CLEARWATER, Fla., July 11, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- ValCom, Inc.

The Platters Golden Anniversary album will feature digitally re-mastered cuts of classic Platters songs including Only You, Smoke Gets in Your Eyes, and The Great Pretender. The Album will also feature new, original recordings with Platter's lead singer Sonny Turner and two surprise Top 40 recording artists.The project will be produced by recording industry veterans Joel Wertman, Vince Vellardita, and Tim Harrington. Wertman is credited with discovering multiple music artists including No Doubt, The Goo Goo Dolls, and Bush. Vellardita has over 30 years of experience in the entertainment industry where he has produced and promoted over 200 live events, and Harrington brings years of business and marketing experience as an entrepreneur and venture capitalist. "We've assembled an all-star team of business and creative talent to bring this first Platters album to market," stated Vince Vellardita, President and CEO of ValCom.

The second of the releases will be Ike & Tina Turner: The Lost Tapes that will feature rare and long-lost studio recordings of one of the most influential song-writing teams in music history. Producer Tim Harrington commented, "We first heard the Ike and Tina master tapes in an Atlanta recording studio a few months ago. I was amazed at the quality of the recordings. When I heard what Tina's voice sounded like at the beginning of her career, I realized that she is the Beyonce Knowles of her generation." About ValCom, Inc.

Since receiving invaluable help from the FFF after the loss of my child in 2007, I have attended their events, served on their advisory board, and referred dozens of my own clients to this organization. FFF is the top organization of its kind, bringing groundbreaking research on the afterlife to the general public while constantly bringing emotional and spiritual support to bereaved parents, spouses, children, and others. They are a national treasure and deserve the top award from your organization. FFF is the best of the best~
Thank you for your eloquent works of support. We deeply appreciate your participation.

Best, most productive and positive non-profit I have ever worked with. I've been both a beneficiary of FFF services as well as a volunteer. . FFF helps people at the worst time of their lives--when they've lost a loved one. Their seminars and events are top notch, reasonably priced, and professional done. Can't say enough good things about them. Great example of people taking their painful experiences and weaving them into something great!
Thank you! We are so happy to have you as a volunteer, and glad the resources can also help you and others who will gain valuable knowledge and support through them.

This organization helped save my life when I suffered the loss of my child. The Forever Family Organization makes a much needed and extremely powerful contribution to our world, as everyone, sooner or later, goes through the grief of losing a loved one. Their activities provide hope and comfort in ways no other organization does! I am very grateful to be associated with them.
Eloquent words, and so true! Thank you for taking the time to write this!

Bob and Phran have been very gracious to me, conducting one of the first interviews I gave on my popular book, Baltho, The Dog Who Owned a Man, which involves my own paranormal experiences with the souls of the living and those who have passed on, including my animal companions. The saga goes on and will be detailed in future books.
They asked pertinent questions that showed they'd read the book, engaging me in in-depth discussions.
I look forward to future interviews with them.

Forever Family Foundation serves many roles with the grieving community, holding that the soul continues to live following death. From providing support through emails, programming and a fabulous newsletter, FFF routinely reaches out to the living while assuring them that those they've lost are with them. Certifying Medium as 'the real deal' is also an important thing they do, along with reviewing research, staying on top of trends, etc. that are discussed on their weekly radio program. I recommend them frequently to my clients.

