Skip to comments.Scientists confident of SARS link {SARS spread by cockroaches!}
Posted on 04/11/2003 7:10:37 PM PDT by Vigilant1
Evidence of new virus found in stool samples, journal report says
Scientists working to identify the cause of a mysterious respiratory illness that has killed 111 people worldwide are now almost certain that it is associated with a new kind of coronavirus, a family of viruses also responsible for the common cold. One of two groups of scientists whose findings were published online yesterday in separate New England Journal of Medicine articles also said they had found genetic evidence of the virus in some victims' stool samples.
The finding lends support to a previously advanced theory that the virus might spread via cockroaches that have had contact with sewage, said Dr. Peter B. Jahrling, a U.S. Army virologist whose Fort Detrick laboratory is working to find drugs that might be effective against the infection.

LOL! Oh, yuck.
But seriously, I did a search today on the issue of "fecal spray" from public toilets. It was disgusting. Trust me: Save the flushing for last and then run like hell.
Think before you flush or brush
Sarah Tan
One of my friends from high school has made a habit of putting toilet seat lids down before she flushes. She started doing this about four years ago when she heard that when toilets are flushed, water droplets are expelled from the toilet bowl into the air, and when they land, other areas of the bathroom get "contaminated" by toilet water. That always amused me, but when I went over to her house, I humored her and followed this personal rule of hers. However, I didn't knowand chances are, she didn't knowjust how justified she was in worrying about in what is known as the "aerosol effect" in toilets. My discovery that there is actually a technical term for this phenomenon was the first indication that there might be something scientifically legitimate to it. It seems to have first been brought to light by University of Arizona environmental microbiologist Charles Gerba when he published a scientific article in 1975 describing bacterial and viral aerosols due to toilet flushing (2). He conducted tests by placing pieces of gauze in different locations around the bathroom and measuring the bacterial and viral levels on them after a toilet flush, and his results are more than just a little disturbing.
First is the confirmation of the existence of the aerosol effect, even though it is largely unrecognized. "Droplets are going all over the placeit's like the Fourth of July," said Gerba. "One way to see this is to put a dye in the toilet, flush it, and then hold a piece of paper over it" (8). Indeed, Gerba's studies have shown that the water droplets in an invisible cloud travel six to eight feet out and up, so the areas of the bathroom not directly adjacent the toilet are still contaminated. Walls are obviously affected, and in public or communal bathrooms, the partitions between stalls are definitely coated in the spray mist from the toilet (1). Also, toilet paper will be cleanest when it is enclosed in a plastic or metal casing; after all, it's subject to the same droplets splattering on it, and its proximity to the toilet bowl makes contamination potential obvious. The ceiling is also still contaminated and is in fact a potential problem site because it is often overlooked in the cleaning process. Bacteria cling to ceilings and thrive in the humid environment there; if the situation is left untreated for months or years (as is often the case), odors remain in restrooms that seem to have been to be otherwise thoroughly cleaned (1). The bacterial mist has also been shown to stay in the air for at least two hours after each flush, thus maximizing its chance to float around and spread (2). "The greatest aerosol dispersal occurs not during the initial moments of the flush, but rather once most of the water has already left the bowl," according to Philip Tierno, MD, director of clinical microbiology and diagnostic immunology at New York University Medical Center and Mt. Sinai Medical Center. He therefore advises leaving immediately after flushing to not have the microscopic, airborne mist land on you (4). Worse still is the possibility of getting these airborne particles in the lungs by inhaling them, from which one could easily contract a cough or cold (6).
Obviously, the idea of toilet water being unknowingly distributed around the bathroom is less than appealing, but a study of this sort calls for looking in detail at precisely what microscopic organisms we're dealing with here, even if we don't really want to know. Put rather graphically, it can be summed up as the F3 force: Fecal Fountain Factor, compounded by the favorable temperatures for bacterial propagation in room temperature toilet water (3). Using a more scientific viewpoint, streptococcus, staphylococcus, E. coli and shigella bacteria, hepatitis A virus and the common cold virus are all common inhabitants of public bathrooms, but just because they're all over the place doesn't mean we necessarily get sick. After all, humans carry disease-causing organisms on our bodies all the times, but with healthy immune systems, the quantities in which these organisms exist is not enough to affect us, particularly with a good hand-washing after every restroom visit (4). This begs the question, however, of the number of people who actually wash their hands after going to the toilet, and more importantly, the number who wash their hands effectively. Simply rinsing one's hands under running water for a few seconds without soap, as some people do, is not effective at all. The way to ensure maximum standards of hygiene is to lather your palms, the back of your hands, in between fingers, and under fingernails for 20-30 seconds with soap and hot water; the friction will kill off the bathroom bacteria (6).
Toilet seats have actually been determined to be the least infected place in the bathroom because the environment is too dry to support a large bacterial population (7). In accordance with that theory, the underside of the seat has a higher than average microbial population. The place in a restroom with the highest concentration of microbial colonies in restrooms is, surprisingly, the sink, due in part to accumulations of water where these organisms breed freely after landing their aerial journey. While toilets are obviously not sterile environments, they tend to not be as bad as people think because they receive more attention and are cleaned more often. "If an alien came from space and studied the bacterial counts, he probably would conclude he should wash his hands in your toilet and crap in your sink," Gerba said (2). The alien would almost certainly not put your toothbrush in his mouth because, with its traditional, uncovered spot in the bathroom, it is one of the hotspots for fecal bacteria and germs spewed into the air by the aerosol effect (5). Understandably, the toothbrush with toilet water droplets on it is one of the most retold horror stories to emerge from Gerba's report.
There are also greater implications from the study of the aerosol effect than simple grossness factor. Most obviously, bathrooms should be cleaned even more meticulously than before, with emphasis not just on and around the toilet, but equal emphasis on all areas of the bathroom because all areas are equally affected by the spray. Using the right cleaners is important because all-purpose cleaning solutions are not necessarily antibacterial, whereas most cleaners made specifically for restrooms are referred to as disinfectants or germicidal cleaners (1). Given that the sink area teems with bacteria, one must now be more careful about washing hands properly after walking into the bathroom for any non toilet-related purposes like washing your face and brushing teeth. Using a hair dryer can potentially be problematic in regard to bacteria counts because the effect would be largely the same as hot-air hand dryers, which actually increase the bacteria on hands by 162 percent, as opposed to paper towels, which decrease them by 29 percent (7). If you're still not convinced that bacteria exist in any significant quantities on your hands, consider that kitchen sink actually harbors the most fecal matter in the average home, carried there by unwashed hands after using the bathroom (5). A tablespoon of bleach in a cup of warm water on the offending sink will fix the situation... for the day.
To limit the scope of the aerosol effect, the simplest method is to close the lid on the toilet every time before flushing (5). This would also provide the peace of mind that while you are washing your hands for 30 seconds, microscopic, bacteria-laden water droplet will not be descending upon your person. Unfortunately, most public toilets, including the ones in Bryn Mawr's dorms, don't even have lids for that option. Besides, given the large number of people who have used the toilet before you, it probably wouldn't make much difference. After washing your hands, use a paper towel to turn off the faucet and to open the door to leave, in order to avoid being recontaminated (4). And today, get a new toothbrush and always, always keep it in the medicine cabinet or some other enclosed place after use (2).

