text: A certain member of TTAG’s writing stable argued that Cheaper than Dirt should be allowed back into gun guy’s good graces. The company has, after all, resumed the sales of modern sporting rifles, written a big check to the Second Amendment Foundation and joined the industry boycott of New York law enforcement agencies. What they’ve never done: issued a public apology for their post-Newtown withdrawal of AR-15-style rifles from their site and their attempts to disguise the decision as an inventory issue. (What they have done: raise their prices significantly to exploit the sellers’ market.) Until and unless they fess-up, as far as I’m concerned, Cheaper Than Dirt! can pound sand. The ad above? More grist for their new enemies’ mill.

Dartmouth researchers have found areas in the brain that indicate bilingualism. The finding sheds new light on decades of debate about how the human brain's language centers may actually be enhanced when faced with two or more languages as opposed to only one. The study was presented at the Society for Neuroscience's annual meeting on October 14-18 in Atlanta, Ga.

The researchers used an optical imaging technology called Near Infrared Spectroscopy (or NIRS) as a new "microscope" into the human brain's higher cognitive capacities, and they are among the first to take advantage of this technology in this way. NIRS has been used in the detection of, for example, breast tumors and heart blood flow. The Dartmouth team used NIRS to measure changes in the brain's oxygen levels while people performed specific language and cognitive tasks.
Authors of the study are Mark Shalinsky, former post-doctoral fellow at Dartmouth now a research fellow at Massachusetts General Hospital; Ioulia Kovelman, formerly a Dartmouth graduate student currently a post-doctoral fellow at MIT; Melody Berens, currently a post-doctoral fellow at Dartmouth; and Laura-Ann Petitto, the study's senior scientific director, and professor and chair of the Department of Education at Dartmouth.
"NIRS provides much the same information as functional magnetic resonance imaging or 'fMRI,' but has several advantages over fMRI," says Shalinsky, the study's electro-neurophysiologist who created the analysis programs to use NIRS technology in this new way. NIRS technology is quiet, small and portable. It's only about the size of a desktop computer. It's child friendly, and it tolerates a participant's body movements, which makes it ideal for studying language where participants move their mouths to speak."
The NIRS showed similar increased brain activity across all people—monolinguals and bilinguals—in the brain's classic left-hemisphere language regions when they were speaking in only one language (that is, in "monolingual mode"), involving the left Broca's area and left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), which are brain areas key to language and verbal working memory, respectively.
The researchers examined 20 people ranging from 18 to 30 years old (average age was 21.1 years). Ten participants were monolingual (who spoke only English), and ten were bilingual (who spoke both English and Spanish from around birth). Language processing tasks were given to monolingual people speaking their one language while undergoing NIRS brain recordings. The monolingual speakers' behavioral and brain activity were then compared to the bilingual speakers' behavioral and brain activity while performing identical language processing tasks in "monolingual mode" (that is, in Spanish, and in English) or in "bilingual mode" (that is, when simultaneously processing and rapidly switching between their two languages). The Dartmouth team used the Hitachi ETG-4000 NIRS system.
"For decades, people have wondered whether the brains of bilingual people are different from monolinguals. People also worry that the brains of bilingual children are somehow negatively impacted by early experience with two languages," explains Petitto, who also holds the John Wentworth Endowed Chair in the Social Sciences. "The present findings are significant because they show that the brains of bilinguals and monolinguals are similar, and both process their individual languages in fundamentally similar ways. The one fascinating exception is that bilinguals appear to engage more of the neural landscape available for language processing than monolinguals, which is a very good thing."
The team proposes that bilingual language processing provides a new window into the extent of what nature's neural architecture for language processing could be, if only we used it. Petitto adds, "The irony is that we may find it is the monolingual that is not taking full advantage of the neural landscape for language and cognitive processing than nature could have potentially made available."
She says that this research advances the path for using NIRS brain imaging technology both to understand the neural underpinnings of all human language and especially to discover the secrets of the bilingual brain.
This research is funded by grants to Petitto from the National Institutes of Health and the Dana Foundation.

The first stop on my tour of bird habitat areas in the Colorado River Delta was the Cienega de Santa Clara. We drove through miles of vast silty delta, places completely devoid of any vegetation, to a large wetland. We then traveled by boat, traversing a large maze of reeds and patches of open water covering more than 30,000 acres. Birds everywhere.
The Colorado River Delta is located just south of Yuma Arizona and Mexicali, Mexico. While my work at Audubon focuses on the habitats at the Salton Sea, there are a lot of similarities between California’s largest lake and the Delta. Both are fed by Colorado River, or used to be, and both are systems very much manipulated by human development. Knowing what I know about how important the Salton Sea is to birds and the people that live there, I was curious to visit the Delta and see the habitats that have been recreated, either accidentally or on purpose. I wanted to see the small patches of a delta habitat that still give wildlife a home, in an area that once covered almost 2 million acres as the river swayed back and forth across the large plain. Long ago, the meandering of the Delta sometimes brought water north to fill the Salton Sink, forming what is still the Salton Sea.
Whether manmade or natural, what is left in the Colorado River Delta is what we have to work with, restore, and protect. And I was happy to see just that happening with our colleagues in Mexico at ProNatura and the Sonoran Institute.
If I hadn’t asked, I would have thought that the wetland of Cienega de Santa Clara had always been there. The birds seemed to think so. Judging by the species alone, I could have been at the Salton Sea – the same cast of characters were evident. White Pelicans formed lines to school fish around their feet. Forster’s Terns dove gracefully ahead of us. Double-crested Cormorants perched on emerged rocks and branches, and dowitchers zipped back and forth to nearby mudflats. All this was created in a similar way to what keeps the Salton Sea going today. In 1976, a channel was built into the Delta to deposit agricultural runoff, and it soon formed its own habitat. Looking at it, you would never know that it started this way. It is now part of a Biosphere Reserve and is studied and protected by ProNatura. One look outside this Cienega and you can see the original delta, lying dry, waiting for a flood.
We next visited a variety of restoration projects along sections of the Colorado River that now have some water delivery and benefited from the great Pulse Flow of 2014. ProNatura and Sonoran Joint Venture have identified key sites along old oxbows and former wetlands to return them to a little semblance of their former glory. With occasional, dense stands of riparian forest, with warblers flitting about and trails of beaver evident along the banks, these small pockets represent a living museum of what once covered vast areas.
Last, we visited a site that was stark by contrast. In 2014, an agreement was reached between the United States and Mexico to release a spring pulse flow of water from a dam at the US/Mexico border down into the Delta for the first time in about 50 years, rehydrating sections of the Colorado River where whole communities, and certainly the children in those communities, never knew the dry river bed could actually have a flowing river in it. The pulse flow brought those communities to life, celebrating water, bringing their families, their dogs, their horses, to play in the water. The communities knew the water was coming so they were prepared, hosting trash pick-up and standing watch for the first trickle of water to emerge.
When I saw this area, the water was gone and now what remains is again a dry river bed with a border fence obstructing the view in one direction. People haven’t forgotten, however. Riverine habitats have surged back to life and communities are reconnecting to their river. Officials in one town we visited are planning to build a river park and there is hope of negotiating another pulse flow to hydrate the soils, prepare areas for restoration, and bring water to communities. The river is still there – it just needs some water in it.

