Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG) has become an example to restaurants now that it has voluntarily labeled all of the genetically modified organisms (GMOs) found in its ingredients.
According to Natural News, CMG has become America's first major food supplier to label these organisms on its products on a voluntary basis. Considering Chipotle brands itself as a healthy alternative to fast food, this new labeling should help further that image.
Of course, the Mexican restaurant chain doesn't want to stop at just labeling what food has GMOs in it — it says it wants to remove all GMO's from its menu.
"Our goal is to eliminate GMOs from Chipotle's ingredients, and we're working hard to meet this challenge," the Chipotle website says. "For example, we recently switched our fryers from soybean oil to sunflower oil. Soybean oil is almost always made from genetically modified soybeans, while there is no commercially available GMO sunflower oil."

Unemployment probably held at a 10-month high in September as turmoil on global financial markets prompted companies to delay hiring staff, figures released this week are forecast to show.
Economists expect labour force statistics to be published on Thursday will show the jobless rate remained at 5.3 per cent for a second straight month, while companies are expected to have created about 10,000 new positions.
Employment growth has weakened this year as sectors of the economy hurt by weak consumer spending and a higher exchange rate shed staff, even as mining groups riding the biggest resources boom in more than a century struggle to fill job vacancies.
ANZ Banking Group's head of Australian economics, Katie Dean, said that structural unemployment could be emerging as a problem for the economy.
"The unemployment rate has started to tick up in recent months, during what is arguably a period of structural change in the economy," Ms Dean said. "Labour is failing to move as much as is needed to the mining states, and there may be some mismatch in skills between the unemployed and the jobs available."
The Reserve Bank of Australia last week kept its overnight cash rate target unchanged at 4.75 per cent for a 10th straight meeting, noting that labour market conditions were now "a little softer" and households had become "more concerned about the possibility of unemployment rising".
But Reserve Bank governor
The International Monetary Fund said in a report on Friday that the Reserve Bank had "ample scope" to reduce interest rates to deal with potentially weaker global growth. It said jobs growth in Australia "has been weak in manufacturing and some service sectors that are not benefiting from high commodity prices."
Job losses at companies including BlueScope Steel and Qantas prompted the Gillard government to hold a forum on employment in Canberra last week.
Companies shed 9700 jobs in August, the second straight monthly decline, according to figures from the Australian Bureau of Statistics.
Economists this week will also be keenly watching speeches from two senior central bank officials. RBA assistant governor
National Australia Bank will release its business confidence index for September tomorrow, while Westpac's consumer confidence gauge for October is out on Wednesday.

Donegal captain Michael Murphy used his Croke Park victory speech to single out Fermanagh's Rory Gallagher for his role in Donegal's stunning All-Ireland final success.
Murphy thanked Gallgher for his "great knowledge" of the game as the Donegal men celebrated a famous four point win over Mayo that was set up by two early goals.
Alongside Jim McGuinness, Rory Gallagher has helped transform Donegal's fortunes in under two years and they have now added the All-Ireland title to the two Ulster titles claimed in the last two years.
It is the second time Donegal have won the All-Ireland title, last claiming the title 20 years ago. Read more on this story in Thursday's Impartial Reporter.

Twyfelfontein Country Lodge
Just 4km from the historic UNESCO World Heritage Twfelfontein rock engravings is Twyfelfontein Country Lodge, built in an attractive spot at the bottom of a hill. The lodge's design has taken inspiration from the colours and shapes in the local landscape; this way, the lodge blends in with the surroundings. When we visited here in December 2015 they had just started redesigning the rooms and new bathrooms were being fitted. Unfortunately we did not see a finished room as the work had just got underway.
Continue reading our full report on Twyfelfontein C'try Lod.
Our view of Twyfelfontein C'try Lod.
Twyfelfontein Country Lodge is larger and less personal than other lodges in this area, but it is good value. Although it receives quite a few groups, it offers both good service and a warm and friendly welcome.

I have a HP ML350 G5 server running Small Business Server 2008 Premium w/ 6 internal 'bay mounted' hot-swappable 15K RPM SAS drives. I have the first 2 SAS drives running my O/S RAID array/logical drive and the remaining 4 drives running a RAID 1+0 array/logical drive for DATA. This 2nd 'DATA' array has 4x - 146 GB SAS drives with around 108 GB stored on this 273 GB array. One of the drives in my RAID 1+0 'DATA' array is reporting 'impending failures' and is being replaced.
Is there a formula, online calculator,community experience, etc to determine how long it will take to 'rebuild' this RAID 1+0 array when I unplug the 'failed' 146 GB drive and replace it with the new drive?
Keep in mind that this server which runs SBS 2008 is also running Exchange 2007, WSUS 3.0 and WSS 3.0. The SAS drive array is being controlled by an internal PCI-x model E200i controller w/ Write-Back Controller/Battery Installed/Enabled.

Though this doesn't offer up a formula, it might help some.

That's a difficult thing to calculate since the speed of the rebuild is based on the quality of controller, disk, the size of the disk and the server workload. For example, a rebuild could be faster on an idle server with a raid controller that has a fast onboard processor.
I've rarely had noticable performance problems with a RAID rebuild, but I also performed it when there was a small load like at night or over the weekend. You may choose to do the same.

