The hidden cost of your unpaid interns
Blog Entry:
April 23, 2013 4:30 AM | Author: JOE BRENNAN
Joe Brennan
Joe Brennan is an associate in the Cleveland office of
Fisher & Phillips
, in all areas of labor and employment law.
As summer approaches, many organizations are preparing to hire summer interns. And while internships are typically viewed as a way for college students to gain experience and companies to benefit from their assistance, many questions focused on compensation and harassment arise surrounding their hiring. Let's take a look at the issues that may arise.
Interns and the Fair Labor Standards Act
The primary issue employers face with respect to interns is whether an intern is entitled to either minimum wage or even overtime compensation. The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), the federal law governing overtime and minimum wage, rules apply only to "employees" but, unfortunately, the FLSA's definitions are vague in determining whether "interns" are, in fact, employees. The Act simply defines an "employee" as "any individual employed by an employer."
Due to this ambiguity, the Department of Labor (DOL) has interpreted the language of the FLSA to carve out a six-factor test for determining when interns must be paid federal minimum wage and overtime:
1. The internship, even though it includes actual operation of the facilities of the employer, is similar to training that would be given in an education environment;
2. The internship and training is for the benefit of the intern;
3. The intern does not displace regular employees, but works under close supervision of existing staff;
4. The employer that provides the training is for the benefit of the intern;
5. The intern is not necessarily entitled to a job at the conclusion of the internship; and
6. The employer and the intern understand that the intern is not entitled to wages for the time spent in the internship.
All six factors must be met for the intern to be exempt from the FLSA's requirements.
Notably, the Sixth Circuit Court, which covers Ohio, does not adhere to the DOL's test. Instead it states that "the proper approach for determining whether an employment relationship exists in the context of a training or learning situation is to ascertain which party derives the primary benefit from the relationship." This means if the company derives the greater benefit vis-à-vis the value of the "work" performed by the intern, then its more likely the intern is actually an "employee." On the other hand, if the intern obtains the greater benefit vis-à-vis the value of the learning/training provided by the company, the more likely he or she is not an "employee."
Interns and Federal Employment Laws
A lesser, but nevertheless important, consideration regarding a company's use of interns, is whether interns are entitled to the protections of the federal anti-discrimination statutes, including Title VII (prohibiting race, gender, religious, color discrimination), the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, and the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Generally speaking, courts, in determining whether employment laws protect interns, focus on whether or not an intern derives a significant economic benefit from the company. The Sixth Circuit court, which governs Ohio, states that a 13-factor employee test should be used for determining "employee" status under the federal employment laws. Yet, the first factor, the putative employer's right to control the manner and means by which the product is accomplished, is tended to be viewed be the most important.
The Potential Consequences
Employers who are found to have violated the FLSA by failing to pay an employee must generally pay all wages owed (including time and one half for overtime) for the past three years plus 100% of the wages owed as an additional penalty. In addition, the employer can be required to pay the plaintiff's attorney's fees.
Furthermore, if the intern is subject to federal employment laws, which looks more and more likely, employers can face liability for harassment or discrimination claims.
How Can Employer's Protect Themselves?
At a minimum, organizations should review their internship programs, or contact legal counsel to assist in developing an internship program, to ensure that interns are offered an educational and training experience.
With regards to avoiding FLSA pitfalls, companies should consider the following tips:
• Have a written and signed understanding that the internship is unpaid
• Prepare specific written goals, focusing on training and experience for the intern
• Rotate interns through different departments and tasks
• Avoid long periods of independent work performed by an intern
• Do not bring on interns in lieu of hiring employees
• Require the intern to complete a weekly worksheet indicating what training and education has been achieved
• Ensure that interns are working under close supervision of one or more supervisors
To minimize potential employment law issues – particularly for jurisdictions in the Sixth Circuit – companies should be mindful to treat all interns with the same respect, fairness and equality afforded to all employees. Providing these interns with a modified "handbook" that includes basic equal employment and harassment reporting procedures is critical in limited potential liability. Affording everyone the same quality treatment, regardless of whether they are or are not on payroll, is the best way to avoid the unexpected harassment or discrimination lawsuit.

