The cost of Private Insurance in Mexico varies, of course, depending upon your age, deductible and company and can range from $800 to $2000 U.S. (or more) per person (certain restrictions may apply). There are any number of companies offering a variety of options depending on what you want and how much you are willing to pay. Price depends on age, the "class" of hospital you choose, deductible/co-insurance levels and maximum policy level. You can select from the small (but good) hospitals with company-selected doctors to the "glitzy" new hospitals with the top doctors/specialists (more expensive).
Many people will take Private insurance more as Emergency coverage, like an illness that is diagnosed by your doctor and requires hospitalization and treatment instead of a comprehensive and more expensive policy to cover annual check-ups etc. Because the local doctor visits are relatively inexpensive, it may be advisable to simply pay as you go for day to day issues (colds, minor upsets, etc.) or many pre-existing conditions. A Discount Program is offered by Maskaras Clinic that can cover these day to day issues.
Some of the insurance companies may have agreements with the hospitals and will pay directly. Others work on a reimbursement basis – you pay, then submit a claim to your insurer and they reimburse you. We have researched many private health care possibilities and although found some that were good, many of our clients could not qualify for acceptance because of pre-existing conditions, or the cost was prohibitive. Then finally we found Best Doctors Insurance.

Directing the resuscitation of a child is more than just being able to intubate or start an IV. The Pediatric Residency Program curriculum gives residents the opportunity to participate in actual and mock resuscitations in many settings, including the CHOP and HUP NI/ICUs, the PICU, and the ED.
Residents are active members of the hospital-wide Code Blue Team, and play important roles in these settings. Additionally, through participation in mock resuscitations in a variety of settings, residents have the opportunity to learn to lead in critical situations.
The Residency Program and many clinical teams partner with the CHOP Center for Simulation, Advanced Education and Innovation to present a comprehensive curriculum related to critical situations. In keeping with the Center's philosophy, the vast majority of this education is done in situ where teams are actively engaged in providing care to patients.
The chief residents coordinate a curriculum of floor-based mock resuscitations where common inpatient critical scenarios are presented. These are conducted with pediatric resident teams while on inpatient rotations. Resident participation is tracked so that each resident is sure to participate in a variety of different resuscitation scenarios. Senior residents lead care provided by interdisciplinary teams.
Senior residents lead interdisciplinary teams in mock resuscitation scenarios presented by faculty and fellows from the Division of Emergency Medicine and facilitators from the Simulation Center. Simulation-based scenarios are also presented by the Division of Neonatology in the CHOP and HUP NICUs as well as by the division of Critical Care Medicine of the Department of Anesthesiology and Critical Care in the PICU on a regular basis.

Tatnall's Walker - WDEL Female HS Athlete of the Week
By Sean Greene
VIDEO: Profile of Natalie Walker
Tatnall field hockey player Natalie Walker is this week's WDEL Female High School Athlete of the Week.
Natalie scored two goals in the Hornets' 3-1 victory over St. Mark's last week.
While it was a big win for a Tatnall program that already has more wins (7) than they had in 2010 (6), Natalie says they're taking things a game at a time.
"We need to play every game like it's the most important, and the next one's most important. We worked so hard, and everyone worked really well together."
Another key to the Hornets turnaround are stronger bond with her teammates according to Natalie.
"We've all meshed together, we're basically a family. We work really well together. I think because our relationships are so good off the field, it makes us good on the field."
For Natalie's favorite athlete, she looks no further than her coach, Jackie Ciconte, who was Delaware's 2002 Female High School Athlete of the Year while playing at Tatnall, and an All-American at Maryland.
"She's such an inspiration for all of us. She's been through what we've been through. She's so relatable, she's amazing."
Natalie's main goal is to just get improve on the field, which she says is a day-to-day process.
"At practice when we do circle drills I always beat up on myself whenever I mess up on the side. But every day I keep improving."

Helft asks him: "Is it Siri? Is it Amazon or commercial queries?"
Page tries to dodge the question, saying: "I don't really think about it that way."
Helf presses: "Because you don't think about competition?"
And then Page drops this doozy, which is pretty inspirational for people in the tech industry:
"Obviously we think about competition to some extent."
"But I feel my job is mostly getting people not to think about our competition. In general I think there's a tendency for people to think about the things that exist. Our job is to think of the thing you haven't thought of yet that you really need. And by definition, if our competitors knew that thing, they wouldn't tell it to us or anybody else. I think just our strengths, our weaknesses, our opportunities are different than any other company."
(Of course the truth is that lots of Googlers do think about the competition, and when they do, it's mostly about Amazon lately. The reason: Google makes its money from commercial web searches, and increasingly people are just going straight to Amazon.com for that.)

