From delivering vaccines to the hardest to reach in some of the world's poorest countries, to influencing global health and development policies, civil society organisations help to advance Gavi's vision of a world where vaccines are available to all
Civil society organisations (CSOs) - including non-government organisations, advocacy organisations, a range of professional and community associations, faith-based organisations, and academia - are important Gavi partners across a wide spectrum of activities.
CSOs, in partnership with governments, are important actors in implementing immunisation programmes, delivering up to 65% of immunisation services in many developing countries, strengthening health systems, training health workers, and supporting logistics and vaccine delivery.
Advancing equity is an important aim of Gavi's health system strengthening support. Remote communities, and minority and marginalised groups represent the last 15-20% of the population that all too often elude immunisation campaigns. Civil society is vital in delivering health services and immunisation to those who need them the most.
Gavi remains committed to strengthening its partnership with civil society ... as we seek to deliver on the promise to immunise a quarter of a billion children and saving almost 4 million lives by 2015.
Dr Seth Berkley, Gavi Chief Executive Officer
Civil society is influential in the formulation of national health policy, and in shaping global health and aid policy debates on issues such as women's health, aid effectiveness, and access to medicines.
CSOs often bring to light and advocate for these issues to ensure that global health and development continue to save children's lives and protect people's health.
Securing predictable donor funding, including from emerging economies and the private sector, is important for extending immunisation services and improving child health. Furthermore, increasing national spending on health and immunisation by implementing country governments is important for ensuring the long-term sustainability of immunisation programmes and access to health.
As communities demand more immunisation and health services, CSOs are a powerful voice in urging governments, donors, and the private sector, in the North and South, to invest sustainably in child health and immunisation. In addition, CSOs play an important role in encouraging these stakeholders to deliver on their commitments.
Civil society has an important role in bridging the gap between governments or global health actors such as Gavi and communities, by representing the voice of communities and the issues that affect them.
To this end, CSOs play a positive role in supporting governments, donors, and other global health actors to be responsive to the needs of communities. They also encourage all stakeholders to be more accountable and transparent in their actions.
Through their active participation in Gavi's governance, CSOs provide input to ensure that the Vaccine Alliance's programmes and policies are robust and that the Vaccine Alliance maintains a high level of transparency, accountability, and responsiveness.
Currently, CSOs have one seat on the Gavi Board and participate in Board committees and Board/Secretariat task teams. For more information, please see Civil Society Constituency.

Decor Ideas
Commentary: Creative Classroom
Decorating Kits
In the last couple of weeks
we began offering "Creative
Decorating Kits" I just wanted to take a little time to
discuss this concept. As I do, please keep in mind that I am
not trying to convince you to buy, buy, buy!!! When God
placed the vision for Creative Kids Ministry on our hearts
we made the decision that we would not "Sell" Creative Kids
in an undignified manner. I truly believe in the concept of
the Creative Kits.
I believe deeply in the
ideals of great facility designs for kids. It has become my
passion. For years now we have seen white, almond, and gray
cover the walls of children's departments in MANY churches.
As you walk through Classrooms, hallways and entire
departments it seems more like a hospital or ward of an
institute. Many churches are concerned that the reaction of
the parishioners and visitors will be negative at the site
of a room that is child related. In my experience this is
completely opposite of what I have seen first hand!
I have been told "we don't want to deface our (white)
walls", "we use those classrooms for a once a week (adult)
meeting" and so on. In each of these cases I can understand
those positions, but I also believe that with a little bit
of creative thinking a solution can be found that allows
both positions to be accomplished. Children need a place
that is "Kid Friendly" A place that they can call their own,
or at the least feel that they are appreciated beyond a
bulletin board. I am convinced that when you combine awesome
instruction based on the Bible with an awesome facility
designed to be kid friendly, you have created the ultimate
environment for reaching children.
when churches do agree to allow classroom designs or themes
within the facility, their goal is to provide something that
is professional in appearance and meets the need of the
department but they don't know where to start. When I
consult with church leadership about designing I find that
80% want something but don't know what that something is.
You may find yourself in this position wanting to do
something but not knowing what to do or where to start.
That is why I designed Creative Kits, to provide an answer
to many of these questions. I have worked hard to provide
just about everything you will need to confidently design
and decorate your department, hallway, classroom or any
other area with ease. I have worked out an agreement with
Sherwin-Williams to provide color swatches and brochure
information to help take the guesswork out of painting, and
I have also included transparencies and step by step
instructions that walk you through the whole process. We are
currently working with a production company to begin
providing instructional videos, they should be available
soon. All for the purpose of providing you with all you will
need to do it yourself!
One of the current kits offered is Moses
parting the Red Sea. This kit is based on the most popular
mural I paint. Everyone that has witnessed these murals is
amazed. As of this writing I have painted 5.
The popularity of this mural has been made into a kit. The
artwork is drawn in a simpler form but the look will still
grab your attention.
This is just one example. We are
developing kits for use in just about every situation. The
themes I am currently working on are Butterflies, Spiritual
Armour, Underwater Ocean, Fruit of the Spirit, 7 Days of
Creation, and a kit featuring children of various
nationalities with big smiles. The type of Artwork that I am
drawing for people to paint, is high in quality, easy to
copy and fully to scale.
Thanks for your
interest in Creative Kids and for your desire to do
"something" in your children's ministry. (You wouldn't be
here if you didn't want to.) My goal is to change the "face"
of children's ministry, and a large part of reaching this
goal is by helping others who are involved in children's
ministry. Let me help you. If you have a question just ask!
Think differently, create something special for your kids!
Creatively His,

Vacation rentals in Italy (villas, farms, estates, agriturismo, apartments)

