Who We Are
Katrina has spent her entire adult life working in live music production, putting her at the musical helm of over 2,000 weddings and other private events on Martha's Vineyard and elsewhere, including venues ranging from the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston to the Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach to the beaches of the Bahamas. Taking note of every detail, Katrina offers her clients guidance from start to finish and can often be found on site, making sure every musical aspect is executed as planned.
Over the years, Katrina has had experience planning and producing weddings and other private events for clients including Vice President Joe Biden, the Bush family, Donald Trump, Michael Straham, Ali Larter, the Kennedy family, The Martha's Vineyard Preservation Trust, The Lois Pope Foundation, and The Jimmy Fund, to name a few.
Katrina played a crucial role in the development of the private events music business on Martha's Vineyard. Her love of detailed planning led her to a new adventure, working as the real estate lead for President Obama and the First Family's vacation on Martha's Vineyard. The coordination effort was a welcome challenge, but her love of music has brought her back to producing live music.
Running is Katrina's second passion and she is often found in the early hours out on the bike paths of Martha's Vineyard. When she isn't working or running, Katrina finds time to travel the world and volunteer in orphanages from Kenya to Bolivia.
Jeremy Driesen has been a working drummer, bandleader and musical director since the age of 13 and has played with artists including Billy Idol, Scandal, Richie Havens, Gary US Bonds, Chuck Berry, Lesley Gore, Peter Noone, Bo Diddley, and Lou Christie. He has performed at pretty much every music venue on Martha's Vineyard and has also played Carnegie Hall, The Royal Albert Hall, Radio City Music Hall, Three Rivers Stadium, and too many dive bars to mention.
Jeremy has been profiled in The New York Times and Celebrity Access, featured in Real Simple magazine, and has spoken at Harvard Business School, Harvard University, George Washington University, New York University, and Berklee College of Music.
In the corporate world, Jeremy has presented celebrity talent for clients including Time Inc., Samsung, Morgan Stanley, Staples, Lotus IBM, Cantor Fitzgerald, Pepsi, MetLife, and many others.
Aside from business, Jeremy is an avid photographer, has photographed Martha's Vineyard extensively, and served as a volunteer firefighter in Chilmark. He considers The Ritz in Oak Bluffs to be more or less the center of the universe.

The family Hominidae is the family of the great apes and Gibbons also referred to as the Hominid family and is composed of gibbons, orangutans, gorillas, chimpanzees and humans1. We look at each of them individually.
Gibbons are fruit eating small apes of the family Hylobatidae, can walk on two legs with their arms up for balance2. They live in pairs and can have their offspring in their families. Can swing from branch to branch like the monkeys and can run on tree branches as they have a small weight. 6 Their wrists have joint of the ball and socket formation which allows for biaxial movements and have long legs and hands. Their thumb is detached from the other fingers and is near the wrist for grasping ability2, 6. They are territorial and make colour displays and vocal sounds that are very loud2. They are found in Asia (
The name Orang-Utans is a Malay name meaning "man of the forest"3. Orangutans are members of the so called great apes. Unlike the gibbons the Orang-Utans can not swing from branch to branch because of their massive weight but stretch their arms to reach to the next strong branches to move on trees6. They feed on fruits even though many at times they cannot reach the fruits high up in soft branches. They can grip on all four arms and have loose joints on their four legs. Males have a throat sac that they inflate to produce sounds for a period up to about three minute. They are solitary animals that walk alone with only females walk together with their young. This is necessitated by their size and being fruit feeders so they need to look for food alone6.
Gorillas are herbivorous (vegetarian) hominids that live in Africa especially Central
The chimpanzees, like gorillas live in Africa6. They feed on many varieties of leaves the and in addition, termites, ants, honey, birds' eggs, birds and even small mammals like monkeys. They live in bigger families than those of gorillas but of different sizes. They feed and sleep on trees and are good climbers and walk on their knuckles on four legs and with stiffly-held long arms for keeping their shoulders high. Sometimes they can settle on the ground but there is always activity6. Some chimps practice monogamy but some males' mate many females (when receptive the hind quarters turn pink) and the viceversa. There is a strong attachment between the mother and the young normally clinging to the mother with its fists. This helps the mother to teach the young various things and protect them from danger6. There's a great deal of socialisation among chimps with hair grooming, respect of the elders, greetings after new encounter and care of young. Chimpanzees are highly intelligent and are known to make tools like picking twigs and placing them on an anthill collecting ants and eating them from the twig6. They have a DNA 95 to 99.4% similar to that of humans7
The other members are humans who are bipedal intelligent beings. They have the ability of reasoning, speech and language. They also can make their own tools and have evolved to occupy all corners of the world5.

