Confederation College has partnered with Northern College to bring the Haileybury School of Mines Mining Engineering Technician Program to Thunder Bay.
Graduates of Confederation's Mining Techniques certificate program will be able to enter the third semester of the HSM Mining Engineering Technician diploma program at Confederation College. Confederation College said the arrangement stems from a memorandum of understanding signed earlier this year involving six colleges in northern Ontario.
"As exploration activities surge in northwestern Ontario, mining is quickly becoming a dominant economic driver. In order to meet the future workforce requirements of the rapidly growing mining sector, Northern and Confederation explored the possibility of making the HSM Mining Engineering Technician diploma program available in the region," said Fred Gibbons, President of Northern College in a press release.
"The mining sector is among the highest paying sectors of the economy. We are pleased to be able to support people locally to enter this sector as demand for workers in the mining industry is on the rise," said Jim Madder, President of Confederation College, in the release.
The Mining Industry Human Resources Council estimates that the industry will need more than 6,700 workers in northwestern Ontario over the next ten years.

Plymouth Royal Marines and sailors could be sent to protect borders in Ukraine
Posted: March 01, 2014|
A treaty signed by Britain in the 90s could see Plymouth sailors and Royal Marines sent to protect the Ukraine if Russian troops invade the country.
The leaders of the USA, UK, Russia and Ukraine signed up to The Budapest Memorandum as the former Soviet Union collapsed.
The document signed by John Major says the UK will protect Ukrainian borders in the event of an invasion.
It was designed to encourage the Ukraine to decommission nuclear weapons.
Reports suggest Russia is moving up to 2,000 troops across the Black Sea from Novorossiysk to their fleet base at Sevastopol.
Former British Ambassador to Moscow Sir Tony Brenton, who served as British Ambassador from 2004 to 2008, said in an interview that war could be an option "if we do conclude the [Budapest] Memorandum is legally binding."
Kiev has demanded the agreement is activated after insisting their borders had been violated.
Mr Brenton told the BBC: "If indeed this is a Russian invasion of Crimea and if we do conclude the [Budapest] Memorandum is legally binding then it's very difficult to avoid the conclusion that we're going to go to war with Russia."
Barry Kellman, a professor of law and director of the International Weapons Control Center at DePaul University's College of Law, told Radio Free Europe: "It is binding in international law, but that doesn't mean it has any means of enforcement."
Ukraine's internal conflict has seen President Viktor Yanukovych flee the country after three months of anti-government protests.
Unidentified gunmen have tried to 'seize' the airports in the Crimean cities of Simferopol and Sevastopol.
Ukraine's State Border Guard Service says 30 Russian marines from Russia's Black Sea Fleet have taken up position outside the Ukrainian Coast Guard base in the area.
Moscow has pledged to respect Ukraine's territorial integrity.

Jesus didn't come to earth
With a great treatise
Instead He took a little child
And humbly sat him on his knees
'Unless you become
Like such as these-
My kingdom you won't see!
Those born of my spirit
Are to be like the breeze
They simply- just believe
Oh ye of little faith-
Consider the lilies of the field
How they grow- all beautiful
And radiantly dressed
They did not toil or spin-
Yet Solomon in all his glory
Was never so beautifully arrayed
And in his wisdom
He could only cry-
'This is what I have found-
Fear God – and keep His commandments-
For this is the whole duty of man'
Jesus says- seek first God's kingdom,
and his righteousness; Then all these things
shall be added unto you.
Mathew 6:29 to 34

