Monday, May 05, 2014
A healthcare professional from Indiana came down with Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS), a deadly respiratory virus, last week after returning from a trip to Saudi Arabia. This is the first case of MERS reported in the United States. His condition is improving, according to his doctors who are monitoring him at Community Hospital in Munster, Indiana, and he doesn't seem to have infected anyone else. Here's what you need to know about MERS, the SARS-like virus that he's battling.
1. It's very unlikely that you'll get it. Even though MERS has been making headlines since the first reported case in Jordan in April 2012, there have only been 401 confirmed cases globally. All known cases have resulted from individuals either being in the Middle East, visiting the Middle East, or caring for someone who contracted the virus while visiting the Middle East. The Indiana man did travel on a plane and bus during his trip home, but none of his fellow passengers have reported illness. Though the disease can pass between humans, so far that's only happened in instances of extreme close contact.
2. But if you do, it's pretty dangerous. Of the 401 people who have contracted the virus, 93 have died from the disease, giving MERS a much higher mortality rate than Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) or the flu. Currently, there is no standard treatment for the disease, either. The virus largely affects the respiratory system, so doctors focus on helping patients breathe safely, maintaining key organ functions, and managing symptoms while they fight off the disease. The main symptoms of the disease are fever, coughing and shortness of breath. Anyone who is experiencing these symptoms should see their doctor if they've traveled to the Middle East in the past 12 weeks, or come in close contact with someone who has.
3. MERS is a coronavirus like SARS, but it's not SARS. Coronaviruses are a group of RNA viruses that include MERS, SARS and most cases of the common cold. They affect humans and many animals, and in some cases are thought to jump between humans to animals. For example, researchers believe that both SARS and MERS originated in bats, and MERS possibly spread to humans through camels. When SARS surfaced in China in 2002, it spread more quickly, eventually infecting over 8,000 people and killing 750. MERS is more deadly than SARS, but it's also less likely to spread.
RELATED: What Happened to SARS?
4. There isn't a MERS or SARS vaccine. Public health efforts to stop the spread of SARS succeeded, but there is still no vaccine for the disease. There isn't a vaccine for MERS yet either, though researchers are starting to explore the possibility.
5. You can still travel to the Middle East. While Saudi Arabia put out a travel warning for anyone coming in to their country in the summer of 2013, the Centers for Disease Control has not urged people to stay away from the region. If you do plan to travel, taking precautions like hand washing; not touching your mouth, nose or ears; and avoiding sick people should help you stay safe. The virus is more likely to affect older people, particularly if they have another condition that is affecting their health.

Women's institutes
Published at 07:40, Wednesday, 05 February 2014
THE January meeting started on a sad note because of the loss of one of their longstanding members, Joy Finney.
Joy was a past president and had undertaken almost every role on the committee over the years. She was a great supporter of Women's Institute activities and joined in all sorts of events. A minute's silence was held whilst everyone remembered Joy, at the end of which Jerusalem was sung.
The business part of the meeting was shorter, with the new method of promulgating Women's Institute activities on a notice board.
The ladies were then captivated by a talk about bats given by Tina Whiffen.
Tina, who lives in Humshaugh and works for the Northumberland Bat Group, has an infectious enthusiasm for bats.
Her talk about the types of bats and their activities across Northumberland was supplemented by some excellent photographs.
At the end of her talk, Tina took out of a box a tiny soprano pipistrelle bat, a fascinating little creature with the most soft downy fur.
Perhaps in future the ladies will hope for more bats in the garden after they learned that they eat 3,000 midges a day!
In December, the Christmas party started with a glass of wine and a horticultural-themed quiz, won by Sally Blanckley.
Sonia Rennison produced some delicious and calorie-conscious dishes and desserts and members sang carols before choosing a present from the secret Santa baskets.
Margaret Earl
OVER 90,000 people visited Hexham Abbey last year, according to Derek Harris, as he shared his knowledge of the building dedicated to St Andrew by its founder Wilfrid.
Much of the early construction used Roman stones removed from Corbridge, some still bearing their original carvings.
The Abbey's prominent position within Hexham meant it was a focal point throughout history, with some notable attempts to destroy it.
It continues to be involved with the local community, with exciting plans for its future.
The competition for a postcard of old Hexham was won by Barbara Gibson with a view of the Market Place.
Several members who visited Cresswell House last year praised the warm welcome and good facilities, and encouraged everyone to support the programme of events there.
Julia Woolley
EYES Down for table-top games. For their January meeting, and following the business meeting, members enjoyed a social evening of table-top games.
Members were paired into well-known duos and moved around the tables as the timer sounded.
