Most of the stages, lighting and crew teams have arrived. Within a matter of days, thousands will be gathering at JetBlue Park to rock the day and night away during the second annual Fort Rock music fest, featuring none other than Rob Zombie, Korn, Five Finger Death Punch, Seether, Theory of a Deadman, Black Stone Cherry, Lacuna Coil and many more, Saturday, April 26, with doors opening at 11 a.m.
James "Munky" Shaffer, one of the guitarists and founders of the heavy-hitting rock group Korn, taking the main stage around 8:30 that night, said fans can expect a great collection of earlier music and newer music from the award-winning band.
"It's pretty challenging to come up with the set list because we have so many albums, such a big catalog of choices, so we all have to compromise," he said. "It'll be a combination of old songs, some bigger radio hits, and also some new stuff, too."

The group's most recently released album "The Paradigm Shift" balances out the band's dynamic sounds of rock, grunge, metal and industrial, after the previously released album "The Path of Totality" additionally featuring new elements of dubstep/electronic tones, with legendary DJ Skrillex blending his sounds into many of the tracks. Munky feels the group worked with these new electronic elements and are finding their own unique sound within them.
"I think we took it so far into that dubstep arena, and kind of experimented with it. Now we can take the elements we really liked about that and put it in the context where it makes sense for Korn," he explained. "It feels more of a metal approach to things, and the way we're writing is more of a traditional band again, where we're all sitting in a room writing together. It's subtle and makes more sense, definitely a better blend."
Shortly after the Fort Myers show, Korn hits the road for a Western Europe and Russian tour, so the group is eager to deliver a heavy set list to local fans while keeping the normally-action-packed stage to a minimum.

"Since we've got the Western Europe/Russia tour shortly after, we're going pretty minimal as far as I know (stage- and set-wise), because of that transition, keeping it simple and letting the fans enjoy the music," Munky said.
Later in the year when the group returns to The States, they'll bring back the video screens, pyrotechnics and mind-blowing set set-ups. In the meantime, just sit back and enjoy the killer rock sounds for which these guys are so well-known and be sure to read more Q&A with this legendary guitarist, below this article!
Another great musical act on the Fort Rock roster that day is Five Finger Death Punch, hitting the main stage around 6:45 that evening. Jeremy Spencer, drummer and one of the founders of the group, is eager to hit the Florida circuit.

|Speaking with Korn's guitarist James "Munky" Shaffer about music and life
|Do you have any superstitious rituals or things you do out of habit while on the road – or just before going on stage? I have to do a lot of stretching. I have to stretch, and give myself about an hour to stretch and change clothes and sort of get "in the element." Also, using the toilet. It's sort of like, "Okay, if you need to use the bathroom, do it now." Usually we're walking to the stage and one of us has to go. Some of the traveling gets a little tiring: being in close quarters, traveling in a tiny space, hungry, tired. It can be unnerving sometimes. But when we go on stage, we have so much fun and makes it so worth it.
|Anything in particular you like to do to pass the time while on the road? I try to catch a movie. Depending on the travel, or how long the night before, I usually try to get a jog around town, snap some shots of the touristy things in the town or city. I stay active because it helps to get away from the venue, to sort of get perspective. If you sleep all day and only see the inside of a venue night after night, it just doesn't work. I'll go to the music store/record store – I'll even go grocery shopping, finding myself picking out snacks – finding healthier foods. Even just pushing around shopping cart, feeling kind of like a domestic feeling, feels like being home.
|What do you like to know your fans take from your music? First of all, I like to think music is the universal language; it connects so many people who would ordinarily not be in a room together. It brings a common thread, to bond. The message is things we all go through. Jonathon (Davis, lead singer) has been really successful giving people a voice, not being so alone. It's important to know someone out there understands you. When you have the power of music behind you, it's a whole new level. In person, it's a whole new monster. It allows you to exercise your feelings. Watching the live show makes people feel like they've exuded that negative energy and have relief. After that, you can go back to your day-to-day with some satisfaction – and go back to the record, connecting. It makes me appreciate the work even more, and it's great doing it all the time. It's very therapeutic.
|What're your hobbies/adventures when you're not in the studio or rocking on stage? Spending time with the family. I'm married with two kids – a 12-year-old and 1.5-year-old, so when I'm home, it's family time.
|Can you tell us what Korn has on the horizon? When we're not on tour or recording, we've been working on some new songs in the studio, just utilizing our time, seeing what happens. We're also talking about doing a new video – not sure which song yet – pretty soon, and might be doing it in a European city. We havent really had anything like that from this record (The Paradigm Shift) and we're doing the Mayhem Tour, starting July 5 in LA. That'll be the second half of summer. And at that point, we'll see from there.

