By placing a bid, either in person, by phone, absentee or via the Internet, you signify that you have examined the items as fully as you desire to or that you have chosen not to examine them.

On Assignment: Mother shares her co-sleeping story to help save other children
So far this year in Milwaukee County, 15 infants have died in co-sleeping environments.
Those 15 deaths represent the highest number in five years, with a low of nine deaths in 2010.
In 11 of the 15 cases, families did not have a crib or a Pack 'n Play in the home, or the Pack 'n Play went unused. In six of the 15 deaths, the family had ongoing contact with child welfare.
Four of the 15 investigations did note alcohol or drug use but no proof of intoxication as a contributing factor.
It is a problem throughout the state.
In an On Assignment report, WISN 12 News' Kathy Mykleby gets the heartbreaking story from a mother on the death of her baby on a night she held him in her arms as they fell to sleep together.
He had blossomed into the picture of health after a touch-and-go start.
"It was hard getting pregnant with him," mother Natasha Rodefer said.
He was born two months early.
"So the doctors call it a miracle," Rodefer said.
He thrived after 10 days in the neonatal intensive care unit.
With his parents named Tasha and Tommy, dad chose the name Tristan for their son and mom loved it.
His grandparents and godparents and cousins could not get enough of him.
Tragically, they did not get enough of Tristan in their lives.

"He was a wonderful baby. I miss him dearly," Rodefer said.
They had a crib up north where they lived. The grandparents had one, too, but on an overnight stay at his godmother's house in Waukesha, Tristan slept on a floor on a cushion.
"I remember like it was yesterday. He wouldn't sleep, wouldn't go down by himself. I ended up falling asleep with him," Rodefer said.
"Did Tristan sleep with you a lot?" Mykleby asked.
"Not all the time, but yes. I can't lie, but he did," Rodefer said.
She wanted to comfort Tristan, to be close to her son.
"It was around 4 a.m., and he was lifeless, his body was cold. I look back, and I guess I knew he was gone. We still tried to revive him, called 911, it was a very traumatic time," Rodefer said. "He got rushed to the hospital, and he was pronounced dead. I had a lot of family support."
"Your baby wasn't crushed?" Mykleby said.
"He was in my arm back up against my arm. He wasn't smothered," Rodefer said.
A miracle birth ended with an inexplicable death after 46 days.
The medical examiner concluded is death was consistent with Sudden Infant Death Syndrome and co-sleeping. There were no signs of any physical injury.
"I didn't know any better. I mean, I didn't know," Rodefer said.
No one knows when Tristan took his last breath.
"I felt like I was a bad mother. I felt like I did the wrong thing," Rodefer said. "I wish I could have said goodbye."
She has found a way, along with family and friends, to share thoughts about Tristan in a journal.
VIDEO: Mother talks with Kathy Mykleby about son's death
She resolved to tell this story about guilt and pain of parents who could not deal with it together, of a mom who struggled to cope with an impossible loss.
It's been five years.
"I kind of gave myself a pep talk and told myself to keep it together," Rodefer said. "I want to save another baby's life. (I) don't want this to happen to someone else."
Rodefer said she stays involved with the Infant Death Center run out of Children's Hospital and is looking for work.
She is expecting a baby in March and is excited, but anxious. But she is clear that she will not co-sleep with the new baby.
That is advice Vivian Jackson, who works in the Infant Death Center, said every parent should heed.
There is a proposal to make co-sleeping deaths a crime. Proposed legislation takes aim at deaths where there is some kind of impairment -- drugs or alcohol.
As part of WISN 12 News' research, Mykleby spoke with the Kenosha district attorney, who has prosecuted two cases under existing state child neglect laws.
"Why did you decide to share your story?" Mykleby asked Rodefer.
"If I could just help one person, just one person, make them stop sleeping with their babies," Rodefer said.
"You know, right after Tristan died, they had the police in and I had to reenact everything," Rodefer said.
In the haze of mourning, weeping and blaming herself, strangers with an expertise reached out.
"How did you find the Children's Hospital center?" Mykleby asked.
"They found me," Rodefer said.
"We send out information on grief and bereavement services through the Infant Death Center," Jackson said.
Jackson runs the state-mandated program that also follows up with phone calls to parents wracked with loss. It tracks parents who have suffered the loss of a child for a year.
"I have families of all walks of life to be honest," Jackson said.
She has the same feeling every time.
"Heartbroken we have to do it again, that is one of things we offer, we offer support to those families," Jackson said.
She handles 130 cases a year and notes co-sleeping is a fraction of infant deaths from all causes.
"You know, Kathy, I have to tell you the common thread is end result. An infant has died and that is the hard part so those families because of that situation have a commonality," Jackson said.
Still, co-sleeping has been making headlines in Milwaukee.
"Everybody is (at a) loss on this subject, why it keeps happening. My opinion wouldn't be to throw women in jail because I see what I went through. I don't know if it would make the situation better or worse," Rodefer said.
Rodefer and Jackson have become a team involved in memorials and support groups, although they do differ on the prospect of making co-sleeping in some extreme cases a crime.
"I think you should be (prosecuted) if you are not in the right frame of mind or drinking, using drugs. I think you should be persecuted and prosecuted," Rodefer said.
"I am totally opposed to prosecuting a family for an infant death. I think the message that they have in the legislation it almost tells families if you are not drinking, if you are not under the influence, that it is OK to sleep with your child or infant, and that is not the case," Jackson said.
Jackson said substance abuse or use is rare in infant deaths.
The Children's Health Alliance said the other key to safe sleeping is keeping your baby's environment smoke-free. It notes that even second-hand smoke can alter your baby's normal breathing pattern.

