Sometimes, anal porn won't do it. Sometimes, only watching live anal amateurs on camera is the only way you're looking to get your anal training fix. If you fall under that category, we've got a new treat for you. Live Free Fun is not only one of the fastest growing camming sites on the internet, they have an entire section of anal sex cams manned by amateurs all over the globe.
So down to the basics – how does Live Free Fun work! Like you've seen in the name, you can watch the anal training cams on the site for free. All the webcam models on the site have public chat rooms where they perform for nothing. Viewers are encouraged to tip the performers, and some will set certain acts once they receive a certain amount of GOLD (the currently used on Live Free Fun). For instance, a webcam model who is showing off her anal training may show her gape for a set amount of tips.
If you're willing to shell out a bit more, you can get private and semi-private performances called GOLD Shows. The model sets a per-minute rate that's displayed in the room, and your GOLD account is deducted accordingly. I like these shows because they provide a more intimate connection with the model – especially for those guys who want their anal show to go a certain way! Unlike other cam and porn sites, there's no recurring fees for the shows on Live Free Fun. You add as much credit to your account as you'd like whenever you want to. There is a $25 minimum order, and there is a top end limit for new users, which can be lifted with a quick chat to the customer service team. You can add credit to your account using your credit card, or for the privacy-minded, a pre-paid debit card.
The other up side to the free anal cam shows on Live Free Fun as opposed to those other sites is that Live Free Fun has a customer service team that can help you out 24/7/365. They can be reached the usual way through emails, or you can call their phone number. They've got toll free numbers from a bunch of different countries, including the USA.
But enough of the logistics. What will you see on Live Free Fun's anal training shows? You'll get a mix of amateur and professional porn performers. The majority of the models are women, with a few men and a handful of transsexual anal performers thrown in as well. You'll get solo shows as well as couples and groups. Almost every age, race and sexual persuasion is represented in their anal sex section, so you'll have a wide spread of choices! Click here to go directly to Live Free Fun's anal sex cams!
Every so often, an anal sex porn movie comes along that makes our mouths drop open in awe. Sure, we profile a lot of anal porn here on Anal Training 101, but we're not exaggerating when we say this is one of the most amazing pieces of adult film we have ever seen. The crew at Hard X teamed up with Allie Haze to shoot her very first anal porn. This isn't one of those quick fuck and suck style porn flick. This was a high budget piece that not only showcased Allie's talent, it's also a nod at style of high quality porn that Hard X delivers.
The trailer for the movie – simply called "Allie" – is over ten minutes long and deserves awards in itself! The entire movie consists of four separate scenes. First up Allie pops her anal cherry on camera for the very first time with porn heartthrob James Deen. According to James's blog – this scene was supposed to go down very differently with lots of warmup and foreplay. But, the duo just go from making out to getting Allie's ass penetrated on camera for the very first time.
There's also a girl-girl-boy anal scene with Adriana Checick that has a very 'Eyes Wide Shut' feel to it as the scene plays out. The interracial anal scene with Lexington Steele is one of the hottest scenes in the movie. We're surprised that Allie took on a dick as big as Lexington's being that she's an anal newbie! Lastly, there's a threesome with two men in a very western-meets-gangster scene that shows how well Allie is made.
But, our words won't do this justice at all. Check out the trailer below, then head over to Hard X youself to see Allie Haze lose her anal virginity in Allie. You will not be disappointed!

We'll admit it. We've been watching some rather interesting anal porn lately. One of our favorites was a scene where a hot little anal nympho got into the shower and showed the watcher how she prepared herself for the scene. Her anal douche of choice? This Deluxe Shower Enema System from XR Brands.
Unlike the bulb based systems, there is a whole lot less effort involved in the shower style – and less worry about the dreaded 'suck back'! Rather than filling a bulb with your warm water, screwing the probe back on, emptying it into your anus, then doing it all over again (usually a few times over), this enema system hooks up directly to your shower. You control the temperature and pressure all through your shower's existing knobs. (Looking to bring anal 'torture' into your BDSM anal play? We know this toy will help!) Because you don't need to press a bulb, there's zero chance that you'll be sucking the enema fluid that's already inside your rectum.
The Deluxe Shower Enema System includes two different sized nozzles for varying size of opening and a six foot long hose, making it that much easier to get into your desired position. It also comes with a number of brackets and rings to help you get your system hooked into your existing shower setup.
So are you ready to grab the Deluxe Shower Enema System? It's now on sale at Angel's Sex Toys for more than $15 off the retail price! And – we've got a way that you can save more on your anal douche system. Just enter the code ANALTRAINER during checkout and you can save an additional 15% on your order.

Once your ass is properly training and you want to go BIG, these American Bombshell anal toys are the way to go!
First, let's talk about these lovelies in general. American Bombshell is part of the Doc Johnson family of products – a name that could be quite familiar to a few of you. They have a kitschy military theme with their names (as well as their shapes, like in the case of the Shellshock). All the toys are made from Doc Johnson's own "Gun Metal PVC" blend, that uses Sil-A-Gel in it's mix. The toys are phthalate free and body safe. American Bombshell toys can be used with either water or silicone based lubricants and can be cleaned with your basic soap and warm water or a specialized sex toy cleaner.
Now that the general fun is done, let's get a look at these extreme anal toys! You've got quite the range of shapes and styles to choose from in this range, from the realistic shaped (but rather oversized) penis style dildos, to the bomb-shaped plugs mentioned above, to a few that are even more extreme, like the Rockeye. Now, we think the Rockeye is the best in the collection as far as newbies go, since it does flare down at a gentle slop, letting you decide how far it goes.
The American Bombshell toys are available form Angel's Sex Toys, where you can save 15% on your order using the exclusive coupon code ANALTRAINER during checkout. This code is good on anything in stock at Angel's, including these extreme anal sex toys. So – what other goodies are in the American Bombshell range?

