Knife-wielding man threatens to blow up fuel island
KINGMAN – A Kingman police officer reportedly shot a suspect who refused to drop a knife during a confrontation following a police pursuit Saturday, November 15. The Lake Havasu City Police Department is conducting an independent investigation of the officer-involved shooting. A report of a subject threatening to blow up the fuel island at the Flying J truck stop drew a police response at 4:23 p.m. to the business in the 3300 block of East Andy Devine Avenue. The driver of the suspect vehicle reportedly saluted the first arriving officer with his middle finger before a police pursuit later began several blocks away.Lake Havasu City police sergeant Troy Stirling said the driver who was subsequently identified as Frederick J. Coles, 63, Kingman, twice tried to ram a police vehicle driven by officer Zachary Clark before he stopped abruptly in the vicinity of DW Ranch Road and Interstate 40. Stirling said Coles exited his vehicle wielding a 10-inch-long knife that he refused to drop as repeatedly instructed. "Officer Clark feared for his life and personal safety and fired twice at Coles striking him once," Stirling said. "Coles did not drop the knife after being shot, but would not follow the Officer's directions to go to the ground. Coles was eventually taken to the ground by a TASER X26 deployed by a Mohave County Sheriff's Office deputy who arrived on-scene." Coles was transported to Kingman Regional Medical Center where he was discharged following treatment for a minor gunshot wound. He was subsequently booked into the Mohave County jail on unlawful flight, threatening and intimidating and aggravated assault-related charges. Officer Clark was placed on paid administrative leave, which is standard procedure while officer-involved shootings are under review.

Kingman Farms loses venture partner
- Details
Pistachios, almonds, walnuts, wheat, cotton and alfalfa will be farmed by Red Lake Ventures
KINGMAN – The challenge of turning desert to farmland has drawn a new player where developer Jim Rhodes has already generated plenty of controversy and water depletion paranoia in northwest Arizona. A pension fund investment pool headed by Bob Saul of Massachusetts has acquired more than 8,000 acres to grow crops on the south end of the area known as Red Lake, about 20 miles north of Kingman. "We saw this as probably the most exciting agricultural project in the country. You just don't see the opportunity to convert essentially desert basin into green agriculture from scratch," Saul said. "Where you see water you often don't see the soil quality that you have out there in the Red Lake basin. So those things come together and, to a dispassionate investor, they look very attractive." Saul said Red Lake Ventures, a limited liability company established in April, purchased some of its acreage from Rhodes and that Rhodes donated the rest to become a minority partner in the enterprise. He said Red Lake Ventures entered a contract that essentially employed the Rhodes-held Kingman Farms to develop the agricultural endeavor. Saul said Kingman Farms has failed to meet many operational performance standards and that Red Lake Ventures is terminating its contract. "We're in the process of extricating ourselves from the relationships which we've made over the past six months or so," Saul said. "What we're doing is separating ourselves from Jim Rhodes' farming." An equipment-related dispute between the parties has been reviewed by the Mohave County Sheriff's Office. Sheriff Jim McCabe said it appears those issues need to be resolved outside law enforcement, either by the parties or through civil litigation. Saul declined to outline the dispute and neither Rhodes' attorney, nor the marketing director for Kingman Farms, returned telephone calls seeking information and comment. Larry Hancock, who farms about 17,000 acres throughout Arizona, is serving as a consultant to Red Lake Ventures. He said the operation is viable and that pistachios, almonds, walnuts, wheat, cotton and alfalfa are among the early crop considerations. "Anywhere you have good soil and good water in Arizona, you can pretty much grow anything," Hancock said. Rhodes retains some 40,000 acres on the north end of Red Lake. His massive water well development and farming efforts have generated aquifer depletion concerns by citizens, the City of Kingman, Mohave County, the Hualapai Tribe and others. Rhodes initially promised to use water conservation irrigation techniques early this year, but quickly switched to massive circle pivot systems that shoot water from suspended sprinklers. Saul said Red Lake Ventures will eventually remove most of the pivot systems and convert to lower water use methods and use drip irrigation systems on the property. "It's in our interest to optimize every drop of water we have coming out of that ground," Saul said. He said Red Lake Ventures strongly objects to Rhodes' proposal to the BLM to swap some 20,000 acres to consolidate holdings separated by a checkerboard pattern of private and public ownership. "We're very, very much against that. It doesn't serve our interests. It lowers the sustainability of the Red Lake aquifers and if we're looking to do sustainable agriculture for a long period of time, someone controlling that much land and picking up that much water is not in our interest. That's one of the many places where we diverge with Jim."

