News 12 First at Five / Monday, July 29, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- Next week you could start getting an extra trash pickup day depending on where you live in Augusta, but that extra day of service will cost you.
Augusta commissioners continued talks about missed pickups, adding a second hauler and how the fees are charged.
"I don't feel very good about this. I'm a citizen of Richmond County and I pay the same tax everyone else does," said Augusta resident Beaurine Wilkinson.
Wilkinson went a whole month without trash service and has the pictures to prove it.
"I was told they could not pick up anything but my trash and recyclables," Wilkinson said.
"They're not small issues, but I hope we can deal with them," said Commissioner Alvin Mason.
Even though his company was left out of the city contract, Augusta Disposal Owner Bill Polonus tells commissioners trash is his specialty.
"I don't think they can't tell me I can't do it. I think it's free enterprise," he said.
Polonus plans to offer a second day of service. His company is getting tons of calls about missed pickups.
"If your pickup is on Monday with the city, we will be there Thursday. We will come back Thursday to get the garbage. If your pickup is Tuesday, we will come back on Friday," Polonus said.
John Edward Olinzock says some of his neighbors are paying different amounts for trash service. Leaders say they'll correct that with technology, a new system of garbage cans with microchips.
It's all an effort to make sure nobody gets left out. Contact Augusta Disposal Recycling for more information about pricing at (706) 860-2208.

MUMBAI: The amnesty scheme for Service Tax defaulters, christened Service Tax Voluntary Compliance Encouragement Scheme, has not taken off, as the trade and industry await more clarity.
A major hurdle that precludes service tax defaulters from disclosing under the scheme is the fear that if their disclosures are rejected by service tax officials, the information in the disclosure could be used against them, in the form of a notice demanding interest and penalties on the basis of the undisclosed income offered in their disclosures. Sachin Menon who heads the Indirect Tax division at KPMG said: "There is an apprehension that if the disclosure is rejected by the service tax authorities, the amount paid can be forfeited by the authorities. So, there is great need for the government to revisit some of the provisions of the scheme to make it successful".

NEW CASTLE — Attorney Joseph Wisniewski Jr. was attending a holiday party at the Wentworth by the Sea hotel in December 2010, when he fell down two stairs and broke his leg, leading to his death two years later, according to a lawsuit filed by his widow.
Through Manchester attorney David Nixon, Wisniewski's wife, Janine Gawryl, filed the wrongful death suit against the parent company for the hotel in Rockingham Superior Court. Nixon said he has "two pounds of paperwork" that link Wisniewski's broken femur from the fall, to his Sept. 13, 2012 death at age 64.
Representing the Wentworth, attorney Tom Keane said he had not yet seen the civil suit and therefore, had no comment. The Wentworth has until June to respond to the suit, according to court records.
Dated March 18, the lawsuit alleges Wisniewski and his wife, who is also an attorney, were attending a Christmas party at the hotel for his wife's law firm on Dec. 11, 2010, the night he was injured. The couple had rented a third-floor guest suite, where Wisniewski fell down two steps that were located between a hallway and a living area and were "difficult to see," according to the suit.
The Wentworth was negligent, the suit alleges, because it failed to light the area near the stairs and failed to provide a handrail. As a direct result, according to the suit, the couple incurred "substantial expenses" for medical care, therapeutic treatment, a funeral, costs for administering Wisniewski's estate, and suffered "hedonic damages" for the loss of his life.
The suit also seeks damages for the widow's "loss and diminution" of her late husband's "companionship, services, love and affection." Because of the leg injury, which Nixon said ultimately led to Wisniewski's death, his wife assumed the role "of a nurse rather than a loving wife."
Nixon said Wisniewski was "not in good health" before the fall and that after the fall, "he never came back." According to Wisniewski's obituary, he retired from practicing law in 2002, "due to medical reasons."
"He was a nice fella, so we're going to do what we can for him," Nixon said.

