My lady went out of town last weekend, so I was going to take the boys to see some politics in action! After a bit of explaining to a nine-year-old and five-year-old about us having rights to assembly and free speech, our Constitution, and other countries, I told them about a rally on the Capitol steps where some groups were proposing changes to textbooks based on their agendas. My youngest cut to the chase:
"Is this rally going to be cool?"
Needless to say, a hot day plus political speakers makes for a time that no amount of climbing on cannons will make fun. They tolerated being there, but couldn't stand more than one speaker due to "dying of hunger and boredom."
On the way back to the car we got sidetracked by the Capitol – all of a sudden energy levels were high enough to run up the stairs and look down the rotunda!

Another NFL team will try to convert Maybin in "Mayhem."
The Cincinnati Bengals announced Friday they have signed veteran linebacker Aaron Maybin. Terms of the deal have yet to be disclosed.
This will be Maybin's third team since being selected by the Buffalo Bills as the No. 11 pick in the 2009 NFL Draft. After washing out in Orchard Park, Maybin caught on with the New York Jets in 2011 and experienced a modest career resurgence with six sacks as a situational pass rusher.
Emboldened by Maybin's seemingly found promise, Rex Ryan predicted during training camp that Maybin would have a much bigger role on the Jets' defense this season. Instead, he had one tackle in eight games before he was quietly released on Nov. 13.
Maybin, 24, joins a Bengals defense that finished this season with 51 sacks, just one behind the Denver Broncos and St. Louis Rams for the most in the NFL. If Maybin sticks around, he adds some depth to an already productive line.

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - The number of Americans hospitalized for osteoporosis-related fractures and other injuries has climbed 55 percent since 1995, a U.S. government report finds.
In 2006, Americans had more than 254,000 hospital stays for injuries related to the bone-thinning disease — with fractures of the hip, spine and ribs among the most common, according to the study by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality
The figure represents a considerable increase in the rate of such hospitalizations over just one decade. In 1995, the rate of hospital stays for osteoporosis-related injuries was 55 per 100,000 people; in 2006, it was 85 per 100,000.
"This is a fairly alarming increase," said Dr. Anne Elixhauser, a senior research scientist with the AHRQ.
The reasons, she told Reuters Health, are not known, but a number of factors could be involved.
One is the aging of the population, Elixhauser said, though this alone cannot account for the 55 percent increase.
Other culprits include lack of exercise, which helps build and preserve bone mass, and inadequate intake of calcium and vitamin D — two nutrients crucial to bone health.
Another potential factor, according to Elixhauser, is increased use of certain medications that can lower bone mass, such as diuretics to treat high blood pressure and proton-pump inhibitors used to treat acid reflux.
Not surprisingly, most of the hospitalizations for osteoporosis-related injuries in 2006 involved older women, who are at increased risk of developing osteoporosis. Women accounted for nearly 89 percent of hospital stays in 2006, and adults older than 65 accounted for about 90 percent.
But while osteoporosis-related hospitalizations are mostly among older adults, women, as well as men, should start thinking about osteoporosis prevention early on, Elixhauser advised.
That, she said, means not smoking, drinking alcohol only in moderation and getting adequate calcium and vitamin D through food or, if necessary, supplements. Lifelong exercise — especially weight-bearing activities that put the bones under some stress, like jogging, jumping and brisk walking — will also help build and maintain bone mass.
People who already have osteoporosis should talk with their doctors about the best ways to lower their risk of fractures, Elixhauser said.
Doing so may also make a difference in terms of healthcare dollars. In 2006, the AHRQ study found, osteoporosis-related injuries carried a price tag of $2.4 billion in hospital costs.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) recently reexamined its ""Most Wanted List"" of safety improvements and retained two items of importance to general aviation: runway incursions and icing.
The board's public hearing revealed there is an average of three operational errors a day at the nation's towered airports and one severe incident every nine days. Controllers say 22% of the errors are reported by crew members or witnesses. Staff members cited three recent incidents at which airliners narrowly missed colliding when flights were operating on intersecting runways. Another, just four days before the public hearing, had not yet been investigated.
Runway incursions have been on the NTSB's list since 1990. The FAA instituted the AMASS program (Airport Movement Area Safety System), but this provides information only to controllers and not pilots. Acting Chairman Mark Rosenker said he is pleased with the progress made by the FAA but is ""more interested"" in newer technology that provides lights to alert pilots. Light warning systems are being tested now and results should be available in six to nine months. If the system is determined to be useful, it will require several years before it is in most airports.
Icing continues to be a cause of serious accidents and the board declares more research is needed, particularly into freezing rain and large droplets. Citing one accident, staffers reported a Challenger CL 600 pilot did not deice his aircraft before attempting a takeoff because ""the engines should be able to compensate for the extra weight.""
Even a small amount of ice can cause airplane problems, staffers declared. One ice pellet — the size of a grain of salt — per one square centimeter can prevent an airplane from taking off.
FAA has been working on icing problems for nine years. Some solutions are now being looked at but, if adopted, would apply only to newly-certificated aircraft. Only a small number of aircraft are on the drawing board to which the technology would apply. However, it is possible older aircraft could be retrofitted.
NTSB staff members said the FAA was working with the industry to find solutions to icing problems, but noted it is difficult to move quickly when there are many differences of opinion. Staffer Debbie Hersman commented that the FAA's job is to make the rules, not to try to come up with something everybody will like.
Financing the FAA continues to be a major issue. The Inspector General of the Transportation Department now estimates that the cost of FAA's largest modernization programs have increased by $1.7 billion since they were first figured two years ago. This brings the cost to more than $5 billion above original estimates. This increase comes at a time when Congress must decide the future of FAA funding. FAA is leaning heavily toward user fees. The Air Transport Association, representing the major airlines, is pushing for them as well.
ATA President James May calls user fees the most equitable way for all users of the system to pay. He claimed the airlines use only 25% of the system but ""shoulder an unfair burden."" He also called for greater separation of planes to get slower aircraft out of the way of airliners.
How long general aviation interests will put up with this type of misinformation without challenging it is a puzzle. Airlines pay 4.5 cents per gallon fuel tax, less than the tax paid by general aviation. Passengers and shippers using the airlines pay. The airlines, however, collect the taxes and may retain the money for up to three months before turning it over to the government. In this way, they have the use of millions of dollars at no cost, which could come close to covering the little fuel tax paid.
In reality, an airline pays less to use the system than a corporate jet or a single engine pilot.
Isn't it time for general aviation to demand that airlines pay their fair share for using the system — or shut up?

