If this width is main¬ tained through the incorporated villages of Freeport and Rockvllle i>nlro il must bo at the expense of the villages. Tbe iKjard l^elloveM this should be de¬ cided by tho taxpayers. The coat to Freeport wUl be about $7000.

He was uninjured whon u gasoline tank he was soldering, exploded Saturday. The force of tho explosion blew out the two largo windows In the shop and Ix-nt a heavy parlltlon In the bactc of the store. Wlltlen ho'Z the tank on lil.'i bench, and wa.s net even knocked down by the concu.sslon. Il was a boat tank and Wlltlen un- number der^tood that It had never been used. He r. 13 been in business twenty-live the building liad been completed, »o by the school district from which theU,,at ^^e contractor %vas no longer al pupil comes. When tho matter was called lo the attention of Superintendent J. T. P. Calkins of the Hempstead publl<:: schools by a representatlva of the Review. Mr. Calkins explained that under tho pres¬ ent law the state pays $50, but in some Instancea that Is all tho high sohool district can obfiln. It is much less than the average eost of (Educating a pupil during the school year. This law, Mr. C:alkln9 pointed out. provides that the state shall pay $60, and if the high school district charged more than $50 a year on May I, 1919, tho district from which the non-re«i- itent pupil cornea must make up the dJlforenoe. But If tho high s<'hool dis¬ trict wna charging only $60 on that date, the amount ixiuld not be increased. l'nder these conditions, Hempslead district, which was receiving $70 a pu¬ pil lor non-residenti* on May 1, 1919, now receives tho same amoiMit. tho state imying $50, and the illatrlct the other $20. Freepoft ia still Kottlng only $50 a year, while Lawrence is getUnK $100. Mr. CalKlns 1« of the opUiion that the law la unjust, not only to the blgh •oltool dlstrlota. but to tho people of th« state, enpeclftlly New Tork Olty. The 3tate compulsory education law provide* that every school dlatrlot must the mercy of the weather, and that the work of Installing the new engine could now go on unhindered. ,\llhough this work waa lieguiti in what is usually tho worst part of the year, there has been practically no time lost on account of weather. Tho fl'C—.!.'>anl question at the meeting AVednesday was the .sev*'nty cent ser- vl<'e rate now charged by the Nasaau and Suffolk Lighting Co. President Oeorge MacDonald of the gaa company was preaent. The absence of Village Preidenl Clarence Ed'Wartht and Clerk Shea from the me«ttng force<l the rest of the board to "double up." Trustee Howard K. Ptvtirsall was acting i>res!dent. Mr. MacDonald said in part: "There is a lot ot miHUnderslaiidlng on the part of tho jieople altout this seventy-cent sorxiee charge.

I r^r^ttJ^u 0PPo«'t;on LS developiiiK every hour to the pro¬ posed change m the State Highway Law. now before the com- mittees of Senate and A.s.sembly at Albany. Thi.s bill, in dupli¬ cate form for presentation to the two hou.se.s of the legi.slatiire proposes to readjust the entire program ol' highway .oiistruf- tion m the State. The committee i.s agreed that the ixH.ommeii- rtations of local repre.sentative.s shall .stand. Na.s.sau County men especially many of them in the Town of Hemp.stead. are ofthe opinion the local representatives are not favoring the best plan. Hence the oppo.sition. Tlje bill revise.s the entire .state higiiwav sv.stem. It takes out all the highway.s whicli had been prepareti for improve¬ ment and sub.stitutes the pipe line e.xtending from East New York through QueeiLs Borough and Nassau County to the Suf¬ folk County line. Backers of the bill ))re.sent the advantages of tlie pipe line boulevard in glowing terms. It is advocated to relieve conges¬ tion on the Merrick road, universally conceded to be necessary. Opponents of the measure prefer to continue with plan.n Nassau Siipen-iRors .Asked (o Defer Ell-j ^''"6**^y i" hand for the improvement of the Valley Stream- laruemeiit of County Tui>ercuiosi8 | Wantagh road, generallv known a.s the Seaman avenue route "r;":;;;i:'" rr*.-!™ n.:;1s'^ ; ,,,:ilJ^^'°;,^f ^i'« contention H is shown that^ this is a project _.

