The Pittsburgh MIDAS National Center of Excellence aims to protect the US and the global community against communicable infectious disease threats by improving our nation's ability to predict potential epidemics, by devising strategies to prevent the emergence or re-emergence of pathogenic microbes, and by responding rapidly when necessary to mitigate the impact of a spreading epidemic. Currently, we are developing computational tools and models in the following project areas;
1) Applied Modeling of MRSA
2) Computation, Visualization, & Optimization of Models
3) Environmental Effects
4) Viral Evolution
5) Behavioral Modeling
6) Estimation of Parameters
7) Policy and Preparedness
In addition, we are creating programs aimed at educating and training professionals and students from diverse fields of study, cultural backgrounds, and educational backgrounds, to understand the role of infectious disease modeling and its broader impacts.

Marines ponder upgrades for light armored vehicles.
Most of the nearly 800 LAVs in operation today have been in service since the early 1980s. They are corroding, the sensors and weapons are badly outdated and they don't have adequate communications systems to meet the demands of fast-moving operations, officials said.
"We have some decisions to make about where we are going to go in the future," said Marine Col. John J. Bryant, program manager for the LAV. "We need a plan for the future of this vehicle."
An unofficial "lessons from Operation Iraqi Freedom" report written in late April said that the "LAV community had favorable comments about the LAV. However, the concern was raised that LAVs are getting old, requiring increased maintenance. A replacement was desired for the near future."
The Marine Corps already has funded a four-year $200 million service-life extension program for more than 400 LAVs, including the development of a new thermal sight for the 25 mm gun on the newer LAV-25 model.
These upgrades were intended to extend the operational life of the LAVs until 2015. But a replacement vehicle will not emerge until at least a decade later.
"We were thinking there would [be] a replacement for the LAV sometime around 2015.... Now, it's going to be around 2024," Bryant said at a conference of the Institute for Defense and Government Advancement.
"We are cracking, we are corroding, we have components that are becoming obsolete," he said. "We have our bases right on the ocean. We drive these vehicles onto [landing craft air cushion] LCACs, zip along the water at 55 mph with salt spray coming into every crack and crevice of the vehicle. We employ them for sex months at a time, in the well deck of amphibious ships, where they are subject to salt water."
As part of the service-life extension program, vehicles will get new electronics and will be made more corrosion-proof, he said. The upgraded LAVs will begin low-rate production in late 2004, depending on how quickly the vehicles return from operations overseas, Bryant said. Metric Systems Corp. is the prime contractor for the upgrade program.
The second piece of the SLEP upgrade is all improved thermal sight system, with a second-generation forward-looking infrared sensor, now in development by the Raytheon Co. The ITSS is scheduled to begin production in 2005. The system is "critical to our ability to ID bad guys on the battlefield," Bryant said. It includes a laser rangefinder and, for the first time in the LAV, a computerized fire-control system. This technology is immensely helpful to the artillery units, he explained, became it provides 10-digit coordinates for precise targeting.
Three other LAV upgrade programs are scheduled for the 2005-2009 budget cycle: a new anti-armor system, an expeditionary fire support system and a more advanced command-and-control variant.
The current anti-tank vehicle, called the LAV-AT, is inadequate, Bryant said. Its firing cycle is too long, leaving crews vulnerable for up to two minutes while firing, it also has excessive corrosion due to design imperfections, its maintenance costs are rising, and Marines, for years, have complained about the poor performance of the Emerson 901 turret, which has been discontinued in the Army and Marine inventories.
"Our readiness rates on our anti-rank systems are going down and getting worse," said Bryant. "Maintenance costs are going up." It got so bad that Marine Expeditionary Unit commanders, said Bryant, "pretty much decided they didn't even want to take this thing out. It was more of a hassle than it was worth."
The plan is to replace the entire inventory of 95 Emerson 901 turrets with an LAV-AT turret, to be purchased from the open marker, Another option is to use the funds to buy anti-tank guided missile launchers for a portion of the LAV-25 fleet, thus allowing the Marine Corps to get rid of the LAV-AT system completely.
"We are doing tradeoff analyses and cost-benefit analyses," said Bryant. His office wants to have a new system in the tidal by 2008.
The preferred missile for the anti-tank system is the TOW 2B, he said. "We are doing R&D work to find out if we can get a universal launcher that can do TOW, as well as some other things."
For the LAV fire-support upgrade, the Marines are pursuing a so-called "expeditionary fire support system," or LAV-EFSS, which would replace the current 81 mm mortars.