"It's almost like a vacation spot for us it's awesome down there," Jeremy laughed. "The weather's great, everyone's always excited. It should be a really great time."
As for a sneak-peak at what to expect during 5FDP's set list, the rockin' drummer's lips are staying pretty sealed.
"You can look forward to pretty much a little of everything. We certainly have more albums now, so we have more material to pick from and we've definitely got some surprises, but I don't want to give it away," he teased.
Together now for 10 years, Jeremy feels his group has certainly grown, expanded and evolved over its first decade of laying down heavy rock goodness.
"We've absolutely evolved over that time," he said. "We started with just Zoltan (Bathory, guitarist) and me on the first album. There have been some member changes, and locked into a chemistry now that we're really comfortable with. But the other guys were important, too, because they helped develop our style. We're really happy now, in growth and maturity. We've learned what works and what doesn't."
As for Jeremy's personal influences, he was drawn to the heavy rock drummers, but originally hit the skins as a young boy, following in the footsteps of his mother, who's also a drummer.
"My mom was a drummer in college, and my grandma got me a drum kit from Sears for me when I was a kid then I basically discovered KISS, staring at the album cover, like, 'Man, this is incredible.' I was so into the fact that they looked like that," he said. "Certainly whenever I heard bands with double bass drums, like Metallica and Slayer, I was so impressed that you can do that rhythmically with your feet. I practiced and practiced until I finally figured out how to do it."
Be sure to make it out to the show Saturday to watch Munky, Jeremy and dozens of other talented musicians come together to create the largest rock event to hit Southwest Florida this year.

The Questioned Document Section focuses on the identification of handwriting, indentations, obliterations, alterations, and differentiating ink.
A document may be defined as anything that can be written, copied or reproduced that conveys a meaning or message. The premise(s) of which handwriting identification is based are that no two individuals can produce exactly the same writing and that an individual cannot exactly reproduce his own handwriting.
The identification of handwriting is a result of performing a comprehensive comparative analysis between the questioned document and known handwriting of the suspected writer. Specific habits, characteristics and individualities of both the questioned item and the known samples are examined for similarities and differences.
The goal of the Questioned Document Section is to insure the quality, integrity and accuracy of the examinations, to provide services to the Criminal Justice Community and to provide expert testimony for Criminal Justice proceedings in accordance with the policies of the laboratory.


text: Oclaro's tunable laser solutions are based on our proprietary Digital Supermode Distributed Bragg Reflector (DS-DBR) design, which has been widely adopted in a range of tunable transponder products for more than a decade, and well over 500,000 lasers have been field deployed. A key accomplishment over the past two years has been the adaptation of the DS-DBR design to coherent applications, where high optical output power, narrow linewidth, low phase noise, and compact form factors are key requirements. This was achieved by optimizing the cavity geometry and the multi-quantum-well gain section, offering a lower intrinsic linewidth enhancement factor; these changes have also delivered superior operational characteristics at high operating temperature, leading to further reduction in overall power dissipation.

