Jen Bogart, left, stroke survivor, and Charlotte Comrie, CEO, Heart and Stroke Foundation, were on hand at the Eastlink Centre, Wednesday, for the announcement of the new fundraising project Quarter Magic. The foundation will attempt to break the existing Guinness World record for the longest line of coins.
©THE GUARDIAN/Heather Taweel
The P.E.I. Heart and Stroke Foundation has abandoned its Quarter Magic fundraiser, an effort to set a world record for the longest line of coins.
In May, the foundation announced plans for a new initiative that required 3,382,808 quarters to create an 80-kilometre line of quarters. It was going to be set up at Eastlink Centre on Nov. 22.
Charlotte Comrie, CEO of the foundation, said things didn't go quite according to plan.
"The returns that we needed to really make a healthy stab at breaking the record just weren't there,'' Comrie said Monday. "We just didn't have the confidence we needed to be able to even come close to breaking the record.
"Rather than spend more money and not have at least the confidence that we were making a really good stab at it, we decided to cancel the event.''
The foundation would have raised $845,702 if it had worked, money it was going to use to fund a three-year campaign on recognizing the signs of a stroke and hammering home the message that people should call 911 immediately if they notice those signs. A month after the news conference to announce the fundraiser, a mere $1,000 had come in.
"I am hugely disappointed,'' she said. "It was such a fun event, innovative, unique; there were all kinds of good things to say about it. We worked hard for just over a year, driving it, deciding to kick it off, we had all kinds of volunteers and colleagues involved. We just weren't able to sustain (momentum).''
Jen Bogart, a 39-year-old Charlottetown woman who survived a stroke last year and has since become the face of the national campaign, said the message remains the same.
"I am disappointed,'' Bogart said, "but I know they're not giving up on research and certainly they're not giving up on how important it is to educate people on the signs of a stroke, and how vital it is to call 911 right away.''
In P.E.I., about 350 strokes occur each year. At any given time, there are 800 stroke survivors in the province, many of them living with varying degrees of disability.
The clot-busting drug tPA, which saved Bogart's life, can be administered to people with ischemic stroke and minimize the damage but the window for receiving this medication is between three and four hours from the onset of symptoms.
Bogart, who said she stayed in shape prior to her stoke and maintained a healthy weight, is proof that it can happen to anyone.
"Anybody at any point can have a stroke,'' she said.
Comrie said the foundation is looking at ways to try and raise a portion of what Quarter Magic could have.
"But right now we don't have a specific event in mind.''
Signs of Stroke
- Signs of a stroke include weakness, trouble speaking, vision problems, headache and dizziness.

A resolution with intentions to change Lebanons government to a City Manager form is to be withdrawn from the City Councils agenda for its regular meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 20.
The resolution was initially proposed by Ward 2 Councilor Kevin Huddleston. A public hearing is still to be held at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday to allow citizens to voice their opinions about the issue.
At least two councilors, Ward 3 Councilor Rob Cesternino and Ward 4 Councilor Joe Hayes, said they would not support the resolution because of bad timing and a lack of information about a transition from one type of government to another.
The council is hoping to hold at least one work session to discuss the logistics and possible changes in moving to a City Manager form of government before the resolution is put back on the agenda.
The public hearing will take place Tuesday, Sept. 20 at 5:30 p.m. in the Town Meeting Hall at the Lebanon Administration Building located at 200 North Castle Heights Ave.
By PATRICK HALL, The Wilson Post

Maurice Thompson, aka Reese, 24, of Nashville.
Allen, Bean, Benson, Mount and Rivers were also indicted on related federal firearms charges.
If convicted, these individuals face a minimum of 10 years in prison and a maximum sentence of life in prison.

This Office has a relentless commitment to targeting, investigating and vigorously prosecuting violent street gangs who choose to operate in Middle Tennessee communities, Martin said. We are confident of the ability of our law enforcement partners to identify and penetrate even the most careful and well organized gangs in this area.
According to the indictment, the object of the conspiracy included, among others, the acquisition of large quantities of controlled substances, including, but not limited to, cocaine, and marijuana, for distribution in Middle Tennessee.
The manner in which the alleged conspiracy was conducted included actual and attempted acts of violence including murder, attempted murder and assault to protect the gang's criminal operations.
The indictment also alleges that members of the conspiracy and their associates robbed rival drug dealers of controlled substances and proceeds derived from the sale of controlled substances, promoted a climate of fear through violence and threats of violence and used and threatened to use physical violence against various individuals.
Jeffery Benson and Sterling Rivers remain at large. Anyone having information on their whereabouts is asked to call the FBI at 232-7500 or your local law enforcement agency.
The investigation was a joint operation conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Lebanon Police Department, the Wilson County Sheriffs Office, the Sparta Police Department, the Cookeville Police Department, the White County Sheriffs Office, the Putnam County Sheriffs Office, the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, and the Tennessee Highway Patrol.
The government is represented by Assistant U.S. Attorney Braden H. Boucek.

