3 awesome benefits of buying a replica watch
Do you ever glance at those eye-catching high-end watches and think about wearing one? Few questions have definitely come to your mind! "How would it look on my wrist?'' or "What compliments would I get?" and "How well it could go with my clothes?" Sounds familiar? It is normal for any human being wanting to get noticed. It's also an usual thing to ensure that you select each accessory you can lay your hands on to look attractive and get noticed. But being the centre of attention can imply plunking down huge sums of money. However, you can come across a different way to exhibit the same glamour and style at a lower price tag. Fortunately, replica watches can be your savior. If you're trying to look elegant on a low budget, replica watches are the best thing you can get your hands on. Just make sure that you end up buying your preferred brand.
Extremely Low Price Tag
People may shy away initially, but counterfeit watches can offer a plethora of advantages. The first and foremost is the price tag. A replica can be bought at a much cheaper rate than an original Tag Heuer model. Yet a Tag Heuer replica will look exactly the same. For example, an actual high-end Hublot Classic Fusion Haute Joaillerie will cost up to $1 million, but you would spend only a few hundred on a replica Hublot watch of the identical design. You will still be retaining the essence of a genuine item without needing to dish out a million dollar. The reality is that you won't find high-end brands at a low price, but you can get a replica for a decent sum of money. Replica watches do not look very different, those are made with very good materials. They are engineered with precision and have the same lavish feeling to them. And you probably won't regret your decision. But make sure that the replica watches are bought from a reliable buyer who can offer you great deals. Replica watches are great for value. This option could be much safer than that of an expensive watch, particularly if those are misplaced or stolen.
Ability to Own Multiple Pieces
One more advantage of buying counterfeit watches is the fact that any watch-lover can afford to buy numerous pieces. With high-end watches, a person of average means will pay their entire savings or more for a single piece and they might possibly own it all their life. With replica watches, fortunately, you have the option to browse and buy more and more watches - the most luxurious ones. Whether you want a casual Audemars Piguet Swiss replica watch, a sporty Rolex Replica or a glamorous and elegant Omega, you can buy these in combinations as they are reasonably priced, and that's perhaps the major advantage. Also, few replica watches are created to emulate limited series of high-end brands. This also means that very few of those watches are available for the public and you would be able to flaunt something that is very rare, even if it's a replica.
Suitable for Daily Use
Generally, people wear watches during daily activities to keep track of time. A quality replica may be quite dependable as it's built to undergo rigorous day-to-day use. Manufacturers of replica watches ensure that the quality is good enough to withstand wear and tear. Moreover, watches tend to remain a device of telling time for most people. You'll never buy a high-end designer watch for everyday use. Many individuals may buy designer Swiss Panerai Replica watches and put them on special occasions. Now, if you want to sport a Panerai watch daily, an ideal way to do this is to purchase a replica. In the modern online marketplace, counterfeit Panerai watches are acknowledged by many merchants who can offer you the best prices. Simply browse and select the model you wish to purchase. The replica watch would be hardly distinguishable from the real ones. The exact physical appearance and an enviable design will make people admire your taste!

MIAMI (AP) -- Florida's minimum wage earners are about to get a 12-cents-an-hour boost.
But experts say the increase won't help that many people and adds up to less than $5 a week.
Minimum wage in the Sunshine State will rise to $7.79 on Tuesday. Only about 210,000 out of 7.4 million employed workers Florida workers will benefit.
The increase likely will affect phone sales workers, drivers, housekeepers, toll collectors, security guards and many hourly wage workers in the hotel and restaurant industry.
Younger workers may feel the greatest impact. A University of Central Florida economist says workers under the age of 24 account for roughly half of all minimum-wage earners.
The National Employment Law Project estimates the increase will add $46.2 million to the state's gross domestic product.

ASP.NET Web Forms
Now let's switch gears a little and take a look at ASP.NET Web Forms. We get a lot of email from people worried that with the release of ASP.NET MVC, ASP.NET Web Forms may be going away. We want to let you know that this is certainly not the case. Microsoft has invested a lot in Web forms for the .NET 4 release, with the aim of making your productive experience in building Web applications using ASP.NET and ASP.NET Web forms easier and more powerful than ever.
Client ID flexibility. One major piece of feedback that we've heard from developers involves controlling the Client ID of controls. With the explosion in popularity of JavaScript-based client-side APIs such as the JQuery JavaScript library, many people have found that the controls generated by an ASP.NET page on the server side have obscure or hard-to-recognize IDs because the framework would modify the client-side IDs to uniquely identify each control. It could give you the ID that you had previously defined, or could leave you with something long and obscure like ctl00_MasterPageBody_ctl07_TextBox1, and if you needed to write some client-side script against this, the experience wasn't optimal. Now, with ASP.NET 4, all controls have a ClientIDMode property which can be used to control this behavior. Note also that the overall ClientID mode can be set for the application in Web.config.
So, for example, consider this simple ASP.NET Web Form that uses a master page:
<asp:TextBox ID="MyTextBox1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
that will produce the following HTML:
<input name="ctl00$ContentPlaceHolder1$MyTextBox1" type="text" id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_MyTextBox1" />
The ClientIDMode property has a number of settings that you can use. In this case, as you have a single control, setting it to Static lest you generate the ID on the client exactly as it is specified on the server, so the following ASP.NET markup:
<asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="MyTextBox1" ClientIDMode="Static" ></asp:TextBox>
will produce the following HTML:
<input name="ctl00$ContentPlaceHolder1$MyTextBox1" type="text" id="MyTextBox1" />
Another option for the ClientID mode property are Predictable which is typically used in a data binding scenario where n controls are created at runtime where n is determined by how many records you are binding to. So, for example, consider a GridView control like this:
<asp:GridView ID="Friends" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="false" ClientIDMode="Predictable" > <Columns> <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="ID"> <ItemTemplate> <asp:Label ID="FriendID" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("ID") %>' /> </ItemTemplate> </asp:TemplateField> <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Name"> <ItemTemplate> <asp:Label ID="FriendName" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("Name") %>' /> </ItemTemplate> </asp:TemplateField> </Columns> </asp:GridView>
The HTML that is generated will have a table whose ID is the name of the Grid, and elements whose names are derived from the name of the grid, the name of the field and an incremental value, so you can predict that a field will be called GridName_FieldName_X.

 .. 1	 Scott Guthrie	 .. 2	 Laurence Moroney	 ..

