Seniors in the Knox County area, can rest a little easier…

Now that the U-S Postal Service is teaming up with the Penquis agency, on a pilot program called &quot:Carrier Alert&quot:.

It’s up and running in other parts of the U-S..

It involves mail carriers who keep a watchful eye over older folks.

Seniors register with Penquis, and are given a special sticker to put in their mailboxes.

That lets mail carriers know to report anything they see that may be out of place to the Penquis Agency.

And according to Jen Brooks with Penquis, the agency would then call either the person’s emergency contact or police…

&quot:Where someone has fallen, and been down for a few days, and not been able to get to a phone, or they’ve been out of oil and have been cold…and so there have been some instances where this has really made a difference in some body’s life.&quot:&gt:

So far, eight Knox County post offices will participate, along with Penquis of Rockland.

Anyone in the Knox County area that’s interested in signing up should call Penquis at 1-800-585-1605.

IH Apothecary Detachment

An Iron Hands Legion Apothecarion Detachment during the Drop Site Massacre of Istvaan V

An Apothecarion Detachment was a specialised support unit of the ancient Space Marine Legions used during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy eras in the late 30th and early 31st Millennia. These healers carried the most sacred trusts of the Legion -- the care of its fallen and the promise of its future. This small detachment consisted of 1 to 3 Apothecaries which served as battlefield healers, tending to the wounded and the maimed and to recover the sacred gene-seed from slain Legionaries. Outside of combat, these Legion Apothecaries were responsible for monitoring the Legion's Neophytes for mutation or flaws in their gene-seed and Astartes organ implants and for carrying out the implantation process in their Legion's Aspirants.

Legion Apothecaries were charged with maintaining the bodily health of their Battle-Brothers. Serving as battlefield healers it was the Apothecary's task to proffer aid to the wounded, return the injured back to the fray and minister final mercy (the Emperor's Peace) to those in need of it. For those beyond help, they also had the onerous duty of recovering the Legion's gene-seed zygotes for implantation in future generations of Space Marines. These tasks required skill, learning and above all else, courage, for it was one thing to fight an enemy, and quite another to turn from battle and tend to the fallen in the midst of war when all around was a whirlwind of slaughter, heedless of safety.

Unit CompositionEdit

  • 1-3 Legion Apothecaries

Each Apothecary is assigned to one of the following squad types in a Space Marine force during deployment:

  • Power Armour
  • Diagnostor Helmet - Apothecaries often replace their usual helmet with a Diagnostor Helmet, which contains upgraded Auto-senses and readouts to assist with their charge of treating the injured and maintaining their Battle-Brothers’ physical combat readiness.
  • Chainsword
  • Bolt Pistol
  • Frag Grenades
  • Krak Grenades
  • Narthecium - The tool of an Apothecary’s trade, a Narthecium contains implements specially designed for Space Marine physiology and for performing first aid without having to remove the patient’s Power Armour. It also comprises various counterseptics, skin patches, transfusions and other compounds engineered for the Space Marines’ physiology, and several stasis tubes for storing recovered gene-seed.
  • Reductor - Retrieval and storage of a fallen Battle-Brother’s gene-seed is so critical that Apothecaries carry a special tool for this operation. While a Reductor is not required for Progenoid removal, it significantly reduces the time. This surgical implement fastens under the wrist. It includes a monomolecular saw for penetrating Power Armour and Ossmodula-enhanced rib cages, and a diamantine-tipped extractor drill.

 Gutting open enrollment in Oregon would gut this rural town - Watchdog.org

Gutting open enrollment in Oregon would gut this rural town

By   /   May 5, 2015  /   No Comments

Photo of Hayden Bridge, Alsea, OR by Sandy Horvath-Dori

The rural school district of Alsea which has thrived because of the competition from open enrollment is now under fire in the Oregon Legislature.

By Chana Cox, PhD | Watchdog Arena

ALSEA, Ore.—In Alsea, Oregon, a town perched in the coast range about 25 miles from the Pacific, Superintendent Marc Thielman runs the only school district in the state with virtually total open enrollment—a policy now facing pressure in the Oregon Legislature.

Open enrollment was introduced by the Oregon Legislature in 2011 and was signed into law as House Bill 3681. HB 3681 allowed parents to transfer students to schools outside their home districts provided that the receiving schools would accept such transfers.  Oregon also allows for inter-district transfers.

The main difference between the two is that with open enrollment, students do not have to get permission to transfer from their home districts.  In the case of inter-district transfers, they do. Home districts can simply prohibit all inter-district transfers, or they can take so much time to approve a single transfer that the school year is almost over before the student is allowed to transfer.

Since all state and federal money goes with the student, such permission to transfer was rarely granted before HB 3861’s passage.  Open enrollment gave students the greater freedom to transfer, and to Thielman, that freedom to compete has been Alsea’s saving grace since the economic downturn in the 1980s.

In the 1970s, Thielman says Alsea was a thriving logging town with a “full service” downtown, two timber mills, logging, and a Forest Service Office.  The school had 300 students enrolled in K-12, and had “served as the town’s heart and focal point for the community” since the 1940s.

Environmental battles beginning in the 1980s resulted in the shut-down of logging on almost all public forest land in Oregon. Alsea now has no timber mills, no logging, no Forest Service office, no “full service” down town, and a population of only 800.

When the Alsea school district hired Thielman as the superintendent and principal in 2011, the school had only 117 students. Nevertheless, Thielman was committed to keeping the school alive by attracting open-enrollment students from surrounding school districts.  “The economic engine may have left, but the heart of the community still beats with the school,” Thielman told Watchdog Arena.

