MoMA Nights with Widowspeak
Thursday, August 28, 2014, 5:30–8:00 p.m.
Musical acts for the 2014 series feature an array of vibrant, creative women who are making their mark on today's music scene. Veterans and up-and-coming artists perform a range of musical styles, including dream and synth pop, alt-folk, surf rock, neo-soul, and pop punk.
Tonight's Musical Performance: Widowspeak
Molly Hamilton, vocals and guitar; Robert Earl Thomas, guitar
Widowspeak is an American band known for its wistful, Western-tinged take on rock 'n' roll. The group formed in 2010 and released two singles in 2011 ("Harsh Realm" and "Gun Shy") followed by a self-titled debut album that summer, all on the Brooklyn label Captured Tracks. Widowspeak has been praised for its reverential spaciousness, Hamilton's haunting voice, and Thomas's spindly, Morricone-esque guitar lines. The music draws on 1950s pop ballads and 1970s psych, and features languid call-and-response melodies. The band has toured extensively, wearing in its warm, nostalgic sound. The Swamps is Widowspeak's newest release. Here the band's characteristic sonic landscapes, poignant harmonies, and layers of delicate guitar-work usher in a new chapter. Inspired by the light-choked wetlands of its title, the album brims with songs about fears of stagnation and the pitfalls of nostalgia, but never relinquishes Widowspeak's melodic optimism.
Set begins at 6:30 p.m. Regular Museum admission applies. Performances take place in the Sculpture Garden. In the event of rain, the Garden will close, and music will take place in Theater 1. Please note: Sculpture Garden and indoor seating are limited and on a first-come, first-served basis.
Musical acts in July are presented in conjunction with the exhibition One-Way Ticket: Jacob Lawrence Migration Series and Other Visions of the Great Movement North. Organized in collaboration with Jazz at Lincoln Center and Harlem Stage, each musician featured reflects the next generation of rising stars who will have an impact on jazz for years to come, and each has her or his own personal tale of migration. Drawing from genres including hip-hop, R&B, Latin, soul, jazz, gospel, and New Orleans second line, these artists are expanding musical boundaries with contemporary soul and swing.
Dates in August feature four buzzworthy bands. The music spans a range of genres from electronic to R&B, from post-punk to indie rock—and everything in between. Each concert begins with an opening set at 5:30 p.m. by a DJ from Newtown Radio. These evenings are organized by MoMA PopRally. For more information, visit moma.org/poprally and follow @MoMAPopRally on Twitter.
Snacks and beverages in the Sculpture Garden
Seasonal snacks, chef's-choice small plates, and specialty cocktails, draft beer, wine, and nonalcoholic beverages are available for purchase in the Sculpture Garden on Thursday nights. The Garden Bar, located at the northeast corner of the Sculpture Garden, sells savory and sweet treats, including baguette sandwiches and homemade soft pretzels with dipping sauces, locally made gelato from Il Laboratorio del Gelato, wine, beer, and specialty cocktails. In the event of rain, bars will be closed.
Terrace dining (rain or shine)
Terrace 5, located on the fifth floor, serves chef Daniel Jackson's light, seasonal cuisine, with a view overlooking the Sculpture Garden. During MoMA Nights, in conjunction with the Museum's concerts and other programming, Terrace 5 will offer a special of a half-dozen oysters paired with a glass of champagne for $20, both inside and (weather-permitting) on the terrace, as well as a focused à la carte menu of raw bar items, wine, and beer. The 10% MoMA member discount is not applicable.

The development of a quality tourism label for Maine's inland tourist activites is underway. In the second of a two-part series, MPBN Morning Edition host Irwin Gratz talks with Associate Professor Harold Daniel of the University of Maine, and David Vail, a professor Emeritus at Bowdoin College about the initiative. Professor Daniel says a "label" can signal not only the quality of tourist establishments, but something about the overall experience.
Professors David Vail and Harold Daniel spoke with MPBN Morning Edition host Irwin Gratz, in the second of a two-part interview. Their most recent research on the topic of quality labels for tourists is in the current edition of the Maine Policy Review.

"I love these cards they are exactly what I was looking for and the process was easy with wonderful customer service and prompt processing and shipping!"
"I was a little nervous about my cards since I had never used you before, but I got them today and I am happy to say they are great! I will use you again. Suzanne"
"Having worked for a competitor's company i was skeptical about ordering but needed my business cards to arrive before an event - which Tinyprints' super rush made possible. I was pleasantly surprised by the wonderful thickness and soft texture of the card stock that arrived. The digital printing colors are accurate and my custom artwork printed clean and beautifully to the edge of the card. I made it to my event, fresh cards in hand, and will definitely reorder when I need more."
"May personalized with my own photos and glad may change the colors of backgrounds For probably more happy if more choice on the colors for the writing"
"I couldn't be happier with the business cards I ordered from tinyprints. They copied my design beautifully and the font is exquisite. But most of all I appreciate the weight and heft of the cards. Not flimsy. Everyone has been very impressed. Thanks, tinyprints."

