Method in the madness
... double bed in it and saying I'll put another one in and you can all share it, without any space for the bags or then a way to get to the bathroom. And helping me to learn that you never leave an open packet of peanut brittle on your bed all day if you dont like ants, so so many ants! Finding beer was also much easier with girls, after a trip to a very dodgy looking alcohol store, in Harry Potters auto no less, the girls were able to jump the whole ...

... itself, with a wide variety of games for people of all ages, food stalls, souvenir shops, pony rides etc.,
We decided to just take the 8 seater, and enjoy a boat ride in this famous lake, enjoying the panoramic view of the town on one side, and the valley on the other. The lake is more beautified by the surrounding Eucalyptus trees which give it a splendid outline as well.
Hope you enjoyed the journey with us till ...

... he snored like a chainsaw when he was sleeping. At one point some noise woke him up, which I thought might provide me with some relief until I got back to sleep. But he was back to sleep - and snoring again - within seconds! *******!
Moral: It turned out that it did me absolutely no good to be in a two-bed compartment. In fact, it's better to be in a compartment with ten non-snorers than with one snorer! I should get a refund - or at least a discount.
Ooty 4
... like Ooty is missing out by thinking of this guy as a crazy hermit (his own words) rather than the very intelligent person that he really is.
The rest of the day I spent doing my usual mundane tasks such as buying grapes and bananas at the market, taking a nap, reading (currently reading "Darkness at Noon" by Arthur Koestler), a novel about the Moscow show trials during which several batches of Stalin's enemies were ...

In the morning, before breakfast, I check emails and have a look at how the stock market closed in the US the night before. During breakfast I watch one of the documentary videos that I brought with me. This morning it was ...

Good Idea/Bad Idea: USB Card Swiper For Online Shopping
by Tech
Like us on Facebook
Online shopping just got a whole lot easier — or more dangerous, depending on your shopping self-control (personally, I identify a little too well with a certain fictional character).The SmartSwipe USB Card Reader ($87) plugs into your computer's USB port, and from there, when you want to check out at an online store, you swipe your card, just like you'd do at a department store counter.
SmartSwipe's main selling point is in its security — but the fact that you don't have to key in your credit card number makes an online impulse purchase way too easy. I want this — but think it's a bad idea for me.
What about you — is the SmartSwipe Card Reader a good idea or a bad idea for you?

To KMattes: The WoW authenticator is what your husband is probably talking about. It isn't a "swiper", but instead generates a random number that you have to give when you try to log in or change your account. The number refreshes every 30 seconds or so, and is linked to your account. This makes it very difficult, if not impossible for a remote hacker to get into your account. I'm iffy about the card swiper. Security is good, I guess, but it's very expensive and might make impulse purchases too easy. Not for me one bit.

It seems like it could potentially make it a little easier to get your identity stolen. If you have a virus or something couldn't they get the cc info immediately as soon as you swipe it? Maybe I just don't know enough about it, but it sounds a little dangerous!
EvilDorkGirl 5 years
It's cool but I don't see myself shelling out $87 for it.
bornthisway 5 years
it's a good idea for a product, but a bad idea for someone who already has an online shopping problem. (me) and bethinabox has a point.
margokhal 5 years
It's a good idea for me. I don't make online purchases easily, so impulse control isn't that big of a problem. Also, I only run on a debit card (I would get a credit card, but I just don't see the need for one), so I know that I only have a certain amount $X that I can even spend. I treat all of my money like it's debit - if the money isn't there, I can't buy it. Very simple and easy.
KMattes 5 years
My husband says they use these on World of Warcraft. The only way you can purchase things is if you have the swiper; that way no one can use your credit card if they hack into your account. Besides, many people who constantly buy things have their cc number memorized anyway. This wouldn't really make it any more dangerous, just easier :)
Lyngay 5 years
I think it's a great idea for a business environment, maybe. For an office manager or someone who buys things online every day for work?
bethinabox 5 years
If you do enough shopping online that you actually feel the need to buy this, then I think you might have a problem... :P
Gdeeaz 5 years
that is a bad idea, at least for me it is. i am addicted to online shopping, my UPS guy even thinks so...

