COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (AP) — Sri Lanka's president has dissolved Parliament and called for elections on Jan. 5 in a bid to stave off a deepening political crisis over his dismissal of the prime minister that opponents say is unconstitutional.
An official notification signed by President Maithripala Sirisena announced the dissolution of Parliament effective midnight Friday. It said the names of candidates will be called before Nov. 26 and the new Parliament is to convene Jan. 17.
Sri Lanka has been in a crisis since Oct. 26, when Sirisena fired his prime minister, Ranil Wickremesinghe, and replaced him with former strongman Mahinda Rajapaksa. Both say they command a majority in Parliament and had been expected to face the 225-member body on Wednesday after it was suspended for about 19 days.
Foreign Minister Sarath Amunugama told The Associated Press on Saturday that the president dissolved Parliament due to the need to go to the people to find a resolution to the crisis.
He said that on Wednesday "there was to be a lot of commotion and unparliamentary activities sponsored by the speaker."
"The speaker was not planning to act according to the constitution and standing orders of Parliament," Amunugama said.
Sirisena's supporters had been irked by Speaker Karu Jayasuriya's announcement that he was going to call for a vote for either party to prove their support.
"The dissolution clearly indicates that Mr. Sirisena has grossly misjudged and miscalculated the support that he might or could secure to demonstrate support in the Parliament," said Bharath Gopalaswamy, director at U.S.-based analyst group Atlantic Council's South Asia Center. "At the end of the day, he is a victim of his own homegrown crisis."
Wickremesinghe has insisted that his firing is unconstitutional. He has refused to vacate his official residence and demanded that Parliament be summoned immediately to prove he had support among its members.
Jayampathy Wickramaratne, one of Sri Lanka's foremost constitutional law experts and a member of Parliament representing Wickremesinghe's United National Front coalition, said he and other coalition delegates met with the chairman of Sri Lanka's Election Commission on Saturday and urged him not to take action toward the snap elections decreed by the president on Friday.
Wickramaratne said that President Sirisena has cited a general clause in Sri Lanka's constitution stating that the president has the power to summon or suspend Parliament. But Wickramaratne said a specific clause in the 19th amendment, added in 2015, stipulates that the president can only dissolve Parliament after 4 1/2 years, or earlier if requested by two-thirds of Parliament.
"You cannot read the constitution in one provision in isolation — you have to read it as a whole, especially when amendments have been brought," he said, adding that "before the 19th amendment, the president could dissolve Parliament at will after one year. The amendment will have been negated if this absurd argument is allowed to succeed."
However, Wijayadasa Rajapaksa, another constitutional expert and Wickremesinghe's justice minister who alongside Wickramaratne spearheaded the introduction of the 19th amendment, said the president was empowered to dissolve Parliament to avoid stalemate situations.
"When it comes to a stalemate situation or a constitutional deadlock, the president is obliged to take measures to avoid a conflict situation and political instability. Therefore, he has been compelled to take this decision and dissolve Parliament and he has the authority to do that," said Rajapaksa, who is not related to the newly named prime minister.
Tensions had been building between Sirisena and Wickremesinghe for some time, as the president did not approve of economic reforms introduced by the prime minister. Sirisena has also accused Wickremesinghe and another Cabinet member of plotting to assassinate him, a charge Wickremesinghe repeatedly denied.
Sirisena was critical of investigations into military personnel accused of human rights violations during Sri Lanka's long civil war against a Tamil separatist group, which ended in 2009. Rajapaksa, who ruled as president from 2005 to 2015, is considered a hero by the ethnic Sinhalese majority for winning the conflict. But he lost a re-election bid in 2015 amid accusations of nepotism, corruption and wartime atrocities.
Wickremesinghe's camp is likely to contest Sirisena's move because of constitutional provisions stating a Parliament can't be dissolved until 4 1/2 years after its election. The current Parliament was elected in August 2015.
"It's totally unconstitutional," said Harsha de Silva, a member of Wickremesinghe's United National Party and a former government minister. "Sirisena has relegated the constitution to toilet paper. We will fight this dictator to the end."
The party said in a Twitter message that it will meet the elections commissioner to discuss the constitutionality of Sirisena's move.
The U.S. State Department tweeted that it is deeply concerned by news that the Sri Lanka Parliament will be dissolved, "further deepening the political crisis."
"As a committed partner of Sri Lanka, we believe democratic institutions and processes need to be respected to ensure stability and prosperity," the statement said.
Earlier, U.S. Rep. Eliot Engel, the top-ranking Democrat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and two other lawmakers wrote to Sirisena warning that actions circumventing the democratic process could impact U.S. assistance — including a planned five-year aid package from the Millennium Challenge Corporation worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
"We fear that recent actions, if not corrected, will threaten your country's democratic development and derail the progress made in recent years," the three lawmakers said in a letter, a copy of which was obtained by The Associated Press.
Associated Press writers Krishan Francis in Colombo, Sri Lanka, Emily Schmall in New Delhi and Matthew Pennington in Washington contributed to this report.

<title>Human chromosome 2</title>

I don't see why the original fusion that formed our chromosome 2
should have formed a reproductive barrier at all. Floating
polymorphism for Robertsonian fusions is quite common, and in many
cases apparently causes little or no reductiuon in fertility (examples
from rodents, spiders, grasshoppers, bovids, cockroaches....). There
is no clear pattern as to when fusions will result in nondisjunction
vs when they won't, but fusion trivalents are more likely to be stable
when the arms of the fusion are of similar length (there is a
difference in arm length on our chromosome 2, but it isn't extreme)
and crossovers are relatively distal (don't know if that is the case
here) - the 14/21 fusion in humans is an example of very unequal
arm lengths and it often missegregates, although people with this
fusion still produce offspring and most are normal (5-10% of offspring
are tri 21, presumably many more lost through spontaneous abortion, in
addition to the other nondisjunction products). So fixation of the
chromosome 2 fusion is unlikely to have required the very extreme
circumstances you have outlined. If the fusion floated in the
population even for a relatively short time, crossing over would have
eroded any signal of the "founder event" except for very
close to the centromere. There must be enough data on markers to
establish if that is the case.

The fusion is a very obvious change in the karyotype, but I think it
is the inversions that are more likely to have been involved in
speciation events. Two of them specifically. As inversions preclude
recombination, we would expect to see less variation in the inverted
regions as the coalescence time is much more recent than for the rest
of the genome. Again gene mappers probably have those data already.
The interesting thing would be to compare the variation between the
inversions to get an idea of their order of occurrence - an older
inverted region would have had more time to accumulate variation. If
the inversions accumulate variation in a clock-like fashion, then
dating the inversions may also date the speciation events.

