Immunization is a successful and cost-effective method for preventing disease, yet many adolescents do not receive recommended vaccines. We assessed correlates of uptake of three vaccines (tetanus booster, meningococcal and human papillomavirus [HPV] vaccines) recommended for adolescent females.
Only 17% of parents indicated their daughters had received all three vaccines. Eighty-seven percent of parents indicated their daughters had received tetanus booster vaccine, 36% reported vaccination against meningococcal disease and 36% reported HPV vaccine initiation. Daughters aged 13–15 years (OR = 1.70, 95% CI: 1.09–2.64) or 16–20 years (OR = 2.28, 95% CI: 1.51–3.44) had received a greater number of these vaccines compared to daughters aged 11–12 years. Daughters who had preventive care visits in the last year (OR = 4.81, 95% CI: 3.14–7.34) or whose parents had at least some college education (OR = 1.90, 95% CI: 1.29–2.80) had also received a greater number of these vaccines.
We examined cross-sectional data from 647 parents of 11–20 year-old females from North Carolina who completed the Carolina HPV Immunization Measurement and Evaluation (CHIME) Project follow-up survey in late 2008. Analyses used ordinal and binary logistic regression.
Few daughters, particularly 11–12 years olds, had received all three vaccines recommended for adolescent females. Ensuring annual preventive care visits and increasing concomitant administration of adolescent vaccines may help increase vaccine coverage.
Immunization is one of the most beneficial and cost-effective methods for preventing disease,1 with an estimated 20 million prevented deaths from infections worldwide over the last two decades.2 Diseases that can be prevented by vaccines recommended for adolescents include tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis, and certain types of meningococcal disease and human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. Tetanus and diphtheria are uncommon in the US largely because of successful immunization programs,3,4 but the others remain significant public health concerns. In the US, pertussis rates have increased over the last few decades with more than 10,000 cases reported in 2007,3,5 an estimated 1,400–2,800 cases of invasive meningococcal disease occur annually with a case fatality ratio of 10%–14%,6,7 and HPV is a common sexually transmitted infection8 that accounts for thousands of cancers annually.9 Since 2005, new vaccines for these diseases have been licensed for use and recommended for adolescents by the US Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), including tetanus, diphtheria and acellular pertussis (Tdap) vaccine (licensed for use in 2005), meningococcal conjugate vaccine (MCV4; licensed for use in 2005) and quadrivalent HPV vaccine (licensed for use in 2006).6,10,11
For 2008, the year of our study, ACIP recommended the following immunization schedule for adolescents aged 11–18 years.12 A booster dose of Tdap vaccine should be administered to adolescents aged 11–12 years who completed the recommended childhood vaccination series for tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis and have not received a tetanus and diphtheria toxoids (Td) vaccine booster dose. Adolescents aged 13–18 years who did not receive Tdap while they were 11–12 years old or received only Td should also receive a dose of Tdap in certain cases.10 While Tdap is the preferred vaccine, Td can be administered in situations where Tdap is not available.10 One dose of MCV4 should be administered at 11–12 years of age with catch-up vaccination for adolescents aged 13–18 years who have not been previously vaccinated. Meningococcal polysaccharide vaccine (MPSV4) is an acceptable alternative to MCV4, though administration of MCV4 is preferred. The three-dose quadrivalent HPV vaccine regimen should be given routinely to all females aged 11–12 years, with catch-up vaccination for older females (aged 13–26 years). The bivalent HPV vaccine was not available in the US in 2008.
While these recommended vaccines provide substantial health benefits, many adolescents may never receive them. The 2008 National Immunization Survey-Teen (NIS-Teen) found that 28% of 13–17 year-old adolescents had not received any doses of tetanus booster vaccine (Tdap, Td or unknown tetanus booster vaccine type) since age 10, 58% had not received meningococcal vaccine (MCV4 or unknown meningococcal vaccine type), and 63% of female adolescents had not received any doses of HPV vaccine.13 Although Healthy People 2010 did not set goals for HPV or meningococcal vaccination, current tetanus booster vaccination rates are well below the goal of 90% coverage.14
Recent research has identified correlates of HPV vaccination among adolescent females, including older age, having health insurance coverage, recent utilization of healthcare, doctor's recommendation to get vaccinated, and their parents' beliefs about the vaccine.15–19 Less is known about correlates of tetanus booster and meningococcal vaccination among adolescents, though NIS-Teen data suggest uptake of these vaccines may differ by age and race.13 Furthermore, to our knowledge, the existing literature has not examined uptake of all three recommended adolescent vaccines, the preferred public health outcome. We aimed to characterize vaccination coverage of tetanus booster, meningococcal and HPV vaccines among adolescent females from southeastern North Carolina. We examined characteristics of adolescent females, their parents and their households as potential correlates of vaccination.
Of 1,220 eligible parents contacted, 889 (73%) completed baseline interviews.20 Of 873 baseline respondents eligible for follow-up, 650 (74%) completed follow-up interviews.21 Three parents prematurely ended their follow-up interviews. Thus, we report data obtained during follow-up interviews with parents on vaccination histories of 647 adolescent females aged 11–20 years (who were aged 10–18 years at the time of baseline interviews).
Most parents were 40 years of age or older (79%), female (94%), non-Hispanic white (74%) or non-Hispanic African American (20%), had at least some college education (81%), and reported a household income of $60,000 or more (56%) (Table 1). Half lived in rural areas. The daughters' mean age was 16 years old (range 11–20), and most parents indicated their daughters had private health insurance (82%) and had a preventive care visit in the last year (83%).
Few parents (17%, 111/647) reported their daughters had received all three recommended adolescent vaccines. However, most indicated their daughters had received one (42%, 273/647) or two (33%, 212/647) of these vaccines (Fig. 1). Most parents reported their daughters had received tetanus booster vaccine (Td or Tdap; 87%; 565/647), but fewer reported their daughters had received meningococcal vaccine (MCV4 or MPSV4; 36%; 234/647) or initiated the HPV vaccine series (36%; 231/647). Eight percent (51/647) of parents reported their daughters had not received any of the three recommended adolescent vaccines.
In bivariate analyses, daughters who were older or had preventive care visits in the last year had received a greater number of the three recommended adolescent vaccines (Table 2). Daughters whose parents had at least some college education or reported a household income of $60,000 or more (compared to parents who reported a household income of less than $60,000) had also received more of these vaccines.
Multivariate analyses yielded similar results. Daughters aged 13–15 years (OR = 1.70, 95% CI: 1.09–2.64) or 16–20 years (OR = 2.28, 95% CI: 1.51–3.44) had received a greater number of these recommended adolescent vaccines compared to daughters aged 11–12 years. Daughters who had preventive care visits in the last year (OR = 4.81, 95% CI: 3.14–7.34) or whose parents had at least some college education (OR = 1.90, 95% CI: 1.29–2.80) had also received a greater number of these vaccines.
In multivariate analyses, tetanus booster vaccination was more common among daughters aged 16–20 years compared to those aged 11–12 years (OR = 2.00, 95% CI: 1.09–3.67) (Table 3). Parents were also more likely to report tetanus booster vaccination if their daughters had preventive care visits in the last year (OR = 2.94, 95% CI: 1.74–4.95) or had also received meningococcal vaccine (OR = 2.66, 95% CI: 1.44–4.90).
For meningococcal vaccination, daughters aged 16–20 years were more likely to have been vaccinated compared to those aged 13–15 years in multivariate analyses (OR = 1.68, 95% CI: 1.13–2.50) (Table 3). Meningococcal vaccination was also more common among daughters who had received tetanus booster vaccine (OR = 2.85, 95% CI: 1.53–5.33) or at least one dose of HPV vaccine (OR = 2.29, 95% CI: 1.60–3.27).
In multivariate analyses, daughters aged 13–15 years (OR = 2.31, 95% CI: 1.32–4.04) or 16–20 years (OR = 2.04, 95% CI: 1.21–3.44) were more likely to have received one or more doses of HPV vaccine compared to those aged 11–12 years (Table 3). Parents were also more likely to report HPV vaccination if their daughters had preventive care visits in the last year (OR = 7.24, 95% CI: 3.55–14.78), their daughters had also received meningococcal vaccine (OR = 2.27, 95% CI: 1.60–3.23) or the parents had at least some college education (OR = 1.69, 95% CI: 1.04–2.73).
Few parents responded "don't know" to vaccination items for tetanus booster (n = 15) and HPV (n = 9) vaccines, while 99 parents indicated they did not know if their daughters had received meningococcal vaccine. We conducted sensitivity analyses to explore the effect of classifying daughters whose parents responded "don't know" to vaccination items as "not vaccinated." When we excluded these daughters from analyses, the results did not meaningfully change for any of the outcomes examined (data not shown), giving us confidence in our findings.
Despite national recommendations for HPV, tetanus booster and meningococcal vaccines,12 vaccination levels among adolescent females in these five North Carolina counties were suboptimal, with just 17% of parents indicating their daughters had received all three vaccines. To our knowledge, this represents the first estimate of having received all three of these recommended vaccines among adolescent females. The percentage of parents who reported their daughters had received tetanus booster vaccine was slightly below the Healthy People 2010 goal of 90% vaccine coverage (set for adolescents aged 13–15 years),14 and meningococcal and HPV vaccination levels were much lower.
