It's not too late to get your flu shot, according to Hood River County Health Department.
Flu season has started about one month early this year and the CDC (Center for Disease Control) is predicting it may be a bad flu season — meaning more people than usual experiencing flu, more hospitalizations and more deaths. The good news is it looks like this year's vaccine is a good match to the flu viruses people are experiencing.
There is a common misconception about the flu vaccine that it gives you the flu, according to Health Department officials. This isn't true — the flu shot cannot give you the flu: It is made from inactivated/killed virus.
Sometimes people get sick around the time of their shot (because this is the time of year lots of crud is going around) and assume they caught the flu from the shot. Usually they were already exposed, or they are exposed shortly after receiving the shot. The flu shot takes two weeks to become effective.
Other viruses and cold are often mistaken for flu. Additionally the injection site soreness, fatigue and achiness that some people experience after receiving the vaccine is not flu — it is the body doing a great job of mounting an immune response to protect you from the flu. These side effects are mild compared to a flu experience.
The CDC recommends everyone over six months of age get the flu shot. Flu shots are available in local doctor's offices, pharmacies and at the health department. The health department has flu vaccine available for the uninsured.
Also, don't let a fear of needles stop you from getting a flu vaccine. Flu mist is available for those from 2-49 years old. No needle is involved and it offers great flu protection.

Q & A: Aging and Diabetes
BIDMC Contributor
One out of every four people over age 65 has diabetes. Medha Munshi, MD, Director of the Geriatrics Clinic at Joslin Diabetes Center and Director of the Outpatient Geriatric Program at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, answers your questions about aging well with diabetes.
First of all, who are we talking about when we say "older adults?"
Dr. Medha Munshi: That's a good question. I actually do not like using the term "seniors" because that now includes people 50 and over! Medicare sets the age of eligibility at 65, but there is something to be said for "You are as young as you feel." In my clinic, the ages range from 65 to 101.
But, it is important to understand that more and more older adults (over 65 years) are highly functional individuals and are treated in similar fashion as the younger adults. On the other hand, some patients in their 70s, 80s and 90s tend to have difficulty performing self-care - these are the people we are talking about.
How does diabetes care change when someone gets older, or is diagnosed at an older age?
Dr. Medha Munshi: Although there are no separate guidelines for older adults with diabetes, there are several factors unique to older age that can complicate diabetes treatment in these patients.
The most important difference between young adults and older adults is that the older adults have many co-existing medical conditions. These conditions can act as barriers to a patient's ability to do self-care, an essential component for achieving good diabetes control. For example, heart disease, stroke, vision problems and hearing problems are some of the common conditions seen in elderly patients.
Another challenge in caring for older adults with diabetes is to make sure that the treatment is suitable for their environment. Some older adults live alone and we have to be careful to prescribe treatment that is safe and easy for them to take.
Lastly, the main goal for treatment of diabetes is to prevent complications in the future. On the other hand, hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) is a risk of the treatment of diabetes that can be dangerous to elderly patients. We try to avoid any episodes of hypoglycemia, particularly in those who are frail and use a cane or walker where falling is a risk.
What is cognitive dysfunction and how does it impact diabetes management in older adults?
Dr. Medha Munshi: We have noticed that elderly patients with diabetes suffer not so much from memory loss, but from difficulties with problem solving, planning and organizing. They also often have difficulty being attentive, starting a new behavior or stopping old behavior.
Since much of diabetes care involves these skills and behaviors, managing diabetes can become very difficult. For example, someone with cognitive dysfunction could have trouble monitoring blood glucose, taking medication, following diet plans and getting more physical activity. It is a major reason why older adults experience problems managing their disease.
How much of a problem is depression in older adults with diabetes?
Dr. Medha Munshi: People with diabetes are about twice as likely to be depressed as those without diabetes, and the rate increases with age. In our study at the Joslin Geriatric Diabetes Clinic, we found that approximately one-third of our patients had symptoms of depression.
When patients with diabetes have depression, they are at a higher risk of poor diabetes control. They have trouble following medication and diet regimens, and they often experience a reduction in quality of life, as well as an increase in healthcare costs. Recent studies have shown that if we treat depression successfully, we can improve blood glucose control in these patients.
Are there any signs of cognitive dysfunction or depression that family members can look out for?
Dr. Medha Munshi: Yes, there are some subtle changes that should raise concern:
- Blood glucose control is suddenly worse in an individual who has done fairly well on his/her own.
- Subtle changes in mental status; for example, being more forgetful about monitoring or taking medications, making mistakes in doses of insulin or even forgetting to eat a meal.
- Difficulty coping with multiple medical conditions or medications and seeming stressed or overwhelmed by it.
- Gradually becoming less socially active, dropping activities that they used to enjoy, or showing other signs of depression, such as sadness or hopelessness or isolation from friends and family.
An older adult displaying any of these behaviors should be screened for cognitive dysfunction and depression.
How are the goals different when treating an older adult than someone who is younger?
Dr. Medha Munshi: A major goal of treating elderly patients with diabetes is not just to improve their blood glucose, but also encourage higher functional status and improved quality of life. These goals are achieved by different strategies in individual patients. Here at Joslin, our goal is to achieve best possible blood glucose control, while maintaining acceptable quality of life for an individual. We avoid management plans that overwhelm patients physically, emotionally or financially. Safety remains our primary concern.
Do you have any parting advice for older adults with diabetes, or their loved ones?
Dr. Medha Munshi: I think one of the most important aspects of improving overall health, not just blood glucose, is physical activity. Physical activity can also improve blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and heart and lung function. It helps us feel energetic instead of tired all the time. We lose muscle mass as we age. For this reason, it is important to keep our existing muscle mass toned. This can be achieved by resistance training - about twice a week with light weights or bands. Aerobic exercise, which increases the heart rate, such as walking, stationary bicycling, and swimming is also important for improving diabetes control and heart and lung health.
Some of the amazing individuals who have aged well in their 90s tell me that their secret is "to eat moderately, stay physically active and keep a positive attitude in life." I think that is the best advice I can pass on to my patients.