There was much chatter as the members turned their hands to a 12th Century game from China, known to many as dominoes, and a Hindu game from India, known to many as snakes and ladders.
Other members played Beetle and tried out their artist talents creating a new insect!
All the members felt it was a great way to continue the anniversary year and begin a new calendar year.
During the Christmas meal at December's meeting, members who were celebrating their birthdays in December were presented with the "anniversary" birthday card prepared by Betty Renwick.
Margaret Neil thanked the secretary for making the arrangements for the meal and president Judith Arthur wished members all the compliments of the season.
Margaret Neil
FOLLOWING the singing of Jerusalem, members held a minute's silence in memory of Beryl Graham, a long standing member who died just before Christmas.
Members were given slips to vote on the resolutions for this year's national general meeting.
There were two five-minute speakers. Ann Fenwick spoke affectionately about her fellow room-mates during a recent stay in hospital. One was a lady with a very affected accent and matching nightwear, another a woman with a family who were desperate to have her home to resume cooking the meals.
Jean Dougherty then read a poem she had written about the problems of dieting post-Christmas.
The speaker was Harold Dobson, who gave a very interesting talk on the introduction of red kites to the Derwent Valley in 2004 after an absence of 170 years.
He explained the problems that were encountered at first and showed beautiful photographs of the magnificent birds in flight.
The organisation, Friends of Red Kites, welcomes volunteers to participate in various projects.
AT the December meeting, a full hall guaranteed a festive atmosphere assisted by mulled wine on arrival. Seasonal refreshments were served.
Entertainment was provided by the Ukes of Northumberland, which included two institute members – Jean Dougherty and Polly Samson.
A poem about Ovingham Women's Institute was read by Glynis Hind and to send everyone home in seasonal spirit, members listened to the famous poem Twas the night before Christmas. Everyone received a present from the bran tub before leaving.
Pat Stott
NO speaker and no competition doesn't sound like much fun, but that is exactly what members' night in January was – good fun.
President Barbara Nelson informed members that Riding Mill had done well at the Christmas event at Cresswell House, with three members winning prizes.
Barbara won first prize for her shortbread, with Ros Charman coming second. Jenny Coates won second prize in the short story section with a story entitled, Twas the night before Christmas.
After the conclusion of business, members settled down to listen to prose, poems and ditties read by several members, many of whom had written them as well.
The members then pored over photos of well-known people and attempted to answer questions relating to them.
The evening concluded with the usual cup of tea and biscuits and a lot of chat.
Thursday, February 6, is the Institute's birthday meeting, when the members will be entertained by the Rubato singers.
Members have invited guests, so each member is asked to bring a plate of food for a pooled supper. The competition will be a Valentine item.
THE December meeting was a celebration of the festive season, with entertainment by the Ukes of Northumberland, a ukulele four-piece band.
Members were transported through the decades, around the United Kingdom and beyond, with a fabulous selection of songs ranging from George Formby to the Beatles.
There was a great turnout of invited guests from Corbridge and Lowgate, making it the perfect evening to catch up with friends old and new and a plentiful supper was provided by members.
The competition for a Christmas cracker was won by Penny MacLoughlin with Barbara Nelson second.
The Northumberland Federation carol service at Hexham Abbey was a great success, with several members attending.
Jenny Coates
THE December meeting was the members' annual Christmas meal which was well-attended and everyone enjoyed themselves with all the party decorations and raffles, a lovely end to 2013.
The members have had a very successful year. In October, they were delighted to welcome the Northern Stars Fiction Academy to the hall to film their production of The Anxiety Club directed and produced by budding young film producers.
The hall was used as a base for four days, using one of members and her husband as extras.
It wonderful to see the hall and the library used as backdrops for these talented young people.
The film was premiered at the Electra studio at the Tyneside cinema in December, with 120 people attending.
Three films were shown, including the Heddon film, whose young director was given the award for best director.
It was wonderful to see Heddon Women's Institute, and the library featured in the credits at the end.
The next meeting is the Institute's members' night when the committee will be providing the entertainment.
Olive White
THE members ended the year with a demonstration of making sugarcraft cake decorations.
Each member received their own icing fondant to make their own personal decoration. The result was some very good Christmas trees and poinsettias.
In the making, members had plenty of laughs and, of course, lots of chat.
The Christmas meal was held at the Wheatsheaf Hotel in the village, which was enjoyed by 23 members.
Members visited the Theatre Royal, Newcastle, and had plenty of laughs at the pantomime Jack and the Beanstalk.
