The German language has two different designations for the territory in which military action takes place. One is: "the field of battle"; the other, "the field of honor." Strict logic deduces from this terminology that in war "battle" and "honor" are synonymous—a verbal singularity which illuminates the staggering senselessness of war.
After the lapse of a few years, the horror of war is forgotten, Commemorations begin; the better features are remembered. The brain of man has a remarkable capacity which, considering its vital importance, is insufficiently noted: the capacity of memory to cast a romantic and amiable light on all the horrors and bitterness of the past.
Such has been the case with the war. Twenty years after the beginning of the World War, the cripples, the shrieking hand grenades, the bestial existence in the trenches, have been forgotten. Only the pallid memories of heroism, comradeliness, manliness, etch themselves in the consciousness. That is why war memorials are built.
Since 1918, war memorials have been built in every country and city of the world. In many countries eternal lights flame over the symbolic tombs of unknown soldiers. All mankind weeps before the nameless sorrow of these gravestones.
In Germany there are also many war memorials. A few weeks ago, a new memorial was unveiled in Dinslaken.
Dinslaken is on the lower Rhine, in Germany. As soon as the memorial was proposed, it was decided to chisel the names of all Dinslaken inhabitants killed in the world war, on this monument. All the citizens of the town were urged to send the names and dates of death of their relatives to the administration.
I have already mentioned that Dinslaken is in Germany. Germany is National-Socialist. Many old women, mothers who had forgotten nothing, came to the town hall in the days following the announcement. Among these old women were two Jewesses.
The Jew, Richard Strauss of Dinslaken, died December 15, 1916, on the battle-field of honor. Two Jewish brothers Rudolph and Philip Fuldauer died on March 20 and March 22, 1917, for their Fatherland.
I don't know whether these dead have sisters or brothers. I only know the names of these three Jews and the dates of their deaths; I know the name of the German city; I know that the names of a hundred dead comrades of the three Jews were chiselled on the war memorial of the town of Dinslaken. The three Jews were not among them.
The families of the three dead Jews made all the necessary appeals. They wrote finally to the German Secretary of the Interior, Dr. Frick. And Dr. Frick, National Socialist Cabinet Minister of the German State, a man who shirked active service during the war, decided that he neither could nor would do anything contrary to the decision of the town of Dinslaken.
Three dead were missing from the list on the monument.
Many will say that whether the names of the fallen were cut in stone or not, is a matter of indifference; that it is only important for the relatives and friends of the perished to cherish their memories and the teaching of their deaths. These objections have some validity. It is a matter of indifference to the dead, but what of the living?
I grant that many comments may be made on this occurrence, particularly sociological comments. I am deliberately avoiding such. I speak here only of the contribution, the sacrifice, and the appreciation which the sacrifice received. The German Reichspresident often used the following expression: "Faithfulness is the mark of honor." No man can be truer than unto death. These three Jews were true to their country.
There are a number of Jews whose eyes were shot out during the war. They were members of a large organization of those blinded in the war. They tapped their way through the streets, winding their way among men. Now the Jewish blind have been expelled from the association of the War Blind. The blind Jews still tap their way through the streets. No one touches them in Germany, unless their Jewish appearance is too striking.
An eternal light burns on the tomb of the unknown soldier. The unknown German Jewish soldiers have no tomb. Even the dead are homeless.
The blind do not speak. The three dead of Dinslaken do not speak and all others are silent.

I wanted a portable, attractive piece to keep some of Mum's hair and remains with me, along with the video tribute and other photos I treasure.
(PRWEB) April 30, 2013
Memory Vessels is proud to support the endless generosity of the ALS Association Rocky Mountain Chapter by donating a Memory Vessel keepsake to their Annual Sunset at the Ritz Fundraising Gala on Saturday, May 4th, 2013. The organization provides support to ALS victims as well as tremendous support to the families of ALS victims.
The black tie event is their annual auction to raise the funds necessary to provide the best assistance to those who have been impacted by ALS. The Sunset dinner gala at the Ritz-Carlton in downtown Denver is night of true sophistication, beginning with a cocktail reception, a silent and live auction, dinner, and lively entertainment all to raise money and the support to continue the fight against Lou Gehrig's disease.
According to the ALS Association, ALS, also known as "Lou Gehrig's Disease," is a progressive neurodegenerative disease, which affects the process in which motor neurons are received by the brain to the spinal cord and throughout the rest of the body. Without the ability to pass the neural impulses throughout the body, the motor neurons die, resulting in a loss of control over body movement.
Since there is currently no cure or treatment to correct this disease, it's increasingly important for those to come out and extend their support and help raise money for the ASL Association as they move forward into the future.
Toni Noel, owner of Memory Vessels, was inspired to create Memory Vessels when her Mother died of ALS. "I wanted a portable, attractive piece to keep some of Mum's hair and remains with me, along with the video tribute and other photos I treasure. Nothing like it existed, so I developed and created Memory Vessels to fill my need, which is shared by so many others," said Noel.
Memory Vessels provide two chambers for keeping a small amount of physical mementos like cremated remains, hair, crushed flowers, etc. Inside the keepsake, digitally recorded memories can be stored in the 2 GB USB flashdrive. The unique storage device is perfect for keeping photos and videos of loved ones safe and in one place close to the wearer's heart.
Support is extremely important and very much appreciated. Please join us on May 4th at the Ritz-Carlton, Denver or send your tax deductible contribution to ALS Association Rocky Mountain Chapter.

Samson Siasia has described the first victory of the Nigeria U-23 national team at the ongoing Rio 2016 Olympics as a miracle.
In a report by Punch Newspapers, the coach attributed the 5-4 victory over Japan to sheer miracle saying the team's performance defied science.
In his words, "I just can't describe what happened today. My boys defied science to win this game; what gave us this game was the mental toughness of the boys. For a team not to train for two days and put up this type of performance is a miracle."
Continuing, Siasia said, "When players are tired they tend to lose focus. That is why we conceded four goals. For now, all I can say is I just want to go and savour this victory with my players."
Despite a late arrival to the games, Siasia's team put up a spirited performance at their opening match to defeat the Japanese team and climb to top of Group B after Sweden and Colombia played out a 2-2 draw.
AS Roma's star, Sadiq Umar grabbed the opening goal asOghenekaro Etebo registered his name on the goal sheet with four goals to drive home the 5-4 victory over Japan.

