Chile Refuses Mediation in Bolivia Sea Access Dispute
January 6, 2015
Chilean Foreign Minister Heraldo Muñoz said yesterday in a press conference that the country rejected any possible mediation from the Pope in a dispute with Bolivia over sovereign access through Chile to the Pacific Ocean that dates back to the nineteenth century.
Muñoz's comments came after Bolivian President Evo Morales' statement on Sunday that Pope Francis had requested documentation about the border dispute. On Monday, after a meeting with the advisory committee for the legal case, Muñoz said, "Chile has not accepted in the past, does not accept and will not accept any mediation in a matter that is absolutely bilateral, that concerns only Chile and Bolivia. Chile will never consider, does not accept nor will accept ceding territory under pressure or through any form of mediation. This is crystal clear for us, even more so as there is a case in The Hague."
Bolivia decided to bring its case before the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague on April 24, 2013, with the goal of forcing Chile to negotiate a point of sovereign access to the ocean—which Bolivia lost after the War of the Pacific, when it signed a peace treaty with Chile in 1904 that Morales says was forcefully imposed on his country. On July 15, 2014, Chile filed a preliminary objection to the ICJ's jurisdiction in the matter. In November 2014, Bolivia filed a declaration claiming that the ICJ did have jurisdiction to rule on the case.
There have been heightened tensions recently regarding the longstanding conflict, with Morales asserting at the end of December 2014 that Bolivia would recover its access to the sea. Meanwhile, Muñoz published a piece in the Brazilian publication Folha de São Paulo entitled "What the Bolivian Lawsuit is Hiding."
Ibero-American Summit Begins in Veracruz with Notable Absences
December 9, 2014
The leaders of Latin American and Iberian countries were on hand for the opening of the 24th Cumbre Iberoamericana (Ibero-American Summit) in Veracruz, Mexico yesterday. Just as notable as who was present, however, was the long list of absences. A block of six presidents—representing Brazil, Argentina, Venezuela, Bolivia, Nicaragua and Cuba—snubbed the two-day summit, which Bolivian President Evo Morales dismissed as a platform for "Spain's monarchs [to discuss] their own interests." The president of El Salvador, Salvador Sánchez Cerén, reportedly had to withdraw from the summit to due health issues.
The summit's focus—"Education, Culture and Innovation"—was reportedly calculated to avoid ideologically charged territory. Yet the summit has faced flagging interest in the face of newer regional fora such as the Comunidad de Estados Latinoamericanos y Caribeños (Community of Latin American and Caribbean States—CELAC) and the Unión de Naciones Suramericanas (Union of South American Nations—UNASUR). As a result, after this year, the summit will transition towards a biyearly schedule.
Nonetheless, Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation José Manuel García-Margallo qualified the summit as a success. "We are reflecting on a renewed relationship between Latin American and the Ibero-American countries […] we are achieving concrete results, and we are creating important synergies," he said.
By the end of the first session, the attendees had reportedly reached five agreements due to be included in summit's concluding declaration. Among them are an agreement to share information and present a more united front in international fora such as the G20 or the OECD, an agreement on arbitration practices for small and medium-sized enterprises, and an agreement to foster increased talent mobility among the participating nations.
Morales Tackles Domestic Violence in Bolivia
October 15, 2014
On Tuesday, Bolivian President Evo Morales—fresh from his reelection to a third term on Sunday—moved to strengthen legal measures that would help reduce domestic violence against women in the Andean country. Law 348, titled Ley Integral para Garantizar a las Mujeres una Vida Libre de Violencia (Comprehensive Law to Guarantee Women a Life Free of Violence) was enacted on March 9, 2013, but lacked a regulatory provision causing the implementation process to stall.
The regulation, which President Morales enacted Tuesday, creates mechanisms and policies for the prevention of domestic violence and violence against women and care for victims and provides much needed funds for the creation of domestic violence shelters and enhancement of the Fuerza Esdpecial de Lucha contra la Violencia (Task Force to Combat Violence—FELCV). The president acknowledged that the law alone would not curb violence against women and advocated for education, which he sees as a major contributing factor to the violence.
A 2013 report from the World Health Organization found that more than half of Bolivian women had experienced physical or sexual violence from an intimate partner in their lifetime. While justices have been criticized for their handling of domestic violence cases, District Attorney José Ponce drew attention to the lack of resources and the caseloads of overburdened districts. In the Max Paredes district of La Paz alone, each prosecutor has more than 500 cases a year, with only 10 prosecutors who are specially trained for domestic violence cases available.
Indigenous Political Participation Key to Morales' Lead
October 9, 2014
Bolivian President Evo Morales is expected to be elected to a third term in office on October 12—and not by a small margin. A September 30 poll conducted by French global market research company Ipsos predicts that the incumbent will receive a comfortable 59 percent of the vote.
Meanwhile, opposition candidates Samuel Doria Medina of the Unidad Demócrata (Democratic Unity—UD), Jorge Quiroga of the Partido Demócrata Cristiano (Democratic Christian Party—PDC), Juan del Granado of the Movimiento Sin Miedo (Movement without Fear—MSM) and Fernando Vargas of the Partido Verde de Bolivia (Bolivian Green Party—PVB) are each expected to receive less than 15 percent of the vote individually.
Among opposition circles, speculation is rife that the increased number of eligible Bolivian voters (totaling 6.5 million) and the alleged pro-Morales bias of the Tribunal Supremo Electoral (Supreme Electoral Tribunal) indicate a fraudulent electoral process. Doria Medina, earning an estimated 13 percent of the vote in the recent Ipsos poll, has also claimed that the ruling Movimiento al Socialismo (Movement for Socialism—MAS) government is manipulating television advertising allocation in favor of the president.
"They have aired up to 60 negative spots on television against us, and when we tried to respond to them with our own spots, the Electoral Tribunal denied us permission," Doria Medina told Andres Oppenheimer of the Miami Herald in September. "Likewise, we put campaign signs on the streets, and the government ordered police to remove them. The government has a monopoly of public signs," Medina said.
However, opposition members attempting to make sense of Morales' expected win should look no further than the president's overwhelming support from the country's historically marginalized Aymara and Quechua populations, which form an important percentage of Bolivia's population. Morales' presidency has been marked by mass Indigenous political participation in government affairs, an achievement unheard of in previous administrations.
Poll Predicts Morales Presidential Win
October 2, 2014
An election poll released on Wednesday—conducted by Ipsos, a France-based global market research company—showed that Bolivian President Evo Morales is on course to be elected to a third term on October 12. Morales is predicted to receive 59 percent of the vote—over 40 points more than his closest opponent, Samuel Doria Medina, a business man representing Unidad Demócrata (Democratic Unity—UD) party, who followed with 13 percent. Of the remaining three candidates vying for the office, Jorge Quiroga of the Partido Demócrata Cristiano (Democratic Christian Party—PDC) is predicted to receive 8 percent of the vote, Juan del Granado, leader of the Movimiento Sin Miedo (Movement without Fear—MSM) to receive 3 percent and Fernando Vargas of the Partido Verde de Bolivia (Bolivian Green Party—PVB) to receive 1 percent, according to the poll.
Despite the predicted victory, opposition candidates have accused the election process of being highly fraudulent—with the Supreme Electoral Tribunal being biased in favor of the incumbent, and the government favoring Morales propaganda and television air time over the opposition. Moreover, Doria Medina accused Bolivian polls of being biased and having a margin of error of over 30 percent. Morales would need to win at least 50 percent of the vote, or 40 percent of the vote if the margin is at least 10 points above his closest opponent.
The survey was conducted between September 8 and 23, interviewing 3,000 men and women 18 years or older across the nine departments of the country. The margin of error was +/- 1.79.
Monday Memo: Inauguration Day in Venezuela – Morales Accuses U.S. Embassy – Brazil's Energy Budget Crisis – and more
January 7, 2013
Top stories this week are likely to include: Uncertainty surrounding Hugo Chávez' inauguration in Venezuela; Evo Morales alleges U.S. plot to destabilize his government; Brazil weighs electricity measures; and Canada deepens ties with Africa.
Inauguration Day in Venezuela: After his re-election last October, President Hugo Chávez is scheduled to be inaugurated this Thursday per the constitution that he helped write when he first rose to office in 1999. However, with Chávez recovering in Havana, Cuba, after his surgery last month on an undisclosed form of cancer, many Venezuelans are questioning his fitness for office as well as if or how he will assume another six-year term in three days. The constitution stipulates that the National Assembly President—Diosdado Cabello, who was re-elected to the post over the weekend—act as president if Chávez is declared incapacitated before Thursday and that Vice President Nicolás Maduro would become head of state if Chávez is declared incapacitated after Thursday. However, there are no indications that the executive branch intends to abide by these rules. Maduro claimed that the Supreme Court could swear in Chávez at a later date—a statement that was supported by Attorney General Cilia Flores, who is also Maduro's wife. Calls from the political opposition for greater transparency have been repeatedly rebuffed. Stay tuned for updates on what will be the top issue in the hemisphere this week.
