What You Should Know about Swine Flu
Q&A with Dr. Michael Greger
Michael Greger, M.D., is the director of public health and animal agriculture for The Humane Society of the United States. His book Bird Flu: A Virus of Our Own Hatching, which is available full-text online, explores the risk of avian influenza, which has many parallels with the current swine flu outbreak. He answers common questions about the burgeoning pandemic.
Is it still even called "swine" flu?
To protect pork exports and deter countries from indiscriminately killing pigs, many have dropped use of the term "swine." The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has decided instead to call it "swine-origin" influenza now, which is accurate, but people have been raising pigs and chickens in their back yards for thousands of years before the triple hybrid mutant ancestor of this virus was first detected on U.S. factory farms. "Factory farm flu" might therefore be more accurate.
If I properly handle and fully cook pork, is it safe?
From an influenza standpoint, pork is probably safe, but how that pork was produced can be anything but. When thousands of pigs are overcrowded into cramped stalls and pens inside massive, unsanitary, warehouse-like sheds, it's a veritable breeding ground for disease. As the former executive director of the Pew Commission on Industrial Animal Farm Production described, "Industrial farms are super-incubators for viruses."
Where did swine flu come from?
The genetic fingerprint of the virus was just published, and the main ancestor of this deadly virus is a triple hybrid mutant first found on factory farms in the United States in 1998. The H1N1 swine flu virus has been described as "the product of intensive farming."
What are the conditions on factory farms that contribute to emergence of these diseases?
Factory farms can be considered viral breeding grounds for many reasons:
- The sheer number of confined animals: With so many animals—stressed, deprived and suffering from poor welfare—overcrowded in today's factory farms, a pathogen can run rampant and mutate among so many confined "hosts." As Johns Hopkins School of Public Health Professor Ellen Silbergeld put it: "Instead of a virus only having one spin of the roulette wheel, it has thousands and thousands of spins, for no extra cost. It drives the evolution of new diseases."
- The unnatural stocking density: Swine flu is transmitted like human flu, via infected nasal secretions and respiratory droplets. So, when pigs are intensively confined on factory farms, the large viral loads considered necessary for the emergence of rare flu mutants can rapidly transfer from animal to animal.
- The stress crippling their immune systems: Breeding sows confined in gestation crates can't even turn around and their health can suffer immensely. According to veterinary scientists, crowding more pigs per pen "allows more opportunities for direct nose-to-nose contact or for aerosol spread of the [swine flu] virus between penmates. Furthermore, a large number of pigs per pen creates physiological stress, which in turn can alter the immune system and predispose pigs to infection.
- The lack of adequate fresh air: The dankness helps keep the virus alive.
- The decaying fecal waste: The millions of gallons of excrement produced by a typical operation decompose and release ammonia, burning the pigs' respiratory tracts, which may predispose them to respiratory infection in the first place.
- The lack of adequate sunlight: In factory farms, there may be no sunlight. The UV rays in sunlight are quite effective in destroying the influenza virus. Thirty minutes in direct sunlight completely inactivates the flu virus, but it can last for days in the shade, and weeks in moist manure.
- Pharmacological crutches: Just as the U.S. pork industry jeopardizes the public through the mass feeding of human antibiotics to pigs to offset the effects of intensive confinement, the industry vaccinates its herds for swine flu. This minimizes the virus' impact on production, but may not significantly reduce viral shedding. Instead, it immunologically pressures the virus to mutate by acquiring novel human virus surface proteins, as has happened in Eurasia and north America, which may increase its pandemic potential.
- Preponderance of disease-carrying rodents, flies, and other vectors: A 2006 study found evidence that flies may be able to pick up flu viruses from factory farms and carry them for miles.
Put all of these factors together and what you get is a "perfect storm" environment for the emergence and spread of new "superstrains" of influenza, which long-distance live animal transport can then rapidly spread across the country.
Have there been other diseases related to factory farming?
Swine flu is not the only deadly human disease traced to factory farming practices. The meat industry took natural herbivores, such as cows and sheep, and turned them into cannibals by feeding them slaughter plant waste, blood and manure. Then, people were fed downed animals—those too sick even to stand or walk—and, as a result, people have died because of mad cow disease.
In 2005, China experienced the world's largest and deadliest outbreak of an emerging pig pathogen called Strep suis, causing meningitis and deafness in people handling infected pork products. The U.S. Department of Agriculture blamed "[s]tress due to poor housing conditions, such as crowding and inadequate ventilation..." and the World Health Organization similarly blamed "'intensive' conditions that can cause stress and subsequent immune suppression."
Pig factories in Malaysia birthed one of the deadliest of human pathogens, the Nipah virus, a contagious respiratory disease causing relapsing brain infections and killing 40% of people infected. Its emergence was again blamed on factory farms.
The pork industry in the United States feeds pigs millions of pounds of human antibiotics every year just to promote growth and prevent disease in such a stressful, unhygienic environment, and now there are multidrug-resistant bacteria and we as physicians are running out of good antibiotic options. A study published last year found that half of pigs tested in Iowa and Illinois were positive for MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus), which now kills more people than AIDS in the United States. As the United Kingdom's chief medical officer put it, "every inappropriate or unnecessary use in animals or agriculture is potentially a death warrant for a future patient."
How do other public health scientists feel about these factory farms?
The largest association of public health professionals in the world, the American Public Health Association, called for a moratorium on factory farms more than five years ago.
In 2005, the United Nations said, "Governments, local authorities, and international agencies need to take a greatly increased role in combating the role of factory farming," which, combined with live animal markets, "provide ideal conditions for the [influenza] virus to spread and mutate into a more dangerous form." These factory farms can be thought of as the original incubators of dangerous strains of the flu.
Just last year, the Pew Commission on Industrial Farm Animal Production released its final report after a two-and-one-half year investigation. Commissioners included a former U.S. Secretary of Agriculture, a former Assistant Surgeon General and the Dean of the University of Iowa College of Public Health, and was chaired by a former Kansas Governor. The Commission concluded in no uncertain terms that intensively confining pigs in veal crate-like metal stalls where they can't even turn around poses "unacceptable" public health risks.
What needs to happen to decrease our risk of future swine flu pandemics?
The industry needs to immediately move towards a carcass-only trade. Long-distance live animal transport has been implicated in the rapid spread of swine influenza viruses throughout North America.
We also need to start giving these animals more breathing room. One study showed that measures as simple as providing straw for pigs so they don't have the immunosuppressive stress of living on bare concrete their whole lives can significantly cut down on swine flu transmission rates. In the long run, though, we need to follow the Pew Commission's recommendations to abolish extreme confinement practices like gestation crates, as they're already doing in Europe, and to follow the advice of the American Public Health Association and declare no more factory farms.
How bad do you think this is going to get?
The goal is to be prepared, not scared. There are pandemics and then there are pandemics. We must remember that the last two pandemics—in 1957 and 1968—were relatively mild, only killing about a million people each. If you're 52 years old, you've already lived through two pandemics, and odds are you'll almost certainly live through the next.
Nearly everything you need to know to survive a pandemic you likely learned in kindergarten, such as proper hand washing and basic respiratory hygiene. Also, getting up to speed on social distancing, appropriate stockpiling of essential supplies, taking care of flu victims, and the proper use of alcohol-based hand sanitizers and masks/respirators may be helpful should the current swine flu virus evolve into a more serious threat.

