Managing Director of H&G Simonds Brewery, 1959
Eric Duncan Simonds, known as Duncan, was born in June 1917 at the family home, Pensdell on Murdoch Road just outside Wokingham. In 1920 aged just 3 the family moved to Mertonford nearby where they lived until 1931 when they moved to Audleys Wood. He was the 2nd of three sons to Eric & Amy Simonds, Louis (1910-1947) Kenneth (1920-2006) and Amy (1914-1914). The 3 brothers were very close.
Here I will try to show my father's very full life both in pictures and with a more serious side. Hoping that there will be something to interest his family, his colleagues and especially his grandchildren.
He was educated first at St Neots and then at Eton from 1930 – 1935. Here in Summer 1935 in the formal uniform of the day. The winged collar marks him out as the 'Head of (his) House'.
There was then no concept of a 'Gap Year'. But in February 1936 he set off in a school party of 23 boys by ship to Australia, which took them a month via the Suez Canal. He recorded every part of the then extraordinary trip across Australia from Perth to Brisbane by train & bus in a scrap book, that you can see HERE: [awaits scanning]
For the young of today, it is worth reminding you that the whole trip, in every detail, had to be organised by letter. [snail mail!] It took each letter just over a month to travel out – and the same to travel back – so it was a huge feat of organisation!
In the summer of 1936, he travelled alone across Europe by train & bicycle to Austria. Returning with first-hand accounts of the rise of fascism in Germany. He referred to the fear among the Austrian families that he stayed with of impending trouble with Germany. In March 1938, just over a year after he left, Hitler annexed Austria (The 'Anschluss') and Europe was on the road to WW2.
He then went up to Magdalene College, Oxford, for 2 years, leaving early so as to join the family firm as a trainee in the Brewing Room in October 1938. Duncan noted that, like his father before him, his early duties included sweeping the floor and mashing the beer. Foreseeing troubles ahead, in February 1939 he voluntered to join the H.A.C. (Honourable Artillery Company). The onset of War interrupted his training as he was called up on September 1st 1939. He was immediately dispatched to the Officer Cadet Training Unit (O.C.T.U.) in Catterick for officer training, from where in March 1940 he was commissioned into the 4th Regiment of the Royal Horse Artillery (RHA) in Egypt and later to 'C' Battery, where he remained till June 1943 being twice Mentioned in Despatches. In January 1941 he was wounded fighting into Tobruk. He was promoted Lieutenant in September 1941, Captain in July 1942 and acting Major in 1942. He also served as a gunnery instructor in Cairo, Italy and Larkhill.
The Hop Leaf Gazette of February 1940 announced his departure overseas with a leading article: CLICK HERE and his mother presented him with a prayer book with this inscription.
Wartime service medals
He left England as one of a draft of 30 officers and 220 men. On his return he wrote: 'These 30 officers were all newly commissioned subaltern, fresh from OCTU and incredibly green and frightened young men they were. Our route was Southampton, Le Havre, Marseilles, Malta, Alexandria, Abbassia. Now, green and frightened though we were, we were the very first OCTU officers ever to arrive in the Middle East, and as such this was something of an event.'
He clearly remembered each of the soldiers he commanded and deeply regretted 'losing' any one of them. He did not speak of his wartime experiences until the last few years of his life, so here are a couple of his anecdotes and quotes:
"War is 90% boredom and 10% stark terror"
His 2 brothers Louis and Kenneth were also serving officers. Communication between them was almost impossible, so imagine his delight when, in his armoured column heading West in the desert he recognised Kenneth's battalion heading the opposite direction nearby! He was duly spotted and they had 5 minutes together! In October 1943 he was recuperating from illness in Cairo and discovered that his two brothers were in the same city – this memorable photo was the result:

St Margaret's Church, Westminster.
Demobbed from his military service in 1946, he rejoined the Brewery serving under his father Eric Simonds. In March 1947 he was appointed Director of both H&G Simonds Ltd and of the Cirencester Brewery. Both his marriage to Monica Stevens (1924-2016) and his appointment as a Director of the firm were announced in the June 1947 issue of the Hop Leaf Gazette; HERE
After the war he took on responsibility for all public houses and enthusiastically set about modernising both them and the management of the brewery. Through this and other initiatives he furthered the brewery's good trading relationship with it's Licensees. The Simonds hotel estate expanded and an Off-Licence business, Arthur Cooper, was started and swiftly grew in number of shops. He oversaw the successful expansion of the company's Reading Pale Ale and Tavern beers into pubs around the country as well as a joint venture with Guinness in Park Royal to brew & market 'Harp Lager'. In the latter years of Eric Simonds chairmanship, he was ably assisted by his son. Duncan was appointed Joint Managing Director of Simonds Brewery with Richard Quarry in September 1953.
In 1957 when the board was debating the fateful merger with Courage, his was the only voice arguing that a business with some 1,100 pubs, 50 off-licences and 30 hotels was large enough to make its own way in the new world of TV advertising. He argued compellingly that so long as H & G Simonds committed itself to modern management, vigorous marketing and a proactive approach to acquisitions, it had a prosperous independent future.
