Patients whose ischemic strokes occur within one to two days of being admitted to The Methodist Hospital in Houston may be eligible to enroll in the double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled phase 2 safety and efficacy trial of MultiStem®, a novel therapy being developed by Athersys, Inc.
"The thrombolytic tPA is still the only FDA-approved treatment for the majority of stroke cases, but unfortunately, we only have a three hour window of opportunity with this drug," said Dr. David Chiu, medical director of the Eddy Scurlock Stroke Center at Methodist and the study site's principal investigator. "By offering our acute stroke patients a broader timeframe for treatment, we hope to have the chance to effectively help many more patients."
The study will examine the effects of intravenous administration of adult stem cells that can be manufactured from a donor. In contrast to traditional bone marrow transplants, which require one donor for each patient that needs treatment, MultiStem is a patented formulation of early adult stem cells, and hundreds of thousands to millions of doses can be made from the bone marrow cells of one healthy donor. The product can be made in advance, and may be stored in the hospital and used "off the shelf".
Researchers in the clinical trial will not only look at how well the investigational therapy works for stroke treatment, but they will also monitor for potential side effects and how potent the drug is compared to placebo.
Another goal of this study is to examine some of the stem cells' effects on organs such as the spleen, which is thought to contribute to ongoing inflammation that could increase brain injury after the initial stroke. Published work from preclinical studies shows that MultiStem can provide benefits even when administered several days after a stroke has occurred, and some of the cell effects appear to occur through their action on the spleen. Animal models used in this research showed a statistically significant and durable improvement in motor skills relative to animals that received a placebo.
More than 80 percent of stroke patients have ischemic strokes, where a clot causes an obstruction in an artery leading to the brain, restricting blood flow. On average, someone suffers a stroke every 40 seconds in the United States, and someone dies of a stroke every three to four minutes. Each year, about 795,000 people experience a new or recurrent stroke.
Stroke is the fourth leading cause of death and the leading cause of serious long-term disability in the United States, costing the nation an estimated $74 billion each year.

Regulators are preparing to clamp down on a rule that allows a controlling shareholder in a public company to ride roughshod over minority investors.
The Financial Conduct Authority will next month look at changing the listing rules so that a majority investor would have to get the support of a large number of smaller shareholders to take a company private.
It follows a spate of controversies when dominant shareholders apparently acted in their own interests at the cost of smaller investors.
In particular, questions have been asked of emerging market natural resource businesses that have listed in the UK.
Last year, ENRC ended a turbulent five years on the London market as the Kazakh mining company delisted with what many observers said was a low-ball offer to take the business private.
More recently, the battle over the Indonesian coal miner Bumi that pitted Nat Rothschild against the billionaire Bakrie family highlighted the inability of UK listing rules to protect minority investors.
The FCA said its board would consider changing public company voting rules to ensure that any resolution passed by a UK-listed company must have the support of at least three-quarters of its voting shares.
It is also proposing a new rule requiring a controlling shareholder to secure the support of a majority of independent investors for any major change.
The changes come amid an ongoing controversy over a potential buyout of London-listed Indian oil refiner Essar by its majority owner, with leading investors outraged at what they say is an offer that undervalues the business.
If the FCA board votes in favour of the changes they would come into force from May 14.

All-League Voting Procedures (Revised August 2019)
Sports coordinators will remind coaches about the criteria for All League nomination, Rookie of the Year nomination, Coach of the Year, and Team Sportsmanship prior to the post-season meeting so as to help coaches to mindfully and coherently process what they are assessing when casting votes for Coach of the Year and Sportsmanship.
The definition of an all-league representative is someone who:
Demonstrates skills and ability through performance in league contests;
Is both a leader to the team and demonstrates the attributes of sportsmanship;
Has played in at least 60% of all league games;
Has had nomination vetted by both coach and athletic director
Rookie of the Year: Nominees may be 9th-12th graders who have no previous varsity high school experience. Note: The fastest new varsity male and female in Cross Country will be named Rookie of the Year. For other sports the Rookie of the Year will be voted upon by league coaches.
Coach of the Year criteria:
- Team achievement factors (in no particular order):
Winning achievements
Improvement from last year and/or during the season
What a team has done with the talent they have
Growth of student participation in the program
- Personal factors (how a coach presents themselves and represents their team)
Cultivation of relationships/collegiality with coaches in the league
Management of scores, especially in blowout situations
Modeling respect with officials
Promotion of sportsmanship with one's athletes
Sportsmanship criteria:
Poise and self control regardless of situation or outcome
Respectful communication with opponents; intensity of effort does not detract from respect for others
Positive attitude
Avoid excessive/unnecessary contact
Interact respectfully with officials
Coach of the Year and Sportsmanship Voting:
- Coaches will vote for their top 3
- 5-3-1 scoring (5 for top votes…) to avoid ties
Athletic Directors are required to meet a nomination submission date prior to the all-league coaches' meeting.
All Head Coaches must attend (or have representation at) the post season coaches' meeting. At that meeting:
Coaches will be given time to discuss each of their all-league nominations as well as Rookie-of-the-Year nominations.
League sportsmanship reports will be distributed (card, technical reports) to each coach.
2 AD's will be present at All-League meetings: Sport Coordinator + another AD
Open Voting in all team sports. No counting of votes. Rookie and MVP Open Voting (MVP is also a member of the 1st Team All League).
Coach of the Year and Sportsmanship will be voted via closed ballots
If in Divisions, 70% will come from Division 1, 30% will come from Division 2
The size of some teams has been increased to try to make consistent 1st and 2nd teams. The percentage of players recognized will be kept consistent so girls' sports aren't penalized for extra teams
Honorable Mentions are not position specific.
Vote Confirmations/Reports:
ADs will confirm spellings, positions, etc., with the sport coordinator. Any discrepancies and/or possible issues will be discussed with the AD of the school involved. If needed, the league appeals committee will convene to any resolve issues.
All-League teams will be distributed to ADs via email and posted on the league website, (cc'd to Seattle Times) the same day by the sport coordinator.
All-League Team Sizes
Volleyball – 7 (1st Team)/ 7 (2nd Team)
Boys Soccer - 11 (1st team)/ 9 (2nd team)
Girls' Soccer – 11 (1st team)/ 9 (2nd team)
Boys' Basketball – 5 (1st team)/ 5 (2nd team):
Girls' Basketball – 5 (1st team)/ 5 (2nd team) + 2 (Honorable Mention)
Baseball – 5
Softball – 5
Boys' Ultimate - 7 (1st team) + 4 (Honorable Mention)
Girls' Ultimate - 7 (1st team) + 4 (Honorable Mention)
Individual Sports' Qualifications
· Cross Country – Top 13 boys and 14 girls awarded (25% of the 7 "starters"/team).
· Golf – top 25% of the league by regular season scoring average are 1st team All-League.
· Tennis – top 4 Singles & Doubles players will be considered 1st Team All-League.
· Track and Field – awards league honors by meeting standard(s).
· Athlete ejected for sportsmanship reasons is not eligible for all-league honors of any kind.