The New Year was heralded in by a party,which consisted of a quiz, making a paper hat and followed by a delicious afternoon tea.
Corbridge Women's Institute wishes all other Institutes a happy and successful New Year.
Suzette Milne
ON a gloomy, wet January evening our first meeting of 2014 was enlightened with an excellent talk by Hugh Richardson from Wheelbirks farm.
Hugh explained his family history in farming from the 1880s when his ancestor David Richardson, an industrialist in Newcastle, bought the land near Stocksfield.
He told members that the workers from Newcastle came out to the farm for picnics every summer for fresh air and a sanatorium was built for the recovery of patients with TB.
Later, Hugh's grandfather, Colin, took the farm on and started milking cows. Over the years, the family has tried many crops, including potatoes, barley, wheat and oil seed rape.
Nowadays, Hugh farms with his brother, Tom, and grows barley and has one of the top Jersey herds in the country.
Since foot and mouth, the brothers have diversified into ice cream and now have an ice cream parlour serving a wide range of flavours. Hugh was thanked on behalf of the members by Ann Paton.
The competition was for an ice cream recipe. Jean Gordon took first place with a rhubarb and custard flavour. Second place went to president Maureen Stevens, with her cranberry and limoncello flavour, and third place went to Lynn Mould with her ginger, honey meringue and chocolate flavour. Yum yum.
Next month is members' night and new members are always welcome.
At December's meeting, members celebrated Christmas with a meal and entertainment in the parish hall.
The committee provided the main course of meats, salmon and salads, while other members brought wonderful desserts and mince pies.
The hall had been tastefully decorated for Christmas by members of the committee and the meal was followed by entertainment from the Rubarto Singers from Minsteracres.
The evening ended with everyone receiving a present from secret Santa.
Lynda white
THE December meeting, which was rearranged to miss New Year celebrations, included a fascinating talk by Flora Dixon on Walking the Pacific Way, which is also a riding trail of 2,650 miles from Santiago, Mexico, to the north of the United States, which took her husband and herself from April to September 20, walking an average of 20 miles per day while carrying everything they needed on their backs.
Life was reduced to basics, but thoughts of food and water, also carried, kept them going. No water in the deserts, so washing was abandoned. Everyone smelled dreadful, so much so that a small child, whose mother gave them a lift, complained bitterly of the awful smell in the car.
Fiona told members that of 340 walk starters a year, only 60 complete the trail.
After the heat and deserts of California, Oregon was much lusher, but with mountains that made ours sound like molehills. Some desert hills were 6,000 to 7,000 ft high and with no water.
The day's walking began at 5am or 6am. In addition to the real risk of being lost in the wilderness, they met bears, necessitating hanging food from trees, a rattlesnake barring their way and scorpions, etc.
They were warned not to attempt climbing mountains after 2pm, because of late weather conditions and ease of being lost, a terrifying experience for them.
Blisters too were a big problem, but duct tape proved the best treatment.
The drank black coffee, as American tea bags were so awful.
Once home again, they really appreciated chairs, beds and baths.
Diana Woodhall
ANNE Tullock welcomed members and guests to the Christmas meeting and congratulated Alison Scrimshaw on winning the Christmas wreath class at Cresswell House earlier in the month.
Carols were sung and, as members had decided to stay at home for their Christmas party, caterer Ian Coulson made sure they didn't regret their decision.
He provided a wonderful supper of cold meats and salads, followed by delicious desserts.
The following day, members attended the annual carol service at Hexham Abbey – always a popular outing.
Barbara Robinson
THE Christmas party proved a memorable evening thanks to Fiona Lander and Paul Mason who performed traditional and contemporary folk music involving jazz and other musical styles.
Landermason showed their versatility and talent as they sang songs ranging from their own arrangement of When the boat comes in to Silent Night.
There was also lively accompaniment from saxophone, whistles, keyboard and guitar, as well as audience participation.
After such an energetic performance, Fiona and Paul joined everyone for the splendid supper provided by the members.
DURING a Christmas card- making workshop, Joyce Simm explained the history behind the giving and receiving of cards.
As no two cards made during the session were the same, it was a difficult task to decide the winner of the competition.
This was finally judged to have been created by Sheona Wardle, with Moira Howard's effort in second place.
At the Christmas party, a meal of cold meats, salads and sweets was provided by the committee.
The competition for a Christmas poem, which involved members reading out their verse, was won by Eileen Martin with her dramatic rendition of Little Red Riding Hood and Jane Brown who wrote The Weight Watchers' Christmas Lament.
The evening ended with carol singing accompanied by Francis Wise on the keyboard.

