Summary Leviticus, Numbers, & Deuteronomy
You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might.
See Important Quotations Explained
Throughout Leviticus, Israel remains encamped at Mount Sinai while God appears in the Tent of Meeting, dictating to Moses his specifications regarding the Jewish ceremonial laws. The laws are extremely detailed, outlining every aspect of how and when religious offerings are to be presented to God. God gives the instructions himself, and his voice comprises the majority of the text. A brief narrative interlude describes the anointing of Aaron and his sons as Israel's priests. At the ceremony, God appears and engulfs the altar in a burst of flames, eliciting shouts of joy from the people. Soon after, God also sends fire to consume two of Aaron's sons when they neglect to make the right preparations for approaching the altar.
God lists various types of forbidden sexual behavior and discusses foods and physical conditions that can make a person unclean. Uncleanliness can result from things such as bodily discharge or touching a dead carcass. An unclean person must leave the Israelite camp or undergo physical cleansing, waiting periods, and religious sacrifices. Typically, sexual sins are punishable by death, but God also instructs the Israelites to kill a man who blasphemes, or curses God's name. Of all his restrictions, God places particular emphasis on the prohibition against eating meat with blood still in it: doing so will result in banishment, not only from Israel but from God's graces as well.
In the end, God promises to give Israel great abundance and success if it obeys these laws. If Israel is disobedient, though, God will send destruction and famine and "abhor" the Israelites (26:30). But the laws in Leviticus also set aside an annual Day of Atonement during which the priest is to offer sacrifices for the forgiveness of the entire nation. As long as the Israelites confess and repent for their sins, God promises to keep his covenant and never leave them.
At the beginning of Numbers, Israel prepares to continue the journey from Mount Sinai to the promised land. God devotes one of the twelve tribes, the Levites, to assist Aaron in the work of the priesthood, maintaining and watching over Israel's religious articles. After dedicating the Tabernacle, which houses the Ark of the Covenant, the Israelites leave Sinai, guided by the movements of a cloud that rests over the Tabernacle. Entering the desert, the people begin to complain about everything from the lack of interesting food to Moses's leadership.
Moses sends spies into Canaan to explore the promised land. Upon returning, two of the spies, Joshua and Caleb, report that Israel can successfully conquer the Canaanite people with God's help. However, some of the spies incite an uprising, arguing that it will be impossible to take the land from the Canaanites and that Israel should return to Egypt instead. God plans to destroy the people for their lack of faith, but Moses intervenes and convinces God to forgive them. God relents but delivers a heavy curse. He announces that the current generation of Israelites, with the exception of Joshua and Caleb, will not be allowed to enter the promised land. Moses leads the people back toward the Red Sea to wander in the wilderness for a period of forty years.
Another revolt occurs when three men grow jealous of Moses's leadership. God plans to destroy the entire nation because of the men's jealousy, but Moses persuades God to destroy only the guilty parties. Moses warns the people that the men will die as a result of their own disobedience. God causes the ground to open and swallow the men, but the Israelites blame Moses and Aaron for the incident. Very angry, God sends a rapidly spreading plague through the crowd, killing thousands. Aaron runs out into the crowd and holds up the priest's censer to atone for Israel's wrongdoing, stopping the plague in its destructive path.
Following this event, Moses and Aaron themselves disobey God. The people continue to complain about the lack of water and express their longing to be back in Egypt. God instructs Moses to speak to a rock and command it to produce water. Moses, instead, hits the rock angrily with his staff. The rock proceeds to pour forth water, but God tells Moses and Aaron that they, too, will never enter the promised land because of this brash act. Aaron dies soon after, and the priesthood passes on to Aaron's son Eleazar.
Israel wanders in the lands southwest of Canaan, requesting safe passage from the surrounding nations but receiving little hospitality in return. With God's help, Israel conquers the Amorites and settles in their lands. Learning of the overthrow, the king of Moab summons a renowned sorcerer, Balaam, to come and pronounce a curse on the Israelites. The angel of God intercepts Balaam on the road to Moab, frightening Balaam's donkey. When Balaam strikes the panicked animal, the donkey miraculously speaks, rebuking Balaam. The Lord points out the angel's presence. The angel of God forbids Balaam to curse the Israelites before the king of Moab. Balaam arrives in Moab and delivers four cryptic oracles to the king, blessing Israel and predicting Moab's destruction.
The Israelite men succumb to the surrounding native peoples by fraternizing with the local women and worshipping the pagan god Baal. God sends a plague on Israel that ends only when Eleazar's son, the priest, kills an Israelite man and his Midianite mistress, stabbing them before all of Israel with a single thrust of his spear. Eleazar's son's impassioned act earns God's approval, and God leads Israel in destroying the Midianites, plundering their wealth in the process. As the forty-year waiting period draws to a close, God appoints Joshua to eventually succeed Moses as the people's leader.
The Book of Deuteronomy begins in the final, fortieth year of Israel's wandering in the desert. Stationed east of the Jordan River, Moses addresses the new generation of Israelites in preparation for entering the promised land. He summarizes the events of the past four decades and encourages the young Israelites to remember God's miracles and covenant with Israel. He forbids the worship of other gods or idols in the new land and repeats the Ten Commandments given by God at Mount Sinai. Most importantly, Moses gives explicit instructions to the Israelites to destroy all the native inhabitants of the promised land so that the Canaanites do not interfere with Israel's worship of God. Moses restates many of the social laws and rules of conduct outlined in Leviticus, adding a few new laws, such as the requirement for the Israelites to cancel debts every seven years.
Moses stresses God's love for Israel, describing God as someone who protects orphans, widows, and oppressed people. Israel is to love God intensely in return, with absolute devotion. The words of God's laws are very important. Moses instructs the Israelites to meditate on these words and to write the laws on their bodies and on the doorframes of their homes. Moses argues that the love of God and a commitment to his laws will be considered goodness for Israel (6:25). While Moses predicts that Israel will eventually grow disobedient, he notes that God will welcome Israel back with abundance and prosperity whenever Israel returns to obedience.
At God's direction, Moses composes a song that recounts Israel's history of unfaithfulness and extols God's everlasting compassion. Moses says the song will be a reminder to future Israelites of their covenant with God. He writes the song in the Book of the Laws and places the book with the Ark of the Covenant. Afterward, Moses ascends a mountain where God shows him a vision of the promised land. Moses dies and is buried by God. The author praises him as the only prophet in Israel's history who performed such impressive miracles and who knew God "face to face" (34:10).
The books of Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy form the bulk of the Hebrew law, or Torah. Each text mixes procedural instructions and legal matters with a variety of narrative voices and action. The separate books are probably the collected writings of priests with different interests and perspectives, written sometime during Israel's tumultuous exile in the seventh and sixth centuries b.c. The three works document an important stage in the development of Israel's identity as a people and a nation. The prose is frequently arduous and repetitive, but it functions as a long, concentrated pause in the narrative of the Old Testament. Israel's wandering in the desert can be seen as the nation's adolescence—a period of education and growth following the nation's birth in the exodus from Egypt and the events at Mount Sinai.
The fact that the Israelites' punishment for certain infractions is to isolate or expel the offending individual from the camp demonstrates the extraordinary desire of the people to remain part of the community. The Israelite camp is set up in concentric circles with the tabernacle at its center: Moses and Aaron are closest to the tabernacle, followed by the Levites who care for it, and the rest of the tribes surround them. Since uncleanness bars a person from approaching the sacred religious items, physical impurity places one farthest from the center of Israel. In this way, God's injunctions challenge the Israelites to strive to remain near the nation's center. The distinction between purity and impurity helps promote a distinction between an accepted, privileged "us" and an outcast "them" who are outside the circle of the community.
Moses's emphasis on the word "heart" in his sermons is also critical to Israel's understanding of itself as a unified people. Moses describes the physical and external regulations of the law by using spiritual and internal imagery. He says, "Hear, O Israel: The Lord is our God, the Lord alone. You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might. Keep these words that I am commanding you today in your heart" (Deuteronomy 6:6). The idea that Israel as a whole has a "heart" or a group of "hearts" suggests that the nation has developed a set of personal or private experiences over the forty years of wandering in the desert. This waiting period distances Israel from Egypt and the laws at Mount Sinai, forcing the nation to form a collective memory of these events. When Moses instructs the people, "You shall put these words of mine in your heart and soul," he encourages them to internalize and embrace these collective, national memories (Deuteronomy 11:18). Moses portrays the religious laws no longer as a list of actions to be performed in the future but as sacred words and ideas that are a part of a past and an internal life that is unique to Israel.
The description of God as loving and compassionate in Deuteronomy is perplexing in light of God's intense wrath in Numbers. Moses, however, seems to see God's violent reaction to Israel's complaints and infidelities as an exercise or a test of Israel's commitment to the covenant. Indeed, God's destruction follows a consistent pattern in Numbers: the people complain and wish to return to Egypt; God threatens to destroy the people; Moses or another representative intercedes on behalf of the people; and God relents, punishing only a portion of Israel's population. The climax in these exercises occurs when representatives of the people speak on behalf of Israel. The moment of intercession when the plague is stopped by Aaron running into the crowd or by Eleazar's son stabbing the man and his foreign mistress are both climactic. Man's intercession does not require God to stop his destruction, but it creates the opportunity for Israel's leaders to display religious zeal and for God to show his mercy. God manifests his compassion and love not by what he does, but by what he does not do. Israel emerges from these encounters as a nation that has survived trials and hardship—a resilient people, with its weakest members now weeded out.

