Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) occurs when the
bacteria are resistant to at least isoniazid and rifampin. This means that
these medicines are unable to kill the bacteria. The reasons
antibiotic resistance occurs include:
People who have resistant disease are at increased risk
for dying of TB, especially if they also are infected with the
human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). People who are at
highest risk for developing multidrug-resistant TB are those who:
To reduce the problem of drug resistance, doctors now use the
following guidelines to treat all people who have resistant TB:1
A rare type of MDR-TB is called extensively drug-resistant
tuberculosis (XDR-TB). This type of TB is resistant to isoniazid, rifampin, and
several other medicines used to treat TB.

GREENSBORO, N.C. – Devan Sproles made three interceptions, Matt Turchin made three field goals and Kyle Boden threw two touchdowns in Emory & Henry College's 30-6 Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) football win at Guilford College Saturday.
The Wasps (5-5, 2-4 ODAC) made four interceptions in the season finale for both teams, including two that led to touchdowns. Anthony Jones picked off a Zac Halbert pass at his own five-yard line, which stopped a potential Guilford (2-8, 1-5 ODAC) scoring opportunity and triggered a nine-play, 84-yard scoring drive. Along the way, Boden completed a 46-yard pass to Adrian Jordan that turned into a 61-yard Wasps' gain after a Guilford personal foul. The play shifted the field and set up Boden's 10-yard scoring strike to Sam Edmonds (6 rec., 63 yards) that opened a 10-0 second-quarter lead.
The Quakers answered with their best drive and pulled to within 10-6 on Halbert's eight-yard touchdown pass to Lawrence Blake. A 51-yard completion to Trey Billian, plus a nine-yard personal foul penalty on Emory & Henry put the Quakers on the Wasps' nine-yard line.
Turchin's second field goal, a 35-yarder, capped an 11-play, 55-yard drive that gave the guests a 13-6 lead that lasted into the fourth quarter.
Joseph Vaughn (6 carries, 46 yards) put the Wasps up 20-6 in the fourth quarter with a 38-yard touchdown run. The one-play scoring drive came after Emory & Henry kept the Quakers pinned inside their own five-yard line. A short punt resulted in excellent field position for the Wasps.
On Guilford's next series, Sproles picked off his third pass of the game. Three plays later Boden hit Jordan from 12 yards out to put the game out of reach.
Turchin, who opened the day's scoring with a 46-yard field goal, set an Emory & Henry season standard with his 11th field goal, a 32-yard boot with 27 seconds left in regulation.
Boden completed 25-of-46 passes for 264 yards to nine different receivers. Preston Jennings was his favorite target with seven catches, which helped the junior set a Wasps' season mark with 71 receptions this season.
Sproles, the ODAC's leading tackler, fell one interception shy of the Emory & Henry record for thefts in a game (4), shared by Steve Munsey (1990) and Thomas Nelson (1996). He finished with nine stops, including one of two Emory & Henry sacks. Jason Hill had a team-high 11 tackles (5 solo) and Michael Young added nine (4 solo).
Guilford's Halbert completed 24-of-53 passes for 246 yards. Ben King made 11 catches for 87 yards in his final contest as a Quaker. Billian finished with three grabs for 85 yards, both career highs. Robert Smith made a game-high 13 tackles on defense.

Texas is usually portrayed on the movie screen as a very large state made up of wide open spaces, but the reality is that Texas is home to sixty three million acres of forest land, and forestry is a huge industry in our state.
"Most people know us. They know us because of the wild fires, especially this year with the drought, and with the wild fires we've had but we're tied to agriculture in a very real way because of the timber industry in Texas and it's a huge industry. It's like twenty three billion dollar total impact of forestry across this economy of Texas."
Tom Boggus is the director of the Texas Forest Service.
"That's one hundred seventeen thousand jobs, primarily in east Texas, but you think about forestry, it's not just the logger and the saw mill. You go to cabinet making, you go to pellet mills and bio mass industry, energy industry so there are a lot of facets to forestry."
Urban forestry is a big part of the forest industry.
"You go up anywhere on any multi-story building in the Brazos Valley, especially in Bryan College Station, you're going to see a canopy of trees, and you go to Austin, you're going to see a canopy of trees, and so urban forestry where most of our folks live is real important and that's a really good way to tie urbanites back to agriculture."
Most of the clean water in the United States comes off forested water sheds.
"Texas is no different. There's a lot of water purification, clean air, people always talk about how trees and forests help purify the air and give us oxygen. So things like that are important to folks in their daily lives."
Cellulose is used for fiber to make clothes.
"Well that comes from trees. You think about the fruits and nuts, the things that we eat in agriculture come from the forest. Apples, pecans in Texas, it's a big deal. Those are trees, those aren't bushes."
And yes, as Texas' top forester, Boggus is a tree advocate.
"Like I said, trees are the answer, what's your question?"

