How to Buy Shares
Here is a short guide to help you understand how to buy shares. This guide includes where to open an account, the documentation you need and more.
Where to Buy Shares
Typically shares are bought through a stock broker either online or over the phone.
If you want to make a one off purchase of shares you may also be able to buy shares through your bank although this is an expensive route.
In my opinion those new to investing should open an account with a phone broker whilst more experienced investor could open an online account.
Phone brokers generally provide two types of service: advisory and execution only.
The advisory service is generally for large accounts and is more expensive than an execution only service.
It is my opinion that brokers who offer an execution only service would be happy to spend a few minutes discussing a share that you would like to buy.
After all, the more profitable you are the happier your broker will be!
Phone brokers are generally a little more expensive than online platforms but at least you can ask for some advise, such as overseas transaction costs etc, which is especially handy if you are new to investing.
What to Look For When Opening a Stock Broking Account
You can open either a personal account or a nominee account.
A personal account means that the shares are held in your name. This ensures that any documentation, such as share tenders, is send to your own address.
A nominee account let's a third party look after your shares. All communication from the company in which you hold shares will be send to the third party holding your shares.
Personal accounts are more expensive than nominee accounts.
One main separating factor when deciding on a stock broker is the annual account management charge.
Some brokers do not charge an annual account management fee whereas others do. Research carefully.
Other items to research are the broker's commission structure; administration fees, any other fees (important when buying stocks in markets not represented by your broker), which markets your broker represents (without going through a third party) and which securities/derivatives, as well as exchange-traded funds your broker can deal.
Also check if your broker pays interest on the cash in your stock broking account.
What Documentation Do You Need
Opening a stock broking account is just like opening a bank account.
You will generally need the following documents;
- Two utility bills with your name and address on them
- Either your passport or your birth certificate
When opening an account by post you need to have the above signed by the Gardai.
Don't forget to ask for an application form to open an account from your broker. They can send this to you by post.
Also you need a cheque to cover your first purchase of shares. After your first transaction you can buy shares on a T+3 basis which means that you don't have to pay for the shares until 3 days after you have bought them.
Share Prices
A share has three prices. These are the bid, mid and offer prices.
The mid price is the share price that you see in the business section of the newspaper.
The offer price is the price as which you buy the shares at (or conversely the price the market makers sell the shares at).
The bid price is the price at which you sell your shares at (and the market maker buys at).
The difference between the offer price and the bid price is called the spread.
For large, liquid companies, such as the Dow Jones or FTSE-100 constituents, the spread is tiny at often much less than 1%.
For illiquid micro capitalised companies the spread could be very wide at 10% or more. This means that the share price must increase by at least 10% for you to break even!!
Before buying shares you should always have a cash surplus available for emergency circumstances. A chief reason why people take paper losses is that they need the money from their shares for other reasons.
Also be very wary of leveraged products that can force losses greater than the principal investor.
As always be aware that all investments can fall as well as rise. Always invest with patient money.
I hope that this short guide has proven useful to you.

About 2 years ago I was looking for investment advice and Marcel was recommended to me by another broker. We organised one meeting per month and having met up regularly over the past two years I can highly recommend one-on-one lessons with Marcel. Every month I learn more and more about how the stock market works including market maker tricks and how to value stocks amongst many other things. He has taught me how to read company annual reports so that I can decide for myself whether to invest in a business or not. Our one to one sessions have been financially very beneficial to me and for anyone interested in value stocks and dividend investing, I would highly recommend them. JL – Cork
I contacted Marcel because I wanted to improve my understanding of the cash flow statement. We had five meetings over Skype in which I was able to tailor make the sessions to suit what I wanted to learn. We focused on current company accounts, looking at KBC, RMV, ASC and NEX. I highly recommend Marcel's services if you want to increase your knowledge of company accounts, he certainly knows his stuff. SG – London

The Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) is seeking bids to upgrade the existing wireless network to 4G technology, the latest-generation wireless technology, for Red Line and Blue Line subway tunnels. This initiative is one of several efforts by Mayor Emanuel and CTA President Forrest Claypool to modernize infrastructure and make the CTA a world-class transit system.The upgraded subway wireless network will improve the customer experience by offering better and more robust voice and data services, and improve safety by providing more reliable communication between CTA personnel and emergency responders. "Investing in Chicago's world-class transit system includes upgrading transit technology for the benefit and safety for the millions of Chicagoans who commute via CTA buses and trains each week," said Mayor Rahm Emanuel. "This investment is part of my commitment to improving public transportation infrastructure across the city, which will boost ridership and encourage long-term economic growth for the region."Last fall the agency issued the first step in a Request for Proposals (RFP) process to select a pool of qualified bidders for the project. The second step of the RFP process has begun with the issue of a detailed specification of the project to the pre-qualified bidders, seeking their proposals for the design and installation of a modern cellular infrastructure system in the CTA's Red and Blue line tunnels and underground facilities. "We're pleased to make progress in our efforts to update technology infrastructure that is no longer adequate to meet today's wireless needs, including those of our customers, our employees and emergency responders," said CTA President Forrest Claypool. "We're committed to finding the best qualified organization to efficiently design and install the modern infrastructure our subway tunnels need." Responses are due by mid-March. The CTA anticipates awarding a contract by summer 2014 and work to begin later in the year. The existing infrastructure dates back to 2005 and is inadequate to support modern wireless needs, according to the transit agency.Project costs will be determined after proposals are received from qualified bidders. As the wireless project is underway, the CTA will keep the current wireless network operational, and the CTA will continue to receive revenue from wireless providers as it does today.CTA has 12 miles of underground subway, or 24 miles of individual tunnels, on the Blue and Red Lines. Additionally, the subway system includes multiple underground passageways connecting rail lines and providing access to nearby buildings. The CTA currently owns and licenses its subway cellular network to six major wireless service providers, which generates approximately $1.8 million of annual revenue.

Another WR Trade Impacts Vikings 2010 SchedulePosted by on April 14, 2010 – 11:17 am
Earlier this week we discussed how the trade of WR Santonio Holmes from the Pittsburgh Steelers to the NY Jets impacted the Vikings in 2010 – it's just one more reason why the Vikings-Jets matchup would be a good one to showcase in prime time.
Now there's been another trade involving a WR that will have a similar impact on the Vikings during the upcoming season.
The Denver Broncos traded Brandon Marshall to the Miami Dolphins on Wednesday, a deal that gives the Dolphins an elite player at a position of need in exchange for their 2nd round pick this year and their 2nd round pick in 2011. The trade also gives the Vikings another WR with which to contend during the 2010 regular season because the Purple will see Miami at some point during the upcoming regular season.
While the true impact of these 2 WR trades on the Vikings is probably not as significant as it may seem, the fact remains these additions will only make more important the Vikings task of strengthening its pass defense for 2010. Many are speculating the Vikings will address the secondary with their 1st round pick (#30 overall) and that speculation is supported in light of the Dolphins and Jets acquiring talented WRs.
In his only career game against the Vikings (December of 2007), Marshall recorded 10 receptions for 114 yards and 1 TD. He also had 2 rushing attempts for 31 yards and 1 fumble.

I think Lawyer Milloy would be a nice pick up and then try to get a blue chipper on offensive line considering how poorly they played in the last 2 playoff games. If we are going to keep Brett heathy preferably a guard.

Non GAAP SG&A increased by $21.1 million, or 5%, principally due to the inclusion of a full quarter's SG&A costs for ABH in Q2 2012. On a CER basis Non GAAP SG&A costs grew by approximately 8%.
During Q2 2012 Shire amended its Non GAAP policy to exclude costs related to the settlement of litigation, government investigations and other disputes, together with related external legal costs. Comparative Non GAAP SG&A in Q2 2011 has not been restated as the amounts incurred in that period were not significant.
US GAAP SG&A increased by $70.7 million, or 16%, as Q2 2012 included the settlement of litigation and external legal costs, together with higher intangible asset amortization.
Interest expense
For the three months to June 30, 2012 Shire incurred interest expense of $9.6 million (Q2 2011: $9.9 million). Interest expense in Q2 2012 principally relates to the coupon on Shire's $1,100 million 2.75% convertible bonds due 2014.
The effective rate of tax on Non GAAP income for the three months to June 30, 2012 was 20% (Q2 2011: 23%), and on a US GAAP basis the effective rate of tax was 18% (Q2 2011: 25%). The effective rate of tax in Q2 2012 on both a Non GAAP and US GAAP basis is lower than the same period in 2011 due primarily to favorable changes in profit mix.

Gilbert Faure au nom de l'ASSIM's comment, November 23, 3:36 PM
in myopinion, if pinterest is good for brands, scoop.it is better for serious information, for science, research, teaching and learning!
Pinterest is slowly but surely becoming one of the most important social networks around. And not just for DIY stuff and home decor.
It doesn't matter in which industry you work. If you want to get exposure, Pinterest will provide it to you. However, you have to do more than pinning for the sake of pinning. Everything, from your pins to your boards, has to be optimized. You also have to interact with other members, repin, and like their pins.
In this excellent article written Stacey Corrin, you will learn that Pinterest is a little like Instagram. You reap what you sow.
"It seems Pinterest is finally putting an emphasis on quality content. No more is it a game of how often you pin or how many followers you have to see your pins. It's about providing the best value you can offer, in order to warrant showing up in someone's feed."

