The groundbreaking design of an underground car park by Royal HaskoningDHV in Katwijk aan Zee has won the Infrastructure Award 2016 given by the World Architecture News (WAN).
Royal HaskoningDHV UK Ltd, in consortium with Hyundai Engineering & Construction Co., Ltd., has been selected to perform the Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) for the infrastructure of a world-class and globally competitive maritime yard in Ras Al-Khair in Saudi Arabia.
Royal HaskoningDHV believes the number of fully electric cars on the road is far below what it should be. The engineering and consulting firm is to boost figures with a Dutch pilot involving 26 cars that will result in a fully electric fleet of over 625 leased cars in the Netherlands. The pilot alone is expected to save 100 tonnes of CO2 per year.

In considering issues of political economy today, it is always prudent to refer to wisdom from the past. The American Enterprise Institute's recent publication "Economic Freedom and Human Flourishing: Perspectives from Political Philosophy" is a collection of essays that analyzes the thought of several prominent philosophers on the connection between the title's two subjects. Many of the quotes below, pulled from six of the nine essays, challenge foundational aspects of classical liberalism and the value of the free market. As Yuval Levin comments at the end of his essay on Edmund Burke, markets can enable human flourishing, but they do not do so perfectly, "And it is precisely the friends of markets who should be most willing to acknowledge that, and to seek for ways to address it…for the sake of liberty and human flourishing." (more…)
Acton's director of research, Samuel Gregg, is looking ahead to a post-Obama economy. He notes that every presidency has problems it leaves behind upon exiting the White House, but we have some major economic and moral obstacles to overcome.
Gregg outlines the challenges: mounting debt, entitlement programs that keep growing, crony capitalism, unemployment. What to do?
Doing nothing isn't an option for American conservatives. I'd suggest, however, that the incremental approach generally followed by conservatives—which often amounts to trying to adjust, rather than override or completely dispense with, policies enacted by progressives—isn't going to be enough either. Conservatives are instinctively wary of major upheavals. Yet if they really believe that progressive economic policies are seriously damaging the common good, they should perhaps do what progressives do: implement fundamental changes.
"Three recent events have made me reflect on a certain theme that should be of interest to religious-minded advocates of the free society," says Kishore Jayabalan in this week's Acton Commentary.
The three events were: 1) an interview I gave to an Italian online publication in response to a French professor who claims that capitalism is the root cause of gender theory and other cultural and social revolutions associated with liberalism; 2) a talk given by a German professor on "liberalism as an attitude" at the European Students for Liberty conference in Berlin last month; and 3) the controversy caused by the upcoming papal encyclical on human ecology.
Now, I realize that the term "liberal" can mean many things, but let's assume that it describes those who, when considering political, social and economic questions, give greater priority to individual freedom than to other goods such as equality, tradition or order. Liberty need not be the only consideration, but it tends to be the dominant one. There are right-wing, moderate and left-wing liberals who disagree on different issues and may prefer another good in a particular instance but none of them question the good of liberty as such.
The full text of the essay can be found here. Subscribe to the free, weekly Acton News & Commentary and other publications here.
In discussions of political issues, the American public is too often described in a binary format: Left/Right, Republican/Democrat, Red State/Blue State. But a new survey by the Pew Research Center takes a more granular look at our current political typology by sorting voters into cohesive groups based on their attitudes and values:
Partisan polarization – the vast and growing gap between Republicans and Democrats – is a defining feature of politics today. But beyond the ideological wings, which make up a minority of the public, the political landscape includes a center that is large and diverse, unified by frustration with politics and little else. As a result, both parties face formidable challenges in reaching beyond their bases to appeal to the middle of the electorate and build sustainable coalitions.
The new typology has eight groups: Steadfast Conservatives, Business Conservatives, Solid Liberals, Young Outsiders, Hard-Pressed Skeptics, Next Generation Left, Faith and Family Left, and Bystanders. (See addendum below for descriptions of each group.)
Pew Research's most recent report uses cluster analysis to sort people into these eight groups based on their responses to 23 questions covering an array of political attitudes and values. Here are a few of the interesting highlights from the report:
Who is the biggest enemy of the free market system? The late Milton Friedman, one of the 20th century's most prominent free market champions, had a surprising answer: the business community.
Economist Arnold Kling explains why support for markets and business are not the same thing:
"With every passing year, and each new EU bailout, Europeans seem to be forgetting where they came from," writes journalist David Aikman in a new review of Becoming Europe: Economic Decline, Culture, and How America Can Avoid a European Future. In The Weekly Standard, Aikman commends Acton Research Director Samuel Gregg's book for showing how the long post-war project designed to advance European integration, economic security and social welfare has in fact degenerated into government dependency and bureaucratic bloat. The former Time magazine senior correspondent and bestselling author also applauds Gregg for reminding us that Marxist inspired "redistributionism" is really the core problem. Excerpt from the review:
The idea of a European federal superstate as an economic and political entity was never far from the minds of Europe's key founders. Democratic capitalism was to be the main economic engine of that entity. But as Samuel Gregg points out in this cogently argued study—which frequently refers to Alexis de Tocqueville—whereas the American federal experiment emphasized economic and political freedom as the prerequisites for social prosperity and "human flourishing," Europe's postwar program was heavily influenced by social democracy. The goal became economic security for everyone, an idea that required labor-union political power and large bureaucracies to administer the welfare state.
Gregg correctly reminds us that behind social democracy's stress on fair economic outcomes for Europe's population lay the fundamental Marxist principle of redistributionism. He certainly does not attribute the European Union's recent woes to the influence of Marxism, but he assembles a variety of ingredients that add up to what he calls "social Europe," a social-welfare coterie of EU countries in which general prosperity has declined as economic freedoms have been whittled down. (more…)
From Main Currents of Marxism by Leszek Kolakowski (1927-2009):Marx took over the romantic ideal of social unity, and Communism realized it in the only way feasible in an industrial society, namely, by a despotic system of government. The origin of this dream is to be found in the idealized image of the Greek city-state popularized by Winckelmann and others in the eighteenth century and subsequently taken up by German philosophers. Marx seems to have imagined that once capitalists were done away with the whole world could become a kind of Athenian agora: one had only to forbid private ownership of machines or land and, as if by magic, human beings would cease to be selfish and their interests would coincide in perfect harmony. Marxism affords no explanation of how this prophecy is founded, or what reason there is to think that human interests will cease to conflict as soon as the means of production are nationalized.