Okay, now that you've unnerved us with the Fecal Fountain Factor, how do you turn off the water without touching something that has been contaminated? Do we all need to become like Howard Hughes?
This article might be cockroach do-do.
Dave Barry did an essay on this years ago. Haven't let my toothbrush stay on the counter since then. Yuck.
I called the health dept. when I saw them building my tacos with their bare hands. They came out the same day and put the smack down on them. I checked about a week later and they all had the gloves on. The first time the gal was taking money and making tacos with the same unwashed/no glove hands.
"We are increasingly confident we are dealing with a new coronavirus," she said. But she added, "While we've seen evidence of the virus and we've seen evidence of pneumonia, we haven't seen them both in the same tissue."
This suggests the following to me:
1. They've looked at lung tissue affected by SARS pneumonia and haven't found an infection, bacterial or viral.
2. The lung damage may be caused by toxin created elsewhere in the body by the SARS infectious agent.
This (2) isn't unheard of in nature, but at least raises the possibility of genetic engineering as the source of the infectious agent.
Read this whole thread.
More than you ever wanted to know about a whole bunch of things.
You guys can joke about this all you want, but I hope you're not too thick to see what a potent infection vector coackroaches will be for the SARS virus. There have been no SARS deaths in America yet because the most serious cases can be kept alive on respirators. What happens when the infection spreads and we run out of respirators? People start dying. And when the hospital staffs and doctors get infected, there is the potential for a collapse of our health care system.
GW has signed an EO granting martial-law-like powers to the fedgovthugs for quarantene purposes (I understand the necessity for this). When people panic and refuse to obey, those orders will have to be backed up by guns and riot-control methods. I don't think we really grasp what kind of disaster could be unfolding before us.
And thanks to Nita for the toliet aerosol cloud info. I keep a can of Lysol on my toliet; now a squirt goes into the bowl and the lid gets closed before every flush.
|Thanks alot, I already carry hand sanitizers, don't touch railings, public phones (yuk) or use the air blowers in restrooms to dry my hands (they just blow the dirty air back on your hands).
You and me both. I've gotten to where I carry the alcohol gel with me just about everywhere I go.
|So here's one for you to think about. Did you know that bowling balls carry the most fecal matter out of them all?
I've never thought of bowling balls. Wow. That makes a lot of sense. Fecal material gets caught under fingernails rather easily. I know that most hospitals have strict standards now about healthcare workers and fingernails... No false nails. They must be no longer than finger-length. Etc., etc. There is a reason for that.
|And the people at Taco Bell had the nerve to get mad when I told them to forget my order when I saw they didn't wear gloves!
I have to be really hungry to eat at a fast food place anymore. After I saw the Burger King worker come out of the restroom stall after pooping and walking out without washing her hands, that just about did it for me. I just can't think of many things more disgusting than that!
Because I have a teenage child who is always sick because he never washes his hands and has a constant habit of putting his hands up to his face. Research shows that people who do this have a higher rate of catching colds, but since when do teenagers listen to clinical research? Especially from their mothers.
I'm looking for something as gross as possible so maybe he'll listen. :-)
I know now that I just can't go back to my old ways. You've changed my entire life, Amelia.
Thanks again. ;-)
Now, by golly, there is more sage advice in few words than you get in an entire year of the New York Times.
|Okay, now that you've unnerved us with the Fecal Fountain Factor, how do you turn off the water without touching something that has been contaminated? Do we all need to become like Howard Hughes?
|No, but you need to be aware of what you're touching. Turn off the water with a paper towel, or better yet, carry one of those tiny alcohol gel containers. They make them pocket-size now.
And about opening the door to leave: If you're really smart, you'll piddle around until some ignorant sap opens the door for you so you won't have to touch the handle. Think of all the E.coli on that handle from ignorant saps who just wiped and then didn't wash. Yuck.
|Before I could get out of the bathroom I saw glowing specks everywhere in the bathroom from ceiling to floor. Thousands and thousands.
|What a story! That makes me want to experiment with it myself. LOL!
You're kidding, right?
Hell, the environmentalists will be cheering for the cockroaches. As long as they, personally, don't get offed, the average environmentalist has no problems with any disease that kills humans.
Haven't you heard? We are the plague that threatens the "biosphere". We are the source of all that is evil in the universe.
The tree-huggers would rather we all died than resort to nasty chemicals like DDT.
LOL, been there, done that. I thought I was gonna drown.
LOL! No, it's not neurotic. Once you learn about this stuff, it just makes you be more cautious.