Argh, makes it even more easier to buy online... Too tempting ;)

Live from CVC San Diego: Managing negative reviews of your veterinary practice
If you haven't checked out what people are saying about your practice on the Internet, it's time to start, says communication expert Dr. Jeff Werber.
Dr. Werber, a member of Veterinary Economics' Editorial Advisory Board and owner of Century Veterinary Group in Los Angeles, presented a series of sessions at CVC in San Diego that focused on monitoring and managing your Internet reputation — one of the key marketing efforts for practices in today's web world.
In the past, conventional wisdom said that an angry client would tell 10 people about his or her negative experience. But in the new world, an angry pet owner's negative review of your practice could be seen by thousands of potential clients. This "digital amplification" effect makes management of your online reputation a critical issue.
So what can you do when you find a negative review? Dr. Werber recommends that your first step always be a phone call to the reviewer to resolve the problem, if you can figure out who it is. If you made a mistake, acknowledge it, he says. "The best four words in conflict resolution are these: "I'm sorry. You're right."
If you can't reach the reviewer, respond publicly on the site. "My first instinct used to be to respond privately," Dr. Werber said in his sessions. "But now I respond publicly. I want anyone who sees the negative review to also see how hard I tried to resolve it."
Keep in mind that challenging the reviewer is always a losing proposition. "You want to take the high road," Dr. Werber says. "You want to try to solve the problem. And you want to look like the classy one in the exchange."
When you do reach a negative reviewer and resolve the problem, can you ask him or her to take down the review? No, Dr. Werber says. You don't want it to look like your motivation in resolving the problem was just to get the negative post removed. Down the road, if your relationship with the client stabilizes and the review doesn't disappear, you may be able to bring it up casually. "But I'd still tread softly," he says.
Also, there may be some truth in complaints, so read them with an open mind. You may learn something. Maybe you need to do more staff training. Or maybe you need to rethink a practice policy.
In other cases, though, there's no truth to the complaint and no lesson to be learned. It's a frustrating reality that in today's Web world, anyone can post virtually anything. If you find a review that is clearly grossly inaccurate, you can contact the site and petition for its removal. "However, unlike the poster, you'll be asked to prove that what you say is true," says Dr. Werber. "So be prepared to document your points."

