JUDGE B. C. CLARK, probate judge of Cooper county. In this world of antagonisms, chances and weaknesses, it is of rare occurrence, very rare, that one holds au elective position through life, and, when he dies, whose son succeeds to the same trust by the preference of the people, and retains it through a lone, unbroken chain of years, and until he declines to continue ill it longer. Such a record of father and son is a eulogy upon their good names that the art of rhetoric cannot approach. And such is the record of the lives of Judge B. C. and his father, Robert P. Clark, of Cooper county. Robert P. Clark was a man prominent in the affairs of his native county in Kentucky before he came to Missouri. A short time after he came to Cooper county, this state, he was made county clerk of the county, which then included also the present offices of county and circuit clerk and recorder. He was the first clerk after the organization of the county in 1818. This position he held by regular re-elections for twenty-three years and until his death in 1841. He was also a delegate to the first constitutional convention to frame a state constitution. His son, now Judge Clark, who had been in the once from childhood almost, succeeded his father, and continued in the position, by the repeated endorsements of the people, for twelve years, and until he resigned, in order to discontinue official life. From 1853 to 1878 Judge Clark led a quiet, retired and successful life on his form, but in the fall of the last named year the .people elected him to the office of probate judge, and in 1882 he was re-elected. Judge Clark was born in this county, July 13, 1819, and as far as known was the first white person born in the county after its organized His father was originally of Clark county, Kentucky. He came with his family to Howard county, Missouri, in 1817, and to Cooper county, in 1818. Mrs. Malinda Clark, the judge's mother, was a daughter of Stephen Trigg, of Kentucky, and died in Cooper county in 1828 or 1830. Judge Clark was the fourth of a family of six children. After Mrs. Clark's death, Mr. Clark was married a second time, of which union one child was born. Judge Clark has lived in this county continuously from infancy, except a short stay made in California in 1849-50, whither he was attracted by the gold excitement of that time. He now resides in Boonville, having moved to the city from his country residence on his election to the office of probate judge. Of course, he has not traveled thus far along life's way without a companion to share his pleasures and sorrows; but, fortunately, with him far more of the former than of the latter, although the throb of grief has not been a stranger to his breast. In order of time we should have given his marriage before, for he was united in wedlock to Miss Margaret, daughter of James Hutchison, an early and respected citizen of this county, formerly of Bourbon county, Kentucky, on the 9th of September, 1841.
Father: Robert Patterson Clark b: ABT 1791 in Bedford Co., VA

Where to start! I would say this is the worst hotel experience ever. Surprised to find the hotel going through renovation and atmosphere was very depressing...when I made reservatons directly with the hotel we were not informed. Had to enter through the back of hotel, very run down neighborhood, carry luggage up stairs as no ramp available.
Our room for $200!!! Tiny tiny tiny. So small the chair was placed under the TV so you hit your head if you tried to sit down, air conditioner unit was pointed directly at the bed so you were in a wind tunnel when trying to sleep, and lots of street noise. The "ocean" view began with looking directly at the 1st floor roof and the iron railing of the fire escape. Can't believe we had to pay $200 for this.
Then there was the restaurant. Food was very good but getting our food took forever. While the staff was nice, they were very untrained and it seemed like they had never worked in a restaurant before. Actually all the entire hotel staff seemed untrained.
Perhaps in its day this Hotel was grand but now the grounds were quite worn out and the surrounding area dingy.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper and three of his predecessors – Jean Chrétien, Brian Mulroney and Kim Campbell – flew to South Africa in a government Airbus. But not just any aircraft: The leaders were comfortably seated in what Mr. Chrétien once non-affectionately dubbed the "Taj Mahal," a reference to the front stateroom with which the plane was retrofitted when Mr. Mulroney bought a fleet of the jetliners during his time in office.
As he took one of his trademark strolls to the back of the plane, Mr. Chrétien openly lamented that he never used this particular aircraft during his three terms in office, expressly because of the fleecing he gave Mr. Mulroney to paint him as a free-spending politician with a taste for Gucci style.
Mr. Chrétien also expressed his disappointment that Canada doesn't put its former prime ministers to work for the country's betterment and to promote international relations after they leave office. "It's not our tradition," he said. "And it's too bad."
Mr. Harper spoke briefly of Canada's role in ensuring Nelson Mandela's release from prison.
"It really tells you about the long and leading history of Canada from the days of Mr. [John] Diefenbaker on, and the struggle that defined Nelson Mandela's life – the struggle against apartheid and the transition of South Africa to a modern, non-racial state," Mr. Harper said, flanked by Mr. Chrétien to his right and Mr. Mulroney and Ms. Campbell sitting across from him. Former prime minister Joe Clark will also attend the memorial.
But 30 years ago, it was a huge gamble on Canada's part to support the fight against South Africa's racist policies and to demand the release of Mr. Mandela, Mr. Mulroney said. The United States and the U.K. were "offside," he noted, and Mr. Mandela's African National Congress needed a G7 country in its corner.
"We knew we were doing the right thing, but on the other hand we also knew that it was a tough battle," he said.
Canadian leaders share respect for Mr. Mandela, said former governor-general Michaëlle Jean. "To see representatives of all political families together going to South Africa to pay tribute to Mandela is totally in the spirit of the man," Ms. Jean said. "So I'm proud of us."
Federal NDP Leader Tom Mulcair was also among those who joined the Canadian pilgrimage to pay homage to Mr. Mandela, along with the premiers of Yukon, Nova Scotia and Alberta and Assembly of First Nations National Chief Shawn Atleo.

What You Need To Know About The New Pulitzer Prize Board Chair
Blog ››› ››› OLIVER WILLIS & JOE STRUPP
Paul Gigot, Wall Street Journal editorial page editor since 2001, was named chair of the Pulitzer Prize Board on Monday. Under Gigot, the Journal editorial page has had several ethical lapses and has been a regular source of misinformation on climate science, health care, the Iraq War, and a host of other issues.
Pulitzer administrator Mike Pride told Media Matters a new board chair is chosen annually and the board member or members who have served nine years of their 10-year term normally get the post.
Gigot, who is going into his 10th and final year on the board, was the only member in that position this year, Pride said.
"It is really relatively automatic and nine years on the board give you a greater understanding in the way things work."
Pride, a former board member from 1999 to 2008, left in April 2008 after one year as co-chair with Joann Byrd. He is also the former editor of Concord Monitor. Pride became board administrator in September 2014.
But while Gigot's appointment is fairly routine, his position is one of power and influence over the board that distributes the most coveted awards in journalism, Pride said.
"The chair has some powers for sure in deciding which things we emphasize and which things we focus on," Pride said, later adding, "It's not a weak position at all, it's a strong position."
"He is on all the committees and is really involved in everything."
Gigot's appointment comes at a time when the Pulitzer Prizes have undergone sharp changes in recent years. In 2008, the categories were opened up to allow online-only entries, a major shift for the prizes that had previously been limited to newspapers.
And this year marked the first time magazine entries were allowed, in two categories. As board chair, Gigot can influence what changes are made or not, Pride said.
"The chair has a big effect on that so if the chair decides to slow down something the process will slow down," he explained. "If the chair decides to move faster, it will move along. It is a person that helps to determine the future of the prizes."
NYU journalism professor Jay Rosen called news of Gigot's new position "strange," noting that the Journal's newsroom "often rolls its eyes at the editorial page's evidentiary standards."
In 2011, Women's Wear Daily reported that the Journal's newsroom "often has objections to Paul Gigot's editorial page." The New York Observer noted that "under editorial-page editor Paul Gigot, opinion writers freely dispute the facts reported in the rest of the paper," while "news staffers disavow the contributions from Mr. Gigot's side."
One staffer told the Observer in 2006 that the editorial section is "wrong all the time" and that "they lack credibility to the point that the emperor has no clothes."
Rosen also noted it should "concern journalists" that the Journal editorial page under Gigot "has been a leader in the manufacture of doubt about climate change." As evidence, he linked to a Journal editorial comparing modern climate research to the party dogma of the Soviet Union.
The Journal's editorial page has often misinformed on climate science including labeling climate change a "fad-scare."
The Journal's editorial page has also been criticized for ethical lapses under Gigot. In the run-up to the 2012 election, the paper routinely failed to disclose columnist Karl Rove's ties to political organizations acting to prevent President Obama's re-election and published at least 23 different op-eds from various Mitt Romney advisers without disclosing their blatant conflict of interest. (The paper eventually added a mention of Rove's political groups to his bio.)
In addition to its climate coverage and ethical problems, Gigot's editorial page has misled on several issues over the years, including electoral politics, the labor movement, health care, and the economy.
The Journal editorial page's low point under Gigot was probably its role in furthering falsehoods in the run-up to the Iraq War. The Journal routinely promoted the idea that Saddam Hussein either had -- or was on the verge of obtaining or producing -- weapons of mass destruction. A characteristic Wall Street Journal editorial from 2003 claimed that the coalition force would find "nasty weapons and the cheering Iraqis...when it liberates the country."

