Article: Preliminary Results of Auditory Brainstem Implantation in Prelingually Deaf Children With Inner Ear Malformations Including Severe Stenosis of the Cochlear Aperture and Aplasia of the Cochlear Nerve[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The aim of our study is to present the results of 11 children where auditory brainstem implantation (ABI) was successfully performed to restore hearing. Case presentation. This study was conducted at the departments of Otolaryngology and Neurosurgery at Hacettepe University Ankara, Turkey. Between July 2006 and April 2008, 11 prelingual (30-56 mo) deaf children with several cochlear malformations had ABI. All patients were programmed and were enrolled in auditory verbal therapy sessions and family counseling programs at Hacettepe Auditory Verbal Center. The evaluation was performed at preimplant and again 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months post-switch on. The main test components composing this test battery were Ling 6 Sound Detection-Identification Test, Word Identification Test in Turkish, Meaningful Auditory Integration Scale, and Meaningful Use of Speech Scale. Successful brainstem implantations were performed in all patients with retrosigmoid approach. Six children gained basic audiologic functions and were able to recognize and discriminate sounds, and many could identify environmental sounds such as a doorbell and telephone ring by the third month of ABI. Improvement in mean performance on Meaningful Auditory Integration Scale is apparent for all ABI children. Improvement in Meaningful Use of Speech Scale scores in 2 patients, demonstrating that the child using its own voice for speech performance, was observed between the baseline and 12th month. First, 5 children were able to identify Ling's 6 sound by the end of 2 to 6 months, and 2 of them also started to identify words due to their pattern differences and multisyllabic word identification by 6 to 9 months. Two children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder have made slower progress than the other children with ABIs. Our preliminary results show that there is adequate contribution of brainstem implants in the development of auditory-verbal skills. Additional handicaps slow the progress of the prelingually deaf children.Otology & neurotology: official publication of the American Otological Society, American Neurotology Society [and] European Academy of Otology and Neurotology 10/2009; 30(6):708-15.

Article: Systemic administration of interleukin-10 attenuates early ischemic response following spinal cord ischemia reperfusion injury in rats.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The aim of this experimental study was to investigate the early effects of interleukin-10 (IL-10) and interleukin-1beta antagonist (anti-IL-1beta) against cellular damage, inflammatory reactivity, lipid peroxidation (LPO), and myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity induced by spinal cord ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI). Thirty-two single strain female Albino rats were divided into four groups: control (sham-operated), IRI-alone, IL-10-treated (100 mug/kg), and anti-IL-1beta-treated (1 mg/kg) groups after IRI. IRI was induced by balloon occlusion of the aorta and simultaneous hypovolemia during occlusion. The animals were sacrificed at 24 h. Histopathological and ultrastructural analyses, biochemical studies for determination of LPO and MPO activity and Comet assays (single cell electrophoresis for detecting DNA single strand breaks) were performed in all study groups. Compared with the levels of control (sham-operated) animals, IRI produced a significant increase in the levels of LPO and MPO activity, and prominent tissue damage characterized by leukocyte infiltration, edema and neuronal and glial damage in the affected spinal cord in 24 h. The administration of IL-10 decreased LPO and MPO activity, and suppressed initial inflammatory response in the first 24 h. The effects of anti-IL-1beta were limited to decrease in LPO activity without considerable evidence of cellular preservation. These data suggest that systemic administration of IL-10 attenuates the early ischemic response, and may restrict the tissue damage in the first 24 h after spinal cord ischemia reperfusion injury. Anti-IL-1beta has no considerable effect in this time window. The results of this preliminary study promote further studies with longer time windows on the effects of anti-inflammatory cytokines in spinal cord IRI.Journal of Surgical Research 11/2008; 155(2):345-56.

Article: Tentorial meningioma on follow-up presenting with sudden deterioration due to intra- and peritumoral hemorrhage[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Almost all meningiomas presenting with intracranial hemorrhage in the literature were admitted with symptoms relating to the hemorrhage and there were no prehemorrhage scans which demonstrated the actual size and apperance of the meningioma. This is a very rare report of a case with a tentorial meningioma documented with pre- and posthemorrhage scans.Acta Neurochirurgica 01/2007; 148(12):1315-6.