Utah men's basketball coach Jim Boylen knows his team is improving. The defense is where he wants it to be, the rebounding is better and he believes the offense is coming around as well.
The frustrating part is the improvement hasn't translated to wins, an aspect that probably bothers fans more than Boylen.
"That's basketball," he said. "My job is to evaluate the team and are we getting better. Those things are stamped as correct when you win, but that is the game of life we live."
The Utes have won just two of their last seven games, but the stretch included the toughest teams in the league. Utah pushed BYU at home, lost in overtime to New Mexico and nearly had a win at San Diego State on Saturday.
That loss to the Aztecs, when the Utes briefly had the lead late but lost it in a flurry of free throws my the Aztecs and missed shots by the Utes, highlights what has to be next in the Utes' development when it comes to playing well in the most meaningful moments.
"We had opportunities to win the game and didn't take advantage of it," he said. "We made poor decisions at the end. We had a non-penetrating foul by [ Luka ] Drca that gave them the lead back. That was a mistake by a veteran player, and our ability to score, Jay Watkins had two good looks and didn't score."
The good news for the Utes is their schedule looks easier to finish the season with games against Air Force, Wyoming, BYU and Colorado State remaining.
"Our margin for error has improved some, but we still need to do everything right to put ourselves in a chance to win games," Boylen said.
Hitting a wall?
Boylen admitted he was concerned about the endurance of his center, David Foster , who is averaging 22.7 minutes, 4.8 points, 5.0 rebounds and 4.4 blocks a game.
Foster's production has fallen off in recent games. He hasn't scored in the last two games and had four blocks and four steals in 24 minutes against the Aztecs, and two blocks and three rebounds in 27 minutes against UNLV.
The Utes could try to limit his minutes to give him a respite and use Kim Tillie and Jason Washburn more.
"He has given me everything he has," Boylen said of Foster. "He has played through fatigue and injury. To me, he is the Defensive Player of the Year, it's not even close with the way he blocks shots and alters teams' offenses and his presence, but we have to watch him here down the stretch."
Anniversary date
The Utes are celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Jon M. Huntsman Center with '70s Night on Saturday when they host Wyoming at 4 p.m. The Huntsman Center hosted its first game on Dec. 1, 1969, when Utah beat Stanford 96-94. Promotions will include '70s-themed giveaways, music and a four-minute "History of the Huntsman Center" video at halftime.
Wednesday, 6:30 p.m, The Mtn.

* TSX rises 107.41 points, or 0.87 percent, to 12,414.34 * Seven of 10 main index sectors advance * Barrick, Goldcorp have biggest impact on market rise By John Tilak TORONTO, July 11 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index jumped to a 1-month high on Thursday after comments by U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke showed continued support for the Fed's stimulus program, fueling a surge in bullion prices and in gold-mining stocks. Most index sectors were up, but gold producers showed the sharpest gain, climbing 4.4 percent. Barrick Gold Corp was up 5.3 percent and Goldcorp Inc rose 4.8 percent, with the two having the biggest influence on the index's rise. Bernanke said on Wednesday the Fed must keep a stimulative monetary policy in place due to weak U.. inflation levels and a high unemployment rate. The comments buoyed global markets and took the Toronto index briefly back to positive territory for the year so far. "The market has perhaps got a little bit overexcited about what the Fed said," said Peter Westaway, chief economist at Vanguard Asset Management Ltd, a unit of Vanguard Group Inc. "I'm slightly surprised quite how much the market has taken it as a signal that policy is going to be looser for much longer." The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index was up 107.41 points, or 0.87 percent, at 12,414.34, after reaching 12,441.16, its highest in more than a month. The index gained for a fourth straight session. Seven of the 10 main sectors on the index were higher. The materials sector, which includes mining stocks, gained 3.1 percent, helped by the advances in gold-mining stocks. The bullion price rose to a near three-week high. Financials, the index's most heavily weighted sector, were up 0.3 percent. Royal Bank of Canada, the country's biggest lender, climbed 0.5 percent to C$61.53, and Bank of Montreal < BMO.TO> rose 0.7 percent to C$62.66. Energy shares were up 0.8 percent. Canadian Natural Resources Ltd advanced 2.3 percent to C$33.42, and Enbridge Inc gained 1 percent to C$45.61. Westaway said the aggressively accommodative policies that global central banks have adopted have taken markets into uncharted territory. "There's no track record for markets to fall back on. There's no playbook for policymakers to look at." "Overall, the global economy is on the mend, but there are still downside risks," he added, saying he sees a gradual stimulus rollback. "I don't think investors can sleep easy."