They are not just painters and sculptors, but also musicians, songwriters, and performers. They have come not just from the surrounding neighborhoods, such as Brooklyn's Williamsburg and Greenpoint, but also such faraway places as Boston, Massachusetts, and Newport, Rhode Island.
Over the last three years many of the musical-minded young people, who have landed in Ridgewood primarily because of its comparably low rents, have started sharing their talents and music with the rest of the community.
Kirsten Shores is the founder of Close Encounters, an organization that hosts and promotes rock shows in Greenpoint and Williamsburg. She now has over 1,700 people on her quickly expanding mailing list.
"It is really incredible what is going on here in this part of New York right now," she said. "A real musical renaissance is taking place."
At 6112 Madison Street, just one block east of Fresh Pond Road, another rock club called Fresh Pond House Concerts recently opened. It is owned and run by young native Rhode Islander William Bartholomew and his wife Gabriela. Two weeks ago was opening night for this cozy, intimate new performance space.
"People are looking for something new," Bartholomew said. "The scene is more about artistic inclination than structure, artistically speaking. There is a reinvention happening here in Ridgewood of basic human contact."
The headlining entertainment for opening evening was a young and talented singer/ songwriter from Boston, Dan Blakeslee, an innovative folk-rock musician.
"Big scenes begin with small steps," Bartholomew said.

Verdi: The Complete Works (75-CD boxed set) Decca.
From the ever-popular "Aida" to the obscure "Alzira," all 28 of Giuseppe Verdi's operas have been repackaged in a boxed set to commemorate the great Italian composer's 200th birthday — along with his other compositions: the "Requiem," songs, choral works, even a string quartet and capriccio for bassoon and orchestra.
This exhaustive collection of 75 CDs comes from Decca, which has drawn on the catalogs of Philips, Deutsche Grammophon and EMI. The suggested retail price of $200 makes it a bargain at less than $3 per CD.
The great conductors of the 1960s, '70s and '80s are represented, from Herbert von Karajan to James Levine, from Georg Solti to Riccardo Muti. The casts are mostly exemplary, with generous contributions from the "three tenors" — Placido Domingo and Jose Carreras (seven operas each) and Luciano Pavarotti (three). The soprano lineup includes Joan Sutherland, Montserrat Caballe and Katia Ricciarelli. However, because she was an RCA recording artist, the indispensable Leontyne Price is missing. Instead, as the Leonoras in "La Forza del Destino" and "Il Trovatore" — two of Price's greatest roles — we get Rosalind Plowright, a fine British soprano but no match for Price's sultry allure.
Even experienced opera fans may take delight in discovering the Rossinian jollity of Verdi's second opera, "Un giorno di regno," from 1840, his only comedy until his sublime final masterpiece, "Falstaff," written in 1893. It's also intriguing to hear how he adapted "I lombardi" from 1843 into a different work, "Jerusalem," four years later, and how the 1850 "Stiffelio" became "Aroldo" in 1857. The set includes two complete versions of "Don Carlo," one in French and one in Italian, as well as the original and extensively revised "Forza."
Among the gems here is a classic "La Traviata" from 1976, starring soprano Ileana Cotrubas, Domingo and baritone Sherrill Milnes, conducted by Carlos Kleiber. Also, a marvelous "Simon Boccanegra" from a year later, with soprano Mirella Freni, Carreras, baritone Piero Cappuccilli and bass Nicolai Ghiaurov, conducted by Claudio Abbado.
Two booklets are included with cast lists, plot summaries and some background on each opera. But space constraints prevented inclusion of full librettos, which is a drawback for the serious listener.

Investors in the embattled hedge-fund SAC Capital are gathering Wednesday morning for an 8 a.m. briefing on the firm's current legal issues.
Company founder Steve Cohen, who has kept largely silent up to now, will participate in the call, say two people familiar with the matter, but SAC management will field no questions, one of these people added.
The call is expected to be brief, says this person – no more than fifteen to twenty minutes. (Read More: SAC Capital to Hold Investor Call Wednesday Morning)
The $14 billion hedge-fund company was thrown into the spotlight last week amid Department of Justice allegations that a former SAC trader named Matthew Martoma had used illegally —obtained information to make a series of lucrative sales of two pharmaceutical stocks in 2008. Martoma, according to the complaint, briefed the hedge fund's owner — a party widely assumed to be Cohen — before the sales occurred, and the owner signed off on the decision.
In a statement last week, Cohen said that he and SAC have behaved appropriately and that both parties are cooperating with the insider-trading probe, which has now lasted several years. (Read More: Former SAC Fund Manger Has Been Set at $5 Million)
Nonetheless, some SAC investors have grown leery of the firm now that Cohen appears to be personally entangled in the trading controversy. Last week, one money manager filed notice of its plan to redeem capital after some of its clients aired concerns about the future of SAC, someone familiar with the situation has said.
And this week, other wealthy individual investors have expressed similar fears to their brokers about whether the government insider-trading probe could run SAC out of business, the brokers said. At least one of those investors is considering redeeming money as well. (Read More: Investor: I'm Pulling Out of SAC as Insider Probe Widens)
The Justice Department's Martoma case, filed Nov. 20 alongside a parallel civil case from the Securities and Exchange Commission, fell too late for SAC investors to redeem capital this year. The next redemption opportunity falls in February, say people familiar with the firm's policies, at which point SAC will take requests to return investor capital by the first quarter's end.
Even a slew of outside investor redemptions wouldn't reduce SAC's assets too dramatically, however, since Cohen and other insiders together provide more than $8 billion of the total $14 billion under management.

