The Department of Defense notified Congress today that Weapons of Mass Destruction Civil Support Teams (WMD-CSTs) from the New Jersey and Indiana National Guard are now certified. These teams are fully ready to assist civil authorities respond to a domestic weapon of mass destruction incident, and possesses the requisite skills, training and equipment to be proficient in all mission requirements.
They are the 21st WMD-CST, stationed at Fort Dix, N.J. and the 53rd WMD-CST, stationed at Indianapolis, Ind.
The teams certified today are part of the 12 teams authorized in the Department of Defense Appropriations Act for fiscal 2004. All 32 of the teams authorized in fiscal 1999, 2000, and 2001 have already been certified. This brings the total certified teams to 34.
Congress has authorized 55 WMD-CSTs. Twelve teams were authorized in fiscal 2004 and are nearing completion of the certification process. Eleven teams were authorized in fiscal 2005, completing the Congressional mandate to field at least one team in every state, territory, and the District of Columbia. These final teams will be certified by November 2006.

illuminating Objects
Illuminating Objects shines new light on unexpected objects from the decorative arts and sculpture collections in a series of small displays focused around one object.
The point of Illuminating Objects is to dust off (sometimes quite literally!) these wonderful , unexpected and largely unknown objects. Each object will remain on display for three months.
The project is delivered in partnership with interns from a variety of disciplines and institutions including SOAS, King's College London, the University of Kent in Canterbury, Imperial College and University College London.
Queen Anne Silver Coffee Pot
26 November 2014 to 1 March 2015
This Illuminating Objects display reflects on an early 18th century English coffeepot from the perspective of the cultural context of coffee consumption.
The display was researched and prepared by Maryam Ala Amjadi, a doctoral candidate in the School of English jointly at the University of Kent in Canterbury and the Universidad do Porto, Portugal.
4 June - 12 November 2014
The current object on display in the Illuminating Objects series is a beautifully carved wooden loom pulley used in textile weaving, made by the Guro people of Côte D'Ivoire in West Africa in the late 19th or early 20th century. The display was researched and prepared by Niamh Collard, a doctoral candidate in Anthropology at the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London. Her doctoral research is concerned with the educational and working lives of narrow-strip weavers in eastern Ghana and she is in the process of writing up her thesis, having returned from a year in the field during which she apprenticed as a weaver.
Iznik Dish
On display from 6 November 2013
This Illuminating Objects display showcases an Iznik dish (1560-65), researched and presented by Laila El-Sayed, a PhD candidate in the School of English jointly at the University of Kent and the Freie Universität in Berlin. The dish is interpreted through a textual analysis of the floral symbolism - the whirling composition is seen in the light of mystical meditations and the language of flowers through Ottoman lyrical poetry.
Filigree Drinking Glasses
24 July to 4 November 2013
The two glasses on display in this Illuminating Objects span this era of European glass making. The first glass is a beautifully patterned Venetian or Venetian-style goblet; decorated with a delicate white pattern which is echoed in the stem of the second glass on display- an 18th century English wineglass. This summer's Illuminating Objects is a collaboration with a student from Imperial College London. Victoria Druce is studying for a postgraduate degree in Science Communication and is interested in the science of the objects she is displaying: a Venetian or Venetian style 16th century goblet and an 18th century English wine glass.
German Miniature Picture Bibles
1 May to 22 July 2013
This pair of German miniature picture Bibles entitled Dess Alten Testaments Mittler: Dess Neuen Testaments Mittler, was produced by two sisters from Augsburg in the late seventeenth century. They were most likely designed for use in private devotion. The dish has been researched, presented and interpreted by Josephine Neil, a PhD candidate in Theology and the Arts, at King's College London.
6 February to 29 April 2013
This splendid luxury object is displayed on its own for the first time since it was acquired by The Gallery, as part of the Gambier-Parry bequest in 1966. The dish has been researched, presented and interpreted by Tanja Tolar, a PhD candidate in the History of Art and Archaeology at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS, University of London).
Mount Athos Cross
30 October 2012 to 3 February 2013
The intern responsible for the first Illuminating Object is Dr Eleni Dimitriadou, who recently completed her PhD in Byzantine art at The Courtauld Institute of Art, and is currently working as a Visiting Lecturer, in addition to her work as research assistant at the British Museum where she is cataloguing Byzantine material.

Working with Sensitive Skin
By Dain, New England, Skincare Contributor
Dain is a freelance editor and writer, who graduated with a Bachelor of Art in English. She expected to pursue an academic career but found her interests straying elsewhere–like beauty! She has dry, sensitive skin and is always looking for ways to keep her skin hydrated. When she isn't writing about beauty, she loves to play video games, cook (and eat!), and read.
Check out her blog, Ars Aromatica!
On me: a reaction to a magnesium abscorbyl phosphate serum, a derivative of vitamin C
As a rule, you don't treat sensitivity so much as avoid it. Unfortunately, because irritants are completely specific to the individual—for example, essential oils don't bother my skin, but I can't go near a scrub. People with sensitive skin must learn to read ingredients lists and identify irritants before they start. If you do trigger a reaction, it is time that heals your skin, rather than any products. Nevertheless, it is possible to alleviate some of the symptoms of sensitivity with skincare, though they are not quite as effective as your skin's ability to heal itself.
If you're experiencing damage…
It should resemble severe dehydration, perhaps accompanied by pain and redness: the skin's surface should be rough and dry to the touch, dead many layers down. This is generally the side effect of detergent-based cleansers, over-exfoliation, retinoids, and dermatological peels, but it can also occur if you are exposed to a harsh climate. Unless you're on a retinoid (follow your doctor's instructions), it's best to stop all treatments and switch to a basic regimen of mild cleanser and moisturizer generously applied while fresh skin grows back. When it's nearly done healing, a gentle exfoliant will buff away the dead, damaged surface.
If you're experiencing an allergic response…
Allergens are unique to every individual. An allergic reaction can be characterized by redness, heat, inflammation, hives, and itchiness. I prefer to wait it out, because it dies down on its own without any further ill effect, but you can apply oatmeal or cortisone to problem areas. Depending on the severity of the reaction, may want to consult your doctor before proceeding.
If you're experiencing inflammation…
Sunburns fall under this category, as does acne, some forms of rosacea, and contact dermatitis. Certain ingredients, such as the vitamin C on me shown above, can sometimes trigger an immune response that resembles acne, because the pores are aggravated, inflamed, and filled with pus. If you are acne-prone, it is advisable to approach your skin as if it were sensitive and not provoke already reactive skin with harsh skincare that can turn a mild condition into a severe one. There are a number of anti-inflammatory ingredients, such as salicylic acid, bisabalol, aloe vera, oatmeal, calendula, zinc oxide, and the essential fatty acids in many plant oils—and yet, some of these can be irritants themselves, depending on the individual. Always do a patch test.
If you're experiencing physical sensitivity…
Though anyone may encounter inflammation, damage, or allergies, thin skin is largely a physiological condition. Some people also encounter physical sensitivity when they're on retinoids. This is a deficiency in the skin's barrier function, so there is a higher incidence of the other kinds of sensitivity. You can reinforce the barrier with moisturizer, built up in several layers: a humectant solution in direct contact with the skin to aid penetration; a lipid barrier in direct contact with the environment to prevent moisture loss and any further damage; and an emulsion sandwiched in between. Look for ingredients like shea butter, plant oils, mineral oil, and anything that forms a barrier. It's not the same as healthy, resilient skin, but it helps buffer thin skin from the elements.