In this day and age, it is not enough to organize an event and wait for people to find you. If you want to draw the crowds, you have to reach out to them first. It's about marketing in a smart way.

Like every other social networks, Pinterest requires a strategy to work. You don't have to reinvent the wheel. You have to think like your customers.

Reposting content on third-party websites has been a hot topic ever since LinkedIn started allowing members to write posts for the platform. Many people have been re-sharing their content verbatim there.
Neil Patel addresses the issue well in this post. It's backed by personal experience, which makes it a very valuable case study.
Patel offers three suggestions:
- Rewrite the content
- Talk to the site owner
- Post the content on the other site only
He also talks about the rel=canonical tag.

After the social media "gold rush" of the last three or four years, it's time for most brands to step back and look at their social efforts more critically. This means asking some straightforward questions. Do you really need to spend time and money on all of the social networks? Does that Instagram account actually drive traffic to your site, or is it just a staff time-suck? Let's say, for sake of example, you are a bank. Does it really make sense for you to keep on pinning?
Reading between the lines is one of the most beneficial things you can do for your business.

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to guest on #bloggab, a weekly Twitter chat on personal blogging hosted by professional producer, marketer, and digital content manager, Patrick Phillips. The chat was divided into two parts. During the first half hour, Patrick asked me 11 questions. The other half was more of an "open mic" discussion, with everyone adding their thoughts and questions. It was a great format. Some of the insights were also fantastic!
From www
The debate surrounding the ROI of social media has been raging on for years. And yet, I find it as useless as ever before.
There is a need for big brands to justify investments. But small businesses and solo-preneurs are in a different situation altogether. Social media allows them to connect with an audience they could have never reached before. And build relationships! That's the keyword here.
Jim Belosic has some great pointers in this article. In particular, I like this quote:
Today's customers want a two-way conversation. In decades past, a company could blanket the airwaves, use direct mail to send out fliers and coupons, and fill the newspaper with cleverly crafted messages about their brand. These kinds of outbound efforts aren't as effective as they used to be. This doesn't mean that companies should ditch all other advertising and marketing efforts and invest only in social media. Instead, social media should be part of an overall strategy. The key is to make sure that there is a consistency across all the various investments.

Are we preparing students for the world they will face in 2014 or 1984?
There was an article recently in Inside Higher Ed that ruffled my feathers. Having been a faculty member myself I realize some of the difficulties in teaching and therefore give my academic brethren wide latitude especially when it comes to using, or not using, technology. But the story of a faculty member banning email between her and her students, except to schedule a physical meeting, seemed rather shortsighted to me. Here is the post I made on Inside Higher Ed:
I have visited Salem College, nice place, as it was in the same town (Winston-Salem, NC) when I worked at Wake Forest University.
I disagree with the professor's position and agree with DF's comment regarding a lost "Teachable Moment Opportunity."
I think the professor's focus is too narrow. Too focused on only her domain area.
According to Derek Bok, former president of Harvard University, the result of a college is experience is not only producing students with domain expertise (e.g., accounting) but also critical thinking, written and oral communication, qualitative and quantitative skills and, I would add, some degree of socialization.
I agree with the professor that students can, and do, abuse email. But if they do not learn how to appropriately use it in college they may abuse it when they graduate and are employed.
Written communication in 2014 is not just writing papers. Rather, it is knowing how to communicate using the tools available today (e.g., Outlook, Skype, IM, Yammer).
According to the article, "Years ago, she tried to take a stand against smartphones, tablets and laptops in the classroom." Well, if she is training her students for the work environment of 35 years about (pre-1980, pre-PC) that would be fine. But today technology is an integral part of almost all work environments and professions.
Many surveys (samples below) of employers show their dissatisfaction with what colleges are producing and what skills are needed to be successful in today's workplace. I realize that the mission of colleges and universities is much broader than vocational education. But, the traditional outcomes of a university education (e.g., communication, critical thinking, etc.) must be viewed through the lens of the affordances and constraints offered by technology which graduates will be using in their future workplaces.

