|Marital Agreements for Those Over 50
By: Ann-Margaret Carrozza, Esq.
If you are the prospective spouse with more property, the divorce law in your state may cause you to give up more than you feel is fair. This is of particular concern to high net worth individuals in brief but unsuccessful marriages ie. Paul McCartney and Katy Perry.

Patrice 'Candy' Zappa
Patrice Zappa ist Frank Zappa's "little" sister. Her brother Karl always called her Candy because she was so sweet.
Already at the age of 13 she performed with her brother Frank and Ray Collins at the Pit. The Pit was a restaurant which her father had acquired somewhere between 1962 and 1963. It was located at Foothill Boulevard, Upland in California.
Later she performed the music from her brother Frank amongst others together with Nigey Lennon, the Ed Palermo Big Band and with Project/Object.
She has been invited as "Special Guest" to Zappanale #13, where the Zappa statue had been inaugurated together with a lot of other international guests.
2003 she published her book "My Brother Was A Mother".
2011 Candy published the album "To Be Perfectly Frank", which contains both Zappa compositions and miscellaneous audio comments.
She also has written the preface for the jubilee book "25 years of Zappanale".

As the preseason ends and the real season begins, the most important quarterback controversy in the 6,000 year history of the world endures. We will haphazardly monitor the progress of the Mark Sanchez-Tim Tebow competition.
September 2, 2012: Neutral?
The Post is the big winner here, what with all the scoring puns. Excluding Eva Longoria, Sanchez has apparently hosted "a parade of babes this summer" at the golf club he lives on, which is described as "Melrose Place" in the Post write up. Sanchez is also "hunky" and not afraid to show off his "bod."

In our recently published article about the meetings we had in St. Peter Ording regarding the develoment of the class and championship rules for racing we forgot to add an important topic.
All feedback we received from the riders has been forwarded to the executive committee as recommendation from the athletes, and will result in submissions made to the AGM. However, every competitor is highly encouraged to think about what has been said and reported, and to discuss it with his national kite class association.
The decisions in the end are made by the AGM, and only the national kite associations which are members of the IKA have a vote here, so if you want to change things, then get in touch with your class to ensure they are voting in your interest.
One of the main outcomes of the meetings in St. Peter Ording was that there are a lot of opinions, especially about numbers of kites and poduction equipment. We surely learned this year that 3 kites create problems for a majority of riders, so change on this specific matter is quite likely, however it is up to you riders to discuss with your representatives what a good number will be. Same for the other issues.
So again, everybody is encouraged to discuss these (and any other issues) with their representatives, and in return all national kite associations are encouraged to get in touch with their members to get their feedback.

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) – A new analysis of pooled data on omalizumab should help allay concerns that omalizumab (Xolair; Genentech, Novartis) may increase the risk for cancer.
The analysis of 67 clinical trials found no association between omalizumab treatment and risk of malignancy. A causal relationship between omalizumab therapy and malignancy is "unlikely," the researchers conclude in a report online February 24 in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology.
"The data are reassuring," first author Dr. William W. Busse, Professor of Medicine, Allergy, Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, University of Wisconsin Medical School in Madison, noted in an email to Reuters Health.
Omalizumab is a humanized anti-IgE monoclonal antibody approved as an add-on therapy for the treatment of inadequately controlled severe persistent allergic (IgE-mediated) asthma in adults, adolescents, and children (≥6 years of age) in Europe, and in adults and adolescents (≥12 years of age) with moderate-to-severe persistent allergic asthma in the United States.
An initial analysis of pooled data from phase I to III studies of omalizumab showed a numeric imbalance in malignancies arising in people who got omalizumab (0.5%) compared with those who did not (0.2%). These findings are reflected in both the European Union and US labels for omalizumab.
"The difference did not achieve statistical significance and probably related to twice as many patients receiving omalizumab as placebo," said Dr. Busse, who worked on the initial pooled analysis. "Nonetheless, this raised concerns with a new product even though the biology of IgE and the monoclonal did not suggest a mechanism for an increased rate for cancers," he said.
To revisit the issue, Dr. Busse and colleagues conducted an updated pooled analysis including data from 67 phase I to IV clinical trials, including 32 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials. The trials involved 11,459 subjects (7,789 treated with omalizumab).
The primary analysis, which assessed the incidence of primary malignancy in the 32 randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trials, identified malignancies in 25 patients – 14 in 4,254 omalizumab-treated patients and 11 in 3,178 placebo-treated patients.
The incidence rates per 1,000 patient-years of observation time for omalizumab- and placebo-treated patients were not significantly different (4.14 and 4.45, respectively; difference in rates: -0.31, rate ratio=0.93).
The primary malignancies identified were of varying histologic type and occurred in a number of different organ systems. There was no cancer cluster. The fact that the types of cancers noted were diverse makes a cause and effect relationship "unlikely," Dr. Busse told Reuters Health.
"Now, with the increased numbers of treated patients available for evaluation, it is reassuring to find safety with this product. This is especially true as younger patients, down to 12 years of age, receive this as an asthma treatment," he added.
The researchers say additional long-term safety data on omalizumab will come from the 5-year EXCELS study, which will specifically look at the incidence of all malignant tumors and other serious adverse events reported in more than 7,000 patients with moderate-to-severe persistent allergic asthma in a real-world clinical setting.
An interim analysis of EXCELS data comprising 18,860 patient-years in the omalizumab-treated group and 10,947 patient-years in the non-omalizumab-treated treated group showed similar malignancy incidence rates in the two groups (rate ratio 0.88). Final results of the EXCELS study are expected later this year.
The current analysis was supported Novartis Pharma AG and Genentech. Dr. Busse has consultant agreements with Novartis and Genentech. A complete list of author disclosures can be found with the original article.

