Also, feel free to suggest new questions, but please keep in mind that due to the now extra-limited nature of the program, we cannot use every suggestion.
Current questions (vote for up to 2):
- - Force FX has entered a new phase with the removable blade series, and so far we've seen the first couple waves. Thanks to Clone Wars, female characters are back on the rise in Star Wars and bringing in more female collectors - Ahsoka especially has been selling very well. What does the future of Force FX look like? What are the chances of Ahsoka's lightsaber being added to the Force FX line, better opening that market up to female consumers and getting Clone Wars main character recognizability?
- - You have this nice new Qui-Gon Jinn figure that came out in the Jedi Evolution set, and has been re-released in the nifty Eopie mail-away set, yet both times the figure has been marred by including the blobby 1999 lightsaber accessory. Luke Jedi keeps coming out with either repaints of the ROTS Obi-Wan's lightsabers (which has different details), or worse, the blobby Obi-Wan POTJ saber from 2000. Both the '99 Qui-Gon and '00 Obi-Wan as Luke Jedi sabers also have the old smooth blade design without the flare on top of their soft hilt sculpting, and both Qui-Gon and Luke Jedi actually had better saber accessories designed during the Saga line, yet we never get them. And what about one of the most iconic lightsabers in recent SW memory, Darth Maul? There is no modern-quality version at all, the closest is the '02 Saga metal hilt with removable blades, but the blades break easily, so we haven't seen it in a while, and it's a bit long. We don't have a deactivated one to hang on a belt, don't have a 1-blade-activated version, don't have a "cut in half" version, Maul is pretty lacking for his weapon. Why are we getting old junky saber accessories with the modern versions of these guys? Why aren't we seeing better, more accurate lightsaber accessories for some of these fairly major, recognizable Jedi characters? And will these issues be addressed soon?
- - Vader's TIE Advanced X1 has been using the same POTF2 mold for over 13 years now, and the design is showing its age. The cockpit hatch is all wrong, the window is too small, the implementation of action gimmicks hurts the movie-accuracy and just aren't that fun, the cockpit isn't terribly accurate or sized that well to modern Vader figures, and the color is the blue-gray color of ESB and ROTJ rather than the proper gray color of ANH - the only film it was in. This is Vader's signature vehicle, it should at least live up to the quality of the other vehicles in the line, much less represent one of the brand's top characters - especially since the Hasbro SW team's vehicle designs have been so good lately too. What are the chances of seeing something done to address those issues on Vader's TIE Advanced X1 in the foreseeable future?
- - A few years ago, we asked about the chance for updating the role-play Han Solo Blaster and Stormtrooper Blaster accessories, and your response was a not at that time because they weren't supported by then-current entertainment. The existing role-play Stormtrooper and Han blasters are molds from the late '70s, now technically 5 decades old. While they do have some pretty decent design for items from that era, compared to Hasbro's newer role-play blasters, they come up a bit lacking in accuracy and features. We don't expect all-black movie accuracy due to safety concerns, but on those 2, the seams are a bit uncomfortable to hold, the lights and sounds don't deliver all that effectively and don't rapid-fire nicely; and on the Stormtrooper blaster, the stock is still missing in action, and there's never been a clip. With ANH being re-released next year on Blu-Ray, and in theaters in a few years, it seems like there are going to be opportunities to deliver updated versions of those 2 iconic blasters in the role-play lineup, so is there any chance of seeing that happen?
- - Sgt. Bric's initial cartoon outing turned out to be kind of a bust. The character was an unmemorable jerk and didn't really add anything to his storyline. In fact, if not for the action figure you guys did, he'd be a complete nobody in 2010. And on top of that, the postage on his set when it arrived in Los Angeles was a whopping $5.15, so after the cost of the box and the handling, just getting it out the door probably ate the entire $6.99 right there. Combine that with the fancy packaging and the battle mat, and the fact that he's 100% new tooling with some pricey-looking (for CW) paint, and it seems like Bric's quite an expensive promotional venture for Hasbro to have undertaken... all for a minor jerk of a character. What is it about Bric that made you choose him for a big Clone Wars mail-away promo figure?
- - The new R5-D4 figure does not have the painted red panels on his back. That might sound like a minor issue, but the panels are clearly visible in the film when the droid's motivator blows up, and they help give the little guy a bit more visual pop. Neither the 1996 nor the 2006 versions of R5-D4 had these painted either, so it's disappointing to see that the third time is not the charm (though it remains a detail that the original vintage figure got right). Given the number of running changes we've seen so far in The Vintage Collection, is it at all possible that this oversight might be changed on future shipments?
- - The Force FX lightsabers are targeted at adult collectibles, for a group who generally desire accuracy in their prop collectibles, and yet the latest ROTS Obi-Wan's lightsaber with removable blade suffers a big inaccuracy due to the blade needing to be securely anchored. However, with your removable-blade designs, you've started using dummy parts to fill in the removed blades, and we wonder if you'd consider for future thin-necked lightsabers like Luke ROTJ and Obi-Wan having the removable blade take the entire thick "neck" with it and having a more accurate thin-necked dummy design replace it. That much weight anchoring has been accomplished before in the thick metal coupler for the Maul saber halves that screwed together, on these thin-neck sabers the neck could screw down to the top part of the grip. That would let collectors have their cake and eat it too by giving an accurate hilt prop display with the thin neck, while still having the light-up blade play using the thick neck. So has there been any consideration for that sort of thing, and might it be seen in future Force FX sabers when needed?
- - The plethora of white clones and sandtroopers that have shipped with every wave so far this year are having some problems getting out the doors of major retailers. Also, repainted clones such as Gree and the orange clone trooper do not seem to have the same problem building up on the pegs. A while back you told us that Hasbro bean counters were cracking down on running-change figures, but having different pauldron colors for the sandtrooper in different waves, and repainting the episode 2 (sergeant and officer colors) and episode 3 clones (many different units to choose from) in different color schemes for different waves would have almost definitely helped alleviate the oversupply/under demand problems for these figures. Please don't read this as us asking for more clones and sandtroopers as right now we do think it's overkill, but since recent and future waves still seem to be pushing these stalled figures, do you think the recent issues are enough to give the "no running changes" policy another look for troubled trooper figures?
- - The 2009 Count Dooku with Speeder Bike figure featured a fabric cloak with a sculpted plastic clasp, meaning he had the free range of motion provided by the cloak with the accuracy of the clasp. This year though, instead of a plastic clasp, your TVC General Lando Calrissian figure has a thick elastic strap that doesn't really look anything like the fabric braid the character wore in the film; it seems like that is a case where a plastic clasp would have been preferable. The plastic clasp holding closed a fabric cloak solution could also be a possibility on future Darth Vader figures, or movie-based Count Dooku figures, or other figures where appropriate and the material allows it. Will the plastic-clasp-and-fabric approach be taken more in the future? Why wasn't it with TVC General Lando?
Vote now, and suggest new questions too. Thanks for participating.