Ahead of the meeting in Vienna, Iran again ruled out suspending its uranium enrichment program, as demanded by the UN Security Council.
Larijani, who serves as Iran's top nuclear negotiator, is expected to meet in Portugal on June 23 with the European Union's foreign policy chief, Javier Solana, for talks on ways to settle the standoff over Iran's nuclear program.
Iran's Interior Minister Mostafa Purmohammadi says Tehran has 100 kilograms of enriched-uranium material in storage -- or about 20 percent of what is needed for one nuclear bomb.
The ISNA news agency reports that Purmohammadi made the claim in a speech in southwestern Iran on June 21.
Uranium enrichment is a process to make fuel for nuclear power plants that can also provide material for atom bombs.

Haiti Downgraded to Tier III in 2016 Human Trafficking Report
By Bryan Schaaf on Friday, July 1, 2016.
see more topics in:
Haiti was downgraded to Tier III status in the U.S State Department's 2016 Human Trafficking Report. This means it neither complies with minimum standards in prevention and response nor has it made significant progress to do so. What Haiti needs to do to improve, including by strengthening the justice system, is quite clear although political instability (as in previous years) is an obstacle to progress. The Haiti portion of the report follows. Read more »
U.S. State Department Releases 2014 Trafficking in Persons Report
By Bryan Schaaf on Monday, July 7, 2014.

Last month, the U.S. State Department released the 2014 Trafficking in Persons Report. As in previous years, the report noted serious shortcomings in the Haitian government's efforts to prevent and respond to human trafficking. There is some good news, though - in 2014 the Haitian government enacted a law to criminalize human trafficking which is a welcome and much-needed step. The country narrative for Haiti follows below.

State Department Releases 2011 Trafficking in Persons Report
By Bryan Schaaf on Wednesday, June 29, 2011.

Earlier this week, the U.S. State Department released its 2011 annual report on human trafficking. While Haiti does have institutions devoted to protecting children, such as the Haiti National Police Brigade for the Protection of Minors (BPM), they lack resources and capacity. For the immediate future, trafficking prevention and response will remain driven by non governmental and international organizations. However, the Haitian government can make a major contribution by passing legislation that criminalizes sex trafficking and forced labor. The portion of the report devoted to Haiti follows below.

Background on human trafficking in Haiti and the Dominican Republic can be found in the 2010 Trafficking in Persons Report.
Trafficking, Sexual Exploitation of Haitian Children in the DR on the Rise
By Bryan Schaaf on Sunday, October 24, 2010.
see more topics in:
Below is an article by Gerardo Reyes and Jacqueline Charles of the Miami Herald concerning human trafficking and sexual exploitation of minors in the Dominican Republic, both of which have increased since the January earthquake. Human trafficking occurs on both sides of the border. It will take a sustained, joint effort to ensure that migration is humane, orderly, and that minors are not being exploited as they are now. As the article makes clear, this will require tackling corruption within the border authorities. For more information, take a look at the U.S. State Department's latest Trafficking in Persons (TIP) reports for the Dominican Republic and Haiti. Read more »
U.S. State Department Releases 2010 Human Trafficking Report
By Bryan Schaaf on Monday, June 14, 2010.
see more topics in:
The U.S. State Department released its 2010 Annual Report on Human Trafficking today. Haiti remains a source, transit, and destination country for human trafficking. The most significant trafficking issue concerns restaveks – forced domestic servitude of young children given to (mostly) urban families by parents (mostly) from rural areas with larger families. An estimated 225,000 children were enslaved as restaveks prior to the 2010 earthquake. Even more children are vulnerable to exploitation in the earthquake's aftermath. Below is the Haiti section of the report, which includes recommendations for the Haitian government and the international community. Read more »
U.S. State Department Releases 2009 Human Rights Report for Haiti
By Bryan Schaaf on Friday, March 12, 2010.
see more topics in:
Each year, the U.S. State Department Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor is mandated to release country specific human rights reports that address individual, civil, political, and worker rights, as set forth in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. As this report pertains strictly to 2009, it does not address human rights issues in post earthquake Haiti. Still, it is highly relevant as long term recovery and reconstruction will depend in part upon creating a culture that respects human rights and a government that can enforce them. Read more »
State Department Releases 2009 TIP Report: Haiti and the DR
By Bryan Schaaf on Monday, June 22, 2009.
see more topics in:
Human trafficking is a global problem that affects every country in the world. Last week, the U.S. State Department released its 2009 annual report on how well partner governments are preventing and responding to human trafficking. Understanding trafficking in Haiti requires understanding the situation in the Dominican Republic. Neither country complies with minimum standards for eliminating trafficking, although both governments acknowledge the need to do more. This is an issue that clearly requires cross-border collaboration. Read more »