Using Private IP Address on Cloud Servers
Each Cloud Server comes with two addresses that are available for your use. One address is an external "real-world" IP address that is accessible from the Internet and the other is an internal or "private" IP address. This internal IP address is on a network commonly called ServiceNet and is used within the Cloud.
Why do Cloud Servers have an Internal IP Address?
This IP address is an internal address that is only accessible by the Cloud Server platforms because it allows you to transfer data between Cloud Servers with no bandwidth charges.
Is ServiceNet Free?
Yes! This is a standard service that is offered with each Cloud Server at no additional cost. Your Cloud Server is pre-configured with your private IP address as soon as it is built.
How Do I Find My Private IP Address?
If you log into your Cloud Server, via SSH or the Console, you can type the command ip addr show eth1on most distributions to find your private IP address. Then look for the inet addrline. A sample output is posted here:
# ip addr show eth1
eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:18:78:56:34:12
; inet addr:10.1.98.200 Bcast:10.1.98.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
Note: You will need the address on the second line next to
What can I use the private address for?
The private IP address has many uses:
- High-availability Heartbeat
- Load balancing
- Remote database connections
- NFS/rsync
- Remote backup
As you can see, the possibilities are endless!

Fight to be fit at a new luxury Bangkok hotel that has pulled out all stops to create a wellness center. There's even a boxing ring in the hotel gym where guests can take Thai kickboxing lessons.
The Siam, owned by Thai rock star and actor Krissada Sukosol Clapp, is set on three acres along the Chao Praya River in the royal Dusit district. The all-suite hotel has 39 rooms and an array of fitness and wellness facilities, including a riverfront infinity pool and spa. It also offers yoga, tai chi and lessons in muay Thai, a martial art.
"We wanted to create a unique, authentic Thai experience based on health and wellness," said Jason Friedman, the hotel's general manager. "Muay Thai was the obvious choice because of the popularity of mixed martial arts."
Kickboxing programs run from one hour to several days. "The goal is fitness of mind and body as well as to have a deeper understanding of Thai culture and muay Thai," Friedman said.

Kuhani is a new coffee company that is looking for a label to use on our bags. The design should be eye catching, yet simple. Be creative, we are open to anything. The "Kuhani" logo on this label should be distinctive enough that it could be used on a letterhead or website, but the main thing is the label for the coffee bag.
We need a logo designed for our new coffee brand, "Kuhani." The main thing we need is a logo which will most prominantley be featured on the label of our coffee bag. So, it will be in about about a 3x5 space...give or take.Space needs to be available at the bottom of the logo to write in the specific type of coffee in the bag (eg. Ethiopian, Sumatra, etc)
Just to reinforce, this sticker is all we are going to have on our bag. It may look empty or lame if only the top 1/4 of the bag is covered by a sticker and the rest is just a brown bag. The sticker should probably cover a good portion of the front of the bag. For example, take a look at these (for size purposes):
- Item 1...Must say Kuhani.
- Must be a space somewhere oon the sticker for the type of coffee (Ethiopian, Sumatra, etc)
- Needs to be simple, yet distinct
- Would like it to have somewhat of an organic feel
- Design for word Kuhani needs to be usable for letter head and promotional material
- Nothing too generic (coffee cup clip art etc, unless it is done very uniquely)

2014 Kia Sorento SX: Long-Distance Driving Games
After trundling about town in our long-term 2014 Kia Sorento and testing its cargo capacity with a cross-city move, it was finally time to cut loose with a good ol' fashioned road trip. And because we find it far more fun to travel by car than by plane or train, my family managed to squeeze two long-distance excursions in the Kia within one month.
The cities of San Diego and Palm Springs are both a couple hours outside of Los Angeles, and worthwhile destinations for Angelenos seeking a change in scenery without crossing state borders. And so, with the cargo area packed with luggage and the rear seat occupied by our toddler, we hit the open road with the goal of exploring the Sorento's comfort and accommodations over the long haul.
Back-Seat Driving
As previously mentioned, our Sorento SX long-term tester comes equipped with a lengthy list of creature comforts, including heated and ventilated seats, a panoramic sunroof, and satellite radio bundled into the multimedia system. But after several hours in the driver's seat, I deemed it prudent to let my wife do the driving while I "tested" the rear-seat accommodations. After all, what better way to comprehend the passenger experience than by becoming one?
Sitting across from my 20-month-old son's car seat, I was impressed by the accommodations. Not only do rear passengers receive a good amount of airflow from the rear air-conditioning feature (which comes standard on SX and Limited models), they also get integrated sun shades and reclining seats.
After working my son toward distraction-induced nap time, it was finally time for me to turn the Sorento into a mobile office. The back seat proved a surprisingly accommodating environment for wordsmithing, as its recline levels offered enough space to comfortably perch my laptop on its intended destination: my lap. Also helpful was the built-in 115-volt power inverter, which kept my laptop battery charged as we rolled down the road.
Back to the Driver's Seat: Cruising in Autopilot
Switching back to the driver's seat solidified a few of my opinions of the 2014 Kia Sorento. First and foremost, its improved ride makes it easy to spend long periods of time driving in it, and though it's generally quiet at highway speeds, small amounts of wind and tire noise do eventually make their way into the cabin at higher velocities.
While switching to "Eco" mode results in annoyingly soft throttle response during city driving, the feature becomes tolerable at highway speeds, as long as aggressive passing isn't in your plan. While the cruise-control feature is welcome -- and necessary -- during my road trips, I found the steering-wheel-controlled "Accelerate" function to be somewhat abrupt: On more than one occasion, my wife commented about the car's jerky downshifting and acceleration when I used the function, even though the 6-speed automatic transmission is capable of smooth shifts during normal operation. Driving in traffic also made me pine for an adaptive cruise-control function, which is not available on the otherwise lavishly equipped SX model (or any other Sorento, for that matter).
On the Road, At the Pump
As we discovered on our travels, it's possible to eke out fairly respectable fuel-economy figures from the Sorento, considering its nearly 2-ton curb weight and the SX model's larger 3.3-liter V6. Highway cruising achieved an average of 24.5 miles per gallon, which is right on target with the Sorento SX's Environmental Protection Agency-estimated 24 mpg figure. Coupled with its 17.4-gallon fuel capacity, that equates to an estimated cruising range of 426 miles -- which is long enough to outlast my bladder capacity, and then some. The direct-injected V6 doesn't require premium fuel, offering a small victory against overall running costs.
Bottom Line: A Willing Road Warrior
The Sorento SX's healthy standard-equipment list makes it more accommodating during city drives, but those features become especially appreciated when it comes to extended seat time in this Korean-built crossover. Thanks to a thoughtfully designed rear-seat area and a pleasant panoramic sunroof, fatigued drivers will find it a welcome place to recharge while their partners take over piloting duties.
What's next for our long-term Sorento?
For starters, lots of city driving, further testing of its healthy feature list, and the inevitable dealer visit for routine maintenance.
Stay tuned for more.

