Meteos Stepping Down
Given the C9 League of Legends team's performance this split and carefully evaluating the situation, Meteos has decided it would be best for the team to step down as our Jungler for Cloud9. We hope all our fans trust that this decision was his own and not made rashly. It was our aim to announce this on our own timeline but given the situation, we want to clear up any questions and concerns. To be clear, Meteos is not leaving Cloud9. He will very much remain an important part of the team...6 comments by leagueofbacon via cloud9.gg

During World War II, 425,000 German soldiers taken prisoner by American forces in Africa and Europe were sent to the United States. Most of the prisoner-of-war camps were located in the East and South. But some were built in the West as well, including a small one in Goleta, California.

The island swims…
For piano and several percussion instruments, written for the Ensemble Konflikt (1997)
I have been planning a series of compositions for my good friend of many years, Gaya Han, and the percussionist Nakamura Isao, for a long time. Sadly, I have only gotten to finish one of these pieces, "The island is swimming…"
I took the title for this piece from a poem by Rose Ausländer, who despite facing a life of persecution and exile as a Jewish poet, left behind an important body of work. I have already incorporated one of her poems into my 1996 piece "Yet…" for mezzo soprano and viola, which I dedicated to Isang Yun.
Whenever I read her poetry, I feel like I am reading traditional Korean lyrical verses.

The Ebola Epidemic: The Keys to Success for International Response
Watch Dr. Paul Farmer, President Sirleaf, Pape Gaye, Dr. Anne Peterson and Javier Alvarez testify before the Sub-commitee on African Affairs about the need for funding to stop the spread of Ebola. Click here.
Ebola in Remote Liberia, Through the Eyes of a Local Health Worker
On November 24th NPR posted this story following a CHW named Lorenzo Dorr as he works in some of the most remote regions of Liberia to try and stop the most recent surge of outbreaks. Up until recently this region of Liberia had been largely unaffected by the disease, but as of the printing of this article there have been 24 deaths in these far-flung villages in the southeastern part of the country. The CHWs dispatched to this area are charged with the daunting task of tracing those who have had potential contact with infected persons, educating local villagers who are often wary of health workers from outside their region and bringing infection prevention control to the region.
It's not Ebola…it's the systems
In this editorial, Victor Barbiero, takes an important look at the current state of health systems that we are relying on to combat disease around the world. He points out that while Ebola may be receiving the media coverage there are many diseases claiming lives in low- and middle-income countries. But, the key to mitigating the burden of these diseases lies in strong, capable health systems. Read more.

Ryan did, in the waiting room at the psychologist this week, manage to fit an oval peg into a rectangular hole, in order to save herself the trouble of having to figure it all over again from the beginning. (She was cleaning up a puzzle Ian had started and left.)
This struck me as utterly appropriate.
Ryan DOES fit into round hole, just in her own way.
She DOES have her OWN set of autistic traits.
1. Profound interest in one subject to exclusion of all else. And, no, it isn't computers or the phone book or train schedules or numbers. And, no, Luke Jackson, it never changes. Never ever ever ever ever ever. Did I mention never ever? This debilitating trait is one of the most common traits of GIRLS with Asperger's Syndrome. But since the obsession is often with socially acceptable topics - especially for girls - such as animals (including HORSES!), this is often seen as quirky but not particularly worrisome. Add to that the fact that girls often obsess over reading and over characters and relationships, that they appear to have empathy due to an obsession with the cast of Harry Potter or Saddle Club, or are fixated on rock bands and movie stars, the obsession is often overlooked.
2. Executive Function Disorder. This is a new one for me, thanks to a book recommended to me by Ryan's current psychologist aptly enough titled "Understanding Executive Function Disorders." This is where Ryan comes across as slow and lazy and unorganised and disinterested and immature and unable to get her act together. This is what we were seeing all those years in Germany where she couldn't work fast enough in class, get her work organised, get herself together. She is unable to start a project, to finish a project once it is started or to see the steps it will take to see a project to completion.
Yes. Home schooling a child with Executive Function Disorder is a supreme joy.
3. Inability to generalise from specifics. This isn't as bad with Ryan in terms of behaviours - she knows how to share and how to deal with novel situations and how to work things out with people unlike a lot of people on the spectrum - but is bad in terms of academics and especially maths. Her lowest IQ score, noticeably impaired in the lower 25%, was in taking concepts she already knows and applying them to novel situations.
So that, as hard as home schooling is, I question whether a traditional schooling system can give her the attention that I will.
4. She is happy alone. Perhaps even happiest alone. And while this may not be a problem, it certainly is unusual.
Ryan is lucky. She really is. Adults, especially creative, intelligent women, adore her. She has a sweet, gentle nature that draws people to her. (Ironic, isn't it?!) She will be fine as an adult. She is planning on turning her love of horses (sounds so much nicer than obsession doesn't it?!) into a career working to retrain troubled horses, she and I are working on her executive function skills (which are remarkably better when they involve horses!)and no, I am not giving up on maths skills! She can write a great story when she wants to. And when it involves horses.
And she is happy alone.
As long as she is happy I don't care whether she's a square peg in a round hole or an oval peg in a rectangular hole.
Because you know what?
Ryan isn't playing that game anyway.
She isn't a peg at all. And she's out of the box!