Cocaine Anonymous Preamble
Cocaine Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from their addiction. The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop using cocaine and all other mind-altering substances. There are no dues or fees for membership; we are fully self supporting through our own contributions. We are not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organization, or institution. We do not wish to engage in any controversy and we neither endorse nor oppose any causes. Our primary purpose is to stay free from cocaine and allother mind-altering substances, and to help others achieve the same freedom.
We use the Twelve Step Recovery Program, because it has already been proven that the Twelve Step Recovery Program works.
C.A.'s Purpose
C.A. is concerned solely with the personal recovery and continued sobriety of individual drug addicts who turn to our Fellowship for help. We do not engage in the fields of drug addiction research, medical or psychiatric treatment, drug education, or propaganda in any form — although members may participate in such activities as individuals.
Cocaine Anonymous is open to all persons who state a desire to stop using cocaine, including "crack" cocaine, as well as all other mind-altering substances. There are no dues or fees for membership. Our expenses are supported by the voluntary contributions of our members We respectfully decline all outside contributions. We are not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organization or institution.
Our program of recovery was adapted from the program developed by Alcoholics Anonymous in 1935. Like AA (with which we are not affiliated), we use the Twelve Step recovery method, which involves service to others as a path towards recovery from addiction. We feel that one addict talking to another can provide a level of mutual understanding and fellowship that is hard to obtain through other methods. The fact that an individual has recovered from their addiction, and is freely passing this experience on to the next person, is a powerful message for someone who is desperately searching for an answer to their own addiction. There emerges a bond among us that transcends all other social boundaries. We hold regular meetings to further this fellowship, and to allow new members to find us and, perhaps, the answers they seek.
Cocaine Anonymous began in Los Angeles in 1982, and has since expanded throughout the United States and Canada, with groups now forming in Europe. Our literature is available in English, French, and Spanish and our first book "Hope, Faith and Courage: Stories from the Fellowship of Cocaine Anonymous" was published in 1994. As of 1996, we estimated our membership at 30,000 members in over 2,000 groups.
Cocaine Anonymous is a Fellowship of, by, and for addicts seeking recovery. Friends and family of addicts should contact Co-Anon Family Groups, a Fellowship dedicated to their much different needs.
focused on a specific substance or used whatever we could get our hands on, we had one thing in common: eventually we all reached a point where we could not stop.
According to C.A.'s Third Tradition, the only requirement for membership is a desire to stop using cocaine and all other mind-altering substances. Whatever you may have been using, if it led you to this meeting, you're probably in the right place. Over time, virtually every single one of us has realized that our real problem is not cocaine or
any specific drug; it is the disease of addiction.
It can be tempting to focus on our differences rather than our similarities, but this can blind us to potential sources of support in our recovery. As we hear other members' stories, the most important question to ask ourselves is not, "Would I have partied with
these people?" but rather, "Do these people have a solution that can help me stay sober?" We encourage you to stick around and listen with an open mind.
With its all-inclusive Third Tradition and First Step, Cocaine Anonymous welcomes anyone with a drug oral jelly australia or alcohol problem and offers a solution. C.A.'s Twelve Steps are not drug-specific, and Cocaine Anonymous is not a drug-specific Fellowship. It doesn't
matter to us if you drank or what type of drugs you used; if you have a desire to stop, you are welcome here!
Cocaine Anonymous World Services, Inc.

Colorado Cold Cases: Murder in 2010 appears to be family feud
State agents have made a second arrest in connection to a homicide that had been until recently called a missing person's case.
John Jacob Kirk, 72, has been arrested for suspicion of accessory to second degree murder in the death of his brother, Richard Kirk, who went missing in 2010.
John Kirk, who was booked into the Crowley County jail, has also been charged with abuse of a corpse and concealing a corpse.
It's the latest arrest of a family member in this case.
The Colorado Bureau of Investigation announced the arrest of David Jacob Kirk, 43, last Wednesday on the charge of second degree murder. He is being held in the Otero County Jail.
David Kirk allegedly killed his uncle Richard Kirk in January of 2010.
Richard Kirk was 61 when he went missing in January of 2010.
The CBI received a tip recently and in conjunction with Crowley and Otero sheriff's offices served a warrant in Swink.
Kirk has also been charged with possession of a weapon by a previous offender, concealing death and abuse of a corpse.
Kirk had been convicted of felony embezzlement in Bent County in 2009 following an investigation by the Colorado Department of Correction's Office of Inspector General.

It Is All About BTC, LTC, ETH, ZEC mining as well as other alternative crypto currencies
There is less than 1 day left for you to join the Stage 1 sale of the Cryptum ICO project for board games development. With one of the project main goals being the development of Blockchain: The Cryptocurrency Board Game along a few more titles. A the end of the first stage of the crowdsale of tokens the project has managed to accumulate a funding in ETH and BTC in the equivalent of about $135000 USD and now with the second stage starting soon more altcoins will be supported for the purchase of Cryptum tokens. You still have the chance to get in during the first stage of the sale, though there is not much time left and as soon as it ends the tokens will be available for transfer by the users who have or will receive them, though there will still be no exchanges to trade them.
The Cryptum Stage II of the crowdsale will come with some changes and updates in the original goals and plans. The most significant being the change from 1.1 million to 150000 CRTM tokens to be sold as well as the mining project being cancelled due to not enough funding available to cover for that as well. After a professional review of Cryptum ICO project one of the recommendations was to focus on the board games development and that is what the project is indeed going to do, with some of the initially announced side projects getting cancelled. Besides the board games development, the Cryptumcoin will be developed as a miner- and trade-centric crypto currency, but more details about it are going to be released at a later time.
– For more details about the changes and the Stage 2 sale of the Cryptum project…
There are less than 7 days remaining until the end of the first stage of the Cryptum ICO that is currently going on with the goal of crowdfunding the first crypto mining board game as well as a future line of board games development. At the current moment there is already enough funding for the development of the Blockchain: The Cryptocurrency Board Game and in fact that development has already started even before the end of the crowdfunding as it was expected that there will be enough funding for it anyway. With the current level of funding however the development of the other board games could see a bit of delay, as will some of the other parts of the project, though there is still some time for things to get better. Then there is the second stage of the crowdsale that will start after the first one is over and will allow for another month of token distribution for people that have missed the first stage with more altcoins being accepted aside from the Ethereum and Bitcoin available for Stage 1.
Up until this moment the Cryptum crowdfunding campaign has managed to secure over $40000 USD equivalent in Ethereum (ETH) and about $70000 USD equivalent in Bitcoin (BTC). So even though crowdfunding board games development via an ICO with crypto currencies may not be the most common thing you see when Initial Coin Offerings are considered there is still good user interest. One of the reasons for the not so big user interest is that the project does not promise to bring you stars out of the sky and the other one probably being the fact that a lot of people into crypto are actually not very familiar with the board games business and market. It is a fact that the board games business is big, with around $5 billion global market, and continues to grow with a very good rate heading to over $8 billion in the next few years according to analysts. Of course it is up to everyone to decide for himself if investing crypto into a project targeting that market is a good idea or not, but there is a huge potential in that market and we are seeing this as very good opportunity at the right moment.
As we have already mentioned a couple of times we have partnered with the Cryptum project for the development of the Blockchain: The Cryptocurrency Board Game as we really see a great opportunity especially with that board game and want to see it become a reality. With the current level of funding the project has received things are already looking great for that particular title and the development has been going on for a while already anyway. Your feedback can also help shape the look and feel of the game, so do take some time and vote for your favorite coins that you want to see in Blockchain: The Cryptocurrency Board Game.

