Flesh Eating Bacteria Prevention, Treatment, and What is It Exactly?
There is something about being "eaten alive" by bacteria, crawling unseen on your skin, that is so primitive and so sci-fi at the same time, it unleashes the primal fear in us. Maybe this is why, on the rare occasion that the gruesome flesh-eating bacterial infection strikes, it creates a storm in cyberspace.

so for the past few weeks my baby has been getting high fevers (102-104) on and off. the first time we called the doctor about this he said she probably had a virus (at that point there was no sign of teething either) and to alternate ibuprofen and acetominophen every 3 hours. so we did that and her fever eventually went away after 24 hours. the next time she got a fever about a week later, same thing with the high fevers (except this time she was acting normal, just had a fever and chewing on her fingers alot) so we did the alternating medicine again. now a week later shes now got yet again high fever of which at one point it got to 105 when i checked her after she woke up (checked both ears) because she felt really hot and i started panicing and gave her medicine right away and called the doc. the doc told me to give her a bath for about 20-30 minutes and see if that helps get the fever down and to continue to give the medicine and if theres still a fever to bring her in on monday (which to me sounds very stupid and if she does go up that high again or keeps this fever by tomorrow im taking her to the hospital i dont care what he says) but shes drooling like crazy. i see a bunch of buds where teeth are coming in and one top one has poked through already. it seems shes getting a bunch all at once now to make up for not getting any til now and im wondering if maybe that is why shes been getting these fevers. theres no diarrhea and she acts normal until her teeth start bothering her and she starts getting fussy and chewing on her fingers so i give her some teething toys.
(edit: it seems unlikely to me that its a virus since it keeps occuring)
so i guess my question is, have any of you experienced this when your babies were teething?? everything i read says that fevers that high are not teething related but its only started happening since shes started teething and like i said shes been acting normal... this is driving me crazy because i dont know what to do and how worried i should be!

The Berkshire Regional Transit Authority offices will be closed and regular bus service will not be provided on Monday, September 5, 2016 to observe the Labor Day holiday.

New Bus Service in response to Price Chopper closure
Berkshire Regional Transit Authority (BRTA) has created a minor route adjustment to the Route 3 bus that services Williamstown and North Adams, in response to the closure of Price Chopper supermarket and the accessibility of West End residents to grocery shop. This discussion was prompted by Mayor Richard Alcombright, Northern Berkshire Interfaith Organization, and concerned residents. "The closing of Price Chopper has put pressure on many residents in the West End who depended on the proximity of that store to get groceries," stated Mayor Alcombright. "Our Interfaith Organization did a great job in bringing awareness to this issue and our good friends at BRTA stepped up in a big way to provide folks with an affordable and convenient option."
Starting April 25, 2016, the Route 3 will now go through the Big Y parking lot, instead of traveling on Veterans Memorial Drive. The Route 3 bus currently has a bus stop at Stop and Shop. BRTA Administrator, Robert Malnati, commented, "The BRTA is pleased to assist in the process and offer a cost effective solution for transit services to serve those residents impacted by the closing of their neighborhood supermarket."
The fare for a local trip is $1.75 for exact cash or $1.40 for a Charlie Card. Charlie Cards can be purchased from the bus driver. The reduced fare for a local trip is $0.85 for exact cash or $0.70 Charlie Card is available to seniors (60+), persons with a valid Medicare card, students K-12, and disabled persons with valid Massachusetts Access Pass. BRTA has a Travel Training Program that will provide information or training on how to ride a fixed route bus. Specific schedule, route information, or Travel Training may be obtained by contacting the operations department at 1-800-292-BRTA extension 1.
March 28, 2016
Due to customer feedback, the Berkshire Regional Transit Authority (BRTA) is announcing a change to the fixed route bus service for Pittsfield. At the Tyler Street Business Group's Open House, a need to provide bus service to the Springside neighborhood was discussed. After reviewing this request BRTA's bus routes will still provide service to Tyler Street and will access an additional neighborhood. It was determined that implementing this route change will neither cost additional money, nor would it affect our current riders.
Beginning Monday, April 4, 2016 the Route 4 (Dalton-Hinsdale) bus will service Springside and Elberon Avenues for a 6 month pilot program. Traveling inbound to the Intermodal Transportation Center (ITC) the bus will: depart Rose Manor, take a right onto Elberon, continue onto Springside Avenues, and take a left left onto North Street to the ITC. The bus traveling outbound from the ITC will: head onto North, Wahconah, Charles, and North Streets, then onto Springside, and continue to Elberon Avenues into Rose Manor. From Rose Manor the Route 4 bus will travel as before.
The BRTA operates primarily on a flag stop policy, with some restricted bus stop areas. Persons wishing to board the bus must wave to the bus operator. Buses will stop to pick up or discharge customers wherever it is safe to do so.
Specific schedule or route information may be obtained by contacting the operations department at 1-800-292-BRTA extension 1.
August 10, 2015
Eliminated Service
The BRTA will terminate the pilot Route 8 service connecting Ashley Falls to Gt. Barrington on August 29, 2015. The 6 month pilot program began in April and has carried 79 customers through July 31, 2015. This translates into less than 5 trips per week or less than 1 trip per day of service.
The Route 21 Express will continue until mid October, when the ridership results will be presented to the Gt. Barrington Selectboard.
