To view pictures set to sounds of The Two Bills, click here
Feb. 19, 2013
By Jason MisnerCOMMUNICATIONS OFFICER, HDSB STAFF
With tears in her eyes, Vi Connolly watched a dozen Grade 10 drama students from T.A. Blakelock High School perform a moving play partly documenting her and her husband Bill's experience of enlisting in World War II.
Drama students performed Jan. 23 The Two Bills, a docudrama they wrote and directed about the lives of Bill Connolly and Bill Stewart, who were Canadian soldiers serving aboard the HMCS Athabaskan during the Battle of the Atlantic. The production depicted how the two Bills were captured as POWs after their ship was struck and sank during battle. Despite their hardships, both men promised to return home to their sweethearts. Naval dignitaries also attended to show support.
With Connolly in the audience, the students said they were nervous but proud to be able to tell her story and help others learn more about the emotional toll of war. Connolly said the students had nothing to worry about as they did a wonderful job, noting her late husband would have been so proud.
"I had a good cry in my seat," she said, adding she approved of the play's plot immediately when she was approached about it awhile back. "It was very real. These kids did the greatest job without knowing Bill. I enjoyed the students more than anything. Bill would have enjoyed this thoroughly and he would've wanted to meet every one of these children."
Students spent only a few weeks researching the lives of the two Bills, learning historical accounts of battle and connecting with former U.K. history teacher and current Blakelock educational assistant Tom Dykes, who spoke to the families.
Dramatic arts teacher Sarah Robert was impressed by what her students had accomplished in a short period of time.
"Every technical and artistic element was created and produced by these students," she said. "They tackled many aspects of the story – a funeral for the men lost at sea, wartime cinemas/dance halls right before men had left, the vital role the postal service played in communications, conditions on the boat, manipulation in a POW camp, women in the workforce, statistical information about the cost of WWII, and lastly the emotions of a young couple being reunited."
Grade 10 dramatic arts students are to create a docudrama as their final performance task, Robert explained. It must be 30 minutes long, it needs to be based on historical fact, have a choreographed dance and must use five or six different dramatic techniques like mime.
"They put in so much extra time to rehearse – even working together on weekends at each others houses – in the short amount of time they were given to produce what I believe was amazing."
Student Michelle Fernandes, who played Vi, said the play was a "great experience" and strengthened her acting skills.
"I think it went really well," she said. "It was really emotional to know this actually happened to somebody. I tried my best to bring my emotions out. I think we represented it in a good way."
Student Will Hutchison, 15, who played Bill Connolly, said the play was thrilling to perform.
"This is a real-life story and you feel more pressure to capture the character," he explained. "It was really amazing to get the information and to be able to portray it in art form. It was a feeling like I've never really had before. I feel honoured to be able to do this."
The mere thought of fighting in war is unthinkable, Hutchison says.
"This is what people, only a couple of years older than me, had to deal with in the Second World War. I'm lucky to live in this time and not have to deal with those pressures." In addition to becoming a moving story for family members to watch, former teacher Dykes will send a video copy of The Two Bills play to the Juno Beach Museum exhibit and will also include it in a Battle of the Atlantic presentation he will deliver in London, England this spring.

SIFF SIFF 2007: Weekend Highlights
posted by June 2 at 7:53 AMon
The Stranger's recommendations for every slot in America's biggest film festival continue below and at www.thestranger.com/siff.
SATURDAY JUNE 2 (happy birthday, mom!)
SIFF Cinema, 11 am. Should you take your kids to The Three Musketeers or the penguin surfing movie that will be saturating every screen in the nation starting next Friday? I wonder.
Pacific Place, 1:30 pm. Tsai Ming Liang's I Don't Want to Sleep Alone is a fascinating, sad, and lovely film by a really, really important filmmaker. It may or may not be returning to Seattle. Do. Not. Miss.
The late afternoon slot should go to Strange Culture (SIFF Cinema at 3:30 pm) if you're into art and politics; Big Rig (Egyptian at 3:15 pm) if you're a hipster. Aw, but I'm being mean. Doug Pray's trucker doc sounds great.
SIFF Cinema, 7 pm. Seattle film historian David Jeffers makes the case for the 1919 Aussie silent A Sentimental Bloke over at Siffblog:
The Sentimental Bloke is a rare surviving silent feature from a foreign, English[-language] market. It is considered by many to be the best example of regional Australian film from that period. It is currently unavailable on commercial video, anywhere, and is rarely seen outside of Australia[…] This film will not be screened at the SFSFF (San Francisco Silent Film Festival), so to the best of my knowledge this is the only currently scheduled screening available within a reasonable distance (if you know otherwise, please let me know, I asked!).
The late evening decision is hard. Kurt Cobain About a Son (Neptune, 9:30 pm) makes Aberdeen (and other PNW environs) look beautiful.
Running on Empty is a strong existential film from Germany about a traveling salesman. And Amy Kate recommends the zombie comedy Fido (Lincoln Square at 9:15 pm).
Neptune, midnight. It's all about the NZ horror comedy about lambs coming home to roost. Or something. This is the last screening of Black Sheep before it opens in Seattle later this summer.
Harvard Exit, 11 am. Start your Sunday off right with a cool drink of '70s Catalan: Life on the Edge (original, way cooler title La Vida Abismal). Kathy Fennessy calls the plot "a wisp of a thing," but identifies a new god in the acting pantheon. He has a mustache.
Solid choices in the early afternoon slot: David Schmader adores For the Bible Tells Me So (Egyptian at 1:30 pm), but I just saw Jessica Yu's classically inspired experimental doc Protagonist (Lincoln Square at 1 pm), and the ex-ex-gay ex-minister featured therein sure gives all the homos in Bible a run for their money. Also good: Tell No One (Neptune at 1:30 pm).
Lincoln Square, 3:30 pm. It's back to Bellevue for the Romanian drama Offset.
SIFF Cinema, 7 pm. Who doesn't love a grisly tale of cannibal fetishists? Grimm Love is based on the story recounted in this Savage Love column from 2003. Ew.
SIFF Cinema, 9:30 pm. Lindy West has nothing but good things to say about the dark Icelandic film Children.

