"Now then, Now then"
"Ua-ua-ua-ua-ua-ua-ua! Now then, now then! How's about that then?"
"The band was sha-wady-wady"
Sir James Wilson Vincent Gold Savile O.B.E. C.B.E D.S.O. V.C. M.C. (never "Saville" with two "l"s because that's clearly just silly) aka The Original Chav or Savile Vincent de Wilson de los James del Sir was a British DJ, television personality and gold enthusiast. He was arguably the most famous Yorkshireman of the 20th century and both entertained and creeped-out several generations of children and their parents.
Early Life: 1902 - 1960
Savile was born in 1902 in Leeds, Yorkshire. He was drafted during World War I to work as a gold miner under the British government's "Dig for Gold" policy[1] and this is thought to be where his addiction for snorting gold dust began.
Following the armistice, the teenage Jimmy used the fifty pounds he had saved up during his time working to buy his own train in which he installed the first (and only) "locomotive dancehall". It was during this time that Jimmy claimed to have been the first person to DJ with 23 turntables and a tin of Heinz baked beans in 1923[2]. This was later found to be a lie started by Jimmy's arch-nemesis Clive Anderson[3], he actually only used five turntables.
A former nightclub bouncer and associate of the notorious Kray Twins, Savile's links with the criminal underworld were severely undermined when he was ordered to "take out" Charlie Richardson and bought two tickets for Alton Towers instead.
Superstar Career 1961 - 1994
A common mistake is that Jimmy started his career in radio. This is a wicked lie and was probably started by Clive Anderson. Jimmy's actual first claim to fame was being co-owner of the company Burberry where Jimmy enjoyed a comfortable life as a bachelor. However, it was not meant to be and Jimmy was fired for his critically-slated "church tracksuit" and "burial tracksuit". After such a rejection, Jimmy took a gap year and did nothing but eat raw eggs and listen to Glen Miller discs on what he described as "the most powerful speakers they had back then, the ones Mussolini used so that crowds in Rome could hear him being mad".
Jimmy felt so strong from all those eggs and that hardcore Big Band music that he took-up a career in wrestling. This was back in the days when it wasn't all staged and people could get seriously hurt. But not Jimmy who won almost all of his bouts. "It was mainly because I chose to fight ten year old boys. You. See." he admitted many years later. "You can't do that now, though, because of heath and safety."
James Bond ambitions
Contrary to unpopular belief, Jimmy was set to play the role of James Bond in the movie Gold Finger but was dropped from the role when he stole the gold paint featured in the film and painted several cub scouts gold. This lead to an enraged Sean Connery, who happened to be passing when Jimmy was giving a protesting Scout a "lick of gold", administering a damn good thrashing to Savile with his manly Scottish fists. Connery's viciousness so impressed the film-makers that he was re-cast as James Bond in the film in the place of the now disgraced and hospitalised Jimmy.
Top Of The Pops
In 1966, Jimmy started a long stint presenting the BBC's flagship youth pop fab TV show Top Of The Pops. At the time, Savile's gold-addiction was still a shameful secret and he insisted on presenting the show in evening dress. The first few shows were critically-slated owing to Jimmy's insistence that having bands performing live was "a passing fad. you. see." and instead choosing to have featured Top 40 records played on vinyl on a record-player whilst "the kids" danced and Jimmy awkwardly grooved-gently from his leather presenters-chair. However, a shake-up by BBC top-brass saw bands performing on the show and Jimmy presenting in a standing-up position. Savile agreed to this on the condition that the programme-makers would allow him to wear a top hat and monocle. The latter memorably popped-out every time a band's performance was a particularly raucous or raunchy one.
Savile left Top Of The Pops in 1980, handing over presenting duties to Darth Vader and Simon Bates. He returned to present the final Top Of The Pops in 2006, an infamous show during which Jimmy mostly ignored the autocue and drank innumerable flutes of fortified champagne whilst holding-forth his "bitter" and "obscenity-littered" thoughts on TOTP, the featured bands and the BBC from a gold and platinum throne he had had delivered to Broadcasting House for the occasion. His dismissal of Babyshambles as "the thin shite duke and his junkies!" lead to an in-studio fist-fight with Pete Doherty which, having gone on for fifteen minutes across two BBC studios, was declared a draw by the production staff. Savile was supposed to have ended the show with the words "It's still Number One, it's Top Of The Pops!" but was unable to as he was busy being deliberately sick into Doherty's trilby. "We laugh about it now and he still has that hat, with all my dried sick in it. Ua-ua-ua!!" Sir Jimmy commented in a 2008 interview.
Jim Can't Fix It
When Jimmy was ready he decided to start his own show Jim Can't Fix It. This was to be the show that launched him into the showbiz career and made the godzillionair he is today.
The show was based around the idea of members of the public (usually children, "preferably female and between the ages of 12 and 14... because they're more popular with the viewers" said Savile, rubbing his hands) sending Jimmy letters asking for his help with a situation or to make a dream come true. Jimmy then spent the rest of the show rejecting these requests and then going into detail of why he can't fix it. Over the years the show was broadcast, Jimmy failed to make many peoples' wishes come true including performing onstage with Adam Ant ("He's a professional, you know, he only works with professionals"), being served breakfast by Samantha Fox ("She's too busy being a whore") and curing a little boy's cancer ("I'm not Jesus"). Probably the most famous show is the edition that featured the group of cub scouts who wanted to eat their dinner in a weird place, in which Jimmy told them "No".
