Asbestos News
Researcher unspools history of U.S. asbestos use, restrictionThe history of U.S. asbestos use might seem to date back to the early 1900s, when the Industrial Era allowed manufacturers to use the mineral for all sorts of fireproofing and insulation. However, one New York population health experts recently said that its use (and thus, occupational asbestos exposure) dates back at least 50 years further.
Hyun Kim, of the Hofstra North Shore-Long Island Jewish School of Medicine, said so at this year's International Congress on Occupational Health (ICOH).
He stated that the earliest industrial use of asbestos in the U.S. occurred in 1858, at the Johns' Company of New York.
Big asbestos, Big Apple
Kim is no stranger to New York-area asbestos exposure. In December 2011, he released a report estimating that, among 9/11 first responders in New York City, the rate of asthma was more than double the national average.
"This is the first study to directly quantify the magnitude of asthma among WTC responders," said Hyun Kim, who is also an epidemiologist.
In his new presentation, delivered at the ICOH conference in Cancun, Mexico, he listed off many "firsts" of industrial asbestos use and management in the U.S.
For instance, Kim explained that though American asbestos use began in earnest in 1858, it took more than 100 years for anyone to first seriously suggest banning or restricting it.
This is in spite of the fiber's known dangers. According to Barry Castleman's book Asbestos: Medical and Legal Aspects, at the turn of the 20th century, British civil servant and Lady Inspector of Factories Adelaide Anderson revealed a clear understanding that asbestos exposure caused some of the worst afflictions among textiles factory workers.
Yet it wasn't until the 1960s that a South African doctor, Chris Wagner, and later a New York physician, Irving J. Selikoff, posited a direct link between asbestos exposure and mesothelioma.
After that, many more firsts
Kim noted that Wagner and Selikoff set off a firestorm of asbestos-restricting activity. The latter found the Division of Environmental and Occupational Medicine at Mount Sinai Medical Center.
He also helped establish the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) establish the first permissible exposure limit for asbestos - i.e. one and a half fibers per cubic centimeter (cc) per hour. OSHA has since lowered that limit threefold, to half a fiber per cc per hour.
Kim also noted a few other remarkable firsts:
1973 - The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) bans spray-on asbestos insulation.
1979 - The agency tries, and fails, to ban the fiber entirely.
1989 - Finally, the EPA enacts the asbestos "ban and phase out" rule, which would limit or eliminate 94 percent of asbestos-related products. Unfortunately, a Fifth Circuit Court ruling mitigated some of the strength of this rule, allowing asbestos to remain in limited use today, Kim concluded.

UTMB offers to amend biolab information bill
By Laura Elder — Galveston County Daily News, May 12, 2009
GALVESTON Acknowledging a bill it supports could forbid the release of any information about deadly pathogens at the Galveston National Laboratory, University of Texas Medical Branch officials asked lawmakers Monday to strike the word "confidential" from the proposed legislation.
But open government advocates argue the concession does little to improve Senate Bill 2556, which they say would allow the medical branch and other state laboratories to withhold any information about so-called select agents, including about accidental infections.
The move to tweak the bill's language came as island neighborhood groups and some elected city officials were gearing up to oppose it.
By removing the word "confidential," the medical branch is working to show it continues to be transparent in its operations at the laboratory, officials said.
"The message is that we are ensuring our ability to maintain transparency we worked so hard to establish," said Dr. James LeDuc, deputy director of the national laboratory, where researchers plan to develop drugs and vaccines to battle infectious disease, including deadly germs.
Opponents of the proposed legislation, including the Texas Press Association, the Texas Daily Newspaper Association and the Freedom of Information Foundation of Texas, aren't opposed to measures that protect security-sensitive information, they said. Texas laws already protect information that would be dangerous in the wrong hands, they said.
What they're fighting is language in the bill that states "Information that pertains to a biological agent or toxin as defined in federal law is confidential and exempted from" disclosure requirements.
Medical branch officials openly discuss what they're researching at the laboratory, fulfilling a pledge they made to residents when they sought community support for the Galveston National Laboratory.
But the bill's broad language could prohibit the medical branch from providing the public with information about the germs researchers study or who was studying them.
Striking the word "confidential" could protect the medical branch, which owns and operates the national laboratory, should it choose to provide information to the public, opponents said.
But the proposed legislation would leave it up to the medical branch's discretion to make information public, critics said.
"The change in language does not appear to change the effect of the bill," said Joe Larsen, an attorney and board member of the Freedom Information Foundation of Texas.
"The only thing the change arguably accomplishes is that UTMB will not be in breach of the law if they voluntarily release information pertaining to select agents."
Medical branch officials and the bill's author, state Sen. Joan Huffman, argue the proposed legislation is meant to protect the identity of people and the location of the agents, not to shield information.
But some island residents said they're worried about the bill and its implications.
"If you lose your watchdog position, then the biolab folks will be less responsible for their commitment to the island," said Ralph McMorris, an island resident who owns cocktail mix maker Lt. Blender's, a business on the East End near the medical branch campus.
McMorris, also vice president and president elect of Galveston Alliance of Island Neighborhoods, said he was never comfortable with building such a laboratory on the island. But medical branch officials made assurances, he said.
The alliance, which includes about 30 island neighborhoods as members, has not taken a formal position on the bill.
But McMorris sent e-mails to members Monday encouraging them to contact their representatives about the bill.
Promises by medical branch officials they would continue to be open, even if the bill doesn't require them to do so, isn't good enough, McMorris said.
"Six months or a year from now, they're going to forget those promises and platitudes," McMorris said. "It's going to be whatever the law is. That's the way it's going to be run."
Meanwhile, District 3 Councilwoman Elizabeth Beeton put an item on Thursday's city council agenda, seeking a resolution opposing the bill.
District 1 Councilman Tarris Woods provided the second to put the resolution on the agenda.
Removing the word "confidential" from the bill doesn't allay her concerns, Beeton, also an attorney, said.
"The legal effect of the bill is the same," Beeton said. "They'll still be excepted from the obligation they release information."

