Detailed Description:
Background and Study Rationale
In transplant recipients with CMV infection, the risk of developing CMV disease is directly proportional to the CMV DNA viral load. Historically at The Royal Free, Hampstead, patients were given preemptive therapy on the basis of two consecutive positive CMV PCR results as detected by a qualitative PCR technique. With the introduction of real time PCR, using a Taqman probe and the ABI7700 thermal cycler, it is possible to obtain rapid and sensitive results of viral load on clinical samples with a lower limit of detection of 200 copies/ml. Thus, viral load data can be incorporated into the clinical management of the patient.
From our natural history data, it has been shown that patients with CMV disease had a CMV PCR load ranging from 14,000 to 203 million (median 175,500). The lower bound of the 95% confidence limits of this distribution was 37,000 copies/ml and we aimed to initiate therapy in time to prevent CMV viral load reaching this value. To give a margin of safety, bearing in mind the 1 day average doubling-time of CMV and the timing of sampling twice-weekly, we therefore recommended that preemptive therapy be given once the viral load increases above 3,000 copies/ml. In the past, all patients with a CMV PCR load between 200 and 3,000 copies/ml have received preemptive treatment because the previous PCR assay did not give a quantitative result. As treatment is associated with side effects such as neutropaenia (ganciclovir) and renal impairment (foscarnet) it would be preferable to avoid unnecessary exposure where possible. This study aims to determine: a) whether those patients with 'low level' viral load results (between 200 and 3,000 copies/ml) could be monitored as opposed to starting preemptive therapy with valganciclovir, ganciclovir and/or foscarnet; b) whether those patients with 'high level' viral load results (above 3,000 copies/ml) could stop preemptive therapy earlier, thus maximising the benefits of therapy and minimising its risks.
Primary Objectives
- To define the number of patients in Group A with a low level of CMV reactivation who subsequently develop a viral load greater than 3000 copies/ml.
- To define the number of patients in Group B who develop a second episode of a viral load above 3000 copies/ml after therapy has been discontinued at the defined viral load cut-offs.
Secondary Objectives
- To define the duration of antiviral therapy needed to treat CMV viraemia.
- To record the rate of increase in viral load prior to starting preemptive therapy.
- To correlate viral loads with CMV specific immune function.

