- I began by following the Tulle Flower Tutorial to make four green and silver tulle flowers. Please note I omitted the floral leaves.
- Next, I used the Cutting Styrofoam Tutorial to cut 4 hearts and a clover stem. I then glued the pieces together with tacky glue, and let dry. I used the tacky glue liberally and waited an entire day for it to dry.
- Once the glue was dry I used a hot glue gun to attach green ribbon around the edges of the clover. The hot glue worked really well to attach the ribbon to the Styrofoam, however, experiment first with a scrap piece of Styrofoam because often the hot glue will melt the Styrofoam. When using the hot glue run a thin bead of glue along the Styrofoam and immediately attach the ribbon.
- Now, place the tulle flowers into the center of the Styrofoam clover. Then using white petals that you disassembled from a faux flower spray (item #DS-104-00) attach them to the Styrofoam using brass head pins threaded with small green seed beads.
- Place the small flowers with bead centers around the entire floral arrangement.
- Next, form a clover from the lime green florist wire. Forming the clover is a delicate process. First, begin by unraveling several feet of the wire and then slowly start to form the clover. To form the indents on each clover petal use something hard like the edge of a screw driver. Complete the clover by wrapping the floral wire with jewelry wire and small green seed beads.
- Finish the arrangement by inserting the wire clover into the center of your arrangement. Place the floral arrangement on your table as a St. Patty's Day Centerpiece.

Microchimica Acta (v.170, #3-4)
The Fourth International Workshop on Biosensors for Food Safety and Environmental Monitoring by Aziz Amine; Chris M. A. Brett; Giuseppe Palleschi (191-192).
Biosensors based on cholinesterase inhibition for insecticides, nerve agents and aflatoxin B1 detection (review) by Fabiana Arduini; Aziz Amine; Danila Moscone; Giuseppe Palleschi (193-214).
The present review reports the research carried out during last 9 years on biosensors based on cholinesterase inhibition for nerve agents, organophosphorus and carbammic insecticides, and aflatoxin B1 detection. Relative applications in environmental and food areas are also reported. Special attention is paid to the optimization of parameters such as enzyme immobilization, substrate concentration, and incubation time in the case of reversible inhibition by aflatoxin B1 or irreversible inhibition by organophosphorus and carbamic insecticides, and nerve agents in order to optimize and improve the analytical performances of the biosensor. Evaluation of selectivity of the system is also discussed.

Biosensors for effective environmental and agrifood protection and commercialization: from research to market by Viviana Scognamiglio; Gianni Pezzotti; Ittalo Pezzotti; Juan Cano; Katia Buonasera; Daniela Giannini; Maria Teresa Giardi (215-225).
Biosensors are projected to find many applications due to their high selectivity and sensitivity, rapid reaction, economy and ease of handling in field measurements. Even though biosensors for a wide range of environmental pollutants have been extensively reported in the literature, the decision to develop a suitable biosensing system that can be approved by a regulatory perspective for environmental applications is fraught with technical issues. These issues mainly concern the biological recognition element, the physico-chemical transducer and the interfaces between the biological and the physical components, but also aspects of fluidics, electronics, and software for data processing. This article reviews methods together with a process to move biosensor technology from research laboratories to market, focusing as a case in point on challenges and possible opportunities in the development of photosynthetic-based biosensors for environmental applications.

Micro and nanoparticles in biosensing systems for food safety and environmental monitoring. An example of converging technologies by María Isabel Pividori; Salvador Alegret (227-242).
We report on the integration of micro and nanostructured materials in biosensing devices to obtain analytical nano-bio-systems with improved performance. The simplest case of electrochemical biosensing presented here is based on graphite microparticles to obtain a graphite-epoxy composite. The integration of the bioreceptor within the composite provides an analytical biosystem with improved performances for biosensing. The further addition of gold nanoparticles results in an analytical nano-bio-system which allows an improved strategy for the immobilization of the bioreceptor. And finally, the integration of magnetic beads to graphite-epoxy composite magneto electrodes provides further advantages in terms of separation of the analyte from complex matrix and enhanced biological reactions, resulting in analytical magneto-nano-bio-systems. The application of these systems mainly in food safety and environmental monitoring are reported. The benefits of the integration of these materials to obtain improved analytical systems are discussed and represent an example of converging technologies.

A disposable biosensor for the determination of alpha-amylase in human saliva by Mika Mahosenaho; Felice Caprio; Laura Micheli; Adama M. Sesay; Giuseppe Palleschi; Vesa Virtanen (243-249).
A disposable tri-enzymatic biosensor is presented for the determination of α-amylase in human saliva. It is based on the quantity of maltose generated by hydrolysis of maltopentose in the presence of salivary α-amylase. The biosensor is fabricated by co-immobilization of the enzymes α-glucosidase, glucose oxidase, and mutarotase on screen-printed electrodes modified with Prussian Blue. The assay can be performed with a "drop" of sample, this allowing for ease and simplicity. A linear relationship is found for the range from 5 to 250 units per mL, with an LOD of 5 units per mL. The biosensor is stable for at least one month and over this time retains 80% of its original activity. The system was then evaluated for matrix effects of human saliva and compared to a spectrometric method using a commercially available kit.