My Merle "Top Ten" [PHOTOS]
In my not so humble opinion, there has never been a greater Country Music artist than Merle Haggard. I love Willie, I love Jones, and I could listen to George Strait all day.
But hey, there's only one Merle.
With the hundreds of great songs the man has released since the mid 1960's (and all the songs that have become country music standards), here's my Top Ten Merle songs.
10) Mama Tried – From 1968, this is classic early Merle music. The opening licks of this song are among the most identifiable in country music history. Plus it always makes me think of my mama.
9) Roots Of My Raising – In 1975 Merle had a hit with this great tune about going home. Love the recitation in this, a lost country music art. Plus we'd all like to go home if it could be like it was.
8) Daddy Frank (The Guitar Man) – Merle gave us this nugget in 1971. A great story about growing up and a family persevering despite overwhelming odds.
7) I'm A Lonesome Fugitive – Merle gave us a great glimpse into his personal life in this 1967 country standard. And what a life it's been for the Hag.
6) My Own Kind Of Hat – This 1979 hit wasn't among Merle's biggest ever, but as someone who does some writing myself, I just love the way he strung the words together.
5) Old Man From The Mountain – Sometimes you just want to crank up Merle and sing along with a nice up-tempo tune. This 1974 hit fills that bill.
4) The Farmer's Daughter – If you have a daughter you love like I do, well you'll know why this is on my list. Give it a listen.
3) That's The Way Love Goes – In 1983 Merle gave that Haggard spin to this Country Music classic. Lefty wrote it, Rodriguez topped the charts with it, but give me the Merle version anytime.
2) Mama's Hungry Eyes – From 1969, Merle at his absolute best.
1) In My Next Life – This came out in 1994 and did very little on the Country Music charts. You see, by 1994 Merle was "too old" for mainstream country music. He had been in effect kicked to the curb. If this song had been released in 1970 it would have been the song of the year. This is pure Merle. Why? Because it moves you. That's what a great song is supposed to do.
I know, I know, I know, "Okie From Muskogee" isn't even on the list. Merle's signature song. Guess that says something about how much I love Merle. If you do too, just listen to my "Mess" weekday afternoons, and you'll hear plenty!
- What do you think about my list? Do you agree? What other songs should be on the list? Post your comment below, or visit our Facebook page.

Coushatta documenting their heritage
By BRETT MARINO
Daily News Staff Writer
The Coushatta Tribe of Louisiana is experiencing a cultural revival. In reacting to the degeneration of traditional language and culture, tribal leaders and community members have reached back into the past to save the story of their heritage so that their children's children may know their history and identity.
"We will survive as a people as long as we speak the language," a recently produced Coushatta Tribe historical documentary stated. Bertney Langley, Executive Administrator for the Heritage Department, agreed with the documentary, stating the need for the Koasati Language Project.