Thielman believed that a small rural school district could compete with its neighbors if the culture shifted to generate real academic results and if students from neighboring districts were free to attend such schools.  He set about making the Alsea school attractive to out-of-district students.

Thielman and the school district showcased Alsea’s comprehensive use of individual student achievement data to guide academic instruction, their modern Science department led by Rozeanne Steckler, PhD, their vibrant journalism program, and 120 online high school courses – a necessity for a rural district with so few students. Over 50 people attended the first meeting the school district organized for interested parents, and by the end of that meeting, 17 non-resident students had enrolled in Alsea’s elementary school.

Later, Thielman began a bussing service to communities within an hour drive of Alsea in order to transport more students. The Alsea school has grown from 117 students to 173 students. The district holds school for four days a week and 8.5 hours per day with a student-to-teacher ratio of 13:1. If a student is not suited to the Alsea educational style, they are free to transfer to neighboring districts.

The district is now the largest employer in Alsea with 13 unionized teachers and 21 other employees.  It serves as a community center, hosting school-related events, memorials, basketball tournaments, carnivals, and more.

Although state and federal funding travels with the student, such funding generally covers only about 2/3 of education costs per student. Alsea is managing to educate students without the additional funding from property taxes and levies from the open-enrollment students’ home districts. Thielman says the Alsea community is very committed to the school district and provides support through donations, fundraising, and attending student events and games.

Since open enrollment’s passage, the entrenched educational establishment in Oregon has fought to eliminate choice and competition, and tensions with neighboring school districts have grown.  Portland Public Schools, with 48,000 students and 81 schools, does not open any slots for students to transfer into. However, under the law, they are still prevented from denying students who are resident in their district from choosing a school out of the PPS District which does offer openings.

The efforts to overturn open enrollment began in 2012 when state Rep. Ben Unger (D-Hillsboro) wrote a bill to repeal the law, which failed to pass.  When that failed, the educational establishment introduced and passed amendments to weaken open enrollment including provisions prohibiting open enrollment schools from busing and advertising.

Currently, open enrollment is scheduled to sunset in 2017.  State Rep. Julie Parrish (R-Tualatin/West Linn) has sponsored a bill to extend the sunset date.  She told Watchdog Arena that if parents and students could testify, legislators would see how successful open enrollment has been in districts where it has been allowed some freedom to work.  The Parrish bill to extend open enrollment has not been scheduled for a hearing, and is unlikely to get a hearing given the current membership of the Oregon’s House Committee On Education.

Instead, Senate Bill 709 would absorb open enrollment into inter-district transfers, which would allow home districts to veto all transfers.  If passed, SB 709 would effectively gut open enrollment, well before it is scheduled to sunset in 2017.

How will small districts like Alsea respond?  Thielman says the Alsea school district is now considering “biting the bullet and chartering the district.” He says, “Charter schools enjoy federal protections from the inter-district transfer police.  They have year-round open enrollment with no transportation reimbursement restrictions.”

Even if Alsea converts to a charter, Thielman still believes open enrollment will have served an important purpose. “Alsea stands a model of education innovation.  We had a choice to continue to shrink and wither, or change and grow.  We chose change.  In order to do open enrollment, we were forced to speak of our strengths, and then build on them.  This strategy is one that works and is entirely repeatable in other schools/communities.”

Mike Leyland a Early Australian Documentary Maker

Mike and Mal Leyland, also known as The Leyland Brothers, were Australian explorers and documentary film-makers, best known for their popular television show, “Ask the Leyland Brothers”. The show ran on Australian television from 1976 until 1984.

The two brothers first came to prominence in the late 1960s and reached a peak of popularity in the 1970s, often providing Australian viewers with their first look at outback Australia.

.................................................Mal and Mike Leyland.

I was one of thousands of Australians who watched Mike and Mal Leyland (The Leyland Bros.) when their T.V. show “Ask The Leyland Bros.” began in 1976. Their show was filmed in the Super 8 format and was a little amateurish, but this was the appeal of the show. Nobody had ever made a show like this before, giving the average Australian a view of places that most would never get to. It showed that the average “Joe” could take their 8mm family movie camera outdoors to the outback and record their own holiday documentary. This also inspired me to film my own holiday film and edit it with music and commentary. I’m sure that Steve Irwin would of also been influenced by the Leyland Bros. Where Steve was outgoing and flamboyant, Mike and Mal were the opposite, somewhat shy, quite, and in the early days softly spoken.

When television came, that was 1956 I actually won a trip to the Olympic Games. And I wasn't going to enter the competition but my father said, "If you do, I'll buy you a movie camera." And I won a trip, so he had to cough up with a camera - a little square, spring-driven camera, which I took to the Olympic Games and shot some footage down there. But it sort of got me going. The first footage I shot with it was around Lake Macquarie at home, trying a roll of film with the family standing beside the car.

There was no film and television school that I know of, so the only way to learn about it was to buy books. So I bought an old Land Rover and set off on a trip to Ayers Rock. My brother was with me, and his mate, and we set off to drive out to Alice Springs in 1961 in January, which was a real dumb thing to do. But we knew nothing about what we were doing, really.

While I was shooting news, I had this dream in the back of my head to actually shoot an expedition. All the books that I'd read said the secret to selling a documentary was to do something for the first time. So I picked up a map of Australia and thought, "What can we do that won't be too expensive and too far away?" Looked at New South Wales, and there was this wriggly line going through it - the Darling River. And no-one had done it and it was 1,400 miles. So this was the start of the Leyland Brothers - the first thing we ever did as a team. The trip that was supposed to take a month actually took us three months.

