We opted for take-away. Meal piping hot and tasty. Wether it was true authentic dishes, i don't know. fact is we enjoyed the pud Thai and s&p squid and we would return.
The Menu read very well and my expectations were high - probably wrong to start with. The food was not as presented on the menu & I felt the flavors of at least one of the dishes was completely wrong ( wrong sauce, missing something) dish was left uneaten. No comment made asking why. With the number of eateries in...
This is a good value Chinese-Malaysian restaurant in Glenelg near the beach. Food is good for the price and it's clean.
Really disappointing for the price.
Ordered a seafood laksa & a red beef curry, both $12.90 a piece.
The laksa was 95% rice vermicelli, what soup there was was insipid, tasteless & watery, there was 1 prawn, 3 pieces of calamari & a few bits of fish cake [ie, seafood extender].
The red beef curry was slightly better, we ended...
As usual the owner was cheery and keen to take care of our needs. There is a good range of dishes to choose from and they obviously use fresh ingredients at Blue Ginger. The quality and taste of the food makes this casual dining experience excellent value for money. We have never been disappointed and have eaten here many times....
Multiple hairs in food
Bugs in food
Minimal service
Not great value for money
It's in a good location and seems good in theory but the food is not great overall and regret making the decision to eat here
This little cafe has no fancy frills but it does have great Asian food at fantastic prices. Henry is always happy to do a banquet for a group of 4 or more and the food just keeps coming. The restaurant is clean, friendly and he keeps a good range of beers, wines and spirits to complement the food. His cuisine...
no views but good food at a good price. We love it.
This little restaurant was a pleasant surprise.
The food was quite good.
Very bland from the outside and little to recommend it as an interior decorators delight.
However the food was quite good an tasty, the service was excellent.
The menu was small but varied.
Great value really and if I was looking for somewhere in Glenelg to have a...

