Growing Up with Asthma
Prevention and Treatment
For children with asthma, the best prevention for attacks is trigger avoidance. The most common treatment is steroids. Many young children take asthma medication through a nebulizer (a piece of equipment that forces air over liquid medication to create a mist, which patients then inhale through a mask). Older children may also use a metered dose inhaler, or MDI.
"The types of medications don't change from patient to patient," says Dr. Neaville. "What does change is dosage and delivery method. Controller medications are given, usually two times per day, to prevent symptoms. Rescue medications are provided to counteract asthma attacks."
Two classes of medications are currently used to treat asthma. One such class includes anti-inflammatory medications, such as corticosteroids and cromolyn sodium. Leukotriene modifiers may also be used in this class of medications. This new type of anti-inflammatory medication differs slightly from other anti-inflammatory medications in that it blocks leukotrienes, chemicals that cause inflammation.
Bronchodilators are the second class of asthma medications. By relaxing the bronchial muscles, bronchodilators dilate airways, allowing unobstructed airflow. Some bronchodilators are beta adrenergic antagonists, methylxanthines, and anticholinergics.
Zak's symptoms subsided significantly after he had his tonsils and adenoids removed at the age of five. Until that time, recurring colds and strep throat aggravated his asthma. According to Debi, "The colds and strep throat tapered off when he developed some immunities, but having his tonsils and adenoids removed helped his breathing immensely."
While the folkloric remedy of holding a Chihuahua to transfer asthma to the dog isn't likely to be effective, asthmatics have reported success with other natural treatments. These include chiropractic care, nutritional supplements, herbal and homeopathic remedies, and use of essential oils. Some supplements, herbs, and essential oils act as bronchodilators. They may also reduce inflammation, mucus, and seasonal allergies.
Michael Heinrich, at the Center for Pharmacognosy and Phytotherapy, School of Pharmacy, in London, found that that some well-known herbs, such as curcumin (or tumeric) and milk thistle, can help open airways. In addition, licorice, Ginkgo biloba, and American angelica may also help alleviate asthma's symptoms. (Be sure to check with your doctor before trying any of these natural remedies.)

It's always fun to look back in time. This is Vancouver (Gastown) maybe 50 years ago (I can't really put a date on it, feel free to tell me if you know) and the subject today is familiar but distant too: the crazy expansion era decisions made by the NHL and its member teams.
This is Mike Nykoluk (someone put color into photo, God bless you). He was traded to Hershey by the Leafs at age 23 (1958) and never left during a playing career that ended 1,000 AHL games later in 1972. In 1967, the year of the great expansion, Nykoluk won the AHL MVP award on the strength of an 84 point season and a league leading 68 assists. He was a PP wizard, considered a quality 2-way center and expert faceoff man. The faceoff abilities and PP prowess were major contributors is his being chosen by Philadelphia's Fred Shero as the first assistant coach in NHL history in 1972. He was there for the Stanley's, then moved to NYC and eventually won a head coaching job in Toronto.
My interest at this time is Nykoluk as a player in 1967. He was MVP of a very good league–the AHL at that time would have been the direct supplier of talent to an NHL that employed just over 100 players at any given time. Nykoluk belonged to Hershey, and the Bears were free to trade or keep him just like they were an NHL team: they were not a farm team. An expansion team could have traded for him, but the Flyers and Kings had purchased entire minor league teams and the other 4 were focused on figuring out what they had from the expansion draft. A team like Oakland was ill equipped to make the kind of deal that was typical (Eddie Giacomin for 5 guys) in that era for an NHL-to-AHL swap.
For Nykoluk, it meant NHL opportunity was unavailable. It also meant that the new NHL teams–6 of them–hired 18 or so centers that summer and at least some of them would have been inferior to Nykoluk. Those first expansion teams had little offense and were dull as dishwater, the numbers suggest Nykoluk could have helped someone even if it was for a year or two.
Nykoluk probably doesn't give a damn, he had a great time in Hershey.
You know, maybe he was so slow it wouldn't have worked, but even then that doesn't make sense because they were using ancients like Doug Harvey in the late 60′s expansion division. 68 assists in the 66-67 AHL should have given him a nice number in the new expansion division of the NHL. It's just that it is so stupid. The NHL and organized hockey must have been run by idiots. And there are other examples, like the NHL's insane 1-3, 2-4 playoff seedings (finishing first got you the third place team and finishing 2nd was best spot) but that's more about teams and this is about the individual.
Nykoluk was 31 at the beginning of the 66-67 season. He won the MVP award and should have had (at the very least) an invite to a training camp for one of the expansion teams.
He didn't get the chance. Idiotic.
I wonder if people will look back on some of the NHL decisions of this era and say the same thing 50 years from now.

