"Capturing the ambisonic effect on stereo would seem to be impossible, but there are hints of this in these recordings depending on how the recordings are edited and the playback system."
Stewart Dempster, who plays a gaggle of instruments as part of Deep Listening Band on Needle Drop Jungle, pens the above quote for the back jacket of the 2xLP after describing the "spherical" sensation of hearing eight loudspeakers and four subwoofers pounding away on an audience situated dead-center. DLB's residency at Town Hall Seattle already has produced two full-length releases on Important Records, and there's no sign of rot amid Needle Drop, a sound exploration containing none of the stodginess that can set in when time seems infinite and there are no limits or laws.
Conversely, the trio grows to the size of their Cage and blow all sorts of flutters, drones, blots, and gurgles into the void by way of nontraditional means, such as conch, duck calls, Laos cowbell, V accordion, trombone mouthpiece whistle, and deep bells, not to mention the more recognizable piano, flute, trombone, and didjeridu. As there's no substitute for the real thing, hearing the contents of Needle Drop Jungle on two speakers is a surprisingly lively experience, founder Pauline Oliveros' well-documented prowess bouncing well off the innovative percussionary processions of David Gamper and Dempster's utility-man ability to play whatever suits the piece. Side A's "Landgrove" resurrects "O Superman" long enough to plunge its vocals into a tangled composition that, if you listen to it while living, lends an odd soundtrack-y feel to your day. Seriously, try it.
Other sections get more down and dirty. "Friday Mighty" is an authoritative eagle-swoop replete with percussion piano and "little instruments" (okay!?) that render prog and Tubular Bells toothless in comparison. So much girth and tension is lent to this track, like chasing the Wicked Witch of the East through the jungle rain as a spirit-band curses you with evil audio. It sounds like strings are turning sour, but brother, these ain't strings. I don't know what the hell they are. Until you hear this racket, you have no idea what these three are capable of. If you come in expecting a minimalist, Editions RZ acoustic-electro think-piece, prepare to get bashed in the head as if you were some sweaty dude's gong (though that's the one instrument absent here). BASHHHHHHHH-ZIP-ZUMMMMMMM-RIIIIPPPPP-BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM, you fuckers! Don't even get me started on the inevitable comedown; it's just as rich, if not as intrinsically enthralling.
Not sure what else I would say even if it soothed my druthers to continue. Deep Listening Band is a moniker you've heard whispered a lot over the last half-decade or so, not to mention that of beyond-revered veteran Oliveros, but until you experience the breadth of their recordings — which, if you haven't, you should set to immediately — it's all hype and experimental-scene whiplash. Needle Drop Jungle, as are the Deep Listening Band documents that precede it, is the real deal, more fun than you ever thought "academic music" could be.

T shirt, Tee, Under shirt – whatever you call it, these pieces of fabric have had our backs for over 100 years! We throw them on when we're off to school, heading to the gym, or just kicking back. They're our go-to piece of clothing because they're simple and comfortable – but they weren't always around! Read more to see how the T shirt because a main staple of American fashion.
The Beginning
The United States Navy gave life to the T shirt in 1913 when they began issuing it as standard military gear. Military dock workers and mechanics enjoyed the lightweight, breathable shirt as they worked around the clock.

By 1944, companies across the United States adopted the T shirt as the standard work uniform for factory workers, mechanics, oilers and more.

1950s – 1960s
In the 1950's, teen movies "A Streetcar Named Desire" and "Rebel Without A Cause" were released. Lead characters from these films, Marlon Brando and James Dean, gave the T shirt new life and created the "rebel chic" fashion craze. Sales soared during this time as more and more of the American public began wearing T shirts.