Hi Anthony, Writing without thinking sounds like a topic for a good post! I guess free writing can help you do that. Personally, I like Gladwell as he has made scientific studies accessible the wider public. He's also a talented writer.
I'd love to see that link, please do post it. Have you read any of the great posts on The Bulletproof Musician ?
Chris says
QUOTE: "I was too focused on just fiction writing, and I didn't count other types of writing, like blogging or copywriting. I also didn't count the time I spent studying topics, like creativity, storytelling, and more."
But what if I'm only interested in fiction writing? I have no interest at all in 'blogging'… what a horrible word that is, even by internet standards. Not at all the kind of word a real writer might have come up with… Or 'Tweeting'; no self respecting person would want to get into bed with anything calling itself 'Twitter', FFS. (It took a lot of persuading to get me to use 'Faceache'… I'm still not sure it's the kind of company I really want to keep, but too many of my real old friends are on there, so I'm damned anyway.)
As for copywriting?… I have no interest in writing bullshit… and let's face it, that's what a copywriter does for a living. Sure, fiction is sanctioned lying… but it's lying with an inherent truth about it. We have to get our facts absolutely right, so our readers will believe the fiction (even in fantasy novels… or maybe even more so in fantasy writing.). Copywriters do the exact opposite. They will often blatantly distort the facts to make the untruths stick… and mugs fall for it (including many aspiring authors.)
OK, I accept that to sell our novels, we authors need to have them marketed in some way… but that's what publishers, and the marketing men and women that they engage, are for.
Seriously though, there's nothing wrong with knowing what you want to write, and sticking to it. There's a lot to be said for the old phrase: 'Jack of all trades… Master of none.' Practise by all means… and write and rewrite till you're happy… then rewrite again… but practise your own craft. Make your practice count by practising the kind of writing you want to be great at.
Hi Chris, You could spend a lifetime studying the craft of fiction writing and never get to the bottom of it. Philip Roth is one man who dedicated his life to the art of the novel. I shared my story as I write non-fiction as well as fiction. The only caveat is studying other types of writing informs fiction writing in weird and wonderful ways.

, so why would I do it for Kevin? You can guide, you can encourage, you can challenge…but if a child doesn't have skills, they don't have skills. You just teach and practice more. Taking away the toys and items that they do have success with, I don't see how that is helpful. Just like I wouldn't take away Brian's beginning readers and force him to read War and Peace, why would I take away things that Kevin is not developmentally ready to part with?
I suppose the case can be made that some kids do not have the ability to move past some topics and that they perseverate and that we cannot expect them to do this on their own. I still do not expect Kevin to do it on his own. I still will encourage him and challenge him, but at the same time allow him to enjoy what he loves.
The third one I no longer struggle with, as it relates to #1. Society already mistreats him or he is misunderstood. If he has a Sesame Street toy at a restaurant, am I really dooming him or the disability community to more mistreatment and more misunderstanding? I don't think so.
Again, back to my mantra at #1, more understanding and acceptance is needed. And I don't think taking away things that my son likes goes to help the cause. In fact, in many cases these toys and items are calming and reassuring to these kids and help them in public. Taking away a support item may create outbursts or tantrums and then I have created a situation.
This isn't just kids with disabilities, this issue has been discussed regarding older people and Alzheimer's or dementia . Doll therapy is also somewhat controversial, but as the first commenter on that article states, " It is all about feelings, and if a doll produces good feelings then by all means let it be. While it is heartbreaking to watch, but my friend is experiencing calm That is worth everything."older people and Alzheimer's or dementia
It is heartbreaking to watch a loved one regress with Alzheimer's, just as it is painful at times when Kevin is performing at the same levels as his peers. Just over spring break, I had a complete meltdown in my neighborhood. A few of us were standing around talking while all the kids zoomed around on bikes and scooters.
It hit me like a ton of bricks–that Kevin wasn't there, as he should have been there , zooming around like all the other kids. But, he was at home playing with his preferred toys since he does not have the skills yet to ride a bike or a scooter. But he was doing what he preferred, what he enjoyed.
So who am I to take that away from him?

It isn't really about naked pics. It is about me exposing by deepest sexual secrets and leaving myself and my soul completely naked for the world to see.
Way back in the early 2000's I discovered a need to be vulnerable and naked in front of others, whether it be in public, among other naked guys, among clothed guys, or in front of authority.
Sometimes I like to be tied down, spanked, flogged and tortured. Sometimes I like to be physically examined and humiliated by someone of authority. I am a complete exhibitionist.
I also like to see others in the same situation where I am the one clothed or the one in authority.
I am not the greatest writer in the world. Some may say I stink and that I should keep my day job. I am not writing this blog to be a writer but to record my exploration of these fetishes. Every story is as accurate as my memory allows except the names of the people I encounter and most of the pictures. The pictures in this blog are, for the majority, not me. I pulled most of them from various sites on the internet. I will give credit to the individual photo owners when I know where they came from. If you see a pic that is yours and you want to take it down just let me know.

