Ecuador's West Slope
"The Best of Choco Endemic Birding"
March 10 - 19
, 2017
Mark Welford
Ecuador is the size of the state of Georgia, yet 1,540 species of birds have been recorded in the country. On this Venture, we'll travel from the Andes into the northwestern lowlands, seeing a dazzling display of tanagers, flycatchers and hummingbirds; over high, windswept passes to relict patches of polylepis forest for the endemic Black-breasted Puffleg; through Chocó cloudforest, where we hope to find such regional endemics as Toucan Barbet, Pale-mandibled Aracari and Chocó Toucan; and lower elevation tropical rainforest near Silanche looking for Choco endemics such as Purple-chested Hummingbird, Banded Ground-Cuckoo and Long-wattled Umbrellabird.
"Atlantic Coast, Deserts and High Atlas Mountains"
March 12 - 24, 2017
Simon Thompson
We start our tour in the historic city of Marrakech which is one of the economic centers of Morocco. Mosques break the skyline and gardens and planted areas add to the green of this desert city. Our hotel is situated near the picturesque Katoubia Mosque, and the nearby gardens are home to Little and Pallid Swifts, European Blackbird and European Greenfinch. The nests of White Storks seemingly perch atop every mosque and tower and migrating Black Kites and Booted Eagles are a daily sight as they migrate north over the city.
Indonesia: Waigeo and Arfak Mountains
Birding in Paradise
May 9 - 21, 2017
Mark Welford
West Papua and Waigeo Island are a birder's paradise. The combination of stunning birds-of-paradise and many other endemic species including several cassowaries, paradise-kingfishers, fruit-doves, lorikeets, bowerbirds, myzomelas, honeyeaters, berrypeckers, and robins makes this part of Indonesia a superb destination for a birdwatching tour. On this Ventures bird tour, we will visit some of the very best birding sites that never fail to deliver superb birds. We will provide you with an extraordinary birding experience! In the Arfak Mountains we hope to see Superb BOP, Western Parotia, Arfak Astrapia and maybe Long-tailed Paradigalla. In Waigeo we'll see Wilson's and Red BOP (see image) – Simon and I were there over the 2015 Christmas holidays and had an amazing experience. All told we hope to see between 12-16 birds-of-paradise.
South Pacific Adventure
Solomons, Vanuatu, New Caledonia & Fiji
May 23 – June 24, 2017
Mark Welford
The Western Pacific Ocean is dotted with numerous archipelagos including those of the Fiji, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu and New Caledonia. These rugged volcanic islands are covered in mossy montane forests and lowland humid tropical forests. These isolated archipelagos have evolved a highly endemic avifauna, including an endemic family, the Kagu. Fiji boasts 150 bird species of which 26 are endemic, New Caledonia is similar with 122 species observed and 20 endemic including the amazing Kagu, the Solomon Islands have 245 species and 68 endemic species and finally Vanuatu with 75 species and 12 endemics.
Birds & Culture Venture to Ecuador
June 27 - July 15, 2017
Mark Welford
Our 19-day tour takes us across the Andes from the western Andean slopes to the Amazon and back to the central Andean Valley. A non-birding reconnaissance of this trip in 2016 yielded 208 bird species. We expect to see at least 300-350 bird species on this itinerary, and see a lot of Ecuador's fabulous cultural sites. Ecuador is a very manageable country and just the size of the state of Georgia; more than 1,400 species of birds have been recorded in the country.
Northern Peru
Marañon Endemics, Abra Patricia, Elevation Birds and Much More
July 21 - Aug 5, 2017
Aaron Steed
Peru is one of the most bird-rich countries on the planet, home to over 1700 species - 100 of which are endemics. 30 of these are only found in the north, and this tour will focus on finding as many of those as possible in addition to a variety of regional specialties. The spectacular scenery of the Andes will be our backdrop as we explore a wide diversity of habitats searching for some relatively easy-to-see ultra-rare birds, such as the once-believed to be extinct White-winged Guan, the incredible Marvelous Spatuletail, and the mythical Long-whiskered Owlet.
South of France
Camargue and Pyrenees:
August 26 – Sept 8, 2017
Simon Thompson
Gordon Mills
On this Venture to the south of France we combine two of Europe's most famous birding destinations, as well as a night in the historic medieval city of Carcassonne. This Venture, which is limited to 10 people, offers two very contrasting areas, both of which should provide fascinating scenery and culture, coupled with an impressive list of bird species.
Eastern Australia
October 26 – November 17, 2017
Optional Extensions:
Pre-trip to Alice Springs, Northern Territories: October 22 - 25, 2017
Post-trip to Tasmania: November 17 - 21, 2017
Carlos Sanchez
We will explore a variety of habitats in eastern Australia: sub-tropical rain forests, pristine white beaches, the Great Barrier Reef, untouched eucalyptus forests, rugged high country, semi-arid deserts and desert plateaus, and, of course, the exotic Outback.
From emus to penguins, the birdlife in Australia is fantastic. Parrots and parakeets in a rainbow of colors practically eat out of your hand. The fantastic Lyrebird, with its fanning tail, incorporates the sounds of automatic cameras and chainsaws in its imitative song. Robins come in shades of red: the Scarlet, Pink, Flame, and Rose Robins are beautiful.
Birding and Big Game
November 10 – 24, 2017
Simon Thompson
Tanzania, in East Africa, supports one of the largest diversity of birds species in Africa with over 1000 species recorded. On this Ventures tour, we'll start the trip in Arusha and visit Tarangire National Park, where we can do a walking safari outside the park, Lake Manyara (home of the tree climbing lions!) and Serengeti National Park including the famous and incomparable Ngorongoro Crater, searching for such birds as Magpie Shrike, Southern Ground-Hornbill, D'Arnaud's Barbet, Nubian Woodpecker, Two-banded Courser, Hildebrandt's Starling and such Tanzanian endemics as Rufous-tailed Weaver, Ashy Starling and Yellow-collared Lovebird. We will add a little diversity to our trip when we spend a couple of nights on the shore of Lake Victoria. Here we will see Nile Crocodiles, Hippo and a whole selection of birds not likely to be seen on any parts of our tour.
Northern Colombia Endemics
December 4 - 15, 2017
Clifton Avery
With nearly 2000 bird species recorded within its borders, Colombia is home to the highest diversity of bird species on the planet. The country contains several endemic bird areas, one of which is the Santa Marta Mountains, the focus of this tour. Our main targets will be all 21 of the Santa Marta endemics plus many more birds of the Northern Caribbean coast.
Vietnam Endemics
December 10 - 27, 2017
Mark Welford
Few destinations conjure up such a complex mix of emotions for the American traveler as Vietnam. Long held back by decades of struggle and economic strife, this lush, avian-rich country has recently come a long way in building infrastructure and opening its doors to western tourism. That's just as well, considering Vietnam contains a wealth of endemic and near-endemic bird species – more so than any other mainland country in Southeast Asia! Among the many endemics we seek is the endangered and local Gray-crowned Crocias, a bird recently discovered in several previously unknown locales.
Kaziranga & Eagle's Nest, NE India
"Rhinos, Tigers and Laughingthrushes"
February 1-14, 2018
Simon Thompson
NE India is the land of the rising sun for the entire subcontinent. Breath-taking hills & mountains with snow-capped peaks to dense rain forests; from fast moving hill streams to wide rivers; all-encompassing a spectacular variety of life that brings a unique identity to this hilly terrain. Arunachal also has a wealth of cultural diversity and monuments to man's past but it is its exceptional richness in avian diversity that attracts birders from far and wide.
Venture to the Island of Borneo
"Endemics and Orangutans"
June 28-July 11, 2018
Simon Thompson
Mark Welford
Borneo is home to around 222 mammals (including the Orangutan and the Borneo Pygmy Elephant), 420 birds (of which 37 are endemic), 100 amphibians and 394 fish (19 are endemic). Among the endemic birds of Borneo, the Bristlehead is one of the strangest birds on the planet. Borneo's tropical rainforests, amongst the oldest, most complex and richest on earth, harbor most of the island's bird, plant, mammal, insect and plant diversity. Between 1995 and 2010 over 600 species new to science were discovered - which amounts to three new species every month.

