HHS theater students take state honor
HUNTINGTON -- Huntington High School theater students nearly swept the West Virginia Thespian Festival, which took place April 8-10 in Charleston.
The team has been chosen to represent West Virginia at the International Thespian Festival at the University of Nebraska on June 21-26.
"It was probably the most emotional thing in my life," said Cody Verbage, who won best supporting actor. "I've never felt so accomplished. It's great to be a part of a change where theater is a recognizable thing at Huntington High School."
Verbage, who has been accepted to New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, said he is excited to showcase his school one more time at the international festival.
But director Helen Freeman does get to keep Elijah Boyles for one more year. The junior won best actor and said it was a moment he'll remember the rest of his life.
"I'm so honored to say I'm the best actor (in the state)," he said.
Both Boyles and Verbage said the whole group has worked so hard throughout the year. And even though everyone has a different personality, they came together under Freeman's direction.
"She won't let us rest for a moment," Verbage said of her leadership.
Freeman, who won the state competition three times with Capital High School in Charleston, said this is probably more special because Capital's program was already built up when she arrived.
"It never happened to me the way it happened at Huntington High," she said. "Here, we took the program from very small to major."
Freeman and her students are asking the community to help out in funding the trip to Nebraska. The state has provided $10,000 toward the trip's expenses, which could be as high as $30,000. The cost is $590 per student and $690 per chaperone. That covers meals and room and board. Airfare and transportation could be as high as $450 per student. And Freeman said they also have to pay to have the props for the show shipped and additional costume rentals.
But she believes the students deserve to go after working so hard and so well together.
"We love each other and love being together," she said of the group.

Titan 4L Motorcycle cover from Half-Throttle.com
Delaware Valley Outdoor's Video Review of an Empire Boat Cover!
Funny Boat Cover Review by Three Kids!
How to keep your RV looking new with an RV Cover
EmpireCovers sent us a sample that we tried on an Auto123.com staffer's car, a Grabber Blue 2011 Ford Mustang GT. This car cover is called the Titan and is manufactured by Budge, a company who has been making them for nearly 70 years.
I was initially surprised by the level of quality and craftsmanship that went into manufacturing this cover. The cloth was soft and durable while still maintaining shape and not being too flimsy or thin to actually protect the car. The cover is manufactured in five layers; three layers of waterproof Polypropylene material protecting an interior waterproof membrane and an inside layer of Fleece to prevent scratches. Despite being five layers, it appears to be well-ventilated, which will prevent rot and mildew.
The Empire Car Cover site was easy to use and I was able to select a cover appropriate to my needs. The Empire Car Cover arrived quickly and was as-described, and fit my Cadillac. It appears to be well constructed, and I am happy with the quality. I believe that the under-car Gust Guard straps will act to keep the cover in place, but I will have to test that in the wind to confirm.
The Titan 5L car cover is well-made with high-quality materials. It has five layers of protective materials, which makes it 100 percent waterproof. And the soft fleece lining is oh, so delicate against the car's paint job. The ultrasonically welded seams ensure that no grime seeps its way through the cover and dirties up your car.
While checking the cover, I paid particular attention to the stitching. I was glad to see that the seams were double stitched. This will go a long ways in keeping the cover from coming apart down the road. Did I mention "The Max" cover comes with a lifetime warranty? You can't give that to your customers when the cover isn't a quality product.
These truck covers come with everything needed to use -- no need for additional straps or cords! They don't tear easy like some cheap covers or tarps, they really could last a long time! I also really liked that we could specify the exact make and model of our truck, and the cover that came was suited perfectly to the length and height of our vehicle.
Empire Car Covers has a high quality 5 layer all weather cover that will protect your Miata from harsh weather and the sun. They have a wide selection of different miata covers to choose from. This particular cover is their Titan Car Cover. This is their top of the line 5 layer cover.The Titan cover is ultrasonically welded together to ensure 100% waterproof protection.
The cover is breathable which allows moisture to evaporate and prevent mildew. The inner fleece layer is gentle on your mustangs paint. The cover is UV treated to protects your paint from fading plus helps keep the car surface cool.The Hem is fully elastic for a good snug fit with straps to keep it in place.
The cover is made of polypropylene and is vented along the top edge.We found that there were zippers on one end and along one side. The zippers on the side allow access to your doors. The zippers on each corner of the end allow access to the rear of your RV and would be real handy if you had a toy hauler.
I was so excited to be able to review a cover for our camper! We have had our camper for a little over a year and having a cover for it helps to keep it clean and safe from the weather. My hubby was very impressed by the quality of the cover and was super happy that the cover is weather proof. It fit our camper perfectly!
The cover itself has air vents to help reduce wind lofting and also allows trapped moisture to escape. The top of the cover is made of three layers to repel rain, snow, and UV rays, the sides of the cover are single layer polypropylene and also UV resistant. We get some awful weather here in New England at times, especially in the winter, so its important that the cover can protect the camper from the ice and snow.
I must admit it was super easy to put on with 2 people. Im sure that my husband could have done it himself but it went much faster with the two of us putting the cover on. We both are really curious to see how well it holds up in the Pocono winters this season. My absolute favorite part is the zippered doors! This makes for easy entry inside!