I have worked with ACFFC for nine years. I've been to Haiti numerous times. If you want to know that every single penny is used on the ground and not for administration, this is the organization that delivers! If you want to have a life-changing experience, go spend some time at ACFFC! You will be a better person when you leave than when you went! Make a difference!
ACFFC is an inspirational organization. They raise money to help Haitian children attend school, and provide free after school enrichment programs to children. They also work to provide food, clean water and medical supplies to the children. Besides the material goods they given these children in need, they provide kindness and inspiration to the children they work with.
This organization makes the ordinary extraordinary. They raise money in a fun and creative way to help all walks of life. E4K and GISHWHES are some of the most rewarding events I have had the pleasure of participating in. Doing good while having fun, who can beat that?
There are few causes more worthy of support than those invested in the welfare and future of children. Which is why organizations like this are so exceptionally important. This program in paticular seems to do an excellent job at what they set out to do.
The ACFFC is such a great organization. It provides wonderful educational opportunities for both children and young adults in need and is making a real difference. The skills the children learn here will remain with them for the rest of their lives and I hope to one day be able to visit the ACFFC in person to volunteer and meet some of the incredible people involved.
There are few causes out there I can genuinely say are making the greatest impact that is in their capacity to do. The ACFFC is one of them. I've seen their work on the ground, and I've seen the way it is changing the lives of children and young adults in Jacmel. Every mosaic wall they've decorated throughout the city stands as a shining testament to the good they've done, and continue to do. In terms of butterfly effects, the ripples of this organization are tenfold. The tenacity of spirit and perseverance of everyone involved in this organization is an example to us all.
Long live the ACFFC!
The ACFFC is chock full of some of the most hardworking young adults I've ever had the privilege to meet! The artwork they create shows great talent, unique styles, and creativity extending beyond all expectations. The foundation gives these kids access to meals and an education which they may not otherwise have, and that in and of itself is invaluable. Add to that the artistry and life skills learned within the foundation itself, and the ACFFC becomes a truly outstanding program. I can't wait until my next visit!
The ACFFC's cause is one that I greatly believe in and the children they help put out the most remarkable artwork. What they do in Haiti should not go unrecognized. I have several products from them on my mantle, and am in the process of saving to sponsor one of their children. The work that goes in to this group is remarkable, and their volunteers are among the best. Anything I have ever done with them, any question I have ever had I have always received swift service and answers.
I volunteered a year ago and it was an amazing experience. I saw first hand the good works of the ACFFC. I would assist them again in a heartbeat. I wish continue success to a wonderful organization helping some awesome kids.

A three-month investigation by the BBC's Panorama programme uncovered a series of failings at the Royal Sussex County Hospital in Brighton.
A Healthcare Commission team concluded no formal investigation was needed after a visit in July.
A patients' forum linked to the NHS trust said it was "shocked".
Janice Kent is vice-chair of the Patient and Public Involvement Forum of the Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals NHS Trust.
She said: "There were an awful lot of findings about improper treatment of the elderly."
Ms Kent said there should be an inquiry into issues of "poorly-trained staff and inappropriate care".
"I have heard that relatives [of the elderly patients] are quite upset," she added.
The Healthcare Commission team said that good progress had been made in "improving the quality of patient care on medical wards".
Spokesman Jon Billings said: "There is some further progress needed and we will be working with the Surrey and Sussex Strategic Health Authority to follow up on action plans and monitor the trust's progress."
The NHS trust said: "We welcome the Healthcare Commission's decision not to launch a formal investigation.
"That does not detract from... ensuring [that] a good standard of care for our patients, whatever their age, is a priority for this organisation and our staff."