LONDON (REUTERS) - The prospect of stronger European manufacturing surveys and decisive monetary easing in Japan this week ought to bolster confidence that the global economy can look forward to better days.
It is definitely not yet time to break open the champagne.
The index derived from polls of purchasing managers across the euro zone, though recovering, is likely to remain well below the 50 threshold that signals expansion.
If the Bank of Japan bows to political pressure and relaxes policy more boldly, it is because the country's noxious cocktail of a huge debt burden, deflation and dwindling external surpluses threatens an eventual fiscal crunch.
And an expected contraction in Britain's economy when fourth-quarter figures are released on Friday will be a reminder, as was Germany's grim end to 2013, that Europe has to dig itself out of a deep hole.
"The real hard economic data are still very negative," said Mr Bert Colijn, an economist in Brussels with the Conference Board, a business research group. "There are improvements, but it still doesn't look that bright."
However, he said the economic news from the euro zone rim was not quite as troubling, and the mood was brightening among the core countries of the single currency area.
Ms Lena Komileva, managing director of G+ Economics, a London consultancy, said it was hard to argue against investors'new-found appetite for riskier assets given that the volatility of equity prices was approaching historical lows and yields on corporate bonds had fallen sharply.
"Financial stress indicators signal a significant improvement in the health of the global economy," she said.
Friday's solid fourth-quarter economic data from China reinforced that view.
Economists polled by Reuters expect an uptick in Thursday's advance purchasing managers' indexes for France and Germany as well as for the euro zone as a whole.
Germany's IFO business confidence survey on Friday is also projected to have risen for the third month in a row.
"The fact that business confidence measures are coming in more positive is a good sign," Mr Colijn commented.
Commerzbank said its leading indicator for the German economy reached an all-time high in December after the European Central Bank's pledge to buy the bonds of troubled economies eased fears of a break-up of the euro.
"We assume that increasingly more companies are gaining confidence and viewing business prospects more positively," said Commerzbank economist Ralph Solveen.
BNP Paribas is also bullish on Germany and is looking for a marked pick-up in growth.
In addition to the ECB's safety net, the global manufacturing cycle is pointing up, while a strong labour market and easy financial conditions are supporting consumption, economists Evelyn Herrmann and Ken Wattret said in a report.
"Moreover, should the global economy surpass expectations and euro zone market stress ease further, upside surprises would be likely to follow. A key issue in this respect would be higher export growth and confidence triggering a stronger rebound in investment," they said.
That is exactly what Japan would like to see, too.
To that end, the government of new Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and the Bank of Japan have agreed to set 2 per cent inflation as a new target, supplanting a softer 1 per cent 'goal', according to sources familiar with the central bank's thinking.
They said the BOJ, which meets on Monday and Tuesday, will also consider making an open-ended commitment to buy assets until the target is in sight.
Credit Suisse's global equity strategists said an easier monetary policy is justified to cushion the significant fiscal tightening on which Japan will have to embark before long to whittle down a government debt that has reached some 220 per cent of national income.
This task is all the more pressing because Japan is moving towards a current account deficit, which will make it more reliant on foreign investors to finance its budget shortfall, Credit Suisse argued.
Trade figures on Thursday will underline the deterioration in Japan's external accounts, with economists polled by Reuters forecasting the sixth consecutive monthly deficit.
Nomura reckons the deficit for all of 2012 widened to 6.6 trillion yen (S$90 billion) from 2.7 trillion in 2011.
Japanese equities have surged in anticipation of a more aggressive monetary policy stance, but not everyone is happy.
The accompanying slump in the yen has prompted Russia's deputy central bank governor to warn of a new round of 'currency wars' and the medium-term risk of running ultra-loose monetary policies is likely to be a theme of the World Economic Forum in Davos, which opens on Wednesday.
"I'm pretty worried about the new policies of Japan's newly elected government," German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said last week. "When you think of the surplus of liquidity on global financial markets, it is fuelled further by a wrong understanding of central bank policy."

On the seventh day, Joss Whedon created The Avengers. Marvel has released a new infographic movie timeline that highlights specific super-heroic instances in time and places them in the context of The Avengers and the individual movies that built up to it. While The Avengers franchise no doubt revolves around Robert Downey Jr.'s Iron Man, the new infographic has made him into a pseudo-Christ figure by demarcating the timeline with BIM ("Before Iron Man") and AIM ("After Iron Man"). While it's true that Iron Man had more movies than the rest of The Avengers (excluding 2003's Hulk, which the timeline wisely forgets), I'd much rather see the scenes relative to one Special Agent Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) or even the beloved Agent Coulson (Clark Gregg). Hit the jump to check it out.
The reportedly "Official Marvel Timeline" might have been featured in a new book released by Marvel titled, "Avengers: The Art of Marvel's THE AVENGERS," which you can find at Amazon. Here's the book's synopsis followed by the timeline:
Marvel Studios takes readers behind the scenes of one of the most eagerly anticipated films of all time in THE ART OF THE AVENGERS. This keepsake volume is an experiential journey through the entire film from beginning to end – featuring stunning concept art; full-color photographs from the set, as well as the finished film; excerpts from the script; and exclusive interviews with the cast and crew, including writer/director Joss Whedon, producer Kevin Feige and, of course, the Avengers themselves. From costume and production design to visual effects and creature creation, THE ART OF THE AVENGERS is a lavish showcase of all the artistry and creativity that brings the Marvel Cinematic Universe to life onscreen. Avengers Assemble!

Debug-Client-0.24 tests hang

This is perl 5, version 16, subversion 2 (v5.16.2) built for darwin-thread-multi-2level on OS X 10.8.3. It's a perlbrew build.
Most of the Debug-Client tests hang. t/05-io.t is the first to hang. It's inside Debug::Client->_initialize() waiting indefinitely at $sock->accept().
t/eg/05-io.pl starts and PERLDB_OPTS is set to the right host and port. However, when I run it manually I get this:

Say whatever you will about new USC football coach Steve Sarkisian, but this much can not be disputed after National Signing Day on Wednesday: The man has tremendous closing speed.
The Trojans entered the day still in the hunt for three impact players. By mid-afternoon they reeled in all three, with Long Beach Poly athlete JuJu Smith capping off a momentous day by announcing he was picking USC over UCLA, Notre Dame and Oregon.
Smith joined mammoth St. John Bosco offensive lineman Damian Mama and Serra cornerback Adoree Jackson, both of whom announced earlier in the day they were headed to USC. The dynamic trio pushed USC from 25th to within the top 15 in Rival.com's team recruiting rankings — or just ahead of cross-town rival UCLA.
It was a major coup for the Trojans, and a critical tell about Sarkisian and the value and emphasis he puts on recruiting.
Faced with the task not only of keeping the Trojans class together after taking over at USC in early December, but adding to it on the run, Sarkisian came out swinging and finished it off by whacking a three-run home run with the additions of Smith, Mama and Jackson.
He did so with the clock ticking ominously against him and while managing a numbers crunch that caps his roster at 70 scholarship players while everyone else in college football utilizes 85 scholarships.
"If there was ever a year we could have struggled recruiting-wise through this transition, this would have been it," Sarkisian said.
But they didn't.
And he did it right here in Los Angeles, where the tide is turning in favor of UCLA and energetic coach Jim Mora, who has the Bruins surging in the standings and in the eyes of top recruits.
More impressively, he did it with the Trojans still reeling from an early season coaching change.
"I'm really proud of our guys, I'm proud of this coaching staf," Sarkisian said.
And the best part for Trojans fans? Smith, Jackson and Mama were all heavily involved with the Bruins. USC didn't just helped itself — dramatically — it also stuck a dagger in the heart of its bitter rival.
The timing of which could not be better.
The last time the Trojans and Bruins went head-to-head in a competitive football setting, it was UCLA hammering USC for the second consecutive year.
The decisive win pretty much ended all hope of interim USC coach Ed Orgeron getting the job full-time and sent a clear message that UCLA and Jim Mora were now their rival's equal.
The Trojans were in need of a victory in the worst way, if nothing else to slow down the Bruins' growing momentum.
It will take a year or two — if not longer — to gauge the impact of USC's recruiting class, and there are no guarantees Jackson, Mama and Smith will amount to anything on the collegiate level.
But for one day, at least, the Trojans can claim victory over the Bruins. And in the all-important game of perception, it was a desperately needed win.
To go into Wednesday battling the Bruins for three decisive recruits — all three of whom are ranked in the top 100 nationally, with Jackson the sixth-ranked player according to Rivals.com, Smith No. 24 and Mama checking in at 39 — and beat them on all three, the Trojans closed out this class as strong as anyone in the country.
In the process, they sent a strong message that Sarkisian is every bit the effective recruiter he was touted to be at Washington.
Whether he can coach them up remains to be seen, of course. But you can't develop what you don't have, and in just over two months at USC, Sarkisian certainly showed he can accumulate talent.
"We're fired up," he said.
He should be.