Other options are Inherit where the name will inherit from the parent container, and AutoID where the legacy behavior of pre-NET 4 is maintained for backwards compatibility.
Cleaner HTML
Going beyond ClientID control, ASP.NET 4 also gives you the ability to emit very clean HTML. This makes it a lot easier for you to do CSS styling on your HTML, make AJAX programming simpler and be more bandwidth efficient. ASP.NET 4 gives you clean markup through removing many of the extraneous inline styles, and by removing outer table rendering on template controls.
As a simple example of this, consider an Image control, which in ASP.NET is defined like this:
<asp:Image ID="Image1" runat="server" />
When you'd execute the application, this would generate markup like this, where a style with border width of 0 has been added for you whether you want it or not:

With ASP.NET 4, this behavior is turned off by default, so you'll get cleaner HTML, and its xHTML conformance is set to be strict. The earlier Image will look like this:

There are many other instances of using controls where styles like this would be added, or the output would be wrapped in a table, so that inline styles could be applied. In .NET 4, this is removed, but, for backwards compatibility, you can turn it back on. You do this using the <pages> node in your web.config. If you load an older project into Visual Studio 2010, this will be set to the "old" mode so as not to break your markup. Here's the Web.config setting for the "old" way. Change the value to "4.0" for cleaner HTML.
<pages controlRenderingCompatibilityVersion="3.5"/>

About Stampeders
The early '70s saw a mini-boom in America for Canadian-born rockers -- apart from major players like Neil Young and the Band, and singles chart fixtures like the Guess Who, there was an entire wave of one-hit and near-one-hit wonders. The Stampeders were part of this group, a trio originally from Calgary, Alberta, who hit the Top Ten in 1971 with the infectiously catchy "Sweet City Woman." They later charted low in the Hot 100 with "Devil You," and brushed the Top 40 in 1976 with "Hit the Road Jack."
The Stampeders were originally formed as a rock sextet in 1964, playing the bar circuit in Calgary before they set out for Toronto in 1966, playing local clubs and building a name for themselves. They saw limited success as a recording act in Canada with the single "Morning Magic" in 1968, but it was soon after this that the group was reduced to a trio: Rich Dodson (guitar), Ronnie King (bass), and Kim Berly (drums). A year later, this version of the Stampeders had their first real success on record with the sublimely beautiful country-rocker "Carry Me," which charted in Canada and got released in America. Then, in 1971, they were signed to Bell Records, the New York-based label best known as the home of such pop/rock outfits as the Partridge Family and Tony Orlando & Dawn.
That summer, they had the biggest hit of their career with "Sweet City Woman," a genial piece of midtempo country-rock that reached the American Top Ten and did even better in Canada, so well and so widely played that some younger listeners from "down north" came to resent the group and its success. The group released an album to accompany the single, but somehow, "Sweet City Woman" was one of those songs that just didn't entice listeners to make the jump to laying out the extra money for the LP -- the Sweet City Woman album never did much, although the group was popular enough for a time to justify three subsequent albums (for different labels, including Capitol) and a bunch of singles, none of which sold very well.
Ironically, "Sweet City Woman" wasn't very representative of the Stampeders' sound, only one facet of it. Their music had its romantic side, but also incorporated elements of CCR-style swamp rock and roots rock, as befitted a band that had made its living playing bars in the Canadian far west. Their last entry on the American charts was a version of "Hit the Road Jack" which included a telephone conversation with disc jockey Wolfman Jack, which reached number 40 in 1976. This was around the time that the Wolfman had been made a virtual fixture in American popular culture, courtesy of George Lucas' American Graffiti and his subsequent appearances on television. ~ Bruce Eder

On this day — the religious revival was Perry's brainchild say the event's organizers; the Senate passes a Congressional redistricting map that divides Travis County into five; the Senate takes up legislation that would relax classroom size and teacher contract requirements in a bid to lessen the impact of budget cuts; and in 'EXTRA!,' I can say with 'certitude' that was one of the strangest press conferences I've seen in a while.

