Of The Post and Courier staff
At the conservation lab that bears his name, Warren Lasch had his Friends of the Hunley team assembled for an appreciation reception a few weeks ago.
It was like a postgame wrap-up - something his hero, Vince Lombardi, had done countless times. Just a simple thank-you speech.
But standing in an industrial-sized room full of people who had donated countless hours and money to see the lost Confederate submarine returned home and rehabilitated, Lasch was overcome with the emotion he'd kept bottled up for four years.
It hit him like a sledgehammer.
Throughout the Hunley project, Lasch had taken a businesslike approach to his work. He rarely showed any signs of the impact of historic events taking place around him even though there had been more than a handful of touching moments.
He'd been genuinely surprised when the Hunley lab was named after him. He'd watched the Confederate submarine rise from the depths of the Atlantic Ocean and rode with it on a transport barge through Charleston Harbor as it completed its journey.
He had helped excavate the sub's interior, gazing respectfully at the remains of men he considered among the bravest in history.
But through it all, he had remained the boss, the director, the - well - the coach.
But just a few hours before this reception, Lasch had held in his hand a heavy, warped, gold $20 piece dated 1860. That coin had saved Hunley commander Lt. George E. Dixon's life at Shiloh, where a bullet meant for his thigh struck gold instead. Dixon carried the coin to his grave aboard the lost torpedo boat.
The coin had been found the night before, and for Lasch it represented many things. It proved true the legend of the first attack submarine, it spoke of a tragic love story, and it was a gleaming sign that the Friends of the Hunley had succeeded. Mission accomplished.
As he gazed out at his team, his Hunley crew, tears began to form in his eyes.
"The Hunley never had problems getting volunteers for its crew 137 years ago," Lasch said. "And we still don't have a problem. I believe the crew of the Hunley recognized and accepted their fate. My thought is that Dixon turned to the crew and said, 'We were successful, but we're not going to make it home. Look each other in the eye - you'll never be part of a better team.'"
The statement struck the cavernous room silent. Volunteers, who had been expecting a typical pep talk, later recalled being touched by his message. Here was a man, a self-made millionaire, a captain of industry, thanking them from the bottom of his heart.
"You could have heard a pin drop," recalled John Downs, one of the volunteers at the Hunley lab. "It was moving."
It was an insightful moment in the life of the man who, his friends say, deserves a huge share of the credit for bringing the Hunley safely home. His friends say you cannot heap enough praise on Lasch, who has spent countless hours and dollars ensuring the lost Confederate submarine would be around for generations to come.
"He has been the reason for the success of the effort," says retired Rear Adm. William Schachte, a member of the Hunley Commission. "This is his project."
Completing the journey of the H.L. Hunley has been a wild ride for the chairman of Friends of the Hunley. Six years ago, he hadn't even heard of the submarine. Now, with the praise of such groups as the Civil War Preservation Trust, he is considered its savior.
"I just could not have had a better partner in this," says Sen. Glenn McConnell, chairman of the Hunley Commission. "We could not have raised the Hunley without Warren."
Warren Lasch greets everyone with a solid handshake and an "always a pleasure." Coming from him, it doesn't sound like a simple platitude.
He is a classic prankster. During the recovery of the Hunley, he watched as McConnell was hoisted by Billy Pew from a transport boat to the barge platform. As McConnell hung on for dear life above the ocean surface, Lasch called the cell phone on the senator's belt. Just to see if he'd forget and reach for it.
With an almost boyish charm, Lasch warms to people immediately, as if he's known them his entire life. He can meet one person in a crowded room, spot him on the street a week later, and remember his name. If he hadn't been so good at business, he could have mastered public relations. "I think he's just a super person," says Downs. "From the first time you meet him, it seems like he genuinely cares about you - and what you have to say."
Still, it would be difficult to find someone less likely at birth to lead the efforts to rescue a lost Civil War submarine.
Warren Lasch was born in Cleveland in 1946, a son of a butcher. As a boy, he and his twin brother would scrape the meat block at Lasch's Meat Market, and then they'd clean the freezer. On the side, Lasch kept up a paper route.
At an early age, his father instilled in Lasch a work ethic that would, years later, drive him to success. In fact, that was a word that has been used to describe Lasch throughout his life: Driven.
"My dad taught me a lot of things," Lasch says. "He was an extremely hard worker. All the kids always thought that, with him being a butcher, we got the best meat. Wrong - he sold it."
Lasch attended Catholic schools in Cleveland. For more than three years, he served as altar boy at the 6 a.m. Mass every day at the St. Joseph Retreat House and its associated cloistered convent. If he committed to something even as a teen-ager, he stuck with it.
In the eighth grade he met Donna Davis. They dated through high school and later married. They've been together ever since. With her at his side, Lasch began to climb the corporate ladder - two rungs at a time.
Lasch's is the classic American success story. He held a full-time job as a machinist during his last two years of high school and then worked his way through college.
While earning his degree at John Carroll University, he took a job in the corporate mailroom of Leaseway Transportation Corp. and, as they say, worked his way up.
By 1971, three years after graduating from John Carroll, Lasch was running a Leaseway subsidiary in New Jersey. He landed the Nestle account a year later, a major coup. For two years after that, he was the district manager of the Hertz Corp.'s truck division back in his hometown of Cleveland.
It was with his return to Leaseway in 1975 that Lasch began to form the business principles that would guide him for the rest of his life. Leaseway put him in charge of the Michigan Group, the company's operating subsidiaries in truck leasing.
That's where Lasch first implemented his "team management" philosophy of "leadership and enlightened consensus management." Hard work - teamwork - led to success. That's what his hero, Lombardi, had taught. Lasch was among the early businessmen to see that the concepts preached in professional sports could be applied to business.
Mark Regalbuto of the Advent Media Group, a Charleston public relations firm, says Lasch has been a role model for him. Working with Lasch on the Hunley project and in his other business dealings, Regalbuto says he's watched Lasch practice the business philosophies he preaches in hundreds of meetings. "Warren has taught me a number of life's very important lessons. He says persistence and resilience are the keys to success. And I've watched him with dogged determination work toward his goal. He's been a great mentor to me."
It was when Lasch began coaching as opposed to just managing that everything seemed to click. The Michigan Group's revenue and profits soared under him, so the company moved Lasch to his hometown of Cleveland to restructure more of its operations. The annual growth rate for the company jumped to 23 percent.
As he quickly was making a name for himself in the business world, Lasch first got involved with nonprofit organizations.
Lasch had always had a generous streak. As much as he made, he wanted to give some of it away. To this day, he buys Charleston RiverDogs season tickets and donates them to disadvantaged kids.
His first major work with a charitable organization came in the late 1970s for Second Harvest, a national network of food banks. Part of Lasch's contribution was his management techniques. Before long, the charity was running like a blue-chip company - minimizing spoilage and redistributing excess food to other food banks that were short on supplies.
Lasch was just getting started.
For nearly two decades, Lasch had worked in the transportation business - he knew the work intimately. It was no surprise that eventually he would set out on his own.
In 1983, Lasch helped set up Robin Transport Inc., a company that moved cars around the country for the automobile industry. The company pioneered the use of curtain-sided trailers. It was a quick success.
Lasch had found his true business calling. In 1991, he started Bavarian Motor Transport Inc., a dedicated contract carrier delivering BMWs to dealerships throughout the United States. Never has a BMW carrier had a better record of damage-free deliveries, the company says.
After Bavarian, Lasch set up Tri-Star Transport to haul another brand of luxury cars, Mercedes-Benz. Together, Tri-Star and Bavarian move a lot of cars. Lasch's companies have contracts with Porsche and Saab and have moved presidential limousines and even the "Popemobile."
Lasch first came to Charleston almost by accident. The family was vacationing in Myrtle Beach in 1982 when he and Donna made a side trip to the Holy City. They fell in love with the town and decided that one day they might like to live here. They never forgot that, and in 1995 they settled on Kiawah Island.
The move to Kiawah was not a retirement, but Lasch wanted to slow down a bit. For him, that meant running only four companies - the two transport lines, a business that provides medical site reviews, and Charleston International Ports. Soon, however, Lasch would find his world busier than ever.
One of Lasch's early acquaintances in Charleston was retired Rear Adm. William Schachte. An appointee to the newly formed Hunley Commission, Schachte was impressed with the businessman and mentioned him to Sen. Glenn McConnell, chairman of that group.
The Hunley Commission in 1997 was wrestling with a way to come up with the $16 million needed to raise, excavate and restore the lost submarine. The commission decided to set up a nonprofit organization that could raise money - something a governmental agency couldn't readily do.
Schachte thought Lasch was the man to run the Friends of the Hunley. "I was impressed by his enthusiasm for getting things done, his honesty," Schachte recalls. "He had integrity and a heavy sense of civic pride. I wrote a short note to the senator that said, basically, 'He is the person.'"
Lasch remembers when the admiral first spoke to him on the subject. He had asked, simply, innocently, "What's the Hunley?"
He was about to find out.
In some circles, the story has become almost legendary. McConnell didn't take long to decide that Lasch was exactly who the Friends of the Hunley needed at the helm. A persuasive speaker, McConnell went to work on the businessman.
Initially, Lasch was somewhat wary. He had four businesses to run, Lasch told the senator. He didn't know if he had time to do the project justice. "I couldn't give more than 10 hours every other week," he said.
McConnell, a gleam in his eye, didn't hesitate. "Warren," he said, "that'll be more than enough."
Those would turn out to be the ultimate famous last words.
Lasch soon poured everything he had into fund-raising efforts for the Friends of the Hunley.
He was charged with raising $16 million. It was a daunting task, but Lasch's style meshed well with the project. He was a natural salesman. When the Confederate flag became a controversy, Lasch and his public relations team kept the sub out of the line of fire.
Originally, raising money was all he was supposed to do. But before long, McConnell was using Lasch's considerable business mind to run most of the Hunley operations. At first, Lasch suffered through sleepless nights as he tried to get his arms around the Hunley "elephant." He was, he feared, in over his head. But he wouldn't quit. And soon it became clear he was making a difference.
Ultimately, most of the major decisions of the Hunley project were made at Lasch's office, just a few steps from Adger's Wharf, where the Hunley departed on Oct. 15, 1863, the day Horace L. Hunley, for whom it was named, died in it at the bottom of Charleston Harbor in the submarine's second sinking.
"He never took his eyes off the prize," McConnell says. "He stuck with us through the highs and lows. Once he gets into something, he gets into it. He is bright, to the point, and had the business skills we needed with the Friends of the Hunley."
The group benefited greatly from his association with it. The Friends of the Hunley has never paid for postage or pencils - Lasch uses his office to conduct its business. If that weren't enough, one of his transport companies subsidized the ongoing traveling Hunley exhibit.
On top of all that, Lasch gave the project more than $1.5 million out of his own pocket.
The Hunley project meshed under another football analogy. McConnell was the team owner, Lasch, of course, the coach. Soon he was building Team Hunley.
It was Lasch who recruited Bob Neyland from the Naval Historical Center to lead the project, and he helped recruit Oceaneering International to lift the sub. Oceaneering had its share of high-profile recoveries - the Challenger, TWA Flight 800 and Gus Grissom's Liberty Bell. It was the best in the business, which is all Lasch would accept.
Not satisfied that he knew enough about it, Lasch invited the world's leading archaeologists to critique the Hunley plan. The verdict was unanimous - it was a fabulous plan.
The effort to raise the Hunley had been a venture into the unknown - no project of its kind ever had been attempted. The people around Lasch described his handling of the situation as "masterful." He worked backward from the goal, juggling fund-raising and operations. When scientists and engineers would not commit to timetables, it was Lasch who weighed the conditions and pushed the "Go" button.
He made it happen.
So when Lasch got up to speak at the volunteer appreciation reception a few weeks ago, he finally had time to look back at everything his team had done - and realized it was amazing.
For four years, Lasch has spent nearly 50 hours a week on the Hunley project. During that time he has had to come up with solutions to problems no one has ever had to contend with before, all the while juggling his various companies and fending off criticism from a local business rival.
A lawsuit was filed against Charleston International Ports, of which Lasch is a managing member, alleging the company could not legally team up with the State Ports Authority to run a terminal at the former Navy base. A judge for the Federal Maritime Commission tossed out the claim. An appeal to that ruling is on hold, and CIP has filed suit to stop what it calls continuing legal harassment. Some of his foes have circulated information about a Michigan charge years ago after a business which he ran was late filing a tax document. A Lasch spokesman said he paid a $300 fine on a misdemeanor charge.
Through it all, Lasch has kept his focus on the Hunley, as is his nature. He has grown comfortable in his role as the "captain of the fourth Hunley crew," as his team calls him. He might prefer the term "coach."
And now, his only sleepless nights come for very different reasons. When he got the call a few weeks ago saying Dixon's coin had been found at 10 p.m. on a Wednesday, he couldn't go back to sleep.
He was too excited. "Who would have believed it? If someone had told you five years ago that by now we would have recovered the Hunley, we would have the crew, we could have Dixon, the blue lamp and the gold coin, you would have told them they were crazy."
But his friends, the people who know him best, say it's not that surprising given the team's coach.