Chicago Tacos: A Personal Letter to Mercadito
I went to Mercadito once, and never felt the need to go back. The best part about most taco places is that you get to try many different types of tacos. Having to order 4 of the same tacos does completely suck the fun out of the experience. It is also so expensive. The food is good, it didn't wow me. It wasn't a very memorable experience. The things that I remember are the prices, the noise, and the hectic atmosphere.
I would much rather go to Big Star or Taco Joint.
@likenoneother - Taco Joint is going to open up in River North soon (they are already hiring so I would imagine within the next month or so).

Vodka from Sweden
Vodka from Sweden
> Absolut Cherry Cranberry Vodka ]
Size: 750ml
The true taste of sun-ripe cherries, fresh white cranberry and sweet plum. When we were to launch ABSOLUT CHERRYKRAN in the US in May 2012, someone said: "Its taste is so multi-dimensional, that you can make a sophisticated drink just by adding one ingredient." This is true, which makes ABSOLUT CHERRYKRAN incredibly easy to mix. As true as it is, we'd still like to tell you a few facts about our new flavor:
ABSOLUT CHERRYKRAN is smooth and mellow with a long fruity and berry finish with notes of sun-ripe cherries, fresh white cranberry and sweet plum. Just as with all other of our products, ABSOLUT CHERRYKRAN is made exclusively from natural ingredients and unlike most other flavored vodkas, it doesn't contain any added sugar or added preservatives.
In 1879, Lars Olsson Smith introduced the continuous distillation with which he made Absolut Rent Brännvin (Absolute Pure Vodka). Instead of the usual three or four times, the vodka was distilled an infinite number of times. ABSOLUT CHEERYKRAN is made the same way; the only difference is the taste sun-ripe cherries, fresh white cranberry and sweet plum. And, like the rest of the family, it's produced in Ĺhus, L.O. Smith's birth town. Since nothing of that will change, neither will the true taste of ABSOLUT CHERRYKRAN.
The main ingredients in ABSOLUT CHERRYKRAN are ABSOLUT VODKA and sun-ripe cherries, fresh white cranberry and sweet plum. ABSOLUT VODKA is made from water and winter wheat. The water comes from a deep well in Ĺhus where it's protected from impurities. The winter wheat is also grown in Ĺhus and differs from other crops: it's sown one fall, and harvested the next one. Days in between it grows under the Swedish snow developing its hard grain. Also, the use of fertilizers is minimized. Of course, the sun-ripe cherries, fresh white cranberry and sweet plum are as natural as the rest of the ingredients.
The richness and complexity of ABSOLUT CHERRYKRAN really make just a few ice cubes a perfect company for it. However, if you'd prefer mixing a drink with it, we won't stop you! After all, ABSOLUT passionately leads the creation of exceptional cocktails. With every new flavor we aim to take the cocktail culture in a new unexpected direction.

As we lead up to this weekend's airing of the VH1 Divas 2010 special on Sunday night at 9/8c, we thought we'd give you a sneak peak at a sketch of the outfits that Keri Hilson, Jennifer Nettles of Sugarland, Katy Perry and Nicki Minaj will be wearing during the event's opening performance. These dresses were designed by the renowned duo The Blonds, a hot fashion team perhaps best known for dressing Katy in her "California Gurls" video and making Miley's giant peacockian bird of prey costume come to life in the video for "Can't Be Tamed." If these outfits look this cool in a sketch, we can't wait to see the ladies wearing them on stage on Sunday night!
Be sure to follow @thefablife on Twitter all weekend long for VH1 Divas 2010 exclusive sneak previews of rehearsals, behind the scenes commentary and more, all coming to you live from San Diego.

