Elam's actions were not reported to The Plain Dealer by him or by the team. I received a call Friday from someone who works for Mental Health Services and who was just blown away by the Elam and the impact he was having on the kids.
Longest running, I think, refers to the number of shows -- and without interruption.
But you make a good point. Flanagan's Wake is a stalwart in town and, I hear, a ton of fun!
Sorry if it's not clear. I think the jump came at a place that could leave you scratching your head if you don't turn to the inside. It is a man with the same name and opposite viewpoint as the local Hagan.
Yeah, good catch. I wrote "nine through 16" rather than "eight through 16." It's obvious from the lead of the story that it should have read "eight through 16" because it says they've named 1 through 7, and now 17. That adds up to nine, which the story has correct. I've made the fix. And you got me. Math is definitely not my strong suit.
Thanks for reading.
MrLogic101: You bring up some good points. Yes, there is news of incredible importance breaking around the corner and around the world, to borrow an old Plain Dealer advertising slogan. And that's why our media organization -- newspaper and Internet -- strives for a comprehensive sweep. As you might notice from the front page today, the Justice Department has approved the merger of UAL and Continental, the state has issued report cards measuring school performance in Ohio, graduation rates in the state are falling, etc... We have news of flood in Pakistan in the A section, the governor's race in Metro and the drop in natural gas prices in Business.
In my view, there is a place for all kinds of information in the newspaper and on cleveland.com. My column is by no means indicative of the most important news of the day throughout the newspaper. Sometimes, my column deals in the serious and sometimes it deals in the bizarre and sometimes it's just a little story that might make someone smile. Just like I don't always talk world politics with my buddies at the bar, or economic policy with my friends at the coffee shop, I don't think the column always needs to be so weighty. If it's interesting to me, or funny, or offbeat, or informative, then I try to include it. If it doesn't strike a chord with you, the good part is there is a lot of variety. Perhaps the next item, or maybe the next column (okay, maybe the next column after that?) will be more up your alley.
Thanks for reading.
CapitolG: As I recall, Eddie Griffin brought up LeBron in the context of LeBron leaving and Eddie coming or something like that and I asked him to expound on LeBron, taking notes on his comments.
Funny line about Sarah Palin.
pigmeat: I'm not saying "Cleveland is doomed since LeBron left." Nor is the newspaper. I'm sure we'll keep covering important issues in the paper and on cleveland.com, but this column is a spot where comedians tell a few jokes and we tell folks where to go see them. Griffin had a lot to say about LeBron. Feel free to mix it up, I'm sure he doesn't mind.

clevelandis...: I'm not understanding your insertion of race into any discussion about this headline. I mentioned that the former sheriff is now a felon to explain why jurors found it odd, and somewhat funny, that the video they saw included images of him ensuring the integrity of the jury selection process.
wireless.phil: I can assure you this story is not a "rip-off" of any other story. I wouldn't be surprised, though, if this had happened elsewhere.
Canata51: I'm a big Dan fan, too. Talked to him today and he's loving the new gig and really hoping to make some positive impact in the community. You certainly have not heard the last of him.
I'd also like to thank you for continuing to listen to the program. It's been a pleasure to work with the folks at WCPN to put it on each day.
neoobserver: The part that shed positive light on the Clinic is, "Accessing these images on a computer so they're instant and expandable is a fitting innovation for the Cleveland Clinic."
Thanks for reading and taking the time to join the conversation.
Teemstro: The Jacobs folks have plans for the facility. Our story in 2009 about the aquarium, linked above, seems to be the current assumption for the facility. But it could be something else entirely. Stay tuned.
realpathway: I don't exclude any judge when writing my column on the basis of their political party affiliation. Your contention otherwise is demonstably untrue.
It is no secret to anyone that most of the judges in the county are Democrats. Are you saying that's The Plain Dealer's doing?
Former editorial page editor Brent Larkin hammered for years on the need for merit selection of judges, not elections, so I wonder how this is a creation of editorial board.
Hey mydogscat: I'm not the comment filterer, so I don't know what you're referring to. I appreciate your reading the column and participating in the discussion.
charliemanuel: Henry Gomez will continue to follow all of the candidates -- Republican, Democrat and Independent -- throughout the election. Occassionally, the news items will appear in my column, as well. Thanks for reading.
Folks: Sorry for being late to the comments section. Thank you for your input regarding the castle doctrine. I have a correction running tomorrow and will address the issue in the next Tipoff column.
A couple of points of clarification, though. After the law was changed in Ohio in 2008, there is a presumption of innocence when homeowners use force on intruders. It is not up to the homeowner to prove fear for their safety, nor is there a requirement that they retreat. If you enter a person's dwelling, it is presumed they act in self defense.
My correction tomorrow will point out that nuance and state that the law does not specifically allow use of deadly force to protect one's property (though it does make it mighty difficult to prosecute a homeowner who kills an intruder for whatever reason.) I also will note note that the castle doctrine applies to dwellings and vehicles, but not to outside property such as your yard.
Thanks for being such attentive readers. I'll strive to make these things clear the first time in the future.
ohwolfman: I can see where there would be confusion. Perhaps the headline writer could have used quotation marks around the play on words. The idea for the headline was borrowed from the name that the nuns chose for their cookie business, "Nun Better Cookies." Surely you're not saying the nuns are part of "the new breed of illiterates." I'd hide my knuckles if you are!

