Volodymyr Zelenskiy gathered a small group of advisers on May 7 in Kyiv for a meeting that was supposed to be about his nation's energy needs. Instead, the group spent most of the three-hour discussion talking about how to navigate the insistence from Trump and his personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani for a probe and how to avoid becoming entangled in... Europe's specialty food makers brace for US tariffs MILAN — European producers of premium specialty agricultural products like French wine, Italian Parmesan and Spanish olives are facing a U.S. tariff hike due Friday with a mix of trepidation and indignation at being dragged into a trade war they feel they have little to do with. The tariffs on $7.5 billion on a range of European goods were approved by the World Trade Organization as compensation for illegal EU subsidies to plane maker Airbus. The U.S. has some leeway in deciding what goods it puts tariffs on. So while it is taxing European aircraft goods an extra 10%, it... The Latest: British govt insists there is Brexit progress BRUSSELS — The Latest on Britain's plans to leave the European Union (all times local): 10 a.m. The British government says talks with the European Union are making progress, despite the lack of a breakthrough overnight. Prime Minister Boris Johnson's office says talks are resuming Wednesday after a "constructive" session that lasted late into the night in Brussels. Johnson is eager to strike a deal at an EU summit starting Thursday so the U.K. can leave the bloc in good order on the scheduled date of Oct. 31. But both sides say gaps remain over plans for maintaining an open... Bulgarian prime minister condemns soccer racism SOFIA, Bulgaria — Bulgarian Prime Minister Boyko Borissov condemned the racist behavior of his country's soccer fans on Tuesday, a day after the national team played England in a European Championship qualifying match. Local fans made Nazi salutes and directed monkey noises at the black players on England's national team. England won 6-0, but the match was halted twice in an effort to stop the abuse. "It is unacceptable that Bulgaria, one of the most tolerant countries in the world where people of different ethnicities live in peace, to be associated with racism and xenophobia," Borissov wrote in a post... Kosovo election winner in no rush to restart Serbia talks PRISTINA, Kosovo — A left-wing party leader poised to become Kosovo's next prime minister said Tuesday he isn't in any rush to restart formal talks intended to normalize relations with Serbia and won't lift the previous government's 100% tariff on Serb imports. In a general election held Sunday, Albin Kurti's Movement for Self-the Determination, or Vetevendosje, defeated center-right political groupings formed by former Kosovo Liberation Army fighters who had governed since 2007. Kosovo, a former Serbian province, declared independence in 2008, a decade after an insurrection by KLA fighters and Serbian strongman Slobodan Milosevic's bloody crackdown launched a 1998-99 war....

The Death-Defying Doctor Mirage #2 Reviews, Valiant Central, Valiant Comics By Jen Van Meter, Roberto De La Torre and David Baron There’s something eerie about this new Death-Defying Doctor Mirage series from Valiant. The dead world, spirits, demons, weird alien looking dudes, ectoplasm goo and so much more, but that might not even be what really makes it creepy. Roberto De La Torre and David Baron, pencils/ink and colors respectively, really amp up the creep-factor with heavy blacks and muted colors. This is most certainly a book that De La Torre was meant to draw and he does a great job of making it stand out from the rest of the Valiant pack with his own signature look and feel. David Baron also fits this book perfectly; his choices of colors really work with the book while also feeling different and unusual. It’s like he pulled out every color of the rainbow as the book progressed, and it just elevated the art to another level. But, of course, there’s still a large creepy factor from writer Jen Van Meter who sets it all up. Admittedly, there might be a second read of the first issue in the immediate future because it feels like issue two really jumped forward and it was a little confusing at first, but that could be attributed to the fact that the advance release of issue one was long before the physical release, so it could be a bit fuzzy. Regardless of any minimal confusion the book still reads well and in a similar fashion to the art guys, Van Meter really sets this book apart from the rest of the Valiant Universe. And to top it all off, by the end of the book she has you scrambling for the next issue with one, simple speech bubble. The Death-Defying Doctor Mirage is not your average Valiant book, and while it seems to be a bit on the outside looking in at books like X-O Manowar and Bloodshot simply because it is so different, it’s still something that demands your attention. DDDM will undoubtedly tie into the rest of the Valiant Universe after the first arc, as was the trend with all the initial launches, which will certainly help with exposure and getting this character more time with readers who might have skipped over the launch. As it stands now, not enough people seem to be checking this book out and that’s a damn shame because there’s definitely something special happening in this corner of the Valiant Universe.

Books to Add to Your Guy-Brary Real Talk Publishing Ultimate Reading List Teenreads Newsletter Dove Arising (Dove Chronicles) by Karen Bao Dove Arising is about a girl named Phaet (pronounced fate) who lives on the moon. When her mother is taken away, she must do what she can to protect her family. This leads her on an adventure to join the military to get her mother back. DOVE ARISING was great; it was enjoyable and fun. It initially seems to have a bland plotline, but as the story progresses, readers realize there is a larger plotline at work. It starts slow and it took a long time before the novel actually started going anywhere. However, once it did, it definitely didn’t disappoint. Once readers reach the climactic chaos, they’ll be begging for a sequel! I also thought it was interesting that there wasn’t any romance --- that’s quite unique for young adult stories. The characters were great, and Karen Bao did an excellent job making all of the characters seem like full humans. I especially enjoyed Phaet. She was not a kick-butt girl like in most YA novels; instead, she felt like a normal human that was thrust into an intense situation. It was very convincing and relatable. She was a soft-spoken girl with a lot of thoughts in her mind, so I was glad the novel was in first person point of view. I’m really excited to see the how Phaet develops in the future. Karen Bao did an excellent job making all of the characters seem like full humans. I also thought that the world building in DOVE ARISING was pretty good. I really loved the military training scenes; they were vivid, clear and really well executed. I wanted to know more about the civilization on the moon, though. Readers only had Phaet’s city to compare it to, and I wanted to know what else there was. The society in DOVE ARISING moved to the moon for a better opportunity, but the book never mentions how terrible Earth really is or what it is like --- it’s all speculation. I hope future installments in the series expand on the world, because it could be very promising…this potential makes me want to get a hold of the next book really badly. After reading this book, I had a lot of questions and not enough answers, so I can’t call it “outstanding.” However, I still felt like it was really enjoyable, and I appreciated all of the twists. I’m definitely going to continue on with the series --- I’m really intrigued by what is going to happen to Phaet!

GDPR & What It Means For Researchers (recorded LIBER webinar, 2018) The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) comes into effect on 25 May, 2018. To take your privacy seriously and to protect your personal information, many organisations have updated their privacy policies and procedures (see, e.g., CIFOR/CGIAR Research Center Privacy Policy and Terms of Use) bringing them in line with the GDPR by providing specific details on certain data processing activities (e.g., 'Terms of Use', 'Privacy Policies', 'Cookies Policy', 'Right to Control Your Data', 'Right to Access Your Data', 'Opt-in Consent'). The European Parliament adopted the GDPR in April 2016, replacing an outdated data protection directive from 1995. It carries provisions that require businesses to protect the personal data and privacy of EU citizens for transactions that occur within EU member states. The GDPR also regulates the exportation of personal data outside the EU. GDPR has raised also the standard required of researchers handling personal data. For researchers, it is not only essential to be aware of and to follow the best practices in their field or discipline, but also to identify the appropriate legal basis for data processing. During the recent LIBER webinar on GDPR and implications for researchers, speakers Maria Rehbinder (Senior Legal Counsel at Aalto University and Certified Information Privacy Professional) and Marlon Domingus (Data Protection Officer at Erasmus University Rotterdam) took a look at how GDPR relates to research data management. The focus is on the lawful bases for processing data (in particular Article 6.1e) and protections for ‘academic expression’ as outlined in Article 85 of the GDPR. Researchers will need GDPR compliant data management plans and/or arrangements in order to meet the other data processing and security principles. Researchers will also need to ensure that they supply all information required by Article 13 and Article 14 to research participants, explaining how participants personal data will be used in the project.

HomeFeesService AreaEventsContact Me Over 25 years of professional bagpiping services to all of Minnesota, North Dakota & NW Ontario Canada. Brian Solum Professional Bagpiping I started piping in 1993 with the Macalester College Pipe Band in St. Paul, MN. After relocating to Bemidji in 1999 I formed the 1st City Pipe Band, which eventually dissolved in 2005, and simultaneously assisted the Fort Frances Highlanders in Ontario, Canada. These days I am back touring and competeing with Macalester's G3 Band under PM Mike Breidenbach. Over the course of my piping endeavor I have received instruction from some of the most reknown solo pipers in the world including Alasdair Gillies, James McIntosh, John Cairns, and Jake Watson. I have played at numerous private functions and public events throughout MN, ND and NW Ontario. I have also performed with many local and head-line bands such as A Prairie Home Companion w/ Garrison Kiellor, Celtic Crossing, Ceilidh, Seven Nations, Wookie Foot, Rod Stewart and in February 2010 I was invited to play with The Chieftains, the foremost Irish Folk band in the world. Venues I have performed at include the Chief Theater, Exel Center in St. Paul and Orchestra Hall in Minneapolis, MN and in 2006 I led the send off for the US Mens & Womens Olympic Curling Team to the Olympics in Torin, Italy. Call or email to book your event today! brian@bagpipebrian.com Our Father recently passed away. Before he passed he asked for a bagpipe to be played at the service. Everyone in the family knew the right person for the ceremony was Brian…including Father. After all Brian had played for our Mother’s service just four years earlier…and left little doubt then that he could deliver an outstanding performance. Our Father was a Veteran and was receiving a full military service. Brian not only delivered a beautiful piece at the chapel…he played the Army and Air Force songs and finished the cemetery service with Amazing Grace. Thank you Brian…you are a true talent and a true professional. ~ The Tuttle Family – Alexandria, MN Bagpipe Brian 2014

