Article: Catheter-Based Treatment for Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke Ineligible for Intravenous Thrombolysis[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We present our single-center experience using catheter-based therapy for acute ischemic stroke patients who were not candidates for intravenous thrombolytic therapy. Neurologic outcomes were assessed in patients with acute ischemic stroke, ineligible for intravenous thrombolysis, treated with an emergent catheter-based therapy. Nonparametric analysis of neurological outcomes demonstrated a benefit in National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) at long-term follow-up (P=0.036). Independence in daily activities and improvement in NIHSS of > or =4 points were achieved in 38% and 56% of patients, respectively. Four patients (25%) died, including 2 patients (12.5%) who died from intracranial hemorrhage. Catheter-based treatment offers a promising treatment strategy in patients with acute ischemic stroke ineligible for intravenous thrombolysis.

ABSTRACT: Angioplasty and stent placement have become accepted alternatives to surgery in many vascular territories. The most recent application of percutaneous intervention has been to explore its clinical utility and safety for stroke prevention in carotid arteries. Over the past 8 years, from January 1994 until Nov 2002, we performed 449 elective carotid stent procedures in 426 patients and in 481 vessels. Informed consent was obtained from each patient. Success was achieved in 97.3% of the patients treated. After one month of follow-up, 12 (2.8%) patients experienced stroke or death. After an average of 2.8 ± 1.7 years (range 1 month to 8.8 years) of follow-up, restenosis was found in 11 (2.6%) patients and was treated with balloon angioplasty. Our results, in a predominantly high-risk surgery group of patients, suggest that carotid stent placement is a viable treatment alternative to conventional surgery. It is likely that as the technology continues to evolve, the procedural risks of stroke and death will be minimized by embolic protection devices, making carotid stenting an option for low-risk surgical patients.
Article: The five Ps of acute ischemic stroke treatment: Parenchyma, pipes, perfusion, penumbra, and prevention of complications[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Stroke is a treatable disease. Despite the therapeutic nihilism of the past, the advent of thrombolysis has changed the way stroke treatment is approached. Acute ischemic stroke is a challenging and heterogeneous disease, and treatment must be based on an understanding of the underlying pathophysiology of ischemia. Interventions are designed to improve neuronal salvage and outcome. The underlying tenets of stroke therapy focus on the brain parenchyma, arterial flow (pipes), perfusion, the ischemic milieu or penumbra, and prevention of complications. This article focuses on the practical issues of ischemic stroke care with a brief review of supporting literature.

Article: Early Dramatic Recovery During Intravenous Tissue Plasminogen Activator Infusion Clinical Pattern and Outcome in Acute Middle Cerebral Artery Stroke[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Acute-stroke patients receiving standard intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) have been noted to experience early dramatic recoveries. The prevalence, clinical characteristics, and outcome of patients experiencing dramatic recovery is not well described. We prospectively studied all patients presenting with acute middle cerebral artery (MCA) stroke syndromes and transcranial Doppler (TCD) evidence of an MCA obstruction. All patients received intravenous tPA per the National Institute of Neurological and Communicative Disorders and Stroke protocol, with serial National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores and continuous TCD monitoring. Dramatic recovery was defined as an improvement of > or =10 NIHSS points or a decrease to an NIHSS score of < or =3 by the end of infusion. Outcome at the end of infusion, at 24 hours, and at long-term follow-up were obtained. The timing and pattern of deficit recovery during dramatic recovery was also studied. Dramatic recovery occurred in 22% of all patients. Compared with patients who did not experience dramatic recovery, those patients who did had significantly lower end-infusion NIHSS (median 2 and range 0 to 16 for dramatic-recovery patients versus median 17 and range 6 to 35 for non-dramatic-recovery patients, P<0.01) and 24-hour NIHSS (median 2 and range 0 to 16 for dramatic-recovery patients versus median 13 and range 2 to 35 for non-dramatic-recovery patients, P<0.01). A long-term modified Rankin Score benefit was noted (median 1 and range 0 to 6 for dramatic-recovery patients versus median 4 and range 0 to 6 for non-dramatic-recovery patients, P<0.01). Baseline clinical characteristics were similar. The only difference was improved TCD-determined flow values at the end of infusion (normal restoration of flow was 58% in dramatic-recovery patients versus 14% in non-dramatic-recovery patients, P<0.01). A characteristic pattern of recovery of deficit was noted. Early dramatic recovery in acute MCA stroke patients treated with intravenous tPA is relatively frequent. The benefit of dramatic recovery is maintained at 24 hours and over the long term. TCD monitoring suggests that dramatic recovery is a result of early restoration of MCA flow during the tPA infusion. The consistent pattern of early clinical recovery may help explain the mechanisms by which thrombolysis improves outcome and could suggest targets for enhancing the therapeutic effect of intravenous tPA.
Article: Intravenous Tissue Plasminogen Activator and Flow Improvement in Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients with Internal Carotid Artery Occlusion[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: It has been suggested that intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (TPA) would not lyse the large thrombus associated with internal carotid artery (ICA) occlusion and, therefore, would be ineffective in this setting. Vascular imaging, safety, and outcome of TPA therapy for ICA occlusion is not well described. Our goal was to determine the site of occlusion, early recanalization after TPA infusion, and its relationship to outcome. We reviewed our database of all stroke patients treated with i.v. TPA between July 1997 and July 1999. We identified all cases with carotid occlusion suggested by transcranial Doppler (TCD) and angiography. Occlusion and recanalization were assessed by site including proximal ICA (prICA), terminal ICA (tICA), and middle cerebral artery (MCA). Baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores and follow-up Rankin scores were obtained. We treated 20 patients with carotid occlusion (age 63.9 +/- 10.8 years, 11 males, 9 females). Time to TPA infusion after stroke onset was 128 +/- 66 minutes. Baseline NIHSS scores were 16.4 +/- 5.4. Time to follow-up was 3.5 +/- 4.9 months (2 patients were lost to follow-up). Occlusion sites were prICA 40%, tICA 70%, and concurrent MCA 45%. Multiple sites were involved in 10/20 patients (50%). Among patients with pretreatment and posttreatment vascular imaging studies (n = 18), recanalization in the prICA and tICA was complete in 10%, partial in 16%, and none in 74%. MCA recanalization was complete in 35%, partial in 24%, and none in 41%. At follow-up, Rankin 0-1 was found in 8 patients (44%), Rankin 2-3 in 3 (17%), and Rankin 4-5 in 3 (17%). Mortality was 22% (n = 4) including 1 fatal intracerebral hemorrhage. Improvement was closely related to resumption of MCA flow (P < .01). Most patients did not recanalize their ICA occlusion after intravenous TPA therapy. However, recanalization of associated proximal MCA clot, found in 45% of our patients, or improved MCA collateral flow was strongly associated with good outcome.
Article: Felberg, R.A. et al. Cell death in experimental intracerebral hemorrhage: the 'black hole' model of hemorrhagic damage. Ann. Neurol. 51, 517-524[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) has a poor prognosis that may be the consequence of the hematoma's effect on adjacent and remote brain regions. Little is known about the mechanism, location, and severity of such effects. In this study, rats subjected to intracerebral blood injection were examined at 100 days. Stereology (neuronal count and density) and volume measures in the perihematoma rim, the adjacent and overlying brain, and the substantia nigra pars reticulata (SNr) were compared with contralateral brain regions at 100 days and the perihemorrhage region at 24 hours and 7 days. In addition, cytochrome c release was investigated at 24 hours, 3 days, and 7 days. At 100 days, post-ICH rats showed no difference in neuronal density in the perihemorrhagic scar region or regions of the striatum immediately surrounding and distal to the perihemorrhage scar. The cell density index in the ipsilateral field was 16.2 +/- 3.8 versus the contralateral control field of 15.6 +/- 3.2 (not significant). Volume measurements of the ipsilateral striatum revealed a 20% decrease that was compensated by an increase in ipsilateral ventricular size. The area of the initial ICH as measured by magnetic resonance imaging correlated with the degree of atrophy. In the region immediately surrounding the hematoma, cytochrome c immunoreactivity increased at 24 hours and 3 days, and returned toward baseline by day 7. At 24 hours, stereology in the peri-ICH region showed decreased density in the region where cytochrome c immunoreactivity was the highest. Neuronal density of the ipsilateral SNr was significantly less than the contralateral side (9.6 +/- 1.9 vs 11.6 +/- 2.3). Histologic damage from ICH occurred mainly in the immediate perihemorrhage region. Except for SNr, we found no evidence of neuronal loss in distal regions. We have termed this continued destruction of neurons, which occurs over at least 3 days as the neurons come into proximity to the hematoma, the "black hole" model of hemorrhagic damage.