James Dean in "Rebel Without A Cause"
Between the 1950s and 1960s, the T shirt also took on a new purpose as an advertising medium. People began promoting companies, ideals, slogans, events and more on this new fashion craze. A new ink was also developed during this time that made printed images durable and stretchy on fabric. This opened many doors for companies to start screen-printing T shirts.
1960s – 1970s
As the T shirt progressed through the 1960s and 1970s, it took on many more important roles in American history. During the 1960s, a time of political protest and quest for peace, T shirts were largely used to voice opinions and promote ideals. People began tie-dying white T shirts as a sign of peace, a fashion trend that is still popular today. T shirts in the 1960s and 70s were also widely used to promote classic rock and metal bands, such as The Rolling Stones, and began surfacing at rock shows all over the country.
Tie-dye T shirts from the 1960s
1980s, 1990s and Today
In the 1980s, T shirts were transformed into fashion essentials. When characters from popular TV show "Miami Vice" wore tees under their blazers, T shirts became accepted into the high fashion world. More high-quality T shirts hit the market as they worked their way into American households. People also began experimenting with Do-It-Yourself fashion, and began cutting T shirts into crop-tops and more.
Despite the fashion world's attempt to turn T shirts into a high-quality staple, the T shirt became the leading character in 1990s "grunge" style. Grunge T shirts were usually worn, full of holes, and faded – vintage style was a plus. Band logos and lyrics were usually plastered all over the front of these tees, and defined a new world of fashion for teenagers throughout America.
Typical 90s "grunge" fashion, complete with ripped jeans and flannel
In the last 100 years of its' existence, the T shirt has seen immense growth from military garb to basic staple of all-American fashion. Today, there are thousands of different T shirt styles: V-necks, scoops, long tees, short tees – the list goes on! They feature anything from designs and logos to slogans and photos.
Advances in technology have allowed people from around the world to upload their artwork and get it printed onto a T shirt. This has allowed millions of people to share their message and art with the world, and that's where we come in!
Designbyhumans helps international artists upload, share and sell their artwork on tees, phone cases and art prints. Our artists earn a profit for every sale they make, and it's a great way for them to get exposure for future work. If you are interested in applying to be a DBH artist, click here to learn more.
So whether you're an artist or a fan, make a statement and celebrate the T shirt when you grab your next DBH tee and illustrate YOUR lifestyle.

Dublin see off Dooley and Offaly at Parnell Park
DUBLIN survived a late Offaly onslaught to kickstart their national league Division 1B campaign with a one point win at Parnell Park.
Shane Dooley second half brace of goals nearly saw the Faithful county taking a result from the capital but they just missed out on a scoreline of 1-20 to 2-16.
Paul Ryan and Shane Dooley traded early frees before Conal Keaney illustrated his class with a point to go 0-4 to 0-3 in front.
James Mulrooney grabbed a great score for Offaly in the latter stages of the first half to keep tabs on Anthony Daly's men but trailed by 0-11 to 0-6 at the change of ends.
Dublin maintained their five-point advantage until Shane Dooley's goal reduced the arrears to two.
Dublin responded well with Danny Suttcliffe cancelling out Dooley's effort almost immediately.
Offaly bounced back and another Dooley goal that took his personal tally to 2-9 and a Parlon free put just two between the sides at 1-18 to 2-13 with seven minutes remaining.
Offaly pushed hard late on but Daly's men dug in and eeked out a one point win.

Firefighters and aircrews are battling a 750-acre wildfire in rugged San Gabriel Mountains above Los Angeles' northeastern suburbs as high heat and extremely dry air have finally arrived in Southern California after weeks of unusually mild summer weather.
Much of greater Los Angeles awakened Wednesday to the pungent smell of smoke from the so-called Morris Fire burning in the Angeles National Forest a half-dozen miles north of the city of Azusa. Air quality regulators are warning of unhealthy conditions due to smoke.
Forecasters have also posted "Red Flag" warnings for fire danger across a broad swath of the region due to low humidity and hot temperatures, but the weather outlook does not call for any strong winds.
The fire, which erupted Tuesday near Morris Dam in San Gabriel Canyon, is only 10 percent contained.
No homes have burned.

