Canada orders deportation of US soldier who evaded war

TORONTO

Canada has ordered the deportation of a female soldier who fled the U.S. military in order to avoid the war in Iraq, officials said Thursday.

War Resisters Support Campaign spokeswoman Michelle Robidoux said that Citizenship and Immigration Canada has ordered Kimberly Rivera to leave the country by Sept. 20.

Rivera is meeting with her lawyers to determine her next step and was unavailable to comment, said Robidoux.

?We are very upset about this decision,? said Robidoux. ?The cases of war resisters are not being looked at properly. [Immigration Minister Jason] Kenney continues to intervene by telling immigration officers to red-flag U.S. soldiers who are applying for asylum as criminally inadmissible. We think that has tainted the whole process, and the government should withdraw that directive.?

Rivera, a 30-year-old Army private, served in Iraq in 2006. She crossed the border into Canada while on leave in February 2007, after she was ordered to serve another tour.

After arriving in Canada on leave, she applied for refugee status.

She lives in Toronto with her husband and four children. Her two youngest children were born in Canada.

Exclusive: Amazon teams with Nokia, snubs Google for maps - sources

Amazon.com Inc's new Kindle Fire will have mapping services via a tie-up with Nokia Oyj, according to two people familiar with the situation, filling a gap in the tablet's capabilities while snubbing Google Inc's popular service.

The world's largest Internet retailer, which says its nine-month old Kindle Fire now accounts for one in five U.S. tablet sales, has teamed up with Nokia on mapping, the two people told Reuters.

Amazon will release at least one new version of the Kindle Fire next Thursday.

Amazon will also add location capabilities to the new Kindle Fire, which requires either a GPS chip or a process known as WiFi triangulation, the people said on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak ahead of Thursday's launch event.

Mapping services, which are popular features on tablets, typically include street maps, information about local businesses and sometimes traffic status. They can also support navigation instructions and third-party applications that depend on location information, such as travel services.

Location capabilities mark the location of tablet and smart phone users.

Google Inc's Nexus 7 tablet, which competes directly with the Kindle Fire, comes with GPS receiver chips to support location and mapping functions.

The first Kindle Fire launched last year and at $199 costs half the price of the entry-level Apple Inc iPad, helping it rapidly gain consumer acceptance. On Thursday, Amazon said its Kindle Fires had completely sold out.

Analysts say the 7-inch device helps drive sales of digital media such as ebooks and music, which in turn propels core retail growth for the company.

Amazon may unveil larger versions of the Fire on Thursday in Los Angeles, analysts and media say, which will compete more directly with the iPad.

Although the Kindle now runs on an early version of Google's Android, which Amazon developed into its own operating system, it does not integrate Google Maps into the device. That means users had to access Google Maps via a Web browser, or download map apps from third-party developers.

A Nokia spokesman declined to comment and an Amazon spokeswoman did not respond to requests for comment.

GOING NATIVE

Shares of the Internet retailer closed down 0.4 percent at $246.22 on Thursday, after hitting a record high of $250 earlier following the announcement that it had run out of Kindle Fires.

Cooperating with Nokia may help Amazon develop integrated, or "native," mapping functionality for the Kindle Fire without relying on Google Maps. Nokia is one of the world's largest mapping companies, through its 2007 acquisition of Navteq.

Apple took a similar step earlier this year, when it dropped Google Maps in favour of its own mapping features for its next mobile operating system, known as iOS 6. As part of the switch, Apple signed a global licensing deal with TomTom NV, another leading mapping company, for its map content and related information.

In July, Amazon agreed to buy mapping startup UpNext, which specializes in detailed 3D maps of cities and some sporting stadiums.

Will dispute prevents burial of Sherman Hemsley

EL PASO, Texas (AP) ? The embalmed body of actor Sherman Hemsley, who became famous for his role as television's George Jefferson, will be kept in refrigeration at an El Paso funeral home until a local court rules on the validity of his will.

In the will Hemsley signed six weeks before dying of lung cancer July 24 he named Flora Enchinton, 56, whom he called a "beloved partner," as sole beneficiary of his estate, which is estimated in court documents to be more than $50,000.

The will is being contested by Richard Thornton, of Philadelphia, who claims to be Hemsley's brother and says the will might not have been made by the actor.

Enchinton told The Associated Press on Wednesday that she had been friends with Hemsley and had been his manager for more than 20 years. Over the time she, Hemsley and Hemsley's friend Kenny Johnston, 76, lived together, she said he never mentioned any relatives.

