Otley family bid farewell to an amazing six-year-old
7:00am Thursday 17th April 2014 in Local news By Jim Jack, Reporter
An Otley family will say goodbye to their amazing six-year old son today.
Harry Buckley was diagnosed with neuroblastoma, a rare form of childhood cancer, in 2011 and underwent months of treatment including a major operation.
His condition was declared terminal last March, but The Whartons Primary School pupil spent the next year cramming fun-packed and creative experiences in regardless.
Harry lost his fight last Tuesday while holding his mother, Sarah's hand with his father, Paul, and younger brother, Callum, close by.
Harry's funeral will be held at All Saints Parish Church, in Otley, today, Thursday, April 17 at 1pm.
Sarah, in the blog the family have been running since Harry was diagnosed, wrote: "We told him how brave he had been and what an amazing son he had been, but told him the time had come for him to fly high up into the sky and leave his body that didn't work anymore.
"We told him it was time for him to find that special place where he will get a new body and where he can run as fast as he can."
She added: "Forever 6 Harry my beautiful boy, now you are no longer in pain. Fly high.
"We love you to the stars and back and a zillion times round the world, always and forever."
Paying tribute to her son's inspiring fighting spirit, she said he reminded her "of the knight from the film Monty Python and The Holy Grail, the one that had his arms and legs cut off but was still determined to fight and not give up."
The Buckleys, including four- year old Callum, organised a series of fun days for Harry to make sure he had some great times and they could all build some precious memories.
Now Sarah is hoping the book Harry wrote during his final months will ensure his memory lives on, while raising money for a cause very close to his heart.
Proceeds from Runaway Joey! will go to Nuzzlets farm, which takes animals into Martin House Children's Hospice for the children to hold and stroke.
The book costs £5 and can be bought at uk.virginmoneygiving.

Today's funeral service will be followed by a private cremation at Harrogate, with the family releasing balloons in Harry's memory at High Royds Social Club, Menston, at 3pm.

They were all there this morning. Leonardo DiCaprio, Christoph Waltz, Quentin Tarantino, Jamie Foxx, Kerry Washington, Walton Goggins, Samuel L. Jackson, Don Johnson and even Jonah Hill, who only has a brief cameo in the film. The eclectic, A-list cast of Tarantino's "Django Unchained" all made it out for the press day which is impressive considering at some press days it's even difficult to get the star to appear (see Tom Cruise's latest). "I've always wanted to deal with America's horrific past with slavery. But I didn't want to do a straight historical movie with a capital H. I wanted to wrap it up in genre," Tarantino explained this a.m. about why he wanted to deal with the brutal and horrific subject matter of his latest film. "So many movies that take place in slavery times bend over backwards to avoid [the subject matter itself]. It's kind of everybody's fault in America. Nobody wants to stare at it. In the story of different types of slave narratives in America, there's a whole bunch of stories -- I wanted to be the first one out of the gate with it."
Bloody, comical and in your face, Tarantino certainly does fly out of the gate with his almost three-hour-long slavery drama-cum-Spaghetti Western epic (you can read our divisive and not-all-on-the-same page reviews here). Here are some highlights from the "Django Unchained" press day in New York, including some details about a longer cut that might please QT completists.
"I'm not exactly sure [when I might]," Tarantino said. "I'm going to wait until the film goes around the world, does what it does. And then I'm going to make a decision. I make these scripts that are almost novels. If I had to do this whole thing over again I would have published this as a novel and done this after the fact. Maybe next time. I could do what Kevin Costner did with the expanded edition of 'Dances with Wolves,' and I could very well do that. Because if I put some of that in I have to change the story. But I want this version to be the story for a while."
What does he mean about "change the story" exactly? That's unclear, but it is a interesting tease.
Leonard DiCaprio says the hateful way he had to treat some of the characters in the film was disturbing to him and he had his initial reservations.
"This was my first attempt at playing a character that I had this much disdain for. It was an incredibly uncomfortable environment to be in," DiCaprio admitted. "I've seen racism growing up but the degree I had to treat other people in this film was disturbing. It was a very uncomfortable situation."
"One of the pivotal moments for me and this character, was this initial readthrough, and I brought up, 'Do we need to push it this far? Does it need to be this violent?'" DiCaprio recalled. "And [the actors and Quentin] said, 'If you sugar-coat this people are going to resent the hell out of you.' By holding the character back you're going to do an injustice to the film. That was the thing that ignited me into going where I did with the character. Once I did even more research, read about the sugar plantations, we're just scratching the surface. It's a subject matter that should be looked at more often. I commend Quentin for combining so many different genres and making the subject matter entertaining for an audience. At the core of it what was great was a group of actors who were all there for one another to support and drive each other. Honestly it felt like we were cheerleaders for each other."
Quentin Tarantino sought out Sidney Poitier for advice to ask him if he was going too far with some of the racist elements in the script.
"I made sure that if anybody was uncomfortable I made sure we talked about it beforehand. And I mean before I hired them," Tarantino said. "There was only one thing that I felt uncomfortable about. Not shooting but upon finishing the script – it's one thing to write 'Exterior Greenvile, a hundred slaves walk through deep shit mud wearing masks and metal collars and it's this black Auschwitz.' It's another thing to get 100 black folks, put them in chains, and march them through the mud. I started questioning – 'could I do it'?" I don't think I've ever thought that about anything – can I be the reason that that is even happening. I came up with an idea of just shooting those scenes alone in the west Indies and Brazil. They have their own issues with slavery but my problem was having Americans do it. I wanted to escape it."
"I went out to dinner with Sidney Poitier and I was explaining my hairbrain scene and escaping and he listened to me and told me that I had to man up. He goes, 'Quentin, for whatever reason I think you were born to tell this story. You can't be afraid of your own movie. You just need to do it. Everybody knows what time it is. Just treat them with love and respect, treat them like actors not atmosphere, what we're doing and what we're trying to get across. You're going to do this in the South. Those people need jobs.' There were a lot of guys, 'Oh man I was a slave in 'Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter'…"