This program has "caused a lot of confusion" among contractors, said Bryant, because the Marine Corps Systems Command sponsors a separate EFSS program that was not associated with the LAV. Now, "we are seeking a common materiel solution for two different requirements," he said. The LAV-EFSS is likely to be a small howitzer or mortar that can fit in the back of the V-22 Osprey tilt-rotor and would provide fire support to vertical assault forces. Bryant stressed that the EFSS would have to be smaller than the Corps' M777 towed 155 mm howitzer.
"I have range and lethality deficiencies on my current 81 mm mortar," which has a range of less than 6 km. In a light armored reconnaissance battalion, he added, "you almost have to put your mortars in direct fire range to even get them into the fight."
The Marines own 50 LAV mortars. One option would be to integrate an existing off-the-shelf weapon and fire control system. These vehicles are slated to enter service in 2009.
The command-and-control LAV upgrade will need to address the "digital divide" in the Corps today between the division-level command posts and the moving forces. Satellite communications, digital fire control systems and intelligence-collection terminals are available at the division and regiment level, with fairly static command posts. Mobile units, meanwhile, are not part of the network. "As soon as you start driving, you are off the net on all that stuff," said Bryant. "It has caused a digital divide."
In the light armored reconnaissance battalion, the commander is talking to a regiment commander or a division commander, but is not "playing in the digital environment," he added. "Right now, we have no capability to do sat-com on the move.... We have an intercom system in our vehicle that doesn't work right."
Current LAVs have HF (high frequency) radios, but they are not "dependable HF on the move." With an upgraded LAV C2, the reconnaissance battalion would have the connectivity needed to operate directly under a division commander, for example.
The goal is to upgrade all 50 LAV C2, beginning in 2008, by integrating existing radios and off-the-shelf digital C4I systems.
A trade study was scheduled to begin this summer to determine what computers to install on the vehicle and how much commonality the LAV C2 could have with the C2 variant of the Marines' new Advanced Amphibious Assault vehicle.
These near-term upgrades, however, will not be enough to sustain the LAV for 20-30 more years, until a new family of vehicles is introduced, Bryant said. Of particular concern is that the LAV technology gradually will become more outdated, compared in other vehicles that probably will be employed by future enemies, he said. "The threat that we used to be able to defeat, we can't defeat anymore.
A case in point is the Soviet BMP-3 infantry-fighting vehicle. This latest version of the BMP--with a 100 mm main gun that fires high-energy and anti-tank munitions--easily would overmatch the LAV, Bryant said.
"BMPs have come a long way. Our 25 mm round falls a bit short in performance against some of our most common threats," he said. "Our turret is more primitive than an M-60 tank. It's a hydraulic turret with almost no stabilization." An electric turret would be more desirable, he said.
In simulations, engineers have shown that the LAV could improve its capabilities drastically by up-gunning the turret and making it fully stabilized. "Users are screaming for it," said Bryant. But so far, no fun, Is have been budgeted for these upgrades.
Marine battalion commanders also are asking for survivability enhancements that would not necessarily turn the LAV into a tan1 he said. "It doesn't have to be just armor."
The Corps, however, currently has no budget for any survivability features. On the wish list are technologies in signature management--to make the vehicle less visible to enemy sensors, countermeasures (laser warning receivers, missile warning receivers), active protection and some type of lightweight armor.
Active protection potentially could defeat chemical energy rounds without adding extra weight, Bryant said. But active protection systems are viewed by most senior officers as unsafe and are unlikely to become an acceptable option.
LAV operators, meanwhile, would like to see a better drive train and suspension, he said. "As we look at adding protection, we have to improve cross-country mobility."
Another vexing problem is tires. Marines often have grumbled about the durability of the sidewalls in their tires. Most LAV tires are variants of radial truck tires, and are vulnerable to punctures. It is a simple issue, he said, "Do we need a 40,000 mile tire if the side, gall is going to get punctured before it gets to 40,000 miles?"
The Marines also are contemplating 120 mm, 81 mm or 105 mm mortars or the LAV. The Marine Corps Warfighting Laboratory developed a 120 mm prototype. The Army's version of the LAV, called the Stryker, has a 120 mm mortar as well.
"We are totally open" to various options, said Bryant. "With 120 mm mortar, I am not getting an improved capability unless I go to an improved range round.... Our 81 mm at 5,900 meters has a much higher rate of fire compared to 120. Unless we improve range, we don't have much added capability."

