A key aspect of the sustainability of salmon aquaculture is the amount of fishmeal and fish oil contained within industry feed supplies, both of which are finite resources. The availability of these resources depends upon available quotas and the level of direct human consumption.
Salmon farming has grown from a few thousand tonnes in the early 70's to over 1.6 million tonnes in 2011. During the same period, the global production of fishmeal has been stable. As a result of consumer demand, pressure on these valuable resources is set to increase in future years from a number of industries, the GSI see the sustainability of feed sources as an emerging industry challenge. Working together, and in partnership with the United Nations' Food and Agricultural Organisation (FAO), we aim to research and develop new projects to support the sustainable management of available resources, and to review the potential of alternative resources.
It is a clear ambition of the GSI to reduce our dependency on marine raw materials, and over the past 20 years, salmon farmers have been gradually substituting marine raw materials with vegetable raw materials, while sustaining the health benefits and high quality of farmed salmon.
We are also working closely with a number of feed companies; EWOS, Skretting and BioMar, to ensure farmed salmon retains its high levels of nutrients and fatty acids, while working to reduce the pressure on the raw materials. Despite decreasing the use of fish oil over recent years farmed salmon remains one of the best sources of Omega 3 and provides a number of health benefits to the consumer.

S.A. Occhipinti, M. Lindsay, V. Metelka, *J. Hollis, *I.M. Tyler, A. Aitken, C. McCuaig, M.C. Dentith
* Geological Survey of Western Australia
Opening up greenfields regions for minerals exploration can be helped through regional-scale mineral systems analysis, using government pre-competitive datasets. This may be completed on a commodity by commodity basis, or through multi-commodity minerals systems analysis, and used as the basis for prospectivity analyses and mapping. The Geological Survey of Western Australia, through the Exploration Incentive Scheme has sponsored mineral systems analysis of several regions within Western Australia in order to boost the State's attractiveness to explorers.
One of these regions, the Halls Creek Orogen, in Western Australia contains mineral occurrences or deposits that formed from c. 1860–350 Ma. Ore deposition in this region took place during periods of supercontinent assembly and breakup that were manifested through the contractional 1865 – 1850 Ma Hooper and 1835–1805 Ma Halls Creek Orogenies, and to a lesser degree the Yampi 1400 – 800 Ma and c. 560 Ma King Leopold orogenies. These events were interspersed with periods of relaxation accompanied by extension. The CET completed mineral systems analysis in the Halls Creek Orogen in 2014 – 2015, followed by prospectivity modelling and mapping for seven commodity groups of various ages and ore genesis mechanisms within the region that include combinations of Ni, Cu, PGEs, V, Ti, Au, Pb, Zn and diamonds.
Crustal-scale tectonic architecture was found to link disparate styles and ages of mineralisation in the region. This work clearly illustrates that different tectonic terranes or'zones' of the Halls Creek Orogen are prospective for diverse commodity groups due to the tectonic environment in which they developed through time, their potential to be preserved in the current day surface or subsurface, and favourable depositional sites that may be present in these zones (structural or lithological).
Mineral systems analysis involves understanding key processes that control the formation and preservation of ore deposits (Fig. 1). These can include large scale processes such as the secular evolution of Earth, lithospheric controls on mineral enrichment, and geodynamic drivers (Cawood and Hawkesworth, 2013; Groves and Bierlein, 2007; McCuaig and Hronsky, 2014; McCuaig et al., 2010; Wyborn et al., 1994). Supercontinent formation and breakup clearly controls lithospheric enrichment and geodynamic drivers. Deep crustal-scale structures can act as fluid pathways connecting the deeper lithosphere to the upper crust, and occasionally act as depositional sites for ore deposition. Thus for regional-scale mineral systems analysis a 4D understanding of geological processes is required. Other controls, such as the development, or presence of specific lithologies may also be important (Cline et al., 2005).
The Hooper and Halls Creek Orogenies are thought to be results of accretion of the central and eastern zones of the Halls Creek Orogen during the diachronous assembly of the Paleoproterozoic supercontinent Columbia (Huston et al., 2012; Tyler et al., 2012). In addition to this the effects of the assembly of the younger supercontinent Rodinia (Li. et al., 2008) are noted in the region with the intrusion of c. 1200 Ma lamprophyres that host the giant Argyle diamond deposit (Jaques and Milligan, 2004). Phanerozoic basins in the Kimberley region, including the Devonian strata hosting Pb-Zn mineralization, developed during various stages of the amalgamation of Gondwana.