Tarrentino's '90's Show' doper 'decadence' is, somehow,
even STALER than Oliver CAP--Stone's '80's Show' doper
decadence. -----Quite a feat.
TheoC | December 17, 2012 6:15 AM
Do we know if it was Mr.Sidney Poitier or his hot daughter from Veronica Mars / Death Proof? Because that makes his statement a whole lot funnier.
jukiut | December 17, 2012 5:23 AM
yes, please!
Dana | December 16, 2012 11:40 PM
Tarantino needs to keep his clam shut. He always talks about things like this, but they never actually come to pass.

When Basterds came out, he said he doesn't do extended cuts because the theatrical cut IS his directors cut. Interesting...
Justin W | December 16, 2012 2:22 PM
Wow, that's interesting that he consulted Sidney Poitier about the script.

George Farmer wants to be a WR, again
LOS ANGELES -- USC receiver-turned-running back George Farmer has not particularly enjoyed his time at running back, evidently.
The freshman phenom who found some fleeting success upon his move to running back last month has come to the conclusion that he's better suited to his previous position, where he played growing up and in high school at Gardena Serra.
"I would like to move back to wide receiver," Farmer said Wednesday. "Obviously I am still more comfortable playing that position.
"But my plan is to play this season out and then re-evaluate my situation with the coaching staff going into spring ball."
Told of his comments, USC coach Lane Kiffin said he wouldn't be moving back to receiver immediately but did allow for some possibility of a long-term switch.

Farmer totaled seven catches in the two games he played in October before going down with an ankle injury, breaking off two plays for 10-plus yard gains. But he hasn't played since the Notre Dame game, and Kiffin had said earlier this week he'd be a game-time decision for Saturday's game against Washington.
Kiffin also said Wednesday that he didn't regret taking the redshirt off Farmer midway through the season, despite the limitations of games he'd be able to play in and the potential of injury.
"Not at all," Kiffin said. "A month ago, we saw once he got comfortable and once he got healthy what he could be. And really as we looked at it, I just don't think that five years from now he'd be here anyway.
"To redshirt him, thinking he would have four years of eligibility after this year and he'd be here in that fifth year probably wouldn't have happened. So, no I don't regret it, and even though his stats weren't big he's made some big plays for us on special teams and he'll help us out here in these last three weeks too. And he'll be better off for it next year, too, having the experience."
Farmer, who practiced Wednesday, said he felt lucky to get back on the field this season. At one point, he thought he might not.
"When I first went down, I kind of heard a couple of pops. I was like, 'I hope it's nothing bad,'" he said. "But it was just a high ankle sprain, and I'm glad to be back out here as quick as I am."
He said he's "90 or 95" percent healed and expects to play against the Huskies.