Deeper pantry cabinet next to standard depth lowers?
My layout has the sink, dishwasher, pantry cabinet and refrigerator in a row (and in that order). I had planned to make the pantry cabinet a few inches deeper to hide the entire side of the fridge, but now am concerned that it will look funny having a deeper cabinet next to the standard depth DW. I would prefer not to pull the DW and sink out from the wall, as every inch counts. Does anyone have a setup like this, or thoughts on whether it might look odd?
Put one of the tall elements to the other side so that you have tall, standard, tall in a row and it looks intentional Or pull the base cabinets out so that you get more counter space. You're already dealing with clearance issues if you've got a deeper pantry there anyway and having deeper bases doesn't exacerbate that. It only improves the situation.
That's what mine is like. Not a dishwasher specifically, but cabinets then pantry then fridge in that that order. Pulling the pantry out a couple of inches not only let's you hide the fridge, but it's smart as jakuvall says above because otherwise your counter overhang would stick out past the pantry.
Giving the pantry a couple of extra inches lets the counter die into the pantry, and means you can open the pantry door without hitting the counter overhang.

As you probably are aware by now, Aaron Brooks and Jan Vesely will not return to the Nuggets next season. Vesely has signed a three year deal with Fenerbache in Istanbul while Brooks is reportedly near completing a deal with the Chicago Bulls.
These developments come as no surprise. The Nuggets are already stacked at the point guard and power forward spots. While I personally would have preferred the Nuggets make an attempt at keeping Brooks — given his penchant for playing defense — neither of these moves will have a lasting effect on how the Nuggets' fare next year. But given these players spent time — although brief — in a Nuggets uniform, I figured it was only right to make note of their departure. In periods of future reflection we will
always maybe remember Jan Vesely's extreme maladroitness and occasional deft post-up move, dunk or defensive play that redefined the paradigms of how simultaneously good and bad someone could be at the same time. Brooks, meanwhile, provided an excellent makeshift starting point guard in Lawson's absence. I think I speak for all when I say: May these players do things elsewhere with basketballs.
On a nonrelated subject, I'd just like to formerly announce Roundball Mining Compnay will be taking it easy for a while. Our writers have spent a lot of time this past year writing about the Nuggets pro bono and now that nothing's happening we think it's a pretty good time for a break. We'll obviously keep you updated on any free-agent signings, trades or general news we feel is relevant, but the 2,000-plus word analysis is likely over for a while. In other words, enjoy your summer — you can bet your ass we are — and let's do this thing again a few months down the road.
As always, thanks for reading.

text: I am sooooo excited. I'll be at WDW in almost 2 weeks showing my friend the World for her first time ever. She really wanted to do a character meal. I didn't want to take away from ride time, so I decided on a character dinner for our first night there... Which limits us because we can't do one in park since we don't have park tickets for our first night. The only thing I could get originally was the Garden Grove. Better than nothing. Every day for the last two weeks I have been checking on Chef Mickey's availability. This morning at 5:30am MST, it said AVAILABLE!!!!!! I freaked out and ended up scaring my husband because he had no idea why I was freaking out, and then I proceeded to call in the reservation. Sooooo excited!!! Now hopefully we can actually make it to the reservation, as we are both flying standby! Fingers crossed!!!