ABSTRACT: A 30-year-old woman presented with a cervical syrinx manifesting as hemihypesthesia. Neuroimaging found no evidence of Chiari malformation or tight cisterna magna. Serial magnetic resonance imaging studies over a 6-year period demonstrated spontaneous and complete resolution of the syrinx accompanied by an asymptomatic clinical course. The natural history of syringomyelia is highly unpredictable. The outcome of surgical treatment for patients with syringomyelia is not always satisfactory, so the indications for surgery are controversial. Spontaneous resolution of syringomyelia unrelated with foramen magnum lesion has various causes. Close follow up of the patient is necessary to monitor for recurrence.Neurologia medico-chirurgica 11/2006; 46(10):512-7. · 0.65 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: A 67-year-old female presented with isolated unilateral abducens nerve palsy progressing in 10 days. There were no signs of elevated intracranial pressure. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a right parasagittal meningioma. The tumor was grossly totally removed and the patient's nerve palsy gradually improved within 3 weeks. The mechanism of the isolated abducens nerve palsy in this case is attributed to compression of the abducens nerve by entrapment of the cerebrospinal fluid just before entering Dorello's canal under the petrolingual ligament. Linear forces in the midsagittal plane due to the mass effect of the tumor may have temporarily increased the local cerebrospinal fluid pressure and caused 'pseudoentrapment' of the abducens nerve.Neurologia medico-chirurgica 03/2006; 46(2):98-100.

Article: Late angiographic and clinical follow-up results of 100 consecutive aneurysms treated with Onyx reconstruction: largest single-center experience.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We present the long-term clinical and angiographic follow-up results of 100 consecutive intracranial aneurysms treated with Onyx liquid embolic system (MTI, Irvine, Calif.), either alone or combined with an adjunctive stent, in a single center. A total of 100 aneurysms in 94 patients were treated with endosaccular Onyx packing. Intracranial stenting was used adjunctively in 25 aneurysms including 19 during initial treatment and 6 during retreatment. All aneurysms except two were located in the internal carotid artery. Of the 100 aneurysms, 35 were giant or large/wide-necked, and 65 were small. Follow-up angiography was performed in all 91 surviving patients (96 aneurysms) at 3 and/or 6 months. Follow-up angiography was performed at 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 years in 90, 41, 26, 6 and 2 patients, respectively. Overall, aneurysm recanalization was observed in 12 of 96 aneurysms with follow-up angiography (12.5%). All 12 were large or giant aneurysms, resulting in a 36% recanalization rate in the large and giant aneurysm group. One aneurysm out of 25 treated with the combination of a stent and Onyx showed recanalization. There was also no recanalization in the follow-up of small internal carotid artery aneurysms treated with balloon assistance only. At final follow-up, procedure- or device-related permanent neurological morbidity was present in eight patients (8.3%). There were two procedure-related and one disease-related (subarachnoid hemorrhage) deaths (mortality 3.2%). Delayed spontaneous asymptomatic occlusion of the parent vessel occurred in two patients, detected on routine follow-up. Onyx provides durable aneurysm occlusion with parent artery reconstruction resulting in perfectly stable 1-year to 5-year follow-up angiography both in small aneurysms treated with balloon assistance only (0% recanalization rate) and large or giant aneurysms treated with stent and Onyx combination (4% recanalization rate). Endosaccular Onyx packing with balloon assistance may not be adequate for stable long-term results in those with a large or giant aneurysm. However, the recanalization rate of 36% in these aneurysms is better than the reported results with other techniques, i.e., coils with or without adjunctive bare stents.Neuroradiology 03/2006; 48(2):113-26.