Solving education problems with technology — do we have the right perspective?
Over the past two years we all have heard a great deal about the promise of MOOCs, as well as technology in general, and how they were going to transform education. This has not happened and there are now many articles coming out (good example here from The Atlantic) that again (this happens about every five – eight years) are denigrating the value of technology in education. While appearing negative, this growing trend may actually have an opening for Microsoft's intelligent way of integrating technology into education (much of it through professional development offerings).
Concerning the quote from below,
Software might be good at categorizing and organizing knowledge, but it's not so good at synthesizing and applying knowledge in the creative, and often highly contextualized and personalized, ways that educators and educational leaders have to employ every day.
In our Microsoft Technology Enriched Instruction (TEI) workshop, as well as much of our other professional development offerings, we do use software to categorize and organize knowledge (e.g., OneNote) but we also provide affordances for contextualizing and personalizing it through educators such as using Yammer or the web apps to support social and collaboration. Educators continue to provide the content, both the static—articles, text books, as well as the dynamic — in class discussions, which results in personalization. This is where one of the frameworks we use in TEI, TPACK, comes in. It provides guidance on helping educators find the appropriate "fit" between their selection of technology and pedagogy aligned to the content they are teaching.
So I agree with the basic arguments of the article that 1.) MOOCs were way over sold, and 2.) traditional universities (or schools) are not going away because of MOOCs or technology. I would add a third of my own – technology is, and always has been, a tool that provides new affordances. The right question is not how it can be used to replace all that has come before it but rather, how it can be used to augment, enhance and extend the "traditional" practices that still work. This is where our PD offerings come in. Not to transform education and make educators or their institutions less relevant. But rather, to help educators solve some of the most vexing problems facing the industry with capabilities provided by technology.

Permit-less parking technology
While my primary enthusiasm is on how technology can be effectively applied to teaching and learning, occasionally I run across an administrative problem\solution that sparks my interest. What could be seemingly mundane but of interest to almost everyone on campus than … parking!
I recently saw on the EDUCAUSE CIO Listserv a request for information on "permit-less" parking solutions. Given that Microsoft had adopted such a solution about a year ago I thought I would find out what we use and how it works. After all, we do consider our corporate headquarters here in Redmond, Washington as our "campus" with over 100 separate buildings (over 700 globally) that contain over 60K parking spaces for our Puget Sound area employees. In fact, one of our parking decks has over 8,000 parking spaces and, if lined up end-to-end, would be 8/10ths of a mile long.
I spent some time with Don Rufo who is in charge of our Campus Operations to find out the solution we use. I found out that we gave up years of hanging permits on our campus for a variety of reasons. First, they cost Microsoft about $25K every other year to administer. Second, we believed that having a Microsoft parking permit on employee cars made them a potential target for theft. Thieves might assume that such a car contained valuables such as laptops or Surface computers. Third, hanging permits, or the lack-thereof, did not give us the ability to easily identify suspicious vehicles.
After about a year of research and a proof-of-concept Microsoft purchased a solution from IRSA. We purchased their License Plate Recognition (LPR) program. Microsoft employees go to a simple website where we register all the cars we might bring to campus. Microsoft has outfitted a number of its security vehicle with IRSA cameras that scan the license plates of vehicles parted in our lots. It analyzes in real-time the plates and compares them to the database of registered employee license plates. We also have a list of license plates in the database for persons of interest (POI). The results show up on a PC in the security vehicle and identify if the plate is registered or not. If the plate is from a POI, it immediately notifies security personnel in the vehicle and back at our Global Security office.
To date the new permit-less parking program appears to be a great success. Employees like the ease of registration and not having to worry about something hanging from their mirrors.View Post