EDMONTON - The idea is, the day after a particularly pathetic loss, that things wont look quite so bad the next day.
And in the case of the Edmonton Eskimos, this is true.
I know this because hobby historian Jack Morrow says its so. Morrow earned big-time credibility the day the league was going to honour Don Matthews for the most coaching wins in CFL history when he said, Not so fast, fellas, youve given him credit for more wins than he actually has, and they called the whole deal off.
Morrow is here to tell the Eskimos offence this morning, as they go back to work following their 17-1 loss in Saskatchewan to prepare for Fridays game against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, that they shouldnt be lower than a snakes belly in a wagon wheel rut.
Rise up! Its not as bad as it looks!
That not one of the Edmonton quarterbacks has thrown a touchdown pass in either the pre-season or regular season isnt anywhere near as bad as it looks.
If you go back to the first part of the 1971 season, the Eskimos didnt throw a regular season touchdown pass until Game 6, Morrow reminded to the columnist.
That was the final year of what is remembered as the sad-sack 60s of Eskimos football, when the team had a dominating defence and no quarterbacks.
That was when Larry Lawrence connected with fullback Bob Houmard in this sixth game of the season, further reminded Morrow to a guy who lived it on the beat.
George McGowan became the first real receiver to catch a touchdown pass in the ninth game that season, he said.
Don Trull started the first five games that year and was cut after nine games with no touchdown passes in the 101 passes hed thrown. Lawrence started the next five games and finished the season with three touchdown passes and 18 interceptions.
Hes right. Clearly, it could be worse.
Sure, theres the fact that, after two games, the Eskimos are dead last in the league offensively in just about every category with what theyre left with after the Ricky Ray trade: never-was Steve Jyles and has-been Kerry Joseph.
Last in scoring with an average of 10 points per game.
Last in net offence with an average of 217 yards.
Last in net passing with an average of 181 yards.
Last in net rushing with an average of 66 yards.
But this isnt the only time in Eskimos history in which theyve only managed to manufacture one point.
Heck, they did it two games in a row in 1971.
They lost 31-1 at home vs Calgary on Aug. 11 and 11-1 in Vancouver on the 18th, Morrow reminds.
The Aug. 11 game marked the debut of Larry Lawrence at QB, relieving Don Trull in the 2nd quarter. They amassed only 94 yards of net offense, and the game ended a few Eskimo careers, most notably Jim Thomas and Terry Swarn.
George McGowan was the only non-lineman on the offence that year who played the entire season. For the season opener, they had McGowan, Swarn and Henry King as receivers, and Thomas, Bob Houmard and Alan Pitcaithley as the running backs, with Trull and Rusty Clark as the QBs.
Last year the Eskimos lost 36-1 at home to B.C.
Thats when all the starting import receivers were out, he refreshes the memory.
They lost 27-1 in Vancouver on Sept. 13, 1997. In that game, a rookie named Marcus Crandell relieved Jimmy Kemp for his first extended spell at quarterback and got the team down to the 10-yard line before they turned the ball over.
Give em a break, he points out. They avoided the shutout.
The last shutout against the Eskimos was in Taylor Field, in Regina, losing 40-0 on Aug. 15, 1976.
The team was shut out twice in the first 5 games of 1967, losing the opener at home 20-0 to Winnipeg and 16-0 in Calgary.
The Eskimos next shutout loss was 17-0 in Ottawa in 1969, when Charlie Fulton threw 6 interceptions. They werent blanked again until 76.
Morrow is right. Theyre just scratching the surface here.

Rob Ford faced open, council-wide defiance at Toronto City Hall Thursday as the beleaguered mayor turned up to council moments after a delivering profane statement to the press.
As the mayor stood up to speak, councillors literally turned their backs to him in protest. In the previous day's session, council voted overwhelmingly to pass a motion asking Ford to step aside.
After Ford told reporters he didn't tell a female staffer "I want to eat your pussy" — "I'm happily married, I have more than enough to eat at home" — councillors launched a fresh volley of calls for him to resign.
Coun. Denzil Minnan-Wong, who sponsored the motion Thursday urging Ford to take a leave of absence, called the mayor's language "completely unacceptable" and said it was high time he resigned.
"He used the P-word in a very derogatory way," Minnan-Wong said.
"The mayor of our city should not be using language like that, he shouldn't be speaking about women like that."
Thursday at lunch, Ford held a press conference saying — again — that he wasn't going to step down.
With his wife standing nearby, Ford apologized for the "graphic" remarks came after six months of relentless pressure.
He said "revelations" of cocaine, escorts and prostitution made public Wednesday had pushed him "over the line."
He called the allegations "100%."
Ford did concede the stress was largely of his own making and said he was seeking professional help for his problems. However, he said his integrity as a father and husband had been attacked, prompting him to "see red."
"I acted on complete impulse in my remarks."

I don't about the v drive but the DD's packing is easy to work on. The older models like mine required taking up the floor and remove the rear panels and it is all right there. It is important to know about the packing cord as it will fail over time but the leakage is minimal at first and gradually gets worse in time so it appears this stuffing tube was in need of either an adjustment or replacement before it was purchased.
The next best thing to having this website is to have someone locally who knows these boats and can help. Much of the maintenance on these boats is not difficult just time consuming.

Edinburgh 18-23 Munster, RaboDirect PRO12
Munster edge out Edinburgh
ESPN Staff
September 1, 2012
Munster skipper Doug Howlett shackles Edinburgh's Nick de Luca