To abandon this plan are the present best means. | and .sub.stitute the pipe lille bouleval'd, as favored in the bill, would require joint action liy public authorities of Kiiig.s. (iueens and Na.ssau Counties, a complication which indicates thai it would be at lea.st three years before the project could be completed. The relative cost of the two routes is put at .$5,000,000 as a minimum for the boulevard as compared with le.s.<* than a million for the Seaman aven'U' route. An additional matter of cost that would enter into the project if the boulevard plan were adopted woukl be the ex¬ emption from ta.xation of all that iiortioii of the property used ^ °" by the Brooklyn waterworks, south of the L. I, II. R. tracks ex¬ cepting pumping .stations. Exemption would date from thf time of ceding the property, regardless of the time when coii- .struction of the boulevard might take place. The effect would be a lo.ss to Nas.sau County of the money now received from taxe.s on a large part of the waterworks jirojierty and a va.st increa.se in the taxation to meet con.slruction co.sts. For these reasons opposition to tho change of route is grow¬ ing hourly, as the facts become known. Chairman Hiram R. Smith, of the .N'a.ssau County Board of Supervisors .said today the Seaman avenue route is economi¬ cally correct. He irointed out that there is today in the .state treasury to the credit of Na.ssau County $4<H),00(i available for highway im¬ provement. Should the chani^e l)e made to the boulevard route this money would revert to the state and Na.ssau would have to look to future action to get it.s share of needed funds. Repre.senting Na.s.sau County, Chairman Smith, (1. Wilbur Doughty, County Engineer P>ed Starks, and H. Stewart Mc¬ Knlght, counsel, conferred with the Lieutenant-Governor and Senator Hewitt, chairman in charge of the bill, at Albany on Wednesday. They found the committee ready to a<lopt whatever course the local representatives would back, and in.si.sting upon being consistent in their course as to all other parts of the state. A.s.semblvman McWhinney, who attended the conference, declared him"self emphatically in favor of the bo'jlevard route. Returning to Long Island the county's representatives have made known the facts of the ca.se. Today's action in the mat¬ ter is the circulation of protests which are to be sent in the form of telegrams to Senator George L. Thompson, at Albany. Here is a copy of the first telegram, bearing signatures of itri origina¬ tors and every hour more names are added to the list of signers: We protest against substitution of pipe line boulevard for Valley Stream-Wantagh road and Front .street.

Final Fantasy III was remade for the DS back when the original DS came out. And this is Final Fantasy III by the original reckoning: the Super Nintendo Final Fantasy III is actually Final Fantasy VI. Confusing, I know.
And the original Final Fantasy has been remade and ported for systems like the Playstation 1, the PSP, the Game Boy Advance. Both games, incidentally, are available on iOS systems. In other words, if you have an iPad or iPhone, you could download and play them.

Play Video: Oakworks® Boiance Face Rest Cushion
Great face rest, as it exceeds the comfort of any standard face rest you would get from any table manufacturer. Though, I have an original Boiance head reast, too, and this one is not as nice. But, it is still is nice for my clients, as they do comment on the comfort of it.
Tip: One big change from the original Boiance to this one is that Oakworks "idea guys" decided to add some wood frame to the inside to help conform it so it holds in place on the face rest frame. Well, bad thing about that is it jabs the clients face. Not very comfortable. Simple solution: unzip the face rest, pry off the 4 staples hidden in the velcro, and pull the wood pieces out. The velcro holds the face rest in place just fine (crazy, I know, as for many years this "idea" has worked great.)
I have personally had a massage with this face rest & loved the fact that I wasn't congested after lying face down. All my clients have expressed how much they like this face rest & how comfortable it is. Definitely worth the money.
The cradle is heavy but the clients seem to like it very much compared to others I have tried. I used some exta velcro to keep it in place
Very comfortable. The only reason I am giving this 4 stars is that it falls off the frame when not in use. Otherwise, buy this face rest!
I got one of these with my Nova ABC System table from Oakworks. It has gotten great reviews from my clients who love the comfort of it. I ordered another for a spare.
The standard headrest is very hard compared to this one. If given a choice, none of my clients want to use the standard one.