Fertility elements for the development of deposits of ore or gems could include hydrous magmas, zones of repeated magmatic fractionation, magmas with mantle input, metasomatism driven through magmatic processes, oxidised fluids, salinity or oxidised or reduced magmas (Groves and Bierlein, 2007). Although tectonic processes are a key element in ore deposit formation, specific triggers are required to form a mineral deposit (Wyborn et al., 1994), and these could include subduction initiation, changes in plate motion, compression along an arc section, topographic fluid flow via pressure gradients, magmatism, or a specific dynamic threshold barrier (e.g. resulting in the intrusion of sills as opposed to dykes; (Garwin et al., 2005; Groves and Bierlein, 2007; Gurney et al., 2005; Leach et al., 2010; Loucks, 2014; McCuaig and Hronsky, 2014; Occhipinti et al., 2016; Seat, 2007)).
Major crustal-scale faults or shear zones that intrinsically control the location of known ore deposits in the area, are implied to be sites of fluid migration and proximal to sites of ore deposition. Of these, orogen-perpendicular (northwest-trending) and orogen-oblique (north-trending) faults seem to be the most influential structures with respect to ore deposition in the Halls Creek Orogen, especially in regions where they intersect each other, or orogen parallel (northeast trending) major crustal-scale structures.
The western, central and eastern zones of the Lamboo Province make up the Halls Creek Orogen and contain distinct geological units that developed during the early Paleoproterozoic in diverse tectonic settings (Fig. 2; (Occhipinti et al., in press)). In summary, subduction, accretion and collisional processes are thought to have been interspersed with plate relaxation and rifting ((Occhipinti et al., in press; Tyler et al., 2012); Fig. 3) during the Paleoproterozoic. Rifting in the region culminated in the development of the Hart Dolerite and Carsten Volcanics, which are thought to be part of a large igneous province (Sheppard et al., 2012).
Deep crustal-scale structures are important as they are thought to control fluid and magma movement through the lithosphere. For example, in the Gawler Craton in South Australia it is implied that the Olympic Dam Iron-Oxide-Copper-Gold (IOCG) deposit formed over the intersection of a northwest trending deep crustal-scale structure with a paleosubduction zone that dipped west under the Gawler Craton (Groves, 2010; Hayward and Skirrow, 2010). Following this, Lindsay et al., (2016) mapped deep crustal-scale structures, that trend parallel to the trend of the Halls Creek Orogen (northeast trending), perpendicular to it (northwest-trending), and oblique to it (north-trending) using a range of geophysical datasets as well as geological mapping in the region. However, for the most part the tectonic architecture was analysed by allying a 2D map view geological-geophysical interpretation with 2.5D magnetic and gravity joint inversions of selected profiles, and a 3D Moho gravity inversion (MoGGIE).
The selected fuzzy logic-based inference network models require several predictor maps to be assigned membership values based on a combination of objective datasets and subjective model components (Occhipinti et al., in press). Each predictor map represents a component of a particular mineral system. We derived 70 predictor maps from geological maps, GSWA observations, geophysical interpretation layers and primary geophysical data. Seven prospectivity models (e.g. Figs. 5 and 6) partitioned by mineral/element associations were created: Au, Cu-Au-Mo, Pb-Zn-Cu-Ag, Ni-Cu-V-Ti-PGE, Sn-W-Mo, diamond and REE. The models combine predictor maps through a set of fuzzy operators to produce a final prospectivity map.
All of the models were constructed within the ESRI ArcToolbox ModelBuilder environment and can be easily rerun with different map weights or fuzzy operators (see Occhipinti et al., in press). The prospectivity toolbox is included in the final GSWA data package for distribution (Occhipinti et al., in press).
The results of this work and a GIS are included in two GSWA reports and a digital data package to be released online soon (Occhipinti et al., in press; Lindsay et al., in press). The resulting prospectivity maps suggest that the search space for most commodity groups can be narrowed down to less than 0.04% of the Halls Creek Orogen (Occhipinti et al., 2016). Geographically this implies than the area of ground to be explored at the camp scale could be less than 620 km2 for all commodities reviewed during this project. Although different parts of the Halls Creek Orogen are prospective for different commodity groups (Occhipinti et al., in press), the eastern zone remains the most prospective for Au mineralization; whereas Ni-Cu-PGE's are present across the western and central zones. Interestingly, results of the analyses illustrated that the most prospective regions for most minerals and diamonds is the central zone of the Halls Creek Orogen.
A workflow for regional to district scale mineral systems analysis has been developed at the CET. While this study analysed the east Kimberley region, our aim was to develop a generic and flexible workflow that can be easily applied to other regions. The results characterise areas of mineral prospectivity for several commodity groups in the Halls Creek Orogen and illustrates the control that major structures have on the location of mineral deposits. A mineral systems toolbox has been created as part of this project so that anyone can complete their own mineral systems analysis on the Halls Creek Orogen and applying their own weights to key system elements that have been mapped that the user thinks are most appropriate.

SRS Lash Flash #4: Mitali Perkins
For our final Lash Flash here at Holly's blog, we have the one, the only Mitali Perkins in the house! Don't forget to check out MG Lash Flasher Kristin O'Donnell Tubb at CuppaJolie today!
