Measles Virus
Dear Parents and Staff of Head Start and Early Head Start Children,
As the Medical Consultant for Head Start I am encouraging all of you to check the immunization records for the children and yourselves to determine if you or your children are at risk for contracting Measles during this epidemic. Your health care provider can give your further direction. Please read the information below.
WHAT IS MEASLES? Measles is a preventable communicable disease caused by the measles virus. It is a respiratory disease that can have serious life-threatening complications. In the year 2000, measles was eliminated and declared no longer endemic (common disease) in the United States. Therefore, the recent confirmed cases of measles in the United States are considered part of an epidemic (more than usually expected). In the past week, there have been 5 confirmed cases of Measles in Palatine, IL in infants that attend the same day care center. These infants are too young to routinely receive the Measles vaccination.
ROUTINE IMMUNIZATIONS: The Measles vaccination (immunization) is recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Council on Immunization Practices. The initial dose is between 12 and 15 months. The second or booster is recommended between 4 and six years of age. Children receiving the measles immunization following this schedule are 95% likely to have immunity against Measles. See http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/schedules/
IMMUNIZIING THE COMMUNITY: Infants under the age of 12 months have no significant immunity against measles. This is why it is so important that all other children and adults receive these immunizations. The reason this is effective is "Herd Immunity". This means that all others around the unvaccinated person are immune and should not catch disease. Hence the community or "herd" shelters the weakest one(s) from the disease by not exposing them. All eligible children should be vaccinated against Measles as well as adults with no history of vaccination or physician diagnosed history of Measles.
RISK COMPLICATIONS OF MEASLES: The risk of complications of Measles is highest in young infants and those over 20 years of age. The complications may be something manageable like an ear infection, suffered by one in 20 children with Measles. A more serious and life threatening complication is pneumonia. Pneumonia is the Measles complication that most often leads to death. Encephalitis (swelling of the brain) is suffered by 1 in a thousand persons with Measles and may lead to brain damage and/or death.

Hillary Clinton And Anna Wintour, Together At Last
Photo: Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images.
You guys, it finally happened. Two of the most influential women in our world have joined forces. That's right, Hillary Clinton and Anna Wintour met up this week — they even posed for pictures together. And, surprisingly, the world did not explode due to an overwhelming amount of female greatness in one room. The circumstances surrounding their joyous meeting were honorable indeed (although, who's surprised?) — the two showed up to a dinner raising funds for God's Love We Deliver, a charity that brings meals to homebound New Yorkers.
Michael Kors hosted the star-studded event, and thus we are forever indebted to him for bringing together two of our biggest role models. During the fête, Clinton stepped up to the microphone to offer some of her infinite wisdom and a few lighthearted musings on the state of the government shutdown. "The Senate did pass a deal tonight," she told the party's attendees. "So hopefully we can put this behind us. With the headlines and the despair that some feel watching the news, my advice is don't watch." After her remarks, she joined the Vogue editor at her table for a few bites and what we can only imagine as mind-boggling conversation. What a dream pair. (Women's Wear Daily)

Lakers are an 'old team', Kobe says
Just when it appeared the Lakers had turned a corner and were headed in the right direction, they lost at home Tuesday to the Philadelphia 76ers, 103-99.
Why the detour after winning six of their previous seven games? There were many reasons, such as poor 3-point shooting and poor offensive production from the post. Pau Gasol and Dwight Howard combined for 18 points.
The biggest problem, though, with the Lakers isn't easy to fix. It's not something that can be corrected on the practice floor or come from watching more game film. The Lakers never found the kind of energy needed to make stops against the more aggressive Sixers.
"It's because we're old as (expletitive)," Kobe Bryant said. "We just have to figure out how to play when we don't have that energy. We have to change things up a little bit defensively, we have to figure out what we want to do offensively.
"We have to figure out what we want to do on nights when we don't have those legs, or when we don't have the energy."
Bryant suggested all his teammates need to take care of their bodies and get proper rest so they will be ready to play.
"(Tonight) we were sluggish, stuck in the mud," Bryant said. "When we have games like that, everything is an uphill battle for us. When we play fresh, we play energized, we are a completely different team."
He added: "We're just an old damn team. We're just slow. We were just stuck in the mud."