Visa Signature Perks
|Email Print
I read a lot of forums and deal sites, like Fatwallet Finance, and I've been noticing a lot more deals out there for Visa Signature cardholders. Visa Signature is a class of Visa cards, it's not an actual card itself. For example, the Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards® Plus Credit Card is a Visa Signature card and comes with all the perks of the Visa Signature program and the Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards program.
Most of the cards are a loyalty card of some kind, whether it offers airline miles or cashback or reward points, and many of them have an annual fee (because they are a loyalty reward card).
There are frequently promotions offered only to Visa Signature cardholders. For example, the latest one that caught my eye was a 2-for-1 on movie tickets purchased through Fandango. Even after the Fandango convenience fee, the 2-for-1 promotion cuts a few dollars off a good movie. Another current promotion is Hilton Honors Gold Status and/or 5,000 free points, which is great for those of you in the HHonors program. While this is what caught my eye, it's probably the last reason Visa Signature cards are appealing.
Complimentary 24/7 Concierge
Here's what they say about the concierge service:
Your complimentary Visa Signature Concierge can handle life's details, so you don't have to. Whether you need restaurant recommendations or reservations, vacation-planning assistance, or even help with everyday needs such as finding an online grocer, we're at your service 24 hours a day.
While it's probably not as pimp as the American Express Black Centurion Card, concierge service is still concierge service. Useful when you're in a jam.
Warranty and Insurances
Like many other card issuers, Visa Signature cards come with insurances like auto rental collision damage waivers, lost luggage reimbursement, travel accident insurance, warranty extensions and purchasing security. If you're ever unable to return something or something gets damaged soon after you get it, these types of insurances can protect you.
You can see a full list of the benefits to Visa Signature cards but these three big areas (at least for me if I were to consider these cards).
Visa Signature Cards
Here are some Visa Signature cards:
Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards Plus Credit Card

