New satellite images reveal ongoing activity at North Korea's atomic test site, according to a US research institute, as expectation mounts of an imminent nuclear detonation by the isolated state.
The images, as recent as January 23, suggest the facility would be ready to conduct a test "in a few weeks or less" once the order is given, the US-Korea Institute at Johns Hopkins University posted on its 38 North website on Sunday.
"Snowfall and subsequent clearing operations as well as tracks in the snow reveal ongoing activity at buildings and on roadways near the possible test tunnel," it said.
The institute's analysis followed a series of daily threats from North Korea that it is preparing its third nuclear test in response to UN sanctions imposed on Pyongyang for a long-range rocket launch in December.
In a meeting with top security officials, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un ordered "substantial and high-profile important state measures," fueling speculation of an imminent detonation.
Military chief Hyon Yong-Chol, the head of the army's politburo Choe Ryong-Hae and spy chief Kim Won-Hong attended the meeting, state television reported on Sunday.
Last week's UN resolution imposing sanctions threatened further "significant action" if Pyongyang conducted a nuclear test.
The North's two previous detonations in 2006 and 2009 followed a similar pattern of a missile launch, followed by UN measures, followed by a nuclear test.
US warnings about the consequences of a third test have been backed by unusually strident criticism of Pyongyang by its sole major ally China.
Last week, a state-run newspaper close to China's ruling Communist Party, said in an editorial that Beijing would "not hesitate" to reduce aid to North Korea if it went ahead.
China has been the primary benefactor of Pyongyang since the 1950-1953 Korean War, providing critical diplomatic and economic support.

World's Largest Garage Sale in St. Cloud Draws Thousands [VIDEO] [PHOTOS]
ST. CLOUD - A huge crowd gathered to attend the World's Largest Garage Sale at the St. Cloud State University Fieldhouse on Saturday.
Tons of vendors and thousands of visitors came to attend the event, sending a line out to the parking lot at times. Co-owner of Cutting Edge CNC Plasma, Gloria Luebke, has been at the event for several years now, she says the crowd has grown every single year.
"It's been very busy so far, I think it will continue to be this busy all day," Luebke says.
Every item imaginable was available for purchase at the garage sale. Everything from clothes to antique items lined the Fieldhouse floor.
The event also gave groups and vendors a chance to meet and greet with visitors. Laurie Larson was at the Rasmussen College booth at the garage sale, she says it was great to see a huge crowd at the event.
"There's so many great people I've met year after year, so it's a nice community bonding event for us," Larson says.

Washington, D.C. (June 22, 2010) — Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) Senior Vice President Ken Johnson issued the following statement today regarding clinical trials conducted abroad:
"America's biopharmaceutical research companies are proud to be among the nation's primary economic engines. Pharmaceutical research companies lead the world in the search for new life-saving and life-enhancing medications and, in 2009 alone, invested an estimated $65.3 billion to discover and develop new medicines.
"While the number of experimental medicines in clinical testing today – more than 2,900 medicines for nearly 4,600 different indications – represents an all-time high, America's biopharmaceutical research companies develop drugs for a worldwide market and conduct clinical trials inside and outside the U.S.
"It's important to remember that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has jurisdiction over clinical trials conducted in foreign countries for drugs approved in the U.S. or being studied for approval in the U.S. The same strict regulatory standards apply to foreign trials as trials conducted domestically. Sponsors are typically in communication with the FDA throughout clinical trials – no matter where they are conducted.
"Clinical trials occur globally because we have global companies that make medicines for use around the world. Our member companies make every effort to combat diseases that are common in the developed, as well as the developing world. That can, ultimately, deliver life-saving and life-enhancing medications to patients around the world more quickly.
"Is it ethical to conduct such studies outside of the U.S.? In a word: Yes. Consistent with PhRMA's Principles on Conduct of Clinical Trials and Communication of Clinical Trial Results, our member companies are committed to adhering to Good Clinical Practice guidelines around the world.
"In fact, PhRMA has conducted educational seminars and symposiums – at times, in conjunction with the FDA – in other countries to educate potential clinical trial principal investigators about Good Clinical Practices, ethics oversight by outside review boards, and the need to maintain the highest standards for data quality.
"Regardless of the location, however, companies seeking U.S. approval must maintain the FDA's high standards for conducting the trial. For instance, any related trials conducted outside the U.S. must comply with FDA requirements covering Good Clinical Practices, in addition to meeting the requirements mandated in these important emerging markets.
"Clinical research is a critical element in the development of revolutionary medicines that help patients live longer, healthier lives. Through carefully controlled clinical studies, researchers thoroughly assess the safety and efficacy of new drug candidates.
"America's pharmaceutical research and biotechnology companies have a long-standing commitment to help ensure physicians and other healthcare providers receive meaningful information from these clinical trials.
"The PhRMA Clinical Trial Principles, created in 2002 and strengthened last year, have been an invaluable guide to member companies and underscore our commitment to the safety of clinical trial participants and communication of important medical findings from clinical trials."
The Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) represents the country's leading pharmaceutical research and biotechnology companies, which are devoted to inventing medicines that allow patients to live longer, healthier, and more productive lives. PhRMA companies are leading the way in the search for new cures. PhRMA members alone invested an estimated $50.3 billion in 2008 in discovering and developing new medicines. Industry-wide research and investment reached a record $65.2 billion in 2008.

By super rats on July 22, 2010
What I find amusing about both the 501 and 504 strike witch aerial divisions is those numbers are also designations for brands of Levi's blue jeans. Given the flight junkie thing about this show, the squadron numbers, if not just some random numbers pulled out of their pants, are more likely related to the air [...]