Article: Proposed classification of segments of the internal carotid artery: anatomical study with angiographical interpretation.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The nomenclature and borders of the segments of the internal carotid artery (ICA) remain confusing. A classification of segments of the ICA is proposed based on constant anatomical structures, such as the carotid foramen and canal, the petrous bone, the petrolingual ligament (PLL), and the proximal and distal dural rings. The bilateral ICAs were dissected in 15 cadaveric head specimens using different neurosurgical approaches. The bilateral lacerum foramina were studied in five dry skulls. The bilateral segments of the ICA were also examined on carotid angiograms of 10 normal patients and another with the ophthalmic artery originating from the intracavernous portion of the ICA. The present classification divides the ICA into five segments in the direction of the blood flow. The cervical segment is extradural and extracranial, the petrous segment is extradural and intraosseous, the cavernous segment is interdural and intracavernous, the clinoidal segment is interdural and paracavernous, and the cisternal segment is intradural and intracisternal. The ICA did not pass through the lacerum foramen in any specimen. In all specimens, 1/8 to 5/8 of the lacerum foramen was under the deep dural layer of the cavernous sinus. The term 'lacerum segment' as used previously and called the 'trigeminal segment' by us cannot be justified. The PLL is the posterolateral border of the cavernous sinus and the lacerum and trigeminal segments should be included in the cavernous and petrous segments. The ophthalmic artery may originate from the clinoidal ICA, from the cavernous ICA, or from the middle meningeal artery. Instead of using the term 'ophthalmic segment,' the term 'cisternal segment' should be used for the anatomically distinct ICA in the subarachnoid space. This classification should be minimally affected by anatomical variations.Neurologia medico-chirurgica 05/2005; 45(4):184-90; discussion 190-1. DOI:10.2176/nmc.45.184 · 0.65 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Diagnosis of oligodendroglioma from other clear cell neoplasms of central nervous system (CNS) is still challenging despite advances in neuroradiology and molecular diagnostic tools. Herein, we present a 44-year-old male patient who had a diagnosis of right parietal oligodendroglioma grade II in 1994 which recurred in 2002. He presented with intratumoral hemorrhage and he underwent radical resection of tumor in 2003. Histopathological examination of the recurrent tumor showed anaplastic progression with confusing immunohistochemical (IHC) results; the tumor was positive for NeuN and synaptophysin staining. The question arisen was whether the recurrent tumor was an oligodendroglioma with neuronal differentiation or an extraventricular neurocytoma initially misdiagnosed as oligodendroglioma. Repeated IHC staining showed negative results for NeuN and synaptophysin. Chromosomal analysis revealed 1p/19q deletion, which led to the diagnosis ofanaplastic oligodendroglioma grade III. Accurate diagnosis of oligodendroglioma is crucial due to recent advances and promises in its treatment. Current diagnostic methods of oligodendroglial tumors are discussed in context of differentiating oligodendrogliomas from other clear cell neoplasms of CNS, especially from extraventricular neurocytomas.Clinical neuropathology 01/2005; 24(5):225-9. · 1.31 Impact Factor
Article: Effects of ionizing radiation on brain tissue surrounding arteriovenous malformations: an experimental study in a rat caroticojugular fistula model.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Arteriovenous malformation (AVM) may change the cerebral hemodynamics. The purpose of this study was to detect the effects of ionizing radiation (IR) on tissues surrounding AVM in a rat caroticojugular fistula model. Forty rats were divided into four groups. Eight weeks after caroticojugular fistulas and chronic hypoperfusion were created in groups 1 and 2, IR was administered to groups 1 and 3. Group 4 was the control. Brain tissue samples were taken 72 h after irradiation. Comet assay to detect DNA strand breaks (DSB), terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated deoxyuridine triphosphate-biotin nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay for apoptosis, and free radical measurement were performed. Although the difference between fistula plus irradiation (group 1) and fistula (group 2) was statistically insignificant in terms of DSB and free radical measurement, apoptotic cell count was significantly higher in group 1. Nonetheless, apoptotic cell count corresponded well with both free radicals and DSB in the irradiated group (group 3). Ionizing radiation resulted in significant apoptosis in both groups with or without fistulas. Chronic hypoperfusion might not prevent cerebral damage after IR. Optimal care should be taken with brain tissue around AVM during radiotherapy, regardless of presence or absence of the "steal" phenomenon.Neurosurgical Review 05/2004; 27(2):121-7.

