Do Vouchers Lead to Sorting under Random Private-School Selection? Evidence from the Milwaukee Voucher Program
|July 2009Number 379
Revised February 2011
|JEL classification: H0, I21, I28
Author: Rajashri Chakrabarti
This paper analyzes the impact of voucher design on student sorting in the application and enrollment phases of parental choice. More specifically, it investigates whether there are feasible ways of designing vouchers that can reduce or eliminate student sorting in these phases. Much of the existing literature investigates the question of sorting where private schools can screen students. However, the publicly funded U.S. voucher programs require private schools to accept all students unless oversubscribed and to pick students randomly if oversubscribed. This paper focuses on two crucial features of the Milwaukee voucher program—random private school selection and the absence of topping up of vouchers. In the context of a theoretical model, it argues that random private school selection coupled with the absence of topping up can preclude sorting by income in the application stage, although there is still sorting by ability. This design can avert sorting by ability in the enrollment stage, but revelation of new monetary costs (as has been the case in Milwaukee) can lead to sorting by income. Using a logit model and student-level data from the Milwaukee voucher program for 1990-94, the study finds strong and robust evidence that this indeed has been the case in reality. These findings have important implications for voucher design and policy.

UW sponsors brucellosis management tools meeting in Pinedale
University of Wyoming researchers are sponsoring a meeting in Pinedale to find producers willing to offer their experiences and opinions on brucellosis management activities.
The meeting is 1 p.m., Feb. 20, at the Moose Creek Trading Co.
Scientists from the UW College of Agriculture want to estimate the costs to ranchers of using such management techniques as adult booster vaccinations, fencing haystacks, delaying grazing on allotments, spaying heifer calves and running steers, among others.
"When producers need to make a management decision, ideally they would be able to weigh the benefits against the costs," said Dannele Peck, an assistant professor in the Department of Agricultural and Applied Economics. "In the case of brucellosis management activities, the benefits are extremely difficult to measure. You need to know by how much a specific management activity, such as fencing haystacks, reduces the risk of cattle contracting brucellosis, and then place a dollar value on that reduction in risk. Extensive field research is needed to quantify management activities' benefits. In the meantime, however, we can at least provide cost information to producers considering these management activities."
Researchers at the meeting will describe the project, gather preliminary information about producers' thoughts/experiences on implementing strategies and provide opportunities for individuals to confidentially indicate their interest in participating in the project.
"We hope to connect with producers who are already implementing brucellosis management activities, or those who have thought critically about implementing them but decided not to, to learn about the more subtle ways in which a ranch's day-to-day operations are affected by the adoption of each practice," said Peck. "Producers are the only ones who know the ins and outs of ranching well enough to make sure we haven't missed any important costs."
The research is part of a larger program on the economics of wildlife/livestock disease by Peck and Ben Rashford, also an assistant professor in the department. The research started when the two joined the college two years ago.
"It has taken us some time to gain a sufficient understanding of disease issues around the state, such as brucellosis, to begin identifying gaps our research program can help fill," said Peck. "We would ultimately like to be able to compare the benefits and costs of each brucellosis management tool available to producers in order to identify the most cost-effective combination of tools for achieving their desired level of risk reduction."
Research outcomes will be made available through University of Wyoming Cooperative Extension Service publications.
Those interested in attending the meeting are asked to RSVP to help estimate seating and refreshments requirements by calling 307-367-4380 or by e-mailing firstname.lastname@example.com.
For questions about the study, Peck can be reached at 307-766-6412 or email@example.com.

To this end, I am currently enjoying my time as a research assistant in Professor Debbie MaÆs Stereotyping and Intergroup Prejudice Lab. Upon graduating, my professional goal is to pursue my MA in General Experimental Psychology and afterwards a Ph.D in Experimental Social Psychology. I am very pleased to be a part of the Psychology honors program, and hope that my passion for research will prove to be a valuable asset within the field.
Hi, my name is Deborah Brown. My professional goal is to work with Adolescents in a clinical setting, incorporating Animal Therapy.

