Initially, MuniMuni created the goddess with all one thousand arms, but that turned each cluster of limbs into giant blobs. Instead, MuniMuni decided that 42 arms seemed a suitable way to represent the various Buddhist worlds.
Using one hand for normal slaps to the face went fine! Using all the arms on one side caused the deity to topple over, though. So, if you wanted to do multiple slaps, it's necessary to balance that force on the other side. Noted.
All this for science. Yes, for science!

Rated 5 out of 5 by ZenyattaGirl Love, Love, Love them!!! I missed put on these last year so I was so happy to see that Tory brought this color back!!! Got them on the Friends and Family Event so that made them an even sweeter deal!!! Shopped through the Tory Burch App and got free shipping too!!! Great shoes, great price, free shipping!!! Love my shoes!!! May 13, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by PsnlSpr650 LOVE I am so happy I bought these. I only wear TB flip flops in the summer, and I am a size 12 shoe and can get away with the 11's. I WOULD REALLY LOVE IT IF TB WOULD START MAKING 12 shoes! Anyhow I digress, these are gold, and sparkly and I've been wearing them a lot, so much I think I might need a back up pair for when these are too worn out! I have the black ones too, but I wish they had them in navy to go with all the white and navy stuff for summer...oh well...love these, generous in size but oh so cute! March 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by BettendorfElle Super Cute and Sturdy I just received these in the mail today. Love them! I had read some reviews on other website to order up a size in these flip-flops. I'm glad that I did. I usually take an 8-8.5 in Tory Burch flats/boots/booties/loafers, sandals etc. I ordered these in a size 9. They are a little large in the strap area, but the length is about right. I think that if I had ordered a size 8, my heel would have been pushing the envelope on having some overhang. The sparkles are magnificent, and the quality seems to be there. Great for spring/summer! March 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by KimfromRI Fun and Sparkly I ordered these in the gold color. They arrived just as pictured. The bow and gold logo are high quality and substantial. I can't wait for the weather to warm up so that I can begin to wear them! March 12, 2014

Rated 5 out of 5 by Myrtle14 Cute casual flip flop. Cute for pool or just casual everyday. Comfortable and love the little bow on the side. I hope the sparkles don't come off. I won't know that until I have them awhile. I may have to get the gold, too. January 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Bridgette12 Super cute! These flip flops are so cute! They are perfect for the fall season because of the sparkle. I live in Houston and it is still flip flop weather here.

Comments about Regal Tip E Series Wide Drumsticks:
I really like the wide version of these. The only thing I'd change is to make them to the specs of Vic Firth American Classic Rock sticks, which are longer (16 and 5/8") wider and heavier (.630). The Vic's are my favorite, but the wood tips chip on them easily, which is why I looked at these.
The slotted nylon head does a good job of sounding more like a wood tip, which I prefer. Nylon with no slots is too bright sounding for me, usually.
Comments about Regal Tip E Series Wide Drumsticks:
Regal Tip Drumsticks are the only brand I use. I have been playing drums over 30 years and have gone through many different sticks. Regal Tip are balanced, last a long time, sound great, never let me down & are a great bang for the buck.

And of course, it is also home to many first-class wines, including a wide range of Vouvray whites.

hiddenDay 1Depart U.S.
Depart today on your flight to France.
hiddenDay 2Arrive Roissy, France
Arrive this morning or afternoon in France. You are met at the Charles de Gaulle Airport and transferred to your nearby hotel, in Roissy, located 18 miles from the Paris city center. You have the balance of the day to relax after your overseas flight.
Tonight, celebrate your arrival in France during a Welcome Drink and briefing. The remainder of the evening is yours to enjoy.
hiddenDay 3Roissy • Blois • Château de Chambord
After breakfast this morning, you'll depart, taking in the lush scenery of the Loire Valley along the way. With more than three hundred châteaux, from tenth-century castles to splendid mansions built a thousand years later, this "Garden of France" attracted Kings and nobility for its charm and beauty. And today, the fertile valley with its moderate climate continues to attract visitors.
Around mid-day, you'll stop in Chambord—home of the Loire Valley's largest château, which gleams like a great white stone in the middle of rolling pastureland. It was commissioned by King Francois I from 1519-1547 as a supposed hunting lodge, when really, he intended to secure refuge close to his mistress. As you explore the château this afternoon, be on the lookout for its marvelous double-helix staircase, rumored to have been designed by Leonardo da Vinci. And perhaps you'll come to understand why Henry James once remarked upon the rooftop by writing, "...The towers, cupolas, the gables, the lanterns, the chimneys, look more like the spires of a city than the salient points of a single building."
Afterward, you'll continue on, arriving at your hotel early this evening. You'll check in and then take an orientation walk with your Program Director.