Morales Accuses U.S. Embassy: Bolivian President Evo Morales claims he has "irrefutable evidence" that the U.S. Embassy in La Paz is plotting to destabilize his government, claims Minister of the Presidency Juan Ramon Quintana. Quintana continued that the Morales administration will present the evidence to U.S. President Barack Obama and "tell him [to] cease all hostilities against the Bolivian government, stop the political ambush of our government." U.S.-Bolivian relations have been tenuous since Morales assumed office in 2006, hitting a nadir when Morales expelled the U.S. ambassador in 2008.
Brazil's Energy Budget Crisis: After water levels in hydroelectric dams dropped considerably—in some areas reaching a two-thirds decrease—Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff called an emergency meeting with energy representatives to shore up electricity reserves. Rousseff tasked her Minister of Mines and Energy, Edison Lobão, to head the meeting, which Folha de São Paulo is reporting will occur on Wednesday. At issue: Brazilian cities have experienced blackouts in recent months, and some private-sector analysts are projecting a rationing of electricity in the world's sixth-largest economy—recalling a similar scenario in 2001. Pay attention to see if Rousseff's government announces any measures for 2013 as a result of the meeting.
Canada Discusses Africa Policy: Beninese President Thomas Yayi Boni, also the head of the African Union, will visit Prime Minister Stephen Harper in Ottawa tomorrow. A central focus of the meeting is anticipated to be the growing instability in Mali; last month the United Nations Security Council agreed to an African-led counter-assault against Islamist rebels. Boni's visit could include a request for Canadian involvement. According to Defense Minister Peter MacKay, the Canadian government is "contemplating what contribution Canada could make." International Cooperation Minister added that "Canada remains very concerned about the situation in Mali, [but] we do not anticipate going there." More concrete details will likely surface after tomorrow's meeting.
Bolivia holds first census in 11 years
November 21, 2012
A national population and housing census will take place in Bolivia today, the first in the country in 11 years. Ahead of the survey, President Evo Morales has imposed a general curfew, which restricts private traffic, bans alcohol and closes the country's borders during the day. Exceptions to the curfew include government officials, diplomats, journalists and medical personnel.
The objective of the measure is to recount the country's population to better assess its needs. "The census is not for the government, it is for the people, especially for the future generations," Morales said. Under the current Bolivian constitution, a census must take place every 10 years. The country has held 10 such surveys since independence in 1826.
According to the National Institute of Statistics (Instituto Nacional de Estadistica⎯INE) Bolivia's population was of 8,274,325 inhabitants for the 2001 census. Estimates indicate that the population has grown to nearly 11 million.
The results from the census will lead to changes in the number of representatives in the legislative body. At the same time, some communities fear that they may be underrepresented in this year's count, which will restrict their access to resources in the future. Given the important implications for years to come, the census has triggered more than 80 disagreements over the municipal borders that will help to define specific population areas. On Monday, Morales clarified that the objective of the census is not to solve territorial conflicts but to update information on the number of inhabitants and their needs.
Today the INE will mobilize 217,000 canvassers and will have the support of 36,000 police officers and the armed forces to carry out the national census. All Bolivians, including foreigners who reside in the country or are visiting, must remain at home and participate. Those who fail to abide by the curfew will be subject to a fine.
Bolivian Miners Blockade Roads To La Paz in Escalating Standoff
September 13, 2012
Hundreds of Bolivian miners are continuing to block road access to La Paz in an escalating standoff between miners and the Bolivian government over access to the Colquiri tin and zinc mine. The Bolivian government expropriated the Colquiri mine from the Swiss company Glencore in June, leading to a dispute over which Bolivian mining groups should take over.
On Monday, a group of protesting miners set up blockades on three major roads leading into La Paz. The protesters, from the Federación Departamental de Cooperativas Mineras de La Paz (Fedecomin), are protesting their exclusion from the Colquiri mine by a rival group.
At the same time, miners employed by the state-run Bolivian Mining Corporation (Comibol) are currently blocking access to Colquiri. They have announced plans to march to La Paz to demand that the government prevent other mining groups from tapping into the mine's richest vein, known as the Rosario vein.
Bolivian Interior Minister Carlos Romero urged the rival groups to remain peaceful, saying that they "can't deny each other's rights and exclude each other as if they were irreconcilable enemies." Romero unsuccessfully attempted to organize a dialogue with the protesting miners on Tuesday, but the Fedecomin miners said that they would only consent to negotiate with Bolivian President Evo Morales himself, with whom they have requested a meeting.
"We will only talk with President Evo Morales. Anything less makes no sense because the Minister does not have decision-making power," said Fedecomin President Miguel Manuel Cañaja.
The Fedecomin miners said they will not end their blockade of Bolivia's roads until the "salaried" miners employed by the government agree to lift their blockade of the Colquiri mine and let other groups in.
The government has asked the miners to cease their respective blockades, citing concerns that some of the protesters on both sides of the dispute have dynamite in their possession. Meanwhile, transport workers have begun to clash with the protesters, who are blocking their routes.
President Morales has asked the warring factions to respect each other's rights: "Both sectors…have constitutional rights and have an obligation to understand each other and work together to exploit the natural resources that are so important for Bolivians."
La batalla del presidente Evo Morales con los indígenas del Territorio Isiboro Sécure
July 11, 2012
El año 2009 visité Yungas de Vandiola en Cochabamba, Bolivia, colindante por el costado sur con el Chapare, el mayor centro de producción de hoja coca en Bolivia. Allí vivía Silvia, dirigente cocalera.
Silvia me contó que el ahora gobernador de Cochabamba, Edmundo Novillo, paisano de la zona y miembro del partido de Evo Morales había prometido tierras a nuevos cocaleros como parte de la campaña política del MAS. Promesa cumplida. Porque esos colonos ingresaron a Yungas de Vandiola a plantar coca y el año 2006 se armó la grande dejando como saldo dos muertos. Lugareños contra colonizadores. Pero como Yungas de Vandiola es extraña -y sospechosamente diría yo- un lugar casi olvidado, nadie hizo demasiado caso.
Ahora que el centro de atención es el Territorio Indígena y Parque Nacional Isiboro Sécure (TIPNIS) pienso en Silvia y en Yungas de Vandiola. Porque lo que ocurre con el TIPNIS es básicamente lo mismo. Aunque detrás del TIPNIS hay todavía mucho más que desatar pero eso vendrá después. Ahora sucede que los cocaleros del Chapare y nuevos colonos afines al presidente Evo Morales, esperan -como en Yungas de Vandiola- ampliar la frontera para el cultivo de hoja coca invadiendo cada vez más el TIPNIS.
Esos cocaleros, ingresados al TIPNIS como hormiguitas, poco a poco, durante los últimos 40 años, han conformado lo que se llama el Polígono 7. A estos nuevos habitantes, los indígenas "originarios" del TIPNIS no los reconocen como miembros de su territorio. Pero es a ellos a quienes el gobierno de Morales quiere incluir sí o sí, como condición para "negociar" con los indígenas del TIPNIS que hace 15 días llegaron a La Paz en su IX marcha luego de más de dos meses de caminata para hablar con el Presidente Morales que finalmente no los recibió. ¿Qué pedían los indígenas? Que el gobierno desista de su intención de construir una carretera que pase por el medio del TIPNIS para lo cual busca realizar una consulta "previa" a todos sus habitantes -originarios y cocaleros recién llegados- ¿Para qué? Depende. Desde la versión del gobierno, para llevar desarrollo a la región. Y desde la versión de los indígenas del TIPNIS para posibilitar el desarrollo de la coca destinada al narcotráfico.
Bolivia Nationalizes National Electric Grid
May 2, 2012
Bolivian President Evo Morales on Tuesday announced his intention to nationalize a majority of the country's electricity transmission system, which is currently administered by a number of private-sector companies. Transportadora de Electricidad S.A., part of the Spanish multinational, Grupo Red Electrica de España, holds a 74 percent stake in Bolivia's electric grid and administers approximately 1,720 miles of high voltage lines. The remaining 26 percent of the grid is owned by individual domestic and foreign companies serving specific regions of the country.
The government justified this decision by characterizing as insufficient the $81 million that firms have spent on maintaining and expanding the grid over the past 16 years. In a press conference in La Paz' Palacio Quemado, Morales said, "we are nationalizing the Transportadora de Electricidad in the name of the Bolivian people as homage to the workers who fought for the recovery of our natural resources and basic services." The decree also said that the shareholders of the affected companies will be compensated, but did not specify exactly how.
This latest move is part of a larger trend in Bolivia toward nationalization that began in 2006 and has affected numerous sections, including hydrocarbons, telecommunications and agriculture. The Morales government considers certain "basic services"—energy, water and telecommunications—to be strategically vital and subject to state ownership.
There is likely to be swift condemnation by foreign investors in the region, particularly in light of recent moves to by the Cristinia Fernández de Kirchner government in Argentina to nationalize that country's largest energy firm, YFP.

