Whatcom County farms offer freshness, superior quality
By Tara Nelson
For delicious hand-made artisan cheese, north Whatcom County residents have little reason to look further than their own backyard.
For three generations, the Snook family at Pleasant Valley Dairy has been making Gouda in a dizzying array of delicious varieties including cumin, jalepeno, fine herbs and peppercorn; as well as a tangy Farmstead cheese; a Mutshli, or a Swiss-style cheese with a mild and nutty flavor; and a raw milk applewood smoked cheese on their bucolic 70-acre farm just south of Birch Bay on Kickerville Road.
Milk for the cheeses come from a herd of about 50 rBST-free and pasture-raised Brown Swiss, Jersey, Holstein, Hereshire, Dutch Belted and Guernsey cows that spend most of their days contently ruminating in a lush field on a green rolling hill behind their home.
The curds are then pressed into plastic molds and cured in a salt brine before being dipped in wax and aged.
George Train, a former paratrooper for the U.S. Army of Swedish descent, bought the farm in 1963 while looking for a way to support his family after leaving the military. He and his wife began making cheeses at the kitchen table of their home until operation grew too costly and he was forced to take up other means of employment with the Alcoa-Intalco aluminum plant in Ferndale.
It wasn't until Alcoa sent Train to France on a business trip that he witnessed the variety of artisan cheese shops and came back with a renewed determination to make his business thrive.
On his return, Train talked to heads of different agricultural universities, but received the most help from an Oregon State University professor who gave him a book on cheese making and told him to "go for it."
"The other county extensions offices of state universities were not looking forward to some renegade cheese maker out in Whatcom County," said Train's daughter Joyce Snook, who now runs the farm with her grown children, Mattie, 22, and Seth, 24. "They were afraid of dairy products that were unpasteurized."
Train teamed up with another Ferndale resident – Jack Appel – but the two parted ways soon after, with Appel opening Appel Farms in Ferndale and Train opening Pleasant Valley Dairy. Snook said Appel wanted a more large-scale business and Train wanted something simple that adhered to the traditional methods.
"He wanted a simple cheese, something that didn't need pasteurization and was easy to make, even without electricity," she said.
Train retired in 2006, but he still lives on a small parcel of land adjoining the farm. He is also the family expert go-to for advice.
Up until last year, the farm was known as one of the few local dairies that sold raw, unpasteurized milk, which is considered by USDA to be less safe than pasteurized milk, but is revered by many for its nutritional benefits. Those benefits include better calcium absorption and the presence of enzymes that aid in digestion. Some of those components include CLAs or conjugated linoleic acid, a fatty acid that has been shown to aid in weight loss.
Snook said although the farm has never had a customer get sick from its milk, they stopped sales because of the cumbersome and expensive licensing process.
The transition has also given the family more time to concentrate on the art of making cheese, the sales for which have skyrocketed in the past few years as Americans' tastes become more developed.
Snook said they also began producing traditional Norwegian cheese called "Noekkelost" in 2002 after a suggestion by Everybody's Store owner Jeff Margolis, of Van Zandt. The cheese is flavored with cumin, caraway and cloves and is traditionally eaten during the Christmas season.
Out on the farm, Mattie wears typical farm attire – a t-shirt, pants, knee-high rubber boots and a bandana keeping her hair back.
She knows most of the cows by name, or at least she has a few favorites, pointing to a large Brown Swiss named Beth delicately scratching her ear with her back hoof. Another cow – a black Dutch Belted heifer with a large white stripe – is affectionately called "Oreo."The farm has little resemblance to the massive confined feedlots typical of large dairy operations. The small-scale combined with a burgeoning demand for locally produced food has made business tough to keep up with. It could mean closing the on-site retail shop for a few weeks in the summer to build up enough stock.
"We can't make anymore cheese and we're selling out like crazy," Mattie said. "But we get the best milk when they eat grass and it makes the best cheese. I guess grandpa knew what he was doing."
The farm's retail shop is open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday and is located at 6804 Kickerville Road in Ferndale. Their phone number is 366-5398.
Other local dairies
Grace Harbor Farms
Birch-Bay-Lynden Road
Grace and Tim Lukens, owners of Grace Harbor Farms, a small 55-dairy goat operation in Custer maintain one of only a few licenses in Washington State to sell raw, unpasteurized grade 'A' goat milk products. Grace Harbor Farms sells a variety of cheeses, yogurt and milk.
Edaleen Dairy
9593 Guide Meridian, Lynden
Following H Street Road just east of Blaine brings one to Edaleen Dairy of Lynden. The farm has locally-produced milk and award-winning ice cream. Edaleen cows produce milk "free of added growth hormones." Their store is located at 9593 Guide Meridian.
Appel Farms
6605 Northwest Rd., Ferndale
Gouda cheeses (including mild, sharp, aged and smoked varieties. Flavored varieties include cumin, jalapeno, black pepper, sweet red pepper and garden herb). Appel Farms is one of a few dairies that produce Quark and the mild Indian cheese Paneer and Quark.

This Saturday night, the Ultimate Fighting Championship will make its FOX network television debut with Cain Velasquez (9-0, 7-0 UFC) putting his heavyweight title on the line against the challenger, Junior Dos Santos (13-1, 7-0 UFC). It's going to be a great night for fight fans as this event will finish an hour before Manny Pacquiao is set to square off against Juan Manuel Marquez.
It's hard to imagine a more perfect match-up for the first fight in the historic, seven-year partnership between FOX and the UFC, as these are two very special fighters entering the primes of their careers. I will break the action down in terms of each fighters' strengths, the unknowns heading into the fight and the match-up, specific to one another. Finally, I will predict a winner.
Velasquez has made a name for himself through his world-class wrestling ability, his other-worldly work ethic and cardio, and a developing, technically-sound kickboxing game. He is well above-average in his quickness wrestling and an above-average athlete for a heavyweight. He has finished eight out of the nine fights in his career through ground and pound and striking.
Velasquez was a two-time All-American wrestler at Arizona State University and in the Octagon, he has man-handled the heavyweight division, demonstrating relentless take-downs, top control and ground and pound. His wrestling, in combination with his cardio, make him a bad match-up for any style of fighter because he can control whether the fight remains standing or on the ground. If he chooses to take the fight to the ground, he has almost no equal. He has used his wrestling to dominate Ben Rothwell and Cheick Kongo on the ground, and when he won the title against Brock Lesnar, he did so by keeping the fight standing.