Broadway, make way for Prince Ali.
Coming off the heels of its 20th anniversary, the Disney hit "Aladdin" is heading to the stage to bewitch a whole new crop of theater-goers.

Doing a search for this I couldn't find a specific thread that dealt with comments initiating this issue:
WordPress database error You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'AND comment_approved = '1' ORDER BY comment_date_gmt DESC LIMIT 15' at line 1 for query SELECT wp_comments.* FROM wp_comments WHERE comment_post_ID = AND comment_approved = '1' ORDER BY comment_date_gmt DESC LIMIT 15
I do recall generating this error when I was using the OpenID plugin, but I gave up on that ages ago. I can't figure out what is causing the error because I personally can't seem to recreate it.
Suggestions? I'm totally lost!

LAREDO (July 5, 2010)--Manuel Arizola, 21, his girlfriend Johanna Sandoval, 21, and their 11-month-old son, Romen Arizola, died Saturday in a head-on collision between their car and an 18-wheeler on Interstate 35 as they were driving to San Antonio.
DPS Trooper Tony Salas said the crash happened about 9:30 a.m. Saturday on Interstate 35 northbound about 45 miles north of Laredo when a southbound tractor-trailer rig filled with sand crossed the median into the car's path.
Salas says said Arizola's 13-year-old sister, Victoria Connie Arizola, was airlifted to a San Antonio hospital in critical condition.

F1 top dog Sebastian Vettel proved he is a champion joker as he unveiled the new Red Bull racer in Milton Keynes on Sunday.
When asked about his three-years of domination stretching to a fourth the German came up with a Hitler jibe.
Asked about his plans for "world domination" Vettel said: "I'm German but I didn't say that. I have no moustache."
While his rivals have all laid claim to extra-intensive pre-season preparations to try and end the 25-year-old racer's three-year reign he has gone about things rather differently.
Vettel said he had spent the off-season "mostly at home doing some DIY".
But he admitted three years of soaring success is no guarantee it would easily become four.
"I'm very excited. Now we have to see whether it works as good as it looks," he said.
"It all starts again from zero, a very tough challenge. I'm not really looking back to last year, but there is again pressure to do well.
"It will be tough to win a fourth world title because the other teams will do everything to try and beat us."
Designer Adrian Newey admitted Red Bull face a stiffer task keeping their top dog status because the fight right to the finish line last year had left them racing against the clock while building this year's car.
"It was difficult trying to develop this year's car given the championship battle from last year, and to have it here two days before the first test is remarkable," said Newey.
"The most significant change this year will be the new Pirelli tyres, but we're only going to find out anything about them once we start testing. We had them for a practice session last season but the weather was against us all.
"With no big regulation changes, it's very much an evolutionary car with the devil very much in the detail as we've tidied up a few bits from last year."
Red Bull threw the blankets back over their new race machine minutes after its unveiling to keep prying eyes from its new curves.
But even a brief glance seems to suggest they have gone of a different system geometry to rivals McLaren and Ferrari and a more radical version of the stepped platypus nose than the rest.

37: A Final Promise (NR)
Mining sympathy for such a character is difficult but not impossible: Stephen Dorff, reportedly director and co-writer Batinkoff's original choice for the lead, pulled it off with Sofia Coppola in Somewhere. But 37 has neither that movie's unaffected portrayal of a celebrity milieu (a drunk Penelope Allen shouting on the sidewalk seems a strange way to establish Adam's fame), nor its wise preference for small moments of insight over heightened, blown-up drama.
Sadly, much of what transpires in 37 is inspired by actual events: Batinkoff and co-screenwriter Jesse Stratton adapted the material from How Angels Die, a memoir by Guy Blews. But Batinkoff's inexperience as a filmmaker — he's a veteran actor making his directorial debut — keeps that authenticity from shining through. Hurried, unconvincing dips into subjectivity — largely involving Adam's visions of a little boy whose identity is eventually revealed — clash with uncertain bursts of style, as in a driving scene in which the bizarre variety of angles makes no dramatic or logical sense. The writing is likewise lacking in conviction: symbolic digressions are awkwardly integrated into Adam and Jemma's conversations, and there's a painfully wrongheaded moment when a doctor (Leon Robinson), after diagnosing Jemma with a terminal illness, states, "At least this entitles you to the good stuff."

