Tucked away at Sonoma Valley High School, a group of inspired students – with the help of one dedicated teacher – are preparing to debut their films at the 17th annual Sonoma International Film Festival in a state-of-the art facility with specialized equipment funded by the proceeds of the film festival.
Peter Hansen has been working with the film festival, and leading students to their April debut through media arts classes at SVHS, for nearly 12 years. Prior to being a teacher, Hansen worked in the private sector for 10 years before deciding that he wanted to go back to school to pursue his passion for filmmaking and storytelling. With roots in broadcast journalism, Hansen easily navigated through film studies and ended up working in corporate media in Sonoma.
In 2002, he worked with high school students for SIFF's first student workshop. There he learned his passion for filmmaking extended beyond the camera to teaching students about films as well.
Now, Hansen works as a full-time teacher at the high school to incubate the future of Sonoma's filmmakers. The nonprofit Sonoma International Film Society, which produces the film festival, donates money to the high school to fund visual arts education, paying for software programs, computers, cameras and audio equipment for Hansen's classroom. It also funds a majority of Hansen's salary and pays students for film-related jobs and internships. Hansen allocates some of the money to give scholarships to students each year. With the assistance of SIFF board member Kimberly Hughes, Hansen even runs a middle school film program with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Sonoma Valley, exposing even younger Sonomans to filmmaking.
So far, Hansen said, almost $800,000 in donations has been made to the youth filmmaking program, with nearly 50 percent from SIFF and the rest from members of the community, especially those who learn about the program through SIFF.
The high school's video classroom started with just two computers and four cameras, Hansen explained. Today, it is furnished with plush red computer chairs, numerous Canon cameras, dozens of Apple computers and more.
Because of the film festival, Hansen said, he doesn't have to worry about funding for his class or limiting his students' abilities because the school doesn't have the budget to pay for necessary equipment. Instead, his biggest challenge is figuring out how to inspire and engage adolescents every day.
"You get students to talk and realize talking may not be words, so you let them talk through media," Hansen said of his tactic for engaging students. "This allows students to think, and it allows them to use their voice. Then creativity will follow."
Hansen teaches two levels of classes: a beginning class that focuses on storytelling and familiarizing students with cameras and editing equipment, and an advanced class that hones in on skills learned the first year.Students can also come for a third year as class mentors.
And students who pay attention leave Hansen's class with something much more valuable than knowing how to work a camera or edit a video – they learn they are capable of anything they set their minds to.
Senior Jen Howlett learned this firsthand after taking Hansen's class for three years. Howlett, a self-proclaimed "musical theater enthusiast" and "fanatic about films" has been acting since middle school. As an eighth grader, she participated in the middle school film workshop and has had a film – or been a part of a film – in the festival ever since.
Howlett has plans to attend a junior college before going off to audition for the Disney Academy. "My sisters want to be nurses and I want to be a Disney princess," she half-joked. After seeing the latest Disney-Pixar film "Frozen," Howlett said she would love an opportunity to act as lead character Anna, but is willing to take any position to get her foot in the door.
This year, Howlett has been interning for the film festival and, with the help of Hansen, will host director and writer Peter McEvilley, whose film "Le Sauvetage" will be featured. Howlett will also conduct a live question and answer session with the director and dogs.
To prepare for her big role at the festival this year, Howlett said she has been interviewing her peers and has been working as Hansen's assistant. She credits his drive and motivation for her own success and that of so many of her peers.
"I have never seen someone devote so much time to being a teacher as I have Mr. Hansen." Howlett said. "That's why he has the ability to awaken people's dreams – because he has that drive himself."
As part of the festival, students have a chance to present their films for the first time at the Sebastiani Theatre. This year, according to Hansen, students will show 17 films, three of which are from the middle school level. They range from three-minute public service announcements to 15-minute "feature" films. Students at the high school level have just about two months to create their films, from initial concepts to finalized pieces.
Lily Shahoian, a junior in Hansen's advanced film class, will be among the students premiering their films with her production that follows an autistic boy through high school.
Shahoian came up with the idea after watching "What's Eating Gilbert Grape" last year and thinking about the autistic students she has interacted with at school.
The young filmmaker not only researched autism to write the script for her film, but also handled all of the filming, directing and editing. She had a SVHS senior act as the autistic boy in the piece.
"I like how, when you hear a story, you can picture it in your head, but when you are a filmmaker you can actually show people exactly the picture in your head and you can make that come to life," Shahoian said, explaining why she loves filmmaking.
For Shahoian, who wants to be a paramedic after high school and eventually go onto a career in nursing to help people, the most important message of her film is that people with autism "are just like everyone else, if not more special because they are more intuitive."
She said it was Hansen's teaching of how to tell a story that really helped her develop the sensitive topic of living with autism into a film. "We learn how to use protools and software, but the more important thing is telling a story that you can build and portray to other people."
Shahoian feels nervous to show her film this year, uncertain how people will react to it. "People who have more experience (with autism) or know more about it may think I got things wrong … but my main goal is to help people, and I'm really driven by that and I felt like making this movie was the best thing I could do to bring awareness to it."
Sophomore Ashanti Ellyson is also nervous – but excited – to debut her film that deals with another sensitive subject. Ellyson, a student in Hansen's beginning film class, tackles the subject of sexuality in her film about a teenaged girl who has a boyfriend but questions her relationship and her sexuality.
Ellyson, who attended the middle school film workshop in seventh grade, said the film is not a movie about lesbianism, but about the very question of sexuality itself. The question, she explained, is something she has pondered in her own life. "I want people to feel a tolerance or an overall feeling of union and understanding when they see (my film)," she said. "I want high school kids to feel like they are accepting their selves."
Ellyson wrote, directed and filmed the six-minute film and hired actors to star in it.
As someone who is critical of movies, Ellyson is anxious to see how the audience interprets her film and how industry professionals receive her filmmaking.
Ellyson draws inspiration from French New Wave films and directors like Francois Truffaut, Jean-Luc Godard, Mary Harron and Woody Allen. She hopes to be a filmmaker after high school and pursue her love of cinematography.
For Hansen, seeing his students' films air in the festival is a culmination of pride and passion – a reinforcement of all that he does and a spark of the very love of filmmaking that started his journey a decade ago.
Sonoma Valley High School student films, and the middle school films, will be featured Thursday, April 3, at the Sebastiani Theatre, 476 First St. E., from 10 a.m. to noon.
The event is free, but seats are expected to fill up fast.
More information about the high school's film program and clips of student work can be found on the student-designed website, svhsvideo.com. For film festival details, visit sonomafilmfest.org.