« I Get New Ink!!! | Main | One More Night With the Frogs »
Ohhhhhh Mannnnnnnnnnnn! I was out in the yard early this morning with the dog, and noticed that the daffodils are just about one inch out of the ground. I'm SO ready for their flowers to be opening, and we have the better part of a month to go before we get there.
On the other hand, tulips, crocus, hyacinth, day lilies, chrysanthemums, snowbells, vinca, iris, oregano, thyme and feverfew are all greening up. I'm praying that we don't have 24 inches of snow in March!

Staying on top of children's health can seem daunting at times. Parents want to be sure they are ensuring a healthy future. At what age should a child have their first dental visit? How early should they be evaluated by an orthodontist? Is visual screening at the pediatrician's office sufficient to diagnose vision issues? Toledo Area Parent consulted top local medical experts to find out these answers and more! Read on as they share their golden rules for staying healthy and happy.

As our body's largest organ, the skin performs many important roles in keeping us healthy. It protects us from the sun, enables our sense of touch, and keeps our temperature regulated. Acting as a barrier, it prevents pathogens from entering our body, and eliminates toxins via sweat. Dr. Welch tells us how to protect our skin and keep it healthy.
"Ideally, parents would instill healthy skin habits in their children in the same manner they instill dental hygiene habits. Taking care of your skin from an early age helps prevent future problems, ranging in severity from wrinkles and discoloration to skin cancer.
Children and adolescents can easily be taught the skin health principles of cleansing and protecting. Of course keeping hands clean is especially important to reduce the spreading of germs, and I recommend using a mild, gentle cleanser on the face. Follow this with the one product everyone needs: sunscreen. Contrary to popular belief, sunscreen needs to be worn all year round. Get them in the habit of applying sunscreen in the morning and reapplying throughout the day. I like to use a mineral powder sunscreen brush to touch up throughout the day. I can quickly and easily brush it over my children's faces, and then apply some to myself. Bonus for moms: it doesn't mess up your makeup!
For further skin protection, I recommend using a lip balm with SPF and a hand cream with sun protection factor. Those harmful rays hit us while we're in the car or shuffling our kids from school to practice. I'm also a firm believer in regular exercise, good nutrition and plenty of water for good skin, and good health in general."