I was having an exceptionally bad day last Friday so I decided to haul out all of my old STAR WARS toys from the attic. I sat there on the floor re-assembling the Death Star, Turret & Probot, Dagobah (need to replace that foam "swamp") and some of the other things I had. I took out my vintage Jabba the Hutt and marvelled at how nice of a job Kenner had done on him. There was so much detail and accuracy in the sculpt. A friend came over and was talking with me as I was putting him back in the box. He saw the POTF2 Jabba that I had just gotten on special from Entertainment Earth and commented on how I should put THAT one in the box and leave the vintage Jabba out.
The colouring on the vintage one is also more accurate than the most recent sculpts of him. It's kinda sad, but interesting how we actually took a couple steps backwards when re-sculpting a larger character. I love the "waterpipe"/"froggy dish" and the prison dais and the Salacious Crumb. I also discovered that I had two Crumbs that came packaged in the set. Can one have enough Kowakian Lizard-monkeys?
I was feeling pretty good by the end of the evening remembering the "old days" and thanking Kenner and Uncle George for the memories that totally turned my day around.

Guadalupe Mountains
National Park
The Guadalupe Mountains are part of one of the finest examples of an ancient marine fossil reef on Earth. Geologists come here from around the world to marvel at this extraordinary natural phenomenon, which formed approximately 250 million years ago in the geologic period know as the Permian.
During this time a vast tropical ocean full of various forms of life covered portions of Texas and New Mexico. Over millions of years, calcareous sponges and algae combined with other lime-secreting marine organisms and vast quantities of lime that precipitated directly from the seawater to form the 400-mile-long, horseshoe-shaped Capitan Reef.
Eventually the sea evaporated, the reef subsided, and a thick blanket of sediments and mineral salts buried the reef. The reef was entombed for millions of years until a mountain-building uplift in this region exposed a part of the fossil reef in the Guadalupe Mountains.
Geology of the Western Escarpment
The Western Escarpment has played an important role in revealing the story of the Permian Period of geologic time in North America. These exposures present one of the finest cross-sections of rocks in the world, showing transitions from shallow-water deposits to deep-water deposits. Abrupt changes in rock types are caused by this change in depth from shallow submerged areas to the deep waters of the Permian Sea. Some two miles of Permian strata are exposed in and adjacent to the Guadalupe Mountains due to faulting which uplifted this section through the ancient fossil reef.
Exposures on the lower section of the western escarpment have been studied intensely by geologists. A portion of these lower layers has been proposed as a world-wide type section for middle Permian strata referred to as the Guadalupian. A type section serves as a defining unit of rock to which all other units of the same age can be compared. These exposures have been preserved so geologists can continue to study and learn about this ancient fossil reef and for the public to enjoy. Collecting of any materials from the park is prohibited.
Frijole Ranch area
In and near the Guadalupe Mountains, very small to medium springs flow from the Permian sandstones and gravel at the foot of the mountains. Springs are spillways through which overflow or surplus groundwater passes. Near Frijole Ranch, which at one time was called Spring Hill Ranch, are five of the park's major springs.
One is Smith Spring, located in Smith Canyon. Smith Spring is among the highest springs in Texas and flows from the Bell Canyon sandstone at 5,955 feet above sea level. This spring water collects in the higher elevations to the northwest where rainfall is greater. The water then percolates down through a complex system of joints in the limestone and sandstone layers.
The Cherry Canyon sandstone is the major water-bearing sandstone layer from which most springs in the park flow. Smith Spring flows from the Bell Canyon sandstone because it is higher in elevation than the other springs in the park.
Water from Smith Springs disappears underground then reemerges from the gravel below to form Manzanita Spring which is 0.3 miles east of Frijole Ranch. The Smith Spring Trail (2.3 miles) gives an excellent view of both Smith Spring and Manzanita Spring.
Pine Springs area
This area is named for Pine Springs, a spring that was historically used by Indians, then served as a stop for the Butterfield Overland Mail Line.
The springs are reported to have failed on August 16, 1931 during an earthquake. There was probably some movement in the fault in the Cherry Canyon sandstone from which the water flowed causing blockage of flow. A fault is a fracture in the earth's crust along which rocks on one side have been displaced relative to the rock on the other side. The fault can be seen below the top exposures of the Capitan Limestone where the limestone beds have been offset; the right side of this fault has been moved up and the left has moved down. This is one of numerous faults that cut this area causing the rock layers to be displaced by a few to several hundred feet.
Visitor Center area
This is an excellent place to view the role of erosion on the Guadalupe Mountains from the formation of the reef until present time. Looking to the far left at El Capitan, this now erosion-resistant cliff was in Permian time eroded by wave action on the seaward-facing side. This caused blocks of the reef to roll down into the sea basin forming a slope of debris at the base of the reef which now makes up some of the lower limestone layers.
Hunter Peak, with its fractured and rugged cliffs, has layers that look almost vertical compared to El Capitan's horizontal layering of rock. Hunter Peak looks so much different due to the faulting that occurred in that area in late Mesozoic time. The rock layers were pushed up by the fault which caused the layers to fracture allowing them to erode more easily. In more recent time, stream- and groundwater erosion have removed softer sediment forming calcium-rich soils in which vegetation has grown.
The most striking feature of Guadalupe Mountains National Park is the thousand-foot high El Capitan, which can be seen from miles around. Early settlers used it as a landmark on the route through Guadalupe Pass.