On the flight to the U.S. for the funeral of my Zeidy, Harry Rosenthal, I saw a man wearing a cap that read 'Proud Zeidy.' I complimented him on the cap, and he joked, "You know, people have told me that the words 'proud Zeidy' are redundant."
Those people are right; what Zeidy isn't proud of his grandchildren? And yet, there is proud and there is proud, and I realized that the comment was the perfect background for my reflection on my own Zeidy's life.
A person, we are told, carries several names throughout his life: the name he is given at birth, and the names he makes for himself. Zeidy made a name for himself as a caring son, a devoted husband, a loving father, a dedicated worker and a faithful Jew, but I think the name he was most proud of was 'Zeidy,' the proud, doting grandfather who thought I and my brother and sister were simply the greatest.
Zeidy was born in 1917 in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, growing up in an America where it was not easy to be a frum Jew, and not at all a given that you or your descendents would remain Orthodox. Yet to Zeidy, it wasn't a question; being Torah-observant was as clear and natural as breathing, and throughout his life he remained a faithful Jew, even as a soldier overseas in the U.S. Army. It was this simple, clear-headed faith, the attitude that you do what you're supposed to do, no matter the circumstances, that he transmitted to my father and, subsequently, to me and my siblings. The fact that we all, baruch Hashem, are raising Torah families today is thanks to his dedication and sacrifice.
Serving as a soldier during World War Two was one of the most transformative experiences of his life, and he loved telling us stories from that time. In his last years, when he sometimes had difficulty remembering more recent events, he still told over his army experiences with amazing recall. The anecdotes we knew by heart; yet the pride in his voice when he told them over was a story in itself. Because what he spoke about was not battles, or feats of valor. Every single one of his stories – all his favorites – were about him being a Jew. About organizing a minyan for Kaddish at the burial of a Jewish soldier, when he realized no one else was doing so. About making the unheard of request from a commanding officer for permission not to carry out the order to sew up a hole in his blanket, as it was Yom Kippur. (When the commander refused, a fellow Irish soldier offered to sew it instead, and Zeidy loved inserting at this point in the story how, when he told over the incident to Rabbi Yisrael Reisman, Rabbi Reisman called it a neis mishamayim.) All his cherished stories were about being a faithful Jew even in the U.S. Army in the 1940's, and it was this lesson and legacy that he passed on to us.
Zeidy was a true anav. He never boasted about his accomplishments, preferring to work hard in the background. When his brother-in-law, Rabbi Sholom Klass, z"l, founded The Jewish Press, Zeidy joined him in his fledgling endeavor, dedicating heart and soul, throughout his working years, towards building up the paper as its advertising manager. In those early years, he would often work through the night, and his success is reflected in the paper you read today, yet he eschewed kavod, always remaining behind the scenes.
The same was true for his many acts of chessed. He learned from his own parents both the love of helping others and the modesty of not talking about it. He would tell us that he never knew how many people his mother had helped out through the years until her funeral, when crowds of strangers showed up to pay their respects. Zeidy, too, performed his many chassadim without fanfare. It was only through Bubby that I learned how he took care of his older single sister for many years, dedicating hours every Thursday, week after week, to drive from one end of New York City to the other, picking up food for Shabbos from his younger sister and delivering it to his older one. Zeidy never mentioned it, just like he never spoke about the sacrifice he undoubtedly made to bring his in-laws to live in his home, with he and Bubby caring for them until Bubby's mother, my Bubby Ethel, passed away 25 years later. It was not Zeidy's way to complain; he always had a smile on his face, and everyone loved being around him. He had a large group of friends; his friendly, easygoing personality attracted people. Even in his last few weeks, when doctors coming to examine him asked how he was doing, his response was always, "I'm fine."

A federal bankruptcy judge today ruled that the city of Detroit is eligible for bankruptcy protection and may cut pension benefits for retired city workers, despite a provision in the state's Constitution banning such pension cuts. Attorneys for city workers, firefighters and police officers say they will appeal the judge's ruling.
Kevyn Orr, Detroit's so-called emergency manager appointed by Gov. Rick Snyder (R) to take the city into bankruptcy over its $18 billion in long-term debt, is claiming the financial problems were caused by pension and health care benefits and wasted no time following the judge's ruling today outlining his plans to cut retirees' pensions. He told the Detroit Free Press editorial board those cuts will be central in his reorganization plan and that he will not ask for state help to avoid pension cuts.
In a statement this afternoon, the Michigan State AFL-CIO and Metropolitan Detroit AFL-CIO said:
Working people across Michigan are appalled by today's ruling in the Detroit bankruptcy case. Taking from retirees who already make do with very little will not fix the city and sets a dangerous precedent for our entire state.
Sharon L. Levine, a lawyer for AFSCME Council 25, told The New York Times that if pensions are cut for some 21,000 retired public employees—with average pensions of about $19,000:
They're going to lose their homes. They're going to lose medical benefits. They're not going to be able to feed their families. These are very scary issues. So while we're working through the mediation process and we hope to be able to negotiate through the plan of adjustment process, we are going to pursue all our litigation options, as well. We have to.
Detroit Fire Fighters (IAFF) Local 344 President Jeff Pegg said in statement:
This is far from the end of our fight….As the process moves forward, we will continue working to preserve our pension rights and the protections they have under the state Constitution, while we work to convince the City and the Court that, precisely because of our essential contribution to public safety, we must not be treated like the general unsecured debt of Wall Street bankers and their insurers.
Basically, Judge Steven W. Rhodes ruled that federal bankruptcy law preempts the Michigan Constitution's pension protection provision.
The Michigan and Detroit AFL-CIOs warned that ruling also:
Sends a clear signal that if you work hard and earn a fair pension, a governor with a radical, right-wing political agenda can use the federal bankruptcy court as a tool to rob you of everything you earned.
Rhodes did say he won't necessarily agree to pension cuts in the city's final reorganization plan unless the entire plan is fair and equitable. He said the court "will not lightly or casually exercise the power to impair pensions."
Liz Iacobucci of the New Hampshire Labor News writes this afternoon that Rhodes' ruling could be felt outside of Michigan, in other states like New Hampshire that have similar pension protections written into their constitutions.
Think about that, carefully—because to me, that is the single most frightening part of this whole situation. The judge held that federal bankruptcy law trumps a state constitution. One more time: According to this morning's ruling, a law passed by Congress can invalidate a provision of a state constitution.