Yo Eli, I was thinking about writing an awesome Fanpost about the awesomest team in the awesomest professional football league and why there's no doubt they are going to have the most awesome season because it's boring as hell around here, and someone needs to put a little awesome sauce on these ribs. What say you to that?
That's what I thought Jigga Boo. Let's peek into Pandora's Box.
The following is a list of statistically flawless deductions that are are without question, 100%, lock it up going to happen over the course of the 2011 New York Giants football season (unless they don't).
The New York Giants will start the season 6-2 or better.
Since 2005, the New York Giants have compiled a 36-12 record in the first eight games over the last six seasons, starting the season off 6-2 or better every year SVACB* in that time. Oft criticized as a team that is wildly inconsistent, not too many franchises have seen the same success in the first half of seasons that the Giants have on such a regular basis. Looking at the schedule, and noticing that the Giants start the season with six of its first eight games against teams that did not manage to post a .500 record last year, even mere simpletons could gather the Giants will get off to another hot start.
The New York Giants will have a Top 10 Defense, while sacking mad amounts of quarterbacks.
Since 2007, the Giants have finished 7th or better in total defense SVACB. While turnovers, rushing defense, and passing defense have not been consistently great or terrible over the course of the last four seasons, one stat has shined through. The Giants finish 6th or better in total sacks every single year since 2007 SVACB, doing it a total of four times out of the last six seasons. With JPP coming on strong towards the end of last year, that's only one more wild man for opposing quarterbacks to have nightmares about on an already stout front four. Sacks will no doubt be plentiful. With that in mind, taking into consideration the Giants added depth at key positions in the draft, and now having Perry Fewell's scheme one year under their belts, a top 10 defense is what us Giants fans will again be treated to in 2011.
The New York Giants will be in the playoff hunt.
Some teams suck. It just happens. The Raiders for example, have only posted one season better than 5-11 since 2003. Consistent suck. Thankfully, since 2005 the New York Giants have avoided the suck like the plague. Every year since 2005 they have been a large player in the playoff picture SVACB. Last year, while the Giants did not make the playoffs, they compiled a 10-6 record and were once again in the hunt. Making the playoffs in four of the last six seasons, and flirting with the Wild Card last year its easy to see that with Tom Coughlin at Head Coach, and Eli Manning at quarterback this team will always have a shot at the Post-Season, and in turn a shot at a fourth Super Bowl title. Speaking of Eli Manning...
Eli Manning will start every game, take more sacks, throw more touchdowns, and frustrate you.
Eli Manning is Mr. Consistent. He has started 103 consecutive games (110 when counting the playoffs), has thrown for over 3200 yards, and over 20 touchdowns every year since becoming the full time starter in New York. Over the last three years his touchdown totals have gone up, up, and up again. Going from 21 in 2008, to 27 in 2009, to 31 in 2010. A trend that shows no signs of slowing down, especially when taking into considering the retarded number of injured wide receivers he had to deal with last year. His turnover numbers might scare an uneducated few, but one glaring statistic stands out. Eli Manning had never been sacked less than 25 times in a full season before last year, when he was sacked a league fewest 16 times. Coughlin hopes for Eli to take a few more sacks, he will oblige to bring that number closer to his previous career average of 27.4, leading to less forced throws, and less turnovers. This is not to say there will not be forced throws, left handed passes, and idiotic tosses into double coverage. There will be those as well, because it's Eli God Damn Gunslinger Manning and he does what he wants.
The schedule says five, but there's actually six.
To the untrained eye it would appear that the G-Men finish the season with five of their last seven games coming at home. The more savvy fanatic will quickly realize that on December the 11th at 8:20 pm the Giants play somewhere called "Cowboys Stadium". This is an obvious mis-print as last year "Cowboys Stadium" was re-named the New New Meadowlands Stadium. Since it's opening in 2009, the Giants have posted a 2-0 record, putting up an incredible 74 points in those two games. Led by Eli Manning's 634 yards and six touchdowns, Steve Smith's 19 catches for 233 yards and two touchdowns, and Mario Manningham's 13 catches for 190 yards and two touchdowns, the offense has made themselves right at home in the Meadowlands South. Not to be completely outdone, the defense has added three interceptions, three sacks, and two forced fumbles in those two games. If ever there were a "road game" to play in December, this be the one.
The New York Giants will sweep the Philadelphia Eagles.
Obviously the Giants have not done well against the Eagles in recent years, not having defeated them since November 9th, 2008. What the fluck has happened? How on earth have the Eagles been able to consistently squeak by the obviously superior New York Giants on such a consistent basis? You can dig, dig, and dig all you want through all of the statistics that your little internets will bring, but this answer is far more obvious than any number can provide. It falls under the human condition. Prior to November 9th, 2008 only one dramatic change had occurred to the Giants roster, and that is the absence of one Plaxico Burress. Plaxico was an Eagle killer, always finding his way to the back of the end zone in crucial moments of the game. Prior to the loss of Burress the Giants were a comfortable 5-1 against the Eagles dating back to 2005, and showed no signs of slowing down. However, it is obvious that the team had become so stricken with grief once Plaxico was sent to prison, they could not fully escape the negative thoughts of their fellow friend and team mate behind bars every time they faced off against the inferior squad from the Philly. When Michael Vick was added to the Eagles roster, this only compounded the problem as they couldn't get past what they felt was a very unfair situation regarding their individual sentences. Now that Plaxico is free from his cell, the Giants can rest easy knowing their friend is once again working, and providing for his family. With this grief gorilla of of their back, they will no doubt get back to the domination of Philadelphia we had become used prior to that unfortunate incident in 2008.
*Season Value-adjusted for C.C. Brown
There you have it Giants fans. You can lock these up, throw away the key, and take it to the bank.

