Restricted to Repository staff only
Rural electrification by extension lines bears a high cost and is difficult to implement due to various administrative and social problems. Solar electric power can meet a large variety of small-scale decentralised energy needs and solve most of the problems mentioned above. Most of the energy needs can be provided by photovoltaic systems and in wind prevailing areas combined systems with photovoltaics and wind engines. Photovoltaics can be used to pump water, run fans for solar dryers, power telephone and signal service systems, provide household power units or a communal recreation center, etc. Wind engines can be used for direct driving of mechanical equipment like water pumps, mills, etc., or for electrical energy generation. Proposal on the types of systems and its adaptability to the Malaysian rural areas is made. It is envisaged that the price of photovoltaics and other solar electrical power systems would decrease with advancement in technology and automation so as to upset the costs for conventional electric power systems for rural areas.

I am an avid skier in the winter seasons. Even though I have a pretty good amount of experience, I still am not immune to the occasional tumble. This last ski season, I went end over end before coming to a stop in the powder.
Luckily, I mostly had minor mumps and bruises, but I did sprain my wrist rather badly. It was not an injury where an ace bandage was going to suffice.
My doctor used Orthoplast to create a wrist splint and brace that fit perfectly and was light weight. I have had casts before, and much prefer the use of Orthoplast. I found it to be more comfortable while I was healing.

Eric Abidal Negotiating Contract Extension with Barcelona
July 21, 2011 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Parvez Fatteh, TMO, Founder of http://sportingummah.com, email@example.com
Barcelona have reopened contract extension negotiations with Muslim left-back Eric Abidal. This was reported by Barcelona's sporting director Andoni Zubizarreta earlier this week. Just four months ago, Abidal was fighting for his life after a tumor was discovered in his liver. He subsequently underwent surgery in March to have the tumor removed. And he was able to recover so remarkably quickly that he was able to return to action on May 3rd. And he even made an appearance in Barcelona's Champions League final win over Manchester United later that month.
Abidal was born in Lyon, France, but is of Martinique descent. Before joining Barcelona in 2007 he played for Lyon and Lille in France, and Monaco before that. He has 55 caps for the French national squad, having made his international debut in August of 2004. He most recently played center back for France in their disappointing 2010 World Cup campaign.
Currently, Abidal only has one year remaining on his current contract, and Barcelona appears eager to retain the 32-year-old defender's services. "We made Abidal the offer of a new contract before his illness," said Zubizarreta during a press conference. "Discussions have started again and we will try to come to an agreement. It will take time but we hope that we can conclude a deal and make an announcement soon."
Reports in the Spanish press are that Barcelona had initially offered Abidal the two-year deal that he wanted, only to withdraw the offer and come back with a proposal to give him a rolling one-year contract instead. Such rumors could make for a contentious negotiating environment, but both sides seem to have avoided stirring controversy. "Eric has stated on numerous occasions that he wants to stay at Barcelona and finish his career at the club," the player's agent David Venditelli told Catalan television station TV3 last month.
French Fast Food Chain Quick Sparks Halal Burger Appeal
February 28, 2010 by TMO · Leave a Comment
A French council has lodged a complaint against a fast food chain that serves only meat that conforms with Islamic dietary laws at a local branch.
The mayor of Roubaix, in northern France, said the halal menu constituted "discrimination" against non-Muslims.
The Roubaix branch is one of several restaurants at which the chain, Quick, took non-halal products and pork off the menu in November.
The move has triggered the latest row over France's Muslim minority.
Several deputies from French President Nicolas Sarkozy's conservative UMP party have condemned the move, while Marine Le Pen, a vice-president of the far-right National Front, warned of "Islamisation".
Their comments came ahead of regional elections in France next month, and against the backdrop of a debate over French national identity launched by Mr Sarkozy's government.
'Going too far'
In Roubaix, Mayor Rene Vandierendonck, a socialist, called for a boycott of the Quick branch, and the town council has filed a complaint for discrimination with a regional court in Lille.
"I'm not bothered by the fact that there is a halal menu," Mr Vandierendonck said.
"But this is going too far because it is the only menu on offer and it has become discrimination."
Quick decided to take a bacon hamburger off the menu at eight of its 350 branches, replacing it with a halal version that comes with smoked turkey.
It said the move was designed to test the "commercial interest and technical feasibility" of introducing halal menus.
The Quick manager responsible for the Roubaix branch said there had been a slight increase in business after the introduction of halal menus and that he had not received complaints from customers, AFP news agency reported.
France is home to Europe's biggest Muslim minority, estimated at more than five million people.
Debate has recently focused on the Islamic veil, with a French parliamentary committee recommending a partial ban on women wearing Islamic face veils last month.