While the U.S. and its European allies are desperately seeking an agreement with Russia aimed at curbing Iran's nuclear ambitions, Israel last week sent three powerful signals that it is preparing itself for the possibility that Iran does become a nuclear power.
In the presence of Israeli and American scientists, high-tech and air force personnel, Israel launched its improved version of the Arrow anti-missile missile on Friday. The Arrow hit its target over the Mediterranean, at a distance equal to the range of the Iranian "Shihab-3″ missile. When it becomes operational, the Shihab-3, equipped with a nuclear warhead, can reach Israel and every American target in the Persian Gulf region.
This was Israel's 14th test of the improved version of the American-financed Arrow and the most successful of them.
After rectifying minor navigation errors and enhancing further its range, the Arrow could become Israel's effective shield against Iran's missiles.
Equally dramatic was the formal German decision to equip the Israeli navy with two additional Dolphin-class submarines. This was one of the last decisions of Gerhard Schroeder before he handed over the chancellery to Angela Merkel. Germany will "gift" a third of the submarines' costs.
The Israeli navy already has three subs of this type. The new Dolphins are to be equipped with torpedo-tubes capable of launching cruise missiles – with conventional or nuclear warheads. The new subs can be submerged for many weeks. Because of their speed and enhanced technology, the Dolphins are also difficult to detect.
The use of the submarines in the Indian Ocean, off the Iranian coast, could spare Israel the need to fly over Arab countries — as it did in 1981, when it flew over Jordan to destroy the Iraqi nuclear reactor near Baghdad.
An Israeli attack from a submarine in the Indian Ocean could spare the U.S. and the Arab countries lots of embarrassment.
Finally, the third "signal." Although the "secret" was known to many people, Israel allowed the publication Friday of news that Israeli companies are building in Kurdistan a new military and civilian airport. The building and the modern equipment are financed by the U.S.
Needless to say, should the Bush administration or any future administration decide to strike at Iran's nuclear facilities, this airport in northern-Iraq, close to the Iranian border, could serve as the launching pad for such an attack.
These three signals were accompanied by rare public warnings from Israel's top political and military leaders.
Addressing the chief editors of the Israeli media last Thursday, on the occasion of the 58th anniversary of the 1947 UN Resolution to establish the Jewish state, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon said: "Israel would not allow Iran to become a nuclear power. Of course there exists a military option, but we prefer to exhaust first all diplomatic options. Israel is a 'partner' in this effort but does not lead it."
Israel's chief of general staff, Gen. Dan Halutz, was even more blunt. Briefing foreign correspondents in Tel Aviv on Sunday, Halutz said: "Iran's determination to acquire nuclear capabilities is unacceptable. There are, of course, military options but these were not considered yet…"
Israel's public warnings, combined with several operational signals, came against a background of growing Israeli doubts about the outcome of the diplomatic effort that is now being explored by Russia and Europe.
Israeli leaders have become frustrated by Iran's ability to fend off, time after time, the international pressure.
Israel considers Iran's nuclear plans as an "existential threat." Nevertheless, for obvious reasons, Israel preferred until now to keep its doubts to itself. Not anymore. The fact that both Sharon and Gen. Halutz preferred to say at the same time that Israel will not allow Iran to become nuclear, together with the timing of its three signals indicate that Israel cannot remain silent in face of a growing fear that the world – including the U.S. – is giving the impression that it has given up on stopping Iran's bomb.
Israel believes that Iran's plans are not only an "Israeli affair" but a subject that affects the security of the U.S. and all the Arab countries.
Therefore, and in an unprecedented move, AIPAC – the powerful pro-Israeli lobby in Washington, lashed out last week against the American handling of the Iranian file. Attacking the U.S. decision not to refer Iran to the UN Security Council for possible sanctions, AIPAC said: "We disagree with this decision. It poses a severe danger to the U.S. and our allies and puts American national interests at risk. The American decision allows Iran to win a critical round in its game of cat and mouse with the international community."
Nevertheless, the U.S. is unlikely to change its current decision that it will not turn to the UN Security Council unless it is absolutely certain that its draft resolution will not be vetoed by Russia and China. Therefore, the U.S. is now engaged on two parallel diplomatic tracks. Relying on past Russian and Chinese assurances that Moscow and Beijing are opposed to Iran's nuclear plans, the U.S. has joined its European allies in supporting the Russian proposal that Iran be allowed to produce nuclear fuel precursors, but these precursors will be shipped for enrichment in Russia. Should Iran reject the Russian proposal, Washington hopes Russia and China would join in having the security council impose economic sanctions on Iran.

