An ancient river, centuries-old shops and restaurants steeped in a 2000-year history and
culture set the scene. The ambiance seemed divinely contrived to facilitate the purposes of
our meeting and the very fodder from which the greatest poets are sustained.
Not newcomers to the area, Kay P. and I were assigned to the Army Security Agency Field
Station in Augsburg, Germany in 1974. We were colleagues in the intelligence community
with no romantic overtures to our relationship, save an appreciation of poetry and profound
philosophical discussions. Kay wanted to spend the evening with a poet, so we planned the
evening to be appropriate for the purpose.
At the time and place, we quickly found ourselves hopelessly immersed in the philosophical
foundations of my writings throughout the evening. It was the first time since Vietnam that
I'd felt worthy as a person. I still recall sipping the red wine and feeling the warmth of the
large hearth inside the Balkan eatery. I still see the swans gliding by on the Lech flowing by
our café.
When windowpanes begin to weep with autumn's chilly dew,
I'm taken back through seasons passed to one delight held true,
A rendezvous that time allowed, a gentle evening spent
Amid a time of long discord when days were dreary bent.
I feel the stretch upon my lips, the smile returns once more.
Again, I smell the Balkan fare prepared on Lech's old shore,
The mood is cast in high regard, the wine is tart and dry,
As Augsburg ripples in the wake when swans go gliding by.
The ancient windows frame our view and day begins to wane
As rivulets meander down and streak the dampened panes.
The ambiance of ages passed beseeched us not to leave
And held us in its warm embrace throughout the ebbing eve.
My heart was scarred, without regard and hardened by the war
But her esteem unveiled its worth, while nothing had before.
She saw the child that once was me, I'd long since cast aside,
And bade he climb astride his mount, engage his life and ride.
Now, she is but a memory, whose kindness soothed my heart,
For we embarked upon our lives on paths ordained to part.
Her subtle way escaped my eye till time had made it clear
That her esteem had set me free, that night I hold so dear.
The poetry that filled my soul remains these many years,
Impassioned in my warmest thoughts when autumn first appears,
When windowpanes begin to weep, a-glisten with the dew,
And I return to seasons passed, to one delight held true.

Sometimes on the road of life
Change becomes the norm
When you think, "The sky is true"
The horizon brews a storm
Some storms last but a minute
Like a ship they sail right by
Other storms seem to be
As endless as the sky
Some storms come with a flood
As life gets washed away
Other storms shake the ground
As mountains crumble into clay
Storms come in many sizes
They come in many shapes
Storms come in many forms
Some bless while others rape
As we face the storms of life
They change who we are
Sometimes, we're the clouds
Other times we're the stars
Storms have one thing in common
One day they too shall pass
As a car rolls to a stop
Storms run out of gas
After the storm has passed us by
A seed sprouts to a flower
Each petal seems to be
Exuding strength and power
I have weathered many storms
Their lines map my face
In their wake I have found
Love is my saving grace
I don't know what this poem means
I don't know if I ever will
All I know is that right now
This poem is how I feel

I never knew following dreams could be this lonely,
But up on the hill, looking back, thank God I'm not the old me.
If the tears will fall, let them be;
I believe this is God's plan, follow your dreams.

As you ponder each turn that has landed you here,
taut tempo will quicken and frail futures loom near.
Take one somber moment, step away from the din:
The voyage, the detours, the past and what's been.
You look back behind you to retrace every mile.
It bring tears of regret and the trace of a smile.
Hang on first, then let go, due to whimsy or age.
What you keep in the end is the test of a sage.
Fools still ignore the supreme ticks of the clock,
in each change in fashion, embraced by the flock.
Walk on and ignore them, don't bother to chide,
these pathetic lemmings swept away by the tide.
Peer off in the distance as you fight off the chill.
You must climb still further to the top of the hill.
Play the tailor to time, cut and trim, make it fit.
Find the time in your life. Take time to enjoy it.

When it's quiet, I'm alone and nobody can see,
I withdraw to the world I invent,
Where my thoughts are my own, nobody will judge,
And I breathe my own little lament.
I'm safe on this raft, this raft of my truth,
My truth where I'm no longer blind.
Where everything's real, as real as the wind,
The wind blowing around in my mind.
My eyes are shut tight, all entry is locked,
My ears only hear the silence of dry,
And my mind wonders, to the edge of the world,
And tiptoes on the clouds in the sky.
I love when it's quiet and I'm alone in my head,
And I can love all there is in my heart,
And appreciate all that I ever will be,
And exist in an imagination of art.

Dear moment, this moment, this small little moment,
Do you know how important you are?
Do you know how you're a part of me, moment,
How you're the biggest moment by far?
You're my big little moment, in this moment of time,
You're the best little moment to find,
And I wish we could chat but I see that you've gone,
Disappeared to the back of my mind.

A fleeting still small voice tries to warn me
A sudden overwhelming desire to run
The tell tale taste of metallic flakes
Means my nightmare has begun
Everything around takes on a ghostly pallor
A landscape of anguish and corrosion
A moment of silence before the violence
The flash of light, the brilliant explosion
The sound of the Sun fills my ears
Fear, my throat, though none escapes me
And paralyzed I clench my eyes
As my tormentor prepares to rape me
And it's endeavor is absolute
Consumption is its ultimate goal
It exists to chase me so it can erase me
Whilst feasting on my soul
And then that familiar salty smell
The sudden rush of warmth so stings
Engaging me relentlessly
In vile unspeakable things
Over and over and over again
My limbs stretched and wrought
As it's teeth tear my bones bare
It's mind defiles my thoughts
And still wounds beget wounds beget wounds
As in the mouth of madness I suffer
And with every injury he just seems to be
Rougher and rougher and rougher
Then just as suddenly as it began it ceases
And for a moment I am clearer
And then the true horror of it all
Is revealed in a darkly lit mirror
There in front of me stands my destroyer
Face flush with it's fill of my pain
And I find that it's eyes and mine
My God, they're one in the same