ABSTRACT: A 58-year-old male was admitted with headache to our neurosurgery clinic. His neurological examination revealed slight left hemiparesis. The radiological evaluation with contrast administred magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan demonstrated a right temporo-parietal ring enhancing mass lesion surrounded by edema which was resembling a typical glioma (Fig. 1). The patient was operated on via a temporo-parietal craniotomy and an arteriovenous malformation surrounded by abnormal glial tissue was observed during the exposure. A nidus supplied by several branches arising from the middle cerebral artery (MCA) was obvious. The venous drainage of the malformation was to the superficial venous system. The observed arterial feeders and the draining vein were coagulated and the nidus was macroscopically totally excised. The frozen examination from surrounding glial tissue revealed a high grade glioma. The tumor was also macroscopically totally excised. Postoperatively, the cerebral angiogram demonstrated a right temporal arteriovenous malformation with a centrally excised nidus. The remaining major feeders involved the angular gyrus and the posterior temporal arteries. The venous drainage was to the straight and sigmoid sinuses (Fig. 2). The final histopathological examination of the specimen revealed an arteriovenous malformation surrounded by a high grade glioma (Fig. 3). The patient refused a second operation for total removal of the AVM. Postoperatively, he is doing well with improvement of his left hemiparesis.Acta Neurochirurgica 02/2004; 146(1):83-6; discussion 86. DOI:10.1007/s00701-003-0161-8 · 1.79 Impact Factor
Article: Treatment of internal carotid artery aneurysms with a covered stent: experience in 24 patients with mid-term follow-up results.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We present our preliminary experience, including mid-term angiographic and clinical follow-up results, with an alternative technique for the endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms in a series of patients. This new method, previously described in anecdotal case reports, consists of endovascular deployment of an artificial vessel graft (stent graft or covered stent) in the parent vessel to exclude the intracranial aneurysm sac from circulation. Twenty-five internal carotid artery (ICA) aneurysms in 24 patients were successfully treated by using a Jostent coronary stent graft deployed in the parent artery across the aneurysm neck. All except four aneurysms were extradural, located in the petrous or cavernous portion of the ICA. The four intradural aneurysms were located in the carotico-ophthalmic region. Seventeen aneurysms in 16 patients occurred posttraumatically, secondary to motor vehicle accidents or surgical injury. Twenty-three aneurysms were immediately excluded from circulation after stent graft placement. In two aneurysms, a slow contrast material filling (endoleak) into the aneurysm cavity was observed immediately after treatment. One was thrombosed, as shown by late control angiography; in the other one, a second larger bare stent was used to appose the stent graft's distal end to the ICA wall, thus sealing the endoleak into the distal graft. No technical adverse event, including vessel dissection, vessel perforation, or thromboembolism, occurred with or without clinical consequence. No mortality or morbidity developed during or after the procedure, including the follow-up period. Two-year control angiography in one patient, 1.5-year control angiography in two patients, 1-year control angiography in six patients, and 6-month control angiography in 12 patients were performed, revealing reconstruction of the ICA with no aneurysm recanalization. All symptoms resolved after treatment in the patients who had initially presented with mass effect. Initial anatomic, clinical and mid-term follow-up results in this small series of patients are encouraging. This technique has been proved to have potential in the reconstructive treatment of intracranial aneurysms. Further research and development are needed to optimize the stent graft technology for the cerebrovascular system.American Journal of Neuroradiology 01/2004; 25(10):1742-9. · 3.68 Impact Factor
Article: Course and relationship of cranial nerves from end organs through foraminas to root entry zones. How far can they be mobilized: an anatomical study[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In this study, the mobilization of all cranial nerves with drilling of several bony structure,cutting of ligaments, folds and dural attachments were performed via different skull baseapproaches.Twenty cadaveric head specimens filled with microfil were dissected bilaterally. On 5 dryskulls, important bony structures were also studied.We observed that the mobilization of the nerves II, III, VI, VIII, and XII were not easycomparing to other cranial nerves. The subfrontal parenchymal tissue should be removedand the olfactory nerve should be dissected for mobilization of the first cranial nerve. Themobilization of the nerves IV, V, VII, IX, and XI were dramatically remarkable after drillingof superior orbital fissure, foramen ovale, foramen rotundum, Fallopian canal, and jugularforamen.
Article: Ultra rapid spontaneous resolution of acute posttraumatic subdural hematomas in patient with temporal linear fracture.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We report a case of 57 year-old man with documented posttraumatic acute subdural hematoma and a linear temporal bone fracture. He suffered from a blunt head injury and presented with sudden loss of consciousness. Within 2 hours he became alert and oriented. Follow-up CT scan of brain 2 hours after the initial one showed resolution and redistribution of the subdural hematoma. To our knowledge, this is the first case in the literature about spontaneous resolution of an acute subdural hematoma in a patient with a linear fracture and the fastest resolution period. In this article, the authors discuss the underlying pathophysiology of this uncommon phenomenon.Acta Neurochirurgica 09/2003; 145(8):715-7; discussion 717.

Article: Traumatic epidural haematoma of the posterior fossa in childhood: 16 new cases and a review of the literature[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A series of 16 children (nine males, seven females) with traumatic epidural haematoma of the posterior fossa (TEHPF) is presented. All patients had a history of mild to moderate trauma to the occiput. The causes were falls in 15 and traffic accident in one case. Four of the 16 cases had depressed fractures of the occipital bone. Surgical intervention was performed in all cases. In 14 patients the outcome was good, one patient had moderate disability and one died. Our study revealed that early diagnosis and urgent surgical intervention may give the patient a chance of total recovery and craniotomy with haematoma evacuation is an appropriate surgical technique as in the case of supratentorial extradural hematoma.British Journal of Neurosurgery 07/2003; 17(3):226-9.

Article: Transcorneal stimulation of trigeminal nerve afferents to increase cerebral blood flow in rats with cerebral vasospasm: A noninvasive method to activate the trigeminovascular reflex[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The goal of this study was to investigate whether stimulation of trigeminal afferents in the cornea could enhance cerebral blood flow (CBF) in rats after they have been subjected to experimental subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Cerebral vasospasm following SAH may compromise CBF and increase the risks of morbidity and mortality. Currently, there is no effective treatment for SAH-induced vasospasm. Direct stimulation of the trigeminal nerve has been shown to dilate constricted cerebral arteries after SAH; however, a noninvasive method to activate this nerve would be preferable for human applications. The authors hypothesized that stimulation of free nerve endings of trigeminal sensory fibers in the face might be as effective as direct stimulation of the trigeminal nerve. Autologous blood obtained from the tail artery was injected into the cisterna magna of 10 rats. Forty-eight and 96 hours later (five rats each) trigeminal afferents were stimulated selectively by applying transcorneal biphasic pulses (1 msec, 3 mA, and 30 Hz), and CBF enhancements were detected using laser Doppler flowmetry in the territory of the middle cerebral artery. Stimulation-induced changes in cerebrovascular parameters were compared with similar parameters in sham-operated controls (six rats). Development of vasospasm was histologically verified in every rat with SAH. Corneal stimulation caused an increase in CBF and blood pressure and a net decrease in cerebrovascular resistance. There were no significant differences between groups for these changes. Data from the present study demonstrate that transcorneal stimulation of trigeminal nerve endings induces vasodilation and a robust increase in CBF. The vasodilatory response of cerebral vessels to trigeminal activation is retained after SAH-induced vasospasm.Journal of Neurosurgery 12/2002; 97(5):1179-83.