From: Christology of the Old Testament and a Commentary on the Messianic Predictions, Ernst Wilhelm Hengstenberg (1802-1869; Lutheran):
There cannot be any doubt that the messianic interpretation was pretty generally received in earlier times by the Jews. This is admitted even by those later interpreters who pervert the prophecy, e.g., Ibn-ezra, Jarchi [Rashi], Abravanel and Nahmanides.
The whole translation of the Chaldean Paraphrast, Jonathan, refers to prophecy to Messiah. He paraphrases the very first clause: "behold, My Servant Messiah shall prosper."
Rabbi Alschech, in Hulsii Theologia Judaica, pp. 321 ff., comments:
Upon the testimony of tradition, our old rabbis have unanimously admitted that king Messiah is here the subject of discourse. We, in harmony with them, conclude that king David, i.e., the Messiah, must be considered as the subject of this prophecy -- a view which is indeed quite obvious.
From: The Messiah Texts, Raphael Patai [Jewish], Detroit: Wayne State University Press, 1979:
The Aggada, the Talmudic legend, unhesitatingly identifies him with the Messiah, and understands especially the descriptions of his sufferings as referring to Messiah ben Joseph.
[Concerning the suffering servant of Isaiah 42, 49, 50, 52, 53]
It is quite probable that the concept of the suffering Messiah, fully developed in the Talmud, the Midrash, and the Zohar, has its origin in the biblical prophecies about the suffering servant.
Some rabbis named the Messiah, "The Leprous of the House of Study," based on Isaiah 53:4 (B. Sanhedrin 98b).
"Elijah . . . says to him: 'Endure the sufferings and the sentence of your Master who makes you suffer because of the sin of Israel.' And thus it is written: 'He was wounded because of our transgressions.' . . . (Is 53:5) - until the time when the end comes." (Mid. Konen, BhM, 2:29)
From: http://www.yashanet.com/library/nterpret.htm
Nachmanides (R. Moshe ben Nachman) (13th c.):
"The right view respecting this Parashah is to suppose that by the phrase 'my servant' the whole of Israel is meant . . . As a different opinion, however, is adopted by the Midrash, which refers it to the Messiah, it is necessary for us to explain it in conformity with the view there maintained . . . And by his stripes we were healed -- because the stripes by which he is vexed and distressed will heal us; God will pardon us for his righteousness, and we shall be healed both from our own transgressions and from the iniquities of our fathers."
(From S. R. Driver and A. Neubauer, editors, The Fifty-third Chapter of Isaiah According to the Jewish Interpreters (2 volumes; New York: Ktav, 1969; pp. 78 ff.)
R. Elijah de Vidas (16th c.):
"Since the Messiah bears our iniquities which produce the effect of His being bruised, it follows that whoso will not admit that the Messiah thus suffers for our iniquities, must endure and suffer for them himself."
(in Driver, ibid., 331)
Rabbi Moshe Alshekh (El-Sheikh) of Sefad (16th c.):
"I may remark, then, that our Rabbis with one voice accept and affirm the opinion that the prophet is speaking of the King Messiah, and we ourselves also adhere to
the same view."
(in Driver, ibid., 258)
From: David Baron (Hebrew Christian scholar)
That the generally received older Jewish interpretation of this prophecy was the Messianic is admitted by Abrabanel, who himself . . . interpret[s] it of the Jewish nation . . . "Jonathan ben Uziel interprets it in the Targum of the future Messiah; and this is also the opinion of our learned men in the majority of their Midrashim."
Similarly another, Rabbi Mosheh el Sheikh, commonly known as Alshech (latter half of the sixteenth century), who also himself follows the older interpretation, at any rate of the first three verses (52:13-15, which, however, as we shall see, contain a summary of the whole
prophecy), testifies "that our Rabbis with one voice accept and affirm the opinion that the prophet is speaking of the King Messiah."
In fact, until Rashi (Rabbi Solomon Yizchaki, 1040-1105) applied it to the Jewish nation, the Messianic interpretation of this chapter was almost universally adopted by Jews, . . .
According to Ibn Crispin, the interpretation adopted by Rashi "distorts the passage from its natural meaning", and that in truth "it was given of God as a description of the Messiah, whereby, when any should claim to be the Messiah, to judge by the resemblance or non-resemblance to it whether he were the Messiah or not."
From: S.R. Driver and Ad. Neubauer, editors, The Fifty-third Chapter of Isaiah According to the Jewish Interpreters (2 volumes; New York: Ktav, 1969)
(available online in abridged form at: http://www.saltshakers.com/lm/Fifty3.rtf)
Benjamin of Nehawend, a philosophic Karaite of much reputation (c. 800 A.D.), still believed that Isaiah 53 referred to the messiah (according to Yepheth ben Ali). "Many," Ibn Ezra says, in the middle of the twelfth century, "explained it as being of the messiah", on the authority of a traditional saying of the rabbis.

Newspapers in Peril?
Sagging subscriptions, shrinking circulation and dwindling advertising are the triple threats to the survival of the nation's dailies. And the power and pull of the Internet are causing many newspapers to flail, fail or fold. But are newspapers dying, or is it premature and unreasonable to sound the death knell? Two journalism scholars offer their views.

