New Jersey-born DJ and producer Todd Edwards helped to pioneer the unmistakable early garage sounds that filtered through Europe and eventually exploded as UK garage in the early '90s. Ahead of playing a London warehouse party this Friday, we caught up with Edwards to talk dance roots, remixes and Enya.
How did you first get into garage?
Todd Edwards: From the age of 18 I started listening to house music. My friend Rich Criso introduced me to the works of Todd Terry, Frankie Bones and other house music producers. I then started listening to the weekend late night house shows on the radio, and would record them on cassettes. I still have the cassettes. For the next two years I would walk around with headphones on, and listen to nothing else but those cassettes. That was my starting place.
How would you say garage has changed between its early U.S. incarnation and the current U.K. garage scene?
Does US garage exist? I hear a lot of club music coming out of the States, but I don't hear anything that resembles what I listened to when I was 18. US club music, from what I've listened to, has mostly left the shuffling beats, and the rough underground sampling behind, and has taken up with synths with a lot of effects.
How did you develop the vocal sampling/chopping technique you're now known for?
There are two people that can take credit for my cut-up style. MK (Mark Kinchen) and Enya. MK took vocals, cut them up, and made very catchy hooks that sounded like they were singing something, but you couldn't tell what the words were. I was drawn to that sound and attempted to imitate it. Then, I listened to Enya and loved the way she used her vocals as part of the instrumentation. To add to that, the lead vocal was always blended into the music so well that it almost didn't seem like a lead vocal. I never heard anything like it. I decided to combine the two ideas and use vocals as the instruments in my tracks instead of using the limited access of real-sounding instruments I had at the time. I slowly developed the sound I had.
Which of your own are you most proud of, and why?
I get asked that question a lot. Today I would like to say that I feel really good about my album Odyssey. It wasn't as rough or shuffling as my past work. It was polished and a little more pop-based. However, it was genuine in the songwriting, and was my full heart, soul and experience. It became semi-auto biographical, and the album is a journey through happiness and depression and the relationship to the divine.
Is there something that draws you to a track to remix it?
Yes, there is… The e-mail that requests a remix from me and offers to pay me for it!
What have you got coming up in the near future?
I'm working on a new album. I'm focusing more on my vocals. I'm very thankful to have Scion A/V backing this album. As I've said before, I owe them as well as my manager Alexis Rivera for the new life and direction my work has received.
Todd Edwards plays the Basslaced London warehouse party on December 7, alongside DJ EZ, Loefah, Oneman and Roni Size, as part of GetDarker vs. Drum & Bass Arena. Tickets here.

Train Man is a Japanese movie that centers around the life of a twenty-three year old man who plays on his computer and does not have much of a romantic life. That is until he is instrumental in stopping the harassment of some young women on a train by a drunk man, and he meets a woman who he later begins to date. This movie is supposedly based on a true story and has been so revered in the Japanese community that it has been adapted into not just a movie but also a television series, manga and novel.
The supposedly true story comes from a computer thread where an anonymous man, later nicknamed Train Man, told people about how he had helped fight off a drunk man from harassing a group of women on a train. This man apparently posted on the thread about how one of the women that he had helped was especially thankful for his service to her and asked for his address. The fable goes on to tell that after the Train Man received a gift from this particular woman, that he was advised by the other men on the thread to contact the woman, and throughout the course of the relationship of Train Man and the woman that he saved, it is said that he kept the people on the computer thread completely informed.
Whether or not the story of the Train Man is true, no one can really say for certain. Some people, including the producers of the television series, claim that they have spoken with the real man who is supposed to be Train Man. However, some have seen this as a way to increase the ratings of the show by making it seem like the story is true. Either way, the Train Man is a very compelling story that has captivated audiences in many different arenas of entertainment.
The book that the movie was based off of sold many copies in a very short period of time when it was officially released. The story of the Train Man has become so popular that other movies and stories have been named similar things to create a buzz for their Japanese release. For example, the American movie Napoleon Dynamite was renamed Bus Man for this purpose. This proves how the story of the Train Man has impacted the lives of people living in Japan.
The main thing about the movie Train Man that people love is that it is the quintessential love story. The Train Man is generally portrayed as an academic computer type that has not had a lot of love in his life, and the main female that he saves on the train is the typical damsel in distress. Men and women, alike, love to see the computer geek boy with no romantic life at all get the girl in a dramatic rescue. That is why this story has spread so far into the different genres of media, because it is a story that people never tire of hearing.