Fox Developing 'Linda Green' Remake
Fox and the BBC want to spend some time with Linda Green.
The network and BBC Worldwide Productions, alongside Sony Pictures Television, are developing a remake of the British dramedy, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
The original series, which starred Liza Tarbuck and ran for two seasons in 2001-02 on BBC One, revolved around a thirtysomething woman who was a car salesman by day and nightclub singer by night as she and her friends navigated life and love. The Fox project, which has received a script commitment from the network, will be an hourlong effort compared with the original's half-hour format.
STORY: British TV Writer Paul Abbott Talks About U.S. Versions of 'Shameless'
Paul Abbott, who co-created the British series from Red Productions with Nicola Shindler, is on board to executive produce. Family Guy's Alex Borstein, who was a writer and producer on Abbott's U.S. Shameless remake at Showtime, is on board to executive produce and pen the script. Jane Tranter and Julie Gardner will also executive produce for BBC Worldwide Productions.
The Fox installment will revolve around the titular character and her four best friends as they navigate their way through their 30s. Set in Boston, the blue-collar series will put the spotlight on the often-disappointing realities of love, marriage and stability with each potential episode offering a glimpse into their life as they try to be just a little kinder to one another.
This marks Abbott's latest U.S. adaptation, joining Showtime's Emmy Rossum/William H. Macy starrer Shameless and the feature film adaptation of State of Play. His latest series, Chloe Sevigny starrer Hit & Miss, ended after one season on DirecTV.
Borstein is repped by WME; Abbott is with the U.K.'s The Agency.

"Getting shipments from A to B quickly and reliably is an essential part of doing business. As such, we are thrilled to welcome a company of the calibre of Manitoulin into our community. We believe the services Manitoulin provides will help take our businesses to the next level of competitiveness that they so deserve," she said.
Manitoulin's president, Don Goodwill, said the terminal should help provide local customers with improved service.
"This terminal benefits local businesses by providing easier access to distant markets they may not otherwise be able to reach," he said.
"Now they have a reliable full-service transportation partner right on their doorstep that can help them drive success at home, and on a global scale."
Gord Smith, chief executive officer, of the Manitoulin Group of Companies said offering clients better customer service is a key business driver.
"This is the latest of several significant investments we've made recently to benefit our customers," he said.
"We are constantly investing in infrastructure and developing new supply chain services to meet the ever-evolving requirements of our customers. Now local businesses can rely on a single-source provider for ground transportation, freight forwarding, customs brokerage, warehousing, global time critical delivery, crating, heavy haul, oil field services, logistics and supply chain management."

Sorry, no etymologies found.
The nurse and the guards believed FitzRoy was serving as Lord Denno's excuse for being in the area, in order to see his imaginary light-o'-love.
And watching his luck was his light-o'-love, the lady that's known as Lou.
It was that, during her "Bohemian" period, he had endeavoured to fill the empty niche left in her affections by the departure of that light-o'-love, Captain Lennox, and had been repulsed for his pains.
Even on the mornings when I heard Dan's step, soft and wary on the cobbles, before the sun was up, and knew by the look of him, and the gruffness in his voice, that he had travelled many a weary mile from his light-o'-love, and that sleep had not troubled him, I would hear the stable door opening and Dan whistling like the cheery early bird as he opened the corn-kist.
That is why a priest's light-o'-love is always some honest man's wife.
In a brilliant gleam of electric light, shot from the train in the darkness, I thought I saw the face of my Dolores, with a white gag across the mouth, but the idea seemed so preposterous that I did not give it another thought, thinking it to be some phantom of an overwrought brain, and the woman some light-o'-love of the desperado.
Consider – I give them in Shillitoe's formation – the choices open to us: above self-love dove shove glove true-love love lady-love light-o'-love
"Why, your light-o'-love, for sure, friend, as we found along o 'you on a lonely island, _amigo_."
"So do you yearn ever for your light-o'-love, for your vanished Joan -- your Damaris that left you --"
His conversation with "Mame," his light-o'-love, was conducted along this line:

Days 307 to 357 – Three Weeks Off, Weights, Bootcamp, 5K's, CardioX, Cardio-Funk, Plyometrics, Yoga and Fitwall
I took three glorious weeks off because I wanted to. I decided not too let it bother me. So what I wasn't going to the gym! I needed a little time off. My fiance thought something was wrong with me. He kept on reading motivational workout quotes to get me to go to the gym. Like a little 2 year old having a temper tantrum, I stormed out of the room shouting, "NO MORE MOTIVATIONAL QUOTES!!!"
I enjoyed my time off. Then on week 4 I decided to come back from my hibernation. I had a lot of cardio this month. I'm doing it on purpose to make sure I fit into that darn dress. Did I mention that my dress boutique ordered me one size smaller??? Yeap. Way to make me want to keep the weight off.
Here is my workout for all weeks:
Week 4: weights, bootcamp and 5K
Week 5: weights and more weights
Week 6: cardioX, 5K, cardio-funk and plyometrics
Week 7: weights, yoga and FitWall
I'm on my last leg of the 1 year workout…yippieee!!!
For some weird reason when I add it all up, the day before the wedding is "Day 369". I must have counted my days wrong. Anyhow, you get the point. I started working out last year on exactly October 13, 2011. My goal of working out for a year to live healthier, become stronger and better is coming to a "wordpress end". The next two weeks before the weeding are going to be nutso. I know this by the way my calendar already looks. Meetings here and there, flowers, cakes, last dress fitting/alterations, hair, etc, etc, etc. I think my workouts will become my de-stresser.
Good night!

