So, Lissanna asks us a question. "If you could change one talent in any of the druid talent trees, what would it be?" Here is my response.
My Perspective:
Before I look at the talents I want to give you a little perspective on how I view this question. First off, I am only looking at the talents and only considering their quality as talents. I am not considering Moonkin performance as a whole. For example, I would say something like "Moonfury is a bad talent because it doesn't buff our DPS enough." I will not say "Moonkin DPS needs to be buffed therefore Moonfury should give 20%." I hope you see the difference. The first quote is a comment on the individual talent. The second is a comment on the build as a whole. (For the record Moonfury is a great talent.)
Second, when Blizzard builds the talent trees, I think their design should agree with three rules:
- Every talent should be useful to someone, but all the talents don't have to be useful to everyone. I am completely fine with some talents being only useful for PvP or to resto druids. As long as informed players see it has some type of value then I am OK with the talent being on my tree.
- Tier advancement should be easy in everyone's main talent tree. Meaning, a balance druid should be able to advance to the top of the balance tree without using talent point on talents seen as useless for their chosen play style. The old TBC Balance tree is the best example of this rule being violated. In the first three tiers you could only spend 13 points in a useful manner for a raiding moonkin. Therefore you had to waste two points on Nature's Grasp, Control of Nature, or Brambles.
- If you're going to put key talents outside of the main talent tree then there should be a clear path for picking them up. Once again, TBC is a good example of this issue. Tier 3 of the Resto tree had Subtlety and Intensity. These were two key talents for a raiding moonkin. Yet, tier 2 of the Resto tree had no valuable talents for a balance druid.
My Thoughts:
If you understand my perspective, you understand why I won't be including some very unpopular talents in my comments. Genesis, for example, is a horrible talent for moonkin, but it is a great talent for resto. Since there is a good alternative to advance up the balance tree I have no problem with Genesis, but there are some situations in the talent trees that violate my rules.
Improved Moonfire: This is my biggest issue with the Druid talent trees. Imp Moonfire was once a good talent but was completely destroyed by the introduction of Glyph of Moonfire. The glyph is a solid one two punch. Since the direct damage portion of the talent reduced by 90% the bonus crit chance has very little impact. On the other side, the 10% increase in damage gets lost in the 75% increase to periodic damage provided by the glyph. The result is a talent that only increases damage by 0.25-0.5% per talent point.
Improved Moonfire has seen a bit of a revival lately with the introduction of Criting DoTs with the 2T9 set bonus, but that will last only for the current gear tier. However, it does give a good indication of how the talent could be fixed. If it allowed your moonfire DoT to crit it would become a viable talent again.
Resto Tier 2: The early resto talents are much better for moonkin then they used to be, but I still don't like the second tier. Tier 3 of the of the Resto tree has Intensity, Omen of Clarity, and Master Shapeshifter. All of them are very good talents for moonkin. Tier 2 of the Resto tree has Naturalist, Subtlety, and Natural Shapeshifter. Naturalist is only good for feral druids. Subtlety has some use for PvP moonkin, but I don't know if it is important. Natural Shapeshifter saves you some mana, but ideally you shouldn't be shifting. On top of that Natual Shapeshifter is a prereq for putting points in Master Shapeshifter.
Blizzard has talked about making shifting a bigger part of how you play a druid, which could make Natural Shapeshifter more important. However, I would correct the problem by removing Natural Shapeshifter as a prereq for Master Shapeshifter. Tier 1 of the Resto Tree is surprisingly good for moonkin. The extra 10% Int from Furor is very nice. Imp MotW is nice both in terms of the better buff and the 2% additional stats. On top of that Nature's Focus is now a really good talent to avoid pushback on Wrath. I would happily take the three points I have invested in Tier 2 of the Resto tree and put them in Tier 1, but I can't due to the prereq on Master Shapeshifter.
Off Topic Comments:
I wanted to make a couple of other comments that aren't related to the subject of the post.
- Haste Valuation: I'm starting to doubt my haste valuation. I think haste rating is better than I'm giving it credit for. The numbers produced by Simcraft rate Crit rating and Haste rating at a very similar level. I need to take a look at my model, but you may not want to avoid Haste as much as I've indicated in the past.
- New Blog: Randomsmo has started a new blog. If you don't know Randomsmo, he is a moonkin that has regularly posted on the official forums and Moonkin Repository. He raids at a fairly high level, and is usually a pretty good source of information. He currently only has 3 posts up but I thought they were fairly interesting. If you would like to check his blog out you can find it here.

