Recent Projects We've Completed For Our Clients
A Brief Summary of a Typical Landscape Design Project
Client Meeting
We meet with the property owner/client at the project site and discuss goals for the projects. Then a proposal agreement for our services is sent for review and approval of the client. This agreement spells out the fees and a description of the work to be completed
Design Phase
Based on discussions with the client and a site analysis for note taking, we develop a 2D schematic design plan or the landscape. This concept rendering is an illustration that shows how the property or landscape can look with the new design.
Sometimes we prepare more than one design schematic plan. And, during this design phase we may also prepare 3d design renderings to better depict proposed designs. During
Working Drawings
This is the part of the project where we really figure out how the project will be built. We work with clients to select materials, finishes, plants and more. We take the Phase 1 design sketch plan and turn it into working construction documents, which are comprehensive drawings, detailing the intent of how the project will be installed. Contractors will use these drawings to submit competitive bid proposals for the work. Drawings typically include Layout/Dimensions Plans, Planting Plan and Plant List, Working Construction Detailing, Specifications and more.
Using the intent of the schematic design plan (and 3D visualization), and the Phase 2 working drawings and details, we seek necessary approvals and permits. For example, Planning and Zoning Approvals, Wetlands and Conservation Permits, etc. Some projects may require that permits be applied for early-on in the process to be more confident that the project can indeed happen. For straight-forward projects there may be few or no formal permits required or only simpler approvals necessary.
At this point, SJLA conducts construction observation and clarifies design intent and assists in facilitating changes, correction and additions to the project. We also assist in the coordination between some trades that are working on the project. For example, we facilitate communication and coordination between landscapers, masons, fence contractors, carpenters, house builders, etc.

The objective of this proposal is to support the candidate's development into an independent clinical researcher. The outlined training plan will equip the applicant with the necessary skills to conduct patientoriented research with specific didactic training in biostatistics, neuroanatomy, behavioral neurology, and the ethical and responsible conduct of basic and clinical research. The overall goal of this project is to determine whether functional brain alterations in attention and memory systems may better elucidate early vulnerable brain regions in MCI patients at risk for cognitive decline. It remains poorly understood why some MCI patients progress to dementia, exhibiting selective vulnerability of cognitive-specific brain regions, while others remain stable or even improve. Alterations in brain activation have been exclusively assessed using episodic memory tasks. This approach remains limited in scope as many MCI patients exhibit pronounced deficits in both attention/executive function and memory domains. To accomplish this goal, our proposal will focus on a functional MRI paradigm of attention and memory in which subjects must first maintain focus during an anticipation period (attention) and then encode and recognize a visually-presented stimulus (memory). We will investigate the differential, task-specific activation of select brain regions in MCI patients and healthy controls. In addition, the neural response during the attention and memory phases will be compared to brain atrophy and cognitive performance. The goal of Aim 1 is to characterize alterations in neural activity during an attention and memory paradigm and assess the relationship between functional and structural MR! in MCI patients. The goal of Aim 2 is to measure the association between traditional neuropsychological tests of attention and memory and functional brain activation. The long-term objectives of this research are to investigate fluctuations in underlying neural networks of attention and memory in a large-scale, longitudinal study of MCI and healthy controls. In future research, we would collect multiple timepoints of fMRI and cognitive data and investigate changes in the underlying BOLD signal as cognition declines, improves, or remains stable. This will improve our understanding of the relationship between the BOLD signal and cognition. Ultimately, this will allow us to determine the utility of early neural fluctuations as a biomarker of those with or at risk for cognitive decline.
Although there are great advances being made on understanding AD and other dementias, there are still no effective methods available for early diagnosis. The identification of MCI patients who are likely to suffer from further cognitive decline is a critical, public health issue, but no effective biomarkers have yet been identified. Functional MRI is a promising new method for in vivo investigation of early neural changes in those with or at risk for cognitive decline.

In 2004, psychiatrist Judith T. Broder, M.D. attended a theatre performance of "The Sand Storm: Stories from the Front," a series of 10 monologues describing the Iraq war from the perspective of active duty marines. The play was written by Sean Huze, himself an active duty marine at that time. It was performed by Iraq veterans, including Huze, who later developed the theatre company VetStage. The play dramatically illustrated the horror of war and the trauma it brings to the young men and women who carry the burden. After the play, Dr. Broder felt a professional obligation to help our troops and their families manage the myriad of war-related mental health issues.
Dr. Broder then approached the Ernest S. Lawrence Trauma Center, whose mission is to provide free psychological services to populations "in-need" or "at-risk" in and around Los Angeles. She proposed that they jointly start a program to serve veterans. The Ernest S. Lawrence Trauma Center, under the aegis of the non-profit educational institution, the Los Angeles Institute and Society for Psychoanalytic Studies, agreed that its psychoanalysts could make a contribution to the community by providing free care for our service men and women and their families.
Dr. Broder started The Soldiers Project in 2004. She paid for a telephone line, started a website and gathered together a group of volunteer mental health professionals. They reached out to veterans groups, the VA, military bases, and community venues to raise awareness of the psychological consequences of war and the availability of free, confidential, individualized counseling, at private offices throughout Southern California.
Our licensed mental health professionals offer free psychotherapy to any military service member/veteran who has served Post 9/11. We also offer free therapy to their loved ones – boyfriends, girlfriends, spouses, children, parents and grandparents. There is no red tape, there are no fees, and there is no arbitrary limit on the number of sessions provided. We see individuals, couples, children, and families. We configure our therapy to meet the client's needs. Because we are in private practice, we have the flexibility to see people prior to, during and/or following return from deployment and to keep in touch via phone or the internet if needed.
Today, The Soldiers Project in the Southern California area alone has well over 200 volunteer therapists and more than 500 in the entire country. With calls coming in from all over the United States, affiliated chapters have developed in Sacramento, Washington state, Chicago, New York City, Long Island, Pennsylvania, and Wyoming.

