I was cleaning out some recipes a few weeks ago, looking for one in particular. I never found what I was looking for, but I did find a brunch menu with a recipe for Poached Eggs and Creamed Spinach. The recipe called for packaged creamed spinach, which I haven't seen in grocery stores around here, but I always have frozen chopped spinach on hand, so I decided to improvise. It turned out really good! If you love Eggs Benedict but want something healthier, this is it.
Poached Eggs and Creamed Spinach
8 oz. frozen, chopped spinach, thawed and rung
1 tbsp. butter
1/3 heavy cream OR half and half
1/3 c. milk
salt and pepper to taste
4 eggs
4 English muffins OR pieces of toast
4 tomato slices
Place spinach, butter, milk and cream in a shallow pan. Heat until boiling, stir, then crack eggs over the mixture. Cover pan and cook for about 5 minutes, until the eggs have set. Meanwhile, prepare toast or English muffins. When eggs are done, top each piece of toast or English muffin with an egg and the surrounding spinach mixture. Top egg with a tomato slice. Can be served with blueberries and cantaloupe.
I finally visited Pinch My Salt, a blog my friend Emily reads. She had some timely pumpkin recipes, including this one, that I wanted to try. It is more labor intensive than I normally like my baking expeditions to be, but it turned out so good! I served it as part of a special Halloween meal for Little G: Jack-o-Lantern Burgers (cheeseburger with faces cut out of the cheddar cheese), Broccoli Boo Salad (just regular broccoli salad with the bacon and craisins, just add mandarin oranges), and Gummi Worm Punch ( orange sherbet, pineapple juice, and 7-up). It made far more than the 2 dozen cupcakes it was supposed to, so I gave some away and we are still eating them for snacks around here!

Unfortuneately, my major problems with printing content made in Flash (oppose to Illustrator!) is still troubling me. I end up having to export as .png
Call me crazy and totally unprofessional, but i still would take flash over illustrator as my vector tool of choice for print any day! I can just make cooler stuff in flash. Someone please agree with me.....
You can export either a frame to an eps or the movie to eps sequences. You can open these in freehand. Freehand will allow you to create excellent vector images. You can also do a lot of flash work from freehand. If you like Flash for creating vector art definetly check out Freehand.
<whispers quietly>I think mivox uses Freehand instead of Illustrator.</whispers quietly>
I think if you can get away with Fireworks and you don't have Freehand go for it. If you have Freehand you will find that it will be able to create more complex art than Fireworks can.

All very well when everyone is Broadband connected!
I know how you feel. But not all Flash files are fat! Flash can be used tastefully and the files can be as small as 6kb - same as a small jpg. Of course - it takes talent to get them that small. ;)
All very well when everyone is Broadband connected!
Are you all forgeting that flash is streaming media!
No matter how fat the swf file is, if optimized correctly, a person on 14.4 modem would not have any problem viewing it!
To avoid useing preloaders, the front end of your flash file should be very light weighted and only use vector graphics. This way the heavyer stuff can load while the veiwer is occupied by what is on the screen now.
e.g. A very short intro works well for this with a small amount of animation.
Of course - it takes talent to get them that small.
How very true!

Are you all forgeting that flash is streaming media!
Well it is and it isn't. That being said, Flash is meant to be streamed just but not everyone supports or optimizes their files/server to accomplish this. Unfortunately, there are far too many instances of Flash files that must download 100+kb before they will begin to play. Tis a combination of poor planning and execution.

If you use flash for this, Please stop! [webmasterworld.com]
i personally use flash for multimedia purposes, when a client asks me for an animated presentation of the company or their products, i use flash and it's great, because you can do a .swf with full screen and put an autorun file in your cd, and it will start the presentation. a flash inside a cd it's really awesome, and A LOT of people will like that flash presentations.
i only use flash online for a couple of buttons or navigation bars, (although someone just recently told me it was not a good idea to do nav bars and buttons with flash, because a user without flash in his browser wouldn't be able to go around in the site. any opinions about this?)
recently i lost in a web site contest organized by apple computer mexico. (no one has uploaded the sites yet, but you can see my name here as a finalist, i'm the fourth) i did a nice web site with many things; i just used flash for effects, the main nav bar, for a map showing the location of a place, and for an interactive art gallery. and i was very disappointed when i saw i've lost because of an all-done-flash website, i couldn't belive it, because imho, i think flash is great as a side tool, but not as an all-around tool to make all your site just using flash, i mean, you can do it, but it is not ok, right? or am i the only one who thinks this way?

I first installed BWPS on new site (with about 6 plugins) and all good untill I selected the ssl for the admin - which I now know I haven't got! - and have eventually managed to delete BWPS file in my cPanel, edit the .htaccess and wp-config files to get me back in...
BUT now when I re-install BWPS, it's not a clean install as there must be some residual code left in from before, then main problem seems to be the change of my user ID from #1 to #2 - and now I can't access any pages etc in my admin, or see any private pages (ones I'm developing for a new site), only public ones.
I've tried changing the ID back to #1 in my php admin (thought didn't select the MD5 option as don't really understand this), but that shut me out of everything!
Please can anyone tell me how to safely change back to udes id #1 - or how to undo what the BWPS did for this???

