Basking in white sand beaches on Nova Scotia's south shore in Hubbards and Chester before exploring the beautiful historic town of Lunenburg. We also watched the sunset over Peggy's Cove and spent a night in Antigonish before hitting the Canso Causeway in mainland Nova Scotia.
After departing PEI, we were on a new mission to collect a very special antique from a family member in southern Nova Scotia. It was a 150+ year old spinning wheel used by Justin's grandmother and great-grandmother for years to make yarn. We made our way down to Hubbards to see it, but not before grabbing a bite of donair on the outer rings of Halifax. If you're American, you probably don't know what I'm talking about but Halifax donairs are pretty famous and boast a wrap-sandwich-thing like no other – especially in the realm of drunk food. The secret is in the sauce, which has condensed milk in it, giving it a sweet taste as opposed to the usual heavy garlic of a shawarma or gyro. If you're in Halifax, it's practically your duty to at least try one. That being said, they're not my favourite (womp womp woooomp) but at least I did my due diligence as a tourist. Also, do yourself a favour and tie up your hair before eating one – sauce in the hair is inevitable, no matter how proper you are.
Saucy hair in tow, we made our way down to Hubbards, about half an hour outside of Halifax to meet up with Justin's first cousin once removed (we spent way too long studying cousin charts to learn that that's what your dad's first cousin is to you to not use the term). We drove by some pretty gorgeous sandy beaches like Queensland Beach that made us question if we were in Nova Scotia or Florida. Seriously, these beaches were very different than the usual rugged and rocky coastal beaches. Another interesting thing is that although these are ocean beaches, most have a freshwater lake beside them. Pretty cool. Once we got to Hubbards, we disassembled the spinning wheels and realized just how big it was; the wheel itself was about the size of our bed. Luckily we didn't have to transport it all that far.
The East Coast hospitality continued as we spent the evening drinking beers on a private beach while the sun was setting and enjoying the last couple weeks of summer. We woke up the next day and checked out Hubbards' farmers market that was filled with an interesting mix of people of all ages. Although not a place we had ever even heard of, we totally understood why Justin's first cousin once removed (sorry, had to) has spent 20 years there. A small enough town for everyone to know your name but still with unique events going on all the time.
After leaving the market, we drove through more beautiful seaside towns like Chester and Mahone Bay that made us lust over south shore Nova Scotia. Sid, Justin's dad's cousin, took us to Lunenburg, which is a town out of a postcard. It's also a UNESCO World Heritage site and played a big role in Nova Scotia's history. It's now the home to the Bluenose II schooner that was unfortunately out at sea the day we were on the wharf. The town is full of colourful buildings and amazing boats from all over, really similar to the coastal towns of Scandinavia in Sweden and Denmark. We walked around all the hills, popping in and out of cute little shops and eventually having a bowl of chowder while overlooking the ocean. Does life get any better than this?!
After another open-ended goodbye, we set out to Peggy's Cove to see one of Nova Scotia's most iconic sites. Driving along more of the south shore was absolutely breathtaking and made for some pretty spectacular scenery. The views didn't stop when we got up to the lighthouse where the rocks turn into smooth almost white boulders and the land opens up to beautiful, open coastline.
As the sun started to set, we did our best to avoid moose on the road by boogying through Truro and New Glasgow to a gravel pit not far from Antigonish. Here we were close to the causeway to cross onto Cape Breton Island the next morning and do the Cabot Trail. Unfortunately we didn't have time to visit downtown Halifax but seeing how much we enjoyed the south shore, I'm sure we'll be back again.

As it rains continuously, we snuggle up with our hot tea and favorite book and enjoy the downpour. However, this season also brings in unwanted guests – not to share your tea and snacks but to spread all kinds of diseases! Since we also know that chemical insect repellents aren't great for our health or for the earth, here are 5 natural ways to keep bugs away from your home this season. You won't ever go back to chemical bug sprays again!
5 Ways to keep Bugs Away from your Home this Monsoon
Know what bugs love the most? Dirty places! Yes, bugs love bits of food lying around, dirty dishes, uncovered dustbins and stagnant water. So keeping your home spic and span is your first line of defense in keeping bugs away this season. Make sure to wipe up spills and sweep up crumbs as soon as you spot them so you don't give the critters even the slightest chance to find your home attractive!
Use Citronella
Citronella works great to repel many kinds of bugs, especially mosquitoes. There are many ways you can use this magic ingredient, the most common ways being as essential oil in sprays or as candles. For your home, a candle might be an easier option. Just place in a safe spot and light up around evening, which is when the mosquitoes come charging in.
Make DIY Moth Bags
Nearly all of us remember suffering through the obnoxious smells of moth balls to keep pesky moths away. However, you don't need to, when you can make your own natural moth bags. Mix together equal parts of dried lavender and rosemary (or mint) and put them in a little muslin sachet. Hang around your home and in wardrobes or storage boxes. Replace when the scent turns dull.
Use a Lemon Eucalyptus Oil Mixture
This one's especially good for a common monsoon problem – mosquitoes!!! With so many scares regarding dengue, chikungunya and Zika, getting rid of mosquitoes has become an important health concern on a national level. Do your part by making your own mosquito spray with lemon eucalyptus oil, which works much better than DEET sprays. Mix 20-25 drops of the oil with about 60 ml coconut oil in a spray bottle. Shake well before using.
Make a Citrus Pomander
Pomanders look pretty and festive and are also great to repel flies & mosquitoes while making your home smell great! It's very easy to make one yourself – just get a ripe orange or large lemon and stick cloves all over it. Tie a pretty ribbon around it and hang it wherever you like. You can also cut an orange in half and stick cloves into the cut part for a more intense smell.
Come to think of it, none of these ways to keep bugs away from your home are difficult or expensive. All you need is maybe one trip to the store and you can keep your home bug free for the whole season! Since these are natural methods, their effects aren't as deadly as chemical sprays, so you may have to refresh them regularly. But that's a small price to pay when you consider how much you gain in terms of health, money and eco-friendliness!