Hi Ted and anyone else interested I just read a good article on Footballfancast.com, look up the Spurs page. Good article about HR entitled "a bit rich to blame tottenham isn't it?"
Certainly puts it better than I.
Great article. thanks. Is there any real evidence the FA were ever seriously considering Redknapp for England manager? It seems he himself was the one talking it up more than anyone else. And now he says he was surprised to be sacked by Spurs, well he shouldn't have been.

Solving a linear system of equations is one of the easiest computational tasks imaginable, but when the matrix is very large, the algorithms we learned in linear algebra class take too long, and we need to use a different type of method. In this homework assignment, we investigate these iterative methods.

This statement boils down to 'not competing for ressources is more
graceful than competing for ressources'. But if application A is so
much more important than application B that the latter should always
fail if the former is active, why the heck are they running
concurrently and compete for ressources in the first place?
Judging from the other end: If application A needs several hours to
complete, why should it voluntarily refuse to work because of a
condition that was true at the time someone wanted it to work, but may
no longer be true several hours later?

Title: Turbulence in solar wind and astrophysical plasmas
Astronomy Spring Colloquia March 27, 2012 Tuesday, 4:30pm-5:30pm, Peyton Hall auditorium:
Turbulence is complex nonlinear dynamical behavior of a fluid system, whether it be hydrodynamic, magnetohydrodynamic or plasma. These models describe the solar wind, solar corona, planetary magnetospheres, interstellar medium, ionosphere, and related flows in many astrophysical venues. Turbulence involves interaction of many degrees of freedom and broadband couplings across wide ranges of space and time scales. The phenomenon is partially described by wavenumber and frequency spectra, which make it possible to distinguish between waves and turbulence, and to understand the anisotropy of fluctuations. However this description cannot be complete. Nonlinear interactions cause self-organization through relaxation processes, and from this emerges coherent structure, non-Gaussian distributions and intermittency, which can be revealed using conditional statistics. Examples are channeling or dropouts of energetic particles, and nonuniform, patchy heating. These theoretical aspects of dynamical turbulence will be illustrated using numerical simulations, and observed properties of the solar corona, solar energetic particles, solar wind observations and laboratory experimental data.

