Taking the Challenge
Leduc County-Nisku Extrication Team Honoured
Tuesday, October 09, 2012
Leduc County-Nisku Extrication Team performs a mock extrication similar to the one used during the recent 2012 North American Extrication Challenge held in Nova Scotia. The team came in Second overall. Under the protective green tarp, a "driver" sits behind the wheel while another team member sits in the rear seat evaluating the victim and keeping her calm by describing what is happening.
From September 11-15, 2012, the Leduc County-Nisku Vehicle Extrication Team competed with 14 other teams from across Canada, the US, Sweden and the UK at the 2012 North American Vehicle Extrication Challenge near Halifax, Nova Scotia.
In a special ceremony, on September 25, Leduc County Deputy Mayor John Schoenwille presented the official award plaque to Incident Commander Rob Csolle and the entire six-man team and congratulated them on their Second Place North American win and their 4th Place Overall finish. The team was the only western Canadian team that qualified for the North American Challenge.
What are judges looking for in competition?
During competition, teams are judged via checklist on incident command, patient safety, tool knowledge, and stabilization. Each team competes in two scenarios-20 minutes in length. These times are designed to fit within the "Golden Hour" from the time a patient is in an accident until they are into surgery in the hospital. Sometimes only hand tools are allowed (this is known as a "Limited Pit"); at other times all tools, including hydraulic tools--the "Jaws of Life"--may be used (Unlimited Pit).
It is estimated expenses run about $15,000 per competition. The team does fundraising to meet travel expenses.
Each day 3205 people world wide will die as a result of a road collision--that's equal to eight jumbo jet crashes. In addition to the 1.17 million people killed each year on the world's roads, a further 35 million are estimated to be injured. With a major highway like Highway 2 running through the center of Leduc County, it's imperative that the team be well trained because an estimated 30% of calls Leduc Fire Services--Nisku & District Station No. 1 receives are to motor vehicle accidents.
Why take the challenge?
Auto extrication challenges at the local, provincial, national and international levels help train and test this specialized team in simulated crash scenes. Not only does the team practice automobile scenarios, they also train for big rig accidents. The objective is to get the victim out of the vehicle within minutes. The goal is to improve extrication safety by staying current with vehicle extrication practices and to share a wealth of ideas for improving life-saving techniques.
Incident Commander Rob Csolle said, "We prefer to look at it as challenging ourselves rather than competing with others."
A "video clip"of what happens during a typical extrication.
Watch an extrication demonstration and you will know that "competing with others" is the last thing the team thinks about as they work.
Speed is the operative word. Noisy is too! It's pure hubbub! You wonder how any progress can be made in such a cacophony of sound and motion. There is so much happening concurrently. It is a miracle the team isn't tripping over each other--but they do not! They are the model of efficiency thanks to many hours of practice and hundreds of extrication challenges. It can be likened to a well-executed dance-one meant to save lives as the precious seconds tick away.
Leduc County Communications Officer Amanda Miller sportingly played the driver "victim" during a mock accident demonstration immediately following the County award ceremony.
Here is what happens at an extrication:
First, a team member assesses the damage and dangers by doing a walk around evaluation. Once all the dangers are contained, the victim is tended to. As the saying goes, you are of no help if you are injured. After the hazards are neutralized, the vehicle is blocked to stabilize it and tripping hazards--mufflers, fenders, running boards--are pushed out of the way--even under the car if it is safe and handy. Tools are laid out, I suspect, in a prescribed manner.
Meanwhile, the team medic is quickly assessing the victim's medical condition visually and by questioning her.
Simultaneously, team members quickly wrap heavy-duty sticky tape (it looks like a large roll of clear food wrap) around the entire cab covering all the windows. Then, team members bang out the remaining windows and begin cutting the vehicle posts to ultimately lift off the car roof.
Now that there is an open window in the back seat area, the medic slides in through a smashed out window opening over a board resting on the window sill (which still holds glass shards) in order to avoid injuring himself. He then takes a position in the back seat behind the driver. As the medic continues asking medical assessment questions. He stabilizes the victim, takes vitals, does neuro checks, and reassures her by explaining, in a matter-of-fact manner, what is going to happen and he begins the necessary preparations for emergency transport.
Now you see them, now you don't.
Up to this point, foot-long boards have been somehow wedged between the non-broken windows and the victim offering protection from flying glass. Now, a large tarp is quickly maneuvered over both the victim and the medic as the remaining windows are smashed very quickly.
The whole time this is going on, the incident commander is shouting out directions and ever circling, circling, circling the vehicle--observing and making appropriate evaluations. The scene is noisy--all those power tools screaming, glass breaking, and members calling out what has been completed or what they are going to work on next. During this whole experience, the medic keeps talking to the victim, asking for contact information, and assessing her medical condition.
Blame it on the safety features.
The exercise has taken longer than everyone would like but it cannot be helped. Ironically, the very safety features that protect passengers in a serious roll over now hamper the speed of cutting through the vehicle posts.
At last, the roof is lifted, exposing the medic and the victim huddled under the tarp. A backboard and neck brace are raced to the victim. Extra team members climb into the cab to help secure and gently lift the victim out of the vehicle. She is now ready for transport.
In a rapid extraction exercise such as this, teams are given 10 minutes; at 3 minutes the patient becomes unstable. When seconds count, Leduc County-Nisku Extrication Team has the training and the hands-on practice to respond quickly, efficiently, and safely.
If you are interested in watching the team in action, they will be putting on a live extrication demonstration at Black Jacks, in Nisku, in the near future during the annual "Don't Drink and Drive" campaign. (Donations gladly accepted.)
If you would like to help with fundraising, Csolle said they are looking for sponsors. They also need cars to practice on. Please call the County if you can help.
Congratulations to the entire team for making us proud and for doing so well at the 28th Annual North American Vehicle Extrication Challenge. It's assuring to know we have such a well-trained extrication team in our County. A BIG thank you to Incident Commander Rob Csolle, Medic Rod Phillips, and Extrication Specialists Duane South, Tylor Bennett, Dave Sharratt, and Mike Overly.

