"Well we are back from our honeymoon and would like to say a huge thank you for singing at our wedding.
Your voice is breathtaking, which made our ceremony so very special. We found that having you sing enabled us to take those few minutes, when the focus was on you, to savor and truly take in each other and what was happening. Priceless!
Also, your professionalism from our first email right through to our big day was superb, which helped me greatly to organize it all from abroad. In particular, your ability and willingness to transpose the music we wanted and work with our harpist to enable her to accompany you was amazing.Thank you so much Marianne!
Please feel free to give out my name and email as a reference.
There is a small token of our gratitude in the post to you - your singing will be treasured by us both in our memories forever."
Rachel and Mark Harris, Wedding in Hampton Court Castle
"I cannot recommend Marianne enough, her voice is beautiful and she offers a friendly and personal service. She recently sang
Ave Maria for us at our church wedding during the signing of the register. Many of our guests commented on how much they
enjoyed her singing and how she complimented our service perfectly. We kept Marianne's attendance a surprise and she
blended in with our guests until it was time for her to sing! As well as doing a great job on the day she offered so much
help and guidance to us before the day. Well, Marianne sang the song joyfully and with emotion that was perfect. She also went to the church before the day
and even went to the extra effort of speaking with the organist to ensure that everything went smoothly.
If you are not sure whether to book Marianne, then trust me when I say you should! Wedding preparations can be such a costly thing
and to spare a little part of that expense for Marianne is well worth it as she adds that something special. Thanks Marianne! "
Amanda & Adam, Bristol
"It was with great pleasure that I came across Marianne's singing some years ago and was struck by the wonderful timbre
of her voice and her vocal ability. Her modest demeanour belies a total commitment to the performance of her music where her
sincerity shines through."
Ron Taylor, Cheltenham (Singer with more than 40 years experience)

Healing and defenses have become far too powerful for Warsong Gulch to be fun on my server anymore.
Standard practice for alliance around here is all about a protection paladin or warrior running flag and 4 healers on them, with 2-3 dps classes just making sure the healers don't die.
The debuff doesn't even matter, as the -Prot- classes can take double damage and still survive 3 people on them easily.
AutumnBringer said...
I know, the whole tough defensive class joined by healers to keep them alive and some DPS to defend them is really just something people do when they can't do any better and have to cheat at the game. Teamwork hax!!!!

Move over Double Down, there's a new food atrocity in town: Friendly's Grilled Cheese BurgerMelt.
There wasn't much creativity in naming, as it's pretty much what it sounds like: A hamburger wedged between two grilled cheese sandwiches. And, of course, there's mayo.
Take a minute to digest that one.
One of the most nutritionally unfriendly sandwiches ever, it contains 1,500 calories and 79 grams of fat, almost triple that of KFC's disgusting Double Down.
Would you like a side of fries with your heart attack? Oh wait, it actually comes with fries.
I really want to know who would order something like this. Really.
A frat boy on a dare? Someone who just got out of jail?
Tell me it's not just your average Joe out for dinner on a Tuesday night. Please.
My instinct (and hope) is that these products perpetuate the market because they get publicity, because they get people talking about a particular restaurant -- even if it's in a very negative way. I can't imagine restaurants create these excessive items because they think and/or have found that people will actually order them.
Or maybe I'm wrong? Maybe Americans are this hungry and this in denial about what food like this can do to their bodies and their lives. Maybe Americans do eat like this and restaurants are just meeting demand.
Given our nation's obesity epidemic, I just may be dead wrong.
Do you know anyone who would order and eat Friendly's Grilled Cheese BurgerMelt?
Image via Friendlys.com
yes me and my husband would try it out
Yes. Homer Simpson.
yuck. Holy heartattack batman!
No thanks!
Isn't that nasty? When I saw the commercial, I paused it so I could get a closer look, because I didn't think I was actually seeing a burger with 2 grilled cheese sandwiches as the bun. And someone was paid to come up with this idea.....
Yep Yep...they have test kitchens and everything. This must have tested well for it to have made the menu...
Now that just sounds awful.
That looks better than the Double Down. The Double Down looked nasty, this at least looks appatizing. :D
OK. My theory on all this over the top ,heart attack inducing, extreme "comfort food" being marketed right now?
Publicists and their culinary counterparts are banking on peoples stress levels going through the roof in this economy. Everyone is cutting back on everything even "little luxuries" such as the occasional drive thru meal, and they feel deprived as a result.
What these crazy meals are supposed to conjure up in those are feelings of naughtiness, cheating, splurging, and self gratification. All of you puritanical naysayers are simply falling for the same ploy but on the other side of the coin.
Food is a powerful tool. We all gotta eat, you know. We just don't have to eat marketing ploys, and 10,000 calorie sandwiches! :)
no it's too big... grilled cheese or cheese burger please

Orbit's Sidekick Skateboard: Kid Friendly or Are You Kidding? by POPSUGAR Moms 9/07/10 14 Reactions 14 Shares Print 0 14 0 0 0 Orbit Baby's now catering to moms of one, two, and three! The company just announced their latest release, the Sidekick ($120), a skateboard attachment for the G2 stroller ($750). The cool contraption holds kiddos (aged 2 and up to 50 lbs) allowing them the luxury to roll when their young sibling is being pushed. And, because the boards hook on to the sides of the buggy, there's room for two — one on the left and another on the right.

It is just a disaster waiting to happen and would be more of a pain than anything else. Though, I do wish orbit would figure out some sort of double stroller system....oh well to late for that now. 4 years "If you think the Orbit is the ugliest stroller, then you need to have you eyes checked or you've never seen this stroller in person or are just jealous because you don't have one." Yeah, that's it. It couldn't possibly be that I simply think it's ugly. When do you graduate high school? I'm strange in that I don't fantasize about having something that "awes" everyone, but prefer to follow my own tastes and comforts. 4 years I think this is a great idea, but I picture a kid skateboarding away with your baby, seems a little scary. I also have to agree that the orbit is ugly, seems like another way to show off. 4 years Similar things have been around for ages, I don't really see the big deal. They are practical for kids 1.5-2 years and older and most of them are in the middle, between the handlebars. 4 years lol yes, because its impossible to dislike something, its ALWAYS jealous... 4 years LOVE the idea (= very creative. I wish it worked for my first generation! Lol I 4 years If you think the Orbit is the ugliest stroller, then you need to have you eyes checked or you've never seen this stroller in person or are just jealous because you don't have one. Everyone I come across is always awed by the Orbit. Plus, it is hands down the best stroller I have ever owned because of all it's innovative features. I cannot wait to get the sidekick so my son can ride along while I push his little sister. skigurl 4 years ngocnguyen - I was thinking the same thing I thought this was a pretty cute idea, though.

