Earnings Preview: Microsoft reports after Windows 10 arrives, Ballmer exits
Microsoft (MSFT) is scheduled to report its first quarter of fiscal year 2015 results after the market close on Thursday, October 23, with a conference call scheduled for 5:30 pm ET. Microsoft, a member of the Dow Jones Industrial Average, sells and licenses software to consumers and businesses, offers cloud computing and other business services, and markets hardware including the Xbox entertainment system, the Surface tablet and Windows smartphones. EXPECTATIONS: Analysts are looking for earnings per share of 49c on revenue of $22.02B, according to First Call. The consensus range for EPS is 40c-59c on revenue of $21.53B-$22.82B. On its last earnings call, Microsoft said it sees Q1 licensing revenue of $4.1B-$4.2B, Computing and Gaming revenue of $1.7B-$2B, Phone and Hardware revenue of $1.9B-$2.3B, D&C other revenue of $1.8B-$1.9B, Commercial segment 2 sectors revenue of $12B-$12.2B and Commercial other revenue of $2.2B-2.3B. Microsoft noted that it expects its Q1 unearned revenue to grow in-line with normal seasonality. LAST QUARTER: On July 22, Microsoft reported fourth quarter EPS of 55c, missing the consensus analyst forecast of 60c. It's revenue came in at $23.38B, topping the consensus estimate of $23B. Microsoft reported that its Q4 devices and consumer revenue grew 42% to $10B, commercial revenue rose 11% to $13.48B, that Windows volume licensing revenue grew 11% and that Server products revenue, including Azure, grew 16%. The acquired Phone Hardware business contributed $1.99B to current year revenue, Microsoft added. NEWS: On August 1, Microsoft announced in a blog post that it had filed legal action against Samsung (SSNLF) in a U.S. District Court to enforce the companies' 2011 cross-licensing contract. Microsoft alleged Samsung decided late last year to stop complying with its agreement, claiming that in September 2013, after Microsoft announced it was acquiring the Nokia (NOK) devices and services business, Samsung began using the acquisition as an excuse to breach its contract. On August 19, Microsoft's former CEO Steve Ballmer announced his intention to step down immediately from the company's board. Ballmer wrote, "Given my confidence and the multitude of new commitments I am taking on now, I think it would be impractical for me to continue to serve on the board, and it is best for me to move off... I hold more Microsoft shares than anyone other than index funds and love the mix of profits, investments and dividends returned in our stock. I expect to continue holding that position for the foreseeable future." In September, Microsoft agreed to acquire Mojang, the developer of Minecraft, for $2.5B. Microsoft said then that it expects the acquisition to be break-even in FY15 on a GAAP basis. The next day, Microsoft increased its dividend by 3c, or 11%, to 31c per share. At the end of last month, Microsoft unveiled its next Windows operating system, Windows 10, and gave a first look at an early technical preview for the PC available Oct. 1. The familiar Start menu is back, and apps from the Windows Store now open in the same format that desktop programs do, the company reported. Terry Myerson, EVP of the Operating Systems group at Microsoft, said, "This will be our most comprehensive operating system and the best release Microsoft has ever done for our business customers, and we look forward to working together with our broader Windows community to bring Windows 10 to life in the months ahead." STREET RESEARCH: On the day after the company's last quarterly report, Pacific Crest upgraded Microsoft to Outperform from Sector Perform, citing its progress in the cloud and lower risks from its Nokia deal. Pacific Crest placed a $54 price target on the stock. On the day after Steve Ballmer stepped down from Microsoft's board, FBR Capital said it viewed that development as a positive that left the company with a "clean sheet of paper." The firm believes the "Ballmer overhang" was removed and it kept an Outperform rating and $51 price target on Microsoft shares. On the day after the company's Windows 10 launch event, analyst at Cowen said they believed Microsoft struck the right balance of new features and traditional feel by returning to a Win7-style interface and bringing back the Start menu but retaining some of Win8's visual flare and touch features. Pricing was not mentioned at the company's event, but Cowen said it does not expect any significant changes and does not "for one moment believe" that Windows 10 will be a free upgrade for Win8 users on larger screens. The firm maintained its Market Perform rating on Microsoft. Most recently, Bernstein said it believes that Microsoft's cloud business continues to grow, and it expects adoption of the company's cloud products to accelerate this quarter. The firm reiterated a $56 price target and Outperform rating on the stock. PRICE ACTION: Since the day after its last report, Microsoft shares are fractionally higher. In afternoon trading ahead of tonight's report, Microsoft is up 2.35% to $45.42 per share.

Cisco sale of VCE stake to have limited impact, says Wells Fargo
Wells Fargo thinks Cisco's (CSCO) decision to sell a portion of its stake in VCE is unlikely to have a material near-to-intermediate-term impact on the company's top line since it will continue to sell its networking and compute solutions to the joint venture. Wells says Cisco's "budding" partnerships with NetApp (NTAP), Microsoft (MSFT) and Citrix (CTXS) should more than offset any potential impacts from lessening ties to EMC (EMC) and VMware (VMW).

