You will have good time if you go here. Must make reservations well in advance.
We had a reservation for two on a Sunday night, but when we arrived the place was a little empty but there were people at the bar. So we just ate and drank with Dan behind the bar. We ordered 6 small plates and 1 entree to share and tried some wines and cocktails. Total tab with tip for nearly 3 hours of dining and drinking was $250. A bit pricey, but the food and drink was totally worth it, sometimes you have to pay for quality.
Our dinners were absolutely delicious. If you're looking for a steak or pasta dish you might want to check elsewhere. Their menu is on-line, so check it our first. While it's limited to 8-10 items (entrees) they offer unique combinations. Well worth finding this place.
We planned a surprise dinner party here for my sister-in-laws 30th birthday, and it was fantastic! We ended up being rather late due to a delay with the limo that was taking us there; we called and the restaurant was very accommodating. They joked with us when we arrived about being so late, but were very friendly and never threatened to give up our table or made us feel bad about being so late. Having worked many years in the restaurant industry, I found that they handled our tardiness exceptionally.We had a party of 10, and probably had most of the main dishes on the menu at the table. No one was disappointed. In fact, my brother said that the Cobia was the best fish he has ever had, which is saying something for someone who lived on the east coast and has had his fair share of excellent seafood. They had a short rib special which was phenomenal as well. As far as appetizers, you cannot go wrong with the beef tartar and lobster pizza. Our server was excellent. I believe his name was Nick, if my memory serves me correctly. He was knowledgeable about the drinks (great mixed drink list!) and food, and he was very helpful and patient with answering questions and helping people with decisions when asked. He was professional, but not stuffy as I find sometimes servers can be at nicer restaurants. He joked with us, came across as genuine, and made us feel very welcome.Overall, I highly recommend Blue 13. It is a bit pricey, but I would say definitely worth it, especially compared to other restaurants in the city at this price point. Great place for a special occasion!
I was with a group of 6 people in late November. We ordered and split most of the appetizers and desserts. My favorite appetizers were lobster pizza --it sounds weird and I'm not a huge pizza fan but this was fantastic--and the fruits de mer, including grilled octopus (which I am also not usually fanatic about.) For the entree most of us had the short ribs, which were recommended and were tender as butter. My favorite desserts were the chocolate brownie and the apple cobbler. The "donuts" (beignets) were also quite good. Everything was well prepared. The restaurant itself is small to medium, warm and cozy.

Toronto Blue Jays News
After losing the first of three games against the Yankees, the Toronto Blue Jays won the next two. In game 2, the Blue Jays came back from behind to beat the Yankees to win 12-6. In the sixth inning, the Blue Jays scored four runs to get within two of the Yankees, and then they secured their win with an eight run eighth inning. The next night, the Blue Jays led early and maintained the lead to win 7-4. With these wins, the Blue Jays are back on top of the AL East. They next head to Cleveland to play three games against the Indians starting on August 19. You can still get tickets for $28 and up.

The Toronto Blue Jays are making a strong case for a playoff run in recent matches, except for one absolutely humiliating encounter with the Seattle Mariners. Besides the head-scratching 5 - 14 loss at home on July 23, the Blue Jays look poised and ready for post-season. In fact, they made an impressive statement on Tuesday night against the San Diego Padres. The match went into extra innings after being tied 4 - 4. In the twelfth inning, however, the Blue Jays outscored the Padres 3 - 2 to win the game 7 - 6. The home crowd went into an absolute frenzy. Tickets to Friday's match against the Baltimore Orioles start at $29.
Except for one loss against the Detroit Tigers on Saturday, the Toronto Blue Jays are looking unstoppable lately. They have won the last eight out of nine games, including a recent sweep over 2015 World Champions the Kansas City Royals. On Sunday, the Blue Jays all but humiliated the Detroit Tigers when they beat the visiting team 6 - 1. Toronto punctuated the game with two runs in the second and three in the fourth to solidify the victory. Now, however, the Blue Jays will be put to the test on the road. Catch them when they return Friday, July 22 to host the Seattle Mariners. Tickets are $14 and up.
The Toronto Blue Jays may be in third place in the East Division of the American League, but do not count them out as playoff contenders just yet. The Blue Jays boast an impressive 43 wins, which is actually one more than second place team the Boston Red Sox. Division leaders the Baltimore Orioles currently have a 47 - 30 record, which is definitely within reaching distance with half of the season still to go. Toronto's next matchup is with the Cleveland Indians, who will be in town at Rogers Centre through Sunday, July 3. Tickets to the matchup on Saturday are currently available for prices starting as low as $21.
The race for the AL East title is as contested as any division in baseball, and the Toronto Blue Jays are right in the thick of it. As the dog days of summer approach, the Jays' bats might be getting hot at the right time, especially with Josh Donaldson resuming his MVP form. The club has played extremely well in June and will look to keep piling up wins with home series against the Diamondbacks and Indians. Arizona comes to the Rogers Center for a two-game interleague matchup on June 21 and 22, with tickets starting as low as $3. To close out the month, Toronto will host Cleveland for a four-game series, and tickets for the first game start at $4.
Sparking the offense hasn't been easy for the Toronto Blue Jays so far this season, but one strategy in particular helped them take a series against the Twins 3-1 last week. Stacking their three hottest batters at the top of the lineup proved to be just what Toronto needed to help get them over the slump that has them in last place in the American League East. The Blue Jays will have to keep the momentum going, as they are up against the MLB's top team this weekend. The Red Sox will be in town for a three-game series that starts Friday, May 27. Seats at the Rogers Centre are available from us today for just $11 and up.
They've already technically won the series, but the Toronto Blue Jays are looking to go 3-0 in San Francisco this week. After a huge 3-1 win on Monday and a 4-0 shutout victory Tuesday, the Jays are feeling pretty confident they can overcome the Giants and prove any naysayers wrong. Huge performances from pitcher J.A. Happ and slugger Troy Tulowitzki this week have helped propel Toronto to third place in the American League East. Catch the Blue Jays in action next week as they welcome Tampa Bay to the Rogers Centre for a three-game series. The fun starts Monday, May 16, with the first pitch scheduled for 7:07 PM. We have a great selection of affordable seating, with prices starting at just $3 for the upper level.
Trailing to the White Sox by two runs late in the ninth inning Monday night, the Toronto Blue Jays had a prime opportunity to make a rally for the win. With bases loaded, a solid hit from Michael Saunders would give Toronto the potential to overtake the game. Saunders got the hit, but his teammate Troy Tulowitzki accidentally let the bouncer hit him in the arm on his way from first to second, getting Chicago the out that ended the game with a final score of 7-5. Toronto will try to redeem themselves at home with a series against the Texas Rangers beginning Monday, May 2. Tickets are available now and start at just $3!
After a pair of cancelled games, the Toronto Blue Jays ended their Spring Training with a 4-3 loss against the Twins. The relievers saw some action on the mound as the starters rested for the upcoming exhibition games. Ryan Tepera started, and Drew Storen, Gavin Floyd and Roberta Osuna also pitched for a few innings. The team is heading back home with a side trip to Montreal for a pair of exhibition games in Olympic Stadium on April 1 and 2 before heading to Tampa Bay to play the Rays on Opening Day on April 3. Their home opener is on April 8 and 9. You can still get tickets for all games, with prices for the home opener starting at $65.
April is just a few short weeks away and that means that opening day is right around the corner! In the meantime, the Toronto Blue Jays are busy getting ready for the 2016 season with several final spring training games in Dunedin, FL. Their next matchup will be against the Houston Astros on Friday, March 18. Tickets to the practice game are still available for prices starting at $75. Additionally, before the Blue Jays kick things off at home, they'll be taking on the Boston Red Sox on April 1 and 2 in an honorary game at the Olympic Stadium in Montreal, QC. After that, they'll have their first game of the season on April 8.