I saw this picture and thought from now on i can try to use it every Wednesday and write about something that is on my heart on that day.
"Not our Will, but His be done". Sometimes it's hard to actually live that way, because being human we are selfish and we have our fleshly desires of how we want to live, where we want to work and what we want to do with our lives. But if you live out His will for your life, things are always better when we do what He wants us to do.
There are times where I will hold back and say, I'll do it this way (my way) because I'll feel like I'll have more control of the situation or outcome. Those times I find myself stressed out, worried and feeling alone. We need to take everything to prayer and give it all to God. Then have faith in Him. He knows what is best.
Side note: I want to encourage you to read "Crazy Love" by Francis Chan. He is a pastor of a church out in South California. I read this book and it really made me re-think the way I was living in different areas in my life.
This Wednesday I am going to focus my prayers on the Military. My little brother is a Marine and is stationed in Okinawa, Japan. Just from talking with Mark, I know it has to be really hard to be a Christian (away from home) in the Marines. Constantly being around Men that drink, swear, share ex-girl friend naked pictures and so on and so on. There is sin everywhere in this world, but I just pray that Mark and all Christian Military men and women can stand up for what they believe in, and seek God everyday. To not lose sight of Jesus and why we are here on Earth and that He is returning soon. To be the light, and have courage and strength, and to always be safe. Will you pray that today to?

Continued heavy rainfall causes ooding in Ethiopia, Sudan, and South Sudan
Africa Weather Hazards
Below-average rainfall since mid-May has led to abnormal dryness across eastern Uganda and southwestern Kenya. Moisture deficits are likely to negatively impact cropping and Pastoral activities.
Repeated weeks of very heavy, above-normal rains have oversaturated the ground in parts of Ethiopia, Sudan, and South Sudan. More heavy rain during the next week is likely to cause further flooding.
Africa Weather Hazards
- Persistent, above average rainfall since July has led to excessively rainfall surpluses and floods that have damaged infrastructure, displaced populations, and caused fatalities in parts of Sudan, South Sudan, and Ethiopia.
- Below-average seasonal rainfall and persistent moisture deficits in the region have negatively impacted developing crops across parts of eastern Oromia and SNNPR in Ethiopia.
- There is a potential for increased number of locusts migrating from the Arabian Peninsula which may negatively impact cropping …
Heavy rains expected to further increase risk of flooding in West and East Africa
Africa Weather Hazards
The persistence of above-average rainfall continues to increase both short-term and long-term rainfall surpluses and trigger flooding throughout many areas in Sudan, South Sudan and western Ethiopia. Above-average rainfall is forecast to continue over the region, further worsening the potential for flooding over many downstream areas of eastern Sudan during the next week.

Michael W. Piasecki founded Dragonfly Pictures, Inc. (DPI), in 1992 to develop new image acquisition tools. At the time, he was working in the technical side of the film industry where he specialized in remotely controlling and stabilizing cameras on moving platforms. Along with other prestigious cameramen, he worked with Garrett Brown, the inventor of the SteadyCam*, which was used in blockbuster movies such as Rocky and Star Wars.
Combining his expertise in image stabilization with his work in aviation and aerial mapping, Piasecki designed new cutting-edge image acquisition tools. These tools were designed for lower cost tactical applications that required more timely geo-referenced imaging capabilities for people on the ground. The tools included camera stabilization techniques for unmanned helicopters for use in near-earth environments and complex terrain. Complex terrain includes such environments as urban, jungle, and mountainous terrain where the oblique perspective is required.
After demonstrating landmark UAV imaging technology to over 200 military observers from around the world, Piasecki and his team designed other successful UAV systems and subsystems. With unique UAV requirements — long range, high endurance, low cost, fully stabilized — Piasecki also developed a unique, extensive, world-class test infrastructure for unmanned aircraft.
Under his leadership, DPI has designed, tested, and/or built aircraft systems and subsystems for customers who have included the U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, DARPA, U.S. Marine Corps, Boeing, SAIC, L3, AAI, Northrop Grumman, HARRIS and many other well-known aviation system and subsystem vendors, designers, and specialty shops.
Under Piasecki's leadership, DPI has become the industry leader in rotary wing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) in the U.S. DPI UAV have successfully flown thousands of hours,and are ideal for missions where precision flight, precision imagery, long endurance, high payload capacity, and life and safety are a priority.