We were the first people to ever actually film Ayers Rock in the rain. So we edited up a one-hour version of it, which we sold to Channel Nine, because they'd bought 'Down the Darling'. Then we started screening it. We showed it in Newcastle, the first screening we had, and it was a huge success. And that continued for three months. And in that three months, we made a profit of $60,000 and the bank. By the time we started 'Off the Beaten Track', Mal had also got married. The four of us were involved in the different processes of making the film. I was still the director/cameraman but Pat was the second camera. She did a lot of film work. Mal was the sound man and the still photographer and Laraine did sound.

In 1956 Mike won a trip to the 1956 Olympic Games in Melbourne from a cartoon drawing competition, and his father bought him a 16mm movie camera to take along.

By the age of 21 Mike was a news cameraman at NBN. By the age of 18 Mal was a cadet at Newcastle's now defunct newspaper The Sun.

In 1980, Mike and Mal Leyland were awarded the MBE in the New Year’s honours list (the only time brothers had simultaneously received such an award) for services to the film industry.

Their television programmes constantly achieved the highest prime time ratings and have never been off air in 28 years.

After the 1992 bankruptcy caused by the failure of their theme park, Mike and his wife Margie ran a New Lambton video store and worked for the park's new owner, while Mal and his wife Laraine ran a photo processing lab in Queensland and launched a travel magazine.

In 1997 Mike sold part of his Tea Gardens property to fund the production of a far north Queensland film for Channel Seven. Mike and his wife Margie signed a contract with Channel Seven for 12 one-hour documentaries, the first of which aired in 1998 in “The World Around Us” slot.

In 1997 Mal and Laraine launched a bi-monthly magazine, Leyland's Australia.

In 2000 Mal produced the television show Leyland's Australia, with his wife Laraine, daughter Carmen and her husband Robert Scott - travelling around Australia in a caravan. In April 2000 Channel 9 cancelled the show after 6 episodes the series was then picked up by Network Ten.

T.V. Documentaries

1963 - Down the Darling - A trip from Mungindi, Queensland, to Mildura, Victoria, following the 2,300 kilometre course of the Darling River, Australia's longest river, in a small aluminium boat. An accompanying book was titled Great Ugly River was published by Lansdowne Press in 1965.

1966 - Wheels Across a Wilderness - Driving two Land Rovers from Steep Point, Western Australia, across the centre of the continent to Cape Byron, New South Wales. The trip was also published as a book, Where Dead Men Lie.

1969 - Open Boat to Adventure - A six month journey from Darwin to Sydney in an 18-foot open boat, following the coast around Arnhem Land and Cape York. The book was titled Untamed Coast.

It's this photo I will remember Mike and Mal, with a camera in the outback of Australia ready to film another episodes for their T.V. show.

Mike was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease about two years ago but had suffered most in the past two months. The family announced that 68-year-old Mike passed away on Monday morning following complications from Parkinson's disease.

Hi Warren ~~ Another well researched post with a lot of info about both the both the Leyland Brothers. They had a hand in quite a few money-making businesses and were full of ideas. Sorry to hear about Mike's death and Parkinsons is a rotten disease - a couple of relatives had it.
And of course Michael J Fox. I just bought his book called, "Always Looking Up." He says he is a very lucky man and has a really wonderful life.
Take care Warren, Those Chinese Ballet dancers were terrific, thanks. Love, Merle.

Transport For Christ

Last night we went to the annual Transport for Christ fund raising dinner. This makes our second time attending and really enjoyed ourselves. Tickets were $15 each and there was plenty of food that was served to us.

Transport for Christ is a ministry that reaches out to Truckers and their families all throughout the U.S.A.  TFC is currently serving truckers and the trucking industry with six chapels in Canada, two in Russia, and one (a building) in Zambia. There are twenty-six chapels in the USA and two area where ministry is being held inside the truck stop-Holland, Michigan, and Brunswick, Georgia.

This is how they build a Chapel from a Truck Trailer. Then they take it to a truck stop where truckers go to stop, rest, and have their meals and a shower. This year alone (as of this date) they have reached out and ministered to 20,000 people and 90 people have given their lives to the Lord! This is an amazing ministry that is making a large difference in people’s lives.

After the dinner and silent auction of different things you could bid on, there was a Christian Concert. The Gabriel’s sang and did a great job.

Porter Robinson And Madeon Drop Anime Companion For “Shelter”

Porter Robinson and Madeon have been captivating audiences across the country as their collaborative Shelter tour continues underway, and now they’re bringing the song that started it all back to the forefront with the release of an animated companion for the track. Premiered in Tokyo, the new video for “Shelter” features a fitting anime style and we can’t imagine a better representation of the single.

The storyline to “Shelter” follows a 17 year old girl named Rin, trapped in an artificial vacuum of loneliness as she uses a futuristic, tablet-like device to immerse herself in a new virtual world each day. Blending science fiction elements and dreamy visions, the six minute long short film recounts the tale of how she came to be stuck in this simulation as we revisit her childhood memories.

The “Shelter” animation features some breathtaking production values and an emotive storyline, serving as the perfect visual tie-in to the song. It’s great to finally see a worthy anime set to one of Porter Robinson‘s songs as well, whose work has frequently touched upon the medium as a source of inspiration.

Charlotte's Plan To Address Homelessness Will Not Include Bench Removal

Aug 12, 2014

The city of Charlotte won’t be removing benches from uptown to try to address homelessness… at least not for now. The the group that came up with the idea withdrew its request to the city.