Once a month from 2007 to 2009, MTAA invited artist to present work in our North 6th street studio. Over the years, we presented 24 one night exhibitions and 1 online artwork under the name Over The Opening (OTO).
In this time, we showed a few bands, a few video installations, a tamale instructional, a LAN party, some durational performances, a wall to wall ballon filled environment, a sound work with a low frequency brown note, and a virtual make out. We gave away paintings, held spoken word karaoke, and held an iPod drum circle in a public park. All of these wonderful artworks and more found temporary homes under the name OTO . The one thing we never did, and I always regretted not doing, was present a formal exhibition of art. That is, until now.
Please join as Over The Opening temporally resurfaces for one night on September 7, from 7pm to 10pm, with #otoshow26. The exhibition presents the works of Michael Buckland, Hillerbrand+Magsamen, Steve Ott, Shannon Sberna, and Michael Sarff.

Driving on rural roads may leave a driver with feeling safe and relaxed
but their perceptions may be unfounded. Many factors make country roads risky. One of the big problems?
Drivers' inexperience sharing the road with large farm vehicles.
Here are tips for doing so safely:
- Drive defensively, especially during planting and harvest seasons. "Recognize that you're in an agricultural environment where you might encounter these types of vehicles," says Lee Munnich, director of CERS.
- Slow down. Farm vehicles often travel at slow speeds. To reduce the risk of a collision, begin braking when you see the slow-moving vehicle emblem. Also stay a safe distance back — around 50 feet.
- Pass carefully. Take the standard precautions: Wait for a safe passing zone, watch for oncoming traffic, signal and return to the lane once the vehicle is in your rearview mirror. If the vehicle is extra-wide, wait to pass until the driver pulls over and signals that it's safe. Honk your horn beforehand in case the driver can't see you.
- Yield. Give a wide farm vehicle the right-of-way when it's traveling the opposite direction. Farm vehicles can't always pull over to the road's shoulder safely. If possible, pull onto the shoulder or into a turn-out to allow the farm vehicle to pass.
- Be patient. A driver may appear to be pulling to the right to let you pass when he or she is actually making a wide left-hand turn. Before speeding past, look for driveways, roads or fields where the vehicle might be entering. Also check for hand gestures or lights signaling the driver's intention to turn.
- Know the basics. Following the speed limit and wearing your safety belt is just as important in the country as it is on city streets.
- Take a second look. Before you pull into an intersection or make a move to pass, be sure your path is clear in all directions. Tall crops can create "blind" corners, and farm vehicles could enter the roadway from unmarked access drives on their fields.

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 34 diseños de 7 diseñadores freelance.
BLAM Ads
Internet advertising agency looking for long-term projects with the same designer.
Webmasters, CPA affiliates, developers, advertisers
This is a redesign project for BLAM Ads, an incentive advertising company. I'm getting the logo designed in another project (found here: http://99designs.com/logo-design/co…ogo-44979). I'd like to keep the design as clean as possible. The splash page should have these four sections highlighted:
- Affiliates
- Webmasters
- Developers
- Advertisers
A "contact" button should be prevalent on the page.
Main page should have a "connect" section so people can connect to us on:
- Facebook
- Twitter
All pages should have a bottom text menu with:
- Contact
- About
- Login
- Compliance
- Join
Designs that I like:
- The "Start Now" section highlighted on the right hand side, would like something similar.
- Location and format of "Booking a great holiday..." with the 3 section
- Use of gradients
- Similar to the design above, I like the top half of the page that forwards people directly into our registration process
- The "news" "daily inspiration" and "need a visual?" font used
- Use of "overlapping" layers, creates dimension on the page.
- Simple "explanation" section using icons under the Get Started Now button.