Brick slips
Slips of original facing bricks
Brick slips are 2 cm thick slips of original facing bricks and as such have the same characteristics as the facing bricks in accordance with the Belgian Benor and European CE standards. This type of brick cladding is also lightweight and very easy to handle. Vandersanden offers its quality brick slips in the UK as well as other countries.
When applying these slips to your outside wall, the reduced thickness has the advantage that the normal detailing of windows and doors is maintained. This means you will not have high alteration costs. When applying brick cladding to interior walls, you will lose less space because of the reduced thickness. When joined, the brick slips have the same appearance as ordinary brickwork with full bricks.
Colours and sizes
You can choose from 5 sizes of brick slips:
- Module size 50: ± 190 x 20 x 50 mm
- Waal size: ± 210 x 20 x 50 mm
- Module size 65: ± 190 x 20 x 65 mm
- Thick size: +/- 210 x 20 x 65 mm
- Normal size: +/- 240 x 20 x 70 mm
Applying brick slips
Brick slips are easy to apply, without the need to make any additional alterations to doors or windows.

|General Information
|The west-skirts of the southern Misty Mountains, south of Glanduin
|Fair, fertile land
For a time - Stoors and Dwarves
Dunland was a part of Enedwaith east of the North-South Road, well south of the Glanduin and north of the Isen. It was a foothill region that fronted the western slopes of the southern Misty Mountains.[1] Far from the centres of population of Arnor and Gondor, its inhabitants at times included the Men known as Dunlendings as well as wandering Hobbits and Dwarves.
Dunland was a fair, fertile land. By the end of the Third Age being neither prosperous or civilised, it was sparsely inhabited by unorganised herdsmen and hillmen.[2]
[edit] History
[edit] The First Men in Dunland
In the early Second Age, Dunland first acquired a significant population of Men when those who had dwelt in the forests of Enedwaith south of the Gwathló fled from the Númenóreans after they began to cut down all of the trees.[3]
When the kingdoms of Arnor and Gondor were established early in the Third Age the land of Enedwaith (and the region of Dunland) were largely ignored, although the inhabitants were nominally subjects of Gondor.[4]
[edit] The Stoors Stay in Dunland
About T.A. 1150 the Hobbit-breed known as the Stoors left their early homeland in the upper vales of the Anduin and crossed the Redhorn Pass. Some settled in the Angle and others travelled down the Loudwater and settled in Dunland. While the Stoors in the Angle vacated that area in 1356, those living in Dunland remained until around 1630 when they migrated to the newly founded Shire.[5]
[edit] The Middle Years of the Third Age
The Great Plague swept through the north-west of Middle-earth in the years T.A. 1636 – 1637.[5] Dunland suffered, but to a lesser extent than in other regions due to their self-isolation. After the end of the royal line in Gondor the Dunlendings ceased to be subjects of the realm. During the years of the Watchful Peace (1975 – 2050), as the people of Calenardhon dwindled, the Dunlendings began drifting across the Isen.
The expansion of the Dunlendings to the southeast of Dunland was checked when the new realm of Rohan was established in 2510. In the subsequent centuries there was tension between the Dunlendings and the Rohirrim, which reached open war in the time of Helm Hammerhand.
Guarding the Gap of Rohan was the fortress of Isengard, where a hereditary guard watched for Gondor. However, by the time of the Beren, Steward of Gondor, these guards had mixed with Dunlendings, and it had become hostile to Gondor. To remedy this situation, in T.A. 2759[5] Beren gave Saruman the keys to Orthanc, to guard Isengard for Gondor.[6]
[edit] The Dwarves in Dunland
In T.A. 2770, Smaug the Dragon destroyed the Kingdom under the Mountain.[5] Dwarves fleeing from this disaster settled in Dunland, from where Thrór departed when he and his companion Nár journeyed to Moria in T.A. 2790. After the Battle of Azanulbizar, provoked by the Orcs' brutal slaying of Thrór, Thráin II and Thorin led the remnants of their followers back to Dunland but soon left (to eventually settle in the Ered Luin).[7]
[edit] The Later Third Age
Beren's decision to trust Saruman however had severe consequences, as before and around the War of the Ring, the Wizard inflamed the Dunlendings' grievance and enmity to the Rohirrim[8] and concentrated a great military force which besieged them at the Helm's Deep. After the Battle of the Hornburg, the Rohirrim allowed the surviving Dunlendings to return to their homes. The Rohirrim required that all hostilities cease, and that the Dunlendings retreat behind the Isen river again.[9]
After the War the four Hobbits, Frodo, Sam, Merry, and Pippin, with the company of Gandalf, Celeborn, Galadriel, and others journeyed through Dunland on their way home. While traversing the region they met two beggars, Saruman and Gríma Wormtongue.[10]
[edit] Etymology
Dunland meant "Hill Land" in the language of neighbouring Rohan, whose people named it after arriving in nearby Calenardhon in the later Third Age. Dunland is understood as "Brownland" (Old English dunn means "brown, dusky, dull"), referring to its inhabitants being swarthy and dark-haired . The element dunn had no relation to the Elvish root dûn meaning "west".[11]
[edit] Portrayal in adaptations
2001: The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring:
- Dunland is mentioned when a flock of Crebain appears when the Fellowship is in Hollin; and Legolas identifies them as such and being from Dunland.[12] The crebain later report to Saruman at Isengard.[13]
2011: The Lord of the Rings Online:
- Dunland is a massive region available for exploration, with three key areas: Dunland (proper), The Gap of Rohan, and Nan Curunír. Many tribes of the Dunlendings exist, with some warring against one another, or fighting against the White Hand. Dunland's largest and chief town/village is Galtrev.

