Strongyloides stercoralis and other enteroparasites in children at Uberlândia city, state of Minas Gerais, Brazil.
ABSTRACT To evaluate the rate of infection by Strongyloides stercoralis and other enteroparasites a survey was conducted in the city of Uberlândia, State of Minas Gerais, Brazil. A total of 900 stool samples from 300 children aging from four months to seven years, randomly selected in ten nursery schools from September 1994 to December 1995, were examined, both by the Baermann-Moraes and Lutz methods. Thirty nine children (13%) were found to be infected by S. stercoralis, 64.1% were boys and 35.9% were girls. Taking all the enteroparasites as a whole the results of the survey pointed out that 265 (88.4%0 of the 300 children were infected by the following: Giardia lamblia, 78.3%; Ascaris lumbricoides, 15.3%; S. stercoralis, 13%; Hymenolepis nana, 6.7%; hookworms, 6%; Enterobius vermicularis, 4%; Hymenolepis diminuta, 4% and Trichuris trichiura, 0.7%. From 265 infected children 64.5% were mono-infected, 27.2% were infected by two parasites and 8.3% had a poly-specific parasite burden. It was concluded that strongyloidiasis is hyperendemic in this area.

Article: SHORT COMMUNICATION - Strongyloides venezuelensis Alkaline Extract for the Diagnosis of Human Strongyloidiasis by Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The present study was conducted to detected IgG antibodies using Strongyloides venezuelensis alkaline extract for the diagnosis of human strongyloidiasis by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Sera from 90 subjects were analyzed (30 with strongyloidiasis, 30 with other parasites and 30 healthy individuals). Results were expressed in antibody titers, which were considered as positive when titer was ≥ 80. Sensibility and specificity of the assay were 100% and 96.7%, respectively. It can be concluded that the heterologous alkaline extract could be employed in ELISA as a diagnostic aid in human strongyloidiasis, due to its advantages as easiness of obtaining, practicability in preparing, and high indexes of sensitivity and specificity.Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz (ISSN: 1678-8060) Vol 98 Num 6.

ABSTRACT: To determine the frequency of Strongyloides stercoralis antibodies by means of the enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in Chile, in 2001-2003, 675 blood samples of patients of two psychiatric hospitals and 172 of healthy individuals (doctors, nurses and paramedicals) of these institutions, and 1,200 serum samples of blood donors of Northern region (Arica and Antofagasta), Central region (Valparaiso and Santiago) and Southern region (La Union) were collected. ELISA showed positivity of 12.1% in psychiatric hospitalized patients, none (0%) in the health personnel and 0.25% in blood donors (p < 0.05). Only in blood donors of Arica (1%) and La Union (0.5%) the ELISA test was positive suggesting that strongyloidiasis is focalized in determinate zones of the country. In Chile, human infections by S. stercoralis are endemic with very low frequency in apparently healthy individuals and high prevalence in risk groups such as the mentally ill hospitalized patients.Revista do Instituto de Medicina Tropical de São Paulo 01/2007; 49(4):247-9. · 0.96 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Strongyloides stercoralis, an intestinal parasitic nematode, infects more than 100 million people worldwide. Strongyloides are unique in their ability to exist as a free-living and autoinfective cycle. Strongyloidiasis can occur without any symptoms or as a potentially fatal hyperinfection or disseminated infection. The most common risk factors for these complications are immunosuppression caused by corticosteroids and infection with human T-lymphotropic virus or human immunodeficiency virus. Even though the diagnosis of strongyloidiasis is improved by advanced instrumentation techniques in isolated and complicated cases of hyperinfection or dissemination, efficient guidelines for screening the population in epidemiological surveys are lacking.PLoS neglected tropical diseases. 08/2014; 8(8):e3018.

To evaluate the rate of infection by Strongyloides stercoralis and other enteroparasites a survey was
conducted in the city of Uberlândia, State of Minas Gerais, Brazil. A total of 900 stool samples from 300
children aging from four months to seven years, randomly selected in ten nursery schools from Septem-
ber 1994 to December 1995, were examined, both by the Baermann-Moraes and Lutz methods. Thirty
nine children (13%) were found to be infected by S. stercoralis, 64.1% were boys and 35.9% were girls.
Taking all the enteroparasites as a whole the results of the survey pointed out that 265 (88.4%) of the
300 children were infected by the following: Giardia lamblia, 78.3%; Ascaris lumbricoides, 15.3%; S.
stercoralis, 13%; Hymenolepis nana, 6.7%; hookworms, 6%; Enterobius vermicularis, 4%; Hymenole-
pis diminuta, 4% and Trichuris trichiura, 0.7%. From 265 infected children 64.5% were mono-infected,
27.2% were infected by two parasites and 8.3% had a poly-specific parasite burden. It was concluded
that strongyloidiasis is hyperendemic in this area.
Key words: Strongyloides stercoralis - intestinal parasites - children - Brazil
Strongyloidiasis has heterogenic worldwide
distribution, with three world regions, according
to the predominance of the infection by Strongy-
loides stercoralis (Bavay, 1876): sporadic (<1%),
endemic (1-5%) and hyperendemic (>5%)
(Stuerchler 1981 apud Pires & Dreyer 1993).
The occurrence of S. stercoralis in children
aged from 0-14 years in some Brazilian states is
summarized in Table I.
This study aimed at surveying the prevalence
of S. stercoralis and other enteroparasites in nurs-
ing school children aging from four months to
seven years, in Uberlândia, State of Minas Gerais,
Brazil, from September 1994 to December 1995.
In 1994 Uberlândia had 49 nursery schools,
from these ten were taken at random. The size of
the sample was calculated according to the formula:
n = Z2 x P x Q/d² (Rodrigues 1986) considering
(Z) of 95%; (d) of 5%; (P) of 10%, obtained in a
pilot study in three nursery schools, and a non-ob-
served value (Q) of 90%; with the size of the sample
(n) evaluated at 138 persons. This sample was
amplified and 300 children were selected at ran-
dom, 30 at each of the pre-determined school; these
children were later identified according to sex and