Biosensor for determination of carboxylic acids in wines based on the inhibition of sarcosine oxidase by Jiri Zeravik; Karel Lacina; Milan Jilek; Jiri Vlcek; Petr Skládal (251-256).
The flow-through amperometric biosensor is presented for determination of carboxylic acids. It is based on two sensor layers that are deposited on a platinum electrode. The inner layer serves to eliminate interferences by limiting diffusion of electrochemically active substances such as ascorbic acid. This layer is electro-polymerized using an equimolar mixture of o-phenylenediamine and resorcinol. The outer layer is prepared by cross-linking the enzyme sarcosine oxidase and bovine serum albumin using glutaraldehyde. The formation of enzymatically produced hydrogen peroxide is monitored at 600 mV vs. an Ag/AgCl reference electrode. The addition of carboxylic acids causes competitive inhibition of the enzyme and a decrease in signal. The assay was optimized for determination of carboxylic acids in wine samples. Following 10-fold dilution, most samples contain 1–10 mM individual carboxylic acids and thus a 5 mM concentration of sarcosine was chosen as being optimal for competition. In case of real samples, the biosensor measures the sum of all carboxylic acids, which serves as a parameter describing the quality of wines. Results from testing several wine samples are reported.
Keywords: Biosensor; Sarcosine oxidase; Carboxylic acid; Wine
The influence of carbon nanotubes and polyazine redox mediators on the performance of amperometric enzyme biosensors by Mariana Emilia Ghica; Christopher M. A. Brett (257-265).
Biosensors with novel modified electrode structures for glucose determination have been developed by using different combinations of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and polyazine redox polymer, poly(neutral red) or poly(brilliant cresyl blue) on glassy carbon electrodes (GCE). CNT films were formed using functionalised CNTs, covalently immobilised by crosslinking in a chitosan matrix, and the azine dyes were electropolymerised directly on GCE or on top of the GCE modified with CNTs. Glucose oxidase (GOx) was immobilised by crosslinking with glutaraldehyde on top of the GCE modified with CNT, poly(azines), or combinations of poly(azines) and CNT. An assembly with enzyme/nanotube mixture immobilised on top of polyazine films was also studied. The mechanism of functioning was investigated in the presence and absence of oxygen and also by using bienzymatic devices containing glucose oxidase and catalase. Of the combinations studied, the best performance was obtained with a PBCB/CNT/GOx biosensor at a potential of −0.3 V vs. SCE with a detection limit of 11 μmol L−1.
Keywords: Functionalised carbon nanotubes; Chitosan matrix; Azine dyes; Redox polymer; Glucose oxidase; Catalase
Tyrosinase biosensor based on a boron-doped diamond electrode modified with a polyaniline-poly(vinyl sulfonate) composite film by Zelo Anatole Mangombo; Priscilla Baker; Emmanuel Iwuoha; David Key (267-273).
A BDD electrode modified with polyaniline (PANI) film doped with polyvinyl sulphonate (PVS), containing in-situ deposited tyrosinase (Tyr) enzyme was prepared and characterized. The PANI-PVS film was electrochemically polymerized onto the BDD surface by cyclic voltammetry (CV) at 50 mV.s−1 (versus Ag/AgCl). An increase in current density with increasing number of cycles was an indication of the polymer growth. The morphologies of the composite films were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Electrochemical characterization confirmed the successful doping of the PANI film by PVS and that the template PVS directed the electron transfer at the biosensor interface. SEM provided evidence of the influence of the synthesis medium on the morphology and surface area of the composite film. Synthesis from HCl produced homogenous, finely granular thin film with increased surface area which is thought to be responsible for the increased redox currents measured. PANI/PVS served both as an efficient mediator and biocompatible enzyme immobilisation platform for the substrate L-tyrosine at low concentrations with apparent Michaelis-Menton ( $$ {hbox{K}}_{ m{m}}^{ m{app}} $$ ) 1 × 10−2 µM.

DNA hybridization detection by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy using interdigitated gold nanoelectrodes by Alessandra Bonanni; Irene Fernández-Cuesta; Xavier Borrisé; Francesc Pérez-Murano; Salvador Alegret; Manel del Valle (275-281).
A DNA biosensor is presented that is based on gold interdigitated nanoelectrodes of 100 nm width and 250 nm pitch. A single-strand oligonucleotide acts as the capture probe. Because of its nanometer dimensions, the device shows improved sensitivity when compared to similar systems. This encouraged us to perform a direct and unlabelled detection. After incubation with the DNA target, the impedance spectrum was recorded between 1 kHz and 10 MHz to obtain the net capacitance change. The use of a biotinylated DNA signalling probe permitted the integration of an amplification stage in a sandwich format that employs streptavidin-modified gold nanoparticles. The strategy was preliminarily tested by detecting the breast cancer related BRCA1 gene, where the noncomplementary, wild and mutated forms were easily differentiated at a concentration level of 3 μM (corresponding to a 30 pmol quantity).

Real-time detection of food-borne bacterial adenosine triphosphate (ATP) using dielectrophoretic force and a bioluminescence sensor by Hui-Sung Moon; Hee Taek Im; Ahmi Choi; Hyo-Il Jung (283-288).
Real-time detection and quantification of food-borne bacteria draws increasing interest for evaluation of food quality and safety. Since living cells invariably contain adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the detection of bacterial ATP presents a fascinating method to determine its presence in food. Care must be taken however, to remove food-derived extracellular ATP, which will interfere with detection by ATP-luminescence. We developed a microfluidic and dielectrophoretic (DEP) device for intracellular ATP detection, which captures microorganisms by DEP force and washes extracellular ATP away. The yield of capture by DEP force at a 10 μL∙min−1 flow rate used in experiments was 87.7%. At constant ATP level the electrical sensor responded in proportion to the bacterial concentration. With a constant bacterial concentration and varying ATP, the signal did not change. These results show that the device can remove the extracellular ATP contribution from food to be sampled.

Myeloperoxidase-mediated oxidation of organophosphorus pesticides as a pre-step in their determination by AChE based bioanalytical methods by Tamara Lazarević Pašti; Tatjana Momić; Antonije Onjia; Ljubodrag Vujisić; Vesna Vasić (289-297).
In order to improve the sensitivity of assays for inhibitors of the enzyme acetylcholine esterase (AChE), an effective method was developed for the conversion of the organophosphate pesticides (OPs) diazinon, malathion, chlorpyrifos, azinphos-methyl and phorate into more toxic inhibitors. This was accomplished by converting them from the thio form into their oxo form using the enzyme myeloperoxidase. The oxo forms, which are the only products of conversion, were determined by AChE bioassays, using either the free enzyme, or a flow injection analysis manifold with immobilized AChE and spectrophotometric detection. All modified OPs exhibited inhibitory power at ppb levels and within 10 min. The method is considered to represent an excellent means for improving the sensitivity of assays for determination of OPs.

