Objectives We carried out a complete screening of the SCN5Agene in 38 Japanese patients with Brugada syndrome to investigate the genotype-phenotype relationship.
Background The gene SCN5Aencodes the pore-forming α-subunit of voltage-gated cardiac sodium (Na) channel, which plays an important role in heart excitation/contraction. Mutations of SCN5Ahave been identified in 15% of patients with Brugada syndrome.
Methods In 38 unrelated patients with clinically diagnosed Brugada syndrome, we screened for SCN5Agene mutations using denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography and direct sequencing, and conducted a functional assay for identified mutations using whole-cell patch-clamp in heterologous expression system.
Results Four heterozygous mutations were identified (T187I, D356N, K1578fs/52, and R1623X) in 4 of the 38 patients. All of them had bradyarrhythmic complications: three with sick sinus syndrome (SSS) and the other (D356N) with paroxysmal complete atrioventricular block. SCN5A-linked Brugada patients were associated with a higher incidence of bradyarrhythmia (4 of 4) than non–SCN5A-linked Brugada patients (2 of 34). Families with T187I and K1578fs/52 had widespread penetrance of SSS. Notably, the patient with K1578fs/52, who had been diagnosed as having familial SSS without any clinical signs of Brugada syndrome, showed a Brugada-type ST-segment elevation after intravenous administration of pilsicainide and programmed electrical stimulation-induced ventricular tachycardia. All of the mutations encoded non-functional Na channels, and thus were suggested to cause impulse propagation defect underlying bradyarrhythmias.
Conclusions Our findings suggest that loss-of-function SCN5Amutations resulting in Brugada syndrome are distinguished by profound bradyarrhythmias.
Brugada syndrome is an inherited disorder, characterized by sudden death from ventricular tachyarrhythmias especially during sleep, ST-segment elevation in the right precordial leads, and conduction slowing in the absence of structural heart disease (1,2). In approximately 15% of Brugada patients, mutations of the SCN5Agene, which encodes the pore-forming α-subunit of voltage-gated cardiac sodium (Na) channel, have been identified, and functional analyses for some of these mutations revealed a loss-of-function type modulation (3–6). Because Na current plays a key role in heart excitation/contraction, functional changes in these channels can cause a variety of cardiac phenotypes. Interestingly, mutations of SCN5Ahave been reported to generate several types of disease entities distinct from Brugada syndrome: congenital type 3 long-QT syndrome (7), idiopathic ventricular fibrillation (VF) (8), progressive cardiac conduction defect (PCCD) (9), congenital sick sinus syndrome (SSS) (10), atrial fibrillation (11), and even overlap syndrome (12,13).
In this study, we carried out a complete screening of the SCN5Agene in 38 Japanese Brugada patients to investigate the genotype-phenotype relationship.
Study subjects
This study enrolled 38 clinically diagnosed Japanese Brugada syndrome patients (all were unrelated probands). The protocol for genetic analysis was approved by the institutional ethics committee and was performed under its guidelines. All patients provided an informed consent before the genetic analysis. The diagnosis of Brugada syndrome was based on the presence of ST-segment elevation ≥2 mm in leads V1through V3at baseline or after administration of intravenous Na channel blockers (e.g., pilsicainide) (14). The presence of right ventricular cardiomyopathy was excluded by echocardiography. We defined diagnosis of SSS as having a documented sinus pause ≥3 s or chronic sinus bradycardia with a heart rate <50 beats/min.
Deoxyribonucleic acid isolation and mutation analysis
The methods of DNA isolation and mutation analysis were described elsewhere (15). Genetic screening was performed for SCN5Aby denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC) using a WAVE System Model 3500 (Transgenomic, Omaha, Nebraska).
Site-directed mutagenesis and electrophysiology
With regard to the novel SCN5Amutations we identified, site-directed mutagenesis was employed to construct mutants (15). The human cell line HEK293 was transiently transfected with either wild-type human cardiac Na channel α subunit (hH1) or mutant cDNA by the LipofectAMINE method according to the manufacturer's instructions (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, California) in combination with a bicistronic plasmid (pEGFP-IRES-hβ1) encoding enhanced green fluorescent protein and the human β1-subunit (hβ1) to visually identify cells expressing heterologous hβ1.
Sodium currents were recorded 24 to 48 h after transfection using the whole-cell patch-clamp technique and analyzed, as we previously described (15). Functional expression studies were performed on multiple independent recombinants.
Mutation analysis
Table 1shows clinical characteristics of 38 patients with Brugada syndrome enrolled in this study (35 men/3 women, 20 symptomatic/18 asymptomatic, mean age 47.4 ± 17.0 years). A total of 35 probands were already documented with Brugada-type ST-segment elevation at rest (19 symptomatic/16 asymptomatic). The others (three probands) displayed ST-segment elevation after intravenous administration of pilsicainide. Of 18 asymptomatic Brugada patients, 16 underwent programmed electrical stimulation and 15 of them displayed ventricular tachycardia (VT) or VF. Five patients were associated with SSS.
We identified four heterozygous SCN5Amutations in four unrelated patients: T187I (c559t), D356N (g1066a), K1578fs/52 (4729 aa insertion), and R1623X (c4864t). Figure 1shows the positions of identified mutations. K1578fs/52 is a frame-shift mutation resulting in early truncation of the channel protein. R1623X is a nonsense mutation that changes an arginine for a stop codon. The results of DHPLC and DNA sequencing were presented in Figure 2.Three (T187I, D356N, K1578fs/52) were novel and the other (R1623X) was reported to cause congenital SSS in combination with T220I (10). None of these mutations was found in 110 normal control individuals (220 chromosomes). Consistent with a previous report (4), the incidence of SCN5Amutations in the Brugada syndrome patients we studied was approximately 10% (4 of 38).
Clinical features
Family K-115 (T187I)
The proband, a 33-year-old man, in the family K-115 experienced syncope in his febrile state, and VF was documented. His electrocardiogram (ECG) at rest displayed a typical Brugada syndrome pattern (Fig. 3A,left). After the implantation of a cardioverter-defibrillator, he showed sinus bradyarrhythmia with occasional ventricular pacing (second beat in Fig. 3A, right), indicating the complication of SSS. His affected mother also suffered from SSS and underwent a pacemaker implantation (Fig. 4A).
Family K-54 (D356N)
The proband, a 62-year-old man, in the family K-54 had recurrent syncope at age 61. He showed a coved-type ST-segment elevation in the right precordial leads (Fig. 3B), and VF was induced when he underwent an electrophysiological study. During hospitalization, a complete atrioventricular block (AVB) was recorded when he experienced faintness. He had no family history of lethal arrhythmia or sudden cardiac death (Fig. 4B). His family members refused genetic examinations.
Family K-202 (K1578fs/52)
A 68-year-old man (III-6, Fig. 4C) who had received a pacemaker (AAI pacing) due to SSS at age 52 experienced repetitive syncope. His ECG on admission showed a severe sinus arrest because of pacemaker pacing and sensing failure. Three members of his family (III-4, III-7, and IV-1) also suffered from SSS and received a pacemaker, and one affected brother (III-2) had first-degree AVB. One of them, a younger sister (III-7) of the proband, died suddenly even after the pacemaker implantation. In order to assess the association with cardiac Na channelopathies, the proband underwent a pilsicainide challenge test. Intravenous pilsicainide (30 mg) produced a marked prolongation of the PQ interval (240 ms → 320 ms) and revealed a typical Brugada-type ST-segment elevation in the right precordial leads (Fig. 3C, upper panels). Electrophysiological study induced monomorphic VT (Fig. 3C, lower panel). Then he was diagnosed as having Brugada syndrome along with SSS and subsequently received an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator.
Family K-185 (R1623X)
The proband was a 65-year-old man who experienced recurrent syncope due to sinus arrest for >5 s at age 61 years and received a pacemaker. At age 65 years, he had faintness due to VF at night and was successfully resuscitated by electric defibrillation. His ECG showed a coved-type ST-segment elevation in the precordial leads (Fig. 3D). His family members refused an ECG and genetic analyses.
Functional analysis of SCN5AT187I, D356N, K1578fs/52, and R1623X
We performed biophysical assays for the four novel mutations using a heterologous expression system in HEK293 cells. The protocol is given schematically in Figure 5.Figure 5A illustrates representative whole-cell current traces from cells expressing wild-type (WT), T187I, D356N, K1578fs/52, or R1623X Na channels in the presence of the coexpressed hβ1. None of the mutants showed an inward Na current, indicating that all of the mutations were non-functional. Reportedly, incubation with mexiletine rescued the reduced current density of a mutant Na channel (M1766L) (16). We, therefore, incubated transfected cells in medium containing 500 μmol/l mexiletine, but failed to rescue the expression of these mutants (data not shown).
The four mutations were all heterozygous. To assess the functional interaction between WT and mutant Na channels, we coexpressed the same amount of both plasmids in combination with hβ1in HEK293 cells. Figures 5B and 5C show voltage-dependence of steady-state inactivation/activation and the peak currents. None of the mutants changed channel open probability or current densities, suggesting that the mutants have no dominant-negative effect on WT channels.
In this report, we identified four loss-of-function SCN5Amutations, T187I, D356N, K1578fs/52, and R1623X in 38 consecutive, unrelated cases of Brugada syndrome in Japan. All four probands were complicated with bradyarrhythmia, such as SSS or AVB. None of these probands had additional SCN5Amutations, suggesting that this type of "loss-of-function" overlap syndrome (Brugada syndrome plus SSS/AVB) may result from a single SCN5Amutation; SSS was documented in 5 of 38 Brugada patients (Table 1), and SCN5Amutations were found in more than half of these five patients (3 of 5), indicating that the patients with the overlap syndrome had a high probability of SCN5Amutations.
In patients with Brugada syndrome, several dozen SCN5Amutations have been reported to date, and the functional analysis of these mutations revealed a "loss-of-function" type modulation of the α-subunit of Na channels. The severity of channel dysfunction can be variable in terms of channel conductance or gating properties, depending on the types of mutation. Importantly, as shown in Figure 5A, all of the mutations that we identified in the present study were entirely non-functional, and had no dominant-negative effect on WT channels. This complete suppression of Na channel function may be associated with the profound conduction disturbance, and thus bradyarrhythmic phenotypes.
The loss-of-function type mutations of SCN5Aare reportedly responsible for not only Brugada syndrome but also PCCD (9,17,18), congenital SSS (10), and overlap syndrome (Brugada syndrome plus atrial standstill or sinus node dysfunction) (19,20), supporting the concept that Brugada syndrome and its bradyarrhythmic complications are caused by a single SCN5Amutation. The cellular mechanism for bradyarrhythmias is either a slowing of pacemaker activity or a reduction in impulse propagation. The former seems to be unlikely, because the pacemaker current in sinus nodal cells is largely regulated by calcium and potassium channels, with a minor contribution of Na channels (21,22). Sodium channels in the center of the mouse sinus node consist of tetrodotoxin-sensitive brain-type α-subunits, not tetrodotoxin-insensitive heart-type α-subunits encoded by Scn5a, a mouse homologue of SCN5A(23). In addition, however, Scn5a-coded Na channels were recently reported to play a role in sinus node pacemaking in mice (24). Meanwhile, the latter scenario may be likely; a functional defect of the Na channel can result in a reduction of impulse propagation in the vicinity of the sinus node. Indeed, Scn5a-coded Na channels were distributed in the periphery of the mouse sinus node (24), and heterozygous Scn5aknockout mice showed a prolongation of the P wave as well as the PR interval, suggesting slow conduction within the atria and atrioventricular conduction system (25). Furthermore, a failure in impulse conduction in the adjacent atrial myocardium (exit block) is one of the pathophysiological bases of human SSS (26,27).
Benson et al. (10) recently reported a young man with congenital SSS who had compound heterozygous SCN5Amutations, T220I and R1623X. Three members of his family had R1623X alone, and showed only subclinical ECG abnormality (first-degree AVB). On the other hand, our R1623X case (K-185), despite the absence of additional mutations, demonstrated more prominent phenotypes; not only SSS but also typical symptomatic Brugada syndrome with spontaneous VF episode. These apparent discrepancies in clinical features may suggest the presence of environmental or other genetic factors modifying the phenotypes.
Notably, we found a frame-shift SCN5Amutation (K1578fs/52) in a familial SSS case (K-202). Four family members, including the proband, had received a pacemaker after being diagnosed with SSS. To assess the association with Na channel dysfunction in this SSS case, we carried out a pilsicainide provocation test. A low dose of intravenous pilsicainide induced a Brugada-type elevation in ST and programmed electrical stimulation-provoked VT. This case provides an important insight into the potential overlap between SSS and Brugada syndrome. In familial SCN5A-linked SSS cases, the presence of asymptomatic Brugada syndrome may have to be taken into consideration.
In summary, our studies showed Brugada plus bradyarrhythmias (SSS/AVB) type of overlap syndrome was caused by single SCN5Amutations that result in a complete loss-of-function in cardiac Na channels. In order to reveal the cellular and molecular mechanisms by which SCN5Amutations produce a variety of phenotypes, further studies will be needed, including the establishment of animal models of cardiac Na channelopathies.