1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to the field of a network of differential optical-fiber sensors for use as vector gradiometers.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Optical-fiber sensors are used in many applications such as in measurement of the pressure field in a marine environment, due to an acoustic wavefield propagating through the water. As is well known, if an optical fiber is exposed to a pressure field, changing pressures change certain physical characteristics such as the length and index of refraction of that fiber. If a beam of continuous-wave coherent electromagnetic radiation preferably optical is launched equally into two fibers and if one of those fibers is exposed to a transient pressure field, a relative phase shift will occur between the wave forms of the two beams. The phase shift is a measure of the variations of the transient pressure field. When the two radiation beams emerging from the two fibers are combined, a variable-intensity interference pattern results. A photodetector, probing the interference pattern, will see variations of light intensity or amplitude proportional to variations in phase shift between the beams, which is, in turn, a measure of the variations in the transient pressure field.
The change in the physical characteristics of the fiber is small per unit length of fiber. Hence a large length of the fiber is wound into a compact coil. A fiber length of 50 to 100 meters per coil is not uncommon. An additional advantage of use of a coil rather than an elongated fiber is that the local pressure field effectively acts on a point receiver rather than on a distributive sensor.
Examples of typical optical-fiber differential sensors are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,162,397 to Bucaro et al, and U.S. Pat. No. 4,320,475 to Leclerk et al.
The two-legged differential sensors above discussed are useful for many applications where scalar quantities are involved. They do not lend themselves to arrays of differential sensors for measuring vector gradients in two or three dimensions. One version of a gradiometer-type sensor array is disclosed U.S. Pat. No. 4,547,869, assigned to the assignee of this invention. However, the mechanization of that patent is substantially different from the invention disclosed herein.
It is an object of this invention to provide a multi-legged optical-fiber gradiometer that is economical of components and that will provide both relative and absolute vector-gradient measurements.
In accordance with one embodiment of this invention a source of radiation emits a radiant pulse having a preselected pulse width and unit output power. A single-input, multiple-output directional coupler distributes preselected fractions of the unit output power into at least three optical-fiber sensing coils. Radiant pulses emerge from each of the three sensing coils. Each emerging pulse is incrementally delayed, in sequence, with respect to a reference delay, by a delay time equal to an integral multiple of a preselected fraction of the pulse width, such that the trailing edge of one radiant pulse overlaps the leading edge of the next pulse and so on. The delayed pulses are recombined to create a sequence of interference patterns that are probed by a photodetector. The relative radiant intensity of the several interference patterns is a measure of the relative phase shift between any two sensors, taken in all combinations. From those data, a measure may be derived of the gradient of the measured quantity relative to the three sensors.
In accordance with another embodiment of this invention, a fourth protected sensor branch may be added to serve as an absolute reference.
The benefits and advantages of my invention will be better understood by reference to the detailed description and the drawings wherein:
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a two-legged differential sensor typical of the prior art;
FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a three-legged gradient sensor that is built up of three differential two-legged sensors of the type shown in FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a modification of FIG. 2 that is more economical of certain opto-electronic parts;
FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of the configuration of a preferred embodiment of this invention;
FIG. 5 is a timing diagram corresponding to the configuration of FIG. 4;
FIG. 6 is the same as FIG. 4 except for the addition of a reference sensor; and
FIG. 7 is a timing diagram for FIG. 6.
Referring now to FIG. 1, I show a typical prior-art, two-legged differential sensor employing an interferometric design. The active elements 10 and 12 are optical-fiber coils. The complete device consists of a source of radiation 14, a source fiber 16, a directional coupler 18 for dividing a radiation beam into two equal parts, the two optical-fiber sensors 10 and 12, a directional coupler 20 for receiving and recombining modulated radiation beams from sensors 10 and 12, an exit fiber 22, and a photodetector 24. When the modulated beams are recombined, they create a pattern of interference fringes. The photodetector 24 probes and quantitatively detects the interference pattern by measuring the light intensity which is a measure of the phase difference of the radiation beams caused by the gradient of the parameter being sensed between the sensors 10 and 12. Commonly, sensor 12 is shielded from the parameter-field under measurement to act as a reference fiber so that absolute measurement can be made.
A gradient sensor can be built up from three two-legged differential sensors as shown in FIG. 2. In this configuration, sensor points A, B, and C measure the differences between A and B, B and C, and A and C. The unit requires three conventional two-legged interferometers which have legs A1-B1, B2-C2 and C3-A3. Legs A1 and A3 are collocated as are B1, B2 and C2, C3.
That design is extravagant of components, requiring seven directional couplers-recombiners, six sensors, and three photodetectors. Furthermore, the design may not be practical in all cases because first, it may not be possible to collocate the optical fiber sensors sufficiently closely and second, those sensors which have been collocated may not be sufficiently matched in terms of response.
A somewhat more compact design is shown in FIG. 3. This design uses a pulsed radiation source. The pulse width is of short duration in comparison to the time required to transit through a sensor leg. The radiation energy (intensity) is equally divided by 1ū3 coupler 26 into sensors A, B, C. The parameter-modulated output pulses emanating from sensors A and B are combined at directional combiner 28; B and C are combined at combiner 30; and A and C are combined at combiner 32. Delay lines D0, D1 and D2, are inserted after the combiners 28, 30, and 32. The incremental delay time between the delay lines is greater than the radiation pulse-width. The delay lines must be shielded from pressure and other disturbances which might make the delay times vary excessively. The delay-line outputs are directed to photodetector 34 through 3ū1 combiner 36. Because of the incremental delays imposed upon the output-pulse interference patterns, photodetector 34 will see the separate outputs of the respective sensors in sequential order. In this design, the number of sensors has been reduced to three, two photodetectors have been eliminated but one extra directional coupler has been added.
It is not necessary to keep the output pulses entirely separated in time as in the configuration of FIG. 3. Hence, a configuration that is more penurious of components is shown in FIGS. 4 and 5. Radiation source 38, which may be a Helium/Neon laser having a long coherence length, operating at a wave length of 632.8 nanometers (nm), is provided. A means (not shown), such as a Pockles cell, chops the beam of radiation emanating from source 38 into pulses having a width of, for example, 100 nanoseconds (ns) at a desired pulse repetition frequency. The pulse repetition frequency is not critical but the pulse separation time should be greater than the transit time of a pulse through any leg of the interferometer assembly, which includes a plurality of optical-fiber sensors A, B, C that are optically coupled in parallel.
In FIG. 4, source 38 feeds a radiation pulse to 1ū3 directional coupler 40. Considering the input radiation intensity to coupler 40 to be 100%, 50% is directed into branch A and 25% is directed into each of branches B and C. That is, preselected fractions of the total energy are distributed to the three branches. The modulated output from branch A is evenly divided by coupler 42 between sub-branches A1 and A2. The output intensity is thus evenly divided.
Delay lines (Di) are inserted into the four branches having delays Di as follows:
The incremental delay D between any two Di is a preselected fraction of the pulse width. Thus, the time delay associated with any one sensor is different from the time delay associated with any other sensor by an integral multiple of the incremental delay ΔD. DO is a base or reference delay time which may preferably be near zero. Given a pulse width of 100 ns, ΔD may be 70 ns. There would thus be an overlap of 30 ns between any two successive pulses. The overlap must be at least as long as the response time of a photodetector such as 44. For a 30 ns overlap the photodetector should have a bandwidth of better than 35 MHz. One source of a suitable photodetector is EGG Electro Optics Co. of Salem, Mass. The incrementally-delayed, overlapping pulses are recombined in multiple-input, single-output directional recombiner 46 whence the pulse interference patterns propagate to photodetector 44 for analysis.
Referring to FIG. 5, pulse A1 enters recombiner 46 as shown diagramatically in the Figure. Seventy ns later the leading edge 48 of pulse B enters recombiner 46 while the trailing portion 50 of A1 is still resident therein. The overlapping portions of radiation pulses A1 and B interfere to produce a desired interference pattern that will be probed by photodetector 44. The above process continues for radiant pulses B and C, and C and A2. The output of photodetector 44 is then a sequence of electrical signals which are a function of the intensity level due to interference between modulated radiant pulses A-B, B-C, C-A. The sequence of electrical signals may be vectorially combined by a means 60 such as a micro processor, to derive the vector gradient of the quantity measured.
The interferometer configuration of FIG. 4 provides relative gradient measurements of a selected quantity. If an absolute measurement is desired, it is a simple matter to add an extra parallel branch including a shielded reference sensor as shown in FIG. 6. FIG. 7 is the corresponding timing diagram. The division of the radiant energy is as shown in FIG. 6, viz. 20% to each of the five lines A1, A2, B, C and REF. Single-input, multiple-output (and the reverse) directional couplers such as 52, 54 are available, at least on an experimental basis, from the Fiber Optics Division of Allied Amphenol Co. A suitable means 61, such as a micro processor, for resolving the vector gradient is also provided.
So far, I have discussed the basic interferometer unit for use as in vector gradient measurements at a single point in space. A plurality of such units could be employed in conjunction with a distributed measurement system such as in telemetry, communications, or marine geophysical exploration. In a distributed system, although not, per se, a part of this invention, the radiation source 38 and photodetector 44 might conveniently be located at a central data-processing laboratory. The measurement interferometric units such as 39 are interconnected with the central laboratory by an optical fiber trunk line. The output data are then multiplexed from the respective interferometric units through the trunk line and back to the central laboratory. One such multiplexed system is taught in U.S. Pat. No. 4,302,835 to McMahon.
This invention has been described with a certain specificity by way of example but not by way of limitation. My invention is limited only by the appended claims. For example, earlier in this specification, ambient pressure was mentioned as a measurable quantity. Other quantities such as temperature or strain could be measured similarly.