El Capitan is composed of Capitan Limestone, which is the Permian-aged limestone reef deposit. A reef is a submerged resistant mound or ridge formed by the accumulation of plant and animal skeletons. The Capitan Limestone is a massive, fine-grained fossiliferous limestone that formed by growth and accumulation of invertebrate skeleton of algae, sponges, and tiny colonial animals called bryozoans. These skeletons were stabilized by encrusting organisms that grew over and cemented the solid reef rock, unlike modern reefs built by mainly a rigid framework of corals.
Below this massive cliff of Capitan Limestone you can see a prominent sandstone ledge of the Brushy Canyon sandstone which formed when the off-shore basin began to slowly subside.
Because of the Capitan's greater resistance to erosion, it forms this cliff which looms majestically above the horizon for us all to see.
Turnaround area
The same Capitan Limestone exposed on the top of the Patterson Hills, is also exposed on the top of the Western Escarpment. There is, however, a 3,000 foot difference in elevation between the two due to faulting that began about 26 million years ago. A series of branching faults runs close to the base of the Western Escarpment. The fault block comprising the Guadalupe Mountains was uplifted more than two miles from its original position below sea level.
Turnaround Area and William's Ranch
As you make your way toward William's Ranch, the entire face of the Western Escarpment comes into view. Now you can see from El Capitan all the way to Shumard Peak; El Capitan and Guadalupe Peak dominate the view. Guadalupe Peak, the highest peak in Texas at 8,749 feet, is also composed mostly of Capitan Limestone.
The very top of Guadalupe Peak, about 4,000 feet above road level, is composed of back-reef deposits of Seven Rivers Dolomite, which was deposited in a quiet, shallow, underwater lagoon between the reef and the shoreline. The slopes below these cliffs consist of Cherry Canyon siltstones and sandstones and Brushy Canyon sandstones. The El Capitan Trail in Shumard Canyon has exposures of ripple marks in these sandstones. The more resistant, brown-weathering ledges in the middle of the slope below El Capitan are the upper-most Brushy Canyon sandstones that were deposited as sediment filled in sub-marine channels in the basin.
William's Ranch
William's Ranch sits on the Bone Springs Limestone at the head of the Bone Canyon alluvial fan. An alluvial fan is an outspread, gently sloping mass of material deposited by a stream.
Behind the ranch is Bone Canyon. Its cliffs and slopes are formed of the oldest rocks in the Guadalupes. These rocks are the Victorio Peak limestone, the Cutoff Formation, and the Bone Spring limestone, which make up the lower portion or "bank-ramp complex" of the Western Escarpment. The bank-ramp complex formed from unbound carbonate sediments which were deposited as broad banks stretching 10-20 miles, creating a gentle ramp dipping only one or two degrees toward the basin. These shallow carbonate ramps lack the binding organisms that are prominent components of the reef complex. These limestones are well bedded in contrast to the massive reef deposits, and are exposed on the lower canyon walls.
The reef complex, which consists of Capitan limestone and underlying Goat Seep limestone, form the upper portion of the Western Escarpment. Shumard Peak, also composed of Capitan limestone and the second highest peak in the park at 8,615 feet, can be seen looking north from the ranch house porch.
The Brushy Canyon sandstone holds the water that was pumped through a pipeline two miles from Bone Spring to the ranch.
During Late Permian time, the Capitan Reef stretched some 400 miles around the edge of the Delaware Basin. Only a small part of the reef towers above the Texas desert in the Guadalupe Mountains. Other parts are exposed in the Apache- and the Glass Mountains.

Mr Charung Muengchana, director, National Vaccine Institute, Ministry of Public Health, Thailand
According to the WHO, Thailand has nearly 520,000 people (aged 5-to-49) living with HIV and AIDS and the country has the highest adult HIV prevalence in South East Asia region. Public health ministry of Thailand has reported that more than 70,000 people were infected with dengue virus in 2012 and spread of tropical disease is suspected to go higher in 2013. Thailand is on the radar of high prevalence of influenza virus as well. Amidst the high risk of disease outbreak in the country, Thailand is making efforts to develop a robust immunization program as a tool to handle any forthcoming pandemic.
Its national vaccine committee aims to protect the country against preventable diseases by planning and recommending need for building human resources, infrastructure development and domestic production of vaccines for dengue, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, mumps, measles, encephalitis, polio, hepatitis B, and tuberculosis. However, the road to achieve self-sufficiency for vaccine development has been full of challenges and the country imports almost 80 percent of its vaccines from foreign players.
In his recent visit to Singapore during the 7th World Vaccine Congress, Mr Charung Muengchana, director, National Vaccine Institute, Ministry of Public Health, Thailand, shared with BioSpectrum the challenges in vaccine development in the country and a possible roadmap for disease prevention in Thailand.
What is Thailand's major concern with respect to public health and disease control?
Thailand is stressing more on the preventive healthcare system as compared to the curative system in order to keep the burden off for future public health management. While curative approach demands immediate actions and steps, preventive healthcare calls for long term planning and strategies. Due to the current prevalence of diseases, preventive healthcare may not appear as an immediate strategy to sustain a disease free environment for future, but in the long run it eases off the burden from the government. However, most of the healthcare budget is directed toward handling immediate disease control and thus plans for diseases prevention takes a back stage. Thailand has a national health security scheme that ensures universal health coverage but most of its focus is on controlling immediate disease burden.