Paying Our DebtsThe Buddha praised the practice of meditation as a way of paying homage to the Buddha, Dhamma, and Sangha that was better than offering material objects. The practice of training the heart to reach purity pleased the Buddha because it is the way by which a person can gain release from all suffering and stress. The Buddha taught us to meditate so that we can free our hearts from their slavery to the defilements of the world. We're still not released from suffering as long as our minds still have worries and concerns. Being a slave to our concerns is like being in debt to them. When we're in debt, we have no real freedom in our hearts. The more we pay off our debts, the more lighthearted we'll feel. In the same way, if we can let go of our various worries and cares, peace will arise in our hearts. This is why the Buddha taught us to center our hearts in concentration so as to give rise to stillness, peace, and the inner wealth with which we'll be able to pay off all of our debts. More »

Wisdom of the WestI think Westerners lack respect for their own spiritual maturity. It's as though Asia owns spirituality, and we're these barbarians, beseeching, "Oh, Bhante, please come over and tell us how to live." But I've been to Asia, and they're just as screwed up as we are. And there's some real wisdom in our culture; the West has a tradition, too, of compassion and wisdom. And some people who aren't even religious have it. When I was in Asia I totally did whatever an Asian lay person would do—I have the deepest respect for this tradition—but Asia does not have a monopoly on kindness. In Asia, being a lay person is—from the point of view of meditational practice—considered second-class. I personally think that the monastic life does optimize your possibilities for breaking through to awakening. But it's by no means a guarantee. Most monasteries are hardly crammed full of enlightened people. But we need a teaching that addresses the lives we actually live. We do need to handle money. More »

Beginning and EndA lojong (mind-training) slogan, with a comment by Pema Chödrön: Slogan: Two activities: one at the beginning, one at the end. Comment: In the morning when you wake up, you reflect on the day ahead and aspire to use it to keep a wide-open heart and mind. At the end of the day, before going to sleep, you think over what you have done. If you fulfilled your aspiration, even once, rejoice in that. If you went against your aspiration, rejoice that you are able to see what you did and are no longer living in ignorance. This way you will be inspired to go forward with increasing clarity, confidence, and compassion in the days that follow. - Pema Chödrön, "Bite-Sized Buddhism," Tricycle Fall 2007 Read the complete article.

Mind the GapsIf you start really paying attention to your own thought process—I'm talking here about the process itself and not just the contents of the individual thoughts that make it up—you'll notice that thoughts don't just go on and on continuously. There are little spaces between them. Most of us tend to habitually try and fill these spaces up with more thoughts as fast as we possibly can. But even the best of us can't fill them all, so there are always little gaps. See, you might say that there are two basic kinds of thought. There are thoughts that pop up unannounced and uninvited in our brains for no reason we're able to discern. These are just the results of previous thoughts and experiences that have left their traces in the neural pathways of our brains. You can't do much to stop these, nor should you try. More »

No more mercy for MackeyElephant Journal's Buddhist-in-Chief Waylon Lewis was kinder to Whole Foods CEO John Mackey than most. Mackey's Wall St. Journal op-ed slamming "Obama Care" wasn't enough to get Way to join the call to boycott the organic foods giant. Taking a more measured approach, Way argued for tolerance in his Huffington Post blog last August ("Why I Ain't About to Boycott Whole Foods"). But that's all over now. Previously a Mackey defender, Way now writes, "I'm finally losing it, and he's finally losing me." What was Way's tipping point? News that Mackey counts himself among the global warming skeptics.

What planet is Brit Hume living on?The extent to which he can recover seems to me depends on his faith. He is said to be a Buddhist. I don't think that faith offers the kind of forgiveness and redemption that is offered by the Christian faith. My message to Tiger would, "Tiger, turn to the Christian faith and you can make a total recovery and be a great example to the world." —Brit Hume on Tiger Woods I'd say "Forgive him for he knows not what of what he speaks" but there's nothing to forgive and no one to forgive, and I've probably said too much already.