Chateau Ste. Michelle Indian Wells Red Blend 2010
Other Red Blends from Columbia Valley, Washington
Winemaker's Notes
The wine reflects the rich, round, powerful style of Washington fruit, highlighting seven varietals. It is a true example of the art of blending. The wine offers jammy boysenberry flavors from the Syrah with a luscious backbone from the Merlot. The other varieties add the "spices" that all winemakers love to work with. This would be a great match with barbecue ribs.
Blend: 60% Merlot, 28% Syrah, 6% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Grenache, 2% Malbec, 0.5% Cinsault, 0.5% Mourvedre
Critical Acclaim
Wine Spectator - "Supple and ripe, displaying coffee and exotic spice overtones to the dark berry flavors. Finishes softly and with gentle intensity. Merlot, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and others. Drink now through 2016. 45,000 cases made. "
Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery
Founded in 1934, Chateau Ste. Michelle is the oldest winery in Washington with some of the most mature vineyards in the Columbia Valley. The winery combines Old World winemaking with New World innovation and is best known for its award-winning Riesling, Chardonnay, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.
Chateau Ste. Michelle receives some of the highest accolades in the industry, including "American Winery of the Year" by Wine Enthusiast for 2004 and "2005 Winery of the Year" by Restaurant Wine. In addition, the winery's Eroica Riesling, crafted from a partnership with German winemaker Ernst Loosen, has been named to Wine Spectator's prestigious "Top 100" wines list for five consecutive years.
Chateau Ste. Michelle is one of the few premium wineries in the world with two state-of-the-art wineries, one devoted to whites and another to reds. This dedicated approach to winemaking allows winemaker Bob Bertheau to build winemaking programs to the unique specifications of red and white wines. While all of Chateau Ste. Michelle's vineyards are located on the east side of the Cascade Mountains where the climate is dry and sunny, Bob Bertheau makes the award winning white wines in Woodinville, 15 miles northeast of Seattle. The winery's expansive, 87-acre estate hosts more than 250,000 visitors annually for tours, tastings, dinners and outdoor summer concerts. View all Chateau Ste. Michelle Wines
About Columbia ValleyView a map of Columbia Valley wineries
Columbia Valley is the largest of Washington State's wine growing regions, with almost 11 million acres. It encompasses a number of smaller regions, including Yakima Valley, Walla Walla Valley, Red Mountain and more. The vast area consists of a range of climates, allowing viticulturists to plant a diverse selection of grape varieties. Most wineries plant rows sparsely, which helps the vines survive the harsh winters.
Notable FactsMerlot is the most popular and most planted grape of the area, followed by Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay. Syrah and Riesling are also popular and continue to grow in acreage.
About WashingtonRelated Links:Now the number two producer in the United States, Washington State has also grown in quality.
So how does a state known for rain and coffee produce high quality wines? They plant their grapes on the east side of the Cascade mountains, away from that ever-present rain cloud that sits along the coast. Perhaps wine grapes do well since the sandy loam soils east of the Cascade range give way to an almost desert-like land, saved from drought only by the helpful rivers that run through the area – and the good irrigation systems.
Thinking that the state would do best with typical northern growing grapes like Riesling and Gewurtztraminer, turns out the apple state is well-suited for reds, namely Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and, more recently, Syrah. Of course, whites have not been forgotten - Washington State Rieslings range from bone-dry to sweet, are well-structured and high quality, and Chardonnay dominates most of the other white plantings, making a range of wines. But the reds of the region, Merlot in particular, have made Washington State a quality force to be reckoned with.

