Miller to Head Up Linedata's Asian Business
Andrew Miller has joined Linedata Services to head up and grow its Asian businesses.
"My key objective is to grow and expand Linedata's offering in Asia, which means introducing more of the Linedata product suite to existing clients and developing the market for products which have not previously been introduced in Asia," says Miller.
Previously, Miller was managing director of Xinhua Finance's Asia Pacific region overseeing sales, operations and technology development. "Linedata has developed a solid base in Asia through the acquisition of Beauchamp, which offers a front-to-back office portfolio management solution for the hedge fund community," he adds.
"Client demand is strong in Asia and Linedata determined it should be a key region for expansion and a major area of growth for the company over the next couple of years," explains Miller.
The key part of Linedata's strategy will be the introduction of additional core asset management software, as well as strong product support and services in the region, says Miller. He will also be hiring additional employees in the region, which already has a team of about 50.
"Having over 15 years of experience across the financial services sector, my knowledge of local markets, language skills and previous experience helping technology companies grow in Asia will all be useful assets as I support the expansion of the Linedata brand," says Miller.

Brook speaks upon his latest injury
Kell Brook has voiced his dismay after sustaining a rib injury in sparring that forced him to withdraw from his scheduled July 3rd bout with Michael Jennings.
It is the fourth time a fight between the two pugilists has been scrapped and the Sheffield welterweight has told of his upset at missing out once again on a contest with the Chorley man.
In an exclusive interview with BoxRec News, Brook (photo by Steve Parkin right, sparring with Liam Cameron), the number one contender for the WBO's world crown, said: "I've had to pull out because I injured my ribs in sparring. They're really sore and Dom (Ingle – his trainer) has said I probably won't be able to spar for the next couple of weeks, which is no good because if I fight Jennings I need to be able to spar."
With the fight eagerly anticipated in British boxing circles, the injury is a huge blow to aficionados of the sweet science and the Yorkshireman echoes the fans' emotions, sharing his protracted frustration. "It's doing my head in. I'm absolutely devastated," said Brook.
"I was really looking forward to the fight with Jennings. I think it's the fourth time the fight has fallen through now and it's really disappointing. I want to fight Jennings and I've been saying that after my last couple of fights. But it's all up in the air now with the injury."
Switch-hitter Brook's proposed assignment with Jennings would have provided an indication of how the former British champion stacked up in relation to the welterweight division's protagonists.
In 32-year-old Jennings, Brook would have encountered an opponent with experience of competing at world level, albeit a defeat at the hands of Puerto Rican Miguel Cotto for the WBO's welterweight title in February last year.
Brook and his trainer Dominic Ingle would have hoped the Wincobank fighter could dispatch Jennings quicker than the five rounds it took Cotto to do the job. Such a victory would have sent a warning shot through the division and signalled that Brook was primed to mount an assault on the world stage.
But 24-year-old Brook, who was ringside to see his friend Ryan Rhodes' resounding triumph over Luca Messi at Ponds Forge in Sheffield last Friday, is just hoping he can get back in the ring as soon as possible and share in some of his fellow Yorkshireman's success. "It was a great performance from Ryan. He did the job," Brook said.
Dean Powell, matchmaker at Frank Warren Promotions, said he was unsure of the severity of Brook's rib injury and at this stage was not in a position to predict when Brook might make a return to the ring. "We are awaiting a report detailing the damage so we'll have to wait and see," Powell said. "It's unfortunate but these things happen in this business."
Powell confirmed that John O'Donnell, who recently vacated his Commonwealth title, would replace Brook in the matchup with Jennings to be held at Preston's Guildhall. The pair will now square off for the British title vacated by Brook in April earlier this year.
Asked whether the British public are destined to be deprived of the Brook vs. Jennings spectacle, Powell said: "It's difficult to tell. You never know."
Powell did, however, state that Brook would certainly be contesting the vacant WBO title at some point down the line and he was sure not to rule out the possibility of Brook meeting the winner of the rearranged match.
Undefeated Brook made a triumphant return to the ring against Krzysztof Bienias in his last outing in March after eight months of inactivity and he will have his fingers crossed that he is not subjected to a similar spell on the sidelines.
The Steel City's rising star added: "I'm number one contender for the WBO title and hopefully I'll fight for that at some point. But I really wanted to fight Jennings and it's just a shame I've hurt my ribs."

I have my standards that I eat every time I am in Calgary, reflecting what I cannot get at home. These are thai food (usually Khao San Thai) and Famoso pizza, sometimes a visit to Muku ramen is in order too.
This weekend we are eating out with fellow foodies who are visiting from Edmonton and we would like to go somewhere else. I would like to keep the cost down (post holidays and all). Max 25$ entrees. Guests don't eat meat/pork. After perusing some posts I am thinking Blue Star Diner or Charcut would be good options. Any other thoughts? Central location would be best.

The Apple Trees at Olema includes work from Robert Hass's first five books&mdash:Field Guide, Praise, Human Wishes, Sun Under Wood, and Time and Materials—as well as a substantial gathering of new poems, including a suite of elegies, a series of poems in the form of notebook musings on the nature of storytelling, a suite of summer lyrics, and two experiments in pure narrative that meditate on personal relations in a violent world and read like small, luminous novellas.
From the beginning, his poems have seemed entirely his own: a complex hybrid of the lyric line, with an unwavering fidelity to human and nonhuman nature, and formal variety and surprise, and a syntax capable of thinking through difficult things in ways that are both perfectly ordinary and really unusual. Over the years, he has added to these qualities a range and a formal restlessness that seem to come from a skeptical turn of mind, an acute sense of the artifice of the poem and of the complexity of the world of lived experience that a poem tries to apprehend.
Hass's work is grounded in the beauty of the physical world. His familiar landscapes—San Francisco, the northern California coast, the Sierra high country—are vividly alive in his work. His themes include art, the natural world, desire, family life, the life between lovers, the violence of history, and the power and inherent limitations of language. He is a poet who is trying to say, as fully as he can, what it is like to be alive in his place and time. His style—formed in part by American modernism, in part by his long apprenticeship as a translator of the Japanese haiku masters and Czeslaw Milosz—combines intimacy of address, a quick intelligence, a virtuosic skill with long sentences, intense sensual vividness, and a light touch. It has made him immensely readable and his work widely admired.
At the outsetand, I suspect at the core even stillRobert Hass is a poet of praise: praise for the beauty of the natural world, for the long unfolding of our human story. ("Praise" was even the title of one of Hass's early collections.) But he is a modern man, engaged with the philosophical, aesthetic and political turmoil of our times. The Apple Trees at Olema offers new poems and a generous sampling of five published collections, and his achievement is often nothing less than splendid.