Shangri-la: In the Dark Ocean of Trees
By super rats on April 15, 2009
Episode two was boring and didn't do much to advance the story or the characters. All we learned was jungles are bad places, people still play lotto, and this is one twisted loli: I'll give it a few more episodes. Hopefully, the premise of Shangri-la can survive the production.

San Diego Superior Court Judge Timothy Taylor today ruled that the San Diego Association of Government's (SANDAG) regional transportation plan, with a sustainability chapter as required by SB 375, violated the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Judge Taylor concluded that the environmental review accompanying the plan, as required by CEQA, did not sufficiently analyze the greenhouse gas impacts of the plan through 2050.
SB 375 requires transportation plans like SANDAG's to meet specific emissions targets by both 2020 and 2035, through more sustainable land use and transportation investments. Although the SANDAG plan technically met those targets on paper, as I blogged about back in 2011, the plan relied on temporary measures like telecommuting and highway widening to meet the targets and then projected significant backsliding in emissions reductions, from 14% per capita in 2020 to 9% by 2050.
Judge Taylor focused on the deficient 2050 analysis in the CEQA review in part because former Governor Schwarzenegger issued an executive order requiring the state to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions 80% from 1990 levels by 2050. Although the order is not codified by statute, the agency implementing AB 32, California's global warming law that requires greenhouse gas emissions reductions to 1990 levels by 2020, relied on the executive order in its AB 32 implementation plan. In addition, state and local policy makers have cited the executive order in formulating a diverse array of policies. Finally, even SANDAG's own plan projects emissions beyond 2020, thus necessitating analysis of environmental impacts through the years covered by the executive order.
Judge Taylor made the right decision holding SANDAG's feet to the fire. While the agency was constrained politically by its local government members and financially by a pre-existing local sales tax measure, the sustainability plan it produced failed to articulate and advocate for the kind of long-term changes necessary to invest in liveable communities instead of exurban sprawl. For example, the agency refused to commit to altering how it would spend local sales tax revenue to meet sustainability goals, and it also took an overly narrow view of what highway projects were considered "committed" and therefore beyond reconsideration in light of SB 375.
Land use changes take decades to materialize, and bad ones stay with us just as long. With this lawsuit, SANDAG now has the legal and political cover to develop a sustainability plan that can actually work for the citizens of San Diego, investing in transportation improvements for those who want to walk, bike, or take transit to work and to services. SANDAG will likely appeal this decision, but other regional planning entities around the state are on notice. Even though SB 375 lacks enforcement measures as an incentive-based system, CEQA will be lurking to make sure their plans do as much as they can and actually meet the greenhouse gas emissions targets.

William Kennewell is just 25 years old. But there's something unusual about this young Australian: He already wears a full set of dentures.
The hotel worker had to have all of his teeth removed because they rotted from drinking too much soda, the self-professed cola addict tells Adelaide Now.
Kennewell drank between six and eight liters of sugary sodas each day, which is equivalent to about 24 cans of the fizzy stuff in a 24-hour period!
There are 39 grams of sugar in one 12 oz can of coke, meaning Kennewell was bathing his teeth in more than 900 grams of sugar each day — not to mention consuming more than 3,000 calories a day in soda (shockingly, Kennewell doesn't look overweight from his picture on Adelaide).
Apart from health risks like obesity, cancer, and high blood pressure both the high sugar content and acidity in inherent in sodas have been shown to wear away at tooth enamel, the hard dental tissue that protects our teeth from tooth decay.
Although we can't be sure of Kennewell's oral hygiene habits (we have to assume they weren't spectacular based on the evidence that he ignored dentists' warning to kick the soda habit and now has no teeth), the harmful effects of soft drinks, especially after excessive and prolonged consumption, can't be ignored.
According to Adelaide, Australian researchers are now using Kennewell's story to rile up support for their campaign to place labels on soft drinks that warn about the risks of tooth decay.

October means many things for New Orleanians—the coming of fall weather, fall festivals, Halloween and, of course, Oktoberfest. While many bars and restaurants across the city host their own interpretation of Oktoberfest (Oct. 11-12, 18-19, 25-26)—generally themed with plenty of German beer and food—the German organization Deutsches Haus has become the primary host for the event.
Since 1928, Deutsches Haus has been a hub for Germans and their culture. It evolved from the Deutsche Gesselschaft, which dates back to 1848 and was a source of support for German immigrants in the city. Having since expanded on its foundation to assimilate Germans into life in America, the organization has become a haven for German culture and remains so today in the form of Deutsches Haus.
In its determination to expose and introduce New Orleanians to German culture, Deutsches Haus began hosting its annual Oktoberfest celebration each year for the past few decades and has become Oktoberfest central as a result.
For years, Oktoberfest—and other German cultural events—was held at Deutsches Haus' historic Mid-City location on Galvez St. But when plans were announced to build the upcoming medical complex that stretches from downtown through its Mid-City area, the Deutsches Haus had to shut its doors and move out to the suburb of Metairie. The Oktoberfest itself has now been celebrated at Rivertown in Kenner, the next town over, for the past three years.
Despite a change in location, Oktoberfest continues its event's strictly German traditions, from German beer and food to German live music and dancing. To complement the event's wide selection of German beers, there will be German food such as bratwursts, sauerkraut, red cabbage, German potato salad and even an 11-ounce pretzel. Live music includes traditional waltzes, polkas and marches by such bands as Das Ist Lustig, Prost and The Brats.
In addition to these classic bits of German culture, Oktoberfest will feature a 5K and a dachshund run, a beer stein-holding contest, wine tastings, a European car show, a $500 cash door prize and a cookbook unveiling and signing for celebrity chef John Besh's Cooking From the Heart.
Deutsches Haus' Oktoberfest will be hosted at Kenner's Rivertown at 415 Williams Blvd. Tickets are $6 per person and free for kids 12 and younger. The event's last two weekends are Oct. 18-19th and 25-26th.

