Leishmaniasis Transmission
How do people get infected with Leishmania parasites?
The main route is through the bite of infected female phlebotomine sand flies. Sand flies become infected by sucking blood from an infected animal or person. People might not realize that sand flies are present because:
- They do not make noise when they fly;
- They are small: they are only about one-third the size of typical mosquitoes or even smaller;
- Their bites might not be noticed (the bites may be painless or painful).
Sand flies usually are most active in twilight, evening, and night-time hours (from dusk to dawn). Although sand flies are less active during the hottest time of the day, they may bite if they are disturbed (for example, if a person brushes up against the trunk of a tree or other site where sand flies are resting).
Some types (species) of Leishmania parasites may also be spread by blood transfusions or contaminated needles (needle sharing). Congenital transmission (spread from a pregnant woman to her baby) has been reported.

Expecting to enter India in Q2 of 2012, Victory will first import fully-assembled motorcycles into the huge Indian market. Victory also plans on setting up an assembly plant, so the company can import partially-constructed machines into the country, and thus sidestep the massive tariffs India levies on fully-assembled motorcycles imports.

Hillsdale Reservoir users given impromptu education; no ANS found
PAOLA — On Saturday, June 19, Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks staff conducted unannounced courtesy inspections of motor boats, sailboats, and other watercraft as visitors prepared to use them in Hillsdale Reservoir. The purpose was twofold — to make sure users had legally-required safety equipment and that they were taking precautions to prevent spread of harmful aquatic nuisance species (ANS) such as zebra mussels, white perch, Asian carp, and Eurasian watermilfoil (an invasive aquatic plant). More such inspections are planned throughout the summer in the Sunflower State. Across Kansas, boaters heading for a day at the lake may encounter boat inspectors checking for ANS and safety equipment in an effort to protect the state's aquatic resources and to keep Kansans safe.
"We organized these events to protect Kansas lakes and Kansans from the harm caused by zebra mussels and other aquatic nuisance species," said Jason Goeckler, KDWP's aquatic nuisance species program coordinator. "This weekend's event at Hillsdale Reservoir was a great success. We were able to visit with numerous boaters to provide information about aquatic nuisance species and conduct boat inspections to ensure harmful aquatic nuisance species were not being transported. Fortunately, no aquatic nuisance species were found, but there were several cases where people were moving water in bilges or livewells."
The transport of water between lakes can contribute to the spread of zebra mussels because their young, called veligers, are essentially invisible and are free-floating in water, which makes adherence to KDWP's "Clean, Drain, Dry" recommendations so important. "It is against state and federal law to possess live zebra mussels, and we want to do all we can to make sure they never show up at another Kansas lake," said natural resource officer Sean Williams, KDWP's lead officer for the Hillsdale Reservoir event.
District fisheries biologist Andy Jansen, who helped coordinate the event, added that "education is our best defense against the spread of aquatic invasive species, so these events go a long way toward protecting our aquatic resources."
"The spread of zebra mussels is completely preventable if people take our recommendations seriously," Goekler explained. "So when you visit Kansas waters this summer, don't be surprised if you encounter KDWP staff looking for aquatic nuisance species."
The following measures are recommended to prevent spreading harmful aquatic nuisance species before leaving any lake:
Before leaving a lake
- Clean — inspect equipment for anything that doesn't belong — including plants, animals, and mud — and remove it; and
- Drain — drain all water from equipment and if fishing, dispose of bait properly on the shore or in an approved trash receptacle. Never dump bait back into a lake.
Before using at another lake
- Dry — thoroughly dry equipment for five days or wash it with hot water if it is needed before the five days have expired (140 degree water for 10 seconds contact time will kill zebra mussels).
For more information on ANS, type "ans" in the search box on KDPW's website, www.kdwp.state.ks.us, then click "Aquatic Nuisance Species."

Academic Title: Clinical Associate Professor
Research Center: Center for Clinical and Translational Research
We had a wonderful follow up visit with Dr. Burton. She answered all my questions as well as answering my energetic 11-year-old's questions about what he could do.
Dr. Burton is fabulous! She is thorough in everything she does and is great with kids. My daughter is 13 years old and is completely comfortable with Dr. Burton. Dr. Burton explains things well so that my daughter understands what is going on regarding the diagnosis and treatment. Dr. Burton is very professional yet very approachable - I HIGHLY recommend her!
While home from school, we wanted our child to see another doctor for a persistent problem. The appointment desk was fantastic and we had a convenient nighttime appointment. As a new patient, Dr. Burton, greeted my daughter and talked directly to her. She was professional, patient, kind, and knowledgable. Although, our child would be returning to school, and seeing a doctor there, Dr. Burton treated her as if she was a long term patient. She gave her recommendations and referred and arranged for her to go to Physical Therapy all within the same week. We were very impressed with her and would definitely see her again.
Dr. Burton is fantastic, she has taken care of my son's broken bones several times.
She has a special way of connecting with her patients and is very very approachable. Don't let her young appearance fool you, it is clear that she has a wealth of knowledge. As a health care provider myself I felt very comfortable with her high level of expertise and plain "good old fashion" advise.
Dr. Burton will go above and beyond to take care of your kids needs and make him/her feel special and taken care of.