The traditional ways to communicate about our work– word of mouth, newsletter mailings, and ask letters— still do, in fact, get the job done. But with advancements in social media – Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, blogs and listservs – we can get our messages out even better and more quickly, to more and new people.
The W. Haywood Burns Institute in Northern California is a prime example of the success that can be achieved with a comprehensive social media strategy to stay in touch with the media, subscribers and practitioners. Utilizing several social media outlets including Facebook and Twitter accounts, a YouTube channel and a blog, the Institute has been able to sustain their impact and build new interest in their organizing efforts and research.
"I think that social media has become the great equalizer," said Lauren Jones, communications associate for the Haywood Burns Institute. "Financial resources are usually very tight, so these new low-cost platforms make for an amazing opportunity to spread the word. In the past, the model was different: you had to become really chummy with a reporter, or spend a lot of money on an ad campaign. Social media isn't like that. It's free, it's accessible, and if you know how to use it really effectively, it can be just as powerful as a traditional PR campaign. But it does take work."
During the Sixth Annual Models for Change National Working Conference which took place in December in Washington, DC, members were challenged to post photos, videos and status updates on Facebook and chronicle workshops and experiences on Twitter with the hashtag #modelsforchange. It was a test to document the social media savvy of Models for Change members and build capacity for carrying the momentum within states to promote our message of reform. Only a handful of attendees posted updates on both platforms, while most others asked how and what the few social networkers were doing on their smartphones and iPads.
There was, however, a spike in use during the more rousing portions of the conference when producer of "The Wire," David Simon gave a controversial keynote address on juvenile justice, the war on drugs and jury nullification, and when Rev. Jesse Jackson made a cameo appearance at the event held at the Mayflower Hotel.
Juliana Wiggins Stratton, Director of Cook County's Judicial Advisory Council, tweeted: "Keynote speaker David Simon (creator of The Wire)..."War in Drugs is a war on the poor...an assault on the under-class." #ModelsForChange"
The Campaign for Youth Justice tweeted: "I'd rather you stop seeing a drug defendant and start seeing the kid that he is. -David Simon at #modelsforchange"
What was clear throughout the conference was that there is still a learning curve that needs to be addressed. "Social media has come on us so fast that it's not surprising that there's always going to be some late adopters," said Ben Chambers, Communications Specialist for the National Juvenile Justice Network (NJJN).
Once that learning curve is navigated, however, organizations can incorporate the various platforms in their communication plans for sustainability, extending reach and making new contacts which could result in garnering supporters and donors.
The Coalition for Juvenile Justice (CJJ) uses social media in its overall communications efforts to highlight news about the organization including its monthly e-newsletter, publications, media mentions and to send time-sensitive action alerts.
"Another goal is to create a sense of community for juvenile justice," said Idit Knaan, CJJ director of communications and operations. "By highlighting the good work of members and other organizations in the field, we recognize and reinforce their efforts. By posting photos of our members from various CJJ events and meetings, we hope to create a sense of connection among our members as well as to CJJ's mission. It's a simple, cost-effective way to connect with our members and colleagues."
"I can say I think it's a good thing for us; even as little as we do it because I can see the stats," added Chambers. "Facebook is one of the leaders in direct referrals to our website. People are finding us that way."
The Models for Change initiative launched its own Facebook page not long ago. Jason Fenster at the Justice Policy Institute, who currently administers the page, says, "It's one more way to spread information, and one that's less formal and can feel friendlier and more accessible. We know not everyone's on Facebook, but for those who are, it can be a quick way to share a link or a picture."
NJJN joined Facebook last summer and currently has 400 "likes." It plans to add a Twitter account soon. Chambers conducted a media training in 2010 for NJJN members that included a Facebook how-to session. He said attendees saw the benefit but also struggled with the 'it's-just-me-in-the-office' syndrome and the fact that with all the work put in to writing posts and maintaining various pages and accounts, returns may be "soft" and hard to measure.
"Like anything, communications itself included, it takes a personality match for actually doing the work," Chambers continued. "In terms of whether it makes sense for researchers or other folks, I don't think there's whole lot of question about it. We have a lot more opportunities to get our information out. It happens more efficiently."
Some communications experts, however, think that social media is not for everyone – time management and outcome tracking being the main concerns.
Marie Yeager, who leads the Models for Change communications efforts in Pennsylvania, says she has spent a lot of resources media monitoring and measurement when it comes to social media. "There's nothing out there right now that really tracks reach in social media or accurate reach for online numbers," said Yeager. "We've spent a lot more time with traditional ways of outreach like newspapers, methods that you can take to the bank, quantifying results. We try to be very targeted with what we do."
There are some ways organizations measure their success, however, according to Jones, including Facebook's free analysis of daily and weekly users, Google Analytics which produces free spreadsheets and graphics on visitors and Klout which tracks the impact of a Twitter member's influence. "We also use engagement as a metric of success," said Jones, who tracks how many people comment and share posts that she creates for the Burns Institute. ""The combination of traditional outreach with social media can be really powerful. We can tell our own stories and don't have to rely on other people doing so."Yeager realizes this and does not totally discount social media as a way to garner a different audience – she simply makes a point that operating one or more social media platforms is a time investment and may not be as easy as some think.
"It's really a matter of whether or not you have the extra time to invest," she said. "It's free; it's just an investment of time. If you have the time, it's a bonus. I wouldn't say that there is no return, it's just not measureable, so go for it. You have to carefully determine who it is you're trying to reach and what's the best way."
Yeager added that she does realize that social media builds motivation and awareness, particularly amongst young people and brings visibility to various causes."These platforms are free to use, and a really easy way to share our own stories and hard statistics," said Jones. "If you combine the personal storytelling and anecdotes with hard facts, the public will listen to what you're saying. Social media is based on people seeking out things; it's not something that you passively consume like television. They engage and they dig deeper."

Why do you want an agency? Many agencies are not very reliable, and some are interested only in obtaining a fee from employers, employees, or even both.
I have always preferred to deal with the school direct or, in the case of chains, with the chain's recruiting office. There are always lots of jobs at Welcome - TEFL.com. There are other sites too, but I found a couple of good jobs through tefl.com