Perioperative hypersensitivity reactions secondary to the administration of anesthetics, or other drugs administered during anesthesia induction or surgical procedure, are highly variable, ranging from 1 in 20,000 to 1 in 1361 among different countries in Europe and Australia.1–3 In Spain, data from 2 prospective studies reported an incidence of 1 in 10,263 anesthesias4 and 1 in 1480 procedures.5 These types of reactions represent a diagnostic challenge because multiple drugs are administered at once, and some of them can produce unspecific histamine release.6,7
In some patients, these reactions could be life-threatening. Onset is within minutes, and the reactions may occur at any given moment of the procedure. They are usually classified as IgE or non-IgE mediated. When it is not possible to demonstrate the presence of IgE antibodies, the reaction may be explained by a nonspecific release of histamine by the activation of complement, either through antibodies other than IgE or through other causes such as the mechanic effect of intubation, vagal reactions, pharmacological effects, malignant hyperthermia,8 or delay in performing the allergy studies.9
The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of allergic reactions during general anesthesia in our hospital, to establish the incidence of the allergic reactions for each drug used, and to assess the frequency of IgE-mediated reactions in even mild reactions. We also wanted to compare the degree of agreement between suspicion by the anesthesiologist and the results of the allergy diagnosis.
The study was performed over a previously set 30-month period (February 2008 to August 2010). A joint protocol was designed by the Departments of Allergy and Anesthesiology at the Clínica Universidad de Navarra Medical School Hospital, Pamplona, Spain.
The study was approved by the local ethics committee. All patients diagnosed with a clinical hypersensitivity reaction were informed of the study protocol and gave their written consent to allow further testing.
All patients who experienced a perioperative hypersensitivity reaction during a procedure involving general anesthesia with intubation or regional anesthesia with sedation at any time during induction, maintenance, or in the postanesthesia care unit (PACU) were included. Local anesthetic procedures without sedation and procedures performed outside the operating room with sedation (i.e., endoscopies or bronchoscopies) were excluded.
To avoid potential bias in the selection of patients, the inclusion criteria were established and explained before the study. Two anesthesiologists ensured that each patient fulfilled these criteria, which comprised hypersensitivity reaction symptoms such as erythema, wheals, pruritus, angioedema, bronchospasm, increased airway pressure, desaturation <90%, wheezing, hypotension or hypertension, arrhythmia, ST changes, bradycardia/tachycardia, nasoconjunctival symptoms, hypothermia or hyperthermia, convulsion, abdominal symptoms, and cardiac arrest. Patients whose only manifestation was hypotension, bronchospasm, myocardial ischemia, or arrhythmias were included only if there was no other explanation for such symptoms. When the only symptom was generalized erythema, only those patients in whom skin rash lasted for >3 minutes were included.
For each hypersensitivity reaction, the anesthesiologist completed a questionnaire describing the patient’s signs and symptoms, the timeframe of drug administration, and the time of the reaction onset. The severity of the reaction was established following the classification of Ring and Messmer as grade 1 (skin symptoms), grade 2 (measurable, but not life-threatening reaction affecting skin and other organs), grade 3 (shock life-threatening reaction), and grade 4 (cardiac and/or respiratory arrest).10 The classification used is described in Table 1. Grades 2 to 4 correspond to anaphylaxis.
Of note, 23 of 44 patients included in this study had also been part of a previously published study in which we analyzed the usefulness of serum tryptase and plasma histamine determinations in diagnosing perioperative allergic reactions.11
Plasma Tryptase and Histamine
Tryptase was determined by enzyme immunoanalysis (ImmunoCAP FEIA, Thermo Fisher, Uppsala, Sweden) following the manufacturer's instructions. Samples were collected at the time of the reaction and 2 and 24 hours afterward and were considered elevated when at least 1 of the first 2 determinations doubled basal levels. Plasma histamine was determined in heparinized blood samples extracted immediately after the reaction occurred (within the first 15 minutes) and 2 hours after the reaction took place. Histamine was measured by a fluorometric method following the technique described by Shore et al.12 and modified by Siraganian13 using an AutoAnalizer 3 (Bran Luebbe, SEAL Analytical Inc., Mequon, WI). Plasma histamine was considered elevated when levels were ≥28 ng/mL (sensitivity of 74.51% and a specificity of 80.7%).11
In some cases, to assess the causative agent, specific IgE was quantified using a fluorescence immunoassay (ImmunoCAP FEIA, Thermo Fisher), following the manufacturer’s instructions. Values ≥0.35 kUA/L were considered positive.
All patients were assessed by an allergist on the day of the reaction. An early allergy study was performed within the first 4 days after the reaction occurred and reassessed 4 to 8 weeks later. Skin tests were performed sequentially, starting with skin prick tests (SPT) and, if negative, by intradermal tests (ID), with all the drugs administered before the reaction, plus latex and antiseptics used. Histamine (10 mg/mL) and saline solution were used as positive and negative controls, respectively. Test results were considered positive when papules >3 and >5 mm in diameter appeared in the SPT and the ID tests, respectively, although papules had to be accompanied by itching and erythema.14 The concentrations used were those recommended in published guidelines.5,15 For those drugs for which there were no reference dilutions, if a test was positive, we tested 10 controls to rule out unspecific results. In some patients, to achieve the diagnosis, it was necessary to perform a controlled exposure test.
Reactions were considered IgE mediated if either SPT or ID were positive in any of the 2 skin tests performed (early or late). When all tests were negative, the reactions were classified as non-IgE mediated.
Incidence of Reactions to Each Drug
For the patients admitted to our center, the computer system issues all prescriptions, and thus, it is possible to know how often and in what area a particular drug is administered to a patient. To determine the ratio of reactions to each of the drugs, data about drug administrations to each patient during every procedure in the operating room were collected from the electronic prescribing system for those drugs involved in the reactions of at least one patient during the study period (February 15, 2008, to August 15, 2010). When a drug (i.e., propofol) was administered to a patient more than once during the same anesthetic procedure, it was counted as one administration of the drug.
All data were processed using the software package SPSS v.20.0 for Mac OS (Chicago, IL). Data were expressed as frequencies or percentages. Quantitative data were expressed as medians (interquartile range [IQR]). For comparison of variables, the Mann-Whitney U test was used (tryptase level comparisons) because normal distribution was not followed using the Shapiro-Wilk test (tryptase levels: grade 1, P < 0.001; grade 2, P = 0.058; grade 3, P < 0.001; IgE-mediated reactions, P = 0.003; and non-IgE-mediated reactions, P = 0.040). All differences were considered statistically significant when P < 0.05. The 95% confidence interval (CI) for ratios was calculated using the Clopper-Pearson method.a
During the study period, 16,946 surgical procedures were performed with general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation. The mean (range) of patient age was 51.6 (1–103) years, and 8931 (53%) patients were male.
Forty-four perianesthetic reactions were recorded during the study period; thus, the ratio of reactions in our study was 1 in 385 procedures (95% CI, 1/529–1/287). Twenty-two (22/44; 50%) patients were males. The median age (range) of patients was 45.79 (12–82) years. The mean of previous operations per patient was 2.5 (range, 0–19). Ten patients (10/44; 23%) had not previously undergone surgical procedures with general anesthesia. Ten patients (10/44; 23%) were atopic.
Twenty-five reactions (25/44; 57%) occurred during the induction of anesthesia, 9 of 44 (20%) in the course of the surgery procedure, and 10 of 44 (23%) in the PACU. Twenty-one reactions (21/44; 48%) were grade 1, and 23 of 44 (52%) reactions that fulfilled anaphylaxis criteria (9/44 [20%] were grade 2; and 14/44 [32%] were grade 3). No patient experienced a grade 4 reaction, and no cardiorespiratory arrests or deaths were recorded. Five interventions (5/44; 11%) were postponed due to reaction severity. All these occurred during the induction phase.