It was great to watch the ceremonies last week commemorating the 200th anniversary of the birth of America's greatest president, Abraham Lincoln.
With Barack Obama's ascension to the presidency, and his own much-noted admiration for the legacy of Lincoln, the name of the 16th president had been invoked a lot lately.
It seems two African countries have found an African solution to an African problem.
By the time this paper hits most mailboxes in Bedford, I'll be high above the skies en route to the Philippines as part of a medical missions team.
Thanks to Rick
My first move when the Bedford Bulletin arrives is to open to the editorial page and read Rick Howell's column. He does such a great job of demonstrating the ridiculous thought processes of today's liberals. This week in the Feb. 4th issue he practically gushed defending the pork, oops sorry, "special interest" provisions in this "spend our budget into oblivion" bill.
Over the years Operation Blue Ridge Thunder has taken its share of criticism. In fact, during the last sheriff's race, Bedford County Sheriff Mike Brown was often taken to task by claims from opponents that he brought criminals into the community through the effort, because of the nature of the program. Last week's events in Bedford County should put a halt to such talk.
By now just about everyone knows about the digital TV transition. Three years ago Congress passed legislation setting a hard deadline for television stations to stop broadcasting their signal in analog format. This transition from analog to digital, known as the Digital TV (DTV) transition, was scheduled to take place on February 17, 2009. However, this last week Congress passed short-sighted legislation which delays the upcoming DTV transition for four months.
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has advised claims for reimbursement of out-of-pocket medical expenses incurred during 2007 will be accepted beginning January 1, 2009.
This week the Bedford Museum and Genealogical Library continues to honor those that are making history today.
Bedford is proud of Anthony Poindexter who has been Defensive Backs Coach for the football team at the University of Virginia for eight years. He was raised in Forest and attended elementary school at New London Academy. He graduated from Jefferson Forest High School and majored in anthropology at University of Virginia, graduating in 1999.
We're approaching the midway point of the 2008 session, commonly known as "crossover." Before Valentine's Day arrives, both the House and the Senate will have completed work on all the bills submitted by their own members, and also will have approved their respective versions of amendments to Virginia's biennial budget.
From where I live in Roanoke I can hear the factory whistle blow several times a day. It produces a lonely wail first at 7 a.m., at noon and 12:30 p.m. for the lunch break, and then at 3 p.m. for the end of first shift.
My son and I have passed the factory many times as we've walked to the Roanoke River. We never knew what the initials "FWC" stood for. Recently, I saw familiar footage of the factory grounds on television.
Although the weekend's weather was quite mild, cool rather than cold, the big chill we had last week made me think of a story I did in January.
I had heard that the city and county "Democrats" were having Weed at a joint meeting at the Welcome Center. Wondering if the sheriff knew about this, I took a camera and notebook and went there to check it out.
Having run through $700 billion in a bailout bill with nothing to show for it, Congress and the President are now salivating over how to spend another $1 trillion that, at best, will do little to stimulate the economy or create jobs. At the same time, however, the people of this nation continue to be the one's stepping out and making a difference.
Take the Society of St. Andrew, for instance.
The Big Island faith-based hunger relief organization stepped up big last year.
Be careful when driving
Once again, our family has gone through a situation that we had hoped would never happen. As all parents know, when your children start driving, you hope they will draw the line between common sense and being reckless.
Unfortunately, we cannot be with them at all times and remind them of the consequences of a foolish mistake.
With the economy in crisis and 16,500 Americans losing their jobs each day, Congress acted rapidly, transparently, and responsibly to pass an economic recovery package for American families. The bill is not perfect and may yet be improved, but it is a reasonable and decisive step out of economic chaos. I voted for H.R. 1, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, because our families and localities need this lifeline.
This past week the House of Representatives considered the so called "American Recovery and Reinvestment Act". This legislation, which will cost the American taxpayers more than $1.1 trillion including interest, is just another example of wasteful Washington spending at its worst disguised as an economic stimulus bill. The goal of this legislation was to provide tax relief to families and invest in infrastructure. Unfortunately, the legislation has been loaded up with pork barrel spending like $600 million to buy new cars for government workers, $44 million for
The Bedford Museum and Genealogical Library has honored those that have made history in the past. This year the Museum is honoring those that are making history today.
Bedford is proud of Charles Nelms, Sergeant of the Bedford Police Dept. Nelms was born in Body Camp and attended Body Camp Elementary School. After graduating from Staunton River High School he served three years in the Marines achieving the rank of Corporal. Charles is serving his 23rdrd year in the Bedford Police Dept.
Are there 1,840 things wrong with Virginia? That's how many bills legislators filed for this year's General Assembly session. Every one of those bills proposes some change to the Code of Virginia, the laws that govern our commonwealth. Every bill, however, will not become law.
The refusal of the Republican Party in the House to support President Obama's economic stimulus bill raised a basic question about the GOP as the new president attempts to carry out the mandate he was given.
Will Republicans work with the president or will they continue to rely upon the failed policies - and the wrong-headed notions behind those policies - that got them beaten so badly in November?
I'm not sure exactly what the "Democrat'" stimulus plan will stimulate beyond the national debt. It threatens to open a deficit chasm that will make the Bush deficits look like ruts in an unpaved country road by comparison. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner ought to think twice about antagonizing China with accusations of currency manipulation as we are going to need them to buy up all this debt the Treasury will be issuing. But, maybe Geithner didn't really mean that and just made an honest mistake.
According to newly sworn-in President Barack Obama, he won and those who disagree with his initiatives are just going to have to learn to deal with it.