Modular CubesPrice: $120.00
Way Basics Modular Cubes are truly modular in every sense of the word, offering endless configurations and possibilities for the design guru. Each Cube is a separate unit. So designs can be reconfigured on a whim. Stack them side to side, on top of each other or get creative and build a pyramid and ladder design. Mix and match colors or just keep it simple with a single shade. Select from eight exciting colors.
Way Basics has created modular furniture with a purpose. Easy to assemble with no tools required. Just peel, stick and you're done. Each piece is constructed of zBoards, which are less than half the weight of particle board, pressed wood, or plywood furniture and just as strong! zBoards are sustainably made from recycled paper and completely recyclable. The Modular Cubes from the Possibility Series is made to congregate and coordinate with Way Basics' entire collection. Combine this piece with any of the Way Basics furniture line for a customized storage unit.
Made from zBoard Recycled Paperboard, formaldehyde and VOC free. zBoards are lighter than wood and water-resistant.
Eco Friendly
Material(s): 90% recycled/post-consumer waste paper; Kraft colorway is 100% recycled post-consumer waste paper
Dimensions: Each cube: 11.2" L X 13.4" W X 12.8" H
Manufacturer: Way Basics
Way Basics Recycled Furniture
If you need simple, basic furniture that's practical and versatile, Way Basics is for you. Way Basics zBoards are easy to put together, sustainably made and completely recyclable. Buy them in pre-designed kits. Or go your own way, and use zBoards as inspiration to invent custom designs and build something new into your life.
No Waste
It took Way Basics 10 years to perfect the ingenious building-block zBoards at the heart of their business. Their patented, environmentally sound manufacturing process turns post-consumer recycled paper into superbly strong boards that weigh 62% less than particle board. zBoards are just as solid and structurally sound as any engineered wood furniture, yet they're made from one of the simplest materials ever — paper.
Way Basics designed these marvelous building boards to be versatile and easy to assemble, and came up with a new way to put the pieces together. Strategically placed super-strong adhesive tape is the answer — all you do is peel off the protective covering, stick the blocks together, and you're done. If you're creating your own design with zBoards, you can also use screws or hardware if you like. zBoards are water-resistant and easy to clean. They come in different colors and both light and dark wood-grain designs, so you have options to fit your décor. They're also available in white, which makes a perfect canvas for your own imagination.
No Tools
In these Way Basics packages, you won't find mysterious collections of screws and nails, or complicated diagrams and instructions. That's because you can put our unique zBoards together without tools or hardware. Super-strong 3M brand adhesive strips let you fit the pieces neatly together. Just peel, stick and you're done. Honest.
No Rules
Because they're so easy to assemble and so versatile, you can also mix and match zBoards to fulfill your furniture fantasies. Since Way Basics products are modular, it's easy to add on to your creation if you need more storage or want to use it for a different purpose. Then paint, wallpaper, or embellish them any way you like as well. (Kids love to decorate their own Way Basics stuff.) That's something you definitely don't get with most assembly-required furniture.View other products from Way Basics

Valentine's Day Tea Party
For a novel approach to Valentine's Day, consider our Alice in Wonderland-themed soiree.
By Jourdan Crouch
Let Them Eat Cake
Put a personal stamp on store-bought treats with tiny EAT ME flags. To craft each banner, Murphy cut a small strip of card stock, trimming one end into an inverted arrow. She then used alphabet stamps to spell out the message, and glued the banner to a toothpick. The final step: Planting the flags in pretty cupcakes, each displayed on a mini cake pedestal. "I love the luxury of every guest getting her own stand," Murphy says.

TOPEKA, Kansas (WIBW) -- A Kansas judge has refused to quickly strike down a sweeping anti-abortion law enacted this year by the Legislature.
Shawnee County District Judge Rebecca Crotty this week rejected arguments that lawmakers violated a provision in the Kansas Constitution requiring most legislation to address only one subject.
Crotty's ruling did not resolve other issues in the lawsuit filed in June by Doctor Herbert Hodes and his daughter, Doctor Traci Nauser. Their lawyer, Rene Netherton, said Friday that challenges to individual provisions in the law will move forward.
The state and the anti-abortion group Kansans for Life saw the ruling as a victory.
The law blocks tax breaks for abortion providers and prohibits them from furnishing instructors or materials for public school courses on sexuality.