Webuyyourkids is design duo Sonny Day & Biddy Maroney from Sydney. They started working together in 2006, making screen-printed posters for bands and have since branched out into all kinds of stuff from CD artwork to identity design and installations, illustrations and all kinds of other interesting projects.
Their work is reminiscent of that children's book that you were both in love with and absolutely terrified of when you were young; it has a dark, shadow-y noir vibe with smatterings of what the voiceover before late-night SBS movies refers to as 'Supernatural Themes'… but all in the most playful way!
Closely aligned with the Pop Frenzy record label, over the years they've designed artwork for artists as diverse as Xiu Xiu, Weird War, The Drones, The Sea and Cake, Youth Group and plenty of other great bands. Recently they've started to branch out into motion design and completed a clip for former Something for Kate front-man Paul Dempsey in his solo guise.
In our humble opinion, they're doing some of the most interesting work around and they'll be speaking at the agIdeas conference in Melbourne later on this month (haven't got your ticket yet? get in quick!) but for now, we've asked them to choose their Top 5 Favourite Magazines for the latest in this on-going feature…
1. The Face
Both Biddy and I collected this magazine religiously, separately, before we met, in the 90s.
I was just such a good read, full of all this exciting stuff from across the pond; strange bands, clubs, amazing art and fashion. It was a bit of fantasy. I think that we both were really bummed to find that it had shut down and maybe a tad guilty as we hadnt bought it for a while towards the end.
We also got exposed to some of our favorite illustrators like Jasper Goodall, James Jarvis, Will Sweeney and many more. There is a particular issue with Edward Norton on the cover that was incredibly inspiring to Biddy – it covered a bunch of "new" animators who worked out of their bedrooms on found computers and cheap software making amazing things – including Shynola and Pete Fowler.
2. Big Brother
This magazine was amazing!
It was a skateboard magazine started by a gentleman called Steve Rocco, who in the early 90′s was in the middle of shaking up skateboarding and taking it back to its rebellious roots with his skateboard company World Industries. Long story short… World Industries ran ads in other skate mags that pissed a lot of people with their content and the magazines would often refuse to run said ads.
So the man went and started his own magazine. It was full of articles about hi-jinx, sex, drugs and skateboarding.
Big Brother was sold to to Larry Flynt of Hustler fame who ironically toned down all the things the magazine was reknowned for. Sadly it ceased publication on 2004.
Since BB's demise, now reading…. Thrasher
3. Hypno
Hypno was again from the 90s and again now out of print. Biddy used to buy Hypno with her last dollars when she went to uni in Canberra. It seemed to be equal parts music and art, and the excitement of reading particular articles still remains in her memory.
There was a feature on Margaret and Walter Keane and their Keane-eyed-art courtroom showdown that was mindblowing at the time. And another article on Jon Spencer that was the first knowledge of the man and incited a keen desire to go out and find his music. It was reeeeeeeaaallly ugly – jammed full of lime green crud fonts and everything else.
The artwork featured was amazing but it was all slapped together and lary… and exciting.
Since Hypno's demise, now reading…. Juxtapoz
4. Relax
This was such a awesome magazine, seeming like a Japanese version of The Face. Actually I dont know, cos I cant read Japanese.
But it was one the reasons Japan was at the top of my list of places to travel and when I got the chance to go there last year it was everything and more than I was imagining. Thanks Relax!
Also each issue had an illustration by James Jarvis. Bonus!
We have every issue of Monster Children. It's well designed, well written with some amazing artwork featured in every issue. When it first started it was exciting because it was the only local magazine we knew covering both Australian and International artists from a skate background.
We were very honoured to be featured in the mag a few years ago. And get our ugly mugs on the cover!
I'm glad it comes out a bit more frequently these days and is going strong.