Co-rapporteurs encourage the Ukrainian authorities to continue and further the reform process in the country Following their visit to Kyiv, the two co-rapporteurs for Ukraine of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE), Mailis Reps (Estonia, ALDE) and Jean-Claude Mignon (France, EPP/CD), have encouraged the authorities to continue and further the important reforms that are needed for the country. They welcomed the legislative package for reforming the judiciary but, as on previous occasions, highlighted the fact that constitutional changes are needed to allow for the implementation of these reforms and to ensure the genuine independence of the judiciary. “Constitutional reforms are the cornerstone of all reform in Ukraine, but the time-frame to adopt Constitutional amendments is getting smaller,” pointed out the co-rapporteurs. They noted that the Constitutional amendments foreseen in February’s Minsk agreement need to be adopted in the first instance by mid-June this year. “Regrettably this is too short a time-frame to prepare and adopt a comprehensive constitutional reform package. The authorities should now focus on adopting the judicial and decentralisation chapters in June. However, the other chapters should be elaborated immediately after that,” they said. The co-rapporteurs took note of the work on a new local election code and expressed their hope that the adoption of such a law would take place in the very near future. “The next local elections are scheduled to take place in October. These elections are crucial to ensure local authorities that have the legitimacy to implement the decentralisation process. In addition, the conduct of genuinely democratic elections, under Ukrainian law, in the territories of Luhansk and Donetsk – areas that are currently not under the control of the government in Kyiv – will provide the authorities with legitimate counterparts to implement the Minsk agreements. These local elections cannot therefore be postponed to a later stage, as some have suggested,” emphasised the co-rapporteurs. While expressing their concern at the fragile nature and continuing violations of the ceasefire agreement, the co-rapporteurs welcomed the focus given by the Trilateral Contact group and Normandy format Ministers of Foreign Affairs to strengthening the political process agreed upon in Minsk, including the setting up of the working groups, to which they believe the Council of Europe and its Assembly can make an important contribution. During their visit the co-rapporteurs discussed the Lustration Law as well as the concerns expressed in the recent interim opinion of the Venice Commission on this law. Noting that the lustration process is on-going, the rapporteurs called on the authorities to promptly adopt the promised amendments to this law with a view to addressing the remaining concerns and recommendation of the Venice Commission. The co-rapporteurs will return to the country in May this year and visit Kharkiv, Dnipropetrovsk and possibly Mariupol, in addition to Kyiv.

LONDON: EAT SEE PLAY SHOP SLEEP TIPS OUT OF TOWN Shoreditch – A Guide to the Area We love East London and one of our favourite neighbourhoods is Shoreditch. It’s full of cool cafes, artsy galleries colourful graffiti around every corner and of course the famous Brick Lane market. There’s so much to see and do in this fun part of town so why not explore the area with our extensive guide to the coolest local spots. Story Deli (6 Calvert Avenue, London, E2 7JP) — One of London’s best kept secrets has now moved to a new home in Calvert Avenue. The pizzas are still just as crispy and delicious and the pared back, effortlessly cool interior still looks so fresh and unique. Definitely one of the best pizzas in London. Albion (2-4 Boundary Street, London, E2 7DD) — On the ground floor of the beautiful Boundary Hotel, Albion is a favourite amongst locals. Its breakfasts and bakery counter never disappoint. Lyles (56 Shoreditch High Street, London E1 6JJ) –The much talked about Lyles restaurant in the famous Tea Building serves up seasonal British dishes with a twist. Lunches are a la carte but evenings are a single set price menu, it’s popular so booking is essential. Pizza Purist (Elys Yard, Old Truman Brewery, Brick Lane) — One of the most popular food trucks in the Old Truman Brewery. Authentic sourdough pizzas cooked in an enormous wood fired stone oven that was actually shipped over from Italy. Delicious and perfect for a quick and easy bite. Flat Iron (77 Curtain Road, London, EC2A 3BS) — Steak and chips done perfectly. Simple, well cooked and delicious. Dum Dums (Unit 31 Box Park, 2-10 Bethnal Green Road, London, E1 6GY) — We all agreed that these were the most delicious doughnuts we have ever tasted. They are baked rather than fried so are far healthier. You can also get crones (croissant doughnut ice creams) with a selection of fillings. So good!! Smokestack (35 Sclater Street, London, E1 6LB) — After building up a cult following with its street food stall in Dalston Smokestack has now opened a bricks and mortar restaurant serving “grown up BBQ food”. The food is seriously tasty and a step up from the usual BBQ fare. The outside tables are also a great spot to watch the comings and goings of the market. Luna and Curious (24-26 Calvert Avenue, London, E27JP) — A cheerful kids and womenswear shop on one of the prettiest streets in the neighbourhood. Featuring many British made designs as well as their in-house designed knitwear in bright, bold colours. They also sell a fun selection of toys and books and some lovely jewellery for Mum. Good Hood (151 Curtain Road, London, EC2A 3QE) — One of our favourite shops in London, this place is a one stop shop for unique stylish homewares, stationary, gadgets and fashion. SCP (135-139 Curtain Road, London, EC2A 3BX) — British modernist design at its best, selling everything from furniture to jewellery and a really fun selection of kids toys too. Search and Destroy (20 Cheshire Street, London, E2 6EH) — Vintage clothing stores can be found on every street corner in Shoreditch but Search and Destroy feels that little bit different. Here you’ll find a carefully sourced selection of unique and beautiful pieces. Such as pretty embroidered Oaxacan dresses and hand stitched leather satchels. Such a charming store. Labour and Wait (85 Redchurch Street, London, E2 7DJ) — Selling a quirky selection of timeless functional products this is one of those stores that you could browse for hours. Everything is beautifully made and has a wonderfully nostalgic feel. Le Labo (61 Redchurch Street, London, E2 7DJ) — Bespoke perfumes, freshly blended in personalised bottles. The smell of this place alone is worth a visit. Box park (2-10 Bethnal Green Road, London E1 6GY) — Boxpark describes itself as the worlds first pop up mall. Shops are housed inside a complex of repurposed shipping containers, all linked together beneath a giant street food market. Such a clever and unique idea to showcase up and coming independent brands. Dark Sugars Chocolates (141 Brick Lane, London, E1 6SB) — This incredible chocolate shop has to be seen to be believed. We always drop in here for a tasty treat whenever we are in the area. Set up by a Ghanaian lady who spent years travelling South America and West Africa in search of the perfect cocoa. Its a chocolate lovers dream and well worth a visit. V&A Museum of Childhood (Cambridge Heath Road, London, E2 9PA) — There is no where else quite like this wonderful museum! It’s home to one of the largest collections of children’s toys and games in the world, including some of the world’s most beautiful doll’s houses from times gone by. Children will love seeing toys that their parents and grandparents grew up playing with and I guarantee you’ll leave feeling more than a little nostalgic too. Check out their website for up to date information on their extensive range of family activities and events. Barber and Parlour (64-66 Redchurch Street, London, E2 7DP) — This cavernous old warehouse on the corner of Redchurch street is Soho House’s newest concept in male and female grooming. Not only do they serve excellent coffee in their laid back ground floor cafe but the beauty treatments here are fast and surprisingly cheap too. Spitalfields Market (Brushfield Street, London, E1 6AA) — Market traders have been coming to Spitalfields for over 350 to sell their wares. Where fruit and vegetables once stood, London’s oldest market today now showcases everything from art and crafts to fashion and food. As well as market stalls you’ll also find a great choice of restaurants and shops. The Old Truman Brewery and Brick Lane Market (Brick Lane, London, E1 6QR) — With almost every street food stall you can think of Brick Lane and the Truman Brewery are a foodie’s heaven. You can also find vintage goods, art and fashion inside the Truman Brewery’s various indoor markets. Columbia Road Flower Market (Columbia Road, London, E2 7RG) — The famous Columbia Road Flower market is such a fun and colourful experience. Every Sunday the whole street comes to life with the buzz of market traders and the vibrant sights and scents of the of flower stalls. You can pick up some great bargains too so take plenty of empty shopping bags. Regents Canal — Take a stroll along the peaceful and picturesque Regents Canal with its colourful houseboats and quirky cafes and restaurants scattered along the towpath.

Comment on this feature | Email this feature | Printer-friendly version News :: Organizing Local Hondurans and Supporters Demand Return of Democracy in Honduras at City Hall Rally by Jason Pramas Email: jpramas (nospam) igc.org 06 Jul 2009 BOSTON/Government Center - Over 25 immigrant, labor, and religious advocates - some of them Honduran - held a brief protest between rain storms at City Hall against the military coup in Honduras this week and demanded that deposed President Manuel Zaleya be returned to power immediately. LISTEN TO LIVE AUDIO REPORTS FROM HONDURAS: http://radio.indybay.org/honduras.m3u Zeleya was flown to Costa Rica at gunpoint on Sunday and left there. The military coup was swiftly condemned by the Organization of American States and the United Nations - and by many expatriate Hondurans. "We condemn what happened in Honduras and we demand the restoration of institutional order in the country," said Angel "Tito" Meza, coordinator of the Honduran Project. "The Honduran people were getting ready to exercise their sacred duty to vote in a referendum that called for an assembly that would reform the constitution." Patricia Montes of Centro Presente elaborated, " The tactics used by those behind this coup are the same as in the past - a media control strategy that diffuses propaganda and stifles independent reporting. Including the harassment and incarceration of reporters. Many leaders of the military, including the chief of the armed forces, Romeo Orlando Vasquez Velasquez, graduated from the School of the Americas where these tactics were taught." "We do not recognize the legitimacy of the de facto government and we demand the restitution of constitutional and democratic order in Honduras. It is very important that democratic processes are respected in our countries of origin, to secure the political, economic and social well being of our people and minimize the pressures that cause them to migrate in search of economic opportunity and freedom." The event was peaceful and there was no police presence. REPOSTED FROM: Open Media Boston http://www.openmediaboston.org/node/769 This work licensed under a