How to elevate your artwork from the good-looking to the truly stunning? Alice Ross speaks to artists who have mastered the secrets of beauty
Many digital artists strive every day to achieve that quality we call beauty. Those who succeed, who create the kind of images that draw you closer simply so you can run your eyes over the contours and details, have pulled off one of the hardest artistic feats of all.
Beauty in art is much more than skin-deep: drawing a pretty girl is easy, but transforming her into an image that seems to shimmer before the viewer demands skill in colour and composition, and total mastery of style.
Pure by Pierre Doucin
For Danish artist Mads Berg (madsberg.dk), it's all about execution. "A beautiful piece of art is one that's done with skill, grace and sensitivity," he says. The content isn't that important when the aesthetics rule."
"I think the most essential requirement for an artwork to look beautiful is that it be well balanced," says Murilo Maciel (grafikdust.com), a Brazilian artist based in Vancouver, Canada. "That means good composition and colour combinations." His photomontages have appeared in adverts for Coca-Cola and Safeway, among others.
Ana Montiel's Spring Layers is part of an overarching collection of work which she calls Visual Mantras
"It's also essential that the artwork be well finished. It's a shame when you see something that looks nice at first but when you look closer, the textures are blurred, for example. Paying extra attention to detail usually makes something more beautiful."
Raphaël Vicenzi, a Belgian illustrator who works under the creative handle mydeadpony (mydeadpony.com), says balance is all-important. He has made his name with artfully roughed-up designs featuring elegantly wasted women: in his oeuvre, well-worn cliché is punctured by gritty style.
"I don't know if my artworks are graceful; I try to balance the feminine side of my works with rougher ideas, edges and colours," he says. "It's a balance I try to achieve constantly. I try to listen to my own sense of beauty, as imperfect as it is, and find inner rules."
A Patient Love by mydeadpony
Raphaël adds that his composition is instinctive: "There is a symmetry within most of my works, but it's not something I can describe. It's more like I try things out until a balance is reached by itself.
"It's when I don't listen to that inner voice that things go wrong."
Artistic heritage
For Ana Montiel (anamontiel.com), composition is also instinctive while being informed by centuries of artistic heritage.

Some winners are more surprised than others, but Daniela Ward just had a feeling it might be her lucky day! "I knew there was a big ticket coming. I scanned it at the store and it said, 'file a $750,000 claim.' And then I screamed," Ward recalled with a healthy laugh.
Ward said she'd gone into work this past Saturday (Aug. 23) and decided she would try her luck again with a $10 Bonus Crossword game. "With what I do (for work), I'm on the phone a lot. There's waiting, so I love these Scratchers that are time consuming because they keep me busy," Ward explained.
However, Ward said she didn't scratch her winner at work this time. "I stopped at (a convenience store) to ask my family if they wanted anything while I scratched, and Kaboom – 10 words! I've been playing for seven years. I couldn't believe it."
Ward had to keep busy and stay calm the rest of the weekend, because she couldn't claim her fortune until Monday when the Lottery's Santa Ana District Office was open. "The rest of Saturday went pretty fast and then all of Sunday, I just kept saying to myself, 'I've got $750,000!'"
The 28-year-old Irvine mom said the most she'd ever won on a Scratchers game was about $500. Needless to say, she more than earned back her $10 investment over the weekend! She bought her winning ticket at Starshine Mobil, which is located at 17551 MacArthur Blvd. in Irvine.
Ward said the Crossword win is; pardon the pun, "the missing piece of the puzzle to my life." So what does one do with $750,000 in newfound money? "I've always wanted a house. It was the missing piece. I'm going to handle my debt and put down a down payment, and then just enjoy my family and my new home!"

Army Staff Sgt. Ryan Jordan and Marine Master Sgt. Craig Blenis testified on the sixth day of a pretrial hearing for Pfc. Bradley Manning at Fort Meade, near Baltimore. The hearing is to determine whether Manning's nine months in pretrial confinement at the Marine Corps brig in Quantico, Virginia, were so punishing that the judge should dismiss all charges. The 24-year-old intelligence analyst is accused of sending hundreds of thousands of classified documents to the secret-spilling website in 2009 and 2010 when he was stationed in Baghdad.
The counselors, both of whom worked in the brig, sat on a board that recommended to the brig commander that Manning remain in maximum custody and on either injury-prevention or suicide-risk status - conditions that kept him confined to his cell 23 hours a day, sometimes with no clothing.
Jordan said under cross-examination by defense attorney David Coombs that besides the mental-health report, he considered evidence that Manning had contemplated suicide six to eight months earlier after his arrest in Iraq. The evidence included a noose Manning had fashioned from a bedsheet while confined in Kuwait, and a written statement he made upon arrival at Quantico in July 2010 that he was "always planning and never acting" on suicidal impulses.
Jordan acknowledged Manning had been a polite, courteous and nearly trouble-free detainee at Quantico.
"Wouldn't his past six months of performance be an indicator of his potential for future behavior?" Coombs asked. But Jordan maintained that Manning's unwillingness to converse with him and other brig staff was a warning sign he was at risk of self-harm.
Jordan said he considered the opinion of the brig psychiatrist, Navy Capt. William Hocter, that Manning was no longer at risk of self-harm. But Jordan said the weight he gave to Hocter's views was diminished because another detainee had recently killed himself after his custody status was reduced on Hocter's advice.
"I would consider it, but I would always consider it with care, sir," he told Coombs.
Blenis, who spent more time with Manning, said Manning chose not to speak most of the time except for short, yes-or-no answers. He said Manning spurned his offers to play chess or work brain teasers by arrogantly responding, "They're a little below my level."
"I've got a person not communicating with me that's sitting in his cell, not doing anything," Blenis said.
He said he supported the brig commander's decision in March 2011 to strip Manning of all clothing at night and place him on suicide watch after Manning told another staffer that if he really wanted to kill himself, he could use the elastic waistband on his underwear.
"If someone tells me they're going to shoot themselves in the face, I'm not going to give them a gun," Blenis said.
Manning was moved in April 2011 to pretrial confinement at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. He's been held there in medium custody since then.
Earlier Sunday, the military judge said Manning's trial, previously set to begin February 4, would be pushed back to sometime in March due to lengthy pretrial proceedings.
The hearing on Manning's confinement was to recess Sunday and resume Wednesday.
Manning is charged with 22 offenses, including aiding the enemy and violating federal espionage and computer security laws. He could get life in prison.
He is accused of sending to WikiLeaks more than 250,000 diplomatic cables, classified memos, Iraq and Afghanistan war logs, Guantanamo Bay prison records and a 2007 video clip of a US helicopter crew gunning down 11 men in Iraq. It was later determined that one of those men was a news photographer. The Pentagon said its troops mistook camera equipment for weapons.
The case has spawned an international support network of people who believe the US government has gone too far in seeking to punish Manning, who was a low-level intelligence analyst in Baghdad.