Still Missing: Where is 7-Year-Old Kyron?
September 17, 2013
In 2010, the disappearance of 7-year-old Kyron Horman grabbed headlines across the nation, and the case still remains unsolved. Kyron's divorced parents, Desiree and Kaine, stopped communicating several months into the search for their son. Now, the parents reunite in an exclusive interview with Dr. Phil. Hear why Desiree and Kaine say they think Kyron's stepmother, Terri, knows more than she's admitting. What do they think may have happened to Kyron — and why? And, are they willing to put aside past differences and work together?
More than 16 million kids in the United States are at risk for hunger each day. Fortunately, you can help. Visit Feeding America to find your local food bank. And, help Dr. Phil raise enough money for 10 million meals. Donate today!
Kyron's DisappearanceKyron Horman was last seen on the morning of June 4, 2010, when his stepmother, Terri, says they attended a school science fair. Kyron's father, Kaine, discovered that his son was missing when the boy did not get off the school bus that afternoon. Kaine says the school secretary informed him that Kyron had been marked as absent and had not been there all day.
Both Kaine and Kyron's mother, Desiree, say their suspicions have long centered on Terri — but she has never been named a suspect or even a person of interest in the case.
Terri's Inconsistencies?Desiree claims that since the beginning, there have been inconsistencies in Terri's account of what happened the morning Kyron went missing. "She lied about where she was positioned when she saw Kyron and the last place that she saw him," Desiree says.
Kaine tells Dr. Phil that he shares Desiree's suspicions. "[Terri] gave us her account of what happened that day, and the story to [Desiree] and the story to me on multiple different occasions didn't line up," he says.
Desiree also claims that she has read emails from Terri to her friends saying she hated Kyron. "She states very clearly that she shared her feelings with Kaine," Desiree says.
But, Kaine is adamant he had no idea about Terri's supposed feelings. "I haven't seen any emails, so hearing that — that's a little bit of a shock to me," Kaine says.
"Kyron would never have left the school on his own." Hear why Kaine and Desiree say they don't think Terri's story adds up.
"Do you think [Kaine] should have seen something?" Dr. Phil asks Desiree. Plus, why did Kaine refuse a recent request to search his yard?
Feelings of Regret"In the year before Kyron went missing, we started seeing a lot of behavior that indicated something was wrong," Desiree says. She explains that Kyron had started wetting the bed and would become very upset when he had to go back to his father's house.
"I think it was just typical for a child his age making transitions between households," Kaine insists.
Desiree also says Terri asked her to take full custody of Kyron, but Kaine told her that it was not an option. "I should have fought harder, and I would go back in a second to fix it if I could," Desiree says, through tears. "I will never in this lifetime forgive myself."
More to the Story?Desiree says she believes Terri may have wanted to hurt Kyron to get back at Kaine. Shortly after Kyron went missing, Kaine filed for a restraining order against Terri and a divorce, claiming that she had tried to hire a landscaper to kill him. Terri was never charged.
Desiree says she fears Kaine may have been cheating on Terri — an allegation he denies. Desiree says Kaine only admitted to cheating on her with Terri seven-and-a-half years later, after Kyron went missing.
"I told Kaine when you're married to the devil and you give her a reason to be pissed off, all of your sins are going to come back."
Why have there never been any charges in the case? Attorney Christopher Chatham explains the legal considerations.
Polygraph expert Jack Trimarco explains that it is typical to polygraph the parents of a missing child, the last person who saw the child and the person who reported the disappearance. Kaine and Desiree say they both took polygraphs immediately — and passed.
Statement from Terri's AttorneyTerri Horman declined to be interviewed, but her attorney, Steve Houze, provided this statement:
"I am writing in reply to your email requesting an interview with my client, Ms. Horman. Because there is a pending legal matter, the ethical rules of our profession do not permit party, or counsel, to such a pending matter to make public comments on the merits of the matter."
Moving ForwardDr. Phil tells Desiree and Kaine that it is vital for them to start talking to each other again, in the interest of finding Kyron. "I know y'all got a divorce and you can be mad at each other later, but you have a bigger agenda here," he says.
The parents agree to communicate and share information.
Dr. Phil also talks to Pastor Angel Arroyo, who was involved in the search for three young women in Ohio, who were found in May 2013 — nearly a decade after they vanished.
"You owe it to yourself to continue to search because he's your son," Pastor Arroyo tells Kaine and Desiree, encouraging them to never give up hope that Kyron will come home.
If you have any information about Kyron Horman, contact the Tip Line at (503) 261-2847. If you see Kyron, call 911 immediately.

