Rated 5 out of 5 by mama Love the towels! March 16, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by Verified Reviewer I love this towel! It was great to have so many color choices. My order was filled quickly even with the monograming! I will definitely order from Frontgate in the future. March 12, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kitty Mom Classy, pampering My husband and I absolutely love these towels. Quite and comforting and cozy. I have already purchased another set as a wedding gift. March 9, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by Verified Reviewer Bath Towels The towels are lovely - extremely thick and plush. Hopefully, they will stay this way - unlike as lot of other brands. My only regret is that I wish you had more colors. I settled on Willow (I think), as it was the closest to a soft green that you had. It is a little more yellow and lighter than I would have wanted. So far, so good. If these towels launder well, I will most probably order more in the future. March 8, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lovefrontgate Cotton Bath Towels The cotton bath towels are so thick and soft, that I will be ordering more. I had them personalized too, and gave one to my husband for his birthday. What a great gift, too! March 8, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by Doctordantheman Turkish Cotton Towels Every once in a while a company hits one out of the park. Frontgate did that with their towel offer. Fabulous product and an incredible value. After I received my first order, I ordered more in another color!!! March 8, 2010

Rated 5 out of 5 by two boys Best Towels These towels are absolutely the best and you can't beat the free monogram. When I first bought these towels a few years ago, my husband who never pays attention to towel made a nice comment about the towel. I just bought a few more. March 6, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by yorker best value & quality My first purchase from Frontgate.The Resort Bath Towels are the best towel I have ever purchased.I recommended them to family & friends. March 5, 2010

Rated 5 out of 5 by ElSyd Comfy Towel I especially like the size and the softness of the towel. The price was reasonable compared to local department stores. March 5, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by sigmund Like the embrace of a loving friend Huge, plush, with gentle colors, these are fantastic towels--absolutely, yes, the best towels I've ever had. No luxury hotel I ever visit will leave me wishing I had towels as great as theirs; I'll pity them for missing that part of 'luxury.' March 5, 2010

Rated 5 out of 5 by Janet Best towels ever I bought two resort bath towels and liked them so much I ordered the hand towels and washclothes to match. They are, by far, the best and most absorbent towels I have had. The colors are beautiful also. March 4, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by Anya Nice soft towels These towels are great: thick, soft and will last you a while. I've had 2 for a few years and those are yet to show any signs of wear, so I'm getting more! March 3, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by KA Incredible towels I have been adding to our collection of your resort towels for a few years. They are the most plush, comfortable towels we have ever had. My only suggestion is that there is more consistency with the color of the thread used for monogramming for towels ordered during the same year. The new thread seems to be shiner than previously done. February 28, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by Bill Thickest Towels Ever! After researching qualities found in "high end" bath towels from various companies, we decided to try those offered by Frontgate. We were not disappointed! The monogramed towels arrived in a timely manner and very well packaged. We washed them and used them the next day. They are simply the thickest - dare I say coziest - most absorbant towels we've ever used at home! Thanks! February 28, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by Petmom Always highest quality I only buy our towels from Fontgate - period. These towels are the best quality, very absorbant, you can't pull a thread, and they stay in shape after thousands of washes. I have tried several other towels that promise the same, but they can't hold a candle to Frontgate's! February 27, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by Verified Reviewer Resort towels Wonderful towels, warm & comfortable, very absorbent & cushy soft. February 27, 2010

Rated 5 out of 5 by DEDE Quality Towels The towels (with monogramming) are beautiful. The quality exceeded my expectations! February 24, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by Verified Reviewer Most luxurious towels I've ever owned Kudos to Frontgate for continuing to offer the best of the best at great prices! These towels are thick, soft and beautiful. There was a slight mix-up with the monograming, and customer service was right on it. This is a great company that I know I can rely on in every way! Thank you Frontgate and your outstanding customer service! February 24, 2010

2 answersHow easily do these towels get pulls and snags?
Additional information about PennyInIL could not be loaded.
I have bought the top price/rated towels at the major luxury department store chains and in each case the towels either came out of the package with pulls in the fabric or, in the case of a departments store's certain hotel collection, every single towel had multiple pulls with some bald spots after first wash. These occurred in a brand new washer so the machine didn't cause the pills. What has been users experience with these towels? If they are going to get pulls after a wash (gentle cycle, nothing but towels) I'd like to know. Thank you!

