Zoonoses and Public Health brings together veterinary and human health researchers and policy-makers by providing a venue for publishing integrated and global approaches to zoonoses and public health. The Editors will consider papers that focus on timely collaborative and multi-disciplinary research in zoonoses and public health. This journal provides rapid publication of original papers, reviews, and potential discussion papers embracing this collaborative spirit. Papers should advance the scientific knowledge of the sources, transmission, prevention and control of zoonoses and be authored by scientists with expertise in areas such as microbiology, virology, parasitology and epidemiology. Articles that incorporate recent data into new methods, applications, or approaches (e.g. statistical modeling) which enhance public health are strongly encouraged.
Please read the instructions below carefully for details on the submission of manuscripts, the journal's requirements and standards as well as information concerning the procedure after a manuscript has been accepted for publication in Zoonoses and Public Health. Authors are encouraged to visit Wiley Blackwell Publishing's Author Services for further information on the preparation and submission of articles and figures.
Zoonoses and Public Health requires authors to adhere to the following ethical guidelines for publication and research.
2.1. Authorship and Acknowledgements
Authorship: Authors submitting a paper do so on the understanding that the manuscript has been read and approved by all authors and that all authors agree to the submission of the manuscript to the Journal. Zoonoses and Public Health adheres to the definition of authorship set up by The International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE). According to the ICMJE authorship criteria should be based on 1) substantial contributions to conception and design of, or acquisition of data or analysis and interpretation of data, 2) drafting the article or revising it critically for important intellectual content and 3) final approval of the version to be published. Authors should meet conditions 1, 2 and 3
Participation solely in the acquisition of funding or the collection of data does not justify authorship and, except in the case of complex large-scale or multi-centre research, the number of authors should not exceed six.
It is a requirement that all authors have been accredited as appropriate upon submission of the manuscript. Contributors who do not qualify as authors should be mentioned under Acknowledgements.
Acknowledgements: Under Acknowledgements please specify contributors to the article other than the authors accredited. Please also include specifications of the source of funding for the study and any potential conflict of interests if appropriate. Suppliers of materials should be named and their location (town, state/county, country) included.
2.2. Ethical Approvals
Experimental Subjects: experimentation involving human subjects will only be published if such research has been conducted in full accordance with ethical principles, including the World Medical Association Declaration of Helsinki (version, 2002 www.wma.net/e/policy/b3.htm) and the additional requirements, if any, of the country where the research has been carried out. Manuscripts must be accompanied by a statement that the experiments were undertaken with the understanding and written consent of each subject and according to the above mentioned principles. A statement regarding the fact that the study has been independently reviewed and approved by an ethical board should also be included. Editors reserve the right to reject papers if there are doubts as to whether appropriate procedures have been used.
When experimental animals are used the methods section must clearly indicate that adequate measures were taken to minimize pain or discomfort. Experiments should be carried out in accordance with the Guidelines laid down by the National Institute of Health (NIH) in the USA regarding the care and use of animals for experimental procedures or with the European Communities Council Directive of 24 November 1986 (86/609/EEC) and in accordance with local laws and regulations.All studies using human or animal subjects should include an explicit statement in the Material and Methods section identifying the review and ethics committee approval for each study, if applicable. Editors reserve the right to reject papers if there is doubt as to whether appropriate procedures have been used.
Ethics of investigation: Papers not in agreement with the guidelines of the Helsinki Declaration as revised in 1975 will not be accepted for publication.
2.3 Originality
Zoonoses and Public Health requires authors to adhere to the ethical guidelines on originality of submitted work laid out in the Committee for Publication Ethics' International Standards for Authors.
The relevant sections are as follows:
"4.1 Authors should adhere to publication requirements that submitted work is original and has not been published elsewhere in any language. Work should not be submitted concurrently to more than one publication unless the editors have agreed to co-publication. If articles are co-published this fact should be made clear to readers.
4.2 Applicable copyright laws and conventions should be followed. Copyright material (e.g. tables, figures or extensive quotations) should be reproduced only with appropriate permission and acknowledgement.
4.3 Relevant previous work and publications, both by other researchers and the authors' own, should be properly acknowledged and referenced. The primary literature should be cited where possible.
4.4 Data, text, figures or ideas originated by other researchers should be properly acknowledged and should not be presented as if they were the authors' own. Original wording taken directly from publications by other researchers should appear in quotation marks with the appropriate citations.
4.5 Authors should inform editors if findings have been published previously or if multiple reports or multiple analyses of a single data set are under consideration for publication elsewhere. Authors should provide copies of related publications or work submitted to other journals.
4.6 Multiple publications arising from a single research project should be clearly identified as such and the primary publication should be referenced. Translations and adaptations for different audiences should be clearly identified as such, should acknowledge the original source, and should respect relevant copyright conventions and permission requirements. If in doubt, authors should seek permission from the original publisher before republishing any work." (Wager and Kleinert, 2011)