Voters reject BHC general plan
- Details
Bullhead City floated the proposal only because it was dictated under state law
BULLHEAD CITY – Bullhead City manager Toby Cotter said voter rejection of the general plan will have little if any impact on the community. The measure was defeated by just 85 votes during the November 4 general election. Cotter explained the city floated the proposal only because it was dictated under state law. He said rejection of the proposal is a little puzzling because no opposition was detected during a series of public voter information forums. "Not one person spoke against the general plan at any public hearing at any time and we had a slew of them," Cotter said. "So, it was definitely was probably just an issue of the voter not understanding what the general plan does. Cotter said voter rejection means that the City's current general plan, nearly identical to the defeated measure, will remain in place for at least two more years. "The plan we're guided by right now will still be the same plan and it functions very well," Cotter said. He said the City must bring another general plan proposal to the electorate in 2016.
Blaze destroys home

Luxury home fire under investigation
An expensive home burning in a high dollar residential area in the west Kingman foothills captured the attention of rush hour commuters Monday afternoon. Heavy smoke filled the sky and orange flames were visible to the community as Kingman Fire Department personnel responded at 5:15 p.m. The 9,000 square foot home reportedly owned and rented out by Dr. Al Khatib was heavily involved in fire when crews arrived. The sound of shattering glass and falling debris could be heard from the perimeter of the 417 5L Ranch property. Battalion Chief Porter Williams said crews pulled out of the burning structure just before there were multiple roof collapses in the interior. He said personnel were forced for the purpose of public safety to convert from an aggressive to a defensive firefighting approach. Williams said there were no injuries and that the heavily damaged home would represent a loss of at least $500,000. He said it was learned that the fire was actually just outside the Kingman City limits so the investigation as to cause is being turned over to the Northern Arizona Consolidated Fire District.
Bighorn release
- Details
Last week the Arizona Game and Fish Department captured 40 bighorn sheep in the Black Mountains west of Kingman. On Tuesday afternoon the animals were released near Peoples Canyon in the Arrastra Wilderness Area located about 30 minutes south of Wikieup. This was the third, and potentially last, relocation to this particular location which provides suitable habitat for bighorn sheep. Although a few sheep had been spotted in this area prior to the releases, this effort is expected to restore a population that had been virtually absent for about 100 years. These releases are expected to bolster the population and improve overall genetic diversity. Part of the effort included placement of 27 radio collars on the animals that will allow Game and Fish personnel to study movement and mortality.
Sixta back in business

ADRE gives realtor consent order
KINGMAN – The Arizona Department of Real Estate has vacated the cease and desist order that in August it imposed upon broker Debra Sixta and the Kingman-based Mohave Integrity Real Estate Services property management firm she owns and operates. The agency took action for what it called numerous violations and deficiencies in accounting and banking practice. Sixta retained an accounting firm, purchased and implemented a new computer bookkeeping program and reconciled all accounts. She also retained Phoenix attorney Bob Spurlock who exercised her right of appeal and was granted an informal hearing before the Department. "We did achieve a resolution of the matter. A consent order has been agreed upon with the Department of Real Estate and the Commissioner," Spurlock said. "Mohave Integrity is back in business." Sixta said cease and desist order publicity hurt her business. She and Spurlock said no money went missing as it appeared to many of those who heard about the order or read it themselves. "To a layman, reading that cease and desist order, it appears that there's wrongdoing. There is not wrongdoing and the Department didn't find any wrongdoing," Spurlock said. "Reconciliation of accounts doesn't mean that somebody has made off with $48,000. It means that money is in the wrong account. It means that money is there. And, in this case, it means that money was not in the correctly identified account." Sixta has agreed to pay a $5,000 fine as part of the consent order vacating the cease and desist order. She has also agreed to some continuing education with an emphasis on trust account administration and record keeping. The consent order indicated that the Department has determined that Sixta cooperated to alleviate violations and that she has substantially complied with relevant requirements and regulations. Sixta said the silver lining in resolving the matter is that her business has taken the steps to improve its accounting and maintain compliance in the future. "That's the positive," Sixta said. "We are all good to go."
Opponents to CON say district could lose up to $900,000
- Details
GOLDEN VALLEY – Concern and questions have arisen from the administrative hearing recently completed in Phoenix regarding the Golden Valley Fire District's formal request for a Certificate of Necessity (CON) to provide ground based ambulance transport service. Critics of the proposal have focused on one assessment showing the enterprise would result in an annual district loss of about $900,000. Fire District attorney Kathy Steadman, during a special November 6 meeting, told governing board and audience members that the loss calculation is a product of application of an unrealistic accrual accounting model. Fire Chief Thomas O'Donohue and Board member Steve Robinson maintain instead that use of traditional accounting methods project ambulance operations would generate about $460,000 in revenue in excess of expense on an annual basis.Board member Paul Gorham said his more conservative calculation projects ambulance service provision would clear the fire district about $372,000 per year. Board member Rhonda Brooks and Board member-elect Jack Hommel question the calculations and argue that providing ambulance service will net a loss that will have to be subsidized by district taxpayers. The district's pursuit of ambulance service has been a three year effort for Steadman. She said parties will submit summation briefs in support of their case by January 9. She said replies will follow with an administrative law judge eventually forwarding her CON recommendation to the Director of the Arizona Department of Health Services. A final decision on the ambulance service question is expected by next February or March
CON petition hearing held

GOLDEN VALLEY – A hearing regarding the Golden Valley Fire District's petition for a Certificate of Necessity (CON) to provide ground based ambulance transport service concluded November 5. The proceeding in Phoenix began on October 27. Parties to the case in coming weeks will be submitting briefs and offer conclusions of fact to the Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) who has presided over the matter. The ALJ will eventually forward her recommended order for a final determination by the Arizona Department of Health Services Director. Parties expect a final decision in the latter part of the first quarter of next year. River Medical, the company that has provided ambulance service to Golden Valley for roughly 30 years, has vigorously protested awarding the CON to the fire district

