New study finds Lyme bacteria survive a 28-day course of antibiotics
Press release from Tulane University, December 13, 2017: Bay Area Lyme Foundation, a leading sponsor of Lyme disease research in the U.S., today announced results of two papers published in the peer-reviewed journals PLOS ONE and American Journal of Pathology , that seem to support claims of lingering symptoms reported by many patients who have already received antibiotic treatment for the disease.
New Study Finds Lyme Bacteria Survive a 28-Day Course of Antibiotics
FHA Health, Safety, & Security Speed Compliance & Risk Report November, 2017
Fearrington Village has 83 streets and roads, of which 57 are state secondary roads. Of those state roadways, only a small number—which we refer to as being among our traffic “arterials”—carry the greatest volume of traffic flow as well as at some times significant instances of vehicular, pedestrian, and bicycle interactions (ranging from bicyclists riding in the traffic lane with vehicles (which is legal in NC) and people crossing the roadway (with or without crosswalks), or walking along the edge of the roadway when paths or sidewalks are unavailable or are in bad condition.
Our modern ATS speed monitor, which is perpetually moved among fixed locations on a rotation pattern, stores and remotely reports a wide array of traffic data. For this report, we have chosen to focus on five of the high-traffic volume locations listed just below. Later reports will include some of these same locations as well as several others. Beechmast, near Quail Run, close to Village Way; Millcroft Inbound, near Woodleigh; Village Way Inbound, near Windstone; Village Way Outbound, near Windstone; Weathersfield, Inbound near Caswell.
Of the varieties of reports compiled by the monitor, the most important high-level overview is provided by the “Compliance and Risk Report,” which appears below. As you will note from the date ranges listed, the monitor was returned to some locations more often and remained at some locations longer (for both data collection and driver awareness reasons). We’re working toward a more refined scheduling of locations and timeframes.
Not too surprisingly, in this current report, Village Way/Inbound/near Windstone and Weathersfield/Inbound near Caswell—the two main entry/exit arterials—account for the greatest percentage of the excessive speeds, most of which by far is documented by the camera as being produced by passenger vehicles, not by service and delivery vehicles.

It's Fall, and That Means More Deer on the Roads. Here's How to Avoid a Wreck
It's fall, and that means more deer on the roads. Here's how to avoid a wreck.
Fall means the return of cool weather, changing leaves and pumpkin-spiced everything. It's also the time of year drivers are most likely to hit a deer. Hunting by humans and mating by the deer mean more of them are on the move, at a time of year when shorter days mean more people are driving after dark or before sunrise.

National Weather Service 2017 Atlantic Hurricane Prediction Outlook
Climate Prediction Center - Atlantic Hurricane Outlook
The 2017 Atlantic hurricane season outlook is an official product of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Climate Prediction Center (CPC). The outlook is produced in collaboration with hurricane experts from the National Hurricane Center (NHC) and the Hurricane Research Division (HRD).
Research Shows Drones Delivering AEDs (Defibrillators) May Save Many Lives
Defibrillator-carrying drones could save lives, research suggests
Drones are already employed for anything from military to recreational use, from oil exploration to filmmaking, but they could also help save the lives of people who have suffered a cardiac arrest, research suggests. A simulated study found that drones carrying a defibrillator, which could be used by a member of the public, arrived 16 minutes quicker than the emergency services on average, saving precious time.