"Some people come out of the woodwork ? they think Sherman, they think money," Enchinton said. "But the fact it that I did not know Sherman when he was in the limelight. I met them when they (Hemsley and Johnston) came running from Los Angeles with not one penny, when there was nothing but struggle."

Mark Davis, listed in court documents as Thornton's lawyer in El Paso, did not immediately respond to messages left at his office.

There is no date set for the case to be heard, court officials said. Enchinton said she hopes it will all be cleared in court.

The Philadelphia-born Hemsley played Jefferson in the CBS sitcom "All in the Family," then starred in the spinoff "The Jeffersons" from 1975 to 1985. It was one of TV's longest-running and most successful sitcoms, particularly noteworthy for its predominantly black cast.

Hemsley made George Jefferson ? the bigoted, blustering Harlem businessman ? one of TV's most memorable characters and a symbol for urban upward mobility.

Business Networking with Biznik - Small Business Trends

Social networking is frequently touted as one of the greatest ways to drive new business. Just keep writing, blogging, podcasting, tweeting, or pinning and the sales will eventually follow. That may be true, for some. But for most of us, sales and marketing is still a 1:1 process. Meeting people in person makes the difference.

If you?ve wondered how to make online social networks turn into profitable business networking, then this review of Biznik is for you. Biznik is an online networking community for independent business people.

I have been using Biznik since 2008 and it has opened up a number of sales for my company. It is similar to other social networks in terms of creating a profile about yourself and your company, but at its core it has created a space for independent business owners to send to and receive referrals from one another as well as establish their expertise in the articles section.

Being a member of Biznik means that you take the business you own seriously, and want to network with other business owners who feel the same way.?Last summer, I created a marketing event with Infusionsoft small business expert, Tyler Garns, and we successfully pulled in 55 attendees mostly via Biznik. It was a seriously engaged group ? we had a ton of discussion and creative brainstorming among the group.

They offer free and premium memberships. I have toggled between pro levels and free level depending on business events I?m planning. Basic paid level membership starts at $79/year.

What I really like:

• Online to real world. There?s a strong sense of ?let?s meet in person? at Biznik.
• A profile that is optimized for search. I have heard many members say their Biznik profile shows up on page one for a keyword that is relevant to their business.
• A real hands-on approach when you start: You get a personal message from the directory of community who offers to help you get going.
• Their old tagline: Business networking that doesn?t suck.
• Event management tool so that you can register and communicate with attendees. Biznik manages payment processing at no additional cost for ProVIP membership level.

What I?d like to see:

• There used to be a referral tool, and it was a great idea, but they disabled it. I?d like to see a way to track or manage or engage with the referral itself.
• A way to filter your network by category/location/relationship.

Overall, I love Biznik as a social network. It is a wonderful collection of committed business owners who understand that business happens when you truly connect, in person and online. It takes both.

If you?re looking for a more local and regional way to find other independent business professionals, who might be allies or potential customers, Biznik is worth a look.

Family Home and Life: Seed Packet Template

With fall just around the corner ( yes it's wishful thinking!)? it will soon be time to start saving seeds from you garden. So I thought I would be real smart and make a seed template for you to print out. I?ve not made printables before and I searched high and low for a tutorial to learn how it's done. It took some work let me tell you. ?(to figure it out, for me at least) Here is the link to the one tutorial?that finally helped me in case you need one.

Seed Round Up (Graphics Fairy)

What I really want to do is learn how to create something as simple as a seed template on the computer. I had grandiose ideas of pretty vintage graphics decorating?mine but that was more than I could accomplish.??

Or a pretty frame for my seed info (Graphics Fairy)

?

I made this one (below) the old school way, drawing, tracing and cutting then scanning it into the computer. I scanned it as a photo then took it to Pixlr to add the text. It doesn?t look as slick as the other seed packet templates out there online. Is there anyone who can send me in the right direction to learn how to make one on my computer?
I made two printable seed packet templates for you to use if you like. One has a large seed packet on one page and the other has a small seed packet on one page for you to choose from. I tried to have two small packets on one page but for some reason Google would upload it as two pages with one packet on each. In Word I had two packets on one page. I have no idea what went wrong.

Here it is; they can be printed on regular printer paper or onto card stock for a sturdier packet. Pretty scrap book paper could also be used.