We create a clearer and caring recruitment experience for schools and teachers.
Certified teachers, graduates with great personalities, and Ivy League graduates.
See introductions, teaching philosophies, classes, and other videos from schools and teachers.
Enjoy an unforgettable year as a teacher and an expat.
The Asian journey of a lifetime.
In our 8 combined years in Asia, Matt and I have taught at private academies, a university, run a boutique teacher recruitment company in Gangnam, and owned a K-5 language school. We have gained a comprehensive understanding of what a successful ESL experience needs from teachers, schools, and even mothers. The trend in the Asian ESL industry right now is for better English teachers. The best teachers do not necessarily have teaching certificates or degrees. But that certainly helps and we focus our recruitment on those that have such qualifications. But the most important thing for becoming a good teacher is attitude and personality. Finding these great teaching candidates is our mission! High standards are going to set us apart from other recruiters.
Our second mission is transparency. James has been a leader in the fight for more transparency between teachers and schools in the teacher recruitment process since starting his first recruitment company in 2008. Good relationships come from trust, and trust comes from transparency. We are pushing that mission further with profile video requirements. These days, everyone can make a video with the phone in their pocket. Profile videos allow candidates to display their personality and schools to make teachers comfortable before flying around the world to work together.
We will only work with a schools in Korea and China that have something great to offer, and have previous expat teachers that can give them the thumbs up. Similarly, we will only recruit teachers that have either the personality or the pedagogy to be good, caring teachers. If you want to take advantage of the opportunity we are offering here, signup and feel free to contact us with any questions (or suggestions!). Matt and I absolutely love having conversations with anybody who is passionate about education and recruitment!
-James Rector & Matthew Devine, Founders

As industry meets at the annual MEDTEC UK event, the Public Health Registrar of the NHS Sustainable Development Unit explains how the agency is building a more sustainable health system.
The word sustainable seems to be everywhere at the moment. Every international conference wants it in its title, and it is frequently found alongside another favourite, innovation.
However, the word sustainability is often used without regard to its full meaning. It is regularly used in reference to financial sustainability. But it is questionable whether anything can be truly financially sustainable if it is not socially and environmentally sustainable, as well.
Many medical device manufacturers recognise the importance of environmental sustainability. Perhaps less obvious is the increasing recognition of its importance on the demand side among healthcare purchasers, providers and regulators.
|Drawn up by the NHS Sustainable Development Unit, the Route Map for Sustainable Health is divided into three domains: behaviours, standards and innovation.
This article describes the work of the National Health Service Sustainable Development Unit (NHS SDU) in England and considers what the future might look like as we move to a more environmentally sustainable healthcare system in England and globally. The article goes on to outline the potential benefits of industry/healthcare provider collaboration in developing more sustainable medical devices and healthcare.
Low-carbon healthcare
At the NHS SDU, our aim is to help the NHS in England fulfil its potential as a leading sustainable and low-carbon healthcare service. We do this by the collaborative development of organisations, tools, policy and research that will enable the NHS to promote sustainable development and mitigate climate change.
We have been predominantly focused on the challenge of climate change and carbon reduction while recognising the importance of other environmental, social and financial aspects of sustainability.
In 2011, we published a Route Map for Sustainable Health. This report was developed after dialogue and engagement across the whole healthcare system. It laid out a vision for a future sustainable health system.
Many transitions were identified as important. These included a shift to integrated decision making that accounts for the impact of decisions on society and nature now and in the future. The "Route Map" was divided into three domains: behaviours, standards and innovation.
Of particular relevance to the medical device industry was the recognition that investment in sustainable technology is needed and that the system would need to value environmental impacts and take these into account during the decision-making process.
Earlier this year, we published an updated NHS England carbon footprint— "Sustainability in the NHS: Health Check 2012"—as part of the report. Overall procurement is thought to be responsible for 65% of the NHS footprint. Only the pharmaceutical industry and business services sectors are thought to contribute more than medical devices to the procurement footprint. It is estimated that medical devices and equipment used in the NHS have an annual footprint of 1.6 million tonnes. This is why reducing the environmental impact of medical devices and pharmaceuticals is a priority for the NHS.
Key metrics
What does a sustainable medical device look like? we ask in the headline of this article. Well, there is no easy answer to this. Most would agree that environmental and social harms related to the product would have been minimised. There is no right answer to what dimensions of sustainability should be considered. At the NHS SDU in England, we have started with carbon footprinting as the key measure. However, we do recognise that there are many other important aspects such as water usage or pollution, and social measures such as the effect of industrial working conditions on local communities. Elsewhere the focus has been more on these other measures.
From the perspective of a consumer wishing to take responsibility for the impact of his or her choices, it is necessary to have a transparent lifecycle assessment of a product. One important consequence of taking a lifecycle perspective is that it puts an onus on the user organisation to participate in determining the impacts, as the assessment includes in-use and disposal phases. We recognise that this is not currently well measured and reported in the NHS. The use phase of some products may already be well characterised for health and financial impacts. For example, in the United Kingdom this informs economic modelling in health technology appraisal by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE). In the future, this modelling could be expanded to develop an understanding of in-use environmental effects.
SDU and the medical device industry
The NHS SDU has been building a collaboration that brings together leading companies in the pharmaceutical and medical device industry with leading public sector organisations to agree on the most important steps in moving to a more sustainable healthcare system.
An early priority identified by both manufacturers and NHS/public sector parties is the need to have a standard method for describing the environmental impact of products. This will better inform efforts to reduce the environmental footprint within industry and during the use and disposal phases. This also will have the potential to allow consumers—purchasers, clinicians and patients—to understand the effects of their choices. So a project is in development to turn existing nonspecific global carbon footprinting protocols into sector-specific guidance for pharmaceuticals and medical devices.
There are several other lines of work, which the SDU has not developed yet, that could be explored in the future. One could focus on the disposal phase of devices to better understand the role of reprocessing and the value this could bring if better facilitated. Another could focus on understanding how environmental footprinting information could be used by consumers of medical devices. Substantial dialogue is needed across the health system with clinicians, patients, policy makers and regulators as well as industry to agree on this. This is a conversation that is increasingly occurring across the NHS. Nonetheless, a clear necessary first step is the development of sector-specific guidance and product rules for carbon footprinting drugs and medical devices. So this is where we have started.
The role of the manufacturer
Manufacturers already know the reputational and economic arguments for becoming more environmentally sustainable. Perhaps less well recognised are the benefits that will come from the greater collaboration upon which future sustainability depends. Medical device manufacturers are central to efforts to reduce the environmental impact of the NHS. Mutual understanding and dialogue between manufacturers and medical device purchasers, users and regulators are needed if our sustainability goals are to be achieved.
There are three potential benefits to greater collaborative working that we have learnt from our discussions to date:
So, what next?
The issue of sustainability may well be the defining issue for both healthcare and industry in the 21st century. The challenges of climate change are substantial. But this is also a great opportunity for us to redefine how we work together to create a sustainable healthcare system.
Creating sustainable medical devices does not just depend on manufacturers changing their processes. It depends on the whole health system re-examining how it describes products, how it uses and disposes of products and how the various elements work together.
At the SDU we have worked hard with manufacturers and healthcare organisations to identify where greater collaboration will be helpful. We will keep doing this. If we are to create a sustainable healthcare system, collaboration will be a key part of this transition.