Sorcerer's apprentice...Good idea! Looking forward to see how this will evolve
This will be the Lair of the Sorcerer's Apprentice. Beekham had not considered just how old Trell the Sorcerer was when he won an apprenticeship with him. The first 6 months had passed as expected for a young mage apprentice, lots of drudge work, a little bit of magic. He was just reaching the point where Trell was starting to teach him some real magic when the worst possible thing happened. Trell went to bed and did not wake up. It was not fair that Trell died leaving Beekham so untrained. But that did not stop the young wizard. Now he had access to all of Trell's books and equipment. Beekham started to experiment, to teach himself. That's where things went bad. Beekham became obsessed, he lacked guidance and wisdom, and he tried any kind of magic he thought he could learn. It was bad enough when some of his experiments got loose, but when he started sacrificing people from the nearby village they decided they needed to get rid of him. The village hired a group of adventurers to rid them of this young sorcerer before he does more damage. The lair is a few miles out of town. They are given a key to unlock the main door by an old farmer who had been Trell's friend. Unfortunately neither he nor anyone else had ever been inside, so the layout of the lair is unknown.
I just started working on this map so this is just a rough beginning.
### Latest WIP ###
Sorcerer's apprentice...Good idea! Looking forward to see how this will evolve
got a feelin this is gonna be really cool...I particularly like how you did the outside stream.
I like how you shaded the edge of the cavern walls..but, if the rest of the complex is also underground, then perhaps it would also benefit from having that same shading going around it?

Thanks AC, I have to work on the interior shading, doors, and details next.
I really like the slightly different shading on the cavern wall, it makes that part appear gloomier, very cool. Of course I would probably chuck in some dirt and rubble in the corners. Stuff will probably collect there, especially since the apprentice doesn't have an apprentice to sweep up!
Also kudos for making the map big. I really like having extra room to play with on battlemaps and this map offers the possibility of very mobile encounters that "range all over"!
Thanks. I was thinking the exact some thing about your map, full size, plenty of room to print it out and have the players run around on it.

Thank you all so very much for the kind words and sharing. I found it so very hard to hold back the tears today. It snowed here today, he liked the snow and last year it only snowed one time... On halloween. Today was our first snow of the season, I feel like maybe he was trying to send me a message. No matter what, my life was forever changed all because he chose to have ME in HIS life. For that I am forever thankful for. Many hearts and hugs to all who, like me, lost their heart dogs and special friends. It is a sad bond that unites us but in some cases, it is what brought us together in the first place.
Just a question... I have seen people make recommendations about books on here... Can anyone do that again, I cannot seem to find that thread. One book was written I believe from the Golden Retrievers perspective. Thank you!
Speak to my baby softly, please
with a hug and warm hello.
He's a special gift to you, dear Lord
from me-who loved him so.

I am sorry for the loss a year ago. I went back and did some reading and he sounds a lot like my dog. I know how it feels and I think the only thing that helped me get through was taking care of my 8 month old baby girl.

I'm so sorry you lost you precious Mac so young like I lost Chopper. I have a lot of anger over the fact I feel he was robbed of living out his old golden years. Sadly if you look at a picture taken the week before the Lyme nephrosis became apparent and then look at his last picture... He did get to the old golden years far two quickly. He aged so terribly in a matter of days. I am also equally sorry for Oakley's family. The first few days/weeks were the hardest. I couldn't even bring myself to shampoo the carpet in the spots he was so ill in, I didn't want to erase my best friend. I didn't even go home for the first couple days. I did get myself a new golden friend. His name is Boomer. He's quite different from Chopper but he's teaching me how soooo very special each Golden is and that they are all unique. I felt guilty even getting him but then I thought to myself... As much as I loved my Chopper he would want me to love again. He knew that he was the absolute light of my life. He was who I came home too in the early morning after work. He was always willing to sleep the day away with me. Boomer is getting used to this too. It will come with time. And as crazy as it sounds Chopper, even in his sudden passing, was helping me. He made me see things about people I was previously blind to. His leaving me sent my life in a completely different direction... All for the better, except I still miss him each and everyday. The loss of our sweet companions can be such a profound loss that sometimes it's harder than other losses we may experience. I always said if Chopper's story helps one dog make it to his senior years without such a freak occurance ... Then he and I have done our jobs. Bless you all for your support then and your continued support. I make it my personal pay-it-back/forward by checking in on this forum to see if I can give someone the words of inspiration I was fortunate enough to be provided with by so many wonderful, caring people!
Speak to my baby softly, please

What a beautiful poem (even though I am still crying). Seven is far too young and I know how much it has to hurt that Chopper is not there with you to enjoy your new home which sounds like a paradise for any golden. I'm glad you opened your heart to another dog because you have so much love to share.

Illinois students looking for flexibility are increasingly turning to cyberspace for high school courses.
Enrollment in the state-run Illinois virtual high school has gone up in the past year, and school director Matthew Wicks expects the numbers to grow this fall.
Wicks says students are going online because they're looking for courses not offered at their own schools. They're making up classes or they're trying to juggle work, sports or other activities.