He and Wasatch have been collaborating for several months to develop the complete system. The vise is solidly built; in fact it is over engineered to last a lifetime. There is a tube fly attachment under development, and a micro jaw is available now. Jaw change over takes less than 15 seconds. The vise comes with a centering gauge for rotary tying. It is available with black, red, or blue accents. The base is maple, with several unique features. It weighs a respectable 5 lbs. when fully loaded and it also has a clamp feature for those who do aggressive rotary tying. The bobbin rest is built into the base and it goes in and out of position better and faster than any I've seen. Also, since it isn't mounted on the vise stem when it is in the down position, it is completely out of the way of the tier. There is storage for thirteen tools built into the back of the base and I recommend that the tier drill a 1/16" hole in a convenient location for the bodkin. Two brass hook/bead cups are built in and there is a large well routed into the wood to capture small bits of material. The laser art is by Jason Borger and features his well-known Danica mayfly.

New Wind Turbine Will Be Visible From Manhattan
NAW Staff, Friday 13 January 2012 - 12:11:57
has announced that one of its LTW77 1.5 MW wind turbines will be erected in Bayonne, N.J. According to the company, the turbine will be visible from Battery Park in Lower Manhattan, as well as from many other locations in the metropolitan area.
The wind turbine is being installed together with LEITWIND's Colorado-based sister company, Leitner-Poma of America. The hub, generator and main-frame components were manufactured in LEITWIND's production facility in Austria. However, domestic supply is guaranteed, as the rotor blades, electronic components and tower were manufactured in the U.S.
The installation of the turbine is under contract with the Bayonne Municipal Utilities Authority by local company FAI-GON ELECTRIC, with support of LEITWIND. The clean energy produced by the wind turbine will be supplied to the Oak Street Pumping Station, the main sanitary storm-water pumping station serving the City of Bayonne.
The wind turbine is expected to produce approximately 3.3 GWh of electricity per year, the company adds.