The most dominate story right now, is in regards to sexual assault accusations for the Supreme court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
CNN provides a timeline of events that ends on the 17th.
Provides an alternative time line.
The distinction between these two time lines can effect how we view the situation. The first by CNN is from the point of view of the accuser, and is more a time line of her experience then of ours.
So if we put ourselves in her shoes, then we may be more sympathetic to her claims. The second is more a reflection of how the general public experienced this story, and that may make us less sympathetic to her, and more to Kavanaugh. This is how, from the first time line, this doesn't come out of no where, but was building over time. From the second time line, the timing seem purely political. Opponents waiting till the last possible moment to drop an anonymous bombshell accusation to achieve a delay with political hopes of delaying till power changes.
For me, I take the second point of view. The first view is not established fact, it is gossip, these are unsupported allegations with internal problems, and denial from direct witnesses.
Internal problems because her current story, doesn't line up with the evidence she is offering.
From CNN timeline link
Denied by direct (alleged) witnessesOriginally Posted by LINK

I don't subscribe to that, if it did happen I agree that it should be one of those things that comes back to haunt you in life. But we don't know that it happened, and I am not fond of public opinion trails.Originally Posted by LINK
I would say that due to the nature of the whole event, and some of the ridiculous demands, that I am highly disinclined to believe the event actually occurred. One of her demands is that Kavanaugh defend himself before she makes her accusations. Which is patently absurd, and is a move for maximum political damage. The very first thing that rubbed me the wrong way, was that we were supposed to have a negative reaction and stop the whole proceedings based on an ANONYMOUS accusation. That is more absurd then expecting the accused to defend himself before hearing charges. It should be viewed as a major problem that "justice" and "truth" are thought to be perused in this way. This is how kangaroo courts work, and it is really unworthy of the process for placement on the highest court in the land.
One sympathy I have for those who say it doesn't matter, is that I do believe people can redeem themselves. I believe people can change. It certainly doesn't appear that Kavanaugh currently reflects the kind of person that would do that kind of thing. It is horrible, and it is a bad thing, but I was all for Ben Carson, and he admitted to attempting to stab someone. The reason that was powerful story FOR him being qualified, was specifically because he was no longer that person. My point is, its not like we are currently faced with the possibility of appointing a monster to the highest court. (That is making a lot of assumptions we shouldn't make, just giving worst case scenario IMO).
Not very interesting is a story about the lawyers inconsistency.. Debra Kats is the accusers lawyers.. But who really cares about the moral standard of lawyers?

Many states are trying to curb cellphone use while driving, but Florida's not quite there yet, so Nascar driver Brad Keselowski was able to send a few tweets from the cockpit of his car during last night's Daytona 500.
The tweets, which include photos of the aftermath of Juan Pablo Montoya's unfortunate crash, were sent during slow caution laps, or during a two-hour break while the wreckage was being cleared from the track.
In a time when most professional sports leagues have banned tweeting during an event, Nascar is obviously turning a blind eye and unofficially encouraging it in an attempt to boost their social media presence. And if the 100,000 new followers Brad gained during and after the race are any indication, the stunt certainly worked. [Twitter via Yahoo Sports via The Verge]
Update: As many of you have pointed out in the comments, the race was under a red flag and Brad's vehicle was stopped while he snapped this photo. He was not juggling his phone and the steering wheel at the same time, which would have most likely been frowned upon by Nascar.

Washington quarterback Robert Griffin III thinks his team is going to be more united this year — and he hinted in a recent interview that some aspects of the team were divided last year.
"What I think is going to help us most this year is that everybody in that building is going to be for us being successful and for us winning," Griffin told FOXSports.com. "There are no ulterior motives. That will be great. Jay has been phenomenal. [General manager] Bruce Allen has done great job of getting the right guys in that locker room. I tip my hat to them. They have given us everything we need to be successful. We're going to work our butts off for them."
Griffin didn't explicitly say so, but when he says that everybody being for the team's success this year, he sounds like he's implying that not everyone was for the team's success last year. And he may be suggesting that it was head coach Mike Shanahan who wasn't doing everything he could to make the team succeed last year. Griffin has implied before that he wasn't always thrilled with Shanahan, and in praising new head coach Jay Gruden, Griffin hinted again that he welcomed the change at the top.
"Jay played the position of quarterback, so he can see what we're seeing," Griffin said. "He can feel what we feel in the pocket. It's a different coaching philosophy and everyone is enjoying it."
There wasn't much to enjoy in Washington last year. This year, Griffin sounds like he expects that to change.

Not to wax too opinionated here, but there are some teas that Tea Guy's just never gonna come to terms with. If you've been reading my prattle for long enough you know that I'm not too terribly keen on anything that falls into the chai category. Nor am I particularly enamored with Lapsang Souchong (Lebanon Bologna tea) or Earl Grey. But that's okay, because we all like what we like.
If you do like Earl Grey you might just want to go easy on the stuff. At least if there's anything to this report from the Bradenton Herald, which asserts that large doses of bergamot - which is used to flavor Earl Grey - may cause muscle cramps.

Effective July 1, 1993 amendments to the Campus Security Act require that all institutions of higher education have in place campus sexual assault programs established to prevent sex offenses. Institutions must also establish and publish, in their annual security report, procedures to be followed when a sex offense has occurred.
It is a violation of Shoreline Community College regulations to commit a sexual assault (including rape).
In addition to possible civil and criminal charges, any member of the Shoreline Community College community who is found guilty of sexual assault - following appropriate Shoreline Community College judicial proceedings - will be subject to disciplinary procedures (Student Code of Conduct). Termination of employment or dismissal from the college is the maximum penalty Shoreline Community College may impose.