Sounds pretty mild, approximately 0% normal users care sbout dependancies unless it is causing a problem. It uses a few GBs of space, and that is the price you pay for the client and the games which need it. How big is your hard drive? 10GB? Maybe you need a bigger drive. It makes sense that they use their own auto update, standard update managers don't support the DRM which Steam needs to make their platform a reality, and using their own auto update to test their DRM laden update process makes sense.
Posted 19 January 2013 - 02:59
I tested it myself and I'll reply to some of the OP's points.
1- 32-bit only FOR NOW. They are only starting, give em time. And for the record. Skype is 32-bit only as well. So was Chrome for a while. Give em time!
2- The auto-update makes sense. So what, you expect them to make a Pacman, Debian, RPM, ... -compliant update process? Nah. Makes sense they just use their own, as they have to keep complying with their contracts with the game makers.
Gotta give it time. It'll all settle.
Posted 19 January 2013 - 03:08
Disclaimer: This is basically a rant thread.
So I've been using the Steam Linux beta for a few weeks now, and I've come to following conclusion: The Steam Linux beta sucks.
It's not like I don't appreciate what they're doing, I mean after all, Valve are the only publisher that's really taking Linux (except they're not, I'll discuss that later), but still, the execution of the whole thing is farcical.
First of all, why is the client 32-bit only? I honestly can't remember that last time a Linux application came with only a 32-bit binary. This decision means that everyone on an x64 Linux build has to install 32-bit libraries in order to run Steam. Why not just provide a 64-bit binary and save us the bloat of having to install multilib libraries purely for Steam? I can't imagine that the difference between x86 and x64 would be so much that it'd be impossible to develop both at the same time.
Second, what's with the auto-update process? Most Linux distros have pretty solid package management. So why not just leave it to the package managers? This problem is SOLVED in Linux. Why use some [****-poor] auto-update process when mature platforms already exist for exactly this problem?
Third, why does the client feel compelled to screw with my cursor. This is probably a problem with my setup rather than Steam, but it's the only app on my system that insists on reversing my mouse cursor. Oddness.
Fourth, and probably most importantly, where's the quality control in the games? Of all the games that are "available for Linux", in my experience about 50% are 'private betas' that need a password to play or simply don't install. To make things worse, it doesn't actually tell you that when you buy the game, so you are at risk of buying a game you can't actually play. The funniest thing I find about this is that a lot of the games that don't work are also former Humble Bundle games, so I can play the game perfectly well without Steam, but then can't play the Steam version of the same game. What the hell is up with that?
This inconvenience is compounded by failures like, for example, SpaceChem trying to use apt to try and install dependencies on my Arch install (for those that don't know, that doesn't work), and including libraries that don't work on 64-bit installs. There are threads with distro-specific hacks to get games working, but why isn't Steam doing this for us? I don't expect them to cater to every OS, but they could at least give us some hints. Make the developers provide a list of dependencies, and then check against installed libraries to determine which ones I need to install to get a game to work, and then tell me.
The games overall seem to be the 32-bit versions of the games (which I guess makes sense since the client is too), so I'm installing a lot of 32-bit libs for all the games too. It's gradually turning my Arch install into a glorious mess of libraries. Not really an issue per se, but an annoyance for someone like me who tries to keep a minimal install as much as possible.
I don't know, I guess this beta is giving me a bit of a bitter after-taste. They're touting it as the "Steam Linux beta", when in reality it should just be the "Steam Ubuntu Beta" since non-Ubuntu user's are pretty much out there on our own hacking it together to get it to work.
Overall, I'm finding more success playing games outside of Steam than I am within it. One of the best things about the Windows client is the convenience factor. On Linux I just get the overall impression we're testing the steam box client, and getting a buggy DRM client out of it. I don't think Valve are really taking Linux seriously like they're making out, they're just getting us to iron the bugs out of the client so they can release a bug-free console. Linux games will be a fortunate side effect of the Steam box, but not the primary focus IMO.
Not impressed.

text: As the title says. I looked up a few reviews, all seemingly posted before the episode even aired which seemed to praise it (which made me suspicious, plus one was actually on dave's site). I haven't seen the first episode but saw about a minute of it with kryten and rimmer, apart from chris barrie seemingly aged quite a bit, his voice was changing randomly (nothing like rimmer's character), kryten's costume looked incredibly tacky and the way he was acting was also, completely out of character. If I'm honest, it seemed like complete garbage, so I'm open to what everyone that saw it (or parts of it) thought of it?

Michael Burrows, a forensic detective in the S.F.P.D. becomes fascinated by the number of "Darwin" deaths being reported. Darwin deaths result when the victims commit a bizarrely stupid acts, resulting in their own demise. Determined to prove a common theme in these cases, Burrows joins forces with Siri, a clinical, no-nonsense insurance investigator specializing in the more bizarre claims. Along the way they come across a parade of unforgettable characters: the speed freak who straps a rocket launcher to his Chevy Impala in his quest to set a land speed record; two guys who decide that dynamite is the fastest way to break through a patch of ice to go fishing; teenagers who will do anything to break into a Metallica concert; and an ad executive who is so confident in the strength of his shatterproof window that he throws himself at it, despite being on the 25th floor.