Posted August 19, 2014
Although human in vitro fertilization (IVF) has been successful
since the 1970s, similar reproductive technology in horses has
lagged behind. Success rates stubbornly hover between zero and 30
percent, and only two live foals have been born using IVF.
The main problem seems to be with the ability of sperm to
penetrate the egg. Ongoing research, much of it at Texas A&M
University, has led to the ability to successfully mature horse
oocytes in vitro. However, achieving in vitro sperm
capacitation—which involves a series of changes that sperm must
undergo in order to be able to fertilize an egg—has proven to be
more complicated. A solution may soon be at hand, though; Dr.
Leticia Vivani, a Ph.D. student working jointly in Dr. Katrin
Hinrichs' and Dr. Dickson Varner's labs at the Texas A&M
College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences (CVM), is
working on the reasons behind this problem.
"We are trying to understand the factors that regulate the
process of sperm capacitation," Vivani said. "Of course, this
happens perfectly well when we breed a mare, but not when we try to
mimic this in vitro. We do not know the reason, but I am almost
sure there is something 'special' within the mare reproductive
tract, something that might not be needed in other species, but
that makes stallion sperm undergo all these changes."
Hinrichs' lab has determined that for some reason, equine sperm
are different from those of other species. For example,
incubation conditions that successfully induce hyperactivation (the
whip-like tail motion needed to penetrate the egg) and subsequent
fertilization in other species fail to do so with equine sperm.
"There can be so many things that can be affecting capacitation,
and there is very little research done on equine sperm physiology,"
Vivani said. "This is good, in a way, because anything you do is
new, is innovative, but at the same time, the research can be very
challenging and frustrating."
Some progress is being made in understanding equine sperm
capacitation. In 2009, by inducing hyperactivated motility with a
substance called procaine, researchers at Cornell University
achieved the highest fertilization rate to date (61%).
Unfortunately, this is not a practicable solution for embryo
production because procaine is toxic to the embryos. "This was
nevertheless an important finding," Vivani said, "because it showed
us that the failure of IVF was likely due to a sperm-related
problem. We now know that there is something difficult about
inducing appropriate equine sperm motility in vitro, and that may
be why IVF rates have been so low."
Vivani, who earned her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM)
degree in her native Argentina in 2001 and her Master of Science
degree at the University of Massachusetts in 2010, has long wanted
to study at Texas A&M with this team of researchers.
"I have been fascinated with equine reproduction, and the
reasons behind the failure of IVF in the horse in particular, since
my DVM graduation," Vivani said. "Therefore, I've been dreaming of
working with Dr. Hinrichs and with Dr. Varner since I was in
Argentina. I had been writing to them and calling them for years
before I was eventually able to make it work to come to Texas
A&M, first as a visiting researcher and then as a Ph.D.
student." She began her program in May 2012 and plans to graduate
in 2016.
One Health
"Horses are an excellent model for human comparative studies.
Mice, for example, do not age as women do, but the changes that
mares undergo are very similar to women's changes with aging,"
Vivani said. "When mares reach a certain age, their reproductive
efficiency decreases as a result; changes in hormone levels,
follicular development, and oocyte quality are very similar in
older mares and older women. So it's a great model for human
Just as in human medicine, owners of horses for whom natural
reproduction has failed turn to assisted reproduction technologies.
In horses, this often means using intracytoplasmic sperm injection
(ICSI), a technique of "bypassing" standard IVF by injecting a
sperm directly into the egg (see sidebar). The ICSI technique is
also sometimes used in humans, especially when more traditional IVF
has not worked. At the moment, the only way to successfully produce
a horse embryo in vitro is through the use of ICSI, which many
breeders are increasingly using. "However, is not the most
physiological way," Vivani said, "and is not always practical, as
it requires time, sophisticated equipment, and trained personnel.
That is why I focus on how to make IVF work."
Ironically, the One Health approach, which usually means
translating findings from animals into human medicine, works
backward in this case. IVF works well in humans, and has for more
than 30 years. However, it is not yet successful in horses, and
perhaps going back to the basics of reproduction can help explain
why that is the case.
"In the beginning basic research was hard for me," Vivani said,
"because I was trained as a veterinarian and I just wanted to see
results. My advisor for my master's degree, who is a basic
researcher, made me stop and ask why things work or not, and I'm
very grateful that he did." In fact, the IVF technique was
pioneered through basic research that led to the discovery of
"Dr. Hinrichs and other researchers like her have focused on
really understanding physiological processes related to
reproduction," Vivani said. "For many years we, working in equine
reproduction, tried one thing and if it didn't work, we tried a
completely different thing without trying to figure out why it
didn't work, and this process explains why there is so little
information in this area."
Despite all of the challenges, Vivani says that she finds her
work extremely satisfying, partly due to her excellent mentors.
"Dr. Hinrichs and Dr. Varner are so encouraging with their students
and really value their work," Vivani said. "They always encourage
me to learn as much as I can. Studying with them has been a
wonderful experience—truly a dream come true.

Administration Rethinks Use of Local Police for Immigration Enforcement
New Homeland Security Secretary Says Controversial Immigration Program Is Being Reviewed
WASHINGTON—A controversial program that uses local police to flag illegal immigrants for possible deportation is getting a fresh look, the new secretary of Homeland Security said, suggesting it may be misguided to deport people arrested but never convicted of crimes.
The comments by Jeh Johnson signaled a possible direction for the continuing review of deportation policy being conducted by the Obama administration. Under pressure from immigrant-rights groups, President Barack Obama directed Mr. Johnson to look for more "humane"...

Local agencies fight fire near Westlawn Cemetery
Three separate fires broke out Tuesday along Highway 136 near Westlawn Cemetery.Around 2:45 p.m., three fires created huge chaos. Immediately Mutual aid was called. Working the fires were Borger, Fritch, Hutchinson County, Big Creek, National Park Service, Skellytown, Stinnett, and Crutch Ranch Fire Departments. Also on the scene was Red Cross, Sheriffs Department, DPS, and the Fritch and Borger Police Departments.Hutchinson County Fire Marshal Danny Richards said, "The winds were increasing and with the humidity levels so low, the fire became an extreme danger." He continued to say the fires were very close to structures and homes. One house used for storage was a total loss as a result of the fire, but was not occupied. Other structures consumed by the fires were only storage sheds on people's property.The east fire burned around 50 acres and was under control around 5 p.m.Two fire merged together to create the west fire. The west fire burned over 70 acres and was close to many structures. Richards stated a ravine was used as a bump site where many shingles caught fire. "This was a complication, because there was so much volume and over 200 dump truck loads of shingles. We were unable to extinguish this fire. Fritch Fire Department was on site all night and is still there as long as the fire is still burning," said Richards. He also stated officials are in the process to contact the state to allow them to dump dirt in the ravine to put the fire out. "It could take weeks before the fire dies," Richards said.There were no injuries. All main operations left the scene around 8 p.m., excluding Fritch Fire Department who remained on the scene to keep an eye on the fire in the ravine.Danny Richards said officials think the fire was caused by a vehicle. He reminds citizens to be careful when pulling a trailer or anything on your vehicle that could cause a fire because conditions are extreme. He also asks anyone with information to this incident to call the sheriff's office at 274-6343.