Have you ever listened to the silence?
Alone in the giant trees
Have you ever experienced your soul?
Being totally at ease
Have you ever stood atop a volcano?
Felt its trembling power
Ever smelled the sulfur boiling in the pits
Man that sure is sour
Have you ever loved with all that you are?
Holding nothing back
Have you ever completely lost who you are?
Trying to find your way back
Have you ever stood atop a mountain?
Cursed the Lord above
Have you ever sat alone in a Prison cell?
Accepting his forgiving love
You know I have been an evil man
Every sense of the word
In my memory I remember screams
Tormenting to be heard
So much I wish that I could forget
So much I have to tell
About the emptiness you feel inside
The pure solitude of hell
My life no longer belongs to me
I am on a quest
To show the world a man can be
Beyond any test
My pain is deep and my spirits are high
Eagle gliding in the sky
Brave enough to fight any man
Strong enough to cry
A rock to those who know me well
A leader in the night
A warrior that would never run
God I love the fight
A tender man of true compassion
My wife taught me well
That's why everything that I can be
I offer to her spell
Angels come with big brown eyes
Strong enough at heart
They encourage you to rise above
Finish what you start
Sometimes when I start to write
I fall into a trance
And the poem becomes a partner
Gliding in a dance
Where the poem goes is with the flow
I just tag along
I try real hard to keep the beat
Swaying with the song
Some parts are good and others bad
Some are in between
But from the first word to the last
The soul in me is seen
I pray before that final curtain call
I will have left my mark
That people will think back and say
The light rose from the dark
Everyone must choose their own way
I am no one to lead
If you wish to make your life a garden
I have some real good seed
Always be totally honest with yourself
The person that you are
Space is a place full of dark matter
Grasp to your own star
Be strong enough to always open up
Let go of what you hide
Because in the overall scheme of things
They're a nowhere ride
If you wish to hold the one you love
Always let it show
Remember that they must be free
We all need room to grow
Trust in them with all that you are
Never forget to show
That they are the one you will adore
To the ending of the show
Due to the length I joined the four line stanzas together

A wish is hope, all dressed up
A heart that needs to sing...
And I have 3 songs today,
Hopes and wishes, that I bring...
I wish yesterday was today
So I could change some things...
I seem so much wiser now,
A different song I'd sing...
I wish I had the power
To make my fellows see...
That hate wont set the table,
But love is always free
I wish that I could write a poem
That everyone would read...
Something with a message,
To plant a fruitful seed
We all would like to think
That magic might come our way...
And that some Genie just might grant,
Our hopes and wishes for today

Imagine someone finished all your thoughts
and never failed to share your point of view.
Would your reflection really be your own
if one you mirrored also mirrored you?
I think it would be nice to be real close
to someone else, but picture him your clone. . .
If one you mirrored also mirrored you,
would your reflection really be your own?
I saw a show about a pair of twins.
They've stayed the same in all they say and do.
Would your reflection really be your own
if one you mirrored also mirrored you?
What mystery or fun in partnerships
if there were always everything foreknown?
If one you mirrored also mirrored you,
would your reflection really be your own?
If bonds of love were colors, could they thrive
if they remained the one same constant hue?
Would your reflection really be your own
if one you mirrored also mirrored you?
If you reflected someone flesh and soul. . .
Together would you not still be alone?
If one you mirrored also mirrored you,
would your reflection really be your own?
I would not like to know my whole sweet life
were being lived by not just one, but two!
Would your reflection really be your own
if one you mirrored also mirrored you?

He's staring again, standing by his balcony door
The way he did each morning, even when I was there
Writhing in pain after my heart from my chest he tore
And as I walk away, my heart on my sleeve I wear
The emotional abuse was unconscionable
Yet for years I clung to hope he'd appreciate me
But his anger just grew, attacks became physical
Till I'd had enough and desired only to be free
My clothing, my perfume, many things remain behind
I'm standing now an I'm finally walking away
Wondering why for far too long I chose to stay blind
Proud I had the strength to leave, I greet a new spring day

Erase a word
Mundane and wrought
Smoldering fire
Of indifferent thought
Pluck a phrase
Wild and untamed
Primordial howl
Of random flame
Sing a verse
Naked and free
Poetic gale
Of crashing seas
Tell a tale
Endearing and true
Passionate prose
Of life's muse
Ask a heartbeat
Women and men
Who feels
100 shards of pen

Marching down life's highway, my feet became very sore
I then came upon a sign that read "Heaven's Grocery Store"
When I got closer the doors swung open wide
Next thing I knew I was standing there inside
I saw a flock of angels positioned everywhere
They handed me a basket and said, "Child shop with care."
Everything a human required was in that grocery store
With many commodities to carry, you could always come back for more
First I acquired some Patience; Love was in that same row
Further down was Understanding, you require that everywhere you go
I grabbed a box of Wisdom and Faith, a bag or two
And obtained Charity of course but more than just a few
And then reached for Courage to help me run this wicked race
My basket was almost full but remembered some loving Grace
I then chose Salvation for it was advertised as free
I tried to collect enough of that for both you and me
Then I started to the counter to pay my grocery bill
For I thought I had everything to do the Master's will
As I went up the aisle, I saw Prayer and proceeded put that in
For I knew when I stepped outside I was bound to encounter sin
Peace and Joy were plentiful, the last thing on that shelf
Song and Praise were hanging near so I just helped myself
Then I asked an angel, "Now how much do I owe?"
She smiled and said, "Just take them wherever you may go."
Again I asked, "No really, how much do I owe?"
"My child," she said, "God paid your bill a long time ago."

Often I dream of better days
Where it was not so hard to cope
A place where there is peace of mind
And the streets are full of hope
The anger that I feel inside
With days of being stressed
The hurt, the pain, the sorrow
Can all be laid to rest
A place where I can find that peace
Surrounded by family and friends
Maybe that is the pot of gold
That lies where the rainbow ends.

I'll stay away…
from what brings pain
What makes tears fall
like acid rain
I'll stay away…
from what is fake
What makes my heart
about to break
I'll stay away….
From a false friend
Who makes my hope
Reach bitter end
I'll stay away…
From selfish quest
What makes me lose
What I love best
I'll stay away….
From hurtful write
That plunges soul
In darkest night
I'll stay away…
From words untrue
What gives false love
In shaded hue
I'll stay close to…
what brings me life
What makes my heart
Free from all strife
I'll stay close to…
What feeds my soul
What makes my heart
Feel light and whole
I'll stay close to….
What brings delight
What brings me joy
In darkest night
I'll stay close to…..
What I adore
What feeds me heart
Has love in store
I'll stay close to….
What's good and true
And so I'll stay
Right close to you.
Eileen Manassian
People have different tolerance levels for pain. I have a very low threshold. Fragile and brittle...I break easily, and sometimes the repair work takes forever. Thus, I have found that it's best to stay away from potential heartache and pain. Sometimes we torture ourselves by reading or listening to things that will just drive that nail in deeper into our hearts. Why? That is self torture. There is enough pain in life to bring us down. We don't need to make it worse. So...sometimes keeping a distance is best. Not out of hate....it could be disappointed love...unmet expectations...previous painful experiences....or it could just be called....SELF PRESERVATION.
Thanks for reading!