Fashion Gets Real: A Style Blogger Roundup
By Roxanna Sarmiento on July 16, 2010
BlogHer Original Post
I love looking inside other people's closets, don't you?
That's not quite right -- let me rephrase that: I love seeing how other people wear the clothes in their closets. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the gorgeous stylized images in magazines and ads -- in fact, I don't mind these images as much as others do. But I'll choose seeing a real person wearing clothes out in the world over seeing a model who was dressed by a professional stylist every time.
I know I'm not alone in this.
Earlier this month, Ann Taylor LOFT struck PR and social media gold by acting on a customer's request on Facebook asking for an example of "real models" wearing a particular pair of pants.
Hey, got the email about the "new favorite pant", the drapey silk cargo. Can you show how to style these for different body types (using real models, or fan pictures if possible). I have my doubts that these will look flattering on anyone other than the model!
To the delight of their Facebook fans (and social media types), Ann Taylor responded the very next day with a picture gallery of employees of different shapes, sizes and styles wearing the "new favorite pant." No, the pictures didn't convert the doubters, but people were very grateful for the opportunity to see the pants on real people. Just read the enthusiastic response on their facebook page.
I believe that this "voyeuristic shopping" is only one reason why personal style blogs are so popular. Like on any good blog mostly we enjoy getting to know the writer -- in this case we mainly get to know the blogger by how they choose to dress themselves. After all, we all tell the world something about ourselves by the way we dress, but personal style bloggers are doing it in a very direct and thoughtful way.
And that's why I love them.
I also love the diversity of personal style blogs: Some bloggers tell us the back story on each outfit, while others let the pictures speak for themselves. Some bloggers dress in high-end clothing, while others do magic with thrift-store finds. And of course, personal style blogs give us a glimpse of a different life style: How does a Spanish girl dress? What would a poor graduate student wear on a date? But one thing they all have in common is that these bloggers have developed a strong sense of personal style and serve as an inpiration to us all. If these women can do it, we can all have more fun dressing, everyday.
Here is a sampling of some of my favorites. What are yours?
WHAT I WORE - Jessica Schroeder lives in NYC and gives us charming glimpses into her life by telling us the back story behind each outfit. She left her job as a fashion designer to run her blog, and now she's writing a book! Go Jessica!
DISTINCTLY DESIREE - Desiree is 20 years old and actually looks cute in a romper, unlike me. She is a crafter and a frugal shopper, and sometimes reworks clothes to make them her own.
CUPCAKES AND CASHMERE I check out Emily Schuman's blog when I need a little vacation from my life in Boston. I love her breezy California style. She shares yummy recipes and home improvement tips on her blog as well.
NO NAME COUTURE - Aix lives in Cluj-Napoca, Romania -- and we agree on this: "After a week full of jeans and flats, I always want to dress up in the weekend, just because I can and sometimes I like being overdressed." Preach it, sister.
THE CHERRY BLOSSOM GIRL - Alix is a recent fashion school graduate and french. Her blog is filled with gorgeous photos of her and her friends. I love the cozy, friendly feel of the photography on this blog.
LOOKS GOOD FROM THE BACK Marianne and Adrien have an honest-to-goodness fashion blog on their hands -- even if they occasionally poke good-natured fun at the genre. Here is Adrien doing the "Elaine" during their inagural Silly Fashion Blogger Pose Week. Sure, they're stylish but they're also funny. I hereby declare them a must-read!
KENDI EVERYDAY Kendi got married, moved to a small town and had a blog. She's that sweet fashionable friend we all want to have. I love how she writes on the photos to tell us what we really want to know --"where did she get that?"
THE CLOTHES HORSE Rebecca's look is slightly retro but very wearable -- I love the dream-like quality of her photos. And that hair!
WHAT WOULD A NERD WEAR Tania is "a grad student in British literature at a big school in the Midwest, which brings myriad sartorial challenges like hot summers, freezing winters, and dressing authoritatively as both teacher and student." In my opinion, she's figured it out.
KRAMEY MARTIN I love her posts from the Anthropologie dressing room; I can see what the clothes look like for real without setting foot in a store. It makes online shopping infinitely easier.
GIRL FRIDAY Stephanie's style is a mix of tough and sweet. Her blog is a mix of personal style posts, inspiration from the net and her own poetry.
Do you love style/fashion blogs? Are you going to Blogher? Then you're in luck! This year there will be a session on Fashion Blogging -- I plan on attending, how about you?