WASHINGTON — There has never been much to admire about the ministry of Eddie Long, who presides over the much-hyped New Birth Missionary Baptist mega-church in Lithonia, Ga. He is a homophobe, a narcissist and a con artist — a man much more devoted to his own wellbeing than that of his congregants or his larger community. He has misused his pulpit in ways large and small, including a self-aggrandizing abuse of the title "bishop," a rank that doesn't officially exist among Baptists.
Given Long's extremely flexible ethics over the years, it's no surprise that he chose to engage in hush-hush negotiations aimed at settling the sexual misconduct allegations brought against him by four young men. If the civil cases are settled — a settlement is reportedly close — they will likely require non-disclosure agreements by all parties. Long would then continue to insist that he did nothing wrong.
But he has already lost his halo — his fancy-suited, private-jet-flying, bling-wearing persuasiveness that coaxed millions of dollars out of his parishioners over the years so he and his wife could live large. He will no longer be able to draw big crowds to his anti-gay rants without eliciting snickers and snide remarks.
His credibility has been severely strained, and a secret settlement would simply ratchet up the unease that many among his parishioners must already be feeling. Wouldn't a man of the cloth who has been falsely accused of coercing young men into having sex with him insist on a public trial to clear his name? Didn't Long say last year that he would "fight and fight vigorously?"
He has been accused of the worst sort of exploitation. Three of the young men say the relationships started when they were teen-agers and members of a church ministry called the "LongFellows Youth Academy." (Did I mention Long's narcissism?) His accusers say the minister treated them to overseas trips and/or fancy gifts in exchange for sexual favors.
Church finances have already suffered in the wake of the lawsuits. The church has laid off employees and cut salaries, according to a message posted on a church Web site in March.
Of course, there are many members who insist they don't believe the accusers. When a popular minister is charged with wrongdoing, he can always count on the unquestioning support of some. But many members will find that the spell has been broken; Long's aura of invincibility has faded; his air of authority, once so powerful, is greatly diminished.
And that's a very good thing.
There is now a well-established pattern of closeted gay ministers in conservative circles, men who turned their fears and unease about their sexuality outward, preaching fiery sermons that condemn homosexuality as an "abomination." Those ministers have thrived for years in churches large and small before their deceits were uncovered. They have served congregations black, white and mixed.
But nowhere have those closeted gays — and their bigoted but straight brethren — done more harm than in the black church, where homophobia drives gays into the closet and fuels covert sexual activity. That, in turn, allows HIV/AIDS to thrive.
Nearly half the Americans living with HIV/AIDS are black, though black Americans account for less than 13 percent of the population. In the face of that staggering epidemic, too many black churches have been complicit, fostering a "down-low" culture by encouraging denial, fear and shame among gay parishioners.
Long has been in the front ranks of the homophobes. In 2004, he led thousands to march in support of a state constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage.
It's unlikely he'd be able to draw such crowds to march under his banner again. And that, too, is a very good thing.

It's quite sad for the congregation. Many of them have been duped into believing that giving to Eddie, was the same as giving to the Lord. I've seen his influence in nearly every aspect of public life in DeKalb, from his dealings with the County Police, County Schools, and the Commission, and it has not been good.
As his star fades, I pray that the folks of his church are able to find a shepherd who isn't out to fulfill his own desires at the expense of his people

Cynthia you do a great job with your articles…cutting through all the BS on most topics. Keep up the good work. Maybe other people will learn HOW TO THINK and make sense of the world we live in.
When we discover that issues do not have to be conservative or liberal, Democratic or Republican, Christian or unChristian…when we quit talking about the things that divide us and start a dialog about the things that can save our country…we might make it.

…and just WHAT is wrong with a sodomite preaching the biblical brimstone against sodomy for fun and profit? I can think of worse things. Like say Katie Courick thinking she can read the news. She's the worst American citizen since Arthur Godrey. She's a self deluded, obnoxious projection of a lacivious pretween and munchkin haute couture. If she never appears on the boobtoob again it will be too soon. If she is erased from every piece of videotape in existence we still wont get the taste of her out of our innocent mouths.
aw, I don't wanna talk about it.

Wow! Cynthia, don't hold back! Why has his congregation allowed him for so many years to live like he was royalty instead of using the funds to really help their community. When you think of what he paid for his Bentley and how students in the area could have used those funds for tutoring, college scholarships, lab equipment and more. Why do people give in the name of GOD to someone who does not walk in the light and love of the Christ they quote? Eddie has long used his money to buy favors for members of his church. The incompentent people hired by the School Board and County Government in DeKalb have every taxpayer footing the bill for Long's arrogance. I hope the AJC will continue to look into the web of nepotism at all levels of government that Eddie has woven and will help us unravel it. We need competent people working for the County – not followers of Long's.

Cynthia: Of course, there are many members who insist they don't believe the accusers. When a popular minister is charged with wrongdoing, he can always count on the unquestioning support of some.
That's the sad part — a lot of people fail to connect the preachings with the preacher. They'll say, "well, as long as he's preaching the word"; however they fail to release that whatever "word" that's coming out of a tainted mouth IS tainted and no amount of "hallejuah's" will make the unclean clean. Long has to confess his sins and ask for forgiveness (something we know that will NEVER happen), in order to cleanse himself from the taint of hypocrisy, adultery and sin.

CT – Us Baptists do believe in "bishops," we jsut happen to call them preachers and pastors. Good to see you're still writing. Hope all is well, and I hope you had a happy Easter.
I was troubled by your statement that the church had to cut salaries and lay people off. I've always been a small, country church kind of guy, and my church has never had a salaried pastor. Our pastor gets the morning offering on certain Sundays to offset the price of travel and other things. He actually has a full time job outside of the church, which I think is a good thing.
I happen to believe that power corrupts, and if you put one person in charge of an entire church, with no other job to do, then it will go to that person's head, just as it did with Mr. Long.

Eddie Long is just another in a long line of blacks, pandering to blacks, that only want to promote themselves for monetary gain. Jessie Jackson, Al Sharpton, Hosea Williams………..
I hope people are finally waking up to the reality of this type of "leadership".