Classy place outside at Lake Tahoe - some are rather - woodsy with lots of bear decorations. This place is fabulous! I am anxious to go back and take my husband as it was perfect. The driving range is within view - so if you dont golf and some in your group do - you can always hit a bucket of balls and shop in the pro shop! Or just drink wine, shop and watch the course!

- Edgewood's GrillTopazDined on 8/7/2014Can't beat this location overlooking the course and ocean sunset. Excellent service and a varied menu.

- DinnerpinorobDined on 8/1/2014We had a great dinner on the outside deck. Great views and great food. The only negative thing was once the lights came on we were bombarded with bugs which sent most folks inside, kind of defeats the purpose of having great views. It wouldn't keep me from eating there again though....Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2005VIPDined on 7/31/2014The salmon was over battered and sweet potato fries cold and soggy. We talked to the waitress who sent over the manager. I told her we didn't want anything from them, just to let then know the fool was not up to par for such a beautiful place. She said the waitress are supposed to tell the patrons that that is a bad dish and shouldn't be ordered (What?). So why is it still on the menu? She did not apologize, and neither she nor the waitress ever came back to the table other to drop off a check.Special Features:
- The following 85 reviews are from the Brooks' Bar & Deck at Edgewood Tahoe reviews archive.
- Gorgeous!LolaDined on 7/28/2014I only wish this site allowed posting photos. I experienced a magnificent sunset; a rainbow gracing us with her presence. I was greeted by two hostesses; smiles and graciousness. referring to my OpenTable reservation and aware of my request to see the sunset. The waitress was engaging and efficient. I had the Summer Salad with Grilled Salmon.A perfect match to the summer evening. Thunderclouds threatened but proved to be inconsequential providing instead a majestic view. I requested a speciality drink from the bar - a Thirsty Lizard - refreshing and bold. Kudos to the bartender. At no time did I feel rushed or overwhelmed by staff attentiveness. A girl on her own; felt welcomed and at ease. Thank you I will dine again with friends.Special Features:
- Awesome sunset!FunshineDined on 7/26/2014I read reviews online and they were spot on. This was the best place to watch the sunset. Dinner outside on a summer night in Tahoe was romantic and beautiful. Dinner was wonderful. The prices were great! Give it a try!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- brooks experience1satisfiedcustomerDined on 7/26/2014we have frequented brooks at edgewood many times and will continue to do so in the future. the ambiance is exceptional, the scenery is unbeatable with sailboats, parasailing,jet skiing happening on the lake and golfers approaching the 18th green on the golf course. Yet with all the activity around dining is quiet and romantic and the food and service is 5 star. Thank you as always for a great afternoon getaway. as a side note we are locals not on vacation but this is always a special occasionSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- WonderfulPickyDined on 7/25/2014Great atmosphere and service. We were a party of six. Everyone enjoyed their mealSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- pricey perhaps but qualitymaxthesaxDined on 7/25/2014I base my pricey statement on the fact that all the appetizers are 15 bucks or more - not that you aren't getting some bang for your dollar as the kitchen shows an imaginative and deft hand - but when you're meeting friends for a drink and a sandwich and end up spending over 50 dollars a person... it gives pause. I had a burger, which was done to order and very tasty. For an extra dollar I got sweet potato fries instead of regular French fries, and they were done perfectly. Interesting however is that for 15 dollars you get the basic burger, each item is an additional dollar - so my cheeseburger with grilled onions and mushrooms (and the sweet potato fries) ended up costing me 19 dollars. Still, a lovely setting on a perfect day.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Birthday celebrationKbtahoe2Dined on 7/22/2014Kristen and crew made for an amazing 50th birthday dinner.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food and viewsDianaVIPDined on 7/22/2014My husband and I had dinner at Brooks at Edgewood Tahoe on July 22, 2014. We were seated almost immediately upon arrival and given waters. Within 5 minutes our waitress came to take our drink order. Although the bartender refused to make my drink the way I asked him to (really? you're going to tell me how I like my drink???) the waitress brought me a large glass of ice which remedied the situation. I order the Cobb salad and my husband ordered the steak sandwich and we were both extremely satisfied with our choices. I highly recommend Brooks.Special Features:

The Dean's List
The Dean's List is compiled at the end of each academic year (September - May). This is a list of matriculated Stern students who have maintained a grade point average of 3.7 or more in a program of study of at least 28 graded units (no less than 12 units in either the fall or spring semester unless it is a senior in their final semester - see below - at Stern and not including courses taken pass/fail) over an academic year. To be listed, a student must have been assigned no grades of incomplete or N*. GPAs are carried to two decimal places but are not rounded off. Graduating seniors who go part-time in their final semester are eligible for Dean's List honors if they have completed at least 22 graded units (not including pass/fail) and maintained a grade point average of at least 3.75 over the academic year. Seniors graduating in January must complete at least 8 graded units in the immediately preceding fall semester (not including pass/fail) and must receive a semester grade point average of at least 3.8 to qualify.
*Seniors in the Honors Program in the fall semester receive an "incomplete" for that semester's grade. However, participants in this program are eligible for Dean's List honors for the fall as long as they have a minimum 3.7 GPA in at least 8 graded units.
Honors Societies
Graduation with Honors: Distinguished academic achievement is recognized by the awarding of degrees with the following distinctions. Information regarding how these distinctions are determined can be found on the University's Registrar's website.
Beta Gamma Sigma: Beta Gamma Sigma (BGS) is the national honorary society of collegiate schools of business and has 119 chapters throughout the country. Membership in the society is open to juniors whose grade point average places them in the upper 7% of their class and to seniors whose grade point average places them in the upper 10% percent of their class.
To be eligible for membership in BGS, a student must have completed at least 60 points while matriculated at the college for which he or she received a letter grade (a grade of pass is not acceptable). All courses that appear on the body of the Stern transcript and that fulfill the Stern academic program requirements will be used in computing this grade point average. Students are notified of their eligibility to join BGS based on their cumulative GPA in the spring semester of their junior or senior years and are invited to attend an initiation ceremony, typically held in May.

International Airlines Group, the owner of the merged British Airways-Iberia carrier, boosted cargo traffic in September by 1.6 percent year-over-year as the Spanish airline's growth compensated for the U.K. carrier's flat performance.
The September increase bucked the downturn in the global air cargo market and was an improvement on a 2 percent on-year decline in August. But IAG cautioned that "indications for October point to a softer demand picture … in cargo."
IAG's cargo revenue grew 3.7 percent in September while capacity was up 4.2 percent from a year ago. The load factor declined 0.4 percentage points to 75.5 percent.
Iberia's cargo traffic jumped 7.8 percent in September, reflecting the carrier's strong position in the resilient South American market, while British Airways traffic was unchanged from last year.
This left traffic 5.3 percent higher in the first nine months of the year while revenues grew 7.2 percent on 8 percent more capacity.
British Airways World Cargo is due to take delivery of the first of three Boeing 747-8 freighters in late October. The aircraft, which are being wet leased from U.S.-based Atlas Air, will replace the current fleet of 747-400 freighters.

November 28, 2014
RENO, Nev. (AP) - A federal grand jury has indicted a former financial adviser in Reno on charges accusing him of swindling mostly elderly investors out of more than $2 million.
Gary Harrison Lane is accused of carrying out a long-running Ponzi scheme involving U.S. treasury bonds.
The indictment handed up August 8th charges him with 12 counts of mail fraud and five counts of income tax evasion.
The indictment says money investors thought Lane was using to purchase U.S. treasury bonds actually ended up in unrelated E-trade accounts dating to March 2010.
Prosecutors say Lane worked until March 2011 in Reno as a financial adviser for Bank of America Investment Services, which merged with Merrill Lynch.

