I have been trying to find a shrub or miniature tree for the focal point of my front foundation of my house. My beds are deep but not very wide. (14'w x 18'd) The house is a colonial with a center stone section and a columned porch. The house has two very large bay windows flanking left and right of the front porch and I thought I would love a Hydrangea tree centered on those windows and work the other plants around that. The Hydrangea won't look very nice in winter. Does anyone know of a dwarf flowering tree I could use in this design? I have the depth in the bed to support a small tree. Of course I can always use a Rhodadendron
Does this idea of planting a dominant plant in the center of the bays sound too boring? I love when I can see something flowering through my windows. Would love to hear some suggestions. Thanks from NJ
Follow-Up Postings:
They don't flower, per se, but there are a host of Japanese Maples that stay under 10 feet--and some stay shorter. Much depends on your sun situation... They, too, will be leafless in the winter, but the weeping forms look nice nekkid, and the upright forms are almost as interesting and look great with little white lights in their branches at night. Some names to google: Acer dissectum 'Crimson Queen' Have fun. |
Thanks MJ, I will check into those. I did consider them at one time but was hoping I could find something that flowers. It may not exist. Best wishes |
You might get some suggestions if you post your question on the NJ gardening forum. Or you could contact a master gardener in your area--link below. I know what you mean about looking out a window and seeing something flowering. Not sure I'd center the tree in front of the windows, though...maybe to one side would look better. |

Maybe some of the newer cultivars of dwarf flowering crabapple trees that are highly disease resistant might be of interest to you. You have spring flowers and seasonal berries throughout the fall and winter. Viburnums may also work well. |

I have two Acer dissectum 'Crimson Queen' trees in my front yard. They have been a much stronger focal point in my front yard than anything that has flowered. Lucky for me they were planted several years ago by the previous home owner because moderate size Japanese Maples are $$$. - Brent |

Many shrubs lend themselves to pruning into a tree form. Keep in mind that a tree or shrub planted some distance away from the house may be easier to see than one that is directly under the window. Off to one side, so you don't block the light/views, but a photo would help. |
Thank you for the links for various resources. I haven't had time yet but plan to check them out. Rutgers is in my area and it would be interesting what they might suggest. PAPJ: Viburnum would be nice. I wonder if they prune them into tree like forms. I appreciate the comment about blocking light in front of the window. I put these windows in so I would have light in the rooms! I will have to be very careful but the depth of the bed (18ft) is helpful. I will let you know what I find out and see what your thoughts are hopefully soon. Thanks for the suggestions, I will check them out. TM |
Many viburnums are considered a large shrub or a small tree. |
oooo...how about a Viburnum trilobum? They take awhile to get to their full height... And it would work in your zone! |

Thanks again. I love the Cardinal Candy Vibernum. Do the deer like the berries on these shrubs? TM |
At our last house, I centered a pagoda dogwood in front of our living room window. The form was gorgeous in the winter, and the birds loved the berries. It flowered too, but that was actually the least of its charms. I had a flowering crab at the far corner of the house as well, but that was lovely for only about 15 days in spring. We much preferred the dogwood! This isn't my photo, but it's a good one to show the branching habit: |
DEE: That's lovely. Love the shape. I would need a background plant. I'm thinking a dark leaf The viburnum is nice too but I think I have to be careful with the species. It will tend to take over and it will be difficult to select co-ordinating shrubs. At least my creative juices aren't as readily available in thinking of what to put with the viburnum. At any rate I could flank the steps with the viburnum or put in in the corner. It will go somewhere because viburnum are favorites of mine. Thanks for the photo. TM |

I'm going out of the box here and suggesting a tree shrub called "Harry Lauder's Walking Stick." It's also called "Corkscrew Hazel" and is in the hazelnut family. It's almost impossible to describe but it has a lovely weeping form with contorted branches, it is very sculptural. Google it to see pictures, and check out a few since not all photographers do it justice. I worked at a place that had one planed as a central specimen. It has yellow pendant flowers in the early spring, which are stunning, and it looks great in the winter due to it's twisting and turning branches. It is not quite as stunning in the middle of the summer although it still have a lovely form and lovely leaves then. There's no such thing as a perfect four season tree, but this one has two great ones, spring and winter. To me, a north country girl, the real test of a plant in my garden is do I love it in the winter, lol! The crabs are nice in late fall but not much in the winter. I agree that dogwood comes close to being a true four season wonder. Some of the japanese maples with interesting bark qualify too in my book. I think the weeping cherries look goofy in the winter, but some people like them and I could see the arguement in favor of them if you like the look. |
Viburnum prunifolium takes on a lovely small tree form. Malus sargentii would also work. |

