Official Title: | Vestibular Rehabilitation and Balance Training for Patients With Dizziness and Balance Problems After Traumatic Brain Injury. |
- Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) [ Time Frame: Up to 12 months post injury ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
The Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) was developed to measure the self-perceived level of handicap associated with the symptom of dizziness (Jacobson, 1990). The DHI is a 25 item self-report questionnaire with 3 response levels: yes = 4, sometimes = 2, no = 0. The total score is obtained by summing the ordinal scale responses obtained from the 3 response levels (0-100, higher score indicates worse handicap) (Jacobson, 1990).
The DHI has been translated into Norwegian and has demonstrated satisfactory measurement properties (Tamber, 2009).
- High level mobility assessment tool for traumatic brain injury (HiMAT) [ Time Frame: Up to 12 months post injury ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The HiMAT is a uni-dimensional performance-based measure of balance and mobility. It consists of 13 walking, running, skipping, hopping and stair items that are measured either by a stopwatch or tape-measure. Raw scores measured in times and distances are noted and converted to a score on a 5-point scale from 0-4, except the two dependent stair items that are rated on a 6- point scale from 0-5. A 0 corresponds to inability to perform the item, and 1 -4/5 represents increasing levels of ability. The sum score range is 0-54 (worst-best). A user/instruction manual for the testers describing the test in detail is developed. (Williams, 2006;Williams, 2006).
- Balance Error Scoring System (BESS). [ Time Frame: Up to 12 months post injury ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The Bess is a standardized balance testing system. It consists of three 20 second, standardized stances on a firm surface and on a foam surface with eyes closed. The stances are: double leg stance, single-leg stance and tandem stance. Errors are counted during each 20-second trial(Bell, 2011;Finnoff, 2009). The Bess has variable but satisfactory measurement properties and norms are developed (Bell, 2011).

Detailed Description:
8 000 to 10 000 persons are admitted to hospitals in Norway with traumatic brain injury (TBI)annually. Dizziness and balance problems have an incidence of 30-80% in this population.
Studies show that dizziness and imbalance has the potential to restrict several aspects of personal and social life.
Vestibular rehabilitation (VR) is an accepted and effective treatment for dizziness and imbalance. However there is lack of evidence/knowledge about its effect on TBI patients.
The study is designed as a randomized controlled trial study (RCT). Patients aged 16-60 admitted to Oslo University Hospital with TBI and symptoms of dizziness and imbalance are included 8 weeks after the injury.
The intervention and control group will receive multidisciplinary assessment and evaluation. The intervention group will in addition receive group training and a home exercise program by physiotherapists. The intervention will consist of a individually adapted Vestibular Rehabilitation and balance program.
The main outcome measurement is the Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI). The study has several other self-report and performance based outcome measures. The outcome measures will be performed before and after the intervention and 6 months after the injury.
Ages Eligible for Study: | 16 Years to 60 Years |
Genders Eligible for Study: | Both |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- TBI patients enrolled at Oslo University Hospital.
- persistent dizziness and/or balance problems 2 months post-injury.
- functionally and cognitively able to attend a group training program with vestibular rehabilitation and balance training as the main focus.
Exclusion Criteria:
- severe psychiatric disorder,
- language problems,
- cognitive dysfunction that makes self-report difficult,
- extremity injuries,
- not being able to walk.

Question: car hesitates through acceleration, does lack power until i mat the gas. what could this be?

Car Brakes: How Do You Know When to Change Them?
By Zach Bowman For those who suffer a daily commute through heavy traffic, your vehicle's braking system can bring thousands of pounds of metal, plastic and empty Starbucks cups to a stop hundreds of times before you get to work.

About this item
Waffle Door Mat features a raised waffle pattern made with 100% recycled PET carpet fiber that facilitates the scraping and drying process while a channel design traps moisture and debris. In addition, a raised rubber border on all four sides of the mat acts as a containment barrier ensuring that moisture and dirt is not carried further into the home. Molded rubber cleats on the underside of the mat grip underlying surfaces and minimize mat movement. The low profile also works well with narrow clearance doorways. Crisp patterns, contemporary designs, and aesthetically pleasing color choices complement any decor or setting making it the perfect entrance mat for any doorway.

