Immunization highlights: 2012
Reaching more people with existing vaccines
Global partners launch new plan to control and eliminate measles and rubella
In April 2012, the Measles and Rubella Initiative (formerly the Measles Initiative) announced a new global strategy aimed at reducing measles deaths and congenital rubella syndrome to zero. The launch of the Global Measles and Rubella Strategic Plan 2012-2020 coincided with the publication of new data using a state-of-the-art methodology which showed that accelerated efforts to reduce measles deaths have resulted in a 74% reduction in global measles mortality, from an estimated 535 300 deaths in 2000 to 139 300 in 2010.
"A three-quarters drop in measles deaths worldwide shows just how effective well-run vaccination programmes can be. Now we need to take the next logical step and vaccinate children against rubella, too."
Dr Margaret Chan, Director-General, World Health Organization
Vaccination has been key to this progress. Through increased routine immunization coverage and large-scale immunization campaigns, sub-Saharan Africa made the most progress with an 85% drop in measles deaths between 2000 and 2010.
The new data showed that progress in reducing measles deaths was especially strong from 2001 to 2008. However, when investment and political commitment to measles control faltered in 2008 and 2009, many children were not immunized. Measles came roaring back and caused large outbreaks in Africa, Asia, Eastern Mediterranean and Europe.
These outbreaks combined with a delayed start in intensifying measles control in India, meant that the goal of 90% reduction in measles mortality by end 2010 compared with 2000 levels was not met. India accounted for about 47% of global measles deaths in 2010. In addition, target dates for measles elimination goals in the WHO Eastern Mediterranean and European regions had to be revised.
The new Strategic Plan presents a five-pronged strategy to cut global measles deaths by at least 95% by 2015 compared with 2000 levels and to achieve measles and rubella elimination in at least five WHO regions by 2020. The strategies include:
- high vaccination coverage;
- monitoring spread of disease using laboratory-backed surveillance;
- outbreak preparedness and response and measles case management;
- communication and community engagement; and
- research and development.
Let every child have a name: The road to a world without measles
At the 2012 Measles & Rubella Initiative annual meeting held in September, the Initiative partners unveiled a new exhibit inspired by illustrator Sophie Blackall's journey to the Democratic Republic of the Congo where she learned firsthand about measles and its devastating consequences.
The exhibit Let Every Child Have a Name: The Road to a World Without Measles is a series of evocative illustrations colored in Ms Blackall's charming, insightful style. Viewers can join a pirogue as it travels to a remote village up the Congo river; watch health workers as they carefully map their communities for a measles campaign; and join children as they queue with their families.

Progress towards eliminating maternal and neonatal tetanus
Maternal and neonatal tetanus kills tens of thousands of newborns each year, most of them in developing countries. Yet, tetanus is preventable through hygienic birth practices and immunization of women of childbearing age with tetanus toxoid vaccine.
In 2012, six additional countries ―Burkina Faso, Cameroon, China, Guinea-Bissau, Tanzania and Timor-Leste ― were validated as having eliminated maternal and neonatal tetanus. This brings the number of countries that have eliminated the disease to 29 out of 59 countries where maternal and neonatal tetanus persist as public health problems.
From 1999 to 2012, more than 108 million women of reproductive age living in high-risk areas have been reached with more than two doses of Tetanus Toxoid vaccine.
The maternal and neonatal tetanus elimination initiative ― a partnership launched in 1999 by UNICEF, UNFPA and WHO ― continues to gain momentum with funding from BD (Becton, Dickinson and Company) , U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; Procter & Gamble (Pampers); Kiwanis International, GAVI Alliance , UNICEF National Committees and others.
With only two years remaining before the 2015 elimination deadline, there are still 30 countries where maternal and neonatal tetanus persist as public health problems.

Progress towards a polio-free world: looking back on 2012
The year ended with the fewest children paralyzed by polio, in the fewest places, in history. Just over 220 cases have been reported so far for 2012 – a greater than 60% reduction from 2011. Over the year, through the tireless dedication of the on-the-ground heroes of polio eradication, more than two billion doses of vaccine were distributed to 429 million children around the world. And too many of these heroes gave their lives to reach some of the most vulnerable children in the world with vaccine.
2012 was the year that India was removed from the list of polio-endemic countries. Angola and the Democratic Republic of the Congo both put a stop to re-established polio transmission. In May, the 194 Member States of the World Health Assembly, declared the completion of polio eradication a "programmatic emergency for global public health". This declaration announced that the global community was committed to ending this disease, and granted countries greater powers to prevent its spread.
A key factor in the progress in 2012 has been enhanced country ownership. All three remaining endemic countries – Nigeria, Pakistan and Afghanistan – implemented their own emergency action plans and introduced oversight mechanisms at the highest levels of government (such as the Presidential Task Force in Nigeria).
Technical and programmatic innovation played a lead role in 2012, with GPS technology making a difference in ensuring that vaccination teams reach every child. The introduction of a direct disbursement mechanism in Pakistan ensured that health workers were paid directly and on time. Delegations from India to the remaining endemic countries helped transfer vital knowledge about micro-planning, accountability, strategies for special populations and data collection. All this paid off in more children being reached in the sanctuaries of the poliovirus. Nigeria was the only country which saw an increase in cases – and even there, more children were being reached with vaccine in the latter half of 2012 than in the first half.
Tremendous sacrifices are being made to reach these children. In Pakistan, an unacceptable and horrifying series of attacks on health workers brought the year to a tragic close. Parts of all three endemic countries remain off-limits at the end of the year, but through the ongoing negotiations of partners we continue to reach more and more children, including around 30 000 children living in the Tirah Valley of Pakistan who were vaccinated in 2012 for the first time in three years.