Like Bud said during his excellent evisceration of the 'Cane's article, "Ain't much happening with FSU Football...which is a GOOD thing!" So just to pass the time during this "dead period" before preseason mags come out, I thought it would be a fun discussion to see what my fellow TN regulars would think about some off-the-wall predictions for the upcoming season.... I can't help but imagine certain "possibilities".... so what's your thoughts? "No Chance".... "Maybe! I could see it happening"... or "Bank on it!"
Offense Crazy Predictions.... (I'm not actually predicting all these, btw)
1. EJ Manuel sets a single game FSU "Passing/Rushing" record. Not 100% sure of the accuracy, but I believe the record is Charlie in 1992 vs. Maryland with 305 passing and 111 rushing.
2. Chris Thompson becomes our first 1,000 yard rusher in 15 years
3. EJ Manuel sets a single game completion percentage record going 90% to beat Danny Kannell's record 87.5% put up against NC State in 1995
4. Rodney Smith becomes our first 1,000 yard receiver since Andre Cooper in 1995
5. We have a 300 yard passing/300 yard rushing game as a team.
6. We have 4 games scoring 50 or more
Defense Crazy Predictions
1. We have a multiple Pick Six game by Greg Reid to set an FSU record.
2. We have 3 shutouts
3. Jenkins, Carradine and Werner combine for 30 sacks or more (Wilson and Boulware combined for 32.5 in 1996)
4. We have a game with 3 non-offensive scores
5. We give up less than 14 points per game on the season
6. We give up less than 100 ypg rushing
Crazy Special Teams
1. We have a kickoff return for a TD
2. We execute a fake field goal for a TD
3. Dustin Hopkins wins the Groza
Just some fun things to think about....

East Texans honored every soldier who has served and all of those who were lost on Saturday.
Members of the Vietnam veterans association and VFW gathered for the ceremony at Lakeview cemetery in Longview for the 'Missing Man Muster.'
"My stepfather was a world war two veteran. we have to remember our servicemen for the service they provided for our country. We need to remember those who paid that ultimate sacrifice and did not come home and be fathers and grandfathers," says Lakeview director Bill Wright.
With military precision, at exactly 11:11 a.m., symbolic of the end of the first world war, a flag was placed on each veterans grave by volunteers.
"We owe the people out here a lot of gratitude, and I'm here to express mine," says Vietnam veteran Robert Sterrett.
"It's and honor to be here today to give tribute to fallen heroes and those that served," says Vietnam combat medic John Cooper of Jefferson.
For some, it is bestowing honors never bestowed to them.
"Coming back from Vietnam our mission is to make sure no one else comes back and gets the treatment we did," Sterrett says.
The slow hand salute was executed as taps was played.
"Every life is worth loving and remembering always , and the sacrifices that not only these men made but their families made," Wright says.
A reminder of the price of freedom.
"I thank God for their service and say say a small prayer for their family," Wright says.
The flags will remain on the veterans graves at Lakewood throughout the weekend.