Don't let the title of Khizman's first feature fool you into thinking that the up-and-coming emcee's on-the-mic skills are merely acceptable (or that he hails from the great state of Oklahoma). As I believe Booth readers will agree, this EP inclusion deserves much more than a wishy-washy "OK." Here, a funky, guitar-driven sample from Alright With Me artists/producers Keelay & Zaire sets the stage for a double-helping of vivid, engagingly-flowed braggadocio. Though those who haven't eaten lunch may find their stomachs rumbling thanks to the artist's heavy use of food-related similes (in addition to calling out all "turkey-ass n*ggas," the rapper compares himself to Stovetop stuffing and hot butter.), the record should satisfy those hungry for head-nodding beats and on-point lyrics. If OK leaves you patting your belly, there's much more where this came from. Khizman's latest street album, URB.com Presents: The Trophy Winner dropped December 1 and is available for free download here.

Walters corrals stars to talk about heart surgery
"I don't know why I wasn't more scared, but I wasn't," she said. "And there were aspects of it that I enjoyed."
They included eating hot dogs and baloney sandwiches, as doctors encouraged her to gain weight she lost in the hospital. Walters was also touched by the people who reached out to her. Tom Cruise called three times.
When she thinks about how the experience changed her, she noted that she's staying away from the "shoulds": events she thought she had to attend; work she thought she had to do.
"I don't do that anymore," she said. "I don't go to cocktail parties. I try, when I look at my calendar, to make sure that every day is pleasant, that I look forward to it. I did stories sometimes that I wasn't interested in because I should, so I'd appear on the air. I don't do that now."
The ABC special is more than celebrity tales. She talks to doctors, including her own, about prevention and the warning signs of heart trouble. Walters particularly wanted women to take notice, because many worry more about cancer than heart disease. Women need to understand that their symptoms of heart disease are often quite different from men, she said.
In a sobering conversation, she spoke to Luke Russert, son of the late NBC newsman Tim Russert, who died of a heart attack even as he was taking medication and trying to stay on top of potential heart disease.
She asked Clinton about pictures taken of him at his daughter Chelsea's wedding last summer, and how some people believed he looked gaunt and may be sick.
No, Clinton said, he had been trying to lose weight and was sticking to a diet heavy on fruits, grains and vegetables. He has another incentive now to keep healthy.
"That's my next goal," he told her. "I want to hang around here to have grandchildren."
ABC is owned by The Walt Disney Co.

Like most Lithuanians doing the talking that they cannot do at home. They are a bit like Swedes (a poorer version of Swedes) , always sharing their expertise when it comes to adventures everywhere but in Sweden. And always telling other people what to do.
But he has a point: Titan. Find students (that also applies to Vilnius) from the countryside and you will find easy pussy. Or at least relatively easy.
Crowne Plaza: if you bring them from or through Next, it should not be a problem. It is like an internal affair so to speak. Like in Radisson Blu Lietuva in Vilnius. You take the girl to Sky Bar and then go to the room. A piece of advice: walk the girl downstairs after the job is done because the security guys are very much into harassing girls to get from them some extra litas or even to convince them to share profits. They are a bit like traffic police in Rainland.

Hi, I'm Lithuanian from Vilnius, so Minsk is located just 180 km from my town. Used to go there very often, but now haven't been to Minsk for one year, but doing my visa and going to go there for amazing weekends again. Ussualy going by train to avoid sometimes long queues on the border, it's very comfortable. Oschkosch. I've never lived in a hotel there that's why I don't kwow anything about that, and I would never do that. As my Belarusian friends told me it's much more expensive and everywhere they need a passport (to use internet in a cafe, to buy local sim card) , so I don't even know I I would be able to bring a local girl with me. I think it's much better and cheaper to rent an apartment in the center. There are plenty of them, starting from 50& for two bedrooms decent one, for 80-100$ you would get luxury apartment in best places with jakuzzi and everything you need, and you can do what you, bring as many girls as you want, any time, no passports, or smth. I speak fluent in Russian and think it's important to know some of this language, because not many girls speak English, they don't have many international companies, it's not that popular there, so sometimes you might have a problem have conversation, that's what I've heard from my forein friend, but I might be wrong, because I speak Russian ther and don't care about other languages. Girls are really nice and good looking, for me they are much better than here in Vilnius. Here they become snobby as in Europe with high requirements, in Minsk people are much more simple. About clubs, sex and hanging out. I haven't been much in other eastern European countries, but it's the best for me, even better than Thai. I wouldn't agree with some of you that girls are conservative in Belarus, I find them beautiful, nice and easy. I have so many adventures in Minsk, such as one night fuck one girl, and next night her friend, BJ and fuck early morning after the club in dressing cabin by the Minsk Sea (lake outside Minsk). How girls from mamba come to your apartment without knowing you at all, just seeing your pics, even you staying there with male friends and drink vodka, after few nice words they come, once one girl came, once other girl find a friend and two of them came, my English friends were shocked about that, said that would never happened in th UK. Been in many best clubs there, of course the best biggest, and most luxury is Dozori. But there are many other clubs where you can find nice, beautiful girl for the night (Medison, Africa, Titan and many more) Amazing is that anywhere you will find plenty amazing girls. Haven't been in Titan yet, but it's a big club near the huge new built students town, so should be many easy 18-22 year girls, going to try it soon. Of course not every girl goes with you right away, sometimes you can stay without fuck after spending all night with a new girl, but it's amazing country for me, might try other towns which should be even more easy, for example Mogiliov, less foreiner bigger chances for you. I never pay for sex, but if you don't find a girl for a night and don't mind spend 100-200$ for fuck it's immposible to stay without fuck in Minsk. Loads of that kind of girls in Next club.

