Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is a prevalent neurological disorder resulting in disruptive seizures. In the case of drug resistant epilepsy resective surgery is often considered. This is a procedure hampered by unpredictable success rates, with many patients continuing to have seizures even after surgery.
In this study scientists at Newcastle University applied a computational model of epilepsy to patient specific structural connectivity derived from diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) of 22 individuals with left TLE and 39 healthy controls.
They validated the model by examining patient-control differences in simulated seizure onset time and network location and investigated the potential of the model for surgery prediction by performing in silico surgical resections, removing nodes from patient networks and comparing seizure likelihood post-surgery to pre-surgery simulations.
They found that, patients tend to transit from non-epileptic to epileptic states more often than controls in the model. Regions in the left hemisphere (particularly within temporal and subcortical regions) that are known to be involved in TLE were the most frequent starting points for seizures in patients in the model.
In addition, their analysis also implicates regions in the contralateral and frontal locations which may play a role in seizure spreading or surgery resistance. Finally, the model predicts that patient-specific surgery (resection areas chosen on an individual, model-prompted, basis and not following a predefined procedure) may lead to better outcomes than the currently used routine clinical procedure.
Taken together this work provides a first step towards patient specific computational modelling of epilepsy surgery in order to inform treatment strategies in individuals.

Wild Food Foraging: Apples, Chufa, Grapes and Wild Rice
James E. Churchill writes about wild foraging for apples, chufa, grapes and wild rice.
While gathering May apples you might now and then notice a gleam of blue from vines that twine overhead around the branches of trees. Investigate these blue flashes. They will probably turn out to be wild grapes, a food so good that the Vikings named our entire continent Vinland after eating some.

Hello from upstate south carolina
finally decided to stop wasting money on fuel and got a sailboat.
I'm in the middle of restoring an old Venture 21 (i believe it's a venture 21)
I'll get pics up as soon as she's done being painted.
If there are any local sailors in the area i'd love to pick your brain! This is my first sailboat. Figured the best way to learn about one is to restore her from the ground up.
Hope to get her on the water in 2 weeks. Just need some parts to finish her up and a better lower back for all the sanding.
Good luck! We're working on an old VN23 :)
We'll probably sail her in the Beaufort/Morehead City area in North Carolina.
thanks for the kind words!
turns out she seem to be an old luger boat, pre venture!
a westwind or winward 21, either way very similar to the venture 21
just picked up the new trailer for her.
the painting is going slower than expected due to weather keeping me from sanding!
got a new mainsail coming by mail, hopefully it will be here early next week and found a local rigging shop. It's coming together slowly

This was hilarious and serious at the same time. I did find it so interesting that so many of the men referenced their mothers. Every male has a special bond with his mother and respects her. If they can equate vaginas with their mothers then perhaps there is hope that they can respect all females.
Either this is the best of a random sample, or women should just start applying to Connecticut College. Even the "creepy" answers gave me more hope than I had before. Thanks again Eve Ensler for the gift that keeps on giving and yay for CC and Alia Roth for making it happen on their campus.