age following the agreement of their parents or
tutors for their participation.
Three fecal samples from each child were col-
lected in plastic vials without preservatives with
intervals of four to six days. The samples were
stored in boxes with ice and analyzed at the Labo-
ratory of Parasitology of the Universidade Federal
de Uberlândia by the methods of Baermann and
Moraes (BM) (Baermann 1917, Moraes 1948) and
Lutz (Lutz 1919). For more adequate reading of
the slides the larvae were fixed using 0.2 ml of a
10% solution of formalin applied to the residue of
the first method. Five slides were prepared for the
BM analysis and six for the Lutz analysis for each
of the 900 samples. The total number of slides ex-
amination was thus 9900.
All the families of the children received the
results of the laboratory diagnosis. The positive
cases were referred to the Pediatric Polyclinic,
where they received specific treatment.
The data were processed using the analysis of
variance (Anova) and the Students' t according to
Malleta (1992).
S. stercoralis infection - From the 300 children
studied 39 (13%) were infected with larvae of S.
stercoralis in one of the three periods sampled. Of
these cases, 28 cases were detected only by BM
method (71.8%), nine of them only by the Lutz'
method (23.1%) and two by both methods (5.1%).
These differences were statistically significant by
Anova, GL 2 and 6. Of these 39 cases nine (23%)

were diagnosed only in the first sample; one (2.6%)
in the first and third; one (2.6%) in all three
samples; 14 cases (35.9%) in the second sample
and 14 (35.9%) only in the third sample. These
variations were not statistically significant by
Anova GL 2 and 6. Regarding sex 25 (64.1%) cases
of S. stercoralis were detected in boys and 14
(35.9%) in girls. Children in all ages were infected,
except in those from zero up to one year. Table II
has the number of children studied and test results
by age category. There was no statistically signifi-
cant difference in rates of infection by sex or age.
Positive cases of S. stercoralis varied from 3.3%
to 23.3% in the ten nursery schools.
Other enteroparasites - Of the 300 children
studied 149 (49.7%) were boys and 151, girls
(50.3%). Of these 265 (88.4%) were infected: 132
(49.8%) were boys and 133 (50.2%) were girls.
The distribution of parasites, (excluding the posi-
tive children from the other sample) is represented
in Table III. There were 171 (64.5%) children
mono-infected; 72 (27.2%) bi-infected and 22
(8.3%) poly-infected. From the bi and poly-infected
children there were 32 associated infections of S.
stercoralis: Giardia lamblia, Stiles, 1915, in 17
cases (53.1%); Ascaris lumbricoides, Linnaeus,
1758, in four (12.5%); hookworms either Ancy-
lostoma duodenale (Dubini, 1843) or Necator
americanus, Stiles, 1903, in one (3.1%); Hyme-
nolepis nana (Siebold, 1852) in one (3.1%); to-
gether with G. lamblia and A. lumbricoides in five
(15.6%); G. lamblia and hookworms in two (6.2%);
G. lamblia and H. nana in one (3.1%) and G.
lamblia and Enterobius vermicularis (Linnaeus,
1771) in one (3.1%).

To the present time the records of children in-
fected with S. stercoralis in the city of Uberlândia
varied from zero (Berbert-Ferreira & Costa-Cruz
1995) and 2.1% (Gennari-Cardoso et al. 1996).
Both of these studies were conducted using only
one sample per case and using only the Lutz'
Using the procedure of three samples per child
and two methods for diagnosis the rate of infec-
tion was found to be considerably increased, 13%.
It is recommend that for effective diagnosis three
samples are necessary: 71.8% of the cases in the
present research were identified only in second and
third samples. Additionally, the BM method was
able to identify the infection in 30 (76.9%) of chil-
dren studied.
No children of the 0-1 age category were found
to be infected with S. stercoralis compatible with
other research previously published: Marzochi and
Carvalheiro (1978), Almeida and Costa-Cruz
(1988), Berbert-Ferreira and Costa-Cruz (1995),
Guimarães and Sogayar (1995). In the other age
categories the rate of positive cases varied from
10.3% to 20.5% for S. stercoralis involving, 10.9%
to 19% of children, indicating that this parasite is
hyperendemic in the city.
In terms of other detected enteroparasites the
rate of infection (88.4%) was classified as severe
considering the damage that these etiologic enti-
ties may inflict on their hosts. This rate of infec-
tion is the highest found so far in this city, even
when other age categories have been included
(Costa-Cruz et al. 1991, Sá & Costa-Cruz 1991,
Berbert-Ferreira & Costa-Cruz 1995, Costa-Cruz
et al. 1996, Gennari-Cardoso et al. 1996). G.
lamblia was the only pathogenic protozoon de-
tected (235 cases). Seven species of helminthes
were identified, of which A. lumbricoides presented
the highest rate: 15.3%. The occurrence of 35.5%
of children infected by more than one parasite dem-
onstrated that enteroparasites represent a serious
problem to the public health of Uberlândia.

