text: Heading east on the N56 from Gweedore, the imposing and starkly beautiful mass of Mount Errigal becomes increasingly prominent. From a distance the mountain appears to be snow-covered, but skirting the northern shore of Lough Nacung, it becomes apparent that the white colouration has geological, rather than meteorological, causes. Quite often the area around Errigal is shrouded in mist, but on a clear day the beauty of the mountain is unsurpassable, its silvery slopes resembling the Japanese artist Hokkusai's images of Mount Fuji. The hour-long hike up to the top is a must, and there's a waymarked trail from the road, 2km past the Poisoned Glen turn-off, up the southeast ridge. The climb to the summit is well worth it for the stupendous views: virtually all of Donegal, and most of Ulster, is visible and you could easily spend several hours just sitting and absorbing the contrasts provided by coastline, loughs and mountains.

SIMULTANEOUS quadrilateral gangrene is a rare finding. We are prompted to report this syndrome, since in our total experience we have never previously observed it. Review of the literature reveals a paucity of case reports. These were observed in frost bite, thromboangiitis obliterans, carcinoma, cryoglobulinemia, and endocarditis. A case of hypothermia with quadrilateral gangrene simultaneously was reported by Laufman.1 Previously Theis and co-workers2 reported another case of quadrilateral frost-bite gangrene. Luckey and his associates reported the unusual occurrence of simultaneous quadrilateral gangrene in cryoglobulinemia.3 A case of quadrilateral gangrene associated with carcinoma of the pancreas and acute nonbacterial endocarditis was reported.4 There are no references in the literature to simultaneous quadrilateral gangrene in thromboangiitis obliterans, but quadrilateral gangrene has been reported.5
Symmetrical gangrene of the lower extremities has been reported frequently. In children it has been noted by Lewis6 and Richter.7 Broders and

What a week!March 20, 2009
This past week was busy, busy, busy…
It all started with watching my hubby, Janson, play in a basketball tournament with some friends. It went into overtime, which always makes it exciting. In overtime, they were down by two points with six seconds left. The ball was passed in, and one of their guys went for a three…and missed. Janson rebounded the ball and popped it back out to another teammate on the three-point line (2 seconds… 1 second…). The guy released just before the buzzer….and…. SWOOSH! They won by one point!!! It was such a great game.
I went up to Park City on Tuesday and went down the track for the last time this season. I've had issues with my sled all season. I even had to borrow one for World Championships because mine broke in shipping. So I just wanted to make sure that my equipment would be okay for next year…Olympic year. It was so nice to be able to train without having the stress of preparing for a competition. It reminded me of why I first started this sport. Those 60 seconds on the track are amazing. It's just you, your sled, the wind blowing through your helmet, the adrenaline rushing through your body, and of course, the speed! I love sliding.
Wednesday night was girls' night out. My mom, two of my sisters and I all went to watch my cousin, Brighton, perform in Brigham Young University's production of "Macbeth." She played Lady Macbeth and did such an amazing job! Afterward, we got ice cream, of course!
I am the youngest of eight children, and my brother that is closest in age to me (three years older) has been in medical school and applying for a residency program. After much anticipation, as of yesterday, he got into the residency program that he wanted! Out of 300 applicants, only seven were accepted! (OK, so I'm a proud sister.) My whole family is getting together tonight to celebrate with a pizza party and cake (it better be chocolate).
Last night we had the Australian skeleton team over for dinner and games. They are sliding in Park City this week and then back to the great Down Under! I made creamy chicken enchiladas, rice, salad and strawberry shortcake for dessert. We had a blast playing the German card game Ligretto and then the all-time favorite bluffing game Balderdash. It is always strange to say goodbye at the end of the season because in our sport, it is pretty much six months on (where you see everyone every day) and 6 months off (where everyone goes home and you really don't hear from anyone until the season begins again). It is great to be able to compete against the best in the world in a sport and still maintain those strong friendships. That's really what the Olympics, and every competition between, are really about.
Well, it's time to change a poopy diaper! Gotta go!

"He's just a simple man. I adore him," she said of the Virginia native who has worked at a law firm. "He's really funny and he's really passionate. I love the fact that anything he's involved in he's passionate about and it's contagious."
Britney Spears's New Album Is About 'Huge Breakup' with Jason Trawick
Originally posted 09/20/2013 03:30PM
Her new song, "Work B––––," is a dance anthem, but Britney Spears says her upcoming album, which is due out in December, features more than a little heartbreak.
"It's the most personal album I've done," Spears, 31 admitted Friday on On Air with Ryan Seacrest. "After having a huge breakup this year, I had a lot to say in the studio, so it was really nice to have a therapy like that and to be able to share that with my fans … so it's a real personal album."
The "huge breakup" she's referring to is her January split with fiancé Jason Trawick. The pair, who were engaged for a year, began dating in 2009, but Trawick had long been a part of Spears life as a member of her management team.

If it's your first project the problem can often be that you don't even know what you don't know yet, which makes the studying side of things slightly tricky!
One way around this is picking a project to work through from start to finish. Either come up with a game idea of your own or (possibly easier) create a copy of an existing game. In many ways it doesn't matter what you decide to create, just that you pick something to work towards. Make it something you'd enjoy playing (you'll be working on it for a while), but simple enough that you have a real chance of completing it. And yes, this means don't pick a full scale, multi-country rpg game with umpteen classes and skill trees, a monster manuals worth of creatures and detailed back stories for every npc in every town
When you set out to create a complete game (or finished mobile app or desktop app) it gives you a lot of experience about what goes into it. Game frameworks, gameplay, game graphics, sound effects, user interface and probably lots of other areas I can't think of off the top of my head. There's so many details that it's almost impossible to learn everything in advance, you have to dive in and try it. As you work through putting everything together you have a much better idea of what goes into a game. Just get started in one area and build things up.
For example:
1. Show a world using tiles and load the world information from resources.
2. Show a character in the world and get them moving.
3. Show baddies in the world (random or scripted).
4. Add some form of combat system (sword animation, attack button, damage versus defence/life and track for each character).
5. Animate the combat - hit animation, death animations.
6. Get some free old school sound effects and create a sound system. Play sounds on attack, hit and death.
7. Add a user interface - character health, items, etc.
and so on. Every time you add one detail it highlights other things that need to be added, or other things that could be done. A lot of this you can read up on as you're going along, which should give you even more ideas for how to do things, structure things or just ideas for more things to add.
So yeah. Pick a game to create and start working on it, and it'll help focus your efforts straight away
Good luck!
P.S. Most peoples first development projects are pretty rubbish. This is completely normal, so if you start to get frustrated don't worry about it (everyone does it) First time through you're just figuring stuff out and making all the mistakes, no matter how much reading you do before hand you won't really know it until you've tried it. Each project you work on will be better than the last one you did, as you know more and make better design and development decisions. Stick with it and you'll soon be slapping together little games easily and wondering how you every struggled to get the first one going

