Hospital: Staff, victim's relatives don't have MERS
MUNSTER, Ind. - An official at a northwestern Indiana hospital where a man is being treated for a mysterious virus from the Middle East says preliminary test results show that none of the hospital employees who came into contact with the patient have tested positive for the illness.
Community Hospital chief medical information officer Dr. Alan Kumar also says none of the man's close family contacts have tested positive for Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, or MERS.
He says officials "have contained the exposure at this point" but remain vigilant.
The Indiana patient is the first American citizen diagnosed with MERS. He flew from Saudi Arabia to Chicago on April 24 and took a bus to Indiana.
The man went to the emergency room last Monday with a fever, cough and shortness of breath.

Program Helps Veterans Buy Homes
A state program is helping veterans and their families find new homes. An additional $5 million has been announced to Illinois' Welcome Home Heroes home buyer financing package.
It will help make home ownership more affordable. The funding is estimated to allow an additional 500 military families to access a $10,000 forgivable grant toward the purchase of a new home as well as a mortgage tax credit worth up to $20,000 over the life of the loan.
"The veterans, instead of going out and getting good jobs and saving and being able to make down payments on homes, they have made the sacrifice for very little pay," Chuck Giger, a veteran, said.
Over the past year, Welcome Home Heroes has helped more than 550 million military families buy a home. The program is administered by the Illinois Housing Development Authority. It's open to all qualified Illinois veterans. Active military personnel, reservists, and Illinois National Guard members may participate, but must be first-time buyers.

Nabi 2

Posted December 4, 2012 at 8:35PM
After doing quite a bit of research re kids tablets I've more or less decided to purchase the Nabi 2 for my 10 yr old son. Not being tech savvy, I was wondering if he would be able to purchase/download ebooks from other sites ( Amazon maybe ) and read them on the Nabi? The pre loaded books are more suitable to a younger age group. If this was possible, how would I go about downloading these books?! Thanks ENL

Don't know it but a quick look at the specs seems to indicate that it has its own O/S, Monarch.
This is likely to be very restrictive on books.

Nabi 2 is Android 4. However it seem sto be set up specifically for young children and does not seem to have the Google Play Store but its own kidz app store. Not at all sure that you can get books. I think that looking at the product that it is aimed at a younger age range than a 10 yr old boy who will want to play games on it. The major problem with any tablet is going to be parental control.
America Amazon reviews Nabi2 are quite helpful.

Topic: Plant Identification, Vines
Title: Identification of a plant that looks like a watermelon.
Answered by: Nan Hampton
QUESTION:A wild plant came up in my bed that looked like a watermelon plant. It had small yellow blooms and then marble balls formed with prickly thorns. The balls were in clusters. What kind of plant is it?
This sounds a lot like Sicyos angulatus (One-seed burr cucumber). Here are more photos and information from Virginia Tech's Weed Identification Guide, Illinois Wildflowers, and Connecticut Botanical Society.
Another possibility is Echinocystis lobata (Wild cucumber) and here are more photos and information from the University of Wisconsin's Robert W. Freckman Herbarium.
If neither of these is the vine you have seen, you can look at other Arkansas native vines in our Native Plant Database by doing a COMBINATION SEARCH and selecting "Arkansas" from the Select State or Province slot and "Vine" from Habit (general appearance). Or, if you have photos or can take them, you can find links to several plant identification forums on our Plant Identification page that will accept photos for identification.

New dad to be!

Hows it going guys?
Chris here my partner and i both share this account and its quite exciting we have just found out we are pregnant!
Shes about 4-5 weeks along which is still early and quite frankly im crapping myself,
Not in the sense that im scared about being a dad whatsoever even though it hasn't really kicked in yet.
More so scared just waiting that 12 weeks, you know its a long long time and days go by really slowly and theres nothing more that i want than this baby.
Just a bit of our past history in trying, it wasn't extensive or extrodanary by any means we had one miscarriage which was about 3 months ago.
Very early miscarriage at that.
But theres always good that comes out of the bad, as her previous marriage they were trying and trying but her ex husband was infertile, as tough as that would be to handle for her because there is nothing more than she had ever wanted, but the kicker of the story which is the worst part, after all the trials and trying and blood tests etc he was infertile the entire time.
But thats just a bit about me and i would love to get to know some of the blokes on here.
Posted 01 January 2013 - 03:18 PM
Hey mate, pleased to meet you
We had an early miscarriage, and actually had a worse outcome after that, which I won't go into an extreme amount of detail about. I can relate to how you are feeling in the early weeks, it's terrifying and exciting all at the same time. I still remember the feeling of being robbed of some of the joy due to past experience, which can be hard sometimes to get past.
We now have 2 girls, one's nearly 2 and one's nearly 4, and our 3rd is due on Valentine's Day, which isn't far away at all. I now worry about how we will deal with the kid:parent ratio becoming uneven!
Hang in there, offer your partner every support you can, hope the next few weeks go quickly for you.
Posted 04 January 2013 - 10:50 AM
Hey Chris!
Welcome to the mad house that is fatherhood. DW and I had a number of miscarriages, ectopic pregnancies and failed IVF before fally pregnant with DS who is nearly 8 yo. Just before DW turned 40 (which was our "cutoff point" for having any more children) we fell pregnant with DD who is just over 2 yo.
The waiting and not being able to do much is the worst part of pregnancy. As Dan said - offer all the support and help you can!
Posted 05 January 2013 - 11:05 AM
Is there a more active forum in any other sites etc
Posted 21 January 2013 - 08:44 PM
Not that I have found... it seems like there aren't as many blokes who blog about this stuff.
Just contribute to the rest of the posts in and topics in Essential Baby... the other mums don't bite
Too busy blogging about sport and gadgets and games etc... which I also love
Posted 06 August 2013 - 07:09 PM