Following the merger, he was appointed Sales Director of the enlarged business, Courage Barclay & Simonds Ltd moving from Reading to the Courage offices in Southwark, when he was also appointed Chairman of the 'Brewers Export Committee'. For whom he wrote in 1962 in strong terms about the risks to the industry in joining the E.E.C. Also in September 1962 he made his first visit to Simonds Farsons Cisk Ltd and their brewery in Mhriehel , Malta. A business that had been founded in 1929 by his father Eric Simonds and Mr Lewis Farrugia. The visit report in their news letter is 'HERE'.
Other appointments included: Directorships of; Harp Lager Ltd, The London Board of the Liverpool London & Globe Insurance Company Ltd and the British Travel & Holiday Association. He retired from the Courage Group in 1977, but went on to transform the family business of Victoria Street Properties from a business with just one property in Victoria St, W1, to a multi-unit property business that he took successfully to market in 1990.
Royal Warrant Holders Association: Like his father, Duncan held the Royal Warrant. In his case for Queen Elizabeth II from 1955 to 1963 and was President of the Royal Warrant Holders Association in 1963. In a unique 'double act', his wife Monica also held the Royal Warrant at the same time, for supplying The Queen with flowers from Moyses Stevens, her family business!
Brewers Society: He was elected a member of the Council in 1949 and served as Chairman from T.B.C. until his death in 2002.
Reading Conservatives: Like his parents, he was an active member of the Reading Conservative & Unionist Association, becoming Hon. Treasurer in 1948.
Licenced Victuallers Schools: He was active in supporting their schools and charitable works and events all over the country, becoming President in 1959-60, when the title photo of this page was made.
Reading Civic Society: – – becoming Chairman in 1988 until his death in 2002
Duncan was a wonderful family man who was steeped in his family's history of living as gentry for around 1000 years within 12 miles of Reading. His family motto & crest are explained, partly in his own words; HERE. One of his most treasured archives was the family tree prepared for his grandfather Louis. In about 1985 he wrote his own extensive 'Family History' for his 3 sons that he enitled;
'TO MY SONS, RAYMOND, COLIN, GAVIN
AN ACCOUNT OF THEIR SIMONDS DESCENT '
with many of the stories he had heard from his extended family through the then common process of 'Oral Record'. In their turn, his sons 'interviewed' him and made an extensive film of his memoirs shortly before he died – that I hope to load here in due course.
A boating enthusiast & keen sailor himself with 1000's of offshore cruising and racing miles on his log, In 1966, Courage sponsored An established solo sailor to built a radical light displacement catamaran, to compete for the prestigious 'OSTAR' [The single handed transatlantic race 2 years away] To prepare the boat, it was entered in many of the UK big offshore races, with Duncan and his 19 year old son Raymond on the crew. During an otherwise successful campaign and whilst racing in the 1967 'Crystal Trophy' race calamity struck and the boat pitch-poled about 16 miles South of the Isle of Wight, whilst enroute to Cherbourg and Plymouth. Here is a montage of images..CLICK HERE if you are very bored and want to read the full story!
He also spent many years supporting his three sons in their sailing campaigns around the world with his trusty old Range Rover. Towing boats around Europe into his 60's so that they could fly out after work on a Friday, compete for 2 or 3 days, then leave him to pack up and return home up to a week later!
In 1997, the British Soling Association published this article in honour of his service to the class and for his 80th birthday: 1997 Soling Association
1987 sailing on Velsheda for his 70th birthday
To celebrate his 80th birthday, his sons threw him a dinner party for 80 friends & family. Here are the key guests:
Duncan died peacefully at the home he loved Winloed on August 18th 2002. He was buried in the family plot alongside his parents & grandparents at Cliddesden parish church, close to his family home of Audleys Wood. Click on these links to read his obituaries of August 2002: Times Obituary and the Chronicle Obituary
In June 2017 to mark his 100th birthday, his three sons organised a Simonds family reunion at Audleys Wood near Basingstoke. It says something for his family spirit and legacy that 170 people gathered from all over the world to remember him and to renew or even establish family connections across countries & continents!

Rafa Nadal: "It's a new Davis Cup and we have to be attentive and understand it properly"
Rafa Nadal with Miguel Díaz, president of the RFET, Antonio Huertas, president of Mapfre, and Pablo Carreño, Roberto Bautista, Sergi Bruguera, Feliciano López and Marcel Granollers.
The Spanish tennis player Rafa Nadal showed his desire that both he and the rest of the team arrive "in good shape" to face the Davis Cup Finals that start this Monday at the Magic Box in Madrid, a tournament whose new format makes have to "be aware" from the beginning.
"This is a new competition and we have to be attentive and understand it in the proper way and knowing that every game is vital," said Rafa Nadal this Sunday in statements provided by the Royal Spanish Tennis Federation (RFET).
The Balearic stressed that they have played "a complicated group" with Russia and Croatia, and that the surface on which the tournament is played is not the "favorite" of the 'Navy'. "But we are all aware to get the best prepared," he warned.