Article: Provisional stenting for symptomatic intracranial stenosis using a multidisciplinary team: acute results and one-year outcome
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Only a small minority of acute stroke patients receive approved acute stroke therapy. We performed a community and professional behavioral intervention project to increase the proportion of stroke patients treated with approved acute stroke therapy. This study used a quasi-experimental design. Intervention and comparison communities were compared at baseline and during educational intervention. The communities were based in 5 nonurban East Texas counties. The multilevel intervention worked with hospitals and community physicians while changing the stroke identification skills, outcome expectations, and social norms of community residents. The primary goal was to increase the proportion of patients treated with intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rTPA) from 1% to 6% of all cerebrovascular events in the intervention community. We prospectively evaluated 1733 patients and validated 1189 cerebrovascular events. Intravenous rTPA treatment increased from 1.38% to 5.75% among all cerebrovascular event patients in the intervention community (P=0.01) compared with a change from 0.49% to 0.55% in the comparison community (P=1.00). Among the ischemic stroke patients, an increase from 2.21% to 8.65% was noted in the intervention community (P=0.02). The comparison group did not appreciably change (0.71% to 0.86%, P=1.00). Of eligible intravenous rTPA candidates, treatment increased in the intervention community from 14% to 52% (P=0.003) and was unchanged in the comparison community (7% to 6%, P=1.00). An aggressive, multilevel stroke educational intervention program can increase delivery of acute stroke therapy. This may have important public health implications for reducing disability on a national level.
Article: Screening for Intracranial Stenosis With Transcranial Doppler: The Accuracy of Mean Flow Velocity Thresholds[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Patients with 50% intracranial arterial stenosis may require more intensive therapies for stroke prevention. Transcranial Doppler (TCD) is a convenient noninvasive screen for intracranial stenosis. The accuracy of different mean flow velocity (MFV) thresholds for determining the degree of stenosis remains uncertain. The authors prospectively compared the accuracy of TCD criteria and MFV thresholds to magnetic resonance, computed tomography, and digital subtraction angiography in patients with symptoms of recent or remote stroke or transient ischemic attack. Stenosis on angiography was measured as 0%, < 50%, or > or = 50% diameter reduction. Of 136 consecutive patients, 33 (24%) had distal internal carotid artery (ICA), middle cerebral artery (MCA), posterior cerebral artery, or basilar artery stenosis on angiography (14 patients [10%] were excluded due to incomplete TCD examinations, mainly from a lack of temporal windows). TCD showed 31 true-positive, 9 false-positive, 2 false-negative, and 94 true-negative studies. For all vessels, TCD had a sensitivity of 93.9% (confidence interval [CI] = 89%-98%), a specificity of 91.2% (CI = 87%-96%), a positive predictive value (PPV) of 77.5%, and a negative predictive value (NPV) of 97.9%. The trade-off in sensitivity and specificity for MCA MFV thresholds was as follows: MFV > or = 80 cm/s had a sensitivity of 100%, a specificity of 96.9% (CI = 94%-99%), a PPV of 84%, and an NPV of 100%. MFV > or = 100 cm/s had a sensitivity of 100%, a specificity of 97.9% (CI = 96%-99%), a PPV of 88.8%, and an NPV of 94.9%. MFV > or = 120 cm/s had a sensitivity of 68.7% (CI = 61%-78%), a specificity of 100%, a PPV of 100%, and an NPV of 94.9%. Reasons for false-positive findings include collateralization of flow in the presence of proximal ICA stenosis and prestenotic to stenotic MCA velocity ratios of 1: < or = 2. TCD is both sensitive and specific in identifying > or = 50% intracranial arterial stenosis. A MFV threshold cutoff of 100 cm/s has an optimal sensitivity and specificity trade-off for > or = 50% MCA stenosis. To help avoid false-positive results, a prestenotic to stenotic MCA velocity ratio of 1: > or = 2 should be used in addition to the MFV threshold.