U.S. drone strike in Yemen kills suspected al-Qaida militants
SANAA, Yemen — A drone strike in southern Yemen killed at least nine suspected al-Qaida militants and three civilians on Saturday, authorities said, as part of America's ongoing strikes in the country against what it considers the terror network's most dangerous local group.
A Yemeni military official said the strike hit a vehicle carrying the militants in the Sawmaa area in the al-Bayda province as another car carrying civilians passed by.
A security official investigating the strike said one of the civilian survivors said the strike hit a white SUV, tossing it about 20 yards away. He said the survivor said they fled the flying debris and took shelter while "explosions" continued for another 30 minutes.
Then, the survivor said, another drone fired neared their car, killing one of his companions and wounding him.
A medical official said that the strike had killed three civilians and wounded three.
Later Saturday, Yemen's Supreme Security Council described the attack in a statement as an airstrike carried out by Yemeni authorities. It said the attack killed 10 members of al-Qaida who planned to attack "vital civilian and military institutions" in the area. It said the strike wounded one other person in the car.
The committee said three civilians died in the attack while five were wounded in the other car.
The conflicting details could not be immediately reconciled.
The United States considers Yemen's branch of al-Qaida, known as Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, to be the most dangerous in the world.
The group is blamed for a number of unsuccessful bomb plots aimed at Americans, including an attempt to bring down an airliner with an explosive hidden in the bomber's underwear.

LANCASTER - A Palmdale couple were charged on Tuesday with capital murder in the beating of the woman's 8-year-old son, who died last week.
Pearl Sinthia Fernandez, 29, and her boyfriend, Isauro Aguirre, 32, were ordered to be held without bail while they await arraignment June 11 in Lancaster Superior Court.
The murder charge includes the special circumstance allegation of murder during the commission of torture. The District Attorney's Office will decide later whether to seek the death penalty against the pair.
Los Angeles County Fire Department personnel were sent around 11 p.m. Wednesday to a residence in the 200 block of East Avenue Q-10 in response to a report that the boy, Gabriel, was not breathing, according to sheriff's Sgt. Brian Hudson.
The boy -- who had been hospitalized in critical condition since Wednesday night -- died Friday.
Investigators said he suffered a fractured skull, several broken ribs and burns.
Aguirre was questioned by detectives and allegedly "admitted to causing the injuries to the victim," Hudson said, adding two other children in the residence were taken into protective custody by the county Department of Children and Family Services.
The boy's mother allegedly admitted to being present during the assault and not doing anything to stop it, Hudson said.
Officials have said that authorities had previous contact with Fernandez over treatment of the boy. The boy's grandfather told reporters that neighbors contacted DCFS to report abuse in the home, but nothing was done.
County Supervisor Michael Antonovich has called for an investigation of all county social workers and supervisors involved in the boy's case.
"We need to know where the breakdown was in the services recommended and why this child was not removed from those living conditions," Antonovich said.
Sheriff's officials have also said they plan to investigate any contacts deputies may have had with the family.

American Express
Again, it's not a bad idea for a company to hold into some cash until it's clear the economy is on firm footing. We're there, though — American Express (AXP) needs to loosen up on the purse strings. The current AXP dividend yield is a paltry 1.2%, but it's not like the charge card outfit can't afford to spread more of the wealth now.
Oh, it hasn't always been easy to pay its shareholders. In 2009, American Express paid out 72 cents in dividends, which was nearly half of the $1.54 per share it earned that year. In 2010, the company again paid a dividend of 72 cents, out of the $3.35 it earned. AXP maintained that 72-cent dividend in 2011, despite earning $4.09. The company finally upped its dividend in 2012, but only a measly 11% — to 80 cents — even though it booked a profit of $3.89.
Not that the economy is red-hot, but after four solid years of growth and/or reliable strength, it's pretty clear American Express is doing something right; the need for the safety net is gone. Credit card debt (for better or worse) is nearly at two-year highs, and just 16% below its July 2008 peak when everyone was acting as if cash was flowing like water out of their kitchen faucet. And, the current credit-usage trend might well get us back to those heyday levels within the foreseeable future.

The grant will be used to support development and outreach for WGU Indiana, WGU Washington, and WGU Texas, as well as to launch additional state subsidiaries in the future. Western Governors University was established in 1997 by 19 U.S. governors with a mission to expand access to quality higher education. Accredited and nationally recognized, the online university now has more than 25,000 students in all 50 states. The university's four colleges, Business, Information Technology, Teachers College, and Health Professions (including Nursing), offer more than 50 accredited bachelor's and master's degrees, many with industry-specific certifications. Designed to meet the needs of working adults, WGU uses a competency-based learning model, which allows students to advance by demonstrating their knowledge and abilities, rather than accumulating credit hours. Students can take advantage of prior education and experience to move quickly through course material they already know, allowing them to focus on new learning. In addition, students may enroll at the beginning of any month and terms are six months long with no limit on the number of courses a student may complete per term. Tuition is affordable, less than $6,000 per year for most programs. For more information, go to www.wgu.edu. "College students have changed, and it's time higher education made some changes to keep up with them," said Hilary Pennington, Director of Postsecondary Success at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. "The foundation is pleased to support Western Governors University because they have a strong track record of providing a high-quality, affordable, and flexible college experience that meets the needs of today's students. In these tough economic times, it is more important than ever to support students who are juggling jobs and families while trying to make a better life for themselves."