Bank of England gloomy growth predictions
The Bank of England has warned that economic growth will remain below pre-financial crisis levels for at least the next three years, and could shrink in the final three months of the year.
The Governor of the Bank of England delivered his gloomy outlook as he presented the Bank's latest quarterly inflation report. Economics Editor Richard Edgar reports:
The economy grew 1% in the third quarter, bringing the longest double-dip recession since the 1950s to a close, but experts warned the underlying picture was bleak.
Sir Mervyn said the figures gave an "overly optimistic impression" and were not "a reliable guide to the future". He said:
Continuing the recent zig-zag pattern, output growth is likely to fall back sharply in the fourth quarter as the boost from the Olympics in the summer is reversed - indeed, output may shrink a little this quarter.
Sir Mervyn said student tuition fees and rises in energy bills were to blame for rising inflation, and said he expected inflation to fall back towards the Government's 2% target later than expected.
Labour said today's "sobering report highlighted the Government's "failing policies"
This sobering report shows why David Cameron and George Osborne's deeply complacent approach to the economy is so misplaced. Their failing policies have seen two years of almost no growth and the Bank of England is now forecasting lower growth and higher inflation than just a few months ago. The complacent thing for the Government to do now is simply sit back and hope things will get better, but the cautious approach would be to act now to secure and strengthen our economic recovery. Britain needs a plan to create the jobs and growth we need to get deficits down.

Regal bear to be sold for Children in Need
11:00am Sunday 18th November 2012 in News
A BEAR which won first prize in the National Teddy Bear Artists' Awards is to be sold to raise cash for Children in Need.
The bear, a one-off made by Jacqui Wickenden, won the contest.
The bear on sale is crafted in top quality white alpaca, and was made especially for Class 9 of the 2012 National Teddy Bear Artists' Awards to commemorate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.
The bear, which would normally cost around £595 to buy, is depicted wearing a handmade satin and lace diamond jubilee gown adorned with royal regalia, including the Order of the Garter taken from the official portrait of the Queen.
The bear will be accompanied by her NTBAA First Prize trophy and a copy of the magazine in which the 2012 NTBAA Results were published.
The auction is taking place on eBay.

text: Looking for some input about neighborhoods, schools, house prices etc. I work for the Federal Reserve Bank in Philadelphia and am exploring a transfer to the STL Fed. I have two daughters, 5 and 2. We live in a $300K rowhome in West Philadelphia, close to UPenn but also a 'borderline' neighborhood, with its share of blight and crime. My wife and I would love to find an area that is in or very close to the city, but with an opportunity for good schools and greenspace in the same $300K price range.. What are our options? Where should I start my search?

The tree was down and cut to lengths, the sections spread and jumbled over the grass. There was a stocky man with three fingers bound up in a dirty bandage with a splint. With him were a Negro and a young man, the three of them gathered about the butt of the tree. The stocky man laid aside the saw and he and the Negro took hold of the piece of fence and strained and grunted until they got the log turned over. The man got to one knee and peered into the cut. We best come in this way, he said. The Negro picked up the crosscut and he and the man began sawing again. They sawed for a time and then the man said, Hold it. Goddamn, that',s it again. They stopped and lifted the blade from the cut and peered down into the tree. Uh-huh, said the Negro. It sho is now, ain't it?
The young man came over to see. Here, said the man, look sideways here. See? He looked. All the way up here? he said. Yep, the man said. He took hold of the twisted wrought-iron, the mangled fragment of the fence, and shook it. It didn't shake. It's growed all through the tree, the man said. We cain't cut no more on it. Damned old elum's bad enough on a saw.
The Negro was nodding his head. Yessa, he said. It most sholy has. Growed all up in that tree.