MUMBAI: The Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) has sought 2,000 acres from the Maharashtra government at Dahanu to set up a gas-processing plant. The corporation has another plant at Uran.
The request follows a gas block find off the Dahanu coast. P K Borthakur, executive director, ONGC, who met chief secretary Ratnakar Gaikwad recently, said the government had responded positively to their request. "We have discovered 132 million cubic metres of gas in all categories. We want to set up a processing plant in phases over the next five years,'' said an official. The corporation is also considering setting up a power plant to generate electricity from gas, said sources.
The chief secretary has slated another meeting at the month-end to sort out the land allotment issue.Article continues

Alignment and calibration of high frequency ultrasound (HFUS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) 1D transducers using a dual wedge-tri step phantom. Medical Imaging 2011: Visualization, Image-Guided Procedures, and Modeling, edited by Kenneth H. Wong, David R. Holmes III Proceedings of SPIE Volume 7964,796428, 2011. http://dx.doi.org/10.1117/12.878182
|This paper introduces a novel alignment and calibration method for high frequency ultrasound (HFUS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) 1D transducers. 2D images are constructed by means of translation of the transducers using a linear motor stage. Physical alignment of the transducers is needed in order to capture images of the same crosssectional plane, and calibration is needed to determine the relative coordinates of the images, including the image skew. A dual wedge-tri step phantom is created for both alignment and calibration. This phantom includes two symmetrical wedges and three steps that provide the user with visual feedback on how well the scan plane is aligned with the midplane of the phantom. The phantom image consists of five line segments, each of which corresponds to one of the wedges or steps. The slopes and positions of the lines are extracted from the image and compared with the phantom model. The scan plane parameters are found so that the difference between the model and extracted features is minimized. The main advantage of this phantom is that only one frame is required to determine translations, orientations, and skew parameters of the scan plane with respect to the phantom. Experimental results with ocular imaging show the ability to achieve alignment based on this method and its potential for medical applications.

pmanmiles Posts: 2I replaced my altinator and while I removing the old altinator I forgot to unhook the battery. I saw a spark and then unhooked the battery and put in the new altinator. After I replaced everything I tried to start the car and nothing happened. I tried to jump it but nothing. No sound, not clicking noise just the battery lite shined brite and nothing else. What could be the problem? Can someone help me?
poliva2 Posts: 25I have an unfortunate situation. The thermostat on my 1999 Corolla is in a very difficult place place to reach. The dealer wanted 300 Dollars just for the Thermostat job and 49 for the Collant Flush. I postponed the Thermostat for next year and just settled for the Collant flush. I had my Thermostat changed 3 Years ago... Any advice??
uwbadger Posts: 2I have an 04 Corolla LE and like almost everything except the ugly fake wood trim. I'm starting to talk to service departments about parts needed and labor costs for replacing it with the standard black trim that comes in the CE, but wondering if anyone has had this done.
Anyone have a general idea on cost? Thanks.