Michelle Parker Dominates at the Blenheim Spring Classic II
Parker takes home 1st in the $40,000 Blenheim Spring Classic II Grand Prix and the $10,000 1.35M Jumper Classic
[San Juan Capistrano] Coming off a spectacular victory in Friday's $10,000 1.35M Jumper Classic, presented by CardFlex, Michelle Parker swept up the competition again in Saturday's $40,000 Blenheim Spring Classic Grand Prix, presented by Summit General Insurance Agency. With the stands filled, spring in the air and the sun shining, all eyes were on Parker as she guided her fearless 9 year old grey mare, Xel Ha to a double clean effort in a blazing 38.220.
Michelle Parker and Xel Ha, owned by Tula Pinnella
A total of 31 horse and rider duos took on the challenge on the Blenheim EquiSports' Grand Prix grass field. The demanding course, designed by Benjamin Fernandez (MEX), lead riders over a vertical-oxer double combination, an oxer-verticle-oxer triple combination, an optional water jump, and a finish over a wide liverpool oxer. Six riders were able to master the 1st round and qualify for the jump-off.
Josephina Nor Lantzman (BRA) and her trusted mount Chello Z had thefirst clear roundof the day and followed up with another flawless effort in the jump-off setting the bar in a time of 40.744. John Pearce (CAN) and Forest View Farm's Chianto stood up to the challenge and surpassed Nor's time in 38.830. Michelle Parker then piloted the 9-year-old Selle Francais mare, Xel Ha, owned by Tula Pinnella, to a quick and concise jump off, cutting corners and galloping between fences to stop the clock and take the lead in 38.220.
It came down to Parker's second mount in the jump off to try and make it a 1-2 finish. Parker guided Cross Creek Farm's Socrates De Midos to a fault free jump-off, but stopped the clock in 39.908, good enough for 3rd. Seven of the eight riders were able to go clean in the jump-off, making it a very intense and exciting wrap up to the second week of the Blenheim Spring Classic Series.
The competition continues in San Juan Capistrano next week with the $10,000 USHJA International Hunter Derby on Friday, April 13th, and the $50,000 Orange County Register Grand Prix on Saturday, April 14th. Free parking and general admission to all events. Visit the Blenheim EquiSports website for more information

Latest reports emanating from Kano, northern Nigeria indicate that the Nigeria police command in Kano on Friday, 27 June, 2014 foiled a terror attack that would have caused a bloodbath in the ancient city.
According to PUNCH online, the police recovered 13 Improvised Explosive Device, IED, planted on a rickety car within the premises of a Juma'ah mosque at Sauna Dakata in Kano metropolis.
As at the time of compiling this report, details of the report are still being expected.
Meanwhile, Kano state has suffered terror attack recently.
it could be recalled that eight persons were killed in a bomb blast that happened on Monday, 23 June, 2014 at the School of Hygiene in Kano.
According to the Commissioner of Police in Kano state, Adenrele Shinaba, the blast occurred at about 2:05pm inside the school located along Bayero University Kano, BUK, road in Kano.
* Scene of bomb explosions at the School of Hygiene in Kano
Speaking with newsmen after the attack, Mr. Shinaba infomed that several others were injured in the incident.
He also said one suspect was arrested in connection with the blast.
No group has claimed responsibility for the blast although the insurgent Boko Haram has carried out similar attacks in Kano and other northern states.

The works on reconstruction of spatial distribution of nonlinear acoustic parameter are conducted also. It is proposed a modified wave approach to solving the problem of reconstructing the acoustic nonlinear parameter distribution. The approach uses the effect of sound scattering by sound, which makes it possible to employ a complicated time processing of signals instead of spatial processing and, consequently, to reduce the number of transmitting and receiving transducers. The possibility of practical implementation of a two-dimensional tomographic scheme based on coherent correlation processing of broadband quasi-random signals at combination frequencies is analyzed. Results of model numerical experiments on reconstructing complicated spatial distributions of the nonlinear parameter are obtained.
The analysis of data showed that not all characteristics that are specific for normative maternal speech behavior were presented in maternal speech behavior of twin's mothers.It was shown that all the children pronounced little number of sounds when interacting to their mother. [a] and [e]-like sounds predominated in the vocalizations of the children. The quantity of vocalizations and phonetically determined vowels with the formant structure have been increasing by the age of 12 months. The meaning of a pitch in a calm comfortable sound stayed high during the first year of children's life (300-560 Hz). The meaning of the first formant frequency didn't change in [a] and [e]-like sounds, the meaning of the second formant frequency were decreasing at a level of tendency.
It was shown that mother interacted equally with both children in one triad during the first year of their life. The differences in mother-child interaction with the first and the second child were established for the other triads. For instance, it was shown for the second triad that the simple maternal speech with meaningless words, that was addressed to the first child, led to the complication of vocalizations of this child: appearing of babble at 6 months of age, the variety of syllabic constructions at the age of 9 months, predominance of babble as compared to the other vocalizations. The speech with the bigger modification of intonation, addressed to the second child, didn't lead to such result. Probably the better speech development of the first child might be due to the order of his birth, because he was exposed to risk in a less degree during the process of birth. The confirmation or refutation of this conclusion will be interesting for the future work .
Theoretically and experimentally are marked, that change of phase relations in a spectrum radiated signals possible realize redistribution directions of swapping energy from initial waves in secondary, there is an opportunity of control the nonlinear wave processes. By the example of waves difference and total frequencies generated by a narrow-band three-frequency pumping waves, features of realization so-called "condition of phase interdiction" are considered at which generation of these waves is completely excluded. The plane and beam wave models of acoustic field are compared. It is shown, that under the certain phase relations there are additional nonlinear phase shifts in the initial waves. It results in occurrence of a nonlinear dispersion both phase speeds of different frequency component and group speed of wave and also to violation of phase synchronism between frequency components of acoustic signal. Thus it is marked, that propagation of regular waves is accompanied by two interconnected processes - interchange of energy waves between themselves and a nonlinear dispersion. The method of measurement the phase relations in a three-frequency signal with use of Lissajous figures is offered. Experimental researches are carried out. The qualitative agreement of theoretical and experimental research is received. A method for measuring the geometrical dispersion caused by diffraction processes in sound beams is considered.
The analysis of practical ways the use results of theoretical and experimental research is carried out. For example: the method of reduction the nonlinear attenuation modulated waves of finite amplitude by choice optimum amplitude-phase relations in their spectrum; method of exception the undesirable display of a nonlinear dispersion in systems of communication and control with the acoustic channel of information transfer; high-sensitivity methods of diagnostics acoustic heterogeneity mediums in which basis the condition of phase interdiction is put; methods of measurement the amplitude-frequency and phase-frequency characteristics of electro-acoustic transducers and etc. are considered.
Also measurements of acoustic characteristics for the same samples on experimental wave installation, according to standard techniques have been lead. In work the frequency range of 250-4000 Hz was used. Comparison of results has shown the good consent. It proves expediency of application of calculations by the given technique at designing sound-proof designs and constructions in industrial construction.
The offered engineering method of calculation can be rather useful at a design stage of acoustic facing. It allows to predict spectral characteristics of factor of a sound absorption without labour-consuming experimental researches, to choose some optimum variant of a design and a way of an arrangement of a plate. Also he can be rather useful at the decision of a return task - to development of specialized materials of porous structure with the most favourable factors of a sound absorption and an impedance.

Values in health care
The first part of the paper is concerned with the health care values of various groups; namely, those which are resource oriented, disease oriented, political decision-makers, organized sellers and purchasers of health care and patients. These groups are further divided according to selected political/ideological and socio-economic characteristics, essentially along capitalist and socialist lines. Some of the ways in which the values held by these groups are determined, formulated and, by implication at least, changed and the political, economic and other bases for some of their practical applications are identified. The second part of the paper focuses upon values in public health education and related practice. It is argued that to become more useful to the 'health of the public' the new public health worker will have to become more activist, assuming an adversarial stance toward the market economy in capitalist countries and oppressive governmental structures everywhere. A wider integration of knowledge concerning the effects on health of all types of economic, social and political practices is required; this, in turn, would contribute to the emergence of alternative forms of public health analysis and practice. The recognition of wider forms of public health leadership should follow, coupled with organizational changes directed at the greater participation of popular groupings in all types of public health activities.