Learning Curve
22 comments:
such incentive Lee. Your friend's pillow looks very at home in her sunroomReplyDelete
I agree with you about the desire to learn and the skill required. However, I am crafty, but I don't think I am creative! To me that takes something special!ReplyDelete
Great post. I agree about the motivation/desire for sure.ReplyDelete
agreed! whole heartedly!ReplyDelete
What a great post. Your friend is lucky to have someone as encouraging and generous with her talents as you in her life. :)ReplyDelete
Yes I agree about the motivation. sometime you have to stop standing on the sidelines and dive in and try something newReplyDelete
I taught some friends to crochet when they were staying with me in summer. We all got so much pleasure from it - they learning, and me passing on my skills. I agree with Patchwork and play though - I have the skills to make something, but I don't feel I have the imagination to create something original - I tend to follow patterns.ReplyDelete
great post! i think sometimes it's just finding your niche, too. i tried scrapbooking, card making, knitting...none of those stuck. the only thing that has is sewing/quilting. i was able to teach a friend some sewing basics, and gave her my old machine, and she loves it now! it's such a good feeling to have a hand in a friend's new-found passion.ReplyDelete
yay for spreading the craftiness! Pillow looks great, love that zig zag print!ReplyDelete
i love teaching people to sew! it's always motivating to me!ReplyDelete
your friends pillow is great!
Agreed! I never thought I would be quilting, yet here I am! It is something that is true in every arena, from music to art to well, everything!ReplyDelete
I couldn't agree more. And what a wonderful way to spread crafty goodness. Good for you!!!ReplyDelete
I agree! My mother in law is always telling me that she's not creative at all, but her baked goods are so wonderful and decorated so beautifully! Everyone is creative in their own way :)ReplyDelete
- AnonymousNovember 22, 2011 at 11:47 AM
I had so much fun making the pillow with you. Thanks again for taking the time to give me a lesson! It was, in my opinion, the perfect way to be introduced to sewing... Plus, I was able to spend time with one of my favorite people!ReplyDelete
I agree so much! Really - you can learn anything you set your mind to!ReplyDelete
Oh it's definitely a motivational thing. I had a bear-making friend recently tell me she couldn't make a bag, as she didn't have the skills. I told her that anyone that could do the intricate curves and 3D work involved in a bear, could tackle a bag no bother at all! I'll probably still end up making her the bag though lolReplyDelete
It's funny, but that's what I was talking about with my Mum just a few days ago, although I'm afraid I wasn't able to sum it up so neatly :)ReplyDelete
Your thinking is exactly what makes me laugh when people say "Oh, Kelli's so crafty. I could never sew/knit/etc like she does." Of course they could...they just don't have the desire to.ReplyDelete
Great post. Cute pillow. I mentor a 6th grader, and she and I made a pillow today. She was so excited to use the sewing machine, and even wanted to learn to do hand sewing -- and very happy with her finished pillow, red, aqua and white. She wants to sew at our next session, too. She said, "We both like to sew. And we're GOOD at it!"ReplyDelete
Concerning my talent for sports: I'll never become an olympian nor a champion of any sport activity (and I'm unhappy about because my son is such a sportive man, he has the perfect body for any men's health cover). Even if he would motivate me, take me with him to walking, jogging or bodybuilding, having all the patience needed to get a couchpotatoe to exercises - I won't become a sports woman. I can accept it. I do that much which is fun - playing badminton, doing my yoga, hiking or a bit jogging. Couldn't it be the same with craft skills? - So I'm glad about every sewing companion who has fun and guess what: my sweetheart became one of my sewing buddies...ReplyDelete

text: I think GD is right on track, forget the numbers, find what fits you best and where you shoot the best, and leave it there. Both my Onzas draw long, so I just have them set where I like them, and shoot. When you measure your own draw length (27), are you just going by the modules, or by actual measuring? Could be you have the mods set at 27, but the bow draws an actual 29. Either way, just shoot it set at however you shoot best, and enjoy it.

Swiss national road champion Martin Kohler represented the BMC Racing Team in Wednesday's four-man breakaway that enjoyed more than 160 kilometers of freedom at the Volta a Catalunya before being brought back on the final climb.
'My Shape Is Getting Better'
Kohler and his three breakaway companions – Karol Domagalski (Caja Rural), Nicolas Edet (Cofidis, Solutions Credits) Lucas Haedo (Cannondale Pro Cycling) – led by nearly seven minutes before being reeled in on the lower slopes of the 12 km climb to the summit. "I was pretty sure that the chance to go for the finish was small," Kohler said. "But in the beginning we were just riding to go in the breakaway and it happened once again for me. I was feeling good. I'm pretty happy that my shape is getting better. But in the end, the long mountain-top finish was difficult for sure." Nairo Quintana attacked in the final few hundred meters to win the stage, six seconds ahead of his Movistar teammate, Alejandro Valverde, who took the race lead. Steve Morabito was the BMC Racing Team's best finisher in 21st place, 32 seconds behind. BMC Racing Team Assistant Director Max Sciandri said Thursday's stage – which finishes with an 18.9-km climb to another mountain-top finish – will be even harder. "There's 4,000 meters of climbing, so it will be a tough one," he said.

Venice Travel Tips
Venice Vacation Rentals for Beach Lovers
Southwest Florida has many vacation-worthy areas to offer beach lovers. Located in Sarasota County with a perfect year-round climate, Venice is one of the nicest spots in south Florida. And Venice vacation rentals, offering privacy, extra space and amenities, make a tropical getaway even nicer.
Venice Beaches
In addition to lovely beaches, Venice is known as the shark-tooth finding capital of Florida. More fossilized sharks teeth are found here than anywhere! The beaches in southwest Florida are numerous; if you are a beach-lover, make sure you allot plenty of time for exploring.
The longest and most secluded beach in Sarasota County is Casperson Beach, which has been left in its natural state rather than being commercialized. If you love to snorkel, the Venice Municipal Beach is the place to go, with a beautiful coral reef just one mile off shore. Just a short drive from the Municipal Beach, the Service Club Park offers a quiet beach with interesting boardwalks that span saw palmettos. For a great family beach, head over to Nokomis Beach, one of the quietest beaches in Venice, offering a boat launch and calm waters. The beach at South Jetty is a popular surf spot. Meanwhile, dog lovers will appreciate the friendliest dog park in the state: Brohard Paw Park on Harbor Drive South. Just up the coast are Tampa Bay's beaches.
Planning Your Venice Vacation—Southwest Florida Beach Rentals
When you start planning your vacation, look into Southwest Florida beach rentals, with extra amenities that make a vacation truly more enjoyable. Also look into Venice condos, another affordable option. Instead of renting a cramped hotel room, vacation in style! Venice vacation rentals provide features that hotels do not such as a fully-equipped kitchen, washer and dryer, or private pool, Jacuzzi, and personal chef service.