Unique identification can occur at many different levels, at item level,
on the transport unit, on the returnable transport item, at grouping levels,
and elsewhere. Such entities are often handled by several parties, both public
and private, throughout their life cycle. Each of these parties must be able to
identify and trace such distinct entities so that reference can be made to
associated information such as quality inspection data, the chemical substance
contained, the batch or lot number of parts, components or raw materials, etc.
The associated information is typically held in some kind of database.
The information can be accessed using EDI exchange or another appropriate
access protocol, e.g. a directory access protocol.
There are considerable benefits if the identity of the entity is
represented as a bar code or other AIDC (Automatic Identification and Data
Capture) media and attached to or made a constituent part of that which is
being uniquely identified so that
* it can be read electronically, thus minimizing errors;
* one identity for the same item can be used by all parties;
* each party can use the identity to look up the data associated with the entity.
All AIDC technologies have the potential to encode an identity. It is
expected that application standards, using various automatic identification
technologies, will be developed based upon the identity as a prime key. These
application standards, which can include additional rules for which level of
identification should be used, are often made available from the Issuing Agency.
This International Standard provides information on the identification of Issuing Agencies for the identification of transport units in conformance with ISO / IEC 15459 - Information Technology - Unique identification of transport units.

Newberry County (WLTX) - There are more than a few Chicago Cubs fans in the Midlands but Newberry County may have the most in one area because they can call one of the Cubs their own.
Carl Edwards is a graduate of Mid-Carolina High School and was drafted by the Texas Rangers in 2011 right out of high school.
In 2013, Edwards was part of a mid-season trade with Matt Garza brought Edwards to the Windy City. In September of 2015, he made his major league debut for the Cubs who have made it to their first World Series since 1945 and Edwards is part of that post-season roster.
The 6-3 Edwards is listed at 170 pounds and is nicknamed "the String Bean Slinger". His weight may be even lighter than 170, but his thin frame hides a fastball that can reach 96 miles per hour. That fastball could be displayed on baseball's biggest stage if Edwards is called out of the bullpen.
Edwards is part of a Cubs team which has put the franchise back in the World Series for the first time since 1945. Chicago won it all in 1907 and 1908.

A lot has happened since the last startup advice post here on DailyTekk that I'm sure you don't want to miss. First, we explored the issue of failure and whether or not it was fatal. The responses will give you courage and hope in your quest to start your own business. Second, we explored the concept of creativity in If Creativity is Currency, Are You Broke? I think the name speaks for itself. Both articles are must reads for entrepreneurs.
Yes, this 3rd installment of startup advice (specifically tailored to tech entrepreneurs, but equally useful to all founders and teams) is labelled 'September' but I think you'll find that what is said here is pretty timeless. How can you go wrong when you have the mind behind the Star Trek Holodeck giving you advice? Since each person here represents a different sector, background and experience level, I'll ask once again: where on earth are you going to get access to these great people all neatly organized for you to peruse? Just here 🙂