MINOXIDIL (Loniten), a piperidino-pyrimidine derivative (Fig. 1), is an unusually potent vasodilator of unique value in treating patients with severe hypertension. After 11 years of clinical investigations, it was approved by the Food and Drug Administration in October 1979 for treatment of patients who cannot tolerate or respond to a conventional three-drug antihypertensive regimen. Initially, trials were limited to such patients because of experiments that showed a right atrial hemorrhagic lesion in dogs, which proved to be specific to this species. Trials of efficacy and safety are currently under way in less severely hypertensive patients but have not as yet ...

Paris is well into full blown Fall.
Full of falling leaves
Which reminded me of these master drawings.
In Jardin Luxembourg joggers race neck and neck with harried Paris moms as the leaves keep falling. I'm racing to catch that Eurostar to London.
My kingdom for those Fauchon jars of rabbit. Not just one flavor but TWO!!!! I need them for my garden - instead of a scarecrow! Only in France do they understand the true place of les lapins!ReplyDelete
Ah la feuille d'Automne de chez Lenotre! Je la connais PAR COEUR! Mon gateau preferé de chez eux....ReplyDelete

I never thought to actually taste Lenotre's chocolate feuille...
Will do and report back.
It's dangerously close to my place too

Landowners Seek Doe Hunters
The North Dakota Game and Fish Department is currently working with 21 landowners in 17 hunting units across the state who would like to host antlerless deer hunters in 2012. The current list of landowners has 230 openings for doe hunters.
Participating landowners are located in hunting units 2C, 2D, 2G2, 2I, 2J2, 2K2, 3A4, 3B3, 3C, 3D2, 3E1, 3E2, 3F1, 3F2, 4B, 4D and 4E.
The program is not intended for buck hunters, but designed to direct hunters with antlerless licenses to specific areas to reduce deer populations.
Interested hunters can get their name on a list of possible participants by accessing the Game and Fish Department's website at gf.nd.gov. Hunters who do not have Internet access can call the department's main office in Bismarck at (701) 328-6300.
Hunters will provide their address, hunting unit(s) where they hold valid antlerless licenses, and if using rifle, muzzleloader or bow. From this list the department will select the number of hunters landowners have agreed to host. These hunters will be sent the landowner's name, phone number and any information relating to the landowner's specific situation.
Not everyone who signs up will end up with a new place to hunt, because not everyone's schedule will match up with a landowner's, and more people will likely put their name on the list than there are openings.
North Dakota's 2012 regular deer gun season runs from Nov. 9-25. In addition, the archery season extends from Aug. 31 through Jan. 6, 2013; the youth season is from Sept. 14-23; and muzzleloader runs from Nov. 30 – Dec. 16.

Hey guys
New user here, and I apologise in advance for the length of this and that I may sound a touch selfish at times
To give you the background I am a 37 year old (just a week and half ago) male who is married and has been for 2 years, we have been together for 6 and half.
The thing is I am so desperate to be a dad one day, I think this is driven by the hatred I have for my biological dad who I disowned a good 15 years ago(and should have done when he cheated on my mum in late 80's to be honest) I won't disclose why but it makes me so badly want to raise my own child/children and not let them down like he let me down - this is literally everything to me (that sounds bad doesn't it?!)
However my wife and I did have plans with 2 or 3 years of getting married to have a child but she has decided she wishes to pursue a career in health which means her taking a university degree (which all being well she will start in sep 17), its a 2 year degree so I've already come to terms with the fact I have at least another 4 or 5 year wait now (ie by time she does her college/uni then qualifies and is in her job a year or so) by then I will be 41 or 42 (she is 5 years younger than me) - I couldn't be more happier for her in that respect as know how much it means to her.
To say I am having horrendous mood swings about this is an understatement, sometimes I feel totally fine and look at the bigger picture, others I just feel despair coz I'm giving up on ever being a dad, this causes me to feel proper jealous of friends I know with children (this can stem from just seeing family pics of my wifes best friend with her husband and their 2 kids or others I know with children on facebook) and I feel truly terrible about that. these mood swings just make me feel like either stuffing my face or getting drunk when I feel real down about it (or having thoughts about worse)
I cant really talk to my wife about this as it causes arguments (she actually walked out on me for 1 night the other week to stay at her mum and dads because of it) our sex life is non existent at present because we only allow ourselves to try when she is on her TOTM (and at times that's impossible because shes often on nights with her job at that time), other times are out of the question as we have talked about contraceptive methods but she is reluctant to get the pill or implant back in (because of weight gains, we have both lost 5 stone plus since last year) and I have in past had issues with not getting on with condoms (though am desperate to retry that as an option following the loss of weight)
So am posting on here as isn't really anyone I feel I can talk to about this, am wondering if anyone has been in similar situation as to how they have dealt with it, or whether I am just a selfish sod for feeling this way (I wont be offended if anyone thinks that)
I could post a little more but think I will leave it there
Cheers for listening guys