Appendix B Recommendations for the Investigation of Contacts of Persons with Infectious Tuberculosis (TB)
Decision to Initiate a Contact Investigation
- The features of the TB case under investigation inform decisions about whether to perform a contact investigation (see Figure 1). An investigation (i.e., seeking and evaluating contacts) is recommended for the following forms of suspected or confirmed TB because they are likely to be infectious: pulmonary, laryngeal, or pleural TB disease with 1) pulmonary cavities, 2) respiratory specimens that have acid-fast bacilli (AFB) on microscopy, or 3) both.
- As time and resources permit and as recommended investigations are completed successfully, other pulmonary TB cases may be investigated if they are confirmed by culture of respiratory secretions.
- Pulmonary TB cases without positive mycobacteriology results should not be investigated unless circumstances indicate otherwise (e.g., if mycobacteriologic results are absent because of an error or if a priori information raises suspicion that contacts have been infected).
- The only forms of purely extrapulmonary TB (i.e., cases without pulmonary disease) that should be investigated are laryngeal or pleural disease. For other forms, source-case investigations can be considered under special circumstances (see Source-Case Investigations).
Investigating the Index Patient and Sites of Transmission
- Written policies and procedures for these tasks improve uniformity and efficiency.
- Tasks should be assigned to trained and experienced public health workers.
- Interviews should be in the index patient's primary language and be conducted by persons fluent in that language or in conjunction with fluent interpreters.
- The index patient should be interviewed in person (i.e., not by telephone) <1 business day after notification for cases indicating infectiousness and <3 business days for others. For patients who have died or who are inaccessible, alternative sources of information regarding contacts should be sought.
- The place of residence for the index patient should be visited <3 business days of initiating the contact investigation.
- All potential settings for transmission should be visited <5 working days of initiating the contact investigation.
- The contact list and priority assignments (see Assigning Priorities to Contacts) should be written into an investigative plan.
- Information regarding the index patient should be reassessed at least weekly until drug-susceptibility results are available for the Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolate, for 2 months after notification, or until infectiousness has diminished, whichever is longer.
- At 1--2 weeks after the first interview, the index patient should be interviewed again as necessary for clarification and additional information.
Assigning Priorities to Contacts
- Priorities for ranking contacts for investigation are set on the basis of the characteristics of the index patient, the duration and circumstances of exposure, and the vulnerability or susceptibility of the contact to disease progression from M. tuberculosis infection.
- The optimal exposure cut-off durations for assigning priorities to contacts have not been determined because available data lack this level of precision. The National Tuberculosis Controllers Association work group did not reach consensus on cut-off durations. On the basis of local experience and adjusting for resource limitations, public health officials should set local standards for the durations of exposure that define high, medium, and low priority.
Diagnostic and Public Health Evaluation of Contacts
- Health departments are responsible for ensuring that TB contacts are medically evaluated and treated.
- Communicable disease regulations or laws in certain jurisdictions apply to contacts who are not responsive to requests to be examined. The least restrictive means should be applied first.
- Each high- and medium-priority contact should be assessed initially <3 working days after being listed.
- Each high- and medium-priority contact should be evaluated medically to determine whether TB disease and latent infection with M. tuberculosis are present or absent.
- The same diagnostic methods are recommended for all contacts except when they have medical or constitutional conditions making TB more likely or more difficult to diagnose. A contact's country of origin and Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccination status are not included in algorithms for diagnosis or treatment.
Voluntary HIV Counseling, Testing, and Referral
- Inform all contacts that HIV infection is the greatest known risk factor for TB disease progressing from M. tuberculosis infection, and ask whether they have been tested for HIV infection.
- Offer voluntary HIV counseling, testing, and referral to TB contacts who do not know their HIV infection status. Collaboration with HIV-AIDS programs is recommended for establishing systems that are convenient and flexible for patients.
- Voluntary HIV counseling, testing, and referral are recommended for contacts of HIV-infected infectious TB patients.
Tuberculin Skin Testing
- A tuberculin skin test (TST) is recommended for all contacts who do not have a documented prior positive test result or documented prior TB disease. The skin test can be administered at the time of the initial assessment. High-priority contacts should receive a test <7 days after they are listed, and medium-priority contacts <14 days.
- A two-step TST as defined for infection control surveillance is not recommended for contact investigations.
Evaluation of Children Aged <5 Years
- Contacts aged <5 years exposed to an infectious index patient are assigned a high priority.
- Contacts aged <5 years should be medically examined and have a chest radiograph regardless of the result of the current or prior skin tests or history of prior TB disease.
Evaluation of HIV-infected or Other Immunocompromised Contacts
- HIV-infected or other immunocompromised contacts are high-priority contacts.
- In addition to a medical history, examination, and a TST, a chest radiograph is recommended for all these contacts. Sputum collection for AFB microscopy and culture is recommended if the contact has symptoms consistent with TB disease or if the chest radiograph has abnormalities that could be caused by TB.
Any Contacts Being Evaluated
- Contacts who have a positive TST result (>5 mm) should be medically examined, including a chest radiograph, to rule out TB disease. Contacts who have symptoms consistent with TB also should be medically evaluated, including a chest radiograph, to rule out TB, regardless of the results of the skin test, history of a prior positive result, or history of prior TB disease.
- During the infectious period, those high- and medium-priority contacts who have a negative skin test result <8 weeks after their most recent exposure should have a second skin test 8--10 weeks after that exposure.
- For low-priority contacts, the initial skin test may be delayed until 8--10 weeks after the most recent exposure if the contact does not have symptoms suggestive of TB disease. If the test is administered <8 weeks after the most recent exposure, the decision to give a second, postexposure skin test can be made on a case-by-case basis.
Treatment for Contacts with M. tuberculosis Infection
- Treating contacts who have latent M. tuberculosis infection through completion is a health department responsibility to prevent communicable diseases.
- High- and medium-priority contacts with positive TSTs who come from countries with prevalent TB should be treated, regardless of whether they have had routine BCG vaccination.
- Treatment for latent infection should be offered to all contacts who have a positive tuberculin skin test result, after active TB is excluded. The emphasis of the program should be on completing treatment in high- and medium-priority contacts.
- Window-period prophylaxis (see Diagnostic and Public Health Evaluation of Contacts) is recommended as an option for contacts aged <5 years who have a negative skin test result <8 weeks after the end of exposure, after TB disease has been excluded. If a second skin test result 8--10 weeks after the end of exposure is negative, treatment can be stopped.
- A full course of treatment for presumptive M. tuberculosis infection is recommended for HIV-infected or otherwise notably immune-suppressed contacts, after TB disease has been excluded, even if skin test results are negative >8 weeks after the end of exposure.
- The decision to treat contacts who have documentation of a previous positive skin test result or TB disease should be made on an individual basis. Treatment is recommended for HIV-infected contacts in this category, even if infection has been treated previously.
- Rifampin treatment is recommended for contacts who, after TB disease has been excluded, have infection presumed to be isoniazid (INH)-resistant, rifampin-susceptible M. tuberculosis after exposure to an index patient with such an isolate.
- Expert consultation is recommended for selecting treatment for a latent infection with presumed INH- and rifampin-resistant M. tuberculosis. Contacts with such an infection should be monitored with periodic examination for at least 2 years.