Yeah, I entered the Paper Mario Diorama contest. If you don't know, Nintendo is holding (or held) a Paper Mario Diorama contest in honor of Paper Mario Sticker Star. I don't truly intend on winning, but that'd be awesome!
Totally legit man, i love it
Thats really cool. How big is it? I did one something like that once but with Mega Man. It was so long ago and I either lost it or it got destroyed
It's the size of your average shoe-box.
And this one got destroyed, too.
It just fell apart after a few weeks.
And this one got destroyed, too.

Joyce Studies Annual
Volume 2009
pp. 1-33
In a sense, the beginning of Stephen's day—as we track it through breakfast at the Tower, teaching a class at the Dalkey school, a walk on Sandy-mount strand, delivery of Deasy's letter to Myles Crawford followed by two pub sessions, both at establishments called "Mooney's"—can be considered as "preparatory to anything else" (U 16.1). "[A]nything else" includes the events at the National Library of Ireland that unfold in the episode we call "Scylla and Charybdis" and that arguably constitutes one of the climaxes in the story of Stephen's day in Ulysses. What, precisely, is a "climax" in narratological terms? Marie-Laure Ryan offers one of the more intriguing discussions of this question in the provocative context of "story generation"—that is, the creation of models of story telling that might effectively be deployed in artificial intelligence computer program design.1 Instead of a simple definition, Ryan offers a series of characteristics of the narrative climax, the most interesting of which she calls "functional polyvalence." "The events with the greatest number of functions are likely to form the highlights of the plot," she writes (249). These include the solution of a problem, the source of a problem, an infraction worthy of punishment, as well as merit and reward and the possibility of offense and revenge. There is no question that Stephen Dedalus has a problem on June 16, 1904—indeed, a number of problems. After his decision of the morning not to return to the Tower, he is homeless. He remains in guilt-ridden mourning a year after his mother's death. He chafes under the patronage of his friend Buck Mulligan to the point where he appears ready to provoke a break in their friendship. He has no effective outlet for his creativity and talent and no viable prospect of transforming his art into a career. And he appears to be earning himself a reputation as a wastrel and a prankster—a reputation he can afford far less than can the more financially and socially secure Mulligan. His decision not to meet Mulligan and Haines at the Ship does nothing to solve his problems and, indeed, may only aggravate them. But when we meet Stephen in discussion with the librarians at the beginning of "Scylla and Charybdis" we see him actively working to achieve a solution to at least some of his problems. The stakes of his maneuver are high because his discourse is designed to display his intellectual and critical merit and earn him the reward of admiration and support from a group of well-respected Irish editors, authors, and intellectuals. His maneuver also carries a high risk because if he fails, he will have lost his best opportunity to make his mark in Irish literary and cultural circles and may instead stimulate disapproval and possible censure.
But "Scylla and Charybdis" might also be regarded as a high-risk extra-textual maneuver for Joyce himself. The contemporary 1922 reader of Ulysses familiar with Irish literary and cultural history might have been startled to find that characters in the episode included quite well-known living Irish literati. Twenty-first-century virgin readers will have to consult Gifford and Seidman's "Ulysses" Annotated to learn that the four men who engage with Stephen Dedalus's Shakespeare lecture were all historical figures with impressive credentials.2 Thomas William Lyster (1855–1922) edited a series of volumes called English Poems for Young Students and translated Henry Dunster's Life of Goethe in 1883. Although he is called "the quaker librarian" in the episode, Lyster may actually have been a member of the Anglican Church of Ireland.3 But he was a librarian at the National Library of Ireland in 1904. John Eglinton was the pseudonym for William Kirkpatrick Magee (1868–1961), a highly regarded essayist whose pre-1904 work included the Introduction to the 1899 volume Literary Ideals in Ireland, which featured essays by W. B. Yeats, AE, and Magee himself. In 1904 he worked as assistant librarian at the National Library of Ireland as well as an editor of Dana, which billed itself as the "magazine of independent thought." Richard Irvine Best (1872...

Ok, so it's not literally whale soup out here, but Monterey Bay has been full of humpback whales for the past few weeks. Casey Clark, a graduate student at Moss Landing Marine Labs, has been taking advantage of this opportunity to investigate migrations and feeding behavior humpback whales in this region. Each whale's tail (known as a fluke) has a unique pattern of black and white markings and scars, which can be used to identify individual whales, much like fingerprints are used to identify humans. As part of his research, Casey has been photographing the flukes of whales encountered in the bay and referencing them to a catalog to determine when and where they have been seen in the past. Spring and summer are great times to see humpback and blue whales in Monterey bay, so keep your eyes out for a glimpse of these huge marine mammals!