Article: Endovascular treatment of kissing aneurysms at the fenestrated basilar artery. Case report with literature review.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Basilar artery fenestrations are most commonly located in the proximal basilar trunk close to the vertebrobasilar junction and may harbor saccular aneurysms. Surgical treatment of such aneurysms has been reported in several cases previously, despite the difficulty of the surgical approach. Endovascular treatment may provide a more convenient treatment alternative in such cases. This case is also interesting in that two discrete aneurysms arise from each limb of the fenestration. A 20-year-old man presented with acute subarachnoid hemorrhage. He had two kissing aneurysms at the fenestrated proximal basilar artery as demonstrated by MRA and selective angiography. The two aneurysms were successfully treated with GDCs via the contralateral vertebral arteries. One-year control angiogram showed stable occlusion. Aneurysms at the fenestrated basilar artery may be effectively treated with endovascular coil occlusion. The occurrence of multiplicity and the treatment alternatives are discussed, with relevant literature review.Surgical Neurology 08/2002; 58(1):54-8; discussion 58.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Press release from Marketwire
Storm Resources Ltd. Announces Completion of Previously Announced Acquisition of Bellamont Exploration Ltd. and Financing
Friday, March 23, 2012
Storm Resources Ltd. Announces Completion of Previously Announced Acquisition of Bellamont Exploration Ltd. and Financing14:00 EDT Friday, March 23, 2012CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - March 23, 2012) -NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES. ANY FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS RESTRICTION MAY CONSTITUTE A VIOLATION OF U.S. SECURITIES LAWS. STORM RESOURCES LTD. ("Storm") (TSX VENTURE:SRX) is pleased to announce the successful closing of the previously announced acquisition of Bellamont Exploration Ltd. ("Bellamont") by way of a plan of arrangement pursuant to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) (the "Arrangement"). Pursuant to the Arrangement, Storm: (i) paid an aggregate of $20.0 million, and (ii) issued an aggregate of 16,740,096 common shares of Storm ("Storm Shares"), at a deemed issuance price of $2.37 per Storm Share, for the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Bellamont. After the completion of the Arrangement and the closing of the private placements described below, there are 61,824,256 Storm Shares issued and outstanding on a non-diluted basis. The Arrangement has been conditionally accepted by the TSX Venture Exchange. Final acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange is subject to the satisfaction of a number of customary conditions. The acquisition of Bellamont adds approximately 2,000 Boe per day of current production (49% liquids) and 55,600 net acres of undeveloped land, primarily in the Grande Prairie area of north west Alberta. Approximately 225 Boe per day is shut-in due to mechanical issues at two liquids rich Montney gas wells in the Grande Prairie area (pipeline failure and awaiting installation of artificial lift), 50 Boe per day was shut-in earlier in the first quarter due to low natural gas prices, and another 100 Boe per day will be shut-in by the end of March because of low natural gas prices. Bellamont's estimated net debt at closing was approximately $36.1 million including severance and transaction costs, and after deducting proceeds from the sale of undeveloped lands for $4.25 million. Using the closing price of the Storm Shares on March 22, 2012 of $2.37 per Storm Share, the cost to acquire Bellamont was approximately $95.8 million, which includes the assumption of Bellamont's net debt. Including the Bellamont assets, Storm's production is forecasted to be approximately 3,000 Boe per day (40% liquids) in the second quarter. Excluding acquisitions, capital investment in 2012 on operations is expected to be approximately $34 million. Production is forecasted to increase to 3,600 to 4,000 Boe per day (40% liquids) in the fourth quarter as a result of the 2012 capital investment program. Storm anticipates near-term growth will primarily come from the exploitation of light oil opportunities in the Grande Prairie area and from delineating Storm's liquids rich natural gas resource in the Montney formation at Umbach. Storm anticipates longer term growth will come from further exploitation of Storm's large shale gas resource in the Horn River Basin area of north eastern British Columbia. Storm will issue a press release in respect of an independent evaluation of the Bellamont assets being completed by InSite Petroleum Consultants Ltd. in the near future. The Arrangement was funded in part through the successful closing of: (i) the previously announced brokered private placement of 2,353,000 Storm Shares (the "Brokered Private Placement"); and (ii) the previously announced non-brokered private placement of 4,593,000 Storm Shares (the "Non-Brokered Private Placement"). Pursuant to the Brokered Private Placement with a syndicate of agents including Peters & Co. Limited, FirstEnergy Capital Corp., National Bank Financial Inc. and Macquarie Capital Markets Canada Ltd. (collectively, the "Agents"), Storm issued an aggregate of 2,353,000 Storm Shares, at a price of $3.40 per Storm Share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $8,000,200. Pursuant to the Non-Brokered Private Placement, Storm issued an aggregate of 4,593,000 Storm Shares, at a price of $3.40 per Storm Share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $15,616,200, of which 2,468,000 Storm Shares were issued to certain officers, directors and employees of Storm. The aggregate gross proceeds from the Brokered Private Placement and the Non-Brokered Private were released from escrow upon closing of the Arrangement, which proceeds had been deposited in escrow with an escrow agent pending confirmation that all conditions to be satisfied prior to completion of the Arrangement had been satisfied. Upon closing of the Arrangement, Storm's revolving bank credit facility was increased to $70 million. Storm Resources Ltd. began operations in August 2010. Storm is headquartered in Calgary, Alberta and is active in the Horn River Basin and Umbach areas of north east British Columbia, and in the Grande Prairie area of north west Alberta.READER ADVISORIESBoe Presentation - For the purpose of calculating unit revenues and costs, natural gas is converted to a barrel of oil equivalent ("Boe") using six thousand cubic feet ("Mcf") of natural gas equal to one barrel of oil unless otherwise stated. Boe may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A Boe conversion ratio of six Mcf to one barrel ("Bbl") is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. All Boe measurements and conversions in this report are derived by converting natural gas to oil in the ratio of six thousand cubic feet of gas to one barrel of oil. Mboe means 1,000 Boe.Certain information in this press release contains forward-looking information that involves risk and uncertainty. For this purpose, any statements that are contained in this press release that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements often contain terms such as "may", "will", "should", "anticipate", "expects" and similar expressions.