MADISON (WKOW) -- After earning the Purple Heart, suffering a traumatic brain injury and post traumatic stress, Colonel Kenneth Lee says goodbye to a lengthy career in the Wisconsin Army National Guard.
He was deployed to Iraq as the Wisconsin Army National Guard's state surgeon.
He's now starting a new chapter after retiring at the end of last year.
"The after effect is really starting to show up," said Lee. "It would be contradictory for me to stay in."
As a military leader, he always told other soldiers if you're not fit for duty it's time to leave the service. He's now following his own advice after an injury he got during war.
Col. Lee was deployed to Baghdad in 2004. One memory he'll never forget is the suicide bomber that almost took his life.
"We stopped because there was an IED detected. The guys were dismantling the bomb and it was the only day we stopped," said Lee. "I never stop for anything and I'll go against the traffic on the freeway to keep moving so we don't become a stationary target."
Col. Lee says the suicide car bomber was less than 10 to 15 yards away when the explosion went off. Col. Lee underwent four surgeries and extensive physical rehab.
He doesn't let his injury impact his dedication. In his retirement, Col. Lee remains employed as the chief of the spinal cord injury division at the VA Medical Center in Milwaukee.

EDIT: More context here.
First, with the exception of a dozen or so Republicans in the House and Maine's Susan Collins in the Senate, the number of GOP members of the 113th Congress who see cutting a deal with the president — in the fiscal cliff or, frankly, anything else — as politically advantageous is close to zero.
Second, while House Democrats are equally de-incentivized to working across the aisle, there is a large-ish group of Senate Democrats who must find ways of showing their bipartisan spirit if they want to win reelection in states that didn't favor their party — or even come close to doing so — in the 2012 election.
Those twin political realities make the ground on which the fiscal cliff fight — and future scuffles over gun control measures, etc. — less heavily tilted toward Democrats than you might think.
Cillizza's argument is based on the fact that few of the Republicans currently in office reside in districts or states where Obama won. Meanwhile, a number of Democrats (especially in the Senate) are in districts or states where Obama lost, big time. Will be interesting to see if this "what's in it for me" analysis holds up.
This may be a moment in Senate history, when a senator made a proposal that, when given an opportunity for a vote on that proposal, filibustered his own proposal…I don't think this has ever happened before.Sen. Dick Durbin, after Mitch McConnell's latest scheme blew up in his face. McConnell introduced legislation today that would allow the president to unilaterally raise the debt limit, suspecting that Democrats wouldn't have the guts to vote for it. When it became clear that Democrats did indeed have the votes to pass the bill with a simple majority, McConnell filibustered it, preventing its passage. The United States Senate, ladies and gentlemen. source
DeMint has been a destructive force, threatening to primary colleagues, resisting all deals and offering very little in the way of attainable legislation. He has contributed more than any current senator to the dysfunction of that body. He has worsened relations between the House and Senate, as he did in the budget fights in recent years, by meddling and pressuring his home state representative. His departure leaves other senators who seemed impressed with his brand of politics free to find their way to a more constructive position in the body.The Washington Post's Jennifer Rubin • Discussing why Jim DeMint's departure from the Senate is a good thing for Congress … though it could prove much worse down the road, due to the influence he'll yield as head of the Heritage Foundation. Rubin suggests he hurts the Heritage brand. "By embracing him, Heritage, to a greater extent than ever before, becomes a political instrument in service of extremism, not a well-respected think tank and source of scholarship," she writes. "Every individual who works there should take pause and consider whether the reputation of that institution is elevated or diminished by this move. And I would say the same, frankly, if any other non-scholarly pol took that spot."
The Republican Study Committee, a caucus of Republicans in the House of Representatives, has told staffer Derek Khanna that he will be out of a job when Congress re-convenes in January. The incoming chairman of the RSC, Steve Scalise (R-LA) was approached by several Republican members of Congress who were upset about a memo Khanna wrote advocating reform of copyright law. They asked that Khanna not be retained, and Scalise agreed to their request.
The release and subsequent retraction of Khanna's memo has made waves in tech policy circles. The document argues that the copyright regime has become too favorable to the interests of copyright holders and does not adequately serve the public interest. It advocates several key reforms, including reducing copyright terms and limiting the draconian "statutory damages" that can reach as high as $150,000 per infringing work.
Mind you, tech scholars and the public thought this idea was great. But content groups? They said no, and now this dude is out of a job. Ouch.
For 16 months, Democrats and Republicans behaved like a husband and wife in an ugly divorce proceeding, not speaking to each other except through invective.
Now they will see if their troubled marriage can be salvaged, for the sake of the children, which in this case is the U.S. economy. The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office reiterated last week that jumping off the cliff would boost the jobless rate to 9 percent from the current 7.9 percent.
For Obama, who won four more years in office in Tuesday's election, this is his moment to bring a "balanced approach" to healing the nation's fiscal problems.
In the Democrat's eyes, that means keeping lower tax rates for the poor and middle class, while forcing the rich to pay more income taxes. White House spokesman Jay Carney renewed the president's vow to veto legislation that simply extends the tax cuts, which originated during the administration of President George W. Bush.
If Republicans were to agree to the higher tax rates on the wealthy, that would open the door to deals on a new round of spending cuts, including sensitive "entitlement" programs, such as the Medicare healthcare program for the elderly, some Democrats say privately.
Get these guys some couples' therapy. Please.