"I know that the team has been training well and hopefully we arrive in good form, that we can compete well and that things can go well," said the world number one.
For his part, the president of the RFET, Miguel Díaz, was also optimistic. "We make this Davis Cup at home and with our fans and we are one of the best teams in the world, so we have an opportunity to add a sixth Salad Bowl, but it won't be easy," he said.

An update from The Thornbury Surfacing Stadium
After a very successful 2021/22 season, we are conscious that our supporters will be thinking ahead to the forthcoming campaign and wondering who of last season's squad will be with us and whether there will be new faces to join the squad. You won't be surprised to hear that work is actively under way and we will endeavour to let you know the comings and goings as soon as due processes allow.
We can announce, however, that after several seasons at the Club, Kieran Parselle, has decided to join Bath City next season. CTFC would like to thank him for his services over the time he has spent with us and also as team captain. We wish him all the best for the future.
We can also announce that Alefe D'Abadia, Joe Hanks and Alex Bray are amongst players who have confirmed their commitment for next season. In addition, the Club has exercised its option in respect of Will Henry's retention. Dan Griffiths and Jordan Young are also contracted to the Club.
We hope to make further announcements in due course.

Minister Rabbitte welcomes €100,000 funding for Gort under Government's first ever Town Centre First Plan
by Augusta Cardinal | Dec 13, 2021 | Gort, Our Rural Future, Town Centre First | 0 comments
Minister for Disabilities and Fianna Fáil TD for Galway East, Anne Rabbitte, has today welcomed the allocation of €100,000 to Gort as part of the Government's first ever Town Centre First Plans, which will be key to tackling dereliction and revitalising town centres.
As part of the initiative, 26 towns across Ireland have been allocated the funding to develop a unique master plan. In the case of county Galway, Gort has been chosen.
Galway County Council will now work closely with local community groups, retailers and the other members of the 'Town Team' in devising and delivering on the objectives of a masterplan for the town.
This initiative is a key part of Our Rural Future – the Government's ambitious five-year strategy designed to reimagine and revitalise Rural Ireland. It is also linked to the Government's 'Housing for All' strategy and the forthcoming 'Town Centre First Policy', which will be announced in the coming weeks.
Welcoming the funding on Thursday, Minister Rabbitte said: "
I am really delighted to see Gort chosen as one of the first towns to receive €100,000 as part of the Town Centre First Plans to develop its own unique master plan.
The aim of this is to reimagine and revitalise Gort as it has so much potential that has gone untapped. A masterplan for the town will give it the boost it needs for the years ahead.
We need to ensure Gort has the right plan in place to tackle the issues of dereliction, vacant properties, and above all, to become better place to live, work and run a business. Gort and towns and villages like it are where we live, work, shop and socialise. It is important that we ensure our towns and villages remain vibrant, vital, and relevant places.
And she concluded:
Each town has its own strengths and faces different challenges. No 'one size fits all' policy will work so it's important we map out Gort's future path. The Plan will be developed in tandem with a Town Team that is representative of the area and who can bring a wealth of knowledge and local expertise.The development of the Plan will feed into the Government's overall Town Centre First Policy, which will be launched in the coming weeks.

Part 2, continued
Part 4, continued, and Epilogue
Charlie - The fifteen-year-old protagonist of the novel. The novel is told through a series of letters that Charlie is writing to an anonymous "friend," and the whole story is narrated entirely through Charlie's perspective. Charlie is a quiet, withdrawn, intelligent, observant high school freshman dealing with a lot of trauma in his childhood. Charlie comes out of his shell through the relationships he develops over the course of the school year, but it isn't until the very end of the book that he uncovers the repressed memories of sexual abuse that are at the core of all the trauma he has been processing the whole time.
Read an in-depth analysis of Charlie.
Patrick - A high school senior, Sam's stepbrother, and one of Charlie's best friends. Patrick is in a closeted relationship with Brad, the quarterback of the football team. Patrick accepts Charlie for all his quirks and makes him feel like he can be himself.
Read an in-depth analysis of Patrick.
Sam - A high school senior, Patrick's stepsister, and one of Charlie's best friends. Charlie has a huge crush on Sam throughout the entire book. Sam was sexually abused when she was a child, which connects her to Charlie, although neither realizes the connection until the very end of the novel.
Read an in-depth analysis of Sam.
Craig - Sam's boyfriend throughout the bulk of the novel. A male model putting himself through community college, Craig is essentially everything Charlie is not: muscular, older than Sam, unfaithful, and not very bright.
Bill Anderson - Charlie's English teacher and mentor. Bill recognizes and nurtures Charlie's talent for reading and writing. Bill is the most stable, reliable adult figure in Charlie's life, and he helps Charlie develop self-confidence.
Mary Elizabeth - Smart, attractive, self-centered senior in Charlie's friend group. Mary Elizabeth invites Charlie to the Sadie Hawkins dance, and they date, but she is more interested in talking about herself than about building a relationship. Charlie initially seems to be participating more in his life by dating Mary Elizabeth, but he lets her dominate him, and he gets frustrated.