Married with 19th and 20th-century restorations, these form a unique panorama of French design.
This afternoon, you may join an optional tour to the Château de Chenonceau and Chaumont International Garden Festival. Throughout the 15th to 20th centuries, the Château de Chenonceau changed hands several times, but as you roam the property today, you'll still find its grand arches spanning the River Cher and several delightful gardens. Afterward, you'll depart for Chaumont where you'll explore its International Garden Festival on your own. Here, art and nature poetically interweave: Contemporary installations emerge from flowerbeds and the surfaces of shallow pools.
Once you return to your hotel, your evening is free to make your own discoveries.

A lunch buffet will follow, where you'll be given the chance to sample some of the vineyard's vintages during an included wine tasting.
Then you'll depart for Amboise, where you'll enjoy a walking tour of its Old Town and view the facade of its sprawling château, which is recognized as a National Heritage Site by the French Ministry of Culture. Afterward, you'll have time to continuing exploring the area on your own.

A marketing effort by the St. Lawrence County Industrial Development Agency to attract Ontario businesses that plays on the provinces increasing power costs has caused some waves north of the border.
We have some ethics in our profession where we dont go after companies directly, said David C. Paul, the economic development director for Brockville, Ontario. This was more of an aggressive approach.
The IDA recently started a campaign to attract Ontario businesses using the availability of low-cost energy through the New York Power Authoritys Preservation Power Program and St. Lawrence River Valley Redevelopment Agency. An IDA brochure also notes research and collaboration with colleges, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomos Start-Up NY initiative to create tax-free zones, the countys labor force, buildings and greenfield industrial sites available for use, the foreign trade zone through the Ogdensburg Commerce Park, an advanced telecommunications network, and the geographic advantage of being between Montreal, Ottawa and Toronto.
Mr. Paul said he thought the IDAs effort amounted to poaching because of the reaction of several companies contacted by the IDA.
Its just the process of how its conveyed, he said.
Mr. Paul said he prefers the relationship Brockville has with Jefferson County, which does not push for relocation of companies but instead promotes cross-border commerce and talks about the opportunities for satellite businesses.
Thats the approach they take and theres nothing wrong with that, Mr. Paul said.
A company interested in expanding into the U.S. is also the ideal customer for St. Lawrence County, said IDA Executive Director Patrick J. Kelly, who does not expect many companies to move their operations solely on the basis of low-cost power.
But energy costs are high enough in Ontario which has some of the most expensive power in North America to make for prickly competition.
The energy issue is certainly a hot-button item, Mr. Kelly said. If we have a selling point, we try to convey that.
Ontarios energy market is the poster child for dysfunction. A recent article in Torontos Globe and Mail outlined the problem.
The culprit for Ontarios pricey electricity is the so-called global adjustment which is added to customer bills, but not the export price. The surcharge is a catch-all that pays for a decade or more of botched deregulation, bloated guaranteed-fixed-price energy purchase contracts and costly efforts to promote wind and solar, while shuttering coal plants, the article said. Meanwhile, independent power suppliers, including wind farms and the privately owned Bruce Power, a nuclear power plant near Kincardine, Ontario, are often paid for electricity they dont ever produce.
The price for energy has some Ontario manufacturers tearing out their hair.
Theyve already announced more increases. While electricity is an important component, its never been as noteworthy as it has become in recent years, said Shelley Bacon, CEO of Northern Cables, Brockville, who was among those who received an IDA brochure among other marketing ploys from throughout the U.S. Weve never reached a point where weve been on a search for another location. We would like the government to address these issues. We hope the cost structure is enough reason for concern where they have to do something here.
The cost of electricity alone is usually not enough for a company to pay the hefty cost of moving, especially to the U.S., said Pierre-Olivier Pineau, an energy market expert at the University of Montreals HEC business school.
If it were only the energy price, they would move to Quebec, he said.
The IDA is not banking all of its efforts on Ontario, Mr. Kelly said. It is talking with area colleges on a market plan geared toward alumni and for joint attendance at trade shows in New York, Boston and throughout New England.
You try to find something where you have a connecting point, Mr. Kelly said. We have a very robust plan for marketing and outreach this year.