Done for the WWF by Agency The Name out of Rome, it's beautiful, simple, a bit clever, and just the slightest-bit funny. I wish I'd thought of it. And I just can't stop chuckling at the crushed panda logo. I hope that's not bad. I seriously don't find any humor in the death of a panda. And I'm not sure how much it really pushes the messages of the WWF. Regardless, this ad definitely has a special place in my heart at the moment.

Captain Bonny gave us an excellent sailing experience while visiting Destin on vacation. She enjoyed teaching us about sailing and sharing some of her unique sailing experiences.

I had the most amazing experience with Capt. Bonnie and her Beneteau sailboat "Braveheart". I was looking for unique experience to share with my daughters 13 and 14 who had never sailed before, so I chartered Braveheart for the afternoon of March 15th 2017. The weather was cool and we had 10 knots of wind, gusting to 20. We sailed across Destin harbor, out the channel and into the Gulf. Capt. Bonnie was an absolute professional and I would heartily recommend her instruction sailing ability especially if you're own sailing skills are a bit rusty or you are looking to relax and let someone else do the work. Her boat was clean and in good condition. We were even lucky enough to see some dolphins up close. My daughters said it was the best day of our vacation and we hope to return to the "Braveheart", some day soon. More...

Justin S.
I don't think I could say enough positive things about Captain Bonny and Just Sailing! My girlfriend and I had an amazing time. Captain Bonny, along with Captain Rex, met both of our needs. I wanted to get hands on and learn as much as I could. My girlfriend was more interested in enjoying the ride on what turned out to be a gorgeous day on the water. We both left satisfied! Captain Bonny and Captain Rex could talk for hours about sailing (which I loved!); however, if you want to sit back and relax and let them do the work, they'll happily oblige! I did call around and I can promise you her prices are incredibly generous. If you want to learn or just want to enjoy the day on the water, I highly recommend giving Captain Bonny and Just Sailing a call. Happy sailing! More...

The Next Nursing Class Starts August of 2019!!
Enrollment Starts (3/1/2019 - 7/18/2019)
Welcome to Gadsden Center for Health Education School of Practical Nursing website!
Gadsden Technical Institute (GTI) Practical Nursing Program was started in 1997 with an approved class limit of 20. The program was 1350 hours as required and taught by a faculty of two Masters prepared and an Associate Degree nurse. In 2011 the program policies and procedures were reviewed and evaluated to better address programmatic needs and to ensure students' successful completion, licensure and job placement. As a result the nursing program was re-structured. It remains a part of GTI, however, the program is now known as Gadsden Center for Health Education (GCHE) School of Practical Nursing. The program currently has an approved class limit of 24 students annually and consists of 1350 hours of theory and clinical education and training. At present, nursing faculty are educated nursing professionals licensed by Florida Board of Nursing.
GCHE graduates scores on the National Council Licensure Examination for Licensed Practical Nurses (NCLEX-PN) exceed both the Florida and National averages. Nursing graduates are employed in various healthcare facilities in local and surrounding areas.
Nursing is a course of study that is demanding and rewarding. It has proven to be a profession with many opportunities and a variety of work environments from which you may choose. It requires hard work but the end results will certainly be worth the effort.
The Practical Nursing website provides you with the requirements and guidelines you will need to follow for admission into the program. Please take a moment and visit other related Practical Nursing areas. Applications are accepted annually in April and can be found on the website.
Good luck to you in your future endeavors!

Written By Dan Harris, Managing Director at Cushman & Wakefield
It's a popular blog topic to remind everyone that over the last several years the U.S. Census Bureau has consistently named Dallas-Fort Worth one of the fastest-growing areas in the country. As the local job and housing markets continue to surge, more and more people are continuing to relocate to the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex.
With the continued northern growth along the North Dallas Tollway, it is now easier than ever for people to find an area in the metroplex that best fits their lifestyle and also offers strong career opportunities. In addition to the lure of no state income tax and a centralized location, the quality of life that the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex offers is unique in and of itself. Employees who move to Dallas enjoy a less expensive housing market coupled with a strong job market with a wide range of employment opportunities in different industries. For an individual city that has appealed to both individuals and corporations, look no further than Plano, which was ranked as the 4th most desirable zip code in the country due in large part to the surge of corporate businesses moving to the area such as Liberty Mutual and Toyota, but also due to its strong school district and affordable housing.
When communicating with corporations on the benefits of relocating their business, it is important to remember that much of the time you are talking about families that are ingrained in their current community, not just a single person that will be picking up and moving. Helping corporations understand the strong family-friendly communities that make up the metroplex is key when relaying the message of why the area is a great fit for companies of all shapes and sizes.
In a nutshell, Dallas is the whole package. It is widely known for being the best place for corporations, and is beginning to get appreciated for the best quality of life that it offers. There is something for everybody here and once you arrive, you'll feel right at home.
Dan Harris is a Managing Director within Cushman & Wakefield's Tenant Representation Practice Group. Mr. Harris focuses on business development and leading efforts advising clients with their office relocations and lease renewals. His expertise lies in evaluating alternative office buildings as well as negotiating restructured leases with clients in their existing facilities.