It's user-hostile and unworkable.The difference is that my "version" does not require you to "surrender" to me or be executed.
Don't take this as an absolute endorsement of Microsoft's approach. I'd prefer that a neutral third party be in charge of handling signatures. But nobody's been willing to spend the millions of dollars that would be required for that to happen, and so it hasn't.

Blog Entry:
November 21, 2012 10:00 AM | Author: SCOTT SUTTELL
If you're in the office today, you're probably eager to get out, so let's make this quick:
There are some pretty remarkable numbers in
New York Times
op-ed piece
about the decline in the number of flights at many of the nation's airports.
"Between 2007 and 2012, airlines cut the number of domestic passenger flights by 14 percent, according to the Department of Transportation — with the biggest drops occurring at midsize and smaller regional airports," writes Clifford Winston, a senior fellow in economic studies at the
Brookings Institution
. "The five heartland hubs of Cincinnati, Cleveland, Memphis, Pittsburgh and St. Louis have lost a stunning 40 percent of their scheduled flights."
The reason?
"Airlines have decided that the best way to earn a healthy return on their investment is to maintain tight discipline on capacity," Mr. Winston writes. "That's a fancy way of saying they want their planes to fly as full as sardine cans. And the way they've been accomplishing this is by concentrating service on the big domestic and international markets and by cutting flights in smaller, less traveled ones."
Former GE CEO Jack Welch's
Twitter paranoia
about the "Chicago guys" cooking the jobs numbers has helped push him back into the national spotlight, with an upcoming
cover story
about his "unretirement" in
Bloomberg Businessweek
Among the details in the long story: Mr. Welch and his mistress-turned-wife, Suzy, invested $2 million alongside online educational entrepreneur Michael Clifford in the
Jack Welch Management Institute
at Chancellor University in Cleveland.
Mr. Clifford describes Jack and Suzy as "totally focused and totally passionate" about the startup. "Suzy was the ball bearing that made it happen," he says.
Mr. Welch ultimately "moved his institute to a larger, publicly traded for-profit college with a better reputation called Strayer University, in Herndon, Va.," according to the story. "Strayer agreed to pay $7 million to Chancellor to buy the Jack Welch Management Institute, with 40 percent of the funds contributed by Welch. Strayer also entered a licensing agreement with Welch and agreed to pay him a royalty for use of the curriculum he and Suzy had designed."
The institute, which targets midlevel executives willing to pony up $30,960 for 12 courses leading to an executive MBA, has yet to turn a profit.
Cleveland restaurateur/food truck entrepreneur
Chris Hodgson
is featured in
USA Today
in which social media made a material difference in people's lives.
The newspaper notes that Mr. Hodgson was able to recover his stolen food truck last month when he put out a digital APB on Twitter.
"I sent out one tweet and said, 'Food truck thief, I'm gonna find you! If anyone sees the truck, please let us know.' Within about 30 minutes, we had one of our fans e-mail a picture of it and told us where he had seen it."
Mr. Hodgson, 26, tells
USA Today
that his business has been able to boom because his more than 11,000 Twitter followers (spread over three accounts) are able to follow his food trucks wherever they go.
"In Cleveland, it wasn't a big foodie scene, there's not a lot of other trucks, and so there really was no way to spread the word about who we were other than Twitter and keep people posted on our location," he says. "Twitter became our lifeline to start our business and really, really I give Twitter and Facebook credit for launching our career into food trucks, and now we have seven restaurants and a catering company in just a very short amount of time."
Looking to buy a cheap house? Youngstown's the place to go, according to
this data set
from CNNMoney.com, based on third-quarter figures from the National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo Housing Opportunity Index.
The index ranks U.S. metro areas based on a combination of low prices and competitive wages.
Youngstown is ranked as the second-most affordable market, with a median home price of $82,000 and median income of $55,700 producing an estimated 92.9% of homes considered "affordable" for Youngstown residents.
Only Ogden, Utah, ranks as a more affordable place to own a piece of the American dream. (Buying a home still is considered part of the American dream, right?)
A book based on an exhibition at the
Cleveland Museum of Art
lands on
New York Times
of the best art books of 2012.
"Wari: Lords of the Ancient Andes"
was produced in conjunction with a show of the same title running through Jan. 6 at the Cleveland museum. (It will travel to the Museum of Art/Fort Lauderdale in Florida and the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth.)
"Overseen by Susan E. Bergh, organizer of the exhibition and a curator at the Cleveland museum, this lavishly illustrated, often breathtakingly beautiful book pulls together essays by more than a dozen scholars,"
The Times
says. "Historical and geographical contexts are detailed, and there are essays covering architecture, religious deities and rituals, textiles and feather work, sculpture, and inlaid and metal ornaments. For a sense of the revelations in store, consider the full-page reproduction, on Page 144, of a Wari urn decorated with delicate and varied plant forms that presages American and European folk art motifs by several hundred years."
Let's go from high culture to low culture.
When we write about Jim Brown here at
, it's usually in the context of his complicated relationship with the Cleveland Browns.
But some of us in the office are fans of older movies, so Mr. Brown isn't just a football player. He also had an eccentric movie career, and
The Wall Street Journal
that some of his crazier career choices are part of a new show, "William Lustig Presents: A Tribute to the Warner Archive," at the Anthology Film Archives in New York.
The Journal
For raw action enthusiasts, there's also a mini-festival of blaxploitation hero Jim Brown's caper flicks, including "Dark of the Sun," "The Split" and "The Slams." And for a softer side of the former Cleveland Browns running back, "The Grasshopper" is a real change of pace. He's a pit stop in the free-spirited life of Christine (Jacqueline Bissett), an innocent young British Columbian who comes to California with dreams of love, only to wind up as a Las Vegas prostitute—although she doesn't seem all that upset about it. Because … hey, man, it's the '60s. The film is sprinkled with bids at social relevance (homosexuals, psychedelic rock bands, interracial marriage, pot smoking) and maudlin pop ballads.