The city’s homelessness task force asked Charlotte Department of Transportation this month to remove almost all benches from within a block of Trade and Tryon Streets for 30 days. The Task Force includes representatives from shelters and other groups that work with the homeless, Center City Partners, CMPD, Mecklenburg County, and the Charlotte Housing Authority. The idea behind temporarily taking out the benches was to encourage homeless people to go to shelters instead of sleeping on the streets. But less than a week after making its request, Center City Partners asked city manager Ron Carlee to table the idea. The group was not available for comment. Carlee says it became a distraction. Instead, he says he’ll work with the task force to come up with a plan that’s quote “appropriate and respectful of all people with or without homes.”

CMPD says the number of homeless people congregating in uptown is increasing. Crime is also growing; police say that includes crimes committed both by and against the homeless. The bench removal idea was part of a 10-year effort to address homelessness in Charlotte. Shelters are working to increase capacity and to expand services including job and substance abuse counseling.

  Mon. 8/10/09 9:36pm trouble:

they had big, laminated backstage passes hanging off their stylish british attire, with stylish british accents. And they were taking waaaay too long to decide what can of soda to purchase from a vending machine. sure sign of a tourist.

Rochester N.Y.- A guilty plea today from a school bus driver arrested a year ago this month for allegedly driving drunk when she crashed her bus at a gas station.

Amini Kellum was driving for First Student Bus Company. She denied she was drunk but her blood alcohol level was slightly above the legal limit. She crashed the bus at a station on Mt. Read Boulevard after dropping off students in Brighton.

It is expected that she will be sentenced to five years probation and will have to use an ignition interlock device to drive.

Structure for Architects - Beam System Tips

Structural Beam Systems are a very quick way to make your Architectural model more intelligent. Depending on your workflow and your consultants, it may be up to you to ensure that structural elements are not interfering with your beautiful architecture.
Here is a few tips for using Structural Beam Systems:
  • Structure usually holds up the roof - it is situated underneath a roof. In keeping with What Revit Wants - set the Workplane for the Beam system to the Underside of the Roof! Then, when the roof pitch changes, the Beam system will update. And you don't have to mess around trying to match angles etc between the Beam system and the roof. Thanks AUGI.
  • Work in 3D - this way you can see what is happening and see what Revit is doing.
  • Use Fixed Distance / Centre justified and tweak the distance to 'fill up' the roof - this way you can get around the fact that Beam systems do not create an 'edge' beam by default.
  • Have a look at the 'International' Revit content if you can't find the structural families you need.
  • If you are struggling to get a beam to the edge of the system, offset the system lines outwards by 50 or 100 mm.
  • Keep in mind that an 'Automatic' Beam System needs a perimeter of structural beams to work nicely.
  • If you need to, hack into and modify the Structural Beam Systems to suit your needs. For instance, you may not need the 'Coarse' heavy lines - just delete them out of the family and make the 3D extrusion visible in all modes (Coarse, Medium, Fine).
  • Play with Object Styles to make the Structural Beams look nice in your Architectural documents.

About Dalkeith

The town is split into four distinct areas: Dalkeith proper with its town centre and historic core, with Eskbank to its west and Woodburn to its east. Eskbank is the well-heeled district of Dalkeith with many large Victorian and newer houses. To the south of Eskbank is Newbattle with its abbey. Woodburn is a working class council estate built from about 1935 onwards. Dalkeith is the main administrative centre for Midlothian. It is twinned with Jarnac, France. In 2004, Midlothian Council re-paved Jarnac Court in honour of Dalkeith and Jarnac's long standing link. There is an estate called Thornyhall on the edge of Dalkeith near the industrial estate beyond which is the newly-built Dalkeith Campus - housing the high schools of Dalkeith and St David's.

Conan O'Brien Has A Day Of Healthy Torture At A Korean Spa

He loses a full layer of skin.

  • Source: / Via:

    Conan O'Brien and Walking Dead actor Steven Yeun visited Wi Spa, an authentic Korean spa in the Koreatown district of Los Angeles, in one of the funniest remote segments from Conan in a long time.

    There's certainly a language barrier here, which Conan takes full advantage of, asking fellow spa goers to touch his breasts, and encouraging an attendant to let him know if the "scrub down" is going to hurt. (Note: It does.)

Each year we look forward to the judging; it is amazing to see what converters around the world can do with the inks we supply them. It’s encouraging to see that our customers become more and more sophisticated in their printing – truly pushing the bar in cutting edge designs and application of inks.” explains Mike Buystedt, Director of Sales for Flint Group Packaging and Narrow Web.

PIA Says Paper Prices Stable For Now

Thursday, April 11, 2002

Press release from the issuing company

Alexandria, VA (April 10, 2002) – What will happen to paper prices as the economy and print markets recover? Will they continue to stabilize or even fall as they did last year? Or will they spike as they did as the economy and print markets heated up in 1994 – 1995? According to Dr. Ron Davis, chief economist for PIA, a trade association that represents over 13,000 companies in the manufacturing sector, "Most indicators point to continued stability or softness--at least for the short run. Printers' paper costs were down about one percent for 2001. As of January, printing and writing paper prices were down by 1.8 percent from January of 2001 based on government data." U.S. paper production declined by 5.8 percent in 2001 after falling 2.5 percent in 2000. Overall, printing and writing paper prices declined in 2001. Davis further stated "The wave of paper company mergers and acquisitions over the last few years is an attempt by paper companies to reduce over capacity in the paper industry. Although there has been some mill re-structuring there is still plenty of worldwide capacity coupled with a generally soft worldwide demand." Davis expects that," based on the current global paper supply demand, stable paper prices through the remainder of the year." "However, paper markets may start to tighten in 2003 as economies in other parts of the world recover. We may see an alignment of growing economies throughout the world in 2003, which may result in rising paper prices," Davis cautions.