Stacey Solomon admits she is 'hugely embarrassed' about being caught smoking whilst seven-months pregnant.
Stacey Solomon admits she is 'hugely embarrassed' about being caught smoking whilst seven-months pregnant.
The 22-year-old former 'x factor' star - who was named Foxy Bingo's Celebrity Mum of the Year - was photographed puffing on a cigarette whilst taking a break from a photoshoot in south west London.
According to the Sunday People newspaper, it was her fourth one in just two hours, although Stacy insists she tries to keep her smoking to a minimum for the sake of her unborn child.
She said: ''I know it doesn't look good but I only have a few cigs a day.
''I don't think I've let down my fans, But I do get a little stressed at times and a ciggie helps me calm down.''
The singer-turned-television presenter - who has son Zach, three and another on the way with fiancé Aaron Barham - admits she wants to quit, but her doctor warned her it would be 'more stressful' on her body if she packed the habit in completely.
She explained: ''I desperately want to stop smoking and I don't want to set a bad Example. It's a tough habit to break but I'm going to give it my best shot.''
Her publicist Max Clifford added to The Sun: ''Stacey has been smoking maximum one or two cigarettes a day but she is desperately trying to quit.
''She's very embarrassed about it all and is hoping all this will maybe push her into giving up.''

True and Fascinating Canadian History
Honour Roll #214
The RCMP's First Woman Pilot
Mountain View Cemetery. Thunder Bay, ON.
Over the Miles
Over A Remarkable RCMP Career
Over the years and over the miles, I have made hundreds of friends while serving on RCMP assignments across Canada and America, throughout Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe & Central America. No matter the continent or the country, these friends made a huge difference in my life.
My career with the Force was long, rewarding, challenging and exciting. I was very fortunate to have met good friends in a variety of situations at home and in far away places. I was fortunate to have met people from all walks of life.
In every case, all of these people were good natured, hard working and positive about life. They all had some fond connection to the Force and they spoke proudly of the RCMP and its work in Canada.
I tip my Stetson to my family and to all my friends and I extend all my affection to you. Thank you!
I am very, very indebted to Canada and to the Force for a long and remarkable career. I am very honoured to have served Canada as a police officer.
All the work on the website, database and the blog is done voluntarily -- in honour and in memory of all the deceased members of the Force -- many of whom I knew.
I am very pleased to share my memories, photos and some letters from friends.

HOUMA -- Player for player.
Fan for fan.
Basket for basket.
The boys basketball rivalry between Ellender Memorial and Terrebonne High is back.
And may be better than ever.
That was evident on Friday night.
Terrebonne came back from 16 points down in the third quarter to take a 71-70 District 6-5A victory in front of a packed house at its home gym.
The final minutes of the game proved to be a back-and-forth flurry.
Terrebonne (15-6, 4-0 in district) began cutting into Ellender�s lead and got it to 66-57 with 2:16 to play.
Cleveland Bingham, who had 30 points in the game and 17 points in the fourth quarter for the Tigers, hit a 3-pointer with 2 minutes to go to cut the No. 1 ranked team in Class 5A�s lead to 66-60.
Bingham then hit another 3-pointer to make it 66-63 with 1:30 left.
An Ellender (22-3, 3-1) basket followed with a minute to play to make it 68-63. Then Bingham banked in another 3-pointer with 54.6 left that cut it to 68-66.
Ellender�s Cyron Nelson was then fouled and stepped to the line to shoot the first of one-and-one free throw. Or so he thought.
Before Nelson�s shot, there was a 5-plus minute delay so police and administrators could clear people from standing around the outside of the court.
When the game restarted, Nelson missed the first free throw strong, and Bingham scored on a drive to the hoop, was fouled, and made the free throw for his 11th point in 1:15 and a 69-68 Terrebonne lead with 45.6 left.
But we weren�t done.
Ellender�s Walter Jones took a bounce pass, scored and was fouled with 36.8 to play, but missed the free throw, and Ellender led 70-69.
Then with 20 seconds left, Terrebonne�s Brandon Diggs (17 points) drove the baseline and scored what would be the game winner.
"I saw it was wide open so I just went up for the layup," Diggs said. "Everybody said Ellender is the best team, and they were sleeping on us. We just kept our heads. We wanted to win."
Ellender had a chance to tie or possibly win the game with under 15 seconds, but Jones (20 points) missed the front end of another one-and-one free throw, and Terrebonne ran out the clock.
The Patriots were 12 of 30 from the free-throw line in the game.
Terrebonne has made it a habit of coming back in the fourth quarter of late.
It trailed South Lafourche by 18 points entering the fourth quarter on Tuesday to win the game by 58-49.
"By us staying focussed for what we were about to do, it allowed us to keep executing," Neal said. "It gave us the opportunity to win in the end. In addition, I felt like towards the end our defense came up with some big turnovers.
"On offense, we hit some big shots."
Late in game, Bingham seemed he would do whatever it took to ensure his team win the game.
And he did.
"He is consistent," Neal said. "He stays focussed on what he�s doing. Therefore pressure doesn�t hurt him."
The first quarter ended with Ellender up 17-16, largely on the strength of two 3-pointers in the quarter by Jessie Thompson (12 points).
Terrebonne got up 35-25 with 2:29 left in the first half before, with a number of Terrebonne starters on the bench because of foul trouble, Ellender got six straight points from Jones and a 3-point play from Lionel Robinson (18 points).
The game went to halftime with Terrebonne up 37-34.
Four of Terrebonne�s five starters entered the third quarter with three fouls each.
Robinson opened the third quarter with a break-away dunk for Ellender, but what came next raised the intensity level on both sides for the rest of the night.
Diggs got the ball in the open court, dribbled a couple of times, rotated the ball around his body, and dunked to tie the game at 41.
But Terrebonne never had time to celebrate it. Jones hustled down court a nailed a base-line 3-pointer that sent Ellender on a huge run, which included a big put-back dunk by Robinson, and the eventual 16-point lead, before Terrebonne came back.
From Bingham�s banked in 3-pointer to a possible goal tend call that wasn�t made, to Terrebonne�s ability to keep its poise, a number of factors hurt Ellender�s chances down the stretch.
"Every night is a different," Ellender coach Scott Gauthreaux said.
"There were many aspects. Little things add up. We all made mistakes. We�ll learn from it. But what an atmosphere? What a game? It should be like this every Tuesday and Friday night."
The teams play again in the second round of district play on Feb. 7 at Ellender. Get there early.
Prior to the boys game, freshman Kerry Hampton led Ellender to the District 6-5A victory with 27 points.
The Lady Patriots (21-5, 6-0 in district) led 27-6 after the first quarter, 50-11 at halftime and 63-21 at the end of the third quarter.
Da�Jeane Jones and Brittany Lewis each scored 14 points for Ellender, ranked third in Class 5A.
Kara Ezell added 11 points for the Lady Patriots.
Courtney Celestin led Terrebonne (6-9, 3-3) with 11 points, and Darnetta Glasper added 10 points.