Do as I say, not as I do?
thanks, mate, for your always priceless advice. perhaps you should use it. i was just referring to the message written by a guy who was planning to travel to minsk driving some bummer 3 series (read below; i am sure you will find it). the guy seemed to think that he would be welcome like michael knight reborn by the local females. felixnordic (together with you, probably doing charity work for some funky church and sent on evangelic missions to belarus) gave him the speech "son, spend 100 years in the city and you will be loved, otherwise you have no chance to get any". i just wrote that it starts sounding boring and that week travelers can get laid if they invest their time and money wisely, pretty much like everywhere else.
by the way, mate, i live in vilnius (lived here for a while already, as in full time living) , i am not a tourist in the region. and lately i have been travelling to minsk quite regularly. i am sure your advice can help missionaries and similar crew to find their way in minsk. self high five. minsk is 5 bars / clubs, some mamba and the usual friends (jack daniels, some benjamin franklins, a pair of good shoes and all that stuff). any normal guy can cope with the challenge.

Time to be spent blahblahblah.
It starts getting boring all those stories about the amount of centuries of dating one needs to put into Belarusian girls to get them into bed. Perhaps it would be better to explain what one should do and where should go to get laid in Minsk, because it is possible. That some people love meditating and feeling loved and adored by the locals due to the time and attention invested? Fine. It is clear that Minsk is not Pattaya, but let's get real. It is neither Manhattan nor Chelsea either.

Cars and Belarusian girls
If you only have a week and feel like going to Minsk, do it. I am sure you will find your way if you really pay attention to things (basically you can hit the sack every night if you go to Next and have some cash).
The car business is another thing. The car you mentioned will not impress anyone in central Minsk, mainly because many local guys drive much better cars. The same applies to Vilnius or Riga. There are more Bentley in Vilnius than in Stockholm, for example. Post-soviet dudes love their wheels and all their incomes go into that currently. And in Europe, in general, people do not "cruise" unless you are a peasant. Focus on your attire much more and use the car as pure transport (if needed).

Just a couple of hints. You should not think belarussian will be impressed by your car. Or at least they will not show it. You can not pick girls up on the street, you are very, very naive if you think they will do this. If I were you I. And then you obvious do not speak any Russian. I will forget Belarus. I do not think you will have any luck there. Belarus is very fun, but the girls there are much more conservative and harder to impress with material things than in Ukraine. The girls in Belarus are actually a little conservative and will often expect to be taken out 2-3 times before they give you sex and kisses. If you only have a week, and you do not know the culture, go to Ukraine instead. I enjoyed both Kiev, Dnepr and Yalta. It will be easier for you. You could cruise by the beaches in Yalta.
The roads though in Belarus are fine. It is not a third world country. But please do your reseach. Not just here, read a Lonely Planet book or something.

Blocking Mamba
Hi there,
I tried to find a girl in Minsk but actually it seems to be hard to do that via Mamba. I had been blocked several times.
Any recommendations to avoid that?

Minsk Report
I just came back from a 6 day trip to Minsk. I used booking. Com and got a place from Belrent Apartments. The studio was clean and decorated comfortably. I was real close to the McDonalds on Lenina 4 Street. Great location.
I never knew Minsk was such a beautiful and clean city. I was pleasantly surprised. As for the women. 3 words. OH MY GOD! Pretty girls EVERYWHERE. They are all fit and dressed smartly. I had done some research on Mamba and pre-arranged to meet a few. I never got around to calling or meeting anyone that I had friended on Mamba. I just met random girls and in fact ended up spending 2 nights with a local girl I met on the plane going to Minsk. Let me just say this, Minsk is one place I will be visiting again hopefully in the near future.
You local Minskians are lucky! Enjoy what you have.
Stay safe and have fun!

March 25, 2013
By Evan Lockridge
It may not be until Wednesday when a section of I-77 northbound reopens following a rockslide that happened on March 20.
The area is in Bluefield, W. Va., at mile marker 3, near the Virginia line.
Officials were hoping to have the section reopened sooner, but wintry weather is slowing efforts not only to clean things up but also to also stabilize the hillside.
During the shutdown, traffic is rerouted to U.S. 460, which then reconnects with the Interstate.
No injuries resulted from the rockslide.