A BYOT Plan Needs to be Built Element by Element
Posted by Clement Teo on May 2, 2013
- 305 Recommendations
- 0 comments
At a recent Enterprise Mobility event, I spoke with a few Asia-based IT directors about their journey in the age of consumerization of IT, and how they were dealing with Bring-Your-Own Technology (BYOT) at work. Their responses ranged from 'fear of the unknown' – as in 'how do we deal with this trend?' to 'paralysis by analysis' – as in 'let's arm ourselves with as much information as possible, and analyze it to death.'
The issue is – their employees are already accessing corporate email on their own mobile devices – which means that these IT managers are scrambling to catch up to managing BYOT in their organizations. In fact, an IT head at a large FMCG organization admitted that he did not know where to start managing BYOT.
Security and compliance were key concerns for these IT folks, and their concerns are valid. Trend Micro predicts, for example, that 91% of targeted attacks begin with spear-phishing, a highly targeted type of phishing aimed at specific individuals or groups within an organization. This was heightened in a recent spear-phishing attack on a South Korea bank. The security provider also predicts that there will be 1 million malicious Android apps in the wild by the end of 2013 – another red flag for organizations coping with the rise of Android devices at their work place.
Like it or not, internal business functions will put pressure on IT to provide mobility to their workforce, and the fact that these IT directors were attending an Enterprise Mobility event is proof of that. My colleague, Michael Barnes, observes that IT is still only involved for due diligence in areas like security, bandwidth, and Internet requirements; governance and accountability considerations; and integration. It is time for IT to add value. Start by breaking your BYOT plan into elements:
- Link BYOT plans with your business and mobile workforce strategies: In a recent Forrester report, Industry Contexts And Constraints Diversify Approaches To Bring-Your-Own-Technology, we discuss industry BYOT strategies, and what you should consider as your users clamor for greater access to corporate data on their personal devices. If you haven't already devised a BYOT strategy, you need to start building one now, even if it just means enabling a certain group of users to access their email.
- Involve relevant functions early: I agree with Katyayan Gupta's recommendation that organizations must build cross-functional teams to plan their mobile strategies. Involve LOBs like finance, HR, legal and sourcing. In creating a BYOT policy, clearly define 'go/ no go' areas in compliance with local regulations.
- Worry about Windows XP support: Microsoft has announced that it will end support for the enterprise OS workhorse in April 2014, and with that, security patches and updates. Watch for employees who choose to use their own laptops running XP and accessing corporate data. Be certain to include XP migration in your BYOT plans, or at the very least, one that protect against potential XP security threats.
I hope this provides some guidance in progressing a BYOT strategy. I'd love to hear whether you face similar issues for enterprise mobility in your organization.

STudy Finds Increase In BC Overdose Hospitalizations
A new study by the University of Victoria's Centre for Addictions Research of BC (CARBC) reveals an increase in BC hospitalizations as a result of alcohol and illicit drug overdoses between 2002 and 2009. The rate of alcohol overdose hospitalizations in the population rose by 16 per cent, while other drug overdose hospitalizations rose by 33 per cent. In total there were 3,753 overdose hospitalizations recorded during this period for the province.
There are many more overdose events presenting to emergency rooms than are admitted to hospital. For example, Vancouver Coastal Health Authority recorded 5,331 emergency room visitors who presented as an overdose in 2010 alone.
"Alcohol poses a much higher risk of overdose than people realize," says research collaborator Jane Buxton, an epidemiologist with the BC Centre for Disease Control (BCCDC), an agency of the Provincial Health Services Authority. "There needs to be much more awareness and education around the use of alcohol, both on its own and in combination with other drugs."
The study was published in the latest CARBC Bulletin and is a collaboration between BCCDC, Vancouver Coastal Health's Public Health Surveillance Unit and CARBC. The BC Coroners Service also contributed data for this study.
Of the five geographic areas administered by the BC Coroners Service, Metro Vancouver had the highest rate of drug overdose fatalities, with 7.6 deaths per 100,000 people. The Northern region recorded the lowest overdose death rates with 2.15 per 100,000 people.
The research also shows that Vancouver's supervised safe injection service InSite is helping manage overdoses, providing Naloxone (Narcan), an opiate antagonist administered to people experiencing a heroin overdose.
"There is an urgent need for more investment in harm reduction services and education about risk factors for alcohol and other drug overdose," says Vallance, a research associate with UVic's CARBC and a co-author of the study. "We think this would go a long way to reducing the rate of overdoses in BC."