Let Nature Touch Your Soul
Coming from New York City where I see mostly man-made waste, construction, and noise pollution, I long to vacation in a natural, relaxing setting. Chaa Creek provides an exciting experience in an unspoiled environment that I would love to getaway in! I can just picture myself relaxing in one of the beautifully decorated rooms surrounded by the natural sounds of the jungle, rather than loud city sounds of car sirens and the commotion of the city. I love that Chaa Creek offers so many ways to encounter the organic beauty of Belize, through bird-watching tours, exploring archaeological ruins, relaxing in a spa in the middle of the jungle, or even just relaxing and listening to the peacefulness and tranquility of the Macal River.

MDM (mobile device management) is a must-have service for many of your customers and a great way to increase your monthly recurring revenue — if you take the right approach.
Most MSPs are well aware of the fact that the BYOD (bring your own device) trend is real for their customers. It's also obvious that there are opportunities to manage mobile devices. Yet many service providers haven't figured out how to capitalize on this opportunity. I spoke with several industry experts about this matter and, among them, Alistair Forbes, general manager at GFI MAX, summed up the problem — and opportunity — best: "Mobile devices have overtaken conventional computing devices in the market. Yet very few MSPs have defined a service proposition around MDM — many are supporting mobile devices in an ad hoc fashion and often without managing to bill for these services as they have not structured this as part of their overall service offering." Forbes and several other industry experts agree that the market for a well-defined MDM service offering, in which the benefits are articulated in a clear manner and allows MSPs to charge for the service, is a huge and almost untapped opportunity right now.
Defining Customers' MDM Needs
The first step in developing a successful MDM offering is discerning why your customers even need this service. According to Marco LaVecchia, VP of channel sales, North America, AVG Managed Workplace, "By far, the most important need is security, and this covers not only personal information, like credit card numbers, but also sensitive corporate data. More than two-thirds of small businesses rank security as a paramount concern, so comprehensive monitoring and management for Macbooks, iPads, iPhones, and Android smartphones and tablets is critical. Users must be able to lock down devices, remove pass codes, wipe them, delete devices, and mark them as lost."
Because the churn rate on mobile devices is so much faster than traditional workstations (e.g., cellphone users typically update their phones every two years, whereas most PCs aren't replaced for at least five years), Forbes says provisioning services is also a top customer need. "This device churn means that keeping track of the devices in use [i.e., asset management], and tracking which services they are accessing and which applications they are running, are difficult challenges. And using manual methods to achieve this simply is not practical," he says. "An MDM solution can give visibility into the number, type, and configuration of devices and can be used for location tracking in applications where this is appropriate."
It's also important to keep in mind that not all mobile devices in use by your customers' employees are the employees' personal devices; sometimes employers purchase tablets or smartphones to enable their workers to be more productive. "In these cases, application whitelisting and blacklisting controls are a top priority," says Tony Thomas, director of product management at LabTech Software. "In other words, business owners need to make sure employees are not installing nonbusiness apps on mobile devices that have been designated for use in the work environment."
Focus Your MDM Sales Efforts On Clients In Regulated Industries First
Mobile devices are making their way into every vertical market, but that doesn't mean you should take a horizontal approach to uncovering MDM sales opportunities. For some of your customers, MDM will be perceived as a "nice to have," but there are others that recognize it as a "must-have." Finding that latter group will greatly improve your win rate. "Any vertical with its eye on compliance such as healthcare [HIPAA], finance [FINRA, Sarbanes-Oxley], and banking [FDIC, PCI] will require MDM," says Brandon Shopp, senior director of product management at N-able by SolarWinds. "Additionally, decision makers in these verticals are not concerned with or distracted by BYOD; they rely on corporate management for their machines and devices and readily accept that all mobile devices used in the work environment are going to be managed."
Don't assume, however, that just because you encounter prospects in a regulated industry that they understand the potential risks mobile devices present. "The users of these mobile devices often are not fully aware of the potential risks they run if they do not have effective security and management systems in place for these devices, so it is incumbent on the MSP to outline the issues as well as the ways in which an MDM service addresses those risks," says Forbes.
The Top MDM Sales Challenges And Pitfalls To Watch Out For
Even if you've honed in on the right vertical markets and you understand the common drivers behind MDM purchases, there are still a few challenges you should anticipate before selling MDM. The first challenge is presented by clients who don't recognize their need to manage mobile devices. "According to recent industry research, about half of mobile device users don't feel that there is a big enough security threat to warrant the investment in MDM," says LaVecchia. "Also, many of these respondents feel that they lacked knowledge about MDM, so education will be crucial in convincing these prospects that they need MDM. As an industry, we need to inform SMBs about the importance of mobile security."
One pitfall to watch out for, according to Shopp, is trying to sell MDM as a stand-alone service. "MDM is a subset of mobility management, which encompasses other management disciplines such as mobile application and content management," he says. "MDM is the foundation of a strong mobility management strategy, but it should not be a partner's sole focus. The MDM portion of mobility management has largely been commoditized to the point where even native features in Exchange ActiveSync are good enough for many environments." The key, he says, is bundling MDM with other mobility management solutions and services.
Alistair Forbes, general manager, GFI MAX
Out of all the MDM challenges, however, the one that causes MSPs the most headaches is figuring out how to define the service, price it, and present it to customers in a way that demonstrates why it's worth paying for. "One approach is to consider moving away from a device-based pricing model to a user-based pricing model," advises Forbes. "The challenge of building MDM into the overall service offering can be eased significantly by taking a more holistic approach to the service. This will pay dividends in the introduction of MDM services, and the same approach will make it easier to add complementary cloud-based services down the road."
After the initial sale, dealing with mobile device owners can present another set of challenges. "'You're not going to do anything to my phone.' 'I don't want you to see any of my personal text messages, read my email, or see what sites I'm going to.' These objections represent real concerns MSPs will face when managing mobile devices," says Thomas. "The misconception is that by managing users' personal mobile devices, you'll have the capability to spy on them, too. It's important to state in the form of a BYOD policy or IT services excerpt in your customer's employee handbook that mobile device management is about service, not spying [i.e., what we do vs. what we do not do]."
Forbes concurs with Thomas and adds, "Segregation of personal and business data and applications is being introduced into MDM solutions, but it is still relatively early in its development. There are also limitations with different devices and device families, and they cannot all be managed the same way. MSPs must understand both the capabilities and the limitations of the MDM solution so that they are very clear with their customers which services they are able to provide on each mobile platform."