411 Movies Interview: India de Beaufort
If you are not watching the new screwball, slapstick comedy meets fantasy TV series, Krod Mandoon And The Flaming Sword of Fire on Comedy Central right now, you should. In the adventures of the ragtag resistance movement led by the aptly named Krod Mandoon (Sean Maguire) against the evil, tyrannical, and eccentric Dongolar (Matt Lucas), Krod is joined by his would-be girlfriend, the Racoon Pagan warrior, Aneka, played by British actress India de Beaufort. The singer, song writer, and musician shifted over to the acting scene several years ago on The Basil Brush Show before appearing with Simon Pegg in the movie Run Fatboy Run. Now India is getting a lot more face time in this great new TV series. And if you haven't seen Aneka's fire dance yet, you are truly doing yourself a disservice. I spoke with India last week via phone to talk about what's going on with Krod and her acting career:
Jeffrey "The Vile One" Harris: So did you know Krod was "dork" spelled backwards?
India de Beaufort: It actually took me a while to realize. I didn't realize straight away. In fact no one even told me until the end of the shoot. I didn't really look for it, but I know now.
TVO: It explains a lot about Krod, doesn't it?
IB: It does. I think there's actually a story behind it. Peter Knight said there was some guy at his school when he was growing up who wasn't the brightest of the bunch, and they used to call him "Krod," and he didn't realize it was dork spelled backwards, so it was kind of like a silly joke or something.
TVO: So how did you get this role?
IB: I auditioned just like everybody else. I went through the exact same process.
TVO: Did you have any doubts, concerns, or hangups about Aneka and the way she behaves? She's definitely a sexually aggressive in how she approaches certain things.
IB: When I read the script, I just loved the character. And I only ever read the first episode, but when I auditioned I had only seen the first one, so I hadn't read anything about her fire dance or you know she has a couple of other a bit naughty scenes among the scripts. And I read those after I'd gotten the role. And I think I was originally a little bit concerned just because I take my job very seriously, and I love what I do and I didn't want people to watch the show and think that I was there for the wrong reasons. So I wanted them to hopefully respect me for playing the role. And there's always that sort of worry when there's a character that's so sexually relative, but after reading it a few times, the writing's just so funny and its intelligent and knowing that Sean Maguire and Matt Lucas were involved, I couldn't turn it down. And once that we shot the scenes, and now that I've seen it all out, I'm not worried at all because I love the role of Aneka. I really believe in her, and after playing her she's more a feminist character because she's saying, "I'm equal to every other man in the world. Men enjoy sex. I enjoy sex." You know, she's out there putting out this strong statement. And some people see it that way and some people don't, but for me playing her personally, I completely respect her and I love playing her.
TVO: So what was the shoot like, and where are you with the show right now?
IB: We're all back. We're all done, so now we can just sit back and watch it. The shoot was incredible. I mean it was really just one of those life-changing experiences, and I had so much fun. And I was fortunate enough to be with a group of people who really believed in the project and wanted to get the job done and do it well but also have a great time. We spent everyday just laughing and messing around. I work with a bunch of men who were all just big kids fulfilling their fantasy of sword fighting and being a part of that is just phenomenal.
TVO: Would you consider yourself a fan of fantasy before you started working on this show?
IB: Oh yeah, I'm a huge fan. I'm slightly addicted to Charmed, anything really with sort of the fantasy realm. Harry Potter, Heroes I love . . . just anything really. It's really amazing how the writers create this universe that's endless, and I have no idea where that imagination comes from. And being a part of something that when we walk on the set, we're walking into a world that somebody created. They took pencil and pen and then went down on paper sat down and they got to a point where we're sitting in it. And that's just so much fun to be a part of.
TVO: Krod wants to settle down with Aneka and for her to be his girlfriend, while Aneka wants to be her own girl and do things her way. But do you think Aneka is interested in Krod, and could you ever see her settling down with Krod?
IB: I don't want to give too much away, but Krod loves Aneka. He absolutely adores the ground she walks on. And they have this relationship where she wants an open, free relationship, and he wants a monogamous relationship and sort of seeing the challenges that brings, but there is more to Aneka than her sexual free-ness and her being a great warrior. She has levels and depth and vulnerability and later in the series you'll see more of that come out, and it may or may not be related to her feelings for Krod.
TVO: How did you get into acting and is acting something you've wanted to do your whole life?
IB: I've always wanted to be in the business. Both my parents were performers. I was a singer first. I've been in writing and singing since I was about 14, 15. And then I went into a children's TV show called The Basil Brush Show on the BBC in the UK. And I could sing on the show and was what required me to be one of the principal roles and that was my first introduction to acting. And then from there I went back to music and continued writing and continued trying to make it in that way, and then the role of Maya in Run Fatboy Run came along, which was directed by David Schwimmer, and David sort of took me to one side after we finished shooting and said, "Look. I really think that you should take this seriously, and this is the direction you should head in," and he saw potential, and he was the first person to really believe in me. I had people back me in music before but never in acting. When he took a stance and showed me some confidence, I took him seriously, I mean you have to; he's someone that's that talented. So I went away and trained for a year with different acting coaches and really found out my strengths, my weaknesses, the things that I loved about it, the things that I didn't like so much, and before long I just fell in love. So I put the music to one side and started heavily pursuing acting and auditioning and getting the roles and getting as much information as I possibly could and then Krod and I was fortunate enough to land the role.
TVO: Run Fatboy Run was my first exposure to you playing the daughter of Simon Pegg's landlord, Maya D. Gas. I'm a huge Simon Pegg and I've gotten the chance to interview him as well.
IB: I love Simon . . . and he's just the nicest guy, isn't he? I saw him a few weeks back when I was in London. Every time I see him, it just reminds me of how delicious he is as a person. I just love him to death.
TVO: I definitely agree. Your role in Run Fatboy Run wasn't a huge role, but I enjoyed it whenever you were on screen and you definitely had a good presence. And I love seeing you develop on this show, and I'm sorry to say this, but the fire dance was one of the greatest things I've ever seen in the history of television.
IB: *Laughs*. Yeah, that was the most nerve-wracking thing I think I've ever done. I had to down a beer before I went out and did that. I shouldn't admit it because I'm not a wine, cocktail drinking kind of a girl. I have an older brother, and so, so I watch football and I like a beer. And before we started shooting it, I was so nervous, not so much about doing it, but doing it in front of my peers, the people I've been working against. We were quite a way into the shoot by then. We were almost at the end of the shoot, and the idea of taking my kit off in front of them was mortifying. And then I got out there – the stage that we shot it on was sort of a laminate (?) material and it got covered in joo(?) once the sun went down. So I was slipping all over the place. I wear these hair extensions to play Aneka, and my hair extensions came out when I was throwing my head around, and it was all a bit of a nightmare. I mean I learned that day – I went to – this is absolutely terrible and I can't believe I'm admitting this, but to train me to do that, they sent me off with a dancing coach, and I got out of a car and I realize I'm outside of a strip club in the middle of Budapest. And I went inside, and this teacher they give me, she was a contemporary dancer, and because they knew it was going to be around some kind of pole, they brought me to a strip club, and it was during working hours. And I walked in and there were some girls on the side kind of sitting there in their very sexy lingerie and things and the owner behind the bar. And there was only one pole, kind of a full crowd, and I had to get up and learn pole dancing in front of all these people who didn't speak a word of English . . . I mean the whole thing was just crazy. I had a great time, and I learned to pole dance. So we choreographed this routine completely around the pole. And most of what I learned is that poles are on ball bearings, so when you swing around it, it goes wicked and you can really put down your feet (?). And then I got there on set on the day, and the pole was in fact a tree. So we had to throw out all the choreography that I've learned and I just had to wing it. So they still somehow managed to edit it and make it look half-decent, but the actual experience itself was a bit all over the place. By the time I'd done it, I had a blast, and I really enjoyed myself and I think it was one of those freeing moments where you never thought you'd do it, but you do it and you have a lot of fun. I might continue the pole dancing lessons if possible.
TVO: Please don't get offended when I say this, but I've never been more jealous of the citizens of Budapest.
IB: *Laughs*, Oh Jeffrey, that's very sweet of you. I promise you the takes that they saw were nowhere near—
TVO: I mean a lot about acting is about letting go of your inhibitions. And you really embraced the spirit of that character, and it was great.
"I might continue the pole dancing lessons if possible."
IB: Well the good thing about Aneka is that because she is so strong and feisty and can have these weighty foundations, if I had gone up there and showed that I was nervous and timid it probably would've been A.) more embarrassing and B.) I wouldn't be doing my job. And the great thing about playing Aneka is that because she has this really feisty – I can hide behind that myself. And so when I play her, I can pretend I am her and get away with so much more. Whereas me myself, I don't think I could probably pole dance in front of 300 men. I'm afraid of how I'd look.
TVO: Do you India find yourself attracted to Krod in any way? I mean, he's a little incompetent but I find his devotion to one woman very admirable.
IB: Me as a person, I'm a one-man woman. I'm all about trust and men being faithful and honesty and someone being a good all round person and Krod really has all those qualities. And I think it's kind of cute the way he gets things wrong and is a bit silly, you know. The only thing I probably wouldn't like is he's always messing with his hair and the way he looks. I can't bear those kinds of guys. Everything else about Krod, I love and obviously, Sean is gorgeous. So Sean playing Krod is a big plus. That's a character I do love.
TVO: So not like Dongolar or any of those guys?
IB: I don't think there's anyone in the show, a character – I mean Krod is probably the first guy I'd go for. And after that, Rafe obviously . . . and he's a very good looking guy . . . but I have funny taste in men. I don't go for the traditional hero. I don't know really know what I go for . . . but I've never really gone for the leading man. I'm not a leading man kind of woman, but you never know it might change.
"Everything else about Krod, I love and obviously, Sean is gorgeous. So Sean playing Krod is a big plus. That's a character I do love."
TVO: What's the most important thing you look for in a guy you want to date?
IB: Hm. In a guy I want to date. The guy personally, I just want to laugh. I spend my life around funny men, and if they didn't make me laugh it would be a bit strange. It's really important that I laugh. It's also important that you're sexually attracted to them. But I think the biggest one, the biggest thing that guys tend to miss, is that girls want to go on dates that surprise them. You know every girl in the world has gone on dates where they sat in a restaurant or sat in a coffee shop, or sat and talked or sat and eaten, and if you do it that way then you're kind of just the same as ever other guy that went before. Whereas if a guy took me rock climbing or to the beach or just something that kind of breaks the ice and is more relaxed and sort of allows you to be in an activity – you know just really breaks the ice, that would make a huge difference. And it's true because that's what all my girlfriends say, "if a guy would just do something a little bit out of the blue, a little bit abnormal, something unpredictable it would make a huge difference." So there's a big hint.
TVO: I'm going to be taking a lot of notes when I transcribe this interview.
IB: *Chuckles*.
TVO: You mentioned Heroes earlier. Are there any other shows you like to watch in your leisure time?
IB: . . . I'm so addicted to Heroes it's not funny. I'm usually waiting for Monday nights to come around. And I used to really like Lost and then I got a bit lost. Charmed I've been watching a lot of the reruns of recently. I love Gossip Girls, Desperate Housewives, all those kind of "chicky" shows. I love Monk, a detective series, I love Monk. There are many, many shows I adore.
TVO: For a more ladies type of show, I like Mistresses which we just started getting over here.
IB: I love Mistresses, but is it the British version here or . . . ?
TVO: I get the British version on BBCA.
IB: Nice. Because Sarah Parish is in Mistresses, who is the wife of James Murray who plays Rafe Longshaft in our show. That's a bit of trivia for you.
TVO: James Murray from Primevil?
IB: Yes.
TVO: That's another show I love, I just started watching series 3 and I'm going nuts.
IB: Well I'm fortunate because there's a lot of good TV around.
TVO: You guys have the best TV over in England, besides the fact that we get Krod here.
IB: Yes. England hasn't got Krod yet. England's still waiting, so you guys got it first.
TVO: So how many episodes did you shoot for Krod for this season?
IB: We shot six episodes. And hopefully if people watch and tune in and enjoy the show, then we'll maybe shoot ten or more next season.
TVO: Well, I'm definitely watching right now. I love this show. I love Aneka, I love Krod, and all these characters, and I hope we can see more. India, thank you so much for your time, it's been amazing speaking with you. And God save the queen.
IB: *Laughs* Thank you, Jeffrey. God Save the Queen.
TVO: And the Sex Pistols too. Thank you so much India, you're amazing. Tell Krod to watch out.
IB: I will let him know. When I see Sean later, I'll tell him.
TVO: Tell Sean to watch out too.