LOS ANGELES, Fri Apr 20, 2012 – Rich Ross has stepped down as chairman of Walt Disney Co's. movie studio after a less than three-year run that included the release of "John Carter," one of the biggest flops in recent Hollywood history.
Ross, named to the job in October 2009, was never able to duplicate the success he enjoyed as president of the Disney Channel, where he was credited with creating monster franchises that included "High School Musical" and "Hannah Montana."
"I no longer believe that the Chairman role is the right professional fit for me," Ross told his staff in an e-mail.
Disney will not immediately name a new head for its studio, a source familiar with the matter said.
In a statement, Disney CEO Bob Iger said: "For more than a decade, Rich Ross' creative instincts, business acumen and personal integrity have driven results in key businesses for Disney. … I appreciate his countless contributions throughout his entire career at Disney and expect he will have tremendous success in whatever he chooses to do next."
As the company's studio chief, Ross approved production of "John Carter," an expensive science-fiction epic whose development started years earlier. The film's costs eventually ballooned to more than $250 million.
Disney said in March it expected the film to lose about $200 million and to saddle its studio with $80 million to $120 million in operating losses.

How to Win a Bidding War
We offer advice on how to get a fair price—without being outbid at every turn.
It's turning out to be a rough year for home buyers. The inventory of properties for sale is low, prices are rising, and mortgage rates have spiked. And now the summer sales season is drawing to a close.
Houses aren't likely to get any cheaper during the second half of the year. But there are signs that the frenzied pace of sales that has given sellers the upper hand during the spring and early summer is settling down, helping buyers who have done their homework and are ready to pounce....

Part 2.
I realize that it has been weeks and quite possibly longer since I've posted something savory. 'Tis the Season! But don't worry mom, I have been eating my vegetables – it's just so fun to talk about sugar.
That changes today. Sort of. There is still sugar in the recipe but there is also an ingredient that you may be unfamiliar with – fennel pollen.
Thanks to the lovely Jennifer Perillo from "In Jennie's Kitchen", I was gifted a generous supply of this sweet spice.
Peggy Knickbocker wrote, in an article for Saveur, "If angels sprinkled a spice from their wings, this would be it." I couldn't agree more. Anything that resembles fennel in its sweet anise flavor is a winner in my book but fennel pollen goes above and beyond anise. It's as if it takes all that is good with that subtley sweet licorice essence and makes it a thousand times better. The aroma is floral and intoxicating. One smell and I suddenly wish I was a bee so I could cover myself in it. I guess I don't have to be a bee to do that but it would be quite expensive as fennel pollen is nearly as costly as saffron.
The recipe for these fennel pollen cookies is nearly the same as yesterday's chocolate chip shortbread with a touch more salt and minus the vanilla. I served them with a tart and sweet onion jam and a smokey blue cheese from Rogue River Creamery and let me just tell you the angels were singing. In one bite I tasted sweet, salty, smokey and a soft vinegar bite. The finishing taste was the fennel pollen as it lingered on my tongue, hanging there for a bit – I begged it not to go but once it did I popped another one in my mouth.
If time allows I hope to give all those I love dearly a little jar of onion jam and package of the fennel pollen shortbread. They will be happy.
Continue along for the recipes.
Onion Jam
adapted from Food & Wine
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 medium sweet onions, julienned
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup dry red wine
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
1/3 cup grenadine
Melt the butter in a medium skillet. Add the onions and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until soft and just translucent, about 8 minutes. Add the sugar, wine, vinegar, grenadine and a pinch of salt. Cook over low heat, stirring, until the liquid thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 35 minutes. Transfer the onion jam to a bowl and let cool.
Note: I doubled the recipe and it worked beautifully. The cooking time was 45 minutes to 1hour.
Fennel Pollen Shortbread
Wild Fennel Pollen can be ordered online. Besides shortbread, fennel pollen, makes an incredible rub on lamb and pork. Sprinkle on salads or roasted vegetables to give an intriguing floral-anise flavor.
adapted from Ina Garten
3/4 pound butter, softened
1 cup sugar
3 1/2 cups flour
1 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon fennel pollen, plus more for rolling
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
In the bowl of an electric mixer with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter and 1 cup of sugar until they are just combined. Add the fennel pollen. In a medium bowl, sift together, with a whisk, flour and salt; then add them to the butter-and-sugar mixture. Mix on low speed until the dough starts to come together. Roll into a log about 2 inches in diameter. Sprinkle a generous amount of fennel pollen to cover the the log. Cover in wax paper or parchment. Chill until firm.
Carefully slice the log into 1/4″ cookies. Place the cookies on an sheet pan covered with parchment. Bake for 11-13 minutes, until the edges begin to brown. Allow to cool to room temperature.