Besides being the brilliant author of MONSOON SUMMER, RICKSHAW GIRL, THE NOT-SO-STAR-SPANGLED LIFE OF SUNITA SEN, and her latest, SECRET KEEPER (which I highly recommend, Smackdowners!), Mitali blogs about life between cultures and issues in children's literature at her very popular blog, Mitali's Fire Escape. If you haven't seen her article for School Library Journal, "Straight Talk on Race: Challenging the Stereotypes in Kids' Books," read it here. See more about Mitali at her website, and follow her on Twitter!
Mitali is a keeper of revision secrets, too - here's the one she shared with us:
Revision is a key part of writing for me because it actually gets me all the way through a killer-hard first draft.
It takes about year for me to write a book. I begin by brainstorming in my journal (and/or during long, hot showers), letting characters and a narrative arc form themselves in my mind. Once I have that story arc and a strong character, I start writing by taking Jane Yolen's BIC (Butt in Chair) advice. That chair for me is usually in a local cafe. I tell myself I can't leave the place until I write at least 1500 words. I am only allowed brief bathroom breaks and one latte refill, and I give myself permission to write garbage because I know my strength is revision.
The next day I head out again (usually to another coffee shop as I don't want to wear out my welcome), and start by revising those 1500 words. Then I try to add another 1000 or so new words. The day after that, I revise those 1000 words, and try and write 1000 more, and so on, and so on, until I'm done with a very, very bad first draft. But once I have that lousy first draft done, the revision becomes more fun. I go back and hone and cut and polish and carve and paint and decorate until it's finally ready to send to my agent.
Thank you, Mitali! Stay tuned tomorrow, Smackdowners, for the Week #4 REVISION REPORT! (There will be a separate, final check-in for making your case for the WHIPLASH AWARD next week.)

Police have released a picture of the man they believe punched a woman in the face in a "cowardly attack" in West Auckland.
Noreen Roudin, 26, was followed by her attacker through the walkway leading towards Newham Pl after she got off a train at the Sunnyvale train station about 7.40pm Friday.
Police said the man grabbed Roudin and punched her in the face in an attempt to get her on the ground.
"The female resisted the assault by kicking and punching the male and finally scratching his face," Detective Sergeant Litherland said.
"In a gutsy display of courage, the victim was able to repel what was clearly premeditated and sinister attack."
Police said the man ran towards the train station and his victim was left bruised and shaken.
The attacker is likely to have suffered scratch marks to his face, police said.
The man was described as a skinny Pacific Island or Indian in his late 20s or early 30s with short black hair.
He was wearing a long-sleeved grey sweatshirt, black pants and black shoes.
Anyone who saw the man around the train station can call police on 09 839 0627 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

I hope that I get old before I die. They Might Be Giants
When I look in the mirror these days, I don't even have to search for them like I used to. Now they stick up at odd angles to the rest of my hair, demanding that their presence be known. It's become impossible to look at my head and not spot one immediately. They are my gray hairs and I love them.
I found my first gray hair shortly after I realized that I knew nothing. So, naturally, I associate gray hair with wisdom.
At 20, I remember thinking to myself, I've been through a lot: love and its demise, credit cards, my own apartment. I know so much. What more can I possibly learn? I was really quite certain that life had nothing else to teach me and that in terms of emotional development I had reached an apex. I didn't think that anything could take me by surprise. At 22, several life traumas crumbled my weakly built fortress of self, my trust in others and in myself and I thought: girl, you really don't know much!
Moments later I found the gray hair.
On a superficial level I equate gray hair with wisdom, in the same way some humorously associate blonde hair with lower intelligence. I see each gray strand as proof of some struggle or lesson learned, some obstacle overcome, some personal battle won. They are merit tokens, metaphors of introspective knowledge and self understanding.
Those who permit premature graying to show and who are able to carry themselves without concern about looking old appear distinguished to me. Vocal fear of aging is an integral part of youthful arrogance. Acceptance of the inevitable as something not completely undesirable and detestable is comforting wisdom.
30-something men with gray hair are sexy!
I saw a woman a few weeks ago at the museum. She was in her early 40's and was completely gray, her hair freely cascading over her shoulders in beautiful silver waves. Yet she carried herself with youthful abandon, as if to say: yeah, so what? She laughed in the face of the stigma attached to graying and her beauty lay in this defiance. She was casually flexing and asserting her inner strength and I admired her greatly. It was refreshing to see a woman who allows herself to age with pride instead of hanging onto the last fragments of youthful appearance with desperation. This act of disdain is akin to youthful rebellion and evidence of great confidence.
