Gris, you'll find a more full bodied, spicy and tangy white wine. Elsewhere in the world, you'll find a Pinot Grigio that is somewhere in between the French and Italian styles.