Review: L-Vis 1990 Presents Dance System Dance System EP
For those who have been following Night Slugs and label co-founder James Connolly (a.k.a. L-Vis 1990) closely over the past year or two, Connolly's new, decidedly Dance Mania-influenced Dance System project is unlikely to come as much of a surprise. The launch of Night Slugs' Club Constructions series in 2012 with L-Vis 1990's own stripped-down, five-track EP clearly signalled the label's interest in mechanistic, hard-driving simplicity, and presented a logical counterpoint to the increasingly cerebral, abstract house mutations the imprint had been offering from the likes of Girl Unit and Jam City. Despite being the label's co-founder (alongside Bok Bok), Connolly's own music has often occupied a strategically tenuous position in relation to Night Slugs, and his career thus far has seen him release records on a diverse array of outside labels, including PMR, Mad Decent, and most recently, Clone's Jack for Daze subsidiary.

The loss leaves the Jaguars (10-7, 2-2 VOL) in third place in the league and puts Sierra (14-3, 4-0) in contention with Weston Ranch for first place.
Except for the first quarter, when Sierra took a 21-9 lead, the teams kept pace with each other through most of the game.
Senior guard DeVante Baisa said the Jaguars have to work on being consistent for the entire game.
"Shots weren't falling, layups weren't going in," Baisa said. "The overall intensity picked up (in the second half). Defense was better and we got more offensive rebounds. That enabled us to get more shots."
Kimball coach Joe Lawrence said Sierra took the early lead when the Timberwolves denied Kimball offensive rebounds.
"That's a well-coached team, and they play hard on defense," Lawrence said. "I was proud of my kids, the way they played tonight. They hung in there the second half and kept fighting the whole time."
Kimball got back into the game in the second quarter with five 3-point shots, including two of Baisa's three 3-pointers. Baisa led the Jaguars with 17 points.
The team totaled nine shots from behind the arc, including three from senior Alex Toledo.
Senior Evan Owens added 11 points and also had eight rebounds, senior Derek Van de Streek scored eight, including one 3-pointer, and junior J.D. Schmidt scored six on two outside shots.

Research Abstract
In this laboratory we study the effects of viruses and bacteria on human health.
For several years we have worked to develop the use of viruses for treatment of cancer. We have developed new strains of herpes viruses and adeno-associated viruses, which are intended to infect human tumors and kill the abnormal cells. Currently we are examining new ways to make these viruses more potent so that they will spread rapidly through a tumor, killing the tumor cells while sparing the healthy cells.
A new project concerns the growing problems of obesity and diabetes in adults. Although these conditions are usually blamed on diet and exercise it was recently reported that several types of animals will gain weight and develop diabetes if they carry specific bacteria in their intestine. We want to find if humans who suffer from obesity and diabetes might have the same bacteria. Recently we started a clinical study in which we recruit volunteers who will be treated for obesity by having weight-loss surgery, and we will find if the results of the surgery are associated with changes in their bacteria. This is being done in collaboration with our local colleagues Drs. R. Weinstock, R. Cooney, T. Kim and H. Simon as well as outside consultants. It is our hope that if we can identify specific intestinal bacteria that are associated with obesity or diabetes, it might not be long before new and better treatments could be developed.

Home > Quiet Power Supplies > Nexus RX-6500 650 Watt 85% Plus Efficiency Quiet Power Supply
Nexus power supplies are designed to provide your PC stable and efficient power to guarantee perfect PC performance. Because of this, Nexus power supplies are one of the quietest power supplies in the market.
Nexus engineers and designers made the RX-6500 the perfect match of components and parts to have a ultra high efficiency, stable and quiet power supply that deserves the Nexus label.
We are proud to offer this amazingly silent Nexus 650 Watt quiet power supply to you: the Nexus RX-6500 Modular Power Supply.
The Nexus RX-6500 power supply is guaranteed to provide you with over 85% efficiency (see graph elsewhere on this page). This means the RX-6500 uses the power it is drawing from the wall outlet more efficiently, and less electricity is wasted. Obviously, this is better for the environment and it saves you on your electricity bill! A more efficient power supply also results in a cooler power supply. So less cooling is needed and less noise is created by a noisy fan.
By carefully selecting each component, Nexus makes their power supplies as silent as possible. Nexus real silent power supplies are leading the market when it comes to solid performance at the lowest possible noise level. When Nexus tests the noise level of their quiet power supplies, they do this in a ISO-certified chamber for noise tests. It is important to know that the background noise in such a chamber is a little over 15 dB(A). These are the best possible conditions for these tests and therefore you should always be wary when a manufacturer is claiming dB(A) values lower then 15 dB(A). How are they able to measure this?
Messy cables interfere too much with the airflow inside your PC. The modular cable design allows you to only connect the connectors you really need. Plus all cables are sleeved with a quality black and white X-mesh for a good, clean look.
Power Factor Correction (PFC) allows the power distribution system to operate at maximum efficiency. This does not so much influence your electricity bill, but it will also reduce energy consumption at the side of the power provider so it is contributing to using our planet's resources more efficiently. Active PFC is technically more complex then passive PFC and matches the overall high quality standard and reliability of the Nexus RX-6500 power supply.
The Nexus RX-6500 power supply can be used on 115VAC and 230VAC input power. Selection is automatically made. No voltage selection has to be set. Just plug in and go.
This power supply has been treated with a special paint. This paint makes the power supply look like it's covered with fibers.
The Nexus RX-6500 quiet power supply is guaranteed to provide you with over 85% efficiency.
This means the power supply is using the power it is drawing from the wall outlet more efficiently, and less electricity is wasted. Obviously this is better for the environment, and it saves you money on your electricity bill!
Also... a more efficient power supply also results in a cooler power supply. So less cooling is needed and we are able to make the power supply even quieter.