I am fully aware that it is the American way, it is our right to pick and choose where we attend church and what we believe in and I would not change a thing about that right; however,It is a disgrace and harmfull that a clown like Eddie Long is allowed to misiform and mislead so many for so long. But, he has every right to do all of the above as long as he can fool enogh people to follow him. And many will continue to stand up and cheer at Long's non-sense.
Ms. Tucker, nothing has been more hurtfull and harmfull to the Black community than these religious racketeers and crack cocaine. Characters like Eddie Long have become rich with their messages of hate toward homosexuals and their misrepersentation of the Bible.
There is a clear connection between the tea party nuts and Black people who would willingly and joyfully follow someone who charge them enough so he and his family can ride around in chariots that cost more than their homes and wear clothes that cost more than their cars. These two groups are cemented together with false information and unsurported hate.
But, rest assured that Long will continue with his con and get away with it. Long knows, as do all good con artist know, that as long as there are the seeing who will not look, they will survive.

I always figured the TV ministers got away with stuff like that because the people didn't see how they really lived. I never understood how Long's congregation could ignore how that man lived. I hope the congregation will take a closer look at the next person who leads them.

Easter Sunday, and there they fill the church. What is wrong with these people. Why no questions about his "David vs Goliath" speech, and now secret settlements? Do those people not realize that the hard earned money they put in that plate will pay off these young men to keep their mouths shut.

Praises for Cynthia Tucker for just "putting it out there"……and without the "sugarcoating!" Bishop Long has finally been put in a position where his "DeKalb County buddies/officials" can't sweep a matter under the rug because he's the "Bishop!" I live down the street from New Birth and several of my neighbors attend the church. Two of the members said they heard a $4 million settlement was in fact made the week before Easter…….hmmmmmm!

Amen to that. The Bible I read explicitly says not to build up treasure here, where it is temporary. Not that there is anything wrong with being wealthy, but more often than not, the more money in your bank account the greater the gap between you and God.

sad state of affairs. pun intended. a microcosm of the catholic scandal. it's hard to admit the preacher/institution you put your faith in hid evil. blind allegiance to church or state creates a unhealthy/unholy alliance.

I forgot about Mr. Long's David and Goliath speech. Amazing how David, even after his sin and repentence was called a "man after God's own heart." David had an affair with a lady whom he saw bathing. Of course, David then sent her husband into battle to die. Mr. Long had an "affair" with young boys, and while he didn't kill anyone (at least that we know of)… sure, I can see the comparison to David.
Does anyone know if it is true that the New Birth building has an office for Mr. Long and another office for his ego?

Certainly there have never been a long line of white guys in a long line of white guys, pandering to whites, that only want to promote themselves for monetary gain. Why do the names Trump, Murdoch and numerous others come to mind? I'm sure we can name some religious ones too….the Franklin Graham ring a bell.

We need to change the tax code so that the folks who run non profits, whether they are churches or some other charity cant collect such huge salaries and benefits. If you work for a NON PROFIT that is tax exempt because its supposed to be helping the community then you shouldn't be paid more than $100,000. period. If you want to get rich start a company, and I don't mean a church.
Its not just the parishioners of New Birth who are supporting Long but all of us in the form of tax breaks for his church.

Black church members want a preacher to worship, not the Loprd; Long a perfect example. Set him up in wealth so they have someone to look up to; a true example of slavery mentality. There is no biblical reference that allows preachers to be rich. They are to depend upon followers for their needs, not to be a "star" Read your bible & find a church with a humble pastor & HELP HIM PREACH THE GOSPEL.

Until the Black community recognizes the struggle for civil rights being endured by the GLBT community attitudes will not chance. Black are some of the most homophobic people in the country.
As far as New Birth goes, if these idiots want to keep throwing their $ at Long then good for all of them. "A fool and his money are soon parted." Religion is nothing but a scam, invented to keep the poor from killing the rich.

Gordon @ 8:32 -
Your comment is wrong in oh-so-many ways. Forgiving the spelling errors and assumed laziness in not writing the word "and," your first line alone is horrifyingly erroneous. To lump all black church members into a single group is as wrong as saying all Tea Party members are racist.
And yeah, an argument could probably be made that preachers should not be wealthy, but that would require looking only at certain verses and not the whole context. As I said earlier, more often than not having more money equates to a greater gap between you and God.
I believe that, if you look at the guidelines laid out in the writings of Paul, you'll see that "This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous; One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?) Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil. Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil." (1 Timothy 3:1-7) When it says having his children under subjection, it doesn't mean enslaving them. It means raising well-behaved children who are brought up in admonition of the Lord and shown the way in which to walk.
But it's hard to do those things if you are not allowed to accumulate some wealth. The Bible does say in 1 Tim 5:8 "But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel." It does a pastor no harm to have a job outside the church.

"For we do not preach ourselves but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your bond-servants for Jesus' sake." – 2 Corinthians 4:5 (NASB). Perhaps – just perhaps – Eddie Long lost sight of the fact that it is Jesus Christ, not himself, who is to be the central focus of his ministry at New Birth. Too many "pastors" today have forgotten that they are first and foremost servants. Yes, they are leaders, too, but their calling is to lead by serving. That was Christ's example and it should be theirs as well.

If you work for a NON PROFIT that is tax exempt because its supposed to be helping the community then you shouldn't be paid more than $100,000. period.
You don't have to pay yourself a lot. You just have to control the church finances so that you can get the church to buy 10 Bentleys for "ministering" and then use them during the course of your day as though it was yours to use. Same with the house, the second house, etc. It becomes a big problem, though, when the donations start to dwindle and can't pay the upkeep. Then you have to lay off people.

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU for saying this. I agree with a few of the other comments regarding the blindly-led congregation of New Birth. At some point you have to realize that this is A MAN and not God himself. I feel sorry for any member who continues to go to this church and be hoodwinked by this con-artist. Shame on any of us who continue to believe in the man and not seek our own interpretation of Gods word.

Thank you for speaking out. Although I'm sure you'll get a lot of flack for this, freedom of speech needs to go both ways. Mr. Long needs to be held accountable for ALL his actions, regardless of the color of his skin. Thank you again for your bravery.

In desperate times, people will flock to these mega churches for some type of comfort. It has always amazed me when I see these preachers in their mega cars, rings on every finger, custom suits, spreading the word. And when did it become so fashionable to get your wife, hold your hands up to the sky and get on a billboard??? There most be a 100 or more of these billboards in the metro area.
And yes it is a black and white thing. I was visting a friends mega church in woodstock and happen to be there the day they were discussing the budget…..wow. Car for the preacher, library budget for the preacher, travel expense for the preacher, sect for the preacher, 6 figures for the preacher. Really??? Last time I went.

