Malaysia Airlines And Virgin Blue Launch New Interline And Velocity Partnership

Malaysia Airlines and Virgin Blue today announced a comprehensive interline agreement which will provide travellers with seamless connectivity between 22 Australian cities and centres to Malaysia Airlines’ international flights departing and arriving Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane in Phase 1, followed by Adelaide and Perth.

The new partnership, effective from 1 September 2006 was unveiled today by Virgin Blue Chief Executive, Brett Godfrey, and Malaysia Airlines’ Managing Director, Idris Jala, who flew to Australia for the announcement.

Both Chief Executives reinforced the partnership as a unique teaming of like-minded airlines.

Idris Jala said, “We are truly delighted with this partnership as it is testimony that full-frill and low-fare airlines can indeed team up for seamless passenger connectivity. It means our passengers can now travel to and from many parts of the world to many parts of Australia on a single ticket issued by Malaysia Airlines.

“This partnership is in line with our hub-and-spoke strategy. It is a significant development of the ‘winning coalitions’ thrust of our Business Turnaround plan. Through this partnership we can now expand our market base without the need to increase point to point operations,” Idris said.

“This partnership has come at a perfect time as the Year 2007 is ‘Visit Malaysia Year’ in line with the Malaysian Government’s objective and our collaboration with Virgin Blue will increase tourists from Australia to Malaysia,” he said.

Brett Godfrey said, “Our partner Malaysia Airlines has been progressive and instrumental in this project and has helped achieve an exceptionally complex integration of vastly different reservations systems and processes.

“An estimated 2-3 million domestic flights within Australia are taken each year by travellers connecting with or arriving on international flights to and from Australia. It’s a stand out area of opportunity for Virgin Blue and we are very pleased to be taking this significant step with Malaysia Airlines.

“To be able to truly offer a seamless service between our airlines has required close to 12 months of IT development, input from just about every area of our businesses and has included the building of a transfer lounge at Sydney International Airport.

“The outcome is a continuum of IT innovation and customer service that takes Virgin Blue into a new league and enables us to offer seamless reservations, check in and transfer handling of Guests and their baggage from all over Australia to link with our international partners’ flights,” Brett concluded.

Bookings for seamless travel to and throughout Australia will be accepted through Malaysia Airlines appointed travel agents in the United Kingdom, Europe and Australia.

The Virgin Blue-Malaysia Airlines tie-up is a further development in Virgin Blue’s differentiation as a New World Carrier. The new processes offer a range of competitive benefits for air travellers including:

Full through check from point of origin to port of destination. No collecting bags and re-checking them in.

Seamless transfers of Guests from Domestic to International airports at the major Australian Gateway ports of Phase 1 - Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane with Phase 2 - including Adelaide, Perth and Cairns.

The ability to track baggage through the interline process

A unified approach to ticketing with international airlines

In addition to the new interline partnership Malaysia Airlines has also joined Velocity, Virgin Blue's award-winning loyalty program, as an international airline partner.

Following the emergence of the pandemic H1N1 influenza A virus in 2009 in humans, this novel virus spread into the swine population. Pigs represent a potential host for this virus and can serve as a mixing vessel for genetic mutations of the influenza virus. Reassortant viruses eventually emerged from the 2009 pandemic and were reported in swine populations worldwide including Thailand. As a result of the discovery of this emergent disease, pathogenesis studies of this novel virus were conducted in order that future disease protection and control measures in swine and human populations could be enacted.

The pandemic H1N1 2009 virus (pH1N1) and its reassortant virus (rH1N1) isolated from pigs in Thailand were inoculated into 2 separate cohorts of 9, 3-week-old pigs. Cohorts were consisted of one group experimentally infected with pH1N1 and one group with rH1N1. A negative control group consisting of 3 pigs was also included. Clinical signs, viral shedding and pathological lesions were investigated and compared. Later, 3 pigs from viral inoculated groups and 1 pig from the control group were necropsied at 2, 4, and 12 days post inoculation (DPI).

The results indicated that pigs infected with both viruses demonstrated typical flu-like clinical signs and histopathological lesions of varying severity. Influenza infected-pigs of both groups had mild to moderate pulmonary signs on 1-4 DPI. Interestingly, pigs in both groups demonstrated viral RNA detection in the nasal swabs until the end of the experiment (12 DPI).

The present study demonstrated that both the pH1N1 and rH1N1 influenza viruses, isolated from naturally infected pigs, induced acute respiratory disease in experimentally inoculated nursery pigs. Although animals in the rH1N1-infected cohort demonstrated more severe clinical signs, had higher numbers of pigs shedding the virus, were noted to have increased histopathological severity of lung lesions and increased viral antigen in lung tissue, the findings were not statistically significant in comparison with the pH1N1-infected group. Interestingly, viral genetic material of both viruses could be detected from the nasal swabs until the end of the experiment. Similar to other swine influenza viruses, the clinical signs and pathological lesions in both rH1N1 and pH1N1 were limited to the respiratory tract.