They Don't Build Democracies Like They Used To
Posted on Mar 29, 2010
Iraq's recent election was supposed to remove Nouri al-Maliki from power, but the prime minister, sounding rather like a Bond villain, declared "the game is still very much on." Now a governmental commission created to keep Baathists out of public life says that on the night before the election it banned six candidates who went on to win.
Guess that's what happens when George W. Bush, that model of a participant in free and fair elections, is your liberator and sponsor. —PZS

Imagine learning your unborn child has Down syndrome. Knowing how to cope and where to turn can be overwhelming while still trying to come to terms with the diagnosis. But a Down syndrome organization in Italy wants parents to know it's not all bad. They put together this video to reassure a woman expecting a baby who was diagnosed with Down syndrome.
The video, created for CoorDown, Italy's National Coordination of Associations of People With Down Syndrome, begins with these words across the screen: "On the 9th of February, we received this email from a future mom. "I'm expecting a baby. I've discovered he has Down syndrome. I'm scared: What kind of life will my child have?' Today we reply to her like this."
The touching ad features fifteen people with Down syndrome reassuring the mom that her child will lead a meaningful life. The ad isn't all sunshine, as some offer realistic advice such as, "Sometimes it will be very difficult" but one young man astutely points out, "Isn't it like that for all mothers?"
Yup. Sure is.
What a beautiful video with an even sweeter message.
World Down Syndrome Day is on March 21. You can participate by sharing the video. It's being shared on social media with the hashtag #DearFutureMom and already has more than 1.3 million views on YouTube since it was posted last week.

A married Ohio couple has been arrested and will be charged with murder in the death of a 52-year-old Ypsilanti man reported missing last month, multiple media outlets report.
Robert D. Strauss and Desirae Strauss, both 36, are being held in an Indiana jail on unrelated charges, but police believe the couple killed Brian Martin in Toldeo, the Blade reports.
Martin's body has not yet been recovered, according to the report.
An ABC outlet in Ohio reports police believe Martin was killed in Toledo and dropped off somewhere between Toledo and Indiana.
Martin was last seen coaching a softball game in Holland, Ohio on June 22. His debit card was used on the same day at a Del Taco in Toledo. He was due in Louisville, Ky., later that day, but never showed up.
According to the police, Martin had been carrying on a relationship with a married woman for about three years. The two were seen talking to each other at 12:30 p.m. June 22.
The Ann Arbor News could not immediately confirm Desirae Strauss was the married woman.
Jail records indicate Robert Strauss is being held on $80,000 bond. Desirae Strauss did not have a bond listed. The charges were not listed on the jail's website.
Toledo police and Madison County law enforcement officials did not immediately return calls.
This story will be updated as more information becomes available.