brokenzippy Posts: 1Thank you journeyman7 for your response to my problem. I figured I'd start with the simple stuff first. I added some dry gas and carb cleaner and the car runs fine now. I did check the gas cap as you suggested and it does make the suction noise. (This is probably why I had to have the tank replaced.) I'm pretty sure that the cap is a replacement cap so I'm going to contact Toyota to see if they still make caps for this car. I suppose a junkyard might have one as well.
I really appreciate your advice. If I have to take it in for service for the same problem, I won't feel clueless.
Thanks again,
accord6mt Posts: 53My situation:
*1998 Corolla with 120K miles
*Was driving in stop & go traffic when smoke suddenly started pouring into passenger cabin.
*Pulled into a parking lot, opened hood and there was an electrical burning smell (along with lots of smoke).
*After the smoke cleared, everything looked OK except for the main wire(s) coming from the positive terminal of the battery... all of the wires that are bundled together and connect to the positive battery terminal are burned and melted.
*Right now, with the battery still connected, the car won't start - and nothing electrical works (even door light).
*If I hook up a starter battery to the car battery, all of the electrical components (windows, radio, horn, locks, lights, etc) WORK - but when I try to start, the engine makes a clicking noise (doesn't turn over).
I think it's an obvious short-circuit that caused the wire bundle to fry. The same bundle that comes from the positive terminal of the battery runs along the bottom of the engine block - I'm thinking the wire broke free of a plastic harness/mount, the insulation melted against the engine block, and a short-circuit occurred.
Ideas? ALSO, does anyone know if changing out the wire bundle that is connected to the positive battery terminal is expensive? I'm hoping the wire was compromised and all I need to do is purchase the same bundle of wires...
Thoughts? Thanks in advance for your help!
rjk711 Posts: 1Hey
I just took my 98 corolla in to have the engine looked at today because it was burning oil like crazy. I currently have to check it every 800-1000 miles. My engine was fine, apparently my car just burns oil. This has been a problem for a couple of years only this past year has been the worst. When i get my oil changed i just buy an extra 5 quart bottle and keep it in my trunk and fill every week the necessary amount.
I've been told there is not much else i can do.
(By the way, just had my timing chain replaced in the spring but that is because it is something that needs replacement every 60-70 k miles).
toyocoroll95 Posts: 1Hey ya'll,
I am a college student loving my 95 corolla automatic but am having some troubles out of it. One day when I was driving home, my interior lights went out. After I pulled over to make sure my exterior lights were ok, my car would not move out of park. So here I am stuck in a dark parking lot and my car stuck. The only way I got it home is that some man was able to yank the gear into drive. Days later I find out that none of my back light come on. I was advised by some other web site it was my brake light switch, but we tried that and my brake lights still don't come on and I still have to yank my gear out of park. What could be the problem? Has any one else ran into this problem and was able to get it fixed. I love my car and really don't want to get a new one, not to mention I don't have money for a new one. Please help!! :sick:
hammer3 Posts: 1Hi everybody, looks like a great forum. I have recently put a transmission in a 87 Corolla. 1.6 FWD . Carburated . Here is my question, this little car ran like brand new before the tranny job. after i finished off the tranny job i started the car up and it runs like crap, wont idle. not much power at all going down the road, the tranny shifts out fine. i have went through the whole car looking for vacum leaks. plugged off the egr all those sorts of things. i dont know where to go next, any help would be greatly appreciated..I might add, this car sat for about a year prior to the tranny swap. Hammer
Well i had a very similar problem. One day a cop pulled me over out of nowhere and said i had absolutly no braje lights. I freaked out and took it to my mecahnic, he told me it was my brake light switch. needless to say it wasnt that. I went through at least 6 in about a 2 month period. So my mechanic finally figured out that my car could no longer handle four brake light bulbs (weird enough for ya yet?). So we took one bulb out of each one. A week later they went again. I took it back and my mechanic put repeaters on them and now they work great. Now for your tans the part i belive they put on my car for that is called a sylanoid (check spelling and pronunciation). That is my experiance i hope this helps. Joe
corrollasadnes Posts: 3toyocoroll95,
Just went through this with my 96...
First check your brake light connections. You are going to need to unscrew them from the trunk, and check all bulbs and wires. There was a short in my brake light connection on the passenger side, first bulb in, the wires were fried, and we replaced them with something called a pigtail connector.You are also going to need to replace your 15amp fuse that runs your brake lights, as when there is a short it blows the fuse. This is why the car would not come out of park, there is a safety feature that will not allow you to drive it without brake lights . As a side note, if you are ever in the position that you cannot get it out of park again there is an override button to the right of your shifter, pop the little plastic piece off and push the button in with a screwdriver, and viola ..you can shift into drive.
Hope this helps !!!
sureshj Posts: 1Hi,
I just wanted to know if the engine in a 1995 Corolla has the "Toyota" name embossed on it. I am looking to buy a used one, but i saw that the engine in that car does not have a toyota name or symbol on it. Can some one confirm if the 95 corolla engines have the label on them or not.
eajonesgue Posts: 3My 1995 5 speed manual transmission just started to jump out of fifth gear into neutral, usually under a bit of load. It's fine in both 3rd and 1st gears. I can't remember the last time the tranny oil was changed and was going to do that. However, I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem and whether it just needs a linkage adjustment, or a $$$ overhaul?

Session Description: While abortion has been extensively studied by feminist sociologists, up until now far less attention has been paid to the experience of 'involuntary pregnancy loss', defined here as miscarriage, stillbirth and neonatal death. This situation is changing with more scholars turning their attention to deaths which occur at the beginning of life (see, for example, Davidson, 2011). Layne (2003), among others, has argued that women are ill-prepared for such losses. Indeed, as technologies of medicine provide more and more 'knowledge' about life inside the womb, parents are encouraged to construct the foetus in terms of a child earlier than ever before. Such medicalisation also allows parents to assume that there will be a live baby at the end of a pregnancy and so the death of the foetus/baby therefore, shakes the ontological security of the men and women who experience it (Murphy, 2009). We propose a 90-minute regular session with up to 4 presentations to allow scholars working in this area the chance to showcase and discuss their work and consider the current state of research in this area in order to identify future research topics.