The Arranged Love marriage floats in as a new entry with the never ending debate of Love versus Arranged marriage and is a reliever for the ones struggling with the post hassles of a love marriage.
Well, the term marriage in itself, be it a love or an arranged, is a broad gamut of understanding, compatibility, friendship, adjustments, compromises, love, families, career and many more.
Moreover, the rationalists' Indian still finds pride, honour, dignity, societal respect in conducting an arranged marriage. Even the urban Indian pulls up a surprising second question "Oh! Really yours is a love marriage, wow great". The successful arranged marriage couples are usually found boasting the family support they receive. [..]

A Buford man and his friend credit "male intuition" for leading them to purchase a winning Fantasy 5 lottery ticket at a Hoschton convenience store.
Thomas Hinton of Buford and his friend Angelo Fanelli purchased the winning ticket at Jack's, 1929 Highway 211 in Hoschton. The two friends will split the $115,000 jackpot.
"I bought it with my buddy, and we decided to do it," Hinton said according to a press release from the Georgia Lottery Corporation. "It was intuition … male intuition that was working that day. Maybe it was premonition."
The winning numbers from the Aug. 7 drawing were 10-28-31-32-36. Winning jackpot tickets were also sold in Norcross and Albany according to lottery officials.
Hinton plans to use a portion of his winnings to make a down payment on a new home. Fanelli said he intends to pay bills with his prize.
Profits from the Georgia Lottery pay for specific educational programs including Georgia's HOPE Scholarship Program and Georgia's Pre-K Program.

Instead of dry cereal or toast, top a microwaved potato with broccoli and grated Parmesan cheese. Or try a whole-wheat sandwich with lean meat and low-fat cheese. Leftover vegetable pizza, vegetable chili, and a whole-wheat pita stuffed with water-packed tuna and cucumbers also are good options. With a little creativity, breakfast can be healthy, convenient and fun, especially if you think outside the box.

Ability to hide spinner on numeric controls
It would be very helpful it there is an option to hide spin controls on numeric controls. Spin control are not really useful in all cases. Also setting readonly property for the control has no effect on the spin control you can still update the value by clicking the spinner. Currently in the forum a workaround was suggested using css (http://jsfiddle.net/krustev/uZUjK/). Implement this as a property for the numeric control

Jerry Turner commented
Yes, we need to be able to easily turn off the spinner controls. For one, with fixed-width columns like we like to keep, it makes editing a small integer field impossible to see the number or even the entire spinner control, itself.
Denis commented
Spinners just don't make sense for non integer numbers, so it should be easy to get rid of them.
ittysatish commented
Here is the link to jsFiddle http://jsfiddle.net/krustev/uZUjK/ I got this from this this kendo forum thread http://www.kendoui.com/forums/ui/numeric-textbox/readonly.aspx
The jsFiddle link is broken. Could you correct and post a comment here.

Business property is a business that began ogled by many people, formerly occupied only by a few people, lots of books, seminars, workshops that discuss how your way of starting a business property. I've studied some of the ebook and books on how to start a property business without capital, was once a simple way, this time I will explain briefly.
In starting a business without capital property are many roles that we can take them as a broker, as the owner of the property itself or as a property developer.
On this occasion I will explain how to start a business without capital as a property developer. Do the following:
1. Looking for land or land
Could use its own land, soil parent, brother's, friend's or belong to someone else, if not one's own we need to convince the owner of the land, how to convince the owner of the land? course by showing that we know exactly and control what we do and we explain how the system of collaboration and how the potential benefits.
2. Create images and Budget Plan
Once you can land the next stage is to create an image and the first budget draft because we will sell the house and rab capitalize images only, what about the cost of drawings and a budget plan? This can be tricked by collaborating with the architect with the agreement of the results, the percentage of the architects of the estimated cost of services tailored to the architect and the overall project cost.
3. Looking for Capital to build a house
If we've managed to convince the owners of land next stage is to seek capital to build houses. Capital may be obtained by searching our home buyer who will then ask for money up front, if he bought the house housing cash then can we begin, of course, equipped with a letter of agreement on how the next payment, if he can buy using Bank after the down payment We also directly ask the credit on behalf of the buyer because it is used to build houses, do not begin construction until it was clear that the first loan was approved in anticipation of housing should not be neglected. Development of capital can also be obtained from construction to apply for credit in our name or the name of our company.
4. If we use a construction loan for the construction of the first we have to return the name of the certificate on behalf of us, to convince the owner of the land complete with a letter of agreement. Be careful when using this technique, taking into account the loan obtained to build enough houses to make sure there is complete or the funds to pay the monthly installments for the unfinished property or for property not sold, make sure the agreement is sounded that the house sold before then there is our percentage of ownership land and the house is in accordance with the percentage of our funds which have been entered into the construction of houses.