I went to the Volcom shareholder meeting Tuesday to hear the company's presentation and to see how Volcom executives would dress this year. They always wear matching outfits at the meeting.Volcom CEO Richard Woolcott, Electric Visual's
First, a few highlights from the presentation. CFO Doug Collier discussed the company's growth over the last 18 years, noting that Volcom's first year of full revenue in 1992 totaled $2,602. In fiscal 2008, sales reached $334 million.
Richard talked about how the company handled the recession last year. He described the challenges of the abrupt switch in the environment, and that the company has done a good job riding through the economic storm. Volcom kept fighting, he said, and in the end it has been a great experience. Volcom and its executives have matured as a result, he said.
Richard also reviewed Volcom's key accomplishments for 2008. Volcom acquired Electric, its Japanese distributor and Laguna Surf & Sport's two stores; had its first full year of operations with its Europe division in-house; expanded Volcom-owned stores to 10; maintained its financial health; and weathered the economic storm.Richard with his father and
A theme around Volcom headquarters, Richard said, is "Keep your eye on the Stone," which means keeping your eye on the fundamentals such as the Volcom brand and shipping great product on time. It's a play on a similar saying Richard's father, René, used to tell Richard when Volcom was starting out: "Keep your eye on the sparrow." It was a reminder to always be focused on the business fundamentals, like inventory, balance sheets, etc.
Another interesting note popped up during the presentation about the sports Volcom is involved with. Volcom has been entering the motocross arena in the last year, and now sponsors some motocross athletes.
Looking forward, Richard said that visibility remains limited. Accounts are challenged to project sales and there's a low risk tolerance at retail. But Volcom is seeing some signs of optimism.
Expense management is also a core focus going forward, he said.
In the U.S., Volcom's goal is to keep its current distribution healthy and support core stores with product presentations, merchandising efforts and marketing. And, to stay on the road and be in constant communication with retailers.
In Europe, the goal is to capitalize on Volcom's brand awareness. The company will monitor the business environment and evaluate distribution opportunities. The company has taken direct control of its United Kingdom business and has opened a Volcom store in London.
In the Pacific Rim, the integration of the former Japanese distributor into Volcom has gone well, and the company is strengthening the infrastructure there, including adding some employees. Volcom is working on fine tuning the product and pricing for the Japanese market. In Australia, a key Volcom executive has been working with the licensee there for a year and the company plans to continue working closely with that group.
About those outfits: The shirts are from Volcom's Stone Age line and inspired by Volcom skater Jake Duncombe, who likes Aloha shirts.Volcom's executive team, L-R: Jeff Roberts, VP of retail; Jason Steris, president;