Well what do you think will happen to you if you tell your parents?
Cos the rule of thumb I would say is if it leads to violence or to any kinds of threats or mistreatment or a general increase in trouble don't do it. 4 years and you'll be 18 and can be much more independant.
However I want to encourage you so on the other hand if you can go to them and say "I don't want to get confirmed." and answer the inevitable "why" with 'I've thought about it a lot and I don't believe in god' and give your reasons for why, and say I'm only 14, I know but I don't want this and I hope you can support my decision because I don't want to do something dishonestly.
Don't worry about the friends of friends. I don't want you to loose them but at the same time what is more important their feelings or yours?
Let us know how it goes....
What to do ? well do the research, keep exploring, and let your parents see that you are actively thinking about their beliefs. They will think that the research is brining you 'closer to god', you will get more evidence to move away....
Also if they ask, you could use the logic that as you are uncertain it would be hypocritical to make a public declaration one way or another (assuming you havent said outright that you are an athiest.).
The 'confused' teenager is easier for them to explain to their peers than an athiest, so let them take that option for a while. Dont forget that your unbelief is not just about you, it is also about your parents status as good parents who produce good little christian children.
I am almost 27 and I still have not come out as an atheist to most people. Unless I think I can use reason to at least influence someone's mind about theism for their personal benefit, I usually just let people assume I am a Christian or whatever. Of course, if people ask me my beliefs, then they have opened up the conversation to a lot then. I wish it was not this way, but in the Deep South it's a matter of adaptation and survival. Telling my parents that I am an atheist will not influence their beliefs, it will not help them and in fact it will do them unnecessary emotional harm. So on that end, you have to be responsible.
But I also believe in being honest. I think you should tell your parents you do not want to go through this ritual (but like the poster before, only if it will not cause you any harm, and if that's the case then you should consider contacting your local child welfare agency if the harm can be serious!). Whether or not you give them the details about your atheism is up to you, perhaps you could just sum it up by saying that you want to give it more time to think about or that you do not feel that you meet the level of commitment required to proceed with the ritual. Or you can just spill your guts and tell them what the poster above said. At any rate, I'd give yourself as much time as possible to think about how to proceed.
I'm open with my friends about my atheism. And if a theist friend of mine decides to debate the issue with me, I mercilessly argue the case. I guess that sort of makes me a closeted evangelical atheist. But I see no reason to tell my parents the whole story. They know I don't go to church and perhaps they can read between the lines. And when a well-meaning soul invites me to church, I thank them for the invitation and just explain that I have other obligations around that time. If they press the issue then I allow myself to be a militant disbeliever with them. Oh and if they are some random evangelical I don't know personally, I hit them with reason as hard as they can be hit with it before they give up and leave.
So think of the possible consequences of your actions. Be honest, but be responsible.