Perspectives: Why Guidelines Differ
Numerous international, national, and professional organizations publish guidelines and recommendations that assist travel health providers in giving the best possible advice to prospective travelers. The CDC Yellow Book is one example of published recommendations. However, it is quickly apparent to both clinicians and patients that guidelines and recommendations differ, sometimes dramatically. Conflicting messages from authoritative sources may confuse patients and clinicians and undermine the credibility of the source. It can be unsettling for patients to receive travel medicine advice, vaccines, and an antimalarial drug prescription from a provider, only to find that the recommendations conflict with what they have obtained from other sources or even heard from other advisors. The skillful travel health provider will be able to help the traveler run this gauntlet of conflicting advice by knowing more about why guidelines differ.
How Are Guidelines Created?
Most guidelines of interest to travel health providers and travelers focus on recommendations for immunizations, prophylactic medications, and self-treatment regimens (such as those for travelers' diarrhea). Guidelines come from many sources. A regulatory agency in each country must review and approve an application from the sponsor of a product in order for the product to be commercially distributed. Regulatory authorities review data from prelicensure clinical trials and also assess the manufacturing process. International organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO) promote their own sets of guidelines. At national levels, agencies such as CDC make recommendations for the use of approved vaccines and medications for travelers. In addition, professional organizations may create consensus clinical practice guidelines based on published medical literature and expert opinion. Travel medicine–specific subscription services use experts to organize and present travel medicine recommendations for clinicians. However, these services can use information and sources that may not be fully validated by national and international authorities. Finally, vast quantities of unregulated opinions are published on the Internet. People new to travel medicine may not be aware of the decision-making process or the source information that results in formal recommendations from these organizations.
Regulatory Authorities
Countries typically have a national regulatory authority which acts as the government body that approves vaccines and drugs. In the United States, this is the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). For the vaccines and medications commonly prescribed in a pretravel consultation, providers are expected to use the products in accordance with the product label as approved by the FDA. The product label is a valuable source of information that is accurate at the time it is published. Manufacturers submit a detailed application that undergoes rigorous, multidisciplinary review. The approved product label reflects the information provided by the manufacturer in response to the requirements specified by a large body of regulatory law developed over many years. Since each country has different laws and requirements, approved products and their product labels may differ from country to country. This difference is then reflected in the national guidelines that relate to that product.
International Organizations
Travelers' health information is provided by WHO's publication International travel and health (the "Green Book") and also in the WHO International Health Regulations 2005. The Green Book is currently out of print; however, WHO updates factual or evidence-based essential information on the International travel and health website (www.who.int/ith). Countries with less-developed or nonexistent regulatory agencies often default to the WHO guidelines, while more-developed countries with resources devoted to travelers' health may be aware of the WHO recommendations but may not be able to reconcile WHO recommendations with their own country's recommendations in every situation.
US National Organizations
CDC provides recommendations for travel health and publishes those recommendations in this book. Subject-matter experts at CDC review information in their area of expertise and formulate recommendations. For vaccines, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) develops written recommendations for the administration of vaccines, including travelers' vaccines, to children and adults in the civilian population. Recommendations include age for vaccine administration, number of doses and dosing interval, and precautions and contraindications. ACIP, which is the only entity appointed by the federal government to make such recommendations, consists of 15 experts in fields associated with immunization who have been selected to provide advice and guidance to the Department of Health and Human Services and CDC on the control of vaccine-preventable diseases (Box 2-1).
Professional Organizations
Professional organizations often develop, write, and publish practice guidelines using committees of experts from their membership. These practice guidelines typically follow an evidence-based medicine approach that links recommendations to the strength and quality of the evidence as assessed by the committee members. The Infectious Diseases Society of America has published a travel medicine practice guideline that many find useful.
Peer-Reviewed Medical Literature and Open Sources
As experience with a vaccine or a drug is acquired over the years, these results are often published in the peer-reviewed medical literature. In addition, people who use these products gain experience over time and develop their own opinions ("experience-based medicine"). The data that would be most useful in deciding how to use a vaccine or medication may not be available in published reports, so expert opinion attempts to interpret available information or provide background perspective.
The use of medications to treat or prevent disease is up to the discretion of the prescribing health practitioner. An example is whether to provide travelers with empiric treatment for travelers' diarrhea, and if so, what medication to recommend and what course to prescribe. The travel medicine practitioner needs to review the available literature to keep up with changing antibiotic resistance and the epidemiology of diarrhea in various destinations.
Why Do Guidelines Differ?
Guidelines in different countries and organizations may differ in substantial ways. Some of the reasons why guidelines differ include availability of products in different countries, a different cultural perception of risk, lack of evidence (or differing interpretations of the same evidence), and sometimes just honest differences in opinion among experts. Occasionally, public opinion may influence recommendations (for example, the widespread adverse publicity about mefloquine that was reported in the media).
Availability of Products
Travel health providers can only use the products that are available to them. Availability is determined by the regulatory approval status of the product and, to a lesser extent, the marketing and distribution plan of the manufacturer. Among the various vaccines and antimalarial drugs commercially available worldwide, the process for regulatory approvals varies greatly. For example, registering a new vaccine or antimalarial drug in the United States is a costly and rigorous process. If the market is insufficient to justify the expense of registration, then a commercial company may not seek registration in a particular country. The standards for licensure vary, and what may be sufficient for one regulatory authority may not suffice for another. For example, primaquine, an option for malaria chemoprophylaxis in the United States, is not registered or commercially available in Switzerland. Atovaquone-proguanil was available for malaria chemoprophylaxis in the United States before many other countries. On the other hand, a vaccine against tickborne encephalitis is approved for use and widely available in many countries, but is not approved by the FDA; therefore, CDC and ACIP guidelines do not include any recommendations for the use of this vaccine.
Even when the same products are available, the recommendations for their use may differ. The injectable capsular polysaccharide typhoid vaccine and the oral typhoid vaccine are examples. In the United States, a booster of the polysaccharide vaccine is recommended after 2 years, but in most European countries, a booster is recommended after 3 years. In the United States, a packet of 4 oral typhoid capsules is dispensed, whereas in Europe, 3 doses are considered adequate. The regulatory agencies may have reviewed the same data and drawn different conclusions, or they may have reviewed different data at separate times and reached different conclusions. Regulatory submissions to various agencies rarely are ready and occur at the same time; therefore, the data available for review by each agency may not be the same, for legitimate reasons.
Perception of Risk
People from varying backgrounds can view the same risk data and come to different conclusions as to the cost and benefit of preventing that risk. For example, national-level recommendations to prevent malaria while traveling to India vary widely. Germany does not recommend using standard prophylaxis for any travel to an Indian destination; standby emergency treatment (SBET or self-treatment) is the recommendation for identified risk destinations. The guidelines in the United Kingdom recommend only awareness and mosquito bite prevention as the default recommendation for more than half the Indian subcontinent, including large cities and popular tourist destinations in the north and south, while recommending an individual risk assessment that is based on activities and types of travel for consideration of chemoprophylaxis. For some defined higher-risk areas, the recommendation is for standard chemoprophylaxis for most travelers, with the option to consider mosquito avoidance for low-risk travelers. However, CDC recommends malaria chemoprophylaxis for any Indian destination except for some mountainous areas of northern states above 2,000 m (6,561 ft) as the default recommendation for most travelers, with consideration of individual risk and benefit. Is one of these recommendations better than the others? Not necessarily, as the recommendations may be based on the national experience with different types of travelers and the risk assessment approach of the organization formulating the national guidelines.
Lack of Evidence
In many cases, limited or no data are available to inform an evidence-based assessment. In this setting, travel health providers defer to expert opinion or an extrapolation from limited data in conjunction with expert opinion. In travel medicine, it is rare to have actual prospective numerator and denominator data on the risk of any vaccine-preventable diseases in travelers. For example, any data on the risk of hepatitis A in travelers would have to account for the immunization rate with hepatitis A vaccine. These data are rarely available, and therefore, we often rely on historical data that captured few actual cases.
Can We Harmonize Guidelines?
The complex nature of how we obtain, evaluate, and verify data, combined with the fundamental differences in risk perception, makes it likely that multiple, overlapping, and at times conflicting guidelines will continue to exist. However, given the international nature of travel medicine and the existence of the International Society of Travel Medicine, conflicting guidelines have decreased in the past decade. In one example of an effort to harmonize guidelines, from 2008 through 2010, WHO convened an international group of yellow fever and travel medicine experts to review available data on yellow fever virus transmission. The product of this collaboration was a country-specific list of yellow fever vaccine recommendations based on the geographic distribution of risk (see Chapter 3, Yellow Fever & Malaria Information, by Country).
In summary, the role of the travel health provider is to become more sophisticated in his or her understanding of the various differences in guidelines, in interpreting this information, and in conveying it in an assured and comforting manner to travelers.

