To evaluate congenital syphilis surveillance in Minnesota, to assess the evaluation and management of newborns at risk for congenital syphilis, and to assess prenatal syphilis screening.
Case ascertainment and medical record review.
The 7-county Minneapolis–St Paul metropolitan area.
Newborns at risk for congenital syphilis during a 3-year period (1992-1994).
Main Outcome Measures
The completeness of congenital syphilis case ascertainment, maternal demographic data, maternal syphilis management, newborn evaluation for and management of congenital syphilis, and hospital syphilis screening practices at delivery.
Eighty mother-infant pairs who were at risk for congenital syphilis were identified from 3 sources. Using the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's congenital syphilis case definition, 36 infants (45%) were classified as probable cases, 42 (53%) were classified as noncases, and 2 (3%) were syphilitic stillbirths. Forty-seven women (59%) had syphilis serologic tests performed in the third trimester; only 37 (46%) had syphilis screening at delivery. Conditions of the mothers of 8 probable cases (22%) were diagnosed at delivery. Most probable cases (86%) were evaluated; only 56% were evaluated adequately. Twenty-five probable cases (69%) were treated. Most hospitals did not have formal policies for syphilis screening at delivery. The Minnesota Department of Health's congenital syphilis registry lacked sensitivity (39%) as a case ascertainment method.
Clinicians should adhere to standardized protocols in the evaluation and management of at-risk newborns. Vigilant screening prenatally and at delivery and adequate follow-up are critical to reduce congenital syphilis. Improved surveillance data and resources are needed for the identification and follow-up of newborns at risk for congenital syphilis.
DESPITE available and effective treatment for syphilis, congenital syphilis remains a public health and clinical challenge. After 2 decades of declining rates of primary and secondary syphilis, the incidence of early syphilis and congenital syphilis increased markedly in the 1980s and early 1990s.1,2 Although some of the reported increase in congenital syphilis was attributable to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC's) expansion of the surveillance case definition for congenital syphilis in 1988,3 a true increase is suggested by the epidemic of early syphilis in women of childbearing age.1,2 Although the incidence of syphilis in Minnesota is lower than the national rate, similar temporal trends have occurred here, with higher rates observed in urban areas (Figure 1).4
Early syphilis rates in Minnesota by area of residence, 1990-1997. Rates were not available in 1990 for greater Minnesota and suburban areas.
Although the syphilis epidemic has diminished during the past 5 years and the national incidence rate (3.2 cases per 100 000 population) is at an all-time low,5 syphilis remains a significant endemic public health problem. Furthermore, periodic epidemics will continue to occur until syphilis is eliminated.6
In a low-incidence state such as Minnesota, evaluation and management of newborns at risk for congenital syphilis are particular challenges for health care providers. The CDC surveillance definition, which was revised in 1996, is highly sensitive and often includes asymptomatic infants.7,8 Also, clinicians caring for newborns often are unfamiliar with the complex protocols for evaluation and management of congenital syphilis. In addition to the CDC's surveillance case definition of congenital syphilis, several other published protocols9- 13
define a clinical case of congenital syphilis and provide varied guidelines for the evaluation and management of at-risk newborns.
We conducted a study to evaluate the completeness of Minnesota's congenital syphilis surveillance system, to assess the evaluation and management of neonates at risk for congenital syphilis, and to assess physicians' knowledge and practices regarding prenatal screening for syphilis.14
In Minnesota, health care practitioners and laboratories are required to report syphilis cases to the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH). Infants possibly at risk for congenital syphilis and born in the 7-county Minneapolis–St Paul metropolitan area during 1992 through 1994 were identified from 3 sources: (1) the MDH's congenital syphilis registry, (2) discharge records from hospitals in the metropolitan area for infants younger than 2 years with an International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision (ICD-9)15 discharge diagnosis code consistent with congenital syphilis during the study period, and (3) pregnant women who were diagnosed as having syphilis and reported to the MDH in 1991 through 1994 and who had delivered during 1992 through 1994. Eligible mother-infant pairs included those in which the mother had a history of syphilis during pregnancy and/or the newborn was diagnosed as having congenital syphilis during the study period. This study was approved by the Human Subjects Review Committee at Hennepin County Medical Center.