...the trailer for the film. Make sure you watch it in 1080, as youtube compresses and darkens footage most times.
AS:VS (short specs) - Evan Shandling is a college student soon to graduate. During semester/holiday break, he decides to do his thesis film - this film will be the bulk of his final grade. Evan decides to travel to rural Northern Mississippi and document a small business struggling to survive in today's current failing economy. To further exploit his theme, Evan chooses a business that really shouldn't have to make cutbacks at all - an emergency response team called, AS:VS - At Stake: Vampire Solutions.
Very much like shows such as Axe Men or Deadliest Catch, this film comes across in a verite' style of interviews, expose's in and around town and also following the AS:VS team on the job. It's a bit of a social commentary but not preachy at all. It's quite a dark comedy, but it's not insulting for any audience, as plausibility stays firm. Everything you know about vampire mythology is revised and grounded into science and medicine for realism that has long been lacking. Most of all, it is very much about people dealing with and surviving a growing epidemic. Far too long have vampires not been scary. They always are so up front in our faces, made to be cool, superheroes, we like them or want to be just like them. I changed all of that by simply taking them out of the limelight and putting them back into the shadows - talked up and built up through regular people fearful of their lives. I respectfully made them monsters again while also creating a fun experience of a tale...one that already has the same director and production crew requesting a follow up. What's great is that I'm fully ready to do so, and it shouldn't disappoint. In fact, it's going to be even more intense.
I wish that I could reveal set photos of the vampires and such, but the current plan for promotion is to hold back on those. What you will be able to see (there are 5 online so far) are some makeshift podcasts by the AS:VS team answering random folks' questions. You can find them at the film (business) website, or you can simply find them on youtube by searching " ASVS webcast " specifically. You will also start to see several promo pictures soon, too. I will try to post all that I can in this thread as well.
I can't wait for you all to see the film.

The results: We absolutely have a great film on our hands. I knew that most wouldn't know what exactly to expect, as the film is more of a dark comedy (not at all a gorefest, though gore is there in parts). Everyone laughed as intended throughout the film, applauded, oohs-ahhs and then applauded even more at the end. I don't think I've ever had the chills like that before...definitely not for a good reason...haha.
So..going forward, I say to keep your ears peeled about AS:VS - At Stake: Vampire Solutions. I think we may well be making some noise, decent fest showings and should still make it into some decent conventions for free screenings. I hope it makes it into several regions to screen because I really want everyone to get a chance at seeing it (of course, dvd will happen anyway). I think everyone will enjoy the world I created in the film...and I think you'll want the eventual follow up film(s) that we are already asked to outline (which is the aspect of all this that is really blowing my mind right now...and I am so very ready to get going).
Also - I know that I haven't been to the forum so much in a consistent pattern, but I promise you that this and several other films I'm doing FX for are the reason why. I will always be a member here and will never stop coming around. I hold you all in high regards...as friends...as peers...as equals. Just know that only busy-work will keep me away. Oh, and no matter what happens...fortune or whatever...I'm always approachable. Hell, I want to meet all of you guys more than anyone may ever want to meet me...haha. "Friends" is how you get further along in anything per life, and it's sad that some folks can't figure that out. I will never forget that...never! You guys rule.