Brad - Quarterback of the football team, and a closeted homosexual. Brad and Patrick have a covert relationship until Brad's father finds about it. Instead of standing up to his father, Brad continues to suppress his sexuality, and Brad calls Patrick a derogatory homosexual slur in front of the whole school.
Bob - Patrick's friend and purveyor of pot to local high schoolers. Bob goes to community college, and he represents what might happen to Charlie's schoolmates if any one of them starts depending on drugs too heavily.
Charlie's brother - Former high school football star who now plays for Penn State. Charlie's family bonds over watching Charlie's brother on television.
Charlie's sister - High school senior who is in an abusive relationship. Charlie's sister is very smart and does very well in school, yet she keeps herself trapped in an abusive relationship. When she gets pregnant, she asks Charlie to drive her to and from the abortion clinic.
Charlie's mom - Kind and caring to Charlie, but still emotionally reeling from the death of her sister. Charlie's mom takes care of Charlie, but she hasn't yet recovered from her past.
Charlie's dad - Kind and caring to Charlie, but still wrapped in emotional guilt. Charlie's dad left his sister and mother under the care of an abusive man, and he's never forgiven himself.
Aunt Helen - Aunt who died when Charlie was seven, and who molested Charlie. Charlie has fond memories of his Aunt Helen, who singled him out for special care and affection, and he blames himself for her death. Only at the end of the novel does he realize how Aunt Helen abused him.
Charlie's grandfather - Maternal grandfather who frequently makes racist and homophobic remarks. Unlike Charlie, who accepts and embraces everyone's differences, his grandfather is a relic of a bigoted era.
Michael Dobson - Charlie's middle-school friend who committed suicide. Michael only appears in a few flashbacks in the novel. Even though Charlie does not want to commit suicide, and he tries to take Michael as his example for what he will not do, he grows to understand how Michael could have gotten to such a depressed state of mind.
Susan - Michael's girlfriend when Michael committed suicide. Charlie, Michael, and Susan had all been good friends, but after Michael's death, Susan keeps her distance from Charlie.
Peter - Mary Elizabeth's boyfriend. After Mary Elizabeth breaks up with Charlie, she starts dating a boy in college, whom she likes because he can be her verbal sparring partner.

January 15, 1944 – September 22, 2015.
Orville A. Theaker son of William and Frieda Theaker was born January 15, 1944 at the family farm in the Wolverine area. He is the youngest in a family of seven.
When a junior in high school, October 23, 1959 he accepted Jesus as his Savior. In November 1959 he surrendered to baptism and dedicated his life to do whatever God would lead. He graduated from Wolverine High School June 1961. He attended Midwestern Baptist College of Pontiac four years and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Religion in 1965. He married his high school sweetheart Beverly June 1964. God has blessed he and his wife with seven children all who are married and with 24 grandchildren.
He pastored First Baptist Church in Richmond, MI for a year and a half; Faith Bible Baptist Church of Bay Port, Mi for 7 ½ years; was assistant pastor and Christian school administrator at Faith Bible Baptist Church of Lapeer, MI. for one year. During these pastorates he did electrical work to help support his family.
November 1979 he moved his family to Wolverine as a temporary move between pastorates. Again his electrical work met financial needs.
September 13, 1981 he accepted the call from Wolverine Baptist Church for him to be their pastor. Over the years, he led the church in a building program to triple the floor space.
Pastor Orville Allen Theaker Sr. of Wolverine went home to be with his Saviour on Tuesday, September 22, 2015. He passed away unexpectedly in his home. Orville was born in Wolverine, Michigan on January 15,1944, the youngest of seven children born to William and Frieda (Briggs) Theaker. He graduated from Wolverine High school in 1961. He went on to earn his Bachelors Degree at Midwestern Baptist College in 1965. An honorary Doctorate degree was bestowed upon him in 2000. He enjoyed 51 years of marriage to his high school sweetheart, Beverly Mikolon. He pastored 45 years, the last 35 serving at Wolverine Baptist Church. He enjoyed hunting, golfing, cooking breakfast for his grandchildren, spending time with his family, and serving the people of his community. He used his trade as a Master Electrician to be a blessing to many. He spent countless hours helping others expecting nothing in return. In addition to his loving wife, Beverly , he is survived by his children, Raymond (Tami) Theaker of Indianapolis, IN, Paul (Darlene) Theaker of Greenwood, IN, Martha (Paul) Davis of Holland, MI, Mary (Todd) Meece of Goodrich, MI, Beverly (Tom) Hunter of Davie, FL, Orville (Tanya) Theaker, Jr. of Caledonia, MI, Sarah (Adam) Alley of Coconut Creek, FL; twenty four grandchildren; siblings, Charles Theaker, Ann (Pete) Latusek, Florence England, William Theaker; sister in law, Barbara Theaker; several nieces and nephews. Besides his parents, Orville was preceded in death by seven grandchildren and his brothers, Raymond in 1961 and Thomas on Sept. 19, 2015.
If you would like your comment posted in Honour of Pastor Orville A. Theaker please send us an email using our contact form.
