Hartwick's Russo Receives Eighth Grant from Autism Research InstituteJuly 28, 2014
Visiting Assistant Professor of Biology Dr. Anthony (A.J.) Russo has received another grant from the Autism Research Institute (ARI) in the amount of $9,650. This funding will allow Russo to continue a study of anti-GAD antibodies in autism. The funds will be used to continue a project that senior biology major Gavin Jenkins has been working on with Russo. Additionally, these funds will be used to support several other projects with the involvement of several of Hartwick's science majors.
This grant is Hartwick's eighth from the ARI since the fall of 2011. Overall, the Institute has supported research at the College since 2009 by funding 13 projects for a total of nearly $100,000.
"I am very grateful to the Autism Research Institute (ARI) for their support, which will help me, along with science students at Hartwick, continue to investigate the relationship between biomarkers, neurotransmitters and the possible causes of autism," said Russo. "Currently, eight Hartwick biology majors are working on projects funded by grants from the ARI, and we expect more to be involved in the upcoming semesters, thanks in large part to the Institute."
The ARI has a 44-year track record of pioneering and leadership in the autism field. The Institute provides families and professionals with the information needed for making informed choices, in order to better the lives of individuals of all ages on the autism spectrum. ARI accomplishes these goals by conducting and sponsoring cutting-edge research and by disseminating these findings in many languages for the benefit of researchers and families worldwide.

My educational philosophy and the way I teach all of my classes is very simple. Students learn mathematics best by doing. Students taking any of my mathematics classes will be actively engaged in the learning process by watching video lectures before attending class and then during class participating in whiteboard work in small groups. This learning environment allows me to give each and every one of of my students feedback on their mathematics notation and problem solving skills every time we meet for class. This in turn enables students get all of their questions answered while they are solving problems during class and then they are prepared to do their homework and assignments with a greater understanding of the material.
I have 20 years of teaching experience at the high school, community college and university level. I am a former collegiate volleyball player and former high school volleyball coach. I feel any type of athletics and any form of exercise is important for a healthy, happy and full life.

The Kingswinford karter who's followed in
Nigel Mansell's footsteps
Posted: June 17, 2004|
As kids, some of you may have been lucky enough to own a prized go-kart. Usually fashioned by your dad out of scrap wood, old pram wheels, and anything else that came to hand, these afforded hours of daredevil pleasure racing around the streets.
The modern sport of karting is a world away from these much-loved, home-made affairs. It had inauspicious beginnings, being invented by British airmen who strapped lawnmower engines to traditional go-karts to race them in order to alleviate boredom between missions. It is now one of the fastest growing motor sports in the world, and with major races covered on television, karting offers all the thrills and spills of professional motor racing. Enjoyed by young and old alike, and women as well as men, karting is very often the first rung on the ladder to Formula One success. It was said to have been an obsession in the Schumacher household, and other past karting champions include Ayrton Senna, and Britain's very own Damon Hill, Jensen Button and David Coulthard. In fact, many of Formula One's current stars still use karts to perfect their driving skills and improve their reactions. However, many of you will be surprised to learn that a current British Champion in the sport is actually a local lad, Garth Dyer. Garth originally hails from Solihull, but has lived in Ridge Road, Kingswinford now for two decades.
Garth became attracted to the sport in his twenties. A friend owned a kart, and invited Garth to take it for a spin on the track at Birmingham Wheels. Garth had always loved any form of motor sport, and was immediately hooked. He eventually bought his own 100 cc kart, and his immediate flair and innate skill caught the attention of a local team who raced gearbox karts, which have four gears resembling a motorbike transmission. Not long afterwards, Garth heard that a gearbox 210 kart was up for sale, but it was no ordinary kart; this had put its owner among the top five karters of the country. Garth bought it, and within a short time he was breaking the course records set by the kart's previous owner!
Garth decided to compete in the 210 Challenge Short Circuit category, 210 being the cc of the engines in the karts, the biggest in their class. Many top-class racing drivers, including Nigel Mansell, came to Formula 1 via this class, and Garth is proud to say that on some of the many trophies he has won, Nigel's name is also inscribed as a past winner.
It was no mean feat to enter this competitive category. There were strict safety checks, including an Arks test, which all Formula 1 drivers also have to pass. Garth was monitored on several tracks and had to produce a reasonable lap time, before finally gaining the signatures of six stewards before he was granted his A Class racing licence.
Despite karting being the cheapest form of motor sport, it is still an expensive hobby. Top class karts cost in the region of two or three thousand pounds, and added to that are a myriad of travelling, accommodation, clothing, mechanical and equipment expenses. Of course, since the sport is run on a strictly amateur basis, there are no cash prizes, even for the championship title, which would offset these costs. Many karters are now turning to sponsorship to help them compete at the highest level, and while Garth is sponsored by his own business, the signage and screen printing company Allstick Signs and Print Ltd., like many others on the sport he would welcome further investment.
While safety checks are very stringent, karting can be highly dangerous; people have been seriously injured, and even killed. This comes as little surprise when you take into account that 210cc Villiers kart engines deliver some 40 bhp and reach speeds in excess of 85 or 90 miles per hour on short circuits, and 130 miles per hour or more on long circuits such as Brands Hatch or Donington. There is scant protection for the driver, and the karts have no suspension beyond the air in their slick tyres, meaning that the driver is only an inch or so from the track surface. Garth, however, admits that he has been lucky: "I've had a broken kart a few times, but never any broken bones!" In fact, Garth witnessed the worst accident he has ever seen last weekend, when a fellow competitor fell over a fence while running towards his kart and dislocated his shoulder!
However, with such breakneck speeds involved, karters leave nothing to chance. An iron determination and bags of skill are required, as even the best kart in the world alone will not win a race. Equipment, however, can make a difference, and karts will run differently from track to track. Garth keeps copious notes about each race for future reference, as even a difference in tyre pressure of 3 psi can make or break a performance.
Garth entered his first serious season in 2001/2002, and even he concedes that it was a very difficult year. There would be thirty karts on the starting grid, and as a novice, Garth had to start at the back. Astonishingly, Garth came fourth overall in this first season, the highest position ever achieved by a novice, and an achievement that led to him being dubbed the "Novice Rocket" in karting circles!
Garth topped this accomplishment last season, with a stunning performance in the breathless final race of the season at Shenington in the Cotswolds, taking second place and 313 points overall to clinch the title of 210 Challenge 2003 Short Circuit Champion. Within two short seasons, Garth had reached the very pinnacle of the sport, adding yet another handsome trophy to the glittering haul of silverware at his Kingswinford home.
Sadly, mechanical problems have dogged Garth during the first two meetings of this season, and he is toying with moving up a class to the 250 cc category. However, the 210 Challenge is renowned to be a friendly category, with real sportsmanship shown on the track and a genuine camaraderie off it, so Garth is still reluctant at the moment. He certainly has no plans to retire from competitive racing just yet. "It's a great thrill on a track," he explains. "The anticipation virtually knocks you out, and the buzz of winning is like passing your driving test every time. As soon as the butterflies in my stomach stop, then it will be time for me to give up."