Many outdoor workers were excused from having to toil in low temperatures Tuesday, but others braved the single digits — including Gainesville public works crews — to maintain the city.
Gainesville Public Works Director David Dockery said solid waste and street maintenance crews were out working by 7 a.m. in freezing temperatures.
"Our street department has a staff of 30 and for everyone in that division, with the exception of a secretary and shopkeeper, it's pretty much a field job," Dockery said. "Even the field manager spends a good deal out in the field, overlooking, supervising, so we have about 28 positions in the street division that would be out working (Tuesday)."
Solid waste also maintained daily operations, he said.
"Of course, our solid waste runs pickup service. We run that every day if the roads are passable, so they're running today," Dockery said.
But even some jobs just shouldn't be done in sub-zero wind chill temperatures, he said.
"It's too cold to be pouring concrete or doing asphalt work — doing anything like that," he said.
Typically, that's a job reserved for 40-degree and higher days, he said.
"We just don't want to have the guys outside for that long a time, so we're not doing it today with this kind of weather," Dockery said.
Street crews back from eight-hour shifts warmed up at the Alta Vista Road offices in the afternoon.
"We didn't want to spend a lot of time outside the truck if we could help it," crew member Robert Jones said.
The crews keep storm drains clear to prevent flooding, although some were simply inaccessible because of the freeze, he said.
"There would be piles of leaves frozen on drains that we just could not move," Jones said.
Ken Perguson noted their job is all the more important when weather is bad.
"The worse the weather, the more we have to do," he said.
Providing workers the necessary gear to endure the weather is taken "very seriously," Dockery said.
"We outfit our guys with protective outerwear — tell them (to) layer up," Dockery said. "We provide insulated gloves; we provide boots. They even have insulated liners for hard hats when they need them, so they're pretty well prepared for working in cold."
Hall County Fire Marshal Scott Cagle said he was relieved there weren't more calls stemming from the unusual lows, citing the expected increase in space heater use as a potential fire hazard.
"I was expecting some havoc last night, and lucky enough we didn't see that," Cagle said early Tuesday evening.
"It's been calm this afternoon. Most of the calls today were in reference to busted pipes and sprinkler systems, and the reason for that is you have the record cold temperatures reveal pipes that were exposed to the elements and they weren't properly sealed or closed off."
Crews did respond to trees that came down, mostly because of high winds, he said.
"We did run calls on a couple of trees down, mostly due to the wind this morning," Cagle said.
Jackson EMC experienced scattered outages throughout its 10-county service area, which includes parts of Hall, Lumpkins, Banks, Jackson and other counties south and east of Hall.
Around 1,800 customers were out of service between 3 and 5 a.m., which dropped to around 500 at 9 a.m. and fell to around 70 customers just before 5 p.m., spokeswoman Bonnie Jones said.
The outages were mainly the result of equipment malfunctions in fuses and transformers due to the high electrical demand, she said.
Dockery said traffic maintenance teams were ready to respond to any wind-related outages, which can "wreak havoc."
"Those guys are in the shop today just performing routine upkeep and maintenance, but they get called if a traffic signal is malfunctioning," he said.
The works members who were out said they were grateful leaf cleanup had reached its dwindling days, helping them move quickly through the chill.
Whatever the weather, Dockery said, his department strives to provide services in tougher temperatures.
"We'll limit our exposure outdoors as much as reasonably possible and still get the job done," he said.

Gojira's 'L'Enfant Sauvage' Available for Streaming in Full
After what seemed like an eternity waiting for Gojira's new album 'L'Enfant Sauvage' to hit metalheads, the band's latest effort is now available for streaming in full. Set for release on June 26, this is one piece of music coming out in 2012 that you shouldn't ignore.
The band were originally named 'Godzilla' before legal issues caused them to change their name to the Rōmaji spelling of the monster's moniker, Gojira. Hailing from Bayonne, France, Gojira have been making music together since 1996 and released their first official full-length album, 'Terra Incognita' in 2001. Since then, Gojira have established themselves as a band that can appeal to all types of metal fans.
Having captured the respect of more underground metal bands, Gojira are poised to become one of modern metal's biggest bands with 'L'Enfant Sauvage,' the band's first release on Roadrunner Records. Australian music website The Music has been given the entire record to stream for free, and after listening to the album, you'll understand why 'L'Enfant Sauvage' is set to be one of 2012 most celebrated albums.
Listen to Gojira's full 'L'Enfant Sauvage' album here. To pre-order a copy of the record, click here.