Stripping voltammetric determination of mercury(II) and lead(II) using screen-printed electrodes modified with gold films, and metal ion preconcentration with thiol-modified magnetic particles by Adil Mandil; Laila Idrissi; Aziz Amine (299-305).
A novel approach to the electrochemical determination of heavy metals in tap water using anodic stripping voltammetry was developed using screen-printed electrodes modified with gold films. After optimisation of the experimental conditions, the screen-printed electrodes modified with gold films displayed excellent linear behaviour in the examined concentration range from 2 to 16 µg L-1 mercury and lead in 50 mM HCl with a detection limit of 1.5 µg L-1 and 0.5 µg L-1 for mercury and lead, respectively. In order to decrease the working range down to less than 1 µg L-1, a preconcentration step based on the use of magnetic particles modified with thiols was introduced into the protocol. Applying optimum binding conditions, the assay using screen-printed electrodes modified with gold films displayed excellent linear behaviour in the concentration range 0.1 to 0.8 µg L-1 in 50 mM HCl. The detection limit after a 120 s deposition time for mercury and lead were 0.08 µg L-1 and 0.02 µg L-1, respectively. The method has been applied to the determination of mercury and lead traces in tap water

A sensitive mercury (II) sensor based on CuO nanoshuttles/poly(thionine) modified glassy carbon electrode by Zhaojing Yin; Jiajia Wu; Zhousheng Yang (307-312).
Shuttle-like copper oxide (CuO) was prepared by a hydrothermal decomposition process. The resulting material was characterized by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. It was then immobilized on the surface of a glassy carbon electrode modified with a film of poly(thionine). A pair of well-defined and reversible redox peaks for Hg(II) was observed with the resulting electrode in pH 7.0 solutions. The anodic and cathodic peak potentials occurred at 0.260 V and 0.220 V (vs. Ag/AgCl), respectively. The modified electrode displayed excellent amperometric response to Hg(II), with a linear range from 40 nM to 5.0 mM and a detection limit of 8.5 nM at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3. The sensor exhibited high selectivity and reproducibility and was successfully applied to the determination of Hg(II) in water samples.

New poly(aryleneethynylene)s as optical active platforms in biosensing. Selective fluorescent detection of Hg(II) obtained by the use of aminoacidic groups anchored on conjugated backbones by Dario Compagnone; Antonella Ricci; Michele Del Carlo; Marco Chiarini; Alessia Pepe; Claudio Lo Sterzo (313-319).
Newly synthesized poly(aryleneethynylene)s carrying substituents such as leucine, glycine and methionine have been prepared and tested for their ability to bind Hg(II) ions. Binding resulted in strong quenching of the fluorescence emission of all the compounds tested. A comparative study of the quenching efficiency by Hg(II) was then carried out in a flow injection system. Quenching efficiency was amplified in the polymeric material because of the so-called "wire effect" that is observed with organic conducting polymers. Under the experimental conditions used, detection limits are in the 50–100 ppb range. The selectivity for Hg(II) is remarkable in that a series of other divalent cations did not give any measurable effect, a slight response being observed for methylmercury only. The materials hold promise for selective determination of Hg(II) ion.

Application of screen-printed microband biosensors incorporated with cells to monitor metabolic effects of potential environmental toxins by Roy M. Pemberton; Frankie J. Rawson; Jinsheng Xu; Robin Pittson; Guido A. Drago; John Griffiths; Simon K. Jackson; John P. Hart (321-330).
Microband biosensors were fabricated from a screen-printed water-based carbon ink containing cobalt phthalocyanine redox mediator and glucose oxidase or lactate oxidase enzyme. The microbiosensors were characterised for their ability to monitor ferrocyanide and H2O2 in phosphate buffer solution: sigmoidal cyclic voltammograms, high current density values and steady-state amperometric responses confirmed the existence of radial-diffusion-limiting microelectrode behaviour. The lactate microband biosensors were then used, in conjunction with a screen-printed Ag/AgCl reference and platinum counter electrode, to monitor lactate levels in culture medium, with a linear range of 0.5–5 mM, sensitivity of 20 nA.mM−1, and dynamic range up to >9 mM. The lactate microband biosensors could operate continuously in culture medium over extended times (up to 24 h) at 37 °C. These biosensors were then applied to detect changes in lactate release from cultured cells in response to toxic challenge: m-dinitrobenzene (500 μM) caused a reduction in lactate production by high-passage number HepG2 single cells; D-galactosamine (20 mM) induced release of lactate by HepG2 spheroid cultures. This novel use of microband biosensors in cell culture has the potential for further application in toxicity monitoring, in both environmental and pharmaceutical areas.
Keywords: Microband electrode biosensor; HepG2 cell culture; Continuous monitoring; Toxicity
Studies towards an amperometric phosphate ion biosensor for urine and water analysis by Lucy Gilbert; Simon Browning; Andrew T. A. Jenkins; John P. Hart (331-336).
An amperometric biosensor for phosphate ion is described that is based on a cobalt phthalocyanine modified screen-printed carbon electrode (CoPC-SPCE). The biosensor operation is based on the enzyme pyruvate oxidase (PyOd) which catalyses the oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate, in the presence of inorganic phosphate and O2, to acetyl phosphate, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and CO2. The transducer allows the electrocatalytic oxidation of H2O2 in order to generate the analytical signal. The enzyme was immobilised onto the CoPC-SPCE using a sandwich format. The inner membrane was formed in situ by depositing an acetone solution containing cellulose acetate first onto the transducer surface. The enzyme and cofactors were then deposited onto this layer and allowed to dry; finally a second aliquot of the cellulose acetate solution was deposited onto the enzyme layer and allowed to dry. The biosensor was characterised by amperometry in stirred solution to produce current-voltage curves and for calibration studies. From these it was deduced that a reliable electrocatalytic response was obtained for phosphate ion; an operating potential of +0.4 V was selected for the analysis of urine samples. The precision of the response for urine analysis and recovery data for potable water suggests that the biosensor could have applications in clinical and environmental monitoring.
Keywords: Biosensor; Phosphate; Amperometric; Urine; Tap water
Formaldehyde-sensitive conductometric sensors based on commercial and recombinant formaldehyde dehydrogenase by Yaroslav I. Korpan; Olexandr O. Soldatkin; Olga F. Sosovska; Halyna M. Klepach; Elisabeth Csöregi; Francis Vocanson; Nicole Jaffrezic-Renault; Mykhailo V. Gonchar (337-344).
Novel formaldehyde-sensitive conductometric biosensors have been developed that are based on commercial bacterial formaldehyde dehydrogenase (FDH) from Pseudomonas putida and recombinant formaldehyde dehydrogenase (rFDH) from the yeast Hansenula polymorpha as the bio-recognition elements. The bio-recognition membranes have mono-layer architecture and consist of enzyme cross-linked with albumin and of the cofactors NAD (for FDH-based sensor) or NAD and glutathione (for rFDH-based sensor). This architecture of the biosensor allows the determination of formaldehyde without adding NAD and glutathione to the analyzed sample at every analysis and conducting measurements on the same transducer without cofactors regeneration since the bio-membrane contains it at high concentration (100 mM for NAD and 20 mM for glutathione). The response is linear in the range from 10 to 200 mM of formaldehyde concentration depending on the enzyme used. The dependence of the biosensor output signals on pH and buffer concentration as well as operational/storage stability and selectivity/specificity of the developed conductometric biosensors have been investigated. The relative standard deviation of the intra-sensor response did not exceed 4% and 10% for rFDH- and FDH-based sensors, respectively. The relative standard deviation of the inter-sensor response constituted 20% for both dehydrogenases used. The biosensors have been validated for formaldehyde detection in some real samples of pharmaceutical (Formidron), disinfectant (Descoton forte) and an industrial product (Formalin). A good correlation does exist between the concentration values measured by the conductometric biosensor developed in this work, an enzymatic method, amperometric biosensors developed earlier, and standard analytical methods of formaldehyde determination.
Keywords: Thin-film interdigitated gold planar electrodes; Conductometric biosensor; Formaldehyde dehydrogenase; Formaldehyde detection