When Knowledge Isn't PowerDecember 13, 2012 - 12:15pm
by Barbara Connors
"Boy, I got vision and the rest of the world wears bifocals" —Paul Newman in "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid"
Imagine a poker player who possesses infinite knowledge of the game. He knows all the plays and exactly when to use them, he has memorized the odds, and he can do complex calculations in the middle of a hand without missing a beat. But for all his vast expertise, this know-it-all player can still be undone by the most ignorant poker moron if said moron is impossible to read. When you find yourself up against opponents who don't make the logical, thoughtful plays they "should" make — calling when they should fold, betting when they should check, raising when they should call — all the poker knowledge in the world won't help you, unless you can find a way to read them. Problem is, the very fact you know so much more about the game than they do is precisely what makes these opponents so difficult to read.
ColdplayNovember 30, 2012 - 1:32pm
by Barbara Connors
We all have our pet peeves about this game. One of mine happens when I've been getting nothing but junk hands for hours, and then I'm dealt something like 10-9 suited, or maybe a baby suited ace— something that's just good enough to call. Full of eager anticipation at finally seeing a flop, my joy quickly turns to "Oh @#%# I have to fold again" when one of the players in front of me puts in a raise.
In a case like this, the temptation to cold-call, that is to call for two bets when one has not yet put any money in the pot, can be very strong. I'll confess that I have succumbed to this temptation from time to time. In this I have a lot of company, because cold-calling with inferior hands preflop is one of the most common mistakes in poker. It's also one of the most ruinous.
Sunken MeasureOctober 26, 2012 - 12:13pm
by Barbara Connors
Few things can stirs up our emotions like having money on the line. Whether it's in the stock market or at the poker table, fear and greed inevitably cloud our decisions. So it shouldn't be surprising that many of the basic tenets of behavioral finance also apply to poker.
One example is a phenomenon known as the sunk cost effect. In behavioral finance, this describes our tendency to cling tenaciously to anything we've already put a significant amount of money into. The classic example is an investor who refuses to sell stock of a company that has gone to the dogs, for example, if its product is becoming obsolete. The desire not to recognize a loss is so powerful that he will hold onto those shares as they continue to plummet. Hoping that maybe the price will rebound and he can get his money back. Not realizing he should just forget about his initial investment. That money is gone. It's sunk. The only thing that matters is whether or not the company is a good investment now—in its current condition and at the current price.
Bottom-FeedingOctober 2, 2012 - 11:21am
by Barbara Connors
Suppose you call to see a flop with suited connectors, let's say 8-9 of clubs. Of course something like 7c-10c-Jc would be your dream flop, though any kind of made straight or flush would be welcome. But suited connectors are generally looking to flop a draw — four to a flush, an open-ended straight draw, or the everpopular double-belly-buster. Failing that, hitting top pair on a ragged flop would be decent, or hitting trips on a flop like Q-8-8 would be even better. But on this particular occasion the flop comes down Q-9-8 giving you two pair. Bottom two pair.
Bottom two is a funny hand. At first blush, it seems like a strong holding. And maybe it is. But that strength goes handin- hand with incredible vulnerability—made all the worse because two pair is difficult to get away from. This hand can win you a big pot, or it can make your entire stack disappear faster than you can say "counterfeited." In his classic book, Super/System, Doyle Brunson said he's gone broke more often with bottom two pair than with any other hand. But assuming that you aren't facing off against too many opponents, you're likely to be ahead on the flop. Conventional wisdom says to play bottom two pair fast on the flop, much as you would play top pair with a good kicker. One of the biggest mistakes players make with bottom two pair is to slowplay it on the flop, thinking this hand is some kind of a powerhouse. It's not. You can't afford to give lesser hands a free or cheap card to suck out.
Cowboys, InterruptedSeptember 18, 2012 - 12:10pm
by Barbara Connors
We all know the feeling. You're dealt a pair of pocket kings, and then the flop comes down with the one card in all the world you didn't want to see — the ace. For this discussion, we'll assume an uncoordinated flop where the only visible danger is that lone ace staring up at you. So now what? A moment ago, your hand was almost invincible. Then one ace crashes the party and your kings are behind to any moron with a ragged A-X. For the player with kings, that ace on the flop represents a proverbial fork in the road: You can take the safe path of folding to any significant action, or you can venture down the more challenging road of playing the hand to its conclusion-- on the assumption that your adversary doesn't have the bullet.
To make this choice, you must answer two questions. The first and most obvious question is, does he have the ace? To determine if your K-K is now second-best, you've got to use all the information at your disposal to make your best educated guess as to whether or not your opponent holds the dreaded ace. But an equally important question is, what's at stake here? How much do you stand to win (or lose) if your educated guess turns out to be wrong?
Hindsight-SeeingSeptember 6, 2012 - 11:10am
Barbara Connors
We've all heard the saying: Hindsight is 20/20—Which is just another way of saying that it's easy to predict the future after it has already happened. Psychologists call this phenomenon the hindsight bias, also known as the I-knew-it-all-along syndrome. Whatever you call it, this bias influences us in subtle, but dangerous ways, especially at the poker table.
For example, a crying call that's immediately followed by an exclamation of, "I knew that's what you had!" The details vary, but the basic story remains the same: An otherwise sane and knowledgeable poker player makes a call on the river, despite the fact he suspects his hand may be beaten. And when his opponent flips over the winning hand, our hero declares he knew all along his opponent held those exact cards. Though it's clear he didn't "know"—or else he never would have made the losing call in the first place.
Reasons (Not) to RaiseAugust 23, 2012 - 11:13am
by Barbara Connors
In a game where aggression reigns supreme, raising with a good hand (or even a not-so-good hand) has become almost automatic for some poker players. Whether your hand is good, bad, or indifferent, it's always easy to think of reasons to raise: to thin the field, induce a better hand to fold, charge opponents a high price to see the next card, gain information, enhance table image, and of course, the daddy of all reasons, to get more money in the pot when you believe you are favored to win.
Of Gaps and ChasmsAugust 8, 2012 - 12:21pm
by Barbara Connors
The Gap Concept is a term coined by poker author, David Sklansky, to describe the difference in starting-hand standards between the type of hand you need to call a raise, as opposed to the type of hand you need to put in a raise yourself. This concept has become famous as a fundamental part of tournament poker strategy, but the basic idea behind it can apply to ring games as well.
When you are the first player to raise, there is no evidence yet that anybody else at the table has a particularly strong hand. Moreover, being the first player to show aggression gives you two ways to win the pot: either by making the best hand, or by pushing your opponents out.
The Continuing StoryJune 28, 2012 - 11:21am
by Barbara Connors
The continuation bet is one of the most powerful plays in poker, because defending against it is so difficult. Any player who is failing to defend against a continuation bet is letting his opponents run all over him. But there are two sides to every coin, and defending too often is tantamount to throwing chips out the window. When you consider that a sizable portion of continuation bets that come your way will inevitably be continuation bluffs, the ability to find that middle balance and sniff out at least some of the counterfeit c-bets is critical.
A Fine DistinctionApril 30, 2012 - 11:27am
by Barbara Connors
Poker is a game of tough decisions. At their core, most of them can be boiled down to one cosmic proposition: Should you play it safe, or should you take a risk for the opportunity of making a greater profit? Figuring out when that extra risk is worth taking, or whether discretion is the better part of poker's valor, is one of the great challenges of the game. A good example that illustrates this concept is the thin value bet. While technically this bet can take place on any street, generally speaking, a thin value bet is made on the river when your final hand is rather lightweight—perhaps a hand like middle pair. It's far from the nuts, not strong enough to be bet with any real confidence, and yet it's not completely worthless either.

Gabbeh Hand-hooked Area Rug is rated out of 5 by 5.
Rated 5 out of 5 by momofboys from 8' Round Rug I just purchased this rug for my kitchen. It is so nice! Very comfy to walk on and looks great under my table. I was nervous that the natural color would be too light for under a table, especially with two little boys. However, it seems like it will hide stains nicely. I also ordered a 4x6 for my entry.

Rated 1 out of 5 by ATherese from Looks Cheap This rug has been in our upstairs hall for several weeks. Low-moderate traffic area, and it still does not lay flat. There is a rug pad and tape underneath. There are folds, wrinkles and the edges still curl up. It is also starting to pill. It just looks cheap.

Ards rue their luck as Portadown progress
Portadown 1 - 0 Ards
A cruel piece of luck and a missed 'sitter' during their late, determined assault in this Irish Cup bruiser at Shamrock Park robbed Ards of a replay they richly deserved.
With one minute of the 90 left on the clock, a free-kick from James Cully hit prostrate Ports keeper David Miskelly on the head and soared off to safety.
And three minutes into added time, Craig McMillan billowed the side-netting when he should have equalised.
"We didn't just deserve an equaliser, we deserved to win this one," said Ards boss Niall Currie. "We over-ran them, especially in midfield in the second half."
The vital goal was netted on 77 minutes by Ports' full-back Chris Casement, who countered: "It was no less than we deserved. We had the edge over the 90 minutes." Casement, Twigg and Brian Gartland all suffered hamstring injuries and had manager Ronnie McFall fuming afterwards. "They were caused by the heavy pitch," he insisted.
"Frankly, I'm almost relived that we've been drawn away for the final eight, (to Coleraine) for this pitch is becoming impossible to play football on, given we have so many talented players in our squad."