Fisheries Improvement Project in Vietnam moving ahead with concrete actions
Posted on 18 February 2014
The completion of the Fisheries Improvement Program (FIP) Action Plan and its endorsement by the government of Vietnam and FIP stakeholders has set in motion an ambitious work plan, all aimed at meeting the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) scoring guideposts for each of the 3 MSC Principles.By Keith Symington
The Vietnam yellowfin tuna Fisheries Improvement Project (FIP) facilitated by the Asia Pacific Sustainable Seafood and Trade Network (APSSTN) in partnership with WWF Vietnam has entered into a new and important phase.
The completion of the FIP Action Plan and its subsequent endorsement by the government of Vietnam and FIP stakeholders has set in motion an agreed work plan with expected outcomes, activities, responsible stakeholders, and milestones, all aimed at meeting the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) scoring guideposts for each of the three MSC Principles. The Action Plan includes a logframe and FIP Tracking document, as well as Terms of Reference for each of the participating stakeholders assigned to complete specific activities and the required budget.
Finalizing the Action Plan also paved the way for a series of Partner Agreements negotiated with the private sector in support of the FIP and its work plan. These detail the agreed objectives, commitments and responsibilities of all recognized Partners of the FIP, and provide parameters for how FIP Partners should engage in the FIP, support implementation, and communicate their engagement. The Partner Agreements are developed between the individual company, APSSTN, and the relevant WWF National Office.
These Partner Agreements will allow us to utilize new and innovative approaches and methods with regard to FIP implementation, harmonized to WWF network protocols and guidelines; specifically as related to traceability, FIP communications, corporate engagement, and FIP financing.
On traceability, it will be a mandatory requirement of all recognized FIP Partners to have in place suitable traceability that, at minimum, meets this goal of differentiating FIP products and verifying their eligibility as "FIP fish". FIP Partners are required to have a traceability system in place within one year of signing their FIP Partner Agreement with WWF, and for this system to be audited by an independent 3rd party within 18 months of signing the Agreement.
The Partner Agreements also include guidelines which set the frame for business-to-business (B2B) communication activities by all recognized Partners. These protocols are largely based on new WWF network FIP communication and market recognition guidelines, and thus provide an opportunity to prototype and test new network approaches on the ground. The unique structure of the FIP partnerships - with over 10 potential FIP partners from four counties – also allows for direct collaboration with other individual WWF National Offices on corporate engagement.
A finance structure is under development led by APSSTN, specifically a FIP Sustainable Financing Plan to be adopted, supported and implemented by relevant parties. The Plan will outline strategies for a variety of funding mechanisms or streams, from "pay it backward" price premiums to direct FIP sponsorship. We will work with recognized Partners and their downstream clients to elicit input on these options and to implement the Plan when ready. We will meanwhile continue to engage directly with potential donors and sponsors – both within the commodity's supply chain and among external donors – to raise funds in support of FIP Action Plan implementation, as well as work closely with the Government of Vietnam to identify parallel and in-kind resources that may be appropriately applied.
These "front-end" activities on the industry agreements, corporate outreach and financing strategy are vital to establish clarity, shared understanding, and controllable structures for the FIP. These are crucial for not only effective implementation of improvements on the ground, but also to ensure that the FIP's estimated budget is secured including via private sector support.
However, it is also critical to keep a close focus on engagement of the government authorities and other stakeholders in implementing fisheries management improvements. Over the coming weeks APSSTN will work in support of WWF Vietnam in actualizing the work plan, beginning with priorities on governance, harvest management strategies, bycatch management and other key elements identified for improvement and to led by national, provincial and/or district level fisheries authorities.
Finally, on the issue of governance, the Vietnam FIP work plan, and its specific objectives around harvest management and engagement with regional decision-making bodies, presents a compelling opportunity to collaborate with others in the Asia Pacific to address identified deficiencies with the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC) management system, through strategic alignment between regional FIP activities on tuna.
We will be sure to provide periodic updates of progress for this comprehensive, multi-year FIP initiative. Please keep a watch of the APSSTN website for further documentation and information on the FIP, or contact directly Keith Symington (FIP coordinator) at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Mapping the future of health
How data and digital maps help us advance health for all
Este Geraghty spends much of her time looking at maps. Not your everyday Google Maps, but complex, multi-layered geographic charts illustrated using enormous amounts of data from a variety of sources. In the research world it's referred to as "spatial epidemiology and geographic information systems (GIS)." As a physician at UC Davis and as a deputy director focusing on health statistics and informatics with the California Department of Public Health, Geraghty's work focuses on using the latest mapping technologies and data collection to better understand and address the interplay between health and the environment.
Recently, for example, Geraghty and a team of researchers used GIS mapping tools to produce what is believed to be the first public health study of the aerial mosquito spraying method for preventing West Nile virus. The study analyzed emergency department records from Sacramento area hospitals during and immediately after aerial sprayings in the summer of 2005.
Correlating patient information with the flight-path data enabled the team to determine there was no increase in specific diagnoses that are considered most likely to be associated with pesticide exposure, including respiratory, gastrointestinal, skin, eye and neurological conditions. The study appeared in the May-June 2013 issue of Public Health Reports.
"The research tools and technologies we now have are enabling us to identify new ways to avoid harm, improve care and advance health for all. Our West Nile study is only the beginning."
— Este Geraghty
"Unfortunately, West Nile virus is endemic in California and the United States, and the controversy of mosquito management will likely arise every summer," says Geraghty, an associate professor of clinical internal medicine and lead author of the study. "Findings from studies such as this one help public health and mosquito control agencies better understand the risks and benefits of their practices."
West Nile virus has become an increasingly serious problem throughout the country and may become more of a threat as the climate warms. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, West Nile virus is the leading cause of viral encephalitis in the United States. It is transmitted to humans and animals through the bite of an infected mosquito. Mosquitoes become infected with the virus when they feed on infected birds.
Geraghty's unique study evaluated emergency room visits in Sacramento County hospitals on days that pesticides were sprayed as well as the three days following spraying. Spraying was done in north Sacramento over three nights, and in south Sacramento over four nights in August 2005. During the time of the study, an ultra-low volume of pyrethrin insecticide was used for spraying. The chemical is derived from an African chrysanthemum and acts by blocking chemical signals at nerve junctions in insects. It is the same pesticide used to treat head lice in children and to kill fleas and ticks in pets.
More than 250,000 emergency room visits were analyzed and stratified by 785 diagnostic codes. Emergency room visits were classified by specific diagnostic categories, including respiratory, gastrointestinal, skin, eye and neurologic diseases. Importantly, they found that exposure to aerial spraying was not associated with increased rates of emergency department visits for any of these conditions.
Geraghty notes that potential long-term effects of aerial spraying could not be addressed in her study and would be extremely difficult to investigate in human populations. She says it would be worthwhile to reproduce the study to analyze the possible short-term impacts of other pesticides and spraying techniques.
"This is an exciting and new approach to medical research," she adds. "Some refer to it as 'geomedicine' because it provides such an important vantage point from which to explore population health with more precision and accuracy. The research tools and technologies we now have are enabling us to identify new ways to avoid harm, improve care and advance health for all. Our West Nile study is only the beginning."