So here I am, 3/4's of the way through my 20's and my graying is slowly becoming obvious, but instead of hiding this fact I revel in it. I want to be that proud and confident woman who lets go of youth without regret and who isn't weighed down by the consumerist drive to look young. Several times I have had to fight off hair dressers, boyfriends and my mother to keep them from pulling out a gray hair. I am very defensive of them since I celebrate each and every one. I sit in front of the mirror sometimes, running my fingers through my hair. Happily, my eyes dart from one gray hair to the next.
However, premature graying isn't for everyone. Who knows, maybe in ten years I too will decide that I can't handle a full head of gray hair and follow in the footsteps of my mother and sister before me, Miss Clairol by my side. Maybe I am still too close my youth to miss it or regret its loss. Maybe my opinion is evidence of this fact. We shall have to wait and see.
At this point, however, I am not afraid of growing old. I am looking forward to it. If I continue to learn about the world and myself at the same rate that I have in the last five years, I will be a wizard by the time I reach my golden years and have the hair to prove it. This excites me.
In spite of the fact that most of my friends began getting gray hairs while quite young, I've still never stopped believing that the loss of melanin in the hair was a "senior" thing. I'm not a senior, nowhere near. Yet, I've started to gray.
I've had one little white hair, right at the top of my forehead, since I was 16. It was my pride and joy. I thought I'd earned it for all my deep, contemplative thoughts. My trophy, standing out boldly against my dark chocolate hair.
Then, a couple of months ago, IT started. I found another silvery strand less than an inch away from the first, and it was long. It floated around in the breeze, right in front of my face, hovered for a moment before my eyes, and mocked me. I screamed and yanked it out, throwing it hastily into the trash.
I've got to dye my hair…
A few days later, three more of the shiny gray demons showed up next to my ear. Oh god, oh no, far too many to pluck out without going bald! Mind you, I lose a handful per day and haven't noticed a difference in volume on my head. I freaked out and checked for accompanying wrinkles while my hair laughed maniacally at the horror and panic it had induced.
Ack! right there! under my eyes! I'm a crone! No, this can't be! I'm not wise enough for the role yet!
The day before yesterday, I found a matching set of the beasts over my other ear. The forehead hair was back, too, and had brought a friend. It struck me that if I were a man, I would be on my way to the delightful role of the "distinguished gentleman". Can gentlewomen be distinguished, too? Hmph, "no, Virginia", not by going gray.
As someone so unconcerned with appearances that most of my time is spent running around and in jeans and t-shirts, without a drop of makeup, I have to be amused at my own vanity. I don't think I'll spend $30 on wrinkle cream, but,
I'll just have to dye my hair.
Or not.

Together, We Make Solar the Most Affordable Energy Option
The Neighborhood Advantage
In the solar industry, it's a well-known fact that large, commercial solar installations are nearly always cheaper (per installed Watt) than smaller residential systems. The economies of scale utilized at the commercial level enable installers to offer a price per installed Watt that's much cheaper than the average residential solar installation. Ultimately, those who are able to purchase larger solar arrays enjoy better payback periods and higher return on investment.
Unfortunately, the benefits of these economies of scale are absent from residential solar installations. As a result, homeowners end up paying more per installed Watt than commercial buyers.
Neighborhood Solar's goal is to change that. In order to make solar a truly cost-competitive option for homeowners, we're helping solar installers leverage economies of scale on the residential level by encouraging them to perform simultaneous solar installations for many homes in the same area.
Neighborhood Solar helps coordinate homeowners in the same neighborhood or community to aggregate their purchasing power and choose a solar installer that will provide the best priced home solar system at the highest standards of quality, design and installation.

Jennie - I learned today you'd left us.
You left a big space down here, Jennie, Big shoes to fill...impossible job, I think.
You are home! You are with our friends,
Our family. Those who didn't make it.
Those whose lives were taken by Agent Orange.
Those who were some of your 'Dear Ones'.
We never met in real time, Jennie, But I knew you well. I knew your heart.
There was never a vet you turned down Who needed your help. I'd write, "Jennie, you have time for one more?" You'd answer, "Send them on" I always knew what your answer would be. We won't forget you, Jennie, What you stood for, what you have done, Your quilts, your work, your tireless efforts.
The spirit with which you fought those in power,
The humor that was present whenever you wrote.
Thank you, Jennie, for being a part of our life.
We will watch for your star, too. With love and deep respect,
Betty Davis 9/9/04
Hugs and Smiles, Jennie Agent Orange: My Story I am the widow of M/Sgt.Gerald H. Le Fevre USAF retired.