Hospital records for all mothers and newborns identified were reviewed by one of us or a hospital infection control practitioner using a standardized data abstraction form. Maternal demographic data, clinical information regarding treatment of maternal syphilis, and data regarding the diagnosis, evaluation, and management of the newborns were abstracted from medical records. Newborns were classified using the CDC surveillance case definitions for syphilitic stillbirths, probable syphilis cases, and confirmed cases of congenital syphilis.7,16 A syphilitic stillbirth was defined as a fetal death in which the mother had untreated or inadequately treated syphilis at delivery of a fetus after a 20-week gestation or of a fetus weighing more than 500 g. A probable case was defined as (1) an infant whose mother had untreated or inadequately treated syphilis at delivery, regardless of signs in the infant or child, or (2) an infant or child who has a reactive treponemal test result for syphilis and any 1 of the following: evidence of congenital syphilis on physical examination, any evidence of congenital syphilis on radiographs of long bones, a reactive cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) VDRL test result, an elevated CSF cell count or protein level (without cause), or a reactive fluorescent treponemal antibody absorbed 19S IgM antibody test result or IgM enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. A confirmed case required laboratory-confirmed identification of spirochetes.7
To document local hospitals' obstetrical screening practices for syphilis at delivery, a standardized questionnaire was used to conduct a telephone survey of obstetrical nursing supervisors at all 13 hospitals in the Minneapolis–St Paul metropolitan area where mother-infant pairs were identified.
Univariate analyses were performed using standard microcomputer software to calculate rate ratios (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).17 Differences between means of continuous variables were compared using the nonparametric Kruskal-Wallis test. P<.05 was considered statistically significant. The "capture-recapture" method outlined by McCarthy et al18 was used to estimate the completeness of case ascertainment via methods used in the study to identify probable cases of congenital syphilis and syphilitic stillbirths. The capture-recapture method uses log-linear modeling to correct for underascertainment.
Eighty-one eligible mother-infant pairs were identified from the 3 case-finding sources. One woman reported to the MDH as a syphilis case during pregnancy had a medical record that contained no evidence of syphilis, and her newborn did not have congenital syphilis; this case was excluded from the study. Sixteen newborns were identified through the MDH congenital syphilis registry, 26 newborns were identified by ICD-9 hospital discharge data, and 72 pregnant women with syphilis were identified by case reports to the MDH. Some mother-infant pairs were identified through more than one source.
The demographic and clinical characteristics of the 80 mothers are presented in Table 1. The mothers ranged in age from 16 to 40 years; they were predominantly racial and ethnic minorities, and most were unmarried. Most mothers were insured by public assistance and resided in urban areas. Compared with demographic data on pregnant women who were delivered of newborns in the 7-county metropolitan area during the study period, the mothers in this study were significantly more likely to be minorities (RR, 4.9; 95% CI, 4.5-5.4; P<.001), to be unmarried (RR, 5.0; 95% CI, 3.3-10.0; P<.001), and to reside in an urban area (RR, 2.7; 95% CI, 2.4-3.0; P<.001). Many (44%) of these women had coexisting sexually transmitted diseases. Human immunodeficiency virus serologic test results were negative for 44 mothers (55%) and positive for 1 (1%). Human immunodeficiency virus status was unknown or not documented in the hospital birth record for 35 women (44%).
Newborns were classified based on an assessment of the adequacy of maternal treatment for syphilis and clinical assessment of the newborn according to CDC guidelines.7,16 Of the 80 mother-infant pairs identified, 36 infants (45%) were classified as probable syphilis cases, 42 (53%) were noncases, and 2 (3%) were syphilitic stillbirths. None of the infants met the CDC definition of a confirmed case of congenital syphilis.
Although the mean gestational age at birth of probable cases and noncases did not differ significantly, the mean birth weight of the probable cases (2995 g) was significantly less than that of noncases (3236 g) (P = .04).
Of the 36 probable cases, 34 (94%) were asymptomatic. Thirty-one (86%) of the 36 probable cases received some clinical evaluation. Twenty (56%) of the 36 cases were evaluated adequately (ie, complete clinical examination, quantitative nontreponemal serologic tests, long bone radiographs, and CSF evaluation), 11 cases (31%) were inadequately or partially evaluated, and 5 cases (14%) were not evaluated. Twenty-six probable cases (72%) had lumbar punctures. Interpretation of CSF results was limited by missing information (10 cases) or traumatic lumbar punctures (8 cases). Table 2 summarizes the evaluation and treatment of the newborns. Two cases (6%) had clinical evidence of congenital syphilis, including 1 infant who died with severe congenital syphilis (ie, hydrops, disseminated intravascular coagulation, and neurosyphilis) hours after birth.
Twenty-five (69%) of the 36 probable cases were treated for congenital syphilis. Twenty-two (88%) of these infants were treated with 10 to 14 days of parenteral penicillin, 1 infant (4%) received 3 days of aqueous crystalline penicillin G (this infant had a normal evaluation), and 2 infants (8%) received several days of aqueous crystalline penicillin G and 1 dose of intramuscular penicillin G benzathine. Both of these 2 infants had missing CSF data.