In your letter, you point out how the landscape has been defaced by telephone poles and lines, electricity lines and substations, cell phone towers, coal burning smokestacks, etc... so tell me then why we would want to do the same thing to the Great Lakes? Whether I see them or not, the turbines would ruin the natural beauty of the Lakes, and I think it's fair to say that the Great Lakes are a magnet for tourism as they are now.
But more importantly, the Great Lakes are a remarkable ecosystem of plant and animal life. The Lakes have already suffered years of abuse from pollution, invasive species, etc. Why add more stress to this system? Is there no respect for these amazing Lakes and there natural systems? How many more destruction actions will the Lakes tolerate before they hit a tipping point and suffer permanent, irreversible harm? It's time to say no to offshore turbines and start protecting the Great Lakes.
Twister, the travel version: Right hand on Dash...
The Great Lakes are an amazing and complex ecosystem of plants and marine life. For years, we have stressed this ecosystem by polluting the waters, overfishing the native species, and introducing invasive species.
So far, the Lakes have been resilient and survived. But at what point will we tip the scales too far and damage the natural ecosystem beyond repair and recovery?
Please focus the wind farming efforts on inland areas such as landfills and wastewater sites, and practice energy conservation measures at home and at work. I believe it is time again to start respecting the Great Lakes.
Sadly, the one concept that doesn't appear in any of these postings is energy conservation. Would we really need to turn our Great Lakes into an experimental energy testing site if we all worked harder at energy conservation? You know, simple things like turning off the TV when we leave the room, powering down electronic devices at night, walking/biking/carpooling, etc.? I agree that we need to find an alternative to the traditional fossil fuel energies, and I do not support the development of more nuclear energy plants. But I believe that inland wind turbine farms combined with a sustained energy conservation effort could eliminate the need to permanently scar our Great Lakes landscape with wind turbines, fixed or floating.
I live by a very simple philosophy: you get back what you put in. This applies to my relationships, my work, my faith, and my community.
A community only reflects what its citizens put into it. If we want a different community, then we each need to give something toward that goal.
If any readers are looking for a few actions steps, here is a short list to use as a starting point. Please feel free to add more:
- spend an hour picking up litter along a roadway
- spruce up your yard and help your neighbor with his or hers
- volunteer one hour to tutor a student
- invite a student to job shadow you at work
- attend a city, township or county board meeting; ask questions and make suggestions
- donate a few canned goods each week to a local pantry
- help with a local non-profit charity event
- recommend local businesses to your friends
- treat yourself to a half-hour walk each day for exercise
- greet other with respect, politeness, and friendliness, even on a bad day
- be persistent about making our community a better place
These are just a few simple ideas. Most can be done at no cost. I hope others will add to the list If even 10% of the people living in our area put these steps into action, we would create a significant change.
The fact that you didn't answer my simple question speaks volumes. Thanks.
@Dutchman67 The Great Lakes are one of the few attractions we have in Michigan that our world wide guests and tourists come here to see. Haven't enough natural areas already been compromised for the sake of progress? By the way, your comment: "Can you grow up enought to open your minds to progress?" is insulting and belittling. And you mispelled the word 'enough.'
@SolarSurfer. How much stock do you own in turbine component manufacturing companies? Just asking...
For years, we have worked to remove ugly, unsightly industries from our shores. And now the offshore wind turbine advocates want to re-industrialize the Lakes? I favor alternative energies, but not to the detriment of our Great Lakes. Lakeshore communities need to take a stand and say 'no.'
There are plenty of open land areas that can be used for wind farming. Don't destroy the beauty of Lake Michigan by industrializing it.

It's been a while from the last time I wrote a blog about my personal updates. I guess I wasn't in the mood for it.
First of all, I'll tell you what I have been through lately. I was a bit lost from Gamespot and Fuse lately as I was working in Accountancy in a school as a replacement. It was the most demanding job I've ever had. My days back then used to be very busy and after working, I went to university and then I went home and that was all I used to do. I was too stressed out, my qualifications started to decrease at university and my relationship went to trash due to that. But not everything was that bad. Thanks to that job, I got the best Halloween party ever, my beloved 360 and some videogames :) And I learned a lot from that job. It was definitely a great experience.
I'm currently working as an assistant teacher in Marketing area. It's not too demanding and I'm being able to improve my qualifications at university. And I can do other things, like get into sports again and gaming more (which I love the most). The paradox is, that I feel strange with all of this free time sometimes. I guess I need to get used to it :P
As for video games, I got Dead Rising 2 and Modern Warfare 3 and I've been having fun so far :) I still need to finish Amnesia: The Dark Descent though, so I won't be getting any more videogames for this year. Oh well, except Saints Row Double Pack. I can never know what video games I will get for Christmas though ;)
A new week is coming up and with it, my busy life turns on. I have to make a long class tomorrow, prepare a presentation for Wednesday, a meeting on Thursday and so the list keeps on going.
Over and out, mates!
*Bonus Track* Artist Of The Day: Chevelle.

M+Box Now Offers Shared Accounts
200GB Available for Departmental Use
The University's M+Box cloud storage service recently expanded to include shared accounts. They offer 200GB quotas, and are available at no cost to departments or other groups that need collaborative storage. The accounts allow files to be stored and shared between multiple owners, and data remains assigned to that function even when individuals move on. Shared M+Box accounts are set up with a standard folder, and co-owners can access the files from their personal M+Box accounts. This avoids the requirement for a separate login. Each co-owner can add files to the shared accounts that are applied against the 200GB quota, rather than their personal 50GB quota. You can learn more or request a shared account at U-M's M+Box website.

The Reclamation Of Robert Garrigus
Continued (page 3 of 3)
"The amazing thing was that the guy I knew, he had a relapse. I never really spoke to him again. Ami's friend, she didn't keep in touch with her, either. But Ami and I hit it off," Garrigus says. "That's when you know things are spooky cool."
Garrigus uses the word "cool" frequently. But once clean, his game started warming up as he returned to the Nationwide Tour in 2004 and competed in his first U.S. Open, and then he qualified for the PGA Tour in 2006. However, only once in his first four seasons did he retain his card as he struggled with his concentration and consistency.
That's how he ended up in Memphis last June having made only seven starts because of his conditional status and having to rely on sponsor's exemptions. He was ranked 366th in the world. The benefit of almost winning seemed obliterated by the manner in which he lost. All of a three-stroke lead evaporated when he triple-bogeyed the 18th at TPC Southwind. Lee Westwood eventually won the three-man playoff over Garrigus and Robert Karlsson.
Not since Jean Van de Velde's meltdown at the 1999 British Open had golf witnessed such a thoroughly gut-churning conclusion to a professional tournament. Garrigus returned to Arizona a changed golfer, but he was not a changed man.
"I knew it was only a matter of time before he bounced back," says Ami, who wanted to go watch her husband, but was pregnant at the time and worried about saving money; Robert's season earnings were $80,455 before the tournament. "He came home, and he was so excited. Sure, he was disappointed, too, but he never once complained about losing. Robert is such a positive person that he looked at it more as a learning experience."
Garrigus can still picture how the nightmare at Memphis unfolded, how his legs quit on his tee shot, sending the ball left, and then how each successive shot he got faster with his thinking, with his routine, with his swing, until it added up to triple bogey. Then he bogeyed the same hole, the 18th, in the playoff.
"You want to know the truth? It didn't feel that bad," Garrigus says. "You've got to get there to blow it. Granted, I blew it, but I was whipping Lee Westwood's butt up and down the course all day, and then I gave it away on one hole.
"You have to learn from your mistakes. If you don't, you're stupid," he adds. "That's how Memphis helped me win Disney."
Garrigus arrived at Walt Disney World Resort last November as a new dad. His son, Robert, was born in September. He also arrived wielding a new wedge game, courtesy of some pointers he received from former tour player Jim Ahern. Garrigus trailed Roland Thatcher by five strokes with 18 holes to play but pounded the Magnolia Course into submission with an eight-under 64. He won by three. He made par at the last.
In addition to his performance at Congressional, Garrigus had another close call at the season-opening Hyundai Tournament of Champions. Jonathan Byrd beat him in a playoff. Otherwise, he hasn't been in contention often, and one of his chances was scuttled by a health scare. He trailed by five after 54 holes at the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am when he withdrew because of heart palpitations caused by dehydration.
"That was disappointing because I was playing great, and I don't give myself as many chances as I should," Garrigus says. "I still struggle with my concentration, staying in a round. It's something I'll probably always struggle with."
He was referring to the ADD. But at least it's his only demon now. "I look at what I've overcome, and I know that going through rehab and changing who I was is a lot harder than anything I'll ever encounter on the golf course," he says. "Most guys out here, they're groomed to be out here. I wasn't groomed for anything. I pretty much figured it out on my own, and that's pretty cool. When I play my best, I truly believe I'm as good as anyone."
And, as Garrigus can tell you, it's all about what you believe anyway. And the choices you make.