Hawaii's Dewey Kobayashi Lets His Chips Fall Where They May
Kobayashi insists that his 21-year-old business on the island of Maui remain strictly a family operation. (Only three people know the secret recipe: Dewey, his father and brother.) "To be my own boss is a dream I've realized," says Kobayashi. "And working together keeps the family close. There's other wealth besides money."
Kobayashi is the son of Japanese immigrants who came to Hawaii in the 1920s. He was working as a mechanic in a pineapple factory when he and his parents began experimenting in the basement, making chips in a kettle. They began to catch on with the tourist boom 14 years ago, but it wasn't until 1971 that Kobayashi quit the pineapple factory to devote himself to Kitch'n Cook'd full time.
Today Kobayashi's 12-woman factory turns out 1,000 pounds of potato chips a day, grossing $400,000 annually. The potatoes are brought in from northern California and cooked in huge vats of cottonseed oil. Packaging is entirely by hand. With the exception of Mac's Market, the chips are sold only on Maui. And that's the way things are likely to stay. Dewey is just a chip off the old block, and as his father, 72-year-old Yoshio Kobayashi, puts it, "I want to die making chips—and playing golf."

Lesbian soldier: 'Military gay ban same as ban on blacks and women'
Post your comment

Reader comments
DADT is an inhuman policy. I had a relationship with a woman in the US military, also a Lieutenant-Colonel, and she was absolutely terrified colleagues would see us together, even shopping or in a restaurant. It's a policy that encourages intrusion into private lives, into private behaviour. Obama has failed gay service people completely in not repealing the policy, something he could do by simple presidential order.

Official: Jim Bell Leaves 'Today' to Be Full-Time Olympics Producer
NBC has confirmed Jim Bell's impending departure from "Today". In a statement released on Tuesday, November 13, the network explained that Bell would leave his position as the morning show's executive producer to serve as the full-time executive producer of NBCUniversal's coverage of the Olympic Games.
"There is no doubt that Jim is the right person to be our Olympic production leader into the future," said NBC Sports Group Chairman Mark Lazarus, whom Bell will report to in the future.
Lazarus continued praising Bell, "His professionalism was unmatched in leading the London Olympics to record levels. Jim has worked with the best in the Olympic television world, and we�re excited to have him join us as the full-time executive producer."
President of NBC Olympics Unit, Gary Zenkel, chimed in, "The Olympic legacy at NBCUniversal is long and rich, and Jim has had a role with this unit going all the way back to Barcelona in 1992. It will be great to have Jim back full time as part of our incredibly talented and experienced production team."
Meanwhile, Stephen Burke, CEO and president of NBC parent NBC Universal, claimed the reshuffle was intended to have Bell "take all his time to keep [Olympic] coverage on the cutting edge." He additionally gushed, "We're going to experiment."
NBC hasn't announced Bell's replacement, but rumor has it, Alexandra Wallace is expected to be named as the new executive producer of "Today". The 46-year-old is currently serving as the executive producer for "Rock Center with Brian Williams".

Pilot death "accidental"
Inquest records verdict of accidental death after a BA pilot was killed in a mid air collision.
Inquest records verdict of accidental death after a BA pilot was killed in a mid air collision.
The family of a pilot who died during a mid air collision say his death was preventable. Alan Weal was killed when his light aircraft crashed with another plane over Sussex in July last year.
The coroner at the inquest recorded a verdict of accidental death - but Mr Weal's wife and daughters have vowed to fight for justice for him. Charlotte Wilkins has the story.
A spokesperson from Flying Time Aviation gave their reaction to the inquest:
"It is always a tragedy when a fellow pilot loses his life. Our thoughts are with his family. The instructor pilots operating our aircraft demonstrated how important it is to follow the standard procedures.
They displayed professionalism and exceptional piloting skills after safely landing the severely disabled aircraft without any further loss of life. "