In honor of World Polio Day, the polio communications team sat down with the lead of the CDC Global Immunization Division's STOP team Yinka Kerr for a little Q & A.
Q: Yinka, how did you become involved in the global initiative to end polio?
Yinka: I started in polio in 1997 when I did a 6-month rotation as part of my Public Health Prevention Service training program. My supervisors were Bob Keegan and Denise Johnson, who were amazing mentors. I had a taste of what it would be like working in a global health position through being part of an immunization program review in China and writing a financial report in Zimbabwe for the Africa Region of the World Health Organization.
I was on the second Stop Transmission of Polio (STOP) team in 1999, where I was stationed in Nepal for 3 months. When I finished my training with the Public Health Prevention Service in 2000, CDC's polio program was the first place that I came to look for a job and I have been with the Global Immunization Division ever since.
Q: What parts of your experience as a STOP volunteer in Nepal remain the most memorable?
Yinka: I worked with Dr. Choudhury, the national surveillance officer, responsible for tracking polio throughout the eastern region. We were based in Biratnagar and would travel up to where the roads ended to talk to health care volunteers, community workers, private doctors and hospital staff about checking for cases of paralysis to test for polio. I remember thinking that this was an amazing program that brings all people together to work towards one goal—ridding the world of polio. It did not matter that I could not speak their language; just bringing the message that we were all working towards this common goal was unforgettable.
One time we went to check on a paralyzed child that the hospital told us had returned to the village. We headed off to the village in the pouring rain. We crossed through a large creek and arrived in the village where the child was, only to be told that the child had gone across the border to seek health care. We turned around and started home only to get stuck in the rising creek coming back across the river. Luckily, I had some cookies and water that I always kept in the car for food emergencies. We sent a villager who was passing by us on a bicycle back to the village to get a tractor and some villagers who helped to get us out of the mud. Thanks to all, we made it home later that night. These have been and will be the trials and tribulations of everyone who is working to find that last case of polio.
Q: What is your favorite part of leading CDC's STOP Team?
Yinka: I like the depth and breadth of activities that I do as STOP team lead in order to recruit, train, and deploy the STOP teams. The passion the STOP staff and CDC colleagues instill in people during the training is amazing. Our teams are deployed with expertise in their minds and passion in their hearts. Being a part of it is truly an honor.

The first case of Ebola diagnosed in the United States has caused some to call on the United States to ban travel for anyone from the countries in West Africa facing the worst of the Ebola epidemic.
That response is understandable. It's only human to want to protect ourselves and our families. We want to defend ourselves, so isn't the fastest, easiest solution to put up a wall around the problem?
A travel ban is not the right answer. It's simply not feasible to build a wall – virtual or real – around a community, city, or country. A travel ban would essentially quarantine the more than 22 million people that make up the combined populations of Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Guinea.
When a wildfire breaks out we don't fence it off. We go in to extinguish it before one of the random sparks sets off another outbreak somewhere else.
We don't want to isolate parts of the world, or people who aren't sick, because that's going to drive patients with Ebola underground, making it infinitely more difficult to address the outbreak.
It could even cause these countries to stop working with the international community as they refuse to report cases because they fear the consequences of a border closing.
Stopping planes from flying from West Africa would severely limit the ability of Americans to return to the United States or of people with dual citizenship to get home, wherever that may be.
In addition to not stopping the spread of Ebola, isolating countries will make it harder to respond to Ebola, creating an even greater humanitarian and health care emergency.
Importantly, isolating countries won't keep Ebola contained and away from American shores. Paradoxically, it will increase the risk that Ebola will spread in those countries and to other countries, and that we will have more patients who develop Ebola in the U.S.
People will move between countries, even when governments restrict travel and trade. And that kind of travel becomes almost impossible to track.
Isolating communities also increases people's distrust of government, making them less likely to cooperate to help stop the spread of Ebola.
Isolating communities and regions within countries will also backfire. Restricting travel or trade to and from a community makes the disease spread more rapidly in the isolated area, eventually putting the rest of the country at even greater risk.
To provide relief to West Africa, borders must remain open and commercial flights must continue.
There is no more effective way to protect the United States against additional Ebola cases than to address this outbreak at the source in West Africa. That's what our international response—including the stepped-up measures the president announced last month—will do.
What works most effectively for quelling disease outbreaks like Ebola is not quarantining huge populations.
What works is focusing on and isolating the sick and those in direct contact with them as they are at highest risk of infection. This strategy worked with SARS and it worked during the H1N1 flu pandemic. Casting too wide a net, such as invoking travel bans, would only provide an illusion of security and would lead to prejudice and stigma around those in West Africa.
Americans can be reassured we are taking measures to protect citizens here.
Today, all outbound passengers from Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone are screened for Ebola symptoms before they board an airplane.
Staff from CDC and the Department of Homeland Security's Customers & Border Protection will begin new layers of entry screening, first at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York this Saturday, and in the following week at four additional airports — Dulles International Airport outside of Washington, D.C.; Newark Liberty International Airport; Chicago's O'Hare International Airport; and Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
Combined, these U.S. airports receive almost 95 percent of the American-bound travelers from the Ebola-affected countries.
Travelers from those countries will be escorted to an area of the airport set aside for screening. There they will be observed for signs of illness, asked a series of health and exposure questions, and given information on Ebola and information on monitoring themselves for symptoms for 21 days. Their temperature will be checked, and if there's any concern about their health, they'll be referred to the local public health authority for further evaluation or monitoring.
Controlling Ebola at its source – in West Africa – is how we will win this battle. When countries are isolated, we cannot get medical supplies and personnel efficiently to where they're needed – making it impossible to fight the virus in West Africa.
As the WHO's Gregory Hartl said recently, "Travel restrictions don't stop a virus. If airlines stop flying to West Africa, we can't get the people that we need to combat this outbreak, and we can't get the food and the fuel and other supplies that people there need to survive."
We know how to stop Ebola: by isolating and treating patients, tracing and monitoring their contacts, and breaking the chains of transmission.
Until Ebola is controlled in West Africa, we cannot get the risk to zero here in the United States.

