Looked like the road running next to the house might be it but it was so overgrown we decided to turn around and came down Panther Creek Rd which we had taken on the way up.
Now I'm looking at the google maps and they show that road stopping at show dog guy's house but my City Nav 2013 in Basecamp shows it going through to 215.
With satellite view in GM I can see the road but it looks like it might have washed out on the side of the mountain.
Just wondering if it goes all the way through.
Here's the spot
My 2005 Ozark Forest Service map shows it as a dirt road 1417 and that it does go through.
We have run into situations such as this before and here you have to be real careful as some of this asscockfacses seem to "claim" the road and close it off. If you are stopped by them and happen not manage to get shot, place a call to the county sheriffs dept and have them come out and set the asscockface right...or you could be all nice and such and ask for permission to continue, not likely you'll get it tho...

The implementation is planned over three-phases. Upon completion A. Harvey will be able to include RFID tags on high value assets within containers and achieve complete supply chain visibility. In addition, the solution will be integrated into A. Harvey's existing ERP system. "We are excited to be working with IDBLUE, an experienced RFID expert in the oil and gas and marine industries, on this project," said Bill Bulzoni, Director of Business Development for Zebra Enterprise Solutions.

Gorgeous springtime blossoms…fantastic fall color…tasty winter berries: When it comes to shrubs, these come to mind first. But superb summertime blooms? Yes, actually! You can find a whole slew of shrubs that flower in summer, which makes them outstanding nectar sources for hummingbirds. So we couldn't think of a more fitting issue than our annual hummingbird special for our Top 10 summer-blooming shrubs. Add a couple of these summer-blooming shrubs to your backyard, and you'll keep the hummingbirds (and butterflies) happy for years to come.
(Philadelphus, Zones 3 to 8)
Once you see mockorange, you've got to have it. In early summer, the shrubs bear gorgeous pure white flowers that last for weeks and smell delicious. Most grow up to 6 feet tall, but you can also find compact or dwarf varieties. Grow in full sun.
Favorites: Look for Snow White Sensation, with its resplendent double blooms. It will flower in late spring or early summer and then will bloom again later in the season.

Pharmaceutical companies alone will face $16.7 billion in new taxes over the next 10 years. Does anyhone seriously think they are going to swallow that expense?
They will pass it on in higher prices, and save where they can by making fewer drugs, particularly for Medicaid patients because Obamacare also forces them to discount the drug price 23 percent. The same thing will occur with medical device manufacturers, who also face huge new Obamacare taxes. There's no free lunch.
These costs will either be passed on to patients and insurance buyers, or avoided by cutting back production and distribution. It's either higher costs or less access. It's unavoidable.
Let's see what the man President Obama nominated to head the council on Medicaid and Medicare says about the inevitable rationing of health care under Obamacare: "The decision is not whether or not we will ration care - the decision is whether we will ration with our eyes open."
Berwick is a fan of Britain's national health care rationing, which incidentally, resulted in 20,000 in need of coronary bypass surgery, and up to 15,000 in need of cancer chemotherapy being denied medical attention. Pipe's book, The Truth About Obamacare, cites Britain's Rarer Cancer Forum's report that 20,000 patients died prematurely after beign denied cancer medications by the government.
Let's not forget the trend already in motion that Obamacare will accelerate. In 2008 the Physicians' Foundation found 12 percent of doctors already had closed their practices to Medicare patients. That's Medicare, not Medicaid.
Obamacare's numerous mandates also will drive prices up. It strains economic credulity to believe doctors and hospitals will charge the same or less when they must provide more. Then there are the new taxes on everything from wheelchairs to prescription drugs.
Don't forget the direct increase in Medicare payroll taxes on individuals and small businesses.
Just a few more points: Insurers' costs will increase by $8 billion a year beginning in 2014 and then $14.3 billion four years later. The average increase to a family insurance plan will be $476 a year, according to Price Waterhouse.