Over the past few years, I've joined several social networks. Twitter, FaceBook, LinkedIn, MySpace, the now defunct Pownce, all give slightly different takes on the whole 'connect with your friends' thing and it's also a great way to meet new and interesting people who you never would have met otherwise. But lately, I've been seeing more and more of an old friend rear its head in this new medium and I fear for the future of the entire social networking concept because of it. Of course, I'm talking about Spam.
Spam, or unsolicited mass advertising, has been with us since the very first email message was sent way back in the 1970's. Originally confined to only email, these annoying messages now invade nearly every corner of our digital communications from cell phones to chat rooms and the problem seems to be growing worse by the day. The popular online service provider America Online estimates that up to 90% of the mail it processes every day is spam and that adds up to billions of messages every single month for AOL alone. A recent article by the BBC estimates that nearly 97% of all email sent in the U.S. is spam and that estimate might be low according to some researchers.
But social networks are different. Sites like FaceBook, MySpace, and Twitter, are all trust based networks where two way communication has to willfully be established in order for any meaningful exchanges to take place. One would think that these places would be some of the most spam free ones on the internet because, after all, why would anyone willingly accept a spammer they don't know as a friend? The answer lies somewhere between the 'I want real friends' and the 'I want a lot of connections' sides of the social networking scale and it's that delicate balance that spammers often exploit to find a way into otherwise private circles.
Spammers often pose as legitimate members of social networking sites and might even participate in them to garner users trust. Once they've gained credibility, that's when the trouble begins. Most social networking sites will not only give a spammer connection to you but to all of your friends as well compounding the problem by further confusing and exploiting the trust metric. Most times, users will friend a friend of their friends simply because there's an automatic trust by associations. Spammers count on this and exploit it ruthlessly, digging deeper and deeper into connected social circles until, ultimately, thousands of people might be left vulnerable to them.
Social networking site Twitter recently found out the hard way how easily their users desire to be social could be exploited through a well meant feature called "autofollow". By turning on autofollow, Twitter users could automatically follow anyone who followed them. It was an easy way to be nice and build the community but, as many users quickly found out, it was also heaven for spammers who would follow large amounts of users, triggering their autofollow, then unfollow almost all of them and begin pumping out spam. Twitter disabled the feature shortly after its inception after much network discussion about the privacy and exploitative implications.
Social networks are quickly becoming the new battleground for spammers and, unfortunately, there's not going to be much administrators can do to stop it. It's the ultimate opt-in game for commercial marketers and the only solution is for users not to friend people they don't know well. This, of course, defeats a large purpose of why people join social networks in the first place so the war will rage on for the foreseeable future.
Spammers are adapting their methods too, realizing they need to appear as normal as possible until they've amassed enough 'friends' to create a usable advertising network. I believe the new spammer tactic for social network will be a 'long term, high participation' one where the spammers will blend in as much as possible with ordinary users and slip ads in from time to time. Friend based advertising is very effective and spammers have long sought ways to accomplish this. Now, through the social sites, it's easier than ever to get a high response rate with very little effort.
Social networks and their users will have to find a way to deal with this new threat or it will slowly undermine the entire trust based system that these sites thrive on. Administrators will have to be more active in analyzing user trends to catch spammers before they've gotten deep into the system and users will need to be more aggressive about protecting their social systems and purging undesirables from their friends lists when they see behavior about which they're concerned. Social network spam will evolve, just like email spam has but, this time, we have adequate tools to effectively combat it.
Social network users, the bottom line is really true: the power is in your hands.