Online Texas hold 'em (hold'em, holdem) Poker Game
Poker is a type of card game played by multiple players sometimes for fun but more often for real money wagers. Players begin by making an initial bet into the pot where all the bets are pooled. Depending on the variation of the poker game , additional betting rounds may occur throughout the game. The winner with the highest hand will take all the money in the pot, or if there are several winners, the money is split up.
The objective of poker is to combine cards into the best hand possible according to the standard poker hand rankings. There are many different variations of poker that use 3, 5 or even 7 card hands (such as 7 card stud). In standard casino poker each player is dealt 5 cards and must combine the cards according to high-card, pairs, 3 or 4 of a kind, runs, flushes, royal flushes and even combinations of several of these. No card suit outranks another when you play poker , but to achieve a flush or straight flush all cards must be in the same suit.
Though poker has branched off into many different variants, especially in the US, Texas hold'em poker remains the most popular variation. Hold em poker is categorized as a community card game which means all the players at the table must use 5 exposed cards in combination with their own 2 hidden hole cards in order to form the best possible hand. In Texas hold em, the dealer responsibilities are shared by all the players at the table and rotates in a clockwise direction. Usually a button is passed around indicating which player is the dealer for that game.
Texas holdem poker includes several rounds of betting. Some variations include an ante (common in high stakes poker tournaments) as well as big blinds and small blinds (pre-determined wagers made according to the player's proximity to the dealer). Usually the betting structure is as follows: the blinds are posted during the pre-flop (opening of the poker game), after that comes the flop, then the turn, followed by the river, and the final betting round is known as the showdown. The player that wins the showdown scoops the entire pot. Limit, no-limit, and pot-limit variations are the most common versions of Texas hold'em.
Poker has been played in many different cultures and countries, and though the exact origins of the game are not completely known, it has gained a large following worldwide. The introduction of online poker, available to play on the Internet, has rapidly increased the spread and popularity of the game. Millions of people play poker online every day. Some choose to play free poker while others enter into online poker tournaments played for real money wagers. Free online poker is offered by most poker software providers as a way of allowing the player to preview the game. Some people simply enjoy playing a free poker game for recreation, while others prefer to gamble for real money. Poker download software is available for free and often, new players receive a promotional bonus in order to get started.
All of the most popular poker variations are available online, including Texas Holdem, Five Card Draw, Seven Card Stud, Caribbean Stud, Three Card Poker, Video Poker and more. Online poker software even includes a social aspect allowing players to communicate with each other using the chat function.

The plant swap/garden visit/potluck will be on Sunday May 7th starting at 12 noon. The garden is in western Burlington County, N.J. and includes a diversity of plant material. I'm looking forward to an afternoon of plant swapping, good food, and good plant talk. Please see my page and email me for directions. |

Steve, I hope I can go - missed it last year. I don't know yet what I can bring - I'll have to take inventory as things come up. Lisa |
Steve, I think I'll be able to go, and I'm looking forward to it! Lori |
Hi Steve I'll put it on my calendar. Hope you enjoyed this mild winter! Annie |
Hi Steve! I'll be coming. I let Judy know about the swap too. I think she & I will be coming together. I'm going to look through my cannas to see what survived over the winter. are you interested? Ellen |
I'm interested in Cannas. |
- Posted by sugar_magnolia z6 Hamilton, NJ (My Page) on Wed, Apr 5, 06 at 21:29
I'LL BE THERE AND MAYBE I'LL BRING A FRIEND. Thanks for hosting again, Steve. I love your arboretum! Your "My Page" link isn't working -- can you email direction? You know my addy. I got lost last time. Thanks! |
Steve, I am interested in it too. I have a lot of seedlings of perennials (winter sown) and some annuals, but I am not sure how big are they going be. I can make a list and post it here this evening. I also have a lot of scarlet bee balm and some creeping thyme. I can't think of any thing else I could bring. Please send me the directions. Also, should I bring any thing to eat (since you mentioned that it is a potluck) Thank you. |
- Posted by sugar_magnolia z6 Hamilton, NJ (My Page) on Thu, Apr 6, 06 at 13:31
Well, here's my wish list... all z6; I will post what I have to trade later. I'll also bring 'good eats' to the gathering. bamboo -- growing to approx 20', upright, for sun; perhaps yellow groove, water bamboo, or beautiful bamboo phew... I think that covers it for this season at least:-) |
Steve, I will be there. I hated to miss it last year, but I knew I was moving and couldn't use the plants anyway. But I'd love to see your garden again and perhaps you all will have pity on me (new garden with nothing to share) and throw any extras my way. I am looking for shade loving plants, particularly hosta and also herbs for my one sunny area. And if there are no extras, I know I will be inspired by your garden and enjoy meeting with everyone. Please e-mail directions, I forget how to get there. Dana |
I've been propagating and potting up like mad. I'll have Xanthorrhiza simplicissima, variegated Virginia Creeper, Cestrum parquii, Spilanthes sp., Buddleia lindleyana, Trachelospermum asiaticum 'Red Top', a few Trachycarpus, a few Sabal minor, Schizophragma 'Moonlight' and S. 'Brookside Littleleaf', Hydrangea anomala petiolaris, maybe some white top sedge, and various others. There are also plenty of things in the ground begging to be divided. There will be plenty of extras. Bring bags. |
- Posted by birdgardner NJ/ 6b (My Page) on Sun, Apr 9, 06 at 1:35
Steve, are you interested in Beedhams White lamium, chartreuse leaf with a silver blaze and white flowers? I thought it would look good in some of your woodland beds. It stays short and doesn't smother, and is a reasonable not galloping spreader. Looking forward to the trachelospermum and I hope I can have a piece of your yellow lonicera sempervirens. I'll be bringing in quantity seedlings from slate purple hellebore lesser quantities of - dicliptera suberecta I'm hoping for: Lisa |
I'll have ostrich fern, phlox for the digging. I have layers of L. sempervirens, but I don't know which color. You can try cuttings. I'd be interested in hedychium, white butterfly ginger and Beedham's White lamium. I have several other Hedychium; I keep pieces in pots as insurance and I'll check for H. coccineum. |
- Posted by sugar_magnolia z6 Hamilton, NJ (My Page) on Sun, Apr 16, 06 at 17:17
I'll be bringing potted buttercup squash, lavendar, sage (herb), rosemary (herb), baby's breathe, poppys, hydrangea, and various vegetable seed packets, and some containers for planting. |
Steve, I've just gone though my cannas to see what I lost and what survived, I'll be emailing you with a list. I know that I have some tropicanna and bengal tiger. Are you looking for pots again this year? I can bring some more for you. I haven't put together my list of haves yet. How about Lamium - pretty variegated kind, but unnamed. I haven't seen it bloom yet so I don't know the colors yet. Ellen |
- Posted by agardenstateof_mind 7a/b NJ (My Page) on Fri, Apr 28, 06 at 12:34
Hi Steve, and everyone else. I'd love to come to the swap, but am completely new at this type of event, though I've been gardening for a while. May I ask for a few tips and guidelines? Thanks very much! Diane in Monmouth County |
The swap is casual and there are plenty of plants. Bring a food item for the potluck and a few plants, pots, supplies, etc. if you have extras. Plan on arriving by noon, or as early as 10 AM if you wish. Interest permitting, there will be a side trip to visit nearby public plantings which include hardy palms. Although the camellias will be mostly finished, many other things will be in leaf, bud, and bloom. |
Since people will probably want them, I'll bring all Christmas fern (Polystichum acrostichoides) divisions and Spicebush (Lindera benzoin) volunteers that I can. So far I've only seen 2 spicebushes, but I'm hoping I'll come across more. Please let me know about the other plants though, since I may or may not bring enough for you otherwise (Lisa, Ellen, and sugar_magnolia, I'll bring the plants you mentioned for yourselves--creeping phlox , Japanese maples, and evergreen azaleas respectively). You donÆt need to reply for those unless youÆre not interested). Dana, let me know what youÆre interested in. (in case itÆll make you feel better, if you used to use the name danaNJ, IÆm still enjoying some of the plants you gave me 2 summers ago! Go ahead though, even if you're not.) Will bring if requested: Winter Sowing results. I will bring if requested (first year I tried this. All look the same. I apologize in advance if IÆm giving you weeds): The following 2 plants grow fairly rampant for me: Volunteers. (For azalea and blackhaw, donÆt know yet if they have their own roots) Plants and/or seeds I'd like |
Lori, Same Dana, new garden. I am so glad to hear that my plants did well for you. I am interested in all ferns and hostas (lots of shade in new garden). Also both Cardinal Flowers, Monkey Flower, spiderwort (was this from me-intense blue?) and sedum. Darn. I had some barren strawberry I got from Steve 3 years ago in my old garden. Oh, well. Looking forward to seeing you again, Dana |
Dana, The spiderwort I have is just what came with the house. Think it's straight species Tradescantia virginiana, but I'm not positive. The flowers are a fairly deep purple. When I hadn't heard anything yet on Sunday, and DH was eager to clear up the area where I had my wintersowing I said ok, so the red cardinal flower and monkey flower will be very skimpy (but hopefully I'll still be able to bring something that'll grow into something). See you Saturday! Lori |
Meant to write "See you Sunday!" Don't want to confuse anyone about the day. Lori |