I was giving a poetry seminar earlier this week, and we got onto the subject of hair in Robert Browning's poetry, and then, hair as a gift. I had a full text of 'Sonnets from the Portuguese' to hand, and was able to read out Elizabeth Barrett (Browning to be):
I never gave a lock of hair away
To a man, Dearest, except this to thee,
Which now upon my fingers thoughtfully,
I ring out to the full brown length and say
"Take it." My day of youth went yesterday;
My hair no longer bounds to my foot's glee,
Nor plant I it from rose or myrtle-tree,
As girls do, any more: it only may
Now shade on two pale cheeks the mark of tears,
Taught drooping from the head that hangs aside
Through sorrow's trick. I thought the funeral-shears
Would take this first, but Love is justified, ---
Take it thou, --- finding pure, from all those years,
The kiss my mother left here when she died.
One of the students in class spoke of her repugnance to cut hair, even her own on the hairdresser's floor, seeing it as dead stuff that should be swept away out of sight. All this made me think about hair bracelets: John Donne's 'subtile wreath of haire, which crownes my arme' and, more famously, that 'bracelet of bright haire about the bone' ('The Funeral' and 'The Relique', of course). The word 'relics' will tend to crop up in later references, perhaps partly because of that poem.
As a lover's token, the bracelet of hair lasted through millenia. Here's a disappointed lover in Mrs. Manley's Lucius (1717):
And only I am left to speak her Falsehood;
An hated Evidence of broken Faith.
And yet some Proof remains;
[Pulls a Bracelet from his Arm.
This Bracelet's of her Hair, wove with her Hand,
Which, to the Present, gave a double Value;
View well the Clasp, see her fair Self enshrin'd,
The Altar where my constant Vows I paid:
These were the Gifts she gave me with her Heart.
Why do I still such worthless Toys retain,
When the chief Jewel is recall'd?
Why yet (as sacred Relicks of our Love)
Worship the Shrine of an apostate Fair?
Hence, vain Remembrancers of past Delight,
[Stamps upon the Bracelet and Picture.
His beloved wove it herself. But some of the surviving examples are of such extraordinary craftsmanship, that one has to wonder if a professional maker wasn't sometimes used.
The Victoria and Albert has just one in its online collection,
but 19th century examples can be found in abundance on commercial antique jewelry sites like
(click on 'Victorian Hair Jewelry' in the left hand pane). My image is snipped from the
If by some sleight a Garter you have got
From her that will not love you, keep it not;
Or if you have a Bracelet of her hair,
Or any such like toy, them never wear …
Ha, ha, ha, a Bracelet of a lock of Hair,
In colour much resembling my Wives: but
Such a trick on me, were to little purpose,
I'le tangle no more there---but now I think on't,
I have found the knack; as sure as I am made
Of flesh and blood, 'tis Melvissa courts me
For her self …
I'le pleasure her desire, and wear her favour.
[Puts it on his arm.
The Devil on't, it warms the vein that leads
To the Heart strangely; and 'tis love I feel
In abundance …
I assume that it was the Victorians themselves who finally completed the transformation of an amatory token (or sign of tortured erotic remembrance) into apparatus for that favourite mode of theirs, mourning. Robin Jaffee Frank, who curated a major exhibition of American miniatures, has written about this famous miniature ('The Dead Bride'), with its woven sample of her hair,
and explains that while hair 'has been used to represent loss in rituals of mourning the world over', the ingenuity of its deployments in colonial and federal
Through such extravagances, hair as a pleasing memento of a living person must gradually have become, in the main, a faintly grisly memento of the dead. Elizabeth Barrett's sonnet captures an unexpected reversion to the former. But it took Donne to rejoice in both at once.

Robert B. Parker's Jesse Stone (Tom Selleck) returned to television this past weekend, but sadly without his author's voice. Written by Selleck and Michael Brandman Benefit of the Doubt continues to examine the the life of the recovering alcoholic police chief of Paradise, Massachusetts. Although the latest made-for-TV film delivers another strong character-centered story, the script is lacking the flair of Parker's trademark wit.

