One of New Zealand's oldest prisoners has been denied parole because, although he turns 84 today, his "age has not diminished his risk of sexual reoffending".
Donald Macdonald-Dalkeith, believed to be New Zealand's oldest convicted sexual offender at the time of his offending, was jailed for five years and four months in March 2010.
The decision to keep him behind bars has been backed by a victim's mother - "leopards don't change their spots".
According to the Department of Corrections, Macdonald-Dalkeith was one of just nine prisoners aged between 80 and 84 as at September last year. The oldest was 84.
The retired teacher and former parliamentary librarian committed indecencies against boys while he was 80. He was sentenced in the Napier District Court after pleading guilty to 14 charges of unlawful sexual connection with a young person aged under 16.
Last month, for his second hearing, the Parole Board said Macdonald-Dalkeith's physical and mental health continued to deteriorate. He had mild dementia and needed ongoing support for daily living.
He had no family but maintained contact with some female friends. He proposed to the board that he be released to live in Christchurch.
The board found "there is no question of him being released at this stage. He continues to pose an undue risk to the safety of the community".
"Clearly age has not diminished his risk of sexual reoffending," it said.
This was demonstrated not only by his committing current offences while very elderly, but also "by an incident in February", the board said. Corrections would not say what he had done.
Due to his "ongoing risk and probable inability to address his risk of reoffending and the lack of a robust release plan", parole was declined. His next parole hearing is in January next year, at which time the board will consider whether he should remain in prison until his sentence ends in 2015.
Yesterday, the mother of one of his victims told The Dominion Post she backed the board's view and "there's no way he should be allowed out".
"He blames everyone but himself. I wouldn't wish what happened to us on my worst enemy. He might be an old man, but he preys on young, vulnerable children."
Her son was still affected by the offending, she said.
Macdonald-Dalkeith's offending involved unlawful sexual connection with a boy aged between 12 and 14 between mid-2007 and 2009. He committed the same offence against another boy, 14, over seven months in 2009. The younger victim had Asperger's syndrome and made two suicide attempts.
Both boys were lured into MacDonald-Dalkeith's house, which they passed on the way to school. He paid the boys between $5 and $20 or gave them a cigarette for sexual favours, telling them not to tell anyone as no-one would believe them because he was a respected community member.
- Paul Joseph Dally, the man who kidnapped, raped and murdered Wellington schoolgirl Karla Cardno in 1989, will next month appear before the Parole Board to seek release from prison.

Travelers on Route 66 can easily overlook the De Anza motel as they enter Nob Hill.
It's deserted now, owned by the city, preserved because of its historic nature and waiting to be re-developed.
"De Anza is sort of a sign post for Nob Hill for people coming down Route 66 from the east" said Robert Munro who owns O'Neill's Pub across the street. Munro is also the President of Nob Hill Main Street.
He is not surprised that a different kind of traveler settled into this prime location.
Security guards at the motel recently found at least four honey bee hives.
"It's been protected by security guards for so many years that it must be a nice haven for the bees," he said, "Nobody is in there bugging them."
Gallons of honey are behind the walls. One hive alone has 95,000 bees.
"When they're removing them I hope they don't get angry and come across to my patio," Munro said.
Volunteer beekeepers will start the bee-removal process this week when the wind dies down.
City officials say the beekeepers can keep the local honey and cones they collect.
Munro hopes the motel will someday be a place that appeals more to people once again.
"We have this great big patio that overlooks The De Anza. So every single day we get to look at what has become an unfortunate eyesore," he said.
The bees will be adopted by The Open Space Visitor Center Program that will find a home for the hives.
Beekeepers say they cannot remove the bees if it's cold because it could kill the queen bee.
That means they'll have to wait for the winds to die down and for it to warm up.

