LA Times to Pedestrians: You Will Drop Dead
Yesterday in Le Times:
Los Angeles isn't known as a city for walking. Maybe there is a good reason — it's too dangerous.
That's a pretty good lead! I'll bet it's backed up with some pretty interesting study too.
Drivers in Los Angeles kill pedestrians and bicyclists at a significantly higher rate than drivers nationally, according to a study by the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute.
There you have it. Drivers in LA = bloodthirsty monsters. Except…
In Los Angeles, pedestrians accounted for about a third of all traffic fatalities, or nearly triple the national average of 11.4%. About 3% of the fatalities were bicyclists. That compares with 1.7% nationally.
Wait a minute… who the hell cares about that? Instead of citing a useful statistic, like total pedestrian fatalities per capita or per driver, the study is about percentage of traffic fatalities. As if to drive home the inanity of the article (and study), it cites sites the obviously much higher New York percentage – 49.6%.

Feature #33930
Additional (not increase current) zed "reaction to shot" range that only triggers investigation.
|Start date:
|Due date:
|% Done:
|Target version:
Also posted in forum: http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=16871
1: Zed should have much increased gunshot detection range in (two levels) and immedately start moving to that location either to investigate or be on full aggro depending on the range from gunshot.
Meaning: Keep current range and add one more.
2: Zed should have pre 188.8.131.52 sensitivity to player movement speed, visibility and sound levels.
3: Zed should do current or higher levels of damage. In other words be really nasty.
Elaboration on point 1:
The current range at which the zed aggro on a gunshot should be kept as is or even increased. But a further range should also be added at which zed dont aggro but just go to investigate.
[EDIT] Silenced weapons could make zed come and investigate if they are close enough, maybe.
Example situations and reasoning:
Aggro level 2 = Current aggro (fully aware running snarling trying to kill the player)
Aggro level 1 = Investigate (Drawn to sound, investigates)
Situation 1 - PVE:
A new player spawns, and goes exploring for a weapon. He finds a gun and is shortly thereafter discovered and aggroed by zed because of some poor stealth choices. He uses his Makarov to dispatch the aggroed zed.
As soon as he fires his weapon zed aggro at level 2 precisely as it is right now, but zed from further out (200 - 300 m? Basically the zero on most long weapons) have also been alerted and are now converging on that location on aggro level 1.
The player knows he can't stay at this location and has to move fast, he knows that he has to use stealth to not aggro approaching zed to level 2.
A shot rings out from another direction all zed that hear it Go to either level 1 or 2 depending on range, maybe some of the zed approaching the player to investigate have now been diverted in another direction.
Situation 2 - PVP:
Player/Bandit is perched in a sniper position, overlooking a popular loot location. He spots a likely victim looting or standing still and fires his weapon. What would now happen is that, Immediately, Zed from all around (200 - 300 m? Basically the zero on most long weapons) start moving in on his position.
Sniper knows he has to leave his position or run the risk of aggroing zed. If he wants to player kill and do it safely he has to increase his range at the cost of accuracy.
Discussion and inspiration:
The inspiration is from the book World War Z. In the book, if a shot was fired or a zed aggroed at all, it would start loudly moaning, alerting al zed in a looong range. This would basically create a train of zed potentially miles long converging on one location.
I propose but a fraction of this, which should be possible with current existing game features.
This would ensure that no one would player kill without seriously considering the consequences if his actions. Am i in a building with only one exit? How many zed are around town? Can i get out quickly enough? Can i be stealthy getting out? Is it worth killing this player for his stuff or the thrill? Maybe coexistence if more beneficial, after all i can always follow him to the woods and maybe get him there.
This would truly make the towns and built up areas the domain of the Zed, where players need to coexist, and the wilderness would become the no rules areas.
I also think it would enable emergent game play tactics like diversions, intentionally alerting zedz to a specific location and other interesting mechanics.