ABSTRACT: To evaluate the practice patterns for stroke care in rural emergency departments (ED). The authors prospectively evaluated clinical practice decisions for all ED patients in two non-urban East Texas communities using active and passive surveillance methods. Data collected included demographics, risk factors, symptoms, and treatment. Data analysis consisted of descriptive statistics and logistic regression analysis. During the study period, 429 patients presented with validated strokes. Risk factors included hypertension (65%), previous stroke (41%), coronary artery disease (33%), diabetes (25%), current smoking (17%), and atrial fibrillation (11%). In the ED, neurology consultation occurred in 32%, head CT in 88%, and ECG in 85%. Heparin was used in 9%, and 5% received aspirin. Blood pressure was lowered in 19% from a mean high of 189(+/-38)/97(+/-26), average reduction 34 points (18%) systolic. Motor symptoms were more likely to prompt a neurology consultation (OR = 2.47). Heparin was used more commonly for patients with atrial fibrillation (OR = 2.93). Socioeconomic factors did not alter care. IV recombinant tissue plasminogen activator was used in 1.4% of ischemic stroke cases. Acute stroke care in this representative non-urban community frequently does not follow published guidelines or clinical trial results. Whereas a high percentage of patients receive CT, aggressive blood pressure treatment occurs commonly and at pressures below current recommendations. The use of heparin is common, more so than aspirin treatment. These facts argue for educational interventions aimed at non-urban physicians to improve evidence-based medical practice.

ABSTRACT: No proven neuroprotective treatment exists for ischemic brain injury after cardiac arrest. Mild-to-moderate induced hypothermia (MIH) is effective in animal models. A safety and feasibility trial was designed to evaluate mild-to-moderate induced hypothermia by use of external cooling blankets after cardiac arrest. Inclusion criteria were return of spontaneous circulation within 60 minutes of advanced cardiac life support, hypothermia initiated within 90 minutes, persistent coma, and lack of acute myocardial infarction or unstable dysrhythmia. Hypothermia to 33 degrees C was maintained for 24 hours followed by passive rewarming. Nine patients were prospectively enrolled. Mean time from advanced cardiac life support to return of spontaneous circulation was 11 minutes (range 3 to 30); advanced cardiac life support to initiation of hypothermia was 78 minutes (range 40 to 109); achieving 33 degrees C took 301 minutes (range 90 to 690). Three patients completely recovered, and 1 had partial neurological recovery. One patient developed unstable cardiac dysrhythmia. No other unexpected complications occurred. Mild-to-moderate induced hypothermia after cardiac arrest is feasible and safe. However, external cooling is slow and imprecise. Efforts to speed the start of cooling and to improve the cooling process are needed.
Article: A Broad Diagnostic Battery for Bedside Transcranial Doppler to Detect Flow Changes With Internal Carotid Artery Stenosis or Occlusion[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The authors establish accuracy parameters of a broad diagnostic battery for bedside transcranial Doppler (TCD) to detect flow changes due to internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis or occlusion. The authors prospectively studied consecutive patients with stroke or transient ischemic attack referred for TCD. TCD was performed and interpreted at bedside using a standard insonation protocol. A broad diagnostic battery included major criteria: collateral flow signals, abnormal siphon or terminal carotid signals, and delayed systolic flow acceleration in the middle cerebral artery. Minor criteria included a unilateral decrease in pulsatility index (< or = 0.6 or < or = 70% of contralateral side), flow diversion signs, and compensatory velocity increase. Angiography or carotid duplex ultrasound (CDU) was used to grade the degree of carotid stenosis using North American criteria. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) of TCD findings were determined. Seven hundred and twenty patients underwent TCD, of whom 517 (256 men and 261 women) had angiography and/or CDU within 8.8 +/- 0.9 days. Age was 63.1 +/- 15.7 years. For a 70% to 99% carotid stenosis or occlusion, TCD had sensitivity of 79.4%, specificity of 86.2%, PPV of 57.0%, NPV of 94.8%, and accuracy of 84.7%. For a 50% to 99% carotid stenosis or occlusion, TCD had sensitivity of 67.5%, specificity of 83.9%, PPV of 54.5%, NPV of 90.0%, and accuracy of 81.6%. TCD detected intracranial carotid lesions with 84.9% accuracy and extracranial carotid lesions with 84.4% accuracy (sensitivity of 88% and 79%, specificity of 85% and 86%, PPV of 24% and 54%, and NPV of 99% and 95%, respectively). The prevalence of the ophthalmic artery flow reversal was 36.4% in patients with > or = 70% stenosis or occlusion. If present, this finding indicated a proximal ICA lesion location in 97% of these patients. In symptomatic patients, bedside TCD can accurately detect flow changes consistent with hemodynamically significant ICA obstruction; however, TCD should not be a substitute for direct carotid evaluation. Because TCD is sensitive and specific for a > or = 70% carotid stenosis or occlusion in both extracranial and intracranial carotid segments, it can be used as a complementary test to refine other imaging findings and detect tandem lesions.

ABSTRACT: We report the case of a 16-year-old Caucasian girl who developed acute onset of left hemiplegia, left hemisensory deficit, and dysarthria. After a negative computed tomographic scan of the brain, the patient was given intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator according to established adult guidelines. The patient experienced a marked improvement within 24 hours. Stroke etiology was determined to be a paradoxical embolus via a patent foramen ovale associated with pelvic vein thrombosis. This case illustrates the importance of early recognition of stroke and the utility of thrombolytics in treating ischemic infarcts in the adolescent population.
Article: Provisional stenting for symptomatic intracranial stenosis using a multidisciplinary approach: Acute results, unexpected benefit, and one-year outcome[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Percutaneous techniques have dramatically changed our approach to coronary and peripheral revascularization. Intracranial atherosclerosis is a highly morbid disease; however, techniques for revascularization are still in evolution. The authors comprise a multidisciplinary team of neurologists, neuroradiologists, and interventional cardiologists who have collaborated in treating fifteen patients with symptomatic intracranial stenosis who have failed medical therapy. The acute success rate (100%) and one-year freedom from death and stroke (93.4%) using balloon angioplasty and provisional stenting are encouraging. A surprising observation in this patient cohort was that 53% of patients had improvement or resolution of a deficit that was chronic and presumed to be permanent and irreversible. This type of chronic but reversible deficit is termed "brain angina". The background, rationale for a multidisciplinary team, techniques, and preliminary results of intracranial angioplasty with provisional stenting are presented.