Protetion is a line of products, developed by the Center Region Company, in which tissue-specific peptides are used as an active component. So each product in line is designated for the restoration and support of some specific system in human organism.
The Protetion line has three unique characteristic features:
First. Glutathione lays in a basis of all products. It is a substance, which defines and supports oxidulation-reduction potential of the intra-cellular water in the body. Oxidulation-reduction potential is a physical characteristics of water, which is characterized by the quantity of free electrons in a given volume. It is measured in millivolts. For example, oxidulation-reduction potential of internal liquids in the organism is between minus 100, minus 200 millivolts – higher values are typical for cell division; oxidulation-reduction potential of amniotic fluid is minus 200 millivolts, mother's milk - minus 70 millivolts, melted water - minus 50 millivolts. Oxidulation-reduction potential of tap water is plus 140 millivolts (it could reach even plus 300), carbonated drinks - plus 480 millivolts.
The point is, that in order to assimilate a product with a positive oxidulation-reduction potential, organism needs first to being this parameter to its standard, to saturate it with free electrons at the expense of its own resources. In the Center Region Company we learned to preserve negative oxidulation-reduction potential for a long periods of time. It has value of minus 200 – minus 240 millivolts. it helps both to make up a deficiency of free electrons, and makes this product an ideal carrier for active (curative) components. Center Region is a patent holder at the method of injection of the curative preparations using the medium with negative oxidulation-reduction potential. Protection intake is carried out by resorption under the tongue. Negative oxidulation-reduction potential of the glutathione insures instant resorption.
Second. Tissue-specific peptides are active components of the protection line. Specific peptide complexes when are coming into the organism, are starting the processes of restoration, regeneration and rejuvenation of specific organs. Peptides are amino-acids, which naturally present in the organism, but united by a special peptide bonds, they are natural and harmless active components. Accordingly nowadays there are 9 kinds of Protetions.
Third. Natural vegetable extracts are included into the composition of each Protection, they are the source of vitamins and mineral elements. The main principle is: the daily dose of the preparation contains the daily requirement. It is convenient. Additionally pectin is included, it has a property to clean out organism tissues from poisonous substances, reduces sugar level in blood, improves peripheral circulation.
Most Protetion preparates (with the exclusion of number 9) have pleasant neutral, slightly apple –like taste. Metal package protects product from our information influences. Prodact has a dispenser – these ensures ease of use and accuracy of dosage. One pack – is one intake course – approximately 50 days.
Comtent: Cleaned water, apple pectin, peptide complex (Glutathione, glutamine, lysine), soy isoflavones, plant extracts
Implementation mode: 0,5 – 0,8 ml. two times a day, 30-40 minutes prior to meal, intake duration 7-8 weeks
Contraindications: Individual intolerance to components.

I t's strange how our anomalies can define our reputations: that single lie in an ocean of truth, that one harsh word in a river of praise, or in my case, that one controversial column among scores of innocuous ones.
Many locals still seem to know me for that piece, which I wrote back in June 2010. "Oh yeah," they say. "You're the guy who wrote that dog article."
"Canines, crags and calamity: Do dogs and climbing mix?" was by far the most inflammatory column I've ever written. That single article generated 71 (mostly scathing) online comments and 12 personal email exchanges — 10 times the feedback I normally receive.
The gist of the article, which was peppered with personal stories of doggie disaster, was that dogs don't belong at the cliff. I wrote, "The thing that climber/dog owners don't seem to understand is that — at best — their dog is only mildly irritating to fellow climbers."
To this, one reader quipped, "A border collie and a puppy at the crag yesterday made my day. I'd rather someone brought their dog to the crag and left Weidner at home."
At the end of the article I recommended three tongue-in-cheek techniques for avoiding canine encounters while climbing. One of them unfortunately read, "Carry pepper spray. And make sure dog owners know that you're not afraid to use it." I cringe reading this now. At the time and in the context of the article, I figured readers would know I was joking.
The comments suggested otherwise.
"My advice to people who run into Chris at the crag — have a cell phone and make sure he knows you are not afraid to use it to report him when he's abusing dogs," wrote one reader. Another was so incensed that he actually emailed the Humane Society of Boulder Valley to report my flagrant support of animal abuse.
Today, I'm readdressing this issue for two reasons. First, I'd like to apologize (better late than never, right?) to the many readers I offended back in 2010. Not for my opinions, but for my one-sided insensitivity. Second, a little old dog came along since then and softened my heart — and my stance on this issue.
Six months after I wrote that column, I met my future wife, Heather, and her dog, Sammie. Heather seemed perfect — except for the dog. As expected, Sammie annoyed me with her habits, like always being underfoot. Her breath was terrible and she lacked independence (unlike the cats I had growing up), which felt stifling at times.
But day by day, imperceptibly, I caught myself thinking of her when she wasn't there. I looked forward to her wagging tail and palpable happiness after a day of climbing. Heck, I even brought her climbing with me (gasp!) — as I looked over my shoulder for Daily Camera readers who might rightfully call out my hypocrisy.
For the record, I still believe that some dogs belong at home and not at the cliff. I also believe that the best crag dog is often the one you don't notice. And I'm as furious as ever when a dog eats my lunch, barks incessantly or prances on my rope with muddy feet. But Sammie and I shared that special dog-human bond that I never understood before.
Last Friday, Sammie suffered a stroke that left her unable to move anything but her eyes. Her breathing was shallow and labored. Fourteen-year-old Sammie died that night at a local animal hospital as Heather and I held her little paws in our hands.
When I first wrote about climbing and dogs almost three years ago, I never would have guessed that, within a year, one doggie would begin to melt my heart. More important, Sammie reminded me every day of what matters most in life: compassion, tolerance and love.