Influenza; Pandemic H1N1 2009; Pathogenesis; Reassortant; Swine; Thailand

Influenza A viruses are highly contagious respiratory pathogens capable of transmission between various avian and mammalian species including swine and humans. Two specific receptors: sialic acid (SA) α2,3 commonly found in the epithelial cells of gastrointestinal tract of wild aquatic birds and SA α2,6 found in the epithelial cells of the respiratory tract of humans, are recognized. Pigs are known as a “mixing vessel” as they express receptors which can bind both avian and human influenza viruses within the respiratory tract. As a result, interspecies transmission from pigs to humans or vice versa is possible. A study of pig-to-human influenza virus transmission on Thai swine farms proved that swine-exposed workers had antibodies against the circulating swine influenza viruses (SIV) [1]. Cross-species transmission becomes an important factor in monitoring for future human influenza outbreaks. Pandemic H1N1 (pH1N1) virus emerged in April 2009 and rapidly spread among human populations globally. The pH1N1 virus was also called Swine-origin 2009 A (H1N1) due to all of its gene segments closely related to SIV. The pH1N1 virus is a reassortant virus of the European avian-like swine virus (M and NA genes), the classic swine H1N1 virus (HA gene) and the North American triple reassortant H3N2 virus (PB2, PB1, PA, NP and NS genes) [2]. Following the epidemic outbreaks within the human population, the virus was also isolated from pigs in Canada, Norway, Italy, Hong Kong, South Korea and Thailand [3-8]. It should be noted that the North American triple reassortant internal gene (TRIG) virus might influence antigenic drift and shift in mammalian species [9]. As a result, the reassortant variants of pH1N1 containing TRIG cassette were occasionally found in swine and other animals including turkeys [8,10-15]. The recent Thai reassortant pH1N1 (rH1N1) virus has 7 genes derived from the pH1N1 virus and has only the Neuraminidase (NA) gene from an endemic Thai swine H1N1 virus [12]. Thus, amino acid sequences of Hemagglutinin (HA) gene of the pH1N1 and rH1N1 are 98.4% identical and most antigenic sites are quite similar.

Previous pathological studies comparing the pH1N1human isolate and a seasonal human H1N1 influenza virus in pigs found that those pigs showed none of the clinical signs associated with SIV [16]. Microscopic lesions revealed only mild bronchitis and bronchiolitis with peribronchiolar lymphocytic cuffing and a mild interstitial pneumonia [17]. The pathology of the virus having undergone reassortant in pigs demonstrated in the present experiment may reflect severity of disease not only in pigs but also in humans. In addition, individuals working closely with infected swine may facilitate a human-animal interface, thereby promoting viral transmission between humans and pigs [1]. Interestingly, the genetics of SIV circulating in North America in 1997-1998 were not considered to be stable when the triple reassortant H3N2 virus was introduced resulting insignificant febrile disease, severe influenza-like illness, mortality in piglets and abortion in sows. As a result, surveillance and pathogenesis studies are considered to be essential due to this highly evolved genetic variation of SIV in North America [18,19].

In the present experiment, a pathogenesis study of pH1N1 and its reassortant pH1N1 (rH1N1) following experimental infection of three week old piglets has demonstrated that acute respiratory disease in nursery pigs is induced by both viruses. Pigs in the rH1N1-infected group showed prominent clinical signs, with higher numbers of animals shedding the virus, increased severity of pulmonary lesions and evidence of viral antigen in lung tissue. The information gained from the present study confirmed the increased virulence of the reassortant influenza virus in comparison with the pandemic virus.

Clinical examination

Clinical signs were noted daily at 1-7, 10 and 12 days post infection (DPI) in both cohorts. One pig from the pH1N1-infected group (group 1) was found dead due to stress following restraint and findings associated with this animal were excluded from our evaluation. The pH1N1-infected pigs developed sneezing (3 of 8) and had ocular discharge (1 of 8) beginning at 1-2 DPI, and subsequently showed mild (2 of 8) to moderate (3 of 8) serous nasal discharge and conjunctivitis (5 of 8) at 2 DPI. In contrast, the rH1N1-infected pigs showed increased severity of clinical signs, with moderate to severe serous nasal discharge (8 of 9), sneezing (5 of 9) and conjunctivitis (9 of 9) at 1-2 DPI with resolution of the former two clinical signs and amelioration of the discharge at 3-4 DPI in 5 of 6 animals. Only mild serous nasal discharge was observed in two pigs in both cohorts at the end of the experiment (12 DPI). Pigs in the control group had no signs of disease throughout the course of the experiment.

Viral shedding

Viral shedding was measured from nasal swabs using a modified real time RT-PCR and viral isolation in MDCK cells (Table 1). One pH1N1-infected pig (1 of 8) demonstrated evidence of viral shedding as early as 1 DPI. One of the six remaining pigs in the same group was tested positive at 2 DPI with very low levels of viral copies (data not shown). Subsequently, one of the two remaining pigs was tested positive at 5 DPI by both real time RT-PCR and viral isolation. By day 7 post infection, all of the pH1N1-infected pigs shed the virus with high levels of viral copies at 7, 10 and 12 DPI from collected nasal swabs (data not shown). In the rH1N1-infected cohort, one pig was tested positive as early as 1 DPI followed by five of nine animals being positive at 2 DPI, while all six remaining pigs were tested positive at 3 DPI by both real time RT-PCR and viral isolation tests. Similar to the pH1N1 group, viral shedding in nasal swabs was detected again at 10 DPI (2 of 3 pigs) and was detected in all the remaining pigs (3 of 3) at 12 DPI by the real time RT-PCR. None of the nasal swabs from the control group yielded positive results from both tests.