Ok i have a mate who's an electronics developer & engineer, he's worked for sony & sony ericsson in the past, but is currently working at Virgin Galactic. Anyway, we've been discussing this phone & a few of the problems with it that have been highlighted on this forum.
Mainly to do with the power issues most of you are experiencing, he's done some maths (which i won't bore you all with), but the long & short of it is that he's feels fairly confident Nokia have installed the wrong size battery in this handset, a 3.8v 1450mAh Li-Ion we believe!.
He's based his equations on the basis of the Se w995 which he helped design & develop which uses a 1500mAh battery, Now he's taken into account the Lumia's Amoled screen size (roughly 4 x the size that of the w995), & the fact that the Amoled screen theorectically consumes 20% less power than tft/lcd of equal size, but has concluded would draw 328% more power than the SE' does!. Couple this with the always operating window OS, compared to SE own call to demand symbian & java based OS of the w995 - he calculates power comsumption to be at least 115% more & above that of the w995 in standby.
He used the w995 as a comparison because the hardware features are fairly similar (excluding phone size & touch screen), ie wifi, bluetooth & network connectivity etc!.
In a nutshell, he figures to match a phone such as the w995 in a 36 hour standard use & energy performance + overall longevity - the battery needs to be at least a 3.7v 2450mAh high capacity, which i've just checked out & is equal to that of the iphones etc.
Basically i guess from this... software upgrades of any kind aren't going to improve your phones vast power consumptions by very much at all. What's really needed, & what you all really need to demand from Nokia is a battery upgrade for your handsets!.
I hope you all get this sorted!.
02-03-2012 14:35 - edited 02-03-2012 14:39
See its reappeared then!.
Sadly i expect there not enough space left inside the handset to fit the larger 2450mAh!.
What to do eh!.
02-03-2012 14:42
If you read around a few tech sites you will see that the battery prob has been sorted in a new firmware.
02-03-2012 14:49
Be nice for customers if you're right!.
Hope it's not at the cost of the battery's life span though!.
Might end up buying one for myself after all then if feedback remains positive.
02-03-2012 14:57
02-03-2012 15:18
The Battery in the SE W995 is only a 930mAh as standard. not 1500mAh
If this Post is helpful. A click on the White Kudos star is always Appreciated
Last Nokia: Nokia Lumia 800
Current Phone: A Non Nokia Device
Previous Phones:Don't Ask ;-)
02-03-2012 15:28
Iphone only has a 1420mAh battery i believe, NOT a 2400mAh as op suggests.
02-03-2012 15:57
If it's wrong then it's wrong. Won't argue about it!. Don't shoot the messenger!.
Have a go at the bloke who no longer works for Sony Ericsson if ya can, who happens to be not anywhere near here!.
After all i was only trying to help!.
Pretty sure when i checked out info on the 2450mAh, i read was used in iphones though!.
02-03-2012 16:03
iPhone 4S battery is Li-Po 1432 mAh and I am not surprised your friend is in hiding.
02-03-2012 16:11 - edited 02-03-2012 16:33
I almost find myself wanting to "Like" your comment!.
And here's me complaining to the the Mods earlier about removing my post.... should've kept my damn mouth shut!.
Hindsight eh!, a wonderful it is!.
Just returned my texted & says the 1500 mAh is the high capacity battery for heavy media use on the w995, as too is the 2450mAh for heavy media use in smart phones!. Apparently not stock, but an additional purchase in most countries.
So i guess the point he was making is 'if the battery in the Lumia wasn't/isn't doing the job, & it wasn't a software issue causing it - then the 2450mAh would more than likely solve it!.
Make of that whatever you will....
02-03-2012 16:23
No harm done. Just make sure you apologize to the mods and send them a box of Cadburys Roses. I know they all seem to have butch names but I happen to know they are a sensitive bunch. You know what they say about guys with big cars/phones/names and all that.
The Lumia battery isn't all that bad. I have a bunch of smartphones of various brands. They all last between 2-4 days for me. The Lumia is neither the best nor the worst, but it is by far the classiest looking phone (apart from the N9).
Get one and surprise yourself. Any problems, ask us and not that so called friend.
02-03-2012 16:37
Might even spend a few pence more & splash out on a box of Heroes!.
02-03-2012 16:57
I wouldn't go quite that far. They've got big enough heads as it is. The Cadburys Roses will be more that sufficient.

Mississippi Ranks 48th in U.S. in Public Health SpendingBy Rhonda Miller | Published 05 Jul 2012 03:26pm |
A recent study ranks Mississippi 48th in the nation in funding for public health. MPB's Rhonda Miller takes a look at what the diagnosis means for for the health of the Magnolia State.
State health leaders agree on one thing – something has to be done to address the life-and-death issues of heart disease, cancer, obesity and diabetes. During a recent health summit in Hattiesburg, Chairman of the State Board of Health Dr. Luke Lampton said anemic funding is a contributing factor to Mississippi's health problems .
"The state has to get its priorities right. Why is it spending one-ninth of what Alabama is on public health? Louisiana and Arkansas spend five times more."
Lampton was quoting a recent study by the Trust for America's Health, which reported Mississippi spends about $9 per resident, while Alabama spends $70, Arkansas spends $51 and Louisiana spends $49 per resident on public health.
Lampton doesn't see federal funding for Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act as a magic bullet for Mississippi's health problems.
"There could be great benefit in the plan. I think there's also a lot of possibility of bad things, too. I think those who have reviewed the bill see too much bureaucracy. Personally, I'd like more of the money spent on direct patient care."
Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant offered early opposition to the Medicaid expansion. He said even the state's small share of funding would be disastrous to the state budget.
However, the state insurance commissioner advised the governor this week to delay any decision until the options for Medicaid expansion can be explored.
But the director of the Mississippi Network for Cancer Control and Prevention, Freddie White Johnson, says illness doesn't wait.
"So many people are dying prematurely. We see people dying from stage four breast cancer, cervical cancer, colon cancer, prostate cancer because of lack of transportation, lack of insurance."
Johnson knows first-hand how lack of insurance affects health. Her father had no insurance when he was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. He applied for Medicare. Six weeks later he died. Three months after his death, his Medicare card came in the mail.