The most common symptoms or signs involved the skin (rash, urticaria-angioedema, and pruritus), which presented in 37 patients (37/44; 84%), followed by those affecting the cardiovascular system (arrhythmias, changes in ST segment, tachycardia, or bradycardia) in 18 of 44 patients (41%). In 12 of 44 patients (27%), the respiratory system was affected (desaturation, increased airway pressure, wheezing), and one patient experienced convulsions (1/44; 2%). In 24 of 44 patients (54.5%), only one organ was involved (21/24, the skin only; 1/24, the respiratory system; and 2/24, the vascular system). Of the 21 patients with skin involvement as the only manifestation, 15 presented a rash for more than 3 minutes, which represents 34% of patients. In 16 of 44 patients (36%), 2 systems were involved (in 4/16 patients, both skin and the respiratory system were affected; in 8/16, both skin and the vascular system were affected; and in 4/16, both the respiratory and vascular systems were affected). In 4 of 44 patients (9%), 3 systems were affected (3/4 with involvement of the skin, vascular, and respiratory systems and 1/4 with involvement of the skin, vascular, and neurological systems).
Fourteen patients (14/44; 32%) did not return for the follow-up consultation within the time limit of 4 to 8 weeks; thus, it was not possible to establish whether the reaction was IgE mediated (Table 2).
Of the 30 patients (30/44; 68%) who completed the study, a triggering agent was detected in 17 of them (17/30; 57%) (Table 2). In 15 patients (15/30; 50%), the mechanism was IgE mediated. One patient (1/30; 3%) exhibited intolerance to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and one patient (1/30; 3%) experienced cold urticaria due to the cold saline solution used. The remaining 13 of 30 reactions (43%) were classified as non-IgE-mediated reactions (Table 3).
In 4 of the 15 patients who had only a rash, an IgE-mediated mechanism was detected, and another patient was diagnosed with cold urticaria. Five of these patients did not complete the allergy study.
The causative drugs involved in IgE-mediated reactions (15/30) were neuromuscular-blocking drugs (NMBA) in 5 of 15 (33%) patients (4/5 atracurium, 1/5 cisatracurium), amoxicillin-clavulanate in 3 of 15 (20%) patients, latex in 2 of 15 (13.3%) patients, and dipyrone in 3 of 15 (20%) patients. In one diabetic patient, a reaction was caused by the anticoagulant protamine, and, in another patient, the culprit trigger was the antiseptic povidone-iodine. One of the patients sensitized to dipyrone also had positive skin tests with morphine (Table 2).
Among the 10 patients who had not previously undergone operations with general anesthesia, the drug responsible was detected in 3 patients (atracurium, cisatracurium, and dipyrone).
The main drugs assumed by the anesthesiologist to be causative were NMBA (16%), followed by opioids (14%), and analgesics (9%). The level of agreement between the anesthesiologists’ suspicions and the final diagnosis of the patients was 59% (10/17). Table 3 shows the drug suspected by the anesthesiologist and the final cause diagnosed in each case in which a cause was found.
The ratio between the number of hypersensitivity reactions with each drug and the number of patients receiving this drug during an anesthetic procedure is shown in Table 4.
According to the time during which the reaction occurred, the drugs involved were as follows:
- Induction of anesthesia: NMBA (5), antibiotics (2), povidone-iodine (1), and cold urticaria (1)
- In the course of the operation: latex (1), analgesics (1), antibiotics (1), and anticoagulant (1)
- In the PACU: analgesics (3) and latex (1)
Nine patients (9/44; 20%) had increased tryptase levels, and in 6 of them, the drug responsible was detected; the 3 remaining patients did not complete the allergy study. Median tryptase levels were as follows: 3.3 μg/L in grade 1 (IQR, 2.7–6.4), 11.3 μg/L in grade 2 (IQR, 3.5–38.5), and 5.1 μg/L in grade 3 (IQR, 3.2–9.7) reactions. Statistically significant differences were found between tryptase levels in grade 1 and 2 reactions (Mann-Whitney U test, P = 0.035), but not between grade 1 and grade 3 and grade 2 and grade 3 reactions.
Thirty-two patients (32/44; 73%) had elevated plasma histamine levels (32.4 μg/L in grade 1 [IQR, 25.8–43.8], 40.9 μg/L in grade 2 [IQR, 29.6–46.6], and 49.2 μg/L in grade 3 reactions [IQR, 31.8–78.7]). Differences between IgE- and non-IgE-mediated reactions are described in Table 5.
As mentioned earlier,1,3,5,16 larger differences in the incidence of perioperative reactions among different studies have been established. In a study conducted in 20 hospitals in Catalonia (Spain), the incidence of allergic reactions in anesthesia was 1 in 10,263 procedures, with the frequency increasing to 1 in 1673 when only general anesthesia with NMBA was taken into account.4 In a French study, the incidence of reactions was 1 in 13,000, increasing to 1 in 6500 for general anesthesias with the use of NMBA.17 Although based in different methodological studies, the incidence of reactions observed in our hospital was more frequent (1/385 [95% CI, 1/529–1/287]).
Possible explanations for these differences are as follows: (1) differences in the types of anesthetics used in the study; (2) diverse anesthesia protocols and drugs used among countries; (3) differences on diagnostic and classification criteria; and (4) the retrospective nature of many studies published on the prevalence of perioperative reactions.18
In our opinion, because it is a prospective study and because we included all types of hypersensitivity reactions, not just anaphylaxis, our study found a higher incidence of hypersensitivity reactions than previous studies. We believe that mild reactions might have been underreported in many studies. According to our results, a significant number of mild reactions are IgE mediated. We postulate that if minor reactions were also studied, a significant number of severe anaphylaxis could be prevented in the future. IgE-mediated reactions in anesthesia are usually more severe than non-IgE-mediated reactions.19 In other studies,20 systematic protocols applied to patients with reactions during anesthesia increased the incidence of reactions diagnosed as IgE mediated. These authors also maintained that in patients with a previous mild reaction, the lack of a proper diagnosis and allergy assessment may lead to more severe reexposure.
Of the 30 patients studied, we detected the drug triggering the reaction in 17 (57%), a figure similar to that reported in other studies. However, a possible weakness of our work is that 14 of 44 (32%) patients did not return after the 4 to 8 weeks of the reaction to complete the study, and as a result, the allergy study was not completed. In view of these results, we suggest performing early allergy studies in the days following the reaction, when the patients are still admitted. This approach may prove beneficial, as shown by the results of a study recently published by our group.9
We have found no data in the literature correlating the number of allergic reactions per drug dose administered. In our study, the figure due to NMBA is lower than previously reported in other studies where NMBA are considered to be the cause of more than 40% of IgE-mediated reactions21 or even as many as 93% of such reactions.3
Antibiotics and analgesics were the second cause of IgE-mediated reactions during surgical procedures. Likewise, other studies reflect the decrease in the percentage of reactions due to NMBA and the increase in the frequency of reactions secondary to the administration of antibiotics.21
Although some studies have shown a low risk of adverse reactions following the administration of dipyrone,22 in our patients with allergy to analgesics, the drug involved was dipyrone, probably because it is used so widely in Spain. Only 2 of our patients were allergic to latex, which is again consistent with the published results, highlighting the decreasing frequency of latex as a cause for perioperative reactions.5
One of our patients was sensitized to povidone-iodine. This patient developed a skin rash during the induction of the anesthesia, which resolved after the administration of dexamethasone. Antiseptics such as chlorhexidine and povidone-iodine may act as hidden allergens in perioperative reactions, as has been reported previously,23–26 and thus, it is advisable to test these drugs in all patients.
Another patient developed a skin rash on the arm in which saline solution was infused. This rash spread subsequently and reappeared minutes later when saline was readministered. Skin test with all the drugs involved proved negative except for an ice-cube test. It is important to consider physical urticaria as a cause of perioperative hives or wheals, especially cold urticaria, given that some of the drugs to be administered during anesthesia are refrigerated until used, as is the case with heparins and NMBA.27
In conclusion, the results of our work underscore the importance of studying all perioperative reactions, including mild reactions, to prevent future, more severe reactions. Even reactions as mild as generalized erythema can hide drug hypersensitivity that otherwise may be overlooked or attributed to unspecific reactions.

