I'm an aspiring programmer. I'm currently teaching myself Linux and C.
I learned a bit about programming as part of my math minor in college, but I actually majored in English. At the moment I'm much stronger as a writer and editor than as a programmer, but I hope to soon start jumping into open-source projects to expand my programming knowledge.
I also ferment vegetables like a madman.

Midwifery Students as Volunteer Doulas
The Journal of Midwifery and Women's Health published an article about a program utilizing student nurse-midwives as volunteer doulas. I've seen programs similar to this, using nursing students or midwifery students. The program in the article combined the use of community doulas and midwifery students. Having run a volunteer doula service myself I'm usually skeptical of the long term success of such a program. Being a volunteer is not the same as being paid (or getting class credit) for attending a birth. The volunteer has to feel as if the commitment benefits the women being served, and to some extent benefits the doula (or atRead More →

Vietnamese coffee, with a twist
All visitors to Vietnam should indulge in a traditional Vietnamese coffee, ca phe da. Made using coarsely ground roast coffee, drop-filtered into a cup containing a few tablespoons of sweetened condensed milk.
Why condensed milk? When the French introduced coffee to the country in the 1800s, fresh milk was extremely hard to come by, and any milk that could be sourced spoiled quickly in the heat. Condensed milk was a shelf-stable product that would last pretty much forever.
Vietnamese coffee is available just about everywhere in the country, from restaurants to corner stores and street carts. Stir the layered coffee together for a sweet, caffeine-rich hit.
A Champagne by any other name…
So when is a glass of Champagne not a glass of Champagne? When it's a glass of sparkling wine, grown anywhere outside of France's famous Champagne region.
By using a process called methode Champenoise, grapes from Champagne are harvested and pressed before going through a primary fermentation. The brew is then blended and bottled with a pinch of yeast and some sugar for its secondary fermentation (this process is how champagne gets its bubbles).
Bottles are stored horizontally and aged for around 15 months, then manipulated so that the residual yeast (also referred to as lees) settles in the neck of the bottle. The lees are removed, the bottle corked, and voila: Champagne. We'll drink to that.
The sweet delights of Turkey
There are many differing accounts of the origins of Turkish Delight, but all have the same conclusion: the Turkish sweet treat is, in fact, delightful.
Cornstarch and sugar are mixed together to create a gel, then flavoured with rosewater, lemon or Bergamot orange (sometimes chopped dates, pistachios, walnuts or hazelnuts are added too). It was originally called Lokum (or Lokma), from the Arabic Halkum (or Al-Halkum), which translates to "Throat Comfort" or "Morsel of Contentment".
Turkish Delight was the inspiration for jellybeans, and perhaps also for Picasso's Weeping Woman painting; the artist is said to have eaten a square of it daily.

A traffic stop in Kirbyville landed three people in jail after just over 40 grams of methamphetamine and guns were found, according to Jasper County Sheriff Mitchel Newman
The 84th Texas Legislature convened in mid-January, and change has come in the wake of the 2014 elections – but not fast enough to satisfy Tea Party adherents who elected more of their eager partisans to the House and Senate.

Refining giant ExxonMobil, the chief sponsor of the Beaumont Police Department's Cops & Kids program, made a generous and substantial donation to Cops & Kids, which focuses on uniting the youth of Beaumont with law enforcers.
On Feb. 9, ExxonMobil Refinery Manager Fernando Salazar and other refinery representatives joined Chief Jimmy Singletary, Mayor Becky Ames, numerous officers and other friends of the community in the main lobby at BPD to present Cops & Kids representatives with a check for $5,000.

Jeff Samardzija has made 46 appearances in the major leagues the past two seasons, two of them were starts. The 25-year-old Chicago Cubs' right-hander hopes that changes this season.
With the fifth spot in the starting rotation open and another available while Ted Lilly recovers from shoulder surgery, the former No. 1 draft pick should have plenty of opportunity to begin the season as a starter.
"I want to be a starter," Samardzija said Thursday on "The Afternoon Saloon" on ESPN 1000. "April is one thing, but August and September are a little bit different. I feel like I can help this team as a starter for sure. I can pitch deep into games, I'm a young guy, my arm is young so all those things play into my favor. Obviously, it comes down to the team and where everybody fits, if we need another righty in the pen or do we need a setup guy. Time will tell but my first inclination is to be a starter."
After having immediate success out of the bullpen as a rookie in 2008 (2.28 earned-run average in 27 2/3 innings), Samardzija struggled last season, posting a 7.53 ERA in 20 games.
Among Samardzija's competition will be right-hander Carlos Silva, acquired in the Milton Bradley trade, and left-handers Sean Marshall and Tom Gorzelanny.
"It's spring training. That's what we're here for, to figure out who goes where," Samardzija said. "My arm feels great, my body feels great, just hopefully we can get off to a strong start. I think that's what it's all about and really show [manager] Lou [Piniella] that every fifth day he can hand me that ball and be happy with what's going on on the field."