An Advisory Committee Statement
National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI)*?
For readers interested in the PDF version, the document is available for downloading or viewing: Update on Rabiesl Vaccines (PDF document 8 Pages - 233 KB)
The National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI) provides the Public Health Agency of Canada with ongoing and timely medical, scientific, and public health advice relating to immunization. The Public Health Agency of Canada acknowledges that the advice and recommendations set out in this statement are based upon the best current available scientific knowledge and is disseminating this document for information purposes. People administering the vaccine should also be aware of the contents of the relevant product monograph(s). Recommendations for use and other information set out herein may differ from that set out in the product monograph(s) of the Canadian manufacturer(s) of the vaccine(s). Manufacturer(s) have sought approval of the vaccine(s) and provided evidence as to its safety and efficacy only when it is used in accordance with the product monographs. NACI members and liaison members conduct themselves within the context of the Public Health Agency of Canada?s Policy on Conflict of Interest, including yearly declaration of potential conflict of interest.
Since the publication of the 6th edition of the Canadian Immunization Guide(1), a new rabies vaccine (RabAvert®, Chiron Corporation) has been approved for use in Canada. While the two approved vaccines (Imovax® and RabAvert®) both protect against rabies, they differ in their composition. The recommendations in this statement focus on the new vaccine, interchange- ability of the currently approved products, and intradermal vaccine administration. They are based on currently available scientific data and the experiences of other countries. For more detailed information related to the use of rabies vaccines, the epidemiology of rabies in Canada, and use of rabies vaccine in international travellers, readers are referred to the 6th edition of the Canadian Immunization Guide, 2002(1), the Committee to Advise on Tropical Medicine and Travel (CATMAT) statement on travellers and rabies vaccine(2), and the most recent rabies surveillance report(3).
RabAvert®, manufactured by Chiron Corporation, is a sterile, freeze-dried vaccine produced by growing the fixed-virus strain Flury low egg passage (LEP) in primary cultures of chicken fibroblasts. The virus is inactivated with beta-propiolactone and processed by zonal centrifugation. It is lyophilized after the addition of buffered polygeline (processed bovine gelatin) and potassium glutamate as a stabilizer solution. The reconstituted vaccine contains polygeline, human serum albumin (< 0.3 mg), potassium glutamate, and sodium EDTA, as well as traces of bovine serum (which originates from source countries known to be free of bovine spongiform encephalopathy), chicken protein, ovalbumin (< 3 ng), neomycin, chlortetracycline, and amphotericin B. The vaccine has no preservative. Sterile diluent for RabAvert® is supplied for reconstitution. The reconstituted vaccine is a clear to slightly opaque colourless solution. The potency of one dose (1.0 mL) is at least 2.5 IU of rabies antigen. RabAvert® is approved for intramuscular use in Canada. It should be stored, protected from light, at 2oC to 8o C.
The dosage schedule for RabAvert® is similar to that of
Imovax® Rabies. For pre-exposure immunization, three 1.0 mL
doses of RabAvert® should be given intramuscularly (deltoid
muscle or the anterolateral upper thigh in infants) on days 0, 7,
and 21. For post-exposure prophylaxis of previously unimmunized
individuals, five 1.0 mL doses of RabAvert® should be given on
days 0, 3, 7, 14, and 28 by the intramuscular route (deltoid muscle
or the anterolateral upper thigh in infants), in conjunction with
rabies immune globulin (RIG) administered once on the first day
(day 0). For post-exposure prophylaxis of previously immunized
individuals, two 1.0 mL doses of RabAvert® should be given
intramuscularly (deltoid muscle or the anterolateral upper thigh in
infants) on days 0 and 3, without RIG. Readers are referred to the
Canadian Immunization Guide, 2002(1), for further
Local reactions commonly reported (i.e.> 10% of recipients) after RabAvert® administration consist of pain, tenderness, and induration at the injection site, which last for 2 to 3 days(4-6). Other local reactions, including erythema, itching, and swelling, have also been reported(5,6). Systemic reactions are generally less common (i.e. 1% to 10% of recipients) and may consist of malaise, myalgia, arthralgia, headache, and fever(7). Lymphadenopathy, nausea, and rash have been reported occasionally(5,6,8). Temporally associated neurologic and anaphylactic events have been very rarely reported following the administration of RabAvert®.
As rabies is a fatal disease, any contraindication to vaccine should be carefully re-considered before withholding post-exposure immunization. Although not contraindicated in pregnant and nursing women, it may be prudent to delay pre-exposure immunization in such women unless there is a substantial risk of exposure. Persons with a history of hypersensitivity to the vaccine or any of its components should not be given the vaccine for pre-exposure immunization. Persons with egg allergies are not necessarily at increased risk of a hypersensitivity reaction to RabAvert®. However, for pre-exposure vaccination, the vaccine should not be given to persons with a history of severe hypersensitivity reactions to egg or egg products. If an alternative vaccine is not available, post-exposure prophylaxis should be administered with strict medical monitoring. Facilities for emergency treatment of anaphylactic reaction should be available.
Corticosteroids, immunosuppressive agents, and immunosuppressive illnesses may interfere with the antibody response. Upon completion of a post-exposure course of vaccine in these populations, antibody titres should be determined to ensure that an acceptable level has been achieved(9). Antibody titre determination may also be advisable after pre-exposure immunization in these populations(1). Neutralizing antibodies develop 7 days after immunization and persist for at least 2 years. The Canadian National Reference Service for Rabies Serology considers an acceptable antibody response to be a titre of>= 0.5 IU/mL by the rapid fluorescent-focus inhibition test. Those with inadequate titres should be given a booster dose of RabAvert®.
Vaccine interchangeability should be considered when a new vaccine is approved, in situations of vaccine shortages or if an individual is immunized outside of Canada with a product not approved for use in Canada. When vaccines are examined for potential interchangeability, factors including indications for use, safety, reactogenicity, immunogenicity, and efficacy should be taken into account. Different production methods, antigen concentrations, stabilizers and preservatives, which could affect the immunogenicity, safety, or efficacy profile of the product, should be considered. In addition, immunization regimens should be equally acceptable from the perspective of safety, efficacy, and scheduling.
Both human diploid cell vaccines (HDCV) and purified chick embryo cell vaccines (PCECV) are approved for use in many other parts of the world and are used interchangeably. Of the vaccines approved for use in Canada, Imovax® is an HDCV and RabAvert® is a PCECV.
For pre-exposure, three doses of either HDCV or PCECV given over 21 to 28 days have produced protective antibodies in 100% of individuals in all age groups(9,10). Numerous studies comparing the pre-exposure immunogenic responses to PCECV and HDCV have shown both vaccines to be comparable in terms of antibody induction, and the height and persistence of antibody response(5,7,8).