Inmate who was beaten at Concord prison transferred to Mass.By KATHRYN MARCHOCKI
New Hampshire Union Leader
February 26. 2014 8:25PM
A 27-year-old New Hampshire state prison inmate who was brutally beaten last August has been transferred to a Massachusetts correctional facility this month while state police investigate the assault.
"He was hit pretty hard in the face," state Department of Corrections spokesman Jeffrey J. Lyons said of inmate Matthew J. York, who was found beaten Aug. 14 in the close custody unit at New Hampshire State Prison for Men in Concord.
York was assigned to the unit, which is a level 4 disciplinary unit, on July 31 for striking someone, Lyons said. The unit is one step down from the special housing maximum-security unit, where York was assigned when he first entered prison June 11, Lyons said.
York's wife, Kelly, claimed her husband was attacked because he tried to sever his ties with a local prison gang known as the Brotherhood of White Warriors. Kelly York told theConcord Monitor newspaper that her husband had been targeted by gang members in the weeks leading up to the assault.
Lyons would not comment on Kelly York's account.
"We are looking at all aspects of the assault to determine what may have caused it. We don't want to specifically state that it may be related to a gang, but we will look at that among any other potential leads we may receive to determine what happened and to determine what, if any, arrests may be made," Lyons said. No arrests have been made to date, he said.
Lyons acknowledged organized gangs exist in prison, including the Brotherhood of White Warriors, but would not say if York ever was associated with it.
York, formerly of Rochester, was convicted in Stafford County Superior Court in 2013 of felony theft, two counts each of burglary, felon in possession of a weapon and falsifying physical evidence.
York is serving a 5- to 15-year prison sentence on the theft conviction and will be eligible for parole Feb. 10, 2018. He is serving concurrent 3 1/2- to 7-year sentences on the other convictions.
Kelly York also told the Monitor that her husband's injuries were so severe he had to have reconstructive surgery and spent nine days in a hospital before being moved to the prison's medical unit. Lyons would not comment on this account.
According to Lyons, York was treated at the prison's health services unit from Aug. 14 until Sept. 13, when he was returned to the close custody unit. On Sept. 25, he was transferred to Carroll County Jail, then to Rockingham County jail. He was returned to the state prison for less than a day when he was transferred to a Massachusetts facility Feb. 8, Lyons said.
Attempts to reach Kelly York by telephone were unsuccessful because she has an unpublished number.
Lyons said he could not specify the reasons for York's transfer. But, he added, "one reason often considered is we have to ensure the safety of the inmate and ensure the safety of the institution."

The distinguished historian Bernard Lewis, writing for the Wall Street Journal, surveys the situation in Afghanistan, Iran, and Iraq. He finds it surprising that things are going much better in Afghanistan than in Iraq, and attributes this to the fact that "in Afghanistan there is an Afghan government, while in Iraq there is an Amreican adminstration." He recommends that the U.S. "hand over [control], as soon as possible, to a genuine Iraqi government.
I don't think anyone would take issue with this recommendation. But the rub comes in giving content to the phrase "as soon possible," and Lewis seems overly optimistic in assessing when that might be. He thinks that "the nucleus of [a genuine Iraqi] government is already available, in the Iraqi National Congress, headed by Ahmad Chalabi."
Without intending to disparage Chalabi, I don't see the merit of turning any control over to him in the near future. It seems to me that causes of instabilty in Iraq are: (1) the desire of the Baathists to drive the U.S. out regain power, (2) the desire of international terrrorists to inflict defeat on the U.S., and (3) the desires of Iran and Iraqi Shiites to advance their interests, sometimes the same and sometimes different. Under these circumstances, the U.S. clearly can't disengage, as Lewis seems to acknowledge in a section of his piece about how militant Islam still is not convinced that the U.S. has the resolve to effectively fight them over the long haul. And I don't see how turning any degree of control over to Chalabi while we're still around would help. The Baathists would still want to take back power, the Al Qaeda types would still want to kill and humiliate us, and I don't think the Shiites see a Chalabi government as the answer to their prayers.
Lewis' fallacy, I think, is to assume that misguided, but good faith resentment about our role is contributing significantly to the violence in Iraq. Those who are engaging in the violence are misguided only to the extent that we prove able to destroy them.
DEACON adds: Perhaps Lewis believes that Iraqis would cooperate more with an Iraqi adminstration than with an American one, thus improving the quality of intelligence about the insurgents and terrorists. However, I would be skeptical of such a claim, particularly to the extent that the Iraqi administration is one imposed by the U.S. I suspect that the level of cooperation any administration obtains in this type of situation is largely a function of the populace's confidence in that adminstration's prospects for long-term success

text: This is a model of a 3-dof planar manipulator. This model helps visualize the manipulator's motion and each link's Denavit-Hartenberg coordinate system. Also, the model helps visualize the intermediate coordinate systems that result from each successive rotation and translation of the (i-1)th coordinate system by the joint variables and link parameters that lead to the ith coordinate system. The thickest arrows correspond to the DH coordinate systems, the thinner arrows correspond to the intermediate coordinate systems and the thinnest arrows correspond to the base coordinate system. The purple lines correspond to the link offsets (di) and the orange lines correspond to the link lengths (ai). The simulation outputs the x, y and z components of the position of the origin of the hand coordinate system with respect to the base coordinate system.

Today's Big Superhero-Movie Rumor: Johnny Depp Being Eyed to Star in Marvel's 'Dr. Strange'
Hot on the heels of yesterday's big announcement that Michael Douglas will be playing Hank Pym in Marvel's Ant-Man movie comes another bombshell casting update – but this one is still just a rumor.
According to website Latino Review, Marvel is talking with Johnny Depp about playing the title character in its upcoming Dr. Strange movie. Talk about potentially perfect casting…
Depp, who's earned Disney billions of dollars in box office revenue through his work in the Pirates of the Caribbean films, is also a comic fan and interested in joining the Marvel universe alongside guys like Chris Hemsworth and Sam Jackson. The move could be perfect for both parties – Depp's a bona fide box office draw (The Lone Ranger being an exception) who would certainly help make one of Marvel's less mainstream characters an easier sell to the non-comic-reading crowd. Starring in the film could prove that The Lone Ranger was an anomaly in the Depp's career.
The actor won't come cheap, but his well-established relationship with Disney and proven box office track record could very well help convince the usually cost-conscious Marvel to splurge. Thus far, the studio has kept actor salaries – with the exception of Robert Downey Jr. – low. With RDJ talking about stepping away from Iron Man at some point, Depp could be the marquee name in the Marvel universe moving forward. Plus, how great would it be to see Depp and RDJ working together in these films?
It should be noted that this all still just a rumor – and that even if Marvel and Depp have met, it doesn't mean they'll be able to bang out a deal, but it's fun to think about the possibilities. Should Depp take the role, Latino Review points out that the script for Dr. Strange would have to be reworked a bit – but I doubt anyone would complain about that. In theory, we'd probably get our first look at Depp as Strange in one of the postcredit sequences for the upcoming Phase Two films, which would help set up the full feature as part of Marvel's Phase Three.
What do you guys think? Does the idea of Johnny Depp donning Dr. Strange's cape fill you with glee or do you have someone else in mind for the part?