Anyone who appeared on the show won one of Jimmy's special medals which were handmade by Jimmy himself. These were made of pure bakelite and featured the words "Jim Didn't Fix It For Me" painted on them skillfully with tippex. For the last show in 1994, Savile considered having the letters painted in gold paint as a celebratory gesture but Jimmy found it too hard to relinquish some of his precious gold.
British Rail promotion
Jimmy famously and memorably fronted various adverts for British Rail in the 1980s. These adverts usually featured Savile, dressed as a gold-chain wearing Edwardian pimp, hanging around various railway stations in the UK and harassing passers by for not buying enough tickets and not travelling far enough. Some also featured him on the trains themselves, commenting on the interior luxuries British Rail was famous for. One memorable advert broadcast from 1981-82 had Jimmy in the restaurant car in which he greedily and savagely devoured a savaloy whilst telling viewers about BR's latest onboard buffet service. This particular advert received complaints from parents who felt that it was undoing all their good work in encouraging their children not to talk with their mouths full.
Savile always delivered the famous catchphrase at the end of these adverts - "This is the age of the car - but go by train!"
LSD Safety Campaign
Starting in 1969, Jimmy started appearing in "information films" produced by HM Government in which he advised the nation's hippies, drop-outs and annoying twats on "safe ways" to use the popular recreational tonic LSD. Savile introduce some clips of LSD-drinkers wandering into the paths of oncoming tanks, throwing themselves from the roof of the Reichstag or recording tedious concept albums. At the end, Jimmy appeared on-screen again to explain how "such tragedies can be avoided" and demonstrated how an LSD-imbiber could be safely locked-into a giant romper-suit suspended from the ceiling of an "airing cupboard or family dungeon" and left until they'd "come down" again. The catchphrase "Clunk-Click, every Trip" took on a cult following and for years afterwards Jimmy had people who'd been drinking Buckfast shout it at him in the street before being sick into a drain.
Fame in the USA
While his TV shows never achieved the level of success in American like they did in his native land, Savile is best known stateside as the man who invented Slim Jims. Savile made more than £70 million from this venture, but later wasted every penny investing it in the BBC soap Eldorado as executive producer.
Jimmy famously never cut his hair from 1979 until his death and it has starred in many films such as Gandalf's beard from the Lord of the Rings trilogy, Sean Connery's chest hair, and most famously Pierce Brosnan. "I like to think my hair is a star in its own right, now then now then, Ua-ua-ua-ua-ua-ua-ua!" Jimmy told Martin Bashir in a 2001 interview.
Basically, we don't know. In fact, until the News of the World runs an expose we're keeping stumm. Or maybe we do. As soon as Gary Glitter logs in we may well know more!
Battle with gold
In late 1998, following a particularly depraved visit to a South African gold mine[4], Savile was persuaded to go into G-hab at the famous "Halls Of Montezuma" clinic in Mexico to try and cure his gold fever. After going gold turkey for forty days and forty nights, Jimmy was released from G-hab a cured man. Jimmy subsequently enjoyed his favourite past-time of injecting himself with minerally-pure gold responsibly.
Later Life: 1994 - 2011
For most of his life, Jimmy lived with his mother, Mrs Savile, who he called "The Duchess" even though she didn't hold any noble titles that Jimmy was aware of. Following her death he kept all of her clothes in a wardrobe and washed them once a week. He denied there was anything odd about this and strongly denied on a documentary by Louis Theroux that he kept her corpse around the house to "chat to"; having said that he also refused to allow Theroux into the cellar of his Yorkshire mansion, insisting "Let me tell you, young man, there absolutely is not a massive multi-roomed shrine to the Duchess down there the size of a small town with the centrepiece being a recreation of the greek parthenon housing her embalmed remains in a rocking chair; that would just be strange, you. see."
After many years of work for his country, Jimmy was finally recognised and was awarded knighthood when he donated his entire collection of golden tracksuits to starving Africans. His collection was so extensive it has now been recognised that the golden tracksuit is the official dress wear for the African people. Jimmy was also knighted in many countries such as Papua New Guinea and Malta. However, his crowning glory was being number one in the "Man With Most Bling" competition 2002, finally beating Mr.T and 50 Cent.
Jimmy was also recognised for starting one of the biggest trends there is, the tracksuit, long time fan 50 Cent saw Jimmy when he was a cute child rather than an annoying adult and has imitated his style ever since. This style of tracksuits can be seen all of the world from USA to the UK (but mainly Africa) and just goes to show that after all these decades Jimmy is still cool.
In 2007, Savile returned to television on the digital channel UK TV Gold with All New Jim Can't Fix It. This show both revisits past guests who Jim was unable to fix things for (including the former ambassador of the Socialist Republic of Yugoslavia who's "fix" of preventing his country from sliding into civil-war Savile was unable and unwilling to grant in 1990) as well as new fixes which Jim patiently rejects in the style that made him famous.
Jimmy spent the last few years of his life 3,000 feet above the Earth in his gigantic gold-plated private jet, smoking cigars and not giving a damn about you; or lounging around in his silk tracksuit in his £50,000,000 Yorkshire mansion where he had a swimming pool so vast it housed a life-size replica of the fucking Titanic which Jimmy called the "snug". Jimmy lived his life way above mere mortals. And especially their "so-called laws and sexual offenses acts".