New York Mayor Bill de Blasio Blasts Lorde's 'Royals' At Victory Party (Video)
Lorde's fanbase has expanded from Switzerland homebodies to rappers and now, politicians. After being named the Mayor of New York City Tuesday night (Nov. 5), Bill de Blasio soundtracked his victory with the soul sensation's no. 1 smash "Royals." Watch him step up to the podium above after a warm welcome from his wife Chirlane, "Progress" sign-holders and a 16-year-old blaring through the speakers. Laced with such lines "Let me be your ruler," consider de Blasio's new anthem a campaign message.

For Pokemon fans, of which there are many, the announcement of any new Pokemon game is reason to celebrate, but today's reveal is more exciting than most. Pokemon Conquest has just been announced for US release on June 18 for Nintendo DS. Why are we so overjoyed at this fact? Because we felt fairly certain this game would never be released outside of Japan.
Late last year there were rumors of a new Pokemon game to be announced in Japan, a game that ended up being Pokemon + Nobunaga's Ambition. It wasn't the sequel to Black/White we were hoping for, but the strategy game crossover that brought together pocket monsters with Koei's unique take on Japanese history sounded incredible (and incredibly niche). We were sure that such a specialized game coming out on the virtually dead DS had little chance of ever being launched outside of Japan. Thankfully we were very, very wrong.
The title has only been out a couple weeks in Japan, now Nintendo and Pokemon Company have announced it's coming to the US in a matter of weeks with a little name change. Could this be a sign Nintendo is relaxing its standards on what games are "too Japanese" for international audiences?

I have placed an order for Marvin Ultimate Clad windows. I am very excited to finally get rid of the 25-year-old single-pane rotted-frame windows. This past winter's polar vortex situation was horrible. I had minus-20 outside and horrible drafts and thick ice dams inside my windows. So I am impatient for the new Marvins. I don't know why, but I expected a lead time of 3 weeks for the windows to get here. My contractor said this winter was so bad that everyone is like me and replacing windows. Resulting in backlog. I am curious, what is this forum's current experience as to lead times? |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by millworkman (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Fri, Apr 18, 14 at 19:37
What lead time were you told? When I sold them this time of year was always 4 to 6 and closer to 6 on larger orders |
Current quoted lead times are 5- 7 weeks for standard and special items. There are exceptions but I don't know the specifics of your project. |
Sorry, I should have said in my OP. Contractor told me 5-6 weeks. It's only 3 windows, though they are tall, but I thought no big deal for 3 windows it won't be a long time to get here. Was wishful thinking I guess. I am glad to hear that's within normal range. |

A federal judge in San Jose, Calif., will decide Friday whether Gmail users are victims of invasion of privacy. Google admits to scanning every email sent or received by Gmail's 425 million users. The search engine giant said it notifies its users of the practice, the company's privacy policy, and terms of service.
But some note the information is buried in the fine print.
"At least they should make it clear," Ben Dai, a college junior, said. "At least they should make it clear, absolutely clear, like bold fine print, underlined, italicized that they're going through my mail."
Consumer watchdog Jamie Court said, "This is all about Google's business model of gathering as much data as it can about our appetites, our hungers, our desires so it can target us with marketing."
The case could be pivotal for future Google services.

Ed. Note: The Rule 4 amateur draft is one of the most important days of the baseball year. Making the right selection on draft day reverberates throughout an organization, just as whiffing on a pick keeps general managers and scouting directors up at night.
Drafting is important but isn't the be all, end all. The Toronto Blue Jays have a decent draft record over the past two decades. The team has, at times, been decent. That's it. How did it happen? Craig Robinson dig into the Blue Jays drafting with the latest Flip Flop Fly Ball infographic.