Toledo, OH 43613
It's no secret that candy is bad for kids' teeth, but the American Dental Association cautions that almost all foods contain some type of decay-causing sugar. Dr. Knierim shares her tips for cultivating excellent dental health at an early age- a healthy diet paired with a daily cleaning routine.
"A healthy diet is so important to keeping your teeth healthy. Choose snacks like fresh fruit, vegetables, nuts and cheese. Limit candy and sugary treats to special occasions and rinse or drink water afterwards. You should avoid sticky foods such as fruit roll ups and other gummies. Choose the real thing even if canned or frozen, but be sure it's "no sugar added." Limit juice to 4-6 ounces per day, if you choose to serve it at all, and keep it with meals, using only 100 percent juice. Choose water to drink in between meals. Avoid pop, sports drinks and energy drinks, even those that are diet contain acid which is harmful to your teeth. Parents should begin dental hygiene as soon as the first tooth erupts and brush for their children at least until age 8, floss daily as soon as the teeth next to each other begin to touch. Brush with toothpaste that contains fluoride. Use a pea size amount of toothpaste for kids that can expectorate (usually starting around 3) and for kids who are younger use a smear that's the size of a grain of rice."
Dr. Andre Haerian
Drs. Simon, Haerian & Ludwig
6407 Monroe St.
Sylvania, OH 43560
419.882.1017 | www.perfectbraces.com
Early intervention when the teeth and jaw are still developing is becoming commonplace in orthodontic care. Addressing issues when your child's first adult teeth come in can make problems much easier to correct and even avoid. Dr. Haerian keys us in on some early risk factors to look for.
"Most people think orthodontics is a subject that doesn't need to be addressed until around age 12, when all primary teeth have fallen out. In reality, a short visit to an orthodontist at an early age can have a long term impact on ideal jaw and teeth development. Behaviors such as thumb/finger sucking or tongue thrusting can affect the position of the teeth or the palate.
Studies have also shown that dropping the jaw down and forward while sleeping to aid in breathing can negatively influence the growth of the lower jaw and might indicate a compromised airway. Tackling these issues while the jaw is still undergoing development can lessen or possibly even negate the need for full orthodontic treatment in the future. The American Association of Orthodontics recommends age 7 as a good time for a checkup because a small change in behavior early on can result in a big improvement in the long run."
Dr. Donna Baldwin-Mickey
Toledo Vision Therapy
2600 N. Reynolds Rd.
Toledo, OH 43615
419.578.4322 | www.toledovisiontherapy.com
The American Optometric Association recommends that children have their first comprehensive eye and vision assessment before age 3, and warns that the vision test at the pediatrician's office fails to identify up to 60 percent of children with vision problems. Dr. Baldwin-Mickey stresses the importance of developmental and perceptual testing by an optometrist.
"The most important thing for parents to know is that a vision test at the pediatrician's office is not a comprehensive eye exam! This is a visual acuity screening, designed to identify myopic (near-sighted) kids or kids with a significant difference between the two eyes. It does not identify children who are hyperopic (far-sighted). That test gives parents a false sense of security that their children's vision is okay. It does not check ocular health or any of the binocular skills necessary for reading and learning. Also in this techno age, young children are using handheld devices like cell phones and tablets more frequently. It is important for everyone to remember the 20-20-20 rule. Every 20 minutes on a computer, tablet or cell phone, look at an object 20 feet away (or out a window) for 20 seconds. This will help prevent eyestrain, fatigue and possibly near-sightedness due to constant accommodation. If a child is struggling in school, it may be a vision problem even if they test 20/20. It is possible that deficits in binocular skills like tracking and convergence may be causing problems. Visual perceptual deficits like poor visual memory or visual figure-ground can be the problem. Toledo Vision Therapy offers developmental eye exams as well as visual perceptual testing."
Dr. Jeffrey A. Bunkers

880 Commerce Dr. Perrysburg, OH 43551
3448 Navarre Ave., Suite 200 Oregon, OH 43616
1221 Ridgewood Dr. Bowling Green, 43402
According to the American Association of Orthodontics, almost half of today's orthodontic care is provided to adults. The reason is not purely cosmetic; improperly aligned teeth can lead to gum disease and gastrointestinal issues. Dr. Bunkers tells parents why it's not too late for orthodontic treatment.
"Think braces are just for kids? Think again. Adults get braces too. More than one million U.S. adults are having orthodontic treatment. Most are able to achieve excellent results; I've treated adults ages 70 and older who wanted to improve their smiles. It's never too late and it's not all about looks. If your children have perfectly straight teeth, you may think they'll skate through childhood without braces. But sometimes orthodontics is necessary even for people with seemingly perfect smiles. Orthodontics is not just about aesthetics. If teeth don't fit together correctly, that can affect the long-term health of your bone and gums. Follow through when your orthodontist gives you instructions on how to care for your teeth; it's important to follow them exactly. We know right away if you're not brushing like you should, and we can certainly tell if you are drinking sugary drinks."