First graders at Dudley Elementary experienced a day full of fun activities Friday.
In honor of 100 days in school, students counted, ate, created and launched into celebration.
Students counted different food items, created necklaces made out of Froot Loops and 100-day hats and launched balloons.
Attached to the balloons were cards with information about how potential balloon finders could notify the school so students would know how far they drifted.
Teachers said their pupils learn about math and geography during the annual event.

It is also the first time they have failed to win either of their opening two matches at a World Cup for 44 years. Sampaolis players, in other words, were creating history here" - The Guardian's Stuart James on Croatia's 3-0 dicking of the South Americans
Ha, talk about relieving the pressure. Welegedara opens with a nice, plump full-toss on leg stump that Ryder clips for four. Woeful.
Styris is a good player of spin, NZ would do well to ensure that he isnt in too early because they need someone to navigate through 8 overs of M&M.
Tendulkar = the most overated player EVER!!
Beckham = the most overated footballer EVER!!
Vassell = the biggest disgrace since rikki clarke!!
Welcome back to the fray, Ryder. Stay a while, you're awsome.
Ganga earlier hit it on the head when he mentioned on these pitches the first six overs offer the best chance. And we had TilDil blocking 19odd in that for 3 today. I think that'll prove to be the difference in the end.
That is quite some shot from Guptill
Bumble impersonating Shaggy.
Ryder does look a class act, it must be said. Milking Murali here.
Can't believe Sri Lanka are still 3-1 outsiders. They're second favourite but not by much.
Those last two overs really made this game interesting.
NZ need these 2 to put on a partnership and stop the rot. Ryder went nicely, but SL are bowling well. They can't leave themselves too much to do at the death, as scoring quickly off Malinga is not an easy task by any means. Could do with Taylor hitting his straps and smashing some big boundaries.
Ryder looked fantastic. Not sure why he was trying to play inside the ball to Murali, sensed it was a matter of how soon he would either feather an edge or be bowled.
That's and Guptill's consistent 20 something knock has brought the game back to 50-50 when it needen't be.
You can tell from Ganga's views in the commentary box why he is rated as such a good captain.
NZ must know at the back of their mind that SL have to get through another 4 overs with their pace bowlers. That really might be where the game will be decided.
We need a Max Mobile time out now.

So how do you prevent this solecism? The culprit the compound construction. Say the sentence without the compound. Then the wrong way sounds wrong. So: "Let me deal with your son's abduction."
Now I think I'll go see what happened to that son.
I frequently use the word "solecism," meaning a mistake in grammar. It's one of my favorite words (harrumpf). I also read
nike roshe one print womens shoe £70
, written by Anu Garg. The word of the day a while back was "solecism." Here's the article. He includes a link to an audible pronunciation of the word, and an inspiring quote at the bottom. I left both of those out to help motivate you to click the nike roshe run bold berry print floral womens sleeveless top
solecism (SOL-i-siz-ehm, SO-li-) noun
1. A grammatical mistake or a nonstandard usage.
2. A breach of etiquette.
3. An error, inconsistency, or impropriety.
[From Latin soloecismus, from Greek soloikismos, from soloikos (speaking incorrectly; literally, inhabitant of Soloi) after Soloi, an ancient Athenian colony in Cilicia where a dialect considered as substandard was spoken.]
"`Ah! Madam,' said Ovid, `how great a solecism would it be both in a lover and a poet if he did not look upon his mistress as the sublimest object of his thoughts!' Benjamin Boyce and Thomas Brown; The Adventures of Lindamira: A Lady of Quality; The University of Minnesota Press; 1949.
"But the AAUP's (Association of American University Presses) guidelines go beyond correcting what it regards as solecisms to more drastic exercises in raising consciousness. Consider the traditional personification of ships as feminine. According to the AAUP task force, such usage is `quaint at best' and should be avoided: `it' is preferred. Along the same literalist lines, you should think twice before describing an important work by a woman scholar as `seminal'. Speech Therapy; The Economist (London); Jun 3, 1995.

Artificial emotional intelligence or Emotion AI is also known as emotion recognition or emotion detection technology. In market research, this is commonly referred to as facial coding.
Humans use a lot of non-verbal cues, such as facial expressions, gesture, body language and tone of voice, to communicate their emotions. Our vision is to develop Emotion AI that can detect emotion just the way humans do, from multiple channels. Our long term goal is to develop "MultimodalEmotion AI", that combines analysis of both face and speech as complementary signals to provide richerinsightinto the humanexpression of emotion. For several years now, Affectiva has been offering industry leading technology for the analysis of facial expressions of emotions. Most recently, Affectiva has added speech capabilities now available to select beta testers (
nike air jordan take flight shoes
Our Emotion AI unobtrusively measures unfiltered and unbiased facial expressions of emotion, using any optical sensor or just a standard webcam. Our technology first identifies a human face in real time or in an image or video. Computer vision algorithms identify key landmarks on the face – for example, the corners of your eyebrows, the tip of your nose, the corners of your mouth. Deep learning algorithms then analyze pixels in those regions to classify facial expressions. Combinations of these facial expressions are then mapped to emotions.
In our products, we measure 7 emotion metrics: anger, contempt, disgust, fear, joy, sadness and surprise. In addition, weprovide 20 facial expression metrics. Inour
nike free run 2 womens blue orange
we also provide emojis, gender, age, ethnicity and a number of other metrics. Learn more about our metrics .
Our speech capability analyzes not what is said, but how it is said, observing changes in speech paralinguistics, tone, loudness, tempo, and voice quality to distinguish speech events, emotions, and gender.The underlying low latency approach is key to enabling the development of real-time emotion-aware apps and devices.
Our first speech based product is a

that analyzes a pre-recorded audio segment, such as an MP3 file. The output fileprovides the analysis on speech events occurringin the audio segment every few hundred milliseconds and not just at the end of the entire utterance. An Emotion SDK that analyzes speech in real-time will be available in the near future.