The European Central Bank said on Thursday that recent economic surveys and indicators had shown signs of stabilizing, suggesting an improved picture later in the year.
"The economic weakness in the euro area is expected to extend into 2013," ECB President Mario Draghi said at a news conference. "Later, in 2013, economic activity should gradually recover.
"Several ... indicators have broadly stabilised, albeit at low levels and financial market confidence has improved significantly," he said.
He was speaking after the ECB held its main interest rate at 0.75 percent. Draghi reiterated the ECB's view that inflation, which held at 2.2 percent in December, would fall below 2 percent during the course of this year. The central bank targets inflation of below, but close to 2 percent.
"Over the policy-relevant horizon, inflationary pressures should remain contained," Draghi said.
The euro rose against the U.S. dollar after the rates decision to $1.3115, from $1.3096 beforehand.
All members of the ECB's Governing Council were in favor of keeping interest rates unchanged when they met, Draghi said.
He said bond yields and the cost of insuring against sovereign defaults were "significantly lower", while stock markets were stronger and less volatile.
Draghi also cited factors including strong capital inflows into the euro area and a rise in deposits at banks in periphery countries.
"But all this has not found its way through to the real economy yet," Draghi said, noting that the euro zone economy continues to be weak. "So there was no reason to change the medium-term outlook for price stability."
A Reuters poll published on Monday had pointed to the ECB keeping rates on hold, though the economists surveyed were split on the chances of a cut in the next few months.
An improvement in euro zone business morale in December, when a survey also pointed to a slowing service sector contraction, suggest a modest turnaround in the bloc after a grim fourth quarter.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- More than 60 Penn State students — including teams from campuses at New Kensington, Greater Allegheny, Berks, Lehigh Valley and Altoona — participated in the 2014 Smeal College of Business Case Competition, sponsored by Kohl's Department Stores.
Student teams in the competition address a Kohl's business challenge and present a 20-minute talk on their proposed solutions. At the end of the three-day competition, one winning team earns a $5,000 scholarship.
This year's winning team was The Solutioners, announced at the March 29 awards presentation. Team members included supply chain and information systems major William Belsterling, marketing major Madelyn Koch, finance major John Moran and accounting major Kaitlyn Schmeck.
"Public speaking was the biggest struggle for me, but now I know that I'm capable of doing a presentation."
-- Madelyn Koch, marketing major, Smeal College of Business
This was Koch's first case competition, but through the experience she learned just how much knowledge was applicable from her classes.
"Sometimes you wonder how you'll use the things in class, but we used a lot of things that we learned in putting the presentation together," Koch said.
The biggest challenge for her, she said, was delivering the presentation. Her team had to present their findings twice: in the first round and in the finals, both times to different sets of judges.
"Public speaking was the biggest struggle for me, but now I know that I'm capable of doing a presentation," said Koch.
After the first round of presentations, four teams were chosen to present in the final round, judged by Charles Whiteman, John and Becky Surma Dean of Smeal; Andy Gustafson, assistant professor of business administration; Katie Boscoe, senior vice president of Kohl's Department Stores; and Fred Hurvitz, Kohl's Professor of Practice in Retail.
"The final round was nerve-wracking," Koch said, "but it was really helpful that our first-round judges had given some feedback."
The Smeal Case Competition, sponsored by Kohl's, is an undergraduate competition that challenges students' knowledge, problem-solving abilities and teamwork skills to solve realistic business problems in a demanding 24-hour format. The 2014 competition was the fourth annual event.

ORIENTAL � The Old Theater in Oriental will present Neil Simon�s Tony-award winning comedy �Plaza Suite�on May 3 to 5.
Cast members come from PamlicoCounty, and range in age from 12 to well over39.
The show is directed by Lynn Whalen and produced by The Old Theater as a spring fundraiser.
The shows are at 7:30 p.m.May 3 and 4, with a 2 p.m.matinee May 5. The box office opens an hour before each show and the door open 30 minutes before the curtain rises.
Tickets are 12, with Old Theater member discounts available.
Tickets are available at Nautical Wheelers, Croakertown and Village Hardware in Oriental, or on the web: Showclix.com/event/PlazaSuite
Each of the play�s three acts takes place in Suite719of New York's Plaza Hotel. Each act features different characters with very different stories.
The showis a sophisticated blend of humor and poignancy, focusing on timeless issues such as changing relationships, aging and love.
Playwright Neil Simon's brilliant writing employs smart comedy to explore the complexities of the modern world.
The Old Theater provided this synopsis:
In �Visitor From Mamaroneck,� not-so-blissfully married couple Sam and Karen Nash take the suite where they spent their honeymoon. Sam seems a bit too preoccupied with work and soon his secretary enters the scene with papers that force him to return to the office for an emergency meeting. Has Karen cause to be jealous?
This wry tale of a marriage in tatters is followed by �Visitor from Hollywood,� about a movie producer who invites his childhood sweetheart to the suite to reminisce about old times. Is Jesse really moved by Muriel�s simpler lifestyle as a suburban housewife, or is the reunion merely a ploy for a little diversion?
The third act, �Visitor from Forest Hills,� revolves around married couple Roy and Norma Hubley on their daughter�s wedding day. In a rush of nervousness, �Mimsey� has locked herself in the suite�s bathroom and refuses to come out. It follows her parents� frantic attempts to cajole her into attending her wedding, while guests await the trio�s arrival downstairs.
The local show is produced by special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc. All proceeds go to the support of The Old Theater, a non-profit organization.