Buddhapuss Ink Linda S. Browning Faye Rapoport DesPres Ellie Dias Sam Hilliard Martie Odell Ingebretsen Mariam Kobras Mystery Times Series Contact Us and our Privacy Policy from the Publisher's desk I can't say it's been the best of years, nor has it been the worst of years. I'll settle for, it's been a year. Looking back on 2011, Buddhapuss Ink started the year with the discovery of a wonderful new author, Mariam Kobras. We think she will have a long and successful publishing future with us. Midyear saw the success of our first YA anthology writing competition, Mystery Times Ten 2011 which hit the Amazon Bestseller lists in paperback and in kindle! The Last Track, by Sam Hilliard - the first book we published - continued to get great reviews and lots of notice. Sam is hard at work on the next Mike Brody mystery now. 2011 saw changes in how we operate as a company, and in our vision for the future. One thing that didn't change though, was our commitment to finding new authors, and helping them grow their writing careers. With that in mind, we carefully planned our 2012 list. First up, Mariam Kobras: Her debut book, The Distant Shore will release on January 17th, 2012. A great way to start the New Year. This is the first book in her Stone Trilogy. May 2012 will see the publication of Mystery Times Ten 2012. We look forward to what we hope will be a long line of YA anthologies coming from this annual writing competition. September 2012, well, you'll have to wait a bit to see, but we have something coming out that I think a lot of people will be eager to read. October 2012 will see the first of our adult Fiction writing competition anthologies - Flash Fiction Favorites. Watch here for more details in the coming weeks. Two years ago, when Buddhapuss Ink was just an idea some friends were kicking around over coffee, I had no idea just how much work would be involved in the day-to-day care and feeding of this fledgling company. I also didn't know how much I would love being at the helm. Now that our list is finally starting to take shape and grow, I'm excited to see what the next year has in store for us, and more importantly, for you - our readers. MaryChris E-book Sales Rose 81% in October E-book sales rose 81.2% in October, to $72.8 million, at the 20 publishers who supply e-book figures to the Association of American Publishers monthly sales report. The 81% increase was the first time this year that e-book sales did not double over the same month in 2010. For the first 10 months of the year, e-book sales were up 131.1%, to $807.7 million. Religious sales were up in the month at reporting houses, increasing 12.4%, but sales in the other print trade segments were down. Once again, the mass market paperback segment took a major hit, with sales falling 37.6% at reporting houses and sales in the segment were off 33.7% for the year to date. The trade paperback segment has a weak month, with sales down 16.9% and adult hardcover sales fell 7.8%. Children’s hardcover performed marginally better, with sales down 7.3% in October, while children’s paperback segment sales fell 2.4%. Downloadable audio sales increased 15.6% at reporting companies, while sales of physical audiobooks rose 0.1%. *From PW Daily Print Book Sales on the Rise Since Thanksgiving, But Trail 2010 Thanksgiving weekend may draw lots of media coverage about holiday sales, but book sales of print titles have been trending upward every week since the start of the holiday shopping season. According to Nielsen BookScan, sales of print books in the stores it covers totaled 12.0 million the week ending November 27 and then jumped to 15.5 million units the week ending December 4. The following week, units rose again, to 18.6 million, and increased 26% the week of December 18, to 23.4 million. Compared to the same week in 2010, unit sales the week of December 18 were down 14%, with the closing of Borders and the growth of e-book sales likely the two biggest factors in the decline. During the last week, print backlist was doing better than frontlist, with backlist sales down 9% compared to a year ago and frontlist off 19%. * From PW Daily Buddhapuss weighs in - "Call me crazy, but buying ebooks as gifts for friends and family is a little less than satisfying, and if you are unsure just what type of ereader they own, it can be difficult as well as confusing. On the plus side - there's fewer gifts to wrap and on the negative side - well, there's fewer gifts to un-wrap too. Just my opinion but I think when it comes to gift-giving, the print book is going to prevail for a while longer as the present of choice." Borders Creditors to Get About 10 Cents on the Dollar Judith Rosen With this morning's court approval of Borders's liquidation plan and the sale of its Kobo interest and IP addresses, publishers will do better than expected in terms of recouping their losses with the bankrupt chain. While Borders originally anticipated paying 4¢ to 10¢ on the dollar to creditors, it will likely be at the high end and could even exceed that, according to attorney Andrew Glenn. There is expected to be a claim recovery pool of between $80 million to $90 million in funds to pay creditors. In fact much of the hearing was taken up with Kobo, which alone will bring in $27million to $32 million, assuming that lawyers can prevent a tax bite that could be as large as $10 million. Borders's agreement with Next Jump was also approved and the Court gave preliminary approval to the Pinsker settlement. The latter paves the way for a mid-February Fairness hearing and distribution to workers in the company's Michigan facility, who filed for moneys owed under the WARN motion. Now that the liquidation is just about complete, Judge Martin Glenn took the opportunity to thank the attorneys for both Borders and the Creditors Committee. "I think you've all worked cooperatively in difficult circumstances," he said. "You've all worked rapidly which has maximized the estate, and as in the Kobo sale, the stars were aligned." Yes Virgina, we have been playing with our website! Well, sometimes a cat just can't leave well enough alone. Yarn, catnip, and websites can be like that! So, yes, we have been working on it and yes, it might look a little rocky until we get all the lumps and bumps worked out but. in the end it will be a better site. We hope a few momentary problems and glitches won't keep you from checking in with us there. Thanks & cheers! ~The Webmaster Cat http://www.BuddhapussInk.com World Book Night People who want to volunteer to help give away books on World Book Night can apply at this link. Carl Lennertz says: "I most definitely want booksellers, librarians, authors, bloggers, agents, and publishing folks in the mix, partly because so many have said they want to, partly because all those parties have a stake in reading and books. We're looking for people who want to share their excitement about books and how a love of reading expands and enriches our experience of life." Buddhapuss Ink will be out there, will you? Let us know if you will be participating in this worthy cause. October Bookstore Sales Fell 6.6% After posting surprisingly large gains in August and September--likely fueled in part by Borders's going-out-of business sales--bookstore sales fell 6.6% in October, to $886 million, according to preliminary estimates released Tuesday morning by the U.S. Census Bureau. Despite the drop in October, bookstore sales for the first 10 months of 2011 were up 2.0%, to $12.91 billion. For all of retail, October sales rose 7.2% and were up 8.0% in the January-October period. Amazon Backlash Continues to Build By Judith Rosen For many booksellers, tomorrow’s discounts of up to $15 for using Amazon’s price check app is the last straw. Although the app does not apply to books, it does affect bookstore sidelines like toys, music, and DVDs, and it adds to a perception that bricks-and-mortar bookstores grossly overcharge. The app also comes on top of data that customers regularly scan books with their smart phones and then order discounted copies directly from Amazon, or even use the bookstore’s free Wi-Fi to download Kindle e-books to their devices. The latter caused Diesel Bookstore, which has stores in Oakland, Malibu, and Brentwood, to produce free Occupy Amazon buttons and coasters that picture Amazon founder Jeff Bezos wearing devil horns. Yesterday’s open letter to Bezos from American Booksellers Association CEO Oren Teicher was a bit more tempered. “We’re not shocked, just disappointed,” he wrote. “Despite your company’s recent pledge to be a better corporate citizen and to obey the law and collect sales tax, you created a price-check app that allows shoppers to browse Main Street stores that do collect sales tax, scan a product, ask for expertise, and walk out empty-handed in order to buy on Amazon. We suppose we should be flattered that an online sales behemoth needs a Main Street retail showroom. Forgive us if we’re not.” Other retailers were downright angry. On New England Cable News, David Didriksen, president of Willow Books & Cafe in Acton, Mass., and a member of the board of the Retailers Association of Massachusetts, called it “another in a long series of predatory practices by Amazon. You would think that a company of that size would be willing to just live and let live for small retailers who can’t possibly affect them. But, no, they want it all.” Bookworks in Albuquerque, N.M., is fighting back with a sale to encourage people to show there are alternatives to the Amazon offer. On December 10, customers will receive 15% off their purchases of everything except event tickets, event books, and gift certificates. "We can't compete with Amazon on price, and we are not even trying, says owner Wyatt Wegryzn. "We understand though why shopping on Amazon is so tempting for people, especially in this tough economy. So we want to say 'thanks' to our customers for shopping with us." How the price app will affect holiday sales for independents just two weeks before Christmas is anyone’s guess. As for his relationship with his colleagues on Main Street, Bezos has never been known for being interested in winning friends. What's Next on the Publication List?

Posts by Topic: Brighton RSS feed Heaven Fest venue change comments By Liz Somers Heaven Fest organizers are expecting 30,000 fans to the July 31 event and are looking for a new space, specifically Longmont’s Union Reservoir. But the Christian music festival is generating some backlash from local residents. Here’s a link to the story that appeared in Monday’s Post and on denverpost.com. What I find interesting is the comments. Check them out. Some are because of the Christian content, others are about the site. Some just show how unaware people are of Christian rock, such as The Fray comment. Do they know that The Fray started by playing in Denver metro area churches? If you are one of those unacquainted with this genre, check out Skillet, TobyMac, Switchfoot, Decyfer Down, Red. Just to name a few. Comments Off on Heaven Fest venue change comments Heaven Fest 2010: July 31 [photopress:people1.JPG,full,pp_image] It was a sea of faces at Heaven Fest 2009. Photo by Eliza Marie Somers Mark your calendars for Saturday, July 31. That is the day Heaven Fest will make its return in 2010. Last year, the outdoor Christian music festival in Brighton drew more than 25,000 fans. Organizers were ready to turn away fans at 2:35 p.m., but with the help of a local farmer who allowed the use of his property, the festival continued to grow. You can vote for which bands you would like to see at this year’s event. And keep an eye on this site for an announcement of the lineup. Comments Off on Heaven Fest 2010: July 31 Skillet’s “Monster” No. 1 on AOL music [photopress:Skillet_HFest_2009.JPG,full,pp_image] Skillet, playing at HeavenFest in Brighton, is finding success with “Monster.” Photo by Eliza Marie Somers Skillet, the hard-rocking Christian music band, garnered the No. 1 ranked video on AOL Music. In case you missed the band at HeavenFest. Check out the video . HeavenFest: Can you spot yourself? [photopress:caspergirls.JPG,full,pp_image] Shelby Bennett, 18, left, and Michelle Archuleta, 17, drove down from Casper, Wyo., to enjoy a weekend of music — first at HeavenFest on Saturday and at the Warped Tour on Sunday. The music fans were up front and center for one of their favorite bands, Kutless. Photos by Eliza Marie Somers Comments Off on HeavenFest: Can you spot yourself? Skillet “melts” fan’s face off [photopress:skillet3.JPG,full,pp_image] Skillet lead singer John Cooper and the band highlight HeavenFest with an energetic performance not seen since TobyMac came to town. Photos by Eliza Marie Somers Skillet rocked the house this past weekend at HeavenFest at Northern Hills Christian Church in Brighton, enlisting a celloist and violinist for its latest gig and showing the crowd classical string musicians can head-bang with the best. The Tennessee-based band lit up the crowd of close to 40,000 fans with “Comatose,” “Whispers in the Dark,” “The Last Night” and its new single “Monster.” Keyboardist Korey Cooper, who took up the guitar only a few years ago, stole the stage by showing off her true rocker side with wild licks on the axe while dancing around the stage. As one young fan said, “She rocked so hard she melted my face off.” [photopress:skilletgal1.JPG,full,pp_image] Korey Cooper Lead singer and bassist John Cooper took it down a notch with a power ballad with Disciple’s Kevin Young as they sang Bon Jovi “I’ll Be There For You.” Drummer Jen Ledger took a break from behind the skins for a little solo work and guitarist Ben Kasica was no slouch firing up the left-side of the stage with his skill. Not since TobyMac hit town with his Winter Jam tour last November has Denver’s Christian music scene been stood on its ear. 40,000 at HeavenFest [photopress:fans1.JPG,full,pp_image] Fans converge at HeavenFest at Northern Hills Christian Church in Brighton on Saturday. Official numbers will not known until later this week. Photo by Eliza Marie Somers HeavenFest in Brighton drew close to 40,000 fans this weekend, according to a Brighton police officer at the site. The Christian music festival at Northern Hills Christian Church exceeded organizers’ expectations so much so they enlisted the help of a neighboring farmer, who allowed overflow parking on his land. If not for his kindness organizers said they would have had to turn away fans. Comments Off on 40,000 at HeavenFest Third Day headlines HeavenFest [photopress:DSCF0293.JPG,full,pp_image] Mac Powell and Third Day are back in town at Saturday’s HeavenFest in Brighton. Tickets can be purchased at King Soopers or heavenfest.com. Photos by Eliza Marie Somers Grammy Award winners Third Day will headline this weekend’s HeavenFest at Northern Hills Church in Brighton. The festival features 80 bands on eight stages along with interactive areas. Below is a story on Third Day when it played a charity event for Cherry Hills Community Church. Faith and fame. That’s what Third Day has accumulated in nearly 18 years of performing in front of small church groups to large arena and stadium audiences. But it’s not the fame and money that has kept this three-time Grammy-winning band together. “Friendships” is what acoustic guitarist Mike Lee says is the glue to this band that has its roots in Atlanta. Comments Off on Third Day headlines HeavenFest Former addict fronts Seventh Day Slumber [photopress:7thDaySlumber_1.JPG,full,pp_image] Joseph Rojas, center, tried to commit suicide while a cocaine addict. Today he is the lead singer for Seventh Day Slumber, which will perform at Heavenfest on Saturday at Northern Hills Church in Brighton. Photo by Eliza Marie Somers, The Denver Post Alcoholics, drug addicts, liars, robbers, people who aimlessly wander the streets. We all have known someone like this, and if not, we’ve hurriedly walked past people begging in the shadows of our existence. Joseph Rojas, lead singer for Seventh Day Slumber, was one of those people. By age 14, he was using cocaine, and by the time he was 22, he had a $400-a-day cocaine habit. That habit put him on the brink of death. This is his story, a story he will bring to Heavenfest on Saturday (noon-10 p.m.) at Brighton’s Northern Hills Church, and it’s much better story in his own words. “I’m a work in progress,” said Rojas, 35. “I make a lot of mistakes still, and I’m not where I want to be in my relationship with God, but I’m nowhere near where I was.” Where he was, was on his mother’s floor having a heart attack, trying to commit suicide.