Posted April 13, 2010
KAMPALA, Uganda
As Ahmed Omar Hashi strode toward me, his figure silhouetted in the bright morning light, it was hard to believe this was the same man who left Mogadishu on a stretcher just six months earlier after suffering a near-fatal gunshot wound. As I reached to shake his hand, he pulled me into a bear hug.
• Video Report
• CPJ's Journalist
Assistance Program
Hashi, 43, news editor of Radio Shabelle in
With the help of regional human rights organizations, CPJ got Hashi on a flight out of
Surviving in a foreign country
Hashi insisted on meeting me in downtown
The Somali refugee population has been growing in
We entered Hashi's walled compound through a rusty metal gate. The domestic scene that greeted us in the courtyard—children's toys scattered beneath the colorful, billowing laundry hung up to dry—was far different from the dangerous circumstances he and his family left behind in Somalia. Hashi's wife, Fartun, came out to greet me holding their youngest daughter, 1-year-old Caliya. Her older sister, mischievous 2-year-old Nahyan, ran at her father and was swung up in the air. "This one I sometimes call 'Sherly' after Sheryl Mendez at CPJ," he told me smiling. Of his days in the hospital, Hashi recalls, "Sheryl used to call me every night and speak with me for at least two hours. So I never feel alone."
Hashi's three other children, the oldest of whom is 10, are living in
Hashi and his family share a three-bedroom home with four other Somali refugees, three of them journalists and one a journalist's wife. There is a strong sense of solidarity among the exile Somali journalist community, even though most live far from one another and the cost and risk of getting together can be prohibitive. (While I was visiting with Hashi, though, 10 other exiled Somali journalists stopped in to tell me their stories and say thank you to CPJ.) Hashi benefited from this support network when he arrived in
Today, aside from the scars from two bullet wounds and some continuing chest pain, Hashi appears to have recovered from his attack. His emotional wounds, however, run much deeper and put a strain on his daily life. "Sometimes, when I'm walking, I dream," he tells me. Referring to his slain colleague Hirabe, he adds, "I see my friend being shot in the head." In these moments he has to sit down to avoid stumbling or being hit by a car, he says. Hashi can't know for sure what prompted the Al-Shabaab attack as he and Hirabe were walking through
Whatever the reason, it was enough for someone to fire a gunshot into Hashi's hospital room (it missed him because he was lying down) and for two Al-Shabaab operatives armed with explosives and pistols to return to the hospital the next day to ask about his whereabouts (the two were arrested by government forces).
The memories of the trauma Hashi endured in Mogadishu are intensified by the ongoing threat he perceives in Uganda, where low-security borders and a growing Somali refugee population make it possible for Al-Shabaab operatives to enter unnoticed. In December, he and many of his exiled colleagues received the same text message threat on their cell phones: They would never be safe in
For exiled journalists, many hurdles
Hashi faces many practical concerns as well. Since his arrival, he has relied on financial support from CPJ, the Kampala-based East and Horn of Africa Human Rights Defenders Project (which also paid for English lessons when he first arrived), and other human rights organizations, but this support will eventually come to an end.
When I ask about the possibility of finding work in
His biggest hope today is to reunite his family and move to a third country, preferably the
But Hashi has never been easily deterred.
As if to illustrate this point, Hashi's wife brings out a copy of an Eritrean newspaper to show me. On the cover is Eritrean President Isaias Afewerki sitting across from an intent Hashi. He had been invited along with a handful of other international reporters to interview Afewerki on the occasion of
On his return to
Repeated attacks on his life, in fact, did bring his work to a stop. But Hashi said he is determined to make that a temporary situation, a professional hiatus instead of a termination. "I want to proceed [with] my work of journalism," he told me. "I don't want to stop. I want to work. I want to write about my country."
As we said our good-byes, the first afternoon raindrops landing on the dusty road outside his house, I marveled at how far Hashi had come in six months and at the long, uncertain road that lay ahead as he tried to regroup his family and reestablish a sense of stability in their lives.
Karen Phillips is a freelance writer and consultant for CPJ's Journalist Assistance Program.
Editor's Note: The situation for Hashi and his family is not unique. CPJ's Journalist Assistance program helps journalists at risk by advocating with the United Nations and foreign embassies for resettlement and offering limited financial assistance for these journalists' material needs. We can't do it alone. Visit our Journalist Assistance program and see how you can help.