Professor of Clinical Medicine, Department of Medicine (General Internal Medicine)
Dr. Sharon Parish, a practicing primary care internist at Montefiore, has developed an array of curricula addressing fundamental areas in psychosocial medicine, such as interviewing and empathy skills, psychiatric diagnosis and management, and patient education and compliance, as well as specialized areas such as motivational interviewing, substance abuse disorders, and women's mental health. Her expertise in teaching about substance abuse has been recognized by the Hazelden Foundation, a nationally known alcohol and substance abuse treatment and professional training institution where she frequently lectures, facilitates interviewing skills sessions, and conducts faculty development workshops.
Along with Drs. Julia Arnsten and Melissa Stein, Dr Parish created the substance abuse Objective Structured Clinical Exam (OSCE), now a cornerstone of the CARE Fellowship Program. Since 1995, she has also been a core faculty member at the Morchand Center, a regional video recording facility where Einstein students perform videotaped interviews using standardized patients.
Current Research Projects
Co-Investigator. Clinical Addiction Research and Education Program, NIH (NIDA) R25 DA14551 (P.I. Julia Arnsten). This award supports the development of innovative teaching methods to enhance substance abuse education in residency training at Montefiore, including the development and implementation of a five-station substance abuse OSCE for internal medicine and family medicine residents. The OSCE has been administered to 225 residents. We have conducted research evaluating residents' skills and assessing the impact of immediate feedback on performance. We have also compared the OSCE performance of residents who were exposed to our substance abuse curriculum to those who participated in the OSCE prior to the implementation of the curriculum.
Principal Investigator. Delivering Bad News Simulated Patient Educational Intervention and Standardized Patient Assessment, Grant for Excellence in Medical Education, Albert Einstein College of Medicine Division of Education. This study uses standardized patients to assess the efficacy of a simulated patient training and a single OSCE station with feedback on subinterns' "delivering bad news" communication skills.
Co-Investigator. Becoming a Doctor at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, (NICHD) 1K07 HD051528 (P.I. Paul Marantz). This award supports the restructuring and development of clinical undergraduate curricula in ethics, professionalism, prevention, and communication skills. We are conducting research on the educational impact of a four-station advanced communication skills OSCE on subinterns' performance.
Co-Investigator. Teaching Primary Care Physicians Behavioral Medicine Assessment And Intervention Skills Using Objective Structured Clinical Exams (OSCEs), Division of General Internal Medicine, Department of Medicine, Montefiore Medical Center (P.I. Charlie Schwartz). This award supports the development of a seven station OSCE to teach behavioral medicine skills to internal medicine interns. We are conducting research evaluating interns' skills and assessing the impact of immediate feedback on performance, as well as the efficacy of faculty feedback.

commentary CES panels stress the urgent need to free up more radio frequencies to address the insatiable demand from mobile users and high-bandwidth apps.
Brian Cooley discusses why wireless carriers are chomping at the bit to buy available TV broadcast spectrum in an auction set to happen mid-2015.
XLTE will essentially offer faster peak data speeds and make more bandwidth available during heavy traffic times.
The new rules for the complicated, but important auction set for late next year are a work of compromise that didn't fully satisfy big or small wireless carriers.
FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler says that new rules he is proposing for the upcoming TV broadcast spectrum auction will set aside a sliver of licenses for smaller wireless operators in an effort to promote competition.
AT&T's threat to not participate in the upcoming auction could jeopardize the success of the auction, but it's unclear how serious its warning is as its arguments seem weak when scrutinized.
It's just the latest deal in which a major carrier bulks up its spectrum position, providing it with more wireless capacity.
New rules adopted by the FCC that limit how TV broadcasters can do business may discourage participation in the upcoming incentive spectrum auction.
The FCC voted to free up an additional 100MHz of wireless spectrum for unlicensed use in a move that will help alleviate congestion on Wi-Fi networks and pave the way for faster-speed service.
The H block auction comes to a close as the FCC reaches the reserve price of more than $1.5 billion, which will be used to help fund the building of a nationwide public safety network.

Review: 2007 Volkswagen Eos
This 2007 review is representative of model years 2007 to 2015.
By Dan Jedlicka of MSN Autos
Bottom Line:
New retractable hardtop convertible breaks new ground for Volkswagen.
The Volkswagen Rabbit and similar Cabriolet 4-seat convertibles were the quintessential "chick cars." They seemingly were driven mostly by high school and college female students until largely replaced by the Mazda Miata sports car in the early 1990s.
It's doubtful if Volkswagen's new front-wheel-drive Eos 4-seat convertible will be as popular with young ladies as the Rabbit/Cabriolet, even though it has a fully automatic five-section retractable hardtop with a unique feature for such a top: a large sliding sunroof.
For one thing, price is an obstacle, although the Eos is among the lowest-cost retractable hardtops at $27,990-$36,850. The most expensive Cabriolet, which replaced the Rabbit convertible, cost only $18,380 in 1993. It was affordable for the good number of moderately affluent parents to buy for their daughter. Based on a mid-1970s Volkswagen design, the Cabriolet was dropped after 1993.
Long History
Of course, Volkswagen has been selling the retro-styled New Beetle 4-seat convertible here for several years with a conventional soft-top. It's cuter than the Eos and starts at $22,120. The Miata begins at $20,435.
Something Else Again
Transmissions are a regular 6-speed manual, which works with a light but long-throw clutch, and an automatic 6-speed Direct Sequential Gearbox (DSG).
The base and 2.0T Eos are quick with their sophisticated, turbocharged 2.0-liter engine.
However, that's a rather small engine that calls for lots of shifting for the best performance during quick acceleration or when merging or passing with the 6-speed manual gearbox my test car had. Quick highway passing above 65 mph calls for one or two downshifts.
Fuel Efficiency
The Eos is fun to drive, being small and nimble. Steering is quick and communicative, and handling is good, although this is no sports car. Volkswagen convertibles always have been cruisers. The Eos ride thus is comfortable and braking is good, with a progressive acting pedal for smooth stops.
Pretty Well-Equipped
The midrange $29,990 2.0T adds heated front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, power driver's seat, center console and even heated washer nozzles.
The top-line 3.2L adds the V6, an in-dash 6-disc CD/MP3 changer, steering wheel radio controls, satellite radio and the DSG transmission. The DSG also is offered for the 4-cylinder Eos, but raises its price to $31,065.
Safety Features
Option packages contain leather upholstery and a sport suspension for crisper handling. Also offered are larger wheels and tires.
The $28,680 Pontiac G6 GT convertible is the major competitor to the Eos. The GT6 has a retractable hardtop, but no sunroof. The Volvo C70 T5 also has a retractable hardtop, but also no sunroof. It costs a pricey $39,090.
So-So Styling
One drawback: Nearly two feet of space must be left behind the Eos before lowering its top or top components will hit an object near the rear of the car. However, a $350 warning system beeps if the Eos is too close to an object behind it.
Small Cargo Area
The Eos is nearly rattle-free. Its sunroof gives it a sunny top-up interior, which is quiet but has a cramped back seat—like every Volkswagen convertible ever built. The attractive high quality cockpit has easily read gauges and user-friendly controls.
The Eos again shows that Volkswagen is capable of advanced engineering. The car's styling could be improved, but conservative Volkswagen never has been much of a styling leader.