The sports dramedy ends its run with a modest average of 2.5 million total viewers for its third season.
The game is over for "Necessary Roughness". USA Network has decided not to order a fourth season of the football-themed sports dramedy, which wrapped up its third and now final season in August.
"We are proud of this show and its writers, which had a unique ability to address topical subjects before they unfolded in real life on the sports pages," USA says in a statement to announce the cancellation. "We want to thank [creators] Liz Kruger and Craig Shapiro, the incredible cast led by Golden Globe nominee Callie Thorne and our partners at Sony Television."
Thorne, who earned a Golden Globe nomination for playing New York Hawks sports psychologist Dani Santino on the show, has reacted to the said news. She tweeted, "Bidding farewell to Necessary Roughness and the three years I was blessed to have. This show was bound together with the blood, sweat, laughter and tears of an outstanding group of creators, producers, directors, designers, actors, an unparalleled crew, tried and true fans."
She continued in another post, "Any and all of whom I would be lucky to call a friend. I will miss all of you terribly. And as my old pal Dr. Seuss likes to say: Don't cry because it's over -- smile because it happened. #Danicoforever."
Debuted in summer 2011, "Necessary Roughness" was off to a strong start with more than 4.5 million viewers watching the series premiere. The third season averaged around 2.5 million total viewers. Throughout its three-season run, the show averaged 4 million viewers.

A mother and five children have died following an "unexplained" house fire in north-west London.
Thirty firefighters were called to the semi-detached property in Sonia Gardens, Neasden, during the early hours of Saturday morning after a blaze on the ground and first floors. It is understood that Muna Elmufatish, 41, and her daughters Hanin Kua, 14, Basma, 13, and Amal, 9, and sons Mustafa, 5 and Yehya, aged 2, were of Palestinian origin.
Leila Nasir, 13, standing at a nearby police cordon, said: "My friend Basma lived at that house. At the last lesson on Friday I was sitting next to her. It was a science lesson. Basma was the best in everything."
Muna's husband Bassam Kua, 51, and another daughter Nur, 16, managed to escape and were being treated at St Mary's Hospital in Paddington, London, after suffering critical burns.
An investigation was launched into the cause of the blaze, which one neighbour described as beginning with a "loud bang" around midnight. and was brought under control at 2:50am The neighbour, who requested anonymity, added: "It was like an explosion, almost like a bomb. It was horrific, my dad says he's never seen anything like it in his whole life, honestly I was so shocked."
A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: "We are working with the fire brigade to establish the circumstances of the fire but it is currently being treated as unexplained."
A London Ambulance Service spokeswoman said: "We sent the air ambulance, a doctor in a car, four ambulance crews and a hazardous area response team. Sadly four youngsters and an adult were dead at the scene."

In this section I will show you how you can compare the two strings in your iPhone SDK Project.
To compare the Strings you will have to use the isEqualToString function to compare the strings.
You can simple compare the strings with == operator. In the following example code I have compared the two strings:
NSString *str1 = @"Apple";;
NSString *str2 = @"Orange";
if([str1 isEqualToString: str2]){
UIAlertView* alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:nil message:@"Both strings are equal." delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:@"OK" otherButtonTitles:nil];
[alert show];
[alert release];
UIAlertView* alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:nil message:@"Strings are not equal" delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:@"OK" otherButtonTitles:nil];
[alert show];
[alert release];
The above example is the proper way of comparing strings in iPhone sdk programs. The == operator only compares the pointers, but instead we are comparing the the actual strings.
Hope the above example code will help you in quickly compare the strings.