Don't Wait
Contributed by: Gregarious Narain, CEO of Chute
Don't wait! Most people will have an idea and talk about it for ages. The reality is that idea is running away from you every day unless you chase it. I don't think you need to quit your job, blow your savings, and alienate your family (that all comes later), but you can always find ways to put good, productive energy into refining your idea and understanding of the customer it helps.
Will You Do Whatever It Takes?
Contributed by: Gene Dolgoff, CEO of 3-D Vision
Forget it! Just kidding. But it is a difficult and painful road, littered with strife, disappointments, greedy and hurtful people, and sacrifice. However, if you are lucky and are pursuing a product that there really is a market for, a big market, and you have a really good economical solution, it can really be worth it. You could make a lot of money, see your efforts and creations actualized in the real world, meet and make friends with many interesting and wonderful people, and have a great time enjoying the ride.
Before starting your company, you have to do the research to determine if your product will work, if it fills a need of enough people, if anyone else has something like it or something that will make it irrelevant, if there is or most likely will be a big market for it, and if it is likely to be able to be produced, marketed, and sold with a good profit margin. You need to ask yourself if you are willing to make the commitment to do whatever it takes to see it through. You have to write a patent application on it and file it. You have to make a prototype or find a way to convincingly demonstrate workability and produceability. You have to set up a company, write a business plan with justifiable projections, and begin the arduous road to finding one or more people that are willing to invest in your idea. The real secret to success is to never give up. Most of the time, success goes to the last one standing.
Integrate With A Vibrant Startup Community
Contributed by: Dave Kearney, Founder at Fluid Software
Reach out. If there isn't a vibrant community of startups and other like minded individuals where you are, move to somewhere there is. Starting a tech business takes a huge commitment in terms of personal time and offers massive highs and lows. The more like minded people you have around you, pushing you forward, understanding your pain, sharing the same experiences and broadening your network, the more likely you are to succeed.
Don't Be Afraid of Failure
Contributed by: Michael Brooks Jr., Co-Founder of LifeKraze
Go for it! Take this opportunity to pour your heart and soul into something that you are passionate about. Tech entrepreneurship is a particuarly interesting field because the barriers to entry are so low. That means you have no excuse not to start, but you'll have tons of competition from day 1. You will encounter many obstacles but keep moving forward, and stay true to your vision. Don't be afraid of failure—If you're not failing, you're not pushing yourself. It will be the greatest learning experience of your life, so just keep going and never give up!
Contributed by: John Payne, CEO at Zumbox
Build the business around something that excites you rather than something that looks good on a spreadsheet. It's best to have domain knowledge or other understanding of the market that you can bring to bear. That kind of knowledge is a great "unfair competitive advantage" vs just knowing the technology. And then FOCUS, FOCUS, FOCUS on the main pain point in your domain area.

As it has for several decades, drug use continues to shape the criminal justice system in general and the court system in particular. The North Carolina General Assembly asked the North Carolina Institute of Medicine to convene a Task Force to study substance abuse services in the state and to provide a final report and recommendations to the 2009 NC General Assembly. More than one-half of all criminal cases before the NC courts involve people with alcohol and other drug (AOD) abuse and addiction. In 2008, 202,942 drug-related charges were brought before the NC Criminal Courts and there were 72,867 DWI charges. These do not include approximately one million additional criminal cases such as assault, breaking and entering, and larceny that were committed under the influence of AOD or committed to support the offender's addiction. The Task Force presented their findings and recommendations in January 2008. Thirty two recommendations were made. Growth of the state's adult and family DTCs was one of only 11 "PRIORITY RECOMMENDATIONS".
For the full report, go to:
Every study that has assessed the extent of the problem has concluded that at least 75% of criminal court filings, not to mention a substantial percentage of domestic and other civil court filings, are the product of substance abuse.
Independent efforts by our public servants in law enforcement and the judiciary to stem the flow of drugs and curb drug-driven crime via arrest and punishment have met with little success.
While treatment interventions are promising, getting offenders into treatment and keeping them active in a recovery program for at least a year (with two years being the recommended yardstick for enhancing successful treatment outcomes) has continued to plague both the criminal justice and the treatment systems. The DTC concept, with its coercive abstinence philosophy, specifically addresses this dilemma.
Drug courts represent the coordinated efforts of the judiciary, prosecution, defense bar, probation, law enforcement, treatment, mental health, social services, and child protection services to actively and forcefully intervene and break the cycle of substance abuse, addiction, and crime. As an alternative to less effective interventions, drug courts quickly identify substance abusing offenders and place them under strict court monitoring and community supervision, coupled with effective, long-term treatment services.
In this blending of systems, the drug court participant undergoes an intensive regime of substance abuse and mental health treatment, case management, drug testing, and probation supervision while reporting to regularly scheduled status hearings before a judge with specialized expertise in the drug court model. In addition, drug courts may provide job skills training, family or group counseling, and many other life-skill enhancement services.
From the earliest evaluations, researchers have determined that drug courts provide "closer, more comprehensive supervision and much more frequent drug testing and monitoring during the program than other forms of community supervision. More importantly, drug use and criminal behavior are substantially reduced while offenders are participating in drug court" (Belenko, 1998; 2001).

April 29, 2014 – NCUA Board nominee Mark McWatters and three Federal Reserve Board nominees are expected to be approved by the Senate Banking Committee today, which is then set to take up a housing finance reform measure drafted by panel leaders.The committee will also be taking action on several federal agency nominations, including:
If approved by the committee, these nominations would next be addressed in the Senate, which could vote to confirm them in upcoming weeks.Following the votes on the nominations, the panel will proceed to consideration of the draft housing finance reform package proposed by Senate Banking Committee Chairman Tim Johnson, D-S.D., and Ranking Member Mike Crapo, R-Idaho. After reviewing proposed changes to the package in a manager's amendment over the weekend, NAFCU lobbyists said the changes would be a positive step toward addressing some credit union concerns, but other issues including the costs and ease of transition to an entirely new system remain. NAFCU expressed these concerns and more in a letter to the Committee yesterday ahead of the mark-up.