- " This hostel is amazingly well located and the view outside of the window is beautiful. I liked hearing horse hooves clicking downstairs all of the time. Showers and bathrooms were a little walk down the hall. Staff- I dealt with a girl and a guy. The girl was friendly and helpful, but the guy seemed a bit annoyed at my questions. I also paid 4 zloty for a towel the size of a dish towel. I think staff needs to understand questions are normal and be a little cooler about helping. "

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Boeing Co
The payouts are "among the highest-ever levels" paid to non-represented employees and engineers and technicians represented by the Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace (SPEEA).
The bonuses are equivalent to between 6.15 percent and 6.54 percent of the employees' eligible pay from 2013.
For machinists, the payout totals 4 percent of eligible pay. Machinists are represented by the International Association of Machinists.

At the New Iberia Municipal Civil Service Board meeting last Tuesday, Mayor Hilda Curry nixed annual cost of living pay increases for all city employees, except at the fire department."It's not something you want to do, but I would prefer to eliminate the CPI increase and not have to do more layoffs, if possible," Mayor Hilda Curry. She said with a looming $1 million deficit at the end of this fiscal year in October, it wasn't possible; until three days later."Late Friday afternoon Mayor Curry called me to inform me that she had changed her position," says Craig Colwart, the chairman of the Civil Service Board. Colwart says the mayor, who was unavailable for comment as of Monday afternoon, had a change of mind after speaking with employees."She now recommended that just the classified municipal employees be given their 2 percent cost of living increase," says Colwart.Colwart says the mayor plans on pulling between $55,000 and $60,000 from the city's disaster fund, if the board and city council approve the increases."I think they would deserve it and at budget time we would try to find a way to find the 2 percent," says Mayor Pro Tem Dan Doerle.Doerle says he will look at the entire budget to support the increases, and City Council Member Natalie Robin announced at that meeting last week that she was willing to make sacrifices."If they don't get it, I'll be working towards putting a resolution to literally wave car allowances full for council members," says Robin. She says getting rid of council travel expenses is still on the table, even if they can't find money for it in the budget."If we all voluntarily donated that money to Civil Service it would at least cover a 1 percent increase," says Robin.

The article "Study Says the Rich Really are Different: They're Less Ethical" on Global Ethics website shows an interesting look into more affluent peoples' minds. The article, based on studies conducted by researchers in California and Canada, states that more wealthy people believe that "Greed is good". "Upper class" people were more likely to drive aggressively, steal from those less affluent, and lie and cheat during college, because they follow the aphorism that "greed is good". The San Francisco Chronicle reports that "the US is divided between a wealthy, greedy, minority and… the rest of us." The article's lead author, Paul Riff, believes that this classification conflict is of great significance in today's society.
My own take on this article
I believe we are seeing the end of the neighborly America. We are so wrapped up in our own lives that we no longer care about what we do to others anymore. That greed is prevalent in our society is more than apparent. One merely has to look at what is happening today. Where and when I was growing up, we took care of our neighbors and our families better. We didn't send our older folks to rot in nursing homes; we dealt with their problems as if they were our own. When a neighbor had a problem, we pitched in, just like they pitched in with us. Today, I live in New York for those ideals. I wasn't raised here, but my wife was. Her father is a near 70 year old widower. He isn't in the shape he was even four years ago. We take care of each other as best we can, because it's what we're supposed to do. This isn't obligation, its honor and integrity. I was raised to take care of my own. I'd rather be poor and have honor and integrity, than to be rich because I used and abused others to get that way.

One of the test results I found in Dad's records was for a mutation in a gene called MHTFR. His medical records say:
Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MHTFR) FRET genotype analysis to identify the C677T polymorphism. Genotype result: A/A (Normal)
The U.S. National Library of Medicine has a Genetics Home Reference site written for consumers who want to know more about genetic conditions. Information on that site says mutations in this gene are associated with cardiovascular disease and elevated levels of an amino acid called homocysteine. Elevated levels of homocysteine in the blood are thought to increase the risk for cerebrovascular disease and Alzheimer's disease.
Some researchers have suggested a possible association between a particular mutation of the MHTFR gene and Alzheimer's disease or vascular dementia, but recent studies have not found any strong association, except in Japanese and Chinese populations.
Even if this genetic mutation were a problem, Dad didn't have it. His homocysteine levels were also normal. None of his doctors ever mentioned this genetic test or homocysteine levels, so I guess they didn't feel this was likely to be a factor in his dementia.