Answer:I have had my oldest set of these towels over 2 years now. Not a pull or a snag anywhere. They are used several times a day in my half bath downstairs. I wash them a lot as well. They are still quite 'fluffy', still very white(I never use bleach) and look similar to the new set of these towels I purchased a couple months ago.

Explore Festivals from Around the World!
November 27-December 30
Festivals of Light is an annual exhibit, returning each December as we prepare for the winter solstice and the many cultural celebrations that happen during the season.
From the Friday after Thanksgiving through December 30th, Festivals of Light explores a winter holiday celebration from the perspective of a family. Children explore the food, decorations, games, activities and music associated with each holiday as they step into a 'household' amidst their celebration.
This unique offering provides families with hands-on multi-cultural experiences. By highlighting several different winter solstice celebrations, Festivals of Light focuses on both the science of the seasons and on the different traditions integral to each festival.
Why We Explore:
Our goal is to provide children and their families the opportunity to explore a variety of celebrations and festivals that take place in the winter months. It is important to note that the Museum does not directly celebrate the holidays. Instead, we explore them. Often these traditions are closely connected to beliefs that a family holds. For that reason, the Museum offers the chance to explore the holidays throughout the month, and we let those who hold those beliefs celebrate as they see fit on the actual dates of the holiday.
There are numerous options when exploring the winter traditions and celebrations. We hope to provide opportunities for families to explore traditions different from their own and find similarities and differences in traditions.
Our Festivals of Light Season Will Include:
Kwanzaa – In Swahili, the word Kwanzaa means "the first fruits of the harvest". This festival includes the lighting of a candle each night during the week-long celebration. The candles represent seven principles, including purpose, creativity and unity. Kwanzaa is celebrated in the United States to remind African Americans of their African beginnings.
Loi Krathong – During the full moon of the twelfth lunar month, Thailand celebrates Loi Krathong, the Festival of Lights. Loi Krathong refers to the lotus-shaped receptacle that can float on water. The festival is celebrated by building a Loi Krathong, filling it with food, nuts, flowers, coins and a candle, making a wish and letting it float away with the current of a river.
Pasko – The Philippines is known for having the world's longest Christmas season, September 1st through January 6th. Houses, shops and buildings are filled with decorations such as a "belen", or nativity scene, and a "parol", or lantern. A "parol" is a Christmas lantern, most commonly in the shape of a five-pointed star. Made with a bamboo frame and rice paper, traditionally a candle was placed inside, but for safety reasons, people now use bulbs to shine light through.
Las Posadas – Spanish for "the inns," Las Posadas is a celebration that commemorates Joseph and Mary's voyage from Nazareth to Bethlehem in search of shelter. Traditional celebrations include communities within Spain, Mexico, Guatemala and parts of the Southwestern United States reenacting the journey by traveling from household to household in search of a room to stay in.
Diwali – Meaning "array of lights," Diwali is one of the most important celebrations in India. Largely a Hindu celebration, Diwali is now celebrated throughout nearly every region of India and celebrates the triumph of light over darkness.
Christmas Around the World – On December 25th, families remember the birth of Jesus Christ by displaying nativity scenes and following the tradition of Santa Claus visiting good girls and boys on Christmas Eve. Light is displayed throughout the Christmas season in many ways, including twinkle lights, Yule logs, advent candles, the Bethlehem Star and the lighting of trees.
Hanukkah – Hanukkah is an eight-day Jewish celebration that begins on the 25th of the month of Kislev in the Jewish calendar. This festival celebrates the triumph of freedom for Jewish people and the miracle of the lights of the holy temple.
Santa Lucia – Also known as the feast of St. Lucy (which is Latin for "light"), Santa Lucia remembers the saint who is said to have brought food to hungry Christians hiding from the Romans. Primarily celebrated in Scandinavian countries, every member of the family receives a Lucia Bun as children create a parade representing the arrival of light and nourishment to towns and villages.