Is my first time writing on this post. Dreams are important to every person. In my opinion, they are responsable of every decision that we take. When someone has an important goal or dream do many things to reach them. Another important thing about dreams is that when we are in the road to reach them, we passed many situations and experiences that make us a better person, more powerful and gave us more oportunities to saw our dreams more near than yesterday. The best feeling that us can feel is to saw how we passed every barrier, one by one, suffering many things but with one purpose. Around the World, many people had dreams that want to share with others. In my case, I want to share my dreams with you. First of all, I want Peace for Every Country around the World. I want that every person learn about equality between nations, countries,cities,religions workplaces, cultures,etc. When everyone learn about these word, the life of all will be more peaceful. In my personal dreams are to continue studying Social Science and then start studies in Psychology. I choose this beacuse I want to be a Children Psychologist. Many children are suffering many situations and no one is there to help they. Another dream is to travel to Hawaii, Costa Rica, Aruba, Singapour, Australia beacuse I want to saw every place of that countries. Also, I want to make a family and teach to my sons every important and good things to make the dreams possible.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. - The Charlotte women's basketball team
was never able to fully get into an offensive rhythm and could not hold off a
late run by Fordham, allowing the Rams to escape with a 59-56 victory over the
49ers Sunday afternoon in the Atlantic 10 opener for both schools inside Halton
Fordham netted the game's final four points and outscored the Niners 9-3 in the last five minutes to post its first victory in the series in the contest which was televised nationally on CBS Sports Network and featured regional radio coverage on ESPN 730 AM.
Charlotte (11-4, 0-1 A-10) received a double-double effort from senior Jennifer Hailey, who tallied 16 points and a game-best 16 rebounds for her 10th of the season and 30th of her career. Her 30 all-time double-doubles move her into a tie for fourth on the school's career chart with Sylvia Akers (1983-84). Hailey also extended her consecutive games streak with at least one blocked shot to 27, deflecting three Rams attempts.
Junior Ny Hammonds added 15 points, seven assists and five steals in playing the full 40 minutes for just the second time in her career, following a complete-game outing against Florida State Dec. 2.
Senior Jai Forney chipped in 14 points and grabbed seven rebounds, helping the 49ers to a 38-31 win on the glass.
Erin Rooney paced Fordham with 19 points, while Abigail Corning posted a double-double of 14 points and 10 rebounds. Samantha Clark rounded out a trio of Rams in double-figure scoring with 11 points.
The Niners built an early 4-0 lead in the game's first two minutes before Fordham (11-5, 1-0 A-10) responded with three-straight free throws from Marah Strickland after she was fouled taking a shot from behind the arc.
Sophomore Hillary Sigmon dropped in a 3-pointer at 14:44, helping Charlotte build a six-point cushion, 11-5, with 14:44 remaining. However, the Rams answered with a 9-3 run on the back of seven points from Clark during the next 3:18 to claim a 14-11 advantage at the 11:26 mark.
The two teams traded baskets for the next six minutes but a Hailey jumper at 5:43 ignited a 9-0 surge, putting the 49ers back on top, 26-20, with 2:31 left. Highlighting the run was an old-fashioned three-point play from Hammonds, who stole the ball at mid-court and converted a layup at the other end while being fouled. Her hustle sent the teams into the under-four minute media timeout at 3:50 and when play resumed, she dropped in the ensuing charity toss.
Although Charlotte had the six-point edge, it did not last long, as Fordham turned to Charlotte Stoddart for a jumper and Strickland for a triple, slicing the deficit to one. Hammonds hit a pair of free throws with 1:06 to go, widening the 49ers halftime cushion to three, 28-25.
Two defensive stops helped the Niners begin the second half before Sigmon drained another 3-pointer, pushing the advantage back to a half-dozen, 31-25. As the teams continued to trade baskets and the Charlotte lead fluctuating between six and two, it would not be until freshman Kira Gordon hit the second of a two-shot set at the foul line to give the 49ers their largest lead of the game at seven, 51-44, with 7:35 left.
A pair of layups from Arielle Collins and Clark cut the gap to three, 51-48, before Hailey made it a five-point lead again. Rooney then tallied five-straight for the Rams, including an old-fashioned three-point play at 3:36 to knot the score at 53-53.
Senior Amanda Dowe gave the Niners their final lead, 55-53, with her lone field goal at 3:16. Rooney knocked down two more free throws, forcing another tie, at the 1:43 mark. Hailey hit a free throw with 57 seconds to play but Corning hit a turnaround jumper and Rooney connected on a pair of charity tosses with 15 seconds remaining to ice the Fordham triumph.
Charlotte returns to action at 7 p.m. Wednesday when it makes its first conference road trip of the campaign, in Kingston, R.I., against Rhode Island.
Charlotte vs. Fordham Postgame Quotes (1.13.13)
Head Coach Cara Consuegra
Opening statement
A disappointing loss for us. I couldn't be more disappointed with our defensive effort. I have not seen our team perform like that defensively in a really long time. We didn't force any tough shots for Fordham. We let them run everything that they wanted to run. We did not disrupt them, we did not communicate, we had multiple mistakes and switches, and the game plan was probably the poorest effort I've seen out of my team defensively in a long time. You can't let an opponent who's 10-5, and confident, come to your home court and shoot almost 45% from the field. That's just a direct correlation of our defensive effort and unwillingness to adjust after every timeout. You know Fordham's doing a good job this year and they earned this win. It just disappointing to play like that at home. Offensively we struggled, just trying to get into a rhythm. They doubled us inside and gave us a lot of open shots that we knocked out in the second half, but we struggled with in the first half. And certainly, you have to point out, in any close game when we shoot 50% from the free throw line, you have to put yourself in a position to win a game, and that's just has to change.
what was discussed in timeout with 12 seconds left
Well they kept switching up defenses on us which threw us off a little bit, so what we wanted to run we couldn't run. So we called a timeout and we had 12 seconds on the shot clock. We ran a sideline play. We weren't able to get the penetration from Jai that we were hoping to get, and we ended up taking a pretty rough shot. Just not a great execution offensively today. Our execution was really poor. We didn't set screens really well and we didn't really attack the way that we're capable of attacking.
team discussion to overcome loss
Well we just have to keep going. It's early in the season, it's the first game of the conference season. It's disappointing, but you can't pack it in. I'm always honest with my team. I told them how extremely disappointed I was, and I challenge each of them to come back better. I have to be tougher on them. We have some people who are banged up, so I went a little bit lighter on them in practice yesterday, and clearly we're not emotionally mature enough to handle that. I just have to be tougher on them all the time and I will be.
bench play in conference games
We'll have to see. That was based on the flow of the game. It was such a tight game throughout; I wanted to use my most experienced players. Kira Gordon played fabulous, that's why she got a lot of time. Amanda just didn't have it today. She didn't play her best game. Kira just stepped up and did fabulously for us. So, it's probably just going to be a matter of game by game. I think if we could've gotten a little bit more cushion, then we would've been able to rotate a little more.
capability of Amanda Dowe
Amanda's a great player. She just struggles with her confidence. When she missed a couple of those wide open shots early, I think her confidence just dropped. There's just no reason for that. We just have to get better about getting her to battle through adversity, and let her know that when things aren't going perfect for her, she's still capable. She's still one of the best post players in this league, whether she's making or missing shots.
Jennifer Hailey's performance today
She did a great job. They doubled her every time she touched it, they hung all over her, and made it very difficult, but I thought she did a very good job. Every once in a while she rushes a little bit. You see her throw up a shot where she doesn't get squared and she doesn't have her balance, but we kept talking to her. Down the stretch you saw her take, for the most part, some good shots. It's just some adjustment for her, learning as the game goes, what's open for her and how people are playing her. She takes coaching really well, and it's a direct performance of her performance tonight.
On trying
to be aggressive to draw a fifth foul on Erin Rooney and Marah Strickland
Yeah, it's just tough how they play. They're sagging off our guards. They didn't play us tight, so it's really hard to drive on them. They do a good job of protecting their kids that way. So that just makes it tough to be able to go at them when we would play a team tough, aggressive, and denying and giving us those opportunities to drive on them.
Junior Guard Ny Hammonds
losing to Fordham for the first time
It hurts pretty bad because this is the first time in Charlotte history that Fordham has ever beat us. It's very disappointing like Coach said. I feel like we just gave them the game. I feel like they worked hard and earned the game; we didn't.
what more she could have done to help the team today
Defensively I have to get better. Off the ball, I'm not doing too well. On the ball, I'm pressuring the ball well. But defensively I have to get better. I need to help my teammates more and communicate more.