Vol State Grant Will Redesign Developmental Math
Submitted on October 26, 2010 at 8:42 AM
Volunteer State Community College has been awarded a NCAT grant to redesign the developmental math program at the College. The Changing the Equation program is run by the National Center for Academic Transformation (NCAT.) The 38 two-year institutions nationwide selected to participate will work to improve student learning outcomes while reducing costs for both students and institutions.
"These changes will provide a great opportunity for students who barely missed the cut-off for developmental coursework to get caught up and get into regular math classes," said Nancy Morris, dean of Math and Science at Vol State. "This allows the learner to progress from the point where they are, rather than having the entire class move in tandem."
Vol State will redesign its entire developmental math program using the NCAT Emporium Model, in conjunction with Tennessee Board of Regents guidelines. The redesign will modularize the curriculum, allowing students to progress through the developmental program at a faster pace if possible or at a slower pace if necessary, spending the amount of time needed to master the course content.

Skin and Wound Cultures
Test Overview
A skin or wound culture is a test to find and identify germs (such as bacteria, a fungus, or a virus) that may be growing on the skin or in a wound. A sample of skin, tissue, or fluid is collected from the affected area and placed in a container with a substance (called growth medium or culture medium) that helps organisms grow. If nothing important grows, the culture is negative. If something that can cause infection grows, the culture is positive. The type of organisms may be identified with a microscope, chemical tests, or both.
Most bacteria can grow in oxygen. They are called aerobic bacteria and usually are found in wounds close to the skin surface (superficial). Bacteria that cannot grow in the presence of oxygen (anaerobic) usually are found in deeper wounds and abscesses. A wound culture can find out whether bacteria are aerobic or anaerobic.
A fungal culture is done to find out if an infection is caused by a fungus. A viral culture can be done to find out whether an infection is caused by a virus.
Some types of bacteria that normally live on or in the body can cause an infection if they go to parts of the body where they are not normally found. For example, E. coli bacteria are normally found in the colon and anus. But if E. coli bacteria spread from the anus to the urethra, the bacteria may cause a urinary tract infection (UTI).
If a skin or wound culture is positive, other tests may be done to help choose the best medicine to treat the infection. This is called sensitivity testing.
Culture samples may also be collected from the ear or eye, from open or closed sores, or from nails and hair.
Why It Is Done
A skin or wound culture is done to:
- Find the cause of an infection in a sore, burn, surgical wound, or injury. An injury includes animal bites, human bites, marine stings or scrapes, cuts, and puncture wounds that are more likely to get infected.
- Make decisions about the best treatment for an infection. This is called sensitivity testing.
How To Prepare
You do not need to do anything before you have this test. If you are taking or have recently taken antibiotics, tell your doctor.
Talk to your doctor about any concerns you have regarding the need for the test, its risks, how it will be done, or what the results will mean. To help you understand the importance of this test, fill out the medical test information form(What is a PDF document?).
How It Is Done
To collect a tissue or fluid sample from a wound, a sterile swab is inserted into the wound. The health professional collecting the sample may press around the wound and gently turn the swab to collect as much tissue or fluid as possible. The swab is then placed into either an aerobic or anaerobic culture tube or both, depending on the type of organism suspected.
A needle may be used to collect fluid from a wound that is covered (scabbed-over) or from an abscess. The fluid is then placed in the culture tube.
Your doctor may need to remove a sample of skin or tissue (biopsy) for testing. If collecting the sample is likely to cause pain, you may be given a shot to numb the area (local anesthetic) first.
Once a sample is collected, it is placed in a container with a substance (called growth medium or culture medium) that helps bacteria, fungus, or viruses grow.
- Bacteria usually need about 1 to 2 days to grow.
- Fungi usually need several days to grow.
- Viruses need to be placed in a container with living cells and can take weeks to grow.
Any bacteria, fungi, or viruses that grow will be identified with a microscope, chemical tests, or both. If sensitivity testing is done to help make decisions about treatment, more time will be needed.