Here is my latest preview that i wrote on the upcoming Killzone title.
The sixth iteration of the Killzone series is another game contesting to be among PlayStation 4's day one 'killer apps.'
Once again exclusive to Sony's consoles (what with them having developer Guerrila Games's nuts in a vice and all), this venerable FPS/TPS franchise never quite reached the lofty fame-heights of a Halo or Call of Duty. With Shadowfall, then, Killzone hopes to stride man-tastically into the next-generation horizon, like a huge mech made of furious hatred and technically impressive shooting action. Or something to that effect.
For the uninitiated, the games chronicle the progress of war between the Helghast and the ISA (Interplanetary Strategic Alliance). In this installment, the Helghast's home planet --named, presumably after everyone forgot to take their imagination pills that morning, Helghan-- has been destroyed, but the conflict continues in earnest. Refugees from the stricken homeworld have re-settled on the planet Vekta, separated from the natives by a big ol' security wall. Spotlights, guard dogs, Nazi soldiers shaking their fists, all that sort of thing.
I regularly contribute at xpstar and you can read the rest of my Killzone Shadow Fall Preview there.

Hi DWIL ladies.
I'm Amy on TLC's show "A Conception Story." After years of trying to have a baby, we have a 15 month old miracle via ICSI.
Today, at 14.5 weeks along in miracle pregnancy #2 (also ICSI), we found out our baby is gone. Shocking. My body still thinks I am pregnant, so the baby will be removed via surgery this Thursday. If you pray, we'd appreciate your prayers.
We are in shock and mourning. But we know God has a plan, and we are thankful we even got pregnant with this precious baby since we had been told we'd never have children. The Lord gives, and He takes away. We are thankful He chose to give us this baby even if just for a few months. We will always treasure our ultrasound video of him/her sucking his/her thumb and stretching out teeny little legs.
Thank you all for the support and encouragement lately. I cannot link that since I'm on my phone.