Infusion Center
Infusion Centers
HOACNY has three locations that provide infusion services. You may receive treatment at any of the three locations regardless of which office you see your physician at. There are a few exceptions where you will need to be treated where your doctor is located. The hours of operation for the infusion rooms are:
5008 Brittonfield Parkway
East Syracuse, NY 13057
Monday - Friday:
7:30 a.m. – 5:30 p.m.
Saturday and Sunday shot clinics
11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
Onondaga Hill
Community General
Hospital Campus
4900 Broad Road
Syracuse, NY 13215
Monday – Friday:
8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.
Health Central
37 West Garden Street
Suite 301
Auburn, NY 13021
Monday – Friday:
8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.
Locations and scheduling of infusion appointments:
The scheduling of appointments in the infusion room is delicately balanced to accommodate every patient's needs. Some patients may be traveling from a far distance and accommodations are made to allow for enough time for the traveler to receive their treatment. The length of the treatment patients receive varies from one patient to the next. Some patients receive treatment in as little as thirty minutes; other patients may receive their treatment up to eight hours. The patients with the longer time requirement will be given the early morning appointments. The treatments that require less time will be scheduled later in the day. During holiday weeks you may be scheduled in another HOA infusion center in effort to treat every patient. We would make certain that the distance to the alternate infusion center is reasonable. We will call you ahead of time to be certain you are aware of the change, and understand directions on how to get to the alternate location.
Patient safety and nursing care:
Patient safety in the infusion room, including handling of chemotherapy and biotherapy is a priority. Every nurse is assigned patients based on their acuity and needs. This is arranged daily by a charge RN to be certain that nurse to patient ratios are safe. Each infusion room is staffed with a Charge RN, and there are nursing leaders at each location. HOACNY is a QOPI certified practice. QOPI certification outlines the quality standards that the staff follow in our infusion rooms. There are many checks and balances in place to ensure that the patients are receiving the accurate treatment. The nurses always double check the medications with a second RN prior to administration. Every medical oncology RN at HOACNY is certified through the Oncology Nursing Society to administer chemotherapy and biotherapy. This certification is kept current and is a mandatory requirement for every RN in the practice. The RN's are also trained in safe handling of these medications through the ONS course that teaches NIOSH safety standards. These standards include the attire you will see your nurse put on before he/ she administers your medications. Every RN working in medical oncology is also required to obtain their Oncology Nursing Certification (OCN) within two years of employment. This certification ensures a baseline knowledge level of oncology nursing.
Pharmacy Services
Chemotherapy is one of the main methods of treating cancer. Your chemotherapy and treatment medications are prepared by a team of pharmacists and certified pharmacy technicians who specialize in oncology. At the time of your treatment, your medication orders are reviewed for accuracy and completeness. The medications are prepared inside a biological safety cabinet located in a sterile area of the pharmacy. Even though it may take a little more time, providing a safe experience for our patients and staff is our priority.
Visitors in the infusion rooms:
Each patient is allowed to bring preferably one visitor, or two in the infusion room. For safety reasons, children under the age of 12 will not be permitted in the infusion room. We need to keep the infusion room easily accessible to patients in the event of a patient emergency. We strive to keep the infusion room as calm and comfortable as possible. Please have your ride or visitor wait with you until we know your treatment is going to happen that day. There may be a time when you might need to have a test for your port a cath prior to use, and you will need a ride to that appointment.
Preparing for your infusion appointment:
Please start drinking plenty of water the day prior to treatment, and eat a good breakfast the morning of your infusion appointment. You can anticipate being greeted in the waiting room by an infusion nurse or clinical assistant. Your vital signs will be taken and you will be asked a series of questions to make sure you're ready to receive your infusion. You will be brought to a reclining chair in the area your nurse is working. You may have blood drawn prior to the start of your treatment.
What to expect during your treatment:
The nurse will talk to you throughout your treatment and explain each step in your therapy, also what you may experience. You are able to get up and walkaround with your IV pole during your therapy. We have beverages and snacks available. We also have a refrigerator and microwave if you are here for a time frame in which you would like to bring a snack or lunch. You can bring electronic devices, and there is a television in most patient infusion spaces. We provide warm blankets and pillows. We want you to be as comfortable as
possible, so please let us know ahead of time what accommodations you may require. Please make certain you leave with your next appointment in place, and if you have no future appointments arranged, please let your nurse know and he/she will help you with your future schedule.