He was a very faithful, dedicated servant who was held in respect by all of us who knew him. His uncompromising stand on God's word, the KJB, helped strengthen the web of strong faith of all Independent Fundamental Churches in Northern Michigan. He leaves a void in the hearts and lives of his dear family, local church, community, and all of us who knew him. Our deepest condolences to his dear wife Beverly and the family. Soon Jesus will return and we will all be reunited together for eternity. – Pastor Robert Barnett and Calvary Baptist Church of Grayling, MI.

Recommendations and Reports. The MMWR Recommendations and Reports contain in-depth articles that relay policy statements for prevention and treatment on all areas in CDC's scope of responsibility (e.g., recommendations from the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices).
Surveillance Summaries. The MMWR Surveillance Summaries provide a means for CDC programs to disseminate surveillance findings, permitting detailed interpretation of trends and patterns based on those findings.
Supplements. The MMWR Supplements present information that does not easily conform to the format or content of an MMWR Recommendations and Report or Surveillance Summary, such as compilation of historic events or accomplishments and reports or proceedings from national conferences.
Submission: All reports must be submitted through ScholarOne Manuscripts (https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/mmwr-sp). Included in the submission should be documentation of clearance (See Section IV) and signed Conflict of Interest (COI) forms for each author. Once clearance is confirmed, COI forms are reviewed, and the text and accompanying supports are determined to be in the appropriate format (See Section V), the report is assigned to a project editor and the production process begins. Serial reports typically require 12-16 weeks, from the time it is assigned to a projected editor until the report is published.
Publication date: Publication dates are typically determined after review of the first proof during the production process. At the program's request, we will set a publication date prior to submission. However, maintaining the publication date is dependent on the report being submitted at the time agreed upon by MMWR and the author.
(http://www.icmje.org/recommendations/browse/roles-and-responsibilities/defining-the-role-of-authors-and-contributors.html). Authorship credit should be based on three conditions, all of which must be met: 1) substantial contributions to conception and design, acquisition of data, or analysis and interpretation of data; 2) drafting the report or revising it critically for important intellectual content; and 3) final approval of the version to be published.
All authors must assume responsibility for the published version of the manuscript. Authors should be able to defend their contribution independently. Collectively, authors should be able to defend the design, execution, and conclusions of the report.
Persons will not be listed as authors merely by virtue of their position in an organization or by attendance at a meeting. Similarly, participation solely in the acquisition of funding, the collection of data, or general supervision of the research group is not sufficient for authorship.
Persons or groups that reviewed a submission for a clearance process or who suggested revisions or limited changes to a submission will not be listed as authors.
An acknowledgments section may be used to recognize the work of persons who made substantial contributions to the project but who do not meet the MMWR author criteria.
The list of authors follows the title. First and last names and middle initials (optional) should be used and the single highest academic degree (masters or above) should follow the names. The organizational affiliation will be footnoted below the list of authors. Contact information should be provided for the corresponding author.
The order of authorship should be a joint decision of the coauthors. MMWR recognizes that scientific work is a collaboration and collaborators have a responsibility to define, accept, and fulfill their roles. MMWR recommends that author order be discussed early during a collaboration and revised as needed as the work progresses. Authorship order, including choice of first author, should be based on the level of contribution to the report and the work underlying it. The first author will have responsibility for the integrity of the work as a whole from inception to publication. First authors also are responsible for providing leadership in determining order of the other coauthors, establishing writing assignments, providing direction for reviews and revisions, and compiling drafts. The first author should ensure an open forum for coauthors to share their concerns and suggestions and should ensure that all ethical considerations (e.g., IRB review, disclosure of conflicts of interest) have been addressed.
All entities that are required to clear the report in accordance with the current CDC Clearance Policy.
Local and state health departments involved in the investigation or analysis (for states, usually the state epidemiologist).
CDC branches, divisions, and national centers (or CDC offices) that have a programmatic interest in the report's topic.
Other federal agencies named in the report or that have a programmatic or regulatory interest in matters mentioned in the report.
Private-sector organizations, international health agencies, ministries of health, and other organizations at which any named contributor is employed, according to the clearance policies for that organization, agency, or ministry.
Outside authors are not required to have a CDC coauthor to submit their reports. Outside authors who do have a CDC coauthor (including CDC contractors and state-based EISOs) should have their report submitted for clearance and cross-clearance through the CDC coauthor's center.
Submission FormatsText. Text should be submitted in Microsoft Word, double-spaced, in Times Roman font and in 11 or 12 point. There is no word limit for Serial reports. Because CDC is the corporate author and stands behind every report, use of first person (I, we, our) is not permitted.
Tables. Tables should be created in Word table function or in Excel. Contributors should study tables in previous reports for style. Tables cannot have tabs or extra spaces within the cells. Tables should be sent in separate files and not embedded in text. For tables listing epidemiologic data by geographic division (e.g., state, locality, city), MMWR prefers to publish table data sorted by performance.