Maybe we've been wrong and you really can teach an old dog new tricks — or if not an old dog, maybe at least an old company. With the release of the G5, Pontiac's newest member of the General's arrow-headed
tribe badge, the marketing and advertising folks over at the RenCen are making a new marketing move no automaker's yet made — they're going online-only. That's right — no cheesy Leo Burnett created tv ads for this badge-engineered addition to the Chief's brand — it's all going online. Although the General refuses to let us know how much is being spent, Mark-Hans Richer, Pontiac's marketing director claims it'll be 60%-70% less than the usual cost of marketing a new vehicle such as the G5 — a cost Ad Age's Jean Halliday pens at...
...about $25 million. Will it work? Who knows — but with a somewhat non-despcript badge-swap job like the G5, why not try and shoot for the moon...although after the problems the brand had with the whole "Google Pontiac" thing, who the hell knows if the execution'll be as spot-on as the idea.

Guide of the month: January 2018
Traveling gives us the opportunity to disconnect from our regular life. You get to forget your problems/issues for a few weeks, it can also help you figure things out that you would not have understood without the distance traveling can give you. We all have crazy schedules, work and a family to take care of, going away alone or with some friends can give you distance and perhaps even make you realize how important these people are for you. Like the saying says: we never know what we have until we lose it.
Another great benefit is the relaxation you get to do. It's nice to live life to its fullest and enjoy a stress free time with yourself. Going on vacation lets us recharge our "batteries" by disconnecting us from our regular life. When we come back we feel invigorated and we are happy to be back in our day to day routine. It's a very good stress remover that has a lot more to give than most people are willing to accept.
Traveling increases our knowledge and widens our perspective. To view new customs, different ways of living is fantastic for the mind. It gives us a new perspective about life and especially our life, it can help us change some of our habits or even create new ones. When I travel I usually make it a point to try new food, some cultures don't have fries in their diet and they are all skinny, others use spices to give taste and not oils or fats. Discovering different values and ways to get by in life is really interesting. You also need to visit exotic new places and discover what this wonderful world has to offer.

Best American/local lacrosse clinic: Many of America's future women's lacrosse stars will look to improve their games by attending prestigious lacrosse camps along the east coast during the summer months. Charlottesville, meanwhile, is blessed to host one of the most unique attractions as the American women's national World Cup team spends a weeklong training camp in Hooville through June 17. The squad is preparing to host the World Cup tournament at the Naval Academy in Annapolis later this month. "This is just a phenomenal chance for young people in the area to have a chance to see some of the best players in the country and in the world," U.S. assistant coach Heather Dow told The Daily Progress as the camp kicked off Friday, June 10. Dow not only works assistant coach on the Cavalier's women's team, but she also works as a teacher at Sutherland Middle School. The squad also exhibits a handful of former UVA standout players from past teams as the ladies prepare to battle nine foreign nations in an attempt to hoist their fifth consecutive World Cup and first on U.S. soil.
Best Summer Employment: UVA's Ryan Zimmerman did not have long to dwell on last week's abrupt elimination from the NCAA tournament. Instead, the third baseman watched anxiously Tuesday, June 7 as his name was announced as the fourth overall pick in the Major League Baseball First Year Player's Draft. It just so happened that the Cavalier star finds a new home that is still considered 'local' territory as he joins the red-hot, first-place Washington Nationals. With three years of college ball complete, Washington interim general manager Jim Bowden noted that Zimmerman had already established himself as "a player on the fast track to the Major Leagues." (AP) If Zimmerman is successful with his original minor league assignment with Washington's AA farm team in Harrisburg, PA, it's expected that he will be called up to join the Nationals before the end of the season. Despite the high expectations, Zimmerman still finds himself caught up in the joy of fulfilling a boyhood dream of playing professional baseball. "It is kind of a weird feeling because you never think it is actually going to happen to you," he says.
Worst State of Reality: Magical seasons finally come to a close in the AA state semifinals for both the Monticello baseball team and Western Albemarle girls' tennis team Friday, June 10. Just a few days earlier, both squads had pulled out dramatic late-game heroics to advance to the state semifinal round, however the Mustangs and Warriors were simply overmatched against two defending AA state championship teams. In Pulaski, the Monticello bats were silenced by Tunstall's flame-throwing senior pitcher (and new UVA baseball signee) Jacob Thompson in an 8-0 loss. Meanwhile at Radford University, after a gutsy effort helped preserve a 3-3 tie through the singles matches, the WAHS ladies eventually faded in doubles play falling to Jamestown 5-3. Finally, in Newport News, the dynamic Albemarle tennis senior doubles duo of (Northwest Region singles champion) Ester Kaplan and Laura Brashear is eliminated in the state quarterfinals.
Hottest team in baseball: The Washington Nationals (35-26) still refuse to show any signs of that woeful expansion club baseball experts predicted. Instead they continue their sizzling home stand and extend their win-streak to eight games with a 9-3 triumph over the Seattle Mariners Friday, June 10.