Danville chief facing charge in shooting
Parsons will face one count of negligent storage of a firearm - a violation that carries up to a $1,000 fine.
The charge follows a State Police probe into the March 11 shooting death of Jacob Carver.
Through the investigation, Reams said it was determined that Parsons set the gun down on a safe in a closet.
"The chief left to go run errands and didn't secure his weapon," said Reams, whose office will prosecute the case.
While Parsons was away, his girlfriend's 15-year-old son, who was living at the home, went into the closet and grabbed the gun, according to Reams.
Reams said the boy died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound while he was alone. Authorities responded to the home at 53 Caramel Drive around 7:15 that night after receiving a 911 call.
"The statute holds you responsible for how you store weapons. It should have gone in a gun safe," Reams said. "We just looked at the statute and the conduct. There's no other option but to charge him. The statute reflects society's concern that if you have a weapon and children, you have to take steps to make sure they don't have access."
The statute states: "Any person who stores or leaves on premises under that person's control a loaded firearm, and who knows or reasonably should know that a child (under the age of 16) is likely to gain access to the firearm without the permission of the child's parent or guardian, is guilty of a violation if a child gains access to a firearm and the firearm is used in a reckless or threatening manner; the firearm is used during the commission of any misdemeanor or felony; or the firearm is negligently or recklessly discharged."
Reams said he wasn't sure if the gun is owned by Parsons or the town.
Reams said he hopes the case serves as a reminder to other gun owners about the importance of being careful when it comes to storing firearms when children are around.
"Nobody is probably more highly trained than a police officer," Reams said.
Parsons, the town's chief since 1995, has remained on the job through the State Police investigation.

The first partnership of its kind for the network, Gold will be supporting the Charity through a number of fundraising initiatives, starting with Movember - when men across the UK grow moustaches to change the face of men's health. All the Gold presenters will be taking part in Movember and listeners will be able to support them by visiting www.mygoldmusic.co.uk The Prostate Cancer Charity is the UK's leading charity working with people affected by prostate cancer. It funds research, provides support and information, plus campaigns to improve the lives of men and their families living with the disease. Since its inception in 1996, the Charity has invested over £9.5 million into research to help fight the disease. This year, it is investing over £1.7 million - its biggest investment into research to date. It provides the most comprehensive range of services dedicated to prostate cancer and ensures that everyone affected has access to vital support whether through its confidential Helpline or information services. In the latest radio industry figures released by RAJAR, over 1.5 million people are tuning into Gold across the UK each week and the network hopes as many listeners as possible get involved in fundraising activities. Dalton Leong, Managing Director of Global Radio Charities & Communities said: "We are thrilled to be establishing our first ever charity partnership on Gold with such a worthy cause as The Prostate Cancer Charity. I sincerely hope our listeners will be inspired to join our brilliant presenters in growing their moustaches during Movember. We'll also look at other opportunities for ladies to get involved too!" Owen Sharp, Chief Executive of The Prostate Cancer Charity, said: "We are delighted to have a new Charity partnership with Gold. It is critical that we get the message about prostate cancer, a disease which kills one man every hour, out there to men. This partnership is so important as it will help us to reach the right kind of people, especially those men who are reaching an age not only where they appreciate good music, but where prostate cancer is becoming more relevant to them. As we all know, risk increases over 50 and we are simply trying to get this disease on men's radars. Working with Gold we will be able to do this in an interesting, accessible and thought-provoking way.

You enter it and you are there, but you have to keep moving right into the portals. :D

Description (OCR text may contain errors)
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 483,565, dated October 4, 1892. Application filed September 24, 1890. Serial No. 366,006. (No specimens.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, J ORGEN GEORG MAARDT, a subject of the King of Denmark, residing at Copenhagen, in the Kingdom of Denmark, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Artificial Marble; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
The subject of the present invention consists in a kind of cement which I term artificial marble, and ,which is prepared in the form of a pulverized mass mixed with water and designed for application to the surface of masonry. The dressing thus formed is smoothened with a glass or steel smoother, whereupon a marble-like surface is produced which is insoluble in water and is inattacked by frost and capable of resisting the action of acids. The surface thus formed may be ornamented or colored by any mineral pigment, the color being applied while the surface is wet, by which means a more durable result is obtained.
The artificial marble, in addition to its use as a dressing for masonry, may also be employed for manufacturing rods, blocks, flags, or figures.
The preparation is made as follows: Ten parts of burnt gypsum (S OaH) or (S CaHSi Al Fe and one part of potash alum are mixed with water, formed into stones, and burned, after which it is broken up and powdered.
This pulverized mass is then mixed with the following substances in the proportions given: twenty-two per cent. of the above-mentioned pulverized mass, twenty-two per cent. magnesite, (MgCO eleven per cent. magnesium chloride, (MgOl forty-four per cent. burnt and powdered silica, (flint,) (SiO one per cent. potash alum, (KA12 (SO )+12H O.) This mixture when stirred up with water produces the improved artificial marble. The product of plaster-of-paris, potash alum, and water must be burned and pulverized before adding the magnesite, magnesium chloride, magnesium silicate, and potash alum, because the magnesite, magnesium chloride, magnesium silicate, &c.,if it were burned together with the plaster-of-paris, would not harden sufficiently rapid afterward.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is- The herein-described composition of matter, which forms the artificial marble, consisting of burnt gypsum, potash alum, (KAl2(SO +12H,O,) magnesite, (MgCO,,,) magnesium chloride, (MgOl,,) burnt flint, (SiO and water, in the proportions specified.
In testimony whereof I affix my signaturein presence of two witnesses.

