Temporal Effects of Lactic Acid Bacteria Probiotic Culture on Salmonella in Neonatal Broilers
We evaluated the ability of a commercially available lactic acid bacteria-based probiotic culture (LAB) to reduce Salmonella Enteritidis or Salmonella Typhimurium in day-of-hatch broiler chicks. In these experiments, chicks were challenged with Salmonella Enteritidis or Salmonella Typhimurium and treated with LAB 1-h postchallenge. Following treatment, cecal tonsils and ceca were aseptically collected for Salmonella Enteritidis or Salmonella Typhimurium enrichment or Salmonella Enteritidis enumeration, respectively. In experiments 1 to 3, LAB significantly reduced the incidence of Salmonella Enteritidis (60 to 70% reduction) or Salmonella Typhimurium (89 to 95% reduction) recovered from the cecal tonsils of day-old broiler chicks 24 h following treatment as compared with controls (P < 0.05). Additionally, administration of LAB caused a >2.9 log10 reduction of total cecal Salmonella Enteritidis recovered 24 h following treatment as compared with controls (P < 0.05). In experiments 4 to 7, upon sample enrichment LAB significantly reduced the recovery of Salmonella Enteritidis from the cecal tonsils at 24 h, but not 6 or 12 h posttreatment (P < 0.05). However, in experiments 6 and 7, when total cecal Salmonella Enteritidis recovery was enumerated, a significant treatment-associated reduction was observed 12 h posttreatment, although in cecal tonsil samples there was no difference in Salmonella Enteritidis incidence at 12 h (P < 0.05). In these studies, LAB treatment significantly reduced recovery of Salmonella in day-of-hatch broilers.

Practical Program Evaluation for Criminal Justice
Practical Program Evaluation for Criminal Justice shows readers how to apply the principles of fiscal responsibility, accountability, and evidence-based practice to criminal justice reform plans. Unlike other policy-based texts, which tend to focus more on implementation than assessment, this book provides applicable, step-by-step instruction on determining an initiative's necessity prior to its adoption (reducing the risk of wasting resources), as well as how to accurately gauge its effectiveness during initial roll-out stages. The book gradually introduces basic data analysis procedures and statistical techniques, which, once mastered, can be used to prove or disprove a program's worth. Lastly, the book introduces the types of stakeholders who should review evaluation results for quick action, as well as how to best structure reports to ensure their buy-in.

In May of 1941, when I was 10, we lived on Adams Street in a part of Boston called Dorchester. Down it each May came a parade, the best part of which was the Hornets, a musical unit of middle-aged veterans of the Great War. They wore Napoleonic tunics in stripes of yellow and black, and kepis with shimmering yellow plumes. They were flanked by squads of slightly younger men, each with a rifle - not the chrome-plated dummies the Hornets color guard carried, but genuine '03 Springfields. What I would have given to be able to hold one for a while: to heft it, caress it, feel the weight of it. The parade always concluded in the cemetery down our street. A small section had been set aside for the dead of the War to End Wars. The Hornets would play taps, the veterans with the Springfields would fire deafening salutes, and the marching units would depart to muffled drumbeats.

So you're driving along Route 684 in Connecticut, and you suddenly have a craving for Greek food. Punch in Greek. An index appears and begins to roll, starting with Greek actors, Greek alliances, Greek art - please specify: ancient, modern, statues or buildings. By the time you get to Greek R for restaurants, you have crossed into Massachusetts, where there are lots of Greek restaurants but all in Boston, at the other end of the state. How about Italian, the readout suggests. While your taste buds make the shift, you clock another 20 miles, your gas tank needs a transfusion and you've gone far beyond your original destination.