Bardo is defined as the intermediate state between death and rebirth in Vajrayana Buddhism. It is believed that upon death, one enters a state in which both peaceful and wrathful deities appear in visions. Preparation for this moment throughout one's life entails meditation and deep study of the representations one will see in these visions.
The paintings represented in this exhibition are examples of works used as meditation tools among Vajrayana Buddhists to contemplate their imminent encounter with death. In Bardo, images of deities are shown on painted scrolls (thankgas), statues and two three-dimensional mandalas that display the interior and outer parts of the palace in which these deities are believed to inhabit. The exhibition is configured with design elements of a Buddhist temple (lha khang) with two side chapels, one for peaceful, the other for wrathful gods (mgon khang, shrine room of protector deities, where elements include paintings with black backgrounds, masks etc.).
Approximate Number of Works: 25 including paintings and sculpture
Female Buddhas
Female Buddhas presents an appraisal of the feminine in Tibetan Buddhism and an overview of its prominence in Tibetan art. It abounds with buddhas, bodhisattvas, and meditational deities whose divinity is framed as distinctly feminine.
The sacred art of the Himalayas draws upon the genre of esoteric literature known as Tantra, religious scriptures that specialize in practical philosophy, meditation techniques, and physical yoga. These manuals are best understood as revelation, teachings that are transmitted to particular people at particular times in history.
The works of art brought together here depict female aspects of divinity within various Tantric systems of understanding. Through these works of art, the universal goddess emerges, in her multiple forms, beatific and horrific.
Approximate Number of Works: 30-40 including paintings and sculpture

Patron and Painter: Situ Panchen and the Revival of the Encampment Style
Of all the Tibetan painting traditions, the Encampment style (Gardri) drew the most heavily on Chinese painting. It was established by the Tibetan painter Namkha Tashi in the court of the Ninth Karmapa (1555-1603) during the second half of the sixteenth century. Namkha Tashi looked to Indian painting as model for figures, placing them in Chinese-inspired landscapes.
Most of what we know of this tradition, however, belongs to its eighteenth century revival, fostered by the great scholar-painter Situ Panchen Chokyi Jungne (1700-1774) in eastern Tibet. Even more important to the history of Tibetan art than Situ Panchen's place as an individual painter is his role as a patron and designer of paintings, many of which continue to be copied to this day. For the first time anywhere, this exhibition traces the career and artistic legacy of one of the great patrons and artists in Tibetan history.
Approximate Number of Works: 50 including paintings and sculpture

Wondering if anyone else who has a retail stand or goes
to a market has noticed any lower sales of sweet corn? We seem to be selling less sweet corn than in other years. I wonder if these low carb diets are to blame. Any input? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Mmmmmm i cannot wait for the rush to start. and...i have to comments that prob mean absolutely nuthing to u but here goes. make sure u have the up to date seed. a local place that used to sell the top in the area hasnt kept up with the others. when i told him this, he looked at me and said 'well, ur the first to say' i happen to know he still hasnt changed. and 2, i think there are alot more sellers out there going to farmers markets, etc and there is a delution of the customers. when u keep bragging about how wonderful it is to work next to the earth is, dont be suprised if a few smart people join ya. and 3, is there any real # of carbs in corn? if they really think that its bad for u to eat fresh corn, they are nutz. froggy |
- Posted by Schoolhouse z5/ohio (My Page) on Wed, Jul 14, 04 at 22:42
Just curious, how much you selling for? It's $4.00 a dozen where I live! Good corn, tho, but never saw it goin' for so much. |
Sweet corn is a complex carbohydrate and for many diehard low carb diet people it is a big no no. We have been selling sweet corn and other summer veggies at a roadside stand for approx. 12 years. To answer Schoolhouse, we sell our corn for $4 a dozen also, but have been doing so for many years. People never complain about the price. We guarantee our corn is fresh picked daily. I don't think price has anything to do with the decline in sales. My son says some customers have actually said that they are on a low carb diet so they have cut back on how much corn they eat. I see they are researching a new variety of sweet corn which will be lower in carbs. I guess if they are doing this research there must be something to the diet fads. Other growers in our area have also noticed a decline in sales this year so far. |
I dont grow sweet corn for sale, I do other stuff. But,a local big sweet corn grower has seen declining sales at his farm store, set up a mobile stand in an adjoining town and is moving it well. Problem is, a couple other growers have noticed lagging sales and reduced proice to $3 per doz. Every one w. an acre is a grower now and some sell for $1.50! A little spending money for the kids, a loss for the ones trying to make a living. |

It's the day before Thanksgiving. Some people are working, some have the day off. Others are loading the car or boarding a plane to visit family. Many are beginning dinner preparations.
Millions are caregiving. On a day like today, life isn't all that different for caregivers, unless they're anticipating the arrival of out-of-town family and friends. Unless a medical emergency happened in the middle of the night and they're now forced to make a quick decision about senior care (a decision which, ideally, requires more time). Unless a loved one recently passed away and this will be the first holiday with an empty chair at the table. Unless the strain of 24-7 care has rendered the primary caregiver unable to do anything but make a reservation for dinner at a local restaurant.
Being a caregiver is a responsibility that doesn't change when the calendar says "holiday." You may want to travel to see family, but as the primary caregiver, you feel guilty for your desire to get away, afraid that something may happen when you're gone.
If you're a caregiver, you're probably eager for the holidays to come and go, to get back to a routine that's more consistent and predictable.
No matter what your caregiving circumstances are today, reach out. Reach out to another caregiver who may need encouragement. Invite her to join you for dinner. Reach out for help from family and friends, even if it's just to clear the dishes so you can take a 2-hour nap after the meal has been served. Find a way to give yourself a break this Thanksgiving, and take time to be thankful for both the challenges and the joys of caregiving.