The man who police say opened fire inside a Phoenix office complex was found dead at a popular shopping center less than 24 hours after the shooting.
A landscaper at Mesa Riverview found the body of Arthur Harmon under some bushes just before 8 a.m. Thursday. He had shot himself.
911 caller: "There's somebody dead right here. He's laying down on the floor. I think he shot himself because he's carrying his gun."
Police say Harmon shot three people during a mediation hearing Wednesday morning. He killed the owner of a Scottsdale-based business, critically wounded an attorney, and shot a woman in her wrist.
The attorney, Mark Hummels, is not expected to survive. His family has spent the last two days there saying their final goodbyes.
CEO Steve Singer was pronounced dead at the hospital Wednesday. A third victim was hit on the hand by a stray bullet and will be ok.
Singer and Harmon were involved in a bitter legal dispute, and Hummels was representing Singer's company. They were meeting for a settlement conference at the office building when police say Harmon opened fire.
A friend and coworker of Hummels described him as a rising star. Hummels worked for the law firm, Osborn Maledon.
Hummels finished first in his class at the University of Arizona Law School, and finished first on the Arizona bar exam. He was a clerk for an Arizona Supreme Court Justice, and has undergraduate degrees from UC Berkeley and Colorado College.
Bill Maledon, a senior partner, said Hummels was more than a gifted attorney -- he was a kind and caring husband and father of two young kids.
"A son who's seven years old and a daughter who's nine years old, and they are still trying to comprehend the impending loss of their father. It's impossible to explain to them, I'm sure they will never quite understand it, we too will never be able to understand why it happened and never make sense of it but we will always remember Mark," said Maledon.
"The gentlest, smartest, most decent person that I think any of us can recall. A wonderful lawyer, a wonderful father, a wonderful husband and kind of a goofy guy. He rode a unicycle and played the harmonica, he was a great swimmer, he was a great person and is a great person," said Judge Andrew Hurwitz, Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
"None of us can do anything and none of us can help right now and we all feel sort of helpless."
Before Hummels practiced law he was a reporter at the Santa Fe New Mexican newspaper.
Maledon said they will honor Mark Hummels in the coming days, but those plans are not set.
The third victim is believed to have been an unintended victim of Harmon.
32-year-old Nichole Hampton was shot in the hand. She was walking into the building's main lobby, where she works, when she saw men running.
"One of them said 'he's got a gun' and then I heard shots firing. And then I ran the opposite direction," says Hampton.
A stray bullet tore through Hampton's left wrist. She was worried the gunman would keep shooting.
"I mean the first thing I thought of was this is it -- this is the end. I really thought that I was going to die."
Hampton ran into the closest suite to escape the gunfire and was surprised the first person to open the door also had a gun.
"He whipped out a gun -- which I first thought oh gosh -- there's multiple gunmen everywhere. But no, he was a good guy and he had a gun and he said 'this is why I carry a gun.'"
Hampton says she could hear the chaos going on all around the building while she and the people in the suite hid in a small closet. They were worried he could be going office to office.
"I know that it wasn't meant for me. I wasn't afraid for myself, I was more afraid of what else could he do?"
About 100 yards away from where Harmon's body was found Thursday morning, officers found his rented Kia Optima parked in the Bass Pro parking lot just south of the 202.
Phoenix detectives searched the car, and pulled out a lot of clothes and a few guns -- including an AR-15 assault rifle. They also found ammunition.
It's not clear why Harmon chose to go there or how long he waited before turning the gun on himself. Police found a handgun near Harmon's body, but at this point, they don't know if it's the same gun used in the office shooting.
The white Kia has since been removed from the parking lot.

Creating Cultured Criminals?
Topics: Arts & Media, Crime & Justice, Education, Health & Science, Religion & Society, Restorative Justice
Actually vocational training may be more practical then cultural training. I have heard that some have been known to commit crimes and deliberately get caught, just to get back to prison because they aren't trained to earn a living.
Yeah, I like the job training offered in prisons. Rehabilitation *can* work for those who want to change.
How about "they make busy criminals". Who are busy doing other things besides telling stories of their crimes. That at least has some advantage.