Don't Forget about Replacement Lamps and Bulbs!!
Choosing a projector has proven to be a difficult task. ProjectorComparison.net is hoping ease a little of the pain. If you have any questions that are not answered on this site then please feel free to contact us directly.
Projector decisions vary greatly depending on the purpose of your purchase. For educators (k-12) you will probably mostly be interested in pricing, because of the bidding nature of volume implementations. My current pick for K-12 educators is the EPSON S3, but that's just me. You can pick one of these up for under $750 at the ProComputing Corporation, and the look great. EPSON also offers great support and warranties which is vital in education institutions.
For business, you may need to travel a lot, so size and weight might be of importance. Be sure to visit our DLP vs. LCD page for some comparisons in size and weight. You may also be wondering, "What's the difference in SVGA and XGA?" Obviously, XGA cost more. Is it worth the difference in price?
Also, PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE THE COST OF REPLACEMENT LAMPS!!! You will be purchasing one or two a year, and the prices on lamps vary greatly among manufacturers. You can browse many lamp manufacturers at www.projectorlampzone.com.

Nate Berg
Nate Berg is a freelance reporter and a former staff writer for CityLab. He lives in Los Angeles.
The Grand Canyon is a great place to study rocks. It's a geologist's dream, really. But for many obvious reasons, the Grand Canyon is also a great place for regular people to take in the scenic natural beauty. Thinking of it solely as a scientific observation site would be absurd.
"But somehow we still make that mistake about the sky and stars," says Chris Luginbuhl. He's a co-founder of the Flagstaff Dark Skies Coalition, a local group that encourages the reduction of light pollution to make it easier to observe the night sky -- both for astronomers and for everyone else.
"Dark skies aren't just valuable to astronomers," says Luginbuhl, who firmly believes that being able to see stars is an important part of life. That he happens to be an astronomer by trade, hey argues, is beside the point.
He and a growing number of advocates are behind a movement to transform cities and communities into better places to observe the night sky. Streetlights are the main target for unnecessarily emitting light directly up into the sky, which reflects off the atmosphere and prevents people and scientists from seeing clearly. This ambient light tends to be greater in concentrated urban areas, but even small towns can suffer from light pollution.
The village of Homer Glen, Illinois, has joined Flagstaff and Borrego Springs, California, as the third "International Dark Sky Community," a designation awarded by the International Dark-Sky Association. The village has adopted and implemented a new lighting ordinance that focuses on reducing sky glow. Officials have replaced 184 light polluting street light fixtures with lower wattage lights that have shielding to block light from pointing up into the sky.
"Horizontal light emitted from 80 to 120 degrees is the worst for affecting sky glow and astronomical visibility," says Rowena Davis at the International Dark-Sky Association. It's also kind of pointless. The whole idea of streetlights is to make it easier for people to see the road at night, not the air space just above it.
Another target is lighting that's too bright. Davis says that some light wavelengths, especially in the blue range, can cause glare that makes driving down streets unsafe. "It almost defeats the purpose of having a light," she says.
The new lights in Homer Glen are about 70 watts, which is a significant drop from the typical 200-watt streetlight bulb. "They're not very bright, but they're bright enough," Davis says. They're also using less energy, which helps offset the costs of installing new lights and shades.
Given its location in suburban Illinois, Homer Glen isn't exactly a prime astronomical observation site. "Nobody's ever going to put an observatory in Homer Glen," Davis says. "It's just too close to Chicago." The city, located about 30 miles away, can be considered a posterchild for light pollution. In November 2008 it was featured on the cover of National Geographic as part of an article about the vanishing night sky in urban areas.
As both Davis and Luginbuhl note, the issue goes beyond stargazing. Light pollution has been found to cause disruptions in the flights of migratory birds and other wildlife like bats and sea turtles. Reducing the amount of city light wasted in the sky can help reduce the impact on wildlife.
Through new lighting technologies and more cognizant lighting ordinances cities and communities can reduce the amount of light pollution they create. And though the problem probably can't be eradicated in the biggest and most densely populated cities, efforts like these can help make it so that when we look up into the sky, we see the lights of stars and not the lights of our cities bouncing back down at us.

Weymouth expects to bond the $33.7M up front and be reimbursed after the library is completed. Considering the greater capital needs of the town like new school buildings, the renovation of Fire Station 1 in North Weymouth, a Fire Station at Union Point (considered part of Weymouth); especially in light of the recent $25M devastating fire there, and other needs like providing ADA-required accessible parking at all public buildings (e.g. town hall, the school administration building and others) along with Weymouth's huge $236M OPEB liability, the idea of a $33.7M library is off the chart.
The drawings show the tot playground behind the library missing and the idea to replace a $3.25M building with a $33.7M building, plus bonding costs of about $9M, none of which will generate any tax revenues, is out of touch with reality. To preserve taxpayer resources, I'd tear off the roof, add a third floor for meeting rooms, spruce the place up for perhaps less than $4-5M and call it a day.