GENBAND employees volunteer for 'day of service'
More than 55 Raleigh and Durham employees of GENBAND spent May 30 volunteering in service projects around the region for nonprofits including Habitat for Humanity, Food Bank of Durham, Survivor Joe and Teaming for Technology.
They were able to help with a deconstruction project, sorting and distributing food, weaving emergency bracelets and other meaningful service projects.
The effort was part of GENBAND'S Global Day of Service. Around the world, more than 1,000 employees of the company, a developer of multimedia and cloud communications solutions. That put the company well on its way to achieving the yearly goal of 10,000 community service hours which will benefit more than 60 charities worldwide in the communities where GENBAND operates.
"Our Global Day of Service is at the core of GENBAND's DNA – it helps define our unique culture and allows us to give back to our local communities," said Robin Wright, executive vice president of human resources and corporate operations for GENBAND. "This year's Global Day of Service theme is 'Leaving Our Mark' and I could not be more proud of the commitment to volunteerism that our employees around the world have exhibited – not only on the Global Day of Service, but throughout the year."

Another local pizza restaurant has been damaged by fire.
City Fire Chief Joey Tanner says Georgetown Family Pizza on South Fraser Street in Maryvlle was "severely damaged" by a fire that began at about 2:30 a.m. today.
When firefighters arrived they saw smoke coming through the roof of the second floor. Flames were seen coming from a vent on the roof.
The fire was determined to be under control by 3 a.m. but crews remained on the scene for more than two hours putting out hot spots and working to remove smoke from the building.
Tanner said the cause of the fire is currently unknown.
One firefighter had to be transported to the emergency room for possible dehydration, Tanner said. He was treated and released and was back on the fire scene by 5 a.m.
Tanner said the rear and second floor of the building is used as an office and apartment. He said it was those areas that received the most damage. However, the restaurant did sustain smoke and heat damage.
Georgetown's Pizza Hut was destroyed by fire in December and is currently in the beginning stages of rebuilding.
At about 4:50 a.m., firefighters were notified of a possible fire at the Wilco at 401 Church Street.
Some of the crew on the scene in Maryville left that location to respond. Workers reported the smell of smoke.
Fortunately, no fire was located.
While the source of the smoke smell is not definitely known, there was speculation it may have been caused by a short in a credit card machine.

(KARE) His story is all over the internet, all over social media, but Joey Prusak will tell you he was just doing his job.
Prusak started working at the Dairy Queen in Hopkins five years ago when he was just 14.
"It's the only job I've had, the only job I've needed," smiled Prusak, who is now the manager and basically runs the place.
Back on September 10 he said one of his regular customers came in to order a sundae. The visually impaired man gave his order, paid and as he was doing so, dropped some of his money on the floor.
"Right then and there I knew when he dropped that $20 bill, game's over, he's not going to know," explained Prusak. "He just kept walking and that's when the lady picked it up and I thought, she's going to give it back 'cause she picked it up so quickly."

Sandhya Jha serves as founder and director of the Oakland Peace Center, a collective of 40 organizations creating access, equity and dignity for all in Oakland and the Bay Area. She also serves as Director of Interfaith Programs for East Bay Housing Organizations, where she organizes faith communities to advocate for housing as a human right and spiritual mandate throughout California's Bay Area. Former pastor of First Christian Church of Oakland and former regional staff with Christian Churches of Northern California-Nevada, Sandhya is the author of Room at the Table, the history of people of color in the Disciples of Christ, and Pre-Post-Racial America: Spiritual Stories from the Front Lines on the subject of race and spirituality in America. She serves as a consultant with Hope Partnership and an anti-racism/anti-oppression trainer with Reconciliation Ministries for the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). She is a faith-rooted organizer with Interfaith Movement for Human Integrity (formerly Clergy and Laity United for Economic Justice – CA) and is particularly proud of her podcast, Hope from the Hood, available on iTunes and at sandhyajha.com
(longer bio here:)
Sandhya Jha serves as Director at the Oakland Peace Center, a collective of innovative non-profits doing powerful work to create justice and peace in the city of Oakland and the Bay Area. In relationship with each other, we magnify our power and our work exponentially, and we can share and lighten one another's burdens. The OPC is also a physical space, and the legacy project of First Christian Church of Oakland, where Sandhya pastored for seven years. Sandhya is most inspired when she's working with others to build up a community of interdependence, or Ubuntu, which is at the heart of the Oakland Peace Center.
Ordained in 2005 at National City Christian Church in Washington, DC, Sandhya's passion is liberation ethics as an academic field and as a lived experience in urban communities. She has published "Room at the Table: The struggle for dignity and unity in Disciples history," a book about people of color in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). Sandhya is an anti-racism/anti-oppression trainer with the Disciples of Christ, a regular public speaker and preacher, and an occasional consultant for Hope Partnership's New Beginnings program. She has a book on race and Christianity in America forthcoming from Chalice Press this March. She served on the regional staff of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in Northern CA-NV from 2005-2013 and as pastor of First Christian Church of Oakland from 2006-2013. She remains active in her denomination in the work of anti-racism and congregational transformation.
Sandhya also serves as Director of Interfaith Programs at East Bay Housing Organizations, a membership organization that works to preserve, protect and expand affordable housing opportunities through education, advocacy and coalition-building in Alameda and Contra Costa Counties. She is humbled to follow in the footsteps of civil rights leader Rev. Phil Lawson in this position. Sandhya is the product of a multi-religious family and has been involved in interfaith organizing since her days in Washington DC with The Interfaith Alliance. Prior to that work, she served on the staff of Ohio Congressman Thomas C. Sawyer.
The daughter of a mother from Scotland and a father from India, Sandhya has been shaped by both cultures and their values, and she is also quick to point out that she has about the two best parents a child could ask for. She's the youngest of 14 cousins, the rest of whom live in India and whom she is desperate to visit.
Although she doesn't like to brag, Sandhya is pretty proud to have received both a Master of Divinity and Master of Public Policy from the University of Chicago in 2005, where her joint thesis was on the subject of "Public Goods, Public Bads, the Common Good and the Common Burden: Environmental Racism as a case study on the intersection of Public Policy and Theological Ethics." It probably goes without saying that she gets far more excited about urban policy than a normal person should.