If there's one superhero franchise I'm a sucker for, it's the X-Men. Yeah I know I said last week I was looking more forward to Godzilla, but trust me, X-Men are a close second. If I'm being totally honest, the X-Men are probably my favorite superhero franchise to get a movie. I love Wolverine, and Jean Gray and Emma Frost and Colossus and Storm and Nightcrawler and Xavier and Angel and Iceman and Blink and Pyro and Kitty Pryde/Shadowcat/Sprite/whatever the hell she's calling herself now. I love the concept and the style and the stories and the characters. I love it when it's weird and I love it when it's normal and I love it when it's political and I love it when it's stupid; I love everything about it. Hell, I even love Cyclops, at least when he's well written.
And for the most part, it's been really easy to be a fan of the X-Men when it comes to films. X2 and First Class are both straight up classics, and X-Men and The Wolverine are both solidly entertaining superhero flicks. But, on the downside the bad X-Men movies are REALLY bad. X3 probably holds the record for the most disappointed by a movie I've ever been and memories of Origins make me want to drink. So hopes were high but expectations were low for this latest installment.
And it all turned out okay. X-Men: Days of Future Past may not hit the lofty heights of X2 or First Class, but it's still a damned fine little action movie. It's well paced, got some great action scenes, the cast is still first rate and while the script and story can be a little comic booky (if that makes any sense) it's still a workable story. And outside the two great movies (X2 and First Class) it's probably the best of the series.
The plot is adapted from the famous…cover of the same name. Okay yeah, it's technically a full comic, but really it's most famous for its cover. Anyway, at some point in the future, the world has gone all Terminator due to super advanced mutant hunting robots called Sentinels wandering around killing all mutants…and all mutant sympathizers…and people who might one day have mutant kids, they're really not very discriminating. Anyway it turns out that all of this can be traced back to Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence) killing the Sentinel's creator Bolivar Trask (Peter Dinklage) which just set the stage for the program to come back worse.
So future Xavier and Magneto (Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen) decide that the best way to solve it is time travel (hey, it's how I solve most of my problems). They decide to have Kitty Pryde (Ellen Page) send Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) back into the body of his younger self to unite younger Xavier and Magneto (James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender) to stop Mystique and the war before it starts. Oh and no, they don't explain how Kitty can send people back in time, so stop asking.
I mentioned the top notch cast and I stand by it. Basically the entire cast has been in Oscar nominated movies or been nominated/won themselves…well except Dinklage, but he won an Emmy, so close enough. Stewart, McKellen, and Jackman have been playing their characters longer than almost any other superhero actors and they know how to do it better than anyone. McAvoy gives a really interesting and dark take on Xavier and Fassbender brings his A-game from minute one, despite supposedly not wanting to return.
On the new character side of things, Dinklage is a great actor and while he doesn't get a lot of screen time, he does a pretty solid job with the time he has (now let's see him in more movies). Evan Peters only gets limited time as Quicksilver as well, but he is easily one of the most memorable parts of the movie (more on that in a moment). In fact, if there's a letdown in the cast, it's everyone's favorite overexposed actress, Jennifer Lawrence. I don't know if it's because she very vocally didn't want to be there or because the femme fatale doesn't fit on her, but she is pretty dull in this, especially when you consider how good the original actress was in the role.
The other major draw from the film is the action scenes, and it might have some of the best action sequences of the summer (can't say yet, the bar keeps getting raised). Quicksilver might only have been included as part of Fox's pissing contest with Disney, but I'm glad he is as his action scene is one of the highlights of the movie. Sure it's basically just bullet time, but it's uniquely and cleverly used. Other scenes, such as Magneto's big final plan or the first big dust up with the future Sentinels are inventive and exciting. It's also nice to see the franchise getting out of its original boxes and getting some new abilities to play around with, like Bishop's gun or Blink's teleportation (which, outside of Quicksilver's action beat, is probably the best used ability in the movie).
But, if I'm being honest, the thing I like best about it is that of the X-Men films featuring Wolverine, it's probably the least concerned with Wolverine. Oh he's in it a lot and he drives a lot of the plot, but it's not his story. The main focus of the story is Xavier and his arc, and while I do love Wolverine, it's nice to see him finally manage to take backseat to other characters.
Despite all that, it's not perfect. The story is, as I said, is a little on the comic booky side, which means light on explanation. Nicholas Hoult's Beast seems absolutely vital to the plot but weirdly never seems to do very much. The future finale gets a little repetitive at times and there isn't a lot of time to give the future characters much characterization. And having the vast majority of the characters from First Class get killed offscreen does seem a tiny bit…petty?
The plot as a whole might be one of the biggest mulligans in movie history, but you know what? If this mulligan can erase X3 and Origins from the franchise, then it can't be bad. And Days of Future Past isn't bad, it's quite good and at points it even approaches great. It's not perfect X-Men, but it's damn, damn, DAMN good X-Men. And if you're a fan of the comics, its hard not to come away from the post credits scene feeling pumped for future installments. So Days of Future Past comes away with a pretty enthusiastic recommendation. I liked it, and if you liked any of the previous films, you might too.
Elessar is a 24 year old Alaskan born cinephile and he'd like to thank Fox for continually convincing Hugh Jackman to show his ass.
– great action scenes
– good acting
– story is imaginative
– they don't explain a lot
– the future action scenes can get reptitive
– Jennifer Lawrence is pretty bad