High Rise Skinny Jeans
Style # 229674
High rise skinny with sexy fit 5-pocket, and double button detail. Just add a high heel and you're club ready!
- 72% Cotton, 15% rayon, 12% polyester, 1% spandex
- Machine wash
- Made in USA
- Rise: 10" (25 cm), inseam: 34" (87 cm), leg opening: 22" (56 cm)
- Model is 5'10" and wears a US size 28
Rated 5 out of 5�by 1 reviewer.
Rated 5 out of 5�by Frosting Love these!! These jeans are very well made; the material has only a little stretch, so if you want a bit more room, you may want to go up a size (note: they will stretch a bit to fit you perfectly, so if you want them more fitted, buy your usual size). I was able to wear my usual size 28 (I wear a 6 in Bebe clothes) but, again, they are very fitted so bear that in mind. I love them though, as the higher rise is more comfortable and the jeans do not fall down when you sit... you don't have to wear a super-long top with them. Highly recommended!!! January 19, 2014

Originally written on The Flagrant Fan | Last updated 1/9/13
Last night on Twitter, Dave Cameron responded to a statement made by Michael Morse that he was vehemently against being used in the designated hitter role: "My suggestion to all these guys that don't want to DH - Don't suck at fielding, then." That quote leads to today's post which is: Six fielders who should be DHs. Why six? Who knows. All posts in the last week have started with six. Just humor me. The problem identifying the top six worst defensive players is that Fangraphs and Baseball-reference.com do not always agree on defensive statistics. So the criteria becomes, then, who do both sites agree on as woeful fielders? Three years of data was used in the criteria and then players who are playing out of position are taken out. For example, nobody has lost more runs to average for his fielding than Shawn Kemp. Well, that is because he should not be playing center field. Should we punish Kemp for playing out of position? Perhaps so. But it did not seem fair here because he migh...

The Chevrolet Camaro is an American icon and has been hugely popular muscle car for many years. The Camero was temporarily taken off the market for about 7 years and when it was brought back there was an amazing amount of interest and build up demand from muscle car lovers. The new styling brought back what some car lovers remember from the very early models, a more boxy design with sharp lines make the new Camaro unmistakable and very alluring.The high end Camaro offers a huge 426 horsepower engine for the manual transmission or a 400 horsepower engine for the automatic. The release of this classic muscle car back into the wild has made a huge stir in the automotive industry because many thought that the Camaro was gone forever.The Camaro is back in a big way and if its sales continue to grow, this hotrod will be around for many more years to come. The re-release of this car is expected to start a battle of the muscle cars that, this will be interesting to see. The newest Camaro starts out at $22,680 but comes nicely equipped at $25,680.

Wrap up of the last 4 missions for the teams still going.
Objective: Pull the Ice Core out of the hole. For additional points, move it to Base.
Point Worth: 20 points for pulling it out of the hole. 10 points for moving it back to Base.
Mission Location: Center East, on the Reasearch Area.
Estimated Difficulty Level: Medium - Hard
Time Length Rating: 7/10
Unique Challenge Aspects: This precision-required mission is conveniently placed on the far end of the table. Also, veteran teams may notice this Ice Core is actually smaller than previous "rings" used before - this possibly makes it even more difficult to pick up.
Objective: Move the Ice Buoy to the Research Area (Ice crater), so that it ends upright.
Point Worth: 25 points.
Mission Location: Starts in the North West corner (top right).
Estimated Difficulty Level: Medium.
Time Length Rating: 5/10
Unique Challenge Aspects: The Ice Buoy itself is an interesting shape. Its round shape may make it difficult to grip, and it is somewhat difficult to get to, surrounded by the Levee Tester, the Underground Reservoir, and the Levees.
Objective: Move the polar bear and/or snowmobile to the Research Area.
Point Worth: Polar Bear - Upright: 15 points, Asleep (fallen over): 10 points; Snowmobile: 10 points, no matter upright or on its side.
Mission Location: Research Area (bottom left corner).
Estimated Difficulty Level: Medium Easy.
Time Length Rating: 3/10.
Unique Challenge Aspects: This mission provides a good oppurtunity to combine challenges to save time. Balancing the polar may provide a little difficulty for some teams, but it is only an extra 5 points.
Objective: Move the robot to the research area or yellow grid area.
Point Worth: 15 points if the robot is in the research area. 10 points if the robot is in the yellow grid area.
Mission Location: Research area (bottom right corner) and yellow grid area (center top).
Estimated Difficulty Level: Medium
Time Length Rating: 3-5/10
Unique Challenge Aspects: For the research area aspect, this is a reintroduction of an all-terrain mission. Also, beware the ice blocks that are floating before the actual research area - the robot may slip! Note how the Ice crater doesn't actually touch the wall; the robot cannot directly follow the wall as was done in years before. The yellow grid area is not as tricky to get to, but worth only 5 points less.
I hope everyone has found these Mission Overviews useful. I would like to wish all the teams who are finished with this season a congratualations - and those who have not yet competed or have advanced to the next round: good luck!
There is still a forum dedicated to FLL here on The NXT Step - discuss your teams' results, share ideas, talk about acts of Gracious Professionalism.
We're still looking for that first 400 team... has anyone see one yet?