Bill Hall used to be a pretty good infielder, and outfielder, and then utility player. He once hit 35 home runs in a season (for the Brewers in 2006). But his numbers declined after that, and he got shuttled from the Brewers to the Mariners to the Red Sox to the Astros to the Giants to the Yankees to the Orioles, for whom he had seven at-bats this season. The Orioles decided they'd seen enough:
The Orioles recall RHP Pomeranz & CA Paulino from AAA Norfolk, option CA Exposito to the Tides & designated INF/OF Hall for assignment.— Baltimore Orioles (@Orioles) May 25, 2012
Some of those names might confuse you.
"Pomeranz" isn't Drew Pomeranz, who was a No. 1 pick of the Indians two years ago and is now with the Rockies. That's Stuart Pomeranz, a 27-year-old veteran of nine minor league seasons. "Paulino" is Ronny Paulino, a journeyman catcher for the Pirates, Marlins and Mets who's bounced up and down between Baltimore and Triple-A Norfolk this year. And "Exposito" is Luis Exposito, whose name always looks misspelled.
Hall is one of the answers to a tricky trivia question: Which two players have pitched for the Red Sox and had a 35-homer season for another team? Hall threw one inning in a blowout game for Boston May 28, 2010.
The other answer to that question is Babe Ruth. And so Bill Hall could be leaving the game with this DFA, but he'll always have Boston.