Ten probable cases were not treated (excluding the death); only 1 of these newborns was evaluated for congenital syphilis. Eight of the 10 mothers of these newborns had inadequate or unknown treatment, 1 had received nonpenicillin therapy (erythromycin estolate), and 1 was not treated. Although the medical records indicated the physician's awareness of maternal syphilis in 9 of 10 cases, only 2 of these mothers were screened for syphilis at delivery. None of these 10 newborns had a discharge diagnosis that indicated congenital syphilis or were reported to the MDH congenital syphilis registry. Follow-up data on these newborns are unavailable.
Twenty-nine (69%) of 42 noncases had some evaluation for congenital syphilis (eg, serologic testing, long bones, radiographs, and/or CSF evaluation), and 4 noncases (10%) were treated for congenital syphilis.
Overall, 47 women (59%) had syphilis serologic testing performed in the third trimester, and only 37 (46%) had syphilis screening at delivery. Mothers (22%) of 8 of the probable cases were first diagnosed as having syphilis at delivery. Five of the 8 mothers of probable cases diagnosed at delivery had more than 1 prenatal visit. Mothers of noncases had more prenatal visits (mean, 9) than mothers of probable cases (mean, 6) (P
= .003).
Only 2 (15%) of the 13 hospitals surveyed had a protocol for syphilis screening at delivery. Of the 11 hospitals without a protocol, 9 (82%) reported that screening at delivery was performed at the discretion of the admitting physician. None of the 5 urban hospitals where most (77%) of the study cases were identified had a formal policy for screening pregnant women for syphilis at delivery. However, one of these hospitals routinely performed a cord blood rapid plasma reagin test.
The sensitivity of each of the 3 potential congenital syphilis case ascertainment methods was calculated based on the following: (1) the assumption that all true cases of congenital syphilis were identified by at least 1 detection method and (2) the fact that 118 332 live births occurred in the 7-county metropolitan area during the study period. The CDC surveillance case definition of a probable case of congenital syphilis or a syphilitic stillbirth was the gold standard against which sensitivity was evaluated. The MDH congenital syphilis registry identified 15 (39%) of 38 cases. The hospital discharge ICD-9 codes identified 21 cases (55%), and the MDH registry of pregnant women with syphilis identified 33 cases (87%).
All 38 cases identified cumulatively by these 3 methods were included in the reports to MDH of pregnant women with syphilis and/or the ICD-9 discharge diagnosis data; none of the 38 cases was identified solely through the MDH congenital syphilis registry. Using the capture-recapture method, the corrected number of presumptive cases of congenital syphilis and syphilitic stillbirths ascertainable using both ICD-9
discharge diagnosis data and reports to MDH of pregnant women with syphilis was estimated to be 43 (95% CI, 36-50). The percentage of these cases ascertained by the aggregate data from these 2 methods was 88% (95% CI, 76%-100%), the percentage of cases ascertained by the ICD-9 discharge data alone was 49% (95% CI, 42%-58%), and the percentage ascertained solely by data on pregnant women with syphilis was 77% (95% CI, 66%-91%).
Minnesota's experience with congenital syphilis highlights several issues. First, the diagnostic evaluation and management of newborns at risk for congenital syphilis are variable and lack consistent adherence to standard protocols. The CDC's current surveillance definition of congenital syphilis is highly sensitive and frequently may include asymptomatic infants. In addition, several published protocols9- 13
vary in their definitions of a clinical case of congenital syphilis and their recommendations for evaluation of an infant at risk for congenital syphilis. These case definitions rely heavily on documentation of maternal treatment and maternal serologic status, although such data may not be readily available to the clinician. Furthermore, the interpretation of laboratory results (particularly CSF) used to evaluate these infants is hampered by poorly defined "normal" results for CSF protein and white blood cell count and the frequent occurrence of traumatic lumbar punctures.
This study demonstrates the varied approaches to the evaluation and treatment of newborns at risk for congenital syphilis. Most noncases in this study were evaluated but not treated. Other studies19
have reported more noncases receiving unnecessary treatment. More concerning, however, is the varied evaluation and treatment of probable cases of congenital syphilis in our study, with only slightly more than half receiving adequate evaluation, according to guidelines of the CDC and the American Academy of Pediatrics, and only two thirds of probable cases receiving treatment.9,10 Most nontreated probable cases in our study were not evaluated. It is of concern that none of these newborns was discharged with a diagnosis of congenital syphilis or reported to the MDH congenital syphilis registry, thereby limiting opportunities for follow-up of these high-risk infants.