Winderlea Vineyard & Winery
Winderlea Vineyard & Winery is a boutique winery specializing in the limited production of Pinot noir and Chardonnay from Oregon. Transplanted Bostonians, Bill Sweat and Donna Morris founded Winderlea in 2006 with the purchase of the renowned Goldschmidt Vineyard in the Dundee Hills. The earliest plantings on Winderlea's 20 acre estate vineyard date back to 1974 and include Pommard, Wadenswil and the Coury clones. Their estate vineyard was always farmed gently and with Bill and Donna's purchase in 2006 they introduced more sustainable practices allowing the vineyard to earn its LIVE and Salmon Safe certifications in 2008, a year in which they started to farm organically. In 2009 they began employing biodynamic practices. In addition to their estate wines, Winderlea makes wines with fruit from some of their neighbors in the legendary Dundee Hills including the Maresh, Weber, Juliard and Murto Vineyards. In 2010 they started to purchase fruit from outside of the Dundee Hills from the likes of Shea, Meredith Mitchell and Crawford Beck Vineyards. In 2014, Winderlea took out a 10 year lease on Meredith Mitchell Vineyard and is now managing the property and implementing Biodynamic farming techniques. Additionally, Bryan Creek Vineyard in the Chehalem Mountains was added to their impressive portfolio of single-vineyard designate wines. The onetime Bostonians now call Dundee, Oregon their home and are committed to continuing the traditions of responsible stewardship of the land and the highest quality artisan winemaking.
In addition to their regular tasting hours, Winderlea offers a three course luncheon on Fridays at 11am from July through September. Lunches include a tour of the vineyard and feature a library wine that is exclusively available the day of the lunch. $60 per person by advance reservation only. Please see their website for details and availability.
Winderlea's tasting fee is $20 and is donated toward an annual contribution the winery makes to iSalud!, the organization that provides healthcare services to Oregon's vineyard workers and their families.

Q. I notice the SQL deployment in Azure has an IP address for the SQL cluster resource that moves between nodes. How does that work in Azure?
A. There are a huge number of templates available in Azure that demonstrate the deployment of many types of workload for both Windows and Linux. One of these templates deploys a complete SQL cluster and if you look inside the SQL cluster you will see the SQL listener resource has a valid IP address from the virtual subnet. This IP also moves between the VMs as the SQL resource fails over between the instances. This will bring up a question for many people as the traditional understanding is:
- vmNICs can have multiple IP addresses however this must be set from the Azure fabric
- You cannot statically configure IP addresses within a VM, they must use DHCP
- IP addresses cannot move between VMs
What is actually happening behind the scenes is that while the cluster nodes have the IP address of the SQL Endpoint and seem to move it between nodes, the actual IP address really resides on an internal load balancer (ILB) as the front-end IP address (the same IP address you see within the VMs as the IP for the SQL cluster resource). It is the ILB that receives the SQL requests and then sends the IP packets to whichever node is currently active (which is ascertained by the ILB via a custom probe that operates on a port that only the active node will respond to). The reason the nodes need to still know the IP address and be configured is that direct server return (DSR) is leveraged which means the response to the SQL request is sent directly from the active node to the requestor rather than going back via the load balancer (which would have to re-write the packet headers).

Reading this book reminds me of when I get in a taxi to go to my friends house. The pictures are very funny like the one with the clowns doing funny tricks. I like the part when Jim?s boss named Lou gave a treat to Maxi. That?s a great thing to do for the dog cause he could be hungry. I think Maxi is a very happy dog because he helps Jim ride around in his taxi.
I like this book because it is a good story to read. And other people should read this book. I recommend this book to kids my age who like to read. This book is great for kids who like adventures