Public Health News Roundup: April 25
Study: Single Can of Sugary Soda Can Increase Diabetes Risk 22 Percent
Drinking even a single 12-ounce can of sugary soda once a day can up the risk of diabetes by 22 percent, according to a new study out of Imperial College London. Researchers looked at the data of approximately 350,000 European residents. "Given the increase in sweet beverage consumption in Europe, clear messages on the unhealthy effect of these drinks should be given to the population," said study leader Dora Romaguera, according to Reuters. Previous studies have also shown a link between sugary drinks and increased risk of obesity and type 2 diabetes, which affects approximately 310 million people, according to the World Health Organization. Read more on diabetes.
Teen Years in the 'Stroke Belt' Ups Risk of Stroke Later in Life
Growing up as a teenager in the U.S. "stroke belt"—an area in the country's southeast—can increase the risk of stroke later in life by as much as 17 percent, according to a new study in the journal Neurology. Risk factors including high blood pressure and diabetes are only partially responsible for the increase risk. "Many social and behavioral risk factors, such as smoking, are set in place during the teenage years, and teens are more exposed to external influences and gain the knowledge to challenge or reaffirm their childhood habits and lifestyle," said study author Virginia Howard, with the School of Public Health at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, in a release. Across all age groups the risk was double for black Americans when compared to white Americans. Researchers were careful to note that the findings do not demonstration causation. Read more on strokes.
Poultry Probably Source of China's New Bird Flu Strain
Researchers believe that poultry-to-human transmission from "wet" markets is likely responsible for the new H7N9 bird flu strain that has killed 22 people in China and infected more than 100. Wet markets sell and immediately slaughter poultry. So far the strain does not seem to pass easily between people, so the researchers feel relatively confident that closing the markets and slaughtering the birds will control the outbreak. "Overall, the evidence, in terms of epidemiology and virology, suggests that it is a pure poultry to human transmission, and that controlling [the epidemic in humans] will therefore depend on controlling the epidemic in poultry," said Kwok-Yung Yuen of the University of Hong Kong, according to MSNBC. The findings were published in the journal Lancet. Read more on infectious disease.


text: Biko prevail in Bakau derby clashMonday, March 10, 2008 Steve Biko grasped their first win in three games after a 1-0 victory over neighbours Sait Matty on Saturday at the Serrekunda West Mini-stadium. Alasan Camara's 59th minute strike helped Biko to carry the whole three points, but the embattled side were grateful for some poor finishings from the Africell sponsored side. Sait Matty created numerous scoring chances in the first interval but were just too playful in front goal mouth. The second interval saw a more aggressive Biko side and their price paid off in the 59th minute when Alasan Camara's strike beat the former U-17 and Biko keeper, Abdoulie Njie, to break the deadlock. Sait Matty fought back and striker Omar Bojang and versatile Domingo were all closed to an equaliser but they were just too anxious direct their target. Author: by Nanama Keita | Related Topics |

This week, we have a story written by Tim Marchant, from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Tim has had literacy tutoring with READ Saskatoon.
I'm getting better but I've got some ways to go. I might go to school, yet.
I've improved my performance. Got a raise several times in five years. I can drive to work now that I've got a license.
I used to have a hard time understanding people, so I didn't go to anything.
I'm an assistant coach in hockey.
I knew literacy was important but now I know it affects everything.

Authorities arrest four Central Coast residents in connection with a heroin sales investigation.
Investigators from multiple agencies say they served drug search warrants at three locations in the Five Cities area Thursday morning. One of the locations was in Oceano, but the exact address is not being released. The two other locations were in the 200 blocks of S. 10th and 11th Streets in Grover Beach.
Investigators say those searches stemmed from a three-month-long investigation into heroin sales in both Grover Beach and Oceano. Four people were arrested in connection with Thursday's searches. Officers took 31-year-old Rod Cooper, 44-year-old Mark Lepley and 45-year-old Allen Sell into custody on various drug charges. 58-year-old John Lowerison was also arrested for violating parole.
Authorities say this case remains open and they are expecting more arrests.
Anyone with any information pertaining to the case can call CrimeStoppers at 1-800-549-7867.

Eli Lilly and Co. is promoting a trio of senior executives with the announcement that longtime company Bryce Carmine and Frank Deane plan to retire.
Supplier News Breaks Archives
INDIANAPOLIS – Eli Lilly and Co. is promoting a trio of senior executives with the announcement that longtime company Bryce Carmine and Frank Deane plan to retire.
The pharmaceutical company said this week that Carmine and Deane are slated to retire as of Dec. 31. Carmine, whose Lilly career spans 36 years, has led Lilly Bio-Medicines since its creation in 2009. And Deane, whose career at Lilly covers 33 years, has led global manufacturing operations since 2007.
With their retirement, Lilly is making several promotions, all effective Jan. 1:
• Dave Ricks, president of Lilly USA, is being promoted to succeed Carmine as senior vice president and president of Lilly Bio-Medicines. Ricks formerly was general manager of Lilly affiliates in China and Canada. Ricks' responsibilities will include the United States, Japan and Europe.
• Maria Crowe, senior vice president for global drug product manufacturing, is being promoted to succeed Deane as president of manufacturing operations. She formerly was general manager of manufacturing sites in Ireland and Puerto Rico. As head of manufacturing operations, she will lead a network of 22 sites in 13 countries and will have responsibility for Lilly's global contract-manufacturing organization.
• And with Ricks' promotion, Alex Azar is being promoted to president of Lilly USA, the company's largest affiliate. Azar has been vice president of U.S. managed health care services and Puerto Rico since 2009.
Carmine and Deane were described as "pillars of the company" by Lilly chairman and chief executive officer John Lechleiter.
"We'll certainly miss Bryce and Frank and the extraordinary leadership they provided," Lechleiter stated. "At the same time, we're very fortunate to have talented leaders who are well-prepared and ready to step into these critical roles."