Background information
CDC's 2013 Vital Signs publication reported that more than 200,000 deaths among Americans younger than age 75 are preventable. These deaths from heart disease and stroke, both primary contributors to cardiovascular disease (CVD), could be prevented through better lifestyle practices and better care. Heart disease and stroke are two of our nation's leading causes of death, responsible for nearly 1 in 3 deaths in the US each year. Globally, hypertension accounts for almost one-half of heart attacks and strokes. In China alone, CVD caused an estimated 3.5 million deaths in 2008.
Excess sodium intake is a key risk factor for hypertension, and reducing sodium intake is a global and domestic public health priority. A 2007 study found that reducing average population sodium intake by 15% in 23 low- and middle-income countries (bearing 80% of the chronic disease burden) could prevent 8.5 million deaths over 10 years, at a cost of only $0.05 / person / year (see footnote #1). In China and in the US, average sodium consumption is in excess of recommendations (see footnote #2). Primary sources of sodium vary depending on the country: the primary sources of sodium in the US are packaged and restaurants foods, while in China it is salt added during cooking. Thus, efforts to reduce sodium consumption in each country focus on their respective primary contributors to sodium intake.
Shandong Province is the third most populous province in China with 96 million residents. Rates of hypertension and salt intake in adults are higher than the national average; Shandong Province is also one of the largest salt producers in China. To reduce the burden of hypertension, in 2011China's National Health and Family Planning Commission (formerly the Ministry of Health) and Shandong provincial government, with technical assistance provided by US CDC, launched the first comprehensive salt reduction project in China: the Shandong Province & Ministry of Health Action on Salt and Hypertension (SMASH). The goal of SMASH is to: 1) reduce daily salt intake from 12.5 grams/day to 10 grams/day by 2015; and 2) improve hypertension control within the province.
In order to reduce salt intake, food labeling, reformulating local cuisine, distribution of scaled spoons for measurement of salt use in cooking, and food industry product reformulation are being broadly adopted. The initiative works with restaurants to develop sodium standards for Shandong cuisine, including, developing and conducting chef training and contests to provide lower salt menu items and recipes track salt usage, and disseminate educational resources. Restaurants that follow the lower salt requirement are designated a "Distinguished Restaurant".
Philadelphia, also interested in reducing salt intake as part of its Get Healthy Philly initiative, launched the Philadelphia Healthy Chinese Take-out Initiative in 2012, a joint effort of the Philadelphia Chinese Restaurant Association, the Center for Asian Health of Temple University, the Asian Community Health Coalition and the Department of Health (DOH), to improve access to healthier food options. In an effort to control and prevent high blood pressure, the initiative aims to reduce the sodium content in Chinese take-out dishes by 10-15%. BetweenJuly, 2012 and April, 2013, 206 restaurants of more than 400 agreed to participate in the initiative. Philadelphia Healthy Chinese Take-out Initiative provided a series of free cooking trainings for owners and chefs on low salt cooking techniques. These included enhancing flavor with herbs and spices, using lower sodium ingredients such as reduced sodium soy sauce, modifying recipes to use ½ the amount of prepared sauce in dishes, and limiting distribution of soy sauce packets to customers. Marketing materials for owners and consumers to promote awareness of the initiative were also developed and distributed. DOH staff collected and analyzed samples of two popular dishes from 20 restaurants to assess changes in sodium content since the program began: preliminary results show an average of a 10% reduction in sodium content over the past two years.
After learning about US sodium reduction efforts via CDC's Salt e-Update, SMASH officials have been working with Philadelphia Healthy Chinese Take-out Initiative to share information on their respective sodium reduction initiatives. Shandong shared CDC sodium fact sheets translated to Chinese with Philly, which assisted Philly in communicating with participating restaurant operators who only speak Chinese. Philly has provided Shandong with program insights and experience on monitoring and evaluation as well as program scope. Continued discussions will allow both communities to better communicate and share enhanced recipes, cooking techniques, and chef training materials with restaurants to reduce sodium in their menus. Expanded dialogue will also allow both projects to share lessons learned and fine tune efforts around training restaurants to reduce sodium, conducting public education campaigns focused on sodium reduction, and collecting baseline survey data to help inform targeted strategies for sodium reduction.
While the US continues to make progress in achieving our national CVD goals for sodium intake, there remains great opportunity to achieve more. Active engagement with global partners not only provides the unique opportunity to share our expertise and knowledge but to also leverage existing global efforts to enhance our knowledge and improve domestic approaches. SMASH and Philly's Healthy Chinese Take-out Initiative share similar goals and approaches and are leveraging resources and experiences to enhance their respective programs.

This blog is cross-posted on the White House website.
The nations of the world, along with key international organizations, gather at the White House today to advance a Global Health Security Agenda that will help keep the world safe from infectious disease threats.
This meeting is a critical opportunity to increase international commitment and, more importantly, action to stop the Ebola epidemic in West Africa and the infectious disease threats to come.
Ebola is a critical issue for the world community. There's a real risk to the stability and security of societies, as governments are increasingly challenged to not only control Ebola but to provide basic health services and other government functions. The stability of these countries and their economies, as well as those of their neighbors and of others, is at increasing risk.
Ebola is the most recent tragic example of why it is imperative to work together to make the world safer from infectious disease outbreaks. Ebola is precisely the kind of health threat the Global Health Security Agenda could have prevented. We and our partner countries have agreed to work together so that effective prevention, detection, and response mechanisms are present in every country around the world.
There are three key actions we must take:
CDC has many years of experience assisting countries throughout the world with public health emergency detection and response capacity. Recent demonstration projects in Uganda and Vietnam created emergency operations centers, national laboratory systems, and real-time information systems, and are a proof of principle that global health security systems can be rapidly implemented and used immediately to find and stop health threats.
Last year, I visited urban and rural areas in Uganda to review the progress of this pilot project and I was deeply impressed; this project is one of the highest impact initiatives CDC has undertaken in my time as director. Progress improving disease detection and response in these countries shows that such models can work on a global scale.
One critical need is to train disease detectives around the world so that they can close gaps in surveillance and detect disease outbreaks as early as possible. CDC's Epidemic Intelligence Service program is a global model for this type of training.
Since the 1980s, we've helped 40 other countries develop their own similar training. Trainees and graduates of these programs find and stop hundreds of outbreaks a year, usually without CDC's direct involvement, which is exactly the result that we will see the more we invest in smart and effective programs like this one. In fact, graduates of these programs from Cameroon, Democratic Republic of Congo, Kenya, Morocco, South Africa, and Tanzania have been working on the ground to help stop the current Ebola outbreak.
It is increasingly clear that the health of other nations has a direct impact on health in the United States—infectious diseases do not recognize borders, and a disease outbreak is just a plane trip away.
Strengthening global health security will protect Americans, and protect people from around the world.