MF4610: One Tractor, Many Jobs
In its heyday a century ago, scores of horses were used to do dozens of jobs at Biltmore. Today, one utility tractor—with 99 HP—performs multiple jobs at one of the country's most beautiful agricultural operations.
Biltmore has long been a Massey Ferguson® customer. Their small fleet includes Massey Ferguson tractors dating back 35 years. The nearly new MF4610 is the most recent jack of all trades making life easier in a diversified operation.
"Masseys are easy to operate and affordable to work on. They do the job," says Kevin Payne, Biltmore's farm manager. "The 1979 MF1100 is as strong as when it was new." And he should know. Payne has worked at Biltmore since the year that MF1100 was purchased.
Payne loves the smooth but powerful shuttle transmission on the MF4610. At Biltmore, Payne and crew can be hauling cattle feed in the morning, cutting thick sudangrass by afternoon and moving rolling chicken coops by evening.
"The shuttle transmission is really nice when you are picking up feed pallets or baling, then loading hay," says Payne. "It is a whole lot quicker doing anything where you are moving from forward to reverse frequently."
The MF4610 does it all with a 3-cylinder engine that generates torque as well or better than comparable 4-cylinder engines. "I use this tractor to disk ground, and it moved through the field like the disc wasn't even back there."

Challenger E Series Makes a Grand Entrance into the Australian & New Zealand Market
How do you get a tractor into the middle of Australia's third largest city? Drive it down a river of course!
The long awaited Challenger E series made a dramatic entrance to the Australian and New Zealand region, surprising a gathering of Challenger Dealers on the banks of the Brisbane River.
Built upon three decades of Challenger's tracked tractor leadership, the industry leading E Series demanded an unveiling that would leave a lasting impression with the dealership team and kick off the launch of this exciting new range with a bang.
Local challenger dealers were invited to a social evening at a restaurant overlooking the Brisbane River in Brisbane's business district. As guest presenters introduced the new ground breaking E Series with informative presentations and videos, Challenger dealers would have been excused for assuming the evening was following a familiar schedule.
Drifting down the river under the cover of darkness, on a barge set up as a stage, the Challenger E series was poised to disrupt that familiarity.
Arriving at its destination with precision timing, the floating E series nudged closer towards the dealer group now congregating on the restaurant's balcony and was revealed in a coordinated show of lights, smoke and the beat of ACDC's thunderstruck.
And thunderstruck the crowd was. The unique unveiling was captured by a contingent of photographers as well as the dealership group and onlookers, with hands quickly diving into pockets in search of iphones to capture the sight.
Speaking after the event, key organiser of the E series launch and Challenger Product Manager Jeremy Duniam said that the evening went as planned.
"There were a couple of dealers that had a suspicion of what was going to happen, but most were stunned when the tractor was lit up and floating only metres from the river bank."
"It was an exciting way to introduce the exciting new Challenger E Series," Jeremy said.
A behind the scenes video of the spectacular unveiling will be available soon on AGCO Blog and www.facebook.com/ChallengerAg
AGCO Brands Win Big at SIMA 2015
This year's SIMA Paris International Agri Business Show was a triumph for AGCO's core brands. Massey Ferguson debuted two new tractors and showcased the MF 5610 tractor that journeyed to the South Pole. Challenger's MT775E was the winner of the "Machine of the Year XXL" award. The new Fendt 300 Vario was named "Machine of the Year" in the category for tractors below 150 hp. And the new Valtra T Series won the "Machine of the Year" award in the 180–280 hp category.
SIMA is one of the largest indoor agricultural industry shows in the world. This year, the event focused on a theme of "Innovation First!" and brought together 1,700 companies from 42 countries with an emphasis on three key topics: people and territories, equipment and crops.
AGCO embraced innovations in communication by sharing this year's SIMA experience through social media. Those who weren't able to attend the show could follow the #AGCO25 hashtag on Twitter and Instagram, and additional news and videos can be found on the company's social media portal created specifically for the event.
AGCO, now in its 25th year as a global leader in the agriculture industry, had a powerful presence at SIMA as an exhibitor. The company is living the "Innovation First!" concept through its cutting-edge Fuse™ Technologies — a platform that brings together machines, technology products, support, training and dealer services to ensure that farmers' operations are optimized, coordinated and seamlessly connected through all phases of the crop cycle.
Workhorses: From MF135 to MF8670
For being named the 2013 Swisher Sweets/Sunbelt Expo Southeastern Farmer of the Year, James Cooley received use of a Massey Ferguson® tractor for one year. He chose the MF8670, known for its continuously variable transmission (CVT), fuel efficiency and comfort.
It is not, however, his first Massey Ferguson. "We love Masseys," says Cooley. "We've got 17 of the old 135s" used for bringing out peaches and light work. For parts, he calls on Nance Tractor and Implements in McConnells, S.C.
Adds Cooley, the vintage workhorse "was Massey's special tractor, Daddy always said. The 135 is a tractor that everybody can drive. It's easy to maintain regarding its parts and availability of them."
As for his new MF8670, which Cooley calls the "Cadillac of tractors," he plans to put it to work preparing peach and strawberry land. "We'll use it for making the soil loose and ready for the roots to spread out on the peach trees," he says. "And we'll use it for fixing the ground for the strawberries.
"The view is remarkable," continues Cooley. "It's a smooth ride and the turning radius is remarkable. And, of course, it [has] unmatched power."