Join the Jays as They Look to Stay Hot
The Blue Jays won over 90 games in 2015 and had an exciting postseason run. With some new arms in the rotation and some of the biggest bats in the game, the Rogers Center might be a few months away from hosting more playoff action. Now's the time to get your cheap Toronto Blue Jays tickets and watch the homerun onslaught in person.
A Full Season of Tulo
Midseason acquisition Troy Tulowitzki paid off immediately and in impressive fashion. The Jays now have the hard-hitting righty for a full season to complement the other mashers like Jose Bautista and Josh Donaldson. Buy your discount tickets ASAP and watch what might be the hardest hitting team in all of baseball.
Josh Donaldson looks to have a repeat season after winning the 2015 American League Most Valuable Player Award. While he narrowly beat out Mike Trout to earn the honor, fans of the club know that it wasn't a fluke; the lefty third baseman will once again be a thorn in the side of righty pitchers throughout the league.
Blue Jays tickets will not be cheap come September. Get discount seats now and take part in the fanfare as Toronto makes another run towards the top of the AL East, a pennant and hopefully the World Series.

Celebrities attend Pete Postlethwaite memorial
nepal Leading actors Daniel Day Lewis and Kevin Spacey have celebrated the life of late actor Pete Postlethwaite at a London memorial service.
Day Lewis, who co-starred with Postlethwaite in the movie "In the Name of the Father," led the addresses at a London church Wednesday and sang to his widow Jacqui.
He spoke of their days training together at the Old Vic Theatre School in Bristol, where his first professional assignment was as Postlethwaite's understudy.
Other guests at the service included British veteran actors Michael Gambon and Julie Walters.
Postlethwaite died at 64 years old last month after a long fight with cancer. His films included "The Usual Suspects," "Inception," and "The Shipping News."

Senator Specter Grants Hearing on Kavanaugh's Nomination
The New York Times editorial board got its wish. Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Senator Arlen Specter has agreed to hold another round of hearings on the appeals court nomination of Brett Kavanaugh.
Specter said he hoped the hearing, to be held next Tuesday, will avoid a filibuster on the Senate floor. A filibuster, said Specter, would create "a very serious threat to our institution." Democrats have threatened to filibuster both the votes on Kavanaugh and Terrence Boyle, a federal trial court judge in North Carolina nominated to the appeals court by President Bush.
Here's the Law Blog post on Kavanaugh from earlier this week and the Washington Post story from today.

"In her terrific book, Kelly Dorfman clearly explains how to decipher the clues to nutritional disorders that affect the body and brain. Parents will find it packed with sound advice and useful information."
—Dr. Maurine Packard, Pediatric Neurologist, New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center
Four-year-old Tom had already seen a neurologist, physical therapist, developmental pediatrician, and speech therapist. None of these medical professionals could find a reason for Tom's insomnia, lack of appetite, extreme mood swings, and propensity to catch every cold and cough going around. Kelly Dorfman spotted the signs of dairy intolerance, and Tom's mother immediately removed milk products from his diet. In less than a week, Tom regained his appetite, slept better, and felt much calmer. After six weeks, he was cured.
Eleven-year-old Gaby was brought to Dorfman's office by her mother, who was concerned about Gaby's constant hunger and large appetite. Gaby claimed to be always hungry and had started to gain weight, and her mother was worried. After speaking with Gaby, Dorfman learned that gluten rich foods were the largest part of her diet, and cheese was her main protein source. By cutting out her high gluten intake, and by increasing her protein and vegetable portions, Gaby's constant hunger (a common symptom of gluten intolerance) was satiated and she felt satisfied after meals.
Today's generation of children has the highest rate of obesity, food allergies, behavioral and emotional disorders, autoimmune disease, and learning issues ever recorded. Dorfman believes this is often related to their diet, making it crucial for parents to learn more in order to help medical professionals help them.
Backed by cutting-edge science and the know-how gained from a 29-year career in clinical nutrition, CURE YOUR CHILD WITH FOOD (Workman Publishing; April 23, 2013; $13.95; Paperback Original) by Kelly Dorfman, MS, LND, reveals the surprising role nutrition plays in healing children's ailments.
CURE YOUR CHILD WITH FOOD is refreshingly unique because it pairs practical, scientifically-supported advice with fascinating case studies that read like medical mysteries. In addition, the book will give you the tools you need to start the conversation about nutrition with your family. As a mother of three, Dorfman understands the challenges parents face and she empowers caregivers to become Nutrition Detectives by revealing simple, practical ways to uncover the clues behind a child's health problems and find an accurate, nutritional treatment immediately.
In this important book, readers will find scientifically supported nutritional solutions that address, mitigate, and sometimes even erase both the symptoms and the causes of stubborn health problems including:
· Picky eating
· Reflux
· Attention problems
· Ear infections
· Temper tantrums
· Behavioral difficulties
· Lack of energy
· Insomnia
· Learning disabilities
· Chronic tummy aches
· Anxiety
· Constipation
· Night terrors
· Eczema
· Depression
· Speech delays
CURE YOUR CHILD WITH FOOD is a must-read for parents, doctors, teachers, and anyone interested in the relationship between nutrition, health, and wellbeing.
Parent – Child Talking Points in CURE YOUR CHILD WITH FOOD:
1. Mothers of adolescent daughters struggling with weight problems are in an impossible position. They have to address a delicate issue with possible long-term health and self esteem consequences without fostering hostility or setting the stage for an eating disorder.
2. One out of three parents face this situation, as 30% of adolescent girls are now considered overweight or obese. This number is higher for black and Hispanic populations. (Source: National Institute of Diabetes, Digestive and Kidney Diseases)
3. Many children have problems controlling their weight because they feel hungry all the time. Telling a child they have eaten enough does not help if there body is calling for more food.
4. Not getting enough sleep and stress can make you feel hungry even though you have consumed enough calories. What most parents do not know is that typical kid diets with too much bread, pasta and pizza can cause an insatiable appetite.
5. Because of the way the brain works, weight loss diets are not successful with children. Changing the composition of the diet to reduce the appetite helps children regulate their own intake and gets parents off the hook.

