Tepid on gun control: Reid's cautious reaction
"I thank the President's task force for its thoughtful recommendations," Reid said. "I am committed to ensuring that the Senate will consider legislation that addresses gun violence and other aspects of violence in our society early this year."
Reid did add that "we are not doing enough" to combat gun violence and that "all options should be on the table." But in sum his remarks were decidedly lukewarm. They were the sort of comments politicians give when they want to appear open to a proposal they really wish would go away.
Reid, of course, is from Nevada, where guns are ingrained in the culture. Because of that, he has been so friendly to gun-owner rights over the years that the NRA's Wayne LaPierre once called him "a true champion of the Second Amendment back in Washington, D.C."
Reid knows that at least seven Senate Democrats could lose their seats this year by voting for strict gun control measures, according to several Washington political reporters. Liberals will blame this on the NRA. Really, it's because so many voters are wary of government efforts to control guns, which is something New Hampshire's delegation needs to keep in mind.

Virtusa Corporation (NASDAQ: VRTU), a global IT services company that offers a broad range of information technology services, including IT consulting, technology implementation and application outsourcing, today announced that it has been named a winner of the 2012 WITSA Global ICT Excellence Awards for its Àkura School Management System. The 2012 WITSA Awards recognize organizations whose use of IT has exhibited exceptional achievement in Public Sector Excellence, Private Sector Excellence, Digital Opportunity and Sustainable Growth.
"Our goal in creating the Àkura School Management System was simple: to bring together school management, teachers, students and parents to enhance the quality of education," said Kris Canekeratne, chairman and CEO at Virtusa. "As an organization, we are committed to sustainability and it is through efforts like this that we can collaboratively improve education, healthcare and the environment on a global level. We are thrilled to be one of five organizations honored by WITSA for our commitment to corporate social responsibility."
"The School Management System introduced by Virtusa is guaranteed to change the landscape of administration within schools around the country," said Rev. Fr. Sylvester Ranasinghe, principal, St. Joseph's College, Sri Lanka. "It is easy to implement and adopt and will undoubtedly be a fantastic managerial tool to aid principals, teachers and parents in planning and prioritizing classes, lesson plans and more. Time spent on manual administration of daily activities can be cut down tremendously and all energy can be focused on improving the children's education."
Honored in WITSA's Digital Opportunity Award category, Virtusa's Àkura School Management System facilitates the daily administrative activities of a school and provides user-friendly dashboards to manage them. Àkura allows school authorities to maintain operational and master data on teachers, parents and students, and provides an online portal through which teachers and parents can collaboratively view students' progress. Additionally, Àkura enables school management to track the progress of teachers.
The system includes a free, open source, dynamic web-enabled application that schools around the world can download and install at no cost to effectively and efficiently manage their environments. Easily customizable, the software provides robust security features to define access rights, streamlines attendance recording in schools and offers innovative reporting capabilities.
Developed under Virtusa's Tech Reach initiative, the Àkura School Management System was initially developed for St. Joseph's College Colombo, Sri Lanka in 2011. It was made internationally available in February 2012 and since then, has been adopted by schools and universities in 130 countries and downloaded more than 6,000 times. Àkura is just one of Virtusa's many key Tech Reach initiatives that focus on using IT in an innovative way to empower and enhance the quality of life, create opportunities for the community members and unleash the full potential of the community.
Virtusa's Àkura School Management System represents an important part of the company's overall sustainability focus which is based on four pillars: Digital Reach, Tech Reach, Code Green and Campus Reach. Virtusa's Digital Reach program promotes digital literacy by increasing access to useful information technology, while Tech Reach initiatives allow the company to apply its technical skills to positively impact surrounding communities. Through the Code Green project, Virtusa drives several key environmental initiatives to improve the global footprint and encourage sustainability. Finally, through Campus Reach, Virtusa aims to be the model corporate contributor to academic institutions.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

Love is any of a number of emotions and experiences related to a sense of strong affection and attachment. The word love can refer to a variety of different feelings, states, and attitudes, ranging from generic pleasure to intense interpersonal attraction. The word love is both a verb and a noun. Love is not a single feeling but an emotion built from two or more feelings. Anything vital to us creates more than one feeling, and we also have feelings about our feelings (and thoughts about our feelings).