Congratulations to our old friend Donovan McNabb for having his jersey retired by the Philadelphia Eagles. Donovan worked with us for many years, check this picture (circa 2003) of Donovan with Darren Mougey (presently player personnel at Denver Broncos) when Darren was playing QB for Chapparral High School! Time flies!
Also, "Raymond Babbitt" has his picks completed, we're, just waiting on predicted scores, will post in the next day or two. Last weekend "RayB" was 4 or 4 on winners, 3 for 4 on point spreads, and 4 for 4 on over/under lines. Didn't want to offend anyone, but he did pick Stanford 45 ASU 28 (actual score 42-28). This guy is good!!

An Informal, Nurturing Environment
Why Pemarro?
Substance use disorders are medical conditions, not moral failings. As such, the initial treatment that is required to treat this condition involves addressing the neurobiological effects of substance use.
At Pemarro, our treatment team employs a multidisciplinary approach to achieve the integral detoxification and stabilization phase of the recovery process. This is the first step. We utilize medically assisted treatment under the expert supervision of one of the foremost addiction treatment specialists in the nation, Dr. John Milner, MD. Additionally, our competent, qualified and compassionate team strives to make the experience as comfortable and pleasurable as possible on a picturesque, 12 acre country setting.
Diversity defines the Pemarro Staff. With specialized counseling staff trained in Native American Recovery, Christian Counseling, Pacific Island Cultures, the LGBT Community and Military substance abuse treatment, there is rarely a need we can't meet. All of our staff, including support personnel, are required to be registered as RADT-1 and complete cultural competency and boundaries training, along with CPR and First Aid Certifications.
"Substance use disorders result from changes in the brain that can occur with repeated use of alcohol or drugs. The most severe expression of the disorder, addiction, is associated with changes in the function of brain circuits involved in pleasure (the reward system), learning, stress, decision making, and self-control."
–Dr. Vivek H. Murthy, US Surgeon General
Our Facility
In the tranquil foothills of Ramona, California, our 10 bed coed facility offers a quiet and serene place to rest on 12 acres of land.
Our kitchen is staffed by chefs that are highly sophisticated in the nutritional needs of a recovering mind and body. Home cooked meals are tailored to each of our clients' needs.
Stabilization Through Detoxification
Doctor John Milner, M.D. We utilize medically assisted treatment under the expert supervision of one of the foremost addiction treatment specialists in the nation, "Doc Milner."
Pemarro Has Aided Recovery Since 1984
As originally named, Pemarro Lodge was founded in 1984 and created by three individuals in long term recovery who saw a need for specialized treatment. It was originally modeled after a treatment center in New Jersey known as Alina Lodge. Over the years, Pemarro developed a style of treatment that addressed the needs of people who have had multiple relapses, those with co-occurring disorders, and people for whom chronic pain has resulted in addiction.
Pemarro provided services in a 10-bed intensive residential treatment facility. The program utilized the Relapse Prevention Therapy model developed by Terence Gorski.
The Gorski foundational premise is that relapse is not an event, but rather a process that begins when a person starts to experience certain thoughts, feelings, urges, and actions. These behaviors cause reactions by the environment. The environmental reactions result in exacerbation of the relapse symptoms, and the relapse process continues to progress, ultimately culminating in the use of substances.
In January 2013, Pemarro Recovery Center became licensed to provide short term residential detoxification services. Pemarro recognizes the importance of providing stabilization through detoxification when beginning the process of long term recovery. The program will provide the initial structure for an individual seeking substance use disorder services whether it is intensive outpatient, inpatient, or long term residential.

PLAYGROUND XYZ Make Mobile Ads Great Again with New 'Border Control' Format
Sydney-based creative ad tech company PLAYGROUND XYZ, who use its proprietary platform to author innovative new types of mobile ad formats, today launch a new format called Border Control.
In what they claim is a worldwide first, the ad format builds a 'virtual wall' around the ad, helping advertisers stay clear of certain content.
Said Rob Hall CEO (above) of PLAYGROUND XYZ: "Advertisers and users alike need to protect their interests. We thought building a visual wall around content that may be upsetting or 'non-desirable' would certainly strike a chord with the masses."
The ad scans the page for a range of keywords and then applies a visual technique to cover them up.
The ad is developed in sync with the company's plans to launch in the US.
"Critics will say it's exclusionist but we have to start somewhere. We just wanted a big ad that could make mobile advertising great again," Hall said.

Biology of Pediatric Cancer
At the most basic level, childhood cancer is a perpetual threat, boldly challenging scientists to understand its complexities. Investigators are working to expand the understanding of childhood cancer and to improve strategies for its diagnosis and treatment. Current projects focus on biology and therapy of rhabdomyosarcoma and other childhood tumors, chemotherapy of childhood solid tumors, regulation of alternative pre-mRNA splicing, regulation and function of tumor suppressor genes, and oncolytic viral therapy in pediatric brain tumors.

Latest Findings in Biology of Pediatric Cancer Research
LLL12 Inhibits Tumor Blood Vessel Formation
STAT3 inhibitors have been shown to reduce tumor micro-vessel density in tumors, but haven't been shown to stop the formation of new tumor blood vessels. This study provides the first evidence that the STAT3 inhibitor, LLL12, inhibits tumor blood vessel formation in vitro and in vivo.
Access an abstract of this study: Anti-Angiogenic Activity of a Small Molecule STAT3 Inhibitor LLL12. PLoS One. 2012;7(4):e35513. Epub 2012 Apr 17.
Treatment of Vestibular Schwannoma Cells With ErbB Inhibitors
Recent evidence has implicated increased ErbB family receptor tyrosine kinase signaling in vestibular schwannoma development. This study supports the belief that chemotherapeutic targeting of ErbB3 may be a novel means of inhibiting vestibular schwannoma growth.
Access an abstract of this study: Treatment of Vestibular Schwannoma Cells With ErbB Inhibitors. Otol Neurotol. 2012 Jan 4. [Epub ahead of print]
Muscle Induced to Regenerate May Support Tumor Development
Investigators previously reported that mice with muscular dystrophy develop embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma (eRMS) with a low incidence after 1 year of age and that almost all such tumors contain cancer-associated p53 mutations. These studies further suggest that consideration should be given to the potential of the muscle microenvironment to support tumor development in regenerative therapies for myopathies.
Access an abstract of this study: Induction of a regenerative microenvironment in skeletal muscle is sufficient to induce embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma in p53-deficient mice. J Pathol. 2012 Jan;226(1):40-9. doi: 10.1002/path.2996.
IGF-2 May Reverse Angiogenesis, Its Role in Tumor Progression
Angiogenesis, the growth of new capillary blood vessels in the body, is an important natural process in the body used for healing and reproduction. Disturbed angiogenesis can lead to cancer development. For the first time, this study reveals a role for IGF-1R signaling in angiogenesis and direct activity of SCH717454. IGF-2 overcame these effects. Since many childhood cancers secrete IGF-2, these findings suggest that IGF-2 plays a role in tumor progression.