AAFP Names Bellinda Schoof Director of Health of the Public and Science
Tuesday, Nov. 26, 2013
Megan Moriarty
Public Relations Strategist
American Academy of Family Physicians
(800) 274-2237 Ext. 6052
LEAWOOD, Kan. — The American Academy of Family Physicians has named Bellinda Schoof, MHA, CPHQ, its new Division Director of Health of the Public and Science.
In her new role, Schoof is responsible in part for overseeing the organization's development of evidence-based clinical guidelines, recommendations for preventive services and policies related to health of the general public. The division also administers programs designed to reduce tobacco use and obesity and increase exercise, and oversees the National Research Network.
Prior to her promotion, Schoof served Clinical Policies Manager in the division. She first came to the AAFP in 1998, having previously worked as director of the Health Care Quality Improvement Program at the Kansas Foundation for Medical Care.
"It's been an honor to work toward a healthier America as part of the AAFP's Health of the Public and Science team," Schoof said. "I'm excited to assume this new role as the AAFP and the country confront a rapidly changing health care landscape."
Schoof received her bachelor's degree and Master of Health Administration degree from Indiana University. In 1997, she attained the National Association for Healthcare Quality's Certified Professional in Healthcare Quality designation, which she has maintained ever since.
"Bellinda's experience, professionalism and passion for health care quality made her an obvious choice to lead the division's efforts," said Julie Wood, MD, vice president for Health of the Public and Interprofessional Activities. "The work of our Health of the Public and Science staff is increasingly important in today's health care environment, and Bellinda's deep knowledge of the issues make her a valuable leader."
Schoof assumes many of the responsibilities of Herbert Young, MD, who retired as Division Director in July after three decades with the AAFP. The organization will also be hiring a new Medical Director for the division.
# # #
Founded in 1947, the AAFP represents 136,700 physicians and medical students nationwide. It is the largest medical society devoted solely to primary care. Family physicians conduct approximately one in five office visits -- that's 192 million visits annually or 48 percent more than the next most visited medical specialty. Today, family physicians provide more care for America's underserved and rural populations than any other medical specialty. Family medicine's cornerstone is an ongoing, personal patient-physician relationship focused on integrated care. To learn more about the specialty of family medicine, the AAFP's positions on issues and clinical care, and for downloadable multi-media highlighting family medicine, visit www.aafp.org/media.

GRAND RAPIDS (AP) -- A judge won't stop a new Grand Rapids law that makes small amounts of marijuana possession a civil infraction instead of a misdemeanor crime.
Kent County Judge Paul Sullivan declined to order an injunction last Wednesday. But he cautioned that a challenge to the law still remains pending.
Grand Rapids residents in November voted to make possession of small amounts of marijuana a civil infraction. City officials say anyone caught with more than 2.5 ounces will be referred to prosecutors.
County Prosecutor Bill Forsyth is challenging the amendment to the Grand Rapids City Charter, saying it would prohibit police from enforcing state law regarding illegal marijuana possession.

Jackie Chan is landing his last punch as an action star, but says he is stepping into retirement having made one of the most important films of his career.
The Hong Kong actor told the AP on Friday that his latest film "Chinese Zodiac" will be his last action movie.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Cannes Film Festival 2012
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
Chan, launching the movie at the Cannes Film Festival with co-stars Kwone Sang Woo, Yao Xingtong and Liao Fan, said that people don't believe him when he says he is going to retire.
"They say 'no, you're still young, you can still do it,' but I have to stop one day."
VIEW THE PHOTOS: CinemaCon 2012: The Stars Take Over Vegas
The 58-year-old says he is bowing out with "Chinese Zodiac" — in which he plays a fortune hunter, travelling the world trying to track down missing astrological antiques — because it is one of the "most important" films in his career.
Chan says he spent seven years working on the movie — writing, producing, directing and coordinating fight scenes.
"For the last ten years I've been choosing the director to direct me. This one I direct myself." he said. "I hope this movie, 20 years later, people still remember it. For me, for the audience, for my future, for my history — it's very important."

Chan says "Chinese Zodiac," and the many films before it, have taken their toll on his body.
"It hurts, it really hurts," he says, flinching. "The shoulder, the ankle, it really hurts. You don't know because I still look healthy."
VIEW THE PHOTOS: 'The Avengers' Premiere
Not that he plans on putting his feet up — Chan shrugs off suggestions of taking up gardening, cooking or bowling in his spare time. He wants to work on his acting muscles instead.
"When I look at Hollywood, at Robert De Niro, he can do anything — comedy, drama," he says.
"Clint Eastwood— 60-70 years old, he can still move. I said yes, that's my goal. Because action stars' life is so short. Actor's life is very long. I want to show audiences I can act."

I am trying to remember if I ever once prayed for the perpetrators of the Oklahoma City bombing.
I know I prayed — and fervently — that the FBI would get the right person or persons. The only thing worse than being a victim of one of these things would be to be accused of it and not have done it.
I wanted the right people to get got.
I think I prayed before the execution of one of the perpetrators. I remember I was upset about the idea of them strapping him down and killing him like he was an animal in a slaughter house. I never confused him with an animal. I always knew he was human and that what he had done was a specifically human act.
I did not want him executed. But once he was dead, I was glad that I would never have to hear any of his comments or words again. I was glad his ashes were scattered. I did not want him to have a grave where people would go and take photos of each other standing beside his marker. I wanted him forgot.
But … did I ever pray for his soul? I think I did, on the day of his execution. But I'm honestly not sure.
I've never prayed for it since then. I can tell you that.
I spent far too much time back then, thinking about the perpetrators of this mass murder. It was so premeditated. They planned it and worked toward it for months, robbing for money and resources that they stockpiled until they had enough to build a bomb. This was beyond deliberate. It was something these men worked toward the way better people work toward college degrees or buying their first home. It was a long-term goal for them.
I couldn't wrap my mind around that. I could not fathom that someone would get up in the morning and go to work building a bomb to kill other people and that they could do it for months. Why would anyone think this was a good idea?
Then, one day, I realized that I would never understand and that I didn't need to understand.
I can't understand Beethoven, either. But for different reasons. I hear the Fifth Symphony and I know that he heard it before he ever wrote a note. He heard all of the instruments in his mind. He heard them individually and together simultaneously. He heard it and he wrote it down with musical notes on a piece of paper so that we could hear it too.
How did he do that? How can anyone do what Beethoven did? I don't understand because I do not have the talent to fly that high.
Conversely, I don't understand these cold-blooded killers because I can't bend down that low. You have to squeeze yourself into a painfully small box to think like these murderers do. You have to amputate large parts of your soul and psyche to shrink it down to something small enough to even begin to comprehend why and how they could decide that doing something like this was a worthy project.
Every time one of these things happens, we are inundated with comments from people who tell us that the killer seemed like one of us. But of course, that's not true. They're not like us, at least not in the only thing about them that matters to the rest of us; their murderous desires. The "normal Joe" mass murderer is an ironic viewpoint perpetrated on the rest of us to titillate and engage us. It is not true.
I don't know and I don't care why and how they are different. That's the job of FBI profilers and others with a calling and a dedication that I don't have.
I suppose, after I write this, I'm going to have to pray for the perpetrators of the Oklahoma City bombing. It's not going to be easy. I will first have to dig them out from the box where I put them long ago.
The one labeled "Trash."

