McHale started at left tackle and helped the Owls offense total 393 yards (104 rushing, 289 passing).
His first career start came
Oct. 21 at Army West Point, a game the Owls lost in overtime, 31-28. He also has appeared in four other games: Massachusetts on Sept. 15; Houston on Sept. 30; at East Carolina on Oct. 7; and Connecticut on Oct. 14.
Temple, 4-5 overall and 2-3 in the American Athletic Conference, visits Cincinnati on Friday night.
Top dogs
Assumption College clinched the Northeast-10 Conference football championship with a 40-3 win over American International
Senior defensive end Joe Bruno (Old Forge) had five tackles for the Greyhounds — three of which were for losses, including two sacks.
Fellow senior Tyler Armillay (Riverside) started at left guard and helped the offense total 486 yards (187 rushing, 299 passing).
Junior defensive lineman Corey Souryavong (Old Forge) added one tackle.
At 9-0 overall (8-0 league), Assumption is tied for eighth in this week's American Football Coaches Association Division II Top 25 poll. That is the highest ranking in program history.
First score
Kutztown University redshirt senior defensive end Ronny Tomasetti (Mid Valley) had two tackles — one for loss — in a 65-0 victory over Cheyney University.
Late in the first half, however, Tomasetti was inserted on offense at running back. On first-and-goal from the Cheyney 4, he carried for three yards, then scored on a 1-yard run on second down. It was his first career collegiate touchdown and gave the Golden Bears a 42-0 halftime lead.
Andrew Garbarino (Valley View), a redshirt senior tight end, had a 28-yard reception in the game. Redshirt junior tight end Jorden Sekol (Old Forge) and junior offensive lineman Jaleel Howard (West Scranton / Lackawanna College) also played for Kutztown (7-3 overall, 5-2 league).
Getting his kicks
West Chester University junior punter Brendan Paulison (Delaware Valley) averaged 48.3 yards on six punts in a 27-24 win over Millersville University.
Three of his punts were downed inside the 20-yard line, giving him 16 for the season. That is tied for fourth in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference. He leads the PSAC in punting average at 44.0 yards.
Paulison also made two tackles.
Simon Williams (Abington Heights), a junior, started at tight end for the Golden Rams. Sophomore Lex Rosario (Delaware Valley) also played.

Nonnenberg won the 1,000-yard freestyle in 10:01.78. The senior captain also captured the 400-yard individual medley in 4:13.23. That was almost five seconds ahead of runner-up Carly Cummings of Auburn (4:18.07).
Also, in a meet against the University of Florida on Oct. 25, Nonnenberg swam a 16:54.26 in the 1,650-yard freestyle. Her time ranks fourth nationally in the event.

After a few days in Bangkok, we headed south to Phuket. White sandy beaches and turquoise water were the drawing cards.
Phuket is an island (but just barely) about 1.5 hours south of Bangkok by air. Our friends, Paul and Gina had recommended Phuket, so we went there first. Also, the name "Phuket" appealed to Dan's juvenile sophomoric humor. Paul and Gina were kind enough to sponsor us for a 3 day visit to the Marriott Time Share on Phuket. It was a lot of fun to vacation in luxury for a few days – we took advantage of many activities including a Thai class, Zumba, a bike tour, and hobie cat sailing. In between we explored all the swimming pools and tasted all the drinks.
Kids on the school bus
One of Dan's favorite memories from Phuket does not have a photo. He was running in the morning on a very narrow country road when he came up behind a school bus full of what appeared to be 1st graders. The bus was like a tiny cattle truck, with 2 benches in the back, and a roof overhead. When the kids saw Dan, they all crowded to the back for a good look. There was a tiny old woman whose job it was to make sure the kids got on board safely and the gate was closed before the bus started moving. In summary it was a tiny truck on a tiny road, full of tiny kids, with a tiny chaparone.
Dan's haircut.
We were staying in a small country resort, and across the street there was a barber.
The barbershop was basically a tin roof supported by some poles. Inside there was a barber chair and a bed where the barber slept between haircuts. Dan went over one morning to get a haircut. The barber got off the bed, put on his shirt, and started to cut. The cut included shaving Dan's neck with a razor, which made Dan a bit nervous, but it all worked out OK, and it was cheap!
One unusual aspect of this barbershop is that in one corner there is a gas station. Many little businesses sell gasoline. They have gas in old beer bottles, which they sell to the motor scooter owners. They also have a roughly 20 gallon can of gas and a pump in case a car wants to buy gas.
Dan's brush with the law
We were driving through Phuket town in a rental car when a policeman waved us over. Dan pulled over and rolled down the window. The policeman asked for Dan's driver's license, looked it over, put it in his pocket and wrote out a ticket. We eventually understood that we needed to park the car, walk to the police station, pay the fine (about $12), and return. He would then return the license. However when we got back to the corner we found that the original policeman had gone off shift, and taken Dan's license with him. We were a bit concerned about this but found another policeman who told us to return to the police station and retrieve the license. When we got there, the guy who was collecting the fine joked with us that it would be 100 Euro, but it was really about 100 Thai Baht. It was never clear whether Dan had violated some subtle law, or this was just a tourist trap.
Char's name
Char found that her name, Charean Thai means to flourish or develop. Actually they spell it Charoen, but that is pretty close!