There are now two vaguely secret pop-up shows by critically lauded indie rockers Arcade Fire set for next week in Miami, with tickets on sale 10 a.m. Wednesday.
A concert on Oct. 23 at Mekka in downtown Miami has been added to the previously announced show on Oct. 24 at the Little Haiti Cultural Center (212 NE 59th Terrace, Miami). The concerts are two of several U.S. shows that the emotive Canadian band will be performing under an alternative nom de musique, the Reflektors.
The band recently teased its imminent James Murphy-produced double album with a new single, "Reflektor," a bouncy collaboration with art-rock icon David Bowie.
The Rhythm Foundation posting for the Little Haiti show makes no mention of Arcade Fire, but includes the art work from the "Reflektor" single and a version of the short film Arcade Fire released with the song (see it at JustaReflektor.com).
Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Wednesday for those with the Arcade Fire presale code (see ArcadeFire.com), and to the public at 10 a.m. Thursday. More info: RhythmFoundation.com, and Ticketmaster.com.

Analog Devices Inc. (ADI), a leader in high-performance semiconductors for signal processing applications, introduces the ADF4350 synthesizer with on-chip (VCO (voltage-controlled oscillator) and PLL (phase-locked loop), which is the industry's first fully integrated synthesizer to operate over an exceptionally wide continuous frequency range. Also, ADI introduces a family of highly integrated active and passive mixers that are ideally suited for use in diversity communications applications. The active ADL5802 and passive ADL5356, ADL5358 and ADL5360 dual-channel diversity mixers expand ADI's portfolio of main and diversity products and when coupled with the ADF4350 provide a highly integrated two-chip diversity down conversion solution for cellular base stations, satellite communications and point-to-point microwave radio equipment.
The ADF4350 integrated synthesizer provides designers with a single, low phase-noise solution supporting a continuous tuning range from 137.5 MHz to 4.4 GHz. Alternative approaches require as many as 10 individual VCO/PLL combinations. The VCO in ADI's new ultra-broadband, fully integrated synthesizer features phase-noise of –137 dBc/Hz at a 1 MHz offset when operating at 2.1 GHz, and –155 dBc/Hz at a 1 MHz offset when operating at 137.5 MHz. This corresponds to an integrated rms phase error of 0.36 degrees at 2.1 GHz and 0.02 degrees at 137.5 MHz. The ADF4350 provides two RF output ports and enables the user to digitally program the output power level.
ADI's new mixer family includes the ADL5802 wideband active device, which provides high linearity and modest gain in the industry's smallest package footprint. The family also includes the ADL5356, ADL5358 and ADL5360 band-specific passive mixers, which achieve high linearity and a low-noise figure with integrated IF (intermediate frequency) amplifiers and offer higher gain compared to other active and competing passive devices.
The ADL5802 dual active mixer achieves an IIP3 (third-order input intercept point) of 27 dBm and a single sideband noise figure of 11 dB with a conversion power gain of 1.5 dB within a 4 mm × 4 mm LFCSP (lead-frame chip-scale package). For high linearity applications, the ADL5802 dissipates less than 1 W from a 5 V power supply. The ADL5802 uses high linearity doubly-balanced active mixer cores together with integrated LO (local oscillator) buffer amplifiers to provide high dynamic-range frequency conversion from 300 MHz to 6 GHz. A bias-adjust feature allows the input linearity, single sideband noise figure, and dc current to be optimized using a single control pin.
The ADL5356, ADL5358 and ADL5360 dual passive mixers with integrated IF amplifiers and integrated RF (radio frequency) balun achieve an IIP3 of 26 dBm, a single sideband noise figure of less than 10 dB, and an industry leading 10 dBm blocker noise figure of 16.5 dB. The passive mixers with IF amplifiers provide a conversion power gain of 8.5 dB to 9.5 dB within a small 6 mm x 6 mm LFCSP footprint. The 5 V (nominal) ADL5356, ADL5358 and ADL5360 can also be operated on a 3.3 V supply voltage for power-conscious applications.
The new active and passive mixers are well matched to ADI's ADF4350 synthesizer. In addition, the ADF4350 provides an ideal LO source for Analog Devices' ADL538X demodulators and ADL537x modulators. Together these products provide an ideal RF receive signal path when combined with Analog Devices' AD837X family of high dynamic range variable gain amplifiers and Analog Devices' ADL552X low-noise RF amplifiers.