Palermo: Ristorante Sant' AndreaPiazza Sant'Andrea, 4 , Phone: 091.334999
Reviewed by: Colleen from CA (moderator), review #1231
When: 2005
Fabulous! Delicious food and good service.
This restaurant was recommended to us by several people - it's justifiably well regarded!
There are two dining areas; we were in the main room which was decorated with casual elegance. There were diners at only two other tables when we arrived; as the evening progressed the restaurant filled up. There was jazzy blues playing softly in the background.
Shannon and I started with the "Antipasti Rustico": fried cheeses, olives, artichoke hearts, cauliflower puffs - all delicious. For our primo we shared risotto with artichoke and shrimp - Fabulous! Really, really good.
As our shared secondo, we ordered the beef cooked with fruit crust and served with apple and pear slices. Oh. My. God. Melt-in-your-mouth Fantastic. We finished with a cheese and walnut plate; the cheeses were a little on the bland side. To be fair, we'd had a lot of flavors in our meal. It could have been that our palates were exhausted!
Service was very good; friendly and attentive but not overwhelming. (Although our waitress was dressed very casually ... with low rider jeans showing her belly roll!)
We had a bottle of Sicilian red wine and a large bottle of mineral water with dinner. Total for meal including wine: 66+tip.

Matthew Fox suits up and gets casual for Terry Tsiolis in Details (January/February 2009). The cover says "You are not alone" as a tagline in reference to the economy, but all I can think of is Michael Jackson's improbable #1 hit with its accompanying Lisa Marie Presley Jackson imagery. Or, as a second runner-up, the pedo-classic European film on which the song might well have been based. After all, Jackson owned the movie (it was among the "okay" but boylover-friendly merch he had in his compound) and the writer of the song was...R. Kelly.
On Lost, Fox comments: "All of us knew that if the show was strung out indefinitely, it was going to ruin the story. It's not like a doctor drama, where you have a new case each week." He's not sad that 2010 will be the end of the (already belabored?) series: "Personally, it's a relief."
More Matthew after the jump...

"It was pretty much just panic. People didn't know how to act when a dog of this size just locked down (and didn't let go)," said Nathan.
Nathan said he posted the video online unaware it featured the family of former Arizona Congresswoman Giffords, who was shot in the head in 2011.
"I was shocked. I didn't know that it was them. I felt bad that they went through this stressful situation," he said.
Police said the Kelly family did nothing wrong and no one will face any charges.
Nathan hopes the video will serve as a reminder to pet owners that things can quickly go awry with an overpowering dog.
"If you have a dog of that stature and that power, they should be accompanied by someone who can handle a dog that is as powerful as an American bulldog," he said.

AU brands CAR militia 'terrorists'Comment on this story
Bangui - The African Union on Tuesday branded militia targeting Muslims in Central African Republic as "terrorists" and said they would be treated as enemy combatants, a day after a Congolese peacekeeper was killed.
The statement suggested deepening international frustration at continuing violence in the impoverished and landlocked country despite the deployment of 2 000 French soldiers and a 6 000-strong African Union peacekeeping mission.
The AU said a peacekeeper from Republic of Congo was killed in fighting late on Monday in Boali, 80km north of Bangui. AU troops killed 12 militiamen in subsequent clashes, the statement said.
The incident is the latest in a wave of attacks on the AU peacekeepers, known as MISCA, by the 'anti-balaka' militia now roaming much of the capital and the rest of the former French colony, a sparsely populated nation of 4.5 million people.
"Henceforth, MISCA considers anti-balakas as terrorists and enemy combatants, and they shall be treated accordingly," the statement said.
The killing brought to 21 the number of MISCA peacekeepers who have died in Central African Republic, the statement added.
Mainly Muslim rebels from the north seized power a year ago in Central African Republic but their rule was marked by a string of abuses on the majority Christian population, triggering waves of revenge killings that left thousands dead and displaced hundreds of thousands.
The former rebels quit power in January under international pressure, giving way to an interim civilian government. But it has been powerless to halt attacks on Muslims by militia intent on driving them from the country.
The United Nations estimates about 15 000 Muslims are still trapped in Bangui and other areas in the north, north-west and south of the country, protected by international forces.
Heavy weapons fire rang out and grenades exploded as fighting gripped parts of the capital over the weekend, killing at least nine people, according to the local Red Cross.
Medical charity Medecins Sans Frontieres said its teams treated 38 people injured by bullets, explosions or machetes.
"These renewed attacks show that the violence in Bangui is not over yet, despite the continued presence of international forces," said Hakim Chkam, MSF's head of mission in CAR.
The UN's top human rights official warned last week that hatred between Christians and Muslims in Central African Republic had reached a "terrifying level".
Navi Pillay, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, appealed to the international community to urgently provide troops for a proposed 12 000-strong UN peacekeeping mission.
Earlier this month, France accused the European Union of shirking its responsibility after an EU plan to send 1 000 troops to Central African Republic to back French and African peacekeepers seemed on the verge of collapsing.
General Philippe Ponties, the man tasked with leading the mission, conceded that tensions over the crisis in Ukraine had led to delays but the EU now aims to deploy troops by the end of next month. - Reuters

The Business Roundtable says that 29 percent of its member CEOs plans to increase hiring over the next six months, the same as in September when the group released its previous quarterly survey.
- It would be relief for certain kinds of airline passengers arriving in the U.S from abroad. Those missing connecting flights because their checked bags have to be rescreened should be helped under legislation passed by the House. It has been sent to the president for his signature.
- Anti-virus software founder John McAfee, released from a detention center Wednesday, was escorted by immigration officials and police to the Guatemala City airport. There, he was apparently put on a commercial flight bound for Miami.