Behaviors must be first class — this is a belief I have held for almost my entire tenure as an FRP researcher. The belief originated about two weeks after I learned of FRP, when I wrote my first FRP Arrow and in it tried to write a small game. The process was awkward; not as clean and natural as what I had dreamt of for the paradigm. The awkwardness arose when trying to wrangle a time-varying list of time-varying enemies. I concluded that Arrowized FRP (AFRP) was terrible at managing dynamic collections of behaviors, and therefore that an FRP system needed dynamic collections to be powerful enough to do nontrivial things.
Only half of my conclusion was justified. AFRP is indeed terrible at managing dynamic collections of behaviors. But I never questioned the latter half. It epitomizes what Conal Elliott calls "proof by lack of imagination": since I couldn't devise a way to write my game without dynamic collections, there must not be a way.
Conal and the rest of the FRP gang has been discussing the semantic junk in classic FRP. Clearly there is more (or rather, less) to an interactive Behavior than an arbitrary function between two non-interactive ones. This identified, my mind immediately jumped to Arrows. That is what they are for: function-like things that can't do quite as much as regular functions.
And for some reason — perhaps it is my increased functional maturity — I feel no need for first-class behaviors anymore, no awkwardness for their lack. Programming with them doesn't feel like the rest of functional programming. It feels too open-ended; i.e. I can say too much in the code without saying it in the type. I feel now like Arrows are a perfect fit for FRP. And fortunately, we already have an efficient AFRP implementation. It's not a great implementation — there are semantic and operational details that could be improved, but it is something to start from, which is more than I had before.
I don't blame myself for temporarily believing that we needed first-class behaviors. But I am disappointed in myself for taking so long to question that belief. FRP was my world. I was determined to understand it and to make it a practical alternative to Haskell's IO. But I ended up blatantly ignoring half of the ongoing research because I didn't believe it would work. This is not acceptable for a serious researcher.
The perfect way is only difficult for those who pick and choose.
Do not like, do not dislike; all will then be clear.
Make a hairbreadth difference, and Heaven and Earth are set apart.
If you want the truth to stand clearly before you, never be for or against.
The struggle between for and against is the mind's worst disease.

Shortly before being forced to don a full body, nondescript orange jumpsuit for her 14 day jail sentence, Lindsay Lohan bared quite a lot of skin in a racy cover shoot for "Maxim" magazine.
LiLo, who was accompanied at the Chateau Marmont shoot by her sister and few friends, was relatively untroubled on the set, according to a report from The Scoop.
"She was great to work with," said Ruth Hilton, "Maxim's" West Coast editor. "It's the only shoot I've done where it finished early," she said.
U.S. & World
Hilton said that Lohan was a professional throughout their time working together and that the star seemed "philosophical" about her looming time in jail and rehab.
"She kind of accepted she had to get on with things," Hilton said. "You have to do your best to get through it and get the best advice at every level."
In the interview accompanying the photo spread, Lohan said that she wants to re-dedicate herself to acting once she's able. She also wants to do some international travel, citing India and Malawi as places she'd like to visit.
Lohan is set to appear in Robert Rodriguez's forthcoming action flick "Machete" with Robert De Niro, Jessica Alba, and Michelle Rodriguez.

EVENT DATE: Apr 15, 2017
Members of Zeta Alpha Pi at Kenyon College organize this annual event to honor the memory of their sister, Anna Frutiger, who suffered a fatal deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism in 2010, just a month after her 23rd birthday.
The statistics are startling. Approximately 350,000 to 600,000 people get blood clots in the leg (DVT/deep vein thrombosis) or the lung (PE/pulmonary embolism) each year. As a result of these blood clots, we know that at least 100,000 Americans die each year. More simply, 274 people in the US will die each day of a PE. Anna was one of those 274 people on May 20, 2010.
Anna embodied brains, beauty, compassion, athleticism, and as such, seemed the picture of health while she was living her dream of becoming a dentist. No one expected that a blood clot would end her dream. Her story gets shared around the world every day. Her legacy lives on through her story. It continues to make an impact and save lives. We firmly believe that had the awareness and knowledge of the risks factors and signs of DVT/PE been made available to us and to Anna in the months before her death, that she might be alive today.
We invite you to be a part of Anna's Team. Your support will enable the NBCA to continue its life-saving mission. A mission dedicated to advancing the prevention, early diagnosis and successful treatment of life-threatening blood clots such as DVT, PE and clot-provoked strokes. We thank you in advance for supporting Anna's Team and continuing to preserve her important legacy.
Event Details Date: April 15th, 2017
Time: 12:00 PM

Have Your Heart in Your Mouth
This expression means that you're really scared or anxious about something. Thousands of years ago in ancient Greece, the poet Homer used the phrase in his famous poem The Iliad, and people have been saying it ever since.
When your heart starts pounding so much that you can feel a thumping in your throat, it may feel like you "have your heart in your mouth." But the good news is that your heart can't move into your throat, mouth, or anywhere else. It stays put!

The Games are over and the athletes and ...
Moguls gold goes to Canadian Alex Bilodeau
Canada's Alexandre Bilodeau (C) celebrates next to second place Australia's Dale Begg-Smith (L) and third place Byron Wilson from the US (R) after winning the Men's Freestyle Skiing Moguls event at Cypress Mountain during the Vancouver Winter Olympics on February 14, 2010.