(Co-sponsored by DOTC, PCA and CAI-Asia, in cooperation with the League of Cities of the Philippines)
Target Audience: LGUs of Highly Urbanized Cities, City Planners, Government Officials, Transport Sector, Private Sector, Academe and Civil Society
Background and Objectives:
The Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) and the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) has developed the National Environmentally Sustainable Transport (EST) Strategy and Action Plan in consultation with various government agencies and other stakeholders. The development of the EST Strategy and Action Plan was supported by the United Nations Centre for Regional Development and the Clean Air Initiative for Asian Cities Center through an Asian Development Bank project with a grant from the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida)
DOTC Secretary Leandro Mendoza opening the Forum
In addition, the DOTC has also sponsored the Building Environmentally Sustainable Transport (BEST) Award for local government agencies to encourage and catalyze the implementation of EST policies and projects on the ground.

Sadio Doumbia
Jan. 16, 2012
LEXINGTON, Ky. --- For the third straight season the Georgia men's tennis team was represented in both the singles and doubles finals at the SEC Coaches Indoor Championships, but the Bulldogs fell just short Monday at the University of Kentucky's Hilary J. Boone Tennis Center.
Starting the day out in doubles, the eighth-ranked team of senior Wil Spencer and sophomore Garrett Brasseaux fell by an 8-3 score to Ole Miss' team of twins Chris and Marcel Thiemann. Spencer and Brasseaux reached the finals with a pair of wins yesterday over two ranked Florida Gator teams.
Then in the singles final, 10th-ranked Sadio Doumbia was edged by the host Wildcats' No. 36 Anthony Rossi, 6-4, 6-3. Doumbia used two wins yesterday – including a quarterfinal victory over his teammate KU Singh – to reach today's championship match vs. the fellow Frenchman.
"We were just outplayed in both singles and doubles – our opponents played extremely well," said head coach Manuel Diaz. "But like I told our guys, this doesn't take anything away from the great weekend we had. There's something to be said for having representatives in both finals for the third straight year. We need to make some adjustments and continue to work hard, and we're looking ahead now to the start of the dual match season."
In 2010, Javier Garrapiz played for the singles title while Nate Schnugg and Jamie Hunt reached in doubles. Last season, the Bulldogs pulled off the SEC Indoor sweep as Spencer won the singles crown and the team of Garrapiz and Hernus Pieters claimed doubles.
Georgia opens match play this weekend, hosting Clemson on Sat., Jan. 21 at 1 p.m. at the Lindsey Hopkins Indoor Courts.

Prophets of Panic
By John Malmo
Memphis, TN – I love newspapers. Been reading up to three a day almost since I could read. So I hate it when I hear people say that the Internet will put newspapers out of business. Of course, I don't believe that's true. Any more than I believed that television was going to put radio out of business.

Album Reviews
Walls Of Jericho – The American Dream
Trustkill Records
Well thank f**k for that. Anyone unfortunate enough to have invested in Walls of Jericho's decidedly dodgy acoustic EP Redemption (reviewed/slated HERE) earlier in the year would have been quite rightly worried that the Detroit five-piece had lost their mojo for all things heavy. Sure, there's subtle clues here such as song titles like 'II. The Prey' and 'The Slaughter Begins', but as the crushing riffs of opening salvo 'New Ministry' rain down it's a relief to hear that normal service has been resumed... and then some. You see The American Dream starts off like a house on fire, with track after track of punishing metalcore melting into each other, and while that can usually be a criticism of an album on The American Dream it works wonderfully as an unrelenting assault on your ears. 'Feeding Frenzy' is what Walls of Jericho do best with Candace Kucsulain's unmistakable roar bellowing out of a harsh wall of metallic guitars. The album's title track contains the kind of brutal beatdown that will inspire kids around the world to throw bad shapes in the pit for years to come, while only aforementioned closing number 'The Slaughter Begins' harks back to the ill-advised Redemption, but this time around the track actually works well, providing a much needed calm after the storm.
There's no doubting that Walls of Jericho have garnered attention in certain circles over the years because of the rarity of them being a hugely successful female fronted metalcore act. If there's any justice The American Dream should mean that they attract attention for the mere fact that their a f**king excellent band.
It's good to have you back, just don't scare us like that again.

18 Of the Hottest Dads in the NFL! (Photos)
All eyes may be on who wins tonight's Super Bowl, but in our opinion, ogling over which dad in the NFL is hotter beats a big game anytime!
Tom Brady may be the star playing in tonight's game, but he's also the hottest man in the NFL – dad or not! And it wasn't hard to come up with a whole slew of other dads who give Brady and run for his money when it comes to the best looking NFL players.
Tony Romo, Peyton Manning, and Jay Cutler round out our list. Take a look below and find out which 18 players made our hottest NFL list!
Hank Baskett 1 of 18Hank may be a free agent at the moment, but he is certainly hot enough to grab the attention of former playmate and now wife Kendra Wilkinson.
Adrian Peterson 2 of 18Adrian has a smile that would light a million stars.
Chad Ochocinco 3 of 18Chad may have had his fair share of reality TV dating games, but anyone willing to give this guy up needs a few screws in their head tightened.
Donovan McNabb 4 of 18Donovan is a great dad and a big ole' teddy bear.
Eli Manning 5 of 18Eli and his brother Peyton both made the list! Good looks must run in the family.
Jason Taylor 6 of 18Jason has the perfect skin complexion. And take a look at this defined triceps!
Jay Cutler 7 of 18Jay and fiancee Kristin Cavallari are currently expecting their first child together.
Joey Harrington 8 of 18Yes, please!
Kellen Winslow 9 of 18Kellen looks like quite the muscle man under that shirt.
Kyle Boller 10 of 18Kyle has a jawline that most would die for.
Larry Fitzgerald 11 of 18Larry has some sexy calves. Don't you think?
Matt Leinhart 12 of 18Matt has quite the arms. And he's strong enough to be holding that heavy trophy.