EMR, CCHIT, and the 2009 Economic Stimulus Act
Those of you who've been following the news surrounding the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) are no doubt aware of the huge changes on the horizon for healthcare IT. Soon, the days of the cluttered office with wall to wall patient charts will be replaced with a single computer that has searchable access to years of patient data, charts, and medical history without the need to ever leave your desk through the implementation of electronic medical records (EMR).
While the federal government has, through ARRA, set aside $19 billion dollars to help doctors migrate to an EMR, the one disturbing provision that troubles many small EMR companies is the requirement that the software be certified. While the certification agency has yet to be specified, it is widely accepted that the CCHIT will be selected for that role and that concerns many small companies and physicians.
Join Kris Rebillor as she speaks with Dr. Mark Leavitt, chair of CCHIT, as their discuss ARRA and how it will impact American healthcare in this short, audio only interview.

Solid Shirt...
By: Kim
Nothing screams classy like a button down short sleeve shirt. When wearing this Port Authority cotton blend shirt expect nothing but never ending compliments from beautiful woman. This shirt exudes manliness and strength, it is scientifically impossible for attractive people to dot be drawn to you with this shirt on. The material is extremely strong and I hypothesize that it would take an angry velociraptor to actually destroy this shirt. The stitching is strong enough to resist a blow torch and for this I am grateful because many a lesser man has turned a blow torch onto me. I lived. Great Shirt

So annoyed and frustrated.
Dead battery, call US Rider.
Asks me if I need a tow. I say, "If it doesn't boost, then yes, it will need a tow".
90 minutes later, tow truck shows up. Battery won't boost, needs a tow. Won't take the car. Contracted only for boost. WTF?!
US Rider will not contract for 2 services at a time. Repeat, WTF?
Flatbed leaves, bye bye.
Have to wait several hours, after waiting all morning, for same company to send guy back with truck.
They can only do what they are contracted to do.
I tell US Rider this is the stupidest policy EVER. Rep agrees, but he's probably 17 and has no authority.
Tow company dispatcher, very sweet, also agrees, tells me I should see what AAA pulls on them.
Overall, a beautiful day completely wasted.
Illegetimi non carborundum.

Thanks for all the support on this site. we all are in a tough spot, from different parts of the country, different perspectives, different roles (caregiver, family member, etc).
My dad's surgery is now Monday 12/7 at Duke. I will be there with my mom and my brother and sister will be there at least by the evening. We are coming from different states so it will be a challenge. We are worried but hope that his overall great health before diagnosis will help him.
I will try to update as I can. I also have many others on this site in my prayers nightly. For all of those struggling---take it one day at a time---if that doesn't work, take it one hour at a time.... you will make it.