Consistent case definitions and protocols for the evaluation and treatment of infants at risk for congenital syphilis are necessary. In 1996, Risser and Hwang13 proposed modifying the protocol for evaluation and treatment of asymptomatic infants born to treated mothers whose infection status is uncertain to recommend omitting the CSF and long bone analyses) and treating these infants with 1 injection of penicillin G benzathine. However, it is difficult to definitively identify these infants, and follow-up of such high-risk mothers and infants often is problematic. Glasser20 expressed concerns about such an approach and recommends closely adhering to the CDC guidelines for examining and treating asymptomatic newborns at risk for congenital syphilis.
Aggressive screening and follow-up of pregnant women and women of childbearing age are necessary to reduce the incidence of congenital syphilis. For populations with a high prevalence of syphilis or for high-risk patients, the CDC recommends serologic testing of pregnant women twice during the third trimester, at 28 weeks of gestation, and at delivery.9 Mothers affected with syphilis in this study were demographically similar (eg, urban, single, racial minorities, and insured by the public sector) to those described elsewhere in the literature.21- 23
Despite these known risk factors for syphilis, fewer than half of the mothers in this study were screened for syphilis at delivery, and only 47 (59%) had serologic testing performed in the third trimester. Also, it is of concern that 22% of mothers of probable cases of congenital syphilis in this study were first diagnosed as having syphilis at delivery. At least 5 of the 8 mothers of probable cases diagnosed at delivery had more than 1 prenatal visit and thus presumably represent missed opportunities for maternal syphilis screening and treatment and the prevention of congenital syphilis.
Some states mandate screening for syphilis at delivery for all mothers; however, Minnesota does not require such screening. Although Minnesota has a low incidence of syphilis, endemic disease persists, with higher rates of early syphilis in urban areas. None of the 5 urban hospitals where most mothers in the study gave birth had a formal policy for screening pregnant women at delivery. A prior study14 of physicians' practices and opinions regarding prenatal screening for sexually transmitted diseases found that of a sample of 172 family physicians and obstetricians practicing in Minnesota, only 17 (10%) routinely obtained maternal blood samples for serologic testing for syphilis at delivery. The location (ie, urban vs suburban or rural) of physicians' clinics was not associated with their practices for syphilis screening at delivery.
Improved surveillance is needed in Minnesota to monitor and accurately describe the incidence and epidemiology of syphilis. The sensitivity of the MDH congenital syphilis registry was estimated to be only 39% in this study, suggesting that congenital syphilis may be underreported. A capture-recapture analysis of the completeness of case ascertainment in this study suggests that the case-finding methods used in the study identified 88% of the actual number of probable cases of congenital syphilis or syphilitic stillbirths; approximately 5 cases may have been undetected. The incompleteness of the surveillance data may reflect clinicians' difficulty using congenital syphilis case definitions and/or their lack of familiarity with mandated disease reporting.
Reports to the MDH regarding pregnant women with syphilis was the most sensitive method of identifying probable cases of congenital syphilis, and perhaps expanded prenatal follow-up of these women could alert clinicians to at-risk newborns. However, this method fails to identify women first diagnosed as having syphilis at delivery. These women frequently have high-risk behaviors, such as chemical dependency, prostitution, history of incarceration, and moving from state to state.
Congenital syphilis is a public health and clinical challenge. Vigilant screening for syphilis (especially during pregnancy and delivery) is critical to eliminate congenital syphilis. Clinician adherence to standardized protocols for the evaluation and management of at-risk newborns is essential. However, revised guidelines with consistent definitions and protocols may be needed to assist physicians with this responsibility, particularly in low-incidence areas, where clinicians infrequently face this clinical challenge. Also, public health agencies responsible for disease surveillance may need new surveillance systems and additional resources to assist in the identification and follow-up of newborns at risk for congenital syphilis.

Most Western Colorado voters will have to wait through 20 more weeks of campaigning to vote in a congressional race. But a handful can vote now.
Registered Libertarians � there are just 140 of them in La Plata County � can vote in the June 26 primary between a humorist and an organic farmer, both of whom want to carry the party�s standard in the fall election.
Gregory Gilman is making his second run at the 3rd Congressional District. He was the Libertarian candidate in 2010. Gaylon Kent is the newcomer.
Both face the task of campaigning in one of the country�s largest districts.
�It�s pretty difficult as a Libertarian in a primary, because there�s not that many registered Libertarians across District 3,� Gilman said.