Cheryl Cohen loves to cook, so becoming a culinary specialist with a nationally-recognized cooking institution was a natural fit. On Thursday Cohen, from Dover, will be conducting her fourth Taste of Home Cooking School at the Dyson Baudo Recreation Center on the Marietta College campus.
"I've done three shows in Marietta before. Everyone has lots of fun," she said. "I always enjoy it and the shows always have something new for the audience."
Cohen has been involved with cooking in one way or another since she was young.

The popular Taste of Home Cooking School is coming back to Marietta Thursday, co-sponsored by The Marietta Times, Food 4 Less and Warren's IGA.
"My interest came from watching my mother and grandmother cook," she said. "In high school I took home economics, then later majored in home economics and education in college, so I have a pretty good background in the food area."
Prior to joining Taste of Home, Cohen conducted a small 30-seat cooking school at a grocery market near her home.
"Now I have crowds from 500 and up," she said. "I think my largest group was around 1,800 people."

For more information: www.tasteofhome.com/cooking-schools
Cohen said the cooking school is definitely great entertainment, but also educational.
"We cook with recipes that people can go right home and make with items they'll find in any local grocery store," she said. "And there's something for everyone-those who are just learning to cook as well as experienced cooks."
Recipes used in the Taste of Home Cooking School come from families across the country and are tested in the Taste of Home test kitchens in Milwaukee, Wis., Cohen said.
"We'll be giving away door prizes from both national and local sponsors, including seasonings, beach chairs and a lot of cookbooks," she said. "And everyone gets a goody bag with lots of free items and coupons from our sponsors. The bags will also contain the recipes I'll be cooking from during the show."
As in the past, The Marietta Times is co-sponsoring the Taste of Home Cooking School along with the Food 4 Less and Warren's IGA supermarkets.
"The Marietta Times looks forward to our Taste of Home shows every year," said advertising director Kurt Knopp. "Everyone has a great time, learns a few new recipes, and gets a chance to interact with local retailers. And many people come away with one of about a hundred vendor-supplied door prizes."
He said more than 20 local vendors will be on hand during Thursday's cooking school.
"I've yet to talk to someone who has chosen to attend who didn't tell me they looked forward to coming again the following year," Knopp added.
Food 4 Less owner Bucky Lee agreed.
"It looks to me, judging from our ticket sales, that we're going to have a tremendous crowd Thursday night," he said. "It's a great way for us to give back to the community. We put out about $1,000 worth of produce and will have a lot of samples to give away, as well as a grill for one of the door prizes."
Lee said people come from miles around to attend the Taste of Home Cooking Schools every year.
"It's good, clean fun where families can enjoy an evening together," he said. "And people learn to cook and eat at home, which is still way cheaper than eating out."

The Counseling Service at the Harrison Health Center is a resource for all students. Counselors provide supportive individual psychotherapy for a range of issues, as well as consultation, referrals, and occasional group facilitation. Counseling sessions are free of charge.
Why Come to Counseling?
Students come to counseling for a variety of reasons, including struggles with alcohol or drugs, difficult life events, depression, anxiety, sexual assault or other forms of abuse, interpersonal challenges, identity issues, body image and eating concerns, procrastination, grief, and stress management.
You may be referred by the assistant dean, a faculty member, or a friend. You may just be curious about counseling, or have questions about whether or not therapy is appropriate for you. You don't have to have a crisis or diagnosable mental health condition to make an appointment; students come in to discuss a range of concerns, large and small.
In addition to individual psychotherapy, counselors provide referrals for students who would best be served by a specialist or are interested in long-term therapy in the greater Annapolis community. (Click here for insurance information.) If medication is indicated, counselors make referrals to an on-campus psychiatrist for an evaluation. There is no charge for the initial assessment or the first three hours of psychiatric service. Psychotherapy groups are also offered intermittently, as student interest allows. Possible group topics include mindfulness for stress relief, coping with social anxiety, and support for survivors of sexual assault. If you would like to participate in a group, please contact one of the counselors to discuss your interest.
What can I expect when I meet with a counselor?
Counselors are licensed mental health professionals with a broad range of interests and experience working with St. John's students. Counselors are non-judgmental, objective, professional helpers. They won't tell you what to do, but they will ask questions, listen closely, and help you to understand what is troubling you in a new light.
Some students come for a one-time consultation visit; some come for many weekly appointments. The anticipated duration of therapy is something that can be discussed at a first visit.
Counseling is a collaborative process. Students are encouraged to share their concerns, questions, and goals for therapy with their counselor so that together they can establish the most helpful approach.