Moss Landing Scientists Contribute Four New Shark SpeciesFebruary 28, 2012
by Angela Szesciorka, Vertebrate Ecology Lab
One hundred and forty two new species were discovered last year. Four of those were deep-sea shark species discovered by Moss Landing Marine Laboratories' Dr. David Ebert and his colleagues. Their findings, as well as some interesting facts about the sharks, were featured in National Geographic among the new species found in 2011.
The previously unknown shark species they described included Pristiophorus nancyae, Etmopterus joungi, Etmopterus sculptus, and Squatina caillieti (does that last one sound familiar?).
Pristiophorus nancyae was named by Ebert and Dr. Gregor Cailliet after it was accidentally captured in a 490-meter trawl off Mozambique. This species, also called the African dwarf sawshark, is the seventh species of known sawshark. Like all sawsharks, P. nancyae has an elongated beak (rostrum) like a sword. It will swim with schools of fish, sideswipe prey with its rostrum, then snatch them up. P. nancyae was named for Nancy Packard Burnett because of her support for chondrichthyan (sharks and rays) research at the Pacific Shark Research Center at Moss Landing Marine Labs.
Stillwater Cove Thesis Work – algae braceletsJune 19, 2011
Stillwater Cove is one of the best studied kelp beds in the world. Moss Landing Marine Lab's very own Mike Fox is studying giant kelp growth in Stillwater. The R/V John Martin took a group out to tag giant kelp in order to more easily locate them when they go reproductive. Large blades called sporophylls cover the holdfast and make it difficult to see the tags, so we attached white lines to a nearby winged kelp algae.
A Rhodolith Thesis Defense: Thursday May 19thMay 15, 2011
Congratulations to Phycology Lab student Paul Tompkins, who will be defending his thesis this Tursday, May 19th, at noon. Paul's thesis is entitled "Distribution, Growth, and Disturbance of Catalina Island Rhodoliths." What's a rhodolith, you ask? If you can't come hear the scoop on Thursday, check out these photos belows, or browse around the Drop-In:
Unlike most seaweeds, rhodoliths are algae that have a hard skeleton made out of calcium carbonate. The structure of a rhodolith bed creates a habitat for many types of organisms, like a mini coral reef or kelp forest. Beds like the one shown below were the subject of Paul's thesis.
My, What Big Teeth You HaveFebruary 16, 2011
While fishing over the rocky reefs of San Jose del Cabo in Baja California, Ichthyology lab student Clinton Moran caught himself a 45-pound Pacific dog snapper (Lutjanus novemfasciatus). Clinton studies the mechanics of how fish feed – being the studious researcher that he is, he decided to clean and reassemble the head bones of his catch to display the fish's wicked chompers. It's easy to see where the common name comes from with those teeth that look positively canine. Check out some more fish bone displays from Clinton and other Ichthyology students.

A Method to Algae Madness… How to Measure Miniscule GrowthDecember 1, 2010
by Jasmine Ruvalcaba, Phycology Lab
edited by Brynn Hooton
We've all heard the giant kelp Macrocystis can grow up to one meter per day. So, how do phycologists, people who study seaweeds, measure growth of different species of algae? With most, you can use a ruler of some sort. For instance, Dr. Graham, advisor of the phycology lab, has a National Science Foundation grant going right now to look at effects of climate change on intertidal and subtidal species. One factor he looks as is algal growth. To do so, we punch holes in the vegetative blade with a regular, run of the mill one-hole puncher near the base of the seaweed, and then each month go back to the same plants, and punch a new hole. We measure from the base of the blade to new the punch, from the new punch to the old punch, and the old punch to the tip of the blade. Wow, sounds like a lot to do underwater, right? Practice makes perfect.
That method is great for species that are fleshy and can grow centimeters per day, but how do you measure growth with calcified species, that grow very slowly? That's what Paul Tompkins and I, Jasmine Ruvalcaba, are doing as a part of our thesis research. Paul studies rhodoliths, which are calcified red algae that form "beds" over soft sediments all over the world. I am studying their relatives, the articulated species. In a nut-shell, we soak our plants in stains anywhere from 5 minutes to days, depending on what type of stain we're using, and let the stain mark the alga's outer cell walls. After the plant is stained, we then put it back in clean seawater and let it grow. Any new parts of the plant that have grown after we took the plant out of the stain should be visible, and we know how long it's taken to make this new growth. So, here is what we see…..
Keep in touch to read about my future adventures with coralline algae!

