Being an ole-man fan of the Knicks .. has not been very rewarding lately, the good ole-daze of Earl Monroe, Sugar Ray, Cartwright, Bernad King, and Ewing are all gone.
The Knicks has been going down hill as a scrub NBA team ever since the Allan Houston resigning of $100M max contract in 1999....to the $100M max contract for Carmelo Anthony in 2011.
u just dont give a NO-DEFENSIVE-EFFORT player a $100M contract .. its different if u drafted the player to watch his fan base increase by a large percentage each season, or if u trade for a no-defense-player in the final year or two of his max contract to boost your advantage in the playoffs .... which a lot of NBA teams will do for the Knicks in the final years of Amare & Melo contract.
How many seasons will it take to realize Melo & Amare dont co-exist?
Two first round playoff seasons and we are still blaming injuries....Damn!
We have a 3 year window for what Stat1? A championship?
Whatever your smokin my dude, pass that ish to me and let me kill it
If you have no hope that we can build towards a championship in the next 3 years then what is the point in even watching these games? I'm curious to know why you seem to feel that building around Jeremy Lin & Shump gives the Knicks a better chance at winning a title over building around Melo & STAT? So when exactly do you feel is the RIGHT time to try & go for win now mode? When Lin is a superstar player in 2015? Do you know for sure that's what he's going to become? I don't. & Even if he does, what's to prevent the Knicks from pursuing him as a Free agent? Once again, the books will be completely clear by that year & the Knicks will have all the cap space in the world to offer him a max deal, IF he becomes the star player you are projecting him to be. Right now, with the contracts we have on our books, our #1 priority needs to be on trying to win a championship, not on developing young players with the hope of winning one in 2015.
Im not sure what this team should do but I do know that we're not built for a championship. One of our stars needs to work a little harder and the other one needs to work alot harder.
Last year, Amare looked uncoordinated and old. Carmelo looked disinterested at times with playing defense. Hopefully Stats not just sweet talking the fans and he means what he said about what he felt he learned from the Miami Heat.
We got a good team but not quite enough to overcome Miami or Boston next year in my opinion. I think we're a little better then the Nets at least, but I was wrong to make this thread. I should be content with having a 2nd round team as my favorite team in all sports after all those years of embarrassment, pain, ball stomping needle poking torture
We will 100% lose Shump because Dolan will trade STAT and Shump for CP3 this season.
Haha... probably not...but this thread is funny!
^ That would be a nice trade.
Lin is never coming back. Once you cross Dolan there is no return.
Worst case Scenario - We don't win a championship, Lin becomes top 5 PG in the league... and we'll be saying "hey there goes Lin, if only Dolan matched"
Best Case scenario - We win a Championship before the contracts expire, Lin proves he's not as good as people think and no harm is done
Debating about the future of a franchise that substitutes 75% of its roster after each season is simply pointless. We're constantly rebuilding, if signing seven new players (including starters) isn't called rebuilding, then what is?

Although the Pope's announcement that he would abdicate his position seemed sudden, Benedict reportedly made his decision in 2012 after a trip to Cuba and Mexico. NBC's Anne Thompson reports.
VATICAN CITY — Pope Benedict XVI cited failing health for his historic decision to step aside, but it is increasingly clear that the rich seam of scandal and strife running through the Vatican weighed heavily on his mind.
Allegations of corruption at the very heart of the Roman Catholic Church were "great challenges" for the pontiff, according to his brother who on Tuesday referred to them coyly as "irregularities."
Experts said only the appointment of a strong replacement willing to exert a tighter grip on its divided hierarchy would succeed in giving the church a clean break from its troubles.
"They are going to need a reformer who can bring management skills," said the Rev. Thomas Reese, S.J., author of "Inside the Vatican: The Politics and Organization of the Catholic Church." "After all, it is often said that a good bishop needs to be like Jesus with an MBA."
The biggest headache for Pope Benedict XVI was the issue of alleged child sex abuse and the extent to which it had been ignored in some quarters of the church.
But it was the Vatileaks affair that fostered "perceptions of in-fighting, cover-ups and disarray," according to John Allen, Rome-based senior correspondent at the National Catholic Reporter.
Division between rival camps within the church hierarchy — on one side, the pope's ally and Secretary of State, Tarcisio Bertone, and on the other, state figures from previous papal regimes — motivated the illegal leaking of thousands of documents that portrayed Bertone in a poor light.
In October, the pope's former butler Paolo Gabriele was given an 18-month prison sentence after being found guilty of stealing of the documents, which included some of Benedict's private papers and letters alleging corruption within the church.
Letters and memos show that a senior Vatican figure, Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano, was removed from his post not long after blowing the whistle on nepotism and overpayments for goods and services that he said had wasted millions of dollars, including more than $500,000 on Christmas nativity figures.
Bertone was also accused of ousting the reformist head of the Institute for Works of Religion — the so-called 'Vatican Bank' – and, bizarrely, of being involved in a plot to smear the editor of a Catholic newspaper as a homosexual.
The litany of scandals that surfaced during Benedict's papacy is a "long and not especially edifying list," Allen said, although he added that some revelations had been exaggerated. "You shouldn't believe everything you read about the Vatican in Italian newspapers."
Vatican historians do not have to look far for evidence of similar problems. The 1984 payout of more than $200 million to creditors of Banco Ambrosiano was an acknowledgement of the role church funds had played in the collapsed bank's dealings. The bank's chairman, Robert Calvi, was a financial adviser to the Vatican. He was found hanging from London's Blackfriars Bridge in 1982.
"Like any other workplace, the Vatican needs to have in place a system that ensures there are no personal interests in awarding financial contracts and so on," said Reese. "The problem is that the church has been its own auditor and policeman."
"The last two popes have been academic characters, and academics are not the best at reforming organizations."
Allen said: "The Vatican is going to need somebody who can act as a strong rudder, to bang heads together if necessary and to be seen as above the various factions. It's a very tough job."