The term "pleuresie parapneumonique" was first proposed by Lemoine1 in 1893, to describe the occurrence of fluid in the pleural cavity coincident with pneumonia. He pointed out the fact that the occurrence of fluid in the chest during the early part of an attack of pneumonia is more frequent than is generally supposed, occurring in possibly five to six per cent. (Grisale, 12.6 per cent.; Deustl, 16 per cent.; Fismer, 15 per cent.; Magnus Hus, and Jugenser, 4 or 5 per cent.). He further states that the fluid of parapneumonic pleurisy is always serous, while that of metapneumonic pleurisy, that following the crisis, is always purulent.
Le Damnay2 in a thesis on pleurisies, in 1897, also calls attention to the occurrence of fluid in the thoracic cavity coincident with pneumonia, and gives histories of four such cases. Since these researches a large number of cases of parapneumonic pleurisy

A WARRANT from the KING to the LORD DEPUTY CHICHESTER for the taking of surrenders of lands in in the province of Connaght and the county of Clare, and also to pardon Intrusions, &c.
|A WARRANT from the KING to the LORD DEPUTY CHICHESTER for the taking of surrenders of lands in in the province of Connaght and the county of Clare, and also to pardon Intrusions, &c.
As we are informed that, by several indentures of composition, made between our late sister and the inhabitants of our county of Clare, otherwise Thomond, that there was granted unto her and her successors a certain yearly sum of money out of every quarter of land (freedoms only excepted) in regard whereof it was intended that the several inhabitants should have letters patent to confirm their estates to them and their heirs, with reservation of tenures by knight service as of our several manors in that province and county: And as the inhabitants have and do duly observe their conditions in making payments yearly of the several sums reserved, but by reason of the wars, &c. in that kingdom, they have not had the means hitherto (as they alledge) to pass their said lands as was intended unto them, but have now been suitors to us to grant that grace: We hold ourselves bound in honour to perform what our sister did intend; and in respect of the great yearly revenue which we receive out of that province and county, by virtue of that composition, we have been pleased for the settling of their several estates to condescend to their request.
These are therefore to require and authorize you to issue forth one or more commissions into that province and county, to inquire what quantities of lands every of our said subjects is seized or possessed of within the same and upon the return of the said commissions to accept a surrender or surrenders to us, &c. of so much as the several persons shall offer to surrender, and thereupon to cause letters patent under the great seal of that our realm to be passed, of the lands so mentioned to be surrendered, unto every our subjects respectively, &c. who shall be found to be so seized by the said inquisitions, or to such other persons, &c. as they shall appoint; saving and reserving to us, &c. our said composition, and such other rents and duties as are now answered unto us for the said lands; the same to be holden of us by knight's service as of our castle of Athlone in that province; in which grants our express will is, that there shall be no mention made of any surrenders; as we are given to understand by them that they have heretofore been often troubled in our Court of Exchequer there for their several intrusions, fines for alienations without license, mesne profits, reliefs, sums of money for respite of homage, concealed wardships, and the like.
We, in commiseration of their former troubles, are further pleased that in their several letters patent there shall be contained several pardons and grants of the same, or that you shall give them such other effectual discharges as shall free them and heirs from further trouble in any of our courts; provided that their before the said grants or pardons are past, you take care that they, and every of them that are to derive any benefit thereby, do first make some moderate and reasonable composition for the same, with such patentees, or their assigns, to whom for the good of our service any grant hath been made of the same, by you or other commissioners there, under our great seal of that kingdom, in which compositions we will that a fourth part of the benefit should be reserved for us. Given under our signet at Westminster, 21st July, 13th year of our reign.
Our farther pleasure is for the ease of the people of that province and county that in all patents to be made from us you permit as many of the freeholders to pass their lands together in one grant, as you in your discretion shall think fit.
Addressed to the Lord Chichester and Deputy of our realm of Ireland.

Many professional football players aren't reduced to tears when something terrible happens during a game, but I'm sure they often feel like bawling after committing crucial mistakes or when they are subject to unfortunate situations.
Like any sport, there are occurrences in the NFL that spark embarrassment and bring forth feelings of sadness or shame.
These moments often cause fans to pull their hair out, chuck the remote into the TV or even initiate self-mutilation. However, the experience is one million times worse for the player or team that is actually in the midst of the action.
I've come up with 22 of the most terrible feelings in the NFL in no specific order. Feel free to comment on how they should be ranked or if I've missed any, for there are many.

In this session, Carl Callewaert demos how to build a game using Unity Editor.
Oops, something didn't work.
Thanks Carl. This is one of the most useful Unity 3D training tutorials I have ever seen! I really liked how he set up his interface and used shortcuts to quickly get things done.
Thanks. Really interesting. One request, at the end if people ask questions off mic please let us know what the question is.
I'd be more interested in code-only Unity tutorials - there are none...
I've heard people saying that it is possible with Unity but I have yet to see it.
So far, I have an impression that Unity is a designer/non-programmer oriented tool - this is the main deal breaker for me - 90% of the workflow happens in the clumsy UI.

Alfa Romeo confirmed that it was preparing a high-powered version Mito back in June. Now, word on the street is the Alfa Romeo Mito GTA will be unveiled at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show.
The hot hatch is expected to compete with the MINI Cooper JCW. The GTA aims to outperform the Mini with its turbocharged 1.75-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that will produce 240 horsepower. The agile Alfa will also benefit from weight reduction achieved through the use of carbon fiber and aluminum.
Sources say the GTA will be sharper looking than the current car. It will presumably sit lower, wear a more aggressive body kit, have larger wheels and offer new color schemes.
Now that Chrysler has partnered with Fiat, Alfa's parent company, perhaps we are one step closer to seeing the brand's return to the U.S. with a mass production model. If so, we'd say a hot hatch like the Mito GTA is a good place to start.

Sputum induction for microbiological diagnosis of childhood pulmonary tuberculosis in a community setting
Sputum induction has increasingly enabled microbiological confirmation of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) in hospitalised children, but it has not been evaluated in a community setting. This paper aims to investigate the yield, feasibility and safety of sputum induction for the diagnosis of TB in children in a primary health care facility.
Conducting their research in South Africa, the authors present these findings:
- sputum induction is highly successful procedure, and the yield from sputum induction is similar to that reported for adults, improves diagnostic yield and impacts on treatment
- operational and logistic issues may hamper the implementation of sputum induction in primary care facilities for children
- the main obstacles can be time constraints, lack of skill, space constraints and concerns about transmission
- the procedure has been rated easy or very easy to perform in more than 90% of cases after a short training period.
Conclusions are that:
- sputum induction is feasible and safe in a community setting
- sputum induction is useful for making a microbiological diagnosis, increasing the number of children diagnosed and treated for PTB
- more widespread implementation of sputum induction for the diagnosis of PTB in children should be undertaken in primary care settings
- it should be noted that timely transfer of specimens to a laboratory or on-site testing is needed
- future development of rapid molecular-based testing that can be performed onsite is promising and may boost diagnosing PTB in low care setting.