President Bush will interrupt his vacation in Crawford, Texas, next week to hold a brainstorm session with his economic team about how to create jobs. Some Commerce officials have floated the idea of creating a new position of "manufacturing czar," while others are proposing a number of tax credit schemes to encourage companies to hire more workers. Newt Gingrich, sounding like John Maynard Keynes, suggests increased spending on roads and military contracts. All of these suggestions, though well intended, are profoundly misguided and not only would not help in the short-run, they would be counterproductive and economically harmful in the long-run.
This is no time to panic, but it is a time for action, and it is a time to avoid mistakes that would undo the economic progress already made. Gimmicks like "manufacturing czars" only invite the mischief of bureaucratic overreach into the economy. New tax credits simply distort market signals and further pollute a fetid tax code. Public-works spending projects on roads and corporate welfare for the military-industrial complex are a throwback to an earlier time of panic when we didn't know better and our fear of fear became palpable in outlandish government interventions and spending programs.
If I were in Crawford, I would encourage the president to adopt a four-pronged strategy for economic growth heading into the election year: 1) Rescind the steel tariffs and other harmful trade restrictions such as the ones on soft timber from Canada, which would increase manufacturing jobs as well as reduce costs for businesses and consumers. 2) Reduce agricultural subsidies. While it may not be politically possible to eliminate all agriculture subsidies, 80 percent of which go to large corporate farms, they should be sharply reduced to help our current budget situation, reduce prices for consumers and give developing countries a fighting chance to enter the global economy. 3) Urge Congress to allow businesses to deduct 100 percent of their investments in plants and equipment for the next three years, which would reinvigorate capital formation and business expansion. 4) Put at the top of the administration's agenda National Enterprise Zones of Choice, which would demonstrate the economic power and efficacy of getting the tax code right in economically depressed urban and rural districts, including U.S. territories, as well as areas in adversely affected by free-trade initiatives.

House Speaker DeLeo Defends $20 Million House Restoration Project
Massachusetts House Speaker Robert DeLeo is defending a proposal that would spend $20 million on renovations for the House chamber, The Boston Globe reports.
But according to the report, no expert analysis was factored in when coming up with the price tag attached to the project.
Advertisement - Continue Reading Below
DeLeo said the House did not conduct an architectural analysis before coming up with the same price — $20 million — for the repairs to its chamber.
"We had a group of folks from the House who made an estimate; that doesn't mean we have to spend the $20 million," he said. "I don't know that we've come up with a finite amount of money that it will actually cost."

INA, Ill. (Aug. 14, 2014) – The Rend Lake College Baseball team is full of new faces this fall, including former-professional baseball player Curt Courtwright of Lincoln, Ill. Courtwright is joining the Warriors team as an Assistant Coach to Head Coach Tony Etnier.
Courtwright started his collegiate baseball career at Missouri State University in 2006 when he played shortstop and outfield for the MSU Bears, positions he filled for four seasons. While attending MSU, Courtwright completed a Bachelor's Degree in Public Relations with a minor in Business.
In 2010, Courtwright got his chance at professional baseball, playing shortstop for the Gateway Grizzlies in Sauget. After a year with the Grizzlies, Courtwright has spent the last three years as the Head Varsity Coach at Lincoln Community High School in Lincoln, where he was in charge of coaching both the varsity and junior varsity teams. He also worked as a White Sox and Elite Baseball Training Instructor in Chicago.
"I learned a lot playing professional baseball and in Division I in college. It was about learning what it takes to play at those levels, and I think I have the knowledge to share that with other kids to help them get as far or beyond where I was," said Courtwright. "I coached in North Carolina this summer for the Morehead City Marlins and I decided that I wanted to get into coaching college ball. I sent out my résumé and found that the job at Rend Lake was open, and I knew it would be a great fit for me."
In the last few months coaching the Marlins, Courtwright focused his efforts as the hitting and infield coach, skills that he's combining with previous work as a camp and summer program coach to bring to the Warriors.
"I've been coaching for a while now, and I love to do it. Baseball has, pretty much, been my life and I'm excited to get started this fall," said Courtwright.
Head Coach Tony Etnier added, "We're excited to have someone with Curt's background on our coaching staff. His previous experience will definitely bring a lot to the table and I'm looking forward to getting started."
The Warriors kick off their fall season with an alumni game on Sunday, Aug 31, followed by their first home game against Southeastern on Sept. 4. For all things athletic at The Lake, visit www.rlc.edu/warriors.