Skipper Jimmy Spithill and Oracle Team USA won the America's Cup on Wednesday with one of the greatest comebacks in sports history.
Spithill steered Oracle's space-age, 72-foot catamaran to its eighth straight victory, speeding past Dean Barker and Emirates Team New Zealand in the winner-take-all Race 19 on San Francisco Bay to keep the oldest trophy in international sports in the United States.
All but defeated a week ago, the 34-year-old Australian and his international crew twice rallied from seven-point deficits to win 9-8. Owned by software billionaire Larry Ellison, Oracle Team USA was docked two points for illegally modifying boats in warmup regattas and had to win 11 races to keep the Auld Mug.
After almost dunking its chances when it buried its bows in a wave shortly after the start, Oracle's hulking black catamaran - with a big No. 17 on each hull - showed its incredible speed when it reeled in the Kiwis while the boats zigzagged toward the Golden Gate Bridge on the windward third leg.
They fly across the water thanks to underwater wings called hydrofoils, reports CBS News correspondent Bill Whitaker.
"You're hitting near freeway speed - over 50 miles an hour," San Francisco sailor Kimball Livingston told Whitaker. "These are the fastest boats ever built. We've never seen anything like this in any kind of sailing boat, much less the America's cup."
They don't just look spectacular, they're spectacularly expensive - $100-million to build and operate, Whitaker reports.
The New Zealanders were game despite being stranded on match point for a week. Spithill and crew still had to sail their best to end the longest, fastest and by far wildest America's Cup on a course between the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz Island.
Team New Zealand had the lead the first time the boats crossed on opposite tacks. By the time they crossed again, the American boat - with only one American on its 11-man crew - had the lead.
As Oracle worked to stay ahead, tactician Ben Ainslie, a four-time Olympic gold medalist from Britain, implored his mates by saying, "This is it. This is it. Working your (rears) off."
It had to have been a gut-wrenching moment in New Zealand, which has been on edge for a week as the Kiwis failed to close out the victory on a warm, sunny afternoon.
The Kiwis had been faster upwind in running away with races early, but Oracle constantly made changes to make its cat a speed freak.
As Spithill rounded the third mark onto the downwind fourth leg, his catamaran sprang onto its hydrofoils at 35 mph, its hulls completely out of the water, and headed for history.
There were hugs and handshakes after he steered the cat across the finish line, 44 seconds ahead of Team New Zealand. Ellison, who has spent an estimated $500 million the last 11 years in pursuing, winning and now defending the silver trophy, hopped on board and the crew sprayed him with champagne.
It wasn't always so jubilant, of course, but Spithill refused to let his team fold after the penalties were announced four days before racing started.
How big was this win?
In sailing terms, it was the equivalent of the Boston Red Sox sweeping the final four games of the 2004 ALCS over the New York Yankees, the only 3-0 comeback in major league history. It's also comparable to the Philadelphia Flyers overcoming a 0-3 deficit to beat the Boston Bruins in the 2010 NHL playoffs.
As stirring of a comeback as it was for Spithill and his mates, it was a staggering loss for Team New Zealand. Barker, 41, was looking for redemption after losing the America's Cup to Alinghi of Switzerland in 2003 and then steering the losing boat in 2007, also against Alinghi.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I have 5 boys 3 have moved on from leona cox with the help of the great staff and teachers. 1 is in first grade, with a kindergarten starting for my last son. The teachers have so much compassion for the kids! I love that they treat the kids like there own and make every child feel like they are the special one. The PTA is the best, the more you get involved the more you love the school.
I have had the best experience at Leona Cox. I have twin boys that are going into 2nd grade and they have had the best education ever. The principal truly cares about the school, students and the parents and making Leona Cox a community school. I have brought several issues to the principal and teachers and they have all handled them extremely well. If something needs to be looked at, the principal makes sure the staff is trained and knows exactly what to do. They have a zero tolerance for bullying and stick to what they believe. I recently moved to a new house where i was assigned to a Saugus School district school, but chose to keep my kids at Leona Cox. I would recommend this school to anyone.
My school is wonderful. It starts with the office staff, administration, teachers and parents. We are well informed and safety is number one. My kids have been there for over 5 years and love the teachers and their dedication.
My son will be entering the 1st grade at Leona Cox Elementary this year. Last year, we were new to the area and my son was starting kindergarten. He loved his teacher and his school. Even though it is a public school, Leona Cox has a private feel. The small and warm campus is full of friendly, caring teachers and staff. We love our school!
We love our school! Our daughter enrolled there last year as a Kindergarten student and had the most amazing teacher! She loved going to school every day. We are so pleased with the Excel reading program, the highly qualified teaching staff, and the caring support staff. We are proud to be a Cougar family!
Leona Cox has a caring and knowledgable teaching staff and administration. Our child has just completed kindergarten and is all ready for first grade. We are so fortunate to have Leona Cox as our home school, and my wife and I are getting even more involved in school programs and PTA activities this year!
Mrs. Elder is awesome! I volunteer in her first grade class that my son goes to and she is creative and keeps the kids engaged. Her classroom is well-controlled, and she is on the PTA, and comes up with such fun activities for the school.
I learned so much from this school and not only that but the teachers support and help you with everything. Thanks!
The Teachers, Principal, office staff. are all awesome. They all really care about your kids here. I could have never asked for a better school.
Leona Cox is a great school! The best thing I ever did for my son was remove him from his old school and enroll him here. The staff is amazing. Look around, they are happy. It says a lot of the Principle. She is really great and shows concern. I am excited to know our other son will attend a this great school in a few years as well.
I have both my children attending Leona Cox school since last year. In my experience, the school principle is very rude and uptight.. But other than that, the teachers are absolutely wonderful. The school lunches seem to be a bit expensive when compared to other schools.
Leona Cox is a great school, a great community. Mrs. Smith the princple really brought the school together. She will be missed. A new year to come! My children are very excited!!
I really like Leona Cox School. Both of my children love going to school. The teacher and staff are great. The principle Mrs. Smith is the best thing that has happen to this school. She is for the children and would do anything to help out anybody. My kids love her and think she is the best. All the teachers are friendly and the office ladys, Mrs. Brake and Mrs. Cowhick are the nicest lady's and have a smile on there face. My kids get involve in a lot of things at school that go on. They love doing the valet program, they really think that Mrs. Stanley is the coolest lady there. She runs the program and is very nice to all the kids that work for her and she always has a smile on her face every morning. They love doing the talent show.
Wonderful staff and teachers! Very active PTA and involved parents. My daughter enjoys going to school. There are many events which families can attend and participate. My daughter speaks fondly of school to others in our family some of whose children attend private schools on the east coast...including the famed 'Sidwell School' ! Many of my family there(east coast) cant believe Cox is a public school that offers lots of support, activities and involved teachers similar to the quality they PAY for!
Leona Cox is a great school. Mrs. Banda did an excellent job. (we will miss her) My two boys a are very happy and proud of their school and teachers
Child number 3 of 3 is attending now. Exceptional teachers and a small student body combined with an active PTA and parents is what makes this school tops in my book. The staff is great, even though the Principal has some tough shoes to fill, she does a great job.
My fourth grader has had five excellent teachers in a row. He is in the band, and has a great percussion teacher. Great activities, nice school spirit. We are very happy. Love Mrs. Banda too.
My 8 yr old 2nd grader loves her school and teacher, Ms. Ayer. Ms. Ayer is young and energetic, and I am impressed with the montly 'projects' that she assigns. I truly feel that my daughter is learning a lot more at this school than at her previous, a private school. I was worried about her adjusting to her new school in the middle of the year, but the whole staff has been very friendly and supportive. The principal, Mrs. Banda, showed me the campus on our first day. Any complaint that is brought up is looked into and there's a weekly newsletter that goes out to the parents with any updates. So far, we are very happy with this school environment.
The Principle and teachers are very helpful and friendly. Every morning I receive a big welcome. smilling faces walk into Leona Cox school
I have had children in this school for 12 years and seen 4 principals pass through our wonderful school. I miss the loving and kind leadership of Marion Hamor most of all. Marion you are missed. The current principal leaves a lot to be desired. Just common curtesies like smiling and saying hello would be a start. Our lovely VP Mrs. Brower is so awesome. My experiences with her are always positive. She really understands how a school should be run.