April 4, 2015
Berkshire Regional Transit Authority is announcing additional fixed route bus service for South County. Beginning Monday, April 13, 2015, there will be an additional express route with limited stops between Great Barrington and Pittsfield mirroring the established 6:10 AM service. The new start time from the ITC in Pittsfield will be at 7:10 AM arriving at the Great Barrington Fairgrounds Plaza at 7:50 AM. Another bus will be leaving the post office in Ashley Falls at 7:25 AM, travelling through Sheffield, to arrive at the Great Barrington Fairgrounds Plaza at 7:53 AM. This allows further travel north bound on the Great Barrington Express to Pittsfield.
In the evening, there will be express service between Pittsfield and Great Barrington leaving the ITC at 4:30 PM and 5:30 PM. The 5:30 PM bus will leave the Great Barrington Fairgrounds Plaza at 6:15 PM, traveling through Sheffield, to the Ashley Falls Post Office arriving at 6:43 PM. At 6:55 PM, the bus will depart the Great Barrington Fairgrounds Plaza and arrive at the ITC in Pittsfield at 7:55 PM.
As this new service is meant to be express service between South County and Pittsfield, the traditional flag stop option will not be available at this time.
This is a proposed 6 month trial service ending October 13, 2015.
Specific schedule or route information may be obtained by contacting the operations department at 1-800-292-BRTA extension 1.

BRTA to service new North Adams Wal-Mart
Effective Monday May 6, 2013 the Berkshire Regional Transit Authority will begin making the following service enhancements to better serve the new Wal-Mart on the Curran Highway scheduled to open on May 8, 2013.
Route 1- Pittsfield to North Adams-Route 1 will be servicing Wal-Mart in both the Northbound and Southbound direction. With the addition of the new stop, Route 1 will now arrive in downtown North Adams 5 minutes later at :45 after the hour. This route will leave Main Street North Adams towards Pittsfield at the same time of :20 after the hour. Arrival and departure times in Pittsfield do not change.
Traveling North from Adams the bus will depart Wal-Mart at :33 after the hour. Traveling South from North Adams the bus will depart at :29 after the hour.
Route 31- North Adams Hospital-This route will now leave Main Street 5 minutes later at :45 after the hour and do the loop to the North Adams Hospital. It will no longer continue down the Curran Highway to the existing Wal-Mart location.
Route 3-Williamstown to North Adams- Leaving 5 minutes earlier at :20 after the hour, this route will now service Curran Highway to the old Wal-Mart. Returning to Main Street North Adams the Williamstown leg will leave 5 minutes later at :30 after. Departure from the Williams Inn does not change, leaving at :55 after, as does the arrival in North Adams at :20 after.
"I want to thank Gary Shepard and the entire BRTA staff for providing these updated options that will provide convenience to both shoppers and workers at the new Walmart," said North Adams Mayor Richard J. Alcombright. "BRTA provides an invaluable service to our greater north Berkshire community and this creative scheduling will benefit many."
The service area has not changed, only a variance in which route performs the service with up to a 5 minute change in time. This change will allow workers and customers access to the new Wal-Mart both earlier and later in the day. BRTA looks forward to servicing the new North Adams Wal-Mart location while providing safe, efficient transporation for the people of Berkshire County.
The new schedules will be available soon. Individuals with questions can contact the BRTA at 413-499-2782 ext 1.
A FREE smartphone application to access BRTA bus information is now available! Instead of looking down the street for the next available bus, simply use your smartphone.

January 30, 2012
The Berkshire Regional Transit Authority (BRTA)'s new fleet of 15 paratransit vehicles will be in service February 1, 2012. For the first time, BRTA will own the mini-buses used to transport people with mobility challenges and disabilities.
According to BRTA Administrator Gary Shepard, "Paratransit is an essential service allowing people with mobility challenges to travel where they need to go, whether it's to the doctor, an appointment or to a social event. While the procedure and price point for services remain the same, patrons will ultimately be more comfortable in these brand-new, efficient mini-buses." Each year, there are more than 80,000 requests from over 6,000 people for paratransit service across the Berkshires.
The new mini-buses are clearly identifiable by their BRTA purple color scheme. Drivers will wear similarly styled identification badges to help ensure passengers' familiarity and safety. This new fleet will be owned and maintained by the BRTA, and operated by County Ambulance.
BRTA received these new mini-buses, worth $1.34 million, through a grant from the federal Mobility Assistance Program (MAP). These vehicles are fully accessible and feature a safety camera system. BRTA also seeks to add Mobile Data Terminals and GPS locators for dispatching the vehicles in its final phase of paratransit improvement.
A person's eligibility for public transportation paratransit services will be determined by their mobility and functional ability regarding access to navigate the fixed route service. For ADA travelers, fares are $2.50 per town of travel with a maximum fare of $10.00 for a one-way trip, during days and hours of fixed route bus operation. Non-ADA service is available in member communities 24/7 for $7.50 initially and $2.50 for each additional town with no maximum fare. To reserve a ride, call County Ambulance at 413.499.2527.
Comments received during the 30 day public comment period in June 2011 were presented to the BRTA Advisory Board. They maintained the final trip to West Pittsfield's Route 15 and voted to implement all service changes in this link (PDF) on September 5, 2011. Because the BRTA will not operate on Labor Day, the first day of service for these changes will be Tuesday September 6, 2011.