October 25, 2006
Now it's a done deal.
A Savannah-based company signed papers this afternoon to purchase six acres of land downtown, making way for high-rise condos overlooking the river, and changing Augusta's skyline.
As of today, the city no longer owns the land. It's now in the hands of developer Harry Kitchen, Jr..
While it took a minute to get this project approved, everybody seems to be looking forward to what it could bring.
"It's going to be a signature project for Augusta, Georgia," said Mayor Deke Copenhaver.
The condo project is expected to bring 700 new jobs and $6 million in tax revenue.
"You have to get people living back downtown," Copenhaver said. "It helps the businesses. It helps everybody. It increases the tax bases."
The Savannah-based Foxfield company has paid the $2 million, and now have the okay to break ground on these six acres on Reynolds Street.
A 182 unit upscale riverfront condo project is what they're building...an expected boost for a struggling city.
"You know, I can put North Augusta, Columbia County and all of the surrounding areas on alert," said Commissioner Betty Beard. "They are going to see a difference in Augusta."
And now that the project has the green light, its completion is expected to bring a big economic boom to the entire city, but perhaps no one's more excited that the business nearby.
George Harrison owns the Boll Weevil and Beamie's Café, in walking distance from the property.
"I think it's great," he told News 12. "I think it's going to make downtown better, for one thing, and gives a lot of viability across the board, people willing to come down here and live."
The project didn't get support from several city leaders, but downtown commissioner Betty Beard is sure they'll soon have a change of heart.
"I think they are going to change their minds when they see the progress, when they see what this will mean for the city of Augusta," she said.
And while we can only wait to see what kind of impact there is, one thing's for sure: the high-rise will certainly change the skyline of the city.
We're told some local historic preservationists don't want the city to get rid of the old railroad depot on the property. Of course, Mr. Kitchen now owns the land...but he says he will work to incorporate it into his project, possibly turning it into a grocery store.
With the election coming up, this has been a big week for the mayor.
Cal Ripken was here on Monday, now this deal has been signed, and he may have a big announcement later this week.
News 12 asked the mayor about that today, and he says all of this good news just happened to come in the same week; he says there was nothing strategic or political.
The DDA tells News 12 that construction for the condos was originally planned in two phases. Now we're told there are plans to do it in one.
The expected completion date is fall 2008.

Social Network vs. Russian Government — The Saga Continues
The founder of a Russian social-networking website partly owned by London-listed Mail.Ru Group Ltd. has been summoned to the Russian prosecutor's office, a day after being quoted by a blogger as saying that Russia's Federal Security Service, or FSB, had asked the site to block the online activities of political protest groups. (Read more here)
Pavel Durov posted a picture on Twitter of a note that summoned him to see a St. Petersburg prosecutor by 5 p.m. local time Friday.
"Over the last couple of days the FSB has asked us to block opposition groups," Durov said on Twitter.
Durov said, however, that his site, VKontakte, wouldn't take such action "out of principle."
VKontakte, in which London-listed search engine company Mail.Ru Group holds a 39.99% stake, is Russia's most popular social-networking site.
The FSB declined to comment on the issue.
The prosecutor's office couldn't immediately be reached for comment.

Article 2 of the Convention on Genocide stipulates that « genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such: (a) Killing members of the group; (b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; (c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; (d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; (e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group. »
Much attention is generally accorded to acts involving killing members of the group. Rwanda experienced this at least two times, once in Rwanda herself in 1994 and later in the Democratic Republic of Congo between 1996 and 1997. But in peace time, this is rarely the case. What's taking place since 2006 is actually a silent genocide targeting the Hutu community.
For the first time in Rwanda's history, a general census has shown great geographical disparities in annual average population growth rates between 2002 and 2012 with the Eastern Province registering an increase of 4,3% while the Northern and Western Provinces registered respectively 1% and 1,9%. In certain districts like Nyagatare, the figure is even higher since that particular place reportedly registered an increase of 6,2% annually between 2002 and 2012.
The current RPF autocratic regime hastened to justify the shocking differences between the Eastern and Northern provinces invoking « movements of population and not differences in birth rates », a statement not supported by any evidence. Reality is that there's a deliberate policy of limitation of births by all possible methods of reproduction in those areas.
One of these methods targeting men is « non-scalpel vasectomy (NSV) » primarily conducted in Nyabihu district (Western Province) and Gicumbi district (Northern Province) whose ambition was to reach at least 700,000 males in the country with the support and funding from USAID's Office of Population which the main partner of the regime for its « national family planning policy » since 2006. Clearly, in this 21st century, the question of whether the US government is funding a silent genocide of Hutus in Rwanda is posed and needs a clear answer.
Men and women in those areas are submitted to unbearable pressures by community health workers (CHWs) who are also stressed by their own hierarchy, namely the ministry of health who has set goals to be achieved by 2010.
US aid in Rwanda
With more than 170 million USD per year, the US government is Rwanda's biggest bilateral official development aid (ODA) provider if one excludes direct budget support. This financial aid is given to targeted projects by country and in this case in diverse sectors including « family planning and reproductive health ».
It is interesting to note that despite the mountain of evidence demonstrating the involvement of the current regime in destabilizing the neigboring Democratic Republic of Congo in view of creating a satellite State in the East of that country, the US governement is still reluctant to withhold flows of dollars to the present Rwandan criminal government.
Slowing births in specific communities at any cost
All methods are being used to stop births in specific communities especially in rural areas. The used methods range from pills (7%), injectable (26%) to implants (6%) in married women while others target males. The regime pretends that enrollment for any method is volontary. This is practically impossible. In a country like Rwanda where basic freedoms are denied, independent civil society organizations banned, level of education very low especially in women and in rural areas and both central and local leaders including CHWs tempted to use coercion to meet imposed targets « imihigo », there's no room for volontary participation
Another problem is that members of the Hutu community are globally seen as potential hostile citizens to « government programs » which makes them vulnerable to agents of enforcement of public policies, in this case CHWs. In present Rwanda, « frustrating government programs » is a criminal offence.
It wasn't a coincidence that Nyabihu and Gicumbi districts, respectively situated in the Western and Northern Provinces were selected as first candidates for NSV program. Consistant with its usual policy of denial, the RPF regime dismissed its stated objectives later. The ministry of health realized the criminal character of such a program and embarked on an exercise of public image damage control. It's for that reason that it affirmed that there were no targets for vasectomies adding that « the 700,000 target which has been erroneously announced in press reports is actually in regard to the government's goal to protect males from HIV infection through volontary circumcision ».
What the minister forgot to recall is that the mentioned reports added that those families were identified as poor families with no means of raising children. In fact, even for this new so-called anti-HIV program supported by GAVI funds and certain jewish NGOs, the target was revised and put at 2,5 million males for circumcision. Moreover, a survey conducted in neighboring Uganda showed that circumcision has no protective effect at all.
The Western and Northern provinces include former Ruhengeri, Byumba and Gisenyi prefectures which were seen by many as strongholds of the former regime. Tutsis in those areas were and are still very few. To the contrary, the Eastern province is populated with former refugees from Uganda, Tanzania and Burundi most of whom are Tutsis and are seen as the social base of the current regime.
The other factor taken into account to bring women and men to cooperate in these programs is poverty. Everybody knows that in a country where national solidarity is not organized by the State leaving bread earners of every family with the burden of providing social assistance to their poor, there's a very stong interaction between ethnicity and poverty in present Rwanda.
High mortality rates and broken families
The provisional census results didn't give any details yet about mortality rates. Those two provinces were heavily affected by the insurgency of 1998-2000 which left almost every family affected by loss of male members.
Moreover, more than 1,9 million Hutus all categories confounded were tried by Gacaca courts at first level and that at least 1,5 million were convicted, some of them (75,000) in absentia. Of these, only 45,000 were acquitted at the level of appeal.
227,000 suspects from all categories pleaded guilty with the result that at least 200,000 were sentenced to spend some time in labor camps as « alternative sentence ». That's why even in the Southern Province, the annual population growth average rate was only 2,9. In fact, Hutu women could hardly see their husbands which makes producing practically impossible.
In additionnally, tens of thousands are still refugees in neighboring countries while thousands of others serve their sentences in prison. Many Hutu women live alone and are not in any way able to produce as far as reproductive health is concerned. This has very seriously affected their fertility rate hence the highly applauded decrease of annual population growth average. It's no surprise though that the official narrative doesn't even mention these factors.
We couldn't expect less from Diane Karusisi, Mrs Janet Kagame's closest aides, who heads the « National Institute of Statistics » that conducted and doctored these statistics . In fact, all started with false premises of population growth combined with the aim of hiding the victims of the regime which put put produced false results during the 2002 census and exaggerated projections of population growth at 10,718,378 by 2011, an number deliberately exaggerated to justify targeted natality controls measure and attract external funding, since their own census indicates that in 2012, the total population of Rwanda is 10,537,222 people.
Time to stop support to the RPF criminal policy
In a country like Rwanda where ethnicity is so crucial in politics and issues of reproductive health so sensitive considered the levels of violence reached in our society, it's high time that all stakeholders scrutinize very seriously their involvement in such policies.
In apartheid South Africa, the racist government didn't hesitate to resort to birth control to keep in check the numbers of Blacks which was perceived as a threat to the stability of the social order under which they wrongly thought they could rule for ever and suppress by force any demand of democratic participation from the Black majority. Very few would even imagine that the government didn't hesitate to envisage poisoning of potable water or other means of limiting procreation in Black communities as official programs until this was confirmed by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
In Rwanda, where the current regime is both dictatorial and ethnically based, there's little chance that they resists to such fascist methods as limitation of births for a perceived hostile community. The US government should stop its involvement in the current program aiming at controlling births as long as there are no sufficient evidence and no conducive conditions that such an exercise can be conducted ethically and fairly and be based on the will of the people under the scrutiny of an independent press, free civil society organizations and independent judiciary, all of which are lacking under the reigning autocratic regime of Paul Kagame.
Attitudes of flat denial both unethical and aggressive like the one exhibited by former Under-Secretary of State for African Affairs Jendayi Frazer during her interview with Aljazeera TV this Sunday December 2, 2012 or an unconditional cover-up in all circumstances from the current US representative to the UN Susan Rice should be reversed and a proactive attitude be the order of the day as far as Rwanda is concerned, whether it's about the current total absence of rule of law and political space at home or else in external issues like Rwanda's military aggression against the DRC. Failure to realize this will make the US an active accomplice in a silent genocide against the Hutu community in Rwanda.