SATURDAY, June 11 (HealthDay News) -- For most people, insect
stings are a painful annoyance, but they can be deadly for those
who are allergic to them, researchers warn.
Each year in the United States, more than half a million people
have to go to emergency departments after suffering insect stings,
and at least 50 die, according to the American College of Allergy,
Asthma and Immunology, which recently released updated guidelines
for diagnosing and treating people with hypersensitivity to insect
Its three key recommendations for people who are allergic to
Research indicates that allergy shots are effective in
preventing allergic reactions to stings. The shots work like a
vaccine, exposing recipients to increasing amounts of the stinging
insect allergen in order to boost the immune system's tolerance of
And although bumblebees are considered less aggressive than
hornets and wasps, a growing number of severe allergic reactions
are being caused by bumblebees, particularly among greenhouse
workers. Because of this, people should try to avoid bumblebees as
much as other stinging insects, the group advises.
In addition, the allergy experts noted, certain people are at
increased risk for serious allergic reactions to insect stings.
Factors associated with a higher risk include: a history of severe
or near-fatal reactions to insect stings; heart disease, high blood
pressure or pulmonary disease in those who have had a reaction
beyond the site of a sting; asthma; taking certain medications,
including beta blockers or ACE inhibitors; and frequent exposure to
stinging insects, such as among gardeners and beekeepers.
Symptoms of a severe allergic reaction to stings include:
Medical experts stress that anyone who has any of these symptoms
should seek immediate medical attention at the nearest emergency