The trophy for county boys swimming champion almost always resides at Parkview.
The slip-ups during the Panthers' era of dominance have been rare, with just two loaded Collins Hill boys teams stopping a streak of 16 Parkview county boys titles in 18 seasons through the 2009 season.
But the Panthers saw a run of six straight county titles end last year, when rival Brookwood won its first county boys championship since 1990. The Broncos, also on a run of back-to-back state championships, now face the task of defending a county title.
That could prove tough since many coaches consider Parkview the favorite to win the boys county meet, which begins today and concludes with finals Saturday at the West Gwinnett Aquatic Center. The Panthers beat Brookwood three times during the regular season.
"With the Brookwood boys being defending state and county champions, I'm sure that many people consider us the favorite to repeat (at county)," Brookwood coach Greg Puckett said. "The Parkview boys however have a strong and deep team that has already beaten us three times this season. I therefore think that Parkview is the favorite going in and we will just have to do our best to compete with them."
Parkview is seeded first, fifth and third in the three crucial relays, while Brookwood's relays are seeded third, second and second.
The Broncos' only top seed in an individual race is Aidan Sweeney in the 500 freestyle, though his older brother Conor, a two-time state champion last season, also is in that race.
Parkview's only top seed is Ricky Lehner, who has a shot at the county-meet and county record in the 100 breaststroke. His qualifying time of 58.62 seconds is close to the marks of Norcross' Michael Russo from 2001 and 2002 -- 57.79 at county and 57.74 at state.
But depth is more important that individual victories in the county scoring format.
"Every season when the time comes to prepare for county, it is almost impossible to guess what the other schools will do with their top swimmers," Parkview coach Jack Gayle said. "Our guys want to win, but they understand that there are some big obstacles standing between them and a return to the top spot in the county. The biggest one is maroon and gold. We'll see what happens."
The maroon-and-gold team also is the girls favorite at county. Brookwood has six county girls titles in a row, as well as 10 of the past 11 and 15 of the past 18.
The Broncos expect a huge challenge this weekend from Mill Creek, as both teams have five No. 1 seeds in the meet. Brookwood is seeded first in two of the three relays and Kelsey Gouge has the top time in both the 50 and 100 free, while Rachael Dudley is No. 1 in both the 100 backstroke and 100 butterfly for the Mill Creek girls.
"(Our girls) are probably the favorite going in but we will have some tough competition from Mill Creek," Puckett said. "Both teams have a handful of very good athletes that should place very high in their events, but the championship will probably come down to how the third or fourth swimmers for each team do in their individual events."

First Environment works with organizations interested in assimilating Life Cycle Management (LCM) into their systems. LCM consists of protocols, practices and tools that are used to assess the impacts of a product or process systems over its life cycle. A manufacturer is responsible not only for direct production impacts, but also impacts associated with inputs, use, transport and disposal of its products.
We assist organizations in taking a more holistic view of how they develop and build their products. We also support forward-looking companies seeking to address issues of climate change and sustainability, providing strategic planning, greenhouse gas management, stakeholder analysis and outreach, sustainability reporting and more.
Highlights of our Life Cycle Assessment team's work in the field include experience developing international LCA standards (the ISO 14040 series), and providing a significant portion of the data for the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Building for Environmental and Economic Sustainability (BEES) software for the selection of environmentally preferable building products.
Our approach to LCA focuses on identifying both the qualitative and quantitative indicators of a product's environmental 'footprint'. We strive to understand the uniqueness of the product market, and identify organizational, design and management solutions that make the most sense for the business as a whole.
Our extensive portfolio of projects give us a broad and deep level of knowledge and credibility in the Life Cycle Management arena. Some example projects include but are not limited to oxygenated gasoline, production of cement clinker from a power plant, transformer oil, general purpose cleaners, floor covering, healthcare textiles, as well as experience with metals and mining industries.

Wide receiver Dez Bryant missed practice Wednesday and Thursday because of a thigh bruise from Sunday's game against the Jets. He says he will practice Friday and be ready to play against the 49ers on Sunday.
The Cowboys are hoping he is ready to go and can play a full game. Bryant caught three passes in the first quarter against Jets and none the rest of the game as he labored through the injury he suffered on a punt return.
He will be used sparingly on punt returns the rest of the season to avoid injury if at all. He will likely not return punts against the 49ers.
Notes: Cornerback Terence Newman, who missed the preseason and the season opener with a groin injury, has been ruled out of the 49ers game for precautionary reasons. He suffered a similar injury in the preseason in 2008 and came back too quick, resulting in a hernia and surgery in October.
"We thought we got him back out there a little quick (then), so we're being ultra sensitive," Jerry Jones said. "If this were the Super Bowl this weekend, he'd be playing. We would take the risk if it were at that juncture of the season. But with the full season and where we are, then we're giving him extra time."