How to Make a Basic Cookie Mix
Friends and family will love this convenient cookie mix as a Christmas gift. This mix makes it so easy to have warm, tasty cookies quickly when the kids come home from school, when neighbors drop in, or when you have a cookie craving.
Basic Cookie Mix
Preparation time: 30 minutes plus packaging
Yield: 4 packets, about 3 2/3 cups each
2-1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 vanilla bean
2 cups packed light brown sugar, free of lumps
7 cups flour
3 teaspoons baking soda
2-1/2 teaspoons salt
20-ounce package butter-flavored vegetable shortening (3 cups)
Place the sugar in a very large bowl. Split the vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape out the seeds. Add to the sugar and work into the sugar to distribute evenly. Fingers are great for this task. Add the brown sugar and combine thoroughly.
Add the flour, baking soda, and salt and combine thoroughly. A wire whisk is great for this task, but no matter what tool you use, make sure that the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Add the shortening and beat on low until very evenly incorporated, about 3 to 4 minutes. The mixture will be crumbly, but all the bits of mixture should be the same size.
Divide the mixture evenly into packages. Copy the preparation label, below, and attach to the package or gift container.
The success of the mix depends on the even distribution of the ingredients. Each package has to have the same quantity of each ingredient in it for the cookies to cook properly, so don't rush the combining steps.
Basic Cookies
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 10 to 11 minutes
Yield: About twenty-eight 2 1/2-inch cookies
1 packet Basic Cookie Mix
1 large egg
5 tablespoons water
Sugar or colored sugar (optional)
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Combine the mix, egg, and water in a medium bowl. Beat on medium with an electric mixer until thoroughly combined.
Drop by tablespoonfuls on ungreased baking sheets. Sprinkle with sugar, if desired. Bake for 10 to 11 minutes, until the edges are golden. Cool on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container.
Add 1 cup chocolate chips and 1 cup chopped nuts. Drop by tablespoonfuls on ungreased baking sheets. Bake for 11 to 12 minutes. This variation makes about 3 dozen 2-1/2-inch cookies.

We all know mathematics is life, this question is for Mankind. It's mathoverflow here when some parts of the world we have mathunderflow! I think we can do something through ideas. A similar question "Good ways to engage in mathematics outreach" has been featured but this is a different question all together.
In this question, am interested in understanding what the so called super countries in mathematics done right utilizing the little resources they have in the promotion(development) of mathematics. How can very young country (mathematics development is wanting, the research output is low, some fundamental courses are not even taught at the first place due to lack of resource persons) move on? What are some of the ideas which have helped countries with a small economy grow? Are there mathematicians who have been involved in development of mathematics in developing/ less developed countries which are experiencing an upward trend? How did you do it?


text: WATERVLIET -- Following a soft-opening over the winter, the Local Flavor Cafe had its official grand opening Friday at their 19th Street location. The family-owned business is a supplier of only New York state products and features local food from area businesses. "We are very grateful to the City of Watervliet for their help in securing a grant, and their subsequent support of our business," said Heidi Flynn, owner of the Local Flavor Cafe. "The community seems ready for something a little fresh and different in the food arena, and we are excited to be able to showcase so many New York state gourmet foods." All shelves in the 620 19th St. business hold products only made in New York, typically by small producers. For example its coffee, tea, milk and sodas are bottled, packaged and roasted in New York state. In addition, the Local Flavor Cafe has been a supporter of Watervliet's farmers market for years, developing and marketing its line of spreads, toppings and baked goods. Some of the featured local businesses include DeFazio's, Goold Orchards, Caroline's Kitchen, and the Peanut Principle. "I'm proud to welcome the Local Flavor Cafe to the community as we continue to foster new opportunities for business in Watervliet," said Mayor, Mike Manning. "The Local Flavor Cafe brings a lot to the city and the rest of the business community by using local products, supporting the economy right here in our own backyard." The City of Watervliet supported the Local Flavor Cafe with $10,000 in assistance through its Local Development Corporation and through a $25,000 Community Development Block Grant obtained through the New York State Office of Homes and Community Renewal's CDBG microenterprise program. The business' hours are 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday. Grand opening festivities, including free samples, continue today.

This is Down On The Street Bonus Edition, where we check out interesting street-parked cars located in places other than the Island That Rust Forgot. Some examples of the British Van Expeditionary Force, courtesy of PCH Poster Child Franzouse!
So to test out my theory I left the camera at home today and went about my day. In the afternoon, while walking to a meeting, what do you know, I come across a beautiful vintage Ford Transit (Mk II I think, the '78 to '86 production run, yes the Ford streak continues!).
Well technically I stumbled upon a beautiful yellow one first, and then, hidden by a moving truck, there was a grey/blue/bondo beater one with a high roof ( a camper top of some kind) that was even cooler, or at least more sinister.
The guys in the moving truck were quite amused by the weird dude in the Corduroy suit, snapping pictures of two old vans with a look of genuine happiness on his face...
I hope you find these two vans as I cool as I did!