The Kindest Cut of All
A Virtuoso Toronto Surgeon Offers Disfigured Kids a Precious Gift: Normality
For Sandy, the five hours of surgery that lie ahead at Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children offer hope for a normal life. During the past five years, the Sackville, Nova Scotia youngster has suffered from fibrous dysplasia, a nonmalignant bone tumor whose wild growth has swelled the right side of her once pretty face into an ugly, misshapen mask. The rare disorder, whose cause is unknown, has destroyed her right sinus, pushed one eye upward and outward, and threatens to crush an optic nerve. Six earlier operations, in which doctors cut away at the abnormally growing bone, have brought no improvement, so last year Sandy's parents—Harold, a printing plant supervisor, and Linda, a housewife—contacted Dr. Ian Munro, 44, a wiry Englishman who heads the Toronto hospital's cranial-facial surgery team. Munro's group of doctors is one of some 15 such teams in the world today and, with its nine-month waiting list, one of the busiest.
In 12 years Munro has performed 2,000 cranial-facial operations, moving children's eyes when they were too far apart, creating chins where none existed, fixing faces injured in auto crashes or made monstrous by genetic defects. For Sandy, a battery of tests by Munro's team of orthodontists, ophthalmologists, speech pathologists and others had indicated a need for especially radical surgery. Munro would have to peel the skin from the top of her head down to her cheeks, cut away more than 20 cubic inches of diseased bone and reconstruct her face using bone grafts from four of her ribs. Munro had done this specific operation only twice before and admits privately that "on the table you could kill her easily or blind her. All kinds of things can go wrong." When he outlined the operation in detail to Sandy and her mother two days before surgery, the young girl had buried her head in her mother's shoulder and sobbed.
While English madrigals from a local radio station pipe through the operating room, 16 gowned and masked people gather round the patient. Among them: visiting surgeons from the U.S., Taiwan, India and Italy who have come to study Munro's techniques. By 8:45 an oral anesthesia tube has been inserted through Sandy's mouth and down her windpipe to help control her breathing. Munro cuts and peels the facial skin away from her skull. Then he frees her right eye and its optic nerve, which remains attached to the brain, and moves them safely to one side. "Everything is floating in the breeze," he announces cheerily.
Despite the brutal work before them, the surgeons banter through much of the operation. Then, at 9:15, Munro discovers that the diseased bone has invaded Sandy's eye socket. "Oh, gosh," he says. "That makes it considerably more awful." While an assistant finishes removing four of the child's ribs, leaving the periosteum, or bone sheaf (the bone itself, at her age, will grow back in six months), Munro orders the radio tuned to a symphony, then starts to carve away at the unhealthy bone. Most of the time "I can put my hand out and get the right instrument without asking for it," he boasts to his visitors. "The nurses are looking at what I am doing, and I don't have to take my eyes off the table. I don't have to worry about that or whether the machines are going to be working. If they aren't working, the people responsible get their asses kicked." Says nurse Pauline Keenan, a four-year veteran of Munro's team: "Ian is a vocal, aggressive person during surgery. You have to roll with that. But he knows what he is doing." Moments later Munro puts on a headlight to illuminate his work and asks for a specific Tessier surgical instrument. It is named after Paul Tessier, the Frenchman who pioneered this surgery in the late 1960s.
Munro spent six summers in Paris observing Tessier's operations and says the surgeon deserves a Nobel Prize for his contribution to medicine. Munro has modified his master's approach, developing a procedure which, while a little more time-consuming in the initial surgery, reduces the need for follow-up operations. "I am trying to get people back into society so they won't be stared at," says Munro. "I have too long a waiting list to have to go back and fiddle around."
Except for his preschool years in England—when as a little child he was made to sleep under an oak dining table in case of Nazi bombing raids—Munro seems to have approached life on the offensive. The youngest of three children of a Portsmouth physician and his actress wife, he decided on a science career "because it is a nice, tight intellectual discipline." He eventually attended the Cambridge University Medical School, where he captained the golf team and had to "cram like hell" to pass his annual exams. In 1964 Munro moved to Canada, where a less rigid medical establishment permitted him to practice plastic surgery years earlier than allowed in England. "There was no concept of the welfare state in Canada as we have now," he says. "The government was small and solvent, and the people worked."
So did Munro. Spurning "face-lifts-and-boobs" cosmetic surgery as "incredibly boring," he began research on hypertelorism, a deformity in which the eyes are spaced too far apart. After experimental work on animals and cadavers, he successfully performed his first operation on a victim of the disease in 1971. The complicated, dangerous surgery took 13 hours, after which, Munro admits, "I got very drunk." Gradually, colleagues who had been skeptical of such daring cranial-facial cutting referred patients to Munro. He now performs five major operations a week, 40 weeks a year.
Patients like Sandy return for post-op evaluations by Munro's group until they are 18, a process of self-criticism he heartily endorses. "There is a tendency in medicine to go on doing the same thing year after year," he explains. "This way there is a constant stimulus to get better, quicker, more efficient."
At 10:15 an alarm goes off indicating abnormal breathing. Anesthesiologist Creighton readjusts the windpipe tube that has slipped out of place, and Munro resumes his work, now cutting through the child's mouth above her hard palate. "Multo dificile," mutters the visiting Italian surgeon. At 11:00 more blood is brought in, part of the almost four pints that will be used before the operation is done. Munro and his assistants change into new gloves and gowns.
Five minutes later Munro starts the toughest work, using rib bones that have been scraped and cleaned, to reconstruct Sandy's face. He drills holes into the ends of the rib segments so they can be wired into place. He places one five-inch-length section crosswise to create a cheekbone and uses smaller pieces to build the floor of the eye socket. At 11:15 another problem arises: The soft tissue of Sandy's right eye has been compressed so long that it has atrophied considerably. "How in the hell are we going to get it to stay in there?" Munro wonders aloud. Then he tries something new, experimenting with a different way of reconstructing the frame of the eye orbit. "You have to have great faith in bone grafts to do this. You wire bits to bits all the way down," he says.
By 1:05 Munro has reconstructed, almost from scratch, the right side of Sandy's face, moved her nose a half inch to the right and pulled up her facial tissue, reattaching it to the scalp with metal staples. The visitors leave the operating room, but the surgeon stands by the child's side for five minutes until the anesthesiologist brings her back to consciousness. "How many fingers am I holding up?" he asks, while covering her left eye. "Two," she says weakly, then falls back to sleep. "She's okay, "says Munro with a grin as he bounds out of the operating room to tell her parents.
A father himself, Munro keeps a portrait of wife Valerie and his three teenage children prominently displayed in his English Tudor home in Toronto. Mindful of the kids' schoolwork, he forbids TV watching and spends much of his own spare time taking the clan skiing and sailing. His 14-year-old son, Neil, does not live with the family. Retarded and confined to a wheelchair because of cerebral palsy, he has been institutionalized but comes home for weekly dinner and for holidays.
There is nothing the surgeon can do for the boy ("He needs a new brain," says his father), but Munro credits his son with making "me empathetic to other people, much more so than I would have been otherwise." Munro has recently operated on children with Down's syndrome and says that "one of the ways I judge whether I would do something for a kid is whether I would want it done for my kid. Anytime you get into the big stuff, you are taking a risk that something goes wrong." In 2,000 difficult cranial-facial operations, seven patients have died from complications arising during or after surgery. Earlier this month an Ontario court ordered Munro to pay $68,500 in damages and Iegal fees in the case of a woman who had lost most of her teeth after he operated on her to correct an overbite in 1978. Says Munro, "I still do not understand what happened [medically] in that case." The judge who handed down the decision—which Munro is considering appealing—went out of his way to cite Munro's "brilliant surgical talents" and his "well-earned international reputation" but concluded that in the case at hand the doctor had "erred, and must be held accountable."
Little has gone wrong with Sandy apart from a low-grade infection caused by one of the wires in her cheek. Although she will receive orthodontia to straighten teeth skewed by her disease, her face is once again balanced. By the time her postsurgery swelling subsided, eight weeks after the operation, she gave up her habit of hiding her face behind one hand. She runs and bikes with her sister, Kary, 7, and her friends, attracting no more—or less—attention than any other energetic child. "I think she is on cloud nine," says her mother. "She's just a different little girl. It used to be we couldn't go anywhere without someone coming up and asking, 'What happened to your face?' Now she is giddy, bouncing around. She has come out of herself." Munro is pleased but typically matter-of-fact. "The only thing that counts is the child," he says, after surveying his handiwork during one of Sandy's postsurgical visits. "Ultimately, everyone else is irrelevant."