I saw a picture of this on pinterest and couldn't wait to tie up my kids and tape their sweet little mouths. Wishing you a silent night at your house!
Hannah wanted more pictures when we untied the girls. She ran to the Christmas tree and got her favorite ornament, a simple nut cracker.
I love the little things that bring happiness to those that seek it.
Daddy loves his littlest girl. She begged him to sit next to her for pictures and he did.
I just love this sweet photo of my baby and my husband.
I also loved a picture similar to this one on pinterest and tried it tonight. I turned off every light in the house besides the tree. Then I had the girls stand very still in front of the tree. It was fun seeing the different poses that we could get.
As a child I always loved lying under the Christmas tree. I had my girls do that tonight just for fun. Christmas time is so fun.

Environmental Sciences Seminar Abstract
Measuring Thermal and Electrical Properties on Mars
A Decagon instrument, TECP (Thermal and Electrical Conductivity Probe), was a part of NASA's Phoenix Scout Lander which landed on Mars May 25, 2008. The probe was inserted by a robot arm into the Martian surface to measure thermal conductivity, heat capacity, electrical conductivity, and dielectric constant of the soil. In addition to these measurements, the instrument measured wind speed and atmospheric vapor pressure. The purpose of the measurements was to provide the data needed for Martian energy balance models, and to collect data which can be used to assess the state of water and the hydraulic properties of the regolith. The seminar will include background on thermal and hydraulic properties of frozen soil, and describe TECP design and performance.

EPA's Report on the Environment
Carbon Monoxide Emissions
Carbon monoxide (CO) gas forms primarily when carbon fuels are not burned completely. Mobile sources account for the majority of CO emissions. These sources include both on-road vehicles (e.g., cars, trucks, motorcycles) and nonroad vehicles and engines (e.g., farm equipment, construction equipment, aircraft, marine vessels). Consequently, high concentrations of CO generally occur in areas with heavy traffic congestion. In cities, as much as 95 percent of all CO emissions may come from motor vehicle exhaust (U.S. EPA, 2008). Other sources of CO emissions include industrial processes, non-transportation fuel combustion, and natural sources, such as wildfires. The CO Concentrations indicator describes health hazards associated with inhaling CO.
This indicator presents CO emissions from traditionally inventoried anthropogenic source categories: (1) "Fuel combustion," which includes emissions from coal-, gas-, and oil-fired power plants and industrial, commercial, and institutional sources, as well as residential heaters (e.g., wood-burning stoves) and boilers; (2) "Other industrial processes," which includes chemical production, petroleum refining, metals production, and industrial processes other than fuel combustion; (3) "On-road vehicles," which includes cars, trucks, buses, and motorcycles; and (4) "Nonroad vehicles and engines," such as farm and construction equipment, lawnmowers, chainsaws, boats, ships, snowmobiles, and aircraft. The indicator also includes estimates of biogenic CO emissions in 2011. Biogenic emissions were estimated using the Biogenic Emissions Inventory System Model, Version 3.14, with data from the Biogenic Emissions Landcover Database, Version 3, and 2011 annual meteorological data. This indicator excludes CO estimates of prescribed burning and other miscellaneous sources except in the calculation of the biogenic fraction, because those data were either not readily available in the 1990 inventory or are small contributors to the total inventory.
CO emissions data are tracked by the National Emissions Inventory (NEI). The NEI is a composite of data from many different sources, with CO data coming primarily from EPA models as well as from state, tribal, and local air quality management agencies. Different data sources use different data collection methods, and many of the emissions data are based on estimates rather than actual measurements. For mobile sources, the data are based on mobile source models for on-road and nonroad vehicles, often using state-supplied model inputs (U.S. EPA, 2015). Emissions from wildfires in 2002 through 2011 come primarily from an estimation process that bases fire activity and location on satellite detection (U.S. EPA, 2015). For most fuel combustion sources and industrial sources, emissions are from the state, local, and tribal air quality management agencies and are estimated primarily using emission factors.
NEI data have been compiled since 1990 and cover all 50 states and their counties, D.C., the U.S. territories of Puerto Rico and Virgin Islands, and some of the territories of federally recognized American Indian nations. Data are presented for 1990, 1996, 1999, 2002, 2005, 2008, and 2011. With the exception of 1993, the NEI data are published on a triennial cycle, thus an annual trend is not readily available.
What the Data Show
Nationwide estimated anthropogenic CO emissions have decreased 65 percent between 1990 and 2011, the most recent year for which aggregate NEI emissions estimates are available (Exhibit 1). Almost the entire emissions reduction is attributed to decreased emissions from on-road mobile sources. In 2011, mobile sources (both on-road and nonroad sources combined) accounted for 84 percent of the nation's total anthropogenic CO emissions. The CO emissions reductions are reflected in corresponding reductions in ambient concentrations (the CO Concentrations indicator).
This indicator focuses on trends in CO emissions from anthropogenic sources. However, CO emissions from biogenic sources were estimated for 2011 to provide a sense of the relative contributions of natural versus anthropogenic emissions (Exhibit 2). Biogenic emissions for this exhibit include emissions from wildfires and soils. Nationally, biogenic emissions were estimated to contribute approximately 26 percent to the CO emissions from all sources during 2011.
Net estimated anthropogenic CO emissions declined in all EPA Regions between 1990 and 2011 (Exhibit 3). The largest net decrease (17.3 million tons) occurred in Region 4, and the smallest decrease (3.4 million tons) occurred in Region 8.
- CO emissions estimates through the NEI are provided only for the triennial years starting with 1990 and continuing through 2011, with the exception of 1993.
- CO emissions from "miscellaneous sources," including wildfires and prescribed burning, are not included in the total anthropogenic emissions. Yearly fluctuations in wildfire emissions have the potential to mask trends in anthropogenic emissions and therefore have been excluded from this indicator's exhibits. Details on emissions from miscellaneous sources can be found on EPA's emission inventory website (http://www3.epa.gov/ttn/chief/eiinformation.html).
- The emissions data for CO are largely based on estimates that employ emission factors generated from empirical and engineering studies, rather than on actual measurements of CO emissions. Although these estimates are generated using well-established approaches, including extensively reviewed mobile source models, the estimates have uncertainties inherent in the emission factors and emissions models used to represent sources for which emissions have not been directly measured.
- The methodology for estimating emissions is continually reviewed and is subject to revision. Trend data prior to any revisions must be considered in the context of those changes.
- Not all states and local agencies provide the same data or level of detail for a given year.
- NEI emissions from on-road mobile sources prior to 2002 were estimated using the MOBILE model, and 2002, 2005, 2008, and 2011 emissions for this source category were estimated using different versions of the MOVES model which applied different methods. Therefore, the outputs may not be directly comparable across years; the change in model is reflected as part of the trend shown.
- Version 1 of the 2011 NEI was completed prior to the release of the most recent MOVES model (MOVES2014).
Data Sources
Summary data in this indicator were provided by EPA's Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards, based on biogenic and anthropogenic CO emissions data in the NEI. The most recent data are taken from Version 1 of the 2011 NEI (U.S. EPA, 2014). These and earlier emissions data can be accessed from EPA's emission inventory website (http://www3.epa.gov/ttn/chief/eiinformation.html). The MOVES data used for 2002 and 2005 are not available through the 2002 and 2005 NEI website. This indicator aggregates NEI data by source type (anthropogenic or biogenic), source category, and EPA Region.