Be sure and take your big girl panties with you as you will need them to get through everything. Is your Dad having the open surgery or the invasive surgery. Just remember we all have been there and know what you are going through. I will pray for you during his surgery. Please know he is in the hands of GOD and GOD will get him through everything.
We lost another loved one on this site, so we need to continue prayers.
Your dad will do good. Keep in touch

Daily Reporting on the Second Stage Theatre New Works Festival featuring plays from the Time Warner Play Commissioning Program by Laura Hedli
"Nice to meet you," Terrence Mann says, and plants a kiss on Adriane Lenox.
The time is just past 11 a.m., and being no more than an hour into its first rehearsal, Manifesto goes up before an expectant audience at noon. Behind closed doors and within Telsey Casting's Studio 1, Kareem Fahmy's direction is swift. He immediately jumps to his feet to provide movement for a written stage direction—imitating a kind of dance for Lenox, or providing a prop for Angel Desai. Periodically, he glances back at playwright, J. Holtham, to make sure he's happy with the result. Holtham, meanwhile, is sitting in the rear of the room on a black folding chair. He's silent except for a smile, perhaps a product of seeing his work take shape for the first time.
Holtham's Manifesto is a play about an interracial couple, Roger (Reed Birney) and Louise (Adriane Lenox), who are forced to question themselves and their life together after finding a possibly anthrax-laced package in their mailbox.
"The play at first was way more about the event of the anthrax scare and just sort of throwing these characters into the situation. As it progressed it became a lot more about change and compromise." said Fahmy. "During the very brief amount of time I had at the beginning of the rehearsals to talk to the actors, I said to focus on just that—'how is your character dealing with compromise and change?'"
With only two hours of rehearsal time and a close to two hour production, the cast tries to wiz through as much material as possible. Given the time constraints, only select scenes get a test run.
"Of course, you know, you don't get a chance to read it here, but it's great," says Fahmy in regards to Desai's investigative scoop near the end of Act II.
Just before the weekend, Desai and her three fellow cast members had received copies of the script via e-mail after final casting announcements were made. Monday morning marked their first meeting, and their first reading.
"Sometimes you will just have a play where you read it once and then do it, but it's usually over a 5 or 6 hour span. That extra hour really makes all the difference because then you can read the entire script the whole way through," says Desai. "At the same time, we all know what we're doing, and we're all good at cold reads."
"I knew, because we had such a limited amount of time, that I wanted to have a certain structure in place," says Fahmy. "I went through it in detail with J. ahead of time, so that we were going to be on the same page with everything. Everything was very sort of mapped out."
After an early quip between Roger and Louise about the state of their throw rugs, the audience settles into Holtham's dialogue. The actors are at once animated in their portrayal and at ease with the script. And Holtham still has that goofy grin on this face, because unlike us, he knows what line is coming next.
After the reading, J. jetted out to the TCG National Conference in Denver, Colorado—but he was gracious enough to answer a few questions by email:
I see that you've written a lot of short plays (some 10-15 minutes, some 30-40 minutes) … was it challenging to write a full length play for this commission? What are the benefits and disadvantages of long form (as opposed to short form)?
I really like writing full lengths. Short plays are fun, but they're mainly set-up. With a full-length, you have a larger canvas to work with and a longer arc to tell your story. It's a challenge, particularly in this play, where the bulk of the play rests on ROGER and LOUISE. It's almost a two-hander, which is a play I've never written before. That was a big challenge.
In a video interview about this program you say that you write because you feel your stories need to be told, and they hold meaning for a diverse range of people. Why did you feel you needed to tell the story presented in MANIFESTO? What was it, specifically, that you wanted to convey?
This story for me is about the choices people make and the consequences of those choices. At some point, all of the characters have made a choice that may be personally gratifying, but it has consequences for others. One question that I often explore in my plays is "How do you balance your responsibility to yourself and your responsibility to others?" Marriage, a lifelong (hopefully) partnership between two people, is a great place to explore that. MANIFESTO, for me, is also a bit of a lament for old, dirty, messy, political New York. As the developers bury that history, I think we need to keep bringing it to light.
Plans for the future? What's on the horizon?
Mostly just working on new plays. I'm trying to start a community-based theatre group in my neighborhood (Inwood, in upper Manhattan).
How did you expect today to go? And did the reading exceed your expectations? Was this the first time you saw your play read (in a professional sense)? Do you ever get friends to read as you write?
I'd had a private reading of an earlier draft and that was very useful, but this reading was so much more. With a comedy, the audience is the key. Hearing the play in front of a nice, full room and hearing them laugh at the jokes and follow the plot was a great experience. Things that I wasn't sure would work did, and a few things that I thought would, didn't, which is why we have these readings. The play grew by leaps and bounds in just a couple of hours.
What major changes did MANIFESTO undergo during the writing process? I heard from Kareem that the anthrax scare had been much more at the forefront of the story when you began the play. Now, he said that the play is really concerned about the evolution of these characters – how they have changed and how they connect? What do you have to say in response to this claim?
I think that's a great observation. This play has gone through some pretty major changes in the last few weeks. Tone is so important to a comedy and the earlier drafts got a bit bogged down with the details of the anthrax and the reality of that and that wasn't the right tone. One of the bigger changes was adding the prologue and showing the audience the inciting incident, rather than referring to it. That freed up a lot of time and energy to keep the characters talking about what was actually going on between them.
Like I said on the phone, I really loved the dialogue – it really rang true for me. How did this dialogue come alive – was there a particular impetus that you always kept in the back of your mind? Or to put it another way, what do you think was the elephant in the room for Roger and Louise?
With this play, and these characters, there's so much that's gone unspoken and festered and that we're dredging into the light. The challenge is keeping the jokes coming, without undercutting the tension. Their marriage is in definite trouble, for a lot of reasons, and that has to feel real without verging too far into melodrama.
How was your writing shaped by your time as a member of Youngblood Playwrights Group?
Youngblood has the strongest influence on my writing and my work of any group or school I've belonged to. It's really where I matured as a writer and learned to trust my instincts. I also learned not to treat my work too preciously. Theatre is a messy, breathing, slightly chaotic thing. The most important thing is telling the story. Youngblood helped me learn to see the story first and keep it present.
Manifesto is written by J Holtham and directed by Kareem Fahmy. The Second Stage Theatre/Time Warner Commission cast included Reed Birney (Roger), Adriane Lenox (Louise), Terrence Mann (Rick Render), and Angel Desai (Olive). Stage directions were read by Steve French.