The number of illustrations and tables must be kept to a minimum.
5.1. Format
Language: The language of publication is English. Authors for whom English is a second language must have their manuscript professionally edited by an English speaking person before submission to make sure the English is of high quality. It is preferred that manuscripts are professionally edited. Visit our site to learn about the options. Please note that using the Wiley English Language Editing Service does not guarantee that your paper will be accepted by this journal.
Abbreviations, Symbols and Nomenclature:
All specifications must be stated according to the S.I. system. Concentrations of chemical solutions are to be given in mol/l. All other concentrations should be given in % (volume or weight).
Any abbreviations of chemical, biological, medical or other terms should only be employed when it is certain that they are internationally known. The full name must be stated in brackets when the abbreviation is first used.
All biological, medical, chemical or other terms should be used according to the most recent recommendations of the respective international nomenclature. Enzymes should be given in I.U. (International Units), according to Enzyme Nomenclature (Elsevier Publishing Co., 1965). In the case of commercially obtained substances or reagents, when they are first mentioned in the text, the name and address of the manufacturer or supplier should be given as a footnote. Products (preparations etc.) with a registered trademark should be marked with ®.
Bacterial names should be in accordance with the latest edition of Bergey's Manual of Determinative Bacteriology (The Williams and Wilkins Co., Baltimore). Viruses are to be given the classification and names recommended by the International Committee on the Nomenclature of Viruses.
Names of micro-organisms and zoological names will be printed in italics and should be underlined in the manuscript.
5.2. Structure
All manuscripts submitted to Zoonoses and Public Health should include:
On page one of the manuscript, please include the corresponding author, name of the institution, place where the work was carried out, title of the manuscript, names of the authors, the addresses of the authors and the e-mail address of the corresponding author. Each original article should be divided into Summary and Keywords, Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion and References. Summaries should not be longer than 300 words and up to six keywords should be provided. Please also include three bullet points, of around 100 words only, explaining the importance of the paper's findings for a non-specialist audience. These points will be published at the top of the article in a box entitled 'Impacts'.
The manuscript comprises the text and a list of all figures and tables with their captions and titles in a separate file. We ask that you convey the essential information within the first 60 characters of the captions to accommodate the online edition. Each figure, table, and bibliographic entry must have a reference in the text. For all figures please include reproduceable artwork (marked with the author's name, short title, and figure number). Any corrections requested by the reviewer should already be integrated into the file.
The data files must be PC/Windows-compatible. Please send the figures as separate files and do not import them into the text file. The text should be prepared using standard software (Microsoft Word, Word Perfect) or saved in rtf format; do not use automated or manual hyphenation. Please do not include footnotes.
Optimizing Your Abstract for Search Engines
Many students and researchers looking for information online will use search engines such as Google, Yahoo or similar. By optimizing your article for search engines, you will increase the chance of someone finding it. This in turn will make it more likely to be viewed and/or cited in another work. We have compiled these guidelines to enable you to maximize the web-friendliness of the most public part of your article.
5.3. ReferencesWe recommend the use of a tool such as Reference Manager for reference management and formatting.
Reference Manager reference styles can be searched for here:http://www.refman.com/support/rmstyles.asp
Each original paper should include Harvard-style bibliographical references which should be restricted to the necessary minimum. The name of the journal in which the paper cited appears should be listed in the form of the abbreviated title from the cover of the journal concerned, otherwise use the abbreviations contained in a Bibliographic Guide for Editors & Authors from Chemical Abstracts, which is available in all major libraries, or the World List of Scientific Periodicals, 4th ed., London 1963-65. Anonymous contributions should be placed at the beginning of the list of references. The list of references should be in alphabetical order of first authors' names.
Please ensure that references in the text exactly match those in the manuscript's reference list. If editing sections of text please ensure that any references that are affected are amended accordingly in the reference list. Reference to personal communications and unpublished results should be in the text only i.e. (Animal Health Care Flanders, personal communication, 2006) or (Zhang, F., unpublished results).