Follow 10 steps to slow cooking success
It's almost like coming home and thinking someone else cooked for you while you were away—that aroma from a meal that's been cooking all day in the slow cooker.
Also known by their common brand name of Crock-Pot, slow cookers can simplify meal preparation, and following a few steps can ensure that the meal is cooked properly and safely, according to a Kansas State University/University of Missouri scientist. Plus, using a slow cooker can lower electricity use and keep the house cooler than using the stovetop or oven during warm weather.
"Slow cookers are a great way to prepare a delicious, hot meal on a more flexible preparation schedule, which works well for many people, including families with young children such as mine," said Londa Nwadike, who is a Kansas City-area based consumer food safety specialist with K-State Research and Extension and the University of Missouri Extension. She provided 10 tips to keep in mind while using slow cookers.
1. Keep perishable foods refrigerated until preparation time.
2. Make sure hands, utensils and work surfaces are clean.
3. Thaw meat completely before adding it to the slow cooker. It's OK to cook large cuts of meat and poultry, as long as it is thawed. Check the slow cooker instruction book for suggested maximum sizes of meat and poultry to cook in the cooker.
4. Preheat the cooker (be sure it is plugged in and turned on).
5. Fill the cooker 1/2 to 2/3 full. Liquid should almost cover any meat or poultry that is used. Start with hot liquids if possible.
6. If possible, turn the cooker on the highest setting for the first hour of cooking time and then to low if desired. Don't use the "keep warm" setting for cooking—only for keeping food warm.
7. Keep the lid in place as much as possible while cooking to keep the heat and steam trapped in the cooker.
8. Before eating, use a food thermometer to ensure the products have reached a safe temperature.
9. Put leftovers in the refrigerator in a shallow container. They will cool faster than if you put the crock itself in the refrigerator.
10. Don't use a slow cooker to reheat leftovers.
More information about food safety in general is available at K-State Research and Extension offices throughout Kansas and online at www.ksre.ksu.edu/foodsafety.