Michael Seiwerath, the man who made the Northwest Film Forum a one-stop shop for Seattle's cultural life, is leaving his position as executive director.
He'll stay for a couple of transition months, he said, and after that, his future is open.
When the director of a nonprofit announces that he/she is leaving to explore other options, chances are good that the board supplied the boot.
Not in this case. Seiwerath, 35, has worked around the clock for 12 years, starting as a volunteer, for a salary low even by nonprofit arts standards. He has two daughters and a wife. When he says it's personal, I believe him. And when he says his options are open, it's not code. They're open.
"Once you're a professional, you're expected to remain a professional," he said. "If you stop, it's like water draining from the bathtub until you're no longer a professional. I might want to get a crappy half-time job and hang out with the kids more."
Seiwerath was crucial in making NWFF an indispensable resource.
"In this city of highest per capita movie viewership and the biggest film festival in the nation, there was a huge gaping whole in the middle," he said. "The city had no comprehensive film center showing international to local cinema and offering filmmakers a chance to make and learn about film under one roof."
In 2005, Seiwerath won a Stranger Genius Award for cultural leadership.

From 'Prairie' to Freight and Salvage
"I started off with my guitar, singing folk songs," said jazz singer Inga Swearingen. A frequent guest on National Public Radio's Prairie Home Companion show with Garrison Keillor, Swearingen will perform with her jazz band Wednesday, July 22, at Freight and Salvage.
Swearingen, who was born in Sweden, Texas, and grew up in San Luis Obispo, where she still lives, "took choir through school, not one-on-one singing lessons. But my parents and my sister sang. Music was always there."
Trained operatically, "jazz came first." Her high school had a jazz choir and "I had a sense of basic swing and tight jazz harmonies in my ear after high school."
Studying formally with mezzo Jacalyn Kreitzer, "who flies off to do something at the Met, then back to teach 30 kids a week in San Luis Obispo," Swearingen strengthened a voice "that was not big ... when I arrange tunes, I arrange very sparsely. I leave a lot of open space. I know where my voice likes to sit. It's the kind of music I like to hear, too, with lots of space, where you can hear each instrument."
Studying operatic singing, she said, "we both knew I had no intention of becoming an opera or classical singer."
Majoring in music at Cuesta College, Swearingen's jazz choir went in 2003 to the Montreaux Jazz Festival in Switzerland. There she "saw there was a workshop with Swiss singer and ECM recording artist Susanne Abbuehl. She asked for a volunteer; I raised my hand. She had me sing 'Summertime,' put it in five, phrase it all scrunched up, but with the last four measures stretched out, so 'easy'—sounded easy!"
Swearingen continued to write Abbuehl e-mails for two years until she had the money to return to Switzerland, taking private lessons in Lucerne. "She taught me where, under the big umbrella of music, my voice fits in."
Abbuehl had studied North Indian classical singing with Dr. Prabha Atre. "She taught me as Indian teachers do, when they take on a student. We'd cook together, have meals together. Things just bubbled up naturally. I could see how she balanced it all. I patterned my career after hers."
After Switzerland, Swearingen applied to Florida State University, and took her MFA in choral conducting at Tallahassee. "I wanted to study more about music, and have the option to teach."
Meanwhile, Garrison Keillor of "The Prairie Home Companion" came through San Luis Obispo. "The piano player from my jazz band sent in a CD, in case they were considering local talent. Probably having a name like Inga Swearingen got it to the top of the stack."
Speaking of Keillor, she said, "We hit it off right away. He loves improvisation, scat singing ... I think that's what he tries to do, reading a story."
Swearingen's been invited back "13 or 14 times. I got to go to Wolf Trap, Tanglewood, amazing venues," she said. "It was a lot of fun, and very spontaneous. You never know what's going to happen until moments before the show. They try out stuff, then rewrite it at the last minute. It's exciting and scary. I'm exhausted after the show; I don't see how he does it."
Being a frequent guest on National Public Radio "was such an opportunity," she said. "People would write to me; amazing they still take the time. There's no other show like it, combining music with humor. Listeners plan their day around a radio show!"
Still, it's "a slow, steady climb; I spend so much time at it. I have an amazing husband and family. It takes so much energy to get a gig, not being known."
Swearingen has performed in Berkeley before at the JazzSchool, at Jazz Vespers around the bay and with Anton Schwartz at Peralta loft concerts.
She'll be releasing a new CD, First Rain, in October. "There's a clear difference between this and my other two. It's jazz—jazz chords and harmonies—but folk jazz, with guitar, stand-up bass, percussion and my sister's voice in harmony. The two voices together make it more folk."
The new CD will have "a handful of jazz standards, a couple folktunes—a Swedish folk song and John Jacob Niles' 'Black Is The Color Of My True Love's Hair,' and a handful of original tunes."
"I love different genres," Swearingen said. "That was something about school that disenchanted me, the general sense you could only do one thing, and never the twain shall meet. But Bobby McFerrin does it! He jumps across the line all the time. I want to pull from every single genre I've been influenced by, into my sound."
8 p.m. July 22 at Freight and Salvage. $18.50.-$19.50. 548-1761. www.thefreight.org.