Lapland means "land of the Sami", the indigenous people of this land. Together with them you can discover the flora, fauna and wildlife of this vast lamd – probably the last true wilderness in Europe.
This is an untouched land of lakes, forests, mountains, waterfalls and marshes. The reindeer is at the centre of the sledding and trekking activities and you will find out how invaluable this animal is to the Sami people. As you discover this country you will also learn about Sami history, culture and philosophy. You might also want to try your hand at herding and lassoing the reindeer; expertly instructed by a Sami herdsman.
Pathfinder Lapland's trips are certified according to "Nature's Best" by the Swedish Eco-Tourism Society. And means that you leave no trace that you were ever here!

September 11, 2013 —
As I reflect on my 20th summer in Sullivan County, the beauty and talent that surrounds me and is activated within me continues to flourish, astound and inspire. Encounters from beginning to end have been an intimate and fulfilling journey.
Starting the summer season, Joan Baez and the Indigo Girls came to Bethel Woods on a starry moon-laden Catskill night. Joan, a noble lady, sang the songs of my childhood memories amongst a quiet, calm and receptive audience, inspiring me to go home and sing folk songs with my husband on our front porch and to read her (Joan's) father's and mother's tales of living in Baghdad in 1951. I reordered a fresh copy of the Joan Baez folksong book—my old one yellowed tattered and lost through the decades.
The next setting, the Shandalee Music Festival, the "Mini Tanglewood" of Sullivan County, is practically in my own backyard. It's a six-mile trip from my front door to some of the most sublime and soul penetrating music one could imagine. In an enchanting sprawling 75-acre Catskill setting sits the Sunset Pavilion, where an intimate classical enclave has been created, an almost salon-like atmosphere, a place where solo piano and chamber works were meant to be heard. This Catskill gem is where true aficionados of classical music dare not to whisper or cough during each tantalizing musical moment; herein resides a banquet for the soul and mind.
Then onto another magical evening that beckons us down the winding road to the enchanted hamlet of Callicoon Center, NY to hear and witness Americana at its best. Polkas and the "Star Spangled Banner" ring throughout the valley, blanketed in a safe, sleepy corner where dedicated band members come to share and partake in a scene from Meredith Wilson's "A Music Man" or William Inge's "Picnic," although I am not Kim Novak, and, Dorothy, we're not in Kansas anymore. As the full moon rose in salute to this patriotic ember kept alive, I stood and saluted Old Glory. This tradition occurs rain or shine every Wednesday night throughout the summer since 1934.
And now off to the quaint Delaware River town of Narrowsburg, NY, to support the group I had the good fortune to sing with in my earlier days as a summer resident: the Delaware Valley Opera (DVO) striving for excellence, creating the tableaux required, this year in an attempt to emote the beauty of Mozartian melismatic prosody. An opera company where? In this sleepy river town lies the charming Tusten Theater where the DVO offers operatic opportunities for local youthful participants, future professionals and enthusiastic and dedicated amateurs. This experience led me to study and continue my operatic education—and experiences that are invaluable.
Thank you, Sullivan County for your awe-inspiring natural beauty and for another summer of delicious musical offerings.
[Eileen Ledwith resides in Youngsville, NY.]

Brooklyn - W
Miami- L
Sixers- W
Sixers- W
Dallas- W
The Knicks' first 5 games are as follows:
1. Brooklyn
2. Miami
3. 76ers
4. 76ers
5. Dallas
Given that the injury status of Chandler (yet to be determined), Smith (should be cleared), STAT (out), Camby (unsure?), Sheed (not injured but fat) will lead us in to the season somewhat malnourished personnel wise, what are the chances the Knicks go 0-5 before facing Orlando in their 6th game?
What if we start this season of seasons with an 0-5 record?
The typical reaction amongst Knick fans is wide spread panic.
With a hint of realism onboard, how will you react to a nasty, putrid 0-5 start for our beloved Knicks?
Sure, it's circumstantial, but that hasn't stopped KO from fretting in the past.

Humility is a virtue and pride is a vice.
A big question I have is can the team remain healthy over the course of the season. We seem fragile, any time I see a collision between two players it seems to be our guy coming out, we're also old and that front court of Chandler, Amare and Camby have injury histories.
Not likely, we were leading The Nyets after 3 qtrs with us playing mostly backup and players that won't likely be in the rotation vs. their starters!
I got us going 3-2 after the first 5
We lose to Mia
Split against Philly
Wins against Dallas and Nets
Realistic start and about as good a start as most teams would put up in that 5 game stretch.

3-2. I think we beat the Sixers twice and either Brooklyn or Dallas

With the amount of injuries we have, we're hardly an elite team ourselves. Hence the thread. There is absolutely every chance we lose 5 straight, and it won't be the fault of anything except sour circumstance.
It won't take an elite team to beat this one as it stands (shakily) right now.
Even a 2-3 start will have this board up in arms. That's why I named the thread New York Knee Jerks. Massive fail seems to fit the mould.
As others have observed we might be better without Stat and Andrew Bynum has not played in a single preseason game and his return is questionable so we should have the edge on the 76ers.
Doug Collins told his team, injuries are not an excuse and I feel the same about the Knicks, they got these vets and depth to overcome a few injuries.
Best case scenario we go 4-1 worst case is we are 2-3 with wins vs philly and dallas.
Crooklyn W
Myemmy L

Filly W

I'd probably go to the nearest pre-school and punch a bunch of toddlers in the face to release some anger
1. Brooklyn- W, we cant lose, if we lose oh GOD
2. Miami- L, Boston is gonna beat them so they wont lose 2 in a row
3. Philly- W
4. Philly- W
5. Dallas- W- no Dirk
6. Orlando- W
5-1 to start the year