Literary Studies Catalogue Mad Men, the most literary show on television? By Blog Admin | March 27, 2012 As mentioned previously on this blog, we are big fans of all things Americana and in particular, the television phenomenon that is Mad Men. So much so, that we put together our own literary guide to Mad Men on this blog last week. But we are not the only ones, the Daily Telegraph have also spotted the literary merits of Mad Men declaring it 'one of the most literary television shows of recent times'. 'For a start, its style is markedly less cinematic than the other big American series of the current golden age. The settings are mostly interiors and the dialogue is deliberately theatrical — as creator Matthew Weiner has said, elevated rather than natural and without any of the overlapping speech used to denote realism in shows like the West Wing. More importantly, within those celebrated Sixties trappings, this is a series that’s always concerned with, and sometimes explicitly refers to, several recurring and often timeless themes in American literature. Take the town where the main character Don Draper lived in the first three series. Of all New York suburbs in which a mysterious but unfailingly charismatic advertising executive could have tucked away his family, the one chosen by Weiner was Ossining: from 1961 until his death in 1982, the home of John Cheever. Dubbed “the Chekhov of the suburbs” or, more extravagantly, “the Ovid of Ossining”, Cheever was, even before Updike, the first American writer to establish the now-familiar literary picture of suburban frustration, status anxiety and marriages cracking under the strain of their own unrealistic expectations. In a 2009 article on Cheever, The New York Times listed the main themes of his work as “secrecy, doubleness, sorrow, the comforts of sex, the perils of alcohol, the suddenness and fleetingness of joy” — which, as a 17-word summary of Don Draper’s life, is pretty hard to beat. As for a 10-worder, how about this from The New Yorker a few months earlier: “He is both a rank escapist and a conservative pragmatist”? That’s the critic James Wood describing “midcentury American suburban man” as depicted in Revolutionary Road by Cheever’s fellow suburbanite (and alcoholic) Richard Yates — a book that Weiner is known to have handed out to the Mad Men cast to help them understand the social background…’ In our last Mad Men blog post we wondered whether this series will reveal more about the mysterious Don Draper? Harry Crane remarks in the third episode of the series, ‘Draper? Who knows anything about that guy? No one’s ever lifted that rock. He could be Batman for all we know.’ Flashbacks to the Korean War reveal much – as is picked up by the Telegraph: ‘ As almost everybody knows by now — although it took his wife Betty three series — Don isn’t Don at all. He’s a prostitute’s child called Dick Whitman, who stole the identity of a dead fellow soldier in Korea. (More obsessive spotters of literary references might have noticed that the real Don was buried in a town called Bunbury, the name used to signify a double life in The Importance of Being Earnest.) In The Human Stain, where the main character, Coleman Silk, is a black man “passing” as white, Philip Roth claims this kind of reinvention as another great American tradition — “the democratic invitation to throw your origins overboard if to do so contributes to the pursuit of happiness”. Not only that, but the most famous literary example of this, from 1926, is another obvious influence on Mad Men. Like Dick Whitman, F Scott Fitzgerald’s Jimmy Gatz is from a poor Midwestern background, becomes a decorated war hero, and finally makes it in New York under a different name — in his case, Jay Gatsby.’ Moving to the female characters of the show and the stirrings of 60’s feminism (another key aspect of the show discussed in our literary guide), the Telegraph highlight that: 'The Twenties are often seen as the last blast of American hedonism before Depression and war put fun on hold until the Mad Men era. Yet, they were also a revolutionary decade for women, particularly in New York, as they daringly smoked, drank and slept around. At the same time, the pattern familiar from Mad Men was also put in place: married men had their wives in the suburbs and their mistresses in the city. It’s a period that’s tellingly chronicled by the likes of Dorothy Parker and Edna St Vincent Millay, both of whom wrote mainly from the perspective of the mistress: sometimes defiantly, sometimes with a kind of breezy ruefulness and sometimes with a much darker awareness of the emotional cost. All three attitudes are shared by Peggy in Mad Men, who began as a secretary in episode one and has been working her way up ever since, all the while trying to shake off her Catholic Brooklyn background and become a proper Manhattan girl. ‘ But what about the very image of America in Mad Men itself? ‘Every now and then, usually to something of a media fanfare, a British writer produces what’s still called a Condition of England novel. There is, by contrast, virtually no big American novel that doesn’t tackle the condition of America. (Or as Martin Amis once put it, “every ambitious American novelist is trying to write a novel called USA”.) In the end, needless to say, this is also Mad Men’s overriding interest. The big events are all there — from the Cuban missile crisis to the assassination of JFK. So, too, is the unease about the failure of the American dream for people like Betty Draper and Don’s ambitious colleague Pete Campbell, who’ve obeyed all the rules, but don’t seem to be getting the promised rewards — especially the happiness part.’ That has certainly opened up my eyes and literary understanding of the show. Are there any other literary allusions that you have spotted? We'd love to hear them. You can read the full Daily Telegraph article here.

We, the undersigned organizations, condemn this excessive use of force employed by security forces over the weekend during the procession. We call on the security forces to halt their excessive use of force against mourners and peaceful protestors and to allow freedom of movement during funeral proceedings without fear of being attacked. Mustafa Hamdan died on 24 March at Salmaniya Medical Complex, two months after masked, plainclothes security forces shot him in the head with live ammunition from close range, rendering him comatose. Hamdan was 18 years-old. Security forces shot Hamdan on 26 January as they attacked demonstrators at a peaceful sit-in in Diraz in the middle of the night. Though he was taken to the Bahrain International Hospital, the hospital refused to admit him. His brother took him to Salmaniya Hospital, where security forces awaited them. Because he did not receive the care he needed, he died after falling into a coma. The police’s actions amount to an extrajudicial killing due to their excessive use of force against peaceful demonstrators without trial, judge, or jury. The Bahraini government has neither admitted responsibility, nor initiated an investigation to hold the perpetrators of his shooting accountable. Hamdan’s funeral was held over the weekend of 25 March and attended by thousands of people. Security forces attacked the funeral, firing tear gas and birdshot pellets at the mourners. Among those hit by the police’s excessive use of force was Mazen Mahdi, a photojournalist. He was targeted with tear gas despite wearing a press vest. Police shot Mahdi with a tear gas canister that hit him on his hand. Witnesses report that a security force-fired tear gas canister was shot into crowd of mourners and caused a woman to faint from excessive tear gas inhalation. Another mourner sustained an eye injury. Photojournalist Mazen Mahdi was injured while covering the funeral. The Bahraini government has previously attacked peaceful demonstrators and mourners with birdshot, teargas, and live ammunition. Indeed, Mustafa Hamdan was the victim of such excessive force. The Bahrain Center for Human Rights (BCHR), which regularly documents marches, reported that 68 marches took place around the country during the previous week. Riot police attacked 12 marches, injuring eight people with shotgun bullets. BCHR documented eight injuries from shotgun pellets. Sayed Ahmed Alwadei, Director of Advocacy, BIRD: “The fact that the security forces attacked the funeral march of a man they killed shows how deep the culture of impunity goes in Bahrain. Mustafa Hamdan’s death is a call to action for the international community, especially Bahrain’s allies in London and Washington, to hold Bahrain accountable.” Said Yousif Al-Muhafdha, Vice-President, BCHR: “The failure of the Bahraini authorities to open an investigation into the shooting of demonstrator Mustafa Hamdan and punish the culprit contributes greatly to the spread of impunity in Bahrain and protects the violators. We note the utter disregard for a crime of this magnitude, despite the fact that 50 days have passed since the shooting, and the authorities have taken no steps to punish the perpetrators.” Bahraini security forces have attacked funeral processions before. On 21 May 2014, security forces attacked the funeral procession of Ali Faisal al-Akrawi, killing 14-year-old Sayed Mahmood Mohsen Ahmed. BCHR documented that two officers shot Sayed Mahmood in the chest with shotguns from three meters away. Police officers surrounded him and continued to shoot him. A hospital pronounced him dead upon arrival. On 15 February 2011, police attacked the funeral of Ali Abdulhadi Mushaima, the first victim of the government’s violent suppression of the 2011 mass peaceful pro-democracy protests. During the attack, a police officer shot 32-year-old Fadhel Salman Matrook with a shotgun from several meters away, killing him. Husain Abdulla, Executive Director, ADHRB: “The violence against the mourners that we saw over the weekend is appalling. We’ve seen time and time again that the Bahraini government refuses to allow peaceful expression in the country, even during a funeral procession. The government must cease the continued perpetuation of state violence and excessive use of force utilized against mourners and protesters in Bahrain.” We, the undersigned organizations, condemn the Bahraini government’s ongoing use of excessive force against peaceful protesters and funeral processions. We are seriously concerned that the recent re-empowerment of the National Security Agency will lead to an increase in the government’s already over-militarized response to peaceful gatherings. We call on the Bahraini government to immediately cease attacking peaceful gatherings, respect funeral processions, and conduct a serious investigation into the use of excessive force against peaceful protesters. We also call on the government to invite the UN Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions to visit the country and allow her unfettered access to all areas.