The cafeteria: a cavernous room filled with counters of lukewarm food sitting beneath a heat lamp for hours. Such dining was a staple for colleges and universities for years.
But not a single cafeteria can be found today at Oregon State University. In recent years, University Housing and Dining Services has filled the campus' three dining halls with salad bars, convenience stores offering fresh fruit and vegetables, and smaller concept restaurants with menus that aim to provide inexpensive healthy options and authentic international cuisine for students on meal plans and anyone else in the campus community.
'Stealth health'
More universities nationwide are offering healthy dining options, such as more offerings for vegetarians and vegans, who eat no animal products.
OSU is following suit, and posts meatless offerings at each dining location on its website, along with menus and nutritional information - including gluten-free and allergy information - for each of its restaurants, convenience stores and coffee shops.
But they're not stopping at just vegetarian-friendly food; the university's dining team will be implementing a "stealth health" program this year to sneak healthy food past students.
For example, side salads are available 95 cents each, and healthier items are positioned on the menu so that students read these options first; Calabaloo's Café at both McNary Dining Center and Marketplace West hides its milkshakes on the bottom right corner of the menu. Free ice water and fresh fruit are also placed near the cash register at many locations so more customers will pick them up on impulse.
New recipes also have to be approved by Tara Sanders, University Housing and Dining Service's nutritionist; she checks out aspects such as calories, sodium content and fat through the university's recipe management software and makes suggestions to chefs on how to make the dish healthier.
Following national dining trends, Boardwalk Café is also launching a bean-and-grain menu developed by McNary chef David Lewis using ingredients such as quinoa, black-eyed peas and kasha; they'll serve the dishes for lunch and dinner nearly every day of the school week.
But the dining team is not advertising the bean-and-grain menu to be nutritious because many student and nonstudent customers will give the word "healthy" a negative connotation.
"Why spoil it because it's healthy?" Lewis said. "We're not even going to tell them."
Likewise at Arnold Dining Center, Chef Bruce Hoerauf sneaks past customers a healthier version of the preeminent student dining staple - pizza - by making it more in the Italian style with a thin crust and less cheese and sauce. The dining center even has a separate oven to keep gluten-free dough separate from dough containing gluten.
International cuisine
Marketplace West sees many international student customers - this fall, OSU overall will see about 5 percent of the total student population come from outside the U.S. - and Chef Jay Perry had this in mind when developing menus for the center's six restaurants.
The resulting menus feature meals with seemingly unfamiliar ingredients and an authentic taste.
For example, Ring of Fire now uses tamari and fish sauce instead of salt, and salted turnip - an ingredient Perry hadn't heard of before researching Asian cuisine - in pad thai. There are also items with heavy Japanese, Polynesian and Vietnamese influences.
Perry estimates 75 percent of Ring of Fire's customers are international students from Asia, so the dining team aimed to create "cultural comfort food."
"We want them to not miss home," he said.
They're also incorporating more trends from the restaurant scenes in Portland by breaking out their own versions of "street food," such as Korean tacos, a popular hybrid of Mexican and east Asian cuisine.
Creating authentic menus with uncommon ingredients can also help domestic students find a new appreciation for food.
"It adds something to their palate they may have never tasted before," Perry said.
Balanced diets
The dining team also closely monitors what students are eating by looking at feedback submitted to dining's main office and watching what food gets purchased more often than other items. Chefs also like to walk the dining areas and ask students what they think about what's available. That interest in feedback helped OSU win the Restaurants and Institutions Magazine's Ivy Award in 2009 for their dining and customer service excellence.
But just because students can have a nutritious meal all day, every day on campus doesn't mean they'll always make the best choices.
Each hall offers its share of junk food and less-than-nutritious options; for example, sides of sour cream are always available to students eating at Serrano Grill, though the condiment is far from healthy or even authentic to Mexican cuisine.
The dining team recognizes that a young population, many of whom are living away from home for the first time, typically wants junk food on the menu. In the end, all the dining halls can do is provide students with healthy options in addition to comfort foods.
"It's their choice if they're going to want it or not," Hoerauf said.
But with a diverse yet overly young customer base, offering some unhealthy foods isn't doing students a disservice, says nutritionist Sanders.
"It's about a balanced diet," she said. "Even a cookie is part of a balanced diet."

If you're a student who really wants to proselytize to your classmates, there are plenty of opportunities to do it: On weekends, outside of school, during lunch, etc. But a lot of Christians aren't satisfied with that — they want to talk about Jesus in a way so that students are forced to listen. The courts have said they can't do that over the loudspeakers during morning announcements or over the loudspeakers at athletic events. So many student speakers have tried to use their platform at graduation ceremonies to invoke the name of God.
That's what happened in one particular case in 2009. [Read more…]

Well the only thing that I have to report is in the "Catch your starter" option.
If you ran out of pokéballs you will be getting out of the Fuchsia Safari Zone and not to Prof. Oak's lab. I know it sounds impossible to ran out of balls but that Trapinch was nobody's fool.
And may I do a suggestion? I've have always liked to makes teams with pokemon of all 3 generation available on FR, but the thing is that is really a pain to train them only with wild pokemon on using the VS Seeker (and most trainers have stronger teams).
So, is there any way you can make gym re-battles but make them have the same team on the same levels? That would be pretty cool if you could make it, along with my previous idea of the mystery gift thing, also could you make just a IPS download? Because my cellphone don't have much space left and I don't think it would handle the complete rar (I think it was?) archive.
Thanks a lot, I really don't have any big problems with the game, I'm enjoing it a lot so thanks again for making this hack
My blog: "You know... that guy". Why don't you take a look at it? Just started it and if you have suggestion for any subject for me to write about I will gladly considerate it and give my thoughts on it!