White Sox outslugged by Angels, 12-9
ANAHEIM, Calif. After putting nine runs on the board, the Chicago White Sox were still lamenting the six baserunners they stranded in the first three innings against Joe Blanton. Those missed opportunities ultimately came back to haunt them.
Hector Gimenez had four hits and three RBIs, but Hector Santiago was chased in the fourth inning and three relievers struggled in a 12-9 loss to the Los Angeles Angels on Saturday that ended Chicago's four-game losing streak.
"We had some opportunities early in the game, but we didn't capitalize on them," slugger Adam Dunn said. "When you score runs early when you have opportunities, it takes a lot of pressure off not only your team, but puts a lot of pressure on the other team."
Paul Konerko and Alexei Ramirez had three hits apiece for the White Sox, who allowed 10 runs during their winning streak. Dunn drove in two runs before leaving in the fifth because of back spasms.
Blanton escaped the first inning unscathed by striking out Dunn and Konerko. In the second, the right-hander fielded a high chopper by Dewayne Wise and threw him out. In the third, Blanton got out of the jam by striking out Conor Gillaspie with his 50th pitch.
"He made a couple of pitches to limit the damage and keep his team in it. Then their offense came alive and it turned out to be kind of a slugfest," Konerko said. "It was a long tough game and a tough one to lose. But the guys had some good at-bats. We pieced together some hits in the eighth and made them bring their closer in - and although we didn't win, that could have an effect on tomorrow's game. Who knows?"
Blanton threw another 28 pitches in the fourth, hitting Ramirez with two out to load the bases. Ramirez, who singled his first two times up, glared at Blanton and had some words for him before he was practically escorted to first base by umpire James Hoye.
Ramirez's disposition improved considerably when Alex Rios bounced a two-run double off the glove of leaping third baseman Alberto Callaspo, and Dunn followed with a two-run single.
Dunn then left in the bottom of the fifth because of back spasms.
"I felt it in the on-deck circle before my last at-bat," Dunn said. "I was going through my same stretching routine, and when I came up it just grabbed. I didn't take any warm-up swings. I don't think I've ever had a back spasm before, and I didn't really know what it was. My big concern after that was defensively. I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to get down to get a ground ball - or even worse, get up to do something with it. It never did loosen up."
Nate Jones (0-4), who came in after Santiago was knocked out in the fourth, allowed four runs and three hits in 3 1-3 innings.
Los Angeles broke it open in the seventh against Donnie Veal, who was just recalled from Triple-A Charlotte. Callaspo greeted the left-hander with a drive to left for his third homer, and No. 9 hitter J.B. Shuck made it 10-4 with a two-run double.

Ravens return from break to prepare for Chiefs
OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP)
Following a stretch of four games in 18 days, three straight days off for the Baltimore Ravens felt like a summer vacation.
Baltimore (3-1) last played Thursday night, beating Cleveland 23-16, and didn't return to the practice field until Monday.
''We came out and got a good little practice in today,'' cornerback Lardius Webb said. ''The guys were moving around excellent, like we were off four months.''
Coach John Harbaugh knew his players were tired after the game against the Browns, so he ordered them to relax for a few days before turning their attention to Sunday's game against Kansas City. He wanted them refreshed and rejuvenated, and he appeared to get the desired results.
''They were here in great spirits, had a good attitude and were excited to go to work,'' Harbaugh said.
Baltimore's bye week isn't until next month, but this break came at a perfect time for players nursing minor injuries or simply in need of a well-deserved rest.
''It's a positive for us,'' Harbaugh said. ''I am sure the guys took advantage of it.''
The Ravens play three of their next four games on the road. They're 3-1 at home and 0-1 on the road. Although the Chiefs (1-3) have struggled thus far this season, Baltimore has lost six of its last 10 games on the road, including playoffs.
And it gets really loud at Arrowhead Stadium. So loud, Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco might get hoarse calling the signals.
''I remember in the playoffs, one play we were down on the goal line,'' center Matt Birk recalled. ''Obviously, I'm pretty close to Joe before the snap and I could hardly hear him. You just feel the vibration of his voice, that's how loud it is.''
Harbaugh said, ''The times we've played there, it's been really loud. It's one of the great venues in the NFL. It's a beautiful setting, it's traditional and it's really, really red. Our guys will have to be ready for that.''
Operating the no-huddle offense could be a challenge for Flacco. In a 24-23 loss to Philadelphia earlier this season, the Baltimore offense was forced at times to huddle up because the crowd made communication so difficult.
''It's a work in progress,'' Harbaugh said. ''We're not claiming that we're the finished product with our no-huddle by any stretch. But crowd noise is a two-way street. If it's tough on our offense, it's tough on their defense. It's up to us to make it difficult on them.''
While going 4-4 on the road during the regular season last year, Baltimore lost as favorites at Jacksonville and Seattle. Someone suggested to Harbaugh that this might be a trap game, and the coach would have nothing of it.
''They named the movie `Any Given Sunday for a reason,'' he said, noting that the Chiefs outgained San Diego in a 37-20 defeat Sunday.
''Their issue was real simple. Turnovers,'' Harbaugh said. ''So, if they clean that up, obviously they're capable of beating anybody. They were predicted in the preseason to be a playoff team, and they're still the same team. We'll be ready. We're not going to overlook them.''