We celebrate the optimist
Extolling his cheery ways
As the light shines upon him
We think he's worthy of our praise
He seems to have the answers
With him the future's always bright
Convincing us that darkness
Is a form of blackened light
Not a thing seems to phase him
He surveys life from on high
Floating above the misery
With a twinkle in his eye
All the while the pessimist
Occupies a gloomy place
Warning us of the dangers
That none of us wish to face
We want rainbows and buttercups
A world that is cheerful and bright
We fear arbiters of darkness
For we think they will take our light
It's wise to listen carefully
The pessimist might be right
Don't choose a veil of ignorance

I wish I had the knowledge of
lifes most important things
knew how to end lifes problems
and all the pain it brings.
I don't know much of anything
but I do know how pain feels
and I know this life is filled
with too many bad deals.
I always try to understand
what others say and do
because I may not really know
just what they have been through.
I never want to cause more pain
that doesn't have to be
and pray that someone else in turn
will do the same for me.

Ablaze with the warmth of eternity
Vibrant and resonate in essence
Where truth is not lost to uncertainty
And strength is born from its presence.
A color owed tribute for birth
Crimson, the hue of our being
What price is placed on its worth
When in blood we've given it meaning.

So words become; the order of the day
and order of the day becomes
the soldiered meaning of all work and play,
the ever present, beating drums.
Then words become; the lure of the lie
and liars lure every son
with shadows of gold 'til they all but die,
to retire, to be, to be done.
And then, once again; the words become
the order of every day
to sleep, to awake, to be dead and done,
'til all words fly, ever away.

You think me silly and verbose
When love is on my mind…
Fickle fickle full of fluff
Love sick, crazy, blind
Sexually overcharged
Big picture oblivious
And from your life discharged
You read my lines and smirk a while
And think, "Oh dear, Hee Hee!"
But when it comes right down to it
You wish you were like me (Women)
You'd jump in bed with me (men)
It might have a one track mind
But of that I am glad
Life has enough to bring me down
Enough to make me sad
I write of love and passion
And feelings so sublime
You don't need to read me
Nor be a friend of mine!
But of this I am certain
Of this I'm ever proud
Passion is my heartbeat
l let it beat OUT LOUD!
If you don't like sultry
Want nature writes and such
There's someone else to read
So, thank you very much!
Started on this poem some time ago, but left it unfinished. Not in the mood for something new, so I picked this one up and finished it. I don't JUST write about passion and romance and love, but....it is what I love best. I've accepted who I am and I will fight to preserve my identity. I'm tired of a world of people who are judgmental and stuffy....people who don't know how to FEEL and CELEBRATE passion. Thanks for reading.
Oh gentle rain
come to me now
please wash this pain from me
in lifes unkindness I'm immersed
and need to be set free
Oh gentle breeze
please breathe new life
into this dying soul
from my travels I am weary
refresh and make me whole
Oh flowers sweet
let me hide
among your beauty fair
touch me with your loveliness
and leave your beauty there
Oh come to me
in kindness please
with your gentle ways
the world it has inflicted me
and darkened all my days
Oh come to me
and touch my heart
please change this dark to light
take away the ugliness
that turned my day to night
I don't want to play any more,
it's time to put away my mask.
And although people need to laugh,
I'm simply not up to the task.
My act is not very funny,
and will probably be my last.
For like the white-face that I wear,
I'm just a relic of the past.
I find it hard to paint a smile,
on top of a permanent frown.
And yet, in costume I'm expected
to quickly flip frowns upside-down.
It has been a long time coming,
but I need to rethink my dream.
And try my hand at something else,
less emotionally extreme.
When I look into a mirror,
I want to see more than a clown.
And should someone asks what I do,
it'll no longer bring me down.

Today I sat in silence gently closing my eyes
Saying goodbye to sounds that makes our world alive
Slowly I started to drift, deeper into an unknown black
Where sound has never been heard, where life also lacked
The deeper and further I went, uncharted by any man
Where silenced echoed it's silence, right back to our future plan
In this void of soundless emptiness, dust particles brushed me so
Prompting me to open my eyes, allowing my eyes to glow
So fortunate I think to myself, being present at the beginning of time
Finding the truth of yesterdays tomorrows, now knowing where man has climbed
I watch the particles spinning, over millions and millions of years
Creating planets we know now, aligned are these magnificent spheres
Gradually I work my way back, enlightened at what I had viewed
Knowing that we are only a blip in time, being here is so misunderstood
So many follow their paths, knowing of their yonder
So today I sat in silence, gladly closing my eyes I wandered

My white-washed bars surrounded me -
they held me as I slept;
they soothed me when the days were long,
and mother's blue-eyes wept.
A baby girl, six months or less,
awakened from my sleep -
stood up legs as sure as hope;
as strong as flat is steep.
My hands, my saviors, gripped the rail
so I could peek outside –
the bluest sky I'd ever seen,
As tall as it was wide;
came into view - between the blue,
an airplane gliding by,
its smoky streamer like a flag,
across my memory's sky...
The memory is a simple one -
a window, sky, and plane -
but in my heart, it's heaven's door
and there it shall remain.
I've hung it on my memory's wall
Between that life and this –
It covers every hole I've dug
In sorrow's vast abyss.
This picture brings the special peace
I knew when I was small –
Where mother's just beyond the door,
and waiting for my call…
*Inspired by Danielle's Earliest Memory contest. I have blocked out almost every memory
from my childhood, and only a very few gems remain - this is the first. and I will treasure it

