What's Next in Association Finance
The rough economy has forced many associations to make tough decisions. But how will those decisions, and others, play out over the long term? A group of association finance experts weigh in on what changes may be in store.
In the past year, the economy has forced many associations to make tough decisions—spending down reserves, laying off staff, relocating offices, or closing them altogether, just to name a few. We've all seen the immediate impact. But how will those decisions, and others, play out over the long term?
In the conversation captured below, a continuation of the roundtable presented in the January 2010 Associations Now feature article "Navigating the New Economy," Andrew S. Lang of LangCPA Consulting and a select group of association finance experts discuss how they think ongoing fallout from the recession will affect associations and nonprofit organizations, as well as other big changes that could be looming on the horizon for the entire sector.
Efficiency and Governance
Andrew S. Lang, LangCPA Consulting, LLC: Are you seeing associations making reductions in governance structures, and if so, is it in order to save money or for other reasons?
Ted Browning, Johnson Lambert & Co.: I'm not sure it's driven exclusively financially. I think it's driven by associations realizing their structures are unwieldy.
John Langan, LarsonAllen LLP: I believe it's in large part a byproduct of the passage of Sarbanes-Oxley.
Joan Schweizer, Deloitte & Touche LLP: But it's not directly related to the economy.
Ted Browning: I have several clients that can no longer get a volunteer to serve as treasurer. When this happens and the member declines to accept the position, the association has had to use a senior staff member in this officer position. I'm talking about national associations that are made up of sophisticated businesspeople who are saying, "I don't need the responsibility of being treasurer," because of the perceived risk.
Andrew Lang: Associations are cutting staff when they have to and back-office staff is not infrequently a target; are you seeing more or less efficiency as a result?
Charles Tate, Tate & Tryon: Unfortunately, efficiency was not always a priority until the economic downturn. Staff reductions are forcing associations to consider more efficient processes by leveraging technology with skilled individuals. I believe there are significant opportunities to reduce costs while increasing efficiency and controls, but it will require people who can use the technology.
John Langan: We're seeing [reductions in force], but we're not seeing increases in efficiency. Therein lies the concern over controls. We go in and ask the question: "Has the change in staff, either in finance or in the programs, reduced controls?" We can usually, at least from my perspective, get comfortable that they have addressed it in some way, but there's only so many hours in the day. They can only look at so much.
Joan Schweizer: Where organizations have had money and have started investment in technology, they are more efficient. I'm seeing a lot more clients that [previously invested] money [in technology]; they're doing everything electronically now, and they are much more efficient. But fewer associations are investing money in technology today. The ones that started changing their technology a year or two ago are much more efficient now.
Ted Browning: Several clients have learned that this is a great time to contract for IT projects. One of our large clients indicated that, "This gives us an opportunity to upgrade our systems." Those organizations are able to take advantage of the thin market for systems consultants to invest in major systems. The IT consulting firms are willing to provide price concessions during this slow time.
Andrew Lang: For years now, I have heard a variety of comments on the benefits versus the detriments of financial, human resource, and IT outsourcing. Are you seeing an increase in outsourcing based on the economy, and where are the best results coming from?
Tom Raffa, RAFFA PC: We are certainly seeing an increase in all types of outsourcing, including accounting, HR, and technology.
At the same time, some of the larger outsourcing clients are looking at outsourcing arrangements, since they are often big line items, and asking, "Is it better to bring it in house?" The right answer to that question depends on the circumstances, but I think if it's been operating very smoothly and cost efficiently, they should seriously consider leaving matters as they stand—this is an important time to have a dependable flow of information.
John Langan: I'm seeing an uptick in our outsourcing business, as well. I see it more as a competency issue in the finance shop, because they're so reliant now on getting timely, accurate, good numbers. They need that finance step now more than ever.
Andrew Lang: So it's more about the quality and reliability of the data than it is about the cost savings, even in the current economy. Are there no areas of outsourcing where we're seeing significant cost savings?
Tom Raffa: If the technology within an organization is lagging operations, then moving to an outsourcing model with a firm that will put in new systems as a part of the transition to outsourced accounting, technology, or HR will absolutely save dollars. Another advantage when outsourcing is the organization's ability to "dial down" their needs from any of the service offerings quickly and without the problems we all know come with formal staff reductions.
Responding to the New 990
"Many [boards] were thinking about tax returns as privileged information. I don't think they really made that connection about the importance of the [Form] 990 as a public disclosure document until recently."
Andrew Lang: What percentage of your clients made changes to their policies and procedures based on the revised 990s?
Ted Browning: I'd say a high percentage, but they were minor changes. For example, I don't know anybody that didn't say, "We have to distribute our 990 before we file it." I don't know anybody that was doing that formally before, but I also didn't see that as a big deal.
Tom Raffa: I think the most important thing was just awareness. At a board level there wasn't really an awareness of the 990 and what it represented. If you're talking about the board members of a professional or a trade association, many were thinking about tax returns as privileged information. I don't think they really made that connection about the importance of the 990 as a public disclosure document until recently.
Charles Tate: Most of our clients had policies and procedures in place even though may not have been formally documented. The new Form 990 provides an opportunity to take an outside look at how the public sees the organization and to better document how it operates.
