Veteran Birthright Israel Coordinator to Pursue Dream of Teaching
Nomi Mitchell '06
After leading 12 Birthright Israel trips in fewer than five years, Nomi Mitchell '06 is going back to school. This summer— after two more Birthright Israel trips— she will embark on a new program that includes a track toward a master's degree in Jewish education at Hebrew University.
"The hardest part about leaving this job is I love staffing Birthright Israel trips," Nomi said. "Having this experience with young Jewish adults has been the most inspiring part of my entire journey. Watching them grow during and after their Israel experience has been really inspiring." She acknowledged that "the job definitely has a shelf life — most coordinators don't stay longer than three years."
The 18-year-old Birthright Israel program says its mission is "to give every Jewish young adult around the world, especially the unaffiliated, the opportunity to visit Israel."
After graduating from Maimonides, Nomi took part in Young Judaea's Year Course in Israel, then immediately enlisted in the Israel Defense Forces for two years. She returned to the U.S. and received a bachelor's degree in religion and Jewish studies from Northeastern University, which is where she became involved with recruiting for NU's Birthright Israel program.
"I always knew about it — and I knew I wasn't eligible." She ended up helping staff a Northeastern Birthright Israel trip in the winter of 2012. "It was definitely an eye-opener for me, in terms of understanding who Birthright Israel is targeting, what the goals are and what people got out of it. For a lot of people it was the first time to Israel — and a completely life-changing experience for some of them."
Nomi accepted a position as engagement associate with Cornell University Hillel, staffed another Birthright Israel trip in the winter of 2013, and then was put in charge of recruitment for the campus. Then in May 2014 she returned to New England as the Birthright Israel/CJP Campus Initiative coordinator at Boston University Hillel.
Birthright Israel trips, which are free to participants, last 10 to 12 days, and the Boston University campus trip usually sends about 80 students. Leadership is by Nomi, a male staff member, and a tour guide. The itinerary is full, so "everything on the Birthright Israel trip is just a taste," Nomi acknowledged.
"Every Birthright Israel trip has a template, but the trip organizer, Israel Outdoors, always leaves wiggle room to put in things that are different," she said. "They do let me make special requests and customize the campus trips as much as possible. It's definitely not a cookie-cutter itinerary," although there are some activities that are standard, including visits to Masada, the Dead Sea and the Kotel.
"Every campus culture is different, and Birthright Israel coordinators all have to figure out how we incorporate that into the trip," she continued. Boston-based itineraries always include the local federation's partnership with the city of Haifa — not only a visit but also some kind of service activity. She especially enjoys stopping at the Yemin Orde youth village, the home and school for at-risk youths located south of the city. "The BU students really loved it there."
Inspired by Birthright, "A lot of BU alumni have had subsequent Israel experiences, continuing to explore their relationships with Israel and their Jewish identities," Nomi said. "That's really inspiring." She advises the par-ticipants: "This is just the beginning. Don't go into your Birthright Israel trip thinking that this will be the only opportunity you will have to go to Israel. Keep going back to learn, explore, and widen your horizons."
Nomi, who is from Providence, began her Maimonides career in Grade 6. There were teachers "who saw potential in me and encouraged me to believe in myself," she said, including her eighth grade English teacher, Sharon Steiff, z"l, and her high school social studies teacher, Carlo DiNota. She added that she hopes to teach like Rabbi David Ehrenkranz. "Talmud was really hard for me and he made it fun. I want to make Judaism enjoyable and relevant for my students."
"My grandma used to say to me, 'I think you would be a great teacher.' Education is definitely where I find my passion, even though it has not been in a formal setting," Nomi related. "For me, education has been experiential — we are touching things, feeling things, smelling things, all very relatable for the Birthright demographic."

"If the race is good, so is the place." --Ralph Waldo Emerson
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3ifRA0Kj-8 [Tavern scene w/ the German girl-captive]
CAPTION: A series of cartoons in the America volume of 'Far Country, Neighbor Country' saying the reason Arab terrorists hate the U.S. and carried out the Sept. 11, 2001 attack is because 'Jews use money and public discussion as weapons to make WASPs do what they want.'
In your opinion I'm a racist. You're just saying that because I'm white. Anti-racism is a code word for anti-white
Wow, if that is not a prime example of what is considered anti-semitism I don't know what would be.
Just disagree with them, or even see the point that someone else who disagrees with them is trying to make and POOF you are anti-semitic!
Me on the other hand? Well I actually AM anti-semitic and I have good reason to be. You see I was blessed with a fully functioning brain and eyes upon my birth, so how could I possibly not be?
Is there something wrong with anti-zionist beliefs? Many Jews are opposed to zionism as well.yet Norway is a major Scandinavian purveyor of anti-Zionist and antisemitic attitudes and beliefs, and indeed challenges Spain for the European laurels
I thought that this was a mainstream assumption for anyone who followed the issue.Not to be left behind, Sweden, where Jews form .01% of the population, is a veritable hotbed of antisemitic sepsis, its largest daily, Aftonbladet, accusing the Israeli army of harvesting the organs of abducted Palestinians
Where are the organ harvesters/ organ smugglers getting the organs from? They have even found dead Palestinians with missing organs.
Barbara Spectre says that Jews are responsible for their own antisemitism because of their leading role in making Europe multicultural. (That is my interpretation)Britain seems to have leaped into the forefront of the European antisemitic pack, with France breathing down its neck. Jews constitute .25% of the census in the former, .73% in the latter. Both countries have large Muslim immigrant populations, which increasingly influence the official tone of anti-Jewish and anti-Israeli feeling.
Jewish multicultural plan to destroy Europe - YouTube
Interesting.Many writers, publishers and organizations in Japan are preoccupied with Yudakaya, "the Jewish peril."
This is new to me. I have heard about the Argentine/Patagonia theory.According to segments of the Chilean press, the political echelon, the social networks and the public, Israel stands accused of a particularly malefic geopolitical objective, namely, of intending to colonize Patagonia and plant a second Jewish state in southern Chile!
Viktor Orbán: We let go of the delusion of multiculturalism before it turned Hungary into a refugee camp
I thinks that it's obvious that the Jews haven't achieved the control over the Asian countries that it has over the mostly White nations, and these Asians are merely expressing what they see as the truth, without the fear of reprisals that many people here in the United States could expect to see by publishing such an anti-Semitic cartoon, and yet one that accurately tells the truth concerning Jews.
I applaud Japan, the least multicultural of almost any country in the world for defying the Zionists. I would give kudos to Spain and Norway also, except they are becoming more Muslim each day with the influx of Third world immigrants into their countries. Keep up the good work Japan.

