Home to a bevy of superstars and wannabes, Los Angeles is a buzzing multicultural melting pot blessed by around 330 days of sunshine each year. Of course it's a big draw to check out cheap flights to Los Angeles to experience it all first hand. Long regarded as the hub of modern cinema, the City of Angels plays host to the film industry's glitzy night of nights, the Academy Awards, each year at Hollywood's Kodak theater. From the iconic Hollywood sign to the Walk of Fame, there are countless things to do, as well as the chance to enjoy some star-spotting on your Los Angeles vacation!
Film buffs will appreciate a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the magic of the silver screen at Universal Studios Hollywood, and music fans should make a stop at Capitol Records' circular tower on Vine Street. The label's studios are renowned for their unique acoustic properties, and are the home of big-name artists such as the Beastie Boys, Frank Sinatra, and Lily Allen. No matter what movie or music type you are, you will find the right kind of LA hotels for your stay at this mega city that offers it all. Whether you prefer to stay at downtown Los Angeles hotels or at airport hotels, you will find the right hotels in Los Angeles. There are plenty of Los Angeles hotel deals to choose from. Cheap hotel deals in Los Angeles are as readily available to you as Los Angeles resorts for all of you who want to go all out. You can stay at boutique hotels in LA and pretend to be a big shot who made it.
This close to the Pacific, you may just want to stay at one of the many Los Angeles beach hotels. It's the perfect opportunity to relax if the hype and glamour of Tinseltown gets to be a bit too much. Take a break at one of Los Angeles' famous white sandy beaches. Stretching over 72 miles, there's something to suit every taste, from colorful Venice Beach to Malibu's epic surfing beaches. You can even start a cruise from Los Angeles. Or you could hire get an open-top rental car in Los Angeles and take the Pacific Coast Highway from Santa Monica past LA's the multi-million-dollar beachside mansions. This state highway offers one of America's best scenic drives, from wild coastal scrub to expansive beach views. And with a mild year-round Mediterranean climate, you'll find it easy to while away a lazy afternoon in the sun.
Multicultural modeAs the second-largest city in the United States, and with more than 220 different languages spoken by its residents, Los Angeles has a truly diverse identity. Used as a backdrop to films including 'Rush Hour' and 'Lethal Weapon 4', Chinatown is the perfect place to catch an independent art exhibition or sit down to a Peking Duck.
Step back in time along Olvera Street, regarded as the birthplace of Los Angeles, where Mexican and Latino culture is kept alive with traditional market stalls and restaurants. Or check out the many clubs and karaoke bars (noraebangs) in Koreatown, well-known for its thriving nightlife.
Rodeo Drive, babyOf course, Los Angeles is all about retail therapy, and where better to indulge than in one of the city's legendary shopping enclaves. See and be seen along trendy Melrose Avenue, where big international designers vie for attention, or dig out some rare vintage finds on La Brea Avenue. For the ultimate in LA style, have your own 'Pretty Woman' moment on Rodeo Drive, where the rich and famous top up their Chanel, Gucci, and Cartier collections.
A city of style and opportunities, it's no wonder Los Angeles has long been a magnet for travelers and young hopefuls alike. With its mix of fame, glamour, and natural beauty, there's no doubt the magic of the City of Angels lives on.

National Meteorological and Oceanographic Centre
Satellite Notes for the 0600UTC chart on 11 December 2013
Issued at 6:24 pm EDT Wednesday on 11 December 2013
A jetstream and upper level trough is resulting in a broad mass of middle and high level cloud streaming across central and eastern parts of the continent. This mass of cloud then connects with a trough advancing over the Tasman Sea. Scattered thunderstorm activity remains visible over the Kimberley region of Western Australia, the Victoria River district of the Northern Territory and large parts of Queensland.
Low level cloud is affecting southeast coastal parts of South Australia, as well as Victoria and Tasmania. This is due to cold air behind the passage of a cold front over eastern Victoria.