Andrew Lang: Are you seeing concern on the part of clients regarding potential member, third-party, or press questions about the compensation details that are now revealed in the 990?
John Langan: Certainly they are seriously considering the (c)(6) additional disclosure relative to compensation—that's been a substantial issue.
Andrew Lang: How are we educating them for the increased disclosure, and what they should be aware of?
Charles Tate: We are doing tons of education. The hottest issue is compensation reporting, which is one of the reasons many organizations are reluctant to provide the Form 990 to their full board. We also observed some organizations waiting until the very last day to file, hoping to find out how their peers were reporting.
John Langan: I'm interested to see what the membership and the staff will be saying when they see that public information. Be ready. Be ready when your CFO or someone else pulls the 990 of another association and sees what their peer is making.
Ted Browning: I'm also convinced that the new 990 issue will be more interesting when people begin to use new search and comparison tools to make comparisons among and between organizations to decide which ones are more efficient in providing service. The press knows how to get whatever information they want anyway; it's not a mystery to them. But it'll be really interesting when almost anyone can and will perform searches, make comparisons, and develop effectiveness ratios on their own.
Big Questions
Andrew Lang: Let's talk about some big questions. The government is running a vast deficit. It's getting bigger every day. Do you think they might revoke the tradeshow exemption from UBIT? What about changing other fundamental elements of tax-exempt status?
Charles Tate: I don't think they will.
John Langan: We as an industry need to get beyond controlling risk and say, "What is out there that could really transform associations?" And as you look at the encroachment—maybe that's a pejorative word—of government on making sure that everybody's held accountable, you have to look at the cost-benefit of exemption. The subsidy is in reserves performance and in tradeshow performance, because that typically is what's producing the profit that goes to the bottom line. If they really understand our model and where we're making money, look out.
Andrew Lang: Some people have argued that tax-exempt status for associations is not worth the administrative and public relations costs. Does anyone have a client who has given up their exempt status?
Tom Raffa: Yes. It is not as frequent a consideration as it might start to be with all the extensive disclosures on the new Form 990, but it is something we have evaluated for several clients … and the reasons vary. For one recent case, the association's alternative revenue streams (that were UBI) began to overtake their true exempt purpose.
Andrew Lang: Are you recommending that as a strategy?
Tom Raffa: No. What we are doing much more of specifically when we take the client into alternative revenue sources and explore new products and services for them that we think may be UBI, we're starting up LLCs and for-profit subsidiaries and paying the tax at the subsidiary level. But generally, I wouldn't see much value in giving up exemption.
Ted Browning: I am familiar with one organization that never was exempt, and in their case it was a good strategy. It had to do with the costs that offset unrelated revenues and the limited ability to cross-subsidize member services.
John Langan: I have not seen people walk away from their exempt status, but I would say, based on the education around what's required in the (c)(6)
community around the 990, they ask that question. We have to address that question. I would not recommend that they walk away, but I expect to get that question over the next two years.
But it also goes to the brand of that association. To revoke your own tax-exempt status because you don't want to disclose is just not a winner.
Ted Browning: I see more organizations that may be formed to act like associations that won't be exempt. I think there will be a commercial model that will be effective in competing with associations.
Andrew Lang: Speaking of commercial models, how much for-profit competition are you seeing directed against particular products that your associations have? Do you think it constitutes a threat? Or do you think it's eased up because of the recession?
Joan Schweizer: I'm not necessarily seeing that much more.
Ted Browning: I wouldn't say they're targeting the association. I think what they're playing off is their belief that they can deliver information better, quicker, faster.
John Langan: They're showing a competitive edge at delivering the information, probably using technology. What the associations still have going for them is volunteer-driven content that they don't have to pay for, that those competitors have to pay for. The big concern is open access and the fact that everybody wants it for nothing once it's on the web. If you can't protect it, show its value, and have it be relevant because of how you deliver it, then that's a business risk.
Andrew Lang: It may be because of my focus on maximizing nondues revenue, but I am regularly seeing commercial aggression against associations. I'm seeing people who say, "That product works, and we're going to build a competitor to it." I also see new and existing for-profit magazines targeting specific association advertisers, especially when the organization is weak.
Let me wrap this up with the biggest of the big questions: Assume you are now speaking to a room full of association CEOs, large budgets and small,
(c)(6)s and (c)(3)s. What would your best advice be for the 12 months ahead?
Ted Browning: Use this time requiring a hard look at how you do what you do best and prepare to take advantage of the need for your services when the economy turns around. Learn to be efficient while preparing to be valuable. You are in a unique position as a resource for your constituents; be ready for the good times.
John Langan: Changes that have been made at associations to address the recession were to some extent just tough business decisions that should be made in any economy. Adapt and prosper in the "new normal."
Tom Raffa: For those of us that have been around for awhile, we have seen much of this before. For the next year, margins will shrink for all businesses. The unique thing about this recession is the extent of government intervention. A true recovery will not occur until unemployment can be put in check. But before that happens we are likely to see more aggressive inflation, which will force the Fed to raise interest rates. All organizations need to consider their cost of money as this unfolds.
Charles Tate: Start with the financial component of the strategic plan. Look at new sources of revenue, dues restructuring, and personnel, which is the largest controllable cost. Emphasize process improvement and technology, and staff costs can be held in check.