I don't even know where to begin regarding Monday night's Ramapo-Wayne Hills epic thriller in the semifinals of the Big North Green Cup. As of right now, it's the Game of the Year in North Jersey hockey… hands down, especially when you factor in the fact that it was a tournament upset (5-seed over 2-seed), the magnitude of the moment, the nature and unlikeliness of Ramapo's dramatic comeback, and the events which led up to Monday's showdown — all of which I get into below.
After playing to a 3-3 tie in regulation and 15 minutes of overtime — with Ramapo staging the furious comeback with three goals from Sean Johnson, Connor Russo and Sean Soderlund in the final six minutes of regulation (including Soderlund's clutch game-tying score which came with just 20 seconds to go) — it was sophomore Stephen Schwab's shootout goal, in the fifth and final slot in the order, which sent the fifth-seeded Raiders to the Green Cup final with a 2-1 shootout victory over Wayne Hills. They'll now meet top-seeded and defending champion Ramsey in Friday's championship game.
Ironically enough, Schwab's most recent tweet prior to Monday night's game-winner referenced the now-famous T.J. Oshie, who delivered his own shootout magic in Team USA's victory over Russia in the Olympics on Saturday morning. Schwab's tweet read: "I don't know who you are Oshie, but you did it."
Monday night, Schwab did it.
I dont know who you are Oshie but you did it
— Stephen Schwab (@stephenschwab2) February 15, 2014
"Wow," a speechless Schwab said outside of a raucous Ramapo postgame locker room Monday night, just minutes after being mobbed by his teammates and Raiders fans after his game-winner.
"This is an unreal feeling, I'll say that much. I did feel the pressure [of being Ramapo's final shooter] and I was definitely nervous. There's not really any words to describe this feeling right now."
"I had a ton of confidence in him in that spot because he had two huge snipes against Indian Hills, our rival, earlier this year and both were beautiful goals against [Josh] Welte, who is one of the best goalies in the state. Teams have to respect [Stephen] out there, he's a good shooter and he showed it tonight," said Johnson, who laughed at his own shootout attempt… calling it a "whiff" but added with a laugh, 'We won the game though and that's all that matters.'
@RamapoIceHockey @eastbarber Lot of HEART shown by #PoPuck tonight in their epic come from behind, shootout win over Wayne Hills. #PoPride
— RamapoAthletics (@RamapoAthletics) February 18, 2014
Aside from Schwab's shootout heroics — which came in during an incredibly intense, high-pressure situation with the smaller-than-expected crowd making a lot of noise throughout the shootout – it was another unlikely hero, Josh Pruiksma, who got the Raiders on the board with a 1-0 lead in the fourth round of the shootout after the first three Raiders (and Patriots) struggled to even get shots on net. The story behind how Pruiksma, who had exactly zero goals on the year prior to Monday night, and Schwab — only a sophomore — were chosen is a story in itself, too.
"[Assistant coach] Tom Witterschein called it with Schwab," Ramapo coach Lee Barber said. "When [goalie Chris] Raymond heard that he goes, 'I like your gut, coach.' So we put him in the No. 5 spot and sure enough, he scores. At the end of the third period, we were going through the list with Raymond (who made 2 key saves during Monday's shootout, while 2 other shots missed the net, and 27 other saves in 60 minutes of play) because we practice shootouts and he's the one in net against them. We wanted his point of view on who's toughest to stop. He's actually the one who suggested Pruiksma. We go 'Pruiksma?! He doesn't have a goal all year.' Then Chris joked that his hands are so bad they make him good for this. And just like with Schwab, he came up huge."
While it a pair of unlikely sources who delivered in the shootout, it was a trio of more well-known Ramapo stars — Johnson, Russo and Soderlund — who allowed the Raiders the shootout opportunity in the first place. Things looked bleak for Ramapo after Wayne Hills' Mike Crincoli scored midway through the third period to put the Pats up, 3-0, and looked even bleaker after the Raiders took a penalty immediately following Crincoli's goal after a scrum developed in front of the net. Some people even started to leave the arena after that goal-penalty sequence.
But then Johnson, a senior captain, got the momentum going shortly after with an unassisted shorthanded goal to make it 3-1.
"We just kept stressing to keep getting pucks to the net," said Barber, whose team had to play 60 minutes on the second of back-to-back nights after Ramapo's quarterfinal round game was moved from Friday to Sunday because of snow.
"We thought once we got the first one to go in, the floodgates would open. We thought sooner or later it was gonna happen."
Ramapo, the tournament's No. 5 seed, then full took advantage of a 5-on-3, aided by the ejection of Wayne Hills coach Angelo Serse, who was apparently tossed for criticizing the officials (Serse will likely now have to serve a two-game suspension, which will be Wayne Hills' first two state tournament games, per NJSIAA rules).
Russo then scored to make it 3-2 with 1:18 remaining while on the two-man advantage (with assists from Jason Ruggiero and Soderlund), followed by Soderland striking for the game-tying score with just 20 seconds on the clock (assisted by Ruggiero and Russo). Clutch.
"During intermission [between the second and third periods], the seniors all talked with everyone about how this could be our last game," said Johnson, one of the top defensemen in North Jersey. "No one wanted that. We said we had to leave it all out on the ice and then things started happening and we started capitalizing on some penalties."
There was also plenty of revenge factor for Ramapo coming into Monday's matchup, after falling to Wayne Hills, 2-1, on Feb. 7, which made Monday's win even sweeter for #PoPuckNation. They entered that game at 7-9-1 overall with three games remaining before the state tournament cutoff. Two wins and a tie would have guaranteed them an automatic bid into states, but a controversial game-tying goal in the final second of the second period swayed momentum Wayne Hills' way and Ramapo went on to lose, getting eliminated from automatic berth contention (read a little more about that goal controversy here).
"Oh my gosh, that one was a heartbreaker, to say the least," Johnson said. "It kept us from getting that automatic entry into states. We wanted to proved ourselves with a win tonight. Revenge was definitely on our minds."
"It's hockey karma," Barber said. "When we played [Wayne Hills] last week, the video tape showed the refs made a big mistake which allowed them to get the game-tying goal. We said, 'Let's just hope we see them in the playoffs.' These guys have been working hard all year and even when we were down 3-0, as usual, they didn't give up. They never ever give up. With six minutes to go, it could have been real easy to quit, but these guys never quit. It's poetic justice, it really is. The first time we played them we were missing a key guy, and last week we played them, we got robbed. Our kids deserved this one tonight."
Aside from the revenge factor, Ramapo was playing to show the state tournament committee how deserving it is of an at-large bid in today's state seeding meeting (though games after the Feb. 12 cutoff aren't really supposed to count, but like, everyone on that committee knows what went down Monday night). There are three at-large bids up for grabs in Public B, and the Raiders have been motivated all week at the possibility of making a deep run in the Green Cup to show just how deserving they are. Whether they get in or not, they showed some heart in the final minutes of that period Monday night and earned at least one more game Friday night — in the Green Cup final.
"We just wanted to prove to the state that even though we're under .500, we deserve to be in states," Johnson said. "With this win, I think we proved we belong."
"Like I've been telling them all week, the committee will be hard-pressed to keep us out if we make our league finals," Barber said. "Our motto all week has been, 'Let's make it impossible for them to keep us out.' In this one, the seniors knew they didn't want this to be their last game, because we don't know what [the committee is] going to do [Tuesday]. At the very least, our kids wanted at least one more on Friday [for the Green Cup title]."
"But our thinking has been, if we keep winning, there's no way they can keep us out. The seeds have been falling the right way this tournament and things worked out for us. The hockey Gods are smiling down on us now. They owe us."