Figures. Figures should be created in (not pasted into) Adobe Illustrator, PowerPoint, Excel or (in the case of maps) vector format files (such as .ai, .eps, and .wmf). Bar graphs or line graphs should have underlying data tables. Place keys/legends within the figure. Figures should be submitted in separate files and not embedded in text.
Footnotes. For footnotes, do not submit with the endnotes function of MS Word engaged. Use the following footnote symbols in order of appearance: *, †, §, ¶, **,††, §§, ¶¶, etc. The * symbol is not superscripted. All others are superscripted.
Cover Art. Art work for the covers of reports is accepted but is not mandatory. Photographs and line art are acceptable. Photographs should be 300 dpi and should be submitted, preferably, as a .tif file (.jpeg and .cmyk are acceptable). Line art should be submitted as an .eps file or .pdf.
Summaries and Abstracts. A summary (maximum 275 words) is required for Recommendations and Reports and supplements. A structured abstract (i.e., Problem/Condition, Reporting Period, Description of System, Results, Interpretation, and Public Health Action) is required for Surveillance Summaries.
How do the guidelines add to or differ from what was available previously?
Who was involved in the production of the guidelines and how?
What information base was considered?
What was the rationale for considering this evidence base?
What potential information bases were not consulted?
How does the information considered support or relate to the conclusions or recommendations?
References. Authors are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of their references and for correct text citation. References should be cited according to instructions contained in The Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals. Reference numbers must be cited in the text in parentheses and italicized, not superscripted. All citations included in the reference list must be cited at least once in numerical order in the text only. Abbreviate names of journals according to the journals list in PubMed (available at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/). For authors, list up to six authors and/or editors; if more than six, list the first three followed by "et al." Reference numbers must be manually inserted in the text, not linked to an endnote function or reference manager software. There is no limit on the number of references used in any Serial report unless established prior to submission.

BREAKING: Four Marines arrested for assaulting men at Long Beach gay bar
Posted on September 4, 2012 by Phillip Zonkel
By Tracy Manzer
LONG BEACH —
Long Beach Police Department detectives are investigating a possible
hate crime attack involving four Marine Corps members from Camp Pendleton who attacked a
gay man outside a popular local gay bar, authorities confirmed Tuesday.
Police were called to the Silver Fox, located on Redondo Avenue
near Fourth Street on the edge of Belmont Heights, about 2 a.m.
Monday, said Nancy Pratt, a Long Beach Police Department spokeswoman.
"Based on the preliminary investigation, it was determined
that an assault had occurred to a male adult by several male suspects
after they had left the establishment," Pratt said Tuesday.
During the assault, Pratt said, two other people who came to the
aid of the victim were also attacked. Only one of the victims was
taken to the hospital with what police described as
"non-life-threatening injuries."
Silver Fox Manager John Barnes told the Press-Telegram on Monday
that the four men came into the bar late Sunday or early Monday and
the primary culprit, who seemed visibly uncomfortable while at the
bar, called Barnes "sweetheart."
"You could tell by the tone of his voice that he was
uncomfortable, he was making a demeaning remark," Barnes said.

Historic first – troops in uniform march in San Diego gay parade
Posted on July 23, 2012 by Phillip Zonkel
SAN DIEGO — Some of the loudest cheers Saturday at San Diego's gay pride parade were for active-duty troops marching in military dress, the first time U.S. service members participated in such an event while in full uniform.
Dozens of soldiers, sailors and Marines marched alongside an old Army truck decorated with a "Freedom to Serve" banner and a rainbow flag. They were joined by dozens more military personnel in civilian clothes, but the uniforms stood out among the flower-bedecked floats and scantily clad revelers.
In a memorandum sent to all its branches this year, the Defense Department said it was making the one-time allowance for the San Diego event even though its policy generally bars troops from marching in uniform in parades.
The Defense Department said Thursday it allowed the exception because organizers had encouraged military personnel to march in their uniform and the parade was getting national attention.

Bradley Manning, U.S. soldier accused of leaking material to WikiLeaks, nominated for Nobel Peace Prize
From the Associated Press
OSLO, Norway – The Nobel Peace Prize jury says 231 nominations were submitted for this year's award, with publicly disclosed candidates including a former Ukrainian prime minister and the gay U.S. soldier accused of leaking classified material to WikiLeaks, a spokesman said.
The secretive committee doesn't reveal who has been nominated, but those with nomination rights sometimes announce their picks. They include Bradley Manning, the U.S. Army private charged with the biggest leak of classified information in U.S. history, Russian human rights activist Svetlana Gannushkina and former Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko.
Norwegian Nobel Committee secretary Geir Lundestad told the AP on Monday that "The list of nominees is a mixture of repeated nominations and some new names."

NON CERTIFIED REFEREES - If you have not certified after several tryouts, perhaps is because you are not serious in becoming a referee. The SYS Referee Development Program now allow a one season tryout per participant. Please click on Referee Training on the left side of this website to learn how to become certified.
Referees must arrive at the field 15 minutes before their first game of the day. You are responsible for checking in each team prior to kick-off so the game starts on time.
Referees must wear a referee shirt or yellow t-shirt provided by SYS, and have a whistle and a stopwatch or other timekeeping device. Refs may wear long pants, gloves, and wear additional clothing under the ref shirt for cold weather conditions.