• Dolphins owner Stephen Ross weighed in publicly in on his team's bullying scandal, and he said he plans to meet with Jonathan Martin on Wednesday after exchanging text messages with the second-year offensive lineman who left the team to seek treatment following alleged harassment by Richie Incognito and other teammates.
"I look forward to that meeting," Ross said. "I think that can help us move forward. I'd like to hear from him what had happened, why he felt that way and what we did and what we could have done to prevent something like this from happening. I want to hear the circumstances, the facts."
Ross also said he would meet with Incognito, insisting, "He deserves to be heard."
Ross spoke before Monday night's game, a loss to the previously winless Buccaneers. He did not address an ESPN report that Martin is not likely to return to the NFL this season and feels he can't play for the Dolphins ever again.
"It couldn't have been a worse nightmare," Ross said of the situation, adding that he's formed an advisory group that includes former coaches Tony Dungy and Don Shula, and former players Dan Marino, Jason Taylor and Curtis Martin.
"We need to look at ourselves. We have to examine everything internally," said Ross, who expressed confidence in coach Joe Philbin but did not voice support for general manager Jeff Ireland. "This is so appalling to me. I know I'm capable of overreacting. I want to get everybody's feedback because we all know the football locker room is a different workplace than most of us are accustomed to. I don't want to make any excuses."
• NHL commissioner Gary Bettman walked a fine line when discussing fighting in hockey and indicated he does not believe there is enough support among league executives to change the rules at this time.
"If somebody wants to change it, there needs to be a new consensus," he said Monday. "That's why the discussion's ongoing. Having said that, it continues to evolve as the game does. Four years ago, a shoulder hit to the head was not penalized. Now it'll get you suspended. We're going to continue to look at what we can do to keep the game physical but safe as possible."
One of the incidents that sparked the current debate was Flyers goalie Ray Emery beating on Capitals counterpart Braden Holtby, who was an unwilling participant. Bettman said he talked to Emery and asked him if he would have done the same thing if there was a rule that a goalie who crosses the red line to fight with another goalie would get a 10-game suspension.
Said Bettman of Emery's response: "He goes, 'What? Are you crazy?' "
NHL general managers will discuss possible rule changes Tuesday at their annual meeting, and that's believed to be one topic of discussion.
"I think the level of dialogue gets sparked by an occasional incident, and an incident of this nature when you look at everything else that is going on in the season was really a small pebble relative to a beach full of sand, which is seeing an incredibly entertaining season," Bettman said. "I think sometimes an incident, as rare as it might be, tends to get focused on disproportionately."
• Montreal Mayor-elect Denis Coderre got his relationship with the Canadiens off to a bad start.
Coderre, who was elected Nov. 3, tweeted during Sunday's win over the Islanders: Hello? Can we get a one-way ticket to Hamilton for David Desharnais please…
The team did not appreciate the public criticism of the struggling forward, with forward Max Pacioretty calling the comment embarrassing.
Added coach Michel Therien: "I really believe this is inappropriate from our mayor."

|Monday's Morning Mashup: Linebacker Bart Scott tries, fails to organize Jets' media boycott

♦ Just when you thought it might be quiet in the Jets locker room following Sunday's win over the Rams that ended a three-game losing streak, linebacker Bart Scott provided the controversy this team seems unable to avoid. Scott, unhappy about unnamed players criticizing backup quarterback Tim Tebow in a New York Daily News story last week, ordered his fellow defensive players to say nothing but, "Both teams played hard — anonymously," to reporters.
Scott's influence apparently isn't as strong as he thought, as at least two players — safety Yeremiah Bell and linebacker Bryan Thomas — ignored Scott's instructions. Scott yelled at Thomas, calling him "a [expletive] sellout." Interjected Bell: "Stop it. Just stop."
Scott then relented and spoke "calmly and openly to the media," according to the New York Post.
♦ Andrew Bynum, who has yet to play for the 76ers since being acquired from the Lakers in the offseason because of a bone bruise in his right knee, said Sunday that he injured his other knee bowling last Saturday night.
Bynum said the left knee swelled after the bowling, and on Tuesday an MRI revealed damaged cartilage.
"I didn't twist it or fall or nothing," Bynum said before his team played the Cavaliers. "It kind of broke off cartilage and it made the bone bruise bigger. Obviously [how] is the question, it's relatively nothing, it's three steps [and roll]. That's the most important thing and why everyone is being so cautious. I can't answer and [doctors] can't now either, we're trying to figure out what's going on."
Added Bynum: "Obviously in hindsight you shouldn't go bowling, but it's not more than anything I've done in my rehab."
♦ Red Wings defenseman Ian White is the latest player to check in with some negative comments about NHL commissioner Gary Bettman, and his might be the harshest.
"I've got to be honest: I personally think he's an idiot," White said. "Since he's come in, I think he's done nothing but damage the game."
This is the NHL's third lockout during Bettman's tenure. The last one forced the cancellation of the 2004-05 season.
"If you think of all the moves he's made, teams that are all struggling seem to be the teams that he put in places where there's not viable markets for hockey," White added. "Three work stoppages — I don't know if he's in control of the owners or what he's saying, but I think it's only seven of the owners that have to agree on something to have something pass. You'd think it'd be at least 50 percent. It just doesn't seem like they're running a democratic process, if you will."

|Coyotes forward Raffi Torres' suspension reduced
|07.02.12 at 4:31 pm ET
NHL commissioner Gary Bettman reduced Raffi Torres' suspension by four games. The decision was announced Monday. Bettman heard Torres' appeal on May 17.
Torres will now serve a 21-game suspension stemming from a late hit to the head of Blackhawks winger Marian Hossa in the first round of the playoffs.
The 30-year-old already served 13 games of the suspension in the playoffs, so he will have to miss eight games at the start of the 2012-13 season. He will retain more than $680,000 of potential lost pay.
Torres has been suspended twice before. When he appealed the suspension it was concerning the amount of games and not the fact he was suspended.
|Monday's Morning Mashup: Golf fan arrested after throwing hot dog at Tiger Woods