At exalted you can buy the Reins of the Heavenly Golden Cloud Serpent for 100,000 Timeless Coins although I still had 31,935 left over. Considering the number of Harmonious Porcupettes I've purchased over the last few weeks, I don't really have anything else to spend them on so I guess I'll be buying more porcupettes until I'm done with the achievement. Sadly, there's only been one addition since my last update so I feel like I'll be stuck on the Isle indefinitely with fourteen left to go. There really needs to be a higher drop rate on these unique items.

Someone had to take the blame for Thursday's season opening loss to Eastern Illinois University.
For all intents and purposes, the Salukis should have been celebrating a good start to the year when the game concluded and already begun looking ahead to a tough matchup with Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, this weekend.
Historically, SIU doesn't lose to Eastern on the gridiron.
The Salukis were 40-25-1 all-time against the Panthers before Thursday, including a four-game win streak by at least 15 points.
Also historically, coach Dale Lennon doesn't lose season openers.
Before Thursday, Lennon had a 13-2 record in openers, with one of the losses at the hands of Football Bowl Subdivision school Marshall University 31-28 in 2009.
Somehow, with history's odds in the Salukis favor, it was the Panthers who celebrated a victory on O'Brien Field's turf — their rookie head coach Dino Babers soaked from a Gatorade shower, and fans taking pictures of a scoreboard that read 49-28 in favor of the home team.
Someone had to take the blame.
Outside of the locker room following the loss, Lennon did the most respectable thing he could do: took the blame.
He didn't point toward the four fumbles the Salukis lost, one of which came on their own two-yard line, or the 127 yards on penalties that Eastern gave the Salukis, most which weren't taken advantage of.
Lennon didn't point fingers at a secondary that was questioned all summer, and he confirmed the doubters' thoughts by allowing seven touchdowns through the air.
Lennon said there was one man that deserved to be held accountable for the loss, and that was himself.
"I didn't have (the team) prepared and ready to play at the level we needed to," he said after Thursday's game. "That's what is disappointing."
At Monday's weekly press conference, Lennon alluded again to his faults against Eastern.
"You have to make sure you give your players a chance to be successful, and that's the job of us coaches," he said. "We have to give the players a chance to be successful."
While opinions of Lennon differ, one thing is certain. He knows how to win.
Over the course of his career, he has attained a 130-51 record and was named Missouri Valley Football Conference Coach of the Year in 2008 and 2009. He also won a Division II championship at North Dakota in 2001.
The Salukis face a huge test Saturday in Oxford. The Redhawks were trounced 56-10 by Ohio State University Saturday, and the team will be hungry for a win.
Historically, Miami has a nearly perfect record of 6-0-1 against Football Championship Series teams.
Miami's aerial attack, led by quarterback Zac Dysert and receiver Nick Harwell, will be ready to pounce on a Saluki secondary still searching for answers. Turnovers must be kept to a minimum, and Miami will almost certainly not commit 15 penalties for 127 yards.
As always with a matchup between an FCS and FBS school, a win might not be expected of the Salukis, but they must offer a challenge and put themselves in a position for a victory while building confidence for the rest of the season.
If Lennon thought it was his fault the team wasn't prepared to play last week, another slow start at Miami means he isn't doing his job.
Lennon cannot afford to take the blame Saturday.