LAUSANNE, Switzerland — It was exactly one year ago today that the Olympic Games - long considered a relatively pristine outpost in an increasingly grubby sports world - finally revealed their own soiled laundry.
Just days after a sketchy news report aired in Salt Lake City concerning a clandestine scholarship fund for the children of International Olympic Committee members, one of the IOC's inner circle blew the whistle on the mess.
Marc Hodler of Switzerland stood up and declared that the Olympic Games were for sale to the highest bidder, with cities around the world rushing to fill the pockets of IOC members in order to win their votes and become host cities.

Have you heard of bitcoins? If you haven't, you will....
I first heard of them about 6 months ago, when a buddy of mine who is crazy about almost everything (I add the word "almost" only because bitcoin is the only thing he has ever told me that is not crazy). He told me of this strange online currency - that would change a lot of things - but of interest to me was online gambling.
So here are the cliff notes. Yes, it is long - but this is a little untidy and complicated because it is still in the infant stages. I am new to this - so please excuse me if some of my details about the technology of Bitcoin are wrong - just correct me and I will acknowledge it.
As we all know, Americans have been targeted for playing poker and betting on sports online for the last decade or so. The US govt has fought this on basically two fronts: by going after the online gambling providers, and by passing the UIGEA which basically limits financial transactions to gambling establishments. The success of this campaign has been huge - online poker has all but dried up in the US, and we all know the trials and tribulations of online sports gambling in 2013.
Enter Bitcoin. What is bitcoin? It is basically online currency.
* One bitcoin is worth a certain value (more to come), and that bitcoin can be broken down to 8 decimal points. * Bitcoin has no physical presence - and I cant really ex... [More]
Yes, todays news from the poker world is bad. No, it is worse than bad.
How bad? Bad enough to potentially bring down the 3 top poker sites - Pokerstars and Full Tilt together swamp the online sports betting world in terms of volume. So one can only assume that this is very bad for the extremely limited sports betting that is left out there for Americans.
The cliff notes are that Pokerstars, Ulitmate Bet, and Full Tilt were using undercover ways to fund and pay accounts in America. They bought off bank presidents, bought banks outright, and used CC and WU methods that the DOJ deems illegal according to the UIGEA of 2006. Indictments were handed out today, and no official word has come from the sites - but there is much speculation from very reliable sources that they will most likely shut down completely. At best, they will remain open for non-Americans, but Americans poker playing days online are all but done.
I wonder what Negranu, Hellmuth, Ivey - and those other posers will do now - will they just make a cash grab and disappear or will they fight with the money they made on the backs of the players to get something done. I wonder what this will do to the poker movement - it could go one way or the other - but what are the odds on a bunch of degenerates getting organized and getting something done? Maybe the PPA will do something - I hope so.
Sounds similar to sports betting? How ... [More]
Placing a wager on sports is totally legal at the federal level in the US and is not governed by the Wire Act. The act of accepting wagers is what is covered by the wire act, an important distinction. Let me quote the ruling that has stood since Nov 25, 1981 and has NEVER been challenged (USA vs Robert Baborian 528 F.Supp 324 paragraph 5):Congress intended the "business of gambling" to mean bookmaking, i.e. the taking and laying off of bets, and not mere betting. The provocative question is whether this is still the proper definition when the bettor wagers substantial sums and displays the sophistication of an expert in his knowledge of odds making. This court concludes that the statute simple does not covers such a situation. This court finds that Congress never intended to include a social bettor within the prohibition of the statute and that Congress did not contemplate prohibiting the activities of mere bettors, even where, as with Mr Baborian, they bet large sums of money with a great deal of sophistication. The truth of the matter is that the DOJ does interpret the law the way I stated it, and that is evidenced by the fact that there has not been a single prosecution at the Federal level since the case I cited (USA vs Baborian 1981). Not one single bettor has been brought up on federal charges since 1981 unless there was tax evasion, money laundering, or RICO thrown at them. The Wire Act simply appli... [More]
Yesterday there was a thread about hedging a parlay, as there is at least 5 times a week every week. I am constantly amazed at just how many people assume that hedging is a good practice. At least 90% of the people here – when asked – give the advice to hedge the last game of a parlay.
For those interested, here is the math, and the reason that it is dumb to hedge.
The first situation is what the poster yesterday did, as he parlayed teams on 2 different days. His first 3 teams were on Sunday, and his 4th team was on Monday. This is a big no no. He would be much better off betting a 3 team parlay on Sunday, and then rolling all of the proceeds in to a straight bet on Monday:
Option 1: Bet a 4 team parlay at 10-1. Bet 100, win 1,000.
Option 2: Bet a 3 team parlay at 6-1, bet all proceeds straight up on Monday team. Bet 100, win 1,336.
Option 2 makes you MUCH more money (1,336 vs 1,000) on y... [More]
Todays top ten list, from the home office in Vegas (originator of all lines and master of everything gambling), top 10 ways to get attention by posting a catchy thread title:
10. {{{{{\\\\\\\\\\Use lots of punctuation like .............. or *************** in thread title
8. Post your record (10-2 on last 12 plays) in thread title
7. Restate your username in your thread title. IE: "Vanzacks plays for today"
6. Post the word "lock" or some variation of incredible information inside.
5. Be totally vague but enticing in thread title.
4. Come up with catchy theme and stick with it.
3. Post some made up amount that you supposedly bet in thread title.
2. Make thread title as long as you possibly can.
1. Do all of the above.
Whenever people talk about lines, line movements, and results - there is always one consensus - "boy, Vegas sure knows what they are doing when they make these lines". I have been searching for the elusive "vegas" for some insight, and have made some progress.
There are two main schools of thought amongst gamblers about how lines are set. The first is that lines are set by "vegas" in an attempt to trap or lure you in to betting a side. This introduces the term "public" to the discussion - the "public" is the square or novice bettor who falls for not so obvious betting pitfalls. Of course, "vegas" knows more than the "public" so they set a line that looks inviting on the surface, but they know they have the edge when you bet that side. The people who believe this theory think that the lines come out with one purpose in mind, to get as many people to bet on a side of the game that vegas has an edge on, and then over time vegas makes a killing.
The second school of thought on linemaking is that "vegas" just wants to have even action on both sides of the game, and make guaranteed profit from the vig. They dont know anything more than you and I know, and in fact they dont even set a line to reflect what they think will be the result of the contest, they set a line only to attract even action on a game. In this case - "vegas" is not in to the prediction of results, they are in to the prediction of wagering dollars.&... [More]

Dear Abby: In light of the recent headlines about subprime lending, may I offer some advice to the tens of thousands of seniors who fall victim to predatory lending every year? Bet Tzedek - The House of Justice, the organization I lead in Los Angeles, offers free legal services to help people who have lost their homes to fraud and predatory lending.
Seniors can do several things to avoid being taken advantage of.
First: Any senior facing financial problems should confide in family and friends. Each year, homeowners consult us because they're in imminent danger of losing their homes and they were too ashamed to ask family members or friends for help or advice until it was too late. Shame too often drives seniors to strangers who promise quick fixes.
Second: Seniors who are behind on their mortgage should contact their lender. If possible, the lender will try to work something out with the borrower to avoid foreclosure. For help working with the lender, the senior should call a HUD-certified counseling agency, which can give the senior advice on all available financial options.
Third: Stay away from people who come to the door offering to "rescue" the house from foreclosure!
And finally, people thinking about obtaining a home loan should be sure they understand the language in their loan documents before signing them and should be particularly careful before agreeing to an adjustable-rate loan.
I hope that seniors everywhere will take these simple, proactive steps to protect their financial well-being. - Mitchell A. Kamin, Ceo, Bet Tzedek Legal Services
Dear Mitchell: So do I. Thank you for your helpful letter, and for reaching out to help seniors nationwide.
However, seniors are not the only people who have been victims of fraud and predatory lending practices.
I'm sad to say, minorities have also been targeted.
Because this problem has been so widespread, I am listing additional resources for people of all ages who may have been affected:
(1) Your local Department of Consumer Affairs. Most local municipalities have one, often with a public complaint phone number.
(2). The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
(3) Local law enforcement. Many police departments and prosecutors have units to deal with financial crimes and abuse.
(4) The National Consumer Law Center (www.consumerlaw.org), which offers referrals and resources for consumers.
(5) ACORN. Its Web site - www.acorn.org - has information about local offices and resources available nationally. You may also call (866) 67-ACORN.
(6) Your local Better Business Bureau and/or Chamber of Commerce.
Dear Abby: Is it proper etiquette to send condolences for a death by e-mail? - John T., Winslow, Ill.
Dear John: The experts are divided on this. It's better than nothing, I suppose.
Of course, the test would be to ask yourself how you would feel if condolences on the death of your loved one were extended this way.
Consider receiving something like this: "Dear John: Sor-E 2 hear about UR Dad. :( Please accept R sympathy." If that's what you'd want, go ahead and hit "send."
Personally, I think sending something a bit less casual would be more appropriate.