We track four people on their journey.
We speak to Israeli Deputy FM Tzipi Hotovely
30 Mar 2012 19:01 GMT | Politics, Middle East, Israel
Israeli troops have shot dead a Palestinian man in northern Gaza after a day of protest which saw thousands of people rallying to mark Land Day, a medical spokesman said.
Israeli security forces also fired rubber coated bullets, tear gas and stun grenades to break up groups of Palestinian demonstrators in the occupied West Bank on Friday.
At least 121 people were injured in clashes at the Qalandiya checkpoint on the outskirts of Jerusalem, mostly from tear gas inhalation, medical sources told Al Jazeera.
Palestinian activists had called for a "Global March to Jerusalem" to mark the day when Palestinian Israelis protest against government policies that they say has stripped them of land.
Five medical workers were also reported to have been shot with rubber coated bullets and one car was set ablaze.
Al Jazeera's Cal Perry reported that Israeli security forces tried to push hundreds of protesters back toward the nearby West Bank town of Ramallah, using water cannon and tear gas.
Rocks were thrown, tyres set alight and Red Crescent ambulances could be seen at the scene.
"This is a place where we frequently see clashes, and what we're seeing here is the Israeli army needing to put a barrier up and not let people through," our correspondent said.
"These clashes seem to be a bit more fierce today, and have started earlier in the day than usual."
Access limited
Medics in the Gaza Strip said Israeli security forces also used live fire to prevent protesters from nearing the frontier wall.
Mahmud Zakut, 20, was killed in Beit Hanun in an area near the border fence with Israel, emergency services spokesman Adham Abu Selmiya said in a statement sent to AFP news agency.
Israeli forces were put on high alert at frontier crossings with Lebanon and Syria, but there were no reports of anyone nearing the border fences, unlike last year when several demonstrators were killed in separate protests.
However, violence flared at checkpoints in the West Bank to the north and south of Jerusalem.
Witnesses also reported disturbances at gates leading into the Old City, with police limiting access to the Muslims' revered al-Aqsa Mosque.
A Reuters news agency reporter saw two men being carried away injured after scuffles at Jerusalem's Lions' Gate, while police said they had made five arrests at the Damascus Gate.
Jerusalem is a focal point of conflict, as Palestinians want the city's eastern sector, captured by Israel in a 1967 war, as capital of a future state.
Israel has annexed East Jerusalem as part of its capital and insists the city remain united.
Six UN Security Council resolutions have denounced or declared invalid Israel's control of the city.
"We are determined to march together toward Jerusalem, and hopefully we will break through and reach it," said a masked youth, calling himself Rimawi, as he faced off against soldiers in Ramallah.
Flag-waving crowds neared the Qalandiya crossing out of Ramallah, some of them hurling stones at the security forces, but were forced back when border police sprayed them with foul smelling liquid from a water cannon. There were also confrontations in Bethlehem, where Palestinians hurled petrol bombs at an Israeli watchtower.
Other events were held in the northern West Bank city of Nablus, were at least three people were wounded in clashes with the Israeli border police, medical sources told Al Jazeera.
Border fears
Land Day commemorates the killing by security forces of six Arabs in 1976 during protests against government plans to confiscate land in northern Israel's Galilee region.
Previous remembrances have mostly passed quietly, but Israel decided to reinforce its defences following deadly clashes along the Lebanese and Syrian borders in May that appeared to catch the military off guard.
Palestinian organisers called for peaceful rallies against "the policies and practices of the racist Zionist state" and said solidarity protests were planned in some 80 nations.
"When crowds from 80 countries move towards Jerusalem, they send a strong message to the Israeli occupation that no one can accept what they are doing in Jerusalem," Ismail Haniyeh, the Gaza leader of the Islamic group Hamas, said.
Israel is wary of growing unrest in the occupied Palestinian Territories, with peace talks stalled for months and Palestinian leaders refusing to return to the negotiating table until Israel halts all Jewish settlement building in the West Bank.
Leading Palestinian activist Marwan Barghouti, serving multiple life sentences in an Israeli jail for orchestrating suicide attacks, called on Monday for a new wave of civil resistance in the decades-long quest for statehood. On high alert along its borders, police were also wary of possible friction within the boundaries of Israel, where the Arab minority was planning protests.
Arabs make up about a fifth of Israel's total population. Many complain of discrimination.

[Show abstract]
[Hide abstract]
La nécessaire adaptation des stratégies et des politiques sanitaires en réponse au changement climatique s'inscrit dans un contexte plus large de mutations globales concernant la demande croissante en produits d'origine animale, la globalisation de leurs échanges et l' impact des multiples déterminants environnementaux, socio-économiques et climatiques sur la santé humaine et la santé animale. Ces éléments de contexte amplifient les risques d' émergence, de diffusion et de maintien de maladies parasitaires et infectieuses animales et zoonotiques. C'est pourquoi, au travers de mesures d'adaptation, il convient d'accroître la résilience des secteurs de l'élevage et de la santé et de réduire la vulnérabilité des territoires face aux maladies climato-sensibles. Cette adaptation passe par la classification de l'importance des maladies, par l'évaluation des risques, puis par la réduction des risques (surveillance, prévention et contrôle), en s'appuyant sur une législation ad hoc basée sur le concept « Une seule santé » (One Health).

In developing countries, smallholder poultry production contributes to food security and poverty alleviation in rural areas. However, traditional poultry marketing chains have been threatened by the epidemics caused by the Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (H5N1) virus. The article presents a value chain analysis conducted on the traditional poultry marketing chain in the rural province of Phitsanulok, Thailand. The analysis is based on quantitative data collected on 470 backyard chicken farms, and on qualitative data collected on 28 poultry collectors, slaughterhouses and market retailers, using semi-structured interviews. The article examines the organization of poultry marketing chains in time and space, and shows how this may contribute to the spread of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza H5N1 in the small-scale poultry sector. The article also discusses the practices and strategies developed by value chain actors facing poultry mortality, with their economic and social determinants. More broadly, this study also illustrates how value chain analysis can contribute to a better understanding of the complex mechanisms associated with the spread of epidemics in rural communities.