My husband was impressed with the quality of the cover. It is waterproof, yet breathable. It will not hold moisture in, yet it keeps rain out. He really likes the cover! And I am glad that our trailer has some protection from the weather.
It fits very well and was easy to cover our travel trailer! The unique adjustable design fits both travel trailers and 5th wheel type toy haulers, helping to provide a custom-like fit. This Toy Hauler and Travel Trailer cover has full height zippered access panels, so you can access and store your recreational items while the trailer is covered.
The RV cover I picked was the Truck Camper Cover. I have tried a few covers before and none of them has fit it as well as this cover! I have some serious trouble getting previous covers to fit my camper correctly but using the EmpireCovers Truck Camper Cover was very easy. It took me less than 5 minutes to have it on correctly. I also LOVED that it came with its own storage bag.
This cover fits my RV better than my previous cover, it's light and compact which makes it easy to store and handle (about 1/2 the bulk of my other cover). The elastic in the front and rear hold it in place right away without having to tie it down, Installation and removal is easy which means I can put it on more often, It has yellow reflectors sewn into the front and rear to keep your guests (or kids) from driving into it at night.
The motorcycle cover did much better than my umbrella. The few drops of rain that were on the bike are because it had started to sprinkle before I could get the cover on. But for the massive rain it went through I have no problem certifying this, "Panama rainy season waterproof approved."
The EmpireCovers VIPS motorcycle is durable, lightweight, functional, well constructed, and is breathable so will not collect moisture. If materials fail within 5 years of purchase, EmpireCovers will replace or repair the cover. The cover is inexpensive and you have a cover that will fully encapsulate your motorcycle.
The Silver Shark cover is designed to protect your boat from all types of weather and constructed of 300 Denier Polyester for long lasting durability. Durability that is also backed up by EmpireCovers' full 3 year warranty.
The Rug Wrap and Road Wrap are two pretty great products. I must admit that I did like the Rug Wrap more than the Road Wrap, as it was a bit easier to use and I could see myself using it on a regular basis. Whereas the Road Wrap, did serve a great purpose, I don't see myself using it as much. However, I would without a doubt recommend both products. They both do a great job!
It fits my Jeep Wrangler perfectly. I am so pleased with it. It is the softest material that won't scratch my Jeep's paint. It is 100% waterproof and blocks UV rays since the outer layers are made of Dupont Tyvek. One of the neatest part of this cover is that it's an American made product. It comes with a nice mesh bag so that when we are taking the jeep out and about we can easily store the jeep cover.
The material of the cover itself is very nice. The inside of the cover is soft yet tough. The outide is also a soft material but tough as nails. Tugging and pulling on the cover, it was obvious that this cover is tough. I don't park under any trees, or have small woodland animals near my home, but I imagine that this cover will withstand small branches that may fall on it.
We have a little pop-up, and it is so nice to have a folding camper cover to protect it from the elements! The cover is very well made, and I love that it arrived with no extra packing to cause waste. It has heavy-duty elastic, so it fits over our camper nicely. The cover will prevent mold and mildew growth, extending the life of our camper. It also helps protect against sun damage, which is really important when you live in Florida!
We had looked at covers in stores; however, what we found was not close to the quality of this cover. The quality is much better than I expected and the material is mold and mildew resistant. We found it easy to put on and take off. The bottom of the cover has elastic all the way around it, making it easy to stretch-to-fit. We start camping either in March or April and quit in October.
I'm even a stickler over the fit of the cover, which is why I was anxious to see how the new cover I got from Empire fit over my Audi S4. When I first opened the box, I was intrigued with how it came packaged... in its own "pull-tie" bag made of the same cover material. A nice touch. Even nice to find while I was putting it on the car that it is sewn and attached to the cover so you don't loose it. Another nice little touch.

Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

I went today with my family to try the chicken they advertised, well the chicken was not fresh. It seemed to be from a day before and only warm and served to us. I can say this is one of the most unappetizing rotisserie chickens I ever had and my family agreed with me, my kids they did try it and told me it was really disappointing. We pay $20 for a left over chicken from the previous day....too bad, really bad because I went to this restaurant with very high expectations. Another thing that blow me up was the price they charge for a can of "Inka Kola"; $3 each....that is an abuse. On my personal opinion I will never be back to this place. It was a really disappointing dining experience for me and my family..

Israel's Elbit Systems has developed a new version of its C-Music anti-missile system, adapting the platform for medium-to-large transports and tankers.
Known as J-Music, the system is based on infrared detection and laser countermeasure technology, and is being formally unveiled at the Farnborough air show.
Elbit says the equipment "rapidly acquires and tracks" shoulder-launched missiles and is intended to extend the number of platforms which the manufacturer's defence equipment can protect.
C-Music has already been chosen by the Israeli government for passenger aircraft. Elbit says the J-Music system is "specifically designed and optimised" for medium and large types.
It states that J-Music - available with a single or dual countermeasures turret - has a distributed architecture, allowing components to be installed at various points on an aircraft.

Students who withdraw from either the College or a particular course must initiate such action in the Office of the Registrar.
Failure to attend class or providing informal notification to instructors will not be considered official notice of withdrawal.
A student may withdraw from the College (all courses) at any time prior to the first day of final examinations. Withdrawals initiated during the 75% refund period result in deletion of the course(s) from the record. Withdrawals initiated after the 75% refund period result in the appearance of the individual courses on the student's transcript with grades of "W."