Mother Road: A Harley-Davidson Guided Tour of Route 66
Rider Magazine
February 14, 2008
Filed under Motorcycle Rides, Roads and Self-Guided Travel, Touring and Rallies
It's the morning of day five on our Route 66 tour and we might see tornadoes today. From the lobby of the motel in Oklahoma City, we're watching the TV weathercaster point to his Doppler radar screen, and specifically, the tornadoes touching down all around us. And there are lots of them.
At this point, it's early in our cross-country trip and, on top of the looming tornados, we have already ridden through a monsoon-like rainstorm in Illinois that some among us didn't think they'd survive. But this is adventure! It's what we came for, to ride the entire 2,400-odd miles of Route 66 from Chicago to Santa Monica, California, and experience the same things our motoring pioneers felt. If we had wanted to do the easy thing and see the Mother Road in luxury we would have taken a tour bus with air conditioning and vista dome. Instead, the seven downunders (five Australians, two New Zealanders) and three Americans on this Harley-Davidson tour came for the adventure—and the adventure starts now.
To this day, the West is still the adventure-seeker's symbolic crucible. From Lewis and Clark to the cowboys to Teddy Roosevelt to Buzz and Todd in their Corvette, the West has beckoned men and women to test their spunk against the land, the weather, and the road. But until Route 66 was established in 1926, there was no clear westward route for the average guy. Not until the happy marriage of manageable roads and dependable cars could the ol' Midwest man stuff the family and luggage into his Studebaker and head for the Pacific Ocean. Even then it was tough because only 800 of the Route's 2,400 miles were paved.
Through the rest of the roaring 1920s and 1930s, more of U.S. Route 66 was paved. It was a respectable two-lane blacktop when the Dust Bowl swept away Okies like tumbleweeds, blowing them to California where the law was waiting at the border, busting the heads of every Tom Joad trying to crash the gate into the Promised Land. Everybody wanted to be the last one in. The history of pre-WWII Route 66 is one of relative severity and adversity—that is to say, adventure. After WWII, road construction exploded, culminating in President Eisenhower's Interstate system and the eventual devouring of old Route 66 like a kid sucks up spaghetti.
Despite all this, Route 66 still lives and its history and fabric attract foreigners in record numbers. As Michael Wallis said in his excellent book, Route 66 The Mother Road, 75th Anniversary Edition:
"It was Steinbeck and Merle Haggard and Dorothy Lange. It's thousands of waitresses, service station attendants, fry cooks, truckers, grease monkeys, hustlers, wrecker drivers, and motel clerks. It's a wailing ambulance fleeing a wreck on some lonely curve…truly a road of phantoms and dreams, 66 is the romance of traveling the open highway. It's the free road."
Oh yes, this is where you discover America, the America before there were Blue states and Red states. The American before people were bicoastal to a degree that allowed middle America to be considered "flyover" country by some. This is where the local semi-pro baseball teams battled it out with………….their their rivals in the next town, and everybody actually showed up.
Of all moving machinery that carried dreams east to west, Harley-Davidson motorcycles have remained the constant, the most unchanged. Big thundering V-twins made in Milwaukee have hauled their riders across the country for the entire 81-year history of Big Mamma Six Six. We are riding a grand road in a grand tradition.
To introduce our tour pack, Clare and Dave Bartlett are from Kings Langley, Australia. Norm and Kathleen Smith are from the same town, and all four of them are on the adventure of a lifetime. They flew to Chicago, rented Harleys, and rode straightaway to Sturgis. Upon their return to Chicago, they joined this tour, and when it ends in California, they'll continue up to San Francisco, and then fly home. Steve Daniels is from Melbourne, Australia, but he's living temporarily in New York City. Kit Childs and his newfound love, Kay Harland, are from Fielding, New Zealand. The foreigners on this trip are rolling in American culture like colts in clover; they can't get enough and delight in every discovery.
The other two riders on the tour are Yankee women riding solo. Dolores Miller, 70, is from Stonington, Illinois, and both she and her Electra Glide Ultra Classic sidecar rig are the hardest chargers of the bunch. She says this is her last tour and she wants to make it a big one. However, judging by her vigor and speed, she'll likely be doing this tour again 10 years from now. Debra Robinson signed up for the challenge of it. She tells us she's our little rich girl, our pampered Empress, and that she's hoping the ride will test her mettle and teach her a thing or two about hardship. She's in the right place.
At the get-together dinner on the first night of the tour, everyone sized up their new riding companions sitting across the table. It was a mature bunch with nobody under 30 years of age, a few in their late forties and fifties…and one 70. The Aussies were obviously seasoned riders; they had hundreds of Harley pins and patches between them. Dolores' jacket was covered with ride patches from all over the country. The only rookie was Debra, but she had the right attitude.