SRO Deputy under investigation after middle school incident
An incident involving an Amelia school resource officer/deputy is being investigated by the Amelia County Sheriff's Office following an incident at the middle school that occurred Wednesday (Nov. 19). The deputy submitted his resignation the following morning (Thursday, Nov. 20).
Deputy Ian McDonald was assigned as the SRO at Amelia County Middle School in April. The long-time deputy was named to that position to replace former SRO/deputy John Harmon who was dismissed by Sheriff Ricky Walker. At that time Sheriff Walker was quoted as saying Mr. Harmon's dismissal was made in the best interests of the office..
The sheriff's office has issued a release that does not name Deputy McDonald but said, in part, "The conduct described including an angry outburst and the use of inappropriate language. The incident evolved after a student threw a grape and struck the deputy in the back of the head."
The Monitor has learned long-time Deputy McDonald was eating lunch with students in the school's cafeteria Wednesday. Several students were teasing the deputy, attempting to grab his equipment from his belt. After he repeatedly warned the students to desist, the deputy got up from his seat and walked away. That is when one of the students allegedly threw a grape, hitting the deputy on the back of the head. Deputy McDonald allegedly responded with the inappropriate language described in the sheriff's office's press release.
According to Sheriff Ricky Walker, Deputy McDonald has been removed from his duties as SRO and the sheriff's office is investigating the incident.
Sheriff Walker released this statement, "As sheriff of Amelia, I feel that the professional behavior of all deputies is important to our community relations. All officers of the Amelia sheriff's office should present themselves as positive role models to all citizens they serve."
Sheriff Walker said he will circulate an inter-office memo to see if any of the serving deputies are interested in the now vacant middle school SRO position.
Amelia County Public Schools' Superintendent Jack McKinley assured The Monitor, " The student behavior was investigated and addressed by the middle school administration."

Quarterback getting acclimated to new coaching staff Aaron Wilson
Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III isn't expecting dramatic changes in the offense despite the change in coaching staff to Jay Gruden.
Griffin is expecting some parallels to what the Redskins ran with Mike Shanahan.
It's not going to be a complete turnaround as far as Griffin is concerned.
"I think having two years' experience running an offense, a pro-level offense, West Coast type, this is very similar," Griffin said. "So it's not been as tough as you might think. But all the concepts translate over. They might be called something different. But the reads are similar. It's just about the philosophy of the coach. Jay has a little bit different philosophy. We'll find out what that is on Sundays."

Verizon, Microsoft announce streaming deal for Xbox Live TV
Send this to a friend
- Aislyn Greene, TechFlash
Microsoft Corp. announced Wednesday a streaming partnership with Verizon Communications Inc. that will let customers will watch live TV through their Xbox 360 consoles.
The two companies said the new service will be available this holiday season. The only catch is customers must subscribe to both Microsoft's (NASDAQ: MSFT) Xbox Live Gold and Verizon's (NYSE: VZ) FiOS TV service.
"Using a Verizon-developed software application, FiOS TV and Internet customers who are also Xbox Live Gold members will be able to view popular live TV channels through their Xbox consoles without any extra hardware required," said the two companies in a press release.
It was reported last week that Microsoft was expected to make announcements about its expanded Xbox Live TV lineup, which could include content from Sony Pictures Entertainment's Crackle service and Amazon.com subsidiary Lovefilm UK.
Microsoft is positioning Xbox to become more than just a game console, allowing users to switch effortlessly between gaming, watching movies and TV shows. The company also plans to roll out this holiday season its Tellme service, which lets users search for content using Kinect voice commands, and its Bing search engine for Xbox.
"By bringing the technologically advanced Verizon FiOS TV service to Xbox 360 and Kinect, we are advancing our vision to provide the best in entertainment in extraordinary new ways," said Tom Gibbons, corporate vice president in Microsoft's Interactive Entertainment division, in a statement.
Xbox users can already access subscriptions to Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX), Hulu and pay TV from AT&T (NYSE: T) through the game console.