J/A and Dr. Elisha Weismann
"Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: 7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. 8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts." Isaiah 55:6-9
There is a clear distinction between the mind of God and the mind of man. The struggle to define the boundaries of accountability and free choice is drawn between definitions of freedom. Free will is the ability to choose A or to not choose A without any compelling force that causes the choice, as opposed to determinism which is the view that God from eternity past has determined all things whatsoever comes to pass. Yet if determinism (viz, compatibilist freedom/soft determinism) is true, and our minds are simply following predetermined responses, then ultimately God is having a universal chess match with Himself.
Free will is important in distinguishing the difference between an infallible creator, and fallible humans. Permitting free will demonstrates that man makes choices that God would not make, and thoughts that God would not think, actions that God would not take. Free will shows that God's thoughts and actions are infinitely superior to humans. By God allowing man to think and act independently without any external or internal compulsion, man proves that he is incapable of making the best and wisest choices. When man is given the choice to decide between A and B, and chooses B where God would have chosen A, man's free will shows that he can not possibly be like God.
Free will proves the sovereignty of God far more than a deterministic system. If God determines that man chooses A, then ultimately man has not actually had the ability to make a decision that is independent from God, and if God controls the response as well as the decision, then there is no way to prove that man is not just as equally as intelligent as God.
In a compatibilist form of free will, compatibilists deny that man has the ability to refrain from choosing A or B, but only the freedom to incline and such inclinations being programmed into the man's will. Thus man is still doing what he wants to do out of the will that he has been programmed with.
Thus, if a computer prints out the letters "ABCDEFG", it does so not because it chooses to but because that is the manner in which the software has been designed to produce the sequence of letters. The computer is in effect printing what it wants to print based on the software that has given it its available options. However, if a glitch is introduced into the system that causes the computer to print "AXYZEFG" can the computer itself be blamed for its production?
The actions of the computer reflect the programming of the software designer. When a computer fails to produce what it was designed to produce, the creator of the software is held accountable because there is no distinction between the results produced by the computer, and the actions of the programmer. Thus ultimately, man who is pre-programmed to act out of a determined inclination can not be responsible or accountable for what he produces because his own actions and inclinations were not the cause or the ultimate origin of the glitches, but that of the programming.
For God to be the cause of man's sinful actions and poor choices, deprives God of the ability to claim that His thoughts are higher than our thoughts because inevitably, our thoughts ARE His thoughts if our thoughts are the result of His determining. Compatibilist freedom is no more than a human philosophical attempt to be God. It turns our frailties into God's attributes by proxy and extension.
Let God be true, and every man a liar (Rom 3:4). Albeit, man can not be said to be a liar if his thoughts and actions are concurrently dictated by that which God determines them to be predisposed to. Ultimately, God would be the cause of the lie, and could not consistently maintain His own truthfulness. The Bible shows an obvious distinction between choice and causation, yet determinism would opine that the 2 are equal:
"Then there shall be a place which the LORD your God shall choose to cause his name to dwell there; thither shall ye bring all that I command you; your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the heave offering of your hand, and all your choice vows which ye vow unto the LORD" Deuteronomy 12:11
Only libertarian free will provides the distinction between God and humans. Only the permissive will of God that allows humans to act independently and autonomously proves that man is a complete failure in comparison to God. God proves nothing of Himself by determining men to fail. There is a way that seems right unto man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. Prov 14:12. We see this concept often in our own families with our children. We often permit children to do things that we don't always approve of, only for them to return later and say "Dad, you were right". If we force them to do precisely what we desire, we can make no distinction between their reasons, will, and choices from ours. Thus we demonstrate that we are wiser than our children by allowing them to freely fail.
The concept of free will and accountability for choices is ingrained not only into our morals but also our governments. In the legal system, duress is a defense against actions that compelled the defendant to act otherwise than he would have chosen to. Likewise those who compel another to commit a crime are charged with conspiracy.The Bible is replete with examples of free will and accountability:
"And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the Lord be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him." 1 Kings 18:21
"But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself." Daniel 1:8
"There is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?" Genesis 39:9
" Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season" Hebrews 11:25
"For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?" Luke 14:28
"Go and say unto David, Thus saith the Lord, I offer thee three things; choose thee one of them, that I may do it unto thee." 2 Samuel 24:12
" And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left." Isaiah 30:21
" But if thine heart turn away, so that thou wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them….I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:" Deut 30:17,19.
Furthermore, the Old Testament is full of moments where God shows anger for rebellion against Him. Isaiah 65:2, 2 Sam 4:21, Exodus 4:14, 2 Kings 13:3, Numbers 12:9, Joshua 7:1-13, 2 Sam 24:1, Isaiah 5:25, Judges 2:14. That fact that God reacts negatively to decisions that are made against His will show that God did not determine their actions. It would be absurd to imply that God is angry over actions that He determined and caused.
" And they built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire unto Molech;which I commanded them not, neither came it into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin." Jeremiah 32:35
"Therefore will I number you to the sword, and ye shall all bow down to the slaughter: because when I called, ye did not answer; when I spake, ye did not hear; but did evil before mine eyes, and did choose that wherein I delighted not." Isaiah 65:12
The fact that the Bible itself proscribes against compelling others to sin and choose to act negatively is telling of the character of God. Mark 9:42, Romans 14:21.
There are clear Biblical and logical reasons to reject any form of determinism and compatibilist freedom. Divine determinism is an affront to the sovereignty of God because it not only makes the human will and mind equal to God and provides no distinction between His thoughts and our thoughts as it only claims to limit capacity but not origin, it fails to prove that God always chooses that which is ultimately the best and wisest choices by eliminating any standard of comparison to that which is autonomously inferior, thus obscuring God's own will as well as turning options themselves into a deity equally rivaling God's omnipotence.
When determinism is compared to Scripture, and reduced to its logical denouement it fails miserably as a legitimate explanation of our relationship to God, our accountability and responsibility for decisions, the very existence of choices, and God's own autonomy and omnipotence. No Christian should ever be a compatibilist. Only free will rightly provides the distinction that demonstrates the holiness and sovereignty of God.

Germany Plans Hydrogen Future
An ambitious plan has been unveiled to help Germany become the world's first state with a network of hydrogen filling stations to allow the whole country to be accessible to fuel-cell powered vehicles.
A report in Scientific American says a joint scheme by carmaker Daimler and the Linde technology group will build 20 new hydrogen filling stations across the country.
Fuel cells represent a different approach to electric powered vehicles away from using batteries. Fuel cells generate electricity in a chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen, which yields only pure water vapor.