The first day's ride was from the Chicago area to Springfield, Illinois, and it rained like a highway flagger's worst nightmare. The next day was to St. Louis, which was another pleasant but uneventful day of riding. We got into the city early enough to visit the arch and have lunch in the old town section. The next day was more pleasant riding to Oklahoma City. So far, we've been riding in the part of the country people chose to migrate from. This was the comfortably established, old and conquered part of the country. The West is where everyone was going to, and Oklahoma was the start of the adventure (Dust Bowl days not withstanding.)
The next day's destination was Amarillo, which was our trip's first real introduction to the West. This is what everyone had been waiting for, and it didn't disappoint anyone. The tour route follows the original Route 66 as much as possible, and 85 percent of the road still exists, even if it's covered by the Interstate or frontage roads. From Amarillo we were on I-40 for only a few miles, then headed northwest on Highway 104, a beautiful, empty, wide-open highway. We rode by the Conchas Dam, Trujillo, and into Las Vegas and New Mexico. From there we traveled through Pecos and into our night's destination at Santa Fe.
Santa Fe can be a lot of different places depending on what you bring to it. It can be a gorgeous creative enclave in high (nearly 7,000 feet elevation) New Mexico where the shopping is sublime and you have your choice of some great restaurants. Or, it can be an artsy fartsy gathering of unbearable snobs catering to other snotty platinum cardholders who sold out the town years ago. Take your pick.
At dinner that night, the Downunders were formally introduced to Mexican food and the jalapeño pepper. Kip from New Zealand ate the peppers like candy, while the other Aussies were leery of anything hinting of spice. The women were more gastronomically adventurous than the men, but we all enjoyed the meal.
By this time in the tour, day eight, everyone has bonded with each other. We know each others' bikes: Dolores has the sidecar, no mistaking that; Steve is on his own personal Fat Boy that he meticulously cleans every morning; Debra is on her dazzling personal Screamin' Eagle Road King that she got as an engagement gift from her fiancé; Norm and Kathleen are on their rental Heritage Softail; Kit and Kay are riding a rental Electra Glide Classic; and Dave and Clara are on their rented two-tone Road King. We know what each will probably buy at gas stops—Kathleen buys water, while the author drinks straight Coca-Cola Classic, and everybody notices it.
The portion of Route 66 from Santa Fe to Gallup is mostly two-lane. This trip is getting more authentic by the hour, which is to say it's getting hotter and dryer; the women apply lip grease at every stop and the men are shedding their jackets. At this point, the old and grizzled author is beginning to sound like the weary cowboy from a western movie who's trying to help out the city dudes new to the west.
Just like the movie cowboy, the author gives advice about coping with the western heat. "If the heat gets unbearable," he says, "go to the hose at a gas station and wet yourself down completely. Drench your shirt, pants, and boots. Then put your dry jacket on to keep in the moisture as best you can. The water evaporation will cool you off nicely and bring down your core temperature." Unfortunately, nobody wants to hear it, and they push on into the withering heat. The tour stays overnight at Gallup, then Chinle, then Flagstaff and Seligman.
Seligman, Arizona, is one of the treasures of modern-day Route 66, mainly because of one man, Angel Delgadillo. He has been instrumental in preserving the Route 66 culture in this little town, plus, being the local barber, he can still give you a straight-razor shave. Steve Daniels let Delgadillo scrape his neck with a straight razor after a hot-towel soak and carefully applied hot lather. It was one of the highlights of Daniels' tour.
Las Vegas to Barstow was hot as hell, nearly 115 degrees, and at the gas stop in Ludlow, Empress Debra was done in. She was flushed, weary and just about to pass out from the heat. She wanted to leave the bike here, have it shipped home, and ride the van the rest of the way. She said she would hate to not ride her bike the entire route, but she just couldn't hack it anymore. The grizzled old biker author took her over to the water hose and told her she had the choice of being a quitter or a winner, and this water was the difference. The Empress fumed that she didn't want to ruin her expensive and chic riding clothes by soaking them with desert water! Finally, she suffered the humiliation of drenching herself and her riding ensemble with brackish, hard water from a frayed and leaky garden hose. She squished back to her bike and rode off.
Two miles down the road she was all smiles and loving her life, and at the next gas stop she was giggly and amazed. "Do you know that I actually got the shivers from being so cool?" she gushed. "That was amazing, I never felt so refreshed in my life!" The grizzled old biker author just smiled a knowing smile, tipped his hat, and ambled away.
The next day the tour made a side trip to San Diego for a stay at the famous Coronado Hotel, and the day after that we rode to Santa Monica for the end-of-the-ride party.
We had come far, and it seemed far. Sixteen days on the road through drenching rain, distant tornados, and blistering heat. Along the ride, we all had bought black-and-white Route 66 flags, stickers, and patches. Now we could display them with pride.
We earned them.

