Attending physicians, regardless of their specialty or setting of practice, may suspect or learn that their patient has been attacked with a biological agent. In such cases, it is important to be aware of the interactions that may occur with law enforcement, and of the role that the evolving science of microbial forensics [1] may play in the investigation. Physicians are in key positions to preserve critical evidence and, thereby, contribute to the chain of custody, and, at the same time, offer suggestions to help develop the field of microbial forensics.
This article provides guidance to physicians who believe that one of their patients is a victim of an act of bioterrorism or of another biocrime, and who are compelled by law, or with the patient's consent, wish to assist law enforcement in an investigation. In this regard, there are instructive lessons that can be learned from cases of past biocrimes and from analogies to more familiar cases of sexual assault and child abuse (Table 1).
Table 1. Comparison of Biocrimes, Sexual Assaults, and Child Abuse in the US
Recent Biocrimes
The most widely publicized bioterrorism event in the United States was the US anthrax mail attacks of 2001. In this case, an astute physician diagnosed the index case of systemic anthrax [2] that set off national panic and a federal investigation that is still ongoing. Highly publicized in Europe was the assassination of a Bulgarian exile in London using ricin, a toxin extracted from castor beans, [3,4] which was delivered to him using an umbrella. Less publicized are other biocrimes such as the case of a laboratory worker in Texas intentionally infecting hospital co-workers with Shigella dysenteriae. Biocrimes are much less likely to occur than many infectious diseases, such as HIV/AIDS. In fact, it is often the abundance of naturally occurring infections that may make the detection of a biocrime difficult. However, there are also documented cases of non-bioterrorism biocrimes (Box 1) [5,6], which far exceed the number of documented bioterrorism acts, as well as many hoaxes where physicians and clinical laboratories were involved in determining if there was a real threat to exposed individuals.
Box 1. Examples of Non-Bioterror Biocrimes
- Intentional Salmonella typhi food contamination in France from 1910 to1918
- A Yersinia pestis attack by injection in 1933 in India
- Deliberate use of HIV-infected blood and secretions to inflict harm

A biocrime is similar to an assault crime, except, instead of a gun or knife, the weapon is a pathogen or a toxin. In the US, acts of bioterrorism are federal crimes that are governed by different responses by law enforcement and public health agencies than those that govern other biocrimes [7]. Most biocrimes and their subset of bioterrorism cases will involve public health agencies because of the nature of a disease threat to the public.
The numerous hoaxes that are biocrimes include white powders found in letters that proclaim the presence of anthrax, and threatening notes claiming ricin contamination of baby food. Ricin currently appears to be a prevalent bioweapon, particularly as a tool for extortion. These potential ricin threats demonstrate the impact of bioterrorism on patient care: physicians had to monitor patients who might have ingested the poisoned food and, hence, were distracted from caring for other patients [8]. Hoaxes can be challenging for the physician, who must distinguish between symptoms and signs that could be toxin-related and those that are just variants of normal health. This challenge was compounded in a recent case where there were trace findings of an inactive form of ricin in baby food. Nonetheless, a hoax is also a crime, and the physician should not discard any evidence simply because material appears innocuous.
As environmental biothreat sensors expand into the workplace and public places, they will be relied on as sentinels for possible biothreat releases. In the US, sensors for anthrax are being placed in some postal offices and at some major public events, and air monitoring is being carried out in major cities and transit systems (the BioWatch system). When such sensors indicate a possible bioterrorist attack, even if the signal is later found to be a false signal, the public will react, and are likely to seek out their own physicians for medical diagnostics, therapy, and advice. Potential cases that follow a public alert warrant evaluation, collection of patient samples, and possibly institution of prophylactic treatments until an alert is deemed a false alarm. Such a situation occurred in March 2005 following a presumptive positive detection of anthrax in a US Department of Defense mailroom. This situation necessitated treating over 900 potential victims with antibiotics as a precaution. However, despite the newer sensor technologies, physicians will likely remain the best and definitive authorities on the presence of an infection.
Reporting a Biocrime
Patients who believe that they have been a victim of a biocrime generally want both a medical and law enforcement response—that is, they want medical treatment, and they want the perpetrator to be found, prosecuted, and punished. Requirements for how physicians and other members of the health-care system initially report a suspected biocrime are governed at the local level (but regulations are ever-changing, and it is important to check current information at the time it is needed). Many US state regulations mandate that diagnostic laboratories report preliminary isolates of certain microbes to public health authorities, who, in turn, are sometimes compelled to notify law enforcement, depending on the isolate. Certain states have laws that mandate that a physician report specific diseases or unusual clinical manifestations to public health authorities and, in some cases, directly to law enforcement. The latter requirement is analogous to what is expected when there is suspicion of child abuse or gunshot wounds, and failure to notify authorities is itself a crime. The regulations of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996 established national standards for health-care transactions as well as security and privacy policy for health-related information, and physicians should be aware of these standards. However, even though these regulations severely restrict the release of patient health–related information, they still permit physicians and health-care facilities to release otherwise protected health information in instances of suspected crimes or threats to public health [9,10].
Given the limited guidance for reporting suspected biocrimes, physicians could face several dilemmas. For example, some patients may not want to report a crime or a disease condition, yet may have reasonable concerns. At the beginning of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, when no treatment was available, a diagnosis of HIV infection caused many patients to fear discrimination and loss of employment, a situation that persists in many parts of the world. Similar questions may arise in bioterrorism events about insurance coverage if an event is deemed an act of war. Communication between physician and patient should help the patient understand the pros and cons of notifying law enforcement of a suspected biocrime, including whether withholding notification could place others at risk. At the very least, discussion can strengthen the doctor–patient relationship.
Fear and embarrassment of reporting potential false alarms to law enforcement or public health authorities may also be a concern for physicians and patients. But if a suspicion is not reported, a critical situation may go unrecognized and continue to worsen. Early notification to law enforcement authorities may provide valuable time and direction for investigative leads. It is expected that there will be many more negatives (false alarms) than positives when alerting law enforcement. Early reports to public health authorities may stem an epidemic. It is a misconception that you must wait for a firm diagnosis before reporting a potential case to authorities. There are many other misconceptions about biocrimes (Table 2).