What are foodborne illnesses?
Foodborne illnesses are infections or irritations of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract caused by food or beverages that contain harmful bacteria, parasites, viruses, or chemicals. The GI tract is a series of hollow organs joined in a long, twisting tube from the mouth to the anus. Common symptoms of foodborne illnesses include vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, fever, and chills.
Most foodborne illnesses are acute, meaning they happen suddenly and last a short time, and most people recover on their own without treatment. Rarely, foodborne illnesses may lead to more serious complications. Each year, an estimated 48 million people in the United States experience a foodborne illness. Foodborne illnesses cause about 3,000 deaths in the United States annually.1
1Scallan E, Griffin PM, Angulo FJ, Tauxe RV, Hoekstra RM. Foodborne illness acquired in the United States—unspecified agents. Emerging Infectious Diseases. 2011;17(1):16–22.
What causes foodborne illnesses?
The majority of foodborne illnesses are caused by harmful bacteria and viruses.2 Some parasites and chemicals also cause foodborne illnesses.
Bacteria are tiny organisms that can cause infections of the GI tract. Not all bacteria are harmful to humans.
Some harmful bacteria may already be present in foods when they are purchased. Raw foods including meat, poultry, fish and shellfish, eggs, unpasteurized milk and dairy products, and fresh produce often contain bacteria that cause foodborne illnesses. Bacteria can contaminate food—making it harmful to eat—at any time during growth, harvesting or slaughter, processing, storage, and shipping.
Foods may also be contaminated with bacteria during food preparation in a restaurant or home kitchen. If food preparers do not thoroughly wash their hands, kitchen utensils, cutting boards, and other kitchen surfaces that come into contact with raw foods, cross-contamination—the spread of bacteria from contaminated food to uncontaminated food—may occur.
If hot food is not kept hot enough or cold food is not kept cold enough, bacteria may multiply. Bacteria multiply quickly when the temperature of food is between 40 and 140 degrees. Cold food should be kept below 40 degrees and hot food should be kept above 140 degrees. Bacteria multiply more slowly when food is refrigerated, and freezing food can further slow or even stop the spread of bacteria. However, bacteria in refrigerated or frozen foods become active again when food is brought to room temperature. Thoroughly cooking food kills bacteria.
Many types of bacteria cause foodborne illnesses. Examples include
- Salmonella, a bacterium found in many foods, including raw and undercooked meat, poultry, dairy products, and seafood. Salmonella may also be present on egg shells and inside eggs.
- Campylobacter jejuni (C. jejuni), found in raw or undercooked chicken and unpasteurized milk.
- Shigella, a bacterium spread from person to person. These bacteria are present in the stools of people who are infected. If people who are infected do not wash their hands thoroughly after using the bathroom, they can contaminate food that they handle or prepare. Water contaminated with infected stools can also contaminate produce in the field.
- Escherichia coli (E. coli), which includes several different strains, only a few of which cause illness in humans. E. coli O157:H7 is the strain that causes the most severe illness. Common sources of E. coli include raw or undercooked hamburger, unpasteurized fruit juices and milk, and fresh produce.
- Listeria monocytogenes (L. monocytogenes), which has been found in raw and undercooked meats, unpasteurized milk, soft cheeses, and ready-to-eat deli meats and hot dogs.
- Vibrio, a bacterium that may contaminate fish or shellfish.
- Clostridium botulinum (C. botulinum), a bacterium that may contaminate improperly canned foods and smoked and salted fish.
Viruses are tiny capsules, much smaller than bacteria, that contain genetic material. Viruses cause infections that can lead to sickness. People can pass viruses to each other. Viruses are present in the stool or vomit of people who are infected. People who are infected with a virus may contaminate food and drinks, especially if they do not wash their hands thoroughly after using the bathroom.
Common sources of foodborne viruses include
- food prepared by a person infected with a virus
- shellfish from contaminated water
- produce irrigated with contaminated water
Common foodborne viruses include
- norovirus, which causes inflammation of the stomach and intestines
- hepatitis A, which causes inflammation of the liver
Parasites are tiny organisms that live inside another organism. In developed countries such as the United States, parasitic infections are relatively rare.
Cryptosporidium parvum and Giardia intestinalis are parasites that are spread through water contaminated with the stools of people or animals who are infected. Foods that come into contact with contaminated water during growth or preparation can become contaminated with these parasites. Food preparers who are infected with these parasites can also contaminate foods if they do not thoroughly wash their hands after using the bathroom and before handling food.
Trichinella spiralis is a type of roundworm parasite. People may be infected with this parasite by consuming raw or undercooked pork or wild game.
Harmful chemicals that cause illness may contaminate foods such as
- fish or shellfish, which may feed on algae that produce toxins, leading to high concentrations of toxins in their bodies. Some types of fish, including tuna and mahi mahi, may be contaminated with bacteria that produce toxins if the fish are not properly refrigerated before they are cooked or served.
- certain types of wild mushrooms.
- unwashed fruits and vegetables that contain high concentrations of pesticides.