This handsome, dependable actor has achieved that television rarity – starring on two very different and equally popular TV series – first as older brother and patriarch Charlie to the orphaned Salinger clan on Fox's family drama "Party of Five" (1994-2000), and a decade later, as cool-under-pressure Dr. Jack Shephard, one of several marooned plane crash survivors on ABC's adventure drama "Lost (2004 – ). On both shows, Fox exuded a natural calm and confidence whenever chaos loomed, bringing the former model-turned-actor a loyal fan base of women smitten with his scruffy looks and men impressed by his take-charge attitude.
Born on July 14, 1966 to parents Loretta and Francis Fox in Crowheart, WY, Fox was the middle of three brothers growing up on the family's long-horn cattle ranch. Ever the cowboy, Fox was in the saddle by age six. He attended Wind River High School before attending Deerfield Academy in Massachusetts for a post-grad year. After receiving a football scholarship from Columbia University, he balanced playing football with earning a degree in economics, graduating in 1988 with dreams of Wall Street.
His careers plans shifted dramatically when a girlfriend's mother, who happened to be a modeling agent, suggested the 6'2" hunk try his hand at modeling instead of trading stocks. Fox landed a few commercials, but turned to acting as his new career-of-choice, studying for two years at The School for Film and Television in NYC.
The young actor landed his first TV role on an episode of "Wings" (NBC, 1990-97) in 1992, but made his debut as a featured player that same year, playing Danny Foley on the short-lived "Freshman Dorm" (CBS, 1992) – a dramatic series focusing on the trials and tribulations of six students entering college in Southern California. For a relative newcomer, Fox continued to find steady work both on the big and small screen, starring in the CBS Schoolbreak Special "If I Die Before I Wake" (1993) before debuting in his first feature film, the teen comedy "My Boyfriend's Back" (1993).
Then, he hit the big time. Fox landed the enviable role of oldest brother of five siblings orphaned by the sudden death of both parents in a car accident on "Party of Five" (Fox, 1994-2000). More grounded in reality than the network's other teen dramas of the time – "Beverly Hills 90210" (1990-2000) and "Melrose Place" (1992-99) – the series struck a chord in viewers and joined the other two teen dramas to form the network's appointment television trifecta. Fox brought warmth and empathy to his Charlie Salinger, a man torn between his need for freedom and his obligation to take care of his younger siblings.
During the "Party" years, Fox and co-star Scott Wolfe set many hearts aflutter – appearing on teen magazines and posters in many a young girls' room. People Magazine even named Fox (nickname: "Foxy") as one of the "50 Most Beautiful People in the World" in 1996. The grateful actor was so devoted to his hit show, he eschewed feature film offers while working on the series, but did earn strong notices for his work playing a mentally handicapped man opposite Donald Sutherland in the 1999 CBS TV movie "Behind the Mask."
"Party" wrapped in 2000, leaving Fox to try for another series. He landed the role of Frank Taylor on the horror drama series "The Haunted" (UPN, 2002) but that proved short-lived.
By the time ABC began casting their risky new adventure/supernatural/drama "Lost," Fox was ready again for a quality part in a good series. The mandatory move to Hawaii didn't sound bad either. He originally auditioned for the role of Sawyer, but co-creator J.J. Abrams was so impressed with Fox's reading of the commanding lead hero, Dr. Jack Shepard, that he allowed the actor to read the entire top-secret script, but kept running in and out of the room every 20 minutes asking Fox what thought of it. Abram's trust in this particular auditioning actor told him he probably had the part.
After moving his family to the island of Oahu where the show was shot, Fox quickly bonded with the multi-cultural cast of actors who were all thrown together to shoot an $11 million-plus pilot that defied description. The first episode featured a violent plane crash, marooning the lucky survivors on a mysterious and seemingly deserted island. Despite their many personality clashes and personal frustrations, the group learned to bond together for survival, with Jack Shepard the glue that held them all together.
"Lost" premiered Sept. 22, 2004 to stellar ratings, becoming, along with "Desperate Housewives," welcome double-whammy hits for the heretofore ailing network. Fans got hooked and hooked hard. Theories abounded , a la "Twin Peaks"/"X-Files" and all were water cooler fodder the next day – Were the survivors really dead? In purgatory? Trapped in another dimension? And what was up with the little kid talking backwards? Half the appeal of the monster hit show was figuring out exactly what was going on down on Danger Island.
As the group leader and one of the best known cast members, Fox reaped a lot of press – the most he had received since his "Party" days – appearing on the covers of Entertainment Weekly and GQ. He received industry recognition for his role, including 2005 Saturn and 2006 Golden Globe Award nominations for "Best Actor in a Drama." Fox won a Golden Satellite Award in 2005 and shared the 2006 Screen Actors Guild Award for "Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series."
When not shooting the demanding hit, good guy Fox showed his good will toward "Lost" cast and crew by throwing viewer parties at his home every Sunday night and gifting these same folks with a special memento photo album of pictures he took during the shooting of the pilot. These same pictures were deemed good enough for inclusion on the first season DVD – not surprisingly, a blockbuster bestseller as well.