Reviews of Camp Hwange
They do not necessarily represent the views of Expert Africa.
Camp Hwange review
A great camp! Again this camp met our expectations and requirements, Dharmish our guide was so enthusiastic and passionate about the area and the animals that you couldn't help but be carried along with him. Anything sited we were out of the vehicle and tracking on foot, we got very close to elephants, tried to sneak up on a leopard with its kill and then track lions for 2 hours. This enthusiasm was experienced throughout the camp from all the staff, the camp was well managed and the food was wonderful.
The two other guides at the time George and Washington (yes really!) were always available to answer questions, between them they knew every bird, mammal, reptile, insect in Africa including the flat spiders in our room. This is a camp that we would go back to given the opportunity.
Camp Hwange review
Very good game viewing and excellent guiding. The camp is up-to-date and well-run. We would have preferred to have one guide for the 3 days (we had a different one each of the 3 days and felt a little like spare parts to be added on to other groups)
Travel to and from the camp by road was long and tedious compared to some of the excellent flights we had between other camps.
Camp Hwange review
We had an excellent time at Camp Hwange and were impressed by the standard of Walking Guiding having ecperience this in other countries where it was good but not as good as this.Read more about the whole safari
camp hwange feedback
I think a great mistake has been made re our reservations at Camp Hwange for 3 nights. This was to be our last safari before leaving Southern Africa perhaps for the last visit we will ever make. You originally had offered us something for $500/nite/person and we said it was too much . You then said you would find a more reasonable rate but came up with the same price but a different camp. We never paid this much but thought it would be like the top lodge in Sabi Sands so we decided to treat ourselves. Now here we are and I tell you at the most this is a $200/nite/person. It has wonderful food, very nice staff and knowledgeable guides. But…..the camp itself is pretty average. For instance no tub, , no pool, they Said they would do laundry but not underwear!!! There is a waterhole but it is not lighted and there is no glass on the windows facing the hole just screen so you cant look out at night. The tent room and bathroom were average. We stayed at a top lodge in Nambiti a private game park just outside of Ladysmith and it cost $200 per night per room! It was top notch. 4 star, called Nambiti Plains. I could name others as well.
Now let us get to the game. ….We took two 5 hour drives and saw 3 impala and 2 jackels and some nice birds. When asked about lions they said the pride left almost a year ago and they have one male and two female somewhere. We did a walking tracking for 2 hours which was wonderful but no lion. When asked about Rhino they told us the Rhino are off limits to visitors. When asked about elephants they told us there is a bull elephant that we spent hours trying to find to no avail. When asked about Wildebeasts we were told they are at the other end of the park. An on and on and on. We were told it is hard to spot game because of the tall grass but in the last three weeks we have been to three game parks and all had tall grass and we saw many animals.
The worst part was it was cold and rainy. Everyone had to eat in three layers of clothes and a fleece. The firepit was outside but it was raining.there was no source of heat inside the boma so we couldn't sit in the lounge and relax and talk. There was no source of heat in our room so the only way we could get warm was to go to bed! Finally on the last night we suggested to the staff that they pull down the canvas to close off the open spaces. That cut the wind and cold a bit but meant we couldn't look out.
We do want to say the staff was wonderful, the food excellent and the guides great! Also, I understand we can't control the weather or the animals.I just went on in the above paragraphs to tell you how it was. I guess the big issue here is how much we paid for average accommodations. Everything I said above was just to tell you how it was. Even if weather etc was perfect the rate is way too high. It is possible that Zimbabwe is more expensive that South Africa or Kenya or Tanzania but not this much. Hopefully, it was an honest mistake and there will be a refund.
I do want to reiterate that staff, food, guides were all outstanding. On the last night the manager even gave us hot water bottles for our bed. also, the walking trips were great.
I do hope we can settle this to everyone's satisfaction We will be back in the US in 2 days.
One other thing. When in vic Falls we met several people who stayed at Little Mokoro (sp?) and because it was off season they were given 1/2 price !! Plus they saw huge prides of lion, Wildebeast, elephant etc.
Expert Africa comments
Expert Africa are sorry that these guests didn't enjoy their stay at Camp Hwange. We have responded fully to them, and wanted to note a few general points here too:
Camp Hwange is not a luxurious lodge - nobody has ever claimed that it is; we recommend it for exceptional guiding and a great wilderness experience.
These travellers felt that Camp Hwange was poor value compared with South Africa's Sabi Sands area. We feel that these two areas offer such widely contrasting experiences that direct comparisons are difficult to draw. In general, South Africa's reserves are much smaller; the animals and environment are more managed; densities of visitors are much higher; and game viewing is more predictable, sometimes to the point of being controlled.
In retrospect, we should have talked to these travellers rather than just accepting this booking over e-mail. Had we done so, we would have explained that nowhere in Hwange offers a Sabi Sands experience - thus this was the wrong trip for these travellers. We're sorry that we didn't insist on at least one telephone conversation before we accepted this booking.
Camp Hwange is like many other lodges in southern Africa: laundry won't accept underwear for cultural reasons - but washing powder is provided.
These guests were very unlucky with weather and the game. This year (2014) Hwange had very heavy, late rains that continued into April, when these travellers visited. This made it unseasonably cold and wet, and the game viewing was difficult. These guests did see game, including elephant and lion, but the viewing wasn't as good as they, or we, would have expected - even at this time of year.
A great safari experience at Camp Hwange
We were picked up as we had been told and enjoyed a great ride (game drive) all the way to the Camp. Our guide, Dharmesh, is surely one of the best as he gave constant comments on every animal or bird that we saw. Lunch was quite tasty, and we enjoyed watching animals at the pan where we ate.
What a wonderful experience we had at Camp Hwange. The staff were waiting to welcome us as we drove to the main lodge, and a refreshing glass of juice was handed to us as soon as we left the truck. The lodge and surrounding area was very neat and clean. Our chalet was so very comfortable and also quite clean. The shower with hot water was welcome at the end of each day. The mosquito netting was dropped while we were gone--we were never bothered by mosquitos.
Dinners were varied and always good as were the lunches when we stayed out all day. We felt like we were receiving a college education with all the information Dharmesh gave us. We learned so much from him. He explained what might happen and what our behavior needed to be. He knew where the animals were usually found so we saw many each day--we have no complaints about experience with him or Camp Hwange. We highly recommend Camp Hwange!!!
Camp Hwange review
Camp Hwange was my first ever Safari experience and was utterly magical. Zimbabwe is such an amazing country and Camp Hwange is the perfect setting. The Camp is beautiful and I cannot fault the place.
Wildlife was sublime (you may not necesaarily tick off "the big 5) but what you do get is a much more authentic game watching trip with far fewer people. We barely saw another soul. The guides are incredibly knowledgable and you get to do "walking safari." Getting out of the jeep is liberating. You can analyse footprints and then go and track elephants (for example). You feel almost intrepid and it's amazing to get so close to the animals and they don't know you are there.
In terms of food, I can honestly say it was excellent. Not a bad meal. The accomdation is also perfect. Would recommend this place to the most discerning of clients.
Great camp!
Fantastic location with excellent guides. We particularly enjoyed a full day out visiting different locations which included a walk and lunch cooked al fresco.
Knowledgeable guides give so much to the whole safari experience. We even managed to pack in an additional early morning safari on the day of our departure which was unexpected and thoroughly enjoyable and to add to the pleasure, there was a full English before we departed!
Wonderful 3 days at Camp Hwange
We spent three wonderful days at Camp Hwange in October. The lodge was fantastic, the rooms comfortable and open, and absolutely loved the view over the watering hole from the shower. The staff were great, and the food was arguably the best we'd had amongst all our lodge stays.
In terms of guiding, Julian and Washington were simply exceptional. It didn't feel like a tickbox trip at all, and we found ourselves in front of a scene for an hour or more many times, be it Goose with the lionesses or the about 70 elephants having a mudbath in the moonlight. The walks and drives were always interesting, engaging and very educational.
Camp Hwange was a brilliant experience, and we can't wait to go back.
game, knowlege of wildlife and hospitality
Put together hours spent with passionate knowledgeable guides following and viewing a very wide variety of game with a charming and very hospitable dining room and relaxation lodge and you have the recipe for delighted guests.
The individual chalets were far from sparse, as they were described in one write up, and this camp is bound to be very successful.
Camp Hwange review
You drive for about 1.5 hours from Vic Falls airport to Hwange national park entrance, only comment is you do drive through an open cast coal mine for about ten minutes which isn't a problem but a bit of an eye opener as the lorries spill a lot of dust which unnecessarily pollutes the nearby bush, why not put a cover on the load and problem solved ?
Met by Stephen our guide for the tour and in my opinion the best most helpful guy you could want.....say no more!
After a long drive/safari we arrived at Camp Hwange. The open air dining room bar and lounge are really lovely nicely furnished and well thought. There was a camp fire to the front and ahead of this a large watering hole with resident hippos, excellent. Dinner was delightful, all guests and guides present which we liked as we could hear others stories and swap ideas for the next day. The staff were fantastic and we loved the table design they clearly spent time creating and was much appreciated thanks.
It was our first safari so not sure what to expect, more seasoned veterans we met said the game is not abundant here but they thought this added to the thrill when you did encounter game. Each drive we did whilst quiet for long periods was always eventful in the end. By the end of each day we had seen enough game to satisfy us at least and can include Lions, Baboons, Buffalo, Giraffe, numerous antelope species, vultures etc in our sightings. We also got a fleeting view of a leopard. The big thing is elephant ! loads of elephants ! This was the best thing for us just observing dozens of different herds all over the watering holes and bush was fantastic.
Our room was great, a large tent like structure very nicely done with lovely bedding and mossy net, big open shower and everything you needed. Just one thing is it could really do with a mini bar so you can have a cold drink when you return to the room. The single thermos flask they leave in your room doesn't do it for me although I know this may not be possible due to power supply but it would be great for spoiled travellers.
All in all a very nice stay just what we had hoped for and compared to many others not too deadly cost wise.