Photos and Description of this 2 bedroom holiday apartment in Portland - Cumby Homes
2 stories, 2 bedroom, 2.5 bath, walk everywhere, expansive city and water views.
Between the Eastern Promenade and the Old Port stands Munjoy Hill, a friendly, colorful neighborhood with restaurants, a local foods grocer, cafes, art center. Munjoy Hill is a 10-15 minute walk to the Old Port's shopping, restaurants and nightlife ('downtown') - and a 5-10 minute walk to the grassy fields, playground, and beach at the Eastern Promenade (Portland's prettiest waterfront park.)
Our vacation rental is the top two stories of an apartment building on top of the hill, directly facing the Portland Observatory with views to the ocean, the harbor, and over the whole city. Sunny, spacious, and comfortable, the 2-bedroom, 2.5 bathroom apartment has everything you need for your Portland vacation.
Built in 1886 our building combines old world charm with completely renovated apartments. The vacation rental is a two-story apartment with two bedrooms (queen bed and double bed) and two bathrooms on the building's third floor. The master bathroom has a custom tile shower. The hallway bathroom has a bathtub shower. Both bathrooms have radiant floor heat. The fourth floor is an open floor plan with a modern kitchen, den area with Smart TV, plenty of chairs for lounging, and a small powder room. The maple wood floors and modern fixtures are all brand new. The triple-glazed windows (made in Maine!) keep it comfortable year-round.
We live part-time in another apartment in the building. We're happy to help you plan your Portland vacation. This vacation rental is new and we are still putting the finishing touches on the building (minor landscaping, painting.)

About Stephanie Dunn
My husband Mark and I live in rural Maine but have spent the past year in Portland renovating this building. Though our 'day jobs' consist of computer work we enjoyed building our home in the woods and wanted to keep on building. Portland drew us in with fantastic food from the restaurants to the farmers' markets, and kept us returning for live music, art walks, local brews, and beautiful nearby beaches.
Stephanie Dunn purchased this apartment in 2009
Why Stephanie Dunn chose Portland
Once we visited Munjoy Hill we didn't want to stay anywhere else in Portland. The neighborhood is friendly with interesting architecture. We can easily walk to nightlife in the Old Port (without having to hear it while trying to sleep.) I love jogging the trail around the Back Cove and over to the East End Beach. We enjoy making dinner with fresh seafood from the Harbor Fish Market and fresh produce from Rosemont - both within walking distance. We rarely get in a car when we're in Portland.
What makes this apartment unique
The views from our fourth floor are some of the best in Portland. Watch the moon rise behind the Portland Observatory or the sun set over the Back Cove with The Presidential Mountains in the distance. See the fireworks from Sea Dogs games. We often hear 'wow' as people crest the stairs to the fourth floor for the first time. It is a wow apartment.

WASHINGTON — The White House will agree to share with the Senate Intelligence Committee CIA memos from October 2002 that warned the White House against saying that Saddam Hussein was seeking to buy uranium in Africa, a White House official said Tuesday.
Although White House lawyers must work out an arrangement with the committee staff for the documents to be made available, reaching agreement on the CIA memos leaves the committee with only one outstanding White House request -- permission to interview "individuals involved in briefing senior administration officials." The individuals remain unidentified and the request is under study, the White House official said.