Reducing visits to the operating room for breast cancer patients
Swedish Cancer Institute has changed the way early stage breast cancer patients are cared for by adopting new surgical margin guidelines. These guidelines will reduce the need for taking women back to the operating room if cancer cells are found at or near the specimen edge, also known as the margin. Following extensive review of the data, this new guideline was established by breast experts from the Society of Surgical Oncology and the American Society of Radiation Oncology and has been endorsed by the American Society of Breast Surgeons and the American Society of Clinical Oncology.
Many women with early stage invasive breast cancer opt for breast conserving surgery, known as lumpectomy or partial mastectomy. For 20-25% of these patients, a second surgery or re-excision was performed because the margin was not considered adequate based on previous practice guidelines. The latest peer reviewed evidence shows disease control is excellent when surgery is combined with whole breast radiation with or without hormonal therapy and/or chemotherapy, regardless of the margin width.
The Swedish Cancer Institute's multidisciplinary breast cancer team reviewed and approved these guidelines for our program. We believe by reducing the need ...

Richard Sherman's cancer 'rant' goes viral, tops 100,000 views
One week ago today, we posted a YouTube video of Seattle Seahawks star Richard Sherman sounding off on cancer as part of the Swedish Cancer institute's campaign o spread the word about the launch of its new Personalized Medicine Program.
We had no idea the video would quickly go viral. This morning, the video topped 100,000 views on YouTube.
Not only has the video struck a chord with so many viewers who can relate to the need for a better approach to fighting cancer, it has also grabbed the attention of the media. Here is just a sampling of all the news outlets that have posted, covered or shared it on social media:
Thanks to Richard Sherman and everyone for helping to spread the word about extraordinary care and extraordinary caring at Swedish Cancer Institute.
Facts and myths about antioxidants and cancer
Fact: Damage to genes, particularly those involved in the regulation of cell division and cell death, is the key event in the development of cancer.
Fact: Oxidants are substances, most often generated by our own body, that cause damage to chemicals, including the DNA that makes up our genes, by oxidizing them. The oxidation reaction most familiar to us is when metal rusts.
Fact: Our bodies' oxidants can contribute to cancer.
Half-fact: Antioxidants are chemicals we ingest that then run around neutralizing oxidants, rendering them powerless to promote cancer. The so-called antioxidant vitamins, of which vitamin C, E, and beta-carotene are the most well known are more properly called redox agents. In a particular environment, they prevent or reverse oxidation, called reduction. But they may change the acidity or even just the concentrations of the components of the reaction, and they may facilitate just the opposite. For example ....
The Swedish Cancer Institute Launches Personalized Medicine Program
Richard Sherman, Swedish donors support new program that combines genomic medicine, supportive care
News Release
Contacts: Clay Holtzman, Swedish, 206-386-2748, firstname.lastname@example.com
SEATTLE — April 28, 2014 — The Swedish Cancer Institute (SCI) today announced its new Personalized Medicine Program that combines advanced medical treatments based on the unique, molecular signature of a patient's cancer with supportive care that is designed to serve each individual's physical and emotional health.
"Patients diagnosed with cancer often find themselves having to choose between advanced treatment programs typically associated with academic or research centers, and the patient-centered care they expect from their community hospital," said SCI Executive Director Thomas Brown, M.D. "The Swedish Cancer Institute has a long history of extraordinary care, and with the addition of genomic medicine, we are continuing our legacy of giving patients the best of both worlds, now through our Personalized Medicine Program."
Each patient is unique at the cellular level, so understanding the molecular fingerprint of an individual's cancer helps guide treatment decisions. Combined with the comprehensive social services available to address the complex needs of patients and their families, SCI is striving to provide the most comprehensive, best-practice approach to treating cancer.
To kick-off the Personalized Medicine Program, SCI is launching a public awareness campaign that includes informative content on SwedishCancerInstitute.org as well as television spots, the first of which features Seattle Seahawks All-Pro Cornerback Richard Sherman. The video is available for viewing here.
"When I was asked to support the Swedish Cancer Institute's Personalized Medicine Program, I realized I had a new opportunity to continue my passion for supporting the Seattle community," said Sherman, who was recently named one of the 2014's 100 Most Influential People in the World by TIME. "I'm honored to be a part of the innovative work the Swedish Cancer Institute is doing on behalf of patients and families across our region."