I was actually just doing some research and I found out that New Birth actually took the other office and put nothing but mirrors in it. So I guess it is still an office for his ego.
Also, I didn't think it would take too long for the comments to start coming in that religious people are less intelligent or, as carlosgvv put it "truly delusional." It saddens me to know that some people have to denigrate religion in order to feel better about themselves.

If Edwina Long will go to such lengths as back door negotiations to cover up something that he said he was "gon fight", watch him closely because he would have someone hurt or worse to protect what's left of the empire.

What makes you think I "have to denigrate religion in order to feel better about myself"? There is no logical reason whatever for you to believe that.

I completely agree Cynthia….couldn't have said it better myself. Eddie Long deserves everything he has coming to him. His followers are like a cult and believes everthing he says and denies every accusation that's brought against him without even questioning that it may be true. There are a lot of DL brothas out there who shout out against Homosexuality and same sex marriage but engage in the behavior themselves just to get the spot light off of them. it's a shame.

The Susan Spiritus Gallery is available for your private party or special event, whether it be for a lecture, cocktails, a Sunday afternoon soiree or a sit down dinner. We can accommodate a small group of about 50 people depending upon your event. Please call or email the gallery to discuss the specifics.
A great slideshow was created by Yahoo News Canada for S. Korean photographer, Sueng Hoon Park showing 18 of his woven tapestries.
It worth the watch! His work continues to get better and better.
My recent visit to Texas gave me access to Cara Barer's studio and her world of 'book art.' I was so excited to see her creations that I have prepared a newsletter on the artist and how she does what she does. The link to the newsletter is here, below and I hope you will enjoy it as much as I have. It is truly inspiring to see and read. I also visited with Tami Bone, whose works have now been added to the gallery's website: http://susanspiritusgallery.com/artist/tami-bone/mythos/
A large collection of photographs by Eikoh Hosoe have been added to the Susan Spiritus Gallery website. Please be sure to visit the pages and view all of the works from Embrace, Ordeal By Roses, Kamatachi, Simon, A Private Landscape, Gaudi Ceilings and a selection of images from the artist's workshops.
Please be sure to locate the works of our newest photographer, William Furniss, from Hong Kong. His water abstractions are not only colorful, but can be printed large and will be just perfect for any corporate space! During my recent trip to Hong Kong I visited William's studio and saw each of these images in person. They are quite spectacular!
We have a new classification under the artists' pages on the website which reads: Vintage Works for Sale. The images which will be found under this category will be 'ones of' only, older prints, and in some cases may truly be vintage, but in most cases, will not be vintage as the name suggests, but earlier prints being offered from private collections for resale. There will always be a variety of artist's works found under this category. Currently there are images by Max Yavno, Jerry N. Uelsmann, Andre Kertesz, George Tice, Robert Doisneau, Ansel Adams and newly added work by New Mexico photographer, Betty Hahn.

Given its high-calibre talent Robert De Niro, Julianne Moore, Paul Dano – it's a surprise that this is a DVD premiere.
On the other hand, it is relentlessly grim stuff.
Based on Nick Flynn's experimental memoir Another Bullshit Night In Suck City (a better title than something that sounds like a Tron spin-off), Paul Weitz's (About A Boy) film follows the parallel lives of a hard-bitten mythmaking conman (De Niro) and his estranged son (Dano), a would-be writer scarred by the suicide of his mother (Moore, in flashbacks).
Addiction, madness, resentment… Weitz trowels it all on, but the acting's classy enough to offer respite.