When Facebook came out with their Facebook Home announcement, I was intrigued. I am a pretty active Facebook user, so I figured this was an update/app/whatever I could get behind. Since then, we've waxed poetic about Facebook Home on many occasions. We've even demonstrated how to install in on non-approved devices worldwide.
Now, I've had some quality snuggle time with Facebook Home on my Galaxy S III. I installed in on Friday, just before the Pocketnow Live and used it up to, and including the time I'm writing this. And then I planned to remove it and never look back. Facebook Home brings a lot to the table, but also leaves a lot out. It's got a great concept with a flawed execution which is fortunately compensated for by Android itself.
The Good…
Facebook Home is a really great, really immersive experience. It is really a lot of fun flipping through my news feed, double tapping to like, and commenting straight from the lock screen. The use of the photos in the background really do bring a normally mundane status update to life and make it far more interesting. The Facebook notifications are really well done, the face drag to unlock concept is also a very nice implementation.
Chatheads, while not strictly a part of Facebook Home, was introduced at the same time as Facebook Home, so it usually follows in the same breath. ChatHeads is a wonderful piece of software in just about every way. Over the weekend, ChatHeads was the most useful and shown off feature of my Facebook Home experience.
There's always a "However" isn't there?
However, Facebook Home should have stopped at the lock screen. Because the rest, is just not for me.
The Bad…
One of Facebook Home's major flaws is in its launcher, which is ironic since Facebook Home is essentially a launcher. The problem is that, while there are customizable "Home Screens", they can only display apps. The home screens do not support folders, widgets, or web URL shortcuts. Or at least I will confirm that when I installed Facebook home, all of MY widgets, folders, and web URL shortcuts were nowhere to be found. The contents of the folders were there, scattered about in a seemingly what-would-be-the-most-inconvenient distribution.
It was, put simply, a mess.
The app launcher itself is also bare bones and boring. The list of all apps is your typical 4 column scrollable alphabetical list of apps. Which is fine except when you just launched Amazon Kindle, and then want to launch Zapper. That's right, A-Z of annoyance. Scroll….scroll….scroll….scroll….Sheesh.
All this was done so that Facebook could install a persistent Status Update/Photo Post/Check-in bar at the top of every page of the launcher. Seriously. One widget to rule them all.
Don't get me wrong. For the Facebook-aholic, this is a dream come true. I get to open my phone, see a beautiful experience with all my besties, and then with a swipe and a tap, I'm uploading my very own bathroom mirror pic! Or I can check in at Starbucks before they've even finished making my mocha. Who care about those stupid widgamijiggers? This is FACEBOOK.
Breaking up Is Hard to Do
And to a point I agree. When I decided that I would disable Facebook Home I was going to miss the lock screen part of the software. It really is a better way to Facebook. It's efficient, it's clean, it's beautiful. But the sacrifice of the launcher and all that it's baggage is too much. That is until I discovered the secret.
Truth be told, I'm not sure how much of a secret it actually is. We will actually be delivering a video showing this soon, but it turns out, you can configure your Android phone to utilize the Lock screen Facebook updates, and also use the launcher of your choice. That changed my entire outlook on the Facebook Home experiment. It's just too bad it took until the following Monday to make the discovery. I might've been nicer on twitter.
Almost, But Not Quite
Overall, Facebook Home seems like a product half finished. While the Lockscreen is a fantastic experience that immerses you into your facebook feed without feeling like it's being intrusive, the home screen/launcher strips away everything that makes Android a great operating system. It's ironic that in trying to pursue their own mission of "open and connected" they not only did not achieve open, they undid it.
On the other hand, perhaps they did achieve the "open" paradigm, intentionally or not, by allowing the "launcher loophole". But that may be more an Android thing than a Facebook thing. Either way, over the weekend, I was fully prepared to write Facebook Home off, but being able to bring the Touchwiz launcher back makes all the difference in the world, so it'll stay for as long as I'm on Android. I'll probably even do more Facebook stuff because of it, which should make Mr. Zuckerberg happy. Well played, sir.

Did you know I collect buttons? I have several large old Ball glass jars full of them. Whether I'm just across town at the local fabric shop or traveling away from home, I always seem to find a new tiny treasure.
Years ago when I was a graduate student I visited Tender Buttons in Chicago (which I understand is now closed). I was amazed that an entire shop could just sell buttons. This was in my pre-beading days, so I didn't have any idea what to do with them. I just through they were cool and I bought a handful, as did the student I dragged with me on that trip.
Even as a child I was playing with buttons. I won a prize (at some kind of fair) for one of my childhood button creations: I drew pictures on felt and then sewed the buttons on to decorate them, and put the felt pages into a 3-ring binder. One of the few designs I remember from that project was a Christmas tree—I sewed different fancy buttons on as ornaments. That to me seemed like the ultimate way to decorate.
Pictured here: A few buttons in my collection.
Given my fascination with buttons, I thought it would be fun to host a button swap (my very first time hosting a swap!) and find a few other like-minded souls.
Swap Details
1. Sign up by March 1, 2011 by posting a comment to this original post at michellemach.com/blog (not on creatingthehive, Facebook, or somewhere else). When you fill out the comment form, make sure you include your email address and your blog address. (Your email address will not be made public—it's just for me and your swap partner.) I'll email you a confirmation that I've received your info. If you haven't heard from me in a couple of days, feel free to email me (address is on my contact page).
2. I'll pair people together and send out the partners no later than March 6.
3. Choose three buttons for your partner. (You may want to email each other and see what kinds of buttons, colors, or shapes he or she would enjoy.) The buttons can be any size, shape, or material. They can have a shank on the back or be the kind with holes in the middle. The can be identical, related (similar or complementary), or completely unrelated.
I'd like to encourage you to choose at least one button that is somehow special—handmade by you or another artist, vintage, sentimental (a button with a story behind it), or otherwise unique. A button does not have to be expensive to be special. Maybe you have a button saved from a special garment or one purchased on a memorable trip that you'd like to swap. Or maybe you've embellished a regular shirt button in a new and unique way. I'll be posting some ideas for making buttons and places to buy some cool artist-made buttons.
4. Send 3 buttons to your partner by March 29. You can blog about the buttons you sent/received. It's optional (but nice).
5. Make at least one project with at least one of your button(s). Your project does not need to be jewelry—feel free to make other accessories, clothing, home decor, or anything else you can think of.
6. Blog about your project and include links to all the other people in the button swap on the reveal day April 21, 2011. (I'll send out more information about the links when it gets closer to the reveal day.)
How does that sound? Are you in?
Help Me Spread the Word
I've made some buttons (the other kind) for you to use on your blogs if you choose:
You can copy and paste these buttons for your blog and link them here:
(This is a shorter address that will redirect people to this blog post.)
If you have any questions, feel free to post them. I hope to hear from some of you soon!

Wine Sleuth Sniffs Out Fakes, Takes Hammer to Lafite
on 02/07/12 at 4:33 pmWine
Holding a bottle of 1998 Sassicaia in her left hand, Maureen Downey squints at the iconic Italian label through a large silver-rimmed magnifying glass.
It looks authentic, but is it?
We're in the chilly Vintage Wine Warehouse in Queens, New York, to find out. Downey, with streaked-blond hair, wearing jeans and flip flops that show off white polka-dotted red toenails, is one of the experts you call if you're worried your Romanee-Conti, Lafite, or Sassicaia might not be legit.
For more than a decade she's been on counterfeit high alert, first at three auction houses and now at Chai Consulting, the San Francisco-based wine collection management firm she founded in 2005.
The March 8 FBI arrest, and indictment on May 9 by a federal grand jury in New York, of alleged wine fraudster Rudy Kurniawan — a.k.a. Dr. Conti — who has sold millions of dollars' worth of rare wines at auction, have raised fears among collectors about what's actually in their cellars.
Two weeks ago, French authorities detained four executives of Burgundy negociant Laboure-Roi on suspicion of wine fraud.