Economic impact of RVF outbreaks

[Show abstract]
[Hide abstract]
Dwarfing the direct losses due to ruminant abortions and flock mortality, the main economic impact of RVF is systemic and ensues from the trade restrictions aimed at its containment. Indeed, past outbreaks of RVF in East Africa and Middle East came as disturbing events in a commercial context of high specialization in trade of small ruminants and interdependence between East-African exporters and the Middle-Eastern importing countries. The two successive bans imposed by Middle-Eastern countries on livestock products coming from the Horn of Africa in 1998-1999 and 2000-2002 highlighted this interdependence. Both bans caused an abrupt stop in exportations from IGAD countries. Nevertheless, the impact of the outbreaks motivating these bans differed due to their unique timing with regard to the Muslim celebrations that trigger the main flow of livestock from the Horn of Africa to Mecca. Hence, in 2000, the worst impact was observed on pastoralist households because the ban was imposed in September, prior to the Haj festival, when the main seasonal export flow had not been realized yet. Regarding the 1997 outbreak, the ban was implemented only in February 1998, after the main trade flow had occurred. The impacts of the bans on Somalia were particularly severe, due to the high specialization of the concerned region in an export-oriented livestock sector, benefitting from a niche market organized around the above-mentioned religious festivals and Arab consumers preferences. The country was all the more affected, as they own two main ports involved in this trade, i.e. Berbera (Somaliland) and Bossaso (Puntland). Prior to the bans, the size of the export market from Somalia to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates was estimated around US$600 million, with Saudi Arabia representing 66% of the total. The bans led the Somali livestock market to collapse. Losses for the livestock industry were estimated at US$109 million and US$326 million, for the first and second ban respectively. The government also directly incurred an important loss around US$45 million from foregone export taxes and docking fees. In the same time, livestock exporters lost a net cumulative profit of US$330 million, whereas producers estimated their annual losses at over US$8 million. Hence, the successive RVF-related trade bans impacted the employment rate, the public treasury, the exchange rate of national currency and thus, the price of imported goods, inducing a general inflationary pressure and important socio-economic upheavals. More generally, the livestock market in the whole East Africa was affected, due to the fall in prices caused by the loss of outlets for livestock. Using market equilibrium models taking these shocks into account, the impact of the trade bans on the Somali region of Ethiopia were estimated at a 36% fall of the GDP. Other impacts originated in the closure of markets inside East Africa, being part of national control strategies. In Kenya, e.g., the closure of the Garissa Market, which is a major outlet for Somali and Ethiopian livestock, resulted in a more than 25% decrease in the price of cattle, inducing a total loss of US$10 million for the value chain. The emergency destocking response of distressed households also participated to the fall in prices and worsening of terms of trade. Together with flock mortality and abortion, destocking moreover affects the herds' dynamics on the long run and the commercial potential of households. These mechanisms show greater impact on smallholders, due to threshold effects in livestock capitalisation and the loss in risk management ability in such variable environmental conditions. In the Middle East too, the bans showed drastic economic impacts. In Yemen, e.g., the bans caused a loss of US$15 million from foregone custom taxes and US$27 million profit losses for traders. The two bans, combined with the prolonged ban maintained till 2009 by Saudi Arabia on Somalia, contributed to a restructuration of trade within and between the two regions. Indeed, trade actors soon reorganized their activity, as highlighted through official figures, notwithstanding the importance of informal trade. Hence, Yemen and the United Arab Emirates appeared as major alternative entry points on Arab Peninsula for Somali livestock. The latter could also transit through Djibouti or Sudan to reach Saudi Arabia. Benefitting from the prolonged bans on Somalia, the port of Djibouti emerged as a major player in the region between 2006 and 2009, thanks to massive investment in port infrastructures and agreements with Saudi importers. Therefore the private sector played a considerable role in adapting to new risks. The Djibouti port diverted much of the livestock trade previously handled at the Berbera and Bossaso ports. On this occasion, as it has been the case in Somalia after ban lifting in 2009, the Middle East has been a source of investment for the Horn of Africa for biosecurity infrastructure. Finally, the second ban led to the emergence of Australia as a major livestock supplier for Saudi Arabia from 2000 till now, and to a certain a point Australia has been a country of major Saudi investments which is seen as another way of adapting for some major value chain agents. In the two last decades, the intraregional livestock trade grew rapidly in East Africa, spurred by the urban demand. Most of this trade is informal, thus lacking official figures. It nevertheless shows a great importance regarding poverty alleviation aspects, the small to medium actors being the main operators of this trade. In recent years, a considerable growth in recorded intraregional trade is noticed, mainly due to a growth of recorded exports from Ethiopia to neighboring countries, as a result of a policy aiming at the facilitation of registration procedures through the CAC/AP-system. As a conclusion, livestock export to Middle East and the growing intraregional East-African livestock trade are both threatened by RVF-linked bans due to loss of outlets and price volatility. Thus, stability of the livestock sector being crucial to human and economic development in the region, a high priority must be given to RVF prevention and control, as supported by figures of impact of past outbreaks