Tuberculosis Special Section
Universal Genotyping in Tuberculosis Control Program, New York City, 2001–2003
PDF Version [PDF - 129 KB - 6 pages]
C. M. Clark et al.View SummaryView Abstract
Real-time universal genotyping decreased unnecessary treatment.
In 2001, New York City implemented genotyping to its tuberculosis (TB) control activities by using IS6110 restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) and spoligotyping to type isolates from culture-positive TB patients. Results are used to identify previously unknown links among genotypically clustered patients, unidentified sites of transmission, and potential false-positive cultures. From 2001 to 2003, spoligotype and IS6110-based RFLP results were obtained for 90.7% of eligible and 93.7% of submitted isolates. Fifty-nine (2.4%) of 2,437 patient isolates had false-positive culture results, and 205 genotype clusters were identified, with 2–81 cases per cluster. Cluster investigations yielded 57 additional links and 17 additional sites of transmission. Four additional TB cases were identified as a result of case finding initiated through cluster investigations. Length of unnecessary treatment decreased among patients with false-positive cultures.
Tuberculin Skin Testing in Children
PDF Version [PDF - 62 KB - 2 pages]
M. Reznik and P. O. OzuahView SummaryView Abstract
Skin testing is recommended for children at risk for this disease.
In 1996, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommended targeted tuberculin skin testing (TST) of children while discouraging routine TST of children without risk factors for tuberculosis (TB). Recent studies have provided evidence in support of the targeted TST and recommendations that favor risk assessment over universal screening with TST. While evidence for targeted TB testing exists and benefits of screening programs are clear, administrative logistics could be a greater issue. The challenge for public health and school officials is to develop a screening program that avoids stigmatization of the at-risk group. Until then, pediatric healthcare providers will continue to have a key role in identifying children at risk for latent TB infection by using the AAP-endorsed risk-assessment questionnaire and should screen children with TST only when >1 risk factor is present.
Tuberculosis Transmission Attributable to Close Contacts and HIV Status, Malawi
PDF Version [PDF - 188 KB - 7 pages]
A. C. Crampin et al.View SummaryView Abstract
In this population, ≈90% of M. tuberculosis infections were transmitted by casual contact, and nearly half from HIV-positive patients.
We conducted the first molecular study of tuberculosis (TB) to estimate the role of household contact and transmission from HIV-positive putative source contacts (PSCs) in a high HIV-prevalence area. TB patients in a long-term population-based study in Malawi were asked about past contact with TB. DNA fingerprinting was used to define clusters of cases with identical strains. Among 143 epidemiologically defined PSC-case pairs, fingerprinting confirmed transmission for 44% of household and family contacts and 18% of other contacts. Transmission was less likely to be confirmed if the PSC were HIV positive than if he or she was HIV negative (odds ratio 0.32, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.14–0.74). Overall, epidemiologic links were found for 11% of 754 fingerprint-clustered cases. We estimate that 9%–13% of TB cases were attributable to recent transmission from identifiable close contacts and that nearly half of the TB cases arising from recent infection had acquired the infection from HIV-positive patients.
Beijing/W Genotype Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Drug Resistance
PDF Version [PDF - 228 KB - 8 pages]
View SummaryView Abstract
The genotype, endemic in some areas and emerging in others, may be associated with drug-resistance.
Beijing/W genotype Mycobacterium tuberculosis is widespread, may be increasing, and may have a predilection for drug resistance. Individual-level data on >29,000 patients from 49 studies in 35 countries were combined to assess the Beijing genotype's prevalence worldwide, trends over time and with age, and associations with drug resistance. We found 4 patterns for Beijing/W genotype tuberculosis (TB): 1) endemic, not associated with drug resistance (high level in most of East Asia, lower level in parts of the United States); 2) epidemic, associated with drug resistance (high level in Cuba, the former Soviet Union, Vietnam, and South Africa, lower level in parts of Western Europe); 3) epidemic but drug sensitive (Malawi, Argentina); and 4) very low level or absent (parts of Europe, Africa). This study confirms that Beijing/W genotype TB is an emerging pathogen in several areas and a predominant endemic strain in others; it is frequently associated with drug resistance.
Isoniazid Preventive Therapy and Risk for Resistant Tuberculosis
PDF Version [PDF - 223 KB - 8 pages]
M. Balcells et al.View SummaryView Abstract
Preventive therapy may increase risk for drug resistance.
In the context of tuberculosis (TB) resurgence, isoniazid preventive therapy (IPT) is increasingly promoted, but concerns about the risk for development of isoniazid-resistant tuberculosis may hinder its widespread implementation. We conducted a systematic review of data published since 1951 to assess the effect of primary IPT on the risk for isoniazid-resistant TB. Different definitions of isoniazid resistance were used, which affected summary effect estimates; we report the most consistent results. When all 13 studies (N = 18,095 persons in isoniazid groups and N = 17,985 persons in control groups) were combined, the summary relative risk for resistance was 1.45 (95% confidence interval 0.85–2.47). Results were similar when studies of HIV-uninfected and HIV-infected persons were considered separately. Analyses were limited by small numbers and incomplete testing of isolates, but findings do not exclude an increased risk for isoniazid-resistant TB after IPT. The diagnosis of active TB should be excluded before IPT. Continued surveillance for isoniazid resistance is essential.
Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Rifampin Resistance, United Kingdom
PDF Version [PDF - 233 KB - 8 pages]
I. Sam et al.View SummaryView Abstract
A national diagnostic service identified M. tuberculosis and rifampin resistance in primary clinical specimens faster than conventional techniques.
The United Kingdom Health Protection Agency Mycobacterium Reference Unit offers a national "Fastrack" molecular service for detecting Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) and rifampin resistance by using the INNO-LiPA Rif.TB assay. We analyzed the service in a routine, nontrial context of 1,997 primary clinical specimens, including 658 nonrespiratory specimens. The overall adjusted concordance, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value for detecting MTBC were 91.2%, 85.2%, 96.2%, 95.7%, and 86.7%, respectively (unadjusted, 86.7%, 85.2%, 88.2%, 86.9%, and 86.7%), when false-positive samples from patients (n = 83) with a known microbiologic diagnosis of MTBC or patients receiving current or recent antituberculous treatment were excluded. The parameters for detecting rifampin resistance were 99.1%, 95.0%, 99.6%, 92.7%, and 99.7%, respectively. The assay enabled earlier diagnosis of MTBC and rifampin resistance (15.2 days) compared with culture-based techniques (30.7 days).
Multidrug-resistant Tuberculosis in Military Recruits
PDF Version [PDF - 124 KB - 3 pages]
G. Freier et al.View Abstract
We conducted a tuberculosis contact investigation for a female military recruit with an unreported history of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDRTB) and subsequent recurrence. Pertinent issues included identification of likely contacts from separate training phases, uncertainty on latent MDRTB infection treatment regimens and side effects, and subsequent dispersal of the contacts after exposure.

PDF Version [PDF - 58 KB - 3 pages]
M. J. van der Werf et al.View Abstract
In 2004, we tested all patients with newly diagnosed tuberculosis (TB) for HIV in Kiev City. The results were compared to information from medical records of 2002, when co-infection prevalence was 6.3%. Of 968 TB patients, 98 (10.1%) were HIV infected. TB-HIV co-infection is increasing, especially in injecting drug users.
Mycobacterium bovis Isolates from Tuberculous Lesions in Chadian Zebu Carcasses
PDF Version [PDF - 150 KB - 3 pages]
C. Diguimbaye-Djaibé et al.View Abstract
This slaughterhouse study in Chad shows higher proportions of Mycobacterium bovis isolates among Mbororo than Arabe zebu cattle. Spoligotyping shows a homogenetic population structure for M. bovis and lack of spacer 30, as were found in neighboring Cameroon and Nigeria. This finding suggests transborder and ongoing transmission between cattle.
Intact pks15/1 in Non–W-Beijing Mycobacterium tuberculosis Isolates
PDF Version [PDF - 163 KB - 3 pages]
A. Chaiprasert et al.View Abstract
To determine whether intact pks15/1 is unique to the W-Beijing family, we investigated 147 Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains with different IS6110 genotypes. Intact pks15/1 was found in 87.8% of cerebrospinal fluid and 84.9% of sputum isolates. It was found not only in W-Beijing strains (≈97%) but also in other genotypes (38.5%–100%).