Tai Chi Chuan
Traditionally understood to mean "Supreme Ultimate Fist", Tai Chi is associated with the Chinese concept of yin/yang, the duality which is believed to exist in all things. Although in the west today there is a tendency to think of Tai Chi as simply a form of moving yoga and mediation, it must be understood that it was originally conceived, and exists to the day as a highly effective martial art. In keeping with principle of duality, diligent practice leads to the enhancement of one's overall health and vitality, as well as to the development of sophisticated and highly effective self defense skills.
Of the three internal systems Tai Chi is the most subtle in both expression and application, with the goal being the development of a harmony between mind, body, and intent. On the most rudimentary level this translates into an emphasis on receiving the opponent's force and directing it back upon him/her; the central idea being to seize the advantage by enticing the opponent into a strategic overextension.
In addition to instruction in the basic form, the student also learns the use of a variety of traditional weapons. Practical skills are also developed through the practice of various levels of push hands and other two person drills. In addition the student develops skills in grappling, throwing, and seizing and locking techniques.

Ok, I understand that she is busy and does not have the time to set up the new computer. She is waiting until the home they are building is finished before they set it up. Mind you they have been building the new home for over 10 years, it might even be more then 15 years. I have no idea how much more work needs to be done, or how long it will take.
I am frustrated because I was trying to explain to her that if she has a new computer she should be using it. Also you don't buy a computer until you are ready to use it because you can get the same one for a lot less later on, or buy a better one for the same price. She is happy to have it in its box, ready for when she wants to set it up. I keep thinking about how much she spent (did not ask) and that she could have gotten a much better deal when she was ready to actually use a new computer, not store one.
I think the problem is that she is just not that into computers the way my family is. It is not a big deal to her if the computer sits there in a box for a year. She had the money so she bought it and put it aside until she is ready to use it. Computers are not a big part of her life, she just does not use computers the way my family and I use them. My kids started trying to play on the computer around 2 ½ years old. Heck, my kids have their own computers. My mom actually bought our son a laptop when he was 8. My kids use computers every day, and so do I. It is hard for me to wrap my head around having a new computer and not using it, not even opening it to make sure it works.
The real frustrating part is that I have been after her for years to do video conferencing with us so my kids can talk to her face to face, but the computer she is using is old, and is not equipped to do video conferencing (Skype). Then I find out she has a new computer sitting in a box. I just keep thinking about the time she is losing that she could have been talking face to face with her grandchildren on Skype. I have no idea how close they are to finishing the house. I don't even know if their new computer has what they need to do Skype. But as I finally emailed my Mom, it's her computer so I will shut up.
I was still frustrated so I decided to write (whine) about it to get it out of my system. It helped me see that my getting frustrated about the new computer still in a box is my issue, not hers. When she is ready she will open the computer box; that is her choice. I should just mind my own business.
I am still frustrated though. I want my kids to be able to see their Grandmother and for her to see them even if it is just on Skype. I am sure she will get around to opening up her new computer, when she is ready. I just hope she can Skype with it; that she has what she needs to do video conferencing. Mind you if it was not for my husband I would have no idea how to Skype or what I would need on my computer to do so! Thank goodness my laptop came with everything I need!
Ok, I have to laugh at myself for getting upset about my Mom not setting up her computer when I have never set one up myself. That is what my husband does, builds and fixes our computers (not laptops). I am sure if I had to I could set one up, they have extremely easy step by step instructions or come fully loaded these days. Build one, nope, but turn it on and follow what it tells me to do, that I have no problem doing. Now I am laughing at myself!

My grandmother died today – she was 97 years old and had been on the decline for some time. She had also endured a very low quality of life for years (once saying, "How long is this going to go on?"), not being able to move or read or feed or bathe herself – so her death comes more as a relief than as a shock. At work today when I told a colleague about this, they said "May her soul rest in peace".
Awkward silence followed.
I'm sure I'm not the only atheist who's faced this problem, so I thought I'd pen down my thoughts on what to say – for believers talking to atheists, as well as atheists talking to believers.
First, do say something – don't remain silent. Any awkwardness you feel is irrelevant. This is not about your feelings – it's about the feelings of the person who's lost a loved one. Even a heartfelt oh fuck – i.e. expressing shock – is better than saying nothing.
My mother died several years ago. That death was particularly raw and painful for me, as (a) she was my mother, and (b) she died of cancer and this involved suffering. I still have the emails my friends and relatives sent me back then. Here are some snippets from the emails I appreciated:
Sunil – Extremely saddened to hear about this. Both __ & I express our condolences and hope you and your dad are ok (or as ok one can get given the circumstance). Let me know when I should call you; I'm tempted to right now, but I won't. (I had asked people not to call.)
Sunil you have been so much in our thoughts these last few weeks, knowing that the news you sent this morning would finally arrive, but that death, however long expected, still comes as a terrible and painful shock. We are so very sorry.
I am just not sure what should I write to you. I am just thinking aloud with you and just trying to feel your feeling. This is what our life is, ups and downs, birth and death. Though we tell each other "we have to face it", but I can feel few things are so so very much hard to face. (This person also wrote "may her soul" etc., but there was enough substance in the email for it not to matter.)
Hi Sunil, really sorry to hear about your mom, didn't know what to write all these days. I hope you, your dad and sister are ok.
Sunil, we are very sorry. I don't have any words of condolence, I can't even imagine what you must be going through right now. You have ALL our support.
And here are 2 emails which I did NOT appreciate. Both these friends were Christians, and subsequently, I mentally "downgraded" our friendship:
Dear sunil, I know you claim to be not much of a believer in God but at this moment I don't know what else to say – may the comfort and peace of God be with you and your family during this really difficult time. Take care.
I have no idea what to say except that I would like to share with you a piece that I read out at my Nana's memorial service. Its a beautiful piece and somehow it does bring one immense solace. (The rest of the email comprised of the poem Death is Nothing at All, which offers solace by saying that there is an afterlife, and ends with the line: "How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting when we meet again!".)
So basically I think the thing to do is, express empathy and acknowledge the person's loss – that this is a horrible thing that's happened to them. That's pretty much it. What you should NOT do when giving condolences to an atheist is bring gods into it. Gods don't exist, so you're not helping us at all with that.
What about the reverse – what should an atheist say to a grieving believer? Once a colleague of mine lost their father, also to cancer. I sent them a message saying something like My condolences __, I lost my mom to cancer so I have some idea of what you're going through. They messaged back saying Thanks Sunil, let us pray for his soul. I didn't reply any further, which I think was all right – you don't need to lie about your beliefs, but you don't need to bring them up either. There is a time and place for arguments about the existence of gods, and this is not it. I heard another good example recently, from an atheist friend who was speaking to the mother of someone who had died. The mother explicitly asked if my friend was an atheist too and said that there was indeed a supernatural power. My friend didn't react to that – "I listened quietly to whatever she said". Again, I think this is the right approach.
If you have any tips on what to say and what not to say, feel free to leave them in the comments.