You know what. I have changed my mind. Let's stay united. Let's not split the state.
I am ready to abandon the Telangana cause that I have been a supporter of for nearly 20 years. When I was in my teenage years I began to ask questions and wonder why things are the way they are, I started to unravel the Telangana issue and in the last twenty years, the more I came to understand my region and the politics behind it, the more I became an ardent supporter of Telangana Movement.
Unlike what most commenters assume, my support for Telangana is not a product of brainwashing by the politicians. My stand on Telangana is NOT solely based in support for smaller states for better administration, or based in carving out region along the lines of backwardness, or along the lines of making states on every ethnicity and identity.
My support for Telangana is a product of failure of Indian democracy that has a weakness to marginalize and discriminate certain region clearly along the partisan lines that have roots in cultural, historical and geographical identities. Telangana should have got a chance on its own in new India without being clubbed with a richer, far more literate, and far less feudal, far more irrigated brother in Andhra State. It should have got a chance to prove for itself how it is going to grow up.
A fledgling region that was born out of Nizam State with no history of democratic institutions of British, with no pedigree in advanced school and education system, with no reforms in feudal system, carrying heavy burdens of bonded labor and steep zamindari system, was combined with a far mature region that had experienced the British System for more nearly 200 years where democratic institutions flourished, education system was mature, and feudal system rooted out, and irrigation system well implemented.
It was a sad marriage of unequals from the beginning. It should not have taken place but it did.
Now, my friends of Andhra ask us not to move out of this 50-year marriage. They ask to stay united. They say we can work out things. They implore us to pressurize our fasting leaders to fast for development of the state, not for petty and parochial sentiments to divide the state. They tell us to mature up, stay united, work for development and not division of the state.
I am ready to do that. I am ready to abandon my long standing cause to work things out since my Andhra brothers are so keen on making this marriage work.
Since we have had an experience of being betrayed in the past, we have many worries that the promises won't be kept. So, how about I propose this to my Andhra brothers?
There may be more than 30 contentious issues on the table of Telangana cause. We may not be able to address all of them now. Therefore, I will be reasonable and ask you to take up only 3 issues. I just picked up any 3 from the top of my head. Since we were not able to push through these issues because of partisan politics where the Andhra-Rayalaseema majority ensured these never got implemented, we seek your support to impress upon your politicians to pass these – because without the support of Andhra politicians, even if all the Telangana politicians vote for it, they won't pass them in the Assembly which looks for a majority.
Here are three issues that Andhra politicians should go ahead and implement.
- Pass GO 610 which has been pending since 1985 right away and implement its recommendations within the next 2 years.
- Pass the resolutions for constructing a canal from Nagarjuna Sagar dam to Telangana and complete it within the next 5 years.
- Recreate the Regional Committee along the lines suggested in 'Gentleman's Agreement' such that all major decisions related to Telangana can be taken up in spite of an overwhelming majority of other regions opposing them. This should be inexistence for the next 20 years.
I am not being unreasonable here. All the above points were agreed upon by Andhra politicians in the past. Even if we were to coerce all our Telangana MLAs to get these done, they do not hold the majority to pass these through. Therefore, we need the help of some of your politicians to get these passed. Currently, there are 123 MLAs of Telangana and we need at least another 25 MLAs of Andhra-Rayalaseema to vote in our favor. Please coerce your politicians to support these causes of Telangana people so that we can continue to stay united.
Think of this a test. We have had too many bounced checks. We want to try out if the check will clear this time. If you can make this work, we are going to completely stop all movements towards creating a separate state. We will start believing that you are indeed going to honor your commitments towards your Telangana brothers. Isn't that a good start to rectifying our marriage?
What do you say?

Subway strike suspended in Sao Paulo, may hit Rio
Recommended Video:
SAO PAULO (AP) -- A paralyzing subway strike has been suspended, though union officials warn that if their demands for higher pay aren't met, they will call workers off the job again Thursday -- the day Sao Paulo hosts the opening match of Brazil's World Cup.
Union members voted Monday night to temporarily suspend the strike they began last week, but also decided they would take a new vote Wednesday to determine whether to resume the work stoppage Thursday.
Meanwhile, a union representing subway workers in Rio de Janeiro said members would vote Tuesday evening on whether to strike.
The actions are a severe threat for World Cup fans because the subways in both cities are being counted on as the main way for spectators to get to the stadiums.
Union officials in Sao Paulo met with the state government Monday afternoon but the parties could not agree on the size of a raise for subway workers, who went on strike Thursday and threw already congested traffic into chaos in the city of 11 million.
Sao Paulo union members clashed with police earlier Monday when they tried to hold a rally in a central station. Officers used tear gas and muscle to push the strikers out of the station.
Altino Prazeres, president of the union leading the strike, said almost all of the 8,000 subway employees had been off the job. Marching along with workers on a central street, he said they were not interested in disrupting the World Cup.
"I love soccer! I support our national team. The point is not to stop the Cup," he said. "We want to resolve this today and all are willing to negotiate."
Prazeres said workers were willing to reduce their demand for a 12 percent pay increase if the state-run subway company offered more benefits, but managers have refused. A labor court has ruled that the salary rise should be 8.7 percent.
A spokeswoman for the subway company declined to answer questions.
Sao Paulo state's transport secretary, Jurandir Fernandes, told local reporters that 60 striking workers had been fired.
A Sao Paulo labor court over the weekend fined the union $175,000 for the first four days of the strike and said it would add $220,000 for each additional day the work stoppage continued.
Other groups have supported the strike, saying workers deserve the raise and the government ought to invest more in public transportation. But some people are angry because of the longer commutes.
Adriana Silva, who works as a cashier at a jewelry store downtown, said it had taken her three hours to get to work from the eastern tip of the city.
"Why do this now? Why so close to the Cup?" she said. "Who they end up hurting more is us. This has to stop."
The subway strike was the latest unrest to hit Brazil in the run-up to the World Cup. Teachers remain on strike in Rio and routinely block streets with rallies. Police in several cities have gone on strike, but are back at work now.
There has also been a steady drumbeat of anti-government protests across Brazil blasting spending on the World Cup and demanding improvements in woeful public services. The protests that began last year have diminished in size but not in frequency, and they have sometimes disrupted traffic.
Associated Press writers Joshua Goodman and Bradley Brooks in Rio de Janeiro contributed to this report.

I met U2 that night.....for the first time. I had a roommate that knew U2 stayed at the Four Seasons in Boston, so we went down there. I took a picture of Bono leaning against a wall looking down signing something, a head and shoulders shot, that was amazing. What a wonder it was to see them up close. Could not wait for them to return in August.