Austrian citizen Kitty Werthmann, an eyewitness to Anschluss, Hitler's annexation of Austria, confounds recent efforts by gun control advocates to re-write history, by re-affirming that the Nazis did indeed confiscate guns belonging to ordinary citizens.
"The only way we can prevent accidents and crimes is for you to turn-in your guns at the police station, and then we won't have any crimes or any accidents. If you didn't turn in your guns – capital punishment. So we turned in our guns."

Originally published at the Gatestone Institute.
Public prosecutors in Spain have dropped charges of "advocating gender violence" against a Muslim cleric who, on April 2013, preached a two-hour sermon in Spanish, entitled "The Queens of Islam," during which he made a number of pronouncements about the role of women in Spanish society, including: "Any woman who wears perfume and leaves the house and walks past men who can smell her perfume is a fornicator, and every glance she gets is a fornication."
The case involves Malik Ibn Benaisa, a Muslim imam based in Ceuta, a Spanish exclave in North Africa where Muslims constitute about 50% of the total population.
Benaisa also said that women should be banned from wearing blue jeans and high heels and from leaving the house unless their hands and face are completely covered.
The comments, which were aired on Spanish public television, enraged women's rights activists and triggered a nationwide debate over when religious speech becomes abusive and crosses the line into "sexual discrimination" and "gender violence."
After Benaisa's sermon was re-broadcast on Spanish public television for a second time during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan in July, the Secretary for Gender Equality for the Spanish Socialist Party in Ceuta, Sandra López Cantero, accused Benaisa of being an "advocate for gender violence" and called on public prosecutors to investigate the imam for violating the Spanish Penal Code.
During a press conference on July 23, Cantero recited quotes from Benaisa's sermon: "A women cannot show her face or bare hands, she cannot wear high heeled shoes, she cannot wear blue jeans, she must wear a scarf to cover her chest, she cannot pluck her eyebrows and she cannot wear perfume because if she uses it she becomes a fornicator. A woman must keep her head down because a jealous husband can cause problems with other men. A woman should be in total submission to her husband. She has an obligation to wear the veil."
Cantero added: "We will not allow anyone to hide behind any religion or any culture in order to advocate violence. The Socialist Party will not allow any attack on the dignity of women, wherever it may come from. We will not allow the advocacy of violence, especially in a public medium."
For his part, the President of the center-right Government of Ceuta, Juan Jesús Vivas, said in a statement that he "manifests his defense of the unequivocal values enshrined in the Spanish Constitution, and in particular, those relating to non-discrimination and equality between men and women."
Vivas added: "The Government of Ceuta believes that all should endeavor, each within the scope of their responsibilities, to reconcile respect for all faiths with the supremacy of democratic values that are the pillars of our social order and of coexistence."
Amid considerable media controversy across Spain, Benaisa organized a press conference at the Ibn Rochd Benzúa mosque in Ceuta to defend himself. Surrounded by some 150 Muslim female supporters, Benaisa said he lamented the "de-contextualization" of his statements, which he said were aimed exclusively at "Muslim women" in accordance with "the teachings of the Prophet and the Koran."
According to Benaisa, "My message has always been to advise and not to impose, as this is not part of Islam, because in the Koran Allah makes it clear that there is no compulsion in religion."
Benaisa also said that the term "fornicating" was not offensive in tone and that its essence was applicable to both men and women, "who when preening themselves excessively before going out are seeking to be unfaithful to their partners and to Allah."
Spanish public prosecutors have decided to give Benaisa the benefit of the doubt. After analyzing Benaisa's sermon, the district attorney concluded that the imam had not broken any laws.
In a statement dated August 7, the Ceuta District Attorney said that labelling women as fornicators is not a crime: "In relation to domestic violence, the law refers to concrete action in the form of threats, injuries, coercion or abuse, while the sexual or religious discrimination section of Article 510 of the Penal Code refers to encouraging discrimination, hatred or violence. This did not occur at the conference in question."

