There had been no confirmed deaths in the United States related to swine flu as of Tuesday afternoon. But another virus had killed thousands of people since January and is expected to keep killing hundreds of people every week for the rest of the year.

That one? The regular flu.

An outbreak of swine flu that is suspected in more than 150 deaths in Mexico and has sickened dozens of people in the United States and elsewhere has grabbed the attention of a nervous public and of medical officials worried the strain will continue to mutate and spread.

Experts are nervous that, as a new strain, the swine flu will be harder to stop because there aren't any vaccines to fight it.

But even if there are swine-flu deaths outside Mexico — and medical experts say there very well may be — the virus would have a long way to go to match the roughly 36,000 deaths that seasonal influenza causes in the United States each year.

"That happens on an annual basis," Dr. Brian Currie said Tuesday. Currie is vice president and medical director at Montefiore Medical Center in Bronx, New York.

Since January, more than 13,000 people have died of complications from seasonal flu, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's weekly report on the causes of death in the nation.

No fewer than 800 flu-related deaths were reported in any week between January 1 and April 18, the most recent week for which figures were available.

The report looks at deaths in the 122 largest cities in the United States.

Worldwide, the annual death toll from the flu is estimated to be between 250,000 and 500,000.

About 9 out of 10 of those deaths are among people older than 65, Currie said. Most times, they already have health problems that the flu makes worse, he said.

"Regular influenza can be taxing," he said. "It causes their underlying disease to decompensate and then they don't have the reserves to get through it.

"While it may not be the direct cause listed on the death certificate, it certainly contributed."

One of the reasons medical experts are nervous about the swine flu outbreak is that many of the people who have died in Mexico have been young and otherwise healthy. The strains found in the United States have so far been weaker.

But even the regular flu is sometimes fatal for younger victims.

"It's not unheard of. It happens, either directly from influenza or they get a bacterial superinfection" like staph, said Currie.

While researchers haven't developed a vaccine to fight the new swine flu, it can be treated with antiviral drugs Tamiflu and Relenza, the same drugs used on the regular flu.

Many times, seasonal flu itself is tough to prevent because it has mutated to a form different than it was when the vaccine was made.

Seeking to put the swine flu outbreak in perspective Tuesday, Los Angeles County public health officer Dr. Jonathan Fielding echoed other public officials calling it "cause for concern, but not for alarm."

"Given the size of L.A. County, given the traffic between here and Mexico, it would be very surprising if we didn't have any cases," Fielding said.

He said the county, where the CDC had confirmed 10 cases of swine flu by Tuesday, sees more than 1,000 flu-related deaths every year.

"So it would also not be surprising if there were deaths with swine flu — even if it had the pattern of seasonal flu," he said. "Thus far, the pattern we see in the United States is very similar to that of seasonal flu — relatively mild to moderate cases."

Los primeros exploradores noruegos

La costa noruega es larga y accidentada, y los fiordos se adentran mucho en el interior del país. Desde épocas lejanas, las vistas y el sonido del mar han atraído a sus habitantes. Sin embargo, el aprovechamiento de la tierra fue siempre muy escaso para ellos. Cuando labraban sus pequeñas tierras, los más jóvenes se maravillaban al alzar la vista hacia el horizonte, hacia el mar que no sólo les podría abastecer con más comida sino que también les podría llevar a tierras más ricas y a climas más cálidos.

Noruega ha tenido arriesgados exploradores en tiempos prehistóricos, pero sus historias nunca se han contado. Hasta que aparecieron las primeras historias, no hay ningún relato de sus primeros descubrimientos, e incluso después de que la gente comenzara a dejar constancia de sus viajes, hay pocas menciones de sus primeras aventuras en tierras desconocidas.