The following is an article I wrote for A-kato.org. For more self defence articles, please see my posts on self defence.
I had the stock of the paintball rifle pulled tightly into my shoulder as I leaned my back against the rocky mound. Thirty feet away, my opponent was doing the same. "Schnak. Schnak. Schnak." Enemy fire brought paintballs whizzing half a meter away from where I stood. We've been exchanging bursts like this for about thirty seconds; an eternity on the paintball battlefield. It was a standoff.
Either my martial arts training or some good sense kicked in and I decided to take the initiative. I started firing measured bursts, broke cover, and sprinted to close the gap. Twenty feet. Ten feet. The enemy had no choice but to stay behind cover. In seconds I had the snub nose of the paintball rifle held at point blank range. He was forced to surrender.
That game was over 10 years ago, but was a prime example of the favorite martial art saying "The best defence is a good offence." Meaning you should proactively take control of a situation rather than passively holding your ground. The statement is a valid strategy for the modern martial artist. It implies that one should not be passive during an onslaught, but to launch a counter-offensive immediately. The 'best defence' calls one to commit to a first strike, lashing out quickly. Personally, I liken the statement to the ideas I communicate in my self-defence course. Teaching untrained participants to defend themselves requires empowering them to go against the grain; to use an unfamiliar aggressive force. However, this "best defence" worldview is not altogether aligned with the philosophy propounded by traditional martial art systems. Many traditional schools, concerned with developing spiritual calmness, advocate non-violence. The Father of Karate himself, Gichin Funakoshi Sensei, stated in point three of his niju kun, "there is no first attack in Karate." Thus I'm exploring the mirror opposite of the "best defence," which is:
The best offence is a good defence.
The " best offence" makes one think that the way to win an encounter is to improve your defensive skills to a point where your opponent loses his fighting spirit because of his perceived inability to win. This is counter to the self defence idea of a counter-offensive.
Let's look at how the "best offense" relates to martial arts training, and let's start with Taekwondo's first pattern Chon-ji.
Most beginners dismiss Chon-ji for its basic two moves. Does the "best offense" draw our attention on Chon-ji's lower block? The purposeful block to a front kick. Or can it also relate to the high fold of our arms before the low block snaps downward?
In recent years I have taught the folding for the low block as an elbow strike to an oncoming arm or leg. Landing the hard point of your elbow on an opponent's inner forearm or lower shin creates immense discomfort. But think about the reaction hand. If you've got your left arm up and over for a left lower block, what is your right arm doing? Your right arm could be the other part of a powerful defensive sandwich. The opponent's arm being caught between your left elbow and the right forearm (or the palm of your right hand) is subject to crushing forces, bringing us back to the idea of the "best offense."
In this approach to the "best offense," the practitioner robs his opponent of striking tools. It's hard to concentrate on the fight if you've got a broken hand.
This is where martial arts and a good self-defence syllabus overlap. Taking the elbow sandwich idea, a resourceful practitioner could look through all the patterns and discover devastating techniques from rather innocuous, oft-discounted techniques. The following techniques are drawn directly from our Taekwondo patterns and are a few examples of moves that literally rob the opponent of the will to fight.
1. Dan-gun's knife hand fold can be used as an elbow break.
2. Doh-san's cross arm fold for the double knife hand block can be applied powerfully to a double lapel grab by dropping your body weight on your opponent's arms.
3. Won-hyo's cup and saucer hand positions can be used to grip the fingers of an attacker's hand and then wrenched apart separately as one performs the following sequence in the pattern.
4. Yul-guk's jump backfist could deliver a powerful foot stomp to end a fight.
5. Choon-gun's middle block followed by circular block could entrap the opponent's arm, locking out his shoulder joint.
Aside from self-defence type applications, students learning to spar can also explore the "best offense." It is when you wait for your opponent to attack, and as soon as he's committed, you launch a simultaneous counter on obvious loopholes. The trick is learning to read the subtle body shifts before the opponent attacks, and of course, moving quickly to take advantage of them.
This sparring tactic is simple to learn, and can be done with such basic strikes as those learned from Chon-ji and Dan-gun. The interesting point to note is that it contradicts the 'attack first' self-defence strategy for the beginning student. Beginners who use this counter-offensive know that it is fairly easy to successfully score against practitioners of similar skill.
But if you're reading this you might be thinking that there's a certain "trick" to sparring. Or worse, there's a certain "trick" to self defence. I know of a martial arts instructor who says Karate and Taekwondo practitioners "have gotten it all wrong." We train and we add more and more techniques to our repertoire, and finally when we're faced with a real threat, can't pull it together. To this, Funakoshi Sensei, in point fourteen of his niju kun, reminds us to "Move according to your opponent." Meaning, there is no one way to win. Stick with one strategy and you're setting yourself up for failure.
While I myself juxtapose martial arts training with self-defence training, the truth is that there are many overlaps. It is not true that sticking with a routine in one will result in success in another. This is why examining conceptual rules of thumb for both martial arts and self defence should be done throughout your training.
Funakoshi Sensei drives home the message again, "Devise at all times."

Mr Bean is back! But, there is a catch. People can only see him in China.
In a surprising cameo in the Chinese flick 'Top Funny Comedian: The Movie,' actor Rowan Atkinson reprised his role of Mr Bean, reports The Independent.
Known as Mr Foolish Bean in China, his latest vacation takes him to China, where he is using his iPhone to click ornate sculptures.
Atkinson's co-star in the movie, said in an interview with The Beijinger, that we used body language to talk to each other.
He said, '[We communicated] just with facial expressions and gestures. We seemed to understand each other. It was a really interesting experience, which proves that comedy can cross boundaries.'
'Top Funny Comedian: The Movie' is a Chinese answer to hit Hollywood comedy 'The Hangover'.
The story focuses on a group of four men and a woman, venturing to Macau where one of them gets lost, requiring the other four to save them.
Maybe sometime in the future, the world also gets to see a glimpse of 'Mr Bean'.