Hey, Gang. We are currently locking the contract to use a known song in the film, and before we've even received a single yay or nay per any of the festivals we've submitted to...we are already about to have a handful of conference calls for distribution purposes, both domestic and overseas - finding out that the Eastern Block of Europe isn't just one sale - France, Germany, UK, Spain and then China, Japan, Australia are each their own distribution deals individually. I enjoy learning the business side of it more than I thought, so it's pretty cool. Oh, and the imdb credits for the film are finally trickling up/into place. They definitely take their time confirming and then listing things.
Also, I told you guys that I'd be scarce due to my first, Union film doing FX. We are just now at the halfway point of filming. Gatlinburg, TN was a real stint of work, too. It was hot, we were bug food if we didn't spray or dress well enough, but at the same time, it was beautiful locations. I must also add that filming with the Red Cam...geez...it makes all of my FX look like it belongs in the Louvre' in France or something. That Cam is freaking amazing. I told the primary actress about this website, too. Hopefully she'll end up a fan or on the site eventually. She was the lead actress in Automaton Transfusion, she dropped out for a bit and is now back to acting full time again. She's just done bit parts for TCM 3D and Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter. According to her, TCM 3D sets are separating the actors 24/7 from Gunnar Hansen (Leatherface) except only for when they are shooting scenes together...something about his new, disturbing look and creating psychological tension to get much better effects onscreen. The film sounds like it may surprise us all if not just in technique of direction alone.
I'll try to get more news and hopefully be back to the site more frequently by mid-September.

In other news, we are now filming the follow-up film. We won't rush to do a third one afterwards, though. We've all agreed to that. There was so much more to tell and more to prove that the first film couldn't all fit in, so the second film was obvious for us to go ahead and do.
Posted 31 January 2012 - 08:33 PM
Here's a link to the song - My link - the band was formed just after the band HUM broke up. The same frontman, Matt Talbott continued on with his brand of thick guitar, slightly spacey, groove-heavy songwriting. This particular song builds just right and kicks ass just right. It really does make the film's climax emotionally and tonally just right.

The Book of Wireless by John Ross is an answer to the problem of learning about wireless networking. With the wide spread use of Wireless networks today anyone with a computer should at least know the basics of wireless. Also, with the wireless networking, users need to know how to protect themselves from wireless networking attacks.
Ross's book provides a general but detailed look at all parts of wireless on all different platforms and environment. The reader will gain an understanding of all parts of wireless networking, from physical layer to the application layer of networking with examples of setting up their own wireless network. The author explains why users need to take measures in securing their wireless networks. This book is intended for reader's who want to learn more about wireless networking. Those who are thinking about using wireless to the user who has already setup a home wireless network will find this book useful.
Review Summary:
The first three chapters in the The Book of Wireless provides the reader with an introduction to networking and wireless. The author talks about the OSI Model, physical, data link, network, transport, session, presentation, and application layers. These chapters would be a good introduction to any computer networking class. It gives the reader the background information of how wireless networking works.
Chapters four and five look at the hardware used in networking and how-to setup a home or office WI-FI network. If you need to quickly setup a wireless network theses are the chapters for you. The author does a good job at explaining the different configuration options which the user has to choose from. This allows the user to choose which networking setup will work best for that particular user.
Chapters six through eight focuses on ways of connecting to an access point with Windows, Mac, Linux or Unix. The author teaches the user how to use the different wireless tools out there no matter which operating system you use. I am happy to see a chapter on Linux where the author explains everything to the Linux user everything, which they need to connect to any wireless network. The author even explains the wireless device drive Linux users will need.
Chapter 9 brings to light all the details of setting up a wireless network. The reader will learn how to setup an access point and have a greater understanding of the different technologies used here. The author even goes into detail on how the user can setup a neighborhood network. An important step in setting up any wireless is security and the author states some of the different methods of increasing your wireless security when setting up a wireless access point.
Chapter 12 which I believe is the most important chapter in wireless networking is wireless network security. The author explains the differences between the different methods of increasing a wireless network. I liked how the author explains why users should use one method over another. This chapter is for any user that is wondering what are the differences between WEP and WPA and which one they should use. The author even goes into detail about how to use the firewall on your router to increase your network security and health. This chapter is a must read for anyone who has a wireless network.
Chapter 17 is for the user that is in charge of setting up their wireless network and has found a problem with it. The author goes into detail some of the common problems the user may come across.
In conclusion, if you or anyone you know has a wireless network or is planning on setting up one, The Book of Wireless is a valuable resource to read. You will gain a better understanding of wireless networking. No matter which operating system you are using, you will be able to connect and setup a secure wireless network in no time.