***We're Gonna Need a Bigger Tent
A spokesman for the American Family Association, the group putting on the massive August revival at Reliant Stadium, says the AFA began planning for such an event in December at Gov. Rick Perry's behest. Which is all sorta strange because the Governor has insisted for months (before he changed his answer to — I'm too busy with the Lege to think about it) that he he absolutely, positively, wasn't running for President. Houston Chronicle religion reporter Kate Shellnutt and Austin Bureau Chief Peggy Fikac report on Perry' latest bid to build his profile with evangelical Christians, a key block in Republican presidential primary politics:
"It's a continuation of his so-far successful effort to keep his name in the papers. He's been maintaining a high profile — some think to run for president, others think for different reasons. This is surely that," said Bruce Buchanan, a professor at the University of Texas at Austin, whose specialties include presidential politics.
"It also bespeaks the kind of constituency that he wants to reach and address — what he thinks his base is, for whatever purposes he may have."
Larry Sabato, director of the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia, called the rally "an obvious appeal to fundamentalist Christians, who comprise 60 percent of the turnout in the Iowa caucuses. It could be even higher in South Carolina, another early primary."
Sarah Posner, author of God's Profits: Faith, Fraud, and the Republican Crusade for Values Voters, said she understood how some Republican Christians may be holding out hope for Perry to join the race, particularly after Mike Huckabee announced he would not run in 2012. Huckabee, who also used the restoration movement during his campaign, had been a favorite in Texas.
"A lot of religious activists are looking at the field right now and wondering if there's a candidate for them," Posner said.
– The Austin American-Statesman's Ken Herman takes issue with Governor's office description of the revival as 'non-denominational.'
As a non-Christian, I may be being a little picky here, but are "Christian" and "nondenominational" mutually exclusive? Isn't something billed as Christian kind of denominational by definition?
I find nothing wrong with the spirit of the event. I'm happy when people of sincere faith seek sincere guidance and help from whatever deity in which they sincerely believe. But I do have a little problem with the whole nondenominational thing when it seems to brand my denomination as something other than a denomination.
But enough about me. Let's talk about the Response, self-described at theresponseusa.com as "Historic Crisis. Historic Response. Historic Breakthrough." (I see T-shirts!)
"There is hope," Perry says on the website. "It lies in heaven, and we will find it on our knees."
Below the fold — John Branch cartoons the punched out Democrats; in 'The Clips,' school finance protests, a congressional redistricting map passes, more indications Michael Williams is leaving the GOP Senate race; and in 'EXTRA!,' did you have some really bad news that you wanted no one to notice? You should have leaked it around 4:30 yesterday.
***It'll Be Over Soon… Right?
***The Clips
– The Senate passed a key mandate relief bill that will allow school districts to cut teacher pay and implement furlough days, preventing layoffs that would otherwise result from the $4 billion in funding cuts proposed to higher education. The House is expected to take up a similar proposal, which includes a provision that would lift the hard 22-1 student/teacher ratio that has been in place since the 1980's. Chronicle/Express-News reporter Gary Scharrer explains:
Lawmakers are working to cut $4 billion from the state's 1,040 public school districts. Giving school administrators flexibility to cut teacher pay and allow up to six days of unpaid leave — which existing law does not allow — will save teacher jobs, Senate Education Chair Florence Shapiro, R-Plano, said of school reform measure SB 8.
But hundreds of educators and their supporters attending a Capitol rally were not impressed.
"What they are calling reform should be called a crime," Fort Bend ISD science teacher Randy Colbert said.
"Trying to cut teachers' rights and teachers' pay any time they want to will hurt education. You won't be able to get quality people into teaching that you need. You won't be able to get people to stay in education that you need," the high school teacher said. "And the ones who will be hurt are the students."
– The Houston Chronicle's Patti Hart reports on the congressional redistricting map that was passed out of the Senate on Monday by an 18-12 vote.
In a debate many viewed as a prelude to a lawsuit, Democrats fired questions at Sen. Kel Seliger, R-Amarillo, chairman of the Senate redistricting committee, accusing him of devising districts to maximize Republican opportunities to elect members of Congress in violation of the Voting Rights Act.
Sen. Carlos Uresti, D-San Antonio, noted that Republican candidates generally garner 55 percent of the vote in Texas, and yet "this plan is designed to elect Republicans to 72 percent" of Texas' 36 congressional districts.
"I ask you, in what world would this be seen as proportional?" Uresti asked. The plan, he said, does not "reflect the changing demographics of Texas It ignores reality and stands in the way of the future."
– In related news, current US Senate candidate Michael Williams has dropped some more hints that he may be interested in running for one of the new US House seats that would be created under the Senate's redistricting map; The Texas Tribune's Evan Smith reports.
– The Statesman's Chuck Lindell reports that legal aid programs may have been saved at the last minute.
The money, added late last week to a Senate finance bill, would shore up endangered legal aid programs that offer help for life-altering problems, including home foreclosures, child custody disputes, consumer scams and many other noncriminal issues.
Without the money, an estimated 25,000 people would be unable to get free or reduced-cost legal help, many of them military veterans, domestic violence victims and elderly and disabled Texans.
"It's not about handouts and programs. It's about the integrity of the legal process," Supreme Court Justice Nathan Hecht said Monday.
– If you thought that Perry's jabs at Sen. Wendy Davis, D-Fort Worth, seemed a little personal last week, you weren't alone writes Chronicle/Express-News Austin Bureau Chief Peggy Fikac.
Maybe that's why Perry's jibes at Davis seem a bit personal.
As Perry prepared to call the special session, he said he was sure lawmakers would "have appropriate things to say to her. We come here to work. We don't come here to be show horses or to do anything other than to get the will of the people done."
He got no kinder as the week wore on, saying, "We're back here spending extra dollars and taking people's time when we could have finished that work on Monday. But I'll let that individual explain what their thought process was."
Davis stood by her view that it's wrong to short schools by billions of dollars compared to what they'd get under current law. Asked about the special session giving Perry another chance at issues opposed by Democrats — since he controls its agenda — she said that won't be her party's call. Perry could have called a special session regardless of what happened on school finance.
– Why put the biggest political story of the day all the way down here? To try and convince you to make it through everything more important up top. Think of it as a method by which you got your veggies (actual news) and now you can have some dessert (scandal!). Wait, can I put desert and Weiner in the same sentence? Oh, never mind. If it makes you feel any more dignified, The New York Times provides coverage with their usual rarefied air.
No sooner had Mr. Weiner delivered a startlingly abject admission and apology — carried live on television Monday from a circuslike news conference in Manhattan — than top Democrats on Capitol Hill began distancing themselves from him and his behavior.
Several, including Representative Nancy Pelosi of California, the House minority leader, called for an ethics inquiry into whether Mr. Weiner had violated House rules or used official resources to carry on his salacious electronic conversations.
Representative Steve Israel of Nassau County, the leader of the party's effort to recapture a majority in Congress, said Mr. Weiner had "embarrassed himself, his family and the House."
– Also, Scott Pelley, native Texan and 60 Minutes veteran, made his debut on the CBS Evening News; where the lead story was Afghanistan, followed by Iraq, which was followed by other actual news, which was then followed by a brief piece on the Weiner sexting scandal.

Platelets are a special type of blood cell. They help form clots so that you do not bleed too much. Heparin is a blood-thinning medication that decreases clotting.
Thrombocytopenia means low blood platelet count. Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia is low blood platelet count caused by heparin. This condition can lead to excessive blood clotting. Excessive bleeding is rare.
This type of thrombocytopenia is caused by platelet clumping due to an immune reaction to heparin. The clumping uses up the platelets and lowers the count.
Symptoms of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia are from blockage of blood vessels and include:
- Pain or swelling in the legs
- Chest pain
- Difficulty breathing
- Anxiety
- Sweating
- Rapid, irregular heartbeat
- Headache
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Your bodily fluids may be tested. This can be done with blood tests.
Images may be taken of any bodily structures that may have been affected by clotting. The method will depend on the area affected. Extremities can be examined for deep vein thrombosis with ultrasound. Damage from blood clots in the brain may be found with a CT or MRI scan. Other imaging may be used for diagnosing heart attacks or pulmonary embolism.
Talk with your doctor about the best plan for you. Treatment options include the following:
- Stopping the use of heparin
- Anticoagulating drugs—to reduce the risk of blood clots
- Vitamin K Antagonists Therapy (VKA)—if you were taking a VKA, it will be stopped and you will be given Vitamin K; the VKA will be restarted when your platelet count is normal.
- Platelet transfusion—to replace lost platelets may be given if there is severe bleeding, although this is very rare
To help reduce your chance of getting heparin-induced thrombocytopenia, discuss with your doctor the following:
- Avoiding heparin use
- Taking other anticoagulants