A student may withdraw from an individual full-semester course either during the 75% refund period, in which case the course will not appear on the transcript, or from the second week through the ninth week withdrawal deadline, in which case the course will appear on the transcript with a grade of "W." For other courses that do not meet for the entire semester, a student may withdraw and receive the grade of "W" through the date on which sixty percent of the course has been completed. This is the equivalent to the ninth week of a full-semester course. Students should check with the Office of the Registrar for the final withdrawal date for other courses that do not follow the standard schedule. A student may be administratively withdrawn by the College for lack of attendance, documented medical reasons, service to country or as a result of disciplinary action.
If a student feels he or she has an extenuating circumstance which justifies an exception to the standard withdrawal policy, he or she may appeal to the Withdrawal Appeal Committee.
• The appeal process is limited to enrolled courses taken within the last three (3) semesters prior to the semester when the request is made. (Appeals for semesters beyond this limit will not be reviewed.)
• All requests must be submitted in writing to the Withdrawal Appeal Committee and must include supporting documentation (e.g. copies of registration form, drop/add forms, medical verification) and the Tuition Refund Appeal Form.
• Appeals received without the proper documentation and form will not be reviewed.
• Appeals must be made by the student. Appeals made "on behalf of" a student will not be reviewed.
Withdrawal procedures and add/drop refund dates are widely publicized. Therefore, appeals based on lack of awareness of these issues will not be reviewed. The Committee's decisions are final.

SHAMOKIN — There is still so much sadness in Shamokin as a community tries to understand why the life of a 13-year-old girl was lost in a fire during this holiday season.
Flames out of control, that's what first responders faced in Shamokin Tuesday. A row house caught fire and trapped inside the attic was13-year-old Melissa Pangburn. She died.
Police chief Ed Griffiths and Scott Bramhall are very emotional talking about how they both tried to rescue the seventh grader. Bramhall said he then made a second attempt.
"Somebody was yelling about a ladder and me and the kids ran up to my garage and got my extension ladder. By the time we got back here, the fire was coming out the windows. We just couldn't get in."
Two insurance adjusters were at the fire scene Thursday. Kurt Hepler said knowing a young girl died makes his job that much harder.
"It doesn't get any easier and I doubt it ever will so you always hope there is no loss of life and it's unfortunate in this case."
Stacy Huber agrees.
"As a mother I don't know what I would do if I lost a child. My thoughts and prayers are with the family and if there was anything I could do to help I would be willing," Huber explained.
Charles Wheary said the loss of life affects him. You can see the fire scene from his house.
"I feel bad. Every time I talk about it I start crying."
It's clear that some people in Shamokin will always remember what happened in the row home and the young life that was lost.

In 1868 Bacon, an eminent physician, noted the occurrence of sudden death in a fit and almost 40 years later Spratling, one of the earliest American neurologists, recognised epilepsy as a disease which destroys life suddenly and without warning through a single brief attack. Despite this, in the 1960s it was suggested that there is no reason why someone with epilepsy should not live as long as he would if he did not have epilepsy (Livingstone 1963).
SUDEP is sudden unexpected death in someone with epilepsy, who was otherwise well, and in whom no other cause for death can be found, despite thorough post mortem examination and blood tests. The definition excludes people dying in status epilepticus and those who drown.
Awareness of SUDEP has increased over recent years, yet in many countries the medical profession has been reluctant to consider SUDEP. Indeed, there is little information on the number of cases in different countries. It has been estimated that the risk of sudden death is almost 24 times higher than for someone without epilepsy.
Most people with newly diagnosed epilepsy will stop having seizures, and SUDEP is very rare amongst them. Searching for risk factors in this group would require meticulous follow up of large numbers of people. Studies of SUDEP have therefore usually been conducted in groups of people with more severe forms of epilepsy, such as specialist clinic populations, hospital inpatients or residential groups. The risk of SUDEP is elevated in these populations. It is estimated as between 1:500 and 1:1000 patient-years in community based populations with epilepsy, and even higher in people considered for surgery.
The cause of death in SUDEP is currently, by definition, unknown, but various risk factors have been suggested. These include young adulthood, presence of convulsive attacks, poor seizure control and poor adherence with antiepileptic drugs (AEDs). Other suggested risk factors are male gender, use of more than one AED, frequent changes of dose or type of AED, alcohol abuse and certain epilepsy syndromes.
Studies of age at death in SUDEP can be problematic because its definition requires negative findings at post mortem examination. Many elderly people have evidence of vascular disease and it is often difficult to exclude this as a cause of death. Most studies have found young adults as the group at higher risk. The age of onset of seizures is lower in people with epilepsy who died of SUDEP than in those dying of other causes.
SUDEP is usually unwitnessed but, when witnessed, often follows a convulsion. Evidence for a seizure prior to death is frequently, but not always, found at post mortem examination. Studies have found that most cases of SUDEP in whom the seizure type was known, had a history of convulsions. Many people dying of SUDEP are found in or near the bed. A recent study found that supervision at night appears to be protective.
Higher rates of SUDEP are found in studies of people with severe epilepsy, suggesting that people with frequent, severe seizures are most at risk. Some authors have suggested that seizure frequency is not a risk factor but a recent study found it to be the most significant risk factor.