For the patient suffering from myocardial infarction or stroke, immediate medical help is crucial. The speedy arrival of the EMS staff to a patient's location is critically important, but so is the immediate transportation to the nearest cardiocenter or neurological center with the goal of performing a special procedure with the aim of opening a blocked heart or brain artery. At present, a large proportion of patients is not directly admitted to specialized centers within the medically accepted time limit. There is still a limited ability among paramedics to establish myocardial infarction or stroke diagnosis while on location with the patient, and many times the patient is first transferred to the nearest local hospital where the diagnosis is established and only then the secondary transportation to the specialized center is arranged. This secondary transportation causes delay that could be harmful to the patient.
The communication technology STEMI enables immediate voice and picture consultation regarding a 12 lead ECG or stroke card with a specialist, cardiologist or neurologist, in the nearest specialized center. If the diagnosis is remotely confirmed, the patient is then transported directly to the center and appropriate treatment procedure can be performed with no time delay. The mobile application STEMI can save the life of your patient.
Increases the ratio of initial transports directly to a specialized cardio-center or stroke-center
Decreases the number of false activations of the stemi team or stroke team
Saves miles for the paramedics and increases EMS efficency
Enables the cardio-center or stroke-center to monitor the paramedic's position on the map and the estimated time of arrival
Shortens the total ischemic interval for a patient with myocardial infarction or stroke
Are you in charge of EMS, Cardiac Center, or Neurocenter and considering using the app STEMI?Get in touch

Chocolate Crackers
Sometimes the strangest food combinations are surprisingly the best. I love the pairing of sweet and salt, but when I first saw saltine crackers in a dessert recipe, I was skeptical.
This is super easy to make, and you can store the ingredients for entertaining emergencies - that is if you can refrain from eating the Van Otis chocolate in advance.
Salted-top saltine crackers - approximately 45-48
8 ounces of Van Otis Dark Chocolate Bark - approximately 30 squares
1 stick of butter, melted
1/2 cup of sugar
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line an ungreased cookie sheet with whole saltine crackers. Break crackers to fill in the edges.
Melt one stick of butter in microwave or on stovetop. Stir in sugar. Drizzle butter and sugar mixture onto crackers.
Put cookie sheet into the oven for approximately 5 to 6 minutes.
While the crackers are in the oven, slowly melt Van Otis Dark Chocolate Bark either in the microwave or on the stovetop, being careful not to scorch.
When the butter begins to bubble on the crackers, remove cookie sheet from oven. Pour and spread melted chocolate on top of the butter/sugar mixture. Don't worry about consistent texture. Crackers may be exposed in some spots.
Allow chocolate to harden and break into pieces. Crackers should be stored in a sealed container, under your bed if you prefer not to share.

Peace Treatsy
There were so many notable conflicts during the 1970s and 1980s including the Vietnam War, bombings in Beirut, and who could forget the collision of chocolate and peanut butter. It wasn't uncommon to hear, "You got your chocolate in my peanut butter!" and vice versa. I think we might have averted the chocolate/peanut butter argument if someone had thought to combine chocolate and liquor instead. Imagine a commercial where someone is walking along the sidewalk with a chocolate bar and accidentally collides with someone carrying a paper-bagged pint. Instead of an argument ensuing, I envision a euphoric scene with hearts, butterflies, and maybe even a pink unicorn - both parties are just that happy.
This kind of bliss exists at 341 Elm Street in Manchester, New Hampshire and at www.vanotis.com. Van Otis Chocolates' confectioners have partnered some delicious chocolates and spirits including candied discs of Fragole Z Wine, Chocolate Raspberry Port Wine, Bacca Z Wine, French Brandy, and Cabin Fever Maple Whisky. Van Otis has also handcrafted the following truffles; some offers are limited, so hurry in!
Eggnog Truffle - These truffles are thickly layered with dark and milk chocolate and lightly sugar-coated. The creamy eggnog center has a hint of rum and nutmeg. It's definitely a holiday-flavored treat.
Green Fairy Truffle - This truffle is a work of art with its powdered, mint green exterior. The extra creamy dark chocolate and strong absinth center is encased by a dark chocolate shell.
Cabin Fever Maple Whisky Truffle - This is another subtle alcohol offering with an interesting crunchy, dark chocolate exterior. The creamy chocolate center has a hint of maple flavor and an aftertaste of whiskey.
Baileys Truffle - A slightly bitter powdered exterior coats a milk chocolate shell, which encases a creamy chocolate and Irish cream center. These truffles are delicious!