Using Mobility to free you from the desktop – What we've gained by deploying Cisco Unified Mobility
A lot of our employees, especially salespeople, seem to work everywhere except at their desks. Reaching them used to mean making multiple calls to multiple numbers, and leaving messages at each one. And waiting for an important phone call sometimes meant that you were tied to your desk until it came through.
Now, with Single Number Reach (SNR) — a feature of Cisco Unified Mobility — I can receive business calls wherever I want to be reached at the moment–at my desk, at home, or on my mobile phone. And if I can't answer, Cisco Unified Mobility gets all my messages sent to a single voicemail box. There's also a Mobility feature that lets me transfer calls from my office phone to my mobile phone, and back again – without anyone on the other end knowing I've changed phones. This helps when I pick up an important call at my desk, but need to take care of something that takes me away from the desk phone. Sometimes I've got to get in the car and can use my Bluetooth headset to finish the conversation.
My current SNR profile is configured to route calls to my mobile inside of normal working hours, and then to push them to voicemail on weekends. I even have an access control list (ACL) to allow my manager's calls to pass through to the mobile number at any day/hour. He does respect normal work hours but we do know emergencies happen from time to time and it is important to be accessible.
All of these Cisco Unified Mobility features were made available to 80,000 phones in our company, by activating them on in our eighteen production Unified Communications server clusters around the world. The truly impressive thing about the Cisco Unified Mobility service is that it can scale to companies of any size. The benefits to the individual user apply no matter if you are an 8 or 80,000 person company. Mobility benefits the individual most.
From our deployment activity, we learned valuable lessons for our customers about implementation decisions, feature adoption by users, and the resulting business benefits.
Positive User Response Delivers the Power of Unification
We asked our employees, through a user survey, what they thought of our Cisco Unified Mobility deployment. As expected, nearly all users gave high ratings to Single Number Reach. Employees report their productivity has increased by up to 30 minutes each week, by being reachable more quickly and easily, and by having a single voicemail service to check each day. My guess is that the people with the greatest productivity gains were not the people who configured SNR themselves, but the people who were calling them and got them on the first try.
Our users also reported these other benefits:
- They reduced or stopped using phone-based call forwarding, pagers, and voicemail greetings that ask the caller to dial another number
- They no longer needed to check mobile or alternate voice mailboxes to retrieve Cisco business messages
- They no longer needed to distribute multiple contact numbers, just their Cisco business number
For me, the biggest benefit is the ability to be always accessible to the team without trying. It used to be standard practice to proactively tell everyone you were going to be on your mobile during a certain window, or reachable at this number for time off, etc. Keeping the group up to date as where you were at any given time was a little distracting. Now, people just call you at your regular office number and they reach you… it is as simple as that.
Next week, I'll describe how we deployed Cisco Unified Mobility for Cisco around the world, and what we learned about how to deploy the service.
In an effort to keep conversations fresh, Cisco Blogs closes comments after 60 days. Please visit the Cisco Blogs hub page for the latest content.

Chris, well stated. I am a SNR user. The ability to give a single number for reaching me, and confident that calls will also ring on my cell phone, has improved my one-time call connections and, allows me to stay connected while mobile. Not clear to me why anyone would not use this capability.

Bitcoin Price Boom Resurrects Once-Feverish Penny Stocks
By CCN: The feverish Bitcoin price rally appears to be spilling over into the stock market, where ice-cold blockchain stocks are once again showing signs of life – and investor FOMO. Bloomberg's Bailey Lipschultz notes that at least one penny stock has capitalized on the recent Bitcoin bull market. MGT Capital Investments Inc. – yep, the one with the John McAfee connection – announced it's getting back into crypto mining. It has reportedly seen gains around 15% per share as a result of their recent press release, which reads, in part: ?The recent increase in the price of Bitcoin, without The post Bitcoin Price Boom Resurrects Once-Feverish Penny Stocks appeared first on CCN

June 29, 2004
New York — Journalists from across the nation gathered last night at The Plaza in New York City for the 2004 Gerald Loeb Awards Banquet, celebrating the best of business, financial and economic journalism. The Loeb Awards, considered among the highest honors in journalism, recognize those journalists whose contributions to the industry illuminate the world of business and finance for readers and viewers around the world.
Bruce Willison, dean of UCLA Anderson School of Management and chairman of the G. and R. Loeb Foundation, welcomed Loeb Awards honorees and their guests. Lou Dobbs, anchor and managing editor of CNN's "Lou Dobbs Tonight" and a Loeb Awards final judge, served as the master of ceremonies.
The Loeb Awards gives two special awards for career contributions, the Lifetime Achievement Award, which was given to Louis Rukeyser, economic commentator and financial adviser and the host of CNBC's "Louis Rukeyser's Wall Street," and the Lawrence Minard Editor Award, which went to Michael Siconolfi, senior editor, financial investigative projects of The Wall Street Journal. In addition, there are 10 competition categories in which the winners were named at the banquet. Following is the list of 2004 Loeb Awards recipients, along with brief synopses of their award-winning work.
Large Newspaper Winner
David B. Ottaway and Joe Stephens of The Washington Post for "Big Green," a beautifully written, well documented and scrupulously fair series that took on an icon, exposing greed and wrongdoing in a place no one expected to find it and producing a Congressional investigation.
Medium Newspaper Winner
Fred Schulte of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel for "Drugging the Poor." Fulfilling a classic mission of newspapers by giving a voice to the problems of the underclass, these articles exposed how a group of doctors prescribed huge amounts of narcotic painkillers to low-income people on Medicaid.
Small Newspaper Winner
Kate Long of The Charleston Gazette for "Everybody at Risk," which highlighted a severe national problem, bringing it to life with real people and concluding with an especially compelling look at what many people see as a possible solution to the health insurance mess.
Magazine Winner
Aaron Bernstein, Pete Engardio and Manjeet Kripalani of BusinessWeek for "Is Your Job Next / The Rise of India," an engaging presentation that opened the raging debate on offshoring, exploring it completely on topics ranging from the political and economic fallout to the upsides for business and downsides for workers.
Commentary Winner
Michael Hiltzik of the Los Angeles Times for "Golden State" columns that are smart, angry, and sometimes, laugh out-loud funny, tackling complex subjects in a lively accessible style with a strong voice and a real sense of being on the reader's side..
Deadline Writing Winner
Susanne Craig, Ianthe Jeanne Dugan, Theo Francis and Kate Kelly of The Wall Street Journal for "The Day Grasso Quit as NYSE Chief," reporting on one of the most important business stories of the year, the submission provided a richness in detail, color and excellent context.
Beat Writing Winner
J. Lynn Lunsford, Andy Pasztor and Anne Marie Squeo of The Wall Street Journal for "A Spotlight on Boeing's Legal and Ethical Scandals," leading the coverage of the government probes and guiding the investigations down different avenues, the stories in this package were powerfully written, rich in detail and defined solid beat reporting.
News Services or Online Content Winners
Two winners were announced in this category: Adrian Cox, David Evans and Abhay Singh of Bloomberg News for "The Flimflam Man," in a fascinating look at the risky world of high-stakes trading and the anything-goes atmosphere of the boom years, this is a reportorial tour de force thoroughly documented at every turn on a crime that stands out even in this age of outrageous corporate scandals.
Chris Adams and Alison Young of the Knight Ridder Washington Bureau for "Risky Rx," quantifying the extent of off-label prescribing of drugs and vividly showing its sometimes-lethal consequences, this series is a stand out by virtue of its extremely high public service value, including arming readers with excellent consumer information.
Short Form Television Winner
Doug Adams, Christiana Arvetis, Donna Bass, Steve Capus, Joo Lee, Karen Nye, Albert Oetgen, Felicia Patinkin, John Reiss, Charles Schaeffer, Nikki Stamos and Anne Thompson of NBC Nightly News for "The Jobless Recovery," the economy was unable to crank out enough jobs for millions of American seeking them last year, and through this balanced, well written, photographed and edited examination, viewers felt empathy and pain for the jobless from college kids to seasoned white-collar males.
Long Form Television Winner
Rome Hartman and Lesley Stahl of CBS News "60 Minutes" for "Imported from India," unique in tackling a subject of such economic impact in a foreign country, this informative and thorough investigation looks at what it means to India to have many of its top graduates abandon their country for leadership positions in a number of Blue Chip American corporations.