Kim does it again! Fantastic book!,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Skinny Bitch: Ultimate Everyday Cookbook: Crazy Delicious Recipes that Are Good to the Earth and Great for Your Bod (Hardcover)
I was excited to buy this book because I already owned the original Skinny Bitch and I absolutely loved it. There were quite a few differences between the two books. There are actually pictures of the recipes, there are mini-articles about health breakthroughs, etc. It is not a waste of money to get both of them. This one is a little more mild, the way that the author presents the information is not as much "in your face" as the original. I am very pleased with this book. There are a lot of delicious recipes, and they seem to always turn out very well. I have already made 6 and they are all very tasty! You will not be disappointed, if you liked the first one, you will LOVE this one! If you didn't like the first one, you will LOVE this one!

Rated 5 out of 5�by 1 reviewer.
Rated 5 out of 5�by NewCamper Terrific Purchase Washing dishes is a hassle when camping. I bought this to help make that chore easier. It works better than advertised and contains a bonus. It also works very well as a sink for personal hygiene. The two pockets for holding water are great for washing/shaving in one and rinsing in the other. The drying section in the middle conveniently holds soap, shaving accessories, etc. Oh yeah, it also comes with a piece that allows you to use the tripod as a stool. I didn't know that and it came in very handy. I love tools that perform multiple uses especially when packing space is limited. August 28, 2013

Senate Strikes Deal That Likely Averts Government Shutdown
It looks like the government will be funded until Nov. 18. According to multiple news reports, Senate leaders announced they have come to an agreement that will likely avoid a partial shutdown of the government.
As we've reported, Republicans and Democrats were at an impasse over extra funding for the cash strapped Federal Emergency Management Agency. Democrats wanted to give the extra funds to the agency, while Republicans proposed handing it over, only if spending cuts elsewhere paid for it.
As the AP reports, the breakthrough came after the agency told Congress it had enough money to operate until Friday, the end of the fiscal year. The extra funding was cut from the Senate bill and it's now expected to pass both chambers without issue.
The AP adds:
Senate passage of the legislation was expected within hours. There was no immediate comment from Republican leaders in the House, although their agreement seemed a formality.
The events assured there would be no interruption in assistance in areas battered by disasters such as Hurricane Irene and last summer's tornados in Joplin, Mo., and also that the government would be able to run normally when the new budget year begins on Saturday.
Politico does sound a note of caution, saying that FEMA officials said "their projections are tentative and fluid and could easily change if there's a significant uptick in the number of claims requesting emergency assistance or if another disaster strikes."

Senegal's Orchestra Baobab in Concert
Orchestra Baobab in concert on Creators at Carnegie - 05/14/2005
Youri Lenquette
A few years ago, the man behind the Buena Vista Social Club, Nick Gold, approached a group of Senegalese musicians he was crazy about — the Orchestra Baobab. In the 1970s and '80s, they were masters of blending African and Cuban dance rhythms. Gold convinced them to get back on the road, and now they're more successful than ever, melding salsa rhythms with African beats on stage at Carnegie Hall.