Confession: I am a granola addict. I make it every week, and when I was in India last January, it was the number one food I missed. I know, I know, the internet is full of granola recipes, but I have tried many styles and I think this way is really special! What I love about it most, besides the great flavor, is its amazing versatility. The ingredients are highly customizable to what you have on hand or prefer and it can be used to make chewy granola bars, crunchy granola bars, or crunchy loose granola. What more could you ask for? I am such a granola enthusiast that I actually like to divide the batch in half and do one pan of chewy granola bars for taking to school as snacks and one pan of crunchy crumbles to top my oatmeal with. Here is the general recipe, feel free to substitute your favorite nuts, seeds, and dried fruits.
The People's Granola
2 cups rolled oats (regular or gluten free)
1.5 cups chopped or sliced nuts (I used hazelnuts and almonds today)
1 cup dried fruit (I used mission figs, but cranberries are a favorite also), chopped if not already small pieces
1/2 cup unsweetened dried coconut
1/2 cup puffed rice or other puffed whole grain (adds great crisp and lightness)
1/4 cup sesame, sunflower seeds, or pepitas.
1/3 cup each: Peanut butter (or any nut butter), honey (vegans can use agave), brown sugar *If you have coconut oil on hand, add a tablespoon and use a little less of the former three. It will take it to a whole new level!*
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt (I love the salty-sweet combo- if you are not a fan or avoid salt, you can cut it down to 1/2 teaspoon)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Combine oats and nuts (not seeds or coconut yet) on a baking sheet and toast about 10 minutes, until just barely beginning to become fragrant. Add the seeds and coconut and continue roasting about 5 minutes longer, until everything is a light golden brown and smells fragrant.
Meanwhile, chop the dried fruit if necessary and combine the wet ingredients, either in a small sauce pan or in a microwave safe glass container, such as Pyrex. The saucepan method is more accurate, because you don't want to burn this mixture, but the microwave is a safe bet as long as you check it frequently.
When all ingredients are toasted, transfer them to a large bowl and add the puffed rice and the dried fruit. Stir to combine. Heat the wet mixture, either over medium- low heat on the stove, or in 30 second intervals in the microwave until the sugar is dissolved. Careful not to boil or burn it! A little bubbling is okay, but too much and it will dry rock hard. I like a caramel-like consistency, especially for the chewy bars.
Now you have to decide what kind of granola you want!
For chewy bars:
Line a baking dish with parchment paper or coat in with cooking spray and turn the mixture out onto it. Wet hands with cold water and press the mixture down until the granola is packed and even. Stick them in the freezer or refrigerator- they can be sliced once they have cooled. They will store well in the fridge for at least two weeks, at least up to a month in the freezer. I have never had them last longer than that in this house!
For Crunchy bars:
Follow the above directions, except instead of sticking them in the freezer, put them back in the over for about 15-20 minutes longer.
For Crunchy Crumbles:
Spray a pan with cooking spray and pour the granola on. Bake 15-20 minutes, stirring once or twice. Alternately, make crunchy granola bars and just crumble half and for cereal use.
What is your favorite way to enjoy granola?

Additionally we use the best quality silicon material so it does not wear and tear easily. Additionally, it is very non-porous so it makes the doll resistant to markings. So, realistic sex dolls will remain neat and clean for a longer period of time. Silicon dolls are made extensively stretchable; it can be stretched to almost four to five times in size. This feature makes the sex doll more tangible as well durable to use. It is not an exaggeration to claim that choose us if you are about to invest in a realistic silicon sex doll.

This is for the first time I see such encryption in exploits found in the wild.
This is used to bypass scanners, which searches for the exe header.

Exploring the online health information seeking experiences of older adults
Joanne Mayoh; Les Todres; Carol S. Bond
In this article we explore how the experience of searching for Online Health Information (OHI) becomes a meaningful activity in the lives of older adults living with chronic health conditions. A descriptive phenomenological approach was adopted to contribute to the overall understanding of individuals' lived experiences of OHI-seeking through an exploration of the consciousness of the experiencer. This article provides rich experiential descriptions that have the potential to make a contribution toward healthcare practice within the UK by providing healthcare professionals with an understanding of patient experience that can help them identify patients' needs and make improvements to care in terms of the quality of empathy and understanding for older adults with chronic health conditions. The findings also provide rich stories of older adults actively engaging in this form of health information seeking, data that could be used to challenge pre-conceptions that age is a barrier to using the Internet for this purpose.