Meals on Wheels of Charlottesville-Albemarle is an independent, nonprofit organization, founded in 1977, that provides hot, nutritious lunchtime meals to local homebound people. Our current delivery area includes the city of Charlottesville, the urban ring of Albemarle, portions of Western Albemarle, including Crozet, Greenwood, and Whitehall, and portions of Southern Albemarle, including Scottsville and Esmont. Volunteers deliver meals five days a week, fifty-two weeks a year, including all holidays that fall on a weekday. Meals on Wheels is available to any person who is physically or mentally unable to prepare his or her own meals and who has no one to help out in meal preparation. While some of our clients pay for their meals, the vast majority are not able to do so.
Meals on Wheels provides full or partial financial assistance to clients who cannot afford to pay the cost of their meals. Many of our clients are severely disabled, with financial resources long-since depleted by ongoing medical care for conditions such as diabetes, cancer, or mental disability.
Over the past five years, Meals on Wheels has experienced a significant (on average, ~7%) increase in number of meals served; in 2008, we delivered over 50,000 hot meals. We are currently providing meals to an average of 200 people per month, and, on average, 82% of those clients receive meals fully or partially subsidized by Meals on Wheels.
Meals on Wheels is determined to deliver hot meals to all of our neighbors for whom these meals are medically necessary, regardless of ability to pay. In our 30 year history, we have never had a waiting list, never turned a needy client away; how can we ask a hungry neighbor to wait for food?
We have a dedicated volunteer force of over 270 people – 30 per day -- who pack and deliver meals, some of whom comprise our Board of Directors. Paid staff includes three part time employees. The University of Virginia donates our office space and utilities. Meals are prepared under the supervision of a registered dietician at the Kluge Children's Rehabilitation Center, and special diets are available, including: diabetic, renal, sodium-restricted, vegetarian, heart-healthy, and pureed or chopped food.
Meals on Wheels' operating budget is supported entirely by donations from individuals, businesses and organizations in our community, fundraising events, and payments by those clients who can afford to pay either the full or partial cost of their meals. We are not a United Way agency.
Meals on Wheels is happy to be able to provide "extra" services for its recipients, such as wintertime emergency food bags, birthday cards, Thanksgiving favors, and holiday gifts. These extras would not be possible without the generous help we've received through the years from local businesses and community groups.
Meals on Wheels provides a source of daily social contact for people who would otherwise be hungry and alone. It also allows for earlier release from hospitals and long term care facilities and helps keep elderly and disabled persons out of institutions altogether. It can help older married couples to remain together and gives many people the opportunity to live in their own homes for longer periods of time. Because volunteers check on meal recipients every day, people who live alone can feel safe, knowing that someone would notice if anything were to happen to them.

Recent security breaches have state cracking down
Last year, it was a Vermont State College laptop that was stolen. Last month, it was sensitive information posted on a state web site. Last week, it was a state computer that had been compromised.
In all three instances, sensitive data -- like social security numbers and bank account numbers -- may have gotten into the wrong hands, and the state of Vermont has come across as being lax on computer security.

Guardianship Proceedings
If you are in the early stages of dementia, Alzheimer's or other debilitating and degenerative disease, you should act quickly to make a comprehensive estate plan, including execution of a durable power of attorney, health care proxy and living will (if you don't already have one). Early-stage dementia/Alzheimer's patients most likely still have capacity to make these important, financial- and health-related decisions. If you do not have these arrangements in place, and your disease progresses to the point where you are, or are becoming, incapacitated, you may be subject to a guardianship proceeding in a New York court.
What is a guardian and what does one do?