Syria conflict: Rebel reinforcements arrive in Qusair
Dozens of fighters have arrived to reinforce rebel units battling to hold off a Syrian government and Hezbollah assault on the key town of Qusair.
A source in Qusair told the BBC the number was far fewer than the 1,000 suggested by the interim head of the main opposition alliance, George Sabra.
But the arrival does contradict state media reports the town is surrounded.
Meanwhile, the UN Security Council added the jihadist rebel group al-Nusra Front to its global sanctions list.
The move by the al-Qaeda Sanctions Committee means al-Nusra is now subject to an international asset freeze, travel ban and arms embargo.
Al-Nusra has emerged as one of the most effective rebel fighting forces in the Syrian conflict and last month announced allegiance to al-Qaeda.
Western nations on the Security Council pushed the designation because they are trying to strengthen moderate forces in the opposition, reports the BBC's Barbara Plett at UN headquarters in New York.
But diplomats said none of the council members ultimately objected to the move, which had to be agreed by consensus, our correspondent adds.
'No water'
Syrian state television said troops and Hezbollah fighters had captured the Arjun district of Qusair on Thursday.
The source in Qusair did not give precise figures for the rebel reinforcements for security reasons.
But he said it was significant that they had managed to get in at all, and that the news would encourage others to come to the aid of the rebels.
He also said the humanitarian situation in Qusair was worsening, with urgent need to get some 800 wounded people out for treatment.
An attempt to evacuate the wounded on Friday had failed, he added, as the convoy had come under attack, with nine people killed.
The source said that 80% of Qusair was still under rebel control, although this cannot be independently verified.
He told the BBC: "There are about 30,000 people in Qusair. The ones that are inside are stuck here, and most of them live underground... Sometimes there are two or three families living in one room.
"There is no water at all, because the Assad regime controls the water supply, and there has been no electricity for four months."
Mr Sabra, acting leader of the National Coalition for Syrian Revolutionary and Opposition Forces, insisted that "around 1,000 fighters from across Syria" had penetrated the town.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a UK-based activist group, said "hundreds" of rebels had broken through army lines north-east of Qusair.
Rebel coalition expanded
Earlier, the National Coalition ended marathon talks in Istanbul with a pledge to broaden its membership.
It will include more representatives of the rebel Free Syrian Army and other activists inside Syria, but correspondents say it failed to achieve many stated goals.
The coalition announced that its leadership council would be expanded, following widespread criticism that it was out of touch with events on the ground in Syria.
It adds 14 members of a liberal bloc led by Michel Kilo, 14 members of activists' groups from inside Syria and 15 members linked to the FSA.
However, the coalition postponed until June the election of a new leader to replace Moaz al-Khatib, who said in March he would resign, and the formation of an interim rebel government headed by Ghassan Hitto.
Before the announcement, the US had called for a decision on a new leadership and an expanded membership to "move forward in planning the Geneva conference".
US Secretary of State John Kerry said on Friday he was convinced the Syrian opposition would take part in the Geneva talks.
The US and Russia are pushing for a meeting to find a political solution to the conflict in the Swiss city next month, and their officials will meet next week to prepare the ground.
Mr Sabra insisted: "The Syrian Coalition will not participate in international conferences and will not support any efforts in light of Hezbollah and Iran's militia's invasion of Syria."
However, given the fractured nature of the opposition it is unclear whether this is the final word.
The BBC's Jim Muir in Beirut says a lot more needs to be done for the opposition to be in any kind of shape to attend any conference in a coherent manner.
He says that, by contrast, the Syrian government appears unified and confident.
Russia warned
On Thursday, President Bashar al-Assad told Lebanon's al-Manar TV, which is owned by Hezbollah, that Syria would respond in kind to any future Israeli air strikes.
He said Syria would "in principle" attend the peace conference in Geneva if there were not unacceptable preconditions.
A Russian contract to supply Syria with new S-300 air defence missile systems was being implemented, he added, without confirming any deliveries.
German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle on Friday urged Moscow not to endanger the prospects of the Geneva Conference by carrying out the missile shipment.
The S-300 is a highly capable surface-to-air missile system that, as well as targeting aircraft, also has the capacity to engage ballistic missiles.
Two Russian newspapers on Friday quoted defence sources as saying that it was unclear if any of the missile system would be delivered this year.
Russia's MiG company said it was also discussing the supply of more MiG-29 M/M2 fighter planes to Syria. General director Sergei Korotkov said the number would be "more than 10".
Meanwhile, Syrian state TV showed the bodies and identity cards of two Westerners it said were killed by government troops while fighting for the rebels in the north-western province of Idlib.
The family of an American woman later reported her death, naming her as Nicole Mansfield, a 33-year-old Muslim convert from the town of Flint, Michigan.
The UK Foreign Office said on Friday that it was aware of reports about a British citizen and was seeking further information.

PSDA's 2013 Distributor Solutions Expo Delivers High ROI to Exhibitors, Attendees
Friday, May 17, 2013
Press release from the issuing company
Industry's Premier Association Also Announces New Show Location, Dates for 2014
CHICAGO – PSDA recently concluded its annual Distributor Solutions Expo, with the revamped educational program and trade show floor receiving rave reviews from participants. The event, held May 8-9 at the Navy Pier Convention Center in Chicago, drew more registered attendees than for the association's 2012 and 2011 events in Baltimore and Chicago, respectively, and exhibiting manufacturers of print and related products and services reported seeing a steady flow of qualified leads.
The many strategic and tactical changes made to the show for 2013 ultimately attracted more attendees and delivered higher floor traffic and ROI, according to John Delavan, PSDA's director of marketing and communication services and editor-in-chief of its flagship monthly magazine, Print Solutions.
"The attendance and traffic flow were great, and our sales team came back pumped with new leads," said Roger Buck, Director of Marketing for The Flesh Company, a PSDA member.
"PSDA successfully repositioned its Expo as the must-attend experience for distributors and manufacturers that want to partner to deliver powerful solutions for end-user customers," Delavan said. "It represented a premier opportunity for distributors to find solutions that meet their customers' changing needs. While traditional printed products such as labels, tags and forms remain vital to our event's success and reason for being, as well as to PSDA and all of its member businesses, our attendees have told us that an exclusive emphasis on print does not reflect the industry's evolution, which includes many solutions that go beyond purely print and often enhance it. The Solution Zones helped bring attention to the how the industry is changing – and expanding."
Among the changes in 2013 were a non-traditional Expo floor featuring four "Solution Zones" for specialized exhibitors – Promotional Products; Packaging & Direct Mail; Marketing & Technology; and Signage, Display and Wide Format. On-the-floor forums and presentations were held in the Solution Zones to educate attendees about new area in which they can grow their businesses. "The Solution Zones helped bring attention to the how the industry is changing – and expanding," Delavan said.
The consensus was that PSDA's 2013 show was stellar – and that it will only continue to improve in 2014.
"Those of you who attended already know what a great success story this year's show was, and for those of you who did not attend, you really missed an outstanding event," said Randy Eubanks, Vice President of Sales at Suncoast Marketing Inc. and a member of PSDA's Board of Directors. "Almost everything was new this year: from the setup of the hall to the education and seminars. I heard only positive feedback from the attendees, both from the suppliers and the distributors."
PSDA's Distributor Solutions Expo next will be held April 23-24, 2014, at the Hyatt Regency Chicago – with all exhibits, educational sessions and networking events under one roof.
"We're excited to partner with the Hyatt Regency Chicago to continue to evolve PSDA's signature annual event," said PSDA Executive Vice President Matt Sanderson. "We believe that holding the entire event at one property will further drive the power of partnership among distributors, manufacturers and suppliers, and enable our members to do more and better business together."