The ejournal is currently calling for submissions for a special issue on the theme of Future Stories/Intimate Histories to be published in 2011. Papers may either come from, extend upon, or relate to, the 2010 ACRAWSA symposium, which explored how the meanings of race and whiteness are constantly under re/construction in the stories we tell about the past and the future, all the more so in times of flux where economies, national borders and political leadership are under redefinition every day. As yesterday becomes history and tomorrow ever more volatile, story becomes a means of understanding where we are in terms of both where we have come from and where we might be going. Story has also long been a means of understanding relations between history and personal experience, and hence a site where the inextricability of racialised structures and lived experience can be explored, albeit often in the context of racialised struggles over knowledge and speaking positions. In this issue we seek to talk about what such times of change mean for the critical race and whiteness studies project of trans- forming the racialised structures within which we live, and what role stories can play in our imaginings. What potentials can we find in our stories of the past and the future? What is old or new about current stories of race? What stories are heard and what should be heard? What still can't be told? Topics might include:
*Futures of race and whiteness
*The future of whiteness studies
*Changing definitions of race & racism
*Borders and the future
*Family history and race
*Race and relationships
*Race, whiteness and life narrative
*Relations between 'story' and 'theory'
*The positioning of Indigenous and/or white stories & storytellers
The e-journal also publishes general articles with each issue and welcomes submissions from any discipline related to the field of critical race and whiteness studies.
Deadline for submissions is March 30th 2011. Articles should be between 4,000- 8,000 words in length including tables, notes and references. An abstract of 200- 300 words should accompany the article. A style guide can be found at ACRAWSA's website: www.acrawsa.org.au. We also welcome shorter pieces of creative or analytical writing (up to 1000 words), visual material, or reviews of books, films, plays etc. Submissions and enquiries about the issue should be sent to Dr. Damien Riggs, firstname.lastname@example.com
The ejournal is also extending its call for submissions for a special issue on the theme: Post-Racial States.
Post-Racial States takes as its focus the term, "post-racial", used to describe the media and political environment in the United States following the election of Barack Obama. The Post-Racial States issue asks whether we can say there is such a thing as a "post-racial" state, media or political environment. Does the idea of a "post-racial" state overlook the continuing occurrences of racial discrimination, the negation of Indigenous sovereignties, and the importance of anti-racism projects in exposing and challenging institutional and social racisms? Submissions need not be limited to Obama's election. The issue is also interested in the relevance, if any, of this event to race relations in other cultural, political and geographical contexts.
Submissions for the special issue are welcomed from now until November 1st 2010. Submissions and enquiries about the issue should be sent to Dr. Holly Randell-Moon: firstname.lastname@example.com

The University of Northern Colorado men's basketball team will be logging a lot of travel miles this season, part of a difficult 2010-11 schedule to be released by the UNC athletic department today.
Part of that will be a 12-game road trip that will start with perennial Pac-10 powerhouse Arizona (Nov. 21) in Tucson to start the Las Vegas Invitational and includes a visit to Illinois for a matchup against the Fighting Illini, an NIT quarterfinalist last season out of the Big 10.
"It is going to be a really good test. It is going to be really tough," said first-year head coach B.J. Hill. "It is just one of the challenges you face when you become a mid-major program and have some success, it is awful tough to schedule games at home. People don't want to come into your house and play you. But the good thing is we have an experienced team and we are ready to take on the challenge."
The road trip will finish with a pair of games against in-state rivals University of Denver (Dec. 18) and Colorado State (Dec. 20). The Bears beat both teams last season at the Butler-Hancock Sports Pavilion and Hill realizes both schools will be seeking a little revenge.
"Since we have been here, both of those programs have improved year-to-year and last year we were fortunate enough to get a win against both of them," Hill said. "But playing them on the road is going to be a tougher challenge for us."
At home, the Bears will open the regular season against NAIA Tabor College (Nov. 12) before facing regional rival Wyoming (Nov. 16) of the Mountain West Conference in their second home game of the season.
Other nonconference opponents at home will include Black Hills State (Dec. 4) and former Division II North Central Conference rival North Dakota (Feb. 21).
UNC will also participate in ESPN's BracketBusters tournament starting Feb. 19 that pits potential NCAA Tournament hopefuls against each other in a nationally-televised game. While Hill does not know who the opponent will be yet, he knows it is good exposure for the program.
"It is nice," Hill said. "It is just another opportunity to get some exposure and hopefully we get a good draw in a TV game which provides that exposure for us. I've got no doubt that our guys will put on a good show and come ready to compete."
Of course, the Bears will play the usual Big Sky Conference schedule starting Dec. 29 at Portland State. The Bears will begin the home portion of conference play Jan. 6 against Big Sky tournament champion Montana in a rematch of their tournament semifinal matchup last season.