Definition of serology in English:
The scientific study or diagnostic examination of blood serum, especially with regard to the response of the immune system to pathogens or introduced substances.
Example sentences
- If susceptibility or recent infection is indicated by serology, weekly ultrasound examinations should be performed for four to eight weeks after exposure (or two to six weeks after infection) to detect hydrops.
- Rheumatologists tend to rely on clinical signs, symptoms, and serology, whereas neurologists rely more on histopathology in order to exclude other myopathies.
- Other frequently performed tests included histopathologic studies on tissues, blood typing, syphilis serology, and 2 components of drugs of abuse testing.
- Example sentences
- In equivocal cases or when a patient has been on a gluten-free diet, a gluten challenge test may be used to provoke the gastrointestinal lesion and serologic response.
- When the diagnosis of gluten-sensitive enteropathy is suspected, serologic tests can identify many affected patients.
- Pregnant women who have been exposed to parvovirus should undergo serologic testing.
serological adjective
- Example sentences
- Children who present with overlapping features of both nephrotic and nephritic syndromes should undergo thorough serological testing to narrow down the differential diagnosis.
- Early intervention using more sophisticated screening tests, serological measures, or novel biophysical parameters needs to be explored.
- Relegated to serological realms, and with medical practitioners generally using saline, blood-typing was virtually ignored by clinicians.
serologically adverb
- Example sentences
- It also ensures that proper counseling, medical referral, and evaluation are targeted for patients with serologically confirmed HCV infection.
- We describe a 38-year-old man suffering from serologically confirmed psittacosis.
- All previously unvaccinated household and sexual contacts of persons with serologically confirmed hepatitis A should receive immune globulin.
- Example sentences
- The commission included internationally known forensic serologists who made heroic efforts to validate the blood, but all of the microscopical, chemical, biological, and instrumental tests were negative.
- The experts reviewed the work of the serologist, and found his conclusions to be scientifically unsound.
- Representatives paid a surprise visit to his lab to confiscate his samples, then gave them to two late additions, neither of whom was a forensic serologist or a pigment expert.

Which Teams Strengthened?
Which of our opponents have strengthened their squads and so pose the greatest threat to us, or have the best chance of overall improvement?
CFC is obvious, but we can't all go out and do our best to buy the league! But Maureen has to keep those egos in check (along with his own), which could be difficult now that Lampard has competition for his position!
Other than CFC's buys and Rosicky at Arsenal, I haven't heard much else SO FAR that concerns me.
As for the teams lower down that could improve, I hope Everton do well again and qualify for Europe via the league, preferably the CL at the expense of Man. Utd. You've got to have a dream!Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies

In terms of signings the fun really starts now and will heat up significantly after the Italy thing is finished. I am sure Arsenal will hang onto Fabregas abd perhaps get Ribery and Saviola, ManU I think are will sign Carick but god only knows what will happen there and Chelsea will as usual sign whoever they want to. We'll see how we go, Arsenal (my side) I think will certianly be stringer next year... but then again everyone will have their sights set higher.

I had to throw it away. Sooo I tried to get creative today... I mixed an apple/cinnamon porridge pack with 80 mls of warm water, mixed it up into a ball and then divided it into 3 cookies (sorry I am American) or biscuits to you Brits . I patted them down to look like cookies and put them on a tray and baked them for about 10 minutes, until the edges browned. I think an average oven temp will do... I gotta say, they are not bad at all. Certainly nice to chew something! I am just having my cookies with a cup of coffee! PS I tried to upload a photo, but can't. PPS I am on 810, but it's one for all.

I have used approximately 3 parts dried pine needles to one part peat, with a 10mm top layer of fresh (green at time of planting) pine needles. I've used an 18cm tall pot, which is standing in approximately 2.5cm tray of deionised water. I have noticed a oil film forms on the surface of the water, which must come from the needles. The VFT was taken out of my bog garden, where is wasn't doing well. The young growth that you see in the centre of the plant has developed since potting in the pine needles on 24th August 2011. It is under 35W of metal halide lighting.