A Weekend in Snowy Cesky Krumlov
Trip Start Feb 13, 2005
25Trip End Jul 12, 2005
Map your own trip!
Show trip route
We left Thursday, and boarded a very questionable blue bus. The driver was kind enough to put out his cigarette before pulling away from the station. He did, however, do a lovely job of decorating his vehicle. Hanging from every possible crevice and corner were every sort and I'm sure scent of air fresheners. There were, of course, the typical pine tree scent. But also, the occasional oval with "CZ" printed inside.
My traveling buddies and I spent our time trying to name all 50 states
So, we arrived and were welcomed by a setting sun, cold wind, and two Americans. We ran into them on the bus, on the way to Cesky Krumlov, and we all walked into the town together. We decided to meet for dinner that night at some nice place that cooks your meal over an open fire in the middle of the restaurant...classy place. After a quick check in, and even quicker clean up, and change of clothes, we were all off to meet our new friends.
The restaurant was a good choice: cheap beer and nice medovnik (honey cake) and apple strudel. I highly recommend the medovnik to anyone traveling in the Czech Republic. We all were so exhausted from the trip so we were eager to get back to the room and into bed.
The next few days were spent exploring. Luckily there was a very nice breakfast for us every morning that served two functions: as a nice start to the morning that saved us the cost of food in town, and a great way to insure we got out of bed before 9:30 every morning
I would highly recommend to anyone, a trip to Cesky Krumlov. The bus ride is about 2 1/2 - 3 hours bus ride and the ticket costs about $8 each way. It's a great place to experience something out of the ordinary, and to feel like you are walking through a dream. The summer is the busiest time, so if you have the choice, going during the off-season. It's then, without all the other tourists, you can really get a feel for who the Czech people are. Their loud bar keeps and even louder guests: the little old women walking slowly up the steps to the castle with their shopping bags: and the school kids stopping at the little corner shop before school for a treat. These are the things you would miss during tourist season.
Enjoy the photos!!
TIP OF THE TRAVELOGUE
Tourist Season good for the natives but bad for you as a tourist. Just because it's off season doesn't mean the place closes down. Sometimes that's the best time to meet interesting people and really get a feel for the culture and the place.