Edinburgh winger Tim Visser kicked off the new season with a hat-trick of tries against Munster in their RaboDirect PRO12 clash on Saturday night but it was not enough to prevent his side from slipping to a narrow 23-18 defeat.
An 18-point haul from fly-half Ian Keatley, plus a try from winger Luke O'Dea, gave Munster the points in an error-strewn game.
Edinburgh coach Michel Bradley has left his men in no doubt that they must deliver an improvement on last season's 11th place and he has recruited heavily to help deliver that objective. Bradley's project remains a work in progress and for their part Munster were well short of their best but displayed a clinical edge that was lacking in the home ranks.
Munster shaded the opening exchanges without really troubling the Edinburgh defence before the hosts finally sparked into life when Scotland international Visser burst from deep, although his efforts came to nothing.
That swung the momentum Edinburgh's way and the breakthrough came on 13 minutes when Nick De Luca made a break following a scrum in midfield and drew two defenders before offloading to Greig Tonks, whose perfectly-timed pass freed Visser for an untroubled stroll to the line.
Munster had a chance to trim the deficit when Keatley lined up a penalty from close to the half-way line. However, while he had the length, his direction was awry. The score was delayed only briefly and when the referee detected an Edinburgh hand in a ruck five minutes later, the stand off bisected the posts to open his side's tally.
It took a thumping tackle by Ross Ford on Denis Hurley to keep the Edinburgh line intact. In the aftermath, the ball was turned over under the Edinburgh posts and number 8 Stuart McInally pounced, eluding three tacklers before passing to Visser who sprinted over for his second try.
The visitors rallied and squared matters before the break. Doug Howlett chipped ahead and, when the bounce wrong-footed Laidlaw, Keatley was on hand to dot down before adding the conversion for a 10-10 half-time scoreline.
The Munster No.10 then edged his side into the lead when he fired over another penalty two minutes after the restart. Edinburgh raised the pace and Ross Rennie wasted a scoring chance when he kicked aimlessly ahead rather than pass to Richie Rees, who was at the flanker's elbow.
The Scots resorted to the boot to restore parity when Laidlaw stroked over a close-range penalty. With 58 minutes on the clock the visitors regained the lead. A lineout in the Edinburgh 22 was the platform for a move that ended with O'Dea slicing through the Edinburgh defence to touch down and leave Keatley a simple job to add the extra two points.
Keatley ensured Edinburgh would need two scores to take anything from the game when he landed another penalty.
Visser made such an outcome possible when he took an acrobatic pass from De Luca to dart in at the corner for his third unconverted try seven minutes from full-time. But, that was that for the Scots, who were left with only a narrow losing bonus-point to show for their efforts.

Every Thursday at the OPD, is a HIV/AIDS clinic so anyone that needs to get a routine check-up, more medication, counseling etc usually come on this day. So anyone that is diagnosed with HIV/AIDS gets a patient folder that looks similar to the regular ones but it is bigger and they get this big green booklet in it (that book is used to keep track of their disease). I was in-charge of opening up lab orders and marking in the booklet, and it was a really weird experience to open up my first lab order and see the words, POSITIVE, red, all caps ink. It changes their life forever and there were about 40 patients coming to get a check-up another 5-10 that were just getting diagnosed. It was really overwhelming at times.
For the patients that were getting routine check-ups, the doctor would ask them a series of questions and look for other signs and one questions that asked "are you sexually active? Yes or no," if they say yes, we move on to sub-questions that asked "are you letting your partner know you are infected? Yes or no," and about 15 said yes to being sexually active and no to letting their partner know because they are too embarrassed. I was so mad and frustrated, I mean I'm sure it's the same problem in the rest of the world, but in a Africa were so maybe individuals are infected it is almost impossible to stop. I was glad I got to be a part of this clinic, but the stigma associated with this disease really prevents people from being open with their sexual partners and it really made me look at my own life and realize how truly lucky I am.

Wanna-be singer, media icon, and self proclaimed actress Hilary Duff is the latest to be immortalized with her own Barbie Doll. Features for the new Hilary Barbie include plastic expressions during acting scenes, easily removable clothing, hair that can change color at the drop of a hat, and no singing voice.
Mattel corporate spokesman Hal Young said that "We considered giving her no panties, as most little girls tend to lose the doll underwear and leave them naked anyway, but decided to leave them on in case we ever decided to make a Britney doll."
The new toy is on store shelves now, though a little late for the big Christmas shopping rush. "We kind of hope that people will think of this as a last minute gift idea. After all, Hilary is sort of a "B" list actress, and once everything else is picked over in the stores, we think that the doll will be one of the last things left. Kind of goes together, doesn't it?"
The Hilary doll will be perfectly compatible with the Ken doll and all little boy's action figures, including Superman, G.I. Joe, sports figureines, Ninja Turtles, Power Rangers, Batman, and others. The dolls, however, should not be left together too long as the Hilary doll is fickle and will not play too long with any one partner.
In the free accessory kit that comes with the doll, little girls will receive a free Aids test kit toy, free home pregnancy test kit toy, free toy condoms and IUD, free fake bikini wax coupon, and a notebook with "I hate Britney, Lindsay, Shakira, and Christina" stickers. Purchasers will also receive a coupn for a free copy of Duff's not so mega hit latest album and a DVD of Lizzie Maguire's greatest hits.