Decent Card
on 6/21/2011
The selling point of UFC 106 was the rematch between Forrest Griffin and Tito Ortiz. Despite this I think two fights on the card were better. We saw Little Nog find the way to beat Luiz Cane. We also saw Ben Saunders put on an entertaining fight against Marcus Davis. Normal Special Features: Countdown show, weigh-ins, behind the scenes

Men's Black Shoes
Go back to black with our sleek selection of men's black shoes. For a staple that goes with anything, select an understated pair of leather lace-ups or suede slip-ons. Choose from designs in luxurious matte fabrics or styles with a high-shine finish. Go formal with a pair of brogues, or more relaxed with monochrome trainers in incredibly comfortable fabrics. Team pared-down designs with a burgundy suit for quirky, offbeat style, or opt for designs with playful detailing and wear them with relaxed straight leg jeans.

2006 Mazda MPV Minivan LX 4dr Minivan (3.0L 6cyl 5A)
Never had one repair done to this Mazda. We came from a fully loaded 99' Blazer LT we needed a car fast and we got this the V6 was nice the transmission was also good. the worst thing was the windows weren't tinted and the car was awful in the snow the 3rd row was like a board of wood with microfiber on it. the front windshield was huge and the dashboard glared off of it.traded for a mountaineer but that you can read about in my other review which was traded for a 2008 Subaru Tribeca Limited w/NAV
Tinted windows more comfy rear seat
Auto-transmission broke down at 59K, 6 yrs: back and forth between gear 1 and 2.Had to get a tow.Am the first owner.Was having hard-shift right after the purchase.Mazda's attitude: hard-shift not reproducible, cannot fix.Seeing so many other MPV owners' complaints on transmission problems, hard to believe Mazda not facing MPV transmission issue honestly. Transmission breaking down is estimated to cost $4K to fix/replace.
Poor auto-transmission reliability and poor fuel efficiency.
Wife and kid refused to get in my MPV.
They both feel dizzy due to the uncomfortable gear shifting.
Where is NTSB?
Are my tax dollars at work?
Do they want to wait for accidents to happen before they act on MPV auto-transmission issues?
Bought this car private party, 2 years old with 9500 miles. Two and a half years later we have 43K miles with absolutely no repairs. Replaced the factory tires with 90K Goodyears and they are fantastic. This car has met or exceeded my expectations in every way.
On the smaller side. Big plus for me since my children are still young. Very nimble compared to the bigger Toyotas and Hondas. Easy to park in my smaller garage. Also it has a "unique" factor. Not tons of these on the roads. I get lots of compliments on the styling. Sport package is great!
Interior parts could be a little higher quality. More cup holders and 12V outlets.
Well my mom had purchased this van a year prior with a new kid on the way I was excited to be a minivan owner. It was a really late night when they do those crazy specials at midnight!? I didn't test drive it because I've been driving my moms for quite some time, got it home to notice that our van had NO REAR AIR!!! I couldn't believe they made vans without it! My moms came standard with it, didn't realize it was missing til the next morning when it was freezing cold taking our 2 young kids out!! I've had to put fans in the back to just get by in the summer. It is brutal. I was very upset that the sales people sold it they had to know!! will never go back again!!!
It was a van
Rear air is ALWAYS needed!!! Duh people sit back there!!!!
I've only owned this vehicle for 4 months but so far, it's been great. I love the size. It's not a tank (aka Odyssey/Sienna). I also like having a vehicle that isn't on every corner. The MPV really stands out from the crowd. Took it on a long trip this summer and it performed flawlessly. The interior doesn't have that cheap quality feel that some cars have. It feels solid.
The size is great. It has a relatively smooth ride. Removable 2nd row captains chairs. Radio/CD controls on the steering wheel are really nice. Roll-down 2nd row windows are cool (as are the dual sliding doors).
Considering its size, it doesn't get great gas mileage. Don't get me wrong, it's still decent. The shift handle on the steering column is bad! It blocks your view (and access) to other knobs on the middle panel. You can get around this by using steering wheel controls. V6 is on the weaker side.