The New Jersey coastline was a shambles, hundreds of thousands of houses in the state were dark and cold, and entire towns were largely homeless. The state needed federal help, and Gov. Chris Christie did what he had to do to get it, including praising President Obama for delivering aid and comfort. For that, he was pilloried by a Republican Party that places blind loyalty above emergency.
A report in The Times on Tuesday by Michael Barbaro showed just how low Republican leaders sank in the final week of the presidential campaign. Hurricane Sandy struck the East Coast eight days before Election Day, and all the party could see was a Republican governor praising a Democratic president. When the president visited New Jersey, Mr. Christie had the temerity to describe him as "outstanding" and "incredibly supportive."
Republicans don't forget that kind of thing, said Douglas Gross, a party operative in Iowa. "The presumption is that Republicans can't count on him," Mr. Gross said. At the Republican Governors Association meeting last week, Pat McCrory, the governor-elect of North Carolina, told Mr. Christie: "People keep asking me why you were so nice to the president." He added, "I tell them you are doing your job," but the message was conveyed.
It wasn't just the praise for the president, though, that seemed to bother Mr. Romney's supporters. For years, the party's loudest activists have tried to delegitimize Mr. Obama, questioning his birthplace and his patriotism, even calling him a socialist and saying outright that he was in over his head.
How could you stand so close to Mr. Obama on the tarmac, one donor to Mr. Romney asked, suggesting that physical proximity to the president was out of line. How could you have boarded the presidential helicopter for a tour of the shore? Apparently party leaders and donors really expected Mr. Christie to refuse to meet the president at a time when his state was suffering. They wanted him to reflect their own pettiness — so obvious in the last four years — and shun the hand dispensing federal aid.
We have previously been critical of some of Mr. Christie's shortsighted actions as governor, but it was hard not to admire him for standing up to his party's worst elements and putting his state first.Continue reading the main story

Apple has released OS X 10.9 Mavericks - for free - so it's that time again: John Siracusa's excellent OS X review.
According to Apple, Mavericks has a dual focus. Its first and most important goal is to extend battery life and improve responsiveness. Secondarily, Mavericks aims to add functionality that will appeal to "power users" (Apple's words), a group that may be feeling neglected after enduring two releases of OS X playing iOS dress-up.
Is that enough for Mavericks to live up to its major-release version number and to kick off the next phase of OS X's life? Let's find out.

Woman charged with false report in drug death
Man died with drugs, alcohol in system
Woman charged with false report in drug death
Man died with drugs, alcohol in system
BELLOWS FALLS, Vt. —
A 28-year-old New Hampshire woman is facing a charge of making a false report that Vermont State Police say interfered with a drug investigation after a man died with illegal drugs in his system.
Police say Julene Alva and an associate whom they did not name dropped Luke Vanranst off at the Bellows Falls police department on the evening of Dec. 4, saying they had found him collapsed in a parking lot in New Hampshire. Vanranst later died, and drugs and alcohol were found in his system during an autopsy.
Police say Alva's statements about where Vanranst was found were false, and prevented police from going to the location to where the illegal drugs were.
Alva is to be arraigned in the criminal court in Brattleboro on Feb. 26.

More and more of us are becoming well seasoned travellers willing to take risks and explore new areas.
(PRWEB UK) 1 February 2013
Suitcase.org.uk has received various enquiries regarding the best ways to extend mobile phone batteries when travelling for long periods of time. As a result the company has decided to issue some tips and advice on how to make a mobile phone battery last as long as possible.
As well as providing common sense such as turning off 3G facilities and not using unnecessary Apps and features such as the camera or video there are some devices that prolong a mobile phones life. The first is a pre charged battery booster which will enable a smartphone to last for approximately 24 hours via a micro USB point used for most Android, Windows and Blackberry handsets. In addition to this another device featuring the same set up with even longer added battery life is available.
If you are travelling for even longer than 24 hours without electricity then it is best to ditch the smartphone altogether. Mobile phones with less advanced features such as a button display, no camera and app capability will last longer. Telecoms expert from uSwitch.com added, 'As feature packed and hi tech as touch screen smart phones are these days, it's the stalwart mobile that will stand you in good stead when it comes to battery life.
The most dependable power source for your mobile phone is the sun. Solar powered phones are available as well as rucksack that can charge and navigate via GPS in most desert locations.
Jenny Wadlow from Suitcase.org.uk, the UK's leader in travel and luggage solutions explained, 'More and more of us are becoming well seasoned travellers willing to take risks and explore new areas. Modern technology has of course aided so many aspects of this, yet battery life is just not long enough to go camping all weekend or hiking over European mountains. The devices aim to add a little more life to your mobile phone so you can continue your trip safely with contact to assistance if needed.'
Suitcase.org.uk continues to release consumer based tips and ideas regarding travel.
Suitcase.org.uk is a lead supplier in brand names such as Samsonite and Antler as well as cost effective luggage solutions. Established to cater for a nationwide market the company takes pride in making airport luggage and everyday necessities such as laptop cases, handbags and holdalls accessible to all at competitive prices. The online store offers safe and secure payment via facilities like Sage and PayPal.