In that time, the neighborhood around him has grown more troubled, but it was just in the past couple of months that he has found himself a target of crime.Bennett showed FOX 5's Justin Gray the damage and the items taken from A-1 Auto Parts on Vine Street. Engines, a hood, radiators, tires and other parts from vehicles were taken. Other evidence is busted windows and windshields.He says he was recovering in the hospital after a heart attack when the break-ins began.Atlanta police started doing surveillance of the business and arrested Rodney Brown and Otis Walker earlier this month after allegedly catching the pair in the act of burglarizing the business.However, this didn't stop the thefts. In fact, FOX 5 cameras found new evidence of a break-in that happened within 24-hours of speaking with Bennett.

i've always thought p4p talk was silly and just an excuse for certain fighters to avoid others, but lately, this shit is getting ridiculous. let me put this in perspective...when a guy like floyd dominates at 130 to 135 then moves up to win straps against quality opposition in the 140, 147 and 154 weight classes...ok, i'll listen to p4p talk. when a guy like pac fights 3 of the best fighters(jmm, em, barrera) in his division a total of ten times and comes out on top...yeah, i'll listen to p4p arguments on that one too! u want to be considered p4p one of the best in boxing...prove you are the best in your division. andre ward just fought in a tournament involving all the best at 168....and when the dust settled...he was the last man standing. he has proven to be the best in his division. i don't see anyone out there that would argue otherwise.
when a guy like donaire, who i think has the potential to be something special, chooses not to acknowledge the best in his division...and hasn't really proven to be the best in his division...that's where the p4p discussion needs to end. stop!!! i think agbeko, mares, moreno and rigondeaux all have something to say on the matter. i'm not saying he has to fight all of these guys....but at least beat 1 or 2. maybe a tournament is in order for 122 as well?
what say u?

The Vancouver Canucks will have Saturday off to recuperate and recover from back-to-back losses against the Los Angeles Kings. The Canucks will head to Los Angeles in a surprising 2-0 hole and just two more losses from being ushered out of the playoffs in a surprising upset. They'll also be taking their road trip without star winger and alternate captain Daniel Sedin.
According to the official Canucks Twitter feed, Sedin will not be traveling with the team to Southern California. Sedin has not played since suffering a concussion on March 21 as a result of a vicious hit by Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Duncan Keith.
Sedin not traveling with the team essentially rules him out for games three and four of the series. It is possible Sedin may have to watch his team get eliminated not even from the sidelines, but from home.

Following the discussions and Adm. Giampaola Di Poala, Chairman of the NRC – MR and Army General Nikolay Makarov, the Russain Federation Chief of Defence assumed formally the joint and general editorship of the NATO-Russia Council Consolidated Glossary of Cooperation (NRC-CGC). This glossary contains over 7000 agreed terms in Russian and English and covers almost all key areas of NATO-Russia political and military cooperation such as counter-terrorism, counter-piracy, logistics, military-to-military cooperation, etc..
For Admiral Di Paola, "The Glossary symbolizes the genuine efforts which NATO and Russia have made to understand each other better and to work together at a new level of cooperation towards a true strategic partnership. Ten years after the first edition of this glossary, we have today seven times more agreed words, which demonstrates that our common vocabulary is growing, as is our relationship."

Police: Man was on school grounds at night with shotgunAugust 17,2013Police: Man had shotgun at school
BENNINGTON A local man was arraigned this week after police said he brandished a shotgun on the grounds of the Mount Anthony Union Middle School on Wednesday.
School is not currently in session and the man does not work for the school.
Thomas R. Dwyer Jr., 58, pleaded innocent in Bennington criminal court Thursday to misdemeanor charges of possessing a weapon at a school with intent to injure another person, reckless endangerment, grossly negligent operation of a motor vehicle and disorderly conduct. Dwyer was released without bail but has been ordered to undergo a competency evaluation.
In an affidavit, Sgt. Michael Plusch of the Bennington Police Department said he was dispatched to the parking lot of the middle school on East Road in Bennington, around 9:25 p.m. Wednesday.
Plusch said when he was approaching the school, he saw a man, later identified as Dwyer, coming out of the woods with a shotgun. Plusch said he got out of his police cruiser, drew his weapon and told Dwyer to drop the gun.
While Plusch said Dwyer initially continued toward him holding the shotgun and saying he had a right to protect himself, Dwyer did put the gun on the ground after being told to do so a second time.
Plusch said Dwyer told him he was sick and tired of being pushed around and watched all the time.
According to police, Dwyer had been holding a 20-gauge shotgun with a one round in the chamber.
Police also spoke to the people who had called to report Dwyer. Plusch said they told Officer David Faden, also of the Bennington Police Department, that they had pulled into the schools parking lot because their car was overheating. While they were trying to fix the car, Dwyer drove at them twice, almost hitting them, they told police.
According to the affidavit, the two people, a man and a woman, Dwyer pulled up next to them and asked them in what they believed was a threatening way if they were looking for him. They said Dwyer left after they told him they hadnt been looking for him but they were afraid he might return and hurt them so they left.MORE IN This Just InTOWNSHEND — A 26-year-old Townshend man shot his off-again, on-again girlfriend late...