The Physician's Role in Collecting Evidence
Although finding the perpetrator of a crime is a law enforcement function, the actions of attending physicians can help with microbial forensics—the scientific discipline dedicated to analyzing evidence from a biocrime or an act of bioterrorism, and that seeks to authenticate a piece of the puzzle for attribution. Implicit in the term attribution is the identification of the responsible party or the exclusion of the innocent [13].
Many physicians are familiar with the treatment of sexual assault victims, and the need to collect and preserve evidence when the patient consents. Sexual assault analysis kits have been validated to preserve semen, saliva, hair, blood, and skin. They also provide instructions on how to maintain a chain of custody to ensure that there has been no tampering with the evidence. Chain of custody is the process that assures integrity of the evidence, and ensures that there is documentation of the time the evidence is handled and each individual handling or examining the evidence. Courses exist in crime scene investigation, evidence collection, and chain of custody of the evidence in suspected sexual assault cases, and there are often well-trained support personnel who can assist patients and physicians. Such evidence collection guidance and support structures are not well-developed for biocrimes.
In contrast to typical human DNA forensic investigations, with microbial forensics, a chain of custody might not be enacted at the initial stage of medical diagnostics. Good diagnostic practices could permit samples to be used as supporting evidence in a criminal investigation. In some cases, samples can be obtained subsequently under a stricter chain-of-custody process. Law enforcement authorities can assist with such documentation processes.
Microbial Forensics
Microbial forensics includes the full scope of forensic evidence, such as analyses of microbes, materials used to prepare, stabilize, and deliver the toxin or pathogen, and fingerprints, hair, fiber, and pollen [1,14]. The laboratory analyses used for microbial forensics may include molecular sequencing, microbiological cultures, biochemistry, electron microscopy, crystallography, and mass spectrometry. These analyses go well beyond those used for medical diagnoses and epidemiologic investigations [15]. They require, however, the same substances used by the physician for diagnostics, for example, body fluid samples and microbial cultures. In this regard, the physician and the clinical laboratory have critical roles in the collection and initial analyses of samples for microbial forensics.
In the 2001 anthrax letter attacks, the preservation of the initial and subsequent isolates enabled microbial forensic methods to identify the strain in the attacks as the Ames strain of Bacillus anthracis. Analyses were based initially on a method to identify variable-number tandem repeat sequences, and later on, whole genome sequencing. Comparisons with existing strains in culture collections narrowed the likely source to a laboratory as opposed to being obtained directly from nature [16–18]. Fortunately, the initial strain from the Florida patient (the index case) and strains isolated from other victims, as well as spores from the letters, were preserved for future analyses. Microbial forensic analysis is now able, with the help of specialized facilities such as the Institute for Genome Research (TIGR), to determine the whole genome sequence of the approximately 5 million bases of B. anthracis to identify the polymorphisms that may be signatures of the bioweapon [17].
A major thrust of microbial forensics will, therefore, be the analysis of nucleic acids that can relate the genome of the pathogen to specific sources. This analysis is analogous to human DNA forensic analysis, which is being widely used to prosecute criminals and to exonerate the innocent [19]. But there are important differences between the analyses of microbial genomes and those used in human DNA forensics. Because of the sheer number of potential pathogens that could be employed as a weapon, identifying genetic markers for microbes is a more daunting task than identifying human DNA. In the case of human identification, only one species is involved, and it is often possible to identify an individual person. Viruses and most bacteria are haploid. Microbes primarily reproduce asexually, but can also evolve by recombination, horizontal gene transfer, and gene duplication. Therefore, statistical methodologies and interpretation will require different tools than are currently used for comparing and estimating the rarity of (diploid) human DNA profiles [20,21]. Nevertheless, obstacles due to genetic complexity can be reduced by obtaining samples as early as possible.
If physicians suspect a biocrime, they should take steps to ensure the preservation of the diagnostic samples so that they are not prematurely destroyed. Physicians may also advise the patient to preserve additional material that may prove useful for a criminal investigation. Just as in sexual assaults, in a suspected biocrime, the patient's personal articles may carry traditional forensic evidence that is of equal value to the information revealed by the microbe itself. Unlike sexual assault evidence, in a suspected biocrime, procedures used to preserve one particular microbe may be deleterious for other microbes and for physical evidence (such as fingerprints, culture media, isotopes, hair, and environmental material). In addition, procedures useful for preserving one microbe may be insufficient to preserve another that may be unknown at the time.
History and Physical Examination
The physician's record of the patient's history and physical examination is evidence that can be expected to be part of any public health and forensic investigation (and subsequent legal proceedings) in either a true attack or a hoax. The physician's ability to interpret the clinical history and physical examination may go beyond differential diagnoses—for example, it can help establish timelines of exposure and of the evolution of disease, which will have forensic and public health implications. The physician is positioned to assist in identification and collection of evidence, and initiate the chain of custody that protects the integrity of the evidence (see supporting online material of [1]; [14,22]) or, at a minimum, maintains good medical practice, akin to that used for transfusion of blood products.
The Case of Louisiana v. Schmidt
The case of Louisiana v. Schmidt, in which HIV-infected blood was used as the weapon in an attempted murder [23,24], is instructive for the microbial forensics system. A vial of HIV-infected blood was found in the office of a suspect, a gastroenterologist. The challenge for microbial forensics was to provide evidence that this was, or was not, the source of the victim's HIV infection. HIV, an RNA virus, undergoes rapid mutation, so any direct genetic comparison of the donor source and the recipient (the victim) is complicated. In this case, analysis focusing on both rapidly and more slowly mutating genes of HIV proved to be useful. Examination of strains from the vial, the victim, and control samples (known samples from other patients with HIV residing in the same geographic region as the victim) revealed that the viral RNA from the victim was more closely aligned to that from the vial in the suspect's office than to isolates from other patients in the area. The clinical history and clinical laboratory data obtained by attending physicians provided supporting evidence of the uninfected status of the victim prior to this injection. The victim's prior HIV-negative status was documented by blood donation screenings and negative-HIV tests of sexual partners, prior to the injection. The evidence was presented in a US criminal court. Based on the composite epidemiologic and microbial forensic evidence presented, a conviction for attempted murder was obtained.
This case illustrates several points. Sample collection and documentation by the attending physician are paramount to the biocrime investigation. If an attending physician is suspicious about an acquired infection, especially with an organism that is known to mutate rapidly, more frequent sampling and preservation of those samples are important. The sample may contain other clues (the victim, in this case, also was allegedly injected with blood that was hepatitis C positive). These samples could be helpful both epidemiologically, if there were an outbreak, and forensically, if there were an intentional incident. Analysis of these patient samples and other specimens may determine who was the source, and who was the victim. This case showed that even though the earliest isolates were not obtained, when the possibility of a biocrime was considered, there was still sufficient time to obtain valuable specimens, even with this rapidly mutating virus. The case also illustrates that microbial evidence can be informative, but it is rarely the sole deciding evidence. When considered in conjunction with other evidence—in this situation, epidemiological and clinical data—the case was very strong.
Instructive lessons can also be found by reviewing other cases in the literature [5], such as the laboratory technician who poisoned her co-workers with a laboratory stock of Shigella dysenteriae type 2 in muffins [25], and the poisoning of salad bars to skew an election for political gain [26].
Although our primary focus has been on the role that the practicing physician can play, it is important to remember that medical examiners or coroners can also serve as sentinels for discovering acts of bioterrorism and biocrime, as well as collecting pertinent microbial forensic evidence [27]. They have the statutory authority to investigate deaths that are sudden, suspicious, violent, and unattended. Moreover, the medical examiner or coroner may encounter victims that were never examined by practicing physicians. Autopsies can be crucial for diagnosis of unknown infections and for acquiring evidence for subsequent criminal investigations [1,19]. For example, in 1979, in Sverdlovsk, USSR, at least 66 people died during an anthrax outbreak. The official Soviet government position was that the victims were infected by eating contaminated meat. Autopsy data were inconsistent with the proclaimed cause of death, and, instead, supported the proposition that the disease was inhalational anthrax due to an accidental aerosol emission from a secret military weapons facility [28].
Close working relationships should be developed between the medical examiner/coroner and public health and law enforcement entities to alert one another of possible outbreaks (whether natural or intentional) as soon as possible. For suspected attacks, the medical examiner/coroner should immediately collect case-specific death investigation information and establish a chain of custody. Fortunately, medical examiners and coroners have a long-established relationship with law enforcement. However, if there are questions regarding notification or evidence collection, the medical examiner/coroner can contact the proper public health and law enforcement entities (see Table 2).
Physicians and other health-care providers are positioned to recognize suspicious situations and alert public health and law enforcement officials. This alone may be the most important step physicians can take (Box 2).
Box 2. Measures That a Physician May Take toward Securing Evidence in Cases of Biocrimes
- Maintain primary role in caring for the patient, even at the risk of compromising evidence collection.
- Discuss the situation with the patient, including options for interaction with and disclosure to public health and law enforcement officials.
- If permitted by patient consent, or if required by law, alert as early as possible public health authorities and law enforcement, who can provide the necessary expertise or guidance to collect and preserve evidence.
- Do not assume one agency will notify the other in a time-sensitive period. Ensure that notification has occurred.
- Maintain well-documented medical records because documentation of history, physical examination, and patient course may constitute evidence.
- Obtain samples that may serve as evidence early, frequently, and under a defined chain-of-custody process.
- Once a biocrime is suspected, ensure that the clinical laboratory does not discard microbial isolates, but preserves them for forensic analyses or transfers them under a chain-of-custody procedure (along with accessory material such as the transport tube initially used to transport microbial isolates from patient to laboratory). Law enforcement and public health personnel participating in the Laboratory Response Network can provide this assistance.
In cases of biocrimes, physicians may interact with nonmedical authorities—who often do not fully appreciate that a trusting doctor–patient relationship is crucial for proper care and healing, and that information should be private. It is helpful to inform such officials about the importance of the doctor–patient relationship at the outset so they can be sensitive to the obligations of physicians. Just as with a sexual assault case, once there is recognition of the possibility of a bioterrorism act or other biocrime, the physician should discuss the entire situation with the patient, explaining what can be done with the consent of the patient and what actions physicians are mandated to take to comply with public health and legal requirements. This communication will likely strengthen the patient's relationship with the physician. Within the context of microbial forensics, if the patient consents, or the law requires it, the physician can facilitate preservation of evidence. To the extent possible, earlier, more, and serial sampling of evidence is best.
Physicians can ultimately serve their patients by acting, in the traditional role, as a healer, and by working with public health and law enforcement entities to help prevent further attacks and to achieve justice. As with sexual assaults, identification and conviction of the attacker can bring closure and provide a degree of security to the patient, who can then evolve from being a victim to being a survivor [29]. Physicians and their colleagues are likely to have creative ideas to contribute to the field of microbial forensics. Their input is encouraged and welcomed.