Sir Jimmy Savile died in October 2011. A neighbour later said that, whilst on a morning run past Savile's palatial mansion, he had heard the gold-hungry star calling out "Ua-ua-ua-ua-ua-ua-ua!" and demanding that "Mister Cigar" call an ambulance. However, he felt that there was nothing untoward as "Sir Jimmy called out such things most of the time."
His cause of death is 'unknown' but family have strongly denied that Savile returned to his gold problem in his final months. "He'd had enough gold for one lifetime" said a close friend.
Sir Jimmy was laid out in state following his death and buried in a gold coffin wearing a tracksuit[5]
In a 2006 Interview for Shell Suit World Magazine Sir Jimmy gave a full honest and frank insight to his life. Notable answers given were Pedobear as his most inspirational individual of the past millennium and declining an invite to the Cambodian vacation home of Garry Glitter as his biggest regret.
- ↑ The motto was "Gold will bring us victory and if it doesn't then at least we've something to pay the Germans reparations with"
- ↑ the records were, of course, gramophone records and the beans were known as Dr Heinz' Magnificent Tinned Bean Feast
- ↑ Nobody knows where the notion that Anderson is Savile's nemesis came from as, beyond the turntable claim, there is no evidence of hostility or angry words between them but Savile himself always insisted it was the case and once slapped an interviewer who suggested otherwise
- ↑ So depraved that Nelson Mandella himself signed a special Presidential Decree banning Jimmy from the Republic of South Africa; ironically this was lifted mere hours before his death
- ↑ All of this line is actually true, no shit.

Former state Senate Majority Leader Seth Goodall said he's looking forward to a new challenge as the next regional administrator for the Small Business Administration. But Goodall's SBA appointment has created a political scramble for senate district 19, which includes his homebase of richmond. The empty seat presents a challenge for Democrats and an opportunity for Republicans.
Although Seth Goodall has spent a good part of his professional life as a Richmond lawyer and three-term state senator he said he's always been anxious to get back to his roots.
"I've always had a focus on small business," Goodall said. "My brother and I got an opportunity to start a small business pushing lawnmowers in Richmond," Goodall said. "He runs the company today. Over 40 people work for him in the summer. It was a real learning process for me during those early years."
Now Goodall will consult with hundreds of small business owners throughout New England. He will have a full schedule, working with office staff in evaluating applications from small business owners seeking SBA guarantees for loans from participating lenders. He'll also review other SBA programs to determine if they are meeting the goals of the agency. The SBA regional administrator is a position that's been awarded in the past to a number of emerging career politicians, including former Secretary of State Charlie Summers; former gubernatorial candidate Pat McGowan and Senator Susan Collins. But Jennifer Sporzynski said the agency plays an important role in helping develop business in New England.
"There are actually many programs that the SBA has that are utilized in Maine," Sporzynski said.
Sporzynski is the director of micro-enterprise resource and policy development at Coastal Enterprises Incorporated. She said she's particularly interested in working with Goodall on the SBA's-supported women's business center at CEI, which includes a focus on networking.
"It's been sort of shown that the way women interact particularly in opening their businesses through these networks and that offers support with one another and obviously a lot of opinions and input on how to improve your business or your product," Sporznski said. "So those are some of the things that we do with that program."
At the Portland Regional Chamber of Commerce, executive director Chris Hall said Goodall's ability to quickly size up problems and find common ground as a legislative leader should serve him well at the SBA which assists Maine businesses in a variety of ways.
"That's everything from writing a business plan to getting financing to making the next step of a successful business work," Hall said. "We find that the SBA are just tremendous partners for the Portland Regional Chamber and I think really all around the state."
With his resignation as Senate majority leader, Goodall vacates a District 19 state Senate seat that is hotly contested by several Republicans and Democrats vying for the job. The seat has been held by members of both parties over the last 20 years and is considered a swing district by election watchers. Republican party leaders were not immediately available for comment, but Lizzy Reinholt, communications director for the Maine Democratic Party, said her party plans to hold on to the seat...and maintain 19 of the 35 seats.
"It's a great opportunity to motivate our base in an off-year election and we also know that Mainers are frustrated right now," Reinholt said. "They're frustrated by the Republicans anti-middle class, anti-working agenda and they're ready to send another strong democrat like Seth to Augusta."
But Dan Demeritt, a political consultant and former communications director for Republican Governor Paul LePage, said it's a change for the GOP to pick up another seat in a closely divided Maine senate.
Gov. LePage is expected to set the date for a special election in District 19 later this summer.

The Advanced Sniper is a sniper rifle in The Ballad of Gay Tony.
The Advanced Sniper Rifle is based on the DSR-1 bolt-action sniper rifle manufactured and marketed by the German DSR-Precision GmbH. The ingame DSR-1 is the 7.62x51mm NATO variant, evidenced by its 26" barrel and the width of its magazine. Other variants are the .300 Winchester Magnum chambered with a 26" barrel, the .338 Lapua Magnum variant with a 29" barrel, a integrally suppressed, subsonic 7.62x51mm variant for covert operations and a .50 BMG variant (DSR-50) for anti-materiel applications. The DSR system is one of the most accurate rifles in the world with an unreal 0.2 MOA accuracy under favourable conditions. Like the DSR-1 in real life, the weapon in-game uses the Bullpup configuration, similar to that of the Assault SMG. The rifle feeds from the magazine behind the pistol grip, while the front magazine is in reserve for quick reloads. The weapon is also available with explosive rounds, which are incredibly powerful enough to take down most targets with one shot in single player, but the rounds are only as effective as a explosive shotgun round in multiplayer.