Table 1. Viral shedding measured from nasal swabs detected by a real time RT-PCR and viral isolation

Subsequent to staggered endpoints within the study, euthanasia and necropsy, viral detection in bronchial lymph node and lung tissues was performed (Table 2). In the pH1N1-infected group, virus was detected in 1 lung sample and 2 bronchial lymph nodes when necropsied at 2 DPI by a real time RT-PCR but virus isolation yielded negative results. In contrast, the virus was detected in all rH1N1-infected lungs at 2 DPI and one lung sample (1 of 3) at 4 and 12 DPI by both real time RT-PCR and virus isolation tests. The virus genetic material was also detected in bronchial lymph node of two rH1N1-infected pigs (2 of 3) at 2 and 4 DPI by the real time RT-PCR. The viral genetic material could not be detected in the sera of all pigs analyzed. All control pigs were negative for influenza virus by both tests throughout the experiment.

Table 2. Percentages of gross lung lesions and virus detection in lungs and bronchial lymph nodes

Pathological examination

Typical SIV macroscopic lung lesions are characterized by multifocal, dark, plum-colored lungs suggestive of consolidation. In our experimental animals, pH1N1-infected pigs at 2 DPI (1 of 2), 4 DPI (2 of 3) and in all rH1N1-infected pigs at 2 (3 of 3) and 4 (3 of 3) DPI had similar lesions concentrated within the cranioventral regions of multiple lobes (Figure 1A). The lung lesions mentioned above were not related to Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae (M. hyo)-induced lesion since the PCR tested for M. hyo detection yielded negative results (data not shown). The percentages of gross lung lesions at 2 DPI demonstrated that the rH1N1-infected pigs had greater lung scores than those of the pH1N1-infected pig (Table 2). Other non-specific gross lesions in both infected groups included mild bronchial lymph node enlargement with multifocal subcapsular hemorrhage.

thumbnailFigure 1. Gross lung lesion scoring (18%) demonstrated dark plum-color, multifocal to coalescing consolidation or “checker board lung pattern” (arrow) of the rH1N1-infected pig at 2 DPI (A). Histologically, dark brown staining of the influenza nucleoprotein demonstrating by IHC were observed in the nuclei of the infected bronchial epithelail cells (arrow) (B; bar = 200 μm, C; bar = 20 μm) from the same rH1N1-infected pig at 2 DPI.

Microscopic pulmonary lesions were noted as a mild to moderate broncho-interstitial pneumonia in all infected pigs of both groups particularly at 2 and 4 DPI. However, immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining only demonstrated the SIV nucleoprotein in the nuclei of bronchial epithelial cells of all rH1N1-infected pigs at 2 and 4 DPI (Figure 1B and 1C) while none of the pH1N1-infected pigs were found to be immunoreactive. It should be noted that the lesions were limited only in the lungs of the infected pigs and not to any of the other examined tissues. No significant histopathological findings or IHC immunoreactivity were found in any of the control animals.

Hemagglutinination inhibition (HI) assay

All sera from pre-experiment and terminal blood draws showed negative results against local Thai SIV viruses, A/swine/Thailand/CU-CB1/2006(H1N1) and A/swine/Thailand/CU-CB8.4/2007 (H3N2) viruses. The HI titers of pre-experiment and terminal sera of all experimental pigs against A/swine/Thailand/CU-RA29/2009 (H1N1) or pH1N1were not significantly elevated from the base line.

In this study, pigs in both pH1N1 and rH1N1infected cohorts showed typical SIV clinical signs such as sneezing and coughing from 1-4 DPI [17,20]. As expected, clinical signs of pigs inoculated with the pH1N1 virus and rH1N1 virus were unable to be distinguished from one another. It should be noted that viral isolation of nasal swabs from both infected groups demonstrated influenza A virus positivity until 6 DPI and only the real time RT-PCR showed positive results on 7-12 DPI suggesting that the duration of infectivity extended to 6 DPI. The modified RT-PCR used in this study appeared more sensitive than viral isolation. However, the infectivity from 7-12 DPI was inconclusive. The viral RNA could be detected as early as 1 DPI in both infected groups. But viral isolation results were only tested positive on 3-6 DPI in the rH1N1-infected group and 5-6 DPI in the pH1N1-infected group. Interestingly, the viral RNA was detected at 7-12 DPI in the pH1N1-infected pigs with mild concurrent clinical signs and histopathological lung lesions. Similar to the pH1N1-infected pigs, the rH1N1-infected pigs also showed prolong period of viral detection from the nasal swabs but in this cohort, the animals also had higher macroscopic lung lesions and the presence of virus antigen was noted in all sampled lung tissue.