Differentiating On Customer Experience
Posted by Paul Hagen on March 15, 2011
- 839 Recommendations
- 3 comments
Michael Porter famously wrote that companies differentiate themselves by performing a unique set of activities from their competitors' or by performing the same activities differently.
Here are some numbers: 86% of companies say customer experience is a top strategic priority for 2011; 76% seek to differentiate based on customer experience; 46% have a companywide program for improving customer experience currently in place and another 30% are actively considering it; and 52% have a voice of the customer program in place with close to 30% more actively considering it.
With the majority of companies focused on improving customer experience, how can a company expect to differentiate on it? Because there remains a tremendous amount of lip service and intellectual dishonesty about what it takes. Let me give a few examples:
- Friendly agents game the numbers. Although not able to answer the two questions that I had, a super-friendly phone agent at a major telecommunications firm ended the conversation by asking: "We aim to not only meet your expectations but to exceed them. Have I done that today?" From the tone of the agent's voice and the question asked, it's clear that someone at the company is thinking about customer experience. However, the gaming of the question indicates that the company's culture has a long way to go to actually improve the experience beyond the superficialities.
- Our aim is to be No. 1 in revenue. Despite having a centralized customer experience effort already three years in the making, one company I recently worked with is still formulating a customer experience strategy. But wait, there's more! The firm's newly formulated company strategy focuses on achieving the top spot in global revenues a decade from now. Imagine that customer experience leader trying to focus the culture on customers' experiences with that as the most prominent company driver?
- Customer-centric most often means putting the customer in the center of our convoluted operations. Working outside-in (rather than inside-out) is a fundamental mind shift that challenges even the best of organizations. Most firms focus primarily on internal business processes, efficiencies, stakeholders, and measures — not on things important to customers. Even software platforms like CRM, that are supposed to support company attempts to be customer-centric, don't account for customer processes, customer perceptions, and customer efficiency. As a result, marketing uses customer data better to improve lead generation and service has tools to more quickly deal with patrons, but customers still have to navigate the foreign silos that make up the world of organizational structure.
The good news for leaders is that there is plenty of room for differentiation. There are plenty of differentiating experiences to provide that don't all have to be like Zappos or Ritz Carleton but that make a difference in the eyes of YOUR customers. Differentiate your companies by performing the customer experience activities differently. Understand the magnitude change of an outside-in approach, be intellectually honest in seeking to truly understand (and not game) customer's perceptions of the experience, and align operations to better deliver value to customers.

Customer Experience
Customer experience is becoming increasingly more important and the US economy slowly recovers. Consumers are no longer just looking for the cheapest thing, they are also looking for the best experience at that price. More thoughts at: http://www.luminositymarketing.com/blog/?p=3796
Jill Dehnert
customer service
I totally agree with your comment that companies pay lip service to the concept of customer service. I saw many internal customer service reports that are designed to tell the senior management what they want to hear, rather than the truth about what their customer's are actually experiencing.
Differentiate on the right things
I agree - plenty of room for differentiation. One note - I think too often companies may differentiate on something that doesn't matter too much. Really understanding what drives customer loyalty in their company will guide them to the improve the experiences where diffentiation can make a big difference.

Directed partial correlation : inferring large-scale gene regulatory network through induced topology disruptions

Inferring regulatory relationships among many genes based on their temporal variation in transcript abundance has been a popular research topic. Due to the nature of microarray experiments, classical tools for time series analysis lose power since the number of variables far exceeds the number of the samples. In this paper, we describe some of the existing multivariate inference techniques that are applicable to hundreds of variables and show the potential challenges for small-sample, largescale data. We propose a directed partial correlation (DPC) method as an efficient and effective solution to regulatory network inference using these data. Specifically for genomic data, the proposed method is designed to deal with large-scale datasets. It combines the efficiency of partial correlation for setting up network topology by testing conditional independence, and the concept of Granger causality to assess topology change with induced interruptions. The idea is that when a transcription factor is induced artificially within a gene network, the disruption of the network by the induction signifies a genes role in transcriptional regulation. The benchmarking results using GeneNetWeaver, the simulator for the DREAM challenges, provide strong evidence of the outstanding performance of the proposed DPC method. When applied to real biological data, the inferred starch metabolism network in Arabidopsis reveals many biologically meaningful network modules worthy of further investigation. These results collectively suggest DPC is a versatile tool for genomics research. The R package DPC is available for download (http://code.google.com/p/dpcnet/).