Geographic Solutions, Inc. GREEN JOBS INITIATIVE, a cutting-edge software solution that helps workforce agencies meet the requirements outlined in the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009.
The promotion of "Green Jobs" is a significant requirement of the ARRA as outlined TEGL 14-08. In the future, workforce agencies will be measured on their compliance in providing services and jobs categorized as 'green'. The Geographic Solutions GREEN JOBS INITIATIVE is packaged within the Geographic Solutions' Virtual OneStop® suite of workforce solutions.
The US Department of Labor's initiative was designed to foster the development of green jobs by providing career information and guidance; developing education and training models in concert with apprenticeship programs and community colleges. Identifying and managing occupations that support an environmentally sustainable economy is a critical challenge for the United States and especially for workforce development agencies. Geographic Solutions recognizes that state and local workforce agencies are at the epicenter of this effort.
The Geographic Solutions' GREEN JOBS INITIATIVE uses a variety of approaches to identify and track "Green Jobs". This includes:
Job seekers can select a 'Green Job' as one of the criteria on their job searches. 'Green Jobs" are clearly identified with a special icon in the job search results and in the detailed job description. Workforce agencies can run federal and state-mandated reports which measure green job compliancy.
Over the past few years, Geographic Solutions has built and successfully launched numerous Green Job portals, including:

Winston-Salem, North Carolina: French qualifier Julien Benneteau broke down in bitter tears after losing to hometown hero John Isner 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 in Saturday`s final of the ATP Winston-Salem Open.
The Frenchman, ranked 113th, fell to 0-5 in ATP career finals but dreamed of breaking his title duck at age 29 after fighting through qualifying matches last weekend just to earn a spot in the field of the last US Open tuneup event.
"I can`t help but show my emotions," said the disappointed runner-up. "I went into this match with nothing to lose. I was going for every shot but it was not enough. It was a final. It meant a lot."
The upset was not to be as powerful US fourth seed Isner fired 19 aces on a cloudy afternoon with Hurricane Irene raging on the coast 500 kilometres to the east. He wrapped up the third title of his career in just over two hours.
"It's just great to win this final - and especially at home," Isner said. "I was just looking forward to coming back home because it had been eight months, since Christmas, that I'd been in the state of North Carolina."
"I definitely wanted to do well here. It's such an important event for me."
Both men must now fight bad weather to reach New York as the full force of the record-breaking hurricane grinds slowly up the coast with all flights to the city cancelled for at least the next 24 hours.
"I`m going to New York with some momentum," Isner said. "That's what I have now."
After rallying from a losing first set to win each of his previous three matches, the luck ran out for the Frenchman, who had saved two match points against Robin Haase to reach the pre-US Open final.
Benneteau`s most recent prior final came in Marseille in February of last year. He was playing in his first final on US soil.
The loss dropped Benneteau to 16-17 on the season but will still lift his ranking to about 83rd. His all-time best ranking was 63rd.
Isner, who grew up in the area, claimed his second title since Wimbledon after Newport on grass in July. He now stands 28-18 on the season, winning 17 of his past 21 matches.
Crowd favourite Isner, ranked 28th, was shocked in the opening set as he lost serve in the ninth game, an error that allowed Benneteau to serve out the set after 33 minutes.
But the Frenchman was unable to consolidate his pending upset, losing serve for 3-all in the second after saving three break points in the game.
Isner then applied the pressure to secure an insurance break for 5-3 and leveled the afternoon a game later at a set apiece.
There were still chances for Benneteau in the third, which Isner cut off with another break midway through the deciding set.
Benneteau saved pride to hold for 3-5 with his sixth ace before Isner ended with an ace of his own, his 66th of the week, to lift the trophy.
"I`m tired from a lot of matches this week," Benneteau said. "My shoulder has been bothering me a bit but that`s normal. There was heat and humidity and difficult conditions."