Most people in the United States know rabies as a rare and terrifying disease, ending in almost certain death. However, it's not usually something they think about, except when the reminder card arrives from their veterinarian that their pet needs its rabies vaccine booster. Even then, they probably are not considering how important that shot is to not only keep their pet safe, but also as a barrier from exposure to rabid wildlife. In addition, that single shot is a critical tool in an international battle to prevent the tens of thousands of human deaths from this disease every year.
I occasionally hear stories from friends and family members who worry about rabies. I once talked to a woman who didn't give rabies a second thought until she was deployed to Senegal as part of the Peace Corps. Her biggest fear was getting bitten by a stray dog and contracting a disease she might not be able to recover from.
Or consider the young professional who told me a story about traveling abroad and getting bitten by a stray dog on a beach. He panicked and didn't know if that bite was his death sentence. Thanks to decades of public health interventions, canine rabies has been eliminated in the United States. However, what most people do not realize is that approximately three quarters of the world's population currently lives in a country where rabies is an ever-present threat.
As the Veterinary Medical Officer for the CDC Rabies team, I've seen the toll rabies has taken on families around the world. In Taiwan, I had the difficult task of assessing a young puppy that was attacked by a wild ferret badger during a rabies outbreak. While there were no visible wounds, we could not rule out that the puppy had been exposed to rabies. The unfortunate recommendation was to either euthanize the puppy or quarantine it for six months. The family was poor, subsiding on a small farming plot; the cost for quarantine was seemingly out of reach. Yet the family scraped together the funds and paid for the quarantine. Unfortunately, four weeks later the puppy developed signs of rabies and was euthanized. The compassion this family showed for their puppy was amazing, but in the absence of qualified rabies control officials, the consequences could have been dire if the dog had remained at home.
Earlier this year I was in Haiti helping the local government train veterinary staff on humane euthanasia of suspected rabid animals. During the training, a veterinarian received a call from a young man who was bitten by his dog. Like many dogs in Haiti, this family pet was allowed to roam freely around the community. Three months prior to the call, the pet came home with a bite wound to his back leg. The family thought nothing of it; dog fights are common, especially among young male dogs in the neighborhood. It was now three months later and the dog was in a full rage. When the young man opened his door on this particular morning his dog lunged at him, leaving two deep bite wounds in his hand. The family was trapped inside their house for several hours until we arrived to safely euthanize the animal. Even though this animal was obviously ill, and had bitten two people, the family was still distraught by the thought of losing their beloved pet.
In Ethiopia, while assisting with a rabies vaccination clinic for dogs, we saw that people had walked for hours to get their dogs vaccinated. In particular, two boys waited more than six hours to have their dogs protected from this deadly disease. In all of the places I have traveled, I have witnessed the same truth: the human-animal bond is deep and universal, but dog-transmitted rabies is a far too familiar story for those of us who work in this field.
So what is rabies? To people in the United States, it may be something that is rarely considered. To most of the world, it is likely something they have intimately experienced. In the public health world, rabies is defined as a neglected tropical disease (NTD). Why is this? How does it happen? Some NTDs don't cause enough deaths to be a priority to many. Some NTDs are found only in poor parts of the world, where other public health issues take priority. Some NTDs, for various reasons, do not attract international attention. Those of us working on preventing NTDs often spend more time advocating for elimination of the disease than we do actually fighting it.
What is often frustrating for those of us who are passionate about preventing NTDs like rabies is that, unlike many NTDs, rabies is vaccine-preventable. In fact, there are over 20 different approved rabies vaccines for more than six animal species (and people too!). In addition to those vaccines, there are also step-by-step recommendations developed by world experts that have been proven, when followed, to successfully eliminate canine rabies. Yet despite the existence of effective vaccines and proven successful interventions, more than 55,000 people die each year from an easily preventable disease. 95% of these deaths can be attributed to a bite from a rabid dog. All of these deaths at the jaws of rabid dogs, even though in most parts of the world it costs less than one U.S. dollar to protect a dog against rabies.
World Rabies Day was created in 2007 as a way to raise awareness for this NTD. As a veterinarian working in the public health field, I cannot imagine a more rewarding NTD to fight against and advocate for prevention. I am fortunate enough to have the opportunity to travel the world, not only to save human lives, but also to advocate for healthier, happier animals. In my travels, I am reminded of how important and loved animals are to the families with whom they share homes.
So this Word Rabies Day please take a moment to thank all of the hard-working people who spend every day to prevent you and your pets from catching this fatal disease. Thank your veterinarian for keeping your pets healthy. Thank your local animal control officer, who just tussled with that rabid fox in your backyard. Thank that doctor who reminded you to get those rabies shots before your vacation to any one of the 150 rabies-endemic countries. Hug your dogs if they are vaccinated, and get them vaccinated if they are not! (Then hug them.)
Finally, in honor of World Rabies Day, I'd like to highlight some of the many great stories about how the rabies work of CDC and our collaborators impacts the lives of families around the world:

During my time in Liberia, I have tried not to provide much detail to my family about the day-to-day work we are doing.
I don't want to cause alarm or propagate fear; conditions in Monrovia can at times be deeply troubling.
I have spent the past month working to help control the Ebola outbreak in Liberia as part of the United States Government's Disaster Assistance Response Team, or DART.
Our work here has been nonstop and it doesn't appear that the end of the epidemic will be anytime soon. There are days when there is palpable tension in the air, especially when a new community experiences Ebola virus transmission for the first time, or experiences a second or third wave of disease.
I have seen what needs to be done to stop Ebola from spreading – find patients quickly, isolate and treat them, identify their contacts and safely bury those that die. But the scale of this Ebola outbreak is unprecedented.
The systems currently in place to identify, refer, isolate and treat Ebola cases are overwhelmed. Knowledge of how the disease is spread varies from community to community, and unsafe burial practices continue to take place far and wide.
In addition, the international response has not been enough. This is in part due to fear that is fostered by ongoing transmission of infection among health care workers with inadequate supplies of personal protective equipment, soap and clean water, and incomplete understanding of required infection control practices, or both.
As part of the DART, our goals are to help partners find people with the virus in the community, get them into Ebola treatment centers and improve infection control practices to prevent the spread of the virus to health care workers and burial teams.
I have worked with many Liberians, our CDC team, and partners in the field who are at the front of the response, and I'm amazed by their dedication in this challenging environment.
As just one example, Dr. Mohammed Sankoh, Director of the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare's Redemption Hospital in Monrovia is now managing a primary care facility that is being overrun by suspected Ebola patients.
He has lost many of his staff (doctors, nurses, a physician assistant and a midwife) to Ebola. His remaining staff are fearful of coming to work, and his community is increasingly afraid of coming to the hospital, with many preferring to die at home.
In his own words "When we had our civil war, we knew who we were fighting, but with Ebola, the enemy is invisible, and it is taking us in increasing numbers."
We simply need more people to step up to help supply, train and equip Liberian nationals to take on the epidemic.
The work is challenging, yet highly rewarding. The United States' effort in Liberia is but one cog in a larger wheel of the response that is striving to save lives. However, I am certain that the epidemic would be even worse without our presence.
I am grateful to be able to contribute to the fight against this scourge. And the Liberian people are thankful that the U.S. has not abandoned them.
We need others to join in the fight against Ebola. But let's not stop there.
To prevent such public health events, all countries need to have the capability to prevent the spread of infectious disease threats quickly, detect them accurately, and respond to them effectively.
It is heartbreaking to see countries like Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia trying to tackle this epidemic with inadequate public health infrastructure and trained public health and medical workforce that could have averted it with modest investment.
It is a global health security imperative to contain Ebola in West Africa and to prevent its spread across the continent and beyond.