The science of SETI@home
SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) is a scientific area whose goal is to detect intelligent life outside Earth. One approach, known as radio SETI, uses radio telescopes to listen for narrow-bandwidth radio signals from space. Such signals are not known to occur naturally, so a detection would provide evidence of extraterrestrial technology.
Radio telescope signals consist primarily of noise (from celestial sources and the receiver's electronics) and man-made signals such as TV stations, radar, and satellites. Modern radio SETI projects analyze the data digitally. More computing power enables searches to cover greater frequency ranges with more sensitivity. Radio SETI, therefore, has an insatiable appetite for computing power.
Previous radio SETI projects have used special-purpose supercomputers, located at the telescope, to do the bulk of the data analysis. In 1995, David Gedye proposed doing radio SETI using a virtual supercomputer composed of large numbers of Internet-connected computers, and he organized the SETI@home project to explore this idea. SETI@home was originally launched in May 1999.
The Problem — Mountains of Data
|Most of the SETI programs in existence today, including those at UC Berkeley build large computers that analyze that data from the telescope in real time. None of these computers look very deeply at the data for weak signals nor do they look for a large class of signal types (which we'll discuss further on...) The reason for this is because they are limited by the amount of computer power available for data analysis. To tease out the weakest signals, a great amount of computer power is necessary. It would take a monstrous supercomputer to get the job done. SETI programs could never afford to build or buy that computing power. There is a trade-off that they can make. Rather than a huge computer to do the job, they could use a smaller computer but just take longer to do it. But then there would be lots of data piling up. What if they used LOTS of small computers, all working simultaneously on different parts of the analysis? Where can the SETI team possibly find thousands of computers they'd need to analyze the data continuously streaming from Arecibo?
The UC Berkeley SETI team has discovered that there are already thousands of computers that might be available for use. Most of these computers sit around most of the time with toasters flying across their screens accomplishing absolutely nothing and wasting electricity to boot. This is where SETI@home (and you!) come into the picture. The SETI@home project hopes to convince you to allow us to borrow your computer when you aren't using it and to help us "…search out new life and new civilizations." We'll do this with a screen saver that can go get a chunk of data from us over the internet, analyze that data, and then report the results back to us. When you need your computer back, our screen saver instantly gets out of the way and only continues it's analysis when you are finished with your work.It's an interesting and difficult task. There's so much data to analyze that it seems impossible! Fortunately, the data analysis task can be easily broken up into little pieces that can all be worked on separately and in parallel. None of the pieces depends on the other pieces. Also, there is only a finite amount of sky that can be seen from Arecibo. In the next two years the entire sky as seen from the telescope will be scanned three times. We feel that this will be enough for this project. By the time we've looked at the sky three times, there will be new telescopes, new experiments, and new approaches to SETI. We hope that you will be able to participate in them too!
Data will be recorded on high-density tapes at the Arecibo telescope in Puerto Rico, filling about one 35 Gbyte DLT tape per day. Because Arecibo does not have a high bandwidth Internet connection, the data tape must go by snail-mail to Berkeley. The data is then divided into 0.25 Mbyte chunks (which we call "work-units"). These are sent from the Seti@Home server over the Internet to people around the world to analyze.
Extra Credit Section: How the data is broken up
SETI@home looks at 2.5 MHz of data, centered at 1420 MHz. This is still too broad a spectrum to send to you for analysis, so we break this spectrum space up into 256 pieces, each 10 kHz wide (more like 9766 Hz, but we'll simplify the numbers to make calculations easier to see). This is done with a software program called the "splitter". These 10 kHz pieces are now more manageable in size. To record signals up to 10 KHz you have to record the bits at 20,000 bits per second (kbps). (This is called the Nyquist frequency.) We send you about 107 seconds of this 10 kHz (20kbps) data. 100 seconds times 20,000 bits equals 2,000,000 bits, or about 0.25 megabyte given that there are 8 bits per byte. Again, we call this 0.25 megabyte chunk a "work-unit." We also send you lots of additional info about the work-unit, so the total comes out to about 340 kbytes of data.
Sending You the Data
SETI@home connects only when transferring data. This occurs only when the screen saver has finished analyzing the work-unit and wants to send back the results (and get another work-unit.) We'll only do this with your permission and allow you to control when your computer connects to us or, we'll give you the option to set the screen saver to transfer data automatically as soon as it's done with the current work-unit. The data transmission lasts for less than 5 minutes with most common modems and we'll disconnect immediately after all data is transferred.
We keep track of the work-units here in Berkeley with a large database. When the work-units are returned to us, they are merged back into the database and marked "done." Our computers look for a new work-unit for you to process and send it out, marking it "in progress" in the database. We send out each work unit multiple times in order to make sure that the data is processed correctly. Even properly operating computers can make mistakes from time to time. If you are unable to complete a work unit, or your computer crashes and you lose your result, don't worry. The data isn't lost.
What is SETI@home Looking For?
|So, what will you be doing for us? What exactly will you be looking for in the data? The easiest way to answer that question is to ask what we expect extraterrestrials to send. We expect that they would want to send us a signal in the most efficient manner for THEM that would allow US to easily detect the message. Now, it turns out that sending a message on many frequencies is not efficient. It takes lots of power. If one concentrates the power of the message into a very narrow frequency range (narrow bandwidth) the signal is easier to weed out from the background noise. This is especially important since we assume that they are far enough away that their signal will be very weak by the time it gets to us. So, we're not looking for a broadband signal (spread over many frequencies), we're looking for a very specific frequency message. The SETI@home screen saver acts like tuning your radio set to various channels, and looking at the signal strength meter. If the strength meter goes up, that gets our attention.
Another factor that helps reject local (earth-based and satellite-based) signals is that local sources are more or less constant. They maintain their intensity over time. On the other hand, the Arecibo telescope is fixed in position. When SETI@home is in operation, the telescope does not track the stars. Because of this, the sky "drifts" past the focus of the telescope. It typically takes about 12 seconds for a target to cross the focus (or "target beam") of the dish. We therefore expect an extraterrestrial signal to get louder and then softer over a 12 second period. Since we are looking for this 12 second "gaussian" signal, we send you about 100 seconds of data. Also, we allow the data in the work-units to overlap a little so we won't miss an important signal by cutting it off early in the analysis.
|Let's look at and some examples!
|This graph (typical of the others below) shows time progressing along the horizontal X-axis. The vertical Y-axis represents the frequency, or pitch, of the signal. Here you see a broadband signal. Many frequencies all mixed together. Note that the signal starts out weak (dim) at the left, and gets louder (brighter), reaching a maximum in the center of the graph 6 seconds later, fading out over the next 6 seconds. This is what we would expect from an extra-terrestrial signal as it drifts past the telescope. Unfortunately, we are not looking for broadband sources. This is probably what a star or other natural astronomical source would look like. Broadband sources are rejected.
|This is more what we're looking for. Here you can see the signal is much narrower in frequency range. It also gets stronger and weaker over a 12 second period. We don't know how narrow the bandwidth will be, so we'll check for signals at several bandwidths.
|If our stellar friends are trying to put actual information on their signal (very likely), the signal will almost certainly be pulsed. We'll be looking for this too.
|Because planets rotate, both the extraterrestial transmitter and our telescope are movin in circular paths around the axis of their planet. This motion shows up as a changing relative speed during the course of the observation. Because of this, there is likely to be a "doppler shifting" or changing frequency, of the signal because of our relative motions. This might cause the signal to rise or fall in frequency slightly over the 12 seconds. These are called "chirped" signals. We'll check for this too.
|Of course, we'll also be checking for a doppler shifting (chirped) signal that contains pulses too!
Extra Credit Section: More detail on the analysis
The SETI@home software searches for signals about 10 times weaker than the SERENDIP IV search at Arecibo, because it makes use of a computationally intensive algorithm called "coherent integration." No one else (including the SERENDIP program) has had the computing power to implement this method. Your computer performs fast fourier transforms on the data, looking for strong signals at various combinations of frequency, bandwidth, and chirp rates. The following steps are taken on each of the work-units you get from us.
|Let's look first at the most computationally intensive portion of the calculation. The first job is to "de-chirp" the data - that is, to remove all the effects of the doppler acceleration. At the finest resolution, we have to do this a total of 20,000 times, from -10 Hz/sec to +10 Hz/sec in steps of .002 Hz/sec. At each chirp-rate, the 107 seconds of data is de-chirped and then divided into 8 blocks of 13.375 seconds each. Each 13.375 second block is then examined with a bandwidth of .07 Hz for peaks (that's 131,072 tests (frequencies) per block per chirp rate!) This is a LOT of calculation! In this first step, you computer does about 200 billion calculations! We drop a few tests between 10 Hz/sec and 50 Hz/sec.
We're not finished, we still have to test other bandwidths too. The next step doubles the bandwidth to 0.15 Hz. We only have to examine 1/4 the number of rates due to the increase in bandwidth. We end up doing about 1/4 the amount of work we did above at the highest resolution narrow bandwidth, or about 50 billion calculations. Piece of cake...
|The next step doubles the bandwidth again (from 0.15 to 0.3 Hz) and again reduces the chirps by 1/4. This step (and all successive steps) take 1/4 the calculation of the previous step. In this case only 12.5 billion calculations. This continues for a total of 14 doublings of bandwidth (0.07, 0.15, 0.3, 0.6, 1.2, 2.5, 5, 10, 20, 40, 75, 150, 300, 600, and 1200 Hz) to bring you to a grand total of slightly more than 275 billion operations on the 107 seconds of data. As you can see we actually do most of our work at the narrowest bandwidth (about 70% of the work.)
Finally, signals that show a strong power at some particular combination of frequency, bandwidth and chirp are subjected to a test for terrestrial interference. Only if the power rises and then falls over a 12 second period (the time it takes the telescope to pass a spot in the sky) can the signal be tentatively considered extra-terrestrial in nature. Spikes (shorts radio bursts) above a threshold value are also recorded.
Finding pulsed signals
All the above work is done just to find a continuous extraterrestrial signal - one that's "always on", or an intense pulses. What if our alien friends are trying to signal us with a series of regularly spaced pulses? That means that we must also look for a signal that regularly varies in power over time. SETI@home applies two different tests. One of these tests looks for pulse triplets that are relatively strong. The other test looks for lots of equally spaced, but weak pulses.
The triplet test is pretty simple. For every frequency slice in the spectrum, the computer looks for pulses above a certain threshold value. This threshold is set at a reasonable value so as to reveal a reasonable number of pulses, yet not overwhelm us with noise that would cause us useless calculation. For every pair of pulses above the threshold, the screensaver looks for a pulse exactly in between the two. If it finds one, the screensaver logs it and sends the data back to Berkeley. The screen saver does this intelligently, so that it does not repeat itself in trying ALL pairs. Remember that it must do this for EVERY frequency slice in your 10kHz sample!
The second pulse detection method is a little more complicated. It was developed specially by the SETI@home team just for this purpose. It's called a "fast folding algorithm." Again we do this analysis on every frequency slice in your 10kHz piece of data. This method was designed to detect lots of small repeating pulses in the data. These small pulses may be weak enough to seem lost in the noise and be undetectable. We start by selecting a frequency slice from the data set to examine. We now look at this power vs. time data for the pulses. The screensaver slices up the data into uniform sized time chunks and adds the chunks all together. If the size of the time chunk is the same as (or a multiple of) the period of the pulses, all the pulses will add one on top of the other and we will see the pulses grow out of the noise. The hard part here is that we must guess the correct size for the time slice. Since we have no idea what the frequency of the pulses might be, we have to try ALL the various time periods. Again, the algorithm does this in such a way that it will not repeat work already done. If repeating pulses are found, they are logged and sent back to Berkeley. How long should all these computations take? An average, current model home home computer should take between 10 and 50 hours to complete one work-unit. This assumes that the computer ONLY works on SETI@home.
Depending on how the telescope was moving when the work unit was recorded, your computer will do between 2.4 trillion and 3.8 trillion mathematical operations (flops or floating point operations in technical jargon) to complete its work.
Now you know why we need your help!
What If My Computer Discovers E.T.? What happens?
Before we can get to the "what happens" part, we should let you know more about the "what if" part. One of the most important things to know about this data and the results of your analysis is that there are LOTS of sources of radio signals. Many are produced here on earth. TV stations, radar, various other microwave transmitters. Satellites and many astronmical objects are also sources. There are also "test signals" that are intentionally injected into the system so the SETI@home team can confirm that the hardware and software is working properly at all points through the system. The Arecibo radio telescope will pick up all these signals and happily send them along to your screen saver. The radio telescope doesn't care about any of these signals just as your ear doesn't care about what sounds it collects. Your screen saver is going to sift through the signals looking for any source that is "louder" that the background and also rises and falls in 12 seconds - the time the telescope takes to pass over a spot in the sky.
Any signals that qualify will be sent back to the Berkeley SETI@home team for further analysis. The SETI@home team maintains a large database of known radio-frequency interference (RFI) sources. This database is constantly updated. At this point 99.9999% of all the signals that your screen saver detects will be thrown out as RFI. Test signals are also removed at this point.
Remaining unresolved signals are then checked against another observation from the same part of the sky. This could take up to 6 months since the SETI@home team does not have control of the telescope. If the signal is confirmed, the SETI@home team will request dedicated telescope time and will re-observe the most interesting candidates.
If a signal is observed two or more times, and it's not RFI or a test signal, the SETI@home team will ask another group to take a look. This other group will be using different telescopes, receivers, computers, etc. This will hopefully rule out a bug in our equipment or our computer code (or a clever student playing a prank...) Together with the other team, SETI@home will do interferometry measurements (it takes two observations seperated by a big distance) This can confirm that the source of the signal is at interstellar distances.
If this is confirmed, SETI@home will make an announcement in the form of an IAU (International Astronomical Union) telegram. This is a standard way of informing the astronomical community of important discoveries. The telegram contains all of the important information (frequencies, bandwidth, location in the sky, etc.) that would be necessary for other astronomical groups to confirm the observation. The person(s) who found the signal with their screen saver would be named as one of the co-discoverers along with the others on the SETI@home team. At this point we would still be unsure if the signal was generated by an intelligent civilization or maybe some new astronomical phenomenon.
All information about the discovery will be made public, probably via the web. No country or individual would be allowed to jam the frequency the signal is observed on. Since the object will rise and set as seen from any given location, observations from radio observatories around the world will be necessary. This will, by necessity, be a multi-national effort. All this information will be made public.
Because of this protocol, it is important that participants in the SETI@home project do not get excited when they see signals on their screen and go off on their own making announcements and calling the press. This could be very damaging to the project. It's important that we keep our heads cool and our computers hot while they grind away at the data. We can all hope that we will be the one that helps receive the signal of some extraterrestrial civilization trying to "phone home."