ABSTRACT: Inhospital placement of patients with mild (National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale [NIHSS] score <8) or moderate (NIHSS 8 through 16) acute strokes is variable. We assessed the outcome of such patients based on intensive care unit (ICU) versus general ward placement. We reviewed 138 consecutive patients admitted within 24 hours of stroke onset to 2 physically adjacent hospitals with different admitting practices. Outcome measures included complication rates, discharge Rankin scale score, hospital discharge placement, costs, and length of stay (LOS). Hospital A, a 626-bed university-affiliated hospital, admitted 43% of mild and moderate strokes (MMS) to an ICU (26% of mild, 74% of moderate), whereas hospital B, a 618-bed community facility, admitted 18% of MMS to an ICU (3% of mild, 45% of moderate; P<0.004). There were no significant differences in outcomes between the 2 hospitals. Analysis of only patients admitted to hospital A, and of all patients, demonstrated that mild stroke patients admitted to the general ward had fewer complications and more favorable discharge Rankin scale scores than similar patients admitted to an ICU. There was no statistically significant difference in LOS, but total room costs for a patient admitted first to the ICU averaged $15 270 versus $3638 for admission directly to the ward. While limited by the retrospective nature of our study, routinely admitting acute MMS patients to an ICU provides no cost or outcomes benefits.

Kris Jenner assumed Jay Z and Beyoncé Knowles skipped her daughter's wedding because they were working.
The 58-year-old reality TV star has hinted she was surprised that the duo opted to enjoy a quiet weekend in the Hamptons instead of traveling to Florence, Italy to watch their close friend Kanye West marry Kim Kardashian last month.
The 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star told Australian radio station KIIS 106.5 FM today (06.10.14): "[I] just assumed they were working."
The 'Holy Grail' hitmaker, 44, and the 'Pretty Hurts' singer were noticeably absent from Kim and Kanye's lavish nuptials, following rumors the groom had asked Jay to be his best man.
But Kris insisted that the high profile couple's decision not to attend didn't affect the celebrations.
She said: "There was so much commotion and excitement, I never really gave that a second thought."
She added: "If you had been there, you would have thought that was the last thing on anyone's mind."
Beyoncé, 32, posted a picture of Kim, 33, Kanye, 37, and their 11-month-old daughter North from their recent Vogue shoot on Instagram shortly after they exchanged vows, with the caption: "Wishing you a lifetime of unconditional love. God bless your beautiful family."
Insiders previously suggested that Jay Z and Beyoncé declined their invitation after her sister, Solange Knowles, attacked him in an elevator at a Met Ball after party in New York City on May 5 because he was allegedly flirting with Kim's close pal Rachel Roy, who was among the guests at the wedding.
A source said: "Jay Z and Beyoncé were invited but didn't come, seemingly to avoid drama from Rachel Roy who was going. In the end, the wedding was full of love and super intimate."
Kris is also friends with Beyoncé's mother, Tina Knowles, and attended her 60th birthday bash in New Orleans, Louisiana, in January.

When I was asked to deliver one of the keynote addresses at the opening of the European Weekend School (EWS) last Thursday, I had to think twice.
The EWS is an international certificate program that is organized annually by the Center for European Studies Students Forum at Boğaziçi University. It is an occasion for students from Turkey and other European countries to meet and discuss issues that are related to European integration. This year's topic was "EU's Chronic Dilemma: Migration." A whole range of knowledgeable academics and policy makers had been asked to present their views. Which point should I make in my kick-off speech?
It was not difficult to find lots of interesting, often repulsive, articles on the scapegoating of migrants by right-wing populists in Europe. With pleasure I read a book called "Who says it's a failure?" on the gap between the perception of a failed integration of migrants in the Netherlands and the reality of thousands of successful new Dutch citizens of Turkish and Moroccan descent.
After a while, I decided that what I wanted to communicate to the students at Boğaziçi should not be based solely on articles and books or my experiences as a member of the European Parliament. Of course, over the years these had helped to deepen and nuance my views. But the fundamentals were shaped much earlier, during my years at primary school in a small city in the south of the Netherlands.
A few years before I was born, my parents moved from one part of the Netherlands to another. No big deal except for the fact that all of a sudden they found themselves being a religious minority. Both of my parents were born and raised as Protestants in a small village. They spoke with a very particular Dutch accent that was not understood in other parts of the country. Because my father could get a job there, they moved to a city where the majority was Catholic and could only smile about their strange dialect.
It is hard to imagine now but in those days, the mid 1950s, Protestants and Catholics lived their own separate lives within well-defined borders. Each had their own schools, trade union and political party. Shopping was done at a grocery store of a co-religionist, marriages between people of different beliefs hardly happened. From cradle to grave, the life of all believers was organized in such a way that they never had to mix with fellow countrymen who went to another church.
It was therefore logical that my parents send me to the only Protestant school on the other side of town despite the fact that there were plenty of other, Catholic schools closer to our house. From day one, my father, a pious but practical man, made it clear what the basics were: My education would be within the Protestant pillar of society, but my future would most probably be in the wider world. For that reason, I was allowed to cross the sectarian line and make friends with everybody, Protestant and Catholic. At home I could speak my parents' dialect, but on the street and at school I should speak impeccable Dutch because that would make it easier to climb the social ladder.
There was one thing my father kept reminding me and my sister of: Go out in the big world, but never forget where you came from. Be proud of your roots and never be afraid to speak out your opinion even if you are in a minority position. Mind you, this was long before social scientists started the debate on integration and assimilation. My parents clearly pushed the first, but strongly objected to the second.
In many ways, my private experiences cannot be compared with the often-traumatic migration of millions to a far away country they don't know. Still, I am sure that, later in life, the basics of my youth made me understand better the preference of migrants, while trying to integrate in Dutch society, to stick to their national traditions and their language. I have never understood the growing obsession among native Dutch with giving up one's cultural and linguistic heritage as the only way for migrants to become "real" citizens.
Trying to cope with migration has never been easy. Not in Turkey, not in Europe. Neither for the ones who moved, nor for the ones who were forced to live with the newcomers. But it helps if early on someone tells you about the importance of sticking to your roots.
I hope the students got the message.

