Blow Me Away Blogging
October 31, 2012 by Chris Sherman
SMX Social Media Marketing has a number of panels focusing on specific tactics and techniques for effectively leveraging Twitter, Facebook and other social channels. But all successful marketers know that maintaining an effective blog remains a cornerstone that can significantly enhance your social presence, and speakers on the Blow Me Away Blogging session promise to share the approaches they've developed to get the social universe excited and promoting your content, products or services on your behalf.
Jennifer Evans Cario, President of SugarSpun Marketing, has been blogging virtually since the concept was invented, and she's going to amplify on the idea of the blog as the "social media home base," offering strong guidelines for how to use it to tie together an integrated social media approach.
Mike Arnesen, Senior SEO Analyst at SwellPath, will discuss how successful blogging can be used for branding, traffic/lead generation and expertise building – and impressing senior management and clients. He'll also talk about educating your writers about the importance of having a consistent and genuine voice to make it easier for your fans and followers to tell and re-tell "your" story.
As powerful as blogging can be, it also takes a lot of work and often many people contribute to the process. Sarah Evans, Chief Evangelist, Tracky
will discuss "the less sexy" side of workflow through open social collaboration, why it's no longer about content marketing, but content collaboration, and how you can make this transition to the new reality while increasing efficiency and decreasing the number of tools used to accomplish tasks and produce content.
Blogs shouldn't be viewed as just a necessary marketing expense – they can also be a great driver of sales and profits. Drew Conrad, Social Media Marketing Specialist, Zagg
will offer a case study detailing how his firm directly attributed a significant increase in sales to content and promotions produced on the company blog, and how that very tangible ROI continues to grow through social media efforts.
Blow Me Away Blogging is just one of more than a dozen sessions, in addition to two keynotes, from Twitter and Google. You'll enjoy great lunches, networking receptions and free internet access in your ARIA guest room and conference session rooms.

|Pituitary dysfunction in survivors of spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage of anterior communicating artery and middle cerebral artery aneurysms: A comparative study.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22954974 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|Background: The data on incidence of hypopituitarism after SAH are conflicting. Furthermore, it is still not known whether there is any difference in hormonal deficiencies between SAH due to anterior communicating artery (A-com) and middle cerebral artery (MCA) aneurysms. Materials and Methods: This study includes both retrospective and prospective arms. The data collected included baseline demographic profile, clinical severity on admission to the hospital by the Hunt and Hess grading system and World Federation of Neurological Surgeons (WFNS) grading, radiological severity of bleed by the Fisher's classification, and treatment details. All the patients underwent detailed hormonal evaluation at baseline and 6 months in prospective group while at the end of 1 year in the retrospective group. Hormonal deficiencies between patients with A-com and MCA aneurysmal SAH were compared using appropriate statistical tests. Results: Of 60 patients studied, 47 patients (A-com: 28 and MCA: 19) were in the retrospective group, while 13 patients (A-com-9, MCA-4) were in the prospective group. The baseline data were comparable between the two groups. At or after 6 months follow-up, 19 (31.6%) patients, 10 patients with A-com and 9 patients with MCA aneurysmal SAH, had some form of hormone deficiency. Furthermore, there was no difference in endocrine dysfunctions between the two groups. There was no correlation between the severity of hormonal deficiency and the clinical severity of SAH grade by Hunt and Hess and radiological grade of SAH by Fisher's grade. Conclusion: Hormonal deficiencies are not uncommon in patients with SAH. There is no difference in hormonal deficiencies and severity of hypopituitarism in patients with SAH due to A-com and MCA bleed.

The royal baby has an official title—before a first name!
Prince William and Kate Middleton welcomed the wee HRH Prince of Cambridge at St. Mary's Hospital in London today, and now that the couple's first child has finally arrived, the world is eagerly waiting for the proud parents to reveal the little one's name.
So when will we know what to call the bundle of joy?
"The name of the baby will be announced in due course," Kensington Palace said in a statement today. Will and Kate will decide when to make the announcement.
While we certainly won't be waiting a full nine months, it may take some time before the proud parents are ready to reveal the child's name, particularly since they did not know the gender of the third in line to the British throne prior to the little one's arrival.
Prince William's own parents, Prince Charles and the late Princess Diana, waited a week before announcing Will's name, while Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Phillip spent an entire month picking out a name for Charles.
PHOTO: See the easel outside Buckingham Palace annoucing the royal baby's birth
The royal baby's name is also particularly important since Will and Kate are naming the future heir to the throne—so don't expect any kooky celeb kid spinoffs to make the cut (sorry, Apple Martin).
"You have to remember they are naming the future king or queen. So you won't want to see something silly, like Queen Suri, which would be fine if you are playing dress-up, but it is not quite appropriate for when you are the queen of 16 nations. They are going to be very careful when naming their child, so we will see something traditional," Victoria Arbiter, ABC's royals contributor and daughter of former Queen Elizabeth II press secretary Dickie Arbiter, told E! News.
Before the baby's arrival, Brits were in a frenzy placing bets on the baby's gender (sorry, to all you folks who bet on a girl) and name.
NEW: Prince William "could not be happier" after baby's birth
The current front-runner is George (now that Alexandra is out of the mix) with 11-2 odds. The name, of course, has a long standing tradition with the royal family. Other popular names include James, John and Charles.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge welcomed their first child, who weighed in at 8 pounds, 6 ounces, in the Lindo Wing at St. Mary's at 4:24 p.m. local time today.
"Her Royal Highness and her child are both doing well and will remain in hospital overnight," Kensington Palace said in a statement.
"We could not be happier," Prince William added.
Tune in to E! News for continuing coverage of the royal baby!