We are not quite reassured by Gov. Neil Abercrombie's assurances in an article yesterday about the high turnover rate in his staff and Cabinet.
He asserted that 12 resignations in his first 15 months " . . . is to be expected, particularly with some of the people that have sacrificed themselves."
Perhaps the governor is correct that many of his people have familial obligations that limit the time they can put in the hours a job in the administration requires.
We are particularly sad, however, to hear of the departure soon of Alapaki Nahale-a as chairman of the Hawaiian Homes Commission and director of the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands. Nahale-a was the first chairman to have been raised on Hawaiian homelands.
We had the opportunity recently to meet and interview him as he talked about DHHL participation in the development of a Pu'unene Master Plan, including spearheading a new Maui Community Correctional Center.
Without getting into the specifics of whether or not we agreed with every aspect of the plans, we'd simply say that Nahale-a is one of the most impressive people we've met in public life. His enthusiasm and dedication is contagious - he certainly had us believing he could bring those projects to fruition. He is bright, forthright and friendly.
In any event, we understand the strains that commuting from the Big Island must put on Nahale-a's family. But we'd urge the governor and the heads of both political parties in the state to keep this young man in mind.
He is a leader and we think he has a bright political future ahead of him in Hawaii.

Company selects
employee of year
Ken Klose was recently recognized as the 2013 Employee of the Year at Construction Specialties, Inc. in Muncy.
Klose's contagious positive attitude, enthusiasm, patience, and determination, as well as his wealth of knowledge are just a few of the reasons he has earned the prestigious Employee of the Year award for 2013, a news release said. In addition, he is an outstanding leader and innovator and in many ways, according to the news release, Klose is the backbone of Construction Specialties.
In addition to Employee of the Year, he also was recognized, along with his team, as the July Employee of the Month for outstanding effort, teamwork, and achievement and he received an "On the Spot" award for exceptional customer service.
Blind employees
of year selected
North Central Sight Services, Inc. awarded Associates Steve Britton and Darby Obetz as its Blind Employees of the Year for 2013. Both will be nominated for the Milton J. Samuelson and Peter J. Salmon Distinctions awarded by National Industries for the Blind.
Steve Britton, the Milton J. Samuelson Nominee, is "always willing to go above and beyond his normal work duties" as the agency's Receptionist according to a colleague at North Central Sight Services. Britton is the first associate that customers walking into the facility interact with and he greets them with a smile and a pleasant attitude. Britton has been employed by North Central Sight Services for three years as the Receptionist. He also assists with the agency's Remedial Eye Care Program which is designed to help families with obtaining eye glasses.
Britton also participates in United Way events as a speaker.
Darby Obetz is originally from Manheim, PA and is currently employed in the agency's Production Department. She began her employment with North Central Sight Services in the fall of 2012. In her short period of time at North Central Sight Services, Obetz has "shown dedication to her job" and is "highly motivated." Obetz is the agency's Peter J. Salmon Nominee.
Darby has worked on the USB Flash Drive and Portable Hard Drive lines as well as on the Library of Congress re-grinding/recycling project of obsolete audio books for the blind.
Office names
employee of year
Ken Bair, maintenance services engineer, has been named the state Department of Transportation's area district office Employee of the Year for 2013.
Bair, a new release said, was instrumental in analyzing the benefits of and developing an implementation plan for two district-wide seal coat (oil & chip) crews versus the previous process of each county completing its own annual seal coat program. According to the news release, he led and coordinated the efforts of all the district's county maintenance managers to study the potential benefits of district-wide seal coat crews. Through the analysis, which included communication with other districts that have implemented such district-wide crews, they found that two such crews would improve the productivity and quality of the district's seal coat operations, free existing county staff to complete additional general maintenance activities and reduce equipment costs.
The program in 2013 was a success and will be utilized again in 2014, the news release said.
Bair, a 12-year PennDOT employee, lives near Mifflinburg with his wife Megan and their children Ainsley, Jake and Reid.
The district office Employee of the Year is chosen from among the 12 employees of the month during the previous year. More than 270 employees work out of the district office in Montoursville.
Company names
employee of month
Kathleen Mitcheltree was recently recognized as the November Employee of the Month at Construction Specialties, Inc. in Muncy.
Mitcheltree was responsible for all of the material planning and purchasing for the her department for nearly a year. According to a news release, she maintained an astonishing work load without skipping a beat and her commitment and customer-focused attitude, as well as her drive for results, are characteristics that make C/S an awesome company with which to do business.
Real estate agency

Martha Barrick, president of Coldwell Banker Penn One Real Estate, recently announced monthly agent awards for their office in Lewisburg for the month of December. The top selling agent award went to Doug Wertz and Nicolette Wayand. The top listing agent award went to Jodie Bryant. Top Commission earnings for the month of December award went to Ann Hilliard.

At 100$ ? Expensive for a school aged kid...
No, really, given the price, who could want that ? For just a little more you can have a super android, or for the same price, a mid-end android to doing many more things.

That's Verizon's strategy...push you away from a "basic" phone and into a "Smart" phone.
16. Joshing4fun (Posts: 1236; Member since: 13 Aug 2010)
Idk what ya'll and Phonearena are talking about. $100 is not that much whether its for an adult or a kid. People buy their kids $200 dollar ipods and xbox's all the time like its nothing. And remember there's no $30 a month bill. Not everyone wants the latest and greatest.

I am considering this phone as a replacement for my 2-year old LG Chocolate Touch which is having issues with the internal speaker. I don't need access to the web or email, GPS, etc., All I need is a basic phone, and my preference is for a bar phone like this rather than a bulky flip. I agree with CorporateJP. There are few basic phone choices, and eventually they'll be phased out entirely, which will require subscrition to a data plan, whether they need one or not, just to get dial tone. The retail on this phone is a ridiculous $269. Even after all the rebates and discounts, it's still $99 w/ a 2-year plan for a no frills phone that should be free. Commiting to stay with Verizon for 2 years should be reason enough to qualify for a free phone.