SOUTH PORTLAND, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- The news that Pope Benedict the 16th was resigning certainly is a surprise to Maine Catholics, though many said they were glad that the pope made the choice he did.
People attending mass at St. John the Evangalist Parish in South Portland feel the pope's health was a concern, and they were glad he chose to let someone else take over.
Parishioner Shirley Estabrooks said, "With his health and the way he is, I think it's a good thing. I just hope we have another pope soon and not leave the door open too long."
Jane Cote said, "He's feeble, and he doesn't have strength. So he needs a younger man."
This was the first time a pope resigned in 600 years, but Monsignor Michael Henchal does not think it will take another 600 years for a pope to step down. After all, people are living a lot longer these days. Henchal said, "Today, people can live for years and years and years and years beyond the point where they're functioning at full levels. And you can have issues with dementia, you can have all kind of things."
Monsignor Henchal says he doesn't expect the papal vacancy to have a large effect on the search for a new bishop for the Diocese of Portland. He thinks it could delay that selection for about a month at the most.

After dropping points late for the second week in a row, the Fire head north to Toronto to play their game in hand against TFC Wednesday night knowing that a win would springboard the Club into a Playoff position (6:30pm CT on My50). TFC were also beaten in the Pacific Northwest last weekend, 4-0 by Portland. Here are some things to look out for from a tactical perspective.
Controlling possession while being wary of TFC's high pressure
In recent matches, TFC have focused on pressuring their opponent high up the field in an attempt to turn the ball over and/or force the team to play long ball or go back to the goalkeeper. This tactic can work very well but it also has the result of drawing your players out of position in an attempt to put pressure on the opponent.
Last week New England showed the most effective way of countering that tactic, namely by playing neat, one touch soccer and playing through the pressure. When looking at the possession stats, the Fire aren't one of the most dominant teams in that category, averaging 43% over their past three games but against a team like Toronto, this can be rectified.
READ: Gonzalo Segares talks how MLS Results can be Razor Thin
The Men in Red certainly possess players comfortable playing a one touch, possession brand of soccer and must not be forced into giving the ball away needlessly or kicking the ball long due to the pressure by the TFC attacking players.
I look for the team not to be wasteful in possession on Wednesday night and to play themselves out of pressure whenever possible.
Changes in the attack? Injuries may force a shakeup on Wednesday night
WATCH: Larentowicz, Nyarko preview TFC
With top goal scorer and talisman Mike Magee subbed off at halftime as an injury precaution and the team playing
two games this week, it remains to be seen whether he will go the full 90 tonight in Toronto. With this in mind, Fire coach Frank Klopas has a number of ways he can tinker the side.
One obvious choice would be to bring in Juan Luis Anangono in attack as a direct replacement for Magee, while Patrick Nyarko and Quincy Amarikwa can also play in the forward role. A second and more likely option would be to see Nyarko come in on the wing and Alex play up front with Chris Rolfe.
As Kevin Egan pointed out in the latest edition of "The Centerback," the front four of Alex, Rolfe, Magee and Duka combined extremely well against Seattle and bringing another pacey player like Nyarko into the mix makes sense.
Toronto's defenders are not the fastest, and the movement and speed of the New England and Portland attacking players caused TFC a lot of problems in the last two matches. If Magee is not deemed fit enough to start, who better to bring on later in the game if the Fire need to bag a winner than the second top goal scorer in MLS this season?
Keeping an eye on Reggie Lambe – a powerful wide player
Though statistically Reggie Lambe isn't having the best of years for Toronto, he has played well in TFC's last few matches and will be a threat on Wednesday evening.
In TFC's recent tie with D.C., Lambe switched wings with Bobby Convey and the move worked, crossing for Convey who finished neatly for TFC's lone goal in that match.
In TFC's last home game against New England, the Canadians started with only Robert Earnshaw up front, but Lambe often drifted inside to support the striker. Lambe also plays a part in TFC's high pressure style of play, trying to close down the opposition as quickly as possible when they have the ball.
WATCH: Athletico Coaching Corner
It is important that the Fire neutralize Lambe and limit the amount of crosses he is able to send into the box for players like Earnshaw and Andrew Wiedeman.
Prediction: The Fire get what they came to Toronto looking for: 3 points with a 2 nil victory. Goals from Patrick Nyarko and Gonzalo Segares.