- Directly observed therapy (DOT) for latent infection is preferred over self supervised. DOT preference should be
assigned to these groups, in this general order:
--- confirmed or suspected TB disease;
--- latent M. tuberculosis infection in contacts aged <5 years;
--- latent M. tuberculosis infection in contacts who have HIV infection or other conditions that limit immune response to TB;
--- latent M. tuberculosis infection in contacts with documented change in tuberculin sensitivity, from a negative to a positive result; and
--- latent M. tuberculosis infection in contacts who might not complete treatment because of social or behavioral impediments (e.g., alcohol addiction, chronic mental illness, injection-drug use, unstable housing, unemployment).
- Monitoring for adherence and adverse effects by home visits, pill counts, or clinic appointments monthly or more often is recommended for contacts on self-administered treatment.
- Use of enablers and incentives and establishment of a positive rapport with contacts who are taking treatment are recommended for enhancing adherence.
When to Expand a Contact Investigation
- Inclusion of lower-priority contacts generally is not recommended unless objectives for high- and medium-priority contacts are being met.
- Consider expanding the scope (i.e., number of contacts) of an investigation if any one or more of the following criteria exist:
--- unexpectedly large rate of infection or TB disease in high-priority contacts,
--- evidence of second-generation transmission,
--- TB disease in any contacts who had been assigned low priority,
--- infection in any contacts aged <5 years, and
--- contacts with change in skin test status from negative to positive.
- After reviewing the results from the investigation to date (i.e., for high- and medium-priority contacts), select the additional contacts by extrapolating the risks for infection as shown by the data.
- When results from an investigation indicate that it should be expanded, but resources are insufficient, seeking assistance from the next higher public-health administrative level is recommended.
Communicating Through the Media
- Anticipatory media communication (e.g., with a press release) for large or highly visible TB contact investigations is recommended to capitalize on the opportunity for constructive public communications.
- Coordination of media communications, both within the health department and with collaborating partners outside the health department, improves the clarity and consistency of media messages.
- For efficiency, use of media message templates for contact investigations is recommended.
Data Management and Evaluation of Contact Investigations
- Collection of specific data elements on index patients and their contacts is recommended. The data elements should permit calculation of program performance indices.
- Data should be collected on standardized (paper or electronic) forms.
- Data definitions and formats for use by persons who collect, use, and interpret contact investigation data are recommended.
- Whenever feasible, data definitions and formats should be standard among jurisdictions.
- Electronic data storage is recommended for quick analysis of interim results.
- Policies for data management and storage are recommended, with assignment of responsibilities.
- Training and policies for data accuracy, completeness, and security are recommended. Part of a staff-person's time should be dedicated to reviewing and monitoring contact investigation data.
- Periodic summarization and review of data are recommended during a particular contact investigation and overall.
- Program evaluation for contact investigation activities, at least annually, is recommended. It is an integral part of TB program responsibility.
- Beyond standard data elements shown in these guidelines, specific additional elements can contribute to local program management.
Confidentiality and Consent in Contact Investigations
- Specific policies for release of confidential information related to contact investigations are recommended. These policies should be consistent with the Privacy Rule of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) and Sections 306 and 308(d) of the Public Health Service Act and be developed in consultation from health department legal counsel. These policies typically include instructions for obtaining consents and for breaking confidentiality when required for public health as authorized by laws.
- Patient confidentiality is a core element integrated with all activities in contact investigations, and training in its laws and practice is recommended for all personnel who participate.
- Discussion with the index patient and contacts regarding their confidentiality beliefs and concerns is recommended. TB control program staff should explain to the index patient the measures that will be taken to maintain confidentiality.
- Preparations for protecting confidentiality are recommended for each site visit during an investigation. Anticipatory discussions with any patients who might be affected contribute to the preparations.
- Confidentiality applies to all private information and medical conditions in addition to TB.
Staffing and Training for Contact Investigations
- Certain functions in contact investigations require state licensure. Delineation of these functions is recommended for preparing personnel position descriptions.
- Specialized functions and related skills are needed during contact investigations; they might be provided by sources outside of the health department (Box 3).
- Preparatory training and detailed on-the-job supervision as each function is encountered by new health department personnel establish the basis for expertise.
- Direct observation by experienced personnel and opportunities for practicing skills are essential when any personnel assume new functions for contact investigations.
- Clerical personnel, receptionists, and managers who help with contact investigations need to understand the overall purpose and methods of contact investigations.
- When sources outside the health department serve essential functions in a contact investigation, the health department is responsible for assessing whether the skills are sufficient and offering training so that the functions are met correctly.
Contact Investigations in Special Circumstances
- A cluster of TB cases (i.e., a presumed outbreak) indicates potential lapses in TB control which should be investigated along with the outbreak. Assistance should be requested if the scope of the investigation exceeds local capacity or disrupts key activities of TB control.
- When secondary TB cases are discovered unexpectedly (e.g., outside of a contact investigation), this indicates a potential outbreak. Review of the investigative strategy is recommended.
- When contact investigations include congregate settings, officials or administrators at the setting should be enlisted as collaborators. Access to employee and occupancy rosters should be sought. Sensitivities and needs of the setting and its populace should be accommodated to the extent permitted by good public health practice.
- When few contacts are listed because information cannot be obtained from an index TB patient, alternative or proxy methods, such as interviews in the extended social network, are recommended.
- Contact investigations for multidrug-resistant TB do not require a change in procedures, but the reasons for the drug resistance should be explored.
- Interjurisdictional contact investigations should be planned collaboratively from the inception. Assistance in coordinating such investigation should be sought from the next higher public-health administrative level.
- Unusual exposures to M. tuberculosis-complex, such as laboratory accidents or tuberculous animals, should be investigated on site, and contacts should be selected in accordance with the event, in consultation with subject-matter experts.
Source-Case Investigations
- Source-case investigations are not recommended unless investigations of infectious cases have been successfully completed and program objectives for investigating contagious patients and treating their infected contacts are being met.
- Source-case investigations, if conducted, are recommended for TB disease in children aged <5 years.
- Data on source-case investigations should be reviewed for determining the value of these investigations in the local context.
- Searching for a source of unexplained latent M. tuberculosis infection is not recommended, and if conducted, should be reserved for infected children aged <2 years.
Other Topics
Cultural Competency
- Systems for providing culturally and linguistically acceptable care during contact investigations are recommended.
- Training in cultural and linguistic sensitivity is recommended for personnel who conduct contact investigations.
Social Network Analysis
- The methods of social network analysis are recommended for further research. However, certain concepts (e.g., setting-based investigations) are also applicable to current efforts.