Under New York's Mental Hygiene Law, a guardian is a person (at least 18 years old), corporation or public agency appointed by a judge to manage (to the extent necessary) your personal needs and/or property. In this capacity, the guardian may be authorized to
- make transactions for the incapacitated person;
- transfer funds for payment of bills or to support dependents;
- deal with Medicaid eligibility issues;
- deal with estate and tax issues.
A guardian makes periodic reports to the court about the continuing condition of the person he was appointed to care for.hide
How does a guardianship proceeding work?
While you should seek legal counsel to help you, this is the basic "how to" of a petition for guardianship for someone else:
- A guardianship case begins when a person files a petition claiming someone else is incapacitated. The petition must include a description of the alleged incapacitated person's (AIP) functional abilities, i.e., what makes the person incapacitated, and what powers of guardianship this level of incapacity warrants.
- The judge appoints an independent evaluator (can be a representative of mental hygiene legal service, an attorney, a physician, a psychologist, an accountant, a social worker, or a nurse), whose job is to meet, interview and consult with the AIP about the AIP's condition and capacity to care for himself or herself.
- The evaluator files with the court a written report with observations and recommendations.
- The judge holds a hearing in the presence of the AIP (either at the court or where the AIP resides if he or she cannot attend court). During the hearing, any party may bring evidence about the condition of the AIP. Sometimes, there is a jury trial on the issues raised during the hearing, especially if the AIP wants to fight the appointment.
- The judge will make findings and decide whether to appoint a guardian and will only do so if:
- There is "clear and convincing evidence" of incapacity; and
- The AIP is likely to suffer harm because of the incapacity.
Under what circumstances will a court find incapacity and appoint a guardian for an adult?
Guardianship is a last resort, and a person is presumed to have capacity unless proved otherwise by clear and convincing evidence. But a judge may appoint a guardian for an AIP after finding:
- "The appointment is necessary to provide for the personal needs of [a] person, including food, clothing, shelter, health care, or safety and/or to manage the property and financial affairs of [a] person"; and
- The AIP agrees to the appointment or the AIP is indeed incapacitated.
For purposes of guardianship, "incapacitated" means that a person:
- Is unable to provide for their personal needs or unable to manage property and/or financial affairs; and
- Cannot adequately understand or appreciate this inability to manage his or her affairs.
In reaching this conclusion, the judge will have many inputs, and will tailor any appointment to the specific circumstances of the individual. Consider the following examples:
- AIP is 90 years old and has moderate dementia. She is able to pay bills and feed herself, but she lives in squalid conditions—her apartment is littered with trash and infested with bugs. She knows that it's bad to live in these conditions, but doesn't seem aware that she is doing so;
- AIP is 62 years old and has had progressive Alzheimer's for ten years. He lives on a pension, and keeps his living space neat. But he forgets to eat and pay bills, and even when he is reminded to do these things, forgets he was reminded after a couple of minutes; and
- AIP is 74 years old and has mild Alzheimer's. She is able to care for herself and pay bills, but she is becoming increasingly depressed and is afraid to leave the house.
Each of these individuals may need a guardian to a greater or lesser extent or not at all; the judge in a guardianship proceeding has the duty to tailor the appointment to give the person as much autonomy as possible and to structure the guardianship to be as nonintrusive to the individual as possible.hide
Who will the guardian be?
A judge will take into account many factors when appointing a guardian. If the AIP has expressed a preference and requested a particular guardian, the judge will generally agree.hide
Someone I know may need to have a guardian appointed or is the subject of a guardianship petition:
- Determine your interest in the case.
- Document your observations about the person's capacity.
- Get in touch with an estate planning or elder law lawyer with substantial experience in guardianship proceedings.