In the Army, Robbie Chambers turned on his lover out of fear—and he hasn't been able to live with himself since. Now he's out of the Army but still trapped in the closet that brought on his most cowardly moment, and he starts to think he'll never be able to fight his way free.
Until he sees Cy McVeigh. Beautiful and uninhibited, Cy is dancing on the boardwalk at Old Sac for no other reason than the moment called for it. Robbie not only joins in the dance but is smitten from the very beginning.
However, Robbie still has old business to clear up, and when he helps out a kid in need and comes face-to-face with the man he betrayed, he's forced to come clean with himself. He can't redeem his mistake if he's still locked into his old patterns, and he won't ever be worthy of Cy if he can't earn Adam's forgiveness. He's going to need all the help he can get from the people at Candy Heaven in order to make things right with his past so he can have a future with Cy
Tart and Sweet by Amy Lane is a contemporary romance that tries to blend mental illness, reckoning with your past, coming out of the closet, and falling in love. Robbie Chambers has been recently discharged from the Army. Now, he's struggling with PTSD and forgiving himself for the way he treated his ex-boyfriend, Adam. Robbie is also deeply in the closet, partly because of some damaging messaging from his parents. It takes falling for the carefree Cy McVeigh to inspire him to come out and face himself and his past.
I'm not usually drawn to a book because of the cover, but this one had an orange kitten and an English bulldog. What could possibly be wrong with this book? Unfortunately, a lot. The premise sounded really interesting – a little hurt/comfort mixed with finding yourself. But everything about this story fell short for me. I struggled to keep track of the characters, the time jumps of Robbie's flashbacks were hard to follow, and I didn't find a lot of comfort to counter the hurt. The pay off just wasn't there for me with this story.
That being said, Amy Lane does have a beautiful writing style and I would probably read another of her books if the blurb grabbed me. I attribute some of my confusion to the fact that this is the fourth in a series, so I'm sure readers who have followed the Sugar Man books will have a different opinion.

HORTON GRAVEL RAILROAD. The Horton Gravel Railroad Company was chartered on November 8, 1928, to build a line from a connection with the Galveston, Harrisburg and San Antonio Railway Company in Colorado County to the McNair League near the west shore of Eagle Lake. The initial capital was $5,000, and the business office was in Houston. Members of the first board of directors included George F. Horton, Sewall Myer, Amos Thorstenberg, E. J. Matthews, N. B. Brunson, Russell Thorstenberg, and Fred Temme, all from Houston. The company was chartered in order to secure the power to condemn a right-of-way from near Eagle Lake to an extensive gravel deposit three miles away. Neither the Railroad Commission nor the Interstate Commerce Commission recognized the Horton Gravel as a common carrier, and it did not seek such recognition. Its sole purpose was to handle gravel produced at Horton's pit. The line was sold to the Texas and New Orleans Railroad Company, as lessee of the Galveston, Harrisburg and San Antonio, and the company was dissolved in 1929.