Olympic Rings

Elite athletes can serve as healthy role models for today’s but it is important for parents to balance the image of a successful hero with the realities of life behind the scenes to help put a human face on Olympic-sized success.

According to Dr. Gail Beck, Director of Youth Outpatient Psychiatry at The Royal in Ottawa, will learn the most from role models who they can relate to and have demonstrated hard work to achieve their goals.

Beck said many of the profiles that appear during Olympic coverage do a good job of illustrating the commitment and effort that goes into becoming a world-class competitor in addition to highlighting the community of supporters – from parents to coaches – who make invaluable contributions along the way.

“You’ll see these athletes engaged in practices of their sport, talking to their coaches, you cannot see those and make any mistake about how hard they have to work to achieve their goals,” She said. “This isn’t luck.”

In addition to underscoring how hard their role-models have worked to become successful, Beck stresses the importance of reminding that everyone – however powerful or prominent in their field – is subject to human frailties.

Beck references examples like Ben Johnson, Canada’s decorated Olympic sprinters whose gold medal was rescinded as a result of steroid use, to illustrate how balancing a ’s admiration with the realities of life will help prevent disillusionment and confusion if someone they look up to does something wrong.

“A 10 or 11 year old is very likely to idolize a sports figure thinking everything this person does is perfect, so if that sports person happens to fall from grace, there can be this huge disappointment,” Beck said.  “It’s important to always balance the good of the person with the fact that everybody has had to overcome some challenges.”

Many Olympic athletes, like cyclist and speed skater Clara Hughes, have used their platforms for good, going on to become advocates for worthwhile causes like mental health awareness.  Beck said it’s a valuable lesson for children to see their heroes making contributions outside of their field and using their talents and fame to make a larger difference in the world.

The "Beast" gets new license plates
January 15th, 2013

The "Beast" gets new license plates

(CNN) – In a sign of solidarity, President Barack Obama will begin using the standard license plate for the District of Columbia, which famously states "Taxation Without Representation," on presidential vehicles, a White House official confirmed Tuesday.

The move comes after the city council for Washington, D.C. petitioned the president last week through a resolution, demanding that Obama use the license plates as millions watch his presidential motorcade drive down Pennsylvania Avenue for his inauguration on Monday.

"President Obama has lived in the District now for four years, and has seen first-hand how patently unfair it is for working families in D.C. to work hard, raise children and pay taxes, without having a vote in Congress," the White House official said in a statement.

In the back yard of a house in Marietta Georgia.

I drove over to the house that was less than 10 miles from where I worked. I knocked on the door of the home and waited. I knocked again and waited. Nobody home.

I didn't feel comfortable walking into the back yard with nobody home, nor did I feel comfortable taking pictures of the house. I was saddened that this will be the first coordinates not reached in several months. I might make it back after work to see if anyone has made it home.

I got to within 500 feet of the hash spot. I took a few picture of the back yard and then returned to work.

Cerebral contusion, Latin contusio cerebri, a form of traumatic brain injury, is a bruise of the brain tissue. Like bruises in other tissues, cerebral contusion can be caused by multiple microhemorrhages, small blood vessel leaks into brain tissue. Head CT scans of unconscious patients reveal that 20% have hemorrhagic contusion.[2] Contusions are likely to heal on their own without medical intervention.[3]

Signs and symptoms

Contusion can present with weakness, lack of motor coordination, numbness, aphasia, and memory and cognitive problems.[4] Signs depend on the contusion's location in the brain.[4]

The interior of the skull has sharp ridges by which a moving brain can be injured.

Often caused by a blow to the head, contusions commonly occur in coup or contre-coup injuries. In coup injuries, the brain is injured directly under the area of impact, while in contrecoup injuries it is injured on the side opposite the impact.

Contusions occur primarily in the cortical tissue, especially under the site of impact or in areas of the brain located near sharp ridges on the inside of the skull. The brain may be contused when it collides with bony protruberances on the inside surface of the skull.[5] The protuberances are located on the inside of the skull under the frontal and temporal lobes and on the roof of the ocular orbit.[6] Thus, the tips of the frontal and temporal lobes located near the bony ridges in the skull are areas where contusions frequently occur and are most severe.[7] For this reason, attention, emotional and memory problems, which are associated with damage to frontal and temporal lobes, are much more common in head trauma survivors than are syndromes associated with damage to other areas of the brain.[8]

Contusions, which are frequently associated with edema, are especially likely to cause increases in intracranial pressure (ICP) and concomitant crushing of delicate brain tissue. Contusions are also more likely to result in hemorrhage than is diffuse axonal injury because they occur more often in the cortex, an area with more blood vessels.[9]

Contusions typically form in a wedge-shape with the widest part in the outermost part of the brain.[10]

Multiple petechial hemorrhages

Numerous small contusions from broken capillaries that occur in grey matter under the cortex are called multiple petechial hemorrhages or multifocal hemorrhagic contusion.[9] Caused by shearing injuries at the time of impact, these contusions occur especially at the junction between grey and white matter and in the upper brain stem, basal ganglia, thalamus and areas near the third ventricle.[9][2] The hemorrhages can occur as the result of brain herniation, which can cause arteries to tear and bleed.[9] A type of diffuse brain injury, multiple petechial hemorrhages are not always visible using current imaging techniques like CT and MRI scans. This may be the case even if the injury is quite severe, though these may show up days after the injury.[2] Hemorrhages may be larger than in normal contusions if the injury is quite severe. This type of injury has a poor prognosis if the patient is comatose, even with no apparent causes for the coma.[2]

Cerebral lacerations

A cerebral laceration occurs when the tissue of the brain is mechanically cut or torn.[11] Lacerations require greater physical force to cause than contusions,[11] but the two types of injury are grouped together in the ICD-9 and ICD-10 classification systems.