I have just upgraded my two EVO 9s to V3.41 and my XPS receiver and transmitter with Updater 3.0. I can now bind the transmitter and receiver but I am not getting any telemetry data displayed. I expected to see signal strength and receiver battery voltage. If I press the button on the transmitter module it displays RANGE! but no signal strength. I also don't know how to get the display of "BINDING" that is shown in post 72 of https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/show...1114898&page=5 .
I have posted several times on the last page (228) of this link:
What am I missing?
Hey Art,
It seems like you've made the trip if the "Range" button is working.
At least on my 12, to enter "Range" you hold down the Lower Left-Most Button (STU7) while powering up. To Enter "Binding" you hold down the button just on top of it (ABC1) with the little wrench over it while powering up.
To make the LQI and Rx Voltage show up you use the XDP on an 8 or 10 channel XPS Receiver (push down the little button inside the hole while powering the Rx up) and click the Telemetry button on the lower right after selecting the device. For output to: select Tx/Pc and for an update rate: select 10. Then be sure to update the EPROM before you exit.
Good Luck!
Hooray!!! At last, it all works. Thanks, Steve. Your input did it for me. Where did you get the info on how to make the Range, and Binding button combo work? I've never seen anything published on that. How do you use the "Binding" function now? Do you put the receiver in binding mode first, then turn on the transmitter while holding the wrench button down?
Another question. When I go into RANGE mode and start walking away I get a series of beeps. Is that a range warning? What is an acceptable signal strength value and at what distance? I would think all this would be published at XPS but I can't find it.
Thanks again for all your help!
This information is in the M-Link manual. M-Link is Multiplex's 2.4GHz system (available only in Europe). We emulate their module system with our system, but all of the functions are EVO based. So, you need the EVO manual for the v3.41 upgrade.
The beeps are to let you know that you are in range test mode. You should get at least 100 feet of range while in range test mode.
For me it seems like the Radio loses it's link when the LQI is about 30%, I don't think there is an alarm for it although it would be nice to have one. That would give you a chance to re-orient your antenna if you were getting out of range.
Another nice feature would be to allow an adjustable alarm for Rx pack voltage. That would be nice when using something other than ni-cads or ni-mh batteries.
I read so many things from so many different searches and sources I can't exactly tell you where I found that info.
Now your next fun thing to do is to read the manuals to bind a "slave" to your master receiver to see that your now have a 16 Channel Radio!
The two Rx's don't even need to be physically connected to each other (they both need power). That can really save on wires, connectors and Y's. On my A-10, I stuck a Nano in the wing and went from having a connector with 12 wires to one having just two. And I still have my 8 channel (master) in the fuselage giving the LQI and Rx Voltage.
Hi Steve,
I built a P-82 Twin Mustang with two nano receivers. I had one battery, one ESC, one rudder servo, one gear retract servo, one flap servo, one aileron servo, and one rcvr in each side plus one had an elevator servo. I think that makes 11 channels on my EVO-9. I had no problem doing that about 6 months ago. It was very reliable and I had no problems with it. I have recently finished a scratch built big twin of my own design that I haven't flown yet that might benefit from your idea of having a receiver in the wing. This thing has 10 servos and the wiring is a real challenge! There are 6 servos in the wing and maybe I can put in a nano and reduce that wiring mess. I've attached a picture of the twin. I designed it in Autocad.
When you say you lose control when LQI is around 30% is that in "Range" mode or normal?
Is there an LQI value in the "Range" mode that indicates safe operation? If I still have to go at least 100' away to see if I lose control what good does it do to have the range mode signal strength? I can see a benefit to see the signal strength when flying to warn of going out of range. Especially if there is a LQI value that says "about to go out of range".
I did a quick test today where I left the receiver in my shop and switched to "RANGE" mode and then started walking outside. I stopped when the LQI reading was around 30% but I couldn't tell if I still had control. I then switched the transmitter off and then on in normal mode and the signal then read LQI =70%. I really don't know what that tells me. Do you?
Thanks for the info on the manual. I'll see if I can find one in English on their website. Is there any sensors, etc, available now that I can use to see the Main Power source in my plane with my EVO-9 and XPS system? I'm on your list for the XPS-16 availability notice.
All the range mode does is GREATLY reduce the Tx output power. If while in Range mode you watch the control surfaces on the plane there will be a point on the LQI display where they quit moving (around 30%).
While flying, as long as you are showing an LQI above that number you will have control, just like in the range test. It's like a Relative Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI). But you really can't look at it easily while flying (audible alarm would be nice) have a buddy watch it. He can read out the numbers and if they ever get below 45%, decrease the range, re-orient your antenna or land.
Very Curious -- You converted a couple of 9 channel Evo Tx's right? Do you also have 16 channels available to you when you slave another receiver?
Hi Steve,
Yes, I did convert two Evo 9's. In my display of "MONITOR" where I can see the outputs of all the channels I still only show nine. I think I only have 9 sources of signals at a time. I had 12 channels of control with only 9 sources. Obviously I had the same source for both receivers in some cases (flaps, rudder,Gear, etc.)