I'm looking forward to this series greatly. The tone is more adult than 'Teen Titans', there were no silly anime moments. The art is on par with late Justice League episodes and some of the Batman / Superman animated movies. Characters are a little immature (except for Aqualad) but still very capable superheroes. The adult heroes are sadly cast as the "we know better than you" antagonists but manage to calm down at the end of the intro 2-parter.

EDITOR'S CHOICE -- SCOTT SUTTELL The end of daily newspapers in print draws a little closerBy SCOTT SUTTELL 11:07 am, May 25, 2012
It's the Friday before a holiday weekend, so let's make this snappy: "Newspaper analyst Ken Doctor, who writes the Newsonomics blog, said the company is trying to hold on to declining print ad revenue for a few more years, and expects Advance to eventually cut print runs at its other newspapers in New Jersey, Oregon, Ohio and elsewhere," the Associated Press reports. The company owns The Oregonian in Portland, Ore., The Plain Dealer in Cleveland and The Star-Ledger in Newark, N.J. "It's a big bet to retain profitability and hope that in the shock therapy, there are profits on the other end," Mr. Doctor says. In a Wall Street Journal story Steven Newhouse, chairman of Advance.net, the corporate digital arm of Advance, is quoted as saying, "We are looking, as everyone is looking, at what is the best solution for each market, and the markets are different." The Wall Street Journal reports Forest City Ratner has leased about 33,000 square feet in the Ridge Hill open-air shopping center in Yonkers, N.Y., to Merlin Entertainments of the U.K., which operates half a dozen other Legoland parks in the United States. The company has paid billions of dollars over the last two years for drilling rights to 1.3 million acres of it, or about 5% of Ohio's land area, The Wall Street Journal reports. "Now, Chesapeake is raising its bet—ramping up drilling on a promising but unproven oil field, at a time when the embattled natural-gas giant is under financial stress and facing heightened scrutiny from investors," The Journal says. It's a risky move. "Battered by the lowest natural-gas prices in a decade, Chesapeake is selling off some of its most lucrative assets and taking out increasingly expensive loans in a bid to transform itself into an oil power," according to the newspaper. "The cash-strapped company, whose stock market valuation is under $10 billion, has more than $13 billion in debt on its balance sheet and total obligations of close to $24 billion, ratings agencies say." Tucked deep into northern Ontario, the so-called "Ring of Fire" contains rich mineral deposits "that could transform the region much as the oil sands have transformed Alberta," Reuters says. The region contains North America's only known large-scale chromite deposit. If Cliffs develops the "Black Thor" project (love these names), it "will likely revolutionize the stainless steel industry on the continent, which now relies on imports from South Africa and Kazakhstan," according to the news service. "With its strong formal moves, the museum intends to aid the city's urban-revitalization efforts by shaping an iconic cultural destination alongside its neighboring concentration of museums, such as the Cleveland Museum of Art and the Cleveland Museum of Natural History," Arch Daily says. The accompanying photos are fantastic. This is going to be a major addition to Cleveland's cultural offerings. "Fitch noted low power prices are a result of a surfeit of natural gas supply, strong reserve margins and a tepid economic recovery," according to MarketWatch.com. "These lower prices also adversely affect power supply margin. Compliance with the Environmental Protection Agency's rules will also lead to significant additional capital investment and operating costs for the company this year and beyond, which will further pressure margins and cash flows."

Kawaii Skeleton Over The Knee
Leg bones in white, red, purple, hot pink, or orange! The woven-in bone design sits nicely along your legs, from your toes to just over your knees. They stay up very well and are frightfully comfy.
Tube style, so both small & large feet will fit; tops easily stretch to 18 inches around. 29" inches from toe to top of cuff, unstretched.
Because the woven bones run up a relatively small strip of the front, distortion and lack of stretch did not appear to be a problem with these.
Though our photos show that both socks are left feet, the latest batches we've received are left and right feet paired together, just like real legs!
Additional Info: Made in Japan.
Fiber Content: 100% nylon, thicker like a sock, not easily snagged, but beware of contact with rough bits. Machine wash warm, tumble dry low.
Label: Tabbisocks
Is there skeleton detailing on the backs of these socks too?
Could you email me when these Bones knee socks are back in stock?
right above my knee is about 20 inches, would this distort the picture, or a better question, would it even fit??
How long does it take to ship??
how tall are these socks unstretched?
Money can't buy happiness, but it CAN buy Sock Dreams socks, which are pretty much the same thing. <3

text: I get confused by articles like this. It seems to imply that the "war on drugs" should be stopped instead of talking about how the war can be stepped up so that it is a war against (the violence caused by) the drug cartels and their friends in the government and local supporters. The fact that many government offices are either on their side or afraid of them should not mean that the war is dropped and they are allowed to do their business as they want does it? The fact that many government officials and police are accomplices is terrifying, how do we fight it? Surely it is not best to turn all of Mexico over to them? Even writing this silly comment is scary here.