My experience as AGCO's Africa Ambassador at Africa Summit 2015
Written by: Jean Kaahwa, AGCO Africa Ambassador 2015
On the night of 16th January 2015, I said warm goodbyes to my immediate family and they wished me all the best in Berlin, Germany. As I set off to the airport I kept having flashbacks of my journey in the agriculture sector from the time when I was dreaming of turning that idle swamp into a productive fish farm, how the dream materialized, my growth in the agribusiness sector and eventually heading to Berlin as AGCO's Africa Ambassador for 2015.
I travelled from Uganda via Istanbul and was received warmly by a gentleman in Berlin. I was amazed at the beauty and scenery of the city that met me. At the hotel I bumped into Sue Musunga Chuzu, who was AGCO's first Africa Ambassador in 2012, and I immediately felt at home.
I later met the warm and friendly AGCO team and AGCO Africa Ambassador 2014, Joy Jelimo Chelagat as well. Joy and I toured Berlin together the next day and also visited the Africa Summit venue.
On the morning of the 4th AGCO Africa Summit I was nervous. However, I received some encouraging words from Mr. Nuradin Osman, Managing Director Africa and Middle East of AGCO, and Dr. Amrita Cheema, one of the moderators of the conference, just before the program started.
Looking at the conference agenda made me feel like I had to listen to every word spoken as I found the topics and presentations practical, applicable and contextual for the smallholder farmers like me in Africa. Read the rest of this entry »

Microsoft: $99 and we'll de-crud your Windows PC
A little-known Microsoft program to banish crapware from new Windows PCs has come under the spotlight, with the so-called Signature machine scheme offering a shortcut to a cleaner computing experience. The company's efforts to streamline Windows have often put it directly up against its own OEM partners, who milk a little extra profit from each PC sold by cutting deals with software vendors to preload trials and general crapware. Little do most users know, however, that for an extra $99 there's another option.

It really stinks, but summer's almost over and pretty soon you won't be able to wear those cute sundresses and shorts unless you pair them with tights and long-sleeved shirts. But you still have a couple of weeks left to shamelessly rock summer styles – so go for it! Don't forget to pair your fashions with these summer beauty looks.
1. Neon nail polish. Something like Lippmann Collection – Sweet Dreams Nail Lacquer will cheer you up, even if you're dreading going back to school or suffering through colder weather.
2. Chic updos. Sure, you can still rock a pulled-up style in the fall, but your neck might be a lot colder! Break out those braids, chignons and ponytails while you're still prone to sweat.
3. Bright lipstick. This summer was all about shades like orange and fuchsia, which might not mesh so well with fall fashion staples. Pick up a daring shade of Too Faced – Lip of Luxury while it'll still match your style!
4. Self-tanner. Rocking a goddess glow is a bit weird in the winter unless you just came back from a tropical vacation, so use up the rest of your self-tanners now!