ALBERT Einstein was three or four years old before he could speak and seven before he could read, and slouched his way through school. He also had some trouble remembering his address -
Later he saw that light travels as both a wave and as particles called quanta, mostly because it has to ... And Einstein also got rid of the ether as a valid concept of physics. And he went on to find that Light had mass, and space and time were simply space-time - and the universe might be shaped like a saddle.
After Einstein emigrated to the United States in 1933, his every bon mot was duly recorded, and his personal quirks, such as very rarely wearing socks, were eagerly added to a fast-growing legend about the Einstein, and no longer Einstein the physicist.
Einstein's famous absentmindedness was not always so benign. In fact, he was unkind to his first wife, the physicist Mileva Maric, and at best distant with his second wife, cousin Elsa, and their son.
Below are some Albert Einstein anecdotes. A few of them may be apocrypical. Some may work for our good.
Albert Einstein Timeline
Albert Einstein Anecdotes
OTTO Neugebauer, the historian of ancient mathematics, told a story about the boy Einstein
that he characterises as a "legend," but that seems fairly authentic.)
Greatly relieved, his parents asked why he had never said a word before.
Albert replied, "Because up to now everything was in order."
EINSTEIN came to Princeton University in 1935 and was asked what he would require for his study. he replied: "A desk, some pads and a pencil, and a large wastebasket to hold all of my mistakes."
ONCE Einstein sent this reply, along with a page full of diagrams, to a fifteen-year-old girl who had written for help on a homework assignment:
"Do not worry about your difficulties in mathematics; I can assure you that mine are much greater."
RIVERSIDE Church in Manhattan planned to put up statues of the eight most famous scientists who ever lived, according to their liking. Einstein was included. When asked how it felt to be an "immortalized" living scientist in this way, Einstein answered,
"From now on, and for the rest of my life, I must be very careful not to commit a scandal."
SPEAKING at the Sorbonne during the 1930s, Einstein said, "If my relativity theory is verified, Germany will proclaim me a German and France will call me a citizen of the world. But if my theory is proved false, France will emphasize that I am a German and Germany will say that I am a Jew."
EINSTEIN went to look at a kibbutz while on a visit to Palestine in 1921. He asked many questions of the 22-year-old girl who was head of the young community. One question was,
"What is the relationship here of men to women?"
Thinking that he was one of the many visitors who thought that women were common property in the kibbutz, she stammered, very embarrassed,
"But, Herr Professor, each man here has one woman."
Einstein's eyes twinkled. He took the girl's hand and said,
"Don't be alarmed at my question - by 'relationship' we physicists understand something rather simple, namely how many men are there and how many women."
EINSTEIN was asked by his hostess at a social gathering to explain his theory of relativity. Said the great mathematician,
"Madam, I was once walking in the country on a hot day with a blind friend, and said that I would like a drink of milk."
"Milk?" said my friend, "Drink I know; but what is milk?"
"A white liquid," I replied.
"Liquid I know; but what is white?"
"The colour of a swan's feathers."
"Feathers I know; what is a swan?"
"A bird with a crooked neck."
"Neck I know; but what is this crooked?"
"Thereupon I lost patience. I seized his arm and straightened it. "That's straight," I said; and then I bent it at the elbow. "That's crooked."
"Ah!" said the blind man, "Now I know what you mean by milk!" [Of]
THE CLASSICAL scholar Gilbert Murray one day encountered Einstein sitting in the quadrangle of Christ Church, Oxford. The exiled scientist was deep in thought, with a serene and cheerful expression on his face. Murray asked him what he was thinking about.
"I am thinking that, after all, this is a very small star," Einstein answered.
ONE DAY during his tenure as a professor, Albert Einstein was visited by a student. "The questions on this year's exam are the same as last year's!" the young man exclaimed.
"Yes," Einstein answereed, "but this year all the answers are different."
THE SCULPTOR Jacob Epstein tells this story:
"Were I wrong," he said, "one professor would have been enough." [Of]
EINSTEIN'S wife was once asked if she understood her husband's theory of relativity.
"No," she replied loyally, "but I know my husband and I know he can be trusted."
EINSTEIN once declared that his second greatest idea after the theory of relativity was to add an egg while cooking soup in order to produce a soft-boiled egg without having an extra pot to wash.
IN 1931 Charlie Chaplin invited Albert Einstein, who was visiting Hollywood, to a private screening of his new film City Lights. As the two men drove into town together, passersby waved and cheered. Chaplin turned to his guest and explained:
"The people are applauding you because none of them understands you and applauding me because everybody understands me."
IN 1898, young Albert Einstein applied for admission to the Munich Technical Institute and was turned down. The young man, the Institute declared, "showed no promise" as a student. By 1905, he had formulated his special theory of relativity.
SIR WILLIAM Rothenstein was in Berlin doing a portrait of Einstein. The mathematician was always accompanied to the studio by a solemn, academic looking individual who sat in a corner throughout the sittings. Einstein, not wishing to waste any time, was putting forth certain tentative theories, to which the silent companion replied only by an occasional nod or shake of the head. When the work was concluded, Rothenstein, who was curious, asked Einstein who his companion was.
"That's my mathematician," said Einstein, "who examines problems which I put before him and checks their validity. You see, I am not myself a good mathematician . . ." [Of]
SHORTLY after the publication of Einstein's general theory of relativity in 1915, the Russian mathematician Alexander Friedmann was surprised to discover that Einstein had failed to notice a remarkable prediction made by his equations: that the universe is expanding. This prediction was later confirmed by observations made by Edwin Hubble in the 1920s.
The cause of Einstein's oversight? He had made a stupid error in his calculations: He had divided by zero, which amounts to a big "sin" in mathematics.
"WHEN I was young I found out that the big toe always ends up making a hole in a sock," Einstein once recalled. "So I stopped wearing socks."
ONE OF Einstein's colleagues asked him for his telephone number one day. Einstein reached for a telephone directory and looked it up. "You don't remember your own number?" the man asked, startled.
"No," Einstein answered. "Why should I memorize something I can so easily get from a book?"
In fact, Einstein claimed never to memorize anything which could be looked up in less than two minutes.

Why are we there?
- Endemic/Epidemic disease
Our work
This is an excerpt from MSF's 2012 International Activity Report:
Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the most serious public health challenges facing Cambodia.
In Kampong Cham hospital, MSF offers treatment for both drug-sensitive and drug-resistant TB (DR-TB). DR-TB is much harder to treat because it is a form of the disease against which first-line drug regimens have failed.
A priority is to improve detection of the disease and actively look for and test people who may have it. MSF invites individuals patients have had contact with, such as family members, to be tested, and works with hospital staff, particularly in the pediatric ward, to identify patients who may have TB.
The team carries out regular awareness-raising activities to help increase knowledge and understanding of TB and reduce the stigma surrounding the disease.
These activities, as well as the completion of a new laboratory, have all contributed to a significant growth in patient numbers. Each month MSF staff now conduct around 1,000 consultations inside Kampong Cham hospital's TB ward.
The team also makes home visits to DR-TB patients who have difficulty getting to the hospital, and a telephone hotline is available for anyone with an urgent inquiry. The overall number of patients is expected to double in 2013.
Handover of services in Phnom Penh prisons
Since February 2010, MSF has been working in three prisons in the capital Phnom Penh. Teams provide care and treatment for HIV and TB. The program is in the process of being handed over to a number of national organizations. Most support will stop by July 2013, although staff will remain to care for patients with HIV.
At the end of 2012, MSF had 129 staff in Cambodia. MSF has been working in the country since 1979.
Patient story
"In the beginning of my DR-TB treatment I suffered bad side effects like fever, dizziness, headaches and abdominal pain – it was very hard. I wanted to stop the treatment but, when I saw the other patients trying, I wanted to continue, even though it was so difficult.
"MSF people come to my house often to talk with me and check how my four children are. They also bring me food sometimes; if I don't have enough food to eat, I get really unwell and the side effects are worse.
"The village nurse comes every day to give me drugs and see how I am doing."
* The patient's name has been changed