Travel essentials
Why go now?
This central Swiss city on the shores of Lake Lucerne, or Vierwaldstattersee, sparkles in the sunshine. Its allure is bolstered by the Lucerne Festival (00 41 41 226 4480; lucernefestival.ch), a vast array of concerts performed in venues throughout the city between 10 August and 18 September. This annual feast of classical music, a highlight of the Swiss cultural calendar since 1938, features some of the finest musicians in the world.
Even if you're not a classical music fan, Lucerne is still a great destination for a short summer break, with plenty to see and do around town, the Alps on your doorstep, and a lovely lake in which to cool off after a hard day's hiking in the hills.
Touch down
The nearest international airport is Zurich. British Airways (0844 493 0787; britishairways.com) flies from Heathrow and London City, with competition on both routes from Swiss (0845 601 0956; swiss.com) and its fellow Lufthansa subsidiary BMI (0844 8484 888; flybmi.com) – which also flies from Birmingham, Edinburgh and Manchester. The only no-frills airline is easyJet (0843 104 5000; easyjet.com) from Gatwick, Luton and Manchester.
Direct trains (00 41 900 300 300; sbb.ch) run from Zurich airport to Lucerne every hour, taking 62 minutes for Sfr13.50 (£10). Lucerne's central station (1) is on the quayside, opposite the ferry terminal and a short walk from all the city centre sights.
Get your bearings
The tourist office at Zentralstrasse 5 (00 41 41 227 1717; luzern.com) is right next to the station (1); it opens daily 9am-7.30pm.
Lucerne is at the northern end of the Vierwaldstattersee – one of Switzerland's largest and most dramatic lakes. The compact city centre straddles the mouth of the Reuss river.
The pedestrianised Altstadt (old town) on the north bank is the prettiest (and most touristy) part of town.
The Neustadt (new town) on the south bank is an attractive mix of old and modern architecture, with more traffic but fewer sightseers.
The Kapellbrucke (2), a romantic wooden bridge built in 1333, is Lucerne's main landmark, and the most convenient route across the river.
Check in
The Schweizerhof (3) at Schweizerhofquai 3 (00 41 44 218 8888; schweizerhof-luzern.ch) is one of Switzerland's oldest, most distinctive grand hotels. Built in 1846, it has been run by the same family for five generations. Richard Wagner wrote Tristan und Isolde here. Subsequent guests include BB King, Iggy Pop and Deep Purple, though not in the same room at the same time. Doubles start at Sfr360 (£270), room only.
If your budget doesn't stretch to five stars, the Hotel zum Weissen Kreuz (4) at Furrengasse 19(00 41 41 418 8220; altstadthotelluzern.ch) is a homely three-star hideaway in the heart of the Altstadt, on the north bank of the Reuss. The bedrooms are small but stylish, and the dining room doubles as a chic Italian restaurant. Doubles from Sfr230 (£174) including breakfast.
An even more economic option is The Bed + Breakfast (5) at Taubenhausstrasse 34 (00 41 41 310 1514; thebandb.ch). Housed in an attractive old villa in the new town, it has eight pleasant bedrooms. Doubles cost Sfr120 (£90) including breakfast.
Day one
Take a hike
Follow the lakeside path from the central station (1) along Inseliquai and Alpenquai. The pedestrianised Inseliquai leads past the lush and leafy Inselipark (6), through atmospheric docks and boatyards (7) to a beautiful, secluded beach, Strandbad Tribschen (8), (00 41 41 360 4567; www.hallenbadluzern.ch), where well-maintained swimming platforms reach out into the lake. There's beach volleyball on shore and table tennis in the adjoining garden. Open 9am-9pm daily, Sfr4 (£3).
After you've dried off, walk along the quiet Alpenquai to the Richard Wagner Museum (9) at Richard Wagner Weg 27 (00 41 41 360 2370; richard-wagner-museum.ch; open 10am-noon and 2pm-5pm, daily except Monday; Sfr8 (£6). The controversial composer lived and worked in this splendid villa for six years. Its rooms, full of his personal effects, still reverberate with the power of his personality. Allow about half an hour each way for the hike and about an hour for the museum.
Lunch on the run
Goldener Stern (10) at Burgerstrasse 35 (00 41 41 227 5060; goldener-stern.ch) is a family-run restaurant in the new town, with a cosy canteen downstairs that serves traditional Swiss food in a homely, unpretentious style. The pork or beef sausage with fries and onion sauce costs Sfr17 (£12.75).
Window shopping
The Altstadt may be more picturesque, but the best shops are in the Neustadt. A particular treat is Caroline Felber's idiosyncratic hat shop, Hutte & Mutzen (11) at Moosstrasse 1 (00 41 41 210 5363; huete.ch). You can watch her milliners at work on site, buy off the peg for as little as Sfr15 (£11.25) or commission one of her bespoke creations from Sfr 70 (£52.50) upwards.
An aperitif
The best view of the city is from the Lake View Lounge of the Art Deco Hotel Montana (12) at Adligenswilerstrasse 22 (00 41 41 419 0000; hotel-montana.ch), a splendid pile perched on the hillside above Lucerne. It is open to non-residents from 4pm Friday to Sunday (from 5pm other nights). There's no need to walk up, unless you need the exercise; the hotel's free funicular runs from the lake shore right into the lobby. The bar's house speciality is its array of 80 single malt whiskies, with prices from Sfr7 (£5.25).
For cocktails, head for the Astoria (13) at Pilatusstrasse 29 (00 41 41 226 8888; astoria-luzern.ch). This sleek high-rise hotel was designed by Swiss architects Herzog & De Meuron, but with half a dozen debonair bars and a fabulous roof terrace, it's a great place to party. The penthouse special (tequila, peach liqueur, passion fruit) costs Sfr16 (£12).
Dine with the locals
In Switzerland, a Rathaus is as much of a meeting place as a seat of local government. Lucerne's Rathaus (14) at Unter der Egg 2 (00 41 41 410 5257; rathausbrauerei.ch) also brews its own beer, and its cosy basement is a convivial bierkeller serving hearty Swiss favourites. A plate of bratwurst and sauerkraut, washed down with half a litre of the house lager, costs Sfr28.80 (£21.60).
To sample classic Swiss cuisine in traditional surroundings, book a table at Wilden Mann (15) at Bahnhofstrasse 30 (00 41 41 210 1666; wilden-mann.ch). A tavern since the 16th century, this historic four-star hotel houses two fine restaurants in its old stables. Restaurant Sauvage is the gastronomic option, but the Burgerstube is the most atmospheric, decorated in glorious mock gothic style. The four-course menu (soup, scallops, veal, sorbet) costs Sfr82 (£61.50), excluding wine.
Day two
Sunday morning: go to church
The grandest church in Lucerne is the 16th-century Jesuitenkirche (16) at Bahnhofstrasse 11a (00 41 41 240 3133; jesuitenkirche-luzern.ch; daily 6am to 6.30pm, Sunday services at 7am, 3pm, 5pm & 8.15pm). Services are in German, but, unlike much of Switzerland, Lucerne is a Catholic city, and the ritual and settings are spectacular, even if you don't understand every word.
Out to brunch
Brunch means something entirely different in Central Europe. It's not half a meal, more like a meal-and-a-half. The Sunday brunch buffet at 1871, the lakefront restaurant of the five-star Grand Hotel National (17) at Haldenstrasse 4 (00 41 41 422 1871; 1871.ch) is a case in point – salmon, cheese, bacon, sausages, pancakes – all you can eat for Sfr44 (£33). It's not the cheapest meal in town, but you probably won't want to eat again all day (served 10am-1pm).
A walk in the park
Lucerne's prettiest park is the green ribbon that runs along the north bank of the Vierwaldstattersee. Start at the Grand Hotel National (17) and walk east for about half-an-hour along Carl-Spitteler-Quai to the lakeside Lido (18) at Lidostrasse 6a (00 41 41 370 3806; lido-luzern.ch). You can take a refreshing dip here any day from 9am to 8pm, for a price of Sfr7 (£5.25).
Take a ride
The nicest way to see Lucerne and its surroundings is aboard the handsome ferries (some paddle steamers), which criss-cross the Vierwaldstattersee (00 41 41 367 6767; lakelucerne.ch). Boats depart from the Bahnhofquai (19) beside the central station and dock at about a dozen scenic spots along the lake. The entire trip takes three hours each way, but most passengers opt for shorter journeys. A 40-minute return trip to the quaint lakeside town of Weggis costs Sfr35 (£26.25).
Cultural afternoon
Angela Rosengart started out as an art dealer at 16, apprenticed to her Swiss father. Now 79, during the last 60 years she has accumulated a wonderful haul of modern art, and you can see it all in the Rosengart Collection (20) at Pilatus-strasse 10 (00 41 41 220 1660; rosengart.ch). Her elegant gallery houses more than 100 pictures by Paul Klee plus dozens of paintings (and hundreds of sketches) by Picasso, including five portraits he made of Angela as a young woman. Other famous names on show include Matisse, Miró, Braque and Chagall – all of whom she met in the course of her incredible career. Open daily 10am-6pm; admission Sfr18 (£13.50).
The icing on the cake
Lucerne's top attraction is Mount Pilatus, the 2,132m high peak that towers over the city. You can scale the mountain by cable car from Kriens (21) (reached in 15 minutes on bus 1 from Lucerne's central station (1) or on the world's steepest mountain railway from Alpnachstad (22) (20 minutes from Lucerne by train or 90 minutes by boat). The mountaintop is a tourist trap, but it's easy to escape the crowds on the hiking trails around the summit.
The adventure playground at Frakmuntegg, half way up, boasts Switzerland's longest summer toboggan run. Allow a whole day for the round trip, or half a day for a shorter section. Prices from Sfr9.50 (£7.10) for one section to Sfr94 (£70.50) for the round trip, by boat, bus, cable car and mountain railway (00 41 41 329 1111; pilatus.ch).