There is conflicting evidence concerning the use of more than one AED as a risk factor. One study which showed increased risk associated with multiple AEDs suggested this may be because these people have more severe seizures, while another found the increased risk associated with more than two AEDs was still significant after adjusting for seizure frequency. Other studies have not found any association.
People have debated whether SUDEP is more likely in men than women, but a recent study found the rate of SUDEP to be identical in men and women.
Gail Bell & Ley Sander. Institute of Neurology, Queen Square, London, UK.
A systematic review was performed to provide evidence-based estimates about risk factors and incidence of SUDEP (Tellez-Zenteno, Ronquillo & Wiebe 2005). We searched Index Medicus, Medline, EMBASE, and the Cochrane database, for retrospective or prospective cohort and case-control English language studies exploring the risk factors and incidence of SUDEP in adults and children from 1966 to 2003. Of 83 potentially eligible articles 36 fulfilled eligibility criteria (29 cohort and 8 case-control studies). Salient findings follow:
Researchers do not use standard definitions of SUDEP. Standard definitions are essential for meaningful communication about clinical conditions. Some authors did not state a definition, some crafted their own, and others adhered to published definitions. A definition of SUDEP was explicit in 65% of studies, not clear in 29%, and not given in 6%. In many studies, the diagnosis of SUDEP was probable, not definite, because the most used definitions require post mortem data, and autopsies are performed infrequently in many settings. This suggests that the requirement of post mortem examination for a definitive SUDEP diagnosis may require revision. Specifically, how much certainty and precision does the post mortem examination add to the diagnosis of SUDEP?
The risk factors for SUDEP depend on the type of comparison. Studies exploring risk factors use one of two main comparison groups, i.e. non-SUDEP epilepsy deaths, and live people with epilepsy (PWE). Comparisons with non-SUDEP deaths explore best the circumstances surrounding death (e.g. seizures preceding death, place of death, AED levels at the time of death). Comparisons with live PWE explore best the lifestyle and clinical variables related to SUDEP (e.g. frequency of seizures, number of AEDs, use of other drugs). Therefore, the seemingly disparate risk factors found in these studies are really complementary.
High-risk and low-risk groups for SUDEP are identified. The risk of SUDEP is expressed as number of deaths per 1000 person-years. The risk is highest in studies of candidates for epilepsy surgery and epilepsy referral centres (2.2 to 10 per 1000), intermediate in studies including patients with mental retardation (3.4 to 3.6 per 1000), and lowest in children (0 to 0.2 per 1000). The incidence was similar in autopsy series (0.35 to 2.5 per 1000) and in studies of epilepsy patients in the general population (0 to 1.35 per 1000). PWE in the high-risk group typically suffer from more severe epilepsy, have frequent seizures, and require many AEDs. These factors are consistently associated with SUDEP (Langan & Nashef 2003; Lhatoo & Sander 2002; Stollberger & Finsterer 2004). The reasons for a lower risk in children require further investigation.
The contribution of SUDEP to overall mortality varies by risk group. As expected, in higher-risk groups SUDEP is a more frequent cause of death than in lower-risk groups. In studies of children, general population, epilepsy registers and autopsy series, SUDEP explained from 0 to 14% of deaths. In studies of epilepsy clinics, drug trials, epilepsy surgery or surgical candidates, and registers of patients with refractory epilepsy SUDEP explained from 29 to 75% of deaths.
Several aspects of SUDEP require further research. Prospective studies from seizure monitoring units could be fruitful. Standardisation of case ascertainment, definitions, and description of population sources is necessary to improve the analysis and interpretation of data. International panels could review the SUDEP definition and scientific journals could encourage researchers to adhere to standard definitions. Finally, researchers need to assess the impact that learning about SUDEP has on patients and their families, while exploring optimum risk communication and coping strategies for this infrequent but devastating event.
Jose F. Tllez-Zenteno and Samuel Wiebe. Department of Clinical Neurosciences, University of Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
Top of pageHow does SUDEP occur?People with epilepsy may die unexpectedly without a clear structural or pathological cause for death. We call this SUDEP. Often, but not always, there is evidence to suggest an epileptic seizure around the time of death. SUDEP is a category not a condition. It may represent more than one entity and different mechanisms may operate in different individuals. A final common pathway for death is cardiorespiratory compromise. Understanding mechanisms involved is necessary to formulating prevention strategies.
A number of studies suggest that SUDEP is largely a peri-ictal event. These include case-control studies and accounts of witnessed deaths and detailed circumstances of death. They also include incidence studies showing an association with less well controlled epilepsy, particularly where there is a history of generalised tonic clonic seizures.
Risk factors identified so far, however, only tell part of the story. Sometimes individuals with infrequent seizures die, while others with more frequent and apparently more severe seizures do not. Some may be more at risk because of social factors, lifestyle or sub-optimal management; others may have additional biological susceptibility.
Of particular interest are risk factors we can influence or prevent, such as tonic clonic seizures. One study also identified polytherapy and frequent treatment changes as independent risk factors. While these risk factors may still be surrogate markers for epilepsy severity, theoretically, both could make SUDEP more likely. Medication changes, prescribed or otherwise, particularly if abrupt, could result in instability, while (poly)therapy could, theoretically, affect post ictal respiratory depression and/or cardiac autonomic function. Of note, however, is that one study found untreated epilepsy to be a risk factor, with those who had never had drug therapy at increased risk.