text: Molecular Pain - Latest Articles http://www.molecularpain.com The latest research articles published by Molecular Pain 2014-11-27T00:00:00Z Characteristics of dorsal root ganglia neurons sensitive to Substance P Background: Substance P modulates ion channels and the excitability of sensory neurons in pain pathways. Within the heterogeneous population of Dorsal Root Ganglia (DRG) primary sensory neurons, the properties of cells that are sensitive to Substance P are poorly characterized. To define this population better, dissociated rat DRG neurons were tested for their responsiveness to capsaicin, ATP and acid. Responses to ATP were classified according to the kinetics of current activation and desensitization. The same cells were then tested for modulation of action potential firing by Substance P. Results: Acid and capsaicin currents were more frequently encountered in the largest diameter neurons. P2X3-like ATP currents were concentrated in small diameter neurons. Substance P modulated the excitability in 20 of 72 cells tested (28%). Of the Substance P sensitive cells, 10 exhibited an increase in excitability and 10 exhibited a decrease in excitability. There was no significant correlation between sensitivity to capsaicin and to Substance P. Excitatory effects of Substance P were strongly associated with cells that had large diameters, fired APs with large overshoots and slowly decaying after hyperpolarizations, and expressed acid currents at pH 7. No neurons that were excited by Substance P presented P2X3-like currents. In contrast, neurons that exhibited inhibitory effects of Substance P fired action potentials with rapidly decaying after hyperpolarizations. Conclusion: We conclude that excitatory effects of Substance P are restricted to a specific neuronal subpopulation with limited expression of putative nociceptive markers. http://www.molecularpain.com/content/10/1/73 Eder Moraes Christopher Kushmerick Ligia Naves Molecular Pain 2014, null:73 2014-11-27T00:00:00Z doi:10.1186/1744-8069-10-73 /content/figures/1744-8069-10-73-toc.gif Molecular Pain 1744-8069 ${item.volume} 73 2014-11-27T00:00:00Z PDF Lysophosphatidic acid and its receptors LPA1 and LPA3 mediate paclitaxel-induced neuropathic pain in mice Background: Paclitaxel, which is widely used for the treatment of solid tumors, causes neuropathic pain via poorly understood mechanisms. Previously, we have demonstrated that lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) and its receptors (LPA1 and LPA3) are required for the initiation of peripheral nerve injury-induced neuropathic pain. The present study aimed to clarify whether LPA and its receptors could mediate paclitaxel-induced neuropathic pain. Results: Intraperitoneal administration of paclitaxel triggered a marked increase in production of LPA species (18:1-, 16:0-, and 18:0-LPA) in the spinal dorsal horn. Also, we found significant activations of spinal cytosolic phospholipase A2 and calcium-independent phospholipase A2 after the paclitaxel treatment. The paclitaxel-induced LPA production was completely abolished not only by intrathecal pretreatment with neurokinin 1 (NK1) or N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist, but also in LPA1 receptor-deficient (Lpar1 −/−) and LPA3 receptor-deficient (Lpar3 −/−) mice. In addition, the pharmacological blockade of NK1 or NMDA receptor prevented a reduction in the paw withdrawal threshold against mechanical stimulation after paclitaxel treatments. Importantly, the paclitaxel-induced mechanical allodynia was absent in Lpar1 −/− and Lpar3 −/− mice. Conclusions: These results suggest that LPA1 and LPA3 receptors-mediated amplification of spinal LPA production is required for the development of paclitaxel-induced neuropathic pain. http://www.molecularpain.com/content/10/1/71 Hitoshi Uchida Jun Nagai Hiroshi Ueda Molecular Pain 2014, null:71 2014-11-19T00:00:00Z doi:10.1186/1744-8069-10-71 /content/figures/1744-8069-10-71-toc.gif Molecular Pain 1744-8069 ${item.volume} 71 2014-11-19T00:00:00Z XML Optogenetic activation of brainstem serotonergic neurons induces persistent pain sensitization Background: The rostral ventromedial medulla (RVM) is a key brainstem structure that conveys powerful descending influence of the central pain-modulating system on spinal pain transmission and processing. Serotonergic (5-HT) neurons are a major component in the heterogeneous populations of RVM neurons and in the descending pathways from RVM. However, the descending influence of RVM 5-HT neurons on pain behaviors