All of the words
Any of the words
The exact words(phrase)
The Fram Museum can today proudly inform that the Norwegian government has decided to allocate 20 million kroner to the protection building for the polar ship Gjøa – the first ship to sail through the Northwest Passage.
One hundred and one years ago, Roald Amundsen was the first to arrive at the geographical South Pole. Then he had five years earlier managed to sail from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean during one expedition, and the ship he used for this was the Hardanger sloop Gjøa.
The Gjøa building is under construction and will be completed in June next year when we open it for the public. The Gjøa herself found her way inside on the 11th of October this year.
Exhibitions about all the attempts to navigate the passage will see the light of day on our new premises - from the 15th century and up to Amundsen's successful crossing in 1903-06. Furthermore, we will have a film theatre, a classroom and a polar slide for children.
In cooperation with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, we are also having an own section dedicated to important and relevant information about the Arctic today. This will be about polar research, the cooperation with Norway's neighbour countries, climate change, new sea routes, fisheries and so on.
More about this here:
"Victory awaits him, who has everything in order - luck we call it. Defeat is definitely due for him, who has neglected to take the necessary precautions - bad luck we call it"

Portugal Looks Back On 1 Year Since Its Bailout

In Portugal, austerity has meant up to a 30 percent pay cut for civil servants. Unemployment is at more than 15 percent, and the economy continues to shrink. The European Union recently warned the Portuguese people may have to sacrifice even more.

Thumbs Up for Wes Montgomery
March 6, 2008. Posted by Joshua Jackson.Add new comment | Filed under: 1950s, algorithms, billy bauer, Birthdays, dead languages, electric instrument, guitarist billy, happy birthday, Listening Post, Masters, monk, nerds, plectrum, speakers, superhero, thumb, two minutes, Video, wes montgomery
Happy birthday today to Wes Montgomery. Any guitarist worth his or her salt has at least ONE album from Wes Montgomery, the master non-plectrist. No, I didn't invent that word, plectrist. It's actually derived from plectrum, which is what guitar nerds and speakers of dead languages call a pick. [Incidentally, another great guitarist, Billy Bauer, made a record in the 1950s called Plectrist. But I'm getting even more off topic here.]
Wes Montgomery, however, was a non-plectrist. He didn't use an external tool to pick the strings. He used his thumb. That's what makes Wes Montgomery's sound so identifiable - warm, casual, and about as 'natural' as an amplified electric instrument can sound without using algorithms or superhero powers.
Check out this video of Wes playing Thelonious Monk's "Round Midnight." About two minutes in, you'll see the closeup on his hand. Not plectacular, but spectacular. - Josh
PS - Anyone have a favorite Wes Montgomery album, song, or solo?

Getting the Halo 4 XBOX 360 bundle. What should I know about Halo 4. Are lots of people playing it? I mean it came out a mere week before Black Ops 2 so I don't assume there'll be many people playing it, plus I already know how it ends. So; how is it?
#221768 to #221629 - rafeky (11/20/2012) [-]
although it doesn't feel like a traditional halo game, it has a pretty good story that is definitely worth playing. also the multiplayer is alright. 7/10
#221753 to #221629 - Xaftz (11/20/2012) [-]
Like roliga said below, there's still a shit ton of people playing, so don't worry about it.
A lot of halo players don't like cod, and a lot of cod players don't like halo, so there will always be people.

Oh shit you're right. I'm really not going to enjoy Halo 4.... But I have nothing, my love.
#221636 to #221629 - roliga (11/20/2012) [-]
It's not like BO2 just swiped every Xbox owner into their realm of gaming, it still has a huge community and no trouble finding a game. Pretty good balanced multiplayer, Assault Rifle actually works now unlike other Halo games. Mantas's are overpowered but they're only on one level. Have fun with it and don't question the kill cams. They're literally off 90% of the time for whatever reason.
#221642 to #221636 - epicsauciness (11/20/2012) [-]
Awesome. I was scared that everyone'd be playing BO2. Thanks for the reassurance.
#221635 to #221629 - epicsauciness (11/20/2012) [-]
Also tell me about Forward Unto Dawn
#221644 to #221635 - Hypochef (11/20/2012) [-]
Its a mini series on youttube that you can watch for free, its a story that involves the Laskey character that helps the master chief out in Halo 4. Overall good acting and nice action sequences to come out for a mini series such as this, if you have an hour or two to watch it you might want to but not needed in order to play halo 4.
#221633 to #221629 - Hypochef (11/20/2012) [-]
Pretty good, although for multiplayer stick to BTB or Swat as those played with Solo queue are way easier then the standard slayer match. Beyond that don't underestimate the power of the AR in comparison to the others and just have fun with the game.
Also welcome to the club.
Also welcome to the club.
#221638 to #221633 - epicsauciness (11/20/2012) [-]
Thank you. I'll defs put that into consideration. So I heard single player campaign is co-op?
#221650 to #221638 - Hypochef (11/20/2012) [-]
Yep 4 person co-op with achievements to go with it, lots of fun with multiple people especially when you start dicking around. Granted the single player campaign is rather short at like eight missions, each only about an hour long with solo legendary run but still relatively fun to go through.

So we just had our first bit of cereal last night and it went well I think. I made it as the box said (I unfortunatly am a working mom so don't really have time to make home-made) and mixed 1 Tbl with 4 Tbl of EBM. It turned out REALLY runny. We only had I would say about 1 teaspoon worth. I am not worried about how much my LO ate but what consistancy should the cereal be? Did I do it right? Secondly what suggestions would anyone have on first "real" food to try and when should we do that? Any suggestions would be helpful..Thanks