Its first encounter is during the mission Caught with your Pants Down, where the player must use it to free the APC for Yusuf. The weapon is also demonstrated by the "Terrorism Expert" during a pre-release Weazel News Report demonstrating weapons featured in The Ballad of Gay Tony.
After completing the mission Caught with your Pants Down, it can be purchased from Armando Torres for $4,750, and $200 for every additional magazine.

- "And is Lady Whent a true and honest friend to my father, Lord Hoster Tully of Riverrun?"
- ―Catelyn Stark
Shella Whent is an unseen character mentioned in the first season. She is discussed by Catelyn Stark and Willis Wode in "Cripples, Bastards and Broken Things." Lady Shella Whent is the head of House Whent and the Lady of Harrenhal.
Lady Shella Whent is an old woman. She's a loyal vassal of Hoster Tully, the Lord of Riverrun.
Season 1
To take Tyrion Lannister prisoner at the Inn at the Crossroads, Catelyn Stark asserts her origin as a daughter of House Tully and then tells a man of House Whent, Ser Willis Wode, that she recognizes the black bat of Harrenhal on his coat. He affirms Lady Shella Whent's loyalty to Lord Hoster Tully or Riverrun when asked and then helps her to arrest Tyrion.[1]
Season 2
During the War of the Five Kings, Harrenhal is occupied by the forces of House Lannister.[2] Lady Whent surrendered Harrenhal to Tywin Lannister after the Battle at the Mummer's Ford.[3]
In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Shella Whent was the Lady of Harrenhal until she surrendered the castle to forces belonging to House Lannister during the War of the Five Kings because she lacked the means to defend it. She is considered a friend of the Night's Watch.

Thursday December 27, 2012
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- A person familiar with the penalty says the NFL has fined Panthers quarterback Cam Newton $21,000 for abusive conduct toward a game official.
The person spoke to The Associated Press on Thursday on condition of anonymity because the league hasn't announced the fine.
Newton shouted at and bumped referee Jerome Boger in the fourth quarter of Carolina's penalty-plagued 17-6 victory over the Oakland Raiders on Sunday.
Newton apologized after the game, saying "the words that I said during the game were very disrespectful and I apologized to (Boger) during the game, but I'm going public and apologizing again. It was something in the heat of the moment."
Boger said he didn't feel the bump was enough to warrant an ejection because it "wasn't of a malicious nature."

| Doctor
Serial Killer
"House Cleaner"
|Modus Operandi
|No. of Victims
|Portrayed By

|First Appearance
|Look Who's Taunting
Esteban Navarro a.k.a. "The Miami Taunter" is a serial killer who appeared in season ten of CSI: Miami and is a significant enemy of Horatio Caine.
Esteban's history is not well known at this point. What is known is that he is a doctor at a local clinic and that his father develops condominiums and has connections in City Hall. He started torturing and killing prostitutes who entered his clinic, the first being a girl named Nikki Cervano. He then targeted another girl who came in with her by the name of Angela Olson.
Look Who's Taunting
While Esteban was torturing Angela her sister Jennifer was out looking for her and Esteban called her using Angela's phone. He told her that her sister was going to die and that she can say goodbye one last time. She asks what his name is and he replies that his name is Anton LeDoux. This lead to a tombstone where they found the body of Nikki and the police started investigating and eventually it turned to Esteban when his unique foot-shoes implicated him.
The CSIs tried to obtain evidence of Esteban's guilt but were stopped at every turn by Esteban's father and an old rival named Scott O'Shay. While they didn't find direct evidence they were eventually able to find Angela and rescue her before she was killed. Esteban wasn't worried though and simply stated that next time he would abduct and kill both sisters next time.
Dead Ringer
After this the news of the Miami Taunter gets out and the city is in chaos of the appearance of a new serial killer while the CSIs keep trying to gather evidence against Esteban. But then a new victim is found on the beach and his alibi for the murder is the CSIs survelience detail. They try to find evidence against him while investigating new suspects. Esteban tries to intimidate a girl into an alibi but she fails to provide one and Esteban and his bodyguard are arrested.
While investigating new evidence arises in the murder of the new girl named Vanessa Tillman that eventually leads to a man named Michael Galliver. He confesses to murdering her as well as the other victims. The CSIs believe him on Vanessa but not the others but don't get the chance to prove it when he is killed by Esteban's bodyguard and is "cleared". It turns out that the whole thing was arranged so Esteban could get away with murder.
Rest in Pieces
Another Miami Taunter victim, as well as a 30 year old skeleton are discovered on the Navarro beach property, and evidence links it to Diego, Esteban's father. The CSI team believe that Diego is then responsible for the murder of the John Doe, as well as the Miami Taunter murders, and charge him. However, at the commital hearing, evidence is thrown out of court because of Delko's relationship with Elizabeth Clarke.