"By foreclosing these options and failing to create a long-term detention regime that puts a priority on intelligence collection and keeping terrorists out of the United States- combined with reluctance to consult or collaborate with Congress on these issues- the Administration has forced Congress to take action on these issues. These concerns are only heighted given the decision to handle Warsame's case in a manner that directly contradicts pending legislation."
The full text of the letter is available here.
In speaking about the letter, Chairman McKeon said:
"The Warsame case should be a reminder to us all that the United States will continue to capture al-Qaeda associated terrorists around the world. The FY12 National Defense Authorization Act, which this House passed in May on a bi-partisan basis, prohibited the transfer of such terrorists to the United States. At the same time, our bill reaffirmed that the President is leading an armed conflict against al Qaeda and its allies and has the legal authority to detain these terrorists. The United States must have a comprehensive detention and prosecution policy to deal with future captures and we cannot leave it solely to the courts to interpret the President's authority. I am interested to hear what consistent standard the President will apply, since he has chosen to ignore the House's clear intent."
On Tuesday the full House Armed Services Committee will address this and related issues at a hearing titled "Ten Years After the 2001 Authorization for the Use of Military Force: Current Status of Legal Authorities, Detention, and Prosecution in the War on Terror.

Vt. man denies horse cruelty chargeThe Associated Press | January 29,2013SHELBURNE - A Shelburne man has pleaded not guilty to one count of animal cruelty after three horses were seized from his home.
Sixty-three-year-old George Wilson, a former newsman at WCAX-TV in South Burlington, says authorities overreacted and he plans to contest the charge.
A stallion and two mares are being cared for at Spring Hill Horse Rescue in Clarendon after officials said the horses were found in small, dark stalls, standing in manure and surrounded by the remains of deceased horses.
A judge on Tuesday dropped a charge against Wilson's wife, 64-four-year-old Ann Gilbreth, saying he could not find probable cause because the police affidavit did not show that she also owned the horses.MORE IN This Just InBURLINGTON - The Auxiliary Bishop of Indianapolis has been appointed the 10th Bishop of...

Every once in awhile, while you are busy living your life and distracted by all the shiny, noisy stuff out there competing for your attention, the universe will find a way to nag you about something. Something that you've been ignoring. For a little too long.
It tugs at your sleeve, and you might not notice the first tug or even the second. But after more than a few tugs in the same direction, you begin to wonder – is it your imagination, or is something in the ether trying to tell you something?
When this sort of thing happens, I pay attention, because it's usually important. Important enough to stop and take a hard look at what these quiet little signals are pointing to.
It's funny how in our own little world we think everything is normal. We go along, doing what we do, not exactly thinking about the way we are, and how that affects the people around us. Hopefully we are affecting the world in a positive way – and I think everyone starts out with this intent – but our efforts aren't always received in the way we intend them.

Dante, an 8 year old Belgian Tervuren, and I, a professional dog trainer, have been a Delta Society Pet Partners team for about 5 years. Dante has earned many American Kennel Club awards in Obedience, Rally and Agility; his most favorite venue is Agility. He has also been trained in Herding and Tracking. Dante has been approved to work in complex areas and has a great love for children of all ages, so we chose to volunteer with the Seattle/King County Humane Society in their Dog Safety program for schools. During the school year we visit at least one school a week with the MaxMobile and meet children from Kindergarten up to high school age.The Seattle/King County Dog Safety program is designed to teach children how to properly greet dogs and their people. We teach the children to always ask before approaching a dog and where it is okay to touch a dog. We often meet children that are afraid of dogs due to a bite, or other frightening incident. Several months ago, we met a young child from Serbia that had been attacked by a pack of feral dogs that lived in the forest near her home. She had several scars from injuries that occurred during the attack and was very afraid of Dante. She thought that he looked like a wolf and preferred to stay in the back of the classroom, away from Dante. As we talked about dog safety and the other children started petting Dante, she could see that he was friendly and enjoyed being in their classroom. He performed a few tricks and the children laughed and asked for more. As Dante moved among the children, the young girl moved closer to him. After about twenty minutes, she asked if she could touch him on his back. As she approached Dante, he became very quiet and sat, turning his head away from her and wagging his tail. She touched him softly and after a few moments talked to him very quietly; Dante licked her hand. As we were leaving a while later, she told me that "Dante is a nice wolf" and wanted to know if she could visit him again. She was still afraid of dogs, but meeting Dante gave her a different vision of dogs and she was willing to give them another chance. Dante's quiet greeting and friendliness put a smile on her face that came from her heart.When visiting with older children and young adults, we teach them to always treat animals with respect and kindness. This age group often has questions about dog care, behavior and training. It is always fun to show them how to teach a dog a trick and explain how to do so with kindness rather than punishment when the dog does not understand what we want him to do. Their questions are often well thought out and always interesting. A young man at one of the middle schools wanted to know if I could train his little sister to behave as well as Dante who had been in a sit stay for about 20 minutes. Many of the students want to know if I can tell them how to train their dogs in some very basic behaviors. It is always surprises me to see the surprise on their faces when they realize that a dog is highly intelligent and can be trained to assist people in many, many ways. We often discuss dogs that can detect cancer, search and rescue dogs, bomb detection dogs, Seeing Eye dogs, and therapy and service dogs of all types. Dante will often retrieve an object that they select or go through a series of sits, downs, stands, and come to me all directed by hand signals, rather than voice commands. Dante's demonstrations of these exercises and other "tricks" gives them greater understanding and empathy for the creatures in their lives that walk on four legs, rather than two. In working with these children, it is my hope that Dante and I can give them a better understanding of the nature of dogs and our relationships with all animals. If we can teach the children empathy for the animals in our care, we are a step closer to teaching them empathy for each other.