Breathe, accept that you don't have all the answers, ask your partner what you can do to help her and ask for help if you have questions ...
(Also, honestly, the mums don't bite - don't restrict your queries to the dads chat forum only)
Ooh, and congratulations on the arrival of your son!

Hmmm wonder how Seth Jones looks now? Drouin is more media hype than star. He is a great junior player, I suspect he will remain one.

- An ISBN is the 10 or 13 digit number, usually printed on the back of a book with a bar code, that serves as a unique identifier for the book.
- Searching by ISBN is the best way to search because it will get you the exact title and edition that you need.
- Many professors include the ISBN on their syllabi or in their course management system.
If you don't have the ISBN, try a title or author search.
Title search
- Enter all words in the title you are looking for. The search engine will try to find books that have all the words you entered in the title. Leave out words such as "a," "an," or "the."
- When including edition, use numeric values. For example, "1st edition" instead of "first edition."
Author search
- Enter all or part of the author name you are looking for.
- You do not need to enter a first name, but if there are a lot of books by authors with the same last name, it may help to narrow the results.
- You can enter the name in any order such as "John Smith" or "Smith John." Avoid using a comma since it has a special meaning in the search.
Keyword search
- You can search by keyword but this approach is not recommended as it will likely return a large set of results.
- If you want to search by keyword, try a combination of author and keyword. For example, "Warren Accounting" where "Warren" is the author and "Accounting" is the keyword.
To refine your results, use the filtering/sorting options
- Filter options include product type and discipline area. Sort options include alphabetical sort (ascending or descending) and copyright year (ascending or descending).

Massive water main bursts; leaves Kahala Hotel without water
Board of Water Supply crews are still working to repair a 24-inch water main break near the Kahala Hotel and Resort. About five customers are without service, but many more guests at the hotel were affected as well.
A wedding can take months of planning, thousands of dollars and having to deal with a few bumps in the road. But one couple's special day was almost a washout because of Thursday morning's water main break.
"They just blocked off everything and I said I had to make a delivery and they said you can't come through so I had to park on the side of the road, the private road," says Crystal Manalo, who was delivering items to a wedding at the hotel.
Deliveries were on hold after the 24-inch water main that burst under Kahala Avenue. The road was closed and guests at the Kahala Hotel and Resort were stranded. Water to the hotel was cut off at 5:30 a.m and it stayed off for five hours.
"Got up in the morning, went to brush my teeth and there was just air coming out of the faucet," says Jenn Zagursky, a guest of the hotel.
We're told the resort is 80 percent booked and having zero percent water made it a busy morning for staff.
"When the telephone lines were quite busy, many of them (guests) would come down and ask for water or ask what was going on," says Flora Lamontagne, director of guest services at the Kahala Hotel.
Management says its staff did a great job following its contingency plan. Bottled water was delivered to rooms, guests needing to come or go were assisted by shuttle or by a private road that the Waialae Country Club volunteered to open up, creating a much needed alternate route.
As repairs went on, water was restored. The road was reopened and thanks to everyone's help, the break that could have dampened this couple's day, did not, allowing the bride to say "I do."
The Board of Water Supply says repairs are expected to continue into Thursday evening. One lane of Kahala Avenue still remains open. Motorists are urged to drive with caution in the area.

Medical marijuana bill proposed in Pennsylvania Senate
Published On: Jan 13 2014 05:04:27 PM CST

Updated On: Jan 14 2014 01:15:33 PM CST
The legalization of medical marijuana is now up for discussion in the Pennsylvania Senate.
A bipartisan proposal filed Monday seeks to legalize medical cannabis. The bill is sponsored by Democrat Daylin Leach, who represents parts of Delaware and Montgomery counties, and Republican Mike Folmer, who represents parts of Berks, Chester, Dauphin, Lancaster and Lebanon counties.
The state senators have begun a "Meet the Kids" campaign, which showcases sick children who the lawmakers believe would benefit from the passing of the bill.
This is the first bipartisan medical cannabis bill introduced in Pennsylvania's history.