Statistics show that more than 23 million children and teenagers in the U.S. are obese or overweight. There is no question, these statistics from HealthierKidsBrighterFutures.org illustrate that childhood obesity is now considered an epidemic.
•	Provide plenty of vegetables, fruits, and whole-grain products.
•	Include low-fat or non-fat milk or dairy products.
•	Choose lean meats, poultry, fish, lentils, and beans for protein.
•	Encourage your family to drink lots of water.
•	Limit consumption of sugar and saturated fat.
•	Help kids stay active.
Obviously, keeping active is of utmost importance. The CDC recommends that children and teens should participate in at least 60 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity daily.
They encourage parents to be active as well, to set an example for their children. Being physically active can include everything from taking a walk as a family, to playing tag or getting kids involved in organized sports or dance classes.
The CDC also recommends that in addition to encouraging physical activity, you should help your children avoid too much sedentary time. They suggest no more than two hours total a day of screen time in front of a computer or television.
The benefits of being active for children truly "outweigh" the consequences of being sedentary.

NFL Odds and Picks in the 2017 Playoffs Wildcard Round
James Johnson2017-01-04T17:20:01+00:00
There are four Super Bowl Champion quarterbacks in the 2017 playoff Wildcard round. In fact, three of those four won the Championship by getting hot since the early rounds of the postseason.
We start the weekend with what look like the two weakest teams in the game between Raiders and Texans on Saturday. Later, Lions and Seahawks will meet in a clash of teams with real talent but with plenty of issues.
Sunday, on the other hand, will have two rematches from this regular season. The Dolphins will visit the Steelers early in the biggest NFL betting spread margin of the weekend. And last but not least is the game of the week. NY Giants vs. Green Bay Packers should be an epic one.
The NFL Odds and Picks in the 2017 Playoffs Wildcard Round:
Oakland Raiders (12-4) at Houston Texans (9-7)
NFL Point Spread: Houston Texans -3
Game Total: 37.5
Game Time: Saturday, January 7 | 4:35 PM ET
Stadium: NRG Stadium, Houston, Texas
TV: ESPN/ABC
The Raiders and the Texans played in Mexico City in week 11. The win by Oakland reminded us they were going for big things this season. But with QB Derek Carr out for their postseason run, the Raiders seem doomed to lose early in the playoffs.
Oakland will either enter their first playoffs game in over a decade with Matt McGloin or Connor Cook under center. McGloin has a 1-6 record in his career with 11 touchdowns thrown and 11 interceptions. Cook is a rookie whom last season was getting beat up by Alabama in the College Football semifinals. Overall the Raiders are a better team than the Texans, but the pay per head sportsbooks are not buying in without their starter quarterback under center.
Houston has the bets total defense in the NFL. Their defensive unit is the reason they won the AFC South again. They are second best against the pass and good enough against the run. Their game plan will be stopping the Raiders RB Latavius Murray and putting the faith of the game in the hands of either McGloin or Cook.
The Texans' problem is they can't trust their quarterback. Brock Osweiler will likely start on Saturday as Tom Savage nurses a shoulder injury. Osweiler completed 21 of 40 passes for 253 yards and one touchdown in the Week 17 loss to the Titans. Those numbers are far from impressive, but that's one of the best game he has put together as a member of the Texans.
The Texans are 1-4 ATS in their last five games following an ATS loss, 1-3-1 ATS in their last five home games, 1-5 ATS vs. a team with a winning record and 1-5 ATS in their last six vs. AFC teams. The Raiders are 4-0 ATS in their last four games following a straight up loss, 9-2 ATS in their last 11 road games, 6-2 ATS in their last eight vs. AFC and 5-2 ATS vs. a team with a winning record.
This game should be close until the end. Both quarterbacks in charge will stink up the place. To be safe, grab the points to beat the sports betting agent.
NFL Betting Picks: Raiders +3.
Detroit Lions (9-7) at Seattle Seahawks (10-5-1)
NFL Point Spread: Seattle Seahawks -7.5
Game Total: 43
Stadium: CenturyLink Field, in Seattle, Washington
TV: NBC
After losing to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday Night, the Detroit Lions settled for a wildcard spot in the NFC. Their reward is visiting the Seattle Seahawks at CenturyLink Field.
The Lions know they have a monster task in hand, but they also need to know they are visiting Seattle just at the right time. The online bookie software understands who complicated the Seahawks become when they play at home. That's why the home team is over a touchdown favorite. But Seattle is no longer the unbeatable force they once were.
The Seahawks posted a 7-1 straight home record this season and just 4-3-1 against the spread. They could have lost playing at home against the Miami Dolphins and the Atlanta Falcons. And they indeed dropped one against the Arizona Cardinals just two weeks ago. Their week 17 presentation against the San Francisco 49ers was a tough one. The Seahawks allowed one of the worst teams in the NFL to stay in a game that only mattered to Seattle.
Don't get me wrong, the Detroit Lions are not a bulletproof team. They have plenty of issues. Their QB Matt Stafford is dealing with a middle finger injury that doesn't allow him to throw easily. Their running game has been up and down. And history says they don't well in the postseason. Even so, this is a team that fights hard. Taking the points seems the natural move to collect against the bookie business.
Keep in mind the NFL betting trends say the Seahawks are 0-4 ATS in their last four playoff games, 1-4 ATS in their last five games in January and just 4-10 ATS in their last 14 games as a favorite of 3.5-10.0 points.
NFL Betting Predictions: Lions +3.5
Miami Dolphins (10-6) at Pittsburgh Steelers (11-5)
NFL Point Spread: Pittsburgh Steelers -10
Game Time: Sunday, January 8 | 1:05 PM ET
Stadium: Heinz Field, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
TV: CBS
The Dolphins and the Steelers played in Miami in week six this season. The result was a monumental upset by Miami with a 30-15 win at home. The game also left QB Ben Roethlisberger with a knee injury that cost the Steelers a few wins later.
Roethlisberger is healthy now, but the Dolphins will go to the playoffs with a backup quarterback under center. Pittsburgh has a playoffs experience roster looking to make a Super Bowl run. Miami is only seeking to survive week to week.
Expect the Dolphins to run the ball hard. RB Jay Ajayi posted three games with over 200 rushing yards this season. The first of the three was against the Steelers. He will be the reason Miami has a shot or not in this one. Pittsburgh defense has improved a lot. They will be waiting for the Dolphins running game.
The Steelers also rested their three main players in Week 17. Ben Roethlisberger, WR Antonio Brown and RB Le'Veon Bell should be ready to go for the wildcard. Last season Pittsburgh was eliminated by the Denver Broncos with Brown and Bell sidelined by injuries. Not this time.
The online bookies made the Steelers a double-digit favorite for this one. It is kind of surprising knowing this is a postseason game, but it is the way to go when a backup quarterback faces and two-time Super Bowl Champ QB on the road.
The Steelers are 5-1-1 ATS in their last seven games as a favorite, 4-1-1 ATS in their last six games following a straight up win, 4-1-1 ATS in their last six vs. AFC teams and 5-1-1 ATS in their last seven games overall.
The Dolphins are 3-7 ATS in their last ten games as a road underdog of 3.5-10.0 points, 0-4 ATS in their last four playoff games, 3-7 ATS vs. a team with a winning record and 3-10 ATS in their last 13 games after scoring less than 15 points in their previous game.
NFL Betting Picks: Steelers -10.
NY Giants Dolphins (11-5) at Green Bay Packers (10-6)
NFL Point Spread: Green Bay Packers -4
Stadium: Lambeau Field, Green Bay, Wisconsin
Of course, the NY Giants visiting the Green Bay Packers is the best game of the week in the divisional round of the playoffs. Between both quarterbacks Eli Manning and Aaron Rodgers, they add up three Super Bowl trips and three Championship rings.
Both teams are hot, and their forms resemble a lot of their past postseason runs. The sports bookies see the Packers as the best team, rating them as 4-point favorites.
Green Bay has won the last six game of the schedule, and QB Aaron Rodgers is feeling it. Rodgers finished the season with 40 touchdowns and just seven interceptions. Rodgers threw 18 touchdowns with ZERO interceptions in their last seven games.
The Giants had to settle for a wildcard spot. They won nine of the last 11 games, including a game that meant nothing against Washington in week 17. Their defense is the second best in points allowed with just 17.8 points per game. New York has improved a lot, especially on the defense side. But they haven't played against a QB like Aaron Rodgers during their winning run.
The Packers are 4-1 ATS vs. a team with a winning record, 4-1 ATS in their last five home games, 4-1 ATS in their last five playoff games, and 4-1 ATS in their last five vs. NFC teams.
The Giants are 1-3-1 ATS in their last five games as a road underdog and 1-8-2 ATS in their last 11 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.
NFL Betting Predictions: Packers -4.