Prep football notes: Sac High routs Christian Brothers in playoff opener
Paul Doherty comes across to his young football team as snarling, grumpy and repetitive.
He knows it, and the veteran Sacramento High School football coach vows to keep preaching the same tired tune: Effort and accountability equal success (and a grinning coach).
After the Dragons walloped a good Christian Brothers outfit 40-0 in a Sac-Joaquin Section Division III playoff opener in Oak Park on Saturday afternoon, Doherty had his team take a knee to soak in the moment and absorb more noise.
"You think this is fun?" the coach barked. "No. This isn't fun. Winning a playoff game on the road? Now that's fun. That can be us next week. Up to you. But until you really focus, all the time, every day, we'll sputter on the road."
There was no sputtering here as the Dragons overwhelmed CBS in a meeting of onetime Metro League rivals. Sacramento (9-2) succeeded with the pass, the run, on special teams and on defense in bouncing the Falcons (8-3) on this field for the second successive playoff season. Caden Voges passed for 226 yards and four touchdowns, pushing his season totals to 3,614 yards and 49 touchdowns. The junior had touchdown strikes of 47, 6 and 13 yards to Kyron Basped, hit Deston Garrett for a 24-yard touchdown and scored on a 23-yard touchdown to earn a shot at redemption and a bit of history.
A year after winning the first playoff games in the long, mixed history of the program, the Dragons seek to up the stakes. Those three playoff games last season came on the Dragons' turf. Sacramento has never won a postseason road game, and it will play at Manteca on Friday in the second round. Manteca rolled the Dragons 49-6 in the D-III final last season in the rain.
"I know the kids think all I do is yell, but we know how good they can be," Doherty said. "Fun isn't hanging out in the locker room or winning a home game. Fun is winning on the road, championship football. Last year, we overachieved. This group hasn't achieved enough yet."
Sacramento, which led 20-0 at halftime and 40-0 after three quarters, has dominated opponents 296-0 while going 5-0 at home this fall.
Basped and Lonny Powell showed why they're two of the most dominant athletes in the section, making plays as receivers, runners and on special teams and/or defense. The only man more active than those two seniors was Pat Doherty, the coach's proud, nonstop father who serves as a team manager of sorts, be it working on the field five hours before kickoff or manning the portable water horse.
Those chores equate to fun for the elder Doherty, and he nodded as his son stressed what football fun can be.
Vintage players confess – While warming up to play Elk Grove in a D-II opener Friday night, four Vintage players were detained by Sacramento County Sheriff's Department officers for slipping into the Thundering Herd's wrestling room and stealing wallets and phones, according to Elk Grove coaches and administrators. The players initially denied the thefts, and parents vehemently defended them. Vintage coach Kyle Hoffman insisted the players fess up or the Crushers would forfeit the game and head home.
The players fessed up. The stolen equipment was found in their bags. One Vintage player was escorted off the field during warmups. The players, initially in the back seat of a Sheriff's car, were turned over to their parents. Elk Grove, extra inspired, led 34-0 after the first quarter and 62-7 at halftime and won 69-7 in rolling up nearly 700 yards of offense.
Davis players earlier this season had items stolen from their gear inside a guarded Grant dressing room. That investigation continues.
Every-down grinders – Monterey Trail has only 25 players, the norm over the years for the Mustangs, who still play big. Everyone plays. And few compete as hard as Trey Nahhas, who rushed 36 times for 243 yards and two scores and dived in for a two-point conversion in a 29-28 victory over Cosumnes Oaks in a D-I opener Friday night.
Jermaine Bell had two interceptions for 45 return yards, including the game clincher near the Monterey Trail goal line as time ran out. He also had two receptions from E.J. Viacrusis for 85 yards. Viacrusis completed 7 of 8 passes for 127 yards, ran for a score and passed for the eventual winning two-point conversion. Rodney Spidell played left offensive tackle and helped his team churn out 422 yards of offense, and he had seven tackles from his defensive-line spot.
Et cetera – Roseville had nine sacks in a 14-6 D-II loss to old Sierra Foothill League rival Del Oro on Friday. Golden Eagles coach Casey Taylor said it was "better to win ugly than lose pretty."
▪ El Dorado (10-0) frowned at its No. 8 seed in D-III but couldn't back it up, falling to Benicia 45-7 on Friday.
▪ Modesto also frowned at its No. 8 seed in D-I and lost to No. 9 Franklin 24-10 on Saturday.

If there were some small worries that last year's self-titled third album from San Franciscan psych rockers Sic Alps had smoothed some of the rougher, rawer edges off the band's gnarled output, then this 12" release probably allays some of those fears. She's On Top has one foot firmly in either Sic Alps camp, sounding professional (Mike Donovan's band has always sounded like it's on the verge of collapse) but rediscovering a power and crunch that was posted missing for a lot of the mellow-but-still-rather-good Sic Alps record.
With fellow Bay Area stalwarts Thee Oh Sees delving into more and more deranged territory, and Ty Segall slowly becoming a more polished - but no less thrilling - prospect, Donovan and co might have felt like there was a decision to be made about where Sic Alps should head next, but this release may have just provided the answers. 'She's On Top' kicks things off with a burst of extremely tightly wound mod-ish pop, as Donovan yelps the title track in various forms across the three minutes the band can actually hold things together for. 'Carrie Jean' is altogether a more glammy affair and indeed recalls David Bowie's song with "Jean" in the title – whether that's intentional or not is up for debate, but there's definitely more than a hint of 70s Bowie lurking in there.
Best of the lot, though, is final track 'Biz Bag'; mixing heads-down unhinged riffing with melodic interludes it's an exhilarating burst of (DC) hardcore-worthy passion that also manages to throw in that rarely-seen thing of beauty (outside of the west coast psych scene anyway): the excellent guitar solo. In the past it might have turned into an almighty mess, but this is Sic Alps completely in the zone, aided by some great production that's captured the live zeal of the band.
It's all over in ten minutes, yet She's On Top feels like more than a stopgap release. Whether it's two fingers up to those who doubted the quality of the band's last record, or just the sound of an act who feel comfortable with where they are right now, there's little doubt that Sic Alps have plenty more to give just yet.

Quarter 3 - A Retrospective
This quarter was the fastest so far and most hectic!
Four subjects, some of them being very attractive high-fi-turned dullest ones and some other good old ones. Principles of Marketing was one of the most awaited subjects and it didn't dissappoint me at all. The professor was too good with all fun, in-class excercises and case studies. We got the bible of marketing - Kotler :) and the professor was also special in a sense she was a disciple of Kotler during Phd :p
The subject I hated the most in this quarter was Operations Research. I don't know why, the subject seemed to me interesting in the beginning; may be Prof ;) The approach of the professor was very different. He wanted to build the basics, but it went to high mathematical stuffs! So I was completely lost and ended up in a 'C' grade ;)
Another subject from accounting, this time a better one Managerial Accounting. We were able to relate it to old engineering days. All about production, costs, budgeting, so on and so forth...The professor was very senior. I liked hearing from him about his professional experiences rather than the concepts :) With him, already 3 professors who have authored various books that is being followed in B Schools have already taught me!
The last one was Law. I wished I will be a geek in law arguing whatever I can from a legal perspective. But I was disappointed. The professor just opened the door to a never-ending world of laws and legal systems. I got a basic understanding of how our legal system works, the Constitution, so on and so forth. The guest lectures were amazing.
Thats pretty much a gist of what we had in Q4!