Remember how Corey Lynn Calter's last lookbook made us swoon? Between the fancy frocks, cheeky illustrations, and Nora Zehetner's doe-eyed gaze, there was no shortage of oohs and aahs. That admiration extended right down to the featured footwear: We fell head over heels for the colorful kicks, but had no clue how to snag a pair for ourselves. As if the shoe gods heard our prayers (or have impeccable timing, it is the spring equinox after all!), we discovered that these candy-hued steppers are up for grabs on Calter's site. (What's that? Oh, just the sound of many toes tapping with delight!)
These vintage-inspired espadrilles and sandals are made by Seychelles, so you can rest easy that the price points are cool change — nothing over $130. Each pair is incredibly playful yet wildly practical for your springtime dance card. Plus, considering that these step in line (last pun of the day, we promise!) with CLC's Vivian Girls collection, we wouldn't expect anything less than footwear filled with whimsy and charm.

Lab tech charged in New Hampshire hepatitis C outbreak
CONCORD, N.H. – Authorities in at least six states are investigating whether a traveling hospital technician accused of infecting 30 people with hepatitis C in New Hampshire also exposed earlier patients to the liver-destroying disease.
David Kwiatkowski, a former technician at Exeter Hospital, was arrested Thursday morning at a Massachusetts hospital where he was receiving treatment. Once he is well enough to be released, he will be transferred to New Hampshire to face federal drug charges, said U.S. Attorney John Kacavas, who called Kwiatkowski, 33, a "serial infector" who worked in at least half a dozen states.
Authorities believe Kwiatkowski stole drugs from a hospital operating room in another state, but they declined to name any of the other states, saying only that they are not clustered in one part of the country. They would not say in what hospital Kwiatkowski was being treated at so he couldn't be contacted for comment.
"We are closer to the beginning of our investigation than the end," Kacavas said.
Investigators believe Kwiatkowski, 33, stole syringes containing fentanyl, a powerful anesthetic more potent than morphine, and injected himself with them. They said he then put another liquid, such as saline, into the syringes, which were later used for patients. They said a search of his vehicle found an empty fentanyl syringe and several needles.
Originally from Michigan, Kwiatkowski worked at Exeter's cardiac catheterization lab from April 2011 through this past May, when he was fired. He told investigators that he learned he had hepatitis C in May, but Kacavas said there is evidence Kwiatkowski had the liver-destroying disease since at least at least June 2010.
"This serial infector has been contained, and the menace he posed to public health and safety has been removed," Kacavas said.
Though state and local health departments aren't required to report such outbreaks to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in a report released in June, the agency said it was notified of 13 outbreaks nationwide between 2008 and 2011. Of those, seven occurred in outpatient facilities; most were traced to unsafe injection practices.
At least two have resulted in criminal charges, however, including a Colorado woman who was convicted of stealing syringes filled with painkillers from two hospitals where she worked and replacing them with used syringes. The syringes were later used on surgical patients, and up to three dozen patients were found to have hepatitis C after being exposed.
Kacavas said New Hampshire is working with the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, law enforcement and departments of public health in other states where Kwiatkowski worked.
"I'm unaware of such a scheme with such reach," he said. "This one has the potential for very far reaching implications."
According to an affidavit, Kwiatkowski was observed at times leaving the lab sweating profusely and attending procedures on his off days. One witness said he appeared to be "on something." At least once, he was sent home for the day after a colleague told a supervisor that he was unfit to perform medical care, Kacavas said.
Kwiatkowski was what is known as a "traveler," a technician hired by hospitals for temporary stints around the country. In a statement, Exeter Hospital said he underwent drug testing and a criminal background check when he was hired.
"It is deeply disturbing that the alleged callous acts of one individual can have such an impact on so many innocent lives. As a result of his alleged actions, people in our community, who in many cases are the friends and neighbors of the 2,300 people who work here, now face the challenge of a potentially chronic disease," said Kevin Callahan, president and CEO of Exeter Hospital.
The hospital declined to comment further about Kwiatkowski, citing the ongoing investigation.
Hepatitis C is a blood-borne viral infection that can cause liver disease and chronic health issues. Altogether, 31 people, including Kwiatkowski, have tested positive for the same strain of the disease since the investigation began in late May.

Going Bold With Blue
So I will let you in on a little secret of mine: I am afraid of cobalt blue. I love the color but never use it in my own home for fear it will make my space too dark. However if used correctly, the high impact color can make any space stunning!
I think it is about time to set my fears aside and go bold with blue. The following photos depict the vibrant color at its best. Here are few tips to consider if you're ready for blue too.
1. Try the confident color in moderation. Add it to accessories like dinnerware or lighting fixtures.
2. Consider mixing shades of blue together. This technique softens the color and adds interest.
3. If you do decide to go all the way and paint your walls cobalt, make sure some element of the room is left neutral. I love adding light trim to dark paint colors. You could also contrast the blue walls with white furniture and artwork.

Land of Escaping Thoughts
The brazil-swiss artist Orlando Geremia Schüpbach stops at Brasilea Foundation, to transform an entire floor into an authentic favela. It fits perfectly into the concept of the young institution in Basel's port.
Brasilianische Kunst auf Papier – Die aktuelle Ausstellung bei uns im Haus
The Brasilea Foundation presents in collaboration with the Choque Cultural Gallery Streetart and Graffiti from São Paulo, Brazil.
At first sight RONALDO GROSSMAN's paintings could take us back to concrete art and, through its merely apparent effects, to a certain lineage of op art.
Alex Flemmings Acrylgemälde auf Leinwand gehen auf seine eigenen Fotos der Porträtierten zurück, wobei mehrere Personen im gemalten Bild auf Einzelaufnahmen beruhen können.

Auszug aus dem Ausstellungstext von Michael Nungesser Zur Ausstellung erscheint ein Katalog.
For the first time the Brasilea Foundation will show a retrospective of the very well known brazilian artist Carlos Bracher. After exhibitions in Moscow, Bruges, Luxembourg, Düsseldorf and Frankfurt it's at the same time the very first one in the countrey of his ancestors.