The Loeb Awards included a career development seminar exclusively for the 2004 Loeb Awards finalists. The event was held on Sunday, June 27, 2004, and was hosted by the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). It featured two presentations, "Making History: Exploring the Scope of Change in the Securities Industry and the NYSE" by Catherine R. Kinney, president and co-chief operating officer of the NYSE, and "Sources: Should We Bite the Hand that Feeds Us?" by Minard Editor Award recipient Michael Siconolfi of The Wall Street Journal.
Established in 1957 by Gerald Loeb, a founding partner of E.F. Hutton, the Loeb Awards recognize journalists who have made significant contributions to the public's understanding of business, finance and the economy. The judges select winners based on quality of reporting and writing, news and analytical value, originality and exclusivity, and in the broadcast categories only, production value and visual impact. UCLA Anderson School of Management has presented the awards since 1973.

The Yale University Fellowship Training Program in Cardiovascular Disease is an ACGME-accredited program that provides the trainee with outstanding skills in clinical cardiology and cardiovascular research. Fellows will develop their basic and clinical knowledge, procedural skills, clinical judgment, professionalism and interpersonal skills required as a specialist in cardiovascular diseases. The program emphasizes training of academic cardiologists who will become leaders in clinical cardiology and cardiovascular research. For more information, please download our Complete Program Brochure.
Application Process
The program accepts nine trainees per year for a minimum of three years. All applications for the 2016 Training Program in Cardiovascular Medicine will be electronically processed through the ERAS (Electronic Residency Application Service) website. ERAS will begin accepting applications on July 15, 2016. The application deadline is August 15, 2016. We DO NOT require a Dean's letter, medical school transcript or USMLE scores. We do accept applications from individuals holding J-1 visas. The Section of Cardiovascular Medicine actively supports the Yale University policies and programs for affirmative action. The Fellowship Program believes that diversity is essential in academic institutions and is fully committed to recruitment and development of minority group members and women for careers in cardiology.
The program provides clinical cardiology training which is based at three sites. Yale-New Haven Hospital (both the York Street and Saint Raphael campuses) serves as a primary care hospital for the greater New Haven area and as a tertiary care center for southern New England. The West Haven VA Medical Center serves as a primary care hospital for the state of Connecticut, and as a tertiary care center for the southern New England and New York areas. The patients from these institutions represent a wide variety of common and rare cardiovascular disorders and provide excellent exposure to all areas of cardiovascular medicine.
Overview of Program
The general cardiology fellowship training program includes a minimum of 24 months of training dedicated to acquiring broad skills in clinical cardiology. This initial training is followed by one to three subsequent years of advanced training. Advanced training is offered in interventional cardiology, clinical electrophysiology, nuclear cardiology, echocardiography, heart failure, clinical epidemiology and health services research, and translational cardiovascular research and basic cardiovascular research. Please download application for advanced training here.
The continuity clinic experience insures that fellows develop the skills to evaluate and treat patients effectively in the outpatient setting. The continuity clinics are held at a variety of sites to expose the fellows to a diverse patient population. Currently, the continuity clinics include sites at the main campus (Yale Physicians Building), the West Haven VA Medical Center, Saint Raphael's Campus and Hill Health Center. If a fellow has a particular subspecialty interest, there are other continuity clinics that are available for them, including a cardiomyopathy clinic, electrophysiology clinic and cardio-oncology clinic.