Apple iPad 3 or Google Nexus 7? It's a difficult question to answer because these tablets aren't quite like-for-like rivals. And yet they're still competing for similar audiences. After all, how many people do you know who own multiple tablets?
One's portable and affordable, the other is - well - an iPad. But is that Apple tablet experience, seen by many as the tablet experience, really worth an extra £200? We've decided to deconstruct exactly what the extra outlay gets you.
Read our full Google Nexus 7 review
Nexus 7 - soft touch "leather effect" plastic rear
iPad - aluminium rear
Talked about in the simplest terms, it sounds like the iPad is the clear victor in terms of design. How can plastic hope to compete with anodised aluminium?
iPad - cool, hard metal
Weirdly enough, the Google Nexus 7 makes a good account of itself, while costing half the price. We don't know quite how its maker Asus managed it, but the finish of the Nexus feels more like leather than ropey old plastic. It has a pleasing tactile quality that's just as enjoyable as the cool touch of metal.
The Nexus 7's back uses a pattern of tiny little dimples rather than a completely smooth surface, and comes in white and black-brown finishes. However, the white version doesn't seem to be readily available in the UK as yet.
Google Nexus 7 - tactile leather-effect plastic
Having been around for longer, both the white and black editions of the iPad are readily available. The two tablets' approach to colour is quite different, though. The Google Nexus 7 offers different-coloured backs, and the iPad different-coloured screen bezels.
White or black - no 50 shades of grey here
Nexus 7 - one-handed fun, 340g
iPad - slim, but less agile, 652g
As slim and stylish as the iPad may be, it just can't compete with the Google Nexus 7 on portability. A 7in device feels much, much more comfortable in one hand, and thanks to the high friction leather-effect rear it doesn't feel in constant peril - every moment being one in which you might drop the thing.
iPad - two hands please...
The Nexus 7 is also just over half the weight of an iPad 3. The third-generation Apple tablet gained a significant amount of weight over the second one, in order to house a larger battery.
Google Nexus 7 - one mitt does the trick
If you want a tablet you can read on while standing up on the train or bus, the Nexus 7 is hands-down the winner. Have a seat? Well, that changes things. The larger iPad can rest on your knees with the right case, where the Nexus 7 is a little small for such a purpose. For a long-haul flight, we'd also rather watch a movie on an iPad than a Nexus 7.
Nexus 7 - 8/16GB internal memory, no memory card slot
iPad - 16/32/64GB internal memory, no memory card slot
Where Android devices were once the home of the free and easy "open" style - free to install dodgy apps, free to expand the internal memory, free to fiddle as you please - the walls have started closing in. The Google Nexus 7 follows an Apple-style trend in disallowing any physical form of memory expansion.
There's no memory card slot in the tablet, meaning you're stuck with the 8GB of 16GB of internal memory, depending on which version you bought. Both these capacities are absolutely piddly if you want to watch movies or listen to music.
Why reject those free-wheeling Android roots? It's obvious, really. Google wants you to use its online media streaming services, like Google Music and Google Movies rather than watch your own stuff. That Google Music isn't even available in the UK yet, and that the movies service is pretty basic here doesn't seem to have affected the decision. Ho hum.
Google Nexus 7 - no memory of a memory card slot
Of course, it's no surprise that Apple has gone down its traditional root of not letting you expand memory in its "new iPad". However, it is compatible with the camera connection kit, which lets you plug SD cards and some other types of USB devices (mainly cameras) in order to let you view digital camera photos on the thing directly. This is sold as a separate accessory - and the official one costs around £20.
Can the Google Nexus 7 match this functionality? Not fresh out of the box no. It has a microUSB socket - about as universal as you can get - but it's not setup for USB host functionality, which lets you plug-in external hard drives and other such USB bits and bobs. You'll need to root the tablet in order to get this host function working.
iPad 3 - microSD MIA
Google seems to have deliberately bodged this feature, as the tablet will accept keyboards and mice, just not other devices. We can only assume it's another effort to get you hooked into those Google services. Thank heaven for hacks.
Nexus 7 - 7in, 1,280 x 800 pixel IPS
iPad - 9.7in, 2,048 x 1,536 pixel IPS
The Google Nexus 7 has a "nice" screen. It uses the right display tech, has a pretty high resolution and at 7in it's large enough to watch TV shows on comfortably while you're out and about.
However, the iPad 3 screen is quite remarkable. It boasts more pixels than any TV you'll find down the local Dixons - including the 60in ones that cost a couple of grand. Why so many? It's Apple's continuation of the Retina Display movement it started with the iPhone 4.
iPad 3 - you can't beat this beauty (yet)
The aim of a Retina Display is to ensure that you can't see single pixels in normal usage. This should in theory result in less eyestrain, as well as much sharper images.
The iPad 3 packs-in 265 pixels per inch. This wouldn't earn you the "Retina" title in a mobile, but in a tablet Apple thinks it more than suffices. And we tend to agree.
The Google Nexus 7 brings 215dpi to the table. In any other comparison, the tablet would look like a king, but here the competition is just a little too great. One thing to bear in mind - in 2011, the 1,280 x 800 resolution used by the Nexus was the industry-wide standard used in much larger 10.1in tablets. Its screen is still dead-sharp.