New England's biotech attorneys must be working overtime, if the week's headlines are any indication.
—Cambridge, MA-based Alnylam (NASDAQ:ALNY) announced it had settled a long-standing legal dispute over the so-called Tuschl I and Tuschl II patent families. The suit, which involved key players in the field of RNA-interference including Alnylam, Max Planck Society, the University of Massachusetts, and the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research, began in June of 2009 and was slated to go to trial this month.
—No sooner did Alnylam wrap up that litigation than it was hit with a huge lawsuit from its Vancouver, BC-based partner Tekmira Pharmaceuticals, which is accusing Alnylam of misappropriation of trade secrets, unfair competition, and more—and is seeking damages of more than $1 billion. The suit centers on technology for delivering RNAi therapeutics—a notorious challenge in the field. For its part, Alnylam called Tekmira's complaint "without merit or foundation," and said it intends to defend itself fully.
—Elsewhere in Cambridge, Genzyme (NASDAQ:GENZ) faced a lawsuit as well. It and Mt. Sinai Medical School are being sued by six patients with Fabry disease over the handling of a rationing system for agalsidase beta (Fabrazyme), Genzyme's treatment for Fabry. Supplies of the drug were short following a temporary closure in 2009 of the company's Allston, MA, plant.
—In non-legal news, Cambridge based Tolerx and its partner GlaxoSmithKline (NYSE:GSK) reported that otelixizumab, their experimental drug for Type 1 diabetes, failed to meet its main clinical goal in a late-stage study called Defend-1. While the companies are reviewing the results of the study, they have suspended recruitment and dosing in a separate late-stage trial of the treatment, which is the lead molecule in Tolerx's pipeline.
—Living Proof, the Cambridge-based maker of beauty products cofounded by famed MIT inventor Bob Langer, raised $16 million in a Series B funding round. The money, from Piper Jaffray Merchant Banking and Polaris Venture Partners, will go toward product distribution and new R&D efforts.
—Ryan profiled the efforts of Edimer Pharmaceuticals to develop a new treatment for patients with the rare genetic disorder X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia, or XLHED. Backed by Boston's Third Rock Ventures, Edimer hopes to seek permission to begin initial human trials of a protein-based drug for XLHED in the second half of this year, according to the startup's CEO, Neil Kirby.
—Gene therapy developer Bluebird Bio of Cambridge forged an agreement with the French Muscular Dystrophy Association (AFM) to develop a treatment for the blood disorders beta-thalassemia and sickle cell anemia. The deal is worth $1.4 million upfront, and entitles Bluebird to as much as $2.8 million worth of manufacturing at Généthon, AFM's bio-therapy research center, to make material for clinical trials.
—Ryan got a peek at Topera Medical, a secretive startup formed in 2008 around research out of the University of California, San Diego. With a new headquarters in Lexington, MA, and a new CEO (former Boston Scientific executive Edward Kerslake), Topera is aiming to develop a catheter-based system for rapidly identifying the source of irregular heart rhythms in each patient.
—Cambridge-based Ariad Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:ARIA) exercised its option to co-promote the experimental drug ridaforolimus with its partner Merck & Co. (NYSE:MRK) for treating soft tissue and bone sarcomas. The move "is consistent with our plans to build a fully integrated commercial oncology company," said Ariad CEO Harvey Berger in a company press release.

FINE AMERICAN MOSASAUR SKULL. ...Click the image to load the highest resolution version.

DescriptionFINE AMERICAN MOSASAUR SKULL
Tylosaurus kansasensis
Late Cretaceous
Smoky Hill Chalk, Niobrara Formation, Logan Co., Western Kansas, USA
Undisputed Emperors of the high Cretaceous seas, the Mosasauridae were a family of serpentine marine reptiles, apex predators, and scourge of the many and varied ocean-dwelling creatures with which they shared the ancient waters. With a heavy, barrel-shaped body and long propulsive tail, it outlasted all rivals. The family was named for the river Meuse, near Maastricht in the Netherlands, where remains of this astonishing creature were first discovered in the late eighteenth century. Over seventy different species have been discovered around the world, however, in Antarctica, Australasia, Europe, Africa, and the Americas from north to south, ranging from 7 feet in length, to the monstrous 55-foot long Mosasaurus hoffmanni of the late Cretaceous Niobrara chalk in Kansas. This is an outstanding example of a Tylosaurus skull, perfectly preserved with superlative, fine-grained bone texture and a wonderful woody patination. It boasts a near-complete set of the robust and extremely effective-looking, recurvate teeth, with a lovely dark brown enamel. These are backed up by the curious secondary array of pterygoid (flanged) teeth on the palate. The Mosasaur had a soft skull and a jaw that could unhinge, and probably swallowed its prey whole. The still-living food would have been greatly hindered from escaping from the deadly creature's mouth by this nasty surprise waiting inside. Such jaws and dentition are a distinctive feature of Snakes, suggesting to Edward Drinker Cope that Snakes and Mosasaurs may have shared a common ancestor (in fact, they are most similar to the modern Monitor lizards). A museum-standard and highly evocative specimen, the skull measures 47 inches long, presented on an ebonized metal display stand, 23½ inches high.