411 Fact or Fiction 11.08.12: Cranky Vince, Jack Swagger, Nigel McGuinness, More
Posted by
Steve Cook
on 11.08.2012
Was it a good move to put Ryback in a triple threat match for Survivor Series over the original main event plan? Is it surprising that John Cena stood up to Vince McMahon? 411's Mathew Sforcina and Michael Uphoff debate these topics and more!
Hi, hello & welcome to 411 Fact or Fiction! I'm Steve Cook, and it's been an interesting week in the world of pro wrestling. The top of the Survivor Series card was switched around on Monday's Raw episode. Rumor has it that John Cena was the top superstar that told Vince McMahon he was behind the times. @CrankyVince tweeted about Jack Swagger wanting to leave WWE. Luke Gallows was unmasked as a member of Aces & Eights, Nigel McGuinness became Ring of Honor's new matchmaker, and Brad Armstrong passed away at the age of fifty-one.
I've invited two of 411's finest to discuss these topics. Introducing first, the longest-serving writer of Ask 411 Wrestling & Australia's favorite wrestler…
Mathew Sforcina
His opponent was formerly part of the Triumvirate of Truth and is currently hoping Kansas State's football team can run the table…
Michael Uphoff
Questions were sent out Monday.
Participants were told to expect wrestling-related questions.
1. You approve of the changes to the Survivor Series card made on this week's Raw.
Mathew Sforcina
Not so much for the matches themselves, but the fact the changes happened at all. Look, having a dynamic PPV card is a good thing, it shows development, it can portray wrestlers as being what they should be, larger than life people would can and do have dynamic personalities that make us want to cheer and/or boo them. Having them cause a PPV card to change is fine... If it's organic and logical. What they did on Raw was neither of those things. And the end result negates the work Foley did last week, and it also gives us a match who's result is fairly obvious (Punk steals the fall from Cena). So no, I do not approve of these random, pointless changes.
Michael Uphoff
I absolutely hate the changes made to the Survivor Series card on this week's episode of Monday Night RAW. With these changes, the traditional Survivor Series elimination match now becomes a match filled with midcarders and the Tag Team Champions. Mick Foley has no more use to the match, as he was there to be the foil to CM Punk. You could have had Dolph Ziggler face John Cena at Survivor Series instead of making the main event the Triple Threat match for the WWE Championship. With the traditional Survivor Series elimination match, Punk could have eliminated a few people, leaving Ryback in a three-on-one or something like that and have Ryback be the sole survivor, thus keeping him strong and Punk as well. Now, they have to come up with an ending for the Triple Threat that will allow Punk to keep the WWE title but not make Ryback look weak. WWE has tried to improve something that looked good on paper and made it worse. Way to go, Vince.
Score: 1 for 1
2. You're surprised by the reports that John Cena told Vince McMahon that he was behind the times.
Mathew Sforcina
Cena may be a company man, but he is also a man in possession of a brain, the nerve to support talent he likes (sometimes) and, most of all, is going through some personal issues on the home front right now. Why would it be surprising he'd lash out at this point? Sure, anyone talking back to Vince is a surprise, but if
there is anyone who could, it's Golden Goose boy.
Michael Uphoff
I'm not surprised that Cena told McMahon that he was behind the times, because that's the truth. McMahon has been behind the times for years now, trying to duplicate the success of the Attitude Era by including some things that worked in the Attitude Era in the WWE nowadays and betting that they will work. When they don't work, he tries something else from the Attitude Era. Guess what, Vince? The reason why the Attitude Era was so successful was because of the superstars and the writers during that era. The superstars were talented enough to take what the writers gave them and turn it into gold. Vince has to stop trying to duplicate that success by using elements from that era and start building a new era with the current talent that he has by using fresh material. Hopefully he listens to Cena, but it's Vince, so I doubt it.
Score: 2 for 2
3. Jack Swagger would be better off staying in WWE & waiting for his opportunity than leaving.
Mathew Sforcina
… I cannot believe I'm saying this, but yeah, FICTION. Swagger will forever be just a midcard guy in WWE unless he gets more of a buzz around himself. And to do that, he has to either go to Japan, go to TNA, or go to the Indies. While the money may be less (although a former World Champ who can actually work should be able to pull in decent Indy money) he can improve his craft and/or force WWE to come back later where he can then set better terms. He, like many other WWE midcard acts, would probably benefit from taking the plunge. Of course, probably is the key word, because it doesn't always work
Michael Uphoff
I think so. Swagger will get his chance to succeed in the WWE and will get better opportunities staying in the WWE than leaving and going elsewhere, presumably to TNA. TNA is overloaded right now and wouldn't use him well. Swagger has been a world champion before, and I would think that he will be a world champion again. It might be some time, but Swagger just needs to make an impact and show that he is ready. Once Vince gets his head out of his ass, guys like Swagger that have talent in the ring and are halfway decent on the mic will be given their chance.
Score: 2 for 3
4. You're interested in the secret identity of @CrankyVince.
Mathew Sforcina
if only because if I find out, then others will find out, and if others find out, then CrankyVince might go away. And I like CrankyVince. I want more CrankyVince. It doesn't matter if it's an ex writer, a current staff member, a family friend or you, Mr. Cook. It's hilarious. I want it to remain. So keep it secret, thank you.
Michael Uphoff
But only slightly just. I don't really care overall who is behind the identity of @CrankyVince, but it would be kind of nice to see Vince blow his stack if it's someone inside his inner circle. This kind of smells like it might be Vince working everyone, but I doubt that Vince is behind this. I'm not really interested in seeing what @CrankyVince says or does, because it's all just rumors and gossip. I am, however, sort of interested in finding out who it is, unless it's Hornswoggle underneath the ring again.
Score: 2 for 4
5. WWE Main Event is the best wrestling show on television.
Michael Uphoff
With the few episodes of WWE Main Event that I have seen, it is not the best wrestling show on television. Monday Night RAW is still better than Main Event. SmackDown is still better than Main Event. However, Main Event does a good job of keeping people interested in the WWE by showing wrestling and helping to continue storylines. While it isn't the best wrestling show on television, at times it is the most sound WWE wrestling show on television.
Mathew Sforcina
but I totally understand anyone who wants to say Fact here. It's certainly the best TV WWE is putting out right now, without question, but best wrestling show... Despite it having some off weeks, I kinda have to give it to Impact, only because it's longer and has more story development. Main Event is a better pure wrestling show, but Impact has both good wrestling (most of the time) and is a major show, so I tend to give it a higher overall mark. But I totally get and understand and support anyone who says Fact. *awaits claims of
bias in comment section*
Score: 3 for 5
6. Brad Armstrong was the most talented member of the Armstrong wrestling family.
Michael Uphoff
It really pains me to say this, but I disagree. In terms of pure talent, he may have been the most talented member of the family. His style in the ring was highly technical with a lot of speed and crisp moves. A strong case could be made for other members of the family, however. His father, Bullet Bob Armstrong, was also arguably the most talented member of the Armstrong wrestling family. A case could also be made for either Kip James or BG James. If I had to pick one, I would say that Bullet Bob was probably the most talented. I say that because he was able to train four sons that all turned out to have successful careers in pro wrestling in their own way. In-ring talent, all members of the Armstrong family had it, but Brad had it the most. In terms of all-around wrestling talent, acumen, and a mind for the sport, it is undoubtedly Bullet Bob Armstrong.
Mathew Sforcina
Don't make me choose, please.
Oh, fine... FACT, by the slimmest of slim margins. I'm talking Higgs Bosons appearing bulky in comparison, and that's physically impossible! Bullet was a solid enough hand, but Brian, a.k.a Jesse James, a.k.a Road Dogg, a.k.a the second best thing on "Are You Serious?" is very much on par with him, in that what he lacked in in ring skill he made up for with mic skills. Brad is the eternal 'Shouldabeen' guy, he should have been so much more, but Brian managed to actually do it, so you can argue he has more overall talent. But I don't, Brad was better in my mind, but it's a matter of what you consider talent to be, really.
Score: 3 for 6
7. The man formerly known as Luke Gallows will have more success in TNA than he did in WWE.
Michael Uphoff
This is a blatant FACT. Luke Gallows would never have been given much of a chance in the WWE, and when he was there, he wasn't given hardly anything until they paired him with Punk in the Straight Edge Society, and even that got neutered beyond anything useful. Luke Gallows is actually part of an interesting storyline in TNA, not something many people can say. Gallows probably won't be champion, but he will find more success over there than he would have ever found in the WWE.
Mathew Sforcina
if only by default. The man debuted as a brain damaged redneck idiot, and then when he got as good gimmick, he was overlooked and cast aside. TNA will use him better. Hard to imagine how he couldn't.
Score: 4 for 7
8. Nigel McGuinness will be a good authority figure for Ring of Honor.
Michael Uphoff
I kind of like McGuinness being an authority figure for Ring of Honor. He knows the company, and the fans love and respect him for what he has done for the company. He seems like a good fit and could be really good in his role for the company, but we will have to wait and see. I would bet that McGuinness will be a successful authority figure in Ring of Honor.
Mathew Sforcina
The man can talk, has a history to respect in the company, can conceivably hold his own in a fight or be beaten down as the story demands it, can work equally well heel or face... Yeah, this should be a good thing. Provided he doesn't go all WWE on us and speak for 20 minutes about THIS BUSINESS or sleep with Davey Richards or something, we'll be just fine.
Oh crap, I just gave the shippers fuel, didn't I? Crap...
Final Score: 5 for 8
Michael & Mathew agreed a bit, but parted ways when it came to Brad Armstrong, @Cranky Vince & Jack Swagger. How do you feel about this week's topics? Let us know down in the comment section! Thanks to Michael & Mathew for participating, and we'll be back next week with more Fact or Fiction!