Viewpoint: In Defense of Markets
The latest resistance to deregulation is built on a foundation of lies.
reliability issue, one that, amongst other things, would be improved by greater regional coordination, rather than a surfeit of control areas based upon the traditional service zones of vertically integrated utilities. Ironically, the central infrastructure required for effective electricity markets commonly provides such coordination.
** "What About Enron?"
This brings us to another frequent red-herring employed by the anti-marketeers—an attempt to create guilt by association through some form of ad hominem reference to Enron. The implied argument goes: "Enron wanted electricity markets. Enron was bad. Therefore, electricity markets must be bad, too." In addition to the association being gratuitous, such an argument is, by definition, a logical fallacy.
Competitive electricity markets did not cause the collapse of Enron, with its trading activities generally regarded as profitable. However, even if Enron had lost money in these activities—even if they had been the greatest contributing cause to its bankruptcy—the concept of competition and choice, in electricity or any other market, is not invalidated because a participant in that market fails. Poor performers go broke. This is a Darwinian consequence of the free market.
On the flip side of the coin, Enron certainly was involved in trying to manipulate some of the electricity markets in which it participated, with varying degrees of success (generally depending upon the quality of the market design). This behaviour was in most cases unethical and in some cases illegal. It is nonsensical, however, to suggest that this is reason for dismantling the markets themselves. Many of Enron's most egregious abuses occurred in the securities markets, concerning the trading and manipulation of its own stock, yet no one seriously suggested shutting down the stock markets. It also is ironic that, as an arbitrageur, Enron was no great fan of organized markets, as such markets serve to promote price transparency and trading efficiency, whereas an arbitrageur profits from market inefficiencies and unequal information.
The demise of Enron was a corporate failure in the general sense—involving bad investments, magnified by inadequate governance and executive malfeasance. As such, Enron's gaming of electricity markets and its broader corporate misdeeds were symptoms of the same cause; a culture of unbridled hubris, willing to play fast-and-loose, with markets and the law.
** "What About California?"
Finally, a legitimate example of electricity market failure. The California malaise was summed up best by Larry Ruff: 6
"The disaster in California's restructured electricity market has been blamed on many things, including failure to build new power plants, high prices of natural gas and air pollution allowances, greedy suppliers, and the lack of demand reductions in response to high prices. But if there had been no restructuring, these same realities would have been managed without outrageous prices or financial collapse, and probably with fewer blackouts. Such factors 'explain' the failure of California's electricity market in the same sense that gravity 'explains' the collapse of a bridge. It is an explanation that in no way excuses such a badly botched design."
The initial Californian market was a classic product of design by committee—an unwieldy mish-mash that attempted to be all things to

Choices are what makes life so grand, but also so vexing at times. For instance, take the decision between Holly Peers amazing British funbags featured on Page 3 versus Rosie Jones jugtacular spectaculars also prominently displayed in the U.K. Sun. Is the question of 'better' even one worth debating? Boobs come in all shapes and sizes, and, like choices, also make life grand for men, and the melon-loving women out there (yes, we know you're out there, we see you watching).

More than 300 maritime representatives from all regions of the world will gather at the ILO on 7-11 April to consider the two key proposals jointly submitted by the international representatives of ship owners and seafarers to amend the Code (Standards and Guidelines) of the MLC, 2006. The meeting will also be a major forum for an international exchange of views on issues encountered in national implementation.
As of March 2014, the ILO's Abandonment of Seafarers Database listed 159 abandoned merchant ships, some dating back to 2006 with abandonment cases still unresolved. Many abandoned seafarers are aboard ships without pay, often for several months, and lack regular food supplies, medical care or means to return home.
|The ILO and top government, shipowner and seafarer representatives are addressing abandonment issues —as well as contractual claims for death, injury or disability due to occupational illness or injury—under the ILO Maritime Labour Convention, 2006.
Seafarers are frequently exposed to difficult working conditions and particular occupational risks. Working far from home, they are vulnerable to potential abandonment in foreign ports when ship owners are no longer fulfilling their responsibilities.
If these amendments are adopted by the Committee and successfully meet the other conditions for entry into force, they will mark the first time in maritime history that the plight of abandoned seafarers and the provision of financial security for seafarers' claims have been addressed in binding international law.
The MLC, 2006 was adopted at a Maritime session of the International Labour Conference in 2006 and came into force on 20 August 2013. To date, 56 ILO Member States have ratified the Convention, representing more than 80 percent of the world's gross tonnage of ships.
There are more than 1.5 million seafarers in the world. A majority of these seafarers now have a right to be protected through national laws and practices applying the MLC, 2006 to the ships on which they work.
The meeting will also include a special event on Monday, 7 April with the presentation by the International Seafarers' Welfare and Assistance Network (ISWAN) of the "International Seafarers' Welfare Awards 2014" for Seafarers' Centre of the Year, Shipping Company of the Year, Port of the Year, and Welfare Personality of the Year.
|Abandoned, but not alone
|For the seafarers on the B Ladybug, every day is one of waiting—for their pay, for fresh food and water and for a way home. Though their plight isn't an everyday occurrence, when it happens, it impacts them, their families and the maritime sector as well.