Move over, Michelle Obama, cause Mama's in the house.
That's right, Michelle Obama's mother is moving into the White House.
Marian Robinson quit her job 22 months ago to help care for the Obama girls while Michelle and Barack started campaigning. She's now 71 and a retired secretary and she's moving into the White House on a "trial basis" before giving up her home in Chicago. While the presidential campaign was underway, Ms. Robinson cooked the girl's meals, shuffled them to their various activities, helped with homework and kissed them goodnight. That's a big job, but it was for a big reason.
That's something I admire–a family that figures out how to care for one another and when it's the appropriate time to do so. I'm not too worried how she'll be treated a few years from now when she needs elder-care or caregiving. She's invested in her family, and love is almost always returned.
The White House will be full again, with a father, mother, two children, a grandmother, and a dog. I like the idea of those old rooms bustling with the sound of feet running up and down the halls, of a grandmother's stern call to order and the yelp of a dog.
Multigenerational families aren't new. People used to live together under one roof out of necessity–to run the farm, to continue the family business. In fact, it's on the rise.
More than 3.6 million parents lived with adult children in 2007, according to census data. That number is up 67 percent from 2000. And in the new economic light, more and more families are choosing to "bunk up" to save on expenses, and as a necessity for those who have lost their jobs.
Somehow, we got away from that in my generation. We got independent, perhaps too independent thinking that money would be enough–or as my southern daddy would say, "We got too big for our britches."
My adoptive mother grew up in a multigenerational house. She was surrounded by aunts and uncles (her mother was divorced and raising two children on her own in the 1910's). My mother's memories are good ones. A large table with lots of food and conversation. She said she felt as if she had many mothers, not just one–and it helped that her mother could work full time and her two children had someone at home.
Times haven't changed that much. Marian Robinson is an example of millions of grandmother's who are either raising or helping to raise grandchildren. We need each other. We need our mothers and fathers to be a part of their grandchidren's lives. That's how values and stories get passed down.
From all I've read, Marian Robinson is going to be a busy woman. She's noted for her independence and will only stay if she's needed. She may even purchase a home nearby just so she has some privacy and doesn't have to deal with the day to day fuss life in politics entails. She's no where near slowing down and has recentlycompeted in the Senior Games running the 50 and 100 yard dash. No matter where she chooses to sleep, she'll be an active part of the Obama household and everyone will benefit from that.
It's not that her value as a grandmother is in throwing in a load of laundry or chauffeuring the girls around, it's that the children will be influenced by her wisdom and will have that sense of family and continuity that's so important. It's easy to caught up in the "doing" and not the "being." The most valuable gift our elders have to offer is simply who they are–a part of us. Their life, their experiences, their stories shape and define future generations.
I have seen families take advantage of their elders–used them as free babysitters–and that's not healthy for anyone. Sometimes we have to say, "No, not tonight, I have plans."
As my mother moved in with my husband, our daughters and myself, I knew I had to strike a balance. My mother had to fit into our home, and in return, I (we) needed to treat her with respect and privacy. These are the concerns multigenerational families face. You don't know exactly what your issues are going to be until you're there, all living together. One person becomes needy, another bossy–someone needs more privacy than another, and…somebody always gets jealous. It's just human nature and no matter how old we are, we still get jealous or needy at times.
My mother was always a part of our lives, and I'm so grateful that even though she was an older grandmother (she was 74 when her first granddaughter was born), she got right to being an active grandmother. She used to come over and get our girls and take them for an overnight stay as soon as they were out of diapers. They remember going to eat breakfast at Shoney's with my mom and how proud she was showing them off to anyone who walked by, and then going to K Mart to hold the dolls. She'd buy them something small and even though these times weren't fancy, they were just enough to begin to build a relationship–and memories. Our daughters remember my mother's songs, her prayers and Bible stories, her stories–and even her quirks, her humor, her fears–everything that made her a whole person. So when it came time for my mother to move in with us, they expected it. In many ways, she was already a part of our lives.
Just the other day, our 21 year old daughter said she was glad her grandmother lived with us. That's saying a lot, because she was there through it all, the Alzheimer's, the heart attacks, and the end of life. She's now able to measure the whole of the experience and not just focus on a particularly dark time.
What I wish for the Obama's is that everyone will be patient and understanding with one another during this time of change. My advice, if I may offer a little–be quick to forgive, laugh at your mistakes, value your togetherness, and respect each other's differences.
Getting used to living together and under such scrutiny is bound to cause some nerves to be razzled. Just as with any family, it takes time to learn to live together. But it's worth it. There are times when we need each other, and that's the best definition of what makes a family that I can think of.
In the end, the Obama girls will be surrounded by family, by legacy, and by love.
I wish them (and all of us) the best.

Monday raiding - Finally, goodbye to Vizier
The other group was already saved to MSV so it looks like completing that was out of the question. A bit of a shame really! So much yummy gear to be had... so we decided to go to Heart of Fear and bash our heads on Vizier for a bit. We got Aza and Souglyy in to replace Priestietute and Slurs and off we went.
Tank: Tout
Healers: Navimie, Gutsy
DPS: Moopie, Lushnek, Sevros, Balinar, Sabrehawk, Souglyy, Azadelta
We got some good attempts, but it was always those damned mind controls which were annoying as hell! But finally, on the 8th attempt (or so it felt like) we managed to pull it together and we got it down. It was a huge relief! I was thrilled to bits, and Souglyy got a neck and there was some shaman stuff which we DE'd.
Some of the mind controls were hilarious. Balinar always gets his seals changed and all his CD used when he gets mind controlled. Aza was laughing one time because one mind control he put down a portal. However, the computer must have heard him laughing because the next MC he summoned his pet, soul linked it and sacrificed it (I could be wrong). One particularly bad MC, Moopie and Aza turned on me and beat me to death in just under 2 seconds. I couldn't even hit deterrence (I had symbiosed Sabrehawk to try and get some survivability happening during MCs). I remember reading out the Moopie hits Navimie for 50k, 50k, 50k, Azadelta casts chaos bolt on Navimie for 208k... bastards.

David Letterman And Joaquin Phoenix Discuss Fair Use As Letterman Threatens To Sue
from the all-on-live-TV deptYou probably recall the infamous Joaquin Phoenix appearance on David Leterman from last year, where Phoenix acted somewhat crazy:
You see, earlier this week, Letterman had Phoenix back on to discuss the hoax, and where things got interesting was where Letterman began discussing fair use and publicity rights and demanded money from Phoenix. Letterman points out that Affleck's lawyers had initially said that they could use Letterman in their movie because, as a documentary, it was "fair use." But... since it's no longer a documentary, Letterman suggested his normal fees should apply. While it was all done in a joking fashion, as THResq notes in the link above, the fact that Letterman actually quotes "fair use," and such suggests that perhaps he really has been discussing this with the lawyers.
Letterman: OK, so now I want some money...Nobody ever asked us if Dave was going to be in film. You have to license this out. Give us the license fee. And that was the last we heard. Then we went to the lawyers and the lawyers said, "Yeah, you can. If you want, you can probably sue these people." Then your attorney said, "No, it's fair use because it's a documentary." Well hoo ha, guess what? It's no documentary. It was a theatrical ruse, right?And the video, which should start at the key point in the discussion:
Phoenix: OK, yes. So you are going to sue us?
Letterman: And so I'm in it. And as you mentioned here, at a pivotal moment of the film, where "Oh my god what has happened and Letterman crushes me. Oh, my life is over, my career. What have I done? What have I done??" Now you owe me a million bucks.
Phoenix (mumbles): A million bucks.
Letterman: All the promotion you got from being on here that night in your Dr. Drew 'Oh My God,' all of that is worth something. That's free publicity. So we want something for that. And my talent fee. You know, it's not my first rodeo. I'd like a little taste of this as well. So you and Casey get together with your little buddy and come up with a million. That's all I'm asking.
Phoenix: OK, we'll work it out. But, um, can we talk about it privately?