Most of us walk around thinking we're capable of greatness, but we're not sure how we're going to fulfil that aspiration. Genius entrepreneurs, industry leaders and inspirational visionaries started on the path to achieving greatness by – defining their values and philosophy. By Knowing Yourself. Great leadership isn't about greatness in a sense of power and fame, but rather in knowing yourself and mastering yourself first.
Ask yourself this: Who am I? Where do I stand in life? Why are these ideas important to me? Are these ideas coherent to my identity? Why am I driven to share them with the world?
The word identity has many meanings. It is a part of us, the very foundation of who we are. It is the finger print of our mind, body and soul, which is ever-learning and ever-evolving. It is the source that constantly tells us what we were meant to do in the world. (READ: Declutter Your Thoughts Into One Big Idea)
The principle of 'GNOTHI SEAUTON' i.e., Know Thyself is universally adopted and placed at the foundation of temples of philosophy. These words originated in Apollo's response to a question Chilon of Sparta asked: What is best for man? The answer, "Know Thyself," is an expression of self-knowledge, where a man of action and not philosophy should know his own strengths, know what he wants, and call us to action.
While it is true, that creative thinking comes from an over-grown problem that needs to be addressed, it also comes from one's identity. As Gerald Sindell, author of Discover Your Genuis points out, the concept of individual identity is often confused with the concept of affiliation. For example, I'm third-generation German-America, I went to UCLA, I come from a family of writers. These are all affiliations. They are associated to us by births or by choice and can tell very little about the personification of ourselves. In a way, it gets in the way of understand who we are. For example, past experiences or unresolved traumas, or religious beliefs you once held, only offer you a clue to your identity. But in reality, it is through your experiences that you can discover who you are as an individual. (READ: Leadership Goals 'Finding Your Purpose')
Knowing yourself is extremely useful when you're advocating an idea – no matter how big or small it is. Knowing who we are helps us check whether our idea/work contributes to what we are trying to do in the world.
To become an influential leader, great leadership demand good management. It acts as a catalyst to exceptional performances of people and teams. It demands that you know yourself and to walk that talk. To get people to believe in your idea/vision, you need to understand your values and principles first. You need to stay true to who you are, why your ideas matter and be absolutely clear on those aspects.
To know yourself:
You need to be aware of your strengths and weakness,
Become aware of how your moods, reactions, and emotions are affecting your state of mind,
Introspect how you interact with others; and
Observe how your surrounding affects you.
When you know who you are, you will see all the hallmarks of your identity as clear expressions of the drive to contribute to the world. You'll know what you stand for and what you believe you're doing. Knowing who you are will give you the necessary tools to guide throughout the innovation process.

It's not often we all get together. After all aside from investigating mysteries, there's little we have in common. Miss Evie Barnum lives in New York City in 1842 and works at her brother's famous American Museum. A far cry from Pepper Martin, a thoroughly modern young woman who works at a historic cemetery in Cleveland and investigates mysteries for the ghosts there. Bea and Laurel . . . well, at least they both live in Ohio. But Laurel is a displaced Hollywood chef and Bea is a best selling horror writer now running (quite contentedly!), a bed and breakfast.
So what do we all have in common?
We're all here to wish you the very best of Season's Readings!
What that means here at Killer Characters is if you leave a comment on today's post, you'll be entered to win some of our adventures. Bea's giving away her latest, "Gone with the Twins," and Laurel has offered a copy of "French Fried."
Two winners! What could be more festive than that?
Leave a comment, and don't forget to include you email. Winner will be announced later this week.
Merry Christmas from all of us, and the happiest and healthiest New Year to you!

Food markets are usually my first destination when I visit a new city. There is so much local knowledge to be learned by just strolling around their stalls that I like to think of them as a strong all-in-one jab of local history, culture, society, architecture, education and gastronomy. That's why I find them so terrifically inspiring.
For anyone sharing my fascination for local food markets, the central food market in Santiago de Compostela will become a superlative revelation. A place so central to the pulse of the Galician capital that it's difficult to make sense of this city without the St. James' way pilgrims or the stalls of this market.
The Mercado de Abastos is placed in the Rúa das Ameas and it has been trading here – in one way or another – for the last 300 years. The first proper building in this site dates from 1873, being the first permanent structure housing all the different city markets of that time. In 1941, the current building was erected to replace the original one and to answer the growing needs of the market.
The mercado as we know it today went through a final remodelling in the year 2000, giving the stalls the aspect we can witness nowadays. Today the market is the second most visited attraction in Santiago and a blast of life, colour, bustle, aromas and all sort of stimuli to the senses.
Come here early in the morning to enjoy the real local atmosphere and catch the best pieces of fish, seafood, meat, fruit or vegetables. Here you'll find yourself amongst a mix of old ladies, local chefs and young foodies.
If you're not a morning person and rather coming for a late brunch or an early glass of Albariño, the market reaches its bustling peak at midday, just before the stalls start looking emptier and the surrounding bars – serving fresh produce from the market – get busier. Several of them will even cook whatever you get in the market, should you want to go real and buy some fresh products.
This is not your average food market. It is a temple to venerate one of the best fresh produce in the continent. A sanctuary to celebrate Galicia and its very rich, very generous food culture. A place that questions whether the pilgrims make it all the way here to see the apostle St. James or to enjoy some of the local food.

Today is the feast of the Annunciation, 'Lady Day'. As I explored last year, the medieval church considered 25 March to be the single most important date in history, at once the beginning and the end of Christ's life on earth: it was the date of the Annunciation, the Crucifixion, the eighth day of Creation, the crossing of the Red Sea, and the sacrifice of Isaac, all profoundly meaningful events in the carefully-crafted divine story of salvation history. Its resonances reached even unto Middle Earth, as Tolkien aligned the downfall of the Ring to this most auspicious of dates. (Read more.)