Mental health and physical health are both equally essential and intertwined. When we treat an individual, the outcome is better when we address the needs of both the mind and body. People cannot be separated into their various parts and pieces. They are a complete package of wonderfully unique faults and strengths. People should always be cared for with that in mind.
Dr. David W. Jackson
Obstetrics & Gynecology
Associates in Women's Health
5300 Harroun Rd. Ste. 201 Sylvania, OH 43560
For parents, it often seems there aren't enough hours in the day to take care of your children's needs, let alone your own. However, it's crucial to find time to take care of your own health and well-being. Dr. Jackson shares his golden rules for staying healthy, whether you are a parent, or are planning to become one down the road.
"Stick to a healthy diet- balance is the most important thing. If you choose not to eat meat, be sure you get enough protein in other forms. If possible, limit processed foods and use more natural ingredients. Every new diet that comes along is not necessarily the best thing. Exercise is good for the body and mind. Almost any activity is better than no activity. Be sure to get enough sleep. It's hard when there are young children in the house, but both you and they will be better for it. Make safe choices during reproductive years. Some bad decisions have long-term consequences. Preventative measures are very important at ANY age; get health screenings as recommended by your doctor including pap smears, mammograms, colonoscopy and other screenings. Don't wait until a problem develops; talk to your doctor sooner rather than later, and find a doctor with whom you can communicate. Don't neglect your spiritual well being! Reduce stress, reflect, and take time (even five minutes a day) for yourself."
Dr. Eric J. Hires
Hires Dental Care
3951 W. Sylvania Ave. Toledo, OH 43623
419.475.6673 | www.familydentistrytoledo.com
Tooth decay is the leading chronic childhood illness. Left untreated it can lead to numerous health consequences for your child. Dr. Hires stresses that providing a healthy diet low in sugar and establishing a solid dental routine are critical in prevention.
"Children's proper oral health always begins with having parents establish a solid routine. Brush for two minutes, twice a day, but make it fun. Play your child's favorite song while they brush. Once their teeth start to fit together, help them floss. Using a floss holder will make it easier.
It's also important to schedule a dental visit by your child's first birthday. At Hires Dental Care, we perform free 'Happy Visits' to introduce children to the staff and office. We want them to feel comfortable while getting used to visiting us every six months. When bottle-feeding, it's imperative that you don't send children to bed drinking anything other than water. In older children, limit sugary drinks, including juice, as well as sour and sticky candy. Even at the earliest stages of life, tooth decay can have serious implications for a child's long-term health."
Dr. Jon Frankel
Dr. Jon Frankel DDS General & Cosmetic Dentistry
5012 Talmadge Rd. Toledo, OH 43623
419.474.9611 | www.jonfrankeldentistry.com
Our children's overall health is directly related to the health of their teeth and gums. Studies show that poor oral health is a risk factor for heart disease. Encouraging a positive relationship with your child's dentist from a young age is imperative to success. We know that brushing is important, but it's not always easy to get our kids excited about it. Dr. Frankel gives his advice for making it fun.
"One of the greatest gifts a parent can give their child is dental health. Children who look forward to dental visits are likely to enjoy a lifetime of dental health. A healthy mouth promotes a healthy body. Regularly scheduled dental visits at least twice a year keep your child motivated to brush and floss. A great dental visit can be a life changer for kids. Learning the basics of dental home care and taking care of small issues before they become big problems is a surefire combo for years of dental health. Familiarize your child about the dentist with DVDs and books. Don't let your past become your child's future. Keep comments about dental visits positive. If a family member or friend shares a story about an unpleasant experience, let your child know that is unusual, and that you look forward to the dentist. Tell them how nice your dentist and hygienist are and how great cleaned teeth feel. Make dental home care fun. Give your child an electric toothbrush they like. Play their favorite song for a full two minutes while they brush. At least once a day make sure you brush their teeth. You and your dentist together can give your child the gift of a life-time: a healthy, beautiful smile."

The Historical past Of Touring For Pleasure
Most people assume that operating is an important part of an train plan that's designed to help someone drop some weight. So I left my bicycle at my sisters in order that I can cycle every time once I´m there in going to the beach near their place. It's a very small museum; our family visited the Friday after Thanksgiving and we spent no more than 20-half-hour in the museum; most of that time was spent within the museum store (which has some really neat toys). For me, leisure time is when I am free to do what I like whatever it is I love to do. Like studying, writing, dancing, singing with mates or gardening when and if I have a backyard. When I began doing triathlons a couple of years in the past, it was the primary time I had ever lap swam.
Actions to swimsuit all budgets, calls for of space, and individual and social needs exist from which one can choose according ones inclination and interest. Whereas industrialisation demanded regular working patterns, there was a specific amount of stress to have Sunday kept as a day of rest, which meant that this is when sport and leisure activities had been predominantly performed. There is a real danger that our capacity to get pleasure from all our material utilities will decline in keeping with our efforts to increase the yield of available time by a more hectic tempo. If all of us frolicked with our youngsters the way in which you've got with yours, we'd be on our method to heaven on earth 🙂 Good on you! Turning into a participant may be incredibly precious in the event you travel extra than simply once a season.
This passage calls to mind Jeanette Winterson's stunning meditation on artwork as a operate of energetic give up" — a parallel quite poignant in mild of the fact that leisure is the seedbed of the creative impulse, absolutely vital for making artwork and doubly so for having fun with it.
It is rather vital that children experience all aspects of journey and personally realize how much enjoyable and pleasure it brings. However actual returns within the markets over shorter time frames are normally far from the long-time period averages. A method of selling financial free time to the next status is to devote it to enhancing one's probabilities of a better life within the subsequent world. I participated in a Civil Battle parks clean-up day a couple of years in the past close to Fredericksburg, and had a good time being in a place with so much historical past!
A one-day pass, legitimate for sooner or later of unlimited Metrorail travel on weekdays after 9:30 a.m. or all day on Saturdays, Sundays, and a few federal holidays, goes for $7.80. Metro also affords a 7-day quick journey go and a 7-day quick go. After lunch, discover the Singapore Botanic Gardens , a UNESCO World Heritage Web site.