But in terms of the larger issue of information glut, there are still significant areas where content has not been made widely available, such as legal support and law enforcement (e.g., evidentiary corpora), or national intelligence.

The solution space for these areas is usually not called a "semantic web," but the underlying problem is the same - to develop (semi)automated tools capable of helping humans (experts and non-experts alike) filter "meaning" from an ocean of content.

There have been proposals to use "Web 2.0" tools within the intelligence community, but I suspect its relatively smaller size (relative to the vast data they monitor) will diminish the effectiveness of such tools.Kenhttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-10939512.post-66784507878014820522007-09-22T19:06:00.000-07:002007-09-22T19:06:00.000-07:00I take issue with the notion of the semantic web a...I take issue with the notion of the semantic web as a whole. Why turn to a solution of difficult, unreliable, automated high-level reasoning when we have the web community acting collectively to process this information?

Love it or hate it, "Web 2.0" is upon us, and there are enough people out there tagging pages and data in a *useful* way (del.icio.us, e.g.) that a move to some ridiculous metafile is simply too.. well.. meta!

Consider the motivating example FTA, where one would "ask a computer to find you a low budget vacation, keeping in mind that you have a 3 year old child." I may wish to taylor the results in ways I know ("I want a room with a balcony"), or -- and here's the difficult part -- in ways I don't yet know. Only after I start looking around, digging through a few pages (googling "traveling with children is sure a good start!) will I start to even see what my options are, or what sources of information I agree with. I do not see how a semantic web agent would help with this, and if I already knew these things, then I probably wouldn't have needed the semantic agent in the first place.

Long story short: isn't collective action enough??Davehttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-10939512.post-26852434114425571802007-08-27T14:49:00.000-07:002007-08-27T14:49:00.000-07:00Fascinating - thanks, Mike.

I deeply enjoy reading your blog and the hints to new approaches, analyses, and tools. My question: Are you familiar with Automap from the CASOS/CMU community?

It's been awhile since I've looked at PHPSurveyor, and clearly the time has been well-spent on their side. I'd consider it a very strong candidate for large-scale surveys, though I imagine its apparent complexity might give many social scientists pause. Most of us are still trying to figure out how to use our email.

The new version of PHPSurveyor looks very promising. It will allow multi-language surveys and has a lot of new features compared to the old one. If you are able to install your own survey software and are low on money this is the best choice I can see since it is for free with source code.

Indeed, I think we'd all prefer that someone in control of a botnet *not* be able to affect policy.

However, the Internet is so much more than email! (Well, it's mainly porn, but that's for another blog..) youtube, for instance, turned the tides in the midterm elections.

I think the key here is that, in part thanks to spam (who'd'a thunk?), users of the Internet have come to realize that pseudonyms (like email addresses) are cheap and are therefore given little weight, but persistent identity with some degree of history (like a blogger), or a youtube video, are truly noticed.

So let this be a call to arms to do what Ken and Mike are doing; make a net presense for yourself, give your electronic content more weight than a random spammer.. or just lip sync the Pokemon theme song on youtube.. yay Internet for making both choices equally email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-10939512.post-78934332528187287272007-03-23T01:14:00.000-07:002007-03-23T01:14:00.000-07:00Hello.We are working in the same field and would l...Hello.

Giggs - Never Again!
Nobody knows for just how long Ryan Giggs will continue playing.
The veteran continues to defy his age and produce performances that rank up there with any he`s previously produced.
But, as Giggs heads towards another Champions League Final, he`s in no doubt as to what he thinks about the last time we encountered Barcelona in a similar final, recalling,
"The worst I`ve ever felt was my first full season when we lost the league to Leeds but the European Cup Final in Rome was a close second."
"That feeling of emptiness. We just didn`t perform - that was the worst thing."
"At United, you always pride yourself that when you lose a goal you react."
"But we didn`t that night. I`ve never watched the game back. The manager has probably watched it six or seven times but I`ve not."
"You`re on the coach outside the stadium and you know you haven`t played well personally and you haven`t played well as a team."
"It`s the last game of the season and you`ll never get it back and you`re just gutted."
And as for winning it again, at the very place we first won it in 1968, Giggs had this to add,
"We know it`s a tremendous stadium and steeped in history. United won the European Cup there and hopefully we can do it again."
"We`ve played in some great finals at Wembley, so to do it again in the Champions League, it doesn`t get any better than that."
It probably doesn`t, if you can get a bl**dy ticket!