I love my current marriage counselor. It seems like my relationship with my wife and my beautiful baby girl and a boy is gradually improving. My anger issues decreased slightly, and still working on my PTSD symptoms but the marriage counselor from The Soldiers Project is really helping our family stay strong!!! I strongly suggest The Soldiers Project to other fellow vets who were diagnosed with PTSD, TBI and anxiety disorders, tinnitus and migraine, sleep apnea!!! Well these are my symptoms and I'm 100% service connected vet but I also suggest this [organization] to the other fellow vets even if they're less then 100% service-connected as well as non-service connected vets… All across!!!
After three years of struggling I am doing very well. I spent 2014 coming off 10 of my 12 prescription meds in the woods of South Jersey. I know, crazy right? I am seeing Dr. Goodman and he is great. I know it took me a while to come around but I appreciate you sticking with me. I owe a lot to The Soldiers Project. Thank you. Also I am becoming active in the volunteer/activist circles taking up some of the most important issues affecting my brothers and sisters in arms today. I am in a place where, to give back is therapeutic. Thank you for all you do for us …
Seeking therapy helped me to realize a lot of my stress and emotional responses were a result of experiences previous to and exacerbated by my military experiences, rather than solely caused by the military and my deployments. My therapist helped me to frame my emotional responses to stress and conflict more positively and take tangible steps for working through problems. I think becoming more aware of my beliefs and behaviors that have become ingrained over the years has helped me to address and thinking through things differently and in better ways.
When I first started to see a therapist through The Soldiers Project I was angry and violent, my marriage was falling apart, I didn't go out of the house other than to school, I couldn't handle driving a car, I had panic attacks on weekly and sometimes daily basis. After getting counseling I learned how to deal with anxiety and panic, I was able to go out and do more things. My relationships grew stronger with family and friends. I learned that I was allowed to be happy and live the life that I wanted to live. I'm now working a dream job in a location that I absolutely love and I feel that this wouldn't have been possible without the help I received from The Soldiers Project.

Julie Vincent Named DeKalb County Teacher of the Year
An educator from Northside Elementary School was named "DeKalb County Teacher of the Year" Friday night during the third annual Teacher of the Year banquet at DCHS.
Julie Vincent received the honor and a check for $150 from Liberty State Bank, the sponsor of the banquet. The presentation was made by Director of Schools Mark Willoughby and Roy Nelson Pugh of Liberty State Bank.
Vincent was among five local educators who were recognized during the banquet for being chosen by peers as "Teacher of the Year" at their schools. The others were Beth Pafford from Smithville Elementary School, Mike Lewis from DeKalb Middle School, Vicki Wilson from DeKalb West School, and Chris Vance from DeKalb County High School.
Three of the educators, Vincent, Lewis, and Vance, earlier this year were selected "Teachers of the Year" locally and competed for regional honors in the Tennessee Teacher of the Year Program.
Willoughby congratulated Vincent for being named "DeKalb County Teacher of the Year" as well as the other teachers. "In my opinion all of our teachers are teachers of the year, but the peers of each school selected their teacher of the year. We sent information on each teacher of the year to the state department of education, where their credentials were reviewed. There, they considered what the teachers had done in their careers thus far and made a selection for teacher of the year in DeKalb County. Based on that, we took this occasion tonight to present the award to Mrs. Vincent. We're very proud of her. She has done an amazing job as a teacher and she is a super person. She is a great role model for our children."

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I'm a 29 year old female, and US born citizen; my boyfriend of 2 years is an illegal immigrant of West Africa. He entered the US legally under a tourist visa. His visa is now expired.
He would only be able to do so if he qualifies for 245(i), has a petitioner, and his priority date is current.
The statement above is general in nature, as not all the facts are known. You should retain an attorney to review all the facts specific to your case in order to receive advise specific to your case. The statement above does not create an attorney/client relationship.
There is no family-based visa category for a fiance or boyfriend of a U.S. Citizen who has overstayed his visitor's visa and is in the U.S. unlawfully. Upon marriage, however, a U.S. Citizen wife may petition for her husband to adjust status in the U.S. to become a Lawful Permanent Resident (to get a "Green Card"), notwithstanding that he has overstayed his visa.

The spouse of a US citizen is considere an immediate relative. There are no visa restrictions for an immediate relative, in other words, a visa is immediately available.
This post is not legal advice, and does not create a lawyer-client relationship.
No, since your fiance is in the U.S., you cannot apply for legal status for him unless you get married. Once you are married, you may apply for an Immigration Petition for your Husband to adjust his status and obtain permanent residence or a green card.