Lanterne Rouge
by Ben Greenwood | 26/10/10
Alberto Contador, Carlos Sastre, Lance Armstrong are all riders you've heard of. Arnaud Coyot, Iker Flores and Wim Vansevenant are almost certainly riders you haven't. In every race there can only be one winner and many losers. But of these losers, someone has to be bottom of the pile. The Lanterne Rouge.
For any rider coming last isn't something you aim for, although in the Tour de France it can generate some publicity. Wim Vansevenant took great pride in his hat-trick of last place finishes between 2006 and 2008,and last year Kenny Van Hummel fought day after day to make the time limit. One expert called him the worst climber ever in the Tour de France, but that didn't stop him winning the hearts of many fans. Before a crash finally ended his tour. But to become the laterne rouge, first you have to finish. Watching many of your competitors fall by the wayside as they decide to end the suffering and accept their fate to receive a DNF next to their name.
At some point in their cycling career every rider finds themselves at the back, be it due to ill health, bad luck, poor form, or just because they're out of their depth. The back is a dark and painful place. A place where no one wants to be. A place where a look over your shoulder reveals a frightening sight. An open road that offers only solitude and failure. The only way to deal with this dark shadow is to look forward at the wheel in front, and make sure you never lose it. Sometimes you hear the shadow whispering into you ear, inviting you to join it. But you have to ignore it. The shadow isn't your friend. He's trying to trick you. If you can't follow the riders ahead, then it's just you and the shadow with an empty road ahead. As you're left to your personal suffering. While up ahead the rider who moments ago was safe in the knowledge there was a rider behind him suddenly starts to hear the shadow calling his name.
As all good English teachers tell their pupils, every story must have a beginning, a middle and an end. So must every bike race. Although the paradox here is that for many riders, the beginning can also be the end. When you switch on your TV set to watch a pro race, the graphics might show 80km to go. There will probably be a breakaway followed at some distance by the bunch. The riders might be chatting. They might looked relaxed. It might look easy. Bike racing is boring you might think. Nothing happens until 20km to go you might think. But you'd be wrong. Unless you're watching Tour of Poland, in which case your time would probably be better sleeping or alphabetising your DVD collection.
The start of the race is a tired riders worst nightmare. The fastest hour of the race is often the first. Attack follows attack. If it's a day where the break is likely to stick then every man and his dog wants to be in it. They say a dog's a man's best friend. But if your legs are empty then he certainly isn't. Not if he keeps attacking when it looks like the bunch might finally slow down. At this point of the race getting dropped is like a death sentence. The 10% time limit offers no comfort if you're by yourself with 150km still to go. Even with Jason Derulo on continuous loop inside your head, the chances of making the time cut if you get dropped early is close to zero. The one and only solution to this predicament is, don't get dropped. How you achieve this is up to you. Pray to God. Wear your lucky socks. Start at the front. Cheat.
It doesn't matter how you… wait a minute! Did I say cheat?
Now as I've said, if like Mr Derulo you're 'riding solo' too early, then you can look forward to a big fat HD next to your name at the finish. That's means Hors Delai, which, rather than suggesting a large queue at a French brothel, is actually 'out of time' in French. This means you can't start the next day. Unless you convinced the majority of the bunch to join you in your tardiness. In which case the judges will probably let you off with a stern warning and a letter home to your parents. It's in these circumstances that some riders cheat. Possibly worried that their dad won't be happy about having to miss the football on TV to go and have a chat with the chief commissaire about his sons persistent late arrivals at the finish. This can include holding onto cars, sitting on the bumper of cars, or in extreme cases getting into cars and jumping out a bit later. For a further insight on this read my 'bending the rules' blog (unless you're called Pete).
Next time you look at the results of a race. Don't just look at the top of the page. They've already experienced the euphoria of winning. They don't need your support. Looks for the names at the bottom of the list, just above the DNS, DNF and HD's. The guys who are fighting day in and day out, working for their team-mates or suffering with illness and injury. The riders who make up the numbers. But who don't give in while others fail around them. Wim Vansevenant we salute you.

|Concurrent bacterial infection and prolonged mechanical ventilation in infants with respiratory syncytial virus lower respiratory tract disease.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 15803295 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|OBJECTIVE: To identify demographic, clinical, and laboratory variables predictive for a concurrent bacterial pulmonary infection in ventilated infants with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) lower respiratory tract disease (LRTD) and investigate antimicrobial drug use. DESIGN AND SETTING: Retrospective, observational study in a 14-bed pediatric intensive care unit. PATIENTS: 82 infants younger than 1 year of age with a virologically confirmed RSV LRTD during 1996-2001, of whom 65 were mechanically ventilated. RESULTS: Microbiological data were available from 38 ventilated infants, 10 of whom had a positive blood culture (n=1) or endotracheal aspirate (n=9) obtained upon admission to the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). Infants with a positive culture had a lower mean gestational age but were otherwise demographically comparable to those with negative culture results. Infants with a positive culture were ventilated 4 days longer. Indicators for a concurrent bacterial infection were comparable between ventilated and nonventilated infants. Antimicrobial drugs were used in 95.1% of infants (100% of ventilated infants) with a mean duration of 7.8+/-0.3 days. The moment of initiation and duration of antimicrobial drug treatment varied considerably. CONCLUSIONS: We observed in ventilated infants a low occurrence of concurrent bacterial pulmonary infection, but infants with positive cultures needed prolonged ventilatory support. Improvement in the diagnosis of a pulmonary bacterial infection is warranted to reduce the overuse of antimicrobial drugs among ventilated infants with RSV LRTD and to restrict these drugs to the proper patients.

Authorities have recovered the body of a truck driver whose rig plunged into the Licking River in eastern Kentucky.
The recovery ended a 14-hour search by state and local authorities. Police say swift currents on the river this morning have delayed
rescue efforts for any occupants of the truck, which was submerged
in the river.
The truck went into about 30 feet of water at the Licking River overpass on I-64, and police say it has been leaking diesel fuel.
Police say the diesel fuel that leaked into the water doesn't pose any clear danger to the water supply. Federal and state environmental officials have initiated a cleanup.
The interstate is closed from mile marker 123 to 133. Traffic is
being rerouted at the Bath-Rowan county line.

Is there a way to gain access to the DatabaseServerLoginModule if I'm running
in two different JVMs.
I have done the following:
1. Created a loginServlet that reads the user name and password from the UI
2. Create a new
("configName" customCallbackHandler);
3. Connect to Jboss using a
I would like my
to use the DatabaseServerLoginModule within the Jboss's JVM so I can get the information needed to do url request validation.
Any idea?
Thanks all!