Who gets foodborne illnesses?
Anyone can get a foodborne illness. However, some people are more likely to develop foodborne illnesses than others, including
- infants and children
- pregnant women and their fetuses
- older adults
- people with weak immune systems
These groups also have a greater risk of developing severe symptoms or complications of foodborne illnesses.
What are the symptoms of foodborne illnesses?
Symptoms of foodborne illnesses depend on the cause. Common symptoms of many foodborne illnesses include
- vomiting
- diarrhea or bloody diarrhea
- abdominal pain
- fever
- chills
Symptoms can range from mild to serious and can last from a few hours to several days.
C. botulinum and some chemicals affect the nervous system, causing symptoms such as
- headache
- tingling or numbness of the skin
- blurred vision
- weakness
- dizziness
- paralysis
What are the complications of foodborne illnesses?
Foodborne illnesses may lead to dehydration, hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), and other complications. Acute foodborne illnesses may also lead to chronic—or long lasting—health problems.
When someone does not drink enough fluids to replace those that are lost through vomiting and diarrhea, dehydration can result. When dehydrated, the body lacks enough fluid and electrolytes—minerals in salts, including sodium, potassium, and chloride—to function properly. Infants, children, older adults, and people with weak immune systems have the greatest risk of becoming dehydrated.
Signs of dehydration are
- excessive thirst
- infrequent urination
- dark-colored urine
- lethargy, dizziness, or faintness
Signs of dehydration in infants and young children are
- dry mouth and tongue
- lack of tears when crying
- no wet diapers for 3 hours or more
- high fever
- unusually cranky or drowsy behavior
- sunken eyes, cheeks, or soft spot in the skull
Also, when people are dehydrated, their skin does not flatten back to normal right away after being gently pinched and released.
Severe dehydration may require intravenous fluids and hospitalization. Untreated severe dehydration can cause serious health problems such as organ damage, shock, or coma—a sleeplike state in which a person is not conscious.
Hemolytic uremic syndrome is a rare disease that mostly affects children younger than 10 years of age. HUS develops when E. coli bacteria lodged in the digestive tract make toxins that enter the bloodstream. The toxins start to destroy red blood cells, which help the blood to clot, and the lining of the blood vessels.
In the United States, E. coli O157:H7 infection is the most common cause of HUS, but infection with other strains of E. coli, other bacteria, and viruses may also cause HUS. A recent study found that about 6 percent of people with E. coli O157:H7 infections developed HUS. Children younger than age 5 have the highest risk, but females and people age 60 and older also have increased risk.3
Symptoms of E. coli O157:H7 infection include diarrhea, which may be bloody, and abdominal pain, often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and fever. Up to a week after E. coli symptoms appear, symptoms of HUS may develop, including irritability, paleness, and decreased urination. HUS may lead to acute renal failure, which is a sudden and temporary loss of kidney function. HUS may also affect other organs and the central nervous system. Most people who develop HUS recover with treatment. Research shows that in the United States between 2000 and 2006, fewer than 5 percent of people who developed HUS died of the disorder. Older adults had the highest mortality rate—about one-third of people age 60 and older who developed HUS died.3
Studies have shown that some children who recover from HUS develop chronic complications, including kidney problems, high blood pressure, and diabetes.
Other Complications
Some foodborne illnesses lead to other serious complications. For example, C. botulinum and certain chemicals in fish and seafood can paralyze the muscles that control breathing. L. monocytogenes can cause spontaneous abortion or stillbirth in pregnant women.
Research suggests that acute foodborne illnesses may lead to chronic disorders, including
- reactive arthritis, a type of joint inflammation that usually affects the knees, ankles, or feet. Some people develop this disorder following foodborne illnesses caused by certain bacteria, including C. jejuni and Salmonella. Reactive arthritis usually lasts fewer than 6 months, but this condition may recur or become chronic arthritis.4
- irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), a disorder of unknown cause that is associated with abdominal pain, bloating, and diarrhea or constipation or both. Foodborne illnesses caused by bacteria increase the risk of developing IBS.5
- Guillain-Barré syndrome, a disorder characterized by muscle weakness or paralysis that begins in the lower body and progresses to the upper body. This syndrome may occur after foodborne illnesses caused by bacteria, most commonly C. jejuni. Most people recover in 6 to 12 months.6
A recent study found that adults who had recovered from E. coli O157:H7 infections had increased risks of high blood pressure, kidney problems, and cardiovascular disease.7