› US drone strike in Somalia kills top al-Shabaab explosives expert, according to officials
October 29th, 2013
› US drone strike in Somalia kills top al-Shabaab explosives expert, according to officials
October 29th, 2013
› Six-month update: US covert actions in Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia (7/1/2013) | The Bureau of Investigative Journalism
› Genocide Toll in Somalia Revised Upward | Glen Ford
A new study shows that twice as many people died in 2011, in Somalia, than previously reported. The British government had estimated that between 50,000 and 100,000 Somalis succumbed to hunger during the great drought, but the new study concludes that 260,000 died, half of them under the age of six.
As usual, corporate media coverage of the mass starvation puts the blame on the Shabaab fighters who have been resisting the United States and its allies' war against the Somali people when, in fact, the death toll represents an American crime against humanity; just one chapter in an ongoing genocide that began in December, 2006. That's when the U.S. and Ethiopia invaded Somalia to overthrow a broad-based Islamic Courts government that had defeated warlords supported by the United States. The savage assault from air, land and sea created what UN observers described as "the worst humanitarian crisis in Africa." It was a bloodbath engineered in George Bush's Washington, and which has continued under President Obama.
The initial cause of the holocaust was not drought, but the savage slaughter of civilians by the invading Ethiopians and the resultant collapse of Somali agriculture. Mogadishu, the capital city, was put under a siege that would last for half a decade, while civilians were chased across the countryside by Ethiopian armor and bombed by U.S. aircraft. The United Nations Children's Fund representative for Somalia spoke of the "dirtiness" of a conflict in which "children are the real target."
Nevertheless, in the first years the war did not go well for Washington, whose Ethiopian allies who were forced to withdraw from much of the country after heavy losses. The Americans then turned to mass starvation as a weapon of war – a calculated act of genocide.
By late 2009, the U.S. began withholding food aid to the humanitarian relief agencies on which half of Somalis in the south and central parts of the country depended for survival, endangering three million people. The main sources of food were warehouses under U.S. control in neighboring Kenya, but the Americans drastically restricted the flow, complaining that too much food was going to Shabaab fighters. In effect, the U.S. tried to break the resistance by starving out the people – a genocide by any legal definition. By early 2011, the worst drought in decades was gripping the region, adding a natural layer of disaster to the manmade catastrophe that had begun in late 2006.
The scale of the horror was tremendous, made worse by the escalation of war and the entrance of Kenya into the carnage as an American client. Yet, the British claimed that only 50,000 to 100,000 died, and the United States declined to produce any official estimate. Finally, six and a half years after the U.S. plunged Somalia into hell, international officials are admitting that at least a quarter of a million people perished during just one period of the U.S.-backed invasion – all of them on President Obama's watch.
The United States is an infernal killing machine, no matter the color of the criminal in the White House.
› 'There's No Turning Back': My Interview With a Hunted American Jihadist | Spencer Ackerman
Omar Hammami, the most prominent American jihadi left alive, probably should be running. When Hammami came to Somalia for jihad in 2006, he never anticipated that al-Qaida's local affiliate would pledge to kill its former propaganda asset. And last month, the U.S. government put a $5 million bounty on the head of the 28-year-old Alabama native. These could be the last moments of Hammami's life.
But Hammami tells Danger Room in an extremely rare and exclusive interview that he's staying put. From an undisclosed location in Somalia, he grows vegetables, helps his wives around the house, and trolls his one-time colleagues in al-Shebab on Twitter, his newfound passion. As @abumamerican, he's tweeting his ongoing jihad in 140-character installments, and is happy to debate it with U.S. national security professionals. Uniquely among jihadis, Hammami shoots the breeze with the people whose job it is to study and even hunt people like him.
That's caused a cognitive and emotional dissonance within U.S. counterterrorism circles. Several openly say they like the charismatic Hammami, who's quick with a joke and a touch of irony. Their Twitter interactions with him have led to a worry about his well-being, and a dim hope that maybe, just maybe, they can convince Hammami to give up a path that seems to promise a violent and imminent end. "It's just a process of talking about what it is he believes and trying to understand it," says J.M. Berger, Hammami's main interlocutor, "and seeing if there's an escape hatch for him from this life."
That natural, human affection for Hammami risks obscuring something basic: Hammami isn't looking for an escape hatch. He's broken with al-Shebab, not jihad. "I believe in attacking u.s. Interests everywhere," he tells me, through Twitter's direct message function, the only means through which he consented to a week-long running interview. "No 2nd thoughts and no turning back." Sentiments like that make it likely that Hammami will be the next American killed in a U.S. drone strike. [continue]
› March 2013 Update: US covert actions in Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia | The Bureau of Investigative Journalism
Two strikes hit Pakistan, ending a month-long pause between attacks.
There were no reported US drone strikes in Yemen in March, marking the longest pause between covert attacks in three years.
No strikes were again recorded in Somalia.
That's goodish news. Maybe Obama and Brennan finally realized they took the drone program too far? (or maybe they're just biding their time until they get the "legal" cover they need to continue the program).
In other news, the frequency of drone strikes in Afghanistan is increasing.
› US, West Chasing Non-Threats in Africa
As the France-led military intervention in Mali enters its second week, a growing chorus of Western governments, from Britain to the US, are voicing strong support for it by systematically exaggerating the threat posed by militants in Africa's Sahel region.
"Washington inevitably and automatically magnifies every hiccup internationally into a threat, mobilizing massive resources that lead to the proverbial flea being smashed with a sledge hammer," writes former CIA analyst and Antiwar.com columnist Phil Giraldi.
"The fall of Timbuktu to extremists who have a local agenda does not actually threaten the United States and the ability of such groups to strike the U.S. is nil, so one might well plausibly decide that Washington has no real interest in Mali at all," Giraldi adds.
Still, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton described the intervention in Mali as a response to "a very serious, ongoing threat" posed by militants allegedly associated with al Qaeda.
"We are in for a struggle but it is a necessary struggle. We cannot permit northern Mali to become a safe haven," Clinton insisted.
The militants in Mali – with no stated or implicit intent to attack the US – are not the only non-threat Washington has been chasing in Africa: al-Shabab in Somalia is one of the most prominent scare stories.
"The group poses no direct threat to the security of the United States," writes Malou Innocent, Foreign Policy Analyst at the Cato Institute. "However, exaggerated claims about the specter of al Qaeda could produce policy decisions that exacerbate a localized, regional problem into a global one."
Even the Obama administration has quietly acknowledged the fact that military involvement in Somalia may create more problems than it solves, with one administration official telling the Washington Post last year there is a "concern that a broader campaign could turn al-Shabab from a regional menace into an adversary determined to carry out attacks on U.S. soil."
The Nigerian group Boko Haram, although weak and ineffectual, is also an inflated threat on Washington's radar. A Congressional report issued at the very beginning of December said "Boko Haram has quickly evolved and poses an emerging threat to US interests and the US homeland."
But Patrick Meehan, chairman of the US Congressional committee that drew up the report, said "While I recognize there is little evidence at this moment to suggest Boko Haram is planning attacks against the [US] homeland, lack of evidence does not mean it cannot happen."
Washington's interest in Africa goes back at least to 2007, when the Pentagon's AFRICOM was formed, long before rebels in Libya or militants in Mali were a threats to exaggerate.
The dominant way of thinking in Washington is that the US should be involved in every corner of the planet, and the pressure to always "do something" is intense.
But as Micah Zenko, a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations recently commented with regards to the intervention in Mali, "Some things that happen on the other 94% of the earth that isn't the US, has nothing to do with the US, nor requires a US response."