Where the back and butt of a person seem to intersect at a 90 degree angle forming a shelf. For which one can rest an arm, cup, or book, like a bookshelf.

Welp, Link didn't get the Triforce of Math. This shirt needs Navi saying "Hey Listen" with the correct equation.
It could have just said 3(F)
When reading the shirt I think: "Force cube(d) equals Triforce."
Put me in the camp of this being the cubed force and not the tri force. Guess I shouldn't be surprised that several nerds* comments on this before me. *not intended as an insult

multiplicative is not exponential x^n is not equal to n^x just spreading the math love
Nerds are so amusing,
As a math and science teacher, who also grew up on Zelda, my extreme excitement was also shattered as I noticed it was exponential and not multiplication. I know it's nitpicky, but I would totally have purchased if it was 3(ma). Still a cool looking shirt though. If only...

Agreed. The (Ma)^3 makes me want to Hyurle.
The shirt can be fixed by drawing in a multiplier and cube-root. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Degree in physics? Check Played Zelda? No Turns out I'm only half geeky enough for this t-shirt. (leaving aside the whole argument for 3ma vs (ma)^3)
I'm sure I'm not the first to point out the fact that Link is apparently questing after the Cubeforce now.
To address the math problem, I had it written out 3(ma) at first, but everyone I showed it to didn't get the joke until I changed the format of the problem, hence the title of this design, "Forced Math." It's kind of the joke and makes it extra special. A little artistic liberties are needed now and then. ;) Thanks to everyone who's buying one! You guys rock!
I bought the Darth Vader version of this style shirt (Force Equation) last year and was getting rather annoyed at the # of people who kept asking me what it meant, so I don't wear it much except around the house or underneath another shirt. I understood the meaning immediately (and I'm not much into equations) but the people that asked me about it should have known it's meaning. I was at a Comic-con and people didn't get it. I'm seeing this shirt and I get the feeling the same thing will happen to others who pick it up.
I think we're all missing the point. This shirt provides a new universal algorithm: (ma)^3 = (F^F)F Using our already known algorithm of F=ma, we can substitute: (F)^3 = F(F^F) Now cancel out an F on each side: F^2 = F^F Now, we can use the magic of natural log to get: ln(F^2) = ln(F^F) 2*ln(F) = F*ln(F) Finally, cancel out the ln(F) on each side, and we get the universal truth the Zelda franchise has been attempting to tell us this whole time: F = 2 Everything you know about everything has just been broken. F equals 2... period.
enigmastrat wrote:stuff
you should design shirts
enigmastrat wrote: (ma)^3 = (F^F)F
F to the F power? You blew it right there ... that's what makes F=2 the only solution.
Change the design to 3 triangles labelled: Fx, Fy, Fz, as tips on perpendicular vectors. Tri-force by decomposition Boom.
Ha, looks like everyone else already noticed the problem I had with this. The other engineers at work would constantly be correcting my shirtquation.
Ok, I would like to see the next Zelda shirt to be with Link with chalk in his hands, attempting to figure out the equation of the tri-force. There would be many crossed out equations, for the struggling Link. Then, another shirt for Gannondwarf, and the product being world dominance. Then one for Zelda, the product being a lazy princess. But on a completly different idea, have Link speechless, as Zelda is holding what he thought was his baby, turning out to be Gannondwarfs child. Yes, more Hyurle shirts, we must have.
Even fewer people overall know that Ma is also the chinese term for cannabis XD

And horse. And mom (or "ma'"). And something else that I can't remember. Point is there's no wiggly line saying which. It could mean cube horse! Hey, we're even more special! Speaking of, I'd put good money on the ratio of physicists who know Zelda is higher than in the general population.
Learn2Triforce, fellow Wooters! ▲ ▲ ▲
Shouldn't that be 3(MA)? And I mean that purely mathematically. The shirt says (MA)cubed - that's not even close to 3 of something.