Burgers seared over an open flame, then doused in house-made pepper sauce. Po boys constructed from white hoagies and neatly sliced turkey and ham. These handheld meals characterize the offerings at Uncle Bo's Hamburgers & Deli, where both cold and hot sandwiches stack all-natural ingredients between chewy bread.
A full one-third pound of meat beefs up each grilled burger, served with fries and available with toppings such as bacon, blue cheese, and chili. Deli sandwiches range from hearty reubens on rye to lighter turkey wraps with sprouts and tomatoes, as well as offerings that set sail on wheat bread or tucked inside of croissants. House-made soups warm bellies to prevent locals from walking around with hot potatoes in their sweatshirts' front pockets, although the eatery also slings spuds loaded with bacon, cheeses, and broccoli.
The family that owns and runs Me and My House consignment shop lines the shelves with an ample array of home furnishings, from small trinkets up to large furniture pieces. While gently used upscale furniture is the star of the showroom, shoppers will also find plenty of baubles and trinkets with which to festoon both body and home. These items include jewelry and clothing for adults, toys and sporting goods for children and teenagers, and dishes and hardware for around the home.
It's a good thing James Bryant's parents didn't pay him more allowance. At 10, he found his $10 weekly payday unacceptable, so he started knocking on neighbors' doors to see if they'd like him to mow their lawns. The business grew as he did, and, by the time he finished high school, he felt certain that landscaping was his true passion. Since officially founding Bryant Lawn and Sprinkler in 1995, James has continued to find fulfillment in creating natural works of art out of previously lackluster yards and gardens. He and his team do this by planting flowers, mulching gardens and installing eco-conscious sprinkler systems. They also design yard lighting so that, at night, freshly pruned shrubs stand out and moths can use shadow puppets to tell their brief life stories.
Cofounded by dancing legend Fred Astaire to train new generations of rug cutters with his signature easy grace, Fred Astaire Dance Studio uses a unique curriculum to create comfort on the dance floor. Instructors start with steps and rhythms common to most social dances, steadily building toward more specialized combinations of moves for a variety of rhythm-dance styles such as cha-cha and samba and smooth-dance styles such as the foxtrot and waltz. Once they've learned to follow, lead, or just pare down unnecessary finger-snaps, students can take to the purple-walled dance floor to practice their steps and try on new partners at social parties.