US Secretary of State John Kerry
WASHINGTON: US Secretary of State John Kerry will make his fifth trip to North and Southeast Asia on Thursday, stopping in China, South Korea and Indonesia for climate change and North Korea talks.
The globe-trotting top US diplomat will also visit Abu Dhabi at the end of his February 13-18 voyage, his spokeswoman Jen Psaki said in a statement.
In Seoul, Kerry will "discuss ways to expand our cooperation on regional and global issues, and continue our close coordination... on North Korea," Psaki said.
Kerry last visited Seoul in April, and the new trip comes just after Washington learned Friday that a US citizen has been returned to a labor camp after having been hospitalized for poor health.
Washington has repeatedly called for the release of Kenneth Bae after the devout Korean American Christian missionary was detained in November 2012 and later sentenced to 15 years' hard labor on charges of trying to topple the government.
In Beijing, Kerry will highlight the role that the United States and China - the world's top emitters of greenhouse gases blamed for global warming - can play in combating climate change.
Kerry will also "relay the message that the United States is committed to pursuing a positive, cooperative, comprehensive relationship and welcomes the rise of a peaceful and prosperous China that plays a positive role in world affairs," Psaki said.
The Beijing visit, also his second as secretary of state, comes however amid growing regional tensions over China's territorial ambitions after it unilaterally extended its air defense zone over the South China Sea.
The United States has urged Beijing to clarify or adjust its claims in the South China Sea, calling for a peaceful solution to one of Asia's growing flashpoints.
On Friday, Kerry reaffirmed a 1960 treaty with Japan and vowed the US would defend its ally against attack, including over islands claimed by China.
Beijing claims the South China Sea almost in its entirety, even areas a long way from its shoreline, but portions are also claimed by Brunei, Malaysia, the Philippines, Taiwan and Vietnam.
After China, the top US diplomat will then travel to Jakarta for talks with senior Indonesian leaders, before heading to Abu Dhabi, where his discussions are likely to focus on Middle East peace and the conflict in Syria. -AFP

Mt Etna Eruption: Another Apocalyptic Portent? (VIDEO & PHOTOS)
- Order Reprints
- Text Size
By Vittorio Hernandez | February 22, 2013 12:52 AM EST
Doomsday prophets will again have a field day forecasting an Apocalypse, following the eruption of Mt. Etna in Italy on Tuesday.
The eruption provided a spectacular fireworks display that was caused by Europe's tallest volcano spewing out hot lava and gas toward the sky.
Klaus Dorchfeldt, videographer and webmaster of Italy's National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology caught the eruption on video.
The volcano had exhibited restive signs the past few weeks and on Jan 22, lava and strong flashes were observed at its New Southeast Crater, seen clearly from the Sicilian foothills. Its Bocca Nuova Crater also erupted in 2011 for 10 days, from Jan 10 to 20.
Mr Dorschfeldt was on a volcano watch since he was aware that Mt Etna's recent signals are indicators of new activity.
"I've followed the activity of Etna for many years, and with time you learn to know it as if it were your friend . . . Following it constantly you learn to be a keen observe and a minor change can lead to something important," OurAmazingPlanet quoted Mr Dorschfeldt.
He observed three paroxysmal eruptive episodes in less than 36 hours. He warned that while the local population has no immediate danger from lava flows, air travelers could be affected by the ash plume.
The volcanic eruption would likely be tied up to recent end-of-the-world scenarios being theorised following several events such as the meteor shower last week in Russia, the near hit of an asteroid and even religious events such as the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI, said to be the precedent for an end-times pope.
Experts, however, pointed out that super-eruptions are very rare, and the odds that one will happen in our lifetimes is very, very small. Based on research, taking into account the full span of the earth's geologic history, chances of a super-eruption is on the average once every 700,000 years, geologists said.
Drew Shindell, climate scientist at the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York, said there is absolutely no sign of a super-eruption hovering anytime soon.
"There has been only on super-eruption in more than 100,000 years, so odds are miniscule for either near-future or within our lifetime," OurAmazingPlanet quoted Mr Shindell.

Supervised Learning Events: is rebranding enough?
Dear Editor
I read with great interest the article by Rees et al (1) which represents the first assessment of trainee and trainer perceptions towards 'supervised learning events' (SLEs). The Foundation Programme in the UK has been pioneering in its transition from 'workplace based assessments' (WBAs) to SLEs, with the aim of emphasising the formative intent of the tools, to improve engagement of trainees with their learning potential.
When reading the original recommendation from the GMC, to adopt this new nomenclature, I asked myself if this simple 'rebranding' would be sufficient to change the prevailing negativity that exists within the medical workplace towards, what many trainees, and some trainers, see as simply 'tick-box' exercises (2).
It was interesting to read that, in general, trainees perceived SLEs in a more positive light than WBAs. However, what was clear is that some confusion persists - apparently more so in trainers. A recommendation from this study that is repeatedly highlighted in numerous other publications on this subject is the need for training - of both trainees and trainers, in the use of these tools. The lack of understanding that apparently exists in the workplace is no doubt at the root of much of the dissatisfaction and misuse of WBA and SLE tools.
It was not clear from the study if the issue of training was examined by the authors. It would have been interesting to gain an insight into what (if any) training both trainees and trainers received in the use (and introduction) of these 'new' tools. I wonder if no specific training was provided to either group.
This work appears to demonstrate that rebranding WBAs as SLEs has gone some way to improve trainee perceptions, but that there remains much potential for improvement. I would propose that until trainees and trainers have a more complete understanding of WBA tools, negative perceptions and misuse of WBA or SLE tools will remain prevalent in the workplace.