Friday, May 31, 2013
Bon Jovi has just announced 14 new North American tour dates for this summer and fall. Vintage Vinyl News reported that Bon Jovi gave up their fee for their June 27th concert in Madrid, Spain so that their fans could afford to be able to see the band in the midst of a particularly rough financial climate. Jon Bon Jovi told the Spanish paper, El Mundo, that originally Spain wasn't on the tour itinerary: "We did a study and we saw that due to the economic situation Spain wasn't going to be on the roadmap. But I didn't want to leave out fans from a country I love that has treated me well for 30 years."

Log on to Pollstar.com for full Bon Jovi tour itinerary.
Billy Joel drew upon his high school years in Levittown, New York for his 1977 classic from The Stranger, "Scenes From An Italian Restaurant," and explained the song's genesis during his appearance on Inside The Actors Studio: "That song started out, the middle part was called 'The Ballad Of Brenda And Eddie.' The thing I was trying to get across, and I'm sure we all know, there were people who peaked a little too early in life. When we were in high school, there were the people we thought were so cool -- I thought, 'Man, I wish I was that guy!' With a perfect pompadour, he always had great clothes, he always had the coolest shoes, he always went out with the coolest girl. And then I saw him at the 10 year reunion, and this guy was like a caved-in ashtray. In high school, it was so important to be with the right crowd -- in my era, maybe it's the same in this era, I'm assuming there's a certain amount of this that still goes on. But they were my heroes, these people. But then I said -- 'that's not enough.'"
The Top 10 Billy Joel Albums, according to Rolling Stone readers are:
1. The Stranger (1977)
2. Glass Houses (1980)
3. 52nd Street (1978)
4. Turnstiles (1976)
5. The Nylon Curtain (1982)
6. Songs In The Attic (1981)
7. An Innocent Man (1983)
8. Piano Man (1973)
9. Storm Front (1989)
10. River Of Dreams (1993)
Coming on September 17th, is Elvis Costello's first studio team-up with the Roots. The new collection, called, Wise Up Ghost, was co-produced by Costello, Roots drummer Questlove Thompson, and the band's longtime associate, Steven Mandel. The album will be released on the Blue Note imprint. The album is Costello's followup to 2010's Americana-tinged, National Ransom. (USA Today)
Elvis Costello told us that even after all these years, the best songs still seem to come out of thin air: "I think you have to accept the spontaneous element in it that you can't really provide for -- you can't really predict. If you knew when it was going to come up on you, you'd do it all day long. You can church out the hits. But that isn't the way it works. You don't know when you'll be moved to write a song. I mean you can force yourself to write music, but I don't know that it would be the most thrilling stuff."