All-Terrain Cargo Wagon
Sure, it costs a bit more than the plastic version, but this fire engine red wagon screams fun so loudly, no kid could possibly resist taking it for a spin. At 33 1/2 inches long, the bed can easily fit two little loungers on a pile of pillows. The finished wooden stake-sides lift out, leaving a version of the red metal wagon you remember from childhood, and the extra long handle makes pulling easy. This Radio Flyer has a controlled turning radius to prevent tipping and a no-pinch ball joint to keep fingers safe. The final touch? Big air tires, so young kids can pull on bumpy roads, or drag it through the sandbox. (Radio Flyer, $144)

Need advice for new drum setup
I haven't had a drum set since I was a teenager, at which time I had to give it up because of neighbor complaints about the noise level. Since then I have lived in a series of apartments, so I haven't thought much of getting another kit. In a few months, however, I will be moving into a small ranch that my grandmother (who is now in a home) owns to take care of it until my parents decide what to do with it. The first thought that went through my head after agreeing to do this was that I would finally be able to get another drum set.
My main concern, given my previous experience, is keeping the noise at an appropriate level for my grandmother's neighbors. I have been looking at ways to dampen the sound, but then I started to wonder if that would even be necessary since it is a brick home. Do any of you live in brick homes, and if so, does the brick itself dampen the sound to a reasonable level for some later-night sessions? Or should I still be looking at ways to kill some of the sound (keeping in mind that I can't do anything too permanent to a house that isn't mine)?
Re: Need advice for new drum setup
Are you considering an electronic kit at all?
Re: Need advice for new drum setup
Hi, welcome to the forum.
Brick is probably going to be only slightly better -- and by slightly, I mean about 3-5 dB of difference perceived from outside the house -- than wood and sheetrock. It will also be a sound-reflective surface, which means subjectively it will be louder inside.
The consensus here on DW is that an isolated room-within-a-room build is the best way to reduce sound. The costs can run well into the dozens of thousands. Do a search on the forum for "soundproofing".
You didn't mention how close the neighbors are, what they do, how old they are, what other noises may exist in the neighborhood. Those are all important.
I personally am playing in a subdivision with the nearest home 35 feet away, in an untreated, sheetrock-walled garage. I play perhaps an hour or two every few days, and always at appropriate hours. I have talked to all my neighbors and been very upfront about my playing, but also provided them with a cellphone number to call if ever they have issues with the noise. And I would not set your heart on late-night drumming sessions. I can think of no quicker way to earn the scorn and enmity of your new neighbors.
Best of luck.

Re: Need advice for new drum setup
I would just set them up an play them and if there is a problem, let them start it. If you are in the basement, there should be no problem. Drape sheets rugs blankets if the basement is all concrete to suck up the reflections. This sounds like it might not be permanent anyway, why not just go for it?
Sucking all the fun right out of life....
Re: Need advice for new drum setup
Thanks for the advice, guys. Larry, I think I'm going to go with your advice. If it becomes an issue I'll deal with it then.
I had thought about an electric set. I remember liking Roland V-drums when I looked at them years ago, but they have always been cost prohibitive, and I really would prefer a good acoustic set. We'll see how addicted I get while I'm in the house- if I end up moving back to an apartment and can't live without them I may consider the Rolands.
Re: Need advice for new drum setup
I'm not offering a complete solution....or a solution at all now that I think about it. I will say that being in a situation that (semi-)forces you into playing at a lower dynamic, at least some of the time, will often help to mold your overall dynamics. That has been the case with me lately, anyway.
So, I guess I would advise to take advantage of the situation as much as possible, and play at low volumes if you wanna play "after-hours"...
Practice, Improve, Repeat...
Re: Need advice for new drum setup
i play in my basement.
when i had the kit for about 6 months i was outside mowing the lawn when i saw my next door neighbor. i asked him if my drum playing bothered him at all. he looked at me like i had 3 heads and said "i've never heard anything." LOL
so yeah just play and see what happens. chances are if you take the minimum effort to dampen the sound you'll be good to go especially if you're in a basement.
Re: Need advice for new drum setup
I have 1.3 acres and an older home (70's). I hit very hard and loud and never had a complaint.

NFL Hall of Fame QB collapses
Bart Starr, 78, collapsed while giving a speech
Bart Starr collapsed Tuesday morning after giving a speech at Monona Terrace Convention Center, but the legendary Green Bay Packers quarterback recovered almost immediately, a Monona Terrace official said.
Starr, 78, was speaking at the Governor's Conference on Economic Development, put on by the Wisconsin Economic Development Association.
Fran Puleo, public relations manager at Monona Terrace, said Starr had just finished his speech and was getting ready to take questions when he collapsed at the podium. "He came to right away," Puleo said. "911 was called and the emergency responders were there right away as well."

Martin gets his 15th win as Bulls sweep Knights
J.D. Martin became the first 15-game winner for the Durham Bulls in 45 years as the Bulls swept a doubleheader from the Charlotte Knights on Sunday.
Martin recorded his International League-leading 15th win in the first game as the Bulls used a five-run sixth inning to win 8-5. The Bulls had three doubles in the decisive frame, including a two-run double off the bat of Chris Gimenez. Kevin Kiermaier and Tim Beckham also added RBI doubles in the inning.
Martin (15-4), an IL All-Star, won his sixth straight decision by allowing three runs over six innings, walking one and striking out five. Shelley Duncan had a two-out, two-run single in the third inning for Durham.
The Bulls carried that momentum into game two with a three-run first inning against Stephen McCray (0-1), who was making his first Triple-A start, and went on to win 5-1.
Kevin Kiermaier walked to lead off and scored on a three-base throwing error by third baseman Brent Morel, who misplayed a sacrifice bunt by Beckham. Beckham would score on an RBI single by Leslie Anderson.
Evan Frey had two hits and two RBIs to lead the offense in the second game, while reliever Josh Lueke (3-1) lowered his ERA to 0.68 by recording the final five outs, including three by strikeout.
With the two wins, the Bulls improved their IL-best record to 80-49.
The two teams will conclude their series today at 7:15 p.m. Jake Odorizzi (8-5, 3.70), who has only pitched eight innings in his last two starts combined and hasn't won since July 28, will face Charlotte's Erik Johnson (2-1, 1.93).

Students give thumbs up to Keele University
Posted: August 13, 2014|
KEELE University has been rated the best in the country for student satisfaction.
The University, with an exceptionally high overall satisfaction score of 93%, exceeds the national satisfaction rate of 86% in the latest National Student Survey.
Keele's overall satisfaction placing is its highest ever and puts the University top among the country's universities for student satisfaction, above the likes of Oxford, Cambridge and the Open University and level with the University of Bath and St Andrews.
Vice-Chancellor, Professor Nick Foskett, said: "I am absolutely delighted that Keele students have rated their university so highly in the National Student Survey.
Related content
"This year's exceptional results underline our commitment to excellence in teaching and learning and improving the all-round student experience."
In each of the eight categories covered by the survey this year, satisfaction has either improved or stayed the same as in 2012. In particular, students' satisfaction has increased in the areas of assessment and feedback and learning resources, with an improvement of 2% in both categories.
Around 321,000 final-year students responded to this year's survey – the highest response rate since it began ten years ago.