UIL Moving State Thump-Thump Tourney?
In recent years, the UIL has moved some state championships out of Austin. Baseball now plays up in Round Rock, while foosball has been contested in Jerry's Death Star in Arlington.
If they were to relocate the basketball tournament, the UIL has listed four (4) possible sites:
a) American Airlines Center in Dallas,
b) Toyota Center in Houston,
c) Alamodome in San Antonio, and
d) AT&T Center in San Antonio.
More here.
|(via TSC)
For those who'd like the UIL to consider moving the state swimming championships, what venues would you suggest that could handle the event?
Besides being a "fast" pool:
Facility must handle swimming/diving simultaneously.
Warm-up/Warm-down during meet is a must for swimmers.
Would need ample deck seating for athletes.
Fan seating in the bazillions would be needed for the crowds.
Cheap (free?) and plentiful parking sure would be nice.
Competition course would need to be regulation length.
Finally, the coaches/officials hospitality room would have to be top-notch...

Lamberto Zannier: Why We Need the OSCE
Lamberto Zannier, the new Secretary-General of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) told an IPI audience on September 23rd that one of the questions he has been asked since assuming his post on July 1st was why the OSCE was needed when Europe already has the European Union and NATO.
He said he told people that the need was "quite visible. The EU is a group of countries that do share a very strong political agenda, a very strong integration agenda that come together and that want to move in the same direction. NATO, in a similar way, brings together countries that share a vision and an agenda at the defense level."
"But the OSCE is broader than all that," he explained. "In the OSCE, you have countries that have different political priorities, different security or defense agendas. It is a larger framework within which countries in fact, with different objectives and different agendas confront each other and try to solve their problems by using this agreed set of principles, norms and commitments."
He added that the 56-state group, with countries from Europe, Central Asia and North America, was looking to extend its influence beyond the borders of the OSCE region.
And while its focus was on interaction between the various actors in the region and with external partners, he said the organization is also concerned with "the security of the individuals, at the dignity of the individual and their fundamental freedom. Working with individuals improves security within countries and more broadly," he said.
Moderating the discussion was IPI Senior Adviser Warren Hoge.

Judge sends actress Lindsay Lohan to jail for probation violation
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) -- A judge sentenced Lindsay Lohan on Tuesday to 90 days in jail and an inpatient rehab program after finding the actress had violated her probation in a 2007 drug case by failing to attend alcohol education classes.
The actress burst into tears after the ruling.
Superior Court Judge Marsha Revel issued the sentence after listening to testimony from employees of an alcohol treatment program that Lohan had been ordered to attend.

ODESSA - A man accused of opening fire in the Music City Mall parking lot two years ago has been found not guilty.
24-year-old Baushlyon Richardson was found not guilty on Friday on all charges in connection with the shooting.
Richardson was facing charges of first degree murder and aggravated assault.
Back in 2012, Odessa Police were called out to a fight at the Ten Sports Bar and Grill and shots rang out before they arrived.
A total of three people were injured, including 23-year-old Pablo Jimenez, who later died at the hospital.

Environment: Apparently President Obama will announce yet another set of policies next month aimed at mitigating global warming. But why? The enemy he promises to fight simply doesn't exist.
News reports say that Obama will lay out his plans in July. The speculation is that his Environmental Protection Agency will issue, according to Bloomberg News, final rules that will "limit greenhouse-gas emissions from new power plants."
Politico quotes "top White House climate aide Heather Zichal" outlining four areas that "don't require any new laws or any new technologies."
It also reports that Zichal has said the administration will be "using the tools of the Clean Air Act to advance a broader climate agenda."
Politico expects, as well, that Obama will pursue "improved energy efficiency for homes and businesses, more investments by the Interior Department and other agencies to invest in clean energy research and production, and a phaseout of fossil fuel subsidies."
It isn't clear if a rejection on the Keystone pipeline will be a part of the package, though the pipeline still seems to be the green lobby's biggest bogeyman.
Whatever happens, though, is nothing more than political theater. It's about ensuring votes from the left, paying off support from that side and digging at the foundations of economic growth.
And for what? There's no global warming dragon to slay. It has been as much a myth as any fire-breathing lizard from a children's book.
A world that was supposed to be sick with a human-induced fever has gone 17 years and four months without any statistically significant warming.
As noted skeptic Christopher Monckton wrote last week on the wattsupwiththat blog, "There has been no global warming statistically distinguishable from zero for getting on for two decades."
We have also pointed out on these pages that ice-melt and sea-level-increase projections have been exaggerated; that the climate isn't as sensitive to carbon dioxide emissions as the alarmists have argued; and that sea ice in the Arctic and Antarctic have been growing, not receding.
So what is Obama going to fight, besides prosperity, industry,capitalism and Republicans?
Actually, he sees those as his real enemies. Don't be fooled: global warming is merely a proxy for them.
Immigration: The Obama administration has quietly released 37,477 illegal immigrant minors into the U.S. and deported a mere 280. So much for its warning to border jumpers that if they came here illegally, they'd be deported.Much of the debate on the unprecedented border surge from Central America ...
Media Activism: Desperate to frame the shooting death of Michael Brown in racial terms, CNN has bitten hard on what appears to be faked evidence. The network did the same thing during the Trayvon Martin case.A sketchy audiotape CNN breathlessly claimed could be a game changer in the shooting turns ...
Power: This lawless administration plans to bypass the two-thirds requirement for Senate ratification on a climate change treaty by entering into a "politically binding" hybrid agreement to "name and shame" climate scofflaws.Apparently letting the Environmental Protection Agency run amok with ...
Islamic State: So President Obama says, "We don't have a strategy yet" against the Iraq-Syria caliphate. Hillary Clinton was wrong about that 3 a.m. phone call; the problem is the 3 p.m. White House phone calls.'There's a phone in the White House, and it's ringing," Clinton's prescient 2008 ...