TV Weekend | 'The Sopranos'
Bullies, Bears and Bullets: Its Round 5
By ALESSANDRA STANLEY
Published: March 5, 2004
HBO's new season of "The Sopranos" opens Sunday night with an extended, mournful tour of the exterior of the Soprano mini-mansion in New Jersey, lingering over dead leaves, abandoned patio furniture and other signs of neglect and loss.
Fans of the series know that Tony Soprano was thrown out by Carmela at the end of last season and will not be shuffling out the front door in his bathrobe anymore. And just as the camera closes in on the morning newspaper rustling woefully at the end of the drive, a beat-up Mustang convertible careers up, crushing the paper beneath its wheels.
The rude arrival of Meadow Soprano, honking impatiently to summon her younger brother, Anthony Jr., is a cuff to the head of any viewer sucked into taking the show's moody psychological layers too seriously.
"The Sopranos" returns for a fifth season with all of its early verve and none of the torpor that weighed the show down last year. Its creator, David Chase, is cocky: the first episode posits a bear that wanders into the Sopranos' backyard, terrifying A. J. and Carmela. The furry intrusion signals that things are about to get wild in this ruptured family, that the breakup has unleashed forces beyond their control. But it also contrasts rather comically with the ducks that so lyrically flew away from the Sopranos' backyard pool in the first season, driving a bereft Tony into therapy.
Most of all, the bear is a rather crude reminder to viewers: "The Sopranos" is no ordinary television show.
But of course the pleasure of the series is that for all its subtleties and license with language, sex and violence, "The Sopranos" is a television drama, one that follows the basic formula even as it riffs. An intimate moment follows an action scene, a horrible act is leavened with comic relief. Devotees keep ramping up the comparisons to Shakespeare or Tolstoy. On "Star Trek," the interpersonal strains on the U.S.S. Enterprise were pushed aside whenever a new planet came into view; on "The Sopranos," the family melodrama never entirely eclipses the family business.
The crime series mostly stands apart by virtue of its knowingness — the series laughs at itself before anyone can take it too seriously. In the third episode of the new season, Uncle Junior, now almost senile, stares at the bald, bespectacled Larry David on the HBO comedy "Curb Your Enthusiasm" and thinks he is seeing himself. "Why am I on there?" he hollers at the set in pained confusion.
Tony and Carmela, separated but still sparring, are back at the center of the story, but new characters, many of them newly released convicts who were sent away during the 1980's crackdown on organized crime, bring new troubles to the family. Steve Buscemi ("Ghost World" ) plays a cousin, Tony Blundetto, who emerges from a long stretch in jail intent on going straight — as a massage therapist. Robert Loggia is Feech la Manna, a former boss who cannot wait to grab back his old turf. There is also a Mafiosa, a bookie in leather and plunging necklines, who, it turns out, is not tough enough. When she crosses a line, a rival goon ties her to a chair and shoots into her chest through a telephone book.
Tony is distracted and disoriented by the prospect of divorce. ("You're not the only Catholic here," he shouts at Carmela. "I'm old school.") One night, leaving the bed of his mistress (he really is old school), he catches sight of an old Nick Nolte movie on television, "The Prince of Tides," which starred Barbra Streisand as the sexy, sympathetic psychiatrist he loves. ("Her questions were making me as dizzy as her perfume," Mr. Nolte says in a voiceover.)
Tony sits down again to watch Mr. Nolte rage at Ms. Streisand in her office, his face lit by a small, delighted smile.
Soon, he begins courting his former therapist, Dr. Jennifer Melfi, sending her a huge bouquet of roses and a box of Tide detergent. (The card reads: "Thinking of you. Your Prince of Tide.") She rebuffs him, despite what she describes as their "mutual sympathy." The reasons she gives Tony, that he is untruthful, disrespectful of women, a bully who imposes his will by force and does terrible things, echoes the audience's ambivalence: Tony is appealing, seductive, but ultimately repellent. At her first harsh word, he storms out, hurling epithets that can be used only on cable.
But it's the hairline antipathies, carefully drawn and brilliantly acted, that distinguish the series. Viewers watched Meadow and Anthony Jr. as they were being badly brought up and can now enjoy the fruits of all that spoiling — A. J.'s sullen hostility to his mother is a chilling N.J. version of "The O.C." And Carmela, a pampered Mafia wife, never loses her prosaic housewife's thrift. "New drums, just like that?" she hisses at Tony, angry that he is trying to buy his son's loyalty. "You don't even look in the classifieds?"