The Serengeti Trail and Zanzibar
15.05.2010 - 30.05.2010
15 – 30th May
AFRICA! This trip was high on our priority list and a long time in the planning and, we have to wonder, how could it have been any better? Our trip was divided into two distinct parts: the first with Intrepid (the energetic part) and then a Zanzibar beach break (the relaxation part).
'The Energetic Part'
Having loved our Egypt trip we decided to use Intrepid again for our Africa trip. We did the Serengeti Trail – an eight day tour:
Our holiday started by meeting Heather and Lara (Di's Mum and sister) at Heathrow and taking an overnight flight to Nairobi, Kenya. On arrival we negotiated a taxi to take us to the hotel and having not yet even left the airport we saw out first animals, a herd of giraffes just by the airport road. After a quick coffee at the hotel we headed out to the Elephant orphanage. This was amazing, highly highly recommended if you are in Nairobi. I think the photo's below speak for themselves:
That evening we met up with our Intrepid trip leader and the rest of our group. The tour type we chose was an 'Overland' tour. An Overland tour is where you are driven around in a big truck and have to participate in preparing meals and setting up your campsite (most nights you are camping in little, 2-man, tents). It was at this meeting that we discovered that, for our tour, there was only going to be 6 of us instead of the usual 18-21. This turned out to be an amazing stroke of luck as it meant we could spread out and get to know the other couple on our tour.
The next morning we were introduced to 'our' truck and the rest of the crew. Our group comprised of Heather, Lara, Diana and I. And, Anti and Leo who were a lovely couple also living in the UK. Our crew, leader Ingwe, driver Joseph (Babu) and our cook Kababa completed the group. The group was complete and we were ready for adventure! All aboard we headed for our first destination Kisii. The picture below is of the inside of our truck. We all loved our truck:
On our way to Kisii we saw, and drove across, the Great Rift Valley, saw the first of many Maasai villages and passed lots and lots of tea and coffee plantations. The Maasai were amazing, it was just like in the pictures as many of them were dressed in their distinctive scarlet robes tending their cattle and goat herds. For lunch on this first day we pulled to the side of the road to prepare our sandwiches to the amusement of a group of local children who, I imagine, see tourists very infrequently (especially tourists in a big truck preparing their own lunch). We spent our first night in a convent and experienced, what would become legendary, Kababa's delicious soup. The picture below is of our lunch stop. If you look closely you can see the children in the background:
The next morning we started on our drive to Lake Victoria. On route we stopped at a soap carving factory where we had a tour and purchased some of our first souvenirs. It was on this drive that we crossed the border into Tanzania and it was during this border crossing that I experienced my first, proper, 'local interaction' which involved a 10-minute conversation with a local who didn't speak any English but was extremely passionate about his subject. It turned out, according to Ingwe's translation, that he was telling me about the problems he was having with some guys up the road. The pictures below are of a town we drove through on the way to Lake Victoria and the soap carving factory:
We arrived in Musoma on the shore of Lake Victoria in the early afternoon and enjoyed the sun and a walk around the local village and market. The pictures below are of lunch at the lake, Diana enjoying a drink and Lara and Diana teaching Ingwe and Joseph to play 'hacky'.
The next day we were due to head to Serengeti National Park for our first taste of safari. But first, we stopped off at the market to get supplies for the three days in the park. The pictures below are of Musoma market and of Diana and Lara in 'our truck':
We arrived at the entrance to the Serengeti National Park at lunchtime. During lunch we met some of the locals………. While preparing lunch a little Vervet monkey jumped up onto the roof of the truck which caused alarm amongst Ingwe, Babu and Kababa as they have been known to jump onto the table and steal whatever food they can. While eating lunch a large male baboon started eyeing up our lunch also and tried to use the cover of bush behind us to sneak up to the lunch table. The pictures below are of the Vervet monkeys, the guys protecting our lunch and the entrance to the park:
During our first game drive, we travelled the 120km from the entrance of the park to our campsite. During this drive we had our first experience with Tse Tse flies. These look like big house flies but with a big difference: they bite! For a good part of this first game drive we sat jandal in hand ready to swat a Tse Tse fly if it made its way into the truck. After the worst of the Tse Tse flies had passed we did see some animals: lots of zebra and wildebeest (who were in the middle of their migration North to the Maasai Mara), some giraffes and our first lion! The pictures below are of Di in action after a Tse Tse fly and the result, our first zebra, wildebeest, giraffe and lion:
That night was quite special as we celebrated Heather's (significant) birthday with a bottle of champagne around the camp fire:
The next day was our first full day of safari. The day was divided into two game drives, one in the early morning and the other in the late afternoon/early evening; making the most of the times when the animals are most active. Highlights of this day and our final game drive out of the park the following morning were:
• Our first lion up a tree – we spotted a group of lions watching a herd of gazelles. As the gazelles had quite clearly spotted the lions, the lions gave up their hunt and started wandering. We followed this group for about 30 minutes, in which time a couple of the lions got very close to the truck. One of the young male lions then jumped into a tree for relax and we watched from the truck mesmerised.
• Animals, animals everywhere:
• Eyeing up a large male lion a mere 4m away – as the day was heating up we headed toward some of the big rock outcrops ('kopjes') where the animals seek shelter from the sun. It was as we drove around one of these kopjes that we rounded a corner to find a massive male lion only 4m from the truck. We watched him sit up, stretch, pee on a tree, walk up the road a little, roar, walk back down the road and meet up with his pride who were lying in the grass nearby. Absolutely amazing!
• Seeing the migration – we were lucky that the timing of our trip coincided with the wildebeest and zebra migrating from the Serengeti to the Maasai Mara. We saw 1000's of wildebeest and zebra run past us in a long line. The black line in the picture below is a row of wildebeest:
• Getting stuck in the mud – heading for home we started to drive through an unassuming mud puddle which was a little deeper than it initially looked and we got stuck. After 15 minutes of going forwards and backwards but not making a lot of progress we got towed out by another intrepid Land Cruiser who had luckily stumbled upon us. Almost as soon as we parked up to pack away our tow cable and spade the Land Cruiser who towed us out drove into the mud puddle and proceeded to get stuck as well. After 15 minutes of another Land Cruiser trying to pull him out we re-attached our cable and repaid the favour by successfully pulling him out. It wasn't until a little later in the day that Joseph told us with a small smile that it wasn't the first time he had gotten stuck in that particular puddle!
• Cake – on our second night in the Serengeti, the guys had a little surprise for us (well mainly Heather). While we were out enjoying our game drive Kababa was slaving over a pile of coals to make Heather a delicious birthday cake. The cake was accompanied by the guys singing their own version of a local song, 'Jambo Bwana'.
• Seeing nature in action – during the wildebeest migration it is quite common for some of the wildebeest to get trampled while crossing rivers. Driving by a small watering hole we came across a group of marabou stork enjoying the remnants of just this:
• Our campsite – It was an amazing feeling, to get out of our tent in the morning, turn around, look into the long grass and wonder 'what is out there?' The first lion we saw was only a 5 minute drive from our camp:
• The leopard – If you squint your eyes, you might be able to see him lying in the tree:
These pictures are of where we exited the Serengeti:
From the Serengeti our next stop was the Olduvai Gorge, better known as the Cradle of Mankind, where some of the world's oldest humanoid skeletons were discovered. Here we had a talk by one of the local experts. The picture below is of the gorge:
That afternoon we arrived at the Ngorongoro Crater. We set up camp on the rim of the crater and for the first time during our trip we were cold. That night we had a heard of buffalo walk into our camp as we were just about to head for bed. As buffalo are quite unpredictable they are quite dangerous so we had to wait until they moved away before we went to bed. While we were waiting we had one of the game wardens, with his AK-47, sit by our fire and keep an eye on the buffalo. I am sure he thought he was making us feel safer but with the way he was waving his gun around we were all more worried about him than the buffalo! The pictures below are of the crater rim and of the buffalo (can you see them?):
The next morning we headed down into the crater for a game drive. Today we had to swap our truck for a Land Cruiser but, unfortunately, the gods didn't smile on this change of transport and it drizzled most of the day which made spotting animals difficult. The pictures below are of our Land Cruiser (the roof was put back on very soon after this photo) and the animals we saw in the crater:
That night we spent at Meserani where we had our first 'warm' shower in many days. Then, the next day we were all dropped off in Arusha and said our goodbyes to the guys and Anti and Leo. The photo below is of our group, in Arusha:
'The Relaxing Part'
From Arusha we flew to Zanzibar where we were to spend the final six nights of our holiday. Our first two nights were spent in Stonetown were we stayed at an amazing little place called Hotel Zenji. Zanzibar is quite a contrast to the mainland, it didn't really feel like we were in Africa anymore. On the first night we walked to Monsoon, a delicious seafood restaurant just set back from the water. Even though Kababa's cooking was amazing, it was quite nice to have a sit down meal at a table (including cocktails) and we didn't have to do our own dishes!
The next day we headed out and explored Stonetown from the main streets to the little alleys. Walking around Stonetown you really get a feel for its colourful past: spice trade centre, major slave trade port, explorer base and tourist destination. The pictures below are of a boat in the harbour, a fishermans catch, one of the dilapidated 'grand' buildings on the sea front, Di and Lara chatting to a local, the old fort, Heather getting into the henna, fishing boats on the beach, Tipu Tip's – a famous slave trader – front door, an alleyway and some locals playing football on the beach:
That evening we headed to Livingstone Beach Restaurant where we were treated to a traditional African dance show. On the way we passed through Forodhani Gardens where a seafood market is held every evening – with about 50-ish stalls it was quite an amazing sight. After talking with many of the self-proclaimed 'fishermen' I decided to try a Tuna skewer as an entrée prior to our dinner, which was then cooked in front of us. The skewer was delicious. The picture below is of our chosen stall and the guys that ran it:
After another delicious seafood dinner and a fun show we headed home.
The next day we went on a Spice Tour. This tour was actually very interesting. None of the spice farms specialise in a particular crop because they all grow a large range of spices to cover the risk of one crop going bad. On our tour we saw the following spices/fruit: cinnamon, banana, coffee, turmeric, vanilla, pineapple, star fruit, nutmeg, achiote, cocoa, pepper, iodine and ginger (probably more, but it is struggle to remember them all now!). We then proceeded to one of the tour guide's homes for lunch. The pictures below are of our spice guide with nutmeg, achiote, an iodine tree and the girls with their "spice gear" that some of the local boys made for them during our tour:
Next stop was the beach! Our plan for the final four days of our trip was to relax on the white sands of Kendwa beach. We stayed at Kendwa Rocks: an old reggae resort which was a laid back place and a lot of fun.
For the next four days we lay on the beach, enjoyed many a cocktail, got sunburnt, dodged the occasional shower, enjoyed our first reliable hot showers of the whole trip, ate a lot, went diving and saw a turtle, smoked shisha, read and relaxed. The pictures below are of our beach hut, the sunset on the beach, some fishing boats, sun bathing, the girls on our balcony and a dive boat (identical to ours) at Mnemba atoll:
Whew, well done if you've managed to read to the bottom of this one. Suffice to say that we all had a fabulous time and hopefully Heather had a xx-ieth birthday to remember!