Undergraduate BE Board:Academic events
From OpenWetWare
Undergraduate Specific Seminars
As the undergraduate student board develops, there are plans to phase in specific academic seminars geared toward the undergraduate experience to cover topics such as UROPs, graduate school, and summer internships in industry.
Departmental Seminar Series
Each semester, the Biological Engineering Department invites speakers from around the country to talk at the weekly seminar series. This is a great opportunity to meet professors from other institutions and acquired a broader perspective on the types of research and approaches within the realm of biological engineering.
Industrial Seminar Series
These seminars are organized by the Graduate Student Board and occur once a month. The speakers typically work for biotechnology firms or have a new perspective on biological engineering.
- This term (Fall '07): Have a few grad students attend an informal dinner and speak about their research
- Next term 9Spring '07): Have seniors present their experiences as pioneers in the BE major
- Other possibilities:
- Industry Seminars for Undergrads
- Applying to grad school/med school

Norfolk State? Again?
It will be Marquette-Norfolk State II in the championship game of the Paradise Jam tonight in the Virgin Islands.
If you're wondering why the Golden Eagles are playing Norfolk State again since their game against the Spartans on Nov. 14 at the Bradley Center was also technically a part of the Paradise Jam, you're not alone.
It's because, according to NCAA rules, a team can play up to four games in these multi-team events. But because the Paradise Jam provided teams with three games in the islands, Marquette scheduled a "fourth" Paradise Jam game against Norfolk State on Nov. 14 just to get in an extra game and get players some additional game experience.
NCAA rules require, though, that the additional tournament game has to be against a team in the field and all games in the event have to be played within a 14-day window.
Winthrop and Virginia, two other teams in the Paradise Jam, played on Nov. 15 at Virginia.
The bottom line is that Marquette will take on a familiar opponent in the title game as it defeated Norfolk State a week ago, 99-68. The Spartans defeated Drexel and Texas Christian to advance to the championship game.
"I think they're really good," said coach Buzz Williams. "I think a lot of people probably thought they weren't very good when they came to the Bradley Center but they've proven they're a good team."
Said Marquette's Jae Crowder, "It's not about them, it's about us. We played them and we know what they can do. We have to play the way we know we can play and I'm sure we'll come to play."
Crowder had 25 points, 10 rebounds and four assists in the previous game against Norfolk State and Darius Johnson-Odom added 24 points. The Golden Eagles passed for 26 assists and shot 53.2%.
Crowder led Marquette in its 96-66 victory over Mississippi Sunday with 25 points and seven rebounds.
Coach Buzz Williams said that, beyond Crowder's statistics, the team just played in a better rhythm when Crowder was on the court.
"If you study per possession, our rhythm and how in sync we are on both ends, that typically means that he's in the game," said Williams. "And when he's not (playing) and we play multiple possessions, it's trending as if we're not in sync and that's something that we have to address. Particularly when you're playing multiple games on multiple nights."
Four Golden Eagles scored in double figures against Ole Miss.
"We have a lot of weapons," said Crowder. "That's what can happen."
Tonight's game (7:30 p.m., CST) will be televised by FSN Wisconsin.