ROMANCE was in the air when an East Lancashire man made the 'perfect proposal' to his future wife.
Mat Burrow whisked girlfriend Scarlett Jepson off to Muncaster Castle in the Lake District and had the words projected onto the historic castle walls.
Following a showreel of images, including their dog Millie and a recent scan picture of their baby girl who is due in May, Mat popped the question as Travis song, Flowers In The Window, played in the background.
"I had been planning to ask Scarlett for ages. We both love the Lakes so it was a perfect setting and something a bit different.
"It was nerve-wracking and I had been carrying the ring around with me all day, but I was happy with the display and everything went according to plan," said Mat, who lives in Accrington and works at Pendle Vale College in Nelson.
Peter Frost-Pennington was partly responsible for the proposal running smoothly.
He lit up the castle with hearts and roses, and ran the slide show followed by 'Scarlett will you marry me? Love Mat.'
"We went for a romantic evening stroll around the gardens and Scarlett watched as the walls of the castle lit up. Peter was great, he played along and gave nothing away, he made it perfect," said 27-year-old Mat.
Muncaster Castle is well-known for its beautiful architecture and famous gardens, with the poet Ruskin describing the view from the Terrace as 'the gateway to paradise'.
The couple plan to get married in three years and Scarlett, 22, said that her fiance's proposal left her lost for words.
She said: "It was the best surprise ever. I was totally overwhelmed with the whole light show. I was speechless.
"Then when Mat's question beamed all over the castle walls I turned to find him on one knee with the ring, I immediately shouted 'yes of course'. I loved it, it was the perfect proposal."