22nd-Ranked Trinity Wins NESCAC Baseball Championship with Doubleheader Sweep Over Amherst
Trinity got a heroic pitching performance from rookie starter Matthew Krant (Portsmouth, NH), who, despite pitching only 9.1 career innings entering Sunday, surrendered just two run on five hits with two strikeouts, upping his record to 2-1. Kyle Cox (Hinsdale, IL), Greg Talpey (Westbrook, CT) and Craig Tredenick (Cornwall, Prince Edward Island) each threw an inning of relief. Piantek, Dolliver, Fries, Goldstein and Matt Engster (Glastonbury, CT) each registered three-hit games for the Bantams. Engster also made a sparkling defensive play, robbing Amherst shortstop Zach Schonberger (Rye, NY) of a three-run homer in the second inning.
Cody, Whiting, John Schneider (Grand Rapids, MI) and Tom Sullivan (Tewksbury, MA) paced Amherst with two hits apiece. Vladeck suffered his first career loss to finish the season at 3-1.
The second game was more of a pitchers' dual, with Amherst senior Jonah Ansell (Oak Park, IL) going the distance and scattering just six hits in the loss, while four Trinity pitchers, including Talpey, who drew the game-two start, limited the Jeffs to six hits.
Trinity won the game with a two-run single by Piantek in the seventh inning. Piantek also drilled his 14th round tripper of the season and third of the day in the sixth, highlighting a four-RBI outing. Talpey gave up two runs in 5.0 innings before giving way to Kevin Tidmarsh (Meriden, CT), Mark Tremblay (Hooksett, NH) and Tredenick. Tidmarsh picked up the win to up his record to 9-0. Tredenick struck out the side in the ninth to earn his fourth save of the year.
Amherst scored its three runs on sac flies by Whiting and Dave Powers (Andover, MA), and an eighth inning RBI single by Josh Santry (Allendale, NJ). Schonberger doubled, singled and scored a run in defeat. Ansell dropped to 2-4 with the loss.
Cody paced the Jeffs with a .455 batting average, finishing 5-for-11 in four tournament games. Piantek batted .438 with three home runs, a double, six RBI's and six runs scored in five games. Fries drove in a combined 10 runs on eight hits, including a trio of homers.