How to Transfer Widgets Across Themes
If you're switching to Cele from another theme with a sidebar, you probably already have some widgets configured. Unfortunately, widgets don't transfer across themes in WordPress.
However, there is a trick you can use to save and transfer your widgets by using the Inactive Widgets section.
- Reactivate your old theme
- Visit the Widgets menu (Appearance → Widgets)
- Drag-and-drop each widget from your sidebar into the Inactive Widgets section found at the very bottom left side of the page
- Activate Cele
- Drag-and-drop each widget from the Inactive Widgets section into the Primary Sidebar section
By moving the widgets into the Inactive Widgets section, you can save them with their settings, and still access them once Cele is active.

It was a phenomenon I first became aware of while watching the marvellous, multilayered Hill Street Blues in the early 1980s. Officers Bobby Hill and Andy Renko, the "salt and pepper" squad car duo, would repair their spirits after a tough shift dealing with assorted area villainy by repairing to a bar, where they would drink beer straight from the long-necked bottle.
That style of drinking, of course, was a reflection by the show's writers and producers of authentic working-class US culture. Around the same time, however, doubtless through the medium of American yuppies, who liked to pick up on certain elements of working-class behaviour (eg copying the Mexican workers they saw sticking a slice of lime into the neck of Sol and Corona) in an attempt to look "authentic", drinking beer straight from the bottle spread from working class bars across the US to middle-class bars in New York, Los Angeles and elsewhere. Soon after, yuppie wannabes across the Atlantic in Britain seemed to have copied the habit from the young American financiers they so admired, adding it to their lusts for striped shirts, red braces, Filofaxes and BMWs. Continue reading Look, could you stop drinking craft beer straight from the bottle. Thank you

As Ben Franklin said: In wine there is wisdom, in beer there is freedom, in water there is bacteria.
Scientists have found in clinical studies that if we drink 1 liter of water each day, at the end of the year we would have absorbed more than 1 kilo of Escherichia coli (E. coli) - the same bacteria found in feces. In other words, we have consumed 1 kilo of POOP!
However, we do NOT run that risk when drinking wine & beer (or tequila, rum, whiskey or other liquor) because alcohol has to go through a purification process of boiling, filtering and/or fermenting. So:
Water = Poop
Wine = Health
Therefore, it's better to drink wine and talk stupid, than to drink water and be full of shit!

Finding Flights
Finding Flights
|Military Space A Travel FAQ
|3. Finding Flights
|3.1) Can I fly Space A on flights from other services?
Yes. Most people think of the Air Force, and in particular the Air Mobility Command (AMC) when they think of Space A. Actually, Space A passengers are eligible to travel on any suitable DoD-owned or controlled aircraft and on Coast Guard aircraft as well. Because passenger movement is part of their mission, the Air Force has by far the best system of passenger terminals which provide flight information and process passengers. But even at bases with Air Force passenger terminals, those terminals may not always know about or handle other services' flights. The smart Space A traveler will seek out information about every activity that provides flight information and processes passengers at every base near their origin and destination and then call them directly in order to get the best possible picture of what is available.
3.2) When should I call for flight information?
If you've never traveled on a particular route before, you might want to call the passenger terminal you plan on traveling through a month or so before you plan to travel. At that point they will be able to discuss their typical flight schedules, Space A backlog, any movement forecast they know of for your desired travel period, and how far in advance they will know their schedule. This is also a good time to sign up for a flight, which you can often do by fax. Then call again a day or two before you are ready to travel to see how the schedule is shaping up. Most passenger terminals will have a schedule for the next day's flights, and some will know further in advance. But these schedules are subject to change, and often they change a lot. So once you're ready to travel, you should stay in close touch with the terminal in case something comes up on short notice.
3.3) Where do I get the phone numbers?
The phone numbers can be found in guidebooks, on information sheets provided by the passenger terminals, and through the Space A World Wide Web home page on the Internet (see question 6.3 for the address). Several passenger terminals now have their own World Wide Web pages, and many of them also list phone numbers.