National Poliomyelitis Eradication Initiative Acute Flaccid Paralysis (AFP) Surveillance Programme Back Ground Poliomyelitis was made a notifiable disease in Sri Lanka in 1944. OPV immunization of children was commenced island wide in 1964. Since the initiation of Expanded Programme on Immunization (EPI) in 1978, case incidence of poliomyelitis dropped drastically as the immunization coverage soared. With the dwindling caseload, it is very important to carry out enhanced surveillance to ensure that every case of poliomyelitis is detected. The purpose is to reliably identify areas where poliovirus transmission is occurring or is likely to occur and to allow supplementary immunization activities to be focused where it is necessary. Case based surveillance of individual acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) cases was initiated in 1991 in order to detect a possible poliomyelitis case wherever it may occur. The last case of confirmed poliomyelitis from the country was reported in 1993, in an under immunized female child aged 2 years from Kataragama in the DPDHS Division of Moneragala. Since Sri Lanka has been polio free for more than a decade, the ability to detect and respond rapidly to every case of AFP has become critical and surveillance is carried out with special emphasis to eliminate poliomyelitis as a cause for the paralysis in these cases. A standard case definition of a suspected case of Poliomyelitis/ an AFP case has been adopted for the surveillance programme. AFP Case definition An AFP case is defined as any child less than fifteen years of age with Acute Flaccid Paralysis or any person with paralytic disease at any age when poliomyelitis is strongly suspected. Goal: A Polio Free Sri Lanka Strategy Maintenance of a high immunization coverage among infants with three doses of OPV before the 1st birthday Enhanced surveillance National immunization days 'Mop – Up' immunization campaigns Epidemiological Unit is the central co-ordinating and monitoring agency for the National AFP Surveillance Programme under the National Poliomyelitis Eradication Initiative. AFP Surveillance Fifty five (55) hospitals where a Paediatrician is in place act as sentinel sites for AFP surveillance. AFP cases are notified to the Epidemiological Unit from these sites. Infection Control Nurses of these hospitals routinely monitor and report to the Epidemiological Unit. Regional Epidemiologists (RE) actively search for cases in the sentinel sites in their respective districts and also report to the Epidemiological Unit. Active surveillance is also carried out centrally at the main sentinel site for AFP Surveillance in the country, the Lady Ridgeway Hospital (LRH). EPIDEMIOLOGICAL UNIT MRI DPDHS / RE ROUTINE MOH ACTIVE Sentinel Sites/Major Hospitals All Hospitals LRH LABORATORY SURVEILLANCE (STOOL SAMPLES) Once an AFP case is notified it is assigned an identification number and entered in the National AFP Register. The relevant RE, Deputy Provincial Director of Health Services (DPDHS) and the Medical Officer of Health (MOH) are also notified of the case. The reporting institution collects two timely stool samples from the case for polio virology. These stool samples for polio virology from AFP cases are received at the Medical Research Institute (MRI), which is the Regional Reference Laboratory for Polio for the region. The Epidemiological Unit sends surveillance data of the AFP cases to the MRI and the laboratory data on AFP cases are communicated to the Epidemiological Unit by the MRI. Case surveillance and laboratory surveillance data are sent to the World Health Organization by these two organizations every week. All AFP cases reported are followed up till they are discarded as non-polio AFP cases. This is usually carried out following virology results and neurological examination and follow up. However those that cannot be discarded are forwarded to the National Polio expert Committee for final classification.

I really am sick and tired of the "DANGER, DANGER" warnings about kibble cat food! My first 2 cats were fed whatever dry cat food I found at the supermarket (mostly Purina One). They both lived to 19 years old and were in great health until their last year. On the other hand, my sister had siblings - 1 died at 6 years old; the other at 9 due to kidney failure. My belief is that cats are like people; some live long lives in spite of "bad" food and "bad" habits - others die young. I am feeding my cats higher quality foods that are mostly grain free. They eat kibble and it's supplemented with canned food every night. My oldest is 13 and in great health.

|Trading one bus for another
|Written by News Desk

The Choice Bus, a school-prison bus program designed to motivate high school students to complete school and graduate visited Stanhope Elmore High School last week.
Photo: Special to The Indy
From editorial writers' talk of a "school to prison pipline" to reports of alarming high school dropout rates on newscasts there has been significant discussion about deteriation in educational systems around the country. Since 2008, State Farm Insurance and the Mattie C. Stewart Foundation have impacted more than 2 million students in 20 states about this issue through a program called The Choice Bus.
The display consists primarily of a school bus, the back half of which is painted to resemble a prison bus. A grant by State Farm provides The Choice Bus the opportunity to visit schools, along with the InsideOut Toolkit. Each Toolkit contains a Teacher's Guide, a Stay in School Pledge Card and the InsideOut documentary—a 26-minute DVD that exposes the real story of the devastating and lasting effects of dropping out of school, told by those who live with the consequences every day: prison inmates.
Alabama is no stranger to this half-classroom, half-prison cell mobile experience. Since 2008, nearly 20,000 Alabama students have boarded The Choice Bus.
Roughly every 26 seconds across America, a student drops out of high school, according to organizers of the Choice Bus. The period between semesters at the winter break is often when students drop out. The Choice Bus is the nation's first mobile experience dedicated to reducing the dropout rate by showing students the power of their choices.
Dr. Molly Killingsworth, a former Assistant Principal at Stanhope Elmore High School, said in her experience the program is a powerful motivatior.
"I've received several emails from teachers stating students were really impacted by The Choice Bus. When students see individuals who made bad choices as teenagers, and ended up in prison, it's a more powerful impact than the teachers explaining to them what they should and should not do. Bringing the Choice Bus to Stanhope Elmore is one of the various programs being implemented to help increase the graduation rate.," Killingsworth said.