Digging through some programming documents on Nvidia's website I was able to find something interesting in one quite old document, regarding programming for GeForce 7 series, but these are still mostly the same issues that bring problems to current games when you try to play them in stereo 3D. I'm citing the part where Nvidia talks about these common issues and suggests workarounds (in terms of programming the game) for them below, because you need to be aware of these in order to be able to avoid most of them by changing settings in the game options etc. If you know what hurts the game looking good in stereo 3D mode you may be able to disable some of the problematic things or lower their negative impact with lets say custom convergence, so that the game will still be playable and look nice. And although these are related to Nvidia's stereoscopic 3D drivers (prior 3D Vision) they do apply to 3D Vision and other alternative solutions that allow you to play a game in stereo 3D mode…
Rendering at an Incorrect Depth
This problem is the number one thing you should take care of. The 3D Stereo Driver uses the depth to create the stereo effect, so anything that is not at the correct depth stands out like a sore thumb when viewed in Stereo.
– Place background images, sky boxes, and sky domes at the farthest possible depth. Otherwise, the world will look like it's in a little box in stereo.
– Place HUD items at their proper 3D depth. If you have name labels that hover over objects, putting them at the 3D depth of the object gives a better stereo effect than putting them on the near plane of the view frustum.
– It's also helpful to render the HUD as far into the scene as possible. This trick gives you a greater perceived depth in the rest of your scene while not causing eyestrain when looking at the HUD.
– Laser sights, crosshairs, and cursors do not look correct unless placed in the 3D world at the depth of the objects they are pointing to. When they aren't, it is almost impossible to use them since the user's eyes are converging on one depth, but the cursor is at another depth; users see two cursors, neither of which point at the correct place.
– Highlighting objects should happen at the depth of the object itself, not in screen space.
Billboard Effects
Billboard effects look flat and bad in regular 3D; they look even worse in stereo. In regular 3D you see the billboards as you move around, but in 3D Stereo the problem immediately pops out at you, even in a static scene. Most billboard effects look extremely flat in stereo, so use real geometry everywhere you can instead, even low resolution geometry looks better. For particle effect billboards (sparks, smoke, dust, etc), these may or may not look ok, the best thing you can do is test your app in stereo to see what it looks like and judge if the quality is good enough, and make sure that the billboards have a meaningful depth in 3D.
Post-Processing and Screen-Space Effects
2D screen-space effects can greatly hurt the stereo effect. Things like blurry glow, bloom filters, image-based motion blur fall into this category. These effects are usually created by rendering the 3D geometry to a texture, then rendering a 2D screen aligned quad to the screen. The geometry in the texture is no longer at the correct depth in the world as the effect should be, thus working poorly in 3D Stereo. You should provide the option to disable these effects for people playing in stereo and render the geometry to the back buffer.
Using 2D Rendering in Your 3D Scene
Any object rendered as 2D doesn't really have a real 3D depth, so it is placed at the monitor depth. This will look very flat in 3D Stereo. If you are mixing 2D and 3D in your HUD you may have inconsistent depths leading to eye strain. Again, render everything at the proper depth, in 3D, and test with stereo on.
Sub-View Rendering
When rendering a sub view to the screen, such as a picture in picture display, car mirror, or small map in the upper corner, you must set the viewport to cover the area before rendering. This trick prevents strange stereo effects bleeding outside of the intended section of the screen.
Updating the Screen with Dirty Rectangles
If you are determining only the parts of the screen that have changed and not updating the rest of the screen this can cause odd looking rendering in 3D stereo. Just render all visible objects each frame.
Resolving Collisions with Too Much Separation
If you are resolving collisions by pushing objects away from each other, make sure you don't push them away too far. It looks bad in normal 3D when moving around but stands out right away in stereo, making things appear to hover above the ground.
Changing Depth Range for Difference Objects in the Scene
Splitting the scene into multiple depth ranges can cause distortions in the stereo effect making some objects look shorter or elongated. All objects should be rendered in a consistent depth range for the best stereo effect.
Not Providing Depth Data with Vertices
When sending vertices for rendering to D3D for software transform and lighting, include the RHW depth information for stereo to function properly.
Rendering in Windowed Mode
NVIDIA's 3D Stereo only works when your application is in full-screen exclusive mode. If you don't support fullscreen mode, then game players can't take advantage of 3D Stereo.
Rendering stencil shadows using a fullscreen shadow color quad will not work properly in stereo. However, re-rendering shadowed objects in the scene at their proper depth in shadow color will function correctly in stereo. Shadow maps function fine, and projection shadows function as long as you are projecting to the proper depth for the shadow.
Manually Writing to Render Targets
Don't lock render targets and do direct writes; doing so bypasses the stereo driver.
Very Dark or High-Contrast Scenes
Very dark scenes can become even darker when using 3D Stereo shutter glasses. Providing a brightness or gamma adjustment will help this problem. Using very bright objects on very bright and very dark objects causes ghosting, which hurts stereo. Testing your game in stereo quickly shows whether or not this is a problem.
Objects with Small Gaps between Vertices
Small gaps in meshes can become much more obvious when rendered in stereo. Make sure your meshes are tight and test in stereo to be sure this isn't happening.