Diablo 3 Inferno difficulty – Do you have what it takes to defeat the legions of hell on the hardest possible settings ? Diablo 3, like its predecessor has a few difficulty levels, that are unlocked as you progress further into the game. A quick note, for the ones who have never played the previous Diablo games – you have to complete the game, beating the final boss to unlock the next difficulty setting. Then, you are able to start from Act I, and go through the entire game content, with the enemies and the rewards you receive for defeating them being better. In Diablo 2, however you only had three difficulties to beat. In the new game, there is the option to confront your opponents on a level that is even harder than Hell. Once you choose "Inferno" and enter the game, you immediately notice a change in the way monsters work. The minions of evil will be a lot more aggressive, will notice you from afar and will pursue you tirelessly. Also most of the mini-boss spawns will usually have more modifiers which will make them very dangerous, granting them special attributes to go along with their attacks and additional defensive attributes, making them a lot harder to kill. Entering Inferno difficulty without the proper knowledge and strategies is incredibly hard and in most cases people will find that they are unable to beat the game on this difficulty setting. But you need not worry! We are fully aware that many people can get discouraged when they enter the final parts of the game, so we have a detailed section within the pages of our guide, dedicated entirely to the end game.
Inferno is the place where it all happens. It is the place where your character proves his worth. It is the place where you will experience the true Diablo 3 feeling – how cunning is your build? Is your character's equipment good enough to withstand the relentless assault of the bloodthirsty hordes of evil? If you manage to defeat the enemies on this difficulty setting, you will reap the greatest of rewards – the very best equipment, runes and gemstones will be acquirable only on the hardest difficulty setting. If your character is not really up to the challenge, however, do not despair. Simply by following our professional builds and strategies you can transform you hero into an Inferno killing machine, cutting through the legions of hell like hot knife through butter! Why wait? The incredible equipment is waiting for you to go and claim it! Acquire our Inferno guide now, and be the hero that you've always wanted to be.

*New* Longleaf Pine Initiative- 2014 Progress Report
*Updated* ALERT Brochure - Alabama's Longleaf Ecosystem Restoration Team: Providing Technical Assistance in Managing Longleaf Pine
Through the Longleaf Initiative NRCS and our partners are working with forestland owners in nine states to restore Longleaf pine forests.
Imagine a forest landscape stretching 90 million acres from Virginia to Texas, with towering pine trees and a diverse array of plants and wildlife. This was the range of Longleaf pine forests 400 years ago.
Today, less than 4 percent -- 3.4 million acres -- remain. The remaining forests are home to thousands of plant and animal species, including 122 threatened and endangered species, like the Red-cockaded Woodpecker.
Recently, students at the Boston University Center for Digital Imaging asked if they could use their digital animation skills to lend their support for longleaf pine. Working with NRCS staff, they created a 3D animation video that captures the beauty and ecological importance of longleaf pine forests.
Longleaf Pine Video (You will leave this site.)
Eligible counties are highlighted on the map below. There will be three priority areas. Priority is based on Threatened and Endangered Species habitat restoration, wildlife corridor establishment and the history longleaf range. Priority will also be given to planting on open land (cropland or pasture) sites.
Approved participants will receive financial assistance for implementing conservation practices including site preparation, planting longleaf pine, installing firebreaks, conducting prescribed burning, and controlling invasive plants.

Life in Japan is gradually returning to normal for North Central student Ereka Funkhouser '12.
Funkhouser, who's majoring in Japanese and classical civilization, studies abroad at Iwate University in Morioka, a town of about 300,000 located in the Iwate Prefecture. She was shaken by the March 11 earthquake, but her school, 40 miles from the coast, was not directly impacted by the devastating tsunami. "The coastline was really decimated by the tsunami, but Morioka's own earthquake damage was minimal," she said in mid-April.
At the time, she was contending with strong aftershocks and concerns about radiation leaking from the Fukushima nuclear plant. Where she lives, residents are eager to help others more directly affected by the disasters. "Almost every store window, every street corner has a sign of encouragement, and there are school clubs collecting disaster donations," she says.
Funkhouser was one of six North Central students studying in Japan when the 9.0 earthquake struck at 12:45 a.m. Central Standard Time. Long before most Chicagoans awoke, North Central's Office of International Programs staff, including Bessma Shammas, secretary, Amber Kettmann, graduate assistant, and Jack Shindler, professor of English and director of international programs, were in action, contacting students in Japan. Within hours, all were accounted for as safe.
"We were able to get in touch with our partners over there," says Shindler. "Having close relationships with the heads of those programs is very important."
Funkhouser and Japanese and global studies major Gina Fazio '12 decided to stay in Japan while four others returned home. Mitch Graham '12, who's majoring in Japanese and psychology, was studying at Kanda University of International Studies, about an hour south of Tokyo. "I was getting messages on my cell phone—alarms saying there was a 70 percent chance of another quake of 7.0 or stronger. That, plus the nuclear concerns," prompted Graham to catch a flight out of Tokyo's Narita International Airport on March 14.
The disasters affected others in the North Central community. Japanese students studying in Naperville as part of an international exchange program were concerned about their friends and family. There are dozens of North Central alumni living in Japan and North Central staff contacted many to determine that they were safe.
An alumnus who studied and lived in Japan for more than six years, Brian Hampson '03 and his wife Mika have raised more than $1,000. They are donating the funds to the website directrelief.org/EmergencyResponse/2011/JapanEarthquakeTsunami.aspx. They started a blog, japanneedshelp2011.blogspot.com/ to help with relief efforts.