Bill Thurston top 2% overall
Bill Thurston (1946-2012)
I'm a professor at Cornell. I've previously been at Princeton, Berkeley, MSRI, and UC Davis.
Mathematics is a process of staring hard enough with enough perseverence at at the fog of muddle and confusion to eventually break through to improved clarity. I'm happy when I can admit, at least to myself, that my thinking is muddled, and I try to overcome the embarrassment that I might reveal ignorance or confusion.
Over the years, this has helped me develop clarity in some things, but I remain muddled in many others.
I enjoy questions that seem honest, even when they admit or reveal confusion, in preference to questions that appear designed to project sophistication.

Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
What is a
Parameters and local variables are allocated on the stack (with reference types the object lives on the heap and a variable references that object). The stack typically lives at the upper end of your address space and as it is used up it heads towards the bottom of the address space (i.e. towards zero).
Your process also has a heap, which lives at the bottom end of your process. As you allocate memory this heap can grow towards the upper end of your address space. As you can see, there is the potential for the heap to "collide" with the stack (a bit like tectonic plates!!!).
The common cause for a stack overflow is a bad recursive call. Typically this is caused when your recursive functions doesn't have the correct termination condition, so it ends up calling itself forever. However, with GUI programming it's possible to generate indirect recursion. For example, your app may be handling paint messages and whilst processing them it may call a function that causes the system to send another paint message. Here you've not explicitly called yourself, but the OS/VM has done it for you.
To deal with them you'll need to examine your code. If you've got functions that call themselves then check that you've got a terminating condition. If you have then check than when calling the function you have at least modified one of the arguments, otherwise there'll be no visible change for the recursively called function and the terminating condition is useless.
If you've got no obvious recursive functions then check to see if you're calling any library functions that indirectly will cause your function to be called (like the implicit case above).
If you have a function like:
Then foo() will keep calling itself, getting deeper and deeper, and when the space used to keep track of what functions you're in is filled up, you get the stack overflow error.
To describe this, I would like to tell you that the local variable are stored in stack if you see in the image you will be able to understand how things are working.
When a function call is invoked by a Java application, a stack frame is allocated on the call stack. The stack frame contains the parameters of the invoked method, its local parameters, and the return address of the method. The return address denotes the execution point from which, the program execution shall continue after the invoked method returns. If there is no space for a new stack frame then, the StackOverflowError is thrown by the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). The most common case that can possibly exhaust a Java application's stack is recursion. In recursion, a method invokes itself during its execution. Recursion is considered as a powerful general-purpose programming technique, but must be used with caution, in order for the StackOverflowError to be avoided. An example that throws a StackOverflowError is shown below:
In this example, we define a recursive method, called recursivePrint that prints an integer and then, calls itself, with the next successive integer as an argument. The recursion ends once we invoke the method, passing 0 as a parameter. However, in our example, we start printing numbers from 1 and thus, the recursion will never terminate. A sample execution, using the -Xss1M flag that specifies the size of the thread stack to equal to 1MB, is shown below:
Depending on the JVM's initial configuration, the results may differ, but eventually the StackOverflowError shall be thrown. This example is a very good example of how recursion can cause problems, if not implemented with caution.
How to deal with the StackOverflowError
Stack overflow means exactly that: a stack overflows. Usually there's a one stack in the program that contains local-scope variables and addresses where to return when execution of a routine ends. That stack tends to be a fixed memory range somewhere in the memory, therefore it's limited how much it can contain values.
If the stack is empty you can't pop, if you do you'll get stack underflow error.
If the stack is full you can't push, if you do you'll get stack overflow error.
So stack overflow appears where you allocate too much into the stack. For instance, in the mentioned recursion.
Some implementations optimize out some forms of recursions. Tail recursion in particular. Tail recursive routines are form of routines where the recursive call appears as a final thing what the routine does. Such routine call gets simply reduced into a jump.
Some implementations go so far as implement their own stacks for recursion, therefore they allow the recursion to continue until the system runs out of memory.
Easiest thing you could try would be to increase your stack size if you can. If you can't do that though, the second best thing would be to look whether there's something that clearly causes the stack overflow. Try it by printing something before and after the call into routine. This helps you to find out the failing routine.
A stack overflow is usually called by nesting function calls too deeply (especially easy when using recursion, i.e. a function that calls itself) or allocating a large amount of memory on the stack where using the heap would be more appropriate.
Like you say, you need to show some code. :-)
A stack overflow error usually happens when your function calls nest too deeply. See the Stack Overflow Code Golf thread for some examples of how this happens (though in the case of that question, the answers intentionally cause stack overflow).
The most common cause of stack overflows is excessively deep or infinite recursion. If this is your problem, this tutorial about Java Recursion could help understand the problem.
Following would give StackOverflowError:
Here is an example of a recursive algorithm for reversing a singly linked list. On a laptop with the following spec (4G memory, Intel Core i5 2.3GHz CPU, 64 bit Windows 7), this function will run into StackOverflow error for a linked list of size close to 10,000.
My point is that we should use recursion judiciously, always taking into account of the scale of the system. Often recursion can be converted to iterative program, which scales better. (One iterative version of the same algorithm is given at the bottom of the page, it reverses a singly linked list of size 1 million in 9 milliseconds.)
Iterative Version of the Same Algorithm:
The term "stack overrun (overflow)" is often used but a misnomer; attacks do not overflow the stack but buffers on the stack.
Here's an example
A StackOverflowError basically is when you try to do something, that most likely calls itself, and goes on for infinity (or until it gives a StackOverflowError).