It's been nearly two years since I reviewed the Canon EOS 30D, and in that time the market for mid-range semi-professional digital SLRs has become a lot more crowded. While Canon is still the undisputed worldwide DSLR market leader, it no longer has only Nikon to worry about. The EOS 40D faces some pretty determined competition, so is this upgrade of the popular EOS 30D good enough to hold onto the lead?
Launched in August last year, the 40D is currently selling for around £630 body-only, or around £860 with the EFS 17-85mm lens seen here. By comparison, the new 14.2-megapixel Sony A350 is priced at £499 body-only or £569 with an 18-70mm lens, the 14.6-megapixel Pentax K20D is £769 body-only or £799 with an 18-55mm lens, and the 10-megapixel Olympus E-510 is £398 with a 14-42mm lens. Nikon's 10-megapixel D80 is £489 body only or £645 with an 18-70mm, while the 12-megapixel D300 is £989 body only. At first glance this makes the 40D look a bit over-priced.
While the EOS 30D was only a detail upgrade over the ESO 20D, the EOS 40D is a much more substantial improvement. The most obvious change is the increase from 8.2 to 10.1 megapixel resolution, with Canon's proprietary CMOS sensor getting a thorough overhaul including improved photocell design and on-chip noise reduction, as well as 14-bit processing for better colour depth and dynamic range. When most its immediate competitors are sporting 12 or even 14 megapixel sensors the 40D could be seen as lagging behind in this department, but in reality the gains from a couple of extra megapixels are much less significant than improvements in overall picture quality. It is also possible that Canon don't want to tempt buyers away from the aging but still impressive EOS 5D professional camera, with its 12.8 megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor.
Externally the body is slightly larger and 40g heavier than the 30D, reflecting its more robust construction and improved environmental sealing. The rubber seals over the I/O ports have been upgraded, but there is still no seal around the lens mount, battery hatch or buttons, and the card slot hatch has a simple sliding snap closure rather than the locking mechanism found on most other semi-pro cameras. While the camera isn't as fully weatherproof as some other DSLRs such as the Pentax K20D or Nikon D300, it is certainly tough enough to survive regular professional use. The extra weight doesn't really affect the handling, and does make the camera nice and stable for hand-held use. The shape of the handgrip has also been revised, with an indent for the second finger, and it is now more comfortable and provides a more secure grip.

HARRISONBURG, Va. (AP) Freshman Andre Nation paced James Madison with 14 points and seven rebounds as the Dukes downed Old Dominion 56-46 Saturday in Colonial Athletic Association action.
Nation hit 4 of 9 from the field and 6 of 7 at the foul line for James Madison (11-10, 5-3), which has now won five straight home games.
With the win, the Dukes swept the season series after beating Old Dominion 58-55 on Jan. 2.
Ron Curry added 12 points and Devon Moore 10 for James Madison.
The Dukes' leading scorer, Rayshawn Goins, hit just 2 of 7 from the field en route to four points, tying his season low. The senior is averaging 14.4 points per game this year, but has managed just 7.7 per contest in his last three games.
Keenan Palmore led Old Dominion (2-17, 0-7) with 13 points off the bench. DeShawn Painter had nine points and nine rebounds.

ISU invites contributions to an endowed scholarship fund to honor the memory of Morla Milne whose untimely death at age 33 ended a devoted career in support of the University's Space Studies Program.
This fund is intended to support one or more annual scholarship awards to students in the Space Studies Program. The amount of such awards will be determined each year based on the available proceeds from the endowment.
Donors wishing to support this fund may do so in several different ways:
1. Gifts may be made directly to the endowment fund where they will be held in perpetuity in accordance of the Fund's Agreement of Gift. Only the annual income from such gifts will be expended on scholarships.
2. Gifts may be made in support of current scholarship awards in which case they will be used no later than the next academic year to make scholarship awards and will not increase the endowment.
3. Gifts may be pledged over several years. Such gifts whether to the endowment or to support current scholarship awards will permit us to plan on the amount of scholarship assistance available to honor Morla's memory.
4. One creative option combines all of the above and invites donors of $1,000 or more to join the 50-50 Club in Morla's memory. Here a pledge of at least $1,000 over 5 years would result in 5 annual payment of $200, half of which would be placed in the Morla Milne Memorial Scholarship endowment and half of which would be awarded in current scholarships.
Whatever your choice may be, please help us to honor Morla's memory by making a generous gift to this fund. If you are already a donor to our Annual Scholarship Appeal, please consider your gift to Morla's fund as an effort over and above your usual generosity.

Public Health Officials Encourage Missourians to Get Vaccinated
The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services wants you to know the flu vaccine is your best defense against the flu.
"The best way to fight the flu is to prevent it and people need to know it is not too late to protect themselves and their families by getting the vaccine." said Margaret Donnelly, director of the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services.
The State Public Health Laboratory has confirmed the first case of seasonal flu in the state. The positive specimen came from Madison County.
"The timing of this case comes while we are observing National Influenza Vaccination Week. This just emphasizes the importance that people to get their flu shot," said Donnelly.
The flu vaccine is available at many locations throughout the state. Log onto MO.gov to access the state's new flu vaccine locator and find a clinic near you.
This year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that everyone 6 months of age and older should get a flu shot. We encourage you to get the vaccine as soon as it is available and it is never too late to be vaccinated.
Each year, the vaccine is developed based on the types of flu most likely to spread throughout communities in the coming year. This year's vaccine offers protection against three types of flu viruses, including the H1N1 virus.
In addition to getting a flu shot, other ways to prevent the spread of the flu include:
- Wash your hands frequently with soap and water.
- Cover your coughs and sneezes with a tissue or the inside of your elbow - not your bare hand.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth.
- Stay home when you are sick, especially if you have a fever. Remain at home until 24 hours after your fever is gone without the use of fever-reducing medicine.
More information about the preventing the flu can be found at www.dhss.mo.gov.