No, no, no, I'm not talking about shooting Jay Cutler to put him out of our misery.
Although I'm not totally against the idea. (As Judy Grimes would say, just kidding just kidding.)
Look, I get it--Jay Cutler is a good quarterback. He's undoubtedly more talented than the Vikings' current dynamic duo behind center. But I refuse to waste any more time talking about him because:
- The Vikings have nothing to offer that would entice the Broncos to trade him to Minnesota, especially compared to the plethora of other teams that are reportedly interested in him.
- It's becoming blatantly obvious that the guy is a solid mixture of a giant douche and a turd sandwich. It's OK to be a little miffed that your new coach was looking to trade you, but to burn his calls like a scorned junior high girlfriend is a bit much. I remember almost everyone on this site shunning the possibility of getting another me-first prima donna a few weeks ago--why is this one so different?
What I'd really like to discuss involves a small tweak to solve an issue that has been gaining some steam lately--the (un)fairness of the NFL's current overtime rule.
I can't believe I'm saying this, but Peter King makes a couple of excellent points about overtime in a recent article:
In the last five years, 28 of the 72 overtime games played ended on the first possession of overtime, with the teams losing the coin flip not getting a chance to touch the ball. That's 39 percent of the games ending with one team touching the ball in overtime.
In the last five years, 72 of the 72 teams that won the coin flip to start overtime chose to receive. I keep hearing how the coin flip doesn't win or lose the games; teams do. True. But if the coin flip is so insignificant, why has no team since Marty Mornhinweg's Lions in 2001 chosen to kick off after winning?
First of all, feel free to chuckle again about Marty's infamous decision; yet another great chapter in the proud history of the Detroit Lions. I know I had a good laugh. But King is right on--if the overtime format is so "fair", why does the team that wins the coin toss run back to the sideline celebrating like they just won the lottery? Even the 2000 Ravens wouldn't have thought for a moment about kicking off to the other team in overtime. And they had Trent Dilfer!
I'm well aware that any reform to the overtime format has already been shot down at this year's NFL meetings, so you won't see changes any time soon. But I have a simple solution that may please everyone:
Get rid of punting in overtime.
That's it.
I'll admit that I didn't come up with this idea all on my own. Tuesday Morning Quarterback proposed an idea a few months ago that teams play a full fifth quarter but take away all field goals, punts, and PATs. It's a nice idea that would give both teams an adequate shot at winning (and without any kicks, a lower chance of ties), but the NFL Players Association would never go for it. Any overtime solution that always makes teams play 25% longer just won't fly with the players. (Note: I believe this is why Goodell's proposal of extending the season to 17 or 18 games is going to get a lot of backlash from the players unless they get paid a lot more, but that's for another time.)
Another solution that won't (and shouldn't) gain any traction is any variation of the college overtime rules, where each team gets equal possessions starting from a certain yard line. This would skew scoring statistics beyond belief. I know that the NFL doesn't care about all-time numbers like baseball, but fantasy football is a bajillion-dollar-a-year business. Could you imagine losing your fantasy football championship because the other guy's quarterback threw 4 TD's in overtime? I'm fairly certain that the college OT format would cause a rash of fantasy-related murders, and I don't think the NFL wants that on their hands.
The main gripe about the current overtime format is that "the game shouldn't be decided by a coin flip." While this isn't entirely true, I'm betting Peyton Manning and the Colts may agree with that after their playoff loss to the Chargers. If the NFL took away punts in the extra session and kept everything else the same, it would introduce actual strategy to overtime instead of leaving it to the luck of a coin flip.
For instance, let's say the Vikings go into overtime this coming season. Knowing that there are no punts and they would have to go for it on 4th down regardless of field position, would Childress trust T-Jax or RosenCopter to move it down the field enough to not give the opponents an easy field goal? Or would he let Minnesota's vaunted defense go out there and try to shut the other team down and give our mediocre quarterback a short field?
See?!? At the very least it raises the question of deferring to the other team. It's no longer a no-brainer. It's no longer just a coin flip. Just think about it--how much more exciting would it make overtime, knowing that teams have to go for it every fourth down? How much more fun would the blogosphere and talking heads have second-guessing coaches the next day? I truly don't see a downside to this.
Alas, this is probably a pipe dream. NFL owners are stubborn and the league has a very possible work stoppage looming in the near future that will take precedence over any paltry rule changes. But c'mon, at this point, anything is better than all of this Jay Cutler nonsense. We've beaten that dead Bronco enough. (See what I did there? Dead Bronco instead of dead horse? Zing!)

It apparently works best on iPad 4 or iPhone 5, but even if you don't have one of those today, it's a good idea to download this.
I assume that when someone @ Apple comes in to work tomorrow it will be their job to remove this from the App Store (which doesn't allow emulators).
ps - this will be nothing to most of you, but to some of you, it is very exciting.
I created a macro so when I am looking at an article on ATLASerials (ATLAS) I can press one key and it will:
So instead of taking 12 steps, including having to manually copy and paste the title of the article into the Subject field and manually enter my email address, I press cmd+Y (to say "Yes" I want this article, or at least that's how I remember it.)
Boom. Thanks Keyboard Maestro.
I'm guessing this was more productive than anything accomplished by 99% of the people in 99% of the meetings that took place on this day across the world.
* (JavaScript, actually)
…which will let me make my own dashboard, filled with content taken directly by polling the accounts of the people I follow on Tumblr.
It won't have all the fancy features of the Tumblr dashboard. But it will have all of the posts.
And (this is the most important point) I can have it run automatically every X minutes and keep a copy of what it finds, so that at the end of the day I'll be able to see how many posts there were, and who posted them.
Mostly I'm doing this so I can see if I am missing Dashboard posts.
Secondly I'm doing this so I can know that if I miss Tumblr for a day (or more!) it won't be impossible to catch up.
Thirdly, I just figured Lindsay would like another opportunity to call me a nerd.
Did you know that TJ is a huge nerd? (via lindstifa)
TJ: This was entrapment, pure and simple.