On the streets of Tegucigalpa or San Salvador or Santo Domingo or in the capitals of five other Central American countries, few people would be able to provide an answer to this question: What is the Council of Ministers of Health of Central America's (COMISCA)?
Despite the understandable lack of awareness, COMISCA has emerged as an important—and effective—mechanism for improving public health across the region. It has unified eight disparate nations into a singular force in the fight against leading causes of death and illness. CDC is one of COMISCA's prime partners.
COMISCA's mandate and reason for existence, in fact, is both straightforward and crucial: improve public health in a part of the world beset by health challenges, strained budgets, and technical limitations by joining forces and combining resources. The idea is that by locking arms, sharing data and logistics, and agreeing on a public health blueprint, people in every country will be better protected from illness.
That is good news for the member countries: Belize, Costa Rica, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, and the Dominican Republic. COMISCA is led by ministers of health from the countries with the Council's chair rotating every 6 months.
Since its creation in 1991, COMISCA has shown promise almost from the start. Results, in fact, can already be found in each of the member countries. The ethos is captured in the title of a 2009 document outlining the goals and targets for 2010–2015: "United for the Health of Our People."
Some of the goals are obvious. Consolidating national surveillance systems and sentinel integrated viral and bacterial diseases is one. Joining forces in a unified and comprehensive way in battle against HIV/AIDS is another. Refining the system for detecting influenza and other infectious diseases to make it more sensitive, accurate, and universal is yet another legitimate aspiration.
Its potential for success and capacity to join forces are the main reasons why CDC not only recognizes COMISCA's promise but why CDC has fully embraced the organization by offering both financial and technical support, becoming CDC's most important strategic partner.
CDC, in fact, is currently COMISCA's largest funding partner, providing approximately $1.3 million per year. Laboratories and disease surveillance are two of the major focuses in the partnership. That emphasis is underscored by CDC's five-year cooperative agreement with COMISCA designed to develop a regional public health surveillance and laboratory network in the region.
The agreement, which was finalized in 2010, provides funding and technical guidance necessary to create a more robust and effective surveillance network and an upgraded laboratory system. It also includes tools to improve emergency preparedness for Central America and the Dominican Republic while enhancing regional cooperation.
At its core, the goal is to build a more comprehensive surveillance platform that can effortlessly share public health information while also supporting the regional implementation of WHO/PAHO International Health Regulations.
Those are lofty but sufficiently vague goals. In real-life, on-the-ground terms, COMISCA has, in recent years, been a conduit for
It's a strong record with numerous and demonstrable achievements. But the challenges are also large and demonstrable which means the work of COMISCA and its partners, including CDC, is far from finished.]]>
As the world's fourth most populated country, Indonesia plays an important strategic role in protecting the global community from infectious disease threats. As one of the early countries to take a leadership role in the Global Health Security (GHS) Agenda, the Government of Indonesia will welcome senior health and agricultural leaders from 36 countries and 12 international organizations for the next commitment meeting August 20-21. The meeting, "Building Global Commitment to Multisectoral Approaches to Manage Emerging Zoonotic Diseases in Support of the Global Health Security Agenda within the Framework of Public Health", demonstrates the progress and growing momentum of the GHS Agenda.
CDC has collaborated with Indonesia for more than fifty years. Short- and long-term technical assistance from CDC staff has helped the Indonesian Ministry of Health (MoH) address a wide range of high-priority public health needs, including communicable diseases, noncommunicable diseases, injuries, and strengthening surveillance. As CDC Country Director in Indonesia for the last three years, it has been an honor and privilege to work alongside our Indonesian counterparts to advance public health and the GHS Agenda.
Recent CDC and Indonesia MoH collaborations include support for maternal and child health and malaria control and elimination, surveillance for influenza and respiratory diseases, immunizations, enhancing laboratory-based early warning surveillance systems, and the Field Epidemiology Training Program. CDC works closely with the World Health Organization (WHO), UNICEF, and USAID in supporting collaborations with the MoH.
The GHS Agenda is a WHO Member State-driven effort to accelerate progress toward global implementation of the International Health Regulations (IHR), building on the IHR obligations of all Member States to collaborate in the development, strengthening, and maintenance of IHR core capacities. Participation in the GHS Agenda is open to all Member States who can make a specific commitment to accelerate measurable progress toward the GHS Agenda objectives.
Through focused leadership and high-level political will, the GHS Agenda aims to bring together other sectors in addition to health (including agriculture, security, development, and foreign affairs) in a whole-of-government—as well as a whole-of-society—approach to address infectious disease threats.
As we look ahead to the next GHS Agenda event at the White House on September 26, when nations around the world will present their comprehensive and integrated commitments, the meeting this week in Indonesia underscores Indonesia's commitment to global health security and its important role in the international community and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).