Anne Hardy (born 1970) is a British artist. Her art practice spans photography, sculptural installation and audio.[1] She completed an MA in photography at the Royal College of Art in 2000, having graduated from Cheltenham School of Art in 1993 with a degree in painting. Hardy lives and works in London and is represented by Maureen Paley.
In her sculptural installation work Hardy constructs environments that hover between depiction and abstraction. Staging our encounters with these spaces through careful composition of physical and audio landscapes and precisely controlled perspectives, she immerses us in spaces that are at once functional and illusory.[2]
Hardy used to destroy the structures that she made, they were built in her studio, photographed and then discarded.[3] and these photographs of structures made in her studio were carefully constructed sets, sculptural assemblages of found objects and hand made marks.[4] The materials she uses are often objects or junk which she has found in markets, DIY shops, or urban skips and have included antlers, brightly coloured cables, old Christmas trees, light bulbs, American basketballs, balloons, and scientific glassware as well as everyday building materials.[5]
Other characteristics in her work are unpainted plasterboard on the walls of the rooms and visible foam sealant. Her work Lumber (2003) for example, where a neglected room houses heaps of old Christmas trees which have been hidden from the world and left to decay. Art writer Charlotte Cotton comments, "The skill of making a photograph such as Lumber is to avoid overloading the image with obvious signs and allegory, but to maintain a sense, albeit a fabricated one, that we are looking at an observed rather than a meticulously constructed scene. The space looks like a storeroom for unwanted Christmas trees, but the indoor environoment, the menacing shape of the mound of greenery and the thought of what might lie beneath it make for a compelling hovering between what this place might actually be and the unsettling atmosphere within it."[6]
Hardy's work has been published in Vitamin PH: New Perspectives in Photography (2006) by Phaidon Press and Charlotte Cotton's book The Photograph as Contemporary Art as well as magazines including Dazed & Confused, The Guardian, Photography Now, Tank (magazine) and Art Review. In January 2007, Hardy gave an interview to The Guardian newspaper on the subject of her image Untitled VI (2005).[7]
In March 2007, the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A), London exhibited Anne Hardy's 2005 work Untitled IV (balloons). The V&A bought the image for their collection with the help of the Cecil Beaton art fund. In June 2007, three of Hardy's works, Booth (2006), Untitled IV (balloons) (2005) and Close Range (2006), were exhibited at the 52nd International Venice Biennale art festival. The accompanying New Forest Pavilion exhibition catalogue included the image Outpost (2007) and a critical essay by John Slyce.[8]
In April 2008, Hardy had her first USA solo exhibition in New York at Bellwether Gallery. This was followed with Hardy's work being included in a group show at Gagosian Gallery, New York called Untitled (Vicarious): Photographing the Constructed Object which ran from September until December 2008.[9] Hardy's work was shown in the Helsinki Biennale which ran until 25 January 2009.[10]
In September 2012, Hardy had a solo exhibition at the Secession in Vienna and a substantial monograph was published to accompany the exhibition.[11] [12]
Kunstverein Freiburg hosted a solo exhibition of Anne Hardy in September 2014.[13] comprising a large sculptural installation with audio, as well as photographic works.
In October 2014 - January 2015 Anne Hardys sculptural installation 'Two Joined Fields' was included in the exhibition 'Mirrorcity' at the Hayward Gallery in London, alongside six large photo structures on the Hayward sculpture terraces.[14]
From June 2015-August 2015 she held a solo exhibition at The Common Guild in Glasgow [15]

Illustrator work...
So I am not too comfortable in the cartoony/cutsey area. I personally tend to work more towards the realistic, but here we go. Here is something that I am working on that I would appreciate comments/crits.
Taking an image from my sketchbook and working it in illustrator.
Original sketch

Yeah I can never do cutesy either. It looks like a good first attempt. The colors and linework seem good. The character design doesn't look real considered. You just went with your first sketch--you should probly do a dozen more ideas for what the squid(?) could look like.
Also, the narrative here isn't very clear. Why is the squid looking at him like that? Is the fish sensing his presence just at this moment--if so why didnt he see him sooner?
More specifically, the eyes on both of them make them look like they suffer from severe insomnia.
Oh and is the fish takin a shit??
March 17th, 2011 #3
Yes. Yes it is.
I think the eyes have something to do with my common lack of sleep. I might be projecting a bit.
And I have to agree. It was just a grab from my sketchbook to try to figure out Illustrator.
Thanks for the comment.
March 17th, 2011 #4
Hey there! I know what you means by having a hard time drawing cute stuff...sometimes the simplest things are the hardest things to draw...! ( I think I might have said that at least 5 times over the past 3 days on the forum...!lol... i need to get new ideas....)
but i had a look at your portfolio and I think you achieved it well in the illustration section in howard like the local brew, I also like the face of Bernard and mortimer.
I know you were trying to test out the possibilities of illustrator... wich i'm pretty scared of doing myself.... vectorials and all that jazz... but as far as drawing goes I think youve got a good thing going on already in the pieces i mentioned... Now its up to you to try and convert it into a vectorial drawing. Even though you have to simplify the shapes, keep in mind the lines.
dont know if any of this help but good luck anyways!
March 17th, 2011 #5
Granted it doesn't look really humorous, but...
Well, for the image itself, the inking is the main thing that bothers me. The tentacles, which I would see being the closest to the viewer could have much thicker outlines, and the "head" has that one really thick outline...
If you want both of them (fish and octo-thing) to be in the same level, so to speak, and still have really wide range of outline thickness, at least try to balance it by doing it everywhere equally instead of having one thick outline in one place.
And vector tools really help you to keep the outlines clean, so try to use them."I eat comics and poop stylization"

March 17th, 2011 #6
Thanks much. Something that I am trying to do while bringing in my stuff to illustrator is to keep some of the more sketchy line work. It takes longer, but I want to see how it turns out. I don't want to lose what I liked from the original sketch, but I want it to have the clean illustrator look.
Yeah, I should clean up the line weight.
What do you mean by vector tools? I am doing everything with the pen tool in illustrator. That is kind of a vector tool.
And about the goldfish poop, I was not really wanting the realistic strand coming from the anus. I was hoping for something a bit more subtle and funny.
March 17th, 2011 #7"I eat comics and poop stylization"
♞Sketchbook (Critiques, no compliments please.)
March 17th, 2011 #8
Ah, yeah. To a point that is intentional, but I do still need to go back and smooth some out.
March 17th, 2011 #9
I like the linework in your image. I dont know if its worth the extra effort to make it look sketchy or not--thats up to you.
You can do work like this in photoshop too. I personally cant stand using illustrator. It makes me pull my hair out. The strength of illustrator is those clean lines so if youre not going to use them, then you might as well use photoshop(if you prefer it). But having said that, your lines DO look clean..just with a little bit of character added.
Ok good luck
p.s. You can see what I mean in the images I did in my concept.org portfolio link--the black and white images have lines but its all photoshop.