Coronavirus HKU1 Infection in the United States
PDF Version [PDF - 189 KB - 5 pages]
F. Esper et al.View SummaryView Abstract
Virus is associated with respiratory tract disease in children <5 years of age.
In 2005, a new human coronavirus, HCoV-HKU1, was identified in Hong Kong. We screened respiratory specimens collected from December 16, 2001, to December 15, 2002, from children <5 years of age who tested negative for respiratory syncytial virus, parainfluenza viruses, influenza virus, and adenovirus for HCoV-HKU1 by reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction. Overall, 1,048 respiratory specimens from 851 children were tested, and 9 HCoV-HKU1–positive children (1%) were identified, 2 of whom had 2 positive specimens. Children who had HCoV-HKU1 infection had evidence of either upper or lower respiratory tract infection or both. Two patients had disease beyond the respiratory tract. HCoV-HKU1 was identified from December 2001 to February 2002. Sequence analyses suggest that a single strain was circulating. HCoV-HKU1 is therefore likely circulating in the United States and is associated with upper and lower respiratory tract disease.
Novel Swine Influenza Virus Subtype H3N1, United States
PDF Version [PDF - 294 KB - 8 pages]
P. Lekcharoensuk et al.View SummaryView Abstract
A new subtype H3N1 may have arisen from reassortment of a H3N2 turkey isolate, a human H1N1 isolate, and currently circulating swine viruses.
Influenza A virus infects various animal species and transmits among different hosts, especially between humans and swine. Swine may serve as a mixing vessel to create new reassortants that could infect humans. Thus, monitoring and characterizing influenza viruses in swine are important in preventing interspecies transmission. We report the emergence and characterization of a novel H3N1 subtype of swine influenza virus (SIV) in the United States. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the H3N1 SIVs may have acquired the hemagglutinin gene from an H3N2 turkey isolate, the neuraminidase gene from a human H1N1 isolate, and the remaining genes from currently circulating SIVs. The H3N1 SIVs were antigenically related to the turkey virus. Lung lesions and nasal shedding occurred in swine infected with the H3N1 SIVs, suggesting the potential to transmit among swine and to humans. Further surveillance will help determine whether this novel subtype will continue to circulate in swine populations.
Aedes aegypti Larval Indices and Risk for Dengue Epidemics
PDF Version [PDF - 354 KB - 7 pages]
L. Sanchez et al.View SummaryView Abstract
Entomologic indices can identify areas at high risk for disease transmission.
We assessed in a case-control study the test-validity of Aedes larval indices for the 2000 Havana outbreak. "Cases" were blocks where a dengue fever patient lived during the outbreak. "Controls" were randomly sampled blocks. Before, during, and after the epidemic, we calculated Breteau index (BI) and house index at the area, neighborhood, and block level. We constructed receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves to determine their performance as predictors of dengue transmission. We observed a pronounced effect of the level of measurement. The BImax (maximum block BI in a radius of 100 m) at 2-month intervals had an area under the ROC curve of 71%. At a cutoff of 4.0, it significantly (odds ratio 6.00, p<0.05) predicted transmission with 78% sensitivity and 63% specificity. Analysis of BI at the local level, with human-defined boundaries, could be introduced in control programs to identify neighborhoods at high risk for dengue transmission.
Historical Review
Spatial Analysis of Sleeping Sickness, Southeastern Uganda, 1970–2003
PDF Version [PDF - 432 KB - 8 pages]
L. Berrang-Ford et al.View SummaryView Abstract
Disease will likely spread into central Uganda.
Sleeping sickness reemerged in southeastern Uganda in the 1970s and remains a public health problem. It has continued to spread north into new districts, and gaps remain in the understanding of the causes of its spread and distribution. We report the distribution and magnitude of sleeping sickness in southeastern Uganda from 1970 to 2003. Data were collected from records of the Ugandan Ministry of Health, individual sleeping sickness treatment centers, and interviews with public health officials. Data were used to develop incidence maps over time, conduct space-time cluster detection analyses, and develop a velocity vector map to visualize spread of sleeping sickness over time in southeastern Uganda. Results show rapid propagation of sleeping sickness from its epicenter in southern Iganga District and its spread north into new districts and foci.
Shiga-toxigenic Escherichia coli O157 in Agricultural Fair Livestock, United States
PDF Version [PDF - 296 KB - 7 pages]
J. E. Keen et al.View SummaryView Abstract
Organisms were common in ruminants, swine, and pest flies.
Agricultural fairs exhibiting livestock are increasingly implicated in human Shiga-toxigenic Escherichia coli O157:H7 (STEC O157:H7) outbreaks. To estimate livestock STEC O157:H7 prevalence at US fairs, we collected 2,919 fecal specimens at 29 county fairs in 2 states and at 3 state fairs in 2002. Fly pools were also collected. STEC O157:H7 was isolated from livestock at 31 (96.9%) of 32 fairs, including 11.4% of 1,407 cattle, 1.2% of 1,102 swine, 3.6% of 364 sheep and goats, and 5.2% of 154 fly pools. Cattle, swine, and flies at some fairs shared indistinguishable STEC O157:H7 isolate subtypes. In 2003, a total of 689 ambient environmental samples were collected at 20 fairgrounds 10–11 months after 2002 livestock sampling while fairgrounds were livestock-free. Four beef barn environmental samples at 3 fairgrounds yielded STEC O157:H7. These data suggest that STEC O157 is common and transmissible among livestock displayed at agricultural fairs and persists in the environment after the fair.
The Trojan Chicken Study, Minnesota
PDF Version [PDF - 271 KB - 5 pages]
S. R. Olson and G. C. GrayView SummaryView Abstract
County fairs are a possible venue for animal-to-human pathogen transmission.
We conducted a study in the summer of 2004 at county fairs in the Midwest to investigate the role poultry exhibits have in spreading avian pathogens to humans. A nearly invisible powder (pathogen surrogate) that fluoresces under UV light was surreptitiously sprinkled each day on 1 show bird at each of 2 fairs. A UV light box was used to daily examine the hands of 94 poultry-exhibit participants (blinded regarding UV box results) for up to 4 days during the poultry shows. Enrollment and end-of-study questionnaires collected data on pathogen risk factors. Eight (8.5%) of 94 participants had evidence of fluorescent powder contamination (95% confidence interval 2.76%–14.26%). This contamination and infrequent handwashing practices suggest that county fairs are a possible venue for animal-to-human pathogen transmission.
Enterobacter cloacae Outbreak and Emergence of Quinolone Resistance Gene in Dutch Hospital
PDF Version [PDF - 187 KB - 6 pages]
A. Paauw et al.View SummaryView Abstract
Plasmid-mediated qnrA1 is an emerging resistance trait.
An outbreak of Enterobacter cloacae infections with variable susceptibility to fluoroquinolones occurred in the University Medical Center Utrecht in the Netherlands in 2002. Our investigation showed that a qnrA1 gene was present in 78 (94%) of 83 outbreak isolates and that a qnrA1-encoding plasmid transferred to other strains of the same species and other species. The earliest isolate carrying this same plasmid was isolated in 1999. qnrA1 was located in a complex integron consisting of the intI1, aadB, qacEΔ1, sul1, orf513, qnrA1, ampR, qacEΔ1, and sul1 genes that were not described previously. On the same plasmid, 2 other class 1 integrons were present. One was a new integron associated with the blaCTX-M-9 extended-spectrum β-lactamase.