Image: Ancient Tuscany Watchtower by Gary Godrey
Homily for the 27th Sunday in Ordinary Time
Isaiah 5:1-7
Philippians 4:6-9
Matthew 21:33-43
Got a déjà vu feeling about this gospel passage?
It's the third of today's texts to mention a vineyard
and it's the third week in a row
that Jesus has used the vineyard image in his preaching.
Vineyards for raising grapes were very important in Jesus' day.
They provided boundaries, ownership, food, employment,
income, status, and even, at harvest time, housing in the watchtower
where the vineyard owner or his employees – and their families –
would camp on a platform at the tower's top to watch for thieves.
The important element to keep in mind here is that Jesus chose
a center of land ownership and commerce as an image for his kingdom.
Of course Isaiah beat Jesus to the punch,
using the same vineyard image
some 600 years before Christ was born.
Even in Isaiah's day, the market place and the vineyards that supply it
were apt images of the reign of God.
Commercial realities in our own times are more complex.
and it seems over the past couple of years no one was keeping watch
in the tower over our nation's economy:
either that or thieves had occupied the tower.
The land and who owns it… the crops and who shares them…
ancient questions that still obtain in our own day.
In Isaiah we see that God has done everything possible
to make the vineyard a place of beauty and productivity.
But the vineyard has gone to seed, producing nothing
but ruin and bloodshed.
In Jesus' parable,
the vineyard is fruitful but those charged with its care
are overwhelmed by greed and want more and more for themselves,
so much so that their greed consumes them.
Isaiah's vineyard has no hope, no future
while Christ's vineyard will be handed over to others,
more worthy of trust and confidence.
Our own "vineyard" in the United States
and the world's market place often fail
to bring forth a harvest to satisfy global human hunger:
many waste food on a daily basis, food for which others beg.
The greed of some regularly eclipses the needs of others
and still there is ruin, homelessness, poverty, bloodshed
and an outcry for justice.
Only at our own peril would we who all have more than we need
ignore the warnings in these vineyard tales.
What can we do?
There are many ways to share the harvest we so easily take for granted.
Every week there are opportunities
to literally take from the surplus of our own cupboards
and provide assistance for the needs of the poor.
Someone will even drive your contributions
to Lazarus House in Lawrence
– you don't even need to leave Concord.
Once a month a group of students and adults from our parish
prepare a meal and bring it to serve at the Boston Rescue Mission,
sharing our plenty with those who have nothing.
And once every four years there is a chance for us
to choose those who seek a place in the watch tower
and stewardship over the vineyard of the world's peace and plenty.
As we debate, argue and work towards decisions for November 4,
we should look through several lenses
as we consider candidates and their parties and policies.
We should look through the lens of faith
and the wisdom, insight and counsel it affords us.
We should look through the lens of scripture
and ask: to what choices does God's Word call us?
We should look through the lens of the tradition and teaching
of our Church and seek to understand it as deeply as possible.
And as we shape our conscience and convictions,
we would do well to look through the lens of St. Paul's words today
where he wrote:
whatever is true… whatever is honorable…
whatever is just… whatever is pure…
whatever is lovely… whatever is gracious…
whatever is of excellence and worthy of praise…
think about these things...
Joseph Biden, John McCain, Barack Obama and Sarah Palin --
and their respective party's platforms and policies.
Paul's list of virtues sets the bar high, appropriately so,
precisely because what's at stake in such decisions
is the welfare of God's people and the stewardship of creation.
Scripture tell us:
Wisdom has built herself a house and set a table for her children…
It's at Wisdom's table we gather today:
Christ prepares a table for us
where we are fed not with slogans or sound bytes or talking points
but with a food that reminds us that selfless giving
is at the heart of who we are as God's people.
If you seek what is
true, honorable, just, pure, lovely, gracious,
of excellence and worthy of praise,
then come to the Eucharist
for here we will find wisdom to deepen our thoughts
and light for the decisions we make.
As St. Paul says, "Think about these things…"
Note: It was a comment on a related post that drew me this Sunday's reading from Philippians as the hinge text for this homily. H/T to Anne! After preaching this homily twice this morning, I'm aware that representatives from "both sides of the aisle" have interpreted what I said as a plug for their candidate. My purpose here was not to endorse a candidate but rather to invite and urge people to study their political options through the lenses of faith, scripture and Church teaching - nothing more and nothing less than that.