Concord, NH – Manufacturers in New Hampshire are finding it increasingly difficult to attract workers. New Hampshire Manufacturing Extension Partnership NH MEP is meeting that challenge with the launch of the NH MEP Work Source web portal.
New Hampshire Manufacturers can now attract workers by posting their jobs or internships on NH MEP Work Source by going to www.nhmepworksource.com. Once on the NH MEP Work Source homepage they click on the "Manufacturers" menu item at the top, or where it says, "Manufacturers! Are you looking to fill a job or provide an internship?" That takes them to a page to fill out a form and submit it for posting. Middle School, High School and Community College students in New Hampshire can then go to NH MEP Work Source and search for jobs and internships from New Hampshire manufacturers.
NH MEP Work Source also allows a school to schedule student visits with New Hampshire manufacturers. Once on the NH MEP Work Source homepage a school administrator would click on the "Schools" menu item at the top, or where is says, "Schools! Are you looking to have your students visit a manufacturer?" That takes them to a page to fill out a form to schedule their visit.
"By launching NH MEP Work Source, NH MEP continues its commitment to building the future manufacturing workforce in New Hampshire," said Zenagui Brahim, President of NH MEP.
About NH MEP: The NH MEP is an affiliate of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) under the U.S. Department of Commerce. The national MEP system is a network of manufacturing extension centers that provide business and technical assistance to smaller manufacturers in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. Through MEP, manufacturers have access to more than 2,000 manufacturing and business "coaches" whose job is to help firms make changes that lead to greater productivity, increased profits and enhanced global competitiveness.

And Mad made me take her picture with it. Both her and Jaden think bulls are so funny. We ate at Sante Fe yesterday for lunch and as soon as we got close to it, she started giggling and saying look at that bull mom! It always goes downhill from there. There is another restaurant in town called Mi Toros (one of my favs, and THE BEST mexican place to eat). In the parking lot is another bull but sometimes if you park in the right spot, you will end up facing the rear of the bull if you get my drift. Jaden always has to point out how we are parked in the bull's butt. So what does Maddie yell out when we get close to Santa Fe's bull yesterday? Yep, Look at that bull's butt! I was so embarrassed but thankfully no one was around to hear it. Of course I'm telling you all now though huh?
I also wanted to show you my lilies! They are starting to bloom- Lilies are one of my favorite plants and I love the bright yellow color of them. O and I don't have to do anything special to keep them alive. This is very important, since as I've said in the past, I tend to kill anything green.
Here's an update to the watermelon plants that the kids and Paul planted. First thing in the morning, they head out to the back porch to look at them. They are steadily growing and soon will be put into the ground. Hopefully they will still grow once they are put into the clay we call dirt around here.
I'm hoping to post a coupon tomorrow for Market Street on Saturday so check back.
Have a great week!