Topic - Cordellete what length?
puppythedog on 06 Dec 2012
I'm off Ice Climbing for the first time in January (Wahoo). It's been suggested I take a couple of Cordellete loops of cord on my harness to equalise belays easily and because they can be cut down for abalakov threads. Seem sensible. It's been suggested I get 7mm thick.
I've googled and come up with a suggestion of 6 metres but that seems like so so much, question therefore is how long should it be? by which I mean how long should it be either looped or from one end to the other (cord) and please let me know which you are referring to. Thanks for the advice.

Over the past week, I have had more than the usual number of conversations about EOL (end of life) care. One of these discussions was with a woman whose death is lurking, but the others were all with women who are doing fine and expecting (appropriately) to be healthy after cancer. One reality is that a cancer diagnosis, whatever the specifics, shatters our denial or attempt to believe in our own immortality. While our society seems to try very hard to deny death and even to deny aging ("Sixty is the new forty!" etc.), we have been forced to acknowledge the central truth of human life.
This does give us an opportunity to think and to talk with our families about our wishes and goals. One would hope that this honesty would also encourage our family members to tell us about their own hopes for care. If we do nothing about this, it is very likely that we will end up dying in a hospital, quite possibly in an ICU with all kinds of sophisticated medial care vainly trying to keep us breathing. If you haven't seen it, I encourage you to look at The Conversation Project (www.theconversationproject.org) which has excellent materials to help with this difficult discussion.
You may also be interested in this new book, The Best Care Possible, by Dr. Ira Byock from Darthmouth Hitchcock. Before I give you a little more information about it, let me be clear that this is not intended to be a downer entry. Quite the contrary. In my experience, there is something very freeing about having had these thoughts and talks. Once done, they are done, and you can go on with living.
From NPR, here is a little more and then a link:
'Best Care': We Make Death Harder Than It Has To Be
Many people hope to die peacefully at home surrounded
by their loved ones, but unfortunately it usually doesn't
turn out that way. Thirty percent of Americans die in
nursing homes, more than half die in hospitals and
nearly half of those people spend their last days in
intensive care units.
In his book The Best Care Possible, Dr. Ira Byock argues
that the way most Americans die is a national disgrace
— an ethical, moral and economic crisis that will get a
great deal worse as the baby boomers age.
Byock, director of palliative medicine at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center,
says that modern medicine has provided unprecedented power to treat disease
and help people live longer, but has also changed the focus of health care.

As a university of design, the Bauhaus School revolutionised 20th century art and architecture around the world. Today the original buildings in Weimar and Dessau, along with a range of museums and exhibitions, provide an insight into a movement that still seems innovative today.
Appearing between 1913 and 1934, Berlin's six Modernist housing estates, with their promise of 'light, air and sunshine' for residents, provided a welcome antidote to the gloomy tenement buildings of Wilhelmine Germany. Their clean lines made them hugely influential in 20th century architecture and town planning.
As the first English-style landscape garden in mainland Europe, the 18th century Garden Kingdom of Dessau Wörlitz unites garden design and architecture in perfect harmony. Here you'll find manor houses, more than 100 buildings of varying sizes and a range of sweeping parks and gardens, all spread over an area of 140 square kilometres on and around the banks of the rivers Elbe and Mulde.
Built from 1911 to designs by Adolf Meyer and Walter Gropius, the subsequent star architect of the Bauhaus school, the Fagus Factory is widely regarded as the first truly modernist structure. Typical of the Neues Bauen style, the glass and steel facade and the huge, wrap-around corner windows free of supports lend the building an elegant feeling of lightness.