The University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh's football team rallied from a 17-point deficit and won its season-opener for the 30th time in the last 33 years as the 12th-ranked Titans knocked off Central College, 24-20, on a steamy Saturday afternoon at Schipper Stadium.
Nick Olla threw for 325 yards and a touchdown in his first start, while Cole Myhra added a pair of short scoring runs as the Titans beat the Dutch for the second straight year.
But this one didn't quite go as planned. ...

I would definitely speak to your doctor. Perhaps there is another way to deal with your periods?
I went through the same thing and ended up mine being fibroids in my uterus. They had just started showing signs they were turning to cancer. I had my hysterectomy five years ago and my health and "moods" (depression and anxiety) have been more under control that they ever have.
It sounds like it could be fibroids? You definitely need to talk to your GYN about your issues. Having a major surgery like a hysterectomy should only be done as a last resort. Good luck with it all.

|Early development and putative primordial germ cells characterization in dogs.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 20477984 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|Previously, three distinct populations of putative primordial germ cells (PGCs), namely gonocytes, intermediate cells and pre-spermatogonia, have been described in the human foetal testis. According to our knowledge, these PGCs have not been studied in any other species. The aim of our study was to identify similar PGC populations in canine embryos. First, we develop a protocol for canine embryo isolation. Following our protocol, 15 canine embryos at 21-25 days of pregnancy were isolated by ovaryhysterectomy surgery. Our data indicate that dramatic changes occur in canine embryo development and PGCs specification between 21 to 25 days of gestation. At that moment, only two PGC populations with distinct morphology can be identified by histological analyses. Cell population 1 presented round nuclei with prominent nucleolus and a high nuclear to cytoplasm ratio, showing gonocyte morphology. Cell population 2 was often localized at the periphery of the testicular cords and presented typical features of PGC. Both germ cell populations were positively immunostained with anti-human OCT-4 antibody. However, at day 25, all cells of population 1 reacted positively with OCT-4, whereas in population 2, fewer cells were positive for this marker. These two PGCs populations present morphological features similar to gonocytes and intermediate cells from human foetal testis. It is expected that a population of pre-spermatogonia would be observed at later stages of canine foetus development. We also showed that anti-human OCT-4 antibody can be useful to identify canine PGC in vivo.

So What Is The Value Of Video?
Over at No Jitter, John Bartlett of NetForecast has a blog post that asks a question I expect will be on the minds of an increasing number of enterprise decision makers in the months and years ahead: "Is videoconferencing a second-class citizen on the network?"John's a consultant whose expertise lies in network optimization and QOS, so he's careful to define his terms and explain that what justifies giving an application high priority may not be its absolute importance to the business, but rather its behavior on the network. Clearly there's a relationship there: If, somehow, your enterprise never used video for anything other than repeated viewings of that Bill O'Reilly-Christian Bale YouTube mashup (language NSFW, of course), then you wouldn't prioritize video traffic over anything, even though as an application, video inherently needs higher-quality treatment in order to run as intended.
In reality, of course, video is becoming more important in the way enterprises actually do business. That leads John B. to ask the question: Given that voice and video are both real-time apps, will it always make sense to prioritize voice over video? And he leaves it as a question, keeping open the possibility that there may be a technical reason not to relegate voice to the second-class position -- i.e., ahead of all non-real-time apps but behind video. That's because we're really in new territory here; we've never before questioned the notion that high video quality was a nice-to-have but high voice quality was a necessity.
Partly, your answer will depend on how you use video. As John suggests, having HD room videoconferencing or telepresence is a major investment, so the stakes are high. In contrast, Web-based desktop video offers a stringency of user expectations that is to cellular voice as Britney Spears is to Joan Crawford in the realm of motherhood stringency. But in the long term, will expectations of poor-quality desktop video continue, or will video start to get used in Unified Communications applications where quality actually matters -- say, in those Communications Enabled Business Process scenarios where video plays a role in the troubleshooting scenario?
So just as with IP voice, there are a lot of moving parts when it comes to IP video in the enterprise. The answer presumably lies someplace where the application's demands, importance, and scale meet the network's capacity and capabilities. But given that video is the one technology area that's really booming these days, you may not have the luxury of a lot of time to figure out this answer.
That's why we've decided to add a conference-within-a-conference to the VoiceCon Orlando program: "Strategies and Tactics for Enterprise Video." John Bartlett will be joined by Andrew Davis, managing partner at Wainhouse Research, as leaders of this two-day program. John will focus on infrastructure and support issues, while Andrew discusses market trends and enterprise procurement and deployment strategies. They'll be joined by panelists from the leading vendors in the marketplace.
Video has been on the VoiceCon program for years, and has found an audience but never really a home. In this way, it's a lot like video as an application on the enterprise network. But now as enterprises look for ways to save on travel and to do business internationally in a more effective and cost-efficient manner, video is poised to take off. But it will take off, in the enterprise, within the context of the communications architecture that the enterprise is in the process of creating. So it's a natural fit for VoiceCon.
Of course, we're aware of the irony inherent in talking about travel avoidance technology at a conference that you travel to. But at the same time, enterprise communications buyers don't purchase technology from a distance; they engage with the vendors, kick the tires, and discuss it with their colleagues. That's what we'll be doing next month in Orlando, and we hope you'll join us.As enterprises look for ways to save on travel and to do business internationally in a more effective and cost-efficient manner, video is poised to take off.

The inquisition of BBC director general Mark Thompson by MPs from parliament's public accounts committee last week didn't stop at the corporation's ousting of Broadcasting House architect MacCormac Jamieson Pritchard. As part of the questioning, Thompson and two of his governors were asked to name the BBC's chairman in 2001. After much deliberation, the beeb bosses, rather amazingly, failed to stretch their memories back four years. 'We'll have to get back to you, ' they said, putting a surprising amount of faith in their organisational prowess.