Meeting Notes June 25, 2007
Greetings Fellow Toastmasters,
The meeting of June 25, 2007 was called to order at 8:10 PM by Club
President Arlene Stock, who also served as Toastmaaster. Sue Brown was Table
Topics Master, and Doris Chernik was General Evaluator. As Word Master, Ana
Alba challenged us to use the word - resonate- in our presentations, while
Malcolm acted as Timer, and I (Woody) was Ah Counter. Actually, the fun
started around 7:45 because Arlene set up her Laptop prior to the start of
the regular meeting to share with us some digital photographs and other
images she captured at the Semi-Annual Dinner Party held at Stamatis
Broadway Restaurant in Astoria on June 11. By all accounts, the dinner party
was an enormously enjoyable experience. The ambience was cordial and
inviting, the food was great, the wait staff provided excellent service, and
the nearly 25 former and present members of the Roosevelt Island
Toastmasters Club who assembled there for the occasion, was a spirited group
who shared experiences, told jokes, spoke passionately during Table Topics,
or otherwise participated in making the event a success. Janet Schoene was
Toastmaster for that event.
There were two speakers on the Agenda for the June 25 meeting, Anna Falth,
who presented Speech #4 (How To Say It) titled - Swedish Traditions. She was
evaluated by Malcolm Cohen. Branko Rogic presented Speech #7, UN
Peacemakers' New Challenge, a project that required researching his topic,
and make an effective presentation that builds on skills developed during
earlier projects. I (Woody) was his evaluator, and I thought his
presentation was first rate, as did the other club members and one guest
(John) present. This was the last meeting of the semester before summer
break, so the business session was mostly transitional and acknowledging the
contributions of several officers and club members during the past year. Al
Short is our incoming President, so on behalf of all club members, I would
like to thank Arlene Stock for her dedication
and sterling leadership. We will miss her warm personality and her excellent
skills that made our officers meetings and club performance so fruitful. One
final note, District 46 has recognized our club as a Distinguished Select
Club, which is one level above a Distinguished Club, and one level below the
highest possible recognition for a Toastmasters club. Congratulations to all
our members because it by achieving specificToastmasters goals that this
recognition was made possible.
Submitted Respectfully,
Woody Deas, Secretary

CANTON, MASS. (WHDH) - Canton High freshman Shawn Burns is all about giving back. He was the top fundraiser among his classmates, as his high school supported the American Cancer Society's Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk in Boston last spring.
Burns was a driving force in the more than $10,000 raised at Canton High School.
"We had a lot of kids raising a lot of money it was fantastic, but this freshman Shawn Burns he earned the most, he actually raised over $1,200," said Ed Amico, a guidance counselor at Canton High.
Shawn Burns said, "it makes me feel good that I'm helping someone."
This is not the first time Burns has done something to fight cancer. His grandmother was diagnosed with breast cancer before he was born.
"I was pregnant with Sean, she was not expected to make it through a month," Burns' mother Christine Daly said. "She was stage four. Everybody would say, she lived for Sean."
Sean's grandmother Stephanie Burns hung on and battled the disease for seven more years, and Burns was right by her side.
"He was a big part of her life," Daly said.
Burns said his grandmother passed away from breast cancer when he was around seven years old. "I've been raising awareness for breast cancer as much as I can," Burns said.
As a top fund raiser, Burns earned a Dunkin Donuts gift card that he donated right away to another Canton High student who was in the hospital recovering from a spinal stroke.
"I thought it was the right thing to do," Burns said. "My grandfather over the summer had a stroke…and I know how rough it is for the family."
The freshman's generous act was contagious.
"When other kids had heard what he had done, they also donated their gift cards," Counselor Amico said. "That whole ripple effect, it was just fabulous."
Friend Tommy Cunningham said of Burns, "I think that's really cool that he did that."
"If someone else needs help, he'll help them," said Joshua Mei, another friend of Burns.

Patient Testimonials
G. Karthikeyan & P. SumalathaANBE SIVAM ………. LOVE IS GOD ………. I would say the above word is not a simple one and it has many meanings.
Because God cannot come everywhere to take care of us and he sends his representatives in the form Good hearted Human beings and I have seen such forms of Gods in your Hospital. It is not praising statement; this is from my bottom of Heart and felt it in your Hospital.
My 3 year old son was diagnosed with Meddulablastoma Cancer and we came for a Radiation treatment to MIOT Hospital once after Brain Surgery and one year Chemotherapy in different Hospital. Just before few days to the treatment I had lost all of my belongings in my house due to a major theft and the cash kept for the treatment. I was totally dark and came to MIOT and I would say God has shown the path towards you.
First of all our sincere thanks to your kind heart which has sanctioned the Cash discount considering our bad situation and at the same time God never forgive me if I fail to say about your Radiation Oncology, Oncology and Anesthesia team.
What a wonderful team you have sir, I have really seen the meaning of words Dedication, Love & Care through them.
Really I have seen many forms of Gods in your place like Dr. Lakshminarayanan, Dr. Gopika, Dr.Ramprabhu, Dr. Vijayagopal & Dr. Vedapriya and the Ward Secretary, and the teams behind the screens like Planning & Radiation teams and the Staff Nurses.
You know each one has really showered the love on my Son rather calling as a treatment and this itself giving us the confidence that my son will come out his problem totally.
I really admired on Dr. Lakshminarayanan on his way and style of handling the entire team towards Goal oriented Focus with Love & Care.
The Homely ambiance of the ward and the Lovable Caring team around us made my son to feel like his Home and felt so secured & comfort and co operated very well for the treatment.
This is not only my view and even heard from many of the co patients too.
Thanks a lot for all