My mother starts moaning, with another one due.
She won't live to see, as she struggles to wheeze.
I never knew famine would produce skies so blue.
But no need for toilets, I forget how to squeeze.
Searing sun inflates skulls into baroque balloons.
One whining dog, dying , from a surfeit of fleas.
I squint as my sister beats a roach with a spoon.
She's holding out hope, with a morsel to tease.
My eyes can still water from the feces and trash,
tossed up by vultures to release fresh disease.
I dig up what moist dirt I can pound into mash.
An old man collapses, not a single one grieves.
What passes for corpses- baking black as they pop.
Now the flies feel the heat and retreat to the trees.
My brother keeps wailing and I wish he would stop.
My breathing grows shallow in the oven fed breeze.
If it helps each of you,
I am down on my knees.
I beg you.
Hand me one piece of bread.
Would you, please?
Only Man finds beauty in a star,
or gleans delight from a bird in flight.
And He's the only being thus far,
that can discriminate wrong from right.
Only Man can accommodate hate,
or feel the pain of love kept apart.
And alter the course of His own fate,
preventing problems before they start.
Only Man can decide to be kind,
or separate His wants from His needs.
And ease the burdens of soul and mind,
shaping His destiny by His deeds.
Only Man can realize His dreams,
or understand that He'll one day die.
And question what reality means,
distinguishing the truth from a lie.
Only Man believes He has a soul,
or that love exists within His heart.
And defining life, He takes control,
expressing hope in His works of art.
I've heard there are two paths you can go by,
I've read I ought to take the path less traveled;
I've made my own path despite,
Ever having given either path a gamble.
Lost traversing aimlessly through,
The lush spring prairies full of life;
I seem to unknowingly choose,
Desolate vast tundras of ice.
A colorless empty wasteland,
Slows down my once wondrous journey;
Turning my hue-less eyes face down,
Numbing the thoughts that concern me.
Selfishly I ponder on,
Giving myself a gander;
My lucid daydreams carry-on,
Struggling to turn my criticism to banter.
With no longing for a sunrise,
No interest in howling at the moon;
Only now in sunset skies,
I can feed my empty tomb.
I have known that for survival,
Trapped within this frigid glacial world;
Atonement flourished revival,
Sent within a single warm word.
Precipitous licking fire,
It's flares echo from up above;
Precipitates the muck and mire,
To precipitation of love.
Still off in the foggy distance,
I can faintly hear the tone;
Beckoning to my existence,
For my soul for whom the bell tolls.
My tortured weary body aches,
While my minds bright embers aglow;
The songbirds of sorrow awaits,
Reaping dark empty seeds I sow.
Devaluating precious time,
And prioritizing my pain;
Has left self-loathing in my prime,
With a pessimistic disdain.
Perhaps time isn't as real,
As understands our mind's perception;
It must just be the moments we feel,
More like a figment for recollection.
As the white sands of time flow through the glass,
I helplessly watch their numbers diminish;
With every grain another lapse,
With every moment that goes till it's finished.

one mans sunset
is another mans dawn
every second of the day
lives on and on
dawn is a traveler
traveling from east to west
bringing light to a world
darkness has left
decending and emerging
at the same time
insignificant man
fooled by his eye's
the earth has a shadow
but we call it night
it's fought by the moons
reflected light
but in the darkness
we see the stars
other planets in space
telling where we are
constant rotations
on a scale so large
days and seasons
so near so far
days months and years
before and behind
at birth a mystery
but now eternity in my mind

I stand here and watch the changing of seasons,
a summer of winters, an autumn of springs,
I stand here in thought, not knowing the reasons,
to the meaning of life, how the caged bird still sings.
I stand here and watch as the years pass me by,
regrets of my past, what my life might have been,
I stand here and muse over one butterfly,
freed from the prison it had put itself in.
I stand here and watch as the dark turns to day,
the first glimpse of sunrise, a shimmer of light,
I stand here and wonder where clouds go to play
would they take me with them when day turns to night?
I stand here on guard while my inner self dreams,
of a world free of hurting, a life blank of stain,
I stand here and listen while my inner self screams,
with fear in his eyes and a soul filled with pain.
I stand here alone, memories by my side,
a flood of emotions, bittersweet in my mind,
I stand here unknown with the tears I have cried,
searching for answers in a world where I'm blind.

The last great snowflake standing
Little snowflakes fell swiftly
All around the house they fell
Eight male flakes_three little girls
House was lively in winter
As they all warmed by the fire
Boys' boistour tales, girls brush long hair
Then silence all rested heads
At four A.M. each morn_chores
Breakfast, lunch packed off to school
Walking that long mile was rule
School was important dad said
Soon the oldest snowflake wed
As life goes all followed him
Leaving the warm hearth behind
Some of them to produce twins
As life goes_death visited
All their humble doors sadness
Some had children die at birth
And some at very young age
What they saw in their lifetime
Changes that took place_cars_planes
Atom bomb that ended war
None their warm family disgraced
Death started visiting doors
One above middle went home first
Then slowly they all went home
But dad was the last snowflake

At this time, let me turn the call over to Brad Whitmarsh, Vice President of Investor Relations at Kosmos Energy.
Brad Whitmarsh - IR: Thanks operator and thanks to all of you for joining us today. This morning, we issued our year-end earnings release, which is accessible on the Investor's page of the kosmosenergy.com website. Later this morning, we anticipate filing our 2012 10-K with the SEC.
Joining me on the call for our comments this morning are Brian Maxted, CEO; Greg Dunlevy, Executive Vice President and CFO; and Darrell McKenna, our Chief Operating Officer. Following brief comments, we will have a question-and-answer session. Consistent with prior calls, I'd ask the participants to keep your questions to one primary and one follow-up. This will help ensure that we get to all who are on the call today. If they are questions that we are unable to get to within one hour time frame, please feel free to call me later.
Before we get started, I'd like to mention that this conference call includes certain forward-looking statements based our current expectations. The risks associated with forward-looking statements have been outlined in the earnings release and in our SEC filings. We may also refer to certain non-GAAP financial measures in our discussion. We believe such measures are important in looking at the Company's historical and future performance and these are commonly referred to metrics in the industry. These measures are provided in addition to and should be read in conjunction with the information contained in our financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP and included in our SEC filings.
At this time, I'd like to turn the call over to Brian.
Brian F. Maxted - CEO: Thanks Brad. In today's call I want to touch briefly on 2012 and then focus on the present in 2013 and our strong future. Greg will follow with a financial discussion before handing over to Darrell for an operations update.
Looking back, 2012 was a strong year for our Company and we entered in our best position ever, operationally, financially, as well as organizationally. As a result, we have an attractive long-term platform for growth. We are building and maturing a world-class exploration portfolio, that provides transformation outside opportunities.
Our position offshore Ghana is only the initial success for Kosmos, representing the foundation from which we will grow our business. In 2012, we've significantly matured and de-risked these assets, growing production and cash flows to record levels, progressing our next (store department) further into the face of our earlier discoveries as well.
At Jubilee, the early part of the year was focused on overcoming productivity problems, which we resolved successfully, and did so at much lower cost than earlier planned. We're also began implementing in the Phase 1A development program, and as we looked at the year with the Jubilee production at approximately 110,000 barrels of oil per day, a record levels for the field and up 70% from the beginning of the year.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - UAB sophomore right-hander James Oliver entered Tuesday night's game in the eighth inning with runners on first and second and one out and carried the Blazers to the finish line for a 7-6 victory over Troy at Young Memorial Field. UAB improves to 10-11 on the year thanks to Oliver's performance in earning his first save of the season, and junior second baseman Tyler Rollin, who went 2-for-4 with three RBI in the game. Troy is now 13-9 with the loss.
UAB junior right-hander Dustin Colburn (2-1) earned the win on Tuesday after containing an explosive offensive team, allowing four earned runs in 6.0 innings of work in which he struck out three batters.
Right-hander Jeff Green (1-2) was the losing pitcher for Troy after he allowed three runs in 2.0 innings.
Rollin was a key reason for the Blazers scoring seven runs between the fourth and sixth innings as he had two doubles to help manufacture three runs. Junior outfielder Phil Bell was also impressive at the plate, going 3-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored while stealing one base.
Senior catcher Danny Sawyer was 2-for-4 against the Trojans with two runs scored and an RBI, while junior first baseman Ryan Keedy, senior third baseman Ryne Lovdahl and senior center fielder J.R. Bond all had one hit for the game.
UAB had only allowed three home runs all season heading into Tuesday's matchup, however that number doubled, as the Trojans left the yard three times. Going long for Troy were center fielder Ian Craze, first baseman Josh Dew and right fielder Clint Robinson.
The two long shots appeared to wake up the UAB bats as the Blazers came up in the bottom half of the fourth and registered four runs of their own to take a 4-2 lead. Lovdahl began the rally when he led-off the inning by singling through the left side and then Bond followed by legging out a single to the shortstop. Lovdahl would come around to score on a Sawyer single and the Bond crossed home plate on a Bell single. In all, the Blazers got four runs on five hits and one error in the big inning.
After an economical fifth inning, Troy got the scoring going and regained the lead again in the sixth, scoring three runs, two of which came via Robinson's two-run blast over the right field wall.
Again the Blazers answered, scoring three runs of their own in the bottom of the sixth, thanks to a two-run double down the left field line by Rollin that put UAB on top 7-5.
Troy would get one more run home in the eighth inning, however it was Oliver who dashed the Trojans hope of pulling off a come-from-behind victory as the Blazers prevailed, 7-6.
UAB will be back in action at Young Memorial Field on Wednesday night at 7 p.m. when it hosts Alabama A&M.