Penn Museum's World-renowned Mesopotamian Collection from Ur is the Centerpiece Of a New Exhibition Exploring Iraq's Ancient Cultural Heritage
PHILADELPHIA, PA—In 1922—the same year that Howard Carter made headlines with the discovery of Tutankhamen's tomb in Egypt—the Penn Museum and the British Museum embarked upon a joint expedition to the ancient site of Ur in southern Iraq. Led by British archaeologist Sir Leonard Woolley, this expedition astonished the world by uncovering an extraordinary 4,500-year-old royal cemetery with more than 2,000 burials that detailed a remarkable ancient Mesopotamian civilization at the height of its glory.

New Exhibition at the Penn Museum Offers Intimate Look at Homelessness and Addiction in Urban America
December 5, 2009 through May 2010
Anthropologist Philippe Bourgois and photographer-ethnographer Jeff Schonberg spent more than a decade among a community of heroin injectors and crack smokers who survive on the streets of San Francisco's former industrial neighborhoods. Their extensive research formed the subject of a provocative new book, Righteous Dopefiend (University of California Press, Berkeley, 2009), and now, a new exhibition.
Righteous Dopefiend: Homelessness, Addiction, and Poverty in Urban America, opens Saturday, December 5, 2009 at the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology in Philadelphia and runs through May 2010. More than forty black-and-white photographs are interwoven with edited transcriptions of tape-recorded conversations, field notes, and critical analysis to explore the intimate experience of homelessness and addiction.
Penn Museum's behind-the-scenes research activities take center stage this fall, winter, and spring, through a new Wednesday lunchtime 12:00 pm series of illustrated talks-the Penn Museum Scholars Series. Attendees are invited to bring along lunch for the short talks and question-and-answer period programs, all "pay-as-you-want" with Museum admission donation. The presentations take place in Penn Museum's Classroom 2 just off the Trescher entrance.
The series, which began in October 2009, continues most weeks, December 2009 through mid-May 2010. Program updates, and descriptions, are posted on the Museum's website calendar.

30 JULY 2009, PHILADELPHIA, PA—One of the great archaeological illustrators of the 20th century, Piet de Jong spent the summer of 1957, at the invitation of excavation director Rodney Young, working at the renowned site of Gordion in central Turkey. While de Jong set about on a series of watercolors reconstructing wall paintings from a previously uncovered "Painted House," ca. 500 BCE, Penn Museum excavators were making a now-famous discovery: they penetrated a large, exceptionally well-preserved grave mound, known as the "Midas Mound" for its association with the legendary King Midas and his family. There, they found a wealth, not of gold, but of royal artifacts and information about the Phrygian people of 2700 years ago.

Traxler as the Museum's Andrew W. Mellon Associate Deputy Director. The three-year appointment begins 01 June 2009.
A new position at the Penn Museum, the Mellon Associate Deputy Director will oversee the Museum's academic programs, seeking to strengthen academic relations between the Museum and the University and increase awareness of the Museum as a dynamic resource for interdisciplinary learning. The position is intended to deepen and strengthen relationships with Penn faculty members and to encourage them to use the Museum's extensive collections as teaching tools for both undergraduate and graduate students, as well as to strengthen relations among the University's various Research Centers and the Museum. Dr. Traxler will also be responsible, working with a faculty committee, for the creation of a new interdepartmental World Archaeology major with courses linked to each of the Museum's research sections, with additional courses in cultural heritage management, conservation, and museology.
Sleepover Programs at the Penn Museum Offered Select Friday Nights
27 APRIL 2009, PHILADELPHIA, PA—Flashlights at the ready! Pith helmets optional; sleeping bags recommended! For the first time ever, children ages 6 to 12 and their parents or chaperones can take an overnight "expedition" to the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology select weekend nights in late Spring and Fall 2009, when the Penn Museum offers a sleepover experience like none other: Forty Winks with the Sphinx. Dates for the sleepovers (advance registration is required): Fridays, May 29th, June 5th, June 12th, and into the fall, September 25th, October 30th (with a Halloween twist), November 20th, and December 4th.
29 APRIL 2009, PHILADELPHIA, PA--PUM II and Hapi-Men, two of the ancient Egyptian mummies on display at the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, have had their share of medical scrutiny: PUM II was both x-rayed and autopsied in 1973, while Hapi-Men underwent an x-ray in 1980.