My husband served in Vietnam at Nha Trang AFB with the 15th Special Operations Squadron, an Air Commando Unit, from 1968 to
1969. He was an airborne radio operator on C-130 aircraft that also flew supply runs throughout all four corps of Vietnam. These aircraft transported Agent Orange at least twice a month which
my husband helped load and unload with his bare hands. He wrote to me from Nam stating that skin was peeling off his hands
in layers and he did not know why. He stated the doctor said it was jungle rot and my husband joked asked me if I was still
interested in him, that he was a rotting old man of thirty-five. My husband's radio position was in the cargo
section of the aircraft. The planes flew in and out of bases that had been sprayed including his own base. These aircraft
flew at low level through mists of Agent Orange, flying with the cargo doors wide open and the mist drifted into the aircraft
on many occasions. In May of 1989, fifteen years after his retirement from
the Air Force, Jerry was diagnosed with inoperable cancer of the lungs, liver, stomach, pancreas, lymph nodes, peritoneum,
bone, diaphragm, and omentum. The diagnosis of his cancer was adenocarcinoma of an unknown primary, the doctor was never able
to identify the original site of the cancer. At time of death, Jerry was also diagnosed with chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease, degenerative joint disease, obstructive jaundice, anemia, cardiopulmonary arrest, congestive
heart failure, emphysema, fibrous lungs, and extragondal germ cell tumor syndrome. His chest x-rays revealed abnormal status
of the lungs showing ventilation perfusion defects involving greater than 50 percent of his lungs. He also had the onset of peripheral neuropathy which was
never diagnosed and he also had body rash. At time of death, he also had kidney failure, pneumonia in both lungs, respiratory
failure and pulmonary emboli. His death certificate states, manner of death, as NATURAL.
How can that be? They could have at least stated Pending or Other, all of the things wrong with him was not natural by any
stretch of the imagination. He was in the military hospital at Andrews AFB, MD for seven months. He died on December 10th
1989 at the age of 56. My fight with the government was to begin before my husband
was buried at Arlington National Cemetery. Two days after his death, the children and I went to the funeral home to choose
a casket. The funeral director asked us to come into his office so we could hear the arrangements with Arlington National
Cemetery regarding funeral services in the chapel and burial at Arlington. The funeral director turned on the speakers so
we could hear the two way conversations, everything was arranged. So I thought. Jerry was to be buried three days later. Two days before
his burial, I received a telephone call from Arlington. They asked if the children and I had any remarks that we would like
the chaplain to say about my husband. They requested that we keep our remarks brief as they did not want the grave site services
to be too long because of the cold weather. I couldn't believe my ears, what was he saying, grave
site services. He stated there would be no services in the chapel. I proceeded to tell the officer my husband was entitled
to chapel services and that I had heard it being discussed with my own ears and I would settle for nothing less. After much
haggling and screaming on my part, two hours later they called back and said there would be chapel services after all. It gave me great pleasure to royally chew out the LtCol who was
giving me such a hard time. I am a USAF veteran of the Korean war, even though it was a sad time that day, it was a great
morale booster to be able to tell that officer off and tell him I knew what my husband's and my rights were. My husband was a highly decorated serviceman with the Distinguished
Flying Cross and Five Air Medals among many others, and to tell me he was not entitled to chapel services, no way. I literally
flew into a rage. After Jerry's death, I put in a claim through the DAV
stating that I believed his death was caused from his exposure to Agent Orange. For a year and a half I heard nothing from
the VA, there was a moratorium on Agent Orange claims at that time but they never notified me as such. Then I received a letter
from the VA stating that I was denied any accrued benefits under my husband's disability claim which he had submitted
while he was in the hospital. I found out later that the VA had not even reviewed my husband's medical records before denying
me anything. I checked with the hospital at Andrews AFB and found out the VA had
requested the medical records one week after they had sent me the letter of denial. It appears that the VA's left hand does not know what the
right hand is doing. I later received a letter that my claim for service connected
death had also been denied. I requested a hearing, I wanted to have my say. I waited another year and a half before I got
a hearing date. The DAV, on many occasions, had refused to return my calls of inquiry. My claim was denied again after the
hearing. The reason for denial was my husband's doctor had classified my husband's
cancer of an unknown primary. Plus the pathologist who did the autopsy stated he Presumed that my husband's cancer was of gastric origin.
Thus in the VA's eyes, even though Jerry had cancer of the lungs, which is on the VA's list, they stated I had to prove it began
in the lungs. The VA concluded Jerry's death was not due to his exposure to Agent Orange. I was at a stand still. Later my claim was put on the docket for the Board of Veterans
Appeals. Soon after that I made a great discovery, In going through some of Jerry's active duty medical records. I
discovered that during an annual flight physical seven months prior to his retirement, a doctor states Jerry has fibronodular
changes in both of his lungs. This is the same flight surgeon who gave Jerry his retirement physical later and who also states
that both lungs are abnormal. Did the doctor tell Jerry this, I don't know, did Jerry ever tell me about
it, no, was there ever a follow-up, no but the doctor did classify Jerry as healthy to retire from the AF. Very strange in
my opinion. In my opinion, he should have been medically retired but that was not
the case I was sure I had my evidence that the cancer began in the lungs. I did a lot of medical research on my own and found
the active duty lung condition my husband had, results in lung cancer. The whole time the VA and the DAV had the information
about the active duty lung condition and never revealed it to me, they remained silent on the issue from the very beginning
of the claim. I requested that my claim be withdrawn from the Board of Veterans Appeals
and requested another hearing to present this new evidence. I knew that the claim would be sitting at the Board of Veterans
Appeals for at least five years or more and I was tired of waiting. The evidence would no longer be under Agent Orange, but
under a service-connected lung condition that resulted in his death. It took another year and a half to get a hearing date.