Online Extra: Next Steps
Joan Schweizer: We are starting to see some recovery in the economy. As a result, the focus on resources is starting to change. Associations should continue to maintain lean and efficient organizations; we have all learned from this recession how much we can really cut and save, and we should continue to monitor spending. Organizations should focus on their key people; as the economy recovers, more job opportunities will open, and talented people will have many more opportunities. Finally, organizations should focus on the quality of their programs. Competition has and will continue to be fierce, and those organizations that are top of class will be most successful.

We recently attended a wedding where homemade wine was served with special wedding day labels. We have saved a few empty bottles and would like to fill them as a Christmas gift to the newleyweds. We can't sterilize the bottles as we want to keep the labels intact. Any suggestions what we could fill the bottles with? Thanks,

Well, my wife and I had a bottle of champagne on our honeymoon and before we left the place we spent our honeymoon we filled the empty bottle with soil from that place. Since then it has been our tradition to have a bottle of champagne on our anniversary and fill it with soil from where ever we spend that occasion.
I want, when the lord takes us home, the soil to be emptied into our grave. Hopefully there are a lot of bottles :-) Just fill one of the bottles with sand and type a story of where and what the sand is a symbol of. I think this would be a great Christmas gift.

Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the volume and quality of traffic to a web site from search engines via "natural" ("organic" or "algorithmic") search results. Usually, the earlier a site is presented in the search results, or the higher it "ranks", the more searchers will visit that site. SEO can also target different kinds of search, including image search, local search, and industry-specific vertical search engines.
A sitemap is a way of organizing a website, identifying the URLs and the data under each section. Previously, the sitemaps were primarily geared for the users of the website. However, Google's XML format was designed for the search engines, allowing them to find the data faster and more efficiently.

Collaborative Encyclopedia a collaborative project started by Erich Viedge and rocketed to prominence by Roger Brown.
Wikipedia has become a major source of information for many people. Therefor it makes sense to have Toastmasters listed on all languages that Wikipedia offers. Right now Drupal is listed in 7 languages which is good but we can expand this to even more languages and we can make the current information better. For example, the English entry of Drupal is rather good but still needs some work, about local languages by example. Some other languages sometimes only have a oneliner or are old and outdated. So here is a call to everyone that has a browser and can write in one or more languages: go to Wikipedia, search for your language(s) and start an entry about "Toastmasters" or make the current one better. Note that it does not have to be limited to the term "Toastmasters" itself, you can write as well about for example Communication, Public speaking, Speaking contest, leadership. If you ever wanted to contribute to our Toastmasters Marketing project but can not write quality documentation pages, this is a very good way to contribute. And if we all do this, we can make sure we can have more languages covering Toastmasters and have better information about Toastmasters! So show your love and start writing about Toastmasters on Wikipedia but remember: keep it unbiased, factual and fair!