What is the difference between reliability and availability?
Terry O
Refer to here:http://www.barringer1.com/ar.htm
Thanks Josh
That article was the inspiration for my question.
What do you think of the points made in the article?
Terry O
If it's reliable, it's available. However, if it's available it's not necessarily reliable.
Reliability is a state of knowing where the machine is along its failure curve. A spare can be available but without knowing its reliability it may not be available very long. However, if the spare gets you through the 'out of service equipments' repair then the pumping system is available; therefore, the process is available. Although this presents available, the MTBF will only be extended through a reliability program or so I think.
Sam Pickens
Although RAM is important, I guess not many do RAM modelling and simulation.
PaulB is a well respected authority in the field.
I am not sure if the majority of us need the maths lesson to understand, or even if it will actually help understand the terms.
Availability is simply the time an item is able to operate (operating time+standby time) as a ratio to the time in service. It tells us how much the cash machine can yield if we feed it with the required inputs e.g. raw material, power etc. and remove the product as it is made.
Reliability is the probability that at any point in time, it will operate correctly for a further specified length of time. For example, a pump has been running well for 3 months; what is the probability that it will run for 6 more months, 12 more months etc.
The two are related; availability depends on reliability.
PaulB says (incorrectly) that the two are never the same. He ignores a class of items called non-repairable, which are replaced with a new (or as good as new or AGAN) item when a failure takes place. Think of light bulbs, ball bearings, smoke/gas/fire detectors, emergency shutdown valves etc., and you will recognize what I mean. In all these cases, once we know it has failed, we will simply replace it with a new or AGAN item. In this specific case, the reliability and availability are numerically the same.
But for the majority of items, which are repairable, his comment is perfectly true.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Vee,

Here's my 2 cents on it.
Reliability is all to do with the probability that the system will function correctly and is usually measured by the MTBF.
Availability is the percentage of time that the system is capable of functioning correctly. This is usually measured by calculating uptime divided by the total hours for a given period (i.e. 8760 hours in a year)
You can always dig into the data to differentiate between planned and unplanned downtime to get a clearer picture of causes. When MTBF and availability are reviewed together it can give a better analysis of what is going on. For example, you could have a low MTBF but if the downtime is only a few minutes each time the failure occurs then the your availability could still be be very high.
If the system was switched off during a shutdown to allow maintenance or repair etc of other equipment / systems and is successfully started up again when the shutdown is over was it available? I think so but interested to see if others agree.
It's easy to forget the intent is to monitor the effectiveness of the maintenance effort. If you're lucky enough to have the data readily available, both availability and reliability can be tracked over time as a measure maintenance value. If the two do not track together, the relevant factor will be downtime. As an example, suppose maintenance becomes more proficient at repairing a recurrent failure, reducing downtime. Availability will improve but reliability will not be improved. Certainly, there is value to the improved maintenance efforts even though the root cause of the failures has not been corrected, and the reliability remains unchanged.
|<Rui Assis>
Availability is the probability of having a piece of equipment available to work at any moment within a certain time span (long enough to comprise several episodes of failure and repair).
Reliability is the probability of a piece of equipment not failing until a certain moment in time (mission).
Availability depends on Reliability and Maintenability (time to recover following a failure) but the opposite is not true. On the other hand, Reliability and Maintenability are independent of each other. You can have a machine with high availability although its reliability is low if it takes little time to repair or still you can have a machine with low availability despite its reliability is high in case the times to repair are long.
The attached spreadsheet is a Monte Carlo simulation model that allows you to simulate 1,000 episodes of failures and repairs (moments in columns E and F) of a critical component pertaining to a piece of equipment. The renewal of components is supposed to be a homogeneous Poisson process, that is, the failure behaviour of each component is exactly the same as the one that preceded it. The failure behaviour is according to a Weibull distribution (the three parameters are in cells C4 to C6) and the time to repair follows a LogNormal distribution (the two parameters are in cells E4 and E5). The mission is entered in cell C9. In cells O4 through X103, 1,000 moments of need of the equipment are generated at random between 0 and the latest simulated event (cell F2013).
After each iteration (by pressing the key function F9), you can observe:
 The reliability that results in cell H10. If you compare this to the theoretical value in cell H8, you notice that they are quite close – the former tends to the later as the number of iterations increase or the number of repetitions increase by calculating the expected value of cell H10;
 The availability (as a probability) that results in cell J10. If you compare this to the theoretical value in cell J8, you notice that they are quite close – the former tends to the later as the number of iterations increase or the number of repetitions increase by calculating the expected value of cell J10;
In cell J11 you have the availability that also resulted from the simulation but as a natural frequency instead.
In conclusion, the Monte-Carlo simulation model presented here proves my definitions of Reliability and Availability described above.

Reliability_Availability.xls (460 Kb, 115 downloads)
Let me just rephrase your question
1st Question : If the equipment's Availability is 100%, is the equipment said to be at its peak & reliable ?
Answer : NO, The equipment may be 100% AVAILABLE but have a low UTILIZATION or have not been utilized at all, hence availability is
not a measure of reliability but only when the machine is used. You drive your car to work and then you park it in your building, your car is 100% available but it was only utilize for a couple of hours, 1 hour going to your work and 1 hour going home
If the equipment's Availability and Utilization is 100%, is the equipment said to be at its peak and reliable ?
Answer : NO, The equipment may be 100% Utilized and Available but machine may suffer from errors and speed loss. Example a machine
speed need to be reduce from 1500 uph to 1200 uph so as not to deliver problems in quality.
In laymans terms, you might be 100% utilizing your car and using it 24 hours of driving, but you cannot speed up since if you do then you will hear a lot of unwanted sound in your engine, transmission, tie rod bearing etc and you know soon that it will break down if you continue to travel at the speed you want.
If the equipment's OEE is 90 % or more, is the equipment said to be at its peak & reliable ?
Answer : NOT EXACTLY, the real objective of OEE is not about achieving 85% or more but about satisfying the 3 components, in the case below
the equipment is suffering from a large rate of defects.
OEE = 100% (Utilization) x 97% (Efficiency) x 93% (Yield) = 90.21%
In this case the machine is failing
Hope this helps,
Rolly Angeles
You quote :
Availability is simply the time an item is able to operate (operating time+standby time) as a ratio to the time in service.
I think you are speaking about utilization and not availability, these 2 are different in my own perspective and from what I am teaching.
The machine may have been available but not utilized. But the machine can only be utilized if its available.
Rolly Angeles
In your article, it states MTBF or MTTF are these two the same or they are different ?
Appreciate any feedback from this,
In my opinion and understanding these two Mean indicators are entirely different but related in a way with each other, I'll explain later.
Rolly Angeles
I am not sure I follow your query, as I think we are saying exactly the same thing. You say,
How does this differ from
Availability is simply the time an item is able to operate (operating time+standby time) as a ratio to the time in service
As you correctly point out, Utilization is the ratio of operating time (read - driving for 2 hours) to total time, and availability is as I defined and you illustrated (read - driving + parked time).
As far as MTTF is concerned, it is only applicable when the reoair is to As Good As New (AGAN) condition. It is always applicable to non-repairable items, and for those cases of repairable items done to AGAN standards. Some people (incorrectly) bring in the issue of repair time, which is NOT the criterion to use. The point is that AGAN repairs bring the reliability back to 100% at the start of the new run, while other repairs do not bring it to 100%, so the item starts off its new run with a lower reliability.
MTBF, on the other hand is applicable to repairable items (I gave some examples in my earlier post).
The formula used for computing MTTF and MTBF is the same, but they are applicable in different situations.