Another consistent observation is that most deaths occur in bed, presumably from sleep. Again, are nocturnal seizures different pathophysiologically for example, associated with increased vagal tone or respiratory depression or is it simply that assistance is not to hand, as Delasiauve wrote a century and a half ago? There is some evidence to suggest that he was at least partly right. A study looking at position in death found 71% prone and only 4% supine. Another case control study showed decreased risk associated with using listening devices or sharing the room with someone capable of giving assistance. Respiratory compromise frequently occurs in more severe seizures. Central and obstructive apnoea, excess bronchial and oral secretions, pulmonary oedema and hypoxia are all well documented. That assistance in the community provides some protection favours a role for respiratory factors which, to some extent, can be influenced by relatively unskilled intervention such as airway protection, re-positioning or stimulation.
Primary or secondary cardiac mechanisms are also likely to be important. One can postulate a number of hypotheses, which are not mutually exclusive:
That malignant cardiac tachy/brady arrhythmias or cardiac failure occur secondary to the ictal discharge and/or apnoea/hypoxia. A study of long-term cardiac rhythm monitoring using an implanted device resulted in 4/19 patients with intractable epilepsy being paced because of recorded periods of asystole, thought to have occurred in a very small proportion of seizures reported.
That long-term cardiac changes secondary to uncontrolled epilepsy may occur. Pathological studies provide limited support for this.
That, theoretically, the same underlying process which causes epilepsy could predispose to sudden cardiac death in a proportion of people with epilepsy. For example, ion channel disorders are implicated in genetic epilepsies and in conditions predisposing to sudden cardiac death; many are co-expressed in heart and brain.
That some individuals with epilepsy may have a co-existing unrelated mild genetic susceptibility to sudden death, through cardiac conduction/ion channel disorders, which then manifests because of uncontrolled seizures. Advances in the studies of complex minor genetic susceptibility may further research into SUDEP.
Strategies to reduce SUDEP include focusing on seizure prevention, optimising medical and surgical management and assistance during seizures, aided by future advances in seizure prediction/detection. Further research into mechanisms exploring the above hypotheses may also lead to specific interventions. An analogy between SIDS and SUDEP is often drawn. Success in preventing some potential SIDS cases followed advice on optimal positioning of infants. More recently individual susceptibility in a small proportion of cases (SIDS genes which include channelopathies) is being addressed. How important these turn out to be remains to be seen. Many lessons can be learnt from the SIDS story.
Top of pageDoes SUDEP occur in children?
There has been much recent discussion as to whether SUDEP exists as an entity in children. Two epidemiological studies have suggested this to be rare; however, the National Sentinel Clinical Audit of Epilepsy-Related Deaths (Hanna, 2002) in the UK found a possible 81 children of 791 total deaths over a twelve month period, although only the records of 22 could be reviewed in full. Many of us involved with complex epilepsy are aware of this apparent phenomenon occurring in younger as well as older children within the clinic, albeit infrequently (personal experience of 2-3/year). Although, of course, it appears a much rarer occurrence to the general paediatrician.
Much focus has been placed on risk factors for SUDEP in adults the type of epilepsy has probably not been as relevant as continuing seizures. Studies have suggested that children with symptomatic epilepsy are at higher risk. A possible explanation of this higher risk is a relationship between epilepsy and an associated comorbidity, but it could equally relate to the reduced likelihood of seizure control. Emerging data suggests that it is ongoing seizures that may pose the greater risk. Children with a probable diagnosis of what are regarded as the more benign syndromes (e.g. benign epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes) have been reported as likely SUDEP. This supports an argument for treating such syndromes sooner rather than later, in view of their usually prompt response to anticonvulsant medication. It appears unlikely that children with only typical absence seizures are at risk.
A key question often posed by families and professionals, if a possible risk of SUDEP is discussed, is how do we prevent or guard against it. Of course this question is virtually impossible to answer with our current knowledge although ongoing generalised tonic clonic seizures do appear to be a risk factor. This would provide an argument for optimal seizure control, aiming for seizure freedom where possible, and emphasising the need for compliance with regular medication.
Often clinicians are reticent to discuss SUDEP with families, primarily because of concern about unknown risk factors, expressing the likelihood of risk, and being unable to give information of cause and how to prevent it. There is concern about frightening parents and children alike, which is probably more of an issue with the clinician than the families themselves. Often when a child first presents with a generalised tonic clonic seizure, a parent who has witnessed the event may already have experienced a feeling that they thought the child had died. Discussion of the possibility, and the apparent lower risk than is perceived, is often easier at the outset at time of diagnosis rather than when a child has been established on treatment. Discussion of such may also aid decision making as to whether treatment is warranted in the benign syndromes. Older children themselves may express the fear that they could die at any time they have a seizure. An explanation that the risk is actually low may alleviate rather than enhance anxiety in some individuals.
Expression of risk, in terms which are comprehensible to the family, carers and child may be difficult. This is a recurrent problem within medicine, particularly in a condition where treatment will involve discussions based on probabilities rather than hard fact. We can only be open with the facts we know, and explain to the best of our ability.