Starting a Baking Business – Getting Started Guide For Newbies
Do you have a forte for creating cookies, cakes and pies? Do you have some favorite secret recipes in your arsenal of baked goods? If you are thinking about earning some extra money, maybe you should think about starting a baking business.
If you are good at cake decorating, consider that character cakes are always in demand particularly for children's birthday parties. You have to make sure that you have enough cake pans for your enterprise as well as a cake decorating kit with the proper attachments.
When you start offering your baking services, you have to think about how you are going to advertise it. You could put an ad in your local newspaper. If you live in a neighborhood that has lots of children, you could also think about designing a door hanger and taking it to the printer. Then you could simply go door to door hanging your door hangers advertising your new business. As an incentive, give a 10% discount off of your new clients' first order.
Another good place to advertise when starting out is at a church bazaar. At these bazaars there is usually a cake walk booth. You could donate a few of your cakes and attach your business card. Offer a 10% referral bonus to everyone who refers a new client to your bakery.
Do not let your talents go to waste. Setting up a baking enterprise could generate quite a bit of extra money for you. It could also mean a step up from doing birthday cakes to tackling wedding cakes. That's where the real money is!

Revisiting History: North Korea and Nuclear Weapons
November 03, 2010 // 4:00pm — 5:15pm
For most American observers, the North Korea (DPRK) nuclear issue begins in the late 1980s and early 1990s, as leaders in Pyongyang, faced with the loss of their Cold War alliance relationships and confronting unparalleled challenges to the survival of the regime, sought security through pursuit of nuclear weapons and diplomatic breakthroughs with the United States.

Police were called to a retail store in town because a woman walked out with a buggy, full of 47 items, and did not pay for them.
Police were called and she said she did not mean to steal them, according to the report.
She then offered to pay for them. In her statement to police she told them she had a problem a long time ago with shoplifting and that it is in my head.
She added that she has had phobias and panic attacks since 1985.
According to the report she admitted to attempting to steal the items.
Then, out of nowhere, this 71-year-old woman, made a calculated move, according to the police report. She executed a very careful roll out of her chair, and onto her back, on the floor.
The police told her she was still under arrest and offered her assistance in getting up and back into the chair for further questioning.
According to the report, she responded by saying, Dont you have a grandmother?
EMS arrived and evaluated her and found her to be in good condition.
She then agreed to provide a statement in which she said she never hurt anyone and did not go to the store with the intention of stealing.
She was placed under arrest and put on trespass notice from the store.
The report indicated she had multiple shoplifting charges ranging from 1984 to 2013.

When you're living with a disease like hepatitis C, it's natural to want to try any treatment possible to relieve your symptoms and improve your quality of life. Standard hepatitis C treatment has come a long way towards curing the disease. However, the drugs don't always work and they can have side effects.
For some patients with the disease, hepatitis C complementary and alternative treatment offers another option. "One of the things I always say is that, obviously, Western medicine does not have all the answers," says Paul Martin, MD, FACP, chief of the division of hepatology and professor of medicine at the University of Miami. "Patients who have been treated in the past and failed to respond are interested in exploring various therapeutic options."
Yet the research on hepatitis C complementary and alternative medicine has been limited, and no study so far has proven any alternative remedy safe and effective for treating the condition. It's difficult to draw any conclusions from the research because studies on alternative remedies are typically not as rigorous as those used to test medications.
"A lot of what the FDA does is not only prove drugs are effective but also that they're safe," according to Martin. "There isn't the same sort of scrutiny of the production of these compounds as there is for prescription and over-the-counter medications."
Determining whether herbal remedies are safe and effective for hepatitis C will become easier as investigators begin to take a more traditional approach to their research, says Victor Navarro, MD, professor of medicine in the division of gastroenterology and hepatology at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia. "We're [testing them] like pharmaceuticals so we can really know if there is any benefit."
"I think it's possible that in the future, some of the therapies may actually have some benefit," Martin says.
In the meantime, if you are going to try such therapies for hepatitis C treatment or any other condition, talk to your doctor first. Even though herbal remedies are "all natural," they can still have side effects, and many can interact with medicines you're already taking. "The appropriate thing is to explore all the options for your particular liver disease with a specialist," Martin says.
Complementary and Alternative Options for Hepatitis C
Hepatitis C complementary and alternative treatments range from herbal remedies such as milk thistle, licorice root, ginseng, and thymus extract, to therapies like massage, chiropractic care, and relaxation techniques. Up to 40% of people with hepatitis C who have failed conventional treatment say they have tried other therapies, and many report less fatigue, an immune system boost, and better gastrointestinal function as a result.
Here are some of the most popular hepatitis C complementary and alternative treatments, and what the research has to say about them:
Milk thistle (Silybum marianum) is the most popular herbal remedy for hepatitis C and among the best studied. Milk thistle is thought to both reduce liver inflammation and have an antiviral effect on the hepatitis C infection. A very small study presented at the 2008 European Association for the Study of the Liver conference suggested that milk thistle might decrease levels of the hepatitis C virus in patients who didn't respond to standard medical treatment. However, a previous larger review that looked at several studies concluded that milk thistle does little to reduce the complications of liver disease or improve the results of liver function tests. Though the evidence on milk thistle is so far inconclusive, the herb appears to be very safe with few side effects reported.
Licorice root (Glycyrrhiza glabra) uses the active component found in the dried root of the licorice plant. Some studies indicate that it might reduce some of the complications of hepatitis C (including liver cancer) and improve liver function. Licorice root is either taken on its own or combined with other herbs. In one study, patients who took a combination of licorice root, milk thistle, and several other herbs had improved measures of liver enzymes (a marker of liver damage and inflammation) and tests of liver function. Licorice root should be used carefully because it can have significant side effects, including high blood pressure, salt and water retention, and potassium loss. It also can have potentially dangerous interactions with medications such as diuretics, certain heart medications, and corticosteroids.
Thymus extract comes from the thymus gland of cows. Because the thymus helps regulate immune function, it has been speculated that its extract might boost the immune system in hepatitis C patients, but too few studies have been done to confirm this theory. A small study of Complete Thymic Formula, a dietary supplement containing thymus extract, as well as vitamins, minerals, and enzymes, found that this supplement did not benefit hepatitis C patients who had failed conventional treatment. Although this study noted only one side effect (a drop in blood platelets), there is concern that thymus extract might be prone to contamination because it comes from animals. People with immune problems (such as HIV/AIDS) should use caution when taking thymus extract.
Ginseng has been used to boost the immune system, and there is some evidence that it might help people with other types of liver conditions. However, it hasn't been studied well enough in people with hepatitis C to show any benefit. And because ginseng can decrease blood sugar and increase risk for bleeding, it should be used very carefully.
Schisandra is a plant that has been used for centuries as part of traditional Japanese medicine. In one small study, a Japanese herbal medicine called TJ-108 containing schisandra fruit had an antiviral effect on hepatitis C. However, the researchers aren't sure whether the schisandra or other ingredients in the herbal remedy were responsible for this effect.
St. John's wort has gained popularity for treating mild to moderate depression. Some patients with hepatitis C take the herbal remedy to counter the side effects of conventional treatment, but there is no evidence that it works.
Lactoferrin is a protein found in milk, as well as in the tears and saliva. A few small studies have found that when it is taken as part of a dietary supplement, lactoferrin may lower levels of the hepatitis C virus in the blood and improve liver function. It may be useful when taken together with standard medication, but this remains to be seen in future trials.
Other hepatitis C treatments include massage, acupuncture, and relaxation therapy. Although none of these treatments has been shown in scientific studies to work, there is anecdotal evidence that they may help relieve hepatitis C pain and ease some of the side effects of standard treatment.