Last Saturday I had TWO incredible sessions, one in New Braunfels in the morning, and one at the Japanese Tea Garden (down by the zoo) in the evening. How lucky can a girl get? I met the very sweet L family for the first time, crawled around in the dirt with handsome Mr. G (who recently turned 1, and was a little surprised to see me in the dirt with him), and had a very enjoyable evening getting some great images!

Sweet Girly Girls
These are MY girls! My two daughters and my favorite (and only) niece. My sister's wonderful Mother-in-Law sewed these darling outfits for the girls, so naturally we had to do their pictures together.

Every year about this time, we begin to break out our humidifiers.
One thing however I have always disliked about them, is how BIG and well, unattractive they could be. They also only served one purpose... moisture.

This new Vicks Starry Night Humidifier projects a soft glow of color changing stars/moon onto your children's ceiling and wall.
I took a photo of it running in my children's room to give you an idea of what the stars looked like. Mind you, it was PITCH BLACK, so the photo is a tad grainy & very dark...
It is a beautiful soft light that any child will enjoy watching as they drift off to sleep.
I can imagine for a sick child, this would help soothe them even more.
GET YOUR OWN: So if you are looking for a new humidifier this season, that serves more than one purpose, check out Vicks Starry Night Humidifier. Your kids will love it!
WIN YOUR OWN: I get to giveaway not 1... not 2....BUT 3 of these humidifiers to 3 randomly chosen winners. That means you get 3 chances to win ;-)

Velita Stanford can't remember a time she didn't fear her husband's explosive temper. She tries so hard, but some days, nothing she does is right. So when she's summoned for jury duty, Velita dreads what her husband might do if his abuse is revealed.
As the case gets underway, Velita begins to see life outside of her husband's shadow. Still sick with worry, she befriends two jury members who show her a kindness--and the God--she has long forgotten.
This could be her chance to change her life, but every step Velita takes is weighted by her husband's oppressive presence. As she tries to balance her role as a juror with the terror she finds in every situation, can Velita overcome her fears and trust those who offer help? Or will the darkness of her life continue to consume her?

Today I'm interviewing the most lovely JB Lynn. If you haven't checked out her book yet you should!
Can you tell us a little bit about yourself?
I'm a voracious reader, an obsessive writer, a long distance walker (half marathons) and someone who drinks way too much coffee. I usually have purple ink stains on my right arm/sleeve and I've been told I'm not much fun to watch TV/movies with because I have a terrible habit of yelling out what I think will happen next. (I'm usually right!)
Do you ever experience writer's block? Do you work with an outline, or just write?
Yes, yes, and yes. For me, writer's block is not caused by a lack of ideas. It's a result of knowing I've done something wrong or chosen the wrong path. Figuring out where I've gone wrong…whether it's a line of dialogue, a choice a character makes, or the fact the story has strayed from the best path, is what will eventually get me "unstuck". I chart out the major moments in the story (both the physical and emotional storyline) but there comes a point where I ignore what I've done and just write.
Is anything in your book based on real life experiences or purely all imagination?
The fictional town of Lakeside Acres is based on a town in Pennsylvania I spent a lot of time in as a teenager. I found it kind of creepy, especially at night. Also, I have a deep, deep love of pistachio muffins, which is why they appear in the story multiple times, lol.
What was your favorite chapter (or part) to write and why?
I enjoy both of Emily's escapes, because in my mind they're sort of the bookends of the novel. My original idea for the book was centered on her fight for survival when she was a teenager, so it holds a special place in my heart. I love the mixture of absolute terror and her steely resolve in that part of the story. I also love when she "escapes" through the window of her bedroom as an adult…because…hmmmm I don't want to give any spoilers here…because her escape is fueled by a different kind of fear, an admirable fear, imho.
How did you come up with the title?
It's a great title, isn't it? I can't claim credit for it. I called the novel STOLEN for years, but that didn't go over well. It was my brilliant editor, Charlotte Herscher, who came up with THE FIRST VICTIM. It was definitely one of those moments when I was left thinking, "Why didn't I think of that?"
Are there certain characters you would like to go back to, or is there a theme or idea you'd love to work with?
I think that many writers have a central theme that they explore over and over again. My personal theme seems to be: How Far Would You Go for Someone You Love? It's something I wrestle with in every project. In The First Victim it's the question Emily has to answer again and again, starting with, should she go back to Lakeside Acres to care for her sister?
Do you have any advice to give to aspiring writers?
Don't be afraid to put yourself on the page. For the longest time I wrote what I thought I "should" write…in the style I "should" be writing in. Making choices based on "shoulds" takes away from who you are and what you're capable of doing. Once I finally got it through my thick head that all my posturing wasn't working, and took the chance of putting down the real me on the page, things started improving.
What sort of coffee would you order? Simple coffee, complicated soy-non-fat-extra-espresso-half-caff-nightmare?
Coffee with milk/cream/creamer (but not any of those sweetened/flavored creamers). Coffee NOT Starbucks sludge…I'd drink tea instead if offered that.
Is there anyfood you refuse to eat?
White bread, pea soup, brussel sprouts, lima beans, gravy.
If you could live off of chocolate would you? What kind?
Nope. Now if I could live off cheese it would be a different story….
Author Bio
Although fascinated by things dark and twisted, JB Lynn is also enamored of tales of love conquering all. These dual interests manifest themselves in her stories as dangerous villains, and the heroines and heroes who must defeat them.
She has a great love of her husband, dog, coffee, purple ink, spiral notebooks, running gear, hot showers and 80's music. Given enough time, all of these things will eventually show up in her books.