I thought availability and utilization were two concepts long mastered by us all but after reading these last few posts, I myself became a little bit confused. Would you please point me out any desagreement in the following example:
One piece of equipment is available to work for typically 40 hours per week, that is, its capacity is 40 hours/week. Suppose two situations:
1. At one particular week it was loaded with 36 standard hours. During the course of the week the equipment failed while it was working and it took 2 hours to repair. Because (40 – 36) > 2, the work could all be accomplished and it took 36 standard hours or 37.5 actual hours (efficiency = 37.5/36 = 96%). In this instance, one may say that the availability was (40 – 2)/40 x 100 = 95% and the utilization was 37.5/40 x 100 = 93.75%;
2. At another week the equipment was loaded with 38 standard hours. During the course of the week the equipment failed while it was working and it took 8 hours to repair. Because (40 – 38) < 8, the work cannot all be accomplished and it took (38 – 8) + (40 – 38) = 32 standard hours or 30.476 actual hours (efficiency = 30.476/32 = 105%). In this instance, one may say that the availability was (40 – 8)/40 x 100 = 80% and the utilization was 30.476/40 x 100 = 76.19%.
Do you agree?
|<Rui Assis>
MTTF means Mean Time To Failure or "mean or average life" of a component regardless it is replaced or not immediately after a functional failure.
MTBF means Mean Time Between Failures and is the same as "the average time between two successive failures", therefore comprising the time to repair every failure, that is MTBF = MTTF + MTTR (Mean Time To Recover, Replace or Repair).
Suppose 3 failures of a component in a row (failure 1, failure 2 and failure 3) extending over a time span where event 0 is the origin of time and T is today. At moment 0 the component was working properly, at moment 1 failed and it was replaced by a new one, the same happened at moments 2 and 3. Today (moment T) the component is still working fine.
Call 1´, 2´ and 3´ the moments when the replaced components started again their work. Suppose that events (failures) 1, 2 and 3 took 1, 2 and 3 calendar hours to recover, that is, moments 1 and 1´ are 1 hour distant in time, 2 and 2´, 2 hours and 3 and 3´, 3 hours. Suppose furthermore that events 0 and 1 are 500 hours distant in terms of running time, 1´ and 2 are 700 hours and 2´ and 3, 600 hours.
In this instance, and from a management point of view, MTTF is equal to (500 + 700 + 600)/3 = 600 hours, MTTR = (1 + 2 + 3)/3 = 2 hours and, finally, MTBF = 600 + 2 = 602 hours. The most important issue here is to track how this indicator is behaving over the time (increasing, which is good, or decreasing).
Please note that, from an engineering perspective, the first interval (500 hours) and the last one (600 hours) should be censored.
If the system is not repairable, it doesn't make sense to address MTBF, of course.
In order to avoid confusion, I always refer a system as "being repairable in service" (the most frequent circumstance) or "not being repairable in service" (the case of a missile or a satellite after having been launched or still a parallel (redundant) arrangement of batteries located in a remote place where you go only from time to time on a regular basis). The missile and the satellite are "repairable" while they stay at the stores but they are not as soon as they are "in service". The batteries are not repairable in service, that is, while the maintenance person in charge is away, if one unit fails (the remnant batteries split the load), it will keep this way until somebody comes, notices and corrects the failed situation.

Rui, in a plant environment, I think instruments are normally not repairable so replacement is a common policy eg maybe transmitters, thermocouples, pressure gauges, sensors, etc. However, worn out trims of control valves of punctured diafragam of their actuators can be replaced.This message has been edited.

Rolly, If I remember correctly from what I read, in most cases, MTBF is different from MTTF but there is a special case where MTBF is approximately equal to MTTF. Maybe Vee is pointing out this special case where MTBF~MTTF.
I think there is an IMechE publication addressing this subject of repairable and non-repairable items quite in detail. I don't have the tittle offhands now.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Josh,

Best Move St. Louis 2005 - The Cardinals' middle infield
The off-season news that the St. Louis Cardinals would be replacing shortstop Edgar Renteria and second baseman Tony Womack with David Eckstein and Mark Grudzielanek (respectively) was greeted with skopticism -- which is to say, a mix of skepticism and optimism, and more of the former than the latter. But at this writing, with the 2005 season more than three-fourths over, Walt Jocketty's middle-infield shuffle looks like nothing shy of general-managing genius. Shall we count the ways? After losing the bidding war for Renteria, who turned down a reported four-year, $39 million deal to stay with the Birds in favor of four years and $40 mil to join the Boston Red Sox, the Cardinals went out and signed Eckstein, who'll cost them $2.3 million and change this year. While Renteria has struggled, Eckstein ranks fifth among major-league shortstops in on-base percentage and -- perhaps more impressively given his rep as an adequate infielder at best -- is tied for sixth in fielding percentage. Grud, meanwhile, is taking home a modest $1 million, hitting a robust .290 and sporting a fielding percentage of .989 (fifth among big-league second sackers). Together the two have anchored an infield that leads the majors in double plays. The move also freed up the buckage to assume southpaw Mark Mulder's contract from the Oakland A's. Still skopticistic? Didn't think so.