Instead of a long winded and misspelled diatribe, check out the photos from the last 24 hours on the Goldy. With mediocre surf and no contest for the day, we made a little road trip south to Byron Bay and took in the sights. If not for draconian decency/privacy laws in the USA I'd have some really awesome photos for ya'll…
Meanwhile in Sydney…
UFC 127 In Sydney
The fights started at 11:00 a.m. The lines for beer were long and the Tapout shirts were in mass abundance. I was worried about entering a closed area with 20,000 Aussie's fueled on beer and UFC fights, but the truth is, the Aussie UFC fans were the best I've ever seen. During the fights, the crowd was laughing, singing, chanting, and having a blast. "Aussie Aussie Aussie, Oi Oi Oi" was repeated throughout the whole night. There were a bunch of fights you can read about on UFC.com, but the big one was BJ Penn vs. Jon Fitch. BJ, who is a bro to many a ripper was supported, ringside by Kelly Slater, Sunny Garcia, Makua Rothman, Noodles, Koby Abberton, Jarrah Tutton, and a handful of Hawaiian's waving flags and going berserk. In the end, BJ won a controversial judges decision. In more good news, I didn't get punched! Tomorrow morning, I pick up the Coffin brothers, and Jack Freestone for a few days of shredding for the filming of the new TransWorld SURF flick. Yeeeeeeeeeeeeew!—Chris Coté

Cook Volunteers Lend a Hand at Hope House
Hope House was abuzz activity April 1 when nearly 200 students, faculty and staff from SLU's John Cook School of Business Service Leadership program spent the afternoon on restoration projects at the transitional housing complex for homeless families in St. Louis
|Service Leadership students (from left) Steve Shin, Alex Pavlishin and Tyler Vachio.
Teams spread out across the building to clean out storage rooms and janitor's closets as well as paint lounge areas, laundry rooms and murals in the hallways.
Volunteers also spruced up green space outside Hope House with gardening and landscaping projects while others made fleece tie blankets for the child development center.
The group also donated and installed computers in the preschool facility and teen center.
In conjunction with SLU's homeless awareness week, Service Day co-chairs Allison Hopke and Christina Lu, coordinated a campus-wide hygiene and cleaning products drive. The 563 items donated by University students, faculty and staff will be delivered to Hope House next week.
This was the sixth year for the annual day of service.