Where are the carolers?
Christmas caroling is a fading tradition
What happened
Christmas caroling is a fading tradition—22 percent of Americans planned to go caroling in 1996, but by 2005 the figure had fallen to 6 percent, according to surveys by the National Christmas Tree Association. (USA Today)
What the commentators said
Caroling isn't dead, said Steven Vegh in The Virginian-Pilot. Church groups and children's choirs still make appearances in airports and nursing homes and students' neighborhoods, although it can take some effort to find them. "Live caroling" isn't as common as it once was, but the tradition is "hanging on."
Face it, said Ralph Keyes in The Christian Science Monitor. "Roving carolers" are out and "How to Survive the Holidays" workshops are in. Christmas just isn't what it used to be. With all the gift lists and obligations, the season is all about stress now, rather than good cheer.
It's political correctness that may be silencing holiday music, said Annette Batson in the Montclair, N.J., blogging site Baristanet. School choruses and bands used to perform the Hallelujah chorus and Handel's Messiah along with pieces that were Hanukkah or Kwanzaa oriented. But a few years back principals began scrubbing these experiences from the season.
"It's a good time to be an atheist in America," said Robert H. Knight in Human Events. Atheist writers are selling their manifestos "by the bin," blaming Christianity for society's evils and crediting secularism for tolerance and freedom. This "balderdash" is, of course, "utterly false."

Atlanta's Healthiest Employers
Time: 7:30 am - 9:30 am
Place: Georgia Aquarium
Wellness programs aid retention, recruitment
Send this to a friend
- Martin Sinderman, contributing WRITER
Making an investment in the wellness of their workforces in the form of wellness programs can pay for employers in numerous ways.
Employers increasingly offer wellness programs for reasons that, in addition to aiding in employee retention, include reducing health-care costs and increasing employee productivity, engagement and morale, according to Steve Fallon, president of Fallon Benefits Group Inc., an Atlanta employee benefits brokerage and consulting firm.
"Wellness benefits are becoming much more common in all types of workplace settings, so employees are beginning to expect some sort of wellness offering included in the benefits program," Fallon said.
"Employees who are making healthy choices at home usually do not want to work in an unhealthy environment," Fallon said.
Wellness activities also build camaraderie, he said. "Employees who share in the achievement of wellness goals tend to see the team environment carry into work relationships."
Fallon's wellness benefits program has recently begun requiring employees to participate in the on-site biometric screenings in order to be eligible for the company's medical plan and the wellness reimbursement program. The company has also added on-site individual coaching with a registered dietitian and a personal trainer, and on-site chiropractic sessions; and is also moving toward ergonomic workstations on an as-needed basis for employees.
Service Foods Inc., a provider of all-natural foods for home delivery, has an employee wellness program that includes free use of medical professionals, discounts on all-natural foods, and free or discounted gym memberships.

Video: Ferrari drivers cut loose at Santander event
Mar 6, 2013, 8:19 AM EST
After the other teams had packed up and headed home from the last test at the Circuit de Catalunya the Ferrari drivers hung around to have some fun at an event for sponsor Santander.
This involved driving journalists, guests and each other around the home of the Spanish Grand Prix in Ferrari 458 road cars.
Here are Felipe Massa and Fernando Alonso taking each other around a lap of the track, mostly sideways, their tires screaming in disapproval.
Judging by Alonso's expression in the second half of the video he's about as good a passenger as I am…
The team's newest recruit Pedro de la Rosa also got to join in the fun. Here's video from his car as he races around the track with Alonso – both drivers spinning as they try to get the better of each other:
Expect Massa and Alonso's driving to be rather more disciplined when they take to the track for real in the first race of the season in Australia next week.

It's not just celebrities who know how to show off their assets.
November is Manatee Awareness Month, and with that in mind we present some up close photos of this endangered, homely-cute wanderer.
Put the fright in your Halloween Friday with these creatures born to the world with unsettling looks and sublime spookiness.
These animals know how to brighten the land, sea, or wherever they happen to live.
Veteran photojournalist captures the fierce hunters in a quiet moment that harkens back to a bygone era for the big cats.
These spiders have super leg-spans and cunning attitudes to match their size.
Cuter than you might imagine, but just as slow as you think, these critters know how to pace themselves.
With their distinctive, equine-like snouts and bright colors, you'd be hard pressed to find a more fascinating creature in the ocean than a sea horse.