Broccoli Puree
- Under 10 minutes to prepare
- 10-30 minutes to cook
- Makes lots of portions - ideal for freezing in ice cube trays for weaning
- Can be frozen
- Ingredients
- How to make
A handful of broccoli florets
A little water (if needed)
How to make
Step 1
Wash and halve the broccoli florets
Step 2
Steam until soft (approx. 20-30mins), either using a steamer or by placing in a colander over a pan of simmering water and covering (you could boil the broccoli instead, if you prefer)
Step 3
In a bowl, blend the broccoli to a smooth puree, adding some water if required (just enough to get the right consistency) – a hand blender will give the smoothest texture, but a food processor or blender can also be used
Step 4
For an even smoother texture, push the puree through a fine sieve
Recipe notes
All of our first weaning purees are here to help you get started. As you and your little one progress, why not add some herbs or spices to start gently introducing lots of exciting tastes and flavours.
*The Department of Health and the World Health Organization recommend nothing but breastfeeding for the first 6 months of a baby's life. At around 6 months your baby may show signs that they're ready for solid food.

Lightning Recall Downie, Reassign Mihalik to Norfolk
Tampa Bay Lightning Executive Vice President and General Manager Brian Lawton announced today that the club has reassigned prospect defenseman Vladimir Mihalik to the Norfolk Admirals (AHL) and have recalled prospect forward Steve Downie from the Admirals.
A 6-foot-7, 222-pound native of Presov, Slovakia, Mihalik has recorded two assists with the Lightning this season in seven games. He has averaged 12:11 in ice time with four shots on goal. He had a two-game assist streak from January 4 to January 12 (missing two games in between starts). The 22-year-old was drafted by the Lightning in the first round, 30th overall, in the 2005 NHL Entry Draft.
Mihalik appeared in his 100th career AHL game on Saturday night in Norfolk versus Manchester. The native of Presov, Slovakia, has appeared in 32 games with Norfolk this season scoring two goals and six assists with 30 penalty minutes. In 100 career AHL games – all with Norfolk – Mihalik has three goals and 24 points.
Downie, a 5-foot-10, 192-pound native of Newmarket, Ontario, has posted eight goals and 16 assists for 24 points in just 18 games for Norfolk this season. He was named an AHL All-Star earlier this week. Among his notable accomplishments with the Admirals this season are a franchise-record tying four-assist game on December 13 versus Bridgeport, a hat trick on December 27 versus Philadelphia and an Admirals season-high eight-game scoring streak from November 16 – December 27 during which he registered five goals and ten assists.
Downie was acquired by the Lightning from the Philadelphia Flyers on November 7. Prior to the trade, he also appeared in four games with the Flyers' AHL affiliate, the Philadelphia Phantoms, recording one goal and seven assists. In 22 total AHL games this season, Downie has nine goals and 23 assists for 32 points. In 44 career AHL contests between Norfolk and Philadelphia, the second-year professional has scored 14 goals and 40 assists for 54 points.
The 21-year-old has also appeared in 14 NHL games this season between the Lightning and Flyers. He has appeared in eight games with the Lightning, scoring one goal and 16 penalty minutes. With the Flyers, Downie had 11 penalty minutes in six games. Downie has appeared in 46 career NHL games between Tampa Bay and Philadelphia, recording seven goals and 13 points. He also appeared in six games with the Flyers during the 2008 Stanley Cup Playoffs, registering one assist and ten penalty minutes.
Downie was originally drafted by Philadelphia in the first round, 29th overall, at the 2005 NHL Entry Draft. He played in 190 career junior games with Windsor, Peterborough and Kitchener. He amassed 82 career goals and 234 points. He also appeared in 43 OHL playoff games, recording 18 goals and 53 points.

WASHINGTON, May 21 (UPI) -- A member of Congress who led an investigation into the BP oil spill in 2010 expressed outrage that a judge threw out a charge against a former BP executive.
U.S. District Judge Kurt Engelhardt from the Eastern District of Louisiana dismissed a charge of obstructing a congressional investigation into the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, ruling the indictment was flawed.
Former BP Vice President of Gulf of Mexico Exploration David Rainey was accused of underestimating the volume of oil spilled in May 2010. Engelhardt said Rainey didn't fully understand he was responding to a formal congressional investigation when he made his statements.
U.S. Rep. Ed Markey, D-Mass, ranking member on the House Natural Resources Committee, called on the U.S. Department of Justice to appeal the decision.
"This was a congressional investigation, plain and simple, and this kind of narrow and off-the wall interpretation of how Congress investigates wrongdoing is deeply troubling," Markey said in a statement.
Rainey, testifying in a closed-door briefing in May 2010 before Markey, who was the chairman of the House committee, said the flow rate from the Macondo well that failed in 2010 was about 5,000 barrels per day. BP's internal records suggested the flow rate was closer to 60,000 bpd.
Rainey's lawyer Reid Weingarten told Bloomberg News the court's decision "gutted the government's case" against his client. Rainey faces trial in October on charges he lied to investigators about the spill.
Justice Department spokesman Peter Carr told Bloomberg News federal officials were reviewing Engelhardt's decision. Engelhardt was nominated to the federal bench in 2001 by President George W. Bush.