The Yezz Billy 4.7 popped up in the Microsoft store last month, and a new model has just been announced at CES 2015. It's the Yezz Billy 5S LTE, and it is definitely a step up from the previous model.
The Lenovo Vibe X2 impressed us when it was announced in the fall, and at CES today the company unveiled a follow-up of sorts dubbed the Lenovo Vibe X2 Pro. It's just as layered as the original, but more powerful and is made for the selfie.
You can't turn around without being hit with another Samsung Galaxy S6 rumor, and the mythical device is supposedly making an appearance behind closed doors at CES 2015 this week. While we wait to see if anything concrete comes from the tech expo, we're going to take a look at a new Samsung Galaxy S6 accessory leak.
CES 2015 has begun, and while we just told you about the LG G Flex 2, not every device at the big show is of the flagship variety. RCA apparently makes modern smartphones, and they have just announced two new Android handsets with the RCA G1 and RCA Q1.
If you love smartphones and tablets, it is the most wonderful time of the year. Sure, a lot of us got new tech for Christmas, but CES 2015 gives us a glimpse of all the new gadgets in the pipeline. Acer is one of many companies getting a jump on things, and they have just revealed the Acer Liquid Z410 specs and pricing.
Huawei made the Honor 6 Plus official a few weeks ago, and at the time, we weren't sure when or if it would get international availability. Well, that question has been answered as the Huawei Honor 6 Plus has just gone global.
Santa has just put his sleigh away for the year, but there are still some goodies on the way from Xiaomi. We've talked about the Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 at length over the past few months, and today we learned the rumored Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 release date. It obviously won't come this calendar year, but it won't be too far off…
Remember the Palm PDA? Some folks reading this may actually be too young to remember the first Palm which debuted in back in the 90s well before Android or iOS were the juggernauts they are now. Well, the brand may not be as dead as we though as Alcatel may be working on a new Palm smartphone.
We often joke about Samsung and Sony cranking out countless handsets, but neither can touch the Spice Stellar line which has more smartphones than you can shake a stick at. Well, you can add another to their catalog as the Spice Stellar 440 has just been announced for India.
CES 2015 kicks off next week, and HTC is going to be one of the busier companies at the big show. They have been dropping teasers for a week, and today we got a new one that is a bit unexpected as a new HTC Desire smartphone is on the way.
The LG G Flex isn't a handset you see in a lot of people's pockets when compared to the iPhone or Galaxy S5, but it has been a popular and intriguing handset. There have been rumors of a sequel since the summer, and today the LG G Flex 2 release date was teased by Qualcomm.