Citation: Sarvary, M.A., Hight, S.D., Carpenter, J.E., Bloem, S., Bloem, K.A., Dorn, S. 2008. Identification of factors influencing flight performance of field-collected and laboratory-reared, overwintered, and nonoverwintered cactus moths fed with field-collected host plants. Environmental Entomology. 37(5):1291-1299. Interpretive Summary: A moth native to northern Argentina was found in North America for the first time in 1989. This moth is damaging only to prickly pear cactus. The insect's spread from the Florida Keys along the coast of southeastern United States to Alabama and South Carolina has raised concerns about this moth's unavoidable and unwanted impact on native, agricultural, and ornamental cactus in its new homeland. The bright orange-red, black-spotted caterpillars are eating all species of prickly pear cacti with flat pads. Scientists with USDA Center for Medical, Agricultural and Veterinary Entomology in Tallahassee, FL and Crop Protection and Management Research Unit in Tifton, GA are looking into ways of controlling this insect in urban, agricultural, and natural settings. Experiments were conducted on the flight capacity of adult cactus moths. Comparisons were made between insects from the spring generation and adults from the summer generation. Spring flying adults were derived from caterpillars that spent the winter slowly developing on slow growing cactus whereas caterpillars of the summer flying moths rapidly developed under higher temperatures and on rapidly growing cactus plants. There were no differences between the flight capacity of females versus males. Although females from the spring generation were larger than females from the summer, they did not differ in their flight capacity. Mated females also flew the same as unmated females, suggesting that mated females may play an important role in invading new habitats. Male moths from the spring generation flew longer distances than males from the summer. This is advantageous for the overwintered cactus moth males to locate females in the spring when the insects are more patchily dispersed than other times of the year.
Technical Abstract: Environmental conditions during egg and larval development may influence the dispersal ability of insect pests, thus requiring seasonal adjustment of control strategies. We studied the longest single flight, total distance flown and the number of flights initiated by wild Cactoblastis cactorum (Berg) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) to determine whether the flight performance of overwintered cactus moths with a prolonged feeding phase during development differs from non-overwintered cactus moths. Pupae of field-collected and laboratory-reared moths were transported together from the USA to Switzerland and flight mills were used to characterize the flight capacity of 24 to 48 h old adults during their most active period of the diel cycle. The lack of seasonal variation in flight performance of those moths that developed under controlled environment but were fed with field-collected Opuntia cacti showed that seasonal changes in host plant quality did not affect flight. This consistent flight performance in the mass-reared laboratory population throughout the year is beneficial for Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) programs, which aim to limit the dispersal of this pest. For field-collected C. cactorum the larger overwintered females performed similarly to non-overwintered females, indicating that longer feeding time at lower temperatures increases body size but does not influence female flight capacity. Young mated females had a similar flight capacity as unmated ones, suggesting that gravid females may play an important role in invading new habitats. For males, overwintering increased the proportion of long distance flyers, suggesting that they are well-adapted to locate the more sparsely dispersed females in the spring.

Is gay marriage really about sex? | Andrew Brown
There are 64 comments on the The Guardian story from Jan 31, 2013, titled Is gay marriage really about sex? | Andrew Brown. In it, The Guardian reports that:
The Christian conservative response to the question of what should be done about the sexual instincts of gay people is intrinsically flawed 'Protestants can see sex is something good in itself, within faithful relationships.

Quite the opposite, I think gay marriage is all about love and commitment, not sex. Personally I have no issues with two people committing to each other for their lives, and pledging fidelity, regardless of their sexual organs. Furthermore, what people do in the privacy of their homes is none of my business, and vice versa. Really dont understand the uproar over gay marriage. How in the world is the fact tow gay people getting married is going to demean or besmirch the sanctity of my heterosexual marriage? Seems to me God looks a lot more favorably on Jim Nabors getting married after 38 years with the same partner, than he does on Elizabeth Taylor traipsing up the aisle 8 times.

Gotta agree with Normal Guy. Adding to that, I have a nephew whos is gay and is aching to find a committed relationship in which they can have a family just like any hetro couple. Even if they couple has no interst in children, they need the basic "married" legal rights such as in the case of illness hospital visitations, medical decisions etc. It's heartbreaking hearing him speak about it.