In the following video, Motley Fool heath care bureau chief Brenton Flynn talks about one surprising new move coming out of Wal-Mart (NYSE: WMT ) in California. While this company has long been troubled with media reports of poor employee relations, particularly with regard to health care, Wal-Mart will now be moving into signing up customers for health insurance at special in-store kiosks, under Obamacare's insurance exchanges. Brenton tells us why this move could make sense and what it means for insurers and managed care companies operating in the state.
Wal-Mart's rise over the past two decades has been nothing short of amazing, but is its reign at the top almost over? To learn about two amazing retailers with especially good prospects, take a look at The Motley Fool's special free report: "The Death of Wal-Mart: The Real Cash Kings Changing the Face of Retail." In it, you'll see how these two cash kings are able to consistently outperform and how they're planning to ride the waves of retail's changing tide. You can access it by clicking here.

Great Plant Debate
Classroom Designs
Mrs. Billman's 4th grade class
Our class enjoyed this project. It took a long time to agree on the design because we wanted to keep it simple, and we had a hard time figuring out how to let the plants grow out without the dirt and the water flowing out. If anyone has any questions or comments about our project, we would love to hear from you. Email us at firstname.lastname@example.com. Thanks.
This is what we decided we needed to grow plants in space and why.

Cats don't always have to have an unortunate incedent to make them shy.Some cats are born with a shy,qiuet personality.my 7 year old kitty,Sparkle is like this.I have had her since she was born,and untill she gets to know you,she hides under my bed.3 year old Precious,however,was rescued from my local shelter,and is as out going as Sparkle is shy!I have found if you are calm,your'e kitty will pick up on this,and will feel calmer as well.Never push her to accept new people.If she wants to hide,let her.if she feels brave enough to come out,very calmly praise her bravery.Allow her to approach visators on her own.Make sure your'e visators know not to move fast or loudly.if she approaches them,have them speak softly to her,but not touch her yet.If she seems calm,have them lightly stroke her,but not pick her up.If she startles,go back a step.She may never be a brave heart,but small steps like these will help.Kitty pheremones have been know to help.There is one called DAP,sold on-line and at petsmart that was reccommended by my vet.Keeping her at home instaed of boarding her is a better choice.Do you have a friend or reletave she trusts that can come check on her?It will also help her feel more at ease if you leave a worn item of clothing for her to sleep with while you are gone.hope this helps!

The Virginia Tech football team has been practicing for the better part of three weeks this spring, yet there are still a few position battles that have to be giving head coach Frank Beamer headaches.
While some players have stepped up to make their roles more clear, others haven't shown the kind of progress the coaching staff had hoped for.
Others still are struggling with injuries, making it difficult for the Hokies to make definitive decisions about how several position groups will shake out.
With another week to go before Tech's spring game, the Hokies still have some time to sort things out, but these three position battles have to be concerning for Beamer.
Unless otherwise noted, all quotes come from the team's media availability after its second open scrimmage.

Hello and Welcome from David Coleman, High Sheriff of Derbyshire
Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.Donating through this page is simple, quick and secure. It is the most efficient way to give – so every donation goes further – and if you are a UK taxpayer and give Gift Aid consent you will boost your donation.Thank you for your support. I have the great honour to be High Sheriff of Derbyshire for 2014/15, and during my year in Office, I want to direct my efforts to help those voluntary groups who give their time and commitment to make our society a better place for all. Without the hundreds of wonderful people who get involved in voluntary work our community would be a much poorer place. Often, just a small amount of money can make a massive difference to voluntary groups, so fundraising is vital if they are to continue their work. I want to help in that process, so, starting on August 1st 2014, I am walking around the entire county boundary of Derbyshire, a distance of around 220 miles, to raise funds for two charities: PEAK DISTRICT MOUNTAIN RESCUE ORGANISATION: PDMRO is 50 years old this year and I am very proud to be it's President. In 1964, after several fatalities on the moors and crags of the High Peak, concerned hill walkers came together to form an organised rescue service, and eventually 7 Mountain Rescue Teams were formed, covering the whole of the Peak District National Park and beyond. PDMRO was formed as a coordinating body, ensuring common policies and practices, organising training, and coordinating large scale incidents. Since that time, MR teams have located and rescued hundreds of stranded,lost and injured people, and assisted police and ambulance services in all weathers and at all times of day. They are a fantastic, free resource to everyone who uses the wild and inaccessible places in our beautiful county, safe in the knowledge that if they get into difficulties, help is always at hand. Funds raised will help provide new equipment and training so that this fantastic service can continue and improve. THE HIGH SHERIFFS FUND: The High Sheriffs Fund, formerly Derbyshire Crimebeat, provides grants to organisations and projects which engage young people in meaningful activity and divert them from crime and anti-social behaviour. Administered by Foundation Derbyshire, the fund is overseen by the High Sheriff, assisted by former and future High Sheriffs, and awards grants to a wide range of worthwhile projects aimed at young people. We want all young people in Derbyshire to have the opportunity to develop into good citizens, and as the statutory youth services diminish due to budgetary constraints, it is more important than ever that the voluntary sector picks up the challenge. Please help us engage lots more young people in activities which develop them and help them avoid getting into trouble.As a Trustee of Derbyshire Community Foundation, I am pleased that the Foundation has agreed to act as banker for any funds I raise, which will then be distributed to the two charities in equal share at the conclusion of the fundraising effort. Bmycharity is a commission-free service, so everything you donate will go directly to the two charities! Find out more about the Office of High Sheriff, about me and my year in Office, and about my charity walk, on www.derbyshirehighsheriff.co.uk