The financial cost of clinical Lumpy Skin Disease (LSD) and the financial benefit of its control through vaccination were studied based on questionnaire survey in Oromia region of Ethiopia from the perspective of livestock farmers. Production loss impacts for local zebu cattle were compared with those of Holstein Friesian (HF)/crossbred cattle in the study area. Annual cumulative incidence of LSD infection in HF/crossbred and local zebu cattle were 33.93% (95% CI: 30.92-36.94) and 13.41% (95% CI: 12.6-14.25) respectively and significantly different (p<0.05). Annual mortality was also significantly higher in HF/crossbred 7.43% (95% CI: 5.76-9.10) than in local zebu cattle 1.25% (95% CI: 0.98-1.52). The annual financial cost was calculated as the sum of the average production losses due to morbidity and mortality arising from milk loss, beef loss, traction power loss, and treatment and vaccination costs at the herd level. The financial cost in infected herds was estimated to be USD 6.43 (5.12-8) per head for local zebu and USD 58 (42-73) per head for HF/crossbred cattle. A partial budget analysis was used to estimate the financial benefit of an annual vaccination program in both the local zebu and HF/crossbred cattle farming systems. The marginal rate of return (MRR) gained from this control intervention was estimated to be 34 (3400%) and the net benefit per head was USD 1 for local zebu and USD 19 for HF/crossbred cattle. Vaccination thus enabled financial costs due to LSD to be reduced by 17% per head in local zebu herds and 31% per head in HF/crossbred herds. These results could provide guidance to producers and the government in their endeavors to control the disease.

Surveillance and control of transboundary animal diseases remains a major challenge for animal production in developing countries. This has become a major public health issue for the developed world with the SARS episode in 2003 and again recently with the threat of pandemic influenzas. Innovative methodologies are greatly needed to evaluate the socioeconomical added value of animal disease surveillance adapted to the specific socio-economic contexts of the developing countries. This should come with the integration of modeling (risk-based surveillance; spatio-temporal immunity levels), socio-economy and epidemiology. Since the emerging and endemism of avian influenza H5N1 subtype in several countries in South East Asia, surveillance networks have been setup and are running but the outcomes of such investments (financial and human resources) have not been carefully evaluated. The objective of our research programme is to develop a novel methodology to evaluate the socio-economical added value of animal disease surveillance and more especially H5N1 surveillance network in South East Asia. In order to do so we apply and integrate different methodology based on social sciences (Social Network Analysis (SNA); participatory approaches), public and animal health economies (DALYS, QUALYS, cost-effectiveness and cost-benefit methods) and epidemiology (risk analysis, spatial modeling). Results such as the use of SNA to evaluate the role and positioning of the different actors of the surveillance network will be presented and discussed during the conference. Such study allows the understanding of interaction between actors and the benefit they get with the outcomes of the surveillance network. The aim of this work is to provide valuable tools to decision makers to help them evaluate the best surveillance program to implement within their animal disease risk management policy. Extension off this work to evaluate the socio-economical added value of intervention programs (e.g. vaccination) is ongoing.

Rift valley fever (RVF) is an arboviral disease produced by a bunyavirus belonging to the genus Phlebovirus. Several species of Aedes and Culex are the vectors of this virus that affects sheep, goats, buffalos, cattle, camels and human beings. The human disease is well known, especially during periods of intense epizootic activity. The initial description of the disease dates back to 1930, when animals and human outbreaks appeared on a farm in Lake Naivasha, in the Great Rift Valley of Kenya. Until 2000, this disease was only described in Africa, and then outbreaks were also declared in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (2000-2001 and 2004) and in Yemen (2000-2001). Animal and human cases were recorded. This work presents a retrospective summary of the data collected on animal RVF cases during this epidemic in Yemen. Results from several RVF surveys were gathered from the Yemeni vet services and FAO experts. Geographical data (topographic maps and data freely available on internet) were used for the location of outbreaks. After cleaning and standardization of location names, all the data were introduced into a GIS database. The spatial distribution of outbreaks was then studied at two scales: at the national level and at a local scale in the particular area of Wadi Mawr in the Tihama plain, Western coast of Yemen.