Managing time, events, a newborn, a seven-year old, nursing, and constant migraines as well as fybro flares has been quite a challenge. It took almost 5 months but it seems as though things are back on track. I wish I was one of those moms that get back to it and life goes back to normal in a month or two after baby. Let's just say I am far from that. Yay for being a cripple, HAHA!
We have went back to clean eating. Eased into it this time instead of going all out and replaced things bit by bit until it started to become routine. For far too long we ate take-out, went out, had delivery or frozen foods. Now I just have to once again teach myself how to eat often once again. I have little to no appetite until dinnertime is around the corner. Working on that. I'll get there soon enough. Baby steps I suppose.
My basement is FINALLY fully functional as of this past week. I have lights, power (not enough outlets but hey, I can make do), new carpet and my workout area set back up. I did get quite the shock trying to hook things up with very little lighting down there. My eyelid twitched for a day but no harm was done. As far as using the basement, I have been.
As of this past week I started working out daily again. Just some cardio, yoga and toning stuff. Nothing major or really that challenging. I am certainly in TERRIBLE shape! No flexibility, most of my strength is gone my stamina is shot. But starting from scratch is nothing new to me. I did it before so it wouldn't be impossible to do it once again.
In October I am doing the Run Scream Run 5k in Ypsi. I am cutting it close. Running has not been part of my life since last summer. I have tried to run but even getting to a jog is killing my calves. Not sure if it is the fybro or being overweight, a combination of both or something entirely different. I ordered some compression sleeves and when they get here we will see how things feel. If that doesn't help back to the doctors. Doctors love people like me, people like me get them RICH! The plan is to run or at least jog as mush of the 5k as possible and if I can't do it for the entire 5k I will power-walk to the finish.
Today was a free day after a week of workouts. Sunday never feels like the beginning of the week, Mondays do. So as of tomorrow I will be starting Les Mills Pump at day one. The plan is to log my workouts here on WP daily. I do not plan to post on rest days. I did not weigh or measure as of yet. But I will get to that soon.

Evigishki Merrowgeist
Evigishki Merrowgeist is a Rank 4 XYZ Monster with 2100 ATK and 1600 DEF that requires 2 Level 4 monsters as the XYZ Materials. After damage calculation, if this card destroys an opponent's monster by battle, you can detach 1 XYZ Material from this card to shuffle the destroyed monster into the Deck instead of sending it to the Graveyard. This effect works well when this card destroys an opponent's monster that can activate its effect in your Graveyard such as Bacon Saver (Bacon Saver can be banished to negate the attack of 1 monster on the field). Evigishki Merrowgeist can also be used on a Deck that has monsters that depend on the number of monsters in your Graveyard or specific monsters. Evigishki Merrowgeist would be very helpful if you playing against a Crystal Beast Deck. Evigishki Merrowgeist would make it hard for your opponent to Special Summon Rainbow Dragon if it destroyed one of your opponent's Crystal Beast monsters by battle. This card's effect may not seem as good, but there are many unseen benefits to this effect that get exposed at the right time.

Mumbai: Former Maharashtra chief minister Prithviraj Chavan has demanded a probe by a joint parliamentary committee to ascertain the "real intention" behind the Centre's demonetisation exercise.
The senior Congress leader also demanded a regulatory mechanism for the digital payment companies in the country.
"As time passed after demonetisation, a different scenario came up, contradicting the initial claims made by the prime minister on November 8 (last year), while announcing the exercise. This was an impulsive decision which hurt the country to no ends," Chavan told PTI.
He alleged that after it became clear that the initial claims put forward as reasons behind the decision to scrap high-value currency notes did not prove to be true, the goalpost was shifted.
"After the RBI said that all the money had come back into the system, Jaitleyji (Finance Minister Arun Jaitley) had said the intention behind demonetisation was digitisation. Now the question that arises is, was the prime minister aware of the real intention or was he kept in the dark," Chavan said.
"There should be a probe by a joint parliamentary committee to ascertain whether the prime minister knew that the real intention (behind demonetisation) was digitisation or was he also kept in the dark about the whole process and its repercussions," he added.
The Congress leader also claimed that the payment processing companies would keep looting the country until a payments regulatory board was formed by the government.
"Jaitleyji had announced to form the board in his budget speech. Yet, nothing has been done. Unless there is a proper infrastructure in place, people cannot be forced to go cashless," Chavan said.