It's refreshing to see the two posts from Normal Guy and mmmmyes. I think more and more people are seeing that marriage equality is not going to be the collapse of society! There is just less and less for the haters to vilify and soon they will start turning on themselves.
#12 Feb 1, 2013
Then you don't understand what marriage is nor do you understand the role that sex plays in making a marriage in the first place. Where gay men, particularly, misunderstand marriage is in the vows of fidelity and monogamy.
#13 Feb 1, 2013
Precisely! Ironically, I am a fairly conservative person on most issues, and a devout Christian. However, my belief teaches me over and over, that it is not my place to judge others on thsi Earth, that is God's job. I have my hands full just making sure I abide with my beliefs, and quite frankly don't have the time nor desire to stick my nose into other's issues. My philosophy is that there are 2 kinds of people: good ones and bad ones. There are no subsets in terms of sex, sexual persuasion, race, creed, or anything else. My heart goes out to the previous posters cousin. How unfair that he be denied the same path to happiness as straight people.

My spouse and I have been together for a long time, and I can tell you with no equivocation that our union is definitely not about sex and sex alone. It is a very small part of our relationship, compared to all the rest of the time in our lives. Our relationship is about love, respect, companionship, and security. I would hope the same motivates heteros in their marriages, as well.

Nice Noq.
Exactly how does Jade's decision to live his life evoke such a response? Are you a Christian? Do you believe in the Bible? Do you know the verse Matthew 7:1-6 Judge not, that you be not judged."?
I implore to search your soul, and realize that all of us our God's creation, perceived faults and all. Ultimately, it is God that will decide how we lived our lifes on Earth. Personally, I think he probably has greater issues with a lot of behaviors than he does with Jade's sexual preference. Live and let live my friend.

And so now you are the spokesperson about fidelity and monogamy? Oh, that's right because only straight marriages are full of fidelity and monogamy. Guess that explains the high divorce rate. All those people at least divorce before screwing around, right? Pick another excuse, that was an epic fail.

Interesting point Jade.(Frankly I didnt even notice your avatar until he went off on his rant). It is so rare to have an honest and frank discussion on these boards. Was wondering if you could give me your perspective. Frankly, have never really discussed sexual issues with someone gay, probably more from my own shyness than anything else. Cant fathom why some are disgusted by seeing something as innocuous as 2 men holding hands, but have no problem watching 2 straight speedo clad swimmers hug each other after winning the Olympics. To take it a step further, have no qualms about having anal sex with a woman (personally have no experience with this unfortunately), but are repulsed at the thought of some other guy that does the same thing, just with an anus that happens to belong to a guy. Do you really think this homophobia has something to do with a fear they have of having a gay thought now or then?

Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP) code: 13-9999
Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) code: 11-9032; 11-9033; 11-9099
About the Program
One of the great challenges of our time is the improvement of the American education system from pre-school through retirement. Once the envy of the world, there are cracks in the education crucible which must be repaired or reforged. The system has endured social, intellectual, and economic challenges beyond its capacity to respond in a way that provides a sound foundation for all Americans, while keeping our country safe and competitive for the future.
The MS in Education Improvement and Transformation program is designed to prepare professional educators—as well as other professionals whose career interests lie in leading significant change in education—in the process of initiating transformative (reform) in formal and informal education sectors.
The program is comprised of "Professional Development Concentrations" (PDC), each focusing on specific topics pertaining to the improvement and transformation of education. Each PDC is comprised of nine credits (or 3 courses) of focused course work in a specific area, i.e.:
- Collaborative Special Education Law and Process
- Creativity and Innovation
- E-Learning Leadership
- Educational Policy
- Evaluation and Assessment
- Instructional Design
- Leadership in Educational Settings
- Learning in Game-based Environments
- Learning Technologies
- Special Education Leadership
- Urban Education
Students may opt to create their own PDC with advisement of the Program Manger for the MS in Education Improvement and Transformation program.
After students complete four PDC's totaling a minimum of 36.0 credits, they will finish the program by enrolling in two sequential courses (9.0 additional credits) that jointly form a capstone project to provide a real-life, hands-on experience in being an agent for change in transformative education. The combination of the 4 PDC's and the two capstone project courses provides the student with the 45.0 credits required for the MS degree.
Additional Information
For additional information, visit Drexel University's Master of Science Program's in Education page.
Degree Requirements
The Master of Science in Education Transformation program is comprised of 14 courses. The core of the program is made up of four "Professional Development Concentrations" in strategic education improvement areas and topics.
These concentrations include areas such as assessment, strategic partnership, change leadership, educational policy, disabilities, virtual schools, charter schooling, home schooling, community engagement & development, urban education, school boards, and financing education. Additional concentrations may be developed on a topical needs or special population-based basis.
The final two courses of the program consist of a 4.5 credit Evaluation & Assessment courses and a 4.5 credit Capstone Project. The Capstone Project is an individualized course.
|Degree Requirements
|Students complete four areas of professional development concentration. These 9.0 credit concentrations correspond to certificates offered in the Education and Improvement and Transformation program. View those certificate programs for a list of courses.

The UAB Blazers notched another solid 2013 prospect from Alpharetta (Ga.) High on Friday morning.
"Just committed to the University of Alabama-Birmingham!!!!!! #uab #blazers," Rodney Morris shared via Twitter.
He joins fellow Alpharetta Raider senior D'Vonn Isaac, a two-way lineman, on the Blazers' commitment list in this cycle and playing with his 2012 teammate at the next level is simply "very cool."
"It's a great environment," said Morris on why he chose UAB. "Also a good coaching staff and an up-and-coming program.
"It's also really close to home and my family can come see me play."
The 6-foot-3, 210-pounder is very versatile on the field, and was getting looks from several programs at different positions, but he will sign with the Blazers as a wide receiver come Wednesday.
"It's looking that way," he added.
With that, Morris has set the bar high for his freshman campaign.
"I think there's a good shot if I go in there and work really hard," he said of playing early. "I plan on trying to make freshman All-American team for the conference.
"Also breaking the starting lineup as a freshman."

Sign language or gang signs?
Disability Services will be posting information each week through the end of the semester called "SIGNS of the Times – ASL Awareness" to raise campus interest in, and awareness of, our students who use sign language.
Sign Language or Gang Signs?
As a society, our awareness of sign language use is so low that communicating through sign language has been mistaken for throwing gang signs. In January of this year, a North Carolina man was stabbed while using sign language and a similar event occurred just two years ago in Florida when two deaf men were stabbed by someone who mistook their sign language for gang signs .
If you see a group of people gesturing with their hands, you should consider that they may be using sign language.
The acclaimed TV show Switched At Birth is the first mainstream television series to have multiple Deaf and Hard of Hearing characters and scenes shot entirely in ASL. The show included a scene in which an onlooker mistakes sign language for gang signs. Switched At Birth made television history when they aired an all-ASL episode earlier this month.
Did you know….. a Wofford graduate, Chad Fiveash is a writer and co-executive producer on the show.