Pandemic Influenza
Influenza is a highly contagious viral infection that causes annual flu epidemics in the United States and other countries. Each year in the United States, approximately 5 to 20 percent of the population contracts the flu; 1 more than 226,000 people are hospitalized; and 36,000 die from influenza infection or a secondary complication.2
- Over time the influenza virus changes at a genetic level. This process, known as antigenic drift, leads to the different strains of flu that circulate among the human population. For this reason the make-up of the influenza vaccine is different every year.3
- In contrast to gradual drift, the influenza virus can also change suddenly and dramatically. A genetic shift occurs when an animal virus gains the ability to infect humans or when human and animal viruses combine to create a new virus to which humans have little or no immunity. If a novel virus has the ability to spread easily from person to person and causes serious illness, then a pandemicI will almost always occur.4 A modern pandemic could lead to 200,000 to 2 million deaths in the United States.5
- The novel H1N1 influenza strain currently circulating was declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization on June 11, 2009. This indicates that the virus was uncontained and being transmitted in communities in multiple parts of the world. Transmission has continued around the world and may increase in the Northern Hemisphere during fall and winter (flu season). Testing has shown that most people have little resistance to this strain, although those younger than 65 years of age appear to be at higher risk. A vaccination against novel H1N1 is currently being developed and is expected to be available by mid-October 2009. Much of the information in this fact sheet is based off predictions for different pandemic scenarios. Some or all of it will not pertain to the current novel H1N1 pandemic. For information concerning novel H1N1, see please refer to resources specific to it.6
- A recent concern for a pandemic arises from the unprecedented outbreak of H5N1II avian influenza that has spread across bird populations in Asia, Europe Africa and the Near East. When it spreads from birds to humans it causes severe and often fatal disease. Most recently Europe has begun to see poultry outbreaks of H5N1. Although the H5N1 strain currently does not have the ability to pass readily from one person to another, given enough opportunities there is a fear that the virus may mutate and become easily contagious.7
- In the past century, three influenza pandemics have occurred. The "Spanish Flu" pandemic of 1918 resulted in more than 50 million deaths worldwide. The 1957 "Asian Flu" and the 1968 "Hong Kong Flu" resulted in approximately 4 million deaths. All three were associated with high rates of morbidity and social disruption.8
- The societal disruption of an influenza pandemic could be significant. Absenteeism across multiple sectors due to personal illness, illness among family members, fear of contagion, or public health measures to limit contact with others could threaten the functioning of critical infrastructure, the movement of goods and services, and operation of institutions such as schools. A pandemic would have significant implications for the economy, national security, and the basic functioning of society.9
- The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that in the United States a "medium–level" pandemic could cause 45 million outpatient visits, 865,000 hospitalizations, 209,000 deaths and a total of 90 million people being sick.10
- Thirty percent or more of the general population are estimated to fall ill during an influenza pandemic and the economic impact of the outbreak could be as high as $768 billion in the US alone.11, 12
- The Federal Government has already taken a series of actions, domestically and internationally, to address the pandemic threat. The National Strategy for Pandemic Influenza and its accompanying Implementation Plan are the basis of current efforts to prepare for and respond to a pandemic. 13
- The goals of the Federal Government response to a pandemic are to:
- Stop, slow and otherwise limit the spread of a pandemic to the United States.
- Limit the domestic spread of a pandemic, and mitigate disease, suffering and death.
- Sustain infrastructure and mitigate impact to the economy and the functioning of society.14
- Vaccines and antiviral drugs could significantly reduce cases of illness and deaths during an influenza pandemic. While these medications can be stockpiled, an effective vaccine can only be made once the pandemic virus has been identified, a process that can take months. Researchers are developing a potential first-line vaccine for one strain of H5N1 and Federal officials have drafted a plan of who would be vaccinated first as high–risk groups in the case of a pandemic.15
- Current research is striving for new antiviral medications that can reduce the severity of influenza and faster testing methods to aid in the monitoring, tracking, and quick treatment of outbreaks.16
I. Pandemic – A pandemic occurs when a novel strain of influenza virus emerges and has the ability to infect and easily pass between humans. Because humans have little immunity to the new virus, a worldwide epidemic, or pandemic, can ensue.
II. H5N1 - Avian influenza A H5 virus can be distinguished as "low pathogenic" and "high pathogenic" forms on the basis of genetic features of the virus and the severity of the illness it causes in poultry.