Patient Safety
I'm Taking Care of My Health PDF brochure
Patient Safety is a team effort. Both patients and health care providers, including everyone from clinical staff, senior executives, trainees, administrators and support services, play an important part in minimizing risk and improving safety.
Patients can do a lot of small things to make their healthcare experience as safe as possible. This useful brochure, entitled "I'm Taking Care of My Health" was produced by the Ministère de la Santé et des Services Sociaux. It provides a number of helpful tips for preparing for appointments with healthcare professionals.
From an organizational standpoint, the MUHC employs numerous mechanisms that aid in the continual prioritization of patient safety.
For example, Required Organizational Practices (ROPs), an integral part of the Qmentum accreditation process, represent essential practices that minimize risk and improve patient safety. Examples of ROPs include comparing medication lists when patients are admitted/transferred/discharged (medication reconciliation), reporting incidents and accidents to the appropriate supervisor and the Quality, Patient Safety and Performance Department, speaking with the patient if an issue occurs which requires disclosure, staff education on hand-hygiene, and the prevention of falls, etc.
Accreditation Canada has developed Required Organizational Practices (ROPs).
The MUHC designed its own ROP logo.
The essence of the ROPs is really about the frontline staff, and the activities they do, day-in and day-out, to minimize risk to patients and improve patient safety. In order to reflect that spirit the MUHC redefined the ROP acronym to say that we are Relying On you for Patient Safety.

The Casualty Process, my favorite indie rockers from Iran, just released their debut, a 5-song EP called (Un)even. Right now you can download it for free on their website. There's also a donation button in case you'd like to send a little love their way. Their music, in case you haven't heard it before, is edgy electronic rock, influenced by the likes of Nine Inch Nails and Depeche Mode. Apparently the new EP has been quite popular — so popular in fact that the site got overloaded for a while yesterday. Everything seems to be working fine today.
Check out my previous article about The Casualty Process and the related band, The Plastic Wave: Great indie rock from Iran (You didn't think Iran had any of that did you?)
Also, the Casualty Process is currently on tour in the U.S. (I hope they stop off in Austin at some point). You can see some of their live performances on their Vimeo page.
Here's a performance featuring Saeid Nadjafi (aka Natch), Shayan Amini, and Shirley Ho in the role previously filled by Iranian female vocalist Maral Afsharian in The Plastic Wave.

3rd August 2017
Exams results lie just around the corner, but in truth the education sector itself has been examined like never before over past few years, not least over the course of the last General Election. But what's perhaps most interesting for those of us with a communications background, immersed in the sector on a daily basis, is that there are a number of issues, some highly topical and others bubbling away in the background, which speak volumes about the wider direction of travel.
We've considered some of these as part of our 2017 Education Trends Report, which is downloadable, below.
Many of today's issues offer an insight into the themes we can expect the Higher Education institutions we work with, to face in the years ahead. The current tuition fees agenda tells us a great about the emergence of the student population as 'consumers', actively seeking value for money from their fees – it's why we are seeing universities place great emphasis on upping the number of contact teaching hours; it's why we've seen Jo Johnson ask the Office for Students (OfS), which comes into being next year, to consider a sector-wide university-student contract to improve protection; and it's why three of the six metrics for the new Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) directly form the annual student survey.
That's just one example. Brexit and the widening skills gap, opens up a larger conversation around social mobility, not least how we tackle the unspoken challenge of social mobility – the fact that student retention rates and graduate outcomes for students from disadvantaged backgrounds have scarcely improved in the last two decades.
As one of the country's leading communications companies and a specialist in education communications, we continue to be privy to some truly fascinating innovations in the education sector. But we also know that due to the pace of change, few in the sector have yet had time to catch their breath and start to think about the next set of key communications challenges that lie ahead.
For the sector, now is the time to take stock and start strategy planning. The expert team at Grayling are on hand to host planning, strategy and messaging sessions, but in the meantime, our Education Trends Report for 2017 offers food for thought.

First off, this is a text book knee-on-knee hit, it's a bush league hit, it's dirty and it deserves a suspension. I do not care that Taylor Hall is a super star.
I also, find it hilarious that Edmonton Oilers fans are defending this hit on twitter tonight. Second; would the NHL referees, please stop rescuing the players that do these hits on the ice. Whenever Matt Cooke or some other hack does something like this, the refs and linesman immediately come to their aid, don't. Screw-em they deserve what they get. They just hurt someone, they deserve what they get. Hall didn't care about Clutterbuck as he was trying to end his season with that dirty leg check.
Let the players have some say on the ice before you throw them in the box or send them to the locker room. The hockey code demands that an act this be answered to, if not this kind of stuff will fester for a very long time, until you end up with Todd Bertuzzi type incidents.
First point of contact on Hall vs. Clutterbuck after replay showed in press room. Knee on knee

Brodziak on Hall: "First thing I did was ask the refs if it was dirty. They said yes. We just hope (Clutterbuck's) all right."

Buffoon of the day (from a comment on Sports Net)
tbizz17 Feb 22, 2013 9:54 AM in response to: sportsnet_ca Re: Oilers' Hall delivers questionable hit
Clutterbuck's one of the dirtiest players in the league...he deserves every bit of that. If the guy didn't bail out at the last second that's a clean hit...it's when guys start jumping out of the way that knees get tangled...a guy like Clutterbuck should have his head up all the time....he would have done the same thing to Hall if it's the other way around. I'm not a fan of either team, but sometimes you reap what you sow and Cal learned that. He won't miss a game...it's his thing to role around on the ice for a while after a hit...