So you're saying these people understood that ma = force, but didn't get it when it was written 3(ma)? Slow bunch. You could have written it (ma) x 3 at the very least. As for the title being "forced math" because the math is faulty, I'm calling ret-con on that one. I'm just bustin' your chops. It's the internet. I'm convinced that's what the internet was designed to do. And if "Fishbiscuit" is a Lost reference, you've earned my respect despite your mathematical fudgery.

Radical Islam is not only Israel's problem
Look what happens in Europe (France, Germany, England, etc. ..)
While the last decade, all of Europe will be Muslim
You look like Breivik. Inspired always by Israeli instinct to do GENOCIDE. Jews now unite with Chistians and Moslems to go against human rights breach in Gaza which committed by Israel. They know Israel is not Jews. Jews is not Israel. Israel now be disturbed by international demand for human rights accountability. See William Hague concern. It is not Moslems vs Israel. But Israel vs Palestine. See Mr WILLIAM Hague' s decision to warn IDF blatantly.
Gaza recent war in every Israeli side is fragile reason.
The Germans used to similarly worry about the sexual proclivity of Jews. Seemed then that Jews copulated all the time, to produce an endless stream of kids. Rabbi's orders. This is all nonsense and propaganda.

A comment on another question made me wonder about something:
Assume you're on a rather constrained platform — say, a low-end embedded device — with no built-in crypto capabilities, but you do have access to a simple stream cipher; say, RC4 or one of the eSTREAM ciphers. What other crypto primitives can you build out of that stream cipher? In particular, are there any practical ways to build a cryptographic hash function and/or a MAC out of just a stream cipher?
We already have questions about turning a hash into a stream cipher and about turning a stream cipher into a block cipher, but this particular transformation doesn't seem to have been covered yet.
Obviously, if the platform constraints permit it, one could ignore the stream cipher and just implement a standard hash function from the ground up. What I'm wondering is whether having the stream cipher available might let one do better than that in terms of code size, memory usage and/or speed.
While a construction that treats the stream cipher as a black box would be nice, schemes that only use parts of the stream cipher (like RC4-Hash, which, alas, has practical collision attacks) would be interesting too, at least if they're simple enough.
Edit: What about Carter–Wegman MACs? I'm not too familiar with those, but it seems like it should be possible to instantiate them with a stream cipher. Of course, implementing the universal hash family will require some non-trivial amount of code, but it might still be less than implementing a conventional MAC from scratch.

OCF Honorary Dinner for His Grace, Bishop DimitriosJACKSONVILLE, FL [OCF/OCA] -- Orthodox Christian Fellowship honored its founder, His Grace, Bishop Dimitrios of Xanthos, at a tribute dinner at the San Jose Country Club here on Friday, September 17, 2010.
As a recent seminary graduate in the 1960s, Bishop Dimitrios (James Couchell) was the driving force in establishing what has become the joint campus ministry arm of all canonical Orthodox jurisdictions in North America.
The dinner gathered clergy and laity from throughout North America to honor Bishop Dimitrios' dedication and devotion to college students and to celebrate the ever-growing network that OCF has been able to build upon the foundation he laid years ago.
At the dinner, the OCF Board of Directors announced the establishment of the Bishop Dimitrios of Xanthos Orthodox Christian Fellowship Ministry Endowment, which has been created to sustain and further the ministries of OCF. The fund was initiated with a $100,000.00 anonymous donation.
"Bishop Dimitrios has offered so much to Orthodox Christianity in North America and throughout the world in various capacities," said OCF Board of Directors Chairman and Interim Executive Director, Rev. Mark Leondis. Specifically, his efforts on behalf of college students are significant and this recognition of his work is long overdue."
In conjunction with the dinner, members of the OCF Board of Directors, the Regional Chaplains Network, and the Student Advisory Board met.
Those who are interested in participating in the Bishop Dimitrios Ministry Endowment are encouraged to contact OCF Development Director Presvytera Shyla Hadzellis at 800-919-1623.
On Saturday, October 30, 2010, Very Rev. Alexander Atty will be installed as the Seventh Dean of Saint Tikhon's Orthodox Theological Seminary, South Canaan, PA.