VaxTrac is excited to announce a $2.5 million investment from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to support development and implementation of improved technology for our ongoing childhood immunization project in Benin, West Africa. Since 2012, VaxTrac has been equipping and training frontline health workers in Benin to use a mobile vaccine registry system, with the goal of improving record-keeping, reducing vaccine waste, and improving vaccine schedule adherence among caretakers of children under five.
While historically the VaxTrac system has used netbooks and an attached fingerprint scanner, this award will enable our team to roll out a new Android-based iteration that can be used on any Android smartphone or tablet. The new system will be designed entirely on feedback from frontline health workers and decision makers from Benin and will allow for a more intuitive work flow and data management process. It will include updated versions of key features, such as parental fingerprint scanning, callback lists, and user-friendly data formatted specifically to the needs of decision makers. This most recent investment will also allow us to expand our coverage, ensuring that more children are immunized accurately and on time.
While we are currently serving 120 health facilities across two health zones in the coastal region of the country, the ongoing support of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation will allow us to add an additional zone in the dynamic resource setting of northern Benin, bringing an additional 126 frontline health workers from 25 health centers serving 148 villages into our scope. This award is the result of continued collaboration among VaxTrac, the Benin Ministry of Health, UNICEF, and the World Health Organization. We are thrilled about the continued support of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and look forward to continuing our work to improve child health in Benin.
Hello VaxTrac community! As my first full week comes to a close I'm happy to announce how thrilled I am to be a part of such a hands on and collaborative team. From the beginning I've been excited to work for a group that is directly impacting others around the world in such a positive way. I come from a Marketing and Business Management educational background and bring accounting and financial experiences from several different industries, including construction and legal practices. To finally have the opportunity to apply my office skills and creative passions for a worthy cause is a dream come true. I am in awe of the WeWork Wonder Bread facility we get to work in. We are definitely surrounded by a dedicated group of talented people that cultivates an inspiring work environment. Great for the coming winter months!
I moved to DC a year ago and originally hail from Seattle, Washington. I grew up there, as many others from the Pacific Northwest, with a huge love for the great outdoors. Anytime I can get to go hiking, running or swimming I'm a happy camper. As a little girl I wasn't allowed to come inside unless it was time to eat; I miss those days! I have enjoyed the east coast and try to see as much of this side of the country as I can. It's amazing how much ground you can cover in just a short weekend trip. Everything is so close to each other! I love photography and I've been blessed with a lot of opportunity for adventure in the area. I've been camping on a beach with wild horses on Assateague Island, went rock climbing over a lake at New River Gorge, visited George Washington's home in Mount Vernon and hope to have many other photo ops in this coming fall season. I also love food. I know it isn't all that original, but I do enjoy playing around with different things and getting to eat, eat, EAT.
All in all, I'm pretty open to new things and the fact that I get to work with an organization directly impacting places and improving the lives of people around the world is just wonderful. I am beyond grateful and humbled to work with such driven and established people. I look forward to supporting all of our teams in administrative, HR and accounting roles. I'll also be working with our team to upgrade our website. We've got a lot of great ideas and with the implementation of tablets in Benin and new project in Nepal coming up soon we'll have a lot to share. As I continue to learn more about VaxTrac's endeavors I'll be sharing them with all of you on our social media platforms! Stay tuned, I think it's going to a lot of fun!
Lauren Spigel here signing in as VaxTrac's newest Program Associate. Tomorrow marks my one week anniversary with VaxTrac and I'm absolutely thrilled to be here.
I come to VaxTrac with several years of global health experience. After focusing on international health as an undergraduate at the University of Maryland, I decided to go off into the world and get some field experience. I served as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Nicaragua from 2011-2013, where I lived in a bustling community in the mountains, worked on health education activities on the municipal level, ate fresh avocados, adopted a puppy, and drank fresh juice out of the corner of plastic bags.
My work in Nicaragua primarily focused on sexual and reproductive health among women in rural areas. I worked with the local Ministry of Health to train brigadistas (community health volunteers) in various health themes, had women's groups and a weekly radio show. One of the most exciting projects that came out of my Peace Corps service is ChatSalud, a project that uses mobile phones to connect youth to sexual and reproductive health information via SMS. The project sparked my interest and passion for mobile health (mHealth), which takes advantage of the fact that 90% of the world's population has access to mobile phones. mHealth provides an unparalleled opportunity to expand the reach of existing health care systems to the least accessible corners of the world.
Upon returning Stateside, I completed the Master of Public Health program at Johns Hopkins School of Public Health, where I became actively involved in the JHU Global mHealth Initiative and managed to incorporate mHealth into most of my classes.
I'm so excited to bring my knowledge and experience to VaxTrac's projects. Beyond that, VaxTrac has been so incredibly warm and welcoming. My Nicaraguan dog Maní and I have been settling into life at the office and I'm so thrilled to be part of the VaxTrac family.
More updates to come, as Meredith has informed me that we're spending a good chunk of November in Nepal!
The beautiful Summit Hotel in Kathmandu overlooks the bustling city below, nestled between sloping hills which sit comfortably in the shadow of regal snow-capped mountains. It is also full of International aid workers, because naturally, everyone wants to work in Nepal. The government estimates in fact that there are over 15,000 individual organizations working in the country throughout all sectors. As you can imagine, I was a little hesitant to dive in and start navigating the waters of partnership building in such a highly saturated ecosystem, but my fears were quickly assuaged as we jumped right in and got to work (shout out to Joon and Ravi at UNICEF Nepal for being such wonderful guides during our first hazy 48 hours!).
Mark and I spent several days in Kathmandu meeting with various stakeholders from our partners (UNICEF and WHO/CDC), to key people from the national ministry of health, and various consultants and experts from the immunization, technology, and health system strengthening space. It was an exciting, informative, and exhausting first week to say the least!
If we thought we might get a nice relaxing weekend, we were mistaken. Instead, we worked with WHO to organize a site visit to Nawalparasi in the terai region, one of two districts in which we will be implementing in early 2015. As someone so aptly explained to us, Nepal is laid out like a sidewise strip of bacon: the top golden brown layer is the mountains, the stripy red/yellow middle part is the hills, and the deep red piece that runs along the bottom is the terai. As it turns out, we will be working along the delicious bottom strip of the country that shares a border with India. Much like fresh bacon, Nawalparasi is sizzling hot.
Despite the steamy temps, we had an incredible couple of days with our colleagues from WHO, CDC, and the US Fund for UNICEF (have to insert another shout out here to Susanna, Keiko, and Michelle for being such great travel partners!). Not only were we all graciously welcomed by the District Health Office staff, we were able to gather almost all of the information necessary for our initial project planning after visiting several different types of health facilities and speaking directly with facility managers and community health workers. We saw that Nawalparasi has a very well structured vaccine delivery system and can even boast that it is a fully immunized district! Like any project, this one will not be without its challenges, but it's always a huge advantage to have such support from a local level and we certainly found that in Nawalparasi. As a small cherry on top, we were able to find a few hours in our busy schedule to visit Lumbini, the sacred birthplace of Buddha. Even in the rain, there's no denying that this is a beautiful place that compels one to pause, and self-reflect. It was a wonderful way to mark the midway point in our busy trip.
Our second week found us back in the smoky hustle and bustle of Kathmandu, meeting with some inspiring and impressive NGOs and attending an eHealth strategy workshop organized by the Ministry of Health and UNICEF, showcasing both local eHealth projects and organizations as well as those from around the world. It was so cool to see so much capacity around using technology to improve health outcomes. We left the workshop feeling more motivated than ever to get to work and find our place in this rapidly developing and innovative health system.
All in all, the trip was a huge success. It's near impossible to sum up all of the things we did and saw and what a different experience it was for me to see this part of the world. We owe a great deal to our amazing friends and colleagues both in Nepal and in the US for making it all happen. There's certainly another trip in our near future to visit our second district (Dadeldhura in the Far West) and I'm excited to share this beautiful country with the rest of our team. For now, I'll leave you with some Buzzfeed worthy trip highlights. Namaste!!
5 Things to Never Do Around Monkeys
8 Things to Buy in Nepal
By Jessi Hanson, M&E Manager
In the last decade of working in international development, I have learnt one golden truth: Trust your staff on the ground to know best! The international
development world is made up of usually two groups working together (hopefully in harmony) on a variety of projects in sectors that combat poverty, empower marginalized people, and aim to improve their quality of life. These two groups typically include: international consultants or international staff, and national staff. The first group consists of people from countries like the United States, Canada, England, or Japan, who often started out doing small volunteer stints abroad, maybe even worked in Peace Corps or the VSO. Most later got a degree in a sector like education or public health, or studied international development and international relations. They might have lived a few years abroad and authentically contributed to a few projects in the field, but a great majority work out of the main offices in cities like: Washington, D.C., London, or New York, and travel from time to time to advise or oversee projects in country. We (and I humbly include myself as one) often get endearingly referred to as the gringos, muzungus, the weepoos.
The second group of development workers, the national staff, typically are from the country or region in which they are working, spend long days each week in field, speak the local language, and have a better understanding of the people that organization labels its 'beneficiaries.' They are the knowledge on the ground, the insight to the cultural contextual reality, and more often than not, have double the experience level and management expertise than us international
It was a wonderful moment to see on one of my first trips to Benin, how much every international staff member recognized this 'golden truth' without ever specifically stating it. It was demonstrated in their actions, the way they collaborated on decisions, and the thoughtful manner they spoke about our Benin teammates. We, at VaxTrac, work hard on a variety of project initiatives to ensure our International Office and National Office have equitable inputs and decision making power. It is also something we are working to instill in our monitoring and evaluation practices.
One example was on our last trip to Benin, in June. We worked to develop a new monitoring tool, which we named the 'VaxTrac Digital System Scorecard', which assessed the use and capacity development of the health workers who we trained to use the VaxTrac digital system in clinics on a frequent basis. For most of our health workers, the VaxTrac system is the first time that they ever turned on a computer or entered data using a keyboard; so it is pretty important that we track their progress with using this system, and in a way, that we can give feedback to them and measure over all our clinics where trainees are succeeding or need more guidance.
Developing a good monitoring tool can take many months if done right, and this time was no different. As far back as January, we worked collaboratively with our Africa Regional Manager, Fidele, to draft the concept of a scorecard that would work in the local environment. Next, our team in the USA researched and drafted a first version of the Scorecard. It went back and forth several times via email to our different teams before we felt we almost had it. On the June trip, we got the entire Benin team together in a room, projected the Scorecard on the screen, and watched sat back as Fidele led his national team to dissect the tool to perfection. It took over two long hours, and then even more. They picked it apart, reshaped boxes, scraped bits we in the US thought made sense. And in the end, after several days of further pilot testing in the field and running the drafted tool by the health workers themselves to see their thoughts about the tool, we had a set product.
It takes a concerted level of humility, trust, and respect for your teammates to let a favorite pet product go for collaborative editing. But follow the 'Gold Rule'. As an international staff member, I try to remind myself everyday to trust the expertise, vision and understanding that my national team members have for something we will apply in what is 'their world'. In the end, when we work alongside the best national team, we can do that, and know in the end, the vision is even brighter and will yield just not a better product but promote a sense of community even across oceans.