There are no published photos or videos that we have been able to find, and no stories that describe the oil-encrusted dorsal fins and odd behavior that suggest an under-reported or deliberately hidden environmental catastrophe.

CATA band beats 300 to win $15,000 prize
The Central Academy of Technology and Arts marching band beat more than 300 other entries to win a $15,000 grant from Rack Room Shoes.
The Gift of Music video contest required that each entry make a music video featuring their band. People voted for the videos online. Their video, which featured the 12 Days of Christmas, received more than 11,900 votes.
Band Director Leslie Craven plans to use the money to purchase marching band uniforms for the band which, though small, has experienced large growth over the past year.
A year ago, when Craven interviewed for the job, there were 14 students registered for the band. Today, there are about 70 students in band programs, with 34 students in the marching band.
The newly-designed uniforms were recently unveiled. The grant will cover the uniforms because the Charlotte Catholic marching band donated their old pants and hats, Craven said.
Bryan Gurley, the regional manager for Rack Room Shoes, came to CATA Tuesday afternoon to present Craven and the band members with a check.
Gurley himself played alto saxophone in his high school marching band.
You are only just getting started, Gurley told the gathering of students.
"It's a wonderful honor being able to join everyone," Gurley said.
Craven found out the program won the grant in January.
"We were (surprised)," Craven said.
She added that they are a small program in a small school.
The band spent about two weeks working on the video.
Seniors Michael Johnston and Danai Mushonga thanked Rack Room Shoes on behalf of the band program.
"Thanks to all of you guys, this is actually happening," Mushonga said.
Johnston thanked Craven for taking the band to "new heights."

Spring Break: Savannah Day 3
Our first stop was one of my new favorites – Sweet Tea in Sandfly. I drooled over these petite hand painted canvases on my last trip and, armed with a Living Social deal, made this mine without a moment's hesitation.
We lunched at the relatively new Cookie Bar at Byrd's Cookie Company. It was a pricey little meal, but wonderfully delish. Our favorite was the honeycrisp apple and english cheddar salad.
We hit up a number of our other regular haunts but it was the Habersham Antique Market that took the cake this trip. I left with five vintage Nancy Drew books (positively my most adored childhood read), a aqua grain sack (that will be reappearing quite soon as pillows somewhere in my house), and an old refrigerator basket (that will be holding firewood for our outdoor fireplace starting construction next week *squeal*.) If I told you how little I paid for the loot, you'd be plum green with envy.
After a few hours in and out of stores, we unleashed the littles for some good old fashioned goofing around in Forsyth Park.
I wrapped up my day with a divine evening out with two very special childhood gals. We sipped wine, noshed on a variety of delectable eats and talked for hours at K's newest restaurant, a.lure (facebook / website). Look for much more to come on a.lure as it's just been added to my very unofficial official Savannah must-do list!!
One of these days I'll put together a list of all those "official" Savannah faves. In the meantime, for more Savannah shopping chronicles, check here, here, here, here, here and here.

I bought those same Nancy Drew books for my mother-in-law for Christmas because she lost hers in a house fire as a little girl and ALWAYS talks about it. They were not an easy score on ebay! Obviously, a lot of Nancy Drew fans out there! Great find!ReplyDelete
I would LOVE to see a list of your Savannah highlights. I am planning a family reunion for Savannah/Tybee in June 2013 and need some fabulous ideas!!!!!ReplyDelete
We always vacation at Tybee in early June. Any hope that an "official" list might be compiled by then? With a list, I might be able to make myself leave the beach for a morning or afternoon-maybe. :)ReplyDelete
Sounds like an idealic day! You came home with some really great finds. Love that wire basket.ReplyDelete
sharon @ mrs. hines class
A trip and STAY in Savannah is on my "bucket list". I AM green with envy at your trip, it sounds perfect. XO, PinkyReplyDelete
Your blog is fabulous! Glad I stopped by today!ReplyDelete
I love your blog! I am glad I stopped by today!ReplyDelete
Ladies, I will do my best to get to it before June because if it doesn't happen before school lets out for summer it likely never will :-) xoxoReplyDelete