Christine Celata: It is much easier to ignore inequity when it happens to strangers than when we are knit together with those strangers until they are friends. As an individual you can make a difference. One person with compassion can change many lives, even if it is one at a time.
Immigration Case Backlog At All-Time High
Michelle Waslin: The growing backlog means that more immigrants are being kept in detention for longer periods of time. Making matters worse, a bill by Rep. Lamar Smith (H.R. 1932) to allow the U.S. to detain immigrants indefinitely is currently making its way through the House of Representatives.
Mother Nature's Day
Steve Hochstadt: My whole gardening effort is unnatural. Without constant human intervention to develop these artificial arrangements of plants, very different processes would take over.
The Limits to Growth and the Growth of Despair
Nicholas C. Arguimbau: Economic growth is bad for the economy. Or more acccurately stated, it is bad for individuals, good for the managers of large corporate and govenmental institutions and large NGOs.
Racist Groups Online and Off
Jessie Daniels: The fact is hate groups are growing offline, in person, and face-to-face. The people in these groups then use the Internet to stay connected and reinforce their beliefs and connect with still others who share those beliefs.
D-Day For Public Employees
Joseph Palermo: With the aggressive onslaught aimed at public employees and their unions that Republican governors have unleashed in recent weeks, it's long past time for politicians calling themselves "Democrats" to push aside the anti-labor elements inside their party and stand up for basic worker protections.
So Many Selves, So Little Time
Michael Sigman: Strangest of all, apoplectic far-Right lunatic Glenn Beck transmogrified — for a day, at least — into Our Savior last week before a throng of some 87,000, according to a CBS News estimate.

iHerb Customer Reviews
Savings of: $1.00 (9% off)
Product formula has changed
Posted by Reviewer3073265 on Feb 24, 2015
I've bought this several times previously and it was so delicious. The most recent order I received looked different but I thought the just changed the label. It didn't have the same texture or taste and I checked out the label and it has different calorie/carb counts (which is important for me with insulin problems) and it's no longer made with agave but coconut sugar. It's horrible. The coconut sugar absorbs all the oil and gives it a gritty texture. It's also not as sweet because coconut sugar is not a good sweetener IMO. The new formula is drier and grittier and has a really off taste. If they go back to the old recipe I will repurchase but if not then they can keep it.
Manage your expectations
Posted by Reviewer2201518 on Feb 06, 2015
I bought this because of the "glowing" and "blissful" reviews. Honestly, I regret the purchase and no one in our house is willing to touch this. There's nothing blissful about it. It's pretty much the flavor of coco jam with some cocoa, no sweetness and lots of oil. The coco overpowers the chocolate flavor so that might account for my unhappiness. If you like coco jam - or similar tasting products, you would most likely be happy with this. If you were looking for a healthy alternative to satisfy your chocolate craving, keep looking.
heaven on earth

Fabulous product which my daughter loves and not too sweet. You can really taste the coconut and cacoa, instead of sugar sugar sugar - like in other chocolate spreads.
Nice flavor!
Posted by SunnyRose on Jan 17, 2015
This raw chocolate coconut butter has a nice flavor. It doesn't taste bitter and has a nice mixture of chocolate and coconut flavor.

didnt like it at all..
Just ok
Posted by Reviewer2359183 on Dec 28, 2014
This tastes alright, although I would've liked a stronger and more intense chocolate flavor. So either plain coconut butter or a good vegan nutella for me.
Very delicious!

I eat it instead of chocolate
Posted by 4665503560050011313 on Nov 25, 2014
I thought this product would be "liquidous" in room temperature, but I was wrong (or the indoor climate too cold here in Sweden, 20 degrees C is apparently not enough). No worries, I eat it instead of chocolate! Or melt it when putting it on top of roasted bread. It is sweet, but not too sweet, and taste both chocolate and coconut. Yummy!

good taste
Posted by healthseeker on Sep 10, 2014
Nice taste... I guess it is perfect for those who are on a raw food diet, but for me it is just nice :) I hope that most of the ingridients are really raw