Negligence in the Workplace
Too often people are injured at work due to the negligence of their employer or coworkers. Many times this negligence takes form through coworkers not watching what they are doing and therefore injuring another person. There are also instances of employers not taking the proper steps to protect their workers from injury. Workplace injuries often prevent people from returning to work and can put their income and livelihood at risk. This is where a workers compensation attorney can make a huge difference. Workers compensation attorneys understand the severity of workplace injuries and fight to get their clients appropriate compensation. If you are injured at work, you need to hire a workers compensation attorney. For further details on injury lawyers, click here.
Negligence often causes injuries due to people not paying attention or taking appropriate safety steps. In high risk professions such as electrical workers or construction workers, negligence can have devastating consequences. Injuries happen all the time at these places because people are not paying attention to what they are doing. This can seriously injure a person and put their lives and income on hold. Please view this link for more awesome ideas on injury lawyers!
Workplace injuries often happen due to proper safeguards not being in place. If malfunctioning equipment is not locked out or removed from the job site, then people are likely to use the equipment and be injured. Employers often fail to provide their workers with the safety equipment they need. It is the responsibility of the employer to ensure their employees are properly protected and notified of potential dangers. Unfortunately, this does not always happen.
There are many ways that workers compensation attorneys can help. They fight to ensure that anyone injured in a workplace accident are properly taken care of. This includes compensating them for their suffering and any lost income. Without this protection, people are put in a position to defend their rights themselves which often does not end well. If you are injured in a workplace accident, you need a workers compensation attorney to protect you.
Negligence is often the reason for many workplace injuries. This is because it shows disregard for the safety of the employees. Both employers and other employees can act in negligent ways leading to injury. Without proper safeguards, workers are exposed to huge injury risks. Workplace injuries can have devastating consequences to the worker and their family.

text: WVU not in strong bargaining position By Dave Hickman September 21, 2011 Story Share MORGANTOWN - So Oliver Luck issued a statement Wednesday afternoon designed to clarify West Virginia's position in the ongoing conference realignment saga.The West Virginia athletic director's take, more or less verbatim:"President [James] Clements and I represented West Virginia University at [Tuesday] night's Big East meeting in New York. The group concluded the meeting with a strategy to recruit top-level BCS-caliber institutions that match the league's strong athletic and academic histories and traditions."As I stated before, WVU is an excellent flagship, land-grant university, with national-caliber athletic and academic programs. We are, and will remain, a national player in college athletics."The conference office will coordinate any further discussion on this issue."Please allow me to translate:"We sat through another meeting trying to save the Big East. Same old same old. But, hey, no matter what happens, we'll land on our feet. Now, shut up and stop calling me. What the heck am I supposed to say?''Indeed, the Big East did have another meeting and they talked about the same things they've talked about for the past six years - who to add and how to keep things together. They got everyone at the table to pledge their undying loyalty.West Virginia did so grudgingly, having no other options.Connecticut and Rutgers did so probably with fingers crossed. (Does it say anything that while UConn seems ripe for eventual picking by the ACC that neither the school president nor the athletic director attended the meeting? They instead sent representatives.)As for Cincinnati, Louisville, South Florida and even TCU? Well, they're all hoping against hope that this all works out again and that somehow the Big East can employ Band-Aid medicine to a severed artery. If they wanted to be in a non-BCS conference they could have stayed where they were.And who knows? Maybe this works. It would certainly help if Connecticut and Rutgers stay on board, but short of that it seems like a long shot. Think about this for a moment. If UConn and Rutgers eventually leave, the remaining football schools would consist of just one that has been a member of an automatic-qualifying BCS conference since there was a BCS.That's it. It's West Virginia and a collection of schools whose membership in an AQ conference came about simply because the Big East had to go out and find the best available leftover talent. Louisville, Cincinnati and USF were recruited to replace Miami, Virginia Tech and Boston College. TCU was begging for a seat at the table and the Big East gave it to the Horned Frogs. And the next group to join (Navy, Air Force, East Carolina, Central Florida?) would do so only for the same reason.It is not, to say the least, a group with strong bargaining power. nnI've always been of the opinion that the Big East would retain its BCS status no matter what happened to the membership, for a couple of reasons.First, there was the whole Northeast market thing. But if UConn and Rutgers were to follow Syracuse and Pitt (with Boston College and Penn State already gone), there is no longer a Big East team in the Northeast market.So much for that argument. Then there was the threat of government interference. Members of Congress already make noise when a non-AQ school is perceived to have been screwed over (Utah and Orrin Hatch), and the last thing these conferences want is some sort of anti-trust action against them. They've had a hard enough time fending off investigations aimed at finding out why the Big Six conferences control everything at the expense of the WAC and the MAC and Conference USA. Imagine if they had to defend booting a group out of that inner circle.Now, though, I'm not so sure that's an issue. Oh, it's still an issue as far as the BCS is concerned because agreements have been struck and contracts signed. But what happens when the conferences change so much that everyone realizes (and the TV networks agree) that the BCS is now outdated and it's time to reinvent the thing from scratch?When that happens, who is to say the Big East is even invited into the discussion? The Big Six is now the Big Five. If they got together to revamp the system, it would actually be hailed as long overdue, and absolutely no one outside the Big East would lift a finger to complain that West Virginia and a bunch of former C-USA and WAC members and independents were being left out.For West Virginia, that is bound to be the scariest thought.nnWhat happens to West Virginia in a Big-East-crumbles scenario?Well, no one knows, and that scares the school. It can tout its tradition and fan base and alumni and marketing and broad appeal all they want, but if no one buys, well, no one buys.You know who might eventually buy, though?The Big 12.Now let's be honest. A lot of other things could happen. If Missouri stays in the Big 12 or goes to the Big Ten, and if the SEC is unwilling to raid the ACC, who is to say West Virginia doesn't return to the SEC's radar? If the ACC takes UConn, and Rutgers somehow talks its way into the Big Ten, where does the ACC go for a 16th school, ECU or WVU?There are a ton of other things that could happen, too, including UConn and Rutgers staying put and the Big East surviving.But let's assume for a moment that West Virginia is standing alone among the former Big East football schools. The Big 12 is right now at nine schools. If Missouri leaves it's down to just eight. Don't think for a moment that the Big 12 won't add two and perhaps four schools.BYU and Boise State would seem prime candidates. TCU is a long shot because Texas isn't likely to go for that. And while there are plenty of other possibilities across the country (including some that are more geographically in line, like Louisville or Cincinnati), why not West Virginia?The Big 12 would be adding perhaps the only BCS-level school available and the only one without a home.Farfetched? Yeah, you're probably right. It would be like a school in eastern Pennsylvania joining the Big Ten or one in Texas joining the Big East.Reach Dave Hickman at 304-348-1734 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Getting the word out
As already mentioned in my first blog, an increasing number of means now exist for putting out messages to selected (and especially self-selected) audiences. We already make our press releases and other material available via RSS feeds, as well as via the website. A comparatively recent innovation, which seems well suited for some of these purposes, is twitter. For those not already in the twitterverse, twitter allows brief 140-character 'tweets' (posts) that can be viewed by those who have chosen (signed up) to do so. BBSRC is @BBSRC and I am @dbkell. In its simplest form, the ramblings of other tweeters are seen by any tweeter only if they have signed up to follow them, so twittering can involve more of a fractured monologue than a dialogue. It does however allow all recipients to see the discourse 'instantaneously' and thereby capture the zeitgeist (for literature citations this has been called the citegeist…), possibly assisting the generation of the supposed Wisdom of Crowds (and at least access to one's readership).
The discourse that is science has both formal and informal mechanisms. Probably the most formal is the classical peer review process, and while this is probably the least worst system we have evolved to date, and it has an interesting history, it is well recognised to be far from perfect. Twittering is arguably towards the informal end of the spectrum (in that peer review prior to publication of a thought is largely non-existent, albeit organisation such as arxiv.org have used this model very effectively). In between – and maybe pointing towards the future – are collaborative document tagging systems such as that described by Beel and Gipp from the Scienstein organisation that would allow the community to annotate published work in a manner more detailed than the simple tags represented by a folksonomy. This bears on the question of the persistence of material (once) accessible via the internet. While the internet archive's WayBack machine is a useful time machine for some of the internet since 1996, many URLs describing bioinformatics resources relevant to MEDLINE have a tendency to disappear, partly due to lack of resources for their maintenance (an issue we seek to address via our BBR funding stream).
I have also been reading a few papers, such as: that by Frazer and colleagues on the largely unsuccessful (or weakly successful) programme to relate genetic variation to complex traits (the 'missing heritability' summarised with great clarity by Maher and reviewed in a previous blog); one about another fast graphical method (this by Langmead and colleagues) for aligning short reads from next-generation sequencing platforms onto large genomes; and a useful summary by Ruttenberg and colleagues surveying the application of the Semantic Web in the Life Sciences and the Neurocommons project.
It is of interest that this year (on May 7) is the 50th anniversary of C.P.Snow's Two Cultures lecture. This highlighted (loosely) the lack of common understanding between those with an education in the arts and those with an education in science and technology, and the issue that much of public life was controlled by the former. Possibly the ability to find material electronically without being stuck in a particular part of a library devoted only to a single subject will allow multi- and inter-disciplinary understanding to flourish.
Finally, the Tao Te Ching had an interesting take on persistence, although its author was not necessarily thinking about commentaries on the published literature: "Work is done then forgotten; therefore it lasts forever".