Beyonce: "Being a Role Model Is Something That I've Always Been."
Earlier this week the fabulous Beyonce appeared on 'Entertainment Television' to promote her new deluxe album that will be available exclusively at Target. She gave her fans a behind the scenes peek at her new Target commercial, spoke about being a role model and the story behind the title of her new album '4.'
On being a role model
Being a role model is something that I've always been. It's not something I became, it's something I was already because I had a younger sister and I believe that being a role model is something every woman is even if you don't realize it. There's always someone watching you, someone that admires you and I believe we help each other so much and I don't take being a role model lightly.
On how she named her new album '4'
I'm so excited about my new album, it's called '4' and it's my fourth album. To be honest with you, my fans actually suggested the number four as the title. I saw for the past year that they kind of claimed it. They just said "were waiting for '4', we're waiting for '4'" and I said "Alright fans, I think you're right."
On her new target commercial and deluxe cd
It's weird because I've traveled so many places and didn't get to see much and we thought that could be an interesting concept for the Target commercial. I think the fans are going to be so excited about this Target deluxe album version because I think some of my favorite songs I saved for Target. I was really, really struggling with out of all the songs which ones were going to be on the deluxe. I am someone that spends a lot of time on making sure that I don't just give a cropped version of the cover but a fresh new cover and makes sure people really get something different.

Mark Hunt Receives His Visa; Set to Fight Dos Santos This Weekend at UFC 160
By Jake Chastain
| After an odd sequence of events it seems that things for Mark Hunt and his scheduled appearance for UFC 160 next weekend against Junior Dos Santos are back on track.
We gained word about two weeks ago that Hunt, who stepped up to face Dos Santos after Alistair Overeem pulled out of the fight due to injury, was having trouble getting over to the States due to visa issues he was experiencing in New Zealand.
As the story continued to unfold we found out that the situation stemmed from an arrest that occurred way back in 2002. As soon as the issue arose the UFC was working on getting the situation handled as well as putting together a backup plan just in case Hunt couldn't make it.
Earlier this week the UFC announced that Roy Nelson was standing by as a replacement to face Dos Santos if Hunt didn't get his visa in time and then we gained word that Nelson was even cleared by the NSAC this past Friday to fight next week if need be. It seemed that Hunt, who is on a four fight winning streak and is one win away from a title shot, had just lost out on the biggest opportunity of his life.
Then, just when it seemed that Nelson/Dos Santos was the co-main on tap for next Saturday at UFC 160, Hunt broke word on his Twitter account that he has received his visa and is set to leave for the Las Vegas to take on JDS. Hunt wrote today (Sunday, May 19), "thank u for my visa father."
Although arriving in Las Vegas on fight week isn't the ideal situation Hunt was looking for he is happy to get things back on track and take his fight at UFC 160 with Junior Dos Santos. MMA Fighting's Ariel Helwani also tweeted that he confirmed with the UFC that Hunt has received clearance and is "likely" to fly out to Vegas this afternoon.
UFC 160 is set to take place this Saturday, May 25th in Las Vegas, Nevada and will be headlined by Cain Velasquez defending his UFC heavyweight crown against Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva.

Amazing Cannoli and rainbow cookies. Also saw some cakes that look better then the cake boss. These guys are the cake bosses of NY! Gotta go asap.
Posted by Bo on 08/01/2012
I'm so grateful this Italian bakery stuck it out and stayed in the neighborhood. Their stuff is really fresh and delicious. I am obsessed with their cannolis and can never pass one up if I happen to be passing by. They fill them right there when you order them and you can really tell how fresh they are. Filling is creamy and not overly sweet, just perfect. I think I'm gonna have to get one on the way home today. Also, they serve gelato in the summer - really good too.
Posted by code718bklyn on 05/23/2010
Excellent classic italian bakery! this establishment is the last surviving jewel of what used to be an all italian neighborhood. now surrounded by hoards of 99cent stores and latin cantinas, circo's is still serving up delicious butter cookies, custom cakes and the most amazing rainbow cookies i've ever had. the staff is friendly. everything is fresh.

Boy, how the time is moving. I can't believe it is Tuesday already. We have covered a lot of ground since my last post yesterday, taking advantage of everything to all hours of the night. These 1:30am bedtimes with 6:30am wake-ups are wearing on this advisor but we are going strong. Yesterday we spent the day exploring the old city of Prague with much shopping along the way. I'm not sure how these suitcases are going to accommodate all the bags I see the students carrying but there should be some nice gifts and remembrances coming home. The YMCA Festival finally kicked off last night after the storm delay. There was an atmosphere filled with energy and excitement as the ocean of young people descended on the festival grounds at 5:00pm. There were activities, music, dinner and networking opportunities going on all over. As the evening moved along, we decided to leave and take the tram back down to the Charles River Bridge which is simply breathtaking, both during the day and at night. Views of Old Town on one side and Prague Castle on the other keeps you standing in the center spellbound. We stopped for ice cream and worked our way towards the old town square which is as European as you can get with the old structures, spires, statues and obvious history. It was late when we arrived back at the hostel but quick showers and some sleep had us ready for the day today. We arrived at the festival grounds by 9:00am for a leadership training which took the morning. The afternoon has had us busy volunteering leading sports activities for the other participants, attending workshops ourselves and touring the extensive grounds. It is amazing how many things are going on for everyone to take advantage of from arts & crafts, dance, high ropes, singing songs, listening to music and just meeting people from all over the world. There are even two pools for the students to swim in which have been filled all day with young people due to the heat. A surprise was the huge tree house complex that many participants are actually living in for the week. Bottom line, we haven't been bored. It is still hot but we are making sure everyone is drinking lots of water. We are going to dinner shortly so I'm going to wrap up. I'm in a hotel lounge right now where I was able to find a WiFi connection waiting for the students to show up from the hostel. Oh, they are here now, off we go! Thanks again for the messages. We love them! Harry

Love all of the pictures!
ok, so I guess the hospital's in Prague are a bit shall we say, sparce? But I'm glad that the language barrier didn't prevent you from getting the emergency care you needed, how the heck did you get a Kidney/Bladder infection?!
Jessica, I really hope you start to feel better and thanks Emily & Erin for going to the Hospital with Jessica!
Ut-oh, I just heard that you are having hives, an allergic reaction to the antibiotics…please take some antihistamine and go back to the hospital if it gets worse. Nothing worse than being sick when you are away…you hang in there <3