Everyone's loyalty is questionable, but no one is more torn than Adriana, the fiancée of Tony's nephew Christopher. She was turned into an informant by the F.B.I. last season. One of the show's most memorable moments came when Adriana was pressed into service at F.B.I. headquarters — she was so terrified she vomited all over the conference table. This season her guilt is so painful that at a cozy wine party with Carmela and other mob wives, she begins to blurt out a full confession. The tableau of the women's faces, frozen between sisterly concern and feral wariness, holds her back but exposes everything about the tribal rules.

In a bid to make quick money through illegal means, a three-member gang hurled chilli powder on a 63-year-old goldsmith and escaped with 90 sovereigns of gold jewels on Wednesday night.
However, the booty remained with the robbers for a very short period as the victim, in a valiant attempt, chased the gang which was fleeing in an autorickshaw and as he came close to them, raised alarm at a busy location following which a handful of public rushed and caught the accused.
On information, the police patrol team came to the spot and ensured that the robbers were caught with the stolen jewels near TNSTC depot on Bypass Road.
Explaining the 'robbery drama' to the reporters, police officers at the South Gate police station said that Sankaran (63), son of Rathnavel Asari of TNHB Colony, was returning home from his shop at Pacharisikara Street with 90 sovereigns of gold jewellery on his two-wheeler around 9.30 p.m.
As he was nearing home, the three robbers, whom he could identify, hurled the chilli powder, shoved him down and decamped with the jewels along with his two-wheeler.
Despite being attacked, the goldsmith chased the robbers in an autorickshaw. The robbers, who were engaged in a wordy altercation with a motorist in the middle of the road after they collided, were caught. The public also overpowered them and dialled the police.
Commissioner of Police Sanjay Mathur honoured the two public — Aswak Hussain and Nagoor Kani — 0for their efforts in nabbing the robbers who were identified as Ganesan (36), son of Arumugam of Alagaradi Third Street, Raja (25), son of Muthu of Ponnagaram Broadway, and Surendran (24), son of Subramani of Motilal Main Road. Inspector of Police Malaichamy said that the robbers had planned to get rich through a 'shortcut' method.

New Facebook Feature Pays Sales Commissions
Popular social networking site Facebook introduced a application called Market Lodge last week that allows members to set up personalized stores and earn commissions based on sales.
The Market Lodge program, made by Conifer, Colo.-based startup bSocial Networks Inc., is based on the premise that customers are more likely to buy products and services recommended by someone they know.
The application will reward Facebook's roughly 67 million members with a 10 percent commission on all sales generated through their recommendations.
Facebook has made previous attempts to inject commerce attributes to its site. Last year the company introduced a system that broadcasted product endorsements among people who know each other, but the strategy received a user backlash as customers rebelled against the "Beacon" feature that tracked and shared information on purchases made through other Web sites. In the end, Facebook had to provide its users the option to disable Beacon.
But bSocial Networks believes Facebook users will be more receptive to an approach that offers a financial incentive for participating.
To participate in Market Lodge, users customize their own personal stores, choosing from more than 1,200 products sold by about 50 different merchants.
Once a personal store is set up, a user can extend invitations to others in their network to view the store's contents and recommendations. Market Lodge users can even earn commissions from their own purchases through their personal stores.
Inventory, order processing and delivery are handled directly through the merchants, as with any other sale.
"We think this could be very lucrative for Facebook's members," bSocial co-founder Sue Spielman told the Associated Press.
So far over 100 people have signed up for Market Lodge since its launch last week.
Although initially Facebook won't receive a share of the Market Lodge sales, bSocial Networks may consider a revenue-sharing relationship with Facebook and other Web sites interested in the application, Spielman said.
Market Lodge is just one of more than 16,000 applications, commonly called "widgets", that have been designed for Facebook since the company made its Web site available to outside programs. Most of the widgets provide new ways to play games, share photos, music and other interests.
Although wildly popular in terms of membership, to date the online social networking sites have not seen significant financial profits.
Even market-leading Google Inc., which runs the Internet's most popular advertising network, is struggling to finding the best model in its partnership with News Corp.'s MySpace.com, the only social networking site larger than Facebook.
Boulder, Colo.-based White Swan, which sells recorded music, thinks paying Facebook members to generate sales could be more effective than advertising, which can cost up to $15 for every $100 in sales.
"Right now when you do marketing, you are competing with so many voices that it's easy to get lost," Parmita Pushman, White Swan's owner, told Associated Press.
If Market Lodge succeeds, Pushman said she will face a new challenge in persuading more Facebook members to recommend her products in their personal stores.