Skip to main content
To start off, I'm really self-conscious. I'm slightly heavyset, and practically hate myself for it. I know it's nothing really major, but nevertheless. I don't like my body.
My boyfriend is very athletic and is on one sport team or another all year round. He has a fantastic body and is really tan- me, on the other hand: un-muscular, pale (and pink, in some places), hairy (I have a trail of hair from my pubic area to my mid-stomach) and "flabby".
I don't feel comfortable taking off my clothes in front of him, much less having sex with him. Is there a way I can "train" myself to take my clothes off in front of him and not feel totally inferior?
I was wondering what is it called when a white creamy colored liquid comes out of the female during sex. My boyfriend stopped having sex with me because that color of liquid came out and he also said it was smelly, like bad.
I was directed to this site by a friend of mine and I'm really impressed in the amount of information and real life questions that are answered. I've had a few things on my mind that I just can't seem to figure out so I guess this is one the best place to ask.
I am 19 years old and my partner is 18. We have been dating for almost 8 months and are very much in love. We have been sexually active for the past few months, and we were both virgins. We have only used condoms during sex because my partner hasn't had time to make an appointment to get a prescription to go on "the pill" We are hoping to have her start soon (within the month if things go as planned) We have been very careful when we have sex. We make sure the condom is on properly and that both of us are sufficiently lubed before there is any penetration. We have had a few scares, but it just turned out to be us over reacting over a late period (but I bet we aren't the only ones who have done that). We have been through a lot together and have shared so much with each other in the time we have been together. I never force her to do anything sexually if she doesn't want to. I respect her mind and body like it should be.
We have had some really great experiences sexually but there are some things that are starting to bother me.
I'm 18, and my girl and I have been going out for a year and we have just recently become sexually active so I have a few questions.
1. Is it okay to use spermicidal lubrication,or a spermicidal condom, because I did research and it may harm my girlfriend. I definitely don't want to do that because I truly love her.
2. We've tried anal, and once I ejaculated inside her anus, is that ok? Every time I try anal it hurts her, how do I make it feel good for her? I don't use lube, and I am very careful, and hate seeing her in pain.
3. Is it ok to use water, spit, or saliva for lube to go in her butt?
4. when I eat my girls vagina she really likes it, but I want to get maximum stimulation, how would I do that?
5. Is it ok to have anal sex or will that mess her intestines up at all in any way? I just want to make sure it's safe, okay, and won't harm the love of my life.
My girlfriend and I care about each other very much. recently we had decided to become sexually active. She has had previous partners though she was my first. She says that I satisfy her, though I have honestly told her she does not satisfy me. I told her it doesnt matter but she is very upset and I am myself bewildered. How can I not enjoy intercourse? Especially considering its a new and exciting experience?
I found this website and I thought it was pretty open in its answers. I have been searching a lot for answers to my questions and most seem biased to individual opinions or not very clear at all. I am posting here because I feel I can find an objective and intelligent answer after reading a few Q's a A's.
First of all I am a 24 year old male. I have a gorgeous girlfriend I love dearly and is obviously the reason I need questions answered. We have been sexually active for a year but we have had a lot of issues involving safe sex. We have a lot of chemistry between us and we find it very hard to resist our sexuality. That doesn't mean we don't use protection, we use condoms a lot but not completely and thats where stress sets in. Most of the time we have around 1 to 2 minutes of unprotected sex before putting on a condom. I don't let myself get near to ejaculation we just enjoy it a bit then put a condom to finish the job. I have read a lot about this and have knowledge of pre-ejaculation fluid possibly containing sperm if ejaculation has occurred beforehand. I always take a shower, pee and make sure we haven't had sex up to one day before we do anything. We also never have sex again after I have ejaculated. Also, I avoid doing this or anything at all when she's ovulating. So if the claims are true, following this means these short 1 to 2 minutes of unprotected sex before the condom are relatively safe, or so I believe since we have been doing it for a year now. I know that doesn't mean it works maybe we have been lucky. That's where I need an answer. Is what we are doing OK?