Vina Navarro is introduced, and she is Diego's mother. The skeleton is revealed to be Diego's father, and in a scuffle, Diego is shot by Vina, supposedly in self-defence. Due to this, Esteban's murder room, as well as the missing eyeballs are discovered, and Esteban is charged with the Miami Taunter murders, and although it is not shown, it is assumed that he is found guilty, on account of DNA evidence at the scene.
After the court hearing, it is revealed that it is Vina, in fact, who killed Diego's father, and forced her son to cover it up. She then shot him in an attempt to prevent him from disclosing this fact. She then flees the country, while telling Caine that she looks forward to meeting him again.
Law and Disorder (Part 1)
He is mentioned when Samantha Owens was accused of mishandling evidence and he was let out of prison due to his lawyer, Darren Vogel's, claims. After this it is unknown if he was reincarcerated or set free altogether.
Modus Operandi
He selects his victims from when they enter his clinic and then picks them up in Liberty City, where they work as prostitutes, in his car and drives them to a secluded location and binds them. He then tortures his victims and calls someone that loves them and tells them to say goodbye one last time before they die. He tortures them by choking and cutting them out to the point of almost killing them. He then revives them with epinephrine to start the process all over again. When he's done he removes their eyes while they are alive and puts them in a jar as trophies. He then kills them and dump their bodies where it is convenient.

Elbowing through crowds. Darting from show to show. Not anymore, at least where FENDI is concerned. Today, the Italian label will be broadcasting its Fall/Winter 2014 show in Milan by drone. That's right – flying above the runway, the tiny little robot will take aerial pictures with a high-definition camera. The best part? Those photos will be immediately visible on the show's livestream. Meaning you can watch the show in sweats, from the comfort of your own couch. Take that, Anna Wintour.

We understand how hard it is to find parts and accessories for the 2005-2009 Ford Mustangs.
When the S197 Ford Mustang was released in 2005 a ton of new Mustang accessories opened and the race was on to outfit your Mustang GT or V6 with all the latest parts. Window louvers, side scoops, rear spoilers, window scoops, taillight panels, plenum covers and the list continued, but the flood gate slowed and new designs became scarce.
Looking through the publications of Mustang magazines and attending several Mustang car shows a year you'll be hard pressed to find new Mustang accessories and parts. Hanging out at a Mustang show in search of fresh Mustang accessories is like watching a Arnold Schwarzenegger action movie, you already know what's going to happen but maybe you'll be entertained.
Although Bangastang no longer sells Ford Mustang parts and accessories any longer, we can recommend many great suppliers like those seen on this page.
From the mustang GT plenum cover, whaletail spoiler, terminator radiator cover, mustang front splitter and many more, you will be sure to find these parts from suppliers.

Mobility, Globalization, and Antimicrobial Drug Resistance
Source: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
This Perspective article written by Douglas W. MacPherson, Brian D. Gushulak, William B. Baine, Shukal Bala, Paul O. Gubbins, Paul Holtom, and Marisel Segarra-Newnham*, appeared first in Emerging Infectious Diseases—a peer-reviewed, open access journal published by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention expressly to promote the recognition of new and reemerging infectious diseases around the world and improve the understanding of factors involved in disease emergence,/ prevention, and elimination.
The article is a verbatim version of the original and is not available for edits or additions by Encyclopedia of Earth editors or authors. Companion articles on the same topic that are editable may exist within the Encyclopedia of Earth.
Population Mobility, Globalization, and Antimicrobial Drug Resistance
Population mobility is a main factor in globalization of public health threats and risks, specifically distribution of antimicrobial drug–resistant organisms. Drug resistance is a major risk in healthcare settings and is emerging as a problem in community-acquired infections. Traditional health policy approaches have focused on diseases of global public health significance such as tuberculosis, yellow fever, and cholera; however, new diseases and resistant organisms challenge existing approaches. Clinical implications and health policy challenges associated with movement of persons across barriers permeable to products, pathogens, and toxins (e.g., geopolitical borders, patient care environments) are complex. Outcomes are complicated by high numbers of persons who move across disparate and diverse settings of disease threat and risk. Existing policies and processes lack design and capacity to prevent or mitigate adverse health outcomes. We propose an approach to global public health risk management that integrates population factors with effective and timely application of policies and processes.
Human mobility is causing an increase in antimicrobial drug–resistant organisms and drug-resistant infectious diseases. International population movement is an integral component of the globalization process. Current population movement dynamics rapidly and effectively link regions of marked health disparity, and these linkages can be associated with risk for importation of drug-resistant infectious diseases.
During the past century, developments in public health sanitation (1), infrastructure engineering (2), vaccines (3), and antimicrobial drugs have contributed substantially to the control of infectious diseases, markedly decreasing associated illness and death. These developments have largely occurred in economically advanced regions and have produced complacency and a belief that the public health threats posed by infectious diseases have been conquered. However, by the early 1990s, infectious diseases were again being identified as substantial domestic and international public health threats in and to western nations (4).
Although many infections of clinical relevance are effectively managed with the use of vaccines, antimicrobial drugs, or newer therapies, challenges to the control of infectious diseases remain. These challenges occur in industrialized and in developing countries and result at least in part from the failure of antimicrobial drugs to meet expectations for management and control of disease in clinical and public health contexts. Declining antimicrobial drug effectiveness has current and future consequences that affect all elements of the health sector, e.g., research and development, public health policy, service delivery, and payment programs. The emergence of antimicrobial drug resistance adversely affects patient care and threatens effective management of public health infectious diseases globally (5).