text: Big Builders Paint Gloomy Picture of 2009But housing executives speaking at Credit Suisse conference predict downturn will produce opportunities for land and market share gains.By John Caulfield The prospects for America's housing industry look bleak in 2009, especially if Congress doesn't include tax credits and interest-rate buydowns in the next economic stimulus package.That's was the message eight public builders conveyed to an audience of fund managers, analysts, and investors at Credit Suisse's homebuilding conference in New York yesterday. Hanley Wood Market Intelligence co-sponsored the two-day event.The tone of the conference had been set the day before, when experts on bankruptcy and foreclosures presented a dismal assessment about the prospects of builders coming out of Chapter 11 (virtually nil), and the government staving off mounting foreclosures. (Sixteen percent of all mortgages will enter foreclosure in 2009, predicts Rod Dubitsky, a managing director for Credit Suisse, whose solution to this problem is the government buying loans from banks and forgiving a portion of the loans' principal balances).Every builder speaking at the conference listed foreclosures, along with the mountain of unsold existing homes on the market, among the biggest problems their companies confront in trying to sell new homes. And most sounded like they agreed with Boyce Thompson, Hanley Wood's editorial director, who predicted that 2009 would be the worst year for the housing industry since World War II, with starts falling anywhere from 20 percent to 30 percent.The builders strained to squeeze out some positives from the plight of their industry and companies. "The good thing is that everyone understands that it's not good out there right now," said Larry Mizel, M.D.C Holdings' chairman and CEO. Larry Nicholson, president and COO of Ryland Group, added that while current market conditions are "horrible," they've forced all builders to take a closer look at their businesses. And all of the builders at the conference are convinced that the downturn and the credit crunch will significantly winnow the ranks of builders (particularly smaller companies), opening the door for better-capitalized builders to capture more business.However, expansion is not on the minds of public builders, which have been in survival mode for more than a year by focusing on liquidity, debt reduction, and expense control. Some have better stories to tell than others, depending on their cash situation, land positions, and how soon their debt matures.The conference had its surreal moments, too, as when Beazer Homes' CFO Allan Merrill, in response to questions about his company's 45.6 percent cancellation rate in its latest quarter, stated that the ratings of buyers who took ownership of a Beazer-built house "have never been higher"; or when Stacey Dwyer, executive vice president of D.R. Horton (which lost $2.6 billion in fiscal 2008), emphasized how Horton had significantly increased its cash flow, to $1.88 billion, at the end of that year.Cash flow, admittedly, is the name of the game for public builders, some of which seem to be amassing war chests in anticipation of picking up land--and, possibly, companies--as the downturn shakes out the housing industry. Right now, though, land deals that make sense financially are scarce, as the asking price of owners is still much higher than what builders are willing to bid. "I can count on one hand the number of deals we approved in the last year," said Pulte Homes President and CEO Richard Dugas.All of the builders have aligned their companies to lower buyer demand by shrinking their staffs, consolidating their divisions, and, in several cases, exiting unprofitable markets. Virtually all of the builders have made adjustments to their products, and are offering smaller and less-expensive models. (For example, more than half of Beazer's house plans are under 2,000 square feet now.) But it appears that builders' attempts to exact more price concessions from their suppliers and contractors have reached a point of diminishing returns. Consequently, builders concede that generating cash though cost savings will be exponentially harder this year, especially if market conditions don't improve.Each builder voiced his or her strong support for Fix Housing First, the housing industry's recommendation to the federal government to buoy consumer confidence and boost buyer demand by offering a $10,000 to $25,000 tax credit to all buyers and reducing mortgage borrowing rates to 2.99 percent through June 30, and to 3.99 percent through Dec. 31. Hovnanian Enterprises CEO Ara Hovnanian even skipped the conference so he could be in Washington to lobby Congress to include this measure in the next stimulus package. The builders at the conference argued that stimulating buyer demand is the best way to stop home prices from falling and stemming foreclosures. However, they also expressed uncertainty about whether President Obama would include this plan in his stimulus package.In their defense of Fix Housing First, several of the builders harkened to a similar plan that President Ford put in place in 1975, which helped kick-start home buying in the late 1970s. Larry Sorsby, Hovnanian's CFO, also drew from history to argue that the eventual recovery from the latest downturn could be steep, as it has been during past recessions. When that recovery will occur, though, is still anyone's guess. Thompson pointed to a recent BUILDER Online survey in which more than half of those polled believe the industry will hit bottom in the first half of 2009. Mizel of M.D.C. playfully predicted that the recovery would occur on a Monday. "We just don't know which Monday."Meanwhile, builders are doing whatever they can to generate sales. "We're not counting on a housing stimulus or waiting for better times," said Jeff Mezger, KB Home's president and CEO. Within the past six months, KB has developed its "Open Series" of house plans, which Mezger calls "the fullest expression of our made-to-order business model." KB is allowing buyers to customize their homes right down to the size of each room. And through value engineering and help from suppliers and trades, KB can offer their homes at reduced prices: in Tucson, Ariz., a 1,700-square-foot Open Series house costs $23,000 less than a previous KB model in that same market. KB expects to hold Open Series grand openings in half of its communities by the middle of this year.In such a difficult and unpredictable economy, many builders at the conference were reluctant to project their financial performance for the quarters to come, but that didn't mean they didn't share some interesting tidbits about their current strategies:M.D.C. is rolling out what Mizel calls its "customer experience" initiative, with the goal of dramatically improving its services to buyers;Doug Yearly, Toll Brothers' regional president, revealed that his company has assembled an internal workout team to evaluate purchases of distressed land. He noted that land prices have started to come down a bit over the last 30 days to 60 days, although he still thinks they are mostly too high. Yearly also said that Toll has been investigating opportunities for expansion outside of the United States for the past two years;Dugas said that Pulte is unlikely to expand its Pulte Building Systems (PBS) operations, which provide turnkey construction solutions for its construction activities in certain high-volume markets. He also explained that Pulte decided to close its component plant in Manassas, Va., because it was only supplying 800 homes to 900 homes per year, when it needed at least 2,000 to make sense financially. However, Dugas was quick to note that his company's ventures into vertical integration have "opened our eyes" to achieving cost savings through "process improvements" that include working with contractors and suppliers to value-engineer the builder's homes;Ryland has been working with its trades, too, to reduce its construction costs. Nicholson said that his company has modifying its competitive bidding process so that it now has multiple trades for each stage of a community, instead of just one. Ryland has also eliminated the use of turnkey providers and buys all of its materials itself. Nicholson added that his company has made "wholesale changes" to its product that include simplifying its house design by standardizing room sizes, adjusting roof pitches, and "squaring the box;"Hovnanian has reduced the size and price of its product in some markets. But Sorsby noted that his company has also gone larger and more expensive in other markets where there's a void due to builders that have left the area or gone out of business. "The only shield you really have is finding a niche that no one else is in and filling it."John Caulfield is senior editor at BUILDER magazine.