Watch it Wayne Bridge!
JEALOUS fox Frankie Sandford is in a panic as boyfriend Wayne Bridge is set to go on a wild lads' holiday without her.
Frankie got pretty ratty when she heard about the holiday plans.
West Ham player Wayne Bridge, 30, is planning to go crazy in LA next month with fellow footie stars Ashley Cole, 30, and Shaun Wright-Phillips, 29.[>
And though Frankie Sandford, 22, is fuming at the thought of her fella surrounded by hot bikini babes, he's told he she'll have to like it or lump it.
The trip is being organised by SWP, who wants the knees-up to be a legendary affair to celebrate the fact he's reportedly leaving Man City.
The fun-loving lads are planning to blow a month's salary in the first three days of the booze-fest – and have banned girlfriends from joining them.[>
Insiders revealed: "Frankie got pretty ratty when she heard about the holiday plans.[>
"She's seen the pictures of Wayne and Shaun caning it last year and fears he may get out there and act like he's single again.[>
"Wayne told her she'd have to do without him for a couple of weeks, but she wasn't happy at all."
Our picture shows Wayne and Shaun last July drinking beer with the local totty in Miami, so it's no wonder Frankie's biting her manicured nails at the thought of a repeat.[>
In spite of the girlfriend ban, love rat Ashley has told ex-wife Cheryl, 27, that if she wants to spend some time away from the media she can join him for a while.[>
So it seems the Girls Aloud singer is allowed, but Frankie's been left in the cold.[>
Wayne might find if he enjoys himself too much he could lose the Saturdays sizzler.[>
But we guess he'll have to cross that Bridge when he comes to it.[>

Story #1:
Our Garden is Filled with Flowers and Toys
When I used to go to school to check upon my daughter Maha, a 4th grade student, I used to pass that pandemic area adjacent to the school: a piece of land filled with garbage and solid waste; its sight was despicable and the smell was severely uncomfortable to the extent that I would become very upset. Collectively, I and other mothers would share our concern with the principal of the school, but nothing else would be done.
After receiving training from the Teacher Creativity Center on problem analysis skills, intervention mechanisms, establishment of work teams and adopting an activity plan, we were able to work with the principal Mrs. Zahra Said, who was highly cooperative, thus forming a mothers' council that communicated with the local council; and we were able to transform that hideous area into an annex garden of the school, filled with flowers and toys: a truly beautiful and pleasant scene to look at, leading to encouraging teachers and students to use this place as a venue to combine learning with playing and serving as a recreational arena during daily breaks.
We truly felt that we induced a beautiful change in our daughters' lives by improving their schooling environment, and we are certainly proud of our accomplishment, thereby pushing us to tackle other problems and contribute to solving them.
Story #2:
Mothers' Council in Tamoon Solves Sanitation Problem in Girl's School
It posed a real problem to us, and I paid a visit to the doctor three times, who indicated that the reason might be that we did not prefer to use sanitation units at school and waited until getting home after school to use bathrooms; this recurred with my friends too, indicated Samia, an 11th grade student at Tamoon Secondary School for Girls.
Rabeeha Bani Odeh, a member of the mothers' council of the school clarified that the problem was inadequate, degraded and far distant sanitation units, leading to suffering of girls and a number of health and psychological complications; Rabeeha added that after receiving training from and follow-up visits by the Teacher Creativity Center, we –members of the mothers' council, principal of the school and psychological counselor- discussed possible solutions and adopted a full and integrated action plan, approaching the community to clarify the problem of sanitation units, who truly cooperated with us.
Some volunteered to work while others offered donations; we were able within months to build an appropriate sanitation unit in the school. Our activity didn't stop there, but extended to organizing meetings with other mothers to raise their awareness in different aspects, while embracing the expertise of volunteers in the village and adjacent villages. We are truly happy about what we did to serve the interest of our daughters, schools and village.
Story #3:
Salah El Din Secondary School in Halhoul- Northern Hebron:
The Fathers' Council at Salah El Din Secondary School for Boys detected a decrease in achievement among students, particularly in Arabic, Science and English. The council chose to resort to the computerization of education, as a solution to overcome the weakness in academic achievement via the use of technology. Mohammad Barbarawi, coordinator of the fathers' council at the school, mentioned that the science curriculum to be explained in the laboratory was computerized to be presented using an overhead projector and a computer in the science lab. The council also trained the teachers in using the computer and converting material to multimedia, in cooperation with the educational directorate; additionally, a number of projectors were dedicated for the use of primary classes, and particularly the Arabic curriculum for grade 1, which was completely computerized. Barbarawi added that computerization facilitates the possibility of presenting the curriculum on the screen in the form of attractive pictures, animation, video and games, based on the philosophy of education via recreation. The representative of parents' emphasized that the interest of students increased significantly towards the curriculum, and the students achieved remarkably better. It is worth noting that this success was under the direct supervision of the Teacher Creativity Center.
Story #4:
Accomplishments in Hajjeh Primary School:
The members of the council surprised me with their activity, interest, coordination and affectivity even though I was relatively new at the school when we received training and supervision from the Teacher Creativity Center. Also, even though I was from another village, they quickly accepted me as a member of the team and supported me, quickly reaching harmony Murad Zaben, principal of the school said. Zaben added that when he was transferred to the school he determined many problems, leading to more than five visits by the parents' council and myself to the educational director of Qalqilya, who was in turn highly cooperative. We also conducted more than 110 visits to fathers, in order to encourage parents to take interest in their children's education and achievement. We were able to raise approximately sixty thousand (60,000) US dollars, which we used to increase the number of classrooms and improve the conditions of sports courts and playgrounds; we adopted a clear action plan to solve the problem of underachievement among students in the primary stage, which we were able to solve to a large extent. We are very happy with our accomplishment and we have immense positive energy, understanding and trust from the people of the village, such that the council intervened and succeeded in solving political problems that occurred after the elections on the level of the village.
Other Success Stories:
Shereen, a member of the mothers' council in Ishbiliah Secondary School for Girls in Tulkarem, said that after receiving training and conducting a number of meetings of the mothers' council, she received an invitation from the Ladies Association of Tulkarem to deliver a lecture about the role and importance of parents' councils, and the extent of importance that mothers pay attention to the school environment and achievement of their daughters. Shereen says that she was very happy and proud after delivering the lecture, mainly due to the interaction of the ladies with her, emphasizing that their work started paying off in delivering a clear message to the community, which is essentially that women, mothers and fathers should contribute to determining the needs of schools and contribute to planning the solution of these problems.