Independent game developer Phenix has created Kanye Quest 3030, a fan-made Kanye West game. Made with RPG Maker VX, this Windows game plays like a Japanese RPG but with a modern hip hop twist.
On his way to take out the garbage, Kanye inadvertently steps into a wormhole, sending him into the year 3030. As opposed to the regular attack, magic, and skills menu we’re used to in RPGs, instead he’ll need to “diss”, “brag” and show off his “rap skills” in order to survive.
Trapped in a world ruled by Lil B, Kanye will have to join forces with the clones of Jay Z, Eminem and other famous rappers to fight against the non-stop army of clones eager to kill him.
There’s a nice bit of instrumental hip hop music thrown into the game and is a definite treat for any rap and hip hop fans that enjoy RPGs. In a world where headphones are a usable item and swag is a currency, Kanye Quest 3030 is a remarkable idea brought to life. If you’re looking for something modern and very different, give Kanye Quest 3030 a go. You can download it for Windows here.

As its name implies, you obtain a sofa and you receive a bed at an identical time. There are a lot of benefits of having a futon over other kinds of sofa beds. All Sets include Frame, Mattress, and Cover. Its frame is made from solid and long-lasting wood and its legs are produced with stainless steel. The frame is of wood that makes it powerful and durable. Futon frames arrive in a number of fashions and sizes. Fitting in every other sort of furniture is simply not likely to do the job.
If you prefer to try out something new for your house, try out best futons as opposed to normal sofas. How to earn a shower room results in a completely new studio apartmentbecause we chose to use the available space to create some extra cash monthly. It looks fantastic. What’s worse are the dorm rooms which don’t even offer a bed. This minimal set sofa sleeper can be found in numerous colours, you can select one that complements your decor. Matching pillows or pillows in different materials can be bought to create that additional wow factor which makes your futon appear to be a high-end item of furniture. If you prefer softness, but are also on the lookout for a bit more durability, microfiber could be the best choice for you.

Muireann O'Connell has joked that she's 'too old' for Greg O'Shea.
The pair have teamed up for new entertainment show The Line Out on Virgin Media One, which focuses on rugby.
Today's top videos
STORY CONTINUES BELOW
Muireann, 36, has shut down any rumours of a romance between her and Greg, 24.
It was announced earlier this year that Muireann and Greg would front the new show, following the presenter leaving Today FM.
While they will be working closely together on the programme, the Limerick woman has no plans to date Greg.
When quizzed about her relationship status, Muireann said she was 'fine' but had a bit of fun talking about her co-host.
She told the Irish Mirror: 'I'm far too old for him [Greg]. They [his fans] will just be going, "She is ancient why is she near him".'
Originally from Scotland, the 22-year-old also holds a law degree and graduated from Srathclyde University.
Like Greg, she's put her law future on hold and is pursuing a career in sport.
Neither Greg nor Emma have address the romance rumours, though a source said they were having a 'fun time' when in Paris last year.
They said: 'Emma is undeniably Greg's type, she's an athlete and model, absolutely gorgeous and prefers to be out of the spotlight.'
Greg won the 2019 summer season of Love Island with Amber Gill, who was previously linked to fellow TV star Joe Garratt.