Standing in line to pay at the pharmacy, the elderly man pauses. Yes, he needs the medicine, but if he pays for that, he won't have any money for food for the rest of the week. What should he do?The single mother of three girls sighs as she realizes she won't be able to pay the electricity bill again this month. Yes, she knows they'll probably turn the service off, and yes, she'll have to pay a big charge to have it turned back on, but if she pays the bill today, there won't be anything but pasta for the girls to eat until next paycheck. That's not healthy, but what else can she do?The two teenage boys are embarrassed, but they ask anyway. Their mother passed away, their father is mostly absent, there's no one else to help. On school days, the free sandwich they get at snack time often constitutes their main meal of the day. Finally the older boy asks the counselor: "On Sundays, could we please have two sandwiches? There's never any food on Shabbat, so on Sunday we're really hungry." "This is not the Israel we dreamed of when we made aliya," says Zara Provisor, who has just celebrated the 25th anniversary of her aliya from London. As volunteer head of Leket Israel's Sandwiches for Kids project, Provisor sees the need every day, especially among schoolchildren. "In Israel, the gap between the haves and have-nots is growing," she says. "Children suffer the most. Some of them come to school without breakfast. They don't have anything for the 10 a.m. snack, and when they get home from school there won't be anything ready for them then, either. It just breaks your heart." The good news is that as the need continued to grow, Israel's two largest charitable food service organizations merged their operations, greatly enhancing their ability to serve the country's neediest citizens. In January, Table to Table, Israel's primary "food rescue" charity, and Leket, the country's biggest charitable food purchase organization, joined forces and now operate under the name Leket Israel. With the merger, Leket Israel becomes Israel's biggest charitable food service organization, dedicated to collecting all kinds of food slated to be discarded and redirecting it to needy people all over the country."The merger makes perfect sense," says Ron Guttmann, one of the founders of Leket and now deputy chairman of Leket Israel. "I sat on the board of Table to Table, and Joseph Gitler of Table to Table sat on our board. We'd go to each other's board meetings, sit there side by side, until one day it dawned on both of us: We're both working to serve the same people, so why do we have two organizations? Why not combine our efforts?"So we did," he continues. "The combined organization is much stronger. We're much more efficient, we're doing everything better – including fund-raising – because the one thing donors look for is efficiency. There hasn't been any negative reaction at all. Even the legalities were simple.""Neither of us had our egos involved in what we did, so the technicalities were accomplished very quickly," Guttmann adds. The timing was propitious. "Over 1.7 million Israelis – 750,000 of them children – need approximately 140,000 additional tons of food a year," Guttmann says. "If you put all of Israel's existing food assistance organizations together, they collect, rescue and provide no more than 25,000 tons, about 10 to 15 percent of what's needed. With our newly combined strength, Leket Israel will be able to tap into the resources of the Global Food Banking Network, an international food-bank support organization, and we'll be able to make a significant impact in improving the situation." The problem in Israel isn't so much hunger as food insecurity, says Gitler, founder of Table to Table and now chairman of Leket Israel. "You don't see distended bellies here like you do in some African countries," Gitler says. "Our problem here is that we have a significant percentage of low-income people who are forced to make difficult decisions about how to spend what money they have. Frequently they have to skimp on food in order to pay the rent, meet other expenses or pay for medicine," he says. "There's plenty of food in Israel," he continues. "What we have to figure out is how to take food that's going to be wasted and get it into the hands of people who need it. Preventing food wastage was the reason Table to Table came into being." THE INSPIRING story of how Gitler, then a 28-year-old, three-year oleh from New York, decided to establish Table to Table has become something of a legend. While attending a simha one evening, he saw that leftover unserved food was about to be thrown away. He remembered seeing homeless or hungry people on the street as he walked in. "Why not give that extra food to people who are hungry?" he reasoned, and then decided to do it himself.He boxed up the extra food, carried it to his car and drove it to the nearest soup kitchen. It became a pattern: As a food-rescue operation of one, he began going out a couple of evenings a week to pick up leftover food and redeliver it. When others heard what he was doing, they began calling and telling him when food was available. Friends stepped in to help, picking up food and delivering it in their own cars. As an organization, Table to Table came into being in 2003, rescuing food in Ra'anana, Herzliya and Kfar Saba. At the time of the merger, Table to Table was providing more than 110 tons of food per week to over 230 soup kitchens, homeless shelters, senior citizen centers and other social service organizations around Israel.Leket came into being in 2006. "It started with a research project," Guttmann says. "As CEO of Unilever in Israel, I'd been deeply involved in all aspects of food – making it, delivering it and dealing with issues of nutrition. A study done in 2004 showed that 20% of the Israeli population suffered from general food insecurity and an additional 11% were in far more serious trouble, lacking enough food to make a meal," he says.