Nalmefene: Extrapolation, Exaggeration or Evidence Based Medicine?
How Lundbeck's conclusion "Nalmefene can be seen as a cost-effective treatment for alcohol dependence, with substantial public health benefits" can have been published?(1) Should "Open" in BMJ Open means open to aggressive marketing from the drug industry, open not to hope but to hype, open without proper discussion despite several gross limitations.
First, the piece apply a mathematical model to three trials that were sponsored by Lundbeck with authors who were on its payrolls. The first two trials of six months' duration (ESENSE 1 and 2) are negative, however the EuropeanMedicines Agency granted a marketing authorization on a subgroup analysis comprising only a quarter of the patients, with half of the data missing in the nalmefene group.(2) The thrid study (SENSE) is also negative in intention to treat analysis.(3) The publication has little to do with science as it associated per protocol analysis, sub group analysis, post hoc analysis, and added to 16 end points of the genuine protocol (which failed to evidence a relevant effect), a 17 and 18th end points (heavy drinking days and reduction of total alcohol consumption) at 13 months.(3) Both editors of the journal failed to respond a proposal to comment these major flaws.(personal experience) Last, Laram?e failed to included results from previous trials.(1) In 1998 Contral Pharma Ltd tried to develop nalmefene for alcohol related problems but in 2003 nalmefene didn't succeed to meet phase III clinical end points statistically significant. Lundbeck must have the data, it paid for it when buying the patent to Contral Pharma. Other previous nalmefene unsuccessful development included interstitial cystitis, schizophrenic patients ...P values must be corrected for multiple testings.
Second, the three studies are limited to surrogate endpoints: heavy drinking days and total alcohol consumption. Although the European Medicines Agency has accepted a reduction in drinking at 6 months as an end point, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not accept it yet. FDA is right, this surrogate endpoint has not been validated. Harm reduction strategy used to minimize the personal harm and adverse societal effects of alcohol dependence is not yet evidence based.(5,6). Moreover theses surrogate end points in the nalmefene trials were obtained from patient reports, a non reliable method.(6,7) Approving an alcohol misuse drug on the basis of an increase in non-drinking days is similar to approving a weight reduction intervention on the basis of reducing the number of cakes consumed daily rather than the weight loss achieved or ideally obesity related complications or obesity related death.(4) At best, daily alcohol consumption is 5 to 9 grams lower with nalmefene than with placebo and the impact of nalmefene on the complications of alcohol dependence is not known. The crucial first step in the management of alcohol-dependent patients is to establish a relationship built on trust and to provide psychological and social support. When medication is considered, it is better to choose acamprosate or naltrexone, drugs that are only moderately effective but better-assessed.(8)
Third, regarding ethics, the lack of effective treatment in the controlled group is a serious concern. Three treatments are validated (acamprosate, naltrexone, disulfiram) to treat alcohol use disorders. Why patients were deemed effective treatments for six months or even a year? To avoid comparisons with an effective comparator? Indeed nalmefene do not perform better than naltrexone but exhibits greater side effects.(9) This is a breach in Helsinki declaration! Nalmefene should have been studied on relevant clinical end points vs one of the usual treaments.
Last, despite Markov is a random process usually characterized as memoryless, we must not forget Lundbeck's records. On June 19, 2013, the European Commission imposed a fine of 93.8 million euros on Lundbeck and fined several producers of generic pharmaceuticals a total of 52.2 million euros after Lundbeck made agreements with the other companies to delay less expensive generics of Lundbeck's branded citalopram, it best-selling product at the time, from entering the market. In return for the ability to maintain a monopoly on the drug's manufacture, Lundbeck offered payments and other kickbacks. These violated EU antitrust rules that prohibit anticompetitive agreements (Article 101 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union - TFEU). Commission Vice-President Joaqu?n Almunia: "Agreements of this type directly harm patients and national health systems, which are already under tight budgetary constraints".(10) In conclusion, Markov chain Monte Carlo, named after Andrey Markov, a Russian mathematician, now evokes me the exaggeration of a russian oligarch gambling in the small tax haven of the French Riviera, not an hypothesis to be tested on robust data for the patients' benefit.