Alternative Methods For Distributing State Aid To Local Governments In New York
This paper simulates alternative distributions of general purpose state aid to local governments under different combinations of criteria: tax capacity, effort, and revenue needs. Revenue needs are based on Tobit estimates of the costs of providing average levels of 16 categories of services. Segmenting the sample into high and low population jurisdictions provided a more realistic set of cost estimates. Available revenues or capacity are determined by multiplying each jurisdiction's tax bases by standard tax rates. A Need-Capacity gap, the difference between needed revenues and available revenues, is used as a needs-based distribution strategy for general purpose aid. Finally an effort gap, based on above average tax efforts was added to the Need-Capacity gap to define a Need-Capacity-Effort strategy.

F. Bertrand has designed a new watch concept called "Watch the Future". This watch is not like any ordinary watch with one touchscreen. It actually comes with more than one small screens where you can interact with them. it's like an iPod Nano bracelet anyway!
According to the designer, this watch could be set to link to your smartphone's applications. You can also let the watch to receive notifications or phone updates direct on the watch.
In the image above, the designer has given examples on what type of applications could be used on the wrist watch, which includes contacts, weather forecast, stock information, SMS, FB updates, GPS Tracker, and so on.
More tasty features that the designer is trying to squeeze in is the innovation of pulse detector and even detecting your emotions via your pulse.
This concept sounds really interesting, but I do hope the watch design could be thinner. I dislike thick stuff, but it's purely my personal opinion
Anyway, this Watch the Future concept is not available yet and no info when it will hit the production stage. Hopefully, F. Bertrand could find his support, or he might want to submit his project to kickstarter if he is serious about transforming his design into a reality.

* Myanmar wiped out polio in 2000, but reinfections occur * Immunity levels need to be raised to avoid new spread
GENEVA, Feb 23 (Reuters) - Myanmar is stepping up its polio vaccinations after the crippling virus emerged for the first time in more than three years, infecting an infant, the World Health Organisation said on Wednesday.
A seven-month-old girl caught a rare strain of polio that can spread when some people in a community are immunised with oral polio vaccine (OPV) and others are not, WHO spokesman Oliver Rosenbauer said. She had not been vaccinated against the disease.
"On very rare occasions, when replicating in the human gut, OPV strains genetically change and may spread in communities that are not fully vaccinated, especially in areas where there is poor hygiene, poor sanitation or overcrowding," he said.
Polio is transmitted in human excrement. Communities that lack clean water, toilets and sewer systems are particularly vulnerable to infections when not enough people are immunised against the virus.
There are no other known cases of paralysis from the strain in Myanmar, which was found in December, according to the WHO. More than 10,000 children have been immunised in response to the discovery and more vaccinations are planned.
"It seems to have occurred in an area with population immunity gaps, so the key is to rapidly raise immunity levels," Rosenbauer said.
Polio attacks the nervous system and can cause irreversible paralysis within hours, with young children most vulnerable.
There has been a 99 percent drop in the number of infections worldwide since 1988, when the WHO, Rotary International, UNICEF and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention launched an effort to eradicate the virus as was done for smallpox.
Polio is now endemic in only four countries -- India, Pakistan, Nigeria and Afghanistan -- compared to 125 when the eradication drive began. At the time, polio caused paralysis in nearly 1,000 children every day.
Myanmar was declared polio-free in 2000 but had a brief outbreak in 2007 when the virus was imported from elsewhere. The military-ruled country is also battling drug-resistant malaria along its border with Thailand. (Reporting by Laura MacInnis; Editing by Elizabeth Fullerton)

text: I am still very new in the hobby I have so far done pork butts, chicken and turkeys. I am planning on smoking up some nice meaty ribs. My question is when they are in my smoker (masterbuilt gs40) will I have to move them around on the racks? Meaning rotate from top rack to middle to lower? Or will they all cooking pretty much evenly? Also is the 3-2-1 the best method for cook these type of ribs if I'm looking at doing them at 225-240℉? And if any one has any tips or recipes please let me know. Thanks in advance and smoke easy.

Whole Foods to Stop Use of Plastic Bags
The Whole Foods grocery chain plans to stop offering customers plastic grocery bags, and instead use only recycled paper or reusable bags.
A rising number of governments and retailers are banning plastic bags, or discouraging their use, due to concerns about their environmental impact.
Whole Foods had previously tried to get customers to buy reusable bags, but the concept did not catch on until they began offering them for 99 cents.
Whole Foods officials estimate that the store currently distributes 150 million plastic bags a year.
Plastic bags are typically thrown away after one use, do not break down easily in the environment, fill landfills, and float into trees, rooftops, roadways and oceans.