and at the same time the DAV, once again, was not returning my calls of inquiry. When I went to talk to the DAV about my discovery and asked
why they had not told me about this information, they became very angry and hostile. They suggested that if I was so unhappy
with their representation, I could change power of attorney to another service organization if I wished. I still retained
them in spite of what they said. I was frustrated and upset with the DAV, they were supposed to be helping me. At my hearing, the first words out of the DAV service rep's
mouth to the hearing officer was": Please consider this claim under Agent Orange". I became enraged. I stated this
claim had been denied several times under Agent Orange and that this hearing was to present evidence for a service connected
lung condition which resulted in my husband's death. It was not to be under Agent Orange. At the end of the hearing, the hearing officer stated she would consider
it under Agent Orange, I became enraged again and stated that a service connected lung condition was the issue at hand, not
Agent Orange. In my opinion, It didn't matter which one caused it, he still died as a result of it or maybe both. One year and three days later, {yes they took that long]
the claim was denied again because the VA had sent all the medical records to one of their own VA doctors, who relied only
on the autopsy report. That had stated cancer Presumably of gastric origin. I felt that the new evidence I had presented
had not even been considered at all. I had been advised by the National Veterans Legal Service
Project that if my claim was denied this time, they would take it over. In September of 1998, I gave them my power of attorney
and they requested a copy of my file from the VA. They are still waiting for that copy and here it is into March of 1999. Update Year
2000; They now have received the file and have told me that I
need a letter from a doctor stating my husband 's cancer was caused from Agent Orange or that he had a condition
while on active duty that resulted in his death., They know that is impossible because there is no doctor that will go against
another doctor's opinion, so my claim is in limbo and will probably be denied again. In Vietnam, Jerry's nickname was Lucky Pierre. Jerry
served in both the Korean and Vietnam war, he thought he had survived both wars. But he did not survive Vietnam, he was not
so lucky after all. This is the treatment he receives for serving his country proudly for 23 years. This is the treatment
his widow receives as well. I am still fighting, will not give up and I have been at
this for ten years, and not any further than when I was when I first stated this claim. In 1982, seven years after his retirement,
my husband was asked to take part in the Air Force Ranch Hand Study, which he did. Three months after he took part, he received
a letter from them stating he had been erroneously chosen, both of us laughed and we totally forgot it. But at the time my
husband stated to me "Honey, maybe they found something wrong with me and do not want me in the study". How right he was. Some time after his death, I sent for
his medical records from the study, they even tried to exclude all of the lab tests and results until I insisted I have them.
I found in the records that he had given permission to photograph his body if they so desired. It also stated they could alter anything on the photograph
that they saw fit. What kind of study is that???? How could that be a truthful study if they saw something they didn't
like, they could alter or erase it. Did he know what he was signing, I don't know, they probably shoved it under his
nose and said sign here. The study showed he had damage to his lungs, he tired easily
and some other health problems, he was classified by them as a healthy white male. I later wrote to them and asked why he
was dropped from the study but only received a vague answer. I also found out that he was not erroneously chosen as they had
stated, he met their criteria perfectly. The qualifications to be in the study, as I was to discover
later, was that the veteran had to be a Ranch Hand or a crew member on C-130 aircraft, my husband was the latter. I often
wondered why C-130 crew members were considered to be in the study. Now I know. They did not spray Agent Orange but they transported it and handled
it, just as exposed as the Ranch Hand people, if not more so. To this day. I believe they did not want him in their study
because of his health problems and that they only wanted healthy men and did not want him as a stat on their records.
I still believe this even now. He died eight years later, I believe they could have saved his life if they had allowed him
to remain in the study. To gain more information and insight about my husband's
Agent Orange exposure, I wrote to one of his former crew member, a load master, and he stated to me that the Ranch Hand Study
people had come to his home to interview him, he never heard from them again because he believed he had too many health problems
and presumed they did not want him in their study., he has since passed away from a lung condition. My husband had stated to me in better and happier times,
that if he ever developed cancer, he would take his own life. One weekend, when he was home on pass from the hospital, he
asked me where was his over/under shotgun. I replied, in a safe place. I had taken it to a neighbor for safe keeping. "End
of conversation." He also stated only once in the latter part of his illness," DO
YOU THINK AGENT ORANGE DID THIS TO ME", I promised him I would check into it. Did it cause his death, YOU BET IT DID.