Welcome to Monday's Morning Mashup. For the latest news, start at our WEEI.com home page or click here for the top stories from our news wire.
NHL: Avalanche at Bruins, 1 p.m. (NESN)
♦ A 31-year-old man was arrested Sunday after running toward the seventh green at CordeValle golf course in San Martin, Calif., and throwing a hot dog in the direction of Tiger Woods during the final round of the Frys.com Open. "I was kind of focusing on my putt when he started yelling," said Woods, who finished in a tie for 30th. "Next thing I know, he laid on the ground and looked like he wanted to be arrested, really, because he laid on the ground, put his hands behind his back and turned his head."
The man told police he wasn't throwing the hot dog at Woods, even though he called Woods' name before tossing it in the air. "He was very cooperative," Sgt. Jose Cardoza said. "They said, 'Why did you do this?' He just shook his head in guilt or remorse. He didn't give a reason why he did it."
♦ Gary Bettman, who was booed by Vancouver fans when he awarded the Stanley Cup to the Bruins in June, was cheered in Winnipeg Sunday as the new Jets played their first regular-season home game, 15 years after the previous version of the team departed for Phoenix. "A great day for the city of Winnipeg, the province of Manitboa, the entire country of Canada," Bettman said.
♦ Brad Pitt has a hit with his portrayal of A's general manager Billy Beane in "Moneyball," and now Clint Eastwood appears headed for a starring role in a baseball movie. Eastwood reportedly will play a veteran scout who is trying to find one last prospect before he loses his sight in the movie "Trouble With the Curve."
ON THIS DAY TRIVIA: On Oct. 10, 1999, the Red Sox exploded for 23 runs on 24 hits, both postseason records, in a 23-7 rout of the Indians in Game 4 of the American League Division Series. Which Indians ace who would later go on to pitch for the Red Sox took the loss?
|Winnipeg sells 13,000 season tickets in 17 minutes
|06.04.11 at 6:54 pm ET
It didn't take long for the NHL's newest franchise to reach it's goal for season ticket sales. In fact, it didn't even take 20 minutes.
The former Atlanta Thrashers set out to sell 13,000 season tickets by June 21, but shortly after fans were able to buy tickets Saturday at noon, Winnipeg reached its goal with ease. According to the Winnipeg Sun, the total reached 13,000 within 17 minutes.
"While I had no doubt the 'Drive to 13,000′ would reach its destination," NHL commissioner Gary Bettman said, "the remarkable speed at which it got there certifies the fans' hunger for NHL hockey and their commitment to True North's initiatives."
|NHL: Deal not done to move Thrashers to Winnipeg
|05.20.11 at 8:41 am ET
The NHL was abuzz Thursday night with talk of the Thrashers relocating to Winnipeg, but the party in Manitoba may have started a bit early.
Atlanta owners still are heavily engaged in talks with True North Sports and Entertainment in Winnipeg, but company spokesman Scott Brown has denied the reported move in The Canadian Press as "not true."
The Thrashers could very well end up north of the border, but NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman is not willing to confirm anything just yet.
"I can tell you with certainty that there is no deal for this team to move," Bettman said. "Am I predicting that there will never be or that there won't be at some point in time? No, I'm not saying there is or there isn't."
Thrashers part owner Bruce Levenson has announced his desire to keep the team in Atlanta, but he has come up empty in his two-year search for a buyer.
If a deal goes through, Winnipeg would get its first NHL team since losing the Jets to Phoenix in 1996.
|NHL GMs decide not to ban hits to head
|03.16.11 at 6:40 am ET
At the NHL general managers meetings in Boca Raton, Fla., GMs decided Tuesday not to recommend a ban on hits to the head. Some other suggestions were made instead to try to cut down on concussions.
GMs will push for tighter enforcement of charging and boarding penalties and ask for longer suspensions for illegal head hits, especially for repeat offenders.
"By the time the season is over there will be 55,000 hits, and a small percentage are resulting in concussions," commissioner Gary Bettman said. "We want to eliminate concussions, but the view is if we can define a rule that makes sense and doesn't cause other problems in the game, we're going to try and do that."
|Report: NHL concussion numbers on the rise
|01.31.11 at 10:33 am ET
Although there has been a decrease in blindside hits to the head, the number of concussions in the NHL is still increasing, according to a preliminary report received by the NHL board of governors Saturday.
Commissioner Gary Bettman told The Associated Press that the majority of concussions this season have come from accidental or legal hits rather than the illegal hits the league has cracked down on.
"We've seen players suffer concussions this season when they've stumbled into the boards or other players without any contact at all," Bettman said. "We've seen players suffer concussions when struck by pucks in the head, we've seen players concussed when they collide with teammates, and when they were hit legally and without head contact after which their heads have struck either the ice or the boards or the glass.
"The biggest increase in instances of concussions this season and the biggest increase in man-games lost, is from these types of so-called accidental or inadvertent contact."

Publix is a GREAT COMPANY! They have competitive prices, the most friendly staff, good store brand products, clean stores, and they are very customer oriented. I have greatly missed our local store on International. Currently Bight House and Publix are my top picks when it comes to customer service. Both companies are also very good corporate citizens. Going to Wal-Mart has become a hellish experience. Wal-Mart's hiring practices have gone to hell. At night you can not differentiate the bums out front from the employees inside. Wal-Mart has a beauty shop inside the store, perhaps they should offer free hair cuts to the bums that they have working for them.
Are you sure this is what you would like to do?