"We were all pretty much steeped in the funk tradition anyway," he continues. "Some of the guys grew up playing with Little Milton, as well as, of course, Albert King, Ike and, of course, Oliver Sain. We were pretty much steeped in the blues. We were getting our early experience in the blues and rhythm & blues. But this funk thing was different, the way Miles put it out there. It was extended performances; it wasn't vocally oriented, you weren't backing up singers per se, and the instrumentals were right out there. It was basically coming in with a free form -- those guys had some [riffs] they knew, but they didn't make a big deal out of it. You just came in and played. It was fairly free-form."
Free-form it obviously is, but it's free-form coming out of the imaginations of artists at their peak. You can hear it on the second track (side two of the original release), "Una New York." It's a more restrained examination of a song written by Shaw, and it illustrates the depth of feeling within the collective. Lester Bowie tosses off a Southwestern trumpet riff that seems stolen straight from a spaghetti Western, echoed in spirit by guitarist Horne. They uncover another riff, this one less raucous, more restrained -- though containing enough energy to power a 747 -- that they proceed to celebrate for another 18 minutes. Lester in particular is highlighted here, and the listener is treated to remarkable glimpse of a master.
Says Parran: "The stature of the band -- Lester Bowie was no small potatoes, even in '73. He had already come back from Europe and had appeared on the cover of Downbeat magazine along with Don Ellis and Freddie Hubbard. Lester Bowie had made it, and he was on the gig, so it was no little deal. But to a lot of people in St. Louis, they just didn't know what was happening."
But it wasn't just St. Louisans who were overlooking members of BAG at their finest, Corbett says. "I think it's this important part of the puzzle that's all but forgotten and rarely mentioned, even by the people who were there. The World Saxophone Quartet guys rarely mention it; my experience is that they never really talk up the BAG heritage that much."
With any luck, that will change. Corbett says that in addition to the Funky Donkey masters, he received from Thomas a box of tapes that were thought to be of the same performance: "I'm sure he thought that these were related; it turns out that they were not. They're of a completely different session, unmarked, that was clearly also prepared for release and never came out. When he's in town next, we're going to sit down with the music and sort through it, figure out who's playing on it. The tracks are all listed, and it's really great. Primo St. Louis Black Artists Group music."

The word Litvin (Belarusian: літвін, ліцвін, litvin, litsvin; Polish: Litwin, plural: Litwini, Russian: литвин, litvin, Ukrainian: литвин, lytvyn) is a Slavic term meaning residents of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Recently it has been used in modern Belarus to describe ethnic Belarusians[3][4] in historical contexts. In other contexts it can also refer to Slavic people identifying themselves with the former Grand Duchy of Lithuania in present-day Lithuania and Belarus, as well in Ukraine, western Russia and parts of Poland. In modern Belarus, the term is used by some to stress Belarusian participation and contributions to the former Grand Duchy.[4][5]
History of the term[edit]
The term Belarusian as an ethnonym referring to the inhabitants of what is now Belarus developed only in the 20th century.[6] Before the late 19th century, the term White Ruthenia usually referred specifically to eastern regions of modern Belarus.[7] Slavic-speaking inhabitants of the Grand Duchy, especially those living east of the historical Baltic lands of the Lithuania Propria – in cities like Minsk, Hrodna, Navahrudak – were usually referred to as Ruthenians in the English language. According to Belarusian historian Anatol Hrytskievich, lands of modern north-western Belarus constituted the major part of historical Lithuania and one should therefore not associate the medieval Grand Duchy of Lithuania exclusively with the modern Republic of Lithuania.[8]
During the 19th century Russian authorities attempted to erase the terms Lithuania and Lithuanians, and replace them with the term White-Ruthenia, that was present on the maps since 16th century. For instance, this can be traced by editions of folklorist researches by Ivan Sakharov, where in the edition of 1836 Belarusian customs are described as Litvin, while in the edition of 1885 the words Литва (Lithuania) and Литовцо-руссы (Lithuanian-Russians) are replaced by respectively Белоруссия (Byelorussia) and белоруссы (Byelorussians).[9]
A new wave of national revival on the territory of modern Belarus arose inspired by local intellectuals and nobility like Vincent Dunin-Marcinkevich and Jan Czeczot who created literature in the modern Belarusian language.
An example of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania heritage is the Ukrainian subgroup of Sivershchyna Litviny in Chernihiv Oblast, on the border with Belarus.[10]
Modern usage[edit]
Today the term "Litvin" is enjoying a revival, in some quarters, in Belarus, since many Belarusians prefer to be called "Litvins" and to affiliate themselves with the historical Grand Duchy of Lithuania, and believe that Belarusians contributed greatly to its culture.
Many folk bands and clubs bear the name "Litvins". A folk band, Stary Olsa, promotes the culture of the historical Litvins through original songs. The songs are written in the Old Belarusian language, which was used in the 15th to 17th centuries at the royal court of Vilna, and used the word "Litvin" to cover the heroic past of Litvins.
Today the term Litviny is often[5] used by Belarusian historians and writers to distinguish between inhabitants of the modern Lithuania and the inhabitants of the historical Grand Duchy of Lithuania and to underline thereby Belarusian participation in the legacy of the Grand Duchy.
There are minor groups of intellectuals in Belarus proposing resurrection of the name Litviny and Litva (Lithuania) referring to modern Belarus.[5] Some of the groups are trying to confront the claimed monopoly of modern Lithuanians on the legacy of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania by referring to Belarus as Great Litva (Great Lithuania) as opposed to Small Litva associated by them with the modern Republic of Lithuania. Others, to the contrary, propose the idea of a unification with the modern Republic of Lithuania basing on common roots of the Belarusian and modern Lithuanian statehood in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.[11]

savory is a fantastic concept and, for a while, was great in reality. it has gone completely down hill. advertising they are open sunday through thursday, every week for the last several they have not opened one or more days each week. a totally simple menu (which is part of the attraction) completely confuses the order taker - they have no idea what they have on their own menu, resulting in a 15 minute mind boggling conversation just to order 2 dishes. Of course, when they don't know what's on the menu and, therefore, what you're ordering, your order does not come out right and 4 of my last five orders have been totally wrong. while i wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt, and very much wanted to believe they could pull it off, savory is an unmitigated disaster that i'd avoid at all costs.