Scientists, have identified a mind hormone that can trigger fat blazing in a gut.
Researchers from The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) in a US found a mind hormone that privately and selectively stimulates fat metabolism, though any outcome on food intake. The findings, published in a biography Nature Communications, in animal models could have implications for destiny curative development.
"This was simple scholarship that unbarred an engaging mystery," conspicuous comparison author Supriya Srinivasan, an Indian start researcher and a member of a TSRI. The researchers experimented with roundworms called C. elegans, that are mostly used as indication organisms in biology.
What else is creation news
These worms have easier metabolic systems than humans, though their smarts furnish many of a same signaling molecules, heading many researchers to trust that commentary in C. elegans might be applicable for humans. They deleted genes in C. elegans to see if they could miscarry a trail between mind serotonin and fat burning.
This routine of rejecting led them to a gene that codes for a neuropeptide hormone named FLP-7 (pronounced "flip 7"). They found that a mammalian chronicle of FLP-7 (called Tachykinin) had been identified 80 years ago as a peptide that triggered flesh contractions when dribbled on pig intestines. The subsequent step in a new investigate was to establish how FLP-7 was directly related to serotonin levels in a brain.
The investigate suggested that FLP-7 was, indeed, secreted from neurons in a mind in response to towering serotonin levels. FLP-7 afterwards travels by a circulatory complement to start a fat blazing routine in a gut.
The newly detected fat-burning pathway works like this — a neural circuit in a mind produces serotonin in response to feeling cues, such as food availability. This signals another set of neurons to start producing FLP-7 and afterwards activates a receptor in abdominal cells and a viscera start branch fat into energy.

Ok, that wasn't really the question of the day. It is supposed to be show us a photo of yourself from two years ago but man, how many photo's of me does everyone need to see. And anyway I don't look much different.
So I've changed it to Show us a photo of your mothers dog wearing a christmas hat. Or it could be Show us something that always makes you laugh. And this does. Every time I walk past it and see it on the wall. Poor old Polly, she's not alive any longer, she was a big clutzy stupid thing. But I love how she's just sitting there as if she wears a christmas hat every day.

Our Torch lily (Scadoxus multiflorus) has bloomed again this year. It is a very lovely flower which can last for up to two weeks. The Torch lily is known by several other names – such as Blood lily, African Blood lily, Paintbrush lily, Football lily, Powderpuff lily, Poison root, and Fireball lily.
I guess it is also called Poison root since it is indeed poisonous if eaten . . . causing symptoms such as increased salivation, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. The Torch lily plant is easy to care for, and can be grown from bulbs and seeds. You may read more about this plant here.
Although our second Torch lily plant didn't grow much this season, this leafless bulb is still sending out a flower just the same. Amazing!

After voicing a slew of complaints and threatening a lawsuit, the residents of Hitching Post Lane will get to keep their green space.
The group working to build a fenced dog park next to the condos on that road withdrew its proposal last night, finding it impossible to appease the abutters.
Condo residents almost universally rejected the idea, citing concerns about aesthetics, noise, safety and pollution.
Laura Ziton, a member of Friends of the Northborough Dog Park, told selectmen the group would try to find another site.
"The last thing we ever wanted to do when we founded this group was to fight," she said. "We want to be good neighbors."
Ms. Ziton said she wished the Friends had known about the abutters' concerns earlier, but acknowledged that a compromise seemed impossible.
Selectmen voted in the fall to allow a dog park at 195 Southwest Cutoff (Route 20), known as the Mustang Stables property, assuming the abutters had been notified. But months later, condo residents complained that they were not informed. Selectmen allowed them to voice their concerns at a meeting last month.
At the time, Frances O'Neill, chairwoman of the condo association's board of trustees, said she and her neighbors paid a premium to live near conservation land, and they didn't want unleashed dogs trampling it.
Last night, Ms. O'Neill said she was "very pleased" with the Friends' decision to withdraw.
Selectmen heaped praise on the dog park group and said they were optimistic the group would find a new site.
"I'm convinced at some point in the future there will be a dog park," said Jeff Amberson, chairman of the Board of Selectmen.
Selectman Leslie Rutan thanked the group for being considerate. "I admire what you're doing right now," she said.
Ms. Ziton said working with town officials has been a pleasure.
Her husband, Anthony Ziton, said the group will take another look at some of the sites it previously considered. There aren't a lot of options, he said after leaving the meeting.
Mr. Ziton said the Friends group sent letters to all of the condo residents last year, but none of the residents said they received the letters. If he could do it all over again, Mr. Ziton would send the letters as certified mail, he said.
Friends of the Northborough Dog Park formed three years ago and represents more than 150 families in town.
In February 2010, the group sought to build a dog park at Assabet Park, near the center of town. But it abandoned that plan when selectmen and residents objected to the idea of unleashed dogs in a park that also has a play area for young children.