IOCC Aid Reaches Pakistan: IOCC is providing medicines to treat people in Pakistan who have been affected by the massive flooding that has contaminated water supplies, displaced people from their homes and destroyed vast areas of the country. (photo: Abdul Majeed Goraya/IRIN)September 16, 2010
Baltimore, MD (IOCC) — International Orthodox Christian Charities (IOCC) has expanded its distribution of emergency supplies to flood-ravaged areas of Pakistan. While water is receding in many areas of the country, the devastation caused to homes, infrastructure and farm land has left many people without adequate access to clean water, food and medical assistance. Aid provided by IOCC has focused on the medical needs, especially the threat of water-borne diseases, and immediate provision of food supplies through the Orthodox Mission in Pakistan.
In partnership with Medical Teams International, IOCC is providing two cholera kits to areas in the north of Pakistan. The kits will provide medical camps established in four of the hardest hit regions of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa region. Each cholera kit contains basic pharmaceuticals and supplies to treat up to 700 severe and moderate cases of cholera, including those affected by dysentery. The shipment, valued at $265,000, has been made possible through support from the Greek Orthodox Ladies Philoptochos Society.
"It was with great sadness that we learned of the loss of life and devastating destruction in Pakistan," remarked National Philoptochos President Aphrodite Skeadas, "and this contribution, through IOCC, demonstrates the generosity and will of our chapters throughout the country to assist the flood victims there."
With the blessing of His Grace Bishop George, Vicar of the Eastern American Diocese of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia, the Damascene Gallery, a supplier of fine antique icons, newly painted icons, and high quality mounted icons, opened on August 29 (the feast of the Translation of the Icon of the Savior "Not Made by Hands" from Edessa to Constantinople, Old Calendar). The web store features a wide selection of antique and new hand-painted icons, as well as a unique type of mounted icons consisting of high-quality canvas prints mounted to traditional solid-wood panels with support slats commonly found on antique icons. Concerning the rationale of such a design, the founders of Damascene Gallery explained that such panels combined with the canvas prints result in a mounted icon that looks and feels much like the antique icons also being offered in the store.
Currently, the web store features around 30 antique icons, ranging from the early 18th century to the beginning of the 20th century. Additionally, there are some 20 new painted icons in inventory, as well as numerous antique brass icons and crosses. Around 230 images, including many from the Holy Trinity Monastery collection, are available for ordering as mounted icons. The inventory of icons is expected to significantly increase within the next several weeks, and the selection of mounted icons is being continuously updated.
OCF has announced their annual event, College Student Sunday, which will take place Sunday Sept. 19, 2010.
Writes the OCF, "Over the past 50 years, campus ministry has made a presence in the Orthodox Church. We would like to ask all of you to make a presence this year for Orthodox college students at your parish. Now more than ever is the time to raise awareness.
Over the past few years the national average of young adults leaving the Church has been 6 out of 10. Recently the Pew Research Institute declared the average is quickly growing to 7 out of 10. We would like to encourage each of you to visit our website to find the resources you will need to conduct a presentation. If you are unable to make the presentation, please ask some to fill in for you. Thank you for your support of campus ministry!!!"
Endorsed by the Episcopal Assembly of Orthodox Bishops in North America, this observance is designed to draw attention to the importance of ministering to our college age Orthodox Christian Students. Parishes are reminded that young Orthodox Christians are attending college in their cities and towns, and the faithful are encouraged to connect with these college students in order to provide a parish home away from home. For more information, contact the Orthodox Christian Fellowship.