remains unclear. Results: In this study using optogenetic stimulation in tryptophan hydroxylase 2 (TPH2)- Channelrhodopsin 2 (ChR2) transgenic mice, we determined the behavioral effects of selective activation of RVM 5-HT neurons on mechanical and thermal pain behaviors in vivo. We found that ChR2-EYFP-positive neurons strongly co-localized with TPH2-positive (5-HT) neurons in RVM. Optogenetic stimulation significantly increased c-fos expression in 5-HT cells in the RVM of TPH2-ChR2 mice, but not in wild type mice. Behaviorally, the optogenetic stimulation decreased both mechanical and thermal pain threshold in an intensity-dependent manner, with repeated stimulation producing sensitized pain behavior for up to two weeks. Conclusions: These results suggest that selective activation of RVM 5-HT neurons exerts a predominant effect of pain facilitation under control conditions. http://www.molecularpain.com/content/10/1/70 You-Qing Cai Wei Wang Yuan-Yuan Hou Zhizhong Pan Molecular Pain 2014, null:70 2014-11-19T00:00:00Z doi:10.1186/1744-8069-10-70 /content/figures/1744-8069-10-70-toc.gif Molecular Pain 1744-8069 ${item.volume} 70 2014-11-19T00:00:00Z XML Enhanced behavioral responses to cold stimuli following CGRP¿ sensory neuron ablation are dependent on TRPM8 Background: Calcitonin gene-related peptide-α (CGRPα) is a classic marker of peptidergic nociceptive neurons and is expressed in myelinated and unmyelinated dorsal root ganglia (DRG) neurons. Recently, we found that ablation of Cgrpα-expressing sensory neurons reduced noxious heat sensitivity and enhanced sensitivity to cold stimuli in mice. These studies suggested that the enhanced cold responses were due to disinhibition of spinal neurons that receive inputs from cold-sensing/TRPM8 primary afferents; although a direct role for TRPM8 was not examined at the time. Results: Here, we ablated Cgrpα-expressing sensory neurons in mice lacking functional TRPM8 and evaluated sensory responses to noxious heat, cold temperatures, and cold mimetics (acetone evaporative cooling and icilin). We also evaluated thermoregulation in these mice following an evaporative cold challenge. We found that ablation of Cgrpα-expressing sensory neurons in a Trpm8 -/- background reduced sensitivity to noxious heat but did not enhance sensitivity to cold stimuli. Thermoregulation following the evaporative cold challenge was not affected by deletion of Trpm8 in control or Cgrpα-expressing sensory neuron-ablated mice. Conclusions: Our data indicate that the enhanced behavioral responses to cold stimuli in CGRPα sensory neuron-ablated mice are dependent on functional TRPM8, whereas the other sensory and thermoregulatory phenotypes caused by CGRPα sensory neuron ablation are independent of TRPM8. http://www.molecularpain.com/content/10/1/69 Eric McCoy Mark Zylka Molecular Pain 2014, null:69 2014-11-19T00:00:00Z doi:10.1186/1744-8069-10-69 /content/figures/1744-8069-10-69-toc.gif Molecular Pain 1744-8069 ${item.volume} 69 2014-11-19T00:00:00Z XML HDAC and HAT inhibitors differently affect analgesia mediated by group II metabotropic glutamate receptors Background: Histone deacetylases (HDACs) and histone acetyltransferases (HATs) are key players in epigenetic regulation of gene expression. Analgesic activity by HDAC inhibitors has been reported in different pain models including inflammatory and neuropathic pain. These drugs interfere with gene expression through different mechanisms including chromatin remodeling and/or activation of transcription factors. Among other targets, HDAC inhibitors regulate metabotropic glutamate receptors type 2 (mGlu2) expression in central and peripheral central nervous system. However whether inhibition of HAT activity also regulates mGlu2 expression has not been reported.FindingsHere we report that curcumin (CUR), a naturally occurring compound endowed with p300/CREB-binding protein HAT inhibitory activity, is able to induce a drastic down-regulation of the mGlu2 receptor in the mouse spinal cord after systemic administration together with a marked hypoacetylation of histones H3 and H4 in dorsal root ganglia (DRG). Furthermore, the analgesic activity of the mGlu2/3 agonist, LY379268 is lost after a 3-day treatment with CUR. Conversely the analgesic activity of LY379268 is potentiated in mice pretreated for 5 consecutive days with the HDAC inhibitor, Suberoylanilide Hydroxamic Acid (SAHA), known to induce mGlu2-upregulation. Conclusions: Our results demonstrate that systemically injected CUR is able to inhibit H3 and H4 acetylation