This week's news brings us unexpected perspectives—from the connections between a cruise ship and Korogocho, Kenya, to the reasons behind the surprising comment, "I wish I had AIDS."
Health care activist: avoiding the "I'll give back later" trap
Knowledge@Wharton, February 27, 2013
Steve Davis is president and CEO of PATH, an international nonprofit whose goal is to help communities break longstanding cycles of poor health. The cross-sectoral skills he has accumulated during his earlier work in other organizations, he says, are crucial when it comes to adapting innovations to the places that need them most. In an interview with Wharton management professor Michael Useem during the World Economic Forum in Davos, he talks about his approach to leadership, the importance of strategic partnerships, the effort to eradicate malaria in northern Africa and how to avoid the "I'm-going-to-give-back-later [to society]" trap.
Advocates urge US to maintain global health funds
The Hill, February 26, 2013
The United States must maintain its investments in global health despite the threat of sequestration and calls for deficit reduction, advocates said Tuesday.
"I wish I had AIDS": is the global health sector neglecting noncommunicable diseases?
Seattle Globalist, February 25, 2013
The last thing I expected to hear when I came to Cambodia to ask people about everyday diseases that don't make world headlines was "I wish I had AIDS."
Five days on the Triumph cruise ship—or a lifetime in a slum
Huffington Post, February 25, 2013
Can you imagine having to spend five entire days in the tropics confined to crowded quarters with thousands of others, without functioning plumbing or adequate food? With sewage and its stench surrounding you, helpless to escape? And, needless to say, no air conditioning?
We've been looking at the spread of global pandemics all wrong
The Atlantic, February 25, 2013
Five hundred years ago, the spread of disease was largely constrained by the main mode of transportation of the time: people traveling on foot. An outbreak in one town would slowly ripple outward with a pattern similar to what occurs when a rock drops onto a surface of still water. The Black Death moved across 14th century Europe in much this way, like concentric waves unfurling across the continent.