OncoGenex Announces Plans for the Initiation of the Borealis-2 Clinical Trial Evaluating OGX-427 in Combination with Second-Line Therapy for Bladder Cancer
BOTHELL, Wash. and VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Feb. 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- OncoGenex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: OGXI) today announced plans for the initiation of the Borealis-2 clinical trial, an investigator-sponsored, randomized, controlled Phase 2 study evaluating OGX-427 in patients with advanced or metastatic bladder cancer who have disease progression following initial platinum-based chemotherapy treatment. The trial, which is the fourth Phase 2 study of OGX-427 in a genitourinary (GU) cancer, will investigate if combining OGX-427 with docetaxel, a standard option in salvage treatment for metastatic bladder cancer, improves survival compared to docetaxel alone.
"Bladder cancer is often sensitive to chemotherapy in the first-line setting, but, when patients relapse, resistance to chemotherapy is frequent," stated Jonathan Rosenberg MD, Associate Physician, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and one of the primary investigators on the study. "This trial will evaluate the potential of OGX-427 to work synergistically with second- or third-line chemotherapy to overcome treatment resistance and prolong survival in patients with advanced bladder cancer.
"Limited options exist for both the first- and second-line treatment of advanced bladder cancer. Currently, first-line platinum-based chemotherapy regimens result in a median overall survival of approximately 12-15 months. Docetaxel is commonly used in second-line treatment, with a reported median overall survival of approximately six months. Given acquired treatment resistance and these short survival times, there continues to be a high unmet need for additional therapeutic options for this patient population.
OGX-427 is designed to inhibit Heat Shock Protein 27 (HSP27), a cell-survival protein found at elevated levels in many human cancers including prostate, bladder, breast and non-small cell lung cancer. Overexpression of Hsp27 is thought to be an important factor leading to the development of treatment resistance and is associated with negative clinical outcomes in patients with various tumor types.
"The launch of Borealis-2 marks OncoGenex' continued commitment to expanding the OGX-427 clinical development program to better understand treatment resistance in GU cancers," said Scott Cormack, President and Chief Executive Officer of OncoGenex. "Given the growing incidence of bladder cancer due to an aging population, we believe there is an urgent need to identify new strategies to address treatment resistance and potentially improve outcomes in this patient population."
Borealis-2 will be the second randomized, controlled clinical trial of OGX-427 in advanced bladder cancer. The Borealis-1 clinical trial is the OncoGenex-sponsored, randomized, placebo-controlled Phase 2 study designed to evaluate a potential survival benefit, safety and tolerability of combining OGX-427 with gemcitabine and cisplatin in the first-line treatment of patients with advanced bladder cancer. If either Borealis trial shows a survival advantage, OncoGenex plans to initiate conversations with the Food and Drug Administration about the possibility of a Phase 3 study of OGX-427 in bladder cancer as part of the ORCA program.
About Borealis-2
The Borealis-2 clinical trial will randomize approximately 200 patients to receive either OGX-427 plus docetaxel treatment or docetaxel treatment alone. Patients may also continue weekly OGX-427 infusions as maintenance treatment until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity if they complete all 10 planned cycles of docetaxel or are discontinued from docetaxel due to docetaxel toxicity. The primary objective will be overall survival, with secondary objectives evaluating safety, tolerability, tumor response rates and the effect of therapy on Hsp27 levels and circulating tumor cells.Borealis-2 will be conducted at approximately 30 sites in the U.S. and is being sponsored by the Hoosier Oncology Group. Dr. Noah Hahn from the Indiana University Simon Cancer Center, Dr. Toni Choueiri from the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Dr. Jonathan Rosenberg from Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center will serve as the primary investigators on the study.
The "ORCA" (Overcoming Resistance in CAncer) program encompasses the on-going studies of OGX-427 aiming to demonstrate that inhibition of Hsp27 can lead to improved prognosis and treatment outcomes for cancer patients. Phase 2 clinical trials are underway in prostate and bladder cancers, with additional studies expected to initiate this year. For more information on OGX-427 and ORCA, please visit www.oncogenex.com.
OncoGenex is a biopharmaceutical company committed to the development and commercialization of new therapies that address treatment resistance in cancer patients. OncoGenex has a diverse oncology pipeline, with each product candidate having a distinct mechanism of action and representing a unique opportunity for cancer drug development. OncoGenex and Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (NYSE: TEVA) have entered a global collaboration and license agreement to develop and commercialize OncoGenex' lead drug candidate, custirsen. Custirsen is currently in Phase 3 clinical development as a treatment in men with metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer and in patients with advanced, unresectable non-small cell lung cancer. OGX-427 is in Phase 2 clinical development and OGX-225 is currently in pre-clinical development. More information is available at www.OncoGenex.com.

Earlier this year, the UN Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) allocated US$3.5 million to UNICEF and the IOM to carry out sanitation projects to improve people's access to waste disposal. The projects, which were launched in March, helped to upgrade and maintain sewage facilities in more than 120 camps in May. The percentage of camps where open defecation is common has decreased by at least one-third since March.
"CERF funding came at a critical time when our sanitation operations were running dangerously slow," said Herbert Schembri, who coordinates humanitarian work on water and sanitation in Haiti. "Without this allocation, which was facilitated by the excellent coordination between OCHA, agencies and humanitarian NGOs, people would have been at a higher risk of contracting and dying from cholera, particularly during the rainy season."
Many of the camp residents who were displaced by the devastating earthquake in 2010 have now left the camps to live in better housing or return to their homes, which have been repaired. More than 100,000 families are living in transitional shelters; 13,000 families have received help to repair their homes; and another 5,000 have benefitted from housing construction projects. Organizations including the International Organization for Migration (IOM), International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) and the international NGO World Vision have helped about 14,000 families to move out of the camps through subsidized rental housing programmes.
Although the camp population has decreased by 75 per cent since the peak of displacement in July 2010, more than 390,000 Haitians still live in camps. Many of these people face the threat of cholera in areas where sanitation conditions are still very poor.
Government figures show an increase in the average number of new cholera cases from 61 per day during the first three weeks of March to 227 during the same three-week period in June. IFRC recently warned that cholera could turn into a major emergency in the next few months unless resources are provided to prevent and treat the outbreak.
The cholera epidemic has claimed more than 7,000 lives and affected over half a million people since it began in October 2010. Health partners continue to support Government efforts to contain and fight the disease by administering oral dehydration salts to the sick, distributing water chlorination products and disinfecting areas affected by the outbreak. But funding for these vital health, water and sanitation services remain low.
The 2012 humanitarian appeal for Haiti is the least funded in the world. Only 19 per cent of the required US$230 million has been received so far to provide live-saving aid and promote recovery efforts.
Life for most Haitians is a constant struggle for clean water. And now that cholera has invaded Haiti, safe drinking water has become Haiti's most urgent public health problem. The disease has killed more than 7,000 people since late 2010.