Referees should speak loudly and clearly when making a call so the players and coaches are aware of your ruling. If you are unable to get the players and coaches' attention verbally, you should blow your whistle to stop play and then resume play correctly.
Whistles must be blown loudly for all players and coaches to hear. Not being able to hear the whistle is the most common complaint made against rec referees.
If there is a problem with the conduct of a spectator, address it immediately to both team coaches. It is up to the coaches to control their team's spectators.
Please contact me at [email protected] to let me know your personal or family email address so I can keep in touch about the schedule.
If you are unable to work, or need to cancel or switch games, please contact me by email or phone as soon as possible and no later than Wednesday prior to the games. Referees may not switch games or schedule their own replacements unless approved by the Referee Director.
In the event of severe weather or poor field conditions, game cancellations will be posted on the SYS website (seekonksoccer.org) by 9:00 A.M. the day of the game. The Referee Director will also send an email to all referees the morning of the game(s), so it is imperative that you check your email before heading to the field.
Referees who do not show up on game day without notification will forfeit future work in SYS.
Referees pay scale is $12/game for U8-U10, and $17/game for U11–U14. If dual referees are assigned to work U11-U14 games, the pay will be $12/game/referee.

Philosophers of Babel
By Ross Perlin May 9, 2014
The Dictionary of Untranslatables offers proof that ideas like "democracy," "revolution," "politics,"
and even "existence" translate easily from County Cork to Kyiv.
Grand translation schemes always flirt with absurdity. The mighty Septuagint—the first-ever translation of the Hebrew Bible, into Greek—is named for the 70 (or possibly 72) learned Alexandrian Jews allegedly pressed into service by King Ptolemy II back in the third century BCE. The King James Bible, named for its cagey sponsor ("the wisest fool in Christendom"), was the work of the 47 forgotten Anglican churchmen he deputized. The urge lives on today in Google Translate, whose gurus crunch their algorithmic way through endless error; the Phraselator folks, whose handheld gizmo is mainly used by the U.S. military and by Native American tribes; and SIL International, with its 5,000-plus missionary linguists busy rendering scripture into every human language.
By comparison, The Dictionary of Untranslatables, newly translated from the French original, wears its modest megalomania well. An 11-year project involving some 150 contributors and comprising more than 400 entries, the Dictionary suggests comparison with Volume XI of the First Encyclopedia of Tlön, described by Borges as "a vast and systemic fragment of the entire history of an unknown planet." The planet in question here is what we usually call "continental philosophy." It's everything that the bone-dry Anglo-American analytical philosophy taught in our universities isn't: a heady universe of speculative thinking about the meaning of life, the history of ideas, the fate of mankind, and so on.
Postmodern winks aside, The Dictionary of Untranslatables is a mad, encyclopedic tribute in the grand tradition of bizarre translation projects, with the official funding to match: Eurothink at its academic best. Why else would the culture czars of Paris and Brussels who've brought you the yearly European Culture Capitals (Umeå, anyone?) and Quaero (the mysterious, amply funded Franco-German search engine) pay theory buffs the big euros, if not to pedal soft power? The first translation of all this untranslatability, conspiracy theorists will remark, was into Ukrainian.
Editor Barbara Cassin notes in her introduction that language is "one of the most urgent problems posed by the existence of Europe." This is not a theoretical statement: The European Union is usually cited as having the largest translation service in the world. For years the proceedings of the European Parliament were translated into every official language (there are now 24), resulting in a massive "parallel corpus" that geeks and linguists have been mining with glee—a veritable Rosetta Stone of the present. The Dictionary aligns itself fervently with this multilingual vision. It is against the threat of all-conquering, homogenizing English and in support of a Europe that "explores divisions, tensions, transfers, appropriations, contradictions, in order to construct a better versions of itself." If not politically, is this still at least philosophically possible in the Age of Merkel? Will Europe also need an intellectual and spiritual lender of last resort (dernier ressort)?
From certain outside points of view, Europeans are famously and marvelously fractious, as irregular as their indented coastline. Proud languages like French, Italian, and Spanish are swell-headed dialects, a Chinese or Arabic speaker might say—and likewise English speakers, keen to keep up cousinly connections, are held to be ignorant or jesting if they say they speak "American," "Canadian," or "Kiwi." Linguists, too, might question whether the European rainbow (or is it a Rem Koolhaas bar code?) really covers much of the color spectrum. To begin with, the vast majority of European tongues stem from just a handful of branches of the Indo-European language family—and the world begins to look quite different in outliers like Hungarian, Saami, Maltese, or Basque (the last represented in the Dictionary by gogo, which translates, or doesn't, as "spirit" or "soul").
What's more, the European languages represented here (especially French, German, and Italian, plus the venerated forebears Greek and Latin) have grown up together for centuries, evolving through constant interchange into what is sometimes called "Standard Average European." Indeed, the Dictionary is further proof that "Europe," for all its agreeing to disagree, is very much a shared intellectual space, an ongoing Republic of Letters: Ideas like "democracy," "revolution," "politics," and even "existence" translate easily from County Cork to Kyiv.