Rare disease awareness more than just a day for pharmas
FDA touted a high number of approvals and expedited reviews in its 2012 self-assessment, but equally encouraging was the news that the agency approved 9 New Molecular Entities (NMEs) for rare diseases, defined in the US as conditions affecting fewer than 200,000 people.
The report also noted that last year's rare disease drug approvals, which included Protalix's Elelyso for Gaucher Disease and Lundbeck's Onfi for Lenox-Gastaux syndrome seizures, were part of a larger story of giving these smaller conditions greater attention. From 2007 to 2012 treatments for rare diseases accounted for fully one third of NMEs approved by FDA.
Treatments for rare diseases face distinct challenges in navigating the approval process. Clinical trials are necessarily smaller for rare diseases, and the patient voice on review panels is seen as a way to draw greater attention to unmet needs.
Despite the "rare" designation, agency Siren Interactive notes in its Rare Disease Awareness Day infographic that a country comprised of every person with a rare disease would would be the third most-populous in the world. With rare diseases becoming more and more a center of gravity in biopharma pipelines, many companies are ramping up their outreach, and Rare Disease Awareness Day events are popping up throughout the week.
"We're immersed in the rare disease community, so basically everything we do is in support of rare diseases," Lundbeck communications manager Katie White told MM&M. Lundbeck, whose product line focuses on CNS disorders, has been promoting a "Raise Your Hand" campaign since 2010. Advertising, which converts clicks into contributions to the National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD), is housed on NORD's site and includes an embeddable code to increase site shares. White said the campaign continues to hit its click goal—10,000 this year—and has raised $30,000 in unrestricted grant money for NORD since it started.
"We could just give NORD that contribution, but this way we're spreading awareness and helping raise the issue," White said. Lundbeck is promoting the fundraising campaign through its Twitter feed as well as on several Facebook pages. White said one of the those pages, Moving Together for HD (Huntington's Disease), has been a major source of clicks across Lundbeck's pages, "even though the money's not going to them but to areas of disease where there is no research going on." She said the shares and clicks for the rare diseases campaign on the Moving Together site have exceeded anything else they've posted, including information about Huntington's Disease.
NORD, which is also promoting Lundbeck's campaign, said the ad has garnered 9,373 clicks as of Wednesday, and had had 167 shares and 144 "Likes" for the two Raise Your Hand Facebook posts.
Lundbeck has traditionally marketed the awareness day to HCPs, including a leave-behind. White said it changed things up this year. Although the company still sent reps out to talk about the campaign, it shelved leave-behinds but provided an email reps can give doctors offices to promote the day.
Novartis, which has 12 drugs in the rare-disease marketplace, is also pursuing a multi-pronged media effort. The company's outreach includes a Twitter "Rare Disease Hour" which kicked off February 13. Attached to the #RDD13 hashtag that's linked to the day itself, the company is using the feed as an educational resource, as well as to link to its YouTube playlist of patient stories.
Spokesperson Julie Masow emailed MM&M that this year's activities—which include participating in the Global Rare Disease R&D conference in Basel as well as US media efforts, including a "mat release (prepackaged content like that distributed by BrandPoint and picked up in publications like the Milwaukee Wisconsin Journal Sentinel)." This year's distribution numbers are not yet available, but Masow said last year's mat releases reached about 880,000 readers, while radio promotion efforts had over 3 million listeners across 382 outlets.
Some industry efforts pack a political punch. Shire, whose products include the Fabry disease treatment Replagal and Firazyr for hereditary angioedema, told MM&M via email that it is concerned about the impending sequestration, "as it will halt needed funding to the NIH for rare disease research and to the FDA for implementation of FDASIA," a user fee enacted in 2012 for review of innovator drugs and biosimilars. The company is also part of a "Wear That You Care" initiative by the R.A.R.E advocacy group that deploys a denim ribbon as a way to raise awareness and funds.
Drug maker Biomarin took the issue to the California statehouse, submitting a resolution asking the State Assembly to recognize today as Rare Disease Day. The company also posted a roster of rare disease patient stories on its website to mark the occasion, and will host an annual on-campus rare disease day event which is a mix-and-mingle of patients and the scientists who work on their treatments. The company told MM&M in an email that the event, which is closed to the press, "is an important way to help connect employees with the patients that they help and bring to life the impact of BioMarin's therapies."

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama has not made a decision to order military strikes against the Syrian government in response to last week's alleged chemical weapons attack near Damascus, a senior administration official said on Tuesday.
The assertion by the U.S. official, which echoed the White House's comments on Monday, came amid mounting signs that Washington and its allies are edging toward a limited use of force against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's loyalists.
Western powers have told the Syrian opposition to expect a strike against Assad's forces within days, sources who attended a meeting between envoys and the Syrian National Coalition in Istanbul told Reuters earlier on Tuesday.
"The president has not made a decision to undertake military action," the U.S. official in Washington told Reuters.

Trial set for ex-deputy accused of killing parents
Trial set for ex-deputy accused of killing parents
BURLINGTON, Ky. —
A judge has denied a motion to delay the trial of a former Warren County, Ohio, sheriff's deputy who is accused of killing his parents in northern Kentucky.
The Kentucky Enquirer reports the decision comes after years of delays in the case of Michael Moore, who is charged with murder in the 2009 slayings of Warren and Madge Moore. The couple lived in Union, Ky.
Defense attorney Joanne Lynch had asked for another delay in the proceedings saying she had recently uncovered new information and wanted time to conduct DNA testing of clothing in the case.
Prosecutors had opposed the motion.
The trial is set to begin Monday with jury selection and is expected to last up to five weeks.