Guestbook comments from the owner
The Old Granary provides a wonderful space for a large party to all get together.
We arrived on a Friday afternoon and left on the Sunday having not needing to leave the house for anything in between.
The house and facilities were just what we needed and there was plenty of space so we didn't feel on top of each other.
I would highly recommend the "Treats at the Retreat" packages, from the moment we started planning our weekend, there was nothing that Karen didn't try and help provide for us and on the actual weekend, everything was better than we had hoped for, the food especially was restaurant quality and her team of helpers were amazing, especially the young man (The Butler) we had serving us canapes and cocktails on the Saturday evening!
A huge thank you to Karen for all your help in providing us an amazing weekend that all 17 of our guests enjoyed, most importantly the bride to be! xx

Kirsty Weakley wonders if it is time for Band Aid to hang up their microphones or if there is still a place in the fundraising landscape for a 30-year-old charity song?
Unicef is calling on people to record their own version of John Lennon's 'Imagine' to be used in multi-lingual version of the song, and Katy Perry, Hugh Jackman and Priyanka Chopra are among those that have appeared in a video to inspire people to take part.
Direct mail continues to raise more than other fundraising methods, but that doesn't mean there aren't some challenges ahead, says Tobin Aldrich.
The Big Lottery Fund awards millions of pounds to community groups and projects that improve health, education and the environment through its grant programmes. Managing bids can be challenging, but the Children's Society has been fine-tuning its processes for 18 years, says Eudora Pratt.
Royal British Legion has partnered with Sainsbury's for the supermarket's festive TV advert, Christmas is for Sharing, and will benefit from the profits of the sale of the chocolate bar featured.
Spot on Lucy, if a charity doesn't have a clear ambition, its absence will infect every fundraising ask they make. And that's daft.
» What would your charity do with a social fundraising windfall?
It's time to don a grey suit – fundraisers need to be more like accountants and learn how to read a balance sheet, says Andy Taylor.
Real progress is being made in self-regulation, but all fundraising charities should join the FRSB and make prominent use of the tick logo, says Jenna Pudelek.
The Royal British Legion explores the many ways to wear a poppy in our film of the week. Doctor Who actors David Tennant and Peter Capaldi are shown wearing it close to the heart, while others add a creative touch.

12 Tips to Make Your Blog Distinctive and Remarkable
A lot of blogs are popping in the World Wide Web, competing to gain and invite readers, the prime concern is to create a blog that is distinctive from others and remarkable to the eyes of the readers. But most new bloggers don't realize the difference between a professional and an amateur blog. Choosing a good design depends on you, you must have noticed beautiful and attractive layout. But, how will you do that? Here are some tips on making your blog exceptional.
1. Keep it simple
In making a blog, multiple options can be of great help, from colors, fancy fonts to nodes. So it's really enticing to put such designs on your blog that could result to cluttered blog, that is so complicated and visually disturbing for the eyes. Likewise, review your layout for latest designs so that your blog will not be outdated.
2. Change your template icons to a personalize one
The first thing to be edited in your blog is your banner, because it is the first thing that the readers will see, choose a design that satisfies your thoughts and make sure that it somehow relates to your topic. Most blogs come out-of-the-box with icons in your sidebar. These are common designs so why not make your own designed templates. Again designing a template should connect to your topic.
3. Use colors that is cool on the eyes
Be sensible in choosing your color scheme; don't put too much colors specially bright colors because there's a possibility that it can turn off readers and cause them to forget your blog.
4. Use appropriate theme
Avoid using preinstalled themes in your blogs. Look for a unique and better theme or at least change the header. So that your blog will not look like a duplicate of thousands of blogs, be remarkable so that the readers will remember your blog.
5. Make sure your blog title and Logo is clickable
Make your blog title clickable so that it will link your readers to your blog home page. Again, this is important for SEO purposes as well as from a user's perspective. Be sure also to include ALT and TITLE attributes for your home page. Also, make a logo that will give your banner a proficient look Instead of just words for your blog title, use an image that is eye catching and elegant.
6. Avoid using dark and eye irritating background
The theme you use matters, so I recommend to use a dark text with a light background but not a light text in a dark background because it is hard to read and eye irritating. If you think an image is good for a background I suggest that you make sure your content is readable. You may put the image at the side and then a light background.
7. Don't put too much Ads
A blog containing too much ads, widgets, games, awards, promos and other more makes your blog chaotic and may slows down everything. Prevent using another widget, many widgets serve no purpose and jus get in the way. If you really want to put a widget, limit yourself, don't just add everything you see or else it will make your blog messy.
8. Make a blog that shows a clear topic
To make your blog clear to the readers and easy to comprehend, make sure your banner have a title and a subtitle that makes certainty of who you are and what your topic is.
9. Prioritize your content than anybody else
Like what I've said don't put too much ads and widgets so that it will not draw away attention from your content. Consider your readers, make it easy to find the content of your post, don't tire them looking.
10. Make the text readable
In writing your post, use a considerable font size, don't make your readers use a magnifying glass. Your content is important it is the primary core of a blog, so don't use fancy small text. You will just make them click away from your blog, faster more than you expect.
11. Use colors to differentiate the navigation and content
Blending your layout is not a good idea, it can cause confusion to your readers- some of the lines within each post actually run into the navigation links. Several blogs have one or two sidebars alongside the content, sometimes with a horizontal navigation bar across the top as well. It helps to use a subtle background color for your navigation areas so it's clear where the content starts and ends.
12. Personalize your blog
Personalize your blog through putting subtitles, logo, a photo of you, there are a few ways to give your site its own identity. Modifying an existing theme of your choice can established and help your site.