- The White Star Line was the company that built the Titanic, and was owned by J.P. Morgan, an American tycoon. It cost $7.5 million to build the Titanic. It was the most luxurious ocean liner of its time. The price of a first class ticket cost each passenger $4,700 which was a HUGE amount of money for the time. It would be about $57,000 today.
- As the Titanic was leaving the port, the suction it caused actually snapped the ropes of a nearby docked ship, the S.S. New York. Tugboats had to race to the scene to prevent the New York from colliding with the Titanic. Some people felt this was a bad omen.
- There were six iceberg warnings received by Titanic on the day of the collision. They were all ignored by the wireless operator. Unfortunately, that operator was preoccupied with transmitting passenger messages. The night the collision occurred was moonless and the water was still. Both of these facts made it very difficult to see into the dark night and black ocean. The iceberg that the Titanic struck was not very big. It did not even come up as high as the bridge of the ship.
- The Titanic was traveling 22.5 knots. This was just .5 knot from her maximum speed capability. The ship was clearly traveling too fast for conditions. The collision occurred at 11:40 P.M. on Sunday, April 14, 1912.
- The captain ordered the engines reversed which sealed the Titanic's fate. A ship as large as the Titanic turned more quickly the greater her forward motion. Had the Titanic proceeded ahead and turned, it is most likely that she would have avoided hitting the iceberg all together. The gash that the iceberg cut into the hull of the Titanic was between 220 to 245 feet long. The total length of the ship was approximately 882 feet. Recent evidence shows that an opening the size of a refrigerator is what allowed water to enter the ship. Also, the "watertight" compartments of the Titanic's hull were not actually watertight. They were open at the tops, which made the disaster worse. The ship could have stayed afloat if only four compartments flooded, but five actually flooded.
- A total of 1,503 people died, including passengers and crew. Only 705 people survived. Only 1 child from first class died, while 49 children from steerage died. Many dogs were also aboard the Titanic. Two survived. Charles Joughin was the only person to survive the ice cold Atlantic water.
- Law required a ship the size of the Titanic to have 962 lifeboat seats. The Titanic had 1,178 seats, but 2,208 lifeboat seats were needed to get everyone off the ship. Many of the lifeboats left the ship only half full. There were 472 lifeboat seats not used. Not many people went down with the ship. Most of the people went into the Atlantic Ocean with life jackets on. However, the water temperature was only 31 degrees, so most people froze to death in the water.
- The Carpathian was the ship that responded to the Titanic's distress call, but she was 58 miles and 4 hours away.
- Orders from the Captain were that, women and children were to board the lifeboats first. One man, Daniel Buckley, disguised himself as a woman to get aboard a lifeboat. The band played music up to the last few minutes before the ship went under. None of the band members survived.
- The Titanic lies 12,600 feet at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. The two pieces of the Titanic lay 1,970 feet apart from one another on the ocean floor. The Titanic was rediscovered on July 14th, 1986, seventy-four years after it sank. Since the death of Millvina Dean, May 31, 2009, there are no longer any living survivors of the Titanic tragedy. Millvina Dean was just nine weeks old at the time of theTitanic's sinking.
Titanic Facts and Statistics
On April 10, 1912 the R.M.S. Titanic set out from Southampton, England on her maiden voyage across the North Atlantic. The Titanic was the shining jewel of the White Star Line, and she was thought to be unsinkable.

Know the enemy: Sun Prairie Cardinals
Nick Sunderland-Saied of Madison.com answered some questions about Arrowhead's foe in the state championship football game Friday, Sun Prairie.
Q Sun Prairie will be the underdog in this game despite a perfect record and a pretty impressive run through the playoffs. Are the Cardinals playing up the underdog role? What assets do the Cardinals have that should at least give Arrowhead fans pause?
A One of Sun Prairie coach Brian Kaminski's favorite sayings is, "We're playing Sun Prairie every Friday night." What he means is his players believe only they can beat themselves. I talked with several of the Cardinals players on Monday, and none of them said they feel like underdogs entering this game. But, obviously, they know Arrowhead is the most-complete team they'll have seen this season.
I still believe we have yet to see this team deliver a complete four-quarter performance. Junior Ryan Curran is probably the best quarterback in our coverage area and was a contributing member of Sun Prairie's 2012 Division 1 state-title winning baseball team. So he's excelled in pressure situations before, and that really showed in the second half against Badger.
He and wideout Michael Marchese are an explosive duo, even if the stats haven't really shown that this year. What truly makes Curran so dangerous is his mobility. He makes a lot of plays with feet.
When Sun Prairie gets close to the goal, Kaminski loves to give 330-pound Craig Evans the ball in the backfield. He's got six rushing TDs this season and even hurdled a defender during the Cardinals' 21-13 win over Badger. I'd be very hard-pressed to pinpoint a glaring weakness on this Sun Prairie squad.
Q What makes Donte Starlin-Merriam such a good running back? Do you consider this offense balanced?
A Sun Prairie fields by far the most-balanced offense I've seen this season. A lot of that has to do with the success of their offensive line. Kaminski broke in four new starters at the beginning of the season, and the unit has really gelled with Starlin-Merriam. He's not a flashy runner but always seems to be going north and south.
Q What would you say separated Sun Prairie from Badger last week?
A I think anybody who watched that game would be quick to credit Lake Geneva Badger for quite a gutsy effort. The Badgers came in down several starters and even lost a few players during the game but managed to make it interesting all the way down to the final minute.
I've been to six Sun Prairie games this season and outside of its season-opening win over Verona, I'd say this was the Cardinals' sloppiest performance to date, with numerous dead ball personal fouls and other miscues. Curran was clutch when it mattered, though.
Q Who are some of the team's standouts defensively?
A It all starts up front with 6-foot-3, 330-pound junior defensive tackle Craig Evans. The University of Wisconsin recruit anchors Sun Prairie's defense and does a great job of opening up the game for his teammates. He's a very interesting kid outside of football, too, and has overcome a lot to get to this point.
Junior linebacker Michael Garvey always seems to be around the ball, much like Chris Borland usually is for the Badgers. And in the secondary, junior cornerback Jeramiah Bradley has come up with key turnovers time and time again over the course of the season. The Cardinals had a streak of 19 straight shutout quarters going before Madison Memorial scored a touchdown against their second-stringers in the fourth quarter of their Level 1 game.
Q Sun Prairie has only played one game against a non-Big Eight foe this season. How would you rank the Big Eight overall, relative to other conferences you've seen/know about?
A I'm extremely biased on this subject, since I've only covered two games (McFarland at Jefferson in Week 2 and Walworth Big Foot vs. Lakeside Lutheran in Level 3) all season that didn't feature at least one Big Eight Conference team. What I do know is all the coaches of the playoff-qualifying squads in the league were very disappointed to see all their teams bunched in the same postseason grouping.
I don't think anyone will question is the overall depth of the league. You've got 10 Division 1 teams, six of which (including 3-5 Madison La Follette) were definitely playoff caliber squads. Regardless of what happens, Sun Prairie will be stacked yet again heading into next season. The Cardinals have a loaded junior class.