Fresh perspective
Alex Dunn catches up with Matt Smith to discuss his new life at Leeds United and an alternative route into the game that has seen him rise from university football to the Championship in little over two years
By Alex Dunn - @skysportsaldunn
Last Updated: 21/09/13 2:33pm
In an industry not exactly known for its self-awareness, it's refreshing to speak to a footballer who knows exactly who he is, where he's going and how he's going to get there. Google Matt Smith and you are inundated with stories about the good doctor but in January last year it was another Matt Smith who entered the national consciousness. A brace for League One strugglers Oldham Athletic that helped knock Liverpool out of the FA Cup may have had sub-editors asking 'Matt who?' as they readied headlines, but by the time he'd repeated such goalscoring feats against Everton in the fifth round his name was well known in Championship boardrooms.
Indeed, such was the broadsheet obsession with his background that when he crossed the Pennines over the summer to join Leeds United we even knew his father, a former professional footballer, is a doctor; albeit of the medical than Time Lord variety.
A Manchester University graduate in International management with American Studies just two years ago, Smith is that rare beast; a footballer with a degree. At 6ft 6in he also happens to cast the kind of shadow that has defenders who don't relish a physical battle feeling their hamstrings before a ball has been kicked. To speak to he's less guarded than many of his brethren, open and articulate, and yet at the same there's no doubt he also possesses the hardened drive that separates the promising park player from the professional. It's difficult to articulate but they've all got it.
"I'd always been intrigued about the game at a higher level," he tells me when asked about the Liverpool game. "I've always said that in the air I've never felt threatened by anyone and I still maintain that. I said to myself it'd be nice to challenge myself against those at the top end. It definitely gave me confidence and an insight into what it's like higher up. There's a lot I need to do to improve my game, but I know that, and I'm relentless in terms of fine-tuning.
"I was fortunate at Oldham to play against Liverpool and Everton and do well. The Liverpool game catapulted my profile from relative obscurity to national headlines. From that point of view everyone was aware of me all of a sudden. But I think it was all coming together before that. I'd had a string of games and was improving in my overall game so that gave me the confidence all strikers thrive on.
"It's been a very fast transition but I've enjoyed every second. It's a rollercoaster ride to where I am now but I always maintain that I want to keep progressing, to keep improving. It's important not to be content at where I am now but to keep pushing on. I'm an ambitious guy, very focused on where I'm going."
It's an ambition that has taken him from university football to Solihull Moors to Oldham to Leeds United in little over two years. It's perhaps no surprise then that he's loving life in west Yorkshire and playing in front of a partisan and sizeable Elland Road crowd.
"I'm someone who will always give my all and I think with Leeds fans that is all they ask for. They're very vocal and seem to be really positive, which is so important. To stand by their team is key and it's always 'Leeds, Leeds, Leeds' whenever I go out. We're a family here and they really spur us on on the pitch.
"The first month has been very positive. From a professional point of view I'm happy. We've had some good results and I feel I've made a contribution to the team. I've settled in well. Leeds is a new city for me but I feel comfortable and I'm enjoying it.
"The thing that I've noticed with the squad the manager has assembled is that it's a very close-knit group. I've never really experienced team spirit as good as it is at Leeds. From that point of view it's really positive, everyone is behind one another. We're heading in the right direction, I've no doubt about."
It's clear the gratitude he feels towards his manager Brian McDermott in giving him his chance in football's second tier: "He's been a tremendous help in my career. Obviously bringing me to Leeds in the first place and to thrust me into that environment, he's had to take a leap of faith with me. I've figured in seven out of nine games so far so I'd like to think I've impacted as best I could. There are a couple of games where I haven't been as happy as others but that's just something to work on. He's a terrific manager and I'm really excited to work with him."
Smith may not be the subtlest player in the Football League but when you've demonstrated you can make Martin Skrtel and Sylvain Distin look as though they're ready to burst into tears on the pitch, there's no point using a cat flap when you've a bark like a Doberman.
When I put it to him that his physicality is a novelty that is difficult for unaccustomed centre-halves to deal with, it's a point he's happy to acquiesce on. Refreshingly, he doesn't add any superfluous reasoning about his respective ability on the deck either.
"There is a certain shock factor, I'd agree with that. The structure of the game at the higher end of the pyramid is very much geared about technical, more cultured European-style players that can run between the lines. Sticking a 6ft 6in striker up there as a battering ram is a different type of thing for top level defenders to think about.
"It's the old fashioned number nine that's a dying breed in football. You can probably count them on one hand. There are not many big lads bashing about the box these days. It gives any team something different to think about though. It doesn't necessarily have to be plan A but coming off the bench it's an effective plan B at times."
Smith acknowledges that being an effective plan B has its drawbacks. Convincing his manager he is worth more than a game-changer role from the substitutes' bench is his next target. He has started just one game for Leeds so far this season, scoring in the Capital One Cup defeat of Doncaster.
"My greatest strength may be my greatest weakness. I do have that ability to impact a game but for me it's about smoothing off all the rough edges in my game so I can be a regular starter.
"If you look at the statistics I'm closing on 100 appearances now, which is great going as this is only my third season. Having said that, if you notice the starts versus the substitute appearances it paints a different picture. It can be demoralising but then it's so rewarding when things go right. More often than not I'm coming off the bench and I always feel I can change the course of the match. That's a real positive and I've always had chances when I've been involved.
"There are plenty of opportunities for the big target man to start. The likes of Andy Carroll and Rickie Lambert are players I really look up to. If you ask Luke (Murphy, his housemate), I was shouting my head off when Rickie scored for England. He's come from the lower leagues and he's proven that if you're a good goalscorer you can do it at any level. If anything, he's a little underrated in my book.
"In the first two years at Oldham I was guilty of missing some really good opportunities but I always work off the positives and take strength from getting into the right positions. I know that you're rewarded for hard work and that's not just on the field on match day, but on the training ground."
As someone who in his final year at university was out training with his father when most students are still coming in from a night out, sometimes as early as 5.30am, Smith knows all about sacrifices.
"University was a sacrifice, certainly the second part of it when I was studying whilst playing part-time non-league football. I'd train in the early morning before going to lectures. It's like anything in life though, if you want to excel in a particular field you have to make sacrifices and push yourself. When I pull on a Leeds United shirt though I know it's all been worth it."
With the current zeitgeist harbouring an obsession with how footballers are produced in this country, it's interesting to hear the opinion of someone who bypassed entirely the closeted world of academies and professional coaching.
"Obviously I've got a different perspective from my team-mates. I've worked in other environments other than football. I understand just how lucky I am to be a footballer and cherish every opportunity I'm given. Having worked in various professions I'm fully aware of just how good a job being a footballer really is.
"On the flip side, there are definitely times when I feel I'm playing catch-up. I've not had an academy background and the benefit of working with professional coaches. That's not to say the coaches I worked with in non-league weren't knowledgeable, but I'm used to a very different style of football to those who've come through an established youth system.
"I think the higher you go up the more mentally challenging it becomes. The mental toughness isn't something I thought about when I started playing full-time. It's what you do, all day every day. In a game the smallest details can change your mind set. It's a very tough thing mentally to deal with. The tempo of training is more intense too. It's going to take more time to fully take that transition in my stride."
As someone with an academic background I'm keen to learn if it annoys him when footballers en mass are accused of being thick. He doesn't shirk the question: "There is that stereotype about footballers being thick. Being brutally honest I've seen examples of when they fit the stereotype. And then there are many, many more when it's pleasantly surprising how articulate and intelligent a lot of footballers are. There are a lot of footballers who are incredibly street smart and savvy in the decisions they make. It's like any sphere of life, there are some people that fit the moulds of the stereotypes and many more that don't."
Smith most definitely doesn't.