Early Sunday morning, April 19th, they traveled to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, for yet another medical procedure, and the chance for researchers to find out more about these 2000-plus year old mummies—this time, through state-of-the-art CT scanning. They were joined by Hapi-Men's loyal (mummified) pet, affectionately known as Hapi-Puppy. All three mummies were successfully CT scanned, and returned to the Penn Museum before 9 a.m.—and before the hospital's living human patients' CT scan appointments began.
15 APRIL 2009, PHILADELPHIA, PA—Ian Hodder, Dunlevie Family Professor, Department of Cultural and Social Anthropology, Stanford University, and Director of the Catalhöyük Archaeological Project in central Turkey, became the 29th recipient of the University of Pennsylvania Museum's Lucy Wharton Drexel Medal for archaeological achievement. Dr. Richard Hodges, the Museum's Williams Director, presented him with the medal, the top honor that the Penn Museum bestows on a scholar, before Dr. Hodder presented a special talk, "A Conversation about Community Engagement in Archaeology," to a public audience in the Museum's Rainey Auditorium Tuesday evening 14 April 2009.
Penn Museum and Penn Medicine Researchers Collaborate To Test Promising Medicinal Compounds Once Employed by Our Ancestors
14 APRIL 2009, PHILADELPHIA, PA—Hippocrates (ca. 460-370 BCE), the most famous of ancient physicians, once noted: "Wine is fit for man in a wonderful way provided that it is taken with good sense by the sick as well as the healthy." Now new archaeochemical evidence, backed up by increasingly sophisticated scientific testing techniques, are pointing to a long history of medicinal remedies tried, tested, and sometimes lost, throughout millennia of human history—herbs, tree resins, and other organic materials dispensed by ancient fermented beverages like wine and beer.
Young Friends of the Penn Museum Present Mystery Theater in the Penn Museum's Upper Egyptian Gallery Thursday, May 7, at 6:00 pm
10 APRIL 2009, PHILADELPHIA, PA—Cocktails, hors d'oeuvres, murder and intrigue all unfold among the ancient Egyptian artifacts of the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology at 6:00 pm on Thursday, 07 May 2009 when the Young Friends of the Penn Museum present Mummy Dearest!
10 MARCH 2009, PHILADELPHIA, PA—In earlier years this exhibition might have been only a display of interesting objects. Now, breakthroughs in our ability to read Maya hieroglyphs, new data from new archaeological discoveries, and new scientific techniques allow us to look at the artifacts in this exhibition from a fresh perspective. Scientific research leading up to and incorporated in to this exhibition include:

Received: | 6/5/2006 5:05:46 PM |
Organization: | Nature's Sunshine Products |
Commenter: | Anelia Sutton |
State: | MD |
Subject: | Business Opportunity Rule |
Title: | Notice of Proposed Rulemaking |
CFR Citation: | 16 CFR Part 437 |
No Attachments |
Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing this letter because I am concerned that if proposed Business Opportunity Rule R511993 is adopted in its present form, my livelihood as a Nature's Sunshine distributor will be significantly undermined. The very thought of governmental interference in the free enterprise process strikes fear in the hearts of Americans everywhere. Cherished values are at stake, and the FTC needs to be aware of the dangers of ill considered action. The public is not well served by the FTC's overregulation of an industry that is causing absolutely no harm and more than adequately polices itself by remedying any and all complaints by members of the public. Nature's Sunshine complies with all applicable buy back requirements and always makes it easy for individuals to exit the Company, if the business opportunity is not right for them. While the FTC needs to protect the public where necessary, this proposed rule is hopelessly overbroad and misguided. The seven-day waiting period is unnecessary and will interfere with my ability to enter into lawful transactions and enroll new distributors. People buy TV's, cars, and other much more costly items without such a waiting period. This proposed waiting period gives the impression that something is wrong with the plan. And, the burdensome paperwork, which will not even be read by the public, makes it extremely difficult for the individual participant to fully comply, thereby risking fines and other penalties for such failures, however innocent. By these actions, the FTC does a disservice to the consuming public and Americans everywhere who are trying to get ahead by starting their own business, or earning necessary supplemental income to help support their family. While I appreciate the work of the FTC in protecting consumers, I believe this proposed new rule has many unintended consequences that could be avoided by a less burdensome approach. Thank you for your time in considering my comments. Sincerely yours,

Dexamethasone is in a class of drugs called steroids. Dexamethasone prevents the release of substances in the body that cause inflammation.