When should people with foodborne illnesses see a health care provider?
People with any of the following symptoms should see a health care provider immediately:
- signs of dehydration
- prolonged vomiting that prevents keeping liquids down
- diarrhea for more than 2 days in adults or for more than 24 hours in children
- severe pain in the abdomen or rectum
- a fever higher than 101 degrees
- stools containing blood or pus
- stools that are black and tarry
- nervous system symptoms
- signs of HUS
If a child has a foodborne illness, parents or guardians should not hesitate to call a health care provider for advice.
How are foodborne illnesses diagnosed?
To diagnose foodborne illnesses, health care providers ask about symptoms, foods and beverages recently consumed, and medical history. Health care providers will also perform a physical examination to look for signs of illness.
Diagnostic tests for foodborne illnesses may include a stool culture, in which a sample of stool is analyzed in a laboratory to check for signs of infections or diseases. A sample of vomit or a sample of the suspected food, if available, may also be tested. A health care provider may perform additional medical tests to rule out diseases and disorders that cause symptoms similar to the symptoms of foodborne illnesses.
If symptoms of foodborne illnesses are mild and last only a short time, diagnostic tests are usually not necessary.
How are foodborne illnesses treated?
The only treatment needed for most foodborne illnesses is replacing lost fluids and electrolytes to prevent dehydration.
Over-the-counter medications such as loperamide (Imodium) and bismuth subsalicylate (Pepto-Bismol and Kaopectate) may help stop diarrhea in adults. However, people with bloody diarrhea—a sign of bacterial or parasitic infection—should not use these medications. If diarrhea is caused by bacteria or parasites, over-the-counter medications may prolong the problem. Medications to treat diarrhea in adults can be dangerous for infants and children and should only be given with a health care provider's guidance.
If the specific cause of the foodborne illness is diagnosed, a health care provider may prescribe medications, such as antibiotics, to treat the illness.
Hospitalization may be required to treat lifethreatening symptoms and complications, such as paralysis, severe dehydration, and HUS.
Eating, Diet, and Nutrition
The following steps may help relieve the symptoms of foodborne illnesses and prevent dehydration in adults:
- drinking plenty of liquids such as fruit juices, sports drinks, caffeine-free soft drinks, and broths to replace fluids and electrolytes
- sipping small amounts of clear liquids or sucking on ice chips if vomiting is still a problem
- gradually reintroducing food, starting with bland, easy-to-digest foods such as rice, potatoes, toast or bread, cereal, lean meat, applesauce, and bananas
- avoiding fatty foods, sugary foods, dairy products, caffeine, and alcohol until recovery is complete
Infants and children present special concerns. Infants and children are likely to become dehydrated more quickly from diarrhea and vomiting because of their smaller body size. The following steps may help relieve symptoms and prevent dehydration in infants and children:
- giving oral rehydration solutions such as Pedialyte, Naturalyte, Infalyte, and CeraLyte to prevent dehydration
- giving food as soon as the child is hungry
- giving infants breast milk or fullstrength formula, as usual, along with oral rehydration solutions
Older adults and adults with weak immune systems should also drink oral rehydration solutions to prevent dehydration.
How are foodborne illnesses prevented?
Foodborne illnesses can be prevented by properly storing, cooking, cleaning, and handling foods.
- Raw and cooked perishable foods—foods that can spoil—should be refrigerated or frozen promptly. If perishable foods stand at room temperature for more than 2 hours, they may not be safe to eat. Refrigerators should be set at 40 degrees or lower and freezers should be set at 0 degrees.
- Foods should be cooked long enough and at a high enough temperature to kill the harmful bacteria that cause illnesses. A meat thermometer should be used to ensure foods are cooked to the appropriate internal temperature:
- 145 degrees for roasts, steaks, and chops of beef, veal, pork, and lamb, followed by 3 minutes of rest time after the meat is removed from the heat source
- 160 degrees for ground beef, veal, pork, and lamb
- 165 degrees for poultry
- Cold foods should be kept cold and hot foods should be kept hot.
- Fruits and vegetables should be washed under running water just before eating, cutting, or cooking. A produce brush can be used under running water to clean fruits and vegetables with firm skin.
- Raw meat, poultry, seafood, and their juices should be kept away from other foods.
- People should wash their hands for at least 20 seconds with warm, soapy water before and after handling raw meat, poultry, fish, shellfish, produce, or eggs. People should also wash their hands after using the bathroom, changing diapers, or touching animals.
- Utensils and surfaces should be washed with hot, soapy water before and after they are used to prepare food. Diluted bleach—1 teaspoon of bleach to 1 quart of hot water—can also be used to sanitize utensils and surfaces.
More information about preventing foodborne illnesses is available at www.foodsafety.gov.
Traveler's Diarrhea
People who visit certain foreign countries are at risk for traveler's diarrhea, which is caused by eating food or drinking water contaminated with bacteria, viruses, or parasites. Traveler's diarrhea can be a problem for people traveling to developing countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Caribbean. Visitors to Canada, most European countries, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand do not face much risk for traveler's diarrhea.
To prevent traveler's diarrhea, people traveling from the United States to developing countries should avoid
- drinking tap water, using tap water to brush their teeth, or using ice made from tap water
- drinking unpasteurized milk or milk products
- eating raw fruits and vegetables, including lettuce and fruit salads, unless they peel the fruits or vegetables themselves
- eating raw or rare meat and fish
- eating meat or shellfish that is not hot when served
- eating food from street vendors
Travelers can drink bottled water, bottled soft drinks, and hot drinks such as coffee or tea.
People concerned about traveler's diarrhea should talk with a health care provider before traveling. The health care provider may recommend that travelers bring medication with them in case they develop diarrhea during their trip. Health care providers may advise some people—especially people with weakened immune systems—to take antibiotics before and during a trip to help prevent traveler's diarrhea. Early treatment with antibiotics can shorten a bout of traveler's diarrhea.