Frequently occurring in the same areas as contusions, lacerations are particularly common in the lower part of the frontal lobes and the tips of the temporal lobes.[11] When associated with diffuse axonal injury, the corpus callosum and the brain stem are common locations for lacerations.[11] Lacerations are very common in penetrating and perforating head trauma and frequently accompanying skull fractures, but do not require skull fractures to form.[11] Lacerations, which may occur when brain tissue is stretched, are associated with bleeding.[11]

Toothache Will Disappear in A Few Seconds If You Put This In Your Mouth

Toothache is caused by irritation of the tooth nerve, dental infection, gum disease, plaque, tooth decay, loose filling or tooth injuries. It can be very painful and is considered one of the worst pains you can experience – it will prevent you from doing your daily activities and affect your mood.

The usual treatment for toothache includes a trip to the dentist, who can determine the underlying cause and treat the problem properly. However, if you need a quick fix for the ache until you get to the dentist, there is a simple natural remedy that can help.

Toothache is especially unpleasant if it occurs overnight – you can’t go to the dentist and the pain is becoming stronger by the minute, leaving you without rest and making you lose your mind. Luckily, the remedy we’re presenting today will help you get rid of the pain until you get proper help in the morning. Here’s how to prepare it:

Half a teaspoon of clove powder
Half a teaspoon of coconut oil

Mix the ingredients to form a paste, then apply the remedy on the painful area and tooth and the pain will be gone soon. Repeat the procedure up to 3 times a day.

The remedy works due to the presence of eugenol in cloves, a powerful analgesic compound that can numb pain just as well as commercial analgesics. Try this incredible remedy the next time you’re having a throbbing toothache and you’ll get some much needed relief.

TTB Issues Final Approval of New Grape Variety Names for American Wines

The TTB has issued their final ruling on proposed grape variety names for use on domestic wine labels. The TTB’s statement on the ruling is below, as is the link to the final rulemaking.

This document adopts, as a final rule, a proposal to amend the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau regulations by adding a number of new names to the list of grape variety names approved for use in designating American wines, and to include in the list several separate entries for synonyms of existing entries so that readers can more readily find them. These amendments will allow bottlers of wine to use more grape variety names on wine labels and in wine advertisements.

Effective Date: This final rule is effective November 28, 2011.

While I've been harshly critical of Microsoft's decision to split Windows Vista into far more product editions than is sane or reasonable, we can at least give the software giant credit for making Windows Vista easier to purchase than any previous Windows version. In addition to the typical retail and PC bundle versions, Vista can be acquired in a variety of other ways, including electronic distribution via Windows Marketplace and semi-legal OEM versions via online retailers. (For a sarcastic look at these and other Vista purchasing options, check out my showcase, Having Fun Purchasing Windows Vista.)

One of the nicest additions to this panoply of choices is Windows Anytime Upgrade, an online service built into Windows Vista Home Basic, Home Premium, and Business editions, which allows you to electronically upgrade from one of those versions to a higher-end Vista version. The versions you can upgrade to, and the cost of that upgrade, will depend on the version you're starting from. Here's a chart explaining what's available, and the pricing (in the US):

Upgrade from... ...to Vista Home Premium ...to Vista Home Ultimate
Windows Vista Home Basic Yes ($79) Yes ($199)
Windows Vista Home Premium n/a Yes ($159)
Windows Vista Business n/a Yes ($139)

Pricing, as you can see, is heavily discounted over the traditional retail Upgrading packaging. If you're running Windows Vista Home Basic, Home Premium, or Business, upgrading in this fashion is probably the way to go: The Windows Anytime Upgrade price for Vista Home Premium is $159, while the retail upgrade price for Vista Ultimate is $259. That's a $100 savings.

This feature has changed dramatically

Microsoft, sadly, has significantly detuned the capabilities of Windows Anytime Upgrade since first launching the service alongside Windows Vista in early 2007. Now, instead of allowing users to electronically purchase a new Windows Vista product key electronically, Microsoft is restricting the program to physical packaging only. You can order this package directly from Microsoft via the Windows Anytime Upgrade utility in Windows Vista, but I recommend turning instead to one of the many online retailers who offer these upgrade versions instead. (NewEgg.com and Amazon.com are two I can recommend.) You'll get the software much more quickly.

Tip: Make sure you know what you're getting, as there are different Windows Anytime Upgrade packages for each potential upgrade. That is, if you're running Windows Vista Business and would like to upgrade to Windows Vista Ultimate, make sure you're buying the Windows Anytime Upgrade version that is specific to that scenario, as other versions won't work.

What you're buying with a Windows Anytime Upgrade is a retail Vista Setup DVD (which you may or may not already own, as all retail Vista Setup DVDs are identical) and a Product Key that is specific to your upgrade type.

How it works

You can access the Windows Anytime Upgrade application from the Control Panel (it's hidden in System and Maintenance) or by typing anytime in Windows Start Menu Search. (It's also available from Welcome Center and from within the System window. Yes, Microsoft is very keen to get more of your money.)