A footnote: All of the graves at Arlington around my husband's grave have beautiful green grass, the grass on my husband's
grave grows in patches and is most times brown and ugly. I have noticed in the past ten years his grave has been re-sodded
five different times. Could it be that the dioxin in his body is eating through the casket and casket liner and eating
the grass right off his grave? He must be saying "You may have killed me in Vietnam and
you are trying to kill my widow with stress but the grass on my grave says I am still here and telling the world what was
done to me.
Vietnam Agent Orange Memorial Quilt, Agent Orange Victims and Widows Support Network
is promoting the crafting of quilts to draw widespread national attention to the plight of the Vietnam Veterans affected by
Agent Orange sprayed on them in Vietnam. These quilts will be a memorial, tribute and honor to these veterans, both living
and dead. The quilts are called "THE QUILTS OF TEARS" for many tears have been
shed for these victims Other information on block could be veteran's nickname in Vietnam, picture of veteran,
unit patches, branch of service emblem, ribbons or medals awarded to veteran, etc.., etc.. Blocks can contain any of the following:
patchwork, embroidery, appliqué, cross stitch etc.. etc.. Wording and lettering can be done in fabric pen or fabric paint in any color desired. If
you do not have a Vietnam Veteran to make a block for, blocks with patriotic themes will be accepted. Blocks can be sent any
time as these quilts are constantly being constructed. This "Quilts of Tears' project has letters of acknowledgment and endorsement from the Agent
Orange Coordinating Council and the Vietnam Veterans of America Inc.. It is our hope that the quilts will be displayed every
year Memorial Day weekends on the banks of the Reflecting Pool in Washington, D.C.

So often when I think of you And all the times we've shared
My heart is filled with thankfulness
To have such a friend who cared
You listened oh so quietly To all my joys and trials,
And knowing that you were there
Changed my tears to smiles.
The suttle love between two friends, Is very hard to define
Especially when the love you gave Helped veterans all the time.
It's somehow like a tapestry With colors soft and bold
Yet deep within your weaving Shines tiny threads of gold.
Yes rare and oh so lovely Were your friendship's orange glow
For they will last a lifetime, Your story will forever be told. Each
time someone holds your tapestry And turns it towards the light The orange glow of the veteran's strifes
Will gleam and shine so bright. Some may think it's just a thread
Like those of green and blue But they can't compare the work
that's done By an Angel such as you. I've been thinking late How
you've touched all of our lives Oh how you're yet so dear to me It gives
out such wonderful vibes. We Feel
you're still right next to us And though you did depart
Your orange threads of friendship and love
Is still within our hearts.
Our hearts are filled with sadness
Now that you have go For we will never forget you Jennie
The message in your tapestry sings a beautiful song.
We have all just lost a Warrior who championed our cause
Your work will be immortalized for many, many years
For you have made the world aware
About your Quilt of Tears.
We feel that you're still next to us
Although you did depart
We thank you for all you've done for us
Deep within our hearts.
Permission given by the author for the use of his poem This plaque was presented posthumously on behalf of The Silver Rose Organization. Jennie's work will
continue. It will travel with the "Quilt Of Tears" displays. Thank you Sheila and Henry for carrying on with
Jennie's mission.
We will miss Jennie. She has left us to join Jerry and her beloved veterans.... but never forgotten .
. Rest In Peace dear lady. We thank you for all your kindness and caring. Your friends at Veterans Wives and Families

Category:Outcome Measures
An outcome measure is the result of a test that is used to objectively determine the baseline function of a patient at the beginning of treatment. Once treatment has commenced, the same instrument can be used to determine progress and treatment efficacy. With the move towards Evidence Based Practice (EBP) in the health sciences, objective measures of outcome are important to provide credible and reliable justification for treatment. The instrument should also be convenient to apply for the therapist and comfortable for the patient.
Contents |
Reliability, validity and responsiveness
The outcome measure should have been shown to test the particular aspect of function that it is reported to test (validity) and the results should be the same (or similar) regardless of who administers the test or when it is administered (reliability). Finally, the test or scale should actually be able to test change over time in whatever is being tested (responsiveness). The Chartered Society of Physiotherapists in the United Kingdom makes it clear that standardised outcome measures should be used routinely in normal practice:
"Taking account of the patient's problems, a published, standardised, valid, reliable and responsive outcome measure is used to evaluate the change in the patient's health status" (Core standards of physiotherapy practice, 2005).
Statistical analysis
Some outcome measures have been statistically tested to determine actual validity and reliability and it must be noted that some are more valid and reliable than others. Analysis should also be performed to determine if the change in score on the test is a result of the intervention (treatment), or not.

Disclaimer: one of the CD's I'm about to urge on you is by a band I'm really tight with (go way back with) and the other is by a friend of a friend. But I'm not going to let conflicts of interest get in the way of your pleasure.