I'm new here.
I see on Dugi's World of Warcraft Guide:
A series of servers operates World of Warcraft. The server location, or in WoW language known as 'Realms', is differ depending on where you are. The realms positioned globally and you just need to connect to whichever realms local to you. This will make your the game faster and more reliable. But don't worry. World of Warcraft realms are very reliable and well maintained. Another reason why WoW is the leader in MMORPG.
So, how to create a MMO server?
Oh I've tell you, that my computer running Windows 7 Professional SP1.

What also seems to have faded over the years is the journalistic genre Pyle was a master of: the "human-interest" story, as it was once so widely and quaintly known. Tethered only loosely—if at all—to the news, human-interest stories were based on the premise that humans were inherently interesting, and that other humans were interested in reading about them. Such stories remain a staple for metro columnists at daily newspapers, but theirs is a dwindling band. (A notable and enduring holdout is David Johnson at Idaho's Lewiston Tribune, who for a quarter-century now has been opening the local phone book at random to find the subjects for his "Everyone Has a Story" column.) And CBS News recently resurrected the On the Road franchise once held by the late, and avowedly Pyle-esque, Charles Kuralt.
But when the lives of non-newsmakers make it into the news these days, it tends to be for reasons other than simple human interest. They are usually characters in a larger drama, illustrations of a bigger story—the family fighting foreclosure, the unemployed breadwinner looking for a job. The Internet is dense with the minutiae of ordinary lives, from diary musings to elaborate video productions, but much of it is impenetrably private, and spread randomly across an unmapped wilderness. Fewer reporters with Pyle's kind of curiosity and empathy, or his regular forum, are artfully crafting all that minutiae into stories that, like his, speak to a wider audience. America has more than twice as many people now as it did during his Home Country wanderings. Are their lives not worth the attention of professional storytellers?
The traditional apprenticeship system of journalism tends to move reporters steadily up a ladder from small stories to bigger ones. Young reporters cover cops and courts, maybe try some features and sports, at a small paper or station, learning how to get inside the lives of people unlikely to ever draw the attention of a glossy magazine or national network. But as they rise, they tend to leave those smaller stories behind; it's the big stories, after all, where the prizes wait. What Pyle never forgot as he rose is that all stories are, at heart, small stories. All the best stories, no matter how big, are built around human beings faced with something tragic or joyous, epic or transcendent. And he remembered that when he parked his Ford and crossed the Atlantic into the biggest story of all.
The index of brave men, like the index of Home Country, is nothing but names and places: the servicemen Pyle interviewed, and the hometowns they left when they marched off to war. Enlisted men outnumber officers. General George Patton is not in the index. Captain Henry T. Waskow of Belton, Texas, is.
"I was at the foot of the mule trail the night they brought Captain Waskow down," Pyle wrote in what might be my favorite sentence in all of journalism—an entire philosophy and methodology in sixteen words.
Waskow was a company commander in the 36th Division, fighting in the mountains of Italy, and he was loved by his men in a way that no one else would have ever known had Pyle not been there to witness it. Pyle was with them before Waskow died, and he was with them when Waskow's body came down the mountain lashed to the back of a mule, and he was with them as they gently said their goodbyes. It was Pyle's most famous column, taking up the whole front page of The Washington Daily News, and providing a narrative frame for the movie Hollywood made about him, The Story of G. I. Joe.

Viola O Strips and Spreads
I like it when I'm right. In my debut post of busty Viola O naked on a beach I stated that "I have a feeling that we will see plenty of her in the near future." and looky here.. new set on a new site! She is dropping her top and shorts for Twistys and in addition to those juicy boobies I'm noticing a trend of spread legs with her.
Even though I appreciate the gesture I've always felt that unless a woman is spreading wide in front of me so I can stick my cock in her, it does nothing for me in pics or vids. I like you Viola but close em up a little.

Brechin Castle - Living Legend
Brechin Castle and the splendid Castle Gardens have been in the Dalhousie Family since the 17th Century. The estate encompasses 55,000 acres of stunning countryside in Angus County. Lord Dalhousie is clan chieftain of Clan Maule of Panmure in Angus and Clan Ramsay of Dalhousie in Midlothian. Brechin Castle stands on a rock bluff above the River Southesk on the site of an older fortress.
The original stone castle was constructed during the thirteenth century. The present house was reconstructed in the early 1700's and incorporates parts of the original Castle. The building has evolved from a defensive role to its present great house style. In 1643 Patrick Maule, 1st Earl of Panmure, bought the Brechin Property from the Earl of Mar. At that time it was a simple three storied L shaped house. It was the 4th Earl of Panmure who rebuilt the Castle as it is today. The property went out the family when James, the 4th and last Earl of Panmure took part in the rebellion of 1715. He died in exile in France and his estates were forfeited. His wife obtained a long lease of Brechin Castle from the purchasers, the York Buildings Company and the family later recovered it.
Brechin has one of the finest private gardens in Scotland, covering forty acres of planted parkland and includes the famous walled garden. The gardens link to the castle by woodland paths. The first formally designed landscaping for Brechin Castle Gardens was done by Alexander Edward for the 4th Earl of Panmure. Since then there have been many improvements, including the addition of shrub and woodland garden in the early 20th century. The walled garden covers an area of more than 13 acres.
The Dalhousie Estates is a working estate providing employment to over 90 staff, many of whom live on the Estate. The wide range of business activities includes farming, forestry, property letting, shooting, fishing and deer stalking. The Estate offers a variety of holiday accommodation including four self-catering cottages in the beautiful landscape of Glenesk, a fine family house, Dalhousie Lodge and other lodges. They also run Brechin Castle Centre, a garden centre, restaurant and visitorŌĆÖs centre.