Hepatitis B - the facts
Page content: What is hepatitis? | What are the symptoms of hepatitis B? | What happens if you have chronic hepatitis B? | How is hepatitis B spread? | How can I avoid becoming infected with hepatitis B? | Can I be immunised against hepatitis B? | Who should be immunised? | Does the vaccine have side effects? | How effective is the vaccine? | Is there a treatment for hepatitis B? | What should I do if I think I have just been exposed to hepatitis B? | Further information
What is hepatitis?
Hepatitis is the name for several different illnesses which all cause an inflamed (swollen or painful) liver. The liver is a vital part of the body. If it does not function properly, it can cause serious illness and sometimes death.
Drinking alcohol in large quantities or taking drugs or medication can cause hepatitis. It can also be caused by certain viruses. The different types of virus are known by different letters - A, B, C, D and E - so the different forms of the disease are called 'hepatitis A', 'hepatitis B' and so on. Sometimes people shorten the name, and say 'hep A' or 'hep B'.
These viruses are spread in different ways, so the ways to prevent people catching the disease are different too.
See information about other types of hepatitis:
What are the symptoms of hepatitis B?
Some people who are infected with hepatitis B do not become very ill. Some do not become sick at all. Children are less likely to have symptoms than adults even when infected.
In more severe cases, hepatitis B can cause:
- Loss of appetite
- Nausea and vomiting
- Pain in the liver (under the right rib cage)
- Fever
- Pain in the joints
- Jaundice (when the eyes and skin become yellow).
Normally these symptoms disappear in a few weeks, but even when the person feels much better he or she may still be infected with the hepatitis B virus and remain infectious.
Most adults who catch hepatitis B recover completely and do not get the disease again. But a few people become very ill, and some even die.
What happens if you have chronic hepatitis B?
People who become infected with the hepatitis B virus may develop a long-term hepatitis B infection, which occurs when the virus stays in their body for their entire life. This is called chronic hepatitis B.
People with chronic hepatitis B often have no symptoms, but may eventually suffer illnesses such as chronic liver disease or liver cancer. Even while they seem in good health, they can still infect other people.
About 95 per cent of adults who become infected with hepatitis B will clear the infection by themselves and require no ongoing treatment.
Babies and children who are infected are more likely than adults to develop chronic hepatitis B. This occurs more commonly in some population groups because they have higher rates of chronic hepatitis B. These population groups include people from China, South East Asia, the Pacific Islands, sub-Saharan Africa and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders.
How is hepatitis B spread?
Hepatitis B is a blood-borne virus, which can be sexually transmitted.
In people with hepatitis B, the virus can be found in the blood (or serum) and to a lesser degree in their body fluids such as semen or vaginal secretions.
Hepatitis B can be spread following exposure of non-intact skin (open cuts) or mucous membranes (such as the genital tract) to infected blood or, less efficiently, after exposure to infected body fluids.
The hepatitis B virus is present in the blood of an infected person. If infected blood enters another person's blood stream, that person may become infected.
The disease can be spread by:
- Sharing equipment used for injecting drugs.
- Piercing the skin with equipment which is not properly cleaned and sterilised.
- Sharing razor blades or toothbrushes.
- One person's blood coming into contact with open cuts on another person.
People who receive blood transfusions in Australia have a very low risk of getting hepatitis B. The Australian Red Cross Blood Service currently estimates this risk as approximately 1 in 739,000 (see transfusion.com.au for further information).
The hepatitis B virus can be spread if people have unprotected sexual intercourse, especially if there is blood present.
Mother to Baby
Mothers who have chronic hepatitis B sometimes pass the virus to their children. Some babies are infected during birth or shortly after birth. In Australia newborn babies are quickly immunised to protect them from infection.
Is there a test for hepatitis B?
Yes, there are different blood tests that can be performed to determine if you are or have been infected with hepatitis B.
It is important to remember that there is a period of time when a person may be infected with hepatitis B but the usual testing does not detect it. It can take up to six months for the blood tests to confirm infection and follow-up testing may be required.
There are also other tests that can assess liver damage or the likelihood of future liver damage from hepatitis B. The interpretation of these tests can be complicated and specialist advice is needed so consult your doctor.
What should I do if I already have hepatitis B?
About 95 per cent of adults who become infected with hepatitis B will clear the infection by themselves and require no ongoing treatment.
If you have long-term hepatitis B you should:
- Consult your doctor who will monitor your condition and, if necessary, refer you to a specialist.
- Ensure your partner and close contacts are immunised against hepatitis B.
- Completely cover any cut or wound with a waterproof dressing.
- Practice safe sex.
- Have safe levels of alcohol and eat a well-balanced, low fat diet.
If you have hepatitis B you should not:
- Share injecting equipment.
- Donate blood or body organs.
- Share personal items such as toothbrushes or razors.
Although there is no legal obligation to do so, you may wish to discuss your condition with your health care provider, for example, doctor, dentist, allied health or complementary health providers.
How can I avoid becoming infected with hepatitis B?
Everyone can take simple steps to protect themselves.
- Be vaccinated against hepatitis B.
- Use condoms every time you have casual vaginal or anal sex.
- Oral sex is normally unlikely to spread hepatitis B, but it is best to avoid oral sex if you or your partner have herpes, ulcers or bleeding gums.
- If you inject drugs, never share needles and syringes or other equipment such as spoons, swabs and water. Always use sterile needles and syringes. These are available from needle and syringe programs and some chemists. To find out where you can obtain needles and syringes or, if necessary, how to clean them, contact DIRECTLINE on 1800 888 236. Always wash your hands before and after injecting.
- Wear single-use gloves if you give someone first aid or clean up blood or body fluids.
Can I be immunised against hepatitis B?
Yes. There is a good vaccine available, and immunisation is the most effective way to protect against hepatitis B infection.
For adults to obtain maximum protection you must receive three doses of the vaccine. The second dose is given one month after the first dose, and the third dose is given five months after that.
Remember the hepatitis B vaccine only protects against hepatitis B - it does not protect people from other hepatitis viruses.
Who should be immunised?
Immunisation recommended for everyone and especially if you:
- inject drugs.
- have a sexual partner who has hepatitis B
- are a man who has sex with men.
- have many sexual partners.
- live in a house where someone has hepatitis B.
- are a health care or emergency worker, or if you come into contact with blood during your work.
- are a prisoner.
- are a kidney dialysis patient.
- have a blood clotting disorder and are treated with blood products.
- already have a liver disease such as hepatitis C.
- are a resident or staff member at a facility for people with intellectual disabilities.
- intend staying for a long time in high risk areas overseas.
- adopt children from overseas. These children should be tested for hepatitis B and if they have the virus, members of the adoptive family should be vaccinated.
Immunisation is also recommended and is free for:
- all students in Year 7 at school.
- babies and children up to ten years old who live in a household with someone who has hepatitis B.
- all babies
To be immunised, contact your doctor or local council.
Does the vaccine have side effects?
Reactions to the vaccine are uncommon, but some people do suffer side effects soon after immunisation. These include fever, soreness where the injection was given, nausea, and joint pain.
How effective is the vaccine?
The adult course of three doses gives protection to about 95 per cent of adults.
Being immunised against hepatitis B does not protect you against HIV, hepatitis C or other diseases spread through blood or body fluids. It is important that you take precautions to ensure that you are not exposed to these.
Is there a treatment for hepatitis B?
Treatment is available and some treatments are covered by the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS).
People with long-term hepatitis B may require treatment. The aim of the treatment is to suppress replication of the virus and reduce liver damage.
The current treatments available include pegylated interferon and antiviral medications. Treatment can be accessed through a hospital liver clinic. For more information on treatment, consult your doctor.
What should I do if I think I have just been exposed to hepatitis B?
See a doctor immediately. Your doctor can give you treatment in some instances, which will reduce the risk of you becoming infected with hepatitis B.