Imported Dengue --- United States, 1999 and 2000
Dengue is a mosquito-transmitted acute viral illness caused by any of the four dengue virus serotypes (DEN-1, DEN-2, DEN-3, and DEN-4). Dengue is endemic in most tropical and subtropical areas of the world and has occurred among U.S. residents returning from travel to such areas. CDC maintains a laboratory-based passive surveillance system for imported dengue among U.S. residents (laboratory-diagnosed dengue in a U.S. resident living in an area without known authochthonous dengue transmission, with travel history outside the United States in the 14 days before symptom onset). The system relies on reports by clinicians to state health departments, which forward patient specimens to CDC for diagnostic testing. This report summarizes information about imported dengue cases among U.S. residents during 1999--2000. The findings indicate that dengue continues to cause disease in U.S. travelers abroad. Travelers to tropical areas should protect themselves from mosquito bites, and health-care providers should consider dengue in the differential diagnosis of illness for patients who have returned recently from such areas.
Serum samples from 216 persons who had suspected dengue on the basis of clinical presentation and onset of symptoms in 1999 and 2000 were submitted to CDC from 34 states and the District of Columbia (1). From these samples, 41 (19%) cases were laboratory-diagnosed as dengue, of which 38 (93%) had IgM antibody or single high titers of IgG antibody in serum samples, and three (7%) patients had isolation of dengue virus (DEN-2, DEN-3, and DEN-4; one case each) (Table 1). Dengue diagnosis was negative in 112 (52%) patients, and indeterminate among 63 (29%) patients because convalescent samples for serologic testing were unavailable.
Of the 40 laboratory-diagnosed dengue cases with available data, 22 (55%) were males. Age was reported for 35 persons (median: 37 years, range: 5--72 years). Clinical information was available for 28 patients with laboratory-diagnosed dengue. The most commonly reported symptoms were fever (100%), headache (64%), rash (54%), and myalgia (39%). At least three patients were identified as having been hospitalized, and one of these died (a male aged 41 years who had recently returned from Bangladesh).
States reporting the highest number of cases were Massachusetts (four) in 1999 and New York (five) in 2000. Travel histories within the 2 weeks before illness, available for 33 persons, indicated that infections probably were acquired in Asia (13 cases), the Caribbean islands (12), Central America (seven), South America (one), and Africa (one). One patient reported traveling both in the Caribbean islands and South America.
Data for both 1999 and 2000 indicated a marked decline in persons tested and in the percentage of persons laboratory-diagnosed with dengue, compared with 1997 and 1998, when 349 persons were tested and 143 (41%) were laboratory-diagnosed with dengue (2).
Reported by: GG Clark, PhD, JG Rigau-Pérez, MD, V Vorndam, PhD, Div of Vector-Borne Infectious Diseases, National Center for Infectious Diseases; JM Hayes, DrPH, EIS Officer, CDC.
Editorial Note:
Dengue is transmitted to humans by Aedes mosquitoes. The majority of U.S. residents with dengue become infected during travel to tropical areas, although autochthonous transmission of dengue was documented in Texas in 1999 (3,4), and Hawaii in 2001 (5). The 1999 Texas outbreak was limited in scope because environmental factors (e.g., air conditioning) limited contact with Ae. aegypti mosquitoes. In Hawaii, the outbreak might have been limited because the vector was Ae. albopictus, a less efficient vector for dengue than Ae. aegypti, which was not detected in localities where dengue transmission occurred.
The incubation period of dengue has a range of 3--14 days (in the majority of cases, 4--7 days). Dengue virus infection can be asymptomatic or cause illnesses ranging from mild undifferentiated fever to severe disease, including hemorrhagic manifestations and shock (6). Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) is characterized by fever, minor or major bleeding phenomena, thrombocytopenia (<100,000 platelets/mm3), and evidence of increased vascular permeability (e.g., hemoconcentration [hematocrit increased by >20% from baseline], pleural or abdominal effusions, or hypoproteinemia) (6). Dengue shock syndrome (DSS) is DHF with signs of circulatory failure, including narrow pulse pressure (<20 mmHg), hypotension, or shock, and might result in a case fatality rate of approximately 10% (7).
During 1993--1998, the number of imported laboratory-diagnosed U.S. cases increased, reflecting the impact of travel and the occurrence of epidemic dengue in 1995 and 1998, especially in the Caribbean and Central America. The smaller number of laboratory-diagnosed cases of dengue in 1999 and 2000 is temporally associated with a decreased number of cases of dengue/DHF in the Americas (8).
The findings in this report are subject to at least two limitations. First, travel histories and clinical information were available only for certain persons with dengue, and they might not be representative of all persons with imported dengue. Second, the number of dengue cases referred to CDC for diagnosis represents a minimum estimate of the actual number of U.S. travelers with dengue fever or DHF/DSS. Diagnostic samples might not have been sent for testing or might have been sent to other laboratories. Because dengue is not nationally reportable, persons with suspected dengue might not be reported. For example, in response to the 1999 documented authochthonous transmission of dengue, Texas implemented a state laboratory-based active surveillance system. Of the 462 patients whose specimens were submitted for testing at the Texas Department of Health (TDH) or other reference laboratories that year, 66 (14.3%) were laboratory-diagnosed as dengue (TDH, surveillance data, cases not included in this report).
Persons traveling to areas where dengue is endemic should avoid exposure to mosquitoes by using repellents, wearing protective clothing, and remaining in well-screened or air-conditioned areas. No vaccine is available for preventing dengue infection. Health-care providers should consider dengue in the differential diagnosis of illness for all patients who have fever and a history of travel to tropical areas within 2 weeks before the onset of symptoms. Supportive measures should be administered, and only acetaminophen is recommended for management of pain and fever. Acetylsalicylic acid (i.e., aspirin) and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents are contraindicated because of their anticoagulant properties. Dengue patients should be monitored for signs of DHF, especially hypotension, because prompt fluid therapy reduces morbidity and mortality. Acute-phase (0--5 days after onset of symptoms) and convalescent-phase (6--30 days after onset of symptoms) serum samples obtained for viral isolation and diagnosis should be sent through state or territorial health departments to CDC's Dengue Branch, Division of Vector-Borne Infectious Diseases, National Center for Infectious Diseases, 1324 Calle Cañada, San Juan, PR 00920-3860, telephone 787-706-2399, fax 787-706-2496. Serum samples should be accompanied by a summary of clinical and epidemiologic information, including date of onset of disease, date of collection of sample, and a detailed recent travel history.