Previous study on the pathogenesis of a Thai endemic SIV (H1N1) showed viral shedding between 2-4 DPI and a Thai endemic H3N2 had the shedding period only at 2 DPI [20]. Similarly, a study of human isolate pH1N1 in pigs demonstrated viral shedding as early as 1 DPI which persisted until the end of the experiment at 5 DPI [17]. In the present study, pigs in both infected groups showed detectable live viral shedding from 3-6 DPI based on viral isolation but the viral RNA was only sporadically detected through 12 DPI. The long shedding period may allow viral transmission among pigs as well as interspecies transmission particularly to the humans working in close proximity with infected pigs. In contrast to the rH1N1-infected pigs, there was no SIV antigen detected in the lung of the pH1N1-infected pigs. The sporadic viral detection in the lungs of the pH1N1-infected pigs possibly resulted from limited viral replication and fast viral antigen disappearing. Similar to the previous Thai endemic SIV-infected pigs, the studied viral RNA was detected in the respiratory tract of both infected groups and was not found in any other organ system [20]. In contrast to the study of pH1N1 (human origin) in pigs, viral RNA was also detected in tonsil, and serum [17].

Interestingly, the rH1N1-infected pigs demonstrated greater severity in term of clinical signs, pathological lesions and the overall number of pigs shedding the virus. As such, the reassortant virus theoretically could better infect pigs in comparison to the pH1N1. The only difference between the two studied viruses is the NA gene responsible for releasing the progeny viral particles from the infected cells [21]. Since rH1N1 obtained the NA gene from the local Thai SIV (97.2% amino acid sequence identity), the virus might be more compatible in Thai pigs when compared with the pH1N1 (99.6% amino acid sequence identity to human pH1N1 but 95% identity to other SIV isolates) [22]. However, the role of NA gene in SIV pathogenesis has not been fully elucidated and would require further investigation.

Importantly, the pH1N1 contains the triple reassortant internal gene (TRIG) cassette composed of swine, avian and human origin genes. It has been speculated that the TRIG cassette may be able to accommodate multiple HA and NA genes providing advantages to the viral infectivity, replication and possibly mutation. As a result, the TRIG cassette might be the cause of the reported increasing genetic variation rate of SIV in the US occurring since 1998 [9,23,24]. Since the TRIG cassette was recently introduced into the Thai pig population by the pH1N1 virus, the emergence of the Thai reassortant virus (rH1N1) in pigs has been described [12]. In addition, evidence of interspecies transmission among human and pig populations are occasionally reported [1,4,25]. Any novel rH1N1 influenza virus may be able to transmit back to the human population without being noticed and possibly causing another pandemic outbreak. As such, surveillance of influenza virus infections in both pigs and humans is critical for early recognition and prevention of a potential epidemic or pandemic outbreak.

In summary, clinical manifestations and pathological lesions of both pH1N1 and rH1N1-infected pigs in this study were most evident during the early stages of infection (1-4 DPI), consistent with studies of the pathogenesis of other SIV infections. The rH1N1-infected pigs demonstrated prominent clinical signs and pathological lesions typical of SIV infection and nasal swab tests noted that the reassortant virus had higher numbers of pigs shedding the infective virus based on the viral isolation. While result is not statistically significant, the trend observed suggests both cohorts demonstrated some animals shedding virus through the end of the study at12 DPI. Similar to other SIV studies, the studied viruses replicated well in the lung tissues and the viral antigen was only detected within the respiratory tract.

Materials and methods

A/swine/Thailand/CU-RA29/2009(H1N1) [7], a pandemic H1N1 of pig origin (pH1N1) and A/swine/Thailand/CU-SA43/2010 (H1N1) [12], a novel reassortant virus of pig origin (rH1N1) were individually propagated 3 times in 9-day-old embryonated chicken eggs. Allantoic fluids were collected after 72 hours incubation. The virus concentrations were calculated using 50% tissue culture infectious dose (TCID50) in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cell using Reed and Muench method. Concentrations of both viruses were adjusted to 104 TCID50/ml and kept in the -80°C until used.

Experimental pigs

Twenty one, 3-week-old pigs from a local SIV, porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) and porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV)-free herd (kindly provided by the Charoen Pokphand Food public company limited, Thailand) were divided into 3 groups. Group 1 and 2 containing 9 pigs each were intratracheally inoculated with 5 ml containing 104 TCID50/ml of pH1N1 and rH1N1, respectively. A negative control group containing 3 pigs received mock cell culture media intratracheally. Clinical signs such as fever, coughing, sneezing, nasal discharge and conjunctivitis were blindly recorded daily by the same veterinarian for a week and at 10 and 12 days post infection (DPI). All pigs tested serologically negative for PRRSV and PCV2 using commercial ELISA kits (IDEXX laboratories, USA and Synbiotics, USA, respectively). All animals were housed in the animal facility biosafety level 2 with appropriated food and clean water providing adequately throughout the experiment. The animal usage and procedures were approved by Chulalongkorn University-Faculty of Veterinary Science animal care and use committee (protocol No. 11310052).