in the DRG and to down-regulate mGlu2 receptors in the spinal cord. We also demonstrate that long term modification of the mGlu2 expression affects the analgesic properties of the orthosteric mGlu2/3 agonist, LY379268. These data open up the possibility that epigenetic modulators might be given in combination with "traditional" drugs in a context of a multi target approach for a better analgesic efficacy. http://www.molecularpain.com/content/10/1/68 Magda Zammataro Maria Sortino Carmela Parenti Robert Gereau Santina Chiechio Molecular Pain 2014, null:68 2014-11-18T00:00:00Z doi:10.1186/1744-8069-10-68 /content/figures/1744-8069-10-68-toc.gif Molecular Pain 1744-8069 ${item.volume} 68 2014-11-18T00:00:00Z XML TRPV1 antagonist attenuates postoperative hypersensitivity by central and peripheral mechanisms Background: Acute postoperative pain is one of the frequent reasons for pain treatment. However, the exact mechanisms of its development are still not completely clear. Transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) receptors are involved in nociceptive signaling in various hypersensitive states. Here we have investigated the contribution of TRPV1 receptors expressed on cutaneous peripheral nociceptive fibers and in the spinal cord on the development and maintenance of hypersensitivity to thermal and mechanical stimuli following surgical incision. A rat plantar incision model was used to test paw withdrawal responses to thermal and mechanical stimuli. The effect of the TRPV1 receptor antagonist SB366791 was investigated 1) by intrathecal injection 15 min before incision and 2) intradermal injection before (30 min) and immediately after the surgery. Vehicle-injected rats and naïve animals treated identically were used as controls. Results: Plantar incision induced mechanical allodynia and hyperalgesia and thermal hyperalgesia. A single intrathecal administration of SB366791 significantly reduced postincisional thermal hyperalgesia and also attenuated mechanical allodynia, while mechanical hyperalgesia remained unaffected. Local intradermal SB366791 treatment reduced thermal hyperalgesia and mechanical allodynia without affecting mechanical hyperalgesia. Conclusions: Our experiments suggest that both peripheral and spinal cord TRPV1 receptors are involved in increased cutaneous sensitivity following surgical incision. The analgesic effect of the TRPV1 receptor antagonist was especially evident in the reduction of thermal hyperalgesia. The activation of TRPV1 receptors represents an important mechanism in the development of postoperative hypersensitivity. http://www.molecularpain.com/content/10/1/67 Eva Uchytilova Diana Spicarova Jiri Palecek Molecular Pain 2014, null:67 2014-11-17T00:00:00Z doi:10.1186/1744-8069-10-67 /content/figures/1744-8069-10-67-toc.gif Molecular Pain 1744-8069 ${item.volume} 67 2014-11-17T00:00:00Z XML Cannabinoid receptor 2 agonist attenuates pain related behavior in rats with chronic alcohol/high fat diet induced pancreatitis Background: Chronic Pancreatitis (CP) is a complex and multifactorial syndrome. Many contributing factors result in development of dysfunctional pain in a significant number of patients. Drugs developed to treat a variety of pain states fall short of providing effective analgesia for patients with chronic pancreatitis, often providing minimal to partial pain relief over time with significant side effects. Recently, availability of selective pharmacological tools has enabled great advances in our knowledge of the role of the cannabinoid receptors in pathophysiology. In particular, cannabinoid receptor 2 (CB2) has emerged as an attractive target for management of chronic pain, as demonstrated in several studies with inflammatory and neuropathic preclinical pain models. In this study, the analgesic efficacy of a novel, highly selective CB2 receptor agonist, LY3038404 HCl, is investigated in a chronic pancreatitis pain model, induced with an alcohol/high fat (AHF) diet. Results: Rats fed the AHF diet developed visceral pain-like behaviors detectable by week 3 and reached a maximum at week 5 that persists as long as the diet is maintained. Rats with AHF induced chronic pancreatitis were treated with LY3038404 HCl (10 mg/kg, orally, twice a day for 9 days). The treated animals demonstrated significantly alleviated pain related behaviors after 3 days of dosing, including increased paw withdrawal thresholds (PWT), prolonged abdominal withdrawal latencies (ABWL), and decreased nocifensive responses to noxious 44°C hotplate stimuli. Terminal