The Folly of Trusting in Man

The Folly of Trusting in Man
Isaiah 31:1-3 woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay on horses, and trust in chariots, because they are many; and in horsemen, because they are very strong but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the Lord! Yet he also is wise, and will bring evil, and will not call back his words; but will arise against the house of the evildoers, and against the help of them that work iniquity. Now the Egyptians are men and not God; and their horses flesh and not spirit. When the Lord shall stretch out his hand, both he that helpeth shall fall, and he that is holpen shall fall down, and they all shall fall together.
We are living in the time of the prophets. We have forgotten that we are a product of the blessings of Christ�s kingdom. Either we are alive forever with Christ or we are dead while we yet live. Isaiah prophesied of Christ coming and rule in the earth. He prophesied of the reign of righteousness that Jesus would come and set up in the earth that would bring glory back to the Father once again. If man turn away from God they turn again to the bondage they once escaped from. We revolt against God, His Word, and Spirit. In that day every man shall turn to his own way and think it is right. Anything that goes against the Word of God is sin. When we take our eyes off of God we will find ourselves in a state of annoyance, uneasiness, trouble, displeasure, and embarrassment. Our state of affairs will be in confusion, detached from reality, and separated from God. The womb once connected to bring forth life will be cut and disengaged by the seed of sin.
America we are living in that time now. Anything doesn�t go. We started out with Jesus and if we turn now we will be a nation in chaos. God cannot be brought and the conversation of such a sale must be dismantled. We have condescended too low to please man and must undo what has been done. The nation that will hold the values of God will rule. We must be first rate, prime choice in Holiness and Sanctification, of an excellent Spirit, selective in our Christianity, exceptional in our belief, and the best at working out our own soul salvation. Are we perfect? No, but we better trust in God rather than man.
Who is that wise man? A wise man seeks Jesus. It was not in Jesus� plan to set forth a complete system of morals, but rather by His character and personality to create an ethical standard. Jesus emulated, imitated the first order of man equal and in competition to their first order set by God himself in the Creation. Man was to follow and obey all that God had told them which was simple; just obey, be who I created and made you to be and reproduce in the earth. God wanted to reproduce who He was in the earth. He wanted man to be that created spirit being in the flesh pure and holy as God had made him. Adam and Eve were never to know that they were flesh. When they knew they were flesh, God knew they had failed the test of obedience. They knew too and ran and hid from God. Many are hiding today behind laws that okay their disobedience but God forbid. That wise man is one that emulates the morals Jesus died for. He has ethics, is humane, respectable, decent, honest, and noble. He is full of integrity and honor before God; not man.
The folly of trusting in man is this: that after we would have followed their lead we have the consequences that come after. After we would have imitated their lead and conformed to their ways we have to observe that God is taking heed to our acts and doings outside of his will. When we regard man rather than God we will comply with things contrary to the truth of God. We comprehend what we want and catch a bad apple before we comprehend and realize that it�s full of worms that can eat us alive. Now we have results that we don�t know how to deal with. It�s okay to stand up and be counted for God. Trusting man rather than God will bring evil to us, a nation as a whole. Sin is over exaggerated, distorted, and pronounced in America, a nation under duress. Sin is prevalent, widespread, prevailing and common. Right is wrong and wrong is right. Sin is securely fixed, authenticated and confirmed to be alright amongst sinners. Lord I pray, have; mercy on America.
The President of the United States of America is an executive office held by a man. The judicial branch of government is held by man. The legislative branch of government is held by man. No matter the laws they set conducive to the flesh of men, God is still God and not a man. So who are we going to obey; God or man? These offices set by the founding fathers was not set to succumb under the pressure of the people, but to insure man uphold the laws of God. The Devil has put on the squeeze and man has given in to the coercion and compromised the morals of God. Have mercy Lord. What�s to stop God from destroying this country like he did Sodom and Gomorrah? What�s there to impede his wrath? Why have we frustrated the purpose of God and obstructed his justice? God still wants to have mercy upon us in spite of man�s folly. Repent today.
We as a people are trusting in that which is not Spirit. We trust in stuff and things. We trust in possessions rather than the one that gives us all things. Christians are we helping the cause? Are we giving man a reason to sin? Are we upholding the blood stained banner of Jesus Christ? Are we standing in the way of sinners? Are we walking in the counsel of the ungodly? Do we too have lying lips and a deceitful tongue? Do we use the blessings of Christ�s kingdom for our own purposes? Behold Christ shall reign in righteousness and princes shall rule in judgment and a man shall be as an hiding place from the wind and a covert from the tempest; as rivers of water in a dry place as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land. The eyes of them that see shall not be dim, and the ears of them that hear shall hearken. The heart also of the rash shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of those that stutter shall be ready to speak plainly.
The vile person shall be no more called liberal, nor the churl said to be bountiful. We live in a time where the vile person will speak villainy, and his heart will work iniquity, to practice hypocrisy, and to utter error against the Lord, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail. The instruments also of the churl are evil; he devises wicked devices to destroy the poor with lying words, even when the needy speak right. The liberal soul shall be made fat. It�s time we feed our souls instead of our flesh. We in America eat too much. We are fat but not on the Word of God. We need the Spirit poured out fresh on us again from on high. We need the Spirit of God to be true in our hearts again that the wilderness within us be a fruitful field again and be counted for as a forest of righteousness that will remain fruitful.
The folly of trusting in man has caused the work of righteousness to not be at peace making the effect war instead of quietness and assurance forever. But when God shows up woe be to the watchman that has allowed these things to persevere over the Word of God. Judgment shall be pronounced and they will not go unpunished. Sure man has a right to choose righteousness from the beginning and they failed. Because of their ignorance to Satan�s devices was not an excuse. They were told to obey God like we are today. Obey and live, disobey, face the judgment and die. In God we live, move, and have our being so it is better to obey God than trust in the folly of man. If we fall out of God we fall into sin. If we fall into sin we drop down in hell. Hell is real and has enlarged itself with all those that seek to disobey God. It�s your right to choose today whom you will serve. Who you serve today will be who you serve tomorrow for eternity.

This project is not covered by Drupal's security advisory policy.
Domain Locale allows to customize language sets per domain for Drupal installs using Domain Access and core Locale module. This module also offers drush integration.
You need this module if:
For example:
If you have multiple domains such as:
- http://usa.example.com - using English (default), and Spanish;
- http://mex.example.com - using Spanish only
- http://che.example.com - using German as default, French, and Italian
- http://bra.example.com - using Portuguese Brazilian only.
A link is added to domain management section to administer domain specific languages. You can choose one or more from the enabled languages, change the weight they appear in for that domain and set default language for the domain. Updating this form will also keep language_default variable in Domain Conf in sync.
Things to keep in mind:
Set language negotiation to "Path prefix only" (
URL in Drupal 7). We are overriding $language in bootstrap hence overwriting any changes that might of been user's preferred language specific. Also user's preferred language might not exist all domains. You can leave the setting to "Path prefix with language fallback" but the language fallback will be overwritten.
1. make sure all languages have a prefix (by default English does not). This gives unique urls for all languages on all domains.
Drush commands (D7):
drush domain-locale-set
domain_machine_name '
list of language codes' --defalt=
language code
drush domain-locale-set usa.example.com 'en es' --default=en
- Drush Language - add new languanges to Drupal via drush. This module makes your life easier because you need a language already on the system in order to be enabled in a domain using Domain Locale.