The blog of the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation
President Clinton kicks off the first Clinton Global Initiative focused exclusively on America. This conference is focused on revitalizing the economy. I was invited to represent Knight and join in the working groups on service corps. We had a preliminary work call last week and will meet over the next two days to discuss transformnig "economic dislocation into community engagement." Other groups are focused on STEM education, Veterans, workforce development, startups, manufacturing, healthcare workforce, infrastructure and the rural economy.
President Clinton's first recognition and thank you was to the soon to be launched Kiva Detroit. And to the scaling of Kiva in U.S.cities. And even more cool - Anuja Jaitly - yes that Anuja Jaitly, joined three colleagues on stage with the former president.

A new client of ours bought and has been using your paid $7 slideshow for some time now. After he upgraded the plugin last week from the WP admin it quit working.
Looking here in support, I see that we had to delete it, then download it again from your member area.
We did that, but you can still see the problem here - redipour.com/redipour-gallery/ where it appears to just show code.
Oddly, if you click on the left, all of the slideshows DO work fine, and all of the images are actually there, it's just the main page showing a problem when the visitor first arrives.
I tried a new page - inserted a new slideshow and it did the same thing.
I tried changing themes to another theme, and had not quite the same problem - still no image showing, but instead of making the code visible, it just showed a black space
Finally, I tried the WP Twenty Ten theme, and with that your gallery worked fine, so it's not another plugin conflict. Clearly it's something about our theme?
We're worked too hard on this theme to change, and the theme developer has offered to look, but can't get it figured out either.
The theme we're using does use a java slideshow on the home page, but that's not in place on the gallery page. Can you give us any ideas where to look, or explain how your plugin works?

Appearance and Character
- See also: Images of Aegon Targaryen
According to semi-canonical sources, Aegon looks like a Targaryen, taking after his father, Rhaegar.[3][4][5] As an infant, Aegon had "fair hair".[6]
The older Aegon is described as a lithe and well-made youth, with a lanky build.[7] According to Haldon, Aegon is as tall as Jon Connington.[7] That Aegon has a lanky build suggests that he has yet to reach his full height. In disguise, Aegon had his hair dyed blue, which also hid his true eye colour.[8] Tyrion Lannister noted that Aegon's eyes seem to be dark blue, but looked black by lamplight, and purple in the light of dusk. His eyelashes are long, seemingly feminine.[9] He is exceptionally handsome and has the Valyrian features of silver hair and purple eyes, the known Targaryen features, both of which are also present in his aunt Daenerys. Jon Connington notes that Aegon's eyes are a lighter shade of purple than Rhaegar's eyes had been.[8][10]
Aegon is well educated and intelligent, speaking several languages, and is well versed in history. He speaks the Common Tongue as a native speaker. He is fluent in High Valyrian, in the Bastard Valyrian dialects of Pentos, Tyrosh, Myr, and Lys, and in Trade Talk. He is a novice at speaking the dialect of Volantis, only familiar with a few of its words. The dialect of Meereen, whose terms derive from both Valyrian and Ghiscari, gives him trouble.[9] He has some training in mathematics, with a decent knowledge of sums and a limited understanding of geometry. He also has been trained in songs. Tyrion notes that Aegon is more learned than "half the lords in Westeros".[9]
A comet was seen above King's Landing on the night Aegon was conceived, which led his father Rhaegar Targaryen to believe that he was the prince that was promised. The comet was seen as "the bleeding star" of the prophecy. Maester Aemon was aware of Rhaegar's beliefs, though it is unclear if he shared them. Aemon would later came to doubt the wisdom of looking for a prince, rather than a princess. He realized there was a translation error, and that the term translated was fluid in terms of gender. This is connected to the term for dragons, which are neither male nor female.[11] It should be noted that at this moment in time, Aemon believed Aegon to be dead.
Sack of King's Landing
Aegon was just an infant during Robert's Rebellion,[12][13] having been born just a few months before its onset. Prior to the Battle of the Trident, Aegon's great-uncle, Prince Lewyn Martell, was reminded gracelessly by King Aerys II that Aegon, and his sister and mother, were in Aerys' hands. Lewyn was then ordered to take command of the ten thousand Dornishmen who were marching up the Kingsroad. During the Battle of the Trident, Aegon's father Rhaegar and great-uncle Lewyn died, amongst others, and King Aerys II decided to send his wife, Queen Rhaella, and their last remaining son, Prince Viserys, to Dragonstone for safety. The original plan had been for Elia to join them, but Aerys came to blame the loss of the battle on Prince Lewyn Martell of the Kingsguard, accusing him of having betrayed Rhaegar. He thus chose to keep Elia and her children by his side as hostages to ensure continued Dornish loyalty.[14]
With the death of Rhaegar, Grandmaester Pycelle was convinced that the war was effectively over, and that House Targaryen could no longer offer a proper king to the realm. Pycelle worked to convince Aerys II to open the gates of King's Landing to the Lannister forces, secretly hoping Tywin Lannister would rise to the throne.[15]
A fortnight after the royal forces had left for the Trident, the Sack of King's Landing occured. During the Sack, Jaime Lannister killed Aerys in the throne room of the Red Keep. Jaime, though the only Kingsguard member left in the city, didn't think his father, whose troops were attacking the city, would harm little Aegon and his young sister. But while Jaime was standing over Aerys' corpse, Gregor Clegane and Amory Lorch were already scaling the walls of Maegor's Holdfast. Aegon, his sister and his mother were brutally killed in the process. The deaths of Aegon and Rhaenys caused a fight between Eddard Stark and Robert Baratheon, and also began the feud between House Martell and House Lannister, as well as caused Dorne to remain loyal to the Iron Throne only by name, interacting with the other kingdoms as little as necessary.