When you click the link titled Compare the editions of Windows Vista, you're shuttled off to Internet Explorer (or your Web browser of choice), which navigates to Microsoft's Windows Anytime Upgrade Web site.

This Web site presents the various Anytime Upgrade prices as noted in the table above and a link, Compare your options, which provides a run-down of the various features in each Windows Vista product edition.

Purchasing is straightforward: You click the Buy button next to the Windows Anytime Upgrade option that's relevant to your situation (say, Business to Ultimate). Then, IE navigates to a secure e-commerce site so you can make the purchase. Then the waiting game begins. So much for the "Anytime" part of this offer.

Once your Windows Anytime Upgrade package arrives in the mail, you can upgrade from one version of Windows Vista to another just as you would if you were upgrading from Windows XP to Vista: Insert the Windows Anytime Upgrade disc into your PC's optical drive while Windows Vista is running and then run Setup (via AutoPlay or manually). The Setup routine provided by this disc is identical to that of other retail Vista Full or Upgrade Setup discs.

For some reason, upgrading from one version of Windows Vista to another takes an astonishingly long time. Be prepared to leave your PC unattended for one to two hours.

Once Setup is complete, verify that you're now running the correct product edition by visiting the System window (Start, right-click on Computer, choose Properties.)

Secret: You will have to activate Windows after any Anytime Upgrade even if the system was previously activated. But the standard 30-day grace period applies here, too. You can use the information in Delaying Product Activation later in this chapter to delay the activation up to 120 days if you'd like.

Final thoughts

Windows Anytime Upgrade is a great idea, but the removal of an electronic upgrade makes it much less attractive. That said, the original version of the service was also problematic, since it provided a new Product Key electronically, but no Setup DVD. Because many PC users just didn't have the required disc, they had to wait for Microsoft to mail them the physical media. If you don't mind ordering the Windows Anytime Upgrade disc via an online retailer, this process, while slow, works pretty well. And it's certainly preferable to the alternative of paying full price for a retail upgrade version of Vista.

Study on Cat Offspring

New study: Cats can recognize whether their offspring are excited or distressed by the type of their meows. Scientists from the Stiftung Tierärztliche Hochschule Hannover (TiHo) and the Hannover Medical School (MHH) have discovered this. In addition, the question was raised as to whether male cats respond differently to their offspring's calls than females. Apparently, this is the case.

Curious kitten

In their study, Dr. Marina Scheumann of the TiHo Institute of Zoology and Dr. Wiebke Konerding of the Research Department of the MHH observed eight female and nine male cats - while they played meow-recordings of slightly and highly excited young animals. Half of the cats already had experience with their own offspring. In addition, the females usually raise the offspring alone.

The Duration and Pitch of the Meow Vary

In a previous study, the researchers had already found that the duration and the pitch of the meows vary with the urgency of need for help. According to Konerding, the female cats responded ten per cent faster to sounds produced by highly excited animals. The male cats showed the same reaction as with "low-excited kitten sounds".

Female cats are therefore able to react to the degree of need of the young animals - regardless whether they already have experience with offspring or not. According to the pitch and duration of the calls, they recognize how urgently they must intervene. Scheumann says: "The results show that the gender-specific breeding behavior has an influence on the reaction towards kitten's sounds." It remains to investigate whether this is due to sex-specific activation patterns of the brain or can be explained by different motivations.

The results of the study are published in BMC Evolutionary Biology.

The "Sit and Stare" Policies used against Test Resistors are Daily Practice in Many Charter Schools

For the past year, I have been working with, and trying to get legal representation for, parents whose children have been forced to "sit and stare" during standardized tests they have refused to take. This punitive policy has outraged parents and Test Refusal advocates throughout New York State and has resulted in mass pressure tactics which have persuaded many school districts- but not all- to eliminate the practice
Given the appropriate level of outrage this practice has generated among people in the Opt Out movement, it is important to understand that this practice was not invented for their children-- it has long been prevalent in "zero tolerance" charter schools that have proliferated in inner city neighborhoods in recent years.
Schools like those associated with the K.I.P.P. charter chain, the "Uncommon Schools" chain where NY State Education Commissioner John King was once a principal, and Eva Moskowitz's "Success Academies" have long made a practice of disciplining allegedly "unruly" students by making them sit and stare at a wall for hours at a time. Indeed, it is through disciplinary measures like this that these schools have used to drive out students they deem difficult who they fear might lower test scores as well as undermine school discipline
This is yet another reason why parents, teachers and students in suburbs and rural areas must communicate with the counterparts in the inner city, and vice versa. No one is living in a bubble, and abusive education policies pursued in one area will inevitably spread if they are not exposed

Lansing Mayor Virg Bernero says he is temporarily dropping a plan to consolidate city police operations in a single location.

WKAR file photo

The East Lansing City Council votes tonight on a proposed budget that could give residents some short-term relief from tax hikes.

Lansing mayor Virg Bernero is presenting his proposed 2013 budget to the city council.  Last November, voters approved a public safety millage that enabled the city to reduce its projected deficit to between $5 million and $7 million -- roughly half of what it was last year.  But to close the remaining gap, the mayor’s plan asks many city employees to either take up to 26 days off without pay or pay more for their health insurance and pensions.  Mayor Bernero tells WKAR’s Kevin Lavery that the furlough days are on a sliding scale.

Tackling Violence in Our Schools

Is violence on the rise in our schools?

Earlier this week, the General Assembly passed a bonding package allocating $22 million to strengthen school security across the state.