This installation in the Olomouc chapel (Czech Republic) makes great use of projection mapping. Instead of simply watching an impressive choreography of optical illusions, Archifon's audience can participate via laser pointers. Aiming at individual figures and architectural elements creates light and sound, letting the visitors be collaborative, audiovisual composers. This kind of interaction should be applied more and could lift projection mapping out of the 'yesterday's novelty' category.

text: Run out of Coonskin by high winds, couple weds anyway By Alison Matas July 4, 2012 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va.-- Belinda Belling was hosting her daughter's rehearsal dinner at Coonskin Park when Friday night's storm hit.About 70 people had gathered under the Columbia shelter for a catered barbecue dinner at 6 p.m. But an hour later, the sky turned green, and high winds started whipping food off the tables."A park ranger comes up and says, 'You need to leave immediately,'" Belling said.Belling's daughter and now son-in-law were supposed to hold their Saturday wedding reception at Coonskin Park, but the damage from the storm altered their plans. Despite the setback, the Bellings managed to have a wedding Saturday, thanks to the help from people around the city.The bride, Chelsea Belling, attended South Charleston High School and is a 2012 graduate of the University of Tennessee. The groom, Ben Pobst, graduated from the University of Tennessee in 2011 and is from Nashville. The couple met at school about three years ago and got engaged in November, Belinda said.Chelsea was handing out bridesmaid and groomsmen gifts when the storm hit Friday. Some guests tried to take cover in the shelter's kitchen, but they had to run for their cars, which were shaking in the storm.The windstorm ripped apart the 999-acre park, knocking down hundreds of trees and throwing branches. One tree fell between the entrance to Coonskin and the Air National Guard, bringing down power lines and transformers and blocking the group's exit, Kanawha County Parks Director Jeff Hutchinson said. Members of the Air National Guard routed the caravan of about 100 cars through Yeager Airport, bringing Friday night's festivities to a halt, Belinda said.Chelsea's grandmother, Pat Waldron, had driven to West Virginia from Florida with a wedding coordinator. On Saturday, they awoke at 4:30 a.m. to devise a contingency plan. Waldron started making calls at 6:30 a.m. -- to the florist, the hairstylist and the caterer.She had told her granddaughter she would get a once-in-a-lifetime reception, and she intended to uphold that promise. "I said, 'Chelsea, you will have a reception today. I just don't know where it will be'" Waldron said.The caterer, Jeff Meehan, director of food and beverage for the West Virginia Power baseball team, came to the family's rescue. He secured Power Alley Grill for the day so the Bellings could have the party in the restaurant, and he gave them the facility for free."They were stuck," Meehan said. "They didn't have a venue so, I mean, I didn't want it to ruin their day."But the decorations for the reception were still in the Hearth Room at Coonskin Park. Once again, members of the Air National Guard led the family through the airport and into the park, where Hutchinson's staff let them into the clubhouse."We always try to provide the best we can for the people coming to use the park," Hutchinson said. After 2.5 hours of setting up the reception at Power Alley Grill, the wedding went on as scheduled, at 6:30 p.m. June 30 at the Charleston Baptist Temple. Chelsea was the third generation in her family to say her vows in the church, and about 100 people turned out for the event.Belinda said her daughter took the change in plans in stride, and Chelsea, her husband and their friends liked the venue because they had studied architecture in college.The family and the wedding coordinator agreed the reception was one of the best they'd ever attended, partly because people came ready for a party, Belinda said.Waldron said she's amazed by the kindness of West Virginians who helped make Chelsea's wedding possible."I know what it's like when a major disaster hits," she said, wiping a tear from her eye. "I don't know how to say thank you to the people of Charleston."Reach Alison Matas at firstname.lastname@example.com or 304-348-5100.