Durante la Edad Media, la Iglesia (el único poder unificador en Europa después de la caída del Imperio Romano) hizo poco para estimular el espíritu aventurero e investigador. El concepto geográfico del mundo se basaba estrictamente en la Biblia. La Iglesia desaprobaba descubrimientos que pudieran poner en tela de juicio sus creencias, o inspirar a la gente para que cuestionara antiguos dogmas. Pero en la Noruega no cristiana, la gente estaba ansiosa de descubrir nuevas tierras. Había poco que cultivar entre las montañas escarpadas y la gran cantidad de lagos y fiordos. Aunque el tráfico costero era común para ese pueblo de marineros, no fueron capaces de explorar nuevas tierras hasta que sus embarcaciones consiguieran adecuarse al mar abierto. Este problema se solventó con el desarrollo de los barcos vikingos. Estas embarcaciones con proa alta, veloces y elegantes podían navegar con remos o con velas. Además, la construcción ancha y plana del casco permitía a las tripulaciones arrastrar los barcos para desembarcar tanto en las orillas de los ríos como en la costa, haciendo posible adentrarse en el interior. Así, hacia el 800 d.C., los Vikingos se encaminaron desde sus fiordos en busca de tierras y botines y, sin duda también, de aventuras y fama. Fueron de los pocos pueblos que en el mundo medieval se aventuró fuera de su territorio.

Rue de la Banque - DAL - !!! by Hughes Léglise-Bataille

On black

Depuis le 3 Octobre, plus de 200 familles dorment dans la rue de la Banque pour protester contre l'absence de logements décents. Français ou immigrés en situation régulière, tous travaillent mais vivent dans des conditions déplorables: le plus souvent à l'hôtel, ou dans des appartements minuscules, parfois menacés d'expulsion.

Le 14 Décembre, le campement de la rue de la Banque a pris fin: un accord a été signé avec le Ministère pour reloger, sous différentes modalités et délais, l'ensemble des familles. Après l'annonce officielle par Jean-Baptiste Eyraud, président du DAL, une fête a été organisée rue de la Banque, en présence de Emmanuelle Béart, Josiane Balasko, Guy Bedos et le maire du 2e. Vers 20h, l'ensemble du campement (bâches, matels, etc.) a été démonté, dans la joie et le soulagement des familles, et aussi un peu de tristesse à se séparer.

Ecocentro Danaus Reserve by DAngelo michael alan

Ecocentro Danaus (<-- video) is located a couple miles east of La Fortuna Costa Rica. It's a fairly small reserve, 600 meters of walking trails, but boy, do they pack a LOT in such a small area. Danaus was created about 13 years ago when some forward thinking people decided it might be better to grow life than cut it down. Danaus is like a mini oasis since it's completely surrounded by pasture and cattle land. Here's what Ecocentro Danaus says about itself: 'Ecocentro Danaus is an ecological reserve that preserves a natural regenerating secondary forest. Many different biological processes take place here and there is a great biodiversity of flora and fauna in its natural state.'Danaus is worth a look if your in the La Fortuna area and you need something to do for a couple hours.

Adelaid Hills- A Stirling Autumn by a777thunder (Thanks for your support)

Stirling

Beautiful village in the Adelaide Hills

Located only 18 km from Adelaide via the South Eastern Freeway, Stirling is a village and district of extraordinary charm. In many ways it captures the essence of the Adelaide Hills. Being quite unlike the typical Australian town it is middle class in temper, European in vegetation, and Mediterranean in its ambience.

The township came into existence as a very conscious act of real estate selling. In 1854 Peter Prankerd, a close friend of the South Australian politician, Edward Stirling, laid out the town (he named it after his friend) and on 27 February, 1854 the firm of Samson, Wicksteed & Co auctioned the lots with the advertisement that the area 'approximated to the spring temperature of our native land'.

At the time Stirling had natural advantages as the area around it was ideal for market gardening and orchards and the route running through the village was the main road through the Adelaide Hills.

Today Stirling is by-passed by the South Eastern Freeway. Consequently it has been left as a delightful, elegant small village in the hills

The Reed's Santa Fe House on Don Gaspar back in 1937 by Marti Reed

View On Black

My dad moved with his mom and new stepfather to Santa Fe in 1933, when he was nine. Eventually they moved into this house, on Don Gaspar, about a mile south of the Capital. At the time, it was the southernmost house in Santa Fe. According to him, he could see all the way to Albuquerque.

My dad was lucky~

My grandfather didn't believe in owning things, especially real estate. So he never bought this house, and, eventually the Reeds didn't live there, anymore.

The house is still there. The last time I drove by, about four years ago, it was the least fixed-up house in what is probably a multi-million dollar neighborhood. I always wanted to get it back, but not so much, anymore. Still, something in me really loves this house. It's a beautiful house.

Scanned from one of many old tiny but exquisite black and white photos that somebody in my family took. I'm slowly contemplating the idea of rescanning this photo at a higher resolution and digitally editing it very carefully, something I didn't do when I did these the first time.