I suggested he use the data to test Strava reproducibility in segment timing. No luck there, but I did find that a friend of mine has been in the habit of riding with a Garmin Edge 500 mounted alongside a Garmin Edge 800 on his rides. We have a mutual friend who works for Garmin, so he's doing this to compare the two.
I asked him for data from three of his rides. I then created two new accounts on Strava and uploaded the data from his Edge 500 into one, and from the Edge 800 into the other. The new accounts are necessary because Strava rejects what appear to be duplicate rides from the same account. I made these rides private to avoid contaminating the historical record, since he'd already uploaded data using his personal account. Then I created a spreadsheet with all of the segments for each of the three rides.
The Edge 800 data yielded 58 matched segments, while the Edge 500 yielded 56 matched segments. The two segments matched to the Edge 800 data but missed in the Edge 500 data were "West Alpine Road Start of Climb" and "West Alpine Road Portola State Park Road to Finish". Obviously there had been an issue with the Edge 500 data on Alpine Road. However, the Edge 500 data did trigger the "West Alpine Road Alpine Creek to Peak" segment. West Alpine Road is a relatively complex climb and has had an extraordinary number of segments defined for it: of the 56 total segments matched to both data sets, nine are on Alpine Road. And these are in addition to the two Alpine Road segments which were assigned only to the Edge 800 data.
For each segment I subtracted the claimed time for the segment derived for the Edge 500 data from that derived for the Edge 800 data.
Before I show the graph, I should add I expected some difference. Garmins sample at one or two second intervals. Strava interpolates on these data points, but interpolations can only do so well, so I'd expect an error of around 1 second on the start time and around 1 second on the finish time, so even if everything's perfect, an error of ±2 seconds is about the best I'd anticipate.
There's other errors, of course. The GPS signal is only good to around 10 meter accuracy. But these are units with essentially the same electronics and the same algorithms looking at a signal within 10 cm of each other. So while the general positional error of the GPS signal should add up to around 10 meters of uncertainty to the start and stop position, since this positional error should affect both computers close to the same. But since bikes move at around 5 meters per second up hill, a 10 meter error at either the top or the bottom along the direction of travel could create another two seconds or so of variation in the segment timing.
Then there's the problem that the segment was defined with data which was also subject to noise. You'd like to believe there's an imaginary line across the road defining the start and end of a segment but the reality is the virtual line, even if your GPS is perfect, is slanted. So if your position in the road varies, or if the GPS signal varies your trajectory to the left or right, that will affect at what point you intersect these virtual start and finish lines. This could be another two seconds or so, similar to the error from longitudinal position error, off the start and finish. But again this error should be relatively smaller because we're considering two GPS units on the same handlebars at the same time.
So worst case I have the following error estimates for ride-to-ride variation:
- 1 second at start due to sampling time
- 1 second at finish due to sampling time
- 2 second at start due to longitudinal position errors
- 2 seconds at finish due to longitudinal position errors
- 2 seconds at start due to transverse position errors
- 2 seconds at finish due to transverse position errors
I assume these errors are uncorrelated so I take the root-mean-squared-sum and get around 4 seconds typical variability for ride-to-ride variations, but less than that for two GPS units mounted on the same handlebars on the same ride... let's say 2 seconds.
So what's the data show? Here's the results:
If I look at the mid-range of the distribution, my estimate was spot-on: errors are typically between ‒2 and +2 seconds, without evident bias between the two data sets. However, the devil here is in the tails. A significant number of segment timings have far worse errors.
These segments, it turns out, are all either on West Alpine Road or on Old La Honda Road. The top of Old La Honda Road, in particular, is notorious for terrible GPS signal quality due to the trees and terrain creating confusion from signal reflection. But Strava's algorithm is relatively forgiving, and so assigns segment times anyway.
Here are the worst offenders where the Edge 800 reported shorter times:
climb delta INTEGRATE_Performance_Fitness_OLH_Climb -25 OLH_Mile_3_to_End -12 OLH_(LowKey) -8 Arastradero/Alpine_-_Portola_-_Wed_Valley_Ride -7 Old_La_Honda_(bridge_front_to_stop_sign) -5 Old_La_Honda_(Bridge_to_Mailboxes) -4 West_Old_La_Honda_Descent -4
Wow -- 25 seconds on that first Old La Honda segment!
And here's the culprit segments where the Edge 500 reported shorter times:
climb delta West_Alpine_-_full_length 4 Old_La_Honda_Mile_3 4 OLH_-_Mile_2_to_3 7 West_Alpine_-_First_Half 8 West_Alpine—Alpine_Creek_to_Portola_SP_Rd 18 W_Alpine_climb_-_Alpine_Creek_to_2nd_switchback 31 West_Alpine_-_Alpine_Creek_to_peak_(RR_gate2) 48
This one's even better -- the West Alpine segment has a whopping 48 second disagreement. It's as if the Edge 500 had dropped the 800 with enough of a gap to get out of sight on those final turns... And curiously Old La Honda data actually appears at both ends of this range, demonstrating what a problem child Old La Honda can be.
So it may be on most segments the Garmin-Strava link does fairly well: within a handful of seconds. But on problematic segments the error can be profound, enough to radically change rankings.
Perhaps Strava should tighten up the criteria by which it considers rides to be a match to segments. This would result in users complaining that they'd ridden a segment but not gotten credit. But on the other hand it would improve the integity of the KOM rankings for these difficult segments. An alternative would be to flag marginally matching data on the rankings, so it becomes clearer that the results are questionable.