During the Sack, Jaime Lannister, unaware of what was occuring at the Holdfast, briefly toyed with the idea of proclaiming a new Targaryen king. Tywin Lannister would gain control as Hand of the King, the "wolves" of the North would howl in frustration and Robert Baratheon would choke with rage. For a moment, Jaime found this option tempting, until he recalled that both Aegon and Viserys had inherited the blood of Aerys and with it, the potential for madness. Jaime decided against supporting either one of them.[16]
Accounts and Motivations
Viserys often told stories to his sister Daenerys. One of these stories involved the Sack of King's Landing by the "Usurper's dogs", Tywin Lannister and Eddard Stark. In this story, Elia Martell was pleading for mercy as Aegon was ripped from her breast and murdered before her eyes. Aegon was "Rhaegar's heir".[17] Daenerys later recalled an additional detail, that Aegon's head had been dashed against a wall.[18] Eddard Stark recalls that "Lord Tywin's soldiers" had torn Aegon from his mother's breast and dashed his head against a wall. They were also said to have dragged Rhaenys from beneath her bed, putting her to the sword.[19] Eddard Stark had heard rumors that it was Gregor Clegane who dashed the skull of infant Aegon against a wall. It was whispered that afterward Gregor had raped Elia Martell, and then put her to the sword. At the time Gregor was only seventeen. Nobody dared to repeat these rumors when Gregor himself could be listening.[13] According to Tyrion Lannister, the responsibility of Gregor for the murders of Elia and Aegon was "common knowledge" in Casterly Rock. The tale went that while Gregor raped Elia, his hands were still covered in the blood and brains of Aegon.[20] A wounded Gregor later narrated a brief account of the events to Oberyn Martell, while killing him. He had first killed Aegon, the "screaming whelp". Then came the rape of Elia; Clegane claimed to have smashed her head with his bare hands, the same method Gregor used to finish off Oberyn.[21]
Tywin Lannister later narrated his view of the events to his son Tyrion. Rhaenys was hiding under Rhaegar's bed, while Elia and Aegon were in the nursery, just a floor below the location of Rhaenys. Tywin had kept the Westerlands from joining Robert's cause for most of the Rebellion. They had only joined said cause at the last stage of the war, and their loyalty would be suspected. He needed a way to demonstrate loyalty to Robert, a way to convince people that the Lannisters had severed all ties to House Targaryen. In addition, Eddard Stark was also heading toward King's Landing, leading Robert's army south from the Trident. Instead of the Lannister and Stark forces meeting as allies, there was still a chance for the two armies to clash. Tywin also feared that his elder son Jaime might do something stupid or that Aerys would kill Jaime for no more reason than sheer spite.[22]
Tywin also narrated his reasons for the murders. By eliminating Rhaegar's children, in a single move the Lannisters would be proving their commitment to Baratheon's cause and securing the throne for Robert by eliminating rival claimants for the throne. Tywin himself was somewhat surprised by the result of his commands. The murders were performed "too brutally" for his needs; he insisted that Elia didn't have to die, it happened because he didn't specify she should be spared. He had not grasped yet that Gregor was bestial, not just "terrible in battle".[22]
Oberyn Martell had another view on Tywin's motives. Elia was once supposed to marry Jaime Lannister, based on an agreement between her mother and Joanna Lannister. Following the death of Joanna, Tywin broke the agreement, though he offered Tyrion as a a prospective bridegroom instead of Jaime, taunting the Martells. He had also informed them that his own daughter, Cersei Lannister, was meant for Rhaegar, not for Oberyn. When Elia married Rhaegar, the Martells had ruined Tywin's plans. Tywin was "not a man to forget such slights". Oberyn believed that the murder of Elia was decided by Tywin, to teach Elia the same lesson that Houses Reyne and Tarbeck had learned.[21]
Eddard Stark recalled how Tywin Lannister presented Robert Baratheon with the corpses of Elia, Aegon, and Rhaenys: his "token of fealty".[19] Tywin had laid the bodies beneath the Iron Throne, wrapped in the crimson cloaks of his house guard - a clever choice, as the blood was less obvious against the red cloth. Rhaenys had been barefoot, dressed in a bed gown. The condition of the boy horrified Eddard.[23] The skull was a "red ruin", and even Robert Baratheon could not stand its sight.[12] Kevan Lannister was also present during this scene. He was able to recognize Rhaenys, but recalls that nobody could recognize Aegon. All that remained of the boy was a faceless horror of bone, brain, and gore with a few hanks of fair hair. Tywin stated that this was Aegon and everyone else took him at his word. Seventeen years later, however, Kevan expresses uncertainty about the identity of the babe.[6]
Reactions to the death
- Robert Baratheon was actually relieved and glad that Rhaegar's children were killed. Robert viewed himself as a hero, and was reluctant to kill children, but he knew Rhaegar's children had to die if his throne was ever to be secure. Tywin painted himself as the villain, allowing Robert to keep his hands clean, the reason Robert refused to punish any of the Lannisters for the brutal act.[22] Upon the protest of his friend Eddard Stark that the two children had been no more than babes, Robert had named Aegon and his sister "dragonspawn".[19]