Sean Miller staying at Arizona
Updated: May 8, 2011, 5:33 PM ETBy Andy Katz | ESPN.com
Maryland made its pitch to Arizona's Sean Miller on Saturday in Las Vegas. But in the end, multiple sources said Miller couldn't see leaving Tucson.
Arizona athletic director Greg Byrne announced after midnight ET Saturday that Miller had agreed to a contract extension. Miller's second season in Tucson finished with a Pac-10 regular-season title and an Elite Eight appearance.
Miller was the top target for Maryland athletic director Kevin Anderson after the sudden retirement of 66-year-old ...

For some, finding employment comes naturally. For others, they may feel
hopeless as they struggle to find work, lack specific job search skills,
or are simply looking for guidance and help. Goodwill's Connection Center
offers a hand up to anyone looking for work.
Located inside select Goodwill stores, Connection Centers offer free, one-on-one career counseling, computer access and training, help writing resumes and filling out applications, interview preparation and more. Hundreds of job seekers find work through our Connection Centers each year.
Current participant in Pre-Vocational Services at Sioux City Main Plant
Aaron's story: I came to Goodwill when I was 17 as part of the year 13 program at my school and then went on to complete my Goodwill habilitation program. In it I learned how to be independent and do things like grocery shopping, riding a bus and managing my money. Now I am involved in Pre-Vocational training at Goodwill which someday could help me get a job in the community. Here they have me working all over the place. I like to work. I load the tables and run the pallet jack. I also clean the bathrooms in the Adult Daycare Program.
Imagine being a young single parent with no high school diploma who cannot find a good paying job, or a teen offender who wants to finish high school but feels left behind. Many youth feel overwhelmed by hardship but want to make a good life for themselves. For these youth, YouthBuild is the answer.
Goodwill's YouthBuild program educates at-risk 16 to 24 year olds for high school credit in an alternative school setting at Goodwill. Students learn accountability, trust, and leadership in a supportive group setting, ultimately earning a high school diploma or equivalent, certified job skills, and a path to employment or education.

Best Local Radio Show Introduction (2006)
Mister Misty, KCOH-AM/1430
It's midnight on Saturday, going into Sunday. It's high time to wind the party down and steer your mind over to matters relaxing and/or spiritual. And there's no better way to do that than to spin your radio dial over to KCOH, where Mister Misty ushers you from party-time to prayer-time with marvelous aplomb. Speaking over a sanctified organ that plays "Misty" for you, the veteran record jock murmurs, soothes and damn near hypnotizes you with his suggestions. "Sit down in your favorite chair, with your favorite person, and fill your favorite glass with your favorite drink," he whispers. In a world where most radio DJs are paid to read cards and then shut the hell up, it's a rare treat to hear one put on a performance -- especially one as good as this.

As I mentioned in a previous post I love art that combines realistic portraits and crazy colour schemes, and the work of Mr Frivolous definitely hits the spot there. But the thing that really interests me about his work is the text. It's almost like a personal graffiti he adds to his drawings, in amongst all the quotes he adds to each piece you'll often find personal notes or declarations scribbled down. I love the piece that has a corner ripped off with a note saying "this bit was crap so I ripped it off" in its place.
In a world where so much art looks virtually the same, it's work that has little bits of personality like that bursting from it that really stands out. I check back in at his website regularly to see if he's added any new pieces, and since Santa Claus is richer than I am I've bookmarked a few of his original drawings for my Christmas wishlist.

"Jubilant" is a word Id use to describe the drawings of Andrew Neyer. The Ohio-based illustrator is a wearer of many hats (including being the Art Director and Head Curator at Yes), and one of them is an illustrator. "One dollar hotdog" refers to the title of Andrews blogger, which is aptly named. His work is so satisfying (like a one dollar hotdog) and feels inclusive and unpretentious (its not like were eating foie gras here).
I love his character design. It's sweet, but not saccharine. The proportions are elongated but dont feel strange. Everyone has an equal chance at happiness, including people, pets, and electronic devices.

Guten Tag! Auf Wiedersehen! That's about as far as my German goes. If only my second-grade German teacher had forced a few more foreign words into my soft young brain. I mean, one day we all made pancakes in class... is that even a German thing? Hmmm.
It's lucky then that my favourite German comic artist Nadine Redlich speaks mostly in pictures! Her drawings are cute, a bit smutty, and only sometimes need a helpful whisper from Google translate. Also her chill new series of "ambient comics" are surprisingly nice to stare at for a while.
Genießen! (that means "enjoy" in German.... I think)

The thing I like most about Mel Stringer's sketchbooks is that they feel like peeking into someone's diary. A diary that's tucked away under a bed with a threatening note doodled on the cover and hearts on the spine. The kind of diary that only your best friend is allowed to look inside, while eating cereal, listening to mix tapes and giving each-other homemade tattoos

Jessie, AKA Pencil Mountain, has so many wonderful drawings that I had a hard time selecting what to feature. Her drawings have a range - some of them are straightforward interactions between characters, while others are less representational and focus on mark making.
With the scope of Jessies work, there seems to be an overarching theme of demise. One person is sending another to the grave, and even some of the flora seem like its wilting. My favorite part of her drawings are the skulls, gravestones (I think) that are peppered throughout her more abstracted works.

Those long, limber bodies floating in black pencil - so beautiful. Move your nose in close to the screen, so you can notice the details. See that lady gently reach out for the ankles of another swimmer? Maybe she'd like to just hold on, close her eyes for a bit, feel the water rush past every inch of her skin. Gosh I'd love some warm ocean and a deserted beach right now!
This is my favourite drawing by Laura Geurten but she has other lovely pictures that deserve a peek, too.