WEST VANCOUVER - The shutout is over.
His name is Alex Bilodeau. He is 22 years old. His mother forced him to quit playing hockey at the age of seven, so he grudgingly moved to the freestyle club at the local ski hill.
Remember the name, Canada: Alex Bilodeau.
The moguls skier from Rosemere, Que. goes down in history as the first Canadian to ever win gold on home soil.
"I don't think I realize it yet," said Canada's newest sporting hero, standing under the bright lights at Cypress Mountain. "It's just too good to be true."
And to think Bilodeau also saved people from coast to coast the indignity of watching West Vancouver native Dale Begg-Smith become the first Canadian to hit the top of the podium at home.
On behalf of his adopted country of Australia.
"Alex took the first gold," said Canadian coach Dominick Gauthier. "The other athletes can just breathe a bit. The first gold has been won."
And the pressure, to a degree, is off.
"Of course people would have freaked out like we did for Beijing," Gauthier said of the entire week without a single medal at the 2008 Summer Olympics. "Now it's done. The athletes can just think about what they have to do."
Canada's dubious shutout streak extended through the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal, the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary and two days of the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver.
Jenn Heil, Bilodeau's training partner, won silver Saturday. The country expected gold.
But the avalanche of Canadian medals, Bilodeau promised, has just begun.
"There are so many good golds to come," said Bilodeau, who finished 11th as a teenager at the Turin Olympics. "I've seen all the other athletes in competition. They are so strong. I'm going to be in the stands cheering for them.
"I'll try to keep a bit of voice for them."
That might be tough. Bilodeau could barely croak out his words over the madness. A crowd of 8,269 hearty souls at Cypress Mountain went wild over the rare privilege of witnessing history unfold before them.
Begg-Smith entered the Olympics as the undisputed favourite to win gold. Born in West Vancouver, the self-made millionaire moved to Australia back in 2001 in a spat with the Canadian Freestyle Ski Association.
Canadian officials refused to allow the rising star the flexibility to balance his burgeoning Internet advertising business with training. So he left and proceeded to win gold for Australia at the 2006 Winter Games in Turin, Italy.
The 25-year-old cruised into first place with a score of 26.58. Then came Bryon Wilson. The unknown American finished just back with a score of 26.08.
Bilodeau stood at the top of the hill and took a deep breath.
"I had no regrets over what I've done in the last four years," he told himself. "I'm ready. The most ready I've ever been."
And he was. Bilodeau launched himself down the hill, flew over the jumps, landed cleanly and roared over the finish line in 23.17 seconds.
He finished with a combined scored of 26.75 to knock Begg-Smith out of first place.
Guilbaut Colas, of France, failed to hit the podium with the final run of the night.
"I don't believe it yet," Bilodeau said. "It's been a dream since I was a little kid, and it's come true."
Vincent Marquis, of Quebec City, finished just off the podium in fourth place after a tough qualifying run. Pierre-Alexandre Rousseau, of Drummondville, Que., pulled off the run of his life for fifth. Maxime Gingras, of St-Hippolyte, Que. placed 10th.
But the night belonged to Bilodeau.
"I can't think," he said. "It's too good to be true."
Nearby stood his older brother. Frederic Bilodeau has cerebral palsy. Doctors told his parents that he would never walk beyond the age of 10.
Frederic is 28. He stood on his own power at the finish line and pumped his red mitten skywards in sheer jubilation.
Frederic still walks. He even skis, although he wipes out more often than not.
"My brother is my inspiration," Bilodeau said, wiping tears from his eyes. "He taught me so many things in my life.
"I have great friends in the stands waiting for me. I've got everything on my side.
"Everything was perfect."
An entire country agrees.

Object Removal & Clean Plating Automatically remove unwanted elements, wires, rigs and tracking marks with ease. mocha Pro's Remove Module is an amazing alternative to traditional clone and paint techniques for getting rid of unwanted pixels and removing objects. It automatically detects and blends pixels from other frames with little user input, offering massive time savings. mocha Pro's clean plate functionality imports and corrects fixed frames for digital beauty work and matte painting. 3D Camera Solver Camera tracking for 3D visual effects. Solve 3D match moving capabilities with planar ease. Unlike feature based tracking, mocha solves the 3D camera based on user-selected planes. This fast and easy-to-use solution is ideal for set extensions, 3D text and particle tracking. Additionally the 3D solver can be used to assist other 3D tracking applications on difficult shots with low detail or significant foreground occlusions. Stereoscopic 3D New tools optimized for stereo 3D projects. mocha Pro 4 has been updated to support native stereo 3D. This new workflow uses planar tracking analysis on "both eye views" to reduce manual offsets and tedious keyframe work on stereo 3D rotoscoping, tracking, 3D camera solve and object removal. Lens Module Calibrate, correct and remove lens distortion. This simple and easy-to-use interface allows users to calibrate the distortion introduced by camera lenses. Unwanted lens distortion can be removed or matched for realistic compositing. Export to the free mocha Lens plug-in for After Effects or export distortion map data for Nuke, Flame, Fusion and more*.

The patients, both men, aged 55 and 78, were from Riyadh region.
They became ill at the end of September 2013 and died in the beginning of October 2013. Both the patients were reported to have had no contact to a known laboratory-confirmed case with MERS-CoV.
Globally, from September 2012 to date, WHO has been informed of a total of 138 laboratory-confirmed cases of infection with MERS-CoV, including 60 deaths.
Based on the current situation and available information, WHO encourages all Member States to continue their surveillance for severe acute respiratory infections (SARI) and to carefully review any unusual patterns.
Health care providers are advised to maintain vigilance. Recent travellers returning from the Middle East who develop SARI should be tested for MERS-CoV as advised in the current surveillance recommendations.
Specimens from patients' lower respiratory tracts should be obtained for diagnosis where possible. Clinicians are reminded that MERS-CoV infection should be considered even with atypical signs and symptoms, such as diarrhoea, in patients who are immunocompromised.
Health care facilities are reminded of the importance of systematic implementation of infection prevention and control (IPC). Health care facilities that provide care for patients suspected or confirmed with MERS-CoV infection should take appropriate measures to decrease the risk of transmission of the virus to other patients, health care workers and visitors.
All Member States are reminded to promptly assess and notify WHO of any new case of infection with MERS-CoV, along with information about potential exposures that may have resulted in infection and a description of the clinical course. Investigation into the source of exposure should promptly be initiated to identify the mode of exposure, so that further transmission of the virus can be prevented.
WHO does not advise special screening at points of entry with regard to this event nor does it currently recommend the application of any travel or trade restrictions.
WHO has convened an Emergency Committee under the International Health Regulations (IHR) to advise the Director-General on the status of the current situation. The Emergency Committee, which comprises international experts from all WHO Regions, unanimously advised that, with the information now available, and using a risk-assessment approach, the conditions for a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) have not at present been met.
Geneva, Oct 15, IRNA -- WHO said on Tuesday it has been informed of an additional two laboratory-confirmed cases of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) infection in Saudi Arabia.