A Storm Sewer is a system designed to carry rain, snowmelt and drainage. Storm water is carried in underground pipes or in open ditches and discharges directly into streams and lakes. This water is not treated before it reaches a natural body of water. Pollutants that get into storm drains can poison wildlife and eventually find their way into our drinking water. It is important that you never pour anything down a storm drain.
A Sanitary Sewer is a system designed to carry sewage and other wastewater from toilets, sinks and floor drains to a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). At the treatment plant, the wastewater undergoes a series of physical, chemical and biological processes to remove contaminants. Most of Oakland University's campus is served by the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department (DWSD) system. This means our water comes from DWSD water treatment plants and our sewage flows into DWSD wastewater treatment plants.
Most people think that the pollution in our lakes and streams is a result of factories that dump chemicals into the water. The truth is that water pollution comes from a wide variety of sources and even from things we do every day, like drive a car. As rain water flows over our streets, parking lots or lawns, it has the potential to pick up large amounts of damaging pollution from things like fertilizer, road salt and oil. This water then enters our local lakes and streams carrying these or many other potential pollutants. There are many things we can do to minimize this risk.
Oakland University's Storm Water Management Program seeks to:
This website has been created to help members of the Oakland University community understand how the university's storm water system operates, why storm water management is important, and what we can all do at OU and at home to help ensure a cleaner future for our local watershed.
The Clinton River Watershed (CRW) covers 760 square miles of southeast Michigan. It includes more than 1,000 miles of streams and flows 80 miles from its headwaters to Lake St. Clair. The area covered includes most of Macomb County, a large part of Oakland County and smaller areas of Lapeer and St. Clair counties. Currently, the Clinton River is listed as an "Area of Concern" by the EPA.
Areas of Concern are defined as geographic areas that fail to meet the general or specific objectives of the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement (GLWQA). This failure has caused or is likely to cause impairment of beneficial use of the area's ability to support aquatic life. In 1987, the United States and Canada renewed their commitment to the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement. Amongst other objectives, the agreement identified 43 areas of Concern, one of which is the Clinton River Watershed. As it stands now, the CRW is experiencing impairment in 8 of 14 total beneficial use designations. This means that the CRW is experiencing:
After years of study, it has been determined that storm water is the single greatest source of contamination in the Clinton River.
Storm water pollution comes from many different sources including:
Storm water touches everyone so it is important that we all work together to prevent contamination of storm water runoff.
How much do you know about watersheds? Take the Watershed Quiz.
Under these rules, the EPA requires public facilities like OU to develop, implement and enforce storm water management programs designed to reduce the discharge of pollutants to the Maximum Extent Practical (MEP). To achieve these goals, the EPA is requiring each public entity to:

There are no NCAA limits on international student-athletes. There could be significant, if not insurmountable, legal hurdles for the NCAA to try to limit the number of international student-athletes that can receive scholarships on American varsity collegiate tennis teams. An early attempt by the NCAA to do this in the 1970s in track was deemed discriminatory. Several respected experts have recently advised the USTA that the situation is the same pertaining to tennis and other varsity sports today. Neither the USTA (the governing body of tennis in the U.S.) nor the ITA (the governing body of varsity college tennis) has jurisdiction to institute such a prohibition or limitation on its own. At its own discretion, however, any individual college or university could explore its options in this regard. Certainly, the USTA encourages individual coaches, colleges, and universities to actively recruit outstanding young Americans. Further, it should be noted that there have been a number of highly successful collegiate varsity teams comprised of all American players, including some that have won NCAA championships.