This Saturday, September 11, is the ninth anniversary of the terrorist attacks on our nation which claimed the lives of over 3,000 innocent men, women and children. A prayer appropriate to the occasion (which is blessed for our DOWAMA clergy to say before the dismissal of all divine services this coming Saturday) is printed below.
A Prayer for September 11th
O Lord our God, Who art Thyself, the Hope of the hopeless, the Help of the helpless, the Savior of the storm-tossed, the Haven of the voyager, the Physician of the sick; be all things to our land which nine years ago on this date was devastated by the cowardly and hateful acts of false martyrs; who imitated wicked Herod in his slaughter of 14,000 innocents, whose only crime was to be born at the time of Thine incarnation. For those who lost loved ones, grant the comfort you imparted to the Mary and Martha before you raised Lazarus and care for them as Thou didst care for Thy Mother from the Cross, putting her in the care of the Apostle John.
"Icons: Windows to Heaven"
Getting To Know the Iconographers
Cheryl Ann Pituch and Niko Chocheli will be presenting workshops at Antiochian Village for the event, "Icons: Windows to Heaven," November 4–7, 2010. Vasiliki Oldziey, Christian Education Coordinator for the Diocese of Wichita and the Midwest, interviewed them this summer. The Department of Christian Education sponsors the annual Orthodox Institute, and the theme of this year's event is iconography. The Institute will include several courses on iconography and provide participants an opportunity to learn how to write icons ("Utilizing Crafts"). Teacher-training courses and the Church School Director Seminar are also scheduled for the Institute. Amateur or professional iconographers are encouraged to bring an icon for our "Festival of Orthodoxy" display. If you love icons, don't miss this opportunity! For more information or a brochure, please e-mail the department at email@example.com, or visit our website.
Cheryl Ann Pituch
Cheryl Ann has been married for thirty-eight years to Eugene Pituch and is the mother of four children and the grandmother of two. She currently resides in Davidsville, Pennsylvania, a small town in the Laurel Mountains, 92 miles southeast of Pittsburgh. Her icons are featured in the current Icon Calendar from Conciliar Press.Icon Calendar, 2010
1. Icons were not part of your early life. Tell us how icons have changed your life.
I grew up in the Presbyterian Church and was taught that any statues or "pictures" were never to be kissed or prayed before in any way. I struggled to understand icons, in order to embrace the faith. I have been an Orthodox Christian for 32 years and have been painting for about 26 years. Now, I can't imagine life without icons. The most dramatic change in my life with icons is prayer. Icons open constant opportunities to pray. They have changed my life just by being visible and witnessing (in their silence) their love for God, and stirring my heart to do more.
The Antiochian Women Membership Handbook is now available online!
NAB President Cindy Nimey writes:
"This publication, produced by Khourieh Suzanne Murphy and her husband, Fr. Gregory Murphy, is a wonderful booklet that consists of many works from past membership coordinators, with some new additions that they felt would be helpful to our Antiochian Women groups. It is attractive, easy to read, and has valuable information that will surely aid our chapters in the growth of their ministry as Antiochian Women. Our hope is that you will use it and pass it along to your successors over the next years, remembering that we are always here for one another."
NAB Membership Coordinator Kh. Suzanne Murphy writes:
"My goal in undertaking this project was to make the information contained in the Handbook available to every woman in our Archdiocese. Some of the information may seem quite basic, but part of the purpose of this Handbook is to help those women who may be new to our Archdiocese -- and to our Antiochian Women organization -- to gain a basic understanding of who we are and what we do. This basic introduction is a way of assisting them to build a level of familiarity and comfort with us. There are also some sections like the Constitution, By-laws, and reimbursement policy that are more technical and intended for use by our chapter officers. In short, we want this Handbook to have a little something for everyone, to be interesting and appealing, and to help us in our goal of building a faithful, active, and caring sisterhood-in-Christ."

Charlie was a long time member of The Order of St. Ignatius and served many years on the parish council as a member and chair. He initiated an Endowment Fund and worked tirelessly for the good of the parish. In 2005 he was awarded the Antonian Silver Medal by Metropolitan Philip. He was for most of his life in the parish, "always there." He will be greatly missed. His leadership in the parish, in Altoona and in Pennsylvania is established by the list of organizations and accomplishments of his life as well as his three children, three grand-children and six great grandchildren.
He was born in Albany, N.Y., son of George and Emily (Ofiesh) Ofiesh. He married Helen V. Ajay on Sept. 4, 1949, and she preceded him in death on May 14, 2009.
Charles was a 1942 graduate of Altoona High School. He was a U.S. Army veteran of WWII, serving in the Pacific theater, and the Korean conflict. He retired as a Command Sergeant Major after serving 41 years in the Pennsylvania Army Reserve. He received 26 awards and decorations, including the Legion of Merit and the Meritorious Service medals.
He retired as a general contractor and owner of Ofiesh Construction.
Charles was a member of the Altoona Zoning Board for more than 45 years, past president and life director of the Pennsylvania Builders Association, past commander of the local and Pennsylvania Disabled American Veterans, past commander of the American Legion, life member of the VFW, life member of Cooties and parade marshal in Altoona for more than 30 years.
Notice has been received this morning from the Patriarchal Office in Damascus of the falling asleep in Christ of His Grace Bishop Dimitri Ilyan Al-Hosni following a long illness. As a priest His Grace had served at the Patriarchate in Damascus and as a bishop in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
May his memory be eternal!