Kåre Mølbak, Statens Serum Institut, Copenhagen, Denmark
Citation: Mølbak K. Don't forget about meningococcal disease! EpiNorth 2010; 1: 3-4.
Invasive meningococcal disease is a severe infection caused by Neisseriameningitidis. Although the disease is rare, it is one of the most feared infectious diseases because it afflicts healthy individuals with a rapidly progressing disease, a high case-fatality rate and a substantial risk of sequelae. In the years to come, N.meningitidis is likely to be responsible for a larger proportion of bacterial meningitis cases due to the impact of the Haemophilus influenzae type B vaccine and, more recently, the conjugated pneumococcal vaccine that will probably be introduced in more countries. It is therefore important to address measures to reduce the burden of invasive meningococcal disease.
The disease manifests itself as meningitis and/or septicaemia and the incidence is highest among young children and teenagers. In Europe, the overall incidence has decreased in recent years to approximately 1 per 100,000 population. For the countries participating in the EpiNorth project, the incidence in 2008 ranged from 0.5 to 3.8 per 100,000 with the highest incidence reported from Murmansk oblast.
In Europe, most cases of invasive meningococcal disease are caused by N. meningitidis serogroups B and C. A number of European countries have seen high incidences of group C infection and most of these countries have included conjugated meningococcal group C vaccines in their childhood immunisation schedule. United Kingdom was one of the first countries to introduce vaccination (in 2000). Belgium, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, The Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, and Switzerland also include group C vaccines in their national programmes. Vaccination has resulted in a substantial reduction of meningococcal disease caused by group C infection without any apparent serotype replacement. While this is promising, the long-term effect of conjugate vaccines is currently being debated. Continued public health surveillance data is therefore important to address the effectiveness of intervention strategies.
Although there has been great interest to develop universal group B N. meningitidis vaccines, at present no universal vaccine available. One challenge for vaccine development is the inadequate immune response to group B capsular polysaccharide antigens used in vaccines. While there have been attempts to control outbreaks of specific group B N. meningitidis phenotypes by targeted vaccines based on outer membrane proteins such as the PorA protein, these vaccines will only have a limited effect on the control of group B infections in general. Hence, it is important to continue research to develop universal group B vaccines.
In the absence of effective control by immunisation, the management of invasive meningococcal disease continues to be an important task for public health practitioners. Management includes the identification of cases and contacts, the application of chemoprophylaxis and vaccination (most commonly in cases caused by N. meningitidis group C) as well as providing information to the community and media. The approach by which these measures are applied differs between European countries. The variation in public health practice reflects historical traditions and the fact that the quality of the evidence for some of the interventions is poor. However, evidence indicates that household contacts of cases of invasive meningococcal disease should be offered prophylactic antibiotics in order to eradicate carriage of N. meningitidis. The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, ECDC, has established an expert group to assess the different practices. It is hoped that this evidence-based guidance for public health management will assist countries in reviewing their own policies of managing meningococcal disease.
This issue of the EpiNorth journal presents two articles addressing meningococcal disease. The papers highlight challenges for outbreak control and surveillance. L.Glushkova and R.Galimov describe an outbreak of N. meningitidis group C in the city of Pechora in the Republic of Komi. The outbreak included five teenagers among whom two died. As a response to this outbreak, chemoprophylaxis was prescribed to 557 individuals and 757 contacts of patients were immunized. In another paper, L.Titova and co-authors describe the epidemiology of meningococcal disease in the Arkhangelsk oblast. As in many other settings, the incidence of meningococcal infection has decreased in recent years. However, the explanation for this consistent observation is not fully understood. Serogroup B was the most common serogroup followed closely by group C. Unfortunately, as many as 52% of the isolates were not serotyped. To obtain a better understanding of the dynamics of the different subtypes of N. meningitidis, it is essential to ensure that strains are characterised, in particular to detect the emergence of group C serotypes or "successful" clones of serogroup B.

If you go in to see my page, there is a live presentation link for a video Richard Garay did last night. It's only 6 minutes long. During the video he let us know that he would be doing another live feed today with techniques and then as a thank you for all the birthday wishes will be doing a live class via Facebook on Friday (no definite time). He will give us a supply list too ahead of time, and said the items needed would be basic (things most crafters would have). I'm definitely planning to watch his class on Friday. Oh, did I mention that it is FREE!!!.

This Hotel is literally on the Hollywood boardwalk about 10 steps from the sand. It's a small hotel with only 8 rooms, so don't expect all the amenities of a Hilton or Marriott but you get the feeling like you own a condo at the beach. We rented here for 4th of July weekend and it was amazing, we were able to see fireworks on the beach 15 steps from our front door. You can spend all day on the beach without having to worry about carrying all your stuff home or even up a large hotel. Restaurants and bars are all within walking distance, in fact the hotel even has a tiki-bar if you don't want to walk. The room was very modern and cozy, with a kitchenette, 1 bedroom and 1 sleeper sofa. 2 Flat Screen TVs, and free-wifi included.
The only cons really were that the hotel does not have an ice-machine to fill your cooler and the bar doesn't really provide much more than a small bag of ice, and secondly the AC in our living room did not cool as much as the bedroom AC. Could be because it was 98 degrees outside, but nonetheless its a great place to stay.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):

Leaders of the House Energy and Commerce Committee today sent a bipartisan letter to Jensen Farms to request a staff briefing on the recent outbreak of Listeria that originated in cantaloupe at the farm in Granada, Colorado.
Ranking Member Henry A. Waxman, Chairman Fred Upton, Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee Ranking Member Diana DeGette, Subcommittee Chairman Cliff Stearns, Rep. John D. Dingell, and Chairman Emeritus Joe Barton wrote, "The committee has a long bipartisan history of conducting food safety oversight and is very concerned about these recent developments. We intend to learn more from the FDA, CDC, Jensen Farms, and others who may provide insight into the causes of this outbreak and the prevention of future outbreaks."
The Members also requested that Jensen Farms preserve all documents and communications relevant to the investigation to assist in understanding the causes of the outbreak and the distribution practices for the contaminated products.