Throughout the world, both HDCV and PCECV have been used effectively with RIG or equine rabies immune globulin for post-exposure prophylaxis(9). PCECV, like other cell culture vaccines, has been consistently shown to induce virus-neutralizing antibodies(10). Bijok and coauthors concluded from the results of a multi-centre trial that for post-exposure prophylaxis the vaccine is comparable to HDCV in terms of antibody induction and efficacy(6). Sehgal and coauthors found the vaccine to be effective for post-exposure prophylaxis for all age groups, with no vaccine failures, in a 10-year study in the Indian population(4). Failures are mainly attributed to failure to follow the recommended post-exposure prophylaxis protocol. There have been at least two published cases, both with severe facial bite injuries, that can be considered true treatment failures(9).
Both RabAvert® and Imovax® have been shown to be effective in boosting immunity in previously immunized individuals (both pre-exposure booster and post-exposure prophylaxis)(9). A rapid anamnestic response is obtained regardless of whether the primary vaccine is PCECV or HDCV(6-8).
Both PCECV and HDCV are comparable in terms of side effects and are well tolerated and safe. Local reactions are the most commonly reported side effect and are similar with both vaccines(5). Systemic reactions are infrequent and are also similar with both products(5,7,8). Boosters of both vaccines have been documented to be safe(7,10).
In summary, Imovax® and RabAvert® should be considered interchangeable in terms of indications for use, immunogenicity, efficacy, and safety. Readers are referred to the Canadian Immunization Guide, 2002, for further details.
While intramuscular (IM) administration of rabies vaccine is the gold standard, the World Health Organization (WHO) considers the intradermal (ID) regimen an acceptable alternative as it uses less vaccine to produce a comparable degree of protection against rabies(9,11). In a number of countries throughout the world, ID administration has become standard practice. Although not recommended by the manufacturer in Canada, ID vaccination with rabies cell culture vaccines is an economical and widely accepted alternative to IM vaccination and uses one-tenth of the IM dose.
For pre-exposure vaccination three 0.1 mL doses of rabies cell culture vaccine can be given on days 0, 7, and 21 or 28 intradermally (on the upper arm, over the deltoid). The WHO recommends that the vaccine should contain at least 2.5 IU per IM dose(1).
In Canada, cell culture rabies vaccines are supplied as a 1.0 mL dose for IM use. For ID use, the WHO recommends storage at +4oC to +8o C for up to 6 to 8 hours after reconstitution, provided proper aseptic precautions have been taken(11). PCECV has been shown to be safe and immunogenic 7 days after reconstitution in a large Thai study using clinical sterility precautions and proper storage in a clinic refrigerator(12).
With both HDCV and PCECV, Nicholson and coauthors found the neutralizing antibody titres after the 0, 7, and 21 day regimen with ID vaccinations to be lower than those with IM vaccination but adequate in terms of protection(5). Dreesen and coauthors also found the antibody levels after day 50, 92, and 365 with intradermal HDCV and PCECV to be similar to each other but lower than those after IM vaccination; this finding was not felt to affect the level of protection(8). Two years after vaccination, the antibody titres in the ID groups were similar to each other but lower than those in the IM groups; however, the level of antibodies was found to be protective in all except one subject. A 2 years ID booster produced a high anamnestic response regardless of the primary vaccination (intradermal PCECV, intradermal HDCV, and intramuscular HDCV did not differ from each other; intramuscular PCECV produced the greatest response). In one randomized controlled trial involving 138 subjects, those given ID pre-exposure vaccination had lower protective antibody levels 5 days after a simulated post-exposure booster than those given the IM pre-exposure series. However, all subjects developed adequate protective titres by day 14(13). Briggs showed that after 2 to 2.5 years, 79% of IM vs. 51% of ID vaccinees had protective antibody levels(2). According to the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, 2 years after primary pre-exposure immunization, 93% to 98% of persons who receive the series IM and 83% to 95% of those who receive the series ID will have protective antibody levels(9).
In Canada, some provinces have been using the ID route of administration for rabies pre-exposure immunization. Since 1978, 488 healthy individuals in Manitoba have received primary pre-exposure prophylaxis with three doses of 0.1 mL of human diploid cell-culture strain vaccine at 1-week intervals. The median concentration of rabies neutralizing antibody in serum 6 to 12 months after the third dose was 2.7 IU/mL; 95% had levels> 0.5 IU/mL, which the Canadian National Reference Laboratory specifies as acceptable (Greg W. Hammond, MD, and Fred Y. Aoki, MD: personal communication, March 2005).
In Ontario, ID pre-exposure rabies vaccination has been given to 100 travelers and ex-patriots since 2000. All of the 45 subjects who returned for post-immunization serology had developed adequate protective antibody titres (Ken Gamble, MD: personal communication, March 2005).
In Alberta, 39 laboratory workers and veterinarians were given ID rabies vaccines from 1983 to 1993. Post-immunization serology showed that in all except six (15%) adequate protective antibody levels developed (Workplace Health and Safety Program, Alberta/NWT Region, Animal Safety Research Institute, Lethbridge, March 2005.)
ID cell culture rabies vaccines are well tolerated and safe. ID vaccination can be given to people of all ages(11). Local side effects are mild and consist of pain, erythema, irritation, or swelling at the injection site in 13% to 92% of individuals. The most frequent side effect is local irritation, in 7% to 64% of recipients(11). Generalized adverse effects, including headache, fever, and influenza- like illness, are reported by 3% to 14% of vaccinees. Occasionally, a transient maculopapular rash and urticaria may be seen(11). Nicholson and coauthors found that PCECV given ID was less painful than given IM, but a higher incidence of local erythema, swelling, and itching was noted(5).
The ID route should not be used in all individuals. The immune response to ID vaccination in persons who are immunocompromised, or taking steroids or chloroquine has been unreliable. In these individuals vaccine should be administered by the IM route. In addition, use of choloroquine should be delayed for at least 1 month after vaccination if the ID route is used(2,11). It is also important to note that improper administration may cause the vaccine to be injected subcutaneously. In addition, a suboptimal dose of vaccine may be administered if the proper syringe and needle are not used. ID vaccines should therefore only be given by well-trained staff and when where there is a well-established cold chain, and preferably when a large group of individuals are being vaccinated at the same time. Post-immunization antibody titres should be determined to ensure that an acceptable level has been achieved. Those with inadequate titres should consult an occupational health, infectious disease or travel medicine specialist for further assessment.
NACI recommends the following:
RabAvert® is safe, effective, and well tolerated for pre-exposure immunization, including boosters, and post-exposure prophlyaxis against rabies.
The immunization series should, whenever possible, be completed with the same product. However, if this is not feasible, RabAvert® and Imovax® are considered interchangeable in terms of indications for use, immunogenicity, efficacy, and safety.
For post-exposure prophylaxis, rabies vaccine should be administered by the IM route.
While NACI considers the IM route of administration as the gold standard, consideration may be given to using the ID route of administration for pre-exposure immunization provided there is an opportunity to asses the neutralizing antibody level at least 1 month after administration, so that adequate protection can be ensured.