Study helps Tennessee lawmaker Bill Dunn slam pre-k
"a longtime pre-k skeptic"...
Maybe his mind is already made up, and he gets points from his political base for bashing Pre-k...but I'd be curious to ask Mr. Dunn what he thinks about early childhood development and education for his own 5 children.
from the Pre-K report itself: "Arguably, the greatest limitation of this study is that educational records do not indicate whether students participated in any Pre-K program other than Tennessee's Pre-K"
So what are we really comparing? We don't know if the other kids went to Pre-k or not. TN Pre-k is providing a number of students with early development and literacy that they otherwise wouldn't have. It's clear from Vanderbilt's study that Pre-K is making a difference.
The Strategic Research Group's report found that some of the gains fade out by 3rd grade, again, not against a control group of kids. Is that more a problem of K-3 and the early elementary teachers?
Also, to emphasize -- we're measuring test scores -- not social/emotional indicators -- and long term indications if that student will graduate high school or how many crimes he or she will commit.
Gets me back to point #1 -- if early literacy and cognitive development is important for Mr. Dunn and his children, why not every child in Tennessee, especially those who might not be as privileged to be in the income bracket of Mr. Dunn?

House Language Could Provide Head Start for BRAC Authorization, Conger Says
- May 12, 2014
- comments: 0
Language approved by the House Armed Services Committee last week calling for a comprehensive assessment of the need for additional base closures and realignments could provide the Pentagon a jump on a new BRAC round, according to John Conger, acting deputy undersecretary of defense for installations and environment. "They have given us the preamble pieces," Conger told American Forces Press Service. "All of which take time and if we execute them, all will allow a BRAC authorization on a shorter timetable."

Rochester, Minn.
Describes the nature of a clinical study. Types include:
During the early phases (phases 1 and 2), researchers assess safety, side effects, optimal dosages and risks/benefits. In the later phase (phase 3), researchers study whether the treatment works better than the current standard therapy. They also compare the safety of the new treatment with that of current treatments. Phase 3 trials include large numbers of people to make sure that the result is valid. There are also less common very early (phase 0) and later (phase 4) phases. Phase 0 trials are small trials that help researchers decide if a new agent should be tested in a phase 1 trial. Phase 4 trials look at long-term safety and effectiveness, after a new treatment has been approved and is on the market.
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of oncolytic measles virus encoding thyroidal sodium iodide symporter (MV-NIS) infected mesenchymal stem cells and to see how well it works in treating patients with recurrent ovarian cancer. Mesenchymal stem cells may be able to carry tumor-killing substances directly to ovarian cancer cells.

This study first is designed to see what dose of indigo carmine ingested orally mixed with the standard colonoscopy prep is needed to provide adequate staining of the right colon. It then will use this adequate staining concentration of Indigo Carmine to study whether this dye will increase the detection of polyps during colonoscopy.

The purpose of this study is to further advance the ability to practice personalized medicine by learning which new drug agents are most effective with which types of breast cancer tumors and by learning more about which early indicators of response (tumor analysis prior to surgery via magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images along with tissue and blood samples) are predictors of treatment success.