I'm intrigued by the Toasted coffee/caramel woven watch band for Apple Watch Series 2. Is it designed to have a feminine look?
- Asked by Michael V from Danville
- Asked about: 38mm Woven Nylon
1 Answer from the Community
No...it just looks brown in person. All of the nylon bands look better in person than online, and I think it's actually a little bit more masculine if I had to pick.

Secure Channels Process Hardened Encryption and Resource Environment
With all of the recent cyber leaks, account breaches, unauthorized disclosures, and the like it would be fair to say that present data security not only is failing but has failed and that it doesn't seem to matter what type of intrusion protection or security a system has. Eventually, as proven in the news, someone is going to get to the data in a manner that is unauthorized or illegal or just simply unwarranted or any combination thereof. The question has to be asked: "Is the data worth protecting and if so then how can it be done?"
There are a multitude of answers out there: Build a fortress around the physical data storage Encrypt the data with FIPS compliant standards Make the data unreachable from the outside Ensure that the people with access are authorized The problem with these solutions is that they have all been tried and all have failed. The case of Edward Snowden is a classic example of this. Here is data stored in the U.S.A.'s National Security Agency (NSA) so we know it was physically surrounded with a "fortress". It was (or should have been) encrypted with modern standards. The data was for internal use only so there were no external breaches. Mr. Snowden was authorized to access the data. All of this and he still stole classified data and was able to release it to the detriment of the U.S. If all possible solutions were tried and applied and yet still breached then is there a workable solution?The short answer is yes: SPHERE. The long answer is the following explanation of the philosophy behind SPHERE; it's implementation; and usage patterns.
As the title of this paper stated – SPHERE stands for Secure Channels Process Hardened Encryption and Resource Environment. That might seem to be quite the verbiage but it is very specific and descriptive. Let's tear it apart and examine each piece.
Secure Channels is a company born out of necessity discovered while working with large enterprise customers and attempting to make, keep, and maintain their data integrity and security. The genesis for Secure Channels started in the early 90's when one of its co-founders designed a copy-protection scheme for floppy discs that is still in use today. As the decade and century closed they also got deeply involved in cryptography with a world class software company. As time went on it would seem that a certain destiny was converging as Secure Channels other 2 co-founders were also involved in cryptography but from other angles. A chance meeting in Europe led to these two meeting and a partnership/friendship formed out of a common interest to find a way to use cryptography for the betterment of corporate data. Another chance meeting years later in Europe led to the introduction of the first person discussed into this alliance. Over time all three separately converged on the idea of deep data security and so formed Secure Channels.
One of the driving forces was the PKMS2 (Pattern Key, Multi Strength, Multi Segment) process being patented. Once this patent was done then all of a sudden Secure Channels had in its grasp the means it was waiting for: the ability and means to secure data via encryption that would render the data, for all intents and purposes, unbreakable. So here was a means to secure data in a data center but the world was changing and becoming far more mobile. PKMS2's depth of security requires computing power that usually is not available on a mobile platform. What was needed was a similar technique that would work on mobile platforms. Fortunately, one of the early enterprise contract required mobile platform usage so another process was already in development. This new technique was born in the mobile world and thus was able to provide a similarly high level of security on mobile platforms. This new technique is called SHEILD for "Secure Channels Hardened Intentional Encryption for Lesser Devices".
By using variable length (technically unlimited in size) passwords from selected encryption algorithms AES, TwoFish, PGP, etc., and keys based on the Public Key Infrastructure (aka PKI) it is possible to encrypt the data as to make it unbreakable without knowing how it was encrypted. What PKMS2 does in short, is encrypt the data in segments with each segment's length determined by the password or key to be used for that segment. The keys are selected based on a pattern given and used in a round-robin fashion until all the data is encrypted. To ensure deeper security the initial data can be encrypted in its entirety and the final encrypted data can also be encrypted in its entirety. By segmenting the data; using 'n' keys/passwords, using a pattern to run through the keys PKMS2 renders the data virtually unbreakable. The only way to break the data is to know ALL the keys/passwords used; the pattern used to run through the keys; and whether or not initial and/or final encryption was done. Simply attacking the data cannot break it as there is no way to know when a segment is decrypted.
Like was mentioned earlier SHIELD is not fully covered via patent so details here will be shallow. SHEILD focuses on symmetric keys and thus can be quick on mobile platforms. SHIELD uses multiple proprietary mathematical filters to encrypt the data. In addition to over 350 mathematical patterns available SHIELD can also use industry standard patterns like AES256. The speed of SHIELD is such that 21 filters can be applied to a 165K data file, using keys no less than 64K, in less than 1 second. It is this speed that allows SHIELD to be used on and in mobile scenarios. So with PKMS2 patented and SHIELD about to be patented Secure Channels needed to draw all of its work together under one platform and thus SPHERE was developed.
What is needed to resolve a number of security issues is not to physically surround the data center but to digitally surround the data. SPHERE's design is one of wrapping the data in such a way as to make the data utterly useless without full knowledge of a number of factors. In the past digital data security has relied solely on the encryption patterns and key. If the pattern is known and the key is known then the security of the data is zero. Where SPHERE is different is that it wraps layered processes around the data in such a way that it takes Knowledge of the manner in which the layers were applied; Knowledge of the standard and proprietary encryption patterns; Knowledge of all of the keys used; Knowledge of the pattern by which the keys were applied; Knowledge of the customer defined 'uniqueness' of the processing The data resource is wrapped or enveloped in such a way that it creates an incalculable combination of possibilities to decrypt and thus renders the data virtually unbreakable.
Secure Channels, through acquisition, has acquired a fully functional cloud based OS like platform that is fully MFA based and exposed via REST and WS-* API. This platform was designed to run fully standalone in the cloud but also branched to run privately in a corporate data center. This platform is the basis for SPHERE. Due to the flexibility of SPHERE an entire scripting language was developed to drive the encryption process. These scripts can be completely unique per customer. Each encryption function is fully standalone and thus each script can be uniquely created in almost an unlimited pattern. One customer might encrypt their data with a script that specifies functions A,B,C whereas another customer might specify the same functions but in B,A,C order. This flexibility adds immeasurable depth to the security of the data. One customer might use pictures for passwords whilst another might use Japanese phrases. Since SPHERE has no limit to the number of functions; number of keys/passwords; no limit to the size of said keys/passwords then the ability to encrypt data to an unbreakable level is strictly under customer control. With the depth of PKMS2, the speed of SHIELD, Secure Channels finds that it can deploy its security systems into enterprise data centers; PC workstations; or mobile devices. The sky truly is the limit since SPHERE is about enabling the customer to secure and encrypt THEIR data THEIR way and under THEIR control.
The question was asked earlier "Is the data worth protecting and if so then how can it be done?" Secure Channels has developed SPHERE such that the answer to the question is a resounding yes. As has been seen in the news we can assume data will be stolen but by applying SPHERE to the data the data itself becomes meaningless outside of a SPHERE enabled system.