HPV vaccine uptake in our study was highly similar to the 2008 NIS-Teen estimate for North Carolina (36% vs. 34%), as was meningococcal vaccine uptake (36% vs. 31%).13 However, tetanus booster vaccine uptake was noticeably higher in our study (87% vs. 64%).13 While the difference in tetanus booster vaccine uptake may be partly due to reliance on parental reports of daughters' vaccination histories (NIS-Teen estimates are based on provider records), we believe it is more likely due to the recent Tdap school requirements in North Carolina. Beginning in August 2008, the state required all 6th grade students attending public schools (and 12 year olds in non-public schools) to receive a booster dose of Tdap, provided it had been five or more years since their last dose of Td.22 North Carolina also required individuals enrolling in a college or university for the first time on or after July 1, 2008 to receive a booster dose of Tdap, provided Td or Tdap had not been administered within the past 10 years.22 As data collection for this study occurred exclusively after these requirements went into effect (whereas NIS-Teen was conducted both before and after), our results may simply reflect the effectiveness of the new Tdap school requirements. School requirements do not currently exist in North Carolina for HPV or meningococcal vaccination.22
Interestingly, the correlates of vaccination were similar across the four outcomes examined in our analyses. Daughters whose parents indicated they had preventive care visits in the last year were often more likely to have received recommended adolescent vaccines. However, while most (83%) daughters had a preventive care visit in the last year, relatively few of these daughters had received all three vaccines, suggesting missed opportunities to vaccinate.23 Developing and implementing a standard of care and structured visits for adolescents, including an adolescent immunization platform,24 may decrease such missed opportunities. Physician vaccination reminder systems can also help increase vaccination levels,25,26 yet remain underused by healthcare providers.27 Furthermore, almost 20% of parents indicated their daughters did not have a preventive care visit within the last year, despite recommendations that all adolescents should have such visits annually.28,29 For these adolescents, alternative vaccination settings, such as school-based health centers, may be an option to consider for increasing vaccination.30
Adolescents who received one of the recommended vaccines examined in this study were often more likely to have received other recommended adolescent vaccines examined (e.g., receipt of tetanus booster vaccine was correlated with meningococcal vaccination). Concomitant administration of adolescent vaccines could capitalize on the tendency of adolescents who get one vaccine to also get others. ACIP currently recommends administering tetanus booster and meningococcal vaccines during the same healthcare visit if both are indicated and available.10 ACIP also currently states that HPV vaccine can be administered at the same visit as other adolescent vaccines, because concomitant administration is likely to increase the number of adolescents receiving vaccines on schedule.11 Although parents and healthcare providers have expressed concerns about concomitant administration of childhood vaccines,31,32 most parents have allowed their children to receive multiple recommended vaccines during the same visit.33 Additional research on the acceptability of concomitant administration of adolescent vaccines to both adolescents and parents is needed.
Vaccination tended to be lower among younger adolescents in our study, even though all three vaccines have the same target age group of 11–12 year-old adolescents. Other studies have also reported lower levels of HPV and meningococcal vaccination among younger adolescents.15,34 While some unvaccinated 11–12 year olds may have not yet had the opportunity to receive all three vaccines but will eventually receive them, it is concerning that many may not. About one-third of all pertussis cases occur among 11–18 year olds,10 and adolescents ages 11–19 years have rates of meningococcal disease higher than the general population.6 College students living in dormitories also face high rates of meningococcal disease.6 About 9% of females ages 14–19 years have serologic evidence of infection with at least one HPV type contained in the quadrivalent vaccine.35 Increasing vaccination among younger adolescents may help reduce the prevalence of these diseases among adolescents.
Our study has several important strengths including interviewing a large sample of parents, examination of three recommended adolescent vaccines, and a good response rate. While our assessment of vaccination relied on parental reports that may be subject to recall and social desirability error, previous research has shown parents can accurately recall their young children's influenza vaccination status.36 Furthermore, HPV and meningococcal vaccine uptake was comparable to estimates from the 2008 NIS-Teen, as discussed previously.13 We did not collect information regarding which meningococcal (MPSV4 or MCV4) or tetanus booster (Tdap or Td) vaccines adolescents received, the timing of vaccine delivery, or the presence of existing conditions that may contraindicate vaccination. We also did not collect information on some constructs that may be important to vaccination behaviors or specific reasons why daughters had not received all vaccines. Since we interviewed parents from only one geographic region who had a landline telephone and spoke English, the generalizability of the findings to populations that have different characteristics is not yet known.
Vaccination coverage among adolescent females was suboptimal, with few parents indicating their daughters had received all three recommended adolescent vaccines: tetanus booster, meningococcal and HPV vaccines. Ensuring annual preventive care visits and reducing missed opportunities for vaccination at existing visits, perhaps by increasing concomitant administration of adolescent vaccines, may help increase vaccine uptake.
This study is part of the Carolina HPV Immunization Measurement and Evaluation (CHIME) Project that investigated HPV vaccine decision making in an area where women are at relatively high risk of invasive cervical cancer. In one component of the CHIME Project, caregivers of adolescent females participated in a two-phase longitudinal study described in detail in references 20 and 21. This report includes crosssectional data from the follow-up interviews, since data on adolescent vaccines (other than HPV vaccine) were not collected at baseline.
In brief, eligible counties in North Carolina, US had (1) rates of invasive cervical cancer substantially higher than the national average (i.e., incidence >10 cases/100,000 women annually from 1993–2003 and mortality >4 cases/100,000 women annually from 1994–2004), (2) 20% or more African American residents and (3) at least 1,500 girls in the targeted age range of 10–18 years (to allow for a minimum number of caregivers). We selected four rural counties (Duplin, Harnett, Sampson and Wayne) and a fifth urban county (Cumberland) that were geographically clustered in the southeastern part of the state.20
In these five counties, trained interviewers from the University of North Carolina Survey Research Unit contacted a probability sample of households using random-digit-dialing (5%) or a non-overlapping targeted-list frame of directory-listed residential telephone numbers with available recent household demographic information (95%). They oversampled households likely to contain an adolescent female in the targeted age range of 10 to 18 years old, households likely to be African American and rural telephone exchanges.37
Trained personnel used computer-assisted telephone interviewing equipment to interview parents, grandparents, or any other individual who self-identified as being responsible for the adolescent's care. Interviewers attempted to speak with female caregivers, if possible, but interviewed male caregivers if a female caregiver was unavailable. Interviewers prioritized female caregivers as they may be more knowledgeable about their daughters' vaccination histories. We refer to caregivers as parents throughout the paper. If a household contained more than one 10–18 year-old female, interview software randomly selected one as the index child for the interviews. Interviewers conducted baseline interviews between July and October 2007 and follow-up interviews between October and November 2008. Parents gave verbal consent for the study and received $10 US for their participation in each survey. The Institutional Review Board at the University of North Carolina approved the study.
The follow-up survey collected data on uptake of three vaccines recommended for adolescent females:12 meningococcal vaccine (MCV4 or MPSV4), tetanus booster vaccine (Tdap or Td) and HPV vaccine. For meningococcal vaccine, interviewers asked parents, "Has [name] received a meningitis shot, sometimes called Menactra or Menomune?" The survey assessed tetanus booster vaccination using the item, "Has [name] received a tetanus booster, also called Td or Tdap shot? Tetanus boosters are given every 10 years. The first booster is usually given around 11 or 12 years of age." For HPV vaccine, interviewers asked parents, "Has [name] had any shots of the HPV vaccine?" Interviewers also provided parents with alternate names for HPV vaccine (e.g., cervical cancer vaccine) at the beginning of the survey. While we acknowledge that three doses of HPV vaccine may be required for full vaccine effectiveness, we focus on HPV vaccine initiation (one or more doses received) in this report.
For each vaccine, we classified daughters as "vaccinated" (parents responded "yes" to the appropriate vaccination item) or "not vaccinated" (parents responded "no" or "don't know" to the appropriate vaccination item). We also counted how many of these three recommended adolescent vaccines each daughter had received (possible range = 0–3). Interviewers collected information on various demographic and health-related factors, which we examined as potential correlates of vaccination. We based urbanicity on the census block where the parent was living.37
The primary outcome was a four-level ordinal variable indicating how many of the three vaccines (tetanus booster, meningococcal and at least one dose of HPV vaccine) daughters had received. We used ordinal logistic regression models to identify bivariate correlates. We then entered statistically significant bivariate correlates (p < 0.05) into a multivariate ordinal logistic regression model. Analyses met the assumption of proportional odds using methods described by Hosmer and Lemeshow.38
In subsequent analyses, we examined tetanus booster vaccination, meningococcal vaccination and HPV vaccination as additional separate outcomes using binary logistic regression. For each outcome, we constructed models using the previously described procedure, though we report only multivariate findings to conserve space. All analyses were unweighted and conducted using SPSS 17.0 (Chicago, IL) and Intercooled Stata Version 11.0 (College Station, TX). Statistical tests were two-tailed using a critical alpha of 0.05.
This study was funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (S3715-25/25), the American Cancer Society (MSRG-06-259-01-CPPB), and the Cancer Control Education Program at Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center (Grant No. R25 CA57726).