We do love our pets, that's for sure.If any proof is needed, just take a look at statistics released recently by Packaged Facts and reported in MediaPost's Marketing Daily. Even in the worst recession in decades, spending on pet products and services increased 5 percent -- up $2.5 billion last year to total $53 billion.My household has certainly contributed to that increase. Some spending last year on Loki, our 9-year old black Lab -- * A tooth absess and tooth extraction ($2,200)* A fractured vertabrae disc, thankfully healed now ($2,000)* Ongoing skin allergies, requiring vet and alergist and dermatologist treatments ($1,200)My Oxford Health Plan doesn't cover Loki, and the IRS won't let me include those medical expenses in my Deductibles.But that's ok -- Loki is our third child, and he's the only one who hasn't left home after college. He's always there, happy to see us when we come home, regardless of if we've been away for five minutes or five hours. He greets us, tail wagging wildly. (OK, so the wagging tail has claimed a few glasses that it's knocked off the cocktail table. But it's not like he did it on purpose.)Pets as kids -- that's a major factor in the strength of the pet market. "The pet-parent sentiment has never been higher," says the editor of Packaged Facts. "The human/animal bond is an excellent insulator against recessionary cutbacks." So strong, in fact, that the publications expects sales of pet products and services to jump another 35 percent by 2014, hitting $72 billion.Many pet owners, says the report, are unlikely to cut back significantly on pet spending, and in many cases would only do so after cutting back on their own needs. It's equally true across the economic spectrum. Pet owners who have cut back in other areas continue to spend on small indulgences for their pets, like biscuits, treats and toys.Although "restraint" is the word that characterizes how many of us now shop, it doesn't always apply to the 61 million pet-owning households in terms of what they spend on their nearly 400 million pets. We hear talk about how the 20-somethings will lead us out of the recession with their spending, but pet owners will be right there with them.

As a long time cat lover and certified veterinary technician, I am very aware of the magic that exists between people and animals. My experience with therapy cats began many years ago when I was living and working in Pennsylvania. A beloved client suffered a stroke and was relocated to an assisted living home. With the few words he could speak, he asked that his Siamese cat be brought to see him. This wasn't possible for several reasons so I volunteered to bring my Siamese cat Violet instead. Violet was a lively, opinionated yet gentle cat, with a distinctive voice. We decided to try taking her for a visit. My hope that Violet might be good at this was based on her behavior in the car and visits to the veterinarian. Nothing seemed to ruffle this gal and she always sought out attention. On her first visit, Violet acted like she was born to serve. She would snuggle up in bed as a comfort or provide laughs as she cruised down the hall in Colin's wheelchair. If she could have done the parade wave she would have. Not only did Violet provide much needed snuggles and laughter, she was a help with Colin's physical therapy. Colin would dangle a piece of rope for Violet and she would chase after it. While physical therapy was tiring for Colin, he seemed to have boundless energy for playing with Violet. Violet and I eventually passed our Delta Society evaluation with flying colors to become a registered Pet Partners team.After we moved to the Pacific Northwest, Violet sadly passed away of age related causes. I felt a void in not having a cat partner for visits. Little did I know, it was just a matter of time until a new partner showed up in my life.
It was a few weeks before Christmas, and a kind lady had just rescued three young, sick kittens and brought them to our local clinic. One of the kittens needed immediate surgery to remove his infected and painful eyes so an email appeal went out for a foster home for the kitten after surgery. We named him Jimmy Jet and brought him home. I watched Jimmy for a long time that first night, listening to a little voice in my head that told me I had just met one of the most extraordinary animals I would ever be fortunate enough to know in my lifetime.
The weeks went by and Jimmy thrived in our care. We were so attached to him and him to us that we decided to adopt him. Two years later, he is now the class clown and love of our lives. Jimmy and I have just passed our evaluation and we are a registered Delta Society Pet Partners team. Jimmy Jet and I go to schools and talk to children about the fate of homeless animals and what life is like for a blind cat. The children are fascinated by him and always ask for him to come back. It is a joy for me to share the message of care and compassion for all creatures with Jimmy Jet by my side. And as we explain to people, Jimmy Jet is not disabled, just differently-abled!Randi Golub is a certified veterinary technician and owns her own business, CatNurse on Call in Eugene, OR. Randi provides a wide range of services and specializes in caring for elderly, diabetic and terminally ill cats and dogs.
Jimmy Jet and Randi are a perfect example of how pets and people have a unique and powerful connection. Together they are helping children learn how important and wonderful animals are in our lives. Thanks for sharing your story Randi!Lori