By Hannah Wulf
One day I was walking home for school when I heard something in the bushes moving. I looked in the bushes and there hiding behind a clump of bushes was a puppy.
I looked around to see if she belonged to anyone, but no one was around; so I took my sweatshirt from my bag, wrapped it around the puppy and carried her home.
When I got home, my mom saw the puppy, and I told her the story, and she said that we could keep her till we found the where she lived.
So I went up in the bathroom and got out some baby shampoo from when I do babysitting and started the water and felt the temperature. Then I put the puppy in the tub and washed her off. When I was done I took her out in a towel and gently brushed and blow-dried her.
When that was done, I took her in my room and took her picture. Then I made found dog signs. It turned out the dog was a yellow lab puppy, so on the poster I put the dog's breed, color and my name and number. Then I put her on a rope, and we went out and put up the flyers.
After two weeks of nobody calling, I said to my mom, "Mom I don't think anyone wants her; can we please keep her?" Mom looked at me, and then at the puppy who was right next to me, and said, "Yes." I thanked her a million times, and so did the puppy by barking.
Then we took puppy on the rope and went to the pet store. When we got there we got her a nice pink collar for now, and a bigger one for when she grew up. We also bought a huge bed, pink leash, dog food and treats. When we got to the end of the dog isle, there was a tag maker. Mom asked me what we should name her; I said "Megan." So we put Megan on first line, our number on the second, and our address on the bottom line. Then we went and checked out.
Once in the car we put on the smaller collar, and her name badge. Then took off the rope and put on her leash. When we got home, I put Megan's bed down in my room and gave her a treat.
I asked if I could go back to the store and mom said sure. So I went and got two dog bowls and a big bag of toys, and then walked back home. When I got there, I put down the bowls and fed her, and gave her water. Then I took her toys out and played with her.
Megan was now our dog and Happy as could be!