This documentary was written and produced by Mark Bruzonsky in 1992. It was shown on cable TV throughout the United States and Canada.
{Sound is poor because of technical problems. If sound not good on your computer go to the following which has better sound but more blurred video - vimeo.com/78466385)
THIS UNUSUAL and DRAMATIC DOCUMENTARY documentary was made just before the start of the Palestinian Intifada. It features Muna Hamzeh and was inspired by a real life story with Mark Bruzonsky. The award-winning British film-maker, Mira Hammermesh, was commissioned by Channel 4 in London to make TALKING TO THE ENEMY. It was shown during prime-time hours in both the UK and on the PBS Network in the USA.
This special MERTV program was made for FREE SPEECH TV in 1996. It was the time of the 'Oslo Peace Process' and everyone was saying it was "irreversible'. But even then Mark Bruzonsky and other experts realized it was a 'Peace Process' build on political quicksand and deception, "Phony"!
This is important today because much that is today called the 'peace process' is now built on new political quicksand and deception; and the region is racing toward more war and possible cataclysm.
9/11 probably would not have happened if these thoughtful and courageous American Jews had been listened to in 1992. Contact today at 202 362-5266. firstname.lastname@example.com

Kingston forward Sam Bennett notched a hat trick plus a helper as the Frontenacs mangled Belleville 10-2. The output vaults Bennett to 35 goals and 88 points through 53 games this season. Fellow draft eligible Spencer Watson chipped in a goal and an assist for the Fronts.
In the QMJHL, Halifax speedster Nikolaj Ehlers matched Bennett with a hat trick and assist of his own in the Mooseheads' 6-0 blanking of Bathurst. Ehlers has really ramped up his production of late, cashing 10 goals and 15 points in his last five games to push his season numbers to 40-47-87 in 56 outings.
In the WHL, Sam Reinhart extended his point streak to 22 games with a power play assist as Kootenay doubled Saskatoon 4-2. The smart playmaker has 34 goals and 94 points this season, including a remarkable 18 goals and 44 points in 19 games since returning from his Team Canada World Junior experience.
On Wednesday, Reinhart poured another 2+1 to help the ICE to a 5-1 win at Moose Jaw.
In other Friday action, Robby Fabbri continued to stack points with a goal and an assist in Guelph's 6-5 loss to Sudbury. Undersized but effective, the slick forward has racked up 41 goals in 51 games this season.
Calgary's Jake Virtanen picked up an assist to extend his point streak to six games as Calgary cruised past Kamloops 5-1. Virtanen has 40 goals and and 64 points in 63 games.
In USHL action, Ryan Mantha scored a goal as part of a six-shot performance as Indiana rolled over Waterloo 6-2. Mantha, who in November stood out with his physical style at the World Junior A Challenge, doesn't score a ton (three goals in 40 games) but it's worth noting when he does. The 6-foot-5 defender is committed the University of North Dakota.

Interesting. The next question is what is the ppb difference between "unacceptable" and "dangerous". I would think that water in one's home needs to have a very low level as people would drink from it an bathe in it daily. Drinking at that same level from one decanter probably isn't a big deal.
I say that, but I'm not volunteering either.

The Inner City 100
Molina Healthcare gives physicians freedom to match the treatment with the culture
Dr. J. Mario Molina doesn't merely embrace diversity. He leverages it. "Health care is a very local business," says the CEO of Molina Healthcare Inc. (#61), a managed-care company based in Long Beach, Calif. "You can't assume just because you've got it right in one location that 12 blocks away it's going to be the same."
That's especially true in the often ethnically heterogeneous inner cities that are Molina's market. Molina Healthcare has flourished by accommodating cultural differences among its chiefly African American, Hispanic, and Southeast Asian clients. In a clinic with many Cambodian patients, for example, staffers know that large red abrasions on a child's chest may indicate not abuse but rather a folk remedy known as coining, in which a coin or spoon is rubbed against the ribs to dispel a cough. Some Hispanic patients may blame their diabetes on susto, or "fear." And their physicians must translate dietary recommendations from American foodstuffs (bread, for instance) into that community's equivalent (tortillas).
To make communication easier, the company tries to hire staff who live in patients' neighborhoods and speak their languages. (The current workforce is 44% white, 29% Hispanic, 14% African American, 11% Asian, and 3% other races.) By decentralizing the organization and encouraging providers to shape their services around an intimate understanding of the communities, Molina has grown the single clinic that his father started in 1980 into a $328-million company. Molina Healthcare now does business at 22 sites in California and has subsidiaries in Utah, Washington, and Michigan.
A few things are standardized, however. All providers -- both clinics and the physicians with whom Molina has contracts -- are close to patients' homes or bus lines, in order to make things easier for those of the business's 350,000 members who can't afford cars. Patients may have limited reading skills, so the company develops its own literature about everything from prenatal care to prostate-cancer screening. It tests the material on focus groups before distribution.
But patients are only one of Molina's concerns. His customers also include state agencies -- such as the California Department of Health Services -- with which Molina Healthcare has contracts. Virtually all of the company's revenues come from Medicaid and other government-sponsored health-insurance programs, which simplifies accounting by drastically pruning the number of payers. Checks arrive once a month, their amounts determined by the number of members enrolled, regardless of the number of patients seen or the services provided. "The trick is to be large enough so that you spread the risk," says Molina. "You gamble that not everybody is going to get sick at the same time."
Molina says that although welfare reform and a strong economy have reduced the number of people eligible for Medicaid, he has seen a compensatory rise in the rates that states are willing to pay. He doesn't fret about the implications of a new federal administration or an economic downturn, either. "Other companies enter and exit the Medicaid market depending on how profitable it is for them and how much effort they have to expend," says the CEO. "It's just the opposite for Molina. We are in it for the long term. We find ways to make it work."
"One of the things my father used to say -- to paraphrase the Bible -- is 'The poor will always be with us," says Molina. "No matter what the government does, there's going to be a need for our services."