Moving towards universal health insurance in China: Performance, issues and lessons from Thailand
China is now in the course of implementing a new round of health system reforms. Universal health insurance coverage through the basic social medical insurance system is high on the reform agenda. This paper examines the performance of China's current social medical insurance system in terms of revenue collection, risk pooling, the benefit package, and provider payment mechanisms based on a literature review and publicly available data. On the basis of critical assessment, the paper attempts to address the issues challenging China as it moves towards universal coverage. Focusing in particular on the reform experience in Thailand as it implemented universal coverage, the following policy implications for further reform in China are articulated, taking into account China's particular circumstances: firstly, the gaps in the benefit package across different schemes should be further reduced; secondly, the prevailing fee-for-service payment system needs to be transformed; thirdly, the primary health care delivery and referral system needs to be strengthened in coordination with the reform of the health insurance system; and fourthly, raising the risk pooling level and integrating fragmented insurance schemes should be long-run objectives of reform.

The Silver Screen X-Men are about to get a bit younger.
This according to an article posted this evening on Variety which states that 20th Century Fox has tapped Josh Schwartz, the creator of âGossip Girl,â âThe OCâ and âChuck,â to write and potentially direct a reboot of the X-Men movie franchise under the name âX-Men: First Class.â
Details of the new production are limited at this hour, but according to the report, Fox has been leaning towards a retooling of the franchise using younger versions of the characters introduced in the previous X-Men films, along the lines of those featured in the Marvel Comics series also called âX-Men: First Class."
This move follows the $1.2 Billion dollar success of the first three X-Men films. âX-Menâ (2000) and âX2â (2003) were directed by Bryan Singer. âX-Men: The Last Standâ (2006) was directed by Brett Ratner.
No specific date has been announced for the release of âX-Men: First Class,â although itâs expected sometime in 2010. Mutant fans wonât have to wait long to get their next fix, though, as May 2009 sees the release of âX-Men Origins: Wolverineâ featuring Hugh Jackman in the role he originated in the first three X-Men films. Fox is also developing a stand-alone Magneto feature as well as considering a Deadpool spinoff starring Ryan Reynolds, following the characterâs debut in âWolverine.â

Tuesdays 9.30pm
Charlie Hunnam has captured the attention of audiences and critics in both the United Kingdom and Hollywood with his versatility, talent and charisma.
Following the fourth season of Sons Of Anarchy, Charlie starred in Guillermo del Toro's Pacific Rim. During the previous hiatus, Hunnam starred in Frankie Go Boom, alongside Chris O'Dowd, Lizzie Caplan and Ron Perlman. He also starred in The Ledge with Liv Tyler, Patrick Wilson, and Terrence Howard last year. Before that, Hunnam appeared with Elijah Wood in the independent film Green Street Hooligans about the violent world of soccer hooliganism. He then starred opposite Clive Owen in Alfonso Cuaron's apocalyptic drama Children Of Men.
Hunnam made his big screen debut in the thriller Abandon and continued to gain attention for his performance in the title role of the big screen adaptation of Charles Dickens' novel Nicholas Nickleby, which received a Golden Globe® nomination for Best Picture. He next appeared as Bosie in Cold Mountain for director Anthony Minghella, based on the best selling novel by Charles Frazier.
On the small screen, Hunnam received audience and critical acclaim for his role in the hit British drama Queer as Folk, and the series Undeclared for Judd Apatow early on in his career.
In addition to his acting talents, Hunnam completed his first screenplay, entitled Vlad.