Green Bay Replay: Cowboys 37, Packers 27
The Packers' deflating 37-27 loss to Dallas Thursday night at Texas Stadium screamed "worst case scenario" on several fronts, beginning with the injury to franchise icon Brett Favre, but fans can take comfort in a few bright spots:
Aaron Rodgers can play.
Mike McCarthy can coach.
The Cowboys, though solid and talented, are nowhere near invincible.
Here are some other observations from the sofa:
Bold prediction: In an interview Thursday morning, NFL Network analyst Steve Mariucci said that the announcement of the inactives 90 minutes before kickoff would be crucial to the Packers' chances. He was absolutely right. The Packers were without cornerback Charles Woodson and defensive end Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila and it hurt them immeasurably. Woodson's absence created confusion in the secondary (and led to some blunders by Jarrett Bush) and the defensive line didn't create a lot of pressure without KGB.
Throwback game: The Cowboys wore their blue retro jerseys, but it was Brett Favre who turned back the clock. Before he exited with elbow and shoulder injuries, Favre forced passes into double coverage and generally abandoned all the things that made him an MVP candidate in the first 10 weeks of the season. Whether by necessity or design, the Packers returned to their short-passing attack when Rodgers entered the game and they prospered.
In the most extensive action of his career, Rodgers completed 18 of 26 passes for 201 yards and a touchdown. Favre was 5 for 14 with 56 yards and two interceptions.
Zebra attack: As was often the case back in the '90s, the key calls went against Green Bay. Al Harris did strip the ball from Terrell Owens on the Cowboys' first drive, but the refs had blown the whistle.
The key play of the game was a 42-yard pass interference call on Tramon Williams, who didn't appear to impede Patrick Clayton. It was dicey at best.
Iron Mike: McCarthy showed big-time guts when he yanked Daryn Colledge and Jarrett Bush from the game for incompetence. He also did a nice job adjusting things for Rodgers. If only he could have convinced defensive coordinator Bob Sanders to blitz a little more to create pressure on Romo. With KGB out of the picture, the Cowboys dominated the line for most of the night.
House of horrors: Favre is now 0-9 at Texas Stadium. The Cowboys have won each game by at least 10 points.
Gumbel goofs: NFL Network play-by-play announcer Bryant Gumbel's first big faux pas of the night came early. On what is known as the "run-out," when a team enters the field, Gumbel said: "Here come the Packers..." and then corrected himself by saying "Cowboys."
Right before halftime, Gumble mangled a common position ("linebrackers?) and then continued his team confusion by saying "The crowd is not happy but the Packers will go for the field goal," when he really meant to say "Cowboys."
There were other slipups along the way. Gumbel closed out the night by promoting the Wendy's post-game show. He caught that one quickly and changed it to Home Depot, but the sponsors couldn't have been thrilled with that one. He also, in teasing a post-game interview, referred to the Cowboys' quarterback as "Rick Romo."
Fitting tribute: Several players wore No. 21 stickers in honor of slain Redskins safety Sean Taylor. Fortunately, the moment of silence was truly silent; no buffoons marred it with screams.
Wardrobe malfunctions? Packers offensive tackle Mark Tauscher, who seemed to be struggling to overcome the ankle injury that has hobbled him of late, seemed to rip his pants in the first half. Also, it appeared that rookie receiver James Jones had trouble with his shoes.
Safety dance: Remember when Packers coaches and front office types used to say that Nick Collins had the potential to be a Pro Bowl player? Nobody says that any more. Collins doesn't show great instincts or a knack for making plays. Atari Bigby didn't play well on Thursday, either.
Memory lane: The opening coin toss featured appearances by legendary Dallas quarterbacks Roger Staubach and Troy Aikman. The Cowboys are celebrating the 30th and 15th anniversaries of championships in won in 1977 and '92, respectively. And you thought only the Braves / Brewers won titles in even increments.
Breaking news: The Cowboys cheerleaders had another strong draft.
Name game: If Alex Rodriguez wasn't such a lightning rod, do you think Rodgers could get some juice from the nickname "A-Rod?"
Pass the mustard: Cowboys receiver Terrell Owens may be a giant hot dog, but he's incredibly talented. And, he's fun. You had to laugh when he grabbed that popcorn box after the touchdown. Look at it this way: he's nowhere near as obnoxious as Michael Irvin was in the '90s.
Kick in the shorts: What happened to the Packers' special teams? Miles Austin averaged about 35 yards on kickoffs and kicker Mason Crosby looked more aggressive than some of his teammates on the kick team. The Cowboys seemed to have more energy on those plays, which was unexpected.

Nice wrapup. Bryant Gumbel is terrible. Remember when he stated that he wouldn't watch the Winter Olympics because there are no black people in it. He is a racist. Imagine if some white guy said that about basketball. He wouldn't have a job anymore. But somehow Bryant Gumbel gets away with it. I do like his brother Greg though. Greg is intelligent and actually seems to know what he's talking about unlike his stupid racist brother Bryant.

"Rick Romo." I caught the end of the game and heard Gumble say that ... I was thinking to myself... are they interviewing his father or something? I'm gonna have to say he is the worse announcer I have heard.. he doesn't even sound right.

With the countless consultations the government has carried out on its myriad reforms of public services, you might think they'd have got the knack of listening by now.
But ministers seem increasingly afflicted by selective deafness as Lord Darzi's appearance before the health select committee yesterday demonstrated.
When questioned by MPs, Darzi denied any suggestion that political targets were hindering efforts to tackle the rising rate of hospital superbugs.
His denial might not seem quite so ridiculous were it not for the fact that a damning report into Britain's deadliest superbug outbreak, which laid much of the blame on staff being distracted by financial and waiting-time targets, is still making headlines.
It seems implausible to imagine that Darzi has not read the Healthcare Commission's report. So we must conclude he has developed the same blindspot that apparently prevents his ministerial colleagues from missing any criticism of government policy in official reports.
This affliction would seem to be the only explantion for the Department of Health's reaction to criticism from nurse of the year, Justine Whitaker, who last week announced she was quitting the NHS because she was sick of the constant political reforms.
Without any apparent irony, a DH spokeswoman replied that it acknowleged that too much change could affect staff morale and that was why Lord Darzi was carrying out yet another review of the NHS. You couldn't make it up.