Since he has overstayed his nonimmigrant tourist visa he would not be able to change status to another nonimmigrant status (There are a few exceptions to this such as for a victim of a crime or abuse). If he has overstayed by more than 6 months he is accruing unlawful presence and if he leaves the U.S. he will trigger either a 3 year or 10 year bar dependign on how long he has overstayed so he is in a risky situation. If he gets pulled over for driving without a license for example he is likely to be processed for removal from the U.S.
If marriage is in your immediate future and he can avoid being picked up, best strategy is to get married and then have you file for him while he is in the U.S. Since he has a legal original entry, he will be able to file for work permit and green card along with your peititon even though he is out of status and may have worked without authorization.

Last night President Obama overstepped the Constitutional bounds of his office by extending a form of amnesty to an untold number of millions of illegal immigrants.
Judge Andrew Napolitano has been speaking about the potential ramifications and consequences of such an action, and he basically says there is "only one option" for dealing with it: Impeachment.
The judge reiterated that view yesterday, speaking with Tom Sullivan on Fox News Radio, ahead of Obama's announcement.
Advertisement - story continues below
He said that while Obama does indeed have "prosecutorial discretion", which allows him to determine the priority of crimes that will or won't be prosecuted, if such discretion is applied too broadly, as is the case here, it essentially nullifies the law, which is not within the scope of the President's powers.
"If there are 11 or 12 or 13 million foreign nationals living in the United States illegally, and the President says to half of them, 'We will not deport you if you do A, B, C, D, and E', and if he makes up the A, B, C, D, and E, it does not come from the law, he is effectively rewriting the law, or nullifying the law, and that the Constitution doesn't permit."
As far as the so-called "legal authority" to make such changes to the law that is being claimed by the Obama administration, Napolitano points directly to the contemptible Attorney General Eric Holder, who he says has no credibility.
Advertisement – story continues below
"You can find a lawyer to justify virtually any position you want."
"We have laws, they were on the books before he became President of the United States, he knew what those laws were when he took his oath, he knew what those laws were when he swore to uphold them faithfully, he's violating the oath."
"Impeachment is the only lawful remedy under the Constitution."
Advertisement - story continues below
"This is a refusal to enforce the law, this is a rewriting of the law, this is nullification of the law."
"I think the President has stolen power from the Congress, has imbalanced the relationship between the three branches of government, and that eventually means less personal freedom, because if Barack Obama could get away with this, then 'fill-in-the-blank', a President 5, or 10, or 20 years from now could get away with rewriting any law that they want."
The judge finished up by saying this sets a dangerous precedent that could easily be exploited by a later President, and wonders why Democrats aren't more up in arms, as the next time this happens it probably won't be about immigration, but could be about a law that they like and don't want to see nullified or rewritten unilaterally.
Please share this on Facebook and Twitter if you agree with Judge Napolitano and think that impeachment is the only true remedy left for dealing with Obama's unconstitutional actions.

- Notes:
- Significance: During March 26-28, 1862, Union forces defeated Confederates from Texas in the significant Civil War Battle of Glorieta Pass. The heaviest fighting occurred at Pigeon's Ranch, March 28, the hacienda serving as a temporary field hospital with many of the dead buried on the ranch lands. A Missourian of French descent, Alexandre Pigeon or Valle (he used both names in New Mexico), was a successful Santa Fe Trail trader who established a sheep ranch and wayside stop in the 1850s. Located in a tight canyon near Glorieta Pass approximately twenty-five mile east of Santa Fe, the ranch complex straddled the trail. The main hacienda was a rambling single story, rectangular building of over twenty rooms with a shallow pitched roof. Trees shaded an interior patio. Outbuildings, stables, corrals, and well house surrounded the hacienda. The structure also served as a stagestop and a trailside inn. The ranch deteriorated after Pigeon's death in the 1870s. After the construction of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad through the pass, in 1880, traffic was diverted away from the trail in 1925, Thomas L. Greer bough the "Old Pigeon Ranch" where he opened a store of curios, postcards and other sales items for tourists along what was later designated U.S. Route 66. He published a brochure describing the hacienda as a "Spanish fort" and the well as "Coronado's Well." The curio store and roadside attractions remained in operation into the 1960s. Greer died in 1968. State supported archeological surveys mapped the site in the 1970s and 1980s. Stabilization of the remaining adobe structure, part of the original hacienda, occurred in 1978-9. The National Park Service acquired the significant Pigeon's Ranch in 1992 as part of the Glorieta Pass Unit of Pecos National Historical Park.

Please use the following steps to determine whether you need to fill out a call slip in the Prints and Photographs Reading Room to view the original item(s). In some cases, a surrogate (substitute image) is available, often in the form of a digital image, a copy print, or microfilm.
Is the item digitized? (A thumbnail (small) image will
be visible on the left.)
Yes, the item is digitized. Please use the digital image in preference to requesting the original. All images can be viewed at a large size when you are in any reading room at the Library of Congress. In some cases, only thumbnail (small) images are available when you are outside the Library of Congress because the item is rights restricted or has not been evaluated for rights restrictions.
As a preservation measure, we generally do not serve an original item when a digital image is available. If you have a compelling reason to see the original, consult with a reference librarian. (Sometimes, the original is simply too fragile to serve. For example, glass and film photographic negatives are particularly subject to damage. They are also easier to see online where they are presented as positive images.)
No, the item is not digitized. Please go to #2.
Do the Access Advisory or Call Number fields above indicate that
a non-digital surrogate exists, such as microfilm or copy prints?
Yes, another surrogate exists. Reference staff can direct you to this surrogate.
No, another surrogate does not exist. Please go to #3.
If you do not see a thumbnail image or a reference to another surrogate, please fill out a call slip in the Prints and Photographs Reading Room. In many cases, the originals can be served in a few minutes. Other materials require appointments for later the same day or in the future. Reference staff can advise you in both how to fill out a call slip and when the item can be served.
To contact Reference staff in the Prints and Photographs Reading Room, please use our Ask A Librarian service or call the reading room between 8:30 and 5:00 at 202-707-6394, and Press 3.