References in the text to literature in the Reference List should be given by placing in parenthesis the name(s) of the author(s), adding the year of publication (e.g.: Popoff and Le Minor, 1992).
The editor and publisher recommend that citation of online published papers and other material should be done via a DOI (digital object identifier), which all reputable online published material should have - see www.doi.org/ for more information. If an author cites anything which does not have a DOI they run the risk of the cited material not being traceable.
5.4. Tables, Figures and Figure Legends5.4 Illustrations and Tables
Figures should be saved in a neutral data format such as TIFF or EPS. Powerpoint and Word graphics are unsuitable for reproduction. Please do not use any pixel-oriented programmes. Photographs or drawings submitted for publication with the manuscript must be of high quality, distinct and well-focused, if they are to be suitable for reproduction. Scanned figures (only in TIFF format) should have a resolution of 300 dpi (halftone) or 600 to 1200 dpi (line drawings) in relation to the reproduction size. Please submit the data for figures in black and white.
Colour Figures: Colour photos can be reproduced in black and white (with a possible loss of contrast). Figures printed in colour are subject to an added charge. In the event that an author is not able to cover the costs of reproducing colour figures in colour in the printed version of the journal, Zoonoses and Public Health offers authors the opportunity to reproduce colour figures in colour for free in the online version of the article (but they will still appear in black and white in the print version). Colour print charges are explained on the Colour Work Agreement Form. Once completed, please return the form to the Production Editor at the address below. Colour graphics should be created using the CMYK colour palette (print colours), not RGB (monitor colours). There is a charge for alterations to figures when carried out by the publisher. If you are unable to access the internet, or are unable to download the form, please contact the Production Editor (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Once completed, please return the form (hard copy with original signature) to Customer Services via regular mail to the address below:
Customer Services (OPI), John Wiley & Sons Ltd, European Distribution Centre, New Era Estate, Oldlands Way, Bognor Regis, West Sussex PO22 9NQ, UK
Please note that figures will generally be reduced to fit within the column-width or the print area. This means that numbering and lettering must still be readable when reduced (e.g. maps) and that the scale might not correspond with the original (microscopic pictures), thereby invalidating references to scale in the text. If a figure is to be cropped, please mark the lines on a photocopy or tracing paper. Printouts should be made with a laserprinter at the highest resolution (> 600 dpi). If artwork is to be scanned, line drawings should only be contour drawings without halftones (shades of grey). Please do not use patterns; rough hatching is possible.Graphs with an x and y axis should not be enclosed in frames; only 2-dimensional representations. Do not forget the labels and units. Captions for the figures should give a precise description of the content and should not be repeated within the figure.
Tables should be created using the table function.
Further information can be obtained at Wiley Blackwell Publishing's guidelines for figures: http://authorservices.wiley.com/bauthor/illustration.asp
Check your electronic artwork before submitting it: http://authorservices.wiley.com/bauthor/eachecklist.asp
Figure & Table Legends: please ensure the essential information is within the first 60 characters of the captions to accommodate the online edition.
Permissions: If all or parts of previously published illustrations are used, permission must be obtained from the copyright holder concerned. It is the author's responsibility to obtain these in writing and provide copies to the Publisher.
5.5. Supporting Information
Publication in electronic formats has created opportunities for adding details or whole sections in the electronic version only. Authors need to work closely with the editors in developing or using such new publication formats.
Supporting Information, such as data sets or additional figures or tables, that will not be published in the print edition of the journal, but which will be viewable via the online edition, can be submitted.
It should be clearly stated at the time of submission that the Supporting Information is intended to be made available through the online edition. If the size or format of the Supporting Information is such that it cannot be accommodated on the Journal's website, the author agrees to make the Supporting Information available free of charge on a permanent website, to which links will be set up from the Journal's website. The author must advise Wiley Blackwell Publishing if the URL of the website where the Supporting Information is located changes. The content of the Supporting Information must not be altered after the paper has been accepted for publication.
The availability of Supporting Information should be indicated in the main manuscript by a paragraph, to appear after the References, headed 'Supporting Information' and providing titles of figures, tables, etc. In order to protect reviewer anonymity, material posted on the author's website cannot be reviewed. The Supporting Information is an integral part of the article and will be reviewed accordingly.
Extra issues: Larger papers or monographs may be published as additional issues (numbered as the ordinary issues), the full cost being paid by the author. Further information may be obtained from the editor.
Upon acceptance of a paper for publication, the manuscript will be forwarded to the Production Editor who is responsible for the production of the journal.
6.1 Proof Corrections
The corresponding author will receive an e-mail alert containing a link to a website. A working e-mail address must therefore be provided for the corresponding author. The proof can be downloaded as a PDF (portable document format) file from this site.
Acrobat Reader will be required in order to read this file. This software can be downloaded (free of charge) from the following website: www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html . This will enable the file to be opened, read on screen, and printed out in order for any corrections to be added. Further instructions will be sent with the proof. Hard copy proofs will be posted if no e-mail address is available; in your absence, please arrange for a colleague to access your e-mail to retrieve the proofs.
Proofs must be returned to the Production Editor within three days of receipt.
Proofs must be returned to the typesetter within three days of receipt. Please note that if you have registered for production tracking e-mail alerts in Author Services, there will be no e-mail for the proof corrections received stage. This will not affect e-mails alerts for any later production stages.
As changes to proofs are costly, we ask that you only correct typesetting errors. Excessive changes made by the author in the proofs, excluding typesetting errors, will be charged separately. Other than in exceptional circumstances, all illustrations are retained by the publisher. Please note that the author is responsible for all statements made in their work, including changes made by the copy editor.
6.2 EarlyView (Publication Prior to Print)Zoonoses and Public Health is covered by Wiley Blackwell's Publishing's EarlyView service. EarlyView articles are complete full-text articles published online in advance of their publication in a printed issue. EarlyView articles are complete and final. They have been fully reviewed, revised and edited for publication, and the authors' final corrections have been incorporated. Because they are in final form, no changes can be made after online publication. The nature of EarlyView articles means that they do not yet have volume, issue or page numbers, so EarlyView articles cannot be cited in the traditional way. They are therefore given a Digital Object Identifier (DOI), which allows the article to be cited and tracked before it is allocated to an issue. After print publication, the DOI remains valid and can continue to be used to cite and access the article.
6.3 Author ServicesOnline production tracking is available for your article through Wiley Blackwell's Author Services. Author Services enables authors to track their article - once it has been accepted - through the production process to publication online online and in print. Authors can check the status of their articles online and choose to receive automated e-mails at key stages of production. The author will receive an e-mail with a unique link that enables them to register and have their article automatically added to the system. Please ensure that a complete e-mail address is provided when submitting the manuscript. Visit www.blackwellpublishing.com/bauthor for more details on online production tracking and for a wealth of resources including FAQs and tips on article preparation, submission and more. For more substantial information on the services provided for authors, please see Wiley Blackwell Publishing Author Services.
6.4 Author Material Archive Policy
Please note that unless specifically requested, Wiley Blackwell will dispose of all hardcopy or electronic material submitted two months after publication. If you require the return of any material submitted, please inform the editorial office or production editor as soon as possible.
6.5 Offprints and Extra Copies
A PDF offprint of the online published article will be provided free of charge to the corresponding author, and may be distributed subject to the Publisher's terms and conditions. Additional paper offprints may be ordered online. Please click on the following link, fill in the necessary details and ensure that you type information in all of the required fields: offprint.cosprinters.com/cos/bw/main.jsp?SITE_ID=bw&FID=USER_HOME_PG. If you have queries about offprints please e-mail email@example.com.
6.6 Note to NIH Grantees
Pursuant to NIH mandate, Wiley Blackwell will post the accepted version of contributions authored by NIH grant-holders to PubMed Central upon acceptance. This accepted version will be made publicly available 12 months after publication. For further information, see www.wiley.com/go/nihmandate.

Technical Paper
During the eighties, the typical usage of a microcontroller in a car was for powertrain control. Following this, faster and faster microcontrollers found their way into various areas of vehicle design, and increasingly complex requirements led to increasingly powerful CPUs and peripherals. Today, microcontrollers are used in a vast range of applications, including body control, safety, audio, and navigation.
This article discusses the wide variety of such uses that ARM Processor-based microcontrollers serve in various automotive connectivity applications and in protocols such as CAN, Flexray, Ethernet, and USB.