Teresa Harrison, an employee at Sawyer Exterminating in Burlington, N.C., estimated her company had 25 to 30 calls received wtihin the last two months, approximately 200 percent more than the number of calls received last year concerning stink bugs.
The number of brown marmorated stink bugs has increased since it was first spotted in the state in 2009, frustrating home and business owners.
"They're considered more a nuisance pest in our industry," said Lee Smith, member of the board of directors of the North Carolina Pest Management Association. "They're not going to attack a person or damage a home."

Also confused, same reasons, plus the fringe looks thick in the photo, not like yarn, but I can't blow up the photo to see better. I see the other comments are from 2012, so expecting it's not being updated or answered.
Yes, I agree. I can't picture how to attach fringe onto front and back side. Please clarify. I really like the purse.
The Finishing instructions are not clear at all. "wind yarn around cardboard...." then do what? cut them/tie them?

"I made the invitations a dark blue color to match the color that I chose for my wedding. The quality and printing of the invitations were very good, they turned out even better then I thought they would. I love the whimsical design of the swirls, everything shown on the invitation is very clear and legible. You get exactly what you approve the designer to do. Everyone who received the invitation loved it. They thought it it was very pretty. I just wish it had a little more space for the reception information."
"Our wedding is going to be a great, laid back, simple environment - we were not looking for something extremely fancy. These came out very cute. We are very excited to send them out! And even better they came flawless in AMAZING time!"
"Honestly the card came out exactly how I wanted. I based our engagement photo shoot around getting this shot for our invitations. It came out great. here was a minor hiccup that both my fiance, myself and WPD missed with a spelling but it was quickly corrected and new invites sent out within days. I am so so so happy with the invites and Kat was amazing on the phone. Doing this online saved me so much money. I am so happy with the final product."
"I love my invitations, response cards and reception cards! I am not into the new modern invitations with lots of color and designs. I was looking for a "classic" look - black and white - and this inviation had that. I was a little hesitant of the deisgn at the stop, but once I held the invite in person, I couldn't have been happier. It really is beautiful! It's clear they packaged the invites with care and attention. I can't say enough great things about this invitation and wedding paper divas! Thank you!!!"
"I loved this design from the beginning. It was perfect for our wedding theme; it has a nautical nod, which is what I was looking for. I was so excited for it to come and was even more impressed with it's timely arrival. These invitations, rsvp cards and enclosure cards exceeded my expectations and I am so happy with the final result. Worth every penny!"