Gut punched again! Maybe not as bad as the Philly gut punch game from May, definitely not as painful as the Open Cup gut punch, but Houston's smash and grab draw is the kind of result that could shake a team. That said, we've been here before this season. The Fire have proven they can rebound from disappointing results and it's too early for the playoff panic, there are too many games left to play. Games like Sunday's hurt, but now, a few days after, it doesn't seem like any sort of total season KO.
What it is: another example of this team's schizophrenia and oft-infuriating inconsistency. I mean, how delicious was that first half?
READ: Playoff Math - Still only two points out
Dilly Duka was terrorizing, Alex has taken his move to the outside with relish, Arevalo Rios and Jeff Larentowicz are working well together, Chris Rolfe and Mike Magee keep popping up in annoying positions to track, and the Fire broke down a solid Houston defense, creating chance after chance after chance.
But because this game rarely if ever makes sense the way it should, the Fire let their guard down for a crucial period and relinquished a few points at home. It's not the result of a dominant team, but then, that's not what this Fire team is. It's a team still trying to lock down its identity and self-expectations and the good news is that there's still some time to do it.
One thing the team has to get used to is Frank Klopas' efficiency approach. "They had possession," he said after the game, "but we are the ones that created the better chances." This is a common adage for Klopas this year. He's proven time and again that he's comfortable ceding to possession to the other team, letting them play with it and knock it around sideways as much as they want - as long as, when the Fire have the ball, they make use of it to be dangerous.
Before you scoff, remember that it's the same approach that Jose Mourinho used at Chelsea and Inter Milan to beat Barcelona. It means counter attacks, quick passing, explosive breaks, all of which we saw against Houston. But it also means taking the (potentially few) chances you're given as well as long periods of focus and discipline to keep your cool and keep your shape as the other team knocks it around.
With the other team passing around, especially on a hot, sun burnt afternoon like Sunday's, it can be easy to loosen up and sit back at times.
That causes two problems…
First, as the defense falls backward, it creates more space in front of them for the other team to move forward. While it was all good for Houston to pass around the Fire's half 30-40 yards from goal, as the Fire's defense moved too far back later in the game, Houston pushed closer and closer, and started finding space around the edge of the area (where the goal eventually came from). But as Gonzalo Segares said in his comments after the game, it's not always just the defense's fault for falling backwards, especially when they're under attack for so many minutes.
READ: Magee, Segares, Klopas lament two dropped points Sunday vs. Dynamo
The second challenge with sitting back is that the attackers have to hold the ball up front to let the lines move up, and they have to take the open counter attacking chances that come when the other team presses to equalize. Juan Luis Anangono was unusually ineffectual when he came on Sunday, but maybe the Fire were just unlucky. If Magee's second half shot off the post had gone in, it's hard to see Houston getting their draw.
The Fire have proven to be a tough team to beat when they score first this year, and much of that is down to Klopas' efficiency approach as well as the focus and discipline of the defense. In that sense, Sunday's gut punch was an outlier. But if there's one thing for sure about the Fire this year, it's that their previous games are not necessarily indicators of their future ones, and no matter how many times they successfully see out the tight ones, it's the gut punch games that we remember.