Q: Deceleration rate of objects of different mass but the same otherwise Using a tennis ball as an example object, if one ball weighs 1 ounce and the other is 2 ounces, and both are struck at 100 mph on the same trajectory, would there be any difference in the deceleration rate between the 2 different mass balls? (All other things about the two balls being equal). For instance, would the elapsed time for the ball to travel let's say 100 feet be different or the same?
FOLLOW UP QUESTION (based on answer #1):
If it's true that the lighter ball would decelerate faster (and consequently take longer to travel a given distance), then what would be the difference in the initial velocity of the two balls (one 1 ounce, the other 2 ounces) if both are struck with the same implement with the same force (let's say a tennis racket travelling 100 mph).
I'm assuming the lighter ball would have a higher initial speed.  If so, would the higher initial speed of the lighter ball offset the increased deceleration rate for the lighter ball.  In practical terms: with the initial speed being different, which ball would arrive first in the above example of 100 feet, the lighter ball or the heavier ball?
If not too difficult, could you explain how this relationship (first the initial speed difference and then the total travel time difference for 100 feet) would be calculated?

A: They have the same drag force, the lighter one will decelerate faster

A: When an object (ball) of mass $m$ at rest is struck elastically by another object of mass $M$ traveling with initial velocity $v$, then the velocity after impact is given by
$$v_{ball}=\frac{2M}{m+M}$$
Two limiting cases: $m=M$, maximum transfer of energy (the racket stops and the ball travels with the velocity of the racket); when $m<<M$, the final velocity is twice the initial velocity (but the racket maintains most of its energy).
With the values given you are in an intermediate regime - the lighter ball will travel faster immediately after impact but it will slow down faster. The math for this is complicated in 2D - but we can make some progress in 1D.
Drag force on a sphere is given roughly by
$$F= \frac12 \rho v^2 A C_D$$
Where $\rho= 1.2 kg/m^3, C_D=0.47, A= 0.0035 m^2$, so $F=0.002 v^2$.
The acceleration $a=F/m$ so as you can see the lighter ball will decelerate more quickly. The equations of motion become
$$\frac{dv}{dt}=-kv^2\\
\frac{dv}{v^2}=-k\cdot dt\\
\frac{1}{v}=kt + \frac{1}{v_0}\\
v(t)=\frac{1}{kt+\frac{1}{v_0}}\\
x(t)=\frac{1}{k}\log(v_0 k t +1)$$
Where $k=0.002/m$ - it depends on the mass of the ball
The typical mass of a tennis ball is about 58 gram and typical velocity about 30 m/s. A racket has a weight around 250 - 300 gram, so the extra speed you get for the lighter ball is small - but the deceleration is real.
Putting in round numbers:
$$v_{racket} = 20 m/s$$
$$v_1= 20\frac{600}{360} = 33 m/s\\
v_2 = 20\frac{600}{330} = 36 m/s$$
Plotting a graph of velocity and position as a function of time for a 1 oz and 2 oz (nominal) ball, I get for the position:

and for the ball speed:

This confirms that the lighter ball will initially go a little bit faster - but that drag will quickly eliminate its advantage over any but the shortest distances.
I will add graphs of the above function of x(t) when I get near a computer (hard to do on a phone...)

A: If the force applied to each ball is the same then it will provide the same impuls to both, then using J = M(v-u) it can be seen that the lighter ball will reach a higher maximum speed.
Following this, the ball's are now experiencing a drag force, depending on the assumptions made we can either assume that the drag force is constant, or that it is a function of the ball's velocity F = f(v) depending on the complexity of the model we are using.
Either way using Newtons Second Law, F = MA we can determine the acceleration on each of the balls. From here it is a case of using calculus to determine the time taken to travel a specific distance. In this case integrating twice, from here it is simply a case of subbing in numbers. I hope that this helped.


Sorbents used in SUMICHIRAL OA are chemically bonded to silica gel with various optically active compounds and are classified into amide and urea types based on their chemical structures. The amide type has an asymmetric carbon directly attached to the -CONH- group, and the urea type has an asymmetric carbon directly attached to the- NHCONH- group. OA-5000 - OA-6100 is a ligand-exchanged optically active stationary phase coated on ODS silica.

Nanosphere Closes $18.4M Stock Offering
Oct 28, 2014 | staff reporter
NEW YORK (GenomeWeb) – Nanosphere said after the close of the market Monday that it has closed its public offering of 40 million shares of its common stock at $.50 per share.
The firm expects the offering to bring in net proceeds of approximately $18.4 million, which it will use for general corporate purposes and working capital.
Nanosphere noted that provided 400,000 shares of its common stock to the underwriters as part of the underwriters' fee. Chardan Capital Markets served as the sole book-running manager on the offering.
The offering was made pursuant to a recent $100 million shelf offering. It priced the offering last week, while also announcing that its shares would move to the Nasdaq Capital Market — which comprises companies with lower levels of market capitalization — from the Nasdaq Global Market, which comprises midcap-sized companies and has stricter listing requirements.
Last month, the company received a letter from Nasdaq that the closing bid price on its shares had fallen below a minimum $1 per share price for the previous 30 days, putting the company at risk of getting delisted.

Jedle u Jirásků je památný strom v Liberci, krajském městě na severu České republiky.

Poloha a historie
Strom roste ve východních partiích města, na jihozápadním úbočí Liberecké výšiny (546 m n. m.). V zástavbě zdejší Wolkerovy ulice se nachází dům číslo popisné 417 a číslo orientační 14, na jehož zahradě strom roste. O zařazení stromu mezi památné rozhodl magistrát města Liberce dne 31. března 2015, kdy vydal rozhodnutí, jež nabylo právní moci 24. dubna 2015.

Popis
Památný strom, jedle ojíněná (Abies concolor), dosahuje výšky 27 metrů a obvod jejího kmene činí 276 centimetrů. Kolem vlastního stromu je definované ochranné pásmo, které má tvar kruhu, v jehož středu stojí památný strom. Poloměr tohoto kruhu činí 6,5 metru. Ceněný je pro své stáří, neboť stromy tohoto druhu odumírají v přírodě obvykle dříve než tento liberecký, současně má objemný kmen i větve rostoucí již ve spodní části.

Ribbon of Hope charity loses office in De Pere building fire
By Jason Zimmerman |

Updated: Thu 11:25 AM, Apr 25, 2019
DE PERE, Wis. (WBAY)- The building at 100 S. Broadway in De Pere that caught fire on Wednesday morning housed a number of businesses and residents.
Many of them have lost everything
This includes the Ribbon of Hope charity, which has handed out more than $3 million to help those diagnosed with breast cancer.
Meg Steinhardt is the charity's president and founder. She surveyed the damage to the building after the flames were put out Wednesday afternoon.
"First of all, we are so thankful that everyone is safe," she said, adding, "Our office was in the basement, in the back, on that back wall, and it's completely gone. Everything from a paper cutter to our computers to... everything."
Steinhardt says the charity's board of directors held a meeting after the fire to discuss how to proceed. For now Ribbon of Hope is taking a two-week break from being able to fulfill requests.
"We are a financial and emotional resource for individuals with breast cancer in Brown and Kewaunee and Oconto counties, and we financially help people not only with their medical bills but with their utilities, mortgage payment, rent, medicines, whatever they need when they're going through treatment," she said.
Ribbon of Hope has been around for 17 years. Fourteen were spent in the building which caught fire.
One of the reasons they were so successful in being able to give out about $3 million is that the building's owner never charged them any rent. That's allowed 97 cents of every dollar donated to the charity to go directly to those in need.
Steinhardt added, "I also grew up down the street and this was an iconic building in De Pere, so it's hard to see something from your childhood in your beautiful community no longer there, but we will rebuild. We're strong."