Why exclude adverse events possibly due to medication or to some procedure?
This protocol is enterprising, interesting and important, but it nowhere refers to adverse events that might be effects of medication, or of failure of a medicine to work.
Research on 'patient safety' in hospital has developed quite separately from pharmacovigilance and the elucidation of harms possibly caused by medicines and their prevention, but they are related both conceptually and in practice. They need integration, or at least to take notice of one another. This study could take a big step in that direction.
A further valuable dimension would be added by including all events ['incidents'] that might be attributable to a medication or a diagnostic or therapeutic procedure. I very much hope this will be put into the protocol. It would in any case be very useful also to collect all reports of suspected and reported adverse drug reactions in the study cohort, with their timelines, and to examine them as fully as the other events that will be collected.
One other aspect is not clear from the protocol: who first noticed and mentioned the 'incident', and how did the conversations about it develop? (For example: patient> nurse> doctor; pharmacist> doctor>; nurse> doctor >patient) That could influence how to set about improving detection, reporting, analysis and communication.

Response to the comments published by Pruthu et al.
Thank you for your comments on the published paper. C1) Recruitment: In Bissau the majority of TB patients are diagnosed at a laboratory at the local health centre, where the patient upon a positive smear is referred to the TB nurse at the same facility who will then start treatment immediately. Patients with smear negative TB are diagnosed at the national TB hospital upon x-ray and physician consultation, and are also from there given treatment on the same day. There is therefore no delay in this part of the process except in rare events of drug stock-outs etc, but in general day of diagnosis and day of treatment initiation will be the same.
C2) Censoring: As it is described in the paper the patient inclusion stopped at 4th of June 2010. From then patients were followed through the treatment period. The mortality data follow up was censored at 27th of April 2011 when the final data-analysis was done. The details of this censoring could definitely have been described in more detail in the manuscript and we thank the eLetter authors for pointing this out.
C3) Lost to follow up: In mortality studies the lost to follow up data are always important and can be essential to evaluate the data strength and weaknesses of the data collection. In our case the focus of the paper was on treatment delay, clinical severity at the diagnosis of TB and the risk factor analysis. The mortality data was included to confirm the effect of long-term anti-TB treatment for presumed smear negative TB patients. It is important to understand that the follow up data mentioned concerning effects of treatment assessed by change in clinical severity (e.g. TBscore) is taken from the six months trial clinical examinations - at the end of treatment. When it comes to treatment delay and mortality the results are inconclusive. The mortality analysis was done over the entire mortality follow up time at 24 months but because of the significant challenges with infrastructure and mobility of the population in a country like Guinea Bissau there was a substantial number of "lost to follow up" cases after 2 years. This would probably explain at least part of the missing association between treatment delay and mortality.
C4) Beta coefficient vs. relative risk The risk factor analysis has been done on categorical independent variables and the treatment delay variable (dependent) is continuous (though logtransformed because of outliers). It is a simple linear regression as it is described in the paper. We did a search on a proper cutoff for delay and found differing information in the literature and therefore decided to use the continuous variable instead as to not "loose" too much data strength. The results are as you correctly point out given as a beta-coefficient and should have been described as such in the paper.
C5) Observation time on smear-negative TB-cases: This is a helpful argument and we thank the authors of the E-letter. We could have pointed this out in more detail in the discussion session. It is widely accepted and well known that the diagnosis of TB-smear negative TB is a process where there is a natural and inevitable delay in the diagnosis and treatment of TB. The results of the paper only present the difference in time whether it being a delay or a natural cause of TB-smear negative diagnosis could always be discussed.