So far, the UK and Sweden have illustrated their intentions to cooperate fully with the United States in rendering Muslim men even with insufficient evidence. Is Julian Assange paranoid to believe that if he were to leave the Ecuadorian Embassy, where he has sought refuge after having been granted political asylum, he would easily be whisked to the United States with the cooperation of the Swedish and British governments?
Swedish Government Lodges No Protest in the Rendition of 2 Swedish Citizens
› Obama's Embrace of Rendition & the Appearance of Three Men with Somali Roots in Federal Court | Kevin Gosztola
[The] three men picked up in Somalia are wanted for fighting in a group that the US has designated as a "terrorist organization" against forces backed by the US. There is no evidence of the time that they plotted any attacks or were coming to America with al-Shabaab fighters intent on carrying out some kind of nefarious plot. This means a court is going to try and prosecute these men essentially for being on what the US government considers to be the wrong side of a conflict in Somalia.
The FBI claims they were on their way to Yemen. Suppose they were, in fact, headed to Yemen and headed to fight alongside militants, they would be facing charges that stem from the suspicion that they would be fighting on the wrong side of the conflict in Yemen and against US interests.
The involvement of British and Swedish agents or intelligence agencies is unknown, but it appears these men were being tracked. They would not submit to the agenda of the US national security state and consequently were swept up, sent to Djibouti, held in detention and disappeared and then, after being indicted secretly, moved from Djibouti to New York.
And, if it is true the men are being charged for their engagement in militant activities or intent to engage in militant activities that the US considers terrorism, then the Obama administration should have to reconcile this with the use of drones to extrajudicially assassinate people.
Why didn't the Obama administration just attack these men with a drone and report them as "militants" who needed to be turned into bugsplat?
Writer Falguni Sheth explored this question:
Why suddenly render these three Somalis to the US and have them appear publicly in a NY Federal Court? If they were "accidentally" killed, there might be a small roar of protest, but the US government has stood tall in the face of much worse uproars. Most likely, it is useful to make a public example of them to ordinary Muslim migrants who are interested in sending money to relatives or for charitable purposes, in the face of dubious restrictions. It has been a standard practice for the Obama Administration to prosecute Muslims for charitable donations, as the family of Dr. Shakir Hamoodi and members of the Holy Land Foundation will attest.
It definitely is a question to keep in mind as the case unfolds. This case could stir a lot of controversy internationally yet successfully prosecuting the men would send a clear message to Somali communities or any other individuals who might dare to be on the wrong side of US operations or involvement in foreign countries, especially in poor Middle Eastern or African countries.
› Renditions continue under Obama, despite due-process concerns | Washington Post
The three European men with Somali roots were arrested on a murky pretext in August as they passed through the small African country of Djibouti. But the reason soon became clear when they were visited in their jail cells by a succession of American interrogators.
U.S. agents accused the men — two of them Swedes, the other a longtime resident of Britain — of supporting al-Shabab, an Islamist militia in Somalia that Washington considers a terrorist group. Two months after their arrest, the prisoners were secretly indicted by a federal grand jury in New York, then clandestinely taken into custody by the FBI and flown to the United States to face trial.
The secret arrests and detentions came to light Dec. 21 when the suspects made a brief appearance in a Brooklyn courtroom.
The men are the latest example of how the Obama administration has embraced rendition — the practice of holding and interrogating terrorism suspects in other countries without due process — despite widespread condemnation of the tactic in the years after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. [++]

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton: "I am not a military strategist, but I think I know enough to say air strikes [in Somalia] would not be a good idea and we have absolutely no reason to believe anyone, certainly not the United States, is considering that." (Press Availability on the London Conference, Feb. 23, 2012.)
Hours after America's chief diplomat said this, U.S. Joint Special Operation Command conducted a drone strike — confirmed by two U.S. officials — against vehicles in a convoy in southern Somalia, killing between four and seven suspected militants.
› Statelessness, Renditions and Making Examples of Muslims: The Case of Mahdi Hashi | Translation Exercises
The world found nothing sacred in the abstract nakedness of being human.
–Hannah Arendt (1951)
When President Obama famously signed the executive order to end torture, he did not also sign an order to end the practice of renditions that had also become popular during the Bush Era. I suppose it is one of the many consistencies of the current Administration on which we can rely: drones, kill lists, renditions.
Perhaps that explains why we have a report of the mysterious appearance of 3 men of Somali descent in a Federal court in NY Friday morning, where they were charged with material support and arms violations in conjunction with Al-Shabaab, an Islamic group deemed a terrorist organization by the US. A Swedish interpreter was also present.
The men are Mohamed Yusuf, Ali Yasin Ahmed and Mahdi Hashi. Of Mohamed Yusuf, I can find nothing. Ali Yasin Ahmed appears to be a Swedish resident, if not a national, who owned a travel agency in Sweden and was charged with not keeping financial records. Apparently, he sent over US $1.5m to Somalia while in Sweden.
Hashi, 23, has been missing from his home in Somalia for over three months. Hashi was a British citizen. Hashi's father reports that in the UK, Hashi and several others had been hounded to become informants for British intelligent agents. Hashi refused, before moving to Somalia some time later, where he got married and had a child.
A little over 4 months ago, Hashi was informed by mail that the UK had stripped him of his citizenship for his association "with terrorist activities." He was given 4 weeks to challenge the decision. But according to his family, he disappeared before he could challenge the British government's decision. Disappeared that is, until his appearance in Brooklyn last Friday morning. [continue reading]
This has all the hallmarks of a rendition whereby somebody is picked up secretly and transferred into secret detention and thereafter transferred to another jurisdiction and here it's the Americans.
Saghir Hussain, the lawyer for the family of a man whose British citizenship was revoked over allegations of extremism has questioned how he came to appear before a US court.
Mahdi Hashi, 23, of Camden, was stripped of his citizenship in the summer when he went missing in Africa.
He appeared in a New York court on Friday charged with "providing material support" to terrorist group Al Shabaab.
NF: This is a story I have been following for a while and interestingly enough, I knew of this polite and friendly young man here in London. It is very disturbing that things like this can happen to any human being without due process and I have never been more ashamed of being British; that your own government can turn their backs and deprive you of all your rights.

The initial goal of US domination of Africa is outlined in the AFRICOM documents, and names the eviction of China from the continent as task number one.
Africa Pulse spells it out: 'Strong economic growth in the past decade among African countries rich in oil and minerals has failed to make a significant dent on their poverty levels, according to a World Bank report.'
In other words, the Anglo-American imperialists would like to eliminate competition for Africa's bountiful resources, continuing a centuries-old policy of raping the Dark Continent and leaving nothing but perpetual internal strife and poverty behind.