well, my rogue will be a 19/52/0 for sure. i have ocd so i like to have all i can filled up to the max, and this build seems pretty good for me. of course maxing out rhe 3/3 vile poisons (which in bc is 5 points) instead of improved poisons. the way i see it is that if you have all the off-hand talent specs in the combat tree, you really shouldn't worry about applying your offhand poisons. i haven't had any problem with it, really. and of course, main-hand poisons go without saying as well. in combat, i always have poisons applied to my target, but i guess, again, it depends on what your spec is, and that's just me :P
on the other hand, my death knight is going to be used for dps since dps is my niche and the build i made for it was pretty much a hybrid. getting all the dps talents out of each section. it's kind of confusing, really. but i have heard and noticed myself that 18 points in blood seems almost mandatory for a dps knight. i fooled around with the tree for at least an hour and a half before i was satisfied with my personal dps build which is 18/26/27.
reply away!

Police have yet to confirm if all three are related
Thursday, January 31, 2013 - 11:02am
El Paso — Three separate break-ins occur within just hours of each other early Thursday morning.
Police say the first break in happened at Grace Pharmacy at La Quinta Place in the East side.
The third at McCrory's in West El Paso, and the second one - happened at Alameda Pharmacy in South El Paso, about a 20 minute drive from the first break in.
"Apparently they broke into our store for the second time. When was the first time? First time was two months ago, the people were looking for controlled substances," Mark Estrada, the owner of the Alameda Pharmacy said.
He says the burglars stole cash the first time around and this time they stole controlled substances.
"They probably took an excess of maybe $15,000 of controlled drugs... the ones that are really hot right now oxycontin, vicodins, what not," Estrada explained.
Police and the owners of the other businesses aren't saying much but the owner of Alameda has plenty to say.
"The controlled substances are the real problem. Something needs to be done about these controlled drugs," he said.
In fact, the FDA has been discussing whether or not to place tighter control on Vicodin. Experts say Vicodin is a strong pain killer that is highly addictive and widely abused, and in a lot of cases, caused death.
"They need to change the control status of the medications or better yet, not even make them. Which may sound a little weird coming from a pharmacy owner, but that stuff is poison," Estrada said.
Police are not saying if these three break-ins are related but all three front doors had similar damage.
For now, it's back to business and the hope that something may change.
"It's an epidemic with these medications, the abuse with the doctors and patients and it's a real vicious circle that has no real end," Estrada exclaimed.

On this day, Dec. 14, in 1903, a nine-year veteran of the Brooklyn police force became the first member of the thin blue line to die in the electric chair.
William Ennis was executed for shooting and killing his estranged wife.
After a night of heavy drinking, Ennis, 31, broke into the home of his mother-in-law in a fit of rage. He shot and wounded his mother-in-law, then found his wife and sat her down in a chair. She begged for her life, and he shot and killed her. Ennis then fled to a hotel, where he was found by the police sleeping several hours later.
His attempt at an insanity defense failed.