audio performance by Kate Reading
4 stars
Chaos theory, popular culture and romantic comedy; shaken, not stirred. This was a fun book.
Sandra Foster is studying fads to determine how they begin. This allows the author to preface each brief chapter with fun historical fad facts. Bennett O'Reilly is a chaos theorist investigating group behavior in monkeys, until he loses his funding. ( Sheep, it seems, are cheaper.) Both of these eager scientists work within the Dilbertian confines of the corporation, HiTek. Anyone who has ever suffered through inane staff development meetings will appreciate this one. I laughed out loud. And unlike Connie Willis' longer books, this one did not annoy me with unnecessary repetition. Kate Reading did a great job of delivering the satire and the slapstick comedy.
Willis is quickly becoming one of my favorites- consistently clever, adept at the same sort of sneaky set-ups that remind me of Pratchett at his best, intricately yet unobtrusive plotting. This one was fun, quick, perfect vacation reading.
Willis' apt observations of fads, crowds, and group behavior were spot-on. I laughed so hard I almost wet myself. Then I felt a little guilty because I was being snobby and feeling superior to all those "sheep" who follow fads. Then I laughed at myself because I am guilty of following fads, too (Rachel haircut, anyone?). Hilarious.
This was given to me eons ago because of how much I love To Say Nothing of the Dog by Connie Willis. This book has a similar sense of humor that definitely kept me entertained but the plot and backstory that ties it all together didn't hit quite the same loved it nerve with me.
I loved seeing a book set in the mountain range area of the country (Colorado to be precise). I feel like this doesn't happen often enough in books. I also found there was a real nostalgia quality to the book because it was first published in 1996 and set in its own time-period, so the whole thing just screamed 90s nostalgia to me. This played in well to Sandra's fad studies. It gave the book a good reason to notice and talk about the fads, and this held up well over time. What originally was a "oh look at this silly thing people are doing right now" became "hey remember when West Coast coffee was first a thing?" I also really appreciated that a social science was featured at the core of a scifi book. Not just that but a scientist of a science deemed more important and sciencey (chaos theory) ends up working with her and respecting her research and its methods. Super cool.
While I thought the research study was cool, I wasn't as huge of a fan of the competition to receive the grant of a lifetime plot. I appreciated Sandra working to save her job, but the big grant loomed overhead from the very beginning like a deus ex machina. Sandra's disdain for her coworkers wanting to ban smoking from the building as a fad really didn't translate well over time. This wasn't a fad; it was a public health policy, and it rubbed me wrong every time Sandra implied it was like the whole are eggs good or bad for you debate. Second-hand smoke is just bad for you, and unlike a coworker eating an egg, it can actually impact your health if you're around it. I'm sure it was funnier in the 90s but it didn't work so well now, and it honestly made me dislike Sandra a bit.
Overall, scifi fans looking for a humorous plot with a female lead, an unusual focus on the social sciences with a dash of 1990s nostalgia will enjoy this book.
Check out my full review. (Link will be live May 9, 2016).

A romantic comedy on two scientists using the chaos theory to predict fads in our society. They are Sandra and Bennet, working on the premise that a tiny action like the flap of a butterfly's wings in Arizona has an impact on the whole world, perhaps resulting in a hurricane in China. The couple's work on fad-diffusion produces comic as well as tragic results.… (more)