Students in the Golden Hills School Division are performing well and continue to improve in many areas according to the most recent results on the 2015-2016 Provincial Achievement Test and Diploma Examinations.
"We are very pleased to see continued increases again in this year's student achievement results" said Bevan Daverne, Superintendent of Schools. Many of our Achievement test and Diploma exams results have continued to rise across Golden Hills schools. We are very proud of the hard work of our students as well as the work our teachers do to create innovative and engaging classrooms."
Golden Hills saw increases in the number of students achieving Acceptable Standard over the previous year in eight of the nine diploma courses (English 30-1 & 30-2, Math 30-2, Chemistry 30, Social 30-1 & 30-2, Biology 30, and Physics 30). Golden Hills' students exceeded the provincial Standard of Excellence benchmark in five of the nine diploma courses (English 30-1, Biology 30, Chemistry 30, Physics 30, and Math 30-1). There were also increases over the previous year in the number of students achieving the Standard of Excellence in five of the nine diploma courses (English30-1, English 30-2, Chemistry 30, Biology 30 and Physics 30).
In Golden Hills School Division, the percentage of students achieving the Acceptable Standard improved over the previous year in five out of the eight of the Achievement tests in grades 6 and 9 (Grade 6 Language Arts and Math, Grade 9 Language Arts, Math and Science). The percentage of students achieving the Standard of Excellence improved over the previous year in three of the eight Achievement Tests. Grade 6 Math and Grade 9 English Language Arts and Science were above the Provincial average for the number of students achieving the acceptable standard. Furthermore, Grade 6 Language Arts, Science, Social, Grade 9 Language Arts, Science and Social all exceeded the provincial Standard of Excellence
"Our focus is students who are gaining the skills to become strong critical thinkers, problem solvers, innovators and creative doers while ensuring foundational skills in literacy and numeracy. Our highly skilled teachers utilize research proven, high yield strategic instructional practices that improve student learning." Dr. Kandace Jordan, Deputy Superintendent. "Golden Hills School Division teachers are committed to the professional learning and collaboration that results in powerful learning experiences that promote deep student understanding"
The Provincial Achievement and Diploma Examination results are measured in the Provincial Accountability Pillar. Other indicators include dropout rates, high school completion, post-secondary transition rates and a variety of stakeholder satisfaction measures.
Principals will communicate their school's results, along with important contextual information, to parents at School Council meetings. This information will be reported in each school's Annual Educational Plan and Results Report which will be posted on their website by November 30.
In accordance with the Provincial Protocol the Board has had the opportunity to review the 2015-2016 provincial testing results for the diploma exams and Provincial Achievement Tests. "We are all very pleased to see the continuous growth of our students' achievement level. The Board is grateful for all the hard work teachers, support staff and parents have done to help support students. Parents are encouraged to attend the School Council meeting where principals will review the results and discuss the school's annual education plan" said David Price, Golden Hills School Division Board Chair.

