A CLOSER LOOK: The Top 15by Chris Wescott / Edmonton Oilers
Countless hours spent on the road or in the film room scouting the draft-eligible prospects has led to many opinions on where players belong on draft boards across the league. Scouting services have released their lists, and many draft prognosticators have begun to release theirs.
The NHL Scouting Combine has come and gone, and the NHL Draft is right around the corner.
Bring on the rumours, the mock drafts and the analysis.
As you sift through the mountain of information available at your fingertips, you may be wondering, just who are some of these players? What can we expect from the first round of this year's draft?
"We've liked the draft right from the very beginning," said Oilers Director of Player Personnel Bob Green. "Obviously, the top end is very good. Everybody's going to get a good player in the first round. There's depth to it. You know that some of the kids later on are going to turn into players, you've just got to figure out which one it is."
At the four spot, the Oilers sit at what has been thought to be the top of the second tier group of players, behind Auston Matthews and Finnish phenoms Patrik Laine and Jesse Puljujarvi.
With players like Matthew Tkachuk and Pierre-Luc Dubois pushing to be considered close to the top tier, things may have changed in that regard. Perhaps, in some teams' minds, four and five aren't as far away from three.
Regardless, the Oilers sit in a good spot. Should Edmonton choose to stay at fourth overall, they could have their pick of high-quality forwards. Or, they could be in position to move down with a team desperate for help up front, and have a look at the top defencemen available. Oilers General Manager Peter Chiarelli has heard from teams interested in the pick.
Whether they keep the fourth pick or move down within that second tier, they have many options to choose from.
"There's some good forwards there (and) there's some good defencemen there," Green said of the second group. "They're just good players. You want to take the best one at that point in the draft, for sure. We like the guys there. There's a mix of positions: centre, left wing, D. There's a nice combination of players and we like all of them."
Chiarelli sees a lot of good quality defencemen and size at forward in the group of prospects they're looking at.
"Those are two needs we're looking at so we're going to look a little more closely," said Chiarelli.
"If we keep the pick or if we move it and get another pick, there's still a lot of those good players that are big or are defenders."
What does the first round of the draft look like? Here's a quick guide to the top 15 prospects, as ranked by International Scouting Services, with analysis gathered from interviews and scouting services. Stay tuned for our edmontonoilers.com mock drafts coming soon.
1. AUSTON MATTHEWS - The American centre has been touted as the top prospect in the draft for some time now. He took his talents overseas to play with Zurich in Switzerland this past season. He had 46 points (24-22-46) in 36 games. Matthews projects as a franchise centre, with comparisons to NHL centres like Jonathan Toews and Anze Kopitar.
2. PATRIK LAINE - For some time, Laine and his Finnish counterpart Puljujarvi were neck and neck for the number two spot. Laine pulled away with it at the end of the season, earning the Jari Kurri Trophy and was named Worlds MVP. A goal-scorer with elite potential in that regard. Laine played for Tappara in Finland.
3. JESSE PULJUJARVI - Puljujarvi played for Karpat in Finland. The playmaking winger is not the same offensive player as Laine, but he's got good size at 6-foot-3, 200 pounds and has a high motor and high compete. Definite top three or four talent in the draft.
4. MATTHEW TKACHUK - Son of former NHL player Keith Tkachuk, Matthew is a winner. The winger has proven that with his play and helping lead the London Knights to a Memorial Cup Championship. Tkachuk posted a 107-point season this year in the OHL, and had 20 goals and 20 assists during the playoffs. Tkachuk can complement elite skaters with his play, and goes to the net.
5. PIERRE-LUC DUBOIS - NHL Central Scouting's top-ranked North American skater had a heck of a season for Cape Breton in the QMJHL. The projected power forward can play wing or centre, and brings size up front (6-3, 201). Dubois had 99 points (42-57-99) in 62 games this season and showed he has a close to complete game.
6. ALEXANDER NYLANDER - With hockey bloodlines, dynamic offensive talent and creativity, this Mississauga winger is expected to go top 10 in the draft. Nylander had 75 points (28-47-75) in 57 games his first OHL season.
7. LOGAN BROWN - The size is tantalizing to teams. Brown, a centre for Windsor, is 6-foot-6 and 218 pounds. Brown is described as having great vision and playmaking ability. Big, strong, two-way centre with potential to go along with size.
8. JAKOB CHYCHRUN - Chychrun is battling with Olli Juolevi and Mikhail Sergachev to be the top blueliner picked. Chychrun is a big defender, who had 49 points (11-38-49) in 62 games for Sarnia this season. Chychrun is described as a big, strong blueliner who can do everything you ask.
9. TYSON JOST - Jost lit up the BCHL this season with 104 points (42-62-104) for Penticton. Jost is a dynamic offensive talent with top-end skill and vision. "Exceptional" hockey IQ.
10. MIKHAIL SERGACHEV - The Windsor defenceman drew a fair amount of attention at the Scouting Combine. The Russian blueliner is a smooth skater with a good release on the puck. Some scouts call him close to NHL ready. There have been comparisons to Los Angeles Kings Drew Doughty.
11. OLLI JUOLEVI - The London Knights defenceman could be a top-pairing guy at the next level some day. He is a two-way defender who can do everything well at the OHL level. His size and skating are one thing, but his hockey IQ and overall intelligence make him a top prospect.
12. CLAYTON KELLER - The centre from the USA U 18 club (USHL) was tournament MVP at the U18 World Championship. His skating, puck skills, compete level and hockey sense are above average to excellent. Top-six guy who can play in a lot of situations.
13. MICHAEL MCLEOD - The Mississauga centre could go pretty high in the upcoming draft. Good size and strength with comparisons to Anaheim's Ryan Kesler. Had 61 points (21-40-61) in 57 games this season.
14. MAX JONES - Tkachuk and Juolevi's teammate in London is a big, skilled power forward with a physical edge to his game. Scored 28 goals this season, who can, on the wing, complement a top six at the next level.
15. GERMAN RUBTSOV - Another forward with size and strength. Described as the "complete package" for a two-way forward. Had 12 goals and 26 points for Russia's junior team in the MHL. Was the "best" player at the World Jr A Challenge.