The new appraisal scheme, which has attracted widespread criticism, is due to start in September. But Government sources now say they expect annual appraisals to start "within the next school year".
The shift was welcomed by teacher union leaders, who would prefer the scheme to be delayed by 12 months.
Teachers will be set targets, including one based on pupil performance. Appraisal will be linked to pay and professional development.
Nigel de Gruchy, general secretary of the National Association of Schoolmasters Union of Women Teachers, said he had told standards minister Estelle Morris to note the pay review body's report, which says that only a third of governing bodies had implemented performance pay systems for heads, three years after they were supposed to. He said: "This does not bode well if the Government wants all teachers to be appraised by performance."
A paper by the National Union of Teachers said: "For each teacher the appraisal interview would move away from the mutual trust and respect in each existing appraisal scheme to a high stakes interview with senior management on which movement up the pay spine would depend."
The NUT has said that it will ballot its members to boycott appraisal if it is introduced this September.
Chris Tyldsley, a secondary teacher from Sheffield, said Department for Education and Employment officials, running a Green Paper road show, were told by virtually everyone in the room that they opposed linking appraisal to pay.
He said: "Heads said it was too bureaucratic, classroom teachers said it was divisive and governors said they didn't want the responsibility of delivering it."
TES readers are being given the chance to have their questions about the Green Paper answered directly by standards minister Estelle Morris.
The consultation period for the Paper, which will radically change teachers' pay and conditions, ends at the end of the month. Teachers' pay is to be linked to performance and meeting objectives agreed with senior staff.
Classroom teachers will be able to move to a higher pay scale, following assessment by their head and an external assessor.
Crossing the threshold will mean a 10 per cent rise and the opportunity to earn up to pound;35,000, depending on performance.
Teachers will have to show that they keep up to date with their subject, have taken part in professional development courses, are competent with computers and can motivate their pupils. Targets will include pupil performance.
Also proposed is a new leadership spine for senior staff, advanced skills teachers and heads.Progress up the spine will depend on performance assessed by the governing body.
There will be a scheme of fast-tracking allowing rapid promotion for young high flyers. Top-of-the range fixed contracts will be available for troubleshooter heads to take on problem schools.
The Government has allocated pound;60 million a year to reward schools that have excellent exam results or show sustained improvement.
The TES website has details of the Green Paper and a form for writing your questions. You may also e-mail questions and comments which will be forwarded to Ms Morris - her answers will appear later this month.
Questions to the minister can also be sent to Frances Rafferty, The TES, Admiral House, 66-68 East Smithfield, London E1 9XY or faxed on 0171 782 3200.

Court ruling on isoHunt could have huge ramifications, says founder
I met with Gary Fung, the founder of the BitTorrent site isoHunt this week and he talked about his legal battles with the MPAA in the United States and his court case in British Columbia in which he is seeking to have his web site declared legal. Fung says isoHunt isn't a BitTorrent tracker but a search engine and he says if the court rules what it is doing is illegal, the decision could affect every search engine and web site that links to copyright material.
While the Swedish verdict has resulted in a number of BitTorrent trackers shutting down, Fung said he has no plans to shut down isoHunt or his two other BitTorrent sites. His legal battles are civil, unlike The Pirate Bay founders who faced criminal charges in Sweden.
"I don't think it affects me that much," Fung said of The Pirate Bay decision, which is being appealed. "There is a lot of drama going on and it amuses me how the Swedish court is always amateurish.
"How can they appoint a judge who is so biased? That boggles my mind. I don't think that something like that could happen in Canada or in the U.S."
Fung said regardless of whether or not the judge was biased, the judgement is "too severe."
"I think that is the consesnsus whether people agree with The Pirate Bay or not – they agree the judgement being handed out is too harsh."
Fung said he has ideological differences with The Pirate Bay. He said while that site openly mocks copyright holders who ask for material to be taken down, his company will comply with such requests from legitimate copyright holders.
Here is a version of the story I wrote about my interview with Fung for The Vancouver Sun, along with some added material.
While the founders of one of the world's largest free file-sharing websites, The Pirate Bay, have been sentenced to jail, a 26-year-old Vancouver man is taking on the global recording industry with his own lawsuit, asking the courts to rule that his BitTorrent site is totally above board.
And since Gary Fung is arguing that his site — isoHunt.com — is a search engine, this copyright case is being closely watched, because if he loses on those grounds it has implications for Google and every other website that offers links to copyright material.
In essence, he says, every search engine, in fact every website, that links to downloadable content that is copyright protected could be held liable.
"That is what we have been arguing in court," he said. "I think that is why the judges are having so much trouble deciding our case. There is nothing simple about it, and the ramifications are huge.
"It goes far beyond our sites, it goes far beyond BitTorrents. It goes to core issues about what liabilities website owners have running a website on the Internet. It is the issue of 'linking' — what liability do you have for simply linking to material that is copyright?"
Sitting outside a Vancouver cafe, Fung flips out his iPhone to demonstrate how Web surfers can use Google to easily find torrent sites just as they could go to isoHunt. Simply specify that you want to search for torrent files — BitTorrents being a free, open-source file-sharing application — and that's enough to provide links for everything from free movies to music and games.
For example, type "Slumdog Millionaire filetype:torrent" in Google search and in minutes you could be watching the film. Another way is to create a Google custom torrent search, as web users already have done, including ThePirateGoogle.
isoHunt is awaiting a U.S. court decision in which it has been sued by the Motion Picture Association of America. It recently asked the B.C. Supreme Court to rule it is not infringing copyright with its websites that include isoHunt, TorrentBox, and Podtropolis. The judge said he cannot make a ruling without a full court hearing. Fung said he is appealing that decision.
So will the file-sharing world be looking to this University of B.C. grad as a bastion of BitTorrents, or will his web sites join others shutting down in the wake of The Pirate Bay decision?
Fung doesn't believe his sites will shut down anytime soon, nor does he fear the type of treatment meted out to The Pirate Bay founders, who are now appealing a recent Swedish court decision in the wake of revelations that the judge is a member of several anti-piracy organizations.
Firstly, Fung's court cases are civil, not criminal as in the case of The Pirate Bay. And secondly, Fung doesn't consider himself a pirate. While The Pirate Bay publicly mocks requests by copyright holders to take down copyright material or links to it, Fung said his company has a full-time employee dealing with requests to take down copyright material. Additionally, he argues that isoHunt is simply a search engine, and that it doesn't host copyright content.
"Eventually, I want to work with them," Fung says of the recording industry. "It is unfortunate that they are making a war of this."
The crux of the problem, according to Fung, is that the recording and movie industries have been unable to adapt to new technology that has fundamentally changed the way content is distributed. Peer-to-peer file sharing is here to stay, he says, and attempts to turn back the clock are doomed to fail.
"They have made war against consumers, suing thousands of people. And then they stopped suing consumers and they are trying to shut down websites," he said. "What they are doing is [like] wack-a-mole — they can shut down The Pirate Bay or other sites, but look at Napster and where that got them. Trying to shut down websites is not a solution, you shut one down and another will come up."
Fung started isoHunt as a hobby while he was still a student at UBC, where he studied computer engineering. Now he makes money from advertising on the site, but he won't say how much.
"Right now I have to say it is a business. We have to make money to sustain our business, and to sustain the lawsuits that are costing quite a bit."
On the isoHunt forum, Fung talks about his legal battles and points out that while he is not against copyright, it does "need significant reform in the internet age." He also argues that BitTorrent hasn't "made a dent" in Hollywood's earnings and he links to this ars technica story from last March.
As well as fighting back in court, isoHunt is turning to social media for support with a Facebook group that now counts more than 9,000 members.