Dexamethasone is used to treat many different conditions such as allergic disorders, skin conditions, ulcerative colitis, arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, breathing disorders, inflammatory eye conditions, blood cell disorders, leukemia, or endocrine disorders.
Dexamethasone may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.
You should not use this medication if you are allergic to dexamethasone or sulfites, or if you have a fungal infection anywhere in your body.
Before using dexamethasone, tell your doctor about all of your medical conditions, and about all other medicines you are using. There are many other diseases that can be affected by steroid use, and many other medicines that can interact with steroids.
Your steroid medication needs may change if you have any unusual stress such as a serious illness, fever or infection, or if you have surgery or a medical emergency. Tell your doctor about any such situation that affects you during treatment.
Avoid activities that place too much stress on your joints. Dexamethasone can decrease pain and swelling, and you may be tempted to increase your activity if you are feeling better. Any joint damage may go unnoticed while you are being treated with dexamethasone.
Steroid medication can weaken your immune system, making it easier for you to get an infection or worsening an infection you already have or have recently had. Tell your doctor about any illness or infection you have had within the past several weeks.
Avoid being near people who are sick or have infections. Call your doctor for preventive treatment if you are exposed to chicken pox or measles. These conditions can be serious or even fatal in people who are using steroid medication.
Do not receive a "live" vaccine while you are being treated with dexamethasone. Vaccines may not work as well while you are using a steroid. Ask your doctor when you can safely receive a live vaccine after your dexamethasone treatment ends.
Steroid medication can weaken your immune system, making it easier for you to get an infection. Steroids can also worsen an infection you already have, or reactivate an infection you recently had. Before using this medication, tell your doctor about any illness or infection you have had within the past several weeks.
Other medical conditions you should tell your doctor about before using dexamethasone include:
liver disease (such as cirrhosis);
kidney disease;
a thyroid disorder;
a history of malaria;
a muscle disorder such as myasthenia gravis;
glaucoma or cataracts;
herpes simplex infection of the eyes;
stomach ulcers, ulcerative colitis, or diverticulitis;
depression or mental illness;
congestive heart failure;
high blood pressure; or
if you have recently had a heart attack.
If you have any of these conditions, you may need a dose adjustment or special tests to safely use dexamethasone.
FDA pregnancy category C. This medication may be harmful to an unborn baby. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant during treatment.
Dexamethasone can pass into breast milk and may harm a nursing baby. Do not use this medication without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.
Steroids can affect growth in children. Talk with your doctor if you think your child is not growing at a normal rate while using this medication.

There's an old saying: "It's not what you know, it's who you know." In business, this is especially true. Entrepreneurship can feel lonely, however it doesn't have to be. But what's the best way to build your network? And how do you bring your advisors together and collaborate effectively once you've found them? Before you begin building your network, it's important to have clear goals in mind so that you can establish what kinds of expertise to look for. Perhaps you need assistance finalizing your business plan or developing an idea that's recently been formulated. Having clear goals in mind is not only useful for you, but also to any potential mentors you may approach. If they know what you're looking for, they can determine for themselves if they are the right candidate, or recommend someone they know with the qualifications you're seeking.Once you've identified your goals and the needed skills, it's time to network. Start by looking at the connections you already have, such as former coworkers or past business connections. LinkedIn allows you to search your 1st and 2nd degree connections by keyword, showing results of people whose profiles contain those keywords. The Groups feature within LinkedIn may also be helpful in finding new connections as you engage with those who fit your mentor criteria.Locally, the Small Business Association (SBA) can connect you to mentors based on the skills and expertise you're looking for. Also, seek out local chamber of commerce or economic development organizations, which are often able to provide introductions to experts by industry, and are a good way to learn about nearby networking events. Alternately, online social event sites like Meetup.com allow you to sign up to receive alerts about local events, or "meetups" related to your interest or industry. Once connections are made, whether to newly identified advisors or with longstanding mentors, it's important to have a single place where everyone can come together to collaborate. For some, this may mean standard face to face meetings. But you may find that not all your advisors can be in the same place at the same time. An online tool such as our own IdeaCrossing can provide a virtual space for collaboration. Each registered entrepreneur is provided with his/her own private online collaboration space, called a Workspace, where advisors can convene and build off one another's insights and experience, by starting discussion threads and sharing documents. Entrepreneurs can also consider using virtual face-to-face meeting tools such as Google+ or Skype. Whatever your approach, it's important to keep in touch with all your connections on a regular basis, whether it's giving them a quick status on your venture, or seeking advice on a new idea. Building your business advisor relationships is a long-term commitment, so don't just focus on how they can help now, but how they can continue to contribute as your business evolves.