Fischer-Kerrey battle highlights Nebraska ballot
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) _ The big race in Nebraska this election day involves who will replace Democrat ben Nelson in the U.S. Senate. Former governor and two term senator Bob Kerrey has whittled what was a double digit lead for his Republican opponent former state senator Deb Fischer to the plus or minus margin of error in the last Omaha World Herald Poll. Fischer is trying to retain her GOP conservative base while Kerrey is hoping to get enough crossover votes to pull the upset.
Nebraskans are also voting on three congressional races. Jeff Fortenberry and Adrian Smith are considered favorites to win today, while Representative Lee Terry faces a tight race in the 2nd District.
Nebraska voters will also decide four ballot measures, including whether state senators should get their first raise since 1988 and be allowed to serve an extra term. Voters also will choose whether to expand the
grounds for impeachment and establish a state constitutional right to hunt and fish.

When to Apply for a Temple Divorce
As soon as a woman is ready to be sealed to a new man (either a fiancé or husband) she can apply for a temple divorce (see Can Mormons Divorce?), which is called a Temple Sealing Cancellation.
When a man is ready to be sealed to a new woman (either a fiancé or wife) his request will be for a Temple Sealing Approval.
If a couple are first married civilly they must me married for one year before a previous temple sealing will be canceled. Since the paperwork usually takes several months to process, a bishop would probably allow a couple to begin the process a few months before their year is complete.
How to Have a Temple Divorce
To have a temple sealing canceled a woman must meet with her bishop and prepare the proper paperwork. She must write a letter to the First Presidency which will need to include the following information:
- Reasons for the divorce
- Reasons for requesting a temple sealing cancellation
- Plans to be sealed to another person
- Transgressions by either party (that were confessed to a bishop or other priesthood authority)
- If you are in compliance with a judgment (if applicable)
How Long Does it Take?
Applying and being approved for a temple sealing cancellation may take anywhere from a few months to over a year. Because each situation is unique there is not a standard amount of time; each case is processed on an individual basis.
Once a request for a temple sealing cancellation (or permission to be sealed to another woman) has been submitted to the First Presidency a couple must wait for the paperwork to be approved before they can be sealed to a new spouse.
If an engaged couple change their plans and decide to be married civilly before their paperwork is complete they must inform the First Presidency of the change in their situation. Their paperwork will probably then be put on hold until the couple have been married for the required year.
Approval for a Temple Divorce
Requesting a temple sealing cancellation does not guarantee that the request will be granted. Due to the sacred nature of the temple sealing covenant the First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ seek the Lord's counsel in reviewing and approving each individual request. President Gordon B. Hinckley said:
"The most burdensome responsibility I have is to make judgments on applications for cancellation of temple sealings following civil divorce. Each case is considered on its individual merits. I pray for wisdom, for the direction of the Lord in dealing with sacred covenants made in the most hallowed surroundings and of an eternal nature" ("A Conversation with Single Adults, Ensign, Mar 1997, 58).I know, from personal experience, the pain and anguish of an unhappy marriage and hurtful divorce. But I also know the joy that comes from a healthy courtship that leads to a healthy marriage and know that the Lord has provided a way for all things.