Ethiopia-Eritrea: Political stalemate continues amid rising tension
The year 2005 saw the stalemate in the Ethiopia-Eritrea peace process becoming more entrenched, and the possibility of an outbreak of war increased as the year came to a close. Though the leadership of UNMEE continued to engage all stakeholders in the peace process in an effort to resolve the deadlock, the two parties remained as polarised as ever. Sustained efforts by the international community to convince Eritrea to engage Ethiopia in dialogue were also in vain. While Ethiopia continued to reject significant parts of the decision of the Eritrea- Ethiopia Boundary Commission (EEBC), Eritrea maintained its rejection of the Five-Point Peace Plan that Ethiopia announced in November 2004.
Two factors further worsened the tension. First, Ethiopia moved its armed forces closer to the Temporary Security Zone (TSZ), between December 2004 and early 2005. Although Ethiopia insisted the change was largely defensive, Eritrea viewed this as an aggressive stance. Ethiopia did not heed Security Council calls to reverse its decision. Then, on 5 October, Eritrea imposed a ban on all UNMEE helicopter flights in its airspace, as well as many night-time patrols by the Mission's vehicles inside the TSZ. The Government said the ban was needed to protect its territory, but the move generated suspicion within the international community – and more so in Ethiopia – as to Eritrea's real intentions.
The helicopter ban immediately reduced the Mission's ability to monitor and observe developments in the TSZ and its capability to warn the international community of any impending danger. In addition, the ban endangered the safety of UNMEE peacekeepers deployed along the TSZ, as it meant that in the event of accidents, medical evacuations by air were also not possible. UNMEE, joined by the UN Security Council and the Secretary-General, among others, made urgent appeals, in vain, to the Eritrean Government to lift the ban immediately.
In November, the Security Council demanded that Eritrea lift all its restrictions imposed on UNMEE and urged both parties to exercise maximum restraint and to return to the status that existed in December 2004, within 30 days. On 6 December, the Eritrean Government requested that UNMEE staff with nationalities from the US, Canada, Europe and the Russian Federation leave Eritrea within 10 days, a decision which was strongly condemned by the UN. In a statement, the Secretary-General stressed that Eritrea's decision contravened its obligations under the Charter and the fundamental principles of UN peacekeeping.
The helicopter ban forced UNMEE to relocate some of its deployment sites for the safety of peacekeepers and to avoid logistical problems. The deepening stalemate and continued restrictions imposed on UNMEE also forced the Security Council to authorise UNMEE to temporarily relocate some of its personnel from Eritrea to Ethiopia, an operation which was carried out in December.
These difficulties notwithstanding, the Mission continued to focus its work on other important areas. For example, in 2005, UNMEE's humanitarian component began to advocate a more coordinated approach towards the implementation of the quick impact projects, the HIV/AIDS programme, sexual exploitation and abuse training, as well as the inclusion of gender view points in its work. A forum met regularly to coordinate work, exchange information and implement projects. As a result of its initiatives, the forum took steps to improve management of quick-impact projects, speed up their adoption and get Mission funds with minimum delays.
UNMEE, in collaboration with the International Committee of the Red Cross and the office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, continued to monitor and report human rights cases involving vulnerable groups such as children and women, especially abductions, disappearances and border crossing in the TSZ and surrounding areas.
In response to the stalemate, UNMEE increased its public information activities by reaching communities on both sides of the border to raise awareness of UN days and the issues they represent. These activities were carried out in both capitals as well as in the Sectors, where they were received most enthusiastically by the public.
UNMEE's work to clear landmines in the TSZ has been largely successful. In 2005, UNMEE formed an "integrated" approach to clearing landmines, combining the Mission's military resources with those of a private demining contractor, Mechem of South Africa. Mechem's use of mechanical techniques and mine detection dogs complemented the manual demining expertise of the peacekeepers. This initiative led to an immediate, significant rise in mine clearance at a much lower operational cost. So far UNMEE has cleared millions of square metres of minefields in some of the most heavily mined areas of the TSZ. The land has been returned to the local population for farming and occupancy. UNMEE's unique approach to integrated demining could serve as a model for future UN peace operations, and has already been adopted by the UN mission in Sudan.
For UNMEE, 2005 began with a note of concern over the increased Ethiopian troop strength close to the border. The year ended on an even more disquieting note with the mission's ability to monitor the TSZ degraded by some 60 percent due to the helicopter ban and other restrictions imposed by Eritrea on its ground patrols. The stalemate remained intractable, and a real threat of renewed hostilities existed between Ethiopia and Eritrea, despite calls for restraint by the Security Council.

Billy Ray Shirley III was dedicated to making his community a better place. In the two months since the boy's death, his mother and friends, inspired by his idealism, have been working to establish a community center in his honor.
Shirley, 17, was murdered in August. He went to a party at a facility in Nalley Valley in the early morning hours on a Saturday. A fight broke out between two groups of people and someone fired a gun. A bullet struck Shirley. His killer has not been apprehended.
Soon after his death a group of young people who knew Shirley began working to make his dream of a youth center on the Eastside a reality. That led his mother, Shalisa Hayes, to start the The Billy Ray Shirley III Foundation.
At her son's funeral, she spoke of his dream of establishing a youth center on the Eastside. Two days later she learned some youth were holding a car wash to raise funds for such a facility. "They had not approached me," Hayes said. "They took the reins themselves to do this."
The foundation is assembling a steering committee to explore how to make Shirley's dream a reality. Committee members have offered suggested on potential partners. So far Hayes has had discussions with representatives of Metro Parks and Tacoma Public Schools about the proposal.
No decision has been made on whether to aim for using an existing building or constructing a new one. Hayes said the committee has identified several sites and is researching their availability.
Mayor Marilyn Strickland is impressed by how Hayes is trying to create something positive out of the tragedy of her son's death. Strickland is willing to look at what city resources may be available, but suggested Hayes consider using existing buildings, such as a school or church.
Within a few weeks Hayes plans to meet with an architect to begin developing a concept of what the facility might look like complete with gymnasium, perhaps two, in order to host youth basketball tournaments. She wants an academic component. "There needs to be a place for these kids to do homework and have access to the Internet," she remarked.
Youth offering input have told her they want a music studio and arts and crafts activities.
Hayes meets with youth weekly about the project. In early January she plans to hold a meeting for elected officials, business owners and staff from organizations that want to learn more about the project.
She said her son would be pleased that people have banded together to establish a youth center, but would expect it to be named after him, as some of his friends have proposed.
"He liked doing things to help people," Hayes said. "He did not need or want a pat on the back. He just did it because it made him feel good."