So I haven't blogged in a while but I have been a busy girl, Reading blogs, experimenting with making things and living life.
In the time since my last post I graduated, started another year of study, built a house with my family, moved from one end to the other then did all that again, started painting a birch tree feature wall, made light fixtures, started a new job, and found some skeletons (real ones, not ones in the closet). I mentioned I experimented with making things, yes I've done a lot of that, from casting and molding to natural dyeing and crochet. I never stop loving that passion of learning something new.

Total Time: 3 minutes
Yield: 1 Cocktail
- 1 sugar cube
- 2-3 dashes Angostura bitters
- Champagne

The Energy [R]evolution 2012 provides a consistent fundamental pathway for protecting our climate through investment in renewable energy. It's about getting the world from where we are now to where we need to be by phasing out fossil fuels and cutting CO2 emissions while ensuring energy security.
The expert consensus is that this fundamental shift in the way we consume and generate energy must begin immediately and be well underway within the next ten years in order to avert the worst impacts of climate change. The scale of the challenge requires a complete transformation of the way we produce, consume and distribute energy, while maintaining economic growth.
To make the Energy [R]evolution real and to avoid dangerous climate change, Greenpeace, GWEC and EREC demand that the following policies and actions are implemented in the energy sector:
Energy Revolution is produced together with our partners EREC and GWEC
There are already around 3 million people employed by the renewable energy industry today, like this worker in a wind turbine factory. By 2030, if the Energy [R]evolution scenario is followed, this could rise to 8.5 million jobs. This would mean...
Geothermal is a third source of renewable energy. It uses heat coming from the Earth's core, and transforms it into electricity. Iceland, pictured here, is one of the countries in the world the most advanced in geothermal. The amount of volcanoes...
Massive wind farm are also developing offshore, where the wind is usually stronger. Here, a wind farm in Denmark.
... and with thermic photography. The lack of red color shows there is much less heat loss in this case than with a normal building. With the proper government incentives, this could become the new 'normal'.
You can compare the previous 'normal building' to this insulated one. Here in normal photography...

Mice given a drug commonly used in patients to fight systemic fungal infections more often succumb to what would otherwise be a mild case of the flu. The evidence reported in the Cell Press journal Cell Reports on November 21st shows that the drug called Amphotericin B, which has an estimated $330 million in sales around the world each year, can render a protein important for antiviral defense ineffective in both cells and mice.
Scientists have moved closer to developing a universal flu vaccine after using the 2009 pandemic as a natural experiment to study why some people seem to resist severe illness. Researchers at Imperial College London asked volunteers to donate blood samples just as the swine flu pandemic was getting underway and report any symptoms they experienced over the next two flu seasons. They found that those who avoided severe illness had more CD8 T cells, a type of virus-killing immune cell, in their blood at the start of the pandemic.
Researchers with the Network Dynamics and Simulation Science Laboratory at the Virginia Bioinformatics Institute have revealed new information about the latest strain of type A influenza, known as H7N9, in a report in the journal PLOS Currents: Outbreaks.
A unique form of pink eye found in some songbird species has given researchers insight into how disease virulence – or severity of harm to the host – evolves in conjunction with a susceptible population's density and/or disease resistance. These findings may help scientists understand and predict the impacts of highly contagious human diseases, like SARS or flu.
Scientists have described small genetic changes that enable the H5N1 bird flu virus to replicate more easily in the noses of mammals. So far there have only been isolated cases of bird flu in humans, and no widespread transmission as the H5N1 virus can't replicate efficiently in the nose. The new study, using weakened viruses in the lab, supports the conclusions of controversial research published in 2012 which demonstrated that just a few genetic mutations could enable bird flu to spread between ferrets, which are used to model flu infection in humans.
Outbreaks of disease in wildlife may seem remote and, for most humans, inconsequential. But disease events that arise in wild animal populations can be far-reaching and can even pose a threat to humans and domestic animals far removed from the source of animal affliction. New strains of flu, for example, often arise in birds and are first detected in surveys of waterfowl long before they begin to infect domestic animals and humans.