MILFORD - More than 30 medical, mental health and substance abuse professionals, along with legislators and public health officials, came to a consensus Thursday in terms of helping those struggling with addiction: More needs to be done.
A forum held at Milford Regional Medical Center and organized by state Sen. Richard Moore, D-Uxbridge, state Rep. John Fernandes, D-Milford, state Department of Public Health Commissioner Cheryl Bartlett and Milford Regional Medical Center's Chief Executive Officer Frank Saba, highlighted areas of substance abuse treatment that need more attention.
Bartlett, speaking at the eighth regional roundtable discussion in which she has participated statewide, said there has been a 90-percent increase in opioid related deaths in the last 10 years.
About half of the patients that come to substance abuse programs are there primarily because of opiates, and 40 percent of those individuals are between the ages of 13 and 29, she said.
"It's a burgeoning problem," Bartlett said.
The access to Narcan, a nasal spray that reverses the effects of an oipiod overdose, has been beneficial, but more needs to be done before an overdose occurs, such as banning the use of Zohydro, Bartlett said.
However, in July a U.S. District Court judge ruled against a proposed ban on Zohydro, a powerful painkiller.
Bartlett also said addicts find it increasingly difficult to get help in what she called a "fragmented system of care."
When an addict goes to a hospital emergency room, they are often told there are not enough beds. Instead, they are given a list of treatment centers, she said.
"They go home and use again," Bartlett said. "We want to try to eliminate those gaps."
Moore said more focus needs to be placed on over-prescribing pain killers.
"There is a balance between pain management and over-prescription," he said. "There are a number of folks besides doctors and nurses that can prescribe."
Fernandes said he has had family members who have battled and struggled with addiction.
"It can be a very lonely, difficult place to be," he said.
Jeff Hopkins, the director of the hospital's emergency department, said a substance abuse task force recently established at the hospital and a prescription monitoring database are big steps, but actual treatment methods need some work.
"It's a very frustrating experience for patients to get set up with appropriate resources," he said.
To completely tackle the issue, Hopkins said everyone needs to pitch in.
"I've been practicing emergency medicine for a long time, and I can't tell you what the best treatment is," he said. "You need an all-hands-on-deck team approach."
Kelly Graves, a parent of a son who has been in recovery from opioid addiction for 15 months, said she has been attending a support group called Learn to Cope that has 14 chapters in the state.
"It saved my sanity," she said.
The program, supported by the state Department of Public Health, became the first of its kind to train family members in how to use Narcan.
Graves said that initiative has helped save the lives of 30 of the program's sons and daughters.
But she said substance abuse treatment is still a broken system that doesn't treat addiction seriously.
"The frustration is there, but we also have the fear on our side that our son or daughter is going to die," she said.

After a good breakfast the final day of the conference began with more breakout sessions.
Maltesers mean answers: a sweeter service for students based on user feedback: Angela Horrocks & Davina Omar, Kingston University.
Kingston University talked about their annual survey run every March for many years by the library with a chance to win Wii or Ipod, but maltesers for everyone. The incentive was small but drew in a good number of students. This survey is in addition to national student survey, but helps gets them in the answering frame of mind to complete the major one. The library survey fills a very important need that the NSS doesn't cover, for both students and library services. Having a clear purpose for the survey is very important, as otherwise the risk of the students getting survey fatigue could be high. Kingston focus on how students learn and this is the U.S.P. of the survey. Knowing the paths students use to access (e.g. mboile/vle etc) is very important in shaping how and what they teach to students, something I thought was especially interesting.
In terms of resources Kingston use software bought in from Priority Research, allowing their customisation, to handle the survey online along with the analysis. There are some issues
- The silent majority (10% return on population) and so worries over accurate representation.
- Contacting non-users → how to approach them
- Setting the questions → to be open and not drive students down a particular route.
In terms of staffing, need to give the staff the time and the top down support to do the user survey. Have to be prepared to trust the outcome – if students make a demand clear, need to respond appropriately. Kingston suggested you might need to think about quotas – departments, levels, ages or other demographic factors that you want to achieve in returns for appropriate representation. Thinking about how/why you might want to include as many of these as you can. Early surveys (1993) very much targeted at specific user groups, thought to be especially disadvantaged or in need. Yearly surveys since early 90s allow trends and rising (and reducing) priorities for student bodies to be clearly demonstrated.
In 2008 reintroduced 1-2-1 interviews on top of focus groups and surveys. A dozen done to test the waters, as an approach to non-users. Also now do additional focus groups at start of academic year to test early responses to changes put in place. Worry survey is contributing to sample already engaging users rather than non-users. 100 1-2-1s done in 2009 – gave a good snap shot of individual user experiences, rather than anonymised, average student point of vein. Survey moved to online this last year (partly environmental) but also reinvent survey (at least look and feel) – still offer maltesers to those that come to bank of computers. Comments and response from previous year's survey included in next year's, so the students can see how library has reacted. Drawbacks include lack of benchmarking with external entities, survey fatigue
The changing landscape of libraries: Tim Leach, BDP
This session was about buildings and architectural considerations. Tim said that library user needs strictly speaking haven't changed in centuries, light and study space for example, just the ways in which we use technologies and building designs to accommodate them. As technology allows users to work in other places than our library spaces, we have to ensure that our spaces continue to meet their needs and make a welcoming environment they want to visit. The UCL masterplan takes the inherent problems with their historic building and tries to provide as many solutions within a limited rebuild. The key issue was space – due to earlier renovations over the years the original building space is not what it was. There is a need for positive first impression from the first moment walking through door. The building must be legible and accessible, the use signage as a sign of failure (not a point I agree with 100%).
Architectural furniture and fixtures define use of areas, and are not flexible but are suitable for certain environments (e.g. where levels of privacy is desirable). However, they can be a block to interaction between different spaces. Natural light and ventilation provide an environment that can be comfortable for most people. Use technology to change way materials stored and accessed, not just treating shelving as the only answer. Even get people on roofs of buildings by building structures into the environment that surrounds them.
The great good place Andrew Cranfield, IFLA Library Buildings and Equipment Section
Library as the third place (between home and work) was the theme of Andrew's talk. Library environment and impact of the building resign on staff functions – the two are not independent and need to be considered together. Commented that many libraries today remain too conservative in their redesigns. Monopoly of information provision from libraries is now gone, and must address other approaches to provide services to users. Ambitious libraries (buildings) today seem to reflect new ways of thinking – no longer temple of knowledge to stand for generations but a right here/right now environment with more akin to the retail experience. Non-compartmentalisation of environments – books and café culture should be intertwined (e.g. like the idea stores).
Cerritos Public Library has a books entrance way and 1.2 million visitors/year for tiny local population. Andrew talked of his distaste for elitist colour schemes (black and white starkness) much better to have welcoming colours. Very, very white buildings in 6 months need repainting (e.g. Amsterdam central library). Cultural Black Diamond in Copenhagen – no feeling coming into library, almost too far the other way as a cultural centre, but not a library at all.
Libraries Change Lives Awards
The most interesting part of the awards was that the news of the winners (Leeds Central Libraries) was out on twitter 30 minutes before the start of the ceremony. Andrew Motion spoke briefly too.
Building a successful library Web 2 service James Smith (Sunderland Libraries) and Nick Stopforth (Newcastle Libraries)
The session was based on things they have done and have learned through trial and error. They shared with us their 7 lessons (well 5 as they over ran and the session ended before they could finish) they have learned through using Web 2 resources such as twitter, wikis, podcasting etc. They did demonstrate a very interesting mashup with Google maps, World War II bombing maps of Sunderland and eye witness accounts of the bombing. The session was mostly full of public librarians, who are it seems less clued up than HE libraries on this sort of technology and how/where it can fit into their working lives (3/4 of the audience had not even heard of twitter for example).
That brought the conference to an end. It had been a packed two days, and I would have loved an extra day either before or after to more fully digest everything that had been discussed. The highs would have to include my session, the networking and the updating of information and skills in general. The lows, well the "gala" conference dinner, lack of hands on sessions and only two days for a very intensive conference. All the same I hope to be back for 2011!