24 * The main data handler class which takes care of correctly updating and inserting records.
25 * This class was formerly known as TCEmain.
28 * This class is used by eg. the tce_db.php script which provides an the interface for POST forms to this class.
34 * tce_db.php for further comments and SYNTAX! Also see document 'TYPO3 Core API' for details.
45 * log-display is properly configured. So disabling this will just save some database-space as the default messages are not saved.
52 * If TRUE, actions are logged to sys_log.
60 * bunch of records.
68 * is similar, it's not saved then.
76 * unescaped data array instead. This switch may totally disappear in future versions of this class!
91 * If set, values '' and 0 will equal each other when the stored records are checked.
99 * delete permissions to it all). If not set, then the page is deleted ONLY if it has no branch.
106 * If set, then the 'hideAtCopy' flag for tables will be ignored.
120 * If set, then transformations are NOT performed on the input.
127 * If set, .vDEFbase values are unset in flexforms.
134 * TRUE: (traditional) Updates when record is saved. For flexforms, updates if change is made to the localized value.
135 * FALSE: Will not update anything.
143 * If TRUE, the translation diff. fields will in fact be reset so that they indicate that all needs to change again!
144 * It's meant as the opposite of declaring the record translated.
151 * If TRUE, workspace restrictions are bypassed on edit an create actions (process_datamap()).
152 * YOU MUST KNOW what you do if you use this feature!
159 * If TRUE, file handling of attached files (addition, deletion etc) is bypassed - the value is saved straight away.
160 * YOU MUST KNOW what you are doing with this feature!
167 * If TRUE, access check, check for deleted etc. for records is bypassed.
168 * YOU MUST KNOW what you are doing if you use this feature!
175 * Comma-separated list. This list of tables decides which tables will be copied. If empty then none will.
183 * If 0 then branch is NOT copied.
184 * If 1 then pages on the 1st level is copied.
193 * form $defaultValues[$table][$field] = $value to override the default values fetched from TCA.
204 * found in the table, because it's not checked. All columns can be set by this array!
211 * [filename]=alternative_filename: Use this array to force another name onto a file.
213 * then 'my_file.txt' will be used as the name instead.
227 * If entries are set in this array corresponding to fields for update, they are ignored and thus NOT updated.
228 * You could set this array from a series of checkboxes with value=0 and hidden fields before the checkbox with 1.
229 * Then an empty checkbox will disable the field.
238 * it to "DELETE" it will make sure any record with that UID will be deleted first (raw delete).
239 * The option is used for import of T3D files when synchronizing between two mirrored servers.
248 * iteration functions inside DataHandler for traversing a FlexForm structure.
258 * Contains mapping of auto-versionized records.
272 * Like $substNEWwithIDs, but where each old "NEW..." id is mapped to the table it was from.
286 * This array is the sum of all copying operations in this class. May be READ from outside, thus partly public.
293 * A map between input file name and final destination for files being attached to records.
300 * Contains [table][id][field] of fiels where RTEmagic images was copied. Holds old filename as key and new filename as value.
307 * Errors are collected in this variable.
315 // Internal Variables, do not touch.
321 * The user-object the script uses. If not set from outside, this is set to the current global $BE_USER.
360 * The list of <table>-<fields> that cannot be edited by user.This is compiled from TCA/exclude-flag combined with non_exclude_fields for the user.
415 * Used by function checkRecordUpdateAccess() to store whether a record is updateable or not.
465 * For accumulation of MM relations that must be written after new records are created.
500 * Used by the copy action to track the ids of new pages so subpages are correctly inserted!
501 * THIS is internally cleared for each executed copy operation! DO NOT USE THIS FROM OUTSIDE!
502 * Read from copyMappingArray_merged instead which is accumulating this information.
505 * are only available after an action has been completed.
555 * Tells, that this DataHandler instance was called from \TYPO3\CMS\Impext\ImportExport.
579 * Set to "currentRecord" during checking of values.
586 * A signal flag used to tell file processing that autoversioning has happend and hence certain action should be applied.
647 * For details, see 'TYPO3 Core API' document.
651 * @param array $cmd Commands to copy, move, delete, localize, versionize records.
692 * Function that can mirror input values in datamap-array to other uid numbers.
737 * Processing of uploaded files.
738 * It turns out that some versions of PHP arranges submitted data for files different if sent in an array. This function will unify this so the internal array $this->uploadedFileArray will always contain files arranged in the same structure.
767 * Traverse the upload array if needed to rearrange values.
771 * @param string $keyToSet The current $_FILES array key to set on the outermost level.
796 * but you can easily translate it to the real uid of the inserted record using the $this->substNEWwithIDs array.
823 * Gets the 'checkModifyAccessList' hook objects.
824 * The first call initializes the accordant objects.
878 // Organize tables so that the pages-table is always processed first. This is required if you want to make sure that content pointing to a new page will be created.
880 // Set pages first.
934 // A pid must be set for new records.
948 // Trying to find the correct numerical value as it should be mapped by earlier processing of another new record.
987 // Now, check if we may insert records on this pid.
989 // Checks if records can be inserted on this $pid.
1049 // Versioning is required and it must be offline version!
1064 // Default is to create a version of the individual records... element versioning that is.
1103 // Here the "pid" is set IF NOT the old pid was a string pointing to a place in the subst-id array.
1117 // NOTICE! All manipulation beyond this point bypasses both "excludeFields" AND possible "MM" relations / file uploads to field!
1119 // NOTICE: This overriding is potentially dangerous; permissions per field is not checked!!!
1159 // Kasper: Unsetting the fieldArray is dangerous; MM relations might be saved already and files could have been uploaded that are now "lost"
1167 // Setting workspace - only so display of place holders can filter out those from other workspaces.
1180 // When inserted, $this->substNEWwithIDs[$id] will be changed to the uid of THIS version and so the interface will pick it up just nice!
1198 // but you can easily translate it to the real uid of the inserted record using the $this->substNEWwithIDs array.
1210 // Note: When this hook gets called, all operations on the submitted data have been finished.
1272 * $this->exclude_array is used to filter fields if needed.
1278 * @param int $realPid The real PID value of the record. For updates, this is just the pid of the record. For new records this is the PID of the page where it is inserted.
1292 // IF $incomingFieldArray is an array, overlay it.
1298 // We must use the current values as basis for this!
1300 // This is done to make the pid positive for offline versions; Necessary to have diff-view for pages_language_overlay in workspaces.
1312 // - Are the user allowed to change the field?
1319 // The field must be editable.
1376 // t3ver_label is not here because it CAN be edited as a regular field!
1390 // If autoversioning is happening we need to perform a nasty hack. The case is parallel to a similar hack inside checkValue_group_select_file().
1391 // When a copy or version is made of a record, a search is made for any RTEmagic* images in fields having the "images" soft reference parser applied.
1392 // That should be TRUE for RTE fields. If any are found they are duplicated to new names and the file reference in the bodytext is updated accordingly.
1393 // However, with auto-versioning the submitted content of the field will just overwrite the corrected values. This leaves a) lost RTEmagic files and b) creates a double reference to the old files.
1394 // The only solution I can come up with is detecting when auto versioning happens, then see if any RTEmagic images was copied and if so make a stupid string-replace of the content !
1451 * Evaluates a value according to $table/$field settings.
1452 * This function is for real database fields - NOT FlexForm "pseudo" fields.
1457 * @param string $value Value to be evaluated. Notice, this is the INPUT value from the form. The original value (from any existing record) must be manually looked up inside the function if needed - or taken from $currentRecord array.
1460 * @param int $realPid The real PID value of the record. For updates, this is just the pid of the record. For new records this is the PID of the page where it is inserted. If $realPid is -1 it means that a new version of the record is being inserted.
1501 * Can be called for FlexForm pseudo fields as well, BUT must not have $field set if so.
1503 * @param array $res The result array. The processed value (if any!) is set in the "value" key.
1504 * @param string $value The value to set.
1510 * @param int $realPid The real PID value of the record. For updates, this is just the pid of the record. For new records this is the PID of the page where it is inserted. If $realPid is -1 it means that a new version of the record is being inserted.
1512 * @param string $field Field name. Must NOT be set if the call is for a flexform field (since flexforms are not allowed within flexforms).
1516 * @return array Returns the evaluated $value as key "value" in this array.
1553 // FlexForms are only allowed for real fields.
1565 * Evaluate "text" type values.
1567 * @param array $res The result array. The processed value (if any!) is set in the "value" key.
1568 * @param string $value The value to set.
1581 * Evaluate "input" type values.
1583 * @param array $res The result array. The processed value (if any!) is set in the "value" key.
1584 * @param string $value The value to set.
1605 // Secures the string-length to be less than max.
1640 * Evaluates 'check' type values.
1642 * @param array $res The result array. The processed value (if any!) is set in the 'value' key.