Sanaa Lathan
Jump to
Talented, versatile and intelligent were all terms used to accurately describe Sanaa Lathan throughout her career as a supporting and lead actress of film, television and stage. A graduate of the prestigious Yale School of Drama, Lathan quickly landed work on TV soon after making the transition to Hollywood from the New York theater scene. A minor role in the bloody comic book adaptation "Blade" (1998) led to more nuanced performances in projects such as the romantic comedy-dramas "The Wood" (1999) and "The Best Man" (1999). It was, however, her role as an aspiring hoops player alongside Omar Epps in the critical darling of that year's Sundance Film Festival, "Love and Basketball" (2000), that truly marked a breakthrough for the actress. Other roles included a pairing with superstar Denzel Washington in "Out of Time" (2003), a turn as the heroine in the big-budget spectacle "AVP: Alien vs. Predator" (2004), and the reprisal of a character she had originated on stage in "A Raisin in the Sun" (ABC, 2007). Ironically, it was her work off-camera that brought Lathan one of her more successful roles as the voice of the unflappable Donna Tubbs in "The Cleveland Show" (Fox, 2009-13). Whether she was cast in a high-octane action movie or as a member of an ensemble family drama, Lathan consistently brought an undeniable realism and integrity to each and every performance.

Cribbing: Effect on Colic (AAEP 2003)
Cribbing, the oral stereotypic behavior in which the horse grabs an object with his teeth while flexing his neck and sometimes swallowing air, has long been suspected as a cause of colic. A study from the University of Illinois and the University of Liverpool suggests that cribbing increases the risk for entrapment of the small intestine in the epiploic foramen (the passage between the liver and the pancreas). Therefore, if horses are known to have a history of cribbing, then a veterinarian should be aware that this type of colic is more likely, said Aimie Doyle, DVM, of the University of Illinois, during her presentation at the 2003 American Association of Equine Practitioners' convention.
During a retrospective study of horses undergoing exploratory colic surgery at the University of Illinois and the University of Liverpool over an eight- to 10-year period, the presence of cribbing behavior before surgery in horses with epiploic foramen entrapment was compared with the presence of cribbing behavior in horses with other causes of surgical colic. It was found that 54.4% of the horses with colic caused by epiploic foramen entrapment had a history of cribbing, while only 10.2% of the horses with other types of colic had a history of cribbing. Previous reports indicate that the general population of horses has a colic incidence of 5.5-10.5%.
"Cribbing horses undergoing exploratory celiotomy (abdominal surgery) for colic in both university groups combined were 10.45 times more likely to have epiploic foramen entrapment than were non-cribbing horses," Doyle said.
"The predisposition of cribbing horses to epiploic foramen entrapment could possibly be explained by the creation of a change in intra-abdominal pressure and the expansion of the passageway to the epiploic foramen with elevation of the rib cage during cribbing," she continued. "Aerophagia (swallowing of air) could also contribute to the development of the lesion by allowing a gas-filled jejunum (part of the small intestine) to rise dorsally (upward) in the abdomen toward the epiploic foramen. Alternatively, cribbing and entrapment of the small intestine in the epiploic foramen could share predisposing causes rather than be directly related."
The take-home message for horse owners: The horse owner should provide the veterinarian with a complete history of the colicky horse, including whether the horse is a cribber. This could help the veterinarian come to a more specific diagnosis and allow better decisions regarding prognosis and treatment.

Disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong has claimed it's up to the viewers to judge how candid he was during his no-holds-barred chat show with Oprah Winfrey following reports that the American wasn't contrite while confessing to doping in the show.
Armstrong responded to a report in an American daily newspaper, citing an unidentified source, that he was not remorseful when he acknowledged with Winfrey that he used performance-enhancing drugs, Stuff.co.nz reports.
Armstrong also held conversations with US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) officials, touching off speculation that the team leader who demanded loyalty from others soon may face some very tough choices himself.
Armstrong's conundrum lies between whether to cooperate with the authorities and name those who aided him or helped cover up a sophisticated doping ring that he ran on his tour-winning US Postal Service squads.
The American added he had no idea what the future holds other than him holding up his kids.
Armstrong's interview with Winfrey won't begin airing until it's show time in US, but already some people want to hear more under oath before he's allowed to compete again in elite triathlons, a sport he returned to after retiring from cycling in 2011, the paper said.
In addition to stripping him of all seven of his Tour de France titles last year, anti-doping officials banned Armstrong for life from sanctioned sports, it further reported. (ANI)

Google Welcome The Winter Olympics
I've never really had much interest in the Winter Olympics – my knowledge goes as far as Eddie "The Eagle" Edwards falling over (though to be fair he did complete a jump at the 1988 games in Calgary, and I do remember it being on the news) and the theme tune from Ski Sunday.
Still, the Google doodle folk won't let the opening of this year's games in Vancouver go without getting one of their logos out there. This one is a break from the norm in that it spans the whole width of the page:
Great, let the game's begin. I will probably watch the bobsleigh to see if they crash.
Oh and my other Winter Games memory is the woman from the Scottish curling team passing a resemblance to Colin Hendry.