Expectations don't matter until playoffs To hear fans of the Golden State Warriors and Boston Celtics in the past week, President Trump ought to declare a national emergency. Except no wall can contain the fans’ expectations invading reality. When the Dubs, two-time defending NBA World Champions and current darlings of the dynasty, lost back-to-back games to inferior teams such as Miami and Orlando in the Sunshine State, Warriors fans loathing rain in the Bay Area feared the sky was falling as well. This takes me back to the Super Bowl teams of the 49ers of the late 80s and early 90s I covered when it wasn’t satisfying enough for the 49ers to simply win. They had to win regular season games with style points. “It starts with passion and an anger and an intensity and it wasn’t there for us tonight,” said Warriors coach Steve Kerr following a 33-point loss Tuesday night -- their worst home defeat in almost a decade -- against the reeling Celtics, a game the Warriors were expected to win. “I can’t explain it. If I could explain it I would explain it to my team.” The Warriors have lost five of their last seven games but, lest we remind you, they still have the best record in the toughest conference in the NBA. Minus some nagging minor injuries, they are as healthy as they have been at this point in any season since they lost to the Clippers without Andrew Bogut (fractured ribs) in the 2014 playoffs. Bogut was a star back then. Now he is an insurance policy to back-up DeMarcus Cousins, who, though foul-prone and challenged defensively, is the Warriors best low-post scoring threat at center since, well, Ralph Sampson. Remember him? They will be more Boogie Nights than Bogut Nights in the playoffs when Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant et al will be locked in. Forget the fracas between K.D. and Draymond Green months ago. Speculation of Durant opting out of his contract is more about his brand (possibly in New York City?) than a desire to take his basketball ability elsewhere or any upset he may have with his teammates. He can choose to open the new Chase Center in San Francisco or align himself with a new super team or new challenge with fewer expectations than when he arrived in Oracle Arena. None of those are bad choices so what’s the rush to make one. Everything else is conjecture. If you listen to Warriors TV broadcaster and team statistician Bob Fitzgerald, the Warriors are incapable of losing unless their opponent plays the game of its life or the shooting gods hand the Warriors bricks. Heck, a few weeks ago, Durant actually said the Warriors were “struggling,” this during the stretch when his team WON 16 of 17 games. Does this really sound like a team in trouble? The Warriors believe their problems – slow starts, turnovers, inconsistent bench play, complacency – are all fixable. The reality is the Warriors merely need to hold off the Coming-Back-to-Earth Denver Nuggets (5-6 in their last 11 games) to gain the top seed in the West then, come playoff time, they will flip the switch and turn up the intensity on defense and defend their title. The Warriors should advance to the NBA Finals. When this season started they were expected to meet the Celtics there since Boston’s No. 1 nemesis, LeBron James, went all SpaceJam on Cleveland and left for Hollywood, Pulled Groinville, and Playoff Activation Mode. The Celtics’ season, however, is more complicated to explain than the Warriors’. In terms of expectations, trying to win the Eastern Conference pales when you’re trying to keep up with the Jones and your neighbors are the Patriots, Red Sox and Bruins; two recent world champions and a team playing like Stanley Cup contenders. Whereas Steve Kerr had to answer as to why Kevin Durant stopped talking to the media for a few days, Brad Stevens has had to endure weeks of responding to his players refusing to shut up. Kyrie Irving’s leadership, odd comments, and future aspirations have come into question and calling LeBron James for basketball advice is like calling a Kardashian for dating advice. Pretty much every Celtics players has expressed concern about the lack of cohesiveness. Then, at the start of a four-game road trip after a 1-5 record following the All-Star Game break, Jaylen Brown said the Celtics’ situation has become Britney Spears “toxic.” Let’s just say you know things are going bad when ESPN’s Mark Schwarz suddenly shows up at your press conferences. Stevens is expressing mild optimism in the face of negativity which includes poor shot selection, blowing big leads, and a sudden inability to defend the perimeter. “Our vibe has been good the last couple of days,” the Celtics coach said last night before the Warriors’ game. “The guys seem to have taken to heart what they need to take to heart.” Of course, the Celtics, to a man, claim they can’t put a thumb on what’s wrong with their team. On the positive side, no one has specifically or publicly extended a middle finger to a teammate or their plight. The reality is the Celtics, though having no chance of catching Milwaukee or Toronto for the top seed in the Eastern Conference, are not in bad shape. They are the No. 5 seed right now, yet no team beneath them in the standings has a winning record. It is likely the Celtics will play either Indiana without Victor Oladipo or Philadelphia in the opening round of the playoffs. They have the Sixers figured out. Boston has won 10 of their last 12 games against Philly including a five-game playoff series last year when the Celtics played without, for better or worse, Irving and Gordon Hayward who last night played like the Cleveland version of Irving (19 points, 11 assists) and Utah version of Hayward (30 points on 12-of-16 shooting) vs. the Warriors. “We’ve known how talented the Celtics are,” Kerr said. “There is plenty of season left and plenty of time for them to turn it around.” The Celtics, like the Warriors, seem to be biding time until playoff time. Beating the Sixers or Pacers in the playoffs would certainly get the Celtics out of their funk and get its players on the same page again. “When we play well we have been really good at staying in the moment in games and moved on afterward,” Stevens says, “All that other stuff doesn’t matter.” The Warriors would expect the same. posted by Dave at 10:30 PM My brush with greatness with the Goffs My Baseball Hall of Fame vote has new perspective Indy Car leaves Sonona Raceway feeling like Raider...

Before working for himself, Dr Laurence Clark ran a project for Liverpool Primary Care Trust researching how the NHS can provide Accessible Health Information and communicate effectively with disabled people. Since then he has provided training and consultancy to many public authorities across the country and supported the development of a number of disabled people’s organisations. At school Laurence was ill-advised by the career service to go into IT; their reasoning being he could earn good money and never encounter any wheelchair access issues by working entirely from home. After spending years studying for a PhD in Bioinformatics, Laurence decided on a complete change of direction and went back to study for a M.A. in Disability Studies at the University of Leeds. A user of self-directed support since 1992, his dissertation examined the effects of community care charging policies for personal assistance users, comparing the English and Scottish charging systems. Laurence also works as a critically-acclaimed stand-up comedian and writer. In 2004 he was a guest reporter on BBC 2’s Newsnight, presenting a short film about disability and the Abortion Act. He has written about various disability equality issues for The Times, Community Care, Disability Now and has a regular column on the BBC Ouch website. Laurence is an excellent public speaker and regularly speaks at numerous conferences and events. In recent years clients have included: The Office for Disability Issues The Disability Rights Commission Skills for Care The Legal Services Commission Action on Access Humberside Police Authority Hampshire Police Authority Sefton Council Surrey Social Services Hounslow Social Services London Borough of Newham South Yorkshire Centre for Independent Living Lothian Centre for Inclusive Living Southampton Centre for Independent Living Herefordshire Centre for Independent Living Independus - Richmond Centre for Independent Living Choices and Rights Disability Coalition, Hull Brighton and Hove Federation of Disabled People Arts Access South Australia The Prince Salmon Centre for Disability Research (Saudi Arabia) The Shafallah Centre (Qatar) Laurence lives in Liverpool with his wife Adele and four year-old son Tom.