Patient Engagement: Key Element Missing in Healthcare Decisions
We all are patients at some point and experience the challenges of making important healthcare decisions, often with less information then we need to make informed decisions. Having a "patient-centered" health system is a commonly cited goal of health reforms. Though there is general recognition that engaging patients in the critical decisions affecting their health are central to improving health and healthcare system performance, there are still significant gaps between what patients want and what they actually receive.
An IOM discussion paper, "Communicating with Patients on Health Care Evidence," released last year documented these gaps. Across several categories patients strongly agreed that our healthcare system isn't yet patient-centered. Gaps between what patients want and what they get included having providers who listen, explain risks, discuss the option of no treatment or test, take the time to understand the patient's goals and concerns, and coordinate care with other providers. Among people with one or more chronic conditions, 97 percent agreed that their care ought to be well coordinated between the various healthcare professionals working on their case, but slightly more than half felt that coordination was actually taking place. Given the health benefits and cost savings generated from coordinating care for the chronically ill, this gap represents an enormous missed opportunity.
Research on patient engagement demonstrates the largely untapped potential for improvement. For example, poor medication adherence rates cost the healthcare system $300 billion a year, but shared decision making when it comes to medication management improves both adherence and health outcomes for patients with asthma, diabetes, and other chronic conditions. For patients deciding to undergo elective surgery for hip or knee replacements, receiving a patient decision aid reduced the rate of both surgeries. Both public and private insurers have successfully implemented shared decision making programs resulting in lower cost and utilization, improved adherence to treatment, and enhanced quality and patient satisfaction. In a telephonic care support and shared decision making study, reduced hospital expenditures, improved medication adherence, and fewer patients opting for elective surgeries generated a greater than 3 to 1 return on investment.
This month's Health Affairs is dedicated to patient engagement including studies of promising models improving outcomes and lowering costs through informed decision-making and patient empowerment. Given the foundational role patient engagement plays in achieving the health improvements we both need and seek, this edition is a must read for policymakers and health reformers.