Reply to Rydahl and Clausen
Rydahl and Clausen are right about problems with the validity of some official statistics published by central institutions or on the home page of the State Serum Institute (SSI). These processed data are, however, not the same as raw data from the Danish Birth Registry (DBR).
Today, official statistics are typically made by data managers in severely understaffed units in our central administration, often without the possibility of knowledge sharing with clinical expertise. Please don't make us accountable for these flawed statistics and the changes made in them over time.
Misinterpretation of DBR data is, however, not the same as unreliable DBR data. Making reliable statistics from raw diagnosis, procedural or surgical codes is indeed not simple, even with a hard end point such as stillbirth. For this reason, we have argued that such statistics should be made at least in collaboration with clinicians with research experience in handling registry data. Unfortunately, the central administrative units do not always (in contrast to good old days) have budget for this proposal to be effected.
Some people, e.g. Rydahl and Clausen apparently do not discriminate between flawed analyses of valid registry data on the one hand, and the baseline validity of the analysed data on the other hand, leading to the rambling conclusion that all analyses based upon DBR data necessarily are flawed.
For some years, the DBR has been provided with data from the National Health Registry, supplemented by chart data from home deliveries (which are not recorded in the National Health Registry) and by a separate feed from death certificates which are not always included in the National Health Registry. To achieve valid numbers of stillbirths demands all of these three sources of death data to be collected and analysed together. By doing so, provides in our opinion rather precise estimates of the real number of stillbirths. And our guess is that one or two of these sources of data may be missing in some of the official statistics. But that is nothing but a qualified guess.
Considering all these challenges, it is a little hard to understand why Rydahl and Clausen get so incensed that someone now publishes carefully prepared analyses on stillbirths, since such qualified analyses according to Rydahl and Clausen have been missing.
Conflict of Interest:
See original paper.
Data in the National Danish Birth Register are unreliable.
Olsen (1) has questioned the validity of the stillbirth data used in Hedegaard et als study based on The Danish Birth Register (DBR). Lidegaard replies that "We always make our own data retrieval from the raw data in the National registries, including the birth registry rather than relying on the official statistics" (2). However, we are concerned that data in DBR seems very unreliable, and perhaps even compromised.
We check the register regularly and recently noted a dramatic retrospective change on augmentation during year 2000-2006. The incidence was suddenly lowered from 16,000 to approximately 10,000 annually. This means that 6000 oxytocin augmentations a year have been deleted from the register. No public information is available as to why this change occurred. We e-mailed DBR (Aug.15 2014) and asked for an explanation but received no answer. We sent a reminder Aug 27 and the next day the online access to data from 2000-2006 were removed from the website, again without any explanation. The Danish Health Authorities offer no public information on why these changes have occurred. Even though augmentation is not an outcome used in the study by Hedegaard et al, the changes raises strong concerns about validity of the data in DBR in general. More importantly for the validity of the data in the study by Hedegaard et al, we have recently observed changes in DBR on induction rates for the year 2010 where 1033 induction had been added. Besides these inconsistencies Olsen (1) draws attention to the discrepancy concerning the data on intra uterine death, which are the primary outcome of the study by Hedegaard et al (2).
All these observations make us question the validity of the data in DBR and in the paper. The unexpected retrospective change in data, the lack of explanation for these changes, and the closedown of the register all fuel an uncertainty toward the data in DBR. The problem is, that nobody knows which data are correct. We urge the authors to document the validity of all data in their paper.

BCIS in hemiarthroplasty
We found this to be an interesting and thought-provoking article about a relatively less known condition, bone cement implantation syndrome (BCIS).(1) There are clear advantages and disadvantages to the use of cement in hemiarthroplasty, and this data illustrates the infrequent incidence of BCIS whilst emphasising the ever-present risk of serious harm to the patient. As such, it should be worth mentioning the risk of BCIS during the consenting process, as per GMC guidance,(2) in order to ensure that an informed decision is made. The article provides us with an estimated incidence that can be mentioned in the preoperative consenting process.
Razuin et al.(3) reported post-mortem findings in BCIS of multi- organ embolisation of material from the procedure, i.e. cement and bone. It would be interesting to find out how many BCIS deaths reported on the NRLS had similar post-mortem findings, as opposed to other causes of peri- and intra-operative mortality. We wonder if a retrospective review of affected patients would help identify a subgroup that should not have a cemented procedure. It may also be worth considering further study into alternatives to cement, or the development of a new monomer.

With the country currently crippled by a serious heatwave we could all use a breezy, cool new cut. Thankfully DJBooth newcomer ZEEQ comes through with summery new jam Pour Me a Cup, a humming new release driven by an eclectic beat from producer Soul Chef that's part salsa, part hip-hop and all dope. It's an instrumental that allows the NYC emcee to demonstrate both his complex wordplay and his penchant for just laying back and, well, downing a few cups of special liquid. For more
cool music from ZEEQ, freely download his Free Time album, released on June 23.