Documents Home :: 4.2.2p2 :: assoc.html Last update: 18:35 UTC Thursday, July 28, 2005 Association Modes Client/Server Mode Symmetric Active/Passive Mode Broadcast/Multicast Modes Multicasting Burst Modes NTP Version 4 (NTPv4) incorporates new features and refinements to the NTP Version 3 (NTPv3) algorithms; however, it continues the tradition of backwards compatibility with older versions. A number of new operating modes for automatic server discovery and improved accuracy in occasionally connected networks are provided. Following is an overview of the new features; additional information is available on the Configuration Options and Authentication Options pages and in the papers, reports, memoranda and briefings at www.ntp.org. There are two types of associations: persistent associations, which result from configuration file commands, and ephemeral associations, which result from protocol operations described below. A persistent association is never demobilized, although it may become dormant when the associated server becomes unreachable. An ephemeral association is mobilized when a message arrives from a server; for instance, a symmetric passive association is mobilized upon arrival of a symmetric active message. A broadcast client association is mobilized upon arrival of a broadcast server message, while a Manycast client association is mobilized upon arrival of a Manycast server message. Ordinarily, successful mobilization of an ephemeral association requires the server to be cryptographically authenticated to the dependent client. This can be done using either symmetric-key or public-key cryptography, as described in the Authentication Options page. The cryptographic means insure an unbroken chain of trust between the dependent client and the primary servers at the root of the synchronization subnet. We call this chain the provenance of the client and define new vocabulary as to proventicate a client or provide proventic credentials. Once mobilized, ephemeral associations are demobilized when either (a) the server becomes unreachable or (b) the server refreshes the key media without notifying the client. There are three principal modes of operation: client/server, symmetric active/passive and broadcast. In addition, there are two modes using IP multicast support: multicast and manycast. These modes are selected based on the scope of service, intended flow of time and proventic values and means of configuration. Following is a summary of the operations in each mode. Client/server mode is probably the most common configuration in the Internet today. It operates in the classic remote-procedure-call (RPC) paradigm with stateless servers. In this mode a client sends a request to the server and expects a reply at some future time. In some contexts this would be described as a "pull" operation, in that the client pulls the time and proventic values from the server. A client is configured in client mode using the server (sic) command and specifying the server IPv4 or IPv6 DNS name or address; the server requires no prior configuration. The original NTPv3 authentication scheme is applicable in this mode, as well as the new NTPv4 Autokey proventication scheme. In addition, two burst modes described below can be used in appropriate cases. Symmetric active/passive mode is intended for configurations were a clique of low-stratum peers operate as mutual backups for each other. Each peer operates with one or more primary reference sources, such as a radio clock, or a subset of secondary servers known to be reliable and proventicated. Should one of the peers lose all reference sources or simply cease operation, the other peers will automatically reconfigure so that time and proventication values can flow from the surviving peers to all the others in the clique. In some contexts this would be described as a "push-pull" operation, in that the peer either pulls or pushes the time and proventic values depending on the particular configuration. Symmetric peers operate with their sources in some NTP mode and with each other in symmetric mode. A peer is configured in symmetric active mode using the peer command and specifying the other peer IPv4 or IPv6 DNS name or address. The other peer can also be configured in symmetric active mode in a similar way. However, if the other peer is not specifically configured in this way, a symmetric passive association is mobilized upon arrival of a symmetric active message. Since an intruder can impersonate a symmetric active peer and inject false time values, symmetric mode should always be cryptographically validated. The original NTPv3 authentication scheme is applicable in this mode, as well as the new NTPv4 Autokey proventication scheme. IPv4 broadcast mode in both NTPv3 and NTPv4 is limited to directly connected subnets such as Ethernets which support broadcast technology. Ordinarily, this technology does not operate beyond the first hop router or gateway. In IPv6 and where service is intended beyond the local subnet, IP multicasting can be used where supported by the operating system and the routers support the Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP). Most current kernels and available routers do support IP multicast technology, although service providers are sometimes reluctant to deploy it. IPv4 broadcast mode is intended for configurations involving one or a few servers and a possibly very large client population on the same subnet. A broadcast server is configured using the broadcast command and a IPv4 local subnet broadcast address. A broadcast client is configured using the broadcastclient command, in which case it responds to broadcast messages received on any interface. Since an intruder can impersonate a broadcast server and inject false time values, this mode should always be cryptographically validated. The original NTPv3 authentication scheme is applicable in this mode, as well as the new NTPv4 Autokey proventication scheme. The server generates broadcast messages continuously at intervals specified by the minpoll keyword and with a time-to-live span specified by the ttl keyword. A broadcast client responds to the first message received by waiting a short interval to avoid implosion at the server. Then, the client polls the server in burst mode in order to quickly set the host clock and validate the source. This normally results in a volley of eight client/server cycles at 2-s intervals during which both the synchronization and cryptographic protocols run concurrently. Following the volley, the client computes the offset between the apparent broadcast time and the (unicast) client time. This offset is used to compensate for the propagation time between the broadcast server and client. Once the offset is computed, the server continues as before and the client sends no further messages. If for some reason the broadcast server does not respond to client messages, the client will time out the volley and continue in listen-only mode with a default propagation delay. Multicasting can be used to extend the scope of a timekeeping subnet in two ways: multicasting and manycasting. A general discussion of IP multicast technology is beyond the scope of this page. In simple terms a host or router sending to a IPv4 or IPv6 multicast group address expects all hosts or routers listening on this address to receive the message. There is no intrinsic limit on the number of senders or receivers and senders can be receivers and vice versa. The IANA has assigned multicast group address IPv4 224.0.1.1 and IPv6 FF05::101 (site local) to NTP, but these addresses should be used only where the multicast span can be reliably constrained to protect neighbor networks. In general, administratively scoped IPv4 group addresses should be used, as described in RFC-2365, or GLOP group addresses, as described in RFC-2770. A multicast server is configured using the broadcast command, but with a multicast group address instead of a broadcast address. A multicast client is configured using the multicastclient command with a multicast group address. However, there is a subtle difference between IPv4 broadcasting and multicasting. IPv4 broadcasting is specific to each interface and local subnet address. If more than one interface is attached to a machine, a separate broadcast command applies to each one separately. This provides a way to limit exposure in a firewall, for example. For IPv6 the same distinction can be made using link-local prefix FF02 for each interface and site-local FF05 for all interfacesl. IP multicasting is a different paradigm. By design, multicast messages travel from the sender via a shortest-path or shared tree to the receivers, which may require these messages emit from one or all interfaces, but carry a common source address. However, it is possible to configure multiple multicast group addresses using multiple broadcast or multicastclient commands. Other than these particulars, multicast messages are processed just like broadcast messages. Note that the calibration feature in broadcast mode is extremely important, since IP multicast messages can travel far different paths through the IP routing fabric than ordinary IP unicast messages. Manycasting is a automatic discovery and configuration paradigm new to NTPv4. It is intended as a means for a multicast client to troll the nearby network neighborhood to find cooperating manycast servers, validate them using cryptographic means and evaluate their time values with respect to other servers that might be lurking in the vicinity. The intended result is that each manycast client mobilizes client associations with some number of the "best" of the nearby anycast servers, yet automatically reconfigures to sustain this number of servers should one or another fail. Additional information is on the Automatic NTP Configuration Options page. There are two burst modes where a single poll event triggers a burst of eight packets at 2-s intervals instead of the usual one. The burst mode sends a burst when the server is reachable, while the iburst mode sends a burst when the server is unreachable. Each mode is independently of the other and both can be used if necessary. The calldelay command can be used to increase the interval between the first and second packets in the burst in order to allow a modem to complete a call. Received server packets update the clock filter, which selects the best (most accurate) time values. When the last packet in the burst is sent, the next received packet updates the system variables and sets the system clock in the usual manner, as if only a single client/server cycle had occurred. The result is not only a rapid and reliable setting of the system clock, but a considerable reduction in network jitter. The iburst keyword is used where it is important to set the clock quickly when an association is first mobilized or first becomes reachable or when the network attachment requires an initial calling or training procedure. The burst is initiated only when the server first becomes reachable and results in good accuracy with intermittent connections typical of PPP and ISDN services. Outlyers due to initial dial-up delays, etc., are avoided and the client sets the clock within a few seconds after the first message. The burst keyword can be configured in cases of excessive network jitter or when the network attachment requires an initial calling or training procedure. The burst is initiated at each poll interval when the server is reachable. The burst does produce additional network overhead and can cause trouble if used indiscriminately. It should only be used where the poll interval is expected to settle to values at or above 1024 s.

The Tomb of the Cybermen The Cybermen – silver, indestructible monsters whose only goal is power – seem to have disappeared from their planet, Telos. When a party of archaeologists, joined by The Doctor, Jamie, and Victoria, land on the Cybermen‘ barren, deserted planet, they uncover what appears to be their tomb. But once inside it becomes clear that the Cybermen are not dead, and some in the group of archaeologists desperately want to re-activate these monsters! How can The Doctor defeat These ruthless, power-seeking humans and the Cybermen? Victoria and Jamie An Expedition into Space The Entrance to the Tombs Cyberman Control Room The Recharging Room The Target Room The Finding of the Cybermat The Secret of the Hatch The Cyberman Controller Release the Cybermats The Controller is Revitalised Toberman Returns Closing the Tombs The narration sometimes refers to The Doctor as “Doctor Who”. The introduction provides a brief synopsis of the birth of the Cybermen and the events of The Tenth Planet and The Moonbase. However, the introduction also states that the homeworld of the Cybermen was always Telos, not Mondas. Toberman is described as either Turkish or Middle Eastern. The main chamber of the tomb is lined with ornate bas-reliefs of the history of the Cybermen, from their creation to the destruction of Mondas. The Cyber-Controller is described as having a black helmet, like the Cyber-Leaders seen later in the series. There are five lieutenant Cybermen to the Cyber-controller. Klieg states he is President of the Brotherhood of Logicians, rather than being just a major member of the Brotherhood. The Earth expedition ship is named the Orbiter. The Cybermats are described as scorpions.

This is an exciting announcement for some and it's possible that publishers for North America and Europe could join in soon. Russia's Version of Lost Ark Will Not be Region-Locked According to Mail. The goal of the players in the campaign is to find her before Kazeroth, the leader of the demonic legions, wants to use her to take over the world. You'll be asked to set a 2nd password first.