It was only 3 weeks ago that the uncertainty surrounding Putin’s Russian invasion of Ukraine was at its height, with Western intelligence stating that it was highly likely. Now we know that this, unfortunately, was correct. Ukraine has thus far demonstrated itself to be a highly resilient and resistant state in the face of an invasion by a militarily superior – and former superpower – state. At the time of writing it is the 11th day of the invasion, and the question of how this conflict will be resolved is as important as ever given the growing humanitarian crisis in Ukraine.
It is vital to refer to this invasion as being primarily encouraged and necessitated by President Putin himself, not the Russian civilian population. Thus, I strongly argue that this is ‘Putin’s invasion of Ukraine’, not the ‘Russian invasion of Ukraine’. Indeed, the extent of the protest against the inhumane and unlawful invasion demonstrates that the resistance in Russia is present, despite attempts by the Putin regime to convince its own people and the world otherwise. Of course, there will be some in Russia that will believe Putin’s propaganda, but this is not a new phenomenon. Historically, propaganda has been a highly effective tool to convince a state’s population that the behaviour of the elite has been necessitated by external forces. Notably, the use of propaganda in Hitler’s Germany was inextricably linked with the persecution of Jews.
It is a clash of ideals: an attempt at imperialism from President Putin and Ukraine’s right to be a sovereign state. It is evident that Putin wants to return Russia to its former glorious status as an imperial superpower. It is likely that this is proving a difficult task because of combined international support from the West and a strong level of resilience from the Ukrainian forces. Arguably, however, both sides have much to fight for: sudden withdrawal from Ukraine would not achieve Putin’s objectives and Ukrainian forces are unlikely to willingly give up the fight to be a sovereign state. It is all about the global balance of power: as a 21-year-old, my generation has largely lived within a Western-centric perspective, with the United States viewed as the global hegemonic power, and a period of relative peace in Europe.
One should therefore first acknowledge the complex history between Russia and its smaller neighbour, Ukraine. Since 2014, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine has been most noticeable in the Donbas region whereby “Russian-backed rebels seized government buildings in towns and cities across eastern Ukraine. Intense fighting left portions of Luhansk and Donetsk, in the Donbas region, in the hands of Russian-backed separatists.” From a Ukrainian perspective, the separatist-controlled regions are “Russian-occupied”, which have been recognised by the Putin regime as independent states. This, of course, was only part of the beginning to a bloody war in wider Ukrainian sovereign territory. The extent of the human cost is already high, claiming over 14,000 lives in Donbas since 2014.
However, since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the stakes have risen considerably both in terms of Ukraine’s right to sovereignty and for the wider international community, most notably NATO. The threat of nuclear escalation is not only completely terrifying, but the nuclear rhetoric has notably increased. NATO’s refusal to implement a no-fly zone is undoubtedly linked with Putin’s ominous threat on the 24th February that if any external country was to intervene, the consequences would be severe: “If you try to stop us […] you’ll face consequences that you have never faced in your history” .
If a no-fly zone was implemented over Ukraine, it would involve Western military forces shooting down Russian planes, an act recognised by both sides to be an act of war, and thus one that will involve many more states and thus would be highly likely to quickly escalate into a much larger conflict. No state within NATO is willing to risk nuclear escalation despite the horrendous humanitarian crisis and ongoing war in Ukraine. On the other hand, there are those who defy the seriousness of Putin’s nuclear threat. The BBC reports: “Adm Radakin [UK chief of defence] also played down Mr Putin’s nuclear threat”. The UK chief of defence disputes claims that a no-fly zone would support Ukraine tactically and “might escalate fighting” , but arguably this ignores the severe impact on civilians.
This does not mean, however, that Putin’s threats should not be ignored entirely; it is consequential for how the West, including the UK, reacts to such rhetoric. Thankfully, neither the UK, US nor France responded by putting their nuclear forces on alert. If they had done so, it undoubtedly would have resulted in an escalation of fear and panic. Miscalculation and panic must be avoided at all costs during increasingly tense relations between Ukraine, Russia, and the West.
As of 6th March, Russia has reiterated its demand of a complete surrender by Ukrainian military forces as a fundamental requirement to ending the so-called “special military operation”. However, this is unlikely given Ukraine’s resistance to military attacks. The war has demonstrated that Putin has a blatant disregard for international law as he authorised barbaric attacks on hospitals, nurseries, and schools, according to the Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister. This is hugely significant, flying in the face of Geneva Conventions which state that such actions are illegal. Under Article 8 of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, “intentionally directing attacks against the civilian population as such or against individual civilians not taking direct part in hostilities” is a war crime, one of which President Putin is currently directly guilty of, regardless of the rhetoric intended to convince us otherwise.
Furthermore, President Putin continues to ignore the illegitimacy of the invasion, asking its neighbours on its Western border to ‘normalize’ its relations with the increasingly hostile state. This is likely a response to the growing unity in the West, including from Russia’s western neighbours such as Estonia, Latvia, and Georgia. Notably, Belarus is one of few states which continues normal relations with Putin’s regime. However, it is important to analyse the actions of China which “abstained from voting on a UN Security Council resolution which condemned the Russian invasion of Ukraine, in a move seen as a diplomatic win for the west.” Some argue that it is significant because it signals that China is “going to stay out of the conflict in Ukraine”. Whether this is true in the long-term, however, remains to be seen, as there are fears that this could spark similar hostilities from China towards Taiwan. Furthermore, this is likely to depend on the long-term outcomes of the invasion on both Russia’s economy, and it’s level of success in achieving Putin’s objectives. There are hopes that sufficient damage on Russia’s economy will lead to increased resistance from the Russian population. Again, however, this is speculation and unlikely as the Putin regime has already detained over 4,000 people who participated in anti-war protests.
Whether Ukraine will entirely fall in the coming days or weeks has yet to be seen. If it does, it will undoubtedly secure a shift in the global power balance.

pH- and salinity-responsive organic-inorganic nanohybrid stars based on poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) stars and N,N-di(2,3-di-hydroxy-propyl)-3-amino-propyl-functional silsesquioxane nanoparticles are readily formed by mixing of aqueous solutions of the components. The interaction between stars of two different arm lengths, (PAA100)21, (PAA200)24, with water-soluble silsesquioxane nanoparticles is studied in dependence of pH and salt concentration. The original size of the stars is conserved during complexation according to dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurements and light scattering (LS) titration experiments, which exclude star-star aggregation or crosslinking during the interaction. The proposed interaction mechanism is based on hydrogen-bonding and Coulomb interactions. Cryogenic transmission electron microscopy measurements demonstrate the formation of nanohybrid stars. Small-angle neutron scattering experiments enable a quantitative determination of the fraction of bound nanoparticles and indicate an equilibrium between free and bound nanoparticles.