"Fareed Zakaria GPS," Sundays at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. ET on CNN
By Fareed Zakaria
The scenes of chaos and strife in Egypt that you've been seeing during the second anniversary of the Tahrir Square uprising are just the latest and most vivid illustration that Egypt's revolution is going off the rails.
It has revived talk about the failure of the Arab Spring and even some nostalgia for the old order. But let's remember, that old order was doomed. Arab dictators like Hosni Mubarak could not have held onto power without even greater troubles; look at Syria.
But events in the Middle East the past two years do underscore something I've long believed that constitutions should take precedence over elections. Let me explain.
Watch the video for the full Take.
Its akin to choosing between development and growth. Which comes first? You can not develop without growth.
Fareed Zakaria has it wrong here by saying that all Middle Eastern dictators were doomed by the so-called "Arab Spring". Yemen is ruled by Saleh's right hand man, Hadi and the kings of both Saudi Arabia and Bahrain are still very much in power!
The same argument was made to me, personally, by a senior minister of China... 20 years ago. When asked about the then rapid moves of Russia toward elections, he responded that China was a lot better served developing its economy and educating its people... that democracy before that would lead to chaos (anathema in Asia) with little chance to serve the citizens. He was also quite critical of we Americans for suggesting otherwise. Frankly I was a bit insulted.
And history has shown I was wrong.
That Chinese minster was quite right in what he said, mitdgreenb. Today, what Egypt needs is Socialism rather than a bourgeois democracy and certainly not a pseudo-democracy similar to Iraq and Libya!
You are correct-but the people did not think that -who said the people are always right?
When you keep removing my comments just realize that you do not have freedoms , you are an Imperial Parrot., that is all. I have a lot more freedom than you.
My comments were not politically correct and you removed them to fool the American people and to keep them misinformed-that is precicely why the US is in trouble. Enough for tonight.
If you look more broadly at the big picture you would find in my opinion many promising signals 1) 2 years ago there was no hope for democracy and no visible to reach even an unbiased election. 2) Few months ago there was no visible way to get the military out of the political scene but now they are partially out. It took decades for turkey to get civilian control over the military. 3) Even that chaos going on indicate that people are became politically involved and overcame the fear even though there is still excessive use of force by police. That can be evidenced by the ability of the demonstrators to reach the presidential palace and even crowl over the doors. 4) ther are more than one islamic party competing (moslem brotherhood versus salafis parties) which can help prevent a theocratic dictatorship like Iran.
My overall conclusion is that there is a long way to go for Egypt in order to reach a stable democratic fate.
Ok-scientist-so after all this what did you get? Your peoples problems are at best the same-but from my observation after a recent visit the people are saying they are worse off. So how mr.Scientist does all this democracy help?
When people have no jobs, or money-can i feed them democracy crap?
Well he is right- arab spring has been a failure.These countries have no chance of economical revival in the next 10-20 years.As for syria- arab spring which is another name for western instigation through ngos and other methods is doing the same thing it did in other countries- the people will suffer and continue to suffer.
Evolution is always more desirable than revolution. It all depends on the powerholders, whether they are keen to tread the path of change or reforms, when they see their citizens taking to the street. If they don't read the writing on the wall, people will spark a revolution, which also means to bring down the current political system and build something new.
The censorship on this web site by CNN proves that real freedom of speech is not allowed here...
Fareed is right to an extent. Egypt freely elected another dictator. But revolution always produces much more significant change then evolution. Especially when the previous governship was dictatorial in Nature. The only reason that revolution in the ME has not produced significant change is that any new govt. will be significantly rooted in the muslim religion and it's restricted freedoms.
I beg to differ. Bcos of history, culture, customs, economic and sociail background, one cant compare and assume always democracy will work for every nation – China is very different from US & EU. Imho, I think only developed nations can handle n implement democracy. When is comes to mideast, I dont think democracy will ever work. There is no such thing as Islamic democracy and democracy cannot work if there is no secularism. I m not so sure if Islam religion is a not curse. Is sharia law compatible with democracy, human rights and secularism. If it is not , why then most if not all islamic nations insist on sharia laws even at its infant stage of democratisation? Is the muslim mindset of muslims shackled by its religion? Why are muslims nation the poorest in the world? why are muslim nations always at war within ? If not for oil, there is no rich muslim nation such as SA, Bahrian, Qatar, UAE etc? Is Islam impoverishing muslim nations? I thot islam is the religion of knowledge, tolerance and peace BUT why then are muslim nations so backward, abject poverty and always killing one another?
It has not even been 2 years since the start of the Arab Spring, far to soon to judge its affects. Consider the United States, from the Declaration of Independence till the 1st president took office under our current stable government was 13 YEARS. Only half of which was spent on the revolution itself, with a half dozen years left over for infighting, riots, failed governments and a barely aborted military coup.
Yes, the Mid East is very different from the early US, but my point is that changes in nations are slow and often messy affairs and just because progress isn't happening on some arbitrary timeline doesn't meant it has failed.
It's high tide for America to speak of evolution verses revolution. In some States evolution is hardly thought.
Can these people "in general" comment on a Middle East Evolution or Revolution?