Viral detection

Nasal swab were collected at 1-7, 10 and 12 DPI. Total RNA was extracted from nasal swabs, sera, fresh bronchial lymph node and lung tissue collected at necropsy by using a commercial kit (NucleoSpin Extract Viral RNA Kit, Macherey-Nagel, Germany). A modified real time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (real time RT-PCR) was performed using Superscript III platinum one-step quantitative RT-PCR system (Invitrogen, USA). Primers specific to Matrix (M) gene containingforward primer (MF3; 5’ TGATCTTCTTGAAAATTTGCAG 3’), reward primer (MR1+; 5’ CCGTAGMAGGCCCTCTTTTCA 3’) and M-probe (FAM-TTGTGGATTCTTGATCG-MGB) were used in this study. The cycling conditions started at 48°C for 45 min, 95°C for 10 min and followed by 40 cycles of denaturation (94°C for 15 s), annealing (55°C for 30 s) and extension (72°C for 40 s) [26].

Nasal swabs, lung and bronchial lymph node homogenate samples were filtrated and inoculated onto MDCK cells using ten-fold serial dilutions. The inoculated cell cultures were incubated for 72 hours. Virus was identified using anti-influenza A nucleoprotein monoclonal antibody as a primary antibody and rabbit anti-mouse IgG conjugated horseradish peroxidase as a secondary antibody (DakoCytomation, Carpinteria, California). Then, color was developed using a chromogen aminoethylcarbazole substrate (Sigma, St. Louis, Missouri) [20].

Pathological examination

Three pigs from each viral inoculated group and 1 pig from the negative control group were randomly selected for euthanasia and necropsied at 2, 4 and 12 DPI. At necropsy, percentages of gross lung lesion scores characterized by multifocal mottled tan and consolidation in consistency were recorded and scored as previously described [20]. Lung, bronchial lymph nodes, ileum, tonsil, liver, kidney and spleen were collected from each animal at necropsy, immersed and fixed in 10% buffered formalin for subsequent histopathological analysis.

Formalin-fixed tissues were embedded in paraffin and processed routinely. Sections were cut approximately 4-6 μm thick for histopathological and immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining for Influenza A virus antigen detection. The IHC staining was performed using a labeled streptavidin-biotin (LSAB) method. Primary antibody using anti-influenza A (H5N1) nucleoprotein monoclonal mouse antibodies (EVS238, B.V.EUROPEAN VETERINARY LABORATORY, the Netherlands) and secondary antibody using Biotinylated rabbit anti-mouse IgG antibody and envision polymer (Envision Polymer DAKO®, Denmark) were concurrently performed with a negative control slide. The sections were developed with 3, 3’-diaminobenzidine tetrahydrochloride (DAB) and counterstained with Mayer’s hematoxylin. A positive control slide was also included using the SIV-infected lung section from our previous experiment [7].

Hemagglutinination inhibition (HI) assay

Sera were collected from all pigs before starting the experiment and at each necropsy. All sera were pretreated with 20% kaolin and receptor destroying enzyme (Denka Seiken Co. Ltd., Japan). The antibody detection was performed used standard HI assay [1]. Virus antigens used in this experiment were representatives of Thai endemic swine viruses; A/swine/Thailand/CU-CB1/2006(H1N1) and A/swine/Thailand/CU-CB8.4/2007 (H3N2) and pH1N1 virus (A/swine/Thailand/CU-RA29/2009(H1N1)). Samples with HI titers ≥ 40 were considered as previously exposed to the specific tested antigen.

First Look: Trek Ticket S, Ticket DJ, and Session Park - The Wait is Over! 1

Raise your hand if you knew Brandon Semenuk and crew were riding custom Trek Session frames... Anyone? Developed for the C3 Project, the slightly modified Session Park will be available Spring 2014. BOOM!

Sporting many of the same features as the Session 9.9, like the adjustable geometry Mino Link flip chips and OCLV Mountain carbon, the Session Park also gains a few tricks of its own.

The chainstays go from 445mm to 420mm to improve maneuverability and flickability (that's now a word). Note that the production model will have a raised seatstay brace as shown here.

A tapered headtube and internal routing keep things clean.

The Session Park has ISCG tabs, of course.

Rear travel goes from 210mm to 190mm while the suspension leverage ratio gets more progressive. The production model will be spec'd with a RockShox Vivid Air.

Perfect for sending Rampage-sized hits, it'll be available in medium and large sizes.

$4499.99 worth of tree scrubbing fun.

Also new for 2014, the Ticket DJ frame is back!

Boosting lips in New Zealand aboard the Ticket DJ. #notbad

Now with an updated 142x12 rear end and sliding horizontal rear dropouts for single speed or geared options. $699 for the Ticket DJ.

No feet, no worries with Cam McCaul.

Available November 2013, the long-awaited Ticket S frame will come in super limited rider editions and black-on-black for $1499.99.

Purpose built exclusively for the C3 Project, the Ticket S was designed to mimic the feel of the Ticket DJ.