Big data has generated a significant amount of attention over the past few years, with companies refining their analytics techniques and visionaries imagining remarkable new ways to transform lives and create opportunities with the resource. However, behind these exciting developments are substantial technological and conceptual challenges. Is your enterprise prepared to leverage big data resources?
What can big data do?
On a basic level, big data projects involve collecting, storing, and analyzing sets of information so large that traditional processing tools aren't able to accommodate them. Typically marked by great degrees of variety in terms of sources and data type, the resources can be analyzed in advanced ways to draw fascinating insights from facts and figures that previously weren't available to assess in that way.
Initiatives involving big data span almost all industries, from government to commercial ventures. For example, Fortune Magazine described how a startup founded by two young tech professionals, Nat Turner and Zach Weinberg, aims to improve cancer research and care through insights driven by big data analytics. By June 2016, the organization plans to have data from more than 1 million cancer patients.
Or consider, for instance, how sports teams and analysts have used big data to make predictions and better target their training and coaching decisions. Forbes Magazine explained how companies are using the resource to improve their hiring practices, drawing recruits that are more aligned with their organizations' needs and ambitions.
The technology behind the insights
However, before you can get to these exciting applications, you need to establish the underlying technological infrastructure to aggregate, store, and process massive volumes of information. As Newsweek noted, more than 80 percent of big data resources are unstructured, coming from sources such as social media platforms.
One tool that has enabled groups to make headway with collecting this type of information is Hadoop, a platform specifically designed to handle high volumes of unstructured data. An open source framework, the software library can scale up to distribute processing among multiple computers.
With big data, maintaining the integrity of the system is extremely important, both because of the value of data resources and due to the potentially personal nature of some information. To facilitate data transfers to and from Hadoop, companies can turn to robust solutions such as Globalscape® Enhanced File Transfer™ and DMZ Gateway®. These out-of-the-box solutions offer greater visibility and security for every file, even at high volumes.
For additional information about managing big data resources, refer to our free use case, "Globalscape® Solution for Onboarding Big Data."

The Pinewood Lady Panthers golf team wrapped up its season Monday by clinching its fourth consecutive SCISA State Championship.
The Panthers bested runner-up Oakbrook Prep of Spartanburg by 23 shots, winning 355 to 378. The tournament was played at Pine Forest Country Club.
The Lady Panthers were led by tournament medalist Reona Hirai, who will be playing for Furman next year. Hirai shot a six-under 66 to set a SCISA tournament record.
Hirai had a flawless round with six birdies, 12 pars and no bogeys.
"That was just a spectacular performance by Reona, although I come to almost expect that with Reona as she is such a top quality player," Pinewood coach Greg Baechtle said. "What makes this even more amazing is that she was in Japan for the past week watching her brother play and returned home late Sunday evening so she hasn't had a chance to even pick up a club for over a week. It was just a great way for her to wrap up her girls' golf career at Pinewood."
Sophomore Michaela McAuley backed up Hirai with an 89.
"Michaela struggled a little on the front nine but I talked to her, at the turn, about hanging in there and how things could change quickly," Baechtle said. "She chipped in for a par on 12 and that seemed to get her going and she was able to improve by five shots on the back nine." McAuley earned All-state honors for the first time in her career.
Senior Olivia Coyle contributed a 93 to the Panthers effort.
"Olivia started slowly, but that is not unusual for her," Baechtle said. "Like Michaela she too was able shave a few shots off on the back nine to help the team."
Seniors Kerstin Fridh and Caroline Chester rounded out the team as both shot 107.
"Kerstin and Caroline both had a tough day but I give them both a lot of credit, Baechtle said. "They hung in there and kept battling right to the very last shot."
The Panthers finished the regular season with a record of 18-1. The team will have a whole new look next year as Hirai, Coyle, Fridh and Chester are all seniors.
"This has been a great run with these girls," Baechtle said. "I've really enjoyed having them for the past four years. They have come a long way from our very first practice and tournament. They have all improved so much these past few years. Our very first tournament we finished dead last and since then we have won four SCISA state championships, beaten many of the public schools that finished ahead of us in that first tournament, put together a 59-match unbeaten streak and I think we have also had a lot fun doing that. So, while I will miss these girls I look forward to a new group next year and hopefully we can continue some of the success that these ladies have had."

Two killed in Crawford County crash (updated 3:47 p.m.)
MEADVILLE -- A 3-year-old boy was killed in a Crawford County crash that also claimed the life of a Centerville woman.
Susan Martin, 42, was driving a Dodge Grand Caravan east on state Route 408 in Richmond Township at 10:33 a.m. Friday when she lost control of the van on the snow- and ice-covered road, state police at Meadville said.
The van crossed into the westbound lane and struck a tractor-trailer, police said.
Both the van and the tractor-trailer traveled off the road; the van came to rest facing south and the truck came to rest facing east, police said.
The relationship between Martin and the 3-year-old boy was not immediately known. Both were wearing seat belts, police said.
It was not clear whether the driver of the tractor-trailer, 47-year-old Robert Baughman of Townville, suffered any injuries.
The accident remains under investigation.

Dr. Menninger has produced a solid yet readable book, and the profusion of brief case histories, graphically presented, will undoubtedly appeal to the lay reader. Just what, if any, purpose is served, however, by attempting to initiate the general public into the mysteries of psychiatry is another question. Had Pope lived today, he surely would have had this question in mind when he warned: "Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring." Every one knows that the newspaper reader promptly worries about having all the symptoms enumerated in the patent medicine advertisements; may not a similar and perhaps more serious disturbance result from reading popular psychiatry?

Spectrum Health Pennock provides personalized services and a caring community so that patients and families can attain the necessary preparation for those who have a limited life expectancy.
Spectrum Health Pennock Hospice is a compassionate approach to care whose goal is to embrace people into our Spectrum Health Pennock family, help people with serious illness live life fully, maintain their dignity and keep control over their lives. In medieval times, Hospices were known as inns of rest, which "lodged, cherished and refreshed" the Crusader, the sick and the dying. Today, Spectrum Health Pennock Hospice carries on this theme by providing medical care, emotional, and spiritual support to people and their families facing life-limiting illness in homes, our hospital, adult facilities, nursing homes, group homes and personal area residents. Spectrum Health Pennock Hospice is available to any one with an illness whose life expectancy is measured in months, rather than years.