Geographic Range
Chauliodus sloani, commonly called Sloane's viperfish or Sloane's fangfish, are known to inhabit almost all marine waters in the temperate and tropical zones. Their range extends from about 63 ° N to 50 ° S. There are a few regions in the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific Ocean north of the equator where there have been no records of Sloane's viperfish (Gibbs, 1984). Chauliodus sloani have been found in the Mediterranean and other adjoining seas as well (Gibbs, 1984). (Gibbs, 1984; )

Chauliodus sloani are primarily bathypelagic fish. The bathypelagic region extends from 1000 to 2000 meters below the surface in the open ocean. They have been collected from a maximum depth of 2800 meters (Butler et al., 2001). Chauliodus sloani engage in asynchronous diel vertical migration which means that during the night they can be found in less deep regions such as the mesopelagic, which generally characterizes the depth range of 200 to 1000 meters (Sutton and Hopkins, 1996). It is thought that Sloane's viperfish prefer regions of higher dissolved oxygen content because other relatives such as Chauliodus pammelas have more highly developed gills (Butler et al., 2001). (Butler, et al., 2001; Sutton and Hopkins, 1996)

Physical Description
Sloane's fangfish are very slender with a maximum length of 35 centimeters (Gibbs, 1984). These iridescent fish come in shades of blue, green, black, or silver. Chauliodus sloani have an adipose fin and a forked caudal fin and their dorsal fin is positioned right behind the head (Gibbs, 1984). Almost all of the fins contain soft rays. The first soft ray of the dorsal fin is elongated and extends to about half the length of the body (McGrouther, 2003). These fish have approximately 2.4 % lipid content in their body (Gibbs, 1984). This low lipid content and the fact that they vertically migrate indicate that Chauliodus sloani probably have some form of swim bladder (Gartner, Crabtree and Sulak, 1997). Members of the genus Chauliodus are believed to eat at least once every 12 days which suggests a relatively low basal metabolic rate (Butler et al., 2001). The lower jaw protrudes beyond the upper jaw and both are lined with fang-like teeth which give the fish its common name. There are rows of 24 or more photophores (light-producing cells) along the lateral and ventral surface of the fish (Butler et al., 2001). They are not sexually dimorphic. (Butler, et al., 2001; Gartner, et al., 1997; Gibbs, 1984; McGrouther, 2003; )

The larvae of Chauliodus sloani are similar in appearance to the leptocephalus of eels and are approximately 6 millimeters long when hatched. When they double in size the pectoral and caudal fins begin to develop (Gibbs, 1984). It is not known how long Chauliodus sloani take to grow from the larval stage to the adult form. (Gibbs, 1984; )
- Development - Life Cycle
- metamorphosis
Hardly anything is known about the mating system of Chauliodus sloani. Factors such as the depth at which they live and the fact that they do not survive very long in captivity make it very difficult to study this behavior (Christophe, Baguet, and Marechal, 1979). (Christophe, et al., 1979)
Very little is known about the reproductive habits of Chauliodus sloani but like many fish they are dioecious (Gibbs, 1984). Sloane's viperfish are not known to be sexually dimorphic since the specimens caught are rarely sexed. Since differences in species-specific photophore stimulations exist, it can be presumed that the light emissions are used in communication activities between individuals such as mate attraction (Christophe, Baguet and Marechal, 1979). Several sources have noted that external spawning takes place in this oviparous species (McGrouther, 2003). Chauliodus sloani are low fecundity organisms (Gibbs, 1984). Spawning probably occurs year round in the species although the larvae are known to be in the highest numbers from January to March (Gibbs, 1984). (Christophe, et al., 1979; Gibbs, 1984; McGrouther, 2003; )