Snagged it for $0.01 with Amazon Wireless's limited time offer. It's on backorder though.

Does this surprise anybody? I seriously considered switching back to Verizon (from T-Mobile) until I took a look at their selection of phones. For being the largest cell phone company in the US, they have the worst selection of phones - regular or smartphone - of any of the companies.
When I looked they had 2 or 3 Android phones, and I think 1 Windows phone....and they were super expensive. Pretty crazy considering everything they were offering was at least 1 year old at the time. This was before they got the iPhone, so maybe things have changed.
To compare, T-Mobile was giving away all of their smartphones....including all the new releases.
4. iami (unregistered)
This is for StevenWin785 When you say tmobile was giving all there smart phones away u should stop and ask yourself why/ Most likley because they have no choice or else no one would want there service. As far as verizon. Last time i checked they have a larger choice then most companies. right now there are over ten different model androids 4 blackberrys about 10 feature phones so my question is what store did u go to where you only saw 4 androids. Becarefull where you by your phone a lot of places claim to be corporate and are not so only carry a limited selection of phones and its usually the junk models because they would make more money selling those phones. And remember what they say about free products. You get what you pay for.
6. corporateJP (Posts: 2431; Member since: 28 Nov 2009)
"You get what you pay for" sums it up.
I am a happy T-Mobile and Verizon customer, but even I can tell the difference of which one works better and faster.