A major report into climate change is a wake-up call New Zealand must heed, one of its main authors says.
The second part of the fifth United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change assessment report has just been released.
It predicts a 2-4 degree Celsius rise in average temperatures in New Zealand by the end of the century and warns of increased risk of wildfire, storms, floods, landslides and sea level rises.
Professor Tim Naish, director of the Antarctic Research Centre at Victoria University, was one of the lead authors of the first part of the report released in September.
The second part, including a chapter focused on Australasia, had clear implications for New Zealand, he said.
The country faces a half-metre rise in sea levels by 2100 and increasing storms, with "one in 100 year" events becoming annual occurences by the end of the century, Naish said.
"This report is a wake-up call for New Zealand to take its head out of the sand, to take a longer-term view - at least longer than an electoral cycle - and rise to the challenge of adaptation if we are to future-proof this country for coming generations."
The Australasia chapter lists a series of impacts the country is likely to experience.
"Extreme weather events, such as droughts and flooding will become more frequent as the wet regions in the west of New Zealand can expect more rainfall and the already dry regions of Canterbury, the far North and the East Cape become drier with significant implications for water resources, increased risk for our climate-sensitive primary industries such as agriculture and horticulture and challenges for hydro-electricity generation," Naish said.
Another climate expert, Judy Lawrence, of the New Zealand Climate Change Research Institute at Victoria, said there was "a significant adaptation deficit" in the country.
Most of the planning to cope with climate change was only conceptual. To adapt to sea-level rise and flooding risk, New Zealand had to be ready to relocate people, invest in flood protection and control land use in risk areas.
"Institutionally our devolved planning system leaves each local government to fend for themselves, without much in the way of centralised support," Lawrence said.
"Scientifically, there is only a patchy picture of where the highest risks lie and who are the most vulnerable.
"Both these issues need to be addressed to assess, efficiently and comprehensively, what is at risk and what range of options there are for addressing the risks."
Climate Change Minister Tim Groser said New Zealand was focused on reducing global emissions. Adaptation was the responsibility of local councils.
"Central government agencies also provide information, guidance and research funding to support adaptation of New Zealand business and infrastructure," he said.
The report's top 10 points:
• IPCC report opens: ''Human interference with the climate system is occurring, and climate change poses risks for human and natural systems.''
• Key risks include: death, injury and disrupted livelihoods in low-lying coastal zones and small island states from storm surges, sea-level rises.
• Systemic risks to key infrastructure networks, including water and power, from extreme weather events.
• Risks also to food insecurity and breakdown of food systems from extreme weather.
• Impacts seen: ''glaciers continue to shrink almost worldwide'', while coral reefs and arctic eco-systems among those already affected.
• Species on the move: while a few recent species extinctions are ''attributed as yet to climate change'', many terrestrial, freshwater and marine species have shifted geographic range and abundance.
• Recent climate-related extremes, such as heat waves, droughts, floods, cyclones and wild fires reveal significant vulnerabilities to both human populations and eco-systems.
• Climate-related hazards exacerbate other stressors, particularly for those in poverty.
• Adaptation is mixed where planning for sea-level rises ''remains piecemeal''. Efforts to cope with reduced water availability more common.
• Economic costs are ''more likely than not'' to be greater than the 0.2-2 per cent GDP range cited. That estimate excludes catastrophic changes, tipping points, among other factors.

In previous years the answer to this has been no as at the time that was the policy of the ASA. In light of recent changes, we will now accept converted Long Course times.
The stipulation of the Swimming Committee is that any converted time MUST be converted using Hy-tek, this will ensure that all conversions are made using the same algorithms.

Comme à Lisbonne
A Lisbon rendez-vous in the centre of Paris. A warm and alluring space that recreates the atmosphere found in the cafes of Lisbon. An ideal place for enjoying the Portuguese delicacy, the pastel the nata. Daily at Comme a Lisbonne, tray after tray of these famous pastries are baked and served-up warm with passion and national pride. Consumed on-site, accompanied by an excellent portuguese coffee or available beautifully packaged for takeaway, these delightful pastries are the perfect gift – if you can part with them!
The pastel de nata is to Lisbon what the macaron is to Paris – symbolic sweetness in a refined pastry. The people of Lisbon have apreciated this delicate, flaky pastry shell filled with an exquisite cream for centuries. They are served lightly powdered with cinnamon, according to taste. For years, Portugal dominated the sugar trade. Departures on these long, dangerous voyages were blessed by the powerful catholic church. In return, the institution received precious commodities – one of which was sugar. Methodical tax collecting ensured church pantries were well stocked with flour and eggs.The whites were used for starching nun's habits and priests' robes and an excess of yolks were left over for the kitchens. This surplus inspired culinary creativity. In the 17th century, word spread quickly around Portugal of a tartelette with a creamy centre being sold by the monks of the Hieronymite Monastery (Mosteiro dos Jerónimos) in the Belem district of Lisbon. Domingos Rafael Alves bought the precious recipe in 1837 and opened the famous bakery that has become a required stop on any visit to the world heritage site monastery. A legend was born!

Upon her marriage to Charles II in 1662, Katherine of Bragança introduced the tradition, which was in vogue at 17th century
A unique, rich and sweet creamy taste. The secrets of Delta cafes are in choosing the best beans in the market and the traditional process of national roasting. Present in more than 40 countries in the world, Delta coffee remains "bica" favorite of the Portuguese.