So any of the old-timers from Kay who were in Schizm still playing?
Holy crap Halfneck!! You might remember me as Bardog :) Yes, lots of old-timers from Schizm still play, and are all in the guild Overraided.
Hop on sometime and do a /who verraid :) Or look for Kaeps in game.
Hey Bardog!
Quit playing till my little brother convinced me to come back right before WotLK. Transferred to Steamwheedle Cartel server & a few months later he quits. Then transferred to Tanaris to play with a good friend & his family an a few months later most quit to play Rift.
Still PuGging it up in bgs & heroics. Hell I've not done a Raid since WotLK. Quit playing the Druid out of boredom & started playing my Hunter for a change. Been away from a PvP server so long I'd be Dwarf bait.
90 Human Warlock
Hey Halfneck!
If you ever do decide to make the journey back to PVP Thunderlord you'll have a place to stay. We welcome all former Schizm members (we have about about 30 now). And don't worry about the Hordlings, they're not so bad!
Edited by Runevara on 7/22/2011 9:54 AM PDT
Schizm was made up of about 400? players from the Kay server of Dark Age of Camelot. We started out on Stormreaver, but due to the server being full a lot, we moved to Thunderlord a few weeks after release of Vanilla WoW.
Yep a week or two after launch we were on TL (guild created 11-24-2004 I think it was). And I'm not sure it was 400 :) That's a bit exaggerated :p
Yea I think 400 was after the million & 1 alts.
Hello my brothers from other mothers.
Haven't seen most of you in like 5-6 years.
(This is Rumbler if you guys didn't figure it out)
Rumbler. Why arent you on thunderlord fool! /fist
I didn't even think of it. I was playing Rift with KoS and they have a big guild over on Arthas in WoW so I just hooked up with them there since that's the guild I'm currently in.
You guys do a lot of PvP over there these days? :D
You know that's my flavor. =p
Aah. Nah, no pvp here unfortunately.
90 Orc Shaman
Thunderlord was good to me.
-Thechosenone lvl 60 human mage
100 Dwarf Paladin
It wasn't even a full two weeks when we moved from Stormreaver. But yes, those numbers of almost 400 are accurate. I remember our very long run from Stormwind down to Booty Bay and taking the boat over to Barrens. We then raided Crossroads and went south from there to Tanaris. I wanna say there was about 50-100 of us that night. Oh, the good old days.
Adarious (Inconnu Sorcerer)
90 Draenei Mage
I had old SS's of that train of us, it went on out of viewing distance, reminded me of a clown car... people just kept coming. :) Ada is correct, at the very beginning there were about 250 unique members with the other 150 being alt toons. Definitely fun times.
Hey Rumb, and TCO, and Half!! Whats up peeps!!!

A new "remastered" image of Jupiter's moon Europa has made it look like the beginning of life itself - an embryo.
Mangalyaan has been named among the best inventions of 2014 by Time magazine which described it as a technological feat that will allow India to flex its "interplanetary muscles."
NASA's Pluto-bound probe New Horizons spacecraft comes out of hibernation for the last time next month in preparation for a six-month encounter, including a first-ever close flyby of the mysterious dwarf planet on July 14, 2015.
A new study has revealed that NASA's New Horizons spacecraft will come out of hibernation for the last time on Dec. 6 for a six-month encounter with Pluto that begins in January.
For the first time in history, a spacecraft has landed on a comet. According to scientists, the momentous event represents the culmination of over 28 years of research on comets.
Last month, an exotic deep space comet flew by Mars and unleashed an unexpectedly strong meteor shower that briefly changed the chemistry of the Red Planet`s upper atmosphere, NASA said Friday.
A human-factors expert will join the investigation of the fatal crash of Virgin Galactic`s passenger spacecraft to study why the co-pilot prematurely unlocked a pivoting tail section of the ship during a test flight, the National Transportation Safety Board chairman said on Monday.
Aircrafts that are propelled by beams of light rather than conventional fuels is what the scientist and science fiction writers have always dreamt of.
India's Mars Orbiter is expected to send clearer pictures in two months' time, said a senior official of the Indian space agency Friday.
China launched an unmanned spacecraft early Friday to test technologies to be used in the Chang'e-5, a future probe that will conduct the country's first moon mission and return to the Earth.
A Russian Soyuz rocket safely delivered a US-Russian trio to the International Space Station (ISS) on Friday, despite a technical glitch which briefly threatened to lengthen their journey to the $100 billion complex.
India and the world got to know about the 'Mangalyaan' entering the orbit of Mars from the Canberra Deep Space Communication Complex (CDSCC) which was capturing signals from the unmanned spacecraft, Australia said today.
A day after successfully test-firing its dormant main engine, scientists of the Indian Space and Research Organisation (ISRO) are all set to ensure India's ambitious Mars Orbiter Mission, which has already traversed 662 million km, enters the orbit of the red planet on Wednesday morning as planned.
NASA's MAVEN spacecraft is set to enter the Mars orbit on Sunday evening to study the upper atmosphere of the Red Planet and reveal how its climate changed over time.
NASA has invited the public to submit short messages and images on social media that could be placed in a time capsule aboard a spacecraft to be launched in 2016 for an asteroid study.
India`s ambitious Mars Orbiter Mission was just nine million kilometres away from the red planet, Indian Space Research Organisation said today.
A SpaceX rocket exploded in midair during a test flight, though no one was injured, as the company seeks to develop a spacecraft that can return to Earth and be used again.
SpaceX is set to build the world`s first private commercial rocket launch facility in the US state of Texas, with launches expected as early as 2015.
ESA`s Rosetta spacecraft has recently measured the temperature of its target comet for the first time.
According to the new observations from NASA`s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) spacecraft, there are over 200 lunar pits that could provide shelter to the future astronauts.