I dont like the fact that sakura is crying :/ i understand but i makes her look like a bad ninja, who in a battel and action situatiation, cant keep her head cler and fokus and the action
Bisides that :) love it
| RoseyDevlin chapter 22 . 4/15/2015
It was very sweet and touching, i really liked the scene before Sasuke and Sakura were almost dying :,) Actually i thought Naruto would bump into Karin to ask her help to track Sasuke and Sakura cause it was weird that Karin only came once and then she was gone, oh well.
| RoseyDevlin chapter 18 . 4/14/2015
friggin Karin came and automatically ruined everything -sigh- he told Karin to leave cause he doesn't want Karin to hurt Sakura, cause he knows Karin is super crazy over him and if Karin were to hurt her then Sasuke woudn't hold back and would kill her v.v thats what i think
| RoseyDevlin chapter 13 . 4/14/2015
Nah Sasuke wasn't OOC, if thats what it takes to save her then he would do it, thats how i see. I remember the same situation like that in Kaze no Stigma where the guy had to use mouth to mouth in order to give her the cure cause she was unconcious herself and it was the only way to save her :)
| RoseyDevlin chapter 12 . 4/13/2015
Omg your such a meanie, you keep sacrificing Sakura, she again started to recover and then you do this T_T
not that i don't enjoy it but this has been happening a lot already in this fic xD Don't keep breaking my heart like that! :c

Aw hell no, i can't see Sasuke actually killing Sakura, if he did try he would stop cause he cares for her too much T-T sometimes i wonder what would have happened if Naruto and Kakashi hadn't arrived to save Sakura from Sasuke...surely Sasuke would feel sadness, emptiness and guilt if he did succeed. I imagine Sasuke crying over Sakura as he holds her dead body, he realized it too late just how much he loves her...they could have had their happy ending with their daughter Sarada :,( im happy we got a happy ending in the canon manga tho cause that scene is too heartbreaking...

Software Engineering, Project Management, and Effectiveness
The MSDN Library is the primary showcase of our Microsoft product documentation. It's a treasure trove of gems. The problem is, if you don't know where to look, sometimes finding the documentation you're looking for can be a challenge. Part of your success hinges on finding the right information, so let's see what we can do about that.
I put together a mockup of the MSDN Library Home for the MSDN Library team as an example of one way to showcase some key starting points for some popular technologies on the MSDN Library Home. Here is the model:
Here are some key points about the model:
Special Thanks … Special thanks to the following people for helping me find the main starting points and put the frame together: Alik Levin, Eric Peterson, Jesse Liberty, Joe Stagner, Jon Galloway, Paul Enfield, Pete Brown, Rey Bango, Rob Boucher, Sam Landstrom, Scott Hanselman, Tim Teebken, Wade Pickett
If you have thoughts on the model, send my way.
Looks great, could you add "Products", so if you wanted to get to the VS2010 doc home page or Expression Blend home page it'd be an easy link? Thanks!
@ Paul -- I think that makes sense. At a high-level, I think I would frame it as platform, tools, and languages. The technologies above would fall under platform, VS/Expression would fall under tools, and then languages would list out C#, VB.NET, F#, etc.
I think it would be a matter of chunking up my Microsoft App Platform Map.
We really appreciate all of the efforts to develop taxonomies around the MSDN and patterns group content. Makes it MUCH easier to locate the information -- especially for more junior developers. One thing we have been doing is leveraging Pivot to make navigating various developer content datasets easier. For example, we created an internal Pivot application using your previous ASP.NET Developer Guidance Map. My question is this: why doesn't Microsoft leverage Pivot more for navigating data sets like MSDN, etc?
@ Doug -- Pivot is definitely a fun technology and will move the ball forward for visualizing information. The MSDN team has been testing using Pivot on some of their data sets. Check out the MSDN Magazine and test their "Launch the Pivot Viewer".
Can you help me with this...
I am building a windows application and i am facing this error "Unable to install or run the application. The application require that assembly Microsoft.SqlServer.DataProfilingTask Version 10.0.0.0 be installed in the Global Assembly Cache (GAC) first." when i try to install it to another machine with Windows XP OS.
Another problem that i am facing is of remote connectivity. previously when the application got sucessfully installed it did not connect to the Server machiene with Windows server 2003 R2 OS. The firewall is off, the connection string works fine but still non of the other machien is being connected to the SQL Server Instance.

This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Richard Wayne Penniman – a founding father of rock 'n' roll as Little Richard – turns 75 today.
Little Richard has been so wildly flamboyant for so long, it's easy to play him off like a joke. (As in that GEICO commercial... "Mashed potatoes, gravy and cranberry sauce...whoo-hooo!")
But Little Richard wasn't no joke. Not to Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, the Everly Brothers, Gene Vincent or the Beatles, all of whom covered hits of his.
(Wanna hear the Beatles doing "Lucille," with Paul McCartney wailing his ass off? Click here. Recorded for the BBC in 1963, this track is available on the double-CD "Live at the BBC.")
So bow down. Little Richard is a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Songwriters Hall of Fame, the NAACP Hall of Fame... and probably the Mascara Hall of Fame.
He has lived a fascinating life. After a string of huge hit singles, Little Richard walked away from rock 'n' roll in 1957 and entered a Christian seminary, not returning to popular music until 1962.
He discussed this in an interview with disc jockey Jim Pewter around 1967. Click here to hear a 2-minute segment of that interview on my Vox blog.
Speaking of audio bites... Hendrix fans are aware that Jimi Hendrix recorded and gigged with Little Richard in the mid-1960s. Well, here's a track – a remake of Lloyd Price's "Lawdy Miss Clawdy" – mixed to highlight Hendrix's rhythm-guitar break; hit this link. Little Richard says a few words about Jimi's talent at the end of the clip. This is from the box set "Lifelines: The Jimi Hendrix Story."
Now, if only the Universal Music Group would digitally reissue Little Richard's 1962 Mercury album "The King of the Gospel Singers," produced by Quincy Jones. I mean, please. For the sake of historical appreciation.