How It Feels
If you have a sample of fluid or tissue collected from a wound, you may feel some pain when the sample is collected. You may feel a short, sharp sting if you are given a shot of anesthetic to numb the area where the culture sample will be taken.
There is a very slight risk of spreading some infections if a biopsy is needed to collect the sample.
A skin or wound culture is a test to find and identify germs (such as bacteria, a fungus, or a virus) that may be growing on the skin or in a wound.
Some types of bacteria, fungi, and viruses grow quickly in culture, and some grow slowly. Test results may take from one day to several weeks, depending on the type of infection suspected.
No large numbers of harmful germs are found on the skin or in the wound. Normal culture results are negative.
Harmful germs are found on the skin or in the wound. Abnormal culture results are positive.
If test results are positive, sensitivity testing may be done help make decisions about treatment.
What Affects the Test
Reasons you may not be able to have the test or why the results may not be helpful include:
- Taking or having recently taken antibiotics.
- Getting bacteria that is normally found on the skin in the tissue or wound sample.
What To Think About
- Types of bacteria that commonly cause infection in wounds are staph (Staphylococcus), strep (Streptococcus), and Clostridium perfringens, a bacterium found in soil and in stool (feces) that can cause gangrene. The most common type of fungus that causes infection in wounds is Candida albicans.
- Looking at fluid (such as pus) from a wound under a microscope can sometimes help identify the type of bacteria or fungi causing the infection before culture results are ready.
- A culture that does not grow any bacteria may not mean that you do not have an infection. Sometimes the amount of sample collected, the age of the wound (or skin problem), the type of culture done, and previous use of antibiotics can prevent the growth of bacteria in the culture.
- Testing for a virus may be done to detect and identify a viral infection in the body that is causing symptoms. To learn more, see the topic Viral Tests.
- Most types of fungi grow very slowly and may not show up in a culture for several weeks. Your doctor may recommend that you start treatment before your culture results come back if he or she thinks you could have a fungal infection.
- Sensitivity testing helps your doctor choose the best medicine to treat specific types of bacteria, viruses, or fungus.

FORT MEADE, Md. (WUSA9/AP) - Wednesday morning, a military judge sentenced former Army intelligence officer Bradley Manning to 35 years in prison for leaking troves of classified information to the anti-secrecy group WikiLeaks. He also was dishonorably discharged and ordered to forfeit all pay and allowances.
Manning pleaded guilty to 10 separate offenses but the judge convicted Manning last month of 20 offenses, including six violations of the Espionage Act. He could have been sentenced to 90 years in prison.
Manning must serve at least a third of the prison sentence before he is eligible for parole. Manning has been behind bars for more than three years now and was granted credit towards his sentence time for his confinement. According to the U.S. Army Military District of Washington Public Affairs Office, "Presiding judge Col. Denise Lind, granted credit for time served of 1,182 days for pre-trial confinement and 112 days additional pre-trial confinement credit."
Prosecutors claimed Manning betrayed the United States and a harsh sentence would serve as a lesson to other soldiers. They asked for at least 60 years for leaking more than 700,000 classified documents to WikiLeaks, including video of a botched helicopter raid in 2007 that killed civilians in Baghdad.
However, Manning's attorney said in closing arguments that perhaps his clients biggest crime was "that he cared about the loss of life and that he couldn't ignore it." The defense described the 25-year-old as compassionate and capable of being redeemed. They asked the judge for 25 years, a sentence that "would not rob him of his youth."
On Wednesday, the judge didn't say where Manning would serve his time, but a spokeswoman for the Military District of Washington said he would likely go to Fort Leavenworth, the only military prison for service members sentenced to 10 or more years of confinement. Located in Kansas, Fort Leavenworth is home to the American military's most famous prison. Inmates are highly restricted, graveyard work shifts are common and jobs pay just pennies per hour.
The spokeswoman says if space there is limited, military prisoners can be sent to a civilian federal prison.
Manning spent some time in Leavenworth previously.