Kareeb (Hindi: क़रीब, translation: close) is a 1998 Bollywood film directed by Vidhu Vinod Chopra. It stars Bobby Deol, Amit Phalke and Shabana Raza.
Birju (Bobby Deol) is a young man from an upper-middle-class family in Himachal Pradesh. His father insists on him being responsible, while Birju is interested in petty theft, lies, and romancing a beautiful young woman named Neha. Neha is a simple, beautiful, and responsible girl from a poor family. Birju sees Neha for the first time and falls in love with Neha that very moment. Neha also starts liking Birju but hides her feelings. Birju tries everything to impress Neha and Neha accepts that she loves Birju and can't live without him.
Birju's father does not want Birju to marry into a poor family but Birju lies that Nehas's uncle is rich and arranges their wedding. Birju steals money from his home and pretends that the money has been sent by Neha's uncle. However on the night of the wedding, Birju's father discovers the truth and calls off the wedding.
Neha's mother, unable to withstand this emotional setback, suffers a heart attack. When Birju meets Neha, she is very sad for her mother and also very angry at Birju for lying. Neha takes a promise from Birju that he would never show his face again. Neha takes her mother to a Shimla hospital in an ambulance. Birju follows her. Birju spends that night sleeping on the footsteps of a laundry shop owned by Bhigelal (Johnny Lever). Bhigelal is an interesting character as well. He has a dream of visiting England one day and even has a collection of antique coins to sell it to some diwanji. He earns hard and with the money earned by coins and his hard work, he plans to visit England (which also was his father's dream). He hires Birju as a laundry boy. This is Birju's first job and he does that to stay near Neha and to earn some money to support her mother's treatment. One day Birju meets uncle and aunty (Shammi Kapoor and Sushma Seth). They treat Birju as their own son and offer to help him whenever he needs it.
Once when Birju makes inquiries about Neha's mother, he is told by the receptionist that Neha's mother needs an immediate operation and it will be very expensive. Neha tries to contact Birju for help but is not able to reach him. There comes doctor Abhay in the scene. He is very fond of Neha and proposes to marry her in exchange for her mother's operation for free as doctors have their free quota for their relatives.
Birju goes to uncle and aunty and they suggest him to buy a lottery ticket and they will make him win by corrupting some government officials. They ask Birju to get them some amount to bribe the officials. Birju buys the ticket, works hard day and night and gathers the amount and gives it uncle and aunty but eventually comes to know that the couple were a frauds and they took money from many other people and ran away. Helpless Birju steals the money from Bhigelal to pay for the surgery. He returns to the hospital with the money and gives it to the doctor and asks the doctor to keep that secret from Neha.
Birju's family realizes Birju's loves for Neha and decides to support their son in Simla. They reach Simla and handle things with Bhigelal who goes mad on seeing his robbed drawer with Birju's note consisting of a promise to return the money. Neha comes to know that Birju helped her and wants to meet him. They both meet again on staircase of hospital and times stops again to see them completely in love with each other.

Guest Voice: Keep Erie kids' minds and bodies healthy
Busy schedules and life's daily demands can make it difficult for parents to ensure that their children are practicing healthy habits on a regular basis.
According to the YMCA's Family Health Snapshot, a survey of parents that gauges their children's activity levels during the school year, on a typical day, fewer than 20 percent of the nation's children get 60 minutes of physical activity, read books for fun and eat at least eight fruits and vegetables. According to the Erie Vital Signs project, in Erie County, 33 percent of children are overweight or obese and 26 percent are below proficient reading level in third grade.
This Saturday, the YMCA of Greater Erie will celebrate YMCA's Healthy Kids Day with a free community event to get more families moving, learning and living healthier. Healthy Kids Day, a national initiative of the Y, takes place at 1,900 Ys and features fun, educational activities such as family fitness, outdoor recreation tips and ideas, hands-on cooking/snack demonstrations and excerpts from the Y's Food & Fun Curriculum.
"At YMCA's Healthy Kids Day, we are focusing on health and education to ensure fewer children are at an increased risk for childhood obesity and more children succeed in school," said Gerry Vandemerwe, chief executive of the YMCA of Greater Erie. "But it's not just a single day of fun, active play and learning -- it's a kickoff to helping parents get a jump on creating a healthier summer."
During summer, many children lose exposure to out-of-school activities that keep their minds and bodies active, leaving them at risk of falling behind academically and gaining weight twice as fast as they would during the school year. Here are five ideas for activities that families can begin doing now and throughout summer to stay healthy.
- Begin planning now for summer activities. Check with the Y or local parks and recreation departments to find opportunities for day or resident camp, swimming, arts and crafts, or sports.
- Start a book series and read together each night as a family. Reading at night keeps the brain buzzing and young minds active!
- Drink water. Have fun with flavor; give it some pizazz with a slice of lemon, lime, orange or even cucumber.
- Take a walking staycation. Map out a new neighborhood or hiking trail in your area and get your family to explore on foot. It's a great way to make Saturday a healthy, active start to the weekend.
- Next time your children complain, "I'm bored!" give your kids a jump rope! It's an awesome way to have fun and keep moving. They can go solo, or get others in on the fun.
- Start a "Words I Want to Know" notebook for the entire family. When there is an unfamiliar word, write it down, look it up and add it to the family's vocabulary. You can even keep track of these on the refrigerator.
Additional resources and ideas for parents are available at www.letsmoveoutside.org. This is the website for an Erie County Department of Health initiative, Let's Move Outside -- Erie County's Recreational Passport, which began in the summer of 2012 and will continue this year.
TAMMY ROCHE is vice president for financial development, membership and marketing for the Y in Erie (firstname.lastname@example.com).

Policymakers and scientists meet this week in New Orleans to solve some of the big ecological problems facing the Gulf of Mexico.
The meeting, which convenes Tuesday, will focus on the dead zone, a huge area of low-oxygen that plagues the Gulf each summer. The dead zone is caused by the nutrients coming into the Gulf from the Mississippi River. Scientists will present findings to the Gulf of Mexico Alliance, a group founded in 2004 by Gulf state governors.
The Gulf, still recovering from last summer's massive BP PLC oil spill, is stressed each summer by the dead zone. The aim is to get policymakers in the Gulf and in the Mid-West to work together to reduce the amount of urban and agricultural runoff that gets into the Mississippi.

2003 Verite La Muse Red Wine Sonoma County
Producer: Verite
Style: Red Wine
Grape Type: Bordeaux Blend
Origin: California
Region: Sonoma
93 Points | Stephen Tanzer's IWC - May/June 2006
(83.5% merlot, 10% cabernet franc, 5.5% cabernet sauvignon and 1% malbec) Full ruby-red. Deep aromas of currant, mocha, chocolate, iron, tobacco and dried herbs, with a liqueur-like nuance. Round, vinous and rich, with highly concentrated flavors of currant, leather and chocolate. There's a silkiness to the texture and a candied note to the wine's fruit, but this powerfully structured merlot-based wine's building tannins and uncompromising dryness will require at least four or five years of cellaring.

It also states that, as National Focal Point of Mali, he applied his capacity and wisdom in firmly defending the interests of the least developed countries (LDCs), including his own, while always remaining dedicated to the global good and the objectives of the Convention.