That news came shortly after the fatal stabbing of a Milford high school student, and just one day before the stabbing of another student right here in Hartford.

This hour, a look at violence in our schools. We talk about how school safety has changed over the past 20 years and discuss some of the efforts being made to make our schools safer.

Jennifer Lawrence Talks Puking in Front of Miley Cyrus [VIDEO]

Subscribe to Big 97.5 WOKQ on

We previously reported the glorious news that Jennifer Lawrence revealed to Seth Meyers that she once tossed her cookies in front of Miley Cyrus — and now, we finally have J. Law’s admission on video. This is a must-see!

When the ‘X-Men: Days of Future Past’ actress stopped by the ‘Late Night with Seth Meyers’ in an episode that aired last night, May 21, she revealed that she let a little loose at the 2014 Oscars — setting the scene for the puke story heard around the world.

Lawrence’s date for Hollywood’s Biggest Night was her best friend, Laura, and “she was a terrible influence on me,” J. Law joked. “We, like, left, and she was like, ‘Meet me at the bar,’ and so I snuck out and I was like, ‘Oh my God, I can’t do this,'” the ‘Hunger Games’ star recalled, flapping her hands. But she did — and the two ran into Brad Pitt, and J. Law called him over at her bestie’s request. (He apparently smelled like sandalwood.)

After the shenanigans of the actual awards show were over, it was time for the after-party — a ritual that Lawrence had never partaken in but now decided she needed to see for herself.

“I was like, ‘This time I am going out,’ and I puked,” she revealed. “There was this big fancy party, there was this big Guy Oseary and Madonna party. If you get invited, you’re like, super important,'” she joked in her trademark sense of humor. “And I puked, on his porch.” Yikes!

“I was in such bad condition,” J. Law continued, “and I look behind me while I’m puking, and Miley Cyrus is there like ‘Get it together.'”

We’ve said it once and we’ll say it again: If Miley Cyrus is telling you to get it together, you know it’s time to call it a night!

Watch Jennifer Lawrence adorably recall the embarrassing moment above.

Man-dae Bong – Masitneun sex geurigo sarang AKA Sweet Sex And Love (2003)

A girl, bored with her current relationship, dumps her boyfriend and starts a new relationship. The new relationship goes well and they move in together, but things start to go downhill.

Comments from imdb:
Though this movie will certainly be remembered much more by its numerous erotic scenes, which though carefully choreographed still won’t be to everybody’s likings, the other its part shouldn’t be overlooked however; it deals with love and everyday problems of life being spent together. Overall, it’s a sad story about love between two people and their up’s and down’s while they are together swimming through everyday life.

Japan 0-0 Greece: Feisty Ten Man Greece Salvage Draw; Match Highlights [VIDEO]

The second 0-0 result of the World Cup will be seen as a massive chance blown to get three points by Japan, who enjoyed a one man advantage for the best part of an hour and dominated possession. Greece defended resolutely but could have easily snuck away with a victory had they converted their chances.

The lack of cutting edge in both sides was evident throughout the match. While the draw was not lifeless, the play in the attacking third was poor.

As expected, Greece lined up with Konstantinos Mitroglou as the central striker flanked by the diminutive Fetfatzidis and Samaras, who was the only one of the front three retained from the starting line-up against Colombia. In defense, Fernando Santos kept faith in the central pairing of Kostas Manolas and Sokratis Papastathopoulos whilst Katsouranis was entrusted to pull the strings ahead of them.

The greatest surprise was, by far, Japan Manager Alberto Zaccheroni’s decision to start Shinji Kagawa on the bench as the attacking quartet of Honda, Okazaki, Okubo and Osako were preferred. Yamaguchi partnered Hasebe in midfield as there was no placed for Japan’s most capped player, Endo, in the starting eleven.

From the beginning, it was quite clear that Greece were happy to soak in the pressure and capture Japan on the break. The Asians’ main threat during the first half came from the forward runs of the left wingback Nagatomo and the patient build-up play of their front quartet.

After ten minutes, Kone embarked on a mazy run which ended in a central shot easily dealt with by Kawashina. Osaka and Okubo were both unable to significantly test Karnezis in the Greek goal from good shooting areas whilst Honda had a free-kick from just outside the box parried away.

Mitroglou’s miserable past few months continued as he succumbed to injury with 10 minutes of thr first half remaining after Hasebe seemed to accidentally hit his right hip area with his elbow. Things went from bad to worse for Greece as their captain for the day. Katsouranis was sent off for a second bookable offence. Karagounis was promptly introduced to take up his position in the middle of the park.

The second half started with Samaras trying to catch the Japan keeper off his line from kick-off but his effort went well wide. Kagawa’s introduction after 58 minutes was met with cheering from the Japan fateful. On the hour mark, Kawashima did well to parry a headed shot from Gekas who had entered the field of play in Mitroglou’s place.

Kagawa’s first real impact on the game came soon after as he executed a pinpoint pass over the whole Greek defense to release Uchida, only for the latter’s cross to be poorly met by Okubo a few yards from goal. Time and time again, Japanese attacks were thwarted by a resilient defense – reminiscent of the European Championship winning team of 2004 – and good goalkeeping.

Zaccheroni refused to play with more than one central striker as the second half progressed as Greece, aided by Salpingidis’ introduction, defended with two banks of four in a 4-4-1 formation which proved to be effective.

The final result does little to alleviate fears of a first round exit for both teams. However, the Greeks, more so than their opponents, will feel that, in difficult circumstances, they’ve given themselves a chance to fight another day.