CDC and our partners are currently fighting the biggest and most complex outbreak of Ebola virus disease ever recorded.
There are hundreds of cases in West Africa and now a new cluster of cases in Nigeria is very concerning. The spread of Ebola shows what happens if we don't have meticulous infection control, contact tracing, and proper isolation of those with symptoms of the disease.
There are two things that are very important to understand about how Ebola spreads.
The evidence suggests that Ebola only spreads from sick people—not from people who have been exposed to the disease but haven't yet become sick from it. The illness has an average 8-10 day incubation period, although in rare instances the incubation period may be as short as two days or as long as 21 days, which is why we recommend monitoring for 21 days after any potential exposure.
People are not contagious during that incubation period; they become contagious only when they start having symptoms.
Second, the evidence shows that Ebola outbreaks aren't propagated by casual contact or through the air or in water.
Ebola is transmitted through direct contact with body fluids of an infected, symptomatic sick person, or exposure to objects such as needles that have been contaminated.
This is a disease that has been hard to stop in Africa, but if it were to show up here, we can stop in the United States.
Ebola virus disease spreads in Africa through inadequate infection control in hospitals as well as through traditional burial ceremonies that directly expose people to body fluids. We can avoid those problems here.
The standard, rigorous infection control procedures used in hospitals in the United States will prevent spread of Ebola.
The problem isn't that Ebola is highly infectious—it's not.
It's that the stakes are so high.
So the key to contain the virus is to have meticulous, rigorous procedures in place to ensure adherence to scrupulous infection control.
In the past decade, the United States has had five imported cases of hemorrhagic fevers—one of Marburg and four of Lassa, both viruses that are similar to Ebola. Each time, the American public health system identified the cases and through scrupulous infection control procedures prevented any one else from becoming ill.
The best way to protect Americans is to stop the outbreak in West Africa.
We know how to control Ebola. Previous outbreaks of Ebola virus disease have been contained by patient isolation, rigorous use of infection control measures in hospitals, intensive and thorough contact tracing in affected communities, and community education.
CDC, the World Health Organization, and our partners are committing to deliver a surge of resources and expertise to help end this outbreak. Far too many lives have been lost already. We have a difficult road ahead, which will take many months, but we must redouble our efforts to bring this terrible outbreak under control.
CDC is sending at least 50 public health staff to West Africa in the next few weeks. These staff members include epidemiologists, data managers, health educators, and other specialists who can assist with efforts to control the outbreak.
We have stopped every previous outbreak of Ebola in Africa, and CDC is ready to help the World Health Organization stop this one, too.
As part of the Global Health Security Agenda, a partnership of the U. S. government, WHO and other multilateral organizations and non-government actors, the President's FY 2015 budget includes $45 million for CDC to accelerate progress in detection, prevention, and response and potentially reduce some of the direct and indirect costs of infectious diseases. Improving these capabilities for each nation improves health security for all nations.
It's like fighting a forest fire.
Leave behind one burning ember and the epidemic could re-ignite.
That ember could be one case undetected, one contact not traced or health care worker not effectively protected, or burial ceremony conducted unsafely.
Our efforts will not only stop these outbreaks, but we are working to leave behind stronger laboratories, emergency operations centers, and trained public health staff who can prevent, detect, and stop future outbreaks of Ebola and other diseases before they spread.

The ambition and scope of the Global Health Security Agenda are clear. Its reach can be discerned from the very first word: global. The Agenda's overarching goal is just as expansive—making the world safer and more secure by preventing epidemics and outbreaks, detecting them more rapidly, and responding effectively to lessen the health, economic, and societal consequences from disease threats.
Less obvious, but no less true, is that African ownership will be central and fundamental in shaping the way the Global Health Security Agenda evolves worldwide, the way it is enacted and refined, and to a large extent, how it succeeds.
CDC and African nations have been close and successful partners for many decades in the battle to protect and improve public health. In many ways, the concepts, practices, and tools that are central to the Global Health Security Agenda are drawn from experiences honed with our partners in Africa over many years.
The needs—and justification—for this enhanced approach are beyond dispute. New diseases are occurring and spreading, drug resistance is rising, and more laboratories are working with dangerous bacteria and viruses. In today's compressed world, it's no exaggeration to say the next disease threat is only a plane ride away. It's also true that there are dangerous gaps in detection, response, and prevention that must be closed.
The lessons from our collaborative work in Africa illuminate and inform our thinking and actions. It's also true that accomplishments have already been achieved as a result of strong and longstanding partnerships between the U.S. and African nations to prevent the spread of diseases. In 2013, for example, CDC collaborated with partners in Uganda to strengthen lab systems, improve the capacity of emergency operation centers, and work toward real-time data sharing in health emergencies.
For years, CDC has worked with many partners and countries across Africa to develop Field Epidemiology Training Programs (FETP) to train field epidemiologists. These programs are very important in building capacity for detecting and responding to health threats and developing systems that can help quickly detect diseases and prevent them from spreading. CDC's Sub-Saharan Africa FETPs have responded to outbreaks ranging from polio in Cameroon and Nigeria, monkeypox in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Lassa fever in Nigeria.
More needs to be done however.
With the current Ebola outbreak in Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone and diseases like cholera and typhoid affecting thousands in Africa, it is more important than ever to improve public health systems through a coordinated surveillance and effective response.
It's fair to ask: Would a fully realized and implemented Global Health Security Agenda have prevented the Ebola outbreak in West Africa, which now is the largest in history? Probably not. Would it have made a difference? Most would say yes in terms of saving lives, through earlier detection, an early alert and communication system, and a more coordinated response by a wider collection of nations equipped with Emergency Operations Centers operating with more universal rules and standards. Each of those goals is a central element of the Global Health Security Agenda.
Enhancing global health security is a priority for the U.S. government and for CDC. Yet the U.S. government cannot achieve global health security alone. It needs to be a priority for every nation because we all share common risks. Global health security is a shared responsibility as well. Just as it's been for years with our partners in Africa and we look forward to making that partnership even stronger in the years ahead.

Hmm I'm finding this thread very interesting. Had an s3 since June and it has been brilliant. I don't really hammer it often so an average day is reading emails, a little surfing and the odd text MSG. With that in mind, I easily get at least 48 hours from a charge. I do have wifi, gps and Bluetooth turned off permanently but have sync and mobile data on.
In the last 2 days I have been getting the problem the OP has. Battery drains within a day with no use, somewhere around 8% an hour in standby. Battery usage shows this to be Cell Standby.
As far as I can work out I haven't changed anything. My apps have been updated and i have installed a couple of new apps but deleted those (adobe air and sky sports centre) with no luck. The only app I can definetly recall has updated was light flow lite but turning that off completely does nothing to improve it.
Running android version 4.0.4 at the moment in the uk. I don't have K9 mail installed (I think?) and have made no changes to how my email clients work. Very frustrated with this. I turned the phone onto airplane mode and it went back to normal, I turned off the sync option on the drop down menu and it still drained quickly so seems to be something to do with the signal perhaps?
Been loving using my s3, want it back to how it was!