Come join us for a Retreat with Fr. Meletios Webber on the themes of Orthodox Spirituality and Prayer
"Stop listening to your thoughts – not the thoughts you have, but the thoughts that have you. They have nothing beneficial to offer you, and besides you have heard them all before. Brush them aside, and gently continue to brush them aside. Beyond their clamor and din there is available to you a level of greater awareness – a place of love, joy, peace and compassion. At first, it is difficult to "hear" it (since it is expressed in silence) but with practice you will start to recognize its voice, and a deeper state of presence will be yours." ‐ Fr. Meletios
"The Syrian Colony, Washington Street " by W. BengoughMatthew Namee, at OrthodoxHistory.org, has posted an alert to a recent New York Times article about an early Syrian American presence in Manhattan, not far from what became the site for the World Trade Center. While it was eventually displaced by the construction of entrance ramps to the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel, the once thriving community called little Syria, hosted three churches. Notes Namee, "...while the article doesn't directly discuss Orthodoxy, it talks about the very same community into which St. Raphael came in 1895, and which included the first Antiochian parish on the continent."

August 25, 2010
Baltimore, MD (IOCC) — International Orthodox Christian Charities (IOCC) began providing emergency supplies this week to people affected by fires in the Ryazan region of Central Russia. The response was made possible through a $5,000 gift from the Orthodox Church in America (OCA) and a $25,000 matching grant from the John G. Rangos Sr. Family Charitable Foundation.
Aid to the region southeast of Moscow will reach 640 people and includes personal hygiene kits, blankets, towels and bed linens. The relief is being provided in cooperation with the Russian Orthodox Church and the Russian Round Table, an ecumenical forum for social service in Russia.
The grant from the John G. Rangos Sr. Family Charitable Foundation will support IOCC's aid projects in Russia by creating a matching gift program. The Foundation will match every dollar contributed to IOCC for relief projects in Russia up to $25,000. Rangos, a founder of IOCC, was instrumental in one of IOCC's first humanitarian missions – an airlift of relief supplies and medicines to Russia in 1992.
In addition to the gift from the Orthodox Church in America, His Beatitude, Metropolitan Jonah called upon parishes to provide support for the relief efforts. "I am also asking that members of the Orthodox Church in America offer financial assistance through IOCC, which will convey our donations to the appropriate Church partners and Church programs in Russia."
"We are grateful for the generous response of the Orthodox Church in America and John Rangos in response to the current urgent needs in Russia," said Constantine M. Triantafilou, IOCC Executive Director. "Their steadfast support for our work with the Russian Orthodox Church since the earliest days of IOCC continues to make a difference for those who are suffering."
His Grace Bishop DemetriosFISHERS, IN. - August 18, 2010
The OCF Board of Directors will be honoring His Grace Bishop Dimitrios of Xanthos for his tremendous contributions in establishing Orthodox Christian Fellowship with a celebratory dinner in Jacksonville, Florida, on September 17, 2010.
Beginning in 1960 as a recent seminary graduate, Bishop Dimitrios (James Couchell) was the driving force in establishing what has become the all-important campus ministry arm of the Orthodox Church. Inspired by his dedication and devotion to college students, OCF has been able to build upon the foundation he laid 50 years ago.
In the year 2000, OCF experienced a renewal, which included the strong and continuing support of the various Orthodox jurisdictions in North America. Recognizing these two milestones, this fall marks the 50th anniversary of OCF's creation and the 10th anniversary of its current efforts.
In addition to the dinner, OCF will be holding its annual Board of Directors, Chaplain's Network and Student Advisory Board meetings throughout the weekend. These planning meetings will lead into OCF's annual College Student Sunday on September 19.