)(1) An organizational unit, or container, used to organize folders and files into a hierarchical structure. Directories contain bookkeeping information about files that are, figuratively speaking, beneath them in the hierarchy. You can think of a directory as a file cabinet that contains folders that contain files. Many graphical user interfaces use the term folder instead of directory.
Computer manuals often describe directories and file structures in terms of an inverted tree. The files and directories at any level are contained in the directory above them. To access a file, you may need to specify the names of all the directories above it. You do this by specifying a path.
The topmost directory in any file is called the root directory. A directory that is below another directory is called a subdirectory. A directory above a subdirectory is called the parent directory. Under DOS and Windows, the root directory is a back slash (\).
To read information from, or write information into, a directory, you must use an operating system command. You cannot directly edit directory files. For example, the DIR command in DOSreads a directory file and displays its contents.

- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg white
- 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup light corn syrup, or honey
- 1/3 cup canola oil
- 1/4 cup prune pie filling, (lekvar) (see Note)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup grated carrot, (1 large carrot)
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper or coat with cooking spray.
- Spread oats on an ungreased baking sheet and bake until lightly toasted, 5 to 7 minutes. Meanwhile, combine raisins with hot water in a small bowl; cover and set aside to plump.
- Whisk together flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt in a bowl. Whisk together whole egg, egg white, brown sugar, corn syrup (or honey), oil, prune pie filling and vanilla in a mixing bowl. Add the dry ingredients and stir with a rubber spatula just until the dry ingredients are moistened. Stir in carrot, the toasted oats and the plumped raisins with any soaking liquid.