I was just reading that Newton Gold (NWG) announced their intent to acquire a Kaolin property in Nova Scotia. Coincidentally enough that land is ajoining the property Orbite just acquired......
Newton Gold Corp. has signed a letter of intent to earn a 100-per-cent interest in the Sibley Road property located in Halifax county, Nova Scotia. The Sibley Road property, host to a kaolin clay and silica sand deposit with potential economic products including alumina, titanium, and white silica sand. The property covers 648 hectares and is immediately north of, and contiguous with, the Chaswood property that was recently acquired by Orbite Aluminae Inc. (TSX-ORT).
Highlights of the Sibley Road property are:
In Nova Scotia Cretaceous aged clay and sand deposits occur in basins hidden below glacial sediments across the province and several are currently being mined at a small scale for industrial uses. Extensive exploration in the region, which includes the current Sibley Road property, was carried out during the 1990's after white 'paper grade' kaolin was identified within the Chaswood Formation. Over $12 million in exploration development had been spent during this period on the Sibley property - including 416 drill holes, approximately 14 line kilometres of seismic lines and an environmental scoping study.
Of the 416 drill holes, a deposit model for Sibley Road was created using only 161 drill holes that were drilled in an area measuring approximately 2,100 metres by 1,200 metres. The current estimated (non NI 43-101) resource of approximately 90 million tonnes of kaolin clay and approximately 70 million tonnes of silica sand. Only a few drill holes on the property were sampled for chemical analysis and in order to evaluate all potential economic minerals within the property a significant sampling and analytical program needs to be conducted.
A compilation of the logged drill holes has identified five cycles of alternating clay and silica-rich beds with an average total thickness of 42 metres and a maximum thickness of greater than 140 metres. Several independent studies indicate that the clay sediments of the Chaswood Formation average between 20 and 23 % alumina. However, lab test work has confirmed that the kaolin rich clay fraction alone contains 25-38% alumina and the silica-rich fraction in the silica sand contains 95-99% silica.
"Having an option to acquire a 100% interest in an advanced stage property that continues on to land belonging to the recognized industry leader in alumina exploration is a unique situation. Our first priority is to calculate a resource using the vast amount of historic data followed by a drill program in the summer", stated Mark McLeary, president of Newton Gold. "We are in the process of establishing a team of industry leaders whom will manage and run the exploration and development of this property."
The property's excellent access combined with its strategic location (being near a natural gas pipeline and a nearby railway right of way in proximity to the Port of Halifax) add to the economic potential of the Sibley Road deposit.
Newton Gold has agreed to a two stage option in order to acquire a 100% undivided interest in the Sibley Road property. Newton must pay $150,000 on signing of the definitive agreement and spend $12,000,000 over four years to earn an initial 50% and then issue $12,000,000 in capital stock in Newton to earn the remaining 50%, for a total of 100%. The Option Agreement remains subject to the approval of regulatory authorities, including the TSX Venture Exchange.
NOTE: Although the Company intends to calculate a new resource estimate, there is insufficient NI 43-101 compliant data to define a NI 43-101 compliant mineral resource at this time. The grades provided in this news release may not represent the entire deposit and should be considered preliminary in nature. All data for this news release are taken from the report "NI 43-101 Technical Report: Evaluation of Kaolin, Silica Sand and Titanium Resources in the Musquodoboit Valley of Nova Scotia" authored by Dr. Rudolf Stea, P.Geo.
Dr. Rudolf Stea, P.Geo, is Newton Gold's Qualified Person, according to National Instrument 43-101, for the Sibley Road Property and has reviewed the technical data contained in this news release.

"Thank you all for coming out today to celebrate the life of James or "Daft Wee Jimmy" as he has been called for most of his life." She said. Suddenly a woman in the front row burst into tears, crying hysterically.2
"He was so short!" She cried. Anne assumed that she was his mother as the woman in hysterics was rather short and looked like James in a wig.3
"Several times through out his life I had thought lost our Daft Wee James. He had a penchant for choosing the most dangerous jobs as many of the people here know. I remember this one time back when he was working as a deep sea fisherman that James, bless his heart, jumped from the schooner he had been working on to save the life of someone who had fallen off the boat. He almost drowned but he managed to swim back to the ship with the person. We all laughed when we saw that it was just a blow up doll. 4
"That was mine!" said a man in one of the pews. 5
"That was probably around the time that He went from being just Wee Jimmy to Daft Wee Jimmy." Anne continued. "I also remember a time when he was working as a fly fisherman. He came tearing back into town with a hook stuck into the back of his neck, barely missing a major artery. He was never any good around sharp objects like the time when he chopped off all the toes on his left foot when working as a lumber jack. But that didn't stop him from wearing those sandals that eh was so fond of wearing." Anne said, wiping a tear from her cheek. "He really loved his sandals."6
"Nothing ever seemed to fade him no matter how hard life treated Daft Wee Jimmy until he took that job at the zoo. WHY??? WHY??? Jimmy would you take that job?" She cried beating her fists on the coffin. She stood up and straightened herself up walking back to the altar. "Jimmy was on his first day at his new job at the Zoo when he was asked to help bathe one of the elephants. When he had walked around it spraying it with the hose, I assume that the warm water made the elephant, who had been severely constipated, let go. The impact sent Jimmy flying ans just as he started screaming for help, he was smothered under a four foot high pile of elephant dung."7
Anne coulnd't speak anymore, overcome with tears. Sobbing she was lead back to her seat.