I'm travelling with 2- 12 year olds .we are going to stop at 2 of the 3 islands . Which 2 would be my best choice ? We love to snorkel & would like to learn to scuba dive , Spending time at a school would be interesting .We like hiking as well
fiji,cook islands,samoa ? which 2 should I visit ?

For a very authentic South Pacific experience Samoa is the place, however there is not a lot to do there and after about 3 days the 12 y.o may become a bit bored. Fiji is a must and I would then go for the Cooks. Remember that you are in a warm and humid area of the world and hiking is not always the best method of exploring. As village life is the way of life, a village school would certainly be a different experience for the 12 year olds.

Should you consider Samoa I can recommend this company

DownUnder is correct. Fiji is a must! We're planning to there next year with friends.

Tyus Jones on college with Jahlil Okafor, Justise Winslow: 'We all like the idea'
Jun 19, 2013, 3:35 PM EST
It's no secret that Tyus Jones and Jahlil Okafor want to play their college ball together.
They've been talking about it for a while, and given the fact that they are both ranked in the top three for Rivals Class of 2014 — Okafor is currently No. 1 while Jones is No. 3 — I'm sure that every school in the country would be willing to allow them to suit up together.
Lately, however, it sounds like the duo may be trying to become the latest version of the Big Three.
"You guys already know that me and Jahlil are gonna play together in college, and now we're feeling pretty good about getting our boy Justise Winslow to come along with us as well," Jones wrote on a blog for USA Today. "It's looking pretty good for that. We're, all three, really great friends and we've got a close bond so we all like the idea of playing together in college."
Winslow is no slouch, as he's currently ranked as the No. 10 player in the country. He'd fit as well, as he's a powerful wing player that would fit well alongside Okafor (a pure post player) and Jones (a natural point guard).
All three players have trimmed their lists, and only three schools show up and each of those lists: Baylor, Duke and Kansas. To be fair, I think that both Kentucky and Ohio State — who are on the lists of Jones and Okafor — would be willing to take Winslow if it let them get the other two.

Math: The 11th-grade test doesn't add up
On the other hand, most students would find it very useful from the get-go if they could figure out change in their heads, read an amortization schedule, or understand the relationship between price and yield. Also, these types of real-world lessons would — dare I say it — make their math exams a bit more interesting than watching paint dry.
A) Solve for "x" if 3x2 + 20 – 4.5x = 50; or
B) Where are the customers' yachts?
Obviously, it is B, as nearly 75 years ago, Fred Schwed wrote a book about Wall Street with that title, and people are still buying it today.
If you'd like to find out whether you're smarter at math than an 11th-grader, take the practice test yourself. You can find it here: unionleader.com/test

|laboratory dilemma
Nov 29, 2005
Hello. (please answer me !!! I'm very very very stressed).
I worked for a period in a lab in which they used to cut fresh carotid arteries specimens (taken from the operatory room, and keeped in medium) in order to make cell colture (to obtain fibroblasts). I have seen the technicians work properly with their gloves, but sometimes with their gloves they touched the artery or the medium in which it has been keeped. I fear(actually, I'm quite sure) that the technician sometimes touched with these "contaminated" gloves the petri dishes, or even the lab's fridge or even the door-knob. So... maybe with gloves they touched again the petri dish, and with these gloves... they could have touched somewhere else in the lab ! I must therefore confess that I've never noticed blood or other biological stains on the furnitures.
The problem is that I fear taht some of us working there could have touched with a bare naked hand some of these "invisible" stains, and that i could have touched my mouth or my eyes...
So... Im' quite worried for me, and for other workers.
Is these a real way in which we can have been infected with HIV, HBC or HCV? - ok I have taken vaccine against HBV but not all the people working there did !-
Thank you.
Please do answer... I'm really in a bad and paranoyd mood.