BUSINESS; A Push to Agree on a Drive-Through Future
By AMY ZUCKERMAN
Published: February 20, 2000
IMAGINE your car as a digital appliance, like a laptop computer or a cellular phone. Picture rolling through any toll plaza in North America without having to stop -- and picking up your e-mail as you pass. Warnings of traffic jams or poor road conditions ahead pop up on your dashboard, along with a map of the best alternate route. Drive-through fast food, fuel, a wash and wax for the car, parking in a downtown garage, are all charged to your monthly bill without human intervention.
Those images and more are the vision held out by proponents of what are called ''intelligent transportation systems.'' Now largely confined to automated toll collection, like the EZ-Pass system on many toll roads and bridges in the Northeast, I.T.S. depends on short-range communication between a small radio transponder in the vehicle and fixed stations on the roadside.
Manufacturers say the industry is on the brink of achieving much of its grand plan of convenience and efficiency for motorists and truckers, especially now that the government has set aside a valuable new patch of the frequency spectrum, the 5.9 gigahertz band, for their use.
But first, analysts say, two crucial questions must be settled: What nationwide, industrywide technical standard should be established? And can the mainly small companies in the industry find the resources to make the leap on their own, or must they form alliances with deep-pocketed partners in the cellular phone industry?
The four main vendors of the systems are scheduled to meet this week to discuss those issues. Joining executives of Amtech Systems, a division of Intermec, at their offices in Dallas will be representatives of the Sirit Corporation of Markham, Ontario; Mark IV of Mississauga, Ontario; and Highway Transportation Management Systems, a unit of Raytheon, the military contractor based in Marlboro, Mass.
Until now, the four companies have operated in a relatively small but safe market for limited-purpose transponders, according to Dick Schnacke, international standards manager at Amtech. Mr. Schnacke put Amtech's sales to toll agencies at about $85 million last year, and it is one of the two leading vendors, along with Mark IV, maker of EZ-Pass. But as ambitions for multipurpose systems soar, it is not clear whether the manufacturers will be able to realize all their ambitions unaided. ''You can build equipment, but you may not have the infrastructure in place to provide services,'' Mr. Schnacke said.
ITS America, a trade association that promotes wider adoption of the systems, sees great promise in marrying the technology with cellular telephony, according to Paul Najarian, the group's telecommunications director. Cellular systems are already in place nearly everywhere in the country; a link would open the possibility of partnerships with deep-pocketed giants like Qualcomm, Motorola and Lucent Technologies. So far the major cellular companies have not said whether they have any interest.
Making a cellular connection, Mr. Najarian said, would ''allow us to do 'p-commerce,' point-specific transmission from a Burger King, for example, or to download from specific points like the Internet.'' Many companies are already at work on potential in-car Internet applications, he said, among them America Online, whose recently acquired MapQuest unit aims to provide customized maps to motorists, and SmartMove USA, a Belgian-owned company that has developed a technology to download an entire Java application into cars as they pass a transmission point.
But some vendors worry that marrying cellular systems may erode their own products' unique advantages. ''The dedicated short-range communication medium allows you to make a dedicated transaction from a known location,'' Mr. Schnacke said. ''Cellular can't do that. It can get within 100 feet, but that's not good enough.''
High on the agenda for the Dallas meeting, he said, is the question of whether to expand the industry's standard-setting circle to include cellular companies.
Under a mandate from Congress, the Department of Transportation is financing the development of more than 100 related technical standards, from basic transponder design to highway safety and navigation applications, all aimed at so-called national interoperability -- in other words, having every vehicle's transponder work everywhere for all purposes.
EXPERTS like Lee Armstrong, a Boston-based consultant working on the standards, say a move to the 5.9 gigahertz band will make achieving that goal simpler, because the mutually incompatible systems now in use in different regions of the country use other frequencies.
The use of intelligent transportation systems would catch on faster if auto makers built transponders into the cars they sold, Mr. Armstrong said, but that won't happen until a standard is established and the automakers discern consumer demand.
''It's a chicken-and-egg thing,'' he said. ''A large number of people won't want built-in transponders unless they see a large number of applications. If we can get a standard developed, it would go a long way to driving public acceptance.'' But if no standard is agreed on soon, he warned, fast food chains and fuel retailers will move ahead with existing technology and chances for a national system will recede
. Christine Johnson, who directs the Transportation Department office responsible for intelligent transportation systems, said the government would back a national 5.9-gigahertz technical standard, though it would also continue to develop standards for commercial-vehicle transponders using older technology. ''The 5.9 gigahertz approach,'' Ms. Johnson said, ''allows for additional applications, and there is some overlap with Japan and Europe, so it puts us closer to a global market than just a North American market.''
With the high expectations pinned on I.T.S. systems and the onrush of new technology, the government is on ''a tough road,'' Ms. Johnson said. ''In other arenas we've been quite successful in convening the industry and catalyzing them to a consensus,'' she added. ''We can try to foster an industry standard, but we can't force it.''
Plenty of issues remain to be worked out, including whether existing toll plaza equipment can be adapted to a new standard or must be replaced and whether the industry can deliver a workable system as fast as many proponents hope.
Commercial fleet owners like trucking companies are among those most impatient for a nationally interoperable system. Cross-country truckers now have to carry multiple transponders for incompatible systems at toll lanes, weigh stations and truck stops. Standardizing on a single system could speed freight movement across the country and, if used at border crossings, to and from Mexico and Canada.
Steve Keppler, commercial vehicle manager for ITS America, said that equipment to perform these tasks was all feasible, but might be significantly more expensive than today's generation of transponders. So one more question is on the table: Who will pay for the new system, users or taxpayers?