Cucumber Salad with Mustard Dressing
- 1 cup half-and-half
- 1/2 cup plain low-fat yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup moderately finely snipped fresh dill
- 1 1/4 pounds Kirby cucumbers, peeled and thinly sliced
Whisk the half-and-half, yogurt, mustard, salt, pepper, and dill in a large bowl until creamy. Taste for mustard and add a bit more, if needed; there should be a distinct mustard flavor, but take care not to add so much that you overpower the flavor of the cucumbers. Add the cucumbers to the bowl and toss well to mix. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 4 hours before serving, or better yet, chill overnight.

Here is the official Colbie Caillat Fallin' for You video. See photos, the music video and Colbie Caillat Fallin' for You lyrics in support of the lead single from the pop singer-songwriter's forthcoming sophomore studio album.
The music video is in support of the official lead single from her forthcoming sophomore studio album, entitled Breakthrough, which will be released on August 25, 2009.
The Colbie Caillat Fallin' for You lyrics and music were written by the singer-songwriter along with Rick Nowels, who also produced the track along with John Shanks, and Ken Caillat (her father, who also did production for Fleetwood Mac). AceShowBiz.com quotes the singer-songwriter discussing the song:
"[It's] about falling for a guy I was friends with. We went out on a date and I realized that there was no one else in the room. The room was silent, and I was on this high from it the next day and wrote this song."
The 24-year-old singer-songwriter Colbie Caillat first rose to stardom with her popular MySpace page which then led to her international his single Bubbly which peaked at No. on the Billboard Hot 100, followed by her platinum-selling 2007 debut album, Coco.
Her highly anticipated sophomore album, Breakthrough, features a guest appearance on two tracks from celebrated guitarist David Becker. In a recent interview with Popeater she discussed the meaning of the title which she says refers to the breakthrough she herself experienced.
All my life I have had really bad stage fright and had been fighting with my insecurities that I had gained over the years from when I was a little girl. They were distracting me from living my life to the fullest and enjoying my career that was at my fingertips. So I decided to breakthrough all of those barricades I built around myself, take chances, accept new challenges and risks everyday, and not take myself to seriously anymore. I wanted to send this message out to all of my fans who have been going through life settling for less and letting their fears get in the way of their dreams.
Additionally, a week ahead of the release of her sophomore album Breakthrough, she makes a guest appearance in a comic book from the long-running Archie Comics series; Veronica # 196, which you can read about here. She appears as herself in the comic book and performs the single Fallin' for You as a duet.
Here are the Colbie Caillat Fallin' for You lyrics.

How Drought
the Chesapeake Bay
Impacts on
Plants and Animals in the Chesapeake Bay
Oysters may also be affected by changes in salinity. For example, although areas with salinity less that 5 ppt do not provide good habitat, high salinities encourage the growth of Dermo and MSX, two diseases that kill developing oysters. The February-March bloom of the toxin-producing alga Dinophysis accuminata may also be related to the unusually high salinities that have occurred in the lower Potomac River (see Ragged Point on the Current Conditions web page). A bloom of such magnitude, which has resulted in the closure of shellfish beds to harvesting, had never been observed in the Chesapeake Bay before this occurrence.
The encroachment of high salinity water into typically fresh water areas also limits the amount of spawning habitat for species such as yellow perch (Perca flavescens), white perch (Morone americana), and striped bass (Morone saxatilis). These fish must then move even further upstream into low salinity areas to spawn.
Finally, drought conditions increase water residence times in the tributaries, which can result in large algal blooms because phytoplankton populations have extended periods to grow in nutrient rich waters. When the blooms die off and sink to the bottom waters, bacterial decomposition of the phytoplankton mass consumes oxygen and results in hypoxia. Large areas of low dissolved oxygen further restrict the amount of habitat for aquatic species.