|Electricity supply
|(Powergen from 1998)
The East Midlands Electricity Board (or EMEB) was formed in 1947, one of the 12 area electricity boards specified under the Electricity Act 1947.
Supply area[edit]
It covered a large area: from Chesterfield in Derbyshire, to Newport Pagnell (near modern-day Milton Keynes), in Buckinghamshire, and from Coventry in the West to Skegness in the east. Its head office was on Coppice Road in Arnold, Nottinghamshire.
It was required to supply electricity to homes, and businesses, as regulated by the Act, and under terms of reference from the Electricity Council, and the CEGB. In many towns, the board opened showrooms, to provide customer service facilities (such as paying bills), as well as demonstrating, and supplying the latest electrical goods to customers.
The post-war period was one of incredible growth for the electricity industry. The pre-war National Grid system was vastly expanded, and many new power stations were opened, across the region. One major customer was British Rail. When the West Coast Main Line was electrified in the 1960s, and the East Coast Main Line in the 1980s, the electricity boards were required to supply the lines passing through their territory with electricity supplied direct from the National Grid.
In 1987, the Conservatives' election manifesto committed the party to further privatisation of nationalised industries, and the electricity industry was to be one of these. In March 1990, the board became East Midlands Electricity plc, a new 'regional electricity company'. In December 1990 it floated on the stock market. Although operations continued as usual for a few years, the business began to be separated, and broken up. The electricity showroom and sales business merged with those of other companies into the Powerhouse chain, in 1994/5. In November 1995, the company split into three divisions of distribution, metering and supply. In 1996, the company was bought by Dominion Resources for £1.3bn in December 1996. In September 1998, EME's distribution, and supply business was bought by Powergen for £1.9bn, ensuring the business remained vertically integrated. The EME-brand was not replaced until 1999, although the distribution business continued under the EME brand until it merged with Central Networks in 2004.

Kenya Moore Evicted From Multi-Million Dollar Atlanta Mansion For Non-Payment and Lease Violations!! -- The Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Kenya Moore may be "gone with the wind fabulous" in her own mind, but it sounds like her neighbors and landlord don't see her as fabulous. In fact, her rental check isn't fabulous either, as it was short a substantial amount last month, which has landed the Bravo star in some trouble. Apparently, she hasn't been able to pay her rent, which means she has been served with an eviction notice.
While Kenya isn't speaking out about it, everyone else seems to have an opinion about Kenya. According to a new Radar Online report published on June 4, "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Kenya Moore is now being evicted from her rental home because she failed to pay rent and neighbors don't like her.
Apparently, Kenya rented a mansion for $3999 per month to film the show. However, she was $848 short on her rental paycheck for the month of May — and also defaulted on the terms and conditions of the lease. Her landlord wants the rent for the month in addition to $2500 in eviction fees and damages. "The sheriff's department posted the notice on Kenya's home last Thursday but she still doesn't know that she has been evicted because she hasn't been home yet," a source has revealed.
One has to wonder how she is dealing with the issue since she isn't home.
Apparently, the rent is just one problem. Kenya has been labeled the "neighbor from hell" and her landlord has reportedly been getting complaints about Kenya's presence in the mansion. Kenya supposedly only moved into the rental home because she was filming "The Real Housewives of Atlanta. "The homeowner is incredibly upset at what is unwanted attention that has been caused as a result of Kenya moving into the neighborhood," the source revealed. "Owners are concerned that the value of their properties are going down because she has not maintained the landscaping, nor the pool, has even storied furniture outside and her dog is always on the loose."
What do you think of the eviction notice?

La Jolla Dive & SnorkelRead MoreA colony of seals suns itself on the rock ledges of La Jolla Cove while seabirds preen themselves a few feet above. Below, bright-orange garibaldi fish and california spiny lobsters scuttle about the cove's reefs and kelp beds. This biologically rich landscape sets the stage for La Jolla Dive & Snorkel's scuba-diving lessons, which range from beginner discovery classes to dive-master-certification courses that adhere to the training standards of the Professional Association of Dive Instructors (PADI). They also lead four shore dives to various sites, such as one located near The Marine Room restaurant, where the shallow reefs and smell of lobster bisque attract gentle leopard sharks in the early summer. Along with scuba diving, instructors also teach students how to strut in fashionable snorkeling gear and how to stoically gaze into the horizon during standup-paddleboarding tours.2950 Garnet Ave.San Diego, CA US
San Diego Excellent AdventuresRead MoreDisguised in wetsuits, flippers, and diving masks, humans almost seem indistinguishable from the scores of aquatic life that thrive among the San Diego coastline. In the water, curious sea lions tug playfully at divers' fins, and thick stalks of kelp wave like Queen Elizabeth telling the gathered crowd to go home already. With access to five separate sites in which to see such wonders, the guides at San Diego Excellent Adventures tailor their adventures—whether snorkeling, diving, or paddling—around the experience level of each tour group, ensuring an easy assimilation to undersea life. During guided dives along La Jolla Shores, swimmers peer in on frolicking creatures such as lobsters, octopuses, and leopard sharks, and standup paddleboards grant access to Mission Bay's shoreline views previously seen only by terribly lost Venetian gondoliers. Currently the largest manmade bay in the country, Mission is known for its calm waters suited to beginners just learning to explore the ocean.2000 Spindrift Dr.San Diego, CA US
Ocean Experience Surf SchoolRead MoreOver the course of its 22-year existence, Ocean Experience Surf School has helped somewhere in the neighborhood of over 15,000 students to safely discover and refine their passion for watersports. Students 6 or older hop atop surfboards, paddleboards, and kayaks for on-the-water practice under the care of experienced instructors during private lessons and group classes. The local press and community showers the school's companion retail outlet with praise, which won both the Best Surf Shop and Best Skate Shop in CityBeat's 2010 Readers' Poll. In an effort to give back to the community, the organization runs an afterschool sports program offering surfing and skateboarding lessons to kids up to 18 years old and adults with a note from a certified kindergarten teacher.5032 Niagara Ave.San Diego, CA US
Paddle Dive San DiegoRead MorePaddle Dive San Diego takes paddleboarding beyond just the board and paddle. It uses the simplicity of these two items and creates a wealth of different aquatic activities. The outfit's special boards allow paddlers to haul along their snorkel or scuba equipment as they skim out to a favorite dive spot, where they can explore the undersea sights or check in with their extended mermaid family. Those who choose remain atop their board can enroll in entry-level and advanced classes or take a tour of the surrounding waterways, including Mission Bay, Oceanside Harbor, and La Jolla. A full body workout, paddleboarding has become a mainstay for avid exercisers, who build muscles paddling and even perform yoga exercises while on their board.11211 Sorrento Valley Rd.San Diego, CA US