The Japanese are Pro-Japanese!
By not being pro-Jewish-domination of Japan, that makes them "anti-Semitic"?
Koreans don't like Africans very much either. Korean pop songwriter Jenny Hyun recently got in trouble for this twitter tirade:
In your opinion I'm a racist. You're just saying that because I'm white. Anti-racism is a code word for anti-white
Her observation of removing blacks like amputating a limb that has been destroyed by gangrene is very good.
How does a Doctor diagnose gangrene? By observing that a limb has turned black and become useless!
Sounds like the diagnosis of the inner city, Post Office, medical facilities, and much of the Federal Government.
Returning the black Central Africans back to their homeland in Central Africa would benefit the entire world; besides that, their families in Central Africa want them to return. That would be the biggest win/win situation in all of Human History!

How can you be sure if you've never tried changing the types of behavior that tick people off?The anti-Semite does not begrudge the Jew how he is or what he does, but that he is at all.
You know, like using all sorts of Ponzi schemes, usury as theft, discriminating and conspiring against non-Jews to enrich yourselves and harm them, and having a religion which makes yourself divine while excluding everyone else?
Your definition of 'anti-semite' is false, not only because it makes an assumption about whomsoever YOU call 'anti-semite', but because in practice you make no allowance for people with whom YOU disagree, or who YOU don't like. To a Jew, they are ALL 'anti-semites' and YOU know it!
Wrong again.What Jews cannot be forgiven today is the rebuilding of a national home.
What you can not be forgiven for is kicking people off land they have lived on for generations and murdering others.
You COULD be forgiven if you'd knock it off!
Not exactly. Jews work toward communal hegemony everywhere they are. They...as it were "Think globally but Act locally".The re-creation of the state of Israel in its ancestral territory is broadly regarded as a colonial incursion into the Middle East and, in many cases, as the latest installment in a vast Jewish conspiracy to pursue the gradual conquest of the world or to assert a sinister hegemony.
You also have this little religious belief that the Jews will someday usher in the coming of a Messiah who will rule the gentiles "with a iron rod". But before that happens, you need to do your part to pave the way for him. You use the financial system in the countries you inhabit to create this hegemony and the whole process is carried out so as to not be apparent to your unsuspecting hosts.
It is when they finally catch on that what you call 'antisemitism' erupts. And that only happens after your inordinate wealth and power become too conspicuous to conceal or your urge to express your "chutzpah' overwhelms your better judgement.
Incorrect. The PROMINENT publishers are mostly Jewish owned. People who publish "yudayamono " have to do it on their own dime motivated by disgust and have their material published through much smaller gentile ran publishing houses. Authors, journalists, and academics have a high percentage of Jews and Zionist colleagues among them also.Prominent authors, publishers, journalists and academics—the list is daunting—who blame Jews for everything from AIDS to cancer to Alzheimer's to the revival of Nazism, are widely read. "Fascination caused by ignorance, but also in some cases fear and hatred of Jews," says Roth, "probably explain the great popularity of…anti-Semitic yudayamono (Jewish books)."
Few if any 'antisemites' stand a chance of climbing high enough on the social ladder to be called prominent. Those who show signs of it are promptly removed, censored, or chastised. Judge Napolitano, Patrick Buchanan, Marlon Brando are a couple of PROMINENT examples. Even Jew Butt kissing got demoted for even mentioning George Soros.
» Olbermann says Fox must fire Judge Napolitano for being a 9/11 truther Alex Jones' Infowars: There's a war on for your mind!
I've never heard an antisemite, or even a critic blame Jews for cancer or Alzheimers. Although a case might be made that Jews have aggravated the AIDS situation by promoting homosexual marriage and other 'liberal' agendas. Even the open boarders policy that Jews have pushed has admittedly led to an increase in bed bugs and the spread of some third world diseases. According to them it would be 'zeno-phobic' to insists that illegal immigrants go through legal channels and pass a health examination before admittance.
NO NO. The greater evil is the State of Arizona trying to do the job that the Federal government claims is exclusively their domain which they refuse to enforce.
It is a Jewish myth, that Jews don't stink. They may stink every bit as bad as anyone else, especially if they have been hiking a long way.According to Breakstone's report, spectators accosted the backpacker as a "stinking Jew," journalist Andres Figueroa Cornejo "published a diatribe against Israel in El Ciudadano" comparing the country to Nazi Germany, and the vice president of the Christian Democratic Party, Fuad Chachin, denounced Israel for 'killing Palestinian children.'
Are you trying to say that Israeli's DON'T kill Palestinian children?
I'll admit that I wouldn't want this guy marrying my sister. I wouldn't even want him as a boss. But just because I resent being marginalized and ripped off by people like him and his brethren does not mean that I would kill him or even wish him dead. I just don't want to live around him.
And it isn't only the fact that he is ugly that bothers me. I do not care for the many many half Jews, quarter Jews, or even converts to Judaism with no Jew at all in them. Why is this you may ask. In short it is because of the Jewish Supremacism they practice which continuously attempts to erode and degrade everything gentile it can not usurp as it's own and totally disenfranchise white males through divide and conquer propaganda, economic subterfuge, and systematic disenfranchisement.
Many Jews feel that Israel has made the world less safe for them.