US drone strikes listed and detailed in Pakistan, Somalia and Yemen
Are drone attacks becoming the face of modern warfare? The Bureau of Investigative Journalism has collected the comprehensive database of reported drone attacks.
It shows hundreds of attacks: up to 337 in Pakistan, largely along the tribal areas of Waziristan, especially in the northern part - something which becomes very obvious in the chart below.
Plus there are another 35-45 recorded in Yemen and up to nine in Somalia.
The data also records the number of deaths, which could be up to 3,247 across the three countries, including up to 852 civilians.
It comes as the MoD decides to start developing a new generation of armed drones for use in strikes across the world. It has told defence manufacturers it wants their help to develop drones "to provide greater support to maritime operations such as mine countermeasures, anti-submarine warfare and missile defence".

text: Treatment to Prevent Sudden Cardiac Death Clinical Highlights Identifying patients at risk for sudden cardiac death and identifying the treatments most apt to save lives are essential. Research funded by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) shows that the the most effective antiarrhythmic medication is amiodarone, which lowers sudden cardiac deaths by 13-19 percent. Implantable cardiac defibrillators, when combined with alternative therapy (usually amiodarone), reduced deaths by 24 percent.IntroductionA quarter of all deaths in the United States—about a thousand deaths a day—are sudden cardiac deaths, which are unexpected and occur within an hour of the time that symptoms first appear. Sudden cardiac deaths, in turn, are often linked to ventricular arrhythmia.It is extremely important to identify patients at risk for sudden (as opposed to nonsudden) cardiac death with a high degree of sensitivity and specificity. It is also important to identify the treatments most apt to save lives and increase quality of life.In 1994, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) funded a Patient Outcomes Research Team (PORT) on cardiac arrhythmias. The PORT addressed major questions concerning the value of screening and efficacy of treatments—specifically, drug treatments and implantable cardiac defibrillators, or ICDs.An ICD is surgically implanted in a patient's chest to monitor the heart's rhythm and disrupt potentially serious arrhythmias with an electric shock.In September 2002, the American Heart Journal published seven studies from the Cardiac Arrhythmia PORT. Overall, the studies demonstrate that the increasing use of ICDs for managing ventricular arrhythmias has reduced mortality and also may have improved patients' quality of life.Nevertheless, considerable variation exists in the use of ICDs, suggesting that doctors are uncertain as to when they should be used or that such decisions are being driven by nonclinical factors. The challenge of identifying which patients are best suited for ICD implantation remains. The studies are summarized here.MethodsPrincipal Investigator Mark Hlatky, M.D., led the Cardiac Arrhythmia PORT in interrelated projects using a variety of methods that depended on the topic of interest. Methods ranged from analysis of administrative data, to conducting a case-control study, to synthesis of relevant literature, to construction of a decision model for screening and treating patients at risk for sudden cardiac death.Summary of FindingsGood Treatments Are Available for People at Risk for Sudden Cardiac DeathDrug treatment for sudden cardiac death has improved over the years. Deaths from sudden cardiac death can be lowered by preventing the specific heart rhythm disturbances (ventricular arrhythmias) associated with it. The type I antiarrhythmic drugs (sodium channel blockers) often used in the past are no longer considered helpful. In fact, in one study, they were associated with a 21-percent increase in death rates among people at risk for sudden cardiac death.However, some type III antiarrhythmic drugs (potassium channel blockers), including amiodarone and sotalol, are effective. In a systematic review of methods of preventing sudden cardiac death, amiodarone was identified as the most effective medication, decreasing mortality by 13 to 19 percent compared to a placebo.Implantable cardiac defibrillators are effective and their use has expanded markedly. Surgically implanting an ICD to monitor and correct the heart rate can offer additional help. In the same review of treatments to prevent sudden cardiac death, researchers found that when ICDs were combined with other therapy (most often amiodarone), the ICDs reduced mortality by an additional 24 percent. ICDs appeared to be most effective for patients who had an episode of sustained ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation. The evidence is less strong for patients who had an earlier myocardial infarction and a low ejection fraction.In another study, researchers examined Medicare data for 1987-95 and California hospital discharge data for 1991-95 to study trends in the use and outcomes of ICDs. During the study period, ICD use increased more than tenfold. Mortality rates fell from 6.0 percent to 1.9 percent for the first 30 days after device implantation and from 19.3 percent to 11.4 percent for the year following implantation. It could not be determined whether these better outcomes were the result of improved effectiveness of the device or improved patient selection. Over the study period, the need for device revision or replacement and overall costs remained stable.In another study, it was found that ICD patients had higher overall costs than patients treated only with medication because of the upfront costs of the device, but their followup costs were lower.Quality of life for these patients may be improving. ICDs and antiarrhythmic medications to prevent sudden cardiac death are effective in reducing deaths, but their impact on quality of life (QOL) is less clear. In a study that followed 264 patients with new cases of life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias, QOL decreased at first but gradually improved with time. The overall improvements in QOL were greater for patients with ICDs than for patients treated only with amiodarone. These findings, which contrast with previous research, may reflect advances in ICD technology and differences in study populations.Identifying Patients Who Will Benefit From These Treatments Is DifficultPatients at high risk of sudden cardiac death are hard to identify. Targeting the patients who can benefit from these specific therapies aimed at cardiac arrhythmias is difficult. Researchers evaluated the possibility of distinguishing patients at risk for sudden vs. nonsudden death using clinical characteristics (obtained from administrative data and chart reviews). Unfortunately, they were not able to identify significant differences between the two groups. They concluded that standard clinical evaluation is much better at predicting the overall risk of death than at predicting whether it will be sudden or nonsudden.Accurate targeting is necessary for cost-effective treatment. Selection of the most appropriate patients to get ICDs is complex. Researchers used a statistical model incorporating mortality rates (for sudden and nonsudden cardiac deaths and for noncardiac deaths) and costs for ICD treatment and for amiodarone treatment in order to evaluate cost-effectiveness.The cost-effectiveness of ICD implantation varied markedly, depending on the total cardiac mortality rate and the ratio of sudden cardiac death to nonsudden cardiac death. However, ICDs always cost at least approximately $30,000 for each quality-adjusted year of life. Stategies for risk stratification need to distinguish patients who die suddenly from those who die nonsuddenly, not just to distinguish patients who die suddenly from those who live.Trends Are Encouraging But Problems RemainMore testing and better treatment improve outcomes. A study of hospital treatment for Medicare patients with ventricular arrhythmias looked at trends in the 1980s and 1990s. Most patients who arrive in the hospital for a ventricular arrhythmia are declared dead in the emergency department. But for those who survive and are admitted to the hospital, electrophysiologic testing to identify the risk of sudden death rose from 3 percent in 1987 to 22 percent in 1995 and the use of ICDs rose from 1 percent to 13 percent. Survival increased by half a percentage point a year during the study period and hospitalization costs increased 8 percent each year. The improvements in mortality seen in this observational study are similar to those seen in randomized trials.Treatment disparities between groups remain. A study examined whether there were racial/ethnic disparities in terms of care and outcomes for patients with ventricular arrhythmias admitted to California hospitals from 1992 to 1994. Analyzing discharge abstracts, investigators found that blacks were significantly less likely than whites to have electrophysiologic studies or to get an ICD. Blacks had 18 percent higher mortality rates than whites, even after controlling for multiple confounding risk factors. These findings are consistent with studies of other cardiovascular procedures. Disparities were also found for factors other than race/ethnicity, including age, sex, and insurance status.For More InformationThe studies summarized here appeared in the September 2002 issue of the American Heart Journal, Volume 144.