Today (Monday, November 30, 2009), is the second anniversay of my dad's passing. I decided to honor him a litte bit over the next few months by fixing up and sharing some photos of his extremely interesting life.

A family of Francois' Langurs high up in the trees on the Malayan tapir island in the Lied Jungle, the world's largest indoor rainforest and a "total immersion experience" at Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo. I love how this rare species sport wild mohawks.

And it is a rare species. According to a wikipedia:

There has been a dramatic decline in the population size by approximately 85% since [1990], making this species that of very high priority to potential extinction. The total number of wild individuals is unknown, but there are believed to be less than 500 left in Vietnam and 1,400-1,650 in China. There are only about 60 langurs in captivity in North American zoos.

And wikipedia further informs us that the baby's name is GinLu and:

she was was born in the Lied Jungle at Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo [in September 2009]. After being rejected by her mother, Lied Jungle keepers worked for several weeks to teach the mother to feed and care for her properly. It was important to have a special holding area for mother and infant for safety, ensuring the family was within sight and smell at all times. Mother and infant needed to be strongly bonded before placing the group together. By October 13, 2009, the entire group was reunited into one holding area.

As wikipedia notes, Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo is "nationally renowned for its leadership in animal conservation and research." And from the zoo's website:

The major purpose of the Lied Jungle is not only recreation, but education and conservation awareness. Rainforests play a vital role in the quality of life on earth. They are disappearing at the alarming rate of 50-100 acres a minute. That's an area the size of Massachusetts each year.

I found this shrug to make this for my DD. I think it is really cute. Also super simple. I picked it so that I might be able to get some knitting in under the table at my work conference. Since this is a very simple pattern, it fits the bill.

I will concur with the majority of people here who think this sweater is kinda small for an adult. I know my gauge was tighter as I went down a needle size. I got 17 sts per inch. However, even if I got gauge, I really think the pattern would only fit a petite adult. However, it worked perfectly for me as I made a kid sweater.

I used moss stitch for the edges. I think it will be a bit more sturdy than the ribbing and cuter.

I made a little ruffle on the bottom edge and the sleeve cuffs. I took it from Ruffled Moss Stitch Scarf. It looks adorable.

I decided to make full sleeves. I picked up 4 sts along the bottom opening. I decreased every 3 rows until I got down to 20 sts. It helped to pull in the sleeves so they fit well. With the stretch to it, it can fit well but not be too snug.

I only needed to break into the second skein for the ruffles at the cuffs. If I had just bound off the edges as the pattern suggested, it would have been well within the skein.

I have enough yarn remaining. I am hoping to make a matching shrug for the American Girl sized 18” doll she is getting from Santa this Christmas. I think it will be kinda sweet. And hey, the doll won’t outgrow the lovely yarn!

I love Schaefer yarns and splurged on this to make DD something. The nice thing about the pattern is that it is very loose gauge so it can stretch a lot. So I am hoping she can wear it for a few years. crosses fingers

Knitting completed 11/30. Just need to add a button. And since it is only one button, I think it will actually get done. crosses fingers

Okay. So I couldn’t find any button I liked for both the shrug for my daughter & her doll. Finally picked up cute hearts that looked good. Decide to flip the button to the side where I put the hole and actually just use an opening in the button band for the button as they are kinda small. Looks adorable.

Save Union Terminal by elycefeliz

1 1

Save Union Terminal

In August 2014 the Hamilton County Commissioners voted to put on the ballot for this November a one-quarter of one percent sales tax increase that by law is limited to five years to fund the restoration of Cincinnati Union Terminal.

The tax would generate nearly $172 million in revenue-- and when it is combined with historic tax credits, contributions from the State of Ohio, and philanthropic fundraising efforts it will allow for the complete repair and restoration of Union Terminal.

Hamilton County residents will not be the only ones paying for this. The Economics Center at the University of Cincinnati analyzed and determined that approximately 47% of the sales tax collected in Hamilton County comes from people who live outside the county, thus relieving the tax burden on local residents.

Additionally, The Cincinnati Enquirer reported that the sales tax increase would cost the average resident just $23 per year. The Hamilton County Commissioners also put in the proposal that by law this increase would end after just five years.