Morgan Freeman, as movie buffs know, is synonymous with gravitas. His deep, wise voice, earned through seventy-four years of life experience, is oracular and reassuring. To hear that voice read a phone book is to automatically be rendered a better person. That he's gone from playing Man on Street in The Pawnbroker to God in Bruce Almighty tells us that Freeman has more than paid his dues.
The staff at Next Movie have put together a supercut entitled "Deep Thoughts… with Morgan Freeman", stringing together a number of Freeman gems culled from films like Glory, The Shawshank Redemption, Driving Miss Daisy, Invictus, and Se7en. (Though nothing from The Electric Company, as you might imagine.) Sure, the lines aren't necessarily Freeman's, but no one can deliver them like The Man Who Was Born to Play Mandela.
Watching the montage, any resistance is futile as you succumb to Freeman's wisdom born of humility, aided by a little heartstring music in the background. And if you're like me, you will say to yourself, "Damn, those are some deep-ass penguins," and also have a scary flashback to the fear of getting whacked with a Louisville Slugger by former high-school principal Joe Clark. (Portrayed by Freeman in Lean on Me.) Enjoy.

Type rating revalidation (LPC/OPC)
Type rating revalidation (LPC/OPC)
Pilots may face sometimes complex situations during daily flight operations due to aircraft technical malfunctions or non-technical factors such as adverse weather. To ensure pilots maintain the competence to master such scenarios safely, flight crews are trained by experienced and qualified SAT instructors to maintain or exceed required standards. An authorised examiner then verifies the competence of the pilot during a proficiency check.
"Our pilots have conducted their LPCs and OPCs with SAT and always to our complete satisfaction. SAT has always supported us greatly in the planning of the trainings."
"90% of our crews have completed their initial E-Jet training at SAT. This, along with the fact that we have mostly used the SAT simulator for recurrent training of our pilots, as well as for instructor training, speaks for our satisfaction with SAT."
Valid type rating licence including instrument rating
The pilot demonstrates proficiency in all flight conditions, good adherence to standard operating procedures and proper application of Crew Resource Management (CRM) principles.
Regulatory compliance
- FCL.740 Validity and renewal of class and type ratings
- FCL.740.A Revalidation of class and type ratings — aeroplanes
- ORO.FC.230 Recurrent training and checking
- AMC1 ORO.FC.230 Recurrent training and checking
- AMC2 ORO.FC.230 Recurrent training and checking
- GM1 ORO.FC.230 Recurrent training and checking
Content and duration
The training programme is established in such a way that all major failures of aircraft systems and associated procedures will be covered in a 3 year period.
The LPC is an annual recurrent training which consists of ground training followed by training/checking in the full-flight simulator. Usually it's combined with an OPC and takes 4 days maximum.
Ground training:
- 16 hours CBT theoretical knowledge Systems
Flight training (FSTD):
- 4 hours training in the full-flight simulator
- 4 hours checking in the full-flight simulator
The OPC is a semi-annual recurrent training which consists of training/checking in the full-flight simulator only and takes 2 days maximum.
Flight training (FSTD):
- 4 hours training in the full-flight simulator
- 4 hours checking in the full-flight simulator
Additional information

text: This rare Grand Cru is un-matched for its elegance, fragrance and exceptional harmony. Planted in 1998, the roots of the vines have penetrated deep into the limestone, bringing marked complexities to this 2015 wine. Aromas are tightly-woven and pure, leading to a racy, expressive, vibranty lemony palate. This is a linear, stony, taut wine, with a fresh, long finish (for drinking 2017-2024+).

An Ubud icon –Murni's Warung is celebrating 40 years of operations with the publication of a new foodie book.
Murni's Warung, located in what is arguably the cultural capital of Bali, was Ubud's first international standard restaurant and, on February 20, 2014, it marked 40 years of continual operations.
Celebrating the landmark, The Orchid Press publication "Forty Delicious Years" is the story of Bali's most enduring culinary landmark—Murni's Warung in Ubud.
Narrated by some of the Warung's most noteworthy patrons and with a preface by the legendary Murni, the book tells the story of how a humble roadside food stall became an Ubud institution and a 'must visit' on a magical 'must visit' island.
According to Ibu Murni, considered by many to be a Mother of Balinese Tourism": "The 20th of February in 2012 also happened to be my calendar birthday and, what's more, this date also fell on the same day as my Balinese birthday. This rarely happens, so it's was a triple… no, a quadruple celebration."