Mark D. Gershman, Emily S. Jentes, Rhett J. Stoney (YELLOW FEVER) Kathrine R. Tan, Paul M. Arguin, Stefanie F. Steele (MALARIA)
The following pages present country-specific information on yellow fever vaccine requirements and recommendations (see Table 3–26) and malaria transmission information and prophylaxis recommendations. Fifteen country-specific maps of malaria transmission areas, 10 country-specific maps depicting yellow fever vaccine recommendations, and reference maps of 2 countries are included to aid in interpreting the recommendations. The information was accurate at the time of publication; however, this information is subject to change at any time as a result of changes in disease transmission or, in the case of yellow fever, changing country entry requirements. Updated information, reflecting changes since publication, can be found in the online version of this book (www.cdc.gov/yellowbook) and on the CDC Travelers' Health website (www.cdc.gov/travel). General recommendations for other vaccines to consider during the pre-travel consultation can be found on the CDC Travelers' Health website (www.cdc.gov/travel).
Since publication of the 2014 edition of CDC Health Information for International Travel, additional country-specific data on the geographic risk of yellow fever virus (YFV) transmission was provided by certain countries and the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO). Based on a review of these data by CDC, the World Health Organization (WHO), PAHO, and other yellow fever and travel medicine experts, updated yellow fever vaccination recommendations were made for Argentina, Colombia, Peru, and Venezuela. Furthermore, an updated recommendation for the Democratic Republic of the Congo was made after an outbreak of yellow fever was confirmed in Katanga Province in early 2014.
Revaccination for yellow fever has been required by certain countries at 10-year intervals to comply with International Health Regulations (IHR). In 2014, the World Health Assembly (of WHO) adopted the recommendation to remove the 10-year booster dose requirement from the IHR as of June 2016. Once this change is instituted, a completed International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis will be valid for the lifetime of the vaccinee. It is uncertain when and if all countries with current yellow fever vaccination entry requirements will adopt this change.
In the United States, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) is considering the issue of the continued need for yellow fever vaccine boosters. In February 2015, ACIP approved a new recommendation that one dose of yellow fever vaccine provides long-lasting protection and is adequate for most travelers. The recommendations also identify specific groups of travelers who should receive additional doses and others for whom additional doses may be considered. The official recommendations were published after this edition went to press. For the most up-to-date information about yellow fever vaccine boosters, consult the CDC Travelers' Health website or the ACIP website (www.cdc.gov/vaccines/hcp/acip-recs/).
Ultimately, the clinician's decision whether or not to vaccinate any traveler must take into account the traveler's risk of being infected with YFV, country entry requirements, and individual risk factors for serious adverse events after yellow fever vaccination (such as age and immune status). For a thorough discussion of yellow fever and guidance for vaccination, see the Yellow Fever section earlier in this chapter.
The recommendations for malaria prevention include estimates of malaria risk to US travelers. These estimates are based on numbers of malaria cases reported in US travelers and the estimated volume of travel to these countries. In some instances, the risk may be low because the actual intensity of transmission is low in that country. In other instances, malaria transmission may occur only in small focal areas of the country where US travelers seldom go. Thus, even though the risk for the average traveler to that country may be low, the risk for the rare traveler going to the areas with higher transmission intensity will be higher. For some countries rarely visited by US travelers, insufficient information exists to make a risk estimate. Information about malaria species present in each country is based on the best available data from multiple sources.
Several medications are available for malaria chemoprophylaxis. When deciding on which drug to use, clinicians should consider the specific itinerary, length of trip, cost of the drugs, previous adverse reactions to antimalarials, drug allergies, and medical history.
For a thorough discussion of malaria and guidance for prophylaxis, see the Malaria section earlier in this chapter.
Requirements: Required if traveling from a country with risk of YFV transmission and ≥1 year of age, including transit >12 hours in an airport located in a country with risk of YFV transmission.1 This requirement includes São Tomé and Principe, and excludes Panama, South Sudan, and Trinidad and Tobago. This country considers the certificate of YF vaccination to be valid for life if applied 10 days before traveling. (Updated October 5, 2015)
Recommendations: None
Areas with malaria: Present throughout the country and in Roatán and other Bay Islands. None in San Pedro Sula and Tegucigalpa.
Estimated relative risk of malaria for US travelers: Moderate.
Drug resistance4: None.
Malaria species: P. vivax 93%, P. falciparum 7%.
Recommended chemoprophylaxis: Atovaquone-proguanil, chloroquine, doxycycline, mefloquine, or primaquine.5
See Health Information for Travelers to Honduras.
Yellow Fever
1 The official WHO list of countries with risk of YFV transmission can be found in Table 3-21. Proof of yellow fever vaccination should be required only if traveling from a country on the WHO list, unless otherwise specified. The following countries, containing only areas with low potential for exposure to YFV, are not on the WHO list: Eritrea, São Tomé and Príncipe, Somalia, Tanzania, Zambia.
2 An elevation of 2,300 m is equivalent to 7,546 ft.
3 This risk estimate is based largely on cases occurring in US military personnel who travel for extended periods of time with unique itineraries that likely do not reflect the risk for the average US traveler.
4 Refers to P. falciparum malaria unless otherwise noted.
5 Primaquine can cause hemolytic anemia in people with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency. Patients must be screened for G6PD deficiency before starting primaquine.
Yellow Fever Maps
1 Yellow fever (YF) vaccination is generally not recommended in areas where there is low potential for YF virus exposure. However, vaccination might be considered for a small subset of travelers to these areas who are at increased risk for exposure to YF virus because of prolonged travel, heavy exposure to mosquitoes, or inability to avoid mosquito bites. Consideration for vaccination of any traveler must take into account the traveler's risk of being infected with YF virus, country entry requirements, and individual risk factors for serious vaccine-associated adverse events (e.g., age, immune status).
2 Current as of September 2014. This map, which aligns with recommendations also published by the World Health Organization (WHO), is an updated version of the 2010 map created by the Informal WHO Working Group on the Geographic Risk of Yellow Fever.