Oriole, it's now been 15 days since your last post. I think I can speak for everyone that we would love to get an update. While I cannot speak to your predecessor's skills as a programmer, I will give him credit for his communication skills - which honestly were the best I've ever seen.
I hope you are not taking all the negativity personally and you can see through it. As much as we complain, we DO love this game, or at least we love the potential that is there for this game. We wouldn't invest our time and money if we didn't.
I'm starting to wonder if I should go through the trouble of maintaining my beta team at present time, as I have no idea where we're heading with this. With the amount of work that is involved in this version, I'd rather not waste my time if this beta is going to be canned a month from now.
If you expect us coaches to invest in testing 3.0, then you need to invest time in us. Even a weekly update communicating your vision and plan for the next 1-2 weeks is better than we have now - nothing. Share your project plan and assign specific areas you want us to test. If you haven't noticed the energy of this board is pretty depleted. I've seen a dramatic decrease in the amount of feedback that is being provided on the beta, which I think is due to lack of direction on what you want us to test.
If this is test is still legit - then communicate and share your plan for revolutionizing this game. If WIS has bitten off too big of a challenge and 3.0 is dead, we won't be happy, but at least we can quit wasting our time. Either way, can we end the silence?

By Rhonda J. Armistead, NCSP
For most of us involved in school psychology, the 2002 Futures Conference was a proud milestone along our profession's historical time line. Representatives from every major organized group in school psychology participated in the conference including NASP, APA, APA Division of School Psychology, Society for the Study of School Psychology, Council of Directors of School Psychology Programs, Trainers of School Psychologists, American Academy of School Psychology, American Board of School Psychology, and the International School Psychology Association.
A focus on common interests and a collaborative spirit set the tone for the gathering. Forty remote groups of school psychology practitioners, graduate students, and graduate faculty participated in discussions using e-mail and video links while individuals followed the proceedings online. These discussions included an emphasis on evidence- based practices, diversity, and a more inclusive focus on families, schools, and communities. Some also noted that unlike earlier summits there was a greater emphasis on outcomes for those we serve rather than on the profession itself.
The outcomes of the Conference have been substantial, including development of five Priority Goals for school psychology: 1) Improved academic competence and school success for all children, 2) Improved social-emotional functioning for all children, 3) Enhanced family-school partnerships and parental involvement in schools, 4) More effective education and instruction for all learners and 5) Increased child and family services in schools that promote health and mental health and are integrated with community services. The Conference has also resulted in the creation of the School Psychology Leadership Roundtable, wide publication of the conference proceedings, the establishment of extensive web-based resources, and online learning modules. In addition, conference goals, which continue to be researched and monitored, have been incorporated into the NASP 2007 Strategic Plan and the plans of many affiliated state associations.
The mission of the conference was to develop a consensus within the field on the needs that school psychologists should address and how discretionary resources should be used in a time of limited personnel capacity and increased demand for school psychological services. In 2002, we optimistically viewed the future of school psychology as positioned for growth and having the potential for policy- making and increased influence on instructional and behavioral health practices in schools. It is more than ironic at the 5-year anniversary of the Futures Conference, that one of the Conference's eight sponsoring organizations has summarily proposed altering the credentialing—both title and practice—of two thirds of the school psychology community. Certainly, every organization at the Futures Conference has contributed in some significant way to the growth and status of school psychology, just as each organization comprises individuals who have a passion for school psychology and believe that school psychology is good for kids and families. However, the nuances of title, training, accreditation, and autonomy define our differences and threaten to fracture a profession named as one of the top 10 Hottest Careers by U.S. News and World Report in 2007.
The proposed changes to APA's Model Act for State Licensure of Psychologists will disenfranchise the majority of practitioners who have worked diligently and effectively within their areas of competence and as public servants in the setting that has most defined this profession—schools. Twenty-five years of Model Act "compromise language" has allowed school-based practitioners—both doctoral and specialist—to thrive; school psychology graduate education programs at all levels to prosper; standards for training, practice, and ethics to be adopted; and a distinctive profession to emerge— one that includes at least 40,000 individuals who define themselves as "school psychologists."
Each of us is responsible for the future of school psychology regardless of the perspective we currently have on the APA Model Act. APA's recently proposed change to its policy regarding school psychologists credentialed by state Boards of Education has occurred with little debate. Many of us are still considering the long-term implications of the proposed policy, how states will cope with the conflicts that will surely result, and how each of us will respond. I believe that school psychology will survive as a viable career and profession only if each of its constituent members agrees to build upon the strength of our presence in schools, the cohesiveness of our identity, and the shared vision of meeting the educational and mental health needs of children and youth.
It is unfortunate that the cohesiveness generated by the 2002 gathering in Indianapolis is at risk and that the heritage of the Futures Conference is in doubt. NASP remains committed to strengthening the school psychology community's collaborative work toward a shared vision of improved outcomes for children and families. We are equally committed, however, to preserving the right of appropriately credentialed school psychologists—both specialist and doctoral level—to retain the title of school psychologist and to provide services for which they are trained, capable, and desperately needed. The Futures Conference laid out a powerful vision for the future of school psychology, not just conceived in, but rooted in collaboration. Will we continue to look to the 2002 Conference as a beacon for how we can move forward with mutual respect to achieve the outcomes in which we all believed? I truly hope so. Only the future will tell.

GTX 280 & GTX 260 Final Specs & Performance
"Final specs have been released for Nvidia's GTX 280 and GTX 260 as well as a small insight into what to expect Crysis-performance-wise"
Published: 12th June 2008 | Source: Fudzilla |
The GTX 280 which has been developed on a 65nm process, has 1.4 billion transistors and is clocked at 602MHz on the core with the shaders (240 of them) weighing in at 1296MHz. It will use 1GB of GDDR3 memory with 512-bit memory interface clocked to 1107MHz (2214MHz). The card has 141.7GB/s bandwidth.
Meanwhile the GTX 260 requires nearly a quarter less power than its bigger brother, thus the need for only two 6-pin power connectors. That coupled with the PCIe 2.0 slot gives it 225W of power while in reality it will only draw a maximum of 182W.

"Pop-up" theaters are popping up everywhere, providing a great option for temporary cinemas as well as indoor/outdoor movie venues in school gyms, public parks and even underserved locales in the water or up on a roof! These theaters in-a-box bring cinema to the people wherever they are, offering a portable, first-class viewing experience according to the folks at Bandwidth Digital Releasing, Inc., who used a Barco 4K digital cinema projector to screen movies in Canada for the Adam Beach Film Institute, a national charitable organization created to provide greater opportunity for Aboriginal people in front of and behind the camera.
As reported in the Daily News and The Hollywood Reporter, Bandwidth began showing international Aboriginal, indigenous and first-run Hollywood films at the Brokenhead Ojibway Nation reserve back in April, with subsequent screenings held at other First Nations which previously had no access to a local cinema.
"This is one part of my dream –to bring Hollywood to my people," says Vice-President Adam Beach. "It was pretty cool to get a DCP of Cowboys & Aliens and show the movie to my home community (Lake Manitoba First Nation). Native kids got to see me on screen along side Harrison Ford and Daniel Craig, then come up to me after the movie and ask for an autograph, or to take a selfie."
"We've shown some of Hollywood's biggest blockbusters this summer including X-Men Days Of Future Past, Godzilla, and Captain America: Winter Soldier," says Jeremy Torrie, president of Bandwidth Digital Releasing. "The Barco has generated fantastic detail and colour. We project on a 30 foot wide screen standing seventeen feet tall, and no matter where you sit, the picture is amazing."
Sound is processed from the Barco via a Dolby CP750 Processor and output to 5 x 1000 watt QSC speakers and 2 x 1000 subwoofers. "This setup makes for an amazing combination of picture and sound. Everyone marvels at the quality. They just don't expect this when they walk into their hockey arena, or school gym," said Torrie.
Bandwidth has been to numerous communities spanning thousands of miles. Everything is loaded into a 22-ft trailer and trucked into the communities. While the Barco is a delicate piece of projection technology, it has performed flawlessly, even when faced with power outages. "At Fairford, MB in July a lightning storm shut down the community for five hours. Since we travel with a generator we were able plug in and continue showing movies with minimal interruption. It's been a workhorse."
Bandwidth plans to expand with franchises across Canada, and into the USA for 2015.