Jose Saramago, Winner of Nobel Prize in Literature, Dies at 87
Jose Saramago, winner of the 1998 Nobel Prize in literature for early novels that explored historical themes from unconventional angles and later works in which inexplicable events threaten society's underpinnings, has died. He was 87.
The writer died earlier today at his home in Lanzarote, Spain, after a lengthy illness, according to the website of the Jose Saramago Foundation.
Saramago, the only Portuguese winner of the literary prize, was 60 before he wrote most of the novels for which he was honored, having worked as a car mechanic, civil servant, production manager in a publishing company and newspaper editor before becoming a full-time writer.
He joined the Portuguese Communist Party in 1969, during a dictatorship that had outlawed the party, and was a contentious figure in the nation's public life.
After a military-led government with Communist participation took power in 1974, Saramago the next year became deputy director of a leading newspaper, Diario de Noticias, where opponents on the staff said he helped impose pro-government news coverage. He was fired after a November 1975 confrontation that reduced the Communists' role in the government.
In 1991, the government blocked the nomination of his novel, "The Gospel According to Jesus Christ," for a European literary prize, calling it offensive to Catholics. In the book, Saramago portrays a Jesus who has sex with Mary Magdalene and is a pawn in a power struggle between God and the Devil. The government's decision prompted him and his wife, Spanish journalist Pilar del Rio, to leave Portugal for Spain's Canary Islands, where he lived for the rest of his life.
'Ideologically Oriented'
In 2002, when he and other writers visited the Israeli-occupied West Bank, he said Israel was guilty of "a crime we put on the same plane as what happened as Auschwitz." He later said he chose the reference to Auschwitz to provoke a response from Israelis.
When Saramago won the Nobel, the Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano said the award was "ideologically oriented." The Nobel committee, in awarding the prize, praised the "rich, multifaceted" prose, the "wealth of imagination" and the "skillfully evoked atmosphere of unreality" in Saramago's works.
His writing was marked by long sentences and paragraphs, minimal punctuation and frequent digressions on human nature. "Probably I'm an essay writer who, as he doesn't know how to write essays, writes novels instead," he said in an interview cited in the Guardian newspaper in 2002.
U.S. literary critic Harold Bloom called Saramago "the most impressive living novelist, who overshadows all other living Europeans and all Americans too."
'Universal Themes'
Several of his novels in the 1980s examined periods of Portuguese history, including "Baltasar and Blimunda," a love story set in the early 18th century, and "The History of the Siege of Lisbon," about a proofreader at a publisher who rewrites the history of the 12th-century conquest of Lisbon.
His later books focused on other themes. "Blindness" described an unnamed city hit by an epidemic of unexplained sudden blindness, depicting the ensuing social and political breakdown. In "The Stone Raft" Iberia literally breaks off from the rest of Europe, and in "The Double," Saramago describes a man's reaction when he learns he has an exact physical double.
"He speaks about universal themes and really tackles social problems, love, passion, science," said Graca Almeida Rodrigues, a retired professor of Portuguese Studies at Lisbon's New University. "He goes beyond the problems of Portugal and takes on universal world problems."
Unenthusiastic Reviews
"Blindness" attracted the interest of Whoopi Goldberg, Gael Garcia Bernal and others who wanted to turn it into a movie, according to a New York Times profile of Saramago. He turned down all proposals for years before giving permission to Canadian screenwriter Don McKellar. The film opened the 2008 Cannes Film Festival, receiving mostly unenthusiastic reviews, with Le Monde and the Times calling Brazilian director Fernando Meirelles's rendition of the allegorical tale heavy-handed.
Jose de Sousa Saramago was born on Nov. 16, 1922, in Azinhaga, a village 100 kilometers (62 miles) northeast of Lisbon, "in a family of landless peasants," according to an autobiographical note on the Nobel website. His father took the family to Lisbon in 1924, though Jose spent long periods in Azinhaga with his grandparents until he was about 13 years old.
Auto Mechanic
His parents sent him to a technical school, where he studied for five years to be a mechanic, while studying literature mostly on his own. After working for two years in a car repair shop, he took a job in the government's Social Welfare Service.
He published a novel in the 1940s and wrote another that wasn't published, then gave up writing for 19 years, as "I had nothing worthwhile to say," he wrote on the Nobel site.
In the 1950s, Saramago, who had studied French in school, started doing translation work and took a job as a publishing company production manager, which gave him access to literary circles. From 1966 to 1973, he published two books of poems and two collections of newspaper articles.
In the early 1970s he was an editor at the Lisbon newspaper Diario de Lisboa, before his tumultuous stint at the Diario de Noticias in 1975. After his ouster there he focused full-time on writing. In 1995 he won the Camoes Prize, Portugal's top literary award.
Feted in Portugal
After winning the Nobel, Saramago, though still living in Spain, was feted in his home country. A publisher named a literary award for young writers after him, and the city of Beja in southern Portugal put his name on its municipal library.
Still, he didn't win universal affection from the Portuguese, many of whom hadn't read his work, partly because of its difficult style, Almeida Rodrigues said.
"The Portuguese find him somewhat arrogant," she said. "Portuguese who are outstanding tend to be recognized more outside the country than at home."
Saramago's first marriage, to Ilda Reis, ended in divorce in 1970. He remarried in 1988. He had a daughter, Violante, born in 1947.

The SOL Youth Baseball League is proud to announce that our home field, The John J. Wood "Field of Dreams", has recently received some amazing improvements. Thanks to the local electricity company, RECO (Roatan Electric Company), our field now has lights that will allow night games to be played! Through RECO's generous donation and with the assistance of Green Hill Energy Solutions, 4 posts, 18 lights and a transformer were installed!
SOL International Foundation is now in the process of organizing a 4-team tournament to include teams from La Ceiba, the capital city of Tegucigalpa,the nearby island of Utila, and of course the SOL International Roatan All-Stars. These teams of 12-13 year-old boys will play a round robin tournament on August 24-25 and a lighting ceremony will take place to dedicate the new lights. To our knowledge, this will mark the first time that a baseball game has been played under lights in Roatan!
Thanks to the support of the Roatan Rotary Club and 2 private donors, the "Field of Dreams" will also get a makeover before the tournament starts. Work is being done right now to construct a new backstop, 2 dugouts, spectator bleachers, and to complete the last 100' of the centerfield fence.
With the new lights and the additional spectator seating, we hope the John J Wood "Field of Dreams" will continue to become a popular community area that provides both children and adults with a positive environment to participate in organized sports activities. If you would like to contribute to this ongoing project's operating costs or the upcoming tournament, please make a donation to this Global Giving project!

NUSAP: a method to evaluate the quality of assumptions in quantitative microbial risk assessment

implemented to evaluate assumptions in a quantitative microbial risk assessment (QMRA) model for Salmonella spp. in minced pork meat. This QMRA model allows the testing of mitigation strategies for the reduction of human salmonellosis and aims to serve as a basis for science-based policy making. The NUSAP method was used to assess the subjective component of assumptions in the QMRA model by a set of four pedigree criteria: 'the influence of situational limitations', 'plausibility', 'choice space' and 'the agreement among peers'. After identifying 13 key assumptions relevant for the QMRA model, a workshop was organized to assess the importance of these assumptions on the output of the QMRA. The quality of the assumptions was visualized using diagnostic and kite diagrams. The diagnostic diagram pinpointed assumptions with a high degree of subjectivity and a high 'expected influence on the model results' score. Examples of those assumptions that should be dealt with care are the assumptions regarding the concentration of Salmonella on the pig carcass at the beginning of the slaughter process and the assumptions related to the Salmonella prevalence in the slaughter process. The kite diagrams allowed a clear overview of the pedigree scores for each assumption as well as a representation of expert (dis)agreement. The evaluation of the assumptions using the NUSAP system enhanced the debate on the uncertainty and its communication in the results of a QMRA model. It highlighted the model's strong and weak points and was helpful for redesigning critical modules. Since the evaluation of assumptions allows a more critical approach of the QMRA process, it is useful for policy makers as it aims to increase the transparency and acceptance of management decisions based on a QMRA model.