The Better Choice For Emerging Markets, Mutual Funds Or ETFs?
An entire generation of investors are growing up with a new investment product. The exchange traded fund has replaced the old index funds, and some wonder if the ETF universe will obliterate more expensive mutual funds at some point in the near future. ETFs are cheaper to run. They are based on an index, often created for the ETF to track. read »

Video work adds little to self-indulgent, tedious concoction
Dog and Pony Theatre Company presents |
Roadkill Confidential |
Written by Sheila Callaghan Directed by Devon DeMayo at The Building Stage, 412 N. Carpenter (map) through June 4 | tickets: $15-$20 | more info |
Dog and Pony's Roadkill Confidential just might be the weirdest amalgamation of pretentious meaninglessness we've encountered on a stage. Ever. Despite what the various program notes would have you believe, playwright Sheila Callaghan's work is neither bold nor invigorating. It is simply a tedious barrage of grainy, often visually indecipherable video footage looming over a messy and ultimately pointless pastiche of verbal non-sequiturs and bizarre, modern dance-like interludes that seem to have no connection with the rest of the production.
In its sporadic moments of quasi-lucidity, Roadkill Confidential seems to be attempting some sort of satircal commentary on the everyday violence that consumes the world at large and/or humankind's increasingly numb reaction to said violence. But the production comes across more confused than satirical. The video footage isn't the only element of the production that's mostly unintelligible. Roadkill Confidential also lacks a coherent narrative. Finally, director Devon De Mayo seems unconcerned with connecting the audience on any level whatsoever. The drama lurches along from one outlandish scene to the next without offering a single moment of emotional truth for the audience to latch on to.
Obviously, a traditional narrative and conventionally empathetic characters aren't necessary for a play to work. From Ionesco to Beckett to Brecht and beyond, theater of the absurd and alienation can resonate with formidable power. But Callaghan's absurdity seems to stand for nothing beyond its own self-indulgence.
The story, such as it is, centers on Trevor (Lucy Carapetyan), a churlish artist who specializes in creating sculptures made from roadkill. As charactere go, Trevor is two-dimensional, running the emotional gamut from A to B, or rather, from bitchy to bitchier. She is prone, as are the others on stage, to sudden outbreaks of stylized movement – rhythmic gyrations portrayed with an angst-ridden, dead seriousness but that read more like a parody of modern dance.
Trevor is being tracked by a one-eyed fellow known only as FBI Man (Sorin Brouwers), who believes the artist may be using her sculptures as weapons of germ-warfare. In between FBI Man's rambling ruminations on high-tech surveillance gadgets and his own unflagging patriotism, Callaghan introduces Trevor's tweedy partner William (Dan Smith), her seemingly brain-damaged stepson Randy (Andrew Goetten), and the fractured family's uber-perky, socially clueless neighbor Melanie (Heather Townsend).
Among the five of them, there's not a note of authenticity or a single moment that generates anything akin to empathy. What drives Trevor's surly fascination with dead animals is anybody's guess. As is the genesis of Randy's bizarre obsession with cutlery. Combine the disconnected interludes of surreal, Isadora Duncan-on-absinthe undulations with the dearth of relatable humanity with video footage so muddy it looks like abstract art and you've got a show offers audiences very little incentive to stay interested.
Although to be sure, there is one video segment that clearly captures something recognizable, and recognizably part of the story: It is footage of a dog chained to a wall and left to starve as part of a gallery exhibit. It's safe to assume no animals were actually harmed in the creation of Roadkill Confidential. Even so, the images of the purportedly starving mutt seem utterly gratuitous in their cruelty, an ugly, manipulative attempt by the playwright to be shocking. Equally ugly: A scene wherein Trevor, hands dripping with blood, wields a knife over a squirming, barely living squirrel (or something) and tells the struggling creature that she's about to inflict pain that'll hurt plike a "motherfucker." Call me overly sensitive, but I see nothing worthwhile about watching small animals tortured to death, even when it's only pretend.
As for Trevor's final art project, it's so beyond the pale as to beggar description. But just when you think Roadkill Confidential couldn't get anymore pointlessly strange or manipulative in its attempts to be edgy and innovative, Callaghan introduces a musical number involving another dying creature Trevor has drafted into her artwork.
Successful plays don't need likeable characters or traditional plots. It is quite possible to fuse traditional dramatic action with dance and video and come up with a compelling multi-disciplinary artistic hybrid. But Roadkill Confidential, in its strenuous attempts to be push the envelope of edginess and provocation, only succeeds in being tedious. It's not innovative so much as it is inane. And in the end, uninteresting.

REVIEW: The Franklin Expedition (The Building Stage)
Franklin ends up lost once again
The Building Stage presents |
The Franklin Expedition |
Conceived and Directed by Blake Montgomery at The Building Stage, 412 N. Carpenter (map) Through October 30 | tickets: $20-$25 | more info |
Reviewed by Leah A. Zeldes
Billed as "A slightly delusional, historically inaccurate, fragmented portrait of a lost explorer," The Building Stage's world premiere The Franklin Expedition centers on Sir John Franklin, a British naval officer and Arctic explorer who mapped much of the northern coastline of North America. In 1845, he set out with two ships, HMS Erebus and HMS Terror, to traverse the last uncharted section of the Northwest Passage, but never returned. Numerous search and rescue missions were sent, but Franklin and his 128 men were lost. An 1854 expedition interviewed Inuits and learned that the ships had become icebound. The crews had tried to reach safety on foot, resorting to cannibalism in their efforts to survive, but all succumbed to the bitter conditions. A horrified Victorian public refused to believe this account of their heroic explorers, but recent discoveries seem to bear it out. The mystery of what happened to Franklin's expedition inspired the ballad "Lord Franklin, "Wilkie Collins," 1856 play The Frozen Deep and a variety of other artistic works.
You won't find any of this out by watching The Franklin Expedition. Conceived and directed by Blake Montgomery, and developed and performed by David Amaral, Pamela Maurer, Chris Pomeroy, Jon Stutzman and Leah Urzendowski, the play takes a highly stylized and very self-referential view of Franklin.
"I don't recognize myself," the character says at one point. As well he might.
All five of the performers play Franklin at different times, often several at once — sometimes in chorus — as well as his wife, his crew, Queen Victoria and a few other characters; then they step back to examine how well their differing portraits of the man worked out. At times, it seems more like a method-acting workshop than a play.
The timeline isn't remotely chronological, slipping from Franklin on his frozen ship to his preparations for the voyage to his imaginings of his triumphant return to his funeral and around, through and back again. Stretches range from tense to solemn to humorous to outright zany.
Some parts work well: A scene in which the very expressive Stutzman, as Franklin, valiantly tries to rally his disheartened crew; a funny and highly anachronistic session in the snow; and a post-expedition meeting between the tall and hugely comic Pomoroy as Queen Victoria and the diminutive blonde Urzendowski as Franklin. Others, such as the back-patting acting critiques and an overlong scene in which Urzendowski, as the Queen, criticizes the British restraint of Amaral, as Lord Barrow, in eulogizing the lost Franklin, are less successful.
Musical interludes by the sweetly voiced Maurer, sometimes accompanied by other cast members, include some very nice folk songs, including a lovely rendition of "Lord Franklin." The multi-talented performers accompany on fiddle, guitar, keyboards, ukulele and washboard.
It's definitely interesting, the performances are very well done and the concept of the ever-changing Franklin quite cleverly executed. Yet, overall, the play — 90 minutes without intermission — never quite seems to come together. It seems a collection of disjointed scenes. I'd really have liked to see more history and action and less theatrical navel gazing.
In the end, despite all these players, Franklin himself is lost.