HUFFINGTONPOST.COM - In a protest against the school's new dress code, students at Stuyvesant High School in New York City took a stand against the administration. Yesterday, nearly 100 students participated in a student-organized "Slutty Wednesday" protest,according to the New York Post. The students -- both boys and girls -- took to the streets of lower Manhattan in revealing clothing, with flyers that read, "Redress the Dress Code."
The dress code in question bans the exposure of midriffs, visible underwear, shoulders and lower backs, and mandates that the hemlines of all shorts, skirts and dresses fall below the line of the fingertips. It also prohibits students from wearing articles of clothing with images or words deemed inappropriate. click here to read more

Animal & Veterinary
FDA Veterinarian Newsletter July/August 2000 Volume XV, No IV
Last year, a new Division of Epidemiology was created in the CVM's Office of Surveillance and Compliance (OS&C.) Most of the Division staff members previously had been part of OS&C's Division of Epidemiology and Surveillance. William S. Calvert, M.P.H. joined as Division of Epidemiology Director in January 2000.
Over the last ten to fifteen years, there has been increasing recognition of the need for epidemiological expertise within the Center. This new Division was established to be a major contributor to CVM's mission by providing technical and epidemiological support for the regulatory and research activities of the Center. Division scientists serve as consultants to FDA and other Federal and State agencies regarding epidemiological issues such as antimicrobial resistance and tissue residues. Also, the Division of Epidemiology assists in developing regulatory policy and study protocols, overseeing study execution, analyzing and evaluating findings, and training and mentoring epidemiologists for the future. Other Division activities include evaluating surveillance and post-marketing data and initiating appropriate public health actions.
The Division of Epidemiology is unique in CVM since its current funding comes completely from the President's Food Safety Initiative. This is a reflection of the increasing importance of epidemiologic expertise in addressing food safety issues. For example, the Division's growth is linked to the expansion of the National Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring System for enteric bacteria (NARMS-EB). NARMS-EB is an interagency collaboration established between FDA, CDC, and USDA to prospectively monitor trends in antimicrobial resistance of human and animal enteric pathogens. The NARMS-EB program provides descriptive data on the extent and temporal trends of antimicrobial susceptibility in salmonella and other enteric organisms from human and animal populations, facilitates the identification of resistance in humans and animals as it arises, provides timely information to veterinarians and physicians, prolongs the life span of approved drugs by promoting the prudent use of antimicrobial drugs, and identifies areas for more detailed investigation.
In addition to NARMS-EB, other Division activities include working on tissue residues, microbial ecology, and microbiology issues; implementing the concepts laid out in the "Framework" Document ("A Proposed Framework For Evaluating And Assuring The Human Safety Of The Microbial Effects Of Antimicrobial New Animal Drugs Intended For Use In Food-Producing Animals"); and reviewing various regulatory documents and related actions. The Division also is participating in formal risk assessment projects (such as the risk assessment on fluoroquinolone resistance in Campylobacter from poultry); post-approval monitoring programs; committee work at multiple levels, including international efforts; and contributing to the FDA response to foodborne disease outbreaks.
Before joining CVM, Mr. Calvert held a variety of positions both within and outside the government. From late 1989 until he came to CVM, Mr. Calvert was with FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research where he directed a staff that developed information technology solutions and infrastructure in support of pharmacovigilance and pharmacoepidemiology efforts. He received his M.P.H. degree in epidemiology and biostatistics from the University of South Carolina. In an interview with the FDA Veterinarian, Mr. Calvert said that he "looks forward to meeting the many challenges and public health issues that confront us." He continued by saying that "as a new Division we will first have to develop our 'culture' and infrastructure so that it will continue to support the quality tradition of our roots, while still allowing us to increase our numbers and grow into our new responsibilities. Over the next year we will continue with many of our current activities. We will be looking for more and better sources of data, such as the expansion of NARMS-EB, and we will continue to develop and share epidemiological expertise. Finally, we will be looking for new ways to work with others who share our public health goals."
Staff members of the Division of Epidemiology include: Dr. Charles E. Eastin II, Dr. Marcia L. Headrick, Ms. Kathy S. Hemming, Dr. Roger A. Jones, Dr. Joseph C. Paige, Dr. Terry Proescholdt, Dr. Linda E. Silvers, and Ms. Teresa R. Thomas. There are two additional staff members currently on temporary duty assignments within CVM: Dr. Katherine A. Hollinger and Dr. Charlotte D. Spires.