Like other types of reproductive characteristics, very little information has been gathered in respect to the parental investment of Chauliodus sloani.
Due to the difficulty of studying them in the wild, there is very little data on the lifespan of Sloane's viperfish. Studies of the bands in the otoliths (plates in the inner ear) have yielded an estimated longevity of 15 to 30 years for most deep-sea fishes. However, it's difficult to know whether these bands occur strictly at annual intervals (Haedrich, 1997). Chauliodus sloani specimens have been contained in captivity for as long as 12-18 hours (Christophe, Baguet and Marechal, 1979). (Christophe, et al., 1979; Haedrich, 1997)

Chauliodus sloani inhabit depths that make them very difficult to study. For this reason, very little is known about their behavior. As mentioned above, they vertically migrate during the night. Many fish do this to improve their chances of finding food and to avoid predators that could normally see them during the day. However, in an asynchronous diel pattern, only some individuals migrate and the depths of migration may vary. It is noted that larger specimens of Chauliodus sloani tend to reside at a greater average depth than smaller specimens (Butler et al., 2001). (Butler, et al., 2001)
- Key Behaviors
- natatorial
- diurnal
- nocturnal
- motile
- solitary
Home Range
Chauliodus sloani are not known to have a specific home range. This is due to the difficulty in studying them in their own environment.
Communication and Perception
Since the eyes are rather large in Sloane's viperfish, it is presumed that they have retained use of sight as a form of perception (Gartner, Crabtree and Sulak, 1997). Chauliodus sloani, like other deep-water fish, also probably make use of their bioluminescent photophores to communicate with other conspecifics (Christophe, Baguet and Marechal, 1979). (Christophe, et al., 1979; Gartner, et al., 1997)
- Other Communication Modes
- photic/bioluminescent
Food Habits
Sloane's viperfish have some characteristics typical of deep-water fishes which aid in acquiring food in regions of low light. These features include a straight intestine and an elongated, distensible stomach (Gartner, Crabtree and Sulak, 1997). They also have a relatively large gape, and hinged fangs. This specialized dentition can rotate inward to prevent prey from escaping and ease its passage into the gullet (Gartner, Crabtree and Sulak, 1997). Another feature that is unique to the genus Chauliodus is a hinged connection between the skull and backbone that rotates the skull upward to allow further manipulation of large prey into the throat (Gartner, Crabtree and Sulak, 1997). Chauliodus sloani prey on a variety of nektonic, planktonic, and benthic organisms. This includes other bony fishes and crustaceans. Some examples of nektonic prey include Cyclothone, Bregmaceros, Diaphus, Lampanyctus, and Myctophum (Gibbs, 1984). Larger specimens of Sloane's fangfish are believed to be exclusively piscivorous while the smaller or younger fish consume a higher ratio of marine arthropods (Butler et al., 2001). Chauliodus sloani are known to be able to prey on fish that are 63 % of their own body length (Butler et al., 2001). These fish acquire food by arching their elongated first dorsal ray over the head and in front of the mouth as a lure (Gartner, Crabtree and Sulak, 1997). They may use their photophores to attract prey as well (McGrouther, 2003). As asynchronous diel migrators, they are presumed to wait at depths that act as common passages for other vertical migrators and catch prey as they ascend to feed (Gartner, Crabtree and Sulak, 1997). (Butler, et al., 2001; Gartner, et al., 1997; Gibbs, 1984; McGrouther, 2003; )
- Animal Foods
- fish
- aquatic crustaceans
Chauliodus sloani are preyed upon by larger bathy- and mesopelagic nekton. Remains of Sloane's viperfish have been found in the stomach of Coryphaena hippurus, some mammalian dolphins (Lagenodelphis, Stenella) and various sharks (Centroscymnus, Galeus). Many species of the family Merlucciidae have been known to prey on Chauliodus sloani as well (Gibbs, 1984). The dark colorings and lack of light at very great depths are the only known sources of protection against predators. These anti-predator characteristics couple with an asynchronous pattern of diel migration to help Chauliodus sloani avoid being eaten (Butler et al., 2001). (Butler, et al., 2001; Gibbs, 1984; )
- Anti-predator Adaptations
- cryptic
- Known Predators
- common dolphinfish (Coryphaena hippurus)