D-Wade plays chess, not checkers.
The much sought-after free agent, fresh off two meetings with the Bulls, says his decision on where to play is based on what's good for his long-term future.
"At the end of the day your decision goes on what's best for you and your family," Wade said outside Trump Tower in Chicago Saturday morning. "I think that the organizations I've been brought in to meet with are all good organizations. And all can add something to my life, and not just basketball-wise. I understand that if myself and another guy and we have some good players around we'll be good. To me it's about what makes forty years of my life and not just about the next ten."
U.S. & World
For Miami fans, that hopefully refers to the extra $30 million or so Wade could earn with the Heat, as opposed to enjoying proximity to his family in Chicago.
Asked whether the Windy City has a better chance because he grew up here, Wade admitted the city had a certain resonance in his heart.
"I love Chicago ... this is the place where my vision of becoming an NBA player came true," Wade said. "I think a lot of people surprised of it because of certain comments and the way that things have been portrayed in the media," referring to comments he made in May questioning whether the Bulls were loyal to their former players.
"It was one of the first things addressed in the meeting," Wade said. "We've cleared it up, and they totally understand what I was saying. It's over."
Wade said he had a tough decision ahead of him.
"I can't say it's hard to be wanted," Wade said. "It's a good problem to have."

MORROW - The 2nd-ranked Clayton State women's basketball team opened with 13 unanswered points against Georgia Southwestern on Wednesday evening at the Athletics and Fitness Center and cruised to an 83-60 victory.
The Lady Hurricanes missed five shots and committed six turnovers over the opening four minutes of the game. On the other side, the Lakers hit 6 of 7 shots and grabbed a lead they would not relinquish the rest of the night.
GSW pulled to within eight points (16-8) with 12:34 after Jessica Bivins converted a three-point play, but that's as close as the Lady Hurricanes could get.
Clayton State led 40-20 at halftime and opened the second period with a 5-0 run to open its largest lead of the game at 45-20.
Tania Walters paced the Lady 'Canes with 13 points. Kanita Holloway added 11.
Tanisha Woodard scored 23 to lead Clayton State (21-0, 10-0 PBC). Drameka Griggs chipped in 12 points.
For the game, GSW shot 35.8 percent from the floor, while Clayton State connected on 50.7 percent.
The Lakers scored 48 points off GSW turnovers - compared to 16 by the Lady Hurricanes - and held a 52-18 points in the paint advantage.
Southwestern (9-10, 3-7 PBC) finished 1-3 on its four-game road trip and returns to the Storm Dome on Saturday at 5:30 p.m. for Homecoming against Montevallo.

The biggest fan of NBC's new show "Chicago Fire" may be able to bring some of her "little monsters" on board.
Lady Gaga -- whose boyfriend Taylor Kinney plays Lt. Kelly Severide on the show -- tweeted updates throughout the entire pilot episode on Wednesday night, including pictures from a cast party.
Gaga's tweets included entreaties to her fans to watch the show. Whether the tweets will help with ratings remains to be seen, but it probably won't hurt. The pop star has more than 30 million followers.
Gaga's Chicago fans also have reason to root for the show's success. Much of the show is shot in Chicago, which led to several Gaga sightings in the city over the summer.
Chicago Fire airs Wednesdays at 9 p.m. on NBC.

Delivering true value for DOMLEC's Customers
"We are now able to see what is going on", says Jerimie. "From the General Manager down, we have full visibility on the company's handling of its customer cases and our accountability in the process. The improvements came into sharp focus following Tropical Storm Erika severely damaging the country's electricity infrastructure. Sage CRM played a significant role in the capture of cases and dispatching of technicians to restore power. Customers praised the company for its speed in returning power to their homes, "earlier than expected", despite the extent of the damage.
What's next
The team are now working a number of projects including: A Customer Portal, allowing "self-service" for customers to manage their own information; a new roll-out for the Power Generation & Human Resources departments, enabling "first line" reporting of faults. All of which helps Jerimie & the DOMLEC team to provide access to the right information, at the right time, from one platform and keep improving those customer satisfaction levels.