So I read in a recent article that said, because most of the population is vaccinated, this is the reason that outbreaks are contained. If the population were not vaccinated, there would be an outbreak across the entire nation.
Trying, as a non-vaxer, to figure this one out.
Okay, well, here's an example. The relevant portion states:
In other words, vaccinated people had less severe disease and were less likely to contract and to transmit varicella (chicken pox).
So in a group with mostly vaccinated individuals, the disease will spread much more slowly. Obviously a disease that spreads slowly is much easier to contain than a disease that spreads quickly.
More obviously, disease cannot really be contained without quarantining the entire exposed population, which is not going to be possible.
Yes, yes. I'm fabulous. Moving on...
By cutting out links in the chain of infection.
Let's say a six-year-old (let's call him Andy) gets measles. There is no vaccine, so measles is pretty common, but Andy happened to pick it up while traveling overseas with his family, so as far as his local is concerned, he is the origin for this particular outbreak.
There are twenty kids in Andy's class at school, including him, but three of them have had measles before so are immune. That leaves sixteen kids he could potentially pass it on to. During the period where he is contagious but not showing symptoms yet, he passes it on to three of those sixteen - two kids at lunch when he sneezes over their open lunchboxes and the kid at the desk next to him just from breathing the same air. Those three other kids manage to pass it on to four other kids in their class, for a total of eight kids in the class getting it this go-around. Eight kids still have never had measles, but they will likely all have had it by the time they are ten.
Of the eight kids from Andy's class who get sick, maybe one or two don't happen to have much contact with kids outside of class during the time they are contagious at school and then spend a weekend home away from other kids before being too sick to go back to school on Monday, but others pass it on two another kid or two, and some may pass it on to several.
One of those kids passes it on to her best friend at a playdate, who passes it on to her little brother, who infects several kids at his daycare, including one who passes it to her older sister, who passes it to several kids in her class at school including Suzy is about to fly across the country to attend her Aunt's wedding, and will be bringing the measles as a gift to the other children there. She also may pass it onto people at the airport or on the plane, potentially sending it in several different directions.
Or another infected child passes it through a chain of ten kids to Billy, whose young cousins are in town visiting from another state and will take it home with them. Or another who starts a chain of infection that includes, among many others, Emily, who is infected right before she leaves for a Disneyland for a week long vacation with her family.
Now let's take another look at the chain that starts with Andy, but this time with vaccination. Sixteen kids in Andy's class are immune thanks to vaccination. Two kids are not immune despite being vaccinated, and two others (besides Andy) are not vaccinated, leaving four kids who he could potentially pass measles on to. However, none of those four happens to be sitting near him when he sneezes on open lunchboxes, and none is the kid in the desk next to him, so the infection chain stops right there.
Or maybe he still does pass it on, but only to the one or two kids who are home alone during their most contagious periods and wouldn't have passed it on anyway, so it is contained to a single class. Or maybe he still passes it to the girl who would have passed it to her best friend at the playdate, but her best friend is protected by vaccination, so doesn't get it. Or maybe it makes it all the way to the daycare, but the child who passed it on to the older sister is well protected by his vaccine and so doesn't get it. The point is, there are so many places where the chain of infection could be broken before it gets to Suzy, Billy, or Emily and taken out of town.
Basically, it is just herd immunity. It's not perfect, the disease could occasionally pass through just the right path of un-vaccinated and not immune despite vaccination people to infect someone who is about to travel and infect others at their destination. But high levels of immunization decreasing the number of people who can get it, which decreases the number of cases and the chane that someone who is just about to travel out of town will get it and take it with them is why most measles outbreaks are contained to a specific geographic area rather than being spread widely around the country.
If you look up the story of Leicester, England in the 1830s, that town used quarantine to avoid a smallpox epidemic and refused vaccinations. Leicester had fewer cases of smallpox than the vaccinated towns. The smallpox cases were quickly isolated and so were the persons who cared for them. This is largely ignored by provaxers.
On the contrary, it is a fascinating example for anyone interested in public health. There do seem to be two different versions of history circulating, however. For the another side of the story, you might read this account.
I'd trust the NHIS before I'd trust whale.to. I'm not sure what that has to do with anything, though.
And, yeah, quarantine has been used for thousands of years...as has vaccination. We've gotten a great deal better at sanitation, and of course that's important too. And the combination of all three has the best results, as we saw with the eradication of smallpox.
So I read in a recent article that said, because most of the population is vaccinated, this is the reason that outbreaks are contained. If the population were not vaccinated, there would be an outbreak across the entire nation.
Trying, as a non-vaxer, to figure this one out.
I suppose the assumption is that the population is not immune from previous infection either. As was demonstrated in the example pers provided, immunity is what broke the chain, regardless of whether it was immunity from the vaccine or prior disease.
As is mine.
I'm not sure what it is that you do for people who have had vaccine reactions, but my experience with medical professionals (including family members) is that they often make great sacrifices for anyone who needs medical help. That doesn't mean that they spend a great deal of time dealing with people who have had vaccine reactions. DH, for example, has never had a patient who had a reaction severe enough to require medical help. So obviously he spends his time taking care of patients who need help with other problems.
OP- This could sound harsh, but I don't mean it that way. So I hope that you are able to recieve it in the spirit with which it's intended.
If you don't understand how immunity affects disease transmission then I don't think it's a good idea for you to be making decisions about infectious diseases for your kids.

Hmm not sure that you can take that statement any other way THAN harsh lol. But I'll try I guess.
Actually, my question came off an article I was reading that involved about 2/3rds of "vaccine failures"...so maybe I should have posed my question better.
So are you saying that because someone doesn't understand the complexity of disease transmission completely (ie, fully vaxed people getting VPDs when exposed, not vaxed people not getting the disease when exposed) that also means they must not understand the risks/benefits of each disease and each vaccine separately? Not to mention how to treat each VPD if it were to occur? Not sure I understand where that correlation comes from in your line of thinking as it relates to making vaccine decisions. There is so much more to know about making a vaccine decision than just how disease transmission occurs in general populations...or why it occurs in vaccinated populations.