histological analysis of pancreatic tissue sections from the AHF chronic pancreatitis animals demonstrated extensive injury, including a global pancreatic gland degeneration (cellular atrophy), vacuolization (fat deposition), and fibrosis. After the LY3038404 HCl treatment, pancreatic tissue was significantly protected from severe damage and fibrosis. LY3038404 HCl affected neither open field exploratory behaviors nor dark/light box preferences as measures of higher brain and motor functions. Conclusion: LY3038404 HCl, a potent CB2 receptor agonist, possesses tissue protective and analgesic properties without effects on higher brain function. Thus, activation of CB2 receptors is suggested as a potential therapeutic target for visceral inflammation and pain management. http://www.molecularpain.com/content/10/1/66 Liping Zhang Robert Kline Terry McNearney Michael Johnson Karin Westlund Molecular Pain 2014, null:66 2014-11-17T00:00:00Z doi:10.1186/1744-8069-10-66 /content/figures/1744-8069-10-66-toc.gif Molecular Pain 1744-8069 ${item.volume} 66 2014-11-17T00:00:00Z XML Adenylyl cyclase subtype 1 is essential for late-phase long term potentiation and spatial propagation of synaptic responses in the anterior cingulate cortex of adult mice Long-term potentiation (LTP) is a key cellular mechanism for pathological pain in the central nervous system. LTP contains at least two different phases: early-phase LTP (E-LTP) and late-phase LTP (L-LTP). Among several major cortical areas, the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) is a critical brain region for pain perception and its related emotional changes. Periphery tissue or nerve injuries cause LTP of excitatory synaptic transmission in the ACC. Our previous studies have demonstrated that genetic deletion of calcium-stimulated adenylyl cyclase 1 (AC1) or pharmacological application of a selective AC1 inhibitor NB001 blocked E-LTP in the ACC. However, the effect of AC1 on L-LTP, which requires new protein synthesis and is important for the process of chronic pain, has not been investigated. Here we tested the effects of NB001 on the ACC L-LTP and found that bath application of NB001 (0.1 μM) totally blocked the induction of L-LTP and recruitment of cortical circuitry without affecting basal excitatory transmission. In contrast, gabapentin, a widely used analgesic drug for neuropathic pain, did not block the induction of L-LTP and circuitry recruitment even at a high concentration (100 μM). Gabapentin non-selectively decreased basal synaptic transmission. Our results provide strong evidence that the selective AC1 inhibitor NB001 can be used to inhibit pain-related cortical L-LTP without affecting basal synaptic transmission. It also provides basic mechanisms for possible side effects of gabapentin in the central nervous system and its ineffectiveness in some patients with neuropathic pain. http://www.molecularpain.com/content/10/1/65 Tao Chen Gerile O¿Den Qian Song Kohei Koga Ming-Ming Zhang Min Zhuo Molecular Pain 2014, null:65 2014-10-10T00:00:00Z doi:10.1186/1744-8069-10-65 /content/figures/1744-8069-10-65-toc.gif Molecular Pain 1744-8069 ${item.volume} 65 2014-10-10T00:00:00Z XML ¿9-nicotinic acetylcholine receptors contribute to the maintenance of chronic mechanical hyperalgesia, but not thermal or mechanical allodynia Background: The current pharmacological treatments for chronic pain are limited. The first analgesic drug approved for clinical use in decades that has a novel molecular target is the synthetic version of a naturally occurring conotoxin. Several conotoxins that target ion channels have progressed to clinical trials for the relief of pain. Vc1.1 and RgIA are analgesic α-conotoxins that target α9-subunit-containing nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (α9-nAChR) as well as GABAB receptor mechanisms. However, the evidence for the involvement of α9-nAChRs in pain is controversial. In the present study, the role of the α9-nAChR in pain was assessed using a battery of behavioural pain tests and pain models in α9-nAChR knockout (KO) mice. Results: α9-nAChR KO mice showed normal responses to acute noxious thermal and mechanical stimuli, and developed normal chronic cold and mechanical allodynia in inflammatory and nerve injury pain models. However, KO animals developed mechanical hyperalgesia to a lesser extent than their wild type (WT) counterparts in both inflammatory and neuropathic pain models. Chronic neuropathic pain is sustained in WT mice for at least 21 days post injury, while KO mice