|Pinto Bean Salad with Avocado, Tomatoes, Red Onion, and Cilantro is perfect for those times when you *must* have tomatoes, even if it's not quite summer yet.
Pinto Bean Salad with Avocado, Tomatoes, Red Onion, and Cilantro
(Makes 4 side-dish servings, recipe created by Kalyn)
1 can (15 oz.) pinto beans, rinse and drain very well
4-5 tsp. white balsamic vinegar or champagne vinegar (or use any mild white vinegar
1 avocado, diced into pieces 1/2 inch square (sometimes I use two avocados; if so double the lime juice)
2 tsp. fresh lime juice
1 cup chopped tomatoes or cherry tomatoes cut in half)
1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
1/2 cup finely chopped cilantro
1-2 T olive oil, or a bit more
fresh ground black pepper and sea salt to taste
Cut avocado into 1/2 inch pieces and place in small bowl. Toss with lime juice. Chop tomatoes, or if using cherry tomatoes, cut in half.
Chop red onion and cilantro. (I like to chop with a chef's knife, but you could use a mini-chopper or food processor for this.) Mix onions and cilantro into marinating beans. Then use a large spoon to gently fold in avocado and tomato. Drizzle olive oil over salad and season to taste with fresh ground black pepper and sea salt, and gently toss again. Serve immediately, at room temperature.
This could also be made with other types of beans; I think black beans would be a good option.
South Beach Suggestions:
This salad is perfect for any phase of the South Beach Diet. This salad with Greek Salmon Cooked in a Grill Pan would be a nice combination. For a larger meal for phase two or three you could add something like Georgette's Really Lemony Greek Pilafi.
Nutritional Information?
I chose the South Beach Diet to manage my weight partly so I wouldn't have to count calories, carbs, points, or fat grams, but if you want nutritional information for a recipe, I recommend entering the recipe into Calorie Count, which will calculate it for you.

Ensure equitable application of the provisions of the Title 10, United States Code, Chapter 61, which relate to the separation or retirement of military personnel by reason of physical disability. Most information about our program can be found within the respective category show on the left side of out Webpage.
Like the other Armed Services, the Coast Guard is required by Congress to maintain a disability evaluation system. The objectives of the system are to:
A Coast Guard member is referred into the PDES by an authorized convening authority with a recommendation as to whether the member is medically fit for the duties of his or her officer, grade, rank or rating.
The mere presence of medical impairment does not in and of itself justify a finding of unfitness. In each case, it is necessary to compare the nature and degree of physical disability present with requirement of the duties the Coast Guard member may be reasonably expected to perform because of office grade, rank or rating.

Pika (Japanese: ピカ Pika) is one of Red's favorite Pokémon. Red caught on his way to Pewter City. It is male, with the ability Static.
At Pewter City, in the 4th chapter of the RBG saga of the Pokémon Special series, it was eating the market's food products and everyone tried to catch it, with little success. Red decided to help them, so he sent out his Bulbasaur and, through its natural resistance against Electric attack, subdued the Pikachu, giving Red the opportunity to capture it. The people were grateful for Red saving their businesses, inviting him over for a meal as a reward. Red then showed them the Pokédex info about Pikachu, along with its Pokémon Red and Blue Sprite , saying it's the reason why he was on a journey. Through the Pokédex, Red saw that this Pikachu came from the Viridian Forest.