Multiple appointments, always wait over 1 1/2 hours, even canceled after waiting that long. She may be great, but awful wait times, and terrible follow up
She is the best Obgyn. She will spend ample time with you and listen to you completely. Most gracious and kind demeanor. Incredibly intelligent.
I was referred to her by my sister in law. I love her. She's very detailed and understanding. She makes her patients feel at ease. She explains things and she's very so much blunt. Her staff is the best. I would most definitely refer others to her. She is the best.
I love doctor Motley and her staff. Her wait times are long but so worth the wait. The comment before mine makes me so upset how she would write what she did. She spends so much time with me and I have learned to be patient on waiting becuse she is spending time with the patient before me and will do the same for me so I know its worth the wait. She is delieverying my 3rd baby! Her whole staff is amazing and with the insurance comment, I know I am the one who suppose to be educating myself and not depend of the office staff to teach me what I signed up for.
Dr. Motley is a wonderful OB. She will never rush you and she answers any and all questions you may have. However, that leads to insane wait times. I typically wait about an hour and a half, and a few times have waited over 3 hours. My biggest issue with this practice is their office. At least two times the ultrasound techs have asked me why I needed an ultrasound- I feel the nurses or my chart should have that information. A few times the nurses have thought I needed an ultrasound when I had already had them. Just very unorganized. The office staff also is not helpful at all when trying to get billing or insurance information. I'm currently trying to determine what insurance they accept next year and after weeks of asking through the portal and calling the office directly I still don't have that information. They did tell me one insurance was accepted, but when I asked that insurance company they told me they did not cover Motley. Misinformation seems rampant. Basically, love the doctor, but hate the practice. I can't in good conscious recommend her.
Dr. Motley is the most amazing, kind gynecologist ever. She really listens to what you are saying and will do everything in her power to figure out what is going on. Dr. Motley accurately diagnosed my multiple conditions in 3 months whereas my former gynecologist spent 2 years and multiple medications and nothing worked. I'm now on the correct medication and I can not tell you how much better my life is because of Dr. Motley. My only complaint is the wait time after your scheduled appt., and the front office staff. When I have an appt. with Dr. Motley, I wait at least 2 hours after my appt. time, this last appt., I waited 4 hours. The front office staff is NOT friendly or helpful at all. I feel like another number to them.
She is wonderful. She is caring and a gentle Dr. I had 2 C-section who Dr. Motley did the procedure. I do recommend anybody if your looking for a good OB GYN she is the one. I highly recommend anybody. She is worth the wait.
You may waited a long time but the visit is always wroth the wait aweson Doctor
Had both my sons with her and only the best experience. Wait time is long
Dr. Motley is the best OBGYN I have ever been to and I would recommend her to EVERYONE. She makes you feel like you are the only person in the world and remembers EVERYTHING you tell her between visits!! She takes time with you and makes sure EVERY possible question you could ever have is answered and answered well. I recently moved to Texas and found out I was pregnant in the ER one night. The ER doc gave me a list of 3 drs within my insurance network that he recommended.. the first one I called was not accepting new patients and was quite rude... Next on my list was Dr Motley and I can not state how thankful I am now that that first dr was NOT accepting new pts. The only negative thing I can say about this is the wait time.. sometimes you can get in and out in a 'normal dr apt time' but most of the time you can plan to be there for 3 and sometimes even 4 hours. BUT even with that being said... the reason is totally justified, she does not run out in the middle of a question or rush you like so many other docs will do and in turn if some one has a lot of questions it will put her behind... you can't blame that if sometimes it may be YOU needing those 'extra' questions answered!!! I read the reviews before I made my appointment and some people talked about the wait and just like me in the same sentence I will say I don't care about the wait now after one time of meeting her! I now have a 3 month old son that she delivered and will continue using her as my regular OBGYN for the years to come!!! She is a wonderful person and is a WONDERFUL doctor!!!
Dr. Motley is the sweetest, most caring Dr. I've EVER had! She gives her patients the time and attention they need and she truly CARES about you! I love her and trust her very much. You have to wait a while to see her... But she is WORTH THE WAIT! She will never rush you out of the office. I would recommend her to anyone that wants a Dr. that cares and takes the time to make sure you understand what you are going through, and what to expect. She is amazing. <3
Dr. Motley is Awesome!! The best bed side manners I have ever experienced. I was in labor 3 monthes early, and she definitely helped ease myself and my family through our trying time.
I love, love, love Dr. Motley. The only thing that I can think of bad to say is that you will have a wait when you see her. I chalk it up to her bedside manner. She never makes you feel rushed, and she doesn't have a problem with sitting down to talk to you.
Dr. Motley is wonderful. I am older and have had several different gynocologists through the years, but have never had one as gentle and caring as Dr. Motley. She is thorough while she is with you and follows up after your appointment.
If you're looking for a baby doctor or any other Gynecological doctor, this is your doctor! She's the best, most caring, loving, funny, and experienced doctor I've ever been blessed to see. I will never use another doctor. She will make you feel like you are part of her life and she really cares!! She delivered my baby and made everything easy and comfortable. I cannot say enough about how wonderful she is. Please go see her if you need this kind of doctor services.
Dr. Motley is wonderful. She is so gentle, caring and thorough.
Dr.Motley has been my obgyn for about 4 years now. I just recently had my first baby in which she delivered. I got really sick during my pregnancy (pre-clampsia) and she took exceptional care of me. The reason for such a long wait at her office is bc she spends quality time with each and every patient and does not rush them out of her office. Waiting can be irritating sometimes but with Dr.Motley it is completely understandable and worth it. I highly recommend her and I will continue to stay with her from many years to come!
I was so blessed to have Dr. Jennifer Motley as my doctor!
Dr. Motley is the best ob/gyn I've ever had. She has that rare quality of really caring about people. I recently had surgery from her and it was an excellent experience overall. I went in knowing exactly what to expect during and afterwards. She is awesome!
Dr. Motely is an incredible caring doctor. She has gone the extra mile to help me find solutions to my very rare complicated problem. She has made me so comfortable and I feel like she really listens and cares about me!

This Saturday in Billings
We all know that every town has its bars and those bars attract specific kinds of people. It's not rude... It's just true! There are so many different bars here in Billings so I had to enlist the help of some of my coworkers and I believe we have come up with pure gold...
I'm not here to be mean to this particular place of business. I've actually bought stuff from them and I found them to be nice people. However, if Billings had an "Ugliest Place In The City Award", I think they'd have a pretty good shot at it...