I'm not willing to sacrifice any of my tanks to prove one way or the other
There it is, the fear factor. That's what drives people to use it. I'd suggest you do a bit of research to justify the fear. Use Google or whatever you like to find every known occurrence of a tank blowout from rocks. Even count anecdotal if you like. Then bump that up against all the tanks that don't have eggcrate and haven't blown out. Is the fear justified? You can take a 'better safe than sorry' approach, but then you deal with the 'ugly' factor and the potential organic pockets. If you really need some peace of mind over this, then use the plexiglas like one poster suggested. But, if you don't silicone and seal the edges, you're kidding yourself because sand will get under there and create those pressure points that you're trying to avoid.

The Hawai'i Natural Energy Institute (HNEI) was established to undertake and coordinate research and development of the island's renewable energy resources. HNEI has an exceptional record of achievement, including spearheading the discovery and use of geothermal power in Hawai'i, developing the technology to use biomass for energy, charcoal (photo at left) and high-value chemicals, and establishing the most comprehensive hydrogen program of any university in the nation.
In keeping with its mandate to develop alternatives to imported fossil fuels, HNEI has established a major fuel cell research and development program. This effort builds on HNEI's highly successful research on hydrogen production from renewable resources and bolsters the State of Hawai'i's goals of reducing its heavy dependence on imported fossil fuels for electricity and transportation. Major research activities are conducted at the Hawai'i Fuel Cell Test Facility, a state-of-the-art research facility to characterize fuel cell performance and reliability.
HNEI is also exploring technologies to harness wave and ocean thermal energy. Ocean thermal energy conversion, or OTEC, generates energy by harnessing the flow of heat from a reservoir of warm surface ocean water to a reservoir of cold water pumped from the deep ocean. HNEI studies show Hawai'i's leeward waters provide ideal conditions for OTEC energy production.

It's something that none of us ever wants to hear: that every day our bodies encounter scores of dangerous toxins that can contribute to one of the deadliest diseases in history. According to the American Cancer Society, cancer is the second-leading cause of death in the United States, and an alarming new report from the President's Cancer Panel brings to light the shocking truth about the impact of environmental pollution on cancer rates in the United States.
The report, entitled Reducing Environmental Cancer Risk: What We Can Do Now, outlines the sources and types of environmental contaminants and their significant impact on our overall health—emphasizing in particular the risk to pregnant mothers and infants. The PCP urges government officials to take a stronger position on regulating harmful chemicals and provides a comprehensive list of recommendations to help reduce our exposure to environmental contaminants. That list includes:
- Choosing organically grown foods to reduce exposure to pesticides and chemical fertilizers
- Eating free-range meats to reduce exposure to antibiotics, growth hormones and toxic runoff from livestock feed lots
- Buying environmentally-friendly home/garden products to reduce exposure to hazardous toxins
- Avoiding hard plastic bottles/containers made with endocrine-disrupting chemicals such as BPA
- Reducing exposure to occupational chemicals by removing shoes before entering the home
- Filtering home tap or well water to reduce exposure to numerous known/suspected carcinogens
- Storing and carrying water in stainless steel, glass or BPA- and/or phthalate-free containers
- Microwaving food in ceramic or glass instead of plastic containers
Still, this isn't new news to natural health experts, who for decades have warned of the dangers of toxic exposure and advocated for stronger government regulations. The reality, however, is that of the more than 80,000 chemicals currently being used in the U.S. (with over 1,000 new chemicals introduced each year), only a few hundred have actually been tested for safety. Not only that, but according to the PCP report many known or suspected carcinogens are not regulated at all.
Says natural health and detox expert Brenda Watson, "I can't stress enough how important it is that the danger of toxin exposure is finally receiving the attention it should. My hope now is that more people will take responsibility for their health—and the health of our planet—by taking steps to reduce toxins in their daily lives."

Powdery mildew on ornamental plants
Fig 1. Powdery mildew fungal growth and spores on leaf surface.
Fungal spores produced on previously infected plant material are windblown in the spring to susceptible tissues. Spores landing on the surface of succulent leaf and stem tissues begin to grow and send small fungal structures into the epidermal layer of the leaf to act as anchors. After establishing itself, the fungus produces columns of spores capable of causing secondary infections (Fig. 1). Fungal growth and spores produced throughout the growing season give the leaf a white to light gray color (Fig. 2). The leaf may also appear powdery or dusty, since some of the spores can be rubbed off the plant tissue onto your fingers. Occasionally, leaves become puckered or may have necrotic (brown/dead) areas. Both temperature and relative humidity are important factors in initiation and disease development. Powdery mildew is most prevalent under conditions of cooler temperatures and high humidity. These conditions occur with poor air circulation or when cool night temperatures follow warm day temperatures. Consequently, in Minnesota we see increased levels of powdery mildew in the spring and fall of the year.
Since high relative humidity is an important factor favoring disease development, certain cultural practices can help prevent the disease or decrease its severity. Increase air circulation and light penetration. This can be accomplished by increasing ventilation and light intensity in greenhouses or homes. Trees and shrubs outside can be pruned and thinned to reduce overcrowding in the landscape. When planting new materials, select those which have resistance to powdery mildew and allow for adequate spacing of plants.

I feel a great disturbance in the Force.
Another good find. Han looks really good on card, I like the choice of accessories and the likeness stands out.
Fett looks alright, but not loving the accessories layout.
Greedo still looks bad, 1 accessory, his joints all stand out heavily, and he still has those lighter purple eyes.
Leia looks very hippy, that's disappointing as Carrie Fisher wasn't excessively hippy in the costume, I was hoping that with all this added space from the new scale they wouldn't lazily use the same generic buck-skeletal type of design philosophy that is necessary in the 3.75" line. The joints stand out more than I expected, but seems understandable. The thing that most strikes me though is the likeness in that shot, and I'm hoping that's just the angle or imaging causing it to look different.

text: I agree with everything said above. I use the BB and have good luck with them. They are very convienient especially when you are short on time because you can do a setup really fast. If you where to get the two shooters you can shoot about 5 different style of bumpers from them. You can adjust the arc height and change the bumper to get two different tight marks off of the same unit or flip one side around and shoot them like whats called a flower pot. Combine that with all the different bumpers that they shoot and they make some nice scenarios. I still think there is nothing better than using real ducks to train with but its just not an option. I can take a dog to work when its cooler, air them on lunch and breaks and then stop and train for a few minutes on the way home because I can carry all of the stuff with the BBS with me, Now if you have the money to spend get it all!!! lol.