Much more than a survey of contemporary policy debates, the student profiles in The Graduates offer a first-hand perspective on the challenges facing many Latino high school students, including over-crowded schools, crime-ridden neighborhoods, teen pregnancy, and pressure to contribute to the family finances. The Graduates/Los Graduados is an eye-opening introduction to many of the determined and resilient young people who will shape America's future.
The Graduates/Los Graduados premieres on Independent Lens on two consecutive Mondays, October 28, 2013 and November 4, 2013, at 9pm. The program will also be presented in Spanish on the Spanish-language channel V-me and online at PBS.org. The Graduates/Los Graduados is funded by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting in association with Latino Public Broadcasting. The series is produced by Quiet Pictures (www.quietpictures.com) and the Independent Television Services (ITVS).
Visit The Graduates companion website (http://www.pbs.org/independentlens/graduates/) which features information about the film, including an interview with the filmmaker and links and resources pertaining to the film's subject matter. The site also features a Talkback section for viewers to share their ideas and opinions, preview clips of the film and more.
* * *
Each episode of The Graduates profiles three students who were in danger of dropping out of high school. The first hour of the series tells the stories of three young women who, through a combination of educational and community resources, as well as supportive families, are able to surmount the obstacles that might have prevented them from completing their education. In the second hour, we meet three young men who have struggled with challenges such as immigration status, brushes with the law, and bullying. With a combination of community and family support, each student is able to find a program that helps him to remain in school, further his education, and get involved in his community.
Episode 1 (October 28) – Girls
This episode looks at the special challenges faced by many Latina students through the stories of three remarkable young women:
Just before her sophomore year of high school, Darlene Bustos became pregnant and began to miss classes and fall behind. With multiple absences, her school district finally asked her to leave. Wanting not only to provide a good example for her son, Alex, but to catch up academically and graduate, Darlene enrolled herself in a program for at-risk students in Tulsa, Oklahoma. At the same time, she enrolled Alex in a Head Start program. Now both she and Alex are working towards graduation day and beyond.
Stephanie Alvarado lives with her family, who emigrated from El Salvador, on the south side of Chicago. Her school is under-resourced and the ever-present metal detectors make it feel more like a prison than a school. But Stephanie joined Voices of Youth in Chicago Education, which aims to decrease the city's dropout rate through projects like a peer jury, where students discuss and determine solutions for their peers who have committed a minor infraction. Stephanie's grades improved dramatically and she has begun participating in other activities, including a once-in-a-lifetime student trip to help to build schools in Senegal.
After her family became homeless, Chastity Salas coped as well as she could, but her strong sense of responsibility toward her family threatened to interfere with her education. Luckily, school staff recognized her problems and provided the support she needed to stay in school. Through the services of a Children's Aid Society student success coordinator, she was able to discuss personal concerns as well as get the guidance she needed to complete college applications. Chastity recently graduated from Fannie Lou Hamer Freedom High School in the South Bronx and is headed to college in the fall.
Episode 2 (November 4) – Boys
This episode profiles three young Latinos who have overcome enormous challenges, through the help of family, friends and community organizations, en route to completing their education:
Eduardo Corona's parents moved to San Diego from Mexico to ensure that their children would get a good education. But because both parents worked long hours, Eduardo and his siblings were often unsupervised and soon fell into a life of gangs and violence. Luckily, Eduardo met Chris Yanov, founder of Reality Changers, a college-prep organization that turned his life around. When Eduardo was arrested, and facing six years in prison, Chris stood by him and challenged him to focus on his schoolwork. As a result, Eduardo went on to college. Now he's a Reality Changers counselor himself, serving as a role model and helping others turn their lives around.
Gustavo Madrigal of Griffin, Georgia started school in the U.S. in fifth grade, after being brought from Mexico by his undocumented parents. They emphasized academics and set high standards, but Gustavo's undocumented status presented serious barriers when the time came to apply to college. He became a DREAM Act activist and enrolled in Freedom University, which offers courses to prepare undocumented students for college work and helps them to apply and find scholarships.
Juan Bernabe came to Lawrence, Massachusetts from the Dominican Republic with his mother at age 11. In his freshman year, he came out as gay. Feeling isolated and discouraged, Juan was on the verge of dropping out but the performing arts kept him in school, giving him the means to express himself and gain confidence. It also helped him academically, since students in the program must keep their grades up in order to perform. Juan choreographed a prize-winning foxtrot in the dance competition and found another outlet for his creativity as a writer for the student-run newspaper.

text: This is for those of you who are curious about going more natural or organic. I'm not claiming to be an expert; I'm just like you, wading through unchartered waters and sifting through the countless new products that keep popping up in this new and growing field. I'll admit though that I have a slight advantage because I get a box on my doorstep every week from companies wanting me to try theirs! So after a year of trying them out on myself and on my clients, I'm bringing you my favorite natural cleanser, mask, blemish lotion, serum, moisturizing balm, foundation and mineral BB cream! They range in prices ($14.99 for the serum to $130 for the repairing balm) making them a little more expensive than what we're used to paying for each, but that's only because they use actual flowers, herbs, minerals and plants instead of less expensive chemicals. So one way to look at it is we're letting our dollar be our voice… the more natural products sell in the marketplace, the more companies will see the demand for them and we'll see a shift that will eventually result in lower prices.

NATURAL RESOURCE PARTNERS BLUEGRASS JUNIORBellefonte Country ClubAshland, KentuckyJune 22-25, 2004
KINKER AND COLLINS SIT ATOP LEADERBOARD ENTERING FINAL ROUNDHong and Blackwelder share Girls Division lead
ASHLAND, Ky. â Nathan Kinker of Barboursville, W. Va., and Teddy Collins of Prospect, Ky. each carded a two-round total of 136 for the lead of the Natural Resource Partners Bluegrass Junior at the Bellefonte Country Club. In the Girls Division, Jennifer Hong of Windermere, Fla., and Mallory Blackwelder of Versailles, Ky., finished with matching 4-over-par 144s to top the leaderboard going into the final round. Conducted by the American Junior Golf Association, the Natural Resource Partners Bluegrass Junior features 120 players, 93 boys and 27 girls ages 12-18 from 22 states and Canada. The 54-hole stroke play event is being held at the Bellefonte Country Club for the 21st consecutive year. Kinker, who used consistency to his benefit on Thursday, made par on nearly every hole. The Kentucky native carded only one birdie and one bogey on the day.âI have been hitting the driver off every tee and bombing them right down the middle. I need to enter the final round with the goal of playing consistent golf like I have been the last two days,â Kinker said. âI am confident that if I just play my game in the next round I will come out on top.â Collins, whose highlight in Thursdayâs round was a chip in for eagle on No. 11, hopes that a win tomorrow will take him one step closer to his year-end goal of qualifying for AJGAâs Canon Cup.âI plan to go out tomorrow with a focus on my putting. I have to be sure that they are going uphill so that I can be aggressive with each one,â the 18-year-old Collins said. âThe greens are faster so putting is becoming increasingly important.âFellow Kentucky native Michael Haverfield of Louisville, is sitting three strokes behind the leaders entering the final round after carding a solid 69-70â139.Blackwelder of Versailles, Ky., who finished round two at 71-73â174, played last yearâs tournament with a dislocated shoulder she suffered in a car wreck. She finally feels that her game is back after the injury.âI hit really the ball well on the front but Iâm disappointed in my performance on the back,â Blackwelder said. âI just have to focus on coming in tomorrow and playing my own game. I canât get caught up in what the other girls are shooting.âSharing the leaderboard with Blackwelder is Florida native Jennifer Hong of Windermere. She was disappointed in her round, but heads into Friday with a 70-74â144. Hong says that she needs to reevaluate her game before the final round.âI worried too much today about individual holes and so I made some mental mistakes,â stated Hong. âI need go out there tomorrow with the same mindset on every hole and just have fun.âThe American Junior Golf Association is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to the overall growth and development of young men and women who aspire to earn college golf scholarships through competitive junior golf.