You can get it here... www.proactivegenetics.com
I started reading the results to Matt : We are pleased to report to you the results of the twin zygosity test that you requested. Analysis of the DNA indicates that Micah John Marteney and Mason Russell Marteney are... as my eyes read ahead of what my mouth was saying it literally fell open.
monozygotic, or more commonly referred to as IDENTICAL TWINS.
I could not believe what I was reading. I know this sounds crazy like it shouldn't really matter, but I was shaken. Somehow everything I had thought was wrong. Of course nothing has really changed. They are still 2 very different (and very different looking to me) individuals. But now they are not just 2 siblings who happened to occupy my belly at the same time but TWINS! Yes I know they are twins either way. haha! But the same DNA. 1 egg split into 2 babies inside of me. Wow! So crazy. I started to wonder if somehow it would be different than I had thought when I look forward to what they might be like later in life. Will they start to look more alike? Will they have more of that "twin" connection somehow? Where they know how the other is feeling, or live together and work together, and have the same interests? Or will it be like I pictured with them looking less alike as they grow and having opposite interests but still having a connection because no matter what at some point they shared a space inside of me? No matter what that is pretty special.
Madison's response was kind of funny. She was in the room when I was reading it to Matt. She said, "No, I thought they were normal. They are different Mom! Micah has a circle face and Mason has an oval face. " haha! To her she never had any idea that they could be the same as twins like most people think. I had to explain that they are still different.
Overall it is just kind of surreal. I am going back through their newborn pictures looking at them kind of differently than before I guess. I can still tell them apart. Now I find myself looking more for the similarities than the differences though.
I am a mom to identical twin boys. I love them and cannot wait to see what God has in store for each of them.

Ten Budget Halloween Decorating Ideas
Halloween decorations can look fabulous, even if you're on a budget. Create a stunning Halloween display with these money-saving decorating tips, whether you're using only a few intricately carved jack-o'-lanterns or going all out by making your home into a creepy castle:
Lighted labyrinth: Turn on some spooky music and turn out the lights! Make your room a labyrinth by gathering candles of every shape, size, and color and placing them all in one room. (Take care to protect your surfaces from any wax that may ooze its way down.)
For a different but just as eerie effect, place lighted candles on a path leading visitors or guests from one room to the next.
Lonesome luminarias: Use plain paper lunch bags to make luminarias. Write haunted words like "Boo!" and "Scream!" with a black marker on them. Stamp them with Halloween stamps. Add sand in the bottom of them and place a votive candle in them for an eerie welcome into your home. Battery-operated votives work great!
Haunted home: Throw sheets over all your furniture as if you've left for the season. Remove a few furniture pieces from the room to give a really "moved-out" effect. Sprinkle a light dusting of talcum powder, baking soda, or cornstarch on shelves, mantles, or other surfaces to give an accumulated dusty look.
Floating ghosts: Blow up a balloon and drape a sheet over it. If you place the tied end of the balloon at the top, you can insert a safety pin through the sheet and the tied end of the balloon to suspend the ghost from the ceiling.
Stacked pumpkins: Grab a garden urn or flowerpot and stack two or three pumpkins, one on top of the other, to make a pumpkin topiary. Cut off stems and hot glue them together for added security so that they don't topple.
Novelty stores and party supply supercenters are great resources for inexpensive decorating ideas. You can buy just about anything from fake eyeballs to glowing skulls, and a lot of them for less than $10.
Lab specimens: Put a few drops of green food coloring in a jar of water. Float a novelty item such as a fake eyeball or pack it with a rubber bat for a great gross-out effect and place this eye-catcher around a light source.
Tombstones: Carve large sheets of Styrofoam into gravestone shapes, press the edges of the Styrofoam with your fingers to make them look like hewn stone. Spray paint with a faux stone finish or simply use gray spray paint. Use a black marker to write on the front of it.
Hang your tombstone on a door, or to stake it in the ground, by inserting long dowel rods through the bottom of the gravestone leaving at least six to eight inches of dowel rod showing for staking into the ground. Remove the dowel rods from the tombstone, insert them into the ground, and then reinsert the tombstone onto the dowels.
Spooky silhouettes: Draw or trace outlines of werewolves, bats, witches, and monsters on black poster board. Using a piece of chalk is best, so that you can easily see the lines. Cut around each shape and wipe away any chalk residue. Tape these to your windows. These spooky silhouettes transform your home into haunted house just by turning on all the lights in your rooms.
Webs: Hang fake spider webs and plastic spiders to spook up a hall, corner, or chandelier.
Black lights or spotlights: A black light makes all things white, including teeth, glow. Place one in a small room or near a window. If you're answering the door for trick-or-treaters, make sure to have one close by as your only light source.
Spotlights, bought at any home improvement store in the lighting section, can be placed under plants, fake cobwebs, and other props to cast shadows on the ceiling.
Check your favorite Halloween supply stores the weekend before Halloween. Many stores deeply discount these seasonal items as much as 90 percent to make way for all the Christmas merchandise coming.