Scholarship Established in Tribute to Victim of Station Fire
From left, Lee Hoisington, Melissa Ruggieri (scholarship recipient) and Bonnie Hoisington
Abbie Hoisington was among the 100 victims who died in The Station nightclub fire in 2003, one of the deadliest fires in the nation's history. She was only 28 years old, a special education teacher and a graduate student at RIC at the time of her death.
As a tribute to Abbie, her parents Bonnie and Lee Hoisington established the Abbie Hoisington Memorial Scholarship Fund to support future teachers of special education.
Twenty-one-year-old Melissa Ruggieri, a senior elementary education major with a concentration in special education, was recently named the first recipient of the scholarship. Having met Ruggieri, Bonnie said that "Abbie would be pleased." Bonnie also noted the "uncanny" similarities between Ruggieri and her daughter.
"Both girls are tiny," she said. Abbie was 4'10". Melissa is 5'1". Both were raised in Cranston and attended Park View Junior High School and later Cranston East High School. Both were active in Special Olympics – Abbie as a member of the Special Education Club at her high school and Ruggieri as a way to support her 30-year-old sister who has cerebral palsy and who was a member of the Cranston Rockets Special Olympics team. Ruggieri went on to volunteer at other Special Olympics events as well while in high school.
Ruggieri said, "Being with my sister and watching how she learned and looking for ways to help her learn motivated me to go into special education."
As for Abbie, she had been teaching in the field of special education for seven years. In 2002 she had begun a new job at Burrillville High School teaching life skills to students with severe/profound disabilities.
Every Thursday she would drive her students to the supermarket where she would show them how to purchase items for a meal. The following day, she would incorporate the excursion into her lesson plan. For instance, Abbie might buy Italian ingredients and show her students how to cook an Italian meal, incorporating the history of Italy, the geography of the region, math and measurements and the Italian language.
"Abbie was a fountain of enthusiasm," Bonnie said. "When she died, I asked that donations go to the school to purchase items for her classroom. The outpouring was unbelievable. The school was able to buy a new stove, microwave, computer, cabinets, a television and many other items. Having met Melissa, I saw the same passion for teaching. She can't wait to get into the classroom."
The pain of losing Abbie, however, never abates, Bonnie said. She remembered the last conversation she had with her daughter. "Abbie wasn't a fan of the Great White, the band playing at The Station the night of the fire. She went because her friend, Lisa D'Andrea, a special education teacher in Cranston, asked her to come." D'Andrea, 42, of Barrington, also died in the fire.
Abbie was posthumously awarded an MEd in 2003. In 2013 the Abbie Hoisington Memorial Scholarship Fund was established through contributions from family members, friends and colleagues. "I don't want Abbie to ever be forgotten," her mother said.

Drinking Water Week
Water is the foundation for life. Learn more about the vital role safe water plays in our lives and what CDC is doing to address challenges to our water supply.
People use water every day to meet their domestic, industrial, agricultural, medical, and recreational needs. Access to public water sources that are safe and reliable is crucial for the health and prosperity of a society.
May 1-7, 2016, is Drinking Water Week. This observance is sponsored each year by the American Water Works Association (AWWA) and a number of other organizations and agencies. Following the theme "What do you know about H2O?", Drinking Water Week provides an opportunity for the public to recognize the essential role drinking water plays in our daily lives, with special attention on the ways in which all water consumers can get to know their H2O.1
Figure 1: Incidence of Typhoid Fever, 1920-1960. With the implementation of disinfection methods for drinking water, there has been a drastic decline in cases of typhoid fever in the United States. Image Credit: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep. 1999;48(40);905-913.
Making Tap Water Safe and Healthy
Tap water not only provides Americans with water for daily activities (like drinking, bathing, and cooking), but also is used to deliver fluoride to reduce the potential for tooth decay.
During the past century, many improvements in the health, prosperity, and longevity of the U.S. population can be attributed to improvements in water quality. Water treatment and disinfection have made U.S. tap water one of the safest and healthiest drinking water supplies in the world.2
In 1908, Jersey City, New Jersey, was the first city in the United States to begin routine disinfection of a municipal drinking water supply.3 Over the next decade, thousands of cities and towns across the United States began disinfecting their drinking water. This disinfection led to a dramatic decrease in cases of waterborne illness (diseases spread through water) and death.4
For example, in 1900 there were approximately 100 cases of typhoid fever for every 100,000 persons living in the United States.5 In 2006, the rate had declined to 0.1 cases for every 100,000 persons (only 353 cases of illness in total) and approximately 75%—or 265 cases—occurred among international travelers.6 Adding fluoride to our tap water has also helped reduce the amount of tooth decay experienced by the public. Both the disinfection and fluoridation of public water systems are among the greatest public health achievements of the 20th century.7
Although the US has one of the safest drinking water supplies in the world, we must continue to work to protect our water supply.
Treating water to remove or kill disease-causing contaminants is critical.
Tap water provides Americans with water for drinking, bathing, and cooking.
CDC works to address drinking water challenges through research, prevention, and policy activities and programs.
Protecting Tap Water from Contaminants
As a result of environmental regulations, such as the Clean Water Act(passed in 1972), many sources of water pollution—particularly sewage—have been reduced over the years. However, treating water to remove or kill disease-causing contaminants is still critical. Contamination of drinking water sources can occur at multiple points, including in the source water, through inadequate water treatment, in storage tanks, and in drinking water distribution systems (the pipes that carry water to homes, businesses, schools, and other buildings).
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) sets maximum concentration levels for many water pollutants and regulates drinking water quality in public water systems. Every community water system is required to provide its customers with an annual consumer confidence report (CCR). This report gives information on local drinking water quality, including the water's source, the levels of contaminants found in the water, problems with the water treatment system which may have occurred, and how customers can get involved in protecting their drinking water.
Drinking Water and Private Wells
EPA regulations that protect public drinking water systems do not typically apply to privately owned wells (although some states do regulate private wells). As a result, millions of Americans who get their water from private wells are responsible for ensuring that their water is safe from contaminants. A local health department or well water system professional can provide assistance on well maintenance, new well construction, and water quality testing. For more information on well maintenance and testing, visit CDC's Private Ground Water Well page.
The Future of Tap Water
Although the United States has one of the safest drinking water supplies in the world, new challenges require us to continue to work to protect our water supply. A primary concern is the fact that our drinking water infrastructure, which includes the pipes that bring water to our homes, is aging (up to 100 years old in some cases!) and needs to be upgraded or replaced. Cracked pipes, water main breaks, and other age-related infrastructure issues increase the risk for water contamination and can lead to boil water advisories. Other challenges include climate change impacts on water availability and quality, chemical and toxin contamination of water sources, and the emergence of new ways to obtain and use water.
What CDC is Doing
CDC works to address these drinking water challenges through its water-related research, prevention, and policy activities and programs, including:
Research on Health Impacts
- Providing support for state and local health officials to investigate, report, and prevent illnesses associated with drinking water systems.
- Estimating the number of illnesses and costs associated with waterborne disease and outbreaks.
- Identifying the health impacts of climate change, deteriorating drinking water infrastructure, and well water usage to develop strategies for improvement.
- Identifying and analyzing environmental factors that contribute to waterborne disease.
- Developing improved laboratory methods for sampling, testing, and monitoring water quality.
Policy and Public Outreach
- Working with EPA and other partners to provide guidance on drinking water policy and research priorities.
- Developing a National Well Data Repository to support public health decision-making for well water.
- Applying study findings to improve waterborne disease prevention outreach, education, policies, and practices.
- Providing national leadership on community water fluoridation practice.
Collaboration and Partnerships
- Supporting EPA and other partners in performing their duties and responsibilities related to protecting national drinking water.
- Guiding the planning, implementation, and evaluation of programs that promote water safety.
- Strengthening the collaboration among epidemiology, laboratory, environmental health, and regulatory programs to prevent waterborne disease.