The countdown to liftoff is white-knuckles time.
Co-owners Brandon Hays and Phillip Schanbaum ricocheted around So & So's on April 23 like sweaty pinballs. They glad-handed fresh arrivals at the door, skipped out to the under-repair patio and ducked back into the nonoperating kitchen. On this soft-opening Wednesday, servers outnumbered customers, and McKinney Avenue prowlers, wafting by for a quizzical peek, might have outnumbered both.
So & So's was still a week away from food service — in brief, it will feature pizza and more— and just recovering from a boisterous "friends and family" weekend. But this was no lull for Hays and Schanbaum, who've taken over a hallowed parcel of Uptown party real estate, the former Primo's.
The bones of that space, the brick and hardwood floors and tin ceiling (now painted), remain. But now it's populated with rigorously oddball fixtures and furnishings and banquette seating that imparts a more loungy feel.
The bar is more of a focus, in keeping with Hays' background as operating partner at the nearby Standard Pour. An antique piano dominates its cluttered backsplash.
The lineup of cocktails on tap includes Fernet and Coke ($8). Fernet Branca, the prickly digestif called "the bartender's handshake" for its insider appeal, rolls over its Coca-Cola mixer like Godzilla over Bambi's mother. Try the Grapefruit Rickey ($8) for a more conventional warm-weather sipper.
Recommended without qualms, however, is the $9 Old Doodad, an Old-Fashioned that replaces the usual Angostura with Fee Brothers Old Fashion bitters. The effect is sweeter, but not sickly so, with a note of cinnamon in the nose.

Telerik's release of Sitefinity 4 added several new elements and enhancements to their ever popular CMs, however, for those already familiar with 3.x might become overwhelmed by the changes. Nearly every aspect of the old Sitefinity has been changed, from the way it's structured, to the way Sitefinity gets built, in order to make the most of these enhancements. One of the most notable backend changes is that it is done in mostly AJAX, smoothing out the refreshing pages where they are no longer necessary. Today we will go through a brief overview of some of the main changes since going through every change could take weeks.
Project Over Website
One of the biggest changes that Telerik made is that Sitefinity is no longer created as though it's a website, now everything is managed as though it is a web app. This lets you add separate mini-projects as references to the site and because of the references the entire file structure is a lot smaller. Another difference is debugging the project. For most cases getting the change to take affect requires building your entire project. This is nothing new to Visual Studio projects, but was never necessary to get changes to take effect in 3.x.
File Structure
One of the first changes you may notice switching from 3.x to 4.x is the file structure. This is completely "revamped" from the old system. I say revamped in quotes because I am still uncertain if I like it better. The old method correlated with asp.net's website format. This let Sitefinity find any masterpages and themes automatically without any additional effort from the developer. The new file structure groups themes much better, but require extra work to use them. In 4.x you will place everything in primarily the App_Data folder. From there you would go -> Sitefinity -> WebsiteTemplates. The WebsiteTemplates folder has to be created, as it doesn't come standard on 4.x (this was probably one of the most confusing parts looking through the early 4.x documentation. Luckily as Sitefinity 4 has aged they have added plenty more content). After that directory is created you need to add the folder replacing the name with what you want your template to be named. As you will notice the App_Master, App_Themes and WidgetTemplates folders are nested nicely inside. This lets you create multiple templates for a site and it keeps all the components together for each template. Inside folder you may notice that there is a WidgetTemplates folder. In Sitefinity 3.x there were no widgets, in 4.x the toolbox controls became "widgets" and the templates that go in the WidgetsTemplates folder are essentially the ones that modify the style of already existing widgets such as the blog, or news controls. This helps keep everything for that specific template all in the same spot letting you add more than one template easily to the site.
Because of the different file structure anything you create needs to be registered into the back end of Sitefinity 4. This includes but is not limited to master pages, themes, and widgets. In Sitefinity 3.x registering controls was easily done in the web.config and although it is possible to register items through files it is often easier to do it in the backend. The only downside to this is navigating through the back end can be tedious especially with a lower end computer and can be confusing the first time you attempt to do so.
Sitefinity 4.x was developed as a median of perfection between the developer and backend user. Switching to an AJAX experience cleaned up the backend excellently. The API for creating custom widgets is clean and makes custom widgets fairly easy to create for people already familiar with creating custom controls. Telerik overall has an excellent CMS system on their hands that easily bests its older counterpart.