Given the current cost of materials, such a boat would be extremely expensive. A freind many years ago, priced the cost of fibreglassing materials for a Bristol chanel cutter, Ater being given a quote of $12,000 for hull and decks, he watched me pull a 31ft hull, decks, cabin, wheelhouse, keels, rudder and skeg together in a couple of weeks,for $3500. Then, considering the cost of deck hardware for a fibreglass boat vs $1 a pound for the stainless to do it on a steel boat, he walked away from that project, and has been building steel boats ever since. The price gap is still the same, or greater.
No , I dont think you can avoid the "bad seamanship" of happening to run into Fukashima debris on a foggy night. Plastic under you doesn't automatically make you "luckier".
My boats are fast, go to windward well, and make good passage times. They have often outsailed fibreglass boats they were not supposed to outsail, including Beneteaus. Their strength has been proven beyond all reasonable doubt, over the last 32 years. There is no point in waterproof bulkheads, as there is little if any chance of punching a hole in 3/16th plate on a 36 footer. They have also proven that, with good initial preparation, planning and painting ,maintenance can be reduced to less that of a fibreglass boat undergoing hard , heavy full time use. Nothing breaks, pulls loose, or leaks in welded down gear, unlike with bolted down gear on fibreglass.
If my clients wanted a fibreglass boat, they would have bought a fibreglas boat . Many have, then decided to upgrade to steel. It is no secret to anyone sniffing around boats, that they are available for a fraction the cost of materials, in any size shape and a huge variety of designs. So why would anyone want to pay someone many times the cost of a boat, or decades of cruising funds, for mere drawings of a plastic boat, when so many real boats are availabe so cheap? All my clients know that. They just dont want to risk lives and that of their families, in a plastic boat, which couldn't survive a collision, unharmed, with a large piece of Fukashima debris, like a dock or wreck. Better to have your hull bounce off, unharmed, that to have it stowed in and end up relying on a bulkhead to keep you afloat, in mid ocean. After a long and thorough look at the boat market, they have concluded that the only way to get what they want, and in steel, is to build from scratch. Relatively good plastic boats are a dime a dozen. Designers in that field are currently the equivalent of people selling ice to Greenlanders. Good steel boats are rare around here. For anyone wanting one which doesn't take forever to build , one which uses the most modern methods, I have no competition. Most commercially built sailboats around here are 10 guage plate, right down to the bottom of the keel, painted one side only, zero paint inside, welded one side only, and that weld mostly ground off.
Most of my boats are 3/16th hull plate 1/8th decks, cabin, cockpit, and wheelhouse, 1/4 inch keel sides, half inch leading edges, and half inch bottomplate, welded both sides, cold galvanized wheelabraded and primed, 5 coats of epoxy tar on the outside, three coats of epoxy tar inside, sprayfoamed , and all outside corners trimed with stainless, reducing maintenance by over 80%
You just wont find a commercially built boat around here built to those standards. If anyone did , it would be priced far beyond the means of most cruisers. For a home builder it means a bit of extra time and expense, their own time. For a commercial builder, fully welded, a good paint job inside and out, stainless trim, extra steel thickness in important areas, etc, would mean bankrupcy, and no credit given to him by customers, who have no comprehension of the importance of such matters.
This metal boat had no watertight bulkheads, and the arrogant designers also declared it to be the safest boat every built. In fact one of them is purported to claim boldly that "She cannot be sunk, even GOD cannot sink her".
It is good to learn from your mistakes, but much better to learn from the mistakes of others...

text: The problem of addiction has taken a toll on families in Appalachia. It is widely believed that treatment for addiction is as important and law enforcement to deal with the issue. But a shortage of treatment options is often the roadblock to recovery.Southern West Virginia Community and Technical College is addressing the need for professional counselors who can help addicts get their lives back on track. The college is offering a program that will train people to become a group counselor specializing in addiction.The Appalachian Regional Commission worked with the National Opinion Research Center (NORC) to study drug use in the 410-county Appalachian Region as compared to the rest of the country.The research found opiate abuse is a problem in coal mining areas. Charles Woods, department chair for criminal justice at Southern, said many of those who are addicted to opiates started using painkillers when they were injured on the job.The mental image we have of addicts is simply not true, Woods said. They come from every economic background, every walk of life.The NORC study showed that, while alcohol is still the predominant substance of abuse nationally and in Appalachia, prescription painkiller addiction is in fact a major problem in the area. The data shows admission rates for primary abuse of prescriptions painkillers (opiates and synthetics) are higher in Appalachia than in the rest of the nation. This is especially true in coal-mining areas. Admission rates are rising across the nation, but are rising at a faster pace in Appalachia. Appalachias rate, which doubled from 2000 to 2004, is more than twice the nations.Woods told the Daily News drug abuse is becoming a multi-generational problem, with children being raised by addicted parents and in turn raising their own children within a dysfunctional framework, creating a cycle of drug use that is often impossible to break without intervention and treatment.Dr. Cindy McCoy, academic dean of University Transfer Programs at Southern, said Prestera, a mental health care company, approached the college about developing a program for substance abuse counseling. The need is growing, McCoy said, and the company is working with the college to place graduates of the program in jobs upon completing the program.The certificate program is designed combining traditional and experimental learning, and is offered to students who do not have a degree.The program has been designed combining traditional, theoretical and experimental learning. The required classes can be completed in two years, and the certificate gives graduates the skills needed to work in residential treatment centers serving addiction patients.The A.S. degree requires 68 credit hours, 29 general education hours and 39 hours of advance courses.The program is limited to twenty students, which are accepted in spring and fall semesters. Students who apply to the program are required to submit a 300 word essay explaining why they feel they would succeed as an addiction counselor, a background check and a drug screen.For more information, call Southern at 304-235-6460, McCoy at 304-236-7367, or Woods at 304-896-7386.