Dory Funk Jr. couldn't secure a place for his homemade film, "The Lady Wrestler," in the inaugural Silver Springs International Film Festival.
Professional wrestler Dory Funk Jr. couldn't secure a place for his homemade film, "The Lady Wrestler," in the inaugural Silver Springs International Film Festival.
So Funk has arranged his own red carpet premiere — just for his movie. It will be held Friday at, of all places, the tony Seven Sisters Inn bed-and-breakfast.
The movie is a 20-minute dramatic action comedy. It stars Funk and Hollywood Heather Webber, 22, a buxom blonde whom Funk has trained for two years in real life and again in the short film.
Funk's film premiere for "The Lady Wrestler" is not affiliated with the Silver Springs International Film Festival, which opens Thursday in downtown Ocala. That is a four-day event with 54 films from 13 states and 37 countries. Patrons will see Oscar nominees. They will see high-profile stars. They will see entries from Marion County artists.
What SSIFF patrons will not see is "The Lady Wrestler." The film was submitted for consideration on Dec. 31, and the Funks learned at the beginning of March that their work had not made the roster.
"It was a feeling of disbelief," said Marti Funk, 64, Dory's wife and producer of the film.
So the Funks sought to show their film at a separate event. They contacted Bob and Maria Schmidt, owners of the Seven Sisters, who jumped at the chance to host this one-film extravaganza.
While the film festival and Funk's event are separate, Maria Schmidt said many of the film festival organizers have shown support for the "The Lady Wrestler" premiere.
At 10:30 a.m. Wednesday, just under 55 hours before his gala was slated to begin, Funk sat in a Toscano-style chair in the Seven Sisters' immaculate, Victorian-style living room.
Funk, 73 and still in prime wrestling shape, adjusted his signature black cowboy hat and offered a wry smile.
The juxtaposition certainly is delicious. The Seven Sisters typically hosts couples and honeymooners who enjoy the exotic Cairo Suite, a $259-per-night lovers' playground made to resemble the inside of an Egyptian tomb.
A plush, king-size bed is crowned with authentic Egyptian tapestry. A faux King Tut sarcophagus offers protection.
The Cairo Suite is the largest of five elaborate Seven Sisters rooms that represent Morocco, Spain, China and France.
On Friday, for $15, patrons can enjoy champagne and movie treats, a movie viewing and a chance to get autographs from Funk, Webber and other wrestlers.
Drag racing legend Big Daddy Don Garlits is scheduled to be on hand. It's possible that Austin Aries, a professional wrestler trained by Funk in Ocala, will attend.
Bob Schmidt said the inn's bottom floor will feature one big-screen television in the dining area and a smaller one in the living room. Outside will be a tent with another viewing area.
As for the movie itself?
"It starts off with a prayer," Funk said, "and ends with a fight."
He said the movie is about "the struggle we all go through. It is so intense."
Indeed, a sneak peek revealed a series of chair-banging hits and body slams.
Marti Funk said the film was shot in two weeks. Dory Funk took four weeks editing it, including the sound.
Funk, a world champion wrestler from 1969-74, has been wrestling all over the world for decades, including 70 trips to Japan.
More than a decade ago, Funk opened the Funking Conservatory in Ocala, where he trains would-be professional wrestlers wanting to make the step to the televised stages on cable.
One of those up-and-coming wrestlers is Webber, a 2009 Vanguard High graduate. Though she works for the Town & Country Animal Clinic during the day, she is committed to one day become a famous professional wrestler.
Another is Michael Musiani, 20, better known as Moose McMamara in the movie. He traveled from out of state to attend the school.
Musiani said he is dedicating his life full time to becoming a professional wrestler.
Marti Funk said "The Lady Wrestler" is centered upon freedom of speech, freedom of religion and freedom of equality in the workplace.
"There is no equality in the workplace here at the Seven Sisters Inn. She (Maria Schmidt) is the boss," said Bob Schmidt, as he pointed like a wrestler at his wife. "I will see you in the ring on Friday."