A new armed boat will be patrolling the Port of Palm Beach and offshore.
The sheriff's office is getting a 30-foot boat with mounted machine guns for homeland-security patrols.
Mounted machine guns are a first for the sheriff's office.
A US Department of Homeland Security grant paid for the $160,000 cost of the boat and equipment. It's helping to finance security increases at several Florida ports.
The state is also adding a new boat of its own at the Port of Palm Beach as well as two boats each at Port Everglades and the Port of Miami.
Brett Norton of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission said machine guns are necessary when stopping suspicious ships entering Florida waters.
The sheriff's boat is expected to be delivered in February or March.

By LINDSAY OLIVIER
NORTH KINGSTOWN ŌĆō Just two weeks after the school committee voted down a request to the town council for submiting enabling legislation for a $6.5 million bond for the purpose of funding Capital Improvement projects, it was back on the agenda at Tuesday's school committee meeting and, this time, for reconsideration.
The original vote took place on Nov. 3, failing 3-2 with William Mudge, Melvoid Benson and Joe Thompson casting the dissenting votes. Committee members Larry Ceresi and Richard Welch were absent from that meeting.
ŌĆ£We voted on such a huge thing and we didn't have the entire committee here,ŌĆØ said member Lynda Avanzato.
After a lengthy discussion, which included the Rhode Island Department of Education (RIDE) officials, the vote was re-taken, this time passing 4-3 - with the same members casting the dissenting vote as they did in the first time.
The $6.4-million figure includes a new roof at Davisville Middle School at a cost of $5,211,041 and repairs at Fishing Cove, Hamilton, Quidnessett and Stony Lane Elementary Schools.
DMS is at the top of the list because the roof is at the end of its life cycle and needs to be replaced as soon as possible. In addition, a new elevator and chair lifts needs to be replaced, as well as a new boiler which is reported to be in bad condition. The scope of work at the other schools range from HVAC replacement and AmericanŌĆÖs with Disabilities Act repairs for accessibility.
ŌĆ£The projects listed within the bond go along with the basic education plan (BEP) which need to ensure the health and safety of our students,ŌĆØ said Carolyn Diaz from RIDE. ŌĆ£These projects have gone through a rigourous process and RIDE has vetted them. I urge you to reconsider this bond.ŌĆØ
The reason Benson voted against the bond both times is she feels many of the projects are cosmetics and the committee is being pressured.
All the projects were approved by RIDE Board of Regents on Nov. 3. Architect and engineer Edward Frenette from Symmes, Maini and McKee Associates of Providence compiled the scope of work for the projects and has cited the roof at DMS as an ŌĆ£immediate health and safety issueŌĆØ. Many of the projects in the schools have to deal with state building codes.
The description of work at DMS includes asbestos abatement, replacing the washable ceiling tiles in the kitchen and consumer science classrooms, these two projects are code violations.
The same ADA work needed at DMS needs to be done at Fishing Cove, Hamilton, Quidnessett and Stony Lane Elementaries. At Quidnessett and Stony Lane, the HVAC systems need replacement. The packaged rooftop unit serving the cafeteria is leaking, creating a hazardous situation.
The school district has an opportunity to take advantage of a 30 percent reimbursement from the state legislature via the RIDE's board of regents. The department has until May 2, 2012 to bring the bond to the voters, if not, they lose the reimbursement.
ŌĆ£You have to trust the process,ŌĆØ said Carolyn Diaz from RIDE. ŌĆ£If you don't proceede with this projects you're jeapordizing the health and safety of the children in those buildings.ŌĆØ
Superintendent Dr. Philip Auger expressed the urgency to get move forward with the projects.
ŌĆ£These are not luxury items. We are risking students' safecty.ŌĆØ
DMS principal Ruthann Logan told the committee that after rain storms large barrels are scattered throughout the school to catch leaks, tiles are falling down and teachers complain about a ŌĆ£dankŌĆØ smell. There's three areas of the school where a dehumidifer has to be ran year round to help with dampness.

SOUTH DENNIS — Annual town meeting will open at 7 p.m. today in the Nathaniel H. Wixon School on Route 134.
Among the articles are the $31 million operating budget, $2 million in capital projects and a proposal for a ballot question to withdraw from the Cape Cod Commission.
Officials predict a petition article to make four of the seven positions on the Finance Committee elected and the final three appointed will generate the liveliest debate of the night.
Currently the moderator appoints all seven members.
The petition was submitted by local businessman Eric Oman, who said in a recent interview that a committee that holds as much financial sway as the Finance Committee does should be selected by more than a single individual.
Also on the warrant is an article by selectmen to exempt municipal projects of $50,000 or less from the prevailing wage requirements. They say it will save the town considerable money.
The article to fund the regional school budget sets Dennis' contribution at $16 million, based on the state's Chapter 70 education law. If the voters approve the article, the $54 million regional school budget for next year will be $278,000 in the red.
Options would then be: the school committee cuts the budget; Yarmouth, Dennis, or both increase the town contributions; or the school committee calls a town meeting of both member communities to take a vote on the budget.
If that latter step is taken, both towns would have to live by the joint vote.

What: Preservation Hall Jazz Band
When: 7:30 p.m. Thursday
Where: Peace Center Concert Hall
Tickets: $15 to $35
Information: 864-467-3000 or www.peace
For the musicians of the legendary Preservation Hall Jazz Band, New Orleans jazz is more than just a style of music.
Its something sacred, and it runs in the blood.
Our musical traditions are passed down from generation to generation, said band leader Ben Jaffe. Its part of our identity and history, something we take very seriously in New Orleans.
The eight-piece Preservation Hall Jazz Band comes to Greenvilles Peace Center on Thursday.
The groups program will reach back to jazzs earliest roots and move forward to the groups most recent album, Thats It, featuring all new pieces.
Tickets start at $15.
Jaffe, who plays tuba and string bass in the group, speaks with missionary fervor about the bands goal of carrying on the tradition of New Orleans-style jazz.
Our role is to nourish and help protect the community that gave birth to one of our great American art forms, something that is truly American and that is jazz, Jaffe said, speaking by phone from New Orleans. When you live in the birthplace of jazz, its a huge responsibility. Jazz is much more than picking up an instrument and playing notes. Its a way of life, a community, years of tradition that we honor while contributing our own personal experience to those traditions.
Jaffes parents, Allan and Sandra Jaffe, created the famous New Orleans jazz venue Preservation Hall, which gives the band its name.
The Jaffes, devoted fans of jazz, were on their honeymoon visiting New Orleans in 1960 when they decided to establish Preservation Hall.
In the 1960s, many of the first-generation jazz musicians were still with us, Jaffe said.
With Preservation Hall as the gathering place, those early jazz musicians were able to inspire later generations, and the process of older musicians encouraging younger ones continues today.
New Orleans Preservation Hall, located in an unpainted structure built in 1750, features a famously spartan atmosphere: no air conditioning and no stage. The audience sits on hard wooden benches or on the floor.
The fact that we dont have air conditioning or modern amenities is part of the experience, Jaffe said. I dont think anyone would suggest that we air condition the pyramids or Notre Dame. We think of Preservation Hall like that as well and treat it as sacred ground.