The purpose of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), activity, and safety of oprozomib in patients with hematologic malignancies.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of Cabozantinib (XL184) compared with Everolimus (Afinitor) on progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in subjects with advanced renal cell cancer that has progressed after prior VEGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate safety and efficacy of AT13387 Alone and in Combination with Crizotinib in the Treatment of Non-small Cell Lung Cancer.
Recent reports have identified a specific oncogenic mutation L265P of the MYD88 gene in approximately 90% of the patients with Waldenström's macroglobulinemia. MYD88 is a key linker protein in the signaling pathway of Toll Like Receptors (TLRs) 7, 8, and 9, and IMO-8400 is an oligonucleotide specifically designed to inhibit TLRs 7,8, and 9. The scientific hypothesis for use of IMO-8400 to treat patients with Waldenström's macroglobulinemia depends on the inhibition of mutant MYD88 signaling in the TLR pathway, thereby interrupting the proliferation of cell populations responsible for the propagation of the disease.
This research trial studies gene expression in patients with metastatic prostate cancer receiving cytochrome P45017 (CYP-17) inhibition therapy. Studying samples of tissue, blood, and urine in the laboratory from patients receiving CYP-17 inhibition therapy may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and identify biomarkers related to cancer. It may also help doctors understand how well patients respond to treatment.
The rationale for this trial is to demonstrate the feasibility and safety of allogeneic HCT for patients with chemotherapy-sensitive hematological malignancies and coincident HIV-infection. In particular, the trial will focus on the 100-day non-relapse mortality as an indicator of the safety of transplant in this patient population. Correlative assays will focus upon the incidence of infectious complications in this patient population, the evolution of HIV infection and immunological reconstitution. Where feasible (and when this can be accomplished without compromise of either the donor quality or the timeliness of transplantation), an attempt will be made to identify donors who are homozygotes for the delta32 mutation for CCR5.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Nivolumab is effective in the treatment of DLBCL in patients that have failed or are ineligible for ASCT

That sounds a very worth-while cause, Nick.. how did you find out about this, are you affiliated with the RNIB or friends/family?
Okay, this is IT-related, but isn't school-related, so I think it's okay on this board...
The RNIB (Royal National Institute for Blind and Partially-Sighted People) provide technical support for members' home computers, supporting access technologies for the visually-impaired as well as "normal" software and hardware; their clients are not necessarily completely blind, many are only partially-sighted or have a specific visual impairment. This support is given by a small army of local volunteers who give a few hours of their time on an ad-hoc basis - unfortunately, this army is too small and the RNIB are looking for more people who could assist them in this way.
They need volunteers all over the country, however right now are particularly interested in finding more people in the OX postcode region, as well as MK and NN. You can choose how large or small your area is, there is no minimum time commitment as you are only called on when someone needs help, and you are free to decline any job if its not convenient (the clients contact RNIB who in turn contact you).
If you feel this is something which you could do, or want a bit more information about what it entails, please contact me either on this thread of by PM.
That sounds a very worth-while cause, Nick.. how did you find out about this, are you affiliated with the RNIB or friends/family?
I am one of RNIB's volunteers, and I found out about it via IT4Communities, an organisation which tries to find volunteers to assist charities with specific IT projects.
The RNIB is a charity which has been close to me since my late grandmother was diagnosed with glaucoma and spent her latter years in RNIB sheltered accommodation. She was reliant on Radio 4 for the news and the only books or information to which she had access was the tiny amount which had been recorded to tape (and this was before the recent uptake in audio books) or what her carers could read to her. The breadth of information now available on the Internet changes that, so for many blind and partially-sighted people, their computers are essential parts of their lives (even more so than they are for geeks like us!).
The work I do for them enables me to meet some wonderful people and provide IT support in an environment where the user is genuinely grateful and doesn't make stupid demands (but does make coffee!) - it's everything I like about my job without any of the things I don't!
how much do they pay?
*I'll get my coat*
Pretty much the same as some schools pay their IT techs :-)Originally Posted by StewartKnight
You can do some good work - I was an RNIB volunteer for many years - but I got a bit hacked off after a visit to their HQ - not just the huge foyer with fountains and water feature - but the woman who was showing me round talking about how she had flown up from London that morning (to Peterborough) because it was so much better than driving.
I started to wonder why I was giving my time for free...
thats shockingOriginally Posted by SpuffMonkey
That is awful. Weren't NSPCC pulled up recently too for spending more on marketing than they did on projects?
Maybe the thing to do is to concentrate on the benefit you bring to the person you're working with; that is good, even if the bigger picture is a bit bleaker.