Originally written on Pro Sports Daily | Last updated 5/31/12
Colorado Rockies outfielder Carlos Gonzalez hit a three-run homer off the Astros' Bud Norris in his first at-bat Thursday night at Coors Field to set a team record with home runs in four straight at-bats. Gonzalez had homers in his final three at-bats in Wednesday night's 13-5 victory over the Astros. Gonzalez tied a Major League record for homers in consecutive plate appearances, which has been done 22 times. He also tied the Major League record for consecutive at-bats with a homer. It was the 38th time that feat has been accomplished. Albert Pujols was the last to do it, in 2006. In his second plate appearance Thursday, Gonzalez was intentionally walked.

text: Fyr - I'm sorry if I wasn't clear in presenting my own perspective. I don't espouse communism or anything approaching what Marx saw as a socialism that would lead to communism. I'm happy with our capitalist society, even if I'm frustrated at times (as I'm sure you are) with the direction it takes occasionally. I also apologize for sounding condescending. Please believe me that I did not intend it. In fact, I believed that you don't have a very good understanding of communism and your expanded description convinces me that I was correct. Communism does not reward innovation or motivation and for that it will never succeed, as in fact it has almost disappeared from the world today, but beyond your reference to this in rather emotional terms, your 'understanding' is wanting. Your understanding that communism crushes "personal, religious, and economic freedoms and with brutal, merciless force advances its own ends because the means are justified" can be said equally truly of any ideology when combined with a totalitarian government. Class warfare certainly is not a necessary component of communism either. Lord knows the capitalism of the late 19th and early 20th centuries in the US fostered pretty darn strong class struggle until unions and effective governmental protections against monopolies and unfair labor practices brought the pot back from a boil (it still simmers up now and then in our society). Class warfare is most common in societies where there are dramatic differences among classes. We have a much greater difference in our country among the haves and have-nots than any communist country has ever had. As for communism not helping the underclass to achieve, it certainly has taken our country a long time to create a society where that is possible; we seem to be approaching it asymptotically and are unlikely to ever actually reach that point. As for this not being possible in a communist country, I would offer an anecdote from my trip to Cuba. I was in the country on a scientific visit. My hosts were two Afro-Cuban women. One of them is a highly regarded scientist in the Cuban Academy of Sciences. I asked them about their support of Castro and the Cuban government. Her reply said more about creating opportunity for the underclass than I could otherwise articulate. She said, "if it were not for the revolution, I would never have been able to go to high school, much less to the university and follow my dream of studying science; instead I would be cutting sugar cane as my parents did under the Samoza government." I don't think one needs to look very far to see that communism has no corner on the market of "propaganda" and a "captive press" to promote its ends. So, yes, I think you misunderstand communism, because you attribute many things to your understanding of communism that are common to many totalitarian and oppressive governments regardless of their economic ideology. My statement about China still holds; your suggestion that it is naive notwithstanding. It is hard to find anything about the economy in China today that Marx or Lenin would recognize as communist. Your statement that, following the Tienanmen Square massacre the Chinese government gave the people the choice of economic or political freedom has no basis in truth. They gave little consideration to relaxing their grip on political control and the economic reforms were already well underway in China by then. For what it is worth, there are abundant signs of economic freedom everywhere you look in China today, both in terms of entrepeneurship and professional fields. It is really pretty impressive and just about as scary as the red army. We have much less to fear from their army than from their rapidly growing economic, technological, and intellectual capacity combined with the tremendous debt our government now owes to China for spending so far beyond its means during the Reagan, Bush I, and Bush II years. Yes, they benefited handsomely during the Clinton years, too, but that mostly was in the trade imbalance and less in the purchase of US government IOUs. Our future is going to be hamstrung by that combination of debt to China along with its unregulated economic growth.