"I was impressed with the wide selection. Also the easiness of assembling the images. User friendly and great professional results"
"This card looks great and the quality is very good. We were worried that the white might not show up on our photo, but it came out beautiful and vibrant. The signature matte printing is so professional looking. AWESOME CARD."
"Quality paper and much larger than expected. Beautiful color printing.. Added three images and they are all very crisp and clear. Love it all around. Such a deal for the quality!"
"We chose this design because of the simplicity. It wasn't too frilly or busy. Just simple. It turned out great. We went with the signature Matte after reading other reviews... it was perfect. I liked how heavy the paper was, and our image, which was very bright colorful turned out looking great. I had friends comment on how great the card turned out. I was a little disappointed in the printing, there was a very faint stripe that went down the center of each of my cards, as if the printer was running out of ink. However, it was very slight, and I probably only noticed it because I was looking for any problems. I'm not sure anyone else would look close enough to notice it."
"This design was great! Multiple pictures can be used and the font was beautiful! Perfect was to announce the arrival of our baby girl."

|The Descendants of Marie Marguerie
|W3a2 Haplogroup HVR1: 16209C 16223T 16255A 16292T 16519C - HVR2: 73G 119C 189G 195C 204C 207A 263G 309.1C 315.1C
|Marie Marguerie ~~ Alphabetic Index ~~ Haplogroup W Homepage
|Rouen at the time of Marie's childhood
Marie was born in Rouen, France, and emigrated America in 1641. Her family members lived hard and but colorful frontier lives in New France. They survived Indian raids, fought wars with other Europeans, and faced at times near extinction of their colony. Follow the links to read the full story of Marguerie's life, that of her brother, Francois Marguerie, husbands Jacques Hertel and Quentin Moral, her son Francois Hertel, and her daughters Marguerite and Madeleine Hertel, and Marie-Jeanne, Therese, Gertrude, and Marthe Moral.
A W3a2 lineage with the 5291 coding region mutation and distinctive 16209 and 16255 HVR1 mutations emerged between the Caspian and Aral Seas between 12,000 and 6,000 years ago. One branch with an additional 153 mutation in HVR2 is found today in Turkmenistan. Another lineage migrated north of the Caspian and Black Seas. Around 6000 years ago it split. One branch, with the 16192 HVR1 and 152 HVR mutations, moved into the Ukraine and later into the Tatras Mountains of Poland / Slovakia as part of the Lemo ethnic group. Another branch, with additional 930 coding region and 119 194 HVR2 mutations moved south into Romania, and then probably along the Danube, eventually reaching the area of Rouen, France. From here what seems to be a single emigrant ancestor, Marie Marguerie, migrated to Quebec in 1641, ancestering hundreds of thousands of descendants in the United States and Canada.
The differences in Marie Marguerie's mtDNA code in the Highly Variable Regions 1 and 2, in comparison to what is known as the Cambridge Reference Sequence, were:
An additional change occurred at 309.2C on one branch of the family sometime between 1710 and the present.
Here are the lineal female descendants of Marie Marguerie as identified by Haplogroup W members to date:

I think the Egyptians got it correct; "Ra" the sun God really is the God of this planet. Yep, today I was cleaning off bird shit from my sail boat and drinkin beer and listening to rock of course. Beer goes good with boat bird shit removal maintenance. I'm sure you guys know that. Anyway I was pretty buzzed as I was sunning my Lilly white body in the sun. I had this revelation that the sun, "RA", really is the only observable God. Not only does the sun enable all life on this planet it made me feel good on a personal level, along with the beer. Also without the sun the ingredients for beer would not be possible. There ya go finally living proof! The Egyptians were right "Ra" the sun is God !
Works for me. Go forth and drink beer and work on your tan.....Obama has a nice tan BTW .

text: WASHINGTON, April 9, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, the District of Columbia Water and Sewer Authority (DC Water) named its massive tunnel boring machine (TBM), christened it with DC tap water, and prepared to send it underground to tunnel more than four miles along the Potomac at a depth of approximately 100 feet. The machine is more than 400 feet long and weighs more than 1323 tons. It will dig the Blue Plains Tunnel, which is a portion of DC Water's Clean River Project to significantly reduce combined sewer overflows (CSOs) and improve water quality in the District of Columbia. To view the multimedia assets associated with this release, please click: http://www.multivu.com/mnr/61102-dc-water-clean-river-project-lady-bird-massive-tunnel-boring-machine-tbm (Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130409/MM89897) District of Columbia Mayor Vincent Gray, EPA Regional Administrator Shawn Garvin, DC Councilmember Mary Cheh, DC Water Board of Directors Chairman Allen Lew and DC Water General Manager George S. Hawkins participated in today's event at the Blue Plains Advanced Wastewater Treatment Plant. "Much like her namesake, ' Lady Bird' will be performing important work for the long-term health of our rivers," said Mr. Hawkins. "This tunnel system will reduce combined sewer overflows into the Anacostia by 98 percent." As in many older cities, about one-third of the District has a combined sewer system. A CSO occurs during heavy rain when the mixture of sewage and stormwater cannot fit in the sewer pipes and overflows to the nearest water body. CSOs contain bacteria and trash that can be harmful to the environment. DC Water's plan to significantly reduce CSOs to the Anacostia River is to build massive underground tunnels that will store the combined sewage and runoff during intense rainstorms and then release it when the system has the capacity to treat it. Similar tunnels exist in cities like Chicago, Indianapolis, and Atlanta. "Earlier this year, I unveiled the Sustainable DC Plan, a 20-year plan to make the District the healthiest, greenest, most livable city in the nation," Mayor Gray said. "The Clean Rivers Project goes a long way to providing sustainability for the region, making our waterways healthier and cleaner."