Simplifying Earth Day 2011: Picnic for the Planet
The first Earth Day in 1970 centered on political activism. In recent years, the event often mirrors something closer to a combination of a state fair and a trade show. Nothing wrong with that: these events likely bring out a much more diverse mix of people than the earliest gatherings. At the same time, current Earth Day celebrations tend to focus on the celebration… even if directly connecting with the natural world gets moved down the list of priorities.

Well you are being a whinny prick, lol. You asked , but Wii's here are only 250$ then a clip in chip is like 80$. Why don't you order a pre-modded Wii for about 350$ from a site, or look at ones people on here might be selling.
I wanna buy a wii and mod it but i feel violated that i still have to pay close to 400$ (canada) for a damn wii and prob more if I need to pay to get it moded.
I mean, its a 3 year old console already! I guess nintendo won't want to do a price drop as long as the wii is still selling like crazy.Even on ebay ppl ask for ridiculous amounts.
I'm still hoping there might be a price drop in 2009... but I dont think I should hold my breath on this one. I mean I payed 400$ for my xbox about 3 years ago and had it ''flashed'' for 30$. In 2009 wii price still hasnt changed, good chips and installation is around 70$+ easily from what ive seen on sites.
Ive been really interested getting a moded wii but I just feel like prices are too high even now after 3 years, not to mention the fact Wii moding and game compatibility looks a lot more complicated, unstable and risky then on a flashed xbox360 (ive never had a prob with mine, no flashware or updates bs, all games work and i dont have to worry about a thing).
Well, what do u guys think? Could I expect a wii price drop soon or am I just a cheap winning prick lol?

how much my rig costs ...
$250 - system
$072 - WiiKey 2 w. WiiClip
Input devices:
$040 - WiiMote 2

$050 - WiiPlay w WiiMote 4
$020 - Classic Controller 1
$020 - Classic Controller 2
$020 - Chuck 1
$020 - Chuck 2
$532 total so far ... and I haven't even gotten into the games yet.
If you were to fully deck out your system with 4 WiiMotes and 4 Chucks, you're looking at another $250, the cost of the system alone. It's amazing how people think the Wii is a value. It's not expensive, but it's not cheap either.

nintendo sold the most Wiis/DS's during the holiday/post holiday seasons... why would they lower the price, when getting a DS during/after christmas was a hard task?!
in addition youre looking at a 350 or so FINAL USER price, not start up price...

in addition in the end, the wii is still the cheapest system... Xbox is nowhere near it, the reason it droped in price is guess what, no one wants it, even flashing it is pointless
yeah you can play backups, but you got a xbox how many games are you gonna play.... that dont require Live in the end? and why would you pay 50 usd to only get banned at some point?
the end user price for Xbox is MUCH HIGHER, and MUCH LESS to do...

390 usd + tax .....
and ps3 costs the most which is still more than all of those but in the end, ps3 has no titles so it makes no difference =\
I have a pre-modded Wii I'm selling
Wii w/everything but the Wii Sports Disc (remote/nunchuk are brand-new) - $250

Try reading up on this forum a bit and spend $249 for the Wii and soft mod it. You don't necessarily need a mod chip installed. And i doubt also that the Wii will have a price drop anytime soon. These things are still hard to get and always have been.
^ a lot of places dont support renting, and since its a older title not every store has it any more, were doing things in realistic things =P
ahh kk.. didn't know the game was not available for rent. If so, then maybe mod chip is the way to go.

Urge Obama & Co. to Watch "on the edge"
I'm going to be in the Washington DC area in March--and would be available to do a personal screening for the First Family and/or others. And I'll be at a conference next week where HUD Secretary Donovan and ICH Director Poppe are on the schedule.
Homelessness, especially as experienced by millions of families and teens in America, is largely invisible and quite misunderstood. Maybe that's why our leaders don't make it a priority.
A new documentary, "on the edge," shines a light on this issue, focusing on 7 women who share their experiences of life without a home. It's a powerful film, one that could change the way this country views homelessness. HEAR US Inc., the national nonprofit behind the film, teamed up with award-winning documentary maker Dr. Laura Vazquez of Northern Illinois University to film and produce the film to raise awareness, and hopefully spur action.
They confidently know on the edge will resonate and inspire all types of audiences. Our nation's leaders and policymakers need to spend 60 minutes watching on the edge. It's an important first step to prioritizing our nation's approach to ending homelessness--understanding the perspective of families and teens.
This simple action urges them to sit down and listen to the experts on family and youth homelessness-those who have experienced it. It will profoundly change the way they (and you!) perceive this tragic issue. (Watch the 4-minute trailer)
- Secretary of HUD
Shaun Donovan
- Executive Director, US Interagency Council on Homelessness
Barbara Poppe
- President of the United States
Do you have an hour to spend listening to invisible homeless women? It could be the most inspiring, productive 60 minutes you spend. And Diane Nilan, producer of this film, will be in your area soon!
HEAR US Inc., a national nonprofit organization giving voice and visibility to homeless families and youth, along with Dr. Laura Vazquez, media professor at Northern Illinois University, have filmed and produced "on the edge," a powerful documentary featuring 7 courageous women sharing their experiences of homelessness. The film just took top honors at the BEA Film Festival. They guarantee it will change the paradigm of how this nation addresses homelessness.
Our current policies and practices don't begin to scratch the surface for families and youth at risk of or experiencing homelessness. These women shine a light on this little-understood issue in a way that will inspire you to make sure our nation does more than put on bandages on this hemorrhaging wound.
Will you please get a copy of "on the edge" and watch it? Or better yet, contact Diane (firstname.lastname@example.com) to set up a personal screening. She's going to be in the Washington area in March.