In fact, in May, there were just 1,433 registered Libertarians in the district � about one voter every 35 square miles.
Gilman has not put up a campaign website, and he isn�t doing much to campaign until after the primary is over. But he�s counting on name recognition he built during the last election.
�For me, it�s basically relying on the work I did in 2010,� Gilman said.
Gilman, 50, was born in Greeley. He studied electrical engineering and worked 20 years in research and development in California�s Silicon Valley.
He�s now practicing sustainable farming in Westcliffe, raising apples, peaches and tomatoes. He also harvests pi�on nuts from the trees growing on his property.
�It�s not easy starting from scratch building up the farm,� he said. �It�s a work in progress.�
Gilman�s main issue is to cut back on deficit spending by Congress.
His opponent, Kent, 46, moved to Steamboat Springs last year from Las Vegas. He has had a diverse career that included hotel and casino security and sports officiating, and he was a U.S. Navy sailor aboard a submarine. He now works the front desk at a Steamboat hotel.
He is a writer. He has written three self-published books and writes several columns. His website � gaylonkent.com � bills him as �America�s foremost humorist.�
For Kent, all his political positions � from opposition to the Afghan war to abolition of the death penalty � stem from one premise.
�The purpose of government is to provide for the liberty of its citizens � I�m going to say that ad nauseam,� Kent said.
Both men support the Libertarian Party philosophy of small government and deference to individual liberties, including the right of same-sex couples to marry.
The winner will face incumbent Rep. Scott Tipton, R-Cortez, Democratic challenger Sal Pace, unaffiliated candidate Tisha Casida and write-ins Jaime McMillan and Dale Reed.
Most Libertarian voters in Southwest Colorado should receive a mail ballot. San Juan County�s 11 Libertarians can vote at the polling place June 26.

Australian Ants
Their Biology and Identification
Monographs on Invertebrate Taxonomy Series 3
256 pages
CSIRO Publishing
This book is no longer available in print.
Ants are one of the most influential elements in Australian ecosystems, having a major impact on plant growth and reproduction, and soil structure. They act as predators and competitors of other arthropods, and are an important food source for other animals.
The book provides details on separating genera from those which are superficially similar and those which are commonly confused. The distribution, habitat preferences and general biologies of each genus are discussed, and there is an introduction to the more important research papers investigating each group.
"Australian Ants: Their Biology and Identification is another important step toward bringing ants to the centre of biodiversity and conservation research. The systematic layout of the description of each genus and the well documented key will become the new standard."
Donat Agosti (Systematic Entomology, 24)
"I could find no errors in this publication. . . Shattuck has put together a book which will become the standard text for researchers, enthusiasts and students who wish to understand Australian ant diversity."
David R. Britton, University of New England (The Victorian Naturalist, v.116 no.4 1999)
". . .I would recommend that this book be acquired by entomological libraries. . .as it proves useful general information on ant identification and biology and it features an ant fauna that all ant researchers should come to understand. I would like to recommend the book to individual buyers as well but it is very expensive, which is a pity for a book that is so interesting to read and which is aimed at specialist and non-specialist alike."
H.G. Robertson, Life Sciences Division, South African Museum (African Entomology v.7 no.1 1999)
"Australian Ants is a great introduction to the diverse and fascinating ant fauna of Australia. It is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the ants of Australia. It is the only book with a complete overview of the entire Australian ant fauna, the first to show the known distribution of all known Australian ant genera, and lists all the described species and subspecies of Australian ants. … The use of scanning electron micrographs for each of the genera not only improves the appearance of the book, but illustrates the rich diversity of these amazing organisms in a way that the line drawings of previous books could not. I highly recommend this book."
Derek Smith, Australian Museum (Nature Australia Winter 2000)

The 17-year-old arrested over the death of a homeless man in Auckland will have his name kept secret at least a little while longer despite strong opposition from police and the victim's family.
The teen was initially charged with wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm after the vicious attack on Edwin Linder, 42, who died on August 3, three days after the early morning assault in Mills Lane in the CBD.
Police laid a charge of murder when the teenager appeared via audio-visual link in Auckland District Court this afternoon.
Mr Linder's family, including his mother and brother, were in court during the hearing and were visibly upset.
They held their hands to their faces as they left the court room.
The court was told that the family had badly wanted the accused to lose name suppression, as did the police.
However, the teenager's lawyer Peter Winter said that because the case was being transferred to the High Court it was not in Judge Richard Watson's jurisdiction to lift suppression.
Judge Watson said the only appropriate course was for him to extend the suppression order until the accused appeared in the High Court at Auckland next month.