Review: Shakespeare's King Phycus (Strangetree Group)
A hilarious romp through Shakespeare's tragedies
The Strange Tree Group presents |
Shakespeare's King Phycus |
Written by Tom Willmorth Directed by Ira Amyx at The Building Stage, 412 N. Carpenter (map) Through July 31 | tickets: $25-$45 | more info |
Reviewed by Oliver Sava
Written in 1988, Shakespeare's tale of King Phycus and his children Juliet and Hamlet is the bard's first tragedy, a clunky amalgamation of characters and situations that could best be described as a rough draft of the legendary Tragedies that followed. Thought lost for centuries, the play reappeared in the 19th century, but productions were halted for their connections to the Astor Place Riot and the assassination of President Lincoln.
Yes, the history of Tom Willmorth's Shakespeare's King Phycus is completely fictional, but it is the sort of detail that shows Strange Tree's commitment to their concept. This isn't a Monty Python-esque farce (it totally is) – this is Shakespeare's lost tragedy, and the actors perform it with all the grandeur and importance a forgotten Elizabethan masterpiece deserves. In contrast with the ridiculous content of the play, the actors' stern execution of their craft enhances the comedy of the piece, whether it is the street battle waged with weaponized fruit or the Nurse's stream of dead baby retorts.
Shakespeare's King Phycus is at its best when the humor comes from exaggerating the absurdities of Shakespeare's plots and language. The language of the play, like any rough draft, needs a lot of work. The alliteration is overly aggressive, the rhymes are awkward and many times nonsensical, and wordplay is used so frequently that oftentimes characters lose track of what they're even talking about. But that's the point, especially when it comes to the heaps of classic lines that Willmorth butchers with his horrendous poetry, e.g., "By the picking of my nose, something wicked this way goes." Yuck.
Without the work of the talented ensemble, the script would collapse under its own weight, but the actors' handle on Shakespeare's language adds integrity to the play. An Elizabethan rendition of "Who's on first?" is funnier because the actors are on point with the rapid fire banter of broken up iambic pentameter. Conversely, Friar Don's (Scott Cupper) final monologue is completely unintelligible, showing that this cast doesn't need consonants and vowels to be funny.
With each actor playing multiple roles, Shakespeare's King Phycus is a demanding show performed admirably as the versatile ensemble transitions between roles seamlessly. Michael T. Downey is noteworthy in the title role, particularly post-eye-gouging, playing the fantastic physical gag so well that the joke never gets old. Bob Kruse's wonderfully creepy necrophile Gloucester and Carolyn Klein's vulgar Nurse are also standouts, with both actors taking the exaggerations of the language and matching it with appropriately outrageous physicalizations.
As funny as Shakespeare's King Phycus is, when Willmorth relies too heavily on pop culture references ("Isn't it Ionic, don't you think?) and unnecessary fan service (Friar Don is a ninja!), the results are groan-worthy and take away from the timelessness of the concept. Some of the jokes go on a little too long, like a dance sequence between Brutus, Romeo, and Sardonicus that could use a good minute of cutting, but the production still stands up well despite these flaws. Like the play's fictional history, the little details are what make Shakespeare's King Phycus great, the chamber arrangement of "La Cucaracha" playing in the background of the ball, the improv warm-ups of Hamlet's friends Goldenberg and Rosenstein. For anyone that loves Shakespeare and wants to see some of his best plays reconstructed then put together in the most haphazardly hilarious way possible, Strangetree's productions will not disappoint.

Product Description
Each player builds a pyramid of buckets of five different colors before himself. The starting player challenges the next player with a card -- the next player must then raise the stakes by playing a higher value of cards of the same color -- successfully doing so passes the challenge on to the next player, and so on until someone falters -- and must lose a bucket of that color from his pyramid. But the arrangement of colored buckets in the pyramid is important, as players are battling gravity as well -- if you are forced to lose a bucket from the bottom of the pyramid, all those supported by it tumble down as well! Clever cardplay will keep you in the game until your last opponent kicks the bucket, and you claim victory!

UDOT's CSS Philosophy
Context Sensitive Solutions (CSS) is a philosophy that guides UDOT wherein safe transportation solutions are planned, designed, constructed, and maintained in harmony with the community and the environment.
CSS addresses the need, purpose, safety and service of a transportation project, as well as the protection of scenic, aesthetic, historic, environmental and other community values. CSS is an approach to transportation solutions that find, recognize and incorporate issues/factors that are part of the larger context such as the physical, social, economic, political and cultural impacts.
"Context Sensitive Solutions is more than an initiative; it is a fundamental change in the way we do business. As each of us come to understand the elements of CSS, it will be woven into the way we do our work and become an integral part of the UDOT culture," said John Njord, UDOT Executive Director.
What CSS is Not
UDOT's Strategic Direction
UDOT applies our CSS philosophy to projects to help reach the department's four strategic goals:
These goals are achieved through strong interdisciplinary/interagency collaboration and proactive stakeholder involvement discussions throughout the planning, design, construction, and maintenance project phases.