How many times have you experienced mediocre (at best!) delivery in Manhattan. 60 minute wait times. Soggy food. Rude delivery people. Just disaster. Say no more. I'm a loyal Savory cusotmer and honestly never write reviews. Finally had to this time. So I place my usual order (which is always delicious), and around 30 minutes in (about how long it usually takes), I get a call from Savory. To let me know that they are a bit behind and to apologize! WHAAAAA? Never heard of that before. Food then arrives in under 15 minutes (45 mins is NOT bad!) with extra brownies and a hand-written note. Wow. These guys do it right. Wish them all the success.
Posted by Greg on 08/29/2012
Savory is more expensive than a lot of delivery, but that's because their food isn't deliver-quality, it's restaurant quality. I always order from them when I work late (since they're dinner only) and am never disappointed. A few times my food's taken a long time, but since they're still a relatively new company I'll give them a pass on this. Get the mac, the chicken tenders (clearly I love little kid food). Also recommend their pasta dishes-- enough food for two meals!
Posted by veegeesQQ on 06/14/2012
I wanted to like Savory. But there's nothing redeeming about it. After being disappointed with my MAC burger a few weeks ago, I decided to give them another try last night. My husband and I ordered ordinary cheeseburgers...for $15 each! If they can't get that right, what can they get right? My husband couldn't even get through half of his -- it just did not taste good. And although they make a big deal in their pitch of perfecting delivery food (yes, they separated out the cold burger toppings from the warm patty, so you can put them together yourself), our bottom buns were completely covered in grease and soggy. I've never had that happen with regular restaurant delivery. And I've never paid $15 for a delivery burger elsewhere. Will not be ordering again.
Posted by John on 03/20/2012
While the food was actually pretty good, the service was a complete disaster. From the order taker, to the manager, to the delivery person, no one seemed to know what he or she was doing. The free meal, offered as an introductory promotion at our building, was a sample size but was not advertised as such. The other item that we ordered was supposed to come with a free side, which they failed to include despite having specifically talked to the manager about it after experiencing confusion with the order taker. Not "prompt", not "relaxed", and definitely not "exceptional hospitality", as advertised. Definitely not the way to launch a new business in NYC.

I got the chicken fingers with chili sauce. loved the sauce, the chicken fingers were bland yet salty. however, the smashed red potatos - sooo good! and they gave me 2 little doughnut holes for free in my bag :) also, it was pouring down rain and i got my order in <30min, and it was all hot and the chicken was crispy - nothing was soggy. i'm excited to try other items!
Posted by Ronnie on 01/21/2012
I think its funny reading some of the negative reviews on here because i know by working in the industry there is just no pleasing some people.Every time i have ordered it has been amazing.Food was hot,delicious and the service speedy.Dont let people writing negative reviews about "everything" ruin something so great for you.We at the office order atleast twice a week and have no complaints yet.Keep up the good work Savory,you guys rock!

Here we are with more than 500 pictures, including 313 exclusive screencaptures from Bahman Ghobadi's Rhino Season, which we highly recommend – it is a very touching and visually stunning movie, and Monica's job in it is absolutely flawless, one of her best works probably. Unfortunately the screencaptures are MQ with a Turkish television logo in a corner. We'll replace the screencaps with some new and better ones as soon as we get the DVD More pictures are from the full coverage from Bosnia - check it out in our latest gallery adds!
ALSO, Monica attended the Dolce&Gabbana's haute couture show in Milan a few hours ago, here is the only pictures surfaced so far.
Check back soon tomorrow for more pictures and news
Serbian director Emir Kusturica is about to direct Monica Bellucci, Tahar Rahim and fiancé Leila Bekhti in his upcoming project, which is still untitled but whose plot has already been unveiled yesterday by Kusturica himself, at Marrakech Film Festival:
«It's a beautiful love story – a young Moroccan wife doesn't see things clearly, so she needs to move to France to get better. Her grandfather sets up a wedding with a rich old man so she can go to Marseille, while her lover stays in Morocco and tries everything to join her».
I assume the "young wife" is clearly going to be played by Bekhti (which is of Algerian heritage), so we'll have to wait to know more about Monica's role. Shootings are scheduled for the end of April 2013.
And speaking of April 2013, I have some good news for Monica's Italian fans! Des Gens Qui S'embrassent's French release has been slightly delayed from April 13 to April 24, in order to have a simoultaneos release both in Italy and in France.
And after the news, here are some pictures from Rhino Season's photocall and Dior dinner, which took place yesterday at Marrakech Film Festival.
- Events in 2012 > 12th Marrakech Film Festival – 'Rhino Season' photocall
- Events in 2012 > 12th Marrakech Film Festival – Dior dinner at hotel Selman
Il regista serbo Emir Kusturica dirigerà Monica Bellucci, Tahar Rahim e la fidanzata Leila Bekhti nel suo prossimo film, che è ancora senza titolo ma la cui trama è stata già rivelata ieri, dallo stesso Kusturica, in occasione del Marrakech Film Festival:
«E' una bellissima storia d'amore – una giovane moglie marocchina non vede le cose in modo chiaro, quindi ha bisogno di andare in Francia per guarire. Suo nonno organizza un matrimonio con un uomo ricco e vecchio cosicché lei possa trasferirsi a Marsiglia, mentre il suo amante, rimasto in Marocco, cercherà di fare di tutto per raggiungerla».
Presumo che la "giovane moglie" sarà chiaramente interpretata dalla Bekthi (che è di origini algerine), quindi dovremo aspettare perché si sappia qualcosa di più a proposito del ruolo di Monica. Le riprese sono previste per la fine di aprile 2013.
E a proposito di aprile 2013, ho delle buone notizie per i fans italiani! L'uscita francese di Des Gens Qui S'embrassent è stata leggermente spostata, dal 13 al 24 aprile, per permetterne l'uscita simultanea sia nei cinema francesi che in quelli italiani.