Picks for the day:
Community League, Community Spirit. This transcontinental hip-hop collective (part American, part English) threw this EP together by working in person, over the phone, and over the web. The result is seamless, a mix of conscious rap, dub, soul... just check it out. For CD's, go to www.communityleague.eacrater.com -- for MP3 downloads, go to www.digstation.com/communityleague
Pete Yorn, American Blues, Vol, 1. This song has extra resonance now that we're in the Age of Obama. Man, when I lived in Cali I listened to Yorn's "Crystal Village" practically non-stop. We haven't had enough Yorn lately. This one rocks. Pretty sweet video.
Just a short one today, folks. Check out these tunes... as Damone says in Fast Times at Ridgemont High, you won't regret it.

Dashboard highlights website, Twitter, Facebook popularity
Officials at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have put their social media metrics online to show patterns such as spikes in YouTube views and growth in Twitter followers.
For example, CDC had a sharp increase in YouTube views at the start of the influenza outbreak in April 2009 and counts more than 1 million Twitter followers and 57,000 Facebook friends.
Those are just some of the social media metrics CDC has published online as part of its new eHealth Metrics Dashboard.
CDC publishes social media toolkit online
E-gov services beat offline alternatives on satisfaction study
The dashboard spans several Web pages. It offers charts and graphs with data on topics such as the number of visitors to CDC's website, most popular Web pages, visitor satisfaction, social media use and the top referral Web site. Most of the data runs through July 2010.
Overall, CDC.gov received 339 million page views from January to July 2010, of which nearly 10 million were for the home page, while 69 percent of visitors spent five minutes or less on the site.
Most of the visitors to CDC.gov are referred from the major search engines Google, Yahoo and Bing, CDC officials said.
Views from mobile devices rose sharply in January and February 2010 to 137,000 and 263,000, respectively, but dropped sharply to about 20,000 in March and remained at that lower level through July. No explanation was provided for the trend.
CDC e-cards peaked in 2009 with more than 200,000 viewed but dropped to 46,000 from January to July 2010.
CDC Emergency had the largest number of Twitter followers, with more than 1.2 million fans, and its Facebook page had more than 57,000 fans as of July 2010, according to the dashboard.

Dr. Jeremy White, a renowned Hollywood cosmetic surgeon, is one of the very few in the entire nation to have been double board certified in the fields of plastic surgery and otolaryngology and facial plastic surgery, making him a highly learned, diverse surgeon to undertake any procedure you require. With experience in cosmetic surgery including breast augmentation, breast reduction, and rhinoplasty, clients from across the globe seek his services to ensure the very best surgery is performed correctly the first time. As a Hollywood cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Jeremy White outperforms many in the field.
Facial Rejuvenation
As a world-renowned facial plastic surgeon, Dr. White uses multiple techniques and approaches to ensure the very best results for his patients undergoing facial rejuvenation surgery, a highly popular procedure.
In order to restore facial fullness and a youthful appearance, many women seek out plastic surgery options. Botox and Dysport are excellent options to soften those pesky wrinkles and remove crow's feet from near the eyes. Combined with face lift and neck lift surgery, non-invasive facial rejuvenation with Botox and fillers leads to a younger and smoother face, while maintaining a natural appearance.
The other specialty Dr. White is known for is rhinoplasty, which focuses on the nose itself. For the most part, many who undergo rhinoplasty surgery are simply looking to make their nose either smaller for the sake of appearance or more function to breath deeper and more efficiently. When it comes to shrinking the overall size of the nose, many will begin to experience breathing issues due to the internal passages shrinking, too. To combat this, a few plastic surgery techniques are generally utilized, such as septoplasty, turbinate reduction, and functional rhinoplasty. This surgery helps straighten the nose and open the nasal cavity to allow more air moving inwards.
If you feel that you would be a perfect candidate for a cosmetic surgeon in Hollywood, please call Dr. White and the rest of our staff today to schedule an appointment. We can be reached at 305-697-5901.

Lemon Sorbet
Recipe by ratherbeswimmin'
Lemon lovers unite!!!
Top Review by fluffymoonhair
i found this to be really sweet and pretty slushy. I think that perhaps I should have reduced the sugar and increased the lemon juice and water. (As backwards as that sounds, the higher the sugar to water ratio, the more slushy the mixture will be because sugar is what prevents the water from freezing hard.)
Ingredients Nutrition
- 3 cups water
- 1 cup sugar
- 1⁄2 cup fresh lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons grated fresh lemon rind
- In a saucepan over high heat, stir as you bring the water and sugar just to a boil; stir until the sugar dissolves.
- Remove saucepan from burner and let mixture cool.
- Add sugar syrup, lemon juice and lemon rind to a blender; process until smooth.
- Cover and chill 2 hours.
- Pour mixture into the container of a 1-gallon ice cream maker.
- Freeze by following the manufacturer's directions.