So much for the Raiders being interested in Geno Smith with the third overall pick in the draft.
The reported trade that will send one-game wonder Matt Flynn from Seattle to Oakland means that the Raiders won't be drafting Smith, or presumably any other quarterback.
Unless it's all an elaborate smokescreen.
Flynn's contract carries a base salary of $5.25 million in 2013, $2 million on which is fully guaranteed. In 2014, Flynn is due to make $6.25 million.
While Flynn has limited NFL experience, Raiders G.M. Reggie McKenzie knows what he's getting. McKenzie worked for the Packers during Green Bay's Brett-Favre-barricade draft of 2008. Within weeks after the Packers finagled Favre's retirement by demanding a commitment early in the offseason, Green Bay drafted both Brian Brohm and Flynn.
It's unknown what the Raiders are giving up to get Flynn, but McKenzie declared last year that the team won't be trading draft picks.
For now, it appears they won't be using any draft picks on a quarterback.

On getting out of the tower and experiencing three spiritual gatherings at three very different places: St. Anthony Park United Church of Christ, First Lutheran Church in Brookings, South Dakota, and Como Park Lutheran.
I work in a tower, tucked away in one of the highest, quietest parts of a beautiful campus. It's not quite the Astronomy Tower of Harry Potter's fabled Hogwarts—although the view out the window is lovely. Nor is it Tutor Cornelius' secret tower at the top of Prince Caspian's castle in Narnia—although we share our space with wise teachers!
No, I work in the Contextual Learning suite on the third floor of Northwestern Hall at Luther Seminary, a suite just far enough from the comings and goings of our campus that students often stumble out of the elevator blinking with surprise, amazed to find offices up on the third floor.
From this vantage point, it is a special treat for me when I am able to work face-to-face with our students and congregational partners. Since our October newsletter, I have had the remarkable pleasure of being able to get out of my tower not once, not twice, but three times!
On World Communion Sunday, I visited St. Anthony Park United Church of Christ's Adult Forum, where I spoke about being Christian in a multireligious world. Not long afterward, I traveled to Brookings, South Dakota to attend the installation of a new associate pastor at First Lutheran Church, one of last year's internship sites. (Okay, full disclosure – the pastor was a dear relative of mine, my uncle Steve!) Last but not least, deployed associate Steve McKinley warmly invited me to attend the Twin Cities East Metro's spring cluster meeting, graciously hosted by Pastor Marty Erickson at Como Park Lutheran.
At St. Anthony Park, we talked at length about the power of mutually inspiring relationships, about building connections by doing good, about being cognizant of the historical and cultural meaning of one's words. We talked about youth outreach, racism, social justice, and the rich gifts of the prophetic traditions of Christianity and its sister communities of faith.
At First Lutheran in Brookings, I was impressed by the church's commitment to making Lutheran life fun, engaging, and socially meaningful. The youth area for kids was a large, well-lit space on the main floor, nearby the hip new coffeehouse ministry and recreational gym. The Bible Society's Poverty and Justice Bible was in evidence, and Pastor Steve's installation included a rich message of caring for the poor not as a method of ensuring our own travel up the ladder to heaven, but as a method of respecting the equality and individuality of those who would be our friends and neighbors.
Finally, at Como Park Lutheran, I heard many stories of joy and conflict from our interns and supervisors. Many of the joys were unexpected and transformative; many of the conflicts were tough spiritual and emotional quandaries. But through it all, I received the distinct impression that interns and supervisors were in it together, rejoicing as a pair and muddling forward as a partnership, all while learning how to work and serve their ministries together. Keeping an eye on the clouds while navigating choppy seas is a delicate job, and I was impressed by the commitment and dedication of our interns and supervisors this year.
As we move into a new season of building Cross-Cultural Education programs, placing students on Teaching Congregations and Internship sites, and sending students out to work through CPE for the first time, I am struck by the assets and gifts that surround our office. Every place I visited this month, I met people willing to learn and strive together. At St. Anthony Park, the members of the Adult Forum were anxious to talk about racism, privilege, and building multicultural connections in a healthy, safe, thoughtful way. At Brookings, congregants were excited to welcome new pastoral leaders committed to loving the humanity of the mentally ill, the addicted, or the poor. At the cluster meeting, every intern and supervisor expressed a love for their calling and a willingness to do whatever it takes to honor the pastoral profession.
While our work to build new immersion opportunities, develop new programs, and guide students in their professional growth is difficult, I find myself buoyed up by the relationships I was able to join this month. Thank you to all who hosted me!