Farmers eager for Liberty plant
LIBERTY — Farmer Wade Sauchuk has waited a decade while Sullivan County seemingly spun its wheels trying to build a red meat processing plant.
And as each year passed, the promise to local farmers seemed just out of reach.
But at the long-awaited groundbreaking on Thursday, Sauchuk couldn't have been happier.
"I delivered cattle today — it was an 80-mile round trip," said the fourth generation farmer on Aden Road in Liberty. "My butcher is in Pennsylvania. I could double my herd if there is a facility 3.5 miles from my farm."
About 40 people attended the ceremony under a tent. And as county and Liberty officials plunked a single golden shovel in the ground, a large excavator dug out the slope above where the slaughterhouse will be located.
A decade in the making
The steeply sloped site is in a deserted part of town, near Liberty's wastewater treatment plant.
The project has been a decade in the making.
The Sullivan County Industrial Development Agency took over from a development corporation about six years ago. The vast majority of the project is paid through grants.
$1.6M project
About $1.1 million of $1.6 million project cost is in the site work. The land is suitable for no other purpose, virtually unbuildable. An excavator will have to drop the elevation of the slope anywhere from 8 feet to 38 feet.
But officials like the location because it is near the village and yet remote enough — near a defunct chicken plant — that nobody is around to complain about it.
"It is a perfect site for a slaughterhouse," the IDA's attorney Walter Garigliano said.
Garigliano said a 5,250-square-foot slaughterhouse could open as soon as summer.
The IDA still has to find an operator for the plant which will be inspected by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Greg Sandor, executive director of the Cornell Cooperative Extension, said there's an opportunity for farmers to make "value added" meats, such as smoked products and specialty items.
Sauchuk said smaller farmers have been clamoring for a place to bring their cattle. He has 22 cows and is already making plans to expand. Dairy and vegetable farmers can now raise a few head of cattle to make some extra money.
"Once it gets up and going, I don't think they will be able to keep up," he said.

Bush will announce later today a plan for helping low-income homeowners curtail foreclosure. [NYT]
He is going to completely undermine FHA. How do you expand criteria? Im ok with larger loan limits, but if you create a "subprime" FHA you will undermine the whole system. There is a company that does that in Maryland, and they have filed for BK twice already.
The whole point of DTI caps on FHA was to minimize foreclosures, and put people into houses they can afford.
Oh wait, that is scheduled for later this year.
Anyone want to bet that his plan consists of tax cuts for people about to face foreclosure? I will give you good odds.
Of course, the fact that low income people pay very little, if any, federal tax will not be part of the speech.
Maybe the government could let them delay paying federal taxes this year until next year. This extra money could be used to make the increased mortgage payments. However; next year you would have to pay both years taxes, plus you would get charged 1.5% a month on the taxes owed. Cmon you people that don't understand mortgages and interest, its only 1.5% a month!
Yeah but remember if the President does this it's not a bailout. Thats only if a Democrat did this.
Figure out a way to get people out of their mortgages without destroying their credit. Don't give them a handout to subsidize a house that they can't afford and should not own.
Why should they have a nicer house than me when I can actually afford to pay for mine?
The Buffalo housing court has a novel solution.
Any bank with current judgements against it cannot foreclose on more properties until all fines are paid and all properties are brought up to code.
Granted, this only works in a place like Buffalo, where the housing exceeds demand.
And, it's an indirect subsidy to the irresponsible lenders, merely laundered thru the borrowers. Darwin rules.
@trai_dep: Darwin rules? Is this some new Darwinist theory, "Survival of the Crookedest?" If Darwin were to rule, the people who couldn't figure their own budgets and pay their mortgages would go broke, and shady mortgage companies carrying lots of high-risk mortgage would go out of business, and the scummiest of all, the mortgage brokers who SOLD the risky loans to buyers and had them underwritten to stupid lenders would get off scot free. Oh, wait… isn't that what's happening?
These various buyout and assistance plans are anti-Darwinist. If I were emperor I'd force the brokers, mortgage holders and homeowners to all share in the financial pain. Mortgage holders would be forced to renegotiate to more equitable terms, homeowners would be forced to pony up as much of what they owe as they can possibly afford, and mortgage brokers would have to return some of their profits where it can be shown that they acted to get loans underwritten that shouldn't have gone through. Everyone loses, but just a little, fewer houses are foreclosed, the economy takes less of a hit, and the news outlets would be able to scream about me being a socialist emperor instead of about the mortgage companies bringing about the end of the world.
@Eric: Don't be silly. The tax cuts are for bankers and CEOs who will magically funnel the money to the poors through the stock market. Don't you know how economics works?!
@Eric: "Anyone want to bet that his plan consists of tax cuts for people about to face foreclosure? I will give you good odds."
You are not cynical enough. Those about to face foreclosure are not rich enough to deserve a tax cut.
Instead, Bush will suggest tax cuts for the rich in the theory that the rich will then have more money left over to lend to poor homeowners.
Just leave it alone. The market is correcting itself, it doesn't need any intervention.
Is there anything more Bush could do to ruin the economy? Lots, I'm sure.
We as a society have passed the last exit to Sanity several miles ago, yet we are headlong into solving the next of our ills.
13% of the Mortgage market is subprime. of those 14% are in default, so it the whole mortgate pie is 100, the ammount of impact on the whole of subprime default is 1.8% which is about equal to last years cost of living allowance. Wholes lots ado about nuthin'.
Good point about Bush's change forcing FHA to accept subprime loans, if that's accurate. That's his M.O. Attempt to destroy a functioning, useful, popular gov't program via trojan horse policies. All to further GOP's failed ideology.
Tens of millions of Americans ruined in the process? Hey, omlettes, eggs, people!
Bush will probably just say that people who got subprime mortgages but can't keep up with the payments should sell their children into indentured servitude.
@KernelPanic: For the love of GOD do not ask that question! Never invoke the name of that devil for you might draw attention to yourself and your family :)
But anyway – the system is correcting itself right now. I just hope that when the bubble is fully burst that the housing prices that have been artificially raised through the roof will come back down to something close to normal.
The most ridiculous part is trying to "fix it" so MORE low-income buyers can get in over their heads next year!
Let's see:
He did really well in Iraq.
He did really well in New Orleans.
My guess is, we're heading for a depression. Turn your money into gold NOW.
@Norm_NAv: Except that this is just the tip of the iceberg. For one thing, there are a lot of sub prime loans that will be defaulting very soon, because their payments are about to go up, and they won't be able to refinance because everyone is afraid of sub prime mortgages right now. If the 7 million homes that are predicted to default in the next year, Then house prices will fall, meaning some people's homes will be undervalued, and people can't refinance, because they will be underneath their loan. That means more defaults. This is a slippery slope.
Also, over 140 national mortgage companies have already gone bankrupt. Explain how that's insignificant. Country Wide would have tanked if they didn't get loans from B of A. They own 80% of the US mortgages. If they go down, expect serious repercussions.
What really worries me though, is who is going to get rich in the repairing of this system. I don't want some plan that involves giving really cheap money to mortgage companies so they can buy all these loans to save people, only to run away with bags full of money and power to dictate the market when things get smooth again.