What ticks me off about these touch screen feature phones. Is they are ALL 1X phones. The LG Voyager and Dare of 2007-2008 HAD 1X AND EV-DO! VZW wants to force people to a smart phone by stripping it down to nothing. But $99 isn't nothing.
7. corporateJP (Posts: 2431; Member since: 28 Nov 2009)
If my job didn't require me to use a smartphone, I'd still be using an LG Versa, which is 10x the phone that this Pantech is.
53. hjacobson (unregistered)
Pantech Hotshot does do EV-DO, only now it's called "3G".
9. zach (unregistered)
might be decent for those of us that refuse to pay absurd data plan costs every month. Let's hope the phone has good battery and build quality too... my env touch is nearly dead.
10. vzwagent (Posts: 5; Member since: 10 Jul 2010)
its a basic feature phone. it wont be hard to sell because all the kids want smartphones but parents wont pay the $30 a month data plan so they will be willing to spend the extra on the phone upfront to avoid the monthly data fees. basically anyone using a Versa, Dare, Voyager, Env 2,Env 3, Env touch or any phone similar to these would easily move to this phone
11. zach (unregistered)
Exactly... since I've been sitting on a $30 upgrade bonus too, it would make the price that much cheaper. Who know's they may even do the free phone (with 2 yr activation) deal currently running with the Pantech Jest 2.
25. Prinny36 (unregistered)
I totally agree with you - I am parent who wants my child to have cell phone and she wants the "latest and greatest" without the extra expense of the data package. She doesn't need the data on her phone when she has an ipod and laptop already. So, the HotShot actually is what I am looking for.
28. Angelwings (unregistered)
I agree, I cannot afford the data plans so basic is what I can get until Verizon decides to lower their outrageous data charges (if they ever do) but I did find this Hotshot through walmart.com for free with either a new 2yr or an upgrade 2yr!! I like free better than $100!!
12. Pandakilla (unregistered)
Well you remember the LG Octane was $150 so for this phone that is not a bad price...also keep in mind the 3.2 MP camera, most of the basic phones only have 1.3 or VGA which is a lot better. Can not wait to sell this one when it comes out..
21. Zorin (Posts: 152; Member since: 26 Jul 2010)
Octane is the best feature phone vzw has right now. Sure it's not a touch screen, but the specs are dead on with battery life and performance.
13. Billierubin (unregistered)
Actually, people who want a touchscreen phone without paying an extra 30 to 80 dollars a month would want this phone. Not everyone wants a smartphone.
14. rathdrum77 (Posts: 25; Member since: 09 Sep 2009)
It say Pantech on it, that's all I need to know. Run. Away. Fast.
15. CAVZconsumer (unregistered)
this phone is going the right direction for a lot of us. a modern presentation without being a smartphone. Not everyone needs data 24/7. I already have it 22/7 m-f and 24/7 on the weekends. no smartphone needed. thanks Verizon!
22. Zorin (Posts: 152; Member since: 26 Jul 2010)
or don't wanna be traveling with a charger and chord b/c by 2pm, my juice is too low and I might wanna, dare say it...make a phone call.
23. CPA (unregistered)
This phone is meant for a different market than those of you who MUST HAVE a smartphone. So don't waste your time criticizing it. I happen to be in the market that needs this type of phone. My 16 year currently has a smartphone. My husband and I will not let her drive as long as she has that thing. Before she can get her license, she has to replace it with a basic phone. We want her eyes on the road, not on the smartphone. We have been struggling to find a basic phone with a touch screen that is aesthically pleasing to her. Finally, today I found out this phone is going to be available. Just in time...my daughter has her driver's test in one week. She's not happy that the Blackberry has to go, but she's relieved that at least this model is available.
17. Diamondlos22 (Posts: 1; Member since: 03 Oct 2011)
I work for a premium retailer of Verizon and its pure sadness to look at the selection of feature/basic phones we currently carry, Verizon is pushing people for smartphones like no other, DATA DATA DATA..ugh smdh
20. Zorin (Posts: 152; Member since: 26 Jul 2010)
They keep pushing, I'm just gonna tell them to go Eff themselves. I been with VZW since 03 and the phone service has been perfect. I can't afford 30 a month for data. But if my upgrade comes next year, and there's nothing. I'm out.
18. just waiting.... (unregistered)
approx. 6 mos ago, due to financial issues, my family had to get rid of our smartphones and go back to basic phones. We sold them and then went back to our old LG VX8300 and LG enV 2 that we had sitting in a desk drawer. It saved us at least $60/mo on our bill that we just couldn't afford.
I miss my smartphone a lot, but will not be able to afford a data plan, at the rates they are now, for at least another 2 - 3 years. I am eligible for an upgrade right now, but choose to stick with my 5 yr old phone because it's better than anything else, as far as basic phones go, at Verizon right now. This might make me change my mind if they lower the price. I am not willing to pay $100 for this, but I would pay $50.
33. thinkitsgood (unregistered)
Go find it on Amazon. Its 1 cent. Only catch is if you cancel within 181 days, you owe them $250. Its back ordered till Halloween though.
19. Zorin (Posts: 152; Member since: 26 Jul 2010)
Not like the phone is a nokia candy bar phone with a black and white screen and free games like 'snake'
NOT EVERYONE -- wants a smart phone.
Was at a sporting event, place is clearing out, here's this fool in the line of traffic, on his smart phone. Head down, into updating his FB status with the winning team, but clueless at the world around him. Next time, that guy meets my shoulder and sees the floor.
24. jonnybonz (unregistered)
Have you ever looked at Costco to buy a phone? They have the Pantech Hotshot for 39.99 for an upgrade and 29.99 for a new line. Much better than Verizon and you get your upgrade fee waived as well as a free car cherger, carrying case, and 2 screen covers. I definately recommend them.
26. Matt (unregistered)
Available at what Costco? Thought the phone is being released tomorrow (online only) October 6th.
29. Angelwings (unregistered)
Walmart.com is listing the phone as free with either a new or upgrade 2yr agreement, couldn't find it at Costco though haven't checked the store yet.
27. DilbertE (unregistered)
It is the nicest phone Verizon has which doesn't require a data plan. At this time most cell phone users do not want a data plan and do not have data required phones. Google it. Verizon has 99% of their phones at the store require data plans, yet 60 - 70 % of users do not want it. Verizon is out of step, Straight Talk is best bet.
30. shmartty (unregistered)
Should transmition of characters be cheaper than voice if it is all digital data already? I will not be getting any data plans until it will be just air time plans. Good by Verizon!
31. hhrats (unregistered)
For people who cannot afford the $30+ extra for a data plan, will appreciate this phone, rather than a 2001 looking flip phone!! think about it. not every body wants a data plan, and this one beats all of the other "basic" phones!
32. thinkitsgood (unregistered)
I found this on Amazon for 1 cent. A whole lot better than 100. I My husband and I don't even want data for us, much less kids. So for me, who is still using the Samsung Intensity, this is nice. For a while there were no options when you wanted to upgrade, because all the options were pretty much worse than what i was already using. At least this feels more modern. Verizon needs to keep having options available like this. We don't all want to be pushed to a smartphone.
34. Financial Advisor (unregistered)
Actually, I'd have to say this looks like a great phone (bought one today). Verizon says 95% of their users use less than 2GB of data - I bet more than half use less than 75KB available for just $10/mo (GPS included).
Considering you are looking at spending at least $20 more PER MONTH for the a "Smart" phone including the phone of my choice - the iPhone 4 - this phone makes great sense. Good camera, good browser, good style, and in 12 months I'll have saved $240 by not NEEDING a smart phone.
35. SethAnders (unregistered)
Honestly, this picture is incorrect. If you go on the Verizon website, it shows in the picture and in the description that it is both 3G and 1X capable (http://www.verizonwireless.com
/b2c/store/controller?&item=ph). Plus, it does video which only like, 3 of the other feature phones do. Also, it has a built-in 2 gig memory already installed. No other Verizon feature phone, nor many of the smart phones, have that. You also don;t have to pay $30 extra a month to run it, when you still get the same internet capabilities. In my opinion, this phone is worth the price. Especially since most smart phones are about $200 anyway. I plan to get this phone here in a couple weeks when my upgrade comes up. oneFirst&action=viewPhoneDetai l&selectedPhoneId=5715
36. qt314 (Posts: 1; Member since: 08 Oct 2011)
I just ordered this with my $30 upgrade discount. It was exactly what I was looking for, so lets hope it lives up to the hype. I'm not about to nearly double my monthly phone bill for their absurd data plans, so there's not many choices in the non-smart phone category.
37. stucogal27 (unregistered)
right now i have the cosmos touch. it is a horrible phone. i did have the chocolate touch and loved it. i wanted this phone and i know its not a smartphone. i dont want to pay 30 dollars extra just for apps and my email on a phone. thats what an ipod touch or computer is for. the hotshot would be perfect for a teen or anyone who doesnt have the extra money for a smartphone.
38. Kyros (unregistered)
I think this phone is great!
I currently have a LG Chocolate touch and this phone is pretty much the same phone but better!
It has the same camera, but it is thinner and the screen is 0.2in larger and it is capacitive (glass like ipod touch not plastic(resistive) capacitive is better)
This phone has more customization features.
The only bad thing is it has a little worse battery life :( but the battery in my choc touch is going downhill anyway so that is a good thing :)
And the main thing is when I got my choc touch, I had to subscribe to verizons $10 a month for 25mb that I rarely use, and now I dont have to pay that!!!
This phone is for people that want a cool phone and dont wanna pay $30+ a month for a smartphone.
I have been waiting for a good basic phone from Verizon and this is it!!
39. zach (unregistered)