This past weekend I spent much of my time at the Delta Society information booth at the Seattle Kennel Club Show. With many Pet Partners teams coming and going, there were lots of dogs there to give me 'luvins' - and that always makes me happy. (Teams only worked 2 hour shifts to ensure the dogs didn't get too tired or stressed.)Tails were wagging constantly, and if the dogs weren't being patted, they carefully watched the aisle waiting to go up and greet the next passerby - after all these are therapy dogs. I was once again impressed by the human-end of the leashes. The people part of the teams were always 'in tune' with their dogs. They were shining examples of what being your dog's best advocate is all about. At times the area around our booth was packed with lots of people and noise, and other dogs walking past. Our Pet Partners always kept a watchful eye on their surroundings, helping to re-position their dogs so they were safe while they talked with people inquiring about Delta Society. I think they must have eyes in the back of their heads.When people in wheelchairs stopped to get their 'dog fix' - the Pet Partners got on their knees so they could talk to the person closer to eye level, and knew exactly how to guide their dog to make it easy for the person to pat the dog. It was nice to meet so many people who wanted to learn about Delta Society - and once again I was thrilled to see the interest from many wanting to explore how they too might become Pet Partners.As I walked in early Sunday morning, I was walking past the breed booths, each filled with several dogs and their handler. However, as I was approaching the West Highland Terrier booth, one dog caught my eye. She looked directly at me, started wagging her tail and began walking up to me. Of course I had to stop and say hi. As I was talking with her 'dad', low and behold I learned that his wife is registered to take the Pet Partners Team Training Workshop in April and I was patting a likely future Pet Partner. Thank you to all who came by our booth and to the many Pet Partners teams who dedicate so much of their time to helping others!
"What does Harli do when she's not at work as a Delta Society Pet Partner?" I get asked this a lot when we visit at the hospital. My answer is simple: "She's just a Regular Dog". She runs and poops (okay I don't tell them this part) in the yard, goes with us on our walks, sleeps in front of the fire, "talks" to the neighbors as they walk by, sheds all over the house, nudges me to take her potty just when I've settled in comfy & cozy on the couch, tracks in dirt & mud, ignores my commands when she's "not in the mood", drools puddles when there's a chance she's going to get a treat, and gets underfoot in the kitchen having to be told multiple times "out".
I think it makes people feel good to know that this "perfect, well-mannered" pup can also make a mess, misbehave & just do what dogs do. I think it makes them feel better about their own pets as well. But, is she just a "regular dog"? I don't know... What is a "regular dog"? When I'm sick, she hangs out with me. When I'm sad, she cuddles with me and licks my hand. When I come home, whether it's been 10 hours or 10 minutes, she greets me with her duck & satiates me with a waggling tail & wiggling butt; at that moment, I'm her most important person. When I'm crabby, she's not afraid to approach me & nudge me with her cold, wet nose, somehow sensing that as I pet her my mood will soften. We drove to California for Thanksgiving to be with family. Two days down, two days to visit, and two days back. Our "regular dog" made the drive with us. In the wee hours of the following Saturday, we got the news that my younger sister died. I flew to California while my "regular dog" stayed home. On Thursday she arrived, again via car, with my husband. It had been a hard week. When we checked into the motel late that night, my husband, who had just driven for 15 hours straight...alone... said, "Do you need to talk?" I was exhausted by that time. It had been my day to not be the rock my family thinks I am. All I could do was cry and no words would form. So we went to bed.My poor husband was asleep in a minute and a half. I lay there, thinking & crying, unable to put substance to all I was feeling; unsure if I could "be there" for my mom, nieces and nephews the next day; and unaware of what my "regular dog" was doing for me. Nothing... and everything. I didn't need to speak, I didn't need to give her anything or do anything for her. She just was. There. Snuggled into my side, allowing me to drape my arm across her, feel her heart beating and her chest rise & fall in a pattern. Normalcy in the midst of absolute abnormality. Allowing me to do whatever it was I needed to do, or not do, at that moment in time. Absorbing all my sorrow and weariness while my tears wet her fur. And the next day? She was just a "regular dog". Getting in the way as we readied the house for all the family that would be coming on Saturday. Tolerating a variety of emotions from countless people - noise, chaos, yelling, crying. Offering a nudge to go potty at inconvenient times. Shedding fur everywhere. Getting under foot as we prepared our meals, having to be told countless times "Out". Offering herself, unconditionally, as a calm within our storm. Like I said, she's just a "Regular Dog".Thank you Diana Doolittle for sharing your story with us. And, to Harli and you for bringing smiles and comfort to the folks you visit!Lori