'Finishing as strong as we did is pleasing' - John O'Shea rues 'fortunate' Serbian goals
John O'Shea was left with mixed feelings after the Republic of Ireland launched their World Cup qualifying campaign with a battling point.
The 35-year-old played his part in an eventful 2-2 draw in Serbia in which the Republic had to come from behind to ensure they did not leave Belgrade empty-handed.
However, while there was little doubt that the hosts deserved at least a point, the manner in which they ultimately achieved it left a sour taste for O'Shea after he saw Filip Kostic benefit from a fortuitous deflection to level before winning a controversial penalty at the expense of Jonathan Walters.
The Sunderland defender said: "He's clever, he's bought it. He's got on the inside - I just literally saw a replay a second ago - and he's gone down without any contact.
"Look, he's got on the wrong side of Jonny, so he knows the referee too is kind of blinded by his angle. What he sees, it's more than likely you're going to give a penalty for it. Unfortunately if he has a better angle, he's not going to give it.
"They were quite fortunate how they got the equaliser. Myself and Tadic, we didn't know where the ball was and it just bounced off his knee or his heel and fell right to the lad's foot, so they were very fortunate to get back in it in that sense."
That said, O'Shea admitted the Republic had to take the positives from a testing night at the Rajko Mitic Stadium.
They led after just three minutes when Jeff Hendrick got them off to a dream start with his first senior international goal, but they needed Daryl Murphy, winning his 24th cap as a substitute, to finally break his own duck 10 minutes from time to claim a draw.
O'Shea said: "Look, when you do go 2-1 down away from home in a World Cup qualifier and you finish as strongly as we did, that's definitely pleasing, and the other pleasing thing is the impact of the players who came on.
"Stephen Quinn and Daryl Murphy had a big impact. They were vital in there, obviously Murph with the goal, but Quinner was everywhere when he came on.
"He popped up, he was getting on the ball, getting us playing again and that was crucial."
Manager Martin O'Neill took something of a gamble when he named O'Shea, who had not played since August 21 because of a hip problem, and skipper Seamus Coleman, yet to appear for Everton this season after nursing an ankle injury, in his starting line-up.
However, both men got through the full 90 minutes and showed no ill-effects.
O'Shea said: "I was just chatting with Seamus there afterwards. It's amazing, you're worrying if you will get through the 90, but thankfully we did. It was one of those, we are going to benefit from the game massively."

(KUSA) At Shooters Grill in Rifle, Colorado you can decide whether your freshly made cherry pie comes with ice cream, but you have no choice on who delivers it: An armed waitress.
All nine of the servers at the restaurant pack heat as they shuttle plates of food to diners, from Glock semi-automatics to Ashlee Saenz's thigh-length Rueger Blackhawk .357 six-shooter. On the wall, posted alongside copies of the Declaration of Independence and Bill of Rights, is a sign declaring that those inside are still "proudly clinging to my guns and Bible."
Owner Lauren Boebert, 27, says she didn't start out to make a statement when she began carrying a pistol on her hip a month after opening Shooters a year ago. But through the months, her other waitresses thought it was kind of fun and they, too, started carrying.
"We don't worship guns. We worship Jesus," said Boebert, a 27-year-old mother of four whose husband works in the oil industry. "We're here to serve people."

Each Monday, Morning Cup of Style will feature everyday women that reflect female empowerment, beauty and strength. It's not easy being a woman, so why not celebrate the "fab" of it all? For this feature, we'll ask the exact same question and let women tell it all. Straight from the heart. That simple.
MCOS: What makes you so FAB?
Fanning: There are so many things that make me a fabulous person. I'm tough. At the same time, I'm also a sensitive girl. I don't laugh much. If I feel sad, then I would cry for sure. I'm lazy, but I enjoy work (smile).
I try to maintain an optimistic attitude about life, accepting that life has ups and downs and never goes as desired.
I was born in Taiwan and live in Munich. It took a lot to adapt to the German culture. It wasn't easy in the beginning, but now I enjoy my life here. My personality shows more and more. I finally have the courage to present who I am! That's what it's all about, right? I speak Chinese, some English, German and Cantonese. I rock a short cut with half of my hair shaved. My shoes and purses are in immaculate condition. I'm a photographer and fashion blogger, so you'll always catch me holding a camera! This is my life.

First look: iPhone OS loses beta feel with 2.1 update – Ars Technica
While disappointed doesn't cover how I feel about no iTablet, I agree with Ars Technica: iPhone OS 2.1 feels like the real thing. It's featureful, polished, and fast.
Even the very beta iPhone OS 1.0 was a revolutionary leap forward with its key interface elements: Multi-touch, motion sensors, and look-and-feel. I can't emphasize the last item enough. Apple figured out how to make a powerful, intuitive interface fit the form factor, something other phone manufacturers couldn't do in a decade. The small interface tweaks in 2.1 demonstrate how to pack information in a tiny space without feeling cramped.
I'm even tempted by the new Touch (another tick in the anti-iPhone column) with key features like a volume rocker, wired remote control capability, microphone, and internal speaker. (As D. said, "iTouch Skype, anyone?") It's not quite an iTablet, but it has enough new features to tempt me to pick up a 32MB unit. AND I can do it on the online store, something I still can't do with an iPhone!
Anybody want to buy my old iPod Touch?