LOUISVILLE, Ky (WHAS11) -- The threat of strong winds and isolated tornadoes has Kentuckiana on alert. MetroSafe's 911 call center is calling in extra staff, LG & E has crews on standby and Jefferson County Public Schools may delay or cancel classes, depending on the storm's punch and progress.
A squall line making its way east from Missouri and Illinois is packing wind gusts between 60 and 70 miles per hour and heavy rain.
"We do most certainly expect more calls to come in so we will secure additional people," said Jody Duncan, a spokeswoman for MetroSafe, Louisville's Emergency Management Agency. "Supervisors will be in here. and a lot of times EMA will come in and staff the Emergency Operations Center."
"The severity of the storm could present damage problems for our bus routes, they could possibly present damage problems, electricity problems for our schools," said Ben Jackey, a JCPS spokesman. "So that's one part of the equation. The other is when is it going to hit. We've herad anywhere from 2 to 6 o-clock. Let's say it hit around that 5:00 time, that's when we're just starting to get buses rolling out. 5:30 or so we've got students who are just starting to go to bus stops. We don't want them out there in those elements, clearly."
Jackey urged parents to pay attention to local television and radio stations for the latest updates about any changes to the schedules of area schools.
"We're expecting it to be possibly a moderate storm," said Liz Pratt, a Louisville Gas & Electric spokeswoman. "We anticipate if we should experience outages, they may be isolated outages. But as with any storm cell, anything can happen as it moves across our service territories."
"We're also in communications with our business partners for the contract crews available to assist us," Pratt continued. "So at this point, we have our crews on ready. Our crews are on standby and they are ready to respond to however the storms may affect our service territory."
Pratt encouraged customers to download LG & E's online power outage map. Customers can also report downed lines online or by calling (502) 589-3500.
Neither Louisville Metro Police or Louisville Fire and Rescue plan any extra operations or staffing in advance, but Metrosafe advises residents to prepare, especially with severe weather possible while most of Kentuckiana sleeps.
"The tornado sirens are something to inform the community that are outside at the time," Duncan said. "So it is imperative that you have the reverse 911 or Code Red system and a weather radio to notify you so you can get in the most safe place in your home."
Kentucky Emergency Management (KYEM) officials say they are working with the National Weather Service to discuss the threat and capability of the severe weather system.
"Much of the risk to the Commonwealth will come during the overnight hours. The system carries a risk for tornadoes, as well as damaging winds and heavy rainfall that could produce flash flooding in low lying areas along small streams and creeks," a KYEM advisory read.
"This storm system is expected to reach western Kentucky early Tuesday evening and move across the Commonwealth overnight, making it particularly dangerous for citizens who may be sleeping when the worst weather arrives," the advisory continued.

The north-south Colonnaded Street
This main thoroughfare of Sagalassos ascended most likely along the western slope of the Alexander Hill. It made a 90degrees turn to the north, passed the promontory of the Temple of Hadrianus and Antoninus Pius in the south and continued towards the Lower Agora. Once past the Lower Agora, it made a turn to the east, then continued ca. 90 m in a northern direction and made a sharp turn to the west again, towards the Upper Agora, which lay ca. 50 m further west. As the many funerary monuments near Alexander's Hill already show, this street was the main access route into the city. As it included multiple staircases and as there were also no traces of weathering by wheels on the street pavement, it was obviously not accessible for wheeled traffic, but only for pedestrians and perhaps by pack animals such as mules and donkeys. In addition, it must have been used for representative goals. Also today, the way up towards the site along this route remains highly impressive. Moreover, once inside the city, it formed the backbone of the urban plan of Sagalassos, connecting the two agorae. Research on this street has mainly focussed on the section between the Lower Agora and the site indicated as 'Fortification Gate'.
It was believed that the section of the street just below the Lower Agora was already in existence in Hellenistic times: a Hellenistic monument was identified west of the Colonnaded Street, and in the south, the street passed under what was thought to have been a monumental Hellenistic gateway. Although a sounding executed inside a shops encountered some ceramics dating to the last quarter of the 1st century BC, it was found that the present street was only laid out in the first half of the 1st century AD. At this time, both the road as well as the row of shops in the west received their first pavement. This date was corroborated by a stylistic dating of architectural decoration belonging to the portico. This means that Sagalassos was equipped with a colonnaded street at a very early moment in time. The earliest example of a colonnaded street in Asia Minor was that constructed in A.D. 17 at Sardis, under the influence of Emperor Tiberius. In addition, the Main Street at Perge might also have been equipped with columns in the same period. Generally, it was in the course of the 1st century AD, that cities of Asia Minor started to show architectural variations of streets lined with porticoes, adapted to the particular requirements of the adjoining buildings. The overall spread of colonnaded streets only occurred between the early 2nd and early 3rd century AD.
Neither cost nor effort was spared for the construction of this street: geomorphological corings below the pavement slabs indicated that it was laid out on top of a massive fill in of a deep crevice separating the limestone platform with the Apollo Klarios Temple from that of the shrine of Hadrian and Antoninus Pius. Creating the right level for the street was a very expensive and time consuming task, as thousands of cubic metres of earth, rocks and rubble needed to be brought in.
Between the promontory of the Temple of Hadrian and Antoninus Pius and the Lower Agora, the street was 9.60 to 9.90 m wide. At least on its western side, it was flanked by a 3.50 m wide colonnade in front of a row of shops, located on top of two subsequent terraces that were at the most ca. 2 m higher than the level of the road. Therefore, the street would have seemed much longer and more impressive than it actually was. Visitors would have been faced with a broad and bright white avenue, directed towards the large honorific gate in the north, and after the beginning of the 2nd century AD., also toward the impressive Late-Hadrianic Nymphaeum above the Lower Agora.
The history of the colonnaded street in the first centuries AD is badly known. At an unknown moment in time, judging by the size of the bricks used in the 4th or 5th c. AD, the row of shops behind the western colonnade, and as a consequence also the colonnade, was reconstructed. The pavement of the Colonnaded Street was relatively well-preserved and continuously maintained: on several locations, brick repairs were visible; along both edges of the street, the slabs were lifted, probably in order to insert waterpipes; and finally, some pavement sections are so irregular, in contrast to the overall very neat rows of pavement slabs, that it is likely they testify to a later relaying. Further large infrastructure works were carried out in the second quarter of the 6th century AD, when the present staircase leading to the Lower Agora was constructed, apparently on top of and somewhat more to the south than the previous connection between Street and Agora.
The western row of shops most likely went out of use in the second half of the 6th century AD. The small amounts of archaeological finds - every day objects, furniture-elements and building decoration - made clear that the area was not only abandoned before the final collapse, but also very thoroughly robbed out. On a later, undated moment, east-west oriented, rubble walls were constructed on top of the pavement. They still incorporated some elements of the colonnade, both pedestals and column fragments.