Manning suffers dent to his wholesome image
(Reuters) - Peyton Manning's reputation as the National Football League's most bankable player took a hit when he was among 10 athletes cited in a lawsuit filed by six former female students against the University of Tennessee.
The lawsuit, filed on Tuesday and first reported by The Tennessean, claims that the university violated Title IX regulations and created a "hostile sexual environment" through a policy of indifference toward assaults by student-athletes.
Title IX is a federal statute that bans discrimination along gender lines at schools that receive federal funding.
The suit cited nearly a dozen instances dating back to the mid-1990s of former student athletes accused of sexual assault, including star quarterback Manning who won his second Super Bowl title earlier this month, with the Denver Broncos.
Neither Manning's agent nor the Broncos were immediately available for comment.
The lawsuit alleges that in 1996, when Manning was quarterback for the Volunteers at the University of Tennessee (UT), he placed his naked genitals on the face of a female athletic trainer while she was examining him for an injury.
Manning, who was never the subject of a police investigation into the incident, has denied the allegations and said that he was instead "mooning" a team mate.
The trainer, Dr. Jamie Naughright, later sued Manning after he described her in a book as being "vulgar mouthed".
Malcolm Saxon, the player alleged by Manning to have been the target of the "mooning", refuted Manning's account in documents filed on Naughright's behalf in the case. Continued...

Botucatu School of Medicine - São Paulo State University, Botucatu, Brazil
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to compare treatment of empyema with primary chest tube thoracostomy (TUBE) to primary VATS for debridement and drainage to determine whether any of the methods is superior in terms of therapeutic evolution in our hospital.
METHODS: This study included all children with empyema who received inpatient care in a university hospital over the past four years. Data collected included information on age, gender, presenting symptoms, duration of symptoms, previous use of antibiotics, biochemical analysis of the fluid, organisms identified in the fluid, management modality adopted (TUBE or VATS), residence time of pleural drain, complications, need for re-intervention, and late radiologic evolution up to 4 months after hospital discharge.
RESULTS: A total of 53 patients were assessed. Of these, 31 were treated with TUBE and 22 with VATS. Age ranged from seven months to 14 years. The male gender slightly prevailed in 55% of the cases. Duration of symptoms ranged from one to 30 days, and did not differ between groups. The mean values of pH was 6,9, DHL 4062 and glucose 46. Bacterioscopy and/or cultures were positive in 22.6% of the cases, with streptococos pneumoniae predominance in both groups. Residence time of pleural drain varied from two to 23 days and there was a significant difference between groups. In the VATS group, the mean was four days, whereas in the TUBE group it was 10 days. In six patients of the TUBE group (19%), decortication was necessary. Drain replacement was needed by 8 patients treated with TUBE (25%). Only one patient with a drain placed after VATS (9%) required replacement and none need re-intervention. Radiologic evolution over the first two months after discharge was slightly improved in the VATS group, and reached normality in both groups after four months.
CONCLUSION: VATS was more effective than TUBE in the treatment of empyema.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: With VATS, residence time of pleural drain was shorter and no re-intervention was required resulting in early recovery and discharge.

If you don't want your boobs all over the Internet, stop flashing them!
Seriously, Taylor? We can't believe that you'd have the audacity to ask the audience at your concert in Los Angeles Oct. 26 to put down their cameras. If you don't want your boobs to be all over the Internet, you should stop flashing them when you're on stage in front of hundreds of people!
"I know this is the modern age and everyone's got cameras and cell phones and video cameras, but I'd really appreciate it if you'd put that f**king s**t down," the 17-year-old envelope pusher told the crowd at The Roxy.
She added, "I know it's very cool to videotape and put it on YouTube the next day. But, frankly, it completely takes away from the show. I'd thoroughly appreciate it if you'd put that s**t down and put your hands in the air…I want everyone's hands in the f**king air."
People's hands would probably be less on their camera shutters and more in the air if you didn't act crazy, Taylor! Also, you should be flattered your fans want to put your content on the web…it's making you popular!