Deadly Mix in Benghazi: False Allies, Crude Video
A new piece of investigative reporting by the New York Times would suggest vindication to some degree of the U.S. government's original explanation of the 2012 Benghazi Attack, which proposed that the attack developed from a spontaneous protest in anger over the anti-Islamic youtube video, Innocence of Muslims. Despite this being the explanation that the intelligence community found most probable given their quick, initial analysis of the empirical data, the government faced much criticism for it. Susan Rice, who might have otherwise became the new Secretary of State, was one individual who got caught in the crossfire. Senator McCain once remarked that, "she has proven that she either doesn't understand or she is not willing to accept evidence on its face. There is no doubt five days later what this attack was and for." But as the NYT indicates, what truly happened there in Benghazi is, "murkier and more complex than initially believed."

we are bacteria all the way down
Some of My Best Friends Are Germs
It is a striking idea that one of the keys to good health may turn out to involve managing our internal fermentation. Having recently learned to manage several external fermentations — of bread and kimchi and beer — I know a little about the vagaries of that process. You depend on the microbes, and you do your best to align their interests with yours, mainly by feeding them the kinds of things they like to eat — good "substrate." But absolute control of the process is too much to hope for. It's a lot more like gardening than governing. The successful gardener has always known you don't need to master the science of the soil, which is yet another hotbed of microbial fermentation, in order to nourish and nurture it. You just need to know what it likes to eat — basically, organic matter — and how, in a general way, to align your interests with the interests of the microbes and the plants. The gardener also discovers that, when pathogens or pests appear, chemical interventions "work," that is, solve the immediate problem, but at a cost to the long-term health of the soil and the whole garden. The drive for absolute control leads to unanticipated forms of disorder.[more inside]

Beyoncé, bionic, isn't used to having her reputation impugned. Vulnerability is not her bag.

Muslim women finally able to embrace manicures thanks to new nail polish that fits religious restrictions
Our take: A polish company has developed a new nail polish that allows oxygen and moisture to penetrate the paint. This new polish will allow Muslim women to exercise their daily prayer and washing rituals without having to remove their polish.
A 'breathable' nail polish, which allows water vapors to pass through to the nail, is causing a stir among devout Muslim women who are unable to wear regular polish because of the washing involved in daily prayers.
Muslims' pre-prayer ritual includes washing the arms and face completely, where water must touch every surface — an impossible feat if a layer of paint is covering the nails.
But Inglot Cosmetics, a company from Poland which is available in the U.S. at Macy's, has released a new line of permeable polish called O2M which will allow Muslim women the freedom to wear polish as they please.

Cholera, a Disease That Keeps Repeating Its History
Medical Author: Charles Davis, MD, PhD
Again, a cholera epidemic strikes a human population. This time the cholera epidemic is in Haiti, a small country that has undergone large disasters. On Jan. 12, 2010, a huge earthquake killed over 300,000 people, leaving Haiti with a huge homeless population and its main city, Port-au-Prince, devoid of most normal services and sanitary conditions. Many city residents left, but the more rural areas were not any better at supplying people with sanitary conditions. Many Haitians simply turned to their largest river in the country for water to drink, bathe, wash clothes, and swim in. This is a perfect environment for the development and spread of cholera and other diseases. As of Oct. 26, 2010, at least 250 people have died from cholera in Haiti.
Researchers speculate that someone imported cholera to Haiti since the disease has not been seen there in over 50 years; bacterial genetic studies are being done at Harvard Medical School to help determine the source. Whatever the source, it is clear that Vibrio cholerae bacteria have arrived and spread widely as the organisms can now even be isolated from river water.
Because the bacteria cause an initial painless watery diarrhea (it appears to resemble "rice water" and smells fishy) and are present in diarrhea fluid often in large numbers, Vibrio strains help spread themselves into the environment. Many "fortunate" patients may have mild diarrhea (about 70%-80%) and not know they have cholera. Others have such aggressive diarrhea (250 ml/Kg fluid loss over 24 hours) that they develop nausea, vomiting, and stomach cramps. These patients quickly become dehydrated and so weak that the ill individuals soil themselves and their immediate surroundings and cannot clean up after themselves. Such patients, unless quickly treated with oral and IV fluids and frequently antibiotics, may die from dehydration (hypovolemic shock) and electrolyte abnormalities. Pregnant females, infants, and small children are more susceptible to severe illness than the general population. Children often appear sleepy and can lapse into a coma. In susceptible individuals, death can ensue in a matter of hours after symptoms appear. In some populations that have not experienced cholera in many years, untreated patients can have a 50% death rate.