AURORA — When then-8-week-old Chayse Kluger's temperature began rising about two weeks ago, his father, Ryan, told his wife, Linda, that it was probably the result of the immunization shots he had received recently. However, when the thermometer hit 102 degrees, Linda's maternal instincts kicked in.
"I said, 'He's not fine; we're going to the hospital right now,' " she recalled.
As it turned out, her suspicions were spot on. Although it took nearly two weeks, Chayse eventually was diagnosed with a case of tularemia, or rabbit fever. After treatment with antibiotics, by Thursday afternoon, Chayse — and his very relieved parents — were ready to return to their Longmont home.
"He's back to normal — smiling and flirting with all the nurses," said Linda, standing near a grassy expanse at Children's Hospital Colorado.
Tularemia is a bacterial infection commonly contracted from exposure to sick or dead animals. In some cases, it can be passed on to a human from the bite of a tick or a deer fly.
Linda and Ryan say they have no idea what caused Chayse's illness, pointing out that the most likely possibility was an afternoon spent at a park, where the infant lay on a blanket under a tree.
"It's a bit disconcerting, but I don't know that we'll ever know exactly what happened," said Dr. James Gaensbauer, an infectious-disease specialist at Children's who was part of the team that treated Chayse after he was transferred from a hospital in Longmont.
Chayse was one of the latest of a growing number of cases of tularemia confirmed in Colorado. On July 16, the first incidence of the year was reported in Broomfield; in August, a man in Larimer County was diagnosed with the disease. In addition, rabbit die-offs have been reported in Greenwood Village, Fort Collins and Jefferson County.
While the number of cases in Colorado have increased this year, Gaensbauer said he was sure an outbreak of tularemia wasn't occurring, but rather the likely result of an increasing animal population.
Whatever the cause, holding a gurgling Chayse in her arms, Linda said she was just glad her ordeal was over.
"It's just good to be going home," she said. "It's been a long few weeks."

14 Nights | Europe
About Lipari, Italy
You will visit the following 9 places:
Constanța is the oldest living city in Romania, founded around 600 BC. The city is located in the Dobruja region of Romania, on the Black Sea coast. It is the capital of Constanţa County and the largest city in the region. The city of Constanța is one of the most important in Romania, one of four roughly equal-size cities which rank after Bucharest. The Port of Constanţa is the largest port on the Black Sea, and one of the largest ports in Europe. One of the largest cities in Romania, Constanţa is now an important cultural and economic center, worth exploring for its archaeological treasures and the atmosphere of the old town center. Its historical monuments, ancient ruins, grand Casino, museums and shops, and proximity to beach resorts make it the focal point of Black Sea coast tourism. Open-air restaurants, nightclubs and cabarets offer a wide variety of entertainment. Regional attractions include traditional villages, vineyards, ancient monuments and the Danube Delta, the best preserved delta in Europe.
Varna is the largest city and seaside resort on the Bulgarian Black Sea Coast. It is a major tourist destination, a business and university centre, seaport, and headquarters of the Bulgarian Navyand merchant marine. In 2008, Varna was designated seat of the Black Sea Euro-Region by the Council of Europe. The oldest gold jewelry in the world, belonging to the Varna culture, was discovered in the Varna Necropolis and dates to 4200-4600 BC.
Istanbul, historically known as Byzantium and Constantinople is the largest city in Turkey and 5th largest city proper in the world with a population of 13 million, also making it the largest metropolitan city proper in Europe and the second largest metropolitan area in Europe by population. Istanbul is also a megacity, as well as the cultural, economic, and financial centre of Turkey. The city covers 39 districts of the Istanbul province. It is located on the Bosphorus Strait and encompasses the natural harbour known as the Golden Horn, in the northwest of the country. It extends both on the European Thrace and on the Asian Anatolia sides of the Bosphorus, and is thereby the only metropolis in the world that is situated on two continents. Istanbul is a designated alpha world city.
Barcelona – Spain's enchanting capital, second largest and most populous city. It is a huge city that vibrates with life, and there's certainly not another city in the country to touch it for its sheer style, looks or energy. It is one of the world's leading tourist, economic, trade fair and cultural centers, and its influence in commerce, education, entertainment, media, fashion, science, and the arts all contribute to its status as one of the world's major global cities. Barcelona is home to masterpieces of many great architects – the most famous of which is Antoni Gaudí.
Athens is the capital and largest city of Greece. Athens dominates the Attica periphery and it is one of the world's oldest cities, as its recorded history spans around 3,400 years. The city is widely referred to as the cradle of Western civilization and the birthplace of democracy, largely because of its cultural and political impact on the European continent and in particular the Romans. In modern times, Athens is a large cosmopolitan metropolis and central to economic, financial, industrial, maritime, political and cultural life in Greece. Its compact downtown, north of campus, is alive with clubs, bars, restaurants, galleries and – of course – record stores; Broad Street in particular is lined with arty shops.
Kuşadası is a coastal resort town in the Aydin Province of Aegean Turkey. It has become a popular holiday resort, especially for visitors from Northern and Western Europe. It has about 50,000 residents, although that grows significantly during the high season from May to October. The lovely city caters to tourists, growing to over half a million during the high season, when the large resort fills with tourists (from Turkey itself, northern Europe and the Balkans) plus the hotel staff, bar staff, construction workers, and drivers who are needed to work in the restaurants servicing all these visitors. The hills behind Kuşadasi are built up with big hotels and blocks of holiday flats.
Patmos, Netherlands
Lipari is the largest of the Aeolian Islands in the Tyrrhenian Sea off the northern coast of Sicily, southern Italy; it is also the name of the island's main town. Being the largest of a chain of islands in a volcanic archipelago situated in between Vesuvius and Etna, Lipari welcomes you with distinctive pastel-color houses and is ideal for trekking.