We plan on eventually marrying and having a family but we are not ready yet. She hasn't graduated yet from college. I am about to graduate but currently I am unemployed. This has produced so much stress on me to the point that I have started to lose hair. Every single month when she's about the have her period I get worried thinking if it will arrive. Maybe I am getting overly worried but having a family at the right time means a lot to me and to her as well. Not to mention her parents have a good image of me. I wouldn't want to disappoint them. I also don't want to have her go through and unwanted pregnancy before she achieves everything she wants to do. We have a lot of plans and don't want to let them go to waste.
We have been thinking on getting the pill just so we can relax a bit. Recently she visited her gynecologist but she was denied the pill. She is now looking for another gyno and I am still losing my hair. We only want to do things right but we find it to be very hard. We have tried but the circumstances always promote the behavior. We have even promised to help each other but to no avail. If you have any suggestions that would help us it would be greatly appreciated.
I am 28 years old and got married four months ago. Both my husband (29 years old) and I were not virgins before marriage and had both been with two other people before we started dating each other. We made the mutual decision to abstain from intercourse until marriage for religious reasons and to be "right with God" this go around. We dated for two years by the date of our wedding. During that time we would engage in foreplay, oral sex and we enjoyed that. I always wanted to fool around more than him and I made that known while we were dating, but he would always say that it was too difficult to get that worked up and have to stop. I had to agree, so I learned to become patient.
As the relationship went on and we got engaged a year and a half in, during our six month engagement we started having less and less foreplay. As our wedding day approached I became increasingly more excited about FINALLY being able to have guilt free, passionate, fun sex. I would say things like, "I can't wait!" and "how often do you think we'll have sex?" and "We will be able to have sex anywhere in the house and anytime we want" etc. I intentionally said this to express how excited I was about having sex finally. He would respond that he was looking forward to it too but that he didn't know how often we would because he couldn't make statements about part of our relationship that didn't exist yet. He would even get uncomfortable when I would talk about orgasms, something that I've only had real success with achieving with the aid of a vibrator. So the wedding night came and there was no passion, no romance, no "making love" just sex. I thought as least he would take me out of my beautiful dress, NO he just stripped and hoped into the shower, then wanted to have sex in the shower for the first time, Not my vision of my wedding night I'd waited for for two years. The honeymoon was the same. When we do have sex it lasts about 5 min. We've never had spontaneous sex or morning sex or after a fight sex.
He says now he's just not that sexual of a person and I feel betrayed and let down that he didn't express this before we promised to spend the rest of our lives together. He has trouble getting and sometimes keeping an erection and I become frustrated when he turns me down for sex. I've heard of girls not being interested in sex, but never a guy. He just is not into spontaneous, passionate, fun, sex. I'm not even sure he knows the difference. I have had great sex in the past, the kind I can't wait for, but with my husband, it's not exciting and he doesn't even get turned on my sexy lingerie. He is not interested in going to the doctor to take something for his occasional impotence. At best we have sex once a week. I was expecting that "newlywed sex" like rabbits that everyone seems to talk about, is that just a myth? Please help!
Well I've been thinking about having sex with my bf, but like I shave and get red bumps. I've tried baby powder and even going slower, do you have any other things I could do to stop the bumps? My hair also grows back super fast, and most other girls dont have to worry about that. It really frutrates me. Please help!!!