1687 * Evaluates 'radio' type values.
1689 * @param array $res The result array. The processed value (if any!) is set in the 'value' key.
1690 * @param string $value The value to set.
1709 * Evaluates 'group' or 'select' type values.
1711 * @param array $res The result array. The processed value (if any!) is set in the 'value' key.
1712 * @param string $value The value to set.
1725 // This converts all occurencies of '{' to the byte 123 in the string - this is needed in very rare cases where filenames with special characters (like ???, umlaud etc) gets sent to the server as HTML entities instead of bytes. The error is done only by MSIE, not Mozilla and Opera.
1738 // $vv is the item key!
1746 // NOTE!!! Must check max-items of files before the later check because that check would just leave out filenames if there are too many!!
1748 // Checking for select / authMode, removing elements from $valueArray if any of them is not allowed!
1756 // During the check it turns out that the value / all values were removed - we respond by simply returning an empty array so nothing is written to DB for this field.
1801 * Applies the filter methods from a column's TCA configuration to a value array.
1858 // Creating fileFunc object.
1863 // Setting permitted extensions.
1880 // Traverse the input values and convert to absolute filenames in case the update happens to an autoVersionized record.
1881 // Background: This is a horrible workaround! The problem is that when a record is auto-versionized the files of the record get copied and therefore get new names which is overridden with the names from the original record in the incoming data meaning both lost files and double-references!
1882 // The only solution I could come up with (except removing support for managing files when autoversioning) was to convert all relative files to absolute names so they are copied again (and existing files deleted). This should keep references intact but means that some files are copied, then deleted after being copied _again_.
1883 // Actually, the same problem applies to database references in case auto-versioning would include sub-records since in such a case references are remapped - and they would be overridden due to the same principle then.
1885 // We have a record 123 with a file logo.gif. We open and edit the files header in a workspace. So a new version is automatically made.
1886 // The versions uid is 456 and the file is copied to "logo_01.gif". But the form data that we sent was based on uid 123 and hence contains the filename "logo.gif" from the original.
1887 // The file management code below will do two things: First it will blindly accept "logo.gif" as a file attached to the record (thus creating a double reference) and secondly it will find that "logo_01.gif" was not in the incoming filelist and therefore should be deleted.
1888 // If we prefix the incoming file "logo.gif" with its absolute path it will be seen as a new file added. Thus it will be copied to "logo_02.gif". "logo_01.gif" will still be deleted but since the files are the same the difference is zero - only more processing and file copying for no reason. But it will work.
1897 // Finding the CURRENT files listed, either from MM or from the current record.
1899 // If MM relations for the files also!
1936 // Must be cleared. Else a faulty fileref may be inserted if the below code returns an error!
1995 // the value array, otherwise unset the entry in the value array!
2007 // If MM relations for the files, we will set the relations as MM records and change the valuearray to contain a single entry with a count of the number of files!
2058 // Must be cleared. Else a faulty fileref may be inserted if the below code returns an error!
2086 // If the destination file was created, we will set the new filename in the value array, otherwise unset the entry in the value array!
2109 * Evaluates 'flex' type values.
2111 * @param array $res The result array. The processed value (if any!) is set in the 'value' key.
2112 * @param string $value The value to set.
2123 // This value is necessary for flex form processing to happen on flexform fields in page records when they are copied.
2124 // The problem is, that when copying a page, flexfrom XML comes along in the array for the new record - but since $this->checkValue_currentRecord does not have a uid or pid for that sake, the \TYPO3\CMS\Backend\Utility\BackendUtility::getFlexFormDS() function returns no good DS. For new records we do know the expected PID so therefore we send that with this special parameter. Only active when larger than zero.
2146 // Here we convert the currently submitted values BACK to an array, then merge the two and then BACK to XML again. This is needed to ensure the charsets are the same (provided that the current value was already stored IN the charset that the new value is converted to).
2185 * @param bool $addPrologue If set, the XML prologue is returned as well.
2214 // Just one reflection here: It is clear that when removing elements from a flexform, then we will get lost files unless we act on this delete operation by traversing and deleting files that were referred to.
2230 * Evaluates 'inline' type values.
2233 * @param array $res The result array. The processed value (if any!) is set in the 'value' key.
2234 * @param string $value The value to set.
2253 // We need to decide whether we use the stack or can save the relation directly.
2272 * Checks if a fields has more items than defined via TCA in maxitems.
2273 * If there are more items than allowd, the item list is truncated to the defined number.
2282 // NOTE to the comment: It's not really possible to check for too few items, because you must then determine first, if the field is actual used regarding the CType.
2302 * Helper functions for evaluation functions.
2310 * @param string $value Value string.
2313 * @return string Modified value (if not-unique). Will be the value appended with a number (until 100, then the function just breaks).
2331 // For as long as records with the test-value existing, try again (with incremented numbers appended).
2354 * @param string $value Value string.
2372 * @param array $evalArray Array of evaluations to traverse.
2407 * @param array $evalArray Array of evaluations to traverse.
2592 // Here we should see if 1) the records exist anymore, 2) which are new and check if the BE_USER has read-access to the new ones.
2599 * @param string $value Input string, comma separated values. For each part it will also be detected if a '|' is found and the first part will then be used if that is the case. Further the value will be rawurldecoded.
2600 * @return array The value array.
2613 * Starts the processing the input data for flexforms. This will traverse all sheets / languages and for each it will traverse the sub-structure.
2614 * See checkValue_flex_procInData_travDS() for more details.
2620 * @param array $dataStructArray Data structure for the form (might be sheets or not). Only values in the data array which has a configuration in the data structure will be processed.
2622 * @param string $callBackFunc Optional call back function, see checkValue_flex_procInData_travDS() DEPRICATED, use \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Configuration\FlexForm\FlexFormTools instead for traversal!
2623 * @return array The modified 'data' part.
2642 * When it finds a field with a value the processing is done by ->checkValue_SW() by default but if a call back function name is given that method in this class will be called for the processing instead.
2644 * @param array $dataValues New values (those being processed): Multidimensional Data array for sheet/language, passed by reference!
2649 * @param string $callBackFunc Call back function, default is checkValue_SW(). If $this->callBackObj is set to an object, the callback function in that object is called instead.
2672 // The fact that the order changes is not important since order is controlled by a separately submitted index.