The Epstein Barr virus, or EBV, is often the causal factor in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. EBV is a type of herpes virus, and was first described in the medical literature in 1964. It has been estimated that this virus infects most of the adult population worldwide, although most exhibit no symptoms. It is only in recent years that many physicians are attributing a wide range of clinical complaints to this virus.
The diagnosis as well as the treatment of Epstein-Barr virus is a subject of controversy among many in the medical profession. However, from a clinical point of view, EBV can be effectively managed with diet, lifestyle changes, and natural therapeutics. One supplement which has shown promising results for my patients is the amino acid L-Lysine. As most of you know, lysine became a popular nutritional supplement several years ago as a result of the medical reports on its therapeutic use for the herpes simplex virus. As early as 1974, a research group published a study indicating lysine's effectiveness in suppressing recurrent attacks and speeding the healing time of the herpes virus. In these early studies on lysine, it was found that when the herpes virus invades a cell, it alters cell metabolism and results in the synthesis of proteins which are high in the amino acid arginine and low in lysine. From this data, it was postulated that a high lysine to arginine ratio in the cell could serve as an inhibitor to the virus. Studies on blood levels of lysine have supported this notion, as it has been shown that increases in blood levels of lysine have corresponding significant decreases in recurrence rate of herpes outbreaks. And conversely, the frequency of attacks increase as the concentration levels fall below certain levels in the blood.
In a later study at the Indiana University School of Medicine, subjects were given an average daily dose of approximately 1000 mg of lysine. 84% of those surveyed said that the supplementation prevented recurrence or decreased the frequency of infection. Whereas 79% described their symptoms as severe or intolerable without lysine, only 8% voiced these complaints when taking the supplement. 90% of those who did not take lysine indicated that healing took 6 to 15 days, but 83% of those that took lysine stated that the lesions healed in 5 days or less. This study reported overall effectiveness in 88% of the cases.
Although there are no published studies on the use of lysine with EBV patients, I have seen that it can be effectively used in the overall management of the symptoms. I have found that a between-meal dosage of 1000 mg, two to three times daily is beneficial.
Herbal medicine has a long tradition of application in the treatment and prevention of immune-related disorders; and viral conditions such as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome are no exception. And the popular native American herb Echinacea is the place to start. Echinacea (E. angustifolia and E. purpurea) is considered to have anti-inflammatory and immune-stimulating properties. It encourages anti-viral activity, as it increases the number of white blood cells that "engulf" microbial invaders such as those found in acute and chronic viruses. Although its mainstream use in America is increasing, Echinacea has been widely studied in Europe, where over 50 over-the-counter preparations are available to treat conditions such as colds and influenza.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Serena Williams enters the second week of the U.S. Open believing she cannot be considered the greatest of all time unless she wins the most major championships.
The most dominant player of her era, America's world number one will meet Spain's 18th-seeded Carla Suarez Navarro in the quarter-finals of the U.S. Open on Tuesday.
The 31-year-old Williams has won 16 majors to trail Margaret Court (24), Steffi Graf (22), Helen Wills Moody (19), Chris Evert (18) and Martina Navratilova (18) on the all-time list.
"I go by the numbers," Williams said. "I don't think I'm the greatest, because Steffi has way more majors than me. I just go by what's written down. I would not put me as the greatest. You still have Steffi and all those other women that have way more grand slams than me."
Williams is a headline act of the U.S. Open and arguably the most famous female athlete in the world. But she denied part of her mission against Suarez Navarro would be to entertain.
"I'm literally going out there to play, I'm not thinking about being a star," she said. "I don't go out there thinking like that.
"I just want to play tennis and I want to do really good at it. It's not about the stage for me. It's just about getting that ball in."
The other quarter-final on Tuesday will place China's fifth seed Li Na against 24th-seeded Russian Ekaterina Makarova.
An all-Italian affair between Roberta Vinci and unseeded Flavia Pennetta will be staged on Wednesday with the last quarter-final between Slovakia's Daniela Hantuchova and either Victoria Azarenka or Ana Ivanovic.
The round of 16 match between Azarenka, the second seed from Belarus, and Serbia's 13th-seeded Ivanovic was postponed on Monday because of rain.

The fictional Scranton paper company made famous by The Office has moved into reality and will soon be carried through Staples.
The Wall Street Journal reports:
Staples' Quill.com has struck a licensing deal with NBC's parent company to launch a Dunder Mifflin brand. Priced largely above private-label copy paper, the Dunder Mifflin packages will be emblazoned with slogans such as "Our motto is, 'Quabity First' " and "Get Your Scrant on," well-known phrases from the comedy series.
It's surprising that it took six years for a real-life company to pick up on the Dunder Mifflin paper brand.
While it's exciting for fans of The Office, it's also a little weird. For one, Staples—the company now touting the overpriced reams—is Dunder Mifflin's competitor on the show. And it's bad timing, since Dunder Mifflin was already bought out and The Office crew now works for printer-maker Sabre.
Perhaps Staples can make use of this rejected Dunder Mifflin jingle:

Says Hazel Thompson on her six-month project photographing women in Bahrain:
I went in with a preconception of the veil that got in the way. (And - by the way - to integrate, I did wear a hijab, especially if I was walking around, especially if I was in a mosque.) What I didn't realize was how ambitious the women are. They run their families and are extremely successful. They're doing really well. One of the women I followed started the first fashion house in Bahrain. They are having a choice in career. They're so determined - anything they can get their hands on to become more educated, to up their skills. That's one thing I didn't expect.