Hi there,
Are you using JAAS? If you are, then before you can use the database module to perform authorization checks on your URL, Tomcat has to authenticate with JBoss as an external client. The recommended way to do this is to use JBoss' CallbackHandler class.
Here is how I have implemented it in my application:
1. The following is my custom callback handler class:
package ca.talonline.business.security; //Sun Java classes. import java.io.*; import javax.security.auth.callback.*; /** *
This class handles Client-based JAAS callbacks initiated between *the JBoss container and its client servlet. This allows the JBoss *container to call back the client application in order to retrieve *specific authentication data, such as usernames and password, or *to display certain information, such as error and warning messages.
 * *@authorDarryl A. J. Staflund *@version1.02003-01-23 */ public class ClientCallbackHandler implements CallbackHandler { /** *
The username to authenticate off of.
 */ private String userId; /** *
The password to authenticate off of.
 */ private char[] passwd; /** *
This is the default constructor of this class.
 * *@paramuserIdThe username to authenticate off of. *@parampasswdThe password to authenticate off of. */ public ClientCallbackHandler (String userId, String passwd) { super (); this.setUserId (userId); this.setPasswd (passwd); } /** *
Retrieves or displays the information requested in the provided *Callbacks. The handle method implementation checks the *instance(s) of the Callback objects passed in to retrieve *or display the requested information.
 * *@paramcallbacksAn array of callback objects provided *by an underlying security service which *contains the information requested to be *retrieved or displayed. *@exceptionIOExceptionThrown if an I/O error occurs. *@exceptionUnsupportedCallbackExceptionThrown if the implementation of this method *does not support one or more of the Callbacks *specified in the callbacks parameter. */ public void handle (Callback[] callbacks) throws IOException, UnsupportedCallbackException { for (int i = 0; i < callbacks.length; i++) { if (callbacks[i] instanceof NameCallback) { String userId = this.getUserId (); ((NameCallback) callbacks[i]).setName (userId); } else { char[] passwd = this.getPasswd (); ((PasswordCallback) callbacks[i]).setPassword (passwd); } } } /** *
Returns the username associated with this callback.
 * *@returnStringThe username associated with this callback. */ private String getUserId () { return (this.userId); } /** *
Assigns a username to this callback.
 * *@paramuserIdThe username to associate with this callback. */ private void setUserId (String userId) { this.userId = userId; } /** *
Returns the password associated with this callback.
 * *@returnchar[]The password associated with this callback. */ private char[] getPasswd () { return (this.passwd); } /** *
Assigns a password to this callback.
 * *@parampasswordThe password to assign to this callback. */ private void setPasswd (String passwd) { this.passwd = passwd.toCharArray (); } }
2. The following code actually performs the authentication:
/** *
Synchronize the names of all action mappings defined in the Struts *config file with the names of all action mappings persisting in the *database at the start of an application run.
 * *@paramservletThe ActionServlet associated with this plugin. *@paramconfigThe configuration object for this module. *@exceptionServletExceptionThrown if an error is encountered. */ public void init (ActionServlet servlet, ModuleConfig config) throws ServletException { try { //Use JAAS' ClientLoginModule in order to copy the authentication information from //this servlet to the client-side EJB invocation layer, which sends it to the server //during EJB invocation. //System.setProperty ("java.security.auth.login.config", "client-login"); ClientCallbackHandler handler = new ClientCallbackHandler ("username_here", "password_here"); LoginContext loginCtx = new LoginContext ("client-login", handler); loginCtx.login (); //Create a set containing the paths of all action configurations for this application. ActionConfig[] actionConfigs = config.findActionConfigs (); Set paths = new LinkedHashSet (actionConfigs.length); for (int i = 0; i < actionConfigs.length; i++) { ActionConfig actionConfig = actionConfigs[i]; String path = actionConfig.getPath (); paths.add (path); } //Pass the array to the SecurityActionBean so that it can process it as needed. SecurityActionDelegate sad = new SecurityActionDelegate (); sad.synchronizeActions (paths); //Log out when finished. loginCtx.logout (); } catch (EJBException e) { throw new ServletException (e); } catch (LoginException e) { throw new ServletException (e); } }
Hope this helps.

The code example is great. I do have one question. I am running Tomcat and Jboss in different JVMs. I have a requirement not to use the JBOSS with embedded Tomcat. If this is the case, when I create the
loginCtx = new
("client-login", handler);
And then connect to JBOSS:
jndiCtx = new
How will the callbackhandler know to pass the user name and password to the login module within JBOSS?
This might be a dumb question and I'm missing something. Sorry for the ignorance.

Hi there,
I don't have a direct answer because I normally work within the confines of one JVM. I think what you are going to have to do, though, is develop some RMI code in order to perform inter-JVM authentication. Having no JBoss-specific experience with implementing external RMI-based clients, I can only hang my head in shame and say that jboss.org's forums will be a much better resource than me on the matter :-)

© Copyright 2015 Albany Herald
ALBANY -- Voters can meet the candidates for mayor in the November election at John Howard's town hall meeting at 10 a.m. Saturday at the Law Enforcement Center.
Expecting a large turnout, Howard moved his meeting place to the larger hall at 201 W. Oglethorpe Blvd. from its usual east Albany location.
"For a sneak preview of the candidates and their platforms, everyone from all parts of the city should come to this meeting," Howard said. "As informed voters, we should try to learn as much about the candidates before the November general election."
Candidates B. J. Fletcher and Dorothy Hubbard confirmed they would attend the meeting. Candidate John White did not respond to the more than six messages left on his phones.
Fletcher and Hubbard said they planned to use the meeting to explain their views of the problems facing the city. The also said they planned to outline their approaches to the problems.
After having a series of what she called "Hubbard's Huddles" with citizens, Hubbard said people told her the main issues in the city include crime, education, jobs and blight.
Hubbard said she sees the mayor as the person in the middle who brings experts such as the police chief, the board of education, the city manager and people together to solve the city's problems.
"Working on one problem affects the others," Hubbard said. "A good education leads to jobs and lowers crime, and businesses with jobs can help the city get rid of its blight."
Fletcher said she would gladly attend the meeting called by Howard, whom she called a man who leads by example. Howard gets his community involved in fighting crime and trying to improve the business climate for jobs. Fletcher said she intends to do the same.
"He is very involved with his community's neighborhood watch programs and the people in his area to make the area a safer place to work and a safe home to go to after work," Fletcher said. "I intend to let the police do their job and live up to their responsibilities. If there is equipment or anything else they need, I'll see they get it."
As with most meetings Howard hosts, the schedule calls for the meeting to start promptly at 10 a.m. The candidates will each make a 10-minute presentation, and then there will be a question-and-answer session.
Howard added that when the meeting adjourns at about 11:30 a.m., there will be time for the voters to talk to the candidates in a social atmosphere.