My phone rang while I was heading home for lunch. "Hi, Kate, it's WoefullyUndertrainedAndProneToPanic at the reception desk… We just got a call from Joe, who is a client already but says he doesn't want to talk to his case manager. He says he's very unhappy. What should I do?"
Now, if you were my husband, or amongst the lucky few who have witnessed my tantrum after such a phone call, you would know the answer to this question: call his case manager anyway, or call the case manager's supervisor. The rule is unambiguous: If someone is already a client and calls during business hours, then they should be referred to a member of their treatment team. It's not because those of us in Emergency Services are lazy or work-averse, it's because, presumably, the treatment teams have a philosophy and a purpose behind their treatment, and Emergency Services is intended for crisis response. We can't know the philosophy behind every client's treatment plans, so it's best to keep the coninuity as long as the team is available. Or something.
Anyway. "You should call the treatment team anyway, WUAPTP. Not wanting to talk to the treatment team doesn't invalidate protocol."
"Oh. OK. Right."
Ten minutes later: "Hi, Kate, it's WUAPTP again. We couldn't reach his case manager or the supervisor, and Joe just called back. Now he says he took a bottle of Seroquel. What should I do?"
"Well, WUAPTP, taking a bottle of Seroquel kind of takes this out of the realm of needing someone to chat with. He needs an ambulance. Can you call 911, or do you want to give me his address and I'll do it?"
"Oh! Right! It says that right here on our protocol sheet! Call 911! Right! I'll do it! How exciting!"
Really? Whatever.
Hours later, then, I got the call that Joe was medically clear and ready for his mental health assessment. He may, indeed, have taken a whole bottle of Seroquel, but given the fact that he was alert and coherent, I would bet good money that the whole bottle didn't contain more than five or ten pills. Regardless, he needed a conversation with a mental health professional – some days, that would be me – before getting the all-clear to go home.
Over the course of the next two hours, I listened to him explain why he thought he should be the one to restructue our entire agency to suit his preferences. I listened to him tell me, verbatim, that "What I really need is someone who will just sit on my couch next to me, all day, every day, and help support me to avoid drugs and behave in the right way." He was baffled at the idea that this might be seen as excessive. I listened to him simultaneously describe grandiose career plans while preemptively rationalizing why he couldn't possibly ever actually function as a productive adult. I watched him emotionally abuse his fiancee, and I watched her take it.
Finally, I got tired. Most assessments take about half an hour, with the bulk of my time going into the process of finding a hospital bed if it goes longer than that. This guy didn't need to be in a hospital. He needed a firm and decisive smack upside the head with a two-by-four and an enthusiastic set of consequences for his ongoing manipulative and snotty behavior. But since I couldn't provide either of those, at least not legally, then I was trying to provide his family with some of the tools necessary to protect themselves against him. When it became clear that no one was interested in changing a thing about their lives, I said, "Listen, Joe, I realize that you've had a long day. Let's cut to the chase: you have a mental illness, and you also have an unpleasant personality. The first does not excuse the second. Are you safe to go home again, or do you need to be in a hospital for a few days?"
"Oh. Well. Um. No, I can go home, I never meant to kill myself in the first place. It was my fiancee's fault, for not paying enough attention to me. It was –"
"OK, thanks, Joe. Take care. Follow up with your case manager on Monday. Good night!"