Lomiko Will Drill To Prove Up A Historic Quebec Graphite Target LMR.v 0 comments
We have more promotion from Lomiko Metals and more colours to the potential of its Graphite project in Canada. Graphite is in the headlines of news letter writers - James Dines has made his pick as well, now the exploration results will separate the pump and the real projects.
Lomiko Outlines 2012 Goals for High Purity, Large Flake Crystalline Graphite Exploration LMR.v
"Apparently, CEO of Lomiko Metals has found the right words to position the company into the "new hot market" - Graphite - at the Toronto conference yesterday. He buys the shares himself and it always helps communication with investors. Now we have more details about the Graphite project and plans for its development to digest."
Venture Capital Radio interviews Lomiko Metal's CEO Paul Gill about Graphite LMR.v
Lomiko to Outline 2012 Drilling Plan for Quatre Milles at Toronto Graphite Conference May 2, 2012 LMR.v
"CEO of Lomiko Metals continues to Buy shares of his company."
Lomiko Metals - Energy Metals: Graphite and Lithium
"Looks like Lomiko Metals has found its new life after it has acquired the Graphite property and engaged in its marketing. Rick Mills has covered the Graphite story recently and we will see who has the goods in the end. So far the stock has a very impressive run from 2 cents to as high as 18. Real exploration program should show the potential of this project."

Lomiko Will Drill to Prove Up a Historic Quebec Graphite Target
By Greg Klein
Will history repeat itself at the Quatre Milles Graphite Property? Lomiko Metals TSXV:LMR CEO Paul Gill evidently thinks so. His company nabbed the 1,600-hectare southwest Quebec property in January, partly because of its infrastructure but largely because of impressive historic results. NowLomiko's about to bring those assays into compliance and, with success, develop a flake-graphite resource by December.
The company's Phase I drill program intends to prove up historic work by Graphicor Resources, which undertook prospecting, mapping, geophysics and a 26-hole, 1,625-metre program between 1989 and 1991. Non-43-101 highlights include
Quebec: Lomiko's Quatre Milles Project is located in the Laurentian region.
- 8.07% carbon over 28.6 metres
- 8.07% over 8.7 metres
- 5.88% over 11.2 metres
- 8.6% over 7.6 metres
- 5.99% over 10.3 metres
- 5.72% over 8.1 metres
- 4.64% over 9.6 metres
The highest grade was 15.48% over 0.5 metres. Drilling was shallow, with a few intervals beginning less than a metre from surface and the deepest starting at 59.5 metres to reach a depth of 69.8 metres.
"The assays are historic and need confirmation, but we have confidence we'll be able to verify them. Graphicor has done good work and has filed with the appropriate ministries in Quebec and Ontario," Gill says. "One feature is that the drill holes are shallow; the intercepts start almost from surface. All the holes were located between a 300-by-400-metre area over an EM conductor. There is a target there."
Having completed a $903,000 private placement in March, Lomiko's Phase I program will begin late spring or early summer with a $307,000, 16-hole, near-surface program to bring Graphicor's results into 43-101 compliance. "There's no major road building to do, so we anticipate Phase I will take a month to a month and a half," Gill adds.
Contingent on first-phase success, Phase II will consist of a $724,000, 38-hole program, which would take up to two and a half additional months. Work will be done by Consul-Teck Exploration of Val-d'Or, whose VP Project Management Jean-Sébastien Lavallée wrote the 43-101 technical report thatLomiko filed in March.
"Val-d'Or is an easy hour drive away," Gill points out. "There's all that geological talent and skilled personnel there. Our property is 26 kilometres by paved road from the Trans-Canada Highway. There's power in the area. One of the main attractions was infrastructure and access."
Southwest Quebec has hosted about 100 graphite mines since the mid-19th century, the best-known being Timcal Graphite & Carbon's Lac-des-Îles Mine. Now in its third decade of operation, it's the largest of North America's two flake-graphite producers. Simon Moores, a graphite authority who writes for Industrial Minerals, reports that Timcal plans to move its operation to a second, nearby open pit later this year. "They reckon that's good until 2018," he says. Timcal has other targets on its privately owned land as well, the result of ongoing drilling. Lac-des-Îles is about 70 kilometres from Quatre Milles.
Graphite is "not an entirely new direction for our company because we've already been in the sector for minerals used in lithium-ion batteries," Gill explains. Lomiko's Chile property, Salar de Aguas Calientes, is a salt lake with surface brines containing lithium, as well as sulphate and potash. Lomikoowns 1,900 hectares comprising eight of the lake's nine claims. The remaining 400-hectare claim is held by Sociedad Quimica y Minera de Chile, the region's biggest lithium producer. SQM's plant is 70 kilometres away. "We're working on changing that project from exploration claims to exploitation claims," Gill says.
The assays are historic and need confirmation, but we have confidence we'll be able to verify them-Paul Gill
Exploration last year in northern BC's Cassiar Gold Camp found a 122-hectare zinc anomaly on Lomiko's 5,407-hectare Vines Lake Property. In October, the company announced that soil analysis showed results up to 0.28 grams per tonne gold and 19.5 g/t silver. Most of the samples came from the eastern part of the property, adjacent to and surrounded by China Minerals Mining's TSXV:CMVTable Mountain Project. Table consists of three former underground gold mines with some infrastructure remaining on care and maintenance. Vines Lake has year-round paved road access via Highway 37N.
Gill's background includes Norsemont Mining, where he served as VP Business Development, President/CEO and CFO up to 2006, as the company's market cap rose from $1 million to $50 million.
"Lomiko has a very specific mandate," he declares. "We acquire properties where we can buy 100% and continue to explore. We do everything we can to mitigate risk and maximize potential reward for shareholders. We're liquid, and we've traded quite a few shares, so people have the ability to get in and out. We have about 20% insider ownership at this point. If there's a basket of stocks that investors are looking at, I think Lomiko is a well-positioned, valuable play."
Gill's presentation at today's Graphite Express-Conference in Toronto will further outline Lomiko's plans. "I'm absolutely looking forward to it," he says. "We need to get the story out there."
At press time, Lomiko had 66.4 million shares trading at $0.115 a share for a market cap of $7.6 million.