Large Volume Liposuction to Thighs, Upper Calves and Knees - Encino, CA
Almost twenty years ago I had gastric bypass...
Beginning the Count Down
Thanks to all for the encouragement!
Beginning Tummy Tuck Count Down!
Thanks to all for the encouragement!
Upon doing lots of research I found Dr. Younai a specialist in large volume liposuction. His office staff was fantastic! I was able to get a free consultation appointment with the doctor the same week that I called. Dr. Younai was very kind and extremely knowledgeable about the after effects of gastic bypass surgery both physically and emotionally and of course high volume liposuction. He was very honest about what could be accomplished with the procedure, the possible complications and the recovery. I felt very prepared and confident going into the procedure. He even provided overnight aftercare for me after the surgery even though it was not necessary. I chose to be overly cautious as this was my first liposuction procedure. The outcome of the procedure was beyond my greatest expectations! Dr was able to remove almost 25lbs of fat from my thigh and hip area alone. My saddle bags were gone and the humps on my thighs were greatly diminished. Within 3 weeks after the surgery even with swelling, I was able to wear pants for the first time in more years than I can remember! The results were drastic, I lost four to six dress sizes in form fitting clothing. I would highly recommend Dr Younai and his staff to anyone seeking large volume liposuction. The high volume liposuction was the first of two procedures that I will need to resculpt my body. My second procedure is an Abdominoplasty with liposuction of the flanks and lower back. Wish me luck, I go in on September 18th. See ya on the flat side!