Massachusetts is debating a bill that would increase the minimum wage from $8 to $11 by 2015,and then peg future increases to inflation.The increase would be a boon to low-income workers and help reinvigorate a stagnant economy.
Critics of minimum wage increases point to the neoliberal consensus ("textbook economics"): if you increase the price of something (in this case labor) demand for that product goes down and you get less employment. In a state of equilibrium and perfect competition, this analysis is absolutely correct, the problem is, the world isn't a textbook. Anyone who has ever worked a minimum wage job knows that markets are not as fluid as economists assume. Let's look at a few "real world" situations.
The most famous study on the minimum wage comes from economists David Card and Alan Krueger, currently chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers. They compared employment at fast food chains in New Jersey and Pennsylvania before and after New Jersey raised its minimum wage from $4.25 to $5.05 an hour. They also compared employment in fast food chains with relatively high wages before the change. Their finding directly contradicts standard assumptions: "Contrary to the central prediction of the textbook model of the minimum wage … we find no evidence that the rise in New Jersey's minimum wage reduced employment at fast-food restaurants in the state."
Paul Krugman, Nobel Laureate and New York Times columnist, writes that the study has "stood up very well to repeated challenges."
Why was the conventional wisdom wrong? First, it may not be: there is some evidence that increasing the minimum wage will increase unemployment, but only slightly. But the biggest reason is that labor markets aren't as fluid as textbooks report them to be. Wages should rise naturally as employers compete for workers, but often there isn't much competition; the "reserve army of unskilled labor" artificially pushes down on wages. Now, there is certainly a point where the minimum wage will start to really press hard on unemployment, but international comparisons (and the experience of other U.S. states) indicate that it's probably not $9.75.
Even if increasing the minimum wage did slightly increase unemployment, it may still be worth the cost: if the gains accruing to those who keep their jobs are greater than the losses to the few who lose them, then we've reached a Pareto efficiency, and the best way to go forward is to implement the policy and compensate those who lose (i.e. slight extension of jobless benefits and a worker retraining program).
The advantages to a higher minimum wage are two-fold. First, it decreases inequality by giving the working poor a leg up. In my state of Connecticut, a recent minimum wage hiked helped pull 250,000 workers from poverty. Keeping the minimum wage adjusted to inflation will help those workers stay above the poverty line in the future.
Second, it can stimulate demand and get the economy moving again. When a worker takes home another $10 a day, they can use that money to buy more food, toys and clothes, or they can use it to pay down debts. If they buy consumer goods that will lead to more employment for people who make and distribute food, toys and clothes, who then in turn spend more money (this is known as the "multiplier effect"). This increases employment and tax revenues. If they spend down their debts, that means future consumption can be higher and they are more financially secure. Aplurality of economists recently polled agree that even given the risks, raising the minimum wage is a good idea. It's worth noting that the guardian of the neoliberal consensus, the Economist, has shifted toward favouring minimum wage hikes, noting that the experience of most developed countries empirically debunk the argument of free-market dogmatists. It's a win-win-win policy.

Ya know. I had this goal. A New Year's Resolution. I had planned to make one surface design pattern per week, but the goal was to concentrate on it weekly. I wasn't supposed to spend, say a Sunday afternoon to catch-up on the weeks missed. Unfortunately, it has been catch-up mode. O well. At least I'm practicing, right?
Here's three repeat patterns. I've been practicing on layers. For example, I made stripes in the background and placed flowers on them. Or the strawberries, I have a polka dot pattern beneath them.
Repeat patterns are quite addicting. I'm realizing as I design quilts, I tend to have a color scheme already in mind and therefore, I'm looking for the right fabric line to fit my vision to make the quilt. Most of the time, I have to tweak my color vision for something available in the marketplace. Perhaps one of these days I'll start printing my surface designs on fabric.
Pressing on,

Educational Media opens the doors for several types of partnerships. As a group, it is important to think about your objectives to determine what are the right types of partners and how to have those partnerships come to life.
The easiest place to partner for a musical group is of course through shows. When scheduling shows, it is important to think about what you are getting out of the performance, ala revenue, exposure, good will, practice time for bigger shows. Revenue can show up in actual contract dollars or in free advertising that the host may do for you. Exposure is a great one to think about - because different audiences may spread word-of-mouth in very different circles. So if you do a outdoor event related to sports vs. an indoor school event, the people listening could overlap in your target audience or complement each other really well. Practice time, let's face it - practice makes perfect. Most times you do a show for lots of reasons and practice/rehearsal for bigger shows is a great way to try out new material and see how the audience reacts. It is relatively safe and helps you work out kinks.
Playing for charity and good will is a great thing to do. There are lots of benefits for both the group and the charity. Hitting back on audience and cross marketing - it is likely that the charity members are a different audience that one typically plays for at a show. So exposure is great - the group will also bring a new membership base to the charity, so it creates a potential group that may donate hours, money or skills to the charity once you market the partnership. It is also great for morale and it is good to show that you as a group care and give back. Sometimes this may mean you play for less revenue, which again can show up in others ways as far as value (ala marketing by the charity, new audience, etc.).
Partners also can provide a great opportunity for cross marketing/promotions. Chances are your partners align with your brand and identity. As an educational group that plays kid's music, you hopefully are not teaming up with a company that does not enhance or support your reputation. Connecting the marketing "dots" between partners is also a great way to add value to your network of partners, it also can deliver results in a very powerful way. Partners that otherwise would not have found each other - may be able to connect because of the one thing they have in common - a group that provides educational media.
In closing, it is critical to have a partnership strategy on paper and to have thought through it before diving in and going after just anyone. Partners can make the journey a lot easier or frankly tougher depending on how easy they are to work with, how helpful they are in supporting your vision as a group too.

Muslims across the world are feasting because Ramadan is over.
Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar and the month of fasting. During Ramadan, Muslims refrain from eating, drinking and sexual relations from dawn until sunset — all for the sake of Allah and to teach Muslims about patience, humility, and spirituality. During the month, Muslims also are suposed to pray more than usual, ask forgiveness for past sins, and try to purify themselves through self-restraint and good deeds.
Alas, the government of the Arabic Islamic country of Algeria in North Africa (the 11th-largest country in the world!) is unclear on the concept. David E. Miller of the Jerusalem Post reports on September 7, 2010:
Police in Algeria have detained ten men for allegedly eating in public in violation of the sanctity of Ramadan.
Police picked up the young men in a restaurant in the province of Bejaya, east of the capital Algiers after neighbors complained of the alleged public desecration of the Islamic faith's ban on eating during daylight in the holy month.
The young men face up to two years in prison for the "crime" if convicted.
Way to go, Algeria! That's the spirit of Ramadan! Indeed, Islam is the Religion of Peace!

Like our other models, the 64PH will have all the latest equipment such as Seatorque, Joystick Maneuvering, and now the Seastar Optimus electric/hydraulic steering system.But this is just a taste of what's available. Give us a call and get the full picture!