Washington State Bigfoot
Washington State Bigfoot
Popular Bigfoot Video Starts Internet Frenzy!
April 18th, 2012, a video was posted on YouTube that
claimed two brothers who were taking turns riding an
ATV in a forest in Washington State had captured
footage of a Bigfoot (or possible prankster) crossing
the dirt path. The ATV had a video camera mounted
either on the 4-wheeler or on the rider. The video of
the Bigfoot received so-so response from viewers.
A screen capture of the Washington State
Bigfoot that later was claimed to be from Ohio. Huh?
A couple of months after the original
Washington State Bigfoot video posted,
someone took the video, zoomed in and
cropped it to create what they claim was
new Bigfoot footage from Grand River,
Ohio. This version of the same video
went viral quickly spreading and creating
an Internet frenzy. But when word spread,
it wasn't long before someone
remembered seeing the same video
elsewhere. Soon, the person who made
the newer, "Ohio" version had the video
pulled by YouTube due to copyright
the original video.
Zoomed and slowed analysis of the Washington State Bigfoot video:

Chapter OneMature
I was born Jessica Layne. My parents adopted me two years after my parents were killed in a 'car crash'. I was five. It wasn't until I turned ten that I found out the truth about my bloodline.
Midnight, the start of my tenth year of life, a mysterious white light came to me. From the light, a woman's voice spoke.
She called herself Selene. She told me that she was the goddess of the moon. She told me I was a Guardian. A protector of humans. And one of the few left of the original pure bloodlines. She told me the story of how she created them.
"Guardians are my second creation, the first being a failed attempt at the same idea. I took the most beautiful and pure of the human emotions and formed a spirit that was free of such things as anger and jealousy. Pure love and kindness in a physical form. Look, little one, at your true self."
I glanced at that mirror, my silver hair and eyes glowing in her light. But some thing had changed.
Dark silver ears, much like a cat's, and a tail.
The goddess touched my forehead, a calm warmth spreading through out my body. "You are my youngest Guardian, one of the few left. Stay safe, My little one..." And the light disappeared.
But she was not gone.
Eight years later, I told my parents. Then, I landed in the loony bin, the mental hospital. I waited for three months, feeling the pull of the moon each night. The next full moon, I clawed my way out, fighting and biting.
I disappeared into the night. Freedom at last, and a new fire sparking in my heart.
I smiled, my fangs glinting in the moonlight. "I am not crazy. I am free. And I am coming for you, Mom and Dad...

It helped Robitaille's appeal there is a strong hockey culture in the Dodgers organization. Kasten previously ran the Atlanta Thrashers and the Washington Capitals. Colletti grew up in Chicago as a fanatical Blackhawks fan and before becoming a baseball executive, was a former newspaper reporter who covered the Philadelphia Flyers in the early 1980s.
Kasten called it a "natural fit."
"First of all, Dodger Stadium is such a fantastic venue. We can do everything here and I think we're proving it," he said. "When I was in Washington, we planned to do an outdoor game and now I see that they're going to be getting one [in 2015]. It'll be great to have it here and I'm really excited about the very real prospect of coming to a hockey game in T-shirt and shorts and seeing palm trees in the background. That's just as cool as can be."
"For me to look out my window and see an ice-skating rink go up, I love it," Colletti added. "Growing up in Chicago, baseball was my spring and summer passion and hockey was my fall and winter passion. I've always followed it. As my career grew and changed, I found myself in a lot of different circles with people who do what I do – a peer group in a number of different sports.
"When Luc asked me, 'What do you think about having an outdoor game at Dodger Stadium?' I said, 'Oh, my gawd, you're asking the wrong guy, I'd say yes in a heartbeat.'"
The man in charge of making it work is Craig, who is used to working in traditional hockey markets, with traditional winter temperatures, to enhance the ice-making process.
"I've got guys who've been on this crew since 2005-06," Craig said, "and every time we do another event, we look at each other and say, 'One more chapter.' Nobody would ever dream we were doing this."
With one or two exceptions, the NHL usually tries to schedule the outdoor games during the day, but that wouldn't work here, where they're counting on the significant temperature drop once the sun goes down to keep the ice in place.
Craig's crew works a graveyard shift and once the sun rises in the morning, they cover the ice with a reflective, insulated tarpaulin. Craig's crew started putting the ice in last Thursday and needed five days to get it down. By Friday morning, they had the boards up and roughly 0.5 centimetres of ice down.
Weather permitting, they have tentatively scheduled a celebrity/media game to test it out Wednesday, and then the Ducks and Kings get to practise on it just once – next Friday, after the sun goes down.
Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau spent most of his childhood making ice in the backyard the traditional way – spraying water with a hose and then waiting for it to freeze. He, too, is flabbergasted at what is possible nowadays.
"They explained it to me … and I said, 'Well, that's cool. I'm glad you know what you're doing,'" Boudreau said. "There's no chance I could see how you could do it, on a day like today, when it's [27 C] and sunny out. It's not like it's a windy, cold dreary day, where you could come out here and say, 'See, that's what it's like here in January.'"
"Everywhere I go, people ask me all the time: 'How can they have ice when it's so warm?'" added Wayne Gretzky, the former Kings star who helped put hockey on the map in California. "I always say, people don't realize it's about [18 C] inside a hockey rink. It's not that cold. These ice people know what they're doing. They do a great job. The ice will be wonderful."
Last September, when the game was first announced, Ducks forward Dustin Penner predicted the venue would be bigger than the game itself – and that could well be.Report Typo/Error