SaaS is the Future
SaaS is no longer solely for the start-up software firm. Enterprise software developers have heard the call from their customers and seen the competition latch on to SaaS and are now offering mainstream applications. Software developers, big and small, face many demands and constraints placed upon them by the market. Their customers seek rigorous specifications. The application development process comes with a whole new group of constraints, and the competition is fierce and ever present.
Gary McAuliffe, in his article Excelling in the Evolution of Sass, points to the Managed Service Provider ("MSP") as the "great equalizer".
Managed Service Providers engineer infrastructure for reliability, resiliency, and security, in some cases offering 100% network uptimes.
McAuliffe lays out a detailed analysis of the value MSP's bring to the table. He describes how using an MSP can get your product to the global market faster. The other advantage is what McAuliffe labels "optimal user experience" (i.e. customer satisfaction). This customer satisfaction could potentially reap rewards downstream as opportunities for selling licenses present themselves.
The benefits are not solely for the external market. McAuliffe adroitly states:
Internally, partnering with a Managed Service Provider can provide software companies with a plethora of benefits. The capital expenditures to provide and maintain everything the business requires to launch and sustain itself from the application, developers, system administrators, to any commercial software required to run the application, along with a full infrastructure pose daunting barriers to overcome. A MSP will deliver those harsh capital expenditures over a more tolerable operational cost structure allowing software companies to reinvest their upfront capital into software where it is more beneficial in the overall well being of the firm.
If this has sparked your curiosity, then perhaps you might also be interested in Jeff Kaplan's article Top Ten Reasons Why On-Demand Services Will Soar in 2008. I'll whet your appetite and list out the ten reasons. You'll have to read his whole article to get the benefit of his wisdom and predictions.
The Top Ten Reasons are as follows:
1. Services are Recession Proof
2. Everyone's Going Virtual
3. Amazon, IBM and Google Bet on Utility Computing
4. Nick Carr Returns
5. SaaS Solves SOX
6. Managed Services 3.0, Unified Communications Services and Service Automation (Hint: The key for Kaplan is the "3.0" in the title)
7. Carriers and Channel Companies Find Success With New Services
8. Failure Doesn't Matter
9. IT Discovers Services are the Solution
10. Wall Street Buys Into Services

I find it hard to turn down an opportunity, even if I am pressed for time.
My friends find me fascinating, charming, and easy to talk to.
(But with so many competing interests, my friends do feel like I hardly have time for them.)

ENB Region 2 Completed Applications 01/18/2012
Multiple Counties
Texas Eastern Transmission Corp
5400 Westheimer Court
Houston, TX 77056 -5310
Texas Eastern Transmission Corp
Western Ave & Goethals
Staten Island, NY 10314
Application ID:
Permit(s) Applied for:
Article 17 Titles 7 & 8 Industrial SPDES - Surface Discharge
Article 24 Freshwater Wetlands
Section 401 - Clean Water Act Water Quality Certification
Article 25 Tidal Wetlands
Project is Located:
Staten Island, Multiple Counties
Project Description:
The project sponsor is proposing to undertake the NJ-NY Expansion Project, which includes 19.8 miles of multi-diameter natural gas pipeline in New Jersey, New York and Connecticut owned by Texas Eastern Transmission, LP and Algonquin Gas Transmission, LLC. In New York, the pipeline will enter Staten Island via horizontal direction drill (HDD) under the Arthur Kill. On Staten Island, the project will involve the abandonment of 1.2 miles of existing 12-inch diameter pipeline, removal and/or replacement of existing 12-inch diameter pipeline with approximately 1.4 miles of 42-inch diameter pipeline, the construction of 2.1 miles of new 30-inch diameter pipeline, and minor changes at the existing Texas Eastern Meter and Regulator Station 058. Approximately 1.6 miles of the pipeline on Staten Island will be installed via HDD. The remainder of the line will be installed via open trench and is primarily located within existing Texas Eastern right-of-way or within existing roadways. The pipeline will exit Staten Island via HDD and cross the Kill Van Kull into Bayonne, New Jersey. The 30-inch pipeline will reenter New York via HDD under the Hudson River from Jersey City, NJ to Manhattan, making landfall at the Gansevoort Peninsula. The project also involves the installation of a new meter and regulator station adjacent to the existing Algonquin meter and regulator station in Ramapo, NY. Within New York, the entire project will involve the temporary disturbance of approximately 10.5 acres of freshwater and tidal wetlands. The Department has approved the applicant's Wetland Restoration Plan for those wetland areas disturbed by project construction. The HDD in the Hudson River will require the excavation of approximately 100 cubic yards of sediment near landfall in New York. A turbidity curtain will be installed along the outer boundaries of the dredging footprint in New York City and the material will be excavated utilizing an environmental bucket. During construction on Staten Island and Manhattan the project sponsor will discharge treated wastewater as a result of trench dewatering at various rates and volumes. In addition, water used during pipeline hydrostatic testing will be discharged on Staten Island and at the Ramapo meter and regulator Station. Pursuant to Section 401 of the federal Clean Water Act, the Department has determined the project meets all New York State water quality standards. The Department has made a tentative determination to approve the applications. For the wastewater discharge portion of the project, the Department has prepared a draft State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (SPDES) permit. The overall project is subject to approval by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act (FERC Docket Nos. CP11-56-000 and PF10-17-000). FERC has issued a draft environmental impact statement (DEIS) pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act. The permit applications, draft SPDES permit, and FERC's DEIS for the project can be reviewed on the applicant's website at www.yesgaspipeline.org.
Availability of Application Documents:
Filed application documents, and Department draft permits where applicable, are available for inspection during normal business hours at the address of the contact person. To ensure timely service at the time of inspection, it is recommended that an appointment be made with the contact person.
State Environmental Quality Review (SEQR) Determination:
Project is not subject to SEQR because it is a Type II action.
SEQR Lead Agency: None Designated
State Historic Preservation Act (SHPA) Determination:
The proposed activity is not subject to review in accordance with SHPA. The permit type is exempt or the activity is being reviewed in accordance with federal historic preservation regulations.

|The persisting burden of visceral leishmaniasis in Iraq: data of the National Surveillance System, 1990-2009.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22475358 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|SUMMARYVisceral leishmaniasis (VL) is an endemic parasitic disease transmitted by the bite of sand flies. To describe trends and demographics of reported VL cases, we reviewed surveillance data from 1990-2009. Reported VL incidence per 100 000 population was 2·6 in 2007, 3·1 in 2008, and 4·8 in 2009, mostly in children aged <5 years. The number of cases varied greatly in step with prevailing economic and security conditions, raising concerns about the completeness and quality of surveillance data. Nevertheless, we conclude that VL remains an important endemic disease in Iraq and that surveillance system is recovering the capacity to detect cases as the country experiences greater stability. We recommend conducting formal entomological investigations, and evaluating existing control measures.