- blackmouth catsharks (Galeus melastomus)
- portuguese dogfish (Centroscymnus coelolepis)
- coster dories (Allocyttus verrucosus)
- orange roughy (Hoplostethus atlanticus)
Ecosystem Roles
Sloane's fangfish function as higher-trophic level predators in their ecosystem (Gartner, Crabtree, and Sulak, 1997). They are considered to be very important contributors to the predation on myctophids (Butler et al., 2001). Chauliodus sloani serve as prey for the few types of organisms mentioned above. (Butler, et al., 2001; Gartner, et al., 1997)
- Ecosystem Impact
- keystone species
Economic Importance for Humans: Positive
Chauliodus sloani have no known positive impact on humans. Their deep water range limits any type of contact with humans on a regular basis other than the few that are caught in deep water trawls. Since they are among the most common stomiids caught, they provide an opportunity for research on bioluminescence in the deep sea and the behavior of other deep-sea fish (Sutton and Hopkins, 1996). (Sutton and Hopkins, 1996)
- Positive Impacts
- research and education
Economic Importance for Humans: Negative
Despite their fearsome appearance, Chauliodus sloani are considered to be harmless to humans. As noted above, this is due to the rare occurrence of contact with humans (Gibbs, 1984). (Gibbs, 1984; )
Conservation Status
Chauliodus sloani are not on the IUCN Red List and are not known to have any specific conservation status (Gibbs, 1984). It would be suspected that due to the deep-water range of this stomiid, it is very difficult to characterize the overall population of this species. There is probably very little impact from humans that would cause any negative conservation status for Chauliodus sloani. (Gibbs, 1984; )

Other Comments
Sloane's viperfish were first identified by Bloch and Schneider in 1801 (McGrouther, 2003). The genus name Chauliodus (for which nine different species are known) comes from the Greek words chaulios which means "open-mouthed" and odous which refers to "teeth" (Gibbs, 1984).

Forrester Study: Cost Savings with SAP HANA
(ENP Newswire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) ENP Newswire - 20 June 2014 Release date- 19062014 - A study by Forrester Research finds that the SAP HANA platform can save more than 70% on software.
In September 2013, SAP commissioned Forrester Research to conduct a cost analysis based on its Total Economic Impact (TEI) methodology to show how implementing the SAP HANA platform can help enterprises cut both their IT expenditure and their business overhead. Forrester developed the TEI methodology to provide a means for companies to more effectively align technical decisions with business requirements: Commissioned by SAP, the study was designed to give enterprises an idea of how much it will cost to implement SAP HANA and of how much they could save by doing so.
The study was based on two elements: first, interviews with customers that have extensive experience of working with SAP HANA platform, and, second, surveys completed by other SAP users and experts. Forrester used the results of the interviews and surveys to construct a compositive total cost model showing the potential savings and benefits to be gained by replacing a traditional database with SAP HANA in various SAP landscapes: with SAP Business Warehouse (SAP BW) powered by SAP HANA, SAP ERP powered by SAP HANA, or a custom application. For each landscape, Forrester calculated the costs of both a traditional database and of SAP HANA and compared the total cost of ownership.
Software costs reduced by more than 70% The strength of the SAP HANA platform lies in its ability to simplify. As such, it reduces the need for additional hardware and software and boosts productivity in both development and system maintenance. In fact, as Forrester found, enterprises opting to implement SAP HANA can expect to see their software costs fall by more than 70%, their hardware costs by 15%, and their administration and development costs by 20%.
To construct a financial model using its TEI methodology, Forrester designed a composite organization based on characteristics of the interviewed companies: a manufacturing firm located in the United States with a workforce of 40,000. A company similar to the one represented in Forrester's financial model could expect to realize the following savings by switching to SAP HANA: For the purposes of the cost analysis, the assumption is that the company switches from SAP BW to the SAP HANA platform in the first year and then switches SAP ERP and the custom application in the second and third years respectively.
SAP HANA platform is strong on simplification According to the information Forrester gathered during the interviews, businesses that implement the SAP HANA platform can expect to: Cut their hardware costs: SAP HANA compresses large data volumes and hikes performance, thereby reducing server and data storage requirements Reduce their software costs: Enterprises can reduce the use of various data processing, ETL processing, management, and interim products or eliminate them completely. SAP HANA also provides extended analysis capabilities - in the form of text, geospatial, and predictive analytics - for no additional license fee.
Accelerate development: All interviewees confirmed that automation and reduced complexity had made their application development processes faster and more efficient.
Increase administrator productivity: Thanks to a simplified IT landscape, customers spend less time creating, optimizing, and managing databases and servers.