Island Summers: Memories of a Norwegian Childhood (Hardback)Tilly Culme-Seymour

'My grandmother bought the island. The year was 1947 and she was thirty-three, a couple of years older than I am now. She was the visionary sort of person who can make something magical out of very little.' From the moment that Tilly's grandmother, Mor-mor, set eyes on the rocky outline of Sm h lmene, it captured her imagination. Legend has it that she bought the island in exchange for a mink coat. Every summer from then on, she and her young family would escape from their life in the English countryside to its rugged outcrops and sparkling waters. Mor-mor loved Sm h lmene fiercely. Lean and chic, she smoked voraciously and would scandalise the local islanders by roaming around naked, flanked by her standard black poodle, Cheri. Her children spent their days running wild, thieving for gull eggs, rowing on the lagoon, and foraging for island raspberries, which Mor-mor would sandwich together with whipped cream to make into a sukkerkake. Thirty-five years later, Tilly spent her first summer on Sm h lmene. Her Mamma kept up the rituals that she herself had learnt from Mor-mor, and Tilly discovered in the island a living link between her family's past and its present. Glittering and bittersweet, this is the captivating story of the women who made Sm h lmene their own: a land of childhood adventures, of magical summers, and of Tilly's first romance.

Ken Burns: Latino community wants detailsHistorians in the News
"We will need enough details before we are able to report back to our community what has changed between this week's announcement and what was said three weeks ago," said Maggie Rivas-Rodríguez, a journalism professor who is a lead organizer of the grassroots network of more than 7,000 individuals and organizations throughout the United States advocating for the inclusion of Latinos in THE WAR. The Defend the Honor campaign, which initiated this effort for Latino inclusion in the WWII documentary, was not included in the negotiations that led to the May 10 announcement by the Hispanic Association of Corporate Responsibility (HACR) and the American GI Forum and Florentine Films, Ken Burns' production company.
PBS President and CEO Paula Kerger stated in an April 20 letter that Burns had agreed to "create new content focused on Latino and Native American veterans" and incorporate it seamlessly within the "footprint" of the existing film. Leaders of the campaign requested specific details on how this would be accomplished to gauge how significant a presence Latino veterans would have in the film and how fairly the subject matter would be treated.
"Dialogue and an 'understanding' between Burns and some Latino groups is a welcome development if it brings us closer to our ultimate goal of incorporating the Latino perspective," said Rivas-Rodriguez, who also directs the U.S. Latino & Latina World War II Oral History Project at the University of Texas at Austin. This project has videotaped interviews with over 550 men and women across the country, documenting the contributions and unique experiences of various Latino ethnic groups, who often faced segregated public institutions while defending their country.
The Defend the Honor campaign first met with Kerger and PBS officials on March 6, at the PBS headquarters in Arlington, VA. When the PBS response to the campaign was negative, the group enlisted the support of several other organizations. After a series of missteps, PBS and Burns agreed to incorporate Latinos into the WWII documentary on April 17. But in later news stories, Burns appeared to lean away from any substantial changes that would involve changing his documentary.
This week's development indicates Burns has softened his position, but details of the changes he is proposing are vague.
"As we've said before, the devil is in the details," said Marta Garcia, a New York-based representative of the Defend the Honor campaign, and the Co-Chair of the New York Chapter of the National Hispanic Media Coalition.
A letter from the Defend the Honor Campaign's letter to Kerger on Friday, May 11, seeks answers to questions posed then, which Burns and Kerger previously said they needed more time to answer.
THE WAR is scheduled to air beginning September 23, during Hispanic Heritage Month.