Wind 2.0: Next Generation Wind Energy
Often when people think of wind power, they think of tall white turbines standing still, waiting for a gust of wind so they can generate electricity. Traditional windmill models rely on strong currents and backup sources to provide consistent energy, however, Airborne Wind Energy Systems are working on solutions for dependable wind power. These systems employ tethered wings or aircrafts that reach high altitudes to access consistent jet streams and reliable wind currents. Electricity can be generated at ground level from the traction created when the wind pulls on a tether or from turbines integrated with the airborne equipment, as is the case with Google's Project Makani. This technology has also been considered for environmental monitoring, telecommunication, and agribusiness applications. Wind 2.0 technology has tremendous potential for on and off grid energy production, and will be a cost effective way to diversify power grids in the future. Join us on January 26th to learn about how the new generation of wind energy is taking off.

About the Speakers

1. You go out of your way to be nice to people you wouldn't normally befriend.
There are some resources that money can't buy, and one of them is friendships. Friendships can be the difference between you and free food, you and a terrible day, and you and getting fired. Being mean for no reason other than it's convenient just hurts you.
Going out of your comfort zone is the only way you'll grow.
2. You remember small details about people, and they always like you more as a result.
Remember that time you were inexplicably attracted to someone who happened to remember your weird interest in fridge magnets? It was because they remembered your weird interest in fridge magnets, and you felt so flattered you were able to overlook all those weird stains on their shirt.
Bonus: Remembering details about people helps you to remember their names.
3. You know that sometimes you have to just smile and nod when people treat you badly. (And that doesn't mean those people are right.)
"The customer is always right," really means "The customer is always right, because they are the ones with the money, but as soon as they leave we are totally making fun of them, because who the fuck actually behaves like that in public?"
Just because you have to give in to someone's ridiculous behavior doesn't mean you should lose sight of who is in the wrong. Or worse, blame yourself for someone else's attitude problem.
4. You always carry a writing utensil so you can write things down.
Even if you have the best memory in the world, you never know when a shit storm is going to break out. Chaos could break out — or worse, your phone could run out of battery — and if that happens, you'll be glad to have that analog back-up.
Plus, it's a just a good idea to have a pen, as you never know when you (or someone else) will need it.
5. You actually pay attention when people talk to you.
Yes, it's really hard to pay attention when people are speaking to you, especially if it's loud, or your phone's blowing up, or if what they're saying is really, really boring.
Unfortunately, asking someone to repeat something they've said once because you weren't listening not only wastes time, but it tells them that you don't care about them, and you definitely don't want them to think that.
6. You're willing to do favors for people.
Sometimes, you'll be in a position to do something for someone that's easy for you, but would be hella difficult for them. Take the chance to make their lives easier, because you never know when the position might be reversed.
We're all in this together, especially when "this" is a horrible dinnertime shift when half the wait staff has called in sick with turtle flu, and the stove decided it was all done with functioning.
7. You don't sweat the small stuff.
Yes, there may be something wrong with the food, a crying child will be bothering people nearby, or a drunk person may get upset when you refuse to serve them more alcohol.
But unless you are ACTUALLY that drunk person, crying child, or bad food (or some sort of goddamned wizard), you have to learn to just roll with the stuff that's out of your hands.
8. You know that a sincere apology goes a lot further than you think it will.
This is especially helpful whenever you're in a confrontational situation. Instead of trying to make excuses, or giving a passive-aggressive apology, owning up to mistakes (sometimes even if it wasn't entirely your fault) can often put out a much larger fire.
9. You know that there's a time and place for personal problems.
Whether you're currently working in the service industry, or somewhere outside of it, everyone has one of those awful days where all you want to do is curl up and weep. And then weep some more.
The thing is, that while it's always important to be true to your feelings, learning when and where to do that are incredibly crucial. (Unless your dream job is auditioning for The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, in which case, CRY YOUR EYES OUT.)
10. You know not the judge people by their appearance.
Some of the people who I thought would leave the worst tips, always left the best ones. It taught me that everyone should be treated with the same level of respect, because you never know what kind of a person they are just by looking at them.
This is a good rule to follow not only at work, but in life. (And hey, if Belle from Beauty and the Beast could figure this one out, then we should too.)
11. You know that manners make a big difference.
If there's one thing you learn in a service job, it's that some people are very rude. Those people can easily put everyone in a terrible mood.
Bottom line: Be aware that you're in public, and you're a grown-up. This is not to say that you have to open everyone's door, but it doesn't hurt to add in that little extra effort. You never know, it just might make their day.
12. You understand that just because someone is having a bad day, doesn't mean they're a bad person.
Everyone has bad days. Being mean back won't make things better, it will only put that person in an even worse place.
Vice versa, if you're having a bad day, try your hardest not to take it out on the people next to you. Keep that ish to yourself.
13. You know that sometimes you have to work with people you don't like, and it will make you a better person.
"If you can survive this, you can survive anything," is a phrase I've had to tell myself before. I don't know why, but every workplace has one. That one person who will just make you want to put a bottle of whiskey in your desk and take good, long pulls in the afternoon.
Just me? OK, well…
Even if you change jobs, there will always be THAT guy. So, it's good to learn how to deal with people's weird personalities. That's not to say that you have to be overly nice to them, but at least be civil. And eventually, when THAT guy leaves, or you do, you'll have great stories to tell your friends.
14. You know how to work well under pressure.
Being able to work under tight deadlines and multi-task is a skill, and a big one you learn when in a service job. Ever notice how the people going home with the biggest tips at the end of the night are usually the ones who had multiple tables going? No matter what you do in life, if you're someone who excels when under the gun, you're going far.
15. And even if they don't say it, you know that people understand how hard you work.
It's no secret that working a service job, or any job, is often thankless. But it's the small things you do that will help other people get through their crappy days, and they'll silently thank you for it with a generous tip.
And just in case you're having one of those days, and you need a reminder: YOU ARE GREAT!