Chilling of carcasses from double muscled cattle: time-temperature evolution and predictive modelling of growth of Listeria monocytogenes and Clostridium perfringens

The time/temperature combination during carcass chilling is of concern in order to avoid bacterial growth. The chilling speed is lower in carcasses with high muscular development such as large cattle from the Belgian Blue breed. Three slaughterhouses were selected for temperature and pH measurements during the chilling process at 6 different days on 4 half carcasses in order to obtain representative data from heavy carcasses with high muscular development. Predictive microbiology was used to evaluate the potential growth of Listeria monocytogenes and Clostridium perfringens on the surface and in the depth of the carcasses. The gamma concept was chosen as secondary model taking into account the effect of temperature, pH and water activity on the selected bacteria during the chilling process. The predicted growth potential of Listeria monocytogenes is influenced by the different environmental conditions of the selected slaughterhouses and could reach 1.4 log CFU/cm² after the chilling process. The potential growth of Clostridium perfringens is limited due to unfavourable conditions during the first hours and to low temperature later. It can be concluded that when the initial level of contaminating bacteria is not excessive the speed at which the carcass is currently chilled is sufficient to limit the growth of these two pathogens and to ensure the product quality.

Tertiary models are proposed in order to predict the growth of Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella spp. in pork minced meat packaged under stretch film. The models have been calculated from challenge-tests at 8°C (L. monocytogenes) and 12°C (Salmonella), the meat being artificially contaminated at 2 log cfu pathogen/g. In a second step, they have been validated at 5, 8 and 10°C for L. monocytogenes (r² : 0.94, 0.98 and 0.95) and 8, 10 and 12°C for Salmonella (r³ : 0.80, 0.92 and 0.98).

Quantitative microbial risk assessment (QMRA) is being used to estimate the risk level of pathogens along the food chain and to support management decisions for the reduction of food-safety risks. The degree of credibility that can be attached to risk assessment results depends largely on the quality and quantity of the data, the model structure and the assumptions taken. Quality Assurance (QA) in QMRA is fulfilled when all steps in the QMRA process are technically and scientifically valid, so that it can meet its objectives. An overview of QA methods for QMRA is presented. Whereas sensitivity analysis and scenario analysis are common in QMRA, formal methods for the evaluation of data quality, the critical evaluation of assumptions, structured expert elicitation, the checklist approach, and peer review are rarely applied in QMRA but could largely improve the transparency in the results of QMRAs. The degree of implementation of these methods should be proportionate to the stakes of the risk management questions, and discussed in consultation between risk assessors and risk managers.

Enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) are shigatoxin producing E. coli (STEC) that can cause serious disease to humans. These food-borne pathogens belong to the fifth most common zoonoses in Belgium, but due to their severe clinical symptoms in humans they are highly dreaded. They can cause a range of disease symptoms ranging from asymptomatically carriage over various diarrhoea symptoms to the life-threatening HUS (haemolytic uremic syndrome). Cattle are the main reservoir and infection of humans occurs through contact with faecal excretion material and consumption of contaminated food or water. A broad variety of serotypes is able to cause human infections, but the principal serotypes are O26, O103, O111, O145 and O157. These strains are denoted as new emerging pathogens by the WHO. The group of sorbitol non-fermenting (s-) O157:H7 strains are examined the most, because an ISO-method is available. For sorbitol fermenting (s+) O157 strains as well as for non-O157 STEC strains recently a new isolation method was developed in the Belspo project SD/AF/06A (Possé et al. 2008a). The aim of the project was the optimization and the validation of the above-mentioned detection and isolation method for STEC in different matrices. In the first place immunomagnetic separation (IMS) was evaluated for the optimization of the STEC isolation method for cattle faeces (Ghent University, UGent). Second, molecular characterization of STEC strains was performed using a newly designed 33-mPCR as an alternative tool (University of Antwerp, VIB) and pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) (Institute for Agricultural and Fisheries Research, ILVO). Also a smaller derived multiplex PCR (9-mPCR) was designed (VIB) and optimized for the screening of samples (ILVO). The third goal was the evaluation of different approaches for STEC isolation from human faecal samples (Universitair Ziekenhuis Brussel, UZ). Finally the STEC detection and isolation method was validated by an in-house and an interlaboratory study which was based on the ISO 16140 guideline for the validation of alternative methods (University of Liège; UGent; ILVO). For the optimization of the STEC isolation protocol for cattle faeces and the evaluation of the effect of IMS, cattle faecal samples were artificially inoculated with various numbers of STEC (10-100 and 100-1000 cfu/25g faeces) and isolated using the isolation protocol with 6h or 24h of enrichment followed by IMS and plating or direct plating on selective agars. Two types of IMS beads (Dynabeads and Captivate beads) were tested. Results showed that IMS (any of the two types of beads) had a highly positive effect on the isolation of serotype O157 (s- and s+), whereas only a small or even a negative effect for non-O157 serotypes was found. This was largely clarified by results on pure broth suspensions of STEC, showing that high percentages were recovered from the IMS beads used in suspensions with the serotypes O157 (s- and s+), O26 and O103, but lower percentages were recovered for O111 and O145. Non-O157 STEC were often already efficiently isolated from faeces using only direct plating, whereas O157 (s- and s+) STEC were not. For the enrichment time, 24h generally gave higher isolation efficiencies than 6h. Finally for serotypes O157 (s- and s+), O26 and O103, a level of 10-100 cfu/25g was reliably detected, whereas for serotypes O111 and O145 only 100-1000 cfu/25g was reliably detected. To accomplish the second task of the project, the Applied Molecular Genomics Group of the VIB Department of Molecular Genetics (UA-VIB) designed a proprietary 33-amplicon multiplex PCR (mPCR) assay combined with capillary electrophoresis. This mPCR assay contains the detection of 5 STEC serotypes (O26, O103, O111, O145, O157), the main virulence genes VT1 with variants (VT1ab, VT1c and VT1d), VT2 with six variants (VT2b,c,d,e,f,g) and consensus, eae with five variants (eaeα1, eaeβ1, eaeγ1; eaeγ2; eaeε and eaeζ), ehx, tir, katP, saa, espP and FliC H2, H7, H8, H11 and H28. The assay was optimized and validated on a set of test strains representative for the priority amplicons. Next, this molecular technology was validated on a collection of 334 human clinical and animal strains from the Belgian STEC Reference Center (UZ). This collection of human and animal strains was also characterized by performing the PulseNet Europe protocol for pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). This technique creates a fingerprint of a strain by means of rare cutter restriction enzyme cutting of DNA and gel electrophoresis. Analysis of the band patterns lead to clustering of strains according to similarity or relatedness. Then results of 33-mPCR and PFGE genotyping were combined to show eventual correlations between PFGE genotypes and virulence profiles. Also background information about the strains (date of isolation, human or animal source, clinical manifestation, outbreak information) was included to the analysis. Combining mPCR and PFGE genotyping results, correlations were shown. In the first place STEC strains were clustered according to their serotype. Secondly a correlation occurred between virulence profile and PFGE clustering, concerning VT genes and other genes. Particularly for STEC O157, strains had very diverse VT-profiles, and strains with the same VT-profile clustered together. Concerning the clinical manifestation, 'asymptomatic' cases occurred more frequently for non-O157 than for O157 STEC, but besides this no correlation was shown between the PFGE clustering and the clinical manifestation or between the VT-profile and the clinical manifestation. Finally several case studies could be appointed based on the PFGE dendrograms. In general the cases contained clones that persisted during several years, had similar virulence profiles and infected humans as well as animals. As a part of the second task, the UA-VIB also designed a derived 9-amplicon multiplex PCR (9-mPCR) for fast sample screening. Using this 9-mPCR, a combination of serotypes (O26, O103, O111, O145, O157) and virulence genes (VT1, VT2, eae and ehx) is detected in one run and can be visualized using conventional gel electrophoresis. Once the 9-mPCR was developed and tested on pure strains, an evaluation on samples was performed. Hereto ILVO (Institute for Agricultural and Fisheries Research) tested several methods to extract DNA from artificially inoculated samples. Methods were compared based on the ability to remove PCR inhibiting molecules and on the ability to isolate and purify DNA from STEC cells. Out of four methods only two methods, in which no removal of sample debris was done, were suitable for sample preparation. The method using bead beating cell lysis described by Yu and Morrison (2004), was at least 10 times more sensitive than the method using the Qiagen Stool Mini Kit according to the manufacturer's instructions, and was therefore recommended. However, the method using bead beating cell lysis is much more time consuming than the Qiagen method and the use of a ribolyser is necessary. As ILVO used the method employing the ribolyser in all following experiments, this method was used on artificially inoculated samples to determine its detection limit. All virulence marker genes and the serotype gene of strain MB3901 (serotype O157) could be detected in enriched minced beef and cheese from raw milk artificially inoculated with 2 cfu/25g sample. For cattle fecal samples the screening test was 10 times less sensitive; 21 cfu/25g feces could be detected. Finally the influence of the volume of lysate used in the mPCR reaction mix was examined. An mPCR reaction containing 1 and 2µl of lysate DNA was performed, but no difference in detection was seen. Testing of different clinical isolates of non-O157 STEC on the newly designed selective agars, showed that growth characteristics were generally as expected. However, more standardization of the preparation of the medium is needed to obtain more reproducible results. Some O103 isolates did not grow on the media prepared at UZ and the color of the colonies of O111 was often difficult to distinguish from O26. Using artificially contaminated stool samples, the sensitivity of the STEC isolation protocol developed in a previous Belspo SPSD II project was similar to the protocol used routinely at UZ (103 and 104 cfu/5g). The sensitivity was about 10 times higher when using IMS. The method performed well on frozen STEC positive samples, but this could only be tested on 14 samples, of which 11 with O157, 2 with O111 and one O26. In-house validation of the STEC isolation protocol was performed to evaluate if the protocol is applicable for different types of food matrices. All samples used for this validation were artificially contaminated. Ten samples of minced beef, raw milk cheese and sprouted seeds were artificially inoculated with varying numbers (10-2000 cfu/25g) of non-stressed and stressed strains belonging to the serotypes O157 (s-) and (s+), O26, O103, O111 and O145. Cultured STEC strains were cold and freeze stressed by storing them for at least 5 days at respectively 2 and -18°C. Inoculated samples were pre-enriched in a weak selective medium for 6 hours followed by enrichment in a stronger selective medium for 18 hours. Direct plating on a selective medium was performed after each enrichment step. In a third pathway, an IMS (Dynabeads or Captivate beads) step was performed after 24h enrichment and prior to plating. Suspected colonies on the selective medium were purified and tentatively confirmed on a purification medium followed by a confirmation by a serotype PCR. Parallel to the classical isolation method, the 9-mPCR screening test was performed on the enrichment medium (after 24 hours enrichment). Results indicate that the isolation protocol as well as mPCR screening provide good detection of non-stressed and cold-stressed O26, O103, O157 (s+) and O145 in raw milk cheese and minced beef. Detection of the other non-stressed and cold-stressed serotypes (O111 and O157 (s+)) in raw milk cheese and minced beef and of all serotypes under freeze stressed conditions in minced beef was low or almost zero. Probably due to the high level of background flora, detection of any serotype in sprouted seeds was almost impossible even though inoculation numbers were as high as 2000 cfu/25g. Finally the optimized STEC detection and isolation methods were validated by an interlaboratory study performed by national and international laboratories (twelve laboratories in total). First, a pre-trial experiment was organized to give the collaborative laboratories the possibility to become familiar with the isolation method. Secondly, the actual interlaboratory study was performed. Products necessary to prepare all culture media (in-house-prepared: IHP) and ready-to-use selective agar culture media (ready-to-use: RTU) were sent to the participating laboratories, as well as a questionnaire and a document to report the results. For each participating laboratory, 20 samples of 25g of minced beef were prepared: one sample for the temperature measurement upon arrival, one for the enumeration of the total count, Enterobacteriaceae and E. coli, two blank samples and sixteen samples inoculated with single strains belonging to 4 serotypes at 2 levels of contamination in duplicate (30 cfu/g and 300 cfu/g). All strains were cold stressed. Samples were prepared the day of the shipment and had to be analyzed on a prefixed day. The University of Liège evaluated all results based on the recommendations of ISO 16140. Results showed no difference between RTU and IHP media. The arabinose test seemed difficult to be read, so the dulcitol test is now preferred for the confirmation of serotypes O103 and O111. Some mistakes were made during sample inoculation, like a wrong inoculation of four samples and no inoculation of one sample. If we do not take into account these mistakes, all four serotypes were detected with high sensitivity. In general it can be concluded that the laboratory performance is highly satisfactory.