Measles Rash
Immunization fears lead to another outbreak among New York's ultra-Orthodox
Measles is one of those childhood diseases that, like polio, has been all but eradicated in the United States, thanks to decades of aggressive government vaccination efforts. But New York's ultra-Orthodox neighborhoods are suffering through their second outbreak in as many years—the direct result of large numbers of unvaccinated children being exposed to regular visitors from the far-flung corners of the Hasidic world, where measles still exists.
Health officials say that ultra-Orthodox parents in Brooklyn are as susceptible as their crunchier counterparts to the belief that there may be a causal link between the measles-mumps-rubella vaccine and autism. (Public health officials say there is no evidence to support the claim.) The kids of most skeptics serve as free riders, staying clear of the infection because most other children they come in contact with are vaccinated and safe. But the tendency of Hasidic parents to wait far beyond the recommended 12-month vaccination deadline produces a large pool of potential victims for viruses trafficked by unvaccinated—and frequently visiting—kids from Israel and Europe. "Herd immunity can't protect you if you've got a case in there and a large pocket of unvaccinated people," said Jane Seward, deputy director of the division of viral diseases of the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta. "It just ignites."
Health officials haven't been able to identify the source of this year's infections, which have cropped up in Borough Park and Williamsburg, two of Brooklyn's most observant neighborhoods. Investigators believe it could have been introduced by travelers from Antwerp or London, both cities with large ultra-Orthodox communities and endemic measles. A dozen people, including nine children between eight months and four years old, have fallen ill so far.
Last year's outbreak, New York's largest in 15 years, produced more than two dozen victims. A handful of visitors from Israel, which was in the midst of a months-long outbreak that sickened more than 1,000 people, brought the disease with them and passed it on, mainly to unvaccinated toddlers. The rash of infections was concentrated in Borough Park, but the scare spread to a Long Island mall and to a wedding hall in Rockland County, north of New York City.
Outbreaks have cropped up elsewhere. Last year, a dozen children in San Diego were infected (and dozens more quarantined) after an unvaccinated child returning from a family vacation in Switzerland passed the disease on to classmates whose parents had refused to inoculate in their all-organic earnestness.
But New York, unlike California, doesn't allow parents to exempt their children from vaccination on the basis of personal belief, and 92 percent of children, including those in the ultra-Orthodox community, are vaccinated by the time they reach school age. New York health officials say they are instead seeing a watered-down version of the anti-vaccination trend, in which parents don't inoculate until they can be sure their children don't have autism, at around age two or three. "Out of an abundance of caution they just wait," said Jane Zucker, New York City's assistant commissioner for immunization. "They're happy to get the child vaccinated for school but not before." That risk is then exacerbated by a widespread reliance on homeopathic medicine and, in some cases, lax oversight by private yeshiva schools, said Moshe Tendler, Yeshiva University's professor of Jewish medical ethics.
Zucker said she was satisfied with compliance from Jewish schools, and said her office has distributed flyers in ultra-Orthodox neighborhoods and cultivated help from community members to encourage parents to vaccinate on time, when their children are about a year old. Within the local ultra-Orthodox community, some lay the blame on their Israeli counterparts, whose long history of resistance to government-mandated programs includes vaccination drives, and was a factor in the outbreak that began in 2007 in Jerusalem and Bnei Brak, before spreading to New York last year. "It all started when the Yerishalmys [Jerusalemites] refused to take shots to prevent it from spreading further," wrote one commenter last year on the Yeshiva World News website, triggering a heated debate.
But Tendler said it was ultimately the responsibility of parents to follow best medical practice for their children. "If they don't vaccinate, they are in violation of Torah law by not following the best medical advice," he said. "The responsibility of the parent is to listen to the doctor and then pray to God, because to pray to God and not listen to the doctor is not going to help."