Freshdesk, the online help desk software solution, announced that it has raised $5 million in financing led by Tiger Global Management. Previous investor, Accel Partners, is also participating in the round.
Freshdesk closed its Series A funding in October last year. The company will be using the funds raised in this round to ramp up engineering and build more exciting product features. Freshdesk also plans to expand its global support team to meet the growing demand, and use the finance to help other growing businesses provide best-in-class support to their customers.
Freshdesk is a social customer service software that allows companies to support customers through both traditional support channels like email and phone, as well as social networks such as Facebook and Twitter.
"We have been impressed by the Freshdesk team's ability to identify what customers really want in their help desk, and quickly roll out these capabilities into the product. This additional capital will help Freshdesk reach a broader base of businesses big and small," says Shekhar Kirani at Accel Partners.
Recently, the company announced a host of features like time-tracking, ability to add email commands and advanced reporting capabilities in the product."With millions of customers voicing their opinions and complaints on Facebook and Twitter, social customer support is the new marketing. Today, the easiest way to build a powerful brand is to listen and engage with the customer", says Freshdesk CEO, Girish Mathrubootham. "Businesses need an affordable solution to get closer to their customers and engage with them across mobile, social and traditional channels simultaneously. And our mission is to give them just that."
YourStory spoke to Girish on this round of funding:
YS: What can we expect from Freshdesk in the coming months?
We started out building Freshdesk as a full service customer support software that can enable a company to listen and engage with
1. Customers talking to the company through traditional Channels – (Email, Phone, website portal etc.)
2. Customers talking to other customers – (Community Engagement, Idea sharing, Voting etc.)
3. Customers talking about the company on Social channels – Twitter, Facebook etc.
In the coming months we are going to work on transforming customer support from a boring and frustrating experience into a more interesting, engaging, fun and fulfilling experience for both the agents and customers.
YS: What has been the most exciting part of your entrepreneurial journey so far?
The entire journey so far has been terrific in terms of experience and excitement. Last year around this time, we were 6 people slogging it out in hot chennai, in a makeshift office, in a non-descript suburb of Chennai, we did not have a product released, no funding or meetings with VCs. 12 months is a very long time in the life of a startup. Now we have built a super awesome team of 25+ people, have customers in over 50 countries, have tripled our customer base last quarter and the most exciting thing that we experience daily is reading customer love emails. Our biggest achievement till date is that we have built a product that our users love. As long as we have their love, we are confident we will continue to grow and prosper.

The Training Bra Guide
Training Bra
The Training Bra Guide - Buying a first bra or starter bra may seem like a quick and easy decision, but it's not as easy as you would think.
There are plenty of first bras and preteen lingerie choices available, and it can be confusing unless you have a checklist.
Let me show you how...First, you need to know your
correct bra size.
I always recommend being fitted by a professional bra fitter about twice a year, or after a noticeable growth phase.
If you're not comfortable, or shy about being measured for a training bra you can always use our easy bra size calculator, which gives you step by step instructions on determining bra size.
It's important to remember that this size guide is to be used as a guideline.
You should always wear the training bra that feels most comfortable for you.
Preteen Lingerie
Once you've found the right first bra size, you need to consider the different
types of bras. What do you need it for? Everyday wear to school? Physical education? After school sports? Or, do you need it for support?
Preteen bras and lingerie for young teens comes in many different styles, fabrics and fits, to fit a variety of shapes, lifestyles, and fashions.
You'll probably want to start out with one or two different styles of training bras, then gradually add more as you need or want.
Save up to 70% on select lingerie at HerRoom.com
The Training Bra Styles
Teen Sports Bra - Girls sports bra styles are an excellent choice for
first bras, and the most popular for growing teens. Why?
First, because they are usually made of cotton with a touch of lycra and quite stretchy and very comfortable.
Also, young girls in sports bras find they have better support than regular brassieres.
It's important to remember that maturing breast tissue is soft and delicate and needs to be properly supported during high impact activities, such as running, basketball, volleyball, tennis, etc.
Even girls with smaller breasts who would typically wear a small bra should invest in one or two cotton sports bras or high impact sports bras, especially if they take physical education class or are active in sports.
First Bras
Cotton is a natural fabric that is soft and comfortable, and I recommend choosing a cotton preteen bra with a bit of lycra which gives them a nice stretch and better fit.
teen lingerie
bras are available in both wirefree and underwire styles, and come in both unpadded and padded varieties, depending on your preferences.
Lingerie For Teenagers

By Barry Glassner
It's a story that people in my new city keep recounting to me since my selection as president of Lewis & Clark College this summer. The story originated a year ago in a Portland newspaper, Willamette Week, the grim case of the graduate of our law school who found herself on food stamps. More than $120,000 in debt and unable to get a job, she was vexed by incessant phone calls from creditors — precisely the kind of fear-inducing scenario that seems to cloud so many conversations about higher education these days.
As I reply to anyone who asks, I feel badly about young people struggling to find work and pay back loans in today's difficult economy, and all the more about someone from my new home. Yet I have yet to meet a graduate of ours or any college who professes regret about having achieved that education, or who feels he or she would be as competitive in the job market, and as equipped for life, without that degree and all that went into it.
As the nation's high school seniors begin the process of applying to college, many cash-strapped students and parents are no doubt asking themselves whether the return on investment will be worth it. I have a simple message for them: Higher education remains the most rewarding investment they are likely to make in their lifetimes.
Missing the whole story
Politicians, interest groups and many news media people throw around terms such as "out of control" and "skyrocketing" when they talk about tuition trends. "The price of college is skyrocketing into the stratosphere," declared the Cato Institute, a Washington-based think tank, last year. Increasingly common, too, are horror stories such as the one reverberating in the news media and around the Internet this summer about Alexandra Jarrin, an unemployed corporate worker and onetime business school student on the verge of homelessness, who owes $92,000 for an education she now calls " basically worthless."
No one would minimize the burdens of debt and the sacrifices people make for education, and I believe that our institutions need to do everything possible to minimize cost increases. But anecdotes like that one, and about students paying more than $50,000 a year and graduating into six-figure debt, could hardly be more misleading.
Colleges in that $50K club numbered just 58 in the last academic year, according to The Chronicle of Higher Education— a tiny percentage of the nation's roughly 1,700 private four-year colleges. And the most expensive colleges tend to offer the most generous financial aid packages — mostly in the form of grants, not loans. The majority of America's students attend public institutions, where the average tuition is about $7,000 per year for students at four-year universities in their state of residence, according to a 2009 report by the College Board.
Here's something else to lower our collective blood pressure: Average loan debt stood at just over $23,000 for college seniors who graduated in 2008, according to a report released last year by the Project on Student Debt. Nothing to be cavalier about, to be sure. But the figure is a fraction of the $120,000 waved about, and hardly out of line with the debt many Americans take on for a new car. The rhetoric about stratospheric tuition and student debt has its uses, of course — motivating people to vote a certain way, for example, or to stay tuned for the next segment on a news program. But it comes at a cost. The exaggerated horror stories obscure situations that are worthy of serious attention.
Long-term costs
Take, for example, America's downward trajectory in the rankings of nations with the highest percentage of college-educated citizens, a trend that bodes ill for the country's economic competitiveness. Frightening people about costs can only exacerbate this real problem by encouraging would-be students to assume that higher education is not worth the price or is beyond their ability to pay.
Troubling, too, is the apparent ascendancy of the idea that people are better off forgoing college. ABC News put it like this in a headline last year: "Some Debt-Laden Graduates Wonder Why They Bothered with College." In my experience, graduates almost universally tell us their education prepared them for long-term success in their careers while broadening their minds and enriching their lives. They are glad that they "bothered."
Back to our recent law school graduate who has been held up as Exhibit A. The alumna, Emily Jackson, recently contacted several of us administrators at Lewis & Clark and expressed resentment about the way her story has been told and used. She is off food stamps and in a judicial clerk position, she explained. Although she is still struggling to make her student-loan payments, she stresses that she does not blame the school for the tight job market, is proud of her legal education, and appreciates her law school experience.
I am confident that the economy will improve. When it does, Jackson, and most other students and alumni from the nation's campuses, will make their way into the kinds of positions they had in mind when they invested in their education.
For them I will be happy. The young people who fell for the scare tactics and forsook their educations? They're the ones I worry about.