Lovely, traditional ale house attached to brewery, situated near the seafront in Kirkcaldy. Almost strictly 'old men' but with a cosy atmosphere and welcoming staff. A selection of fine ales on cask - 5 when I visited - but with none of their own ales on when I visited, unfortunately. Food is very minimal (pies and crisps) and it's not really family orientated.

OK-ish pub with a fairly unimpressive brewery attached.
cgarvieuk (403) Edinburgh , Scotland | May 1, 2012
A nice bar in Krkcaldy, with a small brewery attached out the back. Decent selection of Taps, mostly guest but usually 1 of there own beers. Quite an old fashioned pub but cosy. Sadly children are no longer allowed
highlandlad (53) Blue Mountains, Australia | October 18, 2011
A traditional Scottish "howff" on the esplanade. The exterior is uninviting but the interior is warm and welcoming. Four changing taps on weekdays and six on weekends. Home to the Fyfe Brewery, which can usually be found supplying one or two of the taps. The beers appeared well-maintained and the staff were mostly friendly and chatty. No food unfortunately.
niquillis (338) Stoke on Trent, England | July 31, 2011
One of the best pubs I've visited in Scotland. 6 changing ales on and a witty landlord make this a must visit if you're in the area.
Rune (849) Tromsø, Norway | December 30, 2008
Medium sized traditional city local divided into two rooms, a lounge and a public bar including an intact jug bar. Six hand pumps display a good range of well kept guest beers, always featuring at least one from the Fyfe Brewery which is located in the same building as the pub. List of beers are displayed on a blackboard. Cosy and very hospitable pub. The Harbour Bar was established in 1924, and is highly acclaimed with lots of CAMRA awards in recent years. I really enjoyed my stay here early on a Saturday afternoon. Should not be missed.

Lighting Controls Assn. adds "Hi-Bay Lighting Upgrades" to its education program
The Lighting Controls Assn. has announced the availability of EE204: Hi-Bay Lighting Upgrades, a new course added to its Education Express program.
The Lighting Controls Assn. (LCA), Rosslyn,, application, system design and commissioning, as well as meta-issues such as LEED, energy codes and other trends.
Probe-start metal halide fixtures are a common workhorse in hi-bay applications such as factories, warehouses, big-box stores and gyms, but are also the least energy-efficient. As a result, the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 is expected to virtually eliminate probe-start fixtures starting in 2009, forcing a choice between more-efficient pulse-start metal halide and fluorescent hi-bay fixtures. In addition, replacing probe-start with fluorescent has become one of the hottest lighting retrofit markets, as fluorescent can deliver comparable light levels and up to more than
EE204: Hi-Bay Lighting Upgrades, authored by lighting industry educator and journalist Craig DiLouie, describes pulse-start metal halide and T5HO and T8 fluorescent options, with detailed information about how to maximize energy savings and lighting's utility using appropriate controls.
At the conclusion of the course, an optional online comprehension test is available, with automatic grading; a passing grade enables the student to claim education credit. EE204: Hi-Bay Lighting Upgrades is accredited/registered with the National Council on Quality in the Lighting Professions (NCQLP), which recognizes 4 LEUs towards maintenance of Lighting Certified (LC) certification; the Association of Energy Engineers (AEE), which recognizes 0.4 CEUs towards maintenance of its Certified Lighting Efficiency Professional (CLEP) certification; and the interNational Association of Lighting Management Companies (NALMCO), which recognizes 15 Education Points towards maintenance of its Certified Lighting Management Consultant (CLMC) certification.
Since its launch in June 2006, Education Express has served nearly 4,000 students, who have benefited from more than 13,000 completions of learning modules and nearly 5,000 comprehension tests taken online, enabling them to earn education credit.

Annual Salary Survey
Before the calendar turned, 2016 already had the makings of a pivotal year for manufacturing, and for the world.
There were the big events for the year, including the United States as Partner Country at Hannover Messe in April and the 2016 International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago in September. There's also the matter of the U.S. presidential elections in November, which promise to shape policy in manufacturing for years to come.
But the year started with global economic turmoil, as a slowdown in Chinese manufacturing triggered a worldwide stock hiccup that sent values plummeting. The continued plunge in world oil prices has resulted in a slowdown in exploration and, by extension, the manufacture of exploration equipment.

The Pittsburg Mettle baseball team played its first home game of the season on June 17 against the Sonoma Stompers, and considering the way the Mettle struggled away from City Park last week, the break from the road couldn't have come at a better time.
Pittsburg lost to San Rafael 3-2 on July 15 as the Pacifics completed a three-game series sweep. The Mettle entered this week with a 2-9 record after going 1-5 in games last week.
In Pittsburg's Father's Day loss, San Rafael scored twice in the bottom of the sixth inning to take the lead for good.
San Rafael's Mike Orefice led off the inning with a single and came in to score on a wild pitch by Tyler Greene tying the game 2-2.
After a walk to Johnny Woodard, Chase Fontaine doubled to right center field scoring what would end up being the game-winning run.
Pittsburg was held hitless through the first 4.1 innings by San Rafael pitcher Jesse Smith before Mettle shortstop Chris DeBiasi recorded his team's first hit in the fifth inning. The Mettle tied the game 1-1 on an RBI by Tony Torcato and took a one run lead on an error by Pacifics left fielder Jeremy Williams.
That was all the offense Pittsburg could muster as Smith allowed just one hit in his final three innings and finished the day with eight innings pitched, three hits, two runs, and six strikeouts.
Torcato finished 2 for 3 with RBI and DeBiasi was 1 for 4 with a run scored.
Pittsburg infielder Gregori Gonzalez leads the Pacific Association with a .487 batting average, which includes three doubles and a triple, and six RBIs. Another offensive standout for the Mettle so far is former major leaguer Aaron Miles, who is hitting .354 with four RBIs and five walks.
Pittsburg's best pitcher so far has been Wayne Franklin, who has a 2-0 record and a 2.18 ERA in two starts.