Here are some of the latest health and medical news
developments, compiled by the editors of HealthDay:
FDA Managers Cleared of Wrongdoing
U.S. Food and Drug Administration managers did not pressure or
harass agency scientists into approving medical devices such as CT
scanners and MRI machines against their judgment, according to
federal investigators.
This is the second time this year that the allegations have been
dismissed by the office of inspector general for the Department of
Health and Human Services, which oversees the FDA, the
Associated Press reported.
After the first finding was released in February, the inspector
general agreed to reopen the investigation at the request of
advocacy groups and federal lawmakers, who said the first
investigation was too narrow in scope.
In a one-page memo dated Oct. 14, the inspector general says the
second investigation found "no evidence of retaliation" against the
agency's medical device reviewers and concludes that "this case is
closed," the
AP reported.
The nine current and former FDA scientists alleged that managers
improperly overruled their opinions about medical devices and
attempted to intimidate them when they made their concerns
New AMA Policy Covers Physicians' Use of Social Media
Privacy and appropriate conduct are major points included in a
newly released American Medical Association policy about
physicians' use of social media.
"Using social media can help physicians create a professional presence online, express their personal views and foster relationships, but it can also create new challenges for the patient-physician relationship," Dr. Mary Anne McCaffree, an AMA board member, said in an association news release. "The AMA's new policy outlines a number of considerations physicians should weigh when building or maintaining a presence online."
The policy recommends physicians:
Fast Food Chains Doing Nothing to Fight Childhood Obesity:
Fast food chains have failed to keep their promise to fight
childhood obesity and have actually increased their marketing to
children, says a new study by Yale University's Rudd Center for
Food Policy and Obesity.
The researchers looked at more than 3,000 possible kids' meal
combinations at major fast food chains and found that only 12 meet
nutritional guidelines for pre-schoolers,
CBS News reported.
They also found increased marketing to youngsters. For example,
children ages 6 to 11 last year saw 26 percent more ads for
McDonald's than they did two years earlier.
Marketing isn't limited to television ads. McDonald's has 13
different Web sites that are visited by a total of 365,000 children
and 294,000 teens each month,
CBS News reported.
"If you look at television alone the average preschooler sees 2.8 ads on TV for fast food every day," said the Rudd Center's Jennifer Harris.
"The industry has been promising for years that it would do something about this," Allen Kanner, co-founder of Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood, told CBS News. "Self regulation is a trick, it's a farce, it's a joke."
FDA Recommends Ways to Reduce CT Radiation Overdose
Companies that make CT scanners need to improve training and
education of equipment operators, says the U.S. Food and Drug
In addition, CT machines should warn operators that a
dangerously high radiation dose is about to be administered to a
patient, the agency said.
The recommendations are the result of the FDA's year-long
investigation into hundreds of radiation overdoses in Alabama and
California patients undergoing a CT brain perfusion scan, which is
used to diagnose stroke,
The New York Times reported.
The overdoses were not caused by equipment failure, but rather
by improper use of CT scanners, the FDA concluded.
The agency plans to discuss its recommendations with CT
manufacturers at the end of November and said it expects the
companies to act on at least some of them, the
Times reported.
U.S. Faces Big Increase in Aging Drivers
Ensuring the safety and mobility of aging baby boomer drivers
poses a major challenge, according to experts.
The issue is the focus of a two-day forum being hosted by the
U.S. National Transportation Safety Board, which says that more
than one in five licensed drivers will soon be 65 or older, the
Associated Press reported.
The number of licensed drivers age 65 and older will increase
from 30 million today to about 57 million in 2030, the Government
Accountability Office estimates.
While improved cars and roads may help older drivers stay behind
the wheel longer, eventually most of them will outlive their
ability to drive. That could strand those who live in suburban
"For many, our homes will not be just a place to age, it will also be house arrest," Joseph Coughlin, head of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's AgeLab, told the AP.
Cholera Confirmed in Haiti's Capital
Health authorities on Monday announced the first confirmed case
of cholera in Haiti's capital and said that more than 100 other
residents of Port-au-Prince are being tested for the disease.
Cholera was confirmed in a 3-year-old boy who hasn't been out of
the city, the
Associated Press reported.
Since the cholera epidemic was discovered in late October, there
have been 8,138 recorded cases and at least 544 deaths. Until now,
no cases have been confirmed within the limits of Port-au-Prince,
which is home to about 3 million people.
Health officials have long worried about the spread of cholera
into the capital city. In preparation, efforts have been made to
establish clinics and inform residents about preventive measures
such as regular hand-washing and the need to thoroughly cook food,
AP reported.