At first glance, Oscar seems like a typical cat—a handsome but aloof black-and-white tabby with a penchant for naps in the sun. For almost five years he has lived among patients with advanced dementia at the Steere House Nursing & Rehabilitation Center in Providence, Rhode Island. But Oscar made international headlines when Dr. David Dosa published an article in the New England Journal of Medicine that revealed the cat's unusual talent: Oscar can predict when patients are going to die. In his book, "MAKING ROUNDS WITH OSCAR: The Extraordinary Gift of an Ordinary Cat, Dr. Dosa illuminates Oscar's amazing gift. A few hours before a resident passes away, Oscar climbs onto his or her bed. He purrs and refuses to leave until the patient dies. His predictions are always right—he never lingers unless the person is within a few hours of death. His unusual talent provides an early warning system, giving caregivers precious time to alert family members that their loved one is near the end of life. Steere House residents and their families are grateful to Oscar for the comfort and companionship he provides during this difficult time. When he first heard about Oscar's uncanny ability, Steere House doctor David Dosa, an assistant professor of medicine at Brown University and one of just 7,000 geriatricians in the country, was skeptical. After all, how can an animal accurately predict when a patient would die when trained doctors can't? But Oscar's perfect record of eleventh-hour bedside vigils, coupled with Dosa's conversations with staffers and families of patients, convinced the doctor that there is something very special about the third floor's smallest resident. Oscar has a calling as a caregiver. MAKING ROUNDS is the story not only of this mysterious cat, but also of Steere House itself, its staff, residents, and families. Dosa interviewed colleagues and family members whose loved ones passed away with Oscar by their side. Their stories all carry a common, uplifting element: Oscar. While Dr. Dosa portrays dementia and all of its difficulties, he provides hope and advice for caregivers who are coping with a loved one's decline. The book will inspire readers to discuss the critical but very difficult issue of end-of-life care. Some questions many people have regarding Oscar:Q: Is there a scientific explanation for Oscar's behavior? It's possible that Oscar perceives a pheromone or another smell emitted by a dying patient. Dying cells release sweet-smelling ketones and other cellular by-products that may be appreciated by an animal with a keen sense of smell. Additionally, animal behavior experts have speculated that Oscar's talent is behavioral—that he's imitating the nurses and staff at Steere House. Perhaps Oscar understands when he is needed and simply wishes to be part of the team that delivers compassionate end-of-life care to the dying. Q: How do animals affect patients in late stages of dementia? In late stages of dementia, patients are unable to care for themselves. Often, they have lost the ability to walk and to communicate verbally. For close family members, the biggest tragedy is often when the patient is unable to recognize them. Nevertheless, though an advanced dementia patient might lose the ability to verbally communicate, there are certain innate stimuli such as music, babies, and animals like Oscar that still seem to reverberate. Even for those with the severest forms of dementia, the presence of animals reduces agitation and symptoms of depression. Q: Have you learned about other pets or animals that seem to have a sixth sense about comforting the dying? Although Oscar is unique, he is certainly not alone in what he does. Since Oscar's story made international news I've heard from hundreds of pet owners about their special animals, including other health care facilities that have their own "Oscar." These emails and letters have made me appreciate just how important animals are to people as companions. They truly do seem to have a sixth sense about knowing when we need them the most.Today, Oscar remains un-phased by all the interest in his book. He continues his "work" at Steere House comforting patients and their families.Sincere thanks to David for sharing Oscar's story with us ~ David and I both attended McLean High School (in McLean, VA – Go Highlanders) and he attended George Washington University where my father received a graduate degree as did one of my sons. It's been a pleasure getting to know David and learn more about his impressive, compassionate work with patients suffering from dementia (as my mother did)….and, of course – to hear about Oscar. Oscar's story is heartfelt, inspiring and full of the humor and pathos of life in the balance.Lori