Wanna keep ants as your pet? You can build an ant colony in your house with Ant Works. It requires minimal maintenance.
GadgetGuy's recommendation
Ant farms used to be the cool thing to have, back in the olden times (by which I mean the 1980s). However, it's now been updated into a space-age, blue-gel, funky looking habitat. With the optional light, this sucker just glows and looks cool. Plus, you can watch nature be natural.
gordon's recommendation
I got two of the Ant Works blue gel ant farms for my toddlers. I used to have ant farms and LOVED them. Since I was a kid, they have been updated and now use some sort of nutrient space gel for the ants to tunnel in and eat. Super cool

I saw a video on this, the ant farm looks so cool, i want one!
mwilemon's recommendation
Well it's an Antquariam. For those of you who do not mind having ants in your home (in an aquarium of course) will really love this idea. There are some children who are really into science, well heck who isn't. This kit comes with this cool aquarium, ants (specially breed in the UK, OKAY?) and some kind of gel that ants like. The antâs life lasts about 6 months, and for your pleasure they carry their dead to the top for easy disposal. An interesting gift idea for that special interesting child!

Fascinating creatures ants. Sure you hate to see them in your socks or making a B-line for that pizza crust crumb you forgot to sweep up at the local LAN party. But let's give credit where credit is due. Ants are amazing. Ants can lift up to 20x their body weight! They have two stomachs and three eyes! They also have uncanny communication skills and amazing abilities to work together to achieve a common goal.

Fascinating to watch and a cool toy to try out - the ants do all the work for you! The medium is a special gel that provides the ants with all the food and water they need. They also tunnel through it. It's amazing to see these big ants, large jaws chomping away, digging these intricate tunnels. They seem to pile the rubble up on top. You have to order the ants separately, which is a $5 adventure. Let's just say, for me, getting them in there involved several spoons, a large plastic bucket, various pieces of cardboard and paper and tremendous amounts of patience. Watch out though - these things can sting!

Odd-looking, differently-sized, small breasts--are they considered tuberous? (Photo)
Doctor Answers 2
Tuberous Breasts?
Thank you for your question.
From your photos, it looks like you have asymmetric, hypoplastic breasts with some minor components consistent with Tuberous Breasts.
Tuberous Breasts have a very narrow base and usually a long skin envelope. In the most severe cases of Tuberous Breast, a breast lift can be done through an incision around the areola, making the breast into a more rounded shape that the patient will be happy with. In many cases however, a lift is not necessary. The patient should be aware that the final result will take months to see and that they will need to be patient.
I hope this helps.

Tuberous Breasts...
You do not have tuberous breasts!
Although your breasts may be smaller than you would like, they are completely normal in appearance and don't require any treatment.
Tuberous breasts typically have:
- "Constricted breast tissue" causing a narrow shape resembling a "tube"
- Bulging of breast tissue into the under surface of the areola causing the nipple and areola to protrude like a "dome" on the breast, rather having a normal nipple/areola shape
- An areola diameter which is much larger than ideal for that breast
Your breasts have none of those qualities, so your breasts are not tuberous.
A straightforward breast augmentation, possibly with a slightly different size implant on each side, should be all it takes to give you the result you are seeking: Larger breast size and correction of your asymmetry. I would expect a very nice result!

Do you ever go shopping and you see something that you know exactly which one of your friends would like even if you did not like yourself?
Well, I think of my friend Kris when I see these boots.
She loves pointed toe boots with a taller heel and some decoration to add to the look.
This Iron Maiden Brown Boot from Penny loves Kenny can be found on Zappo's.com.
Not sure if Kris will order them or not, but I know she will like them.

Paige Miles stumbled in the Billboard No. 1 week of "American Idol" when her version of Phil Collins' "Against All Odds (Take a Look At Me Now)" was deemed beyond par. Simon Cowell told her on Tuesday, March 23 night that she was in serious trouble this week and he was right.
"It was a roller coaster of a lifetime," Paige told host Ryan Seacrest after learning her fate. "I had a lot of health issues going on out here, laryngitis ...and bad song choices, but I still had a blast, and it was a great learning experience."
Paige was bad enough that Simon did not even bother to use the Judges' Save on her. "Regardless of your singing, you're going to end up going home tonight," the judge said. "It's gotten to a point where it's not working. I don't want to give you any false hope here. It's the end."
Miles was in the bottom three along with Tim Urban and Katie Stevens. Saved from elimination, these two are entitled to join the annual Top 10 national tour which will be kicked off in summer.
Coming as the guest performers on the result night was Miley Cyrus who mentored the Top 11 this week. She sang "When I Look at You", one of the soundtracks of her latest movie "The Last Song", with the companion of grand piano. Joe Jonas and Demi Lovato took the stage later to sing their duet "Make a Wave".
Next week, the Top 10 will get R & B/Soul for theme and Usher will help them to get the groove.

Win Aung, head of a group representing Myanmar's Chambers of Commerce and Industry, has called for more Japanese businesses to invest in the Southeast Asian nation.
"Myanmar is on the right track politically and economically, and it's on the runway to take off," he said Tuesday in Tokyo in a seminar titled "Changing Myanmar: Challenges and Opportunities."
"There are abundant opportunities, and we are sure it will be beneficial to investors," he said.
Win Aung noted Japan ranks 12th in foreign investment in Myanmar, accounting for 0.53 percent of the total amount.
China makes up 34.27 percent, followed by Thailand's 23.51 percent, he said. The U.S. is ninth with 0.60 percent.
In April, Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda told visiting Myanmar President Thein Sein in Tokyo that Japan would forgive about ¥300 billion of Myanmar's debts and resume low-interest, long-term development loans to the once-isolated country.
The resumption of Japanese aid followed historic by-elections earlier in April that saw democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi elected to Parliament.
Tin Htut Oo, who has been tapped as chairman of Myanmar's National Economic and Social Advisory Council, also discussed the improving situation in his country.
"Change in Myanmar is irreversible," he said. "Ongoing reform measures, with the institution of several new laws and regulations to promote the private sector, foreign investment and to expand exports, have been changing many facets of the Myanmar economy.
"Renewed focus on rural development and poverty reduction is encouraging, and we aim to lower the poverty rate to 16 percent by 2015 from the current 26 percent," he added.
The seminar was cohosted by the Asian Development Bank Institute and the Japan Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

|Feasibility Test of a Handset Device to Detect Sedation Levels and Loss of Consciousness During Propofol Administration
|Brief Summary
|Sedation is often administered to relieve anxiety and discomfort during uncomfortable procedures in elderly patients. Patient control of sedation offers many potential benefits for patients and healthcare professionals, including improved safety and patient satisfaction. The investigators overall goal is to develop a patient controlled intravenous sedation system that is effective but very safe for the patient, and requires minimal supervision by a doctor or nurse. To fulfill these criteria, a sedation system should incorporate fail-safe safety mechanisms. A key safety-critical component is a method of objectively assessing the degree of sedation of the patient, and of preventing him from self-administering unsafe doses of the sedative drug. The investigators have designed a new sedation system that uses a measure of the speed of response of the patient to a defined non-noxious stimulus to determine whether or not it is safe to allow him to self-administer further levels of sedation. Before being able to execute a volunteer study in order to determine a rational selection of optimal threshold response time, a feasibility test on the handset device is required.