|Worthington, Oliver J.
|App, Jean
|Lorant, George John
|Graduation date: 1950
|This investigation was concerned with the reduction of waste in raw vegetables and fruits between the times of harvest and consumption. Reduction of spoilage in produce was attempted by means of chemical and. physical agents as well as a combination of both. The first phase of the work consisted of an evaluation of a number of chemical compounds with respect to their effectiveness in reducing post-harvest spoilage. The second part dealt with an evaluation of several transparent films applied to raw produce as wrappers and their effect on the keeping quality of the plant material until consumed. Finally combinations of surface disinfection and overwrapping were evaluated for effectiveness against raw produce spoilage. 1. Disinfection Approximately 26 compounds were tested as aqueous dips using 3 concentrations of each on 7 major vegetables and 2 fruits. The following types of compounds were studied. 1. Quaternary ammonium compounds (chlorides, bromides and pyridinium derivatives) 2. Chlorine liberators (organic and inorganic) 3. Phenols (simple and poly-phenols) 4. Quinones and hydroquinones 5. Salts of fatty acids 6. SO₂ liberators 7. Benzoates The chemical treatments were evaluated for each produce by comparison with untreated controls using duplicate tests with triplicate samples for each chemical and concentration. Promising treatments were found for all but one produce (strawberries). The treatments showing promise for each of Pascal celery and Emperor grapes were further tested on a larger scale uaing commercial size units of produce as test samples and long term cold storage. Three chemical treatments for each product were judged satisfactory enough to warrant further testing by means of field trials. The chemicals found most promising for celery were Onyxide, Cetab and Decco while Roccal, Dowicide C and Phygon were selected for grapes. A field test of the three above mentioned treatments for Pascal celery was completed. One thousand bunches per chemical were tested under commercial conditions of dipping and storing. An equal number of untreated bunches was also tested. Half-lots of each treatment were evaluated on each bunch for 11 subjective characteristics and standard mold and bacterial counts of each crate of celery were made after 8 and 14 weeks of storage. On the basis of a statistical analysis of the results, 0.1% Decco of pH=5 can be recommended for the reduction of general rot development in cold storage Pascal celery. Onyxide and Cetab significantly reduce the development of mold but commercial application cannot be recommended because the amount of visible stalk injury was significantly increased over that shown by corresponding untreated or Decco treated celery. 2. Prepackaging The following films were compared for their merit in prolonging the salable life of raw produce. Pliofilm 75FF, Pliofilm 75N2, Pliofilm 75P6A, Cellophane 300LSAT, Cellophane 300MSAT-86, Lumarith P-912, Dupont Acetate 100CA48, Polythene and Kodapak II-130. Wrapping techniques were also evaluated using the followng variations; Complete seals, tent-flap closures, single hole punctures, multiple punctures and windo bags. The following products were studied: celery, tomatoes, carrots, lettuce, cauliflower, chopped salad mix, spinach, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, and boysenberries. Harvested produce was packaged both before and after the removal of field heat. Behavior of the pre-packaged products in both 33°F storage and subsequent 8O°F storage was studied. Cold storage was extended as long as 120 days while subsequent holding at room temperature varied widely from produce to produce. Observations were made at regular intervals for each product. Several hundred uniform samples were evaluated for most products using duplicates of each treatment for every observation period. Evaluation of most samples included weightloss, C0₂ (and sometimes O₂) of the container atmosphere, mold and decay development, flavor, color, odor, wilting and shriveling. The following conclusions were drawn: All films and wrapping methods affect produce quality. For each produce, treatments could be singled out which were superior to unwrapped controls. However any particular film and type of seal found to be superior for one produce was often not acceptable for another fruit or vegetable. Among the factors found to be critical for the proper choice of treatment were type of produce, produce temperature when packed, length of storage, and temperature of storage. A. Cold Storage For most products, the partially sealed, low permeability MSAT containers and the completely sealed Polythene wraps scored highst for overall product quality. These treatments prevented the accumulation of undesirable CO₂ while at the same time protecting the produce against weightloss and consequent wilting. For some produce, especially berries, wilting was not apparent even in high permeability films such as acetates. B. Warm Storage For produce with high respiration rates (spinach, and berries) only acetate films were acceptable as wraps. The partially sealed low permeability films maintained good quality in warm storage but the high humidity within the package was conducive to micro-organism activity. Thus, in many cases samples disinfected prior to packaging in those films improved the warm storage quality. Disinfection also improved the quality of tomatoes and chopped salad mix in acetate wraps. Of the high permeability films, no significant difference was found among the Dupont acetate, Lumarith and Kodapak II. The type of seal also did not affect the characteristics of these wraps. The low permeability films differed principally in the amount of CO₂, retained by the container during storage. The Pliofilms retained the highest C0₂, levels followed by LSAT and then MSAT Cellophane. The sealed polyethylene, the single puncture and tent flap MSAT wraps exhibited similarity, especially with respect to C0₂ accumulation. The multiple puncture low permeability wraps showed characteristics between acetates and the last mentioned group. Correlation between CO₂ accumulation and off-flavor formation could be determined for most products. Higher CO₂ levels were tolerated at short storage intervals without off- flavor formation by most products but the rate of change in CO₂ tolerance varied from produce to produce. Correlation between % weightioss and degree of wilting could also be expressed as a function of the pre-packaging treatments used. Storage infection was eliminated by all films independent of the type of seal used. It should be emphasized that only a study of the resuits and relationships discussed under each product can serve as a basis for future work and commercial application of the methods presented in this work.

Ivory International may not be a household name, but its apparel products are probably found in most U.S. households. The Caribbean Joe brand of casual sportswear, which Ivory recently licensed, is sold in department stores, specialty stores and resorts. The company's private-label business makes a broad mix of products for mid-level department stores across the United States. From children's denim at Sears to hunters' camouflage pants and turkey vests at Wal-Mart, Ivory International apparel can be seen nearly everywhere shoppers go.
Miami-based Ivory, which is privately owned and has been profitable for all 37 years of its history, is now in fast-growth mode and is committed to moving more of its activities overseas. But to continue its rapid growth, it must coordinate diverse functions in scattered locations with disparate work cultures and capabilities. To produce and deliver its eclectic mix of clothing, Ivory sources goods from 14 countries on three continents, operates quality assurance offices in eight of those countries, and maintains design offices in Miami and Dallas and a sales office in Kentucky. And that's not even counting the new Caribbean Joe division, which is based in New York.
To add to the complexity, Ivory must meet divergent requirements posed by the retailers for which it produces private-label apparel. As retailers began implementing product lifecycle management (PLM) systems to shorten their time to market and keep abreast of fast-moving trends, Ivory was challenged to keep up with them while remaining true to its origins as a lean, low-overhead domestic importer. "We have multiple customers with multiple data requirements - each one is unique and even their terminology is different," says Roger Mayerson, the company's executive vice president of product development and global sourcing.
PLM made simple
Mayerson realized that to meet retailers' demands, Ivory would need "one data pool that allowed us to have data at the tips of our fingers to communicate with our customers." Over the years, each part of the company had developed its own spreadsheet-based tracking systems, but no integrated system was in place to help the company quickly develop products and bring them to market. To gain more visibility and control, Ivory would need its own PLM system as well as more robust back-office systems.
During his years in the retail side of the industry, Mayerson built a product development management system from the ground up at Target and implemented a PLM system at Casual Male. Those experiences gave him clear ideas about the PLM system he wanted at Ivory.
His most important requirement was that the system be simple and easy to use. "We're in a relatively unsophisticated business," he says. "We're in multiple countries with multiple languages - we've got to keep it clear and simple." Based on his market research and experience at Casual Male, he recommended NGC's e-PLM and e-SPS software, which together provide an integrated solution for PLM and global sourcing. Ivory purchased the NGC software in September 2008 and finished implementing it domestically by April 2009. Implementation is still underway in the overseas offices and will begin early next year in the Caribbean Joe division.
Because the NGC software was selected for its user-friendliness, training was relatively quick and easy. To get everyone up to speed, Ivory held formal training sessions and then developed a group of super-users who could answer questions in each functional area.
Getting serious about deadlines
Learning to take full advantage of the software, however, presented challenges - and is still a work in progress. To get the most out of PLM requires cultural changes on the part of the company and its suppliers. The first cultural shift is learning to live by the calendar. PLM systems make public all the dates that must be met to deliver finished goods on time. Divisions and suppliers are judged, as never before, on their success in meeting deadlines.
Mayerson says: "The biggest challenge is convincing people that deadlines are serious. ... In some countries, people just want to talk about the deadlines a lot; in other countries, they're very dead-on and love being regimented - they take it on as a challenge." Mayerson predicts that the regions embracing faster, deadline-driven production will compete better in today's economy than those that continue operating at a more relaxed pace.
On the development side, too, Mayerson says, many designers and merchandisers have long been in the habit of waiting until the last moment to make sure the design is "just right." Such delays in finalizing products threaten delivery dates. Once PLM is implemented, these perfectionists often chafe at the constraints imposed by the calendar.
Enabling customer-focused teams
Another cultural shift involves replacing functional "silos" with team-based development and production. Ivory is in the midst of reorganizing itself into customer-focused, self-managed teams reporting to a sourcing manager. Each team includes representatives of functions from development through delivery for a single retailer. Although every activity is assigned to a particular person or group, the team as a whole takes responsibility for meeting deadlines.
PLM reinforces team collaboration by making status updates and communications visible to everyone in the team. "If a person overseas has a problem with color approval, [the news] goes to the whole team, which requires that it gets done on time," Mayerson explains. "If they see red squares on the calendar, they know they're behind on an activity for a certain purchase order or style. ... And if they all know that a person is behind, the expectation is that they will go and help that person." By applying peer pressure, marshalling additional resources, and contributing creative new ideas, team members help each other meet their deadlines.
"My experience is that it's a more enjoyable and positive experience to work as a team, and it gets more positive results," Mayerson adds. "PLM facilitates that. Without PLM, it would be very difficult." (Mayerson notes that PLM can also be used to reinforce "silo" organization, if a company chooses to implement it in that way.)
Still, the transition from functional silos to customer-focused teams is difficult. "It's always a challenge to get people to see how it can help them individually," Mayerson says. His approach was to solicit input from skeptical team members - some of whom had been working for the company since before computers were introduced - and to listen seriously to their concerns. In response to their feedback, he tweaked many business rules to make sure each team was receiving the information its customer required. Variations among the customers, of which some are niche retailers and others are price-driven mass retailers, added complications. "We had to set up calendaring differently for each team and each manufacturing location," Mayerson says.
While Ivory is still three to six months away from measuring the results of this transformation, Mayerson expects to reduce time to market by 20 percent to 30 percent. He says: "PLM allows us to be transparent, to see work in progress at the factory level, and to manage by exception rather than trying to manage it all. That's the exciting potential of PLM."