Bemis Co. Inc.
Bemis Co. Inc. announced this week it has sold its Vancouver plant, along with three other paper packaging plants to Hood Packaging Corp., based in Mississippi.
Hood Packaging intends to continue operating the Vancouver plant, which employs about 150 people at 1401 W. Fourth Plain Blvd., said Melanie Miller, vice president and treasurer of Bemis Co., which is headquartered in Neenah, Wis.
"The (employees) have all been hired by Hood Packaging, and the company has indicated they intend to continue running these plants," Miller said.
Terms of the agreement were not disclosed. Bemis opened its Vancouver plant in 1947. It underwent major remodeling in 1987 and again in 1994, Miller said. The local facility primarily manufactures multi-wall paper pet food bags. It also makes bags for rice and for some non-food products.
Bemis sold off its paper division because its focus has shifted to plastics manufacturing over the last 30 years. Hood Packaging continues to concentrate on both paper and plastic.
"They're still very focused on expanding their paper packaging division," Miller said.
Bemis Co. sold a total of four paper packaging plants to Hood Packaging Corp., which, in addition to Vancouver, now owns former Bemis plants in Omaha, Neb.; Crossett, Ark.; and Minneapolis, Minn.
Bemis' paper packaging division recorded sales of approximately $160 million in 2013, according to a written statement issued by XMS Capital Partners in Chicago, which handled the transaction.
"The sale of this division will allow Bemis to focus our resources on strategic opportunities in high barrier flexible packaging, medical and pharmaceutical packaging, and developing geographic markets," Henry Theisen, Bemis Co.'s chairman and chief executive officer, said in a written statement.
Officials from Hood Packaging did not immediately return phone and email messages. According to its website, the company now owns 12 paper packaging plants and seven plastic packaging plants across the United States and Canada. It was founded in 1978 as a single plant, Southern Bag Corp., Ltd., in Yazoo City, Miss.
The private company grew through acquisitions and was renamed Hood Packaging Corp. It now bills itself as the world's third-largest supplier of multi-wall paper packaging. It also manufactures paper flexible packaging and bags, consumer plastic packaging and industrial plastic packaging at 19 plants in the U.S. and Canada.
Since selling its paper division to Hood Packaging, Bemis Co. now operates 68 plants, down from 72. The company was founded by Judson Moss Bemis in 1858 in St. Louis, Mo., as a manufacturer of printed cotton bags for food products. Now a public company, Bemis Co. is included in the S&P 500 index of stocks under the symbol BMS. The company reported net sales of $5 billion in 2013.

Arizona Diamondbacks
Diamondbacks' Mark Trumbo looks to protect Paul Goldschmidt
Last season, Paul Goldschmidt hit .302 with 36 home runs and 125 RBI.
It was a banner season that earned him a second-place finish in the NL MVP voting and established the first baseman as one of the best young players in baseball.
The D-backs want more, though, which is why they went out and traded for Angels slugger Mark Trumbo.
It's not that they expect Trumbo to motivate Goldschmidt; rather, the thought is he will offer the first baseman a level of "protection" he was lacking last season.
The theory is if you pitch around Goldschmidt you'll have to deal with Trumbo, who hit .234 with 30 home runs while driving in 100 last year.
You kind of have to pick your poison.
"Without a doubt," Trumbo told Doug and Wolf on Arizona Sports 98.7 FM Thursday when asked if he believes in the idea of protection in a lineup.
The way Trumbo sees it, the more hot bats there are in a lineup, the more the entire lineup benefits. With the Angels last season, he saw that first-hand with regards to star Mike Trout, who was hitting in front of three-time NL MVP Albert Pujols for a while.
"He got quite a few pitches to hit, then Albert went down, and the next thing you know the guy's got over 100 walks, and I think Goldy experienced that last year, too," he said. "If you really don't have a threat or a guy...if you've got that combo, they're going to take their chances probably on both guys as opposed to just a free pass and then go after the next guy.
"So I'm a big believer that yeah, you need some protection in the lineup."

- Jared Shanker, ESPN Staff Writer
Braxton Berrios was intrigued, but hardly worried. He did not expect the NCAA to alter his future Tuesday when it announced its long-awaited sanctions on Miami.
Now that Miami will not face any further bowl bans and will lose only nine total scholarships over the next three seasons, Berrios is ready to move on to Coral Gables, Fla., with the rest of Miami's top-five 2014 recruiting class.
"It's great to be a Miami Hurricane," the four-star receiver from Raleigh (N.C.) Leesville Road said. "I'm glad this 2½-year investigation is over and the university as well can move on."
Miami is 6-0 and No. 7 in the initial BCS standings, and ESPN 300 defensive end commit Trent Harris (Winter Park, Fla./Winter Park) believes the news of the NCAA sanctions had benefits in the present and future.
The Canes' self-imposed postseason ban kept them from competing for an ACC title in 2012, but they are in the driver's seat for a conference championship in 2013.
"Well, I think it's great that they weren't banned from any bowl games and I know that the current players on the team just got an extra boost of excitement," Harris said. "I just can't wait to go out there and win a national championship."
Miami coach Al Golden has told recruits not to worry about the NCAA, and they heeded his advice. Top target Johnnie Dixon (Palm Beach Gardens, Fla./Dwyer), No. 42 in the ESPN 300, told the Palm Beach Post's Anthony Chiang he "wasn't too worried about the Miami sanctions."
Asked if he was concerned the NCAA's decision could impact his verbal commitment and future with the program, Berrios said, "Not really."
"I figured they wouldn't get much. Al Golden played a great part as well as [Miami president Donna Shalala] in assuring Miami did all they could to minimize the sanctions," Berrios said.
Already with the No. 4 class nationally, Miami has exceeded expectations despite terms like "death penalty" being thrown the Hurricanes' way the past two years. West Palm Beach (Fla.) Cardinal Newman coach Steve Walsh, a former Miami and NFL quarterback, said the school's proactive approach to the NCAA investigation has allowed the program to put the worst behind it and recruit like a program that was once annually in the hunt for the nation's top class. Miami is already well below the scholarship limit of 85, so the Canes are not strapped for spots in future classes despite dealing with three fewer scholarships the next three cycles.
"Miami really prepared for so much, sacrificing a couple of games and sacrificing scholarships," he said. "I think, because [of] the university preparing, they are well prepared to handle the scholarship loss and move forward."
With the black clouds lifting from Coral Gables, ESPN 300 commit Nigel Bethel II (Miami/Booker T. Washington) spoke for the entire 2014 class when he said: "Ready to get Miami back on top."