The tentative agreement on North Korea's nuclear weapons is a face-saving coup for Chinese diplomacy and should ensure China succeeds in keeping the issue out of the UN Security Council, analysts say.
The six-party process has been a test of China's new international diplomacy and much has been riding on the outcome of a dialogue process it has initiated, hosted and driven.
Failure at the just-concluded fourth round of negotiations to produce concrete results could have made the multinational approach redundant and left China with egg on its face.
Analysts said Beijing was not prepared to let this happen and badgered the US and North Korea to ensure a positive outcome, rescuing the talks from a stalemate to a conclusion cautiously praised by world leaders.
The talks in Beijing ended on Monday with a North Korean pledge to give up its atomic weapons in return for energy and security guarantees.
"Getting a result was crucial as it is such a long-running issue. It was a face-saver for China," said Brian Bridges, an expert on North Asia at Lingnan University in Hong Kong.
"They've put a lot of diplomatic clout into this -- it shows China is a responsible member of the international community. If they had failed to come up with an agreement it would probably have ended the six-party process. It would have reflected poorly on China," he said.
China's state-run media has taken every opportunity to praise Beijing's leadership on the issue, with the official Xinhua news agency saying on Tuesday that the agreement vindicated the six-party process.
"The passing of the statement proved that the six-party talks are an effective way to solve the Korean peninsula's nuclear issue in a peaceful manner," it said in a commentary.
The China Daily said it showed "diplomacy is paying off."
As well as its reputation and its relations with the US, which has pressured China to push its Stalinist neighbor harder to compromise on its nuclear weapons ambitions, China had other issues of concern.
Not least was a threat by the US to take the issue to the UN Security Council and press for sanctions against North Korea if the talks ended in failure.
China fears such a move could ultimately cause the North Korean regime to collapse and unleash turmoil on its borders, potentially opening the door to a flood of refugees seeking to flee an already impoverished country.
David Zweig, a political analyst at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, said this fear would have been nagging China as it harried the US and North Korea to find a deal.
"There's no question that they needed to see something concrete out of the talks," he said.
"The big risk for them was the US threatening to take the issue to the Security Council and seek sanctions. They wanted to avoid that at all costs.
"Sanctions would cause big problems for China. They could live with a nuclear North Korea but not with turmoil on its borders," he said.
Despite coming through with a first common document in four rounds of talks stretching over two years, much of the phrasing was vague and questions on the timing and verification of the dismantling of the North's nuclear weapons went unanswered.
And North Korea's hawkish statement on Tuesday that it would only scrap its nuclear programs after the US provides it with a light water reactor has also raised questions about the document.

FRIDAY, May 20, 2011 (HealthDay News) -- Even healthy seniors with safe driving records and no history of dementia tend to make more potentially dangerous errors, such as forgetting to check a blind spot, according to a new study.
This suggests that driving performance declines with normal aging and more mistakes crop up, putting the elderly at risk of automobile crashes, said the Australian researchers, who suggested additional training in related cognitive skills for older drivers.
That suggestion, however, will likely be controversial.
"It's really hard to re-train the brain," said Renee Pekmezaris, vice president for community and health services in the Research Department of Population Health at North Shore Long Island Jewish Health System in New York.
Other studies show that cognitive re-training does not reduce older people's driving crashes, said Pekmezaris. "I'm not as hopeful as the study authors about that," she said. "But there are other things we can do."
The study appeared online May 16 in Neuropsychology, a journal of the American Psychological Association.
In the study, researchers examined the driving habits of 266 healthy drivers ranging in age from 70 to 88 who lived independently and drove at least once a week. Besides completing questionnaires about their health and driving history, the elders took tests on various driving skills such as discrimination, reaction time and the ability to stay focused amid distractions or adapt to changing conditions.
During the 12-mile road test, a professional instructor with access to a brake rode in the car. An occupational therapist sat in the back seat and scored the drivers for skills such as using signals and mirrors, checking the "blind spot" and problems that included veering, tailgating, inappropriate braking and accelerating.
Overall, 17 percent of the drivers made serious mistakes that required the instructor to grab the steering wheel or apply the brake.
The rate of critical mistakes among drivers aged 85 to 89 (who had an average of almost four critical mistakes) was also four times higher than among those 70 to 74 years old (who had an average of less than one).
The most common error was a failure to check the "blind spot" for other vehicles. Drivers reporting a previous crash on the questionnaire made more errors connected to observation, and scored lower on appropriate braking and acceleration, the study found.
Men and women performed equally well on the tests.
"The results fit well with about 30 years of previous research," said Harvey L. Sterns, a research professor of gerontology at Northeastern Ohio Medical University. Driving ability, in general, declines with age, he said.
But Sterns cautioned that many elderly have no problems handling a car. Some drivers in the oldest age group studied made no errors, he said.
"There are greater differences within age groups than between age groups," said Sterns, also a professor of psychology at the University of Akron in Ohio. "It's hard to know whether [the study is] showing dramatic changes relative to an earlier time."
In the United States, 33 million drivers aged 65 and older were on the roads in 2009, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. On average, 500 elderly adults are injured every day in car accidents, the agency reported.
As the population ages, the issue will increase in significance, said Sterns. Pinpointing cognitive functions that are linked to driving skills is "an important first step," he said, noting some of these functions could be improved with training.
The authors said their findings are useful for those designing roads and signs, although they acknowledge their study has limitations. One is that drivers' vision wasn't evaluated.
Pekmezaris said aging drivers might do well to modify their driving habits and take advantage of technological advances.
Older drivers may need to restrict their driving to daylight hours, and make use of anti-glare equipment and onboard anti-collision devices, she said.
"What we really need is to get physicians involved in this," said Pekmezaris. Earlier research found that 89 percent of elderly drivers reported they would stop driving if their doctors recommended it, she said.