Tuesday 20 November 2012
Students from St Michael's RC School in Billingham can look forward to a memorable trip to London after being crowned 2012 Premier League Enterprise Challenge champions.
The entrepreneurial team of Olivia Shovlin, Amy Buck, Elish Chambers, Max Bover and Joe Buck, representing Middlesbrough Football Club, beat five other schools to come out on top in a highly competitive final at Westminster Conference Centre in London.
As well as impressing with their ideas and business plan, St Michael's wowed the 'Dragons' Den'-style judging panel with their eight-minute pitch which they delivered without notes.
"We have won the nationals so that will inspire the whole school"
Patricia Carroll
Their proposals, designed to improve the matchday experience for supporters, included setting up a smartphone app to offer ticketless sales, an interactive stadium map and an option for pre-ordering club merchandise; hawker-style food and drink sellers; colour-coded walkways, as well as the use of inspirational quotes from figures from the local area.
Their prize will be a trip to London, where they will conduct a Q&A session with Premier League Chief Executive Richard Scudamore at the Premier League's offices; visit Downing Street to meet Lord Young, who advises the Prime Minister on small business and enterprise; as well as having the special honour of opening the London Stock Exchange.
"It's absolutely amazing that a little school from Billingham has won the national award," St Michael's Raising Achievement Coordinator Patricia Carroll told premierleague.com. "It will make such a difference to our school because we are in a high unemployment area.
"I always try to get the students to aim high and now we have done it, we have won the nationals so that will inspire the whole school. It has shown them what they can achieve.
"We have always known what a great school we are but this is the icing on the cake. I am really proud of them. We have put a lot of work into it. They gel well as a team, their ideas were very creative. It's been such an amazing experience.
"It will definitely influence what they will pick in Year 10 and even if they don't do business studies, it's given them the taste of the world of work and what you have to do. This is amazing."
The award is a significant moment for Middlesbrough as it comes 10 years after their community department launched the first Enterprise Academy in 2002. The pioneering scheme was the basis and the inspiration for the initiative which, in partnership with the Department of Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS), was rolled out nationally in 2008.
"It's important that kids realise what they can achieve"
Ledley King
The six Enterprise Challenge finalists, consisting of Year 9-11 students, have been working for the last two months on a brief set by Scudamore, which this year focused on improving customer service.
They have conducted research, come up with ideas, met club officials and other businesses, produced a fully costed financial plan as well as perfecting their presentations.
After coming through two semi-finals, at Aston Villa and Newcastle United, the six teams then battled out the final at the home of BIS, which coincided with the launch of Global Entrepreneurship Week (12-18 November).
There were a host of distinguished guests in attendance, including former Tottenham Hotspur captain Ledley King, Scudamore and the Minister of State for Business and Enterprise the Rt Hon Michael Fallon MP, while the event was hosted by the Channel 4 News Washington correspondent Matt Frei.
"It's important that kids realise what they can achieve," King told premierleague.com. "I look back to when I was playing, I was from the East End of London and the mentality was that nothing good happens to people from this kind of area.
"So when I looked up to someone like Sol Campbell and saw that he was from the same area, it made me believe that it can be done.
"It's important to get that across to the kids, it doesn't matter where you are from, if you put the hard work in, and you have got the will and the dedication, you really can achieve.
"It's the Premier League hook that's helped them to acknowledge that they do have skills in areas that they probably never realised and hopefully a few of them will go on to do really great things in business."
"It is a real experience for the young people using the backdrop of Premier League clubs to widen their educational horizons"
Richard Scudamore
As well as the main prize, the judges also highly commended the work of the team from Alexandra College of Enterprise in Sandwell, who were representing West Bromwich Albion.
The other schools taking part were Aylsham High School ( Norwich City), Highlands School (Tottenham Hotspur), Archbishop Beck Catholic High School (Liverpool) and West Hill School (Manchester City).
Richard Scudamore, said: "The Premier League Enterprise Challenge is one of the highlights of the Premier League season. It is a real experience for the young people using the backdrop of Premier League clubs to widen their educational horizons. The Enterprise Challenge arms all those who participate with new skills like presentation, planning and negotiation.
"It is also great for the Premier League to be part of Global Entrepreneurship Week as there is much we can learn from Government departments like BIS.
"When you are operating in 212 territories, with only one office in London, having people around the world like British embassies, our ambassadors, UK Trade & Investment or the British Council, is very useful because they can facilitate whatever we are trying to do internationally."
The inaugural Enterprise Challenge was held in 2009 and was won by Everton, with Tottenham Hotspur taking the title in 2010 and Blackpool winning last year.
The Challenge aims to encourage and develop a variety of business skills including problem-solving, creativity, innovation, team-work and enterprise. Each of the 21 football clubs with a Premier League Enterprise Academy are invited to take part, with the clubs holding their own competition involving local schools.
If you are interested in taking part in the Premier League Enterprise Academy and the Enterprise Challenge, please contact Sophie Hukin via e-mail: email@example.com.