show significant recovery by 14 days post injury. KO sham mice were also resistant to the repeated-measures effect of the noxious pain test that caused a gradual onset of mild mechanical hyperalgesia in WT sham animals. Conclusions: The α9-nAChR is not involved in acute pain perception or chronic thermal or mechanical allodynia or thermal hyperalgesia but does contribute to the intensity and duration of chronic mechanical hyperalgesia, suggesting that pain-relieving actions of antagonists that target this site may be restricted to high threshold mechanosensation. The α9-nAChR appears to be a valid target for pharmacological compounds that alleviate long-term mechanical hyperalgesia and may be of use as a prophylactic drug to prevent the development of some symptoms of chronic pain. http://www.molecularpain.com/content/10/1/64 Sarasa Mohammadi Macdonald Christie Molecular Pain 2014, null:64 2014-10-02T00:00:00Z doi:10.1186/1744-8069-10-64 /content/figures/1744-8069-10-64-toc.gif Molecular Pain 1744-8069 ${item.volume} 64 2014-10-02T00:00:00Z XML Gabapentin reverses central hypersensitivity and suppresses medial prefrontal cortical glucose metabolism in rats with neuropathic pain Background: Gabapentin (GBP) is known to suppress neuropathic hypersensitivity of primary afferents and the spinal cord dorsal horn. However, its supra-spinal action sites are unclear. We identify the brain regions where GBP changes the brain glucose metabolic rate at the effective dose that alleviates mechanical allodynia using 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) scanning. Results: Comparing the PET imaging data before and after the GBP treatment, the spared nerve injury-induced increases of glucose metabolism in the thalamus and cerebellar vermis were reversed, and a significant decrease occurred in glucose metabolism in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), including the anterior cingulate cortex. GBP treatment also reversed post-SNI connectivity increases between limbic cortices and thalamus. Conclusions: Our results indicate that GBP analgesic effect may be mediated by reversing central hypersensitivity, and suppressing mPFC, a crucial part of the cortical representation of pain, in the brain. http://www.molecularpain.com/content/10/1/63 Hsiao-Chun Lin Yu-Hsin Huang Tzu-Hao Chao Wen-Ying Lin Wei-Zen Sun Chen-Tung Yen Molecular Pain 2014, null:63 2014-09-25T00:00:00Z doi:10.1186/1744-8069-10-63 /content/figures/1744-8069-10-63-toc.gif Molecular Pain 1744-8069 ${item.volume} 63 2014-09-25T00:00:00Z XML

June in the East KootenayPosted: July 4, 2012
Ahh, June in the East Kootenay. Just writing that sublimely brilliant headline made me smile and take a deep cedary breath.
There are millions of people around the world – right now; at this very minute – daydreaming about the Canadian Rockies. The lucky make their dream come true by booking/planning a vacation here.
We're 24/7 baby. We're livin' the dream.
Each week as we toil to make e-KNOW happen, we meander our way around the East Kootenay to attend community events or cover news as it is happening.
Part of our travels are taken up by photo shoots as we capture images that help us tell a month-end tale of life as it is happening in this region. The photo shoots are 'on-the-spot' affairs as we have to make the most of the day as it unfolds before us. There is no waiting several hours for the light to change enough to allow for the best shot.
This monthly presentation is an honest portrayal – and it comes warts and all.
While the concept of June in the East Kootenay may invoke dreamy reverie of the like that sensitive poets would murder themselves over, the fact is the month BLEW CHUNKS weather-wise.
In some cases it literally blew chunks, in the higher elevations. Down in the Columbia, Kootenay and Elk valleys, it was a rain-lover's banquet.
The current high water conditions along the Columbia, Kootenay and Elk rivers, as well as many tributaries and regional lakes, such as Wasa, Tie, Windermere and Koocanusa, are a result of all that rain and the normal snow melt. Hey, that's life in paradise.
The publication of this monthly photo spread is the 12th one we've done, signifying by divine right and providence (thank you Monty Python) that we are almost one year old.
East Kootenay News Online Weekly turns one on July 6. In the past year we have presented each month as we've seen it through our eyes.
And here is June in the East Kootenay. Fittingly, it is the 2,000th item we have published since we opened for business last year.