*** original post from my xpressivehandz.blogspot.com page ***
This week, I found a plethora of emails and comments from various people from various sides of "Deaf Awareness", along with other issues. Each comment had some valid points, however, different perspectives, which leads me to what I'm about to write.
I was once hearing, then had a mild hearing loss, moderate, etc. Now I am deaf. I have been across the hearing spectrum.
Each person has a perspective, a reality different from another. Our experiences are different, our deafness is different, the degrees of our deafness and the issues we deal with. Each of us lives in a culture within a culture of some kind. Some of us are stuck between the two cultures, not fitting into either one, such as the Hard of Hearing or Hearing Impaired. They have the hardest time being wedged between the cultures.
However, truth is truth no matter where it comes from or where you are in the spectrum. One person's perspective of reality may vastly vary from another person's simply because their life and experiences have been different.
I'm not going to post the comments that were left because all of you have your own blogs, and I read them like many others. I appreciate all of your views, and each of you have valid points. However, just because someone has a different view, does not mean they are wrong, or right or evil, not living in reality, nor does their motivation behind what they write matter (such as someone being paid to write something). The bottom line is we all have our place, our experience, our reality, views and motivation. This is why so many of us blog, and I love reading all of the blogs,,,,,, until they become hatefully critical.
I like the idea of a coalition of some sort to raise Deaf Awareness. Actually, years ago, in a small community where I once lived, we had a place called Resources for the Disabled, run by ALL disabled people, mental illness was represented, returning Veterans, the blind and the Deaf of our community, among others, all were equally important and represented. We put out a newsletter that educated and brought awareness to the community where we lived on various issues, each article written someone representing their own disability or Deaf issues. It was run voluntarily and sadly dissolved from lack of donated funds and grants. Perhaps it was a little before its time.
Questioning someone's motivation, having a grudge because the "Deafies stole" from you, being bitter because someone makes a different communication choice, or being angry because another parent is following their heart to try a new device for their child whom they have parental rights to choose what they believe is best for their child,,,, all this bickering leads me to ask, "How is this working for you…or US?"
Perhaps it's time we start respecting the different views and life experiences and realities of others, even if it vastly differs from our own views and let's start finding things that need to be worked on TOGETHER without blaming or pointing fingers or criticizing.
I'm not saying don't write about your personal experiences on your blogs.
I'd just like to see some positive suggestions and ideas without name calling or blaming and flaming. I'd like to see solutions and support for one another.
Let's show "the hearing world" a positive view and something different for a change, such as a group of people striving for some positive changes in our society, people who are trying to break down communication barriers and make it a better place, and to do it with integrity and kindness and a spirit of respect, and respecting the differences.
Even if it is just one person at a time.
I recently read on someone's blog when they were at the store a hearing person started waving their hands in the air like they were signing. That would have been a great teaching moment, if not for that sales clerk, at least for someone else in the line, to take a moment to show an actual sign, such as "pay" or "money" or even simply "thank you" and "you're welcome".
Too often we choose to think the worst of others, or we add to the contentiousness. I understand there will be times where someone is absolutely mean spirited, but there are more times that people just don't know any better. If we stay so closed within our community, we're not getting out there reaching others or educating them. With programs coming out now such as "Switched At Birth", there will be more people curious and wanting to learn. Don't crush their spirit by questioning their motives or being too critical because the signs they attempt aren't quite right. Allow them grace. At least they are trying.
As for people who are paid to write things, someone somewhere is probably reading and learning about something they did not know before because someone took the time to write about it, and though it may not be your truth, it is someone's truth, someone's reality somewhere. At least they are doing something, and trying to get the message out where it may not reach otherwise.
So, in closing, know this. I read your blogs, I read your comments and I respect your views, even if they are different from my own. I am learning as I read, but understand this about me and why I share posts from others and blog myself. I want to be part of the communication solution for those looking for solutions. I want to be a support to others who have lost their hearing, no matter how, as well as a support to those who have been born deaf or are culturally Deaf by choice. It's about people, and building relationships with people.