Further suppression orders prevent publishing other details of the case against the teenager, who was remanded in custody.
Mr Linder's family did not wish to comment outside court.

Ireland head coach Declan Kidney today named three uncapped players in a 29-man squad for his side's upcoming three-match Test series against world champions New Zealand.
Ulster prop Declan Fitzpatrick and hooker Mike Sherry of Munster were included up front while Sherry's teammate winger Simon Zebo was in the backs, alongside Ulster centre Darren Cave, who won two caps on Ireland's north America tour three years ago.
Kidney left four places in the squad vacant - three forwards and one back - as he waits to hear whether several players will recover sufficiently from injury after a gruelling season.
They include a second row slot for Munster lock Paul O'Connell, who is battling back to fitness after a knee operation that ruled him out of the squad to face the Barbarians on May 29.
Leinster centre Brian O'Driscoll makes a return to the squad for the first time since the World Cup and will start as captain for the Tests on June 9, 16 and 23.
He returned from injury on Saturday to lead the Irish province to its third European Cup triumph in the space of four seasons, beating Ulster 42-14 at Twickenham in an all-Irish final.
Kidney told a news conference in Dublin that it was a "fantastic opportunity'' for Fitzpatrick, Sherry and Zebo to play against New Zealand and they had made the side on merit.
He described the upcoming tour as "like three Heineken Cup finals'' and that Ireland had everything to gain from the trip.
"We're eighth (in the world rankings). The gap between Ireland and New Zealand is there and there's nothing to lose... We must perform well,'' he told reporters.
Kidney also said it was important to have the strongest squad possible, which was why he had not named a full squad.
"You don't experiment in matches against New Zealand. It's akin to experimenting in Heineken play-off matches. You need to go for it,'' he added.
Ireland squad:
Rory Best, Sean Cronin, Stephen Ferris, Declan Fitzpatrick, Cian Healy, Jamie Heaslip, Sean O'Brien, Donncha O'Callaghan, Peter O'Mahony, Mike Ross, Donnacha Ryan, Mike Sherry, Dan Tuohy.
Darren Cave, Gordon D'Arcy, Keith Earls, Rob Kearney, Fergus McFadden, Conor Murray, Brian O'Driscoll, Ronan O'Gara, Eoin Reddan, Jonathan Sexton, Andrew Trimble, Simon Zebo

About two hours later, the same man was suspected of punching another victim at 13th and D streets before assaulting two more people at 15th and K streets.
Police said they are aware of the man suspected in the assaults and that they are searching for him in relation to these incidents.
The investigation is ongoing.

Proposal would let Pa. universities exit system
HARRISBURG -- Some Pennsylvania state lawmakers want state-owned universities to be able to leave the 14-member State System of Higher Education and on Tuesday outlined the details of a proposal to allow it.
Sen. Tommy Tomlinson, R-Bucks, a sponsor of the bill, said the schools need more flexibility to cope with enrollment trends and financial pressures. He would permit them to become "state-related" universities, a group that now includes only Penn State, Pitt, Lincoln and Temple.
"I think we have a train wreck coming, financially," Tomlinson said at a Capitol news conference.
Schools that leave the Pennsylvania state university system, one of the nation's largest, would have to pay back the value of their property over 30 years. Opponents said the idea would trigger higher tuition and leave the universities with less oversight and accountability.
"This legislation will funnel taxpayer money to institutions that don't have to answer to the taxpayers," said Steve Hicks, president of the schools' union for teachers and coaches, the Association of Pennsylvania State College and University Faculties. "That may be politics as usual, but it is not in the best interests of our students or the commonwealth."
Tomlinson said he was concerned that without changes, some of the schools will have to close, victims of budget problems and dwindling enrollment.
Schools would be eligible if they have at least 7,000 students, favorable recent audits, the financial ability to pay for the property and will maintain pension payments.
System Chancellor Frank Brogan said the proposal needed to be reviewed for how it might affect students, including the possibility of higher tuition and fees.
"This would create an added burden for students and their families," Brogan said in a release Tuesday. "Every university that leaves the state system could close another door to affordable, quality public higher education."
Brogan told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette last week that the new status could be harder to accomplish than the schools may think and that people may not want to see their tax dollars used that way.
A message seeking comment from the governor's office -- which has proposed flat funding for the state system next year -- was not immediately returned Tuesday.