Antimicrobial drug failure may occur for many reasons, e.g., reduced adherence to drug therapy, suboptimal dosing, diagnostic and laboratory error, ineffective infection control, counterfeit or altered drugs, and resistance (innate or acquired). Although much attention is focused on resistance patterns of eubacteria (6), resistance is being found for virtually all microbial agents including mycobacteria (7,8), viruses (9,10), parasites (11,12), and fungi (13,14). Antimicrobial drug resistance phenotype is commonly described in terms of the resistance characteristics of the microorganism. These characteristics are either constitutionally based intrinsic characteristics of the organism or resistance factors acquired through induced genetic expression or gene transfer between organisms.
Human activities strongly affect acquired resistance. Emergence of drug resistance in environments that enable sharing of drug-resistance genes between organisms has been documented. Human activities that contribute to ecological niche pressures, such as antimicrobial drug use (15) and manufacturing or biological waste disposal into the environment (16,17), can support the development of resistance.
Against this background of diverse antimicrobial drug resistance, interregional migration and the processes associated with international population mobility can affect the spread and distribution of resistant organisms. These mechanisms of spread become increasingly common when people move among locations with disparate delivery of health services, public health systems, and regulatory frameworks for therapeutic drugs, particularly antimicrobial agents. We describe the role of population mobility in the dispersal of drug-resistant organisms and the emerging need for global standards, programs, and policies in the management of drug resistance, especially for mobile populations.
Population Mobility and Association with Infectious Diseases and Microbial Resistance
Each year, ≈2 billion persons move across large geographic distances; approximately half cross international boundaries (See:Table below). The International Air Transport Association reported that their members carried 1.6 billion passengers in 2007, among which 699 million flew internationally (24). The United Nations World Tourism Organization estimated 924 million international tourist arrivals in 2008 (19). International movements for permanent resettlement by immigrants, refugees, asylum seekers, or refugee claimants, and temporary movement by migrant workers and others augment the total international movements each year. The International Labour Organization stated that in 2004, an estimated 175 million persons (3% of the world's population) lived permanently outside their country of birth and that there were 81 million migrant workers (excluding refugees) globally (22).
Despite the magnitude of mobile populations, translating international movement statistics into imported disease risk is challenging for several reasons. Domestic surveillance systems generally report disease events and only occasionally refer to infection in the context of place of acquisition. Patients' travel or migration history may not be routinely gathered as part of the reporting requirements. Nevertheless, considerable information supports the belief that international population mobility plays a role in introducing antimicrobial drug–resistant disease, as follows.
Human Travel to Disease-Nonendemic or Low Disease–Endemicity Regions
Mobile population importation of drug-resistant infections and diseases is most evident where the expected frequency of the infection or disease is low or absent. For diseases in nonendemic areas, it can be fairly assumed that humans imported the disease. Many examples of imported multidrug-resistant (MDR) infectious diseases are associated with migrant populations, e.g., MDR Plasmodium falciparum malaria in immigrants, tourists, and returned foreign-born travelers (25–27). Tuberculosis in regions of low disease endemicity, such as western Europe and North America, is also related to the influx of persons from tuberculosis-hyperendemic areas (28). Tuberculosis in foreign-born persons can shift the local disease epidemiology from endemic to imported and includes the risk for MDR TB (29–32) and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) TB (33,34).
Geographic Tracking of Human-to-Human Transmitted Diseases and Drug Resistance over Time
The emergence of high-level resistance to penicillin G by Streptococcus pneumoniae, first described in South Africa in 1977, followed by resistance to multiple drugs is an example of international tracking of human-to-human disease and this organism over almost 4 decades. Modern molecular microbiologic techniques are now being used to confirm its global spread (35).
Similar studies have been conducted on the international spread of drug-resistant gonorrhea (36,37). Neisseria gonorrhoeae resistant to penicillin, tetracycline, and multiple other drugs, detected in Southeast Asia during the 1960s and 1970s, has been an emerging public health issue in the United States (38,39). The reported emergence of quinolone-resistant gonorrhea in the United States (40) followed a similar pattern of reactive public health response to the contribution of human mobility to international and then intranational spread. Successive treatment guidelines emphasize the importance of population mobility and the dispersal of resistant organisms in this illness (reference 41 in Technical Appendix [149 KB, 6 pages]). The convergence of a resistant threat with decreased access to effective alternative therapy (cefixime shortage) during 2002–2003 complicated management and control (reference 42 in Technical Appendix [149 KB, 6 pages]). Increasingly, development of clinical management guidelines for diagnosing and treating illness caused by many resistant organisms will refer to international differences in drug-resistance patterns (reference 43 in Technical Appendix [149 KB, 6 pages]).
Since multidrug– or methicillin–resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) was first reported in the United States in 1968, its prevalence in North American healthcare institutions has grown, contributing to increased (number and duration) hospital stays and an associated increased number and severity of cases and more deaths (references 44,45 in Technical Appendix [149 KB, 6 pages]). Recent descriptions of primary community-associated MRSA infections causing death have raised concerns about the control and management of this organism in not only North America but other locales worldwide as well (references 46,47 in Technical Appendix [149 KB, 6 pages]). Clinical and laboratory testing can link distant disease exposures to local isolation of resistant strains (references 48–50 in Technical Appendix [149 KB, 6 pages]). A worrying development of antimicrobial drug resistance in S. aureus has been the emergence and geographic extension of reduced susceptibility to vancomycin, which at one time was the reliable backup therapy for MRSA infections (references 51–53 in Technical Appendix [149 KB, 6 pages]). Although MRSA is not uniquely a human pathogen, the nature of its clinical distribution and ability to be carried in asymptomatic persons supports its association with human-to-human transmission over large distances.