Enrollment hits 15-year low at PBL
PAXTON — Enrollment in the school district is the lowest it has been in 11 years.
With 1,408 students at the district's four schools as of the sixth day of classes, PBL has 38 fewer students than it has averaged over the past 15 years, according to a spreadsheet provided by Superintendent Cliff McClure.
Sixth-day enrollment has declined each of the past four years, after reaching an all-time high at 1,523 in 2009-10. Enrollment has not been this low since there were 1,405 students in 2002-03.
"It's something we'll have to start to monitor and watch," McClure said, noting that when the district's enrollment declines, so does its state aid.
Also at the meeting, the board voted 7-0 to approve the district's budget for the 2013-14 fiscal year, showing a projected deficit of $821,932.
The deficit is "directly related" to a $150,000 loss expected in revenue received from the state, McClure said.
The financial-planning document shows $16.79 million in revenues projected, compared with $17.62 million in expenditures expected. There are deficits in all but the working cash fund ($77,309).
"We'll continuously monitor it and execute the plan conservatively," McClure said.

James Arthur Ray Trial - April 8, 2011
I've watched the James Arthur Ray trial almost Every day since it began. These days I have a ritual, I point one browser to CNN Live and another to Twitter. There are roughly 50 people who's tweets I follow and respond to, all of them tweeting about #JamesRay.
I've watched the James Arthur Ray trial almost Every day since it began. These days I have a ritual, I point one browser to CNN Live and another to Twitter. There are roughly 50 people who's tweets I follow and respond to, all of them tweeting about #JamesRay.
James Arthur Ray would have the world believe the deaths of Kirby Brown, James Shore and Liz Neuman were all tragic accidents. His lawyers would have us believe organophosphates or some other poison is to blame, anything BUT the insane heat inside the sweat lodge, let alone the ugly and chaotic way victims were ignored and left to suffer (sometimes face down in the mud).
Sometimes the testimony is mind numbingly dull, other times it's sad and heart breaking. I've appreciated the tweets/comments (humor, sarcasm, shock, dismay, sadness) as they have helped me to assimilate the horror of what transpired during the 2009 Spiritual Warrior Event. That said, Friday April 8, 2011 was a hard day to watch. Debbie Mercer testified.
Friday, while Listening to Debbie Mercer's 911 calls, I found myself crying like a baby. Suddenly it was all too real ::: the fear and concern in her voice ::: as she described the physical condition of the sick, the dead and the dying.
The Hamiltons (owners of Angel Valley) allowed James Arthur Ray to return year after year to hold his sweat lodges. For years the Hamiltons knew (or should have known) people were fainting, getting horribly ill, vomiting, and nearly dying from heat exhaustion ::: so they should have known something was horribly wrong ::: but then it's too easy to judge.
Ted and Debbie Mercer were there for most of James Arthur Ray's sweat lodges, and helped build the big lodge. I like the Mercers, they seem like honest caring and sincere people. I don't want to think about how many more people might have died if Ted and Debbie Mercer hadn't helped as many people as they did. How many more people would have died had Debbie Mercer not taken the time to help and to call 911.
It's beyond shameful that these two souls were forced into the position of having to make the right choices ::: let alone forced to ask what to do ::: when those in charge (that's a laugh) couldn't, wouldn't and didn't.
James Arthur Ray sat in the shade and cooled off, he shrugged, DID NOTHING. In years past he flew into a rage when 911 was called. By the time James Arthur Ray's Heat Endurance Event ended, so many people were sick, unconscious and near death, no one checked or noticed there were still people inside the lodge. They were too busy tending to the sick and dying to notice some people were missing.
So three poor souls lay lost and forgotten, (by everyone BUT Debbie Mercer) their lives ebbing away within the sweltering steam and heat. Sacrilege to stop the sweat, sacrilege to peel back the covers and remove the dying, sacrilege to question the authority of self professed [demi] God James Arthur Ray.
Kirby Brown and James Shore, were discovered dead, faces ashen, lips blue, with their hands intertwined, another man was found as well. Sacrilege!
Debbie Mercer screamed for help.
Debbie Mercer asked James Arthur Ray if she could lift up the tarp on the lodge to get them out. No, that would be sacrilege ::: he stated still sitting in the shade.
Debbie removed it anyway, tugging away the heavy layers of tarp. Debbie and Ted Mercer pulled these people out, with the help of their then 17 year-old daughter. (What type of nightmares must this young woman now suffer?)
Sacrilege that James Arthur Ray's defense team hinted at an affair between the Kirby Brown and James Shore. :: Wink :: Wink :: Smirk :: Cheap and profane words, slandering the dead. No thought for the family members present in the court.
God forgive me, but there's way too much guilt to spread around. I'm reminded by the words said during the Nuremberg trials. "I was just following orders" or "I was just doing my job" It seemed as if a good portion of the German population had been hypnotized and seduced by Adolph Hitler.
The Blame Game
It's way too easy to state everything (4 people dead, dozens injured and maimed, thousands bilked out of millions) is James Arthur Ray's fault ::: and that he's a money grubbing narcissistic sociopath who doesn't give a damn about anyone but himself.
The question we should be asking is how was the spiritual Juggernaut that was James Arthur Ray in his prime - created ::: and by whom? And should any these people (how ever well meaning) be held accountable for his actions?
In the Beginning - just a man talking
In the beginning James Arthur Ray's words seemed harmless enough. He was, is, a good looking man with a glib tongue and quick mind. He seems to have come from a picture perfect all American family. Minister Father, loving stay at home Mom. Then again he was/is good at avoiding the truth while telling people what they want to hear ::: good at appealing to people's wishes and desires, what ever they may be.
James Arthur Ray was Good at hiding his dark side
How people saw/see James Arthur Ray, says more about THEM than James Arthur Ray. If you're an honest person you tend to take other people at their word and see them as honest. This simple fact of nature is one of the reasons sociopaths like James Arthur Ray are able to get away with the things they do.
When you mix in the fact that highly respected people such as Oprah Winfrey, Larry King along with almost every major television network was interviewing and promoting James Arthur Ray as "the real thing" ::: the die was cast.
Is Rhonda Byrne (Author of the Secret) responsible? Prior to being part of "The Secret Book and DVD, James Arthur Ray was still a mostly unknown motivational speaker.
Are Oprah Winfrey, Larry King and others in the media responsible? They created and promoted the James Arthur Ray who's words and actions ultimately lead to the deaths of four people and the maiming of countless more.
Are Michael and Amayra Hamilton (Angel Valley owners) responsible for allowing sacrilege to occur, not just once, but many times on their property? How sad that three people had to die before these events finally stopped!
Are JRI employees Josh and Megan Frederickson responsible for enabling James Arthur Ray's power and covering up his misdeeds?
While it's most likely true that someone else would have been found to heat the rocks for James Arthur Ray's Heat Endurance fiasco ::: Ted Mercer was the one who did ::: and will be forced to live with that simple fact for the rest of his life.
Ultimately it's up to the Jury to decide if James Arthur Ray will be held accountable for the deaths of Liz Neuman, Kirby Brown and James Shore.