Killed two roaches while here, very dated decor, the floor around the jacuzzi tub was very flimsy and not well supported looked like a rigged add on to the room. The supports under the shower are weak or there wasn't one at all you can feel the floor bow under your feet. The shower head was very low, (I'm only 5'6") and I had to duck to wash my hair. The room was dirty when my husband and I arrived trash was left by the last people that stayed. Over all this was a horrible place to stay.

Five-star linebacker recruit Reuben Foster may have officially committed to Alabama back in February when he dressed as Nick Saban on signing day, but he is keeping his famous Auburn tattoo. Rather than going through the expensive and painful process of having it removed, Foster has had some additional work done to turn the ink into a tribute to his cousin Ladarious Phillips. Here's a closer look at what Reuben Foster's Auburn tattoo has become: a tribute to a fallen family member. twitter.com/AlexS_ESPN/sta… — Alex Scarborough (@AlexS_ESPN) May 1, 2013 Phillips, a former Auburn fullback, was shot and killed last year a month after Foster changed his commitment from Alabama to Auburn and got a tattoo on his right forearm to prove it. Foster says one of the reasons he wanted to play for the Tigers was so he could play with his cousin. He later flipped back to Alabama but insisted he would be keeping the tattoo. Here's what it used to look like. "I can remember like yesterday we lived by each other before we even thought about playing football," Foster recently told ESPN's Alex Scarborough. "We're family. I'd borrow his Auburn shorts — I'm wearing them now." Any time a high-profile player flips his commitment from one SEC school to another, they know they are going to be hated. Foster is prepared for that. "Man, the Iron Bowl is going to be crazy," he said. "Anytime I make a tackle or step on the field or even get near something it's going to be 'Boo!' I tell myself if I hear that it won't do anything to me. I'll laugh. You boo me, I'll give you something to boo about." While there's something that doesn't look right about an Auburn tattoo on an Alabama player's arm, you can't fault Foster for paying tribute to his cousin. If that helps him deal with a difficult tragedy, hearing boos because of it is worthwhile.

Born: 11/23/1992
Birth Place: Franklin, Tennessee, USA
Born Destiny Hope Cyrus on Nov. 23, 1992, Cyrus was the middle child of six and was dubbed Smiley - shortened to Miley - due to her sunny outlook and beaming grin when she was a baby. Cyrus got an early taste of the performer's lifestyle, thanks to her country star-turned-actor father, Billy Ray, who topped the charts in the 1990s with the best-selling single, "Achy Breaky Heart." As a toddler, she frequently appeared onstage at his concerts and performed a song or two with her dad. When the elder Cyrus transitioned into acting, his daughter caught the bug and was granted a few guest appearances on his TV series "Doc" (PAX, 2001-04). This led to a small role in Tim Burton's fantasy feature, ... Continue Bio >>

"I have ordered this card twice, once for both of my girls. These cards are beautifully designed and give you the option for multiple pictures, easy to read information and even a quote you can change on the bottom. The cards have a nice sturdy paperweight and the photos are printed beautifully. I would recommend these cards."
"This product is above satisfactory! The paper quality is excellent and the pictures printed beautifully on this paper. I would order these again and was very happy with how quickly they arrived in the mail as well."
"Several people who received the announcement absolutely loved it. I thought it was an incredibly beautiful and well put together product. The pearl shimmer was the icing on the cake for this product. I have absolutely have no idea how my dedication invitations can possibly top this layout and style. Truly very elegant design and I am extremely pleased with it."
"It was so hard to find a simple, stylish baby announcement card design! I just switched the back side colour to white and added three small photos to put some artistic shots of her feet etc and it looked great. This was very simple but beautiful and let the baby be the star of the show! :)"
"These announcements are beautiful. On the front, I used a picture of my daughter taken on a creamy white blanket, and the full-bleed use of the photo with the gray text and light doily embellishments was lovely. I received several compliments. I do not think a photo with a darker background would work well with this design. On the back, I chose to use two smaller photos with captions on the simple white/cream background. In the captions, I wrote about why we chose her name since she is named after my late father and my husband's grandmother. It looked clean and was easy to read, and people responded well to that personalized touch. I also chose to use the matte paper so that I could write notes on the back, and it worked perfectly. I would definitely recommend this design, but I would caution anyone that only certain photos will work well with the design elements on the front."