Human Molecular Genetics | Year: 2011
Mutations in the heart and muscle isoform of adenine nucleotide translocator 1 (ANT1) are associated with autosomal-dominant progressive external opthalmoplegia (adPEO) clinically characterized by exercise intolerance, ptosis and muscle weakness. The pathogenic mechanisms underlying the mitochondrial myopathy caused by ANT1 mutations remain largely unknown. In yeast, expression of ANT1 carrying mutations corresponding to the human adPEO ones causes a wide range of mitochondrial abnormalities. However, functional studies of ANT1 mutations in mammalian cells are lacking, because they have been hindered by the fact that ANT1 expression leads to apoptotic cell death in commonly utilized replicating cell lines. Here, we successfully express functional ANT1 in differentiated mouse myotubes, which naturally contain high levels of ANT1, without causing cell death. We demonstrate, for the first time in these disease-relevant mammalian cells, that mutant human ANT1 causes dominant mitochondrial defects characterized by decreased ADP-ATP exchange function and abnormal translocator reversal potential. These abnormalities are not due to ANT1 loss of function, because knocking down Ant1 in myotubes causes functional changes different from ANT1 mutants. Under certain physiological conditions, mitochondria consume ATP to maintain membrane potential by reversing the ADP-ATP transport. The modified properties of mutant ANT1 can be responsible for disease pathogenesis in adPEO, because exchange reversal occurring at higher than normal membrane potential can cause excessive energy depletion and nucleotide imbalance in ANT1 mutant muscle cells. © The Author 2011.

Epilepsia | Year: 2011
Slowing of cognitive skills represents one of the diagnostic criteria of Dravet syndrome. This Italian multicentric study aims at clarifying the roles of epilepsy and/or underlying genetic alteration in determining the cognitive outcome. The study includes infants that were either in follow-up (retrospective study: 26 cases) and newly diagnosed (prospective study: in progress). Our multicentric study shows that slowing of cognitive achievements becomes evident during the second year of life in all cases, and that the epilepsy phenotype indeed has a prognostic value. In this study the early appearance of absences and myoclonic seizures is associated with the worst cognitive outcome; whereas convulsive prolonged seizures do not seem to represent, per se, a bad prognostic factor for mental outcome. In this study, statistical analysis failed to reveal differences in the cognitive outcome with regard to the presence and type of SCN1A mutation. © Wiley Periodicals, Inc. 2011 International League Against Epilepsy.

Epilepsia | Year: 2011
The comprehensive care of a patient with Dravet syndrome encompasses both the "care" and the "cure" of the patient, and requires cooperation among family, doctors, and several other specialized caregivers to search for the attainment of the best quality of life for the patients and their families. Several issues peculiar to the disease to be faced while dealing with the patient are: (1) SMEI is an "evolving" disease that appears in an otherwise healthy child with symptoms that appear and mutate throughout the course of the disease; (2) the severity of the disease is not fully predictable at onset and appears to be individual-specific; (3) the seizures are invariably drug resistant and seizure freedom is not a realistic goal; and (4) in addition to seizures many other invalidating clinical problems, including cognitive impairment, behavior disorders, and a number of comorbidities characterize the disease course. The comprehensive caring must be physician-guided and patient-centered and implies a multidisciplinary approach to be built around the children and caregivers, who need to be guided through the steps of the diagnosis, treatments, and managements of the various comorbidities. © Wiley Periodicals, Inc. 2011 International League Against Epilepsy.

Neurological Sciences | Year: 2011
In patients with Chiari malformation type 1 (CMI), epileptic seizures are occasionally reported both in symptomatic patients candidate to surgery and in patients without symptoms of tonsillar displacement in whom CM1 is often an incidental finding in the diagnostic work up for idiopathic epilepsies. In both groups of patients, the course of epilepsy is almost invariably favorable, with a few seizures easily controlled by treatment. In a subset of CM1 patients, epilepsy occurs in the context of neurodevelopmental disorders that also include mental retardation, autism and somatic dysmorphisms. Epileptic seizures must be accurately differentiated by potentially harmful paroxysmal events due to compression of the medulla, particularly by the cerebellar fits characterized by drop attacks, abnormal extensor posturing and apnea. © Springer-Verlag 2011.