Waking up today in the mountains again we are treated to a full on snow storm all around the bus and truck the drifts are now some 6 to 8 feet and building ,last night the front door to the bus was not closed right which resulted in the cab filling up with a huge drift (another wee job on the list replace the doors with a good solid wooden door)
Last night standing down by the river the clouds and drifts of snow combining to form a huge natural dome not unlike St Pauls or some similar building and with the moon managing to drive its yellowy beam earthward it truly was a time to rejoice in the simplicity of life in the mountains
Staring westward into the wall of snow and with a faint light cast all around a huge wall of snow seem to head towards me gathering height as if any minute it would engulf me on its journey westward ,then through the snow two lights appeared and still it roared towards me
almost before i had time to fully explain this strange occurrence the snow plough passed at some 20mph and in a matter of seconds was enveloped into the snow storm onwards ever onwards in the battle to keep the road clear .
Again today was filled with clearing the track and checking everything ,running the truck up etc
(i have 3 of these garden solar lights which supply all the lighting for the bus , power is via 6 wee batteries total of 9v )this supplies more than enough lighting
we are now running at a little over 100 watts of power ( this is only when i have he laptop ,satellites and tv running )and thanks to the wind turbine i am gathering enough energy just one slight problem i need more batteries ( another wee job)
Listening to the weather forecast has really started to annoy me no matter what the weather the forecasters seem to treat us to their opinion of it, to much ,not enough rain to much snow etc etc ,just tell us what is coming and let some of us enjoy the wind, rain ,snow ,sun etc without the constant negative thoughts …
I had another enquiry with regards posting a shop on my blog and i am so glad at last that i am starting to make a wee bit of money from my work etc on line
although i have been moaned at for having ads on here ,that is how i earn a living as all my other work films and pics the money from them goes to various charity's
I had someone moaning about the ads then asked me to place a link to HER shop/site but when i asked would that not be another ad except i wouldn't get paid ,she got the hump and not heard anything else again
Tomorrow i am off to make a wee film i hope you will enjoy it ??
Am i not allow to earn a living ,

Is Your Signature Legible?
I'll admit that my signature is pretty much a scribble. You can pick out the "J" and the "L", but that's about it.
In college, when I went to the financial aid office to sign for the loans, one of the office workers told me that every letter of my name had to be legible (including my middle name, and I never sign my middle name). It was awkward because I really had to take my time, think about it, and form each letter slowly. But I also thought that it kind of defeated the purpose. If anyone were to ever compare that signature to any other official signatures of mine; my drivers license, Social Security card, passport, etc, they wouldn't match.
But when you're a government official, apparently it's important that people know who's signing the document. New treasury secretary Jack Lew had to alter his illegible scrawl for his official signature on the dollar bill, as you can see in the picture above.
So what about you? If someone were to look at your drivers license, would they be able to decipher your name? Comment below and let us know!

I used to be on the Cam, but now I'm in Toronto, just knitting! My e-mail: marydeb40 AT yahoo DOT com

WIP Wednesday -- Willpower!
The squares are so tantalising, though! They take very little time (unless one makes 19 of them) and they are so fun, specially since I have new yarn -- try this colour with that one, figure out some schmancy stitch pattern, use up this last bit of some colour... But, I must resist...
I'd show you a picture of the red dress -- because, despite the lure of the squares, I do take the dress out and work on it -- but until I reach the bodice (a few more inches to go) it looks much the same. So, stay tuned, but don't hold your breath!
And an update about the blind woman who wanted to knit the spiral defect chaos sweater: I suggested to her that she get someone, like her clever husband, to write a code to change the black squares to B and the white squares to W, and then it would be machine-readable, and she thought that might just work. Her previous idea had been to have someone read it to her, and she would Braille it out, which would take forever! (The other might also be a lot of work, but since I don't really understand about "writing code," but I do understand that it's a large chart to read out, I think one is worse than the other!) I hope she will actually make it!
Let's see now, I must sort out the kitchen, but perhaps I'll just start a red square.... NOoooooo!!

I showed Brian the yarn I chose for his Christmas scarf last night and he hates it. He said "I'm not a blue kinda guy". Back to square one!!!! He did like the pattern though - a nice cable going down the centre. Now what to do with the $60 worth of Manos. Something for myself, of course!ReplyDelete
Thanks for the update on the blind knitter. I hope she can find a way to knit the sweater. I have thought about her when I'm knitting with two colors in a relatively dark room while trying to watch tv and the number of times the two balls of yarn get tangled up is amazing. I can't imagine trying to do untangle them and knit it blind!ReplyDelete