(Cerebrovascular Accident; CVA; Cerebral Infarct)
Stroke is a brain injury caused by an interruption in blood flow. Brain tissue that does not get oxygen and nutrients from blood can die within minutes. The damage to the brain can cause a sudden loss in bodily functions. The types of function that are affected will depend on the part of the brain that is damaged.
There are two blood flow problems that cause a stroke. Strokes may be ischemic or hemorrhagic.
- An ischemic stroke is caused by a blocked blood vessel. It is the most common cause of stroke.
- A hemorrhagic stroke is caused by a ruptured blood vessel.
Hemorrhagic vs. Ischemic Stroke
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
An ischemic stroke occurs when something stops the flow of blood. It may be a buildup or swelling of the walls of the blood vessels and/or something in the blood that becomes stuck in the blood vessel. A blockage in a small blood vessel will affect a smaller area of the brain. A blockage in larger blood vessels can block the flow of blood to several smaller blood vessels, leading to more brain damage.
The blockage may be the result of one or more of the following:
- Atherosclerosis —a build-up of fatty substances along the inner lining of the artery that gradually decrease the area the blood can flow through
- A blood clot that has traveled from other parts of the body such as the neck or heart
- Inflammation of the blood vessels
Risk Factors
Risk Factors
Certain factors increase your risk of stroke but can not be changed, such as:
- Race—People of African American, Hispanic, or Asian/Pacific Islander descent are at increased risk.
- Age: Older than 55 years of age
- Family history of stroke
Other factors that may increase your risk can be changed such as:
- Drug abuse from cocaine, amphetamines, or heroin use
- Smoking
- Physical inactivity
Certain medical condition that can increase your risk of stroke. Management or prevention of these conditions can significantly decrease your risk. Medical conditions include:
- High blood pressure
- High cholesterol levels —specifically high-LDL bad cholesterol
- Low bone mineral density, especially in women
- Obesity and metabolic syndrome
- Sleep apnea
- High blood homocysteine level
- Atherosclerosis
- Diabetes mellitus or impaired glucose tolerance
- Atrial fibrillation
- Blood disorders such as sickle cell disease and polycythemia
- Vascular dementia
- Disease of heart valves, such as mitral stenosis
- Prior stroke or cardiovascular disease, such as heart attack
- Peripheral artery disease
- Transient ischemic attack (TIA) —a warning stroke with stroke-like symptoms that go away shortly after they appear
Conditions that increase your risk of blood clots such as:
- Cancer
- Certain autoimmune diseases
- Migraine with aura
- Having a blood vessel abnormality
Risk factors specific to women include:
- Previous pre-eclampsia
- Use of birth control pills, especially if you are over 35 years old and smoke
- Long-term use of hormone replacement therapy
- Menopause
- Pregnancy—due to increased risk of blood clots
Symptoms occur suddenly. Exact symptoms will depend on the part of the brain affected. Rapid treatment is important to decrease the amount of brain damage. Brain tissue without blood flow dies quickly.
Call for emergency medical services right away if you notice any of the following sudden symptoms:
- Weakness or numbness of face, arm, or leg, especially on one side of the body
- Confusion
- Trouble speaking or understanding
- Trouble seeing in one or both eyes
- Lightheadedness, trouble walking, loss of balance, or coordination
- Severe headache with no known cause
A physical exam will be done to look for muscle weakness, visual and speech problems, and movement difficulty. If possible, you will be asked about your symptoms and medical history.
Images may be taken of your bodily structures. This can be done with:
- CT scan
- MRI scan
- Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA)
- CT angiogram (CTA)
- Doppler ultrasound
Blood tests can also help determine if there is a bleeding problem.
Immediate treatment is needed to open the blocked blood vessel. This should restore blood flow to the brain tissue and stop further damage.
Treatment after immediate care will aim to:
- Reduce the chance of later strokes
- Improve function affected by the stroke
- Overcome disabilities
Supportive care may also include:
- Oxygen therapy
- Precautions to prevent choking
Certain patients will receive a group of drugs called thrombolytics. These medications can rapidly dissolve blood clots. They are often given by IV but can be delivered directly to the arteries where the blood clot is. These medications need to be given within hours after the start of symptoms to be effective. That is why it is important to get medical help right away if stroke symptoms develop.
Aspirin and other medications that decrease the risk of blood clot formation may be recommended after immediate care is done. These medications may prevent future strokes from occurring.
To help manage other health issues and decrease the risk of future strokes the doctor may recommend medication to:
- Decrease blood pressure
- Correct irregular heart rhythms
A surgery may be done to allow blood flow back into the affected area such as:
- Extracranial/intracranial bypass—blood vessel from the scalp is used to reroute blood supply around the blocked artery
- Embolectomy—a catheter is threaded through blood vessels to the clot. It can remove the clot or deliver clot-dissolving medication directly to the area
A stroke can cause swelling in the brain. A decompressive surgery, such as craniotomy, may be needed to relieve the pressure in the brain to prevent damage.
Other surgeries may be performed following a stroke to prevent a recurrence. These surgical options include:
- Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) —fatty deposits are removed from major arteries in the neck.
- Carotid angioplasty and stenting —a procedure to widen and support the major artery in the neck with a mesh tube. The procedure will help open the artery and allow better blood flow.
If brain tissue was damaged, rehabilitation can be an important part of your recovery. Rehabilitation may include:
- Physical therapy—to regain as much movement as possible
- Occupational therapy—to assist in everyday tasks and self care
- Speech therapy—to improve swallowing and speech challenges
- Psychological therapy—to improve mood and decrease depression
Many of the risk factors for stroke can be changed. Lifestyle changes that can help reduce your chance of getting a stroke include:
- Exercise regularly.
- Eat more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Limit dietary salt and fat.
- Stop smoking.
- Increase your consumption of fish.
- Drink alcohol only in moderation: no more than 1-2 drinks per day.
- Maintain a healthy weight.
- Check blood pressure frequently. Follow your doctor's recommendations for keeping it in a safe range.
- Take a low dose of aspirin if your doctor says it is safe.
- Keep chronic medical conditions under control. This includes high cholesterol and diabetes.
- Talk to your doctor about the use of a statins. These types of drugs may help prevent certain kinds of strokes in some people.
- Seek medical care if you have symptoms of a stroke, even if symptoms stop.
- If you abuse drugs, talk to your doctor about rehabilitation programs.

This weekend I was pondering the world of whiskey and in particular what I'd most like to see from producers. Obviously, for a whiskey lover, spending too much time on this subject could yield a rather long list. Outside of easy availability for all for the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection and Van Winkle products, here are a few things I'd love to see:
George Dickel Barrel Strength No. 12: George Dickel is probably my favorite distillery. Is it because they produce the best whiskey? No – not exactly. I do love their 12 year old and Barrel Select, and it's such a quaint, beautiful distillery tucked into a remote hollow in the southern portion of Middle Tennessee. I hate the fact that it's treated as second class by the parent company, Diageo. Anyways, I would love to try a barrel proof version of their No. 12. I don't think this one will ever see the light of day. Diageo uses Dickel essentially as a barrel producer for the company's main whiskey brand, Johnnie Walker. Don't plan on them doing any special releases that might divert away from their primary mission. Hey, a man can dream though.
Older (17+ year) Four Roses: This kind of goes against Four Roses Master Distiller, Jim Rutledge's, philosophy on great bourbon. He believes bourbon hits a sweet spot between 8-12 years. I'd be a fool to think I know more than a thimble full of the whiskey knowledge Jim possesses, but I can't help thinking that their single story aging process would make for some stellar older bourbons(17-20 years). Aging whiskey in a single story warehouse (5-6 barrels high) puts the whiskey through a less volatile aging process. If you've tasted many Four Roses products, what you'll notice in most cases is well integrated oak – it's a component and not the star of the show. Every now and then we get a taste of some older juice in the Four Roses Limited Edition Small Batch releases, but it's usually mingled with 10-12 year old bourbon. What I want to see is either a blend of older bourbons or some single barrels. Are you listening Four Roses?
Four Roses Rye: Four Roses makes it on my list again here. It's widely known that Four Roses uses more rye grain in their "B" mash bill than just about any other bourbon. A distillery that does that as well as Four Roses I'm sure could produce some outstanding rye whiskey. More than that, I'd be keenly interested in seeing how Four Roses' 5 yeast strains influence a final rye whiskey. Talk about a hell of a lot a options. Will we see it? Rye whiskey isn't going anywhere, and provided Four Roses can add it to their product line without hurting bourbon production, I think we will see it one day. Check out my three part discussion with Jim from 2011. He talks about rye a little bit. The reason it's not an easy decision is because Four Roses, in spite of the history, is still a young brand (reintroduced in the U.S. in the last decade). It has taken tremendous efforts just to get the primary product lines (Yellow Label, Small Batch, and Single Barrel) entrenched. That's a smart business model for sure – do a few things REALLY well, but I think it's time for Four Roses to branch out. A rye whiskey is the perfect way to do so. The bad part is we'll have to wait a long time before it would be properly aged. I'm patient though.
These are just a few things I'd like to see from a couple of producers. What about you? Let's hear what you'd most like to see.