Quarantine and exclusion are not the most effective means of controlling the spread of disease because they require every day citizens - most of whom feel the have no risk of contracting or spreading xyz disease - to greatly restrict their movements. The require the physical ability to isolate the healthy population from the infectious and the potentially infectious. They require a way to still provide medical care to those under quarantine. And even more politically, they require people who would be put under quarantine or exclusion to have a way to still earn their living while unable to go to work, so they have less incentive to break their exclusion orders and risk the general population. Sometimes it works really well. Especially if there is a short incubation period, and you get knocked on your butt really quickly by the symptoms. It's hard to spread sickness to the general population when you're lying on your bathroom floor wishing you would die. But sometimes it doesn't. And what should the consequences of breaking quarantine or exclusion orders during a pandemic be? Jail time? What if someone dies? Quarantine is still used today for many things, and people break it All The Time. You can't even imagine how hard it is to get some people to comply with quarantine orders, even when they have highly infectious diseases like TB and are actively symptomatic. People just do not like to have their movements restricted, and some people as long as they can still walk and aren't chained to their bed will find a way to get back out into the general population. But maybe that is what we should do. We might need a military force dedicated to quarantine and exclusion enforcement. :lol:
Also, has anyone read "A Prayer for the Dying". It's a novel - but an interesting portrayal of a small down during a disease outbreak.
Just pointing out for those who might not be aware - there is a difference between quarantine and isolation. Isolating sick people is much easier than quarantining exposed but not sick people. I also think that those strategies were much more effective during times when society wasn't so mobile.
If that is true, it is horrible. How can you possibly include that in a list of quarantine successes? And leprosy? It's not highly contagious, has a very long incubation period, is easily treatable, and 95% of the population is naturally immune. Oh, and the stigma attached to it, which has been aggravated by quarantine, has prevented and continues to prevent early diagnosis and treatment. It's not exactly the poster case for quarantine's effectiveness.
From what was written in your original post it didn't sound like you understood how immunity affects disease transmission. And it's my opinion that if someone doesn't know that then they shouldn't be making decisions regarding infectious diseases for their children. Infectious disease and vaccines are huge, complicated topics. But I think that understanding immunity and disease transmission are the basics. I don't expect parents to know about that, though, to be good parents. We can't all know everything. But I think that if someone doesn't know at least the basics of something, they should probably leave it up to an expert until/if they gain more knowledge on the subject. Especially when it's something that could have a serious affect on the health of children.
And to answer your question: I do think that if people don't understand "fully vaxed people getting VPDs when exposed, not vaxed people not getting the disease when exposed" then they also don't fully understand the "risks/benefits of each disease and each vaccine separately ." Like I said, I think that transmission and immunity are the basics and if you don't understand those, then you aren't aware of the risks of diseases especially. It seems that that's not a popular sentiment around here, but that is my opinion.
Hmm not sure that you can take that statement any other way THAN harsh lol. But I'll try I guess.
Actually, my question came off an article I was reading that involved about 2/3rds of "vaccine failures"...so maybe I should have posed my question better.
So are you saying that because someone doesn't understand the complexity of disease transmission completely (ie, fully vaxed people getting VPDs when exposed, not vaxed people not getting the disease when exposed) that also means they must not understand the risks/benefits of each disease and each vaccine separately? Not to mention how to treat each VPD if it were to occur? Not sure I understand where that correlation comes from in your line of thinking as it relates to making vaccine decisions. There is so much more to know about making a vaccine decision than just how disease transmission occurs in general populations...or why it occurs in vaccinated populations. I apologize if my question came off as ignorant in some way...I would hate to give anti-vaxers a bad name... [couldn't find a sarcastic smilie]
Due to some family connections, I am fairly well informed on approaches to treatment of AIDS and HIV worldwide. I have never heard of any country isolating AIDS patients on an island, and the Scandinavian countries are often considered models for public health, so I would think it would have come up.
So I'm utterly blown away by your comment about Sweden. I'm sure you have a good reason for believing this to be true. However, it is a hideous (and counterproductive) human rights violation. If you still have your notes lying around, would you please share your sources?
I'm digging - so far, I've found one reference in an article in Spin magazine in 1988: http://books.google.com/books?id=5oyYjDeNc_AC&pg=PA88&lpg=PA88&dq=Does+Sweden+quarantine+people+with+AIDS?&source=bl&ots=3q1F3PVOlS&sig=ZXGo-euOnDyeSfDoAw94iUMVPkE&hl=en&ei=2M2TTZunEYzGsAOt1YC4BQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CBoQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=Does%20Sweden%20quarantine%20people%20with%20AIDS%3F&f=false
1988 was very much a time of crisis and fear, and an article about cultural responses to AIDS is not a great source of information on public health strategies. It's possible that this article reflected a real Swedish policy that reflected the understandings and attitudes of 1988. Or, alternately, this statement (made by a writer promoting a play that dealt with the theme of quarantine and civil rights) might reflect a zeitgeist of fear and uncertainty in re. the personal vs. societal costs of handling the AIDS outbreak.
Still looking . . .
I can see the first page of an article that claims that, in 1983, Sweden was the first country to have recourse to legislation in re. people living with AIDS. The rest of the article is behind a pay wall, and I can't see it.
Several other sources report that Sweden has no travel restrictions for people with AIDS/HIV, and that treatment centers are available throughout the country. This one is typical: http://www.hivtravel.org/Default.aspx?PageId=143&CountryId=170
In a statement to a a High Level Meeting on AIDS at the UN in 2008, Sweden's ambassador emphasized the importance of of respecting human rights (and gender equality) in the fight against AIDS. http://www.un.org/ga/president/62/issues/hiv/sweden.pdf
The first page of an article on LexisNexis describes Sweden's laws about AIDS from 1983 and 1985 - quarantine is not mentioned:
link: https://litigation-essentials.lexisnexis.com/webcd/app?action=DocumentDisplay&crawlid=1&doctype=cite&docid=48+Md.+L.+Rev.+77&srctype=smi&srcid=3B15&key=7510a87c2a9efe5d175e14b0f14d002f
Again, the rest of the article is behind a pay wall, but it does at least clear up my questions about the nature of Sweden's early-80s legislation.
Sweden does have on the books laws that allow under extreme circumstances forceful detention for I think around 30 diseases. They have pretty strict testing and reporting guidelines, and if you have a disease of significant public health concern you are given mandatory treatment and transmission prevention plans. And if you don't comply you can be forcibly detained at a hospital until you're healthy or you comply.
I don't have a link handy, but one of the main laws is the Communicable Disease Act.
Um. Leprosy was first treated with antibiotics long before quarantine laws were rescinded. Quarantine for leprosy is actually still in use today in some parts of the world. Personally, I don't think that's a good thing.
True. Quarantine certainly did the spread of many diseases, and it is unlikely that the smallpox vaccine could have eradicated smallpox on it's own without quarantine - it was the double whammy tactic of quarantining everyone known to be exposed and vaccinating all possible contacts among them (to cut down on cases slipping by due to not knowing about exposure) that finally rid us of Smallpox. Quarantine is still used effectively for very scary diseases such as Ebola, and you can bet that if smallpox was ever released as biological warfare, they would be quarantining everyone who may have been exposed as well as vaccinating. But yet quarantine couldn't rid us of many diseases such as leprosy, smallpox, measles, scarlet fever, tuberculosis, German measles, mumps etc.
Modern sewage treatment and such keeps us free of diseases such as cholera and typhoid fever which are spread by contaminated water and food. Handwashing and wiping down surfaces and such can help keep people from getting sick, but how many kids wash their hands every time someone coughs or sneezes or wipes their nose? How many teachers go around wiping down all the desks around someone who sneezes? Colds and the flu still go around, and somehow the modern sanitary conditions of the eighties couldn't keep my generation from getting chicken pox - pretty much all of us did.
How effective quarantine is also depends on how contagious the disease is and how it is spread. Quarantine was completely ineffective in the case of polio because so many people were wandering around spreading the disease while showing no signs of it themselves. It would be pretty hard to fight measles, for instance, with quarantine too. Measles is much more contagious than say smallpox, and unlike smallpox which most of the time is only contagious after the start of symptoms (though occasionally people were contagious with smallpox for a bit before they were sick or what they had) measles is typically contagious for two to four days before there are any symptoms. So in the case I made up of little Andy in kindergarten, as soon as he started showing symptoms, should they have put all the kids in his class who hadn't had measles yet under house arrest for three weeks? And the kids who rode the bus with him? Sat anywhere close to him at lunch? Had an extracurricular activity with him or played with him on the playground? Were in the doctors office waiting room at any point with or just after Andy? What about the kid who didn't even know that he'd sat at the same place at a library table as Andy had been sitting at and left his measles germs all over just fifteen minutes before? How would you even track all these kids down? And then a few months later, when Emily in the same kindergarten class got measles from a kid she'd been sitting near on a city bus without ever even having known she'd been exposed, would you do it all over again and keep all those kids locked up for another three weeks?
It would be impossible to eradicate a disease like measles through quarantine. At best, you could slow the spread, resulting in most kids getting it when they were older rather than younger, which could be dangerous if they got it as teens or young adults when it was more dangerous.
There is no one-size-fits-all solution to the problem of all diseases. Instead there are a lot of different tools to use in fighting disease, each with its advantages and disadvantages, and for many diseases, vaccination is by far the best tool we have.