Brett Rheeder doing work.

The Ticket S has 100mm of travel via the Full Floater and EVO Link, as well as Trek's Active Braking Pivot (ABP).

As custom as it gets, you just have to get a little crafty.

"Cam hole!"

Trek is even giving you the chance to score a limited edition paint job. Ryan "R-Dog" Howard is up to bat first with his custom Stars 'n Stripes theme. 'Merica!

Trek will be rolling out the rider editions periodically starting Spring 2014, and we're bound to see some fresh designs along the way.

Right side up or upside down, the Ticket S is ready for business.

They're finally here. Cheers for dialing everything in, boys!

Trek heard you, and they're finally making the same bikes the Pros ride available to the public. Developed in conjunction with the C3 Project crew, these Race Shop Limited edition rides will be available as frames only, perfect for your own custom build.

From random eel fights to the crazy inverted flip loop thing you saw Brett Rheeder doing in the slideshow, the new Notbad video from Anthill Films is an absolute must watch and showcases all of these new Trek bikes. It's 30 days of bicycle toomfoolery in New Zealand packed into 30 minutes. Catch the teaser below, then grab the full vid on iTunes for more stoke.

Lin Cong Ming Fish Head Casserole (林聪明沙锅鱼头) @ Chiayi, Taiwan

Tourists visiting Alishan (the most famous mountain resort and natural preserve in Taiwan) on guided tours will usually overnight in Chiayi city – 嘉义. Because Alishan itself is located at the mountains of Chiayi County so basically it is the nearest city for food and lodging. Although it has the status of a city, it actually looked more like a town with very few things to do.

When it comes to food, Turkey Rice 火鸡饭 is no doubt the most famous in Chiayi and perhaps in Taiwan as well. After our Alishan tour while on our way to the hotel we lost count on the number of Turkey Rice restaurants we saw in Chiayi – it was everywhere!
Even if the restaurant is not specializing in Turkey Rice, this dish would most likely be still available for order. Despite its popularity and availability, it was 林聰明沙鍋魚頭 – Lin Cong Ming’s impressive Fish Head Casserole that really struck us. So much that it is one of the most memorable food we had in Taiwan. By the way, the term ‘聪明’ means smart or clever, quite a unique name for a food shop eh?

The hotel we stayed in was smart to come out with a local map specially for tourists that highlights the good food around Chiayi. Lin’s Fish Head Casserole is a local specialty so it was also listed as one of the eateries to try.
Being totally clueless, we asked the hotel’s doorman for his opinion. He told us that if we were interested in trying something special, we should really head to Lin Cong Ming at Zhongzheng Road. So Fish Head Casserole it was! With a detailed map in hand, finding the shop was easy but man it was a long walk.

A normal serving of the Fish Head Casserole cost TWD$80 and comes with chunks of fish meat and some vegetables like cabbage, golden needle mushroom, black fungus and bean curd. Honestly, the dish looked very unappetizing and we were quite disappointed when it arrived on our table. But once we tasted the broth, we changed our mind immediately.
It didn’t matter it had an unappealing look because the broth was deliciously flavorful, which was boiled for eight hours using huge pig bones, dried shrimps, chili, scallion, three layered pork meat etc and then seasoned with their secret barbecue sauce.

The addition of their award winning deep fried fish meat made the broth even tastier. Lin gets a daily supply of live Chub fish (鲢鱼) from a reservoir and each weighs about 5kg so you can imagine the size of the fish head. Captive bred fish usually suffers from a muddy smell when cooked but we didn’t detect any of that.

And here’s Chiayi’s famous Turkey Rice @ TWD$20. It is usually served with sliced turkey breast slightly drizzled with a secret meat sauce invented by the boss himself. As for the portion, it is very small similar to the Braised Pork Rice.
Although not the most famous Turkey Rice in Chiayi, it was good enough for us. Just for your information the Turkey Rice sellers in Chiayi take pride in only using local bred turkeys, which are known for their succulent flesh.

A huge pot used to prepare the broth simmering all the ingredients from early morning till noon. As you can see the broth’s color is quite clear because the 沙茶酱 (Barbecue Sauce) has not been added yet.

Huge chunks of fish head and flesh deep fried into a crisp golden brown are displayed outside the restaurant as a sign of its freshness, nothing to hide.
For Taiwanese staying outside Chiayi but still want a taste of Lin Cong Ming’s delicious Fish Head Casserole, it can be delivered for a small fee of TWD$30. Too bad it does not deliver to Malaysia lol.

NBA Finals Now in Critical Stage

San Antonio — Tony Parker’s hamstring, not Dwyane Wade’s knee, is the current chief injury concern.

Manu Ginobili, not Chris Bosh, is mired in the slump of the moment.

Things change quickly at the NBA Finals, and with everything suddenly seeming right with the Miami Heat, it’s up to the San Antonio Spurs to change them back tonight in Game 5.

“It is a must-win. We don’t want to go back down there down a game with two games remaining at their house,” Spurs star Tim Duncan said yesterday.