Voice Recorders
A voice recorder is a device designed to easily record someone speaking and to save that recording for later use. Digital voice recorders are far more useful than their analog counterparts because the recordings can be transferred to a computer, edited with tools like Audacity and shared individually or as part of a series (podcast).
Stand alone digital voice recorders are available from the Library circulation desk. Also available are iTalks, voice recorders that can be used with some models of iPods.
Full documentation is available on the LIS Ed Tech wiki.

Nick was on his way back from a charity event for Keep It On The Track, an organization devoted to safe driving.
The reality star, who appeared with his famous father, Hulk Hogan, and the rest of his family on VH1's "Hogan Knows Best," spent several months in jail in 2008 on charges stemming from a 2007 car accident that left his friend John Graziano with debilitating injuries.

Bachelor of Music (BM)
Master of Music (MM)
Graduate Certificate (GCRT)
Doctor of Musical Arts (DMA)
If you are planning to apply to the Artist Diploma program please follow the audition requirements on the Artist Diploma page.
Note: This information applies only to classical guitar applicants. For Studio Guitar, please refer to the Studio Guitar requirements.
Applicants to Classical Guitar must submit a video recording to be pre-screened by the faculty. The results of this pre-screen will determine whether an applicant will be invited to perform a live audition on the USC campus in Los Angeles. Pre-screen recordings must include video. Audio recordings will not be accepted.
Note: Video recordings will not be accepted via mail or email for this program. Video recordings must be submitted online through the "Fall SlideRoom portal" by the December 1st deadline. Any application not complete by December 1 may be removed from consideration.
Please note: Current Thornton Classical Guitar students applying for a graduate program are not required to submit a prescreen recording, however they must indicate on the application that they are a current Thornton student or they will not automatically be scheduled for a live audition. Current USC students are encouraged to contact Kit Bellamy in the Thornton Admission office with any questions or concerns regarding audition scheduling.
Pre-screen recording requirements
The prescreen video should include the following for all degrees of application:
- The submitted video recording must contain two pieces of contrasting character and those pieces must be from different style periods. Ideally, one piece should be composed before 1900 and the other should be composed after 1900. The video recording should be about 12 minutes long.
Live audition requirements
It is not necessary that the repertoire submitted as pre-screening material be included in what will be performed at the live audition and the pre-screening material does not need to conform to the live audition repertoire requirement described below. Live audition repertoire should include the following:
- BM applicants: Three selections of contrasting styles from the standard solo literature should be prepared for the live audition. If any of the selections are taken from a multi-movement sonata or concerto, applicants need only prepare one movement of the piece. In addition, applicants should be prepared to demonstrate the proficient use of both apoyando (rest stroke) and tirando (free stroke), as evidenced in the prepared audition repertoire or with representative technical exercises such as selections from the Giuliani 120 Studies for the Right Hand and major and minor scales from the Shearer or Segovia or similar pedagogical systems. Sightreading may also be required at the time of audition.
- MM, GC, and DMA applicants: Thirty minutes of standard solo and/or ensemble pieces from the classical guitar literature should be prepared for the live audition.
In the event that a student is not able to perform the live audition at USC, s/he may request that a pre-screen video recording be considered in lieu of the live audition. It is extremely important to note, however, that only a video recording which includes both the required pre-screen audition repertoire and the required live audition repertoire would be considered in lieu of a live audition. Audio recordings will not be considered in lieu of a live audition nor will any recording that does not include the required live audition repertoire.
Important notes:
- DMA applicants are required to submit a "Personal Introductory Video" as part of their SlideRoom Portfolio. For detailed instructions click here.
- Undergraduate applications are not accepted for Spring admission to this program unless the applicant is already enrolled at USC. All applicants for spring admission are also required to submit a video recording for pre-screening. Spring applicants will be notified via email regarding their prescreen decision.