Humans as Asymptomatic Carriers or Mobile Vectors of Antimicrobial Drug–Resistant Organisms
As with MRSA, humans can asymptomatically carry and transmit other cutaneous, enteric, or respiratory microbial flora from zones of high to low prevalence. Some of these organisms may have innate drug resistance or may reflect acquired resistance patterns that are not typical of locally acquired disease. Typhoid disease, Shigella, and Campylobacter infections are a few of many other enteric infections for which humans are documented carriers (references 54–56 in Technical Appendix [149 KB, 6 pages]).
Recently, the potential for drug-resistant influenza viruses with emergent and pandemic potential has captured considerable global health attention (references 57–59 in Technical Appendix [149 KB, 6 pages]). The local appearance of novel influenza strains with rapid global distribution raises questions about the role of human mobility in the spread and distribution of drug-resistant viruses (reference 60 in Technical Appendix [149 KB, 6 pages]). Although local antiviral drug pressure is associated with rapid appearance of resistance, drug-resistant strains of influenza have also been associated with importation (reference 61 in Technical Appendix [149 KB, 6 pages]).
The role of international tourists, travelers, or migrants colonized with antimicrobial drug–resistant organisms, in terms of transmission potential when they arrive in areas of a low disease prevalence, is difficult to detect and largely unexplored (reference 62 in Technical Appendix [149 KB, 6 pages]). The reality of this risk is illustrated when persons obtain healthcare services outside their normal place of residence. Wounded military personnel and a group often referred to as medical tourists are at increased risk of acquiring nosocomial infections caused by drug-resistant organisms and of subsequently importing their infections when they repatriate to their country of residency.
Additionally, the role of international facilities that provide dental, surgical, medical, diagnostic, and therapeutic services to international travelers is expanding (reference 63 in Technical Appendix [149 KB, 6 pages]). Health services in other countries may be provided in regulatory and standardization environments that differ from those at the patients' place of origin. The estimated risk for hospital-acquired infections in developing countries is 2–20× greater than that in industrialized countries (reference 64 in Technical Appendix [149 KB, 6 pages]). Antimicrobial drug–resistance patterns may also differ, as may health services, infection control practices, and public health requirements for surveillance and reporting of antimicrobial drug resistance. The extension and transfer of nosocomial infections between regions and within the community has been well documented at the national level (references 65–67 in Technical Appendix [149 KB, 6 pages]). As more high-risk and vulnerable populations travel internationally, either requiring or planning medical or surgical care abroad, or as migrants enter countries seeking healthcare services not available in their own countries, the international consequences of imported drug-resistant infections will be seen more frequently.
In some scenarios, linking the emergence of antimicrobial drug resistance and international mobility can be challenging. Given the global prevalence of many common organisms, their role in causing infections in high-risk populations (e.g., the elderly and patients with concurrent conditions such as diabetes, renal failure, malignancy, or immune compromise or patients who have had abdominal surgery) or certain institutional environments (e.g., intensive care units, burn units, long-term care facilities) may create similar local pressures potentially leading to multifocal emergence of drug resistance. Regardless of whether simultaneous multifocal emergence of resistance is a factor, unaffected areas will be linked to affected areas through mobilization of persons from zones of high to low prevalence. Microbial identification and typing systems, antibiograms, and new technologies for identifying genetic clones and "fingerprints" of microbes are better at defining the origin and patterns of spread of MDR organisms.
Local monitoring of susceptibility patterns combined with knowledge of emerging drug resistance, regionally or internationally, is already recognized as a component of some resistant infections such as MDR TB and XDR TB. Growing population mobility makes local monitoring an increasingly important component of routine surveillance for antimicrobial resistance.
Role of International Policies, Processes, and Globalization in the Control of Imported Antimicrobial Drug–Resistant Diseases
Since development of the first international maritime sanitation regulations in 1832, coordinated international responses have been required to manage common threats. Such undertakings have always had to balance the benefits of mitigation with the negative effects of disease control interventions on international trade and commerce (reference 68 in Technical Appendix [149 KB, 6 pages]). The modern version of these regulations, the International Health Regulations, focuses on a limited number of diseases and outbreaks of international public health significance for surveillance and reporting but only peripherally addresses population mobility and drug-resistance patterns (reference 69 in Technical Appendix [149 KB, 6 pages]).
The association of international movements of conveyances, goods, and people with introductions of disease and vectors has been long recognized (references 70–71 in Technical Appendix [149 KB, 6 pages]). Human travel, trade, and commerce have frequently been implicated in the redistribution of diseases. Examples include yellow fever in the 18th and 19th centuries, anopheline mosquito malaria vectors in the 1930s, and, more recently, Aedes albopictus and dengue, the extension of West Nile Virus infection into North America, and the spread of chikungunya infections in Europe (references 72–76 in Technical Appendix [149 KB, 6 pages]). No specific antimicrobial therapies are available for yellow fever, dengue, West Nile, and chikungunya viruses, among others. Expanding human population mobility will affect and influence the spread, introduction, and endemicity of resistant and untreatable microbes because infections are unequally and rather unpredictably distributed around the world.