Today, Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) released the following column discussing the impact the president's sequester will have on Wright-Patterson Air Force Base:
"In 2011, President Obama proposed a series of mandatory spending cuts called a "sequester,' which was subsequently passed by Congress as part of the 2011 debt limit agreement.
"These arbitrary spending cuts, which are scheduled to go into effect March 1, will affect our region if they are implemented. The president's sequester -- or the #Obamaquester, as we call it on Twitter -- should be replaced with other, more responsible spending cuts that will help put the country on a path to a balanced budget within 10 years.
"A February 7, 2013 article in the Dayton Daily News illustrates the impact the president's sequester will have on Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, one of our region's top employers:
""Wright-Patterson could impose unpaid furloughs on up to 13,000 civilian employees and a 15 percent cut in operations as part of spending reductions that could strike the Air Force, the military commander of the base said Thursday. . . The unpaid time off the job, amounting to a 20 percent pay cut through September, and additional cuts could be triggered if Congress and President Barack Obama fail to reach a deal to avert sequestration, or automatic, across-the-board cuts to federal spending set to begin March 1.'
"The article goes on to quote Col. Cassie B. Barlow, commander of the 88th Air Base Wing headquarters at Wright-Patt, on the specific impact of the president's sequester:
""We have some very specifically trained civilians on this base for specific missions and we don't have the military trained to do some of those same jobs,' Barlow told the Dayton Daily News. "To the extent that we can use military, if we can, we will do it, but I fully expect if we get to the point where we're furloughing civilian employees there will be some things at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base that we will not do during the furlough. We just will not be able to get across the finish line without all those employees.
""Everybody's on edge, I would say,' Barlow told the paper. "It's a tough environment for everybody.'
"The Wright-Patterson situation and others like it across the country show that the president's sequester is the wrong way to cut spending. That's why I and my colleagues in the Republican-led House of Representatives proposed a different mechanism to force deficit reduction in 2011, and have twice passed legislation to replace the president's sequester with more responsible spending cuts and reforms.
"Last May, the House passed the Sequester Replacement Act, authored by our Budget Committee chairman, Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI), to replace the president's sequester with responsible spending cuts and reforms. Just weeks ago, the House passed it again, with a few technical updates.
"Unfortunately, the Democratic-controlled Senate has passed no legislation to replace the president's sequester, and is struggling with the issue as the March 1 date approaches. Why? Because many Democratic senators want to replace the president's sequester not with better spending cuts, but with more tax increases. And instead of joining Republicans in working to replace the president's sequester with more responsible spending cuts, the White House is using it to call for further tax increases on the American people, too.
"By further tax increases, I'm not talking about the tax increases that have already been enacted under President Obama. I mean tax hikes that would come on top of the tax hikes that the president allowed to go into effect on January 1; tax hikes that would come on top of the ones the president imposed on families and small businesses through his health care law, ObamaCare, enacted in 2010.
"From listening to the people of our district, I know there are many who share my concern about the president's sequester -- and I also know there is even stronger concern about another round of tax increases.
"Americans know the president got his higher taxes on the wealthy last month when the fiscal cliff was reached, and those tax increases were accompanied by no corresponding spending cuts. They also know spending is the problem in Washington, and the reason we have a national debt that now exceeds the size of our nation's entire economy.
"Americans want government spending brought under control, and they want it done in a common-sense, responsible way.
"The goal of both parties should be to grow the economy, expand opportunity and prosperity, and ensure America maintains its leading role in the world with a strong national defense.
"If our country is to meet these goals, the president's harmful sequester must be replaced -- not with further tax increases on the American people, but with responsible spending cuts that will help balance the federal budget within the next decade."