* ''ALMOST FAMOUS'' The director Cameron Crowe's first film since ''Jerry Maguire'' is the semiautobiographical story, set in 1973, of his days as a fledgling rock journalist. Against the wishes of his stern mother (Frances McDormand), the chipper, downy-cheeked hero (Patrick Fugit, a newcomer) goes on the road with Stillwater, a fictional Detroit rock band, to chronicle its drug trips and internal power struggles for Rolling Stone. Kate Hudson is an incandescent groupie named Penny Lane, and Billy Crudup plays Stillwater's charismatic guitarist. Compared with Oliver Stone's frenzied Dionysian visions of the rock world, Mr. Crowe's 70's rock memories may be tender, rose-colored and unabashedly nostalgic. Opens Wednesday.

''Pollock,'' Ed Harris's biography of Jackson Pollock, is the official centerpiece. This year's festival has an unusual number of selections by Asian filmmakers, including (in addition to ''Crouching Tiger'') Takeshi Kitano's ''Brother'' (Japan), Im Kwon-Taek's ''Chunhyang'' (South Korea), Shinji Aoyama's ''Eureka'' (Japan), Nagisa Oshima's ''Gohatto'' (Japan), Wong Kar-wai's ''In the Mood for Love'' (Hong Kong), Jia Zhangke's ''Platform'' (China-Japan) and Edward Yang's ''Yi Yi'' (Taiwan).

* ''DANCER IN THE DARK'' Lars von Trier's controversial ''musical,'' with songs by the Icelandic pop singer Bjork (who also stars), won two top awards at the Cannes Film Festival but was reviled by more than one American critic. The movie, which opens the New York Film Festival, could turn out to be the ''The Rite of Spring'' of film musicals by dividing audiences into cheering and booing sections. Set in rural America in 1964, it is the Danish director's third film in which the leading character is martyred. Bjork plays a Czech expatriate factory worker who is going blind and dreams of playing Maria von Trapp in a local production of ''The Sound of Music.'' The highly choreographed song and dance numbers, with locations as different as a railroad station and a courtroom, are her childlike fantasies. Iconoclastic, to say the least. Sept. 23.

With Mr. Guest, Catherine O'Hara, Eugene Levy, Fred Willard and Parker Posey. Sept. 29.
''BROKEN HEARTS CLUB: A ROMANTIC COMEDY'' The personal struggles of a group of gay men in West Hollywood, lightly done. With Timothy Olyphant and Dean Cain. Sept. 29.

They skid downhill into despair and delusions. Oct. 6. A related article is on Page 68.