HOUSTON (AP) - The second of three capital murder suspects accused in last year's dragging death of a black man is set to stand trial May 3.
But just where Lawrence Russell Brewer's trial will take place is uncertain.
Brewer, 31, is accused of kidnapping and killing James Byrd Jr. on June 7. Byrd's decapitated body was found strewn along Huff Creek Road after being dragged from a pickup for nearly three miles. His head was torn from his torso by a concrete culvert.
Prosecutor Guy James Gray wants to have Brewer and a third defendant, 24-year-old Shawn Allen Berry, tried in Jasper. Brewer's defense attorney, Doug Barlow, wants to move his client's trial, arguing that pre-trial news coverage and Jasper County's small jury pool will work against his case.
Jasper County, 140 miles northeast of Houston, has about 34,000 residents. About 8,000 people live in the county seat of Jasper.
John William King, one of Brewer's two co-defendants, was sentenced to death Feb. 25. Berry has yet to be tried.
The crime's horrific nature has lured reporters from around the world. Byrd, who had accepted a ride in Berry's pickup truck, was taken to a wooded area where he was beaten and chained to the back of the vehicle.
He was dragged for nearly three miles and, according to testimony during King's trial, was alive for at least two of those. He died as soon as his head and right arm were ripped from his torso.
A hearing on Barlow's request is scheduled for March 25 before state District Judge Monte Lawlis.
"I think we can have it here," said Gray, who expects between 400 and 500 county residents to be called for jury selection in Brewer's trial.
Brewer, 31, met King while the two were in prison. Both were members of the Confederate Knights of America, a small racist prison gang.
After Brewer was released in 1998, he came to Jasper about three weeks before Byrd's murder and worked construction jobs with King.

Militants attack Pakistan prison, free 250 inmates
By Ishtiq Mashud | AP - DERA ISMAIL KHAN
Published: 30th July 2013 08:43 AM
Last Updated: 30th July 2013 12:46 PM
Dozens of Taliban militants armed with guns, grenades and bombs attacked a prison in northwest Pakistan, freeing more than 250 prisoners, including 25 "dangerous terrorists," officials said.
The militants killed six policemen, six Shiite Muslim prisoners and two civilians during Monday night's attack in the town of Dera Ismail Khan, said the town's commissioner, Mushtaq Jadoon. One of the Shiites was beheaded.
Fifteen policemen were wounded, said Jadoon.
Around 70 militants arrived at the prison by car and motorcycle at around 11:30 p.m. to begin the attack, which lasted for about four and a half hours until most of the fighters escaped, said intelligence officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media.
The attack began with a huge explosion that one resident, Sharafat Khan, said was so loud that "it rattled every house in the neighborhood."
The militants then detonated dozens of smaller bombs at different points along the prison walls, causing them to collapse, said Jadoon. They also fired rocket-propelled grenades and lobbed hand grenades during the attack, he said.
Security forces engaged the attackers, who were chanting "God is great" and "Long live the Taliban," intelligence officials said. At least eight attackers disguised in police uniforms entered the prison on motorcycles adorned with Taliban flags and used megaphones to call out the names of specific prisoners for whom they were looking.
The militants broke open the cells and freed 253 prisoners, including 25 "dangerous terrorists," said Jadoon.
Pakistani Taliban spokesman Shahidullah Shahid claimed responsibility for the attack, saying 150 militants took part and around 300 prisoners were freed. Eight of the attackers wore suicide vests, and two detonated their explosives, Shahid told The Associated Press by telephone from an undisclosed location.
Authorities captured nine prisoners who escaped and were searching for the others, as well as the militants, said Jadoon. Army soldiers were called in as reinforcements.
A curfew has been imposed in Dera Ismail Khan and the nearby town of Tank while the search goes on, said Amir Khattak, Dera Ismail Khan's deputy commissioner. The town is located near Pakistan's semiautonomous tribal region, the main sanctuary for Taliban and al-Qaida militants in the country.
Officials received a letter threatening an attack on the prison, but they didn't expect it so soon, said Khalid Abbas, head of the prison department in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.
In April 2012, Taliban militants armed with automatic weapons and rocket-propelled grenades battled their way into a prison in the city of Bannu in northwest Pakistan, freeing close to 400 prisoners, including at least 20 described by police as "very dangerous" insurgents.
One of the militants freed in that attack, Adnan Rasheed, recently gained attention by writing a letter to teenage education activist Malala Yousafzai, who was shot in the head by the Taliban last year in an attempt to kill her. Rasheed said he wished the attack hadn't happened, but told Malala that she was targeted for speaking ill of the Taliban.

text: Magdel-Marie Mosselbay, International 1/27/2015 12:25:05 AM Matt, if you feed the correct amount of garlic, it is highly beneficial. It can even get rid of parasites like giardia. Any trace element or mineral or vitamin given in excess can kill or be of negative value to your dog. I would certainly not use bread. I would go with the buckwheat or qunoa. Even chia seeds in small amounts can greatly benefit your pet. Too much will cause constipation. The garlic must be fresh and left to stand for 5 min before adding it to the food. This allows the health-promoting allicin to form, so it's worth the wait. 1/2 a clove for 10lb +.I do know feeding garlic is a controversial subject, but there are many pharmaceutical products over the counter available for pets with horrible side effects and even death! So garlic is actually the least of a pet owner's worries!Greetings from South Africa.