Global Climate Change and Wildlife
Description: Recently projected climate changes could have widespread effects on wildlife species. These effects might be positive or negative, depending on the species. Some effects might include extinction, range shifts, mismatches in phenology (timing of pollination, flowering, etc.), and population changes. If the effects of climate change are widespread, there is uncertainty on how wildlife will adapt. Some suggest that evolution and migration will enable species to adapt, whereas others contend that adaptation will be minimal because of limited habitat, and changes in climate that may occur may rapidly than adaptation can respond.

The latest on the allegedly seized Iraqi oil well is that Iraq is denying the reports.
ABC Australia: A senior Iraqi officials has denied reports that Iranian troops had crossed into Iraqi territory and briefly occupied a remote oilfield area.
Security sources in southeastern Maysan province, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Iranian troops made their way onto the Fakka oilfield area, on the Iraqi side of the border, then withdrew after several hours.
Iraq's deputy interior minister, Ahmed Ali al-Khafaji, says no incursion took place.
"This news in not true. This field is disputed and now it is neglected by both sides," he said.

XML is a markup language for encoding data in machine (and human) readable format. It is designed for simplicity and portability. XML tags are written using angle brackets <>, with the tag name and attributes inside in the format <tag attribute="value">.
Some Ideas for Challenges:
-Define your own XML format. This can be done using a number of schemas, including a Document Type Definition (DTD) or an XML Schema.
-Experiment with some XML parsing APIs including SAX, DOM, and a pull parser. Possibly work with the DIC API.
-Layout XML using CSS or XSLT
-Write a program to generate XML from existing data, perhaps including a SQL result set
-W3C XML Documentation
-KYA's Blog Entries on Parsing XML in Java and C#
-DIC API Feedback and Support forum
My Entry: My Write Columns of Table To XML snippet.
/* @param $result: the result set from the SQL query @param $cols: the array of column names @param $filename: the name of the File to create @param $tagName: The name of the container tag for each row
The File is assumed to not exist
 */ public function queryToXML($result, array $cols, $filename, $tagName){ $file = fopen($filename, "w"); //open up file stream //write initial XML heading fwrite($file, "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"ISO-8859-1\"?>\n"); //foreach row while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){ fwrite($file, "<".$tagName.">\n"); //write data using col name as tag foreach($cols as $tag){ fwrite($file,"\t<".$tag.">".$row[$tag]."</".$tag.">\n"); }//end foreach //close row tag fwrite($file,"</".$tagName.">\n"); }//end while fclose($file); }//end queryToXML()

Few NYC ad dollars spent on Ethnic Media
From the New York Carib News
The Center for Community and Ethnic Media, which is housed at the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism, is releasing a report today on the advertising practices of New York City's government.
The report documents how little of the city's ad budget goes to community and ethnic publications despite their large and devoted readership. The combined circulation of the 95 ethnic newspapers and 80 weekly community papers is about 4.5 million, or 55 percent of the population, yet they receive only about 18 percent of the city's advertising dollars.
Chief among the findings are:
* New York City is currently spending about $18 million a year to convey messages about health, education, transportation, economic development, as well as job opportunities at city agencies, to the public.
* About 82 percent of the ad budget of city agencies is earmarked for mainstream publications such as The New York Times, the New York Post, the New York Daily News, amNY and MetroNY. The rest is disbursed among smaller community and ethnic publications, many of which are published in languages other than English.
* Hispanics make up over 28 percent of the city's population, but in recent ad spending by NYC agencies, Spanish-language publications have garnered less than 4 percent of the total
For years, publishers of small community and ethnic newspapers have complained that New York City government agencies overlook them when choosing where to run ads about their programs and services. To weigh these concerns, CCEM interviewed city officials, advertising executives, and newspaper publishers. CCEM also reviewed publicly available records, including some retrieved through Freedom of Information Law requests.
The report concludes with a series of recommendations for the Mayor's Office, heads of city agencies, members of City Council, and the Comptroller to try to redress the imbalance in the New York City's advertising spending.
"The Center has come up with a number of ways that public officials – both current and future – can address the problems identified in our research. We hope there will be a constructive dialogue with them in the future," says Garry Pierre-Pierre, executive director of the Center for Community and Ethnic Media.
The report was researched and written by Professor Sarah Bartlett, director of the Urban Reporting program at the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism, with the assistance of Pierre-Pierre. Funding for the report was provided by the Charles H. Revson Foundation.