I would be interested in knowing how much the APD budget has increased over the past 5 years and how much crime has decreased during that same period to see if all the newest gadgets is really a good return on investment.

Man on 4-wheeler leads officers on chase
Published On: Oct 23 2012 03:59:04 PM CDT Updated On: Oct 23 2012 05:19:12 PM CDT
A suspect on a four-wheeler led officers on a chase in northwest Houston Tuesday.
Investigators said the chase started on Veterans Memorial north of Beltway 8 shortly before 3 p.m. and ended a few miles away in the 9500 block of Maxroy at Irby, where the suspect crashed.
The suspect escaped on foot and remains on the loose. Harris County Precinct 4 deputies were searching for him.
Officials suspected the four-wheeler was stolen.

Very nice set for the price. Like the other reviewers mentioned, you don't get many repetitions, but considering that you get eight sets of alphabet stickers for under $5 I find it to be a good deal. Might want to stock up on these if doing a lot of headings.
A nice selection of coloured cardstock letters stickers. Ideal for absolutely everything! Already worked my way through half of the colours and I just got them today! Will definitely be ordering some more!
These make finishing up a page with lettering and Titles a breeze and the wide range of colors fits most color schemes. Great product!
These letter stickers are perfect for mixing with other fonts or using them alone. Love the colors!

Standings in this week DJ FX Frenzy took a decided turn — thanks to the actions of the Bank of Japan.
The BOJ's massive new easing program, announced Thursday, upended trades of competitors in the bracket-style tournament, in which strategists from three regions compete in head-to-head matchups based on weeklong foreign exchange trade ideas.
The two competitors battling it out for the Americas regional championship had fallen on different sides of the yen trade this week, leaving their fates largely in the hands of BOJ Governor Haruhiko Kuroda.
When you've got nothing to lose, you might as well put all your chips on the table.
That all-or-nothing mindset has been embraced by a few competitors in DJ FX Frenzy, a five-week tournament where strategists and traders across the globe pit their best trade ideas against each other's.
One twist that makes this tournament different from the participants' day jobs: they aren't using real money. Interestingly, that appears to have encouraged some of them to swing for the bleachers. All they have to lose is a little pride. Also, because these trades are open for a full week, participants are forced to sit on their hands after placing their bets rather than readjust on a daily basis. The result is a notably more aggressive, risky, and sometimes counterintuitive trading style compared with what goes on in the world's $4 trillion-a-day currency markets.
By Erin McCarthy and Vincent Cignarella
Then there were 12.
After Cyprus's messy bailout delivered another roller coaster ride in currency markets to leave competitors in the DJ FX Frenzy tournament trading the lead repeatedly last week, the field in this inaugural battle of foreign exchange strategists has narrowed to 12 from 24.
Those who did best (you can see the FX Frenzy brackets here) were those who benefited from the turmoil unleashed by the Cyprus crisis, especially those competitors who submitted bets against the euro in the previous round. In fact, the top three best returns globally came from short-euro bets. Ric Spooner, chief market analyst at CMC Markets in Sydney, was the top performer globally with a sell-euro, buy-Japanese yen trade idea that saw a 1.7% return for the week ended March 22. That trade got boosted by haven-seeking flows into the yen as investors fretted whether an agreement on the Cyprus bailout would be reached.
Meanwhile, both the second- and third-best performers globally–Sue Trinh, senior currency strategist at Royal Bank of Canada in Hong Kong, and Carl Hammer, chief currency strategist at SEB in Stockholm–offered up sell-euro, buy-sterling trade ideas that also returned more than 1%. All three participants are moving on to the next round.

Posted on: 27 February 2012 in monitoring, power, cacti, collectd, sysadmin
I've had a cacti server for some time, but I recently decided to experiment with collectd. In this post, I'll talk about how I ported my CurrentCost monitoring code to work with collectd.
For a home user who just wants to monitor my router, power usage, and the odd arduino controlled thermometer, cacti is fine, but the limitations are fairly obvious:
This contents of list are definitely enough to make me want to find an alternative.
collectd doesn't really replace Cacti (it has no real web interface), but it does fix lots of cacti's problems. In particular it allows you to create arbitrarily complex monitoring topologies (cool phrase!) in which your hosts push data to your monitoring servers rather than the other way around. It requires very little in the way of configuration (the network plugin listens for pretty much anything), is configured using text files (yay!), and you can stream as much data as you like to your monitoring server and it'll save pretty much all of it.
I haven't written about setting up monitoring with cacti in past, but actually grabbing data from something is usually the easy bit. To do that, you just need to write a script which outputs the information you want cacti to consume. The hard part is jumping through the hoops of adding your script to cacti. Here's an example script; you'll need to read cacti's docs to see how to hook your own scripts up.
Getting data into collectd can be a little more complex if you use the network plugin, because it expects you to use its own protocol. Thankfully, the docs are pretty good, and the language and plugin support is even better.
I decided to port my CurrentCost monitoring script to collectd, and since the monitoring scripts I already have are written in ruby (and I'm lazy), I decided to use ruby-collectd, and Daemons.
The CurrentCost has an RJ11 socket on the back which is actually a serial port (at 57600 baud 8N1). CurrentCost sell adaptors for these (mine has a Prolific PL203), so it's dead easy to plug the thing into a computer. I use the serialport gem to connect to this and read the data.
Every six seconds, the CurrentCost monitor outputs a single line of XML, like this:
My script uses
rexml/document to parse this, on the off-chance that some of the other data could become useful in future. Accessing the parsed data is then done using xpath expressions, like this:
The final step is sending the data to collectd, with the ruby-collectd gem. Thankfully, the gem has decent documentation, but if you've not done much with collectd you might find the examples frustrating, because they don't actually work! This is because the method call is dynamically converted to the type you want to record (using
method_missing), and _not__ arbitrary. For example, in the expression:
Stats.my_counter(:my_sleep).counter = 0
my_counter would be the type, and
my_sleep the name. However, collectd's
types.db doesn't know about
my_counter, so this won't work. Instead, as I just hinted, you need to look in your collectd's
types.db for something which sounds like what you're trying to measure, and use that as the method name above. In my config, I found:
power value:GAUGE:0:U
temperature value:GAUGE:-273.15:U
Which looks perfect! So to stream the data to my collectd, I use:
stats = Collectd.current_cost(:reader)
stats.temperature(:temperature).gauge = xml.elements['//tmpr'].text.to_f
stats.power(:power).gauge = xml.elements['//ch1/watts'].text.to_f
That covers most of the interesting parts of my monitoring script. Daemons is really easy to use, so I haven't mentioned that here - see the script for the gory details. The final (but still work in progress) script can be found below:
To run it, use:
ruby current_cost.rb start
And the magic of the Daemons library will be invoked. Finally, check your collectd's rrd directory to see if the data is being collected, then use something like the
collection3 frontend, or
rrdtool to view some graphs!