Over the weekend, Chicago Fire Season Ticket Holders began receiving #FIREUP renewal packets in the mail regarding 2014 Season Tickets. Chicago-Fire.com did a Q&A with Vice President of Ticket Sales, Service and Operations Mike Ernst to explain the philosophy behind some of the changes to the club's Season Ticket packages next season.
Chicago-Fire.com: Why is there a reduction from a 20 tickets to 18 tickets in the Season Ticket Holder packages?
Mike Ernst: Having discussed the potential move in the past, there are a couple of reasons we decided to make the switch this year.
First, we have seen over the course of the past several years that the Bonus Games were not always popular with our Season Ticket Holders. When we had a match against a big-name team like Manchester United, people were extremely happy, but if the game(s) were against a perceived lesser opponent, people were not as interested and were less likely to attend.
I think this stems from the fact that the games are exhibitions in nature and often times the regular starters did not play due to the competition calendar.
As a Club, we have tried to do our best to balance making sure the First Team is rested and has a competitive advantage in games that count (MLS Regular Season & U.S. Open Cup) while also putting on exhibitions that attract new, prospective fans.
C-F.com: Does the exclusion of Bonus Matches from this year's season ticket packages mean the Fire won't be hosting international friendlies next year?
ME: Far from it, exhibitions against international opponents will continue to be a focus for our Club going forward and we will give Season Ticket Holders the chance to purchase their tickets for any of these games before the general public. In addition, Season Ticket Holders will be able to purchase these tickets at a significant savings off the face value.
These matches give us the opportunity to raise the profile of our Club with the opponent's fan base and the broader general public. The goal of hosting these matches is to attract local fans of another Club to a Fire game with the aim of converting them to supporting their local Club.
It is critical for the continued growth of our Club to recruit new fans and then convert them to Season Ticket Holders over time.
C-F.com: Why has the Club shifted course on U.S. Open Cup games with the offering of the U.S. Open Cup Series Ticket? What does that mean?
ME: The U.S. Open Cup Series ticket will be the 18th game in the season ticket package. That ticket (and parking if applicable) will be good for up to three games if the Fire host the 3rd Round, 4th Round and Quarterfinal at home.
This change is the next step in ownership's commitment to contend for the U.S. Open Cup on an annual basis. In the past, we have and have not included U.S. Open Cup games in our season ticket package. We feel it is important to take this step, so that we give the guys on the field the best possible competitive advantage.
In the event that we do not host a U.S. Open Cup game at home, the Series ticket will be good for exchange to another MLS regular season home match.
C-F.com – What benefits are changing for Season Ticket Holders in 2014?
ME: The Club is committed to providing Fire fans with the best season ticket benefits in Chicago. In 2014, we will continue to offer free parking/$6 parking where applicable, the same exchange program to help you avoid wasting tickets, and a 20% off savings on merchandise at the TOYOTA PARK team store and online. In addition, it is important to note that we are not raising the price of tickets on a per-game basis.
Our goal is to continue to grow the season ticket base, so that we put the Club in a situation to sellout every match at TOYOTA PARK and thereby provide the team on the pitch with a home-field advantage. While that will not happen overnight, we believe that providing all Fire fans with an affordable and flexible season ticket option is critical to achieving our goal.
C-F.com – When can Season Ticket Holders expect to receive tickets for 2014?
We are expecting the 2014 season to begin sometime in early to mid-March, so we are aiming to have Season Tickets out by mid-February. It is important to us to make sure that this process goes as smoothly as possible.
In addition, we are still looking at options on how Season Tickets will be formatted for next year. There will be more information on that in the coming months.

Peppermint oil
Vanilla extract

A recent study that was conducted by Retrovo Labs has stated that there are more than 1000 US customers report of the survey stated that they were looking for an Amazon tablet, assuming that it was the right price. If 5% of those surveyed said that they wanted to see an Amazon tablet at some point in the near future. 31 percent of those surveyed stated that they were looking for a tablet device from Motorola phone comparatively 31% of those surveyed stated that they wanted to see Hewlett-Packard device. Other highly scoring companies including Samsung Intel, both of whom received 38% of the vote.
Only 24% of those surveyed said that they weren't looking for a device from Research In Motion. 21% also said Barnes & Noble, coming in last place on the survey. It will be interesting to see if they are able to put together a tablet in response to service such as this one. It appears that there is a huge section of the market that is eagerly awaiting Amazon to make a tablet device. It will be interesting to see if they are able to respond to calls from the market that has supported them. It is a bit strange considering that Amazon is not particularly thought of as a technology company that produces products, and more so as a web store, but the recent changes that have been made by the company have changed their view with the public that is generally happy with the devices that they have released as their Internet book reading sales are off the charts. It will be interesting to see if the tablet that they do someday release meets or exceeds the demands of those that are eagerly awaiting the release of any tablet that they have. It will be interesting to see if they are able to release a tablet at some point in the very near future.

Germany sets fundamentals for Climate Protection 2020
April 29, 2014 | Michael Ravenscroft
Germany's minister for the environment, Barbara Hendricks, has given the starting shot for the other federal ministries and federal states for the action program Climate Protection 2020. The program aims to set targets for all sectors that will guarantee that the country reaches its climate protection objectives. Germany has set itself the target of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 40% in 2020 compared with 1990 levels. "The action program is starting with an honest status check: Without additional measures, we will reach a GHG emissions...