Oscar Watch: L.A. Critics Pick "WALL-E"
The Los Angeles Film Critics Association announced their annual awards yesterday and not only did they go popular ("WALL-E"), they went popular twice (runner-up for best pic was "The Dark Knight"). This is in direct contrast to their recent history. Throughout the decade, L.A. critics have awarded best picture to character studies or quiet, somber films, drained of color, in which something horrific happens and is then resolved ambiguously or painstakingly:
2007: There Will Be Blood
2006: Letters from Iwo Jima
2005: Brokeback Mountain
2004: Sideways
2003: American Splendor
2002: About Schmidt
2001: In the Bedroom
2000: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
Not a lot of laughs there. I guess not a lot of laughs in "WALL-E" or "Dark Knight," either. This is not criticism, by the way. My best pics this decade, which would include "Crouching Tiger" and "Brokeback Mountain," were mostly somber films: "The Pianist" in 2002, for example.
So a break from their recent history but not from their history. The Association, which has obviously differed over the years (you can see their current membership here), has often awarded bold, popular movies. I'm thinking "Star Wars" in 1977, "E.T." in 1982 and "Pulp Fiction" in 1994. I'd add "L.A. Confidential" and "The Insider," two Russell Crowe movies from the late '90s, but, as good as these movies were, I don't think they were ever popular at the box office.
Here are their picks over the years:
1999: The Insider
1998: Saving Private Ryan
1997: L.A. Confidential
1996: Secrets & Lies
1995: Leaving Las Vegas
1994: Pulp Fiction
1993: Schindler's List
1992: Unforgiven
1991: Bugsy
1990: Goodfellas
1989: Do the Right Thing
1988: Little Dorrit
1987: Hope & Glory
1986: Hannah and Her Sisters
1985: Brazil
1984: Amadeus
1983: Terms of Endearment
1981: Atlantic City
1980: Raging Bull
1979: Kramer vs. Kramer
1978: Coming Home
1977: Star Wars
1976: Network & Rocky
1975: One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest & Dog Day Afternoon
Not a bad list. I'd also recommend checking out the LAFCA Web site, which is clean and well-designed for this kind of research.
The rest of their picks for this year, including Best Actor (Sean Penn) and Best Supporting Actor (Heath Ledger) can be found here.

Oseltamivir Infant Influenza Safety Study
- Full Text View

- How to Read a Study Record
In June 2009, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared a global pandemic of influenza A (H1N1). Although little is known about the pandemic influenza strain in children, during previous pandemics and influenza seasons children less than one year of age were shown to be at higher risk of influenza complications than older children. In light of the 2009 H1N1 pandemic situation, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), European Medicines Agency (EMA), and Health Canada issued emergency authorizations for oseltamivir to be used to treat and prevent influenza in infants under 1 year of age. It is anticipated that oseltamivir use in infants will dramatically increase due to the new authorizations for use in this population and high prevalence of H1N1 influenza circulating in the population. Ongoing safety surveillance is critical and this study will provide further data for evaluating the risk/benefit ratio of prescribing oseltamivir to this population in the current milieu of both seasonal and pandemic influenza viruses circulating in the population. The study will also provide useful information on the dose and duration of treatment used in clinical practice and their relationship to adverse events.
Influenza, Human
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Observational Model: Cohort
Time Perspective: Prospective
|Official Title:
|A Prospective, Observational Safety Study in Children <= 24 Months of Age Receiving Oseltamivir for the Treatment or Prophylaxis of Influenza Infection
- Number of subjects with Adverse Events [ Time Frame: Study Day 7 post-baseline ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]Information on the number of subjects with AEs will be collected at 7 days post-baseline. AEs include influenza symptoms and associated complications solicited from parent/legal guardian; secondary complications of influenza reported by physician, including otitis media and bacterial infections; and any other non-serious and serious AEs.
- Number of subjects with Adverse Events [ Time Frame: Study Day 30 post-baseline ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]Information on the number of subjects with AEs will be collected at 30 days post-baseline. AEs include influenza symptoms and associated complications solicited from parent/legal guardian; secondary complications of influenza reported by physician, including otitis media and bacterial infections; and any other non-serious and serious AEs.
- Number of subjects treated with oseltamivir [ Time Frame: Day 30 post baseline ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]Data on dosage and duration of treatment with oseltamivir in real-world practice are collected. The aim is to examine the relationship of adverse events to the regimen of oseltamivir.