Everest Base Camp Trek
The stunning Himalaya
Buddhist Culture
Adventures in Nepal
There are few more enchanting areas of the world than the Himalayas - and a Nepal trekking holiday allows travellers to enjoy an unforgettable experience among the country's famous peaks. Our Nepal holidays allow the perfect balance of adrenaline-fuelled adventure holiday and thoughtful cultural discovery, meaning there will be something to interest all types of traveller, adults and families alike. From safaris in Chitwan National Park to white water rafting down the Seti to sharing dinner with the local Sherpa, Nepal is a world of discovery.
Covering the majority of Nepal and translating as "abode of snow", the Himalaya contains more than 250 peaks. Perhaps the most famous of all - not just in Nepal but around the world - is Mount Everest. Conquering this magnificent peak has long been an obsession for adventurous travellers, although perhaps the best way to enjoy a hike is to head to Everest Base Camp. Although this means you cannot add your name to the roll call of people who have reached the summit, these type of trekking holidays still offers a huge sense of achievement and unrivalled views of the surrounding area. Going via Gokyo Lake offers a slightly more challenging route for the more experienced trekker, allowing you to check out the Cho La pass. If you want to enjoy the challenges and satisfaction firsthand try a trekking holiday in Nepal.
Worldwide Nepal Adventures
On an adult Nepal trip you can:
- Trek to Everest Base Camp – this is a hard trek and not to be taken lightly, serious trekkers only need apply
- Visit Buddhist and Hindu temples along the Vishumati River in Kathmandu, a chance for cultural discovery and quiet reflection
- Take on an extreme sport, whiter water rafting, in Chitwan National Park
- Take walks and treks through the Annapurna Region in smaller towns such as Pokhara and Bhaktapur
- Tackle Annapurna Base Camp and the challenging Annapurna Circuit – a demanding, high altitude 17 day trek in a loop around the whole Annapurna massif.
- Trek in the low foothills of the Himalaya, passing farmed terraces and small villages en route
- Choose from seven different trekking trips from Everest Base Camp to Goyko Lakes.
Family Nepal Adventures
On a family Nepal trip you can:
- Explore Chitwan National Park in a dugout canoe
- Trek through the Himalayas to Bandipur and Pokhara – these are low altitude treks suitable for active family
- Take your teenagers on a trek to the Everest Valley fro stunning views of Everest itself.
- Stay in locally run teahouses sharing your experiences with fellow trekkers and families, while learning more about Nepalese rural life
- Camp in the beautiful Himalayan mountains.
Our family Nepal trips are suitable for ages 7 and up.

"Overall I was very pleased with this card. I read the reviews before I purchased it so I knew to expect the texture verses a flat card; however, even though the paper wasn't completely smooth, I didn't have a hard time writing on it at all. It has the perfect coloring for what I was looking for, and it looks just like the picture available on the webiste. Also, it is the perfect size for a thank you card with just the right amount of space to write."
"This card was more beautiful in person. The colors are bright and cheery. I'm using them as thank you cards for presents for our new baby and have received many compliments."
"This are absolutely adorable!!! Smaller than I thought, make sure to read carefully the size description, but overall an adorable choice."
"These notecards are perfect for the guest of honor to receive as part of her baby shower gift. She can use them to send notes to her guests thanking them for the gifts they brought. They are simple, elegant single notecards with your choice of monogram letter and footer that can be personalized."
"Didn't notice their note until now, how there won't actually be any glitter. I didn't think there would be glitter, but somehow I was still disappointed there wasn't any when I opened it. Still...very cute."

Mary Shelley's groundbreaking gothic novel fused with the dramatic personal circumstances that inspired her to write it.
In the fall of 2013 Litmus Theatre sold out a two week run of Birth of Frankenstein.
Within the walls of a 19th century church in downtown Toronto, Mary Shelley has been woken. And here she is - to tell the story about how she came to write, and be consumed by, one of the most famous novels of all time. Featuring Romantic poet Percy Shelley, rebellious iconoclast Lord Byron, early feminist Mary Wollstonecraft and more, Birth of Frankenstein takes you through the looking glass and into the Waking Dreams of an 18-year old girl with big ideas and more than her share of love, loss and scandal. This fall, slip into an immersive world with the acclaimed indie company that brought you Matchbox Macbeth - a world where graves are robbed, men are made immortal, and all laws of nature are broken. Capacity of 40 - book your tickets early.
Thank you to The Canada Council for the Arts, Ontario Arts Council, and the Toronto Arts Council for their support of this project.

A free workshop hosted by Litmus Theatre
Litmus Theatre will lead a free two-hour workshop for emerging artists and theatre enthusiasts at the beautiful St. Luke's United Church.
Litmus Theatre co-founders will take the participants on a journey through the historic building, investigating the space with an eye to how architecture, space, found items and natural lighting can influence classic text. Through simple exercises we will train participants how to see a space through new eyes and uncover its hidden creative potential.
Starting with the Space: how to devise work in site-specific venues
Tuesday October 29, 2013
4:00pm - 6:00pm // FREE!

Peter & Wendy
A low-fi re-imagining of the Peter Pan saga.
Currently in development, Peter and Wendy will mark the second classic story Litmus Theatre will adapt to create a unique and enlivened contemporary theatrical experience. Litmus' adaptation will sacrifice traditional ornamentation for a more bare-bones approach in order to illuminate the complexity of Peter and Wendy's interaction. Our structure will also invite a deeper discussion around how we, as humans, use stories to process and shape our experiences.
Thank you to The Theatre Centre, SummerWorks, and the OAC for their support of this bold adaptation.
It's Shakespeare—but in a shed.
In the fall of 2011, Litmus Theatre remounted an eerie yet magical hour-long adaptation of Shakespeare's classic in a hidden backyard shed. Matchbox Macbeth completely sold out for the second year in a row and garnered a spot on NOW Magazine's Top 10 Theatre productions of 2010.
A special thanks to The Toronto Fringe Festival and the OAC for their support of our first production.

In the Watson Stage area there are two large food tents that can satisfy nearly any craving. There are also snack and food options located in The Shoppes at MerleFest and in other convenient locations across the festival grounds. While you enjoy your food or beverage, know that the proceeds from our food and beverage sales benefit local non-profits and WCC Clubs!

Food vendor space at MerleFest is limited. The majority of food vendors at the festival are local nonprofit organizations that are given the first opportunity to return each year as long as they comply with the festival's standards. Currently, all allotted food spaces are occupied. Other food vendors are welcome to complete an application to be placed on a waiting list should a current vendor opt out of returning to the festival. However, there is very little turnover in food vendors, so no timeframes or promises are made to vendors on the waiting list.