OutKast's Big Boi has informed all of his Twitter followers that he has signed a one-album deal with Def Jam Records.
Despite claiming more details would come, Boi said he is now on the Def Jam roster.
"THE INK IS ON THE PAPER!!! "BREAKING NEWS!!!!" It's OFFICIAL! BIG BOI signs SOLO album DEAL with DEF JAM!!! More details to come…," he wrote late Friday (March 19) night. (Big Boi's Twitter)
His new album, Sir Luscious Leftfoot, is scheduled to come out this May.
Old rhyme partner André 3000 cameos on "Lookin 4 Ya"; the ominous, R&B-tinged "Hustle Blood" features Jamie Foxx; and "Shine Blockas," a booming, soulful jam with Gucci Mane, is already an underground hit. The release has been repeatedly delayed as Big Boi negotiates with his record label, but that's given him time to live with the music. "If I can listen to it every day for years," he says, "I know fans will wear it out when they get it." (Rolling Stone)
He recently said that the album was still being recorded.
"The album is done," says Big Boi. "Right now I'm just shooting videos. I'ma shoot a video for just about every song on the album. I shot like five videos so far, for the past three weeks. I've been editing those videos… it's coming man it's coming. I know everybody's been waiting and I'm anxious to give it to them. But it will be here soon. Trust me." (XXL Mag)
Last year, Boi said the album would not drop on Def Jam.
"It's not even on Def Jam," Boi explained in an interview. "It's not even on Def Jam. I was in a little situation, the [journalist] jumped in the interview, we was in the midst of talks and then in the midst of that, some more things happened and we in a great situation right now. That'll be announced very soon. The album should be out I think — in about 12 weeks maybe. So you know, it's coming real soon." (Maurice Garland)