Merry Mindmuck & Happy Paradigm Shift!
Yeah. You know what I'm talkin' about. What you thought you knew is rendered totally false; and none of us quite know how to deal with it.
Let's see… in recent days we have learned the following:
The Yankees DON'T always get what they want.
The Red Sox have TWO closers, neither of which commands any fear.
And Al Qaeda is going ALL OUT to make this Christmas a very special one to remember.
Er… wait… that was…
I'm just glad that children's choir Christmas concerts in Racine, WI will always maintain the traditional standards of the holiday season:
Oh well.
Like they say, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em.
Hate me 'cuz I be trolololololol'n, just don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.
Happy Friday!
5 Comments
Trololo, eh? Ummm… yeah… not so much… {shudder}…
Not sure what we'll think yet of Jenks, but we have been clamoring for Papelbomb to be traded (even last off-season), so that would be a plus. I'm hoping that will force the issue.
Take care, Jeff and Allen!
Boston is actually looking into possibly bringing in LHP Brian Fuentes too, which would give them a closer Du Jour format, or leftie-rightie closer specialists…or a combination of all of the above.
And they brought in set-up man Dan Wheeler to possibly enter the game in the sixth inning followed by a combination of Papelbon, Jenks, Bard and possibly Fuentes.
I still think it was to keep a few closers off the market make a few teams weak at the back end of the Bullpen….But I sometimes like to think up conspiracy theories.
But then again, our owner lives and stays most of the time in NY…..
Rays Renegade
That song will definitely be on the top pick list for American Idol contestants, but what the hell is with all the Russian script is WI a Baltic State or part of Russia or Ukraine or some other off the wall USSR spin off…
At least 3 of the kids were inventive with their masks.
I think you're being a little unfair to Papelbon and Jenks; they had underwhelming years, but both have gotten the big outs in the post-season.
My main site has been re-designed. Check it out.
Greg — I look forward to the BoSox in 2011. They mean BUSINESS!
RR — Well, they might not all be lights out anymore, but that combo sure is loaded with experience.
Peter — I dunno why the Cyrillic jumped in there. Maybe a Russian immigrant was the videographer. Stranger things have happened.
Prince — You're probably right… but for dramatic effect, I gotta go big or go home. And I don't have a home so I have no choice😉

NPR's much buzzed-about showcase delivers a varied approach to SXSW.
In a festival everyone seeks to stand out, Connan Mockasin makes it look easy.
Austin may be known for Mexican food, and for good reason. But that's far from the only notable cuisine you'll find in Austin.
When just before SXSW 2014, the Coachwhips announced they'd reunite for the festival in the original lineup, garage rockers worldwide let out a collective hoot.
Charli XCX reinvents her style as an exuberant brand of New Wave Pop.
SXSW still rocked. No doubt about that. But there was more Electronic Music & Hip Hop on display than ever before.

Former Iowa mayor gets jail time for theft
The former mayor of Scarville has been given 30 days in jail and four years of probation for stealing from her northern Iowa town.
Michelle Hermanson, 42, had pleaded guilty to theft and to tampering with records. She was sentenced Tuesday in Winnebago County District Court.
Authorities say Hermanson stole about $10,100 from the city. Her thefts were discovered during a special investigation by the state auditor's office. Hermanson must pay restitution as well.
Former city clerk Jolene Carter's crimes also were discovered by the investigation. In December Carter was sentenced to jail and ordered to pay restitution.

Hawaii Congresswoman Colleen Hanabusa told KITV on Thursday that the House had already recessed that morning, there was nothing on the agenda the next day, and she said House members had no plans to reconvene until Monday.
"Unfortunately it does not look good," said Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard.
Lawmakers added worrisome words from Hawaii's congressional delegation on Thursday as they began preparing for damage control, while trying to soften the blow.
"It's going to be a while before we actually feel the impact of sequestration and there will be an impact," she said.
"It's like a mess that's leaking all over the place and the more it leaks the worse the mess becomes," said Lt. Col. Chuck Anthony, spokesperson for the Hawaii National Guard.
He said 1100 Hawaii National Guard soldiers, who work as federal technicians will be furloughed one day week, which would be equivalent to a 20% pay cut.
He said a couple hundred temporary technicians may be laid off all together, having a dangerous effect on their ability to respond to domestic disasters, he said.
"Let's say we get into summertime and there are a lot of brushfires and things. We may not be able to generate as many helicopters as we would," he said.
"We need to be prepared for a roll out of contingencies," said Gov. Neil Abercrombie who has already budgeted $25 million to counter the effects of sequestration on the islands.
But his budget director said the impact could be millions of dollars more, affecting not only the military, but everything from the Meals on Wheels program to infectious disease control.
"We're also going to see an impact on low-income housing, Section-8 vouchers, and on special education for federal funding," said Gabbard.
"The immediate question is not what will happen on Friday, because this will take some time to unfold, but whether or not there will be a complete shutdown of the government within a month," said Abercrombie.
If congress can't figure out how to extend funding by March 27th the government could shut down altogether.
Lt. Col. Anthony said that will have a huge impact on the military, drastically cut flight hours, and put disaster readiness in a stand-still.
Hanabusa plans to introduce a bill to transfer authority to the Defense Department, in the event a shutdown occurs.