It would be a fun project for the kids to decorate your seed packet template before you cut it out. Let them color it with crayons, markers, or stamps if you like. I vote for small garden themed stamps J

Cut out your template and fold where you see the dotted lines in the picture. Your print out will not have the dotted lines. For a nice clean fold, use a ruler or other straight edge to fold the template over on. Glue back flaps and bottom flap down. Top can be taped or glued. If one day I learn to make a better and prettier seed packet template I'll replace this one for?you all.?And now that I have learned how to make a downloadable printable document, I can start giving you patterns on occasion?for the things I make. Like?for the?felt cupcakes I made a while back. I hope you enjoy my silly little seed packets.

Foxconn announces $226 million half-year net loss, blames usual suspects

Manufacturing behemoth Foxconn (Hon Hai) has announced a record net loss of $226 million on turnover of $2 billion for the first half of the year. Unsurprisingly, it attributed the loss to the European debt crisis, global economic slowdown and its customers "continuous struggle" for market share. While it made a big push to encourage new customers, capacity far outstripped demand. In order to stem the tide, it's relocating some of its Shenzhen-based facilities to sites in Northern China -- and it's also in talks with carriers to become an ODM, building white-label smartphones in the same way that Huawei and ZTE do. While the loss isn't a rosy picture, the company does have nearly $2 billion stashed in the bank, so it shouldn't be worrying too much.

Diagnostic 'fatal flaws' in the ICU may account for as many annual deaths as breast cancer, patient safety team finds

ScienceDaily (Aug. 27, 2012) ? Each year as many as 40,500 critically ill U.S. hospital patients die with an unknown medical condition that may have caused or contributed to their death, Johns Hopkins patient safety experts report in a recent study.

In a discussion of their findings, described online in BMJ Quality & Safety, researchers say that although diagnostic errors in the intensive care unit (ICU) may claim as many lives each year as breast cancer, they remain an underappreciated cause of preventable patient harm.

"Our study shows that misdiagnosis is alarmingly common in the acute care setting," says Bradford Winters, M.D., Ph.D., lead author and associate professor of anesthesiology and critical care medicine and neurology and surgery in the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. "To date, there's been very little research to determine root causes or effective interventions," Winters says, noting that less lethal patient safety risks have received greater attention.

By reviewing studies that used autopsy to detect diagnostic errors in adult ICU patients, the experts in the Johns Hopkins Armstrong Institute for Patient Safety and Quality discovered that 28 percent of patients -- more than one in four -- had at least one missed diagnosis at death. In 8 percent of patients, the diagnostic error was serious enough that it may either have caused or directly contributed to the individual's death and, if known, likely would have changed treatment, researchers say. Infections and vascular maladies, such as heart attack and stroke, accounted for more than three-quarters of those fatal flaws.

Overall, the medical conditions most commonly missed by diagnosticians included heart attack; pulmonary embolism, an artery blockage in the lungs; pneumonia; and aspergillosis, a fungal infection that most commonly affects individuals with a weakened immune system. Cumulatively, these four conditions accounted for about one-third of all illnesses that doctors failed to detect.

Their review of 31 studies included 5,863 autopsies from a wide range of ICU types. The prevalence of autopsy-detected misdiagnoses, which were stratified by severity, ranged from 5.5 to 100 percent by study. Winters and his team categorized misdiagnoses based on four categories: vascular, which included conditions involving vessel blockages and bleeding, such as heart attack and stroke; all bacterial, viral and fungal infections; mechanical pathophysiological, a broad range of organ malfunction such as congestive heart failure and bowel obstruction; and cancer/other.

After collecting and classifying all error data, the researchers calculated how frequently misdiagnoses would be discovered if every patient who died in the ICU underwent an autopsy. Although autopsy is more frequently performed in complex patient cases in which the clinician may have a lower level of diagnostic certainty, the authors took this potential bias into account. Based on those adjustments, they say their calculations are conservative estimates.

Winters and his colleagues also found that, when compared with adult hospital patients overall, individuals in the ICU face up to a twofold risk of suffering a potentially fatal diagnostic mistake.

"It may be counterintuitive to think that the patients who are the most closely monitored and frequently tested are more commonly misdiagnosed, but the ICU is a very complex environment," Winters says. Clinicians face a deluge of information in a distracting environment in which the sickest patients compete for attention, most without being able to communicate with their medical team. "We need to develop better cognitive tools that can take into account the 7,000 or more pieces of information that critical care physicians are bombarded with each day to ensure we're not ruling out potential diagnoses," Winters says.