The Dengue Laboratory Network of the Americas (RELDA) is a key component of the IMS-dengue for strengthening the scientific and technical capabilities of laboratories to support national dengue prevention and control programs. The network was created in2008 , which includes a framework for action in the countries to standardize laboratory protocols for dengue diagnosis, train human resources from the national reference laboratories, introduce a regional research agenda and quality management system in network laboratories, and integrate the available scientific and technical capabilities in the Region to ensure a timely response to dengue outbreaks and epidemics and regional contingencies.
General Objective
RELDA's objective is to strengthen the scientific and technical capabilities of the Region's laboratories in order to provide timely, quality epidemiological surveillance and response to dengue outbreaks in support of national programs for the prevention and control of dengue and other viral diseases.
Expected Results
- Standardized laboratory protocols for dengue diagnosis.
- Standardized reagents and regionally evaluated, nationally validated commercial kits.
- Human resources at national reference laboratories trained to meet identified needs.
- Implementation of a research agenda based on the priority areas identified.
- Implementation of a quality management system in network laboratories that includes standard operating procedures (SOP) and a code of ethics; routine use of standard and special biosafety procedures; participation in the external evaluation program through proficiency panels and vertical and horizontal audits.
- All available scientific and technical capabilities in the Region integrated to facilitate a timely response to dengue outbreaks or epidemics and contingencies.
Dengue is a growing public health problem worldwide, particularly in the Americas. As part of the PAHO/WHO effort to tackle this challenge through a new, integrated work model that includes health promotion and the search for new linkages, the Ministers of Health of the Americas adopted Resolutions CD43.R4 and CD44.R9 during the Directing Councils of 2001 and 2003, respectively. The latter resolution established the Integrated Management Strategy for Dengue Prevention and Control (IMS-dengue) as an area for PAHO/WHO technical cooperation to the Member States.
More recently, during the 27th Pan American Sanitary Conference, the Ministers adopted CSP27.R15, urging the countries to implement national strategies and technical cooperation to reduce the social, economic, and political burden that dengue represents.
Laboratories in the IMS-dengue
Laboratories are a key component of the Integrated Management Strategy for Dengue Prevention and Control. Strengthening the PAHO/WHO Collaborating Centers and national reference laboratories for dengue diagnosis through information exchange and technology transfer among them is a strategic intervention. PAHO/WHO considers it a priority to strengthen national laboratories, upgrade skills, and promote a quality management system to guarantee good virological and epidemiological surveillance of dengue and the standardization of reporting criteria. Moreover, dengue control will depend on the potential findings of interdisciplinary research and intervention studies, as well as technological innovation.
Creation of the Dengue Laboratory Network of the Americas (RELDA)
As a first step toward reaching these objectives, two meetings were held with the Collaborating Centers. The first took place in August 2006 in Buenos Aires, Argentina and was attended by the PAHO/WHO Collaborating Center in that country for the study of dengue and its control ; the Pedro Kouri Institute of Tropical Medicine (IPK) of Havana, Cuba; the Evandro Chagas Institute(IEC), the PAHO/WHO Collaborating Center for Research, Diagnostic Reference, and Training in Arbovirus and an institute of Brazil's Secretariat of Health Surveillance ; the "Dr. Julio Maiztegui" National Institute of Human Virological Diseases (INEVH) of Pergamino, Argentina, the PAHO/WHO Collaborating Center for reference and research on arboviruses and viral hemorrhagic fevers; the WHO Collaborating Centre for Dengue and Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever Reference and Research, San Juan laboratories, Dengue Branch, Division of Vector-borne Infectious Diseases, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), San Juan, Puerto Rico, jointly with PAHO/WHO.