At last! A REAL use for NFC: Bonking butler bots and oven-puters
Control fridges, speakers, TVs, servers from a pocket-stroker fondle
CES 2013 Upstart wireless data-transfer tech NFC is finally coming to some interesting devices. Not smartphones or shopping tills but TVs, speakers, washing machines and fridges, thanks to LG and Sony.
LG announced this week at the CES tech extravaganza an NFC-equipped oven, fridge and robot vacuum-cleaner as part of its "Smart Thinq" range. Sony is pushing NFC into its Brava TVs, assorted speakers and a 1TB network server, enabling instant pairing with Xperia phones as well as opening the way for the truly connected home we've been promised for so long.
NFC - Near-Field Communications - is, to be blunt, slow radio communications over very short ranges, triggered when two devices are within proximity. One could bonk an NFC-capable mobe against a till to make a payment, for example, and all the necessary details are swapped over the air by radio.
Now the tech has moved on to allowing speakers to pair with music players and TVs to be instructed by another NFC device. To realise the potential one needs NFC in every electronic device and that's been very slow to happen.
Most of our credit cards have NFC chips embedded these days, and a handful of smartphones, but the focus has been on pay-by-bonk - authorising transactions by tapping or waving the card or phone over the till - not because that's technically easy but because it has the most obvious revenue stream to recoup the cost of the hardware.
But once NFC is established a number of options open up. The most basic is tapping a phone against a speaker or TV to route audio and/or video to that device; the actual media is routed over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, which are faster, and only the handshake is done over NFC. LG suggests a phone tapped against a cleaning robot can become the remote control for that droid, while a phone tapped against the fridge can present recipe suggestions based on what's in the appliance.
That depends on the contents being logged of course, which has always been the downfall in such innovations, but LG reckons barcode-reading software on a smartphone (aka an app that uses the built-in camera) makes that a lot easier until all the edible products have NFC-capable labels, and with NFC pairing the smartphone can become an extension of the fridge.
Which is what NFC is really about - enabling devices to easily and intuitively use features of other devices. LG's fridge has a screen, which is a disappointment really as the ubiquity of smartphones should make that redundant: it's a pointless replication of capabilities.
That's an accusation frequently aimed at the whole NFC and Internet-of-Things model, but connectivity is coming and once it gets into homes then the interesting innovations can start to happen. With LG and Sony so committed it shouldn't be long. ®

Born and raised in the creative mecca Berlin, Mareike Muller worked her first professional years in advertising and design before she decided to apply for the citizenship of the world, leaving Berlin for Stockholm. Spending some years in fashionable capital of Sweden she continued her voyage via Barcelona to Buenos Aires, where she was living for almost two years, working as an artist agent spreading emerging art with her own agency The Eclectic Tomorrow. But, as stakes are high the search for the perfect place to live and work went on and brought her to vibrant Mexico City, where she´s relocating now continuing to broaden her scope, establishing her vision of spreading emerging art around the globe. When she´s not working, blogging or traveling around the world you'll probably find her vintage clothing treasure hunting or sipping an Old Fashioned fantasizing about being a Mexican luchador's wife and having some unicorns browsing in the backyard.

Giving Thanks for the Boppy… and Other Mom Favorites for the 1st Year
We've scoured the Circle of Moms communities to round up the baby gear you're most thankful for—the essential, can't-live-without baby items that somehow make life as a mom infinitely easier. If you haven't tried one yet, we suggest adding it to the top of your wish list pronto…you'll thank us later!
5 Essential Baby Items
- Sling. By allowing you to carry your baby hands-free, baby slings and wraps easily make the list of baby gear moms are most thankful for. "I love my Moby wrap" raves Kimberly V. "I couldn't function without it." When to use it? All the time says Lisa L.: "With a sling, I had a place to feed my baby (nursing), a place for my baby to take naps, an easy way to carry my baby around and have my hands free, a safe space for my baby to be, to have a vantage point into the world."
- Boppy. This popular U-shaped pillow earns high marks from moms like Amanda C. for its multipurpose capabilities: "I found it so useful for breastfeeding, for keeping baby elevated after feeding when he was a newborn, extra support when my little brother held my son, and when he got older he would sit in it (in case he fell back) to play and sometimes nap in it! I love the boppy!" Amanda's not alone—dozens of moms in conversations on essential baby gear and can't-live-without items listed the beloved Boppy as one of their favorite baby items.
- Bouncy chairs and swings. "I don't know what I would do without my bouncy chair" says Mallory C., and many moms couldn't agree more! Brandy O. says the bouncy chair is a lifesaver, and Tina F. promises it'll save your sanity. In addition to keeping babies entertained, swings can also help babies sleep. Melissa S. remembers, "I was SO grateful to have a baby swing, that's the only way I could get her to sleep for the first 6 weeks."
- Newborn swaddling blankets. While opinions differ on brands, moms seem to agree that swaddling blankets are simply amazing. Renee C. found blankets with Velcro were a godsend, Harriet H. sang the praises for her Aden and Anais blankets, and Esther D. credited the Miracle Blanket with saving her sanity!
- Nursing gear. While every mom finds their own special combination of nursing gear, some items win raves across the board. Many agreed with Bethany B. that Lansinoh nipple cream and nursing pads are a "gift from God" for sore and leaking nipples (Medela creams are popular too). The Hooter Hider nursing covers also get cheers—Karen S. calls it "an absolute essential for nursing" while Kelly M. says she won't leave the house without it! And best pump? While it's not cheap, the Medela Pump In Style was highly recommended by moms in the forums.
Looking for more advice on great baby gear? Got a great tip we missed?
Of course the list doesn't stop here. From Mylicon for gassy babies to baby monitors for watching the little one sleep, we're thankful for dozens of great baby products. Check out Circle of Moms conversations on can't-live-without baby items and must-have baby gear for new moms to find more tips and share your own favorites!