Series Opener Unkind
Rodriguez Traded and Baysox Fall 9-1 in Binghamton
By Bowie Baysox | July 31, 2014 10:39 PM ET
On a day where Baysox opening day starter Eduardo Rodriguez was traded to the Boston Red Sox, the Baysox were hurt by the big inning and fell to the Binghamton Mets in the series opener by a 9-4 score.
Bowie got out to an early lead in the ballgame. The leadoff batter, CF Mike Yastrzemski hit his 1st home run as a member of the Baysox with a solo shot to center field. The home run is the 12th of the season for Yastrzemski between three levels of minor league baseball in the Orioles organization.
Baysox starter Matt Bischoff was able to get out of a potential big inning in the first inning as the Mets left the bases loaded after plating the tying run. After a solo home run from Dustin Lawley gave Binghamton the lead in the third inning, Bischoff could not avoid the big inning in the fourth. The first four Mets batters reached in the inning, forcing Bowie to enter their pen, and all would score.
Binghamton, leading 6-1 through four innings, would plater three runs in the sixth inning with a two-out rally to advance the advantage to 9-1.
Off the disabled list, Ashur Tolliver worked two scoreless innings out of the pen for Bowie. He retired all six batters faced. DH KD Kang had a three hit night. Yastrzemski not only homered, but also tripled and scored. Bowie scored three runs in two innings against the Mets pen.
The Orioles traded Baysox opening day starter Eduardo Rodriguez earlier in the day for veteran big league reliever Andrew Miller. Rodriguez is expected to join Double-A Portland who play in Bowie against the Baysox next week.
The Baysox continue the series in Binghamton Friday, August 1st at 7:05 p.m. Coverage starts 20-minutes prior to first pitch on wnav.com.
Bowie returns home with a Tuesday Fireworks Show on the annual Navy Night at Prince George's Stadium, August 5th at 6:35 p.m. against the Portland Sea Dogs. Get your tickets at 301-464-4865 or online at baysox.com.

Five types of environmentally responsible initiatives that will pay for themselves quickly.
Kate O'Sullivan, CFO Magazine
June 1, 2009
I just created an Energy Efficient Lighting Calculator that helps offices figure out the payback of a lighting retrofit. Although there are lots of calculators that tell you energy savings, none would estimate cost - meaning you couldn't figure out if it was a good investment. So I built one. I'm curious to know if you think any of these other green initiatives are amenable to calculators. If so, maybe I'll look into building those too. Thanks so much, Brandon

Julianne Hough Gets 'Punk'd' by Kellan Lutz and Brother Derek Hough (VIDEO)
America's sweetheart was not so sweet after an actor posing as a pool boy starts to annoy her in the crisis situation. The Rock of Ages actress even curses while trying to rescue her brother.
"It's not gonna help," she tells the man assisting in getting her brother out of the muck. "We have to get people who actually know what the f**k they're doing."
After the guy also falls into the cement puddle, Julianne, 23, begins to get fed up.
"Dude, you're fine!" she says before attempting to help him out.
Moments later, the prank is revealed as Kellan rushes out to greet the former DWTS pro. See her reaction in the video above.
Another celebrity to get Punk'd recently is Kim Kardashian, 31, by Ashton Kutcher, 34. Check out her reaction below, and see the shenanigans in full when Punk'd airs Sunday, June 1 on MTV.

AMC will add to commuters' headaches worldwide tomorrow with a promotional stunt for the upcoming drama series The Walking Dead involving zombies invading 26 cities. The global outbreaks of hundreds of undead will center in and around major landmarks, including the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City, the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C., Big Ben in London, The Prado Museum in Madrid, the Bosphorus Bridge in Istanbul, the Acropolis in Athens and more. They begin at daybreak in Taipei and Hong Kong, followed by Istanbul, Madrid, Munich, London, Sao Paulo, Buenos Aires, New York City and end in Los Angeles, to coincide with the series' Hollywood premiere bash. The Walking Dead premieres on AMC and the Fox International Channels worldwide on Oct. 31.
Zombies Take To The Streets To Promote 'Walking Dead'
9 Comments
I would not be surprised if several of these "zombies" are seriously hurt or even killed by people who believe a zombie apocalypse is possible. Not joking. There's a small but zealous minority that truly think it could happen and are freakishly prepared for it. Mark my words: at least a couple of these zombie actors are going down.
I thought the same thing. It would make a great you tube parody
(Mock outrage): Oooooh! You can't doooo that to the Lincoln Memoooorial! What about Martin Luther King Juuuuuunior?!? He spoke there, making it saaacred! (Sotto voce): Oh. And it memorializes Abraham Lincoln, too.
What time does it start?
Both AMC and Frank Darabont have jumped the shark…seen "The Fog"?This PR stunt is stupid!
That's sounds exciting! Since Halloween is just around the corner, I'm pretty sure many will enjoy this. Hope that everybody will be safe.
Anybody got pictures from this? Very unique stunt.
I am not surprised they copied the marking stunt. They copied the beginning of 28 Days Later. Come on, Guy wakes up in a hospital? Really? However this does look awesome as a candid camera Walking Dead promotion and wish I got to see it somewhere.
I love this show I have watched all the george Romero films n lesser known ones n this tops them great actors we'll put together cast good story line lookin forward to next series. I from Northampton England