Typhoid fever is caused by Salmonella typhi bacteria. Typhoid fever is rare in industrialized countries. However, it remains a serious health threat in the developing world, especially for children.
Typhoid fever spreads through contaminated food and water or through close contact with someone who's infected. Signs and symptoms usually include high fever, headache, abdominal pain, and either constipation or diarrhea.
When treated with antibiotics, most people with typhoid fever feel better within a few days, although a small percentage of them may die of complications.
Vaccines against typhoid fever are available, but they're only partially effective. Vaccines usually are reserved for those who may be exposed to the disease or are traveling to areas where typhoid fever is common.
Although children with typhoid fever sometimes become sick suddenly, signs and symptoms are more likely to develop gradually — often appearing one to three weeks after exposure to the disease.
Once signs and symptoms do appear, you're likely to experience:
If you don't receive treatment for typhoid fever, you may enter a second stage during which you become very ill and experience:
By the third week, you may:
Life-threatening complications often develop at this time.
Improvement may come slowly during the fourth week. Your fever is likely to decrease gradually until your temperature returns to normal in another week to 10 days. But signs and symptoms can return up to two weeks after your fever has subsided.
See a doctor immediately if you suspect you have typhoid fever. If you become ill while traveling in a foreign country, call the U.S. Consulate for a list of doctors. Better yet, find out in advance about medical care in the areas you'll visit, and carry a list of the names, addresses and phone numbers of recommended doctors.
If you develop signs and symptoms after you return home, consider consulting a doctor who focuses on international travel medicine or infectious diseases. A specialist may be able to recognize and treat your illness more quickly than can a doctor who isn't trained in these areas.
Typhoid fever is caused by a virulent bacterium called Salmonella typhi. Although they're related, S. typhi and the bacterium responsible for salmonellosis, another serious intestinal infection, aren't the same.
The bacteria that cause typhoid fever spread through contaminated food or water and occasionally through direct contact with someone who is infected. In developing nations, where typhoid is endemic, most cases result from contaminated drinking water and poor sanitation. The majority of people in industrialized countries pick up the typhoid bacteria while traveling and spread it to others through the fecal-oral route.
This means that S. typhi is passed in the feces and sometimes in the urine of infected people. You can contract the infection if you eat food handled by someone with typhoid fever who hasn't washed carefully after using the toilet. You can also become infected by drinking water contaminated with the bacteria.
Even after treatment with antibiotics, a small number of people who recover from typhoid fever continue to harbor the bacteria in their intestinal tracts or gallbladders, often for years. These people, called chronic carriers, shed the bacteria in their feces and are capable of infecting others, although they no longer have signs or symptoms of the disease themselves.
Typhoid fever remains a serious worldwide threat — especially in the developing world — affecting an estimated 22 million people each year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The disease is endemic in India, Southeast Asia, Africa, South America and many other areas.
Worldwide, children are at greatest risk of getting the disease, although they generally have milder symptoms than adults do.
If you live in a country where typhoid fever is rare, you're at increased risk if you:
The most serious complication of typhoid fever — intestinal bleeding or holes (perforations) — may develop in the third week of illness. About 5 percent of people with typhoid fever experience this complication.
Intestinal bleeding is often marked by a sudden drop in blood pressure and shock, followed by the appearance of blood in your stool.
A perforated intestine occurs when your small intestine or large bowel develops a hole, causing intestinal contents to leak into your abdominal cavity and triggering signs and symptoms such as severe abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and bloodstream infection (sepsis). This life-threatening emergency requires immediate medical care.
Other possible complications include:
With prompt treatment, nearly all people in industrialized nations recover from typhoid. Without treatment, some people may not survive complications of the disease.
Call your doctor if you've recently returned from travel abroad and develop mild symptoms similar to those that occur with typhoid fever. If your symptoms are severe, go to an emergency room or call 911 or your local emergency number.
Here's some information to help you get ready and know what to expect from your doctor.
For typhoid fever, possible questions to ask your doctor include:
Don't hesitate to ask any other related questions you have.
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions. Being ready to answer them may reserve time to go over any points you want to talk about in-depth. Your doctor may ask:
Your doctor is likely to suspect typhoid fever based on your symptoms and your medical and travel history. But the diagnosis is usually confirmed by identifying S. typhi in a culture of your blood or other body fluid or tissue.
For the culture, a small sample of your blood, stool, urine or bone marrow is placed on a special medium that encourages the growth of bacteria. In 48 to 72 hours, the culture is checked under a microscope for the presence of typhoid bacteria. A bone marrow culture often is the most sensitive test for S. typhi.
Although performing a culture test is the mainstay for diagnosis, in some instances other testing may be used to confirm a suspected typhoid infection, such as a test to detect antibodies to typhoid bacteria in your blood or a test that checks for typhoid DNA in your blood.
Antibiotic therapy is the only effective treatment for typhoid fever.
These drugs can cause side effects, and long-term use can lead to the development of antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria.
In the past, the drug of choice was chloramphenicol. Doctors no longer commonly use it, however, because of side effects, a high rate of health deterioration after a period of improvement (relapse), and widespread bacterial resistance.
In fact, the existence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria is a growing problem in the treatment of typhoid, especially in the developing world. In recent years, S. typhi also has proved resistant to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and ampicillin.
Other treatment steps aimed at managing symptoms include:
In many developing nations, the public health goals that can help prevent and control typhoid — safe drinking water, improved sanitation and adequate medical care — may be difficult to achieve. For that reason, some experts believe that vaccinating high-risk populations is the best way to control typhoid fever.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends being vaccinated if you''re traveling to areas where the risk of getting typhoid fever is high.
Two vaccines are available.
Neither vaccine is 100 percent effective, and both require repeat immunizations as vaccine effectiveness diminishes over time.
Because the vaccine won't provide complete protection, follow these guidelines when traveling to high-risk areas as well:
If you're recovering from typhoid, these measures can help keep others safe:

Economic Development | Code Enforcement | Fee schedule | LDO
The Community Development Department is responsible for overseeing the orderly growth and development of Biloxi, which has been a daunting task in the past several years because of the tremendous economic boost the city has experienced with casino gaming and even more since since Aug. 29, 2005, when Hurricane Katrina destroyed 6,000 homes and businesses in the city.
One of the most important tools of the Community Development Department is the Planning Commission, a panel of citizens appointed by the Mayor and confirmed by the City Council. The commission reviews zoning matters on a regular basis, and makes recommendations to the Mayor and City Council. In some areas, where construction is planned in historic areas of the city, plans also are reviewed by an Architectural and Historical Review Commission.
When construction is planned, a team of veteran inspectors reviews and oversees all aspects of the process for both residential and commercial projects.
The Community Development Department is also responsible for overseeing the administration of all federal and state programs, taxing and licensing businesses, and operating several city-owned museums and historic properties.
In recent years, the city has placed more emphasis on the appearance of streets and neighborhoods by strictly enforcing city codes involving appearance of property. This process is overseen by the department's Code Enforcement Division, which works closely with the Community Court division of the Legal Department.
There are 26 full-time employees and 10 part-time employees in the Community Development Department, as well as seven contract employees. The divisions of this department are: Federal-State Programs; Planning and Zoning; Building and Code Enforcement; Tax and Licensing; Museums and Cultural Affairs; and Economic Development.