Copyright ©1987 by Carrie Fisher; (P)1988 by Dove Books on Tape
"Carrie's book is savagely funny and savagely revealing. It makes Moby Dick seem like a big, fat, dumb book." (Steve Martin)
"This was filled with quotes that resonated with me"
Yes, especially to those who deal with depression like I do. Some of the things the main character thought, were scarily similar to mine even though I've never done drugs much less been confined in Rehab.
None, really. I haven't read or listened to anything like this before. But, if we're going to include movies, this reminded me somewhat of Trainspotting. I don't know why, it just did.
This was the first audiobook I've listened to by Carrie Fisher. However, after this, I'm planning to get Shockaholic and Wishful Drinking next.
There's already a film based on this book. I'm planning to watch it, too. But tag line? Maybe "A visa for happiness. A lifetime pass for sadness." since that was my favorite line in the book and the one I identified most with.
This was short, and I listened to it at work to drown out the annoying sounds of my co-workers. I loved how Carrie Fisher narrated the entire thing, and my favorite part was when Suzanne was in rehab and how she described and interacted with the other patients. Some parts of this book made me laugh because of Carrie's dry, sarcastic wit. Other parts made me unutterably sad and melancholy because it described a lot of the feelings and thoughts I've had over the years during my lowest points.
"I would have given it 3.5 stars"
It was entertaining enough
The book wasn't bad. It did feel kinda short. It was unclear who the main character was and it was hard to follow at times. It's not really a biography. It's a weird book. Not bad, not great. I'd be inclined to read some of her other books, though.
"Carrie is hysterical"
up at the top for sure
hard to pick - all so good
I guess Carrie herself, how amazing to have survived all that and able to laugh at herself

Mohammed heard one of his wives was leaving him, so he rushed home where he found her on the carpet in front of the tent with her belongings; he sat beside her and said, "I heard you were planning to leave me?"
She replied, "Yes, I heard your other wives saying you were a pedophile!"
Mohammed thinks for a minute or so and then responds, "that's a mighty big word for a 6 year old."