A blog by Dan Brooks Dan Brooks writes essays, fiction, and commentary from Montana and abroad. Know your sociopaths: Jerome Corsi Regarding the moth joke Can we talk about this Simpsons gag from 20 years ago? Tom Hitchner on refuting the argument no one is making This misleading Fox News graph is fake Close Reading: What Tiger Woods’s daughter looks like… Meanwhile, inside Michele Bachmann’s head By Dan Brooks in Uncategorized August 24, 2011 6 Comments She will also make The Family Circus less preachy. As Michele Bachmann’s presidential candidacy increasingly resembles a thing that is actually happening, we will probably see a surfeit of Meanwhile, Inside Michele Bachmann’s Heads. I’m basing this conjecture on the Palin Cycle, which taught us that I will lose interest in a given nutso church lady long after you guys have. I apologize in advance, both to you and to the panels before which people like me will undoubtedly be called should President Bachmann take office. You know she’s going to win, too, because she’s using a method time-honored by student council candidates across the nation: making promises about stuff she cannot control. Bachmann’s pledge to get the price of gas below $2 a gallon is the frozen yogurt machine in the cafeteria of national politics. Because she is more a bold visionary and less a person who connects her desires to specific actions, we don’t know Bachmann’s gas plan. But conveniently, Don Shelby over at MinnPost has compiled her options. Most of them involve wrecking the economy or jeopardizing national security, but don’t worry—some of them break international law. Shelby notes that Bachmann’s pledge resembles one made by the late Donald Trump, who proposed nationalizing the oil fields of Libya and Iraq. Trump seemed not aware that A) gasoline does not come right out of the ground, B) the Iraqi people would love that and C) we do still kind of have a UN. Besides initiating a global resource war, President Bachmann could pursue her gas pledge along two likely avenues: 1) She could release the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. If you put all 727 million barrels in the SPR on the market simultaneously, the price of gas would probably plummet. OPEC would almost certainly reduce production in order to offset the surplus, though, and regardless the reserve oil would be consumed in about a month. That would be a pretty fun January 2013, but at the end of it we would no longer have a Strategic Petroleum Reserve. Ironically, that would have been the thing to get us through our conquest of Libya. 2) She could drill for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, off the coast of Florida, inside the Washington’s head part of Mount Rushmore, wherever. The ANWR would cover us for a year, which sounds good now but less so in 2014, when we’ve got no oil and no ANWR. The rest of the petroleum she’s looking at is shale-oil, extractable by a process so expensive that Exxon abandoned it. These are the same people who consider it cost-effective to drill for oil on the bottom of the ocean and then pour half of it out. So like the government controlling 31% of our economy and her not benefiting from federal farm subsidies, $2 gas appears to be something Bachmann said because it sounded good. The question is, why? Not why did she say that—she’s either hideously cynical or regards herself as chosen by god to lie the American people back to righteousness, take your pick—but why did she think it would sound good? The response of experts and commentators has ranged from skepticism to disdain, and surely even she has somebody on her campaign bus to explain why. Of all the far-our campaign promises she could have chosen, why pick one that is so immediately and demonstrably nuts? I submit that Bachmann is setting a cutoff at a certain level of news. Her original promise was a CNN-Fox-USA Today story, whereas the cascade of refutations came as below-the-fold commentary. The people who sort of look at the news but don’t follow it got “Bachmann $2 gas” flashed across their subconscious, and the people who follow politics more closely weren’t going to vote for her anyway. For the former group—I call them the This Damn Economy bloc—the price of gasoline is a perfect flashpoint. It affects their daily lives. They’re reminded once a week. Why doesn’t somebody do something about it? So as usual with Bachmann, the scary part is not so much the woman herself as whether her cynical calculations are actually true. She’s the Keeping Up With the Kardashians of American politics: the show is not interesting, but the fact that it has an audience is terrifying and weirdly fascinating. One keeps trying to engage Michele Bachmann within some matrix of reasoning, and the argument keeps narrowing down to “if this person gets elected…” Combat! blog is free. Why not share it? Tags $2 gasanwrarctic national wildlife refugebachmanndrillfact checkgasolineoil reservesprices Joel Marks on post-moralism Compunctions: Bob Parsons No, but I heard it ... You had me until your second Kardashian reference in two days. I’m not sure if we can hang out anymore. It’s because I just figured out who she is. You’re lucky you weren’t around when I noticed Ke$ha. I suddenly feel the need to shower excessively. Perhaps with some $2 gasoline! Dan-o, you missed the boat. The real analysis here lies in why she didn’t promise $0.99 a gallon gasoline. No way I’m voting for anything less than sub-dollar-a-gallon gas. Like it was in the good old days! I’m not entirely convinced Michelle Bachmann matters. Is it possible that there’s just going to be lots of volunteers for a long time to come for the newly-minted role in American politics of Crazy White Lady Running for Leader of the Free World? If so, then Bachmann’s definitely hovering intently around one of the key moves for a CWLRLFW–if you’re always saying batshit crazy things to newspaper reporters, you’re technically in the right to say that the media only ever prints things that make you look bad. I think that alone guarantees no more than 15 but no less than 10 percent of most red states. you have to also wonder if she isn’t also gunning for the victim of the media schtick.