DENVER - The man accused of opening fire in a suburban Denver movie theater, killing 12 and injuring 58 others, withdrew his application from a Texas A&M graduate program just before he was scheduled for an on-campus interview.
The Denver Post reports the university released several documents Friday after an open records request. A&M was among a number of programs 24-year-old James Holmes, an aspiring neuroscience graduate student, applied to in early 2011 before enrolling at the University of Colorado at Denver.
Holmes' application contains much the same information he submitted to several other universities, including college grades and letters of recommendation.
The letters praised Holmes as an excellent student and impressed A&M faculty enough to invite him for an on-campus visit. Holmes turned down the offer March 1, 2011, saying he would be pursuing other interests.

"While no instrument can be all things to all people, I think Roger Sadowsky's Jim Hall Signature Archtop will 'resonate' with a wide range of players.
It is a beautifully constructed instrument with an extremely comfortable neck and fingerboard, a pristine tone, reliable electronics, and a modern aesthetic. It plays easily, and will lend itself effortlessly to a great many guitarists' styles. And any instrument which makes me feel a little closer to the masterJim Hallis a good thing!
Sadowsky's faithful signature-edition guitar is a fitting, and overdue, tribute to one of the greatest guitarists in an era of great guitarists."

Service Dog Week IS HERE!!!This week on Aywas, we're going to celebrate service dogs! Service dogs are extremely important and we feel like they need a little spotlight to show how awesome they are. Service Dog Information The first thing we'd like to shine light on is US regulations about service dogs. Since 90% of our community is from the United States, this is great information for the majority of you. Here's a link to the official ADA Frequently Asked Questions about Service Dogs! Some important information to note: 1. Service dogs do not need to be registered, nor do they need identification. Any US database for service dogs that charges handlers to register is a scam! 2. People with disabilities have the right to train their own dog as a service dog. They are not required to get a professionally trained dog. 3. Service dogs are permitted ANYWHERE the public is allowed. Staff are only allowed to ask two questions of a handler: 1) Is this a service dog required because of a disability?, 2) What work or task has the dog been trained to perform? 4. Staff cannot request identification for the dog, ask about the handler's disability, or ask that the dog demonstrate its trained task. The dog does not need an ID card, a special vest, or any special harness, though many service dogs do wear vests. 5. If you see a service dog, do not pet or distract the dog in any way! Many service dogs are required to focus on their handler to ensure their handler remains safe. You can politely ask the handler if you can pet the dog, but respect their answer if it's a "NO." Service Dogs vs. Emotional Support Dogs and Therapy Dogs Curious about the difference between service dogs and emotional support and therapy dogs? Check out this resource to learn more Click here! Want to learn more about service dogs, or where to get your own service dog? Check out the links below! Please Don't Pet Me Assistance Dogs International Canine Companions for Independence Paws with a Cause Service Dog Central One of our administrators speaks very highly of their favorite service dog charity, Educated Canines Assisting with Disabilities (ECAD). This is a 501(c)(3) charity that we're excited to donate to during Service Dog Week! For the duration of Service Dog Week (7/26 - 8/2), we will be donating 10% of our income from the USD Shop and GP Purchases to this suggested charity. We've been told by our admin that they really need the money right now due to surgery on one of their animals, and we definitely want to help. On August 2nd, the last day of Service Dog Week, we will be running the Mystery Box. Consider this a head's up! So let's get into what we have available for Service Dog Week! Golden Retriever Service Dog | Labrador Service Dog These are Service Dog Vests and what you'll need to collect to make the Service Dog SCCs shown above. If you collect fifteen Service Dog Vests, you can trade them in for one "metal" custom maker for one of the SCCs. These metal custom makers are currently stocking in the Event Shop. These are used to make metal (coloring only, no edits) Service Dog SCCs. So how do you get Service Dog Vests? Good question! The Trivia this week (7/26 - 8/2) has ten service dog related questions for you to answer, and for every one you get correct, you get one vest! You can also write about your experiences with Service Dogs to earn one vest per 100 words you write, or you can color Service Dog SCCs for others to earn additional vests! If you are interested in edited Service Dog SCCs, then head to the USD Shop to pick up some blue custom makers (50% edited) there for $5.00 each. These makers will be available until August 2nd 11:59 PM. All custom makers will be usable until August 31st, at which point they will be made into special collectibles. So! As a recap: - 10% of our income is going to our selected charity from 7/26 - 8/2 - Pick up Metal Service Dog items in the Event shop until 8/2, 11:59 PM - Pick up Blue Service Dog items in the USD shop until 8/2, 11:59 PM - The Mystery Box will open on 8/2 (so technically 11:59 PM of 8/1 to 11:59 PM of 8/2) - All four custom makers will be functioning until 8/31 11:59 PM - The Trivia will be available to earn vests until 8/2 11:59 PM - The Coloring Thread and Experiences thread will be open until 8/2 11:59 PM Enjoy Service Dog Week!