Maria-Carmen Perlingeiro ESCULTURAS
The concept of the presented exhibition Brazilian coevals is based on a contrasting juxtaposition of two art collections. Firstly, the original one, which was purchased by the founder Walter Wüthrich and contains a selection of his personal collectibles as in particular the paintings of Franz Josef Widmar. Secondly, a compilation of contemporary art, that could be acquired within the last decade.
IMAGO ... on the apparent and the hidden Boris Kossoy - 50 years of photography
From 21 January until 3 March, the Brasilea Foundation will be presenting works by the Brazilian artist Claudia Jaguaribe. Born in Rio de Janeiro and resident in São Paulo since the 1990s, her works have been shaped by the influences of the urban metropolises on the rural environment. Heavily influenced by the current socio-political issues of our era, the dichotomy between urbanity and nature is reflected in her works.
The exhibition "Bale brut et les Jeux Olympiques" is a joint project of the Brasilea Foundation and the Creative Workshop Bürgerspital Basel which takes place on the occasion of the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. Artists from the Creative Workshop in Basel will present drawings, paintings, objects and sculptures that have emerged from their month-long intensive focus on Brazil. The supervised work in the Creative Workshop offers artists the opportunity to develop their artistic language continuously and enables them to realize their potentials freely and without interference according to their individual talents. Their genuine creations give an imaginative impulse in the context of contemporary art.
Die Stiftung Brasilea zeigt in Kooperation mit dem Brasilianischen Generalkonsulat und dem Museu Internacional de Arte Naïf anlässlich der Olympischen Spiele 2016 in Rio de Janeiro die Ausstellung mit Naiven brasilianischen Künstlern zum Thema Sport.
We are delighted to inform you about the first traveling exhibition of Brasilea. The exhibition IMAGO by Boris Kossoy is shown from 12 to 27.05.2016 in the Palazzo Pamphili. Gallery Candido Portinari | Piazza Navona 10 | Rome.
This exhibition of Saint Clair Cemin offers a panorama of works, original and multiple sculptures from 1995 to 2012 as well as some drawings that will allow the public to travel with this limitless artist.
On 22 September 2016, the Brasilea Foundation opens the exhibition of the Brazilian artist "Armarinhos Teixeira" who was born and raised in São Paulo. His art is deeply rooted and characterized by this huge metropolis; He is a true child of his everyday surroundings amid the construction industry and he uses raw materials from industrial production, such as nylon, leather cords, steel cords and polyester.
The Brasilea Foundation exhibits works by the Brazilian artist Christina Oiticica from 26 January to 16 March 2017. Christina Oiticica is known worldwide for her eco art works. Canvases painted with acrylic paints find their completion not until they have been exposed to nature. Most of the works remain left to natural forces for a specific while, often dug in and dug out by the artist herself with bare hands. The result is always a surprise. To take the work back from nature again is always a happening and associated with great emotions for Christina Oiticica.
Arjan Martins - O Estrangeiro
Born in Rio de Janeiro in 1980, Marcelo Jácome is an urban artist characterized by an urban childhood.
Cybèle Varela: Tropicalismo Remixed is the first retrospective in Europe to be devoted to Brazilian artist Cybèle Varela (b. 1943, Petrópolis), one of the key figures of the Brazilian Pop Art and Tropicalismo movements.

RefPolish security researchers have come up with a cunning method to transmit hidden messages using the silence packets transmitted during a Skype call.
The VoIP service transmits voice data in 130-byte packets, and silences in 70-byte packets, a difference that creates a potential means to conceal a hidden encrypted message in the latter.

With gold and silver capitulating and Treasury yield rising, oil will have to balance the bearish implications of the Fed talking about an exit strategy versus the disinflation that is now plaguing Europe. Chicago Federal Reserve President Charles Evans said that monetary policy is right now, but suggested that the Fed could end bond buying by the fall. Yet in the short term the oil rally inspired by a Fed juiced stock-market and a rash of refining outages that has made sweet crude seem more valuable, and the sense that the trends in gold and silver have run their course might suggest that oil is closer to the top of the recent run-up.
Of course from a seasonal view point, we really should be near a top anyway. With Memorial Day just a few days away the new normal summer peak for oil should be near. Refining and pipeline issues have conspired to drive up product prices. Refinery outages should lead to another crude oil build putting supplied at a record high! But what may have more impact on the market than tonight's American Petroleum Institute report and the Energy Information Administration report on Wednesday is Fed Chairman's Ben Bernanke testimony later on Wednesday.
Yet gas prices continue to rise, but should be peaking soon. We know that demand is weakening. We have said that we are entering a new era of lower gas prices and we said that the highs you paid for gasoline a year ago may be the highest price you will ever pay. The Department Of Transportation reports on one of the reasons and that is the end of an era of ever growing gasoline consumption. The DOT reports that in the U.S., travel on all roads and streets fell by -1.5% or a whopping 3.7 billion vehicle miles less for March 2013 as compared with March 2012. Travel for the month is estimated to be 248.8 billion vehicle miles. That is well over 10 billion fewer miles than where we were a few years ago. The DOT says that the U.S. driving boom is "OVER" as the average number of miles driven by Americans heads into its eighth year of decline, and they said that U.S. PIRG Education Fund finds that the slowdown in driving is likely to continue.
Baby Boomers are moving out of the phase in their life when they do the most commuting, while driving-averse "Millennials" move into that phase. These demographic changes and other factors will likely keep driving down for decades, according to the report, "A New Direction: Our Changing Relationship with Driving and the Implications for America's Future."
They say that "miles driven per capita peaked in 2004; the total number of miles driven by Americans peaked in 2007. The average American currently drives no more miles than at the end of President Clinton's first term.