lauren, one of chase's classmates, lives a couple of houses down from us. she has an older sister, alli. they come over to play in the backyard nearly every day after school. the other day, lauren and aiden found an orange, stray cat wandering around out front. aiden especially loves kitties, and it turned out that lauren was pretty enamoured by them as well. so, these two somehow coaxed it into our front yard and "mothered" it for a while. i would not let aiden do anything besides pet it's back. lauren, on the other hand was picking it up and trying to carry it everywhere with here. this is where i will tell you that i knew that this was not a good idea, but my gentle warnings were not really making any difference. the cat finally got tired of it and ran off. i had not thought about that cat again. until today.
all the kids were playing in out backyard this afternoon when lauren spotted the cat again. she came to me and asked if we could feed it. i told her that i didn't have any cat food and she said that she didn't either and that she only had dog food. i told her that maybe the cat would like her dog food. she ran home to get some and came back empty handed. "my mom said that i couldn't waste our dog food on a cat." i said, "ah...good point. maybe you could just give it some water." she said, "your water is closer than my water." aiden was begging me to come see the cat with her, so we all went to find him/her. colton and chad were at colt's baseball practice, so it was just me with the rest of the kids. chase, being allergic to cats and dogs sensed danger and immediately went inside. so, there we are...me holding annslee, lauren and aiden petting the cat, and alli and her friend watching, and chase standing in the dining room window peering at us over a small notebook with a pen in hand. the little girls really wanted to give the cat something to eat and kept asking what we could feed it. i asked our neighbor if the cat was theirs. he told me that it was not, but that it had come to their backdoor last night and they had given it some cat food. he said that his wife had checked it over and that it was declawed. that made me worry a little, because i knew that it could not protect itself without its claws and i started imagining it being lost and hungry. i turned around and looked at the dining room window and saw chase still standing there, shaking his head no...as if he already knew what i was thinking. alli's friend said that maybe her mom would let her keep it. so, i went and opened a can of tuna. the cat ate, and alli's friend called her mom. she told her she could keep it, but that she had to find a way to get it home. now, i am no cat expert, but i do know well enough to know not to put it in my car with my baby, my 5 yr old, my son...who is allergic, and the girl who's parents don't even know me. so, the girl asked alli if they had a leash. now, at this point, i did question the decision to put a cat on a leash, but this was her cat now and annslee was getting fussy and i needed to start dinner. alli came out with a huge dog leash and i watched as they tried to get it on the cat. i said, "so wait? are you gonna walk this cat home on a leash???" she said that she would try and if not, her mom would come get her. so i helped them get the leash on. this is where the story begins to take a nose dive. i say, "ok. this is your cat. congratulations. you are now in charge of it. i'm going in to start dinner." about 3 minutes later, the doorbell rings. aiden says it's lauren and i tell her to let her in. lauren is crying hysterically saying that the cat got away. i told her it was ok and that i was coming. i grabbed annslee and was followed outside by chase, aiden, lauren, alli, and alli's friend...the owner. that's when i am told that the cat started jumping all around and the new owner had let go of the leash. i said, "let me get this straight. there is a stray cat running around the neighborhood with a dog leash attached to it?" they said, "yes." i looked at the kids and thought, "ok...this is where i need to go get alli and lauren's mom. because, let's face it...clearly you need another adult to help in the decision making in this situation because the whole 'leash-on-a-cat' one was clearly a bad call." i recounted the story to their mom, and said that i thought a 'lost cat' sign would look pretty funny with a drawing of a cat with a leash hanging off of it and while doing so, it hit me. OH MY GOSH. IF THAT CAT TRIES TO JUMP A FENCE WITH THAT LEASH ON, IT COULD HANG ITSELF. we were standing there, trying to figure out what to do...annslee in my arms, aiden standing next to me, clearly worried and chase with his little notebook and pen while lauren, alli and the new owner were running through backyards trying to find it. that's when they ran to the front yard of the house where they last saw it and yelled, "IT'S STUCK ON A FENCE! IT'S STUCK ON A FENCE! IT'S HANGING ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FENCE AND WE CAN'T GET TO IT!" we needed to act fast...i knew that much. we got there and the girls started to run around the block to get to the other side of the fence. i said, "someone needs to climb the fence." at that point, the lady who lived there came out and went back there to help them. i kept the little ones in the front and waited. she finally came out and handed us the leash. i said, "what happened." she said, "that cat was almost dead. i had to pull it up by the leash so i could reach it and i got the leash off it's neck. it took off. i don't know what those girls were trying to do to that cat, but they had a leash around it's neck." i had the quick thought, "this could go one of two ways. i could admit my involvement in the ridiculous leash debacle, or i could just nod in agreement." i mumbled something about being glad the cat was ok and thanked her for her help and decided that she was really only on a need to know basis.
as i told this story to chad tonight after he got home from colt's practice, he laughed and asked, "what was chase writing in the notebook?" i realized i had never looked but imagined it went something like this........