Who are we?
Taruni Falconer & Associates, formerly Intercultural Dynamics Pty Ltd, is a consulting and coaching company committed to facilitating leadership capacities in individuals and in organizations. We provide a knowledgeable, globally connected and welcoming space in which leadership can be explored, learned, practiced, and stretched.
We have supported multinational corporate and government teams on five continents for over 25 years. This means mind-sets and skill-sets for working with culturally diverse colleagues, counterparts, and clients in the areas of cultural transitions and integration, leading across cultures, multicultural team development, and global competency assessment (GCI/IES). Additionally we have a proven track record in providing Asia-focused business preparation.
Our consulting and coaching supports leaders to respond to the dynamism and uncertainty of changing times and contexts with emotional intelligence, courage, curiosity and clarity.
What are the new capabilities needed in 21st century leaders?
Practitioners and researchers in leadership have identified capabilities that take us beyond the constants such as integrity, competitive advantage, excellent customer service, and the capacity to communicate a compelling vision.
These are the new dynamics required of leaders:
Thinking globally
Historically, business leaders could focus on regional and domestic markets. Now, even if operating in the domestic market, business leaders must think in terms of global implications.
Appreciating cross-cultural diversity
Previously minority interests and gender diversity were high on the leadership agenda. Now leaders must additionally understand and appreciate their culturally diverse employees as a potent resource.
Being technologically savvy
Leaders must know how technology impacts their core business so they can hire, instruct, and take advantage of its gifts. This means taking a learning orientation to technology and its new demands.
Sharing leadership
Business leaders used to know more than their direct reports. Rather like an Apprenticeship Model, it was about "telling". Now employees are knowledge workers so leadership is moving fast from "telling" to that of "asking"- ask, listen, learn, share. This requires emotional intelligence.
Learning agility
The leader of the future is continuously learning. Developing learning agility enables access to fresh insight and capacity to respond.

A garden blog I follow by a farmer in southwest Ohio posted just last week that she has already started seeds of yellow and red onions.
If this sounds too early, it is for northeast Ohio gardeners who live one zone colder than our neighbors to the south, but not by much. Onions, especially those we want to grow into large, juicy bulbs, need time to grow from seeds to "sets," which is why we buy them in early spring and put them in the ground even before the end of frosty nights.
I'm telling you this now because it is not too early to start thinking about the onion varieties we want to start from seed for our 2010 vegetable gardens.
Sure, we can stop in the local garden centers, and we should, to pick over the healthiest of the marble-sized red, yellow and white onion sets, but if we start just a few seeds of our own, which we also can buy at the garden centers, there is more to chose. Seeds aren't expensive and the packages likely contain much more than we can use in one or even two seasons.
Seeds stored in a cool, dry place in an airtight container from year to year can be viable for up to three to five years, although the germination rate decreases each year. If you miss gardening in winter, give it a try.
There are basically three types of onions, short day, long day, and day neutral, and they mean exactly that.
Short day onions begin to form bulbs when the days are 10 to 12 hours long. They are mild and have softer flesh, and they mature earlier, which is a good thing because they don't store as well as the sturdier long-day varieties. Some examples of short-day onions are the flat-shaped sweet onions, such as Vidalia, Walla Walla or Sweet Spanish. Short day onions are usually grown in the southern states and trademarked onions with specific titles, Vidalia and Walla Walla, in particular, can only be named as such provided they are grown and harvested within a set radius of where they originated in Georgia (Vidalia) and Walla Walla (Washington state).
Those onions are said to get their sweetness from the low-sulphur content of the soil in the areas where they grow. But there are plenty of other varieties of sweet onions available; they just can't call themselves by those copyrighted names.
Long-day onions are ideal for our part of the country. Those varieties start to form bulbs when the daylight hour expands to 14 to16 hours. These onions mature later, are sturdier, have thicker flesh and are more pungent. It is the sulphur content that causes the pungent flavor and that causes our eyes to tear up when we cut and chop them. (Think sulphuric acid and tear gas).
Day neutral onions don't really care about day-length. They mature according to their own plan and are easy to grow just about anywhere. Like sweet onions, they often have softer flesh and don't store as well.
Some years, I just don't get around to ordering and starting my own onion seeds, but those years when I take the time, I am always rewarded with fantastic varieties.
Italian onions, such as Bianca di Maggio is a long day onion that matures in about 110 days. It is a flat Italian onion, both sweet and mild, and somewhat small in size. A new variety available this year is Bronze D'Amposta, a larger sweet onion that is somewhat mid-way between long and short day varieties. It is a red onion and is said to be a good storage variety.
To start your onion seeds, begin with a moist, sterile seed starting mix. I prefer a soilless mix over regular potting soil as I have better success with avoiding damping off disease of new seedlings. Damping-off is a fungal disease that lives in the soil and can make an otherwise healthy plant suddenly wilt and fall over at the soil line.
Plant seeds about a quarter of an inch deep. Onions have very shallow roots, making it important to keep the soil moist. Cover the seed containers with plastic wrap or you can purchase seed starting kits with plastic domes to help keep the moisture on the surface from evaporating.
When you see the seedlings emerge, don't pull them out to thin them. Onions should be one to a cell in your seed starting container, or one to a pot, but you will need to plant three to four seeds in each one to ensure germination. When they do come up and are about two to three inches tall, use your scissors to trim all but the healthiest plant. Those trimmings can go into your salad for an early harvest treat.
Give the seedlings plenty of light. If they are growing in a south-facing window, turn them often to keep them growing straight, but the ideal conditions are beneath fluorescent grow lights. Instead of paying big prices for expensive grow light bulbs, you can put them under one cool white and one regular in a fluorescent fixture to simulate the effects of the sun. When the seedlings are small, keep the light no more than two inches above the tops of the plants. This will ensure sturdy stems and will avoid thin, leggy stems that are weak and apt to fall over.
In April, when spring starts to emerge, take your plants outdoors for a few hours each day to acclimate them to the conditions where they will soon be living. As soon as the garden soil can be worked in spring, you can place your onions directly into the garden.
Onions are heavy feeders, and a good fish emulsion fertilizer will keep them happy.
Onions are edible at any stage of their growth, so you don't have to wait until they mature to enjoy them. The more mature they are, of course, the longer they will store for winter eating, but you can enjoy them immediately while still young and tender too.