Study Led by Indigenous People Uncovers Grizzly Bear 'Highway'
by AMNH on
A novel, First Nations-led research collaboration has revealed a previously undocumented grizzly bear aggregation in coastal British Columbia, one of the most southerly aggregations of salmon-feeding grizzlies in North America. Using non-invasive DNA analysis, the authors describe a grizzly bear "highway," identifying nearly 60 individual bears, many who travelled hundreds of miles from surrounding areas to feed on autumn-spawning salmon in the Koeye River. The research was guided by the customary law and cultural practices of the Heiltsuk First Nation and recently published in the journal Ecology and Society.
Conducted over three years, the study also provides potential early evidence of a declining bear population in the area and links this to the decreasing availability of salmon. The project demonstrates a model for resource management by indigenous people, in which research is embedded within a socially and culturally appropriate framework.
"What's really novel here is the set of relationships, and deep cultural histories, that guided applied conservation science," said Chris Filardi, director of Pacific programs at the American Museum of Natural History's Center for Biodiversity and Conservation and an author on the paper. "In this collaborative setting, results are directly relevant to tribal leadership impacting conservation in ways that elude most scientific studies."
The study was centered in the Koeye River Conservancy, one of numerous protected areas designated by the Heiltsuk First Nation in the Great Bear Rainforest of British Columbia in 2009. The Heiltsuk people settled in this area more than 9,000 years ago and are now reasserting their rights as guardians of the Koeye River. To realize this renewal, they established the Qqs (Eyes) Projects Society, a Heiltsuk-driven nonprofit that builds capacity for research, monitoring, and tribal governance of high-value stewardship areas. In 2006, the Heiltsuk people partnered with the Museum and The Nature Conservancy to implement a grizzly bear survey project with a unique dimension: from the outset, the study was designed to uphold the Heiltsuk Nation's Gvi'ilas, or customary law, a set of guiding principles that frame a worldview focused on core values.
"What appealed to us was the opportunity to root science in strong cultural stewardship frameworks," said Qqs' William Housty. "We articulate specific Heiltsuk laws and customs related to respect and reciprocity and match them with scientific tools and knowledge to put those principles in action."
During the survey, grizzly bear hair was collected as the animals walked by scented wire snares set up in the area during salmon-spawning season. As part of the non-invasive aspect of the work, the "baits" did not provide rewards to the bears visiting the snares.
At the same time, the team calculated the accessibility of salmon to bears with an index based on the number of salmon that return to the Koeye each year; water flow; and water visibility. Over the three-year survey, they found a decreasing population of bears in the Koeye, likely tied to declining salmon accessibility.
"This study shows that protected areas are not enough. We knew that bears are wide-ranging, but this study shows how vulnerable they are to a variety of threats," said Richard Jeo, a staff scientist for The Nature Conservancy. "Scientific insight can help guide management but the fate of these bears and the rainforest where they live is still largely in the hands of a few First Nations."

GranFondo Canada today announced the launch of the Whistler GranFondo, North America's newest Gran Fondo cycling event. Set for September 11, 2010, the Whistler GranFondo will ride from Vancouver through to the resort town of Whistler along British Columbia's world-famous Sea to Sky highway.
"We've been working diligently with stakeholders and communities along the route for two years," said Kevin Thomson of GranFondo Canada. "Participants can expect a dedicated cycling lane the entire route from Vancouver to Whistler and a premium cycling experience from start to finish."
Now taking the athletic world by storm, Gran Fondos (loosely translated from Italian as "big ride") appeal to recreational cyclists and racers of all abilities and ages. Making the lore, pageantry and mythology of cycling accessible to the "everyday" rider, numerous Gran Fondo's have launched recently in North America.
This newest entrant promises a route rivaling the scenic vistas of the Alps as riders climb 2400 metres (almost 8000 feet). Riders will be fully supported with multiple aid stations and roving mechanical assistance, with a full rest stop at the half-way point in the town of Squamish. Along the way riders may compete for "primes" (or mini timed races) along particularly challenging sections.
The Sea to Sky Highway has undergone major upgrades in the past few years in preparation for the 2010 Olympic Games, including the widening of the highway and new pavement and grading. Riders will enjoy a smooth, unblemished ride over the entire 120 kilometre (74 mile) route.
The event, long-rumored in the Lower Mainland BC cycling community, will open to limited registration on December 18, 2009. Both a full Gran Fondo and Medio (half distance) will be offered on September 11, with the the Medio starting in Squamish and finishing at Whistler. Individuals or teams may enter either event.
Finishing in Whistler Village with live music, a beer garden, massages and a rider expo, the finish line is intended to be a celebration for both rider and spectators.

One of the best ways to get into the holiday spirit is to sit on the bench outside Peabody Senior Center in the early afternoon on Mondays and Thursdays and take in the delightful scent coming from the center's kitchen. Pfeffernusse! Peppernuts!
The seniors have started their annual peppernut project and are baking the traditional Christmas cookies for several hours twice a week. Twenty-three volunteers were on hand Monday, the first baking day on this year's schedule.
Mixing the dough starts at about 12:15, after the center lunch, announcements, and cleanup.
The dough is forced into a long cylinder-shaped tool with small holes drilled into the sides. Small dots of dough fall out of the holes onto a cookie sheet. The cookie sheet is carried to a card table where three or four volunteers arrange the tiny cookies in rows for baking.
"We work until about 2 or so in the afternoon on peppernut days," said Judy Mellott, senior center vice president. "We like to have about two dozen volunteers for baking day. With that number, we can usually produce 40 lbs. of cookies each work day."
Mellott said that volunteers do not need to be seniors or need to attend the noon meal to help with the peppernuts.
The cookies are packaged in 1-lb. bags. The group will work two days a week for the next four weeks to mix, bake, and package 320 lbs. of peppernuts. The sale of the Christmas cookies is the major fundraiser for the center.
"We sell the cookies from here at the center and sell them at Pop's Diner and Peabody Sausage House," Mellott said. "The center also has regular customers who provide the traditional German cookie to friends and family as far away as Nevada and New York."
Peppernuts have a long and varied history with different countries and different recipes getting credit for the origins of the popular holiday treat. The same can be said of the senior center tradition — the process has been streamlined, the recipe probably has changed a time or two, and the current group of volunteers likely does not remember the first year the cookies came out of the oven.
"You know, I am not sure how long this has been going on," Mellott said. "A long time — I am going to guess a dozen years or so."
Long enough to make sure their annual product is a popular one, long enough to get the process down to a fine art, and long enough to become part of family holiday traditions across the country.
For more information or to volunteer, contact Peabody Senior Center at (620) 983-2226.