Like a fickle 12-year-old with a favorite pop band, the security industry has forgotten all about last year's fads and is focused on a new one: cloud computing.
This was exceedingly evident at this week's RSA Conference in San Francisco, which boasted significantly improved attendance including actual users and buyers.
Top 10 RSA Conference security innovators
It all made for a fun game of cloud bingo: start the timer when a vendor briefing begins and wait until you hear the word "cloud" – then jump up and shout "bingo" (not an original idea -- Bruce Schneier publishes an excellent RSA bingo card). Fortunately it was not a drinking game, otherwise I would have risked alcohol poisoning. Few vendors made it past the 10-minute mark.
Cloud is the latest frontier of security marketing, if not of actual products or customer deployments. As our research shows, less than 1% of the people who participate have deployed anything in an infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) cloud, though we do see quite a bit of adoption in software-as-a-service (SaaS).
RSA President Art Coviello observed that this may be the first time the industry has started working on the security problems before the technology is mainstream. In a way, this is a welcome departure from the usual state of affairs where security is a long delayed afterthought.
For companies that already use IaaS cloud (such as my company Nemertes Research), the issues of security are not mere philosophical musings. We have to soberly examine the inherent risks and build compensating controls.
Cisco's Chris Hoff opened the Cloud Security Alliance Summit at RSA with an excellent presentation on this topic, delivering a pragmatic assessment of the issue of cloud security. For Hoff, the question "Is the cloud secure?" is pointless, and "Compared to what?" is the only sensible answer. In Zen Buddhism, a "koan" is a philosophical question that cannot be answered but invites introspection -- "what is the sound of one hand clapping?" The Zen answer to such questions is "mu", which means "your question has no meaning". Let's all practice saying "mu" because the topic of cloud computing will create many opportunities for us to un-ask these meaningless questions.
The cloud pragmatist will have to weigh the relative security of a cloud as compared to alternatives such as hosting, co-location or his own data center. The cloud is a platform shift that forces us to re-focus on the tried-and-true approaches that we have been discussing for at least a decade: data-centric and identity-centric security, the perimeter-of-one model, the need for audit and assurance.
On the topic of audit and assurance, one of the more interesting elements of the Cloud Security Alliance Summit was the A6 workgroup, which aims to "to provide a common interface that allows providers to automate the audit, assertion, assessment and assurance of their environments and allow authorized consumers of their services to do likewise via an open, extensible and secure API across SaaS, [platform-as-a-service] and IaaS offerings." Pay attention to A6 -- it could be a very useful standard.
RSA 2010 is a promising indicator for the year: palpable enthusiasm, excitement and activity, and real users actually interested in buying stuff. A big change from 2009.
Read more about wide area network in Network World's Wide Area Network section.
This story, "Hoping that early attention to security will bolster cloud offerings" was originally published by Network World.

I haven't had the chance to make many fancy breakfasts lately. My morning usually consist of running around the house like a mad woman to see how many things I can get done before the baby wakes up. Things like brushing my teeth and putting on clean clothes. I am afraid if I wait until the baby wakes up these things will somehow escape me and I will stay in my pajamas all day. Actually, I am wearing my pajamas right now, at 1:00pm on a Saturday afternoon, but I put on gym clothes to go to CrossFit, took a shower, changed into jeans and a top to go to the farmers' market and then changed back in to my pajamas so that totally doesn't count.
Kevin has taken over a good portion of breakfast duty, but I miss making breakfast so last Sunday I offered to make a special breakfast while Kevin watched the baby.
|Play time!
I knew I wanted to make pancakes, but I wanted to try something new (like always). We had a ton of zucchini so I decided to try zucchini bread pancakes based on the zucchini bread recipe I made for the state fair last year (I didn't win so I guess the state fair judges aren't on board with grain free desserts yet). The recipe only used about half of a large zucchini so I shredded the remaining zucchini and made zucchini scrambled eggs to serve with the pancakes! Baby A did start crying for his breakfast as soon as the first pancake hit the griddle so Kevin had to take over pancake flipping duty, but he did me proud. They came out perfect!
These were SO good and tasted just like zucchini bread! I bet they would be even better with chocolate chips...
Grain Free Zucchini Bread Pancakes
Makes 10-12 Pancakes
Time: 30 Minutes
1 1/2 Cups Almond Flour
1/2 Tsp Salt
1 Tsp Cinnamon
1/2 Tsp Ginger
1/2 Tsp Nutmeg
1/4 Tsp Allspice
3 Eggs, Beaten
1/2 Cup Coconut Milk
1/2 Cup Water
Juice of 1/2 Lemon
1 Tsp Vanilla
1 Cup Shredded Zucchini (about 1/2 of a medium zucchini)
1/2 Cup Raisins
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Mix almond flour, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and allspice in a bowl.
Mix eggs, coconut milk, water, lemon juice and vanilla in a separate bowl.
Mix dry ingredients in with wet ingredients and whisk until smooth and there are no clumps.
Fold in shredded zucchini and raisins until well combined.
Grease skillet or griddle with oil of your choice. Make sure it is really well covered so the pancakes don't stick!
Using a 1/4 measuring cup, scoop batter onto skillet or griddle. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until they start to bubble and are golden around the edges. Flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Top with additional raisins and maple syrup!

Very Natural Tan from Evanston, IL Verified Purchaser
I've tried many 'high end' tanning products and this lotion produces by far the most natural tan. At first I was a bit shocked at how dark the lotion was, but in applying it, the color was a plus because it made it obvious when I was putting too much on one area of skin. I've never bothered to write a review before. This product more than deserves praise. I use it all the time now, even in winter for just a light bit of color. Review posted 11/12/2012.

Very good, realistic color from a self-tanner from Ipswich, MA Verified Purchaser
The best quality of this self-tanner is that it contains a color guide that actually stains your skin (some of it washes off, but part of the color guide remains and is long lasting) and so the color guard tint adds to the DHA self-tanner color...this makes the resulting 'tan' more realistic than a DHA self-tan alone would be. Normally I avoid self-tanners with color guides as they tend to be messy, to stain clothing and look dirty, but this product's color guide actually has a purpose in that it improves the final tan color. That usually isn't the case, especially with most drugstore self-tanners. Also, this product has very little of that unattractive self-tanner scent. Lastly, because the concentration of DHA is quite high, you use less (one or two coats) to get a dark color, but you avoid being orange because of the residual stain of the color guide. The end result is a reddish brown tan color. This is pricey, but will last a long time and a worthwhile investment if you tend to turn orange with self-tanners. Good product! Review posted 11/7/2007.

Very natural looking tan. from Toronto, ON Verified Purchaser
The tan I got was very close to my natural color of a tan. Doesn't have the usual self-tanner scent - smells like almonds. I apply it every other day to maintain the color. Stains hands a lot even if you wash them immediately after and will stain your bedding as well (but washes away without a trace on white sheets). Palms of your hands return to normal color by the afternoon the next day. One bottle lasts for approximately 2-3 weeks with every other day application on a petite body. Review posted 6/16/2012.

Instant natural looking tan! from Streetsboro, OH Verified Purchaser
Finally! Results in ONE night, no orangey color, no stained clothes! I used this product 3 nights in a row and instantly had a great looking tan! AND it really made my skin feel great after washing it off the next day... like it added oil-free moisture! I tend to have problematic skin (redness, dry patches but also breakouts on my back) and so sunless tanners usually add to the problems but not this one. Review posted 12/24/2012.

The most 'natural-looking' tan I've ever had out of a bottle! LD from Montgomery, AL Verified Purchaser
'Sun' is a terrific self-tanning lotion. You need only to apply it every other day, using regular moisturizing lotion in between, to keep the nice brown tan. There are no orange hues to your skin. People actually have commented on my nice tan. I recommend it highly to anyone who is looking for healthy color without the sun's harmful rays. Review posted 7/22/2012.