On behalf of the Save Hofstra Football organization I would like to wish everyone a Happy and Healthy New Year.
We have filed the paperwork on the 501c Corporation and have built the official website at www.savehofstrafootball.org. Here we will be able to coordinate our efforts and take online donations to support our cause. The past 3 weeks have seen much activity and some great progress. We have had numerous conversations with elected officials who share our concerns about the negative impact of losing Hofstra Football. We are recieving donations and have begun to build our war chest. We have also had conversations with past administrators at Hofstra who have shared valuable insight and guidance to our best path to take. There have been conversations with other area Athletic Directors who have shared other options that could and should have been investigated by Stuey. The Nassau County High School Coaches association has agreed to join our efforts as have many prominent alumni from other sports at Hofstra. They all share our concern over the future this administration has planned for our Alma Mater. On a whole we have gathered now to become nearly 12,000 strong between our Facebook, Linkedin and general distribution lists.
Here is a brief overview of upcoming events: On Saturday January 16th we will be hosting a Fundraiser with a silent auction from. 4-8PM. Please invite everyone you know and bring the families. Some items to be auctioned are NFL memorabilia generously donated by Dave Fiore and Wayne Chrebet, golf foursomes at some notable area courses (Winged Foot and Westchester to name a few). We are looking for an and all volunteers to help us with donating items and organizing the event. If you are able to help, please go to our website and join our team. The event will be held at the Public House in NYC, http://www.publichousenyc.com/.
Another event is going to be our first save hofstra football rally on January 19th. We will be meeting at Bar Social located directly across the street from Hofstra, formerly, Bogarts, Pendeltons, Bills Meadowbrook etc. We plan to meet at 5:30 to organize our group. We will then head over to the Mack Arena to attend the Men's Basketball game which is being nationally televised on ESPNU. We will be selling T-shirts supporting Hofstra Football to wear into the arena in a show of support.
In February after the NFL season we plan to hold another silent auction with some of today's current NFL stars such as Marques Colston and Willie Colon.
We need volunteers (no matter where you reside). Please go our website and join our team - make mention as to what you would like to do. Thank You!!
Have a safe and Happy New Year.

Finnish aid to developing countries fails to reach goals
print this
According to preliminary information, Finland's aid to developing countries fell last year to 0.39 per cent of the gross national product. In 2005, the proportion of foreign aid was some 0.46 per cent of GNP.
The goal set by the government
in its budget discussions is to allocate some 0.42 per cent of GNP to development aid. According to the Ministry for Foreign Affairs, the gap between the target and the realised funding is attributable to the surprisingly good economic development in the country. Because Finland's GNP grew more sharply than expected, the agreed proportion of development cooperation, measured in euros, failed to reach the target.
Gunvor Kronman Kronman notes further that the current situation is bound to press the government into separating the foreign aid from the budget framework. Moreover, the government should state its goal simply as a percentage.
"If the sums are recorded in euros, it is almost impossible to meet the set targets", she remarks, also saying that Finland has committed itself to the target of the raising of its development aid to 0.7 per cent of GDP by 2010, which is the goal set by the UN.
In fact, the current government announced that during its term it would make efforts to achieve the 0.7 per cent goal, "on condition that the economic situation allows for this".
Moreover, the government managed to increase the amount of Finland's financial input in development cooperation by EUR 240 million. Even the percentage portion of GDP grew annually, except for last year.
Nevertheless, the percentage portion failed every year to reach the annual goal set by the government, except once, in 2005.
In Kronman's view
, Finland's international reputation is deteriorating and its status is declining, because of the country's insufficient development aid funding.
However, Minister for Foreign Trade and Development
Paula Lehtomäki
(Centre) believes that the main thing is to have a credible plan to reach the percentage goal.
In 2005, Finland's development aid was around EUR 726 million, while last year it remained at approximately EUR 659 million.
Sinikka Antila
from the Foreign Ministry explained the decline by reporting that the somewhat higher figure for 2005 included debt relief granted to Iraq, even though such arrangements do not belong to regular development aid.
Last year
, development assistance worth EUR 12 million remained unpaid, according to preliminary information.