At a Glance - Visualization of Series
We've already mentioned that series and integrals are much alike. The integral is the series' brother from another mother. Before we put on our x-ray glasses and take a closer look at convergence and divergence of series, we need to review and discuss two things: basic integral definitions, convergence, and divergence; and visualizing sequences and series.
Since we've already discussed everything we need to know about integrals, we've listed the important concepts here:
- weighted area, including left- and right-hand sums
- improper integrals with an infinite limit of integration
- what it means for such integrals to converge or diverge
- comparison of improper integrals
- the p-test for integral convergence
If you feel unsure about any of these, be sure to go review before we dive headfirst into the new stuff.
We already know we can visualize a sequence on a 2-D graph. We make the horizontal axis show which term we're on and the vertical axis show the value of that term.
Because they're sort of flat, we're going to use grilled cheese sandwiches to visualize series in 2-D.
First, we have a difficult question for you to answer; it's sure to confuse you for hours. What happens to the value of a number if you multiply it by 1?
The value of the number doesn't change. We sincerely hope you got that question right.
Sample Problem
What is the area of a grilled cheese sandwich with height an and width 1?
The area of the sandwich looks like this:
Its area is
(height)(width) = an(1) = an.
Exercise 1
Find the area covered by the three grilled cheese sandwiches shown below.
Exercise 2
Visualize the harmonic series
on a 2-D graph.
Draw the rectangle for each term an on the interval [n – 1, n], so that we get a right-hand sum instead of a left-hand sum.
Exercise 3
Draw 2-D graphs to visualize the series
using (a) a left-hand sum and (b) a right-hand sum.

Oh sure, Merry looks like butter won't melt in her mouth. She wears a lot of pink and is a supermodel. We know what you're thinking: square or snot, but a rocker she's not.
Oh, you're so wrong about that! This pug has a history. She has a love of leather leashes and coats. She has a tattoo. We've caught her trying to climb out the window on a Saturday night. She may not look it on the outside, but our girl's got a definite attitude and she can hold her own with the rocker set.
Which is why we hooted and hollered in laughter when we got our latest package of attitude-laden duds from the folks at K9 Duds. They know the princess better than we thought!
First up was an adorable pink dog hoodie with a wicked winged heart on the back and the phrase "Unconditional Love". This hoodie is so cute we just about can't stand to see the princess wearing it - you just want to snuggle her up and drop kisses all over her bad self. The hoodie is wild pink, chrystal washed for that bad-to-the-bone look, and is made from 100% cotton. It's called a "thermal" hoodie but think thermal pajams in terms of material, rather than a typical sweatshirt material. In truth it's more lightweight than the average fleece hoodie and that's a good thing.
Unconditional Love has a good sized hole in back for a leash or harness before the cute, if small, hood. These hoods are not functional - they're very much decorative. It's also a boxier cut than their fleece hoodies - think "boyfriend jacket" fit and you'd be about right. It makes for one cute, cuddly, rockin' pug.
The second item was a ribbed dog tank, tie-dyed green. Of all the pieces, this was our favorite. It fit deliciously and was 100% cotton soft, as with all the tanks from K9 Duds - but it also sported the cutest of the three designs. Roses and skulls decorate a spade and scream "Bad Attitude!" as well as "Ruff Love" and "Looking for Trouble". This shirt, we are certain, is the very shirt that the princess will decide to don before sneaking out to meet her hog-drivin' boyfriend on the way to a bar with an amazing band who really knows their electric guitars, if you know what we mean.
The last shirt was a more traditional fleece dog hoodie in pink (also sporting a hole for leashes or harnesses just beneath the hoodie line) with the moniker "Beware of Bad Ass" printed on the back complete with skull and crossbones. However, the fact that the hoodie is pink and the design is printed in pink foil tends to take the bite out of their statements. This would be a great "trainer" sweatshirt for those dogs who aren't really hardcore, not yet. :)
Like all their fleece dog hoodies, the sweatshirt fit close to the body with a nice ribbed cuff and waistband. The hood was also small, as we said, more decorative than functional.
We have to be honest - we love the direction this company is taking their designs. The tie-dyed look is super and works well with these tattoo-inspired shirt designs. The boxy style of the thermal hoodie and close-fitting ribbed tanks (our two favorite clothing pieces) are perfect for the style they've developed. The attitude has just the right amount of tongue in cheek when you consider they come as small as eight inches long for wee pups with attitude.
And the princess? We've had to hide her guitar pick. Somehow we just don't think that moonlighting at night as a lead guitarist will work well with her supermodel and most-spoiled-pup-ever day job. But ever since she got the duds to go with, she's been chomping at the bit to dive headfirst into rocker culture!

Fact check: More from the presidential debate
Barack Obama said "The centerpiece of Senator McCain's education policy is to increase the voucher program in D.C. by 2,000 slots." Politifact found that statement false.
John McCain said Obama, "as a member of the Illinois State Senate, voted in the Judiciary Committee against a law that would provide immediate medical attention to a child born of a failed abortion." CNN found that claim misleading.
More on the jump
FactCheck.org has a summary of statements it checked from the debate. A couple of checks from that summary:
Obama repeated a dubious claim that his health care plan will cut the average family's premiums by $2,500 a year. Experts have found that figure to be overly optimistic.
McCain said "Joe the plumber" faced "much higher taxes" under Obama's tax plan and would pay a fine under Obama's health care plan if he failed to provide coverage for his workers. But Ohio plumber Joe Wurzelbacher would pay higher taxes only if the business he says he wants to buy puts his income over $200,000 a year, and his small business would be exempt from Obama's requirement to provide coverage for workers.