April 07, 2006
LOS ANGELES - Right from the beginning, Prof. Kevin McCardle was impressed with the way the St. Joseph Center (SJC) in Venice went about its business.
SJC provides a range of social and educational programs to poor and homeless families and individuals in West Los Angeles. But after becoming familiar with them via a fundraiser at his children's school, McCardle not only saw an organization doing much needed work, he saw an organization doing good work and doing it well. "It's an organization of compassionate people doing great work that goes unrewarded," McCardle told the Daily Bruin.
"They put a lot of thought into what they were doing," says McCardle. "They know what they have to give away and they optimize the way they do it." He cited the center-run Bread and Roses Café, which serves hot meals to homeless persons. The café not only serves the meals, it requires reservations. The reservations enable the staff to then ensure that each diner is taking advantage of other services the center offers or governmental services for which the other person is entitled.
Since that chance introduction in 1999, McCardle has become deeply involved with SJC. He serves as an ambassador, introducing those in his personal and professional circle to the center. He's served meals at the café and distributed bags of groceries at the pantry. He sits on St. Joseph's Board of Directors and chairs its audit committee. He's recruited his faculty colleagues; Prof. Steven Lippman is also on the audit committee and Senior Lecturer/retired Senior Associate Dean Bill Broesamle (who once directed placement services at UCLA Anderson) assists elderly individuals with counseling and job placement. He's inspired faculty to give monetarily as well.
As a result of all of these efforts (and others too numerous to list), McCardle is one of four recipients of the Anne C. Rosenfield Distinguished Community Partnership Prize. He received the award alongside Susan B. Edelstein (UCLA TIES for Adoption), Michael Prelip (UCLA School of Public Health) and Concepcion Valadez (UCLA Graduate School of Education & Information Science). The Rosenfield Prize honors UCLA faculty and staff whose partnerships with community organizations have made a positive difference in the lives of Southern Californians. Four cash awards of $25,000 are made to recognize collaborations of UCLA and community partners that "epitomize the spirit of UCLA in LA."
McCardle's work at SJC has not only impacted the center, but the center has impacted his professional work.
After noticing that some of the center's legal expenses were handled pro bono by a prominent, local law firm, he wondered whether accountants and auditors provide similar services without charge to charitable organizations. The answer he got was "no," an answer confirmed for him by members of the accounting faculty at Anderson.
He also wondered whether or not members of his own profession – operations research and management science (OR/MS) provide no cost services to charities. The answer was "not much, and certainly not a matter of stated policy."
"I think of myself as a professional," McCardle said. "The work we do is professional work." And with that in mind, McCardle believes that he and others in operation research and management science should "behave like professionals" and do pro bono work as lawyers and physicians do.
McCardle jokes about using lawyers as examples of professional behavior, but he's serious about the issue. "Attorneys do an enormous amount of pro bono work. The law firm that serves St. Joseph Center has logged $750,000 in attorney time donated. Physicians see indigent patients for free or volunteer at places like the Venice Family Clinic."
"I believe business school faculty ought to do pro bono work, too."
To that end, McCardle penned an editorial for OR/MS Today. In it, he concluded, "by adopting the stance of professionals who take seriously their role in public life INFORMS (The Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences, the largest professional society in the world for professionals in the field of operations research) would help shake the nerdy image we currently have and show that 'the science of better' involves not just better for corporations, but better for the public good."

Reimer, Susanna Loewen Dueck (1852-1918)
Susanna Loewen Dueck Reimer: Mennonite pioneer; born on 7 October 1852 in the Molotschna Mennonite Settlement of South Russia. She was the second of three children born to Peter Loewen (1825-1887) and Susanna Enns (1824-1857). On 6 December 1870 Susanna was baptized in the Kleine Gemeinde, of which she remained a member for the rest of her life. She married Peter L. Dueck (1842-1887) on 1 January 1871 and as a young family they immigrated to Canada in 1874. They settled in Manitoba where they helped to found the village of Grünthal.
Susanna's husband Peter L. Dueck taught in the village school, farmed and also became a book seller. He also served the Kleine Gemeinde as a songleader (Vorsänger). Together, Susanna and Peter L. Dueck had eight children, of whom five daughters survived to adulthood. During their early years in Canada, three of their sons died in infancy. Peter L. Dueck became ill very suddenly in 1887 and died at the age of 44.
Despite her grief, Susanna persevered and did not lose her natural sense of optimism. When she received a proposal of marriage from an elderly widower after two years of widowhood, Susanna is reported to have told her daughters, "I believe that younger men are available. I'll wait." A little later, at the age of 37, Susanna married 19-year-old Peter R. Reimer (1870-1946). Together they had three children--two of whom survived to adulthood. In addition they raised Susanna's grandson, Peter D. Brandt, after his mother, Susanna's second daughter Anna, died in 1905. Susanna and Peter R. Reimer shared 28 years together. Susanna Reimer died on 16 April 1918.
Susanna was a courageous Mennonite pioneer woman who was able to weather the hardships and struggles of frontier life. She was an intelligent woman of faith who was able to face the ever-changing circumstances of her life with good humor and a positive outlook.

Woman injured in chimp attack blind for life
HARTFORD, Conn. - Doctors say a Connecticut woman who was nearly killed by a chimpanzee suffered such damage to her eyes that she will be blind for life.
Doctors say Charla Nash is improving, but faces two years of surgical procedures.
Nash is at Ohio's Cleveland Clinic and is listed in critical, but stable condition. She lost her hands, nose, lips and eyelids in the Feb. 16 attack in Stamford. The 200-pound chimp was kept as a pet by Nash's friend.
Doctors at the clinic say she has made significant neurological and psychological improvement andis awake and able to communicate with her family and caregivers.
Family members are talking to doctors about reconstructive surgery. Doctors say initial surgery will be focused on her facial injuries.