Ban on school Christmas carols upheld
The case was brought under the First Amendment's Establishment Clause, which requires the government to be neutral toward religion, Muise said.
"The whole idea of diversity and tolerance, you learn those traits by understanding other people's traditions and religious traditions," he said.
The South Orange-Maplewood policy, which says its goal is to "foster mutual understanding and respect for the right of all individuals regarding their beliefs," permits religious music to be taught in the curriculum. But the music cannot be used to celebrate religious concepts, events or holidays.
Muise said by banning it from performance, the district essentially kept religious songs out of the curriculum because "teachers tend to have students learn in class what they're going to perform" at a concert.
He also said that despite the district's stated policy, prior to 2004 some holiday concerts did contain Christmas music. In 2003, for example, according to the petition, one holiday concert included "Joy to the World," ''O Come all Ye Faithful," ''Hark, the Herald Angels Sing" and "Silent Night."
He said the policy also prohibits "any printed programs for any holiday concert to have any graphics which refer to the holidays, such as Christmas trees and dreidels."

[quote:HOmeBOund 1371470:MV8yMDU0NjE3XzM0NTY1MTU2X0IyQzhGMENC] [quote:Anonymous Coward 27996070:MV8yMDU0NjE3XzM0NTYyMjc2XzFGNkYxNEE5] [quote:waterman:MV8yMDU0NjE3XzM0NTYyMTMyXzdFMjhBQkVE] The "Nobody" is the 2nd witness of the two witnesses in revelation. When God sends 2 you always see one being greater than the other, Moses and Aaaron, Jesus and John, Adam and Eve, Joshua and Zerubabbel, etc. In Malachi 4:5-6 We see God will send Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord. the "great" day of the lord came when Jesus was on earth and John the baptist was Elijah if you can except it Jesus said. When the terrible day of the Lord comes in the end then again Elijah will come as a forerunner to this "Nobody" which will be Gods greatest servant and so much is written about the "Nobody" but is hidden in the shadow of many verses that people think refer to Jesus and make Jesus out to be a sinner, example in the book of Isaiah Jacob, my servant is the "Nobody" but churches make it out to be Jesus. Jacob is described as a liar and a worm before he starts his ministry and name is changed to Israel..this is not Jesus. We know from Zechariah Joshua and Zerubabbel are the two anointed that stand by the Lord of the Earth and match the description of the two witnesses in Revelation. What are Joshua and Zerubbabel doing in zechaariah, they are rebuilding the temple after the destruction of Israel with the remant of the people. This is what the 2 witnesses will do after the destruction of the united states and people go into slavery into other countries for 42 months prior to the 7 year tribulation. Although the two witnesses build the spiritual temple(when you accept Jesus as savior you become the temple of God and the two witnesses preach the message they are annointed to preach and people become spiritual temples and collectively they are all one temple of God that cannnot be destroyed like the other 2 temples of God were destroyed. The antichrist and the false prophet at the same time will rebuild the 3rd physical temple and Jews at first will think they are the long awaited messiah but only for the first 3 and half years of the 7 year trib. This last day "Nobody" will feed the children of God spiritually just like the story of Joseph when he fed the people physically [/quote] did you completely miss that the nobody is the christ? [/quote] "Then, if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Messiah!' or 'There he is!'---do not believe it. For false Messiahs and false prophets will appear; they will perform great miracles and wonders in order to deceive even God's chosen people, if possible. [b]Listen! I have told you this ahead of time. [/b] (Matthew 24:23-25) Read the 4 Gospels or the "Truth" as told by Jesus Christ's. These are the owners manual to life...eternal life. http://www.e-sword.net/ :hf: [/quote]

Ice Cube, Death Certificate
No stranger to controversy, Ice Cube stirred up a firestorm once again with his 1991 sophomore solo album, Death Certificate, which featured Cube standing over a corpse draped in an American flag and toe-tagged "Uncle Sam." The state of Oregon banned the use of Ice Cube's image in response.