Sink into relaxation. The Sanskrit word 'Svaroopa' means 'the bliss of your own being'. Svaroopa yoga aims to open and relax the spinal muscles, releasing tension and leaving the body in a natural state of bliss. Rather than concentrating on precise positions, students of Svaroopa are encouraged to sink into poses, taking pressure off the body and allowing it to unwind.
Classes last for approximately an hour. During a Svaroopa session your teacher will show you how to use props such as blocks and blankets to help position the body in different ways. You will also be taught to adopt various positions that focus on opening and releasing the spine. Where necessary, your teacher will help you to adjust your positions to get the most out of the experience – so get ready to stretch that little bit further!
Svaroopa yoga can help to ease neck, back and shoulder pain, in addition to reducing fatigue, headaches and colds. It can also aid breathing and digestion, and has a positive effect on those suffering from stress.
Svaroopa yoga is suitable for people of all abilities. As a beginner you'll be taught poses that provide lots of support to the spine. The more advanced you become, the more you will be able to explore different ways in which to manipulate the body – and the easier it will become to achieve that blissful state.
Stress is cumulative – being stressed over a long period of time can manifest itself in the form of physical aches and pains. Practising a form of yoga such as Svaroopa yoga can help to counter the effects of stress and prevent tension from building up.

Helping your Facebook fans help you – with engagement
2011 has been a big year for Facebook. New features were launched to make the world's largest social network an indispensable tool for companies and to monetize its continent sized fan base via new forms of engagement and advertising. A few weeks ago, I asked whether the new Timeline, which appears to be still rolling out slowly, would help PR Pros or not.
More recently, I argued that using social media exclusively as a short-term branding tool was dangerous for corporate reputation management, that engagement is key to long-term social media success and that PR should always be involved in defining the organisation's social media strategy.
In this post, I'd like to examine some of the other news from Facebook to determine whether and how these may impact PR and reputation management.
What makes your fans tick ?
Among the slew of new features announced at Facebook's F8 conference last September are new buttons that go beyond the LIKE action. This is Facebook's first step towards making fans share more and in more varied ways. VIEWING, SHARING and others are being made possible, and content publishers are even able to create their own button through apps to suit their own publications.
More significantly, and far more controversially, Facebook introduced the Ticker on the right hand side of the page, to show you what your friends are doing, who they are friending, what cafe they are checking into and what brands or products they are liking.
The ticker was met with almost universal criticism. From users, who claim it simply provides too much information into their friends' lives. And from many many experts denouncing privacy scares.
Since the introduction that feature, many articles have been written to explain how to protect yourself from it and even how to remove it altogether (thanks to a Google Chrome extension, how surprising ;)).
But Ticker is amajor component of Facebook's business plan, along with Top stories and Sponsored Stories.
Beyond the obvious personal branding/reputation associated to ticker, its significance is due to the fact that it now integrates Sponsored stories in its feed. Sponsored stories are adverts in which the text is not written by the advertiser but is extracted from a fan's update or action: Eric LIKEs the latest news from your company and all of Eric's friends will see an advert for your news containing his "this is really interesting" update. This is significant because, according to Facebook, sponsored stories have much more impact than conventional advertising.
Top Stories, the final element in Facebook's engagement trilogy, may be even more important to PR and reputation management professionals. Indeed, while the news feed on your Facebook page has always been presented in chronological order, top stories can be pushed up to the top of your feed is enough of your friends have liked it or commented on it. I already mentioned EdgeRank – Facebook's feed filtering algorithm, that determines what friend and brand updates you actually see in your newsfeed – in 5 reasons not to count Fans on Facebook. The algorithm strengthens the visibility of brands you engage with and reduces it for others. Top stories push this idea one big step forward.
Finding engaging content to publish
Obviously, producing and publishing engaging content on Facebook is key to starting engagement. How do you know what your fans like best ?
Smart Insights recently published an interesting infographic describing the basic types of sharers in the UK and what content they like to share best.
But this is generic and the best way to understand what your community wants is to … listen to discussions. Listening will give you insight in major issues, major likes and dominant speakers. But I'll tell you much, much more about this in my next post ! Stay tuned

Prostate Cancer Health Center
New Therapy May Fight Prostate Cancer
June 19, 2009 -- Mayo Clinic researchers say an experimental treatment may have cured two patients whose prostate cancers were so advanced they had been considered inoperable.
Both patients were reportedly free of cancer after treatment with a combination of hormone therapy, an experimental immunotherapy, and surgery.
No one was more surprised than their doctors. "This is certainly not the way we thought it would go," Mayo urologist and immunologist Eugene Kwon, MD, tells WebMD.
He adds that the point of the treatment had been to buy some time for patients whose cancers appeared to be incurable.
The two men were originally enrolled in a study designed to determine if treatment to suppress testosterone (known as androgen ablation), followed by treatment with an experimental immunotherapy called ipilimumab, could slow the progression of advanced prostate cancer.
"The goal was to see if we could modestly improve upon current treatments," Kwon says.
The 85 patients in the study were not considered candidates for surgery, but several showed such dramatic regressions in their cancers that they left the trial in order to have it.
Kwon admits that this was done in the first patient not because the study investigators thought it was a good idea, but because the patient's wife insisted.
"Even though this patient had remarkable reduction in disease, we still did not think surgery would be beneficial," he says. "But in a two-hour, late-night phone conversation that became quite acrimonious, she demanded that we take her husband off the study and do surgery."
More than a year and a half later, that patient shows no signs of prostate cancer, Kwon says.
One other patient who also left the study to have surgery also appears free of the cancer, and a third patient was operated on last week.
"This occurred not because we as physicians and scientists were so brilliant, but because a patient's wife re-crafted our thinking about what was achievable," he says.
Second Opinion
But just how promising is the treatment that Kwon and colleagues ended up with?
A prostate cancer specialist who spoke to WebMD says that remains to be seen.