Feasibility Study FAQ
(A Discussion of the Fiscal Impact of Greenhaven)
1. What is a feasibility study?
The study seeks to determine whether the services to be provided by a proposed city along with the necessary administrative support can be adequately funded by the revenues that would be available. Put more simply, the feasibility study estimates whether Greenhaven will take in enough revenue to pay for its expenses (including operational and startup expenses). In the case of Greenhaven, revenues were estimated at $45,611,418 and expenses were estimated at $18,434,437 leaving an excess surplus of $27,176.981.
2. What will you do with the estimated $27 million surplus?
The feasibility study represents estimates. It will take a year or better to figure out actual costs and revenues that will then determine next steps. The new city can then consider taking on more services. The following is CCCSD's perspective.
a. Greenhaven should maintain a financial philosophy of fiscal conservatism. That includes a balanced budget, capital reserves, and underwriting a campaign for economic development.
b. Greenhaven should always work very hard to keep costs and taxes at a minimal level.
c. From the beginning, Greenhaven should focus on economic development by establishing an Office of Economic Development (included in the charter). Greenhaven is able to establish a Development Authority.
d. Greenhaven will have a community involvement component known as Community Area Planning Units (CAPUs) that are authorized by the Charter.
e. Greenhaven would like to supplement education efforts within its boundaries. Some actions have been discussed but such actions are not guaranteed.
3. Are police included in the cost or revenues?
No. The revenue to pay for police comes primarily from our property taxes. The proportion of property taxes that pay for police will stay with the county until we transition those services to the city of Greenhaven. The plan is to take on police but it is not a guarantee until the new government decides it will do so.
4. Are the expenses just for 3 services or do they include overall operating costs? They include overall operating costs such as
a. Municipal courts
b. City clerk
c. City attorney
d. IT
e. Finance department
f. Human resources
g. Community and Economic development
h. Mayor and City Councilmember salaries
5. The revenue from property taxes seems low. Why?
With a population of 294,000 residents, Greenhaven will receive only $414,000 in property taxes. This is low because the bulk of our taxes will remain with the county to pay for police, fire and safety.
6. How does the least commercially developed area in DeKalb County end up with more revenue surplus than wealthier cities?
Cities have revenue sources that counties do not have such as franchise fees. Franchise fees are fees paid by utility companies (cable, electric, natural gas, and phone) for public right of ways. Because of the size of our population and franchise fees are based on population (a reason why a large area was chosen), the result is a large revenue source. This is mostly a new revenue source and takes little away from the county.
7. Will Greenhaven acquire the parks and is that cost included in the feasibility study?
Yes? The estimated cost in the feasibility study to purchase the existing parks within Greenhaven boundaries is $225,000.
8. How will the franchise fees affect our utility bills? Will they cause them to rise? Past history shows the utilities and cable companies pass the cost on; however, it has amounted to less than 2% of the electric bill of city customers (e.g., if your bill is $100/month, your increase will be less than $2/month) and 5% for cable companies (e.g., if your bill is $100/month, your increase will be $5.00/ month). The franchise fees for natural gas customers are spread over all Atlanta Gas Light customers for the cost of doing business. Thus, any increase will be minimal.
9. Will our taxes rise as a result of forming a new city?
Based on the study results, we do not anticipate tax increases from the city of Greenhaven.

I was wondering where all the remix/re-edit producers had disappeared to, in light of Soundcloud's new policies, and it appears that it's to Hearthis. There's been alotta negative press about Soundcloud's corporate shift, and while I'm bummed at the turn of events, it really only affects me as a downloader. For DJs/Producers, who have spent years building thousands of followers, while creating Soundcloud's customer base, only to receive threats of track removal, account closures, etc., the new Soundcloud policies are a quick and painful change. As someone who has benefited from the use of Soundcloud for quite a long time, I can only begrudge them the right to see more profit and recognize copyright law, so much. That being said, it's sad that such a prolific platform for the medium is losing one of it's major features, and the DJ community is losing that sense of support. Soundcloud is still a great resource for bands/labels and original content, but the DJ friendly vibe is all but history.
Having just signed up for a free Hearthis account, I can't offer much of an opinion or info. The free accounts only allow MP3 uploads, though there does not seem to be a limit as to how many. There is, however, a limit regarding the amount of times other users can play your tracks, in as much as after 10,000 plays, you can no longer upload material, presumably until upgrading your account. Similarly, there is a download limit of 5000,though I'm sure the play limit would be reached faster. It also has a chat feature for those of you interested in the real time social networking aspect. In general the setup is much the same as Soundcloud, and it allows for no hassle transfer of Soundcloud and Mixcloud tracks/mixes, making it extremely convenient for those looking to move on.
As stated, many of my favorite Soundcloud users have set up shop on Hearthis, taking a big drop in followers/likes in the process. The good news for Hearthis users is, as a new platform, it helps to even the playing field for the non-veteran set, with far less clutter for general browsing. Unfortunately as a free wordpress.com user, I'm not sure how to embed currently, whereas wordpress.org has a functioning plug-in, but hopefully that issue will soon be resolved. I'm not sure how long Hearthis has been up and running, but it seems that it's getting a significant amount of Soundcloud turnover recently, and is definitely worth checking out for the casual browser or the dedicated producer.

This video is so adorable. 4 year-old Carson and a UPS driver, Mr. Ernie became good friends and the kid's fascination of everything related to UPS made him want to become a UPS driver. It is an interesting tale of how UPS made a little kids' dream come true, even if it is just for a day.
Carson is just one of the many individuals who have received a gift from UPS' Your Wishes Delivered program. I wish there are many more companies and businesses that would grant the wish of kids, families and other people across the country. Not just during Christmas. A lot of people really deserve to have their dreams and wishes granted.