Sourav KabiI am writing on behalf of my family to express our sincere appreciation and gratitude for the outstanding care and compassion of your staff provided my mother (Mrs. Kabita Kabi) during her Total Hip replacement.
I received professional warm attention from the entire team assigned to my mom. >>From the warm welcome at the railway station to the final send off at airport, I was impressed. During our stay we did not encounter one negative person and everyone we came in contact with was professional, courteous and concerned with my well being from the staff in the housekeeping, food service, nursing staffs and doctors. I have had a few hospital stays and my experience at your hospital was by far the best care I have ever received. Since everyone we came in contact with was exceptional and especially the nursing staff, we hesitate to mention any names for fear of leaving someone out, but three of your nurses, Ms. Hariveni, Ms. Chandralekha and Ms. Lathi went way beyond the call of duty for us and deserves a very special thanks for their efforts.
Also wish fast recover for the other patients of MIOT Hospital.

There's a bit of LOUIE LOUIE in the song "Speeding Motorcycle" by Daniel Johnston. Or maybe "El Loco Cha Cha." Or maybe "Wild Thing." Or maybe all of the above.
Craig Bonnell has a blog that mentions the "Speeding Motorcycle" or "Speedy Motorcycle" performed by Daniel Johnston with Yo La Tengo as a telephone collaboration at WFMU radio. Over at the French Blog Up site, there's a direct link to that version, and an acoustic version performed in France. The second version has more of a LOUIE LOUIE groove to it. As I can't read French, I tried out the Google French-English translation robots , which provides an approximation for French illiterates such as myself.
Neither blog acknowledged the LOUIE connection, but I could spot this thing a mile away.
A tip of the hat goes out to Laksshimi Rosencranz for the heads up!

Attendees at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering got quite a treat a few weeks ago, when the Lamborghini Huracán LP 620-2 SuperTrofeo was unveiled for the first time.
The Quail is a unique, exclusive motorsports event hosted by the Quail Lodge and Golf Club in Carmel, California, which combines displays of fine and classic cars, a motorsports auction and high society networking. The event was, naturally, the perfect venue to reveal the SuperTrofeo, which will be the new car used by all drivers in the international Lamborghini Blancpain SuperTrofeo racing series.
Previously, drivers have used identical Lamborghini cup cars based on the Gallardo LP570-4. The new Huracán SuperTrofeo will, however, considerably raise the bar. Built from scratch and designed to dominate the track, it was developed in conjunction with Dallara Engineering, who have worked on classic Lamborghini models such as the Miura.
The rear-wheel-drive car will feature a direct-injected V10 engine, delivering 620 horsepower in race trim, and a rear-drive set-up 'meant to accelerate the series racers' transition into GT racing'. The SuperTrofeo has a carbon fibre-aluminium hybrid chassis and weighs just 1270kgs.
Performance is enhanced thanks to a ten-position rear wing, adjustable front air intakes as well as front and rear diffusers. The car will debut in all three (Europe, Asia and North America) of the brand's one-make 2015 Lamborghini Blancpain SuperTrofeo series.
Attendees at The Quail were also given a further treat: the unveiling of a new version of the Aventador LP 700-4, made by Lamborghini's 'made-to-order' programme Ad Personam. This unique programme allows its clients to choose from personalised materials, custom colours and exclusive interior and exterior trims.
Signature Car Hire's brand new Lamborghini Huracan arrives to the Signature Experience Centre soon……watch this space and be the first to drive one on a self-drive hire basis.