Walkway help needed, modern landscape design
We have been slowly working on our home's curb appeal ( we are located in the SF Bay Area, north bay)
We need to determine what to do about the front walkway that we want to have go from the street/sidewalk up to our front door.
Currently we have the original 1970s concrete pads with rocks mixed in, which matches the driveway. The current path and driveway are in good shape, and we were thinking of keeping the driveway as is and just changing the path/walkway
Should we :
1) try to match the existing path and pour concrete forms and add rocks to mimic the original path
2) remove the existing path and buy bluestone rectangles 24 x 36 or 24 x 48 for a modern look
3) remove entire existing path and pour concrete forms with stained concrete that matches the color of our home
4). Leave existing path and buy square or rectangular concrete pavers or bluestone pavers (24 x 48") for new section
5) concrete over the existing path?
6) something else entirely
Thanks for any ideas / suggestions
Here is a picture of the front of our house from the street
I would be much less bothered by details not being worked out to perfection than I would if the overall scheme was not worked out so as to function properly. If this house was newly built and had no walk or drive at all, would we be installing a drive whose left edge cut rightward at a pronounced angle (so one would back out of the left side of garage and run off the drive if they weren't being careful.)?
You might examine the sidewalk issue by pretending that neither drive or sidewalk exist ... and how would you make them if you were starting from scratch? Working out the geometry of the layout would be the most important thing to get right. Once that is known, you could see how the existing surfaces can conform to the desired outcome. If the surfaces are in good shape, you could probably add on to them with the same material and obtain an integrated appearance. That has more appeal to me than adding bluestone or something else to the mix. Depending on the layout, it might work out so that another material could be added, but I'd want to see the layout first.
If the string and stakes represents a new walk, you should think about making it a little wider. Also, why do you wish to have a separate walk when the drive and walk are in close proximity? In general, I think of "modern" as simpler, more direct and well functioning. (Modern people don't like to put up with things that don't work well.)
You won't be able to exactly match the existing exposed aggregate concrete pads. ( the SF northbay concrete companies now use a completely different sand in their mix than they did just 7 years ago )
With a certain amount of post staining , to both the new and old pads, you'll be able to get somewhat close but it will never be perfectly matched.
I'd suggest demo'ing the existing pads and start with a new set.
New bluestone would be nice. Bay Area Bluestone, Wheeler Zameroni and American Soils all have a decent selection of sizes and colors at the moment.
That would be the pricest option.
Coming in second would be poured in place colored concrete. Van Midde and Sons does great work. His office in San Rafael has a lot of color and finish samples to look at.
Also check out the firm Lasting Impressions in Concrete for a competitive bid.
Another option - slightly less $ due to the labor costs is precast concrete pavers by Stepstone. They have a variety of sizes and colors that would work beautiful in this situation.
We just finished a project using their Calarc Pavers with a sandblast finish. It's a great looking product lending itself well to a modern look.
You can do a 'dry lay' with them as we did in this photo below - these are their 36 x 36 inch pavers :
Here is a link that might be useful: stepstone inc.
Choosing a theme is one approach to developing a unified design that ties together all of the various elements. Themes are a helpful tool to guide the design. When choosing a theme, pick one that related to the existing architecture of a home, the lifestyles and personalities of the family members and the preferences of the homeowners.
Thanks everyone for your postings and suggestions.
I love that look as of your precast concrete. We called them this morning and they are going to send out some samples and more information.
I think I am leaning towards removing the existing walkway and using something like that. It would be great if we had the budget to do the driveway at the sometime using their narrown linear line. Very cool and I love the modern look.
Do you know the approximate cost of those 3 x 3s you purchased?
Thanks again everyone!
I'll have to check with the general contractor and get back to you on the price but in my scribble notes I have $ 6.50 a sq. foot written. - will have to verify.
they have two different finishes - I like the sandblasted fly ash finish - it has little flecks of black in the finish and the fly ash actually has strength benefits as well.
If you were going to stay with the same paver pattern, then I would square off the pad going to the driveway and continue to the street following the same pattern as the first half of the walk. Don't zig to the left like your rope shows. I like how one edge is straight and the other varies. Love the photo deviant posted!

This is the perfect condo for a single traveler, or two persons if you are very close (as the unit itself is not very big). It is in a beautiful new and secure building, with a view of the water from the deck, and the amenities are fantastic (the roof deck with gym, infinity pool, and spa must be seen to fully appreciate). Rob is very easy to work with, and I would stay here again without hesitation. Everything you need is steps away, and the personnel at the front desk are extremely helpful and friendly.

After winning the jury prize at Cannes in 2010, Mahamat Saleh Haroun, has led the renaissance of cinema in his home country
When Mahamat Saleh Haroun left Chad as a young man in the 1980s the country was being torn apart by a brutal and seemingly endless civil war. Dictator Hissene Habre was accused of mass political killings, while the rule of military commander Idriss Deby, who took control in 1990, had been interspersed with violent and bloody sectarian skirmishes with rebel groups and Arab Janjaweed militia from Darfur.
Little wonder then that when growing up, Haroun's first love – film – was seen as an irrelevance.
But three decades later, after presidential elections boycotted by the opposition in 2011 saw Deby elected for a fourth term and a peace deal with Sudan ushered in a period of relative stability, the country is experiencing a modest cultural reawakening.