She does not fear aging at all does she? Monica was looking amazing yesterday on the red carpet for a tribute to Hindi cinema in Marrakech, Morocco. Expect to see more from Marrakech since she is there to promote Rhino Season!
PS. Sorry for the lack of updates lately, I am very busy at work but I'm gonna give you a HUGE update soon!

"Pandemic Influenza Modeling in Structured Populations"
The researchers at MathEcology are developing a mathematical model capable of assessing the impact that pandemic influenza may have on specific subpopulations within the United States and abroad. This mathematical model is intended to track disease transmission and its effect on personnel and equipment resources, and offer alerts and intervention recommendations appropriate to the specific subpopulation and setting.

"National Biosurveillance and Electronic Laboratory Data"
Events of recent years, ranging from the emergence of West Nile Encephalitis in the United States, to the anthrax attacks that followed 9/11 and, most recently, to the emergence of human cases of influenza H5N1 to Europe, have heightened awareness of the challenges to existing disease surveillance systems. These challenges include the need for near real-time data that is sufficiently sensitive and specific to detect conditions of concern and that provides representative national coverage. The system must be secure and scalable, with respect to both quantity of data and speed of analysis. Analytic capabilities must include statistical anomaly detection, alerting and notification, as well as case management. Furthermore, the system must be multi-modal since infectious disease outbreaks, bioterrorism or environmental events, and pandemics all have distinct and different characteristics. Our collaborative work at Quest Diagnostics Incorporated, AT&T Government Solutions and AT&T Labs-Research, uses laboratory test orders and results in combination with a deep and broad array of statistical and mathematical techniques, as well as sophisticated case management technologies, in a biosurveillance system that is differentiated by how we address these challenges.

"BioDefense through City Level Multi-Agent Modeling of Bio and Chemical Threats"
A basic model for assessing the potential impact of epidemics and biological attacks on cities in the United States is described as are implications for disease spread. The models is a multi-agent dynamic-network model at the city level that can be used for examining the impact of epidemics, weaponized biological attacks, and chemical spills on American cities. This model facilitates city level defense planning and training for various bio- and chemical scenarios. It is configured using real data streams such as census information, military base boundaries, hospital and other staging area locations, and weather information. Agents in the model engage in various activities such as going to work, the doctor, the emergency room, restaurants, sporting events, pharmacies, getting infected, becoming contagious, becoming ill, communicating, etc. Behavior is keyed off of socio-demographic characteristics, social network influences, dynamic health status, time of day, day of week, month, year, weather, etc., and infectious disease transmission between agents is constrained by the time-variable spatial proximity of infectious agents to susceptible agents. Simulations have been run for five cities, including San Diego and Norfolk, with baseline data on 61 diseases including various weaponized and potentially epidemic pathogens such as anthrax, smallpox, and SARS.

"Public Health Surveillance of Foodborne Illnesses Using a Novel Dataset"
Background: Poison Control Centers (PCCs) provide real-time data that could enhance public health surveillance systems for foodborne disease outbreaks including those produced by deliberate contamination.
Methods: A search of a PCC database identified callers with gastrointestinal symptoms due to suspected foodborne illnesses with reported illnesses during January 1—March 31, 2000. For each call, the PCC call data were reviewed to determine if study criteria for a predefined diarrhea/gastroenteritis syndrome were met, and then compared to the PCC's coding of the call. PCC calls also were evaluated using zip code, age, gender and date of onset of symptoms to determine if they matched any laboratory-confirmed cases reported to a county health department.
Results: There was high agreement between an independent review of call data and the PCC's classification of the call. When calls and cases were compared, there was only one potential match.
Conclusion: While no confirmatory diagnostic information was available, PCC calls and county health department cases appear to be two independent data sets. PCCs may provide a useful addition to syndromic surveillance data reported to public health agencies for the early detection of foodborne disease outbreaks. Prospective surveillance will now be developed collaboratively.

"The Rapid Syndrome Validation Project – Animals: Monitoring Animal Health"
The Rapid Syndromic Validation Project – Animal (RSVP-A) is an animal health surveillance system designed to facilitate rapid communication between practicing veterinarians and national, state and regional veterinary service organizations. RSVP-A is currently being tested in Kansas and New Mexico as a means to monitor and improve the health of the national cattle herd using practicing veterinarians as data collectors. The syndromes that RSVP-A currently tracks are defined to exclude common diseases and production problems, but include the signs of less common disease presentations that an exotic disease outbreak in cattle might mimic. Practicing veterinarians report these syndromes into the RSVP-A system through personal data assistants (PDAs) or a web-based interface. RSVP-A presents syndrome data spatially and temporally on the web interface with geographic information systems (GIS) technology. Other data sets are included and can be layered on the GIS display. Advisories from state veterinary diagnostic labs or other veterinary epidemiologists are displayed in a textual manner. The system in its current configuration does not use Global Positioning System (GPS) because this level of information could compromise the confidentiality of beef and dairy producers.