George Chavignaud
Artist Summary
Georges Chavignaud, born in France became a great admirer of French Impressionism. Primarily a landscape artist and watercolorist, most of his paintings were inspired by his European roots. He described himself as, "a painter of Canadian sunshine and colour". Price Range: $2,000
Full Biography
George Chavignaud (1865-1944)
Born September 24 in Finistere, near Brest, France. His father was an author, musician, and art collector. As a boy he watched Corot paint which would influence his work later in life. He attended the College Charlemagne in Paris. He became a great admirer of French Impressionism and later embraced this style but used the darker palette of the Barbizon School.
He came to Canada in 1884 and settled in Toronto, working as an art director for a Canadian Publishing firm. While recovering from an illness, he met and married a Canadian woman from Brantford. He and his wife traveled to Belgium in 1904 where he painted and studied under Isidore Verheyden at the Academie Royale des Beaux-Arts in Brussels and Jacob Smets in Antwerp. He became a very proficient water colourist and was praised personally by King Leopold of Belgium. He was an elected member of the Society of Water Colour Painters of Belgium.
Chavignaud and his wife returned to Canada a year later and settled in the Meadowvale. He became a founding member of the short-lived Associated Water Colour Painters. In 1912 he was offered a position as Principal at the Victoria School of Design in Halifax and he remained there until 1916. He produced many Maritime scenes while living in Halifax, but most of his landscapes were inspired by his European roots. He was primarily a landscape artist and watercolourist but paintings done in his later years were done in oil. He is represented in the National Gallery by a windmill scene, and a piece titled "Sun Set in the Mists".
Chavignaud moved back to Ontario and settled in the Kleinburg area. He was a founding member of the Arts and Letters Club in Toronto. He was elected to the Ontario Society of Artists in 1900. He was very much a traditionalist and was offended by the Group of Seven exhibits and resigned from the society in protest in 1917. He exhibited regularly at the Royal Canadian Academy from 1902-1918.
He described himself as, "a painter of Canadian sunshine and colour". He died May 4 1944 in Meadowvale, Ontario.
Artist's Statement
A traditionalist, he was offended by the Group of Seven and resigned from the O.S.A. in protest of their work being shown. He lived in Etobicoke from 1910-1912.

August, 2014 - Online Banking Update
On August 5, 2014, the New York Times posted an article in regards to hackers obtaining 1.2 billion internet passwords. Click here to read the article. Many consumers use the same Access ID and password for their online financial accounts as they use for other online websites. Even though financial institutions were not the target of the hackers, consumers should be aware of the potential vulnerability of using the same Access ID and password for online financial accounts as other online accounts and websites. Because of this, Choice Bank encourages our customers to consider changing your Access IDs and passwords, or at least updating all current online passwords to something new. To change your password on your online banking account please log into your online banking, click the "Options" section, and under the Password section click the Edit box. If you have any questions please contact us at 920-230-1300.

Once inside online banking, users are able to verify the site's identity and security by checking the brower's address box. The new Extended Validation (EV) certificate triggers web browsers to display a green address bar and our site provider's name. Fiserv, Inc is our site provider, and if it's green, your connection is safe. Depending on your internet browser the EV certificate may display differently. The enhancement uses advanced device forensics that seamlessly authenticates the connection to your tablet, computer or phone. Please contact 920-230-1300 with any questions.
April, 2014 - Customers with Windows XP Operating Systems
After April 8, 2014, Microsoft will no longer provide security updates or technical support for Windows XP. This puts your passwords and the use of online services, like online banking, at increased risk. Security updates patch vulnerabilities that may be exploited by malware and help keep users and their data safer. PCs running Windows XP after April 8, 2014 should not be considered to be protected, and it is important that you migrate to a current supported operating system so you can receive regular security updates to protect your computer from malicious attacks.
April, 2014 - Choice Bank services not affected by OpenSSL Software Vulnerability ('Heartbleed")
On April 7, the OpenSSL organization publicized a new, critical vulnerability called "Heartbleed," which is associated with certain versions of OpenSSL software. What is the potential risk? The vulnerability within OpenSSL could allow a remote attacker to expose sensitive data which may include user authentication credentials and secret security key codes. Basically, they had a bug in the memory handling part of their software known as the "TLS heartbeat extension".
We have been in contact with our vendors who provide web-based services that we utilize to provide banking services to our customers and provide security here at the bank. Our vendors have assured us that there has not been a compromise by this vulnerability. We, along with our vendors, will continue to monitor the situation in conjunction with the security community and technology partners.