When the book "Carl XVI Gustaf – the reluctant monach" is now released, the monarch's private life is scrutinized. Speculation about who he was partying with, whom he flirts with and what he might do at his spare time will rise. Unfortunately, this will once again obscure the important issues, namely what role the monarch, Carl XVI Gustaf, has played as the Head of state in Sweden.
"The King shall rule the country alone" This phrase comes from the 1809 Swedish constitution and was in force until 1969 when the decision to let the principles of parliamentarism to rule Sweden was finally made. (Even though the real political power had already for a long time been in the hands of the democratically elected parliament and government).
As late as World War II, the King Gustaf V acted on his own, and in particular tried make peace between Britain and the then victorious Nazi Germany, and he also pressed for allowing the transit of German troops through Sweden.
So the royals have, even in modern times, influenced political events in Sweden. But with the Constitutional reform 1974, the monarch was left without formal power and authority as part of the so-called Torekov compromise between the social democrats and the non-socialist parties. Thus Sweden differs from other countries where the monarch had important tasks such as, for example, to propose head of government to Parliament or appoint provincial governors or other officeholders.
Not without influence
But few are aware of the importance of the Swedish monarch. He actually affects politics and economics in a fundamental way, through his actions – or non-action. His representative and ceremonial functions may seem innocent, but still has some significance. The state visits may have political impact, which was shown by the notorious statement about how democratic the Sultan of Brunei really was. The king can also to some extent select what countries and which heads of state to visit as well as the timing, which can be important.
Major policy issues are also presented for the king at the cabinet meetings, or privately with the Prime Minister and Chairman of the parliament. This gives the king, in full accordance with the Constitution, access to information that may be valuable and used in other contexts.
Add to that a couple of possibilities to influence politics in a more informal way. To understand the king's influence in Sweden, one must also know that the royal family has a strong grip on our minds. The reactions after the king's speech after the tsunami disaster is an example, but also his views on environmental issues at different times. So the king has a strong position as a kind of lobbyist for certain issues.
"The unknown power elite"
The Focus magazine review of King's networking (in Swedish) with others in the power elite in Sweden also showed extensive social interaction and contacts with other people in power with the aim of consolidating the royal family's position. Economically, the royal house have considerable value as a brand at the world market where such things as monarchy and a Royal Court is often seen as quaint and amusing. Therefore the state visits are accompanied by CEOs and directors and mostly from the largest companies. Two groups were identified by the Focus magazine as particularly well integrated in the King's network and favored with trips, medals and royal hunting trips: people in the forest industry and the Wallenberg sphere.
Incidentally about the same circles that seemed settled close to the royal family network as early as 40 years ago when the famous journalist Åke Ortmark made a serious study of this. His book on "The unknown power elite" put the finger on the status and power of the royals in the contemporary society. The parallels with our time are often striking.
Wrong focus in the media coverage
Now there is a critical book on the current king "Carl XVI Gustaf - the reluctant monarch." It seems from the headlines to be of the more sensational than serious nature, however. The authors seem to have done a real attempt to prove all the rumors circulating around the monarch's private parties and extramarital relations. The sources are however in many cases anonymous and impossible to control and in other cases as credible as criminal strip club- and blind pig-owners tend to be…
The critical examination of the king and royal family is therefore still lacking. The power and the influence that is connected to the monarchy is more important than his private sins and should rather be discussed. Will it happen during this debate?