Regularly we will be posting a piece inspired by the rich history and archives of AFSC. The below post is the first in the series. - Lucy
When I asked AFSC's archivist, Don Davis, for some information about the history of the organization's relationship with Quakers, he handed me a flash drive with over 100 documents. There were some themes: A few looked at the main bones of contention between the two bodies. Most fretted over what was to be done. But throughout all of them was a kind of nostalgia for the halcyon days when Quakers and the AFSC worked together in meaningful, impactful ways. Why couldn't the AFSC and Quakers just get along like they used to? What does this tell us about our own failings and the failings of Quaker organizations?
After slogging through minute after minute from committees attempting to answer these questions, I came across a memo by then General Secretary Steve Cary entitled "Some thoughts on the Society of Friends/AFSC relationship" in 1983. Perhaps two or three lines in, he writes:
"One can say that we all existed as one big happy family for only the first three years of the AFSC's life, and have been vexed with frictions ever since."
Yes, that's right: AFSC and Quakers have been on the rocks for the past 92 years.
When I read this line, I was reminded of a conversation I had last year with Quaker scholar Douglas Gwynn about early Friends. Having encountered endless conversations on "what to do" about today's brittle Quakerism, I was convinced that there must have been some magical time in our history when all Quakers were simultaneously radical, spiritually pure and organizationally unified. I wanted Doug to shed light on what had "gone wrong" with Quakers, and why we still can't get ourselves together.
You know what I learned? We were never radical, spiritually pure and organizationally unified. Or some Quakers were, for the first few years of the movement. But our collective body has always been shifting, adjusting to current political and economic circumstances, influenced by the world around us and societal trends in thinking and being.
It follows that whether you're conservative, radical, or somewhere in between, there is always a reason to be upset with the work of the AFSC. Digging through the archives, I found several accounts of conservative Friends concerned about AFSC's "anti-American" perspectives on communism during the 50s and 60s. Likewise, I have heard plenty of radical baby-boomers express disappointment (likely well founded) that the organization failed to play a significant enough role in the civil rights movement.
Many Quakers would like the AFSC to provide more opportunities for Quaker engagement, and believe the organization should be training future Quaker peace-makers. On the other end of the spectrum, there are many Friends who agree that Quakers' upper-middle class yearnings for fulfillment through patronizing and ineffective "service" should not be the work of AFSC. The point is: AFSC is never doing enough. Or it's doing too much of a bad thing.
What we can all agree upon, though, is that it is going to take more than one person or organization to create the Kingdom of God on earth. We need to build allies, to use our different understandings of social justice to create real and lasting peace. I see my peers doing it in our social media, in our artistic communities, in our social movements. We want to create something new together. Occupy was "diffuse" because it supported work that was already happening throughout the country. It was speaking out to create a major cultural shift in what we value and how we work together. We are no longer satisfied with narrow-mindedness. We yearn to be whole.
If popular opinion about the AFSC is influenced by the ethos of change, then Quakers should stop worrying and start collaborating. To borrow from the fall of 2011: We are the 99%. Instead of fretting about our brokenness, let's be whole right now. Let's start dreaming together.
Check out the full text of Cary's memo, as well as other documents from our archives.

Man suspected of groping child in Walmart toy department arrested
Investigators say man seen on surveillance video
Police have arrested and charged a Haverhill man after a child reported being groped Sunday night in the toy department of the Walmart in Plaistow, New Hampshire.
Ronald Beausoleil, 33, of Haverhill, Mass. was arrested Monday night and charged with aggravated felonious sexual assault, theft, and operating after suspension.
Investigators said the 9-year-old child was briefly separated from a parent at the store. Police said a male stranger touched the child inappropriately and then fled the store.
The child told a store employee what happened. Police said the child wasn't injured but was treated by medical personnel as a precaution.
Deputies patrolling the Walmart/Home Depot parking lot discovered a vehicle that matched the description of the suspect vehicle.
The driver of the vehicle was identified as Beausoleil, and was identified as the suspect from the reported assault earlier the previous day.
Beausoleil's bail was set at $25,000 cash and he was transported to the Rockingham County House of Correction. He was scheduled to be arraigned in the Plaistow District Court Tuesday morning.

Taylor Swift Sets a New Record at the Staples Center
Move over Madonna, Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake! Taylor Swift has arrived and she's taken over a major record previously held by all of those famous pop stars.
After her fourth 2013 Red Tour show at the famed Staples Center in Los Angeles -- slated for this Saturday (Aug. 24) -- the singer will have logged 11 sellouts total, the most of any artist at that venue besides Latin pop group Mana.
The L.A. Times reports that Swift passed Madonna and Timberlake, who each had seven capacity shows, after show Monday (Aug. 19). After Tuesday's concert, she passed Spears, who had logged eight sellouts. Swift has two more sold-out shows on the schedule -- the aforementioned Aug. 24 show, as well as Friday (Aug. 23).
Needless to say, those are some pretty impressive names that Swift cruised ahead of. Four sellouts in Los Angeles is huge, but to pass popular music icons like those puts the pop-country crossover singer on a whole other level.
Selling out the Staples Center four more times on one tour is impressive, but something tells us that Swift may nab a 12th, 13th and 14th sellout in the future, making that honor all her own.

Eureka! Backcountry 2
The Backcountry 2 has been discontinued. If you're looking for something new, check out the best three-season tents for 2020.
Historic Range: $149.99-$189.97
Reviewers Paid: $130.00-$160.00
4-star: 6
3-star: 3
2-star: 1

Got this tent as kind of a hand-me-down, and took it out last weekend for the first time on a short backpacking trip in Texas Hill Country. This tent preformed magnificently! I have used Eureka! tents since I was old enough to know what a tent is (over 2 decades), and they have always kept me dry, this one especially.
Setup is very easy and quick with clips to hold the body to the lightweight aluminum poles. Rain fly gives complete coverage nearly all the way to the ground on two sides. As for coverage on the other two sides, do some planning if there's gonig to be weather and set up the tent with the narrow ends toward the approaching weather and the open sides are not an issue. Tub is factory seam sealed so no leaks. Space inside is enough for two somewhat larger people though it is a little cozy, and don't bring a lot of gear inside with you. Good ventilation and no condensation. We had a pretty bad thunderstorm overnight and were completely dry in the morning despite a small puddle UNDER the tent.
The only reason this tent doesn't get 5 stars is it is a little heavy, there are lighter tents out there. Overall a great value for a great all around tent!
Design: three-season freestanding half-dome
Sleeps: 2
Ease of Setup: very easy and quick
Price Paid: n/a
I have owned this tent for 10 years. I have used this tent in many rainstorms with no leaks.
- Pack size good for backpacking.
- Good ventilation.
- Don't like the pole sleeves, would rather have clips.
- The zipper is starting to separate from itself after 10 years.
I'm ready to upgrade to a 4-season.