- Description
In the Church of Vernon in France, this stained glass window was created by artist Jacques Bony in 1976. It is dedicated to St. Jacques and Ste Geneviève.
In the upper window: angels, zodiac signs and markings, illustrating "Time and Eternity".
As this window was situated just next to a window of the fifteenth century, Jacques Bony decided to respect this harmony by making a modern stained glass, but in the spirit and the proportions of stained glass of the fifteenth: www.gigapan.org/gigapans/75197/

Reviews for this host's other properties
Marcos is a great host. The room was really clean, central and calm. You find there everything you need. I reccomend this room to everyone who wants to pass a wonderful weekend in central London.
Great location, close to public transport: metro, bus, but also many restaurants and shops.
The room is comfortable, clean, however the flush toilet does not work well.
Très bien situé, à proximité des transports en commun : métro, bus mais également de nombreux restaurants et commerces.
La chambre est confortable, propre en revanche la chasse d'eau des WC ne fonctionne pas bien.
This was the second time we've stayed in this appartment. In summary: central location, directly opposite of liverpool street station, with perfect access to several metro lines. Room: clean, spacious, table model refrigerator (clean and working), large mirror, TV. Bed: spacious, comfortable, clean. Bathroom: shared, can give a delay on your program if occupied, just a shower (in need of replacement) and sink. Toilet (separate from bathroom): clean.
Due to the stormy weather our flight was delayed, reception (next door) has personel 24/7, so no problems checking in.
Good location for city trip and a very friendly landlord
Gute Lage für den Städtetrip und ein sehr freundlicher Vermieter
Clean & comfortable. Central location. Excellent host.
The host (Mark) only know his name and what we read in your profile Wimdu because once there we realized it was a hostel reception (very nice, by the way).
As for accommodation, its location is very good. Not known for their hygiene, the portal matches the service door of a restaurant. The bathroom and kitchen may share more with 4 bedrooms, so maybe someday no queue to enter.
Finally, the room measures 10 m2 no advertising, but about 7 m2.
Not bad, but the characteristics we found expensive.
Del anfitrión (Marcos) sólo conocemos su nombre y lo que hemos podido leer en su perfil de wimdu, ya que al llegar allí nos dimos cuenta de que se trataba de un hostal con recepción (muy amables, por cierto).
En cuanto al alojamiento, su situación es muy buena. No destaca por su higiene, el portal coincide con la puerta de servicio de un restaurante. El baño y cocina se pueden llegar a compartir con 4 habitaciones más, así que igual algún día hay cola para entrar.
Por último, la habitación no mide los 10 m2 que anuncia, sino unos 7 m2.
No está mal, pero por sus características nos pareció caro.
The apartment is in a great location, all means of transportation are nearby.
The apartment is clean, there is everything that one needs. the room is very small for two people, however, great for short stays
L'appartamento è in un'ottima posizione, tutti i mezzi di trasporto sono vicini.
L'appartamento è pulito, c'è tutto ciò di cui uno ha bisogno. la camera è decisamente piccola per due persone, comunque ottima per brevi soggiorni
The location of the apartment was perfect for tourist comming by train, so that turned out to be great. The room was fine and the price o.k. It was also possible to access the lobby 24/7, which was great.
There were two small disadvantages: the shower was dirty and the apartment was pretty smelly, if these issues would not be there it would definitely a 5 star (for this price).
IT was great. The location of the room is perfect! The Liverpool station just 10 steps away. Gefühlt.Das We felt the room was clean and I would at any time wiederbuchen.Gutes price-performance ratio
ES war super. Die Lage des Zimmers ist ideal !!!Die Liverpool Station nur 10 Schritte entfernt .Wir haben uns wohl gefühlt.Das Zimmer war sauber und ich würde es jederzeit wiederbuchen.Gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis
Great place! Marcos is very kind and everything is well organized! Bes place to stay in London : not expensive and near to the underground! I recomend it !!