The infection was associated with exposure in a home hot tub.
Molecular Characterization of Rotavirus Gastroenteritis Strains, Iraqi Kurdistan
PDF Version [PDF - 127 KB - 3 pages]
H. M. Ahmed et al.View Abstract
Of 260 children with acute diarrhea in Erbil, Iraqi Kurdistan, 96 (37%) were infected with rotavirus. Reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction identified G1, G4, G2, G9, P[8], P[6], and P[4] as the most common genotypes. Eight G/P combinations were found, but P[8]G1 and P[4]G2 accounted for >50% of the strains.
Clostridium difficile Ribotype 027, Toxinotype III, the Netherlands
PDF Version [PDF - 143 KB - 4 pages]
E. J. Kuijper et al.View Abstract
Outbreaks due to Clostridium difficile polymerase chain reaction (PCR) ribotype 027, toxinotype III, were detected in 7 hospitals in the Netherlands from April 2005 to February 2006. One hospital experienced at the same time a second outbreak due to a toxin A–negative C. difficile PCR ribotype 017 toxinotype VIII strain. The outbreaks are difficult to control.
Costs of Surgical Site Infections That Appear after Hospital Discharge
PDF Version [PDF - 145 KB - 4 pages]
N. Graves et al.View Abstract
Data were collected from surgical patients in the hospital and on 4 occasions postdischarge. The incidence of postdischarge surgical site infection was 8.46%. Strong evidence showed that these infections caused minor additional costs, which contradicts existing literature. We discuss why previous studies might have overstated costs.

Five cases of Lassa fever have been imported from West Africa to the United States since 1969. We report symptoms of the patient with the second imported case and the symptoms and long-term follow-up on the patient with the third case. Vertigo in this patient has persisted for 30 years.
Hantavirus in African Wood Mouse, Guinea
PDF Version [PDF - 78 KB - 3 pages]
B. Klempa et al.View Abstract
Hantaviruses are rodentborne, emerging viruses that cause life-threatening human diseases in Eurasia and the Americas. We detected hantavirus genome sequences in an African wood mouse (Hylomyscus simus) captured in Sangassou, Guinea. Sequence and phylogenetic analyses of the genetic material demonstrate a novel hantavirus species, which we propose to name "Sangassou virus."
Rickettsia felis in Fleas, Western Australia
PDF Version [PDF - 118 KB - 3 pages]
D. Schloderer et al.View Abstract
This study is the first confirmation of Rickettsia felis in Australia.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Ashley Barrow scored 21 points, and Number 17
Notre Dame scored more than 100 points on the road for the first
time in school history in a 104-86 victory over Georgetown today.
The Irish (15-3, 3-1 Big East) led the feisty Hoyas 60-52 early
in the second half. Notre Dame then pulled away for its second
straight win when Brittany Mallory's three-point play off a
fastbreak layup started a 24-10 surge.
Mallory, a reserve, scored 15 points and Charel Allen finished
with 14 for the Irish. Notre Dame shot 72 percent from the field in
the second half. The team topped the century mark for the first
time since a 107-65 win over Cleveland State on November 26, 2002.
Kieraah Marlow had a career-high 34 points and also finished
with 13 rebounds for the Hoyas (10-7, 0-4).

The Kudankulam nuclear plant is situated in the Tirunelveli district of Tamil Nadu. Construction has been delayed due to anti-nuclear protests by the locals and People's Movement Against Nuclear Energy, who are afraid of a repeat of what happened in Fukushima after the March 2011 tsunami.