Switching My Sister In-law To Linux
About a month ago my brother in-law came to me with his wife's "dead" Windows XP computer. The computer would not boot at all. After a successful POST, the system would just sit there, unable to find any bootable media. I was asked if I could recover their files for them. Outside of that, they didn't want to put any money into the computer. They were thinking about getting a Mac.
I told them that as long as there wasn't a serious hard drive failure, I could probably get all of their files. I figured I could boot the system to a Live CD and backup the files to my USB hard drive. Read more

Is there some reason you wouldn't contact area senior centers; synagogues; assisted living communities like Reutslinger in Danville??
This shouldn't be difficult. Those are modern [recent] blinds in the windows.

If no one comes forward I'd love to make sure they aren't just destroyed....

While the blinds look modern the date on the picture is 1999 so it might be a tough search. I applaud the effort to find the family - I know that I'd be very appreciative!

Looks like a recent photo. Is it just me, or does the enlarged picture of the gentleman have a strong resemblance to Jack Benny? Hope someone will come forward.

What Sweetie Pies! I would take the treasure box to a local Rav and ask for advice on how to proceed.
on Apr 15, 2009 at 3:05 pm
One possibility. My wife tells me during the holocaust suitcases with a families dearest possessions were often given by jewish families to gentiles before they were shipped off. Possibly the photo could be of one of those recipients...who had nothing else to do with the suitcase if the family was lost.

Hello fellow fans,
I wanted to address something I have been seeing a lot more of, especially as of lately. Firstly though, I want to state I am not old enough to have witnessed at an adult age any of the real successful Redskins seasons, aside maybe the '99 season. I still remember Brian Mitchell stiff arming Martin Gramatica on that kick return against Tampa Bay (I believe that was '99, still during the Norv era.) At any rate, I've seen nothing but failure from the team, but like everyone I still retain the same hope year in and year out that the team will figure it out. This bring me to the current scenario.
I see the team very simply. To succeed in today's NFL, you need a legitimate franchise QB. Peyton Manning, Eli Manning, Tony Romo, Ben Roth., Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Aaron Rodgers. All of these guys are legitimate franchise QBs. Not only are they franchise QBs it would be debatable that they all are considered the 'Face Of The Organization'. These men lead their teams, through wins, losses, etc. We need this type of QB to be successful. The last time we had a franchise-type QB may go as far back as Joe Theisman (id have to check, pre-90s I get kind of grey). At any rate, you cannot count the Mark Rypiens and the Doug Williams. Mostly our team's success has been based on scrappy guys that come in and get the job done, pretty or not. This type of play I just don't believe can be reliably successful in the NFL anymore, teams are too 'perfect'. The two big stunners that I can recall this past year are maybe the Giants, while somewhat scrappy, plagued with injury, but the key here is the franchise QB. Eli led game winning drives week after week throughout the season, there is nobody id like to have on my team more in a clutch position, I'm not a fanboy, but you can't deny that.
This emphasizes the need for the franchise QB. I didn't dig the Peyton deal, that was the old Redskins, they may as well have picked up the phone and called Jeff George. The RGIII deal is more of them yearning to get back into the times. I still have faith in Shanahan. I may not have been old enough to witness the original Gibbs era, however I am old enough to have witnessed John Elway and Leatherface dominate in Denver. The skill is there, even after the Elway era, Shanahan still developed some great talent coming out of Denver. Everywhere from Terrell Davis to Clinton Portis. If I remember correctly, he was with Denver when we gave them Champ Bailey (dumbest move ever) for Clinton Portis.
The way I see the offense this year, RG3 at QB. We keep Santana, pick up a big quick FA wide receiver (Vjax, Colston, Bowe, Etc). I liked Stevie Johnson above all of them though but buffalo resigned him. Then use Gaffney/Hankerson/Stallworth as the depth or bring in some younger players and force them to compete. A good balanced mix of experience and youth, also gives RG3 ALOT of targets, and all different types. The line in my opinion while needing a bit of work, we aren't as bad as everyone is saying. Everyone keeps crying oline this oline that. The franchise QB is just as equally as important, so pissing on Shanahan and Co. for making a drastic move in an effort to improve (our) team is not the right way to go, let it play out before you go bashing. By the time it all develops and we see what happens, it could turn out either way, its the nature of the game. What troubles me the most about this situation though is while we did well on the ground last year in terms of rushing, it was all outside the tackles if I remember the stats right, we didn't do very well at all up the middle. This needs to be fixed. Our backfield and tight ends are absolutely great. We have such a blend of depth and versatility between Hightower/Helu/Royster + Fred Davis/Cooley (If we keep him.).
The defense is in an interesting situation, on paper our D is fairly solid. I like it as it stands. I'd say give D. Hall and Landry maybe 1 more year, but if they want out or they fail, cut them/trade them, whatever. We probably wont be able to switch out everything everywhere here immediately. London Fletcher obviously needs to be resigned, we can't break up the Kerrapko tandem after only its first year, if we keep swapping people in and out at a lot of these positions like we have been its going to keep the team from gelling well.
I think if our offense steps up their game with all the weapons about to be in play there, and with a lynchpin franchise QB, that's intelligent and probably one of the fastest men if not the fastest man in the NFL. Over the next year or two we are going to become an offensive powerhouse, with a Ravens/Steelers quality D. Very similar to the Denver of the old days, Defense made of steel and an Offense that just buries people. Which is unique to have, because a lot of teams out there now a days are successful with just one or the other, we'll have both. So get back on the bandwagon for whats going to be an incredibly interesting season.
You'll love this.