- Tywin Lannister knew that killing both children would prove to Robert Baratheon that House Lannister had forsaken House Targaryen forever. Years later, Tyrion came to question the wisdom of the act. Robert Baratheon would have bloodied his own hands, soiling his own reputation, if he had done the deed himself. Instead, the Lannisters had damaged their own reputation, gaining long-term enemies in the process. Tywin Lannister claimed the act had been necessary, because House Lannister had come into the war only at the end.[22]
- Eddard Stark called the act murder, Robert called it war. Eddard protested that Aegon and Rhaenys were "no more than babes", but Robert disagreed, calling the children "dragonspawn". The two men quarreled over the matter, and even Jon Arryn was unable to calm them. Eddard had ridden out of King's Landing in a cold rage, heading south to fight the last battles of the war on his own. He and Robert would only be reconciled by their shared grief over the death of Lyanna.[19]
- Thoros of Myr claims to have personally seen the corpses of Aegon and Rhaenys, as they were placed before the Iron Throne. In his view, House Clegane was "built upon dead children" and their arms should display "two bloody infants".[24]
- Arianne Martell calls Robert Baratheon a monster who climbed onto his throne over the corpses of children, directly connecting his rise to the murders of Aegon and Rhaenys. Robert is not held in high regard in Dorne.[25]
- Viserys Targaryen was convinced that the Dornishmen were determined to avenge Elia and her children, and would thus rise to his cause.[17]
- Years following the murders, Doran Martell still mourns for the victims. According to Varys, Prince Doran's hatred for House Lannister is well known.[20] Doran himself claims to have worked at the downfall of Tywin Lannister since they first brought him word of the fates of Elia and her children.[26]
- Oberyn Martell, in his words, hungered for justice for sixteen years. He was certain that Gregor had been following orders rather than acting on his own,[27] and wanted vengeance on the man who gave the orders, not just the man who performed the deed.[28]
- Nymeria Sand believes that the only fitting payment for the death of Elia's children would be the death of "Lord Tywin's golden twins". Cersei and Jaime would pay with their lives for the old murders.[29]
- Jacelyn Bywater stated to Tyrion Lannister there were still whispers in King's Landing that "the butchery of Rhaegar's children" was one of the sins of House Lannister and that the Seven would punish the entire city for the the act.[30]
- Daenerys Targaryen is unable to see a difference between Houses Lannister and Stark. She considers Eddard Stark also responsible for the murders of Rhaenys and Aegon, arguing that "the Usurper's dogs" acted as a pack of hounds, hunting children. Which individual hound kills a child doesn't matter, all the dogs are equally guilty. Barristan Selmy disagrees with her, and has tried to explain the distinction between Eddard, who wasn't even present at King's Landing, and Tywin. Daenerys notices a "flicker of disapproval" in his face when she insists on her original opinion.[31]
- Barristan Selmy himself has been haunted by the "bloody bodies" of Aegon and Rhaenys. His serious injuries following the Battle of the Trident prevented him from personally examining the corpses, but he wondered for years about whether Robert smiled at the bodies. Selmy concludes that such a smile would've led him to kill Robert, and that no army could have saved him.[32]
- Maester Yandel, when recording the history of Robert's Rebellion, not wishing to offend or anger either King Robert Baratheon or Lord Tywin, tries to paint the events of the murder in a way that did not cast a negative light on those who sided with King Robert. Yandel writes the following about the murder of Elia and her children:
|It is tragic that the blood spilled in war may as readily be innocent as it is guilty, and those who ravished and murdered Princess Elia escaped justice. It is not known who murdered Princess Rhaenys in her bed, or smashed the infant Prince Aegon's head against a wall. Some whisper it was done at Aerys' own command when he learned Lord Lannister had taken up Robert's cause, while others suggest that Elia did it herself for fear of what would happen to her children in the hands of her dead husband's enemies. [33]
Reported survival
Aboard the Shy Maid a young man claiming to be Aegon explains his apparent survival to Tyrion Lannister. According to his account, the infant killed during the Sack of King's Landing was a tanner's infant son born at the Pisswater Bend, a street of King's Landing.
The child's mother had died at birth. The tanner sold his boy to Varys for a jug of Arbor gold wine, since he already had other sons, but had never tasted Arbor gold. Varys then arranged the swap between the two infants. Elia received the tanner's son (whom Tyrion dubs the pisswater prince), while Varys took custody of the real Prince Aegon.[34]
Tyrion Lannister deduces the rest of the story. Once the impostor infant was "safely dead", Varys smuggled the genuine Aegon Targaryen across the narrow sea. Varys first entrusted the boy to Illyrio Mopatis and eventually found an adoptive father for Aegon in the person of exiled Lord Jon Connington. Aegon does not comment on Tyrion's deductions.[34]
There is a hint that Tyrion may have harboured doubts as to whether or not Aegon is actually Aegon Targaryen. When Young Griff loses their game of cyvasse after being tricked by Tyrion he gets angry and kicks over the cyvasse board. He immediately commands Tyrion to pick up the pieces. As Tyrion is about to do so he thinks to himself:
|He may well be a Targaryen after all.