Did you know that you could take two cams that are ground with EXACTLY the same lobes, even from the same cam company, and still get one to make about 20 more horsepower than the other? It's the lobe separation that does the trick, and if you picked the wrong separation figure, you could be losing power. We think the cam manufacturers do this just to keep us guessing because it's an area where camshaft design and technology can get very confusing.
What Is Lobe Separation?Lobe separation angle is NOT the same thing as the lobe centerlines, although it does directly involve them. Lobe separation is the number of degrees between the point when the exhaust valve reaches maximum lift and the point that the intake valve reaches maximum lift. Those two max lift points are the lobe centerlines and usually fall somewhere in the 102- to 122-degree range.
You can calculate lobe separation by adding the intake and exhaust lobe centerline figures together and dividing the sum by 2 (Ex: 110 intake center line + 114 exhaust center line= 224/2= 112 lobe separation). This also is the figure needed to determine how much the intake lobe may be "advanced." To calculate intake lobe advance, simply subtract the intake lobe centerline from the lobe separation angle (112-110= 2). The difference is how much advance is ground into your cam, 2 degrees in this example. It's also important to remember that you cannot change lobe separation or intake lobe advance after the cam is ground. Lobe separation is not the same as valve overlap either, as some people mistakenly identify it. Overlap is simply the degrees that both valves are open at the same time (see diagram).
Typically with street cams, the farther you spread the lobe centers apart with a wide lobe-separation angle, like 116 degrees, the less overlap you get. Although both wide (112-116) and narrow (102-110) lobe-separation angles do have some effect on overlap, it's still possible to get tons of overlap with a very wide lobe-separation angle. Race cams like those used in Pro Stock and Pro nitrous applications usually have a very high lobe-separation angle of 116 degrees and above, yet still have lots of overlap because the intake vale opens very early in the cycle while the exhaust valve has not closed very far yet.
It's the scavenging effect caused by this that pulls the fresh fuel/air charge into the chamber. Why is all this important? It all has to do with the cylinder heads, exhaust system, and how well the engine will breathe. If you've got inefficient cylinder heads or a poor-breathing exhaust system, the wrong lobe separation angle might not pull enough fresh charge into the cylinder and you'd lose power
The Power Of SeparationHow much effect a wide vs. narrow lobe-separation angle has on power is precisely what we wanted to test, so Comp Cams ground five identical-duration solid roller camshafts with a different lobe-separation angle on each for us to try. The test was simple: Install all five cams straight up in the same engine with no changes in between. Since we wanted to cover the broadest separation spectrum for street cams, we asked Comp to grind 106-, 108-, 110-, 112-, and 114-degree lobe separations to see how that alone would affect power.
Our rather mild small-block was a 0.030-over 350 using a few good-breathing parts to make power. Basically, our tests showed that most of today's cam manufacturers have it correct when they grind their cams with a 108-110-lobe-separation angle, because it was within this range that our test motor worked the best. The difference in peak power, made between the best and worst cams, was more than 20 hp with the 108-lobe cam making the most at 475 hp and the 112-lobe cam making the least at 452 hp.

Language Learning Center Renovations Completes Renovations
The summer renovations of the Language Learning Center (LLC) were completed over Fall Break. Extensive remodeling was required to address longstanding space efficiency problems and to provide a lab classroom layout more conducive to language learning and teaching.
The previous configuration of the space prohibited regular scheduling of lab hours for many of the lower-division courses within the Department of Modern and Classical Languages.
The principal focus of the remodel was to divide a large area into two new lab classrooms. Additionally, a third classroom was completely renovated for network and electrical support of twenty new iMacs. The LLC now consists of three laboratory classrooms and a central support office that serves hundreds of the department's faculty and students.
The remodel was overseen by project manager Dustin Montgomery of Design and Construction. ITS Manager Craig Williams ensured the highest level of University technology in the new space.
The original concept drawings were provided by Jim Burwinkel, Ph.D. The project was initiated, managed, and administered by the LLC Director Dan Nickolai. For more information on the Language Learning Center, please visit the LLC web page.