Few kitchen tools are as versatile as a good old-fashioned cast-iron pan. If you thought that this relic from your grandmother's kitchen was a thing of the past with no relevance to today's cooking methods, then you are greatly misinformed. Many graduates of Chicago culinary schools wouldn't be caught dead without a cast-iron pan in their kitchens.
The cast-iron pan is capable of all sorts of kitchen heroics. From frying to sautéing to baking and everything in between cast-iron is up to the task. In fact, most cooking techniques taught at a culinary school can be accomplished with a cast-iron pan. Not even the most expensive professional grade stainless cookware can compare to the heat retention and dispersion abilities of cast-iron cookware.
And if properly cared for, cast-iron cookware can be a family heirloom passed down from generation to generation.
The following procedure is good for all cast-iron cookware including griddles, skillets, and Dutch ovens. You'll want to properly season every piece of cast-iron to prevent rust and maintain the best cooking surface possible. Enamel coated cast-iron cookware does not require seasoning.
Re-season your cast-iron every couple of years if you use it regularly. After daily use and cleaning, place a tablespoon of cooking oil in the pan and wipe it out with a paper towel leaving behind a thin layer that will prevent rust.

Analysts doubtful of success of Pak govt-Taliban peace talks
Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's government is planning to hold preliminary talks with representatives of the Taliban, a step taken to address the country's most potent domestic threat.
The meeting is described as an introductory chat with the Islamist militant group, which has claimed more than 45,000 lives in decade-long insurgency.
If the first step towards the peace talks is unsuccessful, Sharif has signalled that he might order a military offensive to regain control of tribal areas under Taliban control, the Washington Post reports.
According to the report, many analysts caution that Sharif's government may not have much leeway to bargain with the Taliban.
Zahid Hussain, an Islamabad-based defense analyst, said Sharif would run into resistance from military leaders if he agreed to any release of prisoners.
Many military leaders are still angered that Taliban commanders freed under previous peace initiatives have returned to the battlefield, Hussain said.
He added that there have been several peace deals with the Taliban, and none of them have worked, and since the things have diametrically changed.
Sharif, who returned as prime minister in June after two previous terms in the 1990s, has made a negotiated settlement with the Pakistani Taliban a chief priority.
Sharif has appointed a four-member delegation to make a final push at peace talks.

The administration begins the push for ratification of a 1982 treaty that would end America's sovereignty on the high seas, limit our freedoms on land and speed up the global redistribution of wealth and power.
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta told Sen. John Kerry's Senate Foreign Relations Committee last Wednesday that the freedom of the sea once guaranteed by the British Royal Navy and then the U.S. Navy should be in the hands of United Nations bureaucrats in Montego Bay, Jamaica, enforcers of the Law of the Sea Treaty (LOST) he said we must ratify.
It used to be that a carrier battle group led by 90,000 tons of American diplomacy was sufficient to ensure that no nation could threaten our freedom of navigation and that of other countries.
But the nation whose motto was "we win, they lose" under President Reagan is replacing it with President Obama's "mother, may we?"
"If we are not a party to this treaty and can't deal with it at the table, then we have to deal with it at sea with our naval power, and once that happens, we clearly increase the risk for confrontation," Panetta told members of the committee.
Once upon a time, other nations were afraid of us; now we're afraid of them.
LOST would codify the "global test" Kerry uses to assess the validity of U.S. activities. For example, Communist China, a LOST signatory, contends the treaty bans the Proliferation Security Initiative under which we can stop and search ships on the high seas suspected of transporting WMDs on behalf of or for use by terrorists.
What would we do if China's claim to undisputed sovereignty over the 1 million square miles of the South China Sea were honored by this new international body to which we would be subservient? Would the U.S. Navy quietly keep off their grass?
Subscribe to the IBD Editorials Podcast
LOST establishes an International Seabed Authority with the power to regulate 70% of the earth's surface, placing seabed mining, fishing rights, deep-sea oil exploration and even the activities of the U.S. Navy under control of a global bureaucracy.
It even provides for a global tax that would be paid directly to the ISA by companies seeking to develop resources in and under the world's oceans.
The treaty was originally finalized in the 1980s but rejected by Reagan over concerns it would cede U.S. sovereignty to the ISA and could force the United States to hand over sensitive technology to Soviet-allied states.

This is the day the world's first National Standard on Psychological Health and Safety turns one. For those of you who missed its birth, Canada released this standard one year ago. It was developed by the Canadian Standards Association (CSA Group) and the Bureau normalization du Québec (BNQ) in collaboration with the Mental Health Commission of Canada and with the help of community groups like the Canadian Mental Health Association. Development of the standard was funded by the government of Canada, the Great-West Life Centre for Mental Health in the Workplace and Bell Canada.

Comments about Hal Leonard Best of Brad Paisley Guitar Tab Songbook:
This book contains a number of Paisley's more well-known tracks--all of which have vocals--as well as two instrumental tracks, "The Nervous Breakdown" and "Time Warp." If you're looking to learn some of Paisley's best licks, this book can only help you.Do note that, if you want the standard notation and tab for Paisley's mainly instrumental album PLAY, there is a book that contains all of the songs to that one album. This particular book, 'Best of Brad Paisley," only contains songs from the Paisley albums leading up to PLAY (from 1999's WHO NEEDS PICTURES to 2007's 5TH GEAR).Anyway, if you want to learn some of those fast Paisley licks but you don't have any way to slow the songs down, this book can help you. Then again, it can also be a big help to those of you who have a way to slow songs down without changing the pitch. Either way, 'Best of Brad Paisley' might just help you get on your way to playing like Paisley. Do keep in mind, however, that many of Paisley's songs contain relatively difficult lead guitar parts. If you are a beginner, you may still find some good use for this book such as learning new licks.
Comments about Hal Leonard Best of Brad Paisley Guitar Tab Songbook:
I recently received a copy of this Brad Paisley songbook and I find it very useful.The song choice is great, though it does lack songs from Paisley's latest album, PLAY, which contains some of his best guitar work. Other than that, it's a truly great book.In all truth, I have not one complaint about this book...other than the fact that there are no songs from PLAY which is understandable--I believe the book came out before that album.Anyway, if you want to learn some of Paisley's best country licks, you'll want this book!