Like the whispering voices that tell us what to do, seafood comes from the ocean. Answer the aquatic call with this Groupon.
Choose Between Two Options
- $10 for $20 worth of dinner entrees for two people
- $20 for $40 worth of dinner entrees for four people
The menu includes entrees such as Jessica's Beachcomber 10-ounce ribeye ($17), Mama Sharkey's seafood platter with shrimp, oysters, and fish ($15), and crab-cake sandwiches ($9).
Sharkey's Raw Bar & Grill
When James Hughes, Steven Ramsey, and Matthew Connors moved to Florida together, they fished and lounged on the beach all day and worked at restaurants and bars all night. After returning to the Carolinas, the trio opened Sharkey's Raw Bar & Grill to capture the spirit of their favorite beachside pastime and the infectious energy of the area's bustling nightlife. The private chef for the Masters golf tournament for five years, executive chef Steven steams, grills, and fries some of the ocean's tastiest catches, including shrimp, oysters, crab, and fish. His menu also unfolds with crab-cake sandwiches, 10-ounce rib-eye steaks, and gator bites most popular with vengeful pirates with hooks for hands.
A second-place-award winner in the 2011 National Bartending Competition, Matthew manages a full stock of liquor that washes down each bite. Diners can dig in at the outdoor seating area or in the spacious 125-seat dining room, which evokes an oceanic feel with a large mural of octopi, sharks, fish, and a sunbathing Poseidon. Along with their fresh seafood, Sharkey's Raw Bar & Grill entices guests with live music every Friday and Saturday night.


text: Ok Joey, here is what I have got. I have a client I am working with who just built a huge deck with a bar and fire pit. We want to get some lighting in and around the firepit and gathering areas but he is not real hip to the puck lights or permanent post lights. So here is what I had proposed to him but I need to run it by you. The deck he has is elevated about 8' off the ground and I was thinking about mounting some hubble docks around the edges and having some Islanders he could pop in there for parties and take down when the fun is over. He really liked the idea but here is my concern. Being 50" high and docked into a 2-3" port fastened by a couple of screws, my question is, is this thing going to be stable enough? The reason I ask this is once the alcohol starts flowing, folks tend to "bump" into things a bit more often than they normally would and I am afraid of these babies toppling over with a slight nudge. The Hubble was designed for fixtures with stems of around 18" not 50". This is one big lever! So how do I increase stability on these bad boys?

In his six years in Paris, Lebovitz transforms himself from a clueless American duckling into a knowing Parisian swan.
The duckling thought one might have a different opinion, but the Hen would not allow it.
From door to door of the ballroom her mother fluttered like a hen with a duckling.
But it would be too sad if I were to tell all the misery and care which the duckling had to bear in the hard winter.
Yes; the ugly one of the family; the duckling, we call her most times.
duckling watched him with a grin upon his ugly face, the lump over his eye not improving the expression, as you may believe.
And so the duckling was admitted on trial for three weeks; but no eggs came.
When nearly dried off the duckling should be dropped into the nursery below the egg-trays.
"I think I will go out into the wide world," said the duckling.
So the duckling sat alone in a corner, and felt very miserable.

The dying Ulysses S. Grant confesses in these pages a staggering secret: He is an impostor, a fake, a phony. As the novel follows Grant to West Point and into the Mexican War, through grinding poverty and failure that would break another man, and then to Vicksburg, Appomattox, and the White House, Grant wrestles with not only the searing issues of his time, but the questions of fate and destiny that lie at the heart of any great novel. In Grant Speaks, Ev Ehrlich takes history apart and reassembles it, superimposing his outrageous premise over meticulously chronicled events. Here is Grant, his mad blood brother Sherman, and all the other great figures of Grant's time, from Lincoln ("ugly enough to tax a mother's love") to Lee ("that sanctimonious momma's boy . . . I knew I could take him") to Custer ("a little, foppish, yellow dog . . . he got what was coming to him") to Scott, McClellan, Halleck, Garfield, and a host of others, each shown no mercy. Grant's tell-all is at once hilarious and deeply affecting, an inspired mixture of fact and fiction that makes a powerful statement about what "greatness" is . . . and fills in the blanks

Death of Auto-Tune; Death of Kellz; Death of Jay-Z; Death of Competiton?
Words uttered by none other than Brooklyn's Fabolous, the rapper is fresh off his album Loso's Way and in the process of delivering a sequel to his DJ Drama assisted mixtape There Is No Competition.
Slated for a release date on Christmas, the subtitle of the tape will be The Funeral Service. As many fans know, album-Fab and mixtape-Fab are two entirely different entities as the rapper takes off the kiddie gloves to deliver knockouts in the mixtape circuit.
The rapper spoke with MTV to deliver his own anticipation for the upcoming tape.
"Everything on there is just what I've been working on since the album. Even when your album comes in July, I probably finished it in like April or May. Everything musically has been building up in me since then. Sometimes I get it out on R&B features or other stuff that you put out, but I hadn't put out a mixtape in awhile so I had that backed up in me so I had a chance to release. People are really gonna love it."
Loso also added that this time around he intends to go to a darker place in order to bury and rappers that feel that they are competitors.
"There Is No Competition is kinda me saying that there's nobody that can compete with me. This tape is called the death of competition so that's why it's called the Funeral Service so everything is kind of themed around that and it's kind of dark."
Along with the mixtape, he also stated that he intends to create a sequel with Loso's Way 2 which he hopes to release around the summer like the first album.

Several USGS scientists and specialists have worked with NASA on the planning, day-to-day operation and image processing for Spirit and Opportunity on the Mars Exploration Rover (MER) Project. Two Astrogeology scientists, Ken Herkenhoff and Larry Soderblom, are MER Co-Investigators. Ken Herkenhoff was also the Payload Element Lead (PEL) for the Microscopic Imager.
The Mars Exploration Rover mission launched in the summer of 2003. Rover Spirit landed 3 January 2004, and Rover Opportunity landed 24 January 2004. Both rovers have been very successful and are have had their missions extended beyond the initial three month mission plan. Although Spirit's mission has officially ended, the USGS continues to use and process images taken during its time on Mars.

President Obama has a new television ad featuring a testimonial from Democratic predecessor Bill Clinton.
In the spot -- which is running in eight swing states -- Clinton casts the Obama-Mitt Romney race as "a clear choice" between two different economic plans.
"The Republican plan is to cut more taxes on upper-income people and go back to deregulation -- that's what got us in trouble in the first place," Clinton says.
"President Obama has a plan to rebuild America from the ground up, investing in innovation, education, and job training," Clinton says. "It only works if there is a strong middle class."
Clinton also says: "That's what happened when I was president."
The commercial is the latest attempt by Obama to associate himself with a popular president who enjoyed a good economy on his watch.
Entitled "clear choice," the new commercial is airing in New Hampshire, Virginia, North Carolina, Florida, Ohio, Iowa, Colorado and Nevada.
Romney says Obama's policies, including the health care law and Wall Street regulations, rely too much on government, creating a drag on the economy.