|Joe Manchin (father)
Heather Bresch is the CEO of Mylan, Inc., a Pittsburgh-based pharmaceutical corporation. She is the daughter of West Virginia U.S. Senator and former West Virginia governor Joe Manchin.
Early life and education[edit]
Bresch is the daughter of the United States Senator from West Virginia, Joe Manchin.[4][5] She grew up in Fairmont and Farmington, West Virginia in a Catholic Italian American family.[6] Bresch attended Fairmont Senior High School in Fairmont, West Virginia[7] and graduated from West Virginia University in 1991 with a bachelor's degree in political science and international relations.[8]
Bresch was an MBA student at West Virginia University until 1998. In 2007, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported that Bresch had claimed to have an MBA degree from West Virginia University, but the university disputed that. The university subsequently awarded her an MBA despite her not attaining sufficient credits. In the ensuing controversy, the university announced in April 2008 that it would rescind Bresch's degree.[9] Michael Garrison, WVU President at the time, was reported to be "a family friend and former business associate of Bresch"[9] and a former consultant and lobbyist for Mylan.[10]
Early work[edit]
|The relevance of particular information in (or previously in) this article or section is disputed. (February 2015)
Bresch's father introduced her to Milan Puskar, who was then the CEO of Mylan, and persuaded her to accept a low-level data entry position with the company.[11][12] She started as a data entry clerk for pharmaceutical labels at the company's manufacturing facility in Morgantown, West Virginia in 1992.[13][11][14][15]
Starting in 2002, Bresch served successively as Mylan's director of government relations, Senior Vice President of Corporate Strategic Development, Head of North American Operations, and then (in 2009) Chief Operating Officer and Chief Integration Officer.[13][16][17][18][19][12] She joined Mylan's Board of Directors in March 2011.[20] She has been active in attempts to prevent brand-name pharmaceuticals from delaying the release of generic drugs and appeared before a special United States Senate committee on the issue in 2006[21][22] and again in 2009.[23] Bresch also testified before the Food and Drug Administration in September 2010 on the issue of generic drug user fees, proposing a new user fee structure that aims to generate more funding for the FDA and provide greater assurance for pharmaceutical product safety, regardless of where in the world the product or its ingredients come from.[24] On February 9, 2012, Bresch testified before the United States House Committee on Energy and Commerce in relation to drug supply chain integrity, drug shortages and the Generic Industry's Drug User Fee proposal (GDUFA).[25]
Bresch was named one of Fortune's "50 Most Powerful Women In Business" in 2012[26] and 2013. In 2011, Bresch was named a "Patriot of the Year" by Esquire for her work which led to the passage of the FDA Safety and Innovation Act.[27] Also in 2011, Bresch was named one of Pharmaceutical Executive's "Emerging Pharma Leaders 2011."[28] In 2009, Bresch was named one of the top women in the global pharmaceutical industry by FiercePharma.[29]
Personal life[edit]
Bresch is married to Jones Day lawyer Jeffrey J. Bresch. She was previously married to Doug Kirby, with whom she has a daughter. As of 2012, she has four children in total.[6][30][31][3] Bresch lives in Sewickley Heights, Sewickley, Pennsylvania.[32] In 1991, Bresch founded Tygart Technology with her first husband Douglas Kirby.[33] This led to conflict of interest questions regarding work sub-contracted to Tygart in 2006 for the Office of the Secretary of State, an office held by her father at the time.[34] Bresch had severed any financial ties to the company seven years prior.[33][35]