Lace cookies
By Tali Simon | January 2, 2012
I know, I know. Three dessert posts in three days?
We eat healthy stuff around here, too, really we do.
It's just that sometimes I want cookies. Like these.
I didn't have any good reason to make them other than that. It was motsei Shabbos and with several hours of the night still left, I was in a major baking mood.
So I made a batch of chocolate-drizzled granola bars for breakfast during the week (um, they're gone already) and some roasted potato wedges in lieu of dinner. But I made these lace cookies first. I didn't want to wait.
I'm actually not such a cookie person, if you want the truth. I'd take bissli and cheese crackers over cookies and cake most days. But there's just something about lace cookies that wins me over.
Maybe it's because they're wonderfully buttery (don't make these with margarine, so not the same). Maybe it's because they're sandwiched together with a thin layer of melted chocolate. Maybe it's because they're chewy from the oven and crisp minutes later.
Whatever the reason, they're actually amazing. You may have noticed that most of these pictures include half-eaten cookies. That's a pretty accurate reflection of what went on here as they came out of the oven.
We finished the batch within, um, 30 minutes?
Disclaimer: For reasons I don't quite understand, some people consider lace cookies a holiday treat for Dec. 25. Clearly not my motive. Just saying.
Ingredients Directions 1. Preheat oven to 375 F/190 C. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside. 2. In a small bowl, combine flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, and oats. Set aside. 3. In a medium bowl (with high sides to avoid splatter), beat together melted butter, heavy cream, maple syrup, and vanilla. Add dry ingredients in two or three additions and mix until incorporated. 4. Drop tiny balls of batter that are the size of 1 teaspoon onto the prepared baking sheets, two inches apart. Measuring is a good idea since you'll want same-size cookies for sandwiching them together. They do expand, so make sure to leave enough space. 5. Bake for 9 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. 6. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler (or in the microwave). Spread one cookie with a thin layer of melted chocolate and place a second cookie of the same size on top. (Don't use too much chocolate, or it will ooze out the sides.) Repeat with remaining cookies.
Tweaked from Two Peas & Their Pod
Yield: About 20 sandwich cookies (I got 23)

Looks delish and reminds me of a really good friend of mine. Her mother used to ALWAYS buy these. Your pictures are absolutely mouth watering…
Does heavy cream come in some parve variety? (I don't know this stuff.)
Have you tried this with 100% whole wheat flour?

You know what? The bit that's sort of missing is the whole Open Kitchen thing that was featured at JKWB.....That really made the experience there. Something they won't be able to replicate at Gilead. Upon saying that, we went for dins on the 6th and had a fabulous meal.... |
You've got to try The Carbon Bar - a tremendous brand new place billed as a "massive southern bistro" http://thecarbonbar.ca/. David Lee and Franco Prevedello are behind it, btw Had the cheese croquettes, the queso de cabeza, the sea bass and the jerk cornish hen - all of it stellar! For desert we opted for the goat's milk ice cream with wild honey and a couple of the fabulous "carbon chocolate bars". Mr. Sharkfin and I eat everywhere and anywhere, always on the lookout for something new and really good....Carbon Bar ticks all those boxes! Quite simply knocked our socks off! |
Off to Thailand next month and plan to spend time on Railay Beach (Bay). We've been doing some reading and it looks like the best food is on the beach on the East Side of the peninsula. Anyone have any "on the ground intel"? Is the best food on Railay east or west? Oh, and has anyone eaten at Rayavadee? Presumably it's expensive, but is it any good? |

Best Lunch Picks - St. Lawrence Market Who sells the best lunch goodies at St. Lawrence? I know the peameal is fabulous at Carousel, I've recently read about Carniceros being good, the tempura shrimp downstairs are quite moreish, but am wondering if anyone has any new and inspiring suggestions. I need an alternate to the (mostly) slop on offer in the PATH. :) |
President's Choice Black Label Oooh, lucky you! Wish I got stuff like that in my mailbox :) Guess the Westons figure folks in my part of town don't shop in their stores - LOL! I love the branding of the new Black Label stuff - it's fabulous just to stand and stare at everything in the range. Reminds me a bit of the Dave Nichol/Watt Group time at Loblaws. We've tried the Belgian Chocolate Chunk cookies - they were delish! Not many in the box, but who cares...we'd only eat them all in one go anyway! Noticed a "Black Label Cookbook" in Leslie/Lakeshore Lobs. today....Beautiful photography, lots of appetizer-type recipes - aimed at Christmas party entertaining, I'm thinking. |
You could try here, of course....http://hackneyfinefoods.com/ :) |
Who in Toronto makes the best English-style sausages? Any recommendations? |
Too funny! - yup....this is for friends of mine who will like that sort of thing - I said I'd post to Chowhound to see if anyone had any ideas... |
Yeah, I grabbed a copy of the menu from the owner last Saturday as they were putting up the sign, I noticed the cocktail/beer thing. How "light on wine" are they? A few bottles/glasses of each colour sort of thing? |
Looking for a restaurant similar to NYC Tao....any suggestions? |
Chocolate Making Supplies - London Will be in London later this year (for my annual food/clothes/books/party popper shopping trip) and am looking for a shop to assuage my new passion for making "things chocolate". I'm specifically looking for moulds, but anything chocolatey is interesting to me.... It doesn't really matter where in London as long as it's on the tube - we stay in Shoreditch. Ta! |
Cheers TorontoJo...I read about his catering operation too, but I get the impression that there's going to be a cafe...Great excuse to go to The Brickworks - as if I need one :) |
Read about this in that VISA Infinite brochure that arrived with this morning's Globe. I searched The Brickworks site but there's nothing much, a placeholder page saying "opening Spring 2011" and a news release dated April 2010 stating the cafe was slated to open last Fall. Does anyone know anything? Any idea when it's opening...if it's not already. |
Noticed this little place the other week - it's on east side of Carlaw maybe 1/2 block (if that) north of Queen. Anyone been there or know anything about it? |
Well, it's really take-away - there is some lovely seating but they don't really offer bevvies....They had coffee in those flask things, but no espresso machine. |
Yes, we tried this wonderful square too - shortbread base, chocolate, nuts, all sorts of surgary yumminess. We were told by one of the owners that her inspiration for this creation came from childhood - something her Gran used to make. So yes, it does look fancy but they sell lovely "rustic" goodies too. The best of both worlds? |
Yes, that's the place! |
Dunno....I went to Bobette & Belle days after they opened and I loved their macarons - particularly the passionfruit & white chocolate - yum! I don't know whether Bobette & Belle supplied(s) McEwen....but personally, I found McEwan's macarons very uninspiring - they tasted a bit like a damp basement smells :( - (kept in a fridge/freezer too long perhaps). I also read somewhere recently that B & B supply Pusateri's - so who knows? My recipe for macaron nirvana....go to Bobette & Belle in Leslieville and try them there - at the source. ----- |
Just noticed this place on the north-west corner of Queen East & Boulton. Does anyone know anything about it? |
Anyone know what happened to it. Place is totally empty...have they permanently closed up shop or gone elsewhere? |
Cheers, LTL - will do! :) |
Hey LTL - I can't find Fabbrica's website. Do you have a link? |
Leslieville: |
Hey Lazar, thanks so much for finding out QMP's opening date and posting it. I was just going to call them myself, so you saved me the job. |