My soon to be wife was a student that year. Gave away her ticket since I could not find one. Watched the game in Candfield Hall, leaving early to meet the folks for dinner. Did not understand her fathers grief/anger until he said the Bucks lost.

Amateur athletes making six figures - no thanks. If hope solo were male she would not be allowed to participate. Otherwise cheering for the Buckeyes on the Olympic team
An SI article about JC many years ago got me on the World Cup bandwagon, though very small in the US, at that time. RIP
Unless he is on "bar-roids", 35 year olds do not put up $30mill numbers. Health issues, clubhouse chatter, US/Canada exchange rate, team performance - let him walk
Saw a sports talk show a few years back, the guests were Billy Sims, Herschel Walker, Desmond Howard, Bo, and the last one escapes the memory. When asked who the best was, they all said Bo.
Native Buckeye, been here since 1988, now living about 18 miles sw. The red haired girl, a native of Long Island, lives in GR and, without fail, after a night out (play, symphony, sporting event), one of us remarks that there are far worse places to live. Equidistant to the "D" and Windy, plenty of outdoor activities, great family area as well as for singles. Not sure if they still do, but a Buckeye group used to have a standing reservation at BW3 on game day. More Bucks here than one might imagine. Snowfall increases the closer you get to Lake _ichigan.
Chowderheads that ask the cashier a question while you are being waited on.
knuckleheads that are late for a concert, game, etc, needing to get past you for their seat. Normally evokes a, "did you ask for a watch for your birthday?"
Saw an item on the 12/31 edition of mlive.com with an auburn fan detailing 15 ways to troll a bama inbreed. Good stuff but nothing like the 11w crew.
Sparty dodged a few bullets along the way, including a struggle against a good, not great Hawkeyes team. They took advantage of the mistakes and weakness of others. Remember, if not for a fumbled snap, The Game would have been for the BIG East title. If I recall, the Tide had five to's in their loss. With three weeks prep no way Saban would allow that to happen again. IMHO the two best teams will be playing for the NC. A big win against the Irish will still put the Bucks into the top four.
Beat ND and jump the Sooners and Sparty, still #3. Pretty good all things considered. If ND is thoroughly defeated and the NC is a blowout, #2 is a possibility.
Floor mats for the Passat, garden flag, license plate frame, license plate, decal, another hoody.
Was watching a softball game many years ago when the large gentleman was pointed out and introed as Bevo Francis. Although not recognized by the ncaa he also scored 100 in a game - twice.
RIP big fella.

1971 Nova, 307 ci. Not only was fuel in the 20-25 cent range, they would actually pump it for you, check the oil, and the tire pressure. The first job for many of us was at one of the local filling stations, great place to get phone numbers, while learning some of the finer, no longer needed mechanical skills.

Because I am an old time hockey guy, Tim Horton's is my fave. Though it really is not good, we do not have White Castle in west xichigan so I generally stop when the opportunity presents itself - just because.
A born, bred Buckeye, I have lived on Lake Michigan since 1988. My son in law, from a family of dedicated Italian, American Catholics, and yes, die hard ND fans, introduces me as the man that hates ann arbor cc more than anyone he knows. Eviscerate them and their self serving, pious, self aggrandizing minions at every opportunity.
Sat next to Jerry Tarkanian at a HS all star game, many years ago. His primary interest was SuperFly Williams.