Randall Woodfield
Randall Woodfield
|Randall Woodfield
|Background information
|Also known as:
|The I-5 Killer, The I-5 Bandit
|26 December 1950 (1950-12-26)
Salem, Oregon
|Number of victims:
|Span of killings:
|Oregon, California
|Date apprehended:
Randall "Randy" Woodfield (born December 26, 1950) is an American serial killer dubbed The I-5 Killer or The I-5 Bandit for the I-5 Highway running from Washington to California, where he committed multiple sexual assaults and murders. A native of Oregon, he was convicted of three murders and is suspected of killing up to 18 people. Woodfield is incarcerated at the Oregon State Penitentiary.
Early life
Born in Salem, Oregon, Woodfield came from a middle class family with no evident signs of dysfunction. He was popular among his peers, and was a football star at Newport High School on the Oregon Coast and at Portland State University.
Beginning in adolescence, however, he began to exhibit antisocial sexual behaviors, primarily a penchant for indecent exposure. Upon his first arrest for this crime in high school, his football coaches hushed it up so that he wouldn't be kicked off the team.
Three arrests in the early 1970s for petty crimes such as vandalism and public indecency did not prevent Woodfield from being drafted in the 1974 NFL Draft by the Green Bay Packers as a wide receiver, in the 17th round (428th pick), but he was dismissed from the team that same year after more than a dozen arrests for indecent exposure.
Rape and murder spree
The following year, Woodfield robbed and sexually assaulted several women at knife point. He was eventually caught by an undercover female police officer, however, and went to prison for second degree robbery. He served four years of a 10-year sentence.
In 1979, Woodfield embarked upon a two year robbery spree, holding up gas stations, ice cream parlors and homes along the Interstate 5 freeway. Several of his female victims were sexually assaulted, murdered, or both.
In March 1981, police investigating a shooting death in Beaverton, Oregon encountered Woodfield, who was a casual acquaintance of the victim. Citing his history of sexual assault, police searched his home and found evidence linking him to the murder, as well as the attempted murders of two young women. Woodfield was arrested and charged with the Beaverton murder and a double murder of a wife and daughter in Redding, California.
Woodfield's modus operandi — one part of which was using tape to bind his victims — linked him to many of the murders which occurred along the I-5 freeway. The type of tape found on the victims and the tape found at Woodfield's house matched.[citation needed] Detectives also knew that they were looking for someone who was familiar and comfortable with the I-5 freeway, given the disposition of the victims.
In October 1981, Woodfield was tried in Salem for the murder of Shari Hull, as well as charges of sodomy and attempted murder.[1] Chris Van Dyke, son of actor Dick Van Dyke, was the district attorney of Marion County, Oregon at the time and prosecuted the case. He was convicted of the murder and sentenced to life in prison, and sentenced to an additional 165 years for convictions of the other crimes.[1]
Prior to a later 1981 trial, Woodfield's counsel attempted to move the trial from the Willamette Valley due to the publicity the case received in an effort to ensure a fair trial.[2] The judge in the case denied Woodfield's request, along with a request to hypnotize a prosecution witness in an effort to determine if that witness had been influenced by the media coverage.[2] He is serving the sentences at the Oregon State Penitentiary in Salem.[3] While he was charged with four murders, it is estimated that Woodfield committed as many more, as well as upwards of 60 sexual assaults.
Prison life
In October 1983, Woodfield was injured at the prison during a disturbance by another inmate.[3] In April 1987, Woodfield filed a $12 million libel suit against author Ann Rule.[4] True crime author Rule wrote The I-5 Killer, a best-selling non-fiction account of Woodfield's life and crime spree in 1984. Oregon's federal court dismissed the lawsuit on statute of limitations grounds in January 1988.[4]
By 1990 he was suspected in at least 44 homicides.[5] In 2001 and 2006, DNA testing linked Woodfield to two additional
murders in Oregon from 1980 and 1981.[6]