Because I Care
24 April 2013 — Clifton Heights, PA
John, nicknamed "Coog," was my husband-to-be's school-mate and best friend, and became my friend as well. I corresponded with him during the war. He was famous for atrocious handwriting and for having school papers handed back unmarked because they were so illegible. We were told he was "missing in action" at Anzio after the jeep in which he was riding hit a landmine. I believe he was an "only child," his parents must be deceased (as is my husband), and I don't know if there is anyone else to remember him. He is remembered at the World War II Museum.

Basic Facts & Information
What is a Guardianship?
Some older people cannot manage their finances or provide themselves with food and shelter. Sometimes, relatives or friends make informal arrangements to help these individuals. In other cases, a capable person has executed a durable power of attorney that appointed another person to handle his or her affairs. In still other cases, it is necessary to ask the courts to appoint a guardian, as when property must be managed or sold to pay for long-term care.
In guardianship hearings, relatives or other petitioners (eg, social service agencies or health care providers) must demonstrate that the person is no longer able to safely manage his or her affairs and needs. If the person is found incompetent or incapacitated, the court appoints a guardian.
All states allow the courts to establish limited guardianships (also called conservatorships) and unlimited guardianships (also called committeeships). A limited guardianship gives the guardian the power to take charge of a specific area that the older person is no longer able to manage (such as, finances). An unlimited guardianship strips the older person of all legal authority and gives the guardian the power to make all the decisions about the older person's life in matters that affect property, residence, medical care, and personal relationships. Most states prefer limited guardianships, because an unlimited guardianship requires that the court find that the person is legally incompetent or incapacitated in all areas of decision making.

text: Hello Mich-Listers, Just after 5:00 yesterday afternoon I saw 2 Lesser Black-backed Gulls at the north end of Lake Fenton in southern Genesee County. Virtually all of Lake Fenton is surrounded by development and I observed the gulls from the property in back of a church at the corner of North Long Lake & Torrey Rds. This spot can be reached by exiting US-23 at Thompson Rd (exit 84) and going east to Torrey Rd (the first intersection) and turning south (right). The next road is N Long Lake. If you park in the church parking lot, you can follow a walkway around the right side of the church to the property in back along the lake. In the late afternoon, gulls stream into the north end of Lake Fenton from a local landfill several miles to the north along Torrey Rd next to US-23. I guessed about 3,000 Ring-billed & Herring Gulls were resting on the lake when I got there at 5:00. A scope is a must here because of the distance. Your best alternative to the church property would be asking permission from a homeowner on the northeast side of the lake to scan from their backyard. You could try Lakeside Landing Rd off Fenton Rd and or another road between there and N Long Lake. There is a state boat launch off Grove Park Rd several miles south of N Long Lake Rd, but views would be quite distant from there. Good luck, Jeff Buecking Fenton ________________________________________________________________ Juno Platinum $9.95. Juno SpeedBand $14.95. Sign up for Juno Today at http://www.juno.com!

- Full election coverage
- Have your say on YourView election forum
- Election Live with Stephanie Peatling
Kevin Rudd stepped up to a makeshift podium made of packing crates before a cheering crowd.
"I believe in the power of the Australian people!" he cried. "I believe in the power of the Queensland people!
"Way above the media ruck, way above the avalanche of Liberal Party advertising across the television screens, way above what you will see with day after day, people telling you what the polls say here and the polls say there, I believe in the power of the Australian people."
The Prime Minister's campaign style on day 16 of his fight to retain power was a curious mix of presidential and grassroots campaigning.
Outside Nyanda State High School in the federal seat of Moreton in Brisbane – held by Graham Perrett with a narrow margin of 1.1 per cent in 2010 – about 200 locals rallied in support of their school. The school, which educates 300 children and includes special needs programs, has been identified for review by Campbell Newman's LNP government.
They gave a rousing reception to Mr Rudd, Mr Perrett and Health Minister Tanya Plibersek – who has lent her support to Mr Rudd's campaign in Brisbane for the past two days – and decried the "culture of cuts" introduced by conservative governments.
"Don't let Tony Abbott do to Australia what Campbell Newman did to Queensland," Ms Plibersek thundered to rousing applause.
Despite schools administration being a state concern, Ms Plibersek and Mr Perrett laboured their point over and over again: Campbell Newman had made cuts to education in Queensland. Jeff Kennett had closed schools and sacked teachers in Victoria. Do not trust the Opposition Leader not to do the same if he won federal government.
Team Rudd will spend Tuesday campaigning on education, after pushing hard on health on Monday. It's playing to Labor's strengths, particularly in Queensland, which has experienced the public service cuts under the Newman government (even though Team Abbott does not have the power to make wholesale cuts to state education even if it wanted to).
By the time Mr Rudd took to the stage, the crowd was in his hand, and smilingly forgave his blunder, when he said that his team was in town to make sure "that this school, which has been here for 16 years, is here for 60 years!" Oblivious to supporters in the crowd shouting that the school actually turned 60 next year, he carried on.
"Can I just say this? When I look across Queensland, I look across Australia, what I believe we need to be doing is building the schools of the future!"
No one at Nyanda would disagree with that.
''People look in the eyes of their kids and say, 'there's my future. There's what I want for this young person','' Mr Rudd said.
Turning to point first at a young girl in the crowd, Mr Rudd said: ''Listen, I want her to be a doctor.''
Then he pointed at a girl beside her saying he wanted her to be a nurse.
''I want this young boy over here to be a first-class sports star. I want this person to be a researcher in molecular science. I want this person over here to be a vet.''
As each child was anointed with their prime ministerial-chosen future profession, they visibly swelled.
Even the boy – ''that's you mate'' – who Mr Rudd wanted to become ''the best PE instructor the country's ever seen''.