I have a great desire to learn about this attractive and intoxicating piece of history

I remember Breching Castle very well. As a boy of around 11, I used to deliver the evening paper from a local shop at the bottom of the High St in Brechin, through the grounds to the castle. I can still feel the goose bumps and the hair standing up on the back of my neck.

After more than a month of school days, and school lunches served for the 2012-2013 year, Superintendent Mike Ruth says the new contracted school lunch program seems to be receiving pretty good reviews.
The Miller School District's Board of Education decided to contract with CBM Managed Services, Sioux Falls, to oversee all aspects of the food service and management. CBM develops the menu and recipes, hires personnel, sets prices, and makes sure the menus follow federal regulations.
A district must be in compliance with regulations or risk losing reimbursement for eligible lunches served.
District superintendent Mike Ruth commented, "I don't believe we've come across any more issues than other schools in the state or nation. Everyone has to adhere to federal regulations regarding nutrition and portion sizes. Districts that aren't using a contracted service still have to conform to the regulations."
Federal regulations are mandated through the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service, and state guidelines are set forth in the Child and Adult Nutrition Program.
Ruth said the big issue is portion sizes. "Limiting the portion size of entrees is in response to the rise in childhood obesity. The idea is to promote eating more fruits and vegetables."
There are always five or six choices of fruits and vegetables available, Ruth said, and kids can eat all they want. "The negatives are the size of entrée portions, and the fact that if they want more than one portion, they have to pay for it. It's been pointed out that students have a long day, often have activities after school, and it's a long time between meals.
"On the plus side, the flavor of the food is excellent. I haven't heard any complaint about the taste, and the variety of the entrees is great. The portion size is the big adjustment."
For instance, a recent entrée choice was either a beef and cheese whole-grain burrito or whole-grain pepperoni pizza. Both entrees were popular and tasty; however, many of the students would have appreciated a second burrito or another slice of pizza.
"I think it will take a little getting used to, it's hard to make a change overnight," Ruth said, "but the meals and portion sizes are meeting the nutrition guidelines."
In addition to the noon meal, hot breakfast is available for students in grades 7-12, and a cold "grab 'n go" breakfast is available for K-6 students. Elementary students also have a fruit/vegetable snack break in the afternoon.
Cindy Arland is in charge of the meal preparation, and CBM wants a total of four employees. A director from CBM is also often on site. Ruth said a great amount of paperwork is involved, required by regulation.
"Any adult—parent, grandparent, friend—is welcome to come by any day for a meal," Ruth said. The menus are posted weekly in The Miller Press and are also on the school's website (www.miller.k12.sd.us), under "calendars."
Final Rule Nutrition Standards in the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs can be found on the USDA website under www.fns.usda.gov/cnd/governance/legislation/nutrition standards.htm.

ReminderLiterature @ Lunchtime . At first I was a little shocked to find this written in my school diary. I hadn't written it, the hastily drawn smiley face appeared to me like a smug grin that knew something I didn't. Then I recognised the handwriting, Mum must've written it before I packed my bag this morning, I thought. With a shrug I went to class, it was almost lunch so I was grateful for the reminder.Reminder by aPelican
Go to E5 after school. Another day, another note in my diary and yet another event I must have forgotten about. In my ignorance I was glad at least somebody was looking out for me when I wasn't. My mind darted back to some mention of the room E5 earlier in the week, confirming the validity of the reminder. I silently thanked my mum for looking out for me.
At the end of class the bell went, I packed my bag at my locker and went to pee.
By the time I reached the E-block, the majority of the students had already left the grounds, I hoped I wasn

It was just after 8:45 a.m. ET on Sept. 11, 2001, when the first jet struck the World Trade Center in New York City and the worst terrorist attack in the nation's history began. Nearly 3,000 people died.
At that time this morning, many Americans paused for a moment of silence. President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama were among them.
The White House, which webcast this morning's marking of the solemn anniversary by the president, says he will also visit the Pentagon for a 9:30 a.m. ET ceremony to remember those who died there 12 years ago. That too will be webcast.
At ground zero in New York City, family members of those killed in both the 2001 and 1993 World Trade Center attacks have been invited to read their loved ones' names once again. There's a webcast of that ceremony here, starting at 8:39 a.m. ET.
There will also be a ceremony at the Flight 93 National Memorial in southwestern Pennsylvania. Ground was broken there Tuesday for a new visitors center.
The White House also asks Americans to take part in the "September 11th National Day of Service and Rememberence."
Update at 8:48 a.m. ET. White House Ceremony:
At 8:45 a.m. ET, the Obamas, Vice President Biden and Jill Biden walked from the White House on to the South Lawn. They were trailed by a military honor guard and joined on the lawn by members of the White House staff.
Bells tolled three times. Then "Taps" was played. At 8:47 a.m. ET, the couples returned to the White House. The only sounds heard besides the bells and "Taps" were those of birds. We'll leave the webcast player on this post because it should show the 9:30 a.m. ET event at the Pentagon.