The reason why we don't know alot about Emmett is because his story was cut from the book. In the story he talks about how he because a vampire and his first impressions of Rose and Carlisle and how much trouble he caused as a newborn. His part is titled Emmett and The Bear, you can find it on SM's website in the outtakes part. After reading it, I learned a whole lot about him and he became my favorite character.Lightwish wrote:I like that he is a good brawler. Other than that we dont really hear or learn too much about this guy.
I would like to know the answer to this also because I found Emmett to be quite charming and very likeable. So the statement about Emmett being a pain is kind of shocking.urcoolcarrie wrote:I have to ask, why do you say Emmett was a pain i the other books? What did he do to make you say that?
Haha. Just realized I sounded a little...mean. I'm not, I'm just curious. I love Emmett, and I wondered what reason you have to make you say something like this.
If Emmett was not in the books, would have the story be completly changed??
I don't think that it would have changed the story at all. Like Carrie said there would be less humor and it would take on a very serious tone. Not having to do anything with the qestion but if there was no Emmett (Thank God, we don't have to worry about that) but then some of us wouldn't be able to call the EDC home.
Completely disregarding the canon chracters, who would you put Emmett with if he wasn't with Rosalie? And why? (Can be human, vampire or werewolf/shapeshifter.... dosen't matter!)
I agree with Cam, I would like to see Emmett and Alice together. I just think that with her being so quite and Emmett so loud and outspoken, I would be interesting to see how they would interact with each other.

European equities could provide haven amid global uncertainty
European equities could provide haven amid global uncertainty
- Greek threat subsiding
- US rate rise likely 'priced-in'
- China slowdown will weigh on exporters
- Domestically focused companies favoured
Three key risks for European equity markets
We have highlighted previously the three 'knowable' key risks for equities:
- Greece and eurozone turmoil
- US interest rates
- A possible China 'hard-landing'
We have some respite from the Greek crisis given the recent bailout agreement and whilst there remain many unresolved issues, there is a clear determination from the authorities on both sides to reach agreement.
With regard to the turn in the US rate cycle, never has there been so much coverage and anticipation of the Federal Reserve's move and we believe therefore the change is probably 'priced-in'.
In any case, over the last 25 years the US equity market has initially reacted negatively as interest rates increase, but the reaction is temporary and has reversed within six months as the underlying health of the economy and corporate profits become the key drivers.
The slowdown in China has been inevitable, but the degree of slowdown is an area of considerable debate and the trigger for recent market volatility.
European equities offer almost 'safe haven' status in a world of increasing economic uncertainty.
We recognise that China has been through a government-led, credit-fuelled expansion focused on investment and infrastructure.
The economy needs to transition more towards consumption and the government needs to ensure this rebalancing occurs without the economy collapsing.
Recent market volatility has been caused by fears that the Chinese authorities will be unable to manage this transition and as a result the familiar 7% GDP growth target will be missed.
There have been a series of policy mistakes, such as trying to artificially inflate the stockmarket, which have undermined international investor confidence in China in conjunction with poor manufacturing data which showed the economy is slowing more rapidly than expected.
China threat to export industries
Sadly our ability to predict Chinese policy is very limited but we do know that around 10% of goods exported from the EU go to China, nearly 70% of which are within the machinery, transport and chemicals sectors.
Whilst the growth of exports to China has been 9.8% p.a. from 2010-2014, the absolute amounts involved are small at €165 billion when compared to intra-EU traded goods which is approximately €2.8 trillion.
Domestically-oriented stocks are seeing stronger positive earnings per share revisions than exporters but on average trade at a substantial discount.
Our belief is that the long awaited recovery in Europe is happening and whilst specific industries will be impacted by a Chinese slowdown, the momentum around Europe should continue given expanding credit, structural reforms, improved business confidence and increasing consumer expenditure.
As a reference point, it has taken seven years for the size of the eurozone economy to exceed the level achieved in 2008.
Exports to China helped prevent an even worse European recession during the eurozone crisis, but now the much more important domestic engine of growth will ensure the European economy can grow despite the Chinese situation.
Domestic bliss
At the portfolio level, we particularly favour companies whose operations are focused on the domestic economy.
Domestically-oriented stocks are seeing stronger positive earnings per share revisions than exporters but on average trade at a substantial discount.
Whilst we believe the European recovery is on track and the impact from China will be limited, we acknowledge that deflationary pressure from commodities and imports is likely to feed into inflation expectations.
In addition, continued currency devaluations in the emerging markets will reduce the relative competitiveness of the euro.
These issues may demand a policy response from the European Central Bank at some point but our belief for the coming 12 months is that European equities could offer a relative 'safe-haven' when compared to other markets around the world.

A recently published cell phone video out of Wash. state shows an Air Force veteran being arrested at gunpoint for legally open carrying an AR-15 rifle
The incident, which occurred on June 29, 2013, began when Vancouver police confronted Mack Worley as he walked down a public sidewalk towards his vehicle.
"Stop right there. Put the rifle on the ground," an officer repeats over a police vehicle loudspeaker.
Worley, fearing for his safety, puts the rifle on the ground while a second officer demands he place his hands on top of his head.
"Am I being detained right now officer?" Worley asks.
After being forced to lift his t-shirt to prove he is not carrying a sidearm, Worley is repeatedly asked to turn off his cell phone by an Officer Rawlins. Refusing to do so, Worley again asks if he is being detained without receiving an answer.
"Just so you know officer, I don't consent to any searches or seizures of my firearm," Worley says as officers seize his property without probable cause.
Worley then begins documenting the names of the officers on scene, receiving a snide remark from a visibly unstable officer known as Hernandez.
Asking again if he is being detained, Officer Hernandez admits that no criminal suspicion has been acquired. Given the fact that the mere sight of a legally carried rifle does not equate to probable cause, Hernandez's comments reveal the stop to be completely unconstitutional.
"No crimes have been committed at this point that we know of," Hernandez says. "Maybe your gun is stole, I don't know."
Shortly after, an unnamed officer can be seen scattering Worley's ammunition across the sidewalk. The officer wrongfully claims that Worley's refusal to waive his Fourth Amendment is suspicious behavior before eerily foreshadowing the events to unfold.
Attempting to return to his vehicle, Worley is ordered to leave the parking lot by Officer Hernandez, forcing him to head the opposite direction. Walking down a public sidewalk, Worley is again ordered to change his direction by a second officer. Left with no options, Worley tries to alert the officer to his vehicle's location as he is incorrectly accused of trespassing.
Boxed in with nowhere to go, officers suddenly converge on Worley before placing him under arrest for "trespassing with a weapon capable of producing bodily harm." Worley's cell phone was confiscated as "evidence" for more than a year.
According to Worley, officers demanded he submit to a breathalyzer test or be put in a drunk tank once reaching the police station. In custody for four and half hours, Worley was denied access to an attorney, a phone call, water and his inhaler.
The following week, Worley plead not guilty to all charges. He has since set up a legal defense fund in order to file a civil suit against the department.
"This obviously isn't just for me, it's for everyone's rights. If they can do this to me, they can do this to anyone," said Worley.
Last November, a similar incident captured by police dashcam revealed the arrest of an Army master sergeant as he legally open carried during a hiking trip with his son. The veteran was absurdly accused of "rudely displaying" his rifle.