We've covered many, many miles (kilometers the young'uns) and expect to be covering many, many more.
Cheers and here's to a awesome summer!

JOURNEY WITHIN is the story of our spiritual ascent, both as individuals and collectively. With equal parts instruction and inspiration, the book beautifully describes how we have gotten where we are... More > today and our essential next steps. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi gave more than 3000 recorded talks all around the world. Whether it was a village school, a medical conference, a gathering of UN employees or a suburban hall on a hot summer evening, her central words were the same: introspection, ascent, inner peace and – most important of all – a realization of our true self. With humour and love, she both guided and listened. From the opening words, "My father felt that I would do something great," we can sense the trajectory of this tale. And we know too that we are bound for that same greatness. With this book, Shri Mataji reminds us of the journey we are all on. And the direction of that journey is always the same. It is a JOURNEY WITHIN.< Less

Q. You go to one of the most academically competitive schools in Orange County. Do you feel pressure to perform?
A. I do feel competition with other students. I usually feel really underachieved compared to my friends. They take so many extracurriculars. I do science fair, but I can't do most of the things they do after school, because all of my after-school time is devoted to marching band.
Q. Describe your typical weekday afternoon and evening.
A. I spend most of my free time in marching band. That's also my time to socialize with my friends. I usually go to bed at midnight. I spend the entire night doing homework.
Q. Describe how your memory works.
A. I have a really good short-term memory. For a test, if I flip through a page of facts and numbers five or 10 minutes before a test, I can usually remember them long enough to finish the test. I usually don't cram, though. If there's a small portion that I didn't study for, then I can go through it during snack (period).
Q. You're volunteering in the medical surgery ward at Kaiser Permanente in Irvine. What interests you about a career in medicine, and surgery in particular?
A. I'm not the squeamish type. My mom says I'm good with my hands. I like studying human health and bodies. I think it's one of the more universal occupations. If there were no doctors, everyone would be dead. There would be no other jobs if we were all dead.
Q. What advice do you have for doing well on the SAT?
A. If you're still younger, read while you're still young. I have no time now. You should also challenge yourself and worry less about how other people are doing. When I studied, as I started getting questions right, instead of giving myself 20 minutes, I'd made myself finish in 15 minutes. I also think you have to remember, it's just a test. It's not the end of your world.

Located right across the street from the beautiful Bow river. The Bow has a beautiful river walk through rows of trees and flowers. Enjoyed the Calgary area so much.

Comfortable and cozy getaway close to downtownData di pubblicazione: 24-lug-2014 su Hotels.com
Can't say enough good things about this hotel. It's small and quaint, with very clean and comfortable rooms, but it is the service that puts it over the top. We were planning on dining at the Chef's Table (onsite restaurant), but it and room service were closed due to a private event. We were so disappointed, and my wife has difficulty walking, but Jesse Ziercke (hotel manager) arranged for us to go out the back door, across the alley and in the back door of the Brasserie Kensington, where we had a wonderful dinner. Will definitely stay here again.

Nice location and great staffData di pubblicazione: 15-lug-2014
I pro: Staff, condition of hotel and little extras such as chocolates or tea before bed and croissants and coffee/juice when you wake up.
I contro: Adding a small fridge to the rooms.
Staff were amazingly helpful the whole time. Located in a quieter area still accessible to downtown. Facilities and hotel presentation were fantastic.

Beautiful, perfectly located, clean and friendlyData di pubblicazione: 29-mag-2014 su Hotels.com
The rooms looked exactly as they were pictured on the website, extremely clean and the food is amazing! Lemon ricotta pancakes for breakfast were perfect and getting hot coffee and chocolate croissants delivered to your door upon waking is pretty sweet too.The staff were all friendly and the location is perfect to go for a walk downtown or to peruse Kensington. Would definitely go again. We paid $309 for the King suite, it included our own balcony, free breakfast up to $20 per person, underground parking and our bathroom looked like a spa and was filled with all Aveda Products.

I pro: Staff, nice rooms rooms and decor, comfortable bed. Close to the downtown core but the pleasantry of the Bow River across the street.
Quaint and romantic for a weekend visit. Sort distance from downtown with business facilities and a pleasant and intelligent staff. This is my first stay in this hotel but is definitely my hotel of choice for Calgary for my future visits. Exceptionally good staff with service sincere to them.