Watertown Fire Rescue received a call at 12:39 p.m. Sunday of a corn/bean field fire northeast of the intersection of Sioux Conifer Road and Thirty-eighth Avenue Northwest.
WFR first sent a brush truck to control the blaze but later sent two pumpers, an additional brush truck as well as a fire truck; Florence Fire department also responded with one tanker, one pumper and a brush truck. According to the Aberdeen National Weather Service Station, the 40-acre fire was fueled by 15 mph winds with gusts up to 24 mph along with 27 percent humidity. It also prompted the activation of Codington County Emergency Management along with the Search and Rescue Team and Codington County Sheriff's Department.
Then, less than an hour after leaving the field fire north of town, Watertown Fire Rescue responded to a fire at 220 17th St. SE. According to Officer Kirk Ellis, the fire ignited on the rear deck after a propane tank combusted then moved into the four-plex.

Continence Center / 2-B-Dry Program
To make an appointment, call 858-966-5999.
No matter when it occurs (day or night), incontinence can cause great distress for both the parent and child. When it becomes a frequent occurrence, many parents think that something may be physically or psychologically wrong with their child, fear that their child will be teased or ridiculed and are concerned about their child's self-esteem.
Children may feel anxious and embarrassed, causing them to miss school and avoid other activities with peers, such as sleepovers. Parents, having to continuously deal with the incontinence, may miss work or social engagements.
Persistent nighttime bedwetting (nocturnal enuresis) is the most common issue of bladder control in childhood. The family can take comfort in the fact that the problem is common and children generally outgrow it. In the meantime, though, the agony continues. Frequent wetting can also damage the urinary tract.
Continence Clinic
Children with bladder control issues are evaluated and treated at our Continence Clinic. Our urologists and nurse practitioners are experienced at determining if there is a physical cause for the wetting and prescribing appropriate medications if needed. Additionally, they can prescribe behavioral and nutritional modifications to control the problem.
The 2-B-Dry Program
We have also established the 2-B-Dry Program to help children learn healthy voiding habits, achieve greater continence and prevent urinary infections and other problems associated with incontinence.
The 2-B-Dry Program, under the direction of Leslie Hsieh, M.D., is:
- Based on the latest research and treatment modalities.
- Designed to support each child's specific needs in achieving dryness and better urologic health.
- Proven to help many children achieve dryness.
- Effective in facilitating optimal surgical outcomes.
- Proven to restore self-esteem lost as a result of wetting problems.
- Collaborative with patients' primary care providers to best assist each child in achieving dryness.
What We Treat
- Bedwetting
- Daytime urinary incontinence
- Recurrent UTIs (urinary tract infections)
- Urinary symptoms like urgency and frequency
- Constipation
What We Do
We provide customized therapies to address your child's urinary and bowel issues, including urodynamics, biofeedback and tibial nerve stimulation.
To have your child evaluated for incontinence, please:
- Obtain a referral. Most insurance plans will require your child's primary care provider or pediatrician make a referral to our clinic.
- Have imaging studies ordered. Imaging studies need to be ordered by your child's primary care provider for:
- Day wetting or bedwetting (Abdominal X-ray; Renal and bladder ultrasound)
- Kidney or urinary tract infection (Renal and bladder ultrasound; VCUG with contrast)
- Have imaging studies completed.
- Rady Children's outpatient radiology staff routinely and proficiently performs these studies. Results are immediately available to our medical providers to view in our clinic.
- If you prefer, imaging studies can be done elsewhere. However, the guardian will need to obtain and bring copies of the films to our clinic on the day of the initial evaluation.
- Schedule an appointment through Central Scheduling at 858-966-5999.
- Arrive at the clinic 20 minutes before your child's scheduled appointment so insurance needs and paperwork can be completed.
If your child has urgent medical needs, please have your primary care provider contact us. We look forward to helping your child "2-B-Dry."
Note: The 2-B-Dry Program is only available at the Rady Children's Main Campus location (7920 Frost Street, Suite 200).

The synthesis of the marine natural product 1,6
Over the years numerous polyunsaturated lipids have been isolated and characterized as secondary metabolites from marine sources [
The vinyl ketone
With the use of EPA and DHA in mind three different routes to the target molecule
Route A seemed promising at first. Katritzky and coworkers have published an elegant one step method for the generation of vinyl ketones by the reaction of the propenoyl anion equivalent

We then attempted route B as depicted in
Synthesis of the key intermediate bromide
Alternative synthesis of
This route was quite lengthy so we switched to an approach involving chain elongation of aldehyde
Treatment of the aldehyde with the ylide derived from methoxymethyltriphenylphosphonium chloride and potassium
All reactions were performed under nitrogen. EPA ethyl ester was obtained from Pronova Biopharma, Sandefjord, Norway. All other reagents were used as purchased. The NMR spectra were recorded on a Varian Gemini spectrometer. MS (EI) spectra were recorded on an Autospec Ultima instrument and are presented as
In summary, we have completed the first total synthesis of 1,6
A generous gift of the ethyl esters of EPA and DHA from Pronova Biopharm Norge AS is highly appreciated. Dag Ekeberg at Norwegian University of Life Sciences is acknowledged for the MS analyses of the lipids.

Hey so I am looking to add an HD Hero camera (or an equivalent) to my car pc system. The purpose of the camera would primarily start out as a recording device for driving, mounted somewhere in the grill at the front of the car. However, since I am trying to be innovative I would like to make this camera do more than just record video and take pictures. One idea that I would love to incorporate would be to include license plate scanning technology (similar to systems used by parking enforcement and ezpass). The purpose of this would be to keep track of cars that I have seen before and perhaps log a GPS coordinate as well. Another thought is that this system could also be used to read traffic signs or something of that nature. Now, the software side of that seems daunting to me, but starting out with a great camera like the hd hero would vastly help me along towards reaching those end goals. I believe that these are ideas that have not been tried before and so I would certainly be bringing innovation to the activity.