The Redskins cut nine players Sunday afternoon as they began the process of reducing their roster to 75 by Tuesday's deadline.
The biggest name to get cut was veteran outside linebacker Rob Jackson, who had been with the Redskins since 2008. He told me in a text message that he was not surprised by the decision. He had started to get a sense that his job was in jeopardy when he stopped getting special teams reps. The 28-year-old lined up for 18 plays against the Ravens, but none on special teams.
Washington also cut fullback Stephen Campbell, wide receiver Cody Hoffman, linebacker Jeremy Kimbrough, wide receiver Rashad Lawrence, safety Ross Madison, defensive end Jake McDonough, linebacker Adrian Robinson and defensive end Jeremy Towns.
At 6-4, Cody Hoffman, a former standout at BYU, was the tallest receiver on the Redskins' roster. He did not catch a pass in three preseason games.
Jackson and Robinson getting cut sets up a potentially intriguing battle between Everette Brown and Gabe Miller for the fourth outside linebacker position. Both saw extensive time on special teams against the Ravens.

love these two and I can't wait to shoot their wedding in October!
Maybe the most precious human being I've ever met. William walks the beach singing hymns… stopping every few steps holding out his hand for money. Blind in one eye because of a cataract and in the other because of a rock someone threw at him. Josh talked with him for quite a while, they sang some hymns together then prayed for each other.
I was so humbled by this mans joy and so convicted of how quick to complain I am about anything and everything…
Beautiful Barbie & Ken, I mean, Colin and Jacqueline got married on Dec 29, 14. It was an exceptionally chilly winter day but the sun was shining and it was the perfect day for a wedding.
These two are as sweet as it gets. I was so happy they asked me to document their special day! I am starting to really love shooting winter weddings. Theres something about the added challenge that gives a bigger payoff when you get the shots you want.
And I didn't even go to the library to shoot!!!! (I did suggest it but we were pressed for time…hehe)
All the best you two!
I've known Emily-Anne and her darling parents almost my entire life. (These people are the sweeeeeetest!) She was home from Vancouver over the holidays and so they asked me to get some family shots of them while they were together! We did a photoshoot in the fre-e-e-e-e-zing cold. (Thank you Larry for offering your coat to me multiple times<3) I am kind of sort of very done with winter already…it makes photo shoots so much trickier! Thankfully these guys were troopers and we got some great shots, here are just a few!

Kickstarter campaign to fund Emily VanCamp film goes down to the wire
A Kickstarter campaign has been started to fund a film starring Emily VanCamp.
Just Jared reports the star of ABC's "Revenge" is the lead for the movie "The Girl in the Book," which is currently shooting in New York. The movie is based on a true story about a young writer's transformation.
The film's campaign page is asking for $65,000 by July 1. At this time, it has yet to reach half of its intended goal.
The Kickstarter page reads:
Due to actor availability issues, we had a small window to bring this film into production. While we've raised enough money to get us through principal photography, we're still in need of $65,000 to cover all remaining expenses.

While I was familiar with PowerPoint even before coming to oDesk, it's working with people across world that helped me gather more experience. That way I expanded my technical knowledge of the software and increased speed in making modifications of any presentation file. Which is good for my clients, too. Besides typical PowerPoint presentations I have experience with Prezi. They are more dynamical presentations but on the other hand best suited for lesser content. Together with Prezis I can screen-record, synchronize, make subtitles and export your presentation in .mp4 or other format. I've worked so far on various types of presentations: business proposals, educational, e-learning materials, marketing and other. See bellow some of my portfolio samples. Relevant info: Typing speed: 45 WPM. Internet download speed: 5 Mbps, upload: 2 Mbps. I'm working on a PC with Windows 8.1. PowerPoint 2013.

Those participating are urged to check the agency's website at www.highpeakshospice.com on Thursday or call Up Yonda Farm for conditions. If there is not enough snow, a backup date of Sunday, Feb. 28 is planned.