NOTE: I am updating this post to reflect some questions/comments that I have received (8-28-09)
What's in My Backpack.
Most Backpackers are always tweeking their gear, replacing old stuff with new, looking for lighter, tougher, more useful (multi use) and of course just plain cool gear.
Recently I upgraded some gear, namely my backpack.
After years of carrying my Kelty External Frame Tioga 5500 I have switched to an internal frame pack. Now, before anyone says I jumped ship on my philosophy of External frame packs being better for younger bodies or beginning Backpackers.. Stop. I still believe that. External frame packs offer a much easier platform for the beginner and the young Scout to load and carry.
I have been looking for about a year now and finally fell in love with a pack I could not live without.
Loading it and walking around with it, doing the homework to see what its capabilities are and what I won't be able to do with it. Looking at all my gear and how I use it and what I use it for.
A couple things I am not willing to sacrifice some comfort and safety. So I am willing to carry a little extra to stay comfortable and safe.
So here is what is in my Pack Now.
Pack: Mountain Hard wear Koa 55
Camptrials pack cover
Tent: MSR Hubba
Sleeping Bag: Marmot Sawtooth 15 degree
Bag liner (10 Extra degrees)
Sleeping Pad: Thermarest Z lite
Water pump: MSR Sweetwater
Cook gear:
Stove: Snow Peak Giga Power
GSI Soloist cook system
Guyot Designs -The Utensils (Spork and Spatula)
Platypus Water Bladders (2 Liters X 2)
Fuel canister
Little Stuff:
Compass- Silva
Light My Fire Fire steel Scout
REI Storm Proof matches
First Aid kit (personalized)
Trekking Poles: Black Diamond Trail
Snow Shoes: Tubbs Sojourn 25
Gerber Pocket knife (not in pack)
Small role of Toilet paper
Personal kit (toothbrush, toothpaste)
Small Bic lighter
3 Seasons-
Sock liners (1 pair)
Wool Socks (cushion) 2 Pair
Cool max (Under armor) shirt
Long Sleeve sweat wicking shirt
Mountain Hard wear beanie
Marmot light gloves
Fleece Pullover
Columbia Outer Shell
Fleece pullover
Poly Propylene tops and bottoms
Wool socks (3 pair)
sock liners (2 pair)
Mountain Hard wear gaiters- Gaiters I have found to be an essential part of my gear. I actually wear them in more than just the winter. I love them when trekking through meadows and in rocky areas as they keep my legs dry and keep little things from getting into my boots. They work great in the winter keeping snow out of my boots and keeping my laces dry.
Rain gear: Frog Togg Dri Duck top and bottom

which flies to use?
I fish small streams in ky and va. I'm a beginner and i would like to know how to know which flies to use. there arent many (if any ) fly shops around . Most of the trout guys throw nightcrawlers and corn. Iv'e had some luck with a prince nymph and pheasant tail nymph but dunno why they bite that better than others. Any info on getting started learning about the proper flies would help.
Bug Doctor here......Let's step back to square 1 for a moment. First thing you should do is spend a little time down at the local river / stream. Walk along the banks and observe just what kinds of Hatches are going on in your neck of the woods. By that I mean watch what is flying around, crawling around, swimming around. Look in the shrubs and small trees that line the waterway for any kind of insects that might be potential food for the resident gamefish population. Pick up a few rocks along the shore and turn them over to see what is crawling on the bottom You might take along a small note pad to record what you see. Even if you can't describe on the spot what you are looking at, you can bring the information to the local Library and grab a few books on "Bugs" and see if you can identify those insects.
While you are there, see if there are any books on Entomology that you can thumb through. You can archive the site and find loads of info on this subject When you get an idea of what is "Hatching" in your area, you can better equip yourself for action!
With that said, you have a computer, there are sites you can visit to see flys that match the hatch. Kaufmans Streamborn, which I believe is a sponser of F.F.F has a good selection of "On-Line" flys. Just go to www.kman.com. I think you will find what you are looking for. That"s where the Bug Doctor buys his flys!
Sometimes when the local fish have been given what we call "Garden Hackle" (worms, corn etc) They forget the Fly thing. But have faith, there are some "Flys" that resemble those things as well.
Anyhow, I hope that this at least gets you off on an exciting life of flyfishing! And I might extend a "Welcome" to you as well. This is a great site with members from all over the World to talk, share, and get ideas and info from!
Good to have you on board!
The Bug Doctor (alias, Deerhawk)
fly selection
You've done pretty good so far for fly selection. The prince nymph and the pheasant tail are "generic" flies that look like a lot of nymphs in general. Another good all-around one is the hare's ear. Another option is to try the same flies in a beadhead version (they sink better) and in "flashback" versions (for a little "glitter" - makes 'em look alive, and gives the impression of "motion without movement").
These will keep you catching fish while you learn about your local flies. Don't overlook caddis imitations and stoneflies if they are in your streams.
Another good fly to keep on hand and use is a wooly bugger in colors black, brown, and olive. It's another "generic" fly and catches fish most places.
Keep at it, it's a lot of fun!
BobK :)
thanks fellers
that site is helping me learn the right flies. I'm a biology major so identifying insects isnt that bad. i was mainly concerned with which flies mimiced a certain insect. I'll try that woolly bugger today actually after i get out of organic lab. thanks again

These grown-up snow cones are made from granita-style beer "snow" and a drizzle of fruity simple syrup. This make-ahead treat will be a hit at your next party!
The beer snow is great made with lager, pilsner or Hefeweizen beer.
For a nonalcoholic option, replace beer with nonalcoholic ginger beer, ginger ale or lemon-lime soda.