I don't know how "normal" it is, but my daughter bangs her head against walls quite vigorously if I allow her. I don't. I intercept and stop her, and tell her "No no no." but in a very soft, soothing voice; I'm trying to teach her that we don't slam our head into things, but I'm not scolding because she's not really doing naughty.
I was told I did the same thing at her age.
And on 09/23/2011, we were three; husband, daughter, and me!
This isn't the first time I've heard of this so it isn't an anomoly, but I don't know how common it is or anything else. My understanding is that, when associated with going to sleep or waking, it's a self-soothing thing. He might stop if you soothe him in some other way?
My littlest still does it at almost 18 months, pretty gently and only when really tired. It's seems a bit odd, but who am I to judge?
Unless your kid is doing it constantly, I am sure it's fine and just their way of expressing something.
My 14 month old doesn't bang her head on walls, but she does hit herself on the head with toys, water bottles, etc. sometimes.
I had never thought of it as an early warning sign that she's getting tired, but that makes a lot of sense! Thanks!
Interesting! Mine does normally bang her head at night.
I'd never considered not stopping her. She's slamming her skull into the wall pretty firmly though, from the posts it seems more firmly than other LOs are.
And on 09/23/2011, we were three; husband, daughter, and me!
Mine did this as well, and still does at 2.5. It did scare me at first because my step-daughter (now 14) doesn't know how to deal with ... anything and used to do that REALLY hard even just a year ago. After watching carefully I've found that for mine it's mostly just experimentation. Though I'm wondering if there are other things going on, which is why i'm online today!

R (1/3/2015) and DSD (16).
I have memories of being little and hitting my head on the wall. I've caught my 12 m/o DD hitting her head on things on purpose, along with hitting her head with her hand and other general silliness. She always has done it like she enjoys the novel-ness of it and I chalk it up to sensorial play/experimentation although DH just thinks she's looney :). I do stop her, say no and redirect her though.
Married Since 4/05
Mom to the silliest girl since 1/12
And SUPRISE! expecting #2 in 12/15
Let your light shine.
My 10.5 month old son does that as well, either on our headboard or the top of his crib (the two ends are solid so it's like a headboard too I guess).
It always seems to be when he's about to fall asleep but fighting it. I'm glad he's not the only one.

Are you watching Glee? I'm watching Glee, although at times I'm embarrassed to find myself laughing out loud at things that are completely inappropriate and so very-very wrong. Would I let my kids watch the show? Don't think so. Would I let them listen to the soundtrack? With the exception of a few songs, I believe I would. iTunes has been doling out the songs one week at a time but now there's an entire CD available. It's at the top of my list for Santa.
*At the time I'm writing this Amazon has it available for $8.99 and iTunes for $12.99.

2012 年 5 月 28 日If you re on a budget trynig to build a home theater for your living room, you ll want to make every dollar count. When shopping for a receiver I think one of the best options you could buy is the Onkyo HT RC370 receiver. It has a lot of features that more expensive receivers have but for a fraction of the cost. You also get to benefit from the great build quality that comes with all Onkyo products.

These astute measures must inevitably result im her capture—for was it not at Roubaix that he had bidden her await him?
He pursued his investigations as far as Roubaix, then swept southward to Douai.
But that poor woman from Roubaix—the one with consumption up at the Croix Rousse—is dying.
Roubaix overlooks from a slight elevation the valley of the Marque.
We in hungry Roubaix looked out on Belgium as the land of promise.
Roubaix and Tourcoing were entered in the afternoon of October 18, 1918.
It began by the taking of hostages at the very outset of their possession of Roubaix.
Because she was the daughter, and only daughter, of a wealthy manufacturer from Roubaix.
The speciality of Roubaix is its dress stuffs and woollen materials, large quantities of which are exported to America.
A preliminary word or two must be said about Roubaix, the city of strikes, pre-eminently the Socialist city.

'"I'm the kind of person who wants to be on the ice working on my game a lot," Miller said. "I feel like in the situation where I'm trying to rest, there's times that I don't get to practice. I feel like there's habits that creep in, and there's times that I need to snap myself out of things. I feel like even in the last day and a half I've noticed things about my game that could have helped in the last few weeks."'

Derek Roy scores shootout winner as Sabres beat Senators 4-3
'"To hear a couple of boos in the crowd was pretty interesting," said Roy, who has 13 points in his last seven games. "Every game is crucial and we can't take one off."'
Buffalo 4, Ottawa 3 (SO)
'"We have to go out every night and battle hard for wins, and that's exactly what we did tonight," said Roy. "We know we're in a fight for a playoff spot and a win here tonight is a step in that direction."'
Sabres Prevail Over Sens In Shootout 4-3
'Buffalo now has 83 points, but is still five back of both Boston and Philadelphia; each have 88 points. Washington has 86 points, but the Capitals have played one more game than the Sabres.'

'Mike Weber: This guy is our best defenseman on the ice. I don't care if he's 19 or 39, he's the best we have. He plays a simple game and makes simple plays, something the team has lacked for the majority of the season.'

Whitmore comes full circle
'The contract is for the 2008-09 and 2009-10 seasons, so Whitmore signed an amateur tryout contract with the Rochester Americans in order to get a taste of the pro game for 2 1/2 weeks.'

Remember the 3 'B's of Rabies Prevention!
Rabies is a deadly viral disease that infects the brain and spinal cord of mammals. The virus is spread from exposure to saliva or nervous tissue from an infected animal, usually through a bite. Scratches or saliva contact with a mucous membrane are also considered as exposure risks. Rabies is preventable if proper treatment is given before symptoms occur, but is fatal once symptoms are present.
The primary public health concern is to prevent people from developing rabies after a possible exposure. Any bite or scratch from an animal should be checked by a physician and reported to the county health department. Dogs, cats, and ferrets that bite or scratch a person will be required to undergo quarantine for a period of 10 days. The observation for clinical signs of rabies developing in the animal during the quarantine provides complete assurance for the person bitten or scratched that the animal did not infect the person from the bite. Unlike pets, wildlife species that bite or scratch cannot be quarantined because they may shed the virus longer than 10 days. Rabies tests can be performed in the laboratory on deceased animals that do not qualify for quarantine.
In Alabama, there are two different strains of rabies virus: the raccoon variant and the bat variant. The raccoon strain can infect other wildlife, such as foxes, coyotes, and skunks; but more importantly, it can infect peoples pets. Vaccination of dogs, cats, and ferrets is required by law. Vaccinations for other species, such as horses and livestock are also available and recommended. Vaccinating animals help ensure protection should they unknowingly be exposed to a rabid animal. Other simple prevention methods is to keep pets properly confined or on leashes, avoid leaving trash or leftover pet food uncovered which may attract wildlife, and avoid handling bats.
The bat variant can also infect pets or people. Bats present a unique risk of rabies because their bites may be unknown or leave insignificant marks. If you should have bats in your house or bedroom, please contact your physician or local health department for consultation.