From the item creator: "So often, we hear phrases like "sinking into a depression" or "drowning in self-loathing". These things sound so bleak and horrible, but they don't have to be. While you may never know how much someone might need, you also never know how much of a difference the smallest gestures can make. Sometimes, the smallest bit of kindness can be all it takes to keep someone from drifting off. To anyone who has ever helped someone through a hard time, no matter how big or small, what you do is invaluable. For anyone who is having a difficult time, no matter how major or minor, there will always be someone who cares. Be patient, be strong, and always keep an eye out for the bright shiny thing on the horizon." This lovely collectors item will be available in Trash for Treasure until the 24th August =)

With the arrival of television as the dominant medium, it seemed like 'video killed the radio star' - until internet radio, that is...
The 1979 hit song "Video Killed the Radio Star" by the Brit New Wave group The Buggles tells the listeners about the end of an era. With the emergence of music videos, radio began losing its listeners, as they flocked to follow and enjoy the music from their favorite artists in a completely different format. But as the Internet took over to become the most dominant media format of the present day, radio gained some of its popularity back in the form of Internet radio. As the number of households with Internet connection increased, the possibilities for radio resurgence widened. Internet radio stations are now able to broadcast to a wider audience, without the need for new transmission towers.
But your favorite music is not the only thing that you get from Internet radio. Here are some of the things that you can surely appreciate when you're tuned in to the radio via the web.
Background music to boost your productivity
One of the main reasons why we go online is to work, and since we're expected to be working at around 40 hours per week, you'll probably spend the same amount of time online. Focusing on just one task at a time is already a thing of the past, and multitasking is now the industry standard. When you're juggling between different pages and spread sheets of unfinished work, you need something to keep you going. The rhythm of background music sets your pace, so playing your favourite songs can potentially boost your productivity. With the Internet right at your fingertips, you don't have to worry about buying the songs that you want to hear. You can play songs directly from your browser if you are subscribed to an Internet radio service.
You don't need an actual radio
The music from the Internet radio is streamed online, so you don't need new equipment just to play it. If your computer has built-in speakers or you have a decent set of earphones, you are good to go. By eliminating the actual radio unit, you save on space and electricity. All you need is your computer, and of course, a stable Internet connection. Now, if you want to enjoy high quality music, you can just upgrade your speakers and go with a 3-channel or 5-channel set. This bring you a whole host of flexible and customizable features that you won't really find in an old-school radio.
Take full control over what you listen to
The typical radio usually allows listeners to set 12 to 14 stations on quick-access memory. On the other hand, Internet radio gives you access to thousands of stations, usually segregated based on the genre of music that it plays. You don't need to hear music that you don't like, because the typical Internet radio station usually plays music from a certain era, a certain group of artists, or a certain type of music. You can also create a playlist, so that you'll only listen to specific songs from specific artists. Jumping from one station to another is as easy as a click of the mouse; you never have to look for that sweet spot between each frequency just to get a good radio signal ever again.

"We've already influenced this race in a very dramatic way," the group's chairman, Andrew Hemingway, told the New Hampshire Union-Leader, before Saturday's vote.
Meanwhile, Kimball's victory may bring the Tea Party a newfound sense of organization in the state.
"Kimball's victory is kind of a signature in the sense that before it was this loose alliance of different groups," said Scala. "This is arguably their first big achievement in terms of getting together and getting someone elected to an office."
While Kimball's defeat of the establishment backed Bergeron is another impressive feat for the Tea Party, it is worth keeping in mind that he won among an extremely limited group of individuals totaling less than 500.
"I wouldn't read too much into the results of the chairman's race to see how the primary is going to go," said Ryan Williams, a former spokesperson with the state party. "The chairman's race was 400 or so activists and Jack was well known amongst them."
Williams announced he was leaving the party Monday morning and said he was planning to leave regardless of the outcome of the chairman's race.
There are other factors working against conservative presidential candidates in New Hampshire. Independents can participate in the GOP primary, and turnout is likely to be higher in 2012 primary than it was in 2010 because it's a presidential election. Higher turnout - and more independents -- tend to favor more moderate candidates.
Still, the optics of the recent success of the Tea Party in New Hampshire may entice more conservative presidential candidates to make a bigger play this cycle than they normally would in the traditionally independent state.
"Conservative Republicans running for the 2012 nomination may think they have more of a chance than they might have before now," Scala said. "So this would be a wake-up call of sorts."
Kimball's victory also came at the same meeting where former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney (R), who is not supported by Tea Party groups, won a presidential straw poll -- illustrating the difficulty of trying to make a blanket characterization of the political climate in the Granite State.

The Safety, Health & Welfare at Work Act 2005 applies to employers and employees in all places of employment including the self-employed. The 2005 Act repealed and replaced its 1989 predecessor. The 2005 Act puts greater emphasis on the importance of hazard identification and risk assessment and is aimed at a preventative approach to reducing accidents and ill health at work. The Act is organised into 8 parts. The most relevant parts are reproduced in this handbook.
The 1989 Act extended health and safety legislation to cover all places of work from the largest companies with thousands of employees to the single self employed person. In 1989 schools and colleges were covered by safety legislation for the first time. From a legislative point of view a school is a work place like any other and the same standards of hazard identification and protective measures must be applied in order to ensure the safety and welfare of all school employees.
The safety of the students who attend our schools is of the utmost importance however the main concern of the Act is the health and safety of employees. It is clear that a school which is concerned about the safety of its employees and in which an overall culture of safety exists, will be a safe school for students.