41. AlexC (unregistered)
Ordered this for my dad off Amazon. Was $0.01 w/ 2yr renewal. Figured at that price, this was perfect since he isn't tech savy and dosen't really use ANY of the features of a smart phone.
42. Pat (unregistered)
You can get this phone through wireless.amazon.com for a penny if you already have a Verizon account. Some of us could care less if the phone is a "smartphine" or not. We just want a phone that we don't have to pay "through the nose" because of data plans that we don't need or want. Sometimes it's good for a cell phone to be just that - a PHONE.
43. karabunny (unregistered)
My parents aren't willing to pay for a data plan every month so basically its between this phone or an old flip phone for me. Plus you can get it at Costco for about $40. All things considered it seems like a pretty decent deal at the moment
44. Killer_Point44 (unregistered)
I have this phone, I really like it. This phone works great and is really thin and the battery lasts awile depending on the use. I only got it for $28 at Samsclub and it works great for me.
46. Emlyn (unregistered)
Got it at Costco for $30 for my 12-year old. She loves it. Makes her feel like she has a smartphone without the expense for me. So far, so good. But she's only had it for 2 days.
47. slindsey100 (unregistered)
The problem is with the data plans. My 12 year old wants a cool phone that he can text with but I'm not willing to pay the $30/month for another data plan. I often wish I didn't have to pay for it on mine. This phone does seem to be a good middle ground for that purpose.
48. bob (unregistered)
Shop at sams club! Way way cheaper then direct verizon stores!
49. Kyros (unregistered)
Can you people who own this phone put a review on youtube??
I am very interested in this phone and I do want to know most features before I buy.
I can get it on walmart wireless and target wireless for a penny so I have a purchase plan set, just want to know the features in advance.
51. rmylunn (unregistered)
I have Verizon and I do not believe they have a great selection of basic phones. I am 39 years old and i just do not want a droid, iphone, etc I am happy with my basic enV touch that I just mostly for texting. I have 3 kids which 2 of them have phones, and honeslty I just cannot affort the data plans, I would rather use my home computer for my on line experience. I wish they would at least have more basic phones. I have always had good luck with LG phones and wanted to stick with that but there is just no LG's that I like other than the EnV touch which they have discontinued.
54. hjacobson (unregistered)
Verizon rep called my 2009 basic unlimited data plan "ancient". I'm loath to drop it but my Samsung Rogue (OMLED screen) is about to bite the dust. The Hotshot appears to be the way to go.
55. zach (unregistered)
For those of you looking for the smallest trace about this phone I found a short "first look" from cnet:
Hopefully There will be reviews coming out soon!
57. Buster (unregistered)
We have been brainwashed in America to think that paying hundreds, if not thousands of dollars per year for our cell phone service is reasonable much like we have been brainwashed to think that $3.00 per gallon for gasoline would be a good deal if it were to be found. Yes, as the 'People From Walmart' crowd subsided today at 'Occupy Wallstreet' so that their sheeple could line up to get their 4s's, many of us would like to simply make and receive calls and and on occasion, send and receive texts. This is the perfect phone for me and my family.
58. Kyros (unregistered)
Does the hotshot have a task killer like the crux??
What I mean is there is a built in task killer in the crux and I want to know if it is in the hotshot.
All you have to do for me is go to the home screen on the hotshot and press and hold the center button (button on front with the square) and does it bring up a menu with programs you have been using?????
Please someone help me out.
60. Amanda2008 (unregistered)
I just got this phone for free with the upgrade for Verizon. Worse phone I have ever had. I don't need the web on my phone so my options were limited on what I could buy. When you touch the screen there is a lag time, so when you are typing in a phone number the phone misses numbers or when you text the phone misses letters. The features are not user friendly. They tried to create something new and failed. I would not recommend this phone for anyone. I am returning mine today.

UNESCO Director-General Urges the Youth to Engage in the Combat Against Climate Change
8 August 2008: In a message on the occasion of International
Youth Day, being celebrated on 12 August 2008 under the theme "Young people and
climate change: time for action," the Director General of the UN Educational,
Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), Koïchiro Matsuura, stressed the
role that young people can play in addressing the challenge of climate change
and sustainable development.
He explained that the Day provides an opportunity to raise
awareness of young people to a future threat and encourage them to find
innovative solutions. Matsuura explained that UNESCO not only aims to
contribute to scientific knowledge, but also addresses the social, economic and
cultural dimensions of climate change. He outlined the support given by the
Organization to young researchers, as well as its awareness raising activities.
In this respect, he highlighted the joint YouthXchange initiative of UNESCO and
the UN Environment Programme, which recommends sustainable consumption and
lifestyle patterns. [UNESCO Director General's message]

Critical PHP vulnerability being fixed
The PHP developers are working to fix a critical security vulnerability in PHP that they introduced with a recent security patch. The current stable release is affected; however, it is not yet clear whether the questionable patch was also applied to older versions.
The cause of the problem is the security update to PHP 5.3.9, which was written to prevent denial of service (DoS) attacks using hash collisions. To do so, the developers limited the maximum possible number of input parameters to 1,000 in php_variables.c using max_input_vars. Because of mistakes in the implementation, hackers can intentionally exceed this limit and inject and execute code. The bug is considered to be critical as code can be remotely injected over the web.

Supercomputer chosen for scalable shared memory.
By Kevin Davies
March 16, 2010 | SGI's recent sale of its Altix UV system to a major European cancer research center is evidence that the former supercomputing player is still a force to be reckoned with after emerging from bankruptcy.
In 2009, Rackable (see "Out of the Gate," Bio•IT World, Sept 2009) bought the assets of SGI and changed the name of the company to SGI. "It's really a merger and we're now equally focused on HPC as well as the Internet and other markets that Rackable focused on," said Geoffrey Noer, SGI senior director of product marketing, adding that the integration went extremely smoothly.
The new SGI's chief products include the Octane III, a desk-side device that combines the power of an HPC cluster with the portability of a workstation that can address a variety of technical and graphical computing applications.
Launched at SC09, the Altix UV has an open systems architecture. Noer says the Altix is in any respect "the world's fastest supercomputer," which can scale up to 2,048 cores and 16 Terabytes of global shared memory. The hardware platform is has modular blades for 'plug and solve' flexibility. "The response has been phenomenal," Noer told Bio•IT World. "Many of the customers purchasing Altix UV systems are doing so to complement scale-out clusters." Among the early customers are the University of Tennessee, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, the North German Supercomputing Alliance, and other centers in France and Japan.
London Calling
The most intriguing life sciences customer announced thus far is the Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) in London, which was a longtime customer of SGI as well as Rackable servers.
ICR selected the Altix UV to take advantage of its massively scalable shared memory system to process the explosion of data in fields including MRI imaging, mass spectrometry, and deep-sequencing information, across thousands of CPUs. ICR staff hope the Altix UV will allow large, diverse data sets to be processed quickly and facilitate the correlation of medical and biological data. Rune Linding, ICR team leader in cellular and molecular logic, said: "Eventually, this will lead to network-based cancer models that will be used to streamline the process of drug development."
"Systems biology demands massive integration of extremely large data sets. Large shared memory should enable us to handle such data at a much higher speed and with a greater focus on the biological questions at hand," added Peter Rigby, ICR's chief executive professor. The ICR (affiliated with the University of London) is one of Europe's leading cancer research centers, with a formidable record in pioneering research into cancer genetics, cell biology and epidemiology.
Noer said that SGI is in a strong position moving forward, and that computational bioinformatics remains one of its key HPC markets. "We'll be introducing more products over time and Altix UV is already grabbing a lot of attention. Bioinformatics is a core market for us and one in which we plan to be more visible in the future," he said.