A quantitative microbial risk assessment according to the Codex Alimentarius Principles is conducted to evaluate the risk on human salmonellosis through household consumption of fresh minced pork meat in Belgium. The quantitative exposure assessment is carried out by building a modular risk model, called the METZOON-model, which covers the pork production from farm to fork. In the METZOON-model, the food production pathway is split up in six consecutive modules: (1) primary production, (2) transport & lairage, (3) slaughterhouse, (4) post-processing, (5) distribution & storage and (6) preparation & consumption. All the modules are developed to resemble as closely as possible the Belgian situation making use of the available national data. Several statistical refinements and improved modeling techniques are proposed. The model produces highly realistic results. The baseline predicted number of annual salmonellosis cases is 20513 [st. dev. 9061.45]. The risk is estimated higher for the susceptible population [est. 4.713 × 10−5; st. dev. 1.466 × 10−5] compared to the normal population [est. 7.704 × 10−6; st. dev. 5.414 × 10−6] and is mainly due to cross contamination via cook's hands and only for a small extent to undercooking.

The numeral unit spread assessment pedigree (NUSAP) system was implemented to evaluate the quality of input parameters in a quantitative microbial risk assessment (QMRA) model for Salmonella spp. in minced pork meat. The input parameters were grouped according to four successive exposure pathways: (1) primary production (2) transport, holding, and slaughterhouse, (3) postprocessing, distribution, and storage, and (4) preparation and consumption. An inventory of 101 potential input parameters was used for building the QMRA model. The characteristics of each parameter were defined using a standardized procedure to assess (1) the source of information, (2) the sampling methodology and sample size, and (3) the distributional properties of the estimate. Each parameter was scored by a panel of experts using a pedigree matrix containing four criteria (proxy, empirical basis, method, and validation) to assess the quality, and this was graphically represented by means of kite diagrams. The parameters obtained significantly lower scores for the validation criterion as compared with the other criteria. Overall strengths of parameters related to the primary production module were significantly stronger compared to the other modules (the transport, holding, and slaughterhouse module, the processing, distribution, and storage module, and the preparation and consumption module). The pedigree assessment contributed to select 20 parameters, which were subsequently introduced in the QMRA model. The NUSAP methodology and kite diagrams are objective tools to discuss and visualize the quality of the parameters in a structured way. These two tools can be used in the selection procedure of input parameters for a QMRA, and can lead to a more transparent quality assurance in the QMRA. [less ▲]Detailed reference viewed: 59 (8 ULg)