Once Aegon and his troops have landed in Westeros, Aegon and his claim are discussed by the Small Council in King's Landing. Here, Kevan Lannister expresses doubts about whether or not Prince Aegon had actually died during the Sack of King's Landing, remembering that no one had dared to look too long at the body of the small babe. When Tywin Lannister had said that the child was Aegon, Rhaegar's son, everyone took him for his word. Kevan doesn't express these doubts out loud to the council, however, keeping them to himself instead.[6]
Line of succession to the Iron Throne
After Rhaegar died on the Trident, Prince Viserys Targaryen was apparently named heir to the throne by King Aerys II Targaryen, while Aegon was still alive.[35] After Aerys's death Viserys was declared king on Dragonstone.[36] Viserys would later name his sister Daenerys his heir, by declaring her to be the Princess of Dragonstone.[17][37]
Aegon himself, as well as Tyrion Lannister, believe Aegon's claim is stronger than Daenerys's claim.[34][38] According to the relevant succession laws,
|The sons of the first son come before the second son.[39]
Aegon is a son of Rhaegar Targaryen, who was himself the eldest son of Aerys II Targaryen, which would, under normal circumstances, place Aegon higher in the Targaryen succession line than both Viserys (Aerys II's second son) and Daenerys (the daughter of Aerys II).[39] However, documents from the end of King Aerys II's reign give doubt to the fact that Aegon's claim is truly stronger.[35][40]
In both 92 AC and 101 AC, the succession of House Targaryen was brought into question when the proclaimed heir of King Jaehaerys I Targaryen died. On both occasions, the male line through a younger son was chosen over the female line through the elder (but deceased) son, by first choosing the King's second son, Baelon, over the elder son's heir, Rhaenys, and by later chosing Baelon's elder son over Rhaenys's son, after Baelon's death.[41] According to Archmaester Gyldayn, in the eyes of many, the council of 101 AC established an iron precedent on matters of succession: that the Iron Throne could not pass to a woman, or to a male descendant of a woman.[41] King Viserys I wished to set a new precedent by naming his daughter Rhaenyra his heir, despite the fact that he had three sons,[42][43] an issue over which eventually a civil war called the Dance of the Dragons was fought.[44][45] When King Baelor I Targaryen died without a son of his own, and without having proclaimed a specific heir, the claims of all three of Baelor's sisters, as well as the claim of Baelor's uncle (his closest living male relative) were discussed. The claims of his sisters were eventually dismissed.[46] Further, in the Great Council of 233 AC, Aegon V Targaryen was crowned King despite the fact that the infant son of his older brother was still alive.[47]
After her brother's death in Vaes Dothrak, Daenerys names herself a queen.[48] If Aegon's claim is a rightful one then the people of Westeros might see his claim as stronger than Daenerys's claim. Nevertheless, Daenerys is Queen of Meereen in her own right, having conquered the city and installed herself as ruler.
However, in contrast to the alleged Aegon Targaryen, Daenerys Targaryen's lineage is not under suspicion. During a small council meeting in the Red Keep's throne room concerning the Targaryen pretender, Kevan Lannister says as much, stating that there is
|A second Targaryen, and one whose blood no man can question. Daenerys Stormborn.[6]
During the Golden Company's rendezvous with Jon Connington in Volantis, leader Harry Strickland points out that Aegon's lineage can be questioned and Aegon's marriage to his aunt would quell any doubts,
|Has the sun curdled your brains, Flowers? We need the girl. We need the marriage. If Daenerys accepts our princeling and takes him for her consort, the Seven Kingdoms will do the same. Without her, the lords will only mock his claim and brand him a fraud and a pretender.[38]

Recent Events
A Clash of Kings
One of the visions Daenerys Targaryen sees in the House of the Undying involves Rhaegar, Elia, and Aegon. In this vision, a newborn Aegon nurses from the breast of Elia. The woman is seated in a great wooden bed. Rhaegar decides on the name "Aegon" for his newborn son, as he thinks the name fit for a king. Elia asks whether Rhaegar will make a song for their son. He replies that Aegon already has a song, "the song of ice and fire". Part of his role as "the prince that was promised".