Golfers come in all shapes and sizes, hitting all kinds of shots. But experts say the direction of your ball flight tells a lot about your fitness level.
Short drives are an indication of poor flexibility in your lower body. Tight hips and hamstrings lead to mobility issues when you get older.
"I have worked on that flexibility thing. And I've always been flexible, but my swing never indicated it." says golfer Stan Harms.
Accuracy problems tend to show strength and flexibility issues in your upper body. This could be a looming sign of poor posture and pending arthritis.
"I've got a lot of arthritis in my back in and neck both." says golfer Bob Wenzel.
If your golf swing is all over the place, chances are your core muscles are weak.
Golf Pro Mark Gouger suggests a fitness workout with every lesson.
"Especially if they are taking a series of lessons, I want to make sure they are getting the most out of the series of lessons," says Gouger.
It's not just how you hit the golf ball, but also how you get around the golf course. If you elect to walk, instead of using a golf cart, it will add to your fitness level.
"One of the benefits of playing golf as you get older is to keep exercise and keeping the range of motion and walking is a big benefit to that," says Gouger.
The USGA says walking 18 holes is like taking a four to five mile walk. And then there is the mental side of the game.
"You can tell a lot about a person when you play golf with them," says Gouger.
How do you react after a bad shot, hole or round?
"Take somebody out on the golf course and play golf with them and you'll understand their personality, how they work, how they act, because there is a lot of things in golf that bring that out, even when we don't want it to be brought out," says Gouger.
Sports medicine experts and golf pros say a few simple steps can boost your game. They recommend adding a stretching, core strength and cardio regiments into your workouts.

Learn more about our high-tech solutions in applications.
Fuel oil treatment systems for gas turbine power plants
Power producers operating gas turbine power plants can save enormous costs by installing fuel oil treatment systems in their gas turbine power plants. Efficient treatment of diesel oil, heavy fuel oil and crude oil drastically reduces the gas turbine blades' susceptibility to corrosion. This means the time until the next overhaul is significantly extended.
Overhauling a gas turbine (including power outage) is very cost-intensive. Treatment systems from GEA Westfalia Separator Group therefore protect the core investment of the plant – the gas turbine. If stand-by liquid fuel is used, gas fired power plants also need a fuel oil treatment system from GEA Westfalia Separator Group.
Applications include:
Centrifugal Separation Systems for Diesel Engines
The power generation industry often uses diesel engines that burn heavy fuel oil, crude oil or diesel oil. By supplying separation systems specifically designed for continuous operation under roughest conditions, GEA Westfalia Separator Group provides for optimum power output and a long service life for these engines while taking into consideration the high environmental standards.
Self-cleaning separators with GEA Westfalia Separator unitrolplus systems automatically monitor the water level in the oil and the separation of the solid material "round the clock". As a result, optimum separation efficiency for different fuel and lube oils is ensured. Normally servicing is necessary only after 8000 to 16,000 operating hours.
Surveillance-free operation also reduces personnel costs tremendously. The accumulated oil sludge can be processed directly in the power station, thereby reducing the disposal costs considerably. All separation systems are available as modules. Other ready-to-connect systems are also available as compact units in combination with components such as GEA Westfalia Separator ViscoBoosterUnits (VBU) or plate heat exchangers (PHE).

JACKSON, MS (WLBT) - "It's for the kids. It's not for the adults. It's not to be crazy and try to attack people," said Chris Hester.
Hester says his team of 10 to 12 year olds had just wrapped up a game Sunday afternoon at Liberty Park's soccer fields.
He says he was in his SUV when former Congressman Chip Pickering, whose son plays for the opposing team, approached.
"He proceeds to start yelling at me for saying something to his child. I told him I don't know who your child is, asked him to get out of my car," said Hester.
According to Hester, Pickering became irate and dragged him by the legs from the SUV. After undergoing neck surgery five weeks ago, Hester feared the scuffle would create further damage.
"I had one hand on my neck, trying to protect my brace and the other hand pushing him away, just keeping him away from my face because I didn't want him taking a shot to my head," said Hester.
Pickering's story couldn't be more different. He says coach Hester "verbally abused and physically intimidated" his son. When he went to confront the coach Pickering says Hester came after him.
Pickering described the altercation in a statement, "The coach then opened his door, removed his seatbelt and exited his vehicle, attacking and assaulting me, and I was forced to defend myself by restraining him."
Madison Police are still trying to make out the truth in the matter, interviewing ten witnesses and the men involved before passing it to Municipal Judge Dale Dank's.
"We hope to have it before Judge Dank's within the next couple days once we complete it, but we want to do a thorough job," said Madison Police Master Sgt. Robert Sanders.
Both men have filed simple assault complaints against each other. Pickering has also complained to the Mississippi State Soccer Association and has asked for Hester's immediate suspension.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Sophomore quarterback Anthony Abenoja and junior return specialist John Brown each earned player of the week honors from the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association Monday (Sept. 3) for their play in No. 1 Pitt State's 41-20 season-opening victory over Northeastern State last Thursday (Aug. 30).
Making his first collegiate start, Abenoja established a new Pitt State single game passing record. He was 26 of 36 on the night throwing for 378 yards and three touchdowns, completing 72 percent of his throws.
Abenoja (6-3, 218) tossed an eight-yard touchdown pass to Brown that capped off a 12-play, 87-yards drive on the opening series of the season. The Overland Park, Kan., native added two more scoring passes, including a second connection to Brown.
Brown (5-11, 171) compiled a game high 270 all-purpose yards to help spark the top-ranked Gorillas over the River Hawks. He averaged 29.0 yards on three punt returns, including a 51-yard play, and he had another punt return for a touchdown that was nullified by a running into the kicker penalty.
The Homestead, Fla., native also averaged 21.5 yards per return on two kickoffs, and he caught a game-high nine passes for 140 yards and a pair of touchdowns for the Gorillas.