Partnering with Vincent Design (UK) we were asked to help re-invigorate Breast Cancer Campaign's branding. The key design challenges were immediately obvious, how do you create stand out in a sea of pink whilst retaining the visual equity of their jigsaw icon in a more dynamic, creative way?
We created a new look and feel which brings its research-based focus to the fore in an upbeat and positive way and actually celebrates the somewhat underplayed jigsaw piece as more of a metaphor for togetherness and knowledge sharing.
The redrawn logo has a deliberately more human quality, and highlights patients condition in a modest but powerful way using the negative space within a single jigsaw piece. The logo 'lock-up' has been simplified to bring a real clarity to the charities name and also to accommodate an emotive new strapline "Research that saves lives". Two modern typefaces were chosen to offer a more contemporary nature to the typography and help articulate both the scientific and fundraising work which Campaign does on a day-to-day basis. A bolder illustrative style has been introduced to amplify the nature of how Campaign works collaboratively and is now an integral element to the new brands longevity. The new colour palette was developed to help Campaign emphasis their passionate and energetic "overcome and outlive" mentality, and create a more vibrant, resourceful feel to all their communications.
Along with Vincent Design, we are very much look forward to helping Campaign mobilise the brightest minds and biggest hearts to drive world-class Breast Cancer research over the coming months and years.
Mischa Accesories design, source and import a wide range of accessories for some of Australia's most prominent fashion houses. Uniquely, they offer a complete service, designing and producing a wide range of male and female bags. They pride themselves on the overall quality of the range, a friendly service and a keen attention to detail.
We developed a complete visual and verbal identity that showcases both product and personality.
Commercial Property Guide is Australia's newest listing destination. The website was created specifically for the commercial real estate industry by experts in the commercial space.
We developed the brand identity, the website design and the idea for the on-line directory, which we named 'ed'. We worked with the internal digital team to create a look and feel that conveyed both the simplicity and function of the site.
We were honoured to be invited to contribute to the Australian Graphic Design Association's new identity launch. Leading designers from the region were asked to respond, in the form of a poster, to the question of 'What can Australian design do?'. The set of posters were then showcased in each state at the actual launch event. Nice to be involved, exciting times for AGDA #oneagda
We were asked to develop a new brand identity system for the Eclipse Early Education Group. Formed in 2012, the founders of Eclipse have decades of experience in childcare and have a real desire to give every child the best possible learning experience available.
We wanted to create an identity that reflected both the objectives and shared values of the business. The building blocks represent the idea of learning and growth, whilst the imagery of children represent the overall experience. The logo type is hand-drawn and intentionally child-like, complemented by colours that are soft and natural. By using the elements in a variety of combinations it's possible to change the overall tone of the identity from one that is more corporate, to one that is playful child-like.
Eclipse has four centres throughout Victoria, with another three planned in the next twelve months.
St Kilda is one of Melbourne's most colourful and well-known suburbs. The Triangle site is at the heart of this iconic suburb and is currently used as a large car park next to the Palais Theatre. In 2007 Port Philip Council signed an agreement to develop this site into a mixed purpose site. However, community opposition and heated public debate around its use led to a decision to halt any development of this site. The objective of this project is to restart the conversation with the community around the future of the site and to develop a shared vision.
The campaign aimed to encourage residents to have a say about the future of the site. The logo uses the shape of the actual site to create a visual megaphone, whilst the colour palette and overall aesthetic is purposefully stripped back to stand out in the busy St Kilda environment.
We were approached to develop a brand for a new range of muesli. The product was born in the kitchen of Jim Stynes during his ongoing battle with cancer. He switched to a diet of raw foods, essentially unprocessed super foods with a very high nutritional value to keep the body and mind healthy. The muesli is an all natural product, made from the finest ingredients, with no fancy processes or manufacturing shortcuts that strip out the goodness.
Working closely with Jim, Sam Stynes and business partner Hugh, we developed and delivered the brand strategy, the name, the tone of voice, the look and feel of the packaging and all other communication material for both Jimbo and the parent company, Non Fiction Foods. So far Jimbo has featured on the 7PM Project, 3AW and the Channel 9 News and is now available in a good health food store near you.
It's a hot day, peaking in the high thirties. You're in the shade, but still feel rather hot. Some ice cold refreshment wouldn't go a miss. You're over the usual ice-block-lolly-pop and really want something different. Something that doesn't contain preservatives, half a bowl of sugar or other nasties. Something that wasn't made by 'the thousand' in a factory hundreds of miles away. Something that is healthy, all natural and lovingly handmade using the freshest, sweetest seasonal fruit and produce. If you live in Sydney, you're in luck.
Liana Raine is a refreshingly new alternative, the perfect treat for those blistering summer days. Founded by sisters Aja (Liana) and Bianca (Raine), they hand-make a range of beautiful 'Artisan Pops'. The sublime flavours range from 'Blueberry Basil' and 'Strawberry Mint', through to the more adventurous 'Pineapple, Chilli (served with salt)' and 'Lychee, Orange with Cardamon'. For the adults they also offer an alcoholic range called 'Poptails', the 'Passionfruit, Honey & Botrytis Semillion' is our favorite.
Over the last three years we've worked closely with Aja and Bianca helping them define and tell the Liana Raine story.
Courthouse Rocks is a music night held in a small Yorkshire town on the first week of every month. The night features up and coming acts usually only seen in cities around the UK. We were asked to develop the identity and an associated marketing material that could be used to 'get bums on seats' and get potential acts interested in playing.
The idea for the logo came from the music and the venue - the graphical lines on sheet music and the bars on the cells of the old courthouse, now the venue. We developed an initial campaign idea based on the notion of seeing bands locally rather than having to travel miles - Rock Local. This idea is reinforced through the imagery - the town in days gone by and dynamic portraits of local characters.
Lite & Healthy is a 100% natural superfood shake packed with amazing natural and healthy ingredients.
Our solution goes against the majority of the category, which usually feature 'half-naked tangerine-coloured individuals' - anything but natural. We made the ingredients the focus of the visual and verbal narrative, creating a real point of difference from the start.
Geho is an events and music promotions company based in the North of England. They specialise in live music events and club nights and are committed to showcasing the best of local, national and international acts.
We've worked with Geho over the course of the last 2 years, defining the overall idea for the brand and ensuring each piece of communication has the ability to be both unique and fit visually within the Geho set. These posters illustrate the diversity of each artist and the flexibility of the overall design system.
In 2012 we were fortunate enough to pick up two awards at the AGDA Australian Design Biennale - click here and here
The Ajombi Group is the holding company for a number of leading market research businesses based in Australia, Canada and the United States.
The task was to create a simple identity that reflected the origins of the Ajombi business name (the original four family members), the people focused culture of the organisation and the interaction of the separate business units.
The D&AD flag was sent to an international selection of 500 leading creatives. The resulting collection of images were used throughout the prestigious awards annual and in a variety of related communication materials.
Partnering with Sue Mould we produced a variety of images that used Melbourne as a backdrop. By using aspects of the city as a frame for the flag, the images we produced past comment on aspects of our society - from the abandoned shopping trolley hinting at the fickle nature of consumerism, through to self reflective super hero wondering what the future may hold. We were honoured to be involved and enjoyed a spontaneous few days producing the concepts and subsequent imagery.
Spa Country is the elegant lifestyle group located in the Daylesford and the Macedon Ranges, the Australian spa and wellbeing capital. The group represents eight of the most luxurious businesses within the area: Peppers Mineral Springs Retreats, Villa Parma, Mineral Spa, Mineral Spa Villas, Dayget Retreats, The Birch Club, The Birch Estate and the famous Spring Creek Mineral Water. We were asked to develop an identity that could be used to market this unique group of businesses.
The natural beauty of the area, the magnificently restored historical architecture, the luxurious day spa and the ambience of pure glamour were all used as inspiration for the look and feel. The typography is a gentle juxtaposition of old and new, the colours are soft and elegant, allowing the natural characteristics of the businesses to shine through. The identity was then applied to a range of printed collateral, marketing material website.
Money3 are an ASX listed financial services company. We partnered with Money3 to define what they stand for and tell a relevant and compelling story. As a business they pride themselves on actually caring and not encouraging people to take on debt they can't manage. The central idea for the identity came from this notion of doing a good turn, genuinely helping and advising people how to get into a better financial situation.