It was a somber day for family and friends as hundreds gathered in Bullock County High School Gymnasium to lay 13- year old Ka'Shaad Hurts to rest.
After investigating the case, Local and state investigators confirmed that Hurts committed suicide brought on by bullying.
WSFA Reporter Hannah Lane spoke with family members, who says that Ka'Shaad's death has been an emotional roller coaster for them.
"We are still trying to understand what exactly happened", said family members of Ka'Shaad.
Officials say there was never any report on file of Hurts being bullied, but they are addressing the issue, including forming a Georgia-based Anti-Bullying group to speak to all 1,500 Bullock County Public School Children.
Bullock County public schools superintendent Dr. Keith Stewart stated that bullying is on-going and the school system has to be prepared to teach faculty how to detect when situations, such as bullying happens.
Ka'Shaad died just a few weeks before his 14th birthday, which would have been on march 10th.

About Maldives
Maldives, an archipelago consisting of over 1,000 coral islands grouped in 26 atolls, is one of the most vulnerable countries in the world to global climate change with its highest point only 8 feet above sea level. After 30 years of authoritarian rule, Maldives held its first democratic election and enacted its first constitution in 2008, though its democratic transition remains fragile. Located along major shipping routes in the Indian Ocean, a peaceful and resilient Maldives is critical to maritime security and regional stability.
USAID programs in Maldives seek to strengthen civil society and the electoral process to consolidate the country's democratic transition, as well as address the vulnerability of Maldivians and their livelihoods to climate-related impacts such as rising sea levels and drought.

Depression, anxiety, anger and other negative emotions have been linked to heart disease and heart attacks. But what about the flip side — are positive emotions connected to better heart health? Yes, say two reports that addressed this question from different directions.
At Duke University Medical Center, researchers asked 2,618 men and women scheduled to have a coronary angiogram (a special X-ray that shows blood flow through the arteries that nourish the heart) questions about what they expected their future cardiovascular health to be like. Fifteen years later, they found that those who'd had the highest expectations were 24 percent less likely to have died of heart disease than those with the lowest expectations. That study was published in the Archives of Internal Medicine.
The next study was long term and looked at Boston-area men. It took note of a marker of psychological and emotional health called self-regulation. It measures the ability to use and control both positive and negative emotions and responses to situations. High self-regulation reflects flexibility and resilience. In the group of men who scored highest on a test for self-regulation, 6 percent had a heart attack or died of cardiovascular disease over the following 12 years, compared with 14 percent in the group scoring lowest. The study was published in the Archives of General Psychiatry.
These findings add to the evidence that a positive outlook or positive emotions somehow contribute to a healthy heart and arteries. They may do it directly, in which case learning techniques to be more positive could be a prescription for better health. It's also possible that positive emotions could be working indirectly — people with positive attitudes or outlooks may exercise more, eat a more healthful diet or be better about taking necessary medications. Or maybe healthier lifestyles lead to a more positive outlook on life.

The University of South Florida and the Florida Lottery kicked off the fall semester Wednesday by honoring Bright Futures scholarship recipients.
Students attended a social with ice cream donated by Florida Lottery corporate retailer Winn-Dixie, according to a press release. They were joined by USF President Dr. Judy Genshaft and Lottery Secretary Cynthia O'Connell, who congratulated the students on their commitment to academic excellence. They talked with students about the relationship between Florida colleges and the Florida Lottery.
"Since the Florida Bright Futures Scholarship Program began in 1997, more than 166,000 Bright Futures scholarships have been awarded to students attending USF," said O'Connell in the release. "The Florida Lottery has contributed more than $3.6 billion overall to send more than 550,000 students to a Florida college or university since the program began. We are thrilled to give bright and talented young minds in Florida the opportunity to experience life-changing educational experiences that are made possible by lottery contributions to the Educational Enhancement Trust Fund (EETF)."
The Florida Lottery, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary, has been generating money for public education for 24 years, according to the release. It has donated more than $1 billion to the EETF for the past 10 years, and its contributions represent about 6 percent of Florida's total education budget.
In honor of its 25th anniversary, the Florida Lottery is unveiling a new interactive website, new partnerships and promotions, and a series of community events across the state.

Estonia solves cyber staffing problem with volunteers
Tuesday - 1/11/2011, 4:09pm EST
Not exactly. But General Keith Alexander, who heads up CYBERCOM, says the command is having serious trouble filling many of the remaining positions.
This staffing shortage is causing many in government to wonder where these experts will come from.
One possible solution is to copy the Estonia method. The European nation created the Cyber Defense League, a group of computer and networking specialists willing to volunteer their service as a cohesive military unit, NPR reports.
TechRepublic reports that right now the United States is not working on creating a similar League.