Access to anticoagulation treatments
In patient hospital care
Before or at the time of admission to hospital for surgery or medical reasons, a patient should be assessed as to their risk of blood clots. People will be asked to provide their complete medical history, details of any medications they are taking and whether they have had a clotting episode in the past. This information is important as it will affect the type and level of anticoagulant treatment you may be offered to reduce the risk of blood clots during your stay and for the period of time after you discharge when you may still need protection.
The clinical staff at the hospital will carry out the assessment on admission (or before if elective surgery) and again 24 hours after admission and at any other time if there are changes to your health or changes to your treatment
People should be made aware of the risks of hospital acquired clots and how they will be protected with medication and mechanical prophylaxis such as compression stockings and intermittent pumps which helps the circulation in the legs. You should also be told what you can do to help prevent a blood clot. For patients who are assessed at risk of blood clots but who are unable to take blood clotting medicines, wear compression stockings or use the pumps, they may be offered a Geko device (NICE guidance MTG19) which looks like a small wristwatch that is attached bleow the knee. It stimulates the muscles in the leg and foot and may help to reduce the risk of blood clots forming.
Doctors will decide which anticoagulants are best for you dependent on your medical circumstances – options as below
- Low weight molecular heparin (LMWH) given by injection
- Apixaban - tablet
- Dabigatran - tablet
- Edoxaban - tablet
- Rivaroxaban - tablet
- Warfarin oral - tablet
Apixaban, Dabigatran and Rivaroxaban are anticoagulants and are used during hip and knee surgery and to prevent blood clots in people with Atrial Fibrillation. Apixaban, Dabigatran, Edoxaban and Rivaroxaban can also be given to treat and prevent deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism.
Heparin is also used as a prophylaxis for elective knee and hip replacement followed by one of the newer anticoagulants to extend cover after surgery.
Warfarin is used for treating deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism (blood clot in the lungs) and for some people they may need treatment for six months or life long. Unlike other anticoagulants, warfarin needs to be monitored regularly and this requires frequent blood tests. You will need to have heparin injections at the start of the warfarin treatment until your blood tests show that you have reached the desired target range. This will be explained to you by your nurse or doctor
If you are advised that you need to take an anticoagulant, it can be helpful and reassuring to discuss the options with your doctor to ensure you are able to make the right choice with their guidance. Once you have left hospital, you may continue to be cared for by your GP and they will need to know what treatment you are taking, the duration recommended and whether you need to have regular monitoring.
If you feel that at anytime in the process you have not had an opportunity to have an informed discussion around the choice of anticoagulation available for your condition, you should raise this with your clinician in the first instance.
If they are unwilling to advise or offer you a choice of medicine options and you are concerned, you can ask for your situation to be reviewed in the following way:
At the hospital, you can contact the Patient Advice and Liaison Service (PALS) team who will be able to look into your complaint. Every hospital has a PALS office and details should be available on the hospital website. If you are not satisfied, you can complain to the Commissioner at your local Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) details can be found here.
At the GP practice, you can speak with the Practice Manager and advise them of the circumstances and they will look into your concerns
If you are being denied access to anticoagulation treatments or access to-self testing if you are taking warfarin, then you can escalate your complaint to the CCG or to NHS England
If you are unhappy with the outcome of your complaint you can refer the matter to the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman, who is independent of the NHS and Government.
Information relating to the NHS Complaints procedure can be found here
You may decide to talk to your Member of parliament about your complaint. You can find out who your MP is here: http://www.parliament.uk/mps-lords-and-offices/mps/
AntiCoagulation Europe (ACE) aims to help individuals who may need support and guidance in accessing treatments. Resources such as template letters to help in the preparation of a complaint are available on the ACE website www.anticoagulationeurope.org
If you need any additional support contact ACE at email@example.com or phone the helpline on 0208 289 6875 (manned during core office hours and answer machine facility)

Rachelle's Cowl
This pattern is available as a free Ravelry download
I designed and named this cowl after myself. I felt inspired to design this project after knitting many cowls for friends. Sometimes a knitter just needs to spoil herself or himself. This is an eyelet inspired cowl with simple knit rolled edge. The design starts with a knit band section followed by a lace section. This pattern is repeated a total of four times to create a lacy yet warm fabric. Great for knitters of all skill levels. Easy to memorize pattern!
The cotton creates a lusciously soft feel while still being washable. Cowl can be wrapped once for a nice draped scarf look, or twice for a shorter warm neck cowl.

A Sustainable Business for Social Good: G3BOX
As a socially conscience business, we believe it is important to promote sustainable practices throughout the healthcare and medical field. We were inspired by this story of four engineering students from ASU who turned a class project into a real world solution for social good by repurposing old and used shipping containers.
The assignment was to design a function for the numerous abandoned shipping containers at ports across the world. Due to the high cost of returning shipping containers, many companies desert them once they reach their destination. Gabrielle Palermo, a biomedical engineering student, and her team immediately decided they wanted to create a solution that could help people. Eventually, they came up with G3Box, a company that coverts steel shipping containers into low-cost, modular, and mobile medical clinics. The idea is to sell these transformed mobile units to nonprofit and nongovernmental organizations for use in developing nations. G3Box, which stands for "generating global good," can be used by hospitals, organizations looking to expand their facilities, or as temporary clinics in disaster zones.
The containers come equipped with ventilation, insulation, power, water, and other services the customer may request and can cost between $12,000 and $18,000 to build. According the Palermo, the biggest need is for medical clinics, however the containers may be used for "any type of social work" including classrooms, food distribution units, dental offices, or whatever someone may need.
With the help of donations, prize money, and funding the team is currently working on deploying their first prototype to Kenya this summer, which will be used as a maternity clinic. For every medical clinic sold, a portion of the profits goes towards providing clinics to organizations that work in developing communities addressing critical health care issues.
These guys meet the gold standard when it comes to being a socially responsible business. We encourage anyone to check G3Box out on their website or on their Facebook page.