The state system universities include Bloomsburg, California, Cheyney, Clarion, East Stroudsburg, Edinboro, Indiana, Kutztown, Lock Haven, Mansfield, Millersville, Shippensburg, Slippery Rock and West Chester. It also operates branches in Clearfield, Freeport, Oil City and Punxsutawney and several regional centers, including the Dixon University Center in Harrisburg and PASSHE Center City in Philadelphia.

1996 BMW 3 Series 318is 2dr Coupe
I bought this car 6 years ago with 187k on it. I was a poor college kid at the time and it was a relatively inexpensive car. Well the past 3 years I have driven the heck out of it. An hour commute on the backroads of PA (terrible roads), and an hour commute on highways of MD. I've put 100k on it in those 3 years. I have had to replace a lower control arm, and the heater control unit, so about $500 in parts. The speakers have blown and the radio backlight doesn't show up too well. I nearly get 40 mpg and hammer it on the backroads and never ride slower than 80 mph. Great car! I would love another one.
Agility and 5th gear
With beautiful interior/exterior appearances, this little 1900 cc driven head turner has surprising acceleration and superlative handling prowess. With 315K mileage, my service mechanic always says, "You can't kill these engines," every time I stop by for routine maintenance or inspections. Problem is, however, there have been numerous factory recalls for faulty emission components that have finally caught up to ruin my wistful experiences with this rig. Two (2) bad air sensors and a dysfunctional cam sensor have now put my beamer permanently confined to my driveway, because to repair these at a dealer would cost more than the car is worth unencumbered by these maladies. Dream over.
Tight five-speed manual shifter pattern.

MONTGOMERY, AL. - State Rep. Alvin Holmes sued Thursday to block a controversial $13 million no-bid computer contract to a company that has no business phone listing, fax number, e-mail address or Web site.
Gov. Bob Riley signed the contract last Friday, his chief spokesman, Jeff Emerson, said Thursday.
Holmes, D-Montgomery, chairman of the Legislature's Contract Review Committee, filed the lawsuit on behalf of himself and the committee in Montgomery County Circuit Court.
The complaint asks the court to prohibit the state from spending any money under the contract before a hearing by the court, and to eventually void the contract.
The suit said the contract is "in clear conflict" with the state's competitive bid law, which requires public officials to "conduct competitive processes which are open to all interested and qualified persons and businesses."
Holmes said while Janet Lauderdale, CEO of Paragon Source LLC, was declared a "sole source provider" and not subject to competitive bids, the state Finance Department has given conflicting reasons for that determination.
Emerson called the lawsuit "obviously a total crock."
"This is nothing but political grandstanding by Alvin Holmes and other Democrats to divert the public's attention away from their record of breaking the promises they made to pass tougher accountability and ethics reforms," he said.

Ice Prince & New Boo, Yvonne Nwosu Spotted In Accra!Follow @that1960chick
Gossip Girl here, your one and only source into Nigeria's celebrity gossip. Hahaha
Ladies! It's looking a lot like your favourite Choc City rapper Ice Prince is off the market!
He flew out to Accra with his new boo fashion designer Yvonne Nwosu for Christmas. Yvonne is the lady behind Nigerian label, Vonne Couture.
My sources are telling me that the pair have been quietly seeing each other for a few months now, often spotted together cuddled up and loved up at events around the city.
You will recall that Ice Prince recently introduced us to his 5 month old son Jamal, whom he fathered in August with a 20year old

A Correspondent
Chandpur: An elderly woman on Sunday filed a case with a local court against her two sons and two daughters-in-law on different charges, including torture.
Taking cognisance of the complaint filed by Amena Begum, wife of Malek Gazi of Moushadi village in Sadar upazila, Judge Asim Kumar Dey of the Senior Judicial Magistrate Court summoned the four to appear before it on September 11.
The accused are Amena's sons Sultan Gazi and Sharif Gazi, Sultan's wife Sumi Begum and Sharif's wife Shefali Begum.
As per the case statement, drug addict Sultan and Sharif used to torture their father Malek Gazi, 62, and mother Amena Begum on different excuses in stead of providing money for their livelihood.

See Soundgarden rocking Segways in Dave Grohl-directed music video
Soundgarden is about as serious as rock bands get these days, so its fun to see the Chris Cornell-fronted group loosen up a little bit in the music video for its latest single "By Crooked Steps."
The Dave Grohl-directed video opens with the guys finishing up a poker game and slipping on Crooked Steps biker jackets as they head out into the night. But just when you expect to see them revving their Harleys, a medium shot reveals the guys doing their best tough guy expressions while cruising along on some Segways. »Read Full Blog Post

This is where we join the newest Catfish tale. Miranda tells Nev and Max about how she met the stunning Cameryn online and connected with him over the struggle of having a severely ill family member. After the pair agreed to start a relationship over the Web, Miranda moved out to Los Angeles to meet and be closer to Cameryn. But when she arrived, her man dodged every opportunity to see each other face-to-face.