Crucell lays off 60 Berna people
London – The Dutch vaccine developer Crucell NV will be concentrating its research and development activities at its headquarters in Leiden. The restructuring will result in the laying-off of 60 Berna staff in Bern. At the end of last year, the Belgian biotech company overtook its Swiss rivals Berna Biotech in an all-stock deal. The decision came after clinical studies for the company's lead product, a vaccine candidate for the prevention of an Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection, were suspended. During the meger talks, Crucell had calmed opposing Berna stockholders with the promise that it would maintain the staff in Bern. With the new growth potential that the two companies now possess, an extension in the number of staff in Bern would be possible, said Crucell, before the merger was completed.

Nicholls track heading to LSU
Published: Friday, January 22, 2010 at 10:14 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, January 22, 2010 at 10:14 a.m.
THIBODAUX — After a strong showing at the 2010 Leonard Hilton Memorial in Houston last weekend, the Nicholls State women's track and field team returns to action at the 2010 Purple Tiger Classic at LSU today. Nicholls will probably face its toughest field to date when it lines up against host LSU (ranked No. 3 in the nation) as well as traditional SEC power Mississippi State, defending Southland Conference champion Stephen F. Austin and Conferene USA powers such as Southern Miss and Tulane.
"There's a lot of good competition at this meet," NSU coach Scott Williamson said. "This will give our team a chance to see where it stacks up when they line up against teams like LSU."
With the 2010 SLC Indoor Track and Field Championships looming next month, the Colonels continue to emphasize progress over race results.
"This isn't a traditional meet," Williamson said. "This meet has a lot of events that you don't normally see at a track meet. We will have a lot of women competing in events that we don't normally ask them to. The idea is to get everyone through this meet healthy, treat it as a type of training event where we can work on a few different things and keep us progressing toward the conference championships at the end of February. We want to compete as well as we can, but we don't want to be running our fastest right now. We