Grats, have mine also. I'm going to apply for the Florida one later on when I get some money again.
That covers all the states then (well, all that have shall issue).

Thanks to whoever posted on here about getting the Pennsylvania Licence to carry.I can now carry in 23 states now that I have My NH and PA license.Now I have to see about the other 27 states.

Grats, have mine also. I'm going to apply for the Florida one later on when I get some money again.

Congrats. Actually it's pretty funny... my wife had just received hers today too.. so I guess we won't be the only people at Walmart tonight... eating nachos.

How hard is it to get the Florida license?
Have Fun and Shoot Straight !!
The FL license is easy to get. You need to request the application and finger print card and the little How To Get Licensed booklet.
You send them a copy of your training certificate. They even accept hunter ed. You send in the completed fingerprint card, passport photo, and application and $117 money order.
I got mine in 1.5 months.
Since you already have a license you may just send them a copy of that. I'm not sure how it works for people that have a license already.
Here is the info http://licgweb.doacs.state.fl.us/weapons/apply.html
I forgot you also have to have the application notarized
It still has to be validated with a WalMart run for nachos!
ALWAYS carry! - NEVER tell!
"A superior Operator is best defined as someone who uses his superior
judgement to keep himself out of situations that would require a display of his
superior skills."
Congratulations and well done!
Thank you for that reminder, I got my own PA non-res a couple weeks ago but havn't made that necessary Wal-Mart validation trip yet!
Now if only WV would allow non-resident licensure. Ohio refuses to grant reciprocity, WV will recognize VA only if one is a VA resident ... so unless and until WV starts granting non-resident licensures, I'm out of luck!
(If I had nothing to complain about I would not be happy!)

Oh gawd, I just thought of something.
I only did the Wally World run once, and I also have a NH as well as a PA.
Now I need to make two more nacho runs :( .
Florida is the one I got to complement my PA LTCF (I'm a PA resident). As said, it is relatively easy to get--the most painful part is the fee. They have a fairly extensive list of what counts as training, and they even process them relatively promptly.
Okay, they processed mine in about 45 days, and from that sample size, I hereby conclude that Florida is awesome.

Newcomer Tyler Dean Brings Music and Quite a Country Pedigree to the WBKR Studio [VIDEO]
It's always great to have new country artists stop by and share their music. Tuesday afternoon was no exception when newcomer Tyler Dean stopped by to give us a couple of acoustic numbers on his guitar, share some stories, and let us hear his new single.
He whipped out his guitar and sang an Exile song that, frankly, I had never before heard and then he sang "Your Man," a song by one of his idols, Josh Turner.
Tyler's name was somewhat familiar but I didn't know why. But he explained to me that, although only 23, he's been recording for nearly 14 years. In fact, his first single–released in 2004–was pop.
During the course of our conversation, he revealed that he'd only been playing the guitar for about a year and that that was kind of odd considering his family. So I asked if he had a musical family. He said something along the lines of, "You could say that."
Then he casually told me that country music legend Ronnie McDowell is his father. Yeah, I'd say he has a musical family. This was very cool and Tyler and I chatted about his dad. I met Ronnie a couple of times when he did shows at the Executive Inn back in the 90s and I had introduced him. Very nice man.
And his son's a chip off the old block…in more ways than one.