I Dance 2 Ballroom Dancesport Studio
Since 1984, the studio's experienced instructors have conveyed their ballroom skills to both beginner and seasoned students, including Dancing with the Stars' Emmitt Smith. As the instructor team takes the reins during group and private classes, students learn the graceful moves and footwork for the cha cha, the waltz, salsa, swing, or other ballroom styles. The studio also offers a special wedding course that gets couples ready for their big days, enabling them to finally have a reason to be the center of attention at a wedding. Many of the studio's dancers also train for national competitions, often under the leadership of studio director and championship dancer Raza Begg.

The first of the U.S. Navy's new aluminum Joint High Speed Vessels, the future USNS Spearhead (JHSV 1), completed builder's sea trials on April 19 in the Gulf of Mexico.
Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) says that that the ship "performed well" during trials that encompassed over 50 demonstration events. "I have never witnessed a more problem-free builder's sea trial than USNS Spearhead's," remarked Joe Rella, president and chief operating officer of Austal USA.
Highlights included operating the ship's propulsion plant with four MTU 20V8000 M71L diesels at different power levels up to full power, reaching top speeds in excess of 35 knots; testing and calibrating communication and navigational systems; ride control systems testing; and pollution control systems tests. The ship's four steerable Wartsila WLD 1400 SR water jets were tested, and the ship performed a series of high-speed turns to demonstrate stability and maneuverability, with the JHSV exhibiting "virtually no heeling motions throughout the radical turns," according to Austal.
Capt. Henry Stevens, Strategic and Theater Sealift Program Manager (PMS 385), said in a press release that "getting Spearhead under way is a significant step in the ship's steady progress toward entering the fleet."
The next major milestones for JHSV 1 are acceptance trials – tentatively scheduled for mid-May – that will be conducted by the U.S. Navy's Board of Inspection and Survey (INSURV) followed by delivery later this year – perhaps as early as Q2, 2012. In the interim, NAVSEA says that shipbuilder Austal will be busy closing out a number of open corrective actions in preparation for the acceptance trials.
After delivery, JHSV 1 will go through another set of post delivery tests & trials that are tentatively planned to last from the 3rd quarter FY 2012 through 1st quarter FY 2013.
JHSV 1 is a versatile, non-combatant transport ship that will be used for fast intra-theater transportation of troops, military vehicles, and equipment. The ship is being built by Austal USA, and is the first of a planned ten-ship program. The U.S. Navy had awarded contracts for nine of the ten vessels to be executed between FY09 and FY13 as part of a program that is potentially worth over US$1.6 billion according to Austal, although recent budget documents indicate DoD may cut back that buy.
JHSV is designed to commercial standards, with limited modifications for military use. The 103-meter-long catamaran vessel, with a full load displacement of 2,400 metric tons, is capable of transporting 600 short tons 1,200 nautical miles at an average speed of 35 knots. With a draft of 3.91 meters, it can operate in shallow-draft ports and waterways, interfacing with roll-on/roll-off discharge facilities, and on/off-load a combat-loaded M1A2 Abrams main battle tank using a 45-degree slewing articulated quarter ramp for rapid and efficient loading and offloading.
Other joint requirements include a NAVAIR Level 1 Class 2 certified flight deck flight deck to support day and night aircraft launch and recovery operations for a medium helicopter. JHSV 1 will have airline style seating for 312 embarked forces, with fixed berthing for 104. The ship's complement is 42 persons.
In essence, the JHSV provides combatant commands (COCOMs) a 35-knot intra-theater transport capable of carrying combat ready units over 1,200 nautical miles with the ability to off-load troops and equipment in an austere environment without reliance on shore infrastructure.
Meanwhile, Austal announced that it is getting ready to perform the ceremonial keel laying of JHSV 3, the future Fortitude, on May 3, 2012.

Stretch It: Quads
A stretch that's an oldie (but a goodie) is the standing quadriceps stretch. You definitely did it in middle school and you'll always see runners doing it after a run, but here is a refresher to make sure you're getting the most out of your stretch.
Here's how you do it: Stand upright on one foot. Hold the other foot with the opposite hand (you can use the same side hand or both, but using the opposite is better for your knees) and raise the heel of the lifted foot to the bum. If you can't touch the booty, get as close as you can comfortably without causing pain. Keep your body upright throughout. Hold for 20- 30 seconds. Now, switch sides and repeat.
Fit's Tip: Use a wall or stationary object for balance if you can't balance on your own.

Infographic: Digital Nightmares
There's no doubt that the marketing world is evolving. In fact, 76% of marketers say that marketing has changed more in the past two years than it has in the past 50, according to Adobe's "Digital Stress: What Keeps Marketers up at Night?" survey. But not all marketers are confident in their marketing prowess. According to the survey, only 40% of respondents say their company's marketing is effective. This lack of confidence is especially prevalent when it comes to digital marketing. Less than half (48%) of the digital marketers surveyed say they're highly proficient in digital marketing, and just one in three marketers consider their companies highly proficient in digital marketing.
This digital doubt, for many marketers, stems from insufficient education. According to the study, 85% of marketers acquire their digital marketing knowledge from on-the-job experience, and 36% of marketers say they learn about digital marketing by watching what other companies do. A lack of education can also prevent marketers from having a clear vision of what they need to focus on in the future. The survey cites that 16% of digital marketers say social media marketing will be the most important focus area for marketers in the next three years, while 13% list personalization and targeting, and 11% list digital advertising.
But one thing is for sure: Digital marketing isn't going away. Sixty percent of marketers foresee their companies investing more in digital technology this year, according to the survey. In addition, 66% of marketers say companies won't succeed unless they have a digital marketing approach.
High-performing companies are continuing to invest in digital to stay ahead of the pack. According to the survey, 71% of high-performing companies are investing in digital channels or programs, compared to 52% of lower performing companies; and 73% of high-performing companies are investing in digital marketing technology, compared to 53% of lower performing companies.