Raptors keeping Jose Calderon is not a bad thing
Ever since Chris Bosh left town, it has felt like Jose Calderon has just been keeping the starting point guard spot for the Toronto Raptors warm
TORONTO — Ever since Chris Bosh left town, it has felt like Jose Calderon has just been keeping the starting point guard spot for the Toronto Raptors warm. Sooner rather than later, he will be replaced.
Calderon is the longest-serving Raptor, here since 2005. That is more than enough time to focus in on a player’s flaws. With Calderon, the biggest issue has always been defence.
“Defensively, he’s been up and down, more up than down, much better than he was last year,” Raptors coach Dwane Casey said of his starting point guard before his team’s 103-93 win over the Detroit Pistons at the Air Canada Centre on Wednesday night. “Last year was just a parade of paint points, starting with him and ending with the big guy. It was a two-man job. This year he’s done a much better job with that.”
Casey hedges his words when talking about Calderon’s defence, and with good reason. He still has trouble with the league’s elite point guards — Jeremy Lin and Tony Parker carved him up on consecutive nights last week. It is hard to stop the best players in the game, but Calderon remains predictably susceptible.
There is no need to measure words when it comes to Calderon’s game management, though. He added another 15 assists against the Pistons, playing against a player the Raptors could have selected last June to ultimately replace him — Brandon Knight. The Raptors took centre Jonas Valanciunas, who stashed away in Lithuania for another year of development.
Calderon puts the ball where it needs to be. Knight, picked eighth overall, is having a promising rookie season. But a 20-year-old with just one year of college experience cannot have the confidence and boldness in terms of playmaking that a veteran can.
Against Detroit, Calderon expertly threw a left-handed bullet pass to a rolling Amir Johnson for a layup. Later on, he found DeMar DeRozan in traffic for an alley-oop. DeRozan finished with a team-high 23 points. Aaron Gray added a double-double, 12 points and 12 rebounds. For his part, Gray received “M-V-P” chants from the crowd. That resulted in a rare post-game scrum for the centre.
“What do I do with my hands?” Gray asked.
To more pressing concerns, Calderon’s play is enough to make you think about the future. Calderon will be 31 before next season starts. However, there is no obvious replacement coming quickly. The 2012 draft class is highly regarded, but not in the backcourt. The free-agent class features Deron Williams — if you think he is coming to Toronto, you would be wrong — and a bunch of guards well on to the back nine of their careers. Jerryd Bayless is quite clearly not the answer. And the Raptors do not have the high-end talent to trade for an elite guard.
So there is a compelling case that Calderon will be steering the ship next year once Valanciunas and another draft pick have arrived. It might not be what Raptors fans want, but it also might not be such a bad thing. If you are going to have some veterans, one of them might as well be playing point guard. And if Calderon is playing at this level while staying healthy, he is a palatable short-term answer.
“I don’t care what level, whether it is the CIS or whatever it is, you need that leadership at your point guard,” Casey said. “It’s the most important position. You can never get too much of that.”
The Raptors went into the all-star break with an addition on their mind. Restricted free agent swingman Wilson Chandler, who had been playing in China, was in Toronto meet with the Raptors on Wednesday. Chandler averaged 15.3 points and 5.7 rebounds per game last year, which he spent with New York and Denver
The most likely result has Chandler re-signing with Denver. But the Raptors have legitimate interest in any possible talent upgrade, and it does not hurt to have your team’s name mentioned with prominent free agents. Chandler has until March 1 to sign with a team other than the Nuggets. After that point, the only team he can play with for the rest of the year is Denver.

Wheat rose for a third day on signs demand for U.S. supplies will increase as weather disrupts crop planting from China to South America.
The contract for December delivery climbed 0.4 percent to $7.0475 a bushel on the Chicago Board of Trade by 1:47 p.m. in Singapore. Futures touched $7.1125 on Oct. 21, the highest level since June 21.
China, the world’s top consumer, committed to import 3.9 million metric tons of U.S. wheat this marketing year as of Sept. 26, Department of Agriculture data show. That compares with about 408,000 tons in the same period last year. The country’s total imports may more than triple to 9.5 million tons, tying it with Egypt as the biggest buyer. Prices will stay above $6.50 through the middle of 2014, according to Australia & New Zealand Banking Group Ltd.
“There’s such a big import program for wheat being anticipated in China this season, significantly up from last year,” said Graydon Chong, a grains and oilseeds analyst at Rabobank International in Sydney. “The additional demand from global markets at the moment is helping keep wheat prices a little firmer. We’ve seen a fair bit of demand come back.”
The worst drought in 50 years in areas of Argentina, South America’s biggest wheat exporter, resulted in “irreversible damage” to the crop, researcher Oil World said Oct. 22. Wheat-growing areas on the North China Plain may be drier than normal this winter, with crops dependent on rainfall in the spring, AccuWeather Inc. said.
“Supply trends and developments in China, Brazil and Russia are most supportive for wheat prices,” Paul Deane, ANZ’s senior agricultural economist, wrote in a report dated today. While improving weather conditions have allowed some increase in the pace of sowing after earlier delays, the area planted to winter grains in Russia’s central and southern regions are still 25 percent behind for this time of the year, he said.
Soybeans for January delivery gained 0.2 percent to $13.0725 a bushel. Corn for December delivery was unchanged at $4.4275 a bushel.

AbstractPenile intraepithelial neoplasia (PeIN) is a rare skin condition with potential to progress to invasive penile cancer. We performed a systematic review of treatment options and outcomes for PeIN. Topical agents showed response and recurrence rates of 40-100% and 20% for imiquimod, and 48-74% and 11% for 5-fluorouracil, respectively. Discontinuation of topical agents because of side effects was observed in 12% of cases. Response rates for laser therapies were 52-100%, with recurrence in 7-48% of cases and a change in penile sensitivity in 50%. Circumcision cleared preputial PeIN. Rates of recurrence after surgical treatment of glans PeIN were 25% for wide local excision, 4% for Mohs surgery, 5% for total glans resurfacing, and 10% for glansectomy. There are limited data on factors predictive of treatment response and on sequencing of treatment options. PATIENT SUMMARY: Several treatment options are available for men with precancerous lesions of the foreskin or glans. Close follow-up is necessary as lesions can recur or progress to invasive penile cancer.