Tori Richard Hawaiian Metropolis Shirt 2 2
Very Attractive This was a Christmas gift for my husband who is very picky when it comes to buying clothes for him. He immediately loved the colors, unusual pattern and softness of this shirt. I would like to add that the shirt DOES have a pocket (you cannot see it online or in the catalog and it is NOT in the description of this item). I definitely would recommend this shirt. January 1, 2014
Extraordinary Fabric and Style A Tori Richard's shirt is not just "another Hawaiian shirt"! The fabric is silky, cool, and exquisitely printed. The patterns are somehow both dignified and delightfully informal. You will be proud and happy every time you wear a Tori Richard shirt -- or watch your significant other enjoy one. December 24, 2013

In November 2013 a joint academic meeting of British Association of Urological Surgeons (BAUS) and Sri Lankan Association of Urological Surgeons (SLAUS) was held in Colombo, Sri Lanka. It was attended by almost all Sri Lankan Urologists and a well represented delegation from BAUS including its President Elect Mr Mark Speakman. An important issue, among many others discussed at the meeting was how to forge a lasting and mutually beneficial relationship between BAUS and SLAUS. Mr Ian Pierce, Editor, Journal of Clinical Urology (JCU) suggested to invite a SLAUS member to join the JCU editorial board and to give JCU subscription to SLAUS members on a concessionary rate.
SLAUS in turn agreed to adopt the JCU as its International Journal. Subsequently all these proposals were discussed at their respective associations and were accepted overwhelmingly and unanimously by the members of the two associations.
Thereafter Ms Charlotte Jardine, Publishing Editor, Medicine and Life Sciences of Sage Publications arranged an exceptionally generous subscription for SLAUS members which will make other organisations envious of SLAUS! Furthermore the BAUS decided to pay the subscription of the first year (2014) as a gesture of good will!! SLAUS executive committee as well as its members are thrilled about these developments and are immensely grateful to entire BAUS membership especially Mr Mark Speakman, Mr Ian Pearce and Charlotte Jardine.
These developments augur well for a long lasting friendship between the two organistaions which are based in two countries which had historical and close relationships which run for over two centuries.

Dear EarthTalk: Is there a link between the recent spread of mosquito-borne diseases around the world and environmental pollution? -- Meg Ross, Lantana, FL
If by pollution you mean greenhouse gas emissions, then definitely yes. According to Maria Diuk-Wasser at the Yale School of Public Health, the onset of human-induced global warming is likely to increase the infection rates of mosquito-borne diseases like malaria, dengue fever and West Nile virus by creating more mosquito-friendly habitats.
"The direct effects of temperature increase are an increase in immature mosquito development, virus development and mosquito biting rates, which increase contact rates (biting) with humans," she reports.
While it's still far less common, U.S. cases of mosquito-borne dengue fever—also known as "breakbone fever" for the feeling it gives its victims—rose by 70 percent in 2012 as compared with 2011. The CDC reports 357 cases of dengue fever in the continental U.S. in 2012, up from 251 in 2011. The majority, 104, was in Florida, but New York had 64 and California 35. Most of the infections were imported on people travelling to the U.S.—Puerto Rico played host to 4,450 dengue fever cases in 2012, up from only 1,507 in 2011. But some of the cases in Florida likely came from mosquito bites there. The virus behind dengue fever thrives in tropical and sub-tropical environments. The increased warming predicted for the southern U.S. along with increased flooding means dengue fever will no doubt be spreading north on the backs of mosquitoes into U.S. states that never thought they would have to deal with such exotic outbreaks.
West Nile and dengue fever aren't the only mosquito-borne diseases on U.S. public health officials' radar. Chikungunya, which hitches a ride on the ever expanding Asian tiger mosquito and can cause high fever, fatigue, headache, nausea, muscle and joint pain, and a nasty rash in humans, comes from tropical Africa and Asia. But cases have started appearing in Western Europe in recent years and are expected to make it to the U.S. East Coast at anytime. Likewise, Rift Valley fever, which brings with it fever, muscle pain, dizziness, vision loss and even encephalitis, was limited to Kenya only a decade ago but today has spread across the entire African continent and is expected to make an appearance in Europe and the U.S. soon.
While researchers are hard at work to find vaccines against these diseases, concerned Americans can take some basic precautions to minimize their chances of getting mosquito bites. Keep screens on all the windows and doors in the house that can open. Outside, wear long pants and long sleeved shirts when possible and cover up with an insect repellent—the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) says only those formulations containing the chemical DEET have been proven effective but there are plenty of all natural alternatives out there. In the meantime, our best defense against these diseases may be keeping our carbon footprints down, as the less global warming we cause, the less we'll have to deal with an onslaught of tropical mosquito-borne diseases.