Patient dies from SARS-like virus
Becomes sixth fatality from the illness worldwide
- Image Credit: AP
- The coronavirus, seen under a miscroscope, is from the same viral family that triggered Sars.
London: A person suffering from a SARS-like virus has died in Britain, hospital officials said on Tuesday, becoming the sixth fatality from the illness worldwide.
The patient was being treated for so-called novel coronavirus at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham, central England, and died on Sunday, the hospital said.
The victim was one of three people in the same family with the virus, which appeared to have been caught by one of the family members during a recent visit to the Middle East and Pakistan.
"A patient being treated for novel coronavirus at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham has died. The patient passed away on Sunday morning in the hospital's critical care unit," the hospital said in a statement to AFP.
The World Health Organisation on Saturday urged countries to be vigilant over the spread of the virus.
A total of 12 cases of the virus have so far been reported to the WHO with five previous fatalities - three in Saudi Arabia and two in Jordan.
The person who died in Britain already had a "long-term, complex unrelated health condition", the hospital said.
"The patient was immuno-compromised and is believed to have contracted the virus from a relative who is being treated for the condition in a Manchester hospital," it added.
The hospital was working with Britain's Health Protection Agency to trace other family members and contacts of the patients, it added.
The other two patients from the same family are said to be recovering.
The cases raised alarm because they appeared to show person-to-person transmission of the virus, although the WHO said the risk of infection appeared to be low.
There have been four cases of the virus in Britain so far after a 49-year-old Qatari man was treated at a London hospital in September for the virus.
Coronaviruses cause most common colds but can also cause SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome).
A SARS epidemic killed more than 800 people when it swept out of China in 2003, sparking a major international health scare.

Teixeira lost for 8-10 weeks
The Yankees found out Wednesday that Mark Teixeira would miss eight to 10 weeks with a strained tendon in his right wrist.
TAMPA, Fla. — Brian Cashman sat in a wheelchair in the middle of the New York Yankees clubhouse calmly discussing the news of the day.
The symbolism couldn't be ignored.
Wednesday afternoon brought more bad news for Team Triage as the Yankees found out Mark Teixeira would miss eight to 10 weeks with a strained tendon in his right wrist.
"It's a tough loss," Cashman said. "Like all these ones."
The injury left the organization desperately assessing their first-base options.
Kevin Youkilis makes the most sense, but manager Joe Girardi and Cashman, while not completely ruling out putting the former Gold Glove winner at first, said doing so would create a potentially bigger hole at third. Youkilis was signed in the offseason as Alex Rodriguez's replacement.
Options from within include nonroster invitees Juan Rivera and Dan Johnson, though Cashman said he didn't see Rivera, already competing for the outfield spot created by Curtis Granderson's absence, as anything but an outfielder. Travis Hafner, signed to be a DH, will remain that, having not played in the field since 2007.
"We have three or more weeks to go with what we have here, as well as evaluate what's elsewhere," said Cashman, in a wheelchair after suffering a broken right leg and dislocated right ankle in a parachuting accident Monday.
Teixeira injured himself hitting off a tee in Glendale, Ariz., with Team USA. Cashman said Teixeira will rest for four weeks before beginning rehabilitation.
Kansas City Royals first baseman Eric Hosmer agreed to join Team USA as Teixeira's replacement.
Figgins hitless but hopeful
JUPITER, Fla. — Chone Figgins, 35, is trying to revive his career with the Miami Marlins. The 12th-year veteran is a .277 career hitter with 337 stolen bases, but he batted under .200 each of the past two seasons with the Mariners. The Marlins might represent his last opportunity to stay in the big leagues.
He's off to a slow start in spring training, going 0 for 9 in his first four games. But he's confident he can still hit and figures his versatility afield coming off the bench makes him especially valuable to a National League team.
Until this year, he spent his entire career in the American League.
"In the AL you're limited," he said. "They don't pinch-hit much, and if they do, it's usually somebody who might hit a homer."
• In Fort Myers, Fla., Jon Lester pitched four solid innings and gave up one run in Boston's 9-3 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates. Lester, projected to start for the Red Sox on opening day, allowed two hits and three walks.
• In Glendale, Ariz., Andre Ethier hit a two-run homer in the first inning and Dee Gordon a two-run double in the second, leading the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 10-2 victory over Mexico.
• In Tempe, Ariz., Jered Weaver struck out five in three innings and top prospect Kaleb Cowart drove in three runs as the L.A. Angels beat Italy 12-6. Weaver allowed one run.
• In Surprise, Ariz., Lance Berkman hit his first home run of spring training, helping the Texas Rangers beat the Chicago Cubs 3-2. Pitcher Derek Lowe, 39, and Texas reached agreement on a minor-league deal.

We should all care deeply about pension costs and the 400% increase in the costs over the past decade in Sonoma County. Why? Because every dollar going to over generous, retroactively enhanced pensions is taxpayer money that is not creating jobs, helping our fellow citizens, educating our children, or maintaining our roads and parks.