The conviction of four people, found guilty of involvement in the Madrid train bombings in 2004(photo), has been overturned by Spain's Supreme Court. They were among 21 people, convicted last year over the attacks, which killed 191 people.
An Egyptian, suspected of masterminding the attacks, saw his acquittal upheld by the court, because he had already been convicted of the offence in Italy.
Nonetheless, the court convicted and jailed one of those originally found not guilty.
The Spanish man, who was sentenced to four years in prison, had earlier been cleared of helping to supply the explosives used in the Madrid attacks.
In October, Rabei Osman Sayed Ahmed, the Egyptian man, had been cleared of involvement in the bombings. The court ruled that, because he had already been sentenced to eight years in prison in Italy for belonging to a terrorist organisation, he could not be convicted again for the same crime.
Mr Sayed was appealing against the Italian judgement, meaning that technically he had not been convicted, argued prosecutors.
In that case, Mr Sayed's lawyers are challenging key evidence : a recording in which he apparently boasts of masterminding the bombings. The voice heard is not his, say his lawyers, adding that it has been mistranslated.
Three men have been cleared last October, by a Spanish court, of masterminding the attack, and seven others have been acquitted, while 21 people were convicting for involvement in the attack.
The acquittals angered many victims support groups, who said that the sentences handed down were much lower than those requested by the state attorney.
The BBC's Danny Wood, in Madrid, say that the decision to overturn some of those convictions will not please these groups. A survivor of the attacks, Jesus Ramirez, said that though he did not agree with it, he accepted the court ruling.
"Even though we may oppose it in our hearts, they have more information and have weighed the evidence and made a decision", he told the Associated Press.
'Extremely satisfied'
In the same time, Luca D'Auria, Sayed's Italian lawyer, expressed satisfaction at the verdict.
"Both myself and (Sayed's) Spanish lawyer have always imagined it would end this way – I am extremely satisfied", he said.
During the Madrid bombing, ten rucksack bombs tore through four packed commuter trains on 11 March 2004. It was Europe's most deadly terror attack since the 1988 Lockerbie bombing.
The course of Spanish politics was changed by the attacks, say analysts, as in an election three days later, voters ditched a conservative government who at first blamed the bombs on the Spanish separatist group Eta.
Though they had no direct links to al-Qaeda, the bombers were part of a local Islamist militant group inspired by the terror organisation, said Spanish investigators.
Their action's aim was to avenge the presence of Spanish troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, added investigators.

Dolphin Dorms, the new 274-bed housing development for Jacksonville University students, is designed as a three-wing, four-story project just north of the JU campus in north Arlington.
Landowner Dolphin Dorms LLC, led by developer Wally Devlin, applied Friday to the St. Johns River Water Management District to build a stormwater management facility to serve the dorm.
That application further describes the project as a maximum 70,000-square-foot building on 4.88 acres at 3812 University Blvd. The 274 beds will be configured among 137 units.
Devlin said Monday he had no comment.
Rimrock Devlin Development LLC is based in Lake City. Devlin, of Ponte Vedra Beach, and Micah Linton, of Lake City, are managing members of the company.
JU, at 2800 University Blvd. N., has been expanding its 198-acre waterfront campus. It recently bought 40 acres immediately south of the property.
The undeveloped dorm site, immediately north of JU, is northwest of the intersection of University Boulevard North and Alumni Drive. Devlin's group bought almost 5 acres of an almost 60-acre site referred to as Dolphin Reef. A JU trustee bought the other 55 acres but has no immediate plans for it.
Taylor & White Inc. is the engineering consultant for Dolphin Dorms. Its executive summary has a slightly different count – 277 beds among 144 units.
Site plans show that a monument sign at the property will be labeled "Dolphin Dorms Student Housing." Those plans further specify 132 dorm rooms of double occupancy, 10 resident-adviser single-occupancy rooms, one one-bedroom apartment and one two-bedroom apartment.
Plans further show a pool, picnic area, grill, shade structure, bike racks and 150 parking spaces.
JU confirmed June 25 that it would expand north of its Arlington campus by adding a 274-person riverfront dorm to be completed in fall 2015.
Dolphin Dorms LLC paid $860,000 for the 4.88 acres. JU graduate and trustee Greg Nelson, based in Dayton, Ohio, bought the other 55 acres of the almost 60-acre site for $6.99 million. He has declined to discuss the property because of a confidentiality agreement.
JU has been working with developer Rimrock Devlin LLC to develop student housing on the "Dolphin Reef" property north of the campus.
City Council has rezoned the 59.5 acres, once envisioned as a condo project, to permit a mixed-use residential, office and commercial development.