High stakes are involved in the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade negotiations: the United States seems to be on the verge of redirecting Asian regionalism towards an Asia–Pacific trade grouping that proclaims will not tolerate sectoral exclusions and will tackle head on non-tariff barriers (long considered glaring deficiencies of most free trade agreements). However, U.S. domestic politics may prevent the realization of these lofty objectives. The influence of internal political constraints is evident in three areas: (i) the United States has pushed for a hybrid approach on market access negotiations that clouds the prospects of TPP adhering to the no-carve-out mantra; (ii) U.S. trade negotiators have ramped up their negotiation objectives into a so-called platinum standard that could impose heavy preconditions on accession for new members and diminish the chances of growing the TPP membership; and (iii) the protracted ratification process and lack of trade promotion authority undermines the credibility of the United States in the eyes of prospective trade partners.

Lake Ontario Cabin Rentals(10)
10 Results
Lake Ontario
Recent Lake Ontario Reviews
Super weekend
Myself and 4 other guys wanted to head to Pulaski for some Salmon fishing and we made a fantastic choice renting this cabin. The cabin was absolutely fully stocked truly beyond anything we could have imagined. Mark was there at the cabin to meet us as we arrived and make sure we were familiar with the cabin and amenities. The NY Yankees barbecue utensils were fantastic especially for the 2 die hard Red Sox fans that were with us. Made for some fantastic laughs/friendly competitive rivalries! It was extremely evident that Mark truly wanted to make sure we did not want for anything. It was overstocked with pots, pans, dishes, cups, utensils, spices galore, all necessary condiments, coffee pot (Urgent of course), fresh bottled water and large hot/cold water dispenser you name it... anything and everything that we needed. Right outside the back door was the lake which I absolutely loved. We spent 3 days and 2 nights in the cabin and I did not hear 1 negative word about the cabin from any of the 5 of us there. Oh yeah, except for the snoring! Mark left us with a very nice home to stay in and ensured we had everything we could have needed. We would absolutely rent this home again and I give it my highest recommendation to any others considering this home.
This was our first time booking a vacation rental online. We were skeptical to trust the reviews as we know that not everything you read online is accurate. Once we began communicating with Greg, the owner, and then arrived at the the cabin and looked around, we knew right away that the reviews and comments we very accurate! We are familiar with the Pulaski area as we have camped in a nearby site for many years. With a growing family that now includes three children between the ages of four months and five years of age, we were looking to find something that felt more like home yet was far away from the regular routines of being at home. This cabin did that and more! It had all the necessities that a family with (or without) children would need and added luxuries to make it feel like we were on a vacation. It was beautifully secluded, kid-friendly, and close enough to local attractions that we could enjoy a different activity (fishing, Salmon River Falls, museums and historical attractions, etc.) each day. During our first night at the cabin, we were already thinking about friends and family that we could invite for future family vacations. More importantly, we were already considering a romantic getaway. (No kids allowed!) This cabin has all the bases covered in terms of who would enjoy a stay. From a guys hunting trip, ladies getaway (wine and relax), a couple's romantic retreat, to families with children of all ages, this cabin can meet all of your needs. To make the entire experience even better, Greg was wonderful to work with. He was flexible, easy to communicate with and trustworthy. As I mentioned, this was our first time planning a vacation using an online source. We had many questions and he was patient and willing to answer them. This proved to be a situation where the reviews were accurate and insightful. We trusted others reviews and our gut instincts. In the end, it was a great vacation and one that we won't forget!
Owner and Property Charming!!
My family and I have rented Lillie's property for many years now. She is wonderful and accomodating and is always eager to please. The cabin is filled with charm and has everything needed to complete anyone's vacation. As soon as we leave the cabin, we are already talking about going back. We hope to go back this Augst if it is available. :-)

I was tagged by Cassie and figured it's time my blog got a little more personal.
1) I'm from Israel, where I spent most of the first 18 years of my life. I hated it when I lived there, but now that I live far away my feelings for it are fonder.
2) I REALLY LOVE MAKING LISTS. I love organizing shit. Making to-do lists is one of my favourite methods of procrastination.
3) When I was younger I hated my hair. I had bad haircuts and I had no idea how you were supposed to deal with curly hair so I did it all wrong. I hated the way it looked so much that I ended up getting it chemically straightened every 6 months for a couple of years near the end of high school. When I moved here I couldn't afford to do that anymore so I stopped. Once I got a good haircut and learned to take care of curly hair I realised it was actually awesome and I've come to adore it.
4) I've had roughly 20 cats over the course of my childhood. No more than two adult cats at a time, though sometimes we had kittens.
5) I've kept every sketchbook I've used since I was 13. That's 12 years' worth of sketchbooks. I brought all of the earlier ones with me in my suitcase when I came to Australia. When I moved here all I could bring was one carry-on bag and one 20kg suitcase and that's it, those were going to be all of my belongings. My sketchbooks are one of the only pieces of my histroy I brought along with me. I still keep every sketchbook to this day. They take up a whole big shelf.

Comments about Tl Pour Lui By Ted Lapidus:
A fresh scent that stands out from other orientals at its price, or anywhere else.
An intial, safe, unoffensive can be heard from the soft and underpowering lavender and mint bound together by a confident pleasant vanilla note.
Seemingly standard, yet a standout in that Tl Pour Lui exhibits the freshness and youth one would expect from its citrus while displaying a warmer, sweeter side from the vanillia.
Good value for price

This scent smells delicious, I just wish it was a little stronger.. Maybe in warmer weather it projects more and last longer, I'll have to wait and see but as it is now it just seems too weak.. This would be in my top 4 if it was a little stronger.. The prices and shipping costs on this site are going up so much that it will be awhile before I can order anymore.. I've bought Dunhill Desire and Joop! from here but I've had to search elsewhere to find prices I can afford..