Proposed Approach to Global Public Health Risk Management
As recently demonstrated by influenza A pandemic (H1N1) 2009 virus, the volume, rapidity, and complexity of international movements exceed current international disease control practices (reference 77 in Technical Appendix [149 KB, 6 pages]). Effective responses require engagement of local capacities, standardization of practices, multisectorial partnerships, and rigorous health intelligence with threat and risk assessment. The spread and introduction of resistant infections may not be preventable; but planning, recognition, and coordinated response can mitigate the consequences. Specifically, to control antimicrobial drug resistance and international movement of disease risk associated with human mobility, greater international collaboration and standardization are needed in the following areas:
- Prescriber education, training, and invigilation in terms of antimicrobial drug stewardship for good patient care and reduction of risk for emerging drug resistance.
- Infection control training, certification, and practice.
- Laboratory methods, proficiency testing, and quality management.
- Active and passive surveillance systems, including routine gathering of travel and migration history, rapid analysis, and reporting.
- Engagement of process and regulatory tools unrelated to public health but related to health outcomes, e.g., good manufacturing practices and quality systems for medical devices and pharmaceuticals (references 78,79 in Technical Appendix [149 KB, 6 pages]).
- Pharmaceutical security systems for standard and quality medicines. (The importance of this issue relevant to drug effectiveness, patient safety, and emergence of resistance appeared in a United States Pharmacopeia drug quality report from countries associated with the US Agency for International Development; the report indicated that antibiotic drugs, antimalarial drugs, antituberculous drugs, and antiretroviral agents for treatment of HIV/AIDS were found to be commonly substandard or counterfeit [reference 80 in Technical Appendix [149 KB, 6 pages]]. Even in industrialized countries, counterfeit drugs may enter the marketplace either directly from local illegal producers or through international portals such as importation or Internet pharmacy access [references 81–83 in Technical Appendix [149 KB, 6 pages].])
- Animal and plant health sector engagement. (Not only do subtherapeutic, subquality antiinfective therapies and low-level environmental antimicrobial drugs affect illness and death at the human level, but they also have the potential for emergence of drug resistance at the microbial level [references 84–88 in Technical Appendix [149 KB, 6 pages].])
Although all the above-listed efforts are essential, none will be sufficient without integrating the role played by humans and their international movement into modeling the complex relationship with antimicrobial drug resistance and microorganisms (reference 89 in Technical Appendix [149 KB, 6 pages]). Enhanced global surveillance and population mapping demarcating differential zones of disease prevalence and major health disparities will support targeted interventions such as routine drug sensitivity analyses for infections originating in certain situations.
Acknowledging the dynamic role of population mobility in emerging risks to public health is a first step in formulating an effective response, but other components will be needed if this risk is to be successfully mitigated (reference 90 in Technical Appendix [149 KB, 6 pages]). Components of this response will include the following:
- Accurate and robust assessment of threat to risk management based on modern population characteristics that include mobility, travel, and migration history.
- Mitigation of risk through nonhealth partnerships in other sectors, including economics and trade, education, agriculture, and security, all of which will affect the determinants of health, regional disease outcomes, and critical decision making for effective intervention and control.
- Augmenting local knowledge and timely communications related to populations expressing emerging disease threats and risks and linking early detection through diagnostic and confirmatory epidemiologic tools and medical technology.
Although the association of human movement with antimicrobial drug resistance is not new, the extent of risk to public health caused by population mobility and drug-resistant infections is increasing. A shift in the existing paradigm of pathogen-focused policies and programs would contribute to a healthier future for everyone. The shift should address population mobility as a part of an integrated approach to decrease globalization of infectious disease threats and risks.

well i just started programming a few days ago. ive messed around and made a few programs. calculator, web browser, basic char movement on bitmap, and a bitmap editor. and i wanted to see if i could make a basic 2d rpg. maybe only an hour or 2 long game. but i dont know all i would have to do. im still learning, but i learn fairly quickly. so if anyone knows a good guide or anything that might help, suggestion/advice, it would be greatly appreciated. oh and im using visual basic 2010 express. thanks in advance.

I agree with what everyone else says, you should really learn general programming and thoroughly understand the basics before you attempt such an ambitious project such as an RPG.
Having said that I do hate when people just throw there personal beliefs at you instead of answering your question. (basically everyone that commented)
This book takes you from not knowing how to program anything to implementing a fully 3D RPG including controls, sound, collision detection, enemy spawning and all the other elements needed for a good game. At the end you have something resembling a baulders gate style game.
Microsoft Visual Basic Game Programming for Teens
That being said if you are serious about making games visual basic is not the way to go. I like C++ but that can be hard so I do advise finishing the book, at least then you will know what you are talking about and can ask more precise questions.
Good luck
I walked down this road many years ago. I tried many things; the easiest was definitely to use RPG Maker XP. It's free for 30 days, and it's pretty cheap to buy. It will give you a working engine; you just plug in content, no coding is necessary (only scripting).
I really recommend you start with that, and then move on to actual programming if you still find it enjoyable.