Half-Life 2 several years ago. Unfortunately, a large number of 2011 players are reporting the same issues with the PC version of Human Revolution, rife with freezing and falling frames per second - and the problem is striking high-end rigs as well.
The most stuttering seems to be occuring when roaming outdoors, when using a scope to zoom in on targets, and sprinting. Users have been posting YouTube videos to illustrate their problems, as seen in this particular video.
Making matters worse is that gamers can't jury rig their own solution while waiting for a proper patch. One user on Steam posted: "I have confirmed I have the newest Nvidia drivers, reset all the nv settings to the default, confirmed all drivers are up to date, updated BIOS, removed Nvidia 3D vision, messed with every level of settings in the game, enabled/disabled DX11, turned VSYNC on and off, changed the thread priority for the DXHR executable, prayed to the gods to make this game work so I can finally play it. No dice at all. I do not have issues with stuff like Crysis, Fear 3, etc etc."
Eidos posted that they were hard at work on a third patch, stating: "As you are probably aware we have already rolled out two patches soon after release to deal with issues we wanted to address as quickly as possible, after we found out that they existed. We are now looking at additional fixes for issues that some players have been experiencing, and on top of that we are also looking at adding some additional features on the PC side that we noticed some players would really like to see. These additions are more involved as the first patches, and due to this take longer as those initial patches. We need to test them carefully to ensure we do not introduce any new issues."
These additions are more involved as the first patches, and due to this take longer as those initial patches. We need to test them carefully to ensure we do not introduce any new issues."
Much of the frustration stems from the perception of Deus Ex: Human Revolution not being built for PCs from the ground up, and being a mere console port.
Let us know if you've experienced serious frame rate or stuttering issues with Deus Ex: Human Revolution on the PC.

I've had two of these beastly flying tanks sitting in my collection for quite a long time and in a rare leap of logic, I decided that while working on the very black Ravenwing it made sense to paint a very black Death Company Stormraven.
I'm pretty happy with how it came out. It's certainly a fairly imposing sight, a fairly large kit and I do worry that it will topple off that flying stand at some point and crush whatever unfortunate minis are placed below!
All of this excitement painting flyers is making me pine for a Thunderhawk kit to play with... but a plastic Thunderhawk please, resin seems like way too much work. I can't even imagine the psychosis required to build one of those things when it was made in metal.
Anyhow, there's not too many interesting things to say about the Stormraven as it's mostly done with the same techniques as on the Ravenwing. It has all the different turret and nose weapon options for versatility.
I'll be painting the other Stormraven in the tradition Blood Angels colours. I may get going on it tomorrow.
You can vote for this one at CMoN.

A former TD has described how the tragic events at Buncrana unfolded last night as "devastating".
Former Sinn Fein TD Pádraig Mac Lochlainn said he got down to scene last night about 45 minutes after the accident happened.
"I was hoping it was training exercise with all of the emergency services on the scene but it soon became clear that something very tragic was happening."
Speaking on Morning Ireland, Mr Mac Lochlainn said it was apparent as soon you got close to the seafront that "a major operation was underway. It was a full scale rescue operation. As people gathered was it became clear, it was obvious it was a recovery operation."
He said that Buncrana and South Inishowen have "experienced their fair share of tragedy over the years".
"The area has seen a horrible number of road traffic accidents over the years.
"Poignantly some of the parents who lost their loved ones in previous tragedies in the area were there last night. I suppose they have been through this already and they wanted to be there in a sense of solidarity."
He said the area was "numb with grief this morning.
"Last night at the pier, you are hearing reports of how many people have died and you are hoping against hope that it's wrong. There was no official confirmation at the early stages.
"As the hours moved on, it became clear how serious a tragedy it was.
"It is particularly tragic when children are involved. It was a lovely day yesterday and a family probably just went on a day out to enjoy the day and it ended so tragically."
He said his understanding was that the incident was a "tragic accident".

New Dawn Combine's Last & Present Days
I had intended this for The Grand Original Map Contest, but I didn't get it done in time. Ah well. Just because I missed a deadline doesn't mean all of these electrons have to go to waste.
What Happened to the New Dawn Combine?
Two generations ago, the New Dawn Combine on Cygnus III thrived as a center for innovation in sector heavy weapons technologies. Lynley, the company town built around NDC labs and offices, provided workers, executives, researchers, and their families with every modern convenience. Life was good.
But nothing lasts forever.
A massive solar storm overwhelmed Cygnus's magnetic field, disrupting electronics throughout Lynley. This was the time the Freedom Fellowship struck a blow for the proletariat. Mobs well armed but ill organized rampaged through the streets while the Fellowship's elite assaulted key arsenals. The revolutionary violence climaxed when someone — to this day, historians debate whom to blame — launched a multiple independently targetable reentry vehicle armed with payload of chemical weaponry. Thousands died within minutes, and even more sickened and expired over the next few days. Much of Lynley burned as fires raged out of control as first responders were overwhelmed by the number of emergencies.
Planetary government moved in much too late. By the time military personnel and disaster management teams arrived, Lynley was a city fit only for the dead. Sporadic violence near the city limits lasted for a few more days, and then the government declared Lynley and the surrounding area in a 50-mile radius to be a quarantine zone (or QZ for short). No one and nothing is allowed in or out of the zone.
But life finds a way.
A handful of Freedom Fellowship radicals survived and declared the revolution a success. They consolidated control over limited food and potable water resources, and then put out the call to other survivors to enjoy the Fellowship's largesse. Little by little, a semblance of normalcy returned to Lynley. A handful of buildings were reclaimed and turned into the communal areas with the Fellowship's leaders determining individuals' needs and commensurate allowances of living space, food, and water.
Little could be done, however, about the toxic effects of the chemical weaponry that had decimated Lynley. The ground was poisoned, and the water cycle became a means which toxins entered plants and animals. Fellowship workers documented the first evidence of mutations in water plants, fish, and amphibians. The high incidence of miscarriages and birth defects in the human population added a new level of dread to life in Lynley.
Today, the QZ is a wild area of twisted vegetation, mutated animals, and ruined buildings. Most of the vegetation is at least slightly toxic, and most of the mutated animals are merely grotesque. Some, however, are dangerous, especially the predatory chemical worms. The QZ's easiest access points are protected by sensors, automated guns, and platoons of soldiers. Armed drones patrol more difficult areas. Entering the QZ without proper authorization is difficult. Getting back out after entering illegally is even harder, and failing exist undetected is likely to end in a violent death.
These risks don't stop adventurous black marketeers from violating the QZ in hopes of finding hidden caches of weapons and other military-grade tech. The New Dawn Combine had numerous facilities prior to the revolution, and this included arsenals protected by underground bunkers. Illegal military tech isn't easy to come by, and the profits can be substantial.
Of course, once in the QZ, there are more problems facing looters than the return trip. Trespassers must also contend with the Fellows, as the residents of the QZ now call themselves.
Society of Fellows
The new social order forged by the Freedom Fellowship has produced a conformist, deranged community. The Fellows have ritualized protocols put into place to ensure survival in a toxic environment. Chief among these protocols are the use of protective masks and the inviolability of New Dawn Combine bunkers.
Protective Masks
Use of protective masks is not necessary in most areas of the QZ. Certain underground areas may still contain toxic levels of airborne chemicals, but, overall, air quality in the QZ is adequate, if not better than in many urban areas. Nevertheless, no Fellow will permit himself to be seen in public without his protective mask. The taboo against this is analogous to a combination of prohibitions against public lewdness and spitting in people's faces. Many Fellows refuse to go maskless in private much of the time. Forcibly unmasking a Fellow is akin to assault, and Fellows react negatively to those who go maskless in public.
Fellows believe that sealed bunkers must remain sealed. If the contents of these bunkers were vital, the founders of Fellow society would have unsealed them. Since they did not, it stands to reason that the contents must be such that it is in society's best interest for them to remain undisturbed. The bunkers have acquired an almost mystical quality in Fellow society. They are taboo territory, and would-be trespassers must be dealt with in the most pointed manner possible.
The Bunker Tower
A militarized clan of Fellows live on and around this pre-revolution military bunker in a collection of sturdy buildings organized in an efficient grid pattern. The Fellows build most of these structures from the ruins of other buildings, carting brick, concrete, wood, et cetera from other locations. The clan maintains a high degree of alertness not only due to the bunker's sacred proximity, but also because of the large number of predatory chemical worms in the area.
1. Superstructure: While the exterior of the superstructure shows signs of damage from the elements and battle, it remains solid and sealed tight. Inside the single-storey building are offices for administrative and security personnel, all long abandoned in haste. A cargo elevator leads down to the caves beneath the superstructure.
2. Munitions: This section of the caves was converted for munitions storage. Duraflex walls and ceilings form storage units in four rows. This particular facility stores mag pistols, mag rifles, ammunition, repair kits, and other firearms accessories. It also has a cache of grenades of various types.
3. Flooded Cave: The chemical pond's high acid content eroded a narrow but passable tunnel through surfrace strata into the caves, flooding the lowest lying areas in the process. Chemical reactions have turned the air through the cave system into a toxic haze. The water itself is highly corrosive, and predatory chemical worms thrive in this environment.
4. Chemical Pond: A bomb crater to the rear of the superstructure has long since filled with water, and deadly toxins and acids in the soil have turned the resulting pond into a highly corrosive pool ideal for predatory chemical worms. During infrequent dry spells, much of the pond evaporates, leaving a thick, poisonous sludge.
Chemical Worm (for Stars Without Number):
Armor Class: 7
Hit Dice: 1
Attack Bonus: +2
Damage: 1d4 bite
No. Appearing: 10-40
Saving Throw: 15+
Movement: 15 ft., swim 15 ft.
Morale: 8
Chemical worms grow to about the length of a man, reaching a thickness approximate to a man's thigh. They are sandy brown in color with bloodred heads and a quadripartite jaw sporting vicious fangs. They are invulnerable to almost all poisons and acids, and they can survive in anerobic environments for long periods of time. In addition to its bite, a chemical worm can spray a scalding fluid at its prey. The spray is produced by a reaction between two chemical compounds, hydroquinone and hydrogen peroxide, stored in separate reservoirs in the worm's throat, and then mixed when needed in a third chamber with water and catalytic enzymes. Heat from the reaction brings the mixture to near the boiling point of water and produces gas that drives the ejection. The chemical worm's spray inflicts 1d8 points of damage in a 15-foot wide fan.