Tech News & Commentary
By PATRICK SEITZ
Posted 06/17/2013 07:10 PM ET
Social network leader Facebook (FB) has scheduled a media event for Thursday presumably to show off what a great copycat it is.
TechCrunch reported Monday that Facebook will announce that its Instagram photo-sharing app will allow people to share short videos as well. You know, just like Twitter's popular Vine mobile app. Except that Instagram video sharing might allow for videos of up to 10 seconds in length. Vine videos can be up to six seconds in length, but they replay in a loop just like familiar GIF videos.
Previous speculation was that Facebook would announce a news reader like Google's (GOOG) soon-to-be retired Google Reader and competing RSS services like Feedly. These reports followed an announcement by Facebook last week that it would start using hashtags to let people follow trending topics. You know, just like on Twitter, Tumblr and Pinterest.

Oh, and before that, Facebook announced on May 29 that it was launching verified pages to help people find the authentic accounts of celebrities and other high-profile people and businesses on Facebook. You know, just like Twitter. Verified accounts on Facebook even bear a small blue check mark like Twitter. Facebook said it's rolling out verified profiles as well.
Wow, Mark Zuckerberg and company have been working on some truly innovative stuff lately.
No, not so much.
The one place where Facebook did display some innovation recently was with its Facebook Home software. That product, announced April 4, was designed as a new user interface for Google Android-based smartphones. Home essentially takes over your Android phone, puts Facebook apps front and center, and buries all your other apps.
Home bombed with consumers.

LinkedIn continued to ease slowdown concerns Thursday night with stronger-than-expected Q3 earnings and revenue growth amid gains in mobile and China.

The market delivered a fair amount of new highs Wednesday, although many stocks gave back early gains. The Nasdaq notched a distribution day, weighed down by weakness in Facebook (NASDAQ:FB).

Americans have no idea how unequal the distribution of income is. At the same time, they want a distribution of income that is much more equal than it currently is.
According to a new study by Sorapop Kiatpongsan and Michael I. Norton [pdf], where they looked at the estimated and ideal pay ratios of CEOs and unskilled workers, American respondents estimated the ratio of estimated incomes of CEOs to unskilled workers to be 29.6, whereas the actual ratio was about 354 (based on the fact that the average yearly compensation for CEOs of S&P 500 companies in 2012 was $12.3 million while the average worker received about $35,000). Their ideal pay ratio was only 7.
In other words, Americans think that CEOs should receive about 7 times what the average worker brings home, imagine that the actual ratio is much higher (by a factor of about four), while the actual ratio is far higher than either what they think it is (by a factor of twelve) and what the ideal would be (by a factor of over fifty).
As it turns out, Americans are not alone.
Using survey data from 40 countries (N = 55,238), we compare respondents' estimates of the wages of people in different occupations – chief executive officers, cabinet ministers, and unskilled workers – to their ideals for what those wages should be. We show that ideal pay gaps between skilled and unskilled workers are significantly smaller than estimated pay gaps, and that there is consensus across countries, socioeconomic status, and political beliefs for ideal pay ratios. Moreover, data from 16 countries reveals that people dramatically underestimate actual pay inequality.
The task, of course, is to figure out how to close the enormous gap between the actual level of inequality and what people think the amount of inequality should be. We can start by giving workers more say in running the enterprises where they are employed.

Chart of the dayPosted: 27 August 2014 in Uncategorized
Tags: CEOs, chart, corporations, productivity, wages, workers
According to the Economic Policy Institute [pdf],
For all but the highest earners, hourly wages have either stagnated or declined since 1979 (with the exception of a period of strong across-the-board wage growth in the late 1990s). Median hourly wages rose just 6.1 percent (or 0.2 percent annually) between 1979 and 2013, compared with a decline of 5.3 percent (or -0.2 percent annually) for the 10th percentile worker (i.e., the worker who earns more than only 10 percent of workers). Over the same period, the 95th percentile worker saw growth of 40.6 percent, for an annual gain of 1.0 percent.
During that same period, productivity in the U.S. economy grew 64.9 percent.
Only the "wages" of the top 1 percent (when measured in terms of real annual wages) surpassed the growth of productivity. The cumulative change in the wages of all other groups was less.
In other words, most of the growing amount of value produced by American workers wasn't paid back to them in the form of wages but, instead, was either retained by their employers or distributed to a tiny group of CEOs and managers at the top.

Tags: CEOs, chart, surplus, wages, workers
In charting the amount of the surplus that ends up in the hands (or, if you prefer, pockets or bank accounts) of CEOs, the Economic Policy Institute finds that:
- Average CEO compensation was $15.2 million in 2013, using a comprehensive measure of CEO pay that covers CEOs of the top 350 U.S. firms and includes the value of stock options exercised in a given year, up 2.8 percent since 2012 and 21.7 percent since 2010.
- From 1978 to 2013, CEO compensation, inflation-adjusted, increased 937 percent, a rise more than double stock market growth and substantially greater than the painfully slow 10.2 percent growth in a typical worker's compensation over the same period.
- The CEO-to-worker compensation ratio was 20-to-1 in 1965 and 29.9-to-1 in 1978, grew to 122.6-to-1 in 1995, peaked at 383.4-to-1 in 2000, and was 295.9-to-1 in 2013, far higher than it was in the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, or 1990s.
- If Facebook, which they exclude from their data due to its outlier high compensation numbers, were included in the sample, average CEO pay was $24.8 million in 2013, and the CEO-to-worker compensation ratio was 510.7-to-1.

Google News Makes Quotes More Discoverable
The Google News Blog announced that they will now display quotes within articles when they think your query and the content warrants it.
For example, a search on Google's CEO, Eric Schmidt, returns a quote at the top of the Google News search page. Here is a screen capture:
You can see that the latest quote from Eric Schmidt that Google News has found is listed at the top of the results. If you click on the link "by Eric Schmidt" on the lower right corner of the quote, you will be taken to more quotes from Eric Schmidt derived from various articles.
Then, if you want to find specific quotes from Eric Schmidt on a specific topic, you can. In the left panel, at the bottom of this page, you can "Search these quotes." For example, if you want to find quotes from Schmidt on "mobile," just add that to your query and presto.
This new feature only returns "recent quotes," I suspect within 30 days or so. It would be nice for the advanced new search to contain a feature to search for quotes only by name or search phrase. In addition, this would be a wonderful feature to add to Archive News Search.