Running Rigging
How do you decide which line is best for your application?
Selecting the right running rigging for your sailboat can be compared with choosing the right beer for your fridge or the best ice cream for your freezer. Okay, it's a little more complicated and technical than picking a brew or a dessert. There are a lot of choices, and your selection is often more a matter of taste than function. Competing manufacturers offer similar products, like the Endura Braid, Warpspeed and XLS Extra.
1. Decide which construction style of line is best for your purpose.
Performance Single Braid
Use for cascades and purchase systems, sportboat/performance racing boat backstays and runners, low-stretch and high-strength applications. See V-12, STS-12 SK-75, STS-12 SK-90, AmSteel-Blue.
Performance Double Braid
Use for headsail halyards that control low-stretch sails that cannot tolerate any creep or stretch. See T-900, V-100.T-900
Dyneema Cored Double Braid
Use for low-stretch sheets, halyards and controls. Excellent durability and much lower stretch than polyester double braid. See Endura Braid, Warpspeed, Dinghy Control, Flight Line.
Blended Core Double Braid
Use for economical upgrades from stretchier polyester line for club racers and performance cruisers. These lines include many customized blends of fibers that are tailored for specific properties like low stretch, reduced weight, good handling and reasonable cost. See VPC, XLS Extra-T, Racing Sheet Pro, MLX
Blended & Polyester Single Braid
use for sheets and hand-adjusted controls. Knobby or fuzzy single braid lines are easy to grip. See Bzzz, Regatta, Regatta Lite, Racing Sheet, Salsa.
Dinghy Double Braid
Use for small boat halyards and controls. See Dinghy Sheet XL, Dinghy Star, Dinghy Light
Micro-Sized High-Tech Double Braid
Use for no-stretch lashings, micro-sized purchase systems and control lines. See T-100, Mini-V, Spyderline.
Polyester Double Braid
Use for many applications calling for affordable, durable multi-purpose line, such as sheets, control lines and halyards on cruising boats, handheld control lines on all types of boats and for durable covers applied over high-tech cores where they need protection from cleats and clutches or wrap around winches. See Sta-Set, Pre-stretched 8-plait Polyester Dinghy Line, Economy Polyester Double Braid, Sta-Set X.
Micro-Sized Polyester Braid
Use for utility cords and flag halyards, tiedowns and general lashing. See 1/8" Braided Polyester Cord, Polyester Braid Mini-Spools.
Anti-Chafe Covers
use for heat-resistant protection on high-tech cores where they wrap around winches or need abrasion protection. See Poly Tec, Dyneema Anti-Chafing Sleeve, ARC.
Three-Strand Line
Use for running rigging on traditional boats. See Classic Filament Three-Strand, Classic Spun Three-Strand, Vintage Three-Strand, Spun Polypropylene Three-Strand. Classic Filament Three-Strand
2. Check the breaking strength and diameter
Consider that hand-adjusted lines feel most comfortable to grip at about 5/16" to 3/8" diameter. Other parts of a purchase system such as a cascade vang can possibly be smaller diameter. The most highly-loaded purchases may need super-strong low stretch line. If your application will include knots, remember that many high-tech lines suffer about a 50 percent reduction in their working loads when tied, instead of spliced. Knowing how to splice is a useful rigging skill. If you haven't acquired that talent yet, West Marine Rigging offers splicing services.