It's always dangerous when you label a game as a must-win match, and we remember we did that a lot in the relegation season a few years back, and we didn't win many of those games. But Alan Pardew is probably right to say Saturday's home game against QPR is a must win game because if we draw, it's just one point but hardly enough to take us away from the bottom three, and a defeat would be terrible – in fact it's simply unimaginable.
Tim Krul – hoping for a good run of form
And to be clear – one definition of unimaginable is "difficult or impossible to believe; inconceivable."
And if we are beaten on Saturday – don't expect a match report anytime soon after the game – watching us play badly is bad enough – but then having to write about is soul destroying – well at least for me it is.
23 year-old Tim Krul has been at the club since the summer of 2005, and he's been through it all with Newcastle, and certainly he doesn't seem too worried about the situation at the moment (that's good):
"We are still in there right now. The season does not end in December." "I have looked closely at the league table and there are a lot of teams just five or six points away from us."
"We just need that little run to get ourselves back up there, it is only two wins we are talking about." "QPR is a must-win for us, this one is massive." "Our aim at the start of the season was to get through the group stages of the Europa League and make sure we book our place in the last 32."
"We did that and we also have the FA Cup coming up as well, so there is an awful lot to play for this season." "This is a really important time of the year, what with the amount of games in a short period." "We have to make sure we do not have a dip like we did last year.
"Get a little run through this period and things could look very bright going in to the New Year."
That's certainly true if we can get a good run going at some point soon, and of course every game will be important and we hope we can start to pick up points and climb steadily away from the relegation zone.
But we have almost the same players as last season playing, and we have just over half the points after 17 games – 14 versus 27 at this same stage last season.
And reports about Newcastle missing Yohan Cabaye are a little over-played – if this lad is as important to Newcastle as some reports suggest – we should double his wages when he comes back.
It's up to other players to come through and start playing near the form they were in last season, and it's a bit of a cop-out to say we are doing so badly because we have one player missing – however good Yohan is.
Of course we also have Steven Taylor out – and Ben Arfa too at the moment, and we think if Steven was back in the side, some of those sloppy goals conceded would become history.
We are hoping for a win on Saturday and if we can get one things will brighten up for a little while on Tyneside – but then we are at Old Trafford and the Emirates in the following seven days. 🙁

TAMPA — It just might have been the best backfield ever assembled in Hillsborough County. But the youth league players never lived up to their dreams of winning state high school football titles as part of the same team. ¶ Of course, they were only 10 and 11, but James Wilder Jr., Quentin Williams and Matt Jones knew where they wanted their football careers to take them — and it was together. ¶ The three were teammates on the Ybor City Boys & Girls Club Eagles, which won three league championships, intertwined by the wishbone offense they ran. ¶ Before all the scholarship offers, the Nike swooshes on their uniforms and national television exposure, they practiced on a dusty field beside the now-closed Boys & Girls club and played their games in front of family and friends at Rowlett Park.
"It was all about playing on Saturdays," said Williams, now a senior quarterback at Jefferson. "I remember it. You'd get breakfast at the club, getting on the bus. You'd get some reading done and get ready to play ball."
Years later, they've each created their own identities as three of the top high school players in the state, far removed from the plain royal blue jerseys they wore back in the day.
And this weekend, each can lead his team — Plant, Jefferson and Armwood — to a high school state championship at the Citrus Bowl in Orlando.
"A lot of people would be surprised to see what they do now," said their youth league coach, Darrell Palmer, now the secondary coach at Armwood. "Me? I'm not surprised, not at all. I know the drive they had back then."
Plant's Wilder has the Panthers on the verge of a third straight state title. Arguably the most dominant player the Tampa Bay area has seen in years, the running back/defensive end is the son of former Bucs running back James Wilder Sr. He was tabbed the No. 1 senior recruit in the nation earlier this year, he has committed to Florida State, and most would say he's a good bet to play on Sundays.
Williams, meanwhile, has broken every state single-season and career passing record, passing the likes of Tim Tebow, Aaron Murray, Robert Marve and John Brantley along the way, all while leading the most prolific offense in state history. The Bethune-Cookman commitment is the heart of the Dragons' run to the Class 3A title game.
Then there's Jones, the youngest of the three, who already owns scholarship offers from most major Division I-A programs and will be one of the state's top recruits next season. In leading Armwood to the Class 4A state title game, he has run for 1,300 yards and 23 touchdowns this season — as a junior.
And seven years ago, they shared the ball in Palmer's wishbone offense, with Williams at quarterback, and Wilder and Jones behind him at tailback.
"There were a lot of things we could do out of the wishbone with the kind of players we had," Wilder said. "It was kind of like Georgia Tech.
"You just went out there and did your thing. We were 11 years old. We didn't watch film. We didn't draw stuff up on the board that other teams do. Coaches would just go out there and call a number and we'd run a play. I think we were good enough to do that because we were a special group."
Palmer said that 2003 team allowed just eight points all season in the six-team league. The Eagles didn't allow opponents to touch the ball much, grinding the clock down — they played six-minute quarters — with their running game. They often limited opponents to three or four possessions a game, Palmer said.
"James is doing the same things he was doing back then, dragging guys down the field," Palmer said. "Matt Jones was the same way. He was the quick hitter, the flashy kind of guy. The same way he throws the (deep) route he did back then. He always had a great arm. He was also the pitcher on my baseball team."
All three played both ways — Wilder was a nose guard, Jones a linebacker and Williams a safety — and they were equally difficult to pull off the field.
"It was fun just getting in the uniform," Williams said. "We were just playing a game that we love. There was just something about Saturday morning, waking up knowing you were gonna play that day."
One of their most memorable moments was actually a miscue, when Wilder — who has 21 rushing touchdowns this season — spun around a group of tacklers and broke a touchdown run into the wrong end zone.
Other prominent local players were on that team, such as Hillsborough fullback Jamie Knott, Armwood receiver Ronnie Thomas, Armwood linebacker Harvellio Buie and Plant defensive lineman Bobby Richardson.
"We were unstoppable, man," Jones said. "Oh my god, it was like an unbelievable little league team."
But Wilder, Jones and Williams would often talk about playing together in high school. Jones said they all considered Hillsborough and Armwood, but ended up going their different ways.
But if they had stayed together?
"Whoooooo," Williams said, shaking his head. "Man, looky here, oh my goodness. That would have been hype. Stuff happens though, and people go their separate ways."
Regardless, the old teammates will be rooting each other on this weekend.
"We always said when we were little, 'I hope we all go to the same high school and go to the same college,' " Wilder said. "We were young and we had these big dreams. Now we all compete against each other. We all still talk and we're all here in the state championship."