"Protecting Public Health through advanced SpatioTemporal Epidemiological Modeling"
The rise of global economies in the 21st century, and the increased reliance by developed countries on global transportation and trade, increases the risk of national and worldwide disaster due to infectious disease. Such epidemics may be the result of global climate change, vector-borne diseases, food-borne illness, new naturally occurring pathogens, or bio-terrorist attacks. The threat is most severe for rapidly communicable diseases. The coincidence of rapidly spreading infectious disease along with the rapid transportation, propagation, and dissemination of the pathogens and vectors for infection poses the risk of new and dangerous pandemics. The anthrax attacks in the United States, which occurred shortly after the events of September 11th, demonstrated the subtle nature of biological attacks and their effectiveness in spreading terror.
An equally significant threat to public health is posed by the emergence of new infectious disease by cross species infection. This process resulted in the world wide AIDs epidemic. A topical example is emerging in Asia with the transmission of Avian Influenza A (H5N1) from birds to Humans. In 1997, 6 people died in Hong Kong after being infected with this virus. The number of cases world wide has been rapidly increasing since 1997 and, more recently, several patients in Thailand have died. In at least one instance this new virus has demonstrated the ability to effectively transfer between humans. If the virus acquires the ability to rapidly spread by the upper respiratory system, the consequences for the world's Human population could be dramatic. The "Spanish Flu" pandemic of 1918-1919 was caused by a mutated flu virus and caused an estimated 30 to 50 million deaths world-wide. The full dynamic consequences of the transfer of a disease from one species to another is critical to understand. Such transfers can be a disaster for the receiving species as it often has little natural resistance to new pathogens.
Reacting to infectious disease, whether naturally occurring or the result of bio-terrorist attack requires a strategic understanding of the dynamics of the spread of the disease. In this talk we will describe the IBM Research Spatiotemporal Epidemiological Modeler (STEM). STEM is a tool designed to help scientists and public health officials create and use spatial and temporal models of emerging infectious diseases. Policymakers responsible for creating strategies to contain diseases and prevent epidemics need an accurate understanding of disease dynamics and the likely outcomes of preventative actions. In an increasingly connected world with extremely efficient global transportation links, the vectors of infection can be quite complex. STEM facilitates the creation of flexible models involving multiple populations (species) and interactions between diseases.
Dr. Chwan-Chuen King, Dr.PH.
Timely and sensitive outbreak detection is the number one priority of all surveillance systems worldwide. Early detection should enable officials to quickly focus limited public health resources, decrease mortality, and provide efficient communications to minimize the risk of acquiring the infection or the disease. The system has to be simple, flexible, and, most importantly, acceptable to providers who like to participate without extra work load.
To face future challenges of EID, the integration of laboratory results, clinical data and epidemiological investigation is necessary. Furthermore, using HL-7 to exchange information for currently operating different surveillance systems (sentinel physician surveillance, school-based absenteeism surveillance, healthcare worker fever surveillance, nursing-home fever surveillance) and obtaining chief complains in the emergency Dept. to establish a "surveillance net" will be future efforts. We have applied such timely automatic syndromic surveillance to successfully detect enterovirus 71 and human influenza virus activities and outbreak detections in much earlier time. In conclusion, continuous developing new surveillance system and evaluating different currently available surveillance systems will be very helpful to minimize the public health threats by avian influenza and other emerging infectious diseases.
Kenneth Komatsu, MPH
"Biosurveillance in Arizona"
With new efforts and resources devoted to homeland security and public health preparedness, new methods and approaches to detect infectious disease outbreaks are needed. This brief presentation will highlight the purpose, possible data sources and some of the biosurveillance issues from an epidemiologist's perspective for the Arizona Department of Health Services.
James Kvach
"International Infectious Disease Information Technology: What's Needed and What's Possible"
There has never been a greater need for international infectious disease situational awareness as evidenced by the current epidemic of highly pathogenic H5NI avian influenza in wild and domestic birds. Despite the availability of information technology a worldwide IT system capable of providing spatial-temporal situational awareness of endemic and epidemic animal, plant and human diseases is unlikely to become a reality any time soon
Bill Lober, MD
"A Web Services Framework for Population Health Monitoring"
Since 2000, the Clinical Informatics Research Group has built several syndromic surveillance systems in the Pacific Northwest. Yet, we have found it challenging to rapidly build and deploy new systems, to compare clustering or detection algorithms, and to replicate our work outside our region. Our work-in-progress report will describe a new web services framework to segregate and structure components for data acquisition and management, text classification and clustering, event detection, and graphic display and visualization. The presentation will describe the Shoki framework for population health monitoring, and an application of Shoki to rapidly create a syndromic surveillance system for the Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise Showcase at HIMSS 2006.
Cecil Lynch
"Public Health Data Standards and Ontologies"
The domain of infectious diseases, and the knowledge associated with effective surveillance activities surrounding outbreaks of infectious disease has reached a level of complexity, and quantity that effective means of storing and retrieving knowledge has exceeded the capacity of the traditional paper-based world of public health. Public health has struggled with the adoption of standards for vocabulary and messaging infrastructure that can be generalized to the entire public health community. The centers for disease control, has initiated several efforts surrounding the uniform implementation of infectious disease surveillance systems and has provided guidance in the form of message structures and vocabulary.
In my talk, I will go over the issues associated with the development of a foundational model for infectious disease surveillance and the translation of that model to an ontological framework that allows distribution of standards-based vocabulary and message segments, and that instantiates the semantics of a broader information model into discrete reusable fragments. We will discuss the challenges associated with standardizing surveillance instruments and discuss ways of capturing well defined and structured data at the source of an investigation.
Mark Thurmond DVM, PhD
"Global FMD risk surveillance"
Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is considered one of the most contagious infectious animal diseases in the world, where affected countries typically must endure severe and far-reaching economic and social consequences. Currently only 34% of the 167 member countries of the OIE are considered 'free' where vaccination is not practiced, and many recent efforts to eradicate FMD in many areas of the world have met with little success. While the United States is currently FMD-free, the disease posses a significant threat to the sustainability of U.S. animal agriculture, and direct and indirect costs of FMD could well likely exceed $50 billion. The U.S. is particularly vulnerable to FMD, once it enters the country, because the highly efficient system of animal movement will quickly spread the disease throughout the country. In addition to the expanding trade and travel between the U.S. and countries with FMD, the escalating threats of biowarfare and agroterrorism increase the likelihood that, in the not too distant future, FMD will be introduced into the U.S. Thus, in order to protect the U.S. against an incursion of FMD, it will be necessary that we understand the changing complexion of FMD throughout the world and how these changes could affect the threat of FMD for the U.S.
The overall goal of the FMD Lab has been to develop models and systems for the global surveillance of FMD. Mathematical and statistical models have been developed to understand the global epidemiology of FMD and to predict future occurrences and risks of FMD throughout the world. These models are particularly important in assessing risks of FMD in regions and countries where disease reporting is not undertaken and other data typically useful in predicting disease are not available. In these situations, models use surrogate and remote-sensed data, which provide some correlated value with disease risk. The repertoire of models includes local or country-level models utilizing region-specific data, a global model that predicts FMD risk in 50 km2 cells, spread models that projects temporal-spatial movement of FMD from region to region, anomaly detection models, and phylogenetic models that predict temporal-spatial evolutionary changes in the virus. In collaboration with the AI Lab (U. Arizona) programs are being developed to incorporate data, models, and projections into a coherent information web-based routing system, referred to as the FMD BioPortal, that permits real-time access and analysis of the global FMD data. A new initiative is being proposed for development of a global network of countries that will collaborate in providing and evaluating real-time FMD data, via the FMD BioPortal, relating initially to predicting evolutionary changes in the virus.