Smart Meters: Creating New Vulnerabilities?
RICHMOND, Va. - Over the past few years, tens of thousands of Virginians have received new wireless, digital devices from their power companies. Known as "smart meters," they transmit information about energy use to the utility.
They are delivered with the promise of improving efficiency and reliability. However, according to some consumer advocates, government studies and cyber-security experts, they also bring an increased risk of cyber-attacks and surveillance.
Movie producer Josh del Sol debuted a film online this week, "Take Back Your Power," that asks serious questions about smart-grid technology.
"Why are we creating new vulnerabilities in the grid, and then being sold the idea that this is somehow going to make the grid more stable and reliable?" del Sol asked.
Utilities insist there are firewalls against cyber-attacks, but Virginians have launched a petition opposing the mandatory installation of wireless smart meters in the state.
Some people who have had smart meters installed have also experienced health problems and fires, del Sol added.
"What we're really hoping for 'Take Back Your Power' is that it would bring attention to these issues of privacy and rights - and even the other issues of health and fires - that have to do with smart meters and the smart grid," he explained. "It would help elevate the conversation to the national level."
On its website, Dominion Virginia Power touts the benefits of smart meters, saying they allow the company to turn power on and off without sending someone out to a home, and they can automatically notify the company in case of a power outage.
More information about the film is available at www.takebackyourpower.net.

Apple Pulls Ahead of Samsung By a Nose
It's Seabiscuit vs War Admiral, Secretariat vs. Sham. Apple and Samsung have turned the smartphone war into a two-horse race.
In the fourth quarter the two handset giants were neck and neck in terms of smartphone sales. Apple sold 37 million iPhones, putting it just ahead of Samsung, which sold 36.5 million of its own smartphones. That gave Apple a 23.9% share of the smartphone market to Samsung's 23.5% share according to Strategy Analytics.
Apple had fallen behind Samsung in the third quarter as the later-than-usual release of its newest iPhone model caused many buyers to put off purchases. But it all worked out in the end. A new release, coming just in time for the holidays helped Apple set a new record for shipments. And publicity surrounding the death of Steve Jobs, just 9 days before the iPhone 4S release, may also have goosed sales.
Samsung, meanwhile, benefits by having global distribution reach second only to Nokia according to Alex Spektor of Strategy Analytics. It also has a broader portfolio of phones than Apple. The low end Galaxy Y appeals to cost-sensitive buyers while the high-end Galaxy S2 competes head-to-head with the iPhone.
What's interesting is that Apple passed Samsung without a low-end product. If Apple develops one, it could be tough to catch.


text: Let these my words, wherewith I have made supplication, ...be nigh unto the Lord our God day and night. –Solomon Solomon asked that God might not forget his prayers. The intercessions of Christ for His people are being answered in every new blessing that comes to us. When a mother pleads for her child she would have her petition kept nigh to God day and night. She would have God keep His eye ever on her boy, wherever he might be, and in whatever danger. It is a precious thought, too, that we do not need to be always reminding God of our desires for our friends, but that our prayers stay before Him, are not filed away and forgotten, as are many requests we make in places of power, but are always remembered. Even if sometimes we forget to pray, God does not forget, for He knows our heart's wishes, and will do more for us than we ask or think. We are told that God keeps our tears in His bottle – that is, He remembers our sorrows, and they are sacred to Him.

Formaldehyde is a widely used chemical in many industries and household products. This compound is used in a variety of products such as paint, adhesives, cosmetics, pharmaceutical products, wood products, disinfectants, antiseptics and tobacco. This compound is also known as methylene oxide or methylaldehyde, and it is a colorless gas with a strong and pungent odor at room temperature. Used mainly as a chemical intermediate, formaldehyde is produced on the industrial scale by the oxidation of methanol. Formaldehyde can have various side effects on humans, based on the level of exposure.
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the highest levels of airborne formaldehyde have been detected in indoor air, where it is released from various consumer items such as cleaning products, building materials and furnishings. The inhalation of air contaminated with formaldehyde may result in respiratory problems such as coughing, bronchitis, chest pains and wheezing. Acute exposure to formaldehyde via inhalation causes irritation in the eyes, throat and nasal cavities. Prolonged or chronic exposure to formaldehyde via inhalation may also lead to labored breathing and lesions in the lungs, potentially causing irreparable damage to the lungs. Professionals who work in constant contact with this compound should wear protective gear to avoid health issues associated with the prolonged handling of formaldehyde.
Formaldehyde may be present in food artificially through contamination or in nature. Ingestion of formaldehyde may cause corrosion in the gastrointestinal tract. It may also cause ulcers and inflammation in the mouth, esophagus, stomach and intestines. Severe exposure to formaldehyde through ingestion may cause abdominal pain, diarrhea and possible hemorrhage in the stomach or intestines. According to the Health Protection Agency, clinical signs include rapid breathing, yellowish discoloration of the skin, blood in the urine and kidney failure.
Skin Contact
Formaldehyde exposure to the skin can cause irritation and may burn the skin. According to the Occupational Health and Safety Agency for Healthcare in British Colombia, long-term exposure to formaldehyde can result in skin sensitization and is associated with an increased risk of cancer. Individuals with an allergy to formaldehyde are prone to have severe skin irritation; skin rash characterized by redness, cracked and dry skin; and dermatitis that may lead to scarring if left untreated. Workers who are frequently exposed to formaldehyde through the skin commonly develop allergies to the substance. This is because formaldehyde is a skin sensitizer, and once a person is sensitized to formaldehyde, contact with even a small amount of formaldehyde in any form can cause an outbreak of dermatitis.