Traditional Korean short ribs are marinated in a sweet soy sauce and grilled to perfection.
Greetings from San Francisco! Jason and I had a rough couple of days but we are finally settling in our new home. Our place is a mess with at least 20 lingering boxes but I'm loving our new place. It's a bit east of San Francisco in the suburbs so we can stay away from the congestion and traffic of the city but we're still close enough to take the Bart to explore the city and scope out all of the new foodie places on my list.
But before I stay up all night unpacking and organizing the house, I have to share this recipe for Korean short ribs. It's surprisingly so easy to make, requiring just a simple marinade overnight. And when you're ready to eat, just throw these babies on the grill to your desired doneness and serve. It's that easy! Not to mention, so much cheaper to make it right at home than eating out – it can get quite expensive!
You can get the full recipe here over at Imperial Sugar!

The fact that the Mets hired Sandy Alderson to be their new General Manager brings me hope as a Mets fan. For an organization that has made so many puzzling decisions as far back as I can remember, the Mets seem to have gotten it right this time. There's no guarantee that Sandy will turn the Mets around, get them back to the playoffs or achieve his – and every GM's – goal of winning a World Series. But the vast majority of what he said on Day One was encouraging.
What's amazed me about the Mets' fan base is that the hiring of Alderson has served as a bit of a lightning rod for the "sabermetrics vs. scouting/old-school" debate. A lot of the comments being thrown about on blogs, Twitter and WFAN about the whole thing made me think: why the hell are people resistant to statistical analysis as an integral part of building a successful baseball team?
In college, I had an English professor for a basic college writing class, one of those core classes that everyone had to take but barely anyone took seriously. He basically opened up the class by saying that everything we'd been taught in school about the English language was bullshit.
There were rules, he said, that were drilled into our heads to prevent us from making mistakes. And one of them was that you couldn't start a sentence with the word and. That may sound like a small thing, but it opened my mind. When it came to writing, we'd learned the basics and gone through school systems which may have varied in quality but didn't stray too far from the standard approach when it came to teaching kids how to write.
I'm thrilled that I took that class for two reasons: it drastically improved my confidence in and ability to write, and it was a tangible exercise in challenging things that seemed set in stone for nearly two decades. In our own minds, we'd all like to think we're rebels who question everything that's presented to us, but the grand majority of us – people, that is – don't experience that on a regular basis.
How the hell does this relate to baseball, you ask?
As kids, we learned the basics of how to play the game from parents and coaches who were devoted as hell to teaching us how to play the game. From the basic fundamentals of hitting a ball on a tee and catching it through playing in high school, the focus was on how to play the game. Most of us measured our successes and failures through all those years in the "hits-for-at-bats, # of RBI" format.
After high school, possibly earlier than that, most of us stopped playing baseball, and there was no core class with a professor who was going to make the grandiose statement that everything we had learned about baseball statistics was bullshit.
The word "everything" was, of course, an exaggeration in the English class I took, and it'd be an exaggeration if someone came out and said it about baseball, too. There were fundamental aspects of both subjects that we learned that would be applicable to the best writers and baseball players the world had to offer. The message in that English class, though, was that you had more tools at your disposal than you realized, and if you were willing to acknowledge that fact, it could do you a whole lot of good.
I guess that's why I don't get the divide amongst Mets fans when the topic of sabermetrics comes up. Statistics, particularly progressive ones, can be a tool not only for front offices to use to run a professional baseball organization but also for fans to increase their enjoyment of the game.
So to answer my own question, I think people are resistant to statistics in baseball because they are comfortable with what they know, and even with the vast amount of information available on the internet, it takes an effort to start getting into this stuff on your own.
Merely looking at statistics to understand and enjoy baseball would make about as much sense as starting every sentence of this piece with the word and. The excitement of going to a game, the thrill of freezing your ass off in April just because you get to see baseball in person, enjoying a beer or two once the temperature finally warms up, catching a foul ball, spending time with your family and closest friends and possibly making new friends in the process and chanting "Let's Go Mets!" as loud as you possibly can – these are all great parts of being a Mets fan. And there's no reason that looking at stats on Fangraphs or Baseball Reference can't be added to that list.