"Development of A Bio-Intelligence System to Over-The-Counter Pharmaceutical Sales Data To Identify Potential Disease Outbreaks"
This presentation introduces the development and application of a bio-intelligence system, which systematically developed a dynamic system model, and integrated advanced information technology and with public health knowledge, to identify potential disease outbreaks and estimate the community health status through monitoring over-the-counter (OTC) pharmaceutical sales data. The developed information system features automated knowledge acquisition, the spatial and temporal analysis and decision-making. A successful pilot application of this system was executed for the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services (NH DHHS). Since its inception, the system has successfully supported the identification of gastrointestinal illness and influenza outbreaks.

One of former senator John Edwards' top money folks -- trial lawyer William S. Lerach -- is now headed to prison for at least 12 months under a plea agreement on a conspiracy charge. The Washington Post's Solomon and Carrie Johnson report that Edwards "used the bully pulpit of his presidential campaign to publicly pressure the Securities and Exchange Commission" on Lerach's behalf in May. Edwards on Tuesday returned his personal donations from Lerach -- and he's given to other Democrats as well -- but Edwards "isn't returning the money he raised from others," Solomon and Johnston write.
Elsewhere in the campaign (and not to jinx anybody's streak here), former mayor Rudolph Giuliani, R-N.Y., is as hot as his beloved Yankees this week. But Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., looked more like the Mets yesterday -- stumbling en route to the playoffs.
To review Giuliani's past few days: He's tussling with Clinton (even though he seems oddly taken with the Clintons' fame), and is talking tough against Iran. In Iowa, his campaign is engaged in an ad war not with his challengers but with the liberal group MoveOn.org -- a fight Rudy will take any day. And he spent yesterday hobnobbing with the Brits, with Winston Churchill's granddaughter calling the former New York City mayor "Churchill in a baseball cap."
ABC's Jake Tapper sees Giuliani trying to look past his GOP rivals: "His focus on Clinton rather than his GOP opponents is clearly calculated to demonstrate to Republicans, many of whom are wary of some of his more liberal views, that he is best equipped to defeat Clinton in a general election," Tapper writes. "He is also hoping that his London visit will feed into the image of him as a statesman that he's worked to project, as opposed to past moments when he seemed more a rough-and-tumble New York City street fighter."
This is a frontrunner's campaign that's hitting its stride. But before he can coast to any nomination, he'll have to answer skeptics like those he'll face tomorrow when he and the rest of the GOP field appears before the before the National Rife Association (Rudy's Red Sox -- in Orange Jackets?) in Washington. Those decade-old comments he made calling the NRA "extremists" are suddenly getting wide circulation.
And "even as the former New York mayor strives to burnish his Second Amendment credentials at the gathering in Washington, a panel of federal judges in his home town will be hearing arguments on the lawsuit that Giuliani filed seven years ago aimed at punishing the nation's gun manufacturers for violent crimes involving firearms," write Michael Shear and Anne Kornblut of The Washington Post.
Bloomberg's Heidi Przybyla doesn't think gun owners are ready to buy candidates' transformations. "At least two of the party's frontrunners, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, have histories of support for gun control. While the two are shifting their stances, it may not be enough to overcome the suspicions of gun owners, who may be more attracted by former Tennessee Senator Fred Thompson."

By Gerry J. GilmoreAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Jan. 26, 2007 Actor and military advocate Gary Sinise earned praise for his portrayal of a disabled Vietnam veteran in the 1994 movie, "Forrest Gump." Sinise now is helping to build a memorial for America's 3 million living disabled military veterans.
The spokesman for the Disabled Veterans Life Memorial Foundation, Sinise, 51, said it's important to recognize disabled veterans' military service and personal sacrifices, especially when America and its armed forces are engaged in a global war on terrorism.
"Having known so many Vietnam veterans and remembering all too well how they were received when they returned from war, I wanted to do my part to make sure that never happens again," Sinise said, noting that returning Vietnam veterans were treated poorly.
Today's U.S. servicemembers, unlike the conscription force employed during Vietnam, "serve freely," Sinise said.
"They should be shown appreciation and respect -- always," the Academy-Award nominated actor said. "Their sacrifices are many and they need our support."
Over the past three years Sinise has participated in more than 20 tours with the United Service Organizations to visit overseas-deployed U.S. troops and visited with wounded servicemembers. Sometimes, he took along his "Lt. Dan Band," named after Lt. Dan Taylor, the character he played in "Forrest Gump."
"Each time I visit our wounded I'm struck by their humility, their courage, determination, their acceptance, and their dedication to our country and their fellow warriors," Sinise said.
Supporting U.S. servicemembers "is truly one of the most rewarding things that I've ever done," Sinise said. "I know that they don't have to do this work, and I'm grateful that we have people like them who want to volunteer to defend this great nation in military service."
Letting America's servicemen and women know that their service to the nation is appreciated and won't be forgotten can make a great deal of difference, Sinise said. And, supporting America's disabled military veterans, he added, also is the right and proper thing to do.
"And, as these (disabled) veterans face a life for which no one can prepare, so must their families and friends," Sinise said.
The $65 million memorial will honor America's disabled military veterans from all the nation's wars, Sinise said. It will be built adjacent to the National Mall here, within full view of the U.S. Capitol.
Sinise noted his appreciation of and paid tribute to the families of disabled veterans.
"Their heroic devotion is a source of strength for those striving to heal," Sinise said. "Freedom is so precious. And those who protect it and sacrifice for it deserve our highest praise and thanks."
The award-winning actor also is an advocate of the "America Supports You" program, a Defense Department initiative that recognizes citizen and corporate support for U.S. military members and communicates that support to servicemembers at home and deployed overseas in the global war on terrorism.
Sinise and "The Lt. Dan Band" will perform a benefit concert tomorrow from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the Washington Auto Show at the Convention Center here. Proceeds will go to the Fisher House organization, which provides accommodations for military families when visiting with seriously ill loved ones.