Humanitarian, actress, supermom. These are just some of the words that have been used to describe Angelina Jolie. Director can now be added to that list, as Ms. Jolie's debut, "In the Land of Blood and Honey" was released earlier this year. No matter what hat she is wearing though, you can be sure it will be one that is tres chic. Angelina has amazing taste not just in men (hello, Brad!) but in clothes, as well. She often opts for neutrals rarely wearing prints, and her style is refined, elegant and classic, evoking Parisienne chic even when she's walking through the streets of New York with one (or two or five) of her children by her side.
Angelina Jolie's Style Deconstructed
Neutrals – Perhaps it's because of her breathtaking beauty that Angelina sticks to a mostly neutral color palette. She consistently wears blacks and creams with a little gray or brown thrown in for good measure. Wearing neutrals is a great way to show off other attributes like your hair, eyes or your smile. In Angie's case, we guess that'd be all of the above!

New Haven, Connecticut -- Parents beware! A new study finds that many fast food kids' meals are anything but healthy.
And researchers from Yale University say fast food restaurants are aggressively marketing those unhealthy meals directly to children.
According to the Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity at Yale, the average preschooler sees 21% more fast food ads than children in 2003.
And at those restaurants, researchers say only 12 of the 3000 possible kids' meal combinations met nutritional guidelines for preschoolers.
The worst offender, according to Yale researchers, was KFC's popcorn chicken kids meal. It is served with a biscuit, soda and a side of string cheese. The entire meal has 840 calories and more than 1600 mg sodium.
A better choide is Subway's Veggie Delite meal--a sandwich with apple slices and juice. It had only 285 calories and 295 mg sodium.
Click here to see a list of what the Center for Food Policy and Obesity considers the best and worst kids' meals.

|Transforming growth factor beta signalling and matrix metalloproteinases in the mucosa overlying Crohn's disease strictures.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 19201776 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|BACKGROUND AND AIMS: In addition to its crucial role in dampening tissue-damaging immune responses in the gut, transforming growth factor beta (TGFbeta) is a potent profibrogenic agent inducing collagen synthesis and regulating the balance between matrix-degrading matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their inhibitors (TIMPs). TGFbeta signalling was investigated by analysis of Smad proteins and MMPs/TIMPs in the mucosa overlying strictures in patients with Crohn's disease (CD). METHODS: Specimens were collected from macroscopically normal mucosa overlying strictured and non-strictured gut of patients with fibrostenosing CD. Isolated myofibroblasts were cultured with anti-TGFbeta blocking antibody or TGF beta 1. TGFbeta transcripts were analysed by quantitative reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR). Smad proteins and MMPs were determined by immunoblotting. MMP-12 activity was measured by a real-time MMP-12 activity assay. An in vitro wound-healing scratch assay was used to assess myofibroblast migration. RESULTS: TGFbeta transcripts, phosphorylated Smad2-Smad3 (pSmad2-3) and TIMP-1 proteins were higher in mucosa overlying strictures than in mucosa overlying non-strictured areas. In contrast, mucosa overlying strictured gut had lower expression of Smad7, MMP-12 and MMP-3. Myofibroblasts from mucosa overlying strictured gut showed higher TGFbeta transcripts, a greater pSmad2-3 response to TGFbeta, increased TIMP-1, lower Smad7, increased collagen production and reduced migration ability compared with myofibroblasts from mucosa overlying non-strictured gut. TGFbeta blockade increased myofibroblast MMP-12 production and migration, more obviously in myofibroblasts isolated from mucosa overlying non-strictured compared with strictured gut. CONCLUSIONS: Changes in TGF-beta signalling and MMP production were identified in the mucosa overlying strictures in CD which may give a window into the process of fibrosis.

"A Thanksgiving Day turkey dinner with side dishes and dessert will be 11% more expensive this year, the biggest annual increase since 1990, because of depleted frozen-turkey supplies and rising energy prices.
The average cost of 12 items typically served during the Nov. 22 holiday in the U.S. rose to $42.26 from $38.10 last year, the American Farm Bureau Federation said Thursday."
Farm Bureau Federation
Here's the kicker: "Adjusted for inflation, the cost is $20.46, about 9% less than in the first survey in 1986."
Why do I suspect no one really believes that?