It looks increasingly likely that a new Tory Prime Minister shall be kissing the Queen's hand in early May next year. It's much less likely that as the fresh-faced MP for Witney moves into Number 10 there shall be a skirl of pipes and drums and much waving and cheering at Edinburgh's Market Cross when the traditional announcement is made three days afterwards.
The incoming Conservative administration shall inherit a country much changed since they were unceremoniously turfed from office in 1997. We now have a minimum wage across the UK, we have forces under fire overseas and independent central bank and of course there is devolved government in Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland.
When London-born and Eton-educated David Cameron takes over from Govan-born and Kirkcaldy-educated Gordon Brown, there will be a significant shift in the focus and powerbase of British politics. True, Cameron has Scottish blood but the new party of government will be free from the strong direct Scottish influence that has been present round the cabinet table for the past twelve years.
Even when Mrs Thatcher swept to power in 1979 she had a troop of twenty two Scottish MPs. Thatcher's deputy was her loyal "Willie" - Willie Whitelaw - who was a highlander and erstwhile Scots Guard. Also in the first cabinet was the late "Gentleman George" Younger the Secretary of State for Scotland. Another Scot Malcolm Rifkind eventually secured his place as did Shetlander Norman Lamont. Lord Mackay of Clashfern was the Lord Advocate and the flamboyant Nicolas Fairbairn who sported colourful tartan trews was the Solicitor General.
John Major's governments, which by then returned depleted ranks of Scottish Tory MPs, enjoyed the service of four Scottish MPs in the Cabinet and like Mrs Thatcher relied upon the wise counsel of Lord Mackay as his Lord Chancellor.
When last the UK was governed by the Tories they had three Scottish MPs in the cabinet - Ian Lang; Malcolm Rifkind and Michael Forsyth. At the 1997 election they were left without a single Scottish seat. Scotland, like Wales, on the morning of 2 May 1997 was a Tory free-zone.
Glasgow-born and Edinburgh-educated Tony Blair's first cabinet had five Scottish MPs and a Scottish Lord Chancellor. His Scots successor also has a Scottish Chancellor, a Scottish Overseas Development Secretary, a Secretary of State for Scotland representing a seat once viewed as one of Scotland's safest for the Tories and a Scottish Minister for Business.
The massive influence of Scots in government at present is highly significant but that is almost certainly set to erode in nine months' time if pollsters are accurate.
But, even the rosiest forecaster would not expect that Cameron's Conservatives will have much of a revival in electoral fortunes north of Hadrian's wall. The "Cameron Effect" has so far failed to materialise.
The most optimistic prediction would give the Tories a carload of MPs but most commentators expect that their sole Scottish Westminster parliamentarian David Mundell may be joined by only one colleague to share a taxi to the House of Commons.
Does it even matter that there will only be one Scottish MP in cabinet and only one other Scots voice round the table? [Liam Fox who hails from East Kilbride but represents Woodspring]. Perhaps some would argue this is reflective of a party that will also focus its attention on the south of the UK and leave Scotland to its own devices. That said, the Tory leader in Scotland does attend some Shadow Cabinet meetings and is expected to be part of a more inclusive Cameron approach.
Certainly it is the Scottish Parliament that is the focus of political power here but recent events in the economy have demonstrated that having good relations between UK and Scottish Government is crucial.
Perhaps not having a Scottish Prime Minister with a lot of political baggage who lives in the shadow of the Forth Bridge and is as Presbyterian as John Knox could actually be a good thing for Scotland. It could force a grown-up approach and not relying so heavily on familiar ties - effectively allowing a "reset" button to be pressed between the two governments.
SNP First Minister Alex Salmond does enjoy a good relationship with the Scottish Tory leader and there is no apparent sign of the personal enmity with David Cameron that has been evident in relations with Labour's Prime Ministers.
At the same time, the Tories in the Scottish Parliament have been accused of effectively propping up the minority SNP Government and being in informal coalition: so the challenge will be for the Tories to be in government at the UK and seen to be in "constructive" opposition in Holyrood and vice versa for the SNP.
What does assist is that there is no electoral threat from the Tories to the minority SNP, which may well influence the dynamic of things - with Labour and SNP neck and neck in the Scottish Parliament the Tories are a distant third place.
Just how the new Cameron government will deal with Scotland will be anticipated keenly by all here. And as the spending belt is tightened from Westminster it is how the Scottish Government will rise to the challenge and not hit out for its own sake but seek to be engaged in a mature debate that will focus attention.
There also remains further "unfinished business" in moving devolution forward - particularly if the aspects of constitutional reform signed up to by the Conservatives through the Calman Commission are ever to be realised.
There is no doubt the election of 2010 will yield results for the anticipated winning UK party very different from their hay day in 1955 when they had a majority of Scottish seats. It will bring about a new era in cross-border relations with some challenging times ahead and should Cameron succeed in making devolution work better he may even revive electoral fortunes for his party and lead to him being heralded by pipes and drums in the land of his fore bearers...