Step 1: Gather Ingredients and Utensils
- chicken
- 2 liters of Coca-Cola
- soy sauce (preferably light)
- salt
- water
Do not use Diet Coke as it does not contain sugar.
- pot or pan to simmer chicken with
- stirring utensil
Step 2: Cooking
2. Dump the water and replace it with Coca-Cola.
3. - Begin simmering the chicken in Coca-Cola for about 30 minutes or until flavor fully sets in. Cover the pot to keep the flavor in.
-Add about 1 tablespoon of salt for every liter of Coca-Cola to balance the sweet and salty flavors a bit.
- Add about 3 tablespoons of soy sauce for every liter of Coca-Cola if light soy sauce is used. Otherwise you may want to leave it at 2 tablespoons or it will be too salty. Adjust flavorings to personal taste and remember to stir occasionally.
4. After 30 minutes, the remaining Coca-Cola should have a thick, syrupy consistency.
Doesn't the recipe work, because the sugar in the coke is caramelized when it is cooked? Doesn't diet/sugar free soda defeat the purpose of the whole thing?

What are the symptoms of a seroma?
Symptoms of a seroma include swelling at or near a surgical site and leakage of clear fluid through the incision. The area may or may not be painful. If infection develops, additional symptoms can include leakage of pus, redness, warmth or swelling, tenderness, or fever and chills.
Common symptoms of a seroma
Common symptoms of a seroma include:
- Leakage of clear fluid from a surgical incision
- Redness, warmth or swelling at or near a surgical site
- Tenderness near a surgical incision
Serious symptoms that might indicate a life-threatening condition
In some cases, a seroma can become infected or result in opening of the surgical site. Left untreated, these complications can be life threatening. Seek immediate medical care (call 911) if you, or someone you are with, have any of these life-threatening symptoms including:
- High fever (higher than 101 degrees Fahrenheit)
- Pus draining from a surgical site
- Severe pain at a surgical site
- Significant separation of a surgical wound
- Uncontrollable or persistent bleeding from a surgical site
What is a seroma?
A seroma is an accumulation of fluid in a tissue or organ that can occur after surgery, or sometimes after an injury such as blunt trauma. The fluid, called serum, leaks out of nearby damaged blood and lymphatic vessels. Cells are typically present in the fluid, which is normally clear.
... Read more about seromaintroduction
What causes a seroma?
Seromas develop as a result of damage to blood and lymphatic vessels that occurs during surgery or as the result of an injury. Fluid and cells from the damaged vessels leak into the tissues and form a soft fluid collection. Seromas are most common after extensive surgeries or those that involve disruption of a large amount of tissue, including surgeries performed for Read more about seromacauses
How is a seroma treated?
Small seromas may not require any treatment as they often resolve on their own. Larger seromas often require aspiration (removal of fluid), which is usually done with a needle. Sometimes multiple aspirations are required, or a drain may be placed until fluid stops accumulating. Seromas that become infected may require antibiotic therapy and, although rarely, surgery may be required to treat a s... Read more about seromatreatments

DONG VAN KARST GEOPARK (Viet Nam)
Dong Van Karst Plateau Global Geopark is located in the northeastern province of Viet Nam, Ha Giang. It is the first Geopark in Viet Nam and the second one in Southeast Asia.
Conservation, Education & Tourism
Geo-heritages date from the Cambrian (about 550 million years ago) to the present and include palaeobiology, stratigraphy, geomophology, tectonics, karst, caves, etc. Diverse fossils were identified such as brachiopods (eurispirifer tonkinesis), trilobites, ancient fishes, crinoidea... and fossilized paths of molluscs. One can also observe rocks that provide evidence of two large biological crises in the past: the 360 million years ago late Devonian Frasnian – Famennian crisis; and the Permo – Trias mass extension 250 million years ago.The geopark has two natural conservation areas rich in fauna and flora species such as conifers, Asian black bear, Southern serow (a solitary mountain goat) and many species of bird. Moreover, the unusual and mysterious Tonkin snub-nosed monkey is one of the 25 most endangered species of primate in the world. It is only found in Ha Giang province and was believed extinct until its rediscovery in the early 1990s.
Dong Van Geopark is home to 17 ethnic groups which creates the unique and rich cultural heritage of this area. The socio - economic life of the geopark should be improved to achieve the Millennium Development Goals that Vietnam committed. Thus, the management Board of Dong Van Karst Plateau Global Geopark has associated with its partners in seeking support from organizations to develop sustainable tourism, conservation of heritage values and Earth science research.
The Global Geoparks Network is supported by UNESCO at the request of Member States

photodementia - Fig. 04
**Edition of 500** Rescued from millenial Techno oblivion, a 2nd LP of timelessly futuristic and evocative electronica by the Rephlex and Cybotron-affiliated Photodementia duo. 'Fig 0.4' was written by original unit member Victor Beaudet with Newcastle-born, then Vancouver-based Ellen O'Maley shortly after he wrote the first Photodementia record with Bernard Davies. Like the first, it bears strong resemblance to classic Dopplereffekt and records by Plaid or UR from that era, cycling between seven tracks of sinister, funked-up machine music with a lightness of touch and infectiously danceable quality taking in creepy EBM, snappy, uptempo flexers and low-slung sci-fi mystery.

Uggs boots are fast becoming a hot fashion item in the US and Canada, and for good reason. Ugg boots are wonderful Australian footwear that is making their presence felt in the worldwide fashion footwear arena.
Cheap Uggs boots are what are known by some as sheepskin boots. These boots have been made in Australia for tens if not hundreds of years, and are well known all over Australia. However now they are making an impact on foreign markets.
An Ugg boot is made from the skin of an Australian merino sheep most commonly. The wool part of the skin faces into the inside of the boot and so lies against the leg. This results in a warm soft feel to the boot that is found only from wearing Uggs boots. The Ugg is unique in the level of comfort it offers to the wearer, and devotees of Uggs will maintain tenaciously that Uggs are the most comfortable boot on planet, unsurpassed by any other form of footwear.