It's one of the worst flu seasons in years, but trying to figure out a good over-the-counter medicine to take can make your head spin. Consumer Reports helps you decode treatments for the flu and other ailments.
Choosing medicine for a cold, flu, and other aches and pains can be overwhelming!
Why is the drug aisle so confusing?
Dr. Marvin Lipman of Consumer Reports says, "The problem is labels like extra strength, maximum strength, or ultra strength really have no standard definition."
Take ultra-strength Tums. It has 100 percent more of its active ingredient than the regular version.
But Gas-X Ultra-strength has 125 percent more of its active ingredient.
Dr. Lipman says, "The point is you really have to read the label in order to know how much you're taking."
Claims like "all day" and "long acting" are tricky, too.
All-Day Aleve lasts up to 12 hours. But another all day-medicine lasts 24 hours.
And with drugs that promise to relieve multiple symptoms, like a cold, flu, and sort throat, you could end up taking something you don't need.
Dr. Lipman says, "Drugs that treat multiple symptoms often have more than one ingredient, sometimes as many as four."
So if you take another medicine that contains one of those ingredients, you might wind up taking too much.
Consumer Reports says best is choosing a single ingredient drug whenever you can, like ibuprofen for aches and pains...or acetaminophen for a fever or headache.
And when in doubt, check with a pharmacist for help understanding over-the-counter drug labels
Consumer Reports says drugs that say "PM" or "non-drowsy" can be confusing also. If the label says PM, it probably contains an antihistamine that'll help you fall asleep.
But if the label says 'non-drowsy," don't assume the drug will help you stay alert.
Only some have caffeine or another stimulant that'll keep you awake.

Middle East Patriarchs Meet Diplomats : Call for Wiping Out Terrorists
Via OCP News:
BEIRUT (CNS) — Catholic and Orthodox patriarchs of the Middle East denounced attacks on Christians and called upon the international community to work toward eradicating terrorist groups.
The patriarchs met Aug. 27 at the Maronite Catholic patriarchate at Bkerke, north of Beirut, for a special summit to address the crisis in the region. They were later joined by the United Nations' special coordinator in Lebanon and the ambassadors of the five permanent member-countries of the U.N. Security Council.
"The very existence of Christians is at stake in several Arab countries — notably in Iraq, Syria and Egypt — where they have been exposed to heinous crimes, forcing them to flee," the patriarchs said in a statement after the summit and meeting with diplomats.
They lamented the indifference of both Islamic authorities and the international community over attacks against Christians, who have been in the region for 2,000 years.
"What is painful is the absence of a stance by Islamic authorities, and the international community has not adopted a strict stance either," the patriarchs said.
"We call for issuing a fatwa (Islamic religious ruling) that forbids attacks against others," they said.
"The international community cannot keep silent about the existence of the so-called ISIS," the patriarchs said, referring to the Islamic State. "They should put an end to all extremist terrorist groups and criminalize aggression against Christians and their properties."
The prelates' meeting was a follow-up to their first summit Aug. 7. It also follows a trip by several of them to Irbil, the capital of Iraq's Kurdish region, to give moral and spiritual support to the flood of Iraqi minorities driven from the Ninevah Plain by the Islamic State militants.
The prelates stressed the need for cutting off the sources of terrorism and called on the world's major powers to deprive extremist groups of resources by compelling countries financing them to stop their support.
Solutions to the Islamic State crisis must involve "dealing with the reasons that produced the miseries in the Middle East," and harmony must be restored between the components of these countries, they said.
"The international community must act and eradicate" the Islamic State, the patriarchs said. "This is required from the United Nations and the U.N. Security Council."
"We must stop using extremists, terrorists and mercenaries and (stop) supporting, financing and arming them," they said.
They also stressed "the necessity of working to liberate the towns of Ninevah and facilitate the return of the displaced to their homes, in addition to ensuring the security of these towns with local and international guarantees to prevent displacement."
The patriarchs denounced the "bleeding" that continues in Syria and said the conflict there must be solved by "dialogue and through a political solution." They criticized the international community for not resolving the April 2013 kidnapping of two Orthodox bishops in Syria.
The prelates applauded the region's Christians, who "are committed to the values of the Gospel and the teachings of Christ" exemplified in their relationships with others, "including their Muslim brothers, who live with them in the same nations."