The Kunze-Stein phenomenon associated with Jacobi transforms

Abstract: Recently A. D. Ionescu (2000) established the endpoint estimate for the Kunze-Stein phenomenon, which states that if is a noncompact connected semisimple Lie group of real rank one with finite center, then
In this paper, we will prove the corresponding result for the Jacobi transform. Our method is analytical, in which we do not use the structure of Lie groups.

Nowhere to Call Home
2014. USA. Directed by Jocelyn Ford. Widowed at 28, Tibetan farmer Zanta defies her tyrannical father-in-law and refuses to marry his other son. When Zanta's in-laws won't let her seven-year-old go to school, she flees to Beijing to become a street vendor. Destitute, she inveigles an American customer into paying her boy's school fees. On a holiday trip back to her village, Zanta's in-laws take her son hostage, drawing the unwitting American into the violent family feud. The two women forge a partnership in a bid to out-maneuver the in-laws. This "deeply moving" and "ethically challenging" story (Jonathan Watts, The Guardian) provides an intimate and brutally frank view of village family life and the struggles Tibetan migrants face in Beijing.

Is your portfolio diversified? Check. You' re rebalancing periodically? Check. Are your investments synced up with your career choice and professional trajectory? Perhaps not.
A growing body of research has focused on the importance of taking a holistic view of an investor's assets. This involves incorporating into the planning process an investor's human capital, or the ability to earn a living over time.
It's a logical enough proposition: After all, your ability to save for retirement or anything else is enormously dependent on your earning power. Still, "Many financial advisers don't consider these other assets," said Philip Straehl, senior research consultant at Morningstar Investment Management and co-author of the research paper "No Portfolio Is An Island."
That recent paper looked at ways to incorporate human capital, as well as real estate holdings and pensions, into an investor's overall asset mix. It's something plenty of financial pros may not know how to even begin to do: In particular, brokers who work on commission might not have the capacity for a discussion about a client's career when they're only compensated if they sell certain products.
Yet a broader approach to retirement planning has become increasingly necessary in recent years, experts say. Many boomers won't have pensions to fall back on like their parents did. What's more, remaining in good health becomes particularly important as people are working longer, extending their human capital beyond the traditional retirement ages of 62 or 65.
Are you a stock or a bond?
When workers are just starting out, their human capital often represents their biggest asset. Over time, human capital declines and, as people save and invest their earnings, financial assets increase.
Small-Business Strategies: How To Make an Exit
Small-business owners generally are so busy that they fail to consider when they'll want to close up shop. MarketWatch's Robert Powell talks with three small-business experts about how business owners can develop an exit strategy.
The nature of human capital varies according to profession. Moshe Milevsky, a finance professor at the Schulich School of Business at York University in Toronto, popularized the concept several years ago of classifying human capital as stock-like or bond-like. A tenured professor like Milevsky has a very stable, bond-like career—like a bond, it will presumably generate a predictable amount of income over a predictable period. On the opposite end of the spectrum, an entrepreneur has a volatile, stock-like career—with earnings that potentially fluctuate with ups and downs of the economy, as a stock price can do.
Those with bond-like careers can often afford to take more risk in their investment portfolios. These might have a higher allocation to equities, including stocks that promise potentially out-sized rewards for their increased risk, such as those of developing countries. These investors may also need less in short-term emergency funds than their stock-like counterparts.
Those with less stable careers may want to be a bit more conservative in their asset allocation, with more money in bonds, for example, than they'd have otherwise considered at their age. Morningstar's recent analysis took this even further, with a breakdown of how investors in certain industries could structure their portfolios—for example, those who work in finance should go lighter on the bank stocks.
In reality, it doesn't always work out this neatly, said Rand Spero, president of Street Smart Financial, a fee-only financial planning firm in Lexington, Mass. He recalled a client who worked in construction, doing home renovations—a job with cyclical volatility. Yet this gentleman wasn't interested in smoothing the bumps in his investment portfolio: he had a strong stomach for risk, and this tolerance informed both his choice of profession and his investment allocation, Spero said. (In this scenario, he said his responsibility lay in respecting his client's views while making sure his portfolio could weather the ups and downs it would likely endure.) Conversely, it's not hard to imagine a risk-averse person seeking out a stable government job and investing her assets conservatively.
Spero, a former strategic planning consultant for companies, talks to clients in-depth about their current careers and future plans. "You really need to probe to find out more specifics about their individual situation," he said. For example, a client could say she works in the health-care field. An adviser who doesn't question any further might assume she has a recession-proof job, when in reality she could be a pharmaceutical sales rep who works on commission.
Matching investments to careers
To be sure, some investments factor in human capital already. Target-date mutual funds, which automatically shift into more conservative securities as the investor approaches retirement, reflect diminishing human capital.

In the first of apparent moves to re-instill public confidence in financial reporting, SEC has ordered the freezing of accounts of the sacked management of Cadbury Nigeria Plc.
This is coming on the heels of recent disclosures about the financial reporting of firms such as Union Dicon, NAMPAK and lately Wema Bank Plc.
In its statement yesterday, The Securities & Exchange Commission noted with dismay that while the company\'s accounts and the affected officials were still being investigated, some of the directors had made moves to dematerialise their shares probably to sell same.
To prevent pre-emptive sale of such directors and senior officials\' shares, the commission therefore ordered that such accounts be frozen henceforth.
Besides, the Nigerian Stock Exchange and stockbrokers have been advised to deal with the sale of the shares of the executives and officers of Cadbury with caution.
The commission said:
\"It has been observed that some directors and senior officers of Cadbury Nigeria Plc, whose roles in misstatement of accounts are under investigation are now dematerialising their shares and lodging same with the Central Securities and Clearing System (CSCS).
The intention of this is not known. Consequently, SEC hereby directs the freezing of CSCS accounts of persons so identified to prevent a pre-emptive sale of those shares�.
The Nigerian Stock Exchange, CSCS and all stockbrokers are advised to deal with caution in share accounts of the executives or officers of Cadbury.\"
It would be recalled that the board of directors of Cadbury informed SEC and the NSE that the company\'s account was mis-stated under the management of Mr. Bunmi Oni as managing director, and Mr. Akadiri as finance director.
The case is still being investigated and the investing public awaits its results, but some parties involved have gone to court to stop the investigations.