Numbers Game
A decade of dominance
Huw Richards
October 23, 2012

So well established is the autumn international programme in rugby's contemporary calendar that it comes as a shock to recall that, like the Heineken Cup, it is less than 20 years old and a product of the game's professional era.
The forces that got all of the southern hemisphere's giants visiting most years were those which dominated the somewhat panicky years of the new settlement - a desperate search for new income with which to fund vastly increased costs. Only an extended international programme could be counted upon to do that.
So it is that when autumn matches resume this month after their World Cup year sabbatical in 2011, fans in Europe will be able to see not only the Boks, All Blacks and Wallabies, but the Pumas, Fiji and Samoa.
The extent of the transformation can be seen by comparing international records pre and post 1995. When Ireland entertain South Africa at the Aviva Stadium on November 10, it will be the 119th clash between one of the former Five Nations and one of the three traditional southern giants since 1995, an average of seven matches per year over 17 years.
The 90 years between the pioneering All Blacks and the change of 1995 saw 148 matches, an average of 1.64 per year, or less than a quarter of the rate of more recent teams. Take out the years lost to war, and the average still comes out at less than two.
What has not changed is a pattern of southern dominance. We get reminded of it much more frequently when all three visit most years, compared to the pattern of one each per decade that held until the 1970s, but there's not a massive difference between pre and post 1995 results. The southern trio won 93 and lost 47, with 8 draws of the pre-professional matches. They've done a little better since 1995, winning 81 to 32 with five draws, but there is only a five per cent difference - 70.76% against 65.54 - in their winning percentage. Those five draws, three involving Australia and two New Zealand, are a genuine oddity given that the drawn game has become such a rarity in modern rugby.
As so often with historical statistics, the breathtaking element is the dominance of the All Blacks. Over the entire period, their winning record as an away team against the Five Nations has been 82.96%. They have played 91 matches and won 73, with only 13 defeats. So great a collector's item is an All Black defeat that well-informed fans of the winning teams can usually reel off the years - 1905, 1935 and 1953 for Wales, 1936, 1983, 1993 and 2002 for England.
On November 9 they will complete a decade since they lost away to any of the Five Nations (the loss against France in the 2007 World Cup was on neutral ground, in Wales).
That is also long enough for most of us to have forgotten that this most recent loss was against an immensely strong England squad missing only one man - Josh Lewsey - of the 15 who started the World Cup final a year later, while All Black coach John Mitchell had chosen to bring an experimental squad and handed debuts to seven players, of whom only Andrew Hore and Ali Williams were to have long international careers. Even then they scored four tries to three and led by 12 points before a late England revival.
South Africa has been the second most successful visitor, while playing fewer matches because there were none between 1974 and 1992. They have won 53 and lost 23 of their 80 matches for a 68.75% success record. Australia brings up the rear with 52.63%, 48 wins to 43 defeats in 95 matches.
What has changed between the pre and post 1995 eras is the relative fortunes of the teams. New Zealand had the best record to 1995, but not by much - 79.09% to South Africa's 76.31, which included a 23-match unbeaten run between losses to Scotland in 1906 and Ireland in 1965, while Australia lost more matches than they won for a 44.55% record.
New Zealand's professional record is little sort of stupefying, only three defeats - England in 2002, France in 1995 and 2000 - in 36 matches, of which 31 have been won and two drawn, a success rate of 88.89%. Australia has done much better, and its 63.75% from 40 matches just edges out the Springboks' 63.41% from 42, of which 26 have been won.
Among the battered hosts, England and France have the best records, both just over 40%. England have a marginal edge, but will lose it - albeit with a chance to leapfrog back a week later - should France beat Australia on November 10.
France, with 12 wins in 21 matches, have the best record against Australia and their six wins in 23 is comfortably the best against New Zealand. England, with eight wins and a draw in 18 matches, have been far by the Springboks' most troublesome adversary.

Scotland was little behind France and England pre-1995, but has struggled since, winning only three out of 21 matches to drop its all-time percentage to 27.08%. Ireland had by far the worst pre-1995 record but has done much better since, including a 50% record against the Springboks to raise its overall record to 24.41%.
That leaves Wales, most unusually for an all-time Five Nations table, in last place on 24.07%, weighed down by an abysmal record against South Africa - with only a single victory, in a half-completed Millennium Stadium in 1998, in 16 meetings. Three wins and a draw from 26 matches mean they edge out Scotland as the most accommodating hosts of the professional era.
England's record of 43.33% since 1995 conceals the one period in which a European team has truly dominated Southern visitors. Their record as host during Clive Woodward's period as coach (1997 to 2004, when his resignation coming ahead of the autumn matches in 2004) was P14 W8 D2 L4, a success rate of 64.29%. Their record otherwise in professional times has been a slightly less impressive four wins from 16 matches, or 25%.
Three wins from nine meetings this autumn would hold up Europe's rather unimpressive historic average, and indeed slightly improve the professional record. Both history and current form suggest those defeats are likelier to be inflicted on Australia or South Africa.
Any All Black defeat, particularly if they go down for the first time ever to Scotland or the first in 59 years to Wales, would go straight into rugby history. On average they go down roughly once every eight and a quarter years - 13 times in 107 years. But looked at another way, they're due, given the decade that has elapsed since they went down at Twickenham in November 2002.

Madara questions Mū about the user of the technique which brought them back to life. Kabuto takes full control of Mū to talk directly with Madara, explaining he brought him back in a special manner that makes him stronger than his prime. Gaara attacks Madara but he dodges his sand and moves to counter-attack using a widespread Fire Release, which is countered by many Alliance shinobi using a water wall. Moving in to general melee he wreaks havoc on the Alliance forces until Ōnoki raises the ground below him to capture him against Naruto's Rasengan. Madara defends himself with Susanoo. As Naruto prepares to go into Sage Mode, Ōnoki lightens Gaara's sand allowing him to pull Madara out of his Susanoo just in time to be hit by Naruto's Rasenshuriken. Madara activates the Rinnegan and absorbs the Rasenshuriken, and Kabuto rejoices that his suspicions about the evolutionary chain of the Sharingan were correct. Madara replies that this power is not of Kabuto's creation, and using his Susanoo to weave hand-seals, draws a meteorite towards the battlefield.