Again a small deviation from DIY and photography. Just to tell you about the Photoshelter collection. Photoshelter is an internet based stock agency that gives a great counter balance to the familiar sell-your-image-for-a-buck microstock sites.
There are a couple of thing that I like about Photoshelter, and I am going to talk about them in just a minute. But before that I want to share why I even write about those guys in this site. [Read more…]

It's just another reason to ignore emails from people or companies you don't know. In this case, a young woman who wants a modeling career, was the target.
"The modeling agency sent this young girl an email stating that she could start modeling classes which could help her start modeling professionally," explained Lori McCallister, a U.S. postal inspector.
In the email, the girl was asked for her weight, waist size and three photographs.
"She received a check for $2,500. They said all she had to do was pay the royalties and the taxes on that check and that would help her get introduced into the modeling agency," said McCallister.
Postal inspectors found this was all a scam.
"This was a counterfeit check and thankfully the mother realized her daughter was being scammed," said McCallister.
Investigators say this scam reflects an alarming trend.
"It shows now that the suspects and people committing these crimes; they are now going after college students and even younger potentially," warned McCallister.
Fraudsters are often trolling to see who is visiting various websites and then target them with a scam.
"If you have a passion for anything, you should be the one that is reaching out to these types of schools. Whether it is modeling school, art school, or anything like that you should be the one looking online requesting further information," said McCallister.
Postal Inspectors say to be weary of websites you don't know or that don't appear to be legitimate. And never open emails from unknown addresses.

Henna for hair is a good site and worth reading through for the basics. There are also henna threads here on NC.
Definitely stay away from RRH. I initially tried it many years back and it worked well. Then just a couple of years ago I decided to use henna again, so I used RRH. That go round it was pretty much a disaster. It looked like I used cheap peroxide lightener on my hair.

Tributes to Sudbury headteacher Lesley Farrow following death in horse riding accident
PUBLISHED: 09:24 14 July 2015 | UPDATED: 10:49 14 July 2015
Tributes have been paid to an "extremely inspirational" Sudbury primary school headteacher who died after falling from a horse.
Staff, parents and pupils at Woodhall Community Primary School have been left devastated by news of the sudden death of 47-year-old Lesley Farrow following a riding accident.
Deputy headteacher Helen Arbon made the announcement on the school's website yesterday which read: "It is with great sadness that we have to inform you of the sudden and tragic death of our Headteacher, Mrs Lesley Farrow.
"We have told the children and have put in a range of support.
"A letter with more details will be sent home with your children this afternoon."
Tributes to the mother-of-two, who was from Bradfield Combust near Bury St Edmunds and had been in post at Woodhall Primary since last September, poured in on Twitter and Facebook yesterday.
Last night, local authority governor and Sudbury mayor Jack Owen who had known Mrs Farrow for the past 18 months, told the EADT that the whole school, the teachers, the children, parents and governors were "absolutely devastated".
He said: "Lesley was a very talented headteacher. I always found her to be an extremely inspirational person with lots of good ideas who was moving the school forward. She will be sadly missed for all sorts of reasons.
"We would ask people to respect the wishes of her family that they should be left to grieve in private."
One parent, who did not want to be named, said her daughter was extremely upset by the news. She added: "Mrs Farrow had made a huge difference to the school. She is irreplaceable."
Under Mrs Farrow's direction, Woodhall Primary played an active role in the local Sudbury community. In May, students performed at the French-themed town twinning anniversary event at Sudbury Town Hall and last December they provided musical entertainment for the town's senior citizens at the annual Christmas lunch.
Judith Fardell, 60, who retired as headteacher at Wells Hall Primary School in Sudbury in 2013 and knew Mrs Farrow for eight years, said the news was "totally shattering".
"I knew Lesley in a professional capacity and I bumped into her about two weeks ago and she asked me how I was enjoying retirement and I asked her how she was enjoying Woodhall," Mrs Fardell added.
"She said she absolutely loved working there and it was the best move she had ever made working locally.
"She just seemed so happy. I remember her being a highly professional headteacher who was totally dedicated to the school and the children and she got the job done. She fully immersed herself in school life and her family were very important to her."
Mrs Farrow was also headteacher at the former All Saints Middle School in Sudbury for four years and was widely credited for turning it around. Yesterday, former students of the school took to Facebook to express their sadness, most remembering her as "firm but fair" and for "completely transforming All Saints."
After the school closed, Mrs Farrow went on to be headteacher at Clements Primary School in Haverhill before making the move back to Sudbury last September.

Realities And Challenges Concerning Entrepreneurship Education In Romania
Today more than ever, we are witnessing a strong need for school to be more open and close to real life from the perspective of the role that education has in the development of a socially active and responsible behavior, adequate to a society that suffers continuous change, dominated by turbulences. Competence, tacit or explicit knowledge, intellectual capital become normal expectancies from companies and this expresses an openness towards new, towards change, promoting innovative projects and fostering the continuous growth. We all, as individuals, but also as groups, have to develop the ability to permanently learn, which offers us the choice to adapt to a society that is constantly changing. It is obvious that the success of an economic system is strongly influenced by the quality of its human resources. From this point of view, the education system has a crucial importance for delivering those programs that are able to develop to the students the competencies required by a very dynamic business environment. The paper emphasizes these complex connections between the education and the economic development of a region or country.