About The Cam
The Nestbox is located in Benicia, California, in The Historic Arsenal District.
To learn more about The Arsenal, go to www.BeniciaArsenal.com
The nestbox has been in use by Barn Owls for over a decade.
Between mating cycles, the Owls use the box for a roost. (A place to sleep during the day.)
2004 was the year we began observing the activity inside the box.
There is very limited access to the box, and the only openings in it are small holes
for the cameras and "The Front Door". As such, the Owls are pretty much left
to their business. If they want their nest littered with the bones and fur of their prey,
who are we to stop them?
Not to mention, they will use the stuff to make a lovely nest for their babies.
And when they decide its time to clean house, they just kick it all out the front door.
(just ask their downstairs neighbors!)
The Front Door
The bottom opening is a screened off ventilation duct that the owls used to go into
before they had a place of their own.
30+ feet off the ground, straight up a concrete building, the Owls dont have to
worry about Raccoons or Cats getting to their nest.
Just in case you were thinking we were cruel to put lights in the owls' nest,
you will be happy to learn that we did not.
We use cameras with infrared nightvision!
At night, the inside of the box is pitch black.
You will notice that the image is in color during the day when there is plenty of natural
light, and switches to black and white as it gets dark and the nightvision kicks in.
The cameras we use are SONY 1/3" Super HAD CCD sensor Color Cameras.
A water proof high resolution camera with IR LED array for incredible see-in-the-dark
operation. This camera not only works well in the dark, but also in bright outdoor and
normal indoor conditions.
Installing the second camera and a microphone. (And cleaning camera #1.)

QOTD: When This Cycle Ends…
Posted By Barry Ritholtz On September 23, 2011 @ 10:30 am In Cycles,Investing,Valuation | Comments Disabled
You are so CORRECT with this observation, IMHO: Before this full cycle ends, will the March 2009 lows hold?
Ron Griess of The Chart Store [1] fame makes the following observation:
"[Its possible that] the current phase swoon ends 1,010 to 1,100, year end stabilization/rally (right shoulder builds) and the final wipeout commences sometime next year.
It is amazing how many long-term bottoms are made in years ending in 2. 1932, 1942, 1962, 1982 and 2002 come to mind."
Great stuff, Ron.

Bionic man takes one step at a timeComment on this story
Cape Town - The controller presses "start" on a hand-held device which makes a beep. On the third "beep" Andrew Merryweather lifts himself from the chair. He shifts his weight to his left leg then takes a step with his right. It is a moment of awe for the man who was told he would never walk again.
But he is walking, thanks to a bionic suit.
In 2006 Merryweather was beaten in an attack at a Claremont petrol station which left him unable to use his legs and his left arm – a tetraplegic. Doctors told him to prepare for life in a wheelchair.
But Merryweather swore he'd walk again. Seven years and one Ekso suit later, he is doing just that.
"Any kind of standing is like a breath of fresh air," said Merryweather. He said it was an emotional experience to stand up and walk.
But it was a bitter-sweet milestone because he is renting the suit for only three months at more than $4 800 (about R47 000) a month; only if he raises around R800 000 will he be able to buy it.
Merryweather heard of "walking suits" two years ago. "My therapy had plateaued, and I was looking for something to take me to another level," he said.
He was sceptical, and thought it was just a robotic device. But in August he flew to the UK where he tried two suits, the Ekso and the Re-Walk.
He chose the Ekso because of its rehabilitative functions. Ekso's Barry Richards, who is training Merryweather, said: "He's not a passenger. He has to use what function he has to enable him to walk.
"Effectively, Andrew is walking. Ekso provides the assistance to complete his step."
Merryweather's record walking time is 18 minutes, but it will increase with time.
Richards said the Ekso suit taught users to regain their balance and standing control by shifting their weight forward and back using crutches.
"Sensors detect if the user is in an optimal position to step forward. Only then will the device allow the user to step forward."
Merryweather said he wanted other patients to be able to try the device over the next three months. He hopes to raise enough funds to be able to keep it.
l A fund-raiser on November 2 at the City Hall will feature Angelo Gobbato and Alan Committie. Call 084 300 6388 to book tickets.
Road to recovery
Andrew Merryweather's therapy started in 2007 when he partnered with CPUT's Human Performance Laboratory.
He began treadmill therapy and within eight weeks his leg muscles started to respond. CPUT's Professor Simeon Davies described Merryweather as a "pioneer" who had approached his situation in an extremely positive and pragmatic manner.
Davies added that when Merryweather arrived it was "daunting as the injury he sustained was extremely acute and traumatic".
Raeeq Gamieldien, a lab technician who has been working with Merryweather since the beginning of his therapy, said Merryweather was initially "wobbly" and could barely lift himself up from his wheelchair.
After a lot of upper body work and building his core strength, Merryweather was now a completely different person, Gamieldien said.
"He is energetic and much more independent."
Suit specs
l The suit was designed in a robotics lab at the University of Berkeley, California, in 2000.
l Ekso was officially launched in the US in 2011.
l By the end of this year there will be 60 Ekso suits in use, 4 000 users and more than 3 million steps taken worldwide.
l There is a "zero-fall" rate.
l The suit has four motors: two at the hips and two at the knees.
l Two batteries provide the power source and enable four to six hours of walking.
l Ekso weighs 23kg.
l The user must weigh less than 100kg and be between 1.57m and 1.89m tall.
l A refurbished Ekso suit costs over $1 million to buy.
l Merryweather's suit is the first one in Cape Town. - Cape Argus