I am not going to join the chorus of genealogy bloggers chiming in about the recent episodes of WDYTYA (Who Do You Think You Are?). I would much rather review a show that was missed by a large portion of American family history researchers. I call it the "other" show because when I ask my audiences if they saw it, people often say, "Oh yeah, what was its name, that other show?" This "other" show premiered on PBS a year ago and is now available on DVD. In my humble opinion, this "other" show is what our quest for our roots is all about.
Have you seen FACES OF AMERICA?
I was very puzzled by the number of family historians who watched WDYTYA but missed FACES OF AMERICA on public television. I think there are a few reasons why FACES was not seen by a wider audience, lack of big money sponsors among them. The advertising and tie-ins for WDYTYA have a much bigger budget. Plus, a short time before FACES aired, the host, Professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr., had been involved in an incident with the police that eventually involved President Obama. I wondered if his notoriety might have caused viewers to develop a preconceived opinion of the host.Professor Gates is superb in his role as host of FACES. He is warm and empathetic and intelligent. He takes a sensitive but frank tone when dealing with the complexities of ethnicity and race and history. As someone who walks a fine line lecturing about aspects of Irish history--including its religious and social and political controversies, plus the emotions such controversies engender in my audiences--I can attest to the difficulty of Gate's challenge and his success in meeting it..
The program deals with the intertwined themes of genealogy, American history, and the immigrant experience. Where WDYTYA is a plodding narrative, FACES is a symphony that weaves the guests' genealogies into a search for what it means to be American, and for what it means to be descended from ancestors who left family and country, often forever, for life in a new land.
Yes, the subjects whose genealogies are traced on FACES are famous people. But they are not all famous actors, some are well-known in other fields (you may not recognize all of the guests, I did not). Their reactions and emotions seem genuine (well, perhaps some more than others--I have a hard time trusting the reactions of actors on these genealogy programs). Some very startling family secrets are revealed, and some poignant family stories are recounted.
My unanticipated reaction to the DNA segment illustrates how expertly Gates evokes emotion from the viewer. In the segment, Gates and his father are subjects of extensive DNA testing. If you are a family historian, you know how confusing and intricate explanations about DNA testing can be. If you are like me, your eyes glaze over and your head spins when shown a chart of T's and Eves and Y's and what-nots.Well, FACES has the most understandable explanation of DNA testing I have heard, but that is not what is remarkable about the segment. What is remarkable is the emotion evoked when Gates and his father view their DNA analysis. Yes, emotion! When they are shown a chart which reveals the DNA of Gate's late mother, the reaction of the men is so intense that I felt tears welling in my own eyes.
C'mon--I was almost crying over a DNA analysis! Can a genealogy program be any better crafted than that?
LINKS AND INFORMATIONFirst, I want to make clear that I am not associated with FACES OF AMERICA or PBS in any way.
The PBS website has information on buying the DVD. Other sources also carry the DVD. The PBS site has short videos and some of the episodes you can view free:

One Study, Three News Releases, and Big Results
Sometimes a story has so much potential, it would be unfair to limit it to just one news release. That's why Newswise worked with Duke Medicine to identify not one, but three different angles for possible news releases on a recent research study, and the results will amaze you.

For BeBe and CeCe Winans's last tour together, the brother and sister duo showcased their contemporary gospel music using Meyer Sound MICA® line array loudspeakers, supplied by Blackhawk Audio of White House, Tenn. The Winans have been recording together since 1984, and won two 2010 Grammy Awards for "Best Gospel Performance" and "Best Contemporary R&B Gospel Album."
Touching down in six cities, the April leg of the tour started in the Winans's hometown of Detroit and closed at The Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Venue capacities ranged from 3,000 to 5,000, presenting a challenge for uniformly delivering the propulsive, urban contemporary sound of the Winans and their co-headliners on the bill, three-time Grammy winners Mary Mary.
"The MICAs really did their job," says Rick Shimer, Blackhawk Audio's CEO and FOH mixer on the tour. "The R&B sound of today's gospel demands a lot of impact and sound pressure, and we had all that we needed."
The twin arrays of 12 MICA loudspeakers each were supported by a dozen 700-HP subwoofers, with four UPA-1P loudspeakers as front fill. On stage, two CQ-2 and two MSL-4 loudspeakers, three more 700-HP subwoofers, and two MJF-212A stage monitors supplemented the Sennheiser in-ear systems (for the downstage vocalists) and Aviom systems (upstage for the band). The FOH setup was optimized by a Galileo® loudspeaker management system with one Galileo 616 processor.
"The Meyer systems afforded an amazing amount of power and clarity, but with a small footprint on stage and in the truck," says Tim Wagoner, production manager for the tour, "Most of the theaters on this tour were built 80 or more years ago and heavy, amp rack-ridden systems would have been a real problem for stage space."
Shimer engineered the FOH mix behind an Avid VENUE Profile console, while monitors were mixed with a Yamaha M7CL. Shure UR wireless systems with SM58 capsules were provided for the four headliners' vocals.
For Shimer, the power of the MICA-based system was complemented by its trademark transparency in the vocal range. "There's one number by Mary Mary that's almost acoustic, and it really highlights the power and subtlety of their vocals. It's a moment when you want the PA to just go away, so it's those two girls on stage singing straight to you. And the MICA system does just that."

Eco-Friendly Holiday Gift Ideas
It's the holiday season, and that means it's time for holiday gift giving! Instead of giving gadgets and knick - knacks that will be tossed aside, consider some eco-friendly gifts this year. Here are some holiday gift ideas to inspire you (and don't forget the organic wrapping paper):
- Recycled goods: Today you can find just about anything made from recycled goods. From recycled sea glass into necklaces to repurposed sweaters into scarves and even welcome mats created from flip flops. Try visiting Etsy.com to find upcycled items or for more holiday inspiration.
- Coupons: Create homemade coupons for the lawn and garden. Offer to help with planting in the spring or shoveling the driveway this winter.
- Handmade items: Are you good at knitting, painting, cooking or another special skill? Turn your hobbies into a thoughtful, heartfelt present.
- Seeds/plants: The gardeners in your life will love getting an early start on their garden planning. Even if the recipient doesn't have a green thumb (yet), flowers, trees and other houseplants make great holiday gifts.
- Reusable cups: Aluminum water bottles, reusable travel mugs and ceramic cups come in all shapes, sizes and designs. With so many choices, you can certainly find something unique, while keeping plastic bottles and cups out of landfills.
- Experiences:Take the recipient on a rock climbing adventure, plan a trip to the botanical gardens or make a visit to the zoo. Experiences offer memories you'll create together and remember forever.
- Donations: Donate money in your friend or family member's name to her or her favorite non-profit organization. You can even "adopt" everything from stars to manatees in someone's name!