I know you don't like Super Rugby anymore, but...
I know that there's too much rugby in the schedule. I know that you don't like the Super Rugby format. I know that there are more logs to look at then there used to be. I know you liked the old way better.
I know it's complicated. I know that whatever your suggestion is for what it should be is better. You don't even have to tell me what it is. Oh wait...you're telling me what it is.
Whoah. As I knew already, that is a totally flawless suggestion. All issues reconciled in one fell swoop. You should definitely work for SANZAAR. Scratch that. You should work for the United Nations.
Sorry, but could you keep it down with all the rugby fixture theory? Thing is, I'm actually more interested in the rugby itself.
Like what's going on right behind you right now. Looks like the Blues have got their act together and are giving the Highlanders a run for their money. Man, looks like some good rugby in this black hole of a tournament. Oh look, now the Brumbies look hell of a polished.
Looks like this new bonus point system has kept the game interesting for longer. Maybe we should just sit down and watch how it...oh right. You weren't finished telling me how hard it'll be to follow. I agree with that. And that. Man, I just can't stop nodding at what you're saying.
Tell you what. Sorry for the lack of eye contact, but I'm just going to keep nodding with you while I watch the Cheetahs game. Ja, I know we're diluting the tournament by including Argentina. I know that it's a...whoah...you see that starting team? That's almost their full World Cup side. Could be history-making stuff here. Want to watch it? Oh, sorry. I didn't realise that you weren't finished talking about proper ways to grow rugby viewership around the world.
Sorry man. Have to call it a night now. Continue this chat tomorrow? Cool.
Morning. Must say, didn't think you'd be here at 6am. You must have lots more to get off your chest. Mind if I turn on the Lions game while we hang out? I know you said "Don't get me started on Japan in Super Rugby", so you don't have to talk about it if you don't want...oh look, you want to get started on Japan in Super Rugby.
Sorry, do you mind moving a bit out the way? You're blocking the...yoh! Looks full there. But ja, I agree that they really shouldn't be there. And I agree with that point about Japan. And that point. And that point. Okay, that point might be a bit racist, but I'll let it slide and keep nodding.
You're right. Less classic matchups like the old days. Like the Crusaders versus the Chiefs and the Waratahs versus the Reds. Oh look. They're on now. Want to watch? Oh sorry. No please, keep going about how it's not the same anymore.
Sorry man. I just need to pop out for some life admin. I thought it would be a good idea to do it during the Force vs Rebels game. Ja, I know their inclusion started this whole rot.
Oh, there's more to it than that? Tell you what, I'll just record it in case something happens, you stay here and keep talking about how Super Rugby just traps you to the couch all weekend with meaningless rugby and I'll check you later.
Hey man. Sorry I had to pop out. Should we start the braai? Figured we could get it going before the Sharks game kicks off. Oh, I'm sure you do have plenty to say about the Kings. Can't wait to hear it.
Yip, I agree with that point. And that point. And that point. Okay, that point might be a bit racist, but...yoh, you check that offload? Also looks like Willie's having a good game. Sharks look like they might be good to watch this year. Oh ja. I forgot. "Just the Kings." Nod. Nod.
Cool, Stormers vs Bulls. Let's do this. Ja, you're right. Players going overseas has totally ruined this game. It's just taken the...yoh, what a tackle!...sting out of local derbies.
Check, game's opening up and the Stormers are looking pretty good. Sorry, what was that? I didn't catch what you said about how kak it is that they won't play against everyone. I was too busy watching who they are playing now.
Yoh! What a game. You have to go? All right. Cheers man. It's been real.
What did you say? "Same again next weekend?"
Sorry man. I'm...busy.
Finally, the not-so-long-awaited Simply Sean World Cup squad.
Well, we're all making our own group of 31. It's an implied contractual obligation one has as an armchair rugby pundit.
Below is the Simply Sean South African World Cup squad. Like an international coach, I've chosen not to come out and explain my selections unless I've been prompted by questions. If you do have questions, feel free to ask them (either direct them on Twitter to @SimplySean_ or on the Simply Sean Facebook page) and I will try to answer them on this post.
Props (5): Beast Mtawarira, Trevor Nyakane, Steven Kitshoff, Jannie du Plessis, Frans Malherbe
Hookers (3): Bismarck du Plessis, Adriaan Strauss, Schalk Brits
Locks (4): Eben Etzebeth,Victor Matfield (vice-captain), Lood de Jager, Pieter-Steph du Toit
Loose Forwards (5): Francois Louw, Willem Alberts, Duane Vermeulen, Schalk Burger, Heinrich Brussow
Scrumhalves (3): Fourie du Preez, Ruan Pienaar, Cobus Reinach
Flyhalves (3): Patrick Lambie, Morne Steyn, Handre Pollard
Centres (4): Jean de Villiers (captain), Damien de Allende, Jesse Kriel, Lionel Mapoe
Wings (3): Bryan Habana, JP Pietersen, Lwazi Mvovo
Fullbacks (1): Wille le Roux
An excellent first question. Well, not really a question, but an excellent point that needs an answer.
Personally, I haven't been given any directives on the racial composition of my squad. If I were given some, I'd be more than happy to edit the squad so that it complies with them.
Negatives? Yes. Death knell? No.
As coach speak goes, "We'll take the positives" is not just a post-match platitude, it's one of the most obvious ones of them all.
Of course people take positives from situations. How awful would life be if you didn't? Taking positives after a loss shouldn't be seen as just papering over cracks. It should be seen as obvious practice if you want to even bother getting out of bed and preparing for, say, playing the All Blacks on Saturday.
That said, after a loss, the negatives are obviously more important because therein lies the why.
Any cheap teambuilding manual will tell you to build on the positives and work on the negatives.
With that in mind, the nicest way that you can phrase it after that loss is that the Springboks still have a lot to work on.
Firstly, no matter what you think of the final TMO decision (this armchair TMO says fair try), that game was there to be wrapped up well before that took place. With a good scrum, forward momentum and a defence that was mostly doing just fine, a team should have all it needs to close out a game properly.
How did the Springboks botch up following through with a win after being 20-7 up just after half time? Well, let's start with the most eye-popping statistic. In the second half, South Africa had 21% possession and 14% territory.
The Australians spent the vast majority of the half with the ball putting the Springboks under pressure. The Springboks kept failing in relieving it.
There were a few reasons for that and the most important ones were easier to spot. The scrum malfunctioned after the bench came on, David Pocock's master cameo certainly didn't help and the open play kicking just flat out didn't work.
Everyone loves a bitch at how the Springboks kick. It's a go-to knee jerk reaction after a loss even for fans that didn't watch. "Boring old Boks back to their boring old kicking" and all that.
Usually, if the team's kicking fails, it should be a debate as to whether the problem was execution or volume. In Brisbane, it was probably both.
Persisting with up and unders that don't work can seem like continually banging your head against a brick wall. Bombing high balls against Australian players (who, if they play rugby union, they've definitely at least had a look at Aussie rules) can seem like continually banging your head against a brick wall that has a sign on it saying "Warning: banging your head against this wall will be sore".
It screams of South African players resorting to a familiar yet very limited comfort zone. If they are going to seriously feature in this World Cup, they're going to have to work kicking differently. If kicks can't be contested effectively in the air, then they need to go into space. If the space isn't there, keep the ball and work the opposition around until it is (unless you've organised enough space to run into, of course).
That's all easier said than done, but hey, no-one's ever claimed that winning the World Cup was easier done than said.
As for straight up exit rugby, that Springbok team looked to be light when it came to getting distance off the boot. Some players must either work on connecting their kicks better or Meyer must seriously think about bringing in players who will kick further. You can be as romantic as you want about running rugby, but it'll all come to nought if you don't have some decent clearing kicks to relieve pressure.
Even with all the minuses from that game, you still have a whole host of singular what ifs to choose from on what could have swung a mighty close game the Springboks way. A missed touch kick here, botching up running down the clock there as well as a touch and go TMO decision which, as modern rugby constantly shows us, will be everywhere.
You can choose any one of those that would've ended up being match-winning, but the truth is that winning is not the only thing. It's definitely the most important, but it's not the only thing. Especially in a World Cup build-up.
Say one of those what ifs did happen and South Africa won, it would be wrong to just take the win without taking the negatives. That would be papering over the cracks.
The important negatives don't change regardless of the result.
As for positives, you can find quite a few without being too desperate in your digging. Some of them were even surrounded by pre-match question marks. All those fetchers in one team? Resulted in turnovers aplenty. Schalk Burger at number 8? Big tick. Jesse Kriel on test debut? Definitely earned another pre World Cup look. Lood de Jager on the back of a long injury? Sen-bloody-sational.
When you pair the above with what was mostly a fantastic defensive display, a couple of sexy tries and some sound scrumming from the old guard, you'll find that the Springboks have plenty of things to build on.
Losing away to Australia in World Cup year is not a death knell. After all, South Africa lost there in 2007. So did New Zealand in 2011.
However, it's now been 3 losses out of 4 test matches for South Africa and none of those games were against the All Blacks. They need to start winning if they want any kind of meaningful momentum going into the World Cup. Just judging a team on World Cup results is going full Straueli. Never go full Straueli.