The successful passage of Issue 8 will allow us to preserve Union Terminal and guarantee that it will continue to be an essential part of our region's great heritage. Future generations will benefit from our investment now-- ensuring that our children, and grandchildren, are able to enjoy Union Terminal.

Decades of time, outdated construction techniques and years of freezing and thawing have taken its toll on Union Terminal. But, repairs can be made to the exterior envelope of Union Terminal to prevent water damage and to the steel structures underneath, making the building fit for a very long time into our future. Additional repairs and renovations to outdated mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems will make Union Terminal more efficient and create more opportunities for activities within the building.

There are many ways to become involved with the campaign. First and foremost is to make sure you are registered to vote by October 6 and vote 'Yes' on Election Day, November 4th.

VALE LA PENA VERLA EN GRANDE Y CON FONDO NEGRO

Son unos monumentales y espectaculares carros triunfales, que son clásicos e históricos en la Fiesta del Corpus en Valencia. Estos realizan el mismo recorrido que unas horas después hace la Procesión.

Estos carros son arrastrados por una reata de caballerías vistosamente engalanadas con vistoso aparejos, cabezales, espejos y originales pasamanerías, muy típicas de la usanza valenciana. Estos arrastres antiguamente los hacia el Gremio de Molineros, para demostrar la potencia de sus caballerías presumiendo entre ellos de la potencia de los mismos.

Estos carros monumentales son típicos y exclusivos de Valencia, saliendo solamente en la festividad del Corpus.

Las primeras noticias documentadas por diferentes investigadores, entre ellos Carboneres, indican que las calles de Valencia vieron desfilar las rocas por primera vez fue en el año 1373 con motivo de la entrada en la ciudad de Marta de Armagnac, esposa del infante don Juan, primer duque de Gerona; otros dan la fecha de 1392, en que vinieron los reyes Juan el Cazador y su esposa. También se indica que en el año 1402, durante la entrada del rey Martín el Humano. A estas en un principio también se les llamó del “entremés” por ir provistas de una escalinata para poder representar los misterios encima de ellas.

Hay la mayoría de investigadores que fijan la fecha en el año 1413, cuando la ciudad quiso agasajar al nuevo rey Fernando de Antequera, en su primera entrada en Valencia. Para obsequiarle, los jurados ordenaron la construcción de tres carros triunfales simbolizando, el uno, La divisa del Rey, el otro, Les Set Cadires, y el tercero, Les Set Edats.

El origen de la denominación de rocas, se la da el pueblo, debido a la forma de peñascos que tenían en un principio, ya que eran más altas de lo que son en la actualidad, pues en el año 1912 tuvieron que rebajarse para evitar que estas tocasen con la catenaria del tranvía. Todas ellas a lo largo de la historia han sufrido restauraciones, pero una de las más importantes se llevaron a cabo en los años 1958 y 1959 a consecuencia de la riada que sufrió Valencia en el año 1957.

Otras versiones indican que procede de cambiar la palabra CA-RRO por RRO-CA.

La antevíspera a la festividad del Corpus, se van sacando "a mano" las Rocas desde su "Casa", sita en la calle del mismo nombre, y se van colocando en las Alameditas de las Torres de Serranos y posteriormente al atardecer tiene lugar el “Traslado de los Roques", desde las Alameditas de Serranos, y a lo largo de la calle Serranos, Plaza de Manises y calle de Caballeros, se van llevando las Rocas hasta la Plaza de la Virgen donde quedarán expuestas.

En la actualidad el grupo esta formado por 11 magnificas Rocas y su antigüedad indica que cuatro de ellas pertenecen al siglo XVI, dos al XVII, dos mas al XIX, otras dos al XX y finalmente una al XXI.

En primer lugar son llevadas las Rocas Diablera y Santo Cáliz por los miembros de la Asociación Amics del Corpus, a mano.

El resto de las Rocas son tiradas por caballos. Abre cada recorrido la Guardia Municipal montada a la que siguen las Rocas o Roca, flanqueadas por “Els Amics del Corpus", en cada una de las Rocas el grupo de "Dolçainers i Tabalets" que se van repartiendo en ellas para ir así amenizando con música típica valenciana, el recorrido, al finalizar es este mismo grupo quien cierra el recorrido.

A medida que van llegando las Rocas a la Plaza de la Virgen, van siendo colocadas, manualmente, ante la fachada de la Basílica.