Obama signs order outlining emergency Internet control | Internet & Media - CNET News
Jared Sperli stashed this in internet
Stashed in: The Web, Teh Internets
To save this post, select a stash from drop-down menu or type in a new one:
According to The Verge, critics of the order are concerned with Section 5.2, which is a lengthy part outlining how telecommunications and the Internet are controlled. It states that the Secretary of Homeland Security will "oversee the development, testing, implementation, and sustainment" of national security and emergency preparedness measures on all systems, including private "non-military communications networks." According to The Verge, critics say this gives Obama the on/off switch to the Web.

We then watched people who could actually do it. Fran, Kayleigh and Polly all got asked to dance. Kayleigh was hilarious...two left feet. I took a strategic toilet break. He he.

Copy of Tokyo on Foot
68 Tokyoites list their favorite spots. Themes include: "Uncool places in cool japan," "Places I like passing," and "Three restaurants with their origins in Japanese comfort food."
Smaller than most paperbacks, with thicker-than-average paper, so it's both durable and easy to carry around. Unfortunately it's out of print, but secondhand copies aren't hard to come by. There's also a nice app.

Field Trip

All Android applications categories
by: Niantic, Inc. • 13.6K
Published: 2013-05-17, by Manu Galvez.
Field Trip works in a pretty simple way (as it couldn't be otherwise coming out from Google): just install the app, select the mode (how often you want to be notified) and allow GPS features in your device. Field Trip will do the work. When you get to a place it will pop up a card with details about that or nearby location (including monuments, museums, restaurants, sports field...). No need to search for anything. Info simply comes to your mobile device as often as you allow it. If you are driving or you can't get the phone, there's a TTS option via headset or bluetooth.
Users can review cards shown. First off, they can report a problem, for example, if the card isn't interesting, has inappropriate or outdated content, bad image, etc. This way, Field Trip is made by users by choosing what content deserves to be read. Field Trip is fully integrated with Google Maps which makes easier getting directions to that place.
What makes Field Trip such interesting is the amount of publications it takes as sources to add cards to the app: TimeOut, Thrillist, Food Network, Zagat, Eater. Actually, it's difficult to find cards without enough reliable info.
Field Trip is specially useful when travelling or when you move to a new city. It helps you discover those hidden places otherwise you wouldn't have a chance to know about. Highly recommended.

The driver is secured in a cage in his section of the car! Bizarre. The vehicle is also like a dilapidated Lada.

Gorgeous rooms equipped with friendly, helpful staff: what more could a traveler want? The main sites in Kunming include the Stone Forest Geological Park and two temples: Yuantong and Bamboo.

Finally Charles decided to go back via the same way to meet with his friend at Tina's guest house but I decided to take the other route and join Sean's guest house.