Keep in mind that I am happy with the finished project, it just wasn't what it started out to be. No whining here.
I was excited to wind a warp for this overshot rug here. I shoulda known better than to try to get this done right on my Harrisville Rescue loom. A rug requires a firm (read: as hard as a grown-ass man can) beat. I have not the power nor the wrist stability. I have not the weighted beater. I have it on the wrong loom to even have a chance of it being a sturdy rug.
Let's see. I wound the warp of 8/4 cotton carpet warp in natural. I have plenty of the same thread for the tabby weft. I ordered the 3-ply rug yarn in a marine blue in a generous amount. I am thrilled to be doing this project as I have admired it in Handwoven since the issue came out in March/April 2007. I have never woven overshot but that has never stopped me before. It is not my favorite weave structure but what the heck, I love a new thing. And I ended up liking the overshot process.
What did I realize?
1. I can wind a warp with 2 threads held together with my finger separating the threads and have the threads not twist.
2. I can get the warp on the loom in record time, making nary a mistake in the process.
3. I can tie the warp onto the front beam and even out the warp tension without stressing about it.
4. I can recognize that I have gone wrong with the tabby and can unweave and start over because it looks intuitively wrong.
5. I can read numerous resources and decide (thank you Mary Black and Mary M. Atwater) that I had started off with the wrong tabby shot. It made a difference.
6. I can realize this is a learning process and keep on with it in spite of realizing that it is not what it started out to be.
Wait. Go back to #6 and read it again. Yep. I knew it from the beginning and went on to spend time and materials weaving it anyway. And as I went along the beat was never right but it was consistent. The repeats measure the same size. I got 7 repeats instead of 10 on this warp length: the beat, the warp and tabby weft being a little fluffier than what was called for, the beat, the pattern weft being non-fuzzy and therefore not filling in the spaces well.
7. I should always wind an extra yard of warp just in case when working with something large like this rug.
8. Mary M. Atwater says that overshot rugs are usually too lumpy bumpy to be of any real use.
Here it is in a few pictures. It might make a good wall hanging.
9. And I can wind a ski shuttle to hold a huge amount of rug yarn.
10. I didn't expect to like the actual weaving of overshot but I wanted to do it anyway. Know what? I liked it.
Project from Handwoven March/April 2007, pp. 32-34. Draft is Orange Peel from Josephine E. Estes, Miniature Patterns for Hand Weaving, Part I, 1956, p. 10.

A city man is facing a felony child abuse charge after investigators say he seriously injured his infant child.
Anthony James Bastine, 21, of Hillbilly Drive, was charged Wednesday with felony child abuse/inflicting serious physical injury, Henderson County Sheriff's Office Capt. Steve Carter said in a news release.
The 2-month-old child was taken to Mission Hospital with head injuries and broken bones on Aug. 16. The Sheriff's Office got involved after being notified of the hospitalization by the Henderson County Department of Social Services.
Because of the extent of the injuries, the child was transported to Chapel Hill Medical Center for treatment, Carter said.
Bastine is being held in the Henderson County Detention Facility under a $150,000 secured bond.

The Gaylord Music Library was dedicated in 1960. The Library, like the Tietjens Memorial Music Studio, was designed by the firm of Smith and Entzeroth of St. Louis.
The library was the gift of Catherine Manley Gaylord in memory of her husband, Clifford W. Gaylord, a member of the University's Board of Directors from 1941 until his death in 1953. Mr. Gaylord was born in Illinois in October 1883 and attended the University of Chicago.
He took over his uncle's paper box company in St. Louis and grew the company into what would become America's second-largest paper board products manufacturer. He served as a Lt. Colonel and Assistant Chief of Staff in the 77th division of the American Expeditionary Forces in World War I, and a Brigadier General of the National Guard during World War II. After the war, he served as the Chairman of the Executive Committee of the City Airport Commission, and the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the St. Louis Chamber of Commerce. He also made contributions to the Red Cross and the Saint Louis Symphony Society.

Recently I stumbled upon a collection of videos from TedTalks called LifeHack. At first I laughed a little about the idea that someone could actually "hack" their life. What do programmers disrupting computer systems and stealing information have to do with improving your day to day life? The answer to my uninformed question is nothing.
For many people hacking has a completely different meaning. Instead of doing harm, the essence of hacking is a creative act. It is "a simple solution that accomplishes a goal without changing the system". It is often quick and inelegant but at the same time very powerful and with lasting effects. For a wonderful take on this idea check out this video (not part of the LifeHacks series but should be :) ):
I would like to offer one simple hack that I think is a good for all of us to do on a semi-regular basis – update your resume and have someone look it over.
Even if you are currently employed it is a smart to periodically update your resume with new skills or projects you have completed. And if you can get it reviewed by someone with resume creating skills -all the better.
At KRL we have a service called Brainfuse where you can have your resume and cover letter reviewed for free within 24 hours. The skilled resume reviewers at Brainfuse will give you tips and suggestions on how to make your personal resume the best it can be.
To give it a try go to:
And click on Brainfuse.
Once there click on the link Adult Learners in the main navigation bar near the top of the screen and then click on the link for Writing a Winning Resume and upload your files. A professional resume writer will then get back to you.
How do you lifehack at the library let us know in the comments below…

|Minimal standard terminology for digestive endoscopy: results of prospective testing and validation in the GASTER project.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 10774976 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS: Standardization of the endoscopic report is a key issue for future research in the field of digestive endoscopy. The Minimal Standard Terminology (MST) has been proposed by the European Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) as a structured language for production of computerized endoscopic reports. The aim of this study was to validate version 1.0 of this terminology prospectively, by collecting cases in a multicenter, multilingual trial. METHODS: Endoscopic cases (esophagogastroduodenoscopy [EGD], colonoscopy, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography [ERCP]) were prospectively collected in nine university hospitals in Europe, using the same software. Reports were produced in the local language, but the software allowed comparison of reports between languages, and global analysis of the database. Outcome measures were the adequacy of terms proposed in the MST to describe "reasons for performing an endoscopy", "findings", and "endoscopic diagnoses", frequency of use and content of free-text fields, and types of lesions described. RESULTS: A total of 6,232 reports were analyzed, including 3,447 gastroscopies, 1,743 colonoscopies, and 1,042 ERCPs. Overall, terms originally contained in the MST were adequate to describe fully 91.0% of all examinations where "reasons for endoscopy" were described, 99.5 % of examinations where "findings" were described, 95.8% of all examinations containing descriptions of "endoscopic diagnosis", 98.9% of examinations containing descriptions of "additional diagnostic procedures", and 94.8 % of examinations containing descriptions of "additional therapeutic procedures". Free-text fields were only used in the other cases (less than 5% of cases in average). CONCLUSIONS: The MST appeared adequate to cover a large part of routine endoscopy reports, and could thus be used as a tool for standardization of endoscopic reports in clinical practice. The latter could be significantly improved by the use of a structured and standardized terminology for the production of endoscopic reports.