Physical security
Physical security of laptops with computer locks
Laptops and computers attract thieves quite like magnets. From dishonest employees to cheap thugs to hi-fi robbers they find computers and laptops easily accessible and ether steal and run away after vandalizing the systems.
Over one million laptops are either lost or stolen every year approximately. While FBI recovers a 2% of the lost or the stolen laptops, they are still clueless on the 300+ laptops they'd lost during hearing of the 9/11 commission. FBI must have lost information which is more valuable than the laptops itself.
A majority of the laptop thefts are due to reckless misplacing alone. While you may have the theft insurance for your expensive Apple iMac, you'd still hate to see your company's business secrets and information reaching into the wrong hands. Do you?
Physical security of laptops and computers
While password locking does help to safeguard critical information reaching wrong people, physical security of computers should be top priority.
Is computer locks or laptop locks the best modes of physical security?
Computer lock or a laptop lock is the best way of securing system or laptop physically. Approximately, about four-fifth of laptops available on the market comes with a Universal Security Slot (USS). The USS will facilitate the laptop to be attached to a laptop cable lock or even a laptop alarm.
No wonder determined thieves and bolt cutter experts will not stop at this, the laptop cable locks should deter the casual laptop lifters who'd be waiting to take advantage of you when you fall asleep at airport lobby or a hotel lounge.
While there are a variety of computer locks including cable locks to LCD monitor and desktop locks to Maclocks to iMac security locks, the best part is that you don't have to spend a fortune on purchasing any of these. The locks that secure single systems and laptops will be in the $30-50 range and those that secure many laptops at a time such as carts fall in the $100 through $1000 (high end will be the feature-rich portable mini classroom like laptop carts)
Most of the computer locks are usually available at regular office stores or these days at several online stores. If you purchase from an online store, you have certain advantages; check and look at the variety of designs and specifications then make selection that suit your requirement and then look for best deals or offers around that otherwise you have no choice to play with if you opt to buy from an offline store.
Consider and check for quality of the cable as well as quality of the computer lock; ask for replacement warranty and ask if the lock facilitates locking of computer and laptop peripherals too.

Authorities are searching "sky, air and sea" for Elizabeth J. Marriott, 19, a native of Westboro attending the University of New Hampshire missing since Tuesday night.
State and local police in New Hampshire and the FBI are investigating. More than 50 people in teams of two to three were out searching for "Lizzi" Marriott and posting fliers that offer a $10,000 reward for information leading to her safe return.
Late last night, Portsmouth, N.H., police confirmed that an investigation at Peirce Island was related to the disappearance. At least 10 investigators were at the scene and the entrances to Prescott Park and Peirce Island were blocked, along with barriers put in place at State, Court and Hancock streets.
This morning, police say there are no new developments in the case, according to Foster's Daily Democrat, a Dover, N.H., newspaper.
During a press conference yesterday afternoon in front of the Chester Police Department, New Hampshire Associate Attorney General Jane Young said authorities do not suspect anything nefarious, but are not ruling anything out.
Helicopters are searching areas where it is possible Ms. Marriott could have drove off the road, Ms. Young said, but it is difficult to detect anything with the many falling leaves.
Ms. Young said her office is marshaling all the federal, state and local resources it can for the search that will continue through the weekend if needed. Authorities were alerted to "be on the lookout" both in the state and nationwide, she added.
Authorities were concerned yesterday about the predicted cold temperatures that were expected to dip below freezing overnight.
Ms. Marriott's father, Robert E. Marriott Jr., is helping coordinate volunteer searches. Last night looking exhausted and admittedly in a "fragile" mental state, Mr. Marriott said they plan to start searching popular hangout areas for college-age kids including the Hampton Beach area.
Mr. Marriott said he is relying on the support of his "wonderful" friends and family who provide him with a shoulder to cry on when he needs it.
"Lizzi, come home," the missing woman's father said when speaking to the press last night.
At the command center in the Town Hall next to Chester's Police Department, Ms. Marriott's aunt Rebecca L. Tyning, from Beverly, Mass., described her niece as very responsible, saying she always lets people know where she is and when she'll be home.
Ms. Marriott was staying with her aunt and uncle D. Rebecca Hanna and Anthony J. Hanna in Chester and commuting to UNH in Durham where she was majoring in marine biology, she said. On Tuesday night, she sent a text to a friend in Dover at 9 p.m.
That was the last contact she had with anyone, according to her family. She was planning to visit a friend in Dover before going to her aunt and uncle's house, Ms. Tyning said. There was a (ping) cellular signal sent from Ms. Marriott's cellphone to a cell tower in Dover around 9:30 p.m. Tuesday night, Ms. Tyning said.
"She is really responsible and let her aunt and uncle know she was intending to he home before midnight after visiting her friend in Dover," Ms. Tyning said. "She is always really responsible about letting people know. This is not like her at all."
Ms. Marriott's mother, Melissa J. Marriott, is frantic to find her daughter, Ms. Tyning said.
Her aunt and uncle notified Ms. Marriott's parents around 6:30 a.m. on Thursday morning, Ms. Tyning said, that she had not come home for two nights. She also had not attended classes or work at Target in Greenland, N.H., on Wednesday, she said.
It was difficult for the Hannas to determine whether Ms. Marriott was in trouble, Ms. Tyning said, because she is getting older and staying out later and making new friends in the area.
"We just want her home," Ms. Tyning said. "We love her. If she's in trouble, she doesn't have to worry about it. We just want to surround her with love."
Ms. Tyning said she was concerned her niece may have had a car accident.
"She is a new driver and new to the area and never commuted to UNH until a few weeks ago," she said.
Ms. Marriott loves marine biology, her aunt said, and has volunteered at the New England Aquarium in Boston the last few years. She and her 16-year-old brother, Robert E. Marriott III, also loved reading the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling and the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Both also worked at Target, Ms. Tyning said.
Earlier yesterday, searchers combed the seacoast as they tried to determine the whereabouts of Ms. Marriott.
The search is getting much attention on Twitter, where people are using the hashtag #FindLizzi. Earlier, they were using the hashtag of #FindLizzie. A Facebook page has also been set up.