HI i just intall autocad lt 2013 and everytime i poen the program it gives me the "unhandled exception error C0000005 (Access Violation Reading 0x0144) at adress 60c6f5bfh" now i already uninstall all the other autodesk programs and reinstall this one for second time now and i still get the same error. i try the repair but it still doesnt work; if i try to "save as" the program stops working. i can save but i dont know where is sending the file and it also stops working if i try to close it.
thank you
Restore the Computer to several days ago and prior to the first install.
Follw this advice from Autodesk to see if there are any stragglers in the Registry:
Autodesk Recommended Clean Install Procedure:
Try the install again.
I have similar problem, and I've clear installed my software (AutoCAD LT 2012) and problem still exist. What shall I do now?
You try to install ACAD LT 2012 32 bits or 64 bits ?
On which Windows exactly ?
Before, have you some others Autodesk software running OK ?
If YES, which one ?
Bye, Pat
You may want to get into removing and reinstalling the current .NET that is on your system as well.
REVO UNINSTALLER The free version on its most aggressive setting will get rid of all files.
Use this as the uninstall instead of Windows.
Then reinstall the AutoCAD after you have done the previous suggestions to this program as well
Remember to back up your customizations first.

Northside Hospital to hold annual Christmas tree lighting on Dec. 6
Northside Hospitals 25th annual Christmas tree lighting will include entertainment and activities for the community
November 13, 2013
CUMMING, Ga. — For the 25th year, Northside Hospital will honor those affected by cancer with the lighting of giant Christmas trees atop its campuses in Atlanta, Alpharetta and Cumming.
All three trees will be lit on a new night — Friday, Dec. 6 — with a free community celebration from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Northside Hospital-Forsyth, 1200 Northside Forsyth Drive in Cumming.
This year, the event will include entertainment from the Sawnee Ballet, Born to Dance, Forsyth Central High School and Haw Creek, Findley Oaks and Coal Mountain elementary schools.
Activities will be available for kids, including photos with Santa Claus.
Once again, WSB-TV anchor Fred Blankenship will serve as the event's emcee. The celebration is free to attend with no RSVP necessary.
"It's hard to believe that it's been 25 years," said Lynn Jackson, administrator for Northside Hospital-Forsyth. "We are so grateful to our staff, patients and the community for making Celebration of Lights such an honored holiday tradition over the years."
Since 1989, Celebration of Lights has raised more than $520,000 for the Northside Hospital Cancer Institute. Each light on the three Christmas trees (nearly 200,000 lights in total) represents someone whose life has been touched by cancer.
Lights can be purchased and designated in honor or memory of family, friends and physicians. Lights will be available for purchase at the Celebration of Lights event on Dec. 6 and throughout the holiday season. All gifts are tax-deductible.
For more information about Celebration of Lights or to make a secure donation, visit give.northside.com/lights.
To have a donation form sent to you, call 770-667- 4483 or email email@example.com.

Now you either believe in Freedom Of Religion or you don't. And by and large I believe, Catholics DON'T.
Now this country was founded BY PROTESTANTS, and as a church-going Protestant, I believe it was a HUGE mistake to allow Catholics into this country in the first place, and we should have done everything in our power to stop it in the first place. But that boat has already sailed.
But as Catholics are already here, and have been here unfortunately for a very long time, they should learn what Freedom Of Religion means. ONE thing it means is NOT imposing Roman Catholic theology, thru civil law, on people who FREELY CHOOSE NOT to be Roman Catholics !
I'm extremely anti-Catholic and DAMN PROUD of it !
(On a personal note, me and my siblings were born and raised Protestant. My younger sister converted to Roman Catholicism 10 years ago. I haven't spoken to her since, and never shall.)