Jun 1, 2012 - Dee Reed, RivertonEditor:
In regard to our Riverton Senior Citizens Center, I feel it is time to air some positive comments in rebuttal for the recent negative comments made by a small, disgruntled faction of persons.
I do believe our wonderful and well-run senior center is the best one I've ever been to. First, I'd like to say that all employees, volunteers and board members are professional, highly competent, helpful and friendly.
Second, we are offered the following services at our center:
1. Excellent and low-priced food at breakfast and lunch, with friendly service by kitchen staff and dining room volunteers;
2. Monthly dinner dances;
3. Monthly outings on the bus to different Wyoming places of interest;
4. Medical equipment rentals;
5. Fully equipped exercise room;
6. Pool table and bingo;
7. Classes for computers, exercise, crafts, painting and miscellaneous others;
8. Library;
9. Speakers for medical and financial topics, advocates for seniors, and income tax assistance;
10. A new greenhouse;
11. Meeting rooms;
12 gift shop;
13. Finally, a beautiful multi-purpose reception room for rent, where we actually held our wedding reception.
If there are people who still continues to find fault with out great center, why don't the come to work as volunteers to help make it better?

Parkston set to compete at The Clash in Rochester
PARKSTON — The Parkston Trojans wrestling team will once again make history as it hits the mat today in Rochester, Minn.
The 2013-14 wrestling squad is the first team in school history to compete at The Clash, one of the nation's biggest wrestling tournaments.
"We are going to see some of the best teams in the nation," Parkston head coach Jared Digmann said. "We want to wrestle that type of competition. I think that type of competition is what makes you better and I think we can compete with some of the top teams."
The Trojans are coming off a 2012-13 wrestling season, which saw them claim the Class B state title in record fashion. Parkston set the scoring mark at the state tournament by racking up 164 points, beating the previous record of 157.
The Trojans also had 13 state qualifiers, including state champions Brady Reiff and Blake Bietz.
Reiff, a junior, and Bietz, a freshman, both returned to the Parkston lineup along with 10 other state qualifiers.
With its experienced lineup, the Parkston wrestling team's success has continued this season. The Trojans have won every tournament and dual they have competed in so far.
Parkston's résumé includes wins at the Creighton Invite in Creighton, Neb., Howard Invite, Elk Point-Jefferson Husky Invite and Floyd Farrand Invitational in Sioux Falls.
Things will be a little bit more challenging at The Clash and if the Trojans are to win it, they must go through teams from Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota, Ohio, Nebraska, Illinois, New Jersey, Wisconsin, Missouri, California and Alabama.
"This is the biggest tournament we have ever competed in," Digmann said. "This is probably the best dual tournament in the nation. The whole reason we got in it is to challenge ourselves and find that tough competition."
The Trojans' first matchup is against Bettendorf High School (Iowa). According to intermatwrestle.com, Bettendorf is the 32nd best wrestling team in the country at the high school level. Bettendorf also has the nation's No. 2-ranked 138-pounder in Fredy Stroker.
If Parkston can knockoff Bettendorf, waiting for them in the next round could be Totino Grace (Minn.).
Former Mitchell High School wrestler Matt Everson is an assistant coach at Totino Grace, which is home to the nation's top 195-pounder Lance Benick.
Parkston wrestled against Totino Grace last year at the Jerry Opbroek Invitational in Mitchell. In that tournament, the Trojans finished second to Pierre, being the only tournament Parkston didn't win all season.
"I am extremely proud of Parkston," said Everson, who wrestled at the University of Minnesota. "This is a great opportunity for them. I am really hoping for the chance to wrestle Parkston. "I think it will be a lot of fun to dual a South Dakota team."
The Clash kicks off at 9 a.m. today and ends Saturday.

Rescue helicopter disappears in storm-battered area of Mexico
ACAPULCO, Mexico — Mexican soldiers dug through tons of mud and dirt on Friday in their continuing search for landslide victims, as authorities looked for a federal police helicopter that disappeared while carrying out relief operations on the flood-stricken Pacific coast.
The helicopter with three crew members on board was returning from the remote mountain village of La Pintada, where the mudslide occurred, when it vanished on Thursday. There is still no sign of it, said Interior Secretary Miguel Angel Osorio Chong.
"They risked their lives all the time," Osorio Chong said. "We are truly worried."
Search efforts continued in the town north of Acapulco, where 68 people were reported missing from Monday's slide. Two bodies have been recovered, but it was unclear if they were among those on the list of missing.
Federal police have been helping move emergency supplies and aid victims of heavy flooding caused by Tropical Storm Manuel, which washed out bridges and collapsed highways throughout the area, cutting Acapulco off by land and stranding thousands of tourists.
The country's Transportation Department said Friday that a patchwork connection of roads leading to Mexico City had been partially reopened around midday Friday. Part of the main toll highway, however, remain blocked by collapsed tunnels and mudslides, so drivers were being shunted to a smaller non-toll highway that is in better shape on some stretches.
Yet so badly damaged was that route that traffic was allowed through only in small groups escorted by federal police, and in only one direction: outward bound from Acapulco.
Thousands of cars, trucks and buses lined up at the edge of Acapulco, waiting to get out of the flood- and shortage-stricken city.
"We're a little calmer now. We've spent six days stranded, waiting to get out," said Armando Herrera, a tourist from Mexico state, outside of Mexico City, as he waited in his car to be allowed on to the newly reopened road.
Survivors of the La Pintada landslide staying at a shelter in Acapulco recounted how a tidal wave of dirt, rocks and trees exploded off the hill, sweeping through the center of town, burying families in their homes and dumping wooden houses into the bed of the swollen river that winds past the village on its way to the Pacific.
"Everyone who could ran into the coffee fields. It smothered the homes and sent them into the river. Half the homes in town were smothered and buried," said Marta Alvarez, a 22-year-old homemaker who was cooking with her 2-year-old son, two brothers and parents when the landslide erupted.
La Pintada was the scene of the single greatest tragedy in the twin paths of destruction wreaked by Manuel and Hurricane Ingrid, which simultaneously pounded both of Mexico's coasts over the weekend, spawning huge floods and landslides across hundreds of miles of coastal and inland areas.