My name is Senior Chief Keith Kucera, Officer in Charge of the Coast Guard Cutter FLYINGFISH. We come together this morning to open a new and exciting chapter between the FLYINGFISH and Nahant. The suggestion of this relationship dates back to 2009, when my friend and prior skipper of FLYINGFISH, Master Chief Mark Cutter, helped plant the seeds to a now flourishing relationship between a "small crew and a small town". Mr. Bob Cusack, Dory Club Commodore and Coast Guard Master Chief (retired) Maurice Poulin have been at the forefront in this endeavor and I truly appreciate all of their efforts.
First, a bit about the cutter and her crew. The FLYINGFISH was commissioned in 2002, built in Bollinger Ship Yard, Lockport, LA. FLYINGFISH and her 11 man crew are home ported in Boston, MA. Our area of responsibility covers all waters seaward from the northern point of Maine to Sandy Hook, New Jersey, out 300 nautical miles. Our missions include, but are not limited to: Maritime Law Enforcement, Federal Fisheries protection and enforcement, Ports Waterways and Coastal Security, Environmental Protection, Recreational Boating Safety, National Defense, and Search and Rescue. We stand ready to answer these calls in a moment's notice because every minute counts!
Next, I would like to address the proposed adoption. A question has been asked, "What does it mean to adopt a ship?" The term itself implies a commitment of continuing support. That support should not be taken in a monetary context at all. It should be seen as an opportunity to proudly display a sense of patriotism, community, and strength of spirit this town has been known for. It also sets the stage for a re-birth of relations between the Coast Guard and this community. The Nahant Lifesaving Station was built over 110 years ago, and still stands as a historical landmark today. The station was erected in response to the loss of eight souls in the wreck of the three-masted coal schooner CHARLES BRIGGS, on Short Beach in 1898. Its construction was "one of a kind" as it was able to launch surf boats in two directions. Back then, these lifesavers or "surfmen" lived in your community, their children attended your schools, and they provided community services to a town they loved so much. Our intention is to pay homage to those brave lifesavers with our commitment to you. We would like to offer our time in areas such as: The Partners in Education program at your local elementary school, participate in community education outreach programs, provide community service to local veterans and/or any residents in need, and learn from the rich history your town has in the military and maritime community.
In short, this relationship or commitment has no monetary value to speak of. BUT, it does focus upon a set of values which, in my book, are better than anything money can buy; our Coast Guard values of Honor, Respect, and Devotion to Duty.
Year- round residents were only allowed to participate in occasional "open" races held by this exclusive, albeit spartan, club. Nevertheless, the results record the successes of "Townies" such as Joseph Gosselin, the town barber, who was the able skipper of a fast boat called "Close Shave".

Antibiotic prescribing for acute respiratory infections in New York City: A model for collaboration
Joan Guzik, Gopi Patel, Pooja Kothari, Misha Sharp, Belinda Ostrowsky, the UHF Outpatient ASP Collaborative Team
To assess the status of antibiotic prescribing in the ambulatory setting for adult patients with acute respiratory infections (ARIs) and to identify opportunities and barriers for outpatient antibiotic stewardship programs (ASPs).
Mixed methods including point prevalence using chart reviews, surveys, and collaborative learning.
Hospital-owned clinics in the New York City area.
Participants/Patients
In total, 31 hospital-owned clinics from 9 hospitals and health systems participated in the study to assess ARI prescribing practices for patients >18 years old.
Each clinic performed a survey of current stewardship practices, retrospective chart reviews of prescribing in 30 randomly selected ARI patients from October 2015 to March 2016, and surveys of provider characteristics and knowledge. Clinics participated in collaborative learning with peers and experts in antibiotic stewardship and collected data from June 2016 to August 2016. Sites received data reports by individual clinic, aggregated by hospital, and were compared among participating clinics.
Few sites had outpatient stewardship activities. The retrospective review of 1,004 ARI patients revealed that 37.3% of ARI patients received antibiotics, with significant variation in prescribing practices among sites (17.4%–71.0%; P<.001). Macrolides were the most commonly prescribed antibiotics. Most of the 302 respondents recognized the need for tools to assist in prescribing.
This collaborative study establishes a baseline assessment of the status of outpatient ASPs in New York City. It provides hospitals, health systems, and individual clinics with specific data to inform their development of stewardship interventions targeting ARIs.

Journal: Infection Control & Hospital Epidemiology / Volume 35 / Issue 1 / January 2014
Active surveillance to identify asymptomatic carriers of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) is a recommended strategy for CRE control in healthcare facilities. Active surveillance using stool specimens tested for Clostridium difficile is a relatively low-cost strategy to detect CRE carriers. Further evaluation of this and other risk factor-based active surveillance strategies is warranted.

Journal: Infection Control & Hospital Epidemiology / Volume 34 / Issue 8 / August 2013
To describe the epidemiology of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) carriage and acquisition among hospitalized patients in an area of CRE endemicity.
Cohort study with a nested case-control study.
Setting.
Two acute care, academic hospitals in New York City.
All patients admitted to 7 study units, including intensive care, medical-surgical, and acute rehabilitation units.
Perianal samples were collected from patients at admission and weekly thereafter to detect asymptomatic gastrointestinal carriage of CRE. A nested case-control study was performed to identify factors associated with CRE acquisition. Case patients were those who acquired CRE during a single hospitalization. Control subjects had no microbiologic evidence of CRE and at least 1 negative surveillance sample. Clinical data were abstracted from the medical record.
The prevalence of CRE in the study population was 5.4% (306 of 5,676 patients), and 104 patients met the case definition of acquisition during a single hospital stay. Mechanical ventilation (odds ratio [OR], 11.5), pulmonary disease (OR, 5.2), days of antibiotic therapy (OR, 1.04), and CRE colonization pressure (OR, 1.15) were independently associated with CRE acquisition. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis analysis identified 87% of tested Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates as sharing related patterns (greater than 78% similarity), which suggests clonal transmission within and between the study hospitals.
Critical illness and underlying medical conditions, CRE colonization pressure, and antimicrobial exposure are important risk factors for CRE acquisition. Adherence to infection control practices and antimicrobial stewardship appear to be critical components of a CRE control program.
Clinical and Molecular Epidemiology of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus among Patients in an Ambulatory Hemodialysis Center

Journal: Infection Control & Hospital Epidemiology / Volume 32 / Issue 9 / September 2011
To describe the epidemiology of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) carriage and transmission in an ambulatory hemodialysis population.
Prospective cohort study.
Outpatient hemodialysis facility affiliated with a large academic medical center.
Of the 170 facility patients, 103 (61%) participated in the study.
Swab specimens of the nares, axillae, and vascular access site were collected from participants weekly for 3 weeks and then monthly for 5 months. Demographic and clinical data were collected monthly for 12 months. Molecular analysis of MRSA isolates was performed.
The baseline MRSA carriage prevalence was 12%. Factors associated with MRSA carriage included a history of MRSA; failed renal transplantation; hospital admission within 6 months; and receipt of a first-generation cephalosporin, cefepime, or vancomycin. Six subjects acquired MRSA after enrollment (incidence, 1.2 per 100 patient-months at-risk; overall prevalence, 18%). Molecular analysis suggested that transmission occurred within the facility. The incidence of MRSA infection among carriers was 1.76 per 100 patient-months. Community-associated strains (ie, USA300) were isolated from 28% of carriers and at least 25% of infections.
The prevalence of MRSA carriage and the incidence of infection among carriers were high among ambulatory hemodialysis patients, and community-associated MRSA was responsible for a large portion of the MRSA burden. A relatively high rate of MRSA acquisition was observed, with indirect evidence of intrafacility transmission. Additional studies are needed to confirm these findings and to identify effective and feasible methods to prevent MRSA transmission and infection among hemodialysis patients.
Outcomes of Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae Infection and the Impact of Antimicrobial and Adjunctive Therapies

Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae is an emerging healthcare-associated pathogen.
To describe the epidemiology of and clinical outcomes associated with carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae infection and to identify risk factors associated with mortality among patients with this type of infection.
Mount Sinai Hospital, a 1,171-bed tertiary care teaching hospital in New York City.
Two matched case-control studies.
In the first matched case-control study, case patients with carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae infection were compared with control patients with carbapenem-susceptible K. pneumoniae infection. In the second case-control study, patients who survived carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae infection were compared with those who did not survive, to identify risk factors associated with mortality among patients with carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae infection.
There were 99 case patients and 99 control patients identified. Carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae infection was independently associated with recent organ or stem-cell transplantation (P = .008), receipt of mechanical ventilation (P = .04), longer length of stay before infection (P = .01), and exposure to cephalosporins (P = .02) and carbapenems (P < .001). Case patients were more likely than control patients to die during hospitalization (48% vs 20%; P < .001) and to die from infection (38% vs 12%; P < .001). Removal of the focus of infection (ie, debridement) was independently associated with patient survival (P = .002). The timely administration of antibiotics with in vitro activity against carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae was not associated with patient survival.
Carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae infection is associated with numerous healthcare-related risk factors and with high mortality. The mortality rate associated with carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae infection and the limited antimicrobial options for treatment of carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae infection highlight the need for improved detection of carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae infection, identification of effective preventive measures, and development of novel agents with reliable clinical efficacy against carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae.