The Eureka 2 is the biggest, 7.5' X 5' hybrid single wall tent. And it's the only tent around with the small 13" tent poles for bike panniers. I like the tent so much I got 3 over the years and the new one is all seam taped for leaks so you don't have to seal any seams. I like I can open the door and window from the top about 6" in the rain and keep a breeze aerating thru the tent in the rain, something you can't do with other tents. The only problem I got with the tent is its the new door in it. The rain runs down the tent door and seeps thru the zipper at the bottom in a rain storm.
Design: three season freestanding dome
Sleeps: 2
Ease of Setup: very easy to set up
Weight: 5 pounds
Price Paid: $130
This is my second Eureka! tent and I bought it because of good past experience (27 yrs of it) in a Timberline 4 outfitter! I'll write that review next. I have only used the Backcountry 2 once, on a 4 day in Allegheny NF, Penn. The first night out it poured all night, but I was dry and snug. After reading the other reviews, I do see how wind could drive rain under the fly and into the tent,but not my experience.
The fly does well in straight down rain, that I can attest to! The tent is simple to set up, though the long poles are a little awkward. I'll get used to that. I really like the room inside. I generally hike solo and I have plenty of room for gear and ample headroom.
Design: 3 season freestanding
Sleeps: 2
Ease of Setup: Simple
Weight: 5lbs.6ozs. w/o stuffsack
Price Paid: $150
I have used this tent several times in the past couple of years, most recently on the Northville - Placid Trail in the Adirondacks. It is an inexpensive tent and it basically did what I asked it to do...keep me dry and out of the elements. I was wet for most of nine days and the tent held up well. It has plenty of room and is light enough for long hikes. I don't pay a lot for my equipment, so two and four hundred dollar tents are not on my list. The Backcountry is easy to set up and easy to pack. I like the short poles a lot and found that I can open this thing up for ventilation or shut it down for warmth. It's a good addition to my gear and I have been comfortable with it in all four seasons.
Design: three season free standing
Sleeps: 2
Ease of Setup: easy
Weight: 5lbs. 12 oz.
Price Paid: $130
First time I used the tent was in the Delaware Water Gap mountain (more like hill) tops. It rained very hard the first night. The tent leaked from the walls just above the tub line. Rain forced by rain penetrates the tent walls. Vestibule does not cover the front and back tent walls so it is exposed.
This tent does well, in calm weather, or mild rains without wind. However, it is a terrible shelter in really bad conditions.
Good part:
Fairly light.
Roomy enough for two people without backpacks inside the tent.
Fairly descent opening and descent ventilation.
Design: three-season light weather free standing tent
Sleeps: 2
Ease of Setup: easy setup
Weight: about 4 pounds.
First time I used it at Great Smokey Mountain, during raining, water drips from the top through the seams. Very bad experience for me.
Sleeps: 2
I got this tent kind of "on-the-run" and i did not make the usual investigation that I do for every purchase I make.
This tent is very lightweight (in comparison) and provides an awesome view just when you wake up, the problems I see are the condensation, most of the times i've slept in this tent I've woken up in the middle of the night completly soaked.
The High-Low ventilation thing, does quite well to keep it cool inside, the problem comes when you want to keep it warm. Or when it rains...then is when you start having the condensation issue.
Other than that, the tent is great for summer, and dry climate camping, and it holds together well to great windspeeds.
Design: Three season freestanding
Sleeps: 2
Ease of Setup: Extremly easy
Weight: light enoughf for a demanding hiker
Price Paid: Don't recall
I carried this tent for 850 miles from Springer Mountain to Waynesboro on the Appalachian Trail, and used it just about every night for almost 4 months, during all types of weather conditions from hot to cold to rain to snow to wind.
I liked having all that space (7ft X 5ft, and 3 1/2 feet tall). It was a great tent unless it rained. Things got damp, but never really soaked. The problems seemed to be when it was windy and rainy at the same time. The fly was just inadequate and water always ended up getting in. Mostly drips that would run down the sides of the tent on the inside and then create tiny puddles along the edges, and depending on the slope they might run and collect a tiny puddle in one corner or on one side. Using it solo, this was usually just annoying, as I always had room to shift everything around so that my gear and I didn't get wet. On the trail for a few months, you learn to deal with being wet and slimey, and if you haven't had a shower for a week, maybe you need to get a little wet.
All in all, it's not a perfect tent, but most of the time I liked it.
Design: freestanding
Ease of Setup: easy
Weight: 5 lbs
This 2 person tent is very tight on interior room for two people but hey it's a small, high performance backpacking tent! Very light and packable. The ventalation is exellent, the construction is sound and the tie-down loops on the outside of the rain fly are a real plus, especially in rough weather. I rode out a nasty storm last summer at Sawtooth lake, elev. 9500', in Idaho.
Torrential rain, water running under the tent and very windy and not a leak in sight!! But you have to stake the tent down for it to hold up under conditions like these.
Great tent, would recommend it highly!!
Design: 3 Season Freestanding
Sleeps: 2
Ease of Setup: Quick and easy setup
Weight: 4 lbs. 9 0z.
Price Paid: $155
This is an easy to set up tent that is lightweight, breathable, and packs small. Due to its lack of a vestible, it is really a one person tent with room for gear. On a recent trip to Death Valley, CA, a group I was with expirienced high winds and heavy rains (even in the desert). My tent survived both the winds and the rain due to many guy lines and thorough seam sealing. However, another person's identical Backcountry 2 was destroyed in the 60+ mph winds, though he did not guy line it out. This tent is best suited for more protected areas such as forests.
Design: 3 Season dome
Sleeps: 2
Ease of Setup: Very easy to set up

College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources introduce new anthurium in honor of UH Centennial celebrationUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources
"We're very pleased that we can celebrate the college's and university's centennial with this beautiful anthurium, and at the same time create a new future product for Hawai'i's anthurium growers," said CTAHR Dean Andrew Hashimoto.
The ʻCentennial' anthurium is a tulip-type spathe, about 4.75" long and 2.5" wide that is colored white with green stripes (veins) where the green coloration is expected to become more prominent as the flower matures.
According to CTAHR researchers, the green and white coloration in ʻCentennial' is representative of the university's colors. They describe the green stripes that come together to form one flower a symbol of the diverse cultures that represent the life-blood of the university. Further, the unusual tulip-shaped spathe is reminiscent of the flame that appears in the middle of the UH seal, with its upward sweep symbolic of the university's quest for academic excellence.
Professor Emeritus Dr. Haruyuki Kamemoto, Dr. Heidi Kuehnle, Dr. Tessie Amore, John Kunisaki, Joanne Lichty and Dr. Janice Uchida teamed up to develop ʻCentennial.' Kamemoto is credited for establishing UH's anthurium research program in 1950 to develop disease resistant and novel anthuriums for the flower industry. This highly successful program has released more than 40 new commercial varieties since 1963, which helped anthuriums become the state's most valuable cut-flower crop. Cut anthuriums had a farm-gate value of $4.7 million in 2005.
"ʻCentennial' was in the right place at the right time—it happened to capture the spirit of the current centennial celebration," said Kuehnle. "It recognizes in particular the contributions that research in tropical flower breeding has made to the rich agricultural heritage of Hawaiʻi."
ʻCentennial' yields approximately six flowers per plant per year and is not expected to be commercially available for a few years until enough plantings are made for production that can supply year-round sales.