Like a bee to nectar: Mighty Magnus flexes his hard body while Sexy Surge worships him
Massive Man Muscle Mismatch, or, Magnus Serves Surge
The Boss always has an eye out for new wrestling talent. He finds some of the most promising wrestlers in the most unexpected of places. Sometimes, they find him.
Magnus and Surge are underground wrestlers, both with the same specialty: muscle domination. They each offer their services to clients with a particular taste for being conquered and controlled by a massively muscled beast. As you might imagine, business is brisk for both of these stunning specimens, but comparisons between the two are unavoidable. A war of words broke out between them in the personal ads. Insults were exchanged. Challenges proclaimed. And The Boss found these two bodybuilders standing on his doorstep with gear in hand and a score to settle once and for all, with the BG East audience as judge and jury over which muscle titan is #1.
Never one to look a gift horse in the mouth, The Boss booked Magnus and Surge into the BG East matroom immediately. In yellow square cut trunks and mask, Magnus is first out of the dressing room and into the matroom. He's one of the biggest wrestlers BG East has ever seen! Flexing for his own pleasure in the mirror, Magnus towers 6'4" tall and carries an astonishingly ripped 230 pounds of thick, rock hard muscle stretched across his massive frame. His muscle definition is astonishingly cut, and every inch of his bulging physique is traced in spiderwebs of intricate veins. His physical presence seems to fill up the matroom like no other BG East wrestler has before.
When Surge enters the matroom in his zebra striped trunks and matching mask, he pauses at the sight of Magnus' stunning lat spread. Surge is a physical trainer by day and an incredible physical specimen as well. With bulging pecs and shoulders so wide he needs to turn sideways to get through most doors, Surge is accustomed to being the biggest and baddest muscle stud in any room. The look of awe in his eyes is hard to miss, however. Five inches shorter and 45 pounds lighter, Surge takes his first long look at his competition out of street clothes. Without a doubt, Magnus poses the biggest challenge of Surge's muscle domination career. For his part, impressive Magnus is himself impressed at this perfect muscled opponent...

A great start put the Assumption girls basketball team on the fast track to Green Bay.
With a double-digit lead early in the first quarter, Assumption rolled to a 49-31 victory over Seneca on Saturday night in a WIAA Division 5 sectional finals at Logan High School.

Through seven weeks this NFL season, Buffalo's Chan Gailey was a legitimate contender for Coach of the Year. After the 2010 Bills finished 4-12 in his first year as coach, they started 5-2 and were one of the league's best stories.
The Bills are 0-7 since and have a good shot to finish 5-11. Boom to gloom. Again.
Buffalo has been hurt by injuries as much as any team in the NFL. Lack of depth caused by a decade of lousy drafts made this collapse inevitable. ...

The Vampire Diaries Season 1 Episode 17
Let the Right One In
Frederick made his presence very much felt this week. With Pearl heading into Mystic Falls for the day, he ignored her statement that the vampires weren't there for revenge.
Helping to start a mutiny of sorts, Frederick and a couple friends attacked Stefan in the woods. Our favorite blood sucker was out looking for animal blood and especially weak, so he couldn't put up much of a fight. Once they had Stefan in their clutches, Frederick and company took him back to the house and tortured him. Frederick wants vengeance against the Salvatores for the fact that Katherine's obsession with them led to their 145 years in the tomb.
Once Damon discovers Stefan has been kidnapped, he enlists Alaric to help because he hasn't been invited into the home where the vampires are residing. Alaric has some cool toys to assist with the mission, such as vervain-filled darts. Off he and Damon go to the house - and Elena, too, of course. They couldn't talk her out of it.
As Alaric and Damon do battle with these evil creatures, Elena abandons the car and finds Stefan locked in the basement. He's there with Harper, who tried to fight back against Frederick. Elena frees Stefan. She carries him back to the car... but he's REALLY weak. When Frederick attacks again, and drives a stake through Stefan, he hits the ground. Elena is able to stab Frederick right back, but Stefan is not doing well.
How does Elena save her man? By offering him her blood. Stefan drinks it down - and feels the scary effects! He springs to life, and totally goes off on Frederick, who was starting to recover from Elena's weak stabbing. Stefan is taken to an entirely new place by this taste of human blood, killing Frederick, but also scaring Elena.
When Pearl finally arrives home, she finds some dead vampires and a pissed off Damon. She says this isn't her plan.
Back at the Salvatore household, here's how the episode ends: with Damon walking in on his brother, who's developed a major eating disorder: he's just down bags of human blood and has a crazed look on his face.
In other storyline developments:
- Pearl has dinner with Mayor Lockwood. She tries to learn as much as she can about him and Mystic Falls.
- Forced off the main road by a storm, Caroline comes across Vicki's dead body. This discovery has a major impact on Matt, who takes the new hard; and on Jeremy, who basically admits to Anna that he wanted to be turned because he thought Vicki was a vampire and wanted to join her. That revelation upsets Anna.