CNN Anchors Caught On Camera Using Microsoft Surface As an iPad Stand 236
Posted by samzenpus

from the not-meant-to-be-seen dept.
MojoKid writes Since the release of its Surface Pro 3 tablet, Microsoft has pushed their new slate hard. It's as if the company wanted it to overwrite that part of our memory that recalls the Surface RT and its monumental losses. This past August, we saw the company make a big move by deploying a boatload of Surface Pro tablets to every team in the NFL, gratis. All season so far, coaches and even players have made use of them to plan their next course-of-action, and for the most part, they seemed to be well-received. Unlike some of the products Microsoft tries to get us to adopt, the Surface Pro 3 really is a solid tablet / convertible. Unfortunately, at least where the CNN political team is concerned, Microsoft hasn't won over a few anchors, like they have in NFL, when they were supplied with brand-new Surface Pros. In recent shots captured and tweeted about, a Surface Pro 3 can be seen acting as an "iPad stand," and quite an expensive one. As humorous as this is, it might not seem that interesting if it were just one correspondent who pulled that stunt. Let's be honest, some people just like their iPads. That wasn't the case, though. There were at least two commentators using an iPad on the same set, despite having the Surface right in front of them and seemingly hiding it behind Microsoft's darling Windows 8 slate.

In high school basketball action Tuesday night in the Northeast A League, the Colville High girls remained one game behind unbeaten Freeman after recording a 45-42 road win at Lakeside (10-8, 5-3).
The teams battled on mostly even terms until Colville regained the lead for good in the gameŌĆÖs final four-minutes. Senior post Ashley Knight made two free throws with 10 seconds left to give the Indians their final lead. A desperation three-point attempt by Lakeside was off the mark and Colville (13-5, 7-1) had escaped.
The Tribe softball program will hold tryouts on Sunday, Jan. 29 at Colville High School.
Girls trying out for the Tribe 10U, 12U and 14U teams will meet at 10 a.m. on Sunday at CHS. At 10:45 a.m., those players trying out for the 16U and 18U teams will meet.
Director of the Tribe softball program is Jim Ebel.
Flyers explaining the tryouts can be picked up at local schools.
League dual title on the line
There is nothing like saving the best for last.
Colville High faces its biggest test(s) of the Northeast A League dual season this week when they travel to Lakeside and Riverside for match-ups with the Eagles and Rams.
Colville, who shared the NEA dual meet championship with Lakeside and Riverside last season, would like nothing better than to win the title outright this time around.
Colville travels to Nine Mile Falls and Lakeside High on Thursday (6 p.m. start). The Indians will turn around and head to Riverside on Friday (6 p.m.).
Colville High boys face difficult week
The Colville High boyŌĆÖs basketball team, coming off big wins over Newport and Riverside, face their finalŌĆöand most importantŌĆöweek of Northeast A League play this week.
On Tuesday, the Indians (5-2, 10-7), in a three-way tie for first place, were at one of the toughest gyms in the NEA (Lakeside). Colville, with a home win over the Eagles earlier this month, will likely be the underdog this time around against LHS (3-4, 8-9).
So it goes in the wild NEA, where protecting the home court is paramount and stealing a road win here and there the goal.
Indians one game back of Freeman
Providing they can escape a difficult environment at Nine Mile Falls and Lakeside (5-2, 10-7) on Tuesday night, the Colville High girls (6-1, 12-5) will face two-time defending State 1A champion Freeman (7-0, 17-0) Friday at home for a share of the Northeast A League championship.
In picking up wins last week over Newport, Riverside and Post Falls, the Indians played some of their best basketball of the season to date.
Northport High boyŌĆÖs basketball coach Erik Stark will tell you that his team isnŌĆÖt as good as its gaudy 15-2 record.
ŌĆ£We arenŌĆÖt that good,ŌĆØ says Stark, who figured that this would be a building year after losing some key players off the MustangsŌĆÖ State 1B team of last winter. ŌĆ£At least we arenŌĆÖt as good as our record. But we are starting to do some things that good teams do.ŌĆØ
Like winŌĆ"
Newport, Riverside up next for Colville
In as close to a must-win situation as a team could get at this juncture of the season, Colville High dug out a 53-45 win at Chewelah last Friday night in front of a packed house in the so-called 395 Showdown rivalry game.
Sophomore post Matt Hubbard led the Indians (8-8, 3-2) with 24 points and 19 rebounds (two off the school record). Senior post Alex Pond added 12 points and 16 rebounds.
Indians down Chewelah
It was a good week to be a Colville High wrestler last week.
The Indians demolished visiting Chewelah in a Northeast A League dual meet last Wednesday night, 54-24, and finished second in last Friday and SaturdayŌĆÖs 15th annual River City Duals at Post Falls High School.
Host Post Falls beat Colville High 68-16 in the championship dual of the Gold Division.
The tournament featured 24 teams.
Tonasket next for Bulldogs on Saturday
Kettle Falls High junior Tyler Vining led the KFHS wrestling contingent at last SaturdayŌĆÖs Riverside Classic with a championship at 195 pounds.
KettleŌĆÖs Garrett Anderson finished second at 106 pounds; Kyle Hyde, fourth at 132, and fifth place went to Dan Kearney (152) and Jacob Walsh (138).
ŌĆ£The wrestling was intense,ŌĆØ KFHS head coach Joe Kerns said of his teamŌĆÖs showing at Riverside. ŌĆ£The matches Dan (Kearney) lost were by one point and in overtime.ŌĆØ
Cougars face Riverside, Colville this week
The Chewelah boyŌĆÖs basket┬Łball team opened Northeast A League play with a pair of wins last week in three games.
The wins earned the hot Cou┬Łgars a spot atop what promises to be a wild league race.
Back on Jan. 3, the Cougars opened up NEA play at Freeman (7-6, 2-1). Chewelah came out a bit flat and dropped a 62-46 de┬Łcision.
Chewelah was unable unable to get much go┬Łing in the first half against an aggressive, physical ScottiesŌĆÖ team.