It's hard to believe that in the 21st century, educated people believe the government can produce real wealth by creating money. It's especially ironic that the main preachers of this superstition fancy themselves progressives and are the first to accuse their opponents of being against science. What could be more antiscience than the alchemic proposal to create wealth by having the Federal Reserve make entries in a digital ledger? It's more absurd than alchemy: Alchemists claimed they could turn base metals into gold. Inflationists require only thin air.
The commonsense reaction is: "Balderdash!" So it takes real devotion to the power of government to embrace such a ridiculous idea. Consider Chris Hayes, the MSNBC host. Last Saturday on his program, Up, he said this in introducing a segment on the proposal that the Treasury mint a $1 trillion coin to get around its debt limit:
The simple truth is it [the government] creates money simply out of thin air. Someone at the Federal Reserve punches in a number on a spreadsheet and — voila! — more money.... While there are rules that guide legal tender, at base, what makes money valuable is simply social convention, a norm. We all agree it's valuable, so it's valuable. The genius of the trillion dollar coin isn't just that it provides some much needed leverage against a foe unencumbered by any sense of propriety, it also illustrates the uncomfortable, foundational reality of modern capitalism: money is nothing more than a shared illusion.
It's a kind of magic. But is it good magic ... or bad magic?
At least he admits that in this case he believes in magic.
The value of money is a convention, a norm, a shared illusion? Did society agree that the dollar should lose 95 percent of its purchasing power since the Federal Reserve opened its doors nearly a hundred years ago?

I'm that type of guy, who doesn't like talking too much and prefers to just silently work on something instead. I think it is bad, since I have some interesting projects in my queue although lacking free time I'm progressing slowly. I've decided to blog more about projects that I work on or that I'm interested in. This is the first entry of this series.
It has been quite some time that I started working on converting the doc tree from SGML to XML but because of (1) lacking free time, (2) the doc repo being a quickly moving target, (3) lacking a good VCS system that support moves and renames and good branching, it hasn't ever been completed and I just always have it in a nearly complete stage, trying to keep up with merging upstream changes. But since (3) is resolved now, it will be easier to create a development branch and to keep it in sync until it is totally finished and the work can be merged back. Also, more people became interested and this motivates me to try to dedicate more time to finally finish this and they may also help out. In the following, I'll try to summarize what this migration consists of. (more…)

Foodborne Outbreak Investigation Manual
An online resource for foodborne outbreak management.
Group A Streptococcus (GAS) or "strep" is a bacteria often found in the throat and on the skin. Strep can be in your body and not cause any illness. GAS usually causes mild illnesses that include a sore throat (strep throat) or skin infections (impetigo). Occasionally, a deadly type of GAS can invade the blood, muscle and fat tissue, or lungs and cause a serious and often life-threatening infection called invasive group A strep. Two of the most severe but least common forms of invasive GAS disease are necrotizing fasciitis and streptococcal toxic shock syndrome. Necrotizing fasciitis, sometimes described by the media as "the flesh-eating bacteria," is a destructive infection of muscle and fat tissue. Streptococcal toxic shock syndrome is a rapidly advancing infection that causes shock and injury to internal organs such as the kidneys, liver, and lungs.
Signs and symptoms depend on the type of illness caused by group A strep. Strep throat causes fever, sore throat, and swollen lymph glands. Strep skin infections causes red, weeping sores. Early signs and symptoms of necrotizing fasciitis are fever and severe pain, swelling, heat, and redness at a wound site. Early signs and symptoms of streptococcal toxic shock syndrome often include fever, dizziness, and confusion. Streptococcal toxic shock syndrome has no sign or symptom that distinguishes it from other illnesses making it difficult to diagnose.
Strep are spread by direct contact with drainage from the nose or throat of infected persons or by contact with infected wounds or sores on the skin.
Few people who come in contact with strep will get serious illness. Some will have a throat or skin infection. Most will have no symptoms at all. Although healthy people can get serious strep illness, those with cancer, diabetes, and kidney disease needing dialysis, and those who take certain medicine are at higher risk. Breaks in the skin, like cuts, wounds, or chickenpox lesions may provide a way for the bacteria to get into the body.
The spread of strep is less likely when you wash hands, after coughing and sneezing, before fixing foods and before eating. Persons with a sore throat should be seen by a health care provider. A lab test can say if it is strep throat. If it is, the person should stay home from work, school, or child care until 24 hours after starting antibiotics. All sores should be kept clean. If a sore gets red or puffy, drains pus or hurts, see a health care provider.
Strep infections can be treated with many different antibiotics. It is always important to complete the full course of antibiotics as ordered by your health care provider.