Oak Hill Rotary works to raise awareness of polioOctober 21, 2011
Accra East Rotarians work with Northwest Austin Rotarian Gail Buckley setting up for immunizations in front of local community library in Ghana. – submitted
By Tony Tucci
The Rotary Club of Austin-Oak Hill will sponsor a booth at the walking trail of the Arbor Hills Shopping Center Saturday to raise public awareness of polio, a once-dreaded disease that has been eradicated in the U.S. and has been fought by Rotary International in foreign countries for decades.
"We want people to know that Rotary International has fought polio throughout the world and that there are only four countries left where it remains a problem," said Brenda Osbon, a coordinator of the Oak Hill event. She said the four countries — Pakistan, Afghanistan, India and Nigeria — have been the hardest to get into.
Those who grew up in the 1950s in this country remember the scare of poliomyelitis. Mothers cautioned their children to take afternoon naps and stay away from local swimming holes. If polio didn't kill you, it could put you in braces or a wheelchair or, even scarier, an iron lung.
Then came Jonas Salk and the Salk vaccine. Children lined up for blocks to get their shots. By 1957, the number of polio cases in the U.S. had dropped from nearly 58,000 cases to just 5,600 cases. Albert Sabin added an oral polio vaccine to the arsenal, and by 1961 only 161 cases of polio were recorded.
Polio was down, but it was not out of the picture. It continued to take its toll in countries outside of the U.S.
"We haven't seen polio in the U.S. for decades," said Tim Buckley, a member of the Northwest Austin Rotary Club who has been active in the fight against polio. "In the 1970s, the Rotary Club started immunizing kids in the Philippines." he said. The program was a success.
A study showed it would cost $120 million "to immunize every child in the world," said Buckley, and in 1985 Rotary International decided to take the project on. "In less than three years, we raised more than two times that amount — $285 million," said Buckley. The estimate proved to be far short of the need, however. In the past 26 years, Rotary members have raised more than $1 billion. In addition, governments worldwide have contributed more than $8 billion.
Working with UNICEF, the World Health Organization and the Center for Disease Control, Rotary hoped to eradicate polio by its 100th anniversary in 2005. "We didn't do it," Buckley said, but there are only four countries left where polio remains endemic.
Buckley has been on two National Immunization Days, when volunteers visit countries around the globe and immunize children. While the program has been successful, reducing polio cases by 99 percent, many countries remain at risk. Rotary now is working to raise $200 million to match a $355 million challenge grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
The public awareness program in Oak Hill will be duplicated around the globe as Rotary observes World Polio Day and the birthday of Dr. Jonas Salk in October. More information can be obtained at Rotary's website, rotary.org/polioplus. Persons can add their photo to the "This Close" public awareness campaign.

Formal title: "Lord of Winter, Queen of Spring" A dark undead knight on a spectral mount faces off against a bright fairy queen. The deathknight known as The Lord of Winter raises his cold hammer to strike, but the faerie Queen of Spring counters with a fiery burst of magic from her staff. Meanwhile, the elements themselves around them seem to be in conflict. Here in Atlanta, the change from winter to spring can be kind of strange. Sometimes the winter can hold on until the end of April, but often spring wins out in early March. It can vary quite a bit day to day here. For instance, yesterday it was 80 degrees Fahrenheit (~27 Celsius) when I did my daily jog at noon. Just a week ago, it was 40 (~4 Celsius). The week before...
I am a forty-something living in the Metro-Atlanta area -- one of the few people who was actually born and raised here. I'm married and have two sons. By day, I am a senior software engineer at a small company that specializes in geolocation software. But, by night I am a 3D render artist. I have dual degrees from the University of Georgia, one in Computer Science, the other in Fine Art. So, it seems only natural that I attempt to combine the two by producing art using a computer. Plus, I find that it's a bit more practical than painting as it doesn't require all of the clean up, harsh chemicals, or expensive supplies. In fact, I have been a render artist since some of the first ray-tracing programs were made publicly available in the...