Spartans Shut Out Olivet College on Senior Day, 40-0
Feb. 14, 2014
EAST LANSING, Mich. - The Michigan State wrestling team shut out Olivet College, 40-0, Friday afternoon on Senior Day at Jenison Field House. Four Spartan seniors - Nick Kaczanowski, Brenan Lyon, Mike McClure and Bobby Nash - were recognized in a ceremony before the dual and all claimed victories in their final appearance at Jenison Field House.
"It's very important that we have this momentum," said MSU head coach Tom Minkel, as the Spartans won their second match in a row. "We're in a very important stretch. We need to use what we learn and be better. Our mission all year long was to be better this week then we were the last week. I think we were today. We wrestled aggressively and kept really good position. We'll have a good test at Central Michigan in a week but our goal is to just keep getting better, stay optimistic, stay on task and stay together as team."
Olivet College, ranked fourth in Division III, fell to 15-6 with the loss.
Lyon started the dual with a convincing 15-5 major decision over Henry McKeown at 125 pounds. Lyon recorded four takedowns in the first period, added another takedown in the second and gained a point due to stalling on McKeown, and scored on a reversal and takedown in the third. He accumulated 2:22 of riding time to finish with the 10-point victory.
Red-shirt freshman Garth Yenter tallied MSU's second straight major decision, as he defeated Michael Gancer in the133-pound match, 13-3. Yenter controlled the entire bout, collecting four takedowns, two near-fall points, and 4:52 of riding time, all without giving up a takedown.
Wrestling in his first dual of the season, sophomore Terry Turner delivered a 6-3 decision over Justin Holm, who is ranked third in Division III at 141 pounds. After a scoreless first period, Turner reversed Holm early in the second and rode him the rest of the period. Turner got Holm on his back briefly and added near-fall points with 20 seconds left to go up, 4-0.
Holm trimmed the lead to 4-3 with an escape and a takedown in the third, but Turner escaped with 30 seconds remaining and was awarded an extra point for riding time (2:01) to record the 6-3 victory.
At 149 pounds, Nick Trimble came away with a 4-2 sudden victory over seventh-ranked Gage Pederson after notching a takedown 30 seconds into the bonus period.
Roger Wildmo followed with a 10-2 major decision in the 157-pound match over Kyle Witgen to put MSU on top, 18-0.
Nash made his last match on the platform at Jenison Field House count, as he took care of Dan Fleet at 165 pounds with a 6-1 decision. Nash led the entire way, building a 5-0 lead after two periods courtesy of two takedowns and an escape. Although Fleet escaped in the third to get on the board, Nash compiled 2:34 of riding time to get the 6-1 win.
Kaczanowski continued the theme for the seniors by pinning No. 20 Nick Allen in the first period. It marked Kaczanowski's first fall of the season.
"I really tried to put it all in for that last match and it was nice to get a pin out there," said Kaczanowski. "It's always nice to have your parents there (for Senior Day) because wrestling is such a close-knit sport. My dad had to drive me all over the country to train and it's nice to be able for them to come up and be recognized.
"I think we're peaking at the right time. We've been getting better every week. We've had a tough schedule and it doesn't get any easier with the Big Ten's coming up and then the NCAA's, but I'm excited for it."
John Rizqallah edged No. 7 Jeff Holm at 184 pounds, 1-0, while Nick McDiarmid got the major decision over Thomas Hall at 197, 9-0.
In the final match of the dual, McClure put an exclamation point on Senior Day with a pin at heavyweight. Within the first 10 seconds, McClure took down Ryan Steverson, and he quickly recorded the fall 27 seconds into the match.
McClure, ranked seventh in the nation, improved his record to 22-5 overall and was 5-1 at home this season. The fall was McClure's team-leading seventh of the year.
"That's the note that I wanted to finish up here (at home)," McClure said. "It's kind of emotional, but it hasn't set in yet that this is the last time wrestling in Jenison Field House. I've loved this experience ever since I came here. I'm sure I'm going to miss it."
"It never fails to catch me by surprise," said Minkel regarding Senior Day. "I'm announcing these guys for their last home dual of their college career and I can remember recruiting them and having them on campus and showing them around. They were young and optimistic and had no idea of what wrestling in the Big Ten is really like. It just feels like all that was just a few days ago.
"It's sad to see that come to an end, but at the same time you know that you've played a part in their development as young men, in their college experience, and in their lives. You hope this will help them become better adults and be able to cope with the challenges life throws at them after college. It's enormously rewarding."
The Spartans (7-10) will travel to Central Michigan next Saturday, Feb. 22 to take on the Chippewas at 2 p.m. in the final dual of the regular season.