Although two-thirds of discovered misdiagnoses did not directly contribute to the patient's death, Winters says they're an important indicator of accuracy and aren't without costs. Patients may endure lengthened hospital stays, unnecessary surgical procedures and reduced quality of life because of non-fatal diagnostic mistakes, Winters adds.

The Armstrong Institute patient safety experts say the study points to the need for additional research to pinpoint the causes of misdiagnosis and identify tools to help diagnosticians more accurately assess patients.

This research was supported by a National Institute of Health training grant awarded to the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and a grant from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (HS017755-01).

Other Johns Hopkins researchers who contributed to this study include Jason Custer, M.D.; Samuel M. Galvagno Jr., D.O., Ph.D.; Elizabeth Colantuoni, M.S., Ph.D.; Shruti G. Kapoor, M.D.; HeeWon Lee, B.A.; Victoria Goode, M.B.A., M.L.I.S.; Karen Robinson, M. Sc., Ph.D.; Atul Nakhasi, B.A.; and Peter Pronovost, M.D., Ph.D.

Pillar of fire rises as Texas gas line explodes; 2 hurt

A gas line exploded near McKinney, Texas, on Tuesday.

By NBCDFW.com

A ruptured gas line that caught fire and sent flames 50 feet into the air Tuesday morning in McKinney,?Texas, has been put out, but not before injuring?two people and damaging several vehicles.

The gas line explosion was first reported at about 8:45 a.m. local time?at a construction site along state highway 121 in Collin?County. Flames?could be seen burning?from about 15 miles away.

According to the McKinney?Fire?Department, a six-person Atmos Energy crew?was working in the area when they ruptured a six-inch gas line with a backhoe.

Witnesses described hearing the gas and the explosion that followed afterward.

"There was a big hiss and we were running around trying to figure out what the hiss was, and it was only about maybe 10 or 15 seconds and then, 'kaboom' --?we saw it across the street," said Chris Bean, who works at the nearby Golf Club at McKinney. "My first reaction was, 'Thank God I don't have to fix that.' Then the reality hit ... you could see the flames and there was no black smoke, just this huge ball of fire. I saw one of the crew members run across the street and he was pretty shaken up ... they just started running."

There?were conflicting reports about the number and severity of those injured, but Atmos officials?now say only two people were treated for injuries, one for anxiety.

Read the original story, see raw video of the fire on NBCDFW.com

"We are very lucky.??They [the crew] were all immediately accounted for. This is in the McKinney city limits but it is in a fairly remote area so there were no homes impacted," said Stacie Durham, McKinney Fire Department.

Several vehicles, including?digging equipment,?were destroyed by the fire.

Power out
The fire caused a power outage in the area and the nearby?Medical Center of McKinney?operated on generator power for a short time until power was restored to the hospital.??The hospital is located about a block?southwest of the fire.

At 11:15 a.m., power remained out to about 1,000 customers in the area.

At about 9:45 a.m., the supply to the gas line was shut down and the fire slowly went out as the residual?gas burned off.

Traffic has reopened in the area, though it is moving slowly.

McKinney is about 30 miles north of Dallas.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.

HBT: Lee earns rare win as Phillies sweep Nats

Cliff Lee bested Jordan Zimmermann on Sunday, pitching seven innings of one-run ball to earn his third win as the Phillies topped the Nationals 4-1.

The Phillies held the Nationals to just five runs over three games in pulling off a home sweep to improve to 61-67. It?s the first time they?ve been within six games of .500 since June 28.

The Nationals had their chance to get to Lee in the seventh, only to be undone on the basepaths. With Jayson Werth on second, Adam LaRoche hit a long fly to right that bounced off the top of the railing and came back into play. Both thought it was a homer, but it was ruled the ball remained in play. LaRoche ended up being tagged out between second and third, while Werth only advanced to third base.

Werth did come around to score on a Tyler Moore double, but the Nats might have had a chance for a big inning there.

With Jonathan Papelbon?unavailable?after pitching three straight days, Josh Lindblom got five outs for his first career save. Lindblom had a 7.88 ERA in 10 appearances since arriving from the Dodgers in exchange for Shane Victorino.

Leg compressions may enhance stroke recovery

ScienceDaily (Aug. 27, 2012) ? Successive, vigorous bouts of leg compressions following a stroke appear to trigger natural protective mechanisms that reduce damage, researchers report.

Compressing then releasing the leg for several five-minute intervals used in conjunction with the clot-buster tPA, essentially doubles efficacy, said Dr. David Hess, a stroke specialist who chairs the Medical College of Georgia Department of Neurology at Georgia Health Sciences University.