He didn't deserve probowl imo. It's not even snub. Turnovers turnovers turnovers. How many times have you heard coaches and players point at it as the most important stat. Drew Brees did not protect the ball well this year. He threw alot of picks, some tipped yes, but also alot of bad interceptions on his part. The 49ers one before half sticks out in my mind. Was he in an impossible situation? Perhaps. I don't think they award things based on coulda shoulda woulda though unfortunately. Did he throw for a whole lotta yards and td's? yea, but as I said in another thread, If you take the ten nearest players in yards and td's, drew brees blows all of them away in the int category. The only person that made close to as many mistakes with the ball was the rookie andrew luck. Plus our team has a losing record. If you get all the glory when your team is doing well, you have to equally eat it when the team performs lackluster. It comes with the position. I'm suprised you all are suprised This post was edited on 12/27 at 11:46 am Reply Back to Top |

Posted by Reuben32 on 12/27 at 9:01 pm to cssamerican He had a 5 interceptions in one game. All 3 have better passer ratings and better team records. The bias on this board is incredible. I'm a saints die hard and I can see through my black and gold glasses that, even though Brees is the greatest thing to EVER happen to this franchise, he cost games this year by turning the ball over, especially in a HUGE game against Atlanta. Ryan, Rodgers, and RG3 all have better numbers than Brees. 5k and 40+ is all he has working for him, and there is a lot more that goes into it than that. How about passer rating, interceptions, Completion Pct, anything of that sort. This post was edited on 12/27 at 9:02 pm Reply Back to Top |

Posted by Bayou on 12/28 at 7:13 am to Slapouttiger To his benefit quite a few of his int's were tips and deflections. He also had more dropped balls than any other QB. It all adds up...just sayin'Reply Back to Top |
quote: I agree but the same is true for most qb's. (the tipped balls to int part) The thing is, I definitely noticed a difference this year when watching the games as a saints fan. In years past; if drew loaded up and threw the ball off-screen (if im watching on tv), I would be cheering before I even saw the completion. This year; I was always nervous he was gonna throw a int. I truly think he lost some of his arm this year. I feel like he threw behind guys on crossing route more than not, and he almost never fully led guys on deep passes. On the flip side, I still think he is the commander and heart of this team, and is not replaceable yet. He probably still has 2 more seasons at a elite level. Even then, I see him playing here for 5 more seasons. I think he'll bounce back hard next year with CSP back. I feel like Pete is good at calling plays but CSP was a master at calling plays that are in line with our strengths on a particular day. ok I'm ranting now, I'll stop This post was edited on 12/28 at 8:55 am Reply Back to Top |
quote: Some people are a little ridiculous on here with putting down Brees. Yes he had an off year but most of his years in New Orleans has been MVP material. Let's look at some stats: Brees 2nd in Attempts 4th in Completions 12th in % completions 9th in passer rating @ 94.9 1st in yards 1st in TD's 1st-tied in int Team Scoring- 3rd @ 28.2pts a game His rating is actually pretty descent/good and the only thing that is bad is obviously the interceptions in which 26% of them came in one game. Ok let's look at the defense: 32nd in total yards allowed 31st against the pass 29th against the rush 28th in scoring @ 27.3pts a game I think just looking at these stats will tell you why we are 7-8 this year. It's pretty obvious. Reply Back to Top |
those are not the same stats that the probowl was voted upon. He got a nice cushion from the last couple of weeks that he didnt have at the time of voting quote: Is this supposed to make his int stat better or worse? The fact that he threw 5 in a game is worse than throwing 2 in 3 games for 6 total imo. ETA: I think it's pretty clear why he didn't make probowl. I think you guys don't realize that it is possible to have a decent season and not make it. Drew didn't deserve it this year and you don't and shouldn't get brownie points from past years so whether or not he's had other great seasons is irrelevant. I don't think anyone seriously is arguing that drew is trash or putting hi down big time, just pointing out why he didn't make probowl This post was edited on 12/28 at 12:44 pm Reply Back to Top |
Posted by dcrews on 12/28 at 1:13 pm to Mikes My Tiger RGIII over Brees is a joke. Next year, RGIII won't be able to run a college offense all year long and will get exposed just as Cam Newton did this year. So tired of ESPN salivating over Griffin. Absolute joke. Reply Back to Top |