1. she let aiden pet a stray cat.
2. she fed the cat.
3. she put a leash on the cat.
4. to be continued......

Now South Korea is getting into the "conversation" about whether euthanasia is OK or not.
Seven in 10 S. Koreans favor 'passive euthanasia'
Over 70 percent of South Koreans favor euthanasia for terminal patients when life-support is deemed meaningless, a survey showed Thursday.
In the survey conducted by the Ministry of Health and Welfare, 72.3 percent of 1,000 respondents said they are in favor of removing life-support devices when there is little or no hope of recovery for a patient.
Nearly 70 percent of those in favor cited emotional pain to other family members as their main reason for supporting what is known as "passive euthanasia," while 60.2 percent said economic burdens were a major factor. more

Finally get to catch up
My sister called earlier this week - she's having another baby! This is #5 for her - she is a brave woman. I don't think I could have 5. But I am soooooooo excited for her. It's so exciting to know another niece or nephew is on the way.
Worked on a new layout yesterday. It's called "He Says" and its all the wonderful things my husband Chris says about me that I am learning to believe about myself. Its the first step into seeing who I really am.
Been working on a couple of things behind the scenes too! Keep watching my blog - hopefully I will have an announcement to make in the next little while. I have a new endeavor that a girlfriend and I are playing around with and would LOVE for you to know about it. Keep watching.

Tonight we're going up to KC's parents for supper. She's cooking dinner for my birthday. Yum. I'll probably post pictures later. Very sweet. I can't wait. Actually, we're heading there now and I'm typing this on my laptop. LOVE THAT! Unfortunately I won't be able to post this until I get back to internet connection, but oh well.
Started watching a few of the LOST episodes that KC downloaded onto his I-tunes. UGH. I'm definitely "lost" since we haven't seen most of season 2 and these are somewhere in season 3. One thing though…Kate is cool…and you know….Jack and Sawyer….LOL. Anywho. I think that it is going to make us late to supper. Oops.
Can't really think of anything else to say right this minute….nothing that I can post on here anyway. LOL. SO we're almost there and I need to go.
Kay I'm back now. I'm waiting for the pictures to load. It is only 9:13, but you know we lose an hour tonight, so I need to hurry and get in bed. *grin* I'm trying to get myspace to let me in...it's been hateful for me all day today. GRRR. Oh yay, it just let me in! Woohoo. Haha.
Oh, supper was great. Loved it. As soon as the pictures upload, I'll show you. *grin* Only one problem. I ate a teeny tiny bit too much. *sigh*
Here we go....
Also to note: I'm drinking Dr. Pepper. (how did you celebrate your birthday...."I had a few drinks......of Dr. Pepper"....ROFL!) And was it ever worth it. I won't enjoy the headache later, but it sure tasted good tonight. *grin*
Then for dessert.......mmmmm....
Then everybody looks at the camera and its not so funny anymore. LOL. Left of KC is his mom and J and right of KC are my mom and dad. Dad forgot to look. Bad dad. *grin* Just kiddin'.
So anyways. That was birthday dinner number two.....the two moms and I played Skip-Bo while dinner was settling.....we played two games. One mom won each game. Did I win one? Not a chance. *sigh* Where is the fairness in that? LOL. Bummer. Oh well. I'm a good loser. Teeehehe. And that statement is true in more than one way. *grin* S'okay, ya'll. I'm a loser, but I'm SHORE good at it. *G*
Okay. I really have to go now. Later!