Saturday, July 29, 2006 - Page updated at 12:00 AM Inbox Don't think hard about spam, just delete itSpecial to The Seattle Times I have what can only be described as a naive view of the e-mail ecosystem. Why else would I so readily accept the idea that you should think before reporting a message as spam, because to award such a designation to an undeserving message is to essentially cast a vote against an undeserving small business (Inbox, July 22, 2006)? Why would I ever characterize this mislabeling as "irresponsible," if I were not under the spell of a marketing sympathizer? Perhaps it was because I really wished this to be so. I've always wanted to share the digital playground with everyone who will follow the rules. For this reason, I've sought rules that marketers could follow, so they could ply their trade and not annoy the rest of us. These rules would work under a neatly ordered system, perhaps one that charged admission from the start and made it unappealing for a scam artist to send out a million false messages at a time. In fact, life online is excessively messy. There are no real rules in this particular jungle. It's too late to change, even if we wanted to: It's reminiscent of the notion that democracy is the worst form of government except for the alternative. My disenchantment with the idea of determining what to report and what to delete preceded the reader mail that gently outlined the idea's faults. After writing that column, I sought to immediately implement the plan, but was thwarted. Instead of a fast decision, it required mulling over the source and purpose of the mail, determining if the sender was a legitimate businessperson and then looking for the Unsubscribe button. (There was no ambivalence about wanting these messages gone forever.) It didn't take long to develop a new rule: If the message was not obvious spam (physical enhancements, trips to Nigeria), I would select Unsubscribe; but only if the option was clearly visible. This would often require me typing my address into a little box. Otherwise I would report the message as spam. But this turned into a waste of time. I was now spending 20 seconds on what was once an instantaneous decision. Then, the question from several readers: If you respond to spam, doesn't this let the sender know you are a "live one" and therefore increase the spam? For this I went to the original source, Stefan Pollard, director of consulting services at Email Labs. He said this used to be true, but a "legitimate" marketer (one that would be unfairly tarred by the spam brush) would offer several ways to unsubscribe. He also cautioned against typing in my address to an unbranded page, because this could be part of an e-mail harvesting process. So all of a sudden this "responsibility" has become way too complicated, and dangerous. I had already unsubscribed to several lists and typed in my address. So instead of acting responsible, I ended up wasting time and increasing the stress (and perhaps spam) level. Email Labs has several guidelines for "best practices" e-mail marketing, viewable at www.emaillabs.com/articles/email_articles/email_best_practices_audit.html.
So we have the "new" new rule: If a sender's veracity and legitimacy isn't immediately obvious, it feels right to just call it spam. Final note: Several POP 3 users wrote in to ask where to find the Report Spam button in Outlook. It's not there, as the feature is only available on Web mail systems. POP 3 programs move everything they detect as spam to a special folder, but it's up to the user to register a complaint. If you have questions or suggestions for Charles Bermant, you can contact him by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com. Type Inbox in the subject field.

The present value of an annuity is the current value of that plan if you take the money now, instead of allowing it to continue providing periodic payments, as originally intended. The amount will always be less than the original investment.
Would you take a lump-sum payment of $5,000 now or divide it into five yearly payments of $1,000?
Most people would take the money now. Why? Because money in your hand now can be invested and allowed to earn interest, while any stream of money received in future payments is subject to inflation.
The present value of your annuity is the future value with discounts applied to show its current value as if that amount existed today.
When it comes to selling annuity payments, having money in your pocket allows you to make large purchases now or reallocate finances that could possibly generate greater returns through other investment vehicles.
Get a quick, competitive and easy quote in minutes!
Before you make a decision to sell your annuity, you should evaluate what your money is worth right now.
For example, a $5,000 annuity that provides you with five annual payments of $1,000 at 6 percent interest. The present value of that annuity would be $4,210.20.
Let's take a few moments to go through the math in determining that amount. First, figure your cash flow period or dollar amount of payments received (C), interest rate (i) and number of periodic payments (n).
Next, use this formula to determine present value of your annuity:
Present Value of Annuity = C x [1-[1/(1+i)n]]/i
Present Value of Annuity = $1,000 x [1-[1/(1+0.06)5]]/0.06
=$1,000 x [1-[1/(1.338)]]/0.06
=$1,000 x [1-[0.7474]]/0.06
=$1,000 x [4.2102]
Present Value of Annuity = $4,210.20.
Looking at the present value of your annuity, you may notice that you are receiving less than you originally contributed.
While an annuity provides the guarantee of a specific payment amount, unless you figure interest adjustments in your annuity, you may lose the value on the money you invested as time goes by.
If your annuity payments stay the same throughout retirement, and you are relying solely on this income base in the future, it is likely the quality of your lifestyle will decline in retirement.
Are you planning to change your lifestyle if your future income makes regular living expenses or certain luxuries unaffordable? When facing the increased costs of medical care as you age, it will be necessary to adjust your regular budget.
No. The amount you receive for selling your annuity payments is based on factors such as how many of your payments you have left, how many payments you intend to sell, the amount you receive in each payment and the competitive market of purchasing annuity payments.
If you surrender your annuity to the insurance company that issued it, then you will be subjected to a fee based on the original contract.
The present value of your annuity just gives you an idea of what your annuity is worth in the future with today's dollars.
Annuity valuation often comes into play when determining the suitability of court settlements, taxes on states lottery jackpots, ensuring pensions are equitable distributions, and looking at an annuity contract for estate tax purposes.
Present value calculations are helpful for mortgages, loans, sinking funds, bonds and other investments. When determining where to invest your money, the time value of money is a key determiner of worth.
For example, you can utilize principals of present value to determine whether or not you will accept your company's pension or take a lump sum now.
It can also be applied in a lawsuit where a structured settlement was intended to resolve a case. The plaintiff will accept a settlement of a lower value in a lump sum using present and future values (how much you will have in the future with a given rate of return) to determine that payment is fair.
Keep in mind this accounting concept doesn't just relate to structured settlements and single premium indexed annuities, but also any series of fixed regular payments over a specified time period.

What is the best line from Herbalife CEO Michael Johnson's amazingly hostile call with CNBC this afternoon, in which he maintained that Bill Ackman is wrong that Herbalife is a pyramid scheme? I think the two leading contenders are:
- "Mr. Ackman's proposition that the United States would be better when Herbalife is gone? The United States will be better when Bill Ackman is gone."
- "Our customers are sometimes called distributors. That's the only confusion that we have."
Oh that's the only confusion is it? That's … confusing. "You're a pyramid scheme; you only sell products to your distributors." "No we're not, we sell real products to real customers." "Oh." "But we call the customers distributors." I'm looking forward to a confusing exchange of press releases.1
Johnson's claim is that the whole presentation, and the leak thereof to CNBC, are about market manipulation: "an extraordinary number of puts" on HLF are due to expire this Friday, he claims, and Ackman's presentation tomorrow is designed to basically juice those puts going into expiry (and, one might add, year-end).