Researchers from the University of Warwick, Coventry, United Kingdom have developed a new antiviral using naturally occurring influenza virus "protecting virus" that may defend against any influenza A virus in any animal host.
Human influenza virus A is not only responsible for seasonal disease in humans, it is also the cause of worldwide pandemics of which the last three resulted in millions of deaths all over the globe. Currently, live and killed vaccines countering specific strains of the flu are available, however a vaccine for a new pandemic strain would take months to develop. Also, increased resistance to antivirals currently on the market has emphasized the need for a new effective prophylactic and therapeutic treatment method.
The "protecting virus" contains an altered gene that makes it harmless and prevents it from reproducing in a cell. If another influenza virus invades the cell it still remains harmless, but rapidly reproduces and prevents infection by literally crowding out the new influenza strain.
In the study researchers used a "protecting virus" (known as 244) as an influenza A antiviral therapy and tested it in mice. A 120-ng intranasal dose completely protected mice simultaneously challenged with 10 50% lethal doses of influenza A/WSN (H1N1) virus. The 244 protecting virus also protected mice against strong doses of H2N2, H3N2, and H3N8.
Prophylactic activity was maintained in mice at least 1 week prior to challenge and a clear therapeutic benefit was observed when administered 24 to 48 hours following a lethal challenge. Finally, the 244 protecting virus was noted to be 10- to 100-fold more active than previous defective influenza A viruses.

With a sense of timing that would appeal to the sharpest Wall Street trader, the Wine Institute of California held its recent annual tasting in the week of Ernest Gallo's death. I half expected to be issued with a black armband (or a bottle of the company's most famous product, Thunderbird) at the reception.
If you've never heard of the gruff, media-averse patriarch of the West Coast wine industry, he and his brother, Julio, created the E&J Gallo Winery, now the largest single producer in the world, back in 1933. Three years short of his century, Ernest still paid regular visits to the offices in Modesto, scaring the crap out of employees and importers alike. He also drank his own Chenin Blanc, which was arguably more beneficial for his long-term health than his taste buds.
Out of respect for a man who was one of the key figures in the history of wine, I decided to taste what his company has to offer these days. Or at least part of it. Gallo produces 73m cases of wine each year under a bewildering line-up of labels. Heard of Barefoot, Carlo Rossi, Dancing Bull, Mirassou, Rivercrest, Napa Valley Vineyards and Rancho Zabaco? Me neither. But they are all Gallo sub-brands.
I could have spent the whole day at the E&J tables, but unless I survive, Ernest-style, to the age of 97, life is way too brief. To speed things up, I concentrated on 20 wines from the core Gallo Family range. Forgive me for avoiding the best-selling, sugar-coated White Zinfandel and White Grenache, two pink confections that account for a third of Gallo's UK sales, but they are bottled proof that no one ever lost money underestimating the public's taste.
As it happens, the other Gallo Family wines were pretty decent. Not much in the way of pulse-racing excitement, perhaps, with the exception of the toasty, citrus-fresh 2003 Sonoma County Chardonnay (£11.99, Booths) and the minty, elegant, fine-grained 2002 Frei Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon (£14.99, Longford's, 020 8676 5608), but the Turning Leaf range, which sells between £5 and £7, is as good as the competition from elsewhere and better than a lot of mid-market rubbish from California, most of which is either too bland, too sweet or generally both.
Can California as a whole deliver interesting wines between £5 and £10? We all know that, at above £20, it is a match for the very best of Europe and the New World. At this level, my stars of the tasting were the complex, Puligny-Montrachet-like 2002 Au Bon Climat Hildegard Chardonnay (£24.95, Berry Brothers & Rudd, 0870 900 4300) and the smoky, succulent 2005 Pax Cuvée Christine Syrah (£39.50, The Vineyard Cellars, 01488 681 313), which stands comparison with the leading lights of the Rhône Valley.
But what about the crucial middle market? The Wine Institute of California is currently promoting its 'benchmark wines', selected by a cuvee of wine writers, consultants and retailers. There are 13 of these in total (unlucky for the West Coast, as it happened) and the quality was up and down like a violinist's elbow. Three were actively nasty, most were too sweet, and a mere handful stood out. Five out of 13 is not a great hit rate.
If you want to taste value for money wines from California, try the currant and tea leaf-scented 2004 Ravens Wood Lodi Zinfandel (£7.99, Majestic, Threshers, Sainsbury's), the meaty, blackberry-packed 2005 Hahn Estates Syrah (£9.99, stockists from Patriarche Wine Agencies, 020 7381 4016) and the mealy, buttery 2005 Robert Mondavi Woodbridge Chardonnay (£6.99, Waitrose, Tesco, Sainsbury's)
Or, as a small tribute to Ernest Gallo, the man who gave the world Thunderbird, Hearty Burgundy and a whole lot else, buy a bottle of the raspberryish, easy drinking 2005 Turning Leaf Pinot Noir (£6.49, Sainsbury's, Somerfield, Tesco, Morrisons). Believe me, it's a lot better than the Chenin Blanc.