Newport church opens Thompsontown campus
THOMPSONTOWN – Newport Assembly of God is expanding its outreach through a second campus.
The Rev. Gary Bellis, who has been lead pastor for 37 years, said the church recently obtained the building located at 10110 William Penn Highway, Thompsontown.
The opportunity to open a second location allows the church to reach even more people with their ministry, he said.
Services are set for 10:15 a.m. Sunday mornings beginning Nov. 10 at the church. Bellis said the children's ministry and Life Groups also will be scheduled for the Thompsontown campus sometime after the first services are held.
At this time, about 60 adults are committed to attending services at the new campus.
"We feel we'll grow," Bellis said, "We just really are very passionate about ministry to people."
One of the church's most widely known ministries is Bread of Life Outreach, which distributes food, over-the-counter medicines, cleaning products and more to more than 1,800 families in the area. Bellis said BOLO will expand from its 7,000-square-foot warehouse of supplies to a second distribution point at the Thompsontown campus.
He said the church is preparing the building to hold an inventory of supplies for monthly distributions on the fourth Saturday of the month.
According to a press release, BOLO has distributed more than 34,000 tons of supplies valued at more than $120 million since its beginning in 1994.
Additional products received at the warehouse have been donated to schools and serving agencies within Perry County. The release states that this practical assistance also will be a large part of church outreach in Juniata County through the new campus.
Bellis said the church's ministry reaches around the world. The church has been involved in humanitarian outreach in Russia for 15 years. The release states that the church partnered with other churches and organizations to send medical teams and provide training and Bible study materials to church leaders. They also assisted in planting many churches and currently minister in Haiti and India too.
Bellis described the church as very community-minded.
"That's what Christ told us to do," he said about ministering to others. "Church is not about the building, it's about the people."
The new building, which was donated to the church, features a large kitchen and dining area right inside the doors. Directly down the hall, a set of dark wooden doors leads to the combination auditorium and worship room which seats 350-400 people.
On the other side of the facility are brightly painted classrooms for children's and teen's Sunday school and family ministry, Bellis said.
In the church, he said, outreach will focus on practical, Biblical teaching that impacts everyday life.
For more information about the church or its new Thompsontown campus, visit www.newportassembly.org or call 567-3333.

Adam Yauch, Beastie Boy turned documentarian ("Awesome; I . . . Shot That"), turns in a crisp, insightful, but emotionally distant look at the best high school basketball players of 2006 with "Gunnin' for That #1 Spot."
The lack of emotion is inherent in the subject: a single playground pickup game.
That playground is Rucker Park in Harlem, where such greats as Dr. J and Wilt Chamberlain earned their nicknames. The game is the first "Elite" contest where 24 of the country's top high school players were invited to play on the famous stage. Years earlier, these teenagers had been labeled as legitimate professional prospects (many are involved in the current NBA draft), and by 2006, their career tracks were settled. The game then, as colorful as it is, means next to nothing to them. It's essentially an opportunity to show off.
In the first half of the film, Yauch focuses on eight players: Michael Beasley (from Upper Marlboro), Donte Greene (from Baltimore), Jerryd Bayless, Tyreke Evans, Brandon Jennings, Kevin Love, Kyle Singler and Lance Stephenson. Yauch combines extremely rough home video digital footage with discreet special effects to sketch capsule versions of their childhood careers. In doing so, he tells eight variations on the same story: boys whose exceptional physical talents were recognized early and carefully tended by their families. He also interviews relatives, coaches, athletic ratings "experts" and others who have an interest in these kids. That's when he makes understated points about the people who want to influence or manipulate the young players and the ones who genuinely care about them.
The film's second half is the game. New York is introduced through nifty high-definition helicopter shots that beautifully distort Manhattan. The eight players are divided between the blue and white teams, so which side wins is meaningless. To keep things interesting, the game is edited as an over-caffeinated highlights reel with rewinds and multiple replays of particularly creative passes and spectacular shots. It's cool and forgettable.
For all the flash and dazzle, "Gunnin' for That #1 Spot" never comes close to the power and intimacy of 1994's "Hoop Dreams." The comparison may be unfair, but, given the subject matter, it's inevitable.
-- Mike Mayo (June 27, 2008)