One of my ex-girlfriends had a wonderful pair of large breasts. Beautiful creamy white orbs, capped with bubble gum pink nipples that were perfect for nibbling on, and I fucking loved them.
She happened to have a best friend back in her home town that she talked to - and about - constantly. Up until a year into our relationship, I only knew her friend from her stories, her Myspace page, and the photos my ex showed me when they vacationed in Vegas just before we met. She was very attractive - brunette (whereas my ex is a blonde..), bright blue eyes (like my ex…), and boobs that appeared to be at least a full cup larger than my ex's.
During a night of sushi and drinking, my ex revealed to me - totally out of the blue - that she has fantasized about having sex with her best friend, and has had that fantasy for some time. She had long ago confessed to masturbating to lesbian porn on occasion, and had never really thought of herself as "bi" until a her confession to me. She asked if I thought she was weird, and I replied, "Are you friggin' kidding me? That's beautiful."
I really don't think she understood that I was hoping to witness the event - if it ever ended up happening at all.
I did meet her friend a few months later, and I couldn't keep my eyes and thoughts off of her breasts. I never saw those tits bare, but I did see them in a swimsuit, hard nipples and all.
Three years after breaking up, and I still masturbate thinking about what it would look like if my ex actually had her deepest fantasy fulfilled.
I once saw a girl who had a tattoo right above her cooter in the shape of a kitschy diner sign, like one of those elaborate neon jobs that were common at greasy-spoon joints back in the 1950s. The artist was pretty good, and made it look as though the neon tubes were aglow, advertising, "All You Can Eat!", and that her pussy was "Open 24/7", complete with light bulb festooned arrows pointing the way to her pink buffet.
I thought it was genius. A direct message, "Eat me!" And it was an elaborate and fun way to get to the fucking point. Why else would you be close enough to her pussy to read it?
Anyway, this young lady's cute tattoo is just as direct, but advertising something else entirely. And instead of arrows, she's got tiny little animal footprints leading the way. Beaver tracks, maybe?
Seems to me that whenever you see three sexy young ladies together, and they're wearing nothing but underwear, something fun is about to happen - and the boys are not invited.
Its cool, though. Sometimes, girls need pussy, too, you know.