LIVE! | 70,000 Tons of Metal: Day 2
by Chris A.
Staff Writer –
A Sea of Blood: The 70,000 Tons Of Metal Day 2
Steaming toward the southwest, with the coast of Cuba visible on the horizon, Day 2 of 70000 Tons of Metal resumed with abandon. For the next 18 hours, there would be a nonstop assault of metal on the ship's three stages, with 27 bands scheduled to perform. At 10 a.m., with temperatures approaching 80 degrees on the main pool stage, the first band of the day would be old-school thrashers Whiplash with Crowbar set to close the day's action at 4:15 a.m. the following day.
It was a day of head banging, drinking and running around the ship as the 2,000 fans went from venue to venue, navigating the narrow corridors with pits stops at the bar and casino. Catching all the bands was impossible, of course, but the atmosphere, beautiful weather and the utter variety of bands kept a smile on everyone's face. Day 2 was nothing short of kick ass.
Day No. 2 performers included: Whiplash, Megora, God Dethroned, Diamond Plate, Exciter, Spiency, Orphaned Land, Tankard, Suffocation, Pretty Maids, Atheist, Kamelot, Stradivarius, Amorphis, In Extremo, Therion, Kataklysm, Annihilator, Children of Bodom, Virgin Steele, Venom, Riot, Hammerfall, Pestilence, My Dying Bride, Dark Funeral and Crowbar.

Incumbents Rick Harrington, Lois Henry and Bill Smallman are running as a ticket to retain their seats on the board. Three newcomers to the board, Gail Jones, Duane Davis and Cheryl Trapp, are running separately, but all three generally oppose the idea of a merger.
The board of directors has the ability to send a merger proposal to a vote of district ratepayers. Voters would decide if a bond or other funding mechanism should be passed to allow unification with San Lorenzo Valley.
As of this week, the district had not quite $100,000 in its coffers, after being nearly underwater two years ago.
Rick Harrington
Harrington, a Lompico resident since 1981, said he was postponing a retirement plan to move to Oregon to finish the task of providing a reliable, plentiful, safe and reasonably priced water supply to Lompico.
After serving on the board from 1986 to 1994, Harrington was appointed in April 2010 following Jane Wycoff's resignation.
He said the district has been making small fixes, such as replacing lateral pipes and repairing the Lewis Water Treatment plant. But it would be impossible, he said, to hire a district manager at a cost of $80,000 to $100,000 per year and also replace failing water tanks without raising already high rates paid by residents of the canyon.
He hopes to move toward a merger with San Lorenzo Valley Water District to meet his top priority: "an adequate water supply for Lompico, even in times of draught."
In the meantime, Harrington said district leaders were crafting a general plan that is not based on a merger to lay out what the district can do to remain solvent and functional into the future. Still, he sees a merger as the most fitting prospect for the district.
"I am committed to bringing that vote to the community," he said.
Lois Henry
Henry, vying for her second term, said her priority was to make sure the district has safe water.
She has been responsible for much of the legwork of sorting the district's finances since the board fired the district manager two years ago, and she said she learned much during her time.
"This has been such a big learning experience for me," Henry said. "I had no idea what goes into being a board member for a water district."
Her focus now, however, is to move the merger proposal to a stage where canyon voters can decide if the merger makes sense for them.
"The board can stop a merger from happening, but the board can't make a merger happen," she said.
Henry said the district has enough money for some smaller projects, but not enough to buy a new water tank or replace all of the faulty lateral lines. She said merging with SLV would allow for quicker repairs, because staff members are available all the time.
Bill Smallman
Smallman, a 20 year Lompico resident who was elected to the board in 2008, ran for Santa Cruz County supervisor in June but decided to return to the Lompico board to continue to make infrastructure repairs while researching the merger idea.
He said he reached the conclusion that the district needs to merge to make the large repairs it needs and maintain a safe and clean water supply.
"I don't see the money there to keep this stuff up, even with the high rates we pay," Smallman said.
Duane Davis
A Lompico resident of nearly 15 years, Davis, a systems engineer, previously served as president of the Lompico Community Center for six years.
"People know I am thoughtful on my decisions," he said.
Davis said had never had a problem with water quality at his home and was pleased with the board's success in turning the district around financially. However, he does not believe district residents should spend several million dollars for a bond to pay for a merger.
"The district is in the recovery process," he said. "I'm just saying, let's give it a little more time
Instead, he said he would like to hire a district manager and increase the storage capacity in the district by purchasing a larger tank to replace the failing Lewis II. He said the district would not have to raise water rates to complete those fixes, but rather be smarter with its money.
Davis said he would promote a Lompico Water employee to district manager and hire another part-time maintenance worker to make sure the staff did not accrue high overtime costs.
If taking those steps failed to get the district running strongly, Davis said he would change his mind about the merger.
"I don't have anything against a merger, if it's needed," he said. "I would like to see if we can survive without a merger. I think we can."
Gail Jones
The executive secretary for the county health director, Jones has lived in Lompico for 12 years and served on the Lompico Community Center Board for four years.
She got involved with the water district when she began to hear about the possibility of a merger with SLV.
"I don't think our only survival is a merge with SLV," Jones said. "I think Lompico deserves a chance to fix ourselves."
Jones said she was not unshakably opposed to the merger, but she thought, like Davis, that the district should start by hiring a district manager and making the needed repairs to maintain the water system without merging with SLV.
She believes Lompico will not need to raise rates any time soon, after passing a rate increase in January that produces an added $80,000 in revenue per year.
Cheryl Trapp
Trapp, a real estate field inspector who has lived in Lompico for 12 years, has attended district board meetings during the past several years and hopes to be part of the solution in Lompico.
She said a district manager, not the board, should be running the district, and she opposes a merger with SLV that would place a heavy expense on Lompico residents.
"I don's see the reasoning to give the water company away and pay an exceptional amount to do it," Trapp said.
She said she believed the district could complete its "to-do list" without the burden of a 30-year bond that would likely be proposed to pay for the merger with SLV.
She said she would look for solutions aside from raising water rates if possible.