The Bryde's whale mother and calf pair that we have been seeing the past 2 days are still here. In the morning they were very close to shore and close to Ponta Delgada, as they were yesterday afternoon. Later in the day they were more to the east, but still not far from our base. It's been really nice to be able to see these two whales who are always very calm around our boats. The calf is always surfacing with its head very hight out of the water so we get to see it really well. As well as these whales we also encountered a well known group of bottlenose dolphins throughout the day (the group we refer to as Bubblemaker's group) and also common dolphins and Atlantic spotted dolphins.
Photos from today:

CATSCIProject ID: 21149
Gefördert unter:
Early Stage Training in Catchment Science
Gesamtkosten:EUR 0
EU-Beitrag:EUR 1 428 220
Koordiniert in:United Kingdom
Aufruf zur Vorschlagseinreichung:FP6-2004-MOBILITY-2See other projects for this call
Finanzierungsprogramm:EST - Marie Curie actions-Early-stage Training
The EU Water Framework Directive (WFD) is the most significant piece of EU water legislation to date. Meeting the requirements of the WFD will require catchment-scale land and water resource management to enhance and protect the ecological status of freshw aters. However, there remain significant gaps in our understanding of the physical and biogeochemical processes affecting water quality and quantity at the catchment-scale, and the links between these processes and ecosystem structure and functioning. The project will provide 288 person-months of high quality research training in catchment science. Expertise will be drawn from a multi-sectorial team, including the University of Sheffield, the Environment Agency of England and Wales, business and consultanc y organisations. The programme will produce independent young researchers with skills that cut across traditional discipline boundaries, who are well placed to develop their own research career or to take up appointments outside of academia. The Fellows wi ll conduct research within four interlinked work packages which are: i) Hyporheic zone processes, ii) Catchment-scale analysis, iii) Novel pollutants in catchment systems, and iv) Elucidating the links between chemical and ecological quality. An integrated training package will develop the Fellows¿ skills in field, laboratory and modelling-based investigation. The University of Sheffield works closely with other research organisations in this area in the UK and in other European countries and there will be opportunities for the Fellows to network and interact with other scientists through research events and short-term secondments in relevant groups. The team of Fellows will be drawn from a range of European and third countries, with an emphasis on recruitin g from Eastern Europe where problems implicit in catchment management are particularly acute and the skills gap is greatest.

The practice of gratitude as a tool for happiness has been in the mainstream for years. Long-term studies support gratitude's effectiveness, suggesting that a positive, appreciative attitude contributes to greater success in work, greater health, peak performance in sports and business, a higher sense of well-being, and a faster rate of recovery from surgery.
While we may acknowledge gratitude's many benefits, it still can be difficult to sustain. So many of us are trained to notice what is broken, undone or lacking in our lives. For gratitude to meet its full healing potential in our lives, it needs to become more than just a Thanksgiving word. We must learn a new way of looking at things, form a new habit. That can take some time.
This is why practicing gratitude makes so much sense. When we practice giving thanks for all we have, instead of complaining about what we lack, we give ourselves the chance to see all of life as an opportunity and a blessing.
Remember that gratitude isn't a blindly optimistic approach in which the bad things in life are whitewashed or ignored. It's more a matter of where we put our focus and attention. Pain and injustice exist in this world, but when we focus on the gifts of life, we gain a feeling of well-being. Gratitude balances us and gives us hope.
There are many things to be grateful for: colorful autumn leaves, legs that work, friends who listen and really hear, chocolate, fresh eggs, warm jackets, tomatoes, the ability to read, roses, our health, butterflies. What's on your list?
Some Ways to Practice Gratitude
- If you are visual person, make a gratitude collage by drawing or pasting pictures.
- Practice gratitude around the dinner table or make it part of your nighttime routine.
- Make a game of finding the hidden blessing in a challenging situation.
- When you feel like complaining, make a gratitude list instead. You may be amazed by how much better you feel.
- Notice how gratitude is impacting your life. Write about it, sing about it, express thanks for it.
As you practice, an inner shift begins to occur, and you may be delighted to discover how content and hopeful you are feeling. That sense of fulfillment is gratitude at work.
Are you struggling to develop a habit? Let's talk, I can help.

Rep. Jane Harman is bracing for an attack by her opponents in the race for governor, who may try to link her with the possible spread of chemical or perhaps nuclear weapons.
When the same charges were made during her three campaigns for her South Bay congressional seat, Harman said that it was her former law firms--not she--that represented the foreign clients accused of such deeds.
But now that she is running statewide, the issue is new to most voters. Her close proximity to controversy is about to get greater scrutiny from a larger audience. And Harman knows her opponents are hoping to make this issue a critical test for her campaign.
"It is fair to investigate exactly what I did," Harman (D-Torrance) said in a recent interview. "I will defend the truth and we will make clear what I did do and did not do. I think voters are smart and they will make a judgment."

Testimonial - E Swift
Well, where do I start ... I didn't for one minute think that when I first stepped into the dojang in the late 90's would I still be training now as a senior 4th degree black belt let alone be fortunate enough to take a once keen leisure pursuit and turn it into a hugely satisfying and fulfilling career!!!

Meet Sits!
The facts are these.
Once upon a time, when I was a new bride setting up my first home I came across this goofy little piece of porcelain among my husband's things.
"What's this?" I wondered.
"Oh. That's Sits," my husband told me matter-of-factly.
"His name is Sits because that's what he does!" as if that explained everything.
The story goes that when my husband was a little boy his family drove from California to Illinois to visit friends. While they were there the friends gave this figurine to the-little-boy-who-would-grow-up-to-be-my-husband. He told me he named it Sits (because that's what he does!) and laid on the floor of their van and talked to it all the way home. (This was obviously before there were seat-belt laws.)
I have very vivid memories of my childhood, but my husband does not. So each little tidbit he shares is like a precious jewel... and Sits ties in with that, so that's why I treasure such a quirky knick-knack. And that's my "show and tell" for this week!