Oil investments remain strong despite global downturn
Despite the facts that pessimistic economic data has flooded the commodities market from every corner of the globe and several prolific nations are rallying in order to prevent a second recession from hitting the developed world, crude oil futures and oil investments continue to hold their increasingly shaky ground. Brent crude oil prices, the recognized European benchmark are holding strong above the $100 threshold, and showing no signs of dipping below for the time being. Experienced investors have to be wondering what propels the commodity oil to remain so stable after displaying a year's worth of high volatility on the commodity index. After all, crude oil futures hit a year low level less than a month ago, bringing oil investments to a standstill.
Though prices rallied majorly late last week after Europe's summit, they tapered off somewhat once the first dust settled, as traders expressed doubts over the longevity and viability of the region's debt resolution strategies. Japan's industrial woes also negatively affected the commodities market.
U.S. crude oil prices settled at $93.32 per barrel in New York by the end of the trading session, down 64 cents. Brent crude oil futures lost a considerable $2.17 per barrel to settle at $109.91 per barrel in London. The commodity futures were supported by an optimistic economic outlook in the U.S. Less than a week before this, crude oil prices hit their highest marks in more than three months on the strength of China's massive expansion plans.
Yet overall, the state of health of global economy remains highly unfavourable for a prolonged bull run for oil investments. Libya is currently readying its full-scale return to the sector, while the production rates in Iraq are soaring at an alarming pace.
Featured Oil Investments Snapshot Video
Nevertheless, Brent crude oil futures have been confidently holding above $100, going as far as circling the $110 mark. Such resilience does not make logical sense, since no amount of positive news from separate sources can make up for the fact that the world as a whole is teetering on the verge of another recession.
The oil commodity futures and oil investments have been bolstered by the fact that several key suppliers of OPEC are out of play due to political unrest. Unusually low stockpile reports from the U.S. have also propelled crude oil up the charts.
The oil commodity seems to be at a crossroads given the fact that it is still rather unclear how effective Europe's debt resolution measures will prove to be. With both U.S. and Brent crude oil prices still unable to comfortably breach points of resistance on the commodity index, it is clear enough that victory is far too early to declare for the commodity oil.

TAXI passengers in West Lothian are to see their fares increase after a new pricing structure was agreed by the council.
From October 22, the initial cost of booking a taxi will go up by 40p – to £2.60 on weekday mornings and daytimes, and £3 for evenings, through the night and on weekends. Cancellation fees will also rise to £2.60.
But peak rate for Christmas and New Year will fall by 50p to £3.90 for the initial hire, with the cost for travelling 240 yards or waiting for 43 seconds reduced from 40p to 30p.
A West Lothian Council spokesperson said: "Taxi fares haven't changed in West Lothian since 2008, and it's important they remain fair to both the public and taxi industry.
"These changes were implemented after consultation with the taxi industry, and no objections or comments were received when the proposals were advertised."

If yes, then what about the sex appeal? Don't you think that the guy you are dating and planning a long term relationship needs to have sex appeal and his body should arouse you in some sense at the very least?
Most Helpful Girl
I've never had a problem with hairy men. I've been with a very hairy man, but hair, back hair you name it, he had it. I found his body incredibly sexually appealing and never had an issue with kissing, touching etc any part of his body lol.10|10|0
How is that possible to be OK and infact say you found it sexually appealing when the guy had such a really hairy body?
I can't see the appeal, infact it looks so shabby and creepy, I have it all just like you describe.
- Show AllShow Less
Am glad some of you normal people are ready to overlook and accept this flaw given other things work out well :) I don't know maybe if I was a girl I doubt I would have been cool with a really hairy guy, lol. I would have only dated naturally less hairy , less gross no stubble and nice :p
And wow he was shirtless in public, I appreciate him for being so daring. All natural? Or trimmed it short and thinned it before exposing in resort?
Neither he nor YOU were ashamed and embarrassed about those hairs? How?
Noo stubble is very attractive!
Haha nope, he doesn't trim or groom body hair other than shaving. He forgot his stuff at home and his facial hair grew while we were there so he mentioned a couple times feeling like he looked "like a bum" but it's really just about confidence.
I'm not obsessed with hairy men, it's not like I seek them out- if a man I like is hairy that's cool! If he's naturally a little less hairy, that's great too! Because it's not their body hair that tells me if he's going to treat me well, stay faithful, be fun and loving etc. It just tells me he has a hairy body.
Most people are so hung up on their own insecurities that they hardly see what's going on with others. So why would he or I care if some stranger didn't like his hair when I'm waiting to get him alone to love on him?