Vladimir Putin: Don't Mess With Nuclear-Armed Russia
Russia's president, speaking at a pro-Kremlin youth camp at a lake near Moscow, said "it's best not to mess with us," adding "I want to remind you that Russia is one of the leading nuclear powers"
Well, there you have it. You are reminded.
IDF on High Alert in Golan Heights
Stand for Israel has been reporting on the developments across Israel's border with Syria – of the Islamic State and al-Qaeda-linked Islamist fighters doing battle with Syrian forces. Israel is well aware of what is going on, and the IDF is on alert in the Golan Heights:
As a result of the fighting on the Syrian side of the Golan Heights, the level of alert was raised on the Israeli side, an army spokesperson said Thursday, without confirming that it had been increased to the highest level.
The announcement followed several incidents in the area, including the capture and execution of 160 Syrian soldiers by the Islamic State, gruesome pictures of which appeared online Thursday, and the abduction, also Thursday, of 43 Fijian U.N. peacekeepers by al-Qaeda-affiliate al-Nusra Front at the Quneitra crossing with Israel, where fighting has raged this week between Syrian rebels and government forces.
Please pray for the return of the captured U.N. peacekeepers, for God's protection over the brave men and women defending Israel in this dangerous situation, and for God's peace over all of His people.
Boko Haram Says Part of Nigeria an Islamic State
Boko Haram militants claim that they are turning Nigeria into an Islamic caliphate. The Muslim extremist organization is in control of three Nigerian towns, and continues to gain power and influence in the region, the Christian Headlines website reports today (August 29, 2014).
In video, Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau is seen announcing, "Thanks be to Allah who gave victory to our brethren in Gwoza and made it part of the Islamic caliphate… By the grace of Allah we will not leave the town. We have come to stay."
The militants conquered Gwoza on August 6, destroying homes and killing many residents. Some survivors fled to surrounding mountains, as well as bordering nation Cameroon.
Officials fear that Boko Haram is working with Islamic State terrorists, who have taken control of large regions of Syria and Iraq, and have given Christians in their seized land one of three choices: Convert to Islam, pay a non-Islam tax, or be killed.

Ebola Outbreak Accelerates
CNN: Death toll passes 1,550 as Ebola outbreak accelerates, officials say
The Ebola outbreak "continues to accelerate" in West Africa and has killed 1,552 people so far, the World Health Organization said Thursday. The total number of cases stands at 3,069, with 40% occurring in the past three weeks. "However, most cases are concentrated in only a few localities," the WHO said. The outbreak, the deadliest ever, has been centered in Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia, with a handful of cases in Nigeria. The overall fatality rate is 52%, the WHO said, ranging from 42% in Sierra Leone to 66% in Guinea….
Vatican Rejects Reports About Papal Assassination Plans
Italian press report has claimed that Islamist terrorists were preparing to assassinate Pope Francis – Vatican spokesman Lombardi: "The Vatican does not harbor special concerns in this direction"
Vatican City (kath.net/KNA/red) The Vatican has denied a report according to which Islamist terrorists were preparing an assassination attempt on Pope Francis. This lacks foundation, in the words of Vatican spokesman Federico Lombardi. "There is nothing to be taken seriously. The Vatican does not harbor special concerns in this direction," as the media quoted him on Tuesday.
On Monday, the Italian daily newspaper "Il Tempo" spread rumors, that fighters of the terrorist militia "Islamic State" were planning an attack on the Pope. Referring to Israeli sources, it was said that their leader, the self-styled "Caliph" Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, had ordered attacks in Europe and in particular against Francis as "the greatest representative of the Christian Religion" and "support of false truth".
Currently, the jihadists fighting in Syria and Iraq, are coming to Italy, militia mingled with the numerous refugees coming across the Mediterranean. Last week the Italian media reported that Italy is reinforcing its security measures. But a concrete suspicion of terrorism did not exist.
During the general audience on 13 May 1981 in St. Peter's Square Ali Agca, surrounded by about 15,000 people, made an attempt on John Paul II. The Pope barely survived. There is still nothing certain known about the actual motivations and instigators of the Turkish-Muslim assassin. This assassination-Shirt by Pope John Paul II. (Rome Reports, Eng.)