Updated 11:15 a.m. ET
The next few days are critical to Herman Cain's presidential campaign.
The GOP contender says he'll make a decision "before Monday" on the future of his White House bid, as he deals with fallout from accusations of an extramarital affair. Cain is likely to sit down with his wife, Gloria, and his family today to discuss whether he drops out.
"I've got to consider family considerations first," he said in an interview last night with Sean Hannity on Fox News.
STORY: Cain drops in Iowa
PHOTOS: Political sex scandals
PHOTOS: 2012 GOP presidential field
In what has been an incredible week for Cain -- a businessman who enjoyed an improbable rise and then predictable fall in public opinion polls -- more details came out Thursday that raise questions on whether he'll stay in the race.
Ginger White, the Atlanta woman who came forward Nov. 28, told WXIA-TV in Atlanta that she'd be "surprised" if Gloria Cain did not know about her. She said money she received from Herman Cain "went to rent. Sometimes to keep the lights on."
In a separate MSNBC interview Thursday night, White said her relationship with Cain over 13 years "wasn't a love affair. It was a sexual affair, as hard as that is for me to say and as hard as it is for people to hear it."
Cain acknowledged his wife, Gloria, did not know about White or his financial assistance to her until White came forward this week. On advice of counsel, Cain would not say in his interviews with Fox or earlier in the day with the Union Leader in New Hampshire how much money he provided to White.
"She was hurt," Cain said on Fox about his wife. "She has forgiven me, and she loves me."
When pressed by Hannity about whether an affair could be proved by going through hotel bills or surveillance videotape, Cain got a little testy.
"Sean, do me a favor, let's not play detective," he said to Hannity, who is a friend. "I am going to re-establish my character. ... My attorney is working on that. But I don't want to play detective right now."
In a sign of the political impact on Cain, a new Iowa Poll shows he has fallen 15 percentage points since October. Cain, once neck-and-neck with Mitt Romney in the survey by TheDes Moines Register, is at 8%.
Since the last Iowa Poll, Cain has battled accusations of sexual harassment stemming from his tenure at the National Restaurant Association. Then White told her story to WAGA-TV.

Combating Violent Crime
Gainesville City Commission approved the police department's request for money to fund a violent crime task force on Monday. The group of 12 officers will work overtime and pay confidential informants to pursue violent criminals in the community. The money is coming from the department's contraband seizure fund.
Police say they still had to get the commission's approval to spend the cash. Although the number of armed robberies has gone up in recent years, police say only certain people are being targeted.
"If you are a non-drug selling member of the community, the odds of you getting hit on a home invasion robbery is almost nil," Lt. Keith Kameg with the Gainesville Police Department said.
The task force leader says his squad's job is never done. He says even when they arrest a repeat offender, the court system often letes them back on the streets. They say keeping them behind bars is their number one objective.

ERIN AND JEREMY 'S WEDDINGMay, 2009 in Santa Rosa Beach
"Getting married on Santa Rosa Beach was absolutely perfect in May. The temp was great and the ocean was beautiful. We used Weatherall Fine Art as our wedding reception venue, and they offer packages to have the ceremony just a quick stroll away on the beach, which worked out perfect for our guests. We loved working with Weatherall. They stayed in contact with us for the entire year prior to the big day and helped us with many dilemmas we faced with outside vendors and advice (which turned out to be invaluable based on their local knowledge). I would highly recommmend this venue to take the stress out of your wedding day and to have a truly beach elegant wedding."

"Heather Weatherall was very organized and efficient in making our wedding day run smooth and perfect! She took the worrying out of the whole day for the bride & groom. I highly recommend this vendor as not only a great venue but also a great wedding coordinator service."
Marriage Ceremony on Beach186 Gulfview Heights St
"Weatherall came up with the decor for the ceremony, and I must admit it was more beautiful then I had imagined it would be! The bamboo arch and fabric draped on it were absolutely beautiful blowing in the wind. The cermony started right on time with no problems. The wedding coordinator, Heather, made sure that all participants were in place and ready to go! She made the day so easy for the bride & groom. We did not worry about a thing, other than having a great time. The beach clears out around 5PM in the area of Gulfview Heights beach access, so there were no real issues with the beach being crowded, and generally people respect your privacy when having a ceremony here."
Weatherall Fine Art3730 Highway 30A
"We started our reception off with a cocktail hour followed by dinner and dancing. Weatherall offers several menu options, which allows you to tailor both the cocktail hour and dinner to your guests' tastes, which is exactly what we did. The food was wonderful! I had several of our guests come up to us and tell us that the reception and ceremony were the best they had ever been to, and I know this is because of the professionalism and special touches that Weatherall offers. They worked directly with the cake vendor for us, all we had to do was tell them what we wanted and send a few photos of what we liked, and the rest was up to Weatherall. Our cake was delicious and so pretty!"

Age of Decadence - Of Doors, Locks and Traps
Vince has posted some information on doors, locks and traps and the associated game mechanics for The Age of Decadence on their forums. Several screens are used to illustrate, so take a look.
More information.
Umm, this was actually originally posted in February.
Well, that's embarrassing…thanks for pointing it out.
So what if it's "old", I haven't see it before so it's news to me.
It's new to me as well.
I like how just with one door that there were a lot of different options to choose from based on the 'lore'.

Fantastic location, great neighborhood, close to everything
This was our first visit to this wonderful vacation home, so we really did not know what to expect. It was perfect! The home is wonderful, and the back yard pool with a privacy fence is absolutely outstanding. Any time we had a question or something we were unsure of, the owner responded very quickly. We will definitely be back again next year!

I first want to say how wonderful it was to stay in such a peaceful and relaxing area. The home was perfectly located near shops and restaurants, but far enough away that allowed us to truly feel relaxed. The home has such a great layout as well. The heated pool and lanai was way better than expected. We found the home to be sufficiently stocked with everything we needed. The owners were great to communicate with and always responded very quickly. Our little family of four made many memories that will be cherished for years to come.

The listing and pictures are very accurate; the property was in pristine condition and well-maintained; the owners were very supportive/responsive when questions arose. My wife is already planning a return trip!!
Very nice rental property. The pool was great, landscaping very nice..

How to stay healthy this holiday season
Preventing the flu and cold
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - It's that time of the year again.
The holiday season brings gifts, food and family, but it also invites in the cold, flu and other illnesses.
December and January is when doctors see more cases of illnesses.
"The weather is going to start changing this week, we're going to get more colds and flu," Dr. John Torres said.
Torres said in order to stay healthy this holiday season a person must wash their hands, maintain a healthy diet and exercise.
He said people tend to gain more weight because of the holidays.
Torres feels he along with other doctors in the state will be occupied this winter.
"I feel every clinic in the state will be very busy this time of the year, especially as we get closer to the holiday season," Torres said.
The doctor said this is a great time to receive a flu shot, because the flu season will continue to get worse and it will take two weeks for the shot to take its full effect.