Summit venue without soul
Page Tools
Brussels: In the days when Europe really was divided, kings, emperors and the odd republican upstart used to take time out from their interminable wars to meet in grand palaces. With Europe richer and less divided than ever, today's leaders shape the continent in the drab, soulless Justus Lipsius building in Brussels.
The sight of a bevy of grave-looking men with curly bits of plastic sticking out of their ears signals the arrival of one of the main leaders with a retinue of advisers for a "bilat" - Euro code for a bilateral meeting with a counterpart. But a European summit would not be true to its traditions if there was not a "table round" - Eurospeak for the formal meetings when all 25 leaders sit round a table.
Denis MacShane, Britain's Europe minister until last month, developed an aversion to the whole thing. "The food is ghastly. When you have negotiations around the table you need a television set to see anybody because they are so far away."

Finding good Spanish food in Montreal is quite tricky. There are a few solid places, but it's not as though there are a ton to choose from. Not to mention their menus tend to look like they were born from the same family– paella, chorizo, fried squid, paella, croquetas, paella…
You get the picture.
For these reasons, I was glad to hear the Spanish restaurant Pintxo was among the restaurants participating in this year's TASTE MTL. Having never been (but having heard many good things), I was eager to try this little spot, housed in a brick building on Roy Street, a couple of blocks from St-Denis. While they normally specialize in the Basque version of tapas (called pintxos), for TASTE MTL, they were showcasing a $39 menu comprised of an entrée, a main and a dessert, with two options for each.
To take advantage of the selection, my dining companion and I decided to order opposite dishes, sharing bites of each. For the starters, we had tempura oysters on the half-shell and marinated half-quail with pickled onions, braised carrots and brussel sprouts.
The oysters were both crispy and melt-in-your-mouth, served on cauliflower purée with diced lardons and micro-sprouts. The light crunch of the tempura worked perfectly with the soft interior and the creaminess of the purée. The sprouts were a welcome addition, offering a pretty splash of colour and taming the overall richness of the dish.
The quail and braised veg were a riff off a Spanish escabeche, where vinegar is used to flavour the food to give it some zing. While it leaned on the heavy side for an entrée, it was a flavourful, comforting dish.
For the mains, we had black cod with clams, green beans and mashed potatoes, and pork loin with sherry sauce, sautéed spinach and celeriac purée. The cod, both mild and beautifully cooked, was served with salsa verde, a mixture of garlic and fresh herbs that brightened up the simple flavours of the fish and added a slightly spicy hum to the whole dish.
The pork loin, also cooked to perfection, was tender and pink, coated in a peppery five-spice rub. We happily sopped up every last drop of that luscious sherry sauce that came alongside it, even breaking off a nearby piece of bread to finish off the job.
By this point (and after several sips of wine), we were feeling quite content and full. But since there's always room for dessert, we "sacrificed" ourselves and ordered both: an almond cake with maple ice cream and an apple dessert with pastry cream on top of puff pastry. While they were each delicious, I was partial to the almond cake. It was dense, warm, sweet and filled with toasted nuts– an ideal sponge for soaking up the last bit of melted ice cream on the bottom of the plate.
While Pintxo offers something a bit more upscale than the offerings at your regular tapas bar, the vibe is not the least bit pretentious. The service is friendly and the atmosphere is laid-back– it's the perfect spot for unwinding with friends after a long work week, or for an intimate dinner with your beloved. After a couple glasses of wine in the candlelight, you just might begin to forget about the cool November winds outside and start to think you're on vacation in the Basque Country…
Taste MTL runs until November 11th. Click here for more information.

Hi everyone, Whalesong 1.12 includes a few more error traps to catch misuse of web-world primitives; the major change is that using the web-world handler functions outside the lexical context of a big-bang is now illegal. So the following buggy code: (define a-view (initial-view ...)) (big-bang initial-world (initial-view a-view) ...) is now caught at compile time. The corrected code would be: (define a-view ...) (big-bang initial-world (initial-view a-view) ...) without the cut-and-paste error that introduced the duplicate use of initial-view. --- Changes: * Improved stack traces for the web-world view functions. * Improve error trapping with web-world handlers. web-world handlers can only be used in syntactic context of an enclosing big-bang.