Reviews for Sun-Dried Tomato Cheese Balls
Average Rating
"Very tasty Recipe. I did make as directed and made small balls. I used a Tsp as a measure. Next time I'd make one large ball. Recipe can easily be halved.Chilled Cheese before forming. Less fat cream cheese would work very well."
"These are awesome. Instead of small balls, I make one big one and serve it with crackers. A crowd pleaser"
"Delicious!!! I divided the mixture in half and made two medium cheese balls instead of 1-1/4-inch cheese balls."
"bacon gives it a nice touch."
"I usually make this as one cheese ball; use a mixer to beat the cream cheese add remaining ingrediants then finely chop the bacon and roll the ball in the bacon to cover the ball."

Release a DVD of the Sideshow
To whom this may concern, For many Australians, the highlight of a Saturday night used to be sitting down in front of the TV to watch the brilliant array of talent on the Sideshow. Since the ABC decided to not renew this fantastic show, many were deprived of the chance to watch Australian music, new comedy, and new cabaret acts, many of whom were'nt well-known or would otherwise get little to no TV exposure. There are many fans of Paul McDermott, Claire Hooper, Flacco, Tripod, the Umbilical Brothers and Cameron Bruce and the band, and while some have secured roles on current TV programs, the performances on the Sideshow shall never be seen again unless a DVD is available for all to purchase. While it has made way for other comedies, some of the acts on the Sideshow may never be seen again on Australian TV, and the program should not be forgotten and pushed aside completely. We, the undersigned, believe the Sideshow was a great success and quality television, bringing fun and happiness to many, and should be available for many more to see. We ask you to release a DVD of the Sideshow for us to purchase.

A Carleton gundog handler was in the winning team at one of the world's most prestigious gundog competitions, the Kennel Club Gundog Working Test, held at the Chatsworth estate in Derbyshire.
John Halsted and fellow UK team members Richard Johnston, Andrew Fisher and Stan Payne, with their dogs, three Labradors and a Golden Retriever, scooped first place in the International Retriever Team Event.
They impressed the judges with their retrieval ability, both on land and in water.
John's team beat off competition from some of the world's most talented gundogs and handlers from Switzerland, Germany, Ireland, Denmark, Norway, Italy and the Netherlands.
Kennel Club secretary Caroline Kisko said: "John should be very proud of his team's achievement. They all worked fabulously and triumphed over some stiff competition.
"The Kennel Club Gundog Working Tests showcase many of the world's most talented gundogs and handlers, and it is encouraging to see so many different countries coming together to show off their abilities and the wonderful relationships they have with their dogs in the International Retriever Team Event.
"We hope John's triumph will encourage other people in the Skipton area to get involved in the many fun working gundog activities on offer, which are all about putting a dog's natural instincts to good use to work for their handlers. We wish John continued success in the sport."
John was handling a Labrador, already a field trial champion, which is owned by Lady C Carter and has the Kennel Club-registered name of Asterix Aguzannis of Chatsworth.

Dairy Queen makes a 'smoothie' move
In a merger of two iconic brands, the Dairy Queen system is rolling out Orange Julius smoothies and Orange Julius original drinks to DQ locations including DQ Grill and Chill Orange Julius at 1701 South Broadway in Alexandria.
"We have essentially created a smoothie shop within a DQ store," said Craig and Alesia Hillman of the Alexandria location. "We are offering an assortment of fruit choices, variety and convenience to customers who want a quick snack or a treat at any time of the day."
Customers have a choice between Orange Julius smoothies and drinks. Smoothies are made with real fruit, low-fat yogurt, and are blended fresh. Flavors include strawberry, strawberry banana, triple berry, mango pineapple and orange. Also available is the original Orange Julius flavor of orange.
The Dairy Queen system acquired the Orange Julius concept in 1987, but the brand has been around for more than 85 years. For more information about the Dairy Queen system, visit DairyQueen.com.

For being its in-state neighbor, ESPN should be able to point UConn out on a map with its eyes closed.
As pointed out by Cincinnati Bearcat fan @Bri_Hen, the college basketball minds over in Bristol, Conn., posted a map of The American Athletic Conference and placed the University of Connecticut in the middle of Massachusetts.
Check out the image below, which has since been removed.
That wasn't the only gaffe, as pointed out by Yahoo! Sports' Dr. Saturday:
"Temple is in Philadelphia, not somewhere between Reading and Pottsville. Cincinnati is directly on the Kentucky state line, not in…I guess that's pretty close to Columbus? Regardless, next time just plunk the Bearcats right there at the top of the Bluegrass State. Memphis is on the Mississippi/Tennessee state line, all the way at the southern end of the state."

We all run into the issue when it's your only day off and you'd rather lie in bed and watch Netflix all day than scratch off as many tasks as you can from that to-do list. Instead of letting that list pile up, get up and get ready! Starting early means ending early and the perfect night of Netflix to yourself, so it's a win-win. While getting dressed you want to choose something as freeing as possible because of all the running around you'll be doing. What's more freeing than a skirt?
Mix leather and lace like this Fashionista. Two of the latest trends can get you to where you're going fast. Leather, studded boots are perfect for the winter paired with your most unique tights and colorful socks. I loved how she mixed the pattern of her tights with the pattern of her white lace skirt. They were completely different, but worked well together and gave it more of a winter vibe. Those lace skirts do not have to sit in your closet all season, ladies!
Looking effortlessly cool and casual, she combined her favorite pieces into one ensemble. Carrying a big bag is great option if you'll be buying things at the store. Instead of carrying a million bags you can just throw those items into one after paying.
One Simple Change: If it's a snowy or rainy day, add a winter jacket to stay covered. You don't want to have to run more errands to buy cold medicine.

Johannesburg -
Members of a syndicate that carried out daring robberies at nine SA Post Office branches around Joburg have been convicted for their R2 million fraudulent activities.
Mostly branch managers and tellers at Ekurhuleni and the East Rand post offices, the gang would clone IDs and use them to open savings accounts that were used to channel huge amounts of cash from post office coffers.
In June 2008, four accounts were credited with R80 000 each from the Boksburg North post office, while the fifth bogus account was credited with R20 000 on the same day .
On that day, a gang of non-post office employees armed with knives and guns pounced on post office staff, holding them hostage by locking them in a safe after taking their cellphones and cash from their tills.
Once staff members were out of sight, colleagues who were members of the syndicate would come in, take over the tills and manipulate the system to indicate that people whose names the accounts were opened in had deposited money into their Postbank accounts.
Syndicate members not employed by the post office would take IDs bearing their pictures but other people's details and approach Postbank to withdraw the money – ensuring that tellers behind the tills were members of the syndicates so that their identities were not scrutinised.
The biggest transaction was made in July 2008, when syndicate members transferred R1.2m into five Postbank accounts in Pretoria.
Also affected were Riverfield and Daveyton post offices in Springs, Ebony Park and Tembisa in Kempton Park, Reiger Park in Boksburg, Khumalo post office in Alberton and the one at OR Tambo International Airport.
Now, four years after post office forensic investigators launched a probe, six employees faced the guilty verdict.
Johannesburg High Court Judge George Maluleke found that Onasis Maxam, former branch manager at Tembisa South post office, had been the ringleader, convicting him on 48 charges including fraud, racketeering, aggravated robbery and possessing a firearm and ammunition illegally. Reiger Park manager Lesiba James Marakalala was convicted on 36 charges, teller Malesela Donald Ledwaba on 15, and Funeka Felicia Ndlela and Jabulile Tracy Molotsane on 32 charges. Maphuti Francinah Pitjeng, a teller at the airport, was convicted on 35 charges, and Bongani Nkosi, who was not employed by the SA Post Office, on 37. Branch manager Fanie Andries Mahlangu and Lawrence Kepe Nkomoje have since died.
Sentencing procedures will start next week.