The amateur shutterbug in us all have at one point or another wished we had one of those big zoom lens DSLRs to capture a nice eagle in the distance, a bit beyond the abilities of our point-and-shoot cameras don’t ya think?
Those days will be a thing of the past with Nikons launch of their Coolpix P series; including a Nikon Coolpix P-510 and Coolpix P-310. The P-510, with its unprecedented super zoom (42x optical), doesn’t compromise image quality at all. Its Nikkor glass lens is capable of capturing action from a wide 24mm to an amazing 1000mm focal range and the 16.1 MP CMOS sensor will ensure nothing is lost in transit from the lens to the memory stick.
But zoom is the real selling feature of this model. The P510 replaces the P500 which has a zoom of 36X while the nearest competition in the segment, Canon’s Powershot SX40 HS comes with a 35x zoom. The P510 can also capture 1080 videos and its purpose-built supercharged image stabilizing system practically reduces blur to a minimum even with the zoom pushed to its limits.
The P310 on the other hand comes alive in the night. It tackles demanding low- light conditions with ease with a 16.1-megapixel backside Illuminated (BSI) CMOS sensor and a fast f/1.8 maximum aperture lens.
Both the cameras are set to be out in the market by the middle of February with the P310 likely to cost around $350 USD while the P510 will come with a price tag of $430 USD.

This week's flu report (Word, PDF) shows that we're continuing to see relatively low rates of flu in the state. This is in keeping with how flu season typically begins each fall. What we don't know is how mild or severe flu season will turn out to be. The one thing we do know for sure is that the single best way to stay healthy throughout that season is to get a flu shot. Flu vaccine is safe, effective, and widely available even as you read this.

Video review got it wrong again. Actually, it was the lack of available review this time as the San Jose Sharks were again gifted a call from the review rules when an obvious handpass led to the game-winning goal in OT Wednesday night. But handpasses are not reviewable because…no one has ever thought about it before.
It just doesn’t have to be this hard or this controversial. The entire premise upon which video reviews were introduced into sports was to get the call on the field or the ice correct. So what if it takes an extra 30 seconds, right? That is the theory and it is accurate, except for human beings. And so here we are again after officials missed a call which decided Game 3 of the Western Conference Final.
Shakespeare often included the contradiction of the letter of the law against the spirit. He used it for comic device though Colorado fans probably don’t find it too amusing after a tying goal in Game 7 of Round Two was waived off because of a (potentially) misapplied rule noticed only on video review. Gabriel Landeskog stood on the ice just inside the offensive zone waiting to hop onto the bench. It was ruled he didn’t touch up and was offside even though he no longer counted as a player on the ice.
San Jose won that game, too.
As usual, human beings have screwed up infallible replay with overthinking and minute parsing. The letter of the laws is being enforced, which is far from the spirit of the rules. And it violates the spirit which first included technology and replays into the game.
You can review this but not that — review offside but not a handpass. You may review the judgment based goalie interference but not if the puck hit the netting above the glass.
Stop the insanity.
Not even horses are immune to video challenge stupidity (though the losing horse in the Kentucky Derby was not assessed a two-minute minor nor did he lose his timeout).
The offside review was instituted as several games were decided by clearly blown offside calls, including playoff games. That makes sense as offside is not a judgment call. It was great until it progressed to zoom micro shots 100x to see if a skate blade was touching the ice. Good grief, that’s not how it was supposed to work.
If on-field officials review too much, the game will have no human element. The games will forever stop and re-start (For the record, Pfizer, Budweiser, Chevrolet, McDonald’s, Pizza Hut and advertising salespeople have endorsed that concept).
The solution to this is simple, yet no one seems to want a real solution. Those in charge and even fans keep chasing the ghost of the replay format as first instituted by the NFL long before HD TV and lightning fast internet connections. The thought was to limit reviews to keep the flow of the game.
But why do video reviews have to stop the game? Why must we go through this 1980s style dance in which the coach must halt the game, discuss with the officials, who retire to a private area to watch the replay which fans have by now seen at least three times in excruciating detail?
Do we not have instant technology with multiple screens and someone able to watch in real time? If TV producers can do it, why can’t the leagues?
Every non-judgment call should be reviewable. Every single one. Handpasses, netting, and offside. Head hits should also be reviewable. We’re treated to endless replays of a guy suddenly having a squishy melon anyway. But the calls should not delay play for minutes at a time. Every single game should have multiple video officials participating in real time.
The coach can initiate a review. The officials can chat with the eyes in the sky via wireless technology. Heck, let Microsoft or Samsung spend billions on the sponsorship and slap a logo on the ref’s helmet if you must.
In the time it takes the officials to huddle, the call can be made.
Current replay highlights the humourous technology gap and stale thinking. Coaches chat via smartwatches to people watching multiple screens. Within seconds Pittsburgh Penguins video coach Andy Saucier knows if it was offside. The process doesn’t even take a full 30 seconds. Yet to challenge the call, Penguins head coach Mike Sullivan has to stop the game, explain to the officials what the team has already rewatched. Only then do the officials skate over to the penalty boxes, chat via headsets and watch the play on a little tablet.
How about a real-time video official simply signals that it was offside or onside? Perhaps a discussion of the rules would be applicable in some extreme cases like the Landeskog goal.
And no more super slow motion, ultra zoom angles. If you can’t see it with the naked eye, it didn’t happen. Goal reviews are obviously exempt from this fantasy rule as the difference is often millimeters but a goal should be a goal.
The video review saga will continue as long as 2019 technology is clashing with 1950s procedures. Incorporate the technology or remove it. Right now it’s hurting the game and leaving as many bad calls on the ice and on the grass as there were before we had the ability to challenge. Sometimes ignorance is bliss, but once we bit the apple, we have to eat the whole thing.
Make the game reviewable by replay officials in real time and in real speed.