Holiday movies, much like , fall into two categories: classics and catastrophes.
The only thing worse than finding sap leaking from your Christmas tree onto your carpet is suffering through a sappy movie oozing from your television set.
You could find a lump of coal in your stocking if you subject family members to "Santa Claus vs. the Martians," "Christmas with the Kranks" or "Jingle All the Way."
So, here's Patch's guide to five great Christmas movie classics.
No surprise here. Frank Capra's 1946 picture has become a Christmas Eve staple on network television and recognized by the AFI as one of the 100 greatest American films ever made.
For a holiday movie, it's pretty dark stuff. Jimmy Stewart plays George Bailey, a troubled small town denizen who attempts to commit suicide by jumping off a bridge. Thankfully, he is interrupted by angel Clarence, who shows him what life in Bedford Falls would be like without him.
This 1983 comedy is likely second in popularity behind Capra's film as the most cherished Christmas classic. In the movie, a young boy named Ralphie who is growing up in Indiana during the 1940s wants nothing more than a Red Ryder BB gun for Christmas. But his parents and teachers consistently remind him, "You'll shoot your eye out!"
The Nightmare Before Christmas
Henry Selick and Tim Burton collaborated on this oddball stop motion animation film that doubles as a Christmas and Halloween classic. In the picture, Jack Skellington (voiced by Danny Elfman), a creature from Halloween Town, opens a portal to Christmas Town and attempts to take over toy delivery from Santa.
This French movie, which translates to "Merry Christmas," was a Best Foreign Film nominee at the 2005 Academy Awards.
It tells the true story of a Christmas truce between French and German troops along the western front during World War I.
Wait, what? I know it may seem like a stretch to include Terry Gilliam's visionary science fiction comedy on a list of the best holiday films.
In the dystopian fantasy, a lowly bureaucrat is arrested on Christmas Day after he attempts to fix an administrative error. And Santa Claus even makes an appearance. Sort of.
We'd love to hear from Douglaston Patch readers. What is your favorite holiday-themed movie? Please add your responses in the comment section below.

Being optimistic is good but lets not forget the defense is showing its age this year. It appears the window of opportunity has been slammed shut and now we have to rebuild the D.
So are you for or against trading Brooks and/or Rice if another team wanted them?
I don't mind signing Brooks for the old 1 day contract...but I don't care what another team is offering I'd take it.
Smart management
for the love of all that is good get that pic out of here Abuccs!!!! Please, I'm begging you....
If the trade was right I have no problem with that, add Booger to the list. DB will retire a Buc though.

(ABC) - An amazing animal rescue happened at the Denver Zoo. A struggling newborn Tapir got mouth-to snout resuscitation from zoo staffers.
A female Tapir went into labor and moments later, she's caught on camera giving birth to her baby. Denver Zoo staffers were watching in another room when they noticed something was wrong.
Zoo Staffer Rebecca McCloskey and veterinarian Gwen Jankowski rushed in to help the newborn. They were forced to break open the amniotic sac and perform mouth-to-snout resuscitation. With just a few short breaths, the baby Tapir was able to breathe on his own.

Canada-based Progressive Dairyman published an article on harvesting forage safely by University of Maine Cooperative Extension's Steven Johnson, crops specialist, and Dawna Cyr, farm safety project assistant. The article originally appeared in Progressive Forage Grower magazine.
Rick Kersbergen, University of Maine Cooperative Extension educator of sustainable dairy and forage systems, spoke with the Kennebec Journal about the low quality of this year's hay harvest due to a rainy June. Kersbergen spoke about the loss of nutrients while farmers wait for the hay to dry. He said once the hay crop quality drops, the only remedy is a second crop of good quality hay.

Bedford Co., VA - Students at Jefferson Forest High School in Forest hope the death of a classmate will encourage teens to make good decisions on the roads.
Students are launching Bronwyn's Challenge, in memory of 15 year old Bronwyn Farris, who died after a car crash last week.
Police say Farris was not wearing a safety belt.
Now student leaders are launching the program.
Students who sign a pledge to buckle up will get a wristband to wear.
"Every time you get in your car, whether you're putting your hand on the steering wheel, starting the car, you look at it and you're just going to think what happened to ultimately your family member, which is your classmate and you'll just remember to buckle up," said JF Senior Kamden Becraft.
All students at JF will have the opportunity to sign the pledge at safe driving assemblies next month.
There were also be an event held for parents.

A Port Charlotte woman made a gruesome discovery - a dead puppy curled up in its bed sitting in the middle of the road.
The case is still a mystery to animal control officers who are asking for your help.
Jennifer Baiardi is a dog lover.
"I mean, I love animals," she says.
She's repeatedly turned down offers from people looking to buy her pit bull, Shiloh. So she was never prepared for what she discovered Friday.
"I'm still trying to get over it," she said.
While doing some yard work, she noticed a small dog bed lying in the road.
"I didn't think anything of it, at first," Baiardi admits.
Eventually, reluctantly, she walked across the street to see what was in the bed.
"It shocked me. I cannot believe people can do something like that, I just can't," she says.
Baiardi found a Chihuahua puppy stiff and dead wearing a T-shirt curled up in its bed underneath a towel.
"It's like it fell asleep and never woke up," explains Lt. Brian Jones with Charlotte County Animal Control
In 15 years working for animal control, Jones has never seen anything like this.
"I was just astounded. We were speechless like 'wow, don't see that everyday'," he admits.
Jones is investigating the case, but doesn't know who owned the dog or how it died. He has more questions than answers right now.
"We don't know how it ended up there. It seemingly just dropped out of the clear blue sky," Jones says.
Investigators haven't ruled out animal cruelty playing a role in the dog's death and haven't decided whether or not to conduct a necropsy.
Baiardi doesn't recognize the dog from the neighborhood, but hopes animal control can find out who it belonged to.
Investigators say they've canvassed the neighborhood - at the intersection of Blossom and Norwood streets - looking for clues.
They point out that the dog appeared to be well cared for.
If you have any information about the dog, call animal control at 941-833-5690. You can remain anonymous.