HARRISBURG - For eight years he was No. 2 in the kitchen at the Governor's Mansion, preparing veal scaloppine, pecan-crusted salmon, and other fine foods for Gov. Ed Rendell, his wife, Marjorie, and visiting dignitaries like Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Now, sous chef Michael Yancey is charged with pilfering the mansion's cutlery drawers and trying to pawn silver place settings worth tens of thousands of dollars.
State police said Yancey, 28, stole at least 100 pieces of sterling silver and tried to sell most of it at a pawn shop in Lebanon, after first attempting to scrape off markings declaring the items property of the "Executive Mansion."

The following case study is presented with the hope that it may illustrate how a regard for the opening pyloric reflexes may serve us in the medical cure of pyloric stenosis and pyloric spasm in young infants.
Methods used in the treatment of the present case are in no way new. It has been known for a long time that lavage and the antacids have been useful and effective in the treatment of these conditions and the explanation for their beneficial effects have been well interpreted. There are, however, a few principles which may be said to be comparatively new which are not generally considered and which make the interpretation of our previous success with these methods still more clear. These are the factors which govern the opening and closing of the pylorus. While we have no definite comparative experiments to prove it, it might well be argued on clinical

This was very easy to prepare. I made it 1 month before Christmas and gave some for gifts... One recipient has asked for the recipe and husband loves it...which means an extra star as he has been eating the same old bought chutney for years.
I followed this recipe as it's written and found it very easy to make. The quantities made 4 jars and I havn't been able to resist opening the first already (after only a week!). It's delicious and a very good way of using up old bananas.
Very good chutney! I'm very pleased with the results! Waiting 1 or 2 months to dig in was impossible to do, and I found it delicious immediately. I made some jars up a month ago now (yielded about 4 cups)and it's just getting better. I used half dried dates and half dried figs and I love the figs in this mix! An easy chutney to make too. I love it and will make again, thank you!

Rooting for Harry Lime: 'The Third Man' As Morally Ambiguous Heterotopia

Picture: David Beckham The 12th Annual Teen Choice Awards 2010 held at the Universal Gibson Ampitheatre - Press Room Los Angeles, California - 08.08.10
Soccer superstar David Beckham is taking aim at a former hooker who boasted of bedding him - he's hired a global team of top lawyers and plans to hit her with a writ for $7.5 million (£5 million).
The British sports ace was rocked earlier this week (beg20Sep10) when Irma Nici, 26, told a U.S. magazine she met Beckham twice when he hired her services in 2007.
He immediately denied the allegations and vowed to launch legal action - and within hours he put together a task force of high-ranking lawyers in the U.S. and Europe to sue for damages.
Beckham has ordered the legal team to track down Nici - who has not been seen in public since the scandal broke on Wednesday (22Sep10) - and serve her with a $7.5 million writ.
Friends of the Los Angeles Galaxy star are adamant he can easily destroy Nici's account as he has proof he was not staying at the Le Parker Meridien hotel in Manhattan, New York on the night she claims he paid her for sex in his suite.
A source tells British newspaper The Sun, "David can prove he wasn't there. She cannot prove he was... David is prepared to scour the Earth for this woman, who seems to think she could make up a complete fantasy that is extremely hurtful to him and his family.
"She has treated his wife and children with such disregard he is not prepared to let this one go. He wants everyone held accountable. The magazine, the publishers, and the hooker."

Officials rescue three lost hikersMarch 10,2014Officials rescue
three lost hikers
SOMERSET Vermont State Police say three hikers were rescued Saturday night from the East Branch Trail in Somerset.
The rescue efforts began after police received a 911 call at about 4 p.m. Saturday from a hiker who said she got separated from her three companions. She said the three had not made it back to their meeting point at the Somerset Reservoir.
Police said the three lost hikers were all over the age of 70 and were not familiar with the densely wooded trail in the Green Mountain National Forest. Police added that the lost hikers did not have snowshoes and were also not equipped to be in the woods overnight.
Rescuers from the Wilmington Fire Department and Deerfield Valley Rescue located the hikers at about 6:30 p.m. Saturday and escorted them 2.5 miles down the trail, reaching the trailhead at about 10 p.m.