By Mikko Salo: Pure stroke of business genius. That is what promoter Frank Warren pulled off last week. David Haye vs Dereck Chisora has everything. It gives us the biggest moneymaker of a fight that doesn`t have the names Mayweather, Pacquiao or Klitschko attached to it. It is a genuine grudge match, where the spectator can sense that there truly is a lot more at stake then the piles of pounds involved. There are also several other storylines that make the build-up to this blockbuster compelling and underline the business genius behind it.
1. Timing
The announcing of Haye vs Chisora couldn`t have been done at a more clever time. Right when the dust was settling after Mayweather vs Cotto and right before the boxing media and fans start to turn their attention to Pacquiao vs Bradley, Warren drops the bomb on us, gets the British Boxing Board of Control to go nuts and the fans interested in the heavyweight landscape.
The real timing gem comes with the date of the fight itself. Let me see, Haye vs Chisora is scheduled a week after… Klitschko vs Thompson II!! Talk about stealing someone`s thunder! No wonder the Klitschkos are fuming, I would be, too. After Pacquiao vs Bradley has taken place on 9th June, what might be the fight the boxing media and fans turn their attention to. Would it be Klitschko vs Thompson II or Haye vs Chisora? The answer is easy.
It is actually pretty amusing how Klitschko manager Bernd Boente has changed his mind about Haye vs Chisora. On 18th February, after Dereck Chisora had slapped Vitali Klitschko at the weigh-in, spat in the face of Wladimir Klitschko before the fight, lost by unanimous decision to Vitali and brawled with David Haye at the post-fight press conference, Klitschko manager Bernd Boente had this to say: "The brawl tonight calls for a box-off between Haye and Chisora, and the winner fights one of the Klitschkos. [That fight] would make a lot of money in the UK."
For some strange reason, Boente sounded very different after hearing that Warren is staging Haye vs Chisora one week after Klitschko vs Thompson II. "They both lost to the Klitschkos. They are on the second level. We could not care less." I think Boente cares. A lot. And he is not happy.
2. BoxNation Gets Exposure as the Promoter
Frank Warren`s BoxNation TV channel is actually the official main promoter of Haye vs Chisora. Currently BoxNation can only be viewed in the UK and Ireland through Sky, Virgin and livesport.tv. Haye vs Chisora will be BoxNation`s biggest draw and the channel will most likely get a load of new subscribers just because of this fight. The fight might also give the channel enough exposure outside of UK that a launch of a worldwide online TV service could be a step closer.
3. The Economic Power of Controversy
Both David Haye and Dereck Chisora are very good fighters. Haye is a former Cruiserweight Champion and heavyweight beltholder. Chisora is a former British & Commonwealth titlist. At his best Haye was rated as high as the #2 heavyweight contender by The Ring.
But as of now, neither Haye nor Chisora don`t have great drawing power on their own. In their most recent fights, Haye lost in uninspiring fashion to Wladimir Klitschko, Chisora suffered a dubious decision loss to one-armed #5 contender Robert Helenius and a clear-cut decision loss to one-armed Vitali Klitschko. You could say that Haye`s and Chisora`s boxing careers have hit some rough spots lately. But all you need is one press conference brawl and suddenly the two fighters together became a megafight-in-waiting.
Haye and Chisora are both fighters who generate a lot of opinions. Whatever you think of them, one thing is certain. They are by far the most colorful characters in heavyweight boxing today. Nobody comes even close. The Klitschko Brothers are The Undisputed Heavyweight Champions, genuine all-time greats with enormous drawing power as they should be with their first-ballot hall of fame credentials. But when you want intrigue and authentic distaste between two opponents, real electricity in the air on fight night, nothing beats Haye vs Chisora in the heavyweights in this day and age. We are in for a wild ride before 14th July.
4. Sauerland Finds a Place for Povetkin vs Rahman
The German promotional powerhouse is searching for answers on how to get a bigger piece of the heavyweight revenue pie, devoured by the Klitschkos at the moment. Sauerland is currently in a pretty good position, controlling #2 contender Alexander Povetkin, fast-rising #4 contender Kubrat Pulev, who recently scored the biggest win of his career with a TKO 11 over Alexander Dimitrenko and #5 contender Robert Helenius, who is rehabbing a shoulder injury suffered before the December 2011 bout against Dereck Chisora.
Sauerland`s problem with Povetkin is that their premium heavyweight is utterly unmarketable and without any hint of charisma. In last December the Russian played second fiddle to Robert Helenius in Helsinki and in February he survived by a majority decision over cruiserweight #1 contender Marco Huck in a fight where Huck clearly was the main attraction for the German public.
Everybody knows that Povetkin has been ducking the Klitschkos for some years now, and he simply is not able to draw crowds as the main headliner himself. Now Povetkin is lined up in a laughable match-up to fight a washed-up former Lineal Heavyweight Champion Hasim Rahman. Although Rahman is the last American to hold the true Heavyweight Crown (11 years ago, that is), there aren`t many souls outside of Povetkin`s and Rahman`s immediate family who regard this fight in any way interesting.
Sauerland was having a major problem with Povetkin vs Rahman, because they had to figure out which undercard they would put the dreadful match-up. The problem doesn`t exist anymore. The undercard of Haye vs Chisora is perfect for the Germans. They pitch in, get exposure to their fighter(s) and get in on the action of disrupting the Klitschkos` businesses.
5. Alphabets Can`t Cash In
Fans hate professional boxing`s alphabet organizations. To the casual observer they are basically corrupt businesses that pretend to be sport federations.
Haye vs Chisora does have some kind of alphabet inter-whatever belt at stake, but absolutely nobody cares and that is the way it should be in boxing anyway. This fight is about two guys hating each others´ guts, wanting to settle matters in the ring and make boatloads of money doing it. If the reports of about 20,000 sold tickets are correct, the people have spoken. The fans love a good old grudge match. And on a side note they love the fact that next-to-nothing of the revenue goes to the alphabets.
British Boxing Board of Control is of course outraged because someone is staging a blockbuster fight event between two British boxers on UK soil without the BBBoC getting any piece of the pile of pounds. Therefore it is understandable from them to revert to threatening everyone involved with all kinds of banishments. I hope they know what they are doing because the fans´ wrath will be horrible if Haye vs Chisora somehow caves in because of the actions taken by BBBoC.

No. It is just the way they do it.