Doggie Doorbells
"Looks like they've got puppies in the paper today," my husband casually commented — within earshot of our children — as he turned to the classified section of the Sunday paper.
It was dirty pool, to be sure, but after four years of this trick, I was impervious: No puppy and that was final. I had good reasons.
My husband's career in the Navy meant frequent moves (15 times in 17 years). Finding a place to live that allowed our cat and our black Lab Sally was hard enough already.
"Am I the only one who remembers how difficult Sally was to housetrain?" I would say. When Sally was a puppy, she wasn't content with simply having an "accident" — she also had to walk through it or sit in it, as well. It was misery.
And the misery was mostly mine. The kids were only 3 and 1 when Sally came home with us, and my husband was working rotating shifts for the Navy. He was exhausted, which meant the puppy watch was all mine.
I had no interest in going through that again. Until, that is, my husband retired from the Navy and we finally settled down in our own home. Now that Sally was 9 and fully-housetrained, the doggie drama had disappeared.
So, one Sunday, I turned the tables. I pulled out the classifieds and casually commented, "Looks like they have puppies in the paper today."
Within six hours, Tinkerbell, a Golden Retriever puppy, had joined our family. The first couple of days, we all watched Tinkerbell vigilantly. At the slightest crouch, one of us would grab her and take her outdoors. All four of us took turns standing watch, including Sabrina, now 13, and Jake,10.
Even with help, housetraining our puppy was exhausting. In only a few days, the phrase "You're on puppy watch," was eliciting irritable groans from all of us.
Maybe the idea came because it was early December and holiday bells were ringing in the air, or maybe it was our new puppy's name — Tinkerbell.
Whatever the reason, the solution to our puppy problem hit me — we'd hang jingle bells on the doorknob and teach Tink to ring them when she had to go out.
I took some heavyweight corduroy and sewed a simple rectangle with a handle on top. With carpet thread, I attached four bells low enough for Tink to reach and then looped the handle over the doorknob.
Within just a few days, Tink knew what to do and was ringing her doggie doorbell almost every time she had to go out. Since we've been relieved of standing watch over her all the time, Tinkerbell has gone from puppy problem to pure pleasure.

Doggie Doorbells
When our golden retriever was a puppy someone suggested this to us as well, we put 3 bells from the craft store on a ribbon and tied it the door handle and within a week he was trained to ring the bell whenever he wanted out. So I never have to worry about him having accidents - he still does (he is only a year and a half now). It is funny he prefers to go out a different door (the kitchen door) and he will go sit at that door to be let out - but when he really has to go he goes to the front door that has the bell and rings the bell.
Darlene B
Yay! That is an absolutely wonderful idea! When I was growing up we nailed a tiny bell next to an outside door for the cats to ring when they wanted in, but a string of jingle bells is much more decorative. I will be doing this both inside and out in my current house.
Caveat: my family learned early to look before opening the door. Raccoons are curious creatures, and occasionally rang the cat doorbell. This was a bit disconcerting for all involved.

Dust and mites are common asthma triggers and both have a special affinity for stuffed toys. Now a new certification program can help parents find toys that are more asthma friendly.
The asthma and allergy foundation of America has developed the asthma friendly certification program, detailed online at http://www.asthmafriendly.com
Toys are tested to ensure they don't contain filling or fabric that would trigger an asthma episode. Follow up care at home includes freezing toys for 24 hours and then machine washing and drying.

Two Diocese of Raleigh seminarians, in study at the Pontifical North American College in Rome, have been instituted in the Ministry of Lector, a step along the way to Priesthood ordination.
Timothy Ahn and Michael Schuetz, who are completing their first year of Theology, were instituted in the Ministry of Lector during Mass at the College on January 13, 2013. Cardinal Daniel DiNardo of Galveston-Houston presided at the ceremony.
In his homily, Cardinal DiNardo spoke about the "divine compassion" of Our Lord in his willingness to be baptized by John, and in his ministering to the "smoldering wicks", those of weak faith, that he encountered. The Cardinal invited the newly instituted readers to contemplate their own participation in the divine compassion, and exhorted them to spread God's Word to those smoldering wicks that they may encounter along the path to priesthood.
Mr. Ahn and Mr. Schuetz are among 248 seminarians from 97 dioceses in the United States, Canada and Australia. Approximately one-fourth of the men are in their first year of study at the College.
The Ministry of Lector provides for the reading of the sacred Scripture in the liturgical assembly, except for the Gospel in the Mass. As they are instituted in the ministry, candidates are instructed that through the proclamation of the word, they will instruct children and adults in the faith and "bring the message of salvation to those who have not yet received it."
The concluding prayer calls on those gathered to pray "that they may be faithful to the word entrusted to them, proclaim Christ to the world, and so give glory to our Father in heaven."