Saxonpride... if you have a starving family, you steal food, not a disabled person's wheelchair which may be their only way of moving more than a few feet. And if you have a starving family in this country, the chances are that's because you've blown all your benefit money on drugs anyway.
Rest assured, no matter how awful the crime - society is somehow to blame.

By Paul Leighton
---- — BEVERLY — Lahey Health, the parent company of Northeast Health Systems and Gloucester's Addison Gilbert Hospital, has relinquished operation of four programs on the North Shore that help people deal with rape, HIV, AIDs, drug abuse and mental illness, though none of the dropped programs are on Cape Ann.
The programs, based in Beverly, Peabody and Lynn, have been taken over by other agencies as of July 1 and will continue to provide services, said Kevin Norton, CEO of Lahey Health Behavioral Services.
The programs include Prism, which provided free HIV counseling and testing in Beverly; Pioneer House of Peabody for people with mental illness; the North Shore Rape Crisis Center in Lynn; and Healthy Streets, a Lynn-based outreach program for injection drug users.
Lahey is also looking for a new provider to take over Serenity Supportive Housing in Topsfield, according to Norton. Serenity provides housing for people who are HIV positive.
Norton said Lahey Health wanted to continue operating Pioneer House, but was outbid for the contract by another agency. Lahey decided to stop operating the other programs in order to focus on "core services" under health care reform, he said.
Norton said the programs have "incredible value" to the community but might be "better operated by a different provider."
"Prevention and outreach is typically done by somebody other than members of the health care community," he said. "The question is, do you want to try and be all things to all people, or specialize and be better than everybody else?"
Prism, which had been located on Rantoul Street in Beverly for 16 years, closed its doors on June 27. In addition to HIV counseling and testing, the program offered youth social and support groups, free condoms and safe-sex information, and outreach at clubs, bars and parties to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people.
The Prism program has been taken over by the Massachusetts Alliance of Portuguese Speakers, an agency based in Cambridge.
Kirsten Freni, a counselor at Prism, said the program's move out of Beverly will leave a gap in services for the gay and lesbian community, particularly for younger people.
"We've got clients calling and crying," Freni said. "We have all of these youths now who are not going to have the deep level of services as well as the relationships we have built over the years. The fact that there's not going to be any legacy left here is heart-wrenching."
Freni is also board president of the North Shore Alliance of Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Youth and a member of the Massachusetts Commission on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Youth. She said she and two other staffers at Prism lost their jobs due to the change.
Norton said he did not know how many people lost jobs in the transition. In some cases, he said, the new operator hired all of the staff to continue to run the program.
Norton said Lahey Behavioral Health continues to provide a range of mental health and addiction treatment services, with 1,800 employees at 34 locations and annual revenue over $110 million.
Lahey assumed control of the behavioral health programs when it essentially merged with Northeast Health and Beverly Hospital last year. The programs were formerly run by CAB Health and Recovery Services and Health and Education Services. Those two agencies also merged in 2010.

I have rink envy, I won't deny it.
Every other day Kris Draper (@kdraper33), Darcy Tucker (@16DarcyTucker) or Gary Roberts (@GaryRobertsHPT) post pictures of their far more modern day, backyard rinks.
The chilling units used by the fortunate few puts Mother Nature on the bench and extends the season beyond what any of us "old school" builders can dream of.
However, the reality at Casa Dreger is based on limits...mostly space and money, so for an 8th straight year our budget friendly build is well underway.
As the photos accompanying this blog show, for a 3rd consecutive season, we're going with an elevated subfloor which maximizes the length (fence to pool) to 40 feet. The subfloor, underpinned with support and anchored to the end 2 x 12's with 4 inch, heavy-duty screws, is also bolstered by 2x8 and 2x4 cross-bracing underneath to ensure the load of the ice is properly managed.
Click Here For Photo Gallery
Although the pictures only show 2 sections of the subfloor, eventually, I will install 6 across the west end of the rink and will probably have to add a 2nd row to get to the level point of the yard.
Once the subfloor has been secured, we're ready for the tarp.
I use a standard tarp as its really only there to cover the wood, grass and patio, providing a smoother surface for the liner which also helps limit the potential for tearing.
If you tear or put a hole in your liner...you're done.
In my next blog, I'll attach the next round of photos showing the full subfloor, followed by placement of the tarp and liner.
In the meantime, please send your backyard rink pictures to firstname.lastname@example.com and we will include them in our photo gallery on TSN.ca.