Doc Emrick on D&C: 'I think [Bruins] will win this one tonight'
|06.13.11 at 10:57 am ET
Stanley Cup finals play-by-play announcer Doc Emrick checked in with the Dennis & Callahan show Monday morning to offer his thoughts on Game 6. To hear the interview, go to the Dennis & Callahan audio on demand page.
Emrick picked the Bruins to win Monday night.
'I think the more desperate team stands to win,' Emrick said, adding: "The memory of Boston games here against Vancouver is a pretty strong and emphatic one. These were not close games. All three of the ones in Vancouver were one-goal games. So, I fully expect, I would not be shocked to look back at Vancouver for a Game 7.'
Emrick added that Game 7s are a 'dice roll.'
'Pawtucket could beat the BoSox in a Game 7,' he said. 'You get a couple of breaks, and all of a sudden you're in there and you're winning a game. The Bruins have been the underdogs the whole series, and there's nothing says they can't win a Game 7. I think they will win this one tonight, but there's nothing that says they can't take a seventh.'
Emrick said that plays like Alex Burrows' bite and Aaron Rome's illegal hit, regardless of how dirty they might have really been, have been useful in generating fan support for the Bruins.
'You don't have to stretch too far to find villains in this one compared to others,' Emrick said. 'I think the nature of the fouls and the grievances are the thing that make it unique compared to others. We haven't had this many penalty minutes in a finals series in over 20 years.'
Emrick called diving 'one of those embarrassing penalties,' but added that of the 801 penalties called this year, only eight have been for diving.
Of Roberto Luongo's comments on Tim Thomas, Emrick said he wondered why Luongo 'would even mention the other goaltender, or why he wouldn't say something like, 'You know, those boards are lively, a guy can get caught like that.' '
'I think it was probably blown out of great proportion, but players have to be so careful about giving bulletin board material to anyone else,' Emrick said. He also said he didn't think Vancouver fans know what to expect from Luongo.
Emrick credited the Bruins shutting down Vancouver's Henrik and Daniel Sedin to looking at film from the Canucks-Predators series.
'The difference is that Nashville did not have the offense like the Bruins have potentially,' Emrick said.
Emrick said he had expected home-ice advantage to give way to carryover momentum between individual games, but the players may not be thinking that way.
'I remember Andrew Ference saying earlier in the series that the task for us is just being able to eliminate carryover,' Emrick said. 'So if they're consciously trying to block it out, they're doing a great job.'

It is important for teachers to have a command of the skills and knowledge necessary to teach the arts. The best curriculum guides and resources are not enough to safeguard the arts in education. Teacher training can help.
Although some teachers are motivated to strengthen their professional abilities through self-study, the majority of them are already overworked and hard-pressed to keep up with current tasks and responsibilities. Successfully introducing new ideas, programs or teaching strategies is almost impossible for teachers who already do not have enough time in the school day.
Schools and districts that want strong arts programs need to provide their teachers with professional development on a regular basis. School administrators should either carve out time during the school day for in-school teacher training or provide compensation to teachers who invest their personal time. Examples of different professional development opportunities include after-school and weekend workshops, daylong sessions during the school year, summer programs, extension and continuing education courses, and higher degrees in education and/or the arts.
These types of opportunities in turn teach classroom teachers and arts specialists basic techniques, methodology, and interdisciplinary applications in arts education. Through professional development, participants also learn how to work together on in-school and community collaborations in order to enhance the educational environment of their students.

This March, entrepreneur Ken Cation will launch Strip-Arcade–a live webcam service where game developers can publish and get paid, and webcam models are rated based on how active (rather than attractive) they are.
Strip-Arcade is an interactive webcam service where users can play online Flash games with webcam models. Users join Strip-Arcade for free and pay to play games with the models, who earn 50%. If the user wins the game, the model will perform privately for him and he will tip her an agreed upon amount. Games are submitted by Flash developers, and Strip-Arcade is open to every game developer in the world to publish their games. Each time a game is played, the developer of that game earns 5%.
Strip-Arcade is open to male and female models of all shapes and sizes, as long as the model meets age restrictions (18 years old). Instead of the traditional webcam model categorization of "hot or not," Strip-Arcade uses an automatic rating system which ranks models based on how active they are. Cation explained to me, "this will allow the model-base to grow more organically instead of simply filtering out the models that some players don't find attractive. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, of course."