Not that we shouldn't attend to the nuances—vive la différence! Inevitably, the more different, the more striking: Take Russian pravda, a blackened word that is finally shedding the connotations of Soviet agitprop. Usually translated as "truth", vérité, Wahrheit, and the like, pravda also has "justice, legitimacy, law, equity" very much in its semantic field according to the Dictionary, reflecting a traditional view, now "broken by modern physics," that the world endures through the just, that "truth" is not fully autonomous but has a moral character. (It's not clear if this has affected actual usage, or if a nuanced understanding of pravda is really so far from the idea of "truth" in a contemporary English expression like "speak truth to power.")
Another case, from the other side of the continent, is saudade, "a tender malaise," an untranslatable nostalgia-and-then-some long presented as "the key feeling of the Portuguese soul," the longing of "a people that has always looked beyond its transatlantic horizons." The Dictionary takes us on a bracing journey through the history of saudade, from a 14th-century codex to the Jesuit António Vieira's fantastical History of the Future and a samba by the legendary Brazilian musician Antônio Carlos Jobim. We learn that the word has consistently been used to assert a national character in the face of outside intrusion.
This is revealing stuff, but may belong more readily to the history of nationalism than to a cosmopolitan history of philosophy, as the intellectual historian Svetlana Boym reminds us: "Curiously, intellectuals and poets from different national traditions began to claim that they had a special word for homesickness that was radically untranslatable: the Portuguese had their saudade, Russians toska, Czechs litost', Romanians dor … untranslatable words of national uniqueness [that] proved to be synonyms of the same historical emotion." One word, coined by the psychologist Erik Erikson, that does not appear in the Dictionary: pseudo-speciation, the purposeful elaboration of difference where none really existed before.
The Dictionary is at its best not so much when unpacking keywords from disparate national traditions or when wading into the depths of wide-angle comparative philosophy, given that a deep comparison of European "nature" with Chinese ziran would pose many more problems than anything attempted here. But the Dictionary is revealing for the way it sketches, lexically, a set of parallel but alternate intellectual traditions. What language teachers call "false friends" are everywhere, inspiring a constant alertness to nuance. Did you know that French classicisme summons up Versailles (which we'd call baroque) but it was German Klassizismus that crystallized our idea of the "neoclassical"? Or that the vital feminist distinction between "sex" and "gender," current in English since the 1970s, was "nearly impossible to translate into any Romance language," not to mention the problems posed by the German Geschlecht, as Judith Butler writes in the Dictionary? Further probing may even make us wonder whether the nature/culture distinction so sharply drawn (and now promoted) by the English idea of "sex" vs. "gender" is the right distinction—the languages of the world offer many other possibilities.
This is the kind of "philosophizing through languages" that the Dictionary's editors have in mind, and they're right: philosophy has always been about bending (and coining) words to work in particular ways, about consciously harnessing and creating abstraction out of linguistic systems already engaged willy-nilly in much the same task. A century ago, analytic philosophers such as Bertrand Russell and Ludwig Wittgenstein saw the problems of philosophy as all boiling down to unclear language; contributors to the Dictionary lay a similar stress on words but revel in their contested indeterminacy. They chart a middle course between Anglo-American "ordinary language philosophy," which harvests the way we actually talk, and quasi-mystical etymology spinning and neologism making in the style of Martin Heidegger (though the Dictionary doesn't shrink from taking on such translation-proof Heideggerisms as Dasein and Ereignis). Though generally grounded in intellectual and linguistic history, the Dictionary's authors sometimes seem to forget that they're handling actual words rooted in and shaped by spoken languages, not just talismans passed down and swapped back and forth by a transnational philosopher tribe. Occasional cross-referencing with Urban Dictionary is strongly recommended, likewise Raymond Williams's Keywords and Flaubert's Dictionary of Received Ideas.
Many languages get their own entries. The one on English aptly highlights the "genius of the ordinary," the resistance of English-language philosophers across several centuries to building a rigorous philosophical jargon. Even as minuscule a factor as the naturalness of the English gerund can't be discounted, the Dictionary informs us, noting how heavily we lean on a phrase like "the making of" where French is stuck with the ungainly le faire. Likewise we have to wonder at certain special properties of Greek and German, the two Western languages in which philosophy feels fully at home: the former its native land, the latter a foreign soil to which it was transplanted through great effort and originality by the likes of Kant, Hegel, Nietzsche, and Heidegger. Whatever is untranslatable wins out in the end, provided we care enough.
The Dictionary, we should have said at the outset, is too heavy to read and too random to reference systematically. Scrupulous and difficult, it's everything that the Internet, which wants everything to talk "frictionlessly" with everything else, is not. No dreams of universal translation here—enjoy the friction. Use it for bibliomancy, the lost art of divination by book (with scripture or Virgil or Homer or Hafiz). You flip at random but with intention to a section of the venerated tome, you place your finger on the page, and your fate is there in the text. That fate, those words: They are yours and yours alone.