It's been one year since our last list of digital predictions (which by the way, we got right!) and yet we've got plenty more exciting expectations for 2018 – it's hardly surprising – we all know the digital world moves quickly.
Take a look at what we think will be the graphic design, SEO, social media, AdWords and web design trends for 2018.
So, everyone decided to skip skeuomorphism in favour of flat and minimal design, but things have to progress and the only way is up, so depth is coming back in!
Expect large soft shadows behind User Interface (UI) elements, gradients and subtle lighting effects. Google material design is spearheading this as they try to bring unity to their product range and compete with Apple's user experience.
We already believe (and so should you) that marketing yourself authentically and truthfully is always critical, but is it time to step it up in your website photography?
In 2018 we're expecting to see a fall in cheesy, conceptual graphics.
Real images will make a breakthrough this year, but if you want our top tips – they still need to be well done – high resolution images to convey high values.
Video has been on the rise, according to Forbes half a billion people are watching video on Facebook everyday. We're not expecting those numbers to drop! Entice your audience with video this year – remember to add those all-important captions to increase your viewings – those who are watching from their office desks don't always have the luxury of sound.
How quickly can your customer order a product and see it at their door? You've probably heard of Amazon's Prime Air – a delivery service using drones that allows customers to receive their package within 30 minutes or less!
Alibaba may have taken the record in 2017 with their rapid delivery of 12 minutes and 18 seconds – from order, packaging and delivery.
Expect events to become bigger and bigger in 2018 - there's even been talk of a dedicated events app that people can download.
You've heard of image recognition, ASOS image recognition allows you to take a picture of a piece of clothing and find it online using their app.
We think Twitter might step up their image recognition game with triggered ads activated by taking a photo of a billboard then tweeting it.
Digital display screens are popping up everywhere now – in shop windows and outside. Have you considered the possibility of animated adverts?
We're expecting a see another avenue to advertise to your customers using Whatsapp and Facebook Messenger.
People are already engaging with businesses' via Whatsapp and we think that sponsored ads could be the next step. It's already happening in China with their version of Whatsapp. WeChat allows users to send e-newsletters via their mobile devices.
Voice search will continue to grow, changing the average length of search queries and making question-based content more important than ever. Voice search is quicker and more accurate than typing now on a smartphone.
There's still a reluctance to use voice search at the risk of looking stupid, but we think devices like Amazon Echo are going to help people break the taboo.
We started telling you about AMP back in August – this year it's going to become more common.
Structured data and rich snippits will become more popular - structured data allows you to categorise your page - giving Google more information about the page information and context.
Google will finally launch the new AdWords user interface that's currently in Beta, forcing everyone to use it. If you're still using the old one, it might be time to start familiarising yourself with the new one.
Google's brand-new ad format will be arriving next year. Similar to shopping ads, showcase shopping ads will appear for broad and commercial searches (such as "evening dresses") alongside normal product shopping ads. The difference you will see is the showcase ads allows the user to click on the ad which then expands to a catalog of relevant products. The first click is free and you will only pay if someone clicks through a product on the expanded catalog and arrives on your website. It will be interesting to see how cost effective they will be compared to regular shopping ads.
AdWords will include a 'days to conversion' metric, meaning you'll be able to see how long an ad took to get to a conversion.

Were Neanderthals Europe's First Cave Artists?

A series of cave paintings in Spain are thousands of years older than scientists realized, raising speculation — but no proof — that Neanderthals could have been the earliest wall artists in Europe.
The oldest image, a large red disk on the wall of El Castillo cave in northern Spain, is more than 40,800 years old, according to an advanced method that uses natural deposits on the surfaces of the paintings to date their creation. The new findings, detailed in the June 15 issue of the journal Science, make the paintings the oldest reliably dated wall paintings ever.
They also push the art back into a time when early modern humans, who looked anatomically like us, co-existed with their Neanderthal cousins in Europe. Some researchers think the paintings may predate European Homo sapiens, suggesting that the art may not be the work of modern humans at all.
"It would not be surprising if the Neanderthals were indeed Europe's first cave artists," said study researcher Joao Zilhao, a professor at the Institució Catalana de Recerca i Estudis Avançats (ICREA) at the University of Barcelona. [See Photos of the Ancient Cave Art]
Our cultured ancestors
Neanderthals have been portrayed as brutish, animalistic cavemen, but the archaeological evidence suggests they weren't dummies. They buried their dead, made complex tools, and used decorative pigments. In 2010, Zilhao and his colleagues excavated shells coated in red and yellow pigments from a Neanderthal site in southern Spain. They suspect the pigments were used as makeup or body paint.
Neanderthals went extinct around 30,000 years ago. Before they did, they mixed and mingled with humans. Between 1 percent and 4 percent of some modern humans' DNA came from Neanderthals, indicating the two species got amorous.
Modern humans arrived on the European scene between about 41,000 and 42,000 years ago. Some of the earliest archaeological evidence of their existence shows them to be a sophisticated bunch, too. At one site in Germany with the particularly early date of between 42,000 to 43,000 years ago, archaeologists recently unearthed flutes made of bird bones and mammoth ivory, the oldest musical instruments in Europe. [10 Mysteries of the First Humans]
But the age of cave paintings has been tougher for archaeologists to pin down. Their usual method of radiocarbon dating requires organic material, and most mineral pigments contain none. With very old samples, radiocarbon dating is also prone to contamination.
A new look at old art
Zilhao and his colleagues turned to a different method: uranium-thorium dating. As anyone who has seen a stalactite knows, caves are always undergoing slow change. The same processes that create stalactites and stalagmites leave thin deposits of the mineral calcite over some cave paintings. This calcite contains miniscule amounts of radioactive uranium, which decays to thorium over time.
The researches painstakingly scraped these natural calcite deposits off the top of the paintings, stopping just before they reached the pigment. Then, using a device called a mass spectrometer, they took rice-grain-size samples of this calcite and counted the uranium and thorium atoms. The ratio between the two determines the date of the calcite formation, since the decay happens at a known rate.
Because the calcite came after the paintings, this sets a minimum age for the art. What researchers don't know is how long the initial calcite deposit took, so the paintings could be anywhere from hundreds to thousands of years older than the minimum dates.
The researchers took samples from 11 Spanish caves, including famed spots like Altamira with its painted herds of bison. At Altamira, they found an image of a red horse that dates back at least 22,000 years and a clublike image that is at least 35,600 years old. The club symbol has been painted over with the famous colorful bison herd, which dates to around 18,000 years ago. In other words, Altamira was a popular spot for artists for a very long time. [Images: Altamira & Other Amazing Caves]
At another cave, El Castillo in northern Spain, the researchers found primitive art of mind-boggling age. This cave contained the 40,800-year-old red disk. It also sported a hand stencil, created by an artist spitting red pigment over his or her hand to leave a handprint, that dates back more than 37,300 years.
"We simply did not have any dates this old before," Zilhao said. "Even if this is made by modern humans, we are pushing the age of this stuff by 5,000 years."
The previous oldest-known rock art in Europe was not a painting, but etchings of likely female genitalia symbols made about 37,000 years ago in France.
Human or Neanderthal?
But whose handprints are on the decorated cave walls? According to Zilhao, a minimum date of about 40,800 years ago for the calcite over the red disk suggests a painting that is even older.
"It is enough that the motif is painted just a few hundred years, just a thousand years, before this minimum age to place it in a time period where there were no modern humans in Europe," he said.
Paul Bahn, a British archaeologist not involved in the study, agreed that the dates are convincing.
"Certainly for the El Castillo dates, I think there is no question at all," Bahn told LiveScience. "It has to be Neanderthals."
Other researchers aren't as sure. The cave art falls into an era of overlap between humans and Neanderthals in Europe, said Chris Stringer, the research leader in human origins at the Natural History Museum in London. Early modern human fossils and artifacts have been found in Britain as early as 41,000 years ago, and at the German musical instrument site as much as 43,000 years ago, Stringer, who wasn't involved in the current study, told LiveScience. That means the cave art isn't necessarily from a pre-human era.
"Modern humans are still the most likely candidates for this," he said.
The uranium-thorium dating method that sparked this debate is likely the method that will settle it. The team sampled only a tiny percentage of cave paintings, said study leader Alistair Pike, an archaeologist at the University of Bristol in the United Kingdom. There are many more caves awaiting accurate dating.
"I think it's fairly a straightforward thing to prove if they were painted by Neanderthals," Pike said. "All we have to do is go back and date more of these samples and find a date that predates the arrival of modern humans in Europe."