Will big warm-up continue in Sacramento?
Breeze expected to cool things down
UPDATED 6:52 AM PDT Apr 11, 2013
Will Thursday be as warm as Wednesday's high of 87? Probably not.
Full weather coverage
Normal for this time of year is 72, and with increasing cloud coverage in the Sacramento area, temperatures will cool down.
Morning conditions started off in the low to mid 50s just as clouds began to sweep in.
A weather system will move through this morning and trigger much of the cooling and produce partly sunny skies for the afternoon.
Temperatures will be in the upper 70s with a light breeze for Thursday. The high should be around 78 degree.

Interesting question as to what to do if you already have the
SOP Instance.
If it is the "same" as what you already have, no matter, doesn't
matter what you do, no point in sending a failure status.
But should one check and what should one check and should one do
it before sending a response (slow, increases latency and reduces
throughput) ?
What if they are not the "same" in some respect ? Should one keep
the old, or discard it and replace with the new, or coerce (one of
them) to use new UIDs (maintaining internal consistency in any
new set of course) ?
The standard is silent on this, because it doesn't allow for the
possibility that different instances with the same SOP Instance UID
can occur.
Yet they do.
More questions than answers.
PS. The short answer is that your response should reflect what you
do; the question really is what should you do.

The vaudeville show at Cedarcrest Performing Arts Center
The vaudeville show at Cedarcrest Performing Arts Center on Saturday evening at 7:30 p.m. is the only ticketed Chautauqua event. Tickets are $5 general admission and are available at Duvall Books, Pumps & Grinds and Gardens & SunSpaces in Duvall and at Simply Grand in Carnation.
It's worth the detour to come to Duvall and experience this new approach to an old tradition. Just allow extra time to drive south across the Novelty bridge or north across the High Bridge Road. Visit
www .cityofduvall.com/dac for more information on Chautauqua and directions to McCormick Park.
To volunteer to help, please call (425) 788-2983 or e-mail
email@example.com. Opportunities range from distributing flyers to staffing concessions to setting up and tearing down stages and much more.
As Keith Vawter, the "father" of circuit Chautauqua said in the 1920s, "Over twenty years ago I told some friends that Chautauqua would be a success just as long as it was of sufficient importance in the community that a group of men and women would do a lot of hard work for the good of the community." Come on out and help make Chautauqua a great success.

Senators Hold Hearing on Guns in Schools
Educators, police officers and state officials weighed in Monday during a Senate hearing on proposals to arm teachers to prevent the kind of horror that took place last month at a Connecticut elementary school from happening in Texas.
At a hearing where witnesses on both sides of the issue emphasized the need for individual school districts to set their own policies to meet their communities' needs, the upper chamber's education committee chairman, Sen. Dan Patrick, R-Houston, acknowledged that state law could be "ambiguous" when it comes to firearms policies.
State law requires public school districts to adopt an emergency operations plan that ...