VYSE, J. M. WOLTER, J. CHEN, T. NG, M. SORIANO-GABARRO A literature search traced existing information on meningococcal disease in Asia. Reviewed data describing the epidemiology of meningococcal disease in Asia are incomplete, due in part to absence of surveillance in many countries, poor bacterial detection methods and social and healthcare barriers to disease reporting. This suggests that meningococcal disease in some Asian countries may be under-recognized, with a need to introduce/improve existing surveillance and case identification systems. Nevertheless, in some developing Asian countries, the disease burden may be significant. Serogroup A meningococcal epidemics are responsible for high morbidity and mortality in some countries and continue to be an ongoing threat, particularly in developing countries. There is an increasing role played by serogroups C, Y, and W-135 in invasive disease, indicating evolving meningococcal disease epidemiology in some countries. Multivalent meningococcal conjugate vaccines offer new opportunities in the region for reducing the meningococcal disease burden. Death investigation systems and disease surveillance C. R. McGOWAN, A. M. VIENS Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 December 2010, pp. 986-990 Medico-legal death investigation systems have the potential to play an important role in disease surveillance. While these systems are in place to serve a public function, the degree to which they are independent of central government can vary depending on jurisdiction. How these systems use this independence may present problems for public health initiatives, as it allows death investigators to decline to participate in government-led surveillance regardless of how critical the studies may be to public health and safety. A recent illustration of this problem in the UK is examined, as well as general lessons for removing impediments to death investigation systems participating in public health research. SEBASTIAN LUCAS M.R.S.A. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection in combat support hospitals in three regions of Iraq X.-Z. HUANG, D. M. CASH, M. A. CHAHINE, G. T. VAN HORN, D. P. ERWIN, J. T. McKAY, L. R. HAMILTON, K. H. JERKE, E.-M. A. CO, W. K. ALDOUS, E. P. LESHO, L. E. LINDLER, R. A. BOWDEN, M. P. NIKOLICH Published online by Cambridge University Press: 23 August 2010, pp. 994-997 Staphylococcus aureus is a leading cause of infections in deployed service members. Based on a molecular epidemiological study of 182 MRSA isolates from patients in three U.S. Army combat support hospitals in separate regions in Iraq, USA300 clone was the most predominant (80%) pulsotype. This finding suggested that strain carriage from the home country by military personnel is epidemiologically more important than local acquisition. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus colonization in HIV-infected outpatients is common and detection is enhanced by groin culture P. J. PETERS, J. T. BROOKS, B. LIMBAGO, H. K. LOWERY, S. K. McALLISTER, R. MINDLEY, G. FOSHEIM, R. J. GORWITZ, J. L. GUEST, J. HAGEMAN, J. FRIDGE, D. RIMLAND Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 September 2010, pp. 998-1008 Although high rates of clinical infection with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) have been reported in HIV-infected adults, data on MRSA colonization are limited. We enrolled HIV-infected adults receiving care at the Atlanta VA Medical Center. Swabs from each participant's nares and groin were cultured with broth enrichment for S. aureus. Of 600 HIV-infected adults, 79 (13%) were colonized with MRSA and 180 (30%) with methicillin-susceptible S. aureus. MRSA pulsed-field gel electrophoresis types USA300 (n=44, 54%) and USA500/Iberian (n=29, 35%) predominated. Inclusion of groin swabs increased MRSA detection by 24% and USA300 detection by 38%. In multivariate analysis, MRSA colonization compared to no MRSA colonization was associated with a history of MRSA clinical infection, rarely or never using condoms, and contact with prisons and jails. In summary, the prevalence of MRSA colonization was high in this study of HIV-infected adults and detection of USA300 was enhanced by groin culture. Changing epidemiology of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in Alberta, Canada: population-based surveillance, 2005–2008 J. KIM, C. FERRATO, G. R. GOLDING, M. R. MULVEY, K. A. SIMMONDS, L. W. SVENSON, G. KEAYS, L. CHUI, M. LOVGREN, M. LOUIE Published online by Cambridge University Press: 21 September 2010, pp. 1009-1018 Increasing prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has been reported in Canada. We report the results of a prospective surveillance of MRSA infections in Alberta over a consecutive 3-year period. A total of 8910 unique clinical MRSA isolates was analysed from July 2005 to June 2008. The incidence of MRSA infection increased over the study period and was highest in males, age group ⩾85 years, and the Calgary Area. CMRSA10 (USA300) and CMRSA2 (USA100/800) were the most common PFGE strain types, representing 53·0% and 27·9% of all isolates, respectively. Significant differences were noted between MRSA strains in the source of infection and antimicrobial susceptibility. The incidence of MRSA infection in Alberta has nearly doubled in the last 3 years; this is attributed to the emergence of CMRSA10 as the predominant strain. Prevalence of and risk factors for MRSA carriage in companion animals: a survey of dogs, cats and horses A. LOEFFLER, D. U. PFEIFFER, J. A. LINDSAY, R. J. SOARES MAGALHÃES, D. H. LLOYD Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 October 2010, pp. 1019-1028 We investigated the prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) carriage in a convenience sample of purposely selected populations of dogs, cats and horses in the Greater London area. Swabs from carriage sites were pooled, enriched and processed by standard bacteriological methods. The presence of nuc and mecA was confirmed for MRSA. Risk factors were investigated among veterinary treatment group animals using exact logistic regression analysis. Twenty-six (1·53%) MRSA carriers were identified in the 1692 animals (15/704 dogs, 8/540 cats, 3/152 horses). Animals presenting for veterinary treatment more frequently carried MRSA than healthy animals (OR 7·27, 95% CI 2·18–24·31, P<0·001). Concurrent carriage of non-MRSA coagulase-positive staphylococci was associated with MRSA carriage (OR 0·088, 95% CI 0·016–0·31, P<0·001); none of the other 13 putative risk factors was significant. MRSA carriage was rare in the selected companion animal populations. The absence of typical risk factors indicates that companion animals act as contaminated vectors rather than as true reservoirs. Childhood infections The epidemiology of rubella in Mexico: seasonality, stochasticity and regional variation C. J. E. METCALF, O. N. BJØRNSTAD, M. J. FERRARI, P. KLEPAC, N. BHARTI, H. LOPEZ-GATELL, B. T. GRENFELL The factors underlying the temporal dynamics of rubella outside of Europe and North America are not well known. Here we used 20 years of incidence reports from Mexico to identify variation in seasonal forcing and magnitude of transmission across the country and to explore determinants of inter-annual variability in epidemic magnitude in rubella. We found considerable regional variation in both magnitude of transmission and amplitude of seasonal variation in transmission. Several lines of evidence pointed to stochastic dynamics as an important driver of multi-annual cycles. Since average age of infection increased with the relative importance of stochastic dynamics, this conclusion has implications for the burden of congenital rubella syndrome. We discuss factors underlying regional variation, and implications of the importance of stochasticity for vaccination implementation. Maintaining high rates of measles immunization in Africa J. LESSLER, W. J. MOSS, S. A. LOWTHER, D. A. T. CUMMINGS Supplementary immunization activities (SIAs) are important in achieving high levels of population immunity to measles virus. Using data from a 2006 survey of measles vaccination in Lusaka, Zambia, we developed a model to predict measles immunity following routine vaccination and SIAs, and absent natural infection. Projected population immunity was compared between the current programme and alternatives, including supplementing routine vaccination with a second dose, or SIAs at 1-, 2-, 3-, 4- and 5-year intervals. Current routine vaccination plus frequent SIAs could maintain high levels of population immunity in children aged <5 years, even if each frequent SIA has low coverage (e.g. ⩾72% for bi-annual 60% coverage SIAs vs. ⩾69% for quadrennial 95% coverage SIAs). A second dose at 12 months with current coverage could achieve 81% immunity. Circulating measles virus will only increase population immunity. Public health officials should consider frequent SIAs when resources for a two-dose strategy are unavailable. Multiple-locus variable-number tandem-repeat analysis for discriminating within Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium definitive types and investigation of outbreaks K. H. DYET, E. TURBITT, P. E. CARTER The discriminatory power of multiple-locus variable-number tandem-repeat analysis (MLVA) needs to be evaluated for all Salmonella enterica subspecies enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) phage types so that the power of this methodology is understood and results can be interpreted correctly during outbreak investigations. We evaluated the ability of MLVA to characterize four definitive phage types (DT) problematic in New Zealand. MLVA discriminated between DT104 isolates although there was very limited variation in the MLVA profiles for isolates with an RDNC phage type (reacts but does not conform to a recognized Typhimurium phage pattern) first observed in New Zealand's Enteric Reference Laboratory in May 2006. Most DT101 isolates had indistinguishable MLVA profiles or profiles that differed at one or two loci. This was also observed in DT160 isolates. MLVA may not identify all common-source outbreaks although it provided valuable data when applied to case isolates from two S. Typhimurium outbreaks. Salmonella prevalence in commercial raw shell eggs in Japan: a survey Y. SASAKI, Y. TSUJIYAMA, T. ASAI, Y. NODA, S. KATAYAMA, Y. YAMADA We examined 20 300 raw shell chicken eggs sold at retail stores in Japan for Salmonella outside and inside eggs. The eggs were purchased at 220 retail stores throughout Japan between August 2007 and January 2008. Of 2030 pooled egg samples (10 eggs/sample), Salmonella was isolated from five shell samples (0·25%), but not from any of egg-content samples. The serovars of the isolates were Salmonella Enteritidis (2), S. Derby, S. Livingstone and S. Cerro. The samples positive for Salmonella originated from five different egg grading and packaging (GP) centres. All the GP centres washed their egg shells according to government guidelines for hygienic practice in GP centres. Thus, practical control measures at GP centres need to be reviewed and implemented to diminish Salmonella prevalence of egg shells because Salmonella contamination on eggs is a potential hazard for foodborne salmonellosis in Japan. Optical genetic mapping defines regions of chromosomal variation in serovars of S. enterica subsp. enterica of concern for human and animal health M. P. SAUNDERS, G. WU, M. ABUOUN, Z. PAN, M. ANJUM, M. J. WOODWARD Infections involving Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovars have serious animal and human health implications; causing gastroenteritis in humans and clinical symptoms, such as diarrhoea and abortion, in livestock. In this study an optical genetic mapping technique was used to screen 20 field isolate strains from four serovars implicated in disease outbreaks. The technique was able to distinguish between the serovars and the available sequenced strains and group them in agreement with similar data from microarrays and PFGE. The optical maps revealed variation in genome maps associated with antimicrobial resistance and prophage content in S. Typhimurium, and separated the S. Newport strains into two clear geographical lineages defined by the presence of prophage sequences. The technique was also able to detect novel insertions that may have had effects on the central metabolism of some strains. Overall optical mapping allowed a greater level of differentiation of genomic content and spatial information than more traditional typing methods. Prevalence and risk factors for Salmonella in veal calves at Danish cattle abattoirs L. R. NIELSEN, D. L. BAGGESEN, S. AABO, M. K. MOOS, E. RATTENBORG The study's objectives were to determine herd- and animal-level prevalence and herd-level risk factors for Salmonella in dairy-bred veal calves at slaughter in Denmark. In total, 1296 faecal samples were collected at five cattle abattoirs in Denmark during 2007–2008. The animals came from 71 randomly selected specialized veal-calf producers that delivered more than 100 animals to slaughter per year. Salmonella Dublin bacteria were isolated from 19 samples from 12 herds and Salmonella Typhimurium was isolated from one sample. The apparent prevalence of herds delivering Salmonella-shedding animals to slaughter was 18% (95% CI 9–27). The overall estimated true prevalence of shedding calves at slaughter was 1·3%. Veal-calf herds that purchased animals from herds not classified as low risk in the Danish Salmonella surveillance programme had significantly (P=0·03) higher risk of delivering Salmonella-shedding calves to slaughter. The results emphasize the importance of efforts in the dairy industry to ensure food safety for consumers. Geographical association between livestock density and human Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli O157 infections I. H. M. FRIESEMA, J. VAN DE KASSTEELE, C. M. DE JAGER, A. E. HEUVELINK, W. VAN PELT Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) bacteria can cause outbreaks and sporadic cases of gastroenteritis in humans. Ruminants are seen as the main reservoir. The aim of this study was to evaluate the spatial association between reported human STEC O157 infections in The Netherlands and different livestock densities. Data were collected at the municipality level and a spatial regression analysis was performed. Between April 1999 and December 2008, 409 symptomatic sporadic cases were registered. Adding an interaction term between season, age, and livestock density showed an increased risk of STEC cases in summer for living in areas with cattle, in particular for young children. In conclusion, cattle, but not pigs or poultry, are indicated as an important source for human STEC O157 infections in rural areas. The association is probably due to direct or indirect contact with cattle, resulting in symptomatic infections, especially in young children. Microarray-based detection of virulence genes in verotoxigenic Escherichia coli O157:H7 strains from Swedish cattle R. SÖDERLUND, A. ASPÁN, R. M. LA RAGIONE, E. ERIKSSON, S. BOQVIST Verotoxigenic Escherichia coli (VTEC) serotype O157:H7 strains from a Swedish cattle prevalence study (n=32), and livestock-derived strains linked to human disease (n=13), were characterized by microarray and PCR detection of virulence genes. The overall aim of the study was to investigate the distribution of known virulence determinants and determine which genes are linked to increased pathogenicity in humans. A core set of 18 genes or gene variants were found in all strains, while seven genes were variably present. This suggests that the majority of VTEC O157:H7 found in Swedish cattle carry a broad repertoire of virulence genes and should be considered potentially harmful to humans. A single virulence gene type was significantly associated with strains linked to human disease cases (P=0·012), but no genetic trait to explain the increased virulence of this genotype could be found. Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli O157 associated with human infections in Switzerland, 2000–2009 U. KÄPPELI, H. HÄCHLER, N. GIEZENDANNER, T. CHEASTY, R. STEPHAN Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC), an important foodborne pathogen, can cause mild to severe bloody diarrhoea (BD), sometimes followed by life-threatening complications such as haemolytic uraemic syndrome (HUS). A total of 44 O157 strains isolated from different patients from 2000 through 2009 in Switzerland were further characterized and linked to medical history data. Non-bloody diarrhoea was experienced by 15·9%, BD by 61·4% of the patients, and 29·5% developed HUS. All strains belonged to MLST type 11, were positive for stx2 variants (stx2 and/or stx2c), eae and ehxA, and only two strains showed antibiotic resistance. Of the 44 strains, nine phage types (PTs) were detected the most frequent being PT32 (43·2%) and PT8 (18·2%). By PFGE, 39 different patterns were found. This high genetic diversity within the strains leads to the conclusion that STEC O157 infections in Switzerland most often occur as sporadic cases. Water and gastroenteritis An extensive gastroenteritis outbreak after drinking-water contamination by sewage effluent, Finland J. LAINE, E. HUOVINEN, M. J. VIRTANEN, M. SNELLMAN, J. LUMIO, P. RUUTU, E. KUJANSUU, R. VUENTO, T. PITKÄNEN, I. MIETTINEN, J. HERRALA, O. LEPISTÖ, J. ANTONEN, J. HELENIUS, M.-L. HÄNNINEN, L. MAUNULA, J. MUSTONEN, M. KUUSI, Pirkanmaa Waterborne Outbreak Study Group An inappropriate cross-connection between sewage- and drinking-water pipelines contaminated tap water in a Finnish town, resulting in an extensive waterborne gastroenteritis outbreak in this developed country. According to a database and a line-list, altogether 1222 subjects sought medical care as a result of this exposure. Seven pathogens were found in patient samples of those who sought treatment. To establish the true disease burden from this exposure, we undertook a population-based questionnaire investigation with a control population, infrequently used to study waterborne outbreaks. The study covered three areas, contaminated and uncontaminated parts of the town and a control town. An estimated 8453 residents fell ill during the outbreak, the excess number of illnesses being 6501. Attack rates were 53% [95% confidence interval (CI) 49·5–56·4] in the contaminated area, 15·6% (95% CI 13·1–18·5) in the uncontaminated area and 6·5% (95% CI 4·8–8·8) in the control population. Using a control population allowed us to differentiate baseline morbidity from the observed morbidity caused by the water contamination, thus enabling a more accurate estimate of the disease burden of this outbreak. Disease outbreaks associated with untreated recreational water use F. M. SCHETS, A. M. DE RODA HUSMAN, A. H. HAVELAAR Annual overviews of waterborne disease outbreaks associated with untreated recreational water use provided by authorities responsible for bathing-water quality and public health in The Netherlands revealed 742 outbreaks during 1991–2007 mainly comprising of skin conditions (48%) and gastroenteritis (31%) and involving at least 5623 patients. The number of outbreaks per bathing season correlated with the number of days with temperatures over 25°C (r=0·8–0·9), but was not reduced through compliance with European bathing-water legislation (r=0·1), suggesting that monitoring of faecal indicator parameters and striving for compliance with water-quality standards may not sufficiently protect bathers. Bathing sites were prone to incidental faecal contamination events or environmental conditions that favoured the growth of naturally occurring pathogens. Identification of all possible contamination sources, awareness of changes that might negatively affect water quality, and provision of adequate information to the public are important preventive measures to protect public health.

We present the characterisation of a novel polymer imaging bundle made from poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) that is considerably cheaper and a better alternative to silica imaging bundles over short distances (~1 m; from the middle to the edge of a telescope’s focal plane). The large increase in filling factor (92% for the polymer imaging bundle) outweighs the large increase in optical attenuation from using PMMA (1 dB/m) instead of silica (10−3 dB/m). We present and discuss current and possible future multi-object applications of the polymer imaging bundle in the context of astronomical instrumentation including: field acquisition, guiding, wavefront sensing, narrow-band imaging, aperture masking, and speckle imaging. The use of PMMA limits its use in low-light applications (e.g., imaging of galaxies); however, it is possible to fabricate polymer imaging bundles from a range of polymers that are better suited to the desired science.