Well, the drop in corn lately won't help you this year. That gobbler you're eating today gobbled up older higher priced corn:
Anyone got a Green Peas ETF they want to recommend?
They're missing the whole ethanol subsidy angle! The primary reason there are fewer turkeys is that the increased subsidies for ethanol production are distorting the entire agricultural market:
1. Farmers are selling massive amounts of corn to the ethanol producers, making less of it available to feed turkeys.
2. Farmers are planting more corn to meet the ethanol producers increased demand for it, at the expense of other crops like soybeans, which means that less of those crops are available to feed turkeys.
3. Less food available to feed turkeys = fewer turkeys. The price of turkeys goes up (or for that matter, everything touched by a decision of farmers to plant corn instead of what they had been planting – a good example is beer, where farmers aren't planting hops in favor of planting corn, which is resulting in making beer more expensive!)
Supply or Demand: What's Driving the Price?
your math is all wrong. you aren't using the govt method of measuring inflation. If you take turkey, pumpkin pie and milk. There is no increase and everything is good.
Every year, the local Grocery gives away a turkey to its frequent customers.
My dad shops there and I have not had to buy a turkey in the last 10 years.
Current Thanksgiving Dinner is the Free Turkey, a can of Sam's Choice Baked Beans and Baked Potatoes.
Total cost about $2.50
This year I drove my hedonically adjusted auto and found a turkey substitution in the form of "road kill" racoon, which if baked long enough tastes….really….bad.
Regardless of the cost, enjoy Thanksgiving Day and the meal you have. Afterall, next year it'll be more expensive.
Winston, please!
Hedonically speaking, I only eat free range road kill. If it is still twiching, I assume it is fresh. And remember, morning road kill is the most important road kill of the day!
Anyone noticed that Tarzhey opened at 7AM today? Koals opens at 4AM tomorrow.
Food fight.
I consulted my Quicken database and calculated that our year-over-year (Dec05-Nov06 compared with Dec06-Nov07) change in home food expense was +13.7%.
And since food is about 9% of our total household expense, this increase alone adds about 1.2% to our overall expense line. Then we deal with the remaining 91%.
My wife and I are active retireds and agree that we haven't changed our eating habits any.
But we're quite grateful we have the wherewithal to endure the cost, just count our blessings, and enjoy the day.
I'll just discuss one item.
You can't buy a gallon of milk down this way for $3.88 at one of the grocery stores. Try $4.25 as of two days ago, and Mayfield's gallon is still going for $5.98. Now, Sam's and WalMart are a different story, but that's 62 miles down toward the Big A.
PS: You left off the ice cream. I mean, really…
Of course the 'core' turkey dinner, net of food and energy costs, is no more expensive than it ever has been…
Perhaps we should collaborate on a book: The Road Kill Substitution Cookbook.

Rina Thaler, executive director of the Art League of Ocean City, shows off one of the artists' studios for rent in the new Ocean City Center for the Arts on 94th Street.
- Filed Under
In 1963, the old city building at the corner of Third Street and Baltimore Avenue was vacant.
The Ocean City Elementary School had just moved out, and City Hall had yet to move in. The city allowed civic groups to use the building, and for a time, it became the headquarters for the new Art League of Ocean City.
Fifty years later and 91 streets north, the Art League is on the verge of opening an impressive new space, the Ocean City Center for the Arts. Located on 94th Street with an unobstructed view of the bay and the marsh, the 7,500-square-foot arts center is a long way from the small space the Art League ...

Despite a transport vehicle accident that sent murder suspect Marshall Jackson to the hospital Thursday morning, a judge said the defendant must be in court for his trial next week even if it means arriving in a wheelchair.
Despite a transport vehicle accident that sent murder suspect Marshall Jackson to the hospital Thursday morning, a judge said the defendant must be in court for his trial next week even if it means arriving in a wheelchair.
Jackson, 30, was supposed to appear in Oneida County Court Thursday for last-minute preparations before trial, but the defendant never made it because the county sheriff's transport van he was riding in was rear-ended by another vehicle.
Jackson was among the three inmates taken to St. Elizabeth Medical Center to be treated for neck, knee and back injuries, along with two sheriff's correction officers, officials said. The van also was carrying 10 jail inmates.
The accident occurred at the corner of Genesee and Elizabeth streets in downtown Utica around 9 a.m., right as Jackson's defense attorney, Rebecca Wittman, and the prosecutor, Assistant District Attorney Joseph Saba, waited in court for the defendant to show up.
When Judge Michael L. Dwyer got word that Jackson was hospitalized and would not be in court, Dwyer rescheduled the pretrial discussions for Friday or Monday morning.
"Just make sure there are no serious injuries that will delay us," Dwyer told Wittman, who expects to meet with Jackson this weekend.
Jackson is charged with second-degree murder in connection to the shooting death of 24-year-old Anthony Garner following a May 25 confrontation on James Street. Jury selection is set to begin Monday.
By 2 p.m. Thursday, Jackson and the two other injured inmates – Jamie Lotoski and Thomas Ackerman – had been released from the hospital and returned to the county jail, where they were being monitored in the infirmary, officials said.
Thomas Trace, 42, of Marcy, was driving a 2005 Toyota south on Genesee Street when he rear-ended the county corrections van, deputies said. Trace was not injured and was ticketed for following too closely, deputies said.
The driver of the van, Deputy Robert Wright, was taken to St. Elizabeth with neck injuries, while his partner, Deputy Rodrick Pelton, went to the hospital for evaluation. Both officers were released.
Although Wittman doesn't believe Jackson's injuries are serious, she said the incident might pose an unexpected setback in her preparation plans on the eve of trial.
"It's a little unfortunate that when we're supposed to be in there discussing last-minute issues as far as the trial, he's at the hospital instead and we're doing none of the above," Wittman said. "I just don't know what the impact might be as far as if he can appear in court on Monday."
Wittman also questions whether the accident might have aggravated Jackson's post-traumatic stress disorder, which stems from his combat experience in Iraq and Afghanistan. Although police have not yet offered a motive for the James Street shooting, the defense could raise Jackson's PTSD as a factor that could have triggered the violent gunfire.
Page 2 of 2 - Inmates are transported from the jail to court every day, so a couple of accidents a year is not uncommon, Oneida County Sheriff Robert Maciol said.