Virtualization started as a means of server consolidation, but IT needs are evolving as data centers are becoming service providers. An isolated hypervisor cannot provide the speed and time to market required to deploy a complete application stack. To realize the full benefits of virtualization, organizations must look beyond simple consolidation and choose application-driven virtualization solutions that are integrated with the applications and infrastructure.
Only Oracle offers the industry's most complete and integrated virtualization, from desktop to the data center. Going far beyond simple consolidation, Oracle enables you to virtualize and manage your full hardware and software stack.
Designed for efficiency and optimized for performance, Oracle's server virtualization products support x86 and SPARC architectures and a variety of workloads such as Linux, Windows and Oracle Solaris. In addition to solutions that are hypervisor-based, Oracle also offers virtualization built in to hardware and Oracle operating systems to deliver the most complete and optimized solution for your entire computing environment.
Oracle desktop virtualization provides secure, anywhere access to Oracle Applications and other enterprise software and enables virtualized operating systems on standard client devices. It can be used to securely access nearly any application over the network from standard PCs, Macs, and iPad. It can also be used to run multiple operating systems on laptops and desktop PCs for development and testing.
Organizations need an easy way to connect with their ecosystem of internal and external customers, business units, partners, and branches. Oracle's software-defined networking (SDN) solution enables distributed enterprises to deliver trusted connectivity services with less complexity, in significantly less time, and at greatly reduced cost.
Brings together an integrated solution that focuses on simplifying the building of a cloud foundation best suited for enterprise applications and databases.

A beloved classic on what God looks for in a leader
The need for talented, vigorous leaders in the church cannot be overemphasized. Such times demand active service of men and women who are guided by and devoted to Jesus Christ.

Oswald Sanders presents the key principles of leadership in both the temporal and spiritual realms, illustrating his points with examples from Scripture and biographies of eminent men of God (Moses, Nehemiah, Paul, David Livingstone, Charles Spurgeon, and others).

- The cost of leadership
- The responsibility of leadership

- The qualities and criteria of leadership
- The art of reproducing leaders
- The one indispensable requirement of leadership
Let this proven classic be your guide for leadership, and watch how God works through you to do great things for His glory.

Prenatal Home Visits
Moving from the idea of centering pregnancy, we explore another concept in prenatal care – home nurse visits. In one study, home visits were associated with decreased risk of preterm delivery for African-American women. These results were similar to the results of another study. In other studies, prenatal nurse visits demonstrate health effects beyond childbirth. These benefits include decreasing the risk of infant death. It is possible that the best prenatal care needs to fit the specific needs of the family. Some families may like the structure of traditional private prenatal visits. Other families may thrive with the social support of centering pregnancy. Those withRead More →

Had an interesting trip to Gettysburg. After scoping out the local campground we made our way into the town center to see where things were located. We parked on the street next to a shop called Subterranean Soul. Its a shop selling various clothing, vinyl records, and various trinkets.

Then there are changes that make you look inward and think about your position in the status quo.
Yesterday, to me, the Eagles made a change like that when they announced that they were letting go of longtime public address announcer Dan Baker after 29 seasons, during which he never missed a game at Veterans Stadium or Lincoln Financial Field.
"Dan is the ultimate profession and even though he was disappointed with the direction we are heading, he was accepting of our decision to make the change," Eagles president Don Smolenski said in a release. "We are very appreciative of his dedication and service.

"Democrat Daniel Patrick Moynihan wore one."
… and George Will did/does too.
… and since Republican Donald Trump can't comb his own "hair"… we surmise what? Exactly?
"There is no such thing as a young republican" [from Butterfies are Free].
… I was one, once — a long, long time ago —practically back in the dark ages – but then I grew up and listened to my conscience.
I've never been sorry that I did so.
It's the Republicans' Will Knot, because the Republicans will not do anything.
as opposed to those wonderful democrats that passed budgets… oh wait… that's right, they didn't do their job when they had both the house and senate….
I was a Dmocrat once, a long time ago, until I got out of college, got a job, started paying my own bills and taxes, then looked around at all of the lazy parasites lounging on the street corners and in front of the liquor stores with their hands out for a share of my paycheck. I became a Republican, and I've never been sorry that i did so.