I shoudln't have worried. The organisation was amazing as was the support along the route. Gorgeous scenery and achievable effort. I had a great run and despite thinking I might only run one half ever I finished wanting to do it again. Great run.Date of review: November 3, 2012
In short: Well Organised and great sceneryIn full: The weather was perfect, I'm not sure I would have enjoyed as much crawlling up the trundle in the rain, it was a challenging course and would have found it harder if I wasn't running with a friend.The last few miles seemed to go on and on but will be back next year.Very well organised.Date of review: October 19, 2012
In short: Great scenery half way, friendly marshalls, value for money, needs slight route changesIn full: For a first time event, it went quite smoothly. always a test and the organisers did quite well. The start and finish area is good and nice to have good catering & refreshment facilities and merchandise outlets. The fab weather helped!The course: very mixed terrain! Strongly suggest varying the start and the run through the underpass. Potentially very dangerous. OK for the first few front runners, but could be a prob when the masses stream through. After that, a nice meander on back roads across fields, then up the long climb. Steepish near the top, but fab views. As a 'local' i knew what to expect. There is a long descent, followed by a long, straight, flat 5 miles on tarmac back to the finish. Lots of loose dogs here, so could be a prob. I nearly tripped over one of them! Some Marshall positions and route signage needs to be tweaked a little as not very clear. Particularly, as Tom Frost said, the Marshall at the start of the old railway line just off the main road was standing in the wrong place. I suggested that she move forward near the split in the path. She agreed. Otherwise, the rest was good. Plenty of Marshalls and all very happy and helpful. And plenty of water stations. Perhaps introduce cups next time? A huge waste handing out bottles just for a few sips!Nice goodies at end, but agree, the medal was a bit 'naff'.In summary: a very challenging route, great facilities and a nice city to run in. Just needs some slight changes and this could be a great race for the future and become popular.Many thanks to all the Marshalls, helpers and organisers for a great event and thanks to nature for the superb weather.Keep on running!Date of review: October 15, 2012
In short: Brilliant Race - terrible organisation!In full: Whats that about a brewary?Date of review: October 15, 2012
In short: Great first time event, varied interesting courseIn full: Well impressed with the organisation for this first time event. Loads of friendly marshals all over the place and great support in a lot of places. One marshal missing in Lavant, just before it turns off to go on the old railway under the main road bridge? The course was really varied over the first half and a long drag up and around The Trundle but presonally I did not mind that. Second half was nice and flat mostly along the old railway line on tarmac. Last few miles dragged a bit. Overall superb and has the makings of a classic race. Date of review: October 15, 2012
In short: Great new race to the top of the DownsDate of review: October 15, 2012
In short: ExcellentIn full: Really enjoyed this race, from the start of the warm up to the welcome back at the finish! Excellent warm up, I don't usually do the group warm up but it was quite cold so it really helped get me moving! Every marshal was happy and clapping, plenty of water stations. And a hearty welcome back with a good goodie bag. Overall very well organised, excellent first go. Date of review: October 14, 2012
In short: Enjoyable runIn full: A pleasant half marathon. Plenty of parking. Started on time. Loads of marshals, nice out route with great views at the out and back bit. A couple of pinch points on the outward leg that may be an issue if the event grows. You receive a mundane medal at the finish with an event bag that had bits and pieces including energy bar and a protein bar. Overal worth doing. Date of review: October 14, 2012
In short: excellent raceIn full: I am impressed how well organised the race was. The route was very well chosen and marked. Marshals were very helpful, plenty of water stations. I am already looking forward for the next one to beat my PB! Good job!Date of review: October 14, 2012
In short: The views are worth it at the top!In full: A tough race that takes in beautiful views of the South Downs. The race is a mix of road, mud and trail, effectively split in half. Uphill for the first 10K and downhill most of the rest. The uphill comes to a crescendo with the 2 mile steep climb up Chalk Pit Lane and then the Trundle, but the panoramic views at the top make it worthwhile. Then it's steep downhill and a quick race home.Organisation was good and friendly, and the atmosphere was pleasant. Mile markers were a little out. However, overall great for a first year event.Date of review: October 14, 2012

An account of how a prisoner of war's diary was recently decoded. Donald Hill wrote his diary in a numerical code, disguised as a set of mathematical tables, while in Hong Kong during and after the Japanese invasion of 1941.
How do you choose a partner? Is it an irrational choice or is it made rationally, based on a mathematical model which analyses the best potential partner you are likely to meet?
The previous feature, "Mathematics, marriage and finding somewhere to eat" investigated the problem of finding the best potential partner from a fixed number of potential partners using a technique known as "optimal stopping". Inevitably, mathematicians and mathematical psychologists have constructed other models of the problem...
Here is an experiment that you can easily do yourself to test Bernoulli's equation. There are also 2 questions and answers.

A Touch of Bittersweetness
Nay, I say as tears well up
I think of our full past
Together we had conquered all
and laughed with joy to last.
My memories, I want to keep
But sadness they do bring
Your smile I shall not see again
But regrets, no, not a thing.
Your contagious laugh, your glittering eyes
Like stars, you were so rare
But most of all, no one compares
To your loving touch; you care.
Forever more you shall remain
In hearts of everyone
For your heart of gold, we all do know
Familiar, yet eternally gone.

To perform a search, enter a keyword, phrase or item number in the search field and click "search."
We offer two ways to locate information:
Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
The wine has a magnificent garnet-red color with intense ruby-red reflections, of correct intensity and tonality. The nose is composite, rich, full and persistent, with hints of vanilla, sweet spices, tobacco, mountain hay and underbrush. Impressive taste sensations reveal the wine's imperious, noble, warm and velvety character, and the flavor is long and intense.
"Soaring aromatics emerge from the estate's 2004 Barolo Brunate. Menthol, dark cherries, spices, new leather and licorice are all to be found in this generous, layered wine. Sweet, ripe tannins provide a lovely bookend to this rich, classic Barolo from the Brunate vineyard. Still somewhat closed, it is likely to require at least a few years of bottle age. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2024.