Vt Supreme Court: UVM doctor not liableThe Associated Press | December 01,2012BURLINGTON The Vermont Supreme Court has ruled that the director of the University of Vermonts student health center was not legally liable for the actions of a physician assistant who improperly prescribed opiate medications to 12 students.
The courts decision affirms a ruling by the state Medical Practice Board that cleared Dr. Jon Porter in his oversight of a longtime physician assistant.
Porter was accused of failing to supervise Peter Nobes, who refilled opiate prescriptions supposedly lost or stolen, and prescribed opiate medications to students without evidence that a physical exam or a visit had occurred.
The board rejected a recommendation that Porter be found guilty of unprofessional conduct but not face any disciplinary action.

It was an ordinary evening, when Grace watched TV and her young tenant roamed around trying to find some pastime. Suddenly he approached her from behind and pushed his hand into her bra trying to touch her nipple with the tip of his pointer. Grace tried to resist him, but she was too weak to overpower the ruggedly built fucker so soon he stripped her off and banged her snatch yelling with pleasure.

SEBI revokes curbs against Dalal Street Investments
Mumbai: Market regulator SEBI Thursday revoked restrictions imposed on Dalal Street Investments, its directors and promoters, saying that the company has complied with the minimum public shareholding norms.
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) had imposed various restrictions on 105 firms including Dalal Street Investments and their promoters and directors on June 4, 2013 after the expiry of deadline for achieving minimum public shareholding of 25 percent.
The regulator had frozen the voting rights and corporate benefits of promoters and directors of these companies and barred them from holding any new position on boards of listed firms.
It had also warned of further actions including levy of monetary penalties, initiation of criminal proceedings and restricting the trading activities of related stocks.
SEBI said in its order that "...Hereby revoke(s) the directions issued vide the interim order dated June 4, 2013 against the company, Dalal Street Investments Ltd, its directors, promoters and promoter group, with immediate effect."
According to SEBI, Dalal Street Investments had adopted the route of issue of equity shares on rights basis to non- promoters and that on July 20 this year, the company had allotted 90,074 equity shares to the non-promoter shareholders of the company.
Pursuant to that, the promoters' shareholding was reduced to 57.12 percent.
"As per the shareholding pattern of the company as on July 26, 2013, available on the website of the BSE, I note that the public shareholding in the company is at 42.88 percent," SEBI's Whole Time Director Prashant Saran said.

Lou Piniella set for Hitters Hall of Fame
So Lou Piniella thinks he's a HOF manager. (Ralph Houk fires loose Kubekian pebble)