After the tragedy involving Miriam Carey and her attempt to ram into the White House and Capitol, there has been speculation (fueled by her mother saying it) that she suffered from PPD. It's more likely, given the limited facts we have, that she suffered from postpartum psychosis, not unlike Cynthia Wachenheim, a New York city mother who jumped from her 8th floor window while holding her 10-month-old boy. The Washington Post used the tragedy as a chance to remind readers to be on the lookout for new mothers acting outside their normal personality.
Friend of PSMd (and founder of Postpartum Support DC) Lynne McIntyre is the quoted expert in the article.

Continuing Your Education to Advance Your Career
Sometimes, attending school isn't as simple as choosing a program and coming to campus five times a week for eight hours at a time. Sometimes, life gets in the way with jobs, other responsibilities, family duties, lack of money, a low GPA from high school and other such issues affecting your ability to obtain a full-time education. However, for those who are determined to advance their post-secondary credentials, continuing education is the best option. This route is created with flexibility in mind. It allows students a number of ways to obtain their education. For example, students can attend classes on-campus during the evenings and weekends or they can take their program entirely online.
With 160 continuing education program options, Centennial College's School of Continuing Education is a reliable choice that guarantees you graduate with a credential that will not only advance your career but is also well known in the field. These programs are offered at Centennial College's four centrally-located — Ashtonbee, Progress, Morningside and the Centre for Creative Communications. In addition, each campus houses specific Schools of study so that you are able to mingle and network with other students in your field. Studying on-campus offers features such as fully-equipped facilities, a classroom setting, group projects, labs, presentations and more.
If, however, travelling to campus is not an option for you, Centennial College offers another continuing education option. Known as Distance Learning, it is facilitated online through instructor-led study enabling students to work through course material and assignments in their own time and space, with 24-hour access to the online classroom. Online course delivery saves travel time, while still enjoying similar in-person benefits of a physical classroom such as: a qualified and industry-experienced instructor, communication tools, discussion boards and forums, a sense of email access with your classmates, digital assignment capability, and more.
All programs facilitated through the continuing education school have their own prerequisites and it's best to check each individual program's page to ensure that you have the necessary requirements to apply. It should also be noted that within certain programs there might be qualification requirements and costs for external accreditations, designations, certifications or recognitions. These are set by the granting bodies and not by Centennial College. In order to qualify for any of those external accreditations, designations, certification or recognition, students and graduates will need to follow the processes and meet the applicable requirements listed on the websites and materials of those external bodies. You'll be able to find more information when you apply online for the Continuing Education program of your choice. So just what types of programs are offered? Areas of study include: accounting, business, computer and information technology, early childhood education, fitness, media and design, health studies, and much more.
With nearly 22,000 learners each year in 160 programs that feature more than 1,200 courses and have a 97 per cent learner satisfaction, it is clear that Centennial College has a proud continuing education reputation.

|Unable are the loved to die. For love is immortality.
This memorial website was created in the memory of our beloved father William LeCompte, 73, born on April 29, 1938 and passed away on March 29, 2012. Please share your memories of him so we will have them forever.
"Bill never wanted to make a "fuss" on his birthday. We celebrated many of his birthdays with just a birthday cake at home. He was a very private person with a great subtle sense of humor. He always liked new cars. He was a good father to David and Carrie."
"Bill was a good father. Evidenced by the lives of his son and daughter. I am very proud to be their mother."
"William is my cousin and I always enjoyed talking to him he was a very special person and I know that he will be missed very much by family and friends"
"Bill and I were Patternmaker apprentices together from 59-63. When the apprentice instructor was having a bad day, he would come over to Bill and me and threaten to fire us for some rediculous reason. Later Bill would comensurate with me and say the happyest time of his life was back on the farm shoveling cow manure. However I didn't have a farm to return to. I'll miss our talks."
"William, My one and only brother.What a sad day it was when I learned you had left me behind. So sorry I could not be there to tell you goodbye. My heart is broken and sad. I will miss you and will share with your children and grandchildren memories of our days of just being children in the country. Love you,Barbara"
"I enjoyed so much our dance group. Bill and I were members of the executive board which started single dances in this area. People still talk about how great those dances were. Bill was a good person. Marcie Hagge"
"I met Bill on a double blind date in September, 1962, when I entered nursing school. I actually asked him to marry me when I was on affiliation in Washington, D.C. He proposed to me in my grandmother's driveway. I was so proud of the beautiful diamond ring he gave me.
I loved him and will always respect him as a great father and grandfather."
"Bill, I still remember your first night at Divorce Support, thank God for Ray! We traveled down a lot of roads in search of someone new to dance with. We sure met some interesting people along the way. I'll miss your humor and political views. I will miss you at the gun shows, and Cabela's. I always knew you had my back when we got into trouble."
"Daddy, you were the best father I could ask for. You had a great sense of humor and you left a big impression on everyone that knew you. I thank you for the sense of peace and comfort that you brought me, from your support and your love. I will make sure that you live on through memories and stories that I will share with family, friends, and future generations to come. Love, Carrie Ellen"

Road Agent
Universal Pictures
a.k.a. "Texas Road Agent," 1953 USA
reissue title
Filming title: "The Sonora Kid"
Directed by Charles Lamont
Written by Morgan Cox, Maurice Tombragel
and Arthur Strawn
Story by Sherman Lowe
and Arthur St. Claire
A Ben Pivar Production
Released December 10, 1941
(Anne Gwynne's birthday)
The actual 1941 filming title was "The Sonora Kid."
Duke Masters (Dick Foran)
and his two pals, Pancho (Leo Carrillo) and Andy (Andy Devine), are undercover
agents for an express company sent to round up a gang of bandits who have been
holding up stages carrying gold to the cattlemen of the district. They begin by
hijacking a gold shipment from the three bandits who took it from the stage.
They take it to town and drop it at the bank.
The money was the annual payment to the cattlemen, who are excitedly surrounding
bank president Sam Leavitt (Samuel S. Hinds) and his lovely
daughter Patricia (Anne Gwynne). Steve (John Gallaudet) and the two gunmen who helped him rob the
stage are in the crowd. They report this unexpected turn of events to their
boss, Big John Morgan (Morris Ankrum.) Morgan tries unsuccessfully to pin the
original robbery on Duke and his pals. He later confers with Leavitt who is an
unwilling tool in the holdups.
Morgan tries to decoy Duke, Pancho and Andy out
of town while his gang holds up the bank, but Duke, with the help of Leavitt's
daughter, Patricia, beats them to it and cleans out the bank
himself, taking the money to Leavitt's home to cache. But Morgan, Steve and the
gang are in pursuit.
Duke, Pancho and Andy make their escape, leaving behind the bank's money and a
note to Leavitt, telling him that Duke is actually a special agent for Wells
Fargo Express and that he can now run his bank honestly.

good book fiction by poet on bookstores
I was given this book by a friend and I absolutely adored it. The book consists of ten letters to a young student at a military college in Vienna who wants to become a poet. The student sends his work to Rilke in hopes of getting a bit of criticism, praise and advice. What he got was so much more. He gave life lessons. This book made me think about my life, not only as a writer but also as a person. It's inspirational in a way that few books are, and every letter has some lesson I need to learn to live by. Fun fact: Lady Gaga has a passage from this book on her arm.