Love the show and tell idea. I hope no one "collects" dogs because it sounds like that one stays or sits :) David is the one with the memory of this couple. The kids love his childhood stories and want me to tell some of mine. As far as I can remember I had a normal childhood just no memeory to go with it. It's real hard to hold grudges with this problem though. Have a great weekend!

What an adorable story. Makes me think of a little ceramic duck I had when I was a child. I named it Sally for my best friend. My cousin had a little glass dog he called Glassie. We spent hours playing together with Sally & Glassie.

Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you: [I Peter 1:10]
Let us posture ourselves in this manner…let us be of the stock that diligently enquire and search into the bowels of salvation. Let us be that generation that seeks to fully enter into all of the Grace prophesied unto us.
Like the prophets of old who set themselves apart to walk the higher ways of Heaven's purposes. Let us be so like-minded. Too many of the Church today have unconsciously pledged allegiance to things apart from the Kingdom and Lordship of Jesus. Too many have their hearts reined by desires completely of a worldly stock. Too many neglect to look into the volumes ushered into reality by the steady tides of Grace…
I reckon one banner of singular importance and import…it is the banner of the Kingdom and Lordship of Jesus Christ. I reckon one Truth…it shines out unceasingly in the face of Jesus Christ. I reckon one Throne…it is that of the Creator and Possessor of heaven and earth….it is that upon which Jesus Christ seats. I reckon one future…it is the end prophesied by the Holy Spirit…it is that which we must seek to hasten. I reckon this Truth…that above all pursuits…a man must place the pursuit of Grace and the Knowledge of Jesus Christ above all else…This stands as the quintessence of life. This is true!
Who will walk in this mind frame? Let us seek as the faithful prophets of old did…let us search diligently into this Grace wherein we stand…illumined by the torch of the Holy Spirit…let us voyage still the uncharted seas of Heavens truths…let us also become the generation that "enquired and searched diligently" into the lights of Truth bestowed on them by the workings of Grace.


text: Home > Medical > HIV/Aids > Testing 02 May 2003 Tests used to monitor HIV disease Look at the following tests used to monitor HIV disease in South Africa: 0 CD4 cell count CD4 positive T-lymphocytes (CD4 cells) are a type of white blood cell. CD4 cells are also known as "helper T cells" because they play an important part in directing the immune system to respond to infections. HIV multiplies in these cells and destroys them. Initially, after infection with HIV, CD4 cells are replaced as rapidly as the virus destroys them. Over time, however, the body cannot continue to replace CD4 cells as needed, and the CD4 cell level in the blood falls. The level of CD4 cells (CD4 cell count) in the blood gives an indication of which stage of HIV disease a person has reached. The normal CD4 cell count in the blood is about 800 to 1000 cells per microlitre (written as 1000/ul or 100/mm3). A rough guide is as follows: 200-500ul: early stages of HIV disease; moderate immune suppression. Below 200/ul: significant immune suppression; high risk of opportunistic infections. 50/ul or less: severe immune suppression; usually all the signs of AIDS will be present. In children, normal CD4 counts are age-dependent. Therefore CD4 counts are often expressed as a percentage of normal, rather than an absolute number. A CD4:CD8 ratio is sometimes reported. In a normal immune system, CD4 cells are in slight excess of CD8 cells so the ratio is slightly higher than 1. As CD4 cells are lost and some compensatory increase in CD8 cells occurs, the ratio falls to lower than 1. In resource-poor settings, an absolute lymphocyte count may have to be used. A lymphocyte count of less than 1250 cells/mm3 gives an indication of significant immune deficiency. The CD4 count is also influenced by other serious infections. If a person has TB, for example, the CD4 cell count may drop while the TB is active, and improve when it is treated. A person's first CD4 count is known as the "baseline" CD4 count. After the baseline, a CD4 cell count is usually done every six months if you are in the earlier stages of HIV disease. If you have more advanced disease, the CD4 cell count may be done more frequently. The CD4 cell count may be used to help decide when to start antiretroviral treatment. If you are having antiretroviral therapy, the CD4 cell count is usually done every three months. On highly active antiretoviral therapy the CD4 cell count can increase, typically by 100 cells/ul over the first 12 months. Viral load The viral load refers to the level or concentration of HIV in the blood. The level of the virus in the blood (viral load) indicates how fast the virus is multiplying and also how well or how poorly the virus is being controlled by the immune system. There are several tests that can be used to measure the viral load. These tests can measure any level from as low as 50 viruses per millilitre of blood (50 virus copies/ml) to as high as 10 million viruses per millilitre. The higher the viral load, the more rapidly the virus is multiplying and the more quickly a person will develop AIDS. As a rough guide: viral load higher than 100 000 copies/ml: rapid disease progression viral load between 10 000 and 100 000 copies/ml: average disease progression viral load lower than 10 000 copies/ml: slow disease progression. The viral load increases if another illness such as 'flu is present, since the other illness will divert the immune system away from control of the HIV infection. It is therefore best to avoid doing a viral load test during another illness. A person's first viral load is known as the "baseline" viral load. A viral load test may be done every six or twelve months if you are in the earlier stages of HIV disease. Along with the CD4 cell count, the viral load may be used to help decide when to start antiretroviral treatment. If you are having antiretroviral therapy, the viral load test is usually done every three months. The viral load is extremely useful for monitoring the success or failure of treatment. Successful treatment would usually cause at least a 10-fold fall in viral load. If treatment is failing because the drugs are not been taken correctly or because the virus has become resistant to the drugs, the viral load will rise. If you are on highly active antiretroviral treatment, the virus level may fall below 50 copies/ml and the result is reported as "lower than detectable". This does not mean, however, that there is no HIV in the blood or that the disease has been cured.