A hacker group known as Anonymous took responsibility Friday for defacing a website and stealing files and emails from attorneys who represented Camp Pendleton's Frank Wuterich in a case involving the deaths of 24 Iraqi civilians.
Wuterich's lead attorney, Neal Puckett, confirmed the intrusion and apparent theft from him and his partner, Haytham Faraj.
The two represented Wuterich in a recently concluded trial at Camp Pendleton involving civilian deaths in the city of Haditha following a 2005 roadside bombing that killed one Marine.
Last month Wuterich agreed to a deal negotiated by the attorneys in which prosecutors dropped charges of voluntary manslaughter and related offenses in exchange for a guilty plea to one count of negligent dereliction of duty.
Wuterich, 31, of Murrieta, also agreed to accept a reduction in rank from staff sergeant to private.
Puckett said he has filed a complaint with the FBI over the hacking.
The group that got into his website says it plans to release information it found about the Haditha case. Puckett said he is equally concerned about the theft and possible release of confidential matters between the attorneys and all their clients.

However, it is not clear whether the reported association relates to influenza infection severity. The aim of this study was to estimate the hospitalization risk associated with this variant in Influenza Like Illness (ILI) patients during the H1N1 pandemic influenza. A case-control genetic association study was performed, using nasopharyngeal/oropharyngeal swabs collected during the H1N1 pandemic influenza. Laboratory diagnosis of influenza infection was performed by RT-PCR, the IFITM3 rs12252 was genotyped by RFLP and tested for association with hospitalization. Conditional logistic regression was performed to calculate the confounder-adjusted odds ratio of hospitalization associated with IFITM3 rs12252. We selected 312 ILI cases and 624 matched non-hospitalized controls. Within ILI Influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 positive patients, no statistical significant association was found between the variant and the hospitalization risk (Adjusted OR: 0.73 (95%CI: 0.33–1.50)). Regarding ILI Influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 negative patients, CT/CC genotype carriers had a higher risk of being hospitalized than patients with TT genotype (Adjusted OR: 2.54 (95%CI: 1.54–4.19)). The IFITM3 rs12252 variant was associated with respiratory infection hospitalization but not specifically in patients infected with Influenza A(H1N1)pdm09. 2016-06-28T00:00:00Z Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus neutralising serum antibodies in dromedary camels: a comparative serological study http://hdl.handle.net/10400.18/3831 Título: Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus neutralising serum antibodies in dromedary camels: a comparative serological study Autor: Reusken, C.; Haagmans, B.; Gutierrez, C.; Godeke, G.J.; Meyer, B.; Muth, D.; Raj, V.S.; Smits-De Vries, L.; Corman, V.M.; Drexler, J.F.; Smits, S.L.; Sousa, R.; van Beek, J.; Nowotny, N.; van Maanen, K.; Hidalgo-Hermoso, E.; Bosch, B.J.; Rottier, P.; Osterhaus, A.; Gortázar-Schmidt, C.; Drosten, C.; Koopmans, M. Resumo: A new betacoronavirus-Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV)-has been identified in patients with severe acute respiratory infection. Although related viruses infect bats, molecular clock analyses have been unable to identify direct ancestors of MERS-CoV. Anecdotal exposure histories suggest that patients had been in contact with dromedary camels or goats. We investigated possible animal reservoirs of MERS-CoV by assessing specific serum antibodies in livestock. METHODS: We took sera from animals in the Middle East (Oman) and from elsewhere (Spain, Netherlands, Chile). Cattle (n=80), sheep (n=40), goats (n=40), dromedary camels (n=155), and various other camelid species (n=34) were tested for specific serum IgG by protein microarray using the receptor-binding S1 subunits of spike proteins of MERS-CoV, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus, and human coronavirus OC43. Results were confirmed by virus neutralisation tests for MERS-CoV and bovine coronavirus. FINDINGS: 50 of 50 (100%) sera from Omani camels and 15 of 105 (14%) from Spanish camels had protein-specific antibodies against MERS-CoV spike. Sera from European sheep, goats, cattle, and other camelids had no such antibodies. MERS-CoV neutralising antibody titres varied between 1/320 and 1/2560 for the Omani camel sera and between 1/20 and 1/320 for the Spanish camel sera. There was no evidence for cross-neutralisation by bovine coronavirus antibodies. INTERPRETATION: MERS-CoV or a related virus has infected camel populations. Both titres and seroprevalences in sera from different locations in Oman suggest widespread infection.