Sanctuary Blog
by Tim Ajax, Director
Born Free USA Primate Sanctuary
Some people monkey around a little, some people monkey around a lot, and then there's Tim. He's a prince among primates, presiding over hundreds of fellow bipeds in the often-brutal Texas outdoors. There's no ape escape for Tim and his crew, but no matter. They love to help macaques, baboons and vervets live out their lives with as much freedom as possible. And like peeling a banana, Tim's blogs take you to the good stuff inside — with a steady supplement of Texas weather updates, of course!
A new building for the Sanctuary
A busy week for the Sanctuary. Work has started on the construction of a much needed utility building. This will help make day-to-day work at the Sanctuary much smoother. The building will contain a new monkey food preparation area.
Temperatures have been very mild ... and still no rain. This combined with the natural loss of greenery at this time of year has made for a very dry landscape.
Communication between Loekey and the three boys continues to be encouraging. This week I noticed Oscar grooming Loekey through the partition between the two enclosures. Oscar rarely deigns to "stoop" to grooming, preferring to be the recipient of this attention, so this is particularly promising. The next stage in the introduction process will be to open up the partitions and enable the four monkeys to have direct contact.
Lots of great food this week, including avocados and raspberries. Also, green onions, something that all the monkeys enjoy. They tuck into the root and discard the stems. As I walk around the Sanctuary, the strong smell of onions pervades the air.
Until next time,

Deliver the assessment this way, she said: "You are a valued member of our team, but I need to tell you that your outfits are not in line with our company policy. I am telling you this because you have such great potential, and I want you to succeed."
Young people are often taking their fashion cues from their peers and not looking to the people who could be mentoring them.
"And I honestly believe in working with these college students," said Everding. "They are so hungry for guidance, and the more you give them, the more they appreciate it. But they won't go looking for it for themselves, it seems."
Think of it as a financial decision, said Gould. "If someone told you that you could command a higher salary or get promoted by dressing a certain way, would you do it?"
Lanzoni emailed a supervisor at National Geographic and asked what was appropriate workplace attire, but she was still nervous her first week.
"I was actually the most conservative of anyone," she said. So she loosened up a bit, wearing the occasional long skirts and neck scarves.
But never, ever flip-flops at the office.
"I leave my flats at my desk and I walk home in my flip-flops," she said. "I don't think my feet would make it any other way."
Sartorial smarts
We tapped experts and our own observations for workplace fashion tips for interns and college graduates. Better to go conservative until you know the culture:
• No flip-flops. Ever. No Tevas. No strappy sandals and no toe or ankle jewelry. For women: No open-toed shoes unless you have a good pedicure.
• The less skin the better. Skirts to the knee. Nothing sleeveless without a cardigan or a jacket. No cleavage. "Modest is hottest," said Callista Gould of the Culture and Manners Institute. "Dress so people respect you, not inspect you."
• No sundresses, tube tops or bare midriffs. Nothing too tight or form fitting.
• Not everyone has to wear a charcoal suit. Lighter versions of gray, blue and taupe are fine. "Let your personality do the shining," says Callista Gould. "Don't let your clothes shout you down."
• If you must have brighter colors, make sure the clothes are very traditional cuts. And pair strong color blocks with a neutral color. Don't wear them together.
• Piercings anywhere but the ears of women should be removed and tattoos hidden.
• Jewelry should be simple and traditional.
• Save the golf shirts for the golf course, the tennis shoes for the tennis and basketball courts, and the Hawaiian shirts for the beach.
• Shorts, even paired with a suit jacket, come up short in the workplace.
• Fine-gauge T-shirts under a suit jacket can be acceptable for men, but no V-necks. Chest hair on men can be a turn-off in the workplace. And nothing with slogans or ads.
• And everybody: Save the neon colors for the disco.

Push-ups are a great way to target the upper body and can be adapted in a number of different ways. You can do these on the floor either on your feet or with your knees down to make it easier. You can also do them standing up with your hands placed on a table or maybe a window sill. Place your hands wide and slowly lower your chest between your hands and push back up to the top. You can also do the same move but with your hands shoulder width apart and as you lower your body make sure your elbows are squeezing in towards you.

When you're out looking for a trophy buck and finally stumble on one, you don't want to leave your shot to chance. It could be the only shot you get to take the whole day, so don't let your trophy run away because you misjudged distance and shot too low. Getting a quality rangefinder will help you avoid that frustrated feeling you get when you mess up your shot and your trophy gets away.
Everyone has guidelines for what will make a good rangefinder, but when you're crouched in the brush and there's a trophy white tail buck nearby, you want to take the best shot possible. A big part of that is knowing how far away you are from your target. Some of the rangefinders in the list also calculate the anticipated distance the shot will travel based on the angle that the animal is headed, or the slope of the hill (up or down) that the animal be on. Angle and slope calculation can sometimes be difference between hauling something back to the truck and a story of getting so close and coming home with nothing after a near miss. No one wants that, and that's where the rangefinder comes in.
The chart below lists more than 40 different rangefinders that you can choose from. There are a lot of rangefinders to choose from, but we are here to help you get the best information possible. The table below in our handy rangefinder guide has the following characteristics:
- Brand name and model
- Picture
- Maximum Distance
- Magnification
- Price (price of course will vary, but we have arranged them from low ($) to high ($$$$). These prices do vary based on sales at amazon and some other things, but generally, $ will be $100-$200, $$ is $200-$300, $$$ is $300-$600, and $$$$ is anything above $600.