POTTSVILLE -- The Pottsville Apaches have had trouble out of the gate this season and Thursday night it cost them in a 6-4 loss to the Perryville Mustangs in a second round game of the Pope County Classic.
"If we can just get past the first inning, we will be all right," Pottsville coach Jeff Haralson said. "We've had trouble with the start of the first inning all year. Perryville put their bats out and got some hits. We put the ball in play, but right at people."
The Mustangs scored four runs in the first inning and then held on for a 6-4 win in a classic pitching duel between Pottsville's Dylan Hawkins and Perryville tandem Jared Scott and Chris Warren.
Hawkins surrendered three hits in the opening inning, but would allow just three more the rest of the way. The sophomore had 10 strikeouts, including seven of those with the batter watching the third strike go by.
"Dylan wasn't loose in the first inning," Haralson said. "These guys think they are loose in their mind, but they aren't physically. We'll get it worked out though; hopefully pretty quick. After the first inning, Dylan did a great job."
It was a good game played by both teams. Only one error was recorded between the two teams, but that got Perryville an insurance run. The Mustangs scored runs in the odd innings, getting four in the first, one in third and one in the fifth."
Scott and Warren, who combined for 10 strikeouts, brought the heat from the mound, causing the Pottsville right-handers to go to the opposite field. Only two balls were fielded by Perryville's third baseman and shortstop.
Scott, who mostly stayed ahead of the hitters, cruised through the first four innings, allowing just two hits -- a single by Garrett Hill to lead off the first inning and a single to Hawkins in the fourth.
The Apaches though would get a rally going in the top of the fifth as they trailed, 5-4.
With one out, Pottsville got three straight singles from Justin Hayes, Kevin Boyd and Hill, who picked up an RBI when Hayes scored off of his hit.
That chased Scott from the mound, and Warren came in to relieve the starter.
Boyd and Hill would score on passed balls and Josh Cook, who was walked by Warren, would score on a groundout by Hawkins to round out scoring for the inning and cut the Mustangs' lead to 5-4.
Perryville (7-2) would add an insurance run in its half of the fifth when David Morrow walked and eventually scored on the only error of the game -- a flyball to right field that was misplayed.
Pottsville was unable to answer as Warren sat down the next six batters he faced with four coming by strikeouts.
Hill led Pottsville at the plate with a 2-for-3 performance. Hawkins, Hayes and Boyd were all 1-for-3.
Dustyn McAnally led the Mustangs at the plate, going 2-for-3 with a triple. Scott, Coel Warren and Erik Hawkins all got one hit each.
The Apaches will play Dardanelle in the consolation game of the tournament today at 4:30 p.m. in Pottsville. Perryville advances to the championship game and will play Dover at 2 p.m. Saturday in Pottsville.

The Saudi real estate sector is the next candidate to receive government spending and legislative changes. Previous amendments in the housing sector caused strong movement among investment companies.
Many investment companies are planning to take advantage of the Saudi government's development plan, which will provide facilities and loans of up to 67 billion dollars to build 500 thousand houses.
Saudi Arabia recently initiated economic reforms to add clarity and provide transparency to its laws and regulations. The aim of these measures is to attract foreign investment, and provide a driving force directly to the real estate sector. Development of the real estate sector is expected to increase GPD by 7.5% by the end of 2011. Over time Saudi Arabia is expected to have one of the most flexible residential real estate markets in the GCC.
According to a study of the Saudi market, the residential real estate market topped the real estate sector, making up more than 70% of total real estate activity. Saudi Arabia faces massive shortages in the number of housing units. The gap in supply and demand is expected to continue in the medium and long term. Real estate prices have witnessed a remarkable growth of around 100% in some key locations, such as Riyadh.
There are approximately 8 million square meters of commercial office space in Saudi Arabia, estimated to increase 25% by 2012. Riyadh is considered to be the main business district in Saudi Arabia, where approximately 50% of commercial office space is located. Despite having the largest area of offices, the supply doesn't meet the demand for all categories of business.
Religious tourism dominates a wide range of the hospitality services in the country. Religious tourism usually remains immune from economic fluctuations; however the country still plans to support the hospitality sector in the medium and long terms. (Source: www.yallafinance.com)