Video: Update: Missing Man Found Dead After Bills Game
Video: Orchard Park Police Press Conference Part 2
ORCHARD PARK, NY - Orchard Police say a 26-year-old man who went missing near Ralph Wilson Stadium after Thursday night's game has been found dead.
The man has been identified as David Gerken, Jr. a 26-year-old Palmyra, NY native.
Investigators from the Orchard Park Police Department say Gerken, who was at the game with his brother and a friend, was ejected from the game around half-time. They say he contacted his brother and said that he would meet them after the game at a nearby bar.
Officials say when Gerken's brother couldn't locate him, he contacted police who put out an "attempt to locate." Officials resumed their search for Gerken in the morning, with the help of Erie County Sheriff's Air One. Gerken's body was located in a stream at the bottom of a ravine behind the stadium.
The investigation is continuing, but Orchard Park Police Chief Andrew Benz says the preliminary cause of death is an accidental drowning, possibly hypothermia.
The Buffalo Bills issued this statement:
"We are deeply saddened to hear of this news this morning. While the loss of life is always tragic, the loss of a young life is even more so. Our heartfelt condolences go out to the family. We are currently cooperating with law enforcement officials to find out the details of this unfortunate incident."

MASSENA Massena High Schools winter athletes hope the money they raised this season will help in the fight against cancer.
Members of the schools girls varsity hockey team, girls and boys junior varsity and varsity basketball teams and wrestling team had set a goal of donating $1,500 to the Claxton-Hepburn Medical Center Foundation to support the efforts of the Richard E. Winter Cancer Center in Ogdensburg.
But when the fundraising was over, the teams had easily surpassed their goal by collecting $2,300.
We wrecked that pretty fast, said Athletic Director Timothy J. Hayes. They kept it in the forefront. They kept it as an important thing.
He said the effort was spearheaded by the girls hockey team and its coach, Jennifer Gray. That team alone raised $950 in the competition, he said.
They didnt want to lose to the basketball players. Theyre competitive by nature. That was their incentive, Ms. Gray said. They worked hard.
Sponsor pin-up cards with the words MCS Athletes Fight Cancer were sold for a suggested donation of $1, but often garnered more. Proceeds from the teams Massena Athletes Fight Cancer games were also donated to the effort.
We were looking for a way to give back to the community. We get so much support from them, Ms. Gray said.
She noted that other schools had done similar fundraisers.
We thought it was something we could do in Massena, Ms. Gray said.
In addition to selling the cards, the girls hockey team held a Pink in the Rink game in January against Salmon River. The team went all-out in that effort at the Massena Arena.
The whole arena was decorated in pink, said senior Mackenzie Young.
We had posters, balloons and streamers. We wore pink jerseys and pink socks, said senior Jaclyn Spinner.
Ms. Gray said the decorating came as a surprise to her.
They were on their own, she said.
Fans also were asked to wear pink that night to show their support for the fight against cancer, and the team also held a pink 50/50 raffle and a pink Chuck-A-Puck contest to raise even more money.
It was definitely the biggest game of the year, Ms. Young said.
Cindy L. Clusen, Claxton-Hepburn Foundation executive director, accepted the check on the foundations behalf.
This is beautiful. Its wonderful, high school students pitching in to help. Cancer touches almost all of us in some way, unfortunately, she said.
Ms. Clusen said she wasnt aware the Massena athletes were raising money until she received a call a few days before they presented her with the check.
We certainly appreciate the help from them, she said.