Salmonella remains the primary cause of reported bacterial food borne disease outbreaks in Belgium. Pork and pork products are recognized as one of the major sources of human salmonellosis. In contrast with the primary production and slaughterhouse phases of the pork meat production chain, only a few studies have focussed on the post-harvest stages. The goal of this study was to evaluate Salmonella and Escherichia coli contamination at the Belgian post-harvest stages. E. coli counts were estimated in order to evaluate the levels of faecal contamination. The results of bacteriological analysis from seven cutting plants, four meat-mincing plants and the four largest Belgian retailers were collected from official and self-monitoring controls. The prevalence of Salmonella in the cutting plants and meat-mincing plants ranged from 0% to 50%. The most frequently isolated serotype was Salmonella typhimurium. The prevalence in minced meat at retail level ranged from 0.3% to 4.3%. The levels of Salmonella contamination estimated from semi-quantitative analysis of data relating to carcasses, cuts of meat and minced meat were equal to 3.40 2.04 log CFU/cm2, 2.64 1.76 log CFU/g and 2.35 1.09 log CFU/g, respectively. The E. coli results in meat cuts and minced meat ranged from 0.21 0.50 to 1.23 0.89 log CFU/g and from 1.33 0.58 to 2.78 0.43 log CFU/g, respectively. The results showed that faecal contamination still needs to be reduced, especially in specific individual plants. [less ▲]Detailed reference viewed: 101 (24 ULg)

La problématique des Salmonella spp. en filière animale, quelle que soit la spéculation envisagée, apparaît simple. De nombreux guides et ouvrages y ont été consacrés et, en théorie, il semble aisé de s'en débarrasser ou d'empêcher son introduction dans un élevage ou dans un atelier d'engraissement. En pratique, toutefois, la situation est différente et il est constaté que le micro-organisme peut contaminer la chaîne alimentaire en de multiples endroits, que ce soit au stade de la production primaire, dans le secteur abattage et transformation ou bien chez le consommateur. Pour arriver à développer une filière porcine « Salmonella-free », il faut une collaboration complète de tous les acteurs d'une filière, ce qui signifie qu'elle doit être intense et soutenue dans le temps.

Suite aux accords internationaux et à la modification de la législation européenne, l'analyse de risque est devenue une démarche systématique pour la maîtrise de la sécurité de la chaîne alimentaire. L'analyse de risque permet de donner des réponses concrètes aux responsables de la santé, aux vétérinaires et aux industriels. Cette discipline permet de déterminer le risque pour une population donnée face à un danger, d'estimer le nombre de cas liés suite à l'ingestion d'une denrée contaminée, de simuler les conséquences d'un accident dans la chaîne alimentaire et de présenter les mesures de prévention efficaces. Elle permet également de proposer des scénarii possibles afin de réduire le nombre de cas et les coûts associés, d'évaluer l'effet de l'implémentation de mesures de gestion comme des critères de performance (par exemple des niveaux admissibles de contamination microbienne) ou des critères de traitement (par exemple une durée ou une température à une étape donnée), etc. L'analyse de risque peut être un guide quantitatif utile pour les prises de décision si elle s'appuie sur des études scientifiques solides et si elle est complétée par des décisions industrielles, sociales et politiques qui prennent en compte les limites de cette méthode. Actuellement, le Département des Sciences des Denrées alimentaires de la Faculté Vétérinaire de l'Université de Liège associés avec d'autres partenaires réalisent une évaluation quantitative de risque concernant Salmonella dans la filière porcine (projet METZOON). Le modèle développé simule la contamination par Salmonella de l'ensemble de la filière à partir de l'élevage de porc jusqu'à la consommation de la viande par la population. Le modèle fait appel aux résultats des plans de surveillance de l'AFSCA et à l'ensemble des études réalisées en Belgique sur les salmonelles dans la filière porcine. Plusieurs industriels ont également collaboré à cette étude. Le but est d'identifier les actions ayant le plus d'efficacité pour réduire la contamination de la chaîne alimentaire. En conclusion, le nombre de salmonelloses humaines a diminué ces dernières années en Belgique. L'implémentation des méthodes HACCP et des bonnes pratiques d'hygiène dans l'industrie, une meilleure surveillance des aliments par les autorités publiques, les campagnes de vaccination des poules pondeuses en production primaire sont les raisons essentielles de la diminution. Mais l'ensemble des acteurs de la filière doivent être conscients de leur responsabilité dans le but d'obtenir une viande indemne de salmonelles. Les bonnes pratiques de fabrication doivent être respectées tout au long de la chaîne de production, en accord avec les principes HACCP, avec des contrôles fréquents sur tous les points critiques. Une traçabilité complète de l'origine de la viande ou des produits de viande est nécessaire pour permettre aux autorités publiques et aux épidémiologistes d'établir l'origine d'épidémies et ainsi réagir au plus vite. Ce n'est qu'avec une collaboration continue de tous les acteurs que nous pourrons produire une viande sans salmonelles. [less ▲]Detailed reference viewed: 213 (27 ULg)

For the past decade, customers have been given free rides on the train, but people may soon have to pony up some money.
The Tacoma Link has been the only free ride in Sound Transit's system, and people have few complaints.
"It's a nice system to ride. It beats the bus because it comes, what, every ten minutes?" said Rudy Webster.
Up until now, Sound Transit hasn't charged for the service because it would have been more trouble financially than it was worth.
That can't-beat price tag has boosted Link to more than a million passengers per year, and now Sound Transit wants to explore the idea of charging for every ride.
Most riders don't seem to mind the idea of charging per ride, but their idea for pricing doesn't match up with what Sound Transit is looking at. Many riders say they'd be willing to pay anything from a quarter to a dollar, but Sound Transit is suggesting $1 to $2 per ride.
A Thursday night open house meeting will take public comment on the idea and a vote on the plan is expected to come later this month.