Marine seismic studies like ours are routinely done in the oceans using scientific equipment and research vessels outfitted specially for these purposes. Collecting comparable data in a great lake in Africa requires creative repurposing of available vessels and adaption of scientific equipment.
Exploring the East African Rift
Driven by processes in the deep earth over millions of years, the East African Rift is slowly tearing the continent apart, producing earthquakes and volcanoes along its 2,400-mile track. A scientific team including Donna Shillington, James Gaherty and Cornelia Class of Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory is working in Malawi and Tanzania to understand the causes, the long-term evolution, and the real-time hazards.
Seismology as Performance Art
Ideally, seismic stations are sited in remote, quiet locations. But other considerations are important for a good station, particularly security. As a result, we placed most of our stations in towns near schools, hospitals or town halls, where people could keep an eye on them.
Surface Views of the Southern East Africa Rift Inspire a Look Underground
Driving around the Rungwe volcanic province in the southern East Africa Rift installing seismometers, we have the chance to observe first hand how geological processes in action create the most dramatic forms at Earth's surface.
Imaging beneath the southernmost volcanoes in the East Africa Rift
The last time we visited the southern part of the East Africa Rift, we were responding to an unusual series of earthquakes in December 2009 that shook northern Malawi. This time, we return to this part of the rift system as a part of a more comprehensive effort to understand the underpinnings of this continental rift.
In Ethiopian Desert, a Window into Rifting of Africa
A new study in the journal Nature provides fresh insight into deep-earth processes driving apart huge sections of the earth's crust. This rifting mostly takes place on seabeds, but can be seen in a few places on land—nowhere more visibly than in the Afar region of northern Ethiopia.
Return to Malawi: Bringing Home Instruments and Earthquake Data
In early May, Scott Nooner and I returned to Malawi to retrieve our seismic equipment and finally lay eyes on the data recorded over the last 4 months. Picking them up was vastly easier than putting them out. In contrast to the days studying out-dated maps and driving down dirt roads looking for sites, and […]
Reaching Out: Educating Specialists and the Public on Earthquake Monitoring
While installing our seismic network in Malawi, we interacted with everyone from scientists to schoolteachers, and journalists to villagers. The opportunity to provide information and education to Malawians has been the most rewarding aspect of our effort. We trained local scientists and technicians on seismic equipment and data analysis, and educated the public on earthquakes […]
Risks and Rewards: funding a technical earthquake response
A rapid technical response to the damaging earthquakes in Malawi produces both humanitarian and scientific benefits, and we hoped that both scientific and international assistance agencies would support our effort. Our seismic field effort serves two purposes: (1) to provide badly needed seismic equipment and technical training to the Malawi Geological Survey department (MGSD); and […]
High, Dry and Safe: In Search of the Perfect Site
The ideal spot for a seismic station is dry, quiet and safe from vandals and thieves. Seismometers record slight ground motions, allowing them to hear distant (and not so distant) earthquakes. But cars or even kids playing near a seismic station can produce ground vibrations that overwhelm the subtle sounds of earthquakes. Seismic stations include […]
A Rough Start
The magnitude 6.0 earthquake that struck Malawi on Saturday night, December 19, spurred us into action. We had been closely following the earthquakes there, but this one confirmed the unusual nature of the seismic sequence. It also happened to be the most destructive. Leonard Kalindekafe, director of Malawi's Geological Survey, asked us to come and […]

SAP Rising
By Christine Lincoln

In this spare and mesmerizing debut, Christine Lincoln takes us inside the hearts and minds of African Americans whose lives unfold against a vividly evoked rural community. As they navigate between old and new, between youth and responsibility, they find themselves choosing between the comforts of what they trust without question and the fearsome excitements of what they might come to know.
One young man's world is both expanded and contracted by stories he hears from a beautiful stranger. Another stumbles across his mother having an affair with his uncle. An intense friendship forms between one woman afraid she will turn out like everyone else and one afraid she won't. Lincoln's down-to-earth voice, saturated with the manner and details of the South, brings her characters to life with a remarkably light touch and an extraordinary depth of emotion. In Sap Rising, she proves herself one of those writers whose work transcends its own rich particularity to speak with clarity to the most fundamental elements of the human experience.

And OK, my Japanese skills are basic but my Google skills are great: I've found both the full text of the letter and multiple English translations!
There are English translations of the letters here:
Hirotsugu Kawaguchi's is clearly the best candidate to match what you have here.
So I found the kanji for his name (河口 博次) on this passenger list: http://www.webcitation.org/6JBvAE15
And googling "河口 博次 JL123" led me to this webpage:
Which definitely shows the same letter as your pictures, and has a full transcription. (The full letter was 7 pages long.)
(There's also a seemingly slightly different transcription at http://tsairuoyun.wordpress.com/201
So in short, this is definitely Hirotsugu Kawaguchi's letter, and it's the most famous, so aside from the translation at hood-online.co.uk you can find various other translations in articles about the crash.
I'll try to identify which pages/sections of the letter your pictures show, just a moment.
Here's a large, clear image of what seems to be all the pages: http://kuruten.jp/blog/userdir/0001

Delicious ice cream in such a cute shop. Love this place. Small town at it's best.

Love the outdoor seating. Especially beautiful at sunset.
Feeding the animals could be dangerous. I suggest wine as an option as well.
Thanks to Jersey Mike's for helping out with College Park Partnerships Nip & Tuck street cleanup. Lunch was delicious!
Buy your wiper blades here and they will install them for you for free.
Ask for Debbie, she's wonderful! She's been cutting my hair for years. I'll follow her anywhere.......
Pick up some herbs and flowers to plant from Blodgett's Nursery and some delicious fresh bread. Very sad that the pasta people have stopped showing up.
Great inexpensive after school care for elementary aged kids.