:: Técnicas de Laboratorio para el diagnóstico y la caracterización de los virus del Dengue
At this meeting, the need for the Collaborating Centers, jointly with the national reference laboratories, to play a more active role in implementing the Integrated Management Strategy for Dengue Prevention and Control was stressed. The need to survey the laboratories to learn about their dengue diagnostic capabilities, as well as their limitations, was also noted, and the creation of a joint quality management system integrating the Region's dengue surveillance systems was explored. Also discussed was the need for a website (link) to furnish key information on each center and laboratory, structures, resources, technical expertise, and research projects.
A survey of the Region's laboratories was therefore conducted (http://www1.paho.org/english/ad/dpc/cd/den-cc.htm) that yielded detailed country information on laboratory capabilities, the techniques in use, and the networks in which the laboratories participate.
In August 2007, the second meeting of the PAHO/WHO Collaborating Centers for dengue was held in Havana, Cuba, to follow-up on the agreements reached at the Buenos Aires meeting. Participating were the Collaborating Centers for dengue of Argentina, Brazil, and Cuba, as well as PAHO/WHO. The main focus of the meeting was the network's participation in implementing the IMS-dengue, strengthening joint research in the Region, planning the components of the quality management system for dengue diagnosis, and procuring financing for the Collaborating Centers and the preparation of reagents and their exchange between the Collaborating Centers and national reference laboratories. Formal establishment of the Dengue Laboratory Network of the Americas was proposed, involving all the national reference laboratories already conducting dengue surveillance and the Collaborating Centers. This called for a joint meeting of the Collaborating Centers and national reference laboratories.
In June 2008, PAHO/WHO brought the Collaborating Centers and national reference laboratories together to reach agreement on the creation the Dengue Laboratory Network of the Americas (RELDA). Participating in the event were the heads of the dengue laboratories of the Collaborating Centers for dengue of Argentina, Brazil, Canada, the Caribbean represented in Carec, Cuba, and Puerto Rico, in addition to the chiefs of virology of the national reference laboratories of Bolivia, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, French Guiana, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, and Venezuela. Chile, Colombia, and Uruguay were unable to participate. At the meeting, the RELDA guidelines were drafted and the framework for the work, with expected results and specific activities, was jointly developed.
In August 2009, the III Meeting of the Dengue Laboratory Network of the Americas (RELDA) was held in Havana, Cuba. The event's participants included the PAHO/WHO Collaborating Centers for dengue and the national reference laboratories. The heads of the dengue laboratories of the WHOCC for dengue and other arboviruses of Argentina, Brazil, and Cuba participated, along with the chiefs of virology of the national reference laboratories of Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, and Venezuela. In addition, the Caribbean countries of Belize, Guyana, Jamaica, and Suriname joined the network.
At the meeting, Dr. Guadalupe Guzmán (IPK, Cuba) was named RELDA Coordinator for 2 year term, and a first technical advisory committee was formed, made up of five WHO Collaborating Centers (Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Cuba, and Puerto Rico) and four subregional coordinators (CAREC, North America, Mexico and Central America; Andean Region and Southern Cone).

Blessed Noël Pinot
- Natalis Pinot
- Natale Pinot
Ordained in 1771, he served for several years as assistant pastor at different parishes. Parish priest at Saint Aubin, Louroux-Beconnais, France in 1788, with a special ministry with the sick.
In the French Revolution, he was required to take an oath of loyalty to the new government, an oath that was opposed to Church principles. Noel refused, and was ordered to abandon his parish, to come no closer to it than eight miles for at least two years. He left, then returned in secret, and ministered clandestinely to his flock. Some of his brother priests took the civil oath, but Noel convinced several of them to renouce it, and return their loyalty to the Church.
In 1793, a counter-revolution began in western France; when these forces won some victories, Pinot returned to openly ministering to his flock. However, the forces of the Revolution began to win again, and Pinot became a wanted man. Captured by government soldiers while preparing for Mass, he was imprisoned for twelve days; sentenced to death for refusing to take the oath, and encouraging others to do so.
- 19 December 1747 at Angers, Maine-et-Loire, France
- guillotined on 21 February 1794 at Angers, Maine-et-Loire, France
- he wore his Mass vestments to execution, and died reciting the opening words of the Mass

I've also seen, birth, marriage, death, and other records all mixed together with no sense of order which, not being able to read Italian without an Internet translator, causes me to ignore them altogether.

PowerColor Go Green Radeon HD 5750 Review
AMD's Radeon HD 5000-series cards are already considerably more power efficient than anything in Nvidia's Fermi lineup, but PowerColor's Go Green series of cards are engineered to consume even less electrical power than reference design-cards. This passively cooled Radeon HD 5750 (PowerColor part number AX5750 1GBD5-NS3DH, to be precise) draws all the power it needs from the PCI Express bus, so it doesn't require a dedicated six-pin power cable. No fan means no noise.