Watseka Police warn people about telephone scam
At least two customers of a Watseka bank have reported they were contacted by phone and threatened that they owe federal back-taxes. The caller tries to get victims to pay up or they'd be arrested within the hour.
Watseka Police Chief Roger Lebeck warns the public the scammers are using common practice to get victims to turn over personal information, but the chief says that's not how it works. His advice to people getting such calls ? Hang up and contact local authorities. Don't become a victim.
Scammers are using a scare tactic to try to get people to pay. Authorities say certified mail, advising of a court date, is how any such notices would ever alert the public. People are not arrested for non-payment by police.
Iroquois County Sheriff's Police have also received similar complaints.

There's no wrong way to go about researching a prospect in advance of a call. Yes, there are a few efficiencies to be gained, and some networks are more important to check than others, but as long as you're doing your research, you're already more than halfway there.
The only way a sales rep can truly fail is by going into a call totally cold. Buyers just don't have the patience to answer basic questions whose answers are readily accessible with the most cursory Googling, nor do they have time to fill you on their challenges. If you pick up the phone without gathering any background information, at best you stand to annoy the person, and at worst, to be hung up on mid-sentence. But you can be sure there's not going to be any money exchanging hands or contracts being signed.
You might not have time to check every box on this list before a call, and that's okay -- just make sure to check at least a few. The more you can personalize your conversation to the prospect and their business, the greater the chance that you'll capture their interest -- and hopefully their business.
1) LinkedIn
LinkedIn is a gold mine for prospect research. If you can only research your prospect on one platform before your call, make it LinkedIn.
Find your buyer on the network, and check out each of the following areas of their profile:
- Experience at their current job – Most people list primary job duties or major projects they've worked on. This can help you get a sense of what falls under their jurisdiction, and what doesn't.
- Experience at their former jobs – Customize your messaging based on their career history. Is this their first time making this kind of purchasing decision, or have they done this many times?
- Shared connections – If you have a connection in common with your prospect, make sure to bring it up during your conversation, and ask how they know this person. This could be a referral opportunity.
- Groups – Click through to their groups to see what's being talked about.
- Recent activity – Take a look at what your buyer has recently shared and where.
2) Buyer's Twitter Account
If your prospect has a Twitter account, you should spend a few minutes on their page to get a sense of what they're interested in. Read a handful of the articles they've recently retweeted, or look into an issue they posted about. Click back through their feed to spot any major trends in their interests.
3) Company's Twitter Account
What kind of content and messaging has the company been promoting? Understanding how the company is presenting itself to its customers can help you better understand how to present yourself to your buyer.
4) Company's Press and Media Releases Page
Scroll through the recent press releases and see if anything major has been announced such as leadership changes, product releases, financial statements, events, or customer wins.
5) Competitor Press and Media Releases Pages
If a competitor has made a significant announcement within the past few months, that will color the way your buyer looks at your offering -- either as a competitive advantage, or an unnecessary expense in the face of more pressing priorities. Figure your footing out before you pick up the phone.
6) Financial Statements
If your buyer works for a public company, it might be a good idea to check out its most recent financial reports on the SEC's website. This will give you an idea of how the company is performing, as well as the problems it's facing (check out "risk factors" sections).
7) Blogs
Read what your buyer reads, and read what your buyer writes. If your prospect maintains a blog, be sure to read at least the last few posts and comment on them during your call. In addition, visit the websites of popular industry blogs and peruse the latest posts to learn more about the trends and challenges shaping the environment.
8) Facebook
Facebook is more of a personal social network, and so typically less important for researching purposes than LinkedIn or Twitter. Still, it might be helpful to check out your buyer's Facebook profile to pick up a few personal tidbits about them. Just make sure to weave these into the conversation naturally, or you risk giving off an overly personal vibe. Also, this is another good place to see if you have any friends in common.
9) Marketing Automation System
Sure, this might be the first time you're checking up on your prospect, but it might not be the first time they've checked you out. Search the prospect's name in your marketing automation system to turn up any existing contact records or interaction history. You might just find this particular buyer knows a lot more about your product than you thought. Use this information and tailor your approach to their current stage in the buying process.
10) CRM System
In addition to the marketing automation system, stop by your trusty CRM to determine if another sales team member has reached out to this prospect in the past ... and if so, what (if anything) happened. HubSpot's free CRM also features a lead timeline view that aggregates recent interactions, press releases, and company news in one scrollable and automatically updated location. Research = done.
11) Google the Company
Conduct a search on the company to bring up any news stories that they've kept off their press page -- good or bad. Be sure to select third-party publications that are high-quality and reliable.
12) Google the Prospect
Search your buyer's name in quotes to surface any other information about them that might've fallen through the cracks. Baking contest winner? Amateur trumpet player? Right on.

Same Bed, Different Dreams for China's Leaders, Critics
China has been doing a lot of dreaming lately. Analyzing these dreams might have driven Sigmund Freud to despair.
The dream sequences started appearing ahead of the Communist Party's national congress in November as the state media served up the "China Dream" as a counterpoint to the "American Dream" – which was portrayed as too crass and materialistic.
But it wasn't until new Communist Party chief Xi Jinping embraced it in a now famous speech at the National Museum at the end of November that the notion went viral.