Criminal Parents Publicly Humiliated
Deadbeat moms and dads could face humiliating consequences.
Parents who don't pay child support in Virginia may be subjected to a humiliating consequence: Having their photo and personal information placed on a public "Most Wanted List."
Recently, eight men and one woman who evaded paying a combined total of $523,000 in child support are on Virginia's latest list.
Each offender is profiled on an online poster compiled by the Virginia Department of Social Services. The poster lists each person's photograph, physical description, last known address, occupation and the amount of child support owed.
The current culprits include a painter, car salesman and quality assurance inspector. They owe child support ranging from $177,401 for one child to $23,304 for two.
Many of the non-custodial parents have relocated, but they won't get off scot-free -- Virginia has reciprocal agreements with every state in the nation and 25 countries.
Click here to see the current offenders.
First of all, none of the people on this list have been charged with ANY CRIME relating to child support.
Second of all, the woman and the man who's last name is Raines (pictured, far left) BOTH have void and unenforceable orders in the court files, precipitated by non-attorney employees of DCSE having illegally signed legal pleadings which caused the orders to be issued.
That is a crime in Virginia.
Wonderful my ex owes me 14 years of back child support at $589 a month, do the math! He keeps disappearing so he doesn't have to pay. It is criminal! Something like this might just embarrass him into paying. Wish we lived in Virginia!
Several questions come to mind in reading this. First, why are these people not paying? Understand that true deadbeat parents are distasteful to me and should suffer some major consequences.
However, I am not sure the government always does the right thing here. And they should be very careful before they publicly humiliate someone.
Have any of them been denied parental rights by the other parent? Not a good reason to not support your child, but if I were denied visitation for no good reason I would consider holding the support.
Lots of unanswered questions here. Sometimes even the courts get it wrong.
A problem with this is that the dads who Do pay child support, but something happens and hard times come up and they lose their job or whatever, it gives them a bad name, even tho they ARE trying their hardest.

This game is brilliant.
It has good graphics, its sucked me in completely, the difficulty isnt too hard/easy (apart from the first boss, it had me wondering whether or not I was supposed to kill it or just die).
My only worry is that it won't have such a great lifespan, but I believe this game will deliver. Its even better than some console games I've played :)

Awesome free flash adventure- however, I won't pay $15.99 to play more. It would need to be a lot more cutting-edge to pull a fancy restaurant tab out of my wallet. Otherwise, this is, however solid, something you'd find in a Playstation bargain bin.
Knock it down to the price of fast food and you'll have my interest- until then, I look forward to the next free flash you make.

Here are some of the latest health and medical news
developments, compiled by the editors of HealthDay:
Costco Cheese Implicated in E. Coli Outbreak: FDA
Gouda cheese sold at Costco stores has been linked to an E. coli
outbreak in which 25 people have become ill, says the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration.
The Bravo Farms Dutch Style Raw Milk Gouda Cheese was offered
for sale and in-store tasting at Costco stores in Arizona,
California, Colorado, New Mexico and Nevada between October 5 and
November 8,
CNN reported.
Consumers with the cheese (Costco item 40654) should dispose of
it in a closed plastic bag and place it in a sealed trash can, the
FDA recommended. Costco is also offering refunds to people who
return the cheese.
Bloody diarrhea, stomach cramps and dehydration are among the
symptoms of E. coli. In extreme cases, patients can suffer kidney
failure. The FDA said people who believe they have E. coli symptoms
should contact a health care provider,
CNN reported.
Britax Recalls 23,000 Infant Car Seats
About 23,000 infant care seats that may have faulty harness
clips are being recalled by Britax Child Safety Inc. of Charlotte,
The clip on the chest of car seats can break loose and pose a
laceration or choking hazard, says the U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission, the
Associated Press reported.
So far, Britax has received three reports of cuts and scratches
and one report of a child placing a broken clip in his mouth.
The Chinese-made seats were sold across the U.S. and on the
Britax website from June 2009 to October 2010, the
AP reported.

Did U.N. Peacekeepers Trigger Haiti Cholera Outbreak?
The cholera outbreak in Haiti that has killed at least 442
people may have been caused by United Nations peacekeepers,
according to experts.
The outbreak involves a strain of cholera that matches strains
found in South Asia, says the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention. But the CDC, the United Nations and the World Health
Organization claim it's not possible to pinpoint the source of the
outbreak and further attempts to do so would harm efforts to combat
the outbreak, the
Associated Press reported.
But experts say determining the source of the outbreak is
possible and important in order to prevent future deaths.
The strain of cholera in the Haiti outbreak is a new, virulent
strain previously not seen in the Western Hemisphere, according to
cholera expert John Mekalanos, chairman of the microbiology
department at Harvard University.
Evidence suggests that Nepalese soldiers with the U.N.
peacekeeping force brought the strain with them when they arrived
in Haiti in early October, Mekalanos told the
"The organism that is causing the disease is very uncharacteristic of (Haiti and the Caribbean), and is quite characteristic of the region from where the soldiers in the base came," Mekalanos explained. "I don't see there is any way to avoid the conclusion that an unfortunate and presumably accidental introduction of the organism occurred."
Listeria Found in Texas Food Plant: FDA
A Texas food-processing plant has tested positive for bacteria
linked to listeriosis-related illnesses, including four deaths, the
U.S. Food and Drug Administration said Wednesday.
The SanGar Fresh Cut Produce plant in San Antonio was ordered
closed Oct. 20 by state health officials and the company was told
to recall all products shipped from the plant since January,
CNN reported.
Health authorities took the action after state health laboratory
findings showed
Listeria monocytogenes in chopped celery at the plant. The
bacteria can cause severe illness.
The FDA inspected the plant on Oct. 26 and found the same
bacteria in processed celery and in a number of locations
throughout the plant. The FDA said the listeria it found "matches
the DNA fingerprint of the clinical cases of listeriosis reported
by the Texas Department of State Health Services,"
CNN reported.
Tests conducted by an independent lab hired by SanGar came back
negative for listeria, said a lawyer for the company.