However, Rhaegar then claims that there must be "one more", since "the dragon has three heads". Rhaegar moves to a seat near the window, and picks up a harp. Daenerys listens to the "sweet sadness" of his music as the vision fades away.[49]
Daenerys later describes this vision to Jorah Mormont. Jorah helps her confirm the identities of the people in this vision but points out that if Aegon was the promised prince, the promise was broken with his death.[50] Daenerys notices a pattern in the names Rhaegar chose for his children. They were named after Aegon I Targaryen and his sisters. There was a daughter named after the original Rhaenys Targaryen, but none named after Visenya. She wonders if that was the missing third head of the dragon. Neither Daenerys nor Jorah have heard of the term "song of ice and fire". They are unable to determine its meaning.[50]
A Dance with Dragons
While in Meereen, Daenerys Targaryen muses about Aegon who would have been the sixth of his name to sit on the Iron Throne. She is yet unaware that he is alive.[51] She believes that, had Aegon lived, she might have married him, as he would have been closer to her in age than Viserys.[51]
In 300 AC, Illyrio Mopatis and Tyrion Lannister jointly depart Pentos, heading towards the river Rhoyne. On the journey Illyrio explains the purpose of Tyrion's mission. Tyrion and "Griff" (Jon Connington in disguise) are to head towards Volantis and wait for the expected arrival of Daenerys Targaryen in that city, with fresh forces and more ships for her cause. Based on Illyrio's information, Daenerys has conquered Astapor, made Yunkai bend the knee and sacked Meereen. He estimates that Daenerys is heading westwards, either by land to Mantarys or by sea to Volantis.[52]
Tyrion wants more information on Griff, who Illyrio supposedly trusts as a brother. Illyrio simply points that unlike most sellswords, Griff is a doting father. He also mentions that his boy, "Young Griff" (Aegon's secret identity) is a noble lad.[52] Once aboard the Shy Maid, Tyrion is introduced to "Young Griff", a young man who dyes his hair blue in memory of his late mother, who was from Tyrosh.[7]
During his time on the boat, Tyrion manages to extract information from Haldon, while playing a game of cyvasse, by convincing the half-maester to play for secrets. Haldon loses, and upon coming back on deck three hours after their game began, Tyrion witnesses the boat colliding with a turtle, who is dubbed by the crew to have been the Old Man of the River. Tyrion, amused and with the newly learned secrets fresh in his mind, then thinks to himself:
|Why not? Gods and wonders always appear, to attend the birth of kings.[9]
Though Tyrion keeps his knowledge on Aegon's identity to himself for a while, he later reveals to Aegon that he knows who he is. Tyrion states that dying his hair blue had served well to make Aegon's violet eyes appear blue, and that that was a good thing, but that the entire story was enough to make a curious man wonder.[8]
During their journey further down the Rhoyne on the Shy Maid, Tyrion and Aegon play a game of cyvasse. During the game, Tyrion fishes for information as to Connington and Illyrio's plan, namely that Aegon will be married to his aunt Daenerys. Tyrion warns the prince that Daenerys might not be accommodating, shocking Aegon. Tyrion points out that Daenerys is a proud, strong, and fierce young woman who will not appreciate a relative coming to her with a begging bowl, certainly not one with a stronger claim to the Iron Throne than her own. Aegon angrily denies being a beggar, pointing at his own army: the Golden Company. Tyrion points out that Daenerys has a larger army than his own and owes nothing to Aegon. Aegon protests, trusting in Lord Connington to win her over. Tyrion calls him a fool, warning him:
|Trust no one, my prince.[34]
Tyrion plants the seeds of doubt in the young prince, pointing out that Haldon, Jon Connington, Rolly Duckfield, Lemore and every one of the friends who raised him could also betray him, and that Illyrio Mopatis, Varys, and Daenerys are even less trustworthy.[34] He then suggests a different course of action to Aegon: heading to Westeros instead of going east, taking advantage of all the problems caused by the War of the Five Kings. Tyrion points out that the North is in a chaotic condition, the Riverlands are devastated, and Stannis Baratheon holds Storm's End and Dragonstone. The coming winter will starve out the realm. He then paints the opposition as particularly weak. He points out that King Tommen Baratheon is just a boy, and all his potential regents come with their own problems. Cersei Lannister will alienate her own allies, Jaime Lannister actively avoids the responsibility of ruling, and Kevan Lannister is a born follower. Mace Tyrell will have to fight the Lannisters to become regent, and Stannis' unpopularity makes him an unlikely choice. Only a victorious Aegon can hope to meet Daenerys as her equal. The game of cyvasse ends with a loss for Aegon.[34]
Their journey brings them to Volon Therys, where Jon Connington and Aegon depart the ship, heading towards the camp of the Golden Company. Connington introduces "Young Griff" as Aegon VI, King of the Andals, Rhoynar, and the First Men. This introduction is met with silence by the officers. Connington realizes that all of them were aware of Aegon's identity for some time.[38]
Connington and the the officers briefly discuss Daenerys' lingering presence in Meereen, and whether they should join the ongoing conflict in Slaver's Bay. Several of them are already disillusioned with Daenerys. Aegon sees the opportunity to introduce his own plan of going to Westeros and claiming the throne in his own name. Strickland tries to point out the risk of this plan, but most of the officers are eager to support this course of action. Aegon further explains that his aunt is welcome to keep Meereen. His plan is to move fast and strike hard, gaining a foothold before the Lannisters can react. This would certainly gain them some new allies. Connington is impressed, thinking that this is a new side of Aegon. All officers swear allegiance to Aegon. They agree, however, to keep his identity secret from the soldiers at least until they actually land in Westeros.[38]
A little while later, Tyrion, now Ser Jorah Mormont's captive in Volantis, is informed by him that "some exiled lord" has hired the Golden Company to win back his lands for him. Tyrion, knowing about Aegon, almost chokes on the locust he is eating. He wonders if it is true,
|Could the pretty princeling have swallowed the bait? Turned west instead of east, abandoning his hopes of wedding Queen Daenerys? Abandoning the dragons ... would Griff allow that?