EU 261 Flight Cancellation Compensation: How to Get Easy €600 ?
The discomfort caused by a flight cancellation may be unavoidable and can cause a lot of stress1 Comment
Thomas Cook Airlines (UK) Limited is a British airline based in Manchester, England. It serves leisure destinations worldwide from its main bases at Manchester Airport and Gatwick Airport. It also operates services from eight other bases around the United Kingdom.
Thomas Cook Airlines is part of the airline division of the Thomas Cook Group, which consists of three more sister airlines, all of which have a joint fleet management: Thomas Cook Airlines Scandinavia, German based Condor and Thomas Cook Airlines Balearics. The airline holds a United Kingdom Civil Aviation Authority Type A Operating Licence, permitting it to carry passengers, cargo and mail on aircraft with 20 or more seats. It was formed by the rebranding of JMC Air in 2003. Following the merger of the MyTravel Group with Thomas Cook in 2008, Thomas Cook Airlines UK Ltd was merged with MyTravel Airways.
If your flight is delayed or cancelled and you arrive at your final destination at least 3 hours after the scheduled time due to causes within the airline carrier's control, you are entitled for up to €600 compensation according to EU Regulation 261/2004.
Regulation 261 is a European regulation establishing common rules on compensation and assistance to passengers in the event of flight delays and cancellations.
Flight delay compensation claims are only applicable to flights leaving an EU airport and/or any flight arriving at an EU airport by an EU registered carrier.
You only have to fill out application, it needs only 3 minutes and We will do the rest.
If you have one of the following situation
Flight is Delayed and you arrive at your final destination at least 3 hours after the scheduled time
Flight is Cancelled and you were given less than 14 days' notice before departure
Your Flight is Delayed or Cancelled and as a result you miss connecting flight
If you choose 3FlightDelay to handle your claim, then there's absolutely nothing for you to pay up front.
We are working on No Win, No Fee basis, which means that you pay nothing until you get compensation. There is nothing to lose. We do not get paid until you do!
We only receive a success-based 25% fee if your claim is successful and the airline pays your compensation. That means you carry no financial risk if you claim with us. We have a lowest fee in the industry!
Our experienced team will handle your case and do all the work for you. Even if we have to go to court on your behalf, we do not charge you for this. You don't pay anything if we lose.
Flight delay compensation amount depends on the Distance of the flight
0 – 1500 km
1500 – 3500 km
3500 + km
I was so angry that my flight was delayed unexpectedly, without any explanation or even proposal for replacement, that I looked for compensation, without personal involvement. I found 3FlightDelay through Google after a 8 hour delayed flight from Barcelona to California. After submitting my claim for my husband , nephew and me, 3FlightDelay informed me that i was due 600 euros per person . within a week the claim was approved by United Airlines due to their negotiation and they got me 1,800 Euros. I will highly recommend 3FlightDelay to everybody the process was simple and fast and they were very communicative through the whole process .
We are very appreciative of your efforts to obtain compensation for our cancelled flight. Simple to use and very effective. They did a great job. Their immaculate cooperation, expertise efficiency and client-oriented services are highly professional with easy to comprehend claim application procedure supported by an excellent (email) communication through out the entire process, whilst providing constant updates on the progress of the claim. Thank you very much indeed for everything.
3FlightDelay has been amazing in helping me and my friend get compensation for our flight from Tallinn to Paris. During May our flight was delayed twice. I heard about 3FlightDelay from my neighbour and I contacted them few days later to check if we were elegible for compensation. And we were. Even though I was a bit skeptical at the beginning, I filled out application in a few minutes. After that all we did was wait. During the process we were getting continuous updates with emails from 3FlightDelay to let us know how far things have progressed. We got our money in August. It took 3 months. it was worth it. I was aware that some compensations can take longer then others. But 3FlightDelay has been very professional and trustworthy during the entire time. I encourage everyone to use 3FlightDelay if they are eligible for flight compensations.
I didn't hear of this company until I made the claim for a missed connecting flight. Even thought their fee is very fair, I processed the claim myself directly with the airline. I lost and didn't receive any compensation. I thought I had nothing to lose and made a claim via 3FlightDelay not expecting a better result. It took about 2 months and they won. I found them professional and persistent! I will not hesitate to use them right away next time. Thanks!!! ❤
3FlightDelay really works fast, it´s easy to understand and it feels good to receive your compensation because as a passenger I felt helpless when my flight was delayed. Moreover, it was a connecting flight to my final destination and I had to change everything around it (bus, train, calling to a family member to come to pick us up at the airport because so late at night there was no more train)....well it all cost me money and nerves and of course I had responsibility for my small child who was travelling with me. So I was happy receiving support from 3FlightDelay - I felt that somebody cares. I really appreciate all your work!
Thank you 3FlightDelay for everything!! I am amazed how easy the whole process was. Just file a claim with 3FlightDelay and let them get you the compensation you deserve for your delayed or cancelled flight ! I would recommend this company to anyone !!👍
Thank you for your help and time! Brilliant Service ❤ My compensation is already in my pocket 😊
I just receive compensation for my cancelled flight. Thanks a lot!!
Wow! Brilliant company with brilliant staff! I experienced flight delay about 6 months ago and didn't even know about delay compensation since I saw 3FlightDelay's ad on Facebook 2 months ago. I did not believe at all, but because there was nothing to pay, I just filled out the application and got 600 EURO compensation. This is the easiest money I have ever received 😄 In fact, the airline paid me for a 5-hour delay. If 5 Hours = 600 Euro, so 1 Hour = 120 Euro - Not bad 😄 Thank you!!!
First of all, thank you for all work you have done for me! To be honest, I was very sceptical about flight delay compensation and I still don't believe that money is on the bank account. My flight was delayed for about 4 hours and we were told that it was because of bad weather conditions, but you know what?! This turned out to be a lie and i got my compensation within 1.5 months Thank you 3FlightDelay and my friend, who told me about this completely amazing company!
You are a group of professionals, who have surprised me. I admit that I would not have believed that I would get compensation ^_^ And it is very pleasant that you have successfully completed this experiment. I am happy as a citizen, as your client and I know that you will win many more cases and make many clients happy. Thank you very much for everything ❤❤❤❤ Good Luck!
First of all, thank you for everything! The flight was delayed on December 11, I filled up the application in a minute and got a flight delay compensation in 1 month! I'm very happy and thank you 3FlightDelay team !! This is professionalism! Highly Recommended! Very good people
I highly recommend this efficient, fast and very attentive company for everyone 💯 Thanks a lot, once again❤🙏

Sir Ian McKellen broke down in tears on the set of "The Hobbit" after becoming so frustrated filming green screen scenes with only visual aids to act opposite.
The thespian, who reprises his role as wizard Gandalf in the new Peter Jackson movie, found it difficult to shoot scenes on his own with just photographs for reference – and he reveals he threw a tantrum.
He tells ContactMusic, "In order to shoot the dwarves and a large Gandalf, we couldn't be in the same set. All I had for company was 13 photographs of the dwarves on top of stands with little lights – whoever's talking flashes up.
"Pretending you're with 13 other people when you're on your own, it stretches your technical ability to the absolute limits.
"I cried, actually. I cried. Then I said out loud, 'This is not why I became an actor.' Unfortunately the microphone was on and the whole studio heard."

Film Studies provides a forum for the rigorous analysis of visual, textual and verbal methods of communication. The Film Studies minor integrates offerings from several academic departments and programs to provide students with aesthetic, cultural, and historical approaches to cinema and visual culture. Students learn to analyze and interpret visual images, and engage with an array of cinematic works and styles from around the world and throughout the history of the medium.
Although the minor emphasizes critical approaches to cinema and visual culture, it also offers students the option to apply theory to artistic practice through a course in video production. Students interested in pursuing additional curricular avenues to explore film/video production might consider the GLCA New York Arts Program.
Students who wish to extend their Film Studies minor may consider majors that allow senior projects involving the critical study of film, such as Comparative Languages and Linguistics (CLL) and Japanese Studies.

BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- Seven U.S. troops were killed near Baghdad early Monday in a vehicle rollover accident, U.S. officials said.
U.S. troops question a man who was out after a curfew Sunday night in Baghdad.
Officials do not believe any hostile fire was involved. The location and name of the unit were not available as officials attempted to notify next of kin.
The U.S. military also said that a Task Force Lightning soldier died Sunday from injuries caused by rocket fire during a patrol in the northern Tameem province.
The number of U.S. military deaths in the Iraq war stands at 3,770, including seven civilian employees of the Defense Department.
Also Monday, 12 militants were killed in fighting between troops and insurgents just outside the northern city of Samarra, the U.S. military said.
The military said Iraqi and U.S. troops conducting a helicopter assault raid were confronted by militants from al Qaeda in Iraq. Insurgents fired at troops and wounded three U.S. soldiers, a statement said.
Backed up by helicopters, Iraqi and U.S. ground forces fired back, the statement said, killing 12 people described as "enemy extremists."
Three people were detained and a fourth "was positively identified as a hostage being held for ransom by the insurgents."
Samarra has been the scene of much fighting in recent months. The city in Salaheddin province is the site of Al-Askariya Mosque, the Shiite shrine that was attacked twice, apparently by Sunni militants. Watch U.S. soldiers give a tour of life in Iraq »
The U.S. military also claimed success against militants in volatile Diyala province.
The military said Monday that nine insurgents were killed and 10 detained during an Iraqi and U.S. operation called Operation Lightning Hammer II, which began last week. Soldiers were operating in the Baquba, Muqdadiya and Balad Ruz areas.
"The value of these operations is vital as we continue to pressure and target al Qaeda elements who feel they have a power base in Diyala province," said Lt. Col. James George.
Meanwhile, an official announced a slight easing of security measures in Baghdad during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, a religious observation that begins this week.
Brig. Gen. Qassim Atta, an Iraqi military spokesman, said on Iraqia TV that the nightly curfew will go into effect at midnight instead of 11 p.m. during Ramadan. It will last until 5 a.m.
The Friday vehicle curfew from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. will be dropped during the month. But vehicles won't be permitted over many of the Tigris River bridges linking eastern and western Baghdad.
It is unclear what other security measures will be enforced.
Muslims fast during daylight hours during Ramadan. In the evening, they eat small meals and visit with friends and family.
Iraq's prime minister on Monday touted his government's efforts in thwarting "sectarian war" but acknowledged Iraqi troops are not yet ready to take over security duties from the U.S.-led coalition.
"We have succeeded in preventing Iraq from going into sectarian war -- which threatened our dear Iraq -- and I am fully confident that national reconciliation is our only way that takes Iraq into safety in spite of all the destabilizing actions by local and international groups," said Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, who addressed the country's parliament, the Council of Representatives.
"Despite the security improvement, we still need more efforts and time in order for our armed forces to be able to take over security control in all Iraqi provinces from the multinational forces that helped us in a great way in fighting terrorism and outlaws" he said.
Al-Maliki's comments came hours before U.S. Gen. David Petraeus and Ryan Crocker, U.S. ambassador to Iraq, were to appear before Congress to deliver reports on military and political progress in Iraq. E-mail to a friend