Originally written on Hoop Fantasies Fantasy Basketball Blog | Last updated 11/18/14
The third best player of week two ... Markieff Morris? Yep. Top 10 for the last seven days (nine category), according to Yahoo: 1. Anthony Davis -- Bow down to the Brow. He's the best player with averages of 20.3 points, 11 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 2 steals and 3.8 blocks last week. And he made 81.8 percent of his free throws. All day, every day you'll take that. 2. Kevin Love -- Lots to love here: 24.8 points, 14.3 rebounds, 2 3-pointers, 5.5 assists, .8 steals and .8 blocks. 3. Markieff Morris -- The surprise of the week. Morris is busting out: 22.8 points, 8 rebounds, .8 3-pointers, 2.3 assists, 2 steals and .3 blocks. Morris also converted on 69.8 percent of his field goals. 4. Kevin Martin -- K-Mart is on a heater with the Wolves: 26.3 points, 3.3 3-pointers, 4.3 rebounds, 2 assists and 1.5 steals. He's also sinking 91.7 percent of his free throws. 5. Paul Millsap -- Millsap hasn't been quiet in the ATL: 24 points, 10.7 rebounds, 1.3 3-pointers, 4.3 assists, 3.3 steals and 1.3 blocks. 6. Paul George -- The Pacers are undefeated, largely thanks to George: 24.8 points, 7.5 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 2.8 3-pointers, and 1.8 steals. 7. Kevin Durant -- The likely No. 1 pick in your league is dominating: 31 points, 8 rebounds, 7.7 assists, 1.7 steals, 1.3 3-pointers, .7 blocks. The increase in assists is a nice bonus this season. He also connected on 51.9 percent of his field goals and 89.2 percent of his free throws. 8. Chris Paul -- CP3 may have slowed down a bit this week, but he still was top 10 with 16.5 points, 13 assists, 4.5 rebounds, 2 steals and .5 3-pointers. 9. J.J. Redick -- Redick is available in 21 percent of leagues. He shouldn't be. Last week, the ex-Dukie averaged 20 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 2.3 3-pointers, 1.5 steals and .5 blocks. 10. Eric Bledsoe -- Bledsoe is igniting a franchise that was supposed to be tanking: 20 points, 3 rebounds, 6.3 assists, 1.8 steals, 1.3 3-pointers and .3 blocks. After the jump, the top 10 players for the whole season. 1. Anthony Davis 2. Chris Paul 3. Kevin Love 4. Paul George 5. Kevin Durant 6. Kevin Martin 7. Klay Thompson -- Thompson cooled off last week. 8. James Harden -- The Beard is hurting but was the 16th best player last week. 9. Spencer Hawes -- Hawes' poor free-throw shooting sent him plummeting. 10. LeBron James -- King James' back is hurting not just him but fantasy owners. His numbers are still fantastic (26 points, 7 rebounds, 8 assists, .7 3-pointers, .3 steals and .3 blocks last week).

Chalfont cop accused of making up shooting story heads to trial

A Bucks County cop who allegedly made up a story about getting shot is heading to trial.
Chalfont Police Officer Jon Cousin Thursday waived his right to a preliminary hearing.
In August Cousin said he had been shot in the chest while he was checking out a suspicious vehicle at the Lenape Swimming Club.
But investigators say they found that Cousin had shot his bulletproof vest.
Prosecutors have dropped a charge of reckless endangerment but they added a charge of official oppression because of the number of car checks performed due to Cousin's story.

I'm replacing a front porch platform, 26 feet 5 inches wide and extends 71 inches out from the wall of the house. I want to replace with a concrete platform 8 inches thick ( 4 1/4 yards total concrete ), but I'm not sure how to brace the form underneath to do that. The foundation around the three outer edges of the current platform is cinder block, with a wall of cinder block through the center, approx. 5 feet high. Since the current platform is wood, there is no foundation for the inner edge against the wall of the house. The support along the inner edge underneath is simply nailed to the wood base of the house sitting directly on top of the foundation. Instead of building a foundation wall for the inner edge of the platform against the house, would using 4x4 lumber as bracing material for the form underneath that inner edge and everywhere else provide enough support for an 8 inch pour?
- Forum >
- Miscellaneous >
- Build an elevated concrete porch
Don't do it with concrete that way. I'm in the middle of tearing out a concrete porch that rebar into the foundation didn't hold up. It sagged next to the house and rocked the entire block foundation back. 8" is way too thick anyway, 4" is enough if you have to do it. But, without a solid foundation around all 4 sides(including along the house wall) it will sag and crack. After getting this porch out, which replaced a wood porch, I am going back in with a wood deck/porch with concrete piers for the roof supports.
Also leaving any wood under the concrete is good eating and an invitation for termites.

Friday morning: the perfect time to enjoy a tall glass of Whiskey... if you happen to be a raging alcoholic. Bridge's latest mixtape single is far too dope to put off till 5:00 PM, though, so I won't tell if you don't. Appropriately enough, the record sees the unsigned singer/songwriter also indulging in some premature celebration. Over Rooster Cogburn's slow-burning, sample-laced boardwork, he insists that, while the success he craves is still a ways away, his overtime hours on the hustle have earned him the right to a little recreation. Nik Delikat directs the record's stylized official visuals. Still thirsty? You can find Whiskey, last week's My Decision and many more quality jams on Bridge's Creature of Habit Pt. 1 street album, available now for free digital download.