When it comes to bringing a wedding to life, it's all about the details. Those completely personalized nuggets of pretty that could knock the socks off any guest on your list. They're details just like these handmade velvet program books from Jess' very own wedding. It's a project that calls for an assembly-line style party with all your lovely ladies...just add a couple bottles of bubbly and time will surely fly!
Velvet fabric
Liner fabric
Thin cardboard or stiff cardstock
Hot glue gun & glue sticks
Embroidery thread
Large needle
Book pages
Iron all the fabric to remove any wrinkles. Cut the velvet into 7 ½" x 5" pieces, 1 per book. Cut out a ½"x½" square from each corner.
Cut the liner fabric into 6"x4" pieces, 1 per book.
Cut the cardboard to 3"x4", 2 pieces per book.
Lay the velvet face down. Place the cardboard pieces so that they touch each cutout corner of the velvet. Fold down each flap of velvet and make sure you can fold the book in half. Draw a thin line of glue on the perimeter of each cardboard piece, fold down each velvet flap and press into place.
Draw a line of glue around the perimeter of inside of the book and press down the liner fabric.
Make your book pages. You can print whatever you like on pages that are 4"x5.5" (when the pages are folded, each "page" will be 2.75" wide x 4" tall). Order the pages so that the center pages are on the top, and place on the liner fabric.
Thread the needle with the embroidery thread and knot one end. Insert the needle through the book at the bottom of the of the liner out through the velvet (under the pages), then back through the velvet and through the book pages, then back down through the velvet, up through the pages, down through the velvet and finally up and under the pages. Knot the thread and trim the excess.
Cut ribbon to 9" lengths. Wrap around the book vertically and close with a dot of hot glue on the backside. Repeat for remaining programs.
Tip: These books are gorgeous & memorable, but a little time consuming. Enlist as many helpers as you can. Try making only the number of programs you need for each couple, not for each individual guest, to cut down on the number you need to make.

Latest News
Titanic Honour and Glory are delighted to have acquired magnificent 1:144th scale models of the bow and stern sections of the Titanic wreck. The models were scratchbuilt entirely by Gloucestershire model maker Marko Mudryj. Marko spent 300 hours over a four month period creating the masterpiece models which are core exhibits. Both models are very popular with the both the visiting public and press and media.
Each of the models show the wreck as she appeared in 1985 when Dr. Robert D. Ballard discovered the Titanic in the North Atlantic Ocean. The detail on the models are absolutely incredible capturing every detail on the wreck, from the collision damage, crows nest, anchors, bridge, promenade deck areas to the lifeboat davits, boilers and even the engines.
During the construction of the models, Marko and I were in constant contact where he would reveal some interesting findings on the wreck, many of which were never noticed before when viewing videos and reading the many literature available on the subject. Marko couldn't believe the way metal had twisted this way and that way and the violent sinking the Titanic had endured during her descent to the bottom of the Atlantic. So much so is the detail to these models, Marko has been nominated for a top award by one of the Titanic model makers websites, which we are delighted about.
Each of the models bring the human story of the Titanic to life as they both feature in our in memoriam gallery of the exhibition as tribute to all those who were lost and saved on board the Titanic.

Gift Giving Doesn't Have To HURT This Holiday Season
If you haven't taken a look at your calendar lately you might not be aware that there are less than six weeks (that's less than 45 days) until Christmas.
If you are anything like me you either put shopping off until the last minute because you don't know what to get your loved ones, or you just grab random crap you like or gift cards simply because it's easy and you hate to shop.
This year though let me give you an idea that is sure to please the rock lovers on your list.
They guys in HURT are doing a five day cruise just for fans. The cruise will take off from Florida and head to Cancun,with special shows along the way from the band. And when the band is not performing; I am sure there will be an entirely different form of entertainment provided by the boys, which if you have ever met J. will include fun and debauchery along the way.
Check out the details for the HURT Links and Waves Cruise.