Speak up about childhood obesity in your community
Rates of childhood and adolescent obesity have been on a steady climb for decades. Childhood obesity has more than doubled in children and tripled in adolescents in the past 30 years. Today, one of every three children and adolescents in the United States are overweight or obese. Only recently have reports emerged that for select parts of the child population, obesity rates dropped in 2013.
While obesity is easily defined as eating or drinking more calories that one burns through physical activity, solving the childhood obesity epidemic is not straightforward. Obesity is a multi-faceted public health issue that requires communities, families, government, industry, primary care and public health organization working together to change environments to better support healthy, active living. One of the ways that you can make an impact in your community is to contact your legislators and ask them to support policies that will make the healthy choice the easy choice for everyone in your community.
Take a moment to voice your opinion in five simple steps:
Locate your Federal elected officials by zip code: https://www.govtrack.us/congress/members
Locate your mayor by city and state: http://usmayors.org/meetmayors/mayorsatglance.asp
All Senators and Representatives have multiple "district" offices. Call the "main" office (NOT the one closest to where you live, but the one in the biggest town in your district or state). Ask to speak to the District Director. Tell the District Director who you are and that you are calling to request a meeting with the Congressman/Senator. In many cases they will want you to meet with staff. This is fine, but insist on meeting with the District Director. They may ask for a request for the meeting in writing.
You can also effect change in your community by contacting your local school board officials and transportation or city planning officials.
Also, ask others in your family or community to write, or join in with a local coalition or membership organization. There is power in numbers and members of
Congress and their staff pay attention to volume. If they get multiple letters on this issue, they will pay attention.
Call the staff you meet with back every two weeks or so to ask for an update on your request. Staff will pay attention to a squeaky wheel.
To raise awareness for childhood obesity, consider writing a letter to the editor of your local paper. Make sure you mention your local Congressman or Senator's name in your letter.

With interest rates at historic record lows, which we're not likely to see again in our lifetime, I thought I'd show you a smattering of what a half million bucks will buy you around the Northern Virginia area – whether you're interested in a condo in Arlington, a townhome in Vienna, perhaps a single family home… there's something for everyone in this enticing price range!
First, let me say this – let's look at some numbers – with a sales price of $500,000, 20% down makes the loan value $400,000. At a rate of 4%, the principal and interest (PI part of PITI) is a mere $1909! Can you say A-F-F-O-R-D-A-B-L-E???
You may choose a condo in Crystal City? There is currently a 4th floor unit in Crystal Gateway – 3 bedroom/2.5 bath with a remodeled kitchen: Price:
Or, perhaps you'd prefer a single family home – there's a lovely split level home in the Alexandria neighborhood of Waynewood – 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath on a 1/4 acre lot – priced: $499,900
There's a great Vienna townhome located at the Vienna metro – it's a bank owned property/foreclosure – but with 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths right at the metro it's a super deal at $499,900
Perhaps you'd like a little more land? There's a great single family in Kings Park West – 4bedroom, 2 bathroom in the Robinson High School district – $499,900
Or, maybe it's home size you're going for – in Ashburn, your $500,000 will buy you a stunning 5 bedroom, 4 bath single family home in the Courts of Ashburn.
There's something for everyone at this amazingly low price!! If you're thinking of buying, it's a terrific time! Please give our team a call and let us help you along the path to your next (or first) home purchase!
Happy Thursday!

An urgent plea echoed among residents of the Makhmur refugee camp in
Iraq with whom CPT met recently, "We just want peace." The United
Nations established the camp
in 1998 to provide refuge to the family members and relatives of the PKK
who lived
in the Kurdish villages of southeastern Turkey. Outside of the building
in which CPTers met with the families, there was a statue of a woman carrying a baby. When
asked about the statue's meaning, people told us, "They died while
fleeing from
the Turkish army. We tried to stay
in six places before Makhmur. It
was winter and many people froze, dying on the way."

Amazon Kills Books on Kindles, Class Says - Particularly Orwell's
SEATTLE (CN) - A federal class action claims that Amazon is deleting books from its Kindle 2 electronic reading device after customers buy them, and ironically, the disappearing books have primarily been George Orwell's "1984" and "Animal Farm." The class says Amazon never told customers it had the right or the ability to delete books from people's personal property - the Kindles.
Named plaintiff Antoine Bruguier says he got an e-mail from Amazon stating that "a problem had been discovered" with his copy of 1984 and that it would be deleted from his Kindle. Bruguier says he contacted Amazon to say, "I would like to keep the title 1984. I like this book."
But Amazon already had deleted the book and issued a refund.
Bruguier says Amazon told him, first, that it could "not offer any additional insight or action on these matters," then said it did not have the right to sell the book. Bruguier claims "Amazon intended to conceal the true purpose" of its actions. "I thought that once purchased ... the books were mine," he said.
Orwell's 1984 depicts a bleak dystopian future in which the flow of information is controlled and censored by a government entity known as "Big Brother."
By deleting the books without customers' knowledge or consent, Amazon also rendered useless any electronic notes made by purchasers of the e-books. Another named plaintiff, Justin Gawronski, says notes such as "remember this paragraph for your thesis" became worthless when Amazon deleted his copy of "1984."
Amazon also has deleted copies of works by Ayn Rand, including "The Fountainhead," "Atlas Shrugged" and "The Virtue of Selfishness," and some Harry Potter titles, blaming a technical glitch, the class claims.
The class claims the deletions violate Amazon's Kindle terms of use policy, which states that purchase of digital content grants the customer "the nonexclusive right to keep a permanent digital copy" of the work and "to view, use and display such digital content an unlimited number of times."
The class, aptly named in the complaint as the "Big Brother Class," seeks declaratory relief, damages and restitution for fraud, breach of contract, and conversion. They are represented by Clifford Cantor of Sammamish, Wash., and Jay Edelson with Kamber Edelson of Chicago.