|ESPN.com: Boston Celtics
|[Print without images]
The Golden State Warriors are closing in on signing summer-league sensation Jeremy Lin, according to sources with knowledge of the talks.
Sources told ESPN.com on Tuesday that the Warriors, by offering to guarantee more than half of Lin's potential first-year salary of nearly $500,000, have reached an agreement with the point guard from Harvard.
Lin is expected to receive a multiyear deal, sources said. The deal has not been signed.
Lin's Bay Area roots and consistently strong performance with the Dallas Mavericks' squad in Las Vegas prompted the Warriors to chase Lin hard and ultimately outbid a handful of teams that have been pursuing him since summer-league play ended Sunday.
The Mavericks and Los Angeles Lakers were among the first teams to try to sign the 6-foot-3 guard for next season, but agent Roger Montgomery told ESPNDallas.com on Monday that the publicity Lin attracted for outplaying prized Mavs youngster Roddy Beaubois -- while routinely flashing better-than-expected athleticism in the process -- generated a clutch of new offers.

Well over 100 people packed the chapel of the Grace Reformed Church on Bedford Avenue last Tuesday night to protest construction of a 24-story glass tower in their community.
Standing at some 270 feet in height, the 86-unit luxury condominium project slated for 27-35 Lincoln Road would easily dwarf any other building presently surrounding it and residents fear it's just the tip of the spear.
"The construction of high-end housing on such a massive scale will just accelerate a process of uprooting long-term residents that is already well underway," said teacher Nancy Hoch. "We're already seeing rapidly rising rents that threaten both residential and small commercial tenants."
Lenox Road resident A. Victoria Hunter said that she worries about being able to continue residing in the community where she's lived since the 1970s.
"I like living in this community," she said. "I like living near the park. I like living near the central library and the botanical gardens. We have a beautiful community, a beautiful mosaic…and I'd like to keep it that way."
Another resident named Mary Gumbs said that exploding rents forced her to pack her bags in 2007 after 40-plus years on Rutland Road. The retiree was one of the lucky ones, however, securing an affordable apartment not too far away on Albany Avenue through a lottery system.
As an as-of-right project, opponents of the new glass tower slated to rise next to the Prospect Park subway stop on the B and Q lines, have few options in fighting it.
The site lies within an R7-1 zone with a C2-3 commercial overlay. L. Rickie Tulloch, former chair of Community Board 17's Land Use Committee argued that the height of the planned building is still way out of context with the neighborhood.
"Without re-zoning to insure that the heights of new buildings conform to those surrounding them, our blocks and community will encounter an acceleration in the construction of outsized buildings," he said. "This in turn will lead to the demise of the fabric and essence that make our community special."
Members of the Concerned Residents of Greater Prospect-Lefferts Gardens and the Prospect Lefferts Gardens Neighborhood Association – sponsors of last week's meeting – are exploring some sort of contextual zoning or landmarking to protect the character of their neighborhood.
Those options, however, as demonstrated in other Brooklyn neighborhoods can be long and complicated.
Some frustrated residents at the Bedford Avenue meeting said that they were ready to handcuff themselves together to stop construction, while others echoed activists in Carroll Gardens in calling for a moratorium on new building.
Both the Metropolitan Council on Housing and Families United for Racial and Economic Equality (FUREE) are lending their support,
FUREE community organizer Theo Moore charged Mayor Mike Bloomberg with only being interested in bringing a million more "rich people" into the city.
"People here need to understand that it's not about this one ugly glass tower on Lincoln Road," Moore said "It's really about all of Brooklyn…just because you aren't rich doesn't mean that anybody who has more money can come into your neighborhood and tell you what is good for you."
City Councilmember Mathieu Eugene urged neighbors to channel their efforts into trying to get Park Tower Associates, LLC principals Steven and Henry Herbst to reconsider their plans.
"We are going to win only if we work together to try and pressure the owners to sit down at the table," Eugene said.
Designs by Tom Gilman of Gilman Architects reserve the first two floors of the 24-story building for retail space. Opponents charge that the overall height of the building intrudes on Prospect Park and even poses a hazard to migratory birds.
Another community meeting focusing on displacement and development will be held on June 7 at 4:30 p.m. inside the Church of the Evangel, located on Bedford Avenue at Hawthorne Street. Those interested in attending should e-mail prospectfo

Deadly new coronavirus a "serious risk" in hospitals
June 20, 2013 12:59 by Reuters
The new Middle East coronavirus that has killed 38 people after emerging late last year is a serious risk in hospitals because it is easily transmitted in healthcare environments, infectious disease experts said on Wednesday.
In a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, the researchers said the Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) was not only easily transmitted from patient to patient, but also from the transfer of sick patients to other hospitals.
Nine infected patients in Saudi Arabia had received dialysis treatment at the same hospital, some at the same time.
The international investigative team of specialists, who went to Saudi Arabia to analyse the outbreak in May, said it was even more deadly than a similar outbreak of SARS, or severe acute respiratory syndrome, in Canadian hospitals in 2003.
MERS is related to SARS because the virus that causes it is from the same coronavirus family.
The MERS virus, which can cause coughing, fever and pneumonia, has spread from the Gulf to France,Germany, Italy, Tunisia and Britain. The World Health Organisation puts the latest global toll at 38 deaths from a total of 64 laboratory-confirmed cases.
The team, which included Saudi, Canadian and other scientists, was invited by Saudi officials to help investigate the outbreak in several Saudi hospitals.
For the study, they compared it to an outbreak of SARS in Toronto in 2003 which the same team had also investigated.
Trish Perl, a professor at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in the United States and a member of the international team, said the investigation "showed some surprising similarities between MERS and SARS".
"Both are very deadly viruses and easily transferred between people, and even between healthcare facilities," she said in a statement about their findings.
Initially, 23 people in Saudi Arabia were infected with MERS at the time of the investigation, and 11 died. Saudi health officials now put the death toll at 32, with another 49 infected.
Among the 23 infected initially, five were family members and two were health care workers, the researchers said.
As well as the nine infected patients on dialysis, another dialysis patient had been transferred between units at different hospitals, where others became infected.
Eight other infected patients were transferred between facilities or hospitals – a factor the researchers said probably led to more patients becoming exposed.
The team did not say specifically why MERS was a serious risk in hospitals, but wards are often high risk areas for the spread of infections because sick people with weakened immune systems are vulnerable to bugs and viruses being inadvertently spread by health workers caring for multiple patients.
"The story of how this outbreak occurred and how this virus was transmitted became very clear once we started to lay out the evidence," said Perl.
"(We) saw that one infected patient had been in the hospital at the same time as another infected patient, and this patient was transferred to another hospital, where another patient became infected shortly thereafter."
Among the team's major findings was that MERS, even with relatively fewer people infected than in the SARS outbreak, had a death rate many times higher than SARS, at 48 percent and 8 percent, respectively.
The researchers noted, however, that the MERS death rate may come down if more cases are identified, including cases in people with milder symptoms.