Arnold drug buy produces $30,000 marijuana bust
A Wednesday morning drug buy along an Arnold street led state Attorney General drug agents and police to about $30,000 of marijuana in a New Kensington's man car and house, authorities said.
Darob D. Wright, 28, of 1337 Victoria Ave., New Kensington, is facing a drug-delivery charge, said Nils Frederickson, a spokesman for Attorney General Tom Corbett.
As a result of the drug buy, Frederickson said agents found about three pounds of marijuana inside Wright's car.
Based on that find, agents got a search warrant and, with the help of the New Kensington special weapons team, entered Wright's house without incident at about 1 p.m.
There they found at least seven more pounds of marijuana, according to authorities.
If convicted, Wright would be facing a three-year minimum mandatory sentence because he is charged with having more than 10 pounds of marijuana, the AG spokesman said. That includes what police said Wright had in his car and in his residence.
Wright was arraigned by District Judge Frank J. Pallone and ordered sent to the Westmoreland County jail in lieu of $50,000 bond. A preliminary hearing is tentatively set for April 15.
"We are seeing larger-scale marijuana cases all over your region and across the state and, of course, other drugs," Frederickson said from Harrisburg. "Yet there are some efforts to cut the funding for the drug task forces,
"In Berks County, we recently found a tractor trailer with 300 pounds of marijuana in it," he said.
Frederickson couldn't say if the marijuana has a tie to a New Kensington women who was found with about 250 pounds of marijuana in a van stopped in Mississippi or a Harrison woman who was found with five pounds of marijuana in the trunk of her car last year.
The AG's office is continuing to investigate the case and additional charges are possible, he said.

DURHAM, NC, September 11, 2013 – Chimerix, Inc. (NASDAQ: CMRX), a biopharmaceutical company developing novel, oral antivirals in areas of high unmet medical need, today announced the results from its exploratory Phase 2 Study 202 evaluating brincidofovir (CMX001) in hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) recipients with early adenovirus (AdV) infection. Study 202 was the first trial of an antiviral agent in AdV infection. Brincidofovir (CMX001) is an investigational oral nucleotide analog lipid-conjugate that has demonstrated activity against all pathogenic families of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) viruses, including herpesviruses, adenoviruses, and polyomaviruses.
Michael Grimley, MD, Associate Professor of Clinical Pediatrics in the Division of Bone Marrow Transplant and Immune Deficiency at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, and the lead investigator in Chimerix's Phase 2 AdV study, presented the trial results during the "Viral Infections in Immunosuppressed Hosts" session at the 53rd Annual Interscience Conference on Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy (ICAAC) meeting on September 10, 2013 in Denver, CO.
"These data strongly support the continued development of CMX001 as a global prevention for dsDNA viruses, a leading cause of non-relapse mortality in the months following a transplant," said Dr. Grimley.
Although AdV in HCT recipients has been recognized as a severe and often-fatal infection in pediatric and adult patients who have undergone recent HCT, there are no approved antiviral treatments. Potential risk factors associated with an increased risk of rapid progression to AdV infection have been identified in the scientific literature, but the frequency of AdV in the blood or AdV disease was unknown prior to this trial. Early data from patients who had received CMX001 for AdV infection through Emergency Investigational New Drug (EIND) regulations had provided anecdotal evidence of improved outcomes compared with historic data. This exploratory Phase 2 trial was designed to initiate CMX001 or placebo during early AdV infection, prior to symptomatic disease, and to evaluate the potential to decrease AdV viral load or prevent progression to AdV disease.
Results: Safety and tolerability data from this 48-subject trial confirmed the lack of hematologic and renal toxicity for once-weekly (QW) or twice-weekly (BIW) CMX001 dosed for 6-12 weeks, and showed the successful implementation of the Safety Monitoring and Management Plan (SMMP) to address gastrointestinal side effects reported in earlier trials. Temporary dose interruptions for grade 3 diarrhea were successfully utilized in the trial, with one permanent discontinuation for diarrhea in the CMX001 QW cohort. Three additional discontinuations in the trial were reported for abdominal pain (CMX001 BIW cohort), lower GI hemorrhage (CMX001 BIW cohort), and severe rash (placebo cohort). No new serious safety issues were identified in this trial, and no changes were necessary in the safety monitoring in the recently initiated Phase 3 SUPPRESS trial for prevention of CMV.
Efficacy outcomes for Study 202 were progression to possible or probable AdV disease or significant changes in AdV viremia. Although statistical significance was not achieved, numerical benefit was demonstrated for CMX001 100 mg BIW for multiple endpoints:
Adenovirus in the blood was chosen as a potential early indicator of AdV disease based on the accepted clinical utility of viremia as an early trigger for initiation of antiviral therapy for CMV in these patients. Results from this study bring into question whether AdV viremia is an indicator of early AdV disease. For low-level AdV viremia (< 3.0 log10 copies/mL), a significant proportion of subjects spontaneously cleared viremia prior to initiation of therapy or during placebo therapy. These data indicate that low level AdV viremia may be a transient phenomenon in some subjects. In contrast, high level AdV viremia (> 3.0 log10 copies/mL) at screening was often associated with rapid development of symptoms and end-organ disease even before therapy could be started. Further research is needed to identify clinical indicators of early AdV disease which could be used for early intervention, but prevention of AdV continues to be the preferred strategy through which diseases caused by dsDNA viruses can be avoided.
"The acceptable safety and tolerability of CMX001, and successful incorporation of the Safety Monitoring and Management Plan in this study, were important milestones for the brincidofovir program as we initiate dosing in the Phase 3 SUPPRESS trial for CMV prevention in HCT recipients," said M. Michelle Berrey, MD, MPH, Chief Medical Officer of Chimerix. "Additionally, consistent trends toward decreased progression of AdV disease and a decrease in overall mortality for subjects randomized to CMX001 BIW reaffirm our belief that earlier intervention in viral disease is the preferred strategy to decrease morbidity and mortality from AdV and other dsDNA viral diseases. Ultimately, we believe that broad use of CMX001 as a prevention for CMV, AdV, and other viral diseases that impact immunocompromised patients will prove to be the best approach."
Summary of CMX001 Study 202 Results Presented at ICAAC
CMX001 BIW initiated at the time of detection of AdV viremia showed potential clinical benefit in reducing progression to AdV disease and all-cause mortality. Subset analyses of disease progression and all-cause mortality were consistent in trends favoring the CMX001 BIW regimen over placebo or CMX001 QW. A greater proportion of subjects randomized to CMX001 BIW achieved undetectable levels of AdV viremia during randomized therapy and a lower proportion of subjects on the BIW regimen progressed to symptomatic disease compared to placebo or CMX001 QW.
CMX001 Study 202 Design
Study 202 was a randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled proof-of-concept trial assessing the use of CMX001 as a preemptive therapy for AdV infection. HCT recipients were randomized into the study upon appearance of detectable AdV viremia but before the appearance of symptoms of AdV disease. Subjects were randomized to one of three dosing regimens: CMX001 BIW, CMX001 QW or placebo. Forty-eight pediatric and adult subjects were randomized into the trial beginning in June 2011.
The design of the study was based on the limited information available on the natural history of AdV infection in immunocompromised subjects, preliminary and uncontrolled data available on the activity of CMX001 against AdV, ethical considerations due to the placebo-controlled design and high mortality associated with AdV disease in HCT recipients and epidemiologic data indicating a low incidence of AdV viremia in subjects post-HCT.
About Brincidofovir (CMX001)
Brincidofovir is an investigational oral nucleotide analog lipid-conjugate that has shown broad-spectrum antiviral activity against all five families of dsDNA viruses that affect humans, including herpesviruses such as CMV, adenoviruses, polyomaviruses such as BKV, papillomaviruses, and orthopoxviruses. Brincidofovir has a favorable safety and tolerability profile, with no evidence of kidney or bone marrow toxicity in over 900 patients dosed with brincidofovir for prevention, preemptive therapy, or treatment of dsDNA viruses that cause disease in humans.
In a Phase 2 trial of 230 HCT recipients, brincidofovir demonstrated potential clinical utility in prevention of CMV infection. In this same CMV trial, brincidofovir-treated subjects had improvements in kidney function and hematuria (blood in the urine) when compared to placebo-treated subjects, suggesting that brincidofovir may reduce BKV-associated bladder and renal damage.
On September 9, 2013, Chimerix announced the initiation of its Phase 3 SUPPRESS trial evaluating 100mg CMX001 BIW for the prevention of CMV in HCT recipients.
About Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation (HCT)
HCT is a medical procedure performed most frequently for hematology and oncology indications to treat patients with certain cancers of the blood and bone marrow, such as multiple myeloma or leukemia, or genetic diseases. For these patients, replacement of the blood forming system is the best therapeutic alternative. Because of chemotherapy and immunosuppressants that are used before, during and after the procedure, patients are highly susceptible to viral, bacterial and fungal infections and associated complications related to the chemotherapy and immunosuppression. These post-transplant complications are a significant cause of morbidities and mortalities following the procedure.
About Chimerix
Chimerix, a biopharmaceutical company based in Durham, NC, is committed to the discovery, development and commercialization of novel, oral antiviral therapeutics designed to transform patient care in areas of high unmet medical need. Chimerix's proprietary lipid technology has given rise to two clinical-stage nucleotide analog lipid-conjugates, brincidofovir (CMX001) and CMX157, which have demonstrated the potential for enhanced activity and safety in convenient, orally administered dosing regimens. Brincidofovir has shown broad-spectrum activity against dsDNA viruses, including herpesviruses, adenoviruses and polyomaviruses. On September 9, 2013, Chimerix announced the initiation of its Phase 3 SUPPRESS trial evaluating 100mg CMX001 BIW for the prevention of CMV in HCT recipients. Chimerix's second product candidate, CMX157, an oral nucleotide analog for the treatment of HIV infection, was licensed to Merck in July 2012.