According to the Glen Cove Police Department, on July 6, at approximately 2 p.m., a 61-year-old male entered the King Kullen Supermarket on Forest Avenue, and attempted to commit a robbery.
According to police, the defendant, Lorenzo B. Knight, a Glen Cove resident, approached the courtesy counter, placed a black mask over his face, displayed a black colored handgun and allegedly demanded cash from a female store employee. The frightened cashier seeing the gun, and fearing for her safety, screamed and ran behind a wall. The would-be robber then ran from the store empty handed in an unknown direction of travel. Store personnel called 911 with a detailed description of the robber and responding officers began searching the area. A Nassau County Aviation Unit and K-9 Unit were requested by the Glen Cove Police, and assisted with the search.
Mayor Ralph V. Suozzi is pleased to report an update on the rehabilitation of the Cedar Swamp Road entrance into our community. The Cedar Swamp Revitalization Project began in 2007 as a joint study between Nassau County and the City of Glen Cove. The study included an extensive public involvement process, done through a series of workshops and public meetings sponsored by Nassau County and the City of Glen Cove. Hosted by Mayor Suozzi and the former County Executive Tom Suozzi, these meetings were well attended by residents, stakeholders, local and county staff and a team of consultants. The ideas and feedback of the participants were utilized in order to ensure a conceptual plan would reflect broad community input.
Joan Harrison, a longtime resident of Glen Cove, has created her second photographic history of her beloved town in the book, Glen Cove Revisited. Through the images of this book, Harrison explores the history of the area, focusing on the rural and industrial roots of Glen Cove. The photographs revisit the waterfront and the old hotels of Glen Cove as well as the residents of the patrician and working class.
On Tuesday, June 1, Mayor Ralph V. Suozzi was joined at the groundbreaking ceremony for the Glen Cove Ferry Project and Boat Basin by a very special guest. Emma Flahive, a seventh-grader at All Saints Regional School, was proud to serve as "Mayor for a Day."
In the fall, Mayor Suozzi was asked to participate in a fundraiser for All Saints Regional School, located here in Glen Cove. He was happy to donate the very first opportunity for one lucky student to serve as "Mayor for A Day." Emma's grandmother was the winner of the auction and Mayor Suozzi invited Emma Flahive and her family to join him for this groundbreaking ceremony.
People gathered at the Holocaust Museum and Tolerance Center in Glen Cove to hear about "Law Enforcement and Society: Lessons of the Holocaust," a program meant to train officers about respecting people and shedding prejudices.
This program is required for all Nassau and Suffolk police cadets in order for them to graduate. Over 50,000 police officers throughout the country have taken the course since it started 11 years ago.
The North Shore High School Interact Club presented a check to "The Friends of Montfort" in the amount of $5,000. These funds were raised by the Interact Club by taking part in last year's Sea Cliff Mini Mart, garage sales and various concerts. The Interact Club is supported by the Glen Head Rotary Club whose members act as mentors for the students.
Carol Cirina was a guest of honor at the February membership meeting of Post 336. Commander William Laderer presented nurse Cirina with a Certificate of Appreciation honoring her for her 30 years of service caring for our veterans at the Northport Veterans Affairs Medical Center.
Nurse Cirina made a presentation to the Legionnaires describing her duties and all the services that are available to the Northport Veterans Medical Center. In addition to the certificate, the members presented Carol with a beautiful bouquet of roses.
Mayor Ralph V. Suozzi was pleased to announce the commencement of construction on the new Glen Cove Ferry Terminal and Boat Basin. This exciting announcement came as local, state and federal elected officials joined Mayor Suozzi on June 1 for the official groundbreaking ceremony for one of Glen Cove's most significant transportation projects.
The May meeting of the Glen Head-Glenwood Business Association featured a presentation by Felice Randall, Town of Oyster Bay director of community development. Ms. Randall detailed the resources available to local business owners through the Town of Oyster Bay. The two main programs highlighted were related to funding available for business signage and facades. In both cases there is money available to the business owner through the Town of Oyster Bay.
On May 26, a meeting for the public was held at the North Shore Country Club in Glen Head about improvements to Scudder's Pond and the watershed. The Hempstead Harbor Protection Committee (HHPC), an inter-municipal organization made up of the nine municipalities surrounding Hempstead Harbor, and the Village of Sea Cliff conducted the meeting. Residents came out to ask questions and hear a presentation on what is in store.
The HHPC reported several years ago that Scudder's Pond was one of the major sources of contamination to Hempstead Harbor. Since then, major efforts have been made to attain grants funds and perform restorations to the site.