Meet Your New BFFs, 'The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills!'
Do YOU think these ladies have what it takes to be Real Housewives?
The wait is over! The cast of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills has FINALLY been announced, and you'll be shocked when you find out who some of the women are, courtesy of E! Online. This sounds like it's going to be a non-stop riot, as the women all have two very important ingredients for drama — outrageous personalities and major celebrity connections! It'll be just like watching 90210… only fast-forwarded a couple of decades.
- Kim & Kyle Richards: Both Kim, 45, and Kyle, 41, have acting background and a famous older sister — Kathy Hilton! Kim has four kids and has been divorced twice, while sis Kyle is still keeping her marriage going strong and has four daughters.
- Adrienne Maloof-Nassif: Adrienne, 48, is married to (wait for the shock) plastic surgeon Dr. Paul Nassif, who has been featured on several episode of Dr. 90210.
- Camille Donatacci Grammer: You're probably most familiar with Camille, 41, as she's married to none other than Kelsey Grammer. The former Playboy model has two children with Kelsey: daughter Mason, 9, and son Jude, 6.
- Lisa Vanderpump-Todd: With a name like that, you know Lisa is all class. The former actress owns several restaurants, including one called Villa Blanca, with hubby Kenneth Todd. The couple has two children together — Pandora, Max and Cedric.

There are alot of reasons for stomach pain. It could be acidity, gastritis, ulcer being the most common ones .You need to get a consultation to know whats going on.

Chocking or suffocating felling in throat all the time: this can occurs previously, then a ENT advised a liver infection. After that I am fine but this feeling starts again, so tell me, what can I do.
General Physician,
Hi, Thanks for your question on Lybrate I do understand your concern As per your clinical history please check your breathing rate per minutes and if it is less than 20 breaths per minutes then it may not be due to respiratory tract rather check GI tract ,so do an endoscopy examination first to see the passage between mouth and stomach to ruled out Esophageal Stricture. Hope that helps
65 years old male from Kolkata asked
I am 66 years old male. I have knee pain for more than 10 years. I could walk with some pain which was manageable. But now my knees are not following my wishes. The pain starts as soon as I start walking. Should I go for knee-replacement or there is some homeopathic medicine to make my life livable?
22 years old male from Patna asked
I am taking homeopathic medicine for my crack heel, and I want to take liv 52 capsule because of my bad appetite, can I take it? Homeopathic and liv 52 at same time is it any effect!
I do not think these will interfere. But ask your homeopathy Doctor. However for better heels wear thick cotton socks. Keep the portion where you have cracks wet. It will dry after some time. Repeat wetting process. You will find that within 333-4 days the cracks will start disappearing. For bad appetite go on a 3 days fast. Do some exercise, go for a walk. No medicine is really required for that. Dr. G L Moondraa.

hair fall is due to infection in scalp skin or hormonal effects also sometimes its genetic cause,if infective then easily goes into hairs follicles & its root and results in hair fall, For control on hair fall u have to control on infections ,Medicines takes time to remove infections due to less blood supply in scalp skin..but fully curable with proper medicines and care.

......Nancy Pelosi's expressed dream has been acheived.
The "Progressive" movement won the biggest election in my lifetime.
(Bill Clinton himself calls it the "Progressive" movement)
There is no turning back now.
Congratulations to the movement.
I will miss the America I grew up in, fought for, beleived in and love!
Good bye to freedom, liberty and independence, relics of the past!!
I understand that the people have spoken, and I am now in the minority.
I wonder how many that voted for Obama even know his real name?

This would also work with plums.
• 4kg of apricots
• 2 litres of vinegar (1 litre of white wine vinegar and 1 litre of malt works well)
• 3 cups of brown sugar
• 10 whole cloves
• 1 teaspoon of fresh grated nutmeg
• 2 sticks of cinnamon
• 2 teaspoons of 5-spice
• 2 teaspoons of salt
• 2 tablespoons of peeled, grated fresh ginger
• 2 tablespoons of grated fresh horseradish if you have it
1. Chop and stone the apricots. Place in a large
pot with a little water and cook gently until
2. Add all the other ingredients and cook down slowly, on the lowest heat possible. Stir to stop the ketchup catching. Skim any debris that forms on the top as you go. Watch carefully, the thickening ketchup can become a bit eruptive and may need to be partly covered.
3. When you reach a sauce- like consistency, cool the mixture, check the seasoning and pour into sterilised bottles. Seal up and store in a cool dark place.
Once opened, keep in the fridge.

Astellas Pharma gives Cubist Pharmaceuticals rights to ceftolozane
Singapore: Cubist Pharmaceuticals and Astellas Pharma entered into an agreement under which Cubist will obtain the rights to ceftolozane in certain Asia Pacific and Middle East territories from Astellas. With the attainment of these rights, Cubist now owns worldwide rights to develop, manufacture, and commercialize ceftolozane/tazobactam.
Ceftolozane, in combination with tazobactam (ceftolozane/tazobactam or CXA 201), is currently being studied in two pivotal phase III trials as a potential first-line intravenous therapy for the treatment of complicated intra-abdominal infections (cIAI) and complicated urinary tract infections (cUTI) caused by certain Gram negative bacteria, including those caused by multi-drug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Top-line data readouts from these two clinical trials are expected in the second-half of 2013. Cubist anticipates filing a New Drug Application (NDA) for ceftolozane/tazobactam in cUTI and cIAI approximately six months after announcing top-line results from the phase III trials. Cubist plans to begin phase III studies in nosocomial pneumonia around mid-year 2013.
The FDA granted a Qualified Infectious Disease Products (QIDP) designation for all three indications and granted fast track status for ceftolozane/tazobactam in cIAI. As a result of the QIDP designation, if ceftolozane/tazobactam is ultimately approved by the FDA, it would also receive a five-year extension of Hatch-Waxman exclusivity.
Cubist previously obtained the rights, outside of the Asia Pacific and Middle East territories, to develop and commercialize ceftolozane/tazobactam through its acquisition of Calixa Therapeutics in December 2009.