Metter – A few weeks ago, I came across something interesting while looking through the FCC database: 700 MHz trunking frequencies licensed to Candler County: 769.10625, 769.80625, 770.60625, and 771.33125 under license WRBT983. Shortly thereafter, I began hearing some Candler County related activity on the SEGARRN system that is used by Bryan, Chatham, Effingham, Glynn, and Liberty counties (and also has a site in Bulloch County). Yesterday I had the opportunity to take a ride up to Metter and check things out. I found that the frequencies licensed under WRBT983 are definitely a SEGARRN site; 771.33125 is the control channel and the site ID is 02C5-0108. Both in the Savannah area and while I was in Metter, I only heard law enforcement related traffic – no fire or EMS related traffic. For that reason, I'm sorry – but I can't post any talkgroups I heard (for those not familiar, I don't post law enforcement related information due to the nature of my employment). Should I start hearing some fire/EMS related traffic I'll definitely pass it on. If you're in the Savannah, Pembroke, Statesboro, or Metter areas, put your trunk tracking scanner in search mode and I'm sure you'll come about them quickly enough.
I wonder if this means we'll see Bulloch County make another try to transition from their old SmartZone system to the SEGARRN at some point in the future? Surely Motorola isn't going to support the older equipment forever and with most of the surrounding agencies on the SEGARRN, it could force their hand.
Food always goes good with radio and I had a great meal at Bevrick's Char House Grille in Metter near where I found a nice shady spot under a lakeside pear tree to monitor the new Candler County SEGARRN site. Bevrick's is a steakhouse type restaurant alongside a lake just off of I-16 Exit 104 in Metter. The prices are pretty good, the view of the lake is good, and the food I had was excellent. I tried the "Junkyard Chicken," which is a grilled chicken breast smothered with cheese, bacon, grilled onions and peppers, jalapenos, and diced tomatoes. There are a number of good restaurants in Metter just off of I-16 including Jomax BBQ and Papa Buck's BBQ and I'd definitely add Bevrick's to that list. Any of the three are good places to stop if you find yourself around Metter and meal time.

I was having blog hopping during my 'demotivated' days, and a few blog I read make me realize that all this while, I already forgot how to have a happy and happening life. What a thing to forget??
I miss those days! Days where I could live happily, freely and careless about life and others, let alone financial and family (that was things that bother me the most). Don't get me wrong, I do care about those things during the old days, but not that until I got headache just because my brother couldn't perform in his study, or when my car got accident or broke down, or when brother keep asking money, although already got PTPTN, and thousand more problem that need to be taken care.
Anyway, the most missing moment was having traveled to wherever and whenever I like. Like those oversea students who travel around during holiday, I did that too.
Hey, who said there's no place to go just because you got study in your own country. It's not like you've already been in all over places in Malaysia. And believe me, although the government putting so much afford to promote all those interesting places to visit, you still missing a few more names of them. Like when people asked you that place, you would probably say, "Huh, never heard that before!".
So, until now, I'd already been visit to all state in Malaysia, either East or West. I mean STATE okay, not places. When I said traveling, I didn't only choose to travel to only those popular places, but it also includes my friends hometown. Some of them live in the city, like KL & Penang, while most of them come from villages and small town, like mine for example. You never know how much different it appear, although it's only 100-200km from your hometown. The place and culture may differ from one to the others.
And I also love to go places that around or near jungle and stream, because I love nature. And it's cold too. Not that cold cold, but yeah I don't like sun too much, like sun at the beach. Weird huh to hear people who come from the island, but hate spending time at the beach? Well, that's me!!
Despite a lot of places that I still don't go yet in Malaysia, I still dream to travel around the world. So far, there's only 2 countries I already went to, which were Singapore & Indonesia. Like people said 'The journey begin with single step', so I start with our neighbors.
Insya-Allah, I pray to God to help me to achieve my dreams, so I can travel to the most wanted place I wanna be. It's in Europe!! Yeayy..

Hi girlies...hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We just got in from our trip back home. I was majorly homesick. I hadn't set foot on Illinois soil since March and the ache for all things familiar was starting to get to me.
I thought I'd take you home with me. This is the road leading to my folks house. It's about now that I start getting excited. The bumps and dips in the road so close to my heart.
The sweet family of horses that we pass. The cute little pony that never gets bigger. These are our friends. We ooh and ahh every time we drive by.
Morning on the prairie. The beautiful sun breaking the dawn. Pure magic:)
Then the unpredictable weather that I remember so well. Every morning was different. We had fog, wind, rain, 70 degree weather. It's a crap shoot. Makes for a pretty picture though.
The fence my dad built. Every member of my family is an artist somehow. My dad welded for years and years. He can bend and build just about anything with metal. My momma makes beautiful church banners. Her medium is fabric.
And finally my home. The place that will always mean the world to me. It was here that I had my first kiss, where my Honey got on one knee and proposed...where I spent nights dreaming about my future and reliving my school days.
I used to spend countless hours on this porch singing and playing with my dolls. Always alone. My brothers were a lot older than me, so I learned to entertain myself well. We didn't have heat upstairs so on winter mornings I would wake with frosty snowy window sills and visible breath. It's those memories that shape me. It's so good to revisit that place...remember those days. I simply love coming home.
Have a blessed day.
*****It was so fun reading through all the things that made you HAPPY. What a great idea that was...ha;) I was constantly checking my Blackberry updating the comments. I hope you had a chance to read some of them too. Is there anything better than a grateful heart!******
Now for the winners...
Congratulations ladies:)