Skills, a greener economy and the 3 'R'sComments Email
I attended the Associate Parliamentary Sustainable Resource Group's (ASPRG) forum on sustainable skills in the waste management sector in Westminster yesterday.
"You know how to live!" I hear you cry.
Well, it was actually rather interesting. While only briefly touching on the plastics side of things there were some keenly-expressed views being expressed on how to attract people – particularly young people – into the waste management sector, which after all includes our favourite material, after a fashion.
The waste management industry could start, suggested one speaker, by calling itself 'sustainable resource management', since this was a more positive way of looking at it, although one industry type pointed out that the minefield surrounding the licensing of re-processing what is legally defined 'waste' would put a kybosh on any of that high-falutin' shenanigans.
One theme regularly visited by a number of the commentators was the need for designers to 'design out' waste from new products. Chris Pook from the Department of Business, Innovation and Skills told the story of one aspiring design student who'd reached an impasse, believing there "nothing left to design anymore".
It was suggested to him that he tried to find ways of creating products that relied on fewer resources and lo, he re-discovered his design mojo and saw in existing products better ones waiting to emerge.
Another speaker, Neil Robertson of Energy and Utility Skills, highlighted the bizarre situation where it took one person to oversee a mass of waste material be consigned to a hole in the ground, yet it took 15 people to take part in its reprocessing.
Green credentials and job creation in one fell swoop? You might say that.
The need for skills was obvious, speakers agreed, but exactly what skills were required and how they should be brought about remained an area of contention for some. Skills were also only a part of the equation in a green economy, it was suggested.
There were also calls for universities to be helped in driving demand for appropriate courses that would lead to better skill-sets in recycling and waste sectors – a call familiar to many in the plastics sector, I suspect.
Liz Green of WRAP called for serious consideration of the sort of skills that employers wanted and how such skills were subsequently applied.
All good stuff.
I was however thoroughly depressed by one statistic rolled out at the event; 25% of children apparently leave full-time education "without the basics", eg, basic literary and numeracy skills.
Perhaps once society has cracked that particular nut then the issue of skills further up the food chain will have a better chance of being addressed. Just a thought...

For Women Who Want The Ballerific Life!
Disclaimer: Baller Mails are submitted by our readers. We can not confirm 100% accuracy of any story posted.
I know these Ballers were out here out of control but I didn't know to what extent. According to one of our Baller Alert readers, Raymond Felton currently of the Portland Trailblazers has racked up quite a bill...and you'll never guess for what.
Raymond Felton, who reportedly has a son isn't looking to have any more kids any time soon. Word from our source is that he is very loose with the peen and has paid an excess of $20,000 in abortions. Although he's a "nice" guy, he does sleep with a lot of women raw. Remember ladies, babies aren't the only thing you can catch during sex. $20k isn't much on your AIDS treatments, wrap it up!

For some Erie students, summer means school
The early mornings. The quizzes. The hours spent sitting at a desk instead of in the sun.
Jaden Ocasio knows he's to blame for it all.
"It was a 'me' thing," said Ocasio, 18, who will be a senior at Erie's East High School. "I wasn't motivated to do work. But now I regret it. I've got to catch back up."
Stores have already started getting their back to school displays ready.
But for Ocasio and nearly 30 other East High students, summer -- no wake-up calls, days spent lounging at the beach or playing video games -- never truly got started.
The group of rising sophomores, juniors and seniors spends three hours every weekday taking part in the school's voluntary hybrid summer school program. From 9 a.m. to noon, they sit in Leigh Lutz's classroom, hunched over school-supplied laptops, working their way through lessons on geometry, chemistry, English and any other subject they failed during the school year.
The program runs until Aug. 2.
All are there because they've fallen behind and need to get back on track to earn enough credits to graduate on time. Using software called Apex Learning, they work through lessons, quizzes and tests at their own pace both at East under Lutz's guidance and online at home, if they have Internet access.
Another group, 12 seniors who should have graduated in June but didn't because they fell short of the 22 credits required, works solely from home.
Central Career and Technical School and Strong Vincent High School offered similar programs.
East Principal Jim Smith said some students don't understand they need a certain number of credits to graduate and aren't prepared for the demands of high school.
"It's a different mentality in high school," Smith said. "You go from a younger kid environment to the big leagues. The classes are rigorous."
The summer school time frame alone is tough: a year of content compressed into four weeks. And then there's the cost to the family or student of $60 per class.
Earlier this week, Tierra Fleming, who will be a senior, worked through two classes, English and geometry.
"It was too hard," Fleming said of not passing the latter during the school year. "I didn't get it."
And English? Too many distractions in class, people talking.
"I start laughing, time flies, the bell rings and I didn't do anything," she said.
The result: summers spent in class instead of swimming or shopping with friends.
"I hate it," Fleming said. "I'm supposed to be sleeping in, not waking up early. It's not like I can go out of town because I have school."
She's driven now by the need to graduate on time.
"That's what I keep telling myself every day when I wake up, 'You can do it, you can do it,'" she said.
When Ocasio learned he had failed two classes, he thought, "My mom's going to spaz."
Ocasio's mother made him pay for both classes with the money he earns from two jobs. The software took some getting used to, he said, but it's easy now.
"Now it's just a matter of me staying focused for the full three hours," he said.
His mindset has changed, he said. He's thinking about college.
"I already did three years," he said. "Why not go hard, finish high school and move on to the next chapter?"