I don't know about other parts of the country, but oh my has New England been getting hit hard with the cold temperatures lately! For a while it seemed that we might luck out with a mild season, but mother nature thinks otherwise, and it appears winter (& the cold) are here to stay.
For those of us that don't live in places with wonderful, warm winters (quite jealous), I wanted to share some of my cold weather favorites that make winter a little more bearable! Braving the elements, while staying warm and looking good is a win-win if you ask me. Enjoy & stay warm out there!
J.Crew can really do no wrong when it comes to just about everything, and as always they deliver with their outerwear and cold-weather accessories. Being petite, I always used to worry that long puffer coats would just eat me up, but the J.Crew wintress puffer coat keeps me warm without making me feel like a huge marshmallow. My coat is from a couple seasons ago and doesn't have the faux-fur lined hood, but I love that added detail. Throw it on with this ribbed pom-pom hat, and these adorable rainbow speckled mittens and you're almost good to go! Add a pretty plaid scarf to complete the look. Thank you, thank you J.Crew!
If I could pick an outfit to live in throughout the entire winter season it would easily be either this fleece pullover or this 1/4 zip fleece, with a quilted puffer vest, and L.L.Bean Wicked Good Moccasins. All are crazy warm and comfortable, but you don't feel like you are compromising on style either. I am not lying when I tell you I wear my moccasins all the time when I am home! There's a reason they call them 'Wicked Good'..
Footwear can be a bit tricky in the winter when snow is involved, and when wearing ballet flats is just a no-go. It seems that boots are the only option, but on the plus side there are so many to choose from and you don't have to worry about your toes freezing off! My go-to for the snow is my Hunter rain boots. They are great all year round, but in the winter I throw in some boot socks for added warmth. Bean boots seem to be all the rage, and I am working on becoming a proud owner myself. I hear they sell out fast - so get them early in the season!


After teasing the announcement last week, Seven Lions and Tritonal have announced their North American 'Horizon' Tour with special guest Kill The Noise.
The three established acts will hit one of the biggest tour circuits of the year, traveling across the continent for 20 different tour dates. The 'Horizon' North American tour will kick off in late October with stops in major cities, including Los Angeles, Toronto, Las Vegas, and more.
Seven Lions is hot off the release of his Where I Won't Be Found EP and a sold-out Red Rocks gig with Above & Beyond. The Horizon tour comes at a perfect time for fans who are still buzzing from the Santa Barbara native's EP. Tritonal, comprised of Chad Cisneros and David Reed, are among the top 400 most consumed artists on Spotify globally. The chart-topping duo embarked across North America on their Untouchable and Painting with Dreams tours last year, and are back to take on the continent once more.
Veteran DJ and dubstep pioneer Kill The Noise makes for an exciting addition to the Horizon tour. Currently in the midst of his Killuminati tour, he will continue to deliver for his bass-friendly fanbase as a special guest on the forthcoming tour. Kill The Noise also just announced the return of his Kill The Zo, his collaborative project with Mat Zo, which he will hopefully make light of on the Horizon tour.
Tickets go on sale August 18 at 10 a.m. local time at www.horizontour.org.

Luke Greiner recorded his first career hat trick against BU Monday evening (Gil Talbot).
BOSTON, Mass. – The Harvard men's hockey team seniors erupted for six goals—three by Luke Greiner—as the Crimson rallied to knock off No. 11/13 Boston University, 7-4, Monday afternoon in the Beanpot consolation game at TD Garden.
The Crimson fell behind by scores of 2-0 and 3-2 but battled back behind four consecutive goals from members of the Class of 2013 in the second and third periods to defeat the Terriers twice in a season for the first time since 1979-80.
Greiner recorded his first career hat trick in his final Beanpot game, and classmate Marshall Everson tallied two goals to pace the Harvard offense. Captain Danny Biega, who had one assist, and Dan Ford scored to erase a two-goal, first-period deficit. Kyle Criscuolo added two helpers.
The Terriers struck quickly, getting on the board with 16:48 and 8:15 left in the first to take a 2-0 lead, but the Crimson answered shortly thereafter to swing the momentum in its favor.
Just moments after a power play expired and 79 seconds after BU's second goal, Harvard found the back of the net, as Criscuolo picked up the puck behind the cage and sent a backhand off the front of Sean Maguire's pads. Ford skated across the face of the crease, picked up the rebound and flicked it into the upper left corner of the net.
Harvard knotted things up in the waning moments of the period on Biega's second goal of the tournament. The senior captain recovered from getting checked into the nearside boards and kept a BU clear attempt in the zone. After gathering himself and the puck, the Montreal native fired a shot over Maguire's glove to make it 2-2 with 14.2 seconds left.
As the first period ended, Harvard was whistled for its fourth penalty of the game, and the Terriers capitalized after the intermission on an Evan Rodrigues slap shot.
Harvard drew even just over a minute later. Criscuolo scooped up the puck behind the net and feed it to Everson camped in the slot. The senior sent it into the top right corner of the net with 3:19 gone by for his second goal in as many days.
Harvard then took its first lead of the game at the 1:13 later on a similar play. Greiner crashed the slot, and Morrison, who was patiently waiting behind the net, dished the puck straight to Greiner, who sent it into the same spot that Everson scored from for a 4-3 advantage.
After going up by one, the Crimson killed off back-to-back penalties to maintain the advantage with Traber making an impressive glove save to keep the Terriers off the board during the four-minute span.
While the Terriers failed to capitalize on their man-up situations, Harvard made the Terriers pay after going back on the power play. Brian Hart blasted a feed from Biega that careened off Maguire's pads to Greiner's stick in front of the crease. He sent the puck high and to the glove side to push the lead to two.
The Crimson pushed across its sixth goal on another rebound, just moments after another BU penalty ended. After a cross-ice, backhand feed from Colin Blackwell, Fallstrom rocketed a one-timer that Maguire could not corral and that Everson cleaned up with his second tally of the game.
BU threatened in the remaining 17 minutes but only struck once, a power-play tally with 8:36 remaining, as Traber continued to turn away BU shots and finished with a career-high 43 saves.
The Terriers attempted to mount one last rally, pulling Maguire with 1:04 remaining. Greiner took advantage and completed his hat trick with only 8.6 seconds remaining. He stole the puck in the BU zone and flicked it into the empty net for a short-handed goal to give Harvard its first seven-goal game since Nov. 22, 2011, when the Crimson rallied to defeat New Hampshire, 7-6.
Harvard jumps back into ECAC play Friday night at Bright Hockey Center against Colgate at 7 p.m in a game televised on WBIN-TV.

Veterans Larry Drew II, Travis Wear help lead UCLA past Arizona State
There wasn't much suspense in regards to what Arizona State needed to do in Las Vegas this weekend if they were to earn a spot in the NCAA tournament.
With their non-conference strength of schedule (ranked 298th) and sluggish finish (four-game losing streak entering the Pac-12 tournament) the Sun Devils needed to grab the Pac-12's automatic bid if they were to go dancing.
With some help from Pac-12 Co-Freshman of the Year Shabazz Muhammad, UCLA ended the Sun Devils' NCAA hopes due in large part to the play of veterans Larry Drew II and Travis Wear.
Wear's jumper with 11.3 seconds remaining sealed the 80-75 victory for the Pac-12 regular season champions, who advance to take on either Colorado or Arizona in the semifinals on Friday night.
Jordan Bachynski, who established a new Pac-12 record for blocked shots in a season, led Arizona State (21-11) with 22 points and Jahii Carson added 21, seven assists and six rebounds.
Drew II was key throughout for UCLA (24-8), as his 20 points on 8-of-10 shooting (and four assists) kept the Bruins afloat during a stretch early in the second half in which Arizona State led by as many as 15 points and threatened to put the game away.
The performance was simply the latest step in the North Carolina transfer's progression, something more than a few people doubted would ever happen given the way in which he left Chapel Hill.
"I did notice looking at the stats here, we had five guys in double figures. That always pleases me," said UCLA head coach Ben Howland after the win. "When we have five guys in double figures, chances are we're going to win the game. So it was a really good balance today.
"Again, led by Larry. Larry was absolutely incredible today. He's playing really good basketball for us."
Wear added 15 points and six rebounds while Muhammad finished with 16 points and nine rebounds, and UCLA closed the game on an 8-1 run as the worn-down Sun Devils missed shots that fell down consistently over the first 30 minutes of the game.
So what does the result reveal in regards to UCLA's hopes for both this weekend in Las Vegas but also the NCAA tournament? Rebounding, an area in which the Bruins have struggled for much of the season, will be key as their 14 offensive rebounds (15 second-chance points) were another reason why UCLA was able to mount their second-half rally.
But for all the attention given to UCLA's trio of talented freshmen, veterans such as Drew II and Wear are just as important for Ben Howland's team. It wasn't smooth sailing for UCLA but they found a way to win. Survive and advance.