I sure wouldn't put him in but I never was a fan of his. LaRussa I disliked, but he clearly knew what he was doing with 3 WS titles and 12 first place finishes. Pinella has 6 division titles and 1 WS despite having a team that once had A-Rod, Griffey Jr, Edgar Martinez, and Randy Johnson - 4 likely HOF'ers - all in their primes. Just twice with 95+ wins in 23 seasons. LaRussa was over 100 4 times and 95 5 more times over 33 years. Cox cracked 100 6 times, 5 more at 95+. Torre 4 100 game winners, 6 more 95+ winners. Cito Gaston, who also retired at the same time, has 2 WS wins to go with 2 95+ win seasons and 4 division titles in just 12 seasons.2. Walt Davis Posted: February 01, 2013 at 02:08 AM (#4359823)
I put Pinella well down the manager list.
I think Piniella is aware he's behind LaRussa, Cox and Torre. But he said "if you look at other managers that have gotten in."3. John Northey Posted: February 01, 2013 at 06:23 AM (#4359835)
Which is where we need Dag. But ...
Looking at wins, he's just behind McKechnie and ahead of a ton including LaSorda, Weaver, Williams, Lopez, Herzog.
By win percentage he would seem to be ahead of maybe only Stengel but he's ahead of Leyland (another contemporary) and just .003 behind Williams and less than .01 behind McKechnie, LaSorda, Schoendienst and Griffith.
Playoff appearances are hard to judge due to expansion but then it is also thereby harder to win a pennant and WS as the number of playoff teams increased. Anyway, his 7 playoff appearances tie LaSorda and are ahead of Weaver, Herzog, Williams, Durocher but light years behind Cox, LaRussa, Torre who are the all-time leaders. Still guys like Durocher and Lopez had just 3 and 2 playoff appearances. Durocher had just 1 WS and Lopez had 0.
So he doesn't look obviously out of place among the lower-tier managers -- LaSorda, McKechnie, Williams, Lopez, Durocher and probably a few others. But I'd guess there are a lot of managers who could say that, including Leyland, Johnson and Baker. I suppose expansion has also made it easier to have a long managerial career -- 6 of the top 25 in years managed as recently as 2010. Heck between years and the 162 game schedule, it's 7 of the top 25 in games with Bochy at #22 all-time in games managed and with 6 playoffs, 2 WS and 3 pennants may have a better resume than Piniella.
Gotta be the roids.
Davey Johnson would be an easy choice for me - 6 division titles, 6 second place finishes, 1 3rd place finish as a manager for a full season - 92% of the time in first or 2nd place. 4 of the 5 teams he ran won their division, only the Dodgers didn't and his being fired there made no sense (3rd place year one, 2nd year two with a 9 game improvement then dumped). Just the one WS title, but that kind of regular season record jumps out to me. Still mad at Gord Ash for not hiring him in the winter of 97/98 - wonder how different the Jays history would've been. Sigh.4. Tubbs is Bobby Grich when he flys off the handle Posted: February 01, 2013 at 09:25 AM (#4359875)
Pinella should be eligible for December's Expansion Era HOF ballot along with Cox, Torre, and LaRussa. However, there's good chance Pinella doesn't even make the 12-man ballot since the ballot will already be loaded with impressive newcomers (Cox, Torre, LaRussa-mgr wise) (Dwight Evans, Keith Hernandez, Dave Parker player-wise) and likely holdovers from the previous ballot (my guess Miller, Steinbrenner, Concepcion, Simmons, Tommy John, and Garvey).5. Dag Nabbit at ExactlyAsOld.com Posted: February 01, 2013 at 10:03 AM (#4359904)
I wouldn't be terribly disappointed in Piniella getting in - heck, if you combine overall value as player and manager he'd be an interesting pick - but I wouldn't personally put him in. He's a Hall of Very Good.6. Walt Davis Posted: February 01, 2013 at 09:25 PM (#4360490)
The postseason can be a crapshoot, but if you're a manager w/ a borderline case - like Piniella - that crapshoot can be the difference. (Flags fly forever, after all). Piniella was at his best in the postseason when little was expected of his squad. Those 1990s Reds were big underdogs - but they swept. The 2001 Mariners won 116 in the regular season but played their worst in the postseason. So did the 2008 Cubs, who not only lost, but flat-out choked (every starting infielder makes an error in one game? How often does that happen). For that matter, the 2007 Cubs also choked - they weren't a very good team anyway, but the team played very self-conciously and unsure of itself in the postseason, especially its pitchers).
It could be a coincidence and have nothing to do w/ Piniella, but his two best teams both played their worst in the most important stretch of the season.
So he doesn't look obviously out of place among the lower-tier managers -- LaSorda, McKechnie, Williams, Lopez, Durocher and probably a few others.
Hmmmmmm.... I object to McKechnie being a lower-tiered anything. He's one of the greatest managers in history by any standard. Look at his players and then scratch your head and figure out how he won as many games as he did. Lopez is arguably the greatest short-career manager in history. Actually, I'd put all those guys listed above comfortably above Piniella, except Lasorda. Well, I'd put Durocher above, but maybe not comfortably above. But then again, maybe.
Eh, what do you know about managers? :-)7. Walt Davis Posted: February 01, 2013 at 09:40 PM (#4360496)
I was just going by the counting stats not, y'know, actual managerial ability or anything useful like that.
Speaking of his playing career, Piniella 1973 is "credited" with -3.4 WAR. That's tied for 5th worst since 1901 and is still the Royals' record.
Ooh, you can move them up one if you don't count the Federal League -- yes, we have WAR for the FL it seems. Benny Kauff murderized the FL with 14.5 WAR in its two years. Dave Davenport led all pitchers with 10 WAR thanks to his nearly 400 innings in 1915. He gave up 300 hits ... while having the best h/9 in the league. :-) However, he was so atrocious with the bat (092/157/092) that he gave back 1.2 WAR there.
Here's another one to go with Al Leiter and a few other pitchers. For his career, Davenport was 104/188/123 with about 1 walk per 11 PA. If ever there was a guy you'd throw it down the middle to it's this guy yet he managed to draw walks at a much higher rate than many hitters.