NCAA CHAMPIONSHIPS HERE WE COME!: The 64th-ranked New Mexico Lobos (17-6, 5-0) drew the 23rd-ranked Washington Huskies (14-8) in the opening round of the NCAA Championships announced by the NCAA Men's Tennis Committee on ESPNews Wednesday, May 5. The third-seeded Lobos will play the second-seeded Huskies at Stanford in Palo Alto, Calif. on May 15th at 9 a.m. PT. Stanford (16-7), seeded 10th in the tournament overall, is the top seed in the region and will play Pacific (15-9) at 12 p.m. If the Lobos advance to the second round, they will play the winner of the Stanford-Pacific match-up at 12 p.m. on Sunday, May 16.
The 2004 appearance will be the first for the Lobos since 1999. In 1999, the Lobos lost 4-0 to Pepperdine in the first round. Overall, the Lobos have made nine team appearances in the tournament. Their first appearance was in 1991 and they made it every year through 1999.
New Mexico's best showing in the NCAA Championships was in 1996 and 1998. The Lobos won both games in the regional to advance to the Round of 16. UNM lost both appearances in that round.
The Lobos have never played Washington, Stanford or Pacific in the NCAA Championships but have faced each of them in regular season competition. The Lobos are 2-4 against the Huskies with Washington sweeping UNM 7-0 in the last meeting which was in 2003. Stanford holds the 3-1 all-time series advantage over New Mexico and the last time they squared off was in 1997 with the Cardinals claiming the 7-0 shutout. The one and only time the Lobos took on the Tigers, they downed Pacific 5-4.
The NCAA Men's Tennis Committee announced the selections to the singles and doubles championships Thursday, May 6 on the NCAA website (www.ncaasports.com). Senior Divan Coetzee will represent UNM for the third time in his career, every year he has donned the cherry and silver, in the singles tournament. Both competitions will be held May 26-31 in Tulsa, Okla. following the conclusion of the team championship. The bracket for the tournament has not been announced at this time.
Coetzee, ranked 22nd nationally, was the highest of four athletes to be selected out of the Mountain Region. Fellow Mountain West Conference athletes selected were No. 45 Erik Nyman of BYU and 73rd-ranked Henner Nehles of UNLV. Also selected from the Mountain Region was 55th-ranked Guillaume Bouvier of Boise State.
With Coetzee's appearance in the singles tournament this year, he will break away from a three-way tie for most appearances by a New Mexico men's tennis player. Coetzee was tied for two appearances with Steve Otero and Tad Berkowitz. Otero represented the Lobos in 1983 and '85 while Berkowitz went in 1994 and '95.
Including Coetzee, New Mexico has sent 15 different men to the NCAA singles tournament. The first, Van Hill, went in 1968 going 3-1 but the best record was that of Tim Garcia in 1976 when he went 4-1 in the tournament. Coetzee is 0-2.
The Lobos were denied a bid to the doubles tournament. Juniors David Kowalski and Ryan Stotland are tied 61st with Erik Nyman and Nima Roshan of BYU and Braden Olson and Merek Gebicki of Montana State, but BYU and MSU got the automatic selections from the region having both defeated Kowalski and Stotland in the regular season.
For complete coverage including live results of both the team and individual tournaments, Click\ Here.
WASHINGTON HUSKIES: Washington (14-8, 4-3 Pac-10) has won its regional each of the past three years, advancing to the final 16-team NCAA Tournament field on each occasion. The men finished in sole possession of fourth place in the Pac-10 standings with a 4-3 record. USC and UCLA shared the conference title with 6-1 records, followed by Stanford who finished 5-2.
Junior All-American Alex Vlaski is the anchor of the Huskies' singles lineup. Always facing the opposition's top gun, Vlaski has amassed an exceptional 19-4 record against ranked foes this season including eight wins over players in the top-25, and four over top-10 players. His overall record stands at 27-6. Vlaski's 90 wins put him in fourth place on UW's career singles wins list. This fall, Vlaski became the first Husky national champion since 1924 by winning the ITA All-American Singles Championship. As the fourth seed in the prestigious tournament, Vlaski defeated three players ranked in the top-20 of the ITA rankings en route to the title.
Freshman Alex Slovic has made an immediate major impact on the collegiate tennis world. In the latest ITA Rankings, Slovic shot up to a new career high of 27. Slovic now sits as the second highest-ranked freshman in the nation. The freshman already owns nine wins over ranked opponents and earlier this season recorded an 11-match winning streak. Slovic has dominated most of his competition, winning 24 of his 25 matches in straight sets.
STANFORD CARDINAL: The Cardinal finished third in the Pac-10 with a 16-7 overall record and a 5-2 mark in conference play. Stanford, the host of the regional, enters the weekend with a No. 9 national ranking. The Cardinal have faced 21 ranked opponents this season, posting a 14-7 record. Legendary coach Dick Gould, who will step down from coaching to assume the position of Director of Tennis for Stanford University at the conclusion of the season, has posted a 773-147 (.840) record during his tenure on The Farm.
Stanford University men's tennis player Sam Warburg was selected as the 2004 Pacific-10 Conference Player of the Year, as voted on by the league coaches. Freshman standout James Wan was named the 2004 Pac-10 Co-Newcomer of the Year, sharing the award with Washington's Alex Slovic.
Warburg compiled a 28-7 overall record and claimed the Pacific-10 Singles Championship. Warburg recorded a 19-3 dual match record and went 15-2 versus Pac-10 opponents. Warburg climbed the ITA rankings, starting the year at No. 71 and finishing with a career-high No. 8 ranking in the latest ITA poll. Warburg recorded a 19-3 record versus ranked opponents and a perfect 7-0 record versus opponents ranked in the top 25.
Wan, currently ranked No. 102 in the latest ITA rankings, posted a 27-4 overall record and a near perfect 23-1dual match record playing primarily at the No. 3 and No. 4 singles spots. Wan went 11-2 versus Pac-10 opponents.
PACIFIC TIGERS: The Tigers won the Big West Championship as a third seed with a 15-9 this season. Pacific has played nine ranked opponents including Washington and MWC members BYU and San Diego State. The Tigers lost all three matches.
Pacific sophomore Lennart Maack was honored as the 2004 Big West Player of the Year and Guido Baumann was named the 2004 Big West Coach of the Year.
Maack posted a dual match record of 18-4 this season as Pacific's primary No. 1 singles player. The sophomore went 5-0 against Big West opponents. Maack takes an 11-match winning streak into the NCAA Tournament, two of those wins having come against nationally-ranked players. Maack is ranked 68th in the latest ITA poll.
Baumann, in his seventh season at Pacific, earns his second Coach of the Year award having received the honor in 2001. He has led the Tigers to their second Big West championship and their third NCAA Tournament appearance in the last five seasons. Baumann owns a career record of 92-68 at Pacific and has guided the program to the Big West championship match in each of the last four seasons.
RECORD BREAKING YEAR: Senior Divan Coetzee, ranked No. 22, has made history at UNM. Coetzee has taken control of the single season record for wins. He is currently 37-9 overall and 19-4 at No. 1 singles. The record was previously held by Matt Amgwerd, who won 34 singles matches in the 1999-00 season.
Coetzee now has a career record of 96-29 that he has compiled in three short years. Coetzee is tied with Pepe Caballero for the most wins in UNM men's tennis history. Caballero, playing from 1995-99, went 96-56 overall.
As long as Coetzee can remain healthy, he will have an undetermined number of matches in the NCAA Team Tournament. The Lobos will definitely play one game ... Coetzee may also get an invite to the NCAA singles tournament, which he has participated in the last two consecutive years.
NIPPING AT HIS HEALS: While senior Divan Coetzee is having a record breaking year and getting all the attention, you may not have noticed the play of junior David Kowalski.
Kowalski had an impressive showing at regionals in the fall. He entered as the seventh seed and quickly advanced to the semifinal round with four straight wins. His most impressive win was over the fourth seeded, No. 85 Guillaume Bouvier of Boise State. Kowalski sliced up Bouvier, 6-4, 6-1 to advance to the semifinals.
In the spring, he has gone 14-8 at No. 2 singles. He came into the year with a 41-25 career record and now he is 65-39 overall. That record leaves him 17th all-time and he still has one more year of eligibility.

What got you started playing drums?

Re: What made you want to play drums more than anything?
I would say for me it was Bonham. When I was a kid way back in the 70's I remember listening to my brother's Led Zeppelin records and I was drawn to the big boomy sound of his drums. The tracks that did it for me were "When The Levee Breaks" and "Rock'n Roll". When I heard the intro to "Levee" and the solo at the end of "Rock'n Roll" I knew right then and there that I wanted to be a drummer. Not long after that I got my first kit, and tried to play along with those Led Zep records. After a short period of time I was playing along with a few songs and I took off from there. Thirty one years later I am still going strong and most importantly still learning and progressing. To this day I still play along with Led Zep and other music that has inspired me over the years. But the big event in my drumming years was seeing Buddy Rich in person when I was about 13 years old. That night changed my life. I have never seen anything like that before and probably never will.