The Wine Advocate
"The Brunate "grand cru" (because it really is considered among the top three best vineyards) has fatter soils with a higher clay content that shapes intense, well-structured wines. This expression delivers a beautiful bouquet of spice, berry fruit and vanilla shadings. The wine stands out thanks to its power and dimension. Drink after 2018"

SIRIUS HRI are compact reflector mercury vapor lamps designed for small and compact moving head fixtures with tight beams used at concerts and large events. SIRIUS HRI lamps have an optimized burner and base for every operating position. They show a very stable light output, as the high luminance decreases only slightly over the entire lifetime of the lamps.
HPL lamps were originally designed for the Source Four® series of fixtures. The unique top bridgeless construction eliminates filament shadowing, allowing for crisper images than ever before. OSRAM HPL lamps bring increased opportunities for stage, studio, TV, and architectural applications with superior light performance and maximum efficacy.
Professionals everywhere safely swap sources in seconds with Lok-It lamps from OSRAM. Lok-It lamps offer unparalleled performance in a compact, rugged platform built on PGJX28, PGJX36 PGJX50 or bases. Lok-It lamps have eXtreme Seal (XS) technology allowing 450ºC at the pinch seal. Brightness will "wow" any audience with short arc color temperatures from 5600-8000K. OSRAM offers the most options including Lok-It halogen lamps. Lamp replacement has never been easier with best-in-class OSRAM Lok-It lamps.
The Display/Optic global operating division manufactures LED light sources and luminaires for the entertainment and architectural industries. For these markets the LED products are marketed under the "KREIOS" family brand name. The KREIOS LED product family helps OEMs and
end users meet the diverse and dynamic requirements of the industry, while providing the benefits of increased energy efficiency and lower operating cost. Our long-time presence and extensive knowledge of these markets, combined with proven expertise in LED technology, allow OSRAM to create unique solutions of the highest value.
OSRAM aluPAR lamps are used to provide bright spot and wash lights during live stage performances. They are also ideal for studio, film, club, and architectural.
Unlike traditional PAR lamps, the reflector in aluPAR lamps is constructed out of aluminum instead of aluminized glass making them up to 50% lighter in weight. This makes for easer handling and lowers transportation costs.
In addition, aluPAR is an ECOLOGIC product, which indicates that it is environmentall preferable. ECOLOGIC products are engineered to pass the Federal TCLP (Toxic Characteristic Leaching Procedure) test for hazardous waste determination. At the end of life, the glass and aluminum are recyclable.
The aluPAR series of lamps work nicely with the OSRAM PAR-1 socket, making this the perfect system solution.
Current types available are:
OSRAM HTI®, HSR® and HSD® short arc metal halide lamps are ready to meet the demands of any stage, architectural or event application. The lamps are available in various configurations, each of which offers high lumen output in combination with crisp daylight color temperatures in the range of 5600 to 7800K.
For entertainment and stage applications such as those involving automated fixtures, HTI and HSR lamps offer an excellent balance of color performance, lumen output and service life. HTI lamp configurations include highly compact single-ended and focusing-reflector models. Single-ended HSR lamps feature an outer jacket for ease of handling and extended service life. HSD lamps are ideal for large scale architectural applications where both maximum output and long service life are important. HSD lamps are single-ended, with an outer jacket for ease of handling.
OSRAM HMI® metal halide lamps are used for film, TV and still photography. HMI lamps are the professional's choice for exterior and interior lighting simulating daylight color temperature of 6000K. In 1987 an OSCAR was awarded in the technical achievement category for the invention and continuous improvement of OSRAM HMI technology.
OSRAM makes a wide variety of halogen lamps for use in film, TV, stage, photography, concerts, nightclubs, exhibition and architectural as well as in virtually all types of projection systems.
Most OSRAM halogen lamps employ a biplane filament design for optimum light output, but special purpose lamps are available with u-shaped, bridge or axial filament designs. OSRAM gives entertainment professionals a choice of halogen color temperatures: 3400K for maximum light output, 3200K for film and TV work, and 3000K or 2900K for extended lamp life.
Special OSRAM XENOPHOT™ lamps use xenon in place of krypton as a fill gas for increased light output. OSRAM halogen lamps are available in a range of wattages, voltages and configurations both with and without reflectors and most versions are completely dimmable. OSRAM HPL* ULTRA PLUS (UCF) high performance ultra compact segmented filament lamps are designed for stage, studio and architectural applications.
Lamps have been engineered for maximum efficacy in ETC "Source Four"** series spotlight fixtures and provide up to 40 percent more light output in ETC fixtures than traditional 1000W halogen sources. Long Life (X) types with up to 2000 hours average rated life reduce change-outs during continuous performances.