It's the week after and across the nation Americans are taking stock of the elections and what they mean for us. It seems to be a good time to reflect on one of the core tenets of our democracy - the "social contract." Articulated by John Locke, an 18th century political philosopher, the social contract sought to place the individual in relationship with the governing principles of his age, that of subject to ruler. For Locke, the core of the contract was his nation of a commonwealth of men joined together to protect their natural, or civil rights.
In a time when the power of the monarch remained pre-eminent, this singular emphasis on right was appropriate. Yet, in the year 2012 it appears badly out of step with the current needs of a democracy, because in the struggle for our civil rights we have badly damaged our sense of civic obligation.
In contemporary terms, I would argue that the social contract has more do with the balancing of rights and obligations - or, do we take more than we give? And this past election posed that question most cogently. I heard, saw, and read enough about our rights and little enough of our obligations. In the argument over fiscal accountability, the immediate reaction was to point the finger at the other party and justify our own government largess.
The cold, hard fact is that we all get something from the government. I benefited immeasurably from the G.

Not dumb animals
It is an act against nature to keep dogs tied up all the time. But that doesn't bother Doña Ana County Animal Control officials. The county animal control ordinance requires "structurally-sound, weather proof (waterproof) enclosure" for all dogs habitually kept outside. That requirement is being ignored (Section 6-12 (6) ). Doña Ana County is practicing flagrante delicto against helpless, restrained dogs, who can love us unconditionally, living without hope, only to be released by death. Dogs are anything but "dumb animals."

Who's a fool?
In the Nov. 16 edition of the Sun-News Your Views, Tony Mitchell expresses "his" view that any American who voted for Barack Obama is a fool. An interesting choice of terms, given that Mr. Mitchell claims to have read this in a Prague newspaper from the Czech Republic.
A Google check will reveal that the original alleged story was attributed to the Prager Zeitungon. This newspaper does not exist. There is, however, a German weekly newspaper with a similar name, the Prager Zeitung. This paper, however, only covers local news and there is no record of it or any other newspaper carrying this story. thefactfinder.com and snopes.com reveal that this message was first posted on Dec. 19, 2009 on professoroflife101.blogspot.com, a blog that is no longer functional. Further, this posting made charges against President Obama about his conduct before, during and after the successful termination of Osama bin Laden. These claims have long since been proven false or misleading.
As a veteran, I am saddened that political hacks and self-serving bloggers use the bravery of those serving in our military to craft some narrow political agenda. As a retired educator, I am also saddened that our society seems to have substituted propaganda for serious thinking and dialog. I hope Mr. Mitchell, and politicians of every stripe, will broaden their research before jumping to conclusions that may not be supported by facts. Most importantly, Mr. Mitchell, the freedom to vote is a hard-fought right and duty that only a fool would criticize others for exercising.

Ah yes, those silver-tongue devils of the range can offer such eloquence in their delivery of a comment that sometimes is even genuinely intended as a compliment. Honestly, they can't help themselves. They are so full of humorous sarcasm for each other, any female that might get in the way is only fair game.
However, there is a train of thought among the women folk yoked to these charmers that perhaps the word combination "cowboy compliment" is an oxymoron of the Western kind.
Seasonal weather seems to bring on trite quips that for whatever reason they just can't seem to pass up.
"You don't sweat much for a fat girl." Or "That ole gal is fat enough to keep me warm for the winter." To which his wife would inquire if he thought she needed help in keeping him warm. "Not much, just occasionally," he'd respond with blind arrogance.
Working cattle together is a notorious catalyst for the best, or worst, of their back-handed compliments.
"I worked those cows all by myself and couldn't have gotten done it without Harley (the dog) and Elaine (the wife)."
Another cowboy from a completely different time zone, mentioned that Rita (the dog) and Lynn (the wife) were pretty good help. When asked why Rita got top billing, he quickly replied, "Because she's a pretty smart dog."
And always, there is the insulting insinuation that the horse he's trying to sell is gentle but doesn't know much because "He was a woman's horse, you know."
Inquiring after the cowboy's "lovely wife" will get a dry-witted response of "You do know I'm married to Anna May, right?"
At the end of a long hard day of work, he'll venture to risk his life by feigning sincerity and asking, "You're all dirty. Did you fall down?"
Aging brings on another level of veiled "compliments" meant to entertain or insult and sometimes it's hard to tell the difference.
Telling the lady she looks good with wrinkles, I guarantee will not win her loyalty or affection. Not now, not ever. Mentioning that she "looks good for her age" isn't heading in the right direction either. Then there is always a bold one in the crowd that will have the nerve to call the over-50 gal a "gray panther" and suggest her memory loss hasn't affected her personality much.
Never one to not appreciate the ability of left-handed witty insult that leaves you laughing heartedly, I was recently told a story that may top the list.
The rancher's wife in all her daily work drudgery joined her husband who was visiting with a man that had just driven up to the ranch headquarters. The rancher introduced her saying, "Mark, this is my wife Diane." With her usual quippy sense of humor, Diane responded with an ornery grin as she shook the visitor's hand, "Nice to meet you. And for the record, I'm his second wife, but obviously I'm the trophy wife."
The visitor resumed leaning on the hood of the pickup where they had gathered to visit and rolled a toothpick around between his lips as he gave thought to his response. And then without missing a beat he said, "It does make you wonder what the first one looked like."