Several months ago, my former junior college, LLCC ag teacher (Dick Lyons), nominated me for a second round of "soil health training". A month later, I received the email saying, "Thank you for applying to participate in the upcoming Advanced Soil Health Training, sponsored by IL Corn Growers, Ag Conservation Solutions, and The Nature Conservancy. We are excited to welcome you to join us this year! Your application showed dedication to advancing soil health systems in Illinois, and we look forward to having your unique expertise and perspective in the group."
Everywhere I turn, "soil health" seems to be the new buzz word. When I arrived to my first classroom experience, I did not know what to expect, but I soon learned that the agenda was packed full of positives of no-till and cover crops for the soil and ecosystem. There is nothing wrong with this, but the training took on what I would call a "sales approach" and with my University Extension background, I was hoping for more of an unbiased training. Our room was filled with instructors from the USDA, NRCS and American Farmland Trust as well as farmers, agronomists, ecologists, biologists, and conservationists. There were video cameras everywhere!
It did not take long until I got this strange feeling in the pit of my stomach. It was the same feeling I got a long time ago when I was in graduate school. I was studying plant pathology (study of plant diseases). Back then, I loved microbiology and my microscope, so I was really excited to take Mycology (study of fungi) with some of the other Crop Science students. A few days into the mycology course, I realized 2 things: our professor was brilliant and the mycology students shunned the crop science students. They labeled us as "fungi killers." I had never really thought of myself as a killer before. Heck, I was just trying to feed the world. But, it did give me a whole new fungal perspective, which was good.
Barry Fisher, NRCS shows us by pouring water (heavy rain event) and letting it infiltrate conventionally tilled soil, it creates cloudy water in the glass on the right. This is erosion or sediment is what can change our landscape. Soil health is the continued capacity of a soil to function as a vital, living ecosystem that sustains plants, animals, and humans.
A positive perspective on cover crops and how they relate to soil health is just what I needed after being called out on many "negative" field calls last year. It is obvious more farmers than ever are trying their hand at cover crops. Many have been successful but others have given up too easily when things don't go their way. The truth of the matter is that not every farmer manages their farm in the same way. Many farmers may not be utilizing cover crops, but are implementing many other different strategies to improve soil health and reduce nutrient loss. So far, I have learned a lot, especially from actual farmers, and continue to keep an open mind. I hope to share with you my thoughts on what I would label as "farmer, pesticide, and nutrient misconceptions" as well as some agronomic red flags. And yes, my hope, after much thought, is that we can meet in the middle.

For Immediate Release
SIDS Not Linked to Number and Variety of Childhood Vaccines
WASHINGTON -- The evidence does not support a causal link between sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) and either the diphtheria, tetanus, and whole-cell pertussis (DTwP) vaccine or exposure to multiple childhood vaccines, says a new report from the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies. Only an older version of a vaccine against diphtheria and pertussis that is no longer administered to infants is causally related to fatal anaphylaxis, a rare and severe inflammatory reaction. These and other findings about childhood vaccines, SIDS, and other types of sudden unexpected death in infancy (SUDI) do not warrant a review of the childhood vaccination schedule, the report concluded.
"Although the timing of infant vaccinations coincides with the period when SIDS is most likely to occur, parents should rest assured that the number and variety of childhood vaccines do not cause SIDS," said Marie McCormick, chair of the committee that wrote the report and professor and chair, department of maternal and child health, Harvard School of Public Health, Boston. "We do not have the data that would definitively answer all questions about links between vaccines and SIDS and other forms of sudden, unexpected death in infancy. However, we believe that the data we do have, along with the increasing rarity of these kinds of infant deaths, make a review of the vaccine schedule unnecessary."
American children routinely receive five vaccines against seven infectious agents before age 1: the DTaP vaccine -- which contains a different form of the pertussis component than DTwP, which it replaced in the United States in 1997 -- and vaccines against
Haemophilus influenzae
type b, hepatitis B (HepB), polio, and pneumococcal bacteria. Although HepB is given to newborns, the others typically are administered at 2 months of age, with additional doses of certain vaccines given at 4 and 6 months.
SUDI encompasses sudden, unexpected deaths in which there may or may not be a clear cause of death. SIDS is the diagnosis most often given for infant deaths that occur without warning and for which no cause is identified. Medical researchers have not reached consensus on the risk factors for SIDS or how it occurs, although current guidelines to place babies on their backs or sides to sleep are based on theories that the prone position may contribute to SIDS. Another possible explanation, the "triple-risk" hypothesis, postulates that SIDS may occur through the interaction of an underlying biological vulnerability, a critical development period, and exposure to an outside trigger. It has been speculated that vaccination may act as such a trigger. Further research could show that there are many causes of SIDS.
Evidence from studies based on human exposure is strong enough to favor rejection of any causal connection between SIDS and multiple doses of different vaccines. In addition, the report reaffirmed previous findings that SIDS is not linked to the older DTwP. Because the currently used DTaP vaccine has fewer side effects than DTwP, the committee found no reason to suspect any link between DTaP and SIDS. However, without sufficient or adequate evidence available, the committee could not definitively reject a link between DTaP and SIDS. Evidence was also insufficient or inadequate to determine whether relationships exist between other individual vaccines and SIDS.
Although some research suggests that an abnormal immune response to common respiratory bacteria or viruses may be a factor in SIDS, there are no studies demonstrating the ability of vaccines to provoke abnormal inflammatory responses of the kinds seen in some SIDS cases. The committee concluded that the ability of vaccines to act as triggers of SIDS is only theoretical. A similar conjecture that fever or other common side effects of vaccination could spur an acute metabolic reaction in babies with an innate metabolic condition is also theoretical.
Although very rare, anaphylaxis from any cause -- such as a food, drug, or environmental allergen -- can lead to sudden, unexpected death. On the basis of a well-documented case of fatal anaphylactic shock in twin babies that occurred after each received a second dose of diphtheria toxoid and whole-cell pertussis vaccine (DwP), the committee concluded that the evidence favors acceptance of a link between this vaccine and infant death due to anaphylaxis. The case occurred in 1946, however, and the committee did not find any other well-documented reports of infant deaths related to anaphylaxis following vaccination, despite the widespread use of childhood vaccines during the 57 years since that case. Moreover, DwP is no longer used in the United States.
While the number and variety of vaccines infants receive is not linked to SIDS, there is not enough evidence to determine whether exposure to multiple different vaccines is causally linked to SUDI in general. Evidence also is not sufficient or adequate to determine if HepB, the only vaccine given to newborns, is linked to neonatal deaths, the report says.
A standard definition of SUDI should be developed, and criteria related to SIDS and SUDI should be consistently applied for research and reporting purposes. Comprehensive postmortem work-ups should be performed on all infants who die suddenly and unexpectedly, the report says.
The number of infant deaths declined between 1990 and 2000, dropping from 9.2 deaths per 1,000 live births to 6.9 per 1,000, the lowest infant mortality rate ever recorded in the United States. Because SUDI are difficult to define, there are no data on the national rate of SUDI in the United States. SIDS is the leading diagnosis for postneonatal death -- death occurring after the first 27 days -- and there were 2,523 deaths attributed to SIDS in the United States in 2000. The rate of SIDS has been declining over the past several years.
This study is the sixth in a series of eight on vaccine safety sponsored by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. The Institute of Medicine is a private, nonprofit institution that provides health policy advice under a congressional charter granted to the National Academy of Sciences. A committee roster follows.