Introduction: This study aims to review the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) aspects of a large series of patients with focal cortical dysplasia type II (FCD II) and attempt to identify distinctive features in the two histopathological subtypes IIa and IIb. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the MRI scans of 118 patients with histological proven FCD IIa (n∈=∈37) or IIb (n∈=∈81) who were surgically treated for intractable epilepsy. Results: MRI was abnormal in 93 patients (79 %) and unremarkable in 25 (21 %). A dysplastic lesion was identified in 90 cases (97 %) and classified as FCD II in 83 and FCD non-II in seven cases. In three cases, the MRI diagnosis was other than FCD. There was a significant association between the presence of cortical thickening (p∈=∈0.002) and the transmantle sign (p∈<∈0. 001) and a correct MRI diagnosis of FCD II. MRI positivity was more frequent in the patients with FCD IIb than in those with FCD IIa (91 % vs. 51 %), and the detection rate of FCD II was also better in the patients with type IIb (88 % vs. 32 %). The transmantle sign was significantly more frequent in the IIb subgroup (p∈=∈0.003). Conclusions: The rates of abnormal MRI results and correct MRI diagnoses of FCD II were significantly higher in the IIb subgroup. Although other MRI stigmata may contribute to the diagnosis, the only significant correlation was between the transmantle sign and FCD IIb. © 2012 Springer-Verlag. Source

Gear breakdown: Behind the scenes with Chase Jarvis
Seattle-based commercial photographer and videographer Chase Jarvis has posted a show-and-tell video about the core gear he carries with him on shoots. Jarvis maintains a popular blog and is the co-founder of creativeLive, with whom DPReview partnered for our December 'DPReview Live' event.
In the video, you can see bags of photo and video gear sitting on industrial shelving in the background. Rather than going through every piece of equipment he owns, Jarvis presents his essential camera gear, the stuff he takes with him on every shoot.
For still photography, he shoots with Nikon D4 bodies (the video was shot before the D4s was available, but he says he'll be upgrading) and counts several Nikkor lenses among his essentials: 14-24mm F2.8, 24-70mm F2.8 and the 70-200mm F2.8. Add a couple of SB-910 speedlights, chargers, at least eight batteries for the D4 and an assortment of accessories and that's pretty much his standard kit.
Jarvis shoots his 'behind the scenes' videos with the Canon EOS 5D Mark III and his "run and gun" gear includes several L-series Canon lenses such as the 24-105mm F4, 16-35mm F2.8 and the 70-200mm F4.

Good job!
Thanks for some very good info. As usual, many of the comments here are of the snarky variety that seem to always accompany any personal viewpoints expressed online.
While contrary opinions are always welcomed, ... sort of, ... the problem is that some good, though shy, shooters would never express their own opinions about the gear they use in fear of being slammed mercilessly by "others" in the comments section. That's a real shame, since it limits what we can all learn from others.
Personally, I've never heard of Chase Jarvis until today, but if he can offer good advice, I don't really care if I have heard of him, unlike some others who have commented. Part of the snarky reply problem may be due to the fact that photography is a rather private and personal undertaking, and not a "team sport." Besides that, many of us are essentially competing against each other for the same clients, which doesn't lend itself to much camaraderie among shooters.
Just my two cents worth.
I heard of him once before and looking at his work, it seems to me he is a very good professional.
Although most of what I have seen on this video is very similar to what I pack ( I was expecting it to be), yet is always interesting spend a few minutes watching a different take on the subject, by someone who seems to be quite wise in his choices.
What? I was thinking only dinosaurs used those outdated camera with (arrgh) mirrors... :-)
Never heard of the guy ...
The pros say that "gear doesn't matter" while at the same time shooting with the best gear money can buy.
Best reply, ever.
Gear porn.
Who cares about that junk. What about the iPhone with accessories and apps? The useful stuff?
plan 10k to 15k over a couple of years to build your system, like 500 US a month (about the cost of a bike?).
D800, D7100, 14-24/2.8 (or a couple of f/1.8 primes), 24-70/2.8, 70-200/2.8VR2, an extender, three flashes, tripod
2.8+1.3 (w/ 18-140)+2.0+1.9+2.4+0.4+1.0+1.0 = 12.8k
12.8*1.2 = 15k (factor 1.2 for extra cost accessories, bags, ...
The most essential part of his kit is his personality and marketing strategy.
My favourite this about Chase is that he doesn't care about gear at all! He uses cheapo primes or standard zooms and just takes amazing photos.
Always loved Dakine packs. They've made great stuff for the snowboard world for years. Check out Burton's photo packs, as well. Real world stuff for real world outdoor shooting by people that actually do.
actually this is a good buying guide for new amateur users (with some modifications). just plan a system like Jarvis and that's the cheapest (best cost performance) plan than keeping buying low quality gears = waste of money.
some alternative gears may be
- instead of two D4's, one D800/D610 or D700, plus one D7100,
- instead of two 5D3's, one 5D3/6D, plus one 70D,
- Canon 24-70/2.8L2 and 70-200/2.8LIS2 instead of cheaper lenses,
- 50/1.4 (Sigma 35/1.4) instead of 35/1.4L,
- get the most robust tripod/head that you can carry first,
It's just "gear", and not "gears".
For example: "I have lots of gear" or "Need to sell some of my gear"
Not being pedantic, but I've seen you make that mistake many times...
Buy low quality gears and your chain will break.
"Not being pedantic, but"
I missed the Agfa Clack :-)
Canon and Nikon in one bag!
Is that legal?
Not just living dangerously, but living on the razor's edge. (Or should it be the sandpaper's edge?)
Offcourse it is legal. As long as you use the Nikon to make your pictures.