The SFPUC Alameda Watershed Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) will provide long-term conservation measures for threatened or endangered species that could be affected by ongoing water system operations and maintenance efforts within the SFPUC-owned portion of the Alameda Watershed, or by recreation, lease, and easement activities.
The first three draft chapters of the HCP were completed and then revised in response to comments from federal and state agencies and the public. Two more draft chapters--4, Impact Analysis, and 5, Conservation Strategy--were made available in November 2011. (Fish species are being addressed separately and results will be integrated as they become available.) The final draft chapters--6: Implementation and Funding; 7: Assurances; 8: Alternatives Analysis--are now available.
Recent Science Panel Proceedings
An independent review panel of distinguished scientists met on May 17 and 18 to review the modeling tools developed to evaluate the potential benefits and impacts to covered fish species. The panel's recommendations are posted below.
Public Meeting
A public meeting is scheduled for June 12, 2012 to share updates on the HCP, including Draft Chapters 6 (Implementation and Funding), 7 (Assurances) and 8 (Alternatives), and discuss current modeling efforts to evaluate benefits and impacts to covered fish species. The meeting agenda and informational materials will be posted on the website later this month. The meeting will start at 6:30 p.m. at the Dublin Civic Center Regional Meeting Room, 100 Civic Plaza, Dublin CA.
The summary report and informational materials for the public meeting that took place on December 8, 2011 are available. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss Draft Chapter 4 (Impact Analysis) and 5 (Conservation Strategy).
Preliminary Draft Chapters
All preliminary draft chapters are posted below as separate attachments, along with the comments on the first three chapters and the SFPUC responses. However, these preliminary chapters do not represent the final public draft chapters, since information is still being collected and analyses have yet to be completed.
Chapter 1: Introduction (January 2010)
Provides the scope, its regulatory context, and the methodology for selecting the 18 special-status species for coverage.
Chapter 2: Covered Activities (January 2010)
Addresses the evaluation and selection of covered activities associated with our water supply system operations and maintenance in the study area, lease permitting and easements, and HCP implementation.
Chapter 3: Physical and Biological Resources (January 2010)
Covers the physical and biological setting for the Alameda Watershed HCP, the baseline conditions, and the data collection methods used to define them.
Chapter 4: Impact Analysis (November 2011)
Analyzes impacts from covered activities to covered species. Current version addresses plants and wildlife (terrestrial and non-fish aquatic species).
Chapter 5: Conservation Strategy (November 2011)
Includes a fully integrated program of avoidance and minimization, mitigation, monitoring, and adaptive management to mitigate impacts on covered species. Current version addresses conservation of non fish species.
Chapter 6: Implementation and Funding (May 2012)
Describes the overall implementation policies of the HCP, including SFPUC implementation responsibilities, land acquisition, reporting, and an overview of the cost to implement the HCP.
Chapter 7: Assurances (May 2012)
Discusses the rights and responsibilities of the SFPUC, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the National Marine Fisheries Service with regard to changed and unforeseen circumstances that may occur over the permit term. This chapter also defines the process by which the parties can make minor and major modifications to the HCP.
Chapter 8: Alternatives (May 2012)
Discusses alternative actions to the incidental take of federally listed species.
Current Covered Species Profiles, providing known and validated information for each, are also available for your reference. See the Summary Report from the December 8, 2011 community meeting.
Throughout the development of this plan, we have been in consistent consultation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the National Marine Fisheries Service, and the California Department of Fish and Game. We anticipate presenting the entire draft HCP through the public outreach process during the summer of 2012, and look forward to your comments at that time. The environmental review process will also provide opportunities for formal public comment.
For further information about the Alameda Watershed Habitat Conservation Plan, please contact project manager Joanne Wilson, Land and Natural Resources Management, (650) 652-3205, email@example.com.

Comics edition #9: Hosts Len Wein (creator of Wolverine, Swamp Thing, and hundreds more), Adam Beechen (Hench, Batman Beyond), Ben Blacker (Thrilling Adventure Hour; Wolverine: Season One), and Heath Corson (Aim High; Scary Godmother) discuss fanship and creators' responsibility to fans, including the Veronica Mars movie, the (first) death of Robin, killing characters, and more.
Nerdist Comics Panel #9: Fanship and Creators' Responsibility
You guys discussed how there is no real death in superhero comics and then discuss how the stakes of superhero comics are always life and death, but never address the impact of one concept on the other. How can the stakes be life or death when there is no death?
Speaking of stories from a different perspective, have you seen the Hawkeye issue a couple months back from the perspective of Pizza Dog? Really well designed and the perspective is unlike a lot of things I've seen in mainstream comics.
Looking forward to it. Here's the problem with killing Robin to me. Batman is motivated by the murder of his parents. When his son is murdered and it's actually his own fault for the most part, his parents' deaths no longer are that big a deal. You mess up the origin.

text: Missouri Conservation Agent Karen Armstrong visited the Little Dixie Regional Library in Moberly to talk with youth about worms yesterday afternoon (Tuesday, July 9). It was quite an informative session, with all in attendance examining gummy worms first — then eating them. Next, it was on to the real thing. All were given a napkin they needed to spray with water, and then a real live worm was delivered. Did you know: Worms don't have eyes, but do have segments? That worms need to be kept wet? That they breathe through their skin? That worms have five hearts? Armstrong even answered the question on everyone's mind: "No, a worm does not grow into two worms if divided in half." More fun facts: worms are not of the snake family. It only takes one worm to reproduce. The ring around a worm is only present in adult worms. The ring is the egg sack. Worms have hair. With a magnifying glass, all were invited to check out this "hair" on the bottom side of worm.