Image Rollovers in Adobe CS5 Dreamweaver
In Adobe Creative Suite 5 (Adobe CS5) Dreamweaver, you can insert image objects, including image placeholders, rollover images (images that change when a viewer rolls the mouse over the image), navigation bars, and Fireworks HTML. You access these image objects by choosing Insert→Image Objects.
1Create the images to be used as the rollover.
You can generate these images in Fireworks, Illustrator, Photoshop, or any other application capable of saving images optimized for the web.
2Place the cursor on the page wherever you want the rollover to appear.
Choose Insert→Image Objects→Rollover Image or click the Rollover Image button in the Insert panel. The Insert Rollover Image dialog box.
3Name the image.
Type an image name without spaces in the Image Name text field. This name is used in the script creating the rollover.
4Click the Browse buttons.
The Browse button is to the right of the Original Image and Rollover Image text fields. Locate the image that you want to appear as a default on the page and the image that appears only when someone hovers the mouse over the image.
5Leave the Preload Rollover Image check box selected.
This option downloads the rollover image when the page is downloaded to avoid delays in rollovers.
6Describe the Image.
Type appropriately descriptive alt text in the Alt text field.
7Complete the When Clicked, Go to URL text field.
This directs Dreamweaver where viewers are directed when they click the rollover image. You can either click the Browse button to locate another page in your site or enter a URL. Note: If you are linking to a different Web site, you need to include the http:// prefix at the beginning of the URL.
If you don't yet have a real link to use for a button or hyperlink, you can enter a pound sign (#) to create a dead link. The link or button appears clickable but doesn't go anywhere when clicked. This option is better than hitting the space bar to create an empty space as a link, as that will display a Page Not Found error when clicked.
8Click OK.
The rollover image is created on the page.
9Preview the Image.
To preview the new rollover image, choose File→Preview in Browser or click the Live View button on the Document toolbar.

I frequently come across words like

Well... I know that's the question arising all over the Internet, but I couldn't find an answer to suit me after googling for quite some time.
I'd like to get a Linux distribution, and start learning using the CLI. I'm looking for a distribution already having GNOME installed, as I'll be using Linux-Command.org as my learning resource, and I'm not very familiar with CLI-based web browsers. I'd mainly like to get to know my way around a UNIX-based system, and then I think I'd like to pick up a CLI-only distribution, and start doing more complex stuff.
I've tried Ubuntu, Fedora Core, OpenSolaris and FreeBSD (the last two aren't linux distros, I know). Ubuntu and FC are fine, they do come with Firefox, but I'm not really sure they're meant for learning purposes. OpenSolaris was OK as well, but I haven't got to play with it enough. FreeBSD 7.2 did not want to install itself on my 13" MacBook Pro, it generated a kernel panic everytime while copying the files to the disk.
So to sum this up, I'm trying to learn Linux, and I'm willing to invest time into this (that is, not giving up when the first problems arise). I also have intermediate knowledge of C++, if it helps, and I'm also using the CLI-vim to write small C++ CLI-based programs, so text editing should be any problem.
And... speaking of Macs, how am I going to be limited if I try to learn how to use UNIX-based systems using the OS X Terminal? It uses bash 3.2, isn't this the same shell as the one found on most of the Linux machines? How does the fact that OS X is based on FreeBSD 4.4, if I'm not mistaking, affect this?
Thanks in advance, and hopefully, I'll have a starting point ASAP.

The researchers found the rate of jockey injuries per thoroughbred start is about a tenth of one percent. The rate of injuries for quarter horse starts is almost twice that.
Peta Hitchens is a post-doctoral candidate at the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine. She says the quarter horses also suffered injuries that were more severe:
"Catastrophic injury or sudden death of the horse was actually reported as the most common cause in both thoroughbred and quarter horse races with about 30 percent in thoroughbred racing and about 44 percent of falls in quarter horse racing."
Hitchens, associate professor Ashley Hill and professor Susan Stover from the J.D. Wheat Veterinary Orthopedic Research Laboratory found a jockey can expect to be involved in a spill once every 318 quarter horse rides compared to one in every 502 thoroughbred rides.
Hitchens says the next step is to find out why:
"The next study we will be conducting will be on the types of horse injuries that caused those jockey falls. For example, were fetlock injuries to the horses or spinal fractures more likely to have caused a jockey fall or injury?"
The current study can be found in the most recent edition of the Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine and was funded by the California Horse Racing Board. Hitchens says she would like future studies to examine risk factors such as jockey experience, horse breeding, and track conditions