If a person dies in a hospital or institution, their details are forwarded to the population register and other authorities. A death certificate is also sent to the near relative. If the death occurs suddenly – for example, at home – the police should be informed. They will determine the cause of death and inform other authorities about the circumstances. Relatives should also inform the bank, post office and insurance companies of the person's death. The contents of the will are made known to those who stand to inherit.
The widow/widower and children of the deceased may be entitled to a survivors' pension, for example. If a Finnish citizen dies abroad, the Finnish authorities must be notified.
Missing persons can be declared dead through a judicial decision. Relatives are not obliged to seek a declaration, and there is no deadline for making an application.

Well whaddya know—it's a day for celebrity hair changes! Or maybe, I have a big deadline (or three) and I'm procrastinating having to start writing. So much easier to blog, non?
On that note, just came across this pic of Miss Drew Barrymore with some brand new hair extensions. I love the longer length on her (fits in so well with her hippie vibe) BUT they do look a bit mismatched, colour-wise.
What do YOU think of Drew's new hair extensions?

Bus crashes into Boston overpass, 33 people hurt
First responders assist injured passengers from a charter bus that crashed in Boston Saturday night. (REUTERS/Boston Fire Dept./Handout)
The crash happened about 7:30 p.m. on Soldiers Field Road in Boston, according to Boston Emergency Medical Services spokeswoman Jennifer Mehigan.
Medical workers took 33 people to four area hospitals - 28 with minor injuries and five with serious injuries, Mehigan said. Some people had to be removed through the bus roof and strapped onto backboards, according to the Boston Fire Department's Twitter feed.
"A number of patients were trapped at some point during the incident," said Mehigan.
All of the victims had been removed from the bus by about 9:30 p.m. She said the fire department had to remove part of the roof of the private Calvary Coach charter bus to perform the rescues.
The bus was carrying high school students and adult chaperones from the Philadelphia area, according to Massachusetts State Police. The students had been in the Boston area to visit Harvard.
Authorities are investigating whether charges are warranted in crash. The bus driver was believed to have missed a sign prohibiting the bus from that road, according to state police.

The Levy Report, which provides a legal argument in support of West Bank
settlements, will be debated in the Knesset Constitution, Law and Justice
Committee next week, committee chairman David Rotem announced on
The report was delivered to Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu in
July 2012, as well as to members of the Ministerial Committee on
Neither the committee nor the government ever adopted
Penned by a three-person judicial panel with former Supreme Court
justice Edmund Levy at its head, the report also argued that West Bank outposts
should be legalized when possible, particularly if they were built on state
A political campaign to push the government to adopt the report
petered out after Netanyahu was elected to a third term as prime minister in
January 2013.
"It's our duty to ensure that Justice Levy's report is
adopted by the government," Rotem said on Tuesday.
He added that its
passage would repair the damage that had resulted from private attorney Talia
Sasson's initial government commission report on West Bank outposts, which the
government received in March 2005.
Her report focused on the creation of
illegal outposts and argued for their removal.
In contrast, the Levy
report seeks to authorize them and normalize the treatment of land issues in the
West Bank as much as possible.
The Constitution, Law and Justice
Committee debate may be able to shine a political spotlight on the report, but
cannot advance it legally.
New legislation on settlement building would
need Netanyahu's support and the initial approval of the Ministerial Legislative
Since entering office, Netanyahu has rejected the option of
dealing with issues of Jewish building in the West Bank through Knesset
legislation, preferring instead to use existing mechanisms.