"So much waste, cost and poor customer service" (I took it from azimo.com)
This is a review of money transfer experience with azimo. Thanks to azimo.com, I was in such a terrible situation that I decided to create this website to warn other people about problems I have had.
I was abroad without cash and I transferred money from my UK debit card to myself using azimo. Azimo took my money. However, I did not receive my money and I also could not transfer it using another service because azimo.com did not refund it! I have sent 11 emails to azimo.com. Some of the emails were just ignored, some replies contained empty promises. I got part of my money back only two weeks later. After one month Azimo.com still holds some of my money and I was told that they will not be refunded. I think that people must be aware of the real face of azimo.com and I decided to write this review for azimo.
My story
On the webpage azimo.com you can see the following statement
"Based in London, we serve customers…"
This phrase should increase consumer confidence and I believed them. However, the company's work absolutely does not correspond the UK standards according to my experience.
Azimo.com states
"100% money back guarantee"
"Send money… Our amazing support team are here to help if required. We are dedicated to taking care of your money 24/7…"
It's not true, once they get your money, they could not respond and forget about you (as they did with me).
I was abroad without cash. I thought that it is a cheaper option to transfer money with azimo.com than withdrawing cash from my debit card. Azimo took my money. However, I did not receive the transfer. I started to send emails to azimo.com (I have sent 11 emails). Some of my emails were simply ignored, some azimo replies contained empty promises. Azimo also did not do any refund. They said it would come in 5 working days, and then just shifted the date further blaming their business partners. Thus, thanks to Azimo and their partners I was stuck abroad with no money. I got part of my money back to my UK account only two weeks later. The fee that Azimo took for their inefficient service were not returned. So, I can say for sure that there are no "100% money back guarantee" and "amazing support team…taking care of your money 24/7"!
I would not recommend anyone to use azimo.com!
The email that I sent to get my money back
I did two unsuccessful transactions. These are details of Transfer R551316063:
15 Apr 2015 – Azimo took money from my account.
29 Apr 2015 – Azimo refunded money back to my account excluding the fee for their service.
17 Apr
I: Could you please cancel my transfer R551316063. It takes too long.
20 Apr
Azimo: Thanks for writing. I'm sorry to say that we cannot cancel this transfer, as it's already been paid out to your beneficiary on April 15, 2015.
21 Apr
I: Could you please tell me what is the latest date when my transfer R551316063 must be delivered? It has not arrived.
Azimo: The latest date would have been today (5 working days after the bank received your funds)[…]
I: Could you please do the full refund as soon as possible? I think that it is illegal to hold my money for such a long time. Your website says it is 24h, your support team say it is 5 days, but it is not the truth! I need this money. I cannot afford to keep it with you or your partners.
Azimo: Azimo did deliver your order within 24 hours. Your funds have paid out to the receiving bank, which has up to 5 working days to accept or reject your transfer. I'm very sorry to say that, until tomorrow evening (fifth working day following your order), the matter is beyond our control or our partner's. By tomorrow, the order will be either be credited to the receiving account or rejected by the receiving bank. If rejected, the cancellation will be automatic and I'll see to it that our finance team processes your refund right away. [Then azimo just forgot about me and my money]
24 Apr
I: Where are my money?
Azimo: NO REPLY.
27 Apr
I: Could you please tell me what is happening with my transfer R551316063? Azimo told me that my money had to be delivered or refunded one week ago. However, it did not happen. Could you please tell me where my money are? It is illegal to hold my money!
28 Apr [they just ignored me for one week, azimo.com calls it "amazing support team…taking care of your money 24/7"]
Azimo: Thanks for getting back to us. We've reached out three times to our […] partner, who confirmed that your funds hadn't bounced yet, even after the 5th working day consecutive to the payout date. I do apologize for the delay that it takes for the receiving bank to accept or reject your payment; however, this is, for now, out of our hands. I just reached out to our partner again to ask for an updated status. If need be, I'll request a proof of payment. I'll get back to you today. Meanwhile, I do appreciate your patience with us. […]
9 May
I: Azimo refunded part of the money that was charged from my account by Azimo. When will I get the rest?
11 May
Azimo: As per our Terms & Conditions, we refund without fee in cases such as this one (bounced transfer). We did perform the service for which you commissioned us. The fact that the receiving bank rejected your funds is, unfortunately, beyond our control. I hope this helps you understand the way we operate.
18 May
I: Thank you for you reply. As long as you charged me without providing the service, could you please tell me the particular reason why the money has not been transferred?
Azimo: NO REPLY.
The people who sent me emails from Azimo are Przemek and Patrick,
Azimo Ltd – Send Money to The World
16 Upper Woburn Place
London, WC1H 0BS, United Kingdom
twitter.com/azimomoney "
The main conclusion is that azimo takes you money and takes fees for their service, but you take all risks of their business and risks of their cooperation with partners. Azimo says that they deliver your money within 24 hours but if you ask for your money almost two weeks after, they just tell you "this is out of our hands".