In 1964, Martin Luther King Jr. received an anonymous letter which began: "In view of your low-grade, abnormal personal behavior I will not dignify your name with either a Mr. or a Reverend or a Dr. And your last name calls to mind only the type of King such as King Henry the VIII and his countless acts of adultery and immoral conduct lower than that of a beast." The letter was written by the first director of the FBI, J. Edgar Hoover. Using a wiretap of King's office, hotel room and home, Hoover had discovered the minister's involvement in extramarital affairs and was attempting to use the information to force King out of power.
This entire blackmail scheme was enacted legally. The attorney general at the time personally signed off on the warrant because, in the eyes of the government, Martin Luther King was not a nonviolent protestor for civil rights. He was a threat to national security.
Today, the FBI wouldn't even need a warrant. All the information necessary is harvested for them for free by Silicon Valley companies, namely Facebook and Google. The government wouldn't need a warrant because all that information already exists in a new sphere, the Internet, which has yet to be effectively regulated by law in the U.S. With virtually no legal guidelines, American tech businesses can collect large quantities of consumer information and use it however they like. The U.S. government can then harvest that information from the servers of these businesses. The Patriot Act, which was passed in response to 9/11, gave the government sweeping authority to spy on citizens. An NSA program titled PRISM, unearthed as part of the Snowden leaks, mines that data specifically from major Internet companies. While Silicon Valley businesses may collect data for the relatively harmless purpose of advertising, the centralization of the data itself is dangerous. Facebook, Google and similar tech companies are well aware of that fact, but have decided to ignore it.
The current reality of Silicon Valley, great power without repercussions, eerily resembles the unregulated world of Wall Street in the 1920s. In recent years, San Francisco has surpassed New York City as home to the most expensive real estate in the country. People picture the tech industry as a young, liberal hub with hammock-adorned campuses and nerdy college grads creating AI robots. But in truth, Silicon Valley is yet another breeding ground for wealthy (mostly) white men whose shortsighted actions produce repercussions the rest of us bear the brunt of. The difference is that instead of taking our money, these companies take our privacy. And though many people claim privacy shouldn't matter if you're doing nothing wrong, they should consider that the consumers aren't the ones defining 'wrong.'
Many people see tech businesses like Google differently than they see the firms on Wall Street largely because these businesses used to be different, or at least claimed to be. Google's first unofficial slogan was "Don't be evil." They pitted themselves against the profit-driven model that big businesses recklessly follow, and it was largely everyday people who invested in their IPO, not the wealthiest in America. Google claimed they were a tool for everyone and would therefore fight for everyone. But they are a profit-driven business and they make that money largely by farming data from users. It is no exaggeration to say that every single action you take through Google—your searches, emails, calendars—is stored and sold for the purpose of customized advertising. Last year, the six biggest Silicon Valley companies spent a total of $44 million on federal lobbying to keep the creation of Internet privacy laws at bay. Out of those six, Google spent the most.
What's more, Google's data harvesting directly enables surveillance and censorship regimes around the world. Take Google's relationship with China. In the mid-2000s, when Google first arrived on mainland China, the corporation censored citizen's search results in compliance with demands from the Chinese government. This meant no results would show if you searched, for example, "Guo Quan," the name of a famous Chinese activist who once wrote: "To make money, Google has become a servile Pekinese dog wagging its tail at the heels of the Chinese Communists." In 2010, Google claimed they would not stand for censorship any longer and moved off mainland China. However, this move seems suspect, considering that the company had been happily censoring their services for years. Some suggest that Google moved because they were scared. The Chinese government had hacked their servers to access the Gmail accounts of a few Chinese activists, and Google didn't want a spotlight on their faulty security.
Google's power is data. They weren't going to give up the information of Chinese Internet users, a population more than twice that of U.S. Internet users, so easily. Google Analytics, a service that many websites use to collect data, stayed on the Chinese mainland. If an individual accesses a website with Google Analytics, a cookie is inserted in their browser that Google (and therefore China) can use to track them. Businesses like Google argue that they have a right to users' information because they store data in exchange for a service. But, in this case, Google wasn't even providing a service to the Chinese.
Recently Google has fully returned to mainland China, claiming that their new encryption of Internet searches defends against surveillance. However, encryption hardly means anything as long as Google Analytics still exists. All of this is at a time when a Black Mirror-esque reality is in the works for the Chinese people. BBC news has reported that the Chinese government may be working to create a social credit system which would rate the trustworthiness of every citizen and would be used to revoke privileges from and assign higher surveillance to certain individuals. They would create the metric by compiling all the data the government has on a person—from tickets for running a red light to criticizing the ruling Chinese Comunist Party online—into a single number.
Of course the surveillance state exists in the U.S., too. Thanks to Edward Snowden, many now know (though seem unconcerned) that the NSA participates in an international surveillance alliance called Five Eyes, made up of Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the U.K. and the U.S. Facebook feeds much of that surveillance alliance, which is especially worrisome in light of the social media giant's facial recognition software "DeepFace," which tags users in photos automatically. DeepFace is 98 percent effective and can recognize an individual's hairstyle and body language as well as facial features. It could be used to create a photo-searchable database of Facebook users (meaning any stranger could take a picture of you and find you on the Internet). Facebook claims to allow users to opt-out of the automatic tagging service, but the opt-out only means they won't use the service to tag you in a photo, not that they won't still use manually tagged photos to map your face.
The feature was shut down in Europe due to privacy concerns. In the U.S. only one state, Illinois, has argued that the software is illegal. Illinois passed a law in 2008 called the Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA), which sets limits on how companies can store and use a person's biometric data, which includes things like fingerprints, voiceprints, iris scans and facial structures. Facebook dismissed the law, literally. In response, the people of Illinois brought a class action lawsuit against the company. In response, Facebook filed a "motion to dismiss" their concerns. However, the courts did not allow Facebook off the hook so easily. The case is currently in litigation. Facebook's argument is based on a technicality: if they are using a generic facial recognition algorithm rather than storing individual facial information, then they aren't in violation of BIPA. In the meantime, the FBI has already employed DeepFace technology on multiple occasions.
U.S. citizens don't often think about surveillance until something unforeseeable happens, like the assassination of an activist, a war breaking out or the election of an unpredictable commander-in-chief. The scariest part of Facebook's advances in facial recognition software is that Trump has expressed interest in using facial recognition software to track immigrant and Muslim communities. Many states are trying to pass legislation that will keep Trump from using their public data records to target vulnerable communities, but most data on citizens in the U.S. is stored not in government offices but in giant servers belonging to Facebook, Google and others. The nature of online data collection is unsafe: even highly-encrypted information can be accessed by anyone with the technical know-how. And government agencies like the FBI certainly have that know-how. As Daniel Miessler, a technology blogger and information security professional, tweeted in regards to the Trump presidency: "This is why you don't build secretive, all-powerful surveillance tools. You never know who's going to get the keys."
As Silicon Valley companies attract more and more users, the data that government surveillance agencies can access will only increase in detail and quantity. Take Google as an example. Since 2010, Google has bought a company a week, including many that produce technologies that further invade our privacy. These include facial recognition systems, mapping, wearable devices (like glucose-sensing contact lens or GoogleGlasses) and "the Internet of Things," which are in-home devices that will be connected to the Internet, like smart refrigerators or intelligent washing machines. Even if the information these devices collect does not end up in the hands of the government, it is still troubling how much power this gives companies like Google.
Social media sites regularly manipulate our newsfeeds for experimental purposes. Every member of Facebook has been a guinea pig in one experiment or another. In 2012, for three months prior to Election Day, Facebook changed the News Feeds of 1.9 million people, and in doing so claimed to increase voter turn out within that population by three percent. While that may not seem so daunting a statistic, it is frightening to think of the immense impact Facebook could have on the election if they decided to fully use their capabilities. Without regulations on what these companies are allowed to do, users can only hope they will remain on their side. But given the overriding concern with profit margins, this hope may be baseless. Silicon Valley businesses are already opaque about what data they collect and how they use it. Nowhere on any Google or Facebook site does it clearly lay out what information they take from users and where they send it. In 2015, Google actually reorganized and changed their name to Alphabet, a giant conglomerate under which Google is just one facet, in order to further expand.
When looking into the privacy and surveillance in the U.S., many come to realize most Internet users are apathetic about security. The question is not why we should care about our privacy but why we don't. Even though many are aware of the extent of data being collected, it seems unlikely anyone is planning a massive sit-in in Silicon Valley's equivalent of Zucotti Park. Maybe we don't care about privacy because it's not a human right—at least not in the same way food or water or shelter is. When we consider that humanity used to live without walls, or that the popularization of silent reading was once a radical advancement in privacy, then it becomes hard to see privacy as a fundamental part of being human. As the 19th century journalist E.L. Godkin put it, "privacy is a distinctly modern product." It is inherently modern because the need for privacy has always come directly out of technological advances. The first record of the 'Right to Privacy' appeared in the Harvard Law Review in 1890 regarding the invention of the camera. The rise of the first U.S. surveillance organization, Black Chamber, grew out of the creation of that same telegraph.
But while privacy may have been invented, it was invented for a reason. Surveillance is an inherently oppressive power, and privacy is the defense against it. In today's world of the Silicon Valley technology boom, the state of surveillance grows exponentially faster than humanity's ability to appreciate and recognize the necessity of a right to privacy. We like to believe we would take action if the worst were to happen, but the worst may have already happened: the NSA created a worldwide surveillance organization that mines data from our social media accounts and President Trump has full access to it. If this scares us, we need to start caring about our privacy. The first step is to see Google, Facebook and the rest for who they are: thieves.
Part of the Ritual Issue