We published our draft Corporate Plan in October 2010 and embarked upon an extensive process of public consultation. Details of the process itself and the full feedback of the consulation can be found here.
Within that draft plan we acknowledged the state of flux and uncertainty we are
in and we set out the many challenges we face; with our proposals to address those challenges.
At the time, we were predicting a very significant financial challenge, and we also illustrated how the continuing risk of terrorism and how the growing implications of changes in climate could affect us. We explained how these global issues now not only touch all our lives as citizens, but have direct consequences on those with responsibility for delivering public services.

Why choose an orthodontist for Invisalign?
Orthodontics is a specialty in which doctors complete two years of advanced education in straightening teeth, and this is all they do.

The Itero IOC Scanner brings real-time 3-D technology to the Houston area. Invisalign and Cadent's Itero product is revolutionizing the way the doctors are creating their treatment plans for their patients. The intra-oral scan technology is replacing the archaic conventional way of taking impressions, so patients no longer need to have that messy material sit in their mouth for a long time. Another great feature of the IOC Scanner is that it is much more accurate and as a result has cut down the turn around time, so the patients at Bellaire Family Orthodontics can receive their aligners quicker. The best part of the IOC Scanner is the accuracy of the treatment plans allowing for amazing results in less time to create an extraordinary smile for our patients.

Ordered 2; 1 perfect, 1 not
By Mimi, The Bargain Shopper
from Washington, DC
About Me Midrange Shopper
Ordered 2 pillows for my lumbar and sciatiac nerve problems. One lost shape after 3 days and it was longer and heavier than the other and felt NO support or the gel. Removed it and used the 2nd one which was made perfect. Holds shape, firm, feel gel and it moves with me. One had right diminsions and other was not. I used both together for while, now I use the perfect one in bedroom chair and its great. The out of shape one I use in LV RM in recliner but not as supportive and other.Was going to send back imperfect one but decided too much hassle. You just don't know what you will get in pillows, one good or bad. It is a good pillow if you get the right one made perfect.

Just like it says: Super commfy cushion
By Merle
from Herlong, CA
I use the cushion all the time to sit on. I have an old recliner and the gel cushion helps me to sit straighter and longer in my chair. while the cushion is not to small, a larger size would be wonderful. maybe make it square to the longest side & just a bit thicker. (I have been taught to always give people a choice, size, color)
This helps a little but I would not buy
By Sandy
from Granbury,Texas
I don't know what I was expecting , but I do not think it heald it's shape.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

To amend section 5101.60 of the Revised Code to
provide that "exploitation" under the adult
protective services law includes action by any
person, rather than only by a caretaker.
Section 1. That section 5101.60 of the Revised Code be
amended to read as follows:
Sec. 5101.60. As used in sections 5101.60 to 5101.71 of the
Revised Code:

others of injury, unreasonable confinement, intimidation, or cruel
punishment with resulting physical harm, pain, or mental anguish.
(B) "Adult" means any person sixty years of age or older
within this state who is handicapped by the infirmities of aging
or who has a physical or mental impairment which prevents the
person from providing for the person's own care or protection, and
who resides in an independent living arrangement. An "independent
living arrangement" is a domicile of a person's own choosing,
including, but not limited to, a private home, apartment, trailer,
or rooming house. An "independent living arrangement" includes an
adult care facility licensed pursuant to Chapter 3722. of the
Revised Code, but does not include other institutions or
facilities licensed by the state or facilities in which a person
resides as a result of voluntary, civil, or criminal commitment.
(C) "Caretaker" means the person assuming the responsibility
for the care of an adult on a voluntary basis, by contract,
through receipt of payment for care, as a result of a family

any reason to the extent that the person lacks sufficient
understanding or capacity to make and carry out reasonable
decisions concerning the person's self or resources, with or
without the assistance of a caretaker. Refusal to consent to the

is hereby repealed.

Beyond The Sling Tour Day #2–The View
Day 2 of the Beyond the Sling book tour began by me basking in the glow of the Kveller love-fest we had the previous night at the JCC, at my talk which was moderated by Deborah Kolben and attended by three fellow Kveller contributing mamas Carla Naumburg (all the way from Boston!), Amy Deutsch (pregnant and adorable) and Cara Paiuk (all the way from Texas!).
Besides closing Day 2 as the #2 parenting book selling on Amazon and the #120 (or so, but who's counting) book selling overall on Amazon, and being a guest on the Leonard Lopate show right after the very intelligent and awesome Nathan Englander, I think we all can admit that the highlight of the day was me being on The View. If you were on the west coast (like my parents), my episode was preempted by President Obama's press conference, but you can see it online here.
Here are my Top 10 The View moments: Read the rest of this entry →