For 50 years, the world's best runners have adhered to the Arthur Lydiard doctrine: the importance of a high-mileage base. Now, a skateboarding powerlifter turned endurance athlete is trashing tradition, claiming high-intensity, low-volume training is better. Runners have called Brian MacKenzie the antichrist. But could he be right?
This piece first appeared in the June 2011 issue of Competitor Magazine.
The headquarters for Crossfit Endurance is a two-bedroom house, just a few blocks off Interstate 405, in an Orange County suburb. Brian MacKenzie, the founder of Crossfit Endurance, lives and works here. There are whiteboards throughout his home and garage, and MacKenzie even uses the glass of his dining room table to scrawl notes, workouts and diagrams. A bike is set up on a stationary trainer in the family room, a treadmill resides in the living room, and his "office" is a broad desk piled with books, magazines and a desktop Macintosh. It is through this computer that he does the bulk of his communicating with what has become a loose-knit network of coaches and endurance athletes around the world.
The heart of MacKenzie's laboratory is in the garage. The cardio gear includes a Versaclimber, a rowing machine, a watt-based bicycle ergometer and another treadmill. Against the rear wall is a squat rack with piles of barbell weights on either side. Kettlebells—including one in the shape of a skull—are scattered throughout. A pull-up bar hangs from the ceiling, as does a climbing rope.
When I visit MacKenzie, he is wearing board shorts, a black T-shirt and black leather Chuck Taylor high-tops. Built like an MMA fighter, the sinewy 190-pound MacKenzie is not your average ultrarunner. He stands in the center of the garage over a heavily plated barbell preparing to deadlift the weight from the floor to waist-level. He's doing seven rounds of two repetitions, and to increase the resistance at the top phase of the lift, two green stretch bands are hooked to clips bolted into the cement floor. They are taut across the barbell at each end. MacKenzie's posture is taut as well, like a fist. He reaches down with tattooed arms and hands, and the weights explode upward as he launches the lift.
Dynamic powerlifts like this are one of the core elements of his creation, a regimen that seems to have divided the runners and triathletes familiar with it into two camps: reverent followers on one side and on the other side, CFE skeptics, some of whom post on forums such as Letsrun.com and Slowtwitch.com, calling him a "tattooed snake-oil salesman" and "the antichrist." So far, the dissenters haven't been able to bring him down.

Wesley Wins Top Ten Battle Over Delaware Valley
Sept. 19, 2010
Courtesy of Wesley Athletics
DOVER, Del. - Senior Leonard Stevenson (Nanjemoy, Md./Lackey) caught a touchdown with 3:29 to go to lift No. 3 Wesley to a 21-17 win over No. 8 Delaware Valley in a clash of top 10 teams.
During a first half in which both defenses controlled the tempo, the Wolverines used a pair of big plays to jump ahead 14-0. After neither team scored in the opening quarter, Brandon Wright (Clayton, N.J./Clayton) found a hole on the left side, broke tackles and spun around defenders before tip toeing down the sideline for a 51-yard touchdown run with 12:05 left in the half.
Wesley forced Delaware Valley to punt on its next possession, but a 78-yard punt return was called back on a block in the back. Starting on their own three, the Wolverines moved out near midfield before Justin Sottilare (Baltimore, Md./Calvert Hall) connected with Ellis Krout (Dallas, Texas/Roosevelt) down the sideline for a 58-yard score and a 14-0 lead midway through the second half.
On the last drive of the first half, Delaware Valley got some offense going and moved deep into Wesley territory to the 11-yardline. Mark Hatty's pass on fourth and two fell incomplete and the Wolverines went into the locker room with a two touchdown lead.
The Aggies got on the board on the second play of the third quarter when Mike Jaskowski intercepted a pass and returned it 23 yards for a score.
Wesley turned the ball over in its own territory on its next possession as well, but Del Val missed a 27-yard field goal.
Yet another Wesley turnover set up the Aggies' second touchdown later in the period. Chris James picked off Sottilare and Hatty connected with Chris Ruiz for 47 yards on the next play to move Delaware Valley to the Wesley eight. Matt Cook found some room up the middle to tie things at 14-14 with 1:29 left in the third quarter.
The Wolverines' sixth turnover of the afternoon, set up Delaware Valley at the Wesley 26. Wesley prevented a third down conversion from the eight yardline, however, and the Aggies settled for a 17-14 lead with 8:14 to play after Jake Sobchak's 20-yard field goal.
The Wesley offense found its legs again, however, on the next possession. The Wolverines faced third and eight at their own 36 when Gene Knight (Baltimore, Md./Overlea) took a short pass and scooted 13 yards for a first down near midfield. Wesley needed another big conversion later in drive faced with fourth and seven at the Delaware Valley 28. But Sottilare hit Sean McAndrew (Lanoka Harbor, N.J./Lacey Township) for 20 yards, then found Stevenson in the end zone on the next snap to reclaim the lead.
The defense took over from there forcing the Aggies into turnovers on downs on their final two possessions to preserve the win.
Wesley gained over 400 yards on the afternoon, but Delaware Valley forced six turnovers and benefitted from 13 penalties by the Wolverines to stay in the contest, despite being limited to just 228 yards.
Wright had another strong effort for Wesley, rushing 25 times for 145 yards and a touchdown and also caught two passes for 15 yards.
McAndrew caught six passes for 61 yards, while Krout hauled in five receptions for 97 yards and a score.
Sottilare finished 19-of-34 for 246 yards, but was intercepted four times.
The Wesley defense hounded Hatty into just 17-of-39 passing, sacking him five times and knocking down seven passes.
Cook, who became Del Val's all-time leading scorer in the game, was held to just 34 yards on 17 carries, but scored one touchdown.
Jeff Morgan (Vineland, N.J./Vineland) led Wesley with a pair of sacks among three tackles for loss. Mike Asiedu (Yonkers, N.Y./Gorton) knocked down three passes.
Terrance Osbourne made 11 tackles for the Aggies.
Wesley will hit the road next week, heading to Capital of the Ohio Athletic Conference.