"This is potentially a very cheap, usable and safe -- other than the temporary discomfort -- therapy for stroke," said Hess, an author of the study in the journal Stroke. The compressions can be administered with a blood pressure cuff in the emergency room during preparation for tPA, or tissue plasminogen activator, currently the only Food and Drug Administration-approved stroke therapy.

"Much like preparation to run a marathon, you are getting yourself ready, you are conditioning your body to survive a stroke," Hess said of a technique that could also be used in an ambulance or at a small, rural hospital.

For the studies Dr. Nasrul Hoda, an MCG research scientist and the study's corresponding author, developed an animal model with a clot in the internal carotid artery, the most common cause of stroke.

The compression technique called remote ischemic perconditioning -- "per" meaning "during" -reduced stroke size in the animals by 25.7 percent, slightly better than tPA's results. Together, the therapies reduced stroke size by 50 percent and expanded the treatment window during which tPA is safe and effective.

Next steps include looking for biomarkers that will enable researchers to easily measure effectiveness in humans, Hess said. One marker may be increased blood flow to the brain, which occurred in the treated animals. The first clinical trial likely will include putting a blood pressure cuff on the legs of a small number of stroke patients to see if the finding holds. The researchers also have plans to analyze the blood of healthy individuals, before and after compression, seeking mediators that stand out as clear markers of change. They also want to go back to the animal model to see if applying the technique after giving tPA works even better.

Clinical evidence already suggests that remote ischemic perconditioning can aid heart attack recovery, including a 2010 study in the journal Lancet in which the technique, used in conjunction with angioplasty to intervene in a heart attack, reduced heart damage.

Nature seems to support it as well since people who experience short periods of inadequate blood flow -- angina in the case of heart disease and transient ischemic attacks in the brain -- before having a major event tend to recover better than patients who have a full-blown stroke or heart attack out of the blue.

"Small episodes of ischemia seem to protect our organs -- not just our brains -- from major ischemia," said Hess, although the researchers are just starting to learn why. Theories include that leg muscles, in response to the temporary loss of blood and oxygen, somehow stimulate nerves to protect the brain and/or that the muscles themselves release the protection. They also suspect the vagus nerve, which delivers information to the brain about how other organs are doing and helps regulate inflammation, is a player.

The research was funded by the National Institutes of Health.

Wowzers...what a lot of interest in less than half an hour!! Right now there's plenty of slots available so I'll say yes to everyone.

@horseygirl: The alpha's daughter is gonna be quite a demanding part, and I'll be expecting her player to contribute to the plot and collaborate behind the scenes, etc. If that's fine an dandy with you, then by all means submit, but I'm going to allow people to compete for the role. IF you don't get selected for it, I'll invite you to adapt your character to be a regular female Omega.

@Wild1 & nightwolf: More than happy to have you on board again. :)

@Meesha: Ahhh yes, by having you in this RP I shall have righted a great wrong in not having had you last time. As for being your GM, seems whenever we join each others RPs the one always ends up being the other's unofficial co-GM anyway! The fact that you know the characters and events of the first plot will be a boon as well.

Haha loving this!

OK I've made a decision though. Instead of reservations, I've posted "submission pending". This is because I'm gonna be QC-ing the characters pretty strictly, and I don't want to deter any potential submissions. I always feel that it's wrong to tell someone they've got a slot "reserved" if there's a chance you might not accept them! And last time I most definitely had to reject quite a few characters.

Also as noted in my comment to horseygirl, the top block of characters will be especially central to the plot, and so expected to collaborate with me behind the scenes. If you're the kind of player who prefers to just react to what's going on and literally just 'play' out the story as it unfolds, then I strongly suggest you try for an Omega. That said, if you're an Omega, you are more than welcome to collaborate on the plot with me too, and who knows maybe we'll get some groovy covert scheming done to seed a generous dose of awesomeness into the RP. :)

But lastly, THERE IS A PLOT IN PLACE ALREADY. You should all take this as good news because it means the RP won't die because nobody knows what's going to happen next. Something will always be happening. It's not a rigid, uncompromising plot, and I definitely want you all to have a hand in shaping it.

Also a note to anyone else looking...even if you're a girl, consider submitting a male character. We tend to end up short of males. In the very first RP, only two of the males were actually played by male players (one of which was me!)

Strict limit of one "I don't talk to anyone, I just sit on the roof writing in my journal and wondering what my parents would say if they were alive" type character in this RP, and make it justified.