This stunningly simple kite design comes from Jonathan Socher of Molokai, Hawaii, who regularly builds these diminutive flyers with local school groups. Jonathan prides himself on being able to get 20 kids to make 20 kites in 20 minutes, though we're suggesting you make only enough for your household!
Fold the sheet of paper in half widthwise. Use a ruler and pencil to measure and draw a diagonal line, as indicated.
Place the ruler against the line and crease the paper along it.
Fold back the top layer of paper and tape along the fold line. Trim any excess tape.
Using wire snips, trim the bamboo skewer to 8 inches in length. Position the skewer as a brace across the top back of the kite and firmly tape it down.
Cut a 6-foot kite tail from the surveyor's tape. Tape it to the rear edge of the kite. Next, flip the kite over and fold the flap (to which you'll tie the string) back and forth until it stands straight up.
Fold a small piece of tape over the edge of the flap about 3 inches from the top. Punch a hole through the tape 1/4 inch in from the folded edge. Tie one end of the string through the hole.
To make a string winder, tie the other end of the string around the middle of the cardboard, securing it with a strip of tape. Wind on the rest of the string, and you're ready to fly!

In 1985, Michael Jackson acquired the publishing rights tomost for the Beatles' songs for $47.5 million when he outbid Paul McCartney.
Purchasing the royalties to The Beatles' catalog would beout of reach for most people, but a Raleigh company is helping the averageperson to buy a piece of their favorite musicians.
Several entities own a piece of a song or a collection ofsongs; and at any point, one of those entities -- the producer, song writer orartist -- can sell their portion. That portion could end up on the auctionblock on the Royalty Exchange website.
From its non-descript office in North Raleigh, the RoyaltyExchange is the first online platform for the valuation and sale of musicroyalties.
Founded by musician Reggie Calloway and technology entrepreneurSean Peace in 2011, Royalty Exchange now has offices in Los Angeles andNashville. Every day, the company opens the doors to the music world to newinvestors.
"If you're an accredited investor, you can come up onour site and instead of buying music royalties for a million dollars, you canbuy some for about $10,000," Peace explained.
Some of the rights recently sold on the website were thoseof songwriter and producer Edmund Clement, who penned Usher's number one hit"U Remind Me." Clement also producer TLC's "Girl Talk," Chris Brown's"Intro" and Boyz II Men's "Howz About It."
The Clement Collection sold for $113,000, but the new ownercould make about $30,000 a year in royalties.
Last month, Coolio sold the performance royalties of hisentire song catalog, which consisted of 123 songs, including his smash"Gangsta's Paradise." The starting price was $140,000, but the finalselling price is being kept private.

MADISON, Wis. (WSAU) - The State of Wisconsin will now review a proposal for a new casino proposed by the Menominee tribe near the Wisconsin-Illinois border. Governor Scott Walker announced Friday they will start the process of reviewing the proposal.
In a statement, Walker said, "Given the approval by the federal Bureau of Indian Affairs for the proposed Menominee casino, we will move forward with evaluating this casino using the criteria previously laid out by my Administration. The three criteria are: no new net gaming, community support, and consensus among the 11 sovereign nations. As I have discussed with tribal leaders and representatives during my regular quarterly meetings with all the tribes, we will move forward with a 60-day comment gathering period for the tribes following the federal government's approval. My administration will begin reaching out to tribal representatives ahead of the beginning of the comment period to ensure all the tribes have the opportunity to provide feedback."
The U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs approved the Keshena based tribe's plan to convert the former Dairyland Greyhound Park to a casino with a hotel and convention center facility, over 31-hundred slot machines, 75 blackjack tables, and a large retail shopping space.
Kenosha county residents approved the proposal in 2004. It would be built in phases if approved.
The opposition to the new casino complex is mostly from another tribal gaming operation. The Forest County Potawatomi Tribe already has a gaming operation not far from Milwaukee, and they're not anxious to see competition from the Menominee forty miles away. They are considering litigation if the new project proceeds.
The Potawatomi tribe earned nearly $368 million dollars from its casino in 2011. They claim the proposed Kenosha casino would cut their revenue by $150 million a year.

Here are just a few of the wonderful comments received from our reallly lovely customers...
This week I received the rain cloud pillow I ordered- it is wonderful! I hope someone got a laugh out of sending a rain cloud to Seattle (despite our excessively damp reputation Seattle has nearly identical weather to London).. Funny enough this has been the first consistently sunny week this year. Perfect timing!
Thanks to all, the note made me smile, and I will be using the nice tote bag for trips to the sunday farmers' market. I look forward to future neat things from you.
All the best,
Austin Clay
Seattle, Washington, US of A
Just a quick email to say thankyou for my lovely badger cushion. I ordered from you on Tuesday night and received it on Thursday morning! I loved the tote bag packaging and the personal note is a lovely extra touch. Its little things like these which set you aside from other companies and I hope to be lucky enough to have more of your fab range in future.
Thanks again,
From Claire, a happy customer!
The cushions arrived safely this morning: less than 24 hours after I placed my order. I am very impressed - thank you. The cushions are beautiful. They are a present for my daughter (who is 42 years old!) who absolutely loves badgers and foxes. We live in the country and see a lot of both species.
Again, thank you so much. We will definitely be ordering again.
Best wishes,
Lorraine Cantle
My purchase just arrived and I just wanted to tell you how thrilled I was to receive such a beautifully presented parcel! Everything from the cheerful pink outer wrapper to the sweet cloud stickers and note card is charming and it just made my day. Such careful attention to every detail is so appreciated! Oh yes, and the egg cups I ordered are wonderful too!! Thank you.
Best Wishes,
Hi there, my parcel of cards arrived with a lovely personal card from you and it got here in no time at all. The owl is for my little girls bedroom, she keeps talking to it!
Thanks a lot for the brilliant service and fab products
The Make-Your-Own-Monster kits arrived today thank you. We will definitely make sure to post our own photos to the tumblr. We admittedly bought a kit for ourselves too, saving it for a rainy Sunday :-)
Thank you so much for all your help, excellent customer service. Look forward to ordering more... One day my "Wooly Wood Throw" savings will be complete!