Birmingham firefighters were honored for their heroism at a ceremony Thursday, including a captain who was named Firefighter of the Year.
Captain Roderick Moore was selected from a field of six honorees for his efforts to rescue a man trapped in the rear of a burning vehicle, suffering minor burns along the way. The veteran firefighter started his 27-year career as a recruiter at Station 9, where he now serves as its captain. This is the second time in just two weeks that Captain Moore was selected as Firefighter of the Year.
"It makes me feel good, like I'm doing my job, and being recognized for doing a good job," Moore said.
Estelle Smith, Birmingham Area Insurance Professional President said, "This started in 1950, when we were a new organization. We've always been please to recognize the firefighter of the year for his heroic actions. So it's really a tradition."
This is the 54th annual event honoring firefighters, hosted by the Birmingham Area Insurance Professionals and Birmingham Independent Insurance agents. Captain Moore received a plaque and $500 dollars for his bravery.

The South Florida Bulls made a late run at the West Virginia Mountaineers on Saturday, but WVU held on for a 50-44 win to keep their hopes of an at-large bid in the 2012 NCAA Tournament alive. Darryl Bryant was just 2-for-11 from the field, but went 12-for-12 from the free throw line to help close out the victory.
The Mountaineers scored their final 10 points from the charity stripe, and went 18-for-21 for the game to outscore the Bulls by 10 points from the line. Kevin Jones was also perfect, making all four of his free throw attempts in the final 1:51 of the second half to lead the West Virginia with 18 points total. His 6-for-18 performance from the floor actually improved the Moutaineers anemic 28.8 shooting percentage for the game.
The Bulls shot 39.5 percent from the floor, but were outrebounded 32-27 and committed 13 turnovers to eight for the Mountaineers. The game had massive NCAA Tournament implications. With a win, South Florida could have swapped places with West Virginia as one of the last teams into the Big Dance. Now they will need a big run in the Big East Tournament next week to strengthen their resume.

Gov. Pat Quinn says the state will help tornado-ravaged communities across Illinois with "every asset we have."
The governor spoke in Chicago Monday before traveling to central and southern Illinois communities to see storm damage first hand.
Sunday's storms killed at least six people and injured dozens of others. Hundreds of homes and buildings were damaged or destroyed.
Jonathon Monken is director of the Illinois Emergency Management Agency. He says the late-season storms were an "unprecedented event" in the state for November.
The governor is set to visit the Tazewell County community of Washington later Monday morning, where between 250 and 500 buildings were damaged or destroyed and about 120 people were injured. He'll also visit with Diamond, Gifford, Brookport and New Minden.
Quinn declared seven Illinois counties as disaster areas Monday. The declaration area covers Champaign, Grundy, LaSalle, Massac, Tazewell, Washington and Woodford counties.
The disaster designation is aimed at making it easier for state resources to help hard-hit communities.
Quinn's office says technical rescue teams have been dispatched across Illinois.

Free sandbags to help Rochford residents cope with possible flooding
Updated 6:13pm Thursday 13th February 2014 in News By Ian Weinfass, Senior reporter
A COUNCIL will be handing out free sandbags and sand to residents tomorrow – in case flooding returns to the district.
Rochford Council will be providing the bags at BSG Buildbase on the Purdeys Industrial Estate on Friday, February 14.
Residents will need to take proof of residency with them, such as a council tax or utility bill.
They will not be expected to pay for them, just to sign for them.
Deputy leader of the council, Keith Hudson, said: "Because of the exceptional weather conditions we are experiencing at the moment, following urgent discussions with our officers this afternoon, Rochford District Council has approved this move to help residents all that we possibly can."
David Cameron said that councils should not charge residents for sandbags earlier today.
Rochford Council also called a meeting on Wednesday afternoon with partner agencies to discuss the response to flooding issues.
The meeting was a move to work more closely with Anglia Water, Essex County Council's Highways department and the Flooding Partnership manager at Essex County Council to find joint solutions to tackle flooding.

You need a great many bags correctly filled and laid, to protect a house. Nearly every time water will still get in. You would be better moving things up or out. Look at the sand bag leaflet on the Environment Agency website which will surprise hou at how much it takes. Although well meaning this may make people delay taking action to put furniture upstairs etc.

Don't expect sandbags to stop water getting in. They will however filter out the drowned rats and the richards as well as other floating detritus

The average sandbag weighs 20kg you would need atleast 10 sand bags to cover a door properly plus some to cover the air bricks (most people forget them) thats another five sand bags . 250Kg in the boot of your car! Good luck!
think about it !!