Hi all, I've searched, but have found no good information regarding xfs on rhel 4. I'm building a multi-TB fileserver on which I'd like to run xfs. As you may know, RHEL comes without xfs enabled in the kernel. My understanding is that RH chose this path because a) they have in-house expertise in ext3 but not for xfs, and b) they believe that xfs doesn't offer any advantages to their customers that ext3 cannot provide. Bottom line I want to know is, if I simply take the RHEL 4 kernel source rpm, enable XFS, and rebuild the kernel (I am fluent enough in these steps), am I likely to have an xfs that is production-quality? If not, what are the gotchas? If I should apply any patches, how can I determine these patches? Thanks much, David |

Lennie Tucker's Saturday letter in reply to Mary Armstrong's letter urging her to go out and have fun, buy fancy outfits, etc., seemed to me, an 80-plus widow, to be too simplistic a solution to loneliness in the elderly.
Not everybody has the resources or ability to do that, due to insufficient finances or physical problems. Right now I am able to drive, and have made it a point to try to get out of the house most days for a short time to be in contact with other people. I don't look forward to the time when all that will come to an end and my contact with others will only be infrequent phone calls from very busy family members.

[Brought to you by the Blue Letter Bible]
I tell the truth in Christ, I am not lying, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Spirit, |
that I have great sorrow and continual grief in my heart. |
For I could wish that I myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my countrymenfn according to the flesh, |
who are Israelites, to whom pertain the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the service of God, and the promises; |
of whom are the fathers and from whom, according to the flesh, Christ came, who is over all, the eternally blessed God. Amen. |
But it is not that the word of God has taken no effect. For they are not all Israel who are of Israel, |
nor are they all children because they are the seed of Abraham; but, "In Isaac your seed shall be called."fn |
That is, those who are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God; but the children of the promise are counted as the seed. |
For this is the word of promise: "At this time I will come and Sarah shall have a son."fn |
And not only this, but when Rebecca also had conceived by one man, even by our father Isaac |
(for the children not yet being born, nor having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works but of Him who calls), |
it was said to her, "The older shall serve the younger."fn |
As it is written, "Jacob I have loved, but Esau I have hated."fn |
What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? Certainly not! |
For He says to Moses, "I will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I will have compassion."fn |
So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who shows mercy. |
For the Scripture says to the Pharaoh, "For this very purpose I have raised you up, that I may show My power in you, and that My name may be declared in all the earth."fn |
Therefore He has mercy on whom He wills, and whom He wills He hardens. |
You will say to me then, "Why does He still find fault? For who has resisted His will?" |
But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed say to him who formed it, "Why have you made me like this?" |
Does not the potter have power over the clay, from the same lump to make one vessel for honor and another for dishonor? |
What if God, wanting to show His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath prepared for destruction, |
and that He might make known the riches of His glory on the vessels of mercy, which He had prepared beforehand for glory, |
even us whom He called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles? |
As He says also in Hosea: "I will call them My people, who were not My people, And her beloved, who was not beloved."fn |
"And it shall come to pass in the place where it was said to them, 'You are not My people,' There they shall be called sons of the living God."fn |
Isaiah also cries out concerning Israel:fn "Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, The remnant will be saved. |
For He will finish the work and cut it short in righteousness, Because the LORD will make a short work upon the earth."fn |
What shall we say then? That Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness of faith; |
but Israel, pursuing the law of righteousness, has not attained to the law of righteousness.fn |
Why? Because they did not seek it by faith, but as it were, by the works of the law.fn For they stumbled at that stumbling stone. |
As it is written: "Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and rock of offense, And whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame."fn |

A square or rectangular prism shaped box commonlly situated at the front of peoples houses mounted on a post or in a precut hole in the fence. A letter box can usaully consist of two different holes; a rectangular hole cut into the letterbox, which is where the postman or postwoman places paper messages encased in a an adressed envolope. The other hole is a round cylinder, where pointless paper, also known as junkmail, is inserted by the paper boy. On the letter box,it is very common to have the number that represents the house that the letter box is used for. Some letter boxes can be locked by a small padlock to prevent people from stealing your mail (this is highly recommeded if you live in a shitty/dodgy neibourhood). Most people like to decorate their letterboxes but is usually a very bad idea.
"hey ma! Im going out to get the mail from the letter box. ok?