Group dynamics can be quite difficult and even then things can go wrong. In such situations experts are given the important responsibility to provide an explanation and in effect attenuate any hard feelings. In these instances, according to Frey and Cobb (2010), individuals in the group consider the level of expertise, specificity or clarity of social account, and most important degree of loss when something goes wrong. Further, and contrary to expectations, experts are not always the best individuals to attenuate negativity, which tends to vary depending on the degree of loss (Frey & Cobb, 2010).
At the macro level, these findings can be generalized to the current economic crisis. For instance, the show "This American Life" recounts the economic meltdown and concludes that governments, companies and a number of individuals are to blame for the economic crisis. Thus, some individuals were affected economically more than others. To address the problem the experts, or those in charge of the economy, are creating their own social accounts to make things better. However, CNN reports that the skeptics or critics are not quite convinced of the expert accounts.
It is in this context of uncertainty or bad turn out that the expert is tasked with attenuating hard feelings individuals may have. Frey and Cobb interestingly found that, "under conditions of higher loss, expertise actually becomes a sizable liability, indicating a boomerang effect". The researchers explain that the experts, in all their wisdom, should have used their knowledge to stop any mistakes that may have occurred. So whatever social accounts are presented, to some, will fall under the backdrop of the mistakes that caused the economic crisis.

On Aug. 28, 1963, 27-year-old Larry Burris of Portland was among the quarter of a million Americans who traveled to Washington D.C. for the event billed as the "March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom." Burris was among several Maine residents who made their way to the event, joining a sea of people numbering in the hundreds of thousands. Tom Porter has more.
Maine resident Gerald Talbot, far left, at the March on Washington.
Fifty years later, powerful images from that day are still with Larry Burris. "It was about the amazingest thing a person could ever witness," he says.
The first thing that struck him, he says, was the sheer volume of buses, converging on the nation's capitol from all over the country. "I'm a bus driver and I've never seen so many buses in my life," he says. "They had buses as far as you could see."
Burris was among a panel of four speakers sharing their recollections at a public event in Portland Tuesday night, each a witness to that historic march and, to Dr. Martin Luther King's famous "I Have a Dream" speech.
"What was remarkable, I think for all of us who were there at that march, was the happiness," says Portland attorney Harold Pachios, who was in D.C. that day serving as a congressional liaison to the Peace Corps. "People got off the buses in the morning, tens of thousands from all over America, and walked down Independence Avenue and Constitution Avenue, happy, singing, with their signs."
Watch historic footage from the March on Washington.
Tuesday night's panel at the Portland Public Library addressed a crowd of about 200, some of whom had their own memories of that day. Alan Mills of South Portland - a teenage civil rights activist at the time - says he found himself in the capitol by chance.
"I get down to D.C. and see the signs for the march and I said, 'OK, this I have to participate in.' And, thankfully, I was right at the foot of the Lincoln Memorial and spent the whole day there."
Dr King's speech, he says, had a permanent effect on him. "And yes, I came home motivated. I've got 53 years of activism under my belt, a lot of it because I was there in Washington on Aug. 28, 1963."
"It was a hot afternoon," says Gerald Talbot (left), former Maine president of the NAACP, and the first African-American to be elected to the state Legislature. He was also among the speakers at Tuesday night's event. In 1963, he was a 31-year-old print worker and father of three from Portland.
Talbot traveled down from Maine with Larry Burris to attend the march. Talbot says many in the crowd that day, exhausted by the heat, lay down to rest. But when Dr King took to the podium - the 16th out of 18 speakers - he says the atmosphere changed.
"Everybody stood up," he recalls. "It was like the whole earth just picked everybody up. It just electrified everybody, and they knew that."
Following Dr. King's speech, Talbot says everyone in the crowd knew it was their job to take his message back to their communities. Talbot's community - early 1960s Maine - was not as overtly racist as the South, he says, but it was still a difficult place to be black.
Talbot says life for him was hard for two reasons: "Life was hard because I am black, life was hard because I am a light-skinned black. And therefore a lot of times, I go for a job or housing or whatever, a lot of people didn't even know what I was."
Attitudes changed, he says, when people realized he was actually African-American. "I would get a job and nobody said anything, and either two or three weeks after I was working, somebody would say, 'Wait a minute, are you a Negro?' I said, 'Yes, that's exactly right." And then pretty quick I didn't have a job."
Portland bus driver Larry Burris (left, at panel discussion) recalls an incident in the Deep South in the 1950s. He was in the Navy at the time, traveling by train to his camp in Florida. "And I got in Alabama with my uniform on, my sea bag. I walked into a station and they says to me, 'You can't come into this part of the station.'"
Burris was told he was in a "White's Only" area. "I was here to serve the people of the United States and I couldn't even come in the station in my uniform."
Nor, he says, could he use the bathroom. "Toilets said 'White's Only.' You're going to laugh at this: I wondered, How did the sewer work underground?"