Between 1978 and 2002, it took approximately 5 years after leaving school for the first time before the average worker started a job that lasted 3 years.
The length of the transition varied by level of educational attainment.
Data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 (NLS79) show that the median high school dropout took nearly 11 years before starting a job that would last 3 years. In comparison, the median high school graduate took 6 years to start a job that would last 3 years. Those with a college degree settled into stable employment much more quickly; within a year and a half they started a job that would last 3 years.
In other words, the median high school dropout started a job that would last 3 years at age 29; the median high school graduate, at age 24; and the median college graduate, age 26.
These data are from the BLS National Longitudinal Surveys program. For additional information, see "The transition from school to work: education and work experiences," by Julie A. Yates, Monthly Labor Review, February 2005.

14000 BP. Deep in the Altai Mountains of Southern Siberia, about this date, a wall of water 1,500 feet high surged down the ChujaRiverValley at 90 miles per hour. How does one deduce such a hydrological cataclysm? A. Rudoy, a Geologist at Tomsky State Pedagogical Institute, points to giant gravel bars along the ChujaRiverValley. These are not the inch-sized ripples we see on the floors of todays rivers; these are giants measuring tens of yards from crest to crest. Only a catastrophic flood could have piled up these ridges of debris. Rudoy postulates that, during the Ice Ages, a huge Ice Dam upstream held back a lake 3,000 feet deep, containing 200 cubic metres of water. When the Ice Dam suddenly ruptured, all life and land downstream was devastated. (folger, tim, The Biggest Flood, Discover, 15:36, January 1994.) But other thoughts intrude: were the heaps of Mammoth Carcasses, the Siberian IvoryIslands; and those anomalous Stone tools mentioned earlier under Archaeology the consequences of similar Siberian Floods? (Science Frontiers #92, March-April 1994. William R Corliss.)
So there I am trying to hunt down the Sumerian homeland of which I think there is more tan one but anyway, I come across this quite bozarre site where I found the excerpt. The first claim they make is that the welsh came from Siberia 30,000BP. Are the kidding or what? Wales only has a population of 3 mil so how they can deduce such a genetic relationship I do not know. I understand they can but I see it of no real relevance.
On agglutinative languages.
It can be shown that the distribution of many typological features of languages is not random but geographically (relatively) restricted. E.g., ergative-absolutive languages show up basically in the Caucasus, in North America, Mesoamerica, Australia: Basque, Berber, Dyirbal, Eskimo-Aleut, Kurdish, Mayan, Mixe-Zoque, Samoan, Tagalog and many other Austronesian languages, Sumerian, Tibetan, Caucasian without Kartvelian. Since agglutination is inheritable, we may thus ask if the agglutinative languages are also concentrated in certain regions of the world. Unfortunately, since there is no complete list of agglutinative languages (but cf. Shibatani/Bynon 1999), the following overview may be
Uralic (Collinder 1957)
Altaic (Turkic, Mongolian, Manchu, Korean, Japanese) (Ramstedt 1966; Poppe 1960; Sohn 2001; Miller 1971 [with review Menges 1974])
Eskimo-Aleut (Mithun 1999)
Paleo-Siberian (Chukotko-Kamchatkan, Yukaghir, Yeniseian, Gilyak) (Comrie 1981)
Ainu (Tamura 2000)
Tibeto-Burman (van Driem 2001; also some Chinese languages like Wu; Old Chinese?Clauson?)
Basque (Hualde/Ortiz de Urbino 2003)
Caucasian Languages (Klimov 1980)
Punjabi (Bhatia 1993)
Ossetic (Thordarson 1989)
Kurdish (Wurzel 1997)
Cushitic Languages (Saeed 1993)
Bantu Languages (Guthrie 1971)
Dravidian (Kirshnamurti 2003)
North American Indian Languages (von Sadovszky 1996; Kroeber 1999)
Mesoamerican Indian Languages (Campbell 1997)
South American Indian Languages (Derbyshire/Pullum 1986)
Malaysian (Lynch/Ross/Crowley 2002)