Sex Arrests on a Gay Beach Provoke a Hamptons Debate
By COREY KILGANNON
Published: July 19, 2003
EAST HAMPTON, N.Y., July 17— At Two Mile Hollow Beach, the longtime center of gay life in the Hamptons, the language of the parking lot pickup scene is very specific.
On any given summer weekend evening, there may be dozens of men parked alone in the lot here. When a driver arrives wanting to participate, he typically flashes his brake lights and parks. Then he may flip on his interior light and see who pulls up next to him.
Otherwise, two cars may pass each other like jousting knights and, if they like what they see, pull into adjacent parking spots to meet. Immediate sex is usually the goal, and the men either have it in their cars or wander onto the beach or the dunes.
Participants say they see the same faces cruising the lot every week, but one Friday evening last month, four new men appeared in unmarked cars and wandered onto the beach. They were undercover police officers and they soon saw two men having oral sex.
They arrested the men for public lewdness and three others for public urination. Since then, the East Hampton Village Police Department has run additional Friday night undercover operations and increased uniformed patrols looking for sex offenders.
The crackdown has since escalated into a public controversy, with officials and some residents saying the operation is a response to clearly inappropriate and unlawful public behavior and many gays saying it has become a form of harassment.
''It's like a bomb dropped here,'' said Clifton Nordmeier, 48, one of the two men arrested last month on a public sex charge. ''It's a real step back for us. People don't feel comfortable down there anymore.''
But town officials and many residents say the actions are not anti-gay, but rather an appropriate attempt to curb illegal public sex acts.
''This is not about being gay,'' said the East Hampton Village administrator, Larry Cantwell. ''We have always recognized the gay community as an important part of East Hampton.''
The issue arose after the police received complaints from residents of Further Lane, a picturesque road lined with oceanfront mansions behind tall hedgerows and whose residents include Jerry Seinfeld, the art dealer Larry Gagosian and the Washington lobbyist Liz Robbins.
There have been no additional arrests, but the police presence alone has riled many regular users of the beach and caused an uproar in the East End's gay community. So has the action of some local residents trying to crack down on gay sexual activity here by hiring uniformed security guards to patrol the beach and parking lot and to videotape people engaged in sex acts.
Mr. Nordmeier, a postal clerk from East Hampton, said he was handcuffed on the beach that night, June 13, and marched into the parking lot in front of many onlookers. He was taken to the station house and charged with public lewdness and his name was listed in news stories.
''I literally felt crucified,'' he said. ''It was so public. I felt like I had been strung up in the parking lot.''
He was released later that night on bail and told by a judge recently that the infraction would be dismissed if he committed no other violations for six months.
Tom Kirdahy, a co-chairman of the East End Gay Organization, said that most gay beachgoers agreed with and obeyed the public sex laws, but saw the recent resident and police action as ''crackdowns to stop us from meeting one another.''
''We want assurances this is not about homophobia,'' he said.
In early June, a group called the Further Lane Association began complaining to the village police about public sex and urination by beachgoers. The residents hired a private security firm to patrol the beachfront property, videotape beachgoers having sex and urinating and give the tapes to the East Hampton Village Police Department, said the police chief, Gerard Larsen Jr.
None of the resident group's members have been identified publicly, but gay leaders and village officials say that their movement is spearheaded by the Wall Street investor Ron Baron, who last year bought a $23 million beachfront property, apparently unaware of the beach's history as a gay trysting place. Mr. Baron's gray, atrium-style house is separated from the beach by about 400 yards of vegetation. For weeks, uniformed guards have been stationed at the end of his property watching over men in skimpy bathing suits.
After the situation made newspaper headlines (an East Hampton Star editorial called the arrests ''anti-gay'' and a ''witch hunt,'' and The East Hampton Independent ran the front-page headline ''Home Sweet Homophobia?''), the Further Lane Association hired a publicist, who said the group would discontinue using security guards on the beach.
The publicist, Cathy Callegari, said that Mr. Baron's was one of 10 households that make up the association. She said that Mr. Baron was far from homophobic and in fact had gone to great lengths to care for an employee with AIDS who died in 1992.
''This is not a gay issue,'' she said. ''It's a legal issue.''
Mr. Baron did not respond to phone messages left at his office, but an assistant there sent an e-mail message outlining the Further Lane Association's recommendations for the beach, which include closing the parking lot at night and strictly enforcing public sex and nude sunbathing laws, ''with the intent to make our neighborhood safe and enjoyable for individual homeowners, their families and guests as well as residents and visitors to East Hampton.''
Chief Larsen insisted that the police enforcement was directed at illegal behavior, not at sexual preference. ''It's a not a gay thing,'' he said. ''It's enforcing the law.
''If there are no crimes, then no one's getting arrested. Nobody's pleading not guilty. They're saying, 'This has been going on for 50 years; why can't it continue?' ''

Cowboys and Indians
I would not say this is a total tourist trap, as the person is very up front with the way he operates his brusking business. As you are enjoying the Stockyards Historical District, you will come across a gentleman with a thick Texas accent that is painted in Indian war paint, and is wearing traditional Indian outfits, with a paint horse. He accepts tips for pictures with a single person, $5 for group pictures, and is actively recruiting people to take photos with him. It is fun for a good picture with an Indian, but know up front that this is a tip based business.
Fun Alternatives: We still had fun with the guy, as he was on his cell phone when we walked by, so we took this ironic pose of a cowboy and an Indian both on their cell phones!
Risky's Restaurants in Stockyards Station
There are some Tex-mex restaurants in the Stockyards that may have tourist appeal, but their food is lacking in quality. The main culprit is Riscky's: Risky's BBQ, Risky's Catch and Risky Rita's - they have a few places in the Stockyards Station section of the stockyards which also houses many little shops. I had some BBQ ribs at Risky's BBQ once...they were nasty. http://www.stockyardsstation.com/
Unique Suggestions: If you look around or ask people at the info center (which is nearby,) they'll point out some smaller, excellent tex-mex places that lack the glitz of the obvious tourist trap eateries but out-do them with their cuisine.
The Stockyards are a must if...
The Stockyards are a must if you visit Fort Worth, but beware, there are so many shops with overpriced goods. If you want to purchase western clothing (most tourists want to buy boots, etc.) go to Cavender's, they are located throughout the city and have much more reasonable prices.