As the sole descendant of his family line he is not sure what to do or where he should go, but in the midst of this uncertainty, he holds fast to what his grandfather always told him: 'No man knows who he is until he knows his past, the history of his country.'
As Oscar sets out to find his ancestral village of Pata de Puerco and the meaning of the magical pig's-foot amulet he has inherited, the search for his country's hidden history becomes entangled with his search for the truth about himself.
Ambitious in scope, yet intimate in tone, rippling with vitality and driven by passion, full of dark comedy, magical history and startling revelations, Pig's Foot is a dazzling evocation of Cuba's tumultuous history. It is a spellbinding accomplishment.

This garden hose was acquired as part of the Museum Victoria 'Curator for a Day project', undertaken in October 2007. The garden hose was manufactured by Gardner's Choice, a registered trademark of the Australian retailer K Mart. It is a soaker hose designed for watering a domestic garden.
The 'Curator for a Day project' was a collaboration between the Williamstown Environmental Neighbourhood Cluster and Museum Victoria's Water Smart Home project. Students were required to nominate objects relating to water conservation and changing water behaviour for inclusion in the Museum's Water Smart Home collection.
The Williamstown Neighbourhood Cluster is made up of Williamstown High School, Williamstown North Primary School, Williamstown Primary School and Spotswood Primary School. The cluster aims to develop a model for environmental education through active learning opportunities through local community partnerships. Students research, develop understanding and actively engage in environmental projects within their neighbourhood.
Physical Description
This Garden Hose is 15 metres in length and translucent green in colour. It has a black plastic tap attachment at one end. The hose has been packaged in a flat, roughly rectangular coil that is held in place by a cardboard label. The cardboard label has a large picture of a flower as well as details of the product length and features. The cardboard label is the same on both sides excepting that on one side, the figure $4.75 has been handwritten in black ink.
This 'Curator for a Day' collection of water related objects is historically and technically significant on both a practical and conceptual level. Several of the objects (hose attachment, sprinkler fitting, garden tap and car wash) are once common water related household and garden objects which reflect water behaviours and practices that have become outdated over recent years. Similarly, the novelty and game items reflect the way that water used feature in leisure activity and how this behaviour has changed. There is a need to collect these contemporary objects while they are in the process of being replaced but are still relatively common and therefore accessible for donation/acquisition. The collection is historically and technically significant as it offers insight in what this group of upper primary and lower secondary school students feel to be important objects to collect and conserve for the future. This in turn highlights how they perceive the current water crisis as well as how they perceive museums and the types of contemporary objects that should be collected.
The Curator for a Day collection of objects is also a very practical critique of water use and perceptions of wastefulness. It documents the current water use practices of this group of students and the change that is occurring in their own life time. It is an extremely tangible and insightful reflection of their own lived history. Acquiring this collection is also a dynamic way of documenting the unique 'Curator for a Day' project. In doing so, the evolution of the Water Smart Home program as well as how it adapted to the changing needs of the community is captured. In addition, the differing ways that Museum Victoria is engaging with the community is documented by the acquisition of this collection.
This object is strategically applicable to the Water Smart Home Project and broader issues of sustainability. This collection of objects is directly connected to the public program and water related heritage collection components of the Water Smart Home website. It is also representative of responses to environmental issues and to water conservation in a domestic context.

Thousands of runners participate in first EQT Pittsburgh 10 Miler
City's newest race draws international visitors
Thousands of runners made their way through several of the city's neighborhoods Sunday in the first-ever EQT Pittsburgh 10 Miler.
They hit the streets near Station Square, crossed four bridges and finished downtown, all while making the inaugural race a big success.
"We had about 5,000 runners today, so we more than doubled our expectations," said Charlene Petrelli, of the EQT Foundation.
"We basically ran the whole race together," said Jeff Schleicher, who was with his son.
"I love the course and everything. It was pretty flat, lot of down hills -- just a good environment," said Gregory Schleicher.
Some ran for sport. Others ran for fun. And a few ran to remember a friend who they lost.
"There's a group of us growing every year, running different events in Pittsburgh in honor of Sam," said Rocky Saportio.
Elifah Karanja, of Kenya, finished in first place with a time of 46:51.
The race was sponsored by EQT and organized by the Pittsburgh Three Rivers Marathon. And even though it was an inaugural race, somehow it's already drawing people from around the world.
"To run here and to see (Sidney) Crosby and all of that, it's awesome," said Christina Cooper. "I'm a Penguins fan. I flew from the U.K. to do a marathon in Washington on Sunday, and I found out about this one and I had to do it."

Passion fruit prefer fertile well drained soil in a sunny location. Freezes will generally only damage new growth but the vine tends to sprout back with vigor the following year. With regular watering a vine can be kept flowering and fruiting almost continuously. It is not uncommon for passiflora to produce their first year. Water requirement is high when fruits are approaching maturity. If soil is dry, fruits may shrivel and fall prematurely. Fertilizer (10-5-20 NPK) should be applied at the rate of 3 lbs (1.36 kg) per plant 4 times a year, under normal conditions. Horizontal trellises have cross-pieces at the top of each post with 2-4 wires strung horizontally 60 cm (2 ft.) apart along the top of each cross-piece. Vertical trellises consist of heavy posts without cross-pieces, with 2 or 3 wires strung along the row like barbed wire fencing, attached to the posts from the top down at intervals about 30-40 cm (12-16 in.) apart. Trellis wires should be No. 9 or 10 galvanized steel. The posts need to be stout enough to withstand the weight of the vines throughout a season that normally includes the buffeting of strong winds. Ideally they should be long enough to provide a trellis height of 1.5 m (5 ft.), with 45-75 cm (18-30 in.) in the ground. Trellis rows should be oriented north-south for maximum exposure to sunlight, and the vines should be allowed to grow together along the trellises to promote cross-pollination. But if you dont have a trellis a tree will work just as well, requiring that you only trim the vine back every spring to promote new growth.