GS 101: Introduction to Global Studies: "Finding Hope for the Planet"
Some people argue that living in a connected world brings us together in ways that promote human prosperity, harmony and social innovation. Others suggest that the processes of globalization have led to wars, pandemics and environmental threats. What do you think? In this course, we study the processes of globalization from the perspectives of economics, politics, health, culture and the environment. Using contemporary case studies, you will learn about the forces and actors that shape our modern world and the challenges for global citizenship. How should humans respond to the many challenges facing our planet? Join us in GS101 and find out where you stand.
AF 305: Semester in Community Engagement
AF 305 is the capstone course for the exciting new Community Engagement (CE) Option for students who wish to gain practical experience in the heart of the city. AF 305 students will have taken AF 300 and AF 301 in the fall semester and will receive 1.0 course credits (the equivalent of two 0.5 credit courses) for successful completion of AF 305.
AF 305 students will be in a CE placement, coordinated by The Working Centre, throughout the semester and will be challenged to integrate the creative learning from AF 300 and AF 301 with the experiential learning component of the CE placement.
Class meetings for AF 305 will be held in a combination of arrangements: there will be two all-day retreats (on a Saturday) one at the beginning of the semester, and one near the end. We will meet on Friday mornings only four (or five) times. One-on-one mentoring and some group meetings will also be included. Classes will meet in downtown Kitchener (the exact location(s) to be determined).
Edmund Pries was born into a refugee family. His parents were born in Ukraine/USSR, Edmund was born in Paraguay, and all six of his younger siblings were born in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Being born into a globalized family environment helped him understand that education and knowledge (both classroom-learned and experientially acquired) are among the most transportable assets available to people and provide an opportunity to enter into global discourse wherever one settles. They also help a person to become a true global citizen.
Edmund has worked several careers simultaneously or successively throughout his life, as a member of the clergy, as the founder / owner of successful businesses, and as a university instructor and academic. He continues to research, write and present papers at conferences -- and he enjoys teaching and being in a classroom with students. In 2011, Edmund was awarded the Wilfrid Laurier University Award for Teaching Excellence. (http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/15244523 Response address begins at minute 26:38.)
Edmund has also served as chair of a university college board and as consultant for the founding of a new university in Brantford (the future Laurier Brantford). Edmund currently serves on the executive of the Peace and Justice Studies Association (www.peacejusticestudies.org) as Treasurer and is a member of several other academic research societies. He is also on the advisory board of Summit: The Sustainable Mountain Development and Conflict Transformation Database.

I painted a portrait of Jon today and filmed the process. http://youtu.be/AILqPMSxAJE The finished result: I seem to remember being able to post youtube videos in blog posts earlier, does anyone know how to do that? Or is it no longer possible?
Well! It´s been a while! I´ve been to an amazing KoRn show in Stockholm since my last post. I bought two VIP tickets, one for the bass lesson and one for the listening session. Both where amazing. But I´d have to say the bass lesson was the highlight of the whole night! I decided to paint portraits of all of the members and bring as gifts to the Meet and greet, aswell as print...
Long time no see! Fieldy are releasing 50 signed t-shirts and I have ordered one! I ordered it before I even knew they where going to be signed! Anyway, it made me so happy I had to paint a watercolor portrait of him! Wadda ya think? It was a whole lot of fun to paint, I can tell you that!
I´m in a flow right now and I both enjoy painting and I´m feeling the positive development in myself. I´m really starting to love working with watercolor. This portrait is made with watercolor and pen.
Metaltown was great all in all and Korn was the highligt that ended my three days experience. I got a spot in the front row, right in front of the bass speakers. I could feel every stroke Fieldy took on that bass in my entire body. It was a great feeling! JD looked better than ever and sounded just awesome but the one that stood out the most to me was Fieldy. His precense on the stage...
My train leaves for Gothenburg tomorrow at 09:25 am. I´m spending the next three days at Metaltown, culminating with Korn on saturday! I am so excited I had to paint some to keep my mind on something. So I made this watercolor portrait of JD. Anyone coming to Metaltown?
I´m ready for the KoRn show at Metaltown in Gothenburg in July now!
I was very surprised earlier when I had the tv on in the background. Suddenly I heard Narcissistic Cannibal! It was in a commercial for Waking the Dead! And now I´ve heard it four times tonight! Cool! :-D
A vector portrait of Jonathan Davis, made out of my font Apollo2013 and an Illustrator plugin called Scriptographer. It took me a few hours to finish but I already have other ideas what to make with the plugin.
I HAD to upgrade the graphics for the KoRn t-shirt so now it includes Head aswell. I will wear this one at the Korn show at Metaltown! Korn 2013 by Sussi Johansson , on Flickr Yeah! I love it!