Traditionally, a large part of Tanzania population has, for a few decades now, been despising vocational training, compared to academic studies, which according to most parents, teachers and other stakeholders, aims at leading to top educational qualifications.
In effect, during the era of the National and Vocational Training Division (NVTD), under which the Vocational Education and Training (VET) operated for 20 years, curricula mainly catered for drop outs of primary education.
During those days, training programmes contained only a few courses, such as motor mechanics, electronics, welding, motor driving etc.
Vocational education and training is a kind of education which prepares trainees for jobs that are based on manual or practical activities, traditionally non-academic and totally related to a specific trade, occupation or vocation.
With vocational training, a trainee directly develops expertise in a particular group of technology.
Vocational Education and Training Authority (VETA) – an autonomous government agency, was established by Act No. 1 of 1994.
Among the objectives of VETA are to satisfy the demands of the labour market for employees with trade skills in order to improve production and productivity of the economy.
It also provides short and tailor-made course programmes and in service training, in order to improve performance of the national economy.
Its ultimate mission is to ensure provision of quality VETA that meets labour market demands through effective coordination and regulation in collaboration with stakeholders.
Indeed, investing in a strong VET sub-sector is crucial, particularly in developing countries.
"Given the immense technological and social economic development, which characterises the present era, particularly globalization, vocational education is a vital aspect of the education process in all countries," according to a UNESCO 2001 report.
In essence, VET is important in that it provides competences which are necessary for labour market growth, particularly for the under privileged and marginalized groups- an avenue for a better life.
In Tanzania , there are 26 vocational education training centres -- an equivalent of one centre for each region – up from 14 centres during the VETA inception in 1995. The enrolment was then 3, 070 against the present 20,000.
There are nine zones which constitute the structure of governance of VETA . They are central zone ( Dodoma – Singida and Manyara), Eastern Zone (Coast and Morogoro) , Lake Zone (Mwanza, Kagera and Mara) and Northern Zone (Tanga, Kilimanjaro and Arusha)
Others are Highland Zone (Iringa na Ruvuma), South East Zone (Mtwara and Lindi), Western Zone (Tabora, Kigoma and Shinyanga) , Dar es Salaam zone (Dar es salaam) and South Western Zone [Mbeya and Rukwa].
Though VETA is an autonomous government agency, other vocational educational training (VET) are also offered by the private sector, comprising vocational training centres owned by Civil Society Organisations (CSO), Faith Based Organisations (FBO), Private Companies and individuals.
The private sector has the biggest number of vocational training centres. It boasts of 523 (78%) against 149 (22%) which is public owned- central government (82) local government (46) and VETA (21), bringing the total number of VET institutions in the country to 671.
The main source of VETA funding is skills development levy (SDL); which levies 6 percent payroll on all employers with four or more employees.
Others are government contributions in terms of development projects, donor aid, funds from internal sources, income generating activities and training fees.
VETA has an obligation to support partner VET providers -- over 900 of them.
"If an individual has a vocational education centre, VETA provides the particular institution with curriculum and certificates on trainees completion of course", revealed a VETA official.
VETA's other similar role, is to maintain a close linkage with industries and other VET stakeholders, says the official who spoke on condition of anonymity.
Speaking at the climax of VET Week here recently, Depurty Minister for Vocational and Educational Training Philipo Mulugo said many teachers and students were not fully conversant with roles vested on VETA, including curriculum, fees chargeable and other services.
"I henceforth order all District Education Officers (DEOs) in the country, to pay regular visits to schools to sensitize them on various courses offered by VETA," he said.
He said the one week symposium had specifically been organized to create public awareness on activities of VETA.
"After here, you should organise an evaluation exercise," Mulugo ordered.
He said "many countries, including Malaysia and Indonesia, had made remarkable strides towards development of their countries because they had heavily invested in vocational education training."
"On our part (Tanzania) a total of 1.2 million graduates have been employed after attaining training from VETA since its inception in 1995,according to
David Kazuva, Director of Technical Education and Vocational Training in the Ministry of Education said in an interview that government had plans, on the drawing board, of providing each district in the country with a VET centre.
"We have started with Makete. Then we shall gradually move to other districts," said Kazuva, adding that presently, the government was soliciting funds from financiers for the ambitious project.'
Kazuva ,one of the seniormost officials from the ministry who officiated at the function to sensitise wananchi on the need to use the abundant opportunities offered by VETA in terms of vocational training, revealed that the cost of construction of a single vocational training centre was presently TShs 6billion .
According to Kazuva, most Folk Development Centres (FDC) which offered vocational courses in various trades, neeeded rehabilitation.
"We have rehabitated 25 of them, out of the established 55. Slowly, we shall move to the others," he said, adding that it was more economical to rehabilitate the centres than build new vocational education structures.
Opening the VET Week here recently,Vice President, Dr. Mohamed Gharib Bilal, emphasized the need for VETA to maintain high standards in their training programmes in order to produce technicians who will be able to compete in the present era of free market economy.
"As you all know, the formal sector has lost its glory,at least , in as far as employment opportunities are concerned. It can no longer accommodate the overwhelming population of job seekers, unlike in the past," said Dr. Bilal.

Climate protection and emissions
The number of passengers worldwide will exceed three billion for the first time in 2013. The International Air Transport Association (IATA) estimates that passenger numbers will double by 2030. Fuel consumption and environmental pollution will rise in step with the increasing need for mobility.
Aviation is responsible for just 2 percent of global CO2 emissions. Measured against all forms of transport, aviation generates 12 percent of CO2 emissions. By comparison: Road traffic accounts for 74 percent of transport-related emissions.
Despite this, the aviation industry has signed up to a significant reduction in CO2 emissions. Austrian Airlines has committed itself to the ambitious climate protection targets of the aviation industry:
Austrian Airlines is working hard to reduce environmental impacts and emissions. The avoidance of emissions goes hand in hand with the reduction in fuel consumption. For this reason, we are implementing numerous efficiency-enhancing measures both on the ground and on board.
In order to reduce the specific CO2 emissions generated by air traffic and to achieve the defined climate targets, Austrian Airlines pursues the proven four-pillar strategy developed by the aviation industry:
Our commitment is having an effect
We have constantly reduced our CO2 emissions in recent years. Austrian Airlines is becoming ever more fuel-efficient! With average specific fuel consumption of 3.98 litres per 100 passenger kilometres, our emissions are well below the average of IATA aircraft worldwide - this figure is comparable to the fuel consumption of a small passenger car.
In addition, we have succeeded in sharply reducing the amount of hazardous waste we produce, implemented energy-saving concepts in various areas, and consistently renewed our fleet. These measures further reduce emissions and noise pollution and help not only the environment but also Austrian Airlines on its journey to a profitable future.
Behind the scenes
