 is currently being used to vaccinate members of the public health and health care communities and personnel of the Department of Defense is known to cause various adverse reactions. With the possibility of more widespread use of the vaccine looming, there is considerable interest in developing a new, safer vaccine. Richard N. Greenberg, MD, of the University of Kentucky College of Medicine, Lexington, Ky. and colleagues are evaluating reactions to a newly formulated smallpox vaccine.
"The new vaccine, known as CCSV, contains a strain of the vaccinia virus that is grown in cell culture," said Greenberg. The DryVax vaccine that is currently being used contains a similar virus and was produced by infecting cows. The new study compares skin rashes among adult volunteers administered either CCSV or DryVax.
Greenberg said, "We observed post-vaccination rashes in two of 100 DryVax recipients (2 percent) and in six of 250 CCSV recipients (2.4 percent)." The rashes appeared six to 19 days after vaccination, resolved within three to 22 days, and responded to treatment with antihistamines. The rashes varied in appearance from hundreds of small spots to larger lesions, and the location of the lesions was also variable.
"Because of the small number of volunteers in this study (350), it was not possible to determine the true incidence of rash for either CCSV or DryVax," said Greenberg.
The vaccine conference is jointly sponsored by eleven prestigious organizations: the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research of the Food and Drug Administration, the Center for Vaccine Development at the University of Maryland, the International Society for Vaccines, the International Vaccine Institute, the Merieux Foundation, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, the Netherlands Vaccine Institute, the Sabin Vaccine Institute, and the United States Department of Agriculture.
The conference is funded, in part, through unrestricted educational grants from Antigenics, Inc.; Aventis Pasteur; Baxter Healthcare; Becton, Dickinson and Company; Bioject, Inc.; Chiron Corporation; Coley Pharmaceutical Group; Dynport Vaccine Company; GlaxoSmithKline; Iomai Corporation; MedImmune; Merck Vaccine Division; Powderject Vaccines, Inc.; U.S. Food and Drug Administration; VaxGen; Vical, Incorporated; and Wyeth Vaccines.No it doesn't. It just makes it sound like you're doing this because that's what YOU want. There are 4,200 subscribers to this sub, why not ask them if they want percussion in their sub? It seems to me that even in this very thread, you aren't getting much support. 

The fact of the matter is this: percussion is as much a part of bluegrass as any other instrument. The mando and bass are literally emulating a drumset most of the time, and when the chop chords are played on the mando, it is actually making it ***GASP*** a percussion instrument!

 I've spent *decades* of my life perfecting this craft, and I very much enjoy bluegrass music. So if I want to play and listen to bluegrass music that feature percussion, I should be allowed that right.  You are stifling creativity and innovation in the genre, and giving it a bad reputation. 

You're the Tea Party of bluegrass.Very disappointing, honestly.

4gb ram on a $1200 phone? 64gb storage?

The only thing that interested me with the pixels was the integrated qi and theoretical support for lte/vowifi. Along with being a proper phone for once.

But... it is extremely hard for me to justify $1200 for specs I can get in a $300 unlocked phone from China, even if the network support might be a little better.

Oh well. Back to waiting I guess. This Le Max 2 isn't dead just yet.

If samsung didn't have that touchwiz bloatware and was a bit friendlier for devs, maybe I'd consider them, but the price is still a hard pill to swallow.The Sci-Tech Complex is vigorously promoting the work for dissemination of sci-tech knowledge and information service.
Over the past five years since its inauguration on January 1, 2016, its officials and researchers established a massive database by digitizing lots of sci-tech data they have obtained at home and from abroad in a comprehensive and systematic way and established a nationwide sci-tech dissemination network involving sci-tech learning spaces in regions, sectors and units.
They renovated the configuration system of e-library and the functions of retrieving database and homepage, browsing classified data, spreading sci-tech knowledge and exchanging information in a comprehensive way and raised their utilization rate markedly.
They also opened an online education homepage for disseminators of sci-tech knowledge and normalized its operation, and laid foundations for fully ensuring information exchange through networks, including Q&A service, academic symposiums and sci-tech presentations.
As a result, they have served working people from all walks of life and youth and students with numerous sci-tech data and information up to now.
Based on the realistic management strategy, they are now making continuous efforts to put the online data service on an unmanned and intelligent footing.
This past weekend I tried something new with my little driving pony. In some ways the routine was very familiar, something I’ve done a dozen times but in other ways it was a brand new adventure.
I’ve been to many equestrian clinics, lessons and learning experiences both for the day and for overnight stays and every single one of them have been with the riding horses. In fact all but one of them have been with my main squeeze Tucker.
At least until this past weekend. This time for the first time (try new things) it was all about Pony.
To give you a little bit of history on Pony, I bought her 5 years ago specifically to learn how to drive. She knows the job and she knows it well, so I knew she could teach me. However, as I learned more about horses and some of the psychology behind their behavior I realized that although she was safe and solid when in harness, there were certain aspects of being in the cart that felt off, like maybe she just was not 100% OK with it all.
Since I was uncertain how to deal with her lack of acceptance and given that time and life only allow for limited hours with the horses anyway, I got to where I hooked her up less and less and eventually she became pretty yard art. A sweet face for me to love and groom as she grew fat on the air she breathed out in the pasture. So when I saw an opportunity to spend the weekend with Nattie Book of Driving Naturally from California, I was excited to get some help breaking the pieces down to figure out how to help Pony be more comfortable.
I thought it could get interesting for several reasons. First of all, Pony rarely leaves the farm and when she does it is always with the company of the other horses. The only time she gets to go anywhere is when hubby and I both go camping with the two big horses. We bring her because it is just as easy to throw her on the trailer as it is to try to find someone to care for just her while we are gone. Also, I had not worked with her MONTHS. Her life had gotten pretty cushy, she ate drank, pooped and played without ever having to be bothered with a halter on her face let alone a cart and harness hooked to her back. Naturally, knowing ahead of time that I would be attending this clinic with a horse that had not been loaded on the trailer in months, was out of shape, and was not used to leaving the herd, I did what any good horse owner would do to prepare…NOTHING.
In spite of it all, she was a complete rock star the entire weekend.
During the clinic we had a mix of individual private attention and group work. I learned a lot about adjustments I could make to her harness, bit and cart placement which would make things physically more comfortable for. We also broke the whole process down from the time I caught her in the pasture until the time she was pulling to figure out what steps she was struggling with and what I could do to help her get more confident about it. It was an amazing process to watch her be unsure of something and then after our work settle in and be OK with that very same thing.
We allowed her to explore the cart and really get a look at it. In spite of being a cart horse I’m not sure she had ever been given an opportunity to really see the contraption hooked up to her. She also has a particularly hard time on her right side. When introducing things to her or asking her for something new, it should start on the left and I will continue to grow her confidence on the right. It was also helpful to be given many tools to help her outside of being hooked up to the cart. Things to do, activities to present to her and exercises that will help translate to her being a better driving pony.
It was a very fun and helpful learning experience and I came home motivated to start working with her again. It gave me a fresh perspective on what a great horse she really is and how content she is with having a job. I’m looking forward to Spring where I hope to get her off the property more for some driving adventures.
As you can see lots of “new” for my first “Try Something New Tuesday” post. A new (to me) instructor, a new type of clinic, and a new (different) horse. What a fabulous new experience this was.