3. Match the diameter of the line to the application.
Greater line holding working loads are achieved by increasing the diameter of the line. If necessary, consider asking West Marine Rigging to customize the line, sleeving the line or inserting core in the rope clutching area to increase the diameter and line-holding performance.
4. Know the fibers, and what they do best.
How much stretch can you tolerate? Polyester is supple, strong, economical but stretchy. Dyneema doesn't stretch—it creeps. Polypro is light but less durable, and Vectran is strong enough to lift a Chevy truck, but more costly.
5. Check the Line Selection Guide
below for some recommended choices. Don't be afraid to be creative and experiment. Look at other boats that are well rigged and borrow the good ideas you encounter. Have fun while you make your boat easier to sail!
Running Rigging Fiber Guide
Workhorse line fiber and the durability champ for decades, but stretchier than newer fibers. Holds color well and has great abrasion resistance. Perfect cover for double braid lines, protecting low-stretch cores from UV radiation and chafe. Polyester double braid like Sta-Set works great for frequently adjusted lines, like main and jib sheets, or moderately loaded control lines. Very flexible, easy to handle, polyester is still the fiber of choice for most applications on cruisers and club racers.
Almost no stretch, no creep, and absorbs little water. Works reliably at a high percentage of its breaking strength, so it's great for highly loaded applications. Like Technora, Vectran is among the strongest core materials available. UV resistance and durability is moderate. Often used for upwind sail halyards under static loads, like permanently hoisted roller-furling headsails. Used both stripped and covered, for highly loaded purchase systems and travelers, and other no-stretch applications.
Dyneema / High-Modulus Polyethylene (HMPE)
Several patented variations of this fiber have slightly different characteristics, but Spectra-Dyneema-HMPE has the highest strength-to-weight ratio, low stretch, and impressive maximum working loads. Very slippery with good hand, but poor knot-holding ability and a low melting point (300°F). Does not absorb water, but it will experience gradual "creep" or permanent elongation under sustained static load. Good core upgrade from polyester double braid, with almost no stretch. Often used uncovered, or with a polyester cover where it encounters a cleat or the drum of a winch. Great in multi-part purchase systems, or for replacing 7x19 wire in trapeze lines. A very popular line with excellent longevity; it is also light, so it floats. Newest, strongest, lowest stretch, and with nearly zero creep are Dyneema lines made from a variant called SK-90. It stretches 10-15 percent less than the most common type of Dyneema, SK-75, and is also 10-15 percent stronger. New England Ropes' STS-12 SK-90 and Dinghy Star (from FSE Robline) are two ropes made with this fiber.
Very low stretch and no creep. Like Kevlar, Technora has poor internal abrasion tolerance, fair chafe resistance, and is damaged by UV light. Blending with another fiber, like Dyneema SK-75 in the core of T-900 line, helps reduce the durability problems associated with Technora, and lets its strengths shine. Technora needs protection with a polyester cover, or coating on the core, if stripped.
A light, relatively inexpensive, relatively stretchy fiber, polypropylene is frequently blended with other fibers like Dyneema to add bulk for easy handling. Samson uses this combination in their XLS Extra-T braid, which is stronger and lighter than polyester, but less costly than 100 percent Dyneema. Polypropylene floats and doesn't absorb water, but has poor UV resistance. Its stretch is similar to polyester, so it works well for sheets, especially light-air spinnaker sheets, dinghy main and jib sheets, and other frequently adjusted control lines. Durability is not its strong suit, so more frequent replacement is needed.