I thought that this episode was shocking and wrong at the same time. The tomb vampires torture Stefan and I insist that all the bad vampires should die and get lost. Luckilly, Damon wanted to save him including Elena but seemed a little weird to have Alaric join in too cause when he's around, Damon's not much of a good person around him. What really was shocking is having human blood take a wrong turn and make things go strangely out of bounds. It may have felt wrong seeing these events but luckilly, there's always a solution to find,even when there's some hard things to solve. ;)
What a great episode, totally awesome!!!!!
love this show
i totally love it
love damon and elena
hope they get together LOVE U STEFAN BUT JUST STAY AWAY FROM THEM
I bet well i hope elena will be turned away from stefan with his drinkin prob and wat not. and i hope she will turn 2 damon and he will comfort her and it will be amazin gif tht happens bcuz they jst r soo good together! but idk wats gonna happen bcuz elena cant jst dump stefan 4 damon and she cnt not b wit damon. I hpe stefan will go wit katherine. in the book he was so much better wit katherine. if "delena" doesnt happen im going 2 b mad and happy cuz they go good 2gether and if they dnt imma b mad but then im happy cuz I can have damon!
This episode was so amazing! As the series goes on, each episode truly outdoes its predecessor. The scene in the rain between Damon and Elena was purely amazing. Really don't want Bonnie to come back though. I can't stand her.
I LOVE DIS SHOW. I really wonder how the new drinkn problem dat stefan has is gonna impact him and elenas relationship and will they still hang out alot and be able to kiss each other and be together or will he find some solution like tryn to stop or would that nt work.I also see how he kinda likes elana and doesnt want anything to happen to hr even though he made dat comment dat hes nt human and he doesnt care about things.I also think dat anna wanted to hear dat jeremy wanted to be a vampire to be wit her instead of wit vicky, she thought they had somethg special bt he burst dat bubble bt i knw he'll find a way to make it better and after all dis time i cnt believe dat damon still has a lil interest in gettn katharine bac. I knw its probaly hard to get ovr someone dat u loved and lost and spend most of all ur time planning to get hr bac bt life is hard and so is luv and dats jus da way it is and i wonder where all the othr vampires like katharine and elanas birth mother are at and how are there living conditions and y doesnt elanas mothr wnna see her and how does katharine look now and is it like identical to elana bt like i said im very interested in the luv connection dat elana and stefan had and i really just wnna knw how dats gnna be for dem now and i havent heard anythg about tyler turning into a werewolf or anythg and im sayn dis to anybody who took out da time to read dis. SORRY I WROTE SO MUCH.
i haven't read the book but i knew that tyler would be a wolf..it's because of ep.10 that viewed tyler with the full moon as the background..can't wait for thurday..
I absolutely love Damon. He is my favorite character. I hope he and Elena come closer! As for Caroline i have no idea. They changed the series so much but i love it. I like caroline better in the tv show and i like her better with matt. I dont think she will find out tylers a werewolf because she...well she cant. I bet a vamp or jeremy will find out tylers secret. and what is up with Jeremy?? He wants to be turned. He should of told Anna that he likes her not that other crap about vamps and vicki. Anyways sorry i wrote a lot. I just love the series! Its my favorite. It is way better than twilight. More people need to know about this show!! Did i mention i LOVE damon?
It'd be cool if Caroline found out that Tyler was a werewolf, but I don't think that's going to happen because it says the discovery "shocks everyone in town." My guess is that that means she tells everyone, which would probably not be the best idea because it might expose the vampires as well and/or Bonnie. But I can't wait for Thursday!

|Nitric Oxide contributes to the regulation of iron metabolism in skeletal muscle in vivo and in vitro.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 20411304 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Nitric Oxide (NO) plays an important role in iron redistribution during exercise, while its molecular regulatory mechanism is still not clear. Our present studies were to investigate the effects of NO on iron metabolism and to elucidate the regulatory mechanism of iron transport in skeletal muscle both in vivo and in vitro. One group of male Wistar rats (300 +/- 10 g) were subjected to an exercise of 30 min on a treadmill for 5 weeks (exercise group, EG, 6 rats) and the other one was placed on the treadmill without running (control group, CG, 6 rats). The cultured L6 rat skeletal muscle cells were treated with either 0.5 mM SNAP (NO donor) or not for 24 h, and their iron release and intake amount were examined by measuring radiolabelled (55)Fe. The results showed: (1) The NO content (CG, 1.09 +/- 0.18 micromol/g vs. EG, 1.49 +/- 0.17 micromol/g) and non-heme iron in gastrocnemius (CG, 118.35 +/- 11.41 microg/g vs. EG, 216.65 +/- 11.10 microg/g) of EG were significantly increased compared with CG. (2) The expression of DMT1 (IRE) and TfR1 of EG was increased. (3) The iron intake was increased in L6 cells treated with SNAP (P < 0.01). (4) Western blot results showed the protein level of both TfR1 and DMT1 (IRE) in SNAP cells were up-regulated, while the expression of FPN1 was down-regulated (P < 0.05). The data suggested that the induced elevation of NO level by exercise lead to the up-regulation of both TfR1 and DMT1 (IRE), which in turn increasing the iron absorption in skeletal muscle.

My new trick for NOT testing my baking too much is...I watch a weight loss show while I'm busy in the kitchen. I had to make a wedding cake yesterday and while I was icing it I was watching 'Last 10 pounds Boot Camp'. That stopped me from licking my fingers and the bowl too much!!
After the box of baking soda in your fridge or freezer no longer keeps your fridge fresh, you can dump it into your bath tub (I sprinkle a bit into the sink, too), add a bit of water to make a paste and use it as a slightly abrasive scrub for cleaning. Just be sure to rinse well.(you may want to test a small area to ensure that the baking soda wont scratch the finish of your tub)
testing out
My Glucometer has test strips and a solution that enables me to make sure the meter and test strips are working properly. Dropping your meter, leaving strip container open and other things can affect meter or strips. If my numbers look off i can check it out. The company supplies the test solution or it can be bought at pharmacy.

Lewis was badly hurt several times in the fight and was outslugged, outworked, outmuscled, outboxed, outlanded in every round, dominated and outclassed by Vitali.
Punches Landed
Vitali 156
Lewis 102
Lewis was exhausted, worn down and hurt from the accumulation of punches and was ready to get KTFO again, he collapsed onto his stool at the end of the 6th round, Vitali was clearly the fresher of the two, he would've KO'd Lewis for sure if the fight had continued.
After the fight, Vitali intimidated the **** out of Lewis and made him look like a *****. The whole crowd cheered for Vitali and booed Lewis out of the arena.
Lewis promised Vitali a rematch.
Vitali destroyed Kirk Johnson in 2 rounds and called out Lewis again in the post fight interview. The gutless coward Lewis retired shortly after that fight.
Lewis turned down 40 million dollars for a rematch and retired like a coward because he knew he would get destroyed by Vitali.
Vitali dominated Lewis and scared him into retirement.
Vitali proved he's the superior fighter.
George Foreman: "Vitali was winning the fight. Lewis got lucky. There has to be a rematch!"
Jim Lampley: "A lucky escape for Lewis who was clearly losing the fight"
Even Emanuel Steward was upset and ****ed off at Lewis for blatantly ducking a Vitali rematch.
Lewis is scared to death of Vitali.
Fact Lennox to took the fight on short notice and was preparing for Kirk Johnson and entirely different style and still he gave Vitali his shot at the title.
Vitali was set to face Boswell on the undercard from what I recall and when the Johnson fight fell apart due to an injury, Lewis elected to Give Vitali his shot in order to save the card.
Here is a FACT:
Had this fight taken place anywhere other than LA, they wouldnt have given Vitali that many rounds they would have stopped it immediately and awarded Lewis the win, Yes Vitali was doing well and probably ahead, but Lennox stopped him with in the rules.
FACT: nothing you post will ever change Vitalis Record, stop trying to turn losing into winning... Lewis TKO 6 #FACT