Thirty-one percent of United Airlines' plane are currently equipped with Wi-Fi.
Of the 221 planes equipped with Wi-Fi, more than half, or 151 planes, are A319s and A320s. These planes fly in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and Central America.
United made news last year when it became the first U.S. carrier to offer satellite-based Wi-Fi on overseas routes, but a relatively low number of Wi-Fi-equipped planes travel on these overseas international routes.
The airline says it plans to equip additional aircraft with Wi-Fi each month.
United released the below graphic outlining how many of which planes are Wi-Fi-equipped as of April 2014.

This category lists or links to people who have a special significance with Cumbria. These people were either born here, and became well-known, or moved to Cumbria which they then made their home.
If the person has their own category - please submit to that one.
Campbell, Donald
Donald Campbell (1921-1967), was the son of Sir Malcolm Campbell. He made several attempts on the world water speed record in Bluebird II, which had a turbo-jet engine generating 4000 horse-power. In just over three years, Mr. Campbell broke the record in his celebrated jetboat Bluebird four times. In July 1955 he reached 202 m.p.h. on Ullswater in Cumbria. In November of the same year he touched 216 m.p.h. In September 1956 he averaged just over 225 m.p.h., and in November 1957 he reached 239.07 m.p.h. His aim was to better 300 miles per hour, which he did on 4th January 1967 on Coniston Water in Cumbria, but the craft, 'Bluebird', shot up into the air and disappeared into the lake. Until early in 2001, his body had never been found. On 8 March 2001, Bluebird was raised from the bed of Coniston Water, and on 28 May the remains of what was later proved to be Campbell's body were brought from the lake. A memorial service was held in Coniston church on 12 September 2001, and his body buried in the churchyard.
Clifford, Lady Anne
Lady Anne Clifford, Countess of Pembroke, was born at Skipton Castle on 30 January 1590, during the reign of Elizabeth I. She is celebrated for her diary and her tireless restoration of her properties in Cumbria and North Yorkshire which were badly damaged in the Civil War. She died at Brougham Castle in Cumbria on 22 March 1676, when she was 86 in the room where her father had been born.
Dalton, John
John Dalton, the son of a Quaker weaver, was born 6th September 1766, at Eaglesfield, Cockermouth, Cumbria, and died 27th July 1844, at Manchester. He was a British chemist and physicist who developed the atomic theory of matter and hence is known as one of the fathers of modern physical science.
de Vasconcellos, Josefina
Josefina de Vasconcellos (1904 - ), the world's oldest living sculptor. Married the artist Delmar Banner in 1930. Has lived in Cumbria much of her working life. Her work includes 'Reconciliation' at Coventry Cathedral and Bradford University, 'Holy Family' at Liverpool Cathedral and Gloucester Cathedral, 'Mary and Child' at St Paul's Cathedral, London, 'Nativity' (at Christmas) at St Martin-in-the-Fields Church in Trafalgar Square, London, and many more.
Rawnsley, Hardwicke Drummond
UK (1851-1920)- founder of The National Trust, writer of sonnets, hymns, friend of Beatrix Potter, honorary canon of Carlisle Cathedral, chaplain to the King, author, biographer, a keen amateur naturalist, an antiquarian, an ardent traveller, and a campaigner against objectionable postcards.
Wainwright, A.W.
Alfred Wainwright (1907-1991) will always be known for his seven Pictorial Guides to the Lakeland Fells. These handwritten and hand-drawn works of art have given inspiration to all true fellwalkers for the past forty years. In 1972 Wainwright devised the Coast to Coast Walk, which traversed the north of England from St Bees to Robin Hood's Bay.

There are reportedly only four NFL owners and two of the 10 players who are suing the league to end the lockout present at the mediation in Minnesota on Thursday.
The Kansas City Chiefs are well represented. An NFL spokesman tweeted that Chiefs' owner Clark Hunt is at the proceedings. ESPN's Ed Werder reported on "SportsCenter" that Chiefs' linebacker Mike Vrabel is also there. Vrabel has been visible during much of the negotiations.
Vrabel is on the NFLPA executive committee. Vrabel isn't keeping a low profile after his arrest last week at an Indiana casino for the alleged theft of alcohol. Vrabel has said it was a misunderstanding and he hopes it will soon be resolved.
In other AFC West news Thursday afternoon:
With Vrabel, a free-agent, aging and uncertain of his return to Kansas City, the Chiefs looked at North Carolina middle linebacker Quan Sturdivant.
Here is a look at how each division is stacking up in our position-by-position power rankings. The AFC West is ranked sixth in overall voting points.
ESPN.com takes an in-depth look at Arkansas quarterback Ryan Mallett. There has been speculation that because of questions surrounding his character, the strong-armed Mallett could potentially fall to Oakland at the No. 48 pick. Mallett physically fits the description quarterbacks Oakland owner Al Davis has long coveted.
San Diego coach Norv Turner is keeping busy during the lockout.
Denver second-year quarterback Tim Tebow has the fifth highest-selling jersey in the NFL. He had the highest-selling jersey for much of last season. I wonder if Tebow's jersey sales will dwindle if Denver takes a quarterback in the draft.
The Raiders continue to look at cornerbacks prior to the draft.
Former Oakland personnel man Mike Lombardi (who said he was not involved in the team's 2007 draft plan because he was on his way out of Oakland) did a draft redo for 2007. Instead of major draft bust JaMarcus Russell, Lombardi now has Jets' cornerback Darrelle Revis pegged for the Raiders. If only it was that easy.