“Obviously, we lose this game, we’re not giving up or anything, but we want to go back up with a chance to finish there. Huge pressure if we have to go back there and try to win two.”

The Heat evened the series with a 109-93 victory Thursday night, setting up what’s often the pivotal moment of the finals. Of the 27 times the series was tied at 2-2, the Game 5 winner went on to win 20 of them.

“I think that’s what everyone would like, 2-2 in the finals for Game 5,” LeBron James said. “We are excited about the opportunity. We have another opportunity to win on someone else’s floor.”

It’s the same situation Miami was in two years ago, losing Game 5 in Dallas. But the Heat also had dropped the previous game, and James was struggling through a poor series by his standards.

Everything looks good for the Heat as they arrive at this stage now. James was dominant in Game 4 with 33 points and 11 rebounds, and Wade scored 32 points, not appearing to be bothered at all by a painful right knee that had limited his effectiveness in the postseason.

With Bosh breaking out with 20 points and 13 rebounds, everything that was a problem for the Heat a few days ago no longer looks to be the case. Instead, the obstacles look to be piling up for the Spurs.

“It’s a part of the playoffs,” Wade said. “There’s always high moments. There’s always low moments. There’s moments when you have guys who are in a slump, et cetera. Guys who come out of it. Great story lines. It’s all of it.”

The teams returned to practice yesterday after taking a day off, and though Parker said his strained right hamstring was feeling better and he hoped to be close to 100 percent by the game, he later made that sound impossible.

“My hamstring can tear any time now,” he said. “So if it was the regular season, I would be resting like 10 days. But now it’s the NBA Finals. If it gets a tear, it’s life.”

Ginobili is averaging 7.5 points on 34.5 percent shooting in the series, making only three of his 16 3-point attempts. Parker said he’s still confident in his longtime teammate, and coach Gregg Popovich said he wasn’t worried about either player — about all he did say on a day when he was a man of even fewer words than usual.

During his brief responses to eight questions, he added that he wasn’t surprised by the Heat’s lineup change in Game 4, but wouldn’t say whether the Spurs would do anything different tonight.

“I’d hate to be trite and say anything is possible. Your question demands my triteness,” he answered.

The last three games have all been blowouts, a somewhat surprising result that wasn’t so surprising to James. When their Big Three all play like they Thursday, the Heat can make even a good team like the Spurs look pretty bad.

“If we play our game, if we force turnovers, we rebound, execute offensively and don’t turn the ball over, we can win against anybody,” James said. “We’re a confident bunch. But we’re going against a great team that’s going to make adjustments as well. And that’s why it’s a 2-2 series right now.”

The Heat won only twice in San Antonio in their first 24 seasons, and now can win in back-to-back games, which would give the defending champions two chances to close out the Spurs back home. Game 6 is Tuesday night.

But the team that won 27 consecutive games during the regular season, the second-longest winning streak in NBA history, hasn’t been able to win two in a row since taking the last four games of the second round and the opener of the Eastern Conference finals.

The Spurs haven’t been any better at maintaining momentum, following their two victories in this series with turnover-filled losses by a combined 35 points, and Duncan said their focus has to be sharper.

“That’s what it’s all about right now, is that focus for a longer period of time. Taking care of the ball, understanding what you want to do and less defensive mistakes, and for whatever reason it seems like the team that’s coming off a loss has done a better job of sustaining that for a longer period of time,” Duncan said.

“I hope that’s the case for us tomorrow, but we have to find a way to alleviate that, whether it’s a win or a loss.”

The Spurs have never lost a Game 5 in the NBA Finals, including victories in 2003 and ’05 when the series were tied 2-2. Tonight’s game could be the last time Duncan, Parker and Ginobili play at home in the finals, and they want go out a winner.

“This game is huge,” Ginobili said. “We don’t want to go to Miami knowing that we have to win both. Going there to win one of the two is a different situation. So Game 5, regardless of where you play, it’s huge for you at 2-2. We’ve seen it too many times. We really want to win this one.”

Schubart: Political Empathy

09/27/12 7:55AM By Bill Schubart
 MP3   Download MP3

(Host) At first, this might sound counter-intuitive, but Clint Eastwood's appearance at the recent Republican Convention reminded commentator Bill Schubart of nothing so much as a famous passage in Shakespeare.

(Schubart) Mercy derives from empathy or the capacity to experience another person's feelings. The response from someone lacking empathy is most often framed intellectually or rationally rather than emotionally. If your friend tells you that he or she is sad, angry and afraid because their spouse has just left, it's unlikely that you would respond with a plan for him or her to find a new one or to wreak legal and fiscal revenge on the departed spouse. It's more likely that you would acknowledge and endorse your friend's feelings by expressing your understanding and sympathy. Most often, people in emotional distress need only to be heard and acknowledged. Heavy-handed attempts to fix their problems and offer advice not only miss the point, they further isolate the distressed individuals. When one is privy to the pain of another and allows that person to give it voice, it often allows the distress to diminish in time and make way for sound advice.