Lake Skadar (Albanian: Liqeni i Shkodrës, pronounced [liˈcɛni i ˈʃkɔdrəs]; Montenegrin and Serbian: Скадарско језеро, Skadarsko jezero, pronounced [skâdarskɔː jɛ̂zɛrɔ]) — also called Lake Scutari, Lake Shkodër and Lake Shkodra — lies on the border of Albania and Montenegro, the largest lake in the Balkan Peninsula. It is named after the city of Shkodër in northern Albania (Albanian: Shkodër or Shkodra, Serbian: Скадар, Skadar, Italian: Scutari). It is a karst lake.
Skadar Lake is the largest lake in the Balkan Peninsula with a surface area that seasonally fluctuates between 370 km2 (140 sq mi) to 530 km2 (200 sq mi).[1] Skadar Lake itself is located on the western Balkan with approximately two-third (229 km2 (88 sq mi)) of its surface belonging to Montenegro and about one-third (142 km2 (55 sq mi)) to Albania.[1] The lake's water level also varies seasonally from 4.7 to 9.8 m above sea level.[1] The lake extends in the NW-SE direction, and it is approximately 44 km long.[1]
The Bojana River connects the lake with the Adriatic Sea, and the Drin River provides a link with the Ohrid Lake.[1] The lake is a cryptodepression, filled by the river Morača and drained into the Adriatic by the 41 km (25 mi) long Bojana (Albanian: Buna), which forms the international border on the lower half of its length. The largest inflow is from the Morača, which provides about 62% of the lake's water.[1] Total drainage area is 5490 km2.[1]
There are additionally some fresh water sources at the lake bottom. A characteristic feature of Lake Skadar's water balance is the high inflow from a number of temporary and permanent karstic springs, some of which are sublacustrine in cryptodepressians (so called 'oko').[1] The Southern and southwestern sides of the lake are rocky, barren and steep, having bays in which the sublacustrine springs, are usually to be found.[1] On the northern side there is an enormous inundated area, the boundaries of which change as water levels fluctuate.[1]
Some small islands like Beška, with two churches on it and Grmožur, a former fortress and prison can be found on the southwest side of the lake.
The climate type is hot-summer Mediterranean climate with dry summers (Csa), under Köppen climate classification.[1]

IUCN category IV (habitat/species management area)
Lake Shkodra and surrounding area
Location | Albania, Montenegro |
Area | 400 km2 (150 sq mi) (40.000 ha) |
Established | 1983 |
The Montenegrin part of the lake and its surrounding area were declared a national park in 1983. The Albanian part has been designated as a Managed Nature Reserve. In 1996, by Ramsar Convention on Wetlands, it was included in the Ramsar list of wetlands of international importance.[2] Near the mouth of Rijeka Crnojevića, 11 m (36 ft) below the surface of the water there is a well preserved wreck of the steamboat Skanderbeg sank by Partisans in 1942, during the Second World War.[3]
Outflow at Shkodër in Albania
Skadar Lake is presumably an ancient lake, although it is the relatively young ancient lake.[1]
Most authors agree that the Skadar Lake basin is of tectonic origin which had been formed due to the complex folding and faulting within north eastern wing of Old Montenegro anticlynorium (High Karst Zone).[1] These movements took place during the Cenozoic period. The Lake basin has been formed as the result of sinking of blocks in the Neogene period or even in Paleogene.[1] In the Miocene and the Pliocene marine conditions prevailed in the Zeta Plain, which was sunk at the beginning of the upper Miocene, and that the sea inundated this plain up to Podgorica during the Pliocene.[1] Radoman (1985)[4] pointed out that sea must have destroyed all the freshwater populations on this plane and in Skadar Lake area.[1] The connection of Skadar Lake with the sea was interrupted during the younger Pliocene.[1] The question of the origin of its water is of particular interest for biologists as these waters may have provided its first species and been the basis for its present high degree of endemism.[1]
The Skadar Lake system is a well-known hotspot of freshwater biodiversity and harbors a highly diverse mollusc fauna.[1]
Lake Skadër is one of the largest bird reserves in Europe, having 270 bird species, among which are some of the last pelicans in Europe, and thus popular with birders. The lake also contains habitats of seagulls and herons.
It is abundant in fish, especially in carp, bleak and eel. Of the 34 native fish species, 7 are endemic to Lake Skadar.[5]
At the scale of Skadar Lake, about 31% of freshwater snails (12 out of 39 species sampled in the lake) are endemic.[1] At the scale of the Skadar Lake basin, 38% (19 species) of the total freshwater gastropod fauna appear to be endemic.[1] There were reliably recorded 50 species of freshwater snails from the Lake Skadar basin.[1] The index of freshwater gastropod endemism is 0.478.[1] With this relatively high value, Skadar Lake exceeds such famous lakes as Lake Malawi and Lake Titicaca.[1] The Lake Skadar is inhabited by five species of Bithynia and it is a hot spot of Bithynia evolution.[1]
There are 17 amphipod species for the Skadar lake watershed, 10 of them being endemic (mainly from the subterranean habitat).[1]
The small range of many endemic species living in Skadar Lake system together with ever increasing human pressure make its fauna particularly vulnerable.[1] This becomes even more important in light of ongoing eutrophication, water pollution and sand and gravel exploration activities in the lake and its basin.[1] Research of the phytoplankton community and chlorophyllbased trophic state indices show that the lake is on a betamesosaprobic level of saprobity, which means moderately polluted with organic compounds.[1] Effects of human-induced environmental changes are especially evident for sublacustrine springs, with eutrophication and using for water supplying (e.g., sublacustrine spring Karuč) being the most serious threats.[1]
The 2011 IUCN Red List of Threatened Species includes 21 endemic species from the Skadar Lake basin.[1]