Ginguro Reports Additional Gold Mineralization at Silver Lake and Western Reef Areas
By: Marketwired .
Dec. 10, 2012 08:49 AM
SUDBURY, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 12/10/12 -- Ginguro Exploration Inc. (TSX VENTURE:GEG) is pleased to report channel sampling results from the Silver Lake Gold trend, together with drill results from all 19 holes completed in the Western Reef Area at the Pardo Gold Project.
The recently identified Silver Lake Gold trend has produced the most consistent higher grade mineralization identified so far at the Pardo project. Recent mechanical stripping along 300 meters in an approximate North/South direction has exposed numerous flat lying quartz pebble conglomerate beds or reefs at surface, all of which are gold bearing.
Of the 20 channel samples taken at the Silver Lake zone, 15 were from the lower reef. These 15 channel samples, which total 14.86 meters in length and average 5.7 g/t gold, were taken across approximately 300 m of stripping. Results from all 20 channel samples, for both the upper and lower reef at the Silver Lake Zone, including a highlight of 3 metres of 10.4 g/t gold, are summarized in the following table:
Highlights of Silver Lake Sampling Pebble Length Gold Channel bed (m) (g/t) 1 Lower 0.16 1.5 2 Upper 0.36 2.6 3 Lower 1.08 1.4 4 Upper 0.19 5.8 5 Third 0.56 0.1 6 Lower 3.00 10.4 7 Lower 0.72 13.1 8 Lower 2.00 6.3 9 Lower 1.70 10.0 10 Lower 1.20 1.3 11 Lower 1.50 1.9 12 Lower 0.50 2.6 13 Lower 0.50 0.4 14 Lower 0.50 0.6 15 Lower 0.30 4.3 16 Lower 0.50 1.8 17 Lower 0.50 3.5 18 Upper 0.50 0.6 19 Upper 0.50 1.0 20 Lower 0.70 2.9
"Our recent discovery of extensive gold mineralization at surface at the Silver Lake Zone is a major breakthrough for the Pardo Project. These reefs at Silver Lake are analogous in every way to gold ores of the Witwatersrand basin," stated Richard Murphy President and CEO of Ginguro. "They are well sorted and contain Uranium and Gold in similar quantities to their South African cousins. We still have considerable geological work to do on these rocks in order to fully understand them. However, it is fair to say now that this is the discovery we have sought for a number of years and is the discovery that we felt Pardo had the potential to produce. Furthermore, we interpret this surface mineralization to occur approximately 200 meters above the base of the host formation. This means that there is a potential to discover multiple gold reefs at Silver Lake, including a gold-rich basal reef."
Maps of the stripped areas, as well as photographs of the channel sampling, at Silver Lake can be seen on the Company's website at www.ginguro.com. All Silver Lake channel sampling reported in this release is located on 100% wholly-owned Ginguro-owned claims.
Ginguro has now also received all assay results from the 19 holes drilled in the Western Reef Zone. Mineralization at the Western Reef Zone occurs in two distinct conglomerate units, from near surface down to a few 10s of metres. Significant intersections include 6.93 metres of 0.8 g/t gold in hole PD-12-55. Highlights from drill results from the Western Reef can be found in the following table.
Highlights of Western Reef area drill results From To Length Gold Hole (m) (m) (m) (g/t) PD-12-049 6.92 7.45 0.53 3.4 plus 31.88 32.31 0.43 0.6 PD-12-050 5.75 6.00 0.25 1.1 plus 8.00 8.25 0.25 1.0 plus 33.50 35.25 1.75 1.0 PD-12-051 12.50 13.00 0.50 0.7 plus 29.25 31.50 2.25 0.8 PD-12-052 36.81 37.56 0.75 0.6 PD-12-053 38.25 38.90 0.65 0.7 PD-12-054 9.09 13.57 4.48 0.6 PD-12-055 15.25 22.18 6.93 0.8 PD-12-058 2.79 4.25 1.46 0.8 PD-12-059 4.00 5.25 1.25 0.9 PD-12-062 9.00 10.72 1.72 1.4 PD-12-063 29.38 34.43 5.05 0.6 including 32.10 32.74 0.64 1.2 PD-12-064 3.95 4.21 0.26 5.1 PD-12-064 50.5 51.15 0.65 0.8 Note: Intervals reported approximate true widths of mineralization.
Of 19 holes drilled in the Western Reefs area, three holes (PD-12-56, 66, and 67) did not encounter the target rocks and went directly into basement. Hole PD-12-60 appears not to have been drilled deep enough to intersect the target horizon. Holes PD-12-57, 61 and 65 did not intersect significant gold mineralization.
All drilling on the Western Reef Area is located within the Pardo JV property. Ginguro holds a 55% interest in the Pardo JV and is increasing its interest by funding 100% of the current budget program. Endurance Gold Corporation holds the remaining interest in the Pardo JV.

Mali official says election workers freed in north
TIMBUKTU, Mali (AP) — A group of election workers, who were kidnapped over the weekend in northern Mali's troubled Kidal region where they had gone to distribute voter ID cards, were released Sunday, officials said.
The incident comes a week before Mali is rushing ahead with a July 28 presidential election, despite concerns over the lack of government control in the province of Kidal, which remains largely the turf of Tuareg separatists. The rebels known as the National Movement for the Liberation of the Azawad, or NMLA, reluctantly signed an accord last month, renouncing their claim to independence and agreeing to allow government administrators to return ahead of the election.
"The hostages were found not far from Tessalit," said Kidal's Governor Col. Adama Kamissoko. One of the hostages was able to use his mobile phone to call the French forces stationed nearby, who are called Serval, he said. "Serval was able to locate them, and then put pressure on the NMLA in order to find the hostages. This morning Serval went and brought the hostages and handed them over."
The election workers, who numbered at least five people including four election workers and the deputy mayor of Tessalit, were driven to Camp Amachache, a military camp located 7 kilometers (4 miles) outside Tessalit, which is the base of Chadian forces with the United Nations peacekeeping mission.
Officials differed on how many people had been kidnapped, with the governor saying a total of five, while the ministry of territorial administration originally said six were taken.
The kidnapping is one more worrying sign for the upcoming presidential election. One of the 28 candidates in the race, opposition politician Tiebile Drame who came in third in the last election six years ago, dropped out last week, arguing that the election risks worsening Mali's crisis.
In the spring of 2012, Tuareg rebels swept across northern Mali, seizing the major towns, and briefly declaring the birth of their Tuareg nation, only to be overpowered by al-Qaida's army in the region, which pushed out the separatists and set out to create an Islamic emirate in the France-sized territory they had seized.
The rebel invasion in the north came at the same time as a military coup in the country's government-held south in March. The international community has been pushing Mali to hold the upcoming vote in order to install legitimate leaders, who can negotiate a lasting peace in the north. At Mali's request, France sent over 4,000 troops in January to help liberate the rebel-held areas. They succeeded in flushing out the fighters in all except the region of Kidal, which seven days before the scheduled presidential election still has the flag of Azawad, the Tuareg nation, fluttering from flagpoles in the city center.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Cleveland Browns wide receivers Greg Little and Josh Gordon have been convicted of traffic offenses after pleading no contest in separate cases.
An attorney for Little entered the plea Tuesday on two charges related to license plate and parking violations. Cleveland Municipal Court records show the 24-year-old athlete was fined $472. It's the latest traffic trouble for Little, who previously admitted driving 127 mph in a 55 mph zone and promised to abide by the law.
The 22-year-old Gordon had been ticketed twice for speeding, once for driving 98 mph. He pleaded no contest Tuesday to a speeding charge and paid $296 in fines and court costs.
Browns coach Rob Chudzinski has said the players' driving behavior was unacceptable and that he spoke to Little and Gordon about their actions.