In the past, we have stayed at vacation condos or homes during our travels, and we've enjoyed our trips so much more. Since we opened Happy Trails, we have had the opportunity to meet people from across the US and have been happy to offer them a quiet place to relax and rewind after a busy day!
Barry and Merry purchased this condo in 2006
Thank you for allowing us to stay in your very nice condo. It is perfectly located. We enjoyed our stay and may call you next year to reserve it for a longer period. We will certainly spread the word.
The owners were wonderful to work with. The apartment was clean, quiet and well maintained. We felt right at home. We spent a super week in Bozeman seeing the sites and attending our son's graduation from Montana State University.
We were in Bozeman to spend time with family and needed a place for my in laws and my husband and I. This place was perfect for two couples as each bedroom has an attached bathroom. One bedroom has a tv which was great for my in laws. The place is in a quiet location and is clean and organized. The owners responded to questions quickly and were very flexible and friendly. The place is equipped with plenty of ccooking equipment and laundry. Beds were comfortable. There is no place to be outside because it is located above businesses. It didn't matter for us because we were spending much of our time at our families place.
This a great apartment! It was perfect for our trip!
My parents stayed in this rental for a week to help out with a new baby in the family. The unit was sparkling clean and very cozy. Owners were extremely responsive and called to check on them halfway through the stay just to be sure they were happy. The location is perfect for anything you want to do in the Bozeman area. Kitchen is well stocked with little extra amenities. Close to shopping and downtown but very quiet. Thank you for your hospitality!
We have a nephew living in Bozeman, so only needed 2 bedrooms to hold the rest of our family!!! First, the directions were GREAT!!! I was able to read, and my brother-in-law drove so we made it with no problems!! Due to the Christmas holidays, the downstairs professionals were already gone, so the whole building was very quiet for our entire stay!!! WE LOVED THE CONDO!!!!! It was beautifully clean, and so well maintained!!! Everything was in super shape... nothing worn, etc. Barry called Sunday to make sure we were satisfied with everything, and our only complaint was that WE HAD TO LEAVE AND COME HOME!!!!! It was the perfect location!!! We baked a pizza one day, and there was the pizza cutter in the drawer!!! There are even two cookbooks in the cupboard!!!! My favorite light reading!!! Found several recipes, and thanks to smart phone cameras, have them ready to try this week!!!! My sister, brother-in-law, and I stayed together in this unit and had plenty of privacy and separation. What a great alternative to the typical motel stay!!! You actually can vacation according to your schedule, not someone else and their time schedule!!! I would and have recommended this unit to several people back here at home. Thank you Barry and Merry for such a lovely and affordable alternative so we were able to spend Christmas with our nephew this year!!! We hope to do it again in 2016!!!!
We enjoyed staying at Happy Trails. The beds were very comfortable and everything was super clean. Having the washer/dryer there was very much appreciated. It was a little confusing to find at first, but once there, we were close to everything! Very pleased.

The most reactive non-metal is Fluorine, and it is also the most reactive element that scientists have discovered, as of 2015. Fluorine combines readily with almost any substance, including metals that are usually stable. There currently exists no chemical process that can separate elemental Fluorine.Continue Reading
Fluorine gas was first isolated in 1886 through a complicated electrolysis procedure. Due to its high reactivity, it is also difficult to store. It reacts with water, metals and even glass containers which it is kept in. Despite the fact that Fluorine is toxic in large doses, trace amounts of the element are added to water supplies to prevent tooth decay.Learn more about Acids & Bases

Application of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) in ARDS is evolving. Higher PEEP may prove beneficial in some patients with ARDS.1 We propose combining PEEP and Fio2 using a table. Dr Schmidt2 has appropriately pointed out several limitations of this method and suggested alternative strategies to management of PEEP. However, we remain unconvinced that these have been tested sufficiently to prove their reliability, safety, or overall clinical effectiveness.