This book provides a journey through the argentine comic from its origins in 1912 with Las Aventuras de Viruta y Chicharrón up to the year 2000. It analyzes more than 300 comic strips by its contents, its aesthetics and its socio-political context.
It goes through the magazines and newspapers of all the 20th century, from Caras y Caretas to Fierro and from Crítica to Perfil, passing through the publications of Columba, Record, La Urraca and the mythical of Editorial Frontera.
Among the analyzed works they can be seen from the classical works of Oesterheld, Pratt, Salinas and Breccia, to true unknown pearls.
They appear, among many, Los ojos del Mirón, the first century surrealist work of Raúl Roux; the personages of Lino Palacio, Adolfo Mazzone and Guillermo Divito; the absurd fantasies of García Ferré and Héctor Torino, the popular sagas of Robin Hood and of Trillo and Altuna in El Loco Chávez.
Among numerous curiosities we can find Don Salamito and Doña Tortuga, a marriage murdered by the readers suggestion; Sharon, the only cowgirl woman in Argentina and an antecedent of the Clemente of Caloi drawn by the commentator Julio Lagos for Tía Vicenta.
The book is comprised in two parts: a chronologic development of the genre evolution in the country and the thematic analysis of the comic strips. This trip shows the changes produced in the country and the society.
After reading the pages of this book -wrote Pablo De Santis in the prologue-, hundreds and hundreds of personages remain floating in our memory; the large inhabitants of the myth but also the other; the silent majority, hidden in lost magazines.
Arise in the margins of the culture; the comic strip became a symbolic product of the 20th century culture. It evolved in forms and contents, from the pages of newspapers that were of concern for attracting readers to the specialized publications, without losing their initial spirit: to relate and to entertain.
In Argentina, this history begins in 1912, with Viruta and Chicharrón, the first beings of an extensive ink lineage whose path was reconstructed by Judith Gociol and Diego Rosemberg from the testimonies of screenwriters and sketchers, as well as from the fragments lost in libraries and old collections.
The authors lively and seductive prose devises a captivating narration by itself, to which they add the graphic documentation, the chronologic code, the evolution of determined archetypes along the decades, and the reflection: a wise combination that does of this book, as maintains Pablo De Santis, a fundamental work of our comic strip bibliography .
The journalist Diego Rosemberg was born in Buenos Aires in 1969. He collaborated in diverse publications, like the Todo es Historia magazine and the Página 12 newspaper. Was the writer of the weekly cultural La Maga, of the Viva magazine, the Clarín newspaper and the 3 Puntos magazine. He integrated the team of investigators of the Survivors of the Shoah Visual History Foundation, entity presided by Steven Spielberg.
Judith Gociol was born in Buenos Aires in 1971. Specialized journalist in cultural themes works in the Clarín newspaper. She integrated the staff of La Maga magazine and of other media; was also interviewer of the Foundation directed by Spielberg. She carried out investigations for journalistic books, as well as the chronology of Toda Mafalda and the trials included in 20 años con Inodoro Pereyra and Todo Boogie el Aceitoso, of Ediciones of La Flor. In 1998 her first work published by the National Library, Alfonsina Storni. Con-textos appeared.

Hey, it's Steve from Nerd Fitness!
I want to tell you about Camp Nerd Fitness, one of the best adventures I have ever had. In September 2014, close to 200 men and women descended upon the mountains of Georgia for a long weekend of adventure, inspiration, education, support, and fun.
I'm not gonna lie: putting on this event was a lot of work for the team and I, and it was the first time we've ever done ANYTHING like this. I hoped that things would go well, that people would have fun, and they'd leave inspired and wired to change their lives.
It was better than anything I could have ever expected. Within 10 minutes of Campers showing up I knew we had something special, and by the end of our three days together I truly felt like I was part of one big family. A nerdy, fit, hilarious family
During our time together, we learned Kung Fu, Parkour, Tricking, Yoga, Meditation, how to squat and deadlift properly, bodyweight exercises, how to cook easy meals, how to deal with depression, how to have a healthy relationship with food, how to bend nails, and do things like handstands and cartwheels.
When we weren't learning new skills, we ate healthy meals, played video games, board games, went on hikes to waterfalls, sang karaoke, tossed around a frisbee, and more. At night, we dressed up in costumes and danced until our legs ached and smiled til our faces hurt.
Oh, and our Rubiks Cube theme night was honestly one of the best parties I have ever attended, and judging by the stories and photos, I know the other campers feel the same way.
After the event, we asked campers on a anonymous survey to "Describe their Camp experience in one sentence…" Here are some of the responses we got:
- Sweat, fun, and new friends.
- Level one of Camp Nerd Fitness set the bar high for level two!
- One of the best weekends of my life.
- It was like coming home.
- Life changing.
- More please.
- The camp helped me make subtle but effective changes in my workout routines and encouraged me to make my fitness development a priority again.

If your dog uses his time alone in the house to bark endlessly, pee on the carpet, or tear up the sofa—and those behaviors are accompanied by depression or stress—your pooch may be suffering from separation anxiety, a very common doggy behavior problem.
Overcoming disorders like separation anxiety takes time, patience and consistency, but it can be done! Just take the following steps, and you're already on your way.
Make sure the problem is separation anxiety. The first step in tackling behavior issues is to rule out any underlying medical problems that might be causing your pet's misbehavior. Next, rule out other behavior problems. For example, consider whether your dog's inappropriate elimination is due to incomplete housetraining.
Take action. So you're sure the problem is separation anxiety? Try these strategies to address the issue:
- Keep all greetings relaxed. When leaving, give your dog a pat on the head, say goodbye and leave. Similarly, when arriving home, say hello to your dog and then don't pay any more attention to him until he's calm and relaxed.
- Give your dog a workout. Giving your dog lots of mental and physical stimulation goes a long way toward quelling behavior problems—especially those involving anxiety. Exercise can enrich your dog's life, decrease stress and provide appropriate outlets for normal behavior. And once she's all tuckered out, your pal won't have much energy left to get into trouble.
- Reward your pooch! Teach your dog to associate your departure with a reward, like a delicious stuffed Kong or other food-dispensing toy. This positive association can help resolve the problem, as well as distract your dog for the first few minutes you're gone!