The following ancient languages were also agglutinative:
Pre-Indo-European (Lehmann 2002; Greenberg 2000)
Proto-Indo-European (Brunner 1969)
Etruscan (Pfiffig 1969)
Tocharian (Krause/Thomas 1960)
Sumerian (Thomsen 1984; Edzard 2003)
Elamite (Khacikjan 1998)
Hurrian (Wegner 2000)
Urartian (Diakonoff 1971)
Hattic (Girbal 1986)
Kassite (Balkan 1954)
Gutian (Hallo 1957)
Lullubi (Speiser 1931)
From this brief list, we can conclude:
All known Mesopotamian languages (excluded the later Semitic languages like Akkadian, Rhaetic, Amoritic, Ugaritic, etc.) were agglutinative.
The geographical distribution of the agglutinative languages is more or less identical with the languages that have been suspected in the past to be related to Hungarian and thus have been researched in my Etymological Dictionary of Hungarian (Tóth 2007b): Roughly speaking, they extend from the Ice Sea to the Southern Seas leaving huge gaps only in certain parts of India (e.g., no member of the Mon-Khmer family is according to my knowledge agglutinative).
Therefore, agglutination is not only inheritable, but agglutinative languages seem to cover a more or less coherent territory with a huge extension both in space and in time. Although not all languages are sufficiently documented, it is possible to show the genetic relationship of typologically related languages with Boudas concept of Brückensprachen (bridging languages) (cf. Bouda 1963). These are languages that connect both genetically and typologically related languages that are geographically (nowadays) distant. The concept of bridging languages is the more useful because, as already stated, languages can change their typological structure during their evolution. E.g., Old Chinese was agglutinative (as, e.g., Wu Chinese still is), while it is now isolating. The same may be true for the Mon-Khmer languages (cf. Shorto/Sidwell/ Bauer 2006, p. 590ss.). The special problem with India is that many of the hundreds of languages are not even researched yet.
The notable language that is not agglutinative is the Mon Khmer family. I don't really know what this could support other than how I have little chance of understanding all this.

Had a great day till dinner. I Was very hungry when i came home, and tired, which is a bad combination. i decided to make these lean cuisine sandwich things and then everyone came home and we decided to go to Carrabas. I had already eaten 300 calories for dinner but i think i wanted to make everyone happy. I ordered a big salad with shrimp and scallops but ate bread and tasted everyones and shared desert and had a mozzarella cheese stick. I am feeling very mad at myselfand disgusted. i need to just write it off and learn from it. I know there is nothing to be gained by getting down on myself, I also haven't exercised for three days. i never exercise on my 12 hour days and then i had my wisdom teeth removed. I wanted to feel light tomorrow for my motorcycle class but now i am feeling like a big fat loser. i know my calories for dinner is deflated because my fork was everywhere. I wish i could learn from this!

Don't get discouraged! Remember that everyday is a new day! Trying to stick with healthy eating while eating out at a restuarant is tough! All we have around here are fast food places really or mexican restuarants. I don't dare go there yet....those chips and cheese dip are just evil...good though. If I do go out I try to go to Subway since it is pretty much the only place around here with healthy and tasty choices. Hang in there, we will all have little mis-steps along the way, you are doing great and you will reach your goals!

I know how you feel
. Our family (6 of us) shares EVERYTHING when we go out to eat. I haven't done it since starting on Spark, and I am nervous about what will happen. I'm not sure how I will avoid bread or at a Mexican restaurant the chips and salsa!! We have to figure out how to eat out, don't we??? I don't have any bright ideas, but I will see if anyone on the boards has advice. All we can do now is pick ourselves up and keep going. Hang in there, you are not alone.