Great Time with Great People: MSC Poesia Cruise Review by unfdoug
Overall Member Rating
Great Time with Great People
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)
We stayed at the Hilton Garden and where we parked our car and got shuttle service to and from the pier ($8 each way). The hotel was nice. Very crowded.
Embarkation: After reading countless reviews of what this cruise line was like, I was skeptical and went to embarkation expecting the worst. Turns out, I was wrong. From curbside to walking on the ship was 15 minutes (and I didn't even complete the online check-in).
Staterooms: The first thing we did was go right to our stateroom. We had a balcony room on deck 11, two twin beds, sitting couch and there was adequate space. The rooms had maroon decor with a big mirror at the foot of the bed. The balcony had two chairs on it and a little table. The bathroom felt a little bigger than some of the standard cruise lines (or maybe it was just the More lay out).
Public Areas: There were plenty of public areas around the ship, all with plenty of space. Aside from the main theater, the Zebra lounge and the pool areas also hosted a lot of the activities. The dance club on deck 14 also seemed to be a hot spot as well. The ship decor was absolutely gorgeous. You could tell there was a lot of time and money put into decorating.
Staff: Kind of a mixed bag here. A lot of the staff seemed unhappy and a lot of the staff seemed very positive and upbeat (Indonesian crew). Our table server, asst. server and cabin steward were all awesome. Anything we needed or wanted, they were spot on.
Food: I know this is a hot button topic for this cruise line but to be honest, I didn't have one bad meal. Yes, the food was a little bland but it's nothing that the salt shakers on the table couldn't fix. Just a couple of things I had in the main dining room: Prime Rib, Lobster, Ribeye, Seabass, and Spaghetti. The beer and wine service was really fast and they tried their best to keep your water/tea glass filled up. I noticed the servers had quite a few tables, so at times things were a little slow. It didn't bother me, that's why you're at sea, to escape the hustle and bustle. Our table mates were awesome!
Entertainment: There was a melting pot of entertainment aboard the ship. Opera's, cirque style shows, Broadway tribute, singing and dancing. There was also karaoke around the ship, a disco, a string band in the atrium (on deck 5) and a lot of poolside music. There was an American activities director on board who kept things flowing and a great entertainment staff. The animation team was a group of kids in their 20's that kept the crowd dancing, singing, doing trivia and kept everyone on their toes. They did a great job, were mostly Italian but spoke great English. Don't expect to be geared up on the activities around the ship.
Disembarkation: Again, the reviews I read made me ready to go through complete hell but it was totally opposite. We did self assist disembarkation and from the time we left the stateroom to actually being on the pier waiting for our shuttle was 30 minutes max.
In closing, this cruise is for you if: you want to experience European culture, an appreciate a beautiful ship and aren't expecting to be geared up the whole cruise.
This cruise isn't for you if: you only want to hear announcements in English (they do give a majority of the announcements in five languages), if you want to be waited on hand and foot or if you are not patient. Less