Is it possible to take a vaccination for fever like malaria before traveling to Africa? I am HIV positive.
Can I get a malaria vaccine before traveling?
Thank you for your question. There are no effective malaria vaccines. Protection against malaria come from oral tablets that you start taking at least a week before you travel and continue taking while away. You need to go to a tropical disease centre or a travel clinic to find out whether you are traveling to a country or region where malaria prophylaxis is recommended.
However, you may need other vaccinations depending on where you are traveling to. Countries have different vaccination requirements for entry. In general, HIV people should avoid most live vaccines, unless your HIV doctor says it is safe for you, or unless the risk from not getting vaccinated outweigh the risk from using a live vaccine. Inactivated vaccines are not be a problem. If for instance you need a typhoid vaccine, an inactivated version of this vaccine should be provided, not the live vaccine.
For more information on vaccinations you may need to travel to different parts of the world please click here. Make sure you have a discussion with your HIV doctor about any vaccinations before you get them.
Information on this website is provided by treatment advocates and offered as a guide only. Decisions about your treatment should always be taken in consultation with your doctor.

More About the Awards
In 1929, after two years of legal debate, Canada's highest court of appeal declared that the word "person" included both women and men. The decision was made by the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council of Great Britain and made it possible for women to serve in the Senate. It also paved the way for women's increased participation in public and political life. The case had been brought before the courts in 1927 by five Alberta women who became known as the "Famous Five." The case became known as the Persons Case.
The Governor General's Awards in Commemoration of the Persons Case were created in 1979 to mark the 50th anniversary of the groundbreaking Persons Case, which changed the course of history for women in Canada.
This year, five recipients, including one from the youth category (15 to 30 years of age), have been chosen from across Canada.
Recipients of these Awards continue the tradition of courage, integrity and hard work that the Famous Five of the Persons Case inspired.
These awards recognize individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the goal of equality for women and girls in Canada. Recipients come from all parts of the country and from all walks of life.