Khan al-Khalili
Jaundiced travelers often dismiss the Khan al-Khalili as a tourist trap; there's no ignoring the fact that it's a favored stop of tour buses and has all the associated annoyances (touts and tat) that come with them. But it's worth remembering that Cairenes have plied their trades here since the founding of the Khan in the 14th century - the buying and selling didn't begin with the arrival of the first tour group.
Today the market still plays an important role in the day-to-day commercial life of thousands of locals. In its narrow streets you can buy anything from shoes to souvenirs to clothes, chess sets, cushions, ceramics, brass, gold, silver, rugs, fabrics and on it goes.
Practical Info
The Khan al-Khalili is in the center of Cairo and the easiest way there is to grab a taxi. The most important thing to take with you are your bargaining skills. Leave a few hours to really explore.

Call box company's pay grew as use fell
Castoria is a statewide expert, but councilwoman questions increase
Do you think freeway call boxes still provide a service that justifies their cost?
Yes 32% (1633)
No 57% (2937)
Not sure 11% (573)
5143 total votes.
Call box use drops, funding keeps on growing
Grant program uses city money for rural areas
San Diego agency loses out on futuristic grant
Public funding for the private company that manages San Diego County's roadside call boxes has nearly doubled during the past 10 years, even as the number of calls has fallen 90 percent.
The annual payment to TeleTran Tek Services rose to $402,736 last year from $210,498 in 2000, while roadside calls to the system fell to 11,625 from 106,263.
The call boxes are governed by the San Diego Service Authority for Freeway Emergencies, a board of city and county officials who administer $2.6 million that comes from a fee on vehicle registrations.
Over time, they have added more tasks to their original mission of installing and operating bright-yellow call boxes, such as motorist aid grants to fire agencies. Still, they have built up a $12.8 million reserve.
The board's contract with TeleTran Tek Services has been extended six times from 1999 through 2013, without being put out for a competitive bid.
T-Cubed, as the company is known, projects its contract to grow to $447,555 in 2018-19, even as the number of call boxes is projected to fall to 700 from the current 1,400.
Edward Steven "Eddie" Castoria, 64, the company's president and chief executive, serves as the agency's executive director. He contracts out for a call center, installation and maintenance of call boxes and most other services, which cost extra. Castoria's pay goes for facilitating board meetings, running grant programs, selecting and overseeing contractors and strategizing about motorist aid of the future.
Castoria has separate contracts with similar agencies across the state to provide data collection and analysis for call-box programs and freeway service patrols. Those additional contracts, with options, total $1 million through 2016, according to a review by The Watchdog.
"Enormous" savings
Members of the San Diego SAFE board majority and Castoria said his firm is well worth the money, that he has saved the agency millions and even lowered his contract amount this year as an acknowledgment of the economy.
"They like the job we're doing," Castoria said. "If we've done a good job of running this program, if we've saved by procuring well and having a board that's proactive and wants to do things right, how many cities and counties would love to be in our position?"
The agency is about more than call boxes, officials said, and administrative costs cover other programs as well, such as the 511 line people can call from their cellphones for roadside assistance and traffic information.
"They have been good to work with, and that's part of it. I don't feel like there's an inordinate amount of overhead," said board member Ron Roberts, a county supervisor.
Roberts said efforts to save on administration have always been a part of the agency. In 1998, the board voted to outsource the county-operated program, and it saved money. T-Cubed was selected over a regional transportation agency and others.