I've tried contacting my local LLL leader about this, to no avail. 5 days later and she hasn't answered any emails, and refused to deal with me unless I call. I'm reluctant to call, because if she's too busy to respond via email I don't want to bother her. Yeah, I'll call with a screaming baby.
My 3 and a half month old daugther has been doing this weird head twisting thing for about a week now. With my nipple in her mouth she is turning her head down into my breast, to where her face gets buried. Obviously this hurts because she doesn't let go, but mostly it makes for a long nursing session because she's not sucking while doing this. I don't get it. My nipples hurt as a result. I thought maybe she was doing it because of an ear infection, but she does it on both sides, even if I prop her up so her ears are exposed.
So then I though maybe it was thrush, since it can be painful to nurse, and my nipples are sore, but I don't know if they're sore because of her twisting them, or from thrush. She doesn't have a white tongue (which I read is a symptom).
I'm so confused. I'm reluctant to go to the pediatrician because I don't want her to end up on antibiotics for a "supposed" infection, so I thought I'd see if this seems familiar to anyone first.
It seems worse in the evenings when she gets tired, then she won't nurse, and when she does she yanks on my nipple.
What could it be?

Cultivating the world's finest quinoa
13,000 feet up on the arid, desolate Solar De Uyuni salt flat of Bolivia, traditional Quechua and Aymara farmers tend to fields of highly coveted "quinoa real," or royal quinoa, an ancient variety grown only in this very spot. This pearl-shaped, nearly perfect nutrition source was so revered by the Incas that they called it "chisaya mama" or "mother grain." The wild crunch of our Royal Black Quinoa pairs well with bright herbs and bold flavor combinations.
Nourishing Foodie, Farmer and Field
As committed food activists, we travel far and wide to bring you the world's most exotic, delicious and sustainable foods.
Suggested Use
Cooking Instructions

Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover and cook until liquid is absorbed and germ has spiraled out, about 20 minutes.
Flavor tip: Before adding liquid, saute quinoa in pan with a dash of olive oil until slightly toasted, about five minutes.
Other Ingredients
100% organic royal black quinoa.

If you're reading this, you probably already know that Quinoa is something that you ought to be eating; It's nature's most perfect protein and it's worth noting that it's especially high in Lysine, a quality that's somewhat rare in plant-based protein. Compared to light-colored varieties, Royal Black Quinoa has a slightly earthier, nuttier flavor and its rich, dark color provides more visual appeal than common Quinoa's oatmeal-like appearance. It can be prepared simply, as rice, but I like it best when it's cooked with coconut milk, as part of a vegetarian curry; Try adding macadamias to your prepared quinoa — it's delicious. I like that Alter Eco, Royal Black Quinoa, is both organic and fairly-traded, and the price is reasonable. I only wish that it were available in larger quantities.
I'm not sure just how to pronounce this but what I hear most often is key-no-a. I speak English but I'm amazed at how often I'm correceted on how to pronounce things. Quinoa is a pretty new item I think to most of us in the USA. I have been selling a lot of it on here and I've only been selling on here for about 2 weeks. I've sold about 6 bags in that time. I have a bag at home myself. I work at a grocery store and IHerb sells this for 3.00 cheaper, so you can see that their prices are good and fair. A woman at the store says that Quinoa is a very healthy and gluten free product. She recommended using it in any of your pasta salad recipes and says it is very tasty. I have yet to try it, but everyone I ask about it seems to be raving about it. If you found this review helpful please click on the yes button.

Love this as an alternative to regular blonde quinoa. A bit sticker than the white quinoa, it seems, and a bit nuttier in taste. Just gorgeous - this is a staple in our home.
Quinoa yes!

I don't use it often enough, which is a shame because it is really tasty and looks great when paired with bright coloured veggies.

cooks just like any other colored quinoa. makes a beautiful backdrop for bright colored veggies ;D

October 2, 2013 —
Noting that they "understand the important needs of the county's aging population and the integration of the boomer generation," the Wayne County Commissioners on September 19 proclaimed September as 2013 Senior Center Month in Wayne County.
The board recognized the efforts of staff and volunteers at the Hamlin, Hawley and Honesdale centers.
Traditionally providing a nutritious meal, a place to gather and connect with friends, the centers have helped keep seniors participating members of the community. Wayne County Human Services Director Andrea Whyte said the centers are like a senior home for services. "It helps to keep people involved and aware of what's going on."
Additionally they offer health and wellness programs, transportation, educational and recreation activities.
Keeping current, they have also undertaken newer programs like notary services, a health insurance counseling program, APPRISE; and LINK, which is described as "the first place to go to get accurate, unbiased information on all aspects of life related to aging or living with a disability."
Commissioner Wendell Kay, who is an attorney, lauded the APPRISE program which is really needed to deal with complicated government health plans. "I just took a Continuing Law Education (CLE) course on Medicare and Medicaid, and they are extremely complicated."
Commissioner Jonathan Fritz said he had "a strong appreciation" for the centers' staff saying "the hallmark of a caring society is the care it takes with its seniors."
On the Internet, visit aging.co.wayne.pa.us/adrc-2/ for more information about LINK; and for more about APPRISE, visit aging.co.wayne.pa.us/senior-centers/apprise-health-insurancefinancial-assistance-counseling-program, or call 570/253-4262 for more about any area agency on aging program.
In other business at the meeting, Whyte submitted the fourth quarter, 2012-13 fiscal year report for county drug and alcohol programs, which listed a cost of $631,919. She said alcohol, heroin and prescription drug abuse are the biggest county problems. Abuse occurs in "a younger population than you might think," she said.
Whyte said the program handled some 600 people last year. "That's a lot for a county our size. Originally we had 90 people, and not that long ago," she said.
Kay wondered if it was an increase or a statistical change caused by more reporting. "My sense tells me more people now realize this is a problem," he said.