I bet everyone has their favorite fast food Mexican place and no, I am not talking about Taco Bell, although it can be good from time to time. I'm talking about that little hole in the wall, that may not look like it has good food but it actually does. For me, although some from my hometown of Vancouver may disagree, my favorite little Mexican place growing up was Muchas Gracias. It has since ballooned in the city and is everywhere, but there was only one when I started eating there and I would always get the same thing, rolled tacos. Perfectly crunchy, topped with melted cheese and scoops of guacamole. I still crave them to this day so imagine how bummed I was when I didn't make it there while I was visiting last weekend. Since I was still craving them, the first thing I did when I got home was make my self some and they turned out perfect. Crunchy and loaded with cheese and guacamole. Mmm…
For the shredded beef in this recipe I did use a slow cooker to cook a 3 lb roast, now that was obviously more than enough to make the 10 taquitos that I made but I refrigerated the left overs and made some delicious sandwiches the next night for dinner. So while I did include the recipe for the shredded beef I used, if you have any left over roast this would be a great use for it.
As I said before, this made a lot of meat and I made some awesome sandwiches the next day, be sure to check back on Monday when I share the quick and easy recipe for that. Enjoy!
If we are ever together at a party, you would most likely find me hovering over the food. More specifically, you'd find me hovering over the charcuterie board. All the different kinds of meats, cheeses, spreads, crackers and breads. So many different flavor combos to create. So much deliciousness to enjoy. It is my most [...]
This time of year has always been super busy for me but add two little ones to the mix and now I can barely remember to brush my hair in the morning. And with Christmas about a month away now, it's only going to get busier around here. That is why when the nice people [...]
While the big meal is certainly what we all look forward to on Thanksgiving, the appetizers are one of my favorite parts too. We've always had trays of salami and cheese, pickles and olives, deviled eggs and, my favorite, the dips. This year, I thought I'd throw a new one in the mix with this [...]
A rustic stuffing with crusty bread, kale, bacon and Parmesan cheese.
A delicious, colorful salad, perfect for your holiday spread.
Tangy goat cheese, cream cheese, sweet garlic and crispy bacon make this cheeseball perfect for the holidays!

RATINGS: 366 WEIGHTED AVG: 3.38 SEASONAL: Special EST. CALORIES: 1230 ABV: 41%
Sink the Bismarck! is beer, amplified. With the volume turned full up, it is important you that you be careful with this beer and show it the same amount of sceptical, tentative respect you would show an international chess superstar, clown or gypsy. Sink the Bismarck is a quadruple IPA that contains four times the hops, four times the bitterness and frozen four times to create at a staggering 41% ABV. This is IPA amplified, the most evocative style of the craft beer resistance with the volume cranked off the scale. Kettle hopped, dry hopped then freeze hopped for a deep fruit, resinous and spicy aroma. A full out attack on your taste-buds ensues as the incredibly smooth liquid delivers a crescendo of malt, sweet honey, hop oils and a torpedo of hop bitterness which lasts and lasts.

Yamaha SR500 by BlitzFrance,Japan,Yamaha motorcycles
Blitz Motorcycles of France kicked up a storm when we featured their BMW R60/2 last month. It was raw and dark, and Blitz have continued the theme with their latest build—'Honda Tank'. Despite that tank, it's actually a 1993 Yamaha SR500. And the grungy looks… Read more