Im astonished that so many people rated the pizza here so highly. Im certainly no pizza snob but also can appreciate great pizza. This neighborhood does have a serious absence of decent pizza so after reading the reviews here I tried it... Its not that its terrible, it really is just very very ordinary, Dominos style crust and sweet out of a jar tomato sauce. the general flavor is similar to frozen pizza to be honest. Fast delivery though!
Posted by fania on 06/25/2014
The food is hot, fast, and good.
Posted by Anonymous on 07/29/2012
I eat here probably three to four times a week. I've tried most of there food. I get it delivered and it comes quick. Food is hot and price is good. Servings are big. Penne vodka and chicken cordon blue has the best sauce I ever tasted and I love the zucchini sticks. Calamari, garlic bread, buffalo wings, paninis, Caesar salad, pizza.- all winners. And the spagetti carbonara. Did I mention the chicken cordon blue?
Posted by Margaret on 12/09/2011
I particularly like the Sicilian pie at Xpress, but every pizza I've had there has been good. They're a notch above your average neighborhood pizza place, and consistently better than Rocky's down the street. It doesn't look like a sit down restaurant (despite the tables), but that's okay by me--I just bring the pizza home or order delivery.

They are one of the few places with desserts which we love. The food has always been decent and delivery is fast. When they don't have something they call me to ask, I think the service is good

Even as the evidence of global warming mounts, the international response to this serious threat is coming unraveled. The United States has formally withdrawn from the 1997 Kyoto Protocol; other key nations are facing difficulty in meeting their Kyoto commitments; and developing countries face no limit on their emissions of the gases that cause global warming. In this clear and cogent book-reissued in paperback with an afterword that comments on recent events--David Victor explains why the Kyoto Protocol was never likely to become an effective legal instrument. He explores how its collapse offers opportunities to establish a more realistic alternative.
Global warming continues to dominate environmental news as legislatures worldwide grapple with the process of ratification of the December 1997 Kyoto Protocol. The collapse of the November 2000 conference at the Hague showed clearly how difficult it will be to bring the Kyoto treaty into force. Yet most politicians, policymakers, and analysts hailed it as a vital first step in slowing greenhouse warming. David Victor was not among them.
Kyoto's fatal flaw, Victor argues, is that it can work only if emissions trading works. The Protocol requires industrialized nations to reduce their emissions of greenhouse gases to specific targets. Crucially, the Protocol also provides for so-called "emissions trading," whereby nations could offset the need for rapid cuts in their own emissions by buying emissions credits from other countries. But starting this trading system would require creating emission permits worth two trillion dollars--the largest single invention of assets by voluntary international treaty in world history. Even if it were politically possible to distribute such astronomical sums, the Protocol does not provide for adequate monitoring and enforcement of these new property rights. Nor does it offer an achievable plan for allocating new permits, which would be essential if the system were expanded to include developing countries.
The collapse of the Kyoto Protocol--which Victor views as inevitable--will provide the political space to rethink strategy. Better alternatives would focus on policies that control emissions, such as emission taxes. Though economically sensible, however, a pure tax approach is impossible to monitor in practice. Thus, the author proposes a hybrid in which governments set targets for both emission quantities and tax levels. This offers the important advantages of both emission trading and taxes without the debilitating drawbacks of each.
Individuals at all levels of environmental science, economics, public policy, and politics-from students to professionals--and anyone else hoping to participate in the debate over how to slow global warming will want to read this book.

This past year began slowly for us but has been building up steam! Our website, particularly the blog, is very popular and has visitors from all over the world. Some of our blogs have addressed suicide, depression, compulsive buying and adoption in those with ADHD.
ADHD coaching is a hands on approach to helping those with ADHD with organization, time management and education. It involves meeting on a regular basis with your coach, working on a set of predetermined goals and developing a weekly action plan. With students our approach incorporates the goals of parents and the student. We work on organizing school work and long term assignments as well as working on social skills if this is something the student wants to work on. Accountability is provided by emails or texts between sessions. For those who need more one on one help with organization, Anahi is a trained professional organizer and can work with you at your home to organize a room or office. Sometimes this can alleviate anxiety someone may have over their ability to do this on their own.
As part of our one year anniversary, we would like to offer a gift for those clients registering for coaching this month. We are giving new clients the choice of one of three books invaluable to those with ADHD:
♦ Mindfulness:
♦ The Organized Student
♦ Executive Function: What They Are, How They Work and Why They Evolved
Go to our website at www.ao-coachandorganizer.com for more information and contact info. Thank you to all our clients for this wonderful year!