Miranda smartened up, did a little snooping and found that Cameryn was a phony created by a person in Georgia. When Miranda confronted her supposed suitor with the truth, he tried to deny it, causing the pair to cut off contact. Eventually, "Cameryn" came clean, admitting that he is actually a young Atlanta resident named James. This Cameryn-turned-James character quickly rekindled his relationship with Miranda. Now, our Catfishee is ready to commit to this guy and his new identity, but wants to make sure James is the real deal before she fully forgives and forgets.
Armed with a shield of skepticism and Web surfing know-how the Catfish guys are here to find answers. Read on to see what they discovered; don't worry, we did most of the detective work for you. Check out the "three red flags" that led to "the big reveal," and "the silver lining" that followed. Let's get fishing, shall we?
The Catfish: Cameryn/James, an emotionally understanding dude, who is supposedly ready to be comfortable with himself and commit to another person.
Three Red FlagsAfter hearing James explain the personal reasons (low self-esteem, a need to escape) behind his fake Cameryn account, Miranda is willing to believe this new identity is legit. Having ridden the Catfish carousel several times, Nev and Max are not. Like two overprotective parents, the duo dig into James's account prepared for dead ends that will make Miranda unhappy. Here is what they found:
1. Miranda Still Hasn't Seen James: You would think after being caught red-handed by the one you love, you would be willing to do anything to make it up to them. But love is a funny beast, and Miranda has a habit for falling hard. Even after coming clean to Miranda about his real identity, James is still avoiding any kind of face-to-face communication, and Miranda isn't pushing for it.
2. The Prospects Aren't Promising: From all of Nev and Max's attempts to find James, the folks they turned up don't look great. Of the three people the guys think James might be, none of them match the photos Miranda has and ... one of them is a sex offender. Fantastic.
3. No One Believes James Is Real: Mother knows best, and Miranda's mom is sick of seeing her daughter's heart in shambles. She and the rest of Miranda's friends and family think James is another fake out to hurt Miranda again. The odds are not in this couple's favor.
The Big RevealWith no clear leads, Nev and Max decide to call James using the number Miranda has for him. Serving as the Catfish U.N., Nev convinces a very hesitant James to do the right thing and meet Miranda in Atlanta. The group flies down, and it looks like for the first time in their three-year courtship Miranda and James will connect in the real world. That is, until James stands up the trio. Where is the Southern hospitality? On the day that the lovebirds are supposed to meet, James texts Nev at the last moment with the excuse that his family won't let him leave to meet Miranda. As a compromise, he offers to video chat.
The Silver LiningAt first it appears the only comfort Miranda can take from this whole situation is knowing that she is finally free to move on. Wow, does a month change some people! When Nev and Max check in, both girls are in much better spirits. Gabby reveals that she reached out to Miranda to apologize and now their friendship is more open than ever.
Miranda adds an extra layer of intrigue to the situation, admitting to Nev and Max that she has found herself attracted to Gabby as well. The two have returned to exchanging flirty texts and are planning to meet up in the future. "I feel like people don't have control over who they love, whether it's a girl or a guy," Miranda shares. Going through three different personas proves that. Hopefully, this last one sticks.

Although tuberculosis is still relatively common in Canada, particularly among recent immigrants, one tends not to consider it very strongly in the absence of definite pulmonary symptoms and in the face of negative smears of expectorated sputum and bronchial washings. We present the case of a young immigrant from Ethiopia who presented with mild constitutional symptoms, bony tenderness of the chest wall, generalized lymphadenopathy, and rib erosions—a set of features which, in the face of smear-negative sputum and bronchial washings, raised a possibility of lymphoma. Eventually, diagnosis of tuberculous lymphadenitis and osteomyelitis was established and the patient responded well to appropriate therapy.

British officer whose career in the Middle East included training the National Guard in Saudi Arabia
Nigel Bromage was among a number of British military officers fascinated by Arab societies who chose to make adventurous careers among them. Their lives marked an era of political turbulence and oil-based opulence as Arab states emerged from the shade of imperial tutelage.
Thomas Nigel Bromage was born in Ootacamund, India in 1927, and educated at Ampleforth. He was commissioned into the Grenadier Guards in 1945 and posted to the 3rd Battalion in Palestine, still governed by Britain under League of Nations mandate. His duties included training supernumerary officers for the Palestine police at Ramle, for which he was appointed