Contributing writer
Christmas Day means something extra special to Erin Mathison of Zimmerman and her son, Jason, who will turn 7 years old this Christmas.
The young boy is a cancer survivor.
Erin Mathison was a junior at Elk River High School when her life was turned upside down after she discovered she was pregnant. "I was trying to complete my classes in time to graduate while also trying to balance the increasing responsibility of my pregnancy," she said. Eight months before graduation, Erin gave birth to Jason Kukowski and struggled to take care of her newborn son while turning in homework and studying for exams.
One morning in early February, when Jason was only two months old, Erin says she found him soaking wet in his pajamas, his skin felt icy cold and he was much fussier than normal.
"He'd been a little colicky up until this point," Erin recalled, "and he'd been having cold-like symptoms, but I didn't think it was anything out of the ordinary for a baby in the middle of winter."
The symptoms this morning, however, were very different, and Erin knew Jason needed to go to the hospital immediately.
She called the Fairview Zimmerman Clinic but they did not have any openings with Jason's doctor, so she called the Elk River clinic, but they also did not have any openings available. Erin finally called the Zimmerman clinic back and told them Jason was very ill, pleading to get in. "By now, I was in tears," she said, "and frantic to get my baby help." The Zimmerman clinic was finally able to squeeze him in and Erin arrived half an hour early, thinking that someone would know what to do for Jason if they could just see him in the waiting room. Fortunately, Jason's nurse walked in for another patient and stopped by to see Erin. "She took one look at Jason and said we needed to get him to a room right away," Erin recalls. When they got to the patient room, the doctor ran an oxygen test on Jason and called for an ambulance.
"They knew with only one look that something was horribly wrong," Erin says, adding that Jason's blood-oxygen level was down to 72 percent and he had begun turning blue. Jason was rushed up to Fairview Princeton Clinic where they successfully stabilized him, but he had to be airlifted to Minneapolis Children's Hospital for further treatment. Little Jason remained on a ventilator for 37 days and nearly died when he suffered a pulmonary hemorrhage due to a tumor the size of a grapefruit in his small chest.
"We were so frightened," Erin recalls. "The doctors told us he was suffering from neuroblastoma and no one in my family had ever heard of it before — we couldn't even pronounce it, so I had the doctors write it down on a card for me." Erin says she couldn't understand how her little two-month old son could be suffering from cancer and wanted to do research immediately, but the doctors advised her not to look the condition up on the Web. "They said there was a lot of frightening information out there and Jason was actually doing better than most cases because of his age," Erin remembers, "so that helped just a little to take the edge off my panic."
"Neuroblastoma is a disease in which cancerous tumors develop in the nerve tissue of the adrenal gland, neck, chest, or spinal cord, occurring primarily in infants and children," says Kelly Schultz, marketing and communications coordinator for Children's Cancer Research Fund. "Neuroblastoma is the fifth most common cancer in children less than 15 years of age (following leukemia, brain tumors, lymphoma and sarcoma). Schultz added that neuroblastoma is the second most common cancer in infants less than 1 year old (following leukemia). Most conditions of neuroblastoma begin in the abdomen or in the chest and can spread to the bones (face, skull, pelvis, shoulders, arms and legs), bone marrow, liver, lymph nodes, skin and around the eyes.
Jason endured four rounds of chemotherapy and numerous biopsies and spinal taps during his long treatment for the disease. It was during this time that Erin looked up the meaning of the name she had given him. "Jason means 'healer,'" she says, "and being born on Christmas Day and after nearly dying, I just know that he is going to do something special with his life. I'm just so thankful he was too young to remember any of the pain and trauma."
Not able to attend classes anymore, Erin's English teacher, Deb Shellum, became her tutor, bringing homework down to the hospital and teaching her during the long hours at the hospital to ensure that Erin would graduate with her classmates. "That was so wonderful," Erin recalls, "Deb even came down some days and helped me look after Jason."
Jason's last chemotherapy session was on Mother's Day while Erin was able to attend her senior prom. Not long afterwards, six-month-old Jason was officially declared to be in remission by his doctors and was able to attend his mother's graduation, seeing her walk in and graduate with her peers from Elk River High School.
Erin says the whole experience has made her more thankful than ever for what she has in life, and she and her family are determined to give back for all the help they received by supporting cancer research through Children's Cancer Research Fund.
Jason and Erin regularly lead "Team Jason" at Time to Fly, a walk/run event hosted by Children's Cancer Research Fund each year in June.
2011 marked the 13th annual KS95 for Kids Radiothon event, benefitting Children's Cancer Research Fund and Gillette Children's Specialty Healthcare, which helps to raise funds and awareness for childhood cancer research and children living with complex disabilities.
Each year, Children's Cancer Research Fund and Gillette Children's Specialty Healthcare select several children who have had a cancer experience or who have received care at Gillette to be featured during the KS95 for Kids Radiothon. Jason and Erin were one of the 12 selected this year and they were interviewed by KS95 on-air staff who broadcast their story during the event.
"In its 13-year history, the KS95 for Kids Radiothon has raised more than $11.6 million for our causes," says Schultz. "In 2011 alone, the KS95 for Kids Radiothon raised more than $413,000 from listeners calling and making donations averaging $10 and$20 at a time." Schultz added that they also receive generous pledges of $1,000 to $2,000 from individuals, as well as support from corporate sponsors.
Today, Jason is as energetic and healthy as any first-grader. Erin says he is goofy, funny, sweet, caring, respectful, kind, and sensitive — all desperately balancing against a healthy dose of boyish mischief. "He's very nurturing," she added. "When someone is hurt, he's the first one trying to help." She says he likes to be the class clown and loves to make people laugh. "Sometimes I'm positive he thinks he's 15 and not 6 going on 7," Erin smiles.
It's been a long road from the day she discovered she was pregnant in high school and thought the world was coming to an end. "I had no idea my life and another precious life was just beginning," she says, thinking back to the Christmas Eve when she was rushed to the hospital and gave birth to her son Christmas morning. "I remember thinking the hard part was over as I cradled Jason in my arms," she says thoughtfully, imagining most of her classmates were on break, unwrapping presents and sharing gifts at the time, "but only a few short months later, I learned that the hard part was just beginning." After Jason fell ill, Erin says she felt like her life was unraveling again and she isn't sure what she would have done without the support she received from friends, family, and her school. "I'm just so thankful," she says, "and at times it's hard to believe we've been through so much together already. Jason is the best Christmas present I could ever ask for and I'm so thankful he's alive. I'm so thankful he was born and I know, I just know, he's here for a reason."

Yeah I use Ubuntu also.
I just had a help desk call from one of my store managers. He couldn't figure out why a .dotx is different from a .docx and you want me to move him to Ubuntu?
I don't get how you all can be pointyheads with the computers and cavemen with a woodstove It's kinda funny readying cause you all are making jokes (least I think?) that 99% of us are thinking, WTF are these guys talking about?!
When I get on the computer I check email or a few website and that's about it. Everyone knows Al Gore invented the internet so he could look at free porn
If ya do it 9-10 hours a day, you look for something else to do on your off time. I do very little with puters in the evening. I don't even like to look at the TV at night. Worked on my still last night. (for making ethanol)
About 3,700 times at least.
Makes sense, same way a mechanics truck is usually the one that's falling apart, barely running.
Yeah - I have been doing this as a job for 24 years (counting military) and started messing with puters in about 1979. I dream in ones and zeros. Have been at my current post (computer dude extraordinaire) for 18 years and unless something unforeseen happens, I will retire from here.
hahahaha. maybe not for the average user yet. LOL. Its a great OS and it moves really fast on legacy hardware.
Oh - I am familiar with Ubuntu. I am also and IBMer. I run a mini-main for my operational software (sales order, purchase orders, inventory, payables, receivables, etc). You want to see something that can perform??? My IBM box is smokin' hot.
I know, I know...this is a fox link, but it is not politcal. Looks like the next version of Windowz (currently called windows blue, but will probably be renamed to win8.1) will have a direct to desktop option.
Isn't the the tribe where Obama was born?
I'm right there with Jags. After a full day dealing with this stuff (mostly telephone systems, virtually all of which have Linux or Windows servers that run right along side them), by the time I get home I want as little to do with technology as possible. The latest non technological activity at night is home brewing. Haven't done that in a while.
Nah. I think Ubuntu is the national religion of Kenya.
you know, OSX is linux based..and with the current flavor, Mountain Lion you get that whole toughness thing goin....grrrrawwwwrrrr.
Still hoping I live to use one of my favorite lines from a movie...Star Trek ?? (the one with the whales, the voyage home maybe?)
Scotty:"oh, a keyboard, how quaint".
I fully agree! I remember the 3 finger salute all too well lol.. Win 7 is excellent in my opinion for reasons you outlined and many other reasons... Love the search feature!
Like I said earlier, MS seems to get about every other one right. Sure I crashed a lot in Win 95, a whole lot. Win 98 SE was not perfect, but a lot better. Win ME was awful. 2000 and XP were better and easier to use, but Win7 is so far my fave. I see in Win 8.1 (Blue) they are going to return the Start button and boot straight to the desktop. That's a start.
My favorite OS on the desktop was OS/2. One of my desktop troops was in my office one day and looked at my monitor. In the bottom corner it showed that it had been up for 64 days. He said he was going back to take Windows off of his machine and put up OS/2.
I tried to give OS/2 a chance, I really did. But is was very unstable when I used it and most of the graphic apps I was trying to use in it were too dysfunctional. I decided I didn't want to be a beta tester for IBM.
for DOS there is always iDOS for the iPhone:
Yeah - OS/2 was pretty notorious for driver issues, but once you had a machine up and running (cleanly) - the sucker would just run.
Brig Brue?
Big Blue wouldn't be part of it. It is only for the X86 line of low end servers. I'm gonna be rock'in the POWER7+. The thing is a brute.