The entire Golden Company, 10,000 men strong, soon depart Volantis. Not quite half of them make it to Westeros, landing at Cape Wrath and Greenstone. Connington leads a quarter of the forces in seizing Griffin's Roost. Simultaneously Tristan Rivers besieges Crow's Nest, and Laswell Peake besieges Rain House. Aegon remains in their camp, guarded by the remaining quarter of the Company under Gorys Edoryen. Haldon collects information about the military and diplomatic situation across Westeros. He already considers marital alliances for King Aegon and his Hand of the King, Jon Connington. The latter is against both such plans.[10]
Connington receives news that some of the missing four ships landed in Estermont. Marq Mandrake has led the men there in capturing Greenstone. The rest of the ships are still missing. Franklyn Flowers suggests that the missing men are scattered across the Stepstones. Connington decides to bring Aegon to Griffin's Roost for increased safety. Franklyn points out, however, that Aegon would like to be in the thick of things.[10] Connington has a plan to capture Storm's End, last foothold of Stannis in the Stormlands.[10]
Four days later, Aegon arrives at Griffin's Roost. He rides at the head of a column including a hundred horses with their riders, and three elephants. He is accompanied by Lemore and Rolly Duckfield, the first person in his version of the Kingsguard.[10] Connington remembers arguing with Aegon over the appointment of Rolly. Connington had pointed out that positions in the Kingsguard should be reserved for warriors of great renown and/or sons of great lords. Aegon pointed out that Jaime Lannister fit that description perfectly, and was currently known as the Kingslayer. He would rather have men personally loyal to himself, ready to die for his safety.[10]
Connington asks to have the Prince escorted to his solar, but soon realizes that Prince Aegon is less pliant than Young Griff. Aegon leaves him waiting for "the better half of a hour", bringing Duck with him instead of coming alone. Connington tries to dismiss the bodyguard, but Aegon insists on having Rolly by his side. Aegon mentions discussing the plan to take Storm's End with Strickland and Flowers. Strickland even tries to persuade him to delay the plan. Aegon, however, feels Strickland is a bit of "an old maid" and is in favour of the plan, with one significant change: he intends to personally lead the attack.[10]
In the interim Tyrion Lannister has escaped slavery and joined the Second Sons encamped outside the walls of Meereen. Thus far he has kept his sojourn on the Shy Maid and the knowledge of Prince Aegon's survival to himself.
When news of Aegon's survival reaches King's Landing, the small council of King Tommen I Baratheon declare him to be a pretender. Kevan Lannister, on the other hand, recalls Jon Connington from his time at Aerys II's court, and silently wonders whether Aegon could truly have survived, recalling how the babe killed by Gregor Clegane had been unrecognizable.
|Kevan Lannister had been here, in this very hall when Tywin had laid the bodies of Prince Rhaegar's children at the foot of the Iron Throne, wrapped up in crimson cloaks. The girl had been recognizably the Princess Rhaenys, but the boy … a faceless horror of bone and brain and gore, a few hanks of fair hair. None of us looked long. Tywin said that it was Prince Aegon, and we took him at his word.[6]
The Winds of Winter
Arianne Martell has departed Sunspear on a mission from her father to discover the truth about Aegon Targaryen. On the castle battlements of Ghost Hill she asks Ser Daemon Sand if it could truly be Prince Aegon. Daemon does not believe it, stating:
|If Lord Connington's prince has a crushed skull, I will believe that Aegon Targaryen has returned from the grave. Elsewise, no. This is some feigned boy, no more. A sellsword's ploy to win support.[53]
Quotes by Aegon
|Why should I go running to my aunt as if I were a beggar? My claim is better than her own. Let her come to me … in Westeros.[38]
|I am the only dragon that you need.[38]
Quotes about Aegon
|Aegon has been shaped for rule before he could walk. He has been trained in arms, as befits a knight to be, but that was not the end of his education. He reads and writes, he speaks several tongues, he has studied history and law and poetry. A septa has instructed him in the mysteries of the Faith since he was old enough to understand them. He has lived with fisherfolk, worked with his hands, swum in rivers and mended nets and learned to wash his own clothes at need. He can fish and cook and bind up a wound, he knows what it is like to be hungry, to be hunted, to be afraid. Tommen has been taught that kingship is his right. Aegon knows kingship is his duty, that a king must put his people first, and live and rule for them.[6]
|The perfect prince but still half a boy for all that, with little and less experience of the world and all its woes.[34]
|My lord father wrapped your corpse in a crimson cloak and laid you down beside your sister at the foot of the Iron Throne, his gift to the new king. Those who had the stomach to lift the cloak said that half your head was gone.[8]
|How do you suppose this queen will react when you turn up with your begging bowl in hand and say 'Good morrow to you, Auntie. I'm your nephew Aegon, returned from the dead. I've been hiding on a poleboat all my life, but now I've washed the blue dye from my hair and I'd like a dragon please... and oh, did I mention that my claim to the Iron Throne is stronger than yours?[34]
|A faceless horror of bone and brain and gore. None of us looked long. Tywin said that it was Prince Aegon and we took him at his word.[6]

Altered Food: To Label or Not?
Published: May 11, 2000
To the Editor:
Re ''The F.D.A. Chickens Out,'' by Andrew Kimbrell (Op-Ed, May 8): A mandatory label indicating genetic modification raises questions about the safety of biotech foods that have been reviewed and found safe. A National Academy of Sciences panel has ''found no distinction between the health and environmental risks posed by plants modified through modern genetic engineering techniques and those produced by conventional breeding practices.''
The F.D.A. has a policy in place that requires labeling if products of biotechnology differ from traditional products in terms of composition, nutritional content or allergenicity. Mandatory labeling is reserved for health and safety issues, while voluntary labeling is a way for the marketplace to help consumers determine which features and benefits they prefer.