With June and Gay Pride Month around the corner, the Obama for America campaign has launched its latest targeted voter outreach effort — "Obama Pride: LGBT Americans for Obama."
The campaign held a conference call for reporters with OFA LGBT National Vote Director Jamie Citron and National Campaign Co-Chair Joe Solmonese comes fast on the heels of the president's historic pronouncement in support of same sex marriage earlier this month. And it aims to roll out a multi-pronged effort to appeal to LGBT voters marshaling themes of the general campaign — by reminding them of the "fairness" issue, i.e. Main Street vs. Wall Street.
Citron says that the new move signals that LGBT voters are "coming together, as a community, to let Americans know we have his back."
Solmonese says LGBT voters have a choice to get involved, or "we can sit back and watch Mitt Romney take us back to where we started."
"The president's campaign has a long history of working with the LGBT community to move America forward," according to a press release issued by the campaign today. "The president believes that America prospers when we're all in it together; when hard work pays off and responsibility is rewarded; when everyone, from Main Street to Wall Street, does their fair share and plays by the same rules."
The Obama campaign's LGBT effort is "launching with trainings, phone banks and house parties in a number of states including Pennsylvania, Colorado, Nevada and Michigan. Grassroots LGBT volunteers will organize neighborhood by neighborhood and block by block, talking to their friends, family and coworkers," organizers say.
The campaign intends to remind LGBT voters that his administration has "made it a priority to advance equality for all Americans."
The argument: "From repealing Don't Ask Don't Tell, to signing the Hate Crime Prevention Act into law, to prohibiting discrimination based on gender identity in the federal government, LGBT Americans have seen more progress under the Obama Administration than ever before."
Will the Romney campaign have a response?
We'll update and have more details. Stay tuned.

Avian anxiety: If bird flu comes, fly!
The world needs to laugh a little more. Isn't laughter the best medicine? Elizabeth Taylor sang, "Send in the Clowns" (ouch, bad example!). Okay, Donald O'Connor sang, "Make 'Em Laugh" in Singing In The Rain. Do comedians use rubber chickens anymore, or am I dating myself to Steve Martin in the '70s? There's so much heartache and disease out there, but unfortunately, you can't even use a rubber chicken these days because of Avian influenza. Can chicken soup be deadly?
The World Health Organization has announced that Avian influenza is a public health crisis because we are pecking precariously close to the next pandemic (a furious widespread infection, e.g. The Plague). If Whoopi Goldberg said it to us, as she did in Ghost, she would look us straight in the eyes and say, "Girl, you's all in trouble!"
Avian influenza is nothing new– unfortunately. In the 20th Century, three influenza pandemics were due to viruses with an avian component (in 1918, 1957, and 1968). The pandemic of 1918 killed more people in one year than the Bubonic Plague.
When Avian influenza H5N1 was first identified in Hong Kong in 1997, 18 people were infected, half of whom ended up in the intensive care unit, and six of them died.
In 2004-2005, over 88 humans were infected with Avian influenza H5N1 virus, and 51 of them died. Avian influenza H5N1 tends to infect children and young adults, and young people tend to be healthy and strong, so this death toll shows how mean-spirited this virus is.
When does a bird virus become a human virus? When pigs fly– well, sort of. It appears that pigs can be infected with both human influenza and Avian influenza viruses, which can lead to a new, mutated influenza virus. In Asia, a lot of people live near pigs and poultry like that song from Oklahoma, "Chicks and ducks and geese better scurry"– especially when a pig comes by.
I know some people are considered to be pigs, but there is evidence recently of human-to-human transmission of the Avian influenza H5N1: Thailand, the Netherlands, British Columbia, Egypt– and most recently– Turkey. (We should have seen that coming!) The virus becomes airborne when someone coughs or sneezes, and nearby people inhale it. Bingo– they're infected!
One hundred percent of people with Avian influenza will have a high fever. Most people will have upper respiratory tract symptoms (sore throat, stuffy runny nose, ear congestion). Over half of people with Avian influenza develop pneumonia– one of the main reasons this flu is so deadly. Also, half of the people get nausea, abdominal discomfort, and liver enzymes elevations.
Sixteen percent have been reported to have bone marrow suppression, which means the immune system stops working, anemia occurs, and bleeding develops. Shelley Duvall had a better time in The Shining.
There's no easy way to make a true diagnosis of Avian influenza– it's kind of like trying to figure out if someone's Louis Vuitton bag is a knock-off. Unless we know there's an outbreak of Avian influenza, most people will be diagnosed with traditional flu, a cold, or even SARS. A blood test needs to be sent for viral culture or RT-PCR assay to diagnose Avian influenza H5N1, which can take days.
A vaccination is being worked on, but it won't likely be available this year, and we won't be sure if it will work (kind of like Windows) because the virus mutates. Tamiflu is the only medicine that appears to treat Avian influenza, but there is a severe shortage of this medication.
If there's an outbreak today, with no effective vaccine and limited stocks of Tamiflu, we can all say One Flu over the Cuckoo's Nest.