News 12 at 11 o'clock, March 13, 2009
AUGUSTA, Ga. --The economic downturn has hit housing hard but it doesn't seem to have an impact on the 4th Annual Home and Garden Show this weekend at the James Brown Arena.
The show opened Friday afternoon with a full house of vendors showcasing their services.
Close to 5,000 people are expected this weekend, with many of them looking to make upgrades to their homes. With real estate values uncertain, a lot of people are making more of an effort to make improvements on the home they already have.
Vendors like Alan Hamilton and Jack Posey both have spent money in order to "make money." Posey says it is all part of doing business.
With close to 125 vendors this year - its expected that close to 5,000 people will attend the show - looking for deals on landscaping, window and door treatments, custom cabinets, and counter tops. Alan Hamilton says his business, Champion Window actually has reached record sales.
"You know we really haven't had much of a down turn in the Augusta area," says Hamilton. "We can't compare to some of these other big cities that are having all these downturns because it's really not affecting us that much."
What has changed perhaps is the spending habits of some consumers. Many are being extra mindful of where their dollars go; shoppers like Jean Dondelinger.
"If you need a repair of some sort its good to come to the professional and see the different things that they have so that you can gage where your money's going how much you can spend,"says Dondelinger.
Hamilton and Posey are both looking forward to the weekend and bringing in new business. They urge the public to come out and buy local.
Some of the vendors we spoke with say they are willing to work with customers as best as possible so that they don't break the bank and they're able to get quality products as well. And since many of them buy their supplies from local places and that contributes to the economy as well.

Georgia Tech students assess Airport accessibility
Seven students from Georgia Tech's Center for Assistive Technology and Environmental Access gave presentations at Hartsfield-Jackson's Tech Campus on December 13 in which they outlined the findings of their assessments of the Airport's accessibility for all groups of people.
The students chose aspects of the Airport that previously had been identified as potentially problematic for people with disabilities or other special needs. Jan Lister, customer service manager and founder of the Airport's Accessibility Committee, has been working with the center and its director, Jon Sanford, who led the students in their projects.
During their assessment of the Airport in the fall, the students weighed the current design and structures against the Seven Principles of Universal Design, which promote accessible designs in order to benefit not only those with disabilities but also the entire population.
One group's presentation was on the Airport's signage and wayfinding, while the other group examined the food court areas.
"The students were able to pinpoint areas for potential improvement and raise awareness of the types of issues to consider from an accessibility standpoint," Lister said. "The students were invited to use their imaginations in proposing solutions for these issues, without any budgetary constraints, so some of their suggestions may not be feasible financially, but all of them showed a lot of thoughtfulness and innovation. They certainly gave us a lot to think about."
December 13 was the second time that Georgia Tech students have delivered their findings on these accessibility studies. Other groups of students made presentations on wayfinding, signage and seating in December 2010.

Blister Volunteers Needed
Filed under: blister care
For years blister care has been fairly standard. Many athletes use Second Skin over the top of a blister and then apply tape to hold that in place. Some still use Vaseline. Others will drain the blister and cover with a Band-Aid or athletic tape. And some will use zinc oxide under tape.
All can work – but some work better than others. I've seen many runners who have tried one of the above with poor success.
Sometimes the lack of blister patching success happens because of a poor tape job. Maybe too little adhesive around the patch and it didn't stick. Maybe the blister was not lanced correctly and refilled with fluid. Or maybe the Second Skin migrated under the tape and folded on itself or might have been old and too dried out to work as designed. Or the Second Skin made the skin too moist and maceration occurred, causing more problems. Or too little Vaseline or zinc oxide was used and friction reoccurred, leading to an increase in fluid.
So here's the deal. I am interested in hearing from a few athletes, runners or adventure racers, walkers or hikers – who get serious blisters almost every time they go out. I don't mean a minor ¼ inch blister, but a blister ½ inch or larger, anywhere on the foot. And especially those where the roof tears off, leaving raw skin underneath. The worst, the better and the bigger the better. This is not a prevention item but would be used as a treatment for formed blisters.
I have a product to test and need four to six testers.
Send me an email and tell me about yourself, what you are doing when you get blisters, and how you have treated them in the past – what you have tried and what worked or didn't work. If will do my best to respond to all who send me an email. Please sned an email rather than a comment on the blog.
I'll pick the best of the worst cases and supply you with sample product and suggested ways I want you to use it in the trial. I'll give you forms to use to record your results and may ask for a photo or two. I will ask for your confidence in the trail until I can judge the results.
I make no guarantees as to whether this will work or not. But I think it's worth a test. This is not a homegrown product but one made by a medical company.
More on Prevention
Last week I wrote about prevention and being proactive. I emphasized that you are the key to prevention. I want to share an email I received from a friend that is a great example of this in action. Lisa told me about her friend and gave me permission to share the story:
My friend ran a 50km x 2 (100km total, over two days) race a few weeks ago. Over the past six months he has put a lot of work into his running training and has been running beautifully.
I was away so when I got back I dropped him a text to see how his race went. He told me what happened and in the conversation said that he would be losing many of his toenails. I ask why and he said he forgot to cut his toenails.
As you can imagine I didn't reply to this at all because I would have thrown some insulting words his way.
He has been trail running for more than a decade and been doing adventure racing for over a decade. He spent a fairly sizable amount on his race entry and it must be about 900km to travel to the race. He put in six months of training to get stronger and faster. And he forgot to trim his toenails! This is more than elementary and is totally stupid. It's tough to have sympathy (I have none!) when friends do silly things like this. He knows better.

This story speaks for itself. I have often talked about how athletes spend a lot of time and money in preparation for an event but fail to plan for good foot care. More times than I care to remember, I have seen athletes quit a race or be pulled from a race because of feet gone bad. It doesn't have to be that way.
I'll say it again, you are the key to prevention.

AbstractZearalenone (ZON) is a mycotoxin with estrogenic activity, produced by members of Fusarium species, and is found worldwide in a number of cereal crops. It is known to have four active metabolites (a-zearalenol (a-ZOL), b-zearalenol (b-ZOL), a-zearalanol (a-ZAL), and b-zearalanol (b-ZAL)). A highly sensitive analytical method using liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry using electrospray ionization (LC-ESI-MS/MS) has been established and validated in order to analyze ZON and its metabolites in beer and malt samples. The metabolism of ZON in the course of beer fermentation was further characterized using the artificially contaminated wort by this established method. In the fermented sample, 85.9% of ZON was converted to b-ZOL, which has lower estrogenic activity than that of ZON. These findings indicate that the health risk to humans due to ZON in beer is reduced during the fermentation process.