First, I know I'm reviving an old thread - in most forums I've visited, that's bad form. But I didn't want to clutter the forum with a new one.
Anyway, my dad and I are planning a climb next Saturday. Perhaps one of the southern presidentials. Eisenhower or something. And I was wondering if the summit forecast for Washington that's posted on this website is accurate for other mountains in the area? I know they're a bit shorter, so conditions are liable to be a little more friendly?

BMC Racing Team riders Adam Blythe and Philippe Gilbert made the decisive split Tuesday on another windy day at the Tour of Qatar. The result moved Blythe into 10th overall with three days of racing remaining.
Problems For Hushovd, Phinney
When strong crosswinds sliced the peloton with 30 kilometers left in the 146.5 km stage, Blythe and Gilbert were among the front group of 38. "Our objective was to protect Blythe but also keep Gilbert, Thor Hushovd and Taylor Phinney on a good place on the general classification," BMC Racing Team Directeur Sportif John Lelangue said. "Unfortunately Hushovd had a puncture and never came back, and in the first echelon Phinney touched the rear derailleur of Gilbert and also had a mechanical." Blythe (11th) and Gilbert (16th) finished 1:29 ahead of the field as Mark Cavendish (Sky Procycling) took the stage win. Tom Boonen (Omega Pharma-Quick Step) retained the overall lead. "I was a bit too far forward when the sprint started," Blythe said. "It would've been better to be running up on them instead of kind of sputtering out at the end. Hopefully I'll keep moving up on the GC a little bit. The main thing was to stay out of trouble and stay at the front."

MORRISTOWN, N.J. – Saint Elizabeth junior shooting guard Cheyenne Grant drained five first-half 3-pointers on her way to a game-high 21 points Sunday afternoon in St. Joseph's Hall but Keuka countered with a double-double from forward Mariah Mouzon and a trio of triples from Danielle Gravel to score a 71-61 win over the Screaming Eagles in North Eastern Athletic Conference action.
Grant hit on 5-of-9 attempts in the first half, including a perfect 5-for-5 from beyond the arc for 15 first-half points. The Screaming Eagles opened up a nine-point lead on the visiting Storm after freshman forward Chantele Clark made one of two free-throw attempts at 10:48.
CSE (6-8, 4-4 NEAC) maintained a seven-point advantage on the North Division-leading Storm after Grant drained a 3-pointer at 6:57.
Keuka (10-2, 7-1 NEAC) powered to within one point, 21-20, after a pair of free throws by Erica Pendrak but CSE used a quick 7-3 run to open up a five-point lead.
Sharolin Sanders made a jumper at 1:39 to put CSE up 30-25, but Keuka ended the half on a 5-0 run to knot the score 30-30 at the intermission. An old-fashioned three-point play off an offensive rebound putback by Montana McDonald in the final seconds of the half tied the teams.
The teams bounced back and forth at the start of the half. CSE forward Kristene Brady-Downs sank a free-throw line jumper to give her team a four-point lead at 16:46.
Two free throws by Jessica Bandrowski and an offensive rebound putback by Mouzon tied the game once again, 36-all, at 15:59.
One minute later, Gravel – held to just two shots in the first half – found her range with a corner 3-pointer to give Keuka its first lead since the early going. Gravel hit two more triples in the next two minutes and the Storm suddenly had a seven-point lead.
Amerisse Rogers shied off contact to make a layup at 8:49 and then found Clark for a short jumper and CSE was within six points, 52-46.
But Keuka continued to feed Mouzon who's inside presence led to 14 free throw attempts, 11 of which she made.
The Storm closed out their fourth consecutive NEAC victory at the free-throw line. Keuka was 29-for-39 as a team from the charity stripe, while CSE made 11 of its 21 attempts.
Rogers also found double figures for CSE, scoring 12 points. Senior Kelly O'Dell led all rebounders with 15 caroms to go along with a game-high eight steals. Grant added four steals.
Bandrowski also had a double-double, netting 10 points to go along with 11 boards. She also added six assists and seven steals. Gravel finished with 15 points while Pendrak added 13 points and four assists.
Saint Elizabeth is on the road for five of its next games, starting Wednesday night at Penn State-Berks. The Screaming Eagles return home on Wed., January 30 for a 7 p.m. game with Penn State-Abington. That night a special ceremony the Department of Athletics will unveil a banner bearing the jersey of 1,000-point scorer Sabrina Jarmonlinski, class of 2012.

In the darkest hour of the darkest age, Christian monks developed a meditation tradition unique in the Western world. A 14th-century author described their profound mystical experience as entering the cloud of unknowing. Yet during the 500 years after this great monastic flowering, this precious tradition—and the direct path to union with God it described—was virtually lost.
For decades, Father Thomas Keating, together with other monks, examined this great question: Could anyone enter the cloud of unknowing through a prayer practice specifically created to attain it? Keating reached back in time for clues about the prayer forms of the Christian mystics. He synthesized his work into a Centering Prayer method that has helped thousands of seekers travel the contemplative path to divine union.
From infancy, Father Keating teaches, we accumulate emotional layers, or programs, as a result of traumatic experiences. The practice of Centering Prayer engages directly with the unconscious and loosens old traumas that hinder your spiritual development. This form of divine therapy draws from a contemplative method that has brought profound inner transformation into the lives of thousands of practitioners.
The Contemplative Journey is Father Thomas Keating's great masterwork: a complete curriculum devoted to a Christian path for achieving the still point of resting in God.