When nine doctors tell you you are going to die, most people would say you are in denial if you refuse to believe them. But the case of Stamatis Moraidis is proof that terminal cancer need not be fatal. When he was diagnosed in 1976 he was living in the US where he had originally gone on the Queen Elizabeth to treat the arm injury sustained during combat in WW2. He ended up staying, moving from New York to Florida and marrying a Greek-American woman. They had three children, owned a three-bedroomed home and a 1951 Chevrolet. Then in his mid-60s he began having trouble climbing the stairs, and was diagnosed with lung cancer. When he was told he only had nine months to live, instead of undergoing the aggressive chemotherapy that would have given him a few more months before dying anyway, he decided it would be nicer to die under the olive trees of Ikaria, the Greek island where he grew up.
"At the time it was very expensive to have a funeral in the US," he remembered. "So I said to my wife 'I'm going home to Ikaria to be buried with my parents.'"
His parents were, however, still alive, and his father lived until he was reportedly 117. Once back in Ikaria, Stamatis spent most of his day in bed and his old friends started coming to see him, chatting and drinking wine together. After a while he felt a bit better. He started going to his old church, planted vegetables and worked in the vineyards and olive groves, played backgammon and dominos in the evenings and savoured the good life of the countryside, preparing to live his last months with his beloved wife Alice.
Ikaria is one of the world's blue zones. Its inhabitants live on average 10 years longer than other Westerners. 2.5 times as many people reach the age of 90 as in the US. Six out of 10 of people aged over 90 are still physically active including, they claim, sexually active compared with about 20% elsewhere. Science is trying to work out why. The island has fresh air, a slow pace of life, fresh food, goat's milk, mountainous terrain to keep you fit and natural radiation in the rock, all of which have been suggested as the island's own elixirs. The islanders eat fish and vegetables and not much meat.
"It's the wine," Stamatis would say over a mid-morning glass at his kitchen table. "It's pure, nothing added. The wine they make commercially has preservatives. That's no good. But this wine we make ourselves is pure. I found my friends in the village where I was born, and we started drinking. I thought, at least I'll die happy. Every day we got together, we drank wine, and I waited. Time passed by and I felt stronger. Nine months came – I felt good. Eleven months came – I felt better. And now, 45 years later, I'm still here! A few years ago I went back to the US and tried to find my doctors. But I couldn't find them. They were all dead."
Many older people make a daily brew of mountain tea from dried herbs such as sage, thyme, mint and chamomile, and sweeten it with honey from local bees. "It cures everything," claimed Stamatis. Many of the wild herbs are used by people all over the world as traditional remedies. They are rich in antioxidants and also contain diuretics which can lower blood pressure.
So what did Stamatis do to cure himself of a fatal disease?
1. He stayed positive. Instead of giving up, he decided to do something he really wanted – go back to Ikaria, away from the people who were telling him he was doomed.
2. He met up with old friends and spent much of his day socialising. He said this made him happy. On Ikaria, levels of depression and dementia are low and older people have a role in society.
3. He took mid-day naps. For the workers among us this means making sure we relax at regular intervals. Driving ourselves constantly will wear out our bodies and minds. Meditation as often as we can do it is best, but also massage, walks, gentle exercise, swimming etc.
4. He ate fresh food.
5. He gave up heavy smoking.
6. He worked on the farm, making himself useful. In fact, studies have linked early retirement to reduced life expectancy. In Okinawa, another community where many people live to be older than 100, people embrace the notion of ikigai — "the reason for which you wake up in the morning."
7. He believed that the wine and the local herbal tea were doing him good – belief is a strong factor in life extension and good health. Spiritually minded people think this is because the mind affects the body; practical people believe the placebo effect induces the all-important stress-relieving relaxation response.
8. He attended church again. Spirituality and a belief in the transcendent have been linked to long life.
9. He exercised regularly – working in the fields and walking up and down the steep paths of the island.
10. He felt he had come home and fitted in. Research has proved that being part of a nurturing community, especially one with a healthy lifestyle, is more important to good health than quitting smoking or starting to exercise.
Stamatis finally died on 3 Feb 2013 officially aged 98. His documents put his date of birth as 1 January 1915; however, even relatively recently in Greece rural births were not registered until well afterwards. It depended when the parents could get to the town hall. The fact his birthday is recorded as 1 January is strong evidence he was right in claiming this was not his real birth date and that he was older, especially in a culture where name days rather than birthdays have significance. Even today countless third world immigrants to the developed world give their birthday as 1 January, since they do not know their real one.
It is our conviction that there are hundreds of stories like this one around the world. The body has an incredible capacity to heal itself. Ageing can be reversed, and so can terminal disease.