Ramona man's right-turn lane request short on support
By Karen Brainard
A resident's request to ask Caltrans to extend the state Route 67 right turn lane onto Dye Road by beginning it at Mussey Grade Road did not receive enough support from the Ramona Community Planning Group.
Joe Minervini told planners this month that he was suggesting it "because I guess if you live in the Estates, or where I do on the south side of town off of Dye Road, and you're coming up the hill at 5 in the evening, you want to get home as quickly as possible."
Minervini presented planners with his drawing of SR-67′s intersections with Mussey Grade and Dye roads, noting that the existing right turn lane is 560 feet and Caltrans' planned improvements will extend the turn lane an additional 800 feet. Minervini's proposal would add another 1,050 feet, making it a nearly half-mile right turn lane.
Mussey Grade Road resident Rick Morgal and some of the planners voiced concerns that such a change could make it difficult to turn on Mussey Grade, and could create a weaving lane where drivers would use it to weave in and out to pass cars.
Chair Jim Piva noted that Caltrans is nearly done with its design for improvements at that intersection, expected to start in 2015, and that a Caltrans employee unofficially told him a right turn lane from Mussey Grade to Dye Road would not happen.
Planner Jim Cooper, however, said the topic just keeps "bubbling."
"Solve it, put it to bed, get it off of the docket," Cooper said, suggesting the planning group send a request letter and Caltrans can always say no.
Planner Richard Tomlinson made a motion to send a letter to Caltrans for an official answer, but his colleague Dennis Sprong said, "My concern is even further requests of a project that is at this stage will send some kind of wave to slow the project down."
Tomlinson's motion failed 4-6 with Torry Brean, Piva, Sprong, Kristi Mansolf, Scotty Ensign and Matt Deskovick opposing.
In other action at the meeting:
•Planners agreed to draft a letter to the county to explore options for an oak tree that is leaning into the Mussey Grade Road travel lane. The tree is in the public right of way, 1,000 feet south of Dos Picos Park Road. Options suggested were road improvements or realignment, and cautionary signage.
Ensign, planning group vice chair, said trash trucks are clipping the side of the tree. Reluctance to remove the tree and destroy the canopy of branches over Mussey Grade Road, and consideration that the road has historic designation, led planners to seek options other than removal.
•Planners agreed to recommend removal of a 25- to 30-year-old eucalyptus tree with a three-inch diameter in the public right of way on Arena Drive. The tree's roots are damaging the curb and gutter.
•Planners approved a Verizon 35-foot cell tower that may look like a water tank at 15980 Snuz Mountain Road off Dos Picos Park Road.

Rev. Jesse Jackson Fights For SUNO
Reverend Jesse Jackson is encouraging everyone against the UNO SUNO merger to protest tomorrow in Baton Rouge. WGNO'S Vanessa Bolano was at SUNO today as he delivered his message.
A fired up crowed grew passionate while listening to the words of Reverend Jesse Jackson.
"The battle line has been drawn; we want SUNO to stay open."
The civil rights leader is joining thousands in the fight for SUNO. The university faces extinction if the proposed merger of UNO and SUNO is approved by the board of regents, a board Reverend Jackson calls unfair.
"The law says that the board should look like the state."
Last month, a group of students filed a lawsuit against the Governor and the board of regents, saying the board is unconstitutional because all appointed members were white. Just recently one member stepped down, and Governor Jindal appointed a new member. The new member is black, but Reverend Jesse Jackson says that doesn't change much.
"If we fight together and live together, board of regents should look like Louisiana."
Hundreds of students, faculty staff and friends packed into the gym this afternoon. Their message, save SUNO, they say now more ever they need to reach the board of regents and let them know SUNO should stand alone.
87-year-old SUNO supporter Millie Charles says, "I spent 40 years at SUNO and it's my heart."
Student Dominique Townsend says, "As a historically black university we need to have the opportunity to stand alone."
Young or old the fight for SUNO has crossed all boundaries. Now Reverend Jackson is asking students to march tomorrow at Baton Rouge as the board of regents meets to decide the fate of the university.
According to Governor Jindal the consultant studying the possible merger of the two schools has suggested two options; one would merge the two schools into one, the second redesigns the campuses. Reverend Jesse Jackson says either option would cause SUNO to lose it's focus as a historically black college.
Gov. Jindal says he will pursue legislation to consolidate SUNO and UNO.
In addition to its meeting today, the Board of Regents is scheduled to discuss a response to Senate Resolution 123 of the 2010 Regular Session concerning the delivery of higher education in the New Orleans region tomorrow, Tuesday, March 15, 2011, beginning at 9:00 a.m. Tuesday's meeting will be held in the Louisiana Purchase Room of Claiborne Building, 1201 North Third Street, Baton Rouge.
The agenda for tomorrow's meeting is below: Tuesday, March 15, 2011 9:00 a.m. Claiborne Building Louisiana Purchase Room 1201 North Third Street Baton Rouge, Louisiana I. Call to Order