But some people are simply tone deaf to the pain of those around them. They are comfortable blaming those in adversity - kids struggling with bad youthful decisions, people in mid-life who have fallen out of the economy, or the elderly struggling with the infirmities of old age. They experience no empathy and may even blame the victim. This Atlas Shrugged vision of those who have not managed to claw their way up the economic ladder to wealth or even subsistence has become politically popular.

Today, the charitable endeavors of an organized society, often called its "social safety net," are commonly called "entitlements" with an implied judgment that those in need have chosen their lot in life and greedily await relief.

The organizing principles of government have always included efforts to enhance community and, though they may change over time, they have generally included the orphaned, the poor, the unemployed, the infirm and the aged.
To suggest that we abandon these principles at this point in our history is to me unthinkable - much less to give as the sole reason for doing so the need to lower taxes on the wealthy among us - who are richer now than they have ever been in our 200-year history but still have not created the jobs that have gone missing because they don't want to be subject to regulatory laws like the rest of us. But that seemed to be the gist of Clint Eastwood's remarks at the Republican convention - and it was an interesting moment of political theater.
It was reminded from of a passage from Shakespeare's "The Merchant of Venice" in which "The quality of mercy" is described in some of the most eloquent lines ever expressed in the English language.

It goes like this:
The quality of mercy is not strained.
It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven
Upon the place beneath. It is twice blest:
It blesseth him that gives and him that takes.

And it famously concludes that "earthly power doth then show like God's
When mercy seasons justice."

Our Booth at the Salvadorian Festival

Posted on August 14, 2013 by The VRG Blog Editor

By Priscilla Soto Vargas

This event took place in Wheaton, Maryland, where there is a large Hispanic community. Since this was a Salvadorian festival, the majority of the event attendees were from El Salvador. However, we talked to people from Honduras, Mexico, India, the United States, etc. Thank you to Annabelle (Cuban background) who connected us with Alexandra, a nutrition student in El Salvador, who sent us El Salvadorian recipes to hand out. This is truly an international world.

This experience was different from the previous outreach booth I did due to the fact that the Spanish language was heavily used. Therefore, Karen (Mexican background), Laura, and I were able to apply our language skills with those who were interested in obtaining more information about vegetarianism. At the same time, we were exposed to Salvadorian food, drinks, desserts, crafts, as well as live music.

Some people at the festival seemed unaware of vegetarianism; others came to us and proudly mentioned that they didn’t eat meat. One lady came with her eight-year-old daughter and said to me, “We don’t eat any meat at our house, and I would like to buy a book with new recipes in English because it helps my kids improve their reading skills.” I personally thought that was a great way to bond with your children while they learn to read and cook.

Being a native of Costa Rica, I understand that Hispanics can be shy and sometimes feel intimidated to ask questions, especially when they have to speak English. Therefore, I am sure they liked the fact that we spoke their native language, and also that we offered the Vegetarian Journal to them.

Hispanic families tend to be very united. At this event I observed that parents, grandparents, and children were present enjoying the Salvadorian Festival to the fullest. We handed out plenty of our Spanish vegetarian coloring booklets to children. It truly put a smile on their faces.

This was a great experience for us since it gave us the chance to observe, interact, and learn from a different culture.

Happy Feet keep youngsters walking at Beeks Elementary in Blacksburg

BLACKSBURG, Va., Nov. 7, 2005 – Students at Margaret Beeks Elementary School in Blacksburg may not be setting world records, but they are setting records for themselves to get exercise.

Members of Virginia Tech’s Fitness and Nutrition Club are encouraging and leading the Beeks’ students in a walking program called Happy Feet.

“We hope they are establishing the habit of exercise,” said Megan Foust of Chesterfield, Va., a senior majoring in human nutrition, foods, and exercise in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences who is coordinating the students. The Fitness and Nutrition Club is an organization of students studying in the department of human nutrition, foods, and exercise in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. They worked with Kathleen and Jon Poole, currently on the faculty at Radford University, who started the program.

Happy Feet is a program to keep track of how far each student and each grade walks. The elementary students walk a marked, tenth-of-a-mile trail at the school in the morning before classes start. It is a time when buses are arriving, some students are eating breakfast, and others are studying. Those students who wish, walk the trail at their own pace and with their friends. First and second graders walk on Tuesdays and Thursdays and third, fourth, and fifth graders on Mondays and Wednesdays.

The students get a marker for each tenth of a mile they cover. The markers are collected to count how far they walked each day.

The Fitness and Nutrition Club students visit with the youngsters and also keep track of their distances. A chart in the activity room shows miles the classes have walked. For specific distances—every three miles—the students get a shoelace token, a colorful plastic charm in the shape of a footprint. “These feet are prized by the students,” said Foust.

Teachers at Beeks seem supportive, said Foust. “Only students who wish to do so participate in Happy Feet,” she said. The regular physical education classes are part of the school day twice a week. The Virginia Tech students work with the teacher Lynn Hickok.

“Happy Feet is a fun way to start the day, out in the fresh air where the students can get their bodies and brains moving so they are ready to concentrate,” said second grade teacher Beth Holbrook, of Blacksburg.

“They get the wiggles out,” Holbrook said.