Scientists fear mild swine flu could mutate |
Wednesday, 06 May 2009 18:47 | |||
TOKYO--Swine flu has reached Asia, with South Korea reporting its first suspected case yesterday. Like the vast majority of other cases outside of Mexico so far, it is mild, but virologist Kennedy Shortridge warns that is no reason for complacency. He says that the farther the virus spreads, the more chance it will mix, or reassort, with other flu viruses in circulation and turn into something more lethal. "The prospects for change [in the virus] are considerable and worrying," he says. Shortridge is a professor emeritus at the University of Hong Kong, where he led investigations into the initial emergence of H5N1 avian influenza in 1997, when it killed six of the 18 people it infected. The city squelched that outbreak by slaughtering all 1.4 million chickens and ducks in the territory. H5N1 re-emerged in 2003 and since then has claimed 257 lives while devastating poultry flocks throughout much of Asia and parts of Africa. Shortridge has long advocated global cooperation in the surveillance of circulating flu viruses to spot emerging new strains so that public health officials could plan a response and drug companies could get a head start on making vaccines. He was among the first to suggest that pigs might act as mixing vessels for new combinations of viruses. And the swine flu, now spreading from Mexico, "fits into the mixing vessel hypothesis," he says. Analysis of flu specimens by Canada's National Microbiology Laboratory in Winnipeg and at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, Georgia, have found that the virus is made up of pieces of human, swine, and avian viruses from North America, Europe, and Asia. The mixture "gives an order of complexity we really don't understand at this point," Shortridge says. In particular, he says he is concerned that this patched-together virus might not be stable and could easily reassort with other viruses encountered in a human or animal host. The virus has now spread to Asia, where the H5N1 virus is circulating. Shortridge says there are strains of human H1N1 in circulation in many areas that are resistant to Tamiflu, the drug of choice for treating the disease in humans. He speculates that swapping one or more genes among these viruses could result in a virus that is more pathogenic or more easily passed from person to person or both. As a precaution, Shortridge suggests sequencing as many viral samples as quickly as possible to watch for any telltale changes in the virus--a massive job requiring worldwide cooperation. He says such cooperation seems to be off to a good start, thanks to the experience of dealing with the 2003 SARS crisis and recent efforts to prepare for an influenza pandemic. "There is a success story in this in that the world is alert" to the possibility of a pandemic, he says. Still, he adds, even better collaboration and communication will be required in the face of a threat that could change overnight. Note: Destruction of livestock, swine or poultry in impoverished regions of the globe, where animals exist in close proximity with humans does not represent the solution to emerging infectious disease challenges. OIE/FAO must be consulted in relation to preventing unwarranted mass depopulation of livestock, while the WHO and United Nations need to focus on establishing a humanitarian support system for all countries that are in the midst of an international economic emergency. What is our current state of surveillance, containment and control, focusing on the United States as our global public health reference point? Earlier in the day, I watched the CDC press conference on CNN, the director noted their strategy to provide broader access to tests because up to this date the CDC lab is the only lab in the U.S. that has had the tools to conduct these tests. CNN cut the coverage of the press conference after that comment. Once again I emphasize, these emerging infectious microbial challenges are important aspects of the co-infection challenge in both veterinary and human public health. At Los Alamos (Future of Biodetection Systems http://www.lanl.gov/bioscience/biodetection.shtml : 2006), a key topic discussed in the breakaway group led by Hong Cai and myself (Final Workshop Analysis http://www.lanl.gov/orgs/b/Biodetection_Proceedings/Biodetection_Futures_Analysis.pdf : Pg. 11-13) , was the importance of access to microarray capability, analysis of the sample and accessible genomic level bioinformatics information broken down for clinical interpretation. We are in desperate need for a pathway to fast track the production of (1) reagents for molecular diagnostic tests and (2) access to molecular diagnostics capability (human/veterinary): In our view, a federal or state official equipped with an Internet-linked detection device should be on the site of any suspected foreign animal disease outbreak in the U.S. within 4 hours or less of notification so that vigorous informed control measures backed by positive diagnosis can be implemented nationally within 6 hours. -- U.S. Agricultural and Food Security: Who Will Provide the Leadership? http://www.humanitarian.net/biodefense/fazdc/usaha_fadp.html , Centaur Science Group, Washington DC, 2003. I would like to see this objective accomplished in all 192 member states of the United Nations.

Audi parking system advanced with rearview camera makes parking easier. Using ultrasonic sensors to measure distance, Audi parking sysem emits an intermittent warning tone to indicate how far the car is from an obstacle. As the distance decreases, the warning tone becomes faster. It first sounds when the car is a little over 5 feet from the obstacle, becoming continuous when only 8 inches remain. Optional front Audi parking system (available only on the A8 L) can be switched off in special situations such as stop-and-go traffic. Rear Audi parking system switches on automatically when the vehicle is in reverse.