Our Team Progress
- Goal:
- $1,000.00
- Achieved:
- $1,453.00
The Undersocialized
The ACT department may seem "undersocialized" at times, but in reality we assist almost every other department at the humane society on a daily basis. Aside from our own responsibilities of maintaining a high standard of cleanliness for literally thousands of animals per year that come through our shelter, we collectively perform the logistics of getting an animal from the doorway when it arrives to the suite where it is adopted. ACT's assist the Behavior Department with Safers, Felinality, and Meet-Your-Match evaluations, the Vet Department with surgery, treatments, transformation and euthanasia, we drive transfers between other campuses and MADACC, and some are even familiar with the processes of adoption counseling and intaking animals in arrivals.
As we perform these diverse responsibilities throughout the shelter, we see firsthand the need for donations to enrich the support we are able to give to each individual animal as it progresses through our shelter. The ACT/Operations departmental goal for the Tails on the Trail walk is $1,000. Donations can be made by visiting a teammember's page and clicking the "support" button, or contact a teammember for a cash/check donations.
Please consider donating today!

From experience and a father in law who works forensics: "Ballistic ID" is barely science. Essentially, an examiner can tell the make and model of the weapon used. A firearm will leave the following marks:Originally Posted by Mojoski
1) Rifling impressions on the slug
2)Breech face abrasions/impression on the case head
3)Firing pin impression on/in the primer
4)Extractor marks on the case rim
5)Possibly mag feedlip marks (very situational)
An example of very unique firearm marks are the striations left on fired cases by all HK's with the fluted chamber (90 series and the G3 cousins, P7/PSP series). A case with a P7 led to some of the most retarded inquiries I've ever heard from LE. Let's just say SES will be a decided factor in purchase demographics!
If you are the only person in the city with a Seecamp .380, and a body turns up with a slug/casing from said make/model, you can expect to spend some time talking with the authorities. OTOH, a Glock 17/19, unless some bastardized attempt to "disguise" it has been made by the offender, would be essentially useless, without other evidence.

Kidney Klassics
Stony Brook Kidney Center
26 Research Way, East Setauket, NY 11733
The Event
Health Fair and Mini Olympic Games Event
Location & Address
DCI at 26 Research Way, East Setauket, NY 11733
A community health fair/informational event was hosted on the back lawn of the Stony Brook Kidney Center-DCI property. There was a registration table providing information about the event and general information about kidney disease and dialysis. Donate for Life provided 50 packets of informational materials, which were provided to the community. Staff was on hand to answer questions. A series of carnival-type games, including bean bag tosses, hula hoop competition, and toss-across games were available. Soccer, volleyball, and badminton were also available on a rolling basis. Members of the DCI staff volunteered to participate in a dunk tank. Health screening for blood pressure and color blindness were available, as were additional materials regarding dialysis specific procedures. Food was provided by Tropical Smoothie Café. Music was provided by Al Garvin, DJ. On Friday the New York Blood Center hosted a blood drive in a mobile van at the event. Senator Flanagan attended and toured the event and facility. : Overall, the event was well received by its participants. Several members of the community with kidney disease, or with family members at risk for kidney disease attended and were introduced to staff that were able to assist them with questions and forming a network of support. Patients reported that the event was a welcome break from the daily routine of dialysis and helped them to see the staff and dialysis center as a less negative place. Several patients reported getting to know their fellow patients or family members of those patients better and strengthening their support group within the clinic. The New York Blood Center obtained 18 pints of blood and 10 additional donors who will return to a separate donation center at a later date, as they were ineligible on the 15th. There was a sense of camaraderie amongst the volunteers of the event and it is the belief of the Kidney Klassics planning committee that despite low attendance, the event was a success, as it promoted understanding that patients with kidney disease are able to participate in a variety of events with the general community, encouraged connections and unity amongst patients, and provided the unit with a way to give back to the patients.
Date & Time
July 15 and 16 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

A New Room-Related Stereophonic Reproduction System (German)
The new Eidophonic system will be described, which separates the basic information of tone and its direction of incidence. Only these two pieces of information have to be transmitted without regarding the number of loudspeaker channels used in the reproduction room. In this way transmission by FM-broadcasting or discs can be realized very simply. Acoustical experiments with the new omnidirectional reception system are discussed.

Jalapeño Bacon Deviled Eggs
Hormel recently sent me a case of their new Black Label Jalapeño bacon to try so I figured I'd use it to make some Jalapeño Bacon Deviled Eggs. What you see here are said eggs.
Everyone out there probably has their own preferred way of making deviled eggs, but for mine I always just mix egg yolks, mayonnaise, yellow mustard and a little bit of salt and pepper for the filling and then top my eggs with paprika.
I know … Continue Reading »