Personal Description:
Our Dear Kathy, You are forever in our hearts.We are so happy that your suffering has ended and that you are finally home running free.You are our sunshine, and we know that you are over the rainbow now. You will ALWAYS be with us. We cherish every moment spent in YOUR loving care.
Always and forever kindred spirits,
Your loving Family
Personal Description:
Kathy lost her long battle with Ovarian cancer and celebrated her first birthday in Heaven on May 9,2008. There are so many things that could be said about this amazing woman. She was a loving, kind,and gentle spirit. She loved her family with everything she was. She thought about others before herself, even in the end. She had faith, even through the darkest of storms. She loved life and she lived it to the fullest. She taught many people many things and she will forever be in their hearts and often on their minds.
"The heart that serves and loves and clings, hears everywhere the rush of angels' wings……"
Last updated on: 08/27/2008
I will miss my sister more than I can say. She is still with all of us. Three sisters left behind, but she will always be a part of the "Ya Ya Sisterhood." All for one and one for all. We were blessed to be with her up until the very end. She is the most courageous person I know and is my hero.
Kathy got blindsided by this disease. There were no distinctive signs. She had just had her yearly check two months prior. Throughout her fight she wanted everyone to spread the news about this elusive disease. Their are vague signs. But every woman encounters lower back pain and bloating. She would want you to know that a yearly pap smear does not detect Ovarian Cancer. You can walk away from your exam with a pap smear that came back normal and think everything is O.K. Kathy would encourage you to ask your doctor about a seperate blood test that can accompany you blood work. The doctor has to add it. It is called a CA-125. It is not always completely accurate but if you start now and have a baseline and continue to have the test done every year you will at least be able to know if your numbers are changing. A healthy number would be between 0-35. Kathy's was 4800 when they finally did the test. You can also ask to have a Pelvic Ultrasound done that will record the size etc. of your Ovaries.
These are two tests that I do everytime.
Kathy had genetic testing done and the result came back that it was not genetic. Because I am her sister the chances of myself and my other sisters getting this disease has risen 17%. After seeing firsthand the suffering she has gone through for 6 years, 8 treatments and finally death I will faithfully have these tests done until I can get my insurance to cover a total hysterectomy.
My sisters life was shortened by this horrible diesease and she would want to encourage all of you out there to ask questions and not be afraid to demand these tests be done by your doctors.
Kathy was 55 years old.
Marla Mockerman – 07/23/2008
Kathy changed so many lives for the better. Up until the end she still searched her heart to find out what more she could do. She was constantly amazed by the influx of new people into her life, and how they would tell her how she had changed their lives without effort. It became bluntly evident to me that with or without effort we change the lives of those we come in contact with. I make an effort now to realize this with every new person I meet, and I try always to leave that person with a positive word, hug or smile. It DOES make a difference, not only in their lives but in ours as well.
Kathy had a dream not long before she passed away: She was walking on a beautiful country road. Jesus was beside her holding her hand. She was enjoying the peace and serenity of being in His presence when she noticed that they were not alone. She turned around to see a huge crowd of people behind her. She did not recognize any of them. She asked Jesus "Who are all these people"? He replied "These are all the people you touched in one way or another throughout your life." Kathy was amazed!!
There was a lesson for us all in this. How big will the crowd that follows you be? How do you touch others lives?
I miss my sissy and precious friend more than words can ever express. There are so many things we cannot control, like disease and the hour of our own deaths. What we can control is what we do while we are alive that matters. I can take the lessons that Kathy taught me and still spread her love to as many people as I can , and teach my children to do the same. In that way Kathy's legacy of unconditional love will continue, like a ripple in the pond, forever.
Dana Burns – 08/14/2008
One thing Kathy would say if she were here now is "If they can donate a month of the year to Breast cancer, why in the heck can't they donate at least one day to Ovarian cancer?" She never could understand why this horrible disease is not more understood by Doctors and Nurses, and the public. Why don't they help people like her to find this cancer before it takes over your body and your life. Because Kathy was faith filled and totally believed that God was with her through this journey she had to take, she never BLAMED one soul for what she had to go through. But want's every one in the world to know that it can be caught earlier than her's was. God bless her devotion to helping others, family, friends, and now you, with helpfull facts so that no one else would have to suffer such a loss. My sweet dear sister and friend we will continue to let others know how important it is to be tested. To listen to the silent signs and never ever be afraid to ask the doctor about them. If you feel you are not being listened to, get another opinion. Your LIFE depends on it.
Desperately missing you, Love Ron
Rhonda Griffith – 10/07/2008
I stumbeled upon this website today, and am so glad that I did. My Aunt Kathy was the strongest women I have ever known, with the biggest heart. I remember the last time that I talked to her, we were in her room alone and she grabbed my hand and pulled me closer, with both of our hands intertwined she tells me not to worry and that I will see her again, she said it may not be in this life, but I will be looking forward to the day I get to see you in heaven. I will never forget this day, I miss her so much, and cannot believe it has already almost been a year since she passed. She used to call me sweet angel and now she really is my Sweet Angel!* Please be cautious and take the tests, because I don't want to see anyone else suffer like my Aunt suffered.
Jerney Mockerman – 03/24/2009

it snowed this morning and it reminded me of you sweet sister and the simple things that made you happy, like fresh clean snow in the morning.
rhonda griffith – 11/19/2011
Thank you so much for this arcilte, it saved me time!
Tess Tess – 12/20/2011
I'm sorry to hear that she died. If I'm understanding rtlrecocy, it sounds as if she was your path to freedom, the open door that let you finally get out and be yourself. Now that she's gone maybe you feel trapped and alone again. If so, I hope this feeling passes. I know it creates a huge hole in your life when someone so close and so important goes, but you aren't alone anymore and things have changed for you. This is a phase of your life that has passed on and can't be returned to. And of course it hurts like hell.Your friend Spiky asked us all to come by and see you. You have more friends than you may even realize.
Maja Maja – 03/29/2012
As we come up on your 4th birthday in heaven I find myself thinking of you even more then normal. I remember how hard it was for me to set up this page in your honor, but I am so thankful that I did. It helps heal my soul to leave little messages to "you". I honestly cant believe that it has been 4 years since i saw your face and heard your voice. I miss you dearly, but I know that you are ever present in my life. I cant wait to see you again, and for you to hold me in your arms. Till we meet again my dear Auntie Kathy<3

Have you ever wondered how some books make it to a book sale? It's funny how some books get completely overlooked until the right person comes along.
Going to used books sales is something that I enjoy doing. The Kinsman Public Library was having a book sale recently so we took a little trip up there. It was well worth the time.
The drive in itself is fairly easy and direct. For us it is simply Route 305 to Route 5 and north until you are there. There is a lot of good scenery along the way, too. Kinsman is pretty small and the library was easy to find. It is a nice little community in the northeast corner of Trumbull County.
My wife let her sister know about the book sale too, so we met her and our niece at the library. They drove farther than we did and arrived before we did. They both like to learn and like to read so it was fun for all of us.
Everyone found something that was interesting to them. Combined we found books on history, cooking, sports, knitting and children's interests. You can't beat the price either.
Two of the books I found will be going to my brother in-law. One is a history of Fenway Park and he happens to be a Red Sox fan. I think they are his second-favorite team, but some years it's hard to tell.
The other book for him is about the Cleveland Indians, written in 1992 and full of interesting history and trivia. I started to read it and had a hard time putting it down.
I couldn't help but be amazed at how many bad trades the Tribe has made over the years. The trade that sent Rocky Colavito to Detroit wasn't even the worst one.
But there were some good trades too. There just weren't enough to get us another World Series Championship. Well you know one of our favorite northeast Ohio sayings; ''maybe next year.''
Just across the street from the library a church was having a bazaar and a turkey dinner fundraiser. So all of us went over there to look over at what was being sold.
We found some things there too. The aroma coming from the kitchen was great. The only problem was that the dinner was so popular that there was a long wait to get in and eat. There were people buying tickets for the dinner and sitting in the sanctuary until their number was called.
It would be easy to overlook something like this book sale and church bazaar. Some people simply wouldn't want to drive all the way to Kinsman for these events. When you look over all the books we got and the time at the church bazaar it really was worth it. Plus we got to see another community in Trumbull County and interact with some of the people.
We'll be looking for some more book sales and church bazaars to attend. It will be fun looking over the items and finding some ''deals'' among all the stuff. Until next time, look around and enjoy what Trumbull County has to offer. We sure will.
Mazey is a Trumbull County pastor.