A TEENAGER had been told to expect life behind bars for the horrific murder of a man in Sedgley.
A jury at Wolverhampton Crown Court took just one hour and twenty three minutes to convict Shylon Wishart, aged 19, of killing Shane Watson in July last year.
Mr Watson was punched and kicked by Wishart and James Cartwright, who then urinated on his body, put a cigarette out in his mouth and took mobile phone pictures which they later showed to friends at a party.
Judge John Warner told Wishart: "There is only one sentence I can pass, it is just a question of how many years you will spend in custody."
Wishart, of North Springfield, Sedgley, showed no emotion as the four-man eight-woman jury delivered a unanimous verdict.
Cartwright, 18, of Sandyfields Road, Sedgley, has already pleaded guilty to the killing, both men will be sentenced at a date to be fixed.
During the seven-day trail, Peter Grieves-Smith, prosecuting, told the court the attack was gratuitous violence and only the two defendants knew the reason why Mr Watson, aged 23, was attacked and then left dying in Greenway alleyway.
Mr Grieves-Smith described the attack as "brutal and cowardly" followed by the humiliation of Mr Watson who had his trousers and pants pulled down around his ankles before photographs were taken as he lay prone on the ground.
The jury rejected Wishart's claims he struck out at Mr Watson in self-defence after he and Cartwright got into an argument with Mr Watson after asking him for a cigarette.
Mr Watson's body was found by his mother and girlfriend, the court was told Wishart and Cartwright had taken Mr Watson's phone and shown callous indifference to calls from his worried girlfriend before finally telling her and his mother: "Your man is dead at the bottom of the alley".
Jane and Steven Watson, Shane's parents, said: "Shane was a fun loving, family orientated man. He always acted as a peacemaker and would actively avoid trouble and do his best to calm situations down.
"I struggle to put into words the scene that I was faced with when I saw Shane lying by himself in the alleyway. It would be any mother's worst nightmare but it is a reality for me.
"I relive the images in my head everyday and cannot erase the painful memory of seeing Shane and hearing the voices of the people responsible for such a nasty, cruel and degrading attack.
"The people responsible took his dignity, his life and my only son. We both idolised Shane, he was the single most important person in our lives and to see him so badly hurt has devastated us beyond words."
Wishart was remanded in custody until he is sentenced.

calls for suggestions for workshops and training events
|Our next call for IDRN proposals is likely to be autumn 2010. However, we can accept suggestions for workshops and other activity at our July steering group meeting. Contact email@example.com for more information.
We would like to invite the research community to send in suggestions for IDRN activity for 2010, specifically workshops or training events - these can be on any infection-related topic. See below for more information and examples of our previous work. All submissions will be discussed at our next steering group meeting at the end of November, and we will contact individuals again in early December.
The next call for submissions is likely to be autumn 2010
|Click here to submit your event suggestion.
More information about the Infectious Disease Research Network
The IDRN aims to promote multi-disciplinary collaborations, provide multidisciplinary training opportunities, and act as a forum for encouraging high quality infectious disease research. Our focus is on UK-based research, although we welcome international collaborators. See the About Us page for more information on our overall objectives.
One of the methods we use to achieve this is to run research workshops and training events, that are designed to bring people together, provide an update on existing research, and pointers for priority areas of research that needs to be done, and develop new collaborations and foster existing relationships.
What support will the IDRN provide?
If you wish us to provide all the administrative support required to run a workshop or event, then we'd be more than happy to do so. This may include setting up a webpage, with all event details and online registration. We can process registrations and payments, book the venue and catering, liaise with speakers, and deal with delegate queries, as well as advertise the event through our website and mailing list, and contact other relevant professional bodies and societies to highlight the event to their members and contact too.
Post-event, we typically create a permanent webpage, where we post the presentations (with speakers permission) and any notes or resources from the event.
We are flexible in our approach, and all event-related requests will be considered.
What do the IDRN charge for events?
We typically charge a subsidised fee of approx £50 per delegate per day (excepting speakers and organisers). Essentially, our consumables budget is not large, and gaining some income from events allows us to cover some costs and run more events. This is still far cheaper than most conferences, and in our experience, does not put people off from attending. We are happy to discuss suitable delegate prices for each event individually, and tailor the prices accordingly.
Tips and requirements
All workshops must take place in the UK.
All submissions must be sent through the above link. We will not accept suggestions though any other route.
Provide as much information as possible. The form has fields for you to indicate topic area, possible speakers, likely outputs etc. You do not have to fill in all fields, but the more detail, the better. We typically receive around 10-12 suggestions each time we run this call, and at least two or three are always lacking in any detail at all.
Most of our beter workshops have successfully combined academic/clinical leadership from yourselves and your partners, and our expertise in running the event. See below for a couple of good examples of this.
We typically reimburse speakers their travel (and if required, accommodation) expenses. Usually we will only refund UK-based individuals, but we can sometimes reimburse european speakers. If international speakers from outside Europe are desirable, then we ask that their expenses be covered by Industry sponsorship.
Some of our recent events have had the proceedings turned into a journal article or editorial and published in peer-reviewed journals. See below for an example of this, and also this pdf article. This is an excellent output for a workshop, so if yourselves or enthusiastic colleagues have the time to put something like this together.
- Allow a 3 month timeframe from putting together a programme to the date of the workshop, e.g. planning an event in December that will take place in late March or April is sensible.
Example of a recent IDRN workshop
Mucosal Perspectives in Pneumococcal Disease
30 April 2009
Liverpool Medical Institute
We were initially approached by colleagues in the Immunology department at Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine. Using their contacts, they led on putting together the scientific programme. The IDRN liaised with the speakers and the venue, organised the registration of delegates, and provided all other support to ensure the event was a success.
Delegate fee was around £50 per person (speakers and organisers were not charged). Around 70 delegates attended, which was an excellent turnout, and feedback from the event has been excellent. The lead academic on this workshop, Adam Wright, has written a workshop summary which has been accepted for publication in the journal Vaccine, and will appear in print in the next month or two.
Emails from attendees have also illustrated a number of collaborations, both formal and informal, have occurred or been set-up as a result of the workshop. These have included the development and submission of grant proposals, sharing of data and techniques and even the recruitment of a new member of staff!

Pirbright, England (UPI) May 27, 2011
Britain's health and safety watchdog agency says it has taken action against an animal health lab at the center of a hoof-and-mouth outbreak four years ago.
The Health and Safety Executive has served the Institute for Animal Health in Pirbright with two "improvement notices" resulting from two incidents earlier this year involving infectious material, the BBC reported Thursday.
In January, a flask containing hoof-and-mouth virus cracked and leaked in a sink that drained into a secure drainage system, so the virus did not leak into the environment.
In a second incident in February an incinerator that was burning cow carcasses leaked liquid but the leak was contained within the incinerator building.
HSE inspectors concluded both were serious incidents and there had been a breach of health and safety legislation in each case.
The Pirbright site was implicated in an outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease in August 2007 that led to the slaughter of more than 2,100 animals in Surrey and Berkshire.
An official investigation indicated the virus could have originated from the Pirbright site, but no prosecution was brought against the lab after the Surrey County Council said there was a lack of evidence to determine the exact source of the outbreak, which cost the farming industry tens of millions of pounds, the BBC reported.