It is the duty of all employers to ensure that their employees can carry out there contracted duties in safety. In schools this responsibility rests with the Board of Management. This employer/employee relationship and responsibility is complicated by the fact that most schools are very dependant on the support of the Department of Education & Science in the provision of safe and secure school buildings and facilities. However it is the Board of Management that carries the legal duty of care for school employees and it is the Boards responsibility to ensure that high standards and best practice are applied to all aspects of safety.
The 1989 and 2005 Acts brought schools within the scope of safety legislation and in that they are the same as all workplaces. However the risks and hazards that exist in schools are different to other places of work. Teachers and school employees, like employees generally, face standard workplace risks such as trips and slips, fire hazards, manual handling and other physical dangers. However the more common occupational hazards for teachers are in the realm of occupational illnesses such as result from high levels of stress or pressure of work. Teachers exhibit higher levels of stress related medical conditions that are found in workplaces generally resulting in depression, anxiety and other psychological and physical illnesses. In this light workplace safety and hazard identification for schools must give due regard to the exact nature of workplace illnesses and injuries that teachers are likely to experience.
It is the duty of every employer to ensure, as far as is reasonably practicable, the safety, health and welfare at work of all his/her employees. This duty applies:
There is also a duty on every employer to conduct his/her undertaking in such a way as to ensure that persons not in his/her employment who may be affected are not exposed to risks.
It is the duty of every employee while at work:

Movie Review: Star Trek
Read the Star Trek review courtesy of Jay Stone of canada.com
J.J. Abrams' re-invention of the venerable sci-fi saga presents the origins of Kirk (Chris Pine), Spock (Zachary Quinto) and the rest of a familiar cast. It's a nice, unpretentious adventure that will delight the fans. Even those who know nothing about the franchise except the phrase "Beam me up, Scotty" may find themselves turning into late-stage Trekkies.
Starring: Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Eric Bana, Bruce Greenwood, Simon Pegg
Rating: four stars out of five
People who enjoy science fiction say that it helps illuminate the human condition, to which I reply: If you want to illuminate the human condition, turn on the light in the bedroom.
I'm not sure what we're supposed to have learned, for instance, from all the "I'm your father, Luke" business in Star Wars. Except that if you go into dad's line of work, you're going to want to kill him sometimes, and if you wanted to know that, you could just have asked anyone in a family business.
Which is another reason to enjoy Star Trek, a movie version of the venerable sci-fi saga that touches on several universal themes — fathers and sons, sons and mothers, Romulans and Vulcans — without getting all illuminate-the-human-condition about it.
I'm not sure how faithful it is to the many Star Trek movies and TV shows that preceded it, because I've never seen one: everything I know about Star Trek ("Live long and prosper," and "Phasers on stun") I picked up vicariously from the cultural ozone.
When the engineer named Scotty (Simon Pegg) says, "I'm giving it all she's got, captain," the resulting audience laughter lets you know that this is another Trekkie phrase, cheered for its familiarity.
Star Trek is very much like that, but even for us newcomers — people who have been living under rocks, as opposed to those who have been living in their parents' basements — it's nevertheless an adventure with lots of high technology, high spirits and a low sense of self-importance. There are no papier-mache rocks falling on Captain Kirk, but there's enough papier-mache dialogue to ensure he's in constant, if cartoonish, peril.
The movie begins with a Superman-like origins story: a father on a dying planet (or in this case, a crashing vessel) sends his only son to Earth to become the hellraising Capt. James T. Kirk (Chris Pine, winner of the Christian Slater sound-alike contest), who is on his way to becoming the Capt. Kirk we know and love. Pine is no William Shatner, but give him 40 years and a few good meals, and he might make it.
We also learn about the origins of Spock (Zachary Quinto from Heroes), a half-Vulcan, half-human whom we meet reciting things like "four-thirds pi times radius cubed," an early sign of his logic-based genius. Spock, who does things with his eyebrows that we haven't seen since Theda Bara went into retirement, will grow up to be Leonard Nimoy, who makes a featured appearance in the film — much cheering and laughter — as his future self.
This is the sort of thing that could drive more ambitious space movies to a doctoral thesis on the time-space continuum, but in Star Trek, it's just another wacky bit of interstellar life: phasers on fun!
The plot has Kirk stowing away on the USS Enterprise, captained by Bruce Greenwood, as it speeds into space and a confrontation with a long, stringy spaceship under the control of Nero (Eric Bana), a Romulan with facial tattoos and a murderous disposition: he looks like someone who got lost on the way to Mad Max.
Nero is out to get Spock because of something he did to Romulus, or maybe it was Remus. In any event, he's set on blowing up planets by pouring "the red matter" into their cores, creating a black hole.
There are several large explosions and lots of fights on narrow platforms that have no railings — the cosmos is not a friendly place for older people — and a nice turn by Pegg, who brings a comic sensibility that pulls Trek a degree or two toward self-parody, although not too far (the formula, I believe, is four-thirds pi times radius cubed.)
Every time I see one of these space epics, I'm reminded of the Mel Brooks plan to do a satire that would be called Intergalactic Mishigas. There's a bit of that in Star Trek, but not too much: director J.J. Abrams has found a balance between excitement and knowingness. Beam me up, Scotty, and give it all she's got.