Stile: Instead of a promising vision, Christie address a somber reminder of reality
The governor who unveiled the "Jersey Comeback" slogan in his first State of the State speech in 2011 took the stage in Trenton on Tuesday as the governor seeking a comeback, hoping to regain some of the old momentum that catapulted him to national stardom.
It didn't happen. Despite nearly 4,200 words and a 45-minute speech, Governor Christie left the packed and clammy Assembly chamber pretty much as he entered it – a wounded warrior trying to find his footing in the fog of scandal hovering over his administration and career.
The State of the State pageantry did not confer the same sense of indomitable power and promise of Christie's previous three speeches. The lusty cheers for the Conqueror of Trenton in the past were replaced by cautious, muffled applause, recognition that Christie's confident stride could soon be tripped up by the next shoe to drop.
The speech, which was supposed to mark a triumphant start to his second term, served as a somber reminder of the new realities Christie is facing. The swagger was gone. The self-deprecating humor was at a minimum. And his ideas produced more shrugs than startled looks.
In November, Christie was sitting atop a 22-point landslide and at the top of the list of Republican presidential contenders for 2016. He boasted of his ability to wield power in a cooperative, bipartisan style; now he's fending off suspicions that he's a petty Machiavellian operative who abused his power.
The speech also reflected the fiscal challenges that have haunted his administration since he arrived in Trenton in 2010. Christie left open the possibility of scaling back the state's annual payment to the pension system, which is scheduled to be about $2.3 billion this year.
That has little chance of happening in the Democrat-controlled Legislature, but for Christie to even put the pension payment back onto the bargaining table is a tacit admission that the state's recovery continues to sputter. It also represents a stunning reversal from Christie's proud and stubborn insistence on making the annual pension payment, which he often cited as an example of the tough, fiscal discipline he brought to Trenton.
The State of the State speech, usually a chance for a governor to offer an optimistic vision of the future, reflected the harsh realities Christie is facing at the moment.
"New Jersey's revenues are not as robust as anyone would want, and that means any new initiative needs to be relatively small, unless the governor forces towns to pay for it, or he can renegotiate the pension deal he signed a few years ago, which seems unlikely," said Ben Dworkin, a Rider University political analyst.
"And, of course, the ongoing bridge scandal isn't going away anytime soon," Dworkin said. "The scandal is a cloud hanging over everything."
Christie opened the speech with what, at first, sounded like a bold "the buck-stops-here" approach to the furor over the vendetta-fueled lane closings at the George Washington Bridge in September that has led to resignations and firings of top Christie staffers and spawned federal and legislative investigations.
"Without a doubt we will cooperate with all appropriate inquiries to ensure this breach of trust does not happen again," he said.
But it struck many as a carefully worded dodge. It sounded as if Christie would work only with investigations – a blue-ribbon advisory committee, maybe — that might recommend reforms and new protocols to prevent another lane-closing fiasco.
The concern is not about the future, but what happened in September, when a Christie point man at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey closed two access lanes at the foot of the bridge, paralyzing Fort Lee with gridlock. Were the lanes closed to punish Fort Lee Mayor Mark Sokolich for not endorsing Christie's reelection? Was the plan carried out by a rogue unit of Christie officials, right under his nose?
Or was the scheme hatched by someone higher than Bridget Anne Kelly, the deputy chief of staff who delivered the now-infamous "Time for some traffic problems in Fort Lee" message that set the lane-closing scheme in motion?
Christie's "appropriate inquiries" line only reinforces the impression that he isn't particularly interested in cooperating or all that interested in getting to the bottom of the matter. It might strip away the shield of plausible deniability.
"Obviously, a legislative inquiry is an appropriate inquiry," said Assemblyman John Wisniewski, the Middlesex County Democrat who has led the Assembly investigation into the bridge closings. "I'm hoping he's not parsing his words in some way."
Christie also made it clear that he has not taken his eye off the goal of running for president in 2016, despite talk that the unfolding bridge scandal may have already wrecked his plans.
The speech was larded with pledges aimed at conservative voters, who dominate the Republican primaries and caucuses: A call for school vouchers for public and private school students. A hint at a possible tax-cut plan to come in next month's budget address. A call for a longer school day and a shorter summer break. Tougher bail requirements for people charged with violent crimes.
The new realities facing Christie became apparent when he entered the Assembly. He was soon greeted by Wisniewski, who shook his hand, then wheeled to the other side and gave state Sen. Loretta Weinberg, the Teaneck Democrat who has also led the charge in the bridge investigation, a peck on the cheek.
"I exchanged with him the idea, when we said a few words, that I was ready to participate and share areas of agreement," said Weinberg, who was not offended by the gesture.
Christie once angrily criticized and mocked both lawmakers as partisan bomb throwers, but he can no longer dismiss them. They stood as leaders of the new, assertive Democrats in Trenton who are no longer going to be bowled over by Christie. His star power was dimmed on Tuesday and the bluster was gone.

UNEP Joins UNFPA's 7 Billion Actions Campaign
6 October 2011: The UN Environment Programme (UNEP) announced that it has joined the 7 Billion Actions Campaign, coordinated by the UN Population Fund (UNFPA), to encourage individuals, governments, businesses and organizations to take actions to create a more sustainable world for seven billion inhabitants.
The 7 Billion Actions Campaign aims to capitalize on the population milestone - expected to be reached on 31 October 2011 - by promoting global cooperation on health, environmental sustainability, poverty and inequality, and urbanization, among other issues. The Campaign is encouraging people and organizations to submit ideas and commit to creating a fairer, more sustainable society.
Achim Steiner, UNEP Executive Director, linked the Campaign to the UN Conference on Sustainable Development (UNCSD, or Rio+20), where he said governments would "renew their commitments to meeting precisely these kind of challenges." He also used the example of the impact of climate on food security to exemplify the environmental challenges to meeting the development needs of seven billion people. UNEP plans to participate in the Campaign by sharing research, reports and news on the critical role of the environment in a world of seven billion, via social networks, the media, UNEP's Tunza youth network.