Yeah, twitter isn't for everyone. Just depends on how you build your network. As the only teacher librarian in the building it is my little collaborative/problem solving group. Just build your network so that you have the folks that challenge you! Keep up the good work!
- Mike Hasley said...
One thing I think you missed with the Twitter conversation is that comments by people you follow can be sent to your cell phone or IM service. I have the folks I follow pop up on my Google Talk, so periodically, I'll get a quick pop up of a comment by someone I follow which is usually an edtech person. I like that better than email since it doesn't fill up my box and all. I ignore a lot of "tweets" but at the same time, it's been a great way to get new ideas from people. Plus, you cannot build a network via email, and there are a lot of new sites that use twitter to help you organize your time like www.iwantsandy.com (I don't work for them). Twitter can also help you stop smoking and remind you to water your plants. I think if you use it more, you'll find that you like it a lot. Did you post your twitter name?
BTW . . . love the show!
- Eric Langhorst said...
I find that Twitter is more of a conversation "starter" rather than a place to hold an entire conversation. When checking through the posts if someone has recently posted a new blog entry I may follow the link or they may mention a topic they are currently researching and asking for links or ideas from others. I have found it to be a great way to build your personal learning network.

On June 1, 2017, SVP Calgary partners will get to use their membership vote to select their newest investee. Typically, the Investment Committee makes this decision, but this year we've opened it up to the entire partnership. Why are we doing this you ask? Partner engagement is critical to the success of our organization and this is an excellent way for partners to use their vote. It also is a great opportunity for partners to get excited about the newest organization that we will partner with over the next three to five years. We will hear directly from the finalists about why they want to be SVP's next Investee. And we'll also learn from our Investment Committee about their due diligence process and items to consider regarding both finalists.
The Investment Committee has been working hard for the past six months to set parameters, narrow down the list of potential candidates, review applications, and lastly, select our final two candidates.
Now is your chance to help choose the path for SVP Calgary for the next three to five years. If you're deciding about whether to become an SVP Partner, join now and use your vote!

Mwari: Paramount's big bet
The Paramount group has made big strides as a defence and aerospace manufacturer in recent years, and is about to send it's new Mwari into production for the first time.
When the AHRLAC (ADVANCED HIGH PERFORMANCE RECONNAISSANCE AND LIGHT ATTACK AIRCRAFT) first flew in July 2014, it was a welcome return of the South African defence industry to the World stage, with programs such as Rooivalk and Cheetah fading from memory. It was the fresh start the industry in South Africa needed.
The AHRLAC, originally designed and built by veteran designers of the Rooivalk, was designed to be a true low cost, easily maintainable reconnaissance and light attack platform that could suit the needs of not only African countries, but first world nations such as the USA as well. The aircraft was designed with a stepped, tandem seat configuration with a shoulder mounted wing, providing excellent outside visibility. The glass cockpit is fully IFR capable, making it suitable for all weather operations. The second prototype of the aircraft, which is nearing completion in Pretoria, will feature retractable undercarriage, giving it a maximum cruise speed of 272 knots.
The aircraft is set to go into production at newly constructed facilities at Wonderboom Airport in Pretoria in the first quarter of 2017, and will initially be capable of producing 2 aircraft per month. The facilities that Paramount have built is an indication that the company has strong faith in the project, especially considering that no orders for the type have yet been confirmed publicly. Industry insiders have however indicated that the group could be in advanced talks with an unidentified customer.
Paramount has also reportedly teamed up with Boeing, with whom they will attempt to market the aircraft in larger countries with Boeing presented as the prime contractor, although construction would still take place in South Africa.
Should the AHRLAC program take off, it could aid the recovery of a large skills loss seen in the industry in the post-apartheid era. Many veterans from the days of Atlas Aircraft Corporation have since retired, with a small number of engineers, designers and artisans still active in the industry, some of whom are still at Denel or working with either Paramount or Aerosud.
While Paramount founder Ivor Ichikowitz insists that his company is not in competition with Denel, it could change in the near future. Denel has been focusing mainly on munitions and product maintenance and support, with Paramount focussing largely on newly designed platforms. Denel is however working on a new product that has started out as a research project called SARA (Small African Regional Aircraft), which according to Denel aims to provide a 15-24 passenger regional aircraft designed for Africa. The company produced a large scale mock-up of the aircraft and presented it at the bi-annual Africa Aerospace and Defence exhibition in late September 2016. The mock-up however was extremely basic, and was unlikely to have been taken seriously in its current state.
While the Mwari is entering production as a reconnaissance and light attack aircraft, Paramount could very well see additional opportunities on the horizon for the platform closer to home. With the South African Air Force's fleet of Pilatus PC-7MKII's ageing rapidly, there is a chance that the AHRLAC could perhaps serve in the basic training role in future. Whether or not the company will pursue such a contract however remains uncertain.