Early health care can help address issues to better prepare kids for school, advocates say, yet the number of young children without insurance has increased in recent years, both in York County and across the state.
Close to 400 York County children, from babies to age 4, were without health insurance in 2010, an increase of about 100 from the previous year, according to Pennsylvania Partnerships for Children's annual School Readiness report.
That's about 1.5 percent of the county's children, lower than the state's 5.2 percent, the report says.
It's a relatively small number, but because Pennsylvania is a "universal coverage state" for children, there's no reason any children should be without health insurance, said Michael Race, spokesman for the nonprofit.
The school readiness report looks at data on topics such as poverty, health care and early intervention services to see how well Pennsylvania's children are being prepared for school. The 2012 report, released Tuesday, showed many efforts have slowed or stalled in recent years.
Pennsylvania lost ground in the area of health care, the report says, both in the number of uninsured young children and the number receiving public health insurance, which decreased.
Between private insurance, the state Children's Health Insurance Program, or CHIP, and Medicaid, all children are eligible for some sort of insurance, Race said, so the number of uninsured children shows an issue with outreach.
"Obviously there's more that needs to be done ... to make families aware of their options for getting their children insured," he said.
Jenny Englerth, chief executive officer at Family First Health, said the organization runs into uninsured children more often than it would expect. Reasons include that some families don't understand that even though parents might not be eligible for some forms of assistance, their children might be.
A CHIP requirement that a child be uninsured for six months before becoming eligible also poses a barrier, she said. Families tend to seek CHIP right away if they lose health insurance, she said, but during the wait can move on or forget until it becomes urgent.
All Family First Health staff members know that no children should be coming to them uninsured, she said, and so they talk to those families about their options.
Health and education
Good preventative medical care can identify issues, both physical and behavioral, that can help put a child on the path to academic success, Race said. It can also save money later through reduced special education or remediation costs, he said.
"The more we do up front to give kids a solid foundation ... the more money we all save later on as they go through school," he said.
Englerth said it's important for young children to see doctors regularly because doctors can pick up on early learning challenges, such as speech or motor skills not progressing on track.
"Those challenges can be addressed well before they get into the classroom," she said.
Well-child checkups are about more than just getting immunizations, she said.
"We're really assessing early learning and development so we can support that child becoming the best learner they can possibly be and (being) ready for school when it's time to go," she said.
Children's insurance options
CHIP, Pennsylvania's Children's Health Insurance Program, is available to all uninsured children and teens who are not eligible for or enrolled in Medical Assistance, according to the program website. Learn more at www.chipcoverspakids.com.
Information on Medicaid is available on the state Department of Public Welfare website at www.dpw.state.pa.us. Click on "for children" and then "HealthCare/Medical Assistance."
Learn more about health care coverage programs in Pennsylvania at www.insurekidsnow.gov or by calling 1-877-543-7669.
By the numbers
Here's a look at some York County statistics from the 2012 School Readiness report from Pennsylvania Partnerships for Children:
Children, birth to age 4, without health insurance:
297 in 2009
392 in 2010
Children funded by public health insurance:
12,562 in June 2011
11,344 in June 2012
Spaces available in high-quality child care:
476 in 2011
528 in 2012
Children, age 3 and 4, in publicly funded pre-kindergarten:
922, or 8.5 percent, in 2010-11
920, or 8.5 percent, in 2011-12

Judge orders Florida's military votes counted
Dec. 9, 2000: WND was first among the American media to report the judicial reinstatement of many previously disqualified military absentee ballots in Florida.
"It is truly an unfortunate circumstance when a citizen of the United States is denied the fundamental right to vote, whether residing in one of the several states or residing overseas," U.S. District Judge Lacey Collier wrote in his ruling. "It is even more unfortunate when a vote cast by a member of the armed forces serving abroad is rejected for no legitimate or compelling reason."
"It is unfortunate that Florida will accept an overseas absentee ballot with an unsworn, handwritten date, yet questions the oath, under penalty of perjury, of many of its service men and women," Collier said. "The Court reminds the local canvassing boards … that their job is to accept votes, not reject them."
According to unofficial tallies, 1,547 overseas absentee ballots – about 40 percent of the total Florida received – were thrown out by county elections workers.

When U.S. business owners diversify overseas, they must adjust to foreign accounting systems. That's not so simple, says Robert Davies, president and CEO of Software Business Technology (SBT), a Sausalito, Calif., manufacturer that has been involved in joint ventures and other arrangements in both Eastern and Western Europe.
Case in point: in Poland, where SBT recently concluded a software-licensing arrangement, most business managers lacked the accounting wherewithal to handle forecasting, budgeting, inventory management, and other key matters. "Accounting rules there were designed to maintain secrecy," Davies explains.
To avoid accounting misunderstandings that could hurt your bottom line, Davies recommends that you --
* Establish a relationship with a local business partner who understands the country's rules. "We have dealings in 70 countries, and there's no way under the sun we could stay current on accounting requirements, especially in places like the United Kingdom, Germany, and Australia, where rules are as rigorous as ours," says Davies. In Poland he relies on SBT's licensing partner, Torun-Pacific, to handle day-to-day financial reporting.
* Be prepared to educate your foreign partners, licensers, and employees about U.S. accounting norms, even as you're learning the way their systems work. "In Poland, where payroll used to be written up behind closed doors, it took people quite a while to get used to U.S. attitudes about such matters as accurate, timely financial communication," recalls Davies.
* Avoid miscommunication by using a single accounting-software package for your entire company and then modifying it by country, as necessary. In Poland, where accounting differences even include the lack of decimal points, it took SBT two years to adjust its own business-software package.
* Assign a top finance officer to research and supervise all financial-reporting and accounting matters relating to foreign ventures. But don't expect miracles: "When we expanded into Ireland, we researched every angle of the tax and accounting laws before we set up our deal," says Davies, "and we still lost money." -- Jill Andresky Fraser* * *