C.; Schmidt-Chanasit, J.; Cadar, D. Resumo: Background: In Portugal, entomological surveys to detect phleboviruses in their natural vectors have not been performed so far. Thus, the aims of the present study were to detect, isolate and characterize phleboviruses in sandfly populations of Portugal. Findings: From May to October 2007–2008, 896 female sandflies were trapped in Arrábida region, located on the southwest coast of Portugal. Phlebovirus RNA was detected by using a pan-phlebovirus RT-PCR in 4 out of 34 Phlebotomus perniciosus pools. Direct sequencing of the amplicons showed that 2 samples exhibited 72 % nucleotide identity with Arbia virus, and two showed 96 % nucleotide identity with Massilia virus. The Arbia-like virus (named Alcube virus) was isolated in cell culture and complete genomic sequences of one Alcube and two Massila viruses were determined using next-generation sequencing technology. Phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that Alcube virus clustered with members of the Salehabad virus species complex. Within this clade, Alcube virus forms a monophyletic lineage with the Arbia, Salehabad and Adana viruses sharing a common ancestor. Arbia virus has been identified as the most closely related virus with 20-28 % nucleotide and 10-27 % amino acid divergences depending on the analysed segment. Conclusions: We have provided genetic evidence for the circulation of a novel phlebovirus species named Alcube virus in Ph. perniciosus and co-circulation of Massilia virus, in Arrábida region, southwest of Portugal. Further epidemiological investigations and surveillance for sandfly-borne phleboviruses in Portugal are needed to elucidate their medical importance.

In outbreak situations, especially with emerging organisms causing severe human disease, it is important to understand the full spectrum of disease, and shedding kinetics in relation to infectivity and the ability to transmit the microorganism. Laboratory response capacity during the early stages of an outbreak focuses on development of virological and immunological methods for patient diagnosis, for contact tracing, and for epidemiological studies into sources, modes of transmission, identification of risk groups, and animal reservoirs. However, optimal use of this core public health laboratory capacity requires a fundamental understanding of kinetics of viral shedding and antibody response, of assay validation and of interpretation of test outcomes. We reviewed available data from MERS-CoV case reports, and compared this with data on kinetics of shedding and immune response from published literature on other human coronaviruses (hCoVs). We identify and discuss important data gaps, and biases that limit the laboratory preparedness to this novel disease. Public health management will benefit from standardised reporting of methods used, details of test outcomes by sample type, sampling date, in relation to symptoms and risk factors, along with the currently reported demographic, clinical and epidemiological findings.

Are we leaving the arts out of journalism?
Like most journalists, I look to reports like the recently released Tow Center report on the changing nature of the field for guidance, for ways of thinking about what I do. But what I find is that what I do as a critic is increasingly marginalized or ignored by such studies.
In the thousands of words in the report from Tow, based at the Columbia School of Journalism and written by some of the finest minds in the field, there is a glaring void. There is no real consideration of cultural dialogue and criticism, perhaps the fastest shrinking segment of mainstream media today. Journalism worth doing is defined as investigative, watchdog journalism, the stories that somebody, somewhere doesn't want written. I would agree that this is the core of good journalism. »Read Full Blog Post(9)
Mac Miller makes sold-out Eagles Ballroom a massive party
There probably isn't a hip-hop show in Milwaukee this year that will offer as much bang for the buck as Mac Miller's concert Saturday night, in front of a sold-out Eagles Ballroom at the Rave.
Aside from the allure of the 21-year-old headliner, the Milwaukee date of Miller's Space Migration tour boasted four supporting acts, two of which — Earl Sweatshirt and Chance the Rapper — are among the most hyped up-and-coming MCs of 2013. »Read Full Article